''-quhanquhasus/-milacī'', Rencadian: ''Thengsornkhwong'') is a classical Ramanuric language and one of two superstrate languages of [[Rencadian]]. It originates from Tālsim. It is inspired by Latin, Sanskrit, and Ancient Greek, and it is a parody of fantasy languages inspired by Latin and Greek, such as High Valyrian.

| |
| Thensarian uses a variant of the Brahmi script.
| |
|
| |
| Brahmi breathy letters are used for ph th ch quh; qu quh written as kv ghv; x uses the kS ligature; t th d n l s uses T DH D N L S.
| |
|
| |
| == Morphology ==
| |
| IE clone; I'm not gonna work too hard on making Thensarian grammar original, as the purpose of Thensarian is just to be a loan source for Rencadian.
