'''Roshterian''' /rɒʃˈtɛriən/ (native name: ''oṟbiros̱ṯerim'' /ɔɻbɪɾɔʂʈɛˈɾɪm/ 'The Roshterian language', ''ros̱ṯer'' from older ''*rosker-'' 'front, east') is a [[Talmic languages|Talmic language]] spoken in Northeastern Cuadhlabh. It is an official language of Roshteria (''Qaaros̱ṯerim'') and is the native language of 5.1 million people, most of which live in Roshteria. Among Cuadhlabhians, it is known for its unusual (for a Cuadhlabhian language) grammar: it is a head-initial, polysynthetic language in which verbs use polypersonal agreement, evidentials, applicative constructions and noun incorporation. | '''Roshterian''' /rɒʃˈtɛriən/ (native name: ''oṟbiros̱ṯerim'' /ɔɻbɪɾɔʂʈɛˈɾɪm/ 'The Roshterian language', ''ros̱ṯer'' from older ''*rosker-'' 'front, east') is a [[Talmic languages|Talmic language]] spoken in Northeastern Cuadhlabh.
