Demiarbez Dialect (Hanzeizh)

WIP

TO BE RENOVATED

Early Demiarbezian, also known as just Demiarbezian or Zhɤma’khaniv and many other names, is the mixture of the proto-language Machasīkani and Hanzeizh. While Hanzeizh was created by Loic, the proto-language Machasīkani was created by Throsaere when he was young. The linguist and scholar was helped by his Huzan students at his village. The proto-language would then become a dead language, the only script of it being the one Throsaere took when he went on his nomadic journey.

The Beginning
The first idea of the language appeared after Throsaere was called by his friend Andreas to help him with the Demiarbez province. When Throsaere took a walk around the magnificent lands of Demiarbez, he wanted to bring the province to its greatest. He started off with two ideas - a culture for the province and a language for the town. Throsaere decided to start with the thing he had experience in. He talked with the Etriarch Andreas, and he liked the idea. Throsaere started searching for the Machasīkani script in his luggage. Now that he had a base language, he decided to use the Viodoxan one - Hanzeizh. And thus, on the 1st of February, began the trasnlation from a Hanzeizh dictionary to a Demiarbez dictionary.

Proto-Machasīkani would be considered the era of Pre-Proto-Demiarbezian. (139-Spring of 150)

A Grammar
Having translated over 7 pages of Hanzeizh words, Throsaere didn't really have an official name for the language. He'd call it Demiozeizh. When he realised that the Machasīkani grammar is not ideal, he started improvising. On the 23rd of March, the Machasīkani grammar was re-completed, and later applied to Demiozeizh. But after not finding the Machasīkani vowels ideal as well, he remade them, this time closer to the Hanzeizh ones. This would be the era of Proto-Demiarbezian. (Spring of 150-Spring of 151)

Creating a script
During the re-writing of the Hanzeizh dictionary to a Demiarbezian one, Throsaere would use the Machasikanii script along with the Krinni additions. He would eventually realise that the Machasikanii would be hard to understand to non-native speakers, meaning everyone but him. The Krinni additions were made for mostly wood carvings, so it didn't look 'pretty'. He would start working on a new script, which he would call after himself - Trosilic. The script would be finished nearly when the language began leaving its proto-form. On the 25th of March, the Early Trosilic Alphabet would be finished.

A finished language
On the 27th of March, the language would be finished and out of its proto-form. Now having a finished grammar, and half dictionary, Throsaere decided to name the language Zhɤma’khaniv, but kept Demiarbezian for traveller's tongue. The native name would come from the two words: 'mother' + 'tongue'. Throsaere would call the langage - Early Demiarbezian, but it would be commonly reffered to as just Demiarbezian. (Spring of 152)

Essence
The language is technically a Paloran-Havenite-Machasikani language, since it's basically Hanzeizh with the charecteristics of Machasīkani. Although, the language is only spoken in Demiarbez, its creator still wants it as an official language of Viodoxa. It's considered somehow easy to understand for people who know Hanzeizh, however it can be confusing because the language is missing consonants and vowels from Hanzeizh. It's not rare to spot words being made from root words.

Phonology
Demiarbezian comprises of 29 consonants and 10 vowels. The consonants are most Hanzeizh ones, with Machasīkani unique consonants. The vowels are also most Hanzeizh ones, with a bit other vowels added. The vowels are not romanized usually, but if they were to be written romanized (no modified letters) it won't count as a mistake. However, since Hanzeizh vowels were modified, a unique feature was added to the language, created by Throsaere. The feature was called 'y-zation' and it basically added a 'y' to the front of a vowel. Of course, that changes the pronounciation of the vowel. The 'y-zated' vowels are considered as semi-vowels. Apart from semi-vowels, there are also semi-consonants. The semi-consonants are: 'sht' 'cht' and 'zz'.

Machasikanii
The Machasikanii script, also known as Machasikanī, is the first script of Demiarbezian and also the original script of the proto-language Machasīkani. The script is designed by Throsaere's students and is extremely complicated. After the Trosilic script was made, this script was still used but very very rarely. The script has 25 letters, and those not being enough were the reason of adding the Krinni additions.

Krinni Additions
The origins of the Krinni script are unknown. The only information about it, is that the script isnt finished and it dated 3k years ago. Throsaere had find it during his nomadic times, and decided to keep it.

Trosilic
The latest script of Demiarbezian. As stated in the start, the script is made by Throsaere and named after him. The script is inspired by the Machasikanii one, but much more simpler. The script has a letter for all consonant and vowel, except for the semi-ones.
