Classification
Although similar with Slavic languages, Veslovian is actually a South Germanic language, of which more conservative phonologically than Gothic language. Conservative (phonological features include lack of i-mutation even in the case of -e- (traditional Proto-Germanic 1SG *sehwō : 2SG *sihwizi ≠ Molbrian sechva : sechvez "I see, you (sg.) see"), retention of -z- (English deer ≠ Mozelbrian duzu), *-ō- > -a- and final -ą (English salve ≠ Mozelbrian slabanu ≠ Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐌻𐌱𐍉𐌽 (salbōn)).
Innovative features include Ruki sound law influenced by Balto-Slavic when Veslovian still an integral part of Proto-Germanic, palatalizations, developments of yers *-ь- and *-ъ-, and Slavic liquid metathesis. In Veslovian, there are 3 largely-unintelligible dialects resulted by parralel regular changes:
- Northern dialect, spoken in Mozelbry (exonym of Motlobry, cf. Vienna), parallel to Czech.
- Southern dialect, spoken in Lubado (Lubado, cf. Ljubljana), parallel to Slovene and some other south Slavic languages.
- Western dialect, spoken in Veťny (Vîn, cf. Udine), parallel to Friulian.
This is some of the examples of the 4 dialects:
| English | Veslovian dialects | Proto-South Germanic | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northern | Southern | Western | ||
| man | mona | mona | muene | *mona |
| wife | vivu | vivu | vîf | *vivǫ |
| son | sen | san | son | *sъnъ |

Grammar
Nouns and adjectives
- See Nominals
Veslovian preserve grammatical case inflection for nouns and adjectives, but also made new complexities like animacy and also the introduction of locative cases from Proto-Slavic. The western dialect, however, only has inflection in numbers but not cases, by the influence of neighbouring Romance languages.
Verbs
- See Verbs
Unlike most all Germanic languages, the synthetic past tense died out and becoming archaic in favour of analytic forms by past participles with present forms of vezon: díldo jím, díldo jez, díldo jesť, ..., from dělinu "to divide". Perfective forms are derived regularly from the prefix ho-/hů-.
