Veslovian (túdska tyhu) is an Germanic altlang spoken in the fictional country Veslovia (Túdska). It consists of four un- (or partially) intelligible dialects, namely northern dialects in Molbry (cf. Vienna, the capital of Veslovia), central dialects in Lubado (cf. Ljubljana), western dialects in Veťny (cf. Udine), and central dialects in Zádro (cf. Zadar). Between the four dialects, the first (also known as Molbrian) is chosen as the standard dialect for the language.

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 ≠ Molbrian duzu), *-ō- > -a- and final (English salve ≠ Molbrian 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 4 largely-unintelligible dialects resulted by parralel regular changes:

  • Northern dialect, spoken in Molbry (cf. Vienna), parallel to Czech.
  • Central dialect, spoken in Lubado (Lubado, cf. Ljubljana), parallel to Slovene.
  • Western dialect, spoken in Veťny (Vîn, cf. Udine), parallel to Friulian.
  • Southern dialect, spoken in Zádro (Zadro, cf. Zadar), parallel to Chakavian, although the related language Serbian existed as neighbors.
