| | |
| Ashthalul is the language of the ancient Ashth civilization, it was originally spoken in the then called Limbra "continent", it is believed that Limbra continent was actually a continental fragment or microcontinent (today's modern Ashthian Archipelago), near the south-eastern coastal region of Phwaim. Ashthalul, while being a Phwaim language, is unrelated to the other languages of Phwaim and any other known language, therefore, it is deemed as a language isolate.
| |
| | |
| The form of the language presented below is the dialect of Limbra, the greatest of the Ashth city-states, where the congress and the treasury of the Limbra league of free city-states stood, and way later became the capital of the Limbra Commune.

| When following the rounded back vowels {{IPA|/o u/}} and the labio-velar approximant {{IPA|/w/}}, all non-labial plosives {{IPA|/t d k g q/}} become labialized {{IPA|[tʷ dʷ kʷ gʷ qʷ]}}. In the (mainland) dialect of Ásvà, this process also unrounds the back vowels {{IPA|/o u/}} to {{IPA|[ɯ ɤ]}} and the delabializes the labio-velar approximant {{IPA|/w/}} to {{IPA|[ɰ]}}.
