Iteresh (ite. itereš "the language of between"; also called voldaran noguš "Oldnorgush"; pl. język iterski) is a language of Norgush subbranch of Bircash languages. It had once been a national language of Kingdom of Norgu and after its extinction maintained as book language.
Name conventions
As iteresh has an ending -š meaning language, when spelled with š it's a iteresh text. But when writing in English I keep English spelling, to reflect Polish name of language - język iterski. So will be done with all other names.
History
Iteresh developed about I century of Norgu from norgush dialect of commonbircash. It kept almost all phonological structure unchanged when most of lexicone had been altered with many newly invented suffixes.
In the VI century of Norgu Iteresh is in its classical period. Lateron, after extinction, this language standard will be thaught.
Iteresh had been in use until XI century of Norgu, when replaced be Norgush, its of spring. Language stood in use in "book matters" - that means science, humanities, philosophy, vitatina and diplomacy. Among Norgush culture it is said that knowing Iteresh is a basis for a well educeted person.
