Classification and Dialects [Táxinóm yué Dyálékés][]
Mwádrós or The People's Word, is a small language in the Ancient Persian Empire and Hellenic Empire of Alexander. During that time the Greek and Persian words were absorbed by the peoples into the language.
It has two "dialects"/ forms of writting, East centered transformation [Vhélúng'ná] (Vh -->B) and West centered transformation [Vhálúm'nir] (Vh-->V).
The East one writes with an extended Avestan Script(first line) while the West one uses a script similar to Tengwar (second line).
Phonology [Fónólógu][]
Consonants [Wámwés][]
In total the language has 24 sullied/impure consonants (vhár wámwés) and 18 unsullied/pure consonants (dóvhár wámwés) and 1 double sullied consonant (dióvhár wámwé), totaling 43 consonants.
- Unsullied: m,n,p,b,t,d,k,g, ', f,v,s,z,c,ç,x, y, w;
- Sullied: mw, nw, ñ/nh, ng/gh, pw, bw, tw, dw, th, dh, q, gw, vh,sh, zh, ch, çh, r, lh, bh, l, h, fw, vw;
- Double sullied : rh;
Proto Mwádrós had more consonants that use a dot below the letter, to make them ejectives "◌̣", these are not used anymore, they were called powerful consonants or consonants with power (rá p̣álé wámwé - rá bálé wámwé).
- ṭ, ṭh, ḳ,q̣, p̣;
Proto ejectives separated into voiced and unvoiced consonants (ḳ,q̣, p̣ >>k,g,kw, gw,p,b) and (ṭ,ṭh >>t,th,d,dh).
