The Vharanazhdzjuli-Khalosvhenćevhanos language (Known as V́aranaźdj́uli-Khalosv́enćev́anos Ûlźĥ’á Aňćĥań natively), or even Vharanian as a shortened version, is the main language of Kherveinar Valosnkavolis, a small country in the caucasus. It has an estimate of 16,834 native speakers and 15 learners. The language evolved from Old Vharanazhdzjuli-Khalosvhenćavhanos around 700 years ago and is spoken around many areas of northern Azerbaijan and in some parts of Dagestan.

History

Flag of Kherveinar Valosnkavolis

The first recordings of the V-K language were traced back to 504 BCE in modern-day Sochi, Russia. That being a poem titled "V́khjiđòrdó t’Âlđanĥňođis" (meaning "Winds of Fire"), by poet Áuźléđań Kalhúsos. The language is supposedly named after the king V́à’anaźdj́úlí Nđàklhjiâhj of the Kingdom of Nhalasvati, a small kingdom which covered modern-day Abkhazia.

Varients and Dialects across Kherveinar

The one you are looking at now is the western dialect of Khjérvẽnńàr-Valosnkavolis. Throughout Khjérvẽnńàr though, lie many dialects, including Northern, Southern, and Eastern. The older varient of V-K is still spoken throughout some northern areas in Kherveinar.

Eastern

The eastern dialect is very similar to the western dialect. In plurals, the suffix "-svà" becomes "-akhń". The alphabet, most words and the word order remain the same though, aside from some words and phrases. Some of these words / phrases include:

"Hello" - "Khamàrj́źôvàros" becomes "Ňamàźođà"

"Can I have the [object]" - "Kho’ [ńmélćađ] vén ićov natsùrr" becomes "Ŕêđàń [ńmélćađ]"

Northern

Northern writing and grammar is incredibly different to the western varient. The northern varient is a much simplified and basic version of the entire language. It removes most of the diacritics from the letters which makes it easier to comprehend, and northern itself is used by V-K learners to start them off before they learn the western varient. It also follows the SVO order like English for learners and the public to understand it better, rather than OSV.

Example words include:

"Khamàrj́źôvàros" ("Hello") becomes "Qamarjzhyovarros"

"Hnakđinhiros" ("Goodbye" [Fr]) becomes "Nakthinhiros" (Silent letters are removed from words in the northern varient)

"H’gzáň tv́é iźòn?" ("How are you?") becomes "Tvhei izhorn haing?"

Southern

In the southern varient, there are less sounds than the western varient. The L, R and Ŕ sounds of the western varient combine to make the /ɻ/ sound which is represented by the letter L, the J́ and Ź combine to make the /dʒ/ sound which is represented by the letter Dź, and the S and Z letters are combined to make the /z/ sound, and it is simply represented by the letter Z. In addition, the É and Á letters have swapped sounds.

Grammar

Alignment

The language follows the OSV (Object-Subject-Verb) order, meaning a sentence like "Birds can fly" ("Ňésv âđà ój́ń") would be turned into "Fly birds can" ("Ój́ń ňésv âđà"). Words like "t’" ("of") or "kho’" ("the") have no exception to this.

Singular and Plural

Plurals in V-K vary on what the last letter of a word was.

For words ending with "v", you must replace the "v" with "źóh". For example, "T’Khij Ňésv" ("My Bird") would become "T’Khij Ňésźóh" ("My Birds")

For words ending in "kh", you must replace the "kh" with "sov". For example, "T’Khij Èmanekh" ("My Plant") would become "T'Khij Èmanesov" ("My Plants")

For any other words aside words ending with "v" or "kh", add on "svà". For example, "Kho’ Káv́uc" ("The Dog") becomes "Kho’ Káv́usvà" ("The Dogs")
