About Achiyitqan
Achiyitqan is a dialect continuum spoken by the Achiyitqan peoples of northern Miraria. It is loosely inspired by Inuktitut and Cree languages, including its phonology, polysynthetic verbs, and animacy system. It is natively written with an abugida (alphasyllabary). The language described on CWS is, unless otherwise specified, the Standardized dialect, which has some archaic features.

Achiyitqan[view] About MaakpaueanA language family spoken in the northeast of Mahavia, unrelated to the neighbouring East Mirarian languages, typified by polysynthetic, nominative-accusative languages with animacy distinctions.
[edit] [view] Achiyitqa Gúyaqu (Noncanonical)This dialect exists to collect non-Sahar-canonical terminology and/or borrowings from non-Sahar languages, including natlangs, and languages from Achiyitqan's original setting (my personal conworld).
[edit] [view] Puulsüwa (Puulsuwa)Also known as Western Achiyitqan. A dialect spoken to the west of mainland Achitiqána, featuring slightly different vowels and fricatives and unique vocabulary.
[edit] [view] Tsaavalu (Tsaavalu)Primarily associated with Tigáatgiaqits and surrounding areas, Tsaavalu is a phonologically distinctive form of Achiyitqan with a voiced stop → fricative shift, phonemic central vowels, and it retains high tones and glides that are deleted in the standard. It also features quite a few "colloquialisms" and some minor morphological differences.
