Language family relationships
[edit] [view] Devotš Adwiot (Adwin)Adwin is a dialect of Nodwain created to be simpler, easier to pronounce, and easier to write, made by language reformists in the populace.
[edit] [view] Zevo Nadö (Nadon)Translated as the Language of the Good Ones, this dialect differs from standard Nodwain in the idea that it often puts adjectives in front of nouns as affixes and it lenites word-initial voiced plosives. I'll get more ideas for this in the future.
[edit] [view] Yoden (Yoden)Translated as "Life Language," this dialect of Nodwain just completely does away with palatal plosives and fricatives, and turns all voiced palatals into /j/ and unvoiced palatals into /tʃ/ and sometimes /ʃ/, also turning word-final voiceless fricatives into nasals. It's a pretty cool dialect. I like it. More on it later.
