About Biverse German
Biverse German (Bidaitsch /bɪdaɪtʃ/) is a language that developed from dialects of High German brought to Bigermany (the last country in the Biverse continent to be discovered) by the LGBT diaspora when they escaped from wars during the 20th century.
As for its grammar, it has two cases (although pronouns still maintain a distinction between accusative and dative) with some vestiges of the older genitive case. Nouns and adjectives have three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), two numbers, four tenses (present, perfect, imperfect - no longer used in speech and confined to the written language, and pluperfect) and features a simplified grammar compared to Standard German.
Sound changes from High German to Biverse German:

[view] Hochbidaitsch (High Bilemanic)It is spoken around Nai Berlin and most of the country area, including Hamurg, Pomerania, Saxia and Hunsrich. It's the basis of the standard language. However, some of its features aren't included in the standardized Bidaitsch, including the DER dative plural definite article and the retention of the genitive case in the northern areas.
[view] Hochstbidaitsch (Highest Bilemanic)Highest Bilemanic is the dialect of Bidaitsch spoken in the north of Bigermany, from Bawaria and northwards. It gets its name from the high mountains in the north. It's very close to High Bilemanic, but with the following unique features: aspiration of /p t k/, devoicing of /b d g/, the retention of the -n ending in verbs and the insertion of an epenthetic -n- between a word ending in a vowel and another starting with a vowel, the retention of the genitive case and the use of machi + noun.
[view] Niaderbidaitsch (Low Bilemanic)It is spoken in the southern region of Bigermany, south of the capital city. Its main features are the merger of the feminine and neuter genders (yielding a common - masculine gender system), the use of DER as the dative plural definite article, the pronunciation of /pf/ as /p:/ and the lack of the back vowels represented by <ö>, which become /e:/. It also has a distinct lexicon for some common words, but those are also used to some extent in other dialects. It also features -t instead of -s.
