About Tsivoara
Tsivoarə is a Coastal Language spoken by around 1 billion speakers, which includes around 800 million L1 speakers. The language is a co-official language in the Municipal Republic of Aron-Akash (Arón-Akash-ye Ənsuwilyuyrin Təforizanyì in Tsivoarə). It’s mostly spoken by Low Elves or the Ezuragyadi, although it is the native language of millions of humans as well. It is a pluricentric language, split into two main standards - Aron-Akashi Tsivoara and Makheti Tsivoara. The standards differ from each other in spelling, grammar, and phonology. The standard presented here is the Aron-Akashi form of the language.
The language is known for its large and complex phonology which features many differing consonant phones. Tsivoara grammar is marked by the presence of particles which take inflections as opposed to inflections appearing directly on a noun or a verb.
