ɛɭⱱɛɳ word order: and he stood holding his hat and turned his wet face wind to   ɛɭⱱɛɳ is the general name for the languages spoken by ɛɭⱱɛs, or collectively, "ɛɭⱱɛɳȁ."   There are several languages of the ɛɭⱱɛɳȁ, roughly corresponding to the Theshine ɛɭⱱɛɳ nations of Attractae and Paylae (Coireallea, on South Flynny Island, speaks a dialect of Attractaen ɛɭⱱɛɳ). However the differences are subtleties of grammar, word order, and syntax that falls on deaf human ears. The languages are from the same family, and are generally mutually intelligible, roughly comparable to the British / American or French / Quebecois differences that are more than a dialect, but less than a linguistically distinct tongue.   The ɛɭⱱɛɳ languages inherit the natural sexism of the wider culture, with only a female and a neuter gender for nouns and verbs. Adjectives decline with the gender of the noun they are modifying. The 3rd person pronouns have only feminine or neutral declensions she, it, her, it, hers, its. Genders in ɛɭⱱɛɳ are not arbitrary. Feminine nouns and verbs tend to express value, virtue, openness, reception, progression, and similar qualities. Things associated with femininity also tend to have virtuous, valuable, and progressive connotations. Anything inanimate, non-female, or non-humanoid is strictly neutral. If an animate thing is sexed, it is simply modified with the word for "girl-body" or "boy-body", eg. "sow (fem.)" becomes "girl-bodied pig" [ȁtyi̋ǔ äts]. Note the word for "girl-body" literally means "shape," while the word for boy-body [ȁt] means "shapeless." This example clearly illustrates how attitudes toward gender are deeply ingrained into the language itself.   No human has ever mastered an ɛɭⱱɛɳ language. Most who claim to speak it, speak a pidgin version which is good enough for basic communication. This hybrid sounds silly to the ɛɭⱱɛs, and most grow up speaking a language or two from the Keltic Language Group fairly well anyway, due to encountering Celts during their childhood wanderings. Since they learn as fairly young children intellectually (in ɛɭⱱɛɳ terms), they speak it with a generally higher register than humans, and their accent carrys some pronunciation that sounds a little like 'baby talk' to the Kelts.
