'''Trellinese''' is an [[Ethlorek languages|Ethlorek language]] of the [[Mede-Lorecian]] language family. It is spoken as a {{wpl|first language}} by the majority of [[Trellinese people]] and as a {{wpl|second language}} by significant populations in the non-Ethlorek populations in the rest of the Trellinese Empire, particularly in the [[Isles of Velar]]. It is an official language throughout the empire, and enjoys constitutional protection as an official second language in [[Cadenza]].

Originally from the [[Astyria]]n continent of [[Lorecia]], Trellinese travelled with the Ethlorek migrations to [[Trellin]], where it displaced the Velaric languages spoken south of the river [[Serëtanz]]. It became the dominant language in the dominions of the Trellinese Empire and the neighbouring Ethlorek state of [[Arimathea]], and largely influenced the decline of the [[Ahéri language]] outside of its traditional bastions in [[Hysera]] and [[Jajich]].

The development of Trellinese has been artificially restrained several times in its history, with the result that the language bears strong resemblance to, and would likely be mutually intelligible with, [[Old Trellinese]]. The language reforms of [[Ri'erha II]], in 1050, saw the introduction of the {{wp|Latin script}} in administration. A grammar book of the early ninth century was used as the basis for this writing reform.

==History==
==Phonology==
==Syntax and morphology==
==Orthography==
Trellinese makes extensive use of apostrophes, both as a glottal stop (e.g. in the place name ''Ja'ekha'') and to represent elision (e.g. in the adjective ''fe'vra''). In both cases, this tends to originate in the partial or total elision of reduplicative ''-ha'' phonemes.
