History

Dialects

Syranik

Syranik state flag

Syranik is of the local (and biggest of localized languages) standard of the Dazhdin language, that uses the latin alphabet. It is linked to the Syranik nationality and includes multiple divergences from the Literary Dazhdin, most notably:

• Disappearance of yers, changing the iotation and syllabic structure (-lь- → -ľ-; -tь- → -ŧ-...)
• Rearrangement of I, İ and Y → I for /ʲi/, Y for /ɪ/, disappearance of /ɨ/
• Lack of presence of the adessive, allative and illative cases
• Distingtion of soft and hard R (R for /r/, Ŕ for /ɹ/)

Posąvrag

Posąvrag state flag

Posąvrag is the other local standardized form besides Syranik and uses the cyrillic alphabet. It is linked to the Posąvrag nationality and includes multiple divergences from the Literary Dazhdin, most notably:

• Disappearance of definite adjective declensions
• Phonetical shift /l/ → /w/ for Л, /ʎ/ → /l/ for Љ
• Almost no presence of the translative case
• Partial disappearance of the animacy distingtion, merger of "toj" and "ten" pronouns.
