Saruzh is the spoken language of Arganuta and a minority language in areas previously under saruzh rule.
Classification
Saruzh is related to the extinct Tračian Language, but is otherwise an language isolate.
Dialects
Due to the active policy of dialect suppression in Arganuta modern Saruzh knows no dialects seperate from the Church Mandated Church Saruzh.
Historically there were three main dialect groups that each had subgroups of their own: Central Saruzh (spoken in the Heartland), Southern Saruzh (spoken in the southern and coastal Areas) and Mountain Saruzh (encompassing all dialects spoken by tribal saruzh).

Sentences
Exclamation Sentences: It is possible to make single-word-sentences of the schema "A to B".If the first word ends with a consonant, an a is added.If the first words ends with a vocal and the second begins with one too, the beginning vocal of the second word is omitted.
слава + aргана = славаргана Glory + Argana = Glory to Argana !
марг + Ёрёвидил = маргёрёвидил ! Death + Foreigner = Death to (the) Foreigners !
йбё + Ёрёван = йбёрёван ! War + Outland = (Bring) war to the outland ! (second ё is omitted)
Approval questions: If the speaker asks for an opinion or approval, the word некане is inserted at the end of the sentence. It works similiar to [sentence], no ? or [sentence], don't you ? in english Examples:
A sentence is turned into a question by adding дал to the beginning of the sentence.
To express extreme shock/amazement/etc. in a question, the word order in the sentence can be turned around, from SVO to VSO:
