Tenibvreth is one of two modern dialects of '''[[Braereth]]''', spoken primarily by the vampire clans.
The phonology is similar to [[Braereth|Classical Braereth]],  but is marked by vowel raising, vowel deletion, the establishment of a pure palatal series, and fricativization of the traditional palatal lateral.


Tenibvreth is actually a collection of three fairly mutually intelligible dialects. Classical Tenibvreth was a Western Romance language spoken in pockets of mountainous areas from the Alps to the Carpathians until the mid-sixteenth century, when it fell out of use.
Tenibvreth is also characterised by extensive borrowing of terms from Germanic, Slavic, Gothic, and other Romance sources; conversely, certain Classical Latin terms are preserved which were lost in most or all other Romance languages.
 
The modern language is still often written in the classical orthography, though the two dialects that have emerged from it sometimes diverge sharply. The dialect known as Modern Tenibvreth is much more conservative to the original phonology. The Eomentesa dialect, however, has a sound that is much more similar to modern Iberian languages.
 
For the purposes of this text, We will use the Classical spelling of the language; where appropriate and necessary, dialectal forms will be shown in double-brackets, e.g. '''''[[undix]]''''' [unˈdi] ‘where’, but Modern Tenibvreth ⟪'''''[[ubvi]]'''''⟫ [ˈuvi] or Eomentesa ⟪'''''[[quondex]]'''''⟫ [kwonˈde]. Specific differences in the phonologies of the two modern dialects are described in more detail under '''[[#Phonology|Phonology]]'''.

Tenibvreth is one of two modern dialects of Braereth, spoken primarily by the vampire clans.

The phonology is similar to Classical Braereth, but is marked by vowel raising, vowel deletion, the establishment of a pure palatal series, and fricativization of the traditional palatal lateral.

Tenibvreth is also characterised by extensive borrowing of terms from Germanic, Slavic, Gothic, and other Romance sources; conversely, certain Classical Latin terms are preserved which were lost in most or all other Romance languages.
