| Introduction | Classic Īz-Drotoraraq (meaning "The Doing of a Speaker", or simplified: "The Speech") is the language of the peninsula of Menur (or Menor) Qa and especially of the conservative land of Īz-Šalutan. It is mostly used in juridical texts and older litterature. A close relative is the Modern Äz-Dretār ("The Speech"), with a simplifed grammar and vocabulary, used by most other Menur Qastrians. |
