Te Linua De Marore

Te Linua De Marore, referred to as Marisi language in Traveler's Tongue, is the native tongue of the Marisi People, a people living in the north eastern part of Tiberia. Records indicate an older form of the language being used since the initial settlement of the area however, due to subjugation by different cultures and subsequent influences by them, this ancient form of Linua is more or less unintelligible to a modern speaker. On the other hand however, this tendency to adapt words of foreign origin allowed scholars to gain Information of the history of the Marisi as well as their connections towards other cultures.
While over time many words had been adapted, most of the basic word-stems still resemble their ancient counterparts. Under the union of Orovia the language grew relatively out of fashion in favour of more general languages. As of now the language is only spoken in the Tanirate of the Eusavii.

== Word Compounding ==
The core of the language is made from relatively few word stems, mostly derived from their ancient marisi predecessors. In order to create words in speech these stems are then combined with each other during a process called harmonizing, meaning that certain elements of the stems are adjusted depending on the main stem in the word. 
Terambis = Ter (Prefix of Terre) + Ambi (Surround) + Is (Suffix of Maris)
This demonstrates the harmonization of the words Terre and Maris to form the word Terambis. This process adjusts elements of both Terre and Maris to convey the meaning of the resulting word.
An island is defined as land surrounded by water; thus, Terre ambi Maris ("land surrounded by water") is shortened to Terambis.
Harmonization is the principle of adjusting parts of words when using them in combination, such newly created words are usually employed in order to describe concepts that are explained by multiple words. Such as in the word commonly used to describe islands. Incorporating both the words for land, Terre, as well as the word stem for Sea, Maris. These are then harmonized using an aglunativ in the form of 'Ambi', indicating something being surrounded or embraced by something else. During the process the ending of the main word is dropped while the latter has its ending attached to the middle one. Thus creating the fully harmonized word of Terambis.
But, in rare cases you can have more then three words forming this newly adjusted word, this can lead to the exception of some words being their prefix version in the middle;
Tetunegepope = Te (the) + Tune (Goofy) + Gepo (prefix of Gepora) + Pe (suffix of Notpe)
This word follows most of the previously stated rules. The new aspect is how the third word, Gepora, is simplified to just its prefix, Gepo. This adjustment occurs because Gepora is not positioned at the end of the word, meaning its suffix is unnecessary in this context.
Some words are too short to abbreviate. For instance, Te (meaning "The") retains its full form, as its brevity prevents it from being split into a prefix or suffix.
Other examples include the use of the word Ore (meaning "People") to indicate roles or occupations. For example:
Tilfore = Tilf (prefix of Tilfe) + Ore (People)
This showcases how Ore is used as a suffix to denote roles, professions, or types of people.
== Plural ==
When changing a word from its singular to plural, there are two ways into changing the noun.
"ir" is added after words that end with the vowels, a, e, o, and u.

Aceste 	Home 	Acestier

"er" is added after words that end with two or more vowels.
Example:
Singular	Travler's Tongue	Plural

An exception are words ending with more than two vowels, specifically ending on an "o". In these cases, an "r" is added to the end.
