Tyrskan glossary

In the wartorn world of Earth 96, the powerful nations there were torn apart into distinct states and cultures.

For example, the United States, an enemy of Russia, was torn into several regimes who also tore up their English language with them. Likewise, the states of Zetrosia and Tyrska, the successors of Russia, developed **their own forms of Russian**.

The Khvostian dialect of the 1700s to 1880s reduced palatalised vowels.

## Curses

* bjork - Daleskarnian
* bjorkskyj - Daleskarnian language
* djevil, devil - an insane person
* jazik, jaznik - a pagan, a heathen
	+ Usually used towards Bujanski for their refusal to convert to the Tyrskan Church.
	+ This, along with "khol" or "satnok", are words that represent war against Bujan, making a person a target for death.
* khol, khorik - enemy
	+ Out of its culture of hatred against Ukraine, this old slur was later applied to most of Eastern Europe. By extension, the stubborn Bujanski Slavs were also given the term for refusing to become Tyrskanised.
	+ Using this word is nowadays a capital offense in modern Bujan, as many of its users were hostile to Bujanski people. It is considered as one of many Terran symbols, and celebrations of war against Bujan. The use of "khol" and its predecessor were among the reasons why Bujanski resistance groups sought aid from Rukania, a country that resembled Ukraine.
* mjekos - heathen
	+ The legendary goblins that inhabited "a country west of Atlantis"
* razvjol - "the torn up one", a Qyuvian
	+ Mocking the Qyuvian pronunciation of "Roswell" (a ghost, a resistance fighter) due to its similar pronunciation.
* safob - enemy of Tyrska, hater of Russia
* satnik, satanis, satanov - demon-worshipper
	+ A term towards polytheists and other religions.
	+ Bujanski Slavs were called "satanists" only because they refused to convert to the Tyrskans' gods.
	+ Actual "Satanist" cults attacked Bujan, attempting to kill the locals for amusement. Some were even hired by Tyrskans as expendable mercenaries.
* vata - idiot
	+ In Tyrskan, a "vata" is a stupid person, having a mind stuffed with cotton.
	+ It was also a term for expendable fanatics, who were poorly-equipped to mock their supposed stupidity. This term originated from being used towards the bygone opponents who fought against Zetros' rise to power or Tyrska's secession from Zetros.

## Specific terms

	+ In Tyrskan propaganda and folklore, it represented the Greco-Roman civilisations; the predecessors of Russia and Tyrska.

* Drevnorodina - Ancient Mother, western Russia
	+ Poetic term referring to western Russia.

## Differences between Russian and Tyrskan

Although the Tyrskan language was itself originally a dialect of the Russian language, it developed distinctive features:

* Much of its vocabulary was replaced with Soviet terms and symbols
	+ Ru. машина > Ty. авта
* Some vowels have shifted, like и (i) becoming into э (e)
* Palatalised vowels become into a preceding -й; for example, будет > буйдэт ("will do")
	+ Some Russians compared Tyrskan to a very poor mixture of Belarusian due to the frequent "э" vowel replacing "е" and "и".

### Replaced words

Russian word > Tyrskan word

* mashina > avta (a car)
* tank > mitvjeta (a tank)
