Classical Bujanski language

**Classical Bujanski** (Zvestarid: **Zvestaridō**, **Zvestariskij**; Bujanski: **Verslōsvije**, **Verkhoslovskij Bujanskij**) was the language of the early Kingdom of Zvesta (Bujan), 800 years before the Tornarin Bombardment upon the Standardisation.

During its time, it was simply known as **Zvestarid** or later as **Early Zvestarid** or **Old Zvestarid**.

## Features

Zvestarid was influenced by Sarmelonid.

The -r plurals that still exist for diphthongs were influenced by Eosome.

* ai - plural: -rai
* au - plural: -ro
