Classification and Dialects[]
'Iperiana Danubiae, or Danubian Hyperian, is a Hyperian dialect spoken along the Danube river in Germany and Austria. The main differences between Danubian Hyperian and Standard Hyperian ('Iperiana) are the word structures, which are much more simple in Danubian Hyperian, as well as the lack of foreign influence on the dialect. Danubian Hyperian is a direct descendant of Latin, and many of its vocabulary is almost identical to that of Latin. Danubian Hyperian has one sub-dialect, namely, Vulgar Danubian Hyperian, which is spoken by the lower classes. In Vulgar Danubian Hyperian, only the pronunciation and the vocabulary, which has several foreign influences, differ from that of Standard Hyperian.

Nouns do not take any endings if they have been incorporated into other verbs by means of their roots: the man's tunic: virtunica. However, the endings are written as subscripts, even though they are generally not pronounced.
