	~~'''Classical Sowaár''' refers to an archaic literary standard of Sowaár, partly based on Late Old Sowaár.~~

	~~==Phonology==~~
	~~===Consonants===~~
	~~Identical to Modern Sjowaázh except it had syllabic resonants: '''m mm n nn nr nnr l ll r rr''' (ḿ ń ĺ ŕ m̀ ǹ l̀ r̀)~~

	\|}

	~~===Tone===~~
	~~Classical Sjowaázh had three level tones: high (''á''), mid (''a''), low (''à''). Conservative Modern High Sjowaázh has vestiges of the 3-tone system in its intonation.~~

	~~7 possible pitch accent patterns:~~
	*short: ''á, a, à''
	*long: ''áa, aà, àa, aa''

	~~The mid tone and low tone later merged, hence why high tone is the marked tone in High Sjowaazh.~~
	~~==Grammar==~~
	Classical Sowaár was optimized for poetic meters (like Marathi) – word order was relatively free and affixes used both long and short syllables. Vowel length was relatively free in affixes (obeying some constraints) and fixed in roots. As a corollary tones were also flexible and there were also fewer (phonemic) tonal distinctions in affixes than in roots. [TODO: rules]
	~~===Nouns===~~
	~~Like Modern Sowaár, Classical Sowaár had singular, dual and plural numbers.~~

	~~Number prefixes for nouns existed but were optional.~~

	~~===Verbs===~~
	~~Verbs had more complex ablaut patterns than in modern Sowaár varieties. Affixes, on the other hand, were less fused with each other than in Modern High Sowaár.~~
