Zinari Bitiasau (/ziˈna.ri biˈti.a.sau/) is a Bitiasau language, formerly banned for administrative purposes by Yereshadese authorities but restored as the national language by the Revolutionary government of Segiezia. Zinari Bitiasau was largely shaped by long isolation from the northern Igniazi dialect and by heavy administrative contact with the Tesian languages. Its phonology regularises the older system, keeping a stable vowel set /a i e o u y/ and a cleaner sibilant contrast, most famously shifting Igniazi /ç/ to Zinari /ʃ/ (written š) and Igniazi /ʑ/ to Zinari /ʒ/ (written ž), with additional simplification and levelling in everyday speech. Its script is alphabetic but commonly used in a syllable-forward style: consonant-vowel sequences are frequently ligatured into compact CV forms in formal print and modern typing, giving Zinari writing a blocky, standardised look while preserving a consistent underlying encoding for dictionaries and keyboards.
