Galrantior

General information
Modern Galrantior (MG; galrantior ëg rekli) is the lingua franca of the Klimsan region on the Uxtratana Landmass in Rahtouri. It is essentially an officialized creole of Latter-Hegemony Drulaktior (LHD) and Republic Nirasoi that formed gradually over time as the Drulaktor Galrants continued to make contact with the Niras Galrants. Both of the languages that make up Modern Galrantior are distinctly different, yet both can trace their roots back to the oldest known Galrant language, Ancient Klimsan. This means that Modern Galrantior is a rejoining of two very different tongues that were once one in the same.

Modern Galrantior is the language used for administration and education in the Klimsan region. Many residents of Klimsan either state MG as their native tongue or state it as their second language. Notably, this excludes the Shaneik Diaspora of Alrorei; the residents of which continue to speak Galreic, itself a creole of LHD and Standard Shaneic.

MG is an agglutinative language, combining words to form many single words expressing an idea. MG is also a tonal language, with words and phrases being altered by using a specific tone.

Alphabet
The Modern Galrantior alphabet is rather complex, containing well over 120 glyphs to represent various fusions of consonants and vowels as well as the consonants and vowels themselves and inflections on the vowels. The standard procedure for writing in Modern Galrantior is to use glyphs representing the appropriate fusion when a consonant-vowel cluster comes up, otherwise it is customary to just use the "simple" glyphs (essentially the glyphs that represent one speech sound).

Word Order
The subject and verb along with any conjugations and/or declensions are combined and placed at the beginning of the sentence or clause (arranged like [verb][(pro)noun][declension][conjugation]), while the object is usually placed elsewhere in the sentence depending on the form being spoken, with any applicable prepositions being applied immediately before the object. Galrantior thus doesn't really abide by the standard orders of subject, verb, and object.

Examples:

I am going to the bathroom. --> [I am going] [to the bathroom]. --> [Go•I•(ing)] [to•bathroom]. --> [Gêl•å•(se)] [á•gïtja]. --> Gêlåse ágïtja.

Gender
The language gives gender to its nouns, but not based on sexual dimorphism; instead, the divide is based on the metaphysical state of the noun. Nouns are either organic (any organism, including people; objects made of organic materials are categorized as inorganic), inorganic (any object that is tangible but not organic, such as a metal bar), or abstract (any object that is not tangible by any means). The genders are applied in the form of determiners (equivalents to "the") and pluralization of the noun in question, with a small number of verbs also being slightly changed based on the noun's gender.


 * Organic: the = haa; pluralization [noun]ren


 * Inorganic: the = lir; pluralization [noun]id


 * Abstract: the = kon; pluralization [noun]del

The advantage of this gender system is that nouns are not set-in-stone as one gender; any gender can be freely applied to any noun. This allows for the speaker or writer to impart extra information with the mere change of gender. For example, the word for species, gerilg, can refer to an actual species or the concept of species in general. To refer to an actual species, one would say "haa gerilg" and pluralize as "gerilgren", since the actual species is organic; to refer to the concept of species, one would say "kon gerilg" and pluralize as "gerilgdel" since the concept of species and taxonomy in general is abstract. The pitfall to be avoided here is to not use the wrong gender lest you confuse others.
