H'snme

=Setting and Description=

H'snme is a language where nouns and verbs are simply the same word type; they align the same, both can carry the same suffixes and information and both have the same priority.

Phonotactics
To define the phonotactics of H'snme one needs to divide the phonemes into classes. The following table demonstrates them:

There are certain constrictions to syllables:

In addition to syllable constrictions, there are a few other rules that are of note:
 * 1) There can't be more than four modifiers per letter.
 * 2) There can't be more than two fricatives or plosives next to each other.
 * 3) One phoneme can't repeat itself unless it is modified differently.

Sound Mutations
For the language to function properly, certain mutation laws are in effect.

Vowel Influence
Vowel influence is a sound change in which central and back vowels get influenced by frontal [ɛ] and [ɨ].

Morphosyntactic Alignment
The morphosyntax of H'snme is different from that of most languages. The alignment isn't the classic Subject-Agent-Patient, but based on Priority.

Each major part of speech gets a priority tag, namely -TOP, -AVRG, and -LOW.

The priority system isn't just a fancy way of saying "tripartite", where the S, A, and P parts of speech invariantly get a class of cases, but actually a very fluid system partially based on emphasis, importance, focus and obviously priority.

Essentially, any part of speech can get any of the three priority tags based on how important it is related to the details and the bigger picture. Each simple sentence (a finished thought that has an action, an optional patient and optional modifiers) has priorities.

The priority laws (or rules, if laws sound too harsh) are often the only line dividing the priorities from anarchy. They are a set of boundaries priorities can't break unless it is specified so.

The rules are as listed:
 * In every sentence, there must be a -TOP priority, unless the sentence isn't very important, therefore the main priority turns to -AVRG.
 * An adjective cannot get tagged higher than the word it modifies, unless the attribute is more important than the word.
 * An -AVRG tag can exist almost exclusively if there already are -LOW and -TOP tags.
 * In any one simple sentence, there can be at most three tags, therefore no repetition of tags is allowed.

Morphology and Syntax
Grammar is divided into two basic categories: Morphology and Syntax.
