Wadungo

General information
So, okays. It's an African (Atlantic-Congo in part.) styled conlang. XD

We didn't draw any inspiration from Bantu whatsoever, only the phonology.

Consonants
All non-labial plosives, nasals, affricates and prenasalized consonants can be labialized.

Phonotactics
The syllable structure is predictably (C)V.

/d/ becomes /ɾ/ before front vowels if not word-initial.

Pronouns
The pronouns are fairly simple, existing only in ergative case and not distinguishing by number (only in stems). Also, pronoun stems are slightly different when the consonant of the following (class) syllable is voiced (second form in table). Table of pronouns:

Noun classes
Ergative case is expressed by attaching the ergative marker to the noun and sometimes changing the plain suffix, e.g. wadungo > wadungadi.

Unlike in most ergative-absolutive languages, ergative case is used to emphasize the noun.

Before the ergative particle, /o/ changes to /a/.

Absolutive case is unmarked.

Consonant changes
In plurals, most stem consonants become lenited and do it differently if any occur before front vowels (i, e or ɛ).

Table of changes: (Hierarchy: Voiceless > (Implosive >) Voiced > Prenasalized)

Verbs
Tense, aspect and subject person and class are indicated by prefixes, while object person and class are indicated by suffixes. Number of agent is indicated either by corresponding pronoun or by class marker after a pronominal infix.

Pronominal objects
Pronominal subjects distinguish by person and whether the object is direct or indirect. Like the prefixes, they are essentially shortened forms of pronouns with additional information affixes strapped to them.

Syntax
The word order is OVS and the head direction is strongly head-initial.

Since Wadungo nouns don't have any cases other than absolutive and ergative, particles play a very important role in constructing sentences.

Noun phrase
A noun phrase in Wadungo consists of a noun itself and a modifier, which can be either an adjectival phrase or a noun with a genitive particle.

Adjectives do agree with nouns, though they don't decline according to case, e.g. iɓawadɛ tšitumbawa - a crazy dog.

Adjective
Adjectives and adjective phrases mostly consist of a declined adjective only. However, sometimes adverbs are part of an adjective phrase.

Example text
The boy went fishing in a pond, he found a big fish which he told him, "if you spare me, I'll make you king." so he spared the fish and he became king
