Tiôtj

Tiôtj (pronounced [tjo:tʃ]) is an artificial language that user Llyn created few months ago (and he's still creating and improving it). He was inspired by another artificial language that supposed a different evolution of Anglo-Saxon, so he tried to imagine "his own" evolution of Old English. In this evolution Latin influence was scarce at all, while one can appreciate a little Scandinavian influence in the writing system and some borrowings.

The term "tiôtj" comes from Old English "þéodisc", that is an adjective that means "of our people".

Classification
Tiôtj is a Germanic language that is strongly linked to Modern English. This is due to the fact that both English (naturally) and Tiôtj (artificially and a posteriori) descend from Old English.

While English has undergone a strong Latin influence, the same influence on Tiôtj has been very very weak. It can be appreciated the influence of Scandinavian languages on the writing system and just the influence of a language as Welsh in the use of the letter  to represent the long vowel [u:].

Alphabet
Tiôtj alphabet uses letters from Latin alphabet and contains 26 characters:

Tiôtj has got also two digraphs: , that is pronounced as [ʃ], and , that is pronounced as [tʃ]. Also a trigraph exists: that is pronounced [ʃ] (so  and have got the same pronounciation).

The question of the dj digraph
In some dialectal pronounciation when the letters  and  come together, they are pronounced [dʒ] just as they were a digraph and the voiced counterpart of . Although this way of pronouncing is considered incorrect, the pronounciation [dʒo:r] for [djo:r] to say 'djôr" (animal) is becoming commoner and commoner.

The accent
The position of the accent in this language is quite regular, because the stress falls on the root and thus there are few rules to observe:

1) In substantives, adjectives, adverbs the stress falls on the first syllable, even if they are compound nouns formed by prefix + noun, ex.: lêrstôf (school) is read ['le:rsto:f], though it is formed by lêr- (prefix) + stôf (= place);

2) In verbs the stress falls on the first syllable, but if they are compund verbs formed by prefix + noun, the stress falls on the root, that is after the prefix, ex.: avatjan (to wake up) is read [a'vatʃan], though it is formed by a- (prefix) + vatjan (= to wake).
