Shawafian

Shawafian, otherwise known as H'tkut'kaesla Saslah' ([ʔʼtʰkɯ̥tʼkæ̥ɬɑ̥ sɑ̥ɬɑ̥ʔ]) by its native speakers, is a language isolate spoken by the creatures of Shawaf, a civilization that was in very close proximity to the Empire of Yageeb.

The language has a wide range of moods/aspects, unlike most other Pencilcosmos languages, and lacks passive voice and tense.

Classification and Dialects
Shawafian, as it is in relatively close proximity to The Pencil Language, has inherited some agglutinative traits of The Pencil Language, including nesting subordinate clauses within the same word and sometimes gluing adjectives onto their head.

Consonants
(?): This sound is a glottal ejective, which humans are unable to pronounce.

Phonotactics

 * The glottal ejective can never come before a vowel.
 * The glottal ejective becomes a glottal stop word-finally.

Sound Changes

 * Unaspirated consonants tend to get aspirated when close to the glottal ejective
 * q > χ (unpredictable)
 * kq > kx or χ
 * The glottal ejective shifted to a glottal stop
 * ts > tʃ /_C
 * x > k /F_

Writing System
Shawafian uses a modified version of the Pencil Language script.

Nouns
Nouns have 4 case suffixes: nominative, accusative, genitive, and locative, as well as 2 marked numbers: plural and collective. Other cases are formed using particles and combinations of those. Inclusive variants of pronouns end with -h't, which was the old collective case.

Verbs
Verbs are conjugated according to mood and aspect.

The perfective, imperfective, and experiential aspects were derived from demonstrative determiners/adjectives.

Syntax
The language is head-initial, and does not have a fixed word order (due to a strict case system).
