Exgot

Introduction
This language is a language that had evolved from its ancenstor language Natraden. The name derived from the Natraden word for Mode: Ëxgurz. This has lead to become the name of the language as well as the word for Language in itself. However, the language can and is still referred to as (Exgotian)-Natraden in other languages. Exgot is a name only used to differenciate between the two languages. As Natraden evolved, the word order quickly changed to SVO. Verbs and adjectives began to inflect more and the genders were deemed unnecessary. All articles excluding the definite article were deemed unnecessary and the definite article became a noun declension.

Phonetics
Below are the possible sounds and their corresponding letters

Alphabet
Each letter and few digraphs have their own distinct sound. This may differed whether they are word-initial or final. Below is the table for all the letters alongside a few digraphs according to the IPA. Everything below is in the alphabet excluding the ß, digraphs and stressed vowels. Everything in brackets are optional.

Phonetic Rules

 * Nouns never end in an o
 * When R proceeds an unaccented or stressed vowel, it makes the sound /w/ unless it proceeds U/Ù where in which case makes the sound /ɒ/
 * This doesn't apply to Y/Ỳ
 * This doesn't apply across different words in a compound word
 * This doesn't apply after double vowels:
 * AAR makes the sound /a:ɾ/
 * Double letters make a lengthened sound
 * This doesn't apply to GG
 * Two stressed vowels cannot occur in one word, let alone next to each other
 * This can happen in compound words however
 * Two already elongated letters cannot proceed one another
 * Preferably ẞ
 * Ŋ can become /ɑ̃/ when used in the following formations:
 * Vowel Consonant Nothing
 * VŋC
 * ​This actually makes the vowel before it nasal as opposed to /a/.
 * CŋN
 * CŋC
 * An voiced sound followed by its unvoiced counterpart, the unvoiced sound is used
 * This doesn't apply across different words in a compound word
 * This can apply to non-counterparts
 * B makes the sound /p/ when preceding the letter T.
 * Although they aren't counterparts, they are both plosive consonants
 * The difference between Ä and ÄÄ is that in the single letter, the elongation is optional.
 * E does not make the /ə/ but the /ɛ/ at the end of a word if a vowel directly precedes it.
 * If any of these vowels preceding E make a different sound:
 * I /j/
 * O /w/
 * U /w/
 * Likewise, the e in eo is pronounced /j/
 * A Glottal Stop (represented by ') is automatically pronounced in the following vowel formations:
 * e'a
 * o'a
 * e'o
 * a'o
 * o'i
 * (double vowel) same vowel
 * like ää'ä

Word Order
This has remained fairly intact in evolution, There is a noticeable change from SOV to SVO. This word order is strict unless inversion happens.
 * 1) (Subject)
 * 2) (Auxiliary) Verb
 * 3) Indirect Object
 * 4) Adverb
 * 5) Object
 * 6) Time
 * 7) Manner
 * 8) Preposition
 * 9) Prepositional Object
 * 10) Seperable Part of a Seperable Verb
 * 11) Participle
 * 12) Infinitive [when auxiliary verb is used]

Verb Conjugation
During evolution, the language developed the use of person and number in conjugation. This was for the purpose that in rapid speech, the pronoun could be omitted (and now it mostly is). All verbs end in en and only one of them is irregular. The continuous aspect uses the same conjugation as the simple aspect and the subjunctive mood uses the same conjugation as the indicative. The perfect aspect uses the auxiliary verb to have: helben. The structural and auxiliary forms of to be and to have were removed and used the same verb for both. Below is the conjugation of the verb to be; the only irregular verb.

To Be
[+1]  Normal Conjugation is underlined

Regular Verbs
Regular verbs are all the verbs except to be. They are conjugated as follows:

To Have [+1]  Normal Conjugation is underlined

Doers
People doing an action often have a title: e.g. a person that kills is called a killer. Notice the prefix.

In Exgot, you add se or sa to the infinitive depending on the gender. Let's take the verb migrate:

monòwen - to migrate

Monòwense - male or gender-neutral migrant

Monòwensa - female migrant

Declension
There are ways to tell them apart when declining them. For example, to decline the above with the definite declension, different rules apply:

Monòwenset - the male or gener-neutral migrant

Monòwens t et - the female migrant

Future Tense
This tense is specified with the verb fjoten (to will) along with a conjugated participle. People can say it is a future participle but this is a thought for a name as this conjugation does not have one.

Negative Verbs
To make a verb negative, you add the prefix Nää-.

Ivò näähelbé äs

I don't have it

Uvo nääbehelben äs?

Don't you have it?

Passive Verbs
This is done by the use of the verb to get, exeden as an auxiliary verb used with the past participle.

Äs exeda geljaadet

It is loaded or more literally It gets loaded.

Aspects
As stated before, the continuous is merged with the simple aspect and the perfect tense uses the auxiliary verb helben. However, for emphasis that the aspect is continuous, one can use the verb  älw en followed by the past participle.

Seperable Verbs and Verbs with Prefixes
The seperable part of seperable verbs, when conjugated, is the third last part in the word order. This means that the seperable part has to go an the end of a phrase before participles. Verbs with prefixes conjugated normal then the prefix is added. For example:

R-ljaaden

To reload

Ivò r-ljaadé

I reload

Äs exed r-geljaadet

It is reloaded

Personal Pronouns
A quick note, if you don't know the gender and you are speaking in third person, you use the word for it. In English, this may be offensive but in Exgot (like Natraden) it is quite normal. [+1] Everything in this row is treated as an infinitive adjective

[+2] The above doesn't apply to the 0th person.

Definiteness & Pluralisation
Definiteness is defined with a suffix and is tied in with the pluralisation. The indefinite suffix does not exist but can be specific if you specify the quantity as one.

Case Marking
Nouns decline according to case via a suffix. The cases are: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genetive, Locative and Vocative. [+1] Definite nouns declining to case whilst definite keep their e when using odem and oga.

Mànntodem - no e

Atwent e odem - e underlined

Atwentodem - this means adventure as opposed to the adventure

Genetive Case
The genetive case is stringed when there are more than two nouns:

Manntets Fŋmme

The man's wife

Manntetsfŋmmespfeŋcii

The man's wife's answer

Fact: Family Names (or surnames) always end in oga (LOC declension). The locative is used because there is an imaginary of between names. Here's mine:

Dańel (fvå) Färnàndecioga

Prepositions
Prepositions can appear in the dative, genetive and locative.

Adjectives
Adjectives decline to case and number. All adjectives come before the noun, are regular and their infinitive forms always end in e.

Below is the declension of the word Exgotian-Natraden: Exgùrce.

Example Phrase
Exgùrc es Wženntodem

The Exgotian-Natraden language

Ivò wžennie exgùrc är Wženntodem

I speak the Exgotian-Natraden language

Comparative and Superlative
To create these adjectives, you take the infinitive and add the suffixes ere and este respectively.

güle - green

gülere - greener

güleste - greenest

Adjectival Verbs
To create adjectival verbs, you take the infinitive, change the en to ën and add a suffix:

sploozen - to burst

splooz ë n de  - bursting

splooz ë n ne  - bursted

"Articles"
Articles don't properly exist in Exgot but more rather exist in different parts of speech. Here are a list of "articles":
 * ett [Number]
 * Means a or an
 * Literally means one
 * The "article" doesn't have to be used
 * Mànna and ett Mànna both mean the same thing
 * The only difference is that ett Mànna is specific that there's  one
 * älwënde [Adjective]
 * Means some
 * Literally means being
 * dötälwënde [Adjective]
 * Means many
 * Literally means there-being
 * nääälwënde [Adjective]

 * Means this or that (never specific)
 * Literally means specifying
 * Pfäanne [Noun]
 * Means all or every
 * Literally means all
 * Used with genetive and plural
 * Pfäannes Mànnie

Suffixes of Purpose
Some suffixes provide meaning:

[Infinite Verb]+tol
This shows a tool in order to accomplish the verb. For pen, you write Szrirbentol meaning Writing tool.

[Infinite Verb]+plaza
This shows a plac where the purpose of the said place is for [verb]. For school, you write Knöllenplaza meaning Learning place.

[Noun; stressing last vowel]+llen
This shows a miniature version of the noun. However, the declension of llen in different. The definite and plural forms are lltet and llie respectively. Take the word Person, stress the last vowel and add the suffix to create Child:

Älwensèllen

Interrogation
Interrogation is quite simple. The word order stays the same and the verb gains a prefix, along with the place of the answer filled in with an adverb:
 * pšreza - what
 * pšrezé - where
 * pšrezii - when
 * pšrezo - who
 * pšrezu - how
 * pšrezy - why

Question and Response Example
Ivò be pšrennie pšrezy ?

Why am I apologising?

Ivò pšrennie dwa ...

I am apologising because ...

Notice how the word for why became the response word because in the answer and also how the verb lost the interrogative inflection.

Numerical System
Numerics are in base 10.

Marking
Marking stayed the same. The dot is used to group digits and the Flek (`) as the decimal point and ordinal numbers are marked with their adjectival endings.

Äré wa za 10e

He was the tenth

10es Fŋmmtet

The tenth woman
