I decided to not publish it on the wiki. May be distantly related to Ahise, and is basically an uglier, more analytic and more refined version of it.

Consonants
Long consonants are doubled. * j is used after a consonant to palatalize it or for making consonant clusters

* /ʀ/ is a secondary allophone of /r/ and /ɾ/ after long vowels

* /r/ is an allophone of /ɾ/ before any consonants.

Vowels
Long vowels are doubled or indicated with a macron if in the end of a word root/certain affix, i.e. it isn't correct to write *-ii neither in /ŋoti:/ nor in /ŋoti:θ/, but it's correct to write -ī. Mid vowels are lowered in word-final position.

Diphthongs can end only in -i.

Phonotactics
The syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C)(C)

Trills devoice before voiceless consonants.

Vowel harmony
Makes no sense xD

Only vowels of a certain horizontal group may be in a word root.



Grammar


1st declension
Those nouns end in a consonant. The example noun is xaak, meaning "bone".

If the word ends in a consonant cluster with an unvoiced final consonant, the final consonant is voiced, e.g. "some kings" - bart + -aþ - *bartaþ - bardaþ.

2nd declension
The 2nd declension nouns end in a vowel. The example noun is bezdö, meaning "fool".

3rd declension
The 3rd declension nouns end in -a. The example noun is mita, meaning "horde". The -a ending isn't a part of the word root, hence it ignores the vowel harmony.

Possession
The possession is located before the case marker. After the posession, consonant case markers are put. The -a ending is dropped.

If the preceding morpheme ends in a consonant cluster, an "e" is put before the possession that starts with a consonant to avoid spelling problems, e.g. "your king" - bart + -k - *bartk - *bardk - bardek.

If the preceding morpheme ends in a consonant cluster that ends in an unvoiced consonant, the unvoiced consonant is voiced.

Verbs
The verb system is, well, semifusional. I ain't certain if the slots will be regular.

The example verb phrase is "iqŋaaknamextiñkemŋismaxtiyenaanþsqaarknitnömtqaan" /iχŋa:knamextiɲkemŋismaxtijena:nθsχa:rknitnømtχa:n/ (It's average, lols) - and that it was said that several of us, including several of you, should have already been uncertainly permitting those few relatives of mine to go long time ago * Polarity can be indicated in the verb stem, but it's obsolete.

Moods
* These moods are the only regular moods.

AKA the verbs ending in a consonant.

-t verbs tense/person table
AKA the verbs ending in a vowel.
