General Information
Sogdanian, or Turkish Sogdian (Sogdianian: __ ; Turkish: Türk Soğdçe), is a turkic language taking root in Sogdia along side the local Sogdian language. It comes primarily from Old Turkish and Farsi loans. Reletively recently, Russia loans began appearing mainly for recent advancements such as the computer or the nuclear bomb. Sogdanian is a highly agglutinative language using many suffixes to express grammatical relationships. Another feature of Sogdianian is the creation of new verbs by attaching the root to the verb (such as attaching prepositions to verb roots in French).

Consonants
Allophones

Before velar plosives, i.e. [k] and [g], [n] becomes [ŋ], and before the uvular plosive [q], [n] becomes [ɴ]. Although this is becoming less and less allophonic and more phonemic, but nonetheless, {c ɟ} were allophones of {k g} around a front vowel or at the end of a word. {χ ʁ} are old variants of the more modern sounding {x ɣ}; this is similar to the older English [ʍ] for wh instead of [w] after the wine-whine merger. Often times, {χ ʁ} are used after [ɑ] or beginning words. [ɫ~l] functions similar to that of Russian where [ɫ] is the base form and [l] is the "palatalized" form appearing before front vowels.

Vowel Harmony
Sogdianian features a slightly irregular vowel harmony with four front/back vowels: {i e y ø} in the front and {ɯ ɑ u o} in the back. There is a front/back harmony where the vowel in the following syllable will match the previous syllable's vowel's front/backness. This is usually already done phonetically and does not transfer across word boundries or even through suffixes. However, certain suffixes such as case endings.

Writing System
There are two alphabets: the old, Soviet-era Cyrillic one and the newer, pan-turkic Latin one. Gradually, but surely, the Latin variant is overtaking the Cyrillic one therefore the article will be written with the Latin one.

Latin A, B , C , Ç , D , E , G , Ğ , İ , I , J , K , L , M , N , O , Ö , P , Q , R , S , Ş , T , U , Ü , Y , X , Z { a , b , dʒ , tʃ , d , e , g~ɟ , ɣ~ʁ , i , ɯ , ʒ , k~c , l~ɫ , m , n , o , ø , p , q , r , s , ʃ , t , u , y , j , x~χ , z }

Nouns
Nouns do not decline to anything. Instead, they are a root with various suffixes put thereon and compound verbs.
