Norlingish

Classification and Dialects
The name "Norling" was chosen before the language was developed, and the only starting premise was that it would be predominately Northern and Western Germanic. It started off as a dialect of Old English but quickly grew into a useful auxiliary language due to its conservative use of diphthongs and the simplification of roots to allow for a more fluid agglutinative language.

The language underwent a lot of changes during use, including the addition of new roots as well as morphological changes such as the eviction of the neutral and feminine genders, and the continued syncopation of some sounds. Through speech and writing the language was forced to grow and many words needed to be created so as to strictly avoid using roots from other languages. Most roots contain 3-4 letters and diphthongs and triphthongs are avoided at all costs, except in a few cases, namely kuhen, dehen, döer, and anything containing the letter "é". The word åtto is used at times to mean "car" but it is interchangeable with the proper and native vagnur, meaning literally "wagon".

Phonotactics
Depending on the speaker, the phonemes [ɛ] and [e] are typically interchangeable. Known diphthongs are: [e͡ə] in ég, [œ͡y] in öy, [ʊ͡e] in kuher, [ɔ͡e] in åer, and [œ͡e] in döer. There are two known triphthongs, [œyə] or [œyeɾ] in öyer, and [eəʊ] in fréur. There is one known quadraphthong, approximately [oœyə], in Faroöyer, meaning the Faroe Islands.

Writing System
(*) Indicates a digraph and the phoneme it represents, not members of the alphabet proper.

(**) The grapheme 's' indicates [ʃ] when it precedes a consonant (e.g. [ʃt], [ʃp], etc.), [z] when preceded by a voiced consonant (e.g. [dz], [bz]), or when at the end of a word, and [s] almost everywhere else. The digraph "ss" at the end of the word forces [s] instead of [z].

Pronouns
The pronoun system is as follows:

Nouns
Norlingish nouns are inflected for number and definiteness and can take a genitive suffix. They exhibit the following morpheme order:

In the course of the language's creation, all nouns dropped the neuter ending -et in favor of the masculine/general -en and -em, and only few words are still applicable to the feminine -an and -am; and all of which are words that refer to feminine person (e.g. kvinnan, magdan, vantingan)

Also, the distinction between strong and weak nouns was dropped, every noun is treated as Germanic weak nouns are (e.g. mann, manner; döer, döerer)

There are two definite states in Norling, such that "kvarem'  "    and   " ðä kvar "  bear the same meaning.

Strong Verbs
There are four classes of strong verbs in Norlingish, requiring the final vowel of a verb root to undergo a change during conjugation into the past tense, as follows:

o → ö (e.g. kommen → köm)

e → ä (e.g. setten → sät)

ä → o (e.g. bären → bor)

i → u (e.g. finden → fund)

Weak Verbs
All weak verbs are uniformly conjugated.

In the imperative tense, the verb is placed before the pronoun, (e.g hedden vir!; kommen jä!)
