Karuslnko

Karuslnko is heavily influenced by Catalan, Italian, Swahili, Swedish, and Japanese while containing words from Serbo-Croatian, Czech, Polish, Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish,(and very light influence of),Ukrainian, Galician, Hungarian, Kongo, Igbo, and Yoruba.

Originally I intended for this language to be an auxiliary language but I decided to give its own unique flare to the language and I wanted to not always rely on Wikipedia to provide all the words for me.

I have also created an official website for Karuslnko  as the language and culture develops.

Stress and Pitch: Always primarily stressed on the first word. Secondary stress falls on the first syllable on non-initial parts of compounds. Irregular stress with usually be marked with an accent.

Vowel Harmony:  Vowels U, O, A are realized as either back [u, o, a] or front [y, ø, æ] inside a single word. From vowel harmony it follows that the initial syllable of each single (non-compound) word controls the frontness and backness of the entire word. Non-initially the neutral vowels are transparent to and unaffected by vowel harmony. 1) A back vowel causes all the non-initial syllables to be realized with back (or neutral) vowels.

2) A front vowel causes all the non-initial syllables to be realized with front (or neutral) vowels.

3) A neutral vowel acts like a front vowel but doesn't control the frontness or backness of the word: if there are back vowels in non- initial syllables then the word acts like it began with back vowels even if they came from derivation endings.

Basic Grammar
Personal Pronouns: Using "Uo", "Du" and "Nui" are optional in use. The personal endings of the verbs indicate who is talking and and therefore it is not always necessary to add personal pronouns. But they can be used for emphasis.
