Nureki

General Information
Nureki, (Nureki: __ ; Tajik: Норак, Norak), is a turkic language taking root in Sogdia along side the local Sogdian and Tajik languages. 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

[l~ɫ] works like Russian: [ɫ] is usually everywhere except before palatal vowels where it becomes [l].

Vowels
Diphthongs: {aɪ̯ eɪ̯ eʏ̯}

Vowel Harmony
Sogdianian features a slightly irregular vowel harmony which matches front/back vowels. The system works head-initially where the vowel in the syllable following the one of the static vowel will change front/backness to agree (for example, -lAr: oğçüş, applause, has a round, front vowel. So, when the plural marker is attached, it takes a front vowel: oğçüşler, applauses. To compare, duxuz, nine, has a round, back vowel. So, the opposite happens and the collective marker takes a back vowel: duxuzogu, nines).

These are the relationships: ''(*) This is a rounding changing which applies rarely in certain suffixes in the same fashion as the front/back change. The vowel that will change will agree to the roundness of the preceding syllable's vowel's roundness  and  front/backness. For exmaple, the collective suffix,'' -ağ. This suffix can be the following: -ağ, -eğ, -oğ, -öğ. Note the following: gut, fortune, becomes gutoğ; daş, spider, becomes daşağ; çerig, army, becomes çeriğeğ.

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.

Cyrillic А, Б , Г , Д , Е , Ё , З , И , Й , К , Л , М , Н , О , П , Р , С , Т , У , Ф , Х , Ц , Ч , Ђ , Ш , Ы , Ю { a, b , g , d , e , ø , z , i , j , k , l~ɫ , m , n , o , p , r , s , t , u , f , x , θ , tʃ , dʒ , ʃ , ɯ , y }

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

Ğ ğ is a special letter with no clear value. Instead, it is a sort of auxiliary letter to mark diphthongs on certain letters. They include: Any other appearent however is silent such as between vowels or after a vowel not listed hereabove.
 * Ağ ağ - [aɪ̯]
 * Eğ eğ - [eɪ̯]
 * Oğ oğ - [oʊ̯]
 * Öğ öğ - [eʏ̯]

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

But, as a sketch, it'll be: case, plurality, possession

Plurality
There are two numbers: singular and plural. Singular is unmarked, and the plural takes the suffix __ (agrees with the vowel harmony). The plural form also happens to be a formality marker when speaking to people of high authority where it would be attached to the appropriate word (for example, the word ıfadşa, king, would take the pseudo-plural formal marker, becoming ıfadşa, when used as a vocative or addressing a monarch in anyway).

Some nouns can be "collective" which is equivalent to Germanic "mass" nouns. This is indicated by the suffix -ağ. This suffix is better explained under Vowel Harmony.

Possession
These suffixes indicate possession or relationship of the word attached thereto. There is a cetain sandhi with singular number suffixes. After vowels or ğ, the suffixes does not take a vowel. For example, tenırı > tenırı-m but gır > gır-ım. This is similar to the 3rd person suffix: tenırı > tenırı-sı but gır > gır-ı. The 3rd person plural suffix follows the same patter as the collective suffix -ağ (information under Vowel Harmony).

Adjectives
Adjectives are much looser than in English or romance languages where often times, an adjective can equally be a noun. When a possessive suffix is put thereon, the adjective represents the quality of the owner. Adjectives themselves can also be suffixed after a fully suffixed verb as an adverb.

However, a given noun can be clarified as adjectives -lıg.
