Magicumie

Classification and Dialects
This language was created to be used on my fantasy novels.

It is spoken in the conworld of Magicum by all humanoid species (humans, elves, merpeople, dryads and fairies) as a lingua franca, although fairies and most humans speak it as their native language.

Magicumie is divided in two main dialects: the Royal Magicumie (spoken by the elves and the human inhabitants of the Royal Islands) and the Standard Magicumie (spoken by basically everyone else).

Consonants

 * Consonants can be long when placed at the end of the word and followed by a '.

Vowels

 * When the vowel repeats itself in a word (example: maat) it does not mean a long vowel; in this case, the correct pronunciation is [ˈma.at] instead of [ˈmaːt].

Nouns
There are 3 genders for nouns in Magicumie, which are: masculine, feminine and neuter and they are pretty easy to identify. Masculine nouns ends in "e", feminine nouns ends in "a", and all the rest is neuter. Nouns can also take prefixes and suffixes to determine number, augmentative and diminutive.

Numbers
There are 5 numbers in Magicumie: singular, dual, paucal (three or more; some), collective (all) and plural (in general). To indicate the number, you add a suffix:

Augmentative and diminutive
To form the augmentative, you add the preffix smaa'  and to form the diminutive, you add the preffix sinó'.

Articles
All articles above are in the definite form. In Magicumie, the indefinite article uses the word for 'one': nur; however, it has no distinctions for numbers or gender, it is always 'nur'.
