Dasgű

This language was created for the Ozymandias Challenge on Discord. It was the winner of this challenge (possibly because it was the only entry).

Orthographical Summary
There are two register tones, the lower of which is represented by underlining the vowel (a vs a ).

Long vowels are represented by colons after the vowel (a vs a:).

Stress (solely consisting of syllable loudness) is represented by an acute over the vowel (a → á). These are combined with umlauts to form “double acute accents” on stressed vowels with umlauts (ö → ő).

Grammatical Summary
The language is underlyingly SVO, even though all of the sentences in the Ozymandias text either lack an object or are SOV (like the English text).

Adjectives appear after nouns and adverbs come after verbs.

The language has many instances of non-concatenative morphology, both derivational and inflectional, with possession by oneself indicated using an entirely different root (suppletion).

Notably, “(most important, notable) x of x’s”, is directly derived from the word x (so “king of kings” is a single word derived from “king”).

Ozymandias Text
And on the pedestal these words appear:

'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.
