Nuvettian

Nuvettian (autonym: ?) is a very new language that is in the process of being discovered.The proper English pronunciation of the language is [nu.ve.ti.an], not [nuviʃən].

Consonants
Notice that IPA sounds are represented in normal text. Beneath those characters, in bold, is the standard way of representing that sound in the language's orthography.

Note that nasals assimilate to their place of articulation in speech. This means it is possible, but not necessarily actually the case that a word with the cluster -mg- and -ng- are phonemically contrasted but realized as the same sound.

Vowels
* the schwa is often the result of vowel reductions, especially word finally
 * the phone /ɯ/ typically varies between [ɯ]~[ʌ].

Phonotactics
The maximum possible syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C)(C). Nasals and lateral approximates may be syllabic. For example stoksni is realized [stoks.ni]. But stoksn would be pronounced [stoks.ən]. It is important to realize that this word is therefore not CCVCCC but CCVCC.VC.

Note that all vowels in sequence form hiatus and not diphthongs. Diphthongs are formed with a vowel and an approximate. For example, ai is [a.i], öu [ɤ.u], etc. While ay is [aj] and öw would be [ɤw]. The following diphthongs are valid in the language:

ay, ey, oy, uy, aw, ew, iw, ow. All other combinations of diphthongs are not found in the language. Note that these sequences may exist between syllable boundaries however. Hypothetically, the word möyis would then be [mɤ.jis] while mayis may be [maj.is] or [ma.jis]. Generally, in breaking up syllables, valid diphthongs are preferred to maximized onsets, so we would say the word is [maj.is].

Some other rules
 * The sound /ʔ/ can only be used intervocalically
 * The sounds /h/ and /ɹ/ cannot end a syllable
 * Affricates such as /ts/ /pf/ /tθ/ /tʃ/ etc. are all possible consonant clusters but are not considered individual phones but rather sequences of two phones.
 * Syllable onsets tend to move from lower to higher sonority unless the syllable starts with a s.
 * Still, many clusters are not allowed such as /tl/, /tn/, etc.

Grammar
Nuvettian is a highly inflected language. It makes use of agglutinative suffixes for the most part as well as heavy reliance on a complex vowel gradation system (ablaut).

The language makes use of postpositions, SOV word order, and adjectives follow the nouns.

Nouns
Nouns come in three classes: Animate, inanimate, and ephemeral. Recently, it may have become possible to class nouns as common and ephemeral. This is because in the past, inflectional morphology was distinct between all classes of nouns and markers could be found. However, now all inflectional ending are the same between the noun classes except for plurals. Plurals are formed in the same way in animate and inanimate nouns but differently for ephemeral nouns. What makes a noun ephemeral is often sensible, but not arbitrary and, therefore, which nouns are ephemeral need to be memorized.

There are relatively few postpositions in the language. Most of that meaning is conveyed through case endings. The following cases exist in the language. ''*cases marked with the asterisk indicate special cases. When these cases are used on a noun that noun undergoes the motive ablaut (see below).''
 * Ergative (Subject of a transitive verb)
 * Absolutive (Subject of a reflexive verb, intransitive verb, or passive voice construction)
 * Accusative (Object of a transitive verb)
 * Dative (for, at, recipient of action or thing)
 * Genitive ( 's possession, used for location in certain expressions)
 * Ablative (used to mean from, away, taken, outwards from a center, off of)
 * Inessive (used to indicate, within, in the interior, or between)*
 * Ellative (indicates out of, without (all senses), beside)*
 * Allative (indicates on, on top of, higher)*
 * Adessive (indicates on)*
 * Perlative (across, through)*
 * Comitative (accompanying)
 * Causal (because of, due to)
 * Instrumental (by means of, through the use of)
 * Dubitive (doubt)**

** this case is rare especially now it is almost unheard of. It is mainly replaced with the appropriate form of eci "to doubt"

The following table illustrates the endings for nouns in their respective cases. This table does not indicate ablauts for plural or for motive cases.
