Language of the North

Alphabet
The letters C, D, F, K, Ñ, P, Q, S, T and X represent two different sounds. The letter always produces the first sound - the second sound is only produced when the letter is between two vowels. Please note that this phenomenon (called consonant gradation) also occurs between different words. However, as the sounds are allophones, you would be understood even if you used the "wrong" sounds.

Stress
The primary stress is always on the last syllable of a word stem.

As the oblique case is quite vage and can have multiple meanings, it is usually combined with an adposition (all adpositions require the oblique case) to indicate a particular meaning.

Grade of comparison
Please note that the "j" is only inserted if the adjective ends on a vowel.

Please note that the comparative demands a genetive as a reference point.
