grammar
It is a head final language

Nouns
There are five declension patterns.

1st Declension - Stressed Short Vowel
The vowel changes

Do take note that if the stressed syllable is a closed syllable, in the absolutive forms, the coda of the syllable breaks off and forms a new syllable with ë as its nucleus, for example: sempa (blade of grass, ergative) -> sēmëpa (blade of grass, absolutive).

2nd Declension - Stressed Non-final Long Vowel
This is the declension pattern when a long vowel is stressed but not at the end of a word. The vowel and sometimes the following consonant changes. (Gm means geminate the next consonant)

3rd Declension - Stressed Final Long Vowel
This is the declension pattern when a long vowel is stressed band is at the end of a word. The vowel changes.

4th Declension - Stressed Short Diphthong
This is the declension pattern when a short diphthong is stressed.

5th Declension - Stressed Long Diphthong
This is the declension pattern when a long diphthong is stressed.

Verbs
Possibly the second most complicated part of this language.

Semi-regular verbs
If the root verb ends in a, the present tense suffixes have an a added in front and the past tense suffixes have their ar replaced with ll.

If the root verb ends in m or ny, it changes to an n in the last three tenses.

If the root verb ends in p, it changes to an f in the last three tenses.

If the root verb ends in k, it changes to an sy in the last three tenses.

Worldbuilding
this is the first time i ever tried something like this

The Centrine Islands (native name: Sedzravani) are a group of islands located in the Mediterranean sea, 200 nautical miles off the coast of Italy. c. 800 BCE, the Phoenicians arrived on the islands and colonized them. As they brought to them items the Centrines have never seen before, the words for those were loaned into Centrine. After Alexander the Great conquered Phoenicia, the Carthaginians arrived on the islands, and they are now Carthaginian colonies. c. 300 BCE, the Romans tried to invade, but failed due to strong Carthaginian defense.

The Centrine language (native name: Cortavani) is a language (isolate?) descended from Proto-Centrine.
