Exgot

Introduction
This language is a language that had evolved from its ancenstor language Natraden. The name derived from the Natraden word for Mode: Ëxgurz. This has lead to become the name of the language as well as the word for Language in itself. However, the language can and is still referred to as (Exgotian) Natraden in other languages. Exgot is a name only used to differenciate between the two languages. As Natraden evolved, the word order quickly changed to SVO. Verbs and adjectives began to inflect more and the genders were deemed unnecessary. All articles excluding the definite article were deemed unnecessary and the definite article became a noun declension.

Phonetics
Below are the possible sounds and their corresponding letters

Alphabet
Each letter and few digraphs have their own distinct sound. This may differed whether they are word-initial or final. Below is the table for all the letters alongside a few digraphs according to the IPA. Everything below is in the alphabet excluding the ß, digraphs and stressed vowels. Everything in brackets are optional.

Phonetic Rules

 * When R proceeds an unaccented or stressed vowel, it makes the sound /w/ unless it proceeds U/Ù where in which case makes the sound /ɒ/
 * This doesn't apply to Y/Ỳ
 * This doesn't apply across different words in a compound word
 * This doesn't apply after double vowels:
 * AAR makes the sound /a:ɾ/
 * Double letters make a lengthened sound
 * This doesn't apply to GG
 * Two stressed vowels cannot occur in one word, let alone next to each other
 * This can happen in compound words however
 * Two already elongated letters cannot proceed one another
 * Preferably ẞ
 * Ŋ can become /ɑ̃/ when used in the following formations:
 * Vowel Consonant Nothing
 * VŋC
 * ​This actually makes the vowel before it nasal as opposed to /a/.
 * CŋN
 * CŋC
 * An voiced sound followed by its unvoiced counterpart, the unvoiced sound is used
 * This doesn't apply across different words in a compound word
 * This can apply to non-counterparts
 * B makes the sound /p/ when preceding the letter T.
 * Although they aren't counterparts, they are both plosive consonants
 * The difference between Ä and ÄÄ is that in the single letter, the elongation is optional.
 * E does not make the /ə/ but the /ɛ/ at the end of a word if a vowel directly precedes it.
 * If any of these vowels preceding E make a different sound:
 * I /j/
 * O /w/
 * U /w/
 * Likewise, the e in eo is pronounced /j/
 * The silent V may seem useless but it serves a vital role when pronouncing the /s/
 * The letter S can only be proceeded with a consonant unless it ends a word. The V is counted as a consonant.

Word Order
This has remained fairly intact in evolution, There is a noticeable change from SOV to SVO. The word order is flexible however. It can change easily by the use of case declension but must still be similar to the above order. This means you cannot write:
 * 1) Subject
 * 2) (Auxiliary) Verb
 * 3) Object
 * 4) Indirect Object
 * 5) Other Information
 * 6) Preposition
 * 7) Prepositional Object
 * 8) Seperable Part of a Seperable Verb
 * 9) Participle
 * 10) Infinitive [when auxiliary verb is used]

Ivò höl et Restauranteoga

[Pronoun-Verb-Preposition-Object]

as:

Et höl Restauranteoga Ivò

[Preposition-Verb-Object-Subject]

as that wouldn't be understood. There are rules to flexibility: So you can rewrite the sentence above:
 * The subject, verb and both indirect and direct objects must stay together and either be the first or second group in a sentence.
 * So you can't have prepositions and other information before the subject, verb etc.
 * All other information must stay together
 * Prepositions and objects proceeding must stay together
 * Participles, seperable parts of seperable verbs and infinitives replaced by auxiliary verbs must stay in the same order and at the end
 * Subject comes after the verb when anything other than the subject preceds the verb

Verb Conjugation
During evolution, the language developed the use of person and number in conjugation. This was for the purpose that in rapid speech, the pronoun could be omitted (and now it mostly is). All verbs end in en and only one of them is irregular. The continuous aspect uses the same conjugation as the simple aspect and the subjunctive mood uses the same conjugation as the indicative. The perfect aspect uses the auxiliary verb to have: helben. The structural and auxiliary forms of to be and to have were removed and used the same verb for both. Below is the conjugation of the verb to be; the only irregular verb.

To Be
[+1]  Normal Conjugation is underlined

Regular Verbs
Regular verbs are all the verbs except to be. They are conjugated as follows:

To Have [+1]  Normal Conjugation is underlined

Future Tense
This tense is specified with the verb fjoten (to will) along with a conjugated participle. People can say it is a future participle but this is a thought for a name as this conjugation does not have one.

Negative Verbs
To make a verb negative, you add the prefix Nää(')-.

Ivé näähelbé äs

I don't have it

Uva nääbehelben äs?

Don't you have it?

Passive Verbs
This is done by the use of the verb to get, exeden as an auxiliary verb used with the past participle.

Äs exeda geljaadet

It is loaded or more literally It gets loaded.

Aspects
As stated before, the continuous is merged with the simple aspect and the perfect tense uses the auxiliary verb helben. However, for emphasis that the aspect is continuous, one can use the verb  älw en followed by the past participle.

Seperable Verbs and Verbs with Prefixes
The seperable part of seperable verbs, when conjugated, is the third last part in the word order. This means that the seperable part has to go an the end of a phrase before participles. Verbs with prefixes conjugated normal then the prefix is added. For example:

R-ljaaden

To reload

Ivò r-ljaadé

I reload

Äs exed r-geljaadet

It is reloaded

Personal Pronouns
A quick note, if you don't know the gender and you are speaking in third person, you use the word for it. In English, this may be offensive but in Exgot (like Natraden) it is quite normal. [+1] Everything in this row is treated as an infinitive adjective

[+2] The above doesn't apply to the 0th person.

Definiteness & Pluralisation
Definiteness is defined with a suffix and is tied in with the pluralisation. The indefinite suffix does not exist but can be specific if you specify the quantity as one.

Case Marking
Nouns decline according to case via a suffix. The cases are: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genetive, Locative and Vocative. [+1] Definite nouns declining to case whilst definite keep their e when using odem and oga.

Mànntodem - no e

Atwent e odem - e underlined

Atwentodem - this means adventure as opposed to the adventure The genetive case is stringed when there are more than two nouns:

Manntets Fŋmme

The man's wife

Manntetsfŋmmespfeŋcii

The man's wife's answer

Fact: Family Names (or surnames) always end in oga (LOC declension). The locative is used because there is an imaginary of between names. Here's mine:

Dańel (fvå) Färnàndecioga

Prepositions
Prepositions can appear in the dative, genetive and locative.

Adjectives
Adjectives decline to case and number. All adjectives come before the noun, are regular and their infinitive forms always end in e.

Below is the declension of the word Exgotian: Exgùrce.

Example Phrase
Exgùrc es Wženntodem

The Exgotian-Natraden language

Ivò wžennie exgùrc är Wženntodem

I speak the exgotian-natraden language

Comparative and Superlative
To create these adjectives, you take the infinitive and add the suffixes ere and este respectively.

güle - green

gülere - greener

güleste - greenest

Adjectival Verbs
To create adjectival verbs, you take the infinitive, change the en to ën and add a suffix:

sploozen - to burst

splooz ë n de  - bursting

splooz ë n ne  - bursted

"Articles"
Articles don't properly exist in Exgot but more rather exist in different parts of speech. Here are a list of "articles":
 * ett [Number]
 * Means a or an
 * Literally means one
 * The "article doesn't have to be used
 * Mànna and ett Mànna both mean the same thing
 * The only difference is that ett Mànna is specific that there's  one
 * älwënde [Adjective]
 * Means some
 * Literally means being
 * nää'älwënde [Adjective]
 * Means no
 * As in no cars
 * Literally means not being
 * Nicknamed Diers Wšëste
 * Diaeresis Galore
 * žèllënne [Adjective]
 * Means this or that (never specific)
 * Literally means specifying
 * Pfäanne [Noun]
 * Means all or every
 * Literally means all
 * Used with genetive and plural
 * Pfäannes Mànnie

Numerical System
Numerics are in base 10.

Marking
Marking stayed the same. The dot is used to group digits and the Flek (`) as the decimal point and ordinal numbers are marked with their adjectival endings.

Äré wa za 10e

He was the tenth

10es Fŋmmtet

The tenth woman
