Mwyltydd

['muɪ̯l.ti:ð]

Millic (natively Mwyltydd) is a Garro-Milleo language spoken by the Mills (Mwyldàs ['muɪ̯l.da) on the four mountain islands of Y Llatmwyl Hul on the planet Mycae (which for all intents and purposes is nearly identical to medieval Earth, apart from the geography and cultures thereof-and-upon.) Also, by some strange coincidence, the Mills use an orthography that varies almost insignificantly from that of modern Welsh. This has led some suprademensional beings to question the seemingly spontaneous and random nature of the universe, however, the mind of man does not find itself concerned with such thoughts. Millic is an heavily inflected fusional language with a stupid amount of unique endings for each thing you might be inflect for (the 1st person singular passive present progressive of a verb with a 3rd person plural direct object and a 2nd person singular indirect object gets its own, "simple" ending), though it also has some analytical and agglutinative qualities. Nouns can stand alone, although, being as some mysterious grammatical monster came by and broke all of the nouns' kneecaps, it is uncommon to see one without crutches or a wheelchair.

After the unfortunate and unforseeable destruction of Llatgar ýl (the former fifth island in the group), and due to the Millic superstition that the the open sea is evil (or at least whatever might lay in wait thereacross), the Mills found themselves alone in the world. Strict population control has been inforced for on the island-states for hundreds of years. So much so that the population actually decreased by 30% over the last century, but at now has been stabilized with a wopping growth factor of 0%. Freaky as it may seem, this was not the work of a nefarious governing body, but instead the choice of the people, content with their humble lives on their four wittle iswands. Similar to their control of the population is the Mills control over the uniformity and nonevolution of their language. They like it how it is and make sure it don't never changes, not one bit. As such, there are no branching dialects.

Phonology
Despite this language using Welsh-like orthography (in the Latin alphabet, no less), the phonology hereof is significantly divulgent from it's Earthen look-alike, oh yes indeed.

Consonants
Notes:
 * All plosives and affricates are slighty aspirated.
 * [x,  ɣ] are allophones of / ç, ʝ/ respectively after back vowels and /a, a:/
 * [ ɾ] is is an allophone of /r/ intervocalicaly.
 * [ ʁ] is sometimes unvoiced to [χ], depending on situational occurance and on the speaker's preference. This may result in inflectional confusion if adequate context in absent.

Phonotactics
To be determined....

Orthography
The spelling of Mwyltydd is very similar to that of Welsh with some slight- but important- differences along with several 'additions' thereto. One should note that the Diagraph "Qj,qj" unpredictably represents either [ ʝ] or [ ʒ]; a borrowed usage from the snake-language of the Dophins; a language which has, on Earth, never been able to be translated, despite millions of years of cohabitation. One might also notice somewhat a dearth in diacritical marks (other than the há ček), instead favoring diagraphical literation; this decision was made in large part due to the universal, subconsious acceptance that I'm too lazy to use them often.

Vowels
Those who like diacritics shall be pleased to see them used upon Millic vowels excessively.

Diphthongs
Being as most diphthongs are most commonly represented by a single character with a diacritical mark, there are different diacritics used to show a stressed vowel of the same sound. When two vowels occur diagraphicaly or adjacent to one another, they can optionaly be pronounced in hiatus or as a diphtong, excluding the diagraphs {wy,  ẃy, yw,  ýw}. However, if the second vowel in such an occuring set is stressed (as marked by an acute accent), the two vowels must be pronounced seperately. Similarly, a long vowel preceding or following another vowel is always pronounced in hiatus (V:.V, V.V:).

Concerns
If anybody has a problem with any of the above orthography or any thoughts on how to make it better, they are welcome to burn in Hell :D
