Lakavezik

=Orthography=

Alphabet
The alphabet consists of 40 letters, although x and w are used only in foreign place names (e.g. Wallis stlə Fortuna - Wallis and Fortuna) and international neologisms (e.g. watt).

The digraphs dl and tl are classed as individual letters in their own right. They are placed after d and t respectively in alphabetical order.

Lakavezik spelling is very phonemic, meaning that the letters rarely stray from the phonemes they are intended to represent.

Double Letters
Double letters do not effect the pronounciation of the word. So for example lut is pronounced identically to latt. Consonant length in Lakavezik is not phonemic.

=Nouns=

Cases
Nouns in Lakavezik come in several different cases, with each case represented with a different suffix added to the end of the noun.
