Brasvedian

Brasvedian, known natively as Βρασυήδις or more fully τη Βρασυήδιςι κάχυινγη is a conlang whose grammar resembles a severe earthquake more than anything else. It is mainly inspired by Ancient Greek, Swedish, Brabantic and Burenian.

Consonants
/h/ only occurs before vowels and is indicated with a spiritus asper on the following vowel: ἁ. Unlike in Ancient Greek, word-initial vowels not preceded by /h/ are unmarked.

/ŋ/ is represented by ν before /k/ and by νγ otherwise.

/v/ is represented by βφ where confusion with /y/ is possible and by υ otherwise.

Double consonants occur in written Brasvedian but not in the spoken form.

The clusters /ks/ and /ps/ are written ξ and ψ respectively.

Vowels
The long vowels /aː iː yː/ are written as single letters when they have the falling tone and as digraphs otherwise.

In addition, there are the diphthongs /aɪ̯ aːɪ̯ ɛɪ̯ ɛːɪ̯ ɔɪ̯ ɔːɪ̯/ which are written αι ᾳ ει ῃ οι ῳ.

Tone
Stressed short vowels distinguish two tones: high and low. In writing they are indicated with acute and grave accents respectively. Long vowels can also take a falling tone, which is indicated by a circumflex accent. Tone does not apply to unstressed syllables.

Nouns
Nouns have two genders (common and neuter), two numbers (singular and plural) and four cases (nominative, genitive, dative and accusative).

Verbs
Verbs are conjugated for tense, aspect, person, number, gender, mood, voice and the place of the subject. There are three classes of regular verbs, which are traditionally named after colours. Thus there are "blue", "yellow" and "red" conjugations.
