Tangua

Classification and Dialects
Tangua, or "Tongue" in English, is a conlang that reconstructs the hypothetical Gallic that was spoken in the north of Catalonia in ancient times.

It is, therefore, the southernmost dialect of the language of the Gauls, and would have been brought there by the Catalaunic tribe, who would have given the name to the whole country, Catalonia.

It is therefore a Gallic dialect with its own characteristics.

Consonants
The consonant system is inherited from the Gallic language, but, due to its isolation from the rest of the Gallic languages in the Late Roman period, it has evolved in its own way and often converges with Catalan, which has exerted its influence as a adstrate.

Unlike the other Celtic languages that have survived, our language does not have such an evolved system of lenition as Welsh or Irish. It is limited to the softening of voiced intervocalic voiced consonants, the voicing of voiceless consonants or the dropping of intervocalic /s/.

Unlike the former, the phenomenon has no morphophonological effects and is limited to a simple phonetic evolution along the lines of Romance languages.

Nouns
The noun has only two inflections, gender (masculine and feminine) and number (singular and plural).

Despite oversimplifying the morphology of the language, it can be said that masculine nouns, which usually end in a consonant, -u, -e or -i, have the plural -u, -iu or -es, depending on the old declension to which the word belongs. On the other hand, feminine words ending in -a or in a consonant have the plurals -e or -es.
