Shilahite

Shilahite (Shīlahīyat; Square Script:'' שילהית) is a comstructed language.

Vowels
Only vowels with mater lectionis (י, ו)  are notated Square Script, but all vowels are written in Latin notation. Long vowels, ā ī ū, are simply longer in duration than their short counterparts, a i u. Here the alif is used as a null consonant.

Alphabet
The consonants ע ח ק ט ס צ are emphatic consonants.

Registers
The Shilahite language consists of a spectrum of registers, with High Shilahite (HS) ('alīyêh; עליה) as the higher tier and Shilahite Vulgate (SV) (melwefīyat; מלופית) as the basolect. High Shilahite is used in formal contexts, such as in the media and while giving speeches - while Shilahite Vulgate is employed in other contexts. For example, the HS term for a wife is b'alt בעלת "lady" rather than the SV zawgat זוגת "spouse" (lit. pair). The following are the recognised dialects by RCSL:
 * Royal Shilahite. Used during communication with the King. Quadrilateral roots are more common, such as behechel בהצל in place of akel אכל (eat), and pronouns are based on the word shaq שק i.e. shaqayi שקי (me).
 * Mesolect Register. The lower form of High Shilahite, it uses the specialized HS vocabulary without quadrilateral roots and special pronouns present in the Royal register.
 * Standard Speech. Used for day to day communication, Standard Speech is based on accurate pronunciation of the emphatic consonants and intonation.
 * Dialect. Intonation is not present and emphatic consonants are not pronounced.

Nouns
Nouns decline in four forms: For the absolute case, the ending u is used when it is being described by an attribute. Therefore, "the holy man", אניש קדושו, is anyeshu qudūsawa, not anyesh qudūsawa .
 * Absolute. The base form of a noun. anyesh אניש, man.
 * Construct. The form of a noun illustrating belonging. anyesh-i-Sadqi אניש-צדק, man of righteousness.
 * Emphatic. The definite form of a noun. anyeshawa אנישו, the man
 * Vocative. The address form of a noun. yā anyeshā! יא אנישא, O man!

Definite article
Definiteness in Shilahite is marked by the "wêh" suffix "(wêh sawfī; וה סופי)" and th particle "yā". Thee suffix "wah" is attached to the end of a noun to mark definiteness in general, while "yā" performs a variety of functions: yā is used as a definite marker only when weh is a suffix at the end of a phrase. The weh suffix is gender declinable, which distinguishes Shilahite from other Semitic languages. The following is the declension for the word zaug ' ז'וג, "spouse".''
 * Marks uniqueness: yā Ilêhwa יא אלהו (the) God
 * Definiteness of a construct noun: yā taurat i Dawlatū יא תורת דולתו the taurat of the State
 * A particle for address: yā Alāhā אלהא יא O God!

The word Alêh אלה, "God" is an irregular noun which declines as such: Alāhu (Alêh) אלה, Alāhā אלהא, Ilêhwa אלהו, Ilêhi אלה.
