Kháubaḍų

General Information
I'm getting more experimental with this one. I want to make a language heavily based in connotation and word specificity. Certain declensions/conjugations would be determined by internal vowel changes inspired by Semitic languages and related, but similar, forms for different moods (as Slavic languages do for aspects).

Allophony
In unstressed syllables, the standard /a, a:, ã, ã:/ become /ɐ, ʌ:, ɐ̃, ʌ̃:/ or /ə, ʌ:, ə̃, ɐ̃:/ in respective open and closed syllables.

Writing System
Kháubaḍu is written with devanagari (which functions as a kind of hiragana/katakana to the hanzi) and traditional hanzi characters. There is also an official romanization with and without diacritics.

Abugida Each consonant symbol is assumed to have the vowel /a/ as its base. As a place-holder consonant, ह, ha, will be used. The list will have the order: 1, devanagari full vowel, 2, devanagari diacritic, and 3, romanization (consonant will just have 2 and 3, re-labled as 1 and 2).

Characters

As Japanese does with hiragana and kanji, Kháudaḍų uses traditional hanzi characters to represent full words.

Alignment and Delcension
Nouns are slimly declined. Appellative I is when a noun has no relation to the verb and is simply being pointed out (although, this could be interpreted as the agent to a copula).
 * Appellative I: -ų
 * Transitive
 * Agent: -∅ (voiced consonants are unvoiced)
 * Patient: -az
 * Intransitive
 * Appellative II: -ųḷ
 * Nominative: -aḷṭuk

Agent and Patient in transitive verbs lables which noun is which as, being a fluid-S language, either noun could be the subject depending on tone and position in the sentence.

Intransitive verbs get more complicated. As intransitive clauses without a labled subject insinuate that anyone could have done the action or the action was accidental, Appellative II lables a noun in an intransitive clause that is related in some way to the action taking place but insinuates that the noun was not involved or did not cause the action taking place (the latter can also be a person). The Nominative is the subject and agent of the intransitive verb, insinuating intent of doing the verb and being the subject of it; conversely with Appellative II, the Nominative can also insinuate causative.

Plurality
From here, nouns are divided into three classes: Adjective-based nouns are those which have no plural form and require certain adjectives to express plurality.
 * 1) Adjective-based
 * 2) Form-based
 * 3) Alternate

Form-based nouns are those which change form depending on plurality, usually because their plural form can mean something different but are still recognizably similar.

Alternate nouns are those which have different stems for singular and plural forms. These are nouns which are understood as completely different from their singular counterparts. An example which is the same in English is the difference between I and We where I is considared a different word completely from We, although the latter is simply the plural of the former.
