Slettala

Consonants
Like in Icelandic, geminated stops (P, T, K) are pregeminated, therefore, ‹pp›, ‹tt›, and ‹kk› is pronounced ‹hp›, ‹ht›, and ‹hk›, respectively.

Umlauts
In Slettala, certain vowels trigger umlauts within eachother. A common example is the U-Umlaut, when an a becomes a ö because the next syllable contains a u. This particular umlaut does not hold tru in Slettala, but most umlauts in Slettala follow this same particular rule. Other umlauts:
 * o + ó = ú, example: hós in the accusative, which adds +o for that special class, becomes húso.
 * ú + u = i, example: máðúr in the genitive, which adds +u for that special class, becomes máðiru.
 * ú + e = i, example: hœndur in the accusative, which adds +e for that special class, becomes hœndire.
 * ú + ó = e, example: máðúr in the dative, which adds +ó for that special class, becomes máðeró.
 * u + u = Ø, example: hœndur in the genitive, which adds +u for that special class, becomes hœndru.
 * æ + e = í
 * í + i = a
 * í + o = jú

Nouns
Nouns in Slettala decline to four cases: the nominative, accusative, genitive, and dative. They have two main classes, common and neuter gender, along with several subclasses under them, the most notable being the common gender and its system of classing by number of syllables in the nominative. Masculine and Feminine genders, along with Neuter genders, are barely seen in traces anymore, even with pronouns (hett, the common third person pronoun, can mean he or she, though the distinction is ususally made with special gender declensions, traces of gender, which are unique to personal pronouns).

Common Gender
Nouns in the common gender are the most abundant, as nouns that were in the masculine and feminine genders collapsed into a single common gender. Common genders, by coincidence, have the easiest set of noun classification, with only a few criteria: final syllables, and number of syllables. Essentially, however, declensions recycle eachother out, therefore nouns with three syllables share the same declensions with nouns that have six syllables. There is no exact way of determining nouns in the common gender, though most tend to not have a specific ending, as opposed to neuter nouns, which all end in either -a, -e, -ur, -œl, and -ærr.

First class
The first class of nouns are nouns that end in consonants, and contain only one syllable in the nominative form. Because of typical vowel changing, most nouns will go through umlaught whilst going through declension.

Second class
The second class of nouns are nouns that, like the first class, end in consonants. These nouns, however, range from nouns with two syllables to four syllables in the nominative form.
