Andusoan

Setting
Morlagoan is one of the official languages of the United Islands of Morlago (Las Islas Unitàs de Mòrlago). It is a Romance language that shares some characteristics with Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian, but in some aspects it retains more features of Latin.

Vowels
Like Spanish, Morlagoan has reduced to only five vowels: a, e, i, o, u.

The five vowels are divided into strong vowels (a, e, o) and weak vowels (i, u). Diphthongs are formed when a strong vowel is followed by a weak vowel (e.g. ai, eu, oi) or the reverse; i.e. (e.g. ia, ue) are not considered diphthongs and are pronounced with a hiatus. When they are desired to be pronounced as diphthongs, an acute accent is added to the first vowel (e.g. agúa - water ['agwa] and fúeron - they were ['fweron], but geografia - geography [ʤeogɾa'fi.a] and policia - police [poli'ʃi.a)

Nouns, Adjectives and Articles
All nouns are assigned into one of the two genders in Morlagoan: masculine or feminine. While in some situations it is predictable, such as a bull being masculine and a cow being feminine, this is generally an unpredictable process and the gender of each noun must be learnt. A rule of thumb is that nouns ending in -o are usually masculine and those ending in -a are feminine, like in Spanish and Italian. Nouns are made plural by the followingAdjectives decline according to the number and gender of the noun that it compliments.
