Morlagoan

Setting
Morlagoan is one of the four official languages of the United Islands of Morlago. It is an a priori conlang, with influences from Chinese, English and Spanish in its lexicon.

Consonants
Note:


 * ʃ ʒ may be palatalized to ɕ ʑ before front vowels, especially before i and u


 * n becomes ŋ before k g


 * some dialects contrast ɾ (tap) with r (trill)
 * word-initial voiceless plosives are aspirated

Vowels
The exact pronunciation of the mid vowels can vary from close-mid to open-mid. For most speakers, they change according to the phonological context of the vowel as this variety does not constitute ambiguity or confusion with the other vowels.

Pronunciation and Orthography
Morlagoan uses the Latin alphabet, with the addition of three digraphs ch, ny and jh.

Nouns
Morlagoan nouns decline according to case, number and definiteness, but not gender. There are four cases in Morlagoan: nominative, accusative, dative and genitive. Two other cases, instrumental and locative, existed in Old Morlagoan, and their remnants can be found in some idiomatic expressions today.
