Nativian

Writing System
Nativian writing system is splitted in two modes :
 * Phonographic - Uses 30 phonograms and is used to hand-writing, formal letters, poetry, official documents, and importants headlines
 * Ideographic - Uses a large table of characters and is used in articles, newsletters, advertising, technicals books, trading, science,  displays of computers, etc... We use phonograms for words that have no ideogram, like surnames, names of cities, countries... Ideograms are intended to be quickly read and unwritten.

Phonograms
Diacrtitics are placed on vowels and change their quantity. As in Chinese, they can distinguish between allophones words, such as Μάρ [Ma¹r]  "the sea", and Μαρ [Mar] literally "feminine pronoun of the first person causative"

Nouns
Nouns are classed by genders possibilities :
 * Changing or Common nouns (c.n.) : they are in the form of a root which requires flexion about its gender : ε[e] for masculine, α[a] for feminine, and αε[ae] for neuter. Animals and sexed animated in general


 * Fixed nouns, which can not change their gender


 * Natural nouns (nl.n.) : inanimates objects and concepts. Many of theses names are also used as verbal roots.
 * Masculines nouns (m.n.) : male family members

Verbs
Conjugation of verbs follow a agglutination principle. Knowing this table return to know all the nativian conjugation :

Here is the integer nativian conjugation table

The verb takes the gender, the person and the number of the nominative.

ςῡμ [su:m] "to be", is the only verb not having a root. It is only composed of its ending.

To conjugate others verbs, ͱαβερῡμ [haberu:m] "to have" for example, we have just to delete the termination -ῡμ [u:m], infinitive brand for all verbs, to extract its root :  ͱαβερ- [haber] " have", and add ςῡμ [su:m] at the desired conjugation.

Thanks this conjugation system, a verb can take 480 differents forms, not including any prefixes, learning about aspect, negation, etc...

Personal Pro​nouns
We can make 600 forms of pronoun. Nominatives forms are used as possessives pronouns.

Correlative Pronouns
Here is a list of common correlatives

Syntax
In a nativian sentence, only noums are capitalized. If a word is composed of two noums, each noumw are capitalized :

Words are separated by the mid-point (·), propositions by the comma (˛), and sentences by the low-point (.).

We can consider the mid-point is the 31th nativian phonogram, because it can be pronunced as a gottal stop [Ɂ], especally if the second word start with a vowel :

Thanks to the declensions system, this of voices is superfluous. Indeed, the function of a word is not determined by its place in the sentence, but by its sharp. The word order does not change the meaning but the connotation of the sentense. It is thus possible free to focus on the words we choose :

We fair giving any order to our sentence, but in an absolute general case, SOV is the default word order in normal sentenses, VSO in closed-questions. It is recommanded however not to order too chaotic and keep a logical sense in order to not sow his interlocutor.
