Rules
Vowels a /æ/, e /ʊ/, o /o/, i /ɪ/ cannot be doubled. Exceptions are the vowelsˌ y /aj/, eh /ɛ/, ei /i/, ah /a/, and ay /eɪ/-if these vowels are togetherˌ a ˈ /ʔ/ must be added. Exception is y /aj/, which when doubled would make the sound /j/ as in yacht. So yy is /j/.

Although nouns and adjective have no gender, in certain cases gender can be grown. Every letter is assigned a gender, either masculine or femine. Gender, if assigned, is definted by the last letter of the word. *Note that the letter C /k/ is not here because C only shows as a C in the beginning of a word. This only rule matters in script, not for pronounciation, etc. The double y /j/ is only there because words can end in /j/

Phonotactics
Includes Stress, Tone, Syllables & Consonant Rules'

Stress
in Tyrehzzehn is critical for learning how to pronounce words right. However, different stress DOES NOT change the meaning of a word. It would just make up a word that means nothing.

>A general rule is if a word as two syllables and ends with a vowel, the stress is placed at the beginning of the word. Like the word for tunnel - raybah is [ˈreɪ ba] not [reɪ ˈba]

>If a word is two syllables and ends with ONE consonant, the stress is placed at the beginning the word. Like the word for after - gahrehn is ['ɡar ɛn] not [ɡar 'ɛn]. Now if the word is two syllables and ends in a double consonant, the the stress is in the middle (usually containing or is at the second vowel. Like the word for century - zahreinn is [zar 'in] not ['zar in]. Notice that /ar/ is always together in one syllable.

>The letter /r/ is attached to the vowel is come after. Like the word cahrrah (thinking) - ['kar: a] not [ka 'r:a], notice that the stress changed to the second syllable, which is wrong.

>If word is two syllables and ends in the long /a:/ sound then the stress is placed at the second syllable. Like the word for doubt (noun) - nisahh is [nɪs ˈaː] not [ˈnis aː]. Note that it is [nɪs ˈaː] not [ni ˈsaː] The /s/ is not part the stress.

>If a word is three syllables then the stress is placed at the second syllbable (this will usually contain the second vowel of the word). Like the word meaniɡnɡ forget it - gehsahrkkah is [ɡɛ ˈsarkː a] not [ˈɡɛ sarkː a]. The stress would still be the same but a secondary stress would be at the third syllable - [ɡɛ ˈsarkː ˌa:] (this word is meaninɡless by the way

>If a word is four or more syllables then the stress is most often placed at the second to last syllable. For example, the slang or poetic version of the verb to fall - kayrahkahrahh is [keɪr ak ˈar aː].

Tone
Tone is also very important in the Tyrehzzehn language.

The Pronouns
Below is a chart of the 10 pronouns in Tyrehzzehn along with their other forms.


 * In Tyrehzzehn, there is no pronoun for you pl. Instead we use the 2nd person singular feminine formal form. This pronoun is used, for example, in instructions, indirect commands, signsm etc. Anything where the 2nd person is not specificed. In Tyrehzzehn, other words are used around this form in order to make it plural.

>Notice that when you familiar, masc and fem is used as an object, it is capitolized.

Colors
In Tyrehzzehn, colors give nouns gender when they are used in nouns clauses (no verb-to be). For example, I have a red flower, and the red flower is here are examples of noun clauses. There are verbs in these sentences but it is not the flower is red. In that case, red is acting as a normal adjective. An exception to this would be there is a red flower. Red is describing the flower and therefore gender is gained

 Below is a chart with the colors

So each color has a gender, for example, jehleiss [dʒɛl'isː] is feminine. (Refer to the alphabet section with list of masc/fem letters). Let's take the word for (the) flower -(Eh) Korrahnah - [ɛ] [kor:'ana].

To say the red flower, is simply Eh korrahnah jehleiss - [ɛ] [korːˈana] [dʒɛlˈisː]. Since both words are feminine, no change is needed.

If he had the white flower then the color must match the noun in gender.

White is masculine so it would be Eh korrahnah lahrverrah - [ɛ] [korːˈana] [larˈvʊrːa]. While it looks like [larˈvʊr] just added /a/ to make it feminine, this is not the rule.

Let's use another feminine noun, the salamander - Eh Xumayschnehkk - [ɛ] [ɛks u ˈmeɪ ʃnɛkː] This is a fem verb because it ends in /k:/. For a masc color to agree with it, it would look like this: The salamander white - Eh Xumayschnehkk lahrverrehkk - [ɛ] [ɛks u ˈmeɪ ʃnɛkː] ['larˈvʊr:ɛkː]. 'The general rule is to take the ending of the word and add it to the color. In this case we took the vowel /ɛ/ followed by the double /k/. This would be true if a word ended in ANY vowel followed by a double feminine consonant.

This same rule applies for the opposite gender. If we mixed a masuline noun, Eh Ahrsehknun - [ɛ] [ar ˈsɛk nun] which is the spider, with a fem color like jehleiss - [dʒɛl ˈisː] we would get, The spider red - '''Eh ahrsehknun jehleissun - [ɛ] [ar ˈsɛk nun] [dʒɛl 'isːun]. '''

If a masc noun is with a masc color, then the color does not change. Note that I only wrote the sentences above using the def article witht the noun. If there was a indef article then nothing would change. korrahnah'ah lahrverrah - [ɛ] [korːˈa na ʔa] [larˈvʊrːa] - A white flower

Now when colors are used in sentences like, the flower is white or the spider is green, then there is no gender agreement.
