Drunal

Drunal is the third language of the Netherbelgs, preceded by Sveg in the north. This language is spoken by the western region.

Phonology
The Drunal phonology is based off the Dutch phonology; as Drunal is the Natrodian equivalent to Dutch.

Phonetic Rules
The following applies to rootwords:
 * Primary stress is usually placed on the first syllable unless the first syllable is not part of the root word (i.e. conjugations like ge- to make participles and prefixes), in which case the following syllable receives the stress.
 * Secondary stress is usually placed on the first syllable of the second word of a compound word. Root words cannot have both types of stress.
 * E is pronounced /ə/ at the end of a word.
 * This is also true in Es in syllables proceeding stressed ones.
 * ER is pronounced /ɐɹ/ in the word-final position.
 * EN is pronounced /t͡ʔn/ in the word-final position.
 * A, E and O are automatically pronounced as a double vowel (AA, EE and OO respectively) in the primary stressed syllable unless a double consonant (tt, kk etc.) or a consonant digraph like ch proceeds it.
 * Doesn't apply to single syllable words.
 * A vowel with a diaeresis signifies it is part of another syllable and separates it from digraphs.
 * These are Ë, Ï and Ü
 * ​Ö isn't as popular and is usually used in bounderies of compound words and past participles as the digraph OO isn't normally separated.
 * É forces primary stress, so it is usually placed in the second syllable and functions like a normal E:
 * Oke means oak and is pronounced /ˈo:kə/
 * Oké means okay and is pronounced /ɔˈke:/
 * Ó functions similarly
 * Words beginning with a vowel are preceded with a glottal stop if necessary.
 * A word-final G isn't pronounced if the next word begins with G
 * The G becomes geminated.
 * Jeg gaat /jɛ.ɣ:a:t/ I go

Word Order
The word order is taken from the language's sister language Exgot: Subject-Object inversion can occur and the verb comes at the end of subordinate clauses.
 * 1) Subject
 * 2) (Auxiliary) Verb
 * 3) Dative Object
 * 4) (Negation Particle)
 * 5) Adverb
 * 6) Object
 * 7) Preposition
 * 8) Locative Object
 * 9) Other Information
 * 10) Seperable part of a seperable verb
 * 11) Past Participle
 * 12) Infinitive [If auxiliary verb is used]

Verb Conjugation
Verb infinitives must always end in n but verbs that don't end in en are irregular.

Negation
To negate a verb, the particle "nee" (/ne:/) is added after the verb and indirect object. The Netherbelgen see this word as a particle though and don't think of the word as a word with meaning.

Jeg en nee!

I am not!

Imperative Mood
The imperative mood applies across all persons. 1st person singular in the imperative mood is usually used in thoughts. 1st person plural translates to "Let's..."

The second and third persons are more popular in this mood. Third person is normally used when the topic is another person.

Passive Voice
The passive voice is formed with the auxiliary verb to will/become and the past participle.

'''Oet weert  geëttsjet. '''

'' It is done. ''
