Sdrafyaot

Sdrafyaot (IPA: ˈsdrafyɔt), known in English as Stravian or officially Neostravian, is a partially constructed language of heavy North Germanic influence that is the leading of the three national language of the Kingdom of Stravia. The language was constructed originally in 1314 by the Acstuvaci Rebellion leaders Ólafar Gudrunsson, Þorin Erosvard, Vilhjálm Helnkenge and other associates in response to the Paleostravian language being illegalized by the Christian missionaries in the 13th century and following the First Stravian Rising. The language has since evolved to become the Stravian language as it is known today.

Classification
Stravian is an a posteriori Indo-European language and part of the Nordic Germanic group, as it is an evolved form of the West Norse Language. Stravian shows influence from Paleostravian, Icelandic and Old West Norse.

Consonants
The Stravian language has a some significant dialectal difference in phonology, found mostly due to the North/South divide of the Stravian nation, with the southern dialects influenced greater by Icelandic. The language contains monophthongs and diphthongs, which are represented by mono- and digraphs. Only monographs are considered distinct letters in the Stravian alphabet. The language is mostly orthographically phonemic.

The phonemes [h] / [ɦ] are allophones. The sounds [z], [ʒ] and [ʑ] only appear when their voiceless counterparts are in voiced clusters and affricates.

Vowels
The phonemes [a] / [ɑ] are dialectal allophones when spoken, with the latter being found in more northern areas of Stravia, although in technicality, the phoneme [ɑ] occurs only when the letter a is followed by l or r.

Orthography & Alphabet
Stress is mostly uniform, but the first syllable of a multi-syllabic word will have greater stress, except if ’ is used to denote irregular stress fall. The ’ is also used to separate compound words in which letters could mistakenly form di-/triphthongs.

Letters are not doubled except when in jj ,compound and borrowed words.

Copulae
Sdrafyaot has only one copula edh (to be) that comes in 7 forms dependant on aspect and tense.

Itś édh - I am

Ech édh - You are

Tjeryt édhuin - You (formal) are

Er/Íre/Te édh - He/She/It is

Itś/Ech/Tjeryt/Er/Íre/Te édhar - I/You/You(f)/He/She/It have/has

Vjan/Źu/Thai edhar - We/You(pl)/They have

Nouns
-es is added to the end of nouns to denote their plural form. In this case no accomadation needs to be made.

hýnt - dog

hýntes - dogs

In cases where the words ends with an e, the duplicated letter is dropped.

However, words ending with r or l use -á to denote plural form.

ce(w)- is a negative indefinite article used to denote not having, not being, or there not being something. In most cases a w is added to denote the stress is on the first syllable of the verb. This is only over-ruled by nouns that already show denoted stress.
