Edorian

General information
Edorian is a fusional language. It also has features of polysynthetic and analytic languages, mostly due to the analytical nature of Proto-edorian.

Edorian
Edorian is divided into three major dialect groups, North-Western, Central and South-Eastern.

Vowels
Proto Edorian had three vowels: /a/, /i/ and /u/; In the middle period /e/ and /o/ developed from diphthongs /ai/ and /au/ in closed syllable positions. Towards the modern period, unstressed /a/ merged to /e/ and unstressed /u/ dropped.

Morphology
Verbs are conjugated according to tense, aspect, and person. Mood and Voice are expressed periphrastically. Nouns and pronouns have four cases, nominative, genitive, dative and accusative. They are divided into subject/object categories, subject being mostly living and personified substantives. Adverbs and adjectives only have one form as far as case and number are concerned, but are declined as base, comparative and superlative.

Syntax
Generally an SVO language.
