General information
This is my first attempt at a conlang, originally concieved as a part of a larger game that never took off. It is the only language from the game that reached anything nearing completion. Inspiration and influence were drawn from Irish [Alphabet style and Head First Order], English [Lack of Genders, Conjugation Method] and some French [Particularly the G/W was taken from the Norman shift]. However word roots and grammar are original.

This being my first conlang, made a few months before stumbling on this, my linguistic vocabularly may be lacking at certain points, however I've done my best and would be open to suggestions on how to either better clarify my meaning, represent phonetic sounds [should it seem inconsistant], remove ambiguities and generally make a more natural sounding language. However for now, here's my first serious effort;

Note: Presently incomplete, Text Sample may be out of date.

Alphabet
Broad/Slender sounds are determined by the vowel that follows; if a, o or u it is broad, if i or e, it is slender. Aspiration and Long vowel may be marked with an accent or by an "h" preceeding the letter [Other letters which don't occur in alphabet are also acceptable, such as "x"], the accent or preceeding letter may very so long as it is consistant.

Phonotactics
Smallest Syllables Possible, Diaphongs are avoided even in the construction of compound words.

In larger words, the consonant of root words will be; In some cases shorter additions will consist of a two letter consonants. Single vowel consonants however, do not occur.

Word Order
Verb Phrase Noun Phrase

Copula:
A Sentance begins with a Copula, this gives the context of whether the sentance is positive, negative or comparative. The only exception to this is when a clause is placed in front in order to put conditions on the sentance, an example of this would be a date or location where this happens exclusively;

"(On) September 12th, we drink water" or "(In) Fehn Ihr, we speak Fehn". These serve as basic contrasts and correlatives, In and On are often used to imply causality between two sentances though technically only state the correlation of two clauses. It can become complicated should the listener be uncertain of whether either of the main clauses are true in the sentance, but this is easily clarified.

Subcopula:
If followed by a verb, it marks a subclause in the sentance. If followed by a noun/adjective, it marks either a list or a negative. In the case of Contrasting Subcoupla marking a list, they are placed in the middle of two NP and used to compare all NP on the list prior and after since the last contrasting subcoupla.

Noun-Adjective/Verb-Adverb;
If a noun or verb is preceded by adjectives or an adverb, the first consonsant that can be aspiration in the word, should become aspirated. In the case of words where the first consonant is already aspirated, the aspiration on the consonant should no longer be aspirated.

Verb-Noun Distinction;
If a verb is being used as the basis for a noun [ex. kicker, a kick], it becomes an adjective to a generic word [person, thing or doing] [ex. kick-person, kick-thing].

Pluralization;
-a is added to a verb to pluralize it if it ends in a consonant, if it ends with a vowel, bh (v) is used. If an uncountable quantifier is used before it (Many, Few, Some), it is not pluralized.

 * 1) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
 * 2) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
 * 3) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
 * 4) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth."
 * 5) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.
 * 6) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
 * 7) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech."
 * 8) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
 * 9) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
