Sakåår

General information
Sakåår is the indigenous language of Sulzak, a colony of Aratkom.

Vowels
All vowels can be made long. This is orthographically indicated by doubling the vowel.

Phonotactics
The basic syllable structure is (C)V(C). However, a syllable cannot start with the last consonant of the previous syllable.

Any combination of a plosive and a fricative is possible, both initially and finally. Furthermore an approximant can be added to the end of an initial consonant cluster.

Verbs
Verbs aren't conjugated for things specified elsewhere in the sentence - so a sentence like "I ate a fish yesterday" wouldn't be in the past tense. Verbs don't agree with number either, but they do agree with person of both subject and objects - but not when that's already specified. For the subject and the direct object following prefixes are used:

Indirect objects use suffixes instead: -kaa (1st person), -fyñ (2nd person) and -let (3rd person).

Tense
The past tense is formed by lowering and shortening the stressed vowel. In other words I and Y become E, E becomes A, U and Ÿ become O, O becomes Å, and A and Å remain unchanged.

The future tense however is formed using the circumfix my-...-cåll and switching the first two consonants (that includes the "m").

Nouns
If there is an adjective, the stem vowel is lengthened.
