Hrotish

General information
Classical Hrotish is the literary language and lingua franca of the Hrots, who now inhabit the continent of Hrotland.

*These are allophones of /t/ and /d/ respectively in the case where t and d appear alone in the middle or at the end of a word

 * These are allophones of /s/ and /z/ respectively in the case where s and z appear before a front vowel


 * These are allophones of /k/ and /g/ respectively in the case where k and g appear before a front vowel


 * These are allophones of /x/. / ɣ/ occurs when /x/ occurs between two vowels, while / ç/ and /ʝ/ appear before front vowels


 * These are all allophones of /r/. /ʁ/ appears at the end of words, while / ʀ/ appears before back vowels


 * This is allophone of /l/ that appears at the end of words

Vowels
Diphthongs: ai, ɛi

NB: All vowels can appear as long, which is marked by an accent

Alphabet
P, B, M, T, D, N, S, Z, R, L, K, G, NN, Q, H, A, Á, Ä, Â, O, Ó, U, Ú, E, É, I, Í, Y, Ý, AE, ÉI

Phonotactics
(C)(C)V(C)(C), where adjacent consonants agree in voice and place of articulation

Mutations
Adjacent stops, nasals, and fricatives must agree in voice and place of articulation. Voiced consonants generally take precedence over unvoiced ones (the unvoiced ones become voiced), unvoiced stops take precedence over voiced fricatives.

Vowel Harmony
All Hrotish vowels are either front or back, and within a root and its affixes must agree in frontness or backness with the stressed vowel that forms the nucleus of the root. Vowels of different fronting cannot be adjacent to each other and are separated by an “h”.

Nouns
Hrotish nouns have three genders, three numbers, and six cases, and are divided into six declensions.

First declension nouns are strong, meaning that the main vowel of the root morpheme changes to reflect number. They always end in -r and are almost always masculine. Second declension nouns are strong; almost always end in -t, -d, -s, -z, -l, or -n; and are neuter. Third declension nouns are also strong, always end in -a/-ä, and are feminine.

Determiners
Hrotish has four main kinds of determiners. The first is the definite article "al/äl", which almost always appears when there is not another determiner. The second is the partitive article "Tal/täl", which represents some or any. The third type is the pronomial determiner, "mar/mär, tar/tär, lar/lär, noar/niär, voar/viär, lara/lärä". The fourth and final type of determiner is the demonstrative determiners "sar/sär and sur/sír

Adjectives
Adjectives in Hrotish decline for number, gender, and case. They are declined like 4th, 5th, or 6th declension nouns depending on the gender of the noun they modify. They can come after the adjective they modify. Adjectives can be formed from nouns by adding a/ä to the end of the noun.

Verbs
===Hrotish verb constructions have two parts; the first part is the copular verb "ár" conjugated for person, number, tense, mood, and voice. The second part of the verb construction is a participle of the main verb that agrees with the subject of the sentence. === Here is the conjugation of "ár": Here are the mood markers:

Indicative:

Subjunctive: h(a)/h(ä)

Imperative: d(o)/d(e)

Here are the voice markers:

Active:

Passive: g(o)/g(e)

To form a a complete verb phrase, one adds a participle form of the verb to the copula. There are three verb forms, the infinitive/gerund, the present participle, and the past participle.

All infinitives end in -r. The infinite also functions as a gerund and is declined as a 4th declension noun.

Present participles (which are also adjectives) are formed by removing the final -r and adding an a/ä if the stem does not already end in an a/ä.

The past participle is formed by adding -da/dä to the verb stem.

Here is thus the tense/aspect formed by the two parts of the verbal construction: NB: Remember that the participle must agree with absolutive case noun associated with it.

Adverbs
Hrotish adverbs are formed from adjectives by removing the final a/ä and adding the suffix -duil. Adverbs go in the middle of a verb phrase.

Pro-forms
The Hrotish pro-verb is "var" (to do) and it can replace verbs like a pronoun can replace a noun.

Here is a list of Hrotish pronouns:

Prepositions
Hrotish preposition are always followed by nouns in either the genetive, dative, instrumental, or locative case. These cases can stand for themselves, in fact there is a silent pronoun in Hrotish.

Here are some common pronouns:

at - to with dative, at with locative

aen - in with locative, into with dative

éq - out of with dative

mit - with with instrumental

Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions: und (and uniting two phrases), é (and within a phrase type), méi (or)

Subordinating conjunctions always end in -ka

Syntax
Basic Theoretical Structure

Like any language, Hrotish follows a basic, universal framework. At the base of this framework is the lexicon, the inventory of words in the language, as well as certain pertinent information about said words. The next step in this framework is the X' Rules, which govern how the words in the lexicon are arranged into phrases and sentences in a hierarchical fashion. This produces the D structure, the underlying structure of the language. The D structure is also the level at which the Theta Criterion applies. The Theta Criterion deals with phenomena like verb transitivity by saying that every lexical item has a theta role. Theta roles of different classes (lexical categories like nouns, verbs, etc) must match up one to one with other classes.

The final stage in the framework is movement, which governs a whole series of different types of transforms that can occur. The language the we would see and hear, the product of these transformations, forms the S Structure, the final level in our syntactic framework.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'CourierNew';color:#00000a;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Now that we have the D structure, we can apply case theory. The idea behind case theory is that that all DP, depending on the role they play in the sentence, must have a case. This case, in Hrotish, affects the suffix a noun has. In this particular sentence, “al-paddar” is assigned ergative case, since it is the subject of a transitive verb, “lan” is assigned absolutive case because it is the direct object of a transitive verb, and “äl-meträ” is assigned dative case because it is the indirect object of the verb. As such, “al paddar” transforms into “al-paddará”, “lan” remains “lan”, and “äl-meträ” becomes “äl-metré”.

All sentences in Hrotish undergo this movement, producing its characteristic Object Subject Verb word order. Hrotish also undergoes head movement, where the T moves to the [C] position.

In complex questions, one adds the Interrogative Particle and replaces the phrases in question with an interrogative pro-form.

To form a relative clause, one moves the phrases that is being relativized to the [Spec,CP] position and replaces it with an interrogative pronoun.

In Hrotish, the main verb in the sentence licenses absolutive case, and, as a quirk of Hrotish grammar, must license that case to some DP. If there is no complement DP to license the absolutive case to (as in the case of an intransitive verb), the verb will license the absolutive case to the subject DP. Since a DP can only receive case once, the subject DP is then blocked from taking ergative case.
