SIDENOTE[]

The language is in progress, so don't interpret the state of the pages as it was shitpost, also I am new and don't speak English natively, so if you can help me with translations, you can modify the page or ask me. - MS


Tennoqa: Japanese-like sylable stucture, analytical

Artra:mutation, short and long vowels, fusional.

Vwal: Only one vowel, aglutinative

Traditia:multiple versions of the same consonants, Ditavqxaj-like grammar

Allophony[]

All alophonic rules are optionals, so also can be called Allophonic Dialectal Rules (ADR)

Voice Assimilation (VA)[]

A voiced sound before a voiceless one, voiced the second sound

Prenasalize Plosives (PNP)[]

A nasal-plosive sequence, articulates as a prenasalize stop regardless of voice

Aproximant-Vowel Interchanges (AVI)[]

Plosives and fricatives cause i, ï and u to mutate into y and w and can be palatalaizator and labializators

Phonotactics[]

The sylable structure is (O)(S)V(S)(O), when O stands for Obstruents, S is for Sonorants. V stand for vowel.

Some sylables have more than one vowel, creating a dipthong, that's because a sylable with no coda and another with no onset, merge together.

The maximum intervocalic consonant number is 3.

Also, the language has a feature called "place harmony":

It dishtinguish beetween Frontal and Dorsal consonants and syllables can't have both types of consonants at once

This cause that any prefix or sufix that have a consonant, to have two versions: A Frontal and a Dorsal


Grammar[]

"Nouns"[]

Inflections[]

All nouns doesn't inflect for number, gender or person. Instead there can have a article before than instead get's the inflection.

Derivation[]

Nouns can also be adverbs and both can be verbs or adjetives with the apropiate sufix

[-(u)ʃ, -(u)t ] "-(u)x, -(u)t" - Noun to Verb

[-(o)q, -(o)h] "-(o)q, -(o)h" - Noun to Adjective

Animacy[]

There are 8 types of animacy, each name will have a animacy class, but if the animacy class is needed to be other than the animacy it has, you can add prefixes to the referent:

A. Type Frontal Dorsal
Ethereal -izq -ist
Syntetic -ilq -ivt
Elemental -izk -ifp
Behaviourus -ast -axk
Kinetic -ahp -ajk
Person -asd -axg
Unknowed (Eth,Syn,Elm) -uzq -uft
Unknowed (Bhv,Knt,Prs) -usp -uxp

Cases[]

Note: the Genitives can co-occur with other cases, the Genitive Suffix is put after the Nom., Acc., Sce., or Dat. Suffixes

Before Verb After Verb
F D F D
Nominative -(a)h -(a)j
Scenic -(u)n -(u)qn
Acusative -(e)f -(e)z
Benefive/Dative -(i)m -(i)l
Relative Genitive -(o)t -(o)q -(o)t -(o)q
Absolutive Genitive -(o)b -(o)g -(o)b -(o)g

Numerals[]

Numbers from 0 to 30 are transcribed with an standard, ordinal, focal ordinal (if is one) or a declarative number.

Numbers from 31 to 900 are transcribed using the prefix of the first digit and the second number's word, also the class are indicated using the second number's class, an exception being the numbers that end in 0.

Numbers from 900 up to infinity are transcribed with prefixing the first number's prefix with a prefix depending on the relative importance of the digit (30->3*10->tepit-), do the same with the next until the non-transcribed part is less than 900 unless it ends in 0.

Adjectives[]

All the Adjectives are derivate with the "Noun to Adjectives" suffix, the conjugation of Adjectives uses a particle, so if many adjectives have some derivation properties, the particle comes after the last in the chain, used as postpositions.

Writing System[]

Characters Dïtavxaj

Alphasylabary[]

In the Alphasylabary, there are 2 types of characters:

Unitals (1 consonants) characters.

Dual (2 consonants) characters.

| is a place holder for anything

The vowel diacritics are read bottom to top, a.k.a.: the top diacritics put his vowel after the consonant and the bottom diacritics put his vowel before the consonant.

Dual characters are formed by putting a "header" char. and a "final" char.
