Neu-Öcidental

Introduction

Designed to be like an evolved and collapsed Pan-Romance language in ~2200s. Anyone can add to or help!

Phonology

Again, designed to have evolved from a simple, easy sound system that slowly collapsed into something more colloquial and complex.

¹Non-clitic possessive pronouns inflect like adjectives. Example: mio fil = my son, fila mia = my daughter, mios filos = my children
²T-V distinction is only expressed in the singular.
³In these cases, distinction is made between the masculine plural and feminine plural. Masculine is used to refer to any group that is not completely feminine.
