Diluvian is a philosophical ab interiori language.

==Introduction==
...<br>
In Diluvian, vocabulary can be common, social, onomatopoeic, or mimetic<br>
*the mimetic interpretation describes physical characteristics
pa *used to describe what flaps
ta *used to describe what closes or is rigid
ka *used to describe what crashes 
ra *used to describe what is fluid or maleable
sa *used to describe what is alive

*the onomatopoeic interpretation
mu cow
si snake
acin "sneezing" vs gur "drinking"
i "outward"
a "human cry"
u "inwards"

==Syllabaries==

880 (44 particles x 5 vowels x 4) + 150(40 particles x 4 -10) = 1030
for the same reason syllables such as ri /ɾi/ are allowed
but riaçi /ɾʲəd͡zi/ is not
a nucleus cannot have more than two sound effects
for this reason, the negative and positive versions of ya wa sa za ra ca and ça cannot suffer nasalization
[t͡sə > ⁿt͡sə, but t͡sʲə > *ⁿt͡sʲə]
Diluvian triggers sound changes
t͡si [t͡ʃi]
t͡sʲi [ɕːi]~[t͡ʃɨ]

===Essential Syllabary===

===Prior Syllabary===
1350 isolated syllables of semantic priority are allowed within Diluvian (disregarding alternative vowels as well as nasal forms and consonantal clusters in coda position). In Babelic, however, there would be only 1020 prior syllables due the loss of final glottal stop.

==Phonology==

===Consonants===

Diluvian has 24 basic consonants, but 50 consonants in total considering the positive, negative, and nasal forms. <br>
p b k g t d
<br>
m m n n w j
<br>
s z ʔ h q χ
<br>
ɾ ts dz pʼ tʼ kʼ<br>
The n-series: mp mb ŋk ŋg nt nd ɲ nts ndz ns nz nq<br>
The dz-series are either some form of -dz- themselves or trigger it: t͡sʲ t͡sʷ d͡zʲ d͡zʷ sʲ sʷ zʲ zʷ pʲ	tʲ tʷ	kʷ ɾʲ ɾʷ

===Vowels===
===Prosody===
====Stress====
====Intonation====

===Phonotactics===
<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
===Morphophonology===

==Morphology==



==Syntax==
===Constituent order===
===Noun phrase===
===Verb phrase===
===Sentence phrase===
===Dependent clauses===
<!-- etc. etc. -->

==Babelic==
The Diluvian Code can be spoken in a reduced register, where context dictates the meaning of the words. It is called Babelic, when neither morphology, nor syntax, or prosody matter


(words don't inflect)
(to express questions and biases it's required more words)

''mu kaun tha!''
are you implying I should die like a dog!

''ke qi''
he did not see that coming

==Example texts==
<!-- An example of a translated or unique text written in your language. Again, it is recommended that you make sure that the phonology, constraints, phonotactics and grammar are more or less finished before writing. -->
==Other resources==
<!-- Example: Word order, qualifiers, determinatives, branching, etc. -->
