<!-- 

This is a short reminder of the language format policy.

I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

==Introduction==

'''//Been typing this up for a good while now. There's still a bit more to put down, but I'm gonna call it a day where I'm at now. I'm tired of looking at this at the moment. I'll be back later. (tired sigh)//

Ogros is a sketchlang started a long time ago. I want to say it was either my senior year of highschool in 2012, or sometime in 2015 or early 2016. Whatever the case, I worked on it for like a day or two, and then forgot about it. I rediscovered it in late 2016, and then...forgot about it again, lol. In my defense, though, I think the big move halfway across the country happened not too long after that. Anyway, I've re-rediscovered it, and I wanna actually work on it again, and I figured a good way to get things started would be to put down what I had so far, and what little bit I've added to it since its resurfacing.

==Phonology==
===Orthography===
Just roman letters for now, but it might get its own runic script or something. We'll see.

A
E
I
O
U

B
D
G
H
K
Kh
L
M
N
Ng
P
R
Rh
S
Sh
T
Th
W
X
Y
Z
'

===Consonants===
B: /b/
D: /d/
G: /g/
H: silent 
K: /k/
Kh: /x/
L: /l/, /ɫ/ if coda or geminated 
M: /m/
N: /n/
Ng: /ŋ/
P: /p/
R: /r/
Rh: /ɣ/
S: /s/
Sh: /ʃ/
T: /t/
Th: /θ/
W: /w/
X: /k͡s/
Y: /j/
Z: /z/
' : /ʔ/

===Vowels===
_CC : before a geminized consonant (unless directly followed by an H)  ; idk if that's how it's actually written or not, but I figured I'd define it just in case nobody knew what I was trying to say here

A: /a/
A _CC: /ʌ/
E: /ɛ/
I: /i/
I _CC: /ɪ/
O: /oʊ/
O _CC: /œ/
U: /u/
===Prosody===
====Stress====
Put the stress on the penult.
====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==
<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->

<!-- Here are some example subcategories:

Nouns
Adjectives
Verbs
Adverbs
Particles
Derivational morphology

-->

===Verbs===
Verbs make up the majority of the work I've done so far. 

====Infinitive====
The infinitive is formed by taking the root, taking the final vowel in it and adding -k, and sticking that after the initial consonant. If the root begins with a vowel, it goes right in front.

Dosh > Dokosh
''To Build''

Alok > Okalok
''To Wake Up
''

====Present Indicative====
The Present Indicative (or just 'the present' because I don't yet have any subjunctive forms) makes only the distinction between a singular subject or a plural one. This might change later, but that's how it works right now. 

For a singular subject, the present form is just the root form. If you have a plural subject, you add the suffix -yar.

Akan zawaz.
''The man dances.''

Akan(plural ending) zawazyar. 
''The men dance.''


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

==Example texts==
Akan dosh garug
''The man builds a hut.
''
El-Shakum bag kibnag.
''The Elder distributes the horse meat.''
==Other resources==
<!-- Example: Word order, qualifiers, determinatives, branching, etc. -->
