'''Croissant''' is the ancestor of the Zoomic language family spoken on the planet Rulak. It's meant to be French gibberish with retroflexes.
<!--


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==
<!-- Design goals, inspiration, ideas, who speaks it?, when was it created?, where does it come from?, any peculiarities? -->
<!-- Example categories/headings:
Goals
Setting
Inspiration
-->
<!-- ***Phonology*** -->
<!-- What sounds does your language use? -->
<!-- Here are some example sub-/other categories:
Vowel inventory
Consonant inventory
Syllable structure
Stress
Intonation
-->
==Phonology==
The same as French, but with three additional retroflex consonants: '''ṭ''' /ʈ/, '''ḍ''' /ɖ/ and '''ṇ''' /ɳ/.
===Orthography===
Written like French.
===Consonants===
===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==
===Nouns===
Croissant nouns have two cases: nominative and genitive. Nouns ending with consonants use this paradigm:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!  !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| Nominative || - || -o
|-
| Genitive || -e || -ɑ̃
|}
For example,
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ''riège'' (wood) !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| Nominative || riège || riègeau
|-
| Genitive || riègé || riègent
|}
(Croissant final -ent is always pronounced.) Nouns ending with vowels use the same paradigm, but with an intrusive t:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!  !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| Nominative || - || -to
|-
| Genitive || -te || -tɑ̃
|}
For example,
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ''crus'' (grass) !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| Nominative || crus || crûteau
|-
| Genitive || crûté || crûtant
|}
===Verbs===
Verbs don't inflect for number or person.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ''gauṇe'' 'to love' !! Indicative !! Subjunctive
|-
| Present || gauṇe || gauṇement
|-
| Past || dégauṇe|| dégauṇement
|-
| Future || gauṇé || gauṇaise
|}
==Syntax==
Croissant is an almost exact relex of English.
===Constituent order===
===Noun phrase===
===Verb phrase===
===Sentence phrase===
===Dependent clauses===
<!-- etc. etc. -->
==Example texts==
==Other resources==
<!-- Example: Word order, qualifiers, determinatives, branching, etc. -->
