'''Nanyse''' is my first conlang. Although this is far from its first incarnation, I'm hoping to use this as a platform for other languages I'll need in a science-fiction novel I'm working on. The language, and the culture of those humans who spoke it, was created gradually over time as native speakers from different points in Earth's history were kidnapped and forced to work with speakers from other cultures and languages. I'd call the end result - this current incarnation - a macro-[[w:pidgin|pidgin]], but it really only serves as a proto-language of sorts for the languages that will actually be used. I hope you enjoy watching me struggle with creating this language. Please, don't hesitate to send any questions my way - especially if I've slipped up and forgotten my own rules or spellings. Thank you for your attentions!


{{Infobox language
'''Nanyse''' is a term which represents the full history of the cultures and languages of those (Humans) which reside in (the Void). An archaic word with origins in Lax An, it was first thought to mean language, but is now believed to mean oral history and traditions. The languages it encompasses are as follows:
|name = Nanyse
|nativename = Иφчψѣɔ
|pronunciation = /nʌ.nɪ.sɛ/
|region = [[conworld:Fifth Quadrant|Fifth Quadrant]]

==Introduction==
=[[Lax An]]=
Nanyse is the proto language of the various tribes of the Ubaneb Dumun. It is an a posteriori language, with reported origins in ancient Sumerian, Hittite, and Chinese, and employs alphabetic orthography, as well as agglutinative grammar. Nanyse is a consonantic and accusative language.
Translating directly to Ancestor's Tongue, Lax An is an old, dead language thought to be the first fully developed language used by (Humans) in (the Void)and is now widely thought of as the proto language that led to the development of each of the four languages spoken by (Humans) today.


==Phonology==
==(Proto Dev-Merc-Polit)==
The Nanyse alphabet is composed of 52 symbols, with separate symbols denoting either the upper or lower case forms of 26 different sounds. Due to the difficulties of developing an alphabet for a proto-language, the roman alphabet will be used for now. A native alphabet will be developed another time.

====Pronunciation====
===(Proto Dev-Polit)===
In Nanyse, consonants are pronounced as follows:


H[h] - B[b] - D[d] - F[f] - G[g] - J[dʒ] - C[tʃ] - K[k] - L[l] - M[m] - N[n] - P[p] - R[ɹ] - X[ʃ] - S[s] - V[θ] - T[t] - W[w] - Z[z]


===Dialects===
====(Dev)====
As mentioned before, the Ohi dialect is considered to be the proper pronunciation of Nanyse, but, standing at 14% of the population, the Ohi are far from the most numerous speakers of the language. Below is how Nanyse is pronounced among the Kote, Jara, and Yrem.


====Kote====
Vowels: A[a] - Æ[ʌɪ] - E[ɛ] - Y[ə] - I[ɛɪ] - O[u] - U[ɵ]


Consonants: H[silent] - B[b] - D[d] - F[v] - G[g] - J[ʥ] - C[sk] - K[x] - L[ɹ] - M[m] - N[n] - P[t] - R[h] - X[ʃ] - S[s] - V[f] - T[ð] - W[w] - Z[ʒ]
====(Polit)====


====Jara====
Vowels: A[ʌ] - Æ[ɛɪ] - E[ɛ] - Y[ɪ] - I[aɪ] - O[a] - U[ʉ]


Consonants: H[h] - B[p] - D[t] - F[f] - G[dʒ] - J[g] - C[ʃ] - K[k] - L[l] - M[m] - N[n] - P[b] - R[ɹ] - X[tʃ] - S[s] - V[θ] - T[d] - W[w] - Z[z]
==(Proto Scholar)==


====Yrem====
Vowels: A[ʌ] - Æ[aɪ] - E[ɛ] - Y[ɪ] - I[oʊi] - O[o] - U[u]


Consonants: H[h] - B[b] - D[p] - F[ð] - G[g] - J[dz] - C[dʒ] - K[x] - L[ɹ] - M[m] - N[n] - P[d] - R[ɭ] - X[ʃ] - S[s] - V[v] - T[tʃ] - W[w] - Z[ʒ]
===(Pre Scholar)===


===Phonotactics===
The syllable structure in Nanyse (meaning the number of consonant sounds that may precede or follow a vowel sound) is CCCVCCC (C = consonant, V = vowel), as long as the consonant clusters are an allowed combination. As happens with many languages that are formed over a long period of time from many different sources, there is the occasional word that doesn't fit this format. These words are the exception to the rule and are few in number.


Every syllable has a vowel as its nucleus
====(Scholar)====
 
A nucleus may stand on its own, or may have one or more consonants before it (onsets) or following it (coda)
 
If a single consonant is between two vowels, the consonant belongs to the second syllable.

==Morphology==
As the Ubaneb Dumun were forced to adapt to life in new and alien environments, so was their language. Only the aspects that best lent themselves to clear and concise communication survived as the language evolved alongside its people.
 
===Prosody===
Nanyse is atonal, meaning tone does not affect the meaning of the words. Syllable stress is light and penult, meaning that the next-to-last syllable is the one stressed, except in single syllable words, where it is omitted.
 
===Gender===
Nanyse uses three genders: personal, animate, and inanimate. Gender affects nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
 
*'''Personal''' gender is reserved for living things that are intelligent or sacred. Sentient species, stars and gods are all referred to using the personal gender. Some natural genders still exist in vocabulary (ie: man, woman, bull, cow, etc.), but are not present in grammar.
 
*'''Animate''' gender is used for things that are living or life-like. Non-sentient species, plants, planets, and transportation are all referred to using the animate gender. To refer to something that qualifies for a personal gender with an animate gender is  considered insulting.
 
*'''Inanimate''' gender is used for things that cannot move or are non-living. Buildings, weapons, land marks, and anything dead are all referred to using the inanimate gender. Although land marks are a part of the planet they’re on, they’re considered separate aspects of the planet (in the same way that your hair is part of you, but not actually you).
 
Favored things are frequently referred to by a gender higher than they should (a weapon might be referred to by a fighter as an animate thing, instead of an inanimate, or a bit of transportation might be by it’s pilot/driver as a personal thing instead of an animate).
 
===Nouns===
[[w:noun|Nouns]] are words that denote a person, place, thing, animal, or idea. In Nayse, nouns are affected by definiteness, plurality, and gender.
 
*'''Definiteness''' differentiates between nouns that are specific and identifiable and nouns that are not.
 
{| class="bluetable lightbluebg mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle; width: 700px;"
! colspan="3"  | Definiteness
|-
! style="text-align:center;" |
! style="text-align:center;" |Prefix
! style="text-align:center;" |Example
|-
! style="" |Indefinite
| (none)
| jex (a tree)
|-
! style="" |Definite
| ‘al-’
| aljex (the tree)
|-
! style="" |[[w:Construct_state|Construct]]
| ‘e-’ (‘eh-’ for words beginning with a vowel)
| jex esær (the tree of the world)
|}
 
*Nanyse uses four '''plural forms''':
 
{| class="bluetable lightbluebg mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle; width: 700px;"
! colspan="4"  | Plural Forms
|-
! style="text-align:center;"|
! style="text-align:center;" |# of Subjects
! style="text-align:center;" |Suffix
! style="text-align:center;" |Example
|-
! style="" |Singular
| 1
| (none)
| jex (1 tree)
|-
! style="" |Dual
| 2
| ‘-z’ (‘-ez’ for words ending in ‘s’, 'x', or 'z')
| jexez (2 trees)
|-
! style="" |Paucal
| 3 - 5
| ‘-za’ (‘-eza’ for words ending in ‘s’, 'x' or 'z')
| jexeza (3 - 5 trees)
|-
! style="" |Plural
| 6+
| reduplication (the word is repeated)
| jexjex (6 or more trees)
|}
 
*When a noun of personal or animate '''gender''' becomes, or is referred to as, inanimate, the prefix 'te-' ('teh-', if the word begins with a vowel) is added to the word. If the noun being modified is already modified by definiteness, the gender modifier follows the definiteness modifier.
**'''Example:''' tejex (a dead tree)
**'''Example:''' altejex(the dead tree)
**'''Example:''' tejex esær(the dead tree of the world)
 
===Pronouns===
[[w:Pronoun|Pronouns]] are words and forms that substitute for nouns or noun phrases. Nanyse uses eight types of pronouns. Pronouns are made plural in the same way that nouns are.
 
'''Possessive pronouns''': indicate possession or ownership (his, hers, its, yours, ours, theirs)
 
'''Reciprocal pronouns''': refer to a reciprocal relationship (one another, each other)
 
'''Demonstrative pronouns''': distinguish objects or people that are referred to from other possible candidates.
*‘This’ refers to things/people near the speaker.
*‘That’ refers to things/people near the addressee or subject.
*‘Yonder’ refers to things/people far from both.
 
'''Interrogative pronouns''': ask which person/thing is meant
 
'''Relative pronouns''': refer to people/things previously mentioned
 
'''Indefinite pronouns''': refer to one or more unspecified beings, objects, or places
