<!--  
'''Initial (ι)'''
* Initials are optional word-initially and mandatory elsewhere
* Can’t have the same manner of articulation as a preceding coda
'''Medial (μ)'''
* Medials are optional
* Liquids are only allowed after stops or fricatives
* Plosives are only allowed after /s/
* /s/ Is only allowed after nasals or liquids
* /s/ is forbidden on a first syllable or after a syllable with coda
'''Nucleus (ν)'''
* Nuclei are mandatory
* Diphthongs are not allowed after a semivowel
'''Coda (κ)'''
* Codas are optional
* Nasals must have the same place of articulation as the following obstruent
* Liquid + fricative are only allowed word-finally
* Liquid + nasal are only allowed word-finally


This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
===Stress===
Stress is placed on the first syllable of words that start with an onset or monosyllabic words and in the second syllable of words with two or more syllables that start with a vowel.


I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
===Allophony===
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)
*Spirants and plosives with the same place of articulation merge and become geminated voiced plosives
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
:: [βp] → [bː]<br/><br/>


-->
* Spirants undergo fortition, becoming voiced plosives, when adjacent to plosives with a different place of articulation or nasals
:: [ðn] → [dn]
:: [tɣ] → [tg]<br/><br/>


This language is being built with the purpose of being a naming proto-language in the reddit collaborative project of Conglomera. It's (very) loosely inspired by what I believe Nordic and Slavic phonologies are like (no actual grounds for that) and is meant to be a very versatile language with many derivational possibilities for words.
* A voiced spirant is added between a nasal and the alveolar flap, corresponding to the same place of articulation as the nasal
::[nɾ] → [nðɾ]<br/><br/>


* The velar spirant merges with the preceding vowel into a voiceless vowel before a consonant
::[ehn] → [e̥n]<br/><br/>


<!-- ***Phonology*** -->
* The alveolar voiced spirant undergoes fortition before the lateral fricative and...
<!-- What sounds does your language use? -->
* The lateral fricative becomes a lateral release after an alveolar plosive
<!-- Here are some example sub-/other categories:
::[ðl] → [dl] → [dˡ]<br/><br/>


Vowel inventory
* The alveolar and velar nasals merge with the palatal glide to form a palatal nasal

==Verbs==
 
===Phonotactic restrictions===
 
Verbs must end in one of the following patterns:
 
*<code>-a</code>
*<code>-an</code>
===Dependency structure===
 
{| class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center;"
| rowspan="2" style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Adverb

| n
|}
| ŋ
 
|  
===Modifier===
 
A modifier is a word, often an adposition, which modifies the meaning of the verb. Direction of the verb can be marked by an adposition and a locative case marking the corresponding noun.
:{{abbtip|First person|1s}}.{{abbtip|Nominative (agent)|nom|sc}} {{abbtip|First person|1s}}.{{abbtip|Genitive|gen|sc}} home.{{abbtip|Locative|loc|sc}} from walk.{{abbtip|Imperfective|impv|sc}} → "I'm walking from my home"
 
===Tense===
 
Muna does not inflect its verbs for tense, instead, speakers can use a time word or adverb for this purpose.

===Phonotactics===
===Mood===
====Syllabic structure====
 
*'''Initial'''
Mood, like tense, is indicated by a dependent adverb.
**(C)(C)V
 
*'''Medial'''
==Nouns==
**(C)CV
 
*'''Final'''
===Phonotactic restrictions===
**(C)CV(C)
All nouns, in their base form, must have one of the following ending patterns:
====Consonant clusters====
Allowed consonant clusters are:


*'''Initial clusters'''
* <code>-a(C)(C)</code>
**/s/ + Plosive
* <code>-e(C)(C)</code>
**Fricative + /r/
* <code>-i(C)(C)</code>
**Approximant + /r, l/


*'''Medial clusters'''
===Noun classes===
**/r, l, s/ + Nasal, Plosive, Approximant
**/r, l/ + Fricative
**Fricative, Plosive + /r/
**Approximant + /r, l/
**/mp, nt, ŋk/


*'''Final clusters'''
'''Gender'''
**???
*Masculine
*:Last vowel is <code>e, ei</code>
*Feminine
*:Last vowel is <code>a, ai</code>
*Neuter
*:Last vowel is <code>i</code>


====Diphthongs====
'''Strength'''
Allowed diphthongs are:
*Weak
*:The word ends in a vowel
*Strong
*:The word ends in a consonant


/ae, ai, ea, ei, ia, ie, eo, ao, io/

===Morphology===
In all cases the agent comes before the object as both can take either the absolutive or nominative cases depending on the particular situation. The verb comes last in all non-interrogative constructions.
