'''Teutla''' is a Cramarian language with a faintly mixed Nahuatl/Mayan touch.
'''Teutla''' is a Cramarian language with a faintly mixed Nahuatl/Mayan touch. It was later to be superseded by another language [[Coalen]], with a very similar motif and inspiration but different grammar and phonetics.
::Sample:
:'''shetash huaccan | chacnech ijopnej īxnen.'''
:/ˈʃetaʃ ˈwakkan | ˈt͡ʃaknet͡ʃ iˈxopnex ˈiːʂnen/
:''All men are big |  A lot of ashes cover his feet''

Teutla notably preserves the alveolar/retroflex distinction for the sibilant, adding a palatal also.

==Morphosyntax==

===Nouns===
===Nouns===
Nouns only mark for ergative, absolutive (lack of marking and citation form) and construct. Appart from these, Teutla uses a number of postpositional suffixes to convey most other senses that could be covered by cases in other agglutinative languages. More important than case marking is the plural, which depends on the noun class and can also cover names other than plain plural, such as collective or "completive" and a "multative" (many instances of one same thing).
