'''Idosian''' (''ee-DOH-see-ən''; natively 〈səy.i.do.sam〉 ''səyIdosm'' /səjiˈdosm̩/ lit. 'the language of the eastern people') is a major [[Tsimulh]] language mainly spoken in [[Verse:Tricin/herIdosm|herIdosm]], a country in East [[Verse:Tricin/Txapoalli|Txapoalli]]. It is one of the more innovative Tsimulh languages.

Idosian is a language with restricted initial consonants. The name is taken from one of Praimhín's conlang sketches.
==Todo==
*intervocalic ʔ, h after a, ɛ, ɔ, e, o > ɹ
*intervocalic ʔ, h after i > y, after u > w
*high i, u > i u
*e, o > i u
*First get some hiatusing vowels
*''im, in'' in closed syllables > ''am, an''
*p-less: p becomes glottal stop?
 
there could be a rule where every unstressed syllable gets lenited
that would reduce the number of possible initial consonants
and if you couple that with post tonic syncope you could get some crazy phonotactics
 
like no initial clusters or even initial stops but weird tibetan like clusters in the middle of a word
 
pda-sfëtsiv > hia-zëncm
 
final ɛ, ɔ, a > i, u, ə, final everything else > Ø?
 
su-'ųdzəqw > huwózkw (cl 5) = tetrachord
 
-tspimi = to shine
 
==Phonology==
===Consonants===
Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids. Idosian gained /ɹ/ via [[w:Linking and intrusive R#Intrusive R|R-intrusion]], under the influence of neighboring [[Shalian]].
 
Modern Idosian has 26 consonants:

===Phonotactics===
No initial clusters or stops are allowed, but after a stressed syllable anything goes.
 
==Orthography==
Idosian is written in an orthography which lacks a letter for /ɹ/.
==Grammar==
Like many Tsimulh languages, Idosian has remnants of a Bantu-style noun class system.
 
Idosian morphology is more complex than that of other [[Tsimulh languages]] due to syncope of the various prefix elements.
 
Also, Idosian has cases due to [[Shalian]] influence.
