* c and g, when before vowels written with e, y or i (e, i, y, ie, ea) are pronounced like [tʃ, j], to put this "softened" sounds, you used to put ȝ after it, but now gȝ becomes ȝ, so only cȝ is used for the sound [tʃ] after a, o, u, æ, œ, å or when alone in the coda. | |||
* ȝ is read as [j] when in the onset, in the coda is silent, to put [j] in the coda, g is used independently of what the vowel before was, to put [g], you repeat the g (Mågg [mɔg] vs Mæg [mɛj]) | |||
* f, þ and s can be pronounce as voiced if they come beetween 2 vowels or a vowel and a voiced sound, but if this occurs beetween words, then the writing wont convey it. | |||
* "nh", "lh", "rh" and "ƿh" are purely etymological, so is it "ie" and "ea" but only when pronounced [a] | |||
* æ and å are pronounce as diphthongs only in the british dialect, and at the ends of words. | |||
* ea is normally pronounced [a] after labial consonants, otherwise it's pronounced [ja] | |||
In the middle language, each vowel came in short and long form except 2 and 3 of them had a special rediced form, now this is only done in the orthography | |||

===Syntax=== | |||
Although SVO order is the most normal for affirmative and negative sentences, Theme first order is possible when one of them is singular, when both are plural, SVO takes over, for questions VSO order is the most common. | |||
In imperative statements, the subject is ommited but the verb is still conjugated, if neccesary, a nominative pronoun can be inserted after the verb, also the imperative is used for immeadiate actions. | |||
Cȝallast! [tʃaləst] - (You) call! | |||
Cȝallað! [tʃaləð] - (He/She/They) call! | |||
Cȝallað hœ! [tʃaləð hy:] - She('ll) call! | |||
Cȝaliað! [tʃaljəð] - (We/You/They) call! | |||
Cȝaliað Ƿe! [tʃaljəð wi:] - We('ll) call! | |||

Numbers beetween 13 and 19 are done with the Nominative version of the number + tyn [tyn] | |||
Outside of Tƿentig "twenty", tens are made via the suffix -tig [tɪ(j)], and tens are put before units (69: Sixtig nigon) | |||
The word Hundred, functions in much the same way that its cognate in english and so does Þuzend [θəuzɪnd] | |||

- c and g, when before vowels written with e, y or i (e, i, y, ie, ea) are pronounced like [tʃ, j], to put this "softened" sounds, you used to put ȝ after it, but now gȝ becomes ȝ, so only cȝ is used for the sound [tʃ] after a, o, u, æ, œ, å or when alone in the coda.
- ȝ is read as [j] when in the onset, in the coda is silent, to put [j] in the coda, g is used independently of what the vowel before was, to put [g], you repeat the g (Mågg [mɔg] vs Mæg [mɛj])
- f, þ and s can be pronounce as voiced if they come beetween 2 vowels or a vowel and a voiced sound, but if this occurs beetween words, then the writing wont convey it.
- "nh", "lh", "rh" and "ƿh" are purely etymological, so is it "ie" and "ea" but only when pronounced [a]
- æ and å are pronounce as diphthongs only in the british dialect, and at the ends of words.
- ea is normally pronounced [a] after labial consonants, otherwise it's pronounced [ja]
In the middle language, each vowel came in short and long form except 2 and 3 of them had a special rediced form, now this is only done in the orthography

Syntax
Although SVO order is the most normal for affirmative and negative sentences, Theme first order is possible when one of them is singular, when both are plural, SVO takes over, for questions VSO order is the most common.
In imperative statements, the subject is ommited but the verb is still conjugated, if neccesary, a nominative pronoun can be inserted after the verb, also the imperative is used for immeadiate actions.
Cȝallast! [tʃaləst] - (You) call!
Cȝallað! [tʃaləð] - (He/She/They) call!
Cȝallað hœ! [tʃaləð hy:] - She('ll) call!
Cȝaliað! [tʃaljəð] - (We/You/They) call!
Cȝaliað Ƿe! [tʃaljəð wi:] - We('ll) call!
Lexicon
Numbers
Number have a shaky declination, vhile numbers above 3 don't decline, 1, 2 and 3 have a simplified declension
One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten | Eleven | Twelve | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nom/Acc | Ån | Tƿå | Þrœ [θry:] | Fœƿer

Brit.: [at:a] Am.: [jata] |
Nigon | Tyn
[təyn] |
Enlœvan | Tƿelv |
Gen | Ånes | Tƿår | Þrœr [θryə(r)] | |||||||||
Dat | Ånan | Tƿåm | Þrim |
Numbers beetween 13 and 19 are done with the Nominative version of the number + tyn [tyn]
Outside of Tƿentig "twenty", tens are made via the suffix -tig [tɪ(j)], and tens are put before units (69: Sixtig nigon)
The word Hundred, functions in much the same way that its cognate in english and so does Þuzend [θəuzɪnd]
Months
Every year is split in 2, 6 months of Winter, 6 months of Summer, however Geðœd speakers use the Julian Calendar now.
