Rencadian ('' | '''Rencadian''' (เรงกาทฃวงฃ์ว ''Rêngkaatkhwong'', เรงกาทมิฬก ''Rêngkaatmilok'') or '''Raxic''' (รกข- ''Rokkha-'' from Thens. ''Raxa-'') is an a priori conlang inspired by Thai, spoken in the Tālsian country of Rokkhachhaam. It is unrelated to its main superstrate languages, [[Thensarian]] and [[Ramanujan]], which it borrows from with phonotactic restrictions similar to Indic vocabulary in Thai. These strata in the Rencadian lexicon are natively termed เฒงษรพกษภ ''Thengsornphoksop'' and งอมอณุยณพกษภ ''Ngormornuyonphoksop'' 'Thensarian/Ramanujan borrowings' respectively, or informally เฒงษรมิฬก ''Thengsornmilok'' and งอมอณุยณมิฬก ''Ngormornuyonmilok'' 'Thensarian/Ramanujan words'. | ||

Rencadian is | == Phonology == | ||
=== Consonants === | |||
{{angbr|''k kh ng ch chh d t th n b p ph m y r l w s h''}} /k k{{h}} {{ng}} t{{ś}} t{{ś}}{{h}} d t t{{h}} m b p p{{h}} m j r l w s h/ | |||
=== Vowels === | |||
{{angbr|''a aa/ar i ee u oo ue ûe e ê ae ai o ô ao or''}} /a aː i iː u uː ɯ ɯː e eː ɛː aj o oː aw ɔː/ | |||
=== Intonation === | |||
Unlike Thai, Rencadian is not tonal; however, it uses some intonational patterns inspired by Thai, like pronouncing pausal long vowels as [VːV]: | |||
* ''Bôthadee!'' /boːtʰadiː/ [boːtʰɐdíːì] 'Listen!' | |||
* ''Rengkaatkhwong ongmaikhwongkhwamorn.'' /tʰeŋkʰakʰwoŋ oŋmajkʰwoŋkʰwamɔːn/ [tʰeŋkʰɐkʰwoŋ ʔoŋmajkʰwoŋkʰwɐmɔ́ːɔ̀n] 'Rencadian is my mother tongue.' | |||
== Orthography == | |||
Rencadian uses the Thai script. Native /d t t{{asp}} n l s/ use the dental series, while Thensarian and Ramanujan loanwords use the retroflex series for these sounds. | |||
== Morphology == | |||
=== Nouns === | |||
Plural ''-orn'', from ''*-ar'': | |||
* ''milok'' 'word, speech' (from Thensarian ''milacus'') → ''milakorn'' | |||
* ''khwong'' 'language' (from Thensarian ''quhanquhus'') → ''khwongkhworn'' | |||
* ''phon'' 'human' (from older native Rencadian ''*vala'') → ''phalorn'' | |||
Pluralization is optional and is not used with numbers or quantifiers, but is near-obligatory with animates. | |||
The copula is suffixed ''-am-'' or postposed ''am-'': | |||
''Yong Rokkhaphalamorn. / Yong Rokkhaphon amorn'' = 1SG Raxan_person(-)COP-PRES = 'I am a Raxan.' | |||
== Verbs == | |||
*The present tense is marked with ''-orn''. | |||
*The imperative is ''-dee'' or dialectally ''-thee''. | |||
Example: ''Ongmilok bôthadee!'' 'Listen to what I say!' | |||
== Pronouns == | |||
