Ormå(/ormo/, ormå píppi; Ormå: [ormɔ ˈpi.ppi]) is a language spoken by the Ormå people of the southern areas of the tundras of Ulmis. It is an Umic language, so it is related to the languages of Umį and Pailä. The Umic languages themselves are a sub-branch of the Ulmic languages, which includes Pêrsir and Zadję.
It is a fusional SOV language that, like all other Ulmic languages, heavily features nasalised vowels.
Etymology
Ormå comes from Ancient Ormå ormorri, a term referring to a tundra that is naturally protected from harsher winds by some other geographical feature, typically hills. ormorri may come from Proto-Ulmic *olmuy, "silence", which would make Pêrsir ulmii, "volume", cognate with ormorri.
Phonology
Orthography
Ormå uses a modified form of the Standard Ulmic Script(SUS)[1], which includes a special letter, ⟨å⟩, that represents the phoneme /ɔ/, which among Ulmic languages is unique to Ormå. Additionally, the common digraphs ⟨sk⟩ and ⟨zg⟩ are pronounced /sˠ/ and /zˠ/ respectively, instead of /sk̚/ and /zg̚/ in other Ulmic languages like Pêrsir or Pailä.
