This occurs after laryngeals vocalize. Sometimes iotation causes compensatory lengthening ("CL") of the vowel before the iotated consonant: ''*bʰh₂nyoh₂'' 'I shine' > ''*bʰanjō'' > ''*bʰāňō'' > CIlith ''bháňů'' 'I explain, I state'.

Ilithian (gľaudhiſſká dažwá /ˈʝʎou̯ɟʱɪʃkaː ˈdaʒvaː/) is a classical IE language in Verse:Avishviya (Awiſſwigá), inspired by Czech, Sanskrit, Greek, and Proto-Celtic. It shares satemization and the ruki law with Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic.

Lots of compounding as in Sanskrit; sandhi?

Switch everything to Brethren spelling

Phonology

→ PoA
↓ Manner		 Labial Dental/Alveolar Postalveolar Palatal Velar Glottal
Nasal m /m/ n /n/ ň, ni /ɲ/ ŋ /ŋ/
Plosive tenuis p /p/ t /t/ č /tʃ/ ť /c/ k /k/
voiced b /b/ d /d/ dž /dʒ/ ď /ɟ/
breathy bh /bʱ/ dh /dʱ/ džh /dʒʱ/ ďh, dhi /ɟʱ/
Fricative unvoiced [f] s /s/ ſſ /ʃ/ [ç] ch /x/
voiced w /v/ ž /ʒ/ g /j~ʝ/ h /ɦ/
Liquid l /l/, r /r/ ř /(Czech ř)/ ľ /ʎ/

Consonants: identical to Czech (add ľ bh dh džh ďh, but h < gh), but j = [ʝ~ç]. No Auslautverhärtung.

Vowels: a e i u á é j ú ů eg au ág áu, acute = long vowel (u, ú, ů, ou, áu = u, ʉː, uː, ɔw, aːw), l ĺ r ŕ = syllabic liquids

PIE oey > eg

Pitch accent: Proto-Slavic style?

Palatals come from iotation or k g before e i (like PSlavic)

initial e- > je-

ē, eh1 > ý, iH > í

all é > ý in the "Prakrit", ý from older long e causes "second palatalization", ý from Classical Ilithian é causes "third palatalization"

mjs, mjnes- 'month'

ja > je?

Iotation

k g h t d dh p b bh v m n l r s > CL+č CL+dž CL+džh CL+ť CL+ď CL+ďh pg bg bhg wg mň CL+ň CL+ľ CL+ř CL+š

This occurs after laryngeals vocalize. Sometimes iotation causes compensatory lengthening ("CL") of the vowel before the iotated consonant: *bʰh₂nyoh₂ 'I shine' > *bʰanjō > *bʰāňō > CIlith bháňů 'I explain, I state'.

Nouns

Literary Ilithian nouns and adjectives are extremely conservative in that they retain all 8 PIE cases and the dual number (like Sanskrit). However, a lot of analogical leveling between noun paradigms has taken place.

Syntax

Ilithian has unmarked order SOV: 'The woman sings the song' is Džená ŋágma ŋáget. (Using ŋágma 'song' as an object of ŋágeti 'to sing' implies specificity. 'Sings a (nonspecific) song' would simply be ŋáget.)

Ilithian is topic-prominent, so the topic comes first:

  • džená ŋágma ŋáget = The woman sings the song (cf. Onna wa uta wo utau)
  • ŋágma ŋáget džená = The song is sung by a woman/The *woman* sings the song (cf. Uta wa onna ga utau)
  • žmenau dwů gstau = There are two people/Of people, there are two (cf. Hito wa futari ga iru)
  • tam ſſwů gest = He has a dog (cf. Jp. Kare wa inu ga iru)

The -č or -če Wackernagel clitic ('and' in Classical Ilithian) becomes an explicit topic particle in later descendants.

English (tr. Matthew Spinka)

REASONS FOR UNDERTAKING THE WANDERINGS. Having reached the age when human intelligence begins to distinguish between good and evil, and having seen the various classes, orders, callings, occupations, and professions that men engage in, it seemed to me highly desirable to consider well which of these groups of folk I should join and which profession I should choose for my life work.

Czech original (Komenský)

O PŘÍČINÁCH V SVĚT PUTOVÁNÍ. Když sem v tom věku byl, v kterémž se lidskému rozumu rozdíl mezi dobrým a zlým ukazovati začíná, vida já rozdílné mezi lidmi stavy, řády, povolání, práce a předsevzetí, jímiž se zanášejí, zdála se mi toho nemalá býti potřeba, abych se dobře, ke kterému bych se houfu lidí připojiti a v jakých věcech život stráviti měl, rozmyslil.
