Idavic (from reconstructed Proto-Idavic *ʔidawi 'person') is a Trician language family which includes Dodellic. The urheimat is central-western Etalocin. Proto-Idavic is inspired by Proto-Hebrew and Proto-Balto-Slavic.
Proto-Idavic grammar was very similar to that of Classical Netagin. Modern Idavic languages native to Etalocin have various typologies depending on the sprachbund.
Family tree
- Idavic
Phonology
Consonants
Proto-Idavic had about 28 consonants and had a distinction between front and back coronals and front and back velars.
| Labial | Front coronal | Back coronal | Front velar | Labiovelar | Back velar | Glottal | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m /m/ | n /n̪~n̠/ | ŋ /ɲ~ŋ/ | |||||
| Plosive | voiceless | p /p/ | t /t̪/ | ť /t̠/ | ḱ /k̟/ | kʷ /kʷ/ | k /k̠/ | ʔ /ʔ/ |
| voiced | b /b/ | d /d̪/ | ď /d̠/ | ǵ /g̟/ | gʷ /gʷ/ | g /g̠/ | ||
| Fricative | s /s̟/ | š /s̠/ | x́ /x̟/ | xʷ /xʷ/ | x /x̠/ | |||
| Affricate | c /t̪s̟/ | č /t̠s̠/ | ||||||
| Resonant | w /w/ | l /l̪/ | r /r/, ľ /ɺ/ | y /j/ | ||||
s c were lamino-dental, and š č were retracted apico-alveolar.
Vowels
Proto-Idavic had a vowel system similar to that of Proto-Balto-Slavic.
| Front | Back | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| short | long | short | long | |
| Close | i /ɪ/ | ī /i:/ | u /ʊ/ | ū /u:/ |
| Open | e /æ/ | ē /æ:/ | a /ɑ/ | ā /ɑ:/ |
Diphthongs: ay aw ey ew /ɑj ɑw ɛj ɛw/
Suprasegmentals
Morphology
Triconsonantal but only Netagin preserves this
Intransitive and transitive forms turn into agent-oriented vs patient oriented in Netagin; most other Idavic languages retain only one of the intransitive and transitive forms.
Proto-Idavic had only one true preposition, *mi. Other meanings expressed with prepositions in English were indicated with verbs.
