This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
 
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

Diphthongs: /ai/ /au/ (written ''ai au'' respectively)
 
===Phonotactics===
Only CV syllables are allowed, except:
*a geminate consonant can begin a non-initial syllable (gemination is indicated in the orthography by doubling the consonant letter; geminate ''ng'' and ''NG'' are written ''nng'' and ''NNG'' respectively)
*CVC is allowed as the last syllable
 
===Stress===
Stress is almost always on the first long syllable, or if no syllable is long, the last syllable in the Rencadic dialect and the first syllable in the Luminese dialect.
 
===Morphophonology===
==Morphology==
Proto-Pulchric has an extremely simple morphology, almost completely isolating.
===Nouns===
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ''Baira'' "leaf" !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| Nominative || ''Baira'' || ''Baira emmi''
|-
| Accusative || ''Baira ta'' || ''Baira emmi ta''
|-
| Genitive || ''Baira i'' || ''Baira emmi i''
|}
 
Proto-Pulchric has other postpositions as well: ''mi'' (in), ''ro'' (with), ''po'' (like), ...
 
===Verbs===
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ''ki:No-'' "to think" !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| Nominative || ''ki:Non'' || ''ki:Nome''
|-
| Accusative || ''ki:Nod'' || ''ki:Note''
|-
| Genitive || ''ki:Nob'' || ''ki:Nowa''
|}
 
Proto-Pulchric often uses verbal nouns, which use the suffix ''-a:t'' or ''-or'' depending on the verb.
