Ormå(ormå pippi; Ormå: [ormɔ ˈpip.pi]) is a language spoken by the Ormå people of the Ormå Nation. 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.
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.

Stress
Ormå has no stress pattern, though most speakers tend to go towards paroxytonic stress.
Morphology
Nouns
Gender
Ormå has four grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, passive neuter and active neuter. The distinction between passive and active neuter is quite vague, though the general pattern is that if it is a countable geographical feature that moves by itself, such as a river(mittä), it is active and if not, like a watershed(nncẽ), it is passive. However, some words, like krỹse("snowy mountain"), which would logically be passive, is actually active, because in Ormå mythology, the God of Snowy Mountains, Ukkäjan, supposedly causes avalanches to deter climbers of Mount Kakkijajå, thus making snowy mountains active deterers of climbers. Many of these logical exceptions in the neuter gender are rooted in Ormå mythology.
Number
Ormå, like all Ulmic languages, differentiates between single, dual and plural grammatical number, which vary according to the four grammatical genders of masculine, feminine, passive neuter and active neuter.
Singular | Dual | Plural | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Masculine | thåsk "rock" |
thåski | thåskir | |
Feminine | skyd "bulb" |
skydje | skydjus | |
Neuter | Passive | nncẽ "watershed" |
nncẽmmi | nncẽmmä |
Active | mittä "river" |
mittäpyr | mittäfyr |
Pronouns
Demonstrative
Demonstrative pronouns in Ormå are placed after the noun and fall into three categories: adjacent(next to something), near and far. For example, thåsk khe means "the rock next to [me]", skydje nhus means "these two bulbs" and mittäfyr käller means "those rivers (over there)".
Adjacent | Near | Far | |
---|---|---|---|
Singular | khe | khes | khest |
Dual | nhu | nhus | nhussr |
Plural | kär | källä | käller |
Strong verbs
Kokkra
Kokkra, "to be", is the main copula in Ormå. It has quite bizarre conjugation, though it is a very common verb.
Singular | Plural | ||

1st person | soor | sooråj | |
2nd person | stukk | stukkää | |
3rd person | Objects | skokke | skokkej |
