| that's the jokey element in Nurian (a Russian trying to imitate Tamil and sounding English in the process)
| |
| ===Consonants===
| |
| | |
| As a result of a series of historical palatalizations, Nurian has many consonants in hard (velarized) and soft (palatalized) versions, similar to Lithuanian and Russian. Radicals and /h/ cannot palatalize - however, they color the /a/ vowel as if they were soft.

| *Short /ɪ/ is lowered to [ɪ̞] after hard consonants.
| |
| *'''ia''' and '''e''' both represent [ɛ], the allophone of /ɐ/ after palatalized consonants.

| *[ə] occurs after word-final geminates.

| ===Stress===
| |
| *A short final vowel cannot be stressed
| |
| *Only one of the last 3 syllables can be stressed
| |
| *the last heavy syllable is stressed
| |
| *If no heavy syllables, the 3rd from last is stressed

| ==Grammar==
| |
| Somewhat unusually, Nurian is verb-final with prepositions and modifier-modified order.
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| Sgv-clv-plv system.
| |
| ==Dialects==
| |
| <poem>
| |
| hard <l> in Nurian in one dialect can be /w/ while soft <l> is /l/ (as in polish)
| |
| nurian has /ɫ/ /lʲ/ /ɭ/ but no ordinary /l/!
| |
| hard <l> = /l/, soft <l> = /j/ is like kashoebian
| |
| also considering ȝ ~ ng merger to /ŋ/ / /ɲ/
| |
| thus i will have /q/ > /ɲ/
| |
| another idea: v = /w/ / /j/
| |
| I should have <r> = /ɻ/ before a consonant in Standard Nurian
| |
| thus i'll have r-colored vowels!
| |
| it should be ok now that rencadian /r/ is a trill
| |
| that's how I could mix some English into Nurian!
| |
| but in a different way than how Rencadian does it
| |
| maybe one accent can lack retroflexes entirely and have r-colored vowels as phonemes instead!
| |
| another idea: soft f > palatal fricative?
| |
| for a dialect that does crazy things with slender consonants
