'''Hatzonian''' ([[w:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]: [{{IPA|had͡zoniən}}]) is a Kardonian language spoken on the planet of Hatzon. It is spoken by about 250,000,000 people, being the official language of {{term|Taroday}} and the primary basis for the common language of the Kardon Empire, [[Common Kardonian]].


==Introduction==
==Introduction==
Rokadong is my first conlang, first started in 2020 as part of my worldbuilding projects. Specifically, it is linked to my project "Drawn to AfterLife," though the language itself may see use in my other projects. It is one of the three notable languages of DTAL, alongside the as-yet very incomplete Nentan language [[Kairitelan]] and Gomensayan language [[Liðakuin]].
Hatzonian is my second(?) conlang, first started in 2023 as part of my worldbuilding projects, though originally [[Liðakuin]] was going to be used in its place. Specifically, it is linked to my project "National Mana League," as well as [https://pkmnrisu.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page my Pokémon AU], though the language itself may see use in my other projects.


Rokadong, like all of my serious conlangs, is meant to be similar to natural languages in terms of scope. It is primarily inspired by [[w:Malay language|Malay]], but also draws significant inspiration from [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[w:Japanese language|Japanese]].

==Etymology==
==Etymology==
''Rokadong'' is a contraction of "dong to rokasela," meaning "Rokasela's language." ''Rokasela'' refers to the six major islands of the Acrylla Archipelago, where Rokadong originated, and apocryphally, may also refer to the six extensions from the core of a kanva's body: two arms, two legs, a head, and a tail.

===Stress===
===Stress===
Rokadong is a dynamic-accent language. Stressed syllables are louder than non-stressed syllables.
Hatzonian is a dynamic-accent language. Stressed syllables are louder and longer than non-stressed syllables.


Stress is phonemic in Rokadong. This is indicated with an acute accent on the vowel (the first one of the pair in digraphs).
Stress is phonemic in Hatzonian. In romanization, this is indicated with an acute accent on the vowel (the first one of the pair in digraphs).


===Phonotactics===
===Phonotactics===
Rokadong is a (C)(C)V(A) language, where A represents any of the consonants in the Approximant row of the phoneme table above. The allowed CC sequences are any nasal or the sibilant /s/ followed by a plosive, the same consonant twice (though if it is an ejective, the first consonant of the pair is not), and either the plain or aspirated alveolar stops followed by a sibilant (though these become the alveolar affricates /ts tsʰ dz/).
Hatzonian is a (C)(C)V(A) language, where A represents any of the consonants in the Approximant row of the phoneme table above. The allowed CC sequences are the corresponding nasal or the sibilant /s/ followed by a plosive, the same consonant twice (though if it is an ejective, the first consonant of the pair is plain), any non-ejective plosive followed by the alveolar trill /r/ or the non-lateral approximants /j w/, and either the plain or aspirated alveolar stops followed by a sibilant (though these become the alveolar affricates /ts tsʰ dz/). Beginning nasals have a tendency to blur syllables together, bunching up with the prior vowel phonetically in many dialects, but in some dialects, it is more parsimonious to regard it as prenasalization, and as such it is not considered a coda consonant phonemically.

===Nouns===
Nouns decline for case and number in Hatzonian. While nouns have grammatical gender, this only matters for the adjectives used to describe them - the endings used only depend on the final vowel of the noun. For regular nouns, the final vowel laxens in the accusative and dative. Here is an example word to show this, {{term|kíra}}:
{{Hatz-noun-conjugation|kíra|kíram|kíreol|kíreolim|kírato|kíratom|kíreolda|kíreoldam}}
Hatzonian nouns have one of three genders. For the purposes of English-language discussion, these genders will be called masculine, feminine, and neuter.
===Verbs===
Verbs in their infinitive always end in the vowel ''u''. The vowel changes in several of the conjugations. Here is an example word to show this, {{term|kádu}}:
{{Hatz-verb-conjugation|kádu|kádil|kádam|kadurnyá|kádol|kádollya|kadurnyéo|kadó|kadúra|kadála}}
