The day-to-day form, an interesting forced change happens here, where the original instrumental endings become particles, 'ö' for singular and 'iz' for plural. The dual forms are becoming quite rare, to the point they're not taught till considerably later than everything else.

Ravenish (autoglossonym: þiudiskon; Modern Ravenish aldon þiudiskon; Ravenish: [θiu̯.ðiʃ.kon]) is a Germanic language, with strong influence from Finnish. It is the result of a prolonged contact among members of both groups after the Ravenish tribe migrated to the area that is now North Ostrobothnia. These connections slowly formed the modern language, which, under influence of Finnish for centuries, led to the innovation of several new forms, such as a conditional verb form and definiteness distinctions in nouns.

While its vocabulary derives for the most part from Proto-Germanic, there is significant Finnish influence in its phonology, grammar, and lexicon

Introduction

Goals

  • Fun
  • Learn more Germanic
  • Learn more Finnish

Setting

Inspiration

  • Finnish
  • Proto-Germanic
  • My love for old Germanic languages

Etymology

The language name derives from the same source as German Deutsch, þiudiskaz. The English name is in reference to a cultural aspect of the people, their unusually large reverence for Ravens, they place an oddly high importance on Ravens even for a Germanic tribe.

Consonants

Consonants have remained relatively close to Proto-Germanic, except for the few stops that had fricative allophones, these shifted fully to fricatives, the opposite of all other Germanic langs, the Velar fricatives also shifted to Uvular.

Consonant phonemes
Labial Dental alveolar post-
alveolar 		palatal Velar
/Uvular
Nasal m n (ŋ)¹, ŋʷ²
Stop p t̪, t̪ʷ k, kʷ
Fricative f v θ ð s, sʷ z (ʃ)³ (ʒ)⁴ χ, χʷ ʁ, ʁʷ
Approximant w l̥ l j
Trill r̥ r
  1. allophone of /n/ before /k/
  2. allophone of /n/ before /kʷ/
  3. allophone of /s/ before velars and at word ends
  4. allophone of /z/ before velars and at word ends, in modern colloquial forms this has roticized to /r/

Vowels

Vowels divert from PG more than the consonants, they've shifted closer to Finnish, also gaining harmony from Finnish.

Vowel phonemes
Front Back
unrounded rounded unrounded rounded
short long short long short long short long
Close i iː y yː u uː
mid e eː ø øː ɤ ɤː o oː
Open æ æː ɑ ɑː

Diphthongs

Sound Changes from OR

Overlong /ɑ/ to /æ/, overlong /e/ to /ɤ/

Prosody

Stress

Stress, like in PG, still lies solely on the first syllable unless prefixed, where stress moves with the root word.

Intonation

Phonotactics

Morphophonology

Morphology

Take ALL forms with '?' with caution, the proto-Germanic form is unknown so this is me doing very, VERY basic comparisons to figure out a Possible form.

Pronouns

Nominative Accusative Genitive Dative
