Following the [[w:Dissolution of the Ottoman Empire|dissolution of the Ottoman Empire]] and during the [[w:Turkish War of Independence|Turkish War of Independence]], efforts were made to standardize and preserve the Jovlish language. During this period, a standardized script was created, grammar and pronunciation were codified, and educational and linguistic institutions were established, though these efforts were geographically limited to within the borders of Jovaia. | |||
Despite these efforts, the varieties spoken in Turkey and Georgia remained poorly documented and unstandardized, leading to an ongoing decline in speakers. | |||
==Etymology== | ==Etymology== | ||
Throughout their history, Jovlers were referred to by names such as "(east) English", "(west) Saxon", "Dutch", etc. The endonym {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"öggeş"}} (öggeş) and its derivatives come from Middle Jovlish "elggisć" /ˈɛu̯ɡɡɛʃ/, a common metathesized form of "egglisć" /ˈɛɡ(ː)lɛʃ/ ("English") which was one of the terms used by Jovlers to refer to themselves colloquially, aside from "seaxisć" /ˈsiɐ̯ksɛʃ/, "éaæ̈lisć" /ˈjɔu̯wælɛʃ/, "teutonisć" /ˈtɛu̯tɔnɛʃ/, and "łormánisć" /ʁɔrˈmɔu̯nɛʃ/. Both "elggisć" and "egglisć" ultimately are from Old English "[[wikt:Englisc#Old_English|englisċ]]", thus making {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"öggeş"}} (öggeş, "Jovlish") and {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"egleş"}} (egleş, "English") doublets. | |||
The exonym "jovlish" used in English and many other languages such as German "jovalisch", French "jovalais", Arabic "{{lang|ar|sc=ar|ياولي}}" (yāwiliyy), Greek "{{lang|el|sc=el|γεβαλικός}}" (gevalikós), and Russian "ювалский" (juvalskij) all trace to either Modern Jovlish {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"jóvleş"}} (jóvleş, "Jovlish (nationally)"), Early Modern Jovlish "''*jóvaleş''", or Middle Jovlish "éaæ̈lisć" /ˈjɔu̯wælɛʃ/. This endonym eventually fell out of use in favor of {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"öggeş"}} (öggeş) linguistically, but it is still used gentilicly such as in {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"Jóvaya"}} (Jóvaya, "Jovaia"). It comes from Early Middle Jovlish "éasægglisć" /ˈjɑːstˌæɡɡliʃ/, literally meaning "east english", in reference to their location relative to England and the English. | |||

The Old Jovlish writing standard was a direct continuation of the Late West Saxon standard used for the writing of Old English in the period prior to the [[w:Norman Conquest|Norman Conquest]]. [[w:Acute accent|Acutes]] were added and standardized on consonants ⟨ć, cǵ, ǵ, sć⟩ in order to distinguish /t͡ʃ, d͡ʒ, j, ʃ/, and on vowels to mark length. /ʁ/ was spelled etymologically by adding a stroke to ⟨g, r, l⟩, thus /jɑːʁ, çiɔ̯ʁt, jɑʁd/ were spelled ⟨éaǥ, heoɍt, eałd⟩ (< OE ⟨[[wikt:eage|eage]], [[wikt:heorte|heorte]], [[wikt:eald|eald]]⟩) respectively.

[[File:Jovlish handwritten.jpeg|thumb|right|handwritten sample of the Jovlish Script]] | |||
The modern '''Jovlish script''' (Jovlish: '''{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|öxhomhott}}''', öxhomhott), also known as the '''[https://lexiconga.com/86838032/92 Jelkyn] Script''' ('''{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|jöqkünhomhott}}''', jöqkünhomhott) or the '''Royal Script''' ('''{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|künhomhott}}''', künhomhott), was commissioned by Jelkyn Aşşīş II in order to increase literacy and accessibly of the Jovlish language, as part of a wider response to suppression efforts of the Jovlish language outside of Jovaia's borders. It was commisioned a couple decades before the Soviet invasion of Jovaia, and it would persist throughout the duration of [[w:World War II|Second World War]] and the [[w:Cold War|Cold War]], still seeing official and widespread common use throughout Jovaia. Most of its letters are direct derivations of the common Jovlish Latin lettering convention, or the common lettering style throughout Jovaia. This lettering convention was a collage of multiple different styles and sources, with some being continuations of the [[w:Insular script|Insular Style]] (such as ⟨[[File:T old jovlish 2.png|16px|frameless]]⟩ ← ⟨[[wikt:ꞇ#Old_English|ꞇ]]⟩ and ⟨[[File:R old jovlish 2.png|16px|frameless]]⟩ ← ⟨[[wikt:ꞃ#Old_English|ꞃ]]⟩), some being later adaptations (compare the insular-derived ⟨[[File:J old jovlish 2.png|16px|frameless]]⟩ ← ⟨[[wikt:ᵹ#Old_English|ᵹ]]⟩ with the later ⟨[[File:G old jovlish 2.png|16px|frameless]]⟩ ← ⟨ɢ⟩), and others being influenced by their [[w:Greek alphabet|Greek Script]] equivalents (such as ⟨[[File:B old jovlish 2.png|16px|frameless]]⟩ ← ⟨b, [[w:beta|β]]⟩). This writing style would be the main source for the letters of the new script (⟨{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|b, j, g, r, t, . . .}}⟩), alongside derivations from [[w:Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]] (⟨{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|ş}}⟩ ← ⟨[[w:sha (cyrillic)|ш]]⟩) and [[w:Greek alphabet|Greek]] (⟨{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|ψ}}⟩ ← ⟨[[w:psi (greek)|ψ]]⟩), blends (⟨{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|ŋ}}⟩ ← ⟨{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|n + g}}⟩), and artificial, newly-created letters (⟨{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|ı}}⟩).The wide adoption of the script effectively reformed Jovlish spelling to be much more phonemic. | |||

== | ===Failed proposals=== | ||
=== | ====Greek script==== | ||
Jovlish | During the Old Jovlish period, there were many proposals and attempts at writing Old Jovlish in the [[w:Greek alphabet|Greek script]] to further bring ties closer between [[w:Byzantine Empire under the Komnenos dynasty|Byzantium]] and Jovaia, among other reasons. These proposals never picked up significant speed due to the fact that most of them were either tied to bigger movements such as an official conversion to [[w:Eastern Orthodoxy|orthodoxy]] and/or further [[w:hellenization|hellenization]] of the kingdom or were simply popular with neither the common folk nor the aristocracy. | ||
These proposals were not standardized and differed in representing sounds not present in Byzantine Greek. Sounds such as [t͡ʃ], for example, were represented in a plethora of different ways, which varied by proposal. One common feature across these proposals however is the lack of apparent representation of vowel length, leaving it inferred in a given word. | |||

====Cyrillic script==== | |||
Although diplomatic relations with the Russians were mostly sour, proposals to shift Middle and Early Modern Jovlish into being written in Eastern Cyrillic were nonetheless constantly springing up, well into and after the Soviet invasion of Jovaia. These reforms, although reforming an orthography with much bigger and more common disparities between it and the spoken language, suffered from much of the same pitfalls as the Greek proposals that came before it, such as being tied to pro-russian or pro-[[w:russification|russification]] agendas. | |||

==Grammar== | |||
===Syntax=== | |||
Jovlish exhibits [[w:Subject–object–verb word order|subject–object–verb]] (SOV) word order by default, though in practice its word order is relatively flexible: | |||
* in declarative clauses, SOV is by far the most common word order. | |||

===Nominals=== | |||
====Pronouns==== | |||
=====Personal pronouns===== | |||
Jovlish pronouns decline for person, number, and gender. The old accusative and dative forms reduced and merged into [[w:Clitic#Enclitic|enclitics]] that attach to a given verb. It is also important to note that Jovlish is [[w:Pro-drop language|pro-drop]], meaning that its subject pronouns are omitted, and they are only used emphatically or [[w:Disjunctive pronoun|disjunctively]]. | |||

=====Articles and Relative Pronouns===== | |||
Both the definite article {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|i-}} (i-) and the relative pronoun {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|hé}} (hé) are doublets, diverging from Middle Jovlish demonstrative and pronoun "þé", which in-turn is ultimately from Old English "[[wikt:se#Old_English|sē, þē]]". As such ,they both decline in very similar ways. | |||
Middle Jovlish "þé" tended to have two pronunciations: an unstressed /ðɛ/ and a stressed /θɛi̯/. Initially, they were used interchangeably, though, over time, the unstressed pronunciation tended to be favored as the article, while the stressed pronunciation tended to be favored as the pronoun. | |||

====Nouns==== | |||
Jovlish nouns have lost distinct forms for most of the noun cases and currently decline only for two case groupings: '''Direct''' (nominative, accusative) and '''Oblique''' (dative, genitive), themselves being only distinguished in the singular. Nouns are grouped into one of four declensions, regardless of gender: | |||
* '''<span style="color:red">1st declension</span> nouns''', oblique by root ablaut or {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|-(e)s}} (-(e)s), equivalent to Old English a-, i-, ō-, and u-stem nouns. | |||
* '''<span style="color:blue">2nd declension</span> nouns''', oblique by {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|-(e)n}} (-(e)n), equivalent to Old English n-stem nouns. | |||
* '''<span style="color:green">3rd declension</span> nouns''', plural by {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|-re}} (-re), oblique by {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|-s}} (-s), equivalent to Old English r- and z-stem nouns. | |||
* '''<span style="color:purple">4th declension</span> nouns''', plural and oblique irregular, equivalent to Old English ablauting consonant stem nouns and nouns with irregular forms. | |||
