This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
'''Solerian''' (''Armenian'': '''Սօլէ́ր''', ''Latin'': '''Soléṟ''', [[IPA for Solerian|/solˈeɹ/]]) is a highly alveolarized language, with a moderately large consonant inventory, and 15 grammatical cases. It is spoken by no one as it is still under construction and, for the same reasons, it has no native speakers. Its origin traces back to January 2013 and it still has a long way to go. Its bigger peculiarity might be the presence of speech function markers (statement/question/command/offer/irony) realized by click consonants.


I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
==Overview==
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

The phonemes /b/, /d/, and /ɡ/ are realized as approximants (namely [β̞, ð̞, ɣ̞], hereafter represented without the undertack) or fricatives in all places except after a pause, after a nasal consonant, or —in the case of /d/— after a lateral consonant; in such contexts they are realized as voiced stops.

The phoneme /n/ is realized as a voiced velar nasal [ŋ] before velar /k/, /g/ or uvular /χ/, /ʀ/.
The phoneme /n/ is realized as a voiced velar nasal [ŋ] before velar /k/, /g/ and /x/.
 
The phoneme /ɟ/ is realized as an plosive in all contexts except after a pause, a nasal, or a lateral. In these environments, it may be realized as an affricate ([ɟʝ]).

==Morphology==
In Solerian, as well as in the rest of languages, there are different types of words: ''Nouns, adjetives, verbs…''
 
===Nouns===
 
Nouns are words used to designate people, animals, ideas, concepts and so on.
Some examples:
 
* '''€€€''': house
* '''€€€''': child
* '''€€€''': freedom
 
There are two kinds of names:
 
* Common nouns: €€€
* Proper nouns: €€€
 
==Grammar==
 
===Gender and number===
 
Nouns in Solerian can be '''abstract''', '''inanimate''', or '''animate'''.
 
* '''Abstract gender''' englobes ideas, actions or abstractions: ''race'', ''jump'', ''freedom''.
* '''Inanimate gender''' refers to tangible non-living beings: ''stone'', ''sun'', ''window''.
* '''Animate gender''' unites living beings: ''bird'', ''person'', ''doctor''.
** Although it is not required, '''sex''' can be specified by adding to the noun the suffix ''-ə'' for masculine, and ''-ɛ'' for femenine nouns.
 
Regarding number, there are three categories nouns can fall in:
* '''Singular''', portraying only one entity: ''The car'', ''a cat''.
* '''Dual''', for natural pairs: ''eyes'', ''the couple'', ''a pair of trousers''.
* '''Plural''', for two or more entities: ''The cars'', ''four women''.

===Numerals===
 
Solerial numeral system is heavily decimal. Numbers are arranged in sets:
 
* '''Pom''': numbers from 0 to 9.
* '''Daki''': sets of ten, or denaries (all the x*10 numbers).
* '''Fentv''': sets of hundred (all the x*10<sup>2</sup> numbers).
* '''Иare''': sets of thousand (all the x*10<sup>3</sup> numbers).
* '''Xvsti''': sets of million (all the x*10<sup>6</sup> numbers).
* '''Яaze''': sets of trillion (all the x*10<sup>12</sup> numbers).

This article contains IPA phonetic symbols. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Unicode characters. For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA.

Solerian (Armenian: Սօլէ́ր, Latin: Soléṟ, /solˈeɹ/) is a highly alveolarized language, with a moderately large consonant inventory, and 15 grammatical cases. It is spoken by no one as it is still under construction and, for the same reasons, it has no native speakers. Its origin traces back to January 2013 and it still has a long way to go. Its bigger peculiarity might be the presence of speech function markers (statement/question/command/offer/irony) realized by click consonants.

Phonetic notes

The phonemes /b/, /d/, and /ɡ/ are realized as approximants (namely [β̞, ð̞, ɣ̞], hereafter represented without the undertack) or fricatives in all places except after a pause, after a nasal consonant, or —in the case of /d/— after a lateral consonant; in such contexts they are realized as voiced stops.

The phoneme /n/ is realized as a voiced velar nasal [ŋ] before velar /k/, /g/ and /x/.

The phoneme /ɟ/ is realized as an plosive in all contexts except after a pause, a nasal, or a lateral. In these environments, it may be realized as an affricate ([ɟʝ]).

Nouns

Nouns are words used to designate people, animals, ideas, concepts and so on. Some examples:

Nouns in Solerian can be abstract, inanimate, or animate.

  • Abstract gender englobes ideas, actions or abstractions: race, jump, freedom.
  • Inanimate gender refers to tangible non-living beings: stone, sun, window.
  • Animate gender unites living beings: bird, person, doctor.
    • Although it is not required, sex can be specified by adding to the noun the suffix -ə for masculine, and -ɛ for femenine nouns.

Regarding number, there are three categories nouns can fall in:

  • Singular, portraying only one entity: The car, a cat.
  • Dual, for natural pairs: eyes, the couple, a pair of trousers.
  • Plural, for two or more entities: The cars, four women.
