| <!--
| |
| | |
| This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
| |
| | |
| I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
| |
| 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.

| <!-- Design goals, inspiration, ideas, who speaks it?, when was it created?, where does it come from?, any peculiarities? -->

| ==Phonology==
| |
| ===Orthography===
| |
| ===Consonants===
| |
| /m pʰ b f w n tʰ t˭ d θ ð ts s z ʂ j ŋ kʰ k˭ g x h l r/ {{angbr|''m p b f w n t tt d th dh ts s z sh y ng k kk g kh h l r''}}
| |
| | |
| Allophonic palatalization occurs before /i/ or /j/. /ŋ kʰ k˭ g x/ palatalize to alveolopalatals /ɲ tɕʰ dʑ tɕ ɕ/.
| |
| | |
| ===Vowels===
| |
| /a e i o u ə/ = {{angbr|''a e i o u ø''}}
| |
| | |
| Word-final i is silent and palatalizes the preceding consonant.

| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| <!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
| |
| ===Morphophonology===
| |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| <!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->

| <!-- Here are some example subcategories:

| Nouns
| |
| Adjectives
| |
| Verbs
| |
| Adverbs
| |
| Particles
| |
| Derivational morphology
| |
| | |

| |
| ===Nouns and adjectives===
| |
| Nouns are either masculine or feminine, and inflect for number. Adjectives agree with nouns in gender and number.
| |
| | |
| *The regular feminine singular suffix is -ø or -th.
| |
| *The regular masculine plural suffix is -i after consonants and -yø after vowels.
| |
| *The regular feminine plural is -uth.
| |
| | |
| køfor, køfori (m) = village, villages
| |
| | |
| bagbøg, bagbøgi (m) = bottle, bottles
| |
| | |
| i, iyø (m) = island, islands
| |
| | |
| gøfø, gøfuth (f) = corpse, corpses
