Tizian (amysso tízimso /aˈmʉsso tʰiˈzimso/)

Phonology

Tizian consonants
Labial Coronal Lateral Velar Radical Glottal

Plosive voiceless p t k ʡ

Lateral app. l

Word-finally consonant aspiration is realized as aspirated or released consonants. Medial voiced aspirated consonants may be prenasalized in less careful speech.

Nouns

Four numbers are used in Tizian: generic, partitive, singulative and plurative. The generic number refers to an unspecified member or members of a set or to the whole set. The partitive number is used with quantifiers and also with the meaning "some X". Singulative and plurative respectively denote one and multiple specific items.

Possession

Possession is marked on the possessum with a possessive suffix (possessum-suffix possessor) if and only if said possessum is definite. Indefinite possessa are unmarked.

Pronouns

The first person singular can be used as an impersonal pronoun.

  • 1s: no
  • 2s: i
  • 3s.an: ðe
  • 3s.inan: ŧé
  • 1p.ex: cho
  • 1p.in: wéen
  • 2p: sló
  • 3p.an: ðu
  • 3p.inan: ŧú

Verbs

Split ergativity

The ergative particle le is used before an ergative noun phrase. The default alignment is ergative, with 1st and 2nd person arguments inducing nominative/accusative alignment on both nouns and verbs; only 1st and 2nd person patients can be passivized, and only 3rd person agents can be antipassivized.
