Dry Icelandic is a language in the Ftseezhic branch of the Mustlup family. It is inspired by Icelandic and Scottish Gaelic. The Hussmauch counterpart to this language is Nurian.

Phonology

Consonants

Dry Icelandic uses the following consonants:

  • The velar stops g, k, ŋ, which are pronounced /k, kʰ, ŋ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔk, hk, kŋ/ respectively.
  • The dental stops d, t, n, which are pronounced /t, tʰ, n/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔt, ht, tn/ respectively.
  • The lateral affricates , ξ, which are pronounced /tɬ, tɬʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔtɬ, htɬ/ respectively.
  • The alveolar affricates dz, c, which are pronounced /ts, tsʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔts, hts/ respectively.
  • The fricatives h, σ, s, which are pronounced /x, ɬ, s/ respectively.
  • The labials b, p, m, which are pronounced /p, pʰ, m/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔp, hp, pm/ respectively.
  • The resonants l, r, v, j pronounced /l, r, v, j/. When geminated they are pronounced /tl, tr, kv, c/ respectively.

The majority of consonants come in expected plain and palatalized pairs. Exceptions are noted here:

  • Hard , č are pronounced /q, qʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔq, hq/ respectively.
  • Soft , č are pronounced /tʂ, tʂʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔtʂ, htʂ/ respectively.
  • Hard þ, ð, š are pronounced /h, ɣ, χ/ respectively.
  • Soft þ, ð, š are pronounced /ɕ, ʑ, ʂ/ respectively.
  • Soft f, v are pronounced /ç, j/ respectively. (Soft v behaves identically to j.)

Vowels

Dry Icelandic has 2 short vowels and 5 long vowels.

  • Short vowels: a ja y i = /a ʲa i ʲi/
  • Long vowels: á já é jé ý í ó jó ú jú = /aː ʲaː ia ʲia iː ʲiː ua ʲua uː ʲuː/
