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 /ʔkʰ, hk, kŋ/ respectively.
- The dental stops d, t, n, which are pronounced /t, tʰ, n/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔtʰ, ht, tn/ respectively.
- The lateral affricates dλ, ξ, which are pronounced /tɬ, tɬʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔtɬʰ, htɬ/ respectively.
- The alveolar affricates dz, c, which are pronounced /ts, tsʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔtsʰ, 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 /ʔpʰ, 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 dž, č are pronounced /q, qʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔqʰ, hq/ respectively.
- Soft dž, č are pronounced /tʂ, tʂʰ/. When geminated they are pronounced /ʔtʂʰ, 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/
