| 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.

| ===Morphophonology===
| |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| | |
| Pandoga uses a consonantal root system like the Semitic languages. Most roots have three consonants but some may have two or four (the latter occurs mostly in reduplicated or onomatopoeic roots like J-Ṇ-J-Ṇ "to glitter")
| |
| | |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| | |
| There is no grammatical gender in Pandoga, even in pronouns.
| |
| | |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| | |
| Pandoga verbs come in many binyanim: [list]
| |
| | |
| Each binyan has a conjugated form for the perfective aspect, as well as active and passive participles, a conjunctive and a verbal noun. Binyanim are typically named by the active participial form of the root P-R-H.
| |
| | |
| ====Binyan ''PaRoHa''====
| |
| | |
| This is the simplest binyan which expresses the basic meaning of a root. Here is a typical PaRoHa verb, ''paṇoba'' (write):
| |
| | |
| *Perfective conjugation ''paṇabo-'' (active), ''capṇabo-'' (passive)
| |
| *Active participle ''paṇoba''
| |
| *Passive participle ''capṇoba''
| |
| *Conjunctive ''paṇaboṭi'', ''capṇaboṭi''
| |
| *Verbnoun ''paṇba''
| |
| | |
| The personal affixes are as follows:
| |
| | |
| {| class="bluetable lightbluebg " style="width: 350px; text-align: center;"
| |
| |-
| |
| !colspan="4" |
| |

| |
| !style="width: 100px; "|Singular
| |
| !style="width: 100px; "|Plural
| |

| |
| !|1
| |
| |''-ṇa''
| |
| |''-ṇara'' (inclusive), ''-ṇi'' (exclusive)
| |
| |-
| |
| !|2
| |
| |''-ra''
| |
| |''-ri''
| |
| |-
| |
| !|2
| |
| |''-ta''
| |
| |''-ti''
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ====Binyan ''PaReHa''====
| |
| | |
| This generally expresses an ''intensive'' meaning, though in some cases it works like a causative or an applicative. It's also commonly used to verb nominal and adjectival roots. An example: "paṇeba" (to take notes)
| |
| | |
| *Perfective conjugation ''paṇabe-'' (active), ''capṇabe-'' (passive)
| |
| *Active participle ''paṇeba''
| |
| *Passive participle ''capṇeba''
| |
| *Conjunctive ''paṇabeṭi'', ''capṇabeṭi''
| |
| *Verbnoun ''piṇba''
| |
| | |
| ====Defective binyanim====
| |
| | |
| Pandoga has a few binyanim which do not have conjugated and/or participial forms. An example is the binyan ''malPaRaHo-'' which is analogous to the German prefix ''er-''
| |
| | |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| Unlike most Semitic languages, Pandoga is head-final and SVO (though SOV is also permissible).
