===Etymology===
Modern Phrygian βρουζ̌ικιά ''vružigyá'' < Ancient Phrygian βρυγικά ''brugikā́'' (cognate with Ancient Greek φρυγική ''pʰrygikḗ'').

===Features===
*PIE aspirated stops became plain voiced stops.
*PIE voiced stops were devoiced in some conditions and preserved as voiced in others.
*PIE voiceless stops were mostly preserved, but were aspirated in some conditions.
*Like Greek, voiced and aspirated stops were later fricatized.
*Initial ''w-'' preserved (as ''v-'') except before ''o''.
**New ''w'' also became ''v'', or ''f'' after voiceless consonants (e.g. '''βαίνα''' ''véna'' "hyena" < '''ουαίνα''' ''wéna'' < '''ύαινα''' ''(h)úaina''; '''τφω''' ''tfo'' "two" < '''τουω''' ''two'' < '''τύω''' ''túō'').
*''nt'' > ''nn''
*Early ''Vns'' > ''Vis''
*Early palatalization of velars before front vowels to alveolar fricatives.
*All labiovelars became plain velars.
*Second palatalization of velars before front vowels to postalveolars.
*Third palatalization of velars adjacent to front vowels to palatals.
*In obstruent clusters (except for ''s'' + consonant), the second consonant becomes a fricative.
**Earlier /ʝ/ and /ç/ (from fricatization of original /i, e/ before other vowels) behaves as an obstruent in this situation, causing a preceding fricative to become a stop. They also become postalveolar after dental stops.
***Note that this is often reversed by analogy.
**The former also applies to /f/ and /v/ from fricatization of original /u/ before a vowel.
*Assimilation of ''s'' to following voiceless consonant in consonant clusters (except word-initially, where metathesis occurs instead).
**/ç/ (from fricatization of original /i, e/ after /s/ before other vowels) behaves as an obstruent in this situation, becoming a stop /c/. /sc/ then assimilates to /c/ intervocalically, while metathesizing to /kʃ/ initially.
***Note that this is often reversed by analogy.
**/f/ (from fricatization of original /u/ in the above positions) similarly becomes a stop /p/, which merges with /s/ intervocalically and metathesizes to /ps/ initially.
**Loss of /s/ in /s/ + voiced consonant clusters
*In obstruent + nasal clusters:
**Intervocalically: obstruent becomes nasal
**Initially: nasal becomes fricative (/n/ > /ʃ, ʒ/; /m/ > /f, v/) and obstruent becomes stop (if not one already).
*In obstruent + /l/ clusters, /l/ becomes /ʃ, ʒ/ and obstruent becomes stop (if not one already).
*Intervocalic partial voicing of non-geminated voiceless stops.
*Voicing of voiceless stops after nasals
*Loss of phonemic gemination, but traces preserved.
**Lack of intervocalic voicing of original geminated stops.
**Final ''-n'' > nasalization, but ''-nn'' > ''-n''

Vowels in hiatus may be pronounced as rising diphthongs if that the first vowel is a high vowel.
When two adjacent vowels that normally form a digraph are in hiatus or form a diphthong, this is indicated with a diaresis on the second vowel, which is invariably ⟨ι⟩ or ⟨υ⟩.
A diaresis is not used if the first vowel has an accent, since that precludes the possibility of it being a digraph.
A diaresis can also be used on unaccented ⟨ι⟩ before other vowels in order to indicate hiatus when it would otherwise be pronounced as a consonant. This can also be done with initial ⟨ου⟩ (which is written ⟨ο̈υ⟩), but the latter is rare.
=====Stress=====
Primary stress is always indicated in multisyllabic words via an acute accent. Monosyllabic words do not indicate stress.
When a syllable with a false diphthong (i.e. αι, ει, οι, υι, αυ, ευ, ηυ) is stressed, the accent is always written on the second vowel letter.
When a syllable with a true diphthong is stressed, the accent is written on the nucleus of the diphthong (i.e. the first vowel letter).

=====Diphthongs=====
=====Diphthongs and hiatus=====
Diphthongs are formed by following a vowel with ⟨ι⟩, ⟨υ⟩, or ⟨ου⟩ (for /i/, /i/, and /u/ respectively).
Falling diphthongs are formed by following a non-high vowel with a high vowel.


=====Hiatus=====
The following falling diphthongs are possible: ''ai, au, ei, eu, oi, ou''.
When two adjacent vowels that normally form a "false diphthong" (i.e. a monophthong written with two vowel letters) are in hiatus or form a diphthong, this is indicated with a diaresis on the second vowel, which is invariably ⟨ι⟩ or ⟨υ⟩.


A diaresis is not used if the first vowel has an accent, since that precludes the possibility of it being a false diphthong.
Vowels in hiatus may be pronounced as rising diphthongs if that the first vowel is a high vowel.


=====Stress=====
=====Stress=====
Primary stress is always indicated in multisyllabic words via an acute accent.
Primary stress is always indicated in multisyllabic words via an acute accent.


When a syllable with a false diphthong (i.e. αι, ει, οι, υι, αυ, ευ, ηυ) is stressed, the accent is always written on the second vowel letter.
When a syllable with a diphthong is stressed, the accent is written on the nucleus of the diphthong (i.e. the first vowel letter).-->
 
===Consonants===
<!--
====Stop and affricate consonants====
The following consonant sets exist:
{| class="wikitable"

|-
! Bilabial stops
| π¹ || ππ || π² || π³
|-

'''Conditions:'''
 
¹ Word-initial.
 
² Between vowels; after liquids before vowels.


When a syllable with a true diphthong is stressed, the accent is written on the nucleus of the diphthong (i.e. the first vowel letter).
³ After nasals.


===Consonants===
These sets are pronounced as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
! Type 1 !! Standard dialect !! Alternate dialect
|-
! Voiceless 1
| unvoiced (e.g. [t]) || unvoiced (e.g. [t])
|-
! Voiceless 2
| unvoiced (e.g. [t]) || aspirated (e.g. [tʰ])
|-
! Voiced 1
| partially voiced (e.g. [d̥]) || unvoiced (e.g. [t])
|-
! Voiced 2
| fully voiced (e.g. [d]) || fully voiced (e.g. [d]) with weakening of preceding nasal
|-
|}
'''Notes:'''
*"Voiced 1" is not considered a separate phoneme. In the standard dialect, it is considered the same phoneme as "voiced 2". In the alternate dialect, it is considered the same phoneme as "voiceless 1".
*In the case of "voiced 2" (i.e. post-nasal), the preceding nasal is partly or completely dropped in the alternate dialect. In other words, standard [nd] is pronounced [ⁿd] or even [d]. In the standard dialect, the nasal is fully pronounced.
*When a postclitic beginning in a "voiceless 1" consonant is preceded by a nasal, the consonant becomes "voiced 2" (but this is not indicated in writing).

===Nouns===
Nouns may be one of three genders: masculine, feminine, or neuter.
====Cases====
Nouns are declined for four cases:
*'''Nominative'''
*'''Genitive'''
*'''Oblique'''
*'''Vocative'''
The cases are used similarly as they are in Ancient Greek, with oblique covering the roles of accusative and dative. Most prepositions take an oblique object.
====Stress====
Nouns retain their stress on the same syllable throughout their declensions as far as possible.
There are a few irregular nouns that shift their stress.
====Citation form====
The citation form for most nouns is: ''nominative singular, genitive singular''.
====First declension (a-stems)====
First declension nouns are most often feminine. Neuter first declension nouns are rare.
The endings are as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|+ First declension endings
! rowspan="2"|Case !! colspan="3" | Singular !! colspan="3"| Plural
|-
! M !! F !! N !! M !! F !! N
|-
! Nominative

! Oblique
| colspan="2" | -αν || -α || colspan="2"|-αις || -α
|-
! Vocative
| colspan="3" | -α || colspan="2"|-αι || -α
|}
====Second declension (o-stems)====
Feminine declension nouns are rare.
The endings are as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Second declension endings
! rowspan="2"|Case !! colspan="2" | Singular !! colspan="2"| Plural
|-
! M/F !! N !! M/F !! N
|-

|-
! Oblique
| -ουν || -ο || -οις || -α
|-
! Vocative
| -ε || -ο || -οι || -α
|-
|}
====Third declension====
There are three sub-classes of third declension nouns: consonant stems, i-stems, and mixed stems.
=====Consonant stems=====
Consonant stems often have unpredictable nominative singular forms. These may alternate with forms in ''-ας'' (masc./fem.) or ''-α'' (neut.).
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Consonant stem endings
! rowspan="2"|Case !! colspan="2" | Singular !! colspan="2"| Plural

|-
! Oblique
| -αν || -α/-/... || -ες || -α
|-
! Vocative
| -ας/-/... || -α/-/... || -ες || -α
|-
|}
=====i-stems=====
Similarly to consonant stems, i-stems may have irregular nominative singular forms, which may alternate with regular forms.
{| class="wikitable"
|+ i-stem endings
! rowspan="2"|Case !! colspan="2" | Singular !! colspan="2"| Plural

|-
! Oblique
| -ιν || -ι/-ος/-/... || -ες || -ια
|-
! Vocative
| -ις/-/... || -ι/-ος/-/... || -ες || -ια
|-
|}
=====Mixed stems=====
Mixed stems are declined similarly to i-stems, but ''-ι-'' is dropped before vowels. Again, mixed stems may have irregular nominative singular forms.
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Mixed stem endings
! rowspan="2"|Case !! colspan="2" | Singular !! colspan="2"| Plural

|-
! Oblique
| -ιν || -ι/-/... || -ες || -α
|-
! Vocative
| -ις/-/... || -ι/-/... || -ες || -α
|-
|}
===Pronouns===
====Personal pronouns====
Personal pronouns have strong and weak forms.
{|class="wikitable"
|+ First and second person pronouns
! rowspan="2"| !! colspan="2" | Nominative !! colspan="2"| Genitive !! colspan="2"| Oblique !! rowspan="2" | Possessive

|-
! 2P
| εβές || βες || εβιούν || βω ||εβές || βω || βωμός, -ά, -ό
|-
|}
Third person pronouns are declined as regular first/second declension adjectives with the following citation forms:
*'''Strong:''' απθός, -ά, -ό
*'''Weak:''' θος, -α, -ο
*'''Reflexive:''' βαπθός, -ά, -ό
====Definite article/pronoun====
Declined as a 1st/2nd declension adjective: ''τος, τα, το''.
Follows the substantive it modifies. Can also be used as an independent pronoun.
====Indefinite pronoun====
Declined as the definite pronoun with initial ''τ-'' replaced with ''κ-''.
====Relative pronoun====
Declined as the definite pronoun with initial ''τ-'' replaced with ''γι-''.
====Demonstrative pronouns====
*'''Near demonstrative:''' σεμός, -ά, -ό
**First/second declension
*'''Middle demonstrative:''' σις, σα, σι, σους
**First/third declension (mixed stem)
*'''Far demonstrative:''' τόττος, -α, -ο
**First/second declension
These can be used with a following noun or on their own.
===Adjectives===
====First/second declension====
Declined as second declension in masculine and neuter, and first declension in feminine.
This is the most common class of adjectives.
The citation form is ''masculine nominative singular, feminine nominative singular, neuter nominative singular''.
'''Examples:'''
*πρώτος, -α, -ο "first"
====First/third declension====

====Second declension====

====Third declension====
Declined as third declension in all genders.
The citation form is normally ''masculine/feminine nominative singular, neuter nominative singular, genitive singular''
The exceptions are the numerals ''τρες, τρια'' "three" and ''τσ̌έττερες, τσ̌έττερα'' "four", which do not have singular forms. Their citation forms are ''masculine/feminine nominative plural, neuter nominative plural''.
====Usage====
Adjectives can be used in the following ways:
#'''Attributive:''' In this case, the adjective generally follows its noun. Alternatively, it may precede the noun.
#'''Predicative:''' Used as a predicate.
#'''Substantive:''' Used on its own without a noun, generally with a definite article.
<!--Note: I made the definite article, as well as adjectives, follow the nouns they govern. I actually have some justification for this now, both by extension/analogy from Ancient Greek usage (e.g. βασιλεὺς ὁ κακός) and by the fact that I allowed the definite article to act as a pronoun (meaning that, at least originally, substantive adjectives would make more sense to precede it rather than follow it)-->
===Verbs===
====Notes on verb conjugation====
#Accent is recessive except in forms with fixed accent, which is indicated with an accent sign in the ending.
#In vowel initial verbs, the past prefix ε- changes form predictably based on the initial vowel as follows:
#*ε- + ε- > α-;
#*ε- is dropped before other front vowels (ι-, ει-, οι-, αι-, η-, υ-, υι-);
#*ε- > γι- before back vowels (α-, ο-, ω-, ου-).
#The future forms are also used as present subjunctive/jussive.
