Flewtish (endonym: Flutwa [ˈɸlutwa] or Flutwas glung [ˈɸlutwas ɡluŋ]) is a language spoken by the majority of the population in much of Northwest Russia and the Karelia region. Flewtish is a language isolate, meaning it does not (with our current knowledge) genetically relate to any other language on the planet.
Flewtish is typologically agglutinative, using almost exclusively suffixal affixation to indicate number, tense, person and case. Flewtish is partially a null-subject language, depending on whether the subject can be implicitly indicated with certainty or not. Due to the sprachbund effect, Flewtish is an SVO language, but more archaic dialects are actually SOV ones.
Etymology
Flutwa is an evolution of Proto-Flewtish */ɸʲlitʰa/, meaning "Blooming" or "Saturated". The reason for this name is that the regions that Flewtish speakers settled were far more greener and developed than their previous homeland.
History
Flewtish is possibly a Paleo-siberian language that through migration reached it's current territory. This can be further supported by similarities with the Yeniseian languages, like being a tonal language and having vowel length distinction.
Orthography
Flewtish officially is written with the Cyrillic script as law enforces it in Russia. However the language is biscriptal and hence, it uses both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts to be written. Following are both scripts for writing the language:
| Cyrillic Script for Flewtish | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Аа /a/ | Бб /b/ | Вв /v/ | Гг /ɣ/ | Дд /d/ | Ее /e/ | Зз /z/ | Ии /i/ | Іі /ɨ/ | Кк /k/ | Лл /l/ | Мм /m/ | Нн /n/ | Оо /ɔ/ | Өө /θ/ | Пп /p/ | Рр /r/ | Тт /t/ | Уу /u/ | Фф /ɸ/ | Ьь (See below) | Хх /h/ | Цц /t͡s/ | Чч /t͡ʃ/ | Шш /ʃ/ |

*'Ьь' usually acts as a modifier letter on the preceding letter. Eg: Дь becomes /ð/, ВЬ becomes /w/, and Аь becomes /ɐ/.
The letters correspond always to their pronunciation. The orthography is considered a phonetic, as opposed to deep orthographies like French's.
Stress
Flewtish is a stress accent language, and the stress is fixed to the final syllable of each word.
