Introduction

Arini (from Purhepecha arhini 'speak') is an auxiliary conlang (auxlang) originally intended for global communication between people from different countries, however as time passed, the language began to become an auxiliary language for the novel ‹La Coroneta›. The language was born in November 2, 2018, by Adonái Castro. The orthography of Arini is primarily Latin, although it has also been adapted to other writing systems, having the following alphabet:

It's a language after all the languages ​​in the world that seeks to be an auxiliary language, initially it was intended to be used by real human beings. The direction taken to know which words to take from each language is commonly related to the origin of the concept, that is, from the cultures that demonstrated to cultivate rice first that's where the language for the word "rice" will be taken from, or those first civilizations to encounter a certain animal.


Phonology

The phonology was for a long time the cause of rejection and change, currently this is the phonology that has lasted the longest and is probably the ultimate form. Arini phonology has five vowels (a /ä/, e /e̞/, i, o /o̞/, u /u̟/) and two diphthongs (v /ʊ/ and y /ɪ/).

The Arini has seventeen consonants and five vowels.

  • Multiple consonants are subject to change under the influence of the semiconsonants "y" /j/ and "v" /ʋ/ which when next to a consonant are pronounced "y" /ʲ/ and "v" /ʷ/; "ny" can be pronounced as /ɲ/, "zy" /sʲ/ as /ɕ/ and "zy" /zʲ/ can pronounced as /ʑ/, "ly" /lʲ/ as /ʎ/, "hy" /xʲ/ as /ç/, "ky" /kʲ/ as /c/, and "gy" /gʲ/ as /ɟ/, but it's not a rule, just a possibility.
  • "v"/ ʊ̯/ and "y" /ɪ̯/ just appear at the end of syllables, at the beginning of the syllable they are replaced by the corresponding consonants /ʋ/ and /j/.

On many occasions there are words with two vowels together or even with two pairs of double vowels («"áanyaa"» ‘Virginia's dyer’), In these cases there is a variation in pronunciation (tonal or not) and writing (diacritics).

Prosody

Stress

Stress is marked by a accut accent in their respective vowel, words that have stress in the penultimate syllable aren't mark, monosyllables are not mark either.

Phonotactics

The only consonants that do not consonant together in the same syllable without being affricated together with the liquid r, l are: J, Z, S, X, Y, L, R.

Cannot make affricates with consonants that are not of the same type of voice, like dc /d͡ð/.

Cannot start a syllable with a consonant plus another consonant unless it is a fricate (stereo → estéreo).

Of course cannot end a word with a stop or fricative consonant with a liquid (tl (atlu ← atl)).

The only letters that can make a diphthong are "y" and "v", apart from palatalization and labialization as well.

Morphophonology

Morphology

The Arini has 3 tenses to conjugate verbs, in addition to the progressive, subjunctive, infinitive and imperative cases:

Present n
Past d
Future l

Syntax

Arini follows a **Subject–Verb–Object (SVO)** structure. Verbs always appear directly after the subject or pronoun. Articles precede the noun they modify. Adjectives precede the noun as well, and follow the article if present. Adverbs follow the verb they modify.
