'''Arnic'''('' | '''Arnic'''(''igyro Arnah'', <small>Arnic:</small> [[Help:IPA|[igʲʏro aɾn̯ɐh]]]), also called '''Arakite''', is a Gadaïc language and the official language of the Moshurian vassal of Arnah. It is one of six majority languages in Gadah, and is the second most spoken there after Ösrish. | ||
Arnic is a Proto-Gadaïc-derivative, meaning it primarily derives from the Paleogadaic derivative, Proto-Gadaïc. This differs from [[Psér]], which is a direct derivative from Paleogadaic. | Arnic is a Proto-Gadaïc-derivative, meaning it primarily derives from the Paleogadaic derivative, Proto-Gadaïc.

Arnic uses its own left-right top-down alphabet/abugida, which is derived from the [[Psér#Orthography|Psér alphabet]]. One clear difference is that the Arnic alphabet can be written as an abugida, with each vowel having its own diacritic form. | |||
====Rules==== | |||
Though most text is written phonetically as described in the diagram to the left, there are some non-phonetic rules regarding Arnic orthography. | |||
# Suffixes(mostly case suffixes) can not begin with the diacritic form of a vowel | |||
# No word can start with a diacritic vowel; this is the most common use of the non-diacritic vowels. | |||
