'''Gothedish''' (Native: ''Guþþydske'' /ˈɡuːθʏtskə/) is an East Germanic language. One of its most distinctive feature is extensive palatalization, which is most likely due to Slavic influence.
This is a short reminder of the language format policy.

==Introduction==
==Introduction==
'''Gothedish''' is a descendant of Gothic. It is named after the Gothedes (''Guþþyde''), whose name means ''"Goth people"'' (''gut'' (Goth) + ''þyde'' (people)). By folk etymology, it also means ''"God's slaves"'' (''Gud'' (God) + ''þyde'' (slave)). As a result of this dual etymology, ''Guþþyde'' may either be declined as a strong noun (in which case it is collective and is grammatically feminine) or a weak noun (in which case it refers to a single person).
Gothedish is a descendant of Gothic, spoken by the Gothedes (''Guþþyde'').
<!-- Design goals, inspiration, ideas, who speaks it?, when was it created?, where does it come from?, any peculiarities? -->
===Etymology===
<!-- Example categories/headings:  
The ethnonym ''Guþþyde'' "Gothede" is derived from Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰 ''gutþiuda'' "Goths", from *𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌰 ''guta'' "Goth" + 𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰 ''þiuda'' "people". Folk etymology derives it from ''Gud'' "God" (< Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐌸 ''guþ'' "God") + ''þyde'' "slave" (< Gothic *𐌸𐌹𐍅𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌰 ''þiwaida'' "enslaved"), in which case it means "slave of God". ''Guþþyde'' is declined as a strong feminine noun when referring to the Gothedes as whole and as a weak noun when referring to an individual.

===History===
Inspiration
Gothedish is descended from Wulfila's Gothic or a closely related Eastern Germanic variety. The ancestors of the Gothedes lived somewhere around modern-day Romania. At some point in history (TBD), they spread throughout the area between the Balkan penninsula and Scandinavia.
===Influences===
Despite being highly conservative, Gothedish has been significantly influenced by other languages. This can be divided into 4 main stages:
#'''Early Medieval Gothic (4<sup>th</sup> to 7<sup>th</sup> centuries?):''' Main influences were Greek and Latin (mainly religious vocabulary), as well as Early/Middle Common Slavic (palatalization and some vocabulary).
#'''Late Medieval Gothic (8<sup>th</sup> to 13<sup>th</sup> centuries?):''' Little external influence. Some influence from Old Norse (which was somewhat mutually intelligible), Slavic, and Finnic.
#'''Early Gothedish (14<sup>th</sup> to 18<sup>th</sup> centuries):''' Accepted Islam, adding influence from Arabic and Ottoman Turkish. Continued Slavic, Finnic, and Scandinavian influence.
#'''Modern Gothedish (18<sup>th</sup> century to modern day):''' Borrowings and calques from German, English, and New Latin.

'''Notes:'''
<sup><small>1</small></sup> Any vowel is lengthened when it has an acute accent or circumflex. Similarly, vowels followed by ⟨h⟩ are lengthened even if there is an intervening consonant. An exception is the digraph ⟨hj⟩, which shortens the preceding vowel.
<sup><small>2</small></sup> In unstressed syllables. Dropped when immediately preceded by vowel or followed by vowel in the next syllable, unless that leads to a forbidden consonant cluster. Written ⟨i⟩ after palatalized ⟨g⟩ that is not preceded by ⟨i⟩.

<small><sup>1</sup></small> Unmarked vowels are lengthened by default in “unchecked" syllables (i.e. stressed and followed by no more than one consonant) and are shortened otherwise. Short unchecked vowels are indicated by doubling the following consonant, and long checked vowels are indicated with special long forms. The circumflexed long forms are used when a letter (usually "b") has been dropped. Compound words and loanwords often do not conform to these rules. Note that distinction between long and short vowels is more of a difference in quality rather than duration, with "long" vowels generally being lengthened in stressed, open syllables and shortened otherwise.

Short unchecked vowels are indicated by doubling the following consonant, and long checked vowels are indicated with special long forms. The circumflexed long forms are used when a letter (usually "b" or "g") has been dropped. Compound words and loanwords do not always conform to these rules. Note that long vowels may be pronounced shorter in closed and/or unstressed syllables; however, this shortening is non-phonemic.

<small><sup>4</sup></small> Unstressed. Written ⟨e⟩ in the Latin script, except adjacent to palatalized ⟨g⟩, where it is written ⟨i⟩ if there is no other indicator of palatalization. Dropped in pronunciation when followed by another vowel in the next syllable, unless that leads to a forbidden consonant cluster. Not written before sonorants in Gothic and Cyrillic scripts.


<small><sup>5</sup></small> "K", "sk", and "g" are palatalized before front vowels (ä, e, i, ö, y, and digraphs beginning in them) and, in the case of "g", after "i", "ei", and "oi". Note that unstressed "e" (/ə/) does not cause palatalization. To prevent palatalization, they may be written with an "h" after (i.e. "kh", "skh", and "gh").
<small><sup>5</sup></small> The velar consonants ⟨k⟩ and ⟨g⟩ as well as the clusters ⟨sk⟩ and ⟨zg⟩ are palatalized before the front vowels ⟨ä, e, i, ö, y⟩ and digraphs beginning in them. The voiced velar ⟨g⟩ is also palatalized after ⟨i⟩ and digraphs ending in it. Note that unstressed ⟨e⟩ /ə/ does not cause palatalization. Unpalatalized /(s)k, (z)g/ only occur before front vowels in loanwords, and may be indicated with a following ⟨h⟩ – i.e. ⟨(s)kh, (z)gh⟩.

===Morphophonology===
===Morphophonology===
====Word-final devoicing====
The following changes affect voiced stops, fricatives, and affricates when they occur word-finally:
*'''b''' /b/, '''bj''' /d͡ʒ/: devoiced to /p, t͡ʃ/ after nasals; otherwise devoiced and fricatized to /f, ʃ/.
*'''d''' /d/, '''g''' /ɡ/ (non-palatal environment), '''gj''' /d͡ʒ/: devoiced to /t, k, t͡ʃ/ after consonants; devoiced and fricatized to /θ, x, ʃ/ after vowels.
*'''dj''' /d͡z/ (after nasal): devoiced to /t͡s/.
*'''dj''' /z/ (not after nasal): devoiced to /s/.
*'''g''' /j/ (palatal environment): devoiced and fricatized to /ʃ/.
*'''z''' /z/, '''zj''' /ʒ/, '''v''' /v/: devoiced to /s, ʃ, f/.
Loanwords may not undergo fricatization - e.g. ''kitab'' /kɪˈtaːp/ "book". Some speakers may avoid this irregularity by completely replacing the final consonant with its unvoiced counterpart - e.g. ''ketap'' /kəˈtaːp/ (nativized form of ''kitab'').
====Palatalization====
All consonants except for ''w, j,'' and ''v'' can be palatalized by adding ''j'' after the consonant. This specific form of palatalization is known as iotation. The originally labiovelar consonants ''hv, kv,'' and ''gv'' are iotated to ''hj, kj,'' and ''gj'' respectively.
It is rare for vowels to occur in productively iotating environments, but when that happens, the results are generally as follows (though individual lexemes may behave differently):
*a + j → ä
*ä, e + j → ei
*å, o, ou + j → oi
*u, ue + j → y
*eu, y + j → ey
*i, ei, oi, ie, ye unaffected
There is another form of palatalization that affects the consonants ''c'', ''k'', and ''g'' as well as the clusters ''sk'' and ''zg''. These are palatalized before front vowels (''ä, e, i, ö, y, ei, ey, eu, ie, ye'') to /t͡s, t͡ʃ, d͡ʒ- ~ -j-, ʃ, ʒ/ respectively. Additionally, ''g'' is palatalized to /-j- ~ -ʃ/ after orthographic ''i'' (which therefore excludes the digraph ''ie'' and includes the digraphs ''ei, oi, ai,'' and ''ui'' as well as unstressed ''i'' /ə/). Unstressed ''e'' /ə/ does not cause palatalization.
The palatalization of ''(s)k'' and ''(z)g'' can be blocked by adding ''h'' after the consonant/cluster (i.e. ''(s)kh, (z)gh''). This only occurs in loanwords. Some common words and morphemes do not indicate the lack of palatalization - e.g. ''kitab'' /kɪˈtaːp/ "book", ''-logie'' /lɔˈgiː/ "-logy". Many of these have nativized forms that may be preferred by some speakers - e.g. ''ketap'' /kəˈtaːp/, ''-logjie'' /lɔˈd͡ʒiː/.
====Addition of -t-====
These changes occur in the past stem of class 1 weak verbs (where ''-d-'' becomes ''-t-'' after obstruents) and the second person singular past indicative of strong verbs (which has the ending ''-t''). Before applying these changes to class 1 weak verbs, remove the ''-j-'' of the present stem.
*p, b + t → ft
*nt, nd + t → nt
*t, d, z, ts + t → st
*k, nk, g, ng + t → ht. This leads to the following changes to the preceding vowels (''N'' represents a dropped nasal):
**u + ht → åht
**i + ht → äht
**ou, uN + ht → uht
**ei, iN + ht → iht
**unstressed e /ə/ + ht → aht
====Vowel shortening====
When the addition of a consonantal suffix causes an originally open syllable preceded by a long vowel to become closed, vowel length is usually preserved. This is indicated with an acute accent or, in the case of ''ä, å,'' and ''ö'', by replacing them with ''ea, oa,'' and ''eo'' respectively. However, the vowel is shortened (unless it has a circumflex or is followed by ''h'') in the following circumstances:
*When the following consonant is iotated (''-j-'') - e.g. ''sk<b>u</b>l-en'' /ˈsk'''uː'''l-n̩/ "to have to" + ''-je'' → ''sk<b>u</b>lje'' /ˈsk'''ʊ'''ʎə/
*When the vowel is followed by three or more consonants - e.g. ''g<b>u</b>te'' /ˈɡ'''uː'''tə/ "Goths" + ''-ske'' → ''g<b>u</b>tske'' /ˈɡ'''ʊ'''t.skə/ "Gothic"
====Compound words====
Compound words are head-final (like in German). Note that this differs from noun phrases, which are generally head-initial. The modifying noun(s) undergo the following changes (in this order) before adding onto the head noun:
#If the noun ends in an iotated consonant, the iotation is removed.
#If the noun now ends in a ''-b'' or ''-d'' that would be fricativized, replace it with its fricative counterpart (''f'' and ''þ'' respectively). However, this replacement does not occur if the consonant is followed by an identical consonant or its voiceless counterpart. Other voiced consonants are devoiced as usual, but this is not indicated in writing.
#If the noun ends in a schwa, it is dropped.
In some compounds, the modifying noun occurs in the genitive, in which case the above changes do not apply.
In compound words, the vowel length in each component is independent from the other component words. For example, under normal rules, the ''-u-'' in ''Guþþyde'' "Gothede" (< ''Gud'' "God" + ''þyde'' "slave") would be expected to be pronounced short due to being followed by two orthographic consonants. However, since it is followed by a single consonant in ''Guþ-'', it is in fact pronounced long. <!--This applies even if the vowel is short in the original word due to a following ''-j-''.-->
===Historical phonology===
====Gothic to Old Gothedish====
*Nasalization of geminate voiced plosives.
*C + j > geminate palatalized consonant
*Unstressed vowel shortening/reduction.
====Old Gothedish to Middle Gothedish====
*Further vowel reduction.
====Middle Gothedish to Modern Gothedish====
*Diphthongization of long high vowels.
*Palatalization of velars before (and sometimes after) front vowels.
*Vowel lengthening in stressed, unchecked syllables and shortening in checked syllables.
*Vowel simplifications.
*Partial loss of unstressed vowels.
*Hardening of voiced fricatives.
*Labiovelars > Labials (except /w/).
*Analogical changes.
==Morphology==
==Morphology==
Gothedish has four cases: Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, and Dative.
===Cases===
<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
Gothedish has four cases: nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. The genitive can be further declined as an adjective to agree with the noun it modifies/replaces, in which case final post-vocalic ''-s'' becomes ''-z-'' and genitives ending in ''-e'' add ''-z-''. In formal language outside of poetry, personal pronouns generally use the declined genitive in all cases, while nouns use the invariant genitive unless there is no other indicator of case.
<!-- Here are some example subcategories:
 
Nouns
e.g. ''mag'' "boy": ''mages'' "boyʼs", ''mage'' "boysʼ" (undeclined genitive) + ''-es'' → ''magezes'' "boyʼs / boysʼ (''nom. m. sg.'')"
Adjectives
:''Isses ist <b>magezes</b>.'' "This is '''a boy's'''." ≈ ''Isses ist <b>þas mages</b>.'' "This is '''that of a boy'''."

Like nouns, adjectives may be strong or weak. Most adjectives have both forms. The strong forms are used attributively (''happy people'') and predicatively (''they are happy''), while the weak forms are used nominally (''the rich'').
Like nouns, adjectives may be strong or weak. Most adjectives have both forms. The strong forms are used attributively (''happy people'') and predicatively (''they are happy''), while the weak forms are used nominally (''the happy''). Adjectives that only have one form use that form in all usages.
====Strong Adjectives====
 
====Weak Adjectives====
Adjectives have a special unmarked gender that can be used when the gender is unknown/unspecified/unimportant. It is more commonly used in informal language, and is proscribed when referring to an entity with known gender.
===Pronouns and Determiners===

'''Notes:'''
 
<sup><small>1</small></sup> In formal language, dual pronouns are used to refer to two people. They are rare in informal language and are considered archaic in most dialects (similar to English "thou").
 
<sup><small>2</small></sup> Gothedish has a T-V distinction in second person pronouns.
====Reflexive pronouns====
Gothedish has the reflexive pronoun ''silbe'' "self", which can optionally be combined with the stems of personal pronouns to form personal relexive pronouns (as shown in the below table).

====Demonstratives====
====Demonstratives====
Demonstratives can be used independently as pronouns, or postnominally as determiners. There are three demonstratives in Gothedish: near (or proximal), middle (or medial), and far (or distal).
The near demonstrative is used for objects near to the speaker. It is declined as a regular strong adjective with the stem ''iss-''.

Numbers from 4-999 that do not end in 1-3 have a dative in ''-em'' and genitive in ''-e'' and do not otherwise decline. ''Þousendj'' "thousand" and higher numbers decline as feminine strong nouns.
Ordinal numbers are declined as weak adjectives (except for ''anþer'' "second", which is always strong).
===Verbs===
===Verbs===
Gothedish verbs fall in three main categories: weak verbs, strong verbs, and preterite-present verbs. Each of these verb types are sub-divided in classes.
Gothedish verbs fall in three main categories: strong verbs, weak verbs, and preterite-present verbs. The conjugation of regular verbs follows the table below.

'''Notes:'''
 
<sup><small>1</small></sup> ''-(e)-'' indicates a schwa that is dropped in vowel-final verbs.
 
<sup><small>2</small></sup> Preterite-present verbs conjugate as a strong past in the present, and as a weak past in the past. The plural present has the same stem as the infinitive.
====Strong verbs====
Strong verbs form their past tense and past participle by vowel change (ablaut). There are seven classes of strong verbs, depending on how the stem changes.

'''Notes:'''
 
<sup><small>1</small></sup> In strong verbs, expected ''-i-'' and ''-u-'' are replaced with ''-ä-'' and ''-å-'' respectively whenever they occur before ''h'', ''r'', or ''hv''. This is represented as ''-i[ä]-'' and ''-u[å]-'' respectively.
 
<sup><small>2</small></sup> Class 7 strong verbs have reduplication in the past tense. The exact formation of the past tense depends on the verb, but it generally involves a reduplication of the initial consonant followed by schwa - e.g. ''släsep'' "slept" (past of ''slepen'' "to sleep"), ''säse'' "sowed" (past of ''sän'' "to sow").

=====Class V strong verbs=====
=====Class VI strong verbs=====
=====Class VII strong verbs=====
=====Irregular strong verbs===== -->
There are a few irregular strong verbs:
*Class 2: ''glouken, glåk, glukje, gluken'' "to lock" - irregular present stem vowel
*Class 4: ''truden, trad, tredje, truden'' "to tread" - irregular present stem vowel
*Class 5: ''bidjen, bad, bedje, biden'' "to request, pray" - irregular iotation in present stem
*Class 5: ''iten, et, etje, iten'' "to eat" - irregular past singular stem
*Class 5: ''frähnen, frah, frehje, frähen'' "to question" - irregular ''-n-'' in present stem
*Class 6: ''fraþjen, froþ, froþje, fraþen'' "to understand" - irregular iotation in present stem
**Similar verbs: ''hahjen'' "to raise"; ''hlahjen'' "to laugh"; ''graþjen'' "to count"; ''skapjen'' "to create"; ''skaþjen'' "to injure"; ''wahsjen'' "to grow"
*Class 6: ''standen, stoþ, stoþje, staþen'' "to stand" - irregular ''-n-'' and voicing in present stem
*Unclassified: ''wisen'' "to be"; ''gangen'' "to go" - these are technically strong verbs, but they are treated separately due to their high degree of irregularity (see [[Gothedish#Suppletive_verbs|suppletive verbs]] below).
All verbs derived from a prefixed irregular verb are irregular themselves.

====Weak verbs====
Weak verbs form their past tense and past participle with a dental suffix. There are two classes of weak verbs.
 
Class 1 weak verbs have an iotated present stem. In the past tense, ''-d-'' is devoiced to ''-t-'' after obstruents, which are fricatized (see [[Gothedish#Addition_of_-t-|morphophonology]] for more information).
 
In class 2 weak verbs, the past ''-d-'' does not affect the preceding consonant and is only devoiced if preceded by a devoiced consonant. Vowel length is preserved.

Preterite-present verbs are special in that their present tense conjugates as a strong past. In the past tense, they take a dental suffix and conjugate as weak verbs.

====Principal parts====
*'''Strong verbs:''' infinitive, 1S past indicative, 1S past subjunctive, past participle
*'''Weak verbs:''' infinitive, past participle
*'''Preterite-present verbs:''' infinitive, 1S present indicative, past participle
*'''The verb ''gangen'' "to go" and derived verbs:''' infinitive, 1S past indicative, past participle
*'''The verb ''wisen'' "to be" and derived verbs:''' infinitive, 1S present indicative, 1S present subjunctive, 1S past indicative, 1S past subjunctive, past participle
 
====Non-finite forms and derived nouns/adjectives====
*'''Infinitive'''
*'''Present participle:''' Acts as an adjective, equivalent to English ''-ing''. When nominalized, can function as an agent noun - e.g. ''gangende'' "one who goes/is going; goer".
*'''Past participle:''' Acts as an adjective. Passive for transitive verbs, and active for intransitive verbs. When nominalized, can function as a patient noun for transitive verbs - e.g. ''itene'' "that which is eaten; food". Nominalized intransitive past participles form perfect agent nouns - e.g. ''gangene'' "one who has gone".
*'''Agent noun:''' Formed by replacing ''-n'' of infinitive with ''-rj''. Similar in meaning to nominalized present participle, but refers to a more permanent state - e.g. ''bakerj'' "baker (i.e. someone whose profession is baking)" vs ''bakende'' "one who bakes/is baking (i.e. someone who sometimes bakes or who is currently baking, but who may not be a baker by profession)".


==Syntax==
==Syntax==
===Constituent order===
===Constituent order===
Gothedish has a relatively free constituent word order, although there are preferred word orders depending on the clause type.
====Main clauses====
Word order is generally V2, although it may be V1 when the verb's subject is a dropped pronoun. The preverbal position can be occupied by any constituent. If the subject is present and not in the preverbal position, it occurs immediately after the verb. Non-finite verbs can either occur before or after the direct object. They tend to occur clause-finally (like German) in simpler sentences and immediately after the verb (like Swedish) in more complex sentences. Adverbs most often occur before the direct object.
:e.g. ''Hund warþ in Kanada gebåren.'' (''dog was in Canada born'') "A dog was born in Canada."
::''Gebåren warþ hund in Kanada.'' (''born was dog in Canada'') "A dog was '''born''' in Canada."
::''Ebenþ warþ hund in Kanada gebåren.'' (''yesterday was dog in Canada born'') "A dog was born yesterday in Canada."
::''Hund warþ gebåren in house míkjelem broþeres meines juhses.'' (''dog was born in house large brother.<small>GEN</small> mine.<small>GEN</small> younger.<small>GEN</small>'') "A dog was born in the big house of my younger brother."
====Relative clauses====
Relative clauses are generally verb-final. However, if the clause has complex arguments, the verb is usually moved to the beginning of the clause (preceded by the subject if applicable).
====Adverbial clauses====
Adverbial clauses ('if', 'until', etc) follow the same word order rules as main clauses.
===Negation===
The general negation particle is ''ne'' "not". It precedes the word it negates.
Some words combine with a preceding negative particle.
*''ne'' + ''wisen, im, sie, was, wesje, wisen'' "to be" → ''nisen, nim, nesie, nas, nesje, nisen'' "to not be"
*''ne'' + ''wäht'' "(some)thing" → ''näht'' "nothing"
*''ne'' + ''än'' "one" → ''nän'' "none"
*''ne'' + ''wiljen, wild'' "to want" → ''niljen, nild'' "to not want"
*''ne'' + ''witen, wät, wist'' "to know" → ''niten, nät, nist'' "to not know"
*''ne'' + ''wärþen, warþ, wårþje, wårþen'' "to become" → ''närþen, narþ, nårþje, nårþen'' "to not become"
*etc
A sentence/clause can be negated by negating the verb, or by placing ''niss'' (< earlier ''nistj'' < ''nist ei'' "[it] is not that") at the beginning of the clause.

**The future is often left unmarked if clear from context - e.g. ''Gistredagi <b>sähve</b> ik þuk.'' "I '''[will] see''' you tomorrow."
*'''Present conditional:''' There are two ways of forming the conditional tenses<!-- with different usages-->. <!--The forms labelled ''I'' are used in conditional sentences, while the forms labelled ''II'' can be used on their own. -->The ''II'' forms can also be used as a polite way to express wishes.
**'''I:''' past subjunctive - e.g. ''Jabe <b>kvemjes</b>, ik <b>sehje</b> þuk.'' "If you '''came''', I '''would see''' you."

**'''II:''' past subjunctive of ''magen'' + infinitive - e.g. ''Ik <b>mahtje</b> þuk <b>sähven</b>.'' "I '''would have seen''' you. / I '''would have liked to see''' you."
====Voice====
*'''Active:''' Basic form - e.g. ''Ik <b>sähve</b> þuk.'' "I '''see''' you."
*'''Middle:''' Use object pronouns for first and second persons, and the middle pronoun for third person - e.g. ''Þou <b>sähves þuk</b>.'' "You '''are visible'''."
*'''Passive:''' There are two kinds of passive.
**'''General passive''': appropriate form of ''wisen'' "to be" + past participle (agrees with subject) - e.g. ''Þou <b>wast</b> sähvenes.'' "You '''were seen'''."
**'''Inchoative passive''' (refers to beginning of state): appropriate form of ''wärþen'' "to become" + past participle (agrees with subject) - e.g. ''Þou <b>warst</b> sähvenes.'' "You '''were sighted'''."
*'''Reflexive:''' Use reflexive pronouns - e.g. ''Ik sähve <b>(mi)silben</b>.'' "I see '''myself'''."
*'''Reciprocal:''' Use the reciprocal pronoun ''hvarjander'' "each other" in the appropriate case - e.g. ''Jous sähvets <b>hvarjander</b>.'' "You see <b>each other</b>."
