'''Kiwi''' (natively known as ''taʻ rī kiwinikaʻ'',  [[w:IPA|IPA]]: /tɑʔ rɪː kɪˌwɪɲɪˈkɑʔ/) refers to the constructed language supposedly spoken on [[w:Easter Island|Easter Island]], constructed by [[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]]. The language was devised as an effort to screw with the minds of [[w:Marine biology|marine biologists]], as well as a hypothetical language for ''Pagurus prideaux''.

The language was devised as an effort to screw with the minds of [[w:Marine biology|marine biologists]], as well as a hypothetical language for ''Pagurus prideaux''.


The Kiwi language is constructed to be agglutinative, for a change, yet retains the simple phonotactics of [[w:Polynesian languages|Polynesian languages]]. The phonology is simple by Europan standards, as is the orthography. Morphology and grammar show clear influences from [[w:Ojibwe|Ojibwe]], [[w:Navajo|Navajo]] and to a certain degree, [[w:Spanish|Spanish]]. The most interesting bits of information on the language is that is has a very weak word-final [[w:stress (linguistics)|stress]], lacks [[w:adjective|adjective]]s and [[w:adverb|adverb]]s, and that is a hyper intelligent shade of blue.

===Suprasegmentals===
Kiwi has a sophisticated system of [[w:tonal languages|tones]], as well as stress. Only final syllables may get tone, and all final syllables but those with a [[w:glottal stop|glottal stop]] coda, get a medium, default tone.
There are four tones in the language, '''medium''', '''rising''' and '''falling''', '''low''', and '''high''' tone. The last three tones only occur when a vowel precedes a word-final glottal stop, all others get a medium tone.
''To be continued.''

====Class====
====Classes and adjectivisation====
There are 9 inherent [[w:noun class|noun class]]es in the Kiwi language. These do to some extent govern [[w:obviation|obviation]], and [[w:agreement (linguistics)|agreement]] with adjectives. They are mainly dependent upon size and edibility.  
There are 9 inherent [[w:noun class|noun class]]es, {{sc|c}}, in the Kiwi language. These do to some extent govern [[w:obviation|obviation]], and [[w:agreement (linguistics)|agreement]] with adjectives. They are mainly dependent upon size and edibility.
 
Every class has an adjectivising prefix, {{sc|ADZ}}, which creates adverbs and adjectives from nouns and verbs.

Since the classes are relatively defined, it is not morphologically marked which class a noun belongs to. The prefixes are instead fixed on nouns to derive adjectives and adverbs. And epenthic glottal stop, <ʻ> is added if two vowels collide.


Since the classes are relatively defined, it is not morphologically marked which class a noun belongs to. The prefixes are instead fixed on nouns to derive adjectives and adverbs. And epenthic glottal stop, <ʻ> is added if two vowels collide.
The class prefixes are also used to congruate the possessor with a possesse, where the possessor get the class prefix of possessed object, as well as the genitive case.


Word order is most often irrelevant, since Kiwi is more or less [[w:Non-configurationality|non-configurational]]. See ''[[Kiwi#Syntax|Syntax]]'' for further information.

=====Plural=====

The plural number in Kiwi is used with a big number of objects, or many of them. It is basically similar to the English plural, except smaller groups of objects class as [[Kiwi#Paucal|paucal]]. Pluralisation of nouns is rather straightforward; plurals are formed through initial [[w:partial reduplication|partial reduplication]]. The reduplication is phonologically governed.

===Pronouns===
====Personal pronouns====
There are only [[w:Grammatical subject|subjective]] personal pronouns in the Kiwi language, and they are not used in the same contexts as in English. They are independent, thus not agglutinable. All persons do not exist for all classes of personal pronouns, and many classes have been put together. Please note that the Kiwi language is pro-drop; that is, using pronouns is not obligatory.

====The zeroth person and indefiniteness====
The so-called zeroth person ({{sc|0}}) in the Kiwi language, is a catch-all indefinite pronoun. It is used to convey the following meanings:
*''someone'', ''anyone'', ''all''
*''one'', ''a''/''an''
*''you'', ''they'', ''one'' (generic) The usage makes it equivalent to ''[[wikt:man|man]]'' in German, Swedish, et al., French ''[[wikt:on|on]]'' as well as ''[[wikt:ei|ei]]'' in Finnish. ''To be continued''.

|translation = Do you regret anything?
}}
====The fourth person and obviation====
The fourth person ({{sc|4}}) in the Kiwi language is a third person obviative pronoun that distinguishes a non-salient third person referent from a more salient, proximate or pertinent, third person referent in a given discourse context.
There are a few basic rules for the Kiwi fourth person:
*Where animacy is involved, animate [[w:noun phrase|noun phrase]]s tend to be proximate, while inanimate [[w:noun phrases|noun phrases]] tend to be obviative.
*Possessors are obligatorily proximate and possessees are thus obligatory obviative.
<!-- *Obviation is most common in [[head-marking language]]s since the obviative is useful in disambiguating otherwise unmarked nominals. -->
*Proximate/Obviative assignments are preserved throughout clauses and are also often constant over longer discourse segments.
*If there is no need for a proximate/obviate distinction in the clause, the pronouns get [[w:Demonstrative pronoun|proximal]] and [[w:Demonstrative pronoun|distal]] functions.
*A proximate subject is always animate.

===Verbs===
===Verbs===
====Tense====
====Tense====
The Kiwi language does mark [[w:grammatical tense|grammatical tense]] morphologically. However, the system is binary one; [[Kiwi#Non-future tense|non-future]] ({{sc|nfut}}) versus [[Kiwi#Future tense|future]] ({{sc|fut}}). To specify whether something occurs in the present or in the past, you make use of [[w:adverbs|adverbs]], or more commonly, adverbial noun phrases.
====Person====
====Person====
=====Unipersonal agreement=====
=====Unipersonal agreement=====
There is no unipersonal agreement in the Kiwi language; an intransitive verb, one that does not take an object, dos not conjugate according to the subject. Instead you use the personal pronouns or noun phrase in question.
{{Gloss
|phrase = Anā miʻā.
|IPA = /ˈanaː ˈmɪʔaː/

|IPA = /ʔuˈmaːɲɪ ˈje̞ː/
|morphemes = ʻumāni yē
|gloss =  to_watch_out.NFUT 2pl.NOM
|translation = Do watch out, guys.
}}
=====Bipersonal agreement=====
=====Bipersonal agreement=====
The bipersonal prefixes agree with both the subject and the [[w:grammatical object|object]] simultaneously. They have the following transivity direction: {{sc|subject}}>{{sc|object}}
