Feiden is a Wiobic language inspired by Indo-Iranian languages and English. It turns the palatal series of Proto-Wiobic into a sibilant series.

Modern Feiden is an official language of the Bjeheondian states of Plüeng Dăthney and Plüeng Srăchiem.

Todo

p mp b -> φ b p (pronounced /pʰ b p/)

c nc J -> h ź ś (pronounced /h ʑ ɕ/)

velars and labiovelars merge

ç -> s (as in Wiobian spelling); s -> x except in clusters

r -> d or l, but ř stays as ř (written r); coronal + ř clusters become retroflex

Great Vowel Shift after umlaut

nsaati -> ziiθ /zi:tʰ/ ntřaag -> źrauk /ɖʐauk/

Phonology

Umlaut in Feiden works like Welsh; there is both i- and a- umlaut but no u-umlaut. It's no longer productive in the modern language.

Morphology

Feiden is analytic like Tsjoen, and has developed head-initial tendencies due to contact with Hlou-Ku languages (read: "Hlou-Ku people learning an older stage badly")

Lexicon

The Feiden lexicon has been heavily influenced by the neighboring Hlou-Ku languages, especially Shumian. Shumian words are often used in advanced vocabulary in Feiden as they are easy to compound (c.f. Sino-Korean).
