'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''d'allemañische Sprâçe'' /d‿al.me.ɲis p˭jaʊs/ or ''d'Allemañisch'') is a High German language spoken in [[Verse:Lõis|Lõis]]'s Switzerland. It is inspired by German, Burmese, and French.
Numbers: ''ein, zwei, drî, feaur, finf, sechs, siben, acht, neun, zên'' /eɪ̯ŋ, θwe, zi, føː, fiːf, seː, sə.bu, aɪ̯ʔ, nyŋ, θaɪŋ/
Final stops become glottal stops after a vowel, vanish otherwise
==Todo==
Some sentences:
*''Ich spreche fon de Leaube und de Haz.'' [əx p˭jɛx fu də løb un də has]
*''Ist'z daz du behaltes ez fur mir ?'' [it˭as t˭u bəhaltʰ əs fy mi]
*''Wir leaubons him, darum wir fîrons sîn Inwîung.'' [wi løbu hiŋ dɔjuŋ wi fiju siŋ iŋwijuŋ]
*''Ez git an mir Hunger.'' [əs k˭ət am mi huŋi]
*''Hwaz ist'z daz ez ?'' [w̥að itað əs] "What is it?"
Sound changes:
*"pin-pen merger" (to /i/) before final weakening
Some words:
*''de Deaumout'' /døy.moʊʔ/ = meekness, humility, submission
**''deaumoutig'' /døy.moʊ.ti/ = meek, humble
*''de Hnacken'' /n̊a.k˭u/ = neck
*''nein'' /neɪŋ/ = no; ''neau'' /nø/ = not
*''denken'' /diŋ.kʰu/ = think
*''de Stein'' /t˭eɪŋ/ = stone
*''de Schlange'' /l̥aŋ/ = snake
*''de Himel'' /hi.məl/ = sky
*''d'Eauligheit'' /ø.li.kʰeɪʔ/ = eternity
**''eaulig'' /ø.li/ = eternal
*''driñ'' /zi/ = in (preposition)
*''de Schneau'' = snow
*''deutsch'' /dyts/ = [[Thedish]]
==Phonology==
Unusually for an L-European language, {{PAGENAME}} has phonemic voiceless nasals and resonants. Also unusual is the aspirated sibilant /sʰ/ (written {{angbr|''sch''}} or {{angbr|''tr''}}).
===Orthography===
''Cl'' = /Cw/?
''r'' = /j/; ''kr, gr'' = /tɕ, dʑ/; ''k, g, ch'' + front vowel = /s, z, s/; ''ch'' = /x/
''s'' = /s/; ''z'' = /θ/; ''sch/tr'' = /sʰ/; ''str'' = /tɕ˭/; ''dr'' = /z/
''(sc)hm, (sc)hn, (sc)hl, (sc)hr'' /m̥, n̥, l̥, ʃ/
*''dez Hlauz'' /l̥aʊs/ = lot, fate
''a'' = /a/, ''â'' = /aʊ/, ''âr'' = /aɪ/, ''au, aun, ou'' = /o~oʊ/
''e'' = /ɛ/ (/ə/ in unstressed syllables), ''ê'' = /aɪ/, ''eau, eaun'' = /ø/
''eu'' = /y/
''é, en, én'' = /e~eɪ/
''i'' = /ə/
''î, in'' = /i/
''u, un, an'' = /ɔ/
''û'' = /u/

*/h/ may be written as either {{angbr|''h''}} or {{angbr|''ch''}}; it is pronounced [x] after consonants.
===Vowels===
vowels: /a ə i u y ɔ~aʊ ɛ~aɪ e~eɪ o~oʊ ø~øy/, ~ denotes alternation.
The Allemañisch alternation is conditioned by the following rule:
*diphthongs before /ʔ, s, ŋ/ OR before nasals
*monophthongs otherwise?
The alternants are marginally phonemic, e.g. before consonants that don't alternate like /l, h/.
It originally came from the rule "diphthongs in closed syllables, monophthongs in open syllables" (plus diphthongization before /n, s/). This alternation operates after r, -nj > j and attendant vowel coloring.

===Nouns===
Indefinite article:
*''a/n''' /ə~n‿/ singular
*''et'' əʔ~ə.tʰ‿-/ plural
''a'' is used before consonants, ''n''' before vowels; e.g. ''a Sprâçe'' 'a language'; ''n'Esel'' 'a donkey'

Adjectives: predicative ''-0'', attributive ''-e''

*''a starke Mañ'' /ə t˭ɛk me/ 'a strong man'
===Verbs===
Like Yiddish, Allemañisch uses past participles instead of simple past forms in the past tense; however the auxiliary ''sîn'' was lost unlike in our timeline's German or Yiddish.
Infinitive:
*''machen'' /maxu/
Imperative:
*''mache !'' /max/ 'do!' [2sg]
*''machez-irl !'' /maxtil/ [2pl]
*''machons-wir !'' /maxuwi/ 'let's do!'
Present simple:
*''ich mache'' /əx max/
*''du maches'' /du max/
*''er/seu/ez machez'' /eː max/
*''wir machons'' /wiː maxu/
*''irl machez'' /il max/
*''deul machent'' /dyl max/
Present progressive:
*''ich bin bî machen''
*''du bis bî machen''
*''er ist bî machen''
*''wir sins bî machen''
*''irl sît bî machen''
*''deul sint bî machen''
Past:
*''ich ha gemachez'' /əx hagəmax/
*''du has gemachez'' /du hak˭əmax/
*''er/seu/ez haz gemachez'' /eː hak˭əmax/
*''wir hans gemachez'' /wiː hɔŋəmax/
*''irl haz gemachez'' /il hak˭əmax/
*''deul hant gemachez'' /dyl hɔŋəmax/
Future tense:
*''ich will machen, du willt machen, ...''
Question marker: ''ist'z daz'' = /it˭as/ (e.g. ''Ist'z daz du leaubes mir ?'' /it˭as t˭u løp mi/ 'Do you love me?')
Inversion for questions is allowed for pronominal subjects only: e.g. ''Leaubes-du mir ?'' /løp t˭u mi/
*''leaube-ich'' /løbəx/
*''leaubes-du'' /løpt˭u/
*''leaubez-er'' /løpte/, ''leaubet-eu'' /løpty/, ''leaubet-ez'' /løptis/
*''leaubons-wir'' /løbuwi/
*''leaubez-irl'' /løptil/
*''leaubent-deul'' /løpt˭yl/
The past tense auxiliary ''han'' is inverted as follows:
*''habe-ich'' /habəx/ (different from uninverted form ''ich ha'')
*''has-du'' /hat˭u/
*''haz-er'' /haθe/, ''hat-eu'' /haθy/, ''hat-ez'' /haθis/
*''hans-wir'' /hɔŋwi/
*''haz-irl'' /haθil/
*''hant-deul'' /hɔndyl/
The verb ''nemen'' 'to take' is used as a passive auxiliary:
*''ich neme'' /əx nɛm/
*''du nimes'' /du nim/
*''er nimez'' /e nim/
*''wir nemons'' /wi nɛmu/
*''irl nemez'' /il nɛm/

===Pronouns===
The personal pronouns are as follows:

*sg. common ''mîn'' /miŋ~mi.n‿-/, sg. neuter ''mîz'' /mis~mi.ð‿-/, pl. ''mîne'' /min/
==Syntax==
{{PAGENAME}} is SVO (not V2) and zero-copula.
===Negation===
The negative particle ''neau'' /nø/ is placed after a verbal phrase but before a predicative adjective:
*''Ich haze dir neau.'' /əx haz di nø/ "I don't hate you."
*''Ez neau grauz genoug.'' /əs nø dʑoʊs gənoʊʔ/ "It's not big enough."
