[[Ancient Tzaloxian/Lexicon]] | |||
'''Ancient Tzaloxian''' (''Fiüssu na Hiaini'' natively; ''in huēyaca tzaloxin'' in [[Naquian]]) is one of the two main languages of the Naquian civilization in [[Tricin]]. | |||
==Introduction== | |||
''tuipa'' = city | |||
''Faäni'' = a name | |||
==Classification== | |||
Tzaloxian is the proto-language of the Tzaloxic language family. Most Trician scholars believe it's a language isolate, though there are pseudolinguistic theories connecting it to languages of Bjeheond. | |||
Modern Tzaloxic varieties are still spoken in southern Txapoalli though by very few people. | |||
The ancient language is popular among college students and professors in Anøvr, many of whom pronounce it with a thick Eevo or Bhadhagha accent. | |||
==Mythology== | |||
==Phonology== | |||
===Orthography=== | |||
===Consonants=== | |||
Tzaloxian has a simple consonant inventory with only 12 consonants: | |||
*the stops ''p t z c h'', pronounced /p t ts k ʔ/ | |||
*the nasals ''m n ŋ'', pronounced as in IPA | |||
*the fricatives ''f s x'', pronounced /f s x~ħ~h/ | |||
*the liquid ''l'', which is /ɾ/ when single and /l:/ when geminated | |||
''F'', ''s'' and ''z'' before ''i'' are commonly pronounced /ç/, /ʃ/ and /tʃ/ respectively. | |||
===Vowels=== | |||
Tzaloxian has 45 different vowels, perhaps the most of any major Trician language. There are: | |||
* the simple vowels ''a i u'' /ɐ ɪ ʊ/ | |||
* the double vowels and diphthongs: ''aa ai au ia ii iu ua ui uu'' /a:~ɑ: ɛi ɔu ɪɛ i: ɪʊ ʊɔ ʏɪ u:~y:/ | |||
* the triple vowels ''aä iï uü äa ïi üu'' /ɐɑ: ɨi: ɨu: ɒ:ə i:e u:o/ | |||
* the overlong diphthongs ''äi aï äu aü ïa iä ïu iü üa uä üi uï'' /ɑ:ɪ əi: ɑ:ʊ əu: ijə~iʝ:ə jɑ: ijo~iʝ:o ju: uwə~uɣʷ:ə wɑ: uwe~uɣʷ:e wi:/ | |||
* the triphthongs ''aia aiu aua aui iai iau iua iui uai uia uau uiu'' /ɛjə~ɛʝ:ə ɛjʏ~ɛʝ:ʏ ɔwə~ɔɣʷ:ə ɔwɪ~ɔɣʷ:ɪ jɛɪ jɔʊ~jœʏ jʊə~ʏ:ə jʏi~jʏ:~ʏ: wɛɪ wɪə wɔʊ wɪw~wɯ:~ʷɯ:/ | |||

==Phonotactics== | |||
A typical Tzaloxian root looks like CV(C(:)S), where C is a consonant; V is one of the 45 vowels; and S is a simple vowel (a, i or u). | |||
The glottal stop can't be geminated. | |||
There is vowel harmony in Tzaloxian; if V ends in ''i'' or ''ï'', S can't be ''u'', and vice versa (S can't be ''i'' if V ends in ''u'' or ''ü''). So for example: | |||
* ''fiüssu'' and ''fiüssa'' are valid words, but *''fiüssi'' isn't; | |||
* ''ciuana'', ''ciuani'' and ''ciuanu'' are all valid words. | |||
==Morphology== | |||
<!-- 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. --> | |||
<!-- Here are some example subcategories: | |||
Nouns | |||
Adjectives | |||
Verbs | |||
Adverbs | |||
Particles | |||
Derivational morphology | |||
--> | |||
==Syntax== | |||
Tzaloxian is VSO, head-initial and analytic, like Eevo or Hawaiian. | |||
===Prepositions=== | |||
*''na'' = from, of | |||
