'''Feiden''' is a [[Wiobic languages|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). | |||
