'''Namic''', /ˈnɑːmɪk/ or /ˈnɛɪ̯mɪk/ (Namic Devanagari:  '''नाम्मकतवाक¨''', Latin: '''Nāmmaktavāka''' [[IPA for Namic|/naːmːat͡ʃtavaːka/]])  is an [[Attamian languages|Attamian]] language, a constructed ''a priori'' language related to both [[Attian]] and [[Damian]]. It draws inspiration from mainly the [[w:Indo-Iranian languages|Indo-Iranian]] branch of the [[[[w:Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] languages, with inspiration from the nonconcatenative morphology of the [[w:Semitic|Semitic]] languages.
'''Ris''', /ɹɪs/, (Devanagari:  '''रिस''', Latin: '''Ris''' [[IPA for Ris|/ɹɪs/]])  is an Rana language, a constructed ''a priori'' language related to [[Kiwi]]. It draws inspiration from mainly the [[w:Indo-Iranian languages|Indo-Iranian]] branch of the [[[[w:Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] languages, with inspiration from the nonconcatenative morphology of the [[w:Semitic|Semitic]] languages.
 
The language is tripartite and heavily fusional. Namic has lost the stress system of the [[Proto-Attamian]] language, and inherited a now grammaticalised tonal system which only applies to long and short vowels.


The language is a [[w:language isolate|language isolate]], and is thus not known to be related to any extant language. Ris has a normal-sized inventory of consonants and a fair amount of [[w:allophony|allophony]]. It is a [[w:fusional|fusional]] language and is morphosyntactically [[w:active-stative|active-stative]] and with a fluid subject. The [[w:morphology|morphology]] is evenly split between nominal and verbal inflections.

The following table portraits Namic's phonetic inventory of consonants. All consonants, except aspirated ones, may be geminated, which is phonemic, and represented by doubling the grapheme. The letter /h/ represents aspiration when succeding consonants, and breathy-voice when preceding vowels. "Nh", is an exception, being a velar nasal.

There is additional allophony, regarding phonation. The pairs [c - ɟ], [ç -ʝ], and [v - f]/[w - ʍ], are only represented by one grapheme each: <span style="font-size: 125%;">⟨</span>ȷ<span style="font-size:125%;">⟩</span>, <span style="font-size: 125%;">⟨</span>hy<span style="font-size:125%;">⟩</span>, and <span style="font-size: 125%;">⟨</span>v<span style="font-size:125%;">⟩</span> respectively. Their voiced counterpart is an allophone - see [[Nāmic#Consonant Assimilation| Consonant Assimilation]].

Thus, our conclusion is that the word '''vāka'''- voice, speach - shouldn't be pronounced [ˈvaːka], but rather [ˈfaːxa].

====Affricates====
In addition to these, there's a multitude of digraphs with corresponding affricates. It is important to note that the four digraphs <span style="font-size: 125%;">⟨</span>pt<span style="font-size:125%;">⟩</span>, <span style="font-size: 125%;">⟨</span>vt<span style="font-size:125%;">⟩</span>, <span style="font-size: 125%;">⟨</span>kt<span style="font-size:125%;">⟩</span>, and <span style="font-size: 125%;">⟨</span>ȷt<span style="font-size:125%;">⟩</span>symbolise consonant clusters with an affricate onset. They are not affected by lenition.
