| '''Idosian''' (''ee-DOH-see-ən''; natively 〈səy.i.do.sam〉 ''səyIdosm'' /səjiˈdosm̩/ lit. 'the language of the eastern people') is a major [[Tsimulh]] language mainly spoken in [[Verse:Tricin/herIdosm|herIdosm]], a country in East [[Verse:Tricin/Txapoalli|Txapoalli]]. It is one of the more innovative Tsimulh languages.

| |
| Idosian is a language with restricted initial consonants. The name is taken from one of Praimhín's conlang sketches.

| ==Todo==
| |
| *intervocalic ʔ, h after a, ɛ, ɔ, e, o > ɹ
| |
| *intervocalic ʔ, h after i > y, after u > w
| |
| *high i, u > i u
| |
| *e, o > i u
| |
| *First get some hiatusing vowels
| |
| *''im, in'' in closed syllables > ''am, an''
| |
| *p-less: p becomes glottal stop?
| |
|
| |
| there could be a rule where every unstressed syllable gets lenited
| |
| that would reduce the number of possible initial consonants
| |
| and if you couple that with post tonic syncope you could get some crazy phonotactics
| |
|
| |
| like no initial clusters or even initial stops but weird tibetan like clusters in the middle of a word
| |

| pda-sfëtsiv > hia-zëncm

| final ɛ, ɔ, a > i, u, ə, final everything else > Ø?

| |
| ===Consonants===
| |
| Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids. Idosian gained /ɹ/ via [[w:Linking and intrusive R#Intrusive R|R-intrusion]], under the influence of neighboring [[Shalian]].
| |
|
| |
| Modern Idosian has 26 consonants:

| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| No initial clusters or stops are allowed, but after a stressed syllable anything goes.
| |
|
| |
| ==Orthography==
| |
| Idosian is written in an orthography which lacks a letter for /ɹ/.
| |
| ==Grammar==
| |
| Like many Tsimulh languages, Idosian has remnants of a Bantu-style noun class system.
| |
|
| |
| Idosian morphology is more complex than that of other [[Tsimulh languages]] due to syncope of the various prefix elements.
| |
|
| |
| Also, Idosian has cases due to [[Shalian]] influence.
