| This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
| |
|
| |
| I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
| |
| II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
| |
| III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

| ===Consonants===
| | Proto-Pulchric has six vowels: ''a e i o u ə'', and the following consonants: |

| |}
| |
| | |
| Emphatic consonants are uvularized, as in Arabic.
| |
| | |
| Aspiration is allophonic in voiceless stops. The Luminese dialect aspirates stops more strongly than in the Rencadic dialect.
| |
| | |
| ====Gemination====
| |
| Every consonant except /w j h/ can occur geminated between vowels. Geminate taps are realized as trills.
| |
| | |
| Gemination is indicated in the orthography by doubling the consonant letter; geminate ''ng'' and ''NG'' are written ''nng'' and ''NNG'' respectively.

| |
| | |
| Diphthongs: /ai/ /au/ (written ''ai au'' respectively)
| |
| | |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| Only CV syllables are allowed, except:
| |
| *a geminate consonant can begin a non-initial syllable
| |
| *CVC and CVCː are allowed as the last syllable
| |
| | |
| ===Stress===
| |
| Stress is almost always on the first long syllable, or if no syllable is long, the last syllable in the Rencadic dialect and the first syllable in the Luminese dialect.
| |
| | |
| ===Morphophonology===
| |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| Proto-Pulchric has an extremely simple morphology, almost completely isolating.
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! ''Baira'' "leaf" !! Singular !! Plural
| |
| |-
| |
| | Nominative || ''Baira'' || ''Baira emmi''
| |
| |-
| |
| | Accusative || ''Baira ta'' || ''Baira emmi ta''
| |
| |-
| |
| | Genitive || ''Baira i'' || ''Baira emmi i''
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| Proto-Pulchric has other postpositions as well: ''mi'' (in), ''ro'' (with), ''po'' (like), ...
| |
| | |
| ===Pronouns===
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! !! Singular !! Plural
| |
| |-
| |
| | First person || ''me:'' || ''ko:NGe''
| |
| |-
| |
| | Second person || ''tihe'' ||
| |
| |-
| |
| | Third person || ''qel'' ||
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| Proto-Pulchric lacks second and third person plural forms, so either the singular forms are used or combined with the word ''emmi'' (many). The word ''ko:NGe'' also means "people, folk" (like German "Leute").
| |
| | |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"

| |

| |
| |colspan=2| ''mete:PPi''
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| Proto-Pulchric often uses verbal nouns, which use the suffix ''-a:t'' or ''-or'' depending on the verb.
| |
| | |
| Verbs do not inflect for tense in general. There are a few exceptions though. The copula 'to be' inflects as follows:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| !rowspan=2| "to be"
| |
| !colspan=2|Present
| |
| !colspan=2|Past

| |
| | Second person || ''qod'' || ''qote'' || ''pen'' || ''pette'' ||''ki:nad'' || ''ki:nate''

| |
| |colspan=2| ''peme:PPi''
| |
| |colspan=2| ''ki:ne:PPi''
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Constituent order===
| |
| | |
| Proto-Pulchric word order is head-final and SVO. In Rencadic dialects it's V2, just like German.
| |
| ===Noun phrase===
| |
| | |
| Noun phrases are head-initial if the modifier is a relative clause and head-final if the modifier is an adjective. The words ''qel'' (animate) and ''Tau'' (inanimate) are used as relative pronouns.
| |
| | |
| ''Daha qel qi:Tob'' "the person who thinks"
| |

| | The exact realizations of ''S L N'' are not fully known in universe; the linguist Cimaterol Pradaxa reconstructed them as retroflexes, which is consistent with the Proto-Pulchric reflexes but data from Crockartoot, discovered much later, hints that these could have been palatal instead. |
