<b>Flewtish</b> ([[w:Endonym|endonym]]: <b>Флӯтѡа [ˈɸluːtwa]</b> or <b>''Флӯтѡас глӯн''</b> [ˈɸluːtwas ɡluːŋ]) is a language spoken by the majority of the population in much of Northwest Russia and the [[w:Karelia|Karelia region]]. Flewtish is a [[w:Language isolate|language isolate]], meaning it does not [[w:Genetic relationship (linguistics)|genetically relate]] to any other known language on the planet.

Flewtish is a [[w:Language isolate|language isolate]], meaning it does not [[w:Genetic relationship (linguistics)|genetically relate]] to any other known language on the planet.


Flewtish is typologically agglutinative, using almost exclusively suffixal affixation to indicate number, tense, person and case. Flewtish is partially a [[w:Null-subject language|null-subject language]], depending on whether the subject can be implicitly indicated with certainty or not. Due to the [[w:Sprachbund|sprachbund effect]], Flewtish is an [[w:Subject–verb–object word order|SVO language]], but more archaic dialects are actually [[w:Subject–object-verb word order|SOV ones]]. It is a biscriptal language, using both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts to be written. An important aspect of the language is differentiating between labialized and non-labialized consonants (Referred in Flewtish as "rounded" and "unrounded") see eg. [ˈkʷáɣ.ok] "Warmth" and [ˈkáɣ.ok] "Deer".

While standardized, the language spans over a massive geographical area and as a result, forms a dialect continuum with the most extreme corners (from east Finland to [[w:Ukhta]] being completely unintelligible to each other. One example could be the simple sentence "My favorite pets are cats". Following are the two examples in the dialects spoken in Ukhta and Arkhangelsk respectively:

==Etymology and history==
==Etymology and history==
'''Flũtṽa''' is an evolution of Proto-Flewtish ''*ɸlydʰa'', meaning "Blooming" or "Saturated". The reason for this name is that the regions that Flewtish speakers settled were far more greener and developed than their previous homeland. Flewtish is possibly a [[w:Paleosiberian languages|Paleo-siberian]] language that through migration reached it's current territory. This can be further supported by similarities with the [[w:Yeniseian languages|Yeniseian]] languages, like having a pitch accent, vowel harmony and vowel length distinction. The most likely origin of the language is near the modern-day city of Bratsk in Russia.

Flewtish, from it's early years, was influenced by Mongolic, Turkic and later Indo-European and Uralic languages. The most obvious example would be the large amount of Finnic loanwords into Flewtish (eg. Кӣлъиту "to converse") but even titles from the Flewtish Kingdom such as "Gǎngÿán /ʔgâŋʸán/" (Leader, possibly related to Khagan), "Tãngṽrǐ /ʔtæ̃ŋʷɾiː/" (Same origin as Tengri) and "Tãěrṽágn /ʔtæ̃ɾ.wáŋ/" (Local ruler, related to Tarkhan). On the Indo-European side, the word "цӧѡўӻўг /ˈt͡sø.wy.ɣyg/" (Sheep) is probably borrowed from the Proto-Indo-European word '''*h₂ówis''' and the word "гамнегъ" (milking, from PIE ''*h₂melǵ-'').
