Due to several drastic changes during the course of its development, along with being the first language I created, the language is loosely based off of [[:w:Altaic languages|Proto-Altaic]], the [[:w:Slavic languages|Slavic languages]], the [[:w:Northwest Caucasian languages|Northwest-Caucasian languages]], a tad bit of German, and my native idiolect of English, but is ultimately [[A priori|a priori]]. | Due to several drastic changes during the course of its development, along with being the first language I created, the language is loosely based off of a variety of sources, such as [[:w:Altaic languages|Proto-Altaic]], the [[:w:Slavic languages|Slavic languages]], the [[:w:Northwest Caucasian languages|Northwest-Caucasian languages]], a tad bit of German, and my native idiolect of English, but is ultimately [[A priori|a priori]]. | ||

===Orthography=== | ===Orthography=== | ||
The orthography of Dãterške is a monocase [[:w:Russian orthography|Russian]]-inspired Cyrillic alphabet, and is mostly phonemic, in that each letter corresponds directly to a single sound or modification on a sound (such as [◌ʼ], [◌ˤ], [◌̃], etC). It's important to note that, unlike many languages, certain modifications (besides nasalization, ң) represent phonemes to themselves and not merely modifiers for a grapheme or phoneme. However, an exception to both prior exceptions stated here is the usage of the digraphs «щӀ» & «җӀ» to represent the consonantal sequences /ʃt͡ʃ/ & /ʒd͡ʒ/, | The orthography of Dãterške is a monocase [[:w:Russian orthography|Russian]]-inspired Cyrillic alphabet, and is mostly phonemic, in that each letter corresponds directly to a single sound or modification on a sound (such as [◌ʼ], [◌ˤ], [◌̃], etC).

Because of its relatively large phonemic inventory, the language had to use relatively unconventional uses and extensions for the letters in modern Cyrillic. This, combined with its monocase typography & usage of circum-sentence punctuation in a manner standardized from Spanish, makes a uniquely recognizable written language. Listed below are all of the characters in the alphabet, associated values, and letter names in IPA and Latin, in no particular order due to the lack of any strict alphabetical order for the language. | Because of its relatively large phonemic inventory, the language had to use relatively unconventional uses and extensions for the letters in modern Cyrillic.
