Alphabet

Before the Unitɪx people were conquered, the traditional alphabet was used in all regions. Unitɪxscan was always maintained but the alphabet changed through influence from the Roman SPQR (South) and later Russia through russification during Russian expansion and the Soviet Union (East). Now, any of the three alphabets are used but official documents, street signs, advertisements, and other public objects use the traditional alphabet.

History

Unitixscan Map.jpg

Unitɪxscan’s language is descended from Proto-Slavic (Slavic) (Italic and Slavic branches of Indo-European). This language uses both the Slavic and Latin alphabets.

The Unitɪxscan language never had its own state and is NOT a national language in any of the countries above and is not even recognized as one in the UN, but it is spoken in the ones above. There are people around the world who speak this language (such as in the USA), but the majority live in the countries shown in the picture (Eastern Europe). Russia went to war with the Унітъі Попули (Unitɪx people) who allied with: Sibir Khanate (until 1598), Daurs, Yakuts, Chukchi, and Grand Duchy of Lithuania in order to preserve their culture and language.

Unitɪxscans fought against the Russians but the Russians but were conquered among all of their allies. This was one reason a Unitɪxscan or United State was never created. Many had to assimilate to the Russian language and its customs and the people became erased from the world. The plight of Unitɪxscans can be closely compared to that of Ukrainians and their fight against russification. In fact, most Unitɪxscan people lived in Ukraine as the unrecognized capital (Unit'a Urba) is in current day Lviv, Ukraine.

Phonology

Syllable Structure

Unitɪscian’s syllable structure rule is the following: [C/S]AND[V/D] OR [V/D]AND[C/S]. This means that all words must consist of a consonant and vowel/diphthong in any order. There are no 1-letter words, 2-vowel letter words, or 2-consonant letter words in Unitɪx. Any: C = Consonant, including liquids (/l/, /r/) S = Semivowel (/w/, /j/…) V = Vowel D = Diphthong

All unitix plosives (stops) are unaspirated. /v/ will always be used between two vowels and /b/ will usually only start a word. The <x> is pronounced like an /h/ in english but velar NOT like /ks/. Ex. Унітих = Unitɪh

Clusters

In Unitɪx, consonant clusters show that plosives do not go with fricatives They additionally don’t go with Glides (Semi-vowels), liquids, Trills, and Nasals YES: Кла, Пра, NO: Тпа, Ква

(tongue blade ([t], [d]) or body ([k], [ɡ]), lips ([p], [b]), or glottis ([ʔ])

Glides: (/iː uː/, /j w/) Liquids: (/l/, /ʎ/, /r/ (Рускъа: /lʲ/ /rʲ/ /l/ /r/)) Trills: /r/ Nasals: /m/ /n/

Letter Changes

Unitɪxscan letters vаry throughout the regions. All the vowels do not change whether they are unstressed or stressed. East - uses /ɨ/ instead of /ɪ/ for the letter ы in the Unitɪxscan alphabet. Traditional - uses /ɪ/ instead of /ɨ/ for the letter и in the Unitɪxscan alphabet. South - Only has 5 vowels. They use the same letter for /ɨ/-/ɪ/-/i/

Diphthongs

Unitɪx has unique letters that signify diphthongs (all using the letter /i/) which are: ya (я), ye (є), yi (ї), yy (ÿ), yo (R), yu (ю) These diphthongs became letters because, in the Unitɪxscan orthography, these are viewed as one character due to their abundance.

Regional Changes: Dialect

Regional Changes: Dialect Southerners say <с> instead of <ш> if it is before a stressed vowel. Ex. zаєш Southerners say <с> instead of <ц> if it is before a stressed vowel. Ex. дайлец Southerners say <н> instead of <ч> if it is used after a stressed vowel. Ex. донка

This makes the second person singular present sound like Spanish/Latin -as. The southerners have more Roman influence. The Roman Empire extended that far and made a new dialect for the Unitɪx language’s original dialect is further north because they were unbothered by any outside influences.

Nouns

Nouns in Unitɪx decline and have three genders, a feature unusual to most languages but familiar to speakers of Slavic languages. There is an animacy distinction. Animate nouns include people, animals (including bugs and bacteria), and most creatures that exhibit movement or sentience. Inanimate nouns are everything else, including natural features that move (such as waves, wind, or eyes). All neuter nouns are inanimate but masculine and feminine nouns can be both animate or inanimate.

Special Rules for Nouns

How to use the Cases

  1. Nominative: Subject, Predicate Nom.
  2. Genitive: Possession/Prepositions: д/до(to) з/зі(from)
  3. Dative: I.O./Prepositions: к/ко(to)
  4. Accusative: D.O./Prepositions: дя(for)
  5. Instrumental: Means/Instrument/Prepositions: с/со(with) під(under) нід(on) за(behind)
  6. Locative: Location/Preposition: ву(in) на(on)
  7. Vocative: Direct Speech

There are two ways to have endings for prepositions:

1: Use the prepositional (now also the instrumental) case with any preposition

2: Locative case is used for in/on/at, and the Instrumental case is used for “manner or means/instrument”. Other prepositions like “about” will usually take the accusative

Prepositions

All prepositions are connected with the word that succeeds them with an apostrophe. It can be connected with adjectives or nouns. Whichever comes first. Additionally, when the instrumental case is used without any preposition, the prepositon "со" or "with" is always inferred. The use is optional.

Every day with strange signs.
Кажнъе дейн таємнимі знакомі.
Кажнъе дейн со'таємнимі знакомі.
Кажнъе дейн с'унітискаю земляю.

Adjectives

All adjectives MATCH the ending of the nouns. They decline based on the noun’s part of speech (ex. Subject vs. DO). All adjectives can go before or after the noun they’re modifying. ь/ъ are used in the Nominative Case. For all the other cases, the ь/ъ are dropped

Verbs

Conjugations end in (from infinitives) from each vowel:

ати, яти
ети, єти
іти, їти
ити, їти
оти, Rти
ути, юти

To conjugate, drop the /ти/ оr from the infinitive. The stem will always end in a vowel. Унітих has 9 aspects and 3 tenses. There is a perfective and imperfective for each tense (Past, present, future)

Irregular verbs

To be - Єти

Participles

The participle can be formed by taking away the -ти from the verb and adding -ц

Participles must decline like adjectives, so just add the correct endings that agree with the P.O.S. of the noun to /ц/ and your participle is complete.
