+ +The _nominative_ is the subject of sentences, and the unmarked form. The _genitive_ is used for the object of sentences, the possessive, and for modifying other nouns (see [below](#adjectivals)). + + +
+```gloss +Jánim línait bairusi. +Jáni-m línai-t bairu-si +John-DEF mouse-GEN see-RPST +John saw a mouse. +``` + +```gloss +Jánimat línai +Jáni-ma-t línai +John-DEF-GEN mouse +John's mouse +``` + +```gloss +ausut línai +ausu-t línai +large-GEN mouse +a large mouse +``` +
+ +For _inalienable_ possession (body parts, family members, etc), the [definite](#definiteness) is usually used instead of an explicit genitive construction. + +
+```gloss +Nattumatł bairusina. +nattu-ma-t-ł bairu-si-na +parent-DEF-GEN-PL see-PST-1SG +I saw my [the] parents. +``` +
+ +The _comitative_ case is used for 'and' between two nouns, as well as 'with' in the sense of 'accompanied by'. It is used on all but the _last_ noun being conjoined, with the last one taking the semantic case for the whole sequence. The opposite case, the _caritive_, means 'without', and is also used for _negative_ possessive statements. (See the adessive, described below, for affirmative statements.) + +
+```gloss +suksł ká +suksł ká +they;COM I +they and I +``` + +```gloss +Kalńkas þasit bairusina. +kalń-kas þasi-t bairu-si-na +cat-COM dog-GEN see-RPST-1SG +I saw a cat and a dog. +``` + +```gloss +Sairiassa aina. +sairia-ssa ai-na +money-CAR be-1SG +I don't have any money. +``` + +```gloss +Kat fadaukas ká rut ǧimamlis šikkúsi. +kat fadau-kas ká rut ǧima-m-li-s šikkú-si +my friend-COM I his house-DEF-IN-LAT go-RPST +I went with my friend to his house. +``` +
+ + +The most common use of the _instrumental_ case is the [theme] of ditransitive sentences (while the recipient is in the genitive). It is also used for 'with' as in 'using', in distributive phrases such as «kallila» 'in threes, in sets of three, three each', for quantity expressions such as units, and quantifiers like 'every'. + +[theme]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secundative_language + +

For example, in the second sentence below Sam has one dog, and in the third he is implied to have several. The names of people and places are also definite. + +After a consonant or «-ń», the definite suffix is «-ḿ»; the sequence «ńḿ» is pronounced as a single syllable, as #/nm̩/. After «-m» or «-ḿ», the suffix is «-am». The definite suffix occurs _between_ the stem and the case ending. Between the «-m» form and a case suffix starting with a consonant cluster, or the genitive singular «-t», an extra epenthetic «-a» is added. + +

When one noun modifies another attributively, the [genitive case](#corecases) suffix «-(a)t» is used. Additional adjectives after the first additionally take a special conjunctive suffix «-as», similar to the comitative case. Adjectives, like other noun modifiers, precede the head noun in most cases. However, they can follow it if they indicate a property considered inherent to the objects in question. + +Genitive forms can be used as adverbs with the suffix «-tta»; the conjunctive variant is «-ttás». + +

+ +From adjectivals, several further derivations can be made: the _equative_, which expresses that two objects have an equal measure of some property; the _comparative_, which says that one object has more of a property than another object; and the _superlative_, which claims that an object has the most of a property.

+ +There are three basic vowels #/i a u/, diphthongs #/ai au iə uə/, and syllabic consonants #/m̩ n̩ r̩ l̩/. Neither of these last two sets have a length distinction, and have the same duration as a long vowel. Note that #/u uː/ are substantially more central than #/i iː/, and the initial place of #/uə/ is further back than pure #/uː/. + +Long vowels, and syllabic consonants other than «l», are spelt with a acute accent: «í á ú ḿ ń ŕ». A syllabic «l», because of its height, replaces the acute with a stroke: «ł». The diphthongs are spelt «ai au ia ua». + + +## Allophony + +
+ + + +
+ +* After a velar consonant, including #/ɫ w/, the vowels #/a aː ai i iː iə u uː uə/ are backed and lowered to the forms labelled #[ɑ ɑː ɑe ɛ eː eə ɔ oː ɔə], respectively, in the figures above. +* After #/j/, #/i iː iə/ become #[e eː eə]. +* After #/ʧ ʤ ʃ j/, #/u uː/ is fronted to #[y ʉː]. +* Before a syllabic consonant, a small schwa may be inserted if necessary to make pronunciation easier. This is most common between #/ln̩ nl̩/ and two copies of a single sound. For example, «kalń» #/kaln̩/ #[kɐlᵊn] 'cat'. +* \#/r̩ l̩/ are pronounced as #[ɻː ɫ̩ː]. +* Syllabic #/n̩/ assimilates to #[ŋ̍] before a velar consonant; no other assimilation for syllabic nasals occurs, though. +* Unstressed short vowels are somewhat reduced, #/a/ more than the others. + + +# Consonants + +Where unspecified, consonants are spelt the same way as in IPA. + +| | Labial | Dental | Postalveolar | Velar | +|-------------|----------|-----------------|--------------|----------| +| Plosive | #/p b/ | #/t d/ | #/ʧ ʤ/ «č ǧ» | #/k g/ | +| Fricative | #/f/ | #/θ s/ «þ/ð, s» | #/ʃ/ «š» | #/x/ «h» | +| Nasal | #/m/ | #/n/ | | | +| Flap | #/ɾ/ «r» | | | | +| Approximant | #/w/ | #/l/ | #/j/ | | + +The phonemes #/p t ʧ k s ʃ m n ɾ l x/ can be geminated.

Geminate versions of most consonants are spelt by doubling the letter: «pp», «tt», «kk», etc. The phoneme #/θ/ is spelt «þ» word-initially (and at the beginning of components of compound words), and «ð» elsewhere.[^ð] + +[^ð]: An Icelandic person on the Internet once told me off for having intramorphemic 'þ's in a language and it has stuck with me since. + +## Allophony + +* Before #/i iː iə/, #/ɾ/ becomes #[ʑ̞], a laminal fricative with only a small amount of actual friction, almost #[ɹ̻]. +* A nasal followed by a plosive assimilates to the same place of articulation (but for compound words this is not reflected in the spelling), for example «rabanpa» #[ravampa] 'what book?'. +* The sequences #/ʧs ʃs sʃ/ are pronounced as #[tʃː ʃː ʃː]. +* Nasals before #/s x/ decay to a nasalisation of the previous vowel, or are dropped entirely if that vowel is a syllabic consonant. +* Voiced plosives #/b d ʤ ɡ/ become fricatives #[v ð ʒ ɣ] between proper vowels. The allophone #[v] is pronounced #[β] by some speakers. +* The velar fricative #/x/ becomes #[h] before #/r̩/, and is palatalised to #[ç] before #/i iː iə/. +* Long #/ʧː/ is pronounced as #[ṯːʃ]. Long #/ɾ l/ become #[ʐː ɫː]. +* Non-final #/l/ is velarized #[ɫ] after a back vowel (including the allophones #[ɑ ɑː]). After other vowels, it is palatalised. +* Non-syllabic #/l/ is pronounced as #[ɬʲ] at the end of words, even after a back vowel. After #/t/ it is #[ɬ]. The phoneme #/ɾ/ is also devoiced #[ɾ̥] word-finally. The sequence #/lθ/ is realised as #[ɬʲː]. +* In many dialects, the long obstruents #/pː tː ʧː kː sː ʃː/ are pronounced as ejectives #[pʼ tʼ ʧ ʼ kʼ sʼ ʃʼ], and the long sonorants #/mː nː lː/ as #[bᵐ dⁿ ɮː]. + + +# Syllable structure + +
+The allowed shape of a syllable is CV(C) where V is any vowel and C a consonant, such that all clusters take one of the following forms: + +* KC, where + K can be any of + #/m n l r θ s ʃ t/ _(coda consonants)_; +* FN, + where F can be + #/f θ s ʃ x/ _(fricatives)_ and + N can be + #/m n/ _(nasals)_; +* P#/s/, where + P can be #/p t ʧ k/ _(voiceless plosives)_; +* \#/pj bj lj rj/; and +* geminate consonants. + +Aside from these, a word can also start with a vowel. At the end of a word, the consonants from K are allowed. A syllabic consonant cannot be next to the non-syllabic form of the same consonant---for example, the sequences #/ll̩/ and #/l̩l/ are not possible. Two distinct syllabic consonants can be next to each other, however---even without a non-syllabic consonant in between---and are pronounced as two separate syllables as normal. + +Sometimes an inflectional ending can cause an invalid sequence of syllabic and non-syllabic consonant. In this case, the sequence is replaced with «a» plus a long form of the consonant: «suaþł» 'speaker'---«suaþalla» 'from a speaker'. + +Occasionally, loanwords break the consonant clustering rules, such as «mikrugram». +
+ + +# Stress + +Words are stressed on the first long vowel; if there are no long vowels, _or_ the only one is in the final syllable of multiple, then the stress is on the first syllable. For the purposes of deciding stress placement, neither diphthongs nor syllabic consonants are counted as long. + + +# Epenthesis + +Many inflectional endings begin with a consonant. In some cases, this will cause an illegal consonant cluster according to the above rules. Therefore, an epenthetic vowel will sometimes need to be inserted. This vowel depends on the affix being added, and so is given at the same time as the inflections themselves. Note that if multiple inflections are added, only the extra vowels necessary to make the word legal (going left to right) are inserted: as further affixes are stacked, these will appear to surface and vanish again.

As a general rule the +> sources for these sentences have been elementary-level educational +> publications meant to provide a student with rote practise exercises. This +> means that the same sentence structure will appear many times with only +> slight variations in the nouns and verbs used. For example, these sentences +> from 1200 Graded Sentences for Analysis: +> +> * A cheerful fire is blazing on the hearth. +> * Seven little sisters were walking in a row. +> * Some beautiful roses are blooming in our garden. +> * The boys are playing in the lot. +> * The little girl was playing with her kitten. +> +> Granted, these sentences may use different conjugations of a verb, and +> different declensions of the various nouns and pronouns, but aside from those +> trivial difference, these sentences are essentially identical with respect to +> the syntactical features they are meant to test or demonstrate. That kind of +> repetition is fine for rote training, but it is not really necessary for +> testing a conlang. To serve that purpose there needs to be only one sentence +> of the type: "Roses are red." +> +> What is necessary is a variety of unique sentences each of which tests some +> different aspect of the conlang. This collection was constructed by putting +> together several more repetative lists and culling out that larger +> collection, those sentences which duplicate syntactic principles already +> present earlier in the list. +> +> Below are 218 sentences selected from a collection of 1200 sentences, with +> all those that are essentially duplicates removed. +> +> Some sentences have been slightly modified to remove references to a specific +> culture or time, to make the sentence more "universal" for conlangs of any +> era or culture. For example "We went to London..." has been changed to "We +> went to the village...". In other sentences allowances will have to made for +> conlangs from cultures that don't have Mondays, windows, or snow. The +> important thing is whether the conlang being tested can handle the meaning of +> sentences of that general structure. + +1. The sun shines. +2. The sun is shining. +3. The sun shone. +4.

Each syllable is written in a block indicating different features of each part of the syllable. + + +## Initials + +Initials are classed first into six basic shaped based on place of articulation. Laterals are counted as distinct places. + +
+ +------- ------- ------- + #|pa| #|da| #|la| + #|ta| #|ka| #|ła| +------- ------- ------- + +
+ +Other consonants are built by systematically adding modifiers above these bases. For example, for #|ta|: + +

Humble first person pronouns add #|lok|. (#|ŋa| doesn't allow either.) + + +# Verbs + +## Aspect + +Tense in Tengan is not expressed explicitly. The adverb #|dxop| 'earlier' is frequently used to emphasise an action took place in the past, but is not mandatory, and more specific time phrases are also common. The perfective aspect is marked using #|zú| after the modality marker. + + +## Modality + +The main verb of each clause requires a modality marker of some sort after it. + +### Evidentials + +The indicative mood is split into six evidentiality levels, indicating why and how strongly the speaker believes the information to be true: + +* first-hand direct sensory information with #|sa|; +* inferred with #|ddzé|; +* assumed with #|kwé| (weaker than #|ddzé|); +* reported (second-hand) with #|phàj|; +* reported _dubious_ information with #|mot|; +* \#|tow| for hypotheticals. + +When telling a story from the third person, #|phàj| is used. + + +### Interrogative + +Yes-no questions are marked with #|maj|. Content questions, e.g., with #|fon| 'what', do not also use #|maj|. + + +### Imperative + +The imperative, with #|łó|, is used both for commands and plural propositions. The subject is not dropped in imperatives. + +

+ + +# Adjectives + +Attributive adjectives precede the noun the modify, unless the indefinite article [«na»](#indef) is also present, in which case they follow the noun. If they follow the noun, then the first undergoes soft mutation if it ends with an oral vowel, and nasal mutation if it ends with a nasal vowel. + +- «hwes coros ąeźe» '[the] good big lizard' + (adjectives precede noun «ąeźe») +- «na nąeźe wes coros» 'a good big lizard' + («na» is present, so adjectives follow noun, and «hwes» is mutated after «--e») + +## Agreement + +Attributive adjectives agree with the case but not number or animacy of their head noun. The endings depend on whether they end with a consonant or vowel. + +

+ + +## Nouns & adjectives + + +### Case + +Nouns have five cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, and locative. The last of these is used only with preposition-type words. As a result of the inflectional suffixes, nouns almost always end in a consonant. The only exception is words ending in #/ɪ/ or #/i/, which gain an extra #/j/ before the suffixes. The spelling similarly gains a «–j». + +Nouns are divided into a few classes. Each class requires the use of a specific inflection class of «as», labelled #!A!, #!B!, or #!C!. The conventional labels for the classes are: + +I. Sapient #!(A)! sapients +II. Water #!(B)! bodies of water, and the sky +III. Ground #!(A)! the ground, rocks, metals, chemical elements +IV. Artifice #!(C)! handheld tools, small plastic items, electronics +V. Spiritual #!(C)! gods, the mind & soul, large natural events, language +VI. Containers #!(B)! boxes, pans, bowls, wardrobes, etc; + beds, chairs, and other furniture for sitting or lying on +VII. Clothing #!(B)! clothing and carried objects like umbrellas and bags +VIII. Food #!(C)! food and drink +IX. Animal #!(B)! animals (including mythical creatures) + +(**TODO** zk names for genders) + +Not all nouns fall into the class which the labels would suggest, and if none of the labels fit then the choice is arbitrary. (As is usual with #!NOM!–#!ACC! languages, #!NOM!;#!SG! is the citation form in dictionaries.)
