Hello. I just came up with a fictional language called Prud. This language has nominative-absolute alignment, is weakly agglutinative, and has VOS word order.
Consonants
Voiceless stops /p̪ c q/
Voiced stops: /b d g/
Nasal consonants: /m n ŋ~ɴ /
Semivowels/Approximants: /ɹ l j w /
Fricatives: /f v s z /
Vowels
Plain vowels: /æ i ʉ /
Diphthongs: / ɛi ɛu iu ui /
External Relationships
Prud is most closely related to the Daruv-Wakeni languages.
Numbers
1. qʉ
2. p̪æp̪
3. gigi
4. dicæq
5. gɛul
Cases:
Nominative:
Absolutive: subject of an intransitive verb and direct object of a transitive verb
Pegative: Marks the agent of an action of giving
Peregrive: Indicates location from abroad or from outer space (name comes from Latin peregrē, meaning from abroad)

Each unvoiced consonant is shifted one POA backwards?ThatAnalysisGuy wrote: /p̪ c q/ /b d g/
Why is /ɛI/ considered a diphthong?
Re: Prud language (work in progress)
I think he probably meant to write /ɛi/ with /ɛl/ being a typo.

Sorry about that, it was a typo. I meant he diphthong ɛi. Also, the unusual stop shift represents a unique development from an earlier stage of the language.Titus Flavius wrote: ↑11 Nov 2021 09:48Each unvoiced consonant is shifted one POA backwards?ThatAnalysisGuy wrote: /p̪ c q/ /b d g/
