The Myrynese language is a language isolate in eastern Keltia, spoken by about 47,000 Myrynese people in their own city state. It has been influenced by other languages, such as Lothlarian/Menelmacari, Juc and Martino.

Phonology

See list of legal syllables

Myrynese has three vowels [a], [u] and [ə] (written a, u, and y respectively).

Consonants are b, d, g, k, l, m, n, ŋ, p, r, s, t, v, and z. They have their IPA values (roughly speaking).

Grammar

Verbs

Verbs are conjugated by aspect (neutral, continuous, perfect), person, object, voice (active or passive), whether negative, etc.

Use drak- (stem for "to see") as an example.

Negation is indicated by prefix vy-, e.g., vydrakyld ("has not been seen")

ASPECT

Form Example English approx
Neutral – drak see, sees
continuous -u draku (Is) seeing
Perfect -t drakt (Has) seen

VOICE

Form Example English approx Comment
Neutral -l dragl (drak+l) is seen -k- is voiced to be in harmony with -l-.
continuous -lu draglu (drak+l+u) (Is) being seen -k- is voiced to be in harmony with -l-.
Perfect -ld (*-lt) drakyld (drak+l+t) (Has) been seen Adding -y- to ensure that syllables are legal; no voicing of -k- thus needed; the -t- from perfect is however voiced as -l- is also voiced
