Myrynese language

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 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.

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
