"Welcome, friend, to the page about Tarumigarn!"
Hi I kinda hate this language in it's current form now please go look at
Vesseltongue instead plox thank u
One of the languages spoken by the Ancient Human civilisation in my conworld. Although the Ancient Humans were just as linguistically diverse as Earth, Tarumigarn seems to have fulfilled the function of a global lingua franca. This grammar focuses on the standard, written language as spoken and written in the Information Age and Early Space Age.
Not very naturalistic, as the standard language was made from a hodgepodge of dialects and then enforced so harshly on linguistic minorities it makes the French seem tolerant. Luckily, this has eased up recently.
features:
-rhotics are all over the place in the different dialects, so much so that dialects are grouped based on how they pronounce Standard Tarumigarn /ɻ/
In U-dialects, ɻ is ʁ
In A-dialects, ɻ is ɹ
In T-dialects, ɻ is ʀ. There is 1 dialect that pronounces ɻ as r, and it is included in this group.
In F-dialects, ɻ is ɾ
dialects that keep ɻ as it is are C-dialects.
-Base-12 numbers (Ancient Humans have 6 fingers, the 6th being a 2nd opposable thumb)
-6 cases: Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Locative & Instrumental-Comititative
-Japanese style pronouns/deictic classifiers.
Verbs conjugate for TAM only. 6 aspects, 6 moods, 6 tenses.
Goals:
Converb system, no adjectives as a distinct word class and a highly regular grammar that works in multiples of 3, with a special focus on 6, a sacred number in Tarumi religion.
