About Itimař
Proto-language to the Itimařic family, originating in the southeastern Miralayas roughly through 1300-1000 BCE. Diverges into three major dialect groups: Northern, Eastern, and Southern.
Itimař's notable phonological features include voiceless nasals, aspirated-voiceless-voiced stop distinctions, and unrounded back vowels. The grammar makes heavy use of suffixing and ablaut to form a highly agglutinating and fusional head-final system. Simple noun declension with five cases and various postpositional clitics. Verbs are complex and conjugate for person, number, animacy, tense, mood, and many voices, as well as aspect marking that is no longer productive.
