Draft:Shared Alliantic

The name Shared Alliantic is a translation from Կ𐓟ʌ‘ჲиı [tɬalʲ'janʲi], which can also mean Common Alliantic language. This name reflects the grammar and lexicon being shared with different languages.

• The prefix Կ indicates that the language combines features from various languages.
• The base 𐓟ʌ‘ჲи means alliance and is derived from some Slavic languages.
• The suffix ı denotes an adjective, but the entire word is treated as a noun because it is short for Կ𐓟ʌ‘ჲиıмove /tɬalʲjanʲimɔvɛ/, where мove stands for language.

Shared Alliantic features 20 consonants (/m, n, p, b, t, d, k, g, s, z, ʂ, ʐ, f, v, θ, h, ɦ, j, r, ɭ/), 5 affricates (/ts, dz, ɖʐ, tɕ, tɬ/), and 6 vowels (/i, u, ɪ, ɛ, ɔ, a/). Phonological features include diphthongs (mostly ◌̅), vowel hiatus, contrasting vowel length (with :◌), and consonant clusters. SA does not feature tones or vowel harmony. There are no strict stressing rules for individual words, but usually the word root is stressed.

Some letters can be replaced to simplify pronunciation. Doing so does not count as an error if the word doesn't change in meaning. It is not enforced and the list below is not definitive. They are always written the same way to make understanding context easier, except the letters ი and ı, they're swappable.

File:Shared Alliantic Poster 1.png rise with us".]]Shared Alliantic has a left-to-right alphabetic writing system with separate vowels and consonants. It contains 12 vowels, 25 consonants and 18 punctuation marks. All the characters are Unicode-compatible, but most fonts may not be suitable for displaying them.

The characters come from different scripts like Greek, Cyrrilic, Latin, Armenian, Shavian, Runic, Kanji, Malayam, Deseret, Mongolian and IPA. Most of them were chosen because of simplicity.

All punctuation marks outside of the table are the same as in English.

• ◌̄ (Mere) either marks voicelessness or allows aspiration. For example, Ҁ:и𐓟 is ['jiːna], but Ҁ:и𐓟̄ is ['jiːnḁʰ]. It also sometimes changes the pronunciation: P is /r/, but P̅ is /ɹ/;
• ◌̱ (Dere) marks palatalisation. For example, T𐓟тı is /tatʲi/, but T𐓟тı is /tʲatʲi/.
• :◌ (P:ore) marks gemination: for example M𐓟иo is /manɔ/, but :M:𐓟иo is ['mːaːnɔ].
• ′◌ (Por'e) marks a (glottal) stop.
• ᑊ◌ (Por`je) reverses the sound. For example, Ҁ is /jɔ/, but ᑊҀ is /ɔj/. (Successor to Ь)
• ◌ㆍ (P^e) marks the end of the sentence.･
• ◌᠈ (formerly ◌,) (Pe) is the equivalent of a comma.
• ᒧ◌ (Re!) functions like ¡, but is always placed in the beginning of the sentence.
• ᒪ◌ (Re?) functions like ¿, but is always placed in the beginning of the sentence.
• ˥◌ (Re...) functions like …, but is always placed in the beginning of the sentence.
• ◌˧ (Kjelje) is the equivalent of a colon.
• ◌꜔ (Kjalje) is the equivalent of a semicolon or a slash.
• (◌) (Byres) Is used to mark arrays or lists. Sometimes also homogeneous clauses.
• 「◌」 (Nyres) function like regular brackets in English.
• 『◌』 (Myres) function like quotation marks in English.
• ◌̇ (Por"e) marks the stress of the word. It's rarely used in cases other than education.
• ⦇◌ (Re.) is placed in the beginning of the sentence to denote sarcasm / skepticism.
• ⦈◌ (Re..?) is placed in the beginning of the sentence to denote doubt.
• ◌̇ Is mostly used for loanwords or for learning. It denotes stress.

File:SA 9 alphabet.pngThe Shared Alliantic alphabet consists of three sections, arranged in a specific order for convenience.

Some glyphs have two possible pronunciations, which can be used interchangeably.

The only exception to this rule are the letters Jalar, Jolor, Julur, Jeler, and Jilir. If there is an apostrophe before these letters, they are pronounced the first way. Without an apostrophe, they are pronounced the second way, softening the preceding consonant.

Sometimes Ꞷ ꞷ is displayed incorrectly, Ꙍ ω can be used for reference. Both uppercase and lowercase Shash are supposed to look like lowercase greek omega.

The standarlised romanisation of the SA alphabet is shown in the table:

Shared Alliantic is an agglutinating, split-ergative language that uses the subject-verb-object word order with head-final phrases. It has declension, conjugation and modality, but no participles, supines or gerunds.

Modifiers can be placed before other modifiers to modify them. If the modifiers are all supposed to directly modify the noun/verb, they may be written in brackets.

All sentences in SA have the SVO word order, regardless of the sentence.

Shared Alliantic is an agglutinating, split-ergative language that follows a subject-verb-object (SVO) word order with head-final phrases. declension, conjugation and modality, but no participles, supines or gerunds.

Modifiers can be placed before other modifiers to alter their meaning. Multiple modifiers can be enclosed in brackets for easier reading.

The genders system of SA is similar to that of English, but is more strict.

In Shared Alliantic, male and female genders are applied to animate beings with a definitive gender. The neuter gender is used for inanimate objects or beings without a specified gender. The ambiguous gender is applied when the gender is unclear, either intentionally or otherwise.

Shared Alliantic has eight pronouns, including singular and plural formal forms. The formal pronouns can be used for any other persons. The pronoun system is similar to English, and all pronouns are always capitalized.

In all pronouns, the ი changes according to gender, except for all instances of ı.

There are multiple versions of the second person singular and formal singular pronouns:

• Pი is polite
• Dი is for acquaintances
• Tი is for friends
• Py is rude
• Ʋი is polite formal
• Vი is regular formal
• Pი is friendly formal

Both versions of the first person singular pronouns are interchangeable.

The subject pronoun can be conjugated with genitive and dative cases to form dependent possessive and reflexive forms.

Most nouns in Shared Alliantic have a suffix immediately following the word root that indicates gender: -ი, -o, -𐓟, or -e. All nouns in SA are capitalized, whether they are proper or common nouns. Plural forms of nouns always have a -c suffix after the gender suffix.

Proper nouns are transliterated into SA from their native language and are often marked with 『◌』. These transliterations then function as root words or whole nouns and can be conjugated within the 『◌』.

All common nouns have the -ი, -o, -𐓟, or -e suffixes, while proper nouns sometimes may not have a gender suffix.

Affixes in Shared Alliantic serve various purposes, including marking tense, person, part of speech, case, opinion, and more.

Affixes are formed by adding a letter from the first column to the beginning or end of the word root. To ease pronunciation, an additional ი, ı, q or 𐑨 may be inserted between the affix and the root. Dashes in the table indicate if the letter is a prefix or suffix; if there is no dash, it can be both.

There are currently 71 affixes, with more planned to be added. They can sometimes be used as standalone words, retaining their meaning.

98% complete

There is no strict order of affixes, so they can be repositioned to simplify pronunciation.

OUTDATED

Shared Alliantic has seven distinct cases, with genitive and possessive being practically interchangeable. There can be as many cases in a sentence as there are nouns. Cases can be applied to specific nouns to emphasize them, with the chosen case also highlighting particular ideas. Alternatively, they can be applied to verbs with a similar result.

There is no strict order for using cases, but the nominative case is used when no other case is applied. Case suffixes are typically derived from the last one or two letters of the corresponding question word, except for the nominative case, which has no suffix.

Case suffixes are added after all other suffixes.

Most verbs in SA have the იи affix adjasent the word root, which then conjugates according to person. The 𐑨 can be put before each conjugation, which is -იи in infinitive.

In all of them, the ი changes according to gender.

Formal persons can also have either a separate ending or the ending of one of the three persons, depending on the context. Its own conjugation is usually used when the pronoun is omitted, and it uses the other endings when the pronoun is kept, albeit it's not necessary.

Shared Alliantic has nine grammatical tenses. Tense affixes are always bedore the ⳡı prefix.

... stands for the verb. Ɣ (to be) in perfect tense stands for had and have.

Here are example sentences in different tenses using ucy or "I use":

OUTDATED

Shared Alliantic has 8 moods. The table below shows how they're formed.

... stands for the verb.

OUTDATED

Shared Alliantic has 3 voices: active, passive and middle voice.

These examples would also work without the cases demonstrated, but these cases help with demonstrating the voices and put the stress where needed. Word order in these voices, however, stays as shown because of the SVO sentence structure.

Adjectives are formed by adding the adjective suffix to the root. On the example of Ⳡρyтe (fruit) with the root ⳡρyт, the resulting adjective ⳡρyтı will then mean fruity or fruit-like. Comparative and superlative adjectives are constructed similarly. Prefixes иი- and мი- construct comparative and superlative of the adjective respectively.

Adverbs are formed in the same way as adjectives, therefore there is little to no difference between the two.

and are treated similarly. For example, М𐓟иo (man) with the root м𐓟и gives the adjective м𐓟иˡҁ which means man-like, as in like a man. Yet, м𐓟иˡҁ is also an adverb meaning manly. Adverb comparison works nearly identically to adjectives. For example, in М𐓟иი (person), the adverb м𐓟иı (humanely) would have the comparisons иıм𐓟иı and мıм𐓟иı, which stand for more humane(ly) and most humane(ly) respectively. Comparisons can also be used to represent the relation/opinion of the speaker to something.

• Parts of speech other than nouns are not capitalised unless they start the sentence.
• Nouns and verbs can be connected with other parts lf speech but never interjections or nouns with verbs.
• The subject pronoun may be omitted with the verb conjugated.
• Question mark, exclamation mark and ellipsis are only pronounced in the first word of the sentence.
• There are no strict stressing rules. However, if a syllable is has :, it is then stressed. Otherwise, word root will most likely be stressed.

Shared Alliantic has a numeral system different from Arabic or Roman. It is segmental, meaning the digits are connected together to represent bigger numbers. Each digit quad is written as a single numeral, separated with the мı- suffix at the beginning of the second digit quad onward, and – in-between two digit quads.

The line in the middle of all numbers acts as a base where the digits are attached to.

When digits are written at the bottom of the line, they are flipped, and the digits on the right side are mirrored.

Numbers can be treated as word roots. The -ı suffix shows and amount or an ordinal number. The -e suffix make a noun, as in The two / duo or A two.Fe

Numbers 1-9999 are formed similarly to the Cistercian numeral system, but are written and read left to right from smallest to biggest digit, similar to how dozens are pronounced in German.

The zero digit with its prefix may be ignored when writing or pronouncing. The | numeral is also sometimes used as an equivalent for 000 inside numerals, but it's always zero as a standalone number.

The table below shows some number examples.
