Possibly this will expand into the Aekean language family.

First point Both nouns and verbs are put into numerable obligatory categories,
I'm not so sure about the sound harmony / morphology except it will be pretty darn elaborate.

I'm going to reserve the next phew posts as follows
1. Consonant/Vowel Mutations
2. Prefix Tables
3. Secondary Prefix Tables
4. Suffix Tables

Consonant and Vowel mutations.
Siffice to say that they'll be different for nouns, verbs, adjectives, & adverbs, eek .

For nouns the following are all distinguished already by simultaneous consonant and vowel mutation,
—Case;
Eragative; Absolutive; Accusative; Dative; Instrumental; Ablative; Genetive; Locative; Ornative; Commitative;
––Number;
Singular; Dual; Plural;
—Animacy
Animate; Inanimate;
— Person
1st 2nd person/ any otherth person,

((The are 120 combinations burning_eyes I hope it's not to complicated))
Adjectives are the same except that the mutations are different.

Verbs are currently incomplete,
Verb
— Aspect
Imperfect; Perfect; Conitnuos; [there will be more]
— Transitivity
Transitive; Switchtrans[1]; Agent-passive;[2]
Object-passive[3] Untransitive[4]
— Animacy (depends on the Transitivty)

(1) Both transitive, and either Agent Passive, or Object Passive, in a different instance
(2) has an agent but no object,
(3) has an object
(4) has no Transitivity.

First irgular table, which will show the various obligatory prefixes
Of which ts language has a plentiful supply blaugh .
Of course the prefixes changes depending on weather or not the noun has uses an adjective.

In the third person proximal is distinguished from, distal, and generalization is distinguished from an all encompassing statement, the all encompassing one is donated universal to destingition it from
The first three lines stand for singular first person,
And then first person inclusive, and first person exclusive.
The last two, incidate the indefinite, and general form respectfully

(feel free to point out any errors in this thread)

Numbers well as you can guess numbers aren't delt with in any simpler manner, infact irritating base 30 number system,
Well third person distinguishing proximal and distal,
What kind of numbers are their? I mean in the sense of cardinal and ordinal firstly.

Aekean phonetics:
Well it will be mind boggling, yet again,

a syllable patern of any sort may only occur in one type of word,
That is either Adjective Noun Adverb or Verb, it can not occur in two categories.
To make matters a bit less simple Aekean phonology also have strict rules regarding the sequence of letters,
{C(C(C(.../)(J(J(J(...//)}V(V(V(.../)
Or
{C(C(C(.../)}V(V(V(.../){J(J(J(.../)}
I'm using { } same as ()
J which are semi vowels.
Consonants of the same type may not appear twice in the same syllable,
Nor may semivowels of the same type occur twice in the same syllable,
Each type of semivowel has a matching consonant type and vowel type, the type may not occur together with either of those in the same syllable.
Vowel of the same type may not appear twice in the same syllable.

What exactly am I reading?


Can you give us an example of an Aekean sentence? Lastly, is this some sort of college assignment applied to Gaia?

An early draft. I might use it in a sorry under a different name.

with some difficulty yes, once I get verbs covered which will be somewhat more complex.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Can you give us an example of an Aekean sentence?

I could try to make a sentence like
I live in Aekea with you,
I think the approximate structure would be something like the following; {written in a sort of pseudo code I made up on the spot}
Ve~_1IncERG< Aekea_1stIncSngLOC >~rb_1IncERG

There are going to be mores casses, but I'm kind of unsure which ones they will be, but their won't be more regular sound mutations, the remainer will either be somewhat irregular or only modify vowels/consonants,some will only modify every nth vowel. As for regular syntax,
The Animacy of a noun, as encoded on the verb is different to that of the noun,
Noun-category is marked separately by a suffix.

V( v(V(N N)v N)V N ) pretty much a lattice structure,
Except the verb actually sorounds the nouns, in a bizar split verb construct
One probably needs to think a bit before one is going to say something.
Incase your wondering the instrumentative is inserted into the noun, in a sort of split noun construct.
And this is meant to be simpler than the supposed languages of my fantasy world.
A verb can be made out of several other verbs or nouns

I'm not sure what the anyway the more "complex" ones if I'll construct them will require less memorization. I'm sure If I succeed I can do a dissertation on Aekean linguistics. I'm going to temporarily use google docs until tables become a viable option, on Gaia.
