<div>'''Syltanennie''' /ɕʏlteːnɛɲə/ is one of the official languages of [[Ettêre Ðiffyt]], prior to the nation's renovation as [[Leporia]], it was an official language exclusive to the region of [[Sevanpiec]], which was called Svendie back then.<br />

<br />
The dentals are dental-apical.<br />
<br />
Although /ʁ/ is shown to be an approximate for phonological reasons, it is pronounced as a uvular fricative.<br />
<br />
/θ/ and /ç/ are often voiced when intervocalic and neither of the vowels are stressed. /ç/ may even merge with /j/ in such cases.<br />
<br />
/ð/ is very rare word-initially and it often exists just an allophonic voiced /θ/. However, loan words plus the prefixation and voicing of the definite article /ðɪ/ have introduced a few minimal pairs, making /ð/ a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
/j/ and /w/ are both realized as [ɥ] when they precede /uː/, /ʊ/ and /iː/, /ɪ/ respectively.<br />
<br />
=== Vowles ===<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|-<br />
| Mid-Low || ɛ ɛ̃ː || || ɔ ɔ̃ː<br />
|-<br />
| Low || || a || ɑ̃ː<br />
|}<br />
<br />
/ə/ only exists in word-final positions in polysyllabic words and is often extra-short [ə̆]. However, other vowels can also exist in the position so it is a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
When back vowels precede palatals, they tend to become fronted, as the following:<br />
* /ɯː/ to [ɨː]<br />
* /uː/ to [ʉː]<br />
* /ɯ̽/ to [ɘ̝]<br />
* /ʊ/ to [ɵ̝]<br />
* /oː/ to [ɵː~øː]<br />
* /ɔ/ to [ɞ~œ]<br />
* /ɔ̃ː/ to [œ̃ː]<br />
* /a/ to [æ]<br />
* /ɑ̃ː/ to [ʌ̃ː]<br />
<br />
=== Syllable Structure ===<br />
'''(C)(L)V''' *Generally<br />
<br />
* Any consonant can start a syllable.<br />
* V can be any vowel.<br />
* C + L can be any non-palatal obstruent (stops and fricatives) + liquid (laterals and approximates) respectively.<br />
* Word-internal clusters, i.e. there must be a vowel immediately preceding and proceeding the cluster (and the preceding vowel cannot be a nasal vowel), can be either:<br />
## (/ʁ/ or /l/) + any obstruent (stops and fricatives), or<br />
## Two fricatives that agree in voicing, the preceding fricative cannot be palatal, the proceeding fricative can be any fricative. Again, although /ʁ/ is phonetically a fricative it is phonologically an approximate, meaning it is not subject to the voicing agreement restrictions of double fricative clusters.<br />
* More complex syllables can come about through contracted words and constructions: most notably, /ʁ/ + (/j/ or /w/) only exists in contracted constructions and not in any root.<br />
<br />
=== Liaison & Elision ===<br />
<br />
Liaison is a phenomenon where word-final consonants that are unpronounced, reappear and get pronounced with proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate (/j/ and /w/). <br />
<br />
This also applies to nasal vowels, where a word ending in one will have an interjecting nasal consonant if the following word starts with a vowel or an approximate. Usually /m/ if the proceeding vowel a rounded vowel or /w/; /ɲ/ if it's /iː/, /ɪ/ or /j/; and /n/ otherwise.<br />
<br />
Word-final /l/ also works a little differently from other consonants, it only gets pronounced if the proceeding word starts with a vowel, and remains unpronounced if it is /j/ or /w/.<br />
<br />
Elision is a phenomenon where word-final vowels become unpronounced when proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate. Although this most widely happens with the schwa, almost any word-final vowel can undergo elision when coming in contact with a proceeding vowel, especially if the two vowels are of a similar quality, and especially in common grammatical words such as prepositions.<br />
<br />
=== Stress Pattern ===<br />
<br />
Syltanennie has mostly consistent stress patterns. A word always has its final syllable stressed, unless the vowel of said final syllable is the schwa, then the word has its penultimate syllable stressed.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, conjugation and affixations that introduce new syllable to a word do not affect the stress pattern of the root. Thus, Syltanennie can be said to have marginal phonemic stress.<br />
<br />
== Orthography ==<br />
Syltanennie uses the Latin Script. Originally adopted almost a millennia ago for the language, it has since undergone standardization under the rule of, around 2 centuries ago. <br />
<br />
=== Consonants ===<br />
Below is the table with the respective orthographical equivalents of the consonant phonemes.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

<br />
Word-final consonant letters are always unpronounced. Instead they are there to indicate instances of liaison, where they do get pronounced when preceding a word that starts with a vowel letter.<br />
<br />
<sup>[1]</sup>Palatal consonants are always represented with a 〈i〉 after 〈c〉, 〈g〉, 〈s〉, 〈z〉, 〈x〉, and 〈n〉. However, this 〈i〉 is removed if the proceeding vowel is 〈i〉 or 〈y〉 in which case the letters listed before are always pronounced as palatals.<br />
<br />
<sup>[2]</sup>Both dental fricatives are represented by 〈ð〉.<br />
<br />
<sup>[3]</sup>〈i〉 and 〈u〉 are only /j/ and /w/ respectively when preceding another vowel.<br />
<br />
=== Vowles ===<br />

|-<br />
| o || oː ɔ<br />
|-<br />
| a || eː a<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<sup>[4]</sup>The Schwa only appears at the ends of words, and 〈e〉 at the ends of words is always /ə/.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Each vowel letter represents a long and short vowel. Which vowel the letter is representing is determined by the Open Syllable Lengthening rule:<br />
*Open syllable vowels are long.<br />
*Closed syllable vowels are short.<br />
*A syllable is determined to be closed, and thus has a short vowel, if the vowel is proceeded by:<br />
##One consonant with no vowel after. <br />
##A double consonant. <br />
##Two different consonants. <br />
*Otherwise it is open, and thus has a long vowel. <br />
*One major exception is in conjugation and appending of suffixes, where the word-final vowels involved in these changes are always short.<br />
<br><br />
Furthermore each vowel letter have variants with each of three diacritics: <br />
*Acute (í, ú, é, ó, á, ý, ẃ): Used to indicate long vowels, usually when the OSL rule would otherwise indicate a short vowel.<br />
*Grave (ì, ù, è, ò, à, ỳ, ẁ): Used to indicate short vowels, usually when the OSL rule would otherwise indicate a long vowel.<br />
*Circumflex (î, û, ê, ô, â, ŷ, ŵ): Used to indicate a word-final long vowel.<br />

[[File:RailDiagram.png|thumb|alt=Railway Map of Nguhcraft, created by [[Annwan]]|The current extent of all Cenrail lines as of 2024-11-30 (credit: [[Annwan]]). A vector version is available here: [[Media:RailDiagram-vector.pdf|RailDiagram-vector.pdf]]. You can view the map created by [[sq]] [https://sq.is-a.dev/nguhcraft/cenrail.png here].]]<br />
'''Cenrail''', often stylized as ''Cenrail®'', despite not having any qualifications for a trademark, is a Kyawcenni railway company based in [[Yija]] which today operates the majority of railways in Nguhcraft, connecting locations in 35 different countries, as well as several international points of interest, such as [[Phoeŋix]] and the [[Slab Exchange]]. Founded in [[Parkow]] by [[Marcy I|Marcy Sheikah]] in December 2023, the company quickly grew from the realms around the Central Sea to cover the entire Great Sea seaboard in the span of only three months, absorbing several independent rail services as it grew outward. Today, Cenrail continues to expand, collaborating with national governments to build new lines to ever more distant locations. Cenrail has a subsidiary named [[Leshrail]] which operates in the nether.<br />
<br />
== List of stops ==<br />
The lines of the Cenrail network are listed in the order they were established; within each line the stops are listed in sequence, beginning with the northernmost and/or westernmost stop. Each stop is followed by its three-letter code and the date operation began, with the first two letters of the code indicating the country.<ref>Scarecrow Harbour is the only exception to this rule, as the station is situated under ŋational borders</ref> A code starting with X indicates the location is outside the jusrisdiction of any country, with [[Ŋibraltar|Ŋibraltar,]] the Slab Exchange, and the [[United_Ŋations#Building |Palace of Ŋations]] having their own unique codes. Stops in ''italics'' have been decommissioned.<br />

The Central Line (formerly the Northern line) began with a simple connection between Parkow (then known as Kyaw Cen) and Port Marcy. The Central line formerly contained the only single-tracked segment of rail in the entire network, running from Spawn to the Hole, but as of of 7 September 2024, the Central Line has no single-tracked segments anymore.<br />

The first rail line of the Transversal Line, the Parkow-Imerchal connection, was originally a part of the Central Line, and was reassigned as part of the Transversal Line with the re-organization of Parkow station to create a single throughline from Mitthumm to Kozdenen. On 4 June 2024, it was merged with the Phoeŋix Line, which comprised the northwestern portion of the line from Phoeŋix to [[Tantsang]]. It is currently the longest contiguous rail line in the world.<br />

The Southern Line, also called the '''Southern''' '''Loop''', began with a connection from Port Marcy to Þunan Ŋáce, then named Cenrail''®'' Subway™. Following this, part of the connection from Þunan Ŋáce to Nārospiňt was named ‘Scenic Lake Rail™’. On 9 April 2024, Saxland station was inserted between Þunan Ŋáce and Nārospiňt. On 22 August 2024, a decision was made to make the Southern Line loop on itself, and on 12 September 2024, the closing connection of the loop, AMA-XSH, was completed.<br />

=== Western Line ===<br />
[[File:1989 station floor 1.png|thumb|The Western Line terminal on the ground floor of 1989 Station, Port of Eras. The local rail terminal can be seen on the floor above.]]<br />
Originally connecting Miŋejácár to the rest of [[Þunan Qumreá]], the Western Line (formerly known as the Colony Line, then the Colonial Line (until September 2024)) extends westwards, being the second most westerly line (behind the Transversal) in the network. It was later extended to [[Anweigh]] and the [[Islands of Ʒimh Gwynh]] by [[Hilja]]. In August 2024, [[Fin]] extended the line to his own [[Port of Eras]]. The portion of rails between [[1989 Station]] and [[TTPD Station]] in the Port of Eras is the shortest segment of the network. An extension towards The Vazr is in the works.<br />

[[File:Suborshnava station.jpg|thumb|alt=a photo of the hub of V́aisi station|V́aisi Station]]<br />
The Transfortunate line, so named because it crosses the [[Sea of Fortune]], was initially constructed singlehandedly by Fil of [[Aistóv́y]]. Until the addition of Madness Junction, the connection from Khaath Tran to V́aisi was the longest uninterrupted stretch of rail in the world, totalling around 3,220 blocks in length.<br />

<div>'''Syltanennie''' /ɕʏlteːnɛɲə/ is one of the official languages of [[Ettêre Ðiffyt]], prior to the nation's renovation as [[Leporia]], it was an official language exclusive to the region of [[Sevanpiec]], which was called Svendie back then.<br />
<br />
== Phonology ==<br />
<br />
=== Consonants ===<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! !! Labial !! Labio-Dental !! Dental !! Palatal !! Velar !! Uvular<br />
|-<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The dentals are dental-apical.<br />
<br />
Although /ʁ/ is shown to be an approximate for phonological reasons, it is pronounced as a uvular fricative.<br />
<br />
/θ/ and /ç/ are often voiced when intervocalic and neither of the vowels are stressed. /ç/ may even merge with /j/ in such cases.<br />
<br />
/ð/ is very rare word-initially and it often exists just an allophonic voiced /θ/. However, loan words plus the prefixation and voicing of the definite article /ðɪ/ have introduced a few minimal pairs, making /ð/ a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
/j/ and /w/ are both realized as [ɥ] when they precede /uː/, /ʊ/ and /iː/, /ɪ/ respectively.<br />
<br />
=== Vowles ===<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! !! Front !! Central !! Back<br />
|-<br />
| High || iː yː || || ɯː uː<br />
|-<br />
| Near-High || ɪ ʏ || || ɯ̽ ʊ<br />
|-<br />
| Mid-High || eː || || oː<br />
|-<br />
| Middle || || ə ||<br />
|-<br />
| Mid-Low || ɛ ɛ̃ː || || ɔ ɔ̃ː<br />
|-<br />
| Low || || a || ɑ̃ː<br />
|}<br />
<br />
/ə/ only exists in word-final positions in polysyllabic words and is often extra-short [ə̆]. However, other vowels can also exist in the position so it is a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
When back vowels precede palatals, they tend to become fronted, as the following:<br />
* /ɯː/ to [ɨː]<br />
* /uː/ to [ʉː]<br />
* /ɯ̽/ to [ɘ̝]<br />
* /ʊ/ to [ɵ̝]<br />
* /oː/ to [ɵː~øː]<br />
* /ɔ/ to [ɞ~œ]<br />
* /ɔ̃ː/ to [œ̃ː]<br />
* /a/ to [æ]<br />
* /ɑ̃ː/ to [ʌ̃ː]<br />
<br />
=== Syllable Structure ===<br />
'''(C)(L)V''' *Generally<br />
<br />
* Any consonant can start a syllable.<br />
* V can be any vowel.<br />
* C + L can be any non-palatal obstruent (stops and fricatives) + liquid (laterals and approximates) respectively.<br />
* Word-internal clusters, i.e. there must be a vowel immediately preceding and proceeding the cluster (and the preceding vowel cannot be a nasal vowel), can be either:<br />
## (/ʁ/ or /l/) + any obstruent (stops and fricatives), or<br />
## Two fricatives that agree in voicing, the preceding fricative cannot be palatal, the proceeding fricative can be any fricative. Again, although /ʁ/ is phonetically a fricative it is phonologically an approximate, meaning it is not subject to the voicing agreement restrictions of double fricative clusters.<br />
* More complex syllables can come about through contracted words and constructions: most notably, /ʁ/ + (/j/ or /w/) only exists in contracted constructions and not in any root.<br />
<br />
=== Liaison & Elision ===<br />
<br />
Liaison is a phenomenon where word-final consonants that are unpronounced, reappear and get pronounced with proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate (/j/ and /w/). <br />
<br />
This also applies to nasal vowels, where a word ending in one will have an interjecting nasal consonant if the following word starts with a vowel or an approximate. Usually /m/ if the proceeding vowel a rounded vowel or /w/; /ɲ/ if it's /iː/, /ɪ/ or /j/; and /n/ otherwise.<br />
<br />
Word-final /l/ also works a little differently from other consonants, it only gets pronounced if the proceeding word starts with a vowel, and remains unpronounced if it is /j/ or /w/.<br />
<br />
Elision is a phenomenon where word-final vowels become unpronounced when proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate. Although this most widely happens with the schwa, almost any word-final vowel can undergo elision when coming in contact with a proceeding vowel, especially if the two vowels are of a similar quality, and especially in common grammatical words such as prepositions.<br />
<br />
=== Stress Pattern ===<br />
<br />
Syltanennie has mostly consistent stress patterns. A word always has its final syllable stressed, unless the vowel of said final syllable is the schwa, then the word has its penultimate syllable stressed.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, conjugation and affixations that introduce new syllable to a word do not affect the stress pattern of the root. Thus, Syltanennie can be said to have marginal phonemic stress.<br />
<br />
== Orthography ==<br />
Syltanennie uses the Latin Script. Originally adopted almost a millennia ago for the language, it has since undergone standardization under the rule of, around 2 centuries ago. <br />

Word-final consonant letters are always unpronounced. Instead they are there to indicate instances of liaison, where they do get pronounced when preceding a word that starts with a vowel letter.<br />
<br />

*Open syllable vowels are long.<br />
*Closed syllable vowels are short.<br />
*A syllable is determined to be closed, and thus has a short vowel, if the vowel is proceeded by:<br />
##One consonant with no vowel after. <br />
##A double consonant. <br />
##Two different consonants. <br />

The dentals are dental-apical.<br />
<br />
Although /ʁ/ is shown to be an approximate for phonological reasons, it is pronounced as a uvular fricative.<br />
<br />
/θ/ and /ç/ are often voiced when intervocalic and neither of the vowels are stressed. /ç/ may even merge with /j/ in such cases.<br />
<br />
/ð/ is very rare word-initially and is often exists just an allophonic voiced /θ/. However, loan words plus the prefixation and voicing of the definite article /ðɪ/ have introduced a few minimal pairs, making /ð/ a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
/j/ and /w/ are both realized as [ɥ] when they precede /uː ʊ/ and /iː ɪ/ respectively.<br />

/ə/ only exists in word-final positions in polysyllabic words and is often extra-short [ə̆]. However, other vowels can also exist in the position so it is a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
When back vowels precede palatals, they tend to become fronted, as the following:<br />
* /ɯː/ to [ɨː]<br />
* /uː/ to [ʉː]<br />
* /ɯ̽/ to [ɘ̝]<br />

=== Syllable Structure ===<br />
'''(C)(L)V''' *Generally<br />
<br />
* Any consonant can start a syllable.<br />
* V can be any vowel.<br />
* C + L can be any non-palatal obstruent (stops and fricatives) + liquid (laterals and approximates) respectively.<br />
* Word-internal clusters, i.e. there must be a vowel immediately preceding and proceeding the cluster (and the preceding vowel cannot be a nasal vowel), can be either:<br />
## (/ʁ/ or /l/) + any obstruent (stops and fricatives), or<br />
## Two fricatives that agree in voicing, the preceding fricative cannot be palatal, the proceeding fricative can be any fricative. Again, although /ʁ/ is phonetically a fricative it is phonologically an approximate, meaning it is not subject to the voicing agreement restrictions of double fricative clusters.<br />
* More complex syllables can come about through contracted words and constructions: most notably, /ʁ/ + (/j/ or /w/) only exists in contracted constructions and not in any root.<br />

=== Syllable Structure ===<br />
'''(C)(L)V''' *Generally<br />
<br />
* Any consonant can start a syllable.<br />
* V can be any vowel.<br />
* C + L can be any non-palatal obstruent (stops and fricatives) + liquid (laterals and approximates) respectively.<br />
* Word-internal clusters, i.e. there must be a vowel immediately preceding and proceeding the cluster (and the preceding vowel cannot be a nasal vowel), can be either:<br />
## (/ʁ/ or /l/) + any obstruent (stops and fricatives), or<br />
## Two fricatives that agree in voicing, the preceding fricative cannot be palatal, the proceeding fricative can be any fricative. Again, although /ʁ/ is phonetically a fricative it is phonologically an approximate, meaning it is not subject to the voicing agreement restrictions of double fricative clusters.<br />
* More complex syllables can come about through contracted words and constructions: most notably, /ʁ/ + (/j/ or /w/) only exists in contracted constructions and not in any root.<br />
<br />
=== Liaison & Elision ===<br />
<br />
Liaison is a phenomenon where word-final consonants that are unpronounced, reappear and get pronounced with proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate (/j/ and /w/). <br />
<br />
This also applies to nasal vowels, where a word ending in one will have an interjecting nasal consonant if the following word starts with a vowel or an approximate. Usually /m/ if the proceeding vowel a rounded vowel or /w/, /ɲ/ if it's /i/ or /j/, and /n/ otherwise.<br />
<br />
Word-final /l/ also works a little differently from other consonants, it only gets pronounced if the proceeding word starts with a vowel, and remains unpronounced if it is /j/ or /w/.<br />
<br />
Elision is a phenomenon where word-final vowels become unpronounced when proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate. Although this most widely happens with the schwa, almost any word-final vowel can undergo elision when coming in contact with a proceeding vowel, especially if the two vowels are of a similar quality, and especially in common grammatical words such as prepositions.<br />

Word-final consonant letters are always unpronounced. Instead they are there to indicate instances of liaison, where they do get pronounced when preceding a word that starts with a vowel letter.<br />
<br />
<sup>[1]</sup>Palatal consonants are always represented with a 〈i〉 after 〈c〉, 〈g〉, 〈s〉, 〈z〉, 〈x〉, and 〈n〉. However, this 〈i〉 is removed if the proceeding vowel is 〈i〉 or 〈y〉 in which case the letters listed before are always pronounced as palatals.<br />

Each vowel letter represents a long and short vowel. Which vowel the letter is representing is determined by the Open Syllable Lengthening rule:<br />
*Open syllable vowels are long.<br />
*Closed syllable vowels are short.<br />
*A syllable is determined to be closed, and thus has a short vowel, if the vowel is proceeded by:<br />
##One consonant with no vowel after. <br />
##A double consonant. <br />
##Two different consonants. <br />
*Otherwise it is open, and thus has a long vowel. <br />
*One major exception is in conjugation and appending of suffixes, where the word-final vowels involved in these changes are always short.<br />
<br><br />
Furthermore each vowel letter have variants with each of three diacritics: <br />

Although /ʁ/ is shown to be an approximate for phonological reasons, it is pronounced as a uvular fricative.<br />

/θ/ and /ç/ are often voiced when intervocalic and neither of the vowels are stressed. /ç/ may even merge with /j/ in such cases.<br />
<br />
/ð/ is very rare word-initially and is often exists just an allophonic voiced /θ/. However, loan words plus the prefixation and voicing of the definite article /ðɪ/ have introduced a few minimal pairs, making /ð/ a marginal phoneme.<br />

## (/ʁ/ or /l/) + any obstruent (stops and fricatives), or<br />
## Two fricatives that agree in voicing, the preceding fricative cannot be palatal, the proceeding fricative can be any fricative. Again, although /ʁ/ is phonetically a fricative it is phonologically an approximate, meaning it is not subject to the voicing agreement restrictions of double fricative clusters.<br />

=== Liaison & Elision ===<br />
<br />
Liaison is a phenomenon where word-final consonants that are unpronounced, reappear and get pronounced with proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate. <br />
<br />
Elision is a phenomenon where word-final vowels become unpronounced when proceeded by a word that starts with a vowel or an approximate.<br />

Word-final consonant letters are always unpronounced. Instead they are there to indicate instances of liaison.<br />
<br />
<sup>[1]</sup>Palatal consonants are always represented with a 〈i〉 after 〈c〉, 〈g〉, 〈s〉, 〈z〉, 〈x〉, and 〈n〉. However, this 〈i〉 is removed if the proceeding vowel is 〈i〉 or 〈y〉 in which case the letters listed before are always pronounced as palatals.<br />

Each vowel letter represents a long and short vowel. Which vowel the letter is representing is determined by the Open Syllable Lengthening rule:<br />
*Open syllable vowels are long.<br />
*Closed syllable vowels are short.<br />
*A syllable is determined to be closed, and thus has a short vowel, if the vowel is proceeded by:<br />
##One consonant with no vowel after. <br />
##A double consonant. <br />
##Two different consonants. <br />

Furthermore each vowel letter have variants with each of three diacritics: <br />

The dentals are dental-apical.<br />

Although /ʁ/ is shown to be an approximate for phonological reasons, it is pronounced as a uvular fricative.<br />

/θ/ and /ç/ are often voiced when intervocalic and neither of the vowels are stressed. /ç/ may even merge with /j/ in such cases.<br />
<br />
/ð/ is very rare word-initially and is often exists just an allophonic voiced /θ/. However, loan words plus the prefixation and voicing of the definite article /ðɪ/ have introduced a few minimal pairs, making /ð/ a marginal phoneme.<br />

In Syltannie, a syllable is determined to be closed (and thus has a short vowel) if the vowel is proceeded by one consonant with no vowel after, a double consonant, or two different consonants. Otherwise it is open (and thus has a long vowel). However one major exception is in conjugation and appending of suffixes, where such vowels involved in these changes are always short.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Furthermore each vowel letter have variants with each of three diacritics: <br />
*Acute: Used to indicate long vowels, usually when the OSL rule would otherwise indicate a short vowel.<br />
*Grave: Used to indicate short vowels, usually when the OSL rule would otherwise indicate a long vowel.<br />
*Circumflex: Used to indicate a word-final long vowel.<br />

<div>'''Syltanennie''' /ɕʏlteːnɛɲə/ is one of the official languages of [[Ettêre Ðiffyt]], prior to the nation's renovation as [[Leporia]], it was an official language exclusive to the region of [[Sevanpiec]], which was called Svendie back then.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The dentals are dental-apical.<br />
<br />
Although /ʁ/ is shown to be an approximate for phonological reasons, it is pronounced as a uvular fricative.<br />
<br />
/θ/ and /ç/ are often voiced when intervocalic and neither of the vowels are stressed. /ç/ may even merge with /j/ in such cases.<br />
<br />
/ð/ is very rare word-initially and is often exists just an allophonic voiced /θ/. However, loan words plus the prefixation and voicing of the definite article /ðɪ/ have introduced a few minimal pairs, making /ð/ a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
/j/ and /w/ are both realized as [ɥ] when they precede /uː ʊ/ and /iː ɪ/ respectively.<br />
<br />
=== Vowles ===<br />

|-<br />
| Mid-Low || ɛ ɛ̃ː || || ɔ ɔ̃ː<br />
|-<br />
| Low || || a || ɑ̃ː<br />
|}<br />
<br />
/ə/ only exists in word-final positions in polysyllabic words and is often extra-short [ə̆]. However, other vowels can also exist in the position so it is a marginal phoneme.<br />
<br />
When back vowels precede palatals, they tend to become fronted, as the following:<br />
* /ɯː/ to [ɨː]<br />
* /uː/ to [ʉː]<br />
* /ɯ̽/ to [ɘ̝]<br />
* /ʊ/ to [ɵ̝]<br />
* /oː/ to [ɵː~øː]<br />
* /ɔ/ to [ɞ~œ]<br />
* /ɔ̃ː/ to [œ̃ː]<br />
* /a/ to [æ]<br />
* /ɑ̃ː/ to [ʌ̃ː]<br />
<br />
=== Syllable Structure ===<br />
'''(C)(L)V''' *Generally<br />
<br />
* Any consonant can start a syllable.<br />
* V can be any vowel.<br />
* C + L can be any non-palatal obstruent (stops and fricatives) + liquid (laterals and approximates) respectively.<br />
* More complex syllables can come about through contracted words and constructions: most notably, /ʁ/ + (/j/ or /w/) only exists in contracted constructions and not in any root.<br />
* Word-internal clusters, i.e. there must be a vowel immediately preceding and proceeding the cluster (and the preceding vowel cannot be a nasal vowel), can be either:<br />
## (/ʁ/ or /l/) + any obstruent (stops and fricatives), or<br />
## Two fricatives that agree in voicing, the preceding fricative cannot be palatal, the proceeding fricative can be any fricative. Again, although /ʁ/ is phonetically a fricative it is phonologically an approximate, meaning it is not subject to the voicing agreement restrictions of double fricative clusters.<br />
<br />
==Orthography==<br />
Syltanennie uses the Latin Script. Originally adopted almost a millennia ago for the language, it has since undergone standardization under the rule of. <br />
<br />
Below is the table with the respective orthographical equivalents of the consonant phonemes.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
<sup>[1]</sup>Palatal consonants are always represented with a 〈i〉 after 〈c〉, 〈g〉, 〈s〉, 〈z〉, 〈x〉, and 〈n〉. However, this 〈i〉 is removed if the proceeding vowel is 〈i〉 or 〈y〉 in which case the letters listed before are always pronounced as palatals.<br />
<br />
<sup>[2]</sup>Both dental fricatives are represented by 〈ð〉.<br />
<br />
<sup>[3]</sup>〈i〉 and 〈u〉 are only /j/ and /w/ respectively when preceding another vowel.<br />

<br />
<sup>[4]</sup>Each vowel letter represents a long and short vowel. Which vowel the letter is representing is determined by Open Syllable Lengthening rule:<br />
*Open syllable vowels are long.<br />
*Closed syllable vowels are short.<br />
In Syltannie, a syllable is determined to be closed (and thus has a short vowel) if the vowel is proceeded by one consonant with no vowel after, a double consonant, or two different consonants. Otherwise it is open (and thus has a long vowel). However one major exception is in conjugation and appending of suffixes, where such vowels involved in these changes are always short.<br />
<br />
<sup>[5]</sup>The Schwa only appears at the ends of words, and 〈e〉 at the ends of words is always /ə/<br />
