Ferritumulic, also known as Hiperborian, is a language of the Pisco-Imerchali family, derived from Latin, spoken in Vallis Draconum.

History

Ferritumulic somewhat resembles languages like Italian. However, owing to not being in Italy, but instead in a simulated world derived from, but meaningfully distinct from, it, Ferritumulic does have several unique changes. Geminated stops are banned, and have turned into affricates; geminated continuants are still allowed though.

It took heavy influence from the Programming-Katho-Atlantic language Amphorean.

  • Approximants are considered to be nonsyllabic vowels.

  • Medially, all affricates lose their stop component, but geminate.
  • /x/ exists solely as a loaned phoneme.

Orthography

Much like Regnate Latin, Ferritumulic still primarily writes using the Classical Latin script. However, it can be "modernized" fairly easily into the modern Latin script. There are some changes from Classical to Ferritumulic, mainly to accomodate phonological changes:

  • Since /ks/ merged with /ts/, /ts/ always is written with <x>, even when it comes from /tj tl/.
  • Latinate /h/ is only written when referring to something named back then, such as the placename Hyperborea (Ferritumulic writes this as ⟨Hʏᴘᴇʀʙᴏʀɪᴀ⟩).
  • Amphorean gamma, eta, and omega were loaned for /j w x/, partially since the last one is a loaned phoneme. These are modernized into lowercase, fully-Latin script as ⟨h w k⟩.

Vowels

When used as an approximant, /i u/ use the second item in their cells. Additionally, if the stressed vowel is not the antepenultimate vowel, it is given the grave accent mark.
