Calutan: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:04, 16 September 2026

Calutan^[1] is a co-official language of Caluta.

Notice:

This section is a work in progress. Go bother Yusur about it.

Calutan's script is Copaþ, an abugida written right-to-left.

The letters 󲂠 (b), 󲁘 (ŋ) and 󲂨 (g) are used only in loanwords.

(C)V(C)(C)

Words cannot end with more than one consonants
Most syllabes are CV but sometimes consonant clusters form at the end of syllabes
No words end with <s>: e.g. "Pāgus Septimus" is loaned as "Pagsu Septimu"
In loanwords, illegal end clusters are pushed back to form a cluster with the previous consonant if there is a vowel in between; otherwise, <u> is added at the end

Nouns have declension on case. There is no declension on gender or number; the partitive case is a sort of indefinite plural.

The cases are 4: nominative, genitive, partitive, and instrumental.

A noun can take an indefinite singular (u 󲂕) or definite plural (utu 󲂍󲂕) article.

Prepositions (remind me to add later)

↑ Yusur does not like this name for the language. She wants to change it once she has a better name
