INFO
The Pelsaquin ([pʰɛɫsəkɪn]) language is a Ridinian language spoken in Bouncepot
Phonemes:
for a more in-depth analysis, see here
^0 retained in rural dialects, merged with [j], see Yeísmo in Pelsaquin
^1 realization of [v] in some southern dialects
^2 realizations of [v] [w] & [r] in the lower Garvizvill traditional dialect
^3 allophone of [q] before [i(ː)]
^8 actually a trilled [ʀ], analyzed as [ʁ] for the sake of convenience.
Gemination also occurs, [ɦ], [j], [ɥ], & the marginal at best [ʎ] are not affected though,
^1 paired up with monophthongs due to they're origin as [y] & [ɵ̞]
There's also vowel length, [ʊ] doesn't have length tho
Vowel stacking/consecutivism
Pelsaquin has very loose phonotactics, pretty much the only banned sequences are [bd] & [tp].
ORTHOGRAPHY
Pelsaquin orthography is pretty straightforward, 1 letter, 1 sound
Names (spelling and IPA)
The letters wje (v) eksi (x) & o kajtë (å) sometimes occur in loanwords and also are on keyboards for obvious reasons, they're also sometimes used in regional onomatopoeias, proper names, they also occur in proper names, names of villages, and also sometimes in names of broadcasting stations.
the diagraphs ts tš tz & tž are also used but for geminated affricates
The trigraph eäj represents of the sound [æːj] if it's written with a grave so, èäj its pronounced [e.æi̯].
the letters â, á, ê, î, ô, ő, û , ű, & ŷ are interesting, they exclusively mark stress if the stress is not in the first syllable, the acute indicates that for [æ], double acute for [eu̯] & [iu̯], since ë and ù never, ever get stressed, they dont get variants, for an example of these additional letters, the word sarrât ([sɐˈrat], carrot) vs sarrat ([ˈsarɐt], town/settlement), and sarâât ([sɐˈɾaːt], snow) vs saraat ([ˈsaɾɐːt], fresh), in Pelsaquin the diactrics are called sirkûmfleksë ([siɾˈkumfleksə]) and agjuu ([ˈagjuː])
Obsolete letters

Other scripts
Pelsaqui has used Cyrillic &
Arabic at certain points in history
Cyrillic
The Cyrillic alphabet is greatly influenced by stuff
Notice how the palatal vowels, ё, ю, & я aren't included in the alphabet, since there would be no use for them since those sequences can easily be represented by йо, йу, & йа, and also palatalization doesn't exist in Pelsaquin, but ё is used in the Siberian dialect (spoken in the Arctic Lands) to denote [ə]
[dʒ] used be denoted with che with descender, azeri dzhe/che with stroke, short che (ч̆), che with Retroflex hook (ч̢) , or even che with fishhook (ч̢̡), ч̡ was the most popular way to denote the sound however, it slowly became de facto, though it's mostly used handwriting, ӌ is much more common in typing due to the fact how it's easily typable,
â, á, ê, î, ô, û, ű, & ý become cyrillic а̑, ѣ̑/е̑, е̑/э̑, и̑, о̑, у̑, ӳ & ы̑.
Yañalif/Jaᶇalif (this technically falls under Latin)
Historically Yañalif (Called Jaŋalijf in Pelsaquin) was used to write Pelsaquin in Soviet regions bordering Bouncepot, unsurprisingly during latinization a yañalif script was proposed, and used for a few years.
Chart (modern Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic in parentheses)
Note, in South Bouncepot, there is a group of people called “The Yañalif Preservation Society” (Pelsaquin: Jaŋalijf Presëwatë Grùp. Pelsaquin (Yañalif): Jaᶇaʟijf Presęvaᴛę grųp), in they're words “Yañalif should we reinstated as the official script here because, we need to be more unique from the other nations in the region”, a statement to which the government has responded, “obviously bogus, why do we need to be unique?” as well as a follow-up “Why should we start using a script that's not been in use for over 90 years?” to which the Yañalif Preservation Society “Jaᶇalif is a beautiful orthographical system that should be resurrected” to which The linguistics academy of South Bouncepot responded to,
Response:
“Jaᶇalif, is inherently an archaicism, it should stay in the early 20th century, you can use it if you want to, but it shouldn't be made official because some people who romanticize the USSR want it to be”, To which the Yañalif Preservation Society responded “since when did we romanticize the USSR?, nowhere during the 30 years of this organizations existence did we ever romanticize it”
Grammar
Pelsaquin has pretty flexible word order, so most of the time it's either SVO or OSV.
It has no grammatical gender and is a pro drop language, it has 5 cases, dative, genitive, objective, nominative, & accusative, cases are marked by adding 1-4 letters with a different sequence
example:
It has 6 tenses, FarPast, Past, Current Tense (I think that's what it's called), Future, FarFuture, & a very odd "Years from now" tense.
When a word like say “irtaje” ([irtaje], watermelon) gets the plural suffix -ëi, it becomes irtajžëi ([irtai̯ʒəi̯], watermelons), e becomes ž, this is because [e] often softens to [ʒ] not just in Pelsaquin, an example is how Latin “ruebus” became French “rouge”.
To form a future tense you add and -âf and for past tense you add -ëz
Numbers
1-1000
Numerical Construction
Pelsaquin has a Thousands-Tens-Ones-Hundreds numerical system. So “7621” would be “Jätëħatanëtiħatëranojorùħëno” literally translating to “seven thousand twenty-one and six hundred”.
Cardinals
Forming Cardinals is simple, just add -ôŋ, -yŋ, or -oŋ.
