			Ada is spoken by roughly a million people in the grasslands and plains of Ada. It is descended from Old Ada, which is attested 954 years ago. This was the first text written in the Old Adan syllabary, and it detailed a law on trade. In modern Ada, this sentence reads:

'''Ada''' (natively "''boku ki ada''," [[w:IPA|IPA]]: /ˈbokʉ ki ˈada/) is the name of a constructed language, spoken in the region known as the [[Great Plains of Ada]] in my conworld. The project is an attempt to create something that will be able to contrast with my main project, [[Proto Halisian]] and its daughter languages.

The language is constructed to be fairly analytical, with some degree of fusion. Its alignment will be ergative-absolutive, in contrast to Proto-Halian's nominative-accusative alignment. The phonology is fairly simple, consisting of a minimal consonant inventory and an average vowel inventory.

==Background==








==Phonology==
===Consonants===
Ada has an inventory of 13 consonants, displayed in the table below along with their romanization. Historically, /p/ became /f/ in all instances, leaving a voicing gap in the plosives.

#The nasal /n/ is realized as [ŋ] when preceding /k/ or /g/, and as [ɱ] when preceding /f/ or /ʋ/. Along with /r/, this sound is also devoiced when preceding a voiceless consonant, as in '''darti''' [ˈdar̥tɪ].
#The voiced plosives /b/, /d/ and /g/ lenite to [ʋ], [ð̞] and [ɰ] intervocalically.
#The sibilant fricative /s/ is realized as [ʃ] when preceding [i].
#The glottal fricative is usually dropped-word initially in the eastern dialects. When precedig /i/ it is realized as [ç].
#The sounds listed as /j/ and /ʋ/ often vary between being fricatives and approximants. Fricatives are generally more common in careful speech than relaxed, everyday conversation.

===Vowels===
The standard dialect distinguished between five vowels. All of them are reduced to [ɪ ʏ ɛ ɔ ə] in unstressed positions. In stressed positions, /o/ may be realized as [ʊ] rather than [o]. Along with the monophthongal phonemes, there are also four distinct diphthongs /ai/, /oi/, /ei/ and /ʉi/ (generally realized with the second segment reduced to [ɪ]. These diophthongs will be written using <ı> to distinguish them from instances of vowel hiatus.

|
|-
! style="" | Mid
| '''e''' /e/
|
| '''o''' /o/
|-
! style="" |Low
|
| '''a''' /a/
|
|}

==Stress==
Stress in Ada is highly regular, except in the case of lonewords. Normally stress falls on the penultimate syllable of a root, but when it comes to a loneword, the stress always falls on the same syllable as the source language. In this case, stress is marked using an acute accent.

===Phonotactics===


Ada has a very basic syllable structure, generally prefering syllables of the CV type. The maximum structure is CVR, where R stands for /n/ or /r/. Vowel hiatus is allowed in all instances, except for one diphthong following another, or two vowels being exactly the same.
