'''Adamic''' (אדמס קעל, ''ādamja qafl'', [[w:Help:IPA|[àːˈdämi̯a ˈɦäfl]]]) is a [[Philosophical language|philosophical]] [[ab interiori language]] of the [[w:mesolithic|Mesolithic]] that consists on naming roots and applying grammatical patterns through [[w:Nonconcatenative morphology|introflection]].
 
It's cultivated form is known as [[Canonic Code|Canonic Code]], where the transitional tables take hold over grammatical features.

====Notes====
* The WALS metrics consider solely ejective, implosive, and glottalized sonorants as "glottalized consonants"; agreement to include number and person, and tense/aspect/mood (TAM) to be one category within a "category-per-word value" [...]
==Phonology==
Adamic can have as many as 24 [[w:Consonant|consonants]] and 12 [[w:Vowel|vowels]], with [[w:Allophone|allophonic]] [[w:Tone (linguistics)|tones]] liable to manifestate depending on the position of the [[w:Stress(linguistics)|stress]]. Its syllable structure of ''C<sup>2</sup>V<sup>2</sup>C<sup>2</sup>/C<sup>3</sup>(V)'' supports up to 3 sounds in a [[w:Consonant cluster|consonant cluster]] intervocalically and 2 elsewhere as [[w:Syllable#Onset|onset]] or [[w:Syllable#Coda|coda]] (e.g. ''qfál'' "saying", ''aktvú'' "I cut", and ''ka’n'' "year"); also, it does not accept [[w:Triphthong|triphthongs]]. The most remarkable phonetic and phonological features include the presence of:
* [[w:Emphatic consonant|emphatic consonants]].
* a simple vowel system composed of ''i'', ''u'', and ''a'', with [[w:Vowel length|phonemic length]].
* predetermined set of vowels available depending on the speaker's gender.
* systematic sound transitions dictated by a [[Adamic Code#Coloration Table|coloration table]].
===Consonants===
Adamic has 24 or 18 phonemic consonants, depending on whether emphatics are disregarded. The special status of the glottalized series is due their phonological equivalence with the plain stops (k, g, p, b, t, d) within the language, despite being genuine inheritances from the ejective/implosive sounds of the [[Diluvian Code|Diluvian]] and [[Pangaean Code|Pangaean]] Codes. Anyhow, even if optionally excluded, they may still appear as allophones of their counterparts, specially next to /ʔ/.

====Notes====
|-
* Adamic identifies "phonological coordinates" within its consonantal inventory, classifying terms into relevant categories of <small>VOICE</small>, <small>MANNER</small>, and <small>ARTICULATION</small>. Even sequences among its subdivisions follow a predetermined order, being ''voiceless>voiced'' in <small>VOICE</small>, ''occlusive>sonorant>turbulent'' in <small>MANNER</small>, and ''guttural>labial>dental'' in <small>ARTICULATION</small>. As not all members of those sets correspond to the phonetic qualities attributed to them (with the exception of <small>VOICE</small>'s members), the last two sequences are respectively referred to as the ''KHS-type'' and the ''IUA-type'', with their proper compositions being named as expected: ''K-type'', ''H-type'', ''S-type'', ''I-type'', ''U-type'', and ''A-type'' in order.

====Notes====
 
* The WALS metrics<ref name="WALS">https://wals.info/feature</ref> hold particular definitions in each category of their own, considering for example solely ejective, implosive, and glottalized sonorants as "glottalized consonants"; agreement to include number and person; and tense/aspect/mood (TAM) to be one category within a "category-per-word value".

==Phonology==
Adamic can have as many as 24 [[w:Consonant|consonants]] and 12 [[w:Vowel|vowels]], with [[w:Allophone|allophonic]] [[w:Tone (linguistics)|tones]] liable to manifestate depending on the position of the [[w:Stress(linguistics)|stress]]. Its syllable structure of ''C<sup>2</sup>V<sup>2</sup>C<sup>2</sup>/C<sup>3</sup>(V)'' supports up to 3 sounds in a [[w:Consonant cluster|consonant cluster]] intervocalically and 2 elsewhere as [[w:Syllable#Onset|onset]] or [[w:Syllable#Coda|coda]] (e.g. ''qfál'' "saying", ''aktvú'' "I cut", and ''ka’n'' "year"); also, it does not accept [[w:Triphthong|triphthongs]]. The most remarkable phonetic and phonological features include the presence of:


Adamic has a basic 3 vowel system with length distinction yielding 18 units of monophthongs, diphthongs, and long dipthongs. Alternatively, in the poetic register, diphthongs may become monophthongs by introducing the new qualities of /e/, /o/, and /ɨ/~/ʉ/, thus resulting in 6 qualities and 36 vocalic units as a whole. In sequence, the masculine register of Adamic is here treated as possessing the following monophthongs:
* [[w:Emphatic consonant|emphatic consonants]].

Adamic has 24 or 18 phonemic consonants, depending on whether emphatics are disregarded. The special status of the glottalized series is due their phonological equivalence with the plain stops (k, g, p, b, t, d) within the language, despite being genuine inheritances from the ejective/implosive sounds of the [[Diluvian Code|Diluvian]] and [[Pangaean Code|Pangaean]] Codes. Anyhow, even if optionally excluded, they may still appear as allophones of their counterparts, specially next to /ʔ/.

* Adamic identifies "phonological coordinates" within its consonantal inventory, classifying terms into relevant categories of <small>VOICE</small>, <small>MANNER</small>, and <small>ARTICULATION</small>. Even sequences among its subdivisions follow a predetermined order, being ''voiceless>voiced'' in <small>VOICE</small>, ''occlusive>sonorant>turbulent'' in <small>MANNER</small>, and ''guttural>labial>dental'' in <small>ARTICULATION</small>. As not all members of those sets correspond to the phonetic qualities attributed to them (with the exception of <small>VOICE</small>'s members), the last two sequences are respectively referred to as the ''KHS-type'' and the ''IUA-type'', with their proper compositions being named as expected: ''K-type'', ''H-type'', ''S-type'', ''I-type'', ''U-type'', and ''A-type'' in order.

====Notes====
{|
* Much like consonants, vowels in Adamic are positioned in the currents ''front>back>central'' (<small>POSITION</small>) and ''short>long'' (<small>LENGTH</small>); with the process exceptionally being known by the trigrammaton ''IAU'' or even the pentagrammaton ''IEAOU'', which may serve as alphabetic recitations when not symbols of cosmic order. Contrary to the consonantal series, though, long vowels tend to carry a non-phonemic rising pitch when stressed, and a falling pitch when unstressed, in order to further distinguish them from plain vowels; they also may generate new articulations of themselves depending on their arrangement and whether one's particular form of the Adamic Code puts prominence on the /i/ (feminine) or the /u/ (masculine) vowels, determined by sex/gender:
|- style="vertical-align: top;"
** /i, iː/ are the close front unrounded [i, iː].

*** /e, eː/ are the close-mid front unrounded [e, eː]. They are the respective products of the monophthongization of /i̯a/ and /ai̯/.
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
** /u, uː/ are the close back rounded [u, uː]
|+Common<br />Monophthongs

====Notes====
 
* Much like consonants, vowels in Adamic are positioned in the currents ''front>back>central'' (<small>POSITION</small>) and ''short>long'' (<small>LENGTH</small>); with the process exceptionally being known by the trigrammaton ''IAU'' or even the pentagrammaton ''IEAOU'', which may serve as alphabetic recitations when not symbols of cosmic order. Contrary to the consonantal series, though, long vowels tend to carry a non-phonemic rising pitch when stressed, and a falling pitch when unstressed, in order to further distinguish them from plain vowels; they also may generate new articulations of themselves depending on their arrangement and whether one's particular form of the Adamic Code puts prominence on the /i/ (feminine) or the /u/ (masculine) vowels, determined by sex/gender:
* The letter <’>, representing the glottal stop (ʔ), may be left out, as it often disappears in the spoken language. Alternatively, it could be expressed by the letter <Xx> when alone as onset/coda.
** /i, iː/ are the close front unrounded [i, iː].
** e.g. ''drā'' /draː/ "six".
*** /e, eː/ are the close-mid front unrounded [e, eː]. They are the respective products of the monophthongization of /i̯a/ and /ai̯/.
*** c.e.g. ''drā’'' or ''drāx'' /draːʔ/ "six".
** /u, uː/ are the close back rounded [u, uː]
 
*** /o, oː/ are the close-mid back rounded [o, oː]. They are the respective products of the monophthongization of /u̯a/ and /au̯/.
* Emphatic consonants use the apostrophe <’>, as <K’k’>, <G’g’>, <P’p’>, <B’b’>, <T’t’>, and <D’d’>.
** /a, aː/ are the open central unrounded [ä, äː], but may be pronounced as the open front unrounded [a, aː] or the open back rounded [ɒ, ɒː] if next to front and back vowels respectively.
** e.g. ''-k’-r-p-'' "destruction".
*** /ɨ, ɨː/~/ʉ, ʉː/ are the close central unrounded~rounded [ɨ, ɨː]~[ʉ, ʉː], but may be pronounced as [y, yː]~[ɯ, ɯː]. They are the respective products of the monophthongization of /i̯u/ and /ui̯/ in the masculine U-register and /u̯i/ and /iu̯/ in the feminine I-register.
*** c.e.g. ''-k-r-p-'' "detachment".
 
* The letter <Qq> is assimilated to <Hh> after a voiced stop.
** e.g. ''ghīz'' /gɦiːz/ "four".
*** c.e.g. ''*gqīz'' /gɦiːz/ "four".


* The letters <Jj> and <Ww> are exclusively used in derivation particles.
===Coloration Table===
** e.g. ''-ja'' /i̯a/ "belonging to".
*** c.e.g. ''*-ia'' /i̯a/ "belonging to".


* Short and long vowels, if relevantly stressed, gain an accute (<>) and circumflex accent (<>) respectively.
In Adamic, sounds possess the property to transition between consonants and vowels. This process is known as "coloration", consisting on the equivalence of consonantal <small>VOICE</small>, <small>MANNER</small>, and <small>ARTICULATION</small> with vocalic <small>LENGTH</small> and <small>POSITION</small>.
** e.g. ''-k-f-n-'' ⇒ ''/u//'' ⇒ ''kúfn'' /ˈkufn/ or ''kûn'' /ˈkuːn/ "dog".
*** c.e.g. ''-k-f-n-'' ⇒ ''/-/'' ⇒ ''kun'' /kun/ "canine".


*If relevantly  unstressed, long vowels are marked by macrons (<V̄>).

One of the most remarkable features of Adamic is its naming prowess by ackowledging a concept into triliteral form (e.g. the root ''-d-v-n-'' denoting "biology/evolution" via the similarity with [[w:Charles Darwin|''Darwin'']]). This is due the [[w:Triconsonantal root|Triconsonantal Root]], whose use may be summarized by including complex ideas within a sequence of consonants. In complement, the [[w:Semitic root|Patterns]] are responsible for specifying a subject within such broader meanings (e.g. the pattern ''(i)/aí/a/'' yielding ''daívan'' "biologist").
==Grammar==


The process of triliteration can be easily demonstrated by the names of famous figures (fictional or not), due their association of feats. The transfiguration may be boundless and informal, or follow a select list of rules for further organization:

The affix '''-(C)V(C)-''' marks the measurements of stems by extending the nearest consonantal onset/coda, with the vocalic unit between the root-pattern and the reduplicated consonant (or the sound ''-c-'' in case a vowel should be reduplicated) being variable. This type of reduplication is often used in comparisons (e.g. ''gugīgánu-ta'' "I am bigger than you") and evaluations (e.g. ''gīgūg kûnaru'' "a giant dog").

The sentence structure of Adamic is highly strict and diffusive. The position of nouns is primarily determined by the configuration promoted by the triptote formula and the use of the [[w:Construct state|construct state]]; verbs conform to the latter by not interrupting the chain of Subject-Object (except when regarding pronouns); whereas some adjuncts must precede their arguments (e.g. adjectives as in ''mur liviatan iru'' "the dead whale"), and others follow them (e.g. adverbs as in ''āgūlá ūfā'' "he ate deadly"). Overall, the first half of a sentence is the [[w:Topic and comment|topic]], and the second, the [[w:Focus (linguistics)|focus]].

The so called construct state plays an important role in adamic syntax, being responsible for distinguishing compositions among themselves in order to make sense of a select class of grammatical cases in the articles (wherein the construct can always be identified as the [[w:Subject (grammar)|subject]]). For example, the nominative, oblique, accusative, ergative, dative, and genitive, for once, are known to trigger it when two inflections of the triptote formula conflate, as in:

compare the use of the possessive pronoun in ''mûm suruci'' "his mother" with ''mûm sumiru ’ûl āmfár'' "the man whose mother died"
=====Nouns=====


syntactic implications of pronouns: ''mûm suma ’ûliru āmfár'', ''mûm sumiru ’ûl āmfár'' , and ''mûmim muru ’ûl āmfár'' are all equivalent to "the man's mother died". ...not in construct state because of the possessive pronoun
The position of nouns is more often than not determined by the position of their articles. When the latter form a syntactical relationship with the sentence (i.e. a construction), there will be certain spots where the noun can be located in order to accomplish grammatical sense.


=====Verbs=====


''ata áqila-k siktí'' "the philosopher can see you"
The position of verbs is less strict than nouns. They are preferably right-bound, and often appear at the end of a sentence, except when participles, wherein they tend to be left-bound and close to the noun they modify (e.g. ''kûnira ka’áp'' "the dog is taken" (non-participle) and  ''ká’ap kûniru'' "the taken dog" (participle)). However, the syntax of verbs still possesses a great effect upon nouns, pronouns, and pseudo-nouns. Excluding the extensive and often specific circumstances of objects (e.g. the difference between accusative ''asak āqfúlun'' "I spoke with him" and nominative ''asuk āqfúlun'' "I spoke next to him"), when subjects are treated, there is a limited array of responses on how the relationship among case and verbal inflection behave. The medio-passive voice for instance triggers the subject as nominative; the experimental, as oblique; the active, as ergative; the passive, as accusative; the causative, as dative (causer) and caseless (causee); and the obligative, as genitive (causee) and caseless (causer).


''ata áqila-kan'' "I can see you"
: ''asu gaflá'' "he eats" [medio-passive]


OVS
: ''sua aguál'' "he finds himself eating" [experimental]


''ísit iru ’ûl'' is an alternative form to ''ísitu ’ûvil''  
: ''sā agulá'' "he eats it" [active]


: ''asa gafál'' "he is eaten" [passive]


''úgūla-t siktí'' "the philosopher wants to eat"
: ''asi gualá-su'' "he makes him eat it" [causative]


''úgūla-tan'' "I want to eat"
: ''sia agáfl-us'' "he is made by him to eat it" [obligative]


====Modifier Order====


neither *saíkat ira úbūl nor *úbūl ira siktí, but úbūla-k siktí "the philosopher can read"
Modifers may be left out, but otherwise they are strategically positioned to align with their morphological function. Incorporated adjuncts for instance are well defined by Adamic morphology, either modifying the noun/verb or the nominal/verbal phrase; it is rather the insurgence of segmental modifiers (i.e. segments as much as non-obligatory) that involve a more complex structure, when segmental adjuncts substitute the arguments they modify, forcing the latter into the construct state, as the second example (1) below shows.


====Adjuncts[...]====
=====Incorporated Adjuncts=====


=====Complex Samples [...]=====
As adjuncts incorporated into the constituent aligment, those that modify the noun/verb are left-bound, and those that modify the nominal/verbal phrase are right-bound:

It is important to notice the difference between ''bîbli datasiú irat siktí abūlá''
{{interlinear|lang=fi|number=(1)
and ''datasiú irut bîblira siktí abūlá'', which although both signify "the philosopher reads the book in the library", only the former implies the action of reading occurs there, whereas the latter implies the book was in the library aforementioned.

Contrary to adjuncts per se, segments that function as adjuncts (i.e. disposable) may be located either left or right in relation to the arguments they modify, but their function differs in each case. For example, it is important to notice the difference between the next two samples, which although both can be translated as "the philosopher reads the book in the library", only (1) implies the action of reading occurs there, whereas (2) implies the book was in the library aforementioned:
''saíkat su mur iru'' "the philosopher, who is dead"

''sa abbál'' "he reads"
===Subordinate Clauses===
''saíkat sa abbál''


''murásu, askút'' "I think he is dead"
In Adamic, [[w:Subordination (linguistics)|subordination]] is mostly marked by postpositions, clitic pronouns, or even the bare triptote formula. Also characteristic of this morphosyntactic level is the [[w:Ellipsis (linguistics)|elliptical]] construct, which manifests when a noun, pronoun, or pseudo-noun functions as subject/object more than once in the sentence; be it optimal for reflexion, anaphora, or against ambiguity:


''tu nuī'' "you and me"
: ''sā amālá'' "he loves it" ''sā'''s''' amālá'' "he loves himself"
''murátu ī muránu'' "you are dead and I am dead"


''saíkat bûlū'' "philosopher or fool"
: ''asa amālá-su'' "he loves him" ''amālá masa amālá-su'''s''''' "he loves whom loves him"
''sitátu ū būlátu''


Have him to do it
: ''asi'''s''' m’alá-sȳ'' "he makes her love him" / ''asi m’alá-sȳ'''s''''' "he makes her love herself"


=====Restrictive Clauses=====
====Absolute Clauses====


=====Non-Restrictive Clauses=====
Absolute clauses modify their subjects/objects through means beneath the clausal level (i.e. they consist of sentences that do not specify a noun).


restrictive and non-restrictive clause
=====Argument Clauses=====


Some subordinated clauses may prioritize the use of the triptote formula, addressing it as marker of the same level of the sentence rather than a particle attached to certain elements (e.g.''sā'''ru''' maíval askút'' "I think it is their mother" and '''''cu''' āūla sāri maíval askút'' "I think it is their mother's personhood"). As consequence, the clause is effectively treated as a pseudo-noun bearing the same syntactic functions as the latter.

====Relative Clauses====


[[w:Relative clause|Relative clauses]] modify their subjects/objects through means above the clausal level (i.e. they consist of sentences that specify a noun). Clitics and heretoclitic pronouns are responsible for this feature, be they proper to denote gender such ''sa'' or case such as ''masu''; with the latter being a mere variant of the former when no noun is applied (e.g. ''murus su, saíkat iru'' "the philosopher who is dead" and ''muras masu'' "who is dead").


sā amālá "he loves"
=====Non-Restrictive Clauses=====


[[w:Relative clause#Restrictive and non-restrictive|Non-restrictive]] relations force right-bound order, where the verb follows the object, and the (hetero)clitic pronoun is situated after the (pro)noun it relativizes (e.g. ''bîbliru, sa nā babál'' "the book, which is being read by me").

=====Restrictive Clauses=====


The Adamic Code can be spoken in a poetic register, called Canonic, where the Coloration Table is almost abused in grammatical restructuration. In this register, for example, sound laws follow coloration rules, as well as cases and verbal conjugations, in such form that another language is created within the language after abandoning the system of patterns. Vide the translation of "I think the person is dead":
[[w:Relative clause#Restrictive and non-restrictive|Restrictive]] relations force left-bound order, where the verb precedes the object, and the (hetero)clitic pronoun is situated before the (pro)noun it relativizes (e.g. ''babál nā, sa bîbliru'' "the book which is being read by me").

====Alternation====
 
'''Accrescence''' (...): type-1 consonants extend to ...
 
'''Excrescence''' (''{{Phonorule|H|Q|V_R}}''): type-2 consonants extend to ''i'', ''u'', ''nd'', ''mb'', ''lb'', and ''rd'' respectively when intervovalic as onset to A-vowels.
 
'''Decrescence''' (''{{Phonorule|Z|∅|[#]_[#]/[G]_[G]}}''): type-3 consonants disappear when marginal, except when in contact with their respective dominant vowel.
 
====Elision====
 
Apocape (1): in a word with three syllables or more, the initial unstressed syllable is lost if it lacks an onset or a long vowel.
 
Syncope (2): in a word with three syllables or more, the middle unstressed syllable is lost if it is not closed by a coda or possesses a long vowel.
 
Aphaeresis (3): in a word with three syllables or more, the last unstressed syllable is lost if it lacks a coda or a long vowel.
 
====Epenthesis====
 
Prothesis: in a word with two or just one syllable, if there is an initial consonant cluster, a vowel (depending on the nature of the consonant) is added.
EX: ...
 
Anaptyxis: in a word with two or just one syllable, if there is a middle consonant cluster, the vowel /a/ is added.
EX: 'atlya > adalyal
 
Paragoge: in a word with two or just one syllable, if there is a final consonant cluster, a vowel (depending on the nature of the consonant).
EX: palk > palsil
 
====Harmony====

Canonic extends the concepts of "short" and "long" in Adamic grammar to the syllable as a whole, identifying the following segments:
 
*(C)<sup>2</sup>V(C̥) ([[w:Syllable weight|light]])
 
*(C)<sup>2</sup>VV(C̥) ~ (C)<sup>2</sup>V̄(C̥) ~ (C)<sup>2</sup>VC̬(C̥) ([[w:Syllable weight|heavy]])
 
*(C)<sup>2</sup>V̄V(C̥) ~ (C)<sup>2</sup>VVC̬(C̥) ~ (C)<sup>2</sup>V̄C̬(C̥) ([[w:Syllable weight|superheavy]])
 
Any other arrangement, such as ''(C)(C)V̄VC̬'', is forbidden. [...] Non-sonorant consonants if [...] C̬ = one sonorant or two non-sonorant consonants, C̥ = one non-sonorant consonant
 
light (μ<sub>1</sub>)
heavy (μ<sub>2</sub>)
superheavy (μ<sub>3</sub>)
 
A line of 36 morae ranges from 12 superheavy syllables up to 36 light syllables [...]

''maubidik'' "sperm whale"
''bailzaibub'' "fly"

====Canonic Inflection/Conjugation====
 
In the Canonic register of Adamic, affixes are modified according to the Coloration Table and the Triptote Table in order to assign fusional significance to its phonemes. [...] There are 150 possibilities out of 36 permutations.

The canonic conjugation, for lacking the subjunctive and junctive functions or a finite verb, and the presence of non-finite forms, is relegated as a class of enunciative constructions often associated with literary practices. That is: canonic verbs appear in narration solely, or when an event is being described without biases. Vide the translation of "'I think that he is dead,' he said":

The Canonic Declension distinguishes itself from the Canonic Conjugation merely by inverting the inclusion of ''-a-''. Compare the pair ''zīs'' "to the giant" / ''azīs'' "the giant's" with ''kāuf'' "I kill" / ''iāpa'' "I am killed".
