'''Keˑs̠mmi''' (meaning "our language") is a divergent Finnic language, descended from Proto-Finnic. Its main source of aesthetic inspiration is Toda. It's spoken in Irta's Finland and Estonia.

~~==Todo==~~

It features a system of initial consonant mutations similar to Celtic languages and Biblical Hebrew.

~~quê = egg~~

üṣ, kaṣ, kwës̠m, neɬ, piˑθ, kuˑθ, sayt̠, kaθëṣ, üθëṣ, kümn, üṣtwis, kaṣtwis, kwës̠mtwis, neɬtwis, piˑtwis, kuˑtwis, sayt̠wis, kaθëṣtwis, üθëṣtwis, kaṣkümd

~~chan = worm~~

oyx - time

~~quelm~~ = ~~table~~

==Sound changes from Proto-Finnic==

~~fêdon = honor~~

*Initial ''v'' becomes ''p'', as in ''pïḍ'' "stream" <- virta

*Medial ''l'' becomes alveolar retracted ''s̠'' in native vocab, as in ''kas̠'' "fish" <- kala

*Vowel shifts and umlaut: ''swïx'' "kin" <- suku, ''ïpšn'' "I studied" <- Estonian õppisin, ''söwr'' "society" ~ seura

*Begadkefat spirantization: t tt -> θ t etc.

~~ceren~~ = ~~office~~

==Morphology==

~~parzen = house~~

The Finnic consonant gradation isn't reflected in Kesmmi nominal morphology. Some nouns derive from Proto-Finnic nominatives while others derive from genitive or oblique cases (and there are sometimes doublets).

~~stroz~~, ~~struz = to laugh~~

* käsy /kæzʲ/ "hand" (nominative)

* käsyn /kæzʲn/ (genitive)

* käsyθ /kæzʲθ/ (partitive)

* käsyṣ /kæzʲʂ/ (illative, from the Proto-Finnic translative)

* käsynnë /kæzʲnnə/ (inessive, from the Proto-Finnic essive)

* käsyd /kæzʲd/ (elative, from the Proto-Finnic exessive)

* käsylë /kæzʲlə/ (dative)

* käsyl /kæzʲl/ (adessive)

* käsyr̠ /kæzʲr̠/ (ablative)

* käsyt /kæzʲt/ (abessive)

* käsygo /kæzʲɡo/ (comitative)

~~vriên, mavrîen = to think~~
