[[Cascadian Turkic/Lexicon|Lexicon]]
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''nủtufỉxi'', from ''nủtu'' 'Pategian' + ''fỉxi'' 'language') is a [[Pategic languages|Pategic]] language spoken by the [[Verse:Tricin/Pategia|Pategian]] people in [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]].


'''Cascadian Turkic''' is a Turkic language spoken in [[User:IlL/Lõis]]'s Pacific Northwest.
It is inspired by Welsh, Hungarian, and classical IE languages (Latin, Greek and Avestan). Pategian is also analogous to Hungarian from a diachronic perspective: roots that are disyllabic in other Pategic languages are often monosyllabic in Pategian.


<!--
==Dialects==
 
Pategian has 4 main dialects:
This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
*Tảmhẻxra
 
*Fathrẩc
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
*Kẻlet
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
*Ảnfihẻzi
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

===Consonants===
p t ts tc k b d dz dq g ph th s c kh h f x z q m n l r lh rh j


All letters are pronounced as in Turkish, except:
/p t ts tʃ k b d dz dʒ g f θ s ʃ x h v ð z ʒ m n l r ɬ rʰ j/


* '''e''' is always /ɛ/ [e̞ ~ ɛ], never /æ/;
===Vowels===
* '''ı''' is typically [ə ~ ʌ̈];
a â e i o u y ả ẩ ẻ ỉ ỏ ủ ỷ
* '''r''' is /ɹ/ or /ɻ/;
/a ɑ e i o u ɨ a: ɑ: e: i: o: u: ɨ:/
* '''ŕ''' is /r/;
* '''ȼ''' is /ɬ/;
* '''ŋ''' is /ŋ/; and
* '''ẓ''' is /ʒ/.


The letters '''w''' /w/ and '''y''' /y/ are used in foreign words. In addition, educated speakers often make a distinction between the native phonemes '''h''' /h/ and '''k''' /k/, and the phonemes '''ḥ''' /x/ and '''ḳ''' /q/ respectively, which can be found in Eskimo and Salish loans. However, the use of ejectives in Lushootseed loans that have them, e.g. /ts’əm/ for ''tsım (etmik)'' 'to pick berries' is considered pretentious.
===Pitch accent===


===Vowel harmony===
Old Pategian had a pitch accent in long vowels which could be rising (written ả) or falling (written ạ). The distinction is neutralized in Modern Pategian.
 
The symbols X and O denote two underspecified vowels. X can be i, ı, u or ü, and O can be e, a, o or ö.

No initial clusters, geminates allowed

===Nouns===
Stress follows the Dreimorengesetz.


Cascadian Turkic has 6 cases:
==Morphology==
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Case !! Nominative !! Genitive !! Accusative !! Locative !! Ablative !! Dative
|-
| Ending || || -(n)O || -(n)X || -dX/-tX || -dXn/-tXn || -kX, -ŋX after a vowel
|}
 
The plural is -lXŕ.
 
Unusually for a Turkic language, first and second person possessives are prefixes.
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| 1 || be- || rim-
|-
| 2 || ȼe- || re-
|}
 
The third person possessive is a suffix: -(s)X. -sX may be abbreviated to -s.
 
===Verbs===
* Simple present: -(X)ŕ-, negative -mXr-
* Present continuous: -bie-, negative -mXbie-
* Past: -dX/tX-, negative -mXdX-
* Evidential past: -mXs-, negative -mXmXs-
* Future: -(X)ẓXŋ-, negative -mXẓXŋ-
 
Here are the personal suffixes:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| 1 || -mXn || -mXr
|-
| 2 || -sXn || -sXr
|-
| 3 || -Ø/-dXŕ/-tXŕ || -Ø/-lXŕ
|}
 
These work somewhat differently in the present continuous tense:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| 1 || -biemin || -biemir
|-
| 2 || -biesin || -biesir
|-
| 3 || -bier || -bier/-bieliŕ
|}
 
In the future tense and in predicative sentences (where these suffixes are attached to nouns or adjectives), -sXn and -sXr become -ȼXn and -ȼXr respectively. The suffix -dXŕ/tXŕ may be used for third person predicatives.
 
The existential verb 'there is' is ''bıaŕ'', negative ''ẓuok''.
 
The root ''tut-'' can be used with the meaning 'to have'.

''Süötüptün'' = the Pacific Northwest, from Lushootseed "swátixʷtəd" (earth)
 
''tsımetmik'' = to pick berries, from Lushootseed "c’əb"
 
''tsımẓı'' = berry picker (-ẓı ~ Turkish -cı)
 
''shıwın'' = blackberry, from Lushootseed "sx̌əgʷəd"

Most ancient Pategian poetry was written in flexible quantitative meters reminiscent of Vedic Sanskrit, but a few authors have experimented with the stricter quantitative meters.
