Kiryattic is a Finnic language spoken in Greece | Kiryattic (/ˈkir.jæ.tɪk/ in the US or /ˈkir.jə.ˌtɪk/ in the UK, less often "Kiryish" /ˈkir.jɪʃ/) is a Finnic language spoken in Greece. Kiryattic is most distinguishable by its loss of vowel harmony, as well as its preservation of word final Proto-Finnic *k (as modern /ɣ/) and *h (as modern /k/). | ||

Kiryattic is a Finnic language, belonging to the Finnic branch of the Uralic family, making it related to Finnish, Estonian, and, more distantly, Hungarian. Kiryattic is one of the only Finnic languages that doesn't fit in the Finnic dialect continuum, as it's diverged enough to be distinctly separate. Despite this distance from the other Finnic languages, it still shares | Kiryattic is a Finnic language, belonging to the Finnic branch of the Uralic family, making it related to Finnish, Estonian, and, more distantly, Hungarian. Kiryattic is one of the only Finnic languages that doesn't fit in the Finnic dialect continuum, as it's diverged enough to be distinctly separate. Despite this distance from the other Finnic languages, it still shares many features. | ||
The Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, United States, classifies Kiryattic as a level III language in terms of difficulty for native English speakers, citing the sheer amount of morphology it possesses. | The Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, United States, classifies Kiryattic as a level III language in terms of difficulty for native English speakers, citing the sheer amount of morphology it possesses. | ||

Kiryattic is believed to have split off from Proto-Finnic around 800AD, as the last language to do so. Following this is roughly 2 centuries of migration to Naissus, over which they'd pick up some influence from other languages along the way, notably Germanic and Slavic. This influence would be through loan words exclusively though, as no settlement stayed long enough to pick up more. | Kiryattic is believed to have split off from Proto-Finnic around 800AD, as the last language to do so.

From roughly 1050AD to 1200AD, Kiryattic was spoken by the Kiryats in Naissus, where they'd pick up the first of their Greek influence, this was far more notable though, as they'd stay in Greece permanently, where Greek would start to influence grammar, mostly syntax | From roughly 1050AD to 1200AD, Kiryattic was spoken by the Kiryats in Naissus, where they'd pick up the first of their Greek influence, this was far more notable though, as they'd stay in Greece permanently, where Greek would start to influence grammar, mostly syntax. | ||
After 1200AD, it seems they began moving towards Greek proper, where they'd eventually settle in Macedonia in 1327AD, an event thought to be recorded in some historic texts from the time that mention the arrival of a strange people who spoke differently from the local Greeks, though it seems the Kiryats were accepted by the locals, as it's likely they could speak Greek. | After 1200AD, it seems they began moving towards Greek proper, where they'd eventually settle in Macedonia in 1327AD, an event thought to be recorded in some historic texts from the time that mention the arrival of a strange people who spoke differently from the local Greeks, though it seems the Kiryats were accepted by the locals, as it's likely they could speak Greek. | ||

Doubled letters are always long unless representing the coda position, where they're short, such as in "κϊαλϊλγ" /caʎʝ/. | |||
A consonant followed by "ϊ" is always palatalized, in clusters, all consonants are palatalized, such as "λϊγκ" being /ʎɟ/. A general rule is only one "ϊ" per cluster, and it's always the earliest one, so if a compound would end up with "κϊλγϊ", it'll become "κϊλγ". | |||

====Cases==== | |||
The cases are a rather central part of Kiryattic, but many are falling out of use. | |||
The abessive and comitative are essentially extinct, and the cases for movement are quickly becoming the same. | |||
The lost cases are typically replaced by an adverb of adposition, or their meaning is taken by another case. | |||
:Comitative: "-ν", replaced by "μιτ", thought to come from Old High German "mit". | |||
:Abessive: "-ττη", replaced by "αανω", thought to be from Old High German "āno", "āna", or "ānu" | |||
:Allative: Developed into the dative case, original allative meaning replaced by "προς" + the dative. "προς" is believed to be from the Ancient Greek of the same spelling. | |||
:Illative: "-ε", replaced by "ις", thought to be from Ancient Greek "εις". | |||
:Elative, Ablative, Translative: "-στη", "-λτη", "-δη", replaced by "εγ", apparently from Ancient Greek "εκ". | |||
:Adessive: "-λλη", replaced by "πρη'", thought to be from Old Church Slavonic "pri". | |||
:Inessive: "-σση", replaced by "ε", apparently from Ancient Greek "εν". | |||

:1: The imperative was restructured early on, it now follows the present indicative, but with the vowel (here -á-) doubled. | |||
:2: The difference between the old past and the new past is the forms alone, they're identical in usage. | |||
As can be seen, Kiryattic has unique negative forms, these developed from the suffixation of Proto-Finnic *e- (negative verb) to the connegative form, these connegative forms were later lost, leaving only the negative forms. | |||
| | |||
| | In modern everyday speech, the imperative is often reduced down to the 1st person singular forms (Ex. "λευτάά" and "λευτάάκε") and a pronoun is used instead of inflecting, so "You will find" is "σινυ λευτάά" in informal speech, while in proper speech it's "λευτάάτ" | ||
The following table is the inflection of "-βη", the participle ending. | |||
