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

==Sound changes from Proto-Finnic== | |||
*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 | |||

==Morphology== | |||
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). | |||

* 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) | |||
