Themsarian/de

Der korrekte Titel dieses Artikels lautet "Themsarisch".

Die themsarische Sprache, auch bezeichnet als Edles Themsarisch, ist eine alte talsmische Sprache, die im Andaegṓr-Imperium gebräuchlich war.

PIE in Hebrew

This Hebrew abjadic script is based on the glottalic theory: "voiced" stops are written as Hebrew emphatic consonants, and "breathy voiced" stops are written as voiced stops. Also note that the "palatal" series of stops is transcribed with the Hebrew affricate series (thus showing a coincidental Satem bias).

• dative -tł

Vowels change according to historical stress positions as well as historical ejective consonants. The Ractamic stress/vowel system start out similarly to Latin, but develop in very different directions.

Talsmic

Themsarian

In Themsarian the topic is NOT prominent - the topic comes immediately after the verb most of the time?

Old Vernacular Talsmic

Old Vernacular Talsmic dialects are largely similar to Noble Themsarian, but there are grammatical, lexical and stylistic differences:

• Using the subject-infinitive more and more, eventually to express various aspectual and modal meanings.
  • The synthetic preterite falls into disuse, being supplanted by the "after infinitive-subject" construction.
• Collapses all state distinctions in adjectives (into the former predicative form)
• The dual is often not used, except for emphasis or stylistic reasons.

Given topic prominence and topicalization = fronting, new (discourse-new) subject is fronted, since it is new topic. Then this becomes a topic prominent/V2 language as in vernacular Talsmic. Relative clauses are by default VSO but can undergo fronting for focus. Discourse-new object is fronted as well.

Qelorian

• The subject of a relative clause is indexed by adding a pronominal suffix on the head (if they are different)

• Relative clauses occur before the noun. There is no marking save the order.

Witcanese

Wetcanese is a mainly agglutinative, head-final language.

Kòtih wanaih kèpwanchè.

1SG.GEN-ERG mother-ERG 1SG.ABS-hate-WIT

My mother used to hate me.

Phonology

Wetcanese has a simple syllable structure relative to most European languages. Permissible syllable shapes are V, CV, VC, CVC, CGV, and CGVC where G is a glide.

Adjectives and Genitives

Verbs

Verbs in Wetcanese have no tense or aspect inflection; instead, there is evidentiality and mood which can do double duty as certain tenses The irrealis is the default, unmarked mood/evidentiality, serving the role of the infinitive or the future in other languages.

Wetcanese mood/evidentiality affixes
irrealis	-Ø
witness	-chè
emphatic	-kòd
jurative	-tèmuh
quotative	-sha
mirative	-quh
hearsay	-ot
inferential	-eq
assumptive	-rwè
optative	-mes
imperative	-wõ
potential	-hiw
desiderative	-pãs
admonitive	-ay
permissive	-hyè

Phátu nukuchè...

When did I last see it... (lit. When it was_located-I saw...)

The mirative marks new information that the speaker is witnessing. It often corresponds to present tense. In narratives it is used to exhort the listener for attention.

Qayòlih milám hugaquh.

Hey, the demon's chasing the dog!/Behold, the demon chased the dog.

The quotative is used for information from third-party sources deemed to be authoritative. As such it is the evidential most often encountered in narratives.

Qayòlih milám hugasha.

The demon chased the dog. (narrative)

The admonitive is used in prohibitions and warnings, and for negative purpose clauses.

Phi qhashãsay

Do not wander around

ha ãbè mòsipay

lest this be forgotten

Wetcanese makes use of verbal affixes, instead of intonation (like English) or word order (as in some European languages and Celtic/Hebrew), in order to focus a constituent.
