About Jutean
A language with Hawaiian-reminiscent phonology and typology with a sentence structure inspired by Tagalog and some ergative-absolutive languages, and some influences from a few other languages, like Mandarin and Japanese. Piraha and Tongan also provided some inspirations, even English did, and some other languages. Started out as a language developed for Jute to give the nation more depth with short texts in its own language.
Some features this language has, and some it lacks:
Compact phonology with just five base vowels and nine consonants (+ some allophones, and diphthongs)
Tagalog-like Austronesian alignment combined with a split ergativity inspired by English ergative verbs (such as to break, open, melt)
Various marked moods, such as Indicative, Imperative, Conditional, Subjunctive and Hortative.
No passive voice (triggers used instead), tense, number (except in some pronouns), articles or adjectives (nouns and verbs used)
Three genders, one for common/civilization-related words, one for abstract, immaterial, and most general, unknown or unknowable words, and one for all wilderness-related words, especially the rainforest and the ocean.
A sizeable number of personal pronouns, featuring four clusitivity distinctions, three/four numbers, three animacy distinctions and gendered inanimate prononus
There are also no possessive pronouns or genitive. Inalienable possession is indicated with "a", signifying "of" or "by", alienable possession with relative nominalization.
