About Pashanga
I don't even know what's going on here so enjoy.
Features:
SOV word order, with OSV in relative clauses and SVO in questions Phonemic tones Tones marked by consonant codas, much like Hmong Though these consonant codes are still present in the language, prosodical intonation and stress systems feature more prominently and tones are less important, though still indicated in the script (here, prosodical intonation refers to the rising intonation at the end of questions, and emphasis put on certain words in different occasions) For speakers that choose stress over tone, stress is placed on the last syllable (suffixes included) and the penultimate syllable when there is no consonant coda for the former Noun-adjective Possessee-possessor Three noun classes - human, animal, and inanimate 3 simple tenses, with different conjugations Different conjugations for transitive and intransitive verbs Word initial geminates exist only when marking a negated verb, plus all tense affixes are differentiated from the words they are attached to by their geminates Weird (I guess) orthography
