I've finished the quite-complicated pronoun system for A̋llunóñe and have moved on to honorifics. They only apply to one caste, so this should be a lot easier and quicker than figuring out pronouns for all castes, as well as non-human things.

Eventually, I'll be sharing this information online, just like with my other conlangs. On Dreamwidth, I have one post per conlang, and that worked just fine. But I don't think it will for A̋llunóñe. The documentation is already at 19 pages, and there are plenty of sections of the grammar I haven't even touched yet. I don't even have word order yet.

I'll definitely have to make multiple blog posts, but I haven't yet decided how many. Or maybe I'll just make one blog post, with the information condensed down to the most important things.

I think this is probably the longest I've gone without actually coming up with a name for a conlang. I've created more words since my last update, but none of them seem suitable to actually use as a name. If I don't come up with anything in the next month, I'm probably going to just start calling it samara, which is just the word for "language".

After deciding that syllables could end in /t/, I decided to remove that rule. I only had two words will syllables ending in /t/ and I didn't actually like how they looked.

I took the time to work on adjectives and verbs this past week. I decided that adjectives precede nouns, agree in case and number, and are declined like nouns – so they have different declensions depending on if they end in a vowel or consonant. I also worked out comparative and superlative forms of adjectives.

For verbs, I decided they'd be marked for tense and mood. I originally wanted them to be marked for person and number, but then I decided there would be four different verb conjugations, and since this is a fusional language and not agglutinative, I'd have to create way too many verb endings if I marked person and number as well.

Yes, four verb conjugations. There's a conjugation for verbs ending in vowels, one for verbs ending in nasals, one for verbs ending in /s/, and one for verbs ending in approximants. I could have had separate vowel and consonant conjugations like with nouns, but I thought that would be too boring.

The thing I'll be working on next is the pronouns system, which will probably end up being fairly complicated as the culture attached to this conlang has a pretty strict caste system. After that, it's on to numerals.

Yes, I've already started working on a new conlang. In fact, I started on Friday. I haven't been able to get very far, but I do have a phonology and a little bit of grammar.

One of the first decisions I made was to have the phonology be sonorant-heavy. From there, I decided that there would be a full "set" of palatal consonants. That led to all consonants being able to be palatalized, which then led to all back vowels having corresponding front versions.

Here is the current consonant inventory. Consonants in parentheses are exclusively palatalized versions of other consonants: [c], [ç], and [ʎ] are the palatal versions of /k/, /h/, and /l/.

	Labial	Alveolar	Palatal	Velar
Nasal	m	n	ɲ	ŋ
Stop	p	t	(c)	k
Affricate		ts	tɕ
Fricative		s	ɕ (ç)	x
Approximant	w	l ɹ	j (ʎ)

There are no voiced stops solely because it didn't fit the aesthetic I had in mind for the conlang. As for the orthography, the only consonants that don't match their IPA values are /ɲ/, /ŋ/, /ɕ/, /x/, and /j/, which are written <ñ>, <ng>, <sh>, <h>, and <y>, respectively.

For vowels, I didn't really know what I wanted except for /i/, /e/, and /a/. I then expanded that to include /o/ and /u/, but still didn't know how to make the vowel inventory unique. It didn't necessarily need to be unique, but I didn't exactly want to go with the "standard" vowel phonology. That seemed a bit boring.

I decided that back vowels would front when the following syllable contained a front vowel. Now there were five front vowels and three back vowels. Then, because that wasn't enough, I decided to add vowel length. The current vowel inventory is shown below.

	Front	Back
Close	i iː y yː	u uː
Mid	e eː ø øː	o oː
Open	a aː	ɑ ɑː

The vowels /y/, /ø/, and /a/ are written <ü>, <ö>, and <ä>. Long vowels are indicated with an acute accent. For the "regular" vowels, this produces <á>, <é>, <í>, <ó>, and <ú>. I was a little confused as to what to do with <ü>, <ö>, and <ä>, until I did some research and found out that double acute accents exist – Hungarian uses them, among other languages. So the long versions of <ü>, <ö>, and <ä> are <ű>, <ő> and <a̋>.

That's about it for the phonology at the moment. I haven't really decided on the stress system or if I want any diphthongs to exist.

For grammar, I've just started working on nouns. I knew from the beginning that I wanted at least two unique noun classes – I decided on animate and inanimate – but not much else. What would nouns be declined for? Are those declensions suffixes or postpositions? What kind of agreement do they have with other parts of speech?

I decided that this language wouldn't be agglutinative. Most of my conlangs are, because it makes things nice, orderly, and easy to remember. But I wanted this conlang to look like a language with a long literary history – my initial inspirations were Tocharian and Sanskrit – so I decided it would be fusional in morphology.

This isn't a very big deal at the moment, since nouns are only declined for case (nominative, genitive, accusative, dative, and vocative) and number (singular and plural). Animacy isn't distinguished on nouns; it will be instead shown on some other part of speech – I haven't yet decided if it will be articles, prepositions, adjectives, or something else.

Since words can end in either vowels or certain consonants, I made different declensions for vowel-final nouns and consonant-final nouns. There are two examples below.

Declension of süriññe "temple" (vowel-final declension):

	Singular	Plural
Nominative	süriññe	süriññel
Genitive	süriññes	süriññem
Accusative	süriññele	süriññen
Dative	süriññeha	süriññer
Vocative	süriñña̋	süriññő

Declension of pekweñ "book" (consonant-final declension):

	Singular	Plural
Nominative	pekweñ	pekweññe
Genitive	pekweñña	pekweñaru
Accusative	pekweññé	pekweñelu
Dative	pekweññi	pekweñäye
Vocative	pekweñám	pekweñámu

Süriññe and pekweñ are actually the only two words I've created. I don't even have a name for this conlang yet!

I may or may not make more update posts on this conlang. If I do, I doubt it'll be on any sort of regular schedule.
