#+setupfile: headers
* Zikãti
Zikãti ({{{phon(d̻͡zikãti)}}}) is an agglutinative language I am currently
working on as an experiment. It doesnt have any worldbuilding around
it yet and may never have. Im mostly experimenting with vocabulary
generation with a language relying heavily on affixes modifying the
meaning of a root word.
** Phonology
*** Consonants
Zikãti has a moderately small consonant inventory with seventeen
phonemes. Three of these phonemes are prenasalized plosives, and its
alveolar consonants are laminal.
- b :: {{{phon(b)}}}
- d :: {{{phon(d̻)}}}
- g :: {{{phon(ŋ)}}}
- h :: {{{phon(h)}}}
- k :: {{{phon(k)}}}
- l :: {{{phon(ʟ)}}}
- m :: {{{phon(m)}}}
- mb :: {{{phon(ᵐb)}}}
- n :: {{{phon(n̻)}}}
- nd :: {{{phon(ⁿd̻)}}}
- nz :: {{{phon(ⁿd̻͡z)}}}
- p :: {{{phon(p)}}}
- q :: {{{phon(kʷ)}}}
- r :: {{{phon(r̻)}}}
- s :: {{{phon(s̻)}}}
- t :: {{{phon(t̻)}}}
- z :: {{{phon(d̻͡z)}}}

| fricative | | s | | | h |
| trill | | r | | | |
| lateral approximant | | | l | | |
*** Vowels
Zikãti has a total of six vowels, which makes it relatively average in
terms of size. Three of these vowels are nazalised:
- a :: {{{phon(a)}}}
- ã :: {{{phon(ã)}}}
- ẽ :: {{{phon(ɛ̃)}}}
- i :: {{{phon(i)}}}
- õ :: {{{phon(ɔ̃)}}}
- u :: {{{phon(u)}}}

*** Syllable and word structure
| Group | Consonants |
|-----------+--------------------------------------|
| C | m n g mb nd nz p b t d z k q s h r l |
| C_{2} | g p b t d z k q r h |
| V | i u ẽ õ a ã |
| V[-nasal] | i u a |
| V[+nasal] | ã ẽ õ |
Prefixes follow the (C_{2})V[-nasal] phonetic structure, with C_{2} being
optional. Suffixes follow the CV[+nasal](C_{2}) structure with C_{2} being
optional.
Roots are a bit more complex, with a C(V[+nasal](C_{2})C)V[-nasal](C_{2})
structure.
The only consonants that can follow the vowels /õ/ and /ẽ/ are non-nasal
plosive consonants. These two vowels cannot follow the consonants /m/,
/n/, or /g/. If such an occurence is created be it while constructing a
word or when they co-occur between words, a dummy {{{phon(u)}}} is added.
A word may contain one or more core roots which affixes cannot
separate but which can aggregate around this word core. A word can
consist of its bare core only, or the core surrounded by affixes. The
amount of prefixes and suffixes is independent from each other.
** Grammar
*** Word structure
**** Affixes
Most words in Zikãti is an agglutination of affixes around one or more
roots or words. Roots are relatively rare to find by themselves since
most of them are bound morphenes and not words by themselves, such as
/kãti/ which expresses the idea of a mountain but doesnt really mean
anything on its own, speakers of Zikãti cannot use it by itself.
For the meaning of some abbreviations in the list of prefixes and
suffixes, see [[file:zikãti.md#Abbreviations][Abbreviations]].
***** Prefixes
- hi- :: INSTV
- hu- :: TOOL
- i- :: COL
- ka- :: POSSIB
- pi- :: DIM
- qa- :: AUG
- qi- :: ADJ
- qu- :: PROG
- ra- :: LOC
- ru- :: NEG
- ti- :: CAUS
- zi- :: PERS
***** Suffixes
- -dãt :: PART
- -gãs :: AGAT
- -hãr :: NECESS
- -hẽ :: INTR
- -kõt :: PARTN
- -nzẽz :: AVER
- -rã :: TR
- -sõr :: NOMIN
- -zãr :: PASS
*** Word order
Zikãti is a postpositional language following the SOV word order in
main clauses, meaning the verb comes last whereas the subject comes
first and the object slots itself between the subject and the verb.
However, due to the languages agglutinative nature, the speaker can
omit them in the sentence if the verbs agreement is enough in context
to determine what is being talked about.

sahhẽqulur
- sah-hẽ-qu-lur
- spirit.mind-INTR-PROG-2sg.NOM.PST

- PERS-meat.food meat.food-NOMIN meat.food-TR-3s.NOM.NPST-3s.ACC.NPST
The cook prepares a meal
#+html: :::
Other elements that are not the subject or the object, such as a
dative or an oblique element, get slotted between the subject and the
object.

- PERS-meat.food DIM-COL-LOC-COL-person.human
CAUS-meat.food-TR-3s.NOM.PST-3s.ACC.PST
A cook fed a villager a snack
#+html: :::
**** Noun phrase order
In noun phrases, adjectives, relatives clauses, numerals, possessives,
and genitives preceed the noun while determiners follow it. By order
of element closest to the noun, they rank as follows:
- determiner
- possessive
- adjective
- numeral
- genitive
- relative
*** Verbs
Verbs in Zikãti agree with their subject and object in person and
number, with anaphoric clitics, but these clitics also indicate the
tense of the verb. Zikãti has two tenses: past and non-past which
expresses present and future as well as near-past when its events
still carry over to the present.
Anaphoric clitics are suffixed to the verb with the subject first
followed by the objects clitic.
| | non-past subject | non-past object | past subject | past object |

| 1s | qa | tut | raq | qut |
