Aisgariano
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Aisgariano is the langauge developed as a trade langauge in the middle of Rakion.
Writing System
Bafigronish Script.
Phonology
Musical and open. Almost every word ends in a vowel. It features geminate (doubled) consonants which are held longer (e.g., Abba-isgar). It sounds passionate, clear, and carries well across water or busy markets.
Morphology
Heavy use of diminutive and augmentative suffixes to change meaning (e.g., a "small coin" vs. a "great wealth"). This is vital in Aisgariano trade culture.
Sentence Structure
SVO, but highly flexible. Word order often shifts to place the most important information (the price, the threat, the name) at the beginning of the sentence.
Adjective Order
Noun + Adjective. Placing an adjective before the noun often changes the meaning to be more figurative or emotional.
Structural Markers
Uses specific honorific markers as prefixes to names to indicate mercantile rank or debt-status.
