The evolution of the Walnerian language (often referred to as [[Rútenunk|'''Rútenung''']], literally meaning "Rooting" or "of the root") can be subdivided into 4 seperate phases, based on linguistic and orthographic development of the language:
#'''[[Rútenunk#Zusamëlfasunk|Zusamëlfasunk]]''' - Creation of the language as a result of the intermixing populace shortly after the [[Entenian Wars]], the language itself was only a [[wikipedia:West Slavic languages|Yasic]]-[[wikipedia:Early New High German|Dolch]] [[wikipedia:Pidgin|pidgin language]] in this stage
#'''[[Rútenunk#Sontŕrismus|Sontŕrismus]]''' - The stabilisation of the Walnerian grammar, establishment of rigid rules on inflection and verbs, as well as a more [[wikipedia:Germanic languages|Dolchic]] linguistic base. Linguistic purists centered on Yasic roots, triggering the [[Walneria#Cultural resistance|Yasic cultural rebirth movements]] as a response
#'''[[Rútenunk#Smíŕní|Smíŕní]]''' - A boomerang effect of the [[Walneria#Cultural resistance|Yasic cultural rebirth]] as well as a political situation of that time. Walnerian language incorporates more Yasic words and grammatic features, although keeping mostly germanic grammatical system
#'''[[Rútenunk#Vortspílí|Vortspílí]]''' - Era of where the languages mixed grammar is used in a creation of a more diverse language. Many lost and new words are imported from both Yasic and Germanic languages, creating a rather rich vocabulary. This era in extension spans to the [[#Present day|present day]]

===Zusamëlfasunk===
The Zusamëlfasunk is the historical process that happened at the and and after the [[Entenian Wars]], which lead to the creation of the modern Walnerian language as a mixture of slavic languages and the [[wikipedia:Early New High German|Early New High Dolch]] language. Even though the language itself began as a [[wikipedia:Pidgin|pidgin language]], it developed into a full-blown language in the era of Walnerian purism and at the end of the Zusamëlfasunk era.
The '''Zusamëlfasunk''' (literally "Putting together") is the historical process that happened at the and and after the [[Entenian Wars]], which lead to the creation of the modern Walnerian language as a mixture of Yasic languages and the [[wikipedia:Early New High German|Early New High Dolch]] language. Even though the language itself began as a [[wikipedia:Pidgin|pidgin language]], it developed into a full-blown language in the era of Walnerian purism and at the end of the Zusamëlfasunk era.


The oldest surviving text from the era of Zusamëlfasunk, which could be considered to be written in a predecessor of modern Walnerian is dated into the year 1442 by one of the knights of the king's of Walneria's expedition in Saldania and reads:

The Walnerian language uses a combination of [[wikipedia:Digraph (orthography)|digraph]] (Cs, Ch, Ss) and [[wikipedia:Diacritic|diacritic]] (Á, É, Ë, Í, Ó, Ŕ, Ú) modifications of the [[wikipedia:Latin script|Latin alphabet]]. It developed out of the digraph orthography used by the [[wikipedia:Early New High German|Early New High Dolch]], introducing diacritics for vowels (and letter Ŕ, which developed from the -ER- stem).

The Walnerian language (Walnerian: Rósberissŕ Sproch; in Fraktur orthography Rósbériſſꝛ Sproch), which is simply referred to as Walnerian (Walnerian: Rósbériss; in Fraktur orthography Rósbériſs) is a Dolchic language spoken in Walneria.

History

Main article: Rútenunk
See also: Entenian Wars

The evolution of the Walnerian language (often referred to as Rútenung, literally meaning "Rooting" or "of the root") can be subdivided into 4 seperate phases, based on linguistic and orthographic development of the language:

  1. Zusamëlfasunk - Creation of the language as a result of the intermixing populace shortly after the Entenian Wars, the language itself was only a Yasic-Dolch pidgin language in this stage
  2. Sontŕrismus - The stabilisation of the Walnerian grammar, establishment of rigid rules on inflection and verbs, as well as a more Dolchic linguistic base. Linguistic purists centered on Yasic roots, triggering the Yasic cultural rebirth movements as a response
  3. Smíŕní - A boomerang effect of the Yasic cultural rebirth as well as a political situation of that time. Walnerian language incorporates more Yasic words and grammatic features, although keeping mostly germanic grammatical system
  4. Vortspílí - Era of where the languages mixed grammar is used in a creation of a more diverse language. Many lost and new words are imported from both Yasic and Germanic languages, creating a rather rich vocabulary. This era in extension spans to the present day

Zusamëlfasunk

The Zusamëlfasunk (literally "Putting together") is the historical process that happened at the and and after the Entenian Wars, which lead to the creation of the modern Walnerian language as a mixture of Yasic languages and the Early New High Dolch language. Even though the language itself began as a pidgin language, it developed into a full-blown language in the era of Walnerian purism and at the end of the Zusamëlfasunk era.

The oldest surviving text from the era of Zusamëlfasunk, which could be considered to be written in a predecessor of modern Walnerian is dated into the year 1442 by one of the knights of the king's of Walneria's expedition in Saldania and reads:

Original text: „[...] Jec hahbnͤ wieꝛ ainen noien Nekamarahd, tehr Kehnik Saldaniaꝛ, wehꝛ yns in tehr Krieg ſſikt byľ gehgnͤ Petꝛ Ente ai zainꝛ Gruppe [...]“
Transcription: „[...] Jec hahbnͤ wieꝛ ainen noien Nekamarahd, tehr Kehnik Saldaniaꝛ, wehꝛ yns in tehr Krieg ſſikt był gehgnͤ Petꝛ Ente ai zainꝛ Gruppe [...]“
Modern orthography: „[...] Jec hábën víŕ ainen noien nekamarád, tér kénik Saldaniaŕ, véŕ yns in tér kríg ssikt byl gégën Petŕ Ente ai zainŕ grupe [...]“
Modern Walnerian: „[...] Cez hábën víŕ ainen noien neŕád, ten król Saldanissën, véŕ yns in tér kríg ssikal gégën Petŕ Ente ai igoŕ grupeŕ [...]“
Into Anglish: „[...] Yet we have a new opponent, the king of Saldania, who has sent us into war against Petŕ Ente and the group of his followers [...]“

Phonology and orthography

Orthography

Main article: Walnerian orthography

The Walnerian language uses a combination of digraph (Cs, Ch, Ss) and diacritic (Á, É, Ë, Í, Ó, Ŕ, Ú) modifications of the Latin alphabet. It developed out of the digraph orthography used by the Early New High Dolch, introducing diacritics for vowels (and letter Ŕ, which developed from the -ER- stem).

A a Á á B b C c Cs cs D d E e É é Ë ë F f

Bold are the common sounds, while regular sounds may happen in dialects and/or in a world for easier pronunciation

Changes in phonology

Walnerian, being Dolchic, as a direct descendant of Early New High Dolch, uses mostly a Dolch phonology, but due to the national integration, it took notable parts from the Yasic phonology. Notable phonetical shifts include:

  • Ä (/æː/) → É (/ɛː ~ eː/)
  • Ö (/œː/) → É (/ɛː ~ eː/)
  • Ü (/y/) → Y (/yː ~ ɨː/)
  • ER (/əˑʀ/) → Ŕ (/ʁ̩ ~ ə/)[a]
    • EER (/ɛːʀ/) → ÉR (/ɛːr ~ eːr/)[b]
  • EH (/ɛh̚/) → É(/ɛː ~ eː/)
    • EHR (/ɛaˑʀ/) → ÉŔ (/ɛːʁ ~ ɛːɐˑ/)[c]
  • AH (/ah̚ ~ ɑh̚/) → Á (/aː ~ ɑː/)
  • OH (/ɔh̚ ~ oh̚/) → Ó (/ɔː ~ oː/)
  • UH (/uh̚/) → Ú (/uː/)
  • AU (/au ~ ɑu/) → Ó (/ɔː ~ oː/)[d]
    • AU (Finial sound) → OV (/ɔf ~ of/)
  • EU (/ɔɪ/) → OI (/ɔj/)
  • NG (/ŋ ~ ŋɡ/) → NK (/ŋk/)
  • PF (/pf/) → P (/p/)
  • DT (/dt/) → D (/d/)
  1. ↑ On what sound is used in case of Ŕ is dependent on the word it is used in, as well as position in the word
  2. ↑ Example may include the Walnerian name "Mér" (Meaning "sea" in English), which is pronounced as /mɛːr/
  3. ↑ Example may include the Walnerian name "Méŕ" (Meaning "more" in English), which is pronounced as /mɛːaˑ/
  4. ↑ Does not apply to the monosyllabic words or composite words including a monosyllabic root. Example may be the word "Austóss" (Meaning "trip" in English), as the prefix Aus- can stand alone

Grammar

See also: Dolch grammar, Ustrokan grammar, and Malenik grammar

Just like many other Dolchic languages, Walnerian has two grammatical numbers (singular and plural) four grammatical cases:

And three grammatical genders, while in plural, genders merge into one indifferent plural form:

  • Masculine
  • Feminine
  • Neutrum

Articles

Gender Singular Plural Anglish
Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative
Masculine Tér Tes Tem Ten Tí Ten Ten Tí The
Neutrum Tas To
Feminine Ta Tér Tér Tí
Masculine Ain Aines Ainem Ainen — — — — A/An
Neutrum Aino
Feminine Aine Ainŕ Ainŕ Aine
Masculine Kain Kaines Kainem Kainen Kainí Kainen Kainen Kainí PRO.
Neutrum Kaino
Feminine Kaine Kainŕ Kainŕ Kaine

Nouns

The noun inflections are done based on the article inflections, changing suffixes. It is used only in cases, when the article is not used, else it remains in its nominative form. There are three versions of declensions for each gender, distinguishing between:

Adjectives

Adjective suffixes are tied to the presence of the article (or lack there of) and the gender of the noun the adjective is tied to.

Pronouns

TBA

Combinations of words

Articles, adjectives and nouns effect each other in cases, depending on which are present.

Color coding for word combinations for the purposes of the following sections:

  • Nominative case
  • Genitive case
  • Dative case
  • Accusative case

The examples use the words Man and Junk, but this rules apply to any adjective or noun, regardless of gender. The pronouns and articles are mutually exclusive and work in the same way. The example includes the pronoun Kain.
