Fortunatian is a Romance language, with Etruscan and Guanche substrates, spoken in the Fortunate Islands (our world's Canary Islands) in the Fortunate Islands Universe. This is a description of Classical Fortunatian (fl. 12c ACE).
Phonology
The Fortunatian alphabet has 20 letters. There are also four digraphs which are not considered part of the alphabet, but probably should be.
a [a]
b [b]
c [k] before /a/, /o/, /u/, /y/
d [d]
e [e, ɛ]
g [ʤ]
f [f]
h [etymological, or diaeresis marker]
i [i], [j] before another vowel
m [m]
n [n]
o [ə]
p [p]
qu [k] before /e/, /i/
r [r]
s [s]
t [t]
u [u]
x [ʃ]
y [ɨ]
Non-Alphabetic Digraphs
au [o]
ch [ʧ]
hu [w] - this can (rarely) occur before a consonant
nh [ɲ]
Gender and Number
Fortunatian has no declension, but three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter) and two numbers (singular and plural). Note that the Classical Latin third declension has merged with the neuter of the second declension. Nouns and adjectives use the same ending. The root bon- "good" may be used to show the pattern.
xorbync bonync a good servant
huemnonc bononc a good woman
omnoc bonoc a good man (yes, 'man' is neuter)
xorbaux bonaux good servants
huemnax bonax good women
omnex bonex good men
Etruscan-Derived Vocabulary
Most of the Etruscan derived vocabulary was borrowed by the early Christian and transformed into Christian sacramental vocabulary.
