Anfadica

This will include info about my conlang: Anfadica [ˌɑnˈfɑːd̪ɪkʰɑ], along with a sample paragraph. It'll be edited as needed!

Anfadica is a language originating in the northernmost nation of Y'mang. From my understanding, it's either an abugida or closeish to an abugida?

Anfadica has a purely vertical script, read top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Its base glyphs represent a consonant sound + [ɑ] (e.g., bɑ, fɑ, vɑ, etc.). Vowel diacritics are added to the base glyph to change the vowel sound (e.g., bi, fo, ɑn, um, etc.).

Anfadican Script

Above is a pretty messy guide to the Anfadican script.

Script Rules

The side of the consonant that the vowel diacritic is on indicates whether the syllable is CV (consonant+vowel) or VC (vowel+consonant).

When a vowel is written without a connected consonant in the syllable, a "vowel holder" glyph is used to attach the vowel diacritic to.

If the syllable is VC, then no vowel termination diacritic is added.

Anfadica is a purely vertical script. Some attempts have been made to adapt it to horizontal writing, however these have not caught on.

In romanization, the macron over a vowel indicates that it's stressed/emphasized and/or lengthened. This pronunciation difference is not indicated in written Anfadica.

If “i” is followed by a “c” in the transcription, the [i] sound turns into a [ɪ] sound.

Word Order

Anfadica is generally a free worder order language as long as you are consistent, however the most common order is OSV, followed by SVO. Word order may be changed to add emphasis.
