Writing System

The Osilorarin writing system started with Orisolan marking stuff down by carving into the soft bark of the trees, and particularly the ______ tree.
There are two forms, the Traditional syllabic form, and the simplified alphabet. Traditional is a slyablry, simplified is an alphabet. Simplified conveys tone with marks below syllables with a pitch accent, and words written from left to right, with spaces separating words.
Words are each their own line, which are read bottom to top, left to right.

Phonology

Syllabic Structure

Morphology

There are noun classes, 4: masc/plants, fem/animals, neut/fish/birds, inanimate/nonliving/other/unknown gender/no gender yet and 6 suffixes -en, -an, -ed, -or, -se, -ni that can go on nouns so far
if an ending requires a continent to be inserted between two vowels, the glottal stop is inserted.

Tone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_accent - the tone The language is di-tonal (high and low) So the variations are Low, High, Low to High, High to Low.

Stress (?)

??? if so make sure to look at what pitch accent does to stress

Class

There are 8 cases (see Syntax), specifically: Genitive, Adessive, Superessive, Inessive, Nominative, Accusative, Dative, and Instrumental. Combined with the 4 noun classes, this makes about 32 different suffixes for nouns, shown below. If a stem ends with a vowel, the glottal stop, /ʔ/ is inserted in between the stem and the ending.

	Class 1	Class 2	Class 3	Class 4
Nomative	/-or/	/-ɛn/	/-ad/	/-kɵ/
Accusative	/-oɹ/	/-ɛd/	/-aɢ/	/-tɵ/

Gramatical Number

The grammatical numbers are:

• singular
• two /duple

• mass

	Class 1	Class 2	Class 3	Class 4
Single	/ip-/	/ip-/	/iɹ-/	/is-/
