Kedusiyn Language

Kedusiyan (/keˈdujs/) is a Kedusian language of uncertain wider affiliation, preserved in liturgical and administrative registers and later extended into vernacular use. It has a compact (C)V(C)(C) syllable structure with predictable second-syllable stress and limited clustering. Its consonant inventory comprises stops /p b t d k/, affricates /t͡s d͡z t͡ʃ d͡ʒ/, fricatives /f v s z ɣ h/, nasals /m n/, liquids /l r/, approximants /j w/, and a phonemic glottal stop /ʔ/, alongside a stable five-vowel system /a e i o u/ without length or tone contrasts. ] Morphosyntactically, Kedusiyan is mildly agglutinative and predominantly prefixing, with three grammatical genders marked on nouns, analytic tense marking (past o-, future hi), basic SVO order with a dedicated S–V–IO–DO pattern, prepositional phrase structure, and limited agreement concentrated in pronouns and possessives.
