Fampónd, the language of the hidden peopleWell, they are hidden people. However, if you watch them carefully, you won't see them eat, at least not during the day. Click here for the vampire site. PhonologyThe letters, with clarification in X-Sampa(?): l, r, y, w, m, n, þ /T/, ð /D/, z /Z/, sh /S/, s, v, f, j /dZ/, ch /tS/, p, b, c, g, t, d (21 vowels). A /a/ as in tall, John Á /A/ as in ale, bane E /E/ as in eleven, spend I /i/ as in lean, seed Í /aj/ as in fine, sigh O /u/ as in fool, Luke Ó /o/ as in bone, coal U /@/ as in dove, nut The syllabic style is (C) (L) V (L) (C), where L is not a stop or an affricate. The first syllable in a word requires (C) L V (L) (C). GrammarFampónd uses an OVS word order for most sentences. Questions are in the form of VSO. Verbs have tense conjugations and separate person/number conjugations. Nouns inflect rather than agglutinate. There are four cases: nominative, dative, genetive, locative, and possessive.
