Trinidasiane

:For the script of Trinidasiane, see Vicnoridasiane.
Trinidasiane is a fictitious conlang first thought and devised by Rigel Sebastian. Contrarily, Trinidasiane is a polysnthetic and agglutinative Vicnoran language that is vastly spoken in the lands of Trinidasia, Suriname (as Trinido-Surinamese), the Antilles, and Cradem. It is recognised as a minority language in Cradem and Suriname, but as a national language in Trinidasia, and even Trinidad and Tobago. It is known to be one of the oldest languages still currently in use, dating back to 6th CE AD, with the modern form of the language being spoken since the 14th CE.

Notes
*The voiced palatal nasal (IPA: [ɲ]) is actually not in the English phonology. This consonant has it's own letter in the Spanish orthography which is the letter called eñe or ñ (ny).
*The voiced velar nasal, (IPA: [ŋ]) is pronounced as ng from the English word "ring".
*The dental plosive consonants (IPA: [t̪] and [d̪]) are pronounced the same as the English letters t and d, but the blade of the tounge placed at the upper teeth. The dental plosive consonants are openly used in the Trinidasiane language, meaning that the Trinidasiane-speaking people can use the plain consonants and/or the dental consonants as the letters t and d from the orthography of the Trinidasiane language.
*The post-alveolar plosive consonants (IPA: [t͡ʃ] and [d͡ʒ]) are actually in the English phonology. t͡ʃ is pronounced as ch from the English word "check" and d͡ʒ is pronounced as j from the English word "joy".
*The voiceless uvular plossive (IPA: [q]) is not in the English phonology. To pronounced this consonant, you need to press your uvula by your tounge as opposed to the soft palate.
*The glottal stop (IPA: [ʔ]) is not in the English phonology nor in the English orthography, but some English words have the consonant by different types of accent. ʔ is pronounced as the sound between the vowels from the exclamation word "uh-oh"
*The voiceless velar fricative (IPA: [x]) is pronounced as ch from the English word "loch" in a Scottish accent.
*The post-alveolar sibilant fricative consonants (IPA: [ʃ] and [ʒ]) are actually in the English phonology. ʃ is pronounced as sh from the English word "shoe" and ʒ is pronounced as s from the English word "leisure".
*The palatal approximant (IPA: [j]) is pronounced as y from the English word "yell".
*The ejectives are denoted with certain diacritics onto the aspirated form of their root phoneme.
*The voiceless palatal nasal and the voiceless velar nasal (IPA: [ɲ] and [ŋ]) are denoted with specific diacritics onto the central alveolar nasal (IPA: [n]).
===b. Vowels===
 	Front	Central	Back
High 	i 	 	u
Middle	e 	 	o
Low 	 	a 	
The 5 vowels of the Trinidasiane language originate from the basic 5-vowel system, which is a common vowel system that is seen to be used by most languages (including Spanish, Japanese, Swahili, Hebrew, etc.) regardless of their origins.
===c. Syllable Structure===
The syllable structure of the Trinidasiane language is (C)(C)(C)V(V)(C)(C)(C)(C)(C) or (C)3V(V)(C)5.
*The first onset (the red consonants) = s, z, ʃ
*The second onset (the orange consonants) = m, n, p, b, t, d, t͡ʃ ,d͡ʒ, k, g, q, ʒ, f, v, x, h
*The third onset (the yellow consonants) = l, r, ʔ, j, w, ʜ
*The nucleus (the green vowels) = a, e, i, o, u
*The first coda (the blue consonants) = m, n, ɲ, ŋ, j, w, l, r
*The second coda (the purple consonants) = s, z, ʃ
*The third coda (the pink consonants) = p, b, t, d, k, s
*The fourth coda (the brown consonants) = s, t, v, w
*The fifth coda (the black consonants) = v, w
:*Aspirated and ejective phonemes shall be considered to go along with their root phonemes.
===d. Phonotactic Rules===
Here are the phonotactic rules of the Trinidasiane language:
#The syllable structure of the language is (C)3V(V)(C)5.
#Glottal stops only occur between 2 same vowels.
#Stress are located on the first syllable.
#/x/, /h/, /ʔ/, /ʜ/, /w/, and /j/ never cluster.
==Grammar==
===a. Syntax===
*The language has a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. The object and the verb together form the predicate, which, along with the subject, are the 2 general constituents for sentences in Trinidasiane.
**However, most commonly, adjectives and adverb-verb allocations are present in the subject; thereby the entire subject becomes a subject-oriented component.
**Meanwhile, if in the predicate, the same happens with the object, the entire object becomes an object-oriented component. Also, if this same thing happens with the verb, the phrase formed is known as a verb-oriented component.
*The adjective(s) come before the noun until if they denote quantity, expression, color, or spectacularity.
**Sometimes, adjectives like some of expression or quantity tend to change their inflection into a verb, making them a pseudojective.
***This same familiar inflections also occur in Solomorssiane, which could prove Trinidisiane's intellectual mutual intelligibility with the language.
*For adpositions, they generally come after the noun (postpositions).
*The possessor comes before the possessee using 's and after the possessee using of.
*The auxiliary verb(s) come(s) before the main verb.
