Grimoskåld

Grimoskåld ("Song of the people"), is the primary language spoken by the Grimnå of Grimaföld.

## Phonology and Runes

The runes, in the order they appear in the image:

Aur, Ard, Ehast, Ennohal, In Irra, Osk, Orrn, Ulden, Usån, Ymri, Yslåg, Årt, ,Åsja Ävra, Öner, Ögras, Birk, Dorn, Fägra, Gyln, Hälm, Joirs, Kata, Lom, Mörsa, Nurn, Paur, Rana, Särska, Tåve, Vaan, Ainge, Årda, Erl, Sarn, Kjärt, Yrs, Kjyn, Sjåkj.

Grịmoskåld has a large selections of vowels at 9. Each vowel, except Ä, has a greater and a lesser version, effectively doubling the amount of vowel phonemes to 17. It also has 19 consonants. One feature that distinguishes Grịmoskåld is its use of a pitch accent.

### Consonants

Bellow, the Grịmoskåld consonant phonemes are shown. While more than 19, all of them don't have their own runes.

Word order generally follows English (Subject - Verb - Object) but differs when the sentence begins with something other than the Subject (Object/Adverb - Main verb - Subject - Participle/Infinitive) Example: Å möriå gala sin Gälmafjerd - Tomorrow going I’m to Gälmafjerd.

Another exception is when a sentence begins with a subordinate clause. The independent clause will then have its verb and subject inverted. Example: Sjå sin råa lio, såki sin å Gälmafjerd - When I was young, lived I in Gälmafjerd.

Furthermore, adverbs that modify the entire sentence come before the verb in subordinate clauses, whereas they normally occur after the verb in regular sentences.

When putting two words together (Grim + skåld = grimoskåld) put an o in between if the last word is a concept rather than a physical object (skåld = language). Put an a if the last word is physical (Gälmafjerd = Large (gälm) + estuary (fjerd)). If the resulting word is in any way divine, put an e (Våneting = Vån (moon) + ting (meeting)).
