Orta Kişiçe
Orta Kişiçe is a common standard language of Turkic family. Orta Kişiçe is a null-subject language, has 2-way vowel harmony, extensive agglutination by means of suffixes and postpositions, subject-object-verb word order, and lack of grammatical articles, noun classes, and grammatical gender. Most vocabulary of Orta Kişiçe consists of words of native origin, coming from Proto-Turkic ancestor and early borrowings. Phrases and figures of speech are the ultimate combination and collection from all Turkic languages.

The language has a special table of roots which have all possible combinations of syllables of initials (the letters which can start a word, like vowels, b, ç, s, t, k, etc.) and finals (syllables that can end the root and be the root by themselves like -em, -eb, -ap, -ab, -irk, -ot, -öt, -eŋ). Root is a short one or two syllables, standing for a meaning of essential and important words for Turks from ancient. Using suffixes of four types roots can be modified and derived into: nominals, verbs, adjuncts, interjections. Using these four types of suffixes, roots can be not only modified, but derived to form new meanings, by gluing new ones.

An elements order of a nominal: root + denominal or deverbal derivational suffixes + number + antonymy and parallelism + case + converter -g4 or -k4

An elements order of a verb: root + denominal or deverbal derivational suffixes + category of voice + negation + verb form

Vowels
The vowels of the Orta Kişiçe language are, in their alphabetical order: The Orta Kişiçe vowel system can be considered as being three-dimensional, where vowels are characterised by how and where they are articulated focusing on three key features: front and back, rounded and unrounded and vowel height. Vowels are classified [±back], [±round] and [±high].

Vowel harmony
The principle of vowel harmony, which permeates Turkish word-formation and suffixation, is due to the natural human tendency towards economy of muscular effort. This principle is expressed in Turkish through three rules:


 * 1) If the first vowel of a word is a back vowel, any subsequent vowel is also a back vowel; if the first is a front vowel, any subsequent vowel is also a front vowel.
 * 2) If the first vowel is unrounded, so too are subsequent vowels.
 * 3) If the first vowel is rounded, subsequent vowels are either rounded and close or unrounded and open.

The second and third rules minimize muscular effort during speech. More specifically, they are related to the phenomenon of labial assimilation: if the lips are rounded (a process that requires muscular effort) for the first vowel they may stay rounded for subsequent vowels. If they are unrounded for the first vowel, the speaker does not make the additional muscular effort to round them subsequently.

Grammatical affixes have "a chameleon-like quality", and obey one of the following patterns of vowel harmony:


 * twofold (-e/-a): the locative case suffix, for example, is -de after front vowels and -da after back vowels. The notation -d2 is a convenient shorthand for this pattern.
 * fourfold (-i/-ı/-ü/-u): the genitive case suffix, for example, is -niŋ or -nıŋ after unrounded vowels (front or back respectively); and -nüŋ or -nuŋ after the corresponding rounded vowels. In this case, the shorthand notation -n4ŋ is used.

Principles of Orta Kişiçe

 * 1) Only standard SOV sentence pattern is used everywhere
 * 2) All words and vocabulary are of native roots and origin
 * 3) Loanwords if used are put in 'quotes', "double quotes" are used in direct speech
 * 4) All words are following vowel harmony
 * 5) Compound root words if used keep their original form and are separated by a dash, so they don't break rules of vowel harmony

Example
Atlarnı seberbe - I love horses

At(horse)lar(plural suffix - horses)nı(accusative case suffix) seb(to love)er(simple present tense suffix)be(personal ending suffix - I)

From this example we can see that pluaral form of a word is formed with -l2r (-lar/-ler) suffix, accusative case used to indicate that the word is an object - I(subject) love(verb) horses(object), -2r (for word containing only one syllable, like seber) / -4r(2 or more syllables, like yılıtır) / -r (if a word ends with a vowel, like közler coming from közle-) is used to form simple present tense, -be is personal ending meaning I. Orta Kişiçe is a null-subject language so you can drop Ben (I) from a sentence, but you can also use it meaning the same, like:

Ben atlarnı seberbe - I love horses
