Prichinan (language)
Prichinan (Prichinan: prɪtʃinən, pronounced [prɪtʃinən]) is a language characterized by its concise grammar and use of the International_Phonetic_Alphabet as a base for its alphabet.

Alphabet
The Prichinan alphabet is based heavily off of the International_Phonetic_Alphabet, though there are several notable differences. There are a total of 33 letters, along with three accent marks. The following table provides a complete Prichinan alphabet, along with each letter's most common corresponding IPA value.

Differences from IPA
There are two Prichinan consonants and one vowel which have no distinction between voiced and voiceless pronunciation, thus making them allophones. χ is pronounced either /χ/ or /ʁ/. x is pronounced either /x/ or /ɣ/. The vowel a is pronounced /a/, /æ/, or occasionally /ɑ/. How the speaker chooses to pronounce these letters depends entirely on personal preference.

Accents
Prichinan has three accent marks: ʲ, ᵏ, and ~. For information on how and when they are used, see.

Nouns
Nouns in Prichinan are always preceded by an article, which specifies their case, number, and whether or not the noun is definite. This is accomplished through a highly flexible article declension system.

Declension
Noun articles are declined using a definition marker, the article's root, six cases (Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Prepositional, and Locative), and a plural marker. Note that in singular nouns, the genitive -v becomes -f.
