NPBssä

NPBssä is a constructed language described in fan wikis and collective worldbuilding related to the fictional NPB Confederation. It serves as a regional and ceremonial language within that setting, while NPB's lingua franca remains separate.

Origins: The language arose from collaborative online projects in the 2010s, with contributors documenting phonology, grammar, and vocabulary. No single authority governs it; multiple community-driven grammars exist.

Linguistic features: NPBssä is primarily agglutinative and suffix-based, with a mostly SOV word order and postpositional marking. Nouns inflect for number and case; verbs encode aspect, mood, and tense through affixes. Adjectives follow nouns; possessors precede possessed nouns.

Phonology and script: The phoneme inventory includes voiceless stops p t k and a set of vowels with occasional vowel harmony rules in certain dialects of NPBssä. The standard writing system is Latin-based, incorporating diacritics such as ä; stress is typically on the penultimate syllable.

Usage and reception: In fiction and roleplay, NPBssä is used for official documents and ceremonial dialogue; dictionaries, grammars, and sample texts circulate within fan communities. It is not used as a natural language outside the fictional world.
