Morphological typology

Mundeze is an agglutinating language in the sense that it has invariable morphemes with a precise meaning, which can clump together in a regular way to a radical to create words. However, almost all morphemes have a meaning when they are isolated, so that it is almost possible to use Mundeze as an isolating language, if we consider the grammatical endings as part of the radical. “My son is growing up a lot” : mea ide gualtisi (mea ide ko-altisi, My son much-grows) = ide a me guo isi alta (Son of me much become tall)

Compound

In Mundeze, we can easily create new words by combining roots, using juxtaposition. The root is the part of a word that precedes the grammatical ending. For example, in buke (book) the root is buk-, and the -e is the grammatical ending that indicates a noun. Mundeze is a head-final language, which means that the complements precede its head. That applies to the words order at the sentence level, but also to word composition (for compound words using more than one lexeme).

Examples:

From anar.e (group) and of.e (work), we can create:

• anarofe (anar–of.e) = group work
• ofanare (of–anar.e) = working group

Anaptyxis

We can add an epenthetic (written) ‑O‑ or (unwritten) /ə/ – schwa – in the case of we cannot pronounce a consonant cluster (in particular due to a word compound), but the stress can never be on it. Examples: demokrate (democracy), sub/ə/bode (underground). The epenthesis is optional and therefore depends on the difficulty that the speaker will feel to pronounce fluently the combination of letters created by the fusion of root words.
