Dependent possesive pronouns come after the gender marking, and before plural/case markers. In the latter case, some have allomorphs from the nom.abs.sing form. Example: Juētl "Spear" (neut) 1P sing: Juētlañēo 1P plr: Juētlamīuc 2P sing: Juētlitza 2P plr: Juētlitzī 3P sing masc-fem: Juētlōij 3P sing...

Gender-marked nouns are nouns that are explicitly marked for gender. They cannot be in the paucal. Take the root Lāhcʿuēz "Adult Sheep". It must be marked for gender like so: Lāhcʿuēzatāḷ "Ram" Lāhcʿuēzōciuh "Ewe" Lāhcʿuēzīxeṭẓʿ "Mutton; slain sheep" However, these full markers are only used for the...

This is the language of the Old Momṭẓʿālemeōm Empire, which, though it has died out as a vernacular, is used as the official court language of the (current) Cuātlicañ Dynasty of the New Momṭẓʿālemeōm Empire, who rule west of the Maill Confederation, and to the southwest of Fuhe (Though mostly sepera...

Verbs are unmarked for tense, but certain particles that I will call preverbs are put in front of verbs to mark aspect and mood. Post-verbal adverbs are placed after the verb. The verb unmarked by a preverb is assumed to be in the perfective. In a whole phrase, an unmarked verb of motion is placed f...

Polite pronouns are circumlocations used to refer to people deictically. They are treated as nouns phrases, and not as pronouns. When speaking to a superior, 1st Person, is Zɛ̀ nheang "This person" It may made even more polite by using the phrase Śɔïm nheang ša̋il ba̋ük "That person's servant". 2P w...

I was asking because I took Sal to be saying (sorry if I'm wrong) that since it's so extreme and implausible, it must reflect your values. I was skeptical, thinking that if you believe it to be plausible, it doesn't necessarily reflect your values, and since I'm giving you the common courtesy of not...

Raping children,

Do they have a concept of statutory rape? Or no sex between pre-pubescent people and pubescent people?

The pronouns are unusual, as they have a unique nominative form, and a form for non-nominative. The non-nominative form is used for possesives, followed by Ša̋il. Focus is marked by the unique particle Wàr. Nominative forms: 1P sing: Nhwóa 1P plr Nhwóameïr 2P sing Nèü 2P plr: Nèümeïr 3P sing: Kwhì 3...

Verbs have three synthetic Tense-aspects: Non-Past, Plain Past, and Past perfect. Conjugation of regular verb "Sógaŕ "To hold" Non-Past: 1P singular: Sógaŕybh 1P plr: Sógaŕabhá 2P sing: Sógaŕyth 2P plr: Sógaŕathá 3P sing prox: Sógaŕ 3P plr prox: Sógaŕyu 3P sing masc obv: Sógaŕis 3p plr obv: Sógaŕyun...

Adjectives decline like nouns, though they have pretty regular forms for oblique and genitive: Umlaut, Umalaut plus palatazation if it ends in a non-palatalized coronal, e>ei, é>éi, and suffix -i in the singular if the last vowel is i, but if these vowels are followed by non-palatalized coronal, onl...

Pronouns come in four cases: Nominative, Accusative, Oblique and Genitive. On the 3P singular, Masc and Fem are distinguished, as are proximate and obviate on all 3P pronouns. Nominative: 1P singular: My 1P plr: Mán 2P sing: Ty 2P plr: Tán 3P sing masc prox: Y 3P sing fem prox: Hy 3P plr prox: Ywn 3...

If a language has case-marking (eg through suppletive pronouns), then it is not purely analytic. Of course, there's no reason a language has to be 'purely' anything. I never said that it was supposed to be purely isolating/analytic. In fact, I want it a bit less isolating/analytic then most Sinitic...

Is it possible to have independent prox-obv pronouns? If so, could possessive pronouns be unmarked for obviation? Can a language have prox-obv on top of a gender distinction?

In the genitive phrase, only the genitive takes an article, which is applied to the whole phrase. Using the word Táŕŕobh, which means "a patrilineal line that has political power" which I will transalate as "clan": Śe dTáŕŕoibh dymáry "The clan's swords" Sa dTáŕŕoibh pyll "The clan's hill" However, ...

Nouns: Nouns come in two genders: Masculine and Feminine, though this only applies for adjectival concord. There are two pluralazation forms in the nominative: Suffix -y and suffix -(a)ná. All vowel-final nouns use -ná, though a great minority consonant final stems use -aná. There are three cases: N...

Maillys is a restart from scratch of the idea of a Celtic-inspired language spoken near Fuheko. In the old version of the World of Fuhe, there were two such languages, both using the Fuheko method of mixing two languages: M'aillys (the namesake of this language) which was Welsh+Russian, and NĆaulaos...
