It's located somewhere between East and South Slavic languages, so it can have balkanisms but doesn't have to have all of them.
Linguistic features
- perfecive verbs differentiate tense by stressing, mostly
- a reduced tense system
Both!
That was just a typo, which is fixed now.
The IRL reason is that I wonder why there are so complex stressing patterns without a meaning component. So this language has it :)Zekoslav wrote: ↑06 Mar 2019 11:46 The distinction between the tenses based on stress is intriguing. May I ask where you found the inspiration for it so I can learn more about it (In my native Croatian there is a tendency (originally limited to certain verb classes only) for aorist 2/3 sg. to have initial accent in contrast to all other forms, and aorist is of course perfective. This might have been the starting point in whatever language you took this from, but I'm just guessing at this point)?
I actually disagree. For example for Uralic languages, it is very typical to have plenty of noun cases and still have zero-marked direct objects.gestaltist wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019 16:41 Do you plan on marking the direct object in another way then? Having nom=acc in the presence of other cases is really atypical. I could see the GEN-DAT extending to ACC easily, given Slavic case forms.
Romanian is one of my innovators in these Baltic features.
