User:Deoxy99/Ižkiwa

This language is a nominative-accusative language with no particular connections to any language. The alphabet consists of 5 vowels and 8 consonants.

It is designed so that the words can merely be modified to present a new meaning, such as the below will show:


 * The word for "person" in Ižkiwa is "kaw."


 * Adding an "-n" to the word would produce "kawn," which now has a new meaning, or "no one." It can also just mean "no people."


 * Adding an "-e" to the word would produce "kawe," or "man." This marker makes the word masculine.
 * Adding an "-a" to the word would produce "kawa," or "woman." This marker makes the word feminine.


 * Adding an "-iž" to the word would produce "kawiž," or "child." This is a diminutive marker. Adding the gender markers would also produce "kawiže" and "kawiža," or "boy" and "girl" respectively.


 * The word for "speak" is "kiwa."


 * Adding a "-ži" to the word would produce "kiwaži," or "speech." This is a marker that produces nouns from other forms of words, such as with the English word "grow" and its noun form, "growth."


 * Adding a "-žo" to the word would produce "kiwažo," or "spoken." This is a marker that produces adjectives from other forms of words, such as with the English word "break" and its adjectival form, "broken."


 * Adding a "-ža" to the word would produce "kiwaža," or "speaker." This is a marker that produces agent nouns from other forms of words, such as with the English word "snipe" and its agent noun form, "sniper."

Cases are specified as the following:


 * Nominative: -aǰ | In English, this would be the nominative case: The man-NOM threw the ball.
 * Accusative: -ež | In English, this would be the accusative case: The man threw the ball-ACC.
 * Dative: -eža | In English, this would be similar to the dative case: The man gave the ball to the boy-DAT.
 * Ablative: -žew | In English, this would be similar to the ablative case: The boy caught the ball thrown from the man-ABL.
 * Genitive: -ǰe | In English, this would be similar to the genitive case: It is now the boy's-GEN ball.

Therefore, using this knowledge, you can create complex sentences from just a few markers and words:

Kaweaǰ kawižeeža kiwa Ižkiwaež. (Kaw-e-aǰ kaw-iž-e-eža kiwa Iž-kiwa-ež)

The man is speaking Ižkiwa to the boy.

Lit: male-person-NOM small-male-person-DAT speak speak-word-ACC.

If the literal form was written in English, it would be "man to boy speak Ižkiwa," showing the apparent simplicity of the language.
