I'm running a bit up against a wall with the romanisation of a new thing I've started (can you tell it takes inspiration from the Salish languages?) and I thought I'd give you all a shot. Basically, because of the sometimes horrifying clusters, I'm trying to avoid di- or trigraphs when possible. Any...

Copulae: The copula is extremely important in any sentence, and is inflected for tense, mood, person, and number. Moods are as follows, with the abbreviation, what tenses are allowed, and their inflected suffix: Indicative (i) P/R/F - ä Conditional (c) F - ök'ä Subjunctive (s) R - ykk'ö Historic (h...

Pronouns: The simple pronouns are a simple set of 9+1 (1, 2, 3, in s, d, p + 4) as follows: 1s miðä 1d milet 1p minät 2s ðötä 2d ðölet 2p ðötät 3s tömä 3d tölet 3p tömät 4 naj The relative pronouns have a three-way distinction for distance (proximal, medial, distal) and for number (singular, dual, ...

The phonology and Romanisation are heavily based on Finnish (with the obvious additions of q, w, b, g, f, þ, ð, and ł), but beyond that, it's not all that similar, especially in the verbal structures and lack of cases of any sort.

Nouns: Nouns are not declined for case, but are inflected for definiteness, number, and possession. Every noun is considered to be owned by something or someone, and so every noun shows its ownership. This is tempered slightly by a 'null ownership' which is used when a noun isn't possessed by anyth...

Asinen is something I've been working on on the bus for some time now, and while it's not the first conlang I've done, it'll be the earliest one to see the light of day (because the others were absolutely horrid). It's part of a group of languages I've recently started filling out more, although Asi...
