About Grenzdem
Grenzdem is a language based heavily on German and Swedish. The language includes a special class of phonym called a ligature, these can be used to easily switch between tenses, this is a simple addition to make grammar a little easier to learn. There are no definite articles or indefinite articles, this is compensated for in the form of noun declensions. Each noun can carry a jöd stem, a jör stem, or a jöda stem. These stems determine what article the noun is refering to so Mänjöd means "the man".
