Greetings!
Classical-Botiq is a work in progress project, a daughter language of
Early-Botiq.
Basic word order is VSO, but animate object preceeds inanimate subject. In this case we use case marking and passive voice.
Saexin sig dogoviž.
I am washing the clothes.
Saexinev ter vüdž sig didüagem.
The rain washes my face.
Subject and object are both marked on the verb. Some word initial and word final consonants might change depending on the affix.
Ribiv
To serve
Säibiv.
I serve (it).
Sänoibiv.
I serve you.
Sooibiv.
I serve him/her.
CSB uses a complex system of auxiliaries to mark different moods, and tenses. Sometimes the same word expresses a different tense/mood.
Sasir sig divnii.
I am going to the city
Sasir tisi sig divnii.
I want/would like to go to the city
Sasiüüz tisi sig divnii.
I will go to the city.
Instead of a word like "have", Classical-Botiq uses existential possession.
šlür siidž ee xidüüem.
I have a cow./There is a cow to me.
