Grammar V.4 WIP


I was looking into Semitic languages and decided to make one for myself. Hadraic (mostly) is derived from Proto-Semitic. Since it's currently a work in progress, features will be added to this section and this section will be updated.

Hadraic in one sentence: Mosh of Arabic and Hebrew with Ge'ez grammatical influence and Egyptian\Greek\Syriac borrowings.

Some interesting things about Hadraic:
- Most of the vocabulary is derived from Proto-Semitic, with borrowings from Arabic and Egyptian sprinkled into the mix.
- No tense, instead mood is used to mark time (kind of).
- No grammatical gender, unlike most Semitic languages (it lost it).
- Two cases, nominative and oblique, as well as singular, dual, and plural numbers, which have different forms depending on case.
- Decently complex verb system.
- Adjectives distinguished between static (non-changing) adjectives, like colors, shapes, and size, and non-static adjectives, like emotion.
- Stupid spirantization and consonant cluster simplification that obscures roots. Fun!
