About Petpena
Petpena is what people spoke in Vezaria before 1926, when it was replaced by Vezarish. Petpena is still spoken by a large number of people, over one-third of the population to be exact, who wished to keep their native language alive.
- Similar word order rules as Vezarish
- Determiners are affixes now
- Actually more than one noun case, a rarity among my langs
- There used to be a conscript but I deleted it because sucked
- Name of language literally means "we speak"
I'm currently working on a document outlining all there is to Petpena grammar so it's not as confusing.
Former name of lang was Pahkoje before dictionary overhaul.
