About Rajevian
Rajevian or Қябпешаҳ юс Раҗевя /kʰiəbpəʃax us rad͡ʒəʋiə/ is the official language of Rajevia, spoken by about 460,000 people. It is a language isolate that descended from proto-Rajevian, originating from central-north-west Siberia where it is still spoken to this day. It is written using an adapted version of the Cyrillic script, using many symbols not normally found in other languages that use it in order to better reflect its unique phonology.
The language itself is an agglutinative language, has vowel harmony, and is very case-heavy in its nouns, with each noun having a total of 45 different declensions depending on case (abessive, ablative, accusative, allative, construct, comitative, dative, instrumental, locative, nominative, or proximative) and also whether the noun is singular, plural, and definite or indefinite.
Verbs are even more complex and each verb has 121 basic conjugations which may combine with each other in any way possible. The conjugations depend mainly on mood (no mood, abilitative, capability, conditional, debitive, dubitive, hortative, imperative, necessitative, optative, permissive and wanting), aspect (imperfective, perfective, habitual, progressive and prospective), with tenses being absent from the language altogether, and whether or not the verb is negative. An example of how these moods can combine would be хос қоқуйхушудупуҭуԏу "I could have not wanted to be allowed to be able to need to cook". Of course such a form is rarely, if ever, used. However it still exists in theory and makes perfect sense given the right context.
Thankfully all these forms combine in very easy to understand and predictable ways, with very little to no exceptions to the rules.
