About Rugezarin
Rugezarin (rugezar) is spoken in a region of a conworld that takes its inspiration from Carolingian France, only more fractured—the kind of standard fantasy backwater where heads roll frequently and slumbering Dark Lords lurk in mountain caves.
It's a synthetic, accusative language, with OSV order. Some of its more interesting features are:
- nominative and accusative forms are identical except in the definite article
- nominal possession expressed using a possessed case, with the possessor being marked with the case the possessee would ordinarily have
- number marked on verbs and adjectives only—pronouns and nouns lack it
