About South-Eastern Myshyn
South-Eastern Myshyn, also seldom called Taiga Myshyn, is a decent of a group of eastern dialects of the
Northern Myshyn language. South-Eastern Myshyn is closely related to
Western Myshyn.
A notable feature of all Bylkjan-tvænë languages, is their abundance of words for natural phenomena and things. For example, the languages naturally distinguish three shades/hues of colours, saltiness of water and hardness of snow. South-Eastern Myshyn is also the first Bylkjan-tvænë language to fully utilise volitionality and resultativeness in its grammar.
Short summary:
* No adjectives, instead stative verbs, and attributive and ornative cases
* Ergative-absolutive alignment with savoury flavour and spice:
-> Volitionality affects the case the subject takes
-> Resultativeness affects the case the object takes
* Horizontal and vertical postpositional cases
* Funny diphthongs?
* Abundance of words for things found in (Norwegian) nature
