About Sayethic
SAAJADHË
Phonologically and orthographically similar to
Saayish, with some similar words, but a completely different grammar (I believe the word is polysynthetic but idk how to linguistics) - essentially took Saayish and blended it with Finnish and Classical Nāhuatl. It is coöfficial with Saayish in the 
Kingdom Of Saay (An Dösaajmolë Atsannajase), and the language is regulated by the Sayethic Council (Atsaceelë Saajadhëcana (sister to the Saayish equivalent, Saayis Cali).

- 16 noun classes; their respective prefixes also show number
- 3 numbers: singular, plural, and a "natural" number (the default number of a noun, which reflects its natural occuring number, eg. a pair of eyes, a forest of trees, a village of people, etc.
- 14 noun cases (depending on the nature of the noun, unmarked is either nominative or accusative, and the suffix -ca is the other one)
- no adjectives! Either use an essive or a passive construction, both in the subjunctive
- 4 persons
- verbs have too many suffixes
- verbs are prefixed for subject and object, and in the 3rd and 4th persons also for the class of the subject/object (the object prefixes are used for the subject in a passive construction)
