About Tuchuqfa
Tuchuqfa is a language spoken in and around the Kingdom of Toshkkayrg. It is a descendant of Old Wibbayuric and is related to Uyendur. Toshkkayrg having previously been economically dependent on the Naduta Kingdom before its downfall, the language has numerous loanwords from Naduta. It is written in a logosyllabic script descended from Naduta script. It is rather complex and unintuitive.
Tuchuqfa has:
- VSO word order
- a complex and irregular declension system
- masculine and feminine genders
- morphological tense, aspect, and mood, combined with periphrastic mood, as with other Wibbayuric languages
