Welcome to the Tihrkyxian language!
Tihrkyxian (known natively as Tihrkyxommskiht, "language of the people of Tihrkyx"), is an a priori language and will probably be used in a fantasy book idk.
Notations
▪ Verbs are in need of a pronoun, and the objects that we talk about in a verb are written between the "verb root" (skiht, "speak a language", for example) and the particle (ov).
▪ In a question, the pronoun goes after the whole verb (satellite included), for example: "okhke nehdh il ov" ("who you are") and "okhke il ov nehdh?" ("who are you?"). The sentence order is VOS in questions.
Linguistic Typology
Tihrkyxian is a non-pro-drop SVO language: adverb-subject--verb(-direct object/indirect object)-particle-atribute (as in "nhe ent kerv ekkehnt ov" (I don't know anything [particle])), but a VOS language in questions.
