About Adenish Language
Adenish (my pronunciation: /ˈeɪ̯.də.nɪʃ/) is a Southwestern Iyzn language and the official language of Adenia (officially known as the Republic of Aden). It is considered the lingua franca of its surrounding area, including North Hachzhe and West Bakar, accounting up to 36 million native and 47 million L1-L2 speakers.

The core grammar of Adenish uses a total of 18 noun cases and up to 156 verb conjugations. The language only has a definite affix, lacking an indefinite counterpart. Pronouns have three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), and nouns have 2 (singular, plural). The language is very agglutinative, meaning extra nouns and affixes can be added to the root word to output a more specific meaning, making very long words such as Φυκημϟτυερηθγωιϥερηνῥηϣημλεγνγαδϥηλϥεροιηρ (Nor without these government agendas from the officials committee of yours).

The language is written with two writing systems.
The first, used by Earth Adens, is a hybrid of the Greek and Coptic alphabet. There are 32 characters, excluding their minuscule counterparts: 23 Greek, 7 Coptic, and 2 ancient Greek. The name of this script is Αϥδεζα Ϩεληνκειμηα [Avdeza Helinkeymia], literally "Greek-Coptic Alphabet".
The second, and original, is the Niaukel Alphabet Αϥδεζα Νηαυκελα [Avdeza Niaukela].

The language can also produce 50 distinct phonemes: 25 consonants, 11 vowels, 9 diphthongs, 4 semi-vowels, and 1 blend.

The majority of Adenish vocabulary are rough borrowings from real-world languages, mostly Arabic, Hebrew, and Spanish.
