Kairian language

==Kairian Language==
The Kairian language, or Tohge'kairoyœ, is a language spoken across southeastern regions of Abexilas; originating from the Kairian people, an ethnic group coming from Eldham. Although, despite not being the language of a native group to Abexilas, it is a member of the Abusku language family, a language family native to Abexilas. This is because the Kairians have not always spoken this language. In the past (in Eldham), the Kairians had another language that is now lost, but when they arrived in Kejafros they adopted the dialects of the native peoples, thus forming a language derived from an Abusku language mixed with the ancient Kairian tongue. 
Today Kairian is spoken in a region of the Kingdom of Blomach, one of the several realms of the Empire of Ischanor. The use of the language is mainly in the area of ​​the old Archduchy of Marisvalor, with the exception of Jehanna.

===Grammar===
====Word order====
The Kairian language generally follows an SVO word order, although this changes depending on the type of sentence. For example, in interrogative sentences the order becomes VSO.
====Verbs and conjugation====
Kairian verbs always require a subject, meaning the subject cannot be omitted.
Kairian pronouns	Kairian pronouns	Kairian pronouns
 	Singular 	Plural
First person 	loa 	nyoa
Second person 	zoa 	vuzoa
Third person 	iya 	xiya
To derive the different verb tenses, only specific suffixes are added to indicate the verb tense. Kairian tenses come from ancient Kairian, so their use may differ from other Abusku languages.
Verb tense endings
Past tense 	-ie
Present tense	-a
Future Tense 	-üz
Imperative 	-(a)les
Conditional 	-(a)j
====Negation====
Any verb can be negated by adding the prefix "nyo-" at the verb. For instance the phrase "Loa nyopecie" would mean "I didn't talk", literally translating to "I not care did."
====Adjectives and comparatives====
Usually adjectives have an "-a" ending, but any word can be turned into an adjective with the suffix "-iea". For instance, the word nation is "axenza", while "axenzaiea" means national.
There is a system of comparative adjectives within Kairian. While the words for more ("xdela"), most ("sozla"), less ("muah"), and least ("müah") can be used, there are also suffixes and prefixes which can be added to adjectives to do this; which is far more common. These may also convey symbolic meanings at time.
 	Kairian 	Meaning 	Example 	Example sentence
Positive comparative suffixes	“-üa” or “-ce”	someway → more someway than	sezna → seznüa 	Loa nyeya bünehce zoa
"I'm better than you"
Negative comparative suffixes	"-xlus" 	someway → less someway than	sezna → seznaxlus 	Meyosœ zoadh nyeya pœtaxlus loadh
"Your house is smaller than mine"
Superlative suffix 	“-iedha" 	someway → Greatest someway 	sezna → seznaiedha	Loa nyeya bünehiedha uarioyœ
"I'm the best warrior"
Equality suffix 	"-aja" 	someway → as someway as 	sezna → seznaja 	Iza nyeyie vonaja babœ loadh
"She was as kind as my father was"
===Vocabulary===
====Word declination====
In Kairian there are no articles, since the words decline to give the information that an article would give. In Kairian there are only two cases, nominative (or nominative-accusative) and genitive (the accusative forms ended up deriving the same endings as the nominative). Furthermore, the genitive case is divided into two types; weak and strong. The only difference is that the weak genitive serves to indicate some type of general relationship between two nouns, while the strong genitive serves to indicate property relationships.
 	Singular	Plural	Weak genitive	Strong genitive
Definite 	-œ
(“the”)	-œz
(“the”)	-œdh 	-œch
Indefinite	-e
(“a, an”)	-ez
(“some”)	-edh 	-ech
====Pronouns====
Nominative 	Nominative	Nominative
 	Singular 	Plural
First person 	loa 	nyoa
Second person	zoa 	vuzoa
Third person 	iya 	xiya
Genitives 	Genitives	Genitives
 	Singular 	Plural
First person 	loadh 	nyoadh
Second person	zoadh 	vuzoadh
Third person 	eadh 	xeadh
====Numerals====
In order to write certain numerals, you combine numbers like in English. For instance, in order to say "two hundred" you would have to say "doien cente". In order to say "two hundred and ninety eight", you would have to say "doien cente üel nuech yokten". In this context, "üel" means "and".
Kairian numerals
1 	oien 	10 	tech
2 	doien 	20 	veich
3 	treien 	30 	treich
4 	kuatren	40 	kuach
5 	kinkuen	50 	fiech
6 	secen 	60 	zech
7 	sedhen 	70 	sepech
8 	yokten 	80 	yoech
9 	nokten 	90 	nuech
0 	zferon 	100 	cente
1000	miejle 	1000000	vlachijle
====Nationalities and ethnicities====
In order to make it into an adjective, i.e. someone from that country, you add the "-oie" (this ending is going to decline) suffix, although the country/ethnicity root may change a bit. For example, Ixanorie ("Ischanor") → Ixanoroie, Blomach → Blomachoie ("Blomachi"). Then, a similar system is used in Kairian for languages, based on the nationality, the prefix "tohge'-" is added. For example, Kairoie ("Kairian") → tohge'kairoie (kairian language), Bazkoie ("Baszku") → tohge'bazkoie ("Baszku language). Note: "Blomachi" can also be said "Blomacha" (with its respective declination endings).
