-'''[[Brooding|Brooding]]''' is a language spoken in the land of Harken, purportedly created at the dawning of the Last Age by Clyde P. Riddlesbrood. Brooding was created by Scott L. Hamilton for the Riddlesbrood Touring Theater Company based on elements developed by the theater’s director Ryan Long. In the fall of 2014, development and curatorship of the language was assumed by [[User:Bpnjohnson|BenJamin P. Johnson]].
-The standard word order is subject-verb-object (SVO), somewhere in the middle of the synthetic-isolating scale, with obligatory V2 word order. The Brooding syllable is maximally CCVCC and minimally V.

-In addition to a latinisation, Brooding also uses a writing system comprised of two sets of characters: seeing characters and blind characters. Seeing characters form an alphabet, with each seeing character representing a Brooding sound. The blind characters are logograms used in various ways.

+The Pomorian language or Pamarėska gålba, język pomorski (in [[w:Polish language|Polish]]) is a [[w:Balto-Slavic languages|Balto-Slavic]] language spoken in the region of [[w:Pomerelia|Pomorze Wschodnie]] in Northern Poland from [[w:Gdynia|Gdynia]] city to the town of [[w:Braniewo|Braniewo]], mostly in rural areas. There are at least 20 000 speakers (including second-language speakers knowing the language on an elementary level), of which less than 4000 speak Pomorian natively. Most of the native speakers are at the age of 50 or above, while younger generation usually speaks Polish as their first language.
+Ablaut, still productive in Pomorian, was inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic period. It changes the morphological form of the word. For example ''"snė͂ge"'' (older ''snai͂ges'') means "snow", ''"snigtì"'' (older ''"snigteĩ"'') to snow ''"snẽdze"''(older ''"snegḗti"'') "it snows".
+There are seven (or six if count the sixth and the seventh as one) noun declensions in Pomorian. Nouns have seven cases: '''Nominative''', '''Genitive''', '''Dative''', '''Accusative''', '''Instrumental''', '''Locative''' and '''Vocative'''. In Pomorian Proper most nouns have only two numbers: '''singular''' and '''plural''', while in Western and Southern dialects there is also a '''dual''' number. An interesting feature is using nominative plural only for 3 or 4 items, making it effectively paucal, for example ''try/cetūri sūnave'' (three/four sons), but ''pęči sūnų'' (five sons) where genitive plural is used instead. However it is not viewed as a separate grammatical number.
+Unlike in other Balto-Slavic languages composition in Pomorian is a very productive way to form new words. The process occurs readily in Germanic languages. Along with affixation it is used to create words for describing new meanings and these newly-created words can be very long and thus used mostly in literature. Examples of both composition and affixation are shown in the table below:
