Indo-European

Ilithian (jľoudhišká dažvá) is a classical language in Russia and Central Asia in Verse:Unbegotten. It is inspired by Czech, Sanskrit and Proto-Celtic. It is close to both Greek and Indo-Iranian but shares many features with Balto-Slavic.
gájati = to sing
vrýž = king
Jsužen = name cognate to Eugene, Owen

Liquid | l /l/, r /r/ | ř /(Czech ř)/ | ľ, li /ʎ/ |
Consonants: identical to Czech (add ľ bh dh džh ďh, but h < gh), but j = [ʝ~ç]
d dh t n l + i í pronounced as if written ď ďh ť ň ľ + i í; ý is non-palatalizing í
Vowels: a e i u á é í/ý ú ů ej ou áj áu, acute = long vowel (u, ú, ů, ou, áu = ɯ, ɯː, uː, ɔw, aːw), l ĺ r ŕ = syllabic liquids
PIE oey, ōy > ej
Pitch accent: Proto-Slavic style?
Palatals come from iotation or k g before e i (like PSlavic)
initial e- > je-
ē, eh1 > ý, iH > í
all é > ý in the "Prakrit", ý from older long e causes "second palatalization", ý from Ilithian é causes "third palatalization"
mýs, mýnes- 'month'
ja > je?
Nouns
Literary Ilithian nouns and adjectives are extremely conservative in that they retain all 8 PIE cases and the dual number (like Sanskrit). However, a lot of analogical leveling between noun paradigms has taken place.

Syntax
Ilithian has unmarked order SOV: 'The woman sings the song' is Džená gájma gájet. (Using gájma 'song' as an object of gájeti 'to sing' implies specificity. 'Sings a (nonspecific) song' would simply be gájet.)
Ilithian is topic-prominent, so the topic comes first:
- Džená gájma gájet = Onna wa uta wo utau
- Gájma gájet džená = Uta wa onna ga utau
- Žmenou dvů jstou = Hito wa futari ga iru (Of humans, there are two)
- Tam švů jest = Kare wa inu ga iru
The -č or -eč Wackernagel clitic ('and' in Classical Ilithian) becomes an explicit topic particle in later forms of Ilithian.
