''' | '''Thensarian''' (''thēṃsaraquhanquhus/-milacus'', gen. ''-quhanquhasus/-milacī'', Rencadian: ''Thengsornkhwong'') is a classical Ramanuric language and one of two superstrate languages of [[Rencadian]]. It originates from Tālsim. It is inspired by Latin, Sanskrit, and Ancient Greek, and it is a parody of fantasy languages inspired by Latin and Greek, such as High Valyrian. | ||

* ''g c/k ch'' /g k k{{h}}/ | |||

== Orthography == | |||
Thensarian uses a variant of the Brahmi script. | |||
Brahmi breathy letters are used for ph th ch quh; qu quh written as kv ghv; x uses the kS ligature; t th d n l s uses T DH D N L S. | |||
== Morphology == | |||
IE clone; I'm not gonna work too hard on making Thensarian grammar original, as the purpose of Thensarian is just to be a loan source for Rencadian. | |||
Todo: research PIE ablaut | |||
=== Nouns === | |||
Usually, the nominative singular case markers are -us/-is/-us/-ys masc, -ā/-y/-ū fem, -uṃ/-iṃ/-uṃ/-yṃ neuter, -r/-ō collective. ''-rys'' is a suffix deriving names from ''-r'' nouns, reserved for the Thensarian nobility (sometimes ''-ry'' is used as a feminine counterpart of ''-rys''). | |||
''Jabṛvaciṃ vam{{cdb}}vṝpāx.'' = 'We shall slay the Jabberwocky.' | |||
=== Adjectives === | |||
''-ao'' forms adverbs | |||
=== Verbs === | |||
* Infinitive -lum: -alum, -ālum, -ylum, -ūlum, -y{{mac}}lum | |||
* Personal endings: 1sg -r, 2sg -t, 3sg -m, 1pl.ex, -ivy, 1pl.in -x, 2pl -phas, 3pl -phiam | |||
Verb stems mainly use reduplication and Sanskrit-style ablaut to mark tense. | |||
=== Reduplication sandbox === | |||
(Grassmann's law operates on reduplicants.) | |||
==== Inflectional ==== | |||
* Ca- reduplicant for the progressive aspect | |||
:: ''quhanix'' 'we speak'; ''quaquhanix'' 'we are speaking' | |||
* CalaC- reduplicant for the past tense | |||
:: ''qualaquhanix'' 'we spoke' | |||
* CanC- reduplicant for the irrealis | |||
:: ''quanquhānix'' 'we shall speak; let us speak' | |||
==== Derivational ==== | |||
* ''quhan-alum'' = to speak -> ''quhan<quh>us'' (s-stem neuter) = speech | |||
