This is a tribute to [[Minhast]], by [[User:Anyar|Chris Borillo]]: a Minhastid of sorts. | This is a tribute to [[Minhast]], by [[User:Anyar|Chris Borillo]]: a Minhastid of sorts, nicknamed Crane Speaker Dialect (CSD), a lost branch of the Upper Minhast group of the Historical Regional Dialects of Minhast. It is spoken in a secluded cluster of settlements in one of the Ryu Kyu Islands by some 700 people, originally fishermen and workers who had left Minhay for Japan but ended up fleeing for the Ryu Kyus to avoind getting involved in the happenings of WWI. About 37% of the CSD speakers are monolingual, 60% are CSD-Uchinaaguchi bilinguals and 3% speak CSD, Uchinaaguchi and also Japanese. | ||

Typologically, Minhast is an ergative, polysynthetic language. Verbal morphology is highly aggluginative and performs noun incorporation and other complex valence operations. Unmarked word order is SOV. Ergativity surfaces both at the morphologic and syntactic levels. Both its ergative and polysynthetic characteristics have generated much academic research in comparative and theoretical linguistics. | Typologically, Minhast is an ergative, polysynthetic language.
