Zhendic (sta lenƣa Ƣendⱶca /sta leŋgɐ ʒɛːntkɐ/) is the most grammatically conservative Romance language in the Unbegotten timeline. It is characterized by
- preservation of Latin declension, including the distinction between nominative and oblique stems
- some weird Armenian-inspired sound changes, for example:
- duō > erƣu /ɛrgu/ '2'
(Inspired in part by Wenedyk, might change name)
Sketch
Jo sam sta ƣia, sta ƣierⱶtas et sta ƣita /jo sɐm stɐ ʒiɐ, stɐ ʒiːərtɐs ɛ stɐ ʒitɐ/ = I am the way, the truth and the life
Morphology
Nouns
Zhendic nouns decline in 4 cases: nominative, objective (used for direct objects and some prepositional objects), genitive and vocative. They fully retain the neuter gender and various declensions. Various 3rd declension nouns in particular now serve as model nouns.
It has definite articles (masculine ste, feminine sta, neuter stu) but no indefinite articles.
