== Minhast Text ==
== Introduction ==


Ikkūne kuriktahan iħyitahammā,
Minhast is a polysynthetic language that exhibits polypersonal cross-indexing on the verb, noun incorporation, and valence operations affixes.  Its morphological alignment is Ergative-Absolutive, and canonical word order is SOV.  The reader is advised to go to the [[Minhast]] wiki for details on valence operations, applicatives, noun incorporation, and antipassivation.  Also helpful will be the discussions on the Connectives ''min'' and ''wa=''.  In this text be on the lookout for noun incorporation and any operation that manipulates the S/O pivot.
Duħtaniktaharu, ittaħyamekan,
Hakkumman.
