Maghrebi Azalic (lit. [the language] of those who say đâu [for '2']) is an Azalic language. Like English, it descends from L-Old English. It is inspired by Vietnamese.
It is in the Ăn Yidiș-Cubrite sprachbund and its main post-proto-Azalic loan sources are Greek and Hebrew.
Add some Yiddish touch with syllabic resonants? buxtn 'garden'
Phonology
Orthography
Maghrebi Azalic is natively written in either the Hebrew alphabet or a Latin orthography based on the Lõisian Old English orthography.
Morphology
Pronouns
- conj. i, du/u, khê, si, it, gia, dul/ul, doi/oi
- disj. mi, du, khim, kher, it, eox, dul, dam
- poss. moi, ur, khex, kher, itx, eor, dux, dar
inflected prepositions
Nouns
Two cases (nominative and genitive), no gender
- Genitive singular is always -x or -ơx
- Plural is almost always nom. -i, gen. -xi
The definite article is invariably dơ. There is no indefinite article.
Umlaut, known in Lõis as affection, is used for some plurals: for example,
- mon 'man', mơn (gen. mơnx) 'men'.
Verbs
Only the imperative/infinitive survives in lexical verbs. There is also a passive participle in -ơd (only used as an adjective).
VSO syntax with the verbal noun form is often used in narratives.
Auxiliaries
Maghrebi Azalic has an auxiliary verb system similar to Colloquial Welsh. In addition, there is a T-V distinction: the 2nd person plural u is also used as a polite pronoun.
The choice of preposition before the lexical verb also controls the tense:
- Im ot het = I eat/I am eating (lit. I am at eating)
- Im pho het = I have eaten (lit. I am after eating)
