The ''a priori'' constructed language Czecklish is heavily influenced by the West Slavic and Romance language families. Concerning phonology and phonological constraints, the greatest influence comes from Czech, Polish and Italian. Its morphology, however, is very non-Indo-European. Czecklish is an agglunitative, polysynthetic and noun-incorporating language. As such, it's verb conjugation and noun declension is very complex and difficult. An interesting aspect of Czecklish morphology is that it utilizes polyexponential formatives to encode multiple grammatical categories. That is to say, one bound morpheme (smallest unit of meaning) can be used to express different grammatical categories simultaneously. Czecklish is also unusual in that adjectives and adverbs are completely absent, being replaced with auxiliary participles and attibutive verbs. | |||
