Ašča
Modern Attic (Ασκη γλασατι Ašča glasať /aʃtʃa glasac/ 'the Attic language' or Aščať 'the Attic one') is a Hellenic language aesthetically inspired by Slavic languages and Romani. It has been heavily influenced by Ilithian vernaculars.
It is spoken near the Black Sea in Verse:Unbegotten. It forms a continuum with Elicá which is spoken all over in Eastern Europe.

Nouns (Ουσιαστκοί Usiastký)
The definite suffixes come from a cliticized ἐκεῖνος 'that'.
Possessive suffixes are for the most part added directly to the noun. The resulting forms are implied to be definite.
- nom. sg.: μάχημου, μάχησου, μάχητου, μάχητει, μάχημω, μάχηξω, μάχητω máčhamu, máčhasu, máčhatu, máčhati, máčhamo, máčhašo, máčhato 'my war (nom), thy war (nom), ...'
- gen. sg.: máčhimu, máčhisu, etc.
- A -ρ -r on a stressed case ending is dropped, but turns to -σ -s before suffixes beginning with τ-. For example: ιατρόρ jatrór = a doctor; ιατρόμου jatrómu = my doctor; ιατρόστου jatróstu 'his doctor'.
Possession by nouns must be double-marked. The possessed noun must take the gender-appropriate possessive suffix. (This is a result of reanalysis of the older genitive definite article του, της, των between the noun and the possessor as a possessive affix.)
- ιατρόστου Ιάνιου jatróstu Jaňu 'John's doctor'
- ιατρόστει Αγάθηι jatrósti Agáťhe 'Agatha's doctor'
- ιατρόστω αθλητώνω jatrósto athľatóno 'the athletes' doctor'
In case of third-from-last stress, the stress shifts to right before the possessive suffix when one is added:
- nom. sg.: ράλεγα ráľega 'throat' > ραλεγάμου raľegámu 'my throat'

- παιδεύει pežúji = 3sg teaches; ουπαιδεύει upežúji = 3sg does not teach
- αγαπάει agapáji = 3sg loves; ουκαγαπάει ukagapáji = 3sg does not love
- εισάγει isádži = it imports; ουκειάγει učisádži = it does not import
