Here comes the grand operation of messing around!

Since I, as the author, can only conceptually distinguish between voiced and voiceless sounds and between aspirated and unaspirated sounds, here, as always, this is regarded as a normal sound change.

There are three vowels: [a], [i], and [u]. Long and short vowels do not differentiate meaning, so they are not considered here. In addition, there are the semivowels [j] and [w].

Grammar

Noun

Good news, the base form of nouns and verbs is the same. Bad news, LangBox's declensions and conjugations have ruined everything.

Declensions of smk(smoke)
sin. pl.
Nominative samak samaks
Accusative sarmak sarmaks
Genitive samik samiks

Luckily, because I'm lazy, I just assume that even though all nouns are inflected, they're all regular.

Verb

Single Plural
Present yakrat yapak yakratur yapakur
Past caqrat capak caqratur capakur
Future yalakrat yalapak yalakratur yalapakur

Tense and aspect

The progressive tense of a verb is marked by adding the infix -j- after the first syllable. For example, the progressive tense of caqratur is cajqratur.

Adjective and Adverb

General adjectives are directly marked with the suffix ~ing on the nominative singular form of a noun, which is roughly equivalent to the English ~ful. For example, Samaking means smoky. There are also adjectives marked with ~ud, which is equivalent to the English ~able, such as Lawakud, which means visible.

Adverbs, on the other hand, are based on the accusative singular form of a noun. The adverb forms of the two examples above are Sarmaking and Larwakud.

Pronoun

Syntax

Conjunction

The usage of 「而」 in Classical Chinese is very diverse. In this language, there is a word similar in usage to 「而」: bud. It can indicate coordination(and), , progression(moreover), consequence(so), contrast(but), and even hypothesis(if).

You see, Classical Chinese is just that magical. As for what exactly bud means, please guess based on the context.
