 The core of the language is Germanic, comprising approximately 50% of the total base vocabulary. Words of Arabic and Turko-Arabic origins make up an additional 30% of vocabulary, mostly found in words related to topics of Religion, Law, Government and Education. Turkish loanwords add up to 10% of the lexicon, being mostly used in military, religious, and administrative terms. 5% of words, primarily related to some agricultural and labor terms, are derived from a South Slavic stock, mostly from Slovene and Serbo-Croatian origin. A percentage of Turkish loanwords are actually Persian loanwords, mostly related to fields such as medicine and science.
+====Gender====
+A curious feature of Austman has been the simplification of Old High German's gender system. Masculine and Neuter have collapsed into a single Masculine Gender.
+====Case====
+Austman has retained only three of the original 5 cases of Old High German, with accusative fusing with dative and instrumental, becoming the Oblique case.
+The List of Cases is:
+* Nominative Case, which is used to express the subject of a statement.
+* Oblique Case, which expresses the object of a verb.
+* Genitive Case, which expresses possession, measurement, or source.
