==Grammar== | |||
Anglian grammar has evolved greatly from that of Latin, and is similar to that of [[w:Germanic_languages|Germanic languages]]. Anglian is a moderaly Synthetic language. [[w:adjective|Adjectives]] and some [[w:pronoun|pronouns]] are inflected for [[w:Grammatical_number|number]] (singular and plural); [[w:Noun|nouns]], [[w:personal_pronoun|personal pronouns]] and some pronouns are inflected for [[w:grammatical_person|person]], [[w:grammatical_gender|gender]], number and [[w:grammatical_case|case]]; and [[verb]]s, for [[grammatical tense|tense]], [[w:Grammatical_aspect|aspect]], [[w:grammatical_mood|mood]], and the person and number of their [[w:subject_(grammar)|subjects]]. Certain verb features are marked using [[w:auxiliary_verb|auxiliary verbs]]. | |||
===Nouns=== | |||
Anglian [[noun]]s have one of two genders (masculine or feminine) that must be learned together with the word, there ther are some patterns one could learn, which are | |||
*nouns ending in -a are masculine, unlike most other romance languages | |||
*nouns ending in -e are masculine, which come from Latin -nem | |||
They are inflected for two numbers (singular and plural) and for case (nominative and genitive). | |||
A regular Brittainese noun belongs to one of two main declensions, a group of nouns with similar inflected forms. The declensions are identified by the oblique singular form of the noun. | |||
====First declension==== | |||
The '''first declension''' is the largest of the declensions and the most productive, and contains many irregularities and subgroups. It contains all masculine nouns. It is descended from the Vulgar Latin second declension. | |||
