Brusing/Middle
Brusing (Brūsingiska taga) is an Oselo-Bruso-Thedic language that emphasizes the non-Germanic aspects of the subbranch. It is inspired by Sanskrit and Old English.
Todo
- tāla (f) = sequence, row; a musical term

Athematics
Adjectives
Verbs
Unlike in Thedic languages, all verbs use the athematic endings in Brusing.
Verbs are negated by prefixing na-.
Verbs had five tenses: present, imperfect, aorist, perfect, and future.
The irrealis tenses are: subjunctive, optative, imperfective imperative, and aorist imperative.
Brusing also had a passive voice, inherited from PIE.
