==General information==
{{PAGENAME}} is a Germanic language of the Evonen language branch. It is based on the General American dialect of English and the Grammar of Old English, Old Norse and German. Some elements, mostly the wordstock, are slightly A-priori or influenced by Japanese, Irish, Russian, and Latin. It is similar to Middle Evonish, however the two languages split on 25 May 2012 and will probably differentiate more over time. The objective of Evonish is to preserve a old inflections and words of Germanic languages as well as eliminate the need for interpretation by context.

This could be classified as grammar, but for the sake of evening out space, it will be here.
The standard written word order is different for different sentence types. Spoken language is typically less predictable.

===Personal===
{{PAGENAME}} personal pronouns feature a combination of the Germanic t-stem, h-stem, i-stem, and s-stem in third person. Suppletion between accusative and dative cases in first and second plurals occurred from originally distinct dual and plural pronouns, hence there are the Cs in the accusative of first and second person plurals. Fourth person is the other stuff.

Nouns in Evonish are declined to indicate their grammatical role in the sentence. Their conjugation depends upon case, gender, and number. Gender is a special factor in Evonish; a word does not determine a gender, rather a selected gender determines a different word. For example, a stone in common gender may be an igneous rock while a stone in neuter may be a sedimentary rock. Possessive and genitive ''are'' not considered distinct cases. The plural genitive ending is used in compound words much like kennings in the Old English and Old Norse languages.
