-'''Häskä''' /hæskæ/ is a [[Lakovic languages|Lakovic]] language with an Amharic-inspired aesthetic. Modern Häskä is [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]'s lingua franca, and is official in the [[Verse:Tricin/USB|USB]], [[Verse:Tricin/Tumhan|Tumhan]] and Fyxoom.

 ===Vowels===
-'''a e i o u ä ə ü''' /ɑ e i o u æ ə ʉ/
+'''a e i o u ä ə''' /ɑ e i o u æ ə/
-in modern Häskä: ä-e merger in Bjeheondian Häskä, ä-a merger in Fyxoomian Häskä
+===Stress===
+Stress is usually penultimate.
+===Phonotactics===
+Häskä allows initial clusters, like [[Windermere]] and [[Tsrovesh]].
 ==Morphology==
+Häskä morphology is roughly equally prefixing and suffixing.
 ===Nouns===
-Häska nouns are either masculine or feminine. The feminine marker is ''-s'' or ''-əs''.
+Häskä nouns have a natural gender system. Nouns denoting females or that end in the feminine suffix ''-o'' (after C) or ''-s'' (after V) are feminine. Inanimate nouns, and animals that are not dedicated words for males and females, can be used in both genders interchangeably.

+====Plurals====
+Unusually for a Lakovic language, plurals are formed with a suffix ''-k'' or ''-äk'':
+*''sumät'' /sumæt/ = wind
+**''sumätäk'' /sumætæk/ = winds
+If the word is treated as feminine:
+*''sumäto'' /sumæto/ = wind
+**''sumätok'' /sumætok/ = winds
-Modern Häskä number markers:
+====Case markers====
-*''sä'' = singular
+Here are the basic case markers:
-*''ta'' = plural
-*''hän'' = collective
+*''id, i'' = nominative
+*''u'' = accusative
+*''kə'' = genitive
+*''mi'' = locative
+*''žə'' = "like"
+===Pronouns===
+*''ri'' = I
+*''šen'' = thou (m)
+*''šes'' = thou (f)
+*''fin'' = he
+*''fis'' = she
+*''bäñ'' = we two (inc.)
+*''nə-ri'' etc. = plural pronouns
 ===Verbs===
 Häskä verbs are highly inflected; they inflect for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and gender agreement.
+Verb template: negative-gender/mood-tense/aspect-{{angbr|voice}}ROOT-pluractional
+Verbs are negated with ''di-''.
 ===Derivational morphology===
 *yə- = adjectivizer
