The '''Skyrdagor''' language (native name '''Skyrdegan gjalyn''' {{IPA|[ɧu͡ɯ˞deːɜ̯n ɟ͡ʝæ͡ɑɮɯn]}}) is the koiné language of ''Greater Skyrdagor'' ({{IPA|[ɧu͡ɯ˞dɒː˞]}}, in Sky.

'''Skyrdagor''' {{IPA|[ɧu͡ɯ˞dɒː˞]}} proper is an archipelago nation, made up of the islands in the Skyrdagor Inner Sea. The central and largest island, ''Tuf Kjegesmeth'' {{IPA|[tup͡f c͡çeːɛ̯ʃmɛθ]}}, is the most populated and the cradle of Skyrdagor civilization. On it lies ''Tol Sakszyv'' {{IPA|[tɔɮ ʃɑksuː]}}, the former imperial capital, the present-day capital of Skyrdagor, and the largest city of Greater Skyrdagor. Almost all islands are divided in two large areas: a narrow northwestern coast, usually cold and windy due to polar winds flowing south and reaching them, and a much more vast southeastern plain where most of each island’s population lie. | '''Skyrdagor''' {{IPA|[ɧu͡ɯ˞dɒː˞]}} proper is an archipelago nation, made up of the islands in the Skyrdagor Inner Sea.

Most Skyrdagor nouns only inflect for two cases (absolutive and ergative), with no number marking on the nouns themselves; generic quantifiers or numbers with classifiers are used instead. Note, though, that some irregular nouns have a third, fossilized, oblique form (used with most adpositions), and there are some apparent singular/plural pairs, which are however usually analyzed as distinct lemmas.<br/>Each noun is defined as naturally animate or inanimate, something that has a notable effect on the whole grammar – inanimate nouns do not exist in the ergative case. | Most Skyrdagor nouns only inflect for two cases (absolutive and ergative), with no number marking on the nouns themselves; generic quantifiers or numbers with classifiers are used instead.

Some Skyrdagor nouns feature obligatory possession, for example the stem ''bajn-'' (mother) cannot occur without a possessive suffix, i.e. ''bajnym'' "my mother", ''bajnth'' "your (<small>M</small>) mother".

The only inflection in contemporary Skyrdagor – the ergative, as the absolutive is unmarked – is agglutinative, but the last consonant and, sometimes, the last vowel, determines the shape of the suffix: | The only inflection in contemporary Skyrdagor – the ergative, as the absolutive is unmarked – is agglutinative, but the last consonant and, sometimes, the last vowel, determines the shape of the suffix: | ||
