This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
 
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

==Introduction==
 
Inspired by German and Turkish.
<!-- Design goals, inspiration, ideas, who speaks it?, when was it created?, where does it come from?, any peculiarities? -->
 
<!-- Example categories/headings:
 
Goals
Setting
Inspiration
 
-->
 
<!-- ***Phonology*** -->
<!-- What sounds does your language use? -->
<!-- Here are some example sub-/other categories:
 
Vowel inventory
Consonant inventory
Syllable structure
Stress
Intonation
 
-->
==Phonology==
Lifted from Standard German.
===Orthography===
===Consonants===
Lifted from Standard German.
 
===Vowels===
Lifted from Standard German.
===Prosody===
Lifted from Standard German.
====Stress====
Lifted from Standard German.
====Intonation====
 
===Phonotactics===
Lifted from Standard German.
<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
===Morphophonology===
Lifted from Standard German.
==Morphology==
 
===Nouns===
 
Nouns have the following cases:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ''Spahr'' 'horse' !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| Nominative || Spahr || Spahrlich
|-
| Genitive || Spährer || Spahrlicher
|-
| Accusative || Spahren || Spahrlichen
|-
| Dative || Spahrens || Spahrlichens
|-
| Locative || Spahrs || Spahrliches
|-
| Ablative || Spährung || Spahrlichung
|-
| Instrumental || Spahrein || Spahrlichein
|-
| Abessive || Spährst || Spahrlichst
|-
| Equative || Spährte || Spahrlichte
|-
| Translative || Spährtens || Spahrlichtens
|}
The locative ending -s becomes -es after sibilants. The same case endings can be add to nouns ending in -e in the nominative, except that -ee- and -eu- changes to -e- and -u- respectively, and the syllable before the -e umlauts.
 
===Pronouns===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| 1|| brund|| bründin
|-
| 2|| zied|| ziedin
|-
| 3 (proximate)|| teck|| tecklich
|-
| 3 (obviative)|| zick|| zicklich
|}
Pronouns inflect just like nouns, and there are no irregular forms.
====Accusative clitics====
There are clitic prefixes for these pronouns in the accusative:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| 1|| be-|| ben-
|-
| 2|| zu-|| zer-
|-
| 3 (obviative)|| ge-|| ger-
|}
====Possessive affixes====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| 1|| -au|| -abe
|-
| 2|| -em|| -ebe
|-
| 3 (obviative)|| -el|| -etz
|}
Only -el triggers umlaut of the preceding syllable.
 
====Predicative affixes====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
|-
| 1|| -oll|| -eule
|-
| 2|| -eid|| -eibe
|-
| 3 (obviative)|| -end, -Ø|| -endlich, -lich
|}
 
 
<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
 
<!-- Here are some example subcategories:
 
Nouns
Adjectives
Verbs
Adverbs
Particles
Derivational morphology
 
-->
 
==Syntax==
Schwünter is completely head-final.
===Constituent order===
===Noun phrase===
===Verb phrase===
===Sentence phrase===
===Dependent clauses===
