'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' (''Qivattutannguaq'' /hivatːutaŋːuaχ/ or ''Qivattuq tannguaq'' /hivatːuχ taŋːuaχ/) is an Indo-European language inspired by Greenlandic, Old Persian and Proto-Celtic. 
 
Qivattutannguaq is a result of Indo-European being influenced by Inuit languages. It was spoken in Qivattulunnun, which is located in our Great Britain.
 
It was divided into two registers, the high register Qunngartutannguaq ("perfected language") and the vernacular Prisinitutannguaq ("natural language").

Numerals percede nouns. As in Baltic and Slavic languages different numerals require different cases for the noun:
Numerals percede nouns. Numbers above 1 take the genitive (partitive) singular.
*If the number's last digit is 1, the singular form is used, but case is unaffected.
*If the number's last digit is 2, and the noun phrase is in the nominative or accusative, masculine and neuter nouns use the ''genitive'' singular, but feminine nouns use the ''dative'' singular.
*If the number's last digit is 3 or 4, the genitive plural is used.
*Otherwise, the plural form is used as usual, with case unaffected by the numeral.
