General idea: "a synthetic fusional language with Thai pragmatics" | |||
==Nouns== | |||
Vruxma nouns occur in four cases: topical, direct, oblique, vocative; as well as absolute, definite, and construct states. | |||
Notably, number marking in Vruxma occurs only in the construct state. Vruxma has a system of classifiers like Thai, and plural marking generally occurs only on classifiers -- otherwise nouns are plurality-neutral. | |||
Vruxma has no grammatical gender. | |||
==Pronouns== | |||
Pronouns are generally optional in Vruxma, and are often substituted with titles or kinship terms. These are generally used to specify age, gender, and other attributes. | |||
Vruxma has a three-way system of demonstratives which cause nominal referents to show up in the definite or construct state. | |||
==Verbs== | |||
Vruxma verbs include what would be considered verbs, adjectives, and prepositions in Indo-European languages. | |||
