Classification and Dialects
The Ohotskian language is a Siberian language isolate spoken in the Ohotskian Confederation. The language is highly agglutinative.

The base vocabulary of the Ohotskian language is inherited from Proto-Ohotskian. However there is an important amount of Byzantine Greek loanwoards due to the direct exchange with Constantinople through the silk road. There are also Japanese and Korean loanwords, as well as Uralic, Turkic and Slavic loanwords resulting from the contact with people speaking those languages.

The Ohotskian language is subdivided in two standards : the Upper Ohotskian Standard (UOS) and the Lower Ohotskian Standard (LOS). Those two standards are seperated geographically by the Maya river, the UOS being spoken in the States below the Maya river and the LOS being spoken in the States upper of the Maya river. Both standard are declared as equivalent by the Constitution of the Ohotskian Confederation. The phonetical and grammatical differences between both standards will be elucidated later on.

Writing System
The Cyrillic script has been introduced in the 13th century to the Ohotskians by Kievan scholars being on a mission to christanize the Siberian territories. However, the Medieval Cyrillic script was loaded with archaisms and complexities, which persisted until 1856, e.g. : differentiation of I and И both standing for /i/, differentiation of У and Ѹ standing for /u/, etc. In 1856, the orthography was simplified to its modern form following the principle that every letter should stand for one particular sound, to allow a more faciliated alphabetization. Some letters were dropped, others were created.

Base Grammar
The "Base Grammar" (in Ohotskian : Базиграматика - in both standards) is the onset of rules laying the fundaments of the Ohotskian grammar for both standards.

Case system and syntax
The Ohotskian language has a very rich case system, which stands in strong correlation to its syntax. Nouns do not have any gender, they may be singular or plural and may be put into 14 different cases. Every noun in Ohotskian ends in a vowel, which the case ending will be added to. Note that both standards will be presented and that the first one is the Upper Ohotskian Standard and the second one - the Lower Ohotskian Standard.
