Azien

Azien is the language that has developed in Australia after the Apocalypse in 2064.

Setting
Azien is believed to have started developing as a unique language approximately 40-70 years after the Apocalypse due to its isolation to other English speaking communities. Being derived from Enlish, it is fairly mutually intelligible; however, it also takes vocabulary from many slang words and other languages believed to have been spoken in Australia. Its grammer is also different and in some ways simpler than that of English. Certain aspects of the grammar have also been influenced by Japanese, specifically the presence of particles for marking a noun's role in a sentence.

Verb forms
Verbs can take three forms:
 * Simple, infinitive state - start with a "t", e.g. "toin" means "to eat". Verbs can take two other forms:
 * Participle form - start with a k, e.g. "koin" means "eaten". Note that these only function as modifiers.
 * Free or "bare" form - do not start with anything and are combined with a time particle and a subject to indicate an action, e.g. "oin" means "eat", "eats", "ate", "will eat", etc. depending on the time particle and subject.
