Ladérà

Ladérà (pronounced [la de'ʁɑ̃]) is a complex language with relatively unique in most aspects. However, Ladérà draws influences from French for pronunciation, and Amharic for syllable structure. Ladérà is a highly inflecting and adaptive language; there are few elements of a sentence that are not changed according to the situation.

Phonology
Letters in Ladérà have exactly one sound each, and there are no redundancies.

Phonotactics
Every syllable in Ladérà is compromised of a consonant followed by a vowel. The only exception to this rule is the letter "Ŋ", which can only be placed at the end of a word, without any letter following it.

The accented syllable is always the final syllable. Accented letters mark a change in sound produced, not a change in the placement of the accented syllable.

Verbs
Verbs in Ladérà agree to the gender, number, and person of its subject. Verbs also agree to tenses and moods (there is no other element of Ladérà that explicitly agrees with mood). Each conjugated verb is in the following setup:

The conjugation element of a verb includes all forms of the word, including the infinitive. Note that the three sub-elements of conjugation are not clearly defined from one another.

Note that if a verb is progressive, it must be in the progressive or conditional-progressive tense (whichever is applicable). If it is unknown when a verb took place other than if it was the past, present, or future, then the simple tense is to be used. There is no real rule to when the near future or past is to be used.

A verb in its infinitive form has the suffix “–bö” at its end. Whenever a conjugation is made, this suffix is replaced by the conjugation. A plural form of a verb is the same as its singular form, except preceeded by the affix “–žu–”.

Mood
The moods of Ladérà are added after the conjugation. The priority index indicates what mood will be used when there is an overlap. For instance, if a verb could be in the Jussive and Interrogative mood, the Jussive mood used because it has a higher priority. These moods are:
