General information
The language from which Taqurese and its sister languages (will) descend.

In all honesty, I'll eventually find somewhere to use this. It shall quite possibly be a poem, but a story/novel will eventually employ it.

N.B: The language appears to be Swahili-based. We shall see if this is continued.

Phonology
Transcriptions are in {}.

Phonotactics
Syllables are either of the form CV or N, where N is any nasal.

Nouns
Nouns inflect for number and gender (more accurately noun class). They are marked using a nominal prefix. The number and gender prefixes are as follows:

Verbs
Verbs inflect with the following order and elements: person, number and gender of topic-negative/causative-tense, aspect and mood-person, number and gender of other of subject/object-root. Below are the prefixes for the first and fourth spaces:

Syntax
Word order is SOV, though topicalised constituents move to the front and add the postparticle ekh. For brevity, a subject identical to that of the last sentence (or sometimes that is the topic of a text/discussion) may be omitted. A verb identical to the previous may also be dropped. Object dropping may only occur if the object is already on the verb.
