Kornich

Kornich is a language spoken by 289,000 approx. in the Dutch region of Corn (fictional) It is a Germanic language closely resembling Dutch and English.

Classification and Dialects
The language is SOV using V2 word order, however it lacks cases due to phonemic decay after the 1500s. Consonantal sounds vary depending on place in the word due to outdated spelling.

Orthography
Each vowel has multiple ways to be said depending on where they are in a word or if they are short or long. Often vowels before double consonants are short. I will list them with the phoneme in that same order, start, middle, end. Long vowels in the graph will be represented with a macron. Consonants devoice when near voiced consonants

Phonotactics
There are often 2-3 consonants before vowels in this language. There is no set syllable structure.

Nouns
Nouns do not decline for any case; however, they do decline for number, often adding an n or an es. The genitive it made in 2 ways. The first is by using the definite article in the genitive form with the noun, and the second is used by taking the noun with the genitive form of the neuter 3rd person pronoun, or in English "its" The second must be used with indefinite articles or no article as neither the indefinite articles nor nouns decline for possession.

Verbs
Verb conjugation is quite simple and almost always regular, except for the most common verbs (Can't make it simple y'know!) There is a Germanic strong verb change which I will put a table of it below. It affects the vowel in past tense stems and the participles, also when a verb is a strong verb its 2nd and 3rd person singular present forms will move closer to /i/.

Conjugation can be found in the graph below. The complexity of the past participle is because when a verb starts with e, the starting prefix will be geh-, not he- and when a verb is a strong verb, it only takes the he- not the ending -d. Along with this in the subjunctive past, auxillary, irregular, and strong verbs umlaut their vowels.

The passive is formed by using Zan (To be) + the past participle. If you want to include an operator, then use Zan + fan (From) + Operator + past participle.

In the first person present you can omit the subject often.

Syntax
Adjectives come before the nouns. It uses a V2 word order, with questions making the verb first. Overall syntax is similar to german
