Neuhic Lingue

Neuhic Lingue borrows much of its vocabulary from English and some Chinese dialects.

It has 3 grammatical cases: nominative, accusative and genitative; 2 genders: male and female, as well as a lack of gender case; and seven tenses... verb tenses can be illustrated with this example for drink: drink drahas, is drinking drahasin, drank drahast, had drunken drahastit, was drinking drahastin, will drink drahasil, will have drunk drahasilt.

Neuhic Lingue is a SVO language, which means subjects come first, then verbs, then objects. Words that modify other words, such as adjectives, abverbs, and prepositions come before the words they modify. To indicate a question, the subject and verb is simply switched, e.g.: Ni laicas fuuden. You like food. vs Laicas ni fuuden? Do you like food?

=Basic Grammar= Nouns change form depending on tense, gender, and whether they are singular or plural. Verbs change form depending on tense. Adjectives change form based on intensity. Noun bases generally end with vowels indicating their plurality level, gender, and place in the sentence, basic verbs end in s, and abjectives ends with ic.

Negatives
There are only three. They are nu not, mu not have, bu do not. They can be added to the fronts of nouns, verbs and adjectives to affect the meaning.

Articles
There are only two used in this language, u and ju, corresponding with a/an and the, respectively.
