Kostish

General information
'''This project has recently been picked up again, I am reworking it to represent the correct information. '''It is a language spoken by desert tribes in the fictional continent of Beln, in the south-western country so called Defon.

Alphabet
The dental fricatives are represented with orthographically as labio-dental plosives with an h (a digraph)

Vowels
the official pronunciation of vowels is maintained as so:

Adverbs
They generally end in -lic. Use the equivalent of "more" and "most" (mora & most respectively) to denote comparative and superlative degrees. The comparative grammar applies here as well.

Determiners
This is probably the hardest of all declensions. Sometimes it is more inflected do to multiple roots for one word. This, however, is the standard declension.

Of those mentioned or implied
Because both of these are regular and for the sake of space, I won't provide declension tables sorry. These come from the three germanic stems: t-, s-, and w-, + "like". *The usage of such is somewhat different. It is used without the indefinite article, as in "which pen", the answer is "such pen", not "such a pen".
 * alc /æl tʃ/ - each
 * silc /sɪltʃ/ - such*
 * ƕilc /ʍ ɪltʃ / - which

Articles
All articles are irregular. There is no negative definite article. One simply negates the verbs and uses the definite article.

The Proto-Germanic s-stem forms completely took over masculine and feminine genders. Every form of both PGmc s-stem and t-stem forms are represented however(suprisingly).

Both indefinite articles feature odd plural forms.

Demonstratives
The distal demonst distal is "yon"
