Of all these dialects, West Arkathian is the furthest removed from Central Arkathian, the most widely spoken varient and therefore the dialect that is often viewed as the "standard" version of the language.

Verbs
Verbs are central to Arkathian as the subject of the sentence must agree with the primary verb in gender and number. The gender of an Arkathian verb is determined by what prefix it's given, -az for masculine, -is for feminine and lack of prefix for neuter. Neuter is always used when the subject of the verb has no discernable gender. Verbs in Arkathian are conjugated based on whether their ending in the infinitive(-as, -ir, -tur, -na) and wether they are "strong" verbs or "weak" verbs.
