Thiskish

Thiskish is a unique Indo-European language derived mostly from Greek and influenced by English.

Setting
The language formed from a mixture of Indo-European languages and soon became unique as well as the sole language in the Thisk branch of languages. Sometime in the second millennium influence from English began and Thiskish became more similar to English over time. It is spoken around the coastline of the North Sea.

Typology
Thiskish is a Subject Verb Object (SVO) language, an average sentence would be along the lines of 8vm oз гλsɾiznuзt (Sam ate oranges). Thiskish is also a Place Manner Time language, so another sentence would be wv гбmt ɾo yz bбx (I went to the store by car yesterday). Adjectives and Adverbs almost always are placed in front of the word they modify.

Articles
Thiskish contains many different articles, each for a different purpose. The most common is the neutral definite article, Yz (I ate the cheese). In addition, there are feminine definite (We played with the [female] cat) and masculine definite articles (I walked the [male] dog), Ѳz and Sz respectively. The gender of the words is arbitrary, so you just use the article depending on the gender of the noun. The indefinite article Чv (I saw a bird), the partitive article 8i (Do you want some water?), the negative article Jб (No man is an island), and a final article referring to all of a noun known as Bo are also present in the language.

Declensions
Thiskish has 4 declensions in use today. These four are roughly the nominative case, the accusative case, the dative case, and the genitive case. The nominative case is written as the root word. The accusative is marked by the suffix -uз (if last letter is vowel, -tuз), the dative by the suffix -vm (if last letter is vowel, -tvm), and the genetive by the suffix -zч (if last letter is vowel, -tzч). There is also some irregular declension that changes the word instead of adding a suffix.

Number
Thiskish has three grammatical numbers for its nouns, the singular (1), dual (2) and plural (more than 2). These can be identified by no suffix for singular, a suffix of -ɒ for dual, and a suffix of -t for plural. Sometimes there are irregular nouns, usually caused by a double letter or hard to pronounce sound, but sometimes for very little or no reason.

Gender
In Thiskish, word gender is covered by various affixes and articles. The main types of noun gender in Thiskish include sexuality (neuter, femininity, masculinity) and number (singular, dual, plural). Any others are given to the reader by affixes, or optionally adjectives.

Pitch
There are two types of pitch that affect meaning in Thiskish, the high frequency and the low frequency. In verbs, saying a verb low frequency indicates it was done slowly while high frequency indicates it was done quickly. In nouns, low frequency indicates the noun is somewhat "sad" while high frequency indicates the noun is somewhat "happy". Overall pitch has little effect besides for those, and it does not affect any other types of words.

Tenses
There are four tenses in Thiskish, these are the future tense, present tense, recent tense, and past tense. They are all used arbitrarily to tell a reader when the verb was done. The difference between recent tense and past tense is that in past tense, the verb has been done after it has triggered another major event. Past tense is triggered by the suffix -vч (or if the last letter is a vowel, -tчv). Recent tense is triggered by the suffix -λy (or if the last letter is a vowel, -tλy). Present tense is the base word. Future tense is triggered by the suffix -iк (or if the the last letter is a vowel, -tiк).
