Middle Gastish

General Information
Middel Gastisc(Modern English: Middle Gastish) is an earlier form of Modern Gastish (Gas. Gastisc). Middle Gastish is a West-Germanic language immediately descended from a dialect of Old English(no interruption of French). The idea behind it is that it might have been a hypothetical language to develop from Old English if some of the Anglo-Saxons had traveled to an island more northward("Gastland") and thus had their language more influenced by North-Germanic rather than Latin and French influences.

Origin
"Gast" means ghost. The language earned its name first as "Gastig Ænglisc"; a dialect of Old English, literally translating as "Ghosty English". Then is split to the Gastig Language Family. See the category page for more details.

Plans
This language primarily serves as a basis for Gastish. In other words, it most likely will not be fleshed out, however some notes on the language will be written down and be comparable to features in Modern Gastish.

Grammar
The language is known to have featured three genders(masculine, neuter, and feminine). It also held five fully inflected cases(Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, and Instrumental) plus two mock cases that essentially developed in their own right(vocative and locative).

Though it was more greatly inflected, certain things such as verbal aspect were not entirely standardized, and inflection was much heavier.

Articles
The definite features the Proto-Germanic t-stem forms in the masculine and feminine oblique cases that are not featured in Modern Gastish.

Demonstratives
Note that the proximal differs greatly from Modern Gastish's set. Besides the lost cases, forms closer(and less hyper-corrected) to Old English can be seen.

Noun Declension
Derives from various germanic strong noun declensions, as well as the general weak germanic noun. It parallels most closely with Ænglisc and the Nordic languages. The preposition "bei" expresses instrumental meaning. There are also a number of archaic cases: instrumental, locative, and vocative.
