Amerilang

introduction
Amerilang is a conlang made by me, made to function as an auxlang (though it'll probably never gain popularity), and therefore be simple to learn. its lexicon is derived from English, Spanish, Chinese, French, and Tagalog, the 5 most spoken languages in the US, and it's grammar was somewhat inspired by Esperanto.

Consonants

 * /n/ can become /ŋ/ before /k g/.
 * /r~ɾ~ɻ/ and /x~h/ are interchangeable, depending on what the speaker is more comfortable with.

word order & syntax
Amerilang is a strict SVO adjective-noun language. questions can be formed by placing an interrogative pronoun (see below) at the beginning of a sentence, like in English.

Amerilang has simple, Esperanto-like morphology, only inclining for number in nouns and case in verbs.

nouns
There are no genders or cases in Amerilang, but there are numbers and articles.

Number can either be marked with “-s” or “-as,” depending on whether the plural word normally ends in a consonant or a vowel.

Imoshen (emotion) > imoshenas (emotions)

Coche (car) > coches (cars)

There is only a definite article, that being “de.”

For nouns related to work, it is structured more as a compound, built as “(person) of (object related to job).” for example, “butcher” is “hombre av karne,” meaning “man of meat.”

pronouns
There are three types of pronouns: personal, interrogative and demonstrative.

Personal
1st singular: mwa

1st plural: nu

2nd singular: tu

2nd plural: vutu

3rd singular: el

3rd plural: ela

Personal pronouns can also be used to mark possession.

Interrogative
These are placed at the start of a sentence, before the subject.

Who: sino

What: ano

When: kalan (can also stand for ‘if’)

Where: san

why: bakit

How: pano

Demonstrative
This: des

These: desa

That: dat

Those: dos

verbs
There are three verb endings, each standing for tense: “-as” for present, “-es” for past, and “-os” for future.

Mwa comeras; I eat

Mwa comeres; I ate

Mwa comeros; I will eat

Verbs become negated when following “no.” verbs can also become passive using the copula verb “shikas,” meaning “to be.”

Another use of copula verbs is the verb “avas,” meaning “to have,” which can be used to form a perfective verb.

Mwa avas comeras; I have eaten.

adjectives & adverbs
Adjectives are derived from nouns, and adverbs from verbs, using the roots “-(a)hos” and “-(a)li” respectively.

Karne (meat) > karnehos (meaty)

Comeras (to eat) > comerasali (hungrily)
