Ástralic



Ástralicy, or New Australian English, is a conlang made by ParaStar6 for his story Miðsumrynáhtydrém (translated as A Midsummer Night's Dream). It is the language spoken only in Australia in the 23rd Century.

Alphabet
There are 35 letters in the Ástralicy alphabet. This is famous for bringing back the letters "Ð" and "Þ" and introducing the letter "Ŋ" into the English speaking group.

Grammar
[still being made]

Unlike its modern ancestor, the grammar for Ástralicy is very complex.

Nouns and Adjectives have seven genders: Male, Female, Neuter, Masculine, Feminine, Object, and Abstract. They also have six cases: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genitive, Vocative, and Instrumental.

Verbs and Adverbs have three tenses: Past, Present, and Future. They also conjugate in the following persons: First, Second, Third masculine, Third Feminine, and Third Neuter. There are also: the Past, Present and Future Participles, Imperative Singular and Plural, and the Infinitive forms, but these only conjugate the verb and not the adverb.

Noun and Adjective Declension
To make up for having so many cases and genders, both the noun and adjective declensions are the same. This means that it is up to context to decide which word is the noun and which is the adjective, but the adjectives usually precede the nouns unless for poetic purposes.

The regular declensions are in the table below (plurals are in brackets).

To help you remember them:


 * Male and Masculine use the same letter, Masculine uses the accent. Same for Female/Feminine and Neuter/Object.
 * Dative always ends with "m", Genitive with "z", and Vocative with "ó".
 * Male and Masculine Vocative each have "j" before the "ó"
 * Dative is Accusative with "m" after it, Genitive is Nominative with "z" after it, and Instrumental is Nominative with an "n" before it.

Verb and Adverb Conjugation
As the noun and adjective declensions are the same, the verb and adverb conjugations are similar.

The regular conjugations are in the table below (adverbs are in square brackets).

Adverbs also decline to agree with their adjective. Basically you just replace the "é" with "j" and add the declension. This doesn't always work, so here's another table:
