Jörscengsclúúxell

General information
This language is under construction. This page is also under construction. When I figure out how to enter the sounds, I will enter them all immediately. At least the language is now classified correctly.

Alphabet
Fortunately, nobody has to sing the Jörscngsclúxel alphabet song (yet). The language uses the Latin alphabet to be easy to use for the designer and others who may wish to use it, but including digraphs, trigraphs, and letters with diacritics as seperate letters, it has 53 characters, and if one counts the doubled vowels that signify vowel length, even more. The letter "y" appears only in loanwords.

Nouns
Nouns are heavily declined, but the way they are declined is complicated. Only the case and sometimes the gender are shown in the noun itself. Otherwise, the number and "definiteness" as well as the case and gender are shown by determiners.

Verbs
There are basically only two tenses, present and past. There are also two kinds of participles, present and past. There are either two or three moods, the indicative and non-indicative, or the indicative, subjunctive, and imperative. The subjunctive and imperative look exactly the same except that the imperative either has no subject or has a subject in the vocative case. Depending on one's perspective, either all verbs are regular or all verbs are irregular, since they are marked for tense only marked by predictable vowel changes.

Syntax
The language has free word order, which does not mean any words can go in any order, only that it is not SVO, SOV, or any of those orders. This is made possible by the numberous clearly marked cases of the language.
