=Basic Grammar=

Nouns
Mulanian has definite and indefinite forms of the noun. Definite form is usually marked by the ending -n, but sometimes by a posessive marker (see table below).

The underlined a is the case marker, so all these examples are in the nominative.

Cases
I do not know the appropriate names of most of these cases.

Verbs
All verbs have the marker -i- as the last vowel. There are 4 forms of the verb:

Past, present and future tense is not included in the verb itself, but in an associated time word. A verb corresponding to the English "to be" does not exist.

Adjectives and adverbs
Adjectives as they are known in English are not distinguished from adverbs. They are found as two different types: short and long. The short ones are monosyllabic and end in a long vowel. These are often involved in the construction of compound words. The long ones are usually connected to corresponding nouns or verbs. naka shý = a big house    naka chady = a white house chada = white color       chada vý = nice white color

=Dictionary= maidu = sheep

oo = and

shý = big/large

surina = human

tifana = wool

tupi = to run
