Grammar (Akatirolis)[]

Nouns[]

Nouns are declined according to case, gender, and number. There are five cases: Nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative; three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter; and two numbers: singular and plural. They are very easy to distinguish as in the nominative and ablative cases, they start and end with a vowel, while for the other three, they start with a vowel and end in a consonant.

All masculine nouns either have a k-stem, and r-stem, an m-stem or a d-stem. Feminine nouns all either have an l-stem, a w-stem or an s-stem. Neuter nouns either have an h-stem, a j-stem, an n-stem or a c-stem.

The endings are all the same.

Singular Plural
Nominative ~ -n~
Genitive -s -n~s
Dative -b -b~
Accusative -n -n~n
Ablative -i -n~

3 Akub Akuba Aleb Alebu Acib Acibe
4 Akun Akunan Alen Alenun Acin Acinen
5 Akui Akunai Alei Alenui Acii Acinei

Verbs[]

Verbs all start with a consonant and end with a "t" in the infinitive, but in all indicative cases, they end in vowels.

The following example is using the verb "to have", which is banut in Tyrolese (with the stress on the last syllable).

Indicative Present Past Pluperfect Future Future Perfect
1st Person binu binru banu banru benu benru bonu bonru bunu bunru
2nd Person binlu binnu banlu bannu benlu bennu bonlu bonnu bunlu bunnu
3rd Person bintu binsu bantu bansu bentu bensu bontu bonsu buntu bunsu
Imperative Subjunctive
1. banú banrú banau banrau
2. banlú bannú banlau bannau
3. bantú bansú bantau bansau

Syntax[]

Word syntax is quite simple: the root of a noun or of an adjective is followed by the root of a verb, whereas the root of an object precedes the root of a verb. The root of an adjective follows the root of the noun. The root of an adverb is followed by the root of a verb. Prepositions precede the nouns they describe.

Sentence syntax is just as simple: subject+object+verb.
