Dialects

Due to the active policy of dialect suppression in Arganuta modern Saruzh knows no dialects seperate from the Church Mandated Church Saruzh.

Exclamation Sentences: It is possible to make single-word-sentences of the schema "A to B".If the first word ends with a consonant, an a is added.If the first words ends with a vocal and the second begins with one too, the beginning vocal of the second word is omitted.

слава + aргана = славаргана 
Glory + Argana = Glory to Argana !

марг + Ёрёвидил = маргёрёвидил !
Death + Foreigner = Death to (the) Foreigners !

йбё + Ёрёван = йбёрёван !
War + Outland = (Bring) war to the outland ! (second ё is omitted)

Approval questions: If the speaker asks for an opinion or approval, the word некане is inserted at the end of the sentence. It works similiar to [sentence], no ? or [sentence], don't you ? in english Examples:

A sentence is turned into a question by adding дал to the beginning of the sentence.

To express extreme shock/amazement/etc. in a question, the word order in the sentence can be turned around, from SVO to VSO:
