Linguasphere | German |
The Diutche language, Diutchelies, has 3 genders and 4 cases. Like its many Germanic counterparts, there is not a set word order for the cases (there is a rigid word order for things such as adjectives, adverbs, and the like). The three genders are Feminine, Masculine, and Neuter, while the cases are Nominative (Subject), Accusative (Direct Object), Genitive (Possession), and Dative (Indirect Object). Now, when discussing crowds of people, or things of unknown gender, the neuter case is used, in place of feminine or masculine singular and plural declensions.
Articles
Like its fellow languages, ‘the’ (Definitive Article) and ‘a(n)’ (Indefinite Article) changes in to match the declensions; Nouns too will have declensions based upon the case, and if it is singular or plural, while still agreeing to the genders when plural, unlike ‘the’ and ‘a(n)’. Down below are the charts for ‘the’ and ‘a(n)’. In order to make the Definite articles negative, ie “not the”, “nicht” needs to be placed in front of the article. Unlike the Definite articles, in order to make the Indefinite negative, K- needs to be attached to the front of them (forming “not a/any”).

Genitive | Tros | Tres | Tras | Tehs | Itos | Ites | Itas | Itehs |
Pronouns
Like other languages, Diutchelies has 4 main types of pronouns, Subject (I, We), Direct (me, us), Indirect (also me and us in English) and Genitive. However, what sets it aside is that, while other Germanic languages tend to have an informal and formal pair of you (singular and plural, Diutchelies has two types of Subject Pronouns lists, Informal and Formal. The language does not have any other Informal or Formal pronoun list. The neuter gender acts like “They, Them” or “It, It” in English, either stating an unknown gender or a gender neutral term. The pronouns are as such:

Dative | Nēl | Nēr | Nēs | Nīol | Nīer | Nīas | Nūr | Nūir |
Genitive | Hōs | Hēs | Hās | Hiel | Hier | Hies | Hūr | Hūir |
Nouns
Nouns have their own set of declensions and rules. Diutchelies has two types of noun declensions, Strong and Weak. The main difference is that the Strong indicates the gender and case much clearer than Weak. However, the Weak declension will only be used by adjectives if there is a determiner before it. Unless the determiner is an Itehr word, or a possessive pronoun, which it will take the Strong declension, and the noun will not take a declension. One with a keen eye may start to see some patterns shared between the Indefinite and Definite articles with these declensions. Down below is the chart of declensions:
case | Declensions | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Strong | Weak | |||||||
Masculine | Feminine | Neuter | Plural | Masculine | Feminine | Neuter | Plural | |
Nominative | -ro | -re | -ra | -er | -e | -e | -e | -n |
Accusative | -no | -ne | -na | -en | -e | -e | -e | -n |
Dative | -mo | -me | -ma | -em | -m | -m | -m | -n |
Genitive | -so | -se | -sa | -es | -m | -m | -m | -n |
For both declensions, if the noun ends with an "e" and the declension starts with "e," remove the first "e" and turn the second "e" into "ē". When ending with an “i”, it will change to “ï” and the following “e” will remain.
Things such as demonyms or the names of groups are unique, and do not use the above declensions. They will retain their current ending (-e) for all singular declensions, while gaining -n for masculine plural, -ne for feminine plural, and -se for neuter plural
Verbs
Verbs are the very core of a sentence, where it is needed to form a sentence. Verbs in Diutchelies either have the endings of -er or -ir, both have the similar conjugations, and it uses helping verbs to form some tenses. Diutchelies has a continuous mood, but it is an unrecognised mood by the Linguist Academy of Starkia, and the common use is not fully standardised. The further use of continuous would be considered informal. Despite that status, a standardised version is listed. Imperfect and Past Continuous are by effect, the same. Imperfect is more traditional, and formal, while the Past Continuous is in line with the other continuous tense. To make a verb passive (to be verbed) instead of active, attach seis to the beginning of the verb. If the verb starts with an S, such as Sterbaner, “To Die”/“To Kill”, the two Ss will merge and become ß: Ir wir seißterbanti, “I was killed”. Some verbs cannot become passive, or some verbs only exist in passive. If the passive does not make sense with the English translation, it should not be passive. In order to form the negative, add “nicht” in front of the verb (and any additions, such as seis): Ir wil nicht komtani, “I will not come”; Ir wil hase nicht sießeihra, “I Will have not been seen”.
Below is the model conjugations of verbs.
