Saruzh is the spoken language of Arganuta and a minority language in areas previously under saruzh rule.


Classification

Saruzh is related to the extinct Tračian Language, but is otherwise an language isolate.

Dialects

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

Historically there were three main dialect groups that each had subgroups of their own: Central Saruzh (spoken in the Heartland), Southern Saruzh (spoken in the southern and coastal Areas) and Mountain Saruzh (encompassing all dialects spoken by tribal saruzh).

Sentences

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:

Nouns

Verbs

Nominalization:

Verbs are transformed into Nouns by:

adding -ку: Transforms into person doing sth. :

срамаса (to worship) => срамасаку (Worshipper)

adding -та: Transforms into sth. that is done. :

срамаса (to worship) => срамасата (Worship, Prayer)

TODO:

perpetual tense: For actions are performed perpetually or repeat themselves continually: e.g. gears turning, astronomical phenomena occuring, cylinder of an engine going back and forth, describing (the religious) "cycles", etc => = HABITUAL TENSE

By adding adjective or nound in front of verb you can describe a certain way of doing sth: модуe live

тюменeмодуe live in a manly way


Future tenses : 1.Future that may happen 2.Future that will happen 3.Event that happens after another event in the future happened

Adjectives

Something like jätte in swedish, word+adjective = "very" adjective, like jätteblå = very blue / extremely blue
