Zhoushi language is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_languages Slavic language] out of [[Kento-Poylash languages|Kento-Polyash language group]], which is a official language of [[Zhousheng]] and a official federal language in [[Mustelaria]] along with Belgorian and Neo-Mustelarian.  
The '''Zhoushi language''' (Zhoushi: ''Ʒөшinчina'') is a [[wikipedia:Slavic_languages|Slavic language]] with major influence of local languages of TBD, that arose as a [[wikipedia:Mixed language|mixed language]] or [[wikipedia:Pidgin|pidgin]] of sorts in the nation of [[Zhousheng]], a former colonial outpost of [[Suidenland]]. It is based on a slavic grammatic and linguistic base, especially inspired by [[Bogmian language|Bogmian]], [[wikipedia:Czech language|Suiden]] and [[Belgorian language|Belgorian]] languages, but has many major influences of other languages located in the region, especially [[Yu language|Standard Yu]], [[wikipedia:Khmer language|Preimeai]], [[wikipedia:Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin Chinese]] and [[wikipedia:Kagate language|Syuba]].
==Introduction==
 
The language has a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_languages slavic root and grammar], however, unlike other slavic languages, has 8 grammatical cases (other have 7 or 6). Also, there are about 700 Zhengian words in present day Zhoushi language, they are inflected using Bogmian grammar. Old Zhengian, having been descendant out of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austroasiatic_languages Prei-Phnom languages], was slowly assimilated into Slavic grammar, having transformed into Slavic Zhengian. Because of the Zhengian accents profilerating, Zhoushi language has 40 unique phonemes, 2 of which are exclusive to Zhoushi language (those are /r̝̊/ ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_alveolar_trill#Voiceless_alveolar_fricative_trill Voiceless alveolar fricative trill])<ref>Note: this phoneme is present in other two [[Kento-Polyash languages]]: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_language Velnotian] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbian_languages Ulevan]</ref>'' and /ȴ̩/ ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllabic_consonant Syllabic] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_palatal_lateral_approximant voiced alveolo-palatal lateral approximant])'').
==History==
==Alphabet==
TBD
After the reform of 1912, when Bogmian language officially abandoned [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_alphabet Protopolyash script] in favor of the new [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet Latin script], hoping to solve the problematic grammar, as multiple phonemes shared one symbol (such as "i" and "j" were both noted as "ⲓ") Three official versions of the new script had been made:
 
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapheme Grapheme] version: This version was later adopted as the official alphabet of the new Zhoushi language in 1984, uses special symbols for each phoneme
===Comparison with the two former languages===
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic Diacritic] version: This version uses basic latin alphabet and solves the phonemes by adding diacritic symbols. Although still being recognized as a acceptable version of the language, it is barely used.
{|class="wikitable" style=text-align:center
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digraph_(orthography) Digraph] version: This version uses digraphs to sign specifical phonemes. It was dropped in early 1950's, as it didn't solve the main reason why Bogmians abandoned the Protopolyash script in the first place.
!Aspect
Zhoushi, although not officially using it, sometimes used lenghtened marks for vowels and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllabic_consonant syllabic consonants]. Those symbols were used in some historical transcripts, but were eventually faded in pre-1950's unification proposals and didn't make it into the official grammar of 1984.

==Adjectives==
===Association to gender===
Zhoushi adjectives could be divided into four groups:
* Descriptive soft
* Descriptive hard
* Possessive soft
* Possessive hard
Possessive adjectives describe a association to or a ownership of a certain object (such as "Father's car" - ''Oþcovo auto''), while the descriptive adjectives describe a atribute or a property of the said object (such as "Blue car" - ''Modre auto''). Adjectives do not differentiate between masculine inanimate and masculine animate.<ref>Except the suffixes, in which the masculine animate ends with "-i", while masculine inanimate ends with "-y"</ref> Indifferent gender words are declined using neuter forms.


There are 4 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection Inflection patterns] (One for each group of adjectives)
==Grammar==

*[[wikipedia:Comparison (grammar)|Comparative]] - Form for comparison relative to something: ''Happy → Happ'''ier'''
*[[wikipedia:Comparison (grammar)|Superlative]] - Form showing absolute relative to a group: ''Happy → Happ'''iest'''
*[[wikipedia:Augmentative|Augmentative]] - Form showing absolute position without a relative: ''Happy → '''Ultimately'''/'''Absolutely''' happy

In plural, if the subject of the coversation which is substituted by "they" a mix of multiple genders, there is a hierarchy of genders which are prefered. Here is a list:
* Masculine (both animate and inanimate) - ''Muзy, Lєsy, Rөзe aj Kuꝛata'' - use "Oni"
* Feminine - ''Rөзe aj Kuꝛata'' - use "Ony"
* Neuter/indifferent - ''Kuꝛata aj Miƞєsta'' - use "Ona"
If masculine is present, use masculine form. If there is no masculine, but there is a feminine, use feminine form. Use neuter if only indifferent and neuter words are present.
==Numbers==
Due to the prominence of [[wikipedia:Polydactyly|hexadactyly]] between the Zhoushi populace, Zhousheng is one of the few nations, that developed a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal dozenal system]. Zhousheng officially used latinized dozenal system until 1978, when the government officially decided to abandon the system and move towards a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal decimal system]. In school, both systems are told in a paralel to each other, which helps Zhoushi students to better understand numbers and aren't tied to just one graphical representation of the number, supporting abstract thinking. However, this also causes some problems with education, therefore math is being told in kindergarden as well to balance the pressure kids would be subjected during math exams.

[[File:Zhoushi 7segment numbers.png|thumb|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-segment_display 7-seg] numbers]]
Currently, dozenal system is used only sparsely in common use, but for example clocks still retained their original cyclic description (that is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-ᚴ-ⵒ-ᘐ), so called cyclical symbol, noted as "ᘐ" in new Zhoushi numerals refers to a number in a twelve-step cycle. Example could be clock, where numerals 10, 11 and 12 are replaced by ᚴ, ⵒ and ᘐ to this day. Some translations of the Kaȝin Canon still use dozenal naming, especially in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation Book of Revelation of John].
===Numbers 11-1ⵒ===
Numbers 11-1ⵒ are created by adding suffix ''"-asꞇ"'' (Or ''"-nasꞇ"'') to the numbers 1-ⵒ. The same system applied to the old decimal numbering, therefore, the next table is listing both decimal and dozenal, keep in mind the values are relative:

===Numbers 21-ⵒⵒ===
Regular numbers between 20 and 100 are made by the combination of the tens and units. The western (Haldenian) dialects, having been influenced by [[Gadorien|Gadori]] grammar, sometimes use a version with the conjunction interix ''"-a-"'' with a switched order. Here are some examples:

The Zhoushi language (Zhoushi: Ʒөшinчina) is a Slavic language with major influence of local languages of TBD, that arose as a mixed language or pidgin of sorts in the nation of Zhousheng, a former colonial outpost of Suidenland. It is based on a slavic grammatic and linguistic base, especially inspired by Bogmian, Suiden and Belgorian languages, but has many major influences of other languages located in the region, especially Standard Yu, Preimeai, Mandarin Chinese and Syuba.

Orthography and phonology

Introduction

The language has a slavic root and grammar, however, unlike other slavic languages, has 8 grammatical cases (other have 7 or 6). Also, there are about 700 Zhengian words in present day Zhoushi language, they are inflected using Bogmian grammar. Old Zhengian, having been descendant out of Prei-Phnom languages, was slowly assimilated into Slavic grammar, having transformed into Slavic Zhengian. Because of the Zhengian accents profilerating, Zhoushi language has 40 unique phonemes, 2 of which are exclusive to Zhoushi language (those are /r̝̊/ (Voiceless alveolar fricative trill)[1] and /ȴ̩/ (Syllabic voiced alveolo-palatal lateral approximant)).

Grammar

The Zhoushi language knows two grammatical numbers, singular and plural (with some remnants of the Dual number) and all 8 Proto-Thuado-Thrismaran grammatical cases:

  • Masculine
    • Masculine animate - 4 inflection patterns
    • Masculine inanimate - 4 inflection patterns
  • Feminine - 4 inflection patterns
  • Neuter - 4 inflection patterns
  • Indifferent (that is not a gender, but a lack of gender) - 2 inflection patterns

Adjectives

There are 4 inflection patterns for adjectives, being a combination of hard/soft and descriptivity/possessivity:

  • Descriptive soft
  • Descriptive hard
  • Possessive soft
  • Possessive hard

In the declinations of adjectives, Vocative has merged with Nominative.

  • Ty (GEN Tebe) - You
  • Өn (GEN Ƞej/Jego/Jeho) - He/Him

Numbers

Until 1970's, Zhousheng used dozenal numerical system, substituting 10 a 11 with ᚴ and ⵒ. The last symbol used was so called "Cyclic symbol", which was used for twelve-step cycles and sets of twelve parts, which was written as ᘐ.

This system can be still seen for example on the Zhoushi clock faces, which are still using the old system, writing it as 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-ᚴ-ⵒ-ᘐ.
