Script
For our purposes, Âsti will be written using the Latin alphabet. (Note: Because the (mostly illeterate) speakers of the language live in a world where the Latin alphabet does not exist, in the rare cases that Âsti is written down by a native speaker, an adaptation of the common Ðanmarc Alphabet is used.) The general rules of pronunciation follow:
- a
Grammar
Nouns
N A SN -ē PL -a -o SP -ez -ēz PP -u -u
- N = nominative; A = accusative
- SN = singular; PL = plural; SP = singular possessive; PP = plural possessive
Verbs
PF PR F -aav -av -am PR -aaz -az -an P -ēg -eg -eŋ
- PF = perfect; PR = progressive

Adjectives and adverbs
Basic Pronouns
- Va: I
- Ti: We (exclusive)
- Zi: We (inclusive)
- Da: You (singular)
- Ri: You (plural)
- Pa: He
- Sa: She
- Ca: [E]*
- Ta: It
- Ci: They
- Note: English has no exact equivalent to Aasti Ca, which is a third person singular pronoun of indefinite gender (sometimes a singular they is used to informally fill this gap).
- The forms shown here are subject forms. Objects are formed by changing the final a to an o, or i to ē. Possessive pronouns are formed by adding a final -r.
