Prezantin - Introduction

Thorsutian, a constructed language, contains an Indo-European influence. It's grammatical influences stem from many European language including Czech and Armenian. It's orthography influences come from Albanian and other European languages (mostly Slavic). This being the third conlang, I personally strived to make a conlang not have a very complicated grammatical structure so it would be easier to use and learn, but still retain that kind of structure. In a way Thorsutian is connected to my previous conlang, Musmeh. However, there are many differences and revisions enough to classify it as a different language. Thorsutian is the official language of the Republic of Thorsutia.

The cases are:

Nominative

Vocative is always the same as nominative so I will pardon it. For expressing words in a locative or dative manner you use prepositions which I will provide for you later in the text.

Pretty straight forward, there are some pattern and correlations between the declining sequence that might help you remember. An important thing to remember is that in the feminine accusative is always the same as its nominative respectively. There are a few exceptions for masculine and feminine endings. As you see there are only one way of conjugating verbs in the masculine and feminine way.

The ablative case expresses:

with the boy

by the boy

in the city” – use “tho” before the word

out of the city” – use “el” before the word
