Jāsen is a language spoken in the Scytheland (Jåland) of the northern reaches of the Kingdom of Danemark.
[[Category: Conlangs]]
It is extremely agglutinating, even countable as polysynthetic.<br>
[[Category: Sketchlangs]]
It is part of the Norrland Sprachbund of languages.<br>
[[Category: Fictional languages]]
As of 1971, Jāsen is the most spoken Norrlandish language still spoken primarily in Danish Norrland.

===Morphophonological Processes===
Morphophonemical processes occur in Jāsen, controlling its words and their forms.
 
====Crasis====
Jāsen has a simple crasis system, that applies to every vowel combination except those that are with /'''ɔ(:)'''/ (with one exception to the exception).
Crasis essentially works like this:
#Two vowels of the same quality, regardless of length, when coming together, collapse into an equivalent long vowel ('''|ɑɑ|'''>['''ɑ:'''])
#Two vowels of a differing quality, regardless of length, when neither is /'''ɔ(:)'''/, always collapse into a long vowel with the quality of the second
#When /'''ɔ(:)'''/ occurs before /'''ɨ(:)'''/, they collapse into /'''ɛ:'''/
#Elsewhere, the combinations are retained.
 
====Sonorification====
Jāsen has a process of sonorification, carrying a change of /s z/ > /r/ (Jāsen > Jāris). It is a morphological process, and therefore classically unpredictable by phonological processes.
 
====Other====
There are certain other changes in Jāsen, that do not fit into the general regular pattern. They are exclusively morphological, and occur with the numerous morphosyntactical constructions in the language.
The most notable ones are the "Fleeting vocalisation" and the numerous "Fleeting spirants".
 
==Grammar==
This is where the basic grammar of Jāsen is, involving morphology, syntax, pragmatics and other topics.
 
===Typology===
 
Jāsen is like every Norrlandish language known, except for Kula Īsen, very agglutinating. It is also usually considered polysynthetic, although it fails to live up to certain criteria.
 
===Nominal===
 
Nominal.
 
===Verbal===
====Basics====
Each verb has at its core a stem to inflect, that carries the word's basic meaning. The stem can be of any size.
Roots being stems must always be CVC.
Verbs are inflected by adding prefixes and suffixes.
 
====Object Agreement====
 
Each verb in Jāsen has two obligatory object agreement markers, carrying number and gender.
{|class=wikitable style=text-align:center
!colspan=3|Template
|-
|0
| +1
| +2
|-
|'''ROOT'''
| -NUMBR
| -GENDR
|}
 
These suffixes are (almost) always attached to the verb, even though sometimes they're not as obvious.
 
{|class=wikitable style=text-align:center

| -ō
|-
!Feminine
| -m
| -sē
| -
|-
!Liquid
| -ehng
| -eqqē
| -eq
|}
 
These are left out only when the object itself inflects for gender and number - this is completely up to the speaker, and is sometimes used for emphasis. This causes problems when the object is a null morpheme, taking null suffixes.
