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.

Nouns have two genders, masculine and feminine. There is a certain pattern though in recognizing those words.

The cases are:

Nominative

The pen

Genetive

The pen's

Accusative

I used the pen

Ablative

with the pen

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.

Masculine nouns will always end in constanants (d, ç, s, t, r, n, k)

Ablative: marodu
