Fith is a stack-based alien language invented by Jeffrey Henning. It is spoken by centauroid sapient marsupials on the planet Fithia.
LIFO Grammar
The grammar of Fith is based on a stack, which operates by the LIFO principle: last in, first out. Like, for instance, a stack of cards on which you can put a card on the top, or remove a card from the top.
Nouns
Nouns are simply pushed on the stack. For example, the noun zhong 'nation' followed by the noun hong 'man' give the following stack:
hong | 'man' |
zhong | 'nation' |
Adjectives
Adjectives modify the top element of the stack. For example, if the adjective lin 'loyal', the result is:
hong lin | 'loyal man' |
zhong | 'nation' |
Postpositions
A postposition connects the top element of the stack with the element below. Example lo 'of':
zhong hong lin lo | 'loyal man of the nation' |
