Fortunatian
Fortunatian is a Romance language, with Etruscan and Guanche substrates, spoken in the Fortunate Islands (our world's Canary Islands) in the Fortunate Islands Universe. This is a description of Classical Fortunatian (fl. 12c ACE).

Gender and Number
Fortunatian has no declension, but three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter) and two numbers (singular and plural). Note that the Classical Latin third declension has merged with the neuter of the second declension. Nouns and adjectives use the same ending. The root bon- "good" may be used to show the pattern.
xorbync bonync a good servant
huemnonc bononc a good woman
omnoc bonoc a good man (yes, 'man' is neuter)
xorbaux bonaux good servants
huemnax bonax good women
omnex bonex good men
