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'
