The '''Caseyan Language''' (Caseyan: Кăзèйски езыкэнзy [[KAPSKer Industrie-Norm/9201-2|''Kăzèjski jezïkənzu'']] [kɐˈzɛjski jɛzɨkənzu]) is a constructed language spoken in eastern [[Antarctica (Continent)|Antarctica]] — most notably [[Casey]] where it was also first observed in. It is one of the first known indigenous Antarctican languages and has official status in Casey. It's a mostly religious and poetic language.

The language's vocabulary is largely derived from a plethora of languages such as Russian, Icelandic, German, Toki Pona, Ukrainian and Italian. It is written in the Caseyan alphabet.

== Grammar ==

The Caseyan grammar is inspired by slavic languages and therefore highly inflecting. In inflecting languages the appearance of a word is changed according to grammatical categories by the means of the addition of affixes or the changing of the word stem. Caseyan only utilizes the former but does this intensively. That is why word endings are usually made up of two or more parts.

The Caseyan grammar is inspired by slavic languages and therefore highly inflecting. In inflecting languages the appearance of a word is changed according to grammatical categories by the means of the addition of affixes or the changing of the word stem. Caseyan only utilizes the former but does this intensively. That is why word endings are usually made up of two or more parts. Caseyan de facto lacks grammatical gender, as every inanimate object and non-human lifeform is male by default. The grammatical gender only changes with humans and named animals/pets according to the biological gender (sexus). If a person's sexus is unknown, they are considered neuter.

In Caseyan nouns, adflecatives/adjectives and verbs are almost always derived from a part of speech, that is unique to Caseyan: the Inflecative. An Inflecative usually has at least three meanings that can be expressed by inflecting the Inflecative accordingly, i.e. adding the nominal/verbal/adjectival ending to the Inflecative. For example: дōм (house, to live in sth., inhabited) → дōмэнзy (the house); йа дōмÿтно (I live); дōмλи/дōмзă (inhabited).

===Declination===

Nouns, adjectives and pronouns are declined to the corresponding case, number and level of comparison (if needed). Caseyan has two numbers: Singular and Plural, which are represented by the -эн- and -ка- infix respectively. Comparing adjectives has three forms: the positive with no dedicated ending, the comparative (ending -кио) and the superlative (ending -çö) in ascending order. Caseyan has eight cases, which are represented differently across different parts of speech:

=== Conjugation ===

Caseyan verbs are conjugated according to the genus verbi (active/passive) and the tense (tempus). Unlike many other languages, Caseyan only distinguishes between three tenses: Present tense (Прèсèнс), Past tense (Прèтèритyм) and Future tense (Фyтyр). Conjugation into a corresponding person does not take place, instead another word (e.g. a pronoun) is added in front of the verb. To form the imperative, ''-те'' is added to the inflecative in active and ''-евте'' in passive.

=== ~~Parts of Speech and their grammatical categories~~ ===

=== Proper names ===

~~wip~~

Proper are roughly declined like nouns, except that they dont have any singular or nominative ending. In Nominative Singular the word stays the same and in every Singular form only the case ending is added.

=== Syntax ===

Casey is highly inflecting, so every declined/conjucated form of a word is usually unique and matches with only one grammatical category. Because of this, the word order in sentences is not as important as in English. While the standard word order is Subject-Verb-Object, this order is often changed for emphasis, lyrical rhythm or ease of rhyme-finding. This only really works without difficulties in short sentences though, as certain multi-clause sentences require a specific word order. When saying "Bernhard loves Jessica" in English, the meaning of the sentence can be changed by simply shuffling around the words, so "Jessica loves Bernhard" would change the sentence's semantics drastically, because the proper names ''Bernhard'' and ''Jessica'' don't have any features that indicate whether they are subject or object, although this could technically be resolved by using stress in spoken language. All of this does not apply to Caseyan. In the sentence "Бèрнхард λиyбÿтно Дшèсикăио" ''Bèrnkhard liubütno Džèsikaio'' ("Bernhard loves Jessica") the ending –ио indicates that ''Дшèсикă'' is the object in this sentence. This allows the speaker to change the word order to e.g. "Дшèсикăио λиyбÿтно Бèрнхард" ''Džèsikaio liubütno Bèrnkhard'' ("''Jessica'' loves Bernhard"). This easily works in simple sentences like this, however in longer sentences the speaker might be somewhat limited, for it must be clear what noun is responsible for what verb. The only way to figure this out is intuition.
