Language Typefictional diachronic language
UniquenessAronian is unique for several reasons. It has a complex case system with about fifteen cases, much like Finnish. Another peculiarity with relation to the Uralic family is that it inflects its verbs for 13 moods, many moods which eliminate the function of certain verbs in English. Its verb system is split up into four different groups which each have different methods of inflection: transitive, intransitive, bitransitive, and reflexive. The verbs do not inflect for tense, however there are separate auxiliary verbs used for tense. There is only one irregular verb - the pro-verb, which functions in much the same way as the English pro-verb: to do. What really makes the language unique is its verb system. It has three numbers - singular, dual, and plural, and even more unique is that it has four persons, the fourth being hypothetical along with other uses.
Language SourcesI try to make the language sound a lot like a mix between Turkish and Hungarian, while I include some Finnish influence as well (such as double consonants/vowels). Grammatically I would say the language is based on Uralic languages, or at least I am attempting to base it on this. There will be some French influence (mainly with object pronouns en/y) on the grammar, but very little.
Design PrinciplesI want the language to be naturalistic. It will have some irregularities, and I'm trying to give it a rich historical background through the etymology of words. The core vocabulary should be small compared to English because of the use of derivative suffixes and compound words.
Interest Of OthersAs of right now I'm the only one who is creating it, I'm not sure how many others are reading the site.
