Uniqueness	Syntax is VSO with some twists; prepositions affect verbs' tenses, moods, and aspects. There are two copulas: one which answers how something is (e.g. condition, location, size, color, quality) and the other what something is (e.g., classification, identification, also used for creating a question). Denisian also has two copulas for the verb "have": one that's for the object and one for sickness, conditions, and traits. Of course, it has lenition and eclipsis, which is common in Celtic tongues. The language is in use on a conworld. The language also uses the middle voice.
Language Sources	Proto-Celtic, Irish, Welsh, with some French and German.
