Just some quick stuff written out simply because I'm lazy and have enough work here already--[/font][li] Sentences are structured like English, because I'm lazy.[/li][li] Infinitive verbs end in -syn or -xyn. Verbs conjugate from that noun according to a table later in the post. There are no genders for nouns or conjugations because I'm too lazy.[/li][li] There is no 'formal' way to say things, but usually casual speech is much more flowing and less enunciated than formal speech. Formal speech is very clearly accented, and creates a much sharper but still just as elegant language.[/li] [/ul] VERB ENDINGS TABLEAll of these assume that the s or x will still be present. For perfect and perfect continuous tenses, simply add the appropriate tense for to have/to be with the appropriately conjugated verb.
FORM | PRESENT | PAST | FUTURE | CONTINUOUS | I | la | ka | ra | hraang | You | lho | kho | rhu | hrung | He/She/It | lei | kei | rei | hreng | They | liye | kr'ai | ri/rii | dii | We | lr'aa | kass | rhas | draas |
No irregulars unless otherwise stated because I'm lazy.

VOCABULARY
Now things start getting harder to cop out of.
PRONOUNS-----------------------------------------------
ENGLISH | NOMINATIVE | ACCUSATIVE/OBJECT | POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE | POSSESSIVE PRONOUN | REFLEXIVE | Example | he | him | his | his | himself | I | fae | faen | feir | feihrs | faaer | You | rru | rruhn | rrurr | rruhrrs | rrah'ur | It | dei | dein | deir | deihrs | deiiur | She | dai | dayn | dayr | dayhrs | daeir | He | du | duun | duur | duuhrrs | du'ur | They | vrruh | vruhn | frur | fruurs | vrr'ur | We | vasht | vashtn | vashtr | vashtan | vaersht |
VERBS-----------------------------------------------
- Xyn: to be
- Asyn: to have
- Vraxyn: to comprehend
- Elaeisyn: to perform the act of coitus (thanks Teapot for making this literally the first Promethaen verb to ever be used)
NOUNS-----------------------------------------------
- Promethaen: literally 'enlightened one.' A race of rather pretentious shapeshifting dragons.
- Dhovrai/dhovrayn: a species of ugly creatures from the Promethaen homeworld that subsisted off of eating the dung of others. They have long been removed from the wild and bred selectively for historic purposes, only a few kept alive at each time, as there are more than enough stored DNA sequences of their species to bring it back effectively. Not that, judging from the fact that they are still used in an offensive oath today, the Promethaen would be inclined to do so.
ADJECTIVES-----------------------------------------------
ADVERBS-----------------------------------------------

you made he du that's german for you i am going to be so confused
I'm just sad that there's no genitive case. Genitive is fun. (Well, for me. Sane people would disagree.)
From what I'm gathering the language is almost music like, with a hint of Asian-Germanic love children in it. Promethaen is strangely Latin and out of place but whatevs. Unless we wanted an Asian-German-Latin threesome?That would be fun.
I have a teeny, tiny question though. Am I conjugating this right? (CONJUGATION IS HARD I WOULD KNOW I'M A GERMAN TRYING TO LEARN LATIN.)
Fae xla. Fae xka. Fae xra. Fae xhRAANG.
I ask because xka is very, uhm. Throaty. (Ksska. Ksska. I mean, I like it, but...) Perhaps for those situations we have a placeholder vowel so no tongues are broken? (This is how German works. Verboten would become verbotet, because trying to pronounce verbot't would hurt.) Unless Promethaen have tongues that are more flexible. In which case we should now. For. Scientific reasons. /cough

lawl yeah science uh-huh are you thinking about snogging a promethaen now
uh no xyn is conjugated literally as just the endings i made it xyn because normally -xyn is an ending and this time around it's like no prefix

All right, so we clearly need some basic words. Greetings, farewells, pleases, thank yous, all that simple stuff. Greetings would mostly be dripped in culture, but a words for 'hello' would be nice to start. (Or 'well met' or whatever Promethaen use to great each other.)
Hello would be rather simple, but needs to be something you could eventually just roll off the tongue. (I really like the sound of khula drru'ta for like, good day or something, but I'm still trying to understand these phonetics aaaaa.)
Something I still don't get. -xyn and -syn are endings, but you state "All of these assume that the s or x will still be present" for the conjugation table. Does this mean 'Xyn' is jsut the exception to that rule, or does that apply to all and I'm just reading it wrong? (So would it be "fae asla" or "fae ala"?)

Also from the Cbox that might be important: Z can be pronounced with the hard "z" sound. It's just like we pronounce "z" as "zee," whereas they pronounce it as "sed."
I should really work that out because yeah I don't remember writing that.

So they're European. Got it.
And yeah, that's why I originally conjugated xyn like I did. ;~; why do you torment me this way opal

I'm goign to say that whether the x or s is present depends on the verb, because i can see it being prettier that way sometimes and prettier without the s/x other times. YAY FOR WEIRD CONJUGATIONS
