.: [ Kata'veraino˚ Monat Jhaxe Ei'kor newatitsu˚
~~ ~~
Good Day. My name is Jhaxe.
And this is Ave'kersha.
Technically, the 'Old Language' if translated literally, it is just that. In it's time, it was simply called 'kersha', the language, until a 'Nova'kersha', a new language, came to be.
Well, that's the story in the fantasy novel I'm creating this for anyway.
This is my first conlang, so I don't have very much of it done yet. However, I'll be periodically updating it with words, phrases, and rules, and hopefully, it will develop into a full language. ] :.

Verb Tenses
[ The best thing about Ave'kersha is its lack of conjugations. Yep. No conjugations. Just the tenses. But the verbs don't change no matter what the noun is. =D ]
"at" - present tense
"et" - past tense
"utch" - future tense
Negative
Add "ôr"
Examples:
Mon - to be
Monat - is/are/am
Monet - was/were
Monutch - will be
~
Monatôr - is/are/am not
Monetôr - was/were not
Monutchôr - will not be

Grammar Patterns
Subject Patterns
Subjects are ALWAYS the last words in the sentence. No Exceptions.
Two Subjects
Two Subjects are simple. Simply add taka in between them. It doesn't matter which one comes first.
Subject Adjectives?
In the case of the subject, Adjectives will always come before the subject, separated by an apostrophe (').
Direct Objects
Direct objects ALWAYS come before the Subject.
Two Direct Objects
Two Direct objects are separated the same way as Subjects, by taka.
DO Adjectives?
This works the same as Subjects, as the Adjectives come before the DO, separated by an apostrophe (').
Lone Adjectives
Saying that a 'Subject is Adjective' is quite simple. The Adjective simply stands in for the DO, coming before the Subject.
Two Lone Adjectives?
Two lone Adjectives are separated by Je.
Adverbs
Adverbs will ALWAYS come before BOTH Verbs and Adjectives, separated by an apostrophe (').
Verbs
Verbs come at the beginning of the sentence, as in Ave'kersha, 'what is happening is more important that who is making it happen'.
Verbs are only preceded by conjunctions and adverbs.
Two Verbs
Verbs are separated by ti.
Verbs forms have previously been discussed
Location
Locations come after the verb, but before the DO.
Locations can be any words that mark an exact location or an object in reference to the location of the subject.
Time
Time words come after the Location/Verb and before the DO/Adjective.
Basic Grammar
1. [One Subject, One Verb.]
Verb Subject ˚
2. [One Subject, One Verb, One Adjective]
Verb Adjective Subject ˚
Verb Adjective'Subject ˚
3. [One Subject, One Verb, One Location]
Verb Location Subject˚
4. [One Subject, One Verb, One Location, One Time]
Verb Location Time Subject˚
[I'll add more as the language becomes more complex.]
