Here comes the grand operation of messing around!

The name of this conlang means nameless.

Since I, as the author, can only conceptually distinguish between voiced and voiceless sounds and between aspirated and unaspirated sounds, here, as always, this is regarded as a normal sound change.

There are three vowels: [a], [i], and [u]. Long and short vowels do not differentiate meaning, so they are not considered here. In addition, there are the semivowels [j] and [w].

Grammar

Noun

Good news, the base form of nouns and verbs is the same. Bad news, LangBox's declensions and conjugations have ruined everything.

Declensions of smk(smoke)

	sin.	pl.
Nominative	samak	samaks
Accusative	sarmak	sarmaks
Genitive	samik	samiks

Luckily, because I'm lazy, I just assume that even though all nouns are inflected, they're all regular.

Verb

	Single		Plural
Present	yakrat	yapak	yakratur	yapakur
Past	caqrat	capak	caqratur	capakur
Future	yalakrat	yalapak	yalakratur	yalapakur

Tense and aspect

The progressive tense of a verb is marked by adding the infix -j- after the first syllable. For example, the progressive tense of caqratur is cajqratur.

Adjective and Adverb

General adjectives are directly marked with the suffix ~ing on the nominative singular form of a noun, which is roughly equivalent to the English ~ful. For example, Samaking means smoky. There are also adjectives marked with ~ud, which is equivalent to the English ~able, such as Lawakud, which means visible.

Adverbs, on the other hand, are based on the accusative singular form of a noun. The adverb forms of the two examples above are Sarmaking and Larwakud.

Syntax

Conjunction

The usage of 「而」 in Classical Chinese is very diverse. In this language, there is a word similar in usage to 「而」: bud. It can indicate coordination(and), , progression(moreover), consequence(so), contrast(but), and even hypothesis(if).

You see, Classical Chinese is just that magical. As for what exactly bud means, please guess based on the context.
