About Qarisun
Qarisun is spoken as a minority language in the Thantonian kingdom and as a majority language in many orc kingdoms. It evolved from a creole that was created by Thantonian and Kokozian(an orc kingdom) soldiers to allow intercommunication. This creole evolved over years picking up features from both Thantos(sex-based gender, VSO word order) and Orcish(uvular continuants, verbal mood) as well as certain irregular forms being carried over from both over time.
Features
-VSO word order
-articles marked by affixes
-sex-based gender
-agglutinative
-NOM/ACC
-person marking on verbs
-Arabic writing system(known as Orc writing or qotuniza)
Pronouns
Pronouns are formed from the following:
-1st nominalized alone(can also be depressingly translated as "loneliness")
-2nd listener(gender can be changed by following the rules in the "adjective agreement" table)
-3rdM man/boy
-3rdF woman/girl
-3rdN person/child/thing
pronouns can't be marked with articles, which allows them to be differentiated from the nouns.
