About Sékyoj
Sékyoj is an artlang for a webcomic. It functions as a language spoken across an alien planet, Karogyko, and is taught universally as a method of consistent communication between all cultures on the planet. (With the preservation of other Karogykan languages simultaneously occurring).
Some Features
The basic word order of Sékyoj is VOS.
Due to the alien species containing nine fingers (five on one hand and four on the other), they use a base nine number system.
Adjectives can function like verbs which makes them copular (conjugating an adjective functions like saying "to be (adjective)").
There tends to be a lack of gendered words with some exceptions. There are words like male, female, etc., but titles, names, and most other words have no gender attached to them, (i.e., there is no word for sister or brother, only sibling). This includes all pronouns being genderless.
Verbs generally conjugate into two states (affirmative and negative), four moods (indicative, interrogative, potential, and imperative), and three tenses (simple past, simple present, and simple future). There are three different sets of conjugative forms for tangible agents, intangible agents, and habitual actions.
