Aŝan

DATE	2007ish - 2012ish??
GENERAL RULES	No adjectives, only verbs and nouns. Three grammatical genders.
RELATED	Eloa world-building page Xema Bys-sáma Rac,mamoqei

Aŝan was one of my very first conlangs that I took seriously. Before this, I'd mostly just made "languages" that were direct translations of English and didn't have their own grammar or concepts. Aŝan is also the very first language I put together for the same world as Xema and Rac,mamoqei. Aŝan and Xema are both spoken by Elves but their cultures and usage are very different.

There's not much more for Aŝan than what I have here sadly. I either didn't develop it very far or have lost my original notes.

Pronouns

Aŝan is not a pronoun-initial language; all pronoun information is contained within the verb. However Aŝan culture does have three gender identities as well as grammatical genders: apud, depad, and veghad.

Verbs
