Simuír
Simuír is my first artlang, and so I wanted to do some exploring with various things.
Biggest features:
- Two primary word orders, OVS and SVO, with SVO used only for formal speech
- Three noun classes/genders, Celestial, Terrestrial, and Aquatic
- Some fun with evidentiality (eventually)
- Duodecimal counting system
- Vowel-centric/reverse abugida writing system
