The language of Shackadilian is predominately spoken in the nation of Seoshackdak. It is similar to many other Latin-based languages, but the grammar is in many ways different.
Basic Grammar
In Shackadilian adjectives come after the noun, (Similar to languages such as French and Spanish) however, the words yoho and era(s) are added to start and finish adjectives. Also, prepositions are used differently, much like prefixes.
An example would be:
Fimasse jar geurr! "I fight for God!"
"Fi" means "for" and "masse" means "God"*
- Due to the nature of Seoshackadilian culture, masse does not actually mean "God" as most would relate. In the general beliefs set up, God is more like a type of emotion felt. Therefore, masse literally means something like "positive emotions felt deeply".
An example of the way adjectives are used:
Singular adjective:
Foxe yoho dreja eras jura orro canta.
"The red fox jumped over the dog."
Plural adjective:
Foxe yoho dreja rapi era jura orro canta.
"The quick red fox jumped over the dog."
- Note the difference between eras and era.
