- Work in Progress::
Punterian (Pu: Anndophuuterrazzer) is a language that is spoken by approxametly ten million people in the mountain regions of Nova Latium. It has a very extensive alphabet although most texts are written in the Latin alphabet, which can make it seem longer than it is.

Grammar
Verbs
There are four amin endings in Punterian, then on top of these there are many irregular endings, many of these are derived from Latin or Greek, and follow their respective languages conjugations.
Conjugations
The first ending we will look at is the "zzde" ending, below are the conjugations of this form.
brraantzzde-to have, to conjugate it just remove "zde" and the endings which are in bold
brraantze-I have
brraantzke-you have
brraantzoi'-he, she, it has
brraantzze-we have
brraantzzke-you all have
brraantzzoi'-they have
The second ending is the "nokk" ending, again follow the same rules as above and just add the ending.
zzhuuncnokk-to drink (alcohol), this time only remove the very last "k".
zzhuuncnoki-I drink
zzhuuncnokssom-you drink
zzhuuncnokumo-he, she, it drinks
zzhuuncnokki-we drink
zzhuuncnokkssom-you all drink
zzhuuncnokkumo-they drink
The third ending is unlike the previous two, when conjugating you don't remove any bit of the ending. This ending ends with "arreu'".
nnomddarreu'-to consume (food and drinks), as stated above, leave the ending as it is.
nnomddarreu'on-I consume
nnomddarreu'llaam-you consume
nnomddarreu'zzmuo'-he, she, it consumes
nnomddarreu'oni-we consume
nnomddarreu'llaami-you all consume
nnomddarreu'zzmuo'i-they consume
The last set of endings are either the verb "to be" or verbs of foreign derivation.
ezznmo-to be, note, this verb is not used for existance, like when talking about location, I am over there, would actuly translate to I exist over there.
ezz-I am
nutzze-you are
zzot-he. she, it is
zze-we are
zzenut-you all are
toozz-they are
gau'leera-to conquer
gau'lo-I conquer
gau'laas-you conquer
gau'laat-he, she it, conquers
gau'laamuus-we conquer
gau'ltis-you all conquer
gau'laant-they conquer
Tenses

Nouns come in four ending, they are masculine, feminine, neuter, and either. Masculine nouns are used for thigs predominantly looked at as a man, feminine-women, neuter-neither, and either-possibly both (example, person).
