Adzamasi on CWS

The Adzamasi language is the official language of Tabiqa and is spoken by over ## million people, mostly in Ekuosia. It is a polysynthetic direct-inverse language based around a complex animacy hierarchy, and its primary verbal deixis is spatial rather than temporal. Its morphology and syntax were inspired by a variety of Canadian First Nations languages including Blackfoot and Coast Salish, and its phonology mostly by Turkish.

Adzamasi's ancestor language Adzamic is currently being developed, and Adzamasi itself will undergo some changes in light of this.
