About Bashistanic Bashistan is the land of the Holy Bashi, and Bashistanic is the language for it!
Inspired by Saparmyrat Nyýazow's Turkmenistan, Bashistan is the greatest and best country on earth (in terms personal cult only).
The most interesting part of Bashistanic shall be the grammar. In many different ways it shows how important the Holy Bashi is for the Bashistanic people:
  • The word Bashâ (and its forms) are one of the few words that begin with a capital letter. They are even written with capital if they take prefixes, example: mâqBashâ.
  • There is no grammatical number system, but rather nouns decline on how much the Bashi likes them.
  • Verbs conjugate (among other things) according to Bashi approval of what is done.
  • Stress is always on the first syllable, but if Bashâ or one of its forms take prefixes, the stress remains on the first syllable of Bashâ: mâqBashâ [meɪkˈbaʃeɪ].
