About Classical Dulinian
Ancient language of the once vast, imperialist Dulinian Empire (this is the language spoken a few hundred years before the rise and fall of the Empire). Pretty average, basic language. Phonology is partially inspired by Hungarian. Free word order (subject comes before object in day-to-day use), thoroughly head-initial. Stress is on the first syllable unless the second syllable has a long vowel. Ancestor of several modern languages.
