About Torpasian
Torpasian is the name of the language I made (and yes, I just grabbed it from my alias). I made recent changes to it. First thing, the phonology and orthography are revised. Secondly, it now carries the typical Indo-European case system. Nouns, pronouns, articles, and adjectives decline on any one of five cases and whether or not it's singular or plural. Its verb conjugations are simplified in that they only distinguish tense and number, no longer the person. Its alphabet has a Slavic influence in which there is almost a one-to-one correspondence between letter and sound, making use of several diacritics to indicate change of sound (such as Czech). Its lexicon can have multiple sources, including from English or my native Philippine languages, and there are many words that I myself made up.
