Callum's Germanic Sounding Language...

This was made by me about 2 and a bit years ago, when I was young and naive. Still it's a good bash at trying to create a language...do note it wasn't fully finished off.
Do note some of the theory regarding the verbs is flawed somewhat, but do enjoy the reading :)

Verbs

Rule/s: In 'Callum', endings for the 'to' form of verbs are either, 'ar', 'or', 'ur'...

As a general rule, 'ar' - what one can do, by oneself...without assistance (mental tasks), so, to think, to count, to say etc.(However expect exceptions.)

Examples;
Mindar - To think
Abousar - To count
Babblar - To say
Zaoustar - To wash
Faitar - To do
Hoplar - To jump
Moivar - To move
Sinktar - To sing
Dansar - To dance

General rule 2 'or' verbs, this is where something is needed to enforce the action that takes place. to write, to draw, to drive.

Examples;
Eschor - To write
Dessor - To draw
Divror - To drive
Tyschor - To type
Baustor - To burst
Plowor - To play



3 for 'ur', these are ways of being, and it's anything not covered by the first two types... to love, to be, to have.

Examples;
Lustur - To love
Aimur - To like
Draqur - To be
Holokur - To have
Needur - To need

For present tense, the 'to form' verb ending is dropped and is replaced with 'ig'. So this can be to say, 'counting'..or 'I count', so Je Abousig would be either, I count/or I am counting, applied context would give the meaning.

example verbs.
Abousig - Counting
Dessig - Drawing
Lustig - Loving etc.

The past tense

As a general rule, any verb put into the past tense, simple drops the 'to form' ending which is replaced with a 'ek'.

Examples
Abousek - Counted
Dessek - Drawn
Lustek - Loved

*in the case of two vowels touching a 'w' is added before the letter 'e' of 'ek'
eg. 'ar' verb, 'hikear'
to get past particible...
hikewek

Future tense

For the future tense forms, the infinitive is taken, but a prefix is added, the prefix equals the 'will', so eg, 'I will'.
for the future tense, depending on the infintive ending, a different prefix is added.

So AR verbs - Ra'
OR - Ro'
UR - Ru'

So examples are,
AR - Zaoustar = Ra'zaoust
OR - Tyschor = Ro'tysch
UR - Holokur = Ru'holok
to complete the future form, 'et' is added to the end,
so, AR - Ra'zaoustet
