The Alphabet

Basic Grammar Rules

The Locibarpulan language follows a basic sentence structure of object-subject-verb. For example, the English sentence, "Jason throws the ball," in the sentence structure of Locibarpulan would be, "The ball Jason throws."
Additionally, in Locibarpulan, plurality and time are determined by additional words rather than conjugation. For example, "Jason threw the balls," would be, "Many of the ball Jason throws in the past." The structure for this rule is number of object-object-number of subject-subject-verb-tense.
