Semhudi

Semhudi is a unique language with a rich cultural history. It is believed to have originated from the ancient civilization that once inhabited the Fjysopath region, and has evolved over time through interactions with neighboring languages. Despite its small number of speakers, Semhudi has played a significant role in shaping the cultural identity of the people of Fjysopath, who take pride in their linguistic heritage. The language is featured in three out the twelve names of the boroughs of Felesia i.e. Pifiki, Fovaejos, and Iosiat. Despite its importance to the local culture, Semhudi is facing challenges from the growing dominance of more widely spoken languages, and efforts are being made to preserve and promote the language before it fades away. In Semhudi's early days, it was called Stemoshudi, but was later simplified to Semhudi after gender loss and other minor changes.

Grammar
Felesian has a distinction between animacy and inanimacy. In Proto-Semhudi, this distinction was present with gender. There were three genders: Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter. Over time, most animate and proper nouns were used in the masculine cases while inanimate nouns, including animals, were used with the feminine and neuter cases. Even after gender formed into animacy, animate nouns split into two parts: nouns and proper nouns. In order for a noun to be animate, it must be referring to people, Garfist items, sun, moon, sky, days, body parts, and minor exceptions. To be a proper noun, it must be a place, Garfist saint/character. In order for nouns to be inanimate, they must refer to animals or object, ideas, and concepts.

Reflexive Verbs
In order to have a sentence with a reflexive verb. you must remove the subject and lengthen the first vowel in the object, as they are the same thing.

Example: I love myself = Fjō oosm. (love 1st,sing.,masc.)

Applernian Dialect
The Applernian Dialect of Semhudi is a mix between Semhudi and Taernosi, a language spoken in Taernos, Tortuga. Not too long ago, the town of Apple Harbor was sold to Felesia. In the early days of Apple Harbor, it did not have its own identity yet. That changed when a Taernosi leader implemented his own culture into the town from across the peninsula. The language was adopted too. Now that Apple Harbor is inside of Felesia, Semhudi and Taernosi have been forced to mix together due to Semhudi's dominaced over the region.
