	'''Tumachee'''(''yûkka ~~tûmaḫ~~''; <small>Tumachee:</small> [[Help:IPA\|[ʝúkʲɑ dúmɑx]]]) is a Tumachic language spoken by the Tumachee people in the fictional He-who-uses-the-loom River Basin(Tumachee: ''~~Kumâḫâ Keḫôskibân~~'') and the coast of the He-who-irrigates Lake(''~~Kumâziḫâ~~ Gzînbân'') of the North-western United States.

'''Tumachee'''(''yûkka tûmax''; <small>Tumachee:</small> [[Help:IPA\|[ʝúkʲɑ dúmɑx]]]) is a Tumachic language spoken by the Tumachee people in the fictional He-who-uses-the-loom River Basin(Tumachee: ''Kumâxâ Kexôskibân'') and the coast of the He-who-irrigates Lake(''Kumâzixâ Gzînbân'') of the North-western United States.

	===Endonym===		===Endonym===
	The Tumachee endonym, ''~~tûmaḫ~~'', is probably derived from the Proto-Tumachic word ''dúmh₂s'', which means "wide prairie, lowland". As the ancient(and modern) Tumachee lived in relatively low-lying areas like river basins, this may explain the reason for it becoming an endonym. The Tumachee and Gzuwê words for "lowland" are also derived from ''dúmh₂s'': Tumachee ''~~tumîḫi~~'' and Gzuwê ''ttumiz''.

	Traditionally, the Tumachee people have assigned mononyms to newborn children.

For example, the word and name "Ox-like-the-water" would be ''Kîkwisyigûn''(''lit.'' ox.<small>NOM</small>-water.<small>ADJ</small>), with ''-yigûn'' being the suffix form of ''yîlgos'', water.

	=====Noun forms=====		=====Noun forms=====
	All the personal pronouns in Tumachee also act as nouns, as in ''bân'' can mean "he(singular)" or "one man". Other forms are a bit less logical: ''mikkê'' can mean "you(singular)" but also "any one person other than the speaker", or in other words, "an other person". Tumachee personal pronouns' suffix forms are also the same as their stems, so for example ''ôn'' can also be suffix ''-ôn''. In this way, along with rules regarding adjectives, one can create an agglutinate mononym for practically anything, such as ''~~Ûrberûrḫês~~'', "Woman who makes soil", or ''Gzêkukzôbâniu'', "(Group of) men who like food". Many words are agglutinated this way: for example, the word for "Buddhist monk" is ''udgzîmkzôzunubân'', or "holy man who likes solitude", and the archaic word for "king" was ''~~Tumîḫiwenembân~~'', or "man who owns the prairie".

	Like in German, Tumachee has the ability of creating new words by adding existing words together.

			==History==
			Proto-Tumachic, the reconstructed ancestor of the two Tumachic languages, emerged around 600-700 years ago in modern-day Utah. Around 400 years ago, small populations that would eventually become the Tumachee would migrate west to the He-who-uses-the-loom River Basin, where they would settle in the lowland areas, as opposed to their distant mountain cousins in Utah, the Gzuwê.

	'''Tumachee'''(''yûkka ~~tûmaḩ~~''; <small>Tumachee:</small> [[Help:IPA\|[ʝúkʲɑ dúmɑɧ]]]) is a Tumachic language spoken by the Tumachee people in the fictional He-who-uses-the-loom River Basin(Tumachee: ''~~Kumâḩâ Keḩôskibân~~'') and the coast of the He-who-irrigates Lake(''~~Kumâziḩâ~~ Gzînbân'') of the North-western United States.

	===Endonym===		===Endonym===
	The Tumachee endonym, ''~~tûmaḩ~~'', is probably derived from the Proto-Tumachic word ''dúmh₂s'', which means "wide prairie, lowland". As the ancient(and modern) Tumachee lived in relatively low-lying areas like river basins, this may explain the reason for it becoming an endonym. The Tumachee and Gzuwê words for "lowland" are also derived from ''dúmh₂s'': Tumachee ''~~tumîḩi~~'' and Gzuwê ''ttumiz''.

	The English exonym ''Tumachee'' has an origin in the language of the now extinct Jikiha(Tumachee: ''Gzîkka'') tribe, who were the first members of the Sleeping Bull Confederacy to interact with British colonisers. The Jikiha exchanged information on the other tribes and peoples in Sleeping Bull, and probably referred to the Tumachee people as ''tú(ð)máki'', which is a plural form of ''tú(ð)mág'', which was then loaned into English as initially ''Toumacke'' or ''Tumacki'' and then finally into ''Tumachee''.

	Traditionally, the Tumachee people have assigned mononyms to newborn children.

	All nouns in Tumachee have their own adjective form, which is usually manifested in an agglutinate suffix form like ''-~~miḩ~~''. Each noun has their own unique adjective/suffix form, meaning you could make basically any word by agglutinating a noun and a noun-derived suffix. For example, the word and name "Ox-like-the-water" would be ''Kîkwisyigûn''(''lit.'' ox.<small>NOM</small>-water.<small>ADJ</small>), with ''-yigûn'' being the suffix form of ''yîlgos'', water.

	All the personal pronouns in Tumachee also act as nouns, as in ''bân'' can mean "he(singular)" or "one man". Other forms are a bit less logical: ''mikkê'' can mean "you(singular)" but also "any one person other than the speaker", or in other words, "an other person". Tumachee personal pronouns' suffix forms are also the same as their stems, so for example ''ôn'' can also be suffix ''-ôn''. In this way, along with rules regarding adjectives, one can create an agglutinate mononym for practically anything, such as ''~~Ûrberûrḩês~~'', "Woman who makes soil", or ''Gzêkukzôbâniu'', "(Group of) men who like food". Many words are agglutinated this way: for example, the word for "Buddhist monk" is ''udgzîmkzôzunubân'', or "holy man who likes solitude", and the archaic word for "king" was ''~~Tumîḩiwenembân~~'', or "man who owns the prairie".
