| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''Tsjoenz-blotp''; sometimes affectionately called ''tsje-blotp'' 'the ''tsje'' language', referring to the "unusual" sound [!] represented by ''tsj'') is a modern descendant of [[Myuftseezh]] and a lingua franca of Xjeof. It's inspired aesthetically by Swedish and Sino-Korean words.

| ==Morphology==
| |
| Chick Corean grammar is mostly analytic and SVO.
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| Chick Corean nouns do not inflect for number but take possessive prefixes for ''inalienable'' possession. Definite articles exist for various noun classes, inflect in singular and plural forms, and take possessive prefixes. Articles with possessive prefixes mark ''alienable'' possession.
| |
|
| |
| Inalienable possession is most commonly used for family members, body parts and inherent properties but can mark other nuances as well, such as "unique possession" (''seotsveo tsjaspjels''). As an example, ''xjeotijeo'' 'my proof' (using inalienable possession) might imply that I am the one who proved the theorem, whereas ''xmae eotijeo'' (with alienable possession) would carry no such overtones.
