''Alfinu'' is a romance languages spoken in the Alps. It is a rather conservative language since it retains four cases and three genders, unlike most other Romance languages. Its phonology is also rather conservative - the most notable dinstinction is the lack of Romance palatalisations since only the first palatalisation applies (a feature shared with Sardinian) and vowel changes, but there are several peculiar phonological innovations. Another feature shared with Sardinian are the Alfinu definite articles: they are derived from Latin ''ipse'' rather than ''ille'' as it's the case with other Romance languages. | '''Alfinu''' is a romance languages spoken in the Alps.

===Verbs=== | ===Verbs=== | ||
Verbs are relatively well inflected, similar to the verbal system of Italian or Spanish. There are three conjugations: '''-are''', '''-ere''', and '''-ire'''. The system has been somewhat symplified nonetheless; for example, the Latin second and third conjugations have merged into a signle paradigm, and as Romance languages go, there are no special passive forms. Apart from the indicative, Alfinu has three other moods: subjunctive, conditional, and imperative. In total, eight tenses are formed synthetically across the moods (not counting the imperative); four in the indicative, one in the conditional, and three in the subjunctive. Aside from that, there are several tenses formed periphrastically. | |||
