Like our Slavic, Albionian has masculine, feminine and neuter genders, and has the same gender markers as our Slavic. (For forms for enbies, see [[Albionian/Nonbinary forms]]).
Like our Slavic, Albionian has masculine, feminine and neuter genders, and has the same gender markers as our Slavic. Gender-neutral forms are sometimes created by concatenating masculine and feminine endings.


Modern Standard Albionian nouns and adjectives have retained five of the seven Proto-Slavic cases: nominative (''nominatỉv''), dative (''datỉv''), genitive (''genitỉv''), allative (''allatỉv'') from the PSlav accusative after prepositions, and vocative (''vocatỉv''). (Dialects differ in the number of cases; some conservative dialects retain all 7 Proto-Slavic cases, while some dialects, particularly in the New World, have lost case entirely.) The nominative is used for both subjects and direct objects; the dative fills the role of dative nouns and after some prepositions in our Slavic languages. The instrumental (''instrumentởl'') is semi-productive in forming adverbs and expressions, e.g. ''prawdau'' 'really'; ''beagem'' 'during'; ''wuzglyndem'' 'owing to, in view of'; ''pomơthỉ'' 'with, using'; ''ynỷmi slowy'' 'in other words'.
