Kezhwa Grammar
Kezhwa is a language with both analytic and agglutinative features.
Background
In the comic books that serve as a basis for Paper Girls, the time travelers are shown speaking in characters which are a simple one-to-one substitution cipher of English, which was intended for readers to be able to decode it. The studio, as well as the Petersons, wanted to maintain the spirit of the original cipher—a type of code that could be broken—without it being an actual cipher. Their vision was to create type of creole that borrowed words from languages all over the world at any time in history. These borrowings were then adapted to Kezhwa's phonology, which is a priori, as well as its grammatical system. The meanings of these borrowings were generally modified in some way, and assigned to an associated, but not identical, concept or phenomenon.
Nouns
Nouns are marked for definiteness and number. Nouns may be either definite or indefinite, as well as singular or plural.
