'''Cukish''' (''Livaléns'' in Cukish) is a Carjado-Matrélikish language that originated in the [[Oblivion Islands]] at some point between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, after which it was spread to the New Leganés archipelago approximately at 6th century AD. It is one of the three official languages of the [[New Leganes|Cooperative Commonwealth of
==History==
===Etymology===
The most plausible origin for the Staynish word "Cukish" is a borrowing from the word ''çéqi'' ("island") and its older forms ''chwéqir'' and ''cohwéqir''. The term ''chwéqirle''(''t'') ("from/proper of the islands") was a common demonym in Cukish texts dating from the 9th to 15th centuries, when it became less frequent in favour of the current standard ''Livaléns''. ''Livaléns'', on the other hand, means "the new people": the term was used in the 1275 Nárilethál for the first time, referring to the arrival of the Cukish to the New Leganes archipelago.

===Pronouns===
'''Pure case (nominative-accusative)''':
* 1st sing: Véi/Yo<ref>"Yo" and "tu" are loanwords from Impelanzan used as 1st and 2nd singular pronouns in the Privéte and Shonerian variants of Cukish. These forms do not affect the regular use of personal suffixes.</ref>
* 2nd sing:
* 3rd sing: Véo
* 1st plur: Véri

===Verbs===
The Cukish verbal system is based mostly on prefixation and suffixation to indicate all the elements the verbal action refers to: tense, mood, aspect, voice and person. This can lead to verbs with multiple morphemes that make Cukish to be classified in this regard as
Tense is indicated by prefixes. Current day Cukish has three tenses: present, past and future, with the last two marked by their respective prefixes (do- and ka-). They contrast with the present form which doesn't use any prefix, hence being the basic verbal form. The past and future prefixes were in old Cukish marked by the auxiliar forms "dau" and "kad", but progressively they got integrated as prefixes due to their natural use together with the verb in all contexts.

==Vocabulary==
===Word creation===
The suffix -ma indicates a projection of a certain concept into another concept, most usually abstract. In this sense, the suffix -ma is found in the word "istárema", meaning "group of loved ones" or "family" from the original word "istáre", "love".
===Numerals===
The Cukish numeral for "one", éhwi, shows the original root, unlike the rest of numerals, which have the plural suffix -r. The first ten are the following:
Line 261 ⟶ 273:
Thanks: '''Dáni''' ("I am thankful")
Thank you: '''
Thank you so much: '''Káler
Please: '''Si rádek/radérek''' ("if it's possible for you" singular/plural)
