okay here begins my journey of learning two languages at once someone slap me

so mohawk has Too Many fucking pronouns oh my god. there are four pronouns for a singular female based on age, same for a singular male, and then more based on plural. And those plurals are divided by what genders are in the plural group? so like two women would have a different plural pronoun than two males or a group consisting of different genders im gonna have an aneurysm

there are thirty of these pronouns in total

also the way Mohawk is structured is kinda like “let’s take a bunch of individual words and mash those into one gi-fucking-gantic word instead of using, oh i dunno, sentences???” so to say anything at all you need a huge vocabulary

okay so i dunno if read mores even exist anymore but i def can’t do it on mobile anyway so here’s a reblog i guess idk just blacklist the tags i guess lmao

but anyway im gonna list all the pronouns so i can study them so if that’s interesting to you, hooray. if not im so sorry about this long ass post omfg
