Grammar

Sherall (Ŝeraɬ) is a Germanic tongue whose primary ancestor is Yiddish, spoken by a group of genetically engineered humans with a restricted range of phonemes, and an demophobic, secular outlook on life.

Time markers: A time marker only needs to be used when the time can not be inferred from context. In conversation, present tense is generally assumed to be default; in literature, the first sentence usually includes a tense marker, and most following tenses are inferred from that. Tense changes in subclauses are relative to the base tense for the sentence.
