Yeah same. 6 cases, 3 genders and also dual form because why not.

lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours agoAll languages have their difficulties. English pronunciation and spelling is a mess but grammar is easy for example. My native language has 3 genders and 4 cases for example and there are languages with more.

I wish for spelling reform, but that’ll never happen.

7 cases in the standard version of my language, 8 in the dialect I speak :3

You didn’t mention genders so I guess you have none which leads me to Uralic or Turkic languages maybe?

Oh if we’re doing a guessing game then…
3 genders technically, though the 3rd one (neuter) is super rare, so it’s basically 2 in practice :3

That makes it harder. 7 is the limit of Balto-Slavic languages but I know that one Baltic language used to have more, loaned from Estonian or something, but lost them over time. So my guess is your local dialect preserved one? Otherwise I have no clue. I think modern Indo Aryan languages have less, Semitic languages have 2 genders and I don’t know how many cases. I could rule out some more to show off but not much.
