Re: The Future Language

There's a process to be aware of, called grammaticalization.

For instance, the Swedish postfix definite articles (-en, -et, -na) are a
result of the merge of a postposited demonstrative and the head noun. Same
goes for most of the Fenno-Ugric 12-24 cases... (Saami in one end,
Hungarian in the other. Not sure if there's any casericher
FU-language.)...the FU possessive suffixes (-ni = my, -si =your, ...)

The same evolutions don't occur in every language. And the evolutions of
languages are not predictable.

Languages have existed thousands of years. If the evolution toward
analytical was universal, no language would have *any* affixes...

AFAIK
