   My mother tongue is the frensh and I know that fact about the plural.
   Usually, plurals are unaudible, because final "s" or "x" are not pronounced
   so it is audible only with the other plural forms like "aux". it is why it
   is more simple to learn to speak frensh than to write it, the flexions are
   very present but only on writings, when we speak the plural is like the
   singular and the first, second, and third person singular conjugaisons are
   often the same.

   But even unaudible, it is a plural change.


   Nobody knows about a language (or conlang, because I'm probalby not the
   first to have that idea) that uses to form the plural on the article?
