Hi! I was wandering in your language tag and I saw you knew Old French. what does it even sound like haha? I'm French and I don't even know Old French! is it just like writing 'roy' instead of 'roi' and replacing 'ê' by 'st' like 'forêt' becomes 'forest' or something?
Hey! So first, I’m so so sorry for not responding to this sooner; I kept meaning to but then I’d get home and be super tired and blah blah blah. Anyway, yeah, I’m sorry about that~
So, the thing about Old French is that it’s a dead language, so I at least don’t know how it sounds. But I can talk about the linguistics a bit!
So, to start with, Old French has two cases: the nominative and the oblique. The oblique looks pretty much how you’d expect – le and la – but the nominative is li and la, which is… slightly different, haha. There’s still the masculine/feminine distinction, and that’s pretty much the same as it is in ModFr, but there’s some really strange plural modifications depending on the final letter of the word and such, but I’m afraid I don’t remember them off the top of my head. The sentence order is verb-subject-object, though, which is cool!
I’m typing this at work, so I’m afraid I can’t remember much more than that, but do hit me up if you’d like to know more. I’ll try to respond less than two months later next time :x
