jismith1989:As for the conlang, I have no idea why anyone would bother creating an artificial language with that many cases to memorize! It'd be just as easy to learn Russian or Latin or somethingAre case endings difficult per se? Why? The difficulty with Latin isn't so much that it has cases, but that it has five declensions, with different forms for different genders of the same declension, plus irregular forms, etc. And often different cases have the same ending so you still need context to figure it out.
The conlang Volapük has five cases, but of course there's only one declension with no irregularities so it's not hard. No harder than using prepositions to indicate the same relationships.
