=== Case system ===
Amerikaens preserves the possessive genitive case from archaic Dutch; an example of this would be the sentence '''de vriend van de man''' in modern Hollandic Dutch becomes '''des mans vriend''' in Amerikaens. Historians & linguistics often debate whether the retaining of this case was a direct retention from Archaic Dutch, linguistic feature adopted from English & High German, or a mixture of both.
