Mediterranean island in the [[Nother]] happentrack. ==Name== The most general term is "Atlantic", ''atlante'' in Spanish, both translations of the native term ''Ədlantkɛ,'' after the island where it is spoken, which was in turn named after the legendary Atlantis. When contrasted to the other minor Atlanteian languages it is called "Kirumb" or "Atlantic Kirumb", referring to the tribe ([[../Kirumbi/]]; Atlantic: Kɛrbɔs) of [[races of Nother|demihumans]] whose language [[../Kirumb/]] was parent to it; the name comes from a word meaning 'gryphon'. The people are still sometimes referred to as Kirumbi or Κɛrbɔs. ==History== ''Atlantic'' is the name given to the [[Âdlantki]] language after about the late 1500s. The division is largely arbitrary, as the difference between the two stages of the language is not substantial. The largest difference is in the smoothing of original diphthongs; the most noticeable difference is the lowering of final vowels. ==Classification and influences== Atlantic is a [[Hadwan languages|Hadwan]] language in the [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] family. Besides its inherited lexicon, Atlantic derives borrowed vocabulary for acrolectal terms from [[Ancient Greek]], modern terms from [[Spanish]], and newer technical terms from [[Modern English]]. ==Geographic distribution== The original homeland of the Atlantic-speakers is [[../Atlanteia/]], though in later years overpopulation of the island led to the formation of substantial communities in nearby countries (Spain, Morocco, and Algeria), and later in the United States and Canada. ==Sounds== The Atlantic language has twelve vowels: eight short and four long. {| cellpadding=5 ! !! front !! central !! back |- ! high | i || || u |- ! close-mid | e ee || || o oo |- ! open-mid | ɛ ɛɛ || ə || ɔ ɔɔ |- ! low | || a /ɑ/ |} Consonants are as follows: {| cellpadding=5 ! nasal | m |colspan=4 align=center| n | ŋ |- ! vl stop | p |colspan=4 align=center| t | k |- ! vd stop | |colspan=4 align=center| d | g |- ! vl fric | f || θ || s || ʃ || sy /ç/ || x |- ! vd fric | v b /v/ || || z || ʒ y /ʒ/ |- ! sonorant | || l || r /ɾ/ || y /j/ |} ''H'' is silent. ''Y'' is pronounced as /ʒ/ after a consonant or before /i/ and /u/. Accentuation consists of a high or low pitch accent on the first mora of a word. :''ont'' /ònt/ "eye" :''sɔrrɛ'' /sɔ́ɾɾə/ "curse" For historical reasons, most verbs have high pitch. ==Grammar== ===Typology=== Atlantic is somewhat isolating and somewhat fusional. In nouns, the case system held by its ancestor Kirumb has been replaced by the use of postpositions. The language prefers borrowing words to producing compounds, so the number of morphemes per word is low: in most cases there is only the root morpheme and sometimes the plural marker. ===Nouns=== Atlantic nouns inflect only for number. The singular is the unmarked form. For words ending in ''-ɛ'', the plural is formed by adding ''-s'', thus ''-ɛs''. For words ending in ''-e'', the plural is formed by removing the ''-e'' and adding ''-ɔs''. The plural of all other words is formed by appending ''-ɔs'' to the singular. Exceptions exist, such as words in original long ''-ee'': ''vee'' "hand", whose plural is ''veeos''. Words whose ''-ee'' is secondary, such as ''ree'' "matter, affair", (earlier ''roye'') have a regular plural such as ''reɔs''. A few words, mainly body parts, have a special dual in ''-o''. ===Verbs=== Conjugating Atlantic verbs isn't too difficult: the endings are added regularly, with little change. The hard part is in remembering what conjugation a form takes, as well as the different stems each verb has. The finite forms of the verb belong to one of three different stems: the progressive, the aorist, and the durative. The '''progressive''' refers to an action in progress, and usually translates English plain or progressive verbs, such as ''enter'' or ''are eating.'' '''Aorist''' forms refer to an event as a whole, usually a completed one, and generally translates English past forms, like ''walked,'' or forms used in series of verbs: for example, in ''wants to go,'' "go" would be translated by the aorist. The '''durative''' is mostly falling out of use, except in verbs concerning thoughts and opinions: ''think, believe, know, want, like'' are usually represented by duratives in Atlantic. The conjugations are labelled by characteristic consonants in the first person singular: '''votic''' have ''v'', and '''kappatic''' have ''k''. ====Progressive endings==== {| valign="top" id="toc" !

It was originally conceived as a sort of truncated [[Spanish]], but further revisions pushed it further towards [[French]], so now it is somewhere in between. ==Geography== Originally spoken in southeast France, Ibran migrated to the New World where it is now more widely spoken than in its homeland. ===Dialects=== Ibran has two main dialects: ''Roesan,'' the dialect of [[New Royce]] (''Noif Roes'') and ''paysan,'' the European dialect. The language in New Ibria is not monolithic, though Roesan is the basis of “standard” language. ==Phonology== : ''See also:'' [[Ibran sound changes]] ==Orthography== Sometime recently a [[Cyrillic]] orthography (''cirilizal'') was officially instituted in New Royce, though the old [[Latin]] orthography (''latinizal'') is still found in common use (and is the only script used in Europe). The mapping of Cyrillic American Ibran to Latin European Ibran is not 1:1; the phonemic inventories are different and spellings differ. ==Vocabulary== : ''See also:'' [[Ibran/Swadesh list|Swadesh list]] ===Sample texts=== * [[Ibran/Paternoster|Paternoster]] ==External links== *[http://frath.net/language/nuif.shtml Ibran homepage] (old) *[http://www.langmaker.com/db/mdl_ibran.htm Ibran profile on langmaker.com] *[http://nik_taylor.tripod.com/relay/ibran.html Ibran leg of the Sixth CONLANG Translation Relay] *[[wikipedia:eo:Ibran|Ibran]] — Vikipedio [[Category:Romance conlangs]] [[Category:Conlangs]] User:Muke 609 52976 2010-04-09T15:47:40Z Muke 1 '''Muke Tever,''' ''[mailto:wikimaster@frath.net wikimaster@frath.net]'' <br>(or the less imposing [mailto:muke@frath.net muke@frath.net]) http://www.frath.net/ ===Languages=== '''Nother''' *[[Nother/Kirumb|Kirumb]] **[[Âdlantki]] ***[[Nother/Atlantic|Atlantic]] **[[Sirius]] *[[Nother/Drake|Drake]] **[[Nother/Early Menashean|Early Menashean]] ***[[Nother/Menashean|Menashean]] *[[Nother/Dunamy|Dunamy]] *[[Nother/Naryan|Naryan]] *[[Nother/Rami|Rami]] *[[Nother/Skeskatai|Skeskatai]] *[[Trentish]] '''Arda''' *[[Arda/Henaudute|Henaudute]] **[[Arda/Änäyute|Änäyute]] '''Piataia''' *[[Ibran]] [[User:Muke/Spelling|Semiserious notes on a spelling reform]] Nother/Atlantic/Lexicon 610 54897 2010-07-05T23:35:12Z Muke 1 ++ __NOTOC__ {| id="toc" | '''Table of contents''' |- | [[#A|A]] [[#B|B]] [[#D|D]] [[#E|E]] [[#Ɛ|Ɛ]] [[#Ə|Ə]] [[#F|F]] [[#G|G]] [[#H|H]] [[#X|X]] [[#I|I]] [[#K|K]] [[#L|L]] [[#M|M]] [[#N|N]] [[#Ŋ|Ŋ]] [[#O|O]] [[#Ɔ|Ɔ]] [[#P|P]] [[#R|R]] [[#S|S]] [[#Ʃ|Ʃ]] [[#T|T]] [[#U|U]] [[#V|V]] [[#Y|Y]] [[#Z|Z]] [[#Ʒ|Ʒ]] |} ===A=== *'''abɛ''' [ɑ̀.və] ''adj. indecl.'' second; other. *'''absɛ''' [ɑ́p.sə] ''n.'' the depths of the sea; the most intense or profound part. —Greek ἀβυσσός. *'''adə''' [ɑ.də] ''postp.'' to, towards. *'''afɔrivɛ''' [ɑ̀.fə.ɾí.və] ''v.'' uncover.

FrathWiki is a free encyclopedia for descriptions of constructed languages (''conlangs'') and cultures (''concultures''). Here are a few ways ''you'' can contribute: * '''Present creations.''' Whether you have a detailed grammar or ethnography, a simple lexicon or guidebook, or just a short description and a link to a website, you can post it here. * '''Work together.''' The WikiWiki format allows anyone to edit any page, meaning anyone can help, whether in all-out collaborative creation or just proofreading your text. Every page has its own ‘talk’ page where people can leave comments and constructive criticism. * '''Teach others.''' FrathWiki also wants to be a resource for conlangers, conculturers, and worldbuilders. For this, we need people to contribute descriptions of topics in linguistics and worldbuilding for a creator's perspective. Our models are sites like [[Wikipedia:Main page|Wikipedia]] and [[Wikibooks:Main page|Wikibooks]]. ==What FrathWiki could be== * ''A repository for conlang texts.'' (Is this practical?) * ''A place to describe well-known creations such as Esperanto or Tolkien's worlds.''

''E'' and ''o'' may also be pronounced as /æ/ and /ɑ/ respectively (the vowels of American English "cat" and "paw"). ===Consonants=== f h j k l m n ng p r s sh t th tz w y z These are all pronounced with their English values, with two exceptions: *''j'' is /ʒ/ as in “A''si''a”, (the same as in French) *''tz'' is pronounced like /ts/, (the same as in German), but can also be pronounced as /z/ in “zoo”. Sometimes consonants are written double: ''ff, ck, ll, rr, tt'' etc. This is generally just a reminder of the pronunciation; the letters are not pronounced double. [I hope I can phase the double letters out. It may make it harder to spell if it is not regular.] ==Grammar== ===Question words=== The most important thing to be able to do is ask questions. The basic question words are — {| | '''her?''' || ''who?'' |- | '''het?''' || ''what?'' |- | '''hoj?''' || ''where?'' |- | '''ho?''' || ''when?'' |- | '''he?''' || ''why?'' |- | '''hiyu?''' || ''how?'' |- | '''hashar?''' || ''how much?'' |} Example: *'''Het atsha?''' ''What's that?'' (You can use ''esti'' "to be" here, thus ''Het esti atsha?'' — but it isn't necessary to.) ===Articles=== Sirius does not use words for ''an'' or ''the''. This may be confusing at first; it may be easier to think of it as sounding like newspaper headlines (''Man dies in fire''). ===Pronouns=== Like Japanese, Sirius does not require [[pronoun]]s in most places, especially when context is enough. Instead you can use a name, species, title, or whatever. Like English, Sirius pronouns have different forms for subject and object, but unlike English they are not marked for [[number]]; thus there is no difference between "I" and "we"; ''mi'' is used for either. However, a distinction ''is'' made between character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) pronouns. There are also possessive forms. {| border=1 cellpadding=5 ! !! I/we !! mine/ours !! you !! yours |- !

OOC | me || mor || ye || yor |} ==Lexicon== ===Basic words=== *''see'' [[Sirius Lexicon]] ===Technical words=== Sirius gets technical terms from Greek and Latin, just like English does. Examples: * "illuminate": Latin ''illuminare'' → Sirius '''illumin''' * "universe": Latin ''universum'' → Sirius '''uniwers''' * "dinosaur": Greek ''δεινοσαυρος'' (deinosauros) → Sirius '''dinsor''' (or ''tinsor'') * "metamorphose": Greek ''μεταμορφόω'' (metamorphoō) → Sirius '''metamorf''' Basic rules for deriving technical terms: # drop off any grammatical endings at the end of the word, like the ''-us, -um, -a'' at the end of Latin nouns, or the -o- in Greek compounds # there are several sounds that are not in Sirius, so the spelling should be changed: <!-- #*Greek and Latin ''b, d, g'' to '''p, t, k''' --> #*Latin ''c'' to '''k''', and ''v'' to '''w'''. #*Greek ''z, ph, th, kh'' to '''tz, f, th, h/k''' ('''h''' before a vowel, '''k''' elsewhere). #*Greek ''ai, oi'' and Latin ''ae, oe'' to '''e'''. #*Greek and Latin ''au'' to '''o'''. #*Greek ''ei'' to '''i''' and ''ou'' to '''u'''. #*Greek ''y'' to '''i'''. [[Category:Indo-European conlangs]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Person 616 8403 2006-04-14T20:56:56Z Melroch 31 /* Additional persons */ '''Grammatical person''', in [[linguistics]], is used for the [[grammar|grammatical]] categories a [[language]] uses to describe the relationship between the speaker and the persons or things she is talking about. Grammatical person typically defines a language's set of personal [[pronoun]]s. It also frequently affects [[verb]]s, sometimes [[noun]]s, and [[genitive|possessive]] relationships as well. [[English]] traditionally distinguishes three grammatical persons: The personal [[pronoun]]s "''I''" and "''we''" are said to be in the '''first person'''. The speaker uses this in the singular to refer to himself; in the plural, to speak of a group of people of which he is a member. The personal pronoun "''you''" is the '''second person''' pronoun. It refers to the person spoken to. ''You'' is used in both the singular and plural; the old second person singular pronoun, ''thou'', is archaic in modern English. All other pronouns and all nouns are in the '''third person'''. This person is traditionally defined to be what is spoken of or anything that is not first or second person. People who are neither the speaker nor the person spoken to, and any inanimate objects, are referred to in the third person. In [[Indo-European languages]], first, second, and third person pronouns are all marked for [[singular]] and [[plural]] forms, and perhaps [[dual]] forms as well. Some languages, especially in Western Europe, distinguish degrees of formality and informality. Common ways of doing this include using the second person plural pronoun as a singular in formal situations (as in [[French]]); or using an old third person noun, with its third person verb forms, as a second person form of address (as in [[Spanish]] with the word ''usted''). European languages that exhibit these features of contrasting formality and informality have a [[T-V distinction]], named for ''tu'' and ''vous'', the informal and formal second person pronouns in French. (Compare ''thou'' for archaic T-V distinctions in English). Other languages use different classifying schemes, especially in the plural pronouns. One frequently found difference not present in most Indo-European languages is a contrast between ''inclusive "we"'', a first person plural pronoun which includes the person addressed in the group of "us," and ''exclusive "we"'', which excludes the person addressed. These languages would use different pronouns, verb forms, or both to translate these two sentences: *''We can go into the forest and have adventures.'' *''We mean to stop your evil scheme, Doctor Doom!'' Many of the [[Dravidian languages]] use these distinctions in grammatical person; they exist elsewhere as well. Other languages have much more elaborate systems of formality that go well beyond the T-V distinction, and use many different pronouns and verb forms that express the speaker's relationship with the people she addresses. The [[Japanese|Japanese language]] has one well known such system; many [[Malayo-Polynesian languages]] have them as well. In many languages, the [[verb]] takes a form dependent on this ''person'' and whether it is singular or [[number|plural]]. In [[English]], this happens with the verb "''to be''". *I am (first-person singular) *You are (second-person) *He, she or it is (third-person singular) *We are (first-person plural) *They are (third-person plural) When "first person", "second person", and "third person" are used as adjectives, they should be hyphenated. ==Additional persons== The grammars of some languages divide the semantic space into more than three persons. The extra categories may be termed ''fourth person, fifth person,'' etc. Terms such as "fourth person" are not absolute but can refer depending on context to any of several phenomena. Some languages, the most well-known examples being [[Wikipedia:Algonquian languages|Algonquian languages]], divide the category of third person into two parts: ''proximate'' for a more topical third person and ''[[Wikipedia:obviative|obviative]]'' for a less topical third person. The obviative is sometimes called the fourth person. The term ''fourth person'' is also sometimes used for the category of indefinite or generic referents, that work like ''one'' in English phrases such as "one should be prepared", when the grammar treats them differently from ordinary third person forms. See also [[conjugation]], [[grammar]]. ---- {{msg:Wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Grammatical person|Grammatical person]] [[Category:Grammar]] Number 617 48951 2009-09-05T16:19:31Z Tropylium 756 link specific numbers In [[linguistics]], '''number''' is a [[grammar|grammatical]] category that specifies the quantity of a [[noun]] or affects the form of a [[verb]] or other part of speech depending on the quantity of the noun to which it refers. Grammatical number is distinct from the use of [[numeral]]s to specify the exact quantify of a noun; number is usually vague. The most common scheme is '''[[singular]]''' (one thing) contrasted with '''[[plural]]''' (many things). Other possibilities are '''[[dual]]''' number, expressing the existence of precisely two instances of the noun, '''[[trial]]''' number for three of a noun, '''[[paucal]]''' number for few but not one of a noun, or a '''[[collective]]''' number that expresses the whole class of the nouns (e.g., ''mankind''). Languages that distinguish grammatical number commonly do so by [[inflection]]. Verbs and other parts of speech may be inflected to agree with the noun. English does this in a limited way: "he sleeps" but "I sleep"; "this chair" but "these chairs". Even in languages such as [[Mandarin|Mandarin Chinese]] that do not mark common nouns for grammatical number, [[pronoun]]s usually have distinct singular and plural forms. Arguably this is not quite the same concept as grammatical number, since ''we'' is not the same as multiple instances of ''I''. == English examples == [[Modern English]] is typical of languages that have singular and plural number. An English plural can correspond to a dual, trial, paucal, or plural in other languages. Here are some examples of irregular singular-plural pairs: * ''foot'' (singular), ''feet'' (plural) * ''mouse'' (singular), ''mice'' (plural) * ''I'' (singular), ''we'' (plural) And one regular example: * ''encyclopedia'' (singular), ''encyclopedias'' (plural) Non-borrowed English irregular nouns come in several forms: Some voice a final fricative when in plural: * ''knife'', ''knives'' (/f/ > /v/) * ''mouth'', ''mouths'' (/T/ > /D/) * ''house'', ''houses'', (unique plural, /s/ > /z/) These plurals are distinct in pronunciation from the possessive. There is also a trend in some areas to regularize some of these nouns. Survivors of the [[Old English]] weak masculine declination add ''-en'': * ''ox'', ''oxen'' * ''auroch'', ''aurochen'' (archaic) Other ''-en'' adders are irregular for different reasons: * ''child'', ''children'' * ''eye'', ''eyen'' (rare) * ''cow'', ''kine'' (rare) * ''brother'', ''brethren'' (or ''brothers'') Some nouns have no plural, or are identical when plural and singular: * ''moose'' * ''sheep'' * ''fish'' (or ''fishes'') * ''species'' Pronouns are irregular precisely because they are so common: * ''I'', ''we'' * ''you'' * ''he she it'', ''they'' Some nouns are rather ''transparently irregular'' because they undergo the process of [[umlaut]]: *''man'', ''men'' *''foot'', ''feet'' *''mouse'', ''mice'' There are several different kinds depending in the starting and ending vowel, but generally, they converge on /i/. Most of these nouns are also umlauted in the other [[Germanic languages]]. The (regular) English noun plural marker, -s, has three variants: * -/s/ next to a voiceless consonant other than a fricative * -/z/ next to a voiced sound other than a fricative, or a vowel * -/@z/ or -/Iz/ next to /s/, /z/, /S/, /Z/, /tS/ and /dZ/ (the choice of vowel depending on dialect) == Other languages == [[Slovene]] is more complicated: * ''babarija'' (''old wives tale'') (singular), ''babariji'' (two ''old wives tales'') (dual), ''babarije'' (three ''old wives tales'') * ''hi&#353;a'' (''house'') (singular), ''hi&#353;i'' (two ''houses'') (dual), ''tri hi&#353;e'' (''three houses'') (plural), ''&#353;est hi&#353;'' (''six houses'') (plural) * ''mi&#353;'' (''mouse'') (singular), ''mi&#353;i'' (two or three ''mice'') (dual := plural) * ''jaz'' (''I'') (singular), ''midva/midve'' (''we'') (dual + [Masculine/Feminine [[gender]]), ''mi/me'' (''we'') (plural [Ma/Fe gender]) * ''vrata'' (one ''door'') (singular), ''dvoje vrat'' (two ''doors'' (dual), ''tri vrata'' (three ''doors'' (plural), ['''plural noun''' with different or same form] * ''babine'' (''afterbirth period'') (archaic meaning) (singular), ''babini'' (two ''afterbirth periods'') (dual), ''babine'' (three ''afterbirth periods''), ['''plural noun''' with different or same form] * ''&#269;love&#353;tvo'' (''mankind'') (singular), ''&#269;love&#353;tvi'' (two ''mankind'') (dual), ''&#269;love&#353;tva'' (three ''mankind''), ['''collective noun''' with different form] ** These and similar examples are very often used incorrectly, even in published or electronic dictionaries. In [[Hebrew]], one can similarly say: * ''sefer'' (''book'') (singular), ''sfarim'' (''books'') (plural) * ''yom'' (''day'') (singular), ''yamim'' (''days'') (plural), but ''yomaim'' (two ''days'') (dual) In terms of pronunciation, however, the majority of nouns (and adjectives) in [[French]] are not actually declined for number. The -s [[suffix]] is not actually pronounced unless the next word starts with a vowel (this is called [[liaison]]) and thus does not really show anything; the plural article or other word is the real indicator of plurality. However, plurals still exist in French because irregular nouns, such as those that end in -l such as ''cheval'' (horse) form plurals in a different way. ''Cheval'' is pronounced [S@val], ''chevaux'' is pronounced [S@vo], and this really shows number differences. The same is true for adjectives. == Effect of number on verbs and other parts of speech == Not only nouns can be [[declension|declined]] by number. In many languages, adjectives are declined according to the number of the noun they modify. For example, in [[French]], one may say ''un arbre vert'' (a green tree), and ''des arbres verts'' ([some] green trees). The word ''vert'' (green), in the singular, becomes ''verts'' for the plural (unlike English ''green'', which remains ''green''). In many languages, verbs are [[conjugation|conjugated]] by number as well. Using French as an example again, one says ''je vois'' (I see), but ''nous voyons'' (we see). The verb ''voir'' (to see) in the first person changes from ''vois'' in singular, to ''voyons'' in plural. In English this occurs in the third [[person]] (she runs, they run) but not first or second. Normally verbs agree with their subject noun in number. But in [[Ancient Greek]] and [[Sanskrit]] [[gender|neuter]] plurals took a singular verb. In English, or at least British English, singular nouns collectively referring to people may take plural verbs, as ''the committee are meeting''; use of this varies by dialect and level of formality. Other qualifiers may also agree in number. The English article ''the'' does not, the demonstratives ''this, that'' do, becoming ''these, those'', and the article ''a, an'' is omitted or changed to ''some'' in the plural. In French and German, the definite [[article]]s have gender distinctions in the singular but not the plural. In [[Portuguese]], the indefinite article ''um, uma'' has plural forms ''uns, umas''. == See also == * [[grammar]] * [[mass noun]] * [[collective noun]] * [[measure word]] ---- {{msg:Wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Grammatical number|Grammatical number]] [[Category:Grammar]] Swadesh list 618 47564 2009-07-23T12:22:11Z Tropylium 756 cat The Swadesh list is a list of about 207 words originally drawn up by [[Wikipedia:Morris Swadesh|Morris Swadesh]] for the purpose of [[Wikipedia:Glottochronology|glottochronology]]. * [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Swadesh template|Wiktionary:Swadesh template]] can be used to demonstrate the vocabulary of a conlang. ===List of conlang Swadesh lists=== *[[Ibran/Swadesh list|Ibran]] ---- {{msg:stub}} [[Category:Lexica]] FrathWiki:Find or fix a stub 619 22370 2007-06-11T04:26:49Z - andrew 211 revert A stub is a page whose content is not fully fleshed out yet.

[[Category:Swadesh lists|Ibran]] [[Category:Ibran]] Tense 623 8404 2006-04-14T20:57:46Z Melroch 31 '''Tense''' is a method for dividing up the temporal space. The common categories are '''present''', '''past''', and '''future''', although sometimes more or fewer categories are expressed. Different tenses are not always formed in the same way as each other; for example English only distinguishes past and present morphologically, and uses auxiliary [[verb]]s such as ''will'' for the future. Examples of tenses and tense systems: *past/nonpast (English) *past-present-future (Romance languages) *distant past / within the past year / the past month / the past day / now / soon / later (Yagua) ---- {{msg:stub}} [[Category:Grammar]] FrathWiki:!Orphaned articles 624 3990 2004-06-04T01:49:09Z Muke 1 <ol start=1><li><a href="/index.php?title=Main_Page" class='internal' title ="Main Page">Main Page</a></li> </ol> FrathWiki:!Long articles 625 3991 2004-06-04T01:49:34Z Muke 1 <ol start=1><li><a href="/index.php?title=Atlantic_Lexicon" class='internal' title ="Atlantic Lexicon">Atlantic Lexicon</a> (22532 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Ibran/Swadesh_list" class='internal' title ="Ibran/Swadesh list">Ibran/Swadesh list</a> (17727 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Henaudute" class='internal' title ="Henaudute">Henaudute</a> (13769 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Atlantic" class='internal' title ="Atlantic">Atlantic</a> (3772 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Sirius" class='internal' title ="Sirius">Sirius</a> (1593 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Main_Page" class='internal' title ="Main Page">Main Page</a> (1024 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Person" class='internal' title ="Person">Person</a> (855 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Tense" class='internal' title ="Tense">Tense</a> (627 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Number" class='internal' title ="Number">Number</a> (448 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Swadesh_list" class='internal' title ="Swadesh list">Swadesh list</a> (381 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Arda" class='internal' title ="Arda">Arda</a> (280 bytes)</li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Ibran" class='internal' title ="Ibran">Ibran</a> (196 bytes)</li> </ol> FrathWiki:!Dead-end pages 626 3992 2004-08-05T15:40:44Z Muke 1 <ol start=1><li><a href="/index.php?title=Henaudute_Lexicon" class='internal' title ="Henaudute Lexicon">Henaudute Lexicon</a></li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Kasin" class='internal' title ="Kasin">Kasin</a></li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Kel" class='internal' title ="Kel">Kel</a></li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Kosi" class='internal' title ="Kosi">Kosi</a></li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Sisiw%C3%B6n" class='internal' title ="Sisiwön">Sisiwön</a></li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Somian" class='internal' title ="Somian">Somian</a></li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=Trentish_Phonology" class='internal' title ="Trentish Phonology">Trentish Phonology</a></li> <li><a href="/index.php?title=%C3%82dlantki_Lexicon" class='internal' title ="Âdlantki Lexicon">Âdlantki Lexicon</a></li> </ol> IPA 627 59040 2011-01-26T15:29:27Z Tropylium 756 sections The '''International Phonetic Alphabet''' is an alphabet designed to represent the sounds of various languages.

Is there any way to use this font on Frathwiki pages (for native names)? (I am aware that, should there be a way to do this, many would not see it - but for those who have the font, it would be great, in addition to transliterations.)[[User Talk:Pisceesumsprecan]] Thanks, Muke. Your advice on the above works perfectly! Just one more thing: how do you change the font size? Sorry to bother you again. ---- Muke, I don't get how to use the combining diacratics. How do they combine with other letters? Still struggling. I'm trying to combine ◌̄ with an æ ligature and, after following yor advice - placing the combining diacratic after the æ, it still does not combine. What could I be doing wrong? I use Internet Explorer 7, if this helps. [[User Talk:Pisceesumsprecan]] UPDATE: I've found that the character I want exists anyway. When I use diacratics, I put, for instance, æ◌̄, but the ◌̄ seems to be treated as a letter in its own right. I can't delete the o without first deleting the diacratic (refuses to put cursor between them), which beats the object. Like I said, I've found the right character anyway, so it's no longer a problem, but you may be interested in the behaviour of the software. ---- Muke, This is Elliott from Conlang. I've been working on a Silindion wiki, I was wondering if you would have the time to comment on it, and maybe provide any formatting and or other advice? thanks. ---- ==Trebor/Tables etc.== LOL. This is Trebor Jung of Conlang. Is this Wiki for your own personal use or can anyone post stuff on their conlangs and/or conworlds? You can reply to me at treborjung at free dot fr.

I've seen examples but they look complicated... Thanks. 28 June 2004 14:55 EST :If you know how, you can use HTML to make tables. Otherwise, there is a simpler wiki table markup described in brief at [[FrathWiki:How does one edit a page]], and a detailed description of a the table formats the wiki understands at [[Wikipedia:m:MediaWiki User's Guide: Using tables|MediaWiki User's Guide: Using tables]]. If that's still not clear, you could mark what needs tabulated, and I could give working on it a shot. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 13:16, 28 Jun 2004 (PDT) Thanks. Please make tables at [[Kasin]] for consonants and vowels (please add place of articulation; you can delete the X-Sampa representation), and at [[Kosi]] for these: Consonants, Vowels, (again please add POA), Cases, Possession, Demonstratives, Aspects, Moods, Voices, Derivation, and Lexicon . Much appreciated! ---- I tried creating a table for [[Kosi|Kosi's]] vowels. How does it look? (Because I'm visually impaired I can't actually check it myself.) --Trebor, 29 June 2004, 18:00 EST :It looks all right, except the purpose of the rounded / unrounded line confuses me — the way it lines up it shows "Unrounded" in the same column as "Mid", and "Rounded" in the same column as "Front" (so that i and e seem to be classed as front rounded vowels). I'd fix it now but I can't quite make out which cells "Rounded" and "Unrounded" are intended to head (it might need a little more reformatting). —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 15:30, 29 Jun 2004 (PDT) Whoops. Here are [[Kosi|Kosi's]] vowels and their X-Sampa equivalents: i /i/, ü /y/, û /M/, u /u/, e /e/, ö /2/, y /@/, jo /jo/, ô /7/, o /o/, a /a/, ja /ja/. And could you also help me with tables for Kosi Cases, Possession, Demonstratives, Aspects, Moods, Voices, Derivation, and Lexicon (Lexicon headings: Kosi, Etymology, English; you can remove the brackets and < for the etymology. Also, could you make a vowel table and grammatical structures table at [[Kasin]]. Thanks! Or if you like, I'll try making tables and you can check them? --Trebor, 12:27 EST, 30 June 2004 :I'm working on them by and by. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 11:53, 30 Jun 2004 (PDT) Oh, I see. How come when I enter in an accent with Alt codes (e.g. o-trema alt+0246), the page goes out of forms mode without having saved my changes? Annoying. --Trebor, 19:24, 30 June 2004 :My guess is your number lock is off, thus instead of the alt-46 at the end it's reading it as alt-left and alt-right (go back a page, then go forward again) — if I do that in IE it will erase changes that I've made. If that's not the problem, I'm not sure offhand what else it could be. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 17:51, 30 Jun 2004 (PDT) That's strange, I just tried alt+0246 and it worked. But my numb lock was on when I noticed this problem yesterday too (AFAIK)... --Trebor, 08:57 EST, 1 July 2004 == The wrong version loads == The [[Sisiwön]] article mentions it is a collaborative conlang. In the group for discussing it, Alex Fink mentioned he added to it, but he additions aren't on the page. I thot maybe the Recent Changes page might give a link to the new version, but it doesn't work. On the Recent Changes page I also noticed you added a Lexicon table to [[Kosi]], but it's not on that page. I went to edit the page, but the table formatting exists in the Edit This Page box, so why not in the actual article? This is very puzzling. --Trebor, 09:52 EST, 2 July 2004 :My guess is that your browser is loading from its cache instead of the server. Try a hard reload (usually shift-F5) when you view a page, and see if that helps. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 07:08, 2 Jul 2004 (PDT) Even more puzzling, I edited [[Sisiwön]] and [[Kosi]], and the changes appeared in the articles :O --Trebor, 11:04, 2 July 2004 EST == Problem with Table == [[Sisiwön]] has a consonant table but it won't show up properly in the article. Why won't it work? --Trebor, 21:17, 2 July 2004 EST :It should be fixed now. The table had been begun with pipe then open-brace "|{", instead of open-brace then pipe "{|", so it wasn't interpreting it as a table. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 18:25, 2 Jul 2004 (PDT) Hi Muke, I have a small request: Would you mind please deleting my [[User:Trebor|Trebor]] page as well as the [[Kasin]] page? Thanks. --Trebor == Question == Hi Muke, here's a question to you... A few days ago, I asked Grzegorz Jagodziński to comment on the Slavic soundchanges discussion on [[Talk:Slevan]]. However, when he tried to register (or to make an edit), he got the following answer: '''<nowiki>Your IP address is listed as an open proxy in the [http://www.sorbs.net SORBS] DNSBL. You cannot create an account.</nowiki>''' As he assured me, his IP address is not an open proxy at all. His Internet connection is of such kind that his IP is hidden, and that instead the IP of his provider is shown. There's nothing he can do about that, and obviously he has nothing in common with disseminating spam. Is there anything that can be done? Oddly enough, he had no problem at all registering at Wikipedia. Cheers, [[User:IJzeren Jan|IJzeren Jan]] 11:38, 22 Aug 2005 (PDT) :Hi!

Perhaps my spam filter ate it? Hi Muke, Do you think [[User:Melroch/Longman_Defining_Vocabulary]] would be OK on FrathWiki? Wordlists aren't copyrightable as such, but this is based on some research obviously! I can of course write to Longman and ask, but it should be noted that it is cited in respectable academic pages like [http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~kbarker/working_notes/ldoce-vocab.html this] and [http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kbarker/working_notes/roget-actions.html this] (these are actually the same site). Note that the version of the vocabulary at that page is put into an HTML table, meaning that if you select-copy it the alphabetic order will be destroyed... To increase the usefulness of the vocabulary, and the amount of independent work and so the fair- use-factor I have added a version of the vocabulary sorted by frequency.

As is you have to copy-paste it into a local file. Also it should of course have its labels translated into English -- I can do *that*, but I suck at JavaScript. I wonder if it could replace the current IPA character entry system on the edit page? It would take too much place probably, above the save/preview buttons and all! To provide one 'phonemic' and one 'phonetic' version of the IPA template insertionlink seems a good idea to me, but the slashes/brackets should go inside the template: <nowiki>{{IPA|/.../}}, {{IPA|[...]}}</nowiki> which IMHO looks best if the IPA is displayed in another font than the surrounding text. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 05:06, 28 July 2006 (PDT) :It might be feasible to set up such a thing with the <nowiki><charinsert></nowiki> tag currently used, in conjunction with the "editintro" extension (i think it's in [[metawikipedia:Inputbox]]) to create a keyboard _above_ the edit box. As for making it a wiki page in itself, that would take a bit of engineering: as javascript isn't allowed in wiki pages itself, its function would have to be divided so that all the actual javascript would site in the site's js file. (But I, too, suck at Javascript, and couldn't implement this.) As for the other thing, the character inserts are put in from [[Mediawiki:Copyrightwarning]] and as a sysop you can feel free to improve it; as only I have touched the page so far I consider it rough and provisional. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 06:27, 28 July 2006 (PDT) ==Request for deletion== Hi Muke; I'd appreciate it if you'd please delete [[Kosi_grammar]]. Thanks. [[User:Trebor|Trebor]] 19:01, 8 August 2006 (PDT) == Screwed up pages by trying to rename one == Hi, Muke -- I think I've made a mess. I was trying to update the page "Neo-Khitanese" to reflect that I've given the lingo a proper name now and not just a placeholder. In trying to update the link to it on the "League of Lost Languages Page" I managed to create a page "Kilda Kelen" with no content; that's the name I want to rename the old "Neo-Khitanese" page. But since this blank "Kilda Kelen" now exists, I can't use the "move" command. And I don't know how to delete the rotten thing. Could you unbollux this for me when you get a chance? All I think needs to be done is to rename the page now listed as "Neo-Khitanese" as "Kilda Kelen". Many apologies! -- Kuroda, 24 August '06 ==Deleting categories== Hi Muke -- due to my stupidity I erroneously created two wrong categories, but I seem to be unable to delete them.

[[Image:Frathwiki2.png]] I'm not ordering you to use it, but if you like it, I thought I'd offer it to you. If you're interested in it, but there are bits you don't like, tell me and I'll do my best to change it. I can also send you the original Photoshop file with layers. It is based on the pyramid in the conlang flag. Part of it is deliberately missing (revealing a gold glow beneath to represent insight) akin to the Wikipedia puzzle piece. I thought the texture looked a bit Gothic (relating to the word 'Frath', which is Gothic in origin). I have created the image in its entirety by myself, so there are no copyright issues. --[[User:Pisceesumsprecan|Pisceesumsprecan]] 15:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC) :Interesting ideas.

Is it possible to install that (or a suitable tweak of it) here? Each segment also has an updated glyph order that I find to be much more useful than the Unicode default. Also, did you ever notice IPA is included twice, first at the top & then within the Latin range (this time with all the outdated/unofficial letters too)? --[[User:Tropylium|John Vertical]] 10:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC) :Well, the character edit box is included from [[FrathWiki:Special character insertion]] and should be editable, if you can put together a better character arrangement... as far as the dropdown, that doesn't require installation... it's just a bit of javascript for [[Mediawiki:Monobook.js]]. The code depends on what the character sections end up being though, so if you want to make any changes it might be best to do that first (for now anyway; it ''can'' always be changed). —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 22:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC) ==Melroch and Common CSS== Hi, Muke.

Also, I've checked out Melroch's sandbox and it contains the following strange messages: -yes yes sir Melroch- -yes no way Melroch- -no no way Philip- I'm concerned that the account has been hacked. On a different note, there is a consensus that the logo should be replaced by Cedh Audmanh's plain version (second on this page: [[FrathWiki:Logo]]). Thanks --[[User:Pisceesumsprecan|S.C. Anderson]] 19:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC) :As far as the sandbox, it just seems to be a test of conditional templates. Not sure about the change to common.css; it seems to have had a greater effect in some browsers than others, so it might just have been insufficient testing.

And if one day I decide to make a new account, I will. However now, I am trying to minimize my computer use. And I think for me the best way is to eliminate the cause. So, I'm sorry that I seem so insistent, because it's never a nice day when someone wants to delete their account, and it's nothing about the site itself, I am just trying really hard to spend more time doing other things...so, at that, I'm sorry for leaving, but I think for now this is what I need to do (sounds like I'm about to kill myself xD).

All right, I am not sure offhand what might be causing the error (your error was the first error of the day in my access logs...). I will recommend to you the same thing that I recommended at [[Talk:Main_Page#Internal_server_error]] — try clearing your cache, because it's possible the error message is cached somehow and interfering with normal operation (this worked for me a few minutes ago when I had difficulty adding my previous comment, at least, but I'll admit I'm not terribly sure of it as a fix). I've replaced the weird "Internal error" Mediawiki was returning with a [http://wiki.frath.net/internal_error.html proper 500 page] so the behaviour might be different. I'll also be keeping an eye on these errors to see if I can figure out where they might be coming from.

I have Internet Explorer 8 btw. :It's a feature—usually templates are kept as shorthand so they can be easily manipulated, so including them leaves them as references to the original. If, as in this case, you want to replace them with their source, you use the subst: command, which is a prefix — e.g. <nowiki>{{subst:Consonants}}</nowiki>, which on saving will convert the reference to the Consonants template into the source that would produce it, so you can edit it. Mind you that [[Template:infobox]] is designed so you shouldn't have to do this (unless you want to change its layout or something)—just supply parameters to fill in the blanks.

When I edit a page where there's already text, the edit box automatically scrolls down so that the line that I'm currently editing will be the last line shown in the box. This is really annoying because often I want to see what's written below, so I have to keep scrolling back and forth all the time. And if I copy a piece of text, whenever I paste it in somewhere else, the box automatically scrolls to the place where I copied it from. That's also superannoying. Do you happen to know what's causing that? I have Internet Explorer 8. --[[User:Qwynegold|Qwynegold]] 15:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC) :No, I don't know what would cause that. Usually the behaviour of textboxes and pasting and such are handled by your operating system, and occasionally might be overridden by your browser; it's possible that a website might impose its own functionality on the matter with scripts and such, but I don't believe this wiki has anything like that—at least, I haven't noticed any of the things you mention. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 22:47, 23 April 2010 (UTC) ::Hmm, I didn't find anything mentioned about it in the help pages for IE. *sigh* I guess I have to keep scrolling back-and-forth... --[[User:Qwynegold|Qwynegold]] 14:15, 9 May 2010 (UTC) == Headline levels == I have this one page where the seventh level of headlines doesn't work.

Now, I notice your page starts its heading hierarchy with the two-sign ==Heading== — there is one level above that you could use, e.g. =Heading=, so you could move the whole hierarchy up and squeeze one more in there. But really, if the page is going to get that elaborately nested, it might be prudent to move one of those top-level sections to its own page, e.g. [[Proto-Kunnurūjungo grammar]] or [[Proto-Kunnurūjungo morphology]], with a link to it, and perhaps a briefer summary, on the main Proto-Kunnurūjungo page. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 15:13, 9 May 2010 (UTC) ::I see.

For example, "I" means specifically the person speaking, which is true whoever happens to ''be'' speaking, but the actual person "I" refers to depends on context. There are several kinds of pronouns: *'''personal''' pronouns: I, you, we *'''possessive''' pronouns: mine, yours, ours (as opposed to possessive adjectives: my, your, our) *'''demonstrative''' pronouns: this, that, those (as opposed to demonstrative adjectives: this car, that house, those people). *'''reflexive''' pronouns: myself, herself, themselves *'''relative''' pronouns: that, which, who *'''interogative''' pronouns: who, when, what *'''indefinate''' pronouns: some, a few, many '''Personal pronouns''' Personal pronouns are most commonly used to replace proper nouns. If you imagine a sentence without pronouns, it could sound cluttered.Compare these two sentences: '''I saw ''John'' today and asked ''John'' if ''John'' prefers sugar in ''John's'' tea.'''<br/>'''I saw John today and asked ''him'' if ''he'' prefers sugar in ''his'' tea.''' The latter sounds much more natural. But notice that there are 3 different forms relating to '''John'''. The first, '''him''' is ''objective'' or ''accusative'' form, since '''John''' is the object of the verb ''ask''. The second is ''nominative'', since '''if''' introduces a new clause, therefore John is the ''subject'', and the third, '''his''' is simply possessive. Many personal pronouns change their form according to where they are in the sentence, commonly known as '''Case'''. This differs from language to language. However, some retain their form no matter where. A good comparison is the pronoun '''you''', in German (familiar form) and English: *Nominative/subjective: '''you-du''' *Accusative/objective: '''you-dich''' *Dative: '''to you/dir''' Example sentences: *'''''You'' are beautiful. ''Du'' bist schön.''' *'''I saw ''you''. Ich sah ''dich'''''. *'''I gave it ''to you''. Ich gab es ''dir'''''. ---- {{msg:stub}} [[Category:Grammar]] Nother/Trentish lexicon 633 55626 2010-08-18T23:30:06Z Muke 1 /* E */ pretty sure this is adj. bin. __NOTOC__ <small>[[Trentish]] >> Lexicon</small> {| id="toc" | '''Table of contents''' |- | [[#A|A]] [[#B|B]] [[#D|D]] [[#E|E]] [[#G|G]] [[#I|I]] [[#K|K]] [[#L|L]] [[#Λ|Λ]] [[#M|M]] [[#N|N]] [[#NG|NG]] [[#NY|NY]] [[#O|O]] [[#Ö|Ö]] [[#P|P]] [[#Q|Q]] [[#R|R]] [[#S|S]] [[#T|T]] [[#Tʼ|Tʼ]] [[#U|U]] [[#Ü|Ü]] [[#W|W]] [[#X|X]] [[#Y|Y]] |} ==A== *'''an-bol''' ''n.'' the sun *'''ang''' ''pos.'' within, inside *'''a-pen''' ''n.'' possessions, inventory (used for alienable possession) *'''a-phel''' ''v.'' be divided on one end; be fringed; fork ==B== *'''ba''' ''mk. for n.'' topic: ''ingohba'' "as for trout" *'''ble-uhn''' ''adj.sc.'' brown [from English] *'''blu''' ''adj.sc.'' blue [from English] *'''boh''' ''mk. for v.'' perfect aspect: ''bohguƛan'' "have found" ==D== *'''dü''' ''fv.'' causative ==E== *'''e''' ''pos.'' with (instrumental) *'''e-ƛin''' ''adj.bin.'' whole, entire *'''en-kà''' ''n.'' a row of teeth ==G== *'''ga-te''' ''n.'' house *'''gitw''' ''mk. for n.'' collective: ''gitwingoh'' "school of trout" *'''gle''' ''adj.sc.'' gray [from English] *'''glin''' ''adj.sc.'' green [from English] *'''gr̀''' ''pron.pers.''

Can't really work on this well until I organize my old notes. ==Morphological typology== Trentish is a highly [[polysynthesis|polysynthetic]] language. The verb word itself can have up to eight components, some of which themselves may comprise multiple [[morpheme]]s: {| | § || '''imenggrrnoqukwauhglathanxyr''' |- | || i-mel-grq-''noqukwa''-uhg-''latha''-ny-xr |- | || <small>FICT</small>-<small>CUMUL</small>-<small>DIS</small>-''president''-<small>MIDD</small>-''mess:up''-1-3 |- | || "for the president to continue making himself worse (in a way I don't approve of)" |} It is predominantly [[agglutination|agglutinative]], as morphemes can generally be easily isolated. ===Morphological processes=== *''Infixation,'' ''stem modification'' (such as [[ablaut]]), and ''suprasegmental modification'' do not play roles in Trentish morphology. ====Prefixation==== Trentish is predominantly prefixing. Most derivation is formed by prefixes, and most verbal morphology is prefixed. {| | § || '''noikaƛi''' |- | || ''no''-ikaƛi |- | || <small>OCCUPATION</small>-trade |- | || "trader" |} Some prefixes, which may have once had a strong stress accent, cause a following vowel to drop, and appropriate assimilations to be carried out: {| | § || '''ixliiƛan''' |- | || ''ixli''-gùƛan |- | || <small>REVERSE</small>-find |- | || "misplace" |} ====Suffixation==== Some grammatical operations are carried out with suffixes. {| | § |colspan=2| '''rlrswum yetshenlyu''' |- | || rlrswu-''m'' || yetshe-''ny-lu'' |- | || dish-<small>PAT</small> || steal-1-2 |- | |colspan=2| (I know) "you are stealing a plate" |} ====Reduplication==== Reduplication is used to produce resultative nouns from verbal roots. {| | § || '''malimali''' |- | || mali-mali |- | || <small>REDUP</small>-speak |- | || "speech, message" |} In reduplication, no more than the first two syllables are reduplicated. Also, some complex segments are subject to simplification: ejective stops become plain stops, and ''ƛ'' becomes ''l''. {| | § || '''igaikaƛi''' |- | || iga-ikaƛi |- | || <small>REDUP</small>-trade |- | || "transaction" |} {| | § || '''lohƛoh''' |- | || loh-ƛoh |- | || <small>REDUP</small>-worry |- | || "concern" |} ===Head/dependent marking=== Trentish is mainly head-marking. ====Possession==== Possession is head-marking: a noun is marked for whether it is possessed, and by whom. {| | § || '''gatrnyü''' || '''gatrlusyi''' |- | || ''gate''-r-nyü || ''gate''-r-lusyi |- | || ''house''-<small>POSS</small>-1 || ''house''-<small>POSS</small>-2 |- | || "my house" || "your house" |} ====Nouns with adjectives==== Dependent-marking: adjectives cannot stand alone, but are either compounded to a noun, or to a verb such as ''kwr'' "be", which does not mark the head noun as being modified. ''[Perhaps it should?]'' {| | § || '''oxalüu''' || '''u oxalükwr '' |- | || oxalü-u || u oxalü-kwr |- | || dead-man || man dead-be |- | || "a dead man" || "a man who is dead" |} ====Prepositional phrases==== Head-marking: in many cases the preposition is compounded to the noun, thus '''anglu''' "in the throat". In longer words (including all words formed by reduplication), a different construction: {| | § |colspan=2| '''ngohlungohƛusheya exr''' |- | || ngohlungohƛusheya || e-xr |- | || award || with-3 |- | |colspan=2| "with an award" |} ====Verb phrases==== Head-marking: the verb takes markers for agent and patient, as well as the observer (or ''frame''). A verb can thus stand on its own as a full sentence. {| | § || '''xinisetenxyr''' |- | || xini-sete-ny-xr |- | || 3-kill-1-3 |- | || "(I know) she's killing him" |} ==Nouns== Prototypical Trentish nouns refer to concrete entities with implied or bounded quantity. They are found as the subjects of clauses, and incorporate with verbs as objects. They can take number and topic/second marking. ''Complex nouns'' (a category including proper names, reduplicated terms, and words longer than three syllables) do not normally participate in incorporation. ===The noun word=== The structure of the noun word is currently: * (prepositional)-(number)-(incorporated adjective)-(reduplication)-'''stem'''-(topic/second) ===Possessability=== Trentish has a class of words which are inherently possessed, that is, that must appear with a possessive, and a class of words which are optionally possessed, which may or may not appear with a possessive. Optionally possessed things are called '''apen'''. The possessive marker for inherently possessed words is '''-r-''' between the owned and the owner, while ''apen'' words are supposed to use a different construction. ''The information on this section is incomplete because it is lost. I may need to reinvent it, or get rid of the distinction [until recently I had forgotten entirely that possessability was a factor, and later translations may ignore this]...'' ===Number=== Trentish nouns are by default unmarked for [[number]]. There is, however, optional number marking, along two axes, paucal vs. plural and separate vs. aggregate<sup>? congregate?</sup> (physically grouped together). The singular may be overtly marked with '''sr̀-''' /s(ʌ)-/. {| cellpadding=5 | '''shatwoh''' || “dog/dogs” || || '''srshatwoh''' || “one dog/a dog” |- | '''meshatwoh''' || “a few dogs” <br> (in different places) || || '''qlumeshatwoh''' || “many dogs” <br> (in different places) |- | '''enshatwoh''' || “a few dogs” <br> (in one place) || || '''qlenshatwoh''' || “many dogs” <br> (in one place) |} The markers are: {| ! !! paucal !! plural |- ! separate | /me-/ || /ʔlu-me-/ |- ! aggregate | /el-/ || /ʔl-el-/ |} ===Topic/second=== Trentish nouns mark for “topic” and “second”. Roughly, topic is the most important argument of the verb (subject or direct object), and second is the other; indirect objects not being marked. The topic marker is '''-ba''' /-pa/, and the second marker '''-òm''' /-(ɔ)m/. {| | § |colspan=3| '''shatwohba shaƛumohm ungupshixr''' |- | || shatwoh-ba || shaƛumoh-m || u-ngupshe-i-xr |- | || dog-<small>TOP</small> || person-<small>SEC</small> || person-hunt-1-3 |- | |colspan=3| "The dog(s) hunt(s) a person/people" |} {| | § |colspan=3| '''shaƛumohba shatwohm ungupshixr''' |- | || shaƛumoh-ba || shatwoh-m || u-ngupshe-i-xr |- | || person-<small>TOP</small> || dog-<small>SEC</small> || person-hunt-1-3 |- | |colspan=3| "The person/people was/were hunted by dog(s)." |} ==Voice== Trentish verbs are marked for [[voice]]. There are five voices, '''active''', '''unergative''', '''unaccusative''', '''passive''', and '''middle'''. Their use depends on the presence of and importance given to the agent and patient. {| cellpadding=5 ! agent !! patient !! voice !! marker |- | high || low || ''active'' / ''middle'' || ∅ / /ʊk-/ |- | high || none || ''unergative'' || /tɬi-/ |- | low || high || ''passive'' / ''middle'' || ∅ / /ʊk-/ |- | none || high || ''unaccusative'' || /ʔuu-/ |} The middle voice is used if the agent and patient refer to the same entity (''me'' and ''myself'') or an entity and a part of itself (''me'' and ''my nose''). The ''high'' agent or patient is marked with the topic marker /-pɑ/. The ''low'' agent or patient is marked with /-(ɔ)m/. ==Aspect== There are at least six [[aspect]]s, which are focuses on the status of the event. {| cellpadding=5 ! aspect !! description !! marker |- | imperfective || seen as in progress || ∅ |- | perfective || seen as completed || /po-/ |- | iterative || seen as happening many times together || /tʰø-/ |- | cumulative || iterative with cumulative effect || /mel-/ |- | reluctative || seen as happening with reluctance || /ɑk-/ |- | effrenative<sup>?</sup> || seen as happening without reluctance <br> (either in a good or bad way) || /pʰli-/ |} ==Mood== {| cellpadding=5 ! [[mood]] !! description !! marker |- | indicative || seen as real || ∅ |- | probable || seen as expected or inevitable; <br> future || /tʷo-/ |- | fictive || seen as hypothetical; <br>subjunctive, infinitive, (negative) || /i-/ |} ==Adjectives== There are two types of adjective in Trentish, ''scalar'' and ''binary''. Scalar adjectives are always marked for degree (the simplest form is the positive /ʔo-/). Adjectives can be used nominally.

Ljarai, kabnut: "&#xDC;lstevat Ndekadolos Liv&#xFC;l". That's Aunt Melody. She's always optimistic, unlike other people. For instance, the sign that said, "Use Seat Cushion to Float".

Vels Meladi sol. "Osmaut kevau Sitrabintau ndno." Aunt Melody laughed. "The plane won't be traveling over the Pacific." "At soktsin, hautem autbesa ndaj&#xF6;ts mkivau askaribosmaut." "That will happen, when the pilot has to discard the fuel before the emergency landing." "Maks&#xFC;t&#xFC;m, Elisain. Kelauk osmauti radno." "Calm down, Liz. You've traveled by plane before."

I don't know how to win an argument with Aunt Melody, so I sat back, listening to sweat as it fell from my forehead. Sitting beside me, Aunt Melody returned to reading "Variety", which is, for a person in the entertainment industry, akin to the Bible for Christians. My aunt isn't a star, and she isn't on TV, but she does work for a Minneapolis opera company. She tells everyone she'll never be really significant, but she really enjoys using her voice, and I'm happy for her. At seremt kit&#xF6;m taseht litab, serem misnikmort lilat.

She invited me to visit her, and to see an opera performance. I was now accompanying her on a vacation in Disneyland. I was very excited about going to California, and I experienced goosebumps. At the moment, I could only think about how I wanted to survive the trip to Los Angeles. Osmaut laskai mekom. The plane suddenly began to move. Maur barjav sokbsemah, hari soksom. Mara autnitra svenjanai sokmedos sokmemis&#xFC;m. "Kelem nmakbohad, lidribara," kelem &#xF6;len&#xF6;len. The big door was closed with a thump. All the engines began to roar and whistle, and this scared me. "I don't want to die, because I'm too young," I thought over and over.

The plane then began to travel very quickly on the runway. The engines hugely energised the plane, and the plane began traveling up into the sky. I thought for a little while that the other passengers would fall towards me. My heart began to pound, but fortunately the plane then became horizontal. "Sai! M&#xF6;smaut tnela!" serem dor&#xFC;m. "Hurrah! The takeoff has ended!" I exclaimed. "Kelauk k&#xFC;mr. Osmaut &#xFC;sai ndabosmaut." "You're right. The plane just has to land now." "Lah! Kelem botek." "Thanks a lot.

I noticed two tiny scars, which were near his right eye; but no one is perfect, and I couldn't believe the luck. I was in the middle of thinking about what to say first, but then Aunt Melody threw an obstacle at me. "Marem nhreh, kelem jera." "I believe that we haven't identified ourselves." "Oja?" j&#xF6;b&#xF6; man kel. "What?" the man from a dream said. "Marem nkaskeh. Kelem Meladi Saimndsi kajosah." "We haven't introduced ourselves. I'm called Melody Symons." "Kelem Kindsli Kotvas kajosah. Kelauk Sanlorankava d&#xF6;s, N&#xFC; Saimnaim, kelem jer&#xFC;m, kelauk ljelsai bosrai hnaum." "I'm called Kingsley Fortune.

Aunt Melody asked a question, and then my mouth was left agape. After a few minutes of me being naive, I silently admitted that Kingsley might be too old for me. Aunt Melody might make an impression on Kingsley; I hoped for this, because then we might hang out with Kingsley in Los Angeles. Wow! Vels Meladit makmiloseh, serem hrai limekel. "Vels smin&#xF6;st kavt radno, Kindslain, at misnikmort tsin maremi elsai." Wanting to help Aunt Melody, I also began to talk.

I gathered from his face that Kingsley was impressed, but Aunt Melody raised her hand. "I'm not a star. I just sing for fun." Kindsli sol. "Kelauk bosrai mis, kelem dnava." Kingsley laughed.

I was pretending to open the package of peanuts, but while I watching the flight attendant, she whispered to another flight attendant, and the latter looked my way. I was certain that something was wrong, but what could I do? There was no such thing as the next stop, and I believed I couldn't use a parachute if my life depended on it. But it did. I began to sweat a lot, and I quickly began to hold the key ring from my brother Tom. It includes a rabbit's foot, and a four-leaf clover. Kindsli rjokat &#xF6;lent krasai kaultin.

We never say "Good luck" although that's what is meant." "Kelauk kaltankmor?" "You act?" At mekot, kontin talbaihau t&#xFC;l. "Kelauk k&#xFC;mr."

I inspected the blue eyes, and the bronze skin from the sun in California. I totally wanted to be given an autograph, but Aunt Melody, I believed to be likely, would then say I must learn to be tactful. I looked at Kingsley's hands to look for a wedding ring. He didn't have one, but he did have calluses. Kingsley noticed that I was staring, and stood up. "Kelem makhebsi," at kel, litrisn. "I'd like to come back," he said, and then walked away. "Smin kotvas?" serem Vels Meladit nok. "How much luck?" I whispered to Aunt Melody. "Elismetain, s&#xFC;mah!" "Elizabeth, please!" "Kelauk lauhtant tolat?" "Did you inspect his hands?" "Kelem tsin.

"A problem exists with the engine," she said, then paused; she apparently believed it likely that everyone would begin to talk. She was right. One guy began to swear, but a flight attendant calmed him down. I grabbed hold of Aunt Melody's hand, and squeezed the rabbit's foot very tightly. My heart was pounding very loudly. "Vai maknder&#xFC;m," at tekel. "Mara kobol bahat katebsah, at bosmau snt&#xFC;l. Vai askaraut dnava, kelem vilnaukrehusi hnaum." "Please don't be very nervous," she continued.

As the flight attendants worked hard for calm, I looked out the window at a wonderful orange sunset. The sun is dying, I said to myself; then a thing in my stomach became tight.

"How do you feel?" "Mat&#xF6;s, Kindslain. Kelauk?" "Very good, Kingsley! You?" "Kelem nja! Dehanmejalkau, osmautdolorusut maur mat mara hri. Mara hautauk vilna." "I'm perfect!

A flight attendant began taking back the dinner trays; I noticed that her hands had stopped shaking. She might have worried that she would discuss the frightening information. She smiled at me, and that oddly made me happy. "Mnara?" Vels Meladi el kel. "Osmaut salau nbosmaut, telotakai dausmi mkivau Lasandjelesi; kimraun&#xFC;?" "Excuse me," Aunt Melody said to her.

"Kelem askar&#xFC; k&#xFC;mr," serem Kindslit kel. "Autnitra nmt&#xFC;l, ut el smeh&#xFC; damrali." "I was right about a disaster," I said to Kingsley.

I realized that I had eaten too much, and then tried to smile. "Don't listen to me, everyone. I'm a girl." "Nuram lan," Vels Meladi hnaum. "Osmaut&#xFC;, marsel tojoska lan. Tojoska smehai dahm lilat&#xFC; lanut, kelem jera." "A remarkable girl," Aunt Melody said. "Pertaining to flying, an always paranoid girl. I believe that unfortunately the paranoia will stay the same because of the current experience." Hautem tekel. "Osmaut Lasandjelesain m&#xF6;r. Mara osmautemsko srit hneht sault ul mahrai. Mara kularauten saulau makkal&#xF6;nka, mara jol tin; kajost saulab limakser." The pilot resumed speaking. "At the moment, flight attendants are distributing small brown bags.

Did all planes have them in order to be ready for a crash? While I was thinking, I looked out the window at a horizon-associated thin red line. In the sky I saw a quarter-moon in the process of waking up, and total darkness below the plane. Osmautemsko stevat mahrai. "El stamksirjokab makbaus. Osmaut mtolakai bosmaut, mara hautauk askarimahani ndaul, hautem amhar&#xFC;m." A flight attendant distributed pillows. "Put this in the lap.

I looked out the window, and the sky suddenly became dark as the plane descended towards Los Angeles. The city streets were very bright, and they apparently never ended. I glimpsed a huge highway; at least twenty lanes existed. Then the plane turned, and I looked past dusky houses and bright streets to the red ocean. Om mars&#xF6;dau osmot ul lat?

After that, what would happen? Vilnak kabna sokvidsem eski sokhal&#xF6;s, sauv dat&#xFC;l mkiv limek&#xFC;m. Osmaut s&#xF6;di merih, mara autnitra laskai sokmevidos osmaut sokmesneh. A neon sign was flashing while my heart was working, but fog appeared because my face became wet. The plane became low in relation to the ground, and the engines suddenly began to briefly roar as the plane began to be vertical. "Maremain, askarimahani ndaul!" hautem dos. "Everyone, sit in the emergency pose!" the pilot shouted. Steva mekevbsenjokt, serem Vels Meladain lilat. "Ks&#xFC; kelem bulse," serem sokkel sokbsen.

Everyone will live." Serem kas tekel, osmaut daborjoka. Serem bokevt baksa stevat ati viskad. I tried to continue speaking, but the plane ceased being horizontal.

I held my breath and prayed for a long time, waiting to hear the frightening sound associated with collapsing metal, but no similar event happened. In fact everyone in the plane did not talk during one minute, but then everyone began to hysterically shout, began to laugh, and began to clap. Serem edlain lat, ket om dnaim jalm&#xF6;seh.

I imitated them, surrounding Aunt Melody with my arms very tightly; I thought she'd pop. After that, I remembered Kingsley, and realised that I had a golden opportunity which included me hugging Kingsley. But when I looked in his direction, I found a stunning thing. Kindsli vijob. Kingsley had fainted. ===Hru msanu: Chapter Two=== At latah, serem ret jera I couldn't believe that this had happened. Kindsli Kotvas maur nja man mara hri Dehanmejalkau, serem ontja, at ravijob. S&#xFC;m ket andel. "Marem bahad?" at Vels Melada lir&#xFC;m. Kingsley Fortune was probably the perfect man compared to all others in the United States, and he had fainted. The eyes quickly opened. "Is everyone alive?" he asked Aunt Melody in a whisper. "Marem bahad, marem vunja," Vels Meladi ardamai ldasa. "Kelauk sokk&#xFC;mr kelauk ol sokkel: osmautdolorust kavutau mivad. Hautem takinoltort oltor." "Everyone is alive, in fact everyone is perfect," Aunt Melody answered energetically. "You were right, when you said that this airplane company is of the highest quality in the country. The pilot deserves a medal." Kindsli &#xFC;lain sokbosneh ardamai sokbahad. At mhal &#xF6;ri edli s&#xFC;mi lilat. "Kelem ol ndaraiha: kelem nmakbateh, Elisain. Ks&#xFC; kelem drevna." Kingsley leaned back in his seat and breathed difficultly.

Marem smin&#xF6;sai svenjah; sid lint&#xFC;l, kelem vuvontja. Kelem ol k&#xFC;mr&#xFC;m: kelem Vinitekain doni makabas." "I'd like to eat a cookie, Kingsley!

"We haven't decided about that." "Ket kimlokau vihas?" "Where are you two staying?" "Anahaimau vihas. Kelem kajost botek." "A motel in Anaheim.

I stared at her, then quickly found <i>my</i> itinerary and answered Kingsley. "We'll visit the movie studio tomorrow, at Universal City," I continued helpfully. "Mat&#xF6;s lok. Kelem ken ndan&#xFC;seh, kelem makdos." "A wonderful place. I insist that I must accompany you." "At vai kot! Laskahai ket &#xF6;lent sel." "That's very good! We absolutely support the idea."

Aunt Melody angrily looked at me, but I pretended that I did not see it. Aunt Melody was apparently disinterested by Kingsley at the hour, but tomorrow I believed it likely she'd want to talk to Kingsley. Luckily, I threw a weapon. Osmauthasau, laskah oltin neb.

Many family members associated with the people on the plane cried because of joy, journalists interviewed people, and everyone was pushing each other because they were trying to see the "survivors" well. I felt important, and I really wanted to be interviewed, but Aunt Melody quickly walked through the crowd and then left the terminal.

I hoped that Kingsley would drive me and Aunt Melody to the motel, but the man decided to be interviewed; before losing sight of Kingsley, his gold-coloured hair was being lit by strobe lights while he described the final time on the airplane.

Although we had to travel by bus, I still enjoyed the trip to the motel. Los Angeles is huge; I believe that the bus traveled at least an hour to arrive at Anaheim--Disneyland is located there, by the way--and that the bus also traveled using approximately eight freeways. I wanted to eat cookies, because I was too busy with: I stared out the window at all the cars, and I was entertained by the incredible neon signs at the sides of the road.

I became very excited when I noticed this very important sign: <i>Disneyland Hotel</i>. It reminded me of the Taj Mahal in importance; I sat vertically while grabbing Aunt Melody's arm. "Bakri makjat! Ket mrav&#xFC;hau Disnikavau lok!" "Please look out the window! We're near Disneyland!"

The bus traveled near to the front of the driveway, and after a few seconds a monorail appeared, and paused traveling above the bus. It resembled a thing associated with a space movie: a long silver-coloured body, and flashing multi-colour lights; I totally wanted to travel by it one time. "Ket Vihas&#xFC;hau Disnikavau svihas, Vels Meladain? &#xDC;sau &#xF6;rau? Kelem ks&#xFC; makrem&#xFC; miloseh, kelem dos." "Might we stay at the Disneyland Hotel, Aunt Melody? During one night?

"Too little money exists to rent a broom closet here. We might visit the place." "Ket el ndatsin! Djolk&#xFC;mt lokutau neb, r&#xFC;n bat svara kel." "We must do that!

People staying at the hotel traveled by monorail to nearby Disneyland, the bus driver explained. Unfortunately, we didn't see Disneyland because of the darkness, so we traveled by taxi to our nearby motel. Soon I was trying out all the Los Angeles television channels; then as I experienced the warm night air on the balcony, I listened to the palm tree leaves rattling in the wind. Mlan ndesel k&#xF6;m, serem jera. I believed that the morning would never come. Roki! At datsin. Serem Vels Meladi drikorai ond, bahadsrau sneh.

I woke up early compared to Aunt Melody, and stood on the balcony. As I watched the road, many California people drove using Katella Avenue: a handsome guy in an old hearse with a surfboard in the back; a Hell-associated Angel on a candy apple-colour bicycle; and a gorgeous woman in a sports car. The wind was playing with the long blonde hair of that woman, and I believe it very likely that she was driving to the studio.

Me and Aunt Melody ate at the Hamburger House, but Aunt Melody refused to buy my hamburger. Then Kingsley arrived somewhat disappointingly by an old battered Chevrolet. I don't live in the sky, but I was envisioning a long black limousine, a sunglasses-wearing cute chauffeur, and a few buttons associated with everyone stereo. I was ready to take a picture of the limousine, so I asked Aunt Melody to take a picture of me and Kingsley. I became very happy after Kingsley put his arm around me!

Everyone entered the car, and Kingsley drove towards the Santa Ana Freeway. I requested that Kingsley explain the reason that many Spanish names are present in California. He granted the favour, and said this: the Spanish king owned the land in the distant past; the city was founded as "el pueblo de nuestra señora la reina de los angeles" (that means "City of the mother of God, queen of the angels").

I saw pretty mountains in the north; I didn't how to avoid laughing after Kingsley drove using a concrete channel and called it a river. A lot of rainwater could join the "rivers" and that could result in big floods, so the channels were paved, Kingsley said. But I couldn't imagine that a flood could replace the brown trickle.

Strangely during the whole trip, Aunt Melody spoke very little, but I didn't know why. Kingsley tried to wake her up, and showed all the important things, such as the sign associated with Hollywood, and a gold-coloured glass hotel with a stream in the lobby; but the man failed. "Jadsolau, kelem Kanjaukhes&#xFC; ost l&#xF6;t," at kel. "Ket kustah?" "On Sunday, I'll attend a church associated with cars," he said. "Are the two interested?" "Kanjaukhas&#xFC; ot, at kim?"

Aunt Melody didn't resume talking, but I was sure that she became happy about Kingsley, because she's very religiously devout. I did not want to see Aunt Melody stop being in a good mood, so I made a joke. "Kindslain, kelauk tsibmdai d&#xFC;ksi tolahev?" "Kingsley, do you eat chicken meat with your fingers?" "Kelem tsin." "I do." "Kelem dokar&#xF6;sah. Mar&#xFC;m om tsibmdai &#xFC;sai lahev." "I'm disgusted. Most people only eat the chicken meat."

Kingsley laughed heartily, and Aunt Melody did too, although she had heard the joke a few times before. Excellent! I searched my mind to find other jokes, but the car left the highway, and it began to ascend a green hill. "Aut Mara Bn&#xF6;st Kant m&#xF6;r," Kindsli kel.

I am forbidden from visiting the sound area while video cameras are turned on, but you can visit the Back Lot by tram. Special things are shown, such as the Red Sea parting." "Marem Saudrasvat lat?" "Will we see Jaws?" "Jala! Miktekhasa nmdalanjamal; kelauk betri mikali likajosah." "Yes! Don't move too close to the tank; you'll be called the headless kid." Vels Meladi Kindslit lat.

"I'll reply to you soon," Kingsley said, as he maneuvered the car in order to park it. I believe it to be likely that I've only seen a few bigger parking lots; many tour buses were parked there. While everyone was walking to the ticket office, I saw a bus from Alberta, and on it a sign about Canada. I became happy because I was feeling a bit homesick; soon afterwards, I became accustomed to seeing maple-leaf pins being worn, and badges, and hats. I believe it likely that half the population of Canada visited the place during the day. Mtai durau marem barjavi dno, serem Kindslit mesas Harhas&#xFC;hi Stokrsaunmani lihnaum. "At k&#xFC;mr?

We entered Castle Dracula through a stone archway, and sat down. Then I simply stared. An organ was being mournfully played; lightning lit up the windows. A table was located in front of me, and it was ready for a feast; I saw many silver candlesticks, and a white tablecloth; a sewing needle decorated the latter with Dracula's coat of arms. But I did not see one guest. Vai harjamman lihad, har&#xF6;s lotamhas vai har&#xFC;t b&#xFC;t tebsatebsa. Marokau, vai viln&#xF6;s viln&#xFC;m; s&#xFC;tak ibjasnom &#xFC;l&#xFC;m.

Suddenly, I saw Dracula while he stood near a flight of wide stone stairs. Although he was unexpectedly young, and very handsome--I saw long black hair, and beautiful dark eyes--I shuddered as Dracula's shoulder began to see the cape, and the vampire slowly descended the staircase. "Mara om kima d&#xF6;s? At tab&#xF6;st kaultin; kelauk el ndorom likim?" "Where have the people come from? They have intruded upon the feast; why did you allow that?"

[[Geminate]]d vowels and consonants are spelled double; in digraphs the first letter is doubled (e.g., ssh, nny, uuh). The letter ''r'' is strictly vocalic and has no consonantal value. ''W'' is mainly used as in digraphs as a sign of labialization, but does occur in some loanwords by itself; by those unfamiliar with [w] proper it is pronounced [ʔʷ]. ===Internal [[Sandhi]]=== ====Word-level==== * Trentish words can only end in a vowel or a nasal.

The typical contrasts of aspect in many languages can be shown using phrases in English. Here are some of the many aspects found in the world's languages: * Habitual: 'I walk home from work.' (every day) : 'I would/used to walk home from work.' (past habit) * Perfect: 'I have/had gone to the cinema.' * Imperfect: 'I went to the cinema.' * Imperfective: 'I'm going home.' (the action is in progress) * Perfective: 'I went home.' (the action is finished) * Progressive: 'I am eating.' * Prospective: 'I am about to eat.' * Inceptive: 'I am beginning to eat.' * Continuative: 'I am continuing to eat.' * Terminative: 'I am finishing my meal.' * Inchoative: 'My nose is turning red.' (from the cold) * Cessative: 'I am quitting smoking.' * Pausative: 'I stopped working for a while.' * Resumptive: 'I resumed sleeping.' * Punctual: 'I slept.' * Durative: 'I slept for an hour.' * Delimitative: 'I slept for a while.' * Protractive: 'The argument went on and on.' * Iterative: 'I read the same books again and again.' * Frequentative: 'I go to school a lot.' * Experiential: 'I have gone to school many times.' * Intentional: 'I listened carefully.' * Accidental: 'I knocked over the chair.' * Generic: 'Mangos grow on trees.' * Intensive: 'It glared.' * Moderative: 'It shined.' * Attenuative: 'It glimmered.' In some languages, such as [[Russian]], aspect is more salient than tense in narrative. Russian, like others, marks aspect using special morphology on the verb instead of periphrasis (auxiliaries, adverbs, etc.) as in English. [[Arabic]] shows a contrast between dynamic and static aspect (the concepts 'ride' and 'mount' are shown by the same verb, rukubun, static in the former case and dynamic in the latter). It is important to note that linguistic aspect is distinct from [[tense]], which pinpoints the ''time'' at which an action takes place, and is not related to its ''degree of completion'' (which might be a good way to describe aspect in layman's terms). Unfortunately, English (which, like most [[Indo-European languages]], hopelessly muddles tense and aspect in its verb system) is not ideal when attempting to underscore this distinction. {| border=1 style="float:right; margin-left:1em" |[[English]]||[[Serbian]] |- |I was eating||Ja sam jeo |- |I have eaten||Ja sam pojeo |- |I will eat||Ja ću jesti |- |[I will (intend to) have eaten]||Ja ću pojesti |- |I have been eating||Ja sam bio jeo |- |[I have eaten (a long time ago)]||Ja sam bio pojeo |} An example will be made of the verb "to eat" in [[Serbian]]. In Serbian, the verb exists in perfective and imperfective aspects; it could be translated either as "jesti" (imperfective) or "pojesti" (perfective). Now, each aspect could be used with each tense of Serbian (except present tense). Notice that, in first two examples, what in English language is expressed in two different tenses, in Serbian is expressed in the same tense, but with two different aspects. The second and third pair of examples show how aspects are combined with other tenses. English is generally considered to have two tenses, present and past, and these are then modified by two aspects, progessive/continuous and perfect. Tenses are then named according to the combination of aspects they posses. So we have for the present tense: *Present Simple (not progressive/continuous, not perfect) *Present Continuous (progressive, not perfect) *Present perfect (not progressive, perfect) *Present Perfect Continuous (progressive, perfect) It is to be stressed that these are the structural expressions of aspect and can convey meanings that would be expressed by separate and different aspects in other languages. As well as the two tenses, English has a certain number of auxiliary verbs called modals and these are combined with the infinitive to convey a variety of meanings, including those normally expressed in other European languages by the future and conditional tenses: *I will see you tomorrow. *I can swim. When combined with the modal auxiliaries the infinitive form changes to accommodate the same combinations of aspect available for the two tenses: *He can/will/might do (not progressive, not perfect) *He can/will/might be doing (progressive, not perfect) *He can/will/might have done (not progressive, perfect) *He can/will/might have been doing (progressive, perfect) In some languages, aspect and tense are very clearly separated, making them more distinct to their speakers. There are also a number of languages which care much more about aspect than tense. Prominent in this category is [[Chinese]], which differentiates a whole slew of aspects but relies exclusively on (optional) time-words to temporally pinpoint an action. ---- {{msg:Wikipedia}} [[wikipedia:Grammatical aspect|Grammatical aspect]] [[Category:Imported from Wikipedia]][[Category:Grammar]] Sisiwön 643 28854 2008-02-13T23:29:36Z Muke 1 category:collaborations "Sisiwön" is the provisional name of a collaborative Conlang, started in June 2004, by a small group of members of the Conlang list: Paul Bennett, Alex Fink, Rob Haden, Joe, and Robert "Trebor" Jung. The name itself, while phonologically compatible with the language, doesn't actually ''mean'' anything (yet). This page is essentially a public repository of information on Sisiwön. Work on the language is conducted in the Yahoo group [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conlangcollaboration ConlangCollaboration]. If you'd like to participate, feel free to join the group (as opposed to changing this page directly). == Phonology == === Consonants === {| ! !! Labial !! Labiodental !! Alveolar !! Lateral !!

Semivowels | - || - || - || - || j || w || - || - |} There may be a restriction preventing labialized and palatalized consonants from occurring before [u] and [i], respectively. === Vowels === There are a total of twenty phonetic vowels: i [I], ii [i:], ü [Y], üü [y:], ï [U_c], ïï [M:], u [U], uu [u:], e [E], ee [e:], ö [9], öö [2:], ë [V], ëë [7:], o [O], oo [o:], ä [a], ää [a:], a [A], aa [A:]. However, due to vowel harmony, any given word will only contain a subset of these, either the front series (i, ii, ü, üü, e, ee, ö, öö, ä, ää) or the back series (ï, ïï, u, uu, ë, ëë, o, oo, a, aa). It makes sense to think of Sisiwön as having five basic vowel phonemes (i, ü, e, ö, ä), plus two suprasegmental phonemes, [+long] and [+back], the latter occuring zero or one times in each word, affecting all the vowels in it. === Syllable Structure === It seems the consensus is CV(N) with N being any non-stop, non-affricate, or alternatively the aforementioned vowel-lengthening suprasegmental [+long]. The symbol C may also stand for a word-initial 0-, allowing vowel-initial words. === Word Structure === Any number of syllables, as defined above, with no other constraints known at this time. == Grammar == === Verbal Morphology === Verbs are marked agglutinatively for person and number of subject and objects (both direct and indirect), tense (past vs non-past), mood (indicative vs irrealis vs imperative), aspect (imperfect vs perfect) and evidentiality (probably as clitics, meanings as yet undecided). Inchoative and completive will probably be derivational and independent of the aspectual system. There are a small class of valence-increasing derivational operations that take f(x,y) -> g(z,f(x,y)), where g is "want", "cause", "allow", "prevent", or "fear", and maybe a small number of others. === Syntax === Syntax is overwhelmingly, perhaps exclusively, head-final. == Lexicon == === Swadesh List === #hand /p_hi:kE/ #left (hand) -/K9/ (/p_hi:kEK9/) #right (hand) -/rE/ (/p_hi:kErE/) #leg /N_wAtS)U/ ##left leg /N_wAtS)UKO/ #foot /x_wi:pa/ #to walk /x_wIxpE/ #tooth /mAtAn/ === Other === #baby /pElE/ #carry /k_wAnV/ #snail /q9lm9s/ [[Category:Collaborations]] User talk:PaulBennett 644 4007 2004-07-02T03:32:41Z Muke 1 hi!

[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0407a&L=conlang&F=&S=&P=10683 This Conlang post] gives the four verb constructions I'm having trouble with. I'd like some ideas so Kosi can express these constructions differently from English. Thanks. --Trebor, 12:21, 3 July 2004 EST :Well... In [[Trentish]] this construction has been used but is still undocumented (I should work on it..). These kinds of constructions use something I call a "frame verb": it is basically a verbal particle placed after the main verb. A sentence like "I believe him to be a problem" would interlinearize to "him-Topic problem-be-1p-3p ''believe''", where ''believe'' is the frame verb, and the main verb inflects to agree both with the agent of the main verb (him, 3p) and the agent of the frame verb (me, 1p). This construction also is used for other purposes, such as questions—the question frame verb ''nisya'' could be glossed as "which" or more literally as "want to know which"—or evidential particles ("know X is true", "suspect X is true", etc.). Theoretically these can stack on top of each other as well, with the medial frame verbs taking minimal verbal marking: "I suspect that you know that I believe him to be a problem" = "him-Topic problem-be-1p-3p ''believe''-2p ''know''-1p ''suspect''". —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] :Possibly [[mood]]s could be used for this—either an open, productive class of moods (...seems unlikely) or perhaps a small set of semantically broad ones that could be buttressed by specific words (similar to how a small set of [[counter]]s can cover all kinds of mass nouns). On the far hand you could degrammaticalize it entirely and require separate clauses: "I believe this: He is a problem", "he seems like this: he is good", "I promised him this: I will buy the cat food", "I persuaded him this: he will buy the cat food". Toki Pona does things like this, as does Anna Wierzbicka's Natural Semantic Metalanguage. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] == Accents in Atlanliŋwa == I have to design my accent system around a certain set of phonetic assimilation rules... Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what kind of accents sound natural. For that matter, I don't even know what kind of accent systems exist -- I know there's pitch accent (Japanese, Ural-Altaic) -- what does English use? Currently, I have this idea (in order of precedence): * Accent is determined before affixation or assimilation. # Single-syllable words are not accented. # Accent on the second syllable if the consonant is doubled. # Accent on the first syllable if it is pronounced as a long vowel (a, `o, yi and wu) (IPA: /a:/, /o:/, /i:/ and /u:/). # If the third syllable begins with y or w, accent the third syllable. # If the second syllable begins with a consonant that is not palatalised or labialised, and has the same place or manner of articulation as the third syllable's consonant and is not y or w, then ## If the first syllable is not palatalised or labialised, then accent on the first syllable ## Otherwise, accent on the third syllable # Otherwise, accent the second syllable. So, we have (&rarr; indicates post-assimilation): # mal # a'''τ̂i'''ka # '''a'''kàwa &rarr; '''a'''kwa # liŋa'''wa''' &rarr; li'''ŋwa''' # ## pyini'''ta''' &rarr; pyin'''ta''' ## '''a'''wàgalu &rarr; '''aw'''galu # la'''ga''' :A decent description of accentual systems in natlangs (in the context of devising a notation for describing them) along with an extensive list of example natlang stress patterns (described in the aforementioned notation) is found at the [http://www.cf.ac.uk/psych/ssd/ Stress System Database]. Strictly speaking I don't suppose a stress system has to be naturalistic; a lexical stress system can place accents any old how. :In other words, from a conlanger's perspective your method could work fine for assigning stress to words, but how will native Atlanliŋwa speakers place accent on a word they don't recognize? (They don't necessarily have to know. They might have to guess, if their language has primarily lexical stress. But a speaker of say Finnish would probably stress it on the first syllable, as any other word in their language.) :Any case as for ''kinds'' of accent, there are [[Wikipedia:Vocal stress|stress accent]] (based on loudness) and [[Wikipedia:pitch accent|pitch accent]] (based on, well, pitch), as well as tone accent. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 21:02, 16 Aug 2004 (PDT) ::Interesting. Since there are no such things as 'natural' accent patterns, I'll go forward with my idea then.

For instance, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia about virtually anything but is not a dictionary; Conlang Wiki is not a place to host everything about a conlang rather it's more like a portal, etc. :Well, it's meant to be mainly a place for people to present conlangs. That is, you can put as complete a grammar, lexicon, teach-yourself-whateverian, or phrasebook up here as you like. (Descriptions of concultures and related things also.) :Also, I would like the wiki to become a place to present topics in linguistics and conculturing, especially for a creator's perspective: i.e., not just a textbook description of, say, parts of speech, but also how conlangers can build on it (what they need or don't need; how natlangs and other conlangs handle them, etc.) :As for texts in conlangs, I'm not quite sure yet; clearly some illustrative texts would be allowed, although I'm ''not sure'' about, say, if someone wanted to undertake translating a Wikipedia and hosting here.

Is the null consonant actually an abbreviation of the glottal stop? (By null consonant I mean the "consonant" before the vowel in [a].)

I know that certain dialects of Japanese have minimal pairs for [pʔi] and [pi] and similar. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 04:46, 17 Sep 2004 (PDT) :I believe that some Polynesian or Pacific languages contrast initial [ʔa] and [a]. I believe in languages that do so the glottal stop is generally more distinctively pronounced than the non-phonemic use of glottal stop in other languages. Alternately to emphasize glottalless [a] one would use a vocalic onglide, such as [ḁa] or [a̯a]. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 07:42, 17 Sep 2004 (PDT) Some Tibetan dialects distinguish what is allegedly either /ʔ/ and zero or /ʔ/ and /ɦ/. Against the /ɦ/ hypothesis speaks that Hindi speakers '''don't''' hear the Tibetan འ as [ɦ]. OTOH the Lhasa dialect, which is kind of standard, has merged the two as /ʔ/ with the following vowel in high or low tone. Possibly it is /ʔ/ vs. /ɰ/ since Tibetan has /x/ as well, or the realization of 'zero' differs across dialects. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 12:50, 10 May 2005 (PDT) Um, well, if you look at it like difference for diphthongs. Let's say, the Cockney distinction between Bottle and Bowel. The word "Bottle" would be pronounced /baʔul/ (the dark /l/ turns the schwa /ə/ into an /u/ through velarisation), whereas "Bowel" would be pronounced /baul/ (it might be slightly different but it's phonetically possible in cockney). So there we have a distinction between a glottal stop and a null, the latter of which helps with diphthongisation.

PREAMBLE == The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. ==1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS == This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law. A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language. A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none. The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License. ==2. VERBATIM COPYING == You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies. ==3. COPYING IN QUANTITY == If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. ==4. MODIFICATIONS == You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: * A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. * B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. * C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. * D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. * E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. * F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. * G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. * H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. * I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. * J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. * K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. * L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. * M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. * N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. * O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. ==5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS == You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." ==6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS == You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. ==7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS == A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate. ==8. TRANSLATION == Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title. ==9. TERMINATION == You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. ==10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE == The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. == How to use this License for your documents == To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page: Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License". If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this: with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation. If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.

[[Category:General lexica]] [[Category:Henaudute]] Verb 657 3985 2004-08-01T16:27:52Z Muke 1 modify links A '''verb''' is a [[part of speech]] that usually denotes action ("bring", "read"), occurrence ("to decompose" (itself), "to glitter"), or a state of being ("exist", "live", "soak", "stand"). Depending on the [[language]], a verb may vary in form according to many factors, possibly including its [[tense]], [[aspect]], [[mood]] and [[voice]]. It may also agree with the [[person]], [[gender]], and/or [[number]] of some of its arguments (what we usually call subject, object, etc.). ==Valency== The number of arguments that a verb takes is called its '''valency''', or [[valence]]. According to valency, a verb can be classified as one of: * Intransitive (valency = 1): the verb only has a subject. For example: "he runs", "it falls". * Transitive (valency = 2): the verb has a subject and a direct object. For example: "she eats fish", "we hunt rabbits". * Ditransitive (valency = 3): the verb has a subject, a direct object and an indirect or secondary object. For example: "I gave her a book", "She sent flowers to me". It's possible to have verbs with valency = 0. A few of these appear in [[Spanish]] and other languages and may be termed "impersonal verbs". For example: ''Llueve'' = "It rains". Such verbs don't exist in [[English]] because in this language every verb must have a subject, even if it's a dummy one like "it". English verbs are often flexible with regards to valency. A transitive verb can often drop its object and become intransitive; or an intransitive verb can be added an object and become transitive. Compare: * ''I gave.'' (intransitive) * ''I gave blood.'' (transitive) * ''I gave blood for John.'' (ditransitive) In the first example, the verb ''give'' describes the idea of giving, in the abstract; in the second, what was given is specified; in the third, both the gift and the recipient are set forth. In many languages other than English, such valency changes aren't possible like this; the verb must instead be inflected for voice in order to change the valency. == Copula == A [[copula]] is a special kind of verb, sometimes called a ''linking verb'', that is used to describe its subject or equate or liken the subject with its predicate. Because copulas do not describe actions being performed, they are usually analysed outside the transitive/intransitive distinction. The most basic copula in English is ''to be''; there are others (''like'', ''seem'', ''become'', etc.). Some languages (the [[Semitic languages|Semitic]] family, [[Russian]], [[Chinese]] and others) can omit the simple copula equivalent of "to be", especially in the present tense. In these languages a [[noun]] and [[adjective]] pair (or two nouns) can constitute a complete sentence. This construction is called ''[[copula|zero copula]]''. == Verbal noun and verbal adjective == Most languages have a number of [[verbal noun]]s that describe the action of the verb. In [[Indo-European languages]], there are several kinds of verbal nouns, including [[gerund]]s, [[infinitive]]s, and [[supine]]s. English has gerunds, such as ''seeing'', and infinitives such as ''to see''; they both can function as nouns; ''seeing is believing'' is roughly equivalent in meaning with ''to see is to believe.'' These terms are sometimes applied to verbal nouns of non-Indo-European languages. In the Indo-European languages, verbal adjectives are generally called [[participle]]s. English has an [[voice|active]] participle, also called a present participle; and a [[voice|passive]] participle, also called a past participle. The active participle of ''give'' is ''giving'', and the passive participle is ''given''. The active participle describes [[noun]]s that are wont to do the action given in the verb, e.g. ''a giving person''. The passive participle describes nouns that have been the subject of the action of the verb, e.g. ''given money''. Other languages apply tense and aspect to participles, and possess a larger number of them with more distinct shades of meaning. ==Agreement== In languages where the verb is inflected, it often agrees with its primary argument (what we tend to call the subject) in person, number and/or gender. English only shows distinctive agreement in the third person singular, present tense form of verbs (which is marked by adding "-s"); the rest of the persons are not distinguished in the verb. Spanish inflects verbs for tense/mood/aspect and they agree in person and number (but not gender) with the subject. [[Japanese]], in turn, inflects verbs for many more categories, but shows absolutely no agreement with the subject. [[Basque]], [[Georgian]], and some other languages, have '''polypersonal agreement''': the verb agrees with the subject, the direct object and even the secondary object if present. ==See also== * [[Linguistics]], [[grammar]], [[syntax]], [[phrase structure rules]] * [[Tense]], [[aspect]], [[mood]], [[voice]] * [[Verb framing]] ---- {{msg:Wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Verb|Verb]] New Royce 658 9318 2006-05-29T13:54:36Z Muke 1 category cities '''New Royce''' ([[Ibran]]: Нөјв Ро̄с, ''Noif Roes'', '''here:''' ''New York'') is the fourth largest city in North America, after Mexico City, Toronto, and Los Angeles.

In [[1664]] the city was captured by the English and named ''New York''. During the [[Wikipedia:Third Anglo-Dutch War|Third Anglo-Dutch War]], in [[1673]], the city was retaken, but was returned to England as part of the [[Wikipedia:Treaty of Westminster|Treaty of Westminster]]. The Ibrians refused to accept English government and created the country of New Ibria. [intervening periods...] In [[2000]], the government instituted a spelling reform. By pressure from neighboring nations it is in a modified [[Cyrillic]] script. Reactions against it were heavy; New Royce's major newspaper, the ''Tieups,'' <!-- yes, it's amusing in English --> refused to adopt the new orthography altogether, calling it ''un scandal e abominazón.''

A fourth, is a brief period of transition time between Middle English and Modern English, known as Early Modern English. They are as follows: <br> [[Anglo-Saxon]] (also known as '''Old English''') <br> [[Middle English]] <br> [[Early Modern English]] <br> [[Modern English]] <br> ==The Dates of the Changes== The Anglo-Saxon language formed from invading groups of Angles and Saxons from Northern Germany to England. It was also affected by the [[Celtic]] languages around it, and from a heavy [[Old Norse]] influx from invading Danish Vikings. <br> <br> The start of the Middle English era is marked by the battle of Hastings in 1066. The French Normans (originally Vikings who were given land and gold in to protect France from other Vikings, Norman = North man) lead by William the Conqueror won the battle and took over the island from there. The Norman French version of [[Old French]] was not the "proper" French of the time, but much of the Old Norse influence was replaced by the French vocabulary. Quite a bit of it mixed with the Anglo-Saxon language and eventually Middle English emerged. <br> <br> The Early Modern English period is marked by the [[Great Vowel Shift]]. This is the primary sound shift that separates the dialects of Modern English to those of the Middle and Old English eras. There were other sound shifts, but that was the primary and most important one. [[Shakespeare]] is one of the more well known writers in this era. This era also preserved forms such as the informal pronoun and many forms of the subjunctive. <br> =English's Spread= English was spread by the colonisation by the British Empire. The Thirteen Colonies of America, Australia, India, and others were colonised by Britain and became primarily English speaking. The colonies eventually became the United States, and Australia, after many years of being a penal colony, had too gained independence. India also did so, many years later. Canada was originally a French colony that was won during the French and Indian war by the British, and English became an important language in the country. Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall, which were originally Celtic speaking were conquered by Anglo-Saxon or Norman French peoples and were eventually assimilated. Although there are still Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and Cornish speakers today, almost all can speak a dialect of English. After the United States had been established as an International power (after World War II), the spread of English grew even more than it had before. Today, English is the most spoken First and Second language in the world, mostly because of China's teaching it to most children in schools. It has also become a powerful [[Lingua Franca]] throughout the world. =Languages based on English= ==[[Creole]]s and natural descendants== *[[Tok Pisin]] *[[Scots]] *[[Hawai'ian Creole]], also known as '''Hawai'ian Pidgin''' *[[Spanglish]] *[[Gullah]] ==Constructed languages== *[[Volapük]] (with other sources) ==Sources== Page written by [[Timothy Patrick Snyder]]. ---- [[Category:Germanic natlangs]] [[Category:Real Language background pages]] [[Category:Linguistics]] User:Muke/Spelling 660 4030 2004-08-05T03:02:37Z Muke 1 more ''Notes on a revision of English orthography'' Basic principles: * Institute two different spelling systems, one for native words and one for foreign ones.

The author claims to be one Claude d’Bisque, a Frenchman of Basque ancestry, and purports to record his journey to a previously undiscovered island in the Atlantic, about two day’s sail west of France. The papers describe in tedious detail the particulars of how d’Bisque came to set out on the voyage, the Basque cod fishermen who guided him, the rather unremarkable ways of the inhabitants of the island, and the difficulties encountered on their attempt to leave. This is followed by a lengthy appendix relating details of the language of the island, which is of considerable interest, since its syntactic system is unique in the world. It has frequently been asserted that d’Bisque invented the language, as well as the island and the whole history related in his document; but this seems unlikely, for the following reasons. First, the linguistic appendix is written in the same handwriting and phraseology as the rest of the book, showing that d’Bisque is almost certainly the author. However, d’Bisque was no linguist, as shown by the corrupted Latin which he wrote, and the difficulty he had in describing the language Ch-m- Tlondor. The appendix consists of long word lists, lengthy passages of transcribed speech with margins filled with attempts at translation, and some completely misguided notes on grammar. For example, d’Bisque asserts that Ch-m- Tlondor was like Latin, in preferring to place the verb last in the sentence; but this is certainly not the case in the examples he gives. It is inconceivable that d’Bisque could have constructed this language himself from whole cloth. In this monograph I attempt to set out an orderly description of the language. I am no comparative linguist, and cannot hope to properly place it in the taxonomy of the world’s tongues; but I hope that this description will assist some other scholar to give it the attention it deserves. '''The Voyage of d’Bisque''' It may interest some to hear a brief summary of d’Bisque’s voyage and description of the “terra Tlandae”, as he called the island. In the early 13th century Basque fishermen had made long journeys into the Atlantic in search of cod, highly valued for its oil and meat. They brought back many strange tales of their adventures. D’Bisque hired some of these fishermen to take him to an island they had told of; the purpose of his journey was curiosity and a “caesarum cardorum”, perhaps a reference to a broken heart. The islanders, it was told to him, were magicians and could do wonderful things. D’Bisque brought along his sons Francis and Gerard. The voyage lasted two days, and at the end of that time they came to a single island rising from the middle of the Atlantic like the top of a mountain. On arrival at shore they were greeted by farmers, who expressed wonder at their seaworthy craft. These people, it seemed, never left their island. The Basque fishermen knew a little of the language of terra Tlandae and d’Bisque was fascinated by it; as noted above, he compiled extensive word lists and examples of sentences. The islanders could indeed do some magic, according to d’Bisque; they could call animals to them, move small objects with their minds, and see into the future. After spending a few days among the islanders, d’Bisque expressed an interest in climbing to the top of the mountain. The islanders warned him strongly against it, saying that it was the realm of very powerful magicians; but d’Bisque and his sons climbed to the peak anyway, believing that God would save them from heathen magic. At the top of the mountain, which took a day or so to climb, they saw no people. On their return to the village, the islanders refused to speak with them. They then took their leave, and sailed back toward France. But almost as soon as they set out, d’Bisque’s son Francis fell ill, speaking feverishly of a great king that was calling to him in his mind, and of a lavish feast the king offered him, along with many other earthly pleasures. As the voyage went on, Francis spoke with wild eyes of birds of iron, and horses with bellies of fire, and great underground cities. At last Francis began to speak in Ch-m- Tlondor, and babbled furiously in that language for many hours. At last he died, just as they reached France. D’Bisque ends this rather tedious account with speculation concerning terra Tlandae – specifically, that it is all that remains of the continent of Atlantis, and that the magicians of that great land live under the ground of their submerged continent. He closes with a prayer that God punish the magicians of that land for their wickedness. == Overview of Ch-m- Tlondor == The first and most striking thing noted by the student of Ch-m- Tlondor is that almost all words of all grammatical categories are bound morphemes – that is, words cannot stand alone, but must be morphologically bound to other words. This rule applies to all grammatical categories except adverbs, interjections, and some elements of the determiner class. Other classes of words are somewhat like the consonantal and vowel roots of Arabic, in that they consist of sequences of consonants and vowels that must be interleaved to create a complete word. For example, the noun “dog” is the consonantal sequence '''gm-ch-'''; it cannot appear alone, but must combine with a verb such as '''-ulm''', “run”, and an aspect infix (e.g. '''-a-''', perfective), to create '''gmachulm''', “the dog ran”. The following table elaborates on this example: {| border=1 |The dog ran |Gmachulm |- |The dog is running |Gmochulm |- |The dog will run |Gmichulm |- |The dog ate |Gmachich |- |The dog slept |Gmachidrif |- |The man ran |Namulm |- |The man ate |Namich |} At this point it should be clear why “Ch-m- Tlondor”, with dashes to indicate where morphological material is required, is the unfortunate way in which the name of the language must be represented in English. A name by itself is an argument; but since this language requires all arguments to be morphologically bound to predicates, it is impossible to write the name of the language alone, without predicating something of it. The true name of the language is '''Ch-m Tlondor''', literally “speech of Tl-nd-“ ('''Tl-nd-''' being the true name of “terra Tlandae”). Perhaps the closest one can come is to say "The speech of Tl-nd- is/exists", i.e. '''Chimid Tlondor'''. '''Phonology''' ''Phoneme inventory.'' Knowledge of Ch-m- Tlondor’s phonology is necessarily limited by the orthographic representation used by d’Bisque. The language appears to have a small inventory of vowels: i, e, o, a, u. It is unknown to what extent vowel quality may vary according to environment. Sonorants m, n, r, and l may appear as vowels. Ch-m- Tlondor does not have “ng” or “h”, or any voiced fricatives or affricates. It also has almost no coronal fricatives -- only "ch". However, it does have the voiceless velar fricative “x”, written as “hh” by d’Bisque. D’Bisque also appears to use “c” and “q” for “k”: “c” before o, a, u, and “q” before i and e. I have followed his orthography, except to use “x” for “hh”. ''Clusters.'' Ch-m- Tlondor admits a number of consonant clusters in both onset and coda position which English does not. In general, the language admits any onset cluster of the forms: *''(voiceless stop)(fricative)'' *''(voiced stop)(fricative)'' *''(voiceless stop)(sonorant)'' *''(voiced stop)(sonorant)'' Codas allow the same clusters, but in reverse order. For example, the onset cluster “tl-“ is permitted, as in the noun '''tl-c-''', “chowder”, and the coda cluster “-lt”, as in the verb '''-olt''', “scamper”. (This latter may be related to the noun '''l-t-''', “mouse”.) Sonorants may in general not cluster, except –rn, -rm, -ln, and –lm. Other apparent clusters of sonorants should be read as vocalic sonorants. For example, '''nl-d-''', “marriage”, should be read with three syllables “n-lo-dor” in the phrase '''nlodor''', “of marriage”. '''Morphology''' A note on some peculiarities of morphology are in order. ''Predicatization.'' Nominals may be converted to predicates, either to create a new lexeme (analogous to the history of the English verb “access”), or to permit the nominal to be used attributively (see ''Copula Statements'' below). The predicatization process inserts '''-o-''' between the consonant clusters of the nominal (note that '''-o-''' is the stative aspectual marker) and prior to the first cluster. Thus the nominal '''n-m-''', “man”, may be predicatized to '''-onom''', meaning “to man” or perhaps “manly”, as in '''powonom''', “that boy is a man.” ''Argumentization.'' Predicates, such as adjectives or verbs, may be converted to arguments, either to name a new object whose purpose is to perform the action, or to name the action or property itself. Argumentization reduplicates the final consonant of the predicate. Thus the verb '''-idfil''', “poke/impale”, may be argumentized to be a noun, '''idfil-l''', “impaling”. (The noun '''df-l-''', “spear”, is probably related as well.) Thus one can say '''idfilolid bodach''', “spearing of fish is easy”; compare '''dfalidfil badach''', “The spear impaled the fish.” '''Syntax''' In the Ch-m- Tlondor sentence, a subject combines with a verb and an aspect infix morphologically to create a complete sentence. Modifiers to the subject generally appear to the left of the verb; modifiers to the verb appear after. Objects of the verb appear after the verb, generally marked with an adposition affix; modifiers to these objects appear after them. Word order is thus fairly strict. The above generalizations apply to simple declarative statements and wh-questions (which are in-situ). Other categories have more complex forms: ''Polar questions.'' Here, the main verb is combined with an expletive nominal '''w-m-''' and moved to the beginning of the sentence. The subject of the sentence appears immediately after the verb, marked with an adposition '''-o-or'''. For example, “Is the man eating?” would be '''Womich nomor?''' ''Copula Statements.'' In cases in which two nominals are equated, as in “Tl-nd- is an island”, the second nominal undergoes a morphological process to change it into an adjectival element (see predicatization and argumentization below). In this case, the noun '''dr-mt-''', “island”, is predicatized into '''-odromt''' and the sentence is '''Tlondodromt'''. ''Imperatives.'' Here, the main verb is combined with the pronoun '''w-w-''' (you sng.) or '''w-r-''' (you pl.) to indicate imperative. Thus “Run!” would be translated as '''Wowulm!''' ''Subjunctives of Necessity (must, should, ought, need).'' The subjects of these sentences combine with the predicate '''-a-adrt''', and precede the verb, which combines with a pronoun indicating the subject. For example, “the man should be eating” appears as '''namadrt gogich''' ('''g-g-''' being “he”). ''Subjunctives of Possibility (can, could, may, might).'' This is the same as subjunctives of necessity, except that the subject combines with predicate '''o-oxrt''', and the verb appears at the beginning of the sentence. For example, “the dog can eat” appears as '''gogich nomoxrt'''. * [[Sample Texts of Ch-m- Tlondor]] * [[Etymology of Ch-m- Tlondor and Related Tongues]] * [[Conculture: Tl-nd-]] [[Category:Ch-m- Tlondor]] [[Category:Tl-nd-]] [[Category:Conlangs]] User:JeffLilly 663 4033 2004-08-06T17:32:23Z JeffLilly 5 I am a computational linguist; my interests center around lexical semantics, syntax, and historical linguistics.

Etymology of Ch-m- Tlondor and Related Tongues 666 6433 2006-01-17T22:27:40Z Muke 1 category: ch-m- tlondor == Ch-m- Tlondor's Language Family == It is not known whether Ch-m- Tlondor is a language isolate. Almost certainly its unique system of morphological predication is unique, but it is known that this system developed from a more standard system near the end of the Era of the Garden. Attempts to relate the language to other tongues based on lexical reconstruction have so far failed. '''Chomiz Talonid Or''':''Speech of Talonid'' ''Overview.'' This tongue, originally spoken on each of the Five Islands of Tl-nd-, was essentially agglutinative, with little in the way of inflectional morphology. It appears that in its oldest form it had a strict prohibition against consonant clusters, allowing only ''(stop)(liquid)'' combinations, and then only if the two consonants did not match in place (e.g. "pl" was permitted, as in '''ploz''', "bear", but not "dl"). Its inventory of phonemes included a set of fricatives not found in Ch-m- Tlondor: ''sh, s, z, th, dh, zh.'' ''Salient Features of Syntax.'' Chomiz Talonid Or was a strict SVO language. Noun compounding was not permitted; adjectives and adpositional modifiers appeared after the head noun. A rich set of auxiliary modifiers could be suffixed to a subject noun to indicate tense, aspect, necessity, possiblity, mood, and voice. '''Changes between Chomiz Talonid Or and Ch-m- Tlondor''' * Unstressed vowels were dropped. Thus '''Chomiz Talonid Or''' became '''Chomz Tlond Or'''. * Fricatives ''sh, s, z, th, dh, zh'' were dropped if they violated the syllabic structure of the language. Thus '''Chomz Tlond Or''' became '''Chom Tlond Or'''. * Internal vowels of verbs began to agree with the vowels of the auxiliary suffix. For example, the noun '''gimach''', "dog", and the verb '''ulmso''', "run", originally combined with the progressive '''-sho''' to create the form '''gimachsho ulmso'''. When the internal vowels began to agree, the form became '''gomochsho ulmso''' (or '''gmochsho ulm''' after the phonological changes noted above). * The internal vowels of subject nouns came to be seen as part of the marking on the noun, rather than phonological agreement. In other words, the base form of "dog" ceased to be '''gmach''' and became '''gm-ch''', with the internal vowel decided by the suffixed auxiliary marker. * As the base forms of nouns lost their internal vowels, the auxiliary marker vowel was used in other places in the clause. For example, in "he saw the dog", originally '''gegash ziti gimach zhach''', the auxiliary marker '''-ash''' (perfective) changed the internal vowel of '''geg''' ("he") to '''a'''. This '''a''' was then spread to other nouns in the clause to serve as the internal vowel, producing '''gagash it gmach zhach'''. * All remaining instances of fricatives ''sh, s, z, th, dh, zh'' were lost. * This phonological change contributed to the loss of the suffixed auxiliary markers, which were, in general, syllables of the form VC, with C a coronal fricative. With this loss, speakers began to treat the verb as a suffix; thus '''gagash it gmach zhach''' became '''gagit gmach ach'''. * The use of verbs as suffixes spread to other predicates, including postpositions and adjectives. Thus '''gagit gmach ach''' became '''gagit gmachach''', and '''Ch-m- Tl-nd- Or''' became '''Ch-m- Tlondor'''. '''Examples of change: full sentences''' '''Changes to Ch-m- Tlondor: the Era of Union and the Era of Dominion''' Development of the verb as feature marking on the subject noun: a grid of nine features of voice + lenition, on the first consonant gives a core verb, on the second consonant gives domain. Adpositional infixes develop into case marking; freer word order. Back to the main page of [[Ch-m- Tlondor]].

Genetically they don't differ enough from humans to be considered a separate species; the greatest difference is their capacity for [[magic of Nother|magic]]. All normal demihumans can do illusionary magic to varying degrees, and many have additionally a talent of substantial magic. This may contribute to their longer lifespans, an average of 75, a limit of about 150. A demihuman's natural appearance ''can'' be purely human, though for the most part they bear any of a range of physical features on the human frame that distinguish them, the least of them being distinctive eye, hair, and skin colors; fur, or unusual hair patterns; short horns, ridges, and other protuberances; and unusual height or body proportions. ===Rami=== The '''rami''' (/ˈrɑmi/, sg. and pl., variously spelled) are a nonhuman people, but roughly man-shaped; the most noticeable difference is the presence of a tail and wings. The tail is prehensile; the wings manipulable but not powerful enough to enable actual flight. Rami have no magical ability whatever; some claim them to lack imaginative faculties altogether, but this is disputed. Rami live from 120 to 200 years. Rami coloration varies similarly to human coloration, though instead of being along a basically peach–brown–dark-brown spectrum with other undertones, the basic colors are light-blue–blue-gray–dark-gray. ===Dragons=== The '''dragons''' are by nature polymorphs. Their native form is draconic; they may assume easily a human or rami form, and for convenience that is generally how they present themselves. They generally prefer the rami form, which retains more familiar anatomy. They accumulate considerable substantive magic ability over the span of their lives. They are solitary by nature, and have been known to live at least two hundred years. ==Minor races== *Trents *Brownies *Maccans (/məˈkæn/, /ˈmækən/) *Griffins ==Preternatural† races== (†for lack of a better word) *Nightmare, or ''incubus'' [[Category:Races]] Nother 714 57693 2010-11-16T05:28:44Z Muke 1 link timeline Author: [[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] ==Languages of Nother== *[[Atlantic]] *[[Âdlantki]] *[[Nother/Drake|Drake]] *[[Kirumb]] *[[Trentish]] ==Other articles== *[[Races of Nother]] *[[/Timeline/]] [[Category:Nother]] Nother/Kirumb 715 59154 2011-02-03T01:25:59Z Muke 1 /* Phonology */ diphthongs {{infobox|name=Kirumb (''Kirómbos'')|tu=[[Nother]]|pronounce=English: <span style="white-space:nowrap">/kəˈrʌm/</span><br>Kirumb: <span style="white-space:nowrap">[kɪˈruːmβʊs]</span>|species=[[Races of Nother|demihumans]]|in=Southeastern Europe<br>[[../Timeline|1st c.

The [[../Kirumbi|native speakers]] called the language ''Kirómbos,'' which was also the appellation of their own people. In origin the word is an ordinary adjective applied to things of or pertaining to [[../kelvins|gryphons]], and was still occasionally so used in the historical period. Inscriptions found at [[../Corinth|Corinth]] attest that ΚΙΡΟΥΜΒΟΣ or ΚΙΡΩΜΒΟΣ was a designation known to at least some [[Races of Nother|human]] (or at least Grecophone) inhabitants of the city. The modern name used in English is Kirumb. ==Phonology== ===Vowels=== The [[Kirumb]] vowel system is simplified from the [[Proto-Indo-European|Indo-European]], the original mid vowels ''*e'' and ''*o'' having merged into the high vowels ''*i'' and ''*u''. Kirumb {{IPA|/yː/}} has no short counterpart due to continuing a PIE diphthong ''*au'', an unusual change via a [[../Proto-Hadwan|Proto-Hadwan]] sound symbolized as ''*øː''. {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i iː}} || ({{IPA|y}}) {{IPA|yː}} || || || || || || || || {{IPA|u uː}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || ({{IPA|e eː}}) || || || || || || || ({{IPA|o oː}}) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|ɑ ɑː}} |} Parentheses denote phonemes found only in borrowed words (chiefly from [[Greek]]).

(1) A fellow named Adrian (I forget his last name, and he's since disappeared) is the one who came up with the idea for having a flag, and he handled all the voting and hosted the site that showcased the proposals. (2) The idea for the sun in the background and the two color bars came from my flag (David Peterson), that was originally a black band on the bottom, sky blue on the top, and a rising sun in the middle with the Egyptian glyph for "tongue" in black in the middle of the sun. (3) Sai Emrys came up with the idea of using purple and black, since that color combination wasn't used in any other flag. (4) Jeffrey Henning came up with the idea of using the Tower of Babel on the flag. (5) Someone specific (though I forget who) came up with the idea of separating the purple from the black with a yellow band. (6) Someone else specific also came up with the idea of a curved ground rather than a flat ground. (7) Christian Thalmann came up with the design combining all these elements, and the final ziggurat design (he improved it significantly from Jeffrey's first sketch). Just thought I should make a note of this somewhere, as it was kind of a community-wide effort on the Conlang-L.

Contemporary languages in this family include [[Hindi]], [[Bengali]], [[German]], [[English language|English]], [[Portuguese]], [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Spanish]] (each with more than [[1 E8|100 million]] native speakers), as well as numerous smaller national or minority languages. Indo-European is the largest family of languages in the world today, with its languages spoken by approximately 3 billion native speakers; the second largest family of tongues is [[Sino-Tibetan languages|Sino-Tibetan]]. There are other, controversial supergroupings. ==Descendants== Languages descended from [[Proto-Indo-European]]. ===Natural languages=== ''Category:'' [[:Category:Indo-European natlangs|Indo-European natlangs]] {| valign=top | * [[Albanian]] * [[Armenian]] * [[Greek]] * [[Illyrian]] * [[Messapic]] * [[Phrygian]] * [[Tocharian]] * [[Thracian]] * [[Venetic]] | * [[Anatolian languages]] * [[Balto-Slavic languages]] * [[Celtic languages]] * [[Germanic languages]] * [[Indo-Iranian languages]] * [[Italic languages]] |} ===Constructed languages=== * ''Category:'' [[:Category:Indo-European conlangs|Indo-European conlangs]] ==Classification== The various subgroups of the [[Indo-European]] family include (in historical order of their first attestation): * [[Anatolian languages]] &mdash; earliest attested branch, from the 18th century BC; extinct, most notable was the language of the [[Hittites]]. * [[Indo-Iranian languages]], descending from a common ancestor, [[Proto-Indo-Iranian language|Proto-Indo-Iranian]] **[[Indo-Aryan languages]], including [[Sanskrit]], attested from the 2nd millennium BC **[[Iranian languages]], attested from roughly 1000 BC, including [[Avestan]], [[Kurdish]] and [[Persian]] **[[Dardic languages]] **[[Nuristani languages]] * [[Greek language]] &mdash; fragmentary records in [[Mycenaean]] from the 14th century BC; [[Homer]] dates to the 8th century BC.

In addition to the classical ten branches listed above, there are several extinct languages, about which very little is known: * [[Illyrian languages]] &mdash; possibly related to Messapian or Venetic; relation to Albanian also proposed. * [[Venetic language]] &mdash; close to Italic. * [[Liburnian language]] &mdash; apparently grouped with Venetic. * [[Messapian language]] &mdash; not conclusively deciphered. * [[Phrygian language]] &mdash; language of ancient [[Phrygia]], possibly close to Greek, Thracian, or Armenian. *[[Paionian language]] &mdash; extinct language once spoken north of Macedon. * [[Thracian language]] &mdash; possibly close to Dacian. * [[Dacian language]] &mdash; possibly close to Thracian and Albanian. * [[Ancient Macedonian language]] &mdash; probably related to Greek, others propose relation to Illyrian, Thracian or Phrygian. * [[Ligurian language]] &mdash; possibly not Indo-European; possibly close to or part of Celtic There were no doubt other Indo-European languages which are now lost without a trace. The fragmentary [[Raetian language]] cannot be classified with any certainty. Further subfamilies have been suggested, among them [[Italo-Celtic]] and [[Graeco-Aryan]]. Neither of these is widely accepted. [[Indo-Hittite]] refers to the hypothesis that there is a significant separation between Anatolian and all the remaining groups. ===Satem and Centum languages=== [[Image:Centum Satem map.png|thumb|260px|Diachronic map showing the Centum (blue) and Satem (red) areals. The supposed area of origin of Satemization is shown in darker red ([[Sintashta-Petrovka|Sintashta]]/[[Abashevo culture|Abashevo]]/[[Srubna culture|Srubna]] cultures).]] The Indo-European sub-branches are often classified in a [[Satem]] and a [[Centum]] group. This is based on the varying treatments of the three original [[Velar consonant|velar]] rows. Satem languages lost the distinction between labiovelar and pure velar sounds, and at the same time [[sibilant|assibilated]] the palatal velars. The centum languages, on the other hand, lost the distinction between palatal velars and pure velars. Thus, geographically, the "eastern" languages are Satem (Indo-Iranian, Balto-Slavic, but not including Tocharian and Anatolian), and the "western" languages are Centum (Germanic, Italic, Celtic). The [[Satem-Centum isogloss]] runs right between the Greek (Centum) and Armenian (Satem) languages (thought to be related by a number of scholars), with Greek exhibiting some marginal Satem features. Some scholars think that there may be some languages that classify neither as Satem nor as Centum (Anatolian, Tocharian, and possibly Albanian). It should be noted that the grouping does not imply a claim of [[monophyly]]: there never was a "proto-Centum" or a "proto-Satem", but the sound changes spread by areal contact among already distinct post-PIE languages (say, during the 3rd millennium BC). {| align="center" |[[Image:IndoEuropeanTreeA.PNG|thumb|800px| Indo-European Language Tree]] |} ===Suggested superfamilies=== Some linguists propose that Indo-European languages are part of a hypothetical [[Nostratic language]] superfamily, and attempt to relate Indo-European to other language families, such as [[South Caucasian languages]], [[Altaic languages]], [[Uralic languages]], [[Dravidian languages]], [[Afro-Asiatic languages]]. This theory is controversial, as is the similar [[Eurasiatic languages|Eurasiatic]] theory of [[Joseph Greenberg]], and the [[Proto-Pontic]] of John Colarusso. ==History== {| align=right |[[Image:IE5500BP.png|thumb|232px|right|late [[Proto-Indo-European language]] in the [[Kurgan]] framework]] |- |[[Image:IE4500BP.png|thumb|232px|right|mid 3rd millennium BC distribution]] |- |[[Image:IE3500BP.png|thumb|232px|right|mid 2nd millennium BC distribution]] |- |[[Image:IE2500BP.png|thumb|232px|right|distribution around 250 BC]] |- |[[Image:IE1500BP.png|thumb|232px|right|post- [[Roman Empire]] and [[Migrations period]] distribution]] |- |[[Image:IE0500BP.png|thumb|232px|right|late medieval distribution (after [[Islam]]ic, [[Hungary|Hungarian]] and [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] expansions)]] |} ''See also: [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]], [[Historical linguistics]], [[Glottochronology]].'' The possibility of common origin for some of these languages was first proposed by [[Marcus Zuerius van Boxhorn]] in 1647, proposing their derivation from "[[Scythian]]". However, the suggestions of van Boxhorn did not become widely known and were not pursued. The hypothesis was again proposed by [[William Jones (philologist)|Sir William Jones]], who noticed similarities between four of the oldest languages known in his time, [[Latin]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Sanskrit]], and [[Persian]]. Systematic comparison of these and other old languages conducted by [[Franz Bopp]] supported this theory, and Bopp's ''Comparative Grammar'', appearing between 1833 and 1852 is considered the starting point of [[Indo-European studies]] as an academic discipline. The common ancestral (reconstructed) language is called [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] (PIE). There is disagreement as to the original [[geography|geographic]] location (the so-called "[[Urheimat]]" or "original homeland") from where it originated. There are two main candidates today: # the steppes north of the [[Black Sea]] and the [[Caspian Sea]] (see [[Kurgan]]) # [[Anatolia]] (see [[Colin Renfrew]]). Proponents of the Kurgan hypothesis tend to date the proto-language to ca. 4000 BC, while proponents of Anatolian origin usually date it several millennia earlier, associating the spread of Indo-European languages with the Neolithic spread of farming (see [[Indo-Hittite]]). ===Kurgan hypothesis=== {{main|Kurgan hypothesis}} The Kurgan hypothesis was originally suggested by [[Marija Gimbutas]] in the 1950s. According to the Kurgan hypothesis, early PIE was spoken in the [[chalcolithic]] steppe cultures of the 5th millennium BC between the [[Black Sea]] and the [[Volga]]. Currently, her theories do not hold credence with most reputable scholars. Ms. Gimbutas's so-called Kurgan peoples theory relies heavily on Kurgan burial mounds. Unfortunately, it is unproven that these so-called Kurgan peoples were ever members of the Indo-European culture-linguistic group. Precisely because '''known''' ancient Indo-European cultures, (i.e. the Indo-Aryans [people of India], the Greeks, Estruscan/Romans, and the ancient norse peoples), universally practiced '''cremation''' and '''not''' burial. This contradiction with known and recorded cultural practices of cremation amongst proven ancient, yet geographically diverse Indo-Europeans groups, casts doubt on the probability that the so-called Kurgan culture were Indo-European. With these caveats in mind, below is outlined Gimbutas' Kurgan hypothesis. Timeline *4500&ndash;4000: '''Early PIE'''. [[Sredny Stog culture|Sredny Stog]], [[Dnieper-Donets culture|Dnieper-Donets]] and [[Samara culture|Sarama]] cultures, [[domestication of the horse]]. *4000&ndash;3500: The [[Yamna culture]], the prototypical [[kurgan]] builders, emerges in the steppe, and the [[Maykop culture]] in the northern [[Caucasus (geographic region)|Caucasus]]. [[Indo-Hittite]] models postulate the separation of [[Anatolian languages|Proto-Anatolian]] before this time. *3500&ndash;3000: '''Middle PIE'''. The Yamna culture is at its peak, representing the classical reconstructed [[Proto-Indo-European society]], with [[Ukrainian stone stela|stone idols]], early two-wheeled proto-chariots, predominantly practicing [[animal husbandry]], but also with permanent settlements and [[hillfort]]s, subsisting on agriculture and fishing, along rivers. Contact of the Yamna culture with late [[Neolithic Europe]] cultures results in the "kurganized" [[Globular Amphora culture|Globular Amphora]] and [[Baden culture|Baden]] cultures. The [[Maykop culture]] shows the earliest evidence of the beginning [[Bronze Age]], and bronze weapons and artefacts are introduced to Yamna territory. Probable early [[Satemization]]. *3000&ndash;2500: '''Late PIE'''. The Yamna culture extends over the entire Pontic steppe. The [[Corded Ware culture]] extends from the [[Rhine]] to the [[Volga]], corresponding to the latest phase of Indo-European unity, the vast "kurganized" area disintegrating into various independent languages and cultures, still in loose contact enabling the spread of technology and early loans between the groups, except for the Anatolian and Tocharian branches, which are already isolated from these processes. The Centum-Satem break is probably complete, but the phonetic trends of Satemization remain active. *2500&ndash;2000: The breakup into the proto-languages of the attested dialects is complete. [[Proto-Greek]] is spoken in the [[Balkans]], [[Indo-Iranian languages|Proto-Indo-Iranian]] north of the Caspian in the [[Sintashta-Petrovka]] culture. The Bronze Age reaches [[Central Europe]] with the [[Beaker culture]], likely composed of various Centum dialects. [[Proto-Balto-Slavic]] (or alternatively, [[Proto-Slavic]] and [[Proto-Baltic]] communities in close contact) develops in north-eastern Europe. The [[Tarim mummies]] possibly correspond to proto-[[Tocharians]]. *2000&ndash;1500: The chariot is invented, leading to the split and rapid spread of [[Iranian languages|Iranian]] and [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indo-Aryan]] from the [[Andronovo culture]] and the [[Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex]] over much of [[Central Asia]], Northern [[India]], [[Iran]] and Eastern [[Anatolia]]. Proto-Anatolian is split into [[Hittite language|Hittite]] and [[Luwian]]. The pre-Proto-Celtic [[Unetice culture]] has an active metal industry ([[Nebra skydisk]]). *1500&ndash;1000: The [[Nordic Bronze Age]] develops (pre-)[[Proto-Germanic]], and the (pre-)[[Proto-Celtic]] [[Urnfield]] and [[Hallstatt culture|Hallstatt]] cultures emerge in Central Europe, introducing the [[Iron Age]]. [[Proto-Italic]] migration into the [[Italian peninsula]]. Redaction of the [[Rigveda]] and rise of the [[Vedic civilization]] in the [[Punjab region|Punjab]]. Flourishing and decline of the [[Hittite Empire]]. The [[Mycenaean civilization]] gives way to the [[Greek Dark Ages]]. *1000 BC&ndash;500 BC: The [[Celtic languages]] spread over Central and Western Europe. Northern Europe enters the [[Pre-Roman Iron Age]], the formative phase of [[Proto Germanic]]. [[Homer]] initiates Greek literature and early [[Classical Antiquity]]. The Vedic Civilization gives way to the [[Mahajanapadas]]. [[Zoroaster]] composes the [[Gatha]]s, rise of the [[Achaemenid Empire]], replacing the [[Elamites]] and [[Babylonia]]. The [[Cimmerians]] ([[Srubna culture]]) are replaced by [[Scythians]] in the Pontic steppe. [[Armenians]] succeed the [[Urartu]] culture. Separation of Proto-Italic into [[Osco-Umbrian languages|Osco-Umbrian]] and [[Latin-Faliscan languages|Latin-Faliscan]], and foundation of [[Rome]]. Genesis of the [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] and [[Old Italic alphabet|Old Italic]] alphabets. A variety of [[Paleo-Balkan languages]] are spoken in Southern Europe. The Anatolian languages are [[language death|extinct]]. ===Competing hypotheses=== [[Colin Renfrew]] in 1987 suggested that the spread of Indo-European was associated with the [[Neolithic revolution]], spreading peacefully into Europe from [[Asia Minor]] from around 7000 BC with the advance of farming (''wave of advance''). Accordingly, all of [[Neolithic Europe]] would have been Indo-European speaking, and the Kurgan migrations would at best have replaced Indo-European dialects with other Indo-European dialects. [[Thomas Gamkrelidze]] and [[Vyacheslav V. Ivanov]] in 1984 placed the Indo-European homeland on [[Lake Urmia]]. They suggested that [[Armenian language|Armenian]] was the language which stayed in the Indo-European cradle while other Indo-European languages left the homeland. They are also the originators of the [[Glottalic theory]]. Some people have pointed to the [[Black Sea deluge theory]], dating the genesis of the [[Sea of Azov]] to ca. 5600 BC, as a direct cause of the Indo-European expansion. This event occurred in still clearly Neolithic times and is rather too early to fit with Kurgan archaeology. It may still be imagined as an event in the remote past of the [[Sredny Stog culture]], and the people living on the land now beneath the Sea of Azov as possible pre-Proto-Indo-Europeans. Other theories exist, often with a nationalistic flavour, sometimes bordering on [[national mysticism]], typically positing the development ''in situ'' of the proponents' respective homes. One prominent example of such are the Indian theories that derive [[Vedic Sanskrit]] from the [[Indus valley civilization]], postulating that Vedic Sanskrit is essentially identical to Proto-Indo-European, and that all other dialects must ultimately trace back to the early Indus valley civilization of ca. 3000 BC. This theory is not widely accepted by scholars. See [[Indo-Aryan migration]] for a discussion. Another example may be the [[Paleolithic Continuity Theory]] proposed by Italian theorists that derives Indo-European from the European [[Paleolithic]] cultures. ==Sound changes== {{main|Indo-European sound laws}} As the Proto-Indo-European language broke up, its sound system diverged as well, according to various [[sound law]]s in the daughter languages. Notable among these are [[Grimm's law]] in [[Proto-Germanic]], loss of prevocalic ''*p-'' in [[Proto-Celtic]], loss of prevocalic ''*s-'' in [[Proto-Greek]], [[Brugmann's law]] in [[Proto-Indo-Iranian]], as well as [[Satemization]] treated above. [[Grassmann's law]] and [[Bartholomae's law]] may or may not have been still common Indo-European. ==References== * {{cite book | last = Watkins | first = Calvert | title = The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots | publisher = Houghton Mifflin | year = 2000 | id = ISBN 0618082506 }} * [[August Schleicher]], ''A Compendium of the Comparative Grammar of the Indo-European Languages'' (1861/62). * Leszek Bednarczuk (red.), ''Języki indoeuropejskie''.

It is similar to the game called by names such as Telephone or Chinese Whispers, where a message is whispered from person to person, often in the process being changed beyond recognition. Instead of by whispers, in a relay the text is passed by translation: it is translated from the conlang it is received in, into one's own conlang, and then passed to the next person to be translated. The resulting text is generally much changed; a tendency noticed in early relays was for the original texts to mutate into creation myths. ==External links== * [http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/relayrule.html Rules for the Conlang Relay Game] * [http://www.valdyas.org/mailman/listinfo/relay CONLANG Translation Relay] — mailing list for organization of conlang relays * [http://steen.free.fr/relay10/old_relays.html List of participants in previous relays] * [http://dedalvs.free.fr/relay/oldrelays.html David J.

After having done so, we can add a kind of okurigana for inflections and such and we have a readymade scheme to represent all Indo-European languages. Oversimplificated? You betcha.

Of course some of these words inflect, so the Latin word for "one", for example, won't just be 一, but perhaps something like 一us, 一a, 一um. ---- ===Characters=== ''I think a better approach would be to assign roots to each 字 first, and then flesh out the individual languages, rather than the other way around.

It's from a Germanic element *tigu- (which may or may not be related) meaning something like "decad, group of ten" so we might use a separate character such as 拾 or perhaps better 什. [Similar goes for like Latin, where -gint- marks decads and -decim teens]. ==Unresolved Issues== *Are there appropriate characters for prefixes and suffixes? A feminine suffix for ''regina'' and ''vixen'' would be useful, but not nearly as useful as the various suffixes Latin uses. *:A lot of the prefixes are just the regular prepositions, so we could use their 字 for them...—[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 22:08, 30 Sep 2004 (PDT) *:Suffixes will be harder, as a lot of them outside a few basic ones like *-no- and *-to- they're pretty locally focussed. For example the suffix of ''vixen'' (*-i(:)n-) doesn't appear to be the same suffix as that of ''regina'' (originally *-niH2-, apparently)... For suffixes, then, perhaps we can break the root-correspondence and go for functional correspondence instead (but that'll mean establishing a standard set of correspondences, and finding a way to handle synonymous suffixes...)... Either that or just spell suffixes out. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 22:08, 30 Sep 2004 (PDT) *How do we distinguish between a native word and a borrowed word using the same character? Will they be distinguished at all? *:Hmm.

I recall a proposal (can't find it now) to use (optionally brush-stroke-styled) futhorc for okurigana. It would work for furigana, too, and it's an appealing proposal. But I wouldn't want to spell out every reading in full. I suggest minimal phonetic disambiguation. Let's take for an example ''break/frac-/frag-/-fring-/'' and kin. Assume (I haven't checked) that in English overall, ''break'' is the most common reflex. Then, in standard orthography, it gets the bare character. (Well, OK. Actually, some of the senses of ''brake'' count here too: sheet-metal brakes and canebrakes are cognate with ''break,'' but vehicular brakes are not. So we'll need to sample a corpus, see what fraction of ''brake'' citations have those senses, and adjust the frequency counts to inflate the frequency of ''break'' and deflate ''brake'' accordingly.) Maybe ''frac-'' is next, so we write it with the character plus a ruby ''f''; and then ''frag-'' with ''f,'' possibly a filler symbol, and ''g''. By the time we get down to ''frangible'' and ''infringe,'' we've added the ''n'' and a vowel character, and then we hit ''friable,'' where we spell the root ''fr'' and use a symbol that means there are '''not''' other unwritten consonants, but that we are spelling the reading out in full. Of course, that's the generic public-schools-and-newspapers standard; a scientific journal might adopt a house style guide that says ''frac-'' or ''frag-'' is written without ruby, and require a ''b'' for ''break;'' likewise a tort law publication would surely write ''infringe'' without annotating it every time. There's one other problem with this, which is the spelling of vowels; vowel systems of English dialects vary like mad even before you try to spell them with an orthography (like futhorc or Roman letters) that reflects an archaic form of the system. It's not such a problem for ''frangible'' and ''infringe,'' but there could easily be some IE root that has two reflexes in English that differ only in vowel, and whose vowels are pronounced very differently in different dialects. We could adopt the heavy approach, which is to declare or create a reference dialect and spell the vowels according to it, or we could adopt a lighter approach: Repurpose the vowel runes as vowel-quality runes that mean 'front,' 'back,' 'high,' 'low,' 'tense,' 'lax,' or what have you. (Faking up, of course, a fairly mnemonic pairing so that the 'i' rune means either 'high' or 'front', etc.) Then we write these pairs with minimal indication of the necessary contrast, and let each reader render the particulars of the vowel according to dialect. I think this is much prettier, more flexible, and more Han-like (Hanly? Hannish?) than trying to explicitly render the full pronunciation from one reference dialect would be. [[User:Eritain|Eritain]] 21:07, 6 December 2006 (PST) *What's to be done about words that replace the original IE stem? If 犬 is to be English ''hound'', then what will ''dog'' be? *What about taboo forms? ===-to- suffix=== For the suffix *-to-, which in most languages (except, um, Greek) represents a completed action, I suggest maybe 了, which in Chinese forms a similar function (marking perfective aspect).

I guess that's what we get for borrowing so many verbs in participle form :| *:For cleanliness' sake, isn't there a 字 that indicates the previous sign be doubled? 々, I believe. We could use that for reduplication too, maybe. *:Hmm, the basic sense of "了" is "perfect", which is something that is basically default in English anyway: imperfects ("progressives") are marked specially, with -ing. Thus e.g. 予(na)了 "donate" doesn't get used in any imperfect constructions: only in things like "I donate [regularly]" (habitual), "[If] I donate" (irrealis), and "I [will/should/like to] donate" (infinitive). If it was past, we'd have "予(na)了々" (it will look like a "rule" that verbs in -了 take a ppl in -々) or "(was) 予(na)了ing".

It is often an allophone of [[Alveolar nasal|/n/]] before a [[velar]] sound. In languages such as [[Mandarin]] Chinese it may be argued to be a syllable-final allophone of [[Bilabial nasal|/m/]]. It is unusually common for the velar nasal to be prohibited from appearing at the beginning of the word; this is the case in nearly all languages of Eurasia, for example (the [[Samoyedic languages]] and languages of southeast Asia are notable exceptions). This evidently is a consequence of the nasal being much rarer as a consonant [[phoneme]] than its [[Bilabial nasal|labial]] and [[Alveolar nasal|coronal]] counterparts: many languages that do have it as a phoneme have developed it from clusters such as /nk/ or /nɡ/ (the latter is the origin of the phoneme in [[Germanic languages]], for instance) that cannot occur word-initially. It is also not unlikely for the sound to be constrained entirely to the syllable-final position (again, see Mandarin). The dedicated IPA letter <ŋ> is formed as an amalgamation of <[[n]]> and <[[ɡ]]>. There is also a [[IPA capitals|corresponding capital letter]], <Ŋ>; this comes in two [[allograph]]ic forms, the other resembling an <N> with a hook (preferred in [[Samic languages]]), the other a larger, descenderless form of the lowercase glyph (preferred in African languages using the letter). ===Velar nasals in natlangs=== '''[[English]]''' {| | Voiced || ng || sing /sɪŋ/ |- | || n(k,g) || sank /sænk/ [sæŋk] |} '''[[Ancient Greek]]''' {| | Voiced || γ(γ,κ,ν,μ,χ) || ἄγγελος [áŋɡelos] |} '''[[Latin]]''' {| | Voiced || g(n) || magnus /magnus/ [maŋnʊs] |} ===Velar nasals in conlangs=== '''[[Atlantic]]''' {| | Voiced || [[Image:Kirumb-small-letter-angma.png|24px]] (ŋ) || viŋe [vìŋə] |} '''[[Ithkuil]]''' {| | Voiced || ņ || [http://home.inreach.com/sl2120/Sound_Files/cons-5a.mp3 gaņiut /ɡaŋiut/] |- | Unvoiced || hņ |- | Voiced geminated || ņņ || [http://home.inreach.com/sl2120/Sound_Files/cons-35b.mp3 sa’weņņün /saʔweŋŋʉn/] |} [[Category:Phonetic segments|ŋ]] File:Kirumb-capital-letter-saadi.png 745 4130 2004-10-16T16:08:14Z Muke 1 Kirumb capital letter śādī.

As such, it is inherently nasalized. The sound's [[extIPA]] symbol - a digraph of [[f]] and [[ŋ]] - suggests the stereotypical articulation to be [[voiceless]] and with a [[velar]] closure as the oral part, but velopharyngeal friction can be combined with any phonation and [[buccal]] stop. A possible way to transcribe other variants may be appending a lowering diacritic to a nasal consonant: [m̞], [n̞] etc. The sound is not used [[Phoneme|phonemically]] in any [[natlang]] (it is however a possible speech defect) nor in any known [[conlang]] in active development. Contrast with other classes of nasal fricativs, the [[nareal fricative]]s (constricted at the nostrils) and [[nasalization|nasalized]] fricatives (constricted orally).

The Wiki Way™ is to start from pages that already exist and follow links to pages that don't exist to create them. In practical terms, this means you can go to your user page (while logged in, click on your username in the bar across the top of the page) and add a link to the page title you'd like to create, for example <tt><nowiki>[[Blastwegian]]</nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki>[[List of monarchs of Blastwegia]]</nowiki></tt>. (Placing a topic in double brackets will create a wiki link. For more on wiki formatting, see [[Help:Editing]].) After saving, the link will probably be red, indicating the page it points to doesn't exist yet. Click on it to start editing your new page. The link step is however not necessary, so if it happens that you don't want anyplace linking to your new page, it's possible to start a new one by simply typing the corresponding URL. Eg. set your browser for http://wiki.frath.net/ExampleTitle to start the page [[ExampleTitle]]. If the page title you want already has an article on it... things may get more complicated.

The Sun and the North Wind. */ ==WORD FORMATION ''tan yèxnëmérvan''== ===General Rules=== *098. Senyecan has a well-developed system of word formation in which roots are modified by various prefixes, suffixes, and inflectional endings to form new words. ''E.g.'', the root '''ed-''', eat, may give '''éda''', to eat; '''édon''', food; '''édïin''', edible; '''eðdémon''', restaurant; '''veédïin''', inedible; '''édun''', eater. *099. A ''root'' is that part of a word which remains after its formative elements are removed. It gives the meaning or abstract idea apart from its relations. It is not necesssarily a monosyllable. *100. A ''simple word'' is formed from a single root. A ''compound'' word is formed by combining two or more roots. *101. The verb is the most important part of speech in Senyecan. A major part of the Senyecon lexicon is derived from verbs. To the verbal root are added prefixes and suffixes to form other words, such as nouns and adjectives, ''e.g.'', '''némv-a,''' to steam; '''némv-on''', steam; '''némv-in''', steamy. In many languages this example would seem to be of a noun which has given rise to a verb. It is not understood that way in Senyecan. Words that are not derived from verbs are called ''non-derivative'' words. *102. Other parts of speech formed from a verbal root are called ''deverbatives,'' ''e.g.'', '''rezréµan''', principality, from '''réßa''', to rule. *103. There are eight categories of words in Senyecan. **a. The verb with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', '''tíírsa''', to defy; '''tíírsan''', defiance; '''tíírsin''', defiant; '''tììrsu''', nevertheless; '''tììrsa''', despite; '''tììrsi''', although. **b. The non-derivative noun with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', '''rúðson''', metal; '''ruðsáágun''', metalworker; '''rúðsin''', metallic. **c. The non-derivative adjective with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', '''súntin''', alert; '''súntëtan''', alertness. Any non-derivative adjective can be used as a verb: '''musúnta''', I am alert. **d. The non-derivative adverb with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', '''ààru''', so, thus; '''ààri''', therefore. **e. The non-derivative pronoun, ''e.g.'', '''mun''', I. **f. The non-derivative postposition with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', '''bee''', outside of; '''béérin''', outer; '''béérun''', foreigner. **h. The non-derivative conjunction, ''e.g.'', '''µo''', or. **g. The non-derivative interjection, ''e.g.'', '''µái''', woe. *104. The basic form of the Senyecan verb is called the triphonetic root. In its simplest form, it consists of a consonant, a vowel(s), and a consonant (CVC, '''µen-'''), or a null, a vowel(s), and a consonant (0VC, '''aus-'''). *105. A lengthened triphonetic root can be formed by inserting a non-plosive consonant (N) before the last consonant (CVNC), ''e.g.'', '''semb''', '''0oln-'''. *106. Compound verbs may be formed by adding a proclitic element to the triphonetic root, ''e.g.'', '''puµáða''', return. These proclitic elements may be any part of speech. As with enclitics, the proclitic element is pronounced on the basal pitch. *107. To this triphonetic root are added the various prefixes and suffixes to form compound words, ''e.g.'', nouns from verbs. *108. Syllabic augments are added to the complete verb and not to the proclitic or the triphonetic root, ''e.g.'', '''mupumáða''', I return; '''e-mupumáða''', I returned. *109. Pronouns, non-derivative adverbs and postpositions, and non-derivative nouns and adjectives have their own forms independent of any triphonetic root. To these also may be added the various prefixes and suffixes to form other parts of speech, ''e.g.'', '''múúsin''', moss; '''múúsmin''', mossy. *110a. If the root of the first element in the compound word ends in a single consonant and the initial letter of the second element is a vowel, the second element is added to the root of the first element, ''e.g.'', '''tíír-a''', scrape, + '''óndon''', stone = '''tiiróndon''', scouring stone. '''óóšin''', swift, + '''óren''', hawk = '''oošóren''', goshawk. **b. If the root of the first element in the compound word ends in a single consonant and the initial letter of the second element is a consonant, the second element is added to the root, ''e.g.'', '''aabél-on''', apple, + '''ÿéélon''', wine = '''ààbelÿéélon''', cider. But remember lenition, ''e.g.'', '''éda''', to eat + '''léépon''', plane = '''eðléépon'''. **c. If the root of the first element ends in a double consonant and the second element begins with a consonant, an epenthetic e is added for euphony, ''e.g.'', '''móðrin''', blue + '''rúðson''', metal = '''mòðrërúðson''', cobalt. **d. If the root of the first element ends in a double consonant and the second element begins with a vowel, the second element is added to the root, ''e.g.'', '''órv-a''', inherit + '''oíton''', unit = '''òrvoíton''', gene. **e. If the first element in the compound word ends with a palatalized or labialized consonant, en epenthetic ë is added for euphony, ''e.g.'', '''mínö-in''', little + ''cááµen''', owl = '''mìnöecááµen''', little owl. ===Denominatives=== *111. Denominative words are compound words built on the root of a noun. ====Nouns from nouns==== *112a. Most of the names of animals have only one word for both sexes. These are known as ''epicene'' words, ''e.g.'', '''ólšen''', moose. In order to designate the sex of epicene words, a prefix is added. **b. To designate a male animal, the prefix is '''øs-''', ''e.g.'', '''éšöen''', horse; '''øséšöen''', stallion. **c. To designate a female animal, the prefix is '''ii-''', ''e.g.'', '''éšöen''', horse; '''iiéšöen''', mare. *113. The noun suffix '''-ážen''' when added to the root denotes various kinds of small ungulates, ''e.g.'', '''ghooréton''', mountain ridge; '''ghòòretážen''', chamois. *114. The noun suffix '''-áágun''' when added to the root denotes one who works with or is concerned with what is named in the noun root or one who makes or composes what is named in the noun root, ''e.g.'', '''naaúson''', boat; '''nààusáágun''', sailor. *115.

The noun suffixes '''-l-''' and '''-c-''' when added to the root denote diminutives of or terms of endearment for what is named in the noun root. Because these suffixes are enclitics, the primary pitch remains on the original syllable of the root word. When both are added to the noun root, '''-l-''' precedes '''-c-''', ''e.g.'', '''cááµen''', eagle owl; '''cááµlen''', Scops owl; '''cááµlëcen''', pigmy owl. *120. The noun suffix '''-lïen''' when added to the root denotes the young of animals, ''e.g.'', '''šásnen''', hare; '''šásnëlïen''', leveret. *121.

Senyecan Time and Calendar== *The Eons. £ ð ø ö Senyecan history/mythology is divided into seven eons ('''aayáni''') of 156,000 years each. The 1st eon is that of the Self-existent &, in reality, stretches back eternally. At the end of that eon, s/he created light & that is the 2nd eon. At the end of the 2nd, s/he created the cosmos & that is the 3rd eon. At the end of the 3rd, s/he created the elements & that is the 4th eon. At the end of the 4th eon, s/he created the loquent beings & that is the 5th eon. The 5th eon is divided into 6 eras ('''mèÿdiitáni''') of 26,000 years each. At the beginning of each era, s/he created one of the loquent beings: Children of Air, of Fire, of Water, of Earth, of Wood, of Stone. After the era of the Children of Stone, there was the 6th eon of harmony among all the loquent beings. Then came the Great Sundering, during which many fell out of harmony. After allegiances were re-aligned, the 7th eon began, in which we live today. *The Solar Cycle. Both the solar & the lunar cycles are used in the Senyecan calendar. The solar year begins at the winter solstice ('''ÿòòmsuulsáátan'''). Eight celebrations are held in conjunction with the solar year. The primary celebations are the winter solstice, the vernal equinox ('''µèsnëmeðséntan'''), the summer solstice ('''lèèÞsuulsáátan'''), and the autumnal equinox ('''òsnëmeðséntan'''). The secondary celebrations are the cross-quarter days of midwinter ('''meðÿóóman''' [Imbolc]), midspring ('''meðµésnan''' [Beltane]), midsummer ('''meðléétan''' [Lughnasadh]), and midautumn ('''meðósnan''' [Samhain]). *The Lunar Cycle. The lunar cycle contains 13 months. The first month begins at sunrise on the day after the full moon after the winter solstice. The other months begin at sunrise on the day after the successive full moons. These months are known as winter moon ('''ÿoomlúxnan'''), late winter moon ('''qàsÿoomlúxnan'''), early spring moon ('''ààyerµèsnëlúxnan'''), spring moon ('''µèsnëlúxnan'''), late spring moon ('''qasµèsnëlúxnan'''), early summer moon ('''ààyerleeÞlúxnan'''), summer moon ('''leeÞlúxnan'''), late summer moon ('''qàsleeÞlúxnan'''), early autumn moon ('''ààyeròsnëlúxnan'''), autumn moon ('''òsnëlúxnan'''), late autumn moon ('''qasòsnëlúxnan'''), and early winter moon ('''ààyerÿoomlúxnan'''). *The Moon's Phases. Each of the phases of the moon begins a new "week," known as a '''lùxnëmérvan''' (moon phase), or '''mérvan''' for short. Thus, the mérvan can vary in length from six to nine days. The "week" begins and celebrations are held on the day after each phase is at its fullest. The first six days of each phase are named after the avatar reverenced by each of the six loquent beings in the order of their creation: '''lùxnëdïéyan''' (Moon day - Children of Air); '''ààterdïéyan''' (Aaterun's day - Children of Fire); '''neerdïéyan''' (Neer's day - Children of Water); '''sèègïëdïéyan''' (Seegyun's day - Children of Earth); '''pèrcöëdïéyan''' (Percwun's day - Children of Wood); and '''puusdïéyan''' (Puusun's day - Children of Stone). Additional days in the phase bear the names '''alïòidïéyan''', one extra day; '''àlïëdöiidïéyan''', two extra day; and '''àlïëtirdïéyan''', three extra day. The names of the six days are used for the seven days of the contemporary week, being preceded by '''suuldïéyan''', Sun's day, a day dedicated to the Self-existent as s/he is in him/herself, not as an avatar. '''Néérun''' and '''Séégïun''' are female, the rest are male. P.S. The names of the six avatars are also used for the six visible moving heavenly bodies, treated as animate beings. '''lúxnen''' = moon; '''aatéren''' = Mercury; '''nééren''' = Venus; '''séégïen''' = Mars; '''pércöen''' = Jupiter; '''púúsen''' = Saturn. ==Appendix II.

[[Category:Phonology]] Jamastulu 784 8172 2006-03-25T20:57:09Z Muke 1 [[category:conlangs]] --[[User:Kurasmanja|Kurasmanja]] 14:29, 22 Nov 2004 (PST) Question: What do you get when you take phonetic features from Georgian and Czech and mix them with a phonology based on Finnish? Answer: Jamastulu. Jamastulu is the brainchild of Rob Hoelz, and is being created for an RPG to give one its cultures a more realistic feel. (And also to confuse the gamer!) It has an as-of-yet unnamed sister language, and both languages are descended from a conlang known as Proto-Jama until a better name is created. Rob is currently fleshing out the grammar of Proto-Jama and has already planned a great deal of sound changes to transform it into Jamastulu, and one of the other collaborators on the project is working to create the sister language. Facts about Jamastulu: - Jamastulu is literally translated as "Tongue of the Desert." - It is spoken by the Jamaskura (Shadows of the Desert). - It has three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) and around eight cases (currently being worked on), but suprisingly barely distinguishes number. - In spite of its somewhat complicated noun system, its verbs are relatively simple, not inflecting for person or number. ==Phonology== The phonemes of Jamastulu are given with their transliteration and the X-SAMPA equivalent in brackets on the right. ==Consonants== {| ! !! Labial !! Labiodental !! Dental !! Alveolar !! Postalveolar !! Palatal !! Velar |- ! Plosives | p[p], pp[p_>] || - || t[t], tt[t_>] || - || - || tj[c], ttj[c_>] || k[k], kk[k_>] |- !

Approximants | - || - || - || l[l] || - || j[j] || - |} The following sounds are pronounced approximately as in English: p, t, k, m, n, v, l Other sounds: tj, nj, sj, zj: Palatal versions of their dental/alveolar counter parts. pp, tt, ttj, kk: Glottalized versions of their voiceless aspirated equivalents. r, rr: Pronounced as Spanish r and rr respectively. (Tapped and trilled r) ss, zz: Pronounced as English s an z respectively. s: Pronounced as English sh. z: Pronounced as s in the English word mea'''s'''ure. j: Pronounced as English y in '''y'''es. ==Vowels== The vowels are very similar if not identical to those of Finnish: a - as a in f'''a'''ther e - as ay in d'''ay''' (only a pure vowel, not a diphthong) i - as ee in f'''ee'''t o - as oa in m'''oa'''t (also a pure vowel) u - as oo in f'''oo'''d y - no equivalent in English, as ü in German '''ü'''ber. (If you don't know how that sounds, round your lips while pronouncing Jamastulu i.) ö - no equivalent in English, as ö in German sch'''ö'''n. (If you don't know how that sounds, round your lips while pronouncing Jamastulu e.) ä - similar to e in b'''e'''d. ==Word structure== Jamastulu prefers open syllables, and each word (other than compounds) is usually no longer than two syllables in length. A Jamastulu word typically has the following structure: (C)V(V)(C)(C)(ss, r)V(V)(ss, r, or N) where C is a consonant, V is a vowel, and nasal is one of the nasals. NOTE: Words cannot end in dipthongs. ==Consonant clusters== Consonant clusters can only occur in the middle of a word in Jamastulu, and only the following are allowed: N + S (where the two are at the same place of articulation) N + r N + ss S + r S + ss (except for tss) N + S + ss N + S + r where S is a stop and N is a nasal. ==Diphthongs== Diphthongs can occur anywhere in the word other than the final position. The diphthongs of Jamastulu are the following: ai au oi ou ui uo ua ue yi ==Related articles== [[Proto-Jama]] [[Category:Conlangs]] User talk:Kurasmanja 785 4173 2004-11-23T00:03:29Z Muke 1 hi!

Basque 788 58592 2010-12-16T02:09:48Z Tropylium 756 /* Phonology */ == Introduction == Basque is a [[language isolate]] spoken in the Pyrenees by approximately 700,000 people on either side of the France-Spain border. It is an [[agglutinating]] language with an extensive [[case system]] and verbal [[morphology]]. == Phonology == {| ! Point of Articulation ! Stop ! Nasal ! Trill ! Tap ! Fricative ! Lateral ! Approximant ! Affricate |- ! Labial | p b | m | | | f (1) |- ! Alveolar | t d | n | rr | r | s z (2) | l | | ts tz |- ! Post-Alveolar | | | | | x<br/>[ʃ] | | | tx<br/>[tʃ] |- ! Palatal | tt dd<br/>[c ɟ] | ñ<br/>[ɲ] | | | | ll<br/>[ʎ] |- ! Velar | k g | | | | j |} # f is quite rare, and mostly occurs in loan words such as kafe. It is arguably not a sound originally present in Basque # the distinction between s and z is not one of voicing, but rather s is apical (the tongue tip rather than the blade creates the sound). s sounds somewhat like [S]. Voiced stops are also often softened inside words until they become fricatives (b → β, d → ð, g → ɣ) or vanish entirely. The Basque vowel system is a standard i e a o u similar to Spanish, with no distinction for length, and no nasal vowels (except in one dialect). There are several diphthongs including eu au ai ei. ==The Noun Phrase== The constituents of the [[Noun Phrase]] are ordered as follows: relative_clause noun adjective adjective .... determiner Every noun phrase must have a [[determiner]] and in almost every case it has exactly one. Most go at the end of the NP, but numbers greater than one and certain others such as zein "which" precede the NP. Note that Basque is somewhat unusual in that the heavy [[relative clause]] precedes the [[noun]] while [[adjectives]] follow it. === The Case System === ====The Determiner -a==== The default determiner in Basque, often translated as "the", is the suffix -a added onto the end of the noun phrase. THis often combines with the case affixes. For example:<br><br> autobusa<br> autobus-a<br> bus-NP<br> the bus<br><br> autobusean<br> autobus-ean<br> bus-loc<br> in the bus<br><br> If these did not combine with would have *autobusan. ====Cases==== Basque has a large number of case affixes, including:<br> * [[Ergative]] * [[Absolutive]] * [[Dative]] * [[Instrumental]] * [[Inessive]] * [[Allative]] * Possessive Genitive (1) * [[Genitive]] # The genitive and possessive genitive have different functions. The genitive is used for such things as origin (and never with animates), whereas the possessive genitive is used for possession and in the construction of some post-positional phrases. The case endings in Basque always apply to noun phrases, and since adjectives always follow their noun this means that it is often not the noun itself which recieves the case marking. It is also common for [[determiners]] to recieve the case marking. Many of the determiners have slightly irregular case forms. For example: <br><br> kalean<br> kale-a-n<br> street-NP-loc<br> In the street<br><br> kale batean<br> kale bat-ean<br> street one-loc<br> In a street<br><br> kale zaharrean<br> kale zahar-ean<br> street old-loc<br> In the old street<br> The case system reflect number with a three way distinction: case ending with article (always singular), indefinite number (when the number is specified by a determiner or number elsewhere in the NP), and plural number. For example: mendira<br> mendi-ra<br> to the mountain<br><br> mendietara<br> mendi-e-ta-ra<br> to the mountains<br><br> bi menditara<br> bi mendi-ta-ra<br> to two mountains<br><br> As you can see, when the NP is qualified by "bi" (two), then the plural -e- vanishes leaving the indefinite case ending, since the number is already specified. ====Ergativity==== Basque is probably most famous for being an [[ergative]] language (I have often seen it used as an example). What this means (in the case of Basque) is that in transitive clauses the [[Patient]] is unmarked, as is the single argument of an intransitive verb, and the [[Actor]] takes a separate marker. Some examples:<br> mutila joan da<br> mutil-a joan da<br> boy-NP go pres.3st.sing.abs<br> the boy goes<br><br> mutilak kafesnea nahi luke<br> mutil-a-k kafesne-a nahi luke<br> boy-NP-erg coffee-NP want cond.3rd.abs.3rd.erg<br> the boy would like some coffee<br><br> As you can see, in the transitive sentence the Actor (the boy) takes an extra marker -k, whereas the Patient (coffee) does not. Interestingly, a common continuous construction results in agreement with the [[Actor]] only. For example: <br><br> ni etxea egiten ari naiz<br> ni etxea egi-ten ari naiz<br> I-abs house-NP make-prog act pres.1st.abs<br> I am making the house<br><br> here, an intransitive auxilliary agreeing with the [[Actor]] is used even though egin (to make) is transitive. Both arguments are marked as abs although the verb disambiguates in this case. This is because ari which has come into use as an auxilliary is an intransitive verb. ==The Verbal System== The Basque verbal system works in a way relatively rare outside of the [[Caucassian Languages]]. Most verbs have no [[finite forms]] of their own, only participles and must be used with an auxilliary to obtain a finite form. There are at most 12 commonly used verbs with their own finite forms, including the verbs eduki "to have", egon "to be located", and izan "to be" (used as an auxilliary). However, the Basque verbal paradigm is still formidable, with two [[tenses]] past vs non-past, three [[aspects]] marked on the participles, various [[moods]] including [[indicative]], [[subjunctive]] and [[hypothetical]] and extensive person agreement with the [[Ergative]], [[Absolutive]] and [[Dative]] arguments if present. The verb may also agree with the gender of the [[2nd person]], if the Ergative or Dative "slot" is free. Some examples:<br><br> The preference for the use of non-finite forms whenever possibly is strong, with chains of participles without auxilliaries common in normal "flowing" speech. For example:<br><br> [[Category:Isolate natlangs]] [[Category:Real Language background pages]] [[Category:Linguistics]] Palatal approximant 789 44927 2009-04-26T05:49:27Z Blackkdark 1214 /* Anglo-Saxon */ This is the Palatal Glide/Approximant.

Thus, '''gear''' is /jæar/. It was even used in the formation of diphthongs, so thus '''dæg''' is often pronounced like the modern Australian form /daj/. A common grammatical prefix was '''ge-''' /yə-/, used to indicate the past tense. ====[[Middle English]]==== The symbol '''Ȝ''' was still used well into the Middle English era, and '''Y''', '''y''' was beginning to be pronounced /i/ or /ɪ/. It was also used along with '''I''', '''i''' to form some diphthongs. The prefix in Anglo-Saxon merged into '''y-''' but was pronounced /i-/ or /ji-/ depending on dialect. ====[[Modern English]]==== In all forms of Modern English, '''Y''', '''y''' is used as the glide and occasionally as the diphthong. Thus '''year''' /yiɹ/ as a glide, and '''day''' /dej/ as the diphthong. ===[[High German]]=== In High German, the symbol used for this symbol is '''J''', '''j'''. The word '''Jäger''' is pronounced /yegər/. For diphthongs different symbols are used.

The symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents [[dental consonant|dental]], [[alveolar consonant|alveolar]], and [[postalveolar consonant|postalveolar]] [[nasal]]s is {{IPA|n}}, and the equivalent [[X-SAMPA]] symbol is <tt>n</tt>. == Features == Features of the alveolar nasal: * Its [[manner of articulation]] is [[stop]] , which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. * Its [[place of articulation]] is [[alveolar consonant|alveolar]], which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the [[alveolar ridge]], termed respectively ''[[apical consonant|apical]]'' and ''[[laminal consonant|laminal]]''. * Its [[phonation]] type is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation. * It is a [[nasal consonant]], which means air is allowed to escape through the nose. * It is a [[central consonant]], which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides. * The [[airstream mechanism]] is [[pulmonic egressive]], which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the [[glottis]] or the mouth. == In natural languages == ===English=== The alveolar nasal occurs in [[English (language)|English]], and it is the sound denoted by the letter 'n' in ''nine'' or ''plan''. Some dialects of English, including most [[American English]] dialects, also have syllabic /n/, as in ''lemon''. Note that the letter 'n' does not always denote the sound /n/. The digraph 'ng' is usually pronounced either [&#331;] ([[velar nasal]]), as in ''hang'', or [&#331;g], as in ''finger''. In most words where 'n' is followed by a 'k', it is also velarised to [&#331;k], as in ''stink''. ===Spanish=== {| | ''plain'' || n || nube /ˈnube/ "cloud" |} ===Esperanto=== {| | ''plain'' || n || nulo /ˈnulo/ "zero" |} ==See also== *[[Velar nasal|Velar nasal – ŋ]] [[Category:Phonetic segments|n]] Qanao language/Messy 805 4183 2005-04-14T12:12:04Z Zhen Lin 6 [[Image:Qanaozjinaet.1000x253.png|thumb|right|Qana'öžjinaet written in its native script]] The '''Qanao language''' (Qanao: classical: ''qana'öžjinaet'' [qanaʔo.ʒ̞jɪnaət]) is an in-progress conlang. =Writing system= : ''See [[Qanao abugida]].'' =Phonology= ==Mora== The following syllable types are one-mora: * V * VC * CV * CVC The following syllable types are two-mora: * CE * CEC * CVV * CVVC The following syllable types are three-mora: * CEV * CEVC * CVE * CVEC ==Consonants== {| style="text-align: center; margin: auto; padding: 0.5em; border: 1px solid #88a; background: #f7f8ff;" border="0" cellspacing="1" |- style="display: collapse;" | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | |- |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | p || t || ť || k || q || ` |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | p || t || c || k || q || ʔ |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | b || d || ď || g || || |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | mb || nd || ɲɟ || ŋg || || |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | m || n || ň || ŋ || γ || |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | m || n || ɲ || ŋ || ɴ || |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | φ || c || č || || || |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | pɸ || ʦ || ʧ || || || |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | f || s || š || || || h |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | ɸʰ || sʰ || ʃʰ || || || h |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | v || z || ž || || || |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | β̞ || z̞ || ʒ̞ || || || |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | w || r || ř || y || || |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | w || ɹ̥ || ɹ̥ʲ || ʔj || || |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | || l || ľ || || || |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | || l̥ || ʎ̥ || || || |} ==Vowels== {| style="text-align: center; margin: auto; padding: 0.5em; border: 1px solid #88a; background: #f7f8ff;" border="0" cellspacing="1" |- style="display: collapse;" | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | | style="width: 1.8em;" | |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | i || í || ji || jí || e || u || ú || wu || wú |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | i || i: || ʲjɪ || ʲji: || ə || u || u: || ʷʊ || ʷu: |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | a || á || ja || já || ö || o || ó || wo || wó |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | a || a: || ʲja || ʲja: || o || ɔ || ɔ: || ʷɔ || ʷɔ: |} * Final ''o'' is realised as [o]. ==Diphthongs== There are two types of diphthongs in Qanao: short and long. A long diphthong is denoted by a grave accent over either the first or second vowel, i.e. '''aì''' or '''ìö'''. A short diphthong has a moraic length of the first vowel; a long diphthong has a moraic length of the preceding vowel plus one. ==Phonological processes== * '''Chain palatalisation''': A palatalised consonant causes palatalisation of all consecutive preceding and successive consonants. * '''Chain voicing''': /ɸ/ and /s/ become voiced when preceded or followed by voiced consonants. * '''Deaspiration''': /ɸ/ and /s/ are not aspirated when followed by consonants. * '''Metatheses''': ** '''Diphthong splitting''': a VC mora preceded by a vowel and followed by a consonant becomes CV - i.e. ''ziùl'' + ''ku'a'' &rarr; ''ziluku'a''. * '''Cluster simplification''': ** '''Prenasals''': (Note that the nasal component remains voiced) *** /mb.mb/ becomes [m.mb]; /nd.nd/ becomes [n.nd]; etc. *** /mb.nd/ becomes [mb.d]; /nd.mb/ becomes [nd.b]; etc. ** '''Affricates''': *** /pɸ.pɸ/ becomes [p.pɸ]; /ts.ts/ becomes [t.ts]; etc. *** /pɸ.ɸ/ becomes [p.pɸ]; /ts.s/ becomes [t.ts]; etc. * '''Consonant gemination''': /ʔ/ assimilates to the previous consonant: ''am'' + '' 'ura'' &rarr; ''ammura''. However, take note of cluster simplification. ==Accent== Qanao has pitch accent, which is derived from a simplification of a natural pitch system. Most simple words do not undergo simplification, since it is rare to have more than two pitch changes in a two or three-syllabled word. There are four possible pitch and tone contours: high-level, high-falling, low-rising, and low-level. They will henceforth be referred to as high, falling, rising, and level tone respectively. * A rising tone on the first mora is equivalent to a high tone for most transformations. * A rising tone on the last mora is equivalent to a low tone for most transformations. * A falling tone on the first mora is equivalent to a low tone for most transformations. * A falling tone on the last mora is equivalent to a high tone for most transformations. To begin with, tone is assigned to each mora as follows: * If it begins with an unvoiced consonant, it has a high tone. ** If it begins with an aspirated consonant, it has a falling tone. ** If it ends with a voiced or glottal consonant, it has a falling tone. * If it begins with a voiced consonant or a glottal stop, it a has low tone. ** If it ends with an unvoiced, non-glottal consonant, it has a rising tone. * If it does not begin with a consonant, it has an undetermined tone. ** If it ends with an unvoiced consonant, it has a high tone. ** If it ends with a voiced consonant or a glottal stop, it has a low tone. Then, within each group: * An undetermined tone becomes the tone of the following mora. * An undetermined tone on the last mora: ** Becomes a falling tone if there are no pitch falls in the group. ** Becomes the tone of the preceding tone otherwise. * Rising and falling tones are restricted to the first and last mora only. ** A rising tone preceded by a high tone becomes a high tone. ** A falling tone preceded by a low tone becomes a low tone. ** A rising tone followed by a high tone becomes a low tone. ** A falling tone followed by a low tone becomes a high tone. ** A rising tone followed by a falling tone becomes a high tone. ** A falling tone followed by a rising tone becomes a low tone. ** A non-level tone preceded and followed by a high tone becomes a high tone. ** A non-level tone preceded and followed by a low tone becomes a low tone. ** A rising tone followed by a rising tone becomes a low tone. ** A falling tone followed by a falling tone becomes a high tone. * There must be at most one pitch fall within each polysyllabic group. ** If the whole group has a high tone, the last mora becomes a falling tone. ** If the whole group has a low tone, the first mora becomes a falling tone. *** If the last mora has a rising tone, it becomes a low tone. ** If there are more, the last pitch fall is preserved, and all others are levelled. * There must be at most one pitch rise within each polysyllabic group. ** If there are more, the second pitch rise is preserved, and all others are levelled. Then, within each word: * Non-core, word-medial monosyllabic groups in polysyllabic words have their tones deleted. * The first two prefixed groups and all non-final suffixed groups are levelled: ** If the first mora has a falling tone, all following morae have a low tone. ** If the first mora has a rising tone, all following morae have a high tone. ** If the last mora has a falling tone, all preceding morae have a high tone. ** If the last mora has a rising tone, all preceding morae have a low tone. ** Otherwise, the group is levelled to the tone of the first mora, with the last mora becoming a contour tone if it differs from the first mora. * An undetermined tone becomes the tone of the following mora. * An undetermined tone on the last mora becomes a falling tone. * Rising and falling tones are restricted to the first and last mora only. ** A group-initial non-level tone becomes a low tone. ** Otherwise, the same transformation as group-medial non-level tones is applied. * A non-level tone on the last mora is simplified: ** A rising tone preceded by a low tone becomes a high tone. ** A falling tone preceded by a high tone becomes a low tone.

There is some amount of vowel gradation within roots, but it is fairly limited. There are also a series of monoconsonantal roots which form prefixes that further modify the meaning of the word. Some are still productive, and a few require agreement with numerals. ===Vowel gradation=== Although changing vowel grades is generally not productive, it is possible to imagine that it once was, giving rise to such sets of words as '''zal''' (water), '''žjil''' (blood), '''zál''' (lake), '''zil''' (clear), '''zul''' (to liquify), '''zúl''' (to melt). * '''a-grade''' (n1) general: ''qana' '' "Qana"; ''patuk'' "tree"; ''zal'' "water" * '''ja-grade''' (n2) living things: ''qjana' '' "Qjana" * '''á-grade''' (n3) permanent things: ''ázal'' "ocean"; ''ápatuk'' "forest" * '''ji-grade''' (n4) transcendecent: ''žjinat'' "language"; ''yìöàn'' "universe"; ''kjim'' "world" * '''i-grade''' (q) qualities: '' 'ìökiem'' "universal" * '''u-grade''' (va) active actions: ''mumút'' "to cause to die"; ''muzil'' "to make clear, to declare" * '''ú-grade''' (vp) passive actions: ''mút'' "to die"; ''fúzal'' "to rain" ===Monoconsonantal roots=== * ''' ' ''' ** ''' ya-''' important person ** ''' 'á-''' large place ** ''' yi-''' divine ** ''' 'ó-''' super-honorific * ''' '-ö-''' all (vowel gradable) * '''b''' ** '''bó-''' humble * '''c''' primary [[#Demonstratives|demonstrative]] * '''d''' interrogative [[#Demonstratives|demonstrative]] * '''f''' "to fall from the sky" (vowel gradable) * '''φ''' plural (with numerals, indicates plurality of groups) ** '''φ-''' "many; together" (vowel gradable) ** '''φo-''' plural actor ** '''-φ''' plural patient ** '''-φan''' "several together" ** '''-φur''' "several times at once" (vowel gradable) * '''g''' * '''h''' * '''k''' ** '''kó''' honorific * '''l''' * '''m''' ** '''mu''' causative ** '''mú''' passive-causative * '''n''' "to exist" (triform conjugation verb) * '''ŋ''' * '''γ''' indefinite [[#Demonstratives|demonstrative]] * '''p''' * '''q''' distal [[#Demonstratives|demonstrative]]; "Qanao" ** '''qó''' respective * '''r''' verbaliser * '''s''' * '''t''' proximal [[#Demonstratives|demonstrative]] * '''v''' medial [[#Demonstratives|demonstrative]] * '''z''' ==Conjugation== {| style="text-align: center; margin: auto; border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse; background: #f7f8ff;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" |- style="background: #ccf;" ! colspan="3" | &nbsp; ! n. ! vb. ! adj. |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | * ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Consonantal root | z.l | múf:r | 'ìök.m |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 0 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Infix stem | za.l | múfú.r | 'ìöki.m |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 1 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Stem | zal- | múfúr- | 'ìökim- |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 2 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Sentence-medial | &ndash; | múfúr | 'ìökim |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 3 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Sentence-terminal | colspan="3" | &ndash; |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 4 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" | Infinitive | style="background: #ccf;" | n. | &ndash; | múfúà.r- | 'ìökià.m- |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 5 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" | Approximative adjective | style="background: #ccf;" | q. | ázai.l- | múfúi.r- | rowspan="2" | &ndash; |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 5-6 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Approximative adverb | ázaùl | múfúòr |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 6 ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Adverb | &ndash; | múfór | 'ìökium |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 7a ! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right;" colspan="2" | Compounding (with noun) | rowspan="2" | ázalö- | rowspan="2" | múfúrö- | 'ìökimi- |- ! style="background: #ccf;" | 7b ! style="background: #ccf; textalign: right;" colspan="2" | Compounding (with non-noun) | iokimö- |} The medial form is the citation form for most words. ==Particles== * '''pr.''' - predicate, any of: ** '''p.t.''' - terminal predicate (not always - there are some auxilliaries that attach to these) ** '''p.s.''' - stem predicate * '''<sup>n</sup>''' - suffix attaches to base specified in superscript instead of in the '''base''' column. * '''<sub>a</sub>''' - vowel specified in subscript appears only to break illegal consonant clusters. {| style="text-align: center; margin: auto; border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse; background: #f7f8ff;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" |- style="background: #ccf;" ! &nbsp; !

There is also a very limited form of agreement between cases and nouns - when possible, people take the oblique case instead of the accusative and lative cases; and the nominative case instead of the ablative case. Paradoxically, the lative and ablative cases are also used for people as a sign of profound respect. The choice of which case to use can slightly alter the meaning of a sentence, for instance, compare: * röqukjil múzil. "It was made clear to Roquk." * röqukiam múzil. "It was made clear for Roquk." In this case, the passive case has an oblique function, and the lative case has a benefactive function. Note, the benefactive function can be positive or negative: * röqukiam qópjiniril múzili. "Roquk benefited from his rights being made clear." * röqukiam qópjiniril núsi. "Roquk suffered from his rights being taken away." ==Demonstratives== {| style="text-align: center; margin: auto; border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse; background: #f7f8ff;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" |- style="background: #ccf;" ! ! 1st ! 2nd ! 3rd ! 4th !

The agent-marked and patient-marked verbs are suppletive forms of the verb '' 'ur'' and '' 'úr'' respectively. It is from these that the agent-marking and patient-marking suffixes are derived. The locative verb is used instead of suffixing the locative particle to the locative pronoun. The overt pronouns are used where it would be awkward to use affixes, or for emphasis. It is conjectured that the nominalising ''-an'' and verbalising ''-un'' suffixed to the pronouns are related to the irregular verb ''in'', to exist, or perhaps the absolutive participant particle, ''-an''. Others say that the demonstrative ''n'', nominalising suffix ''-an'', verbalising ''-un'', absolutive participant particle ''-an'', locative particle ''-<sub>ai</sub>n'' are all derived from a single root, '''''n'''''. =Miscellaneous= {| | I want to become the person I would have become had I been born in (location). |- | C: 'ádinnor acmúfúríb múricím muaril achusa. |- | E: 'áninain múfûríbar čel múricíjam mwaril husa. |} * 'ádinnor "Adin" (n-'''loc'''-'''adv''') ** 'á "place" (n.pre) ** din "peaceful" (q) * acmúfúríbičjil "to become" ('''1.pre'''-vb-'''ind'''-'''cf'''-'''subj'''-7a-'''1'''-'''pass''') ** mú "to become" (vb.pre) ** fúr "to live" (vb) * múrcím "to become (passive)" (vb-'''perf'''-'''ind'''-'''cf'''-'''lat''') * muaril "to become (active)" (vb-'''inf'''-'''acc''') * achusa "to want" ('''1.pre'''-vb-'''ind'''-'''pres''') {| | Universal Declaration of Human Rights |- | C: ňja'imanvöpjinirul'ìökjimimuziael (ňjai'imanav pjiniril 'ìökim muziael) |- | E: ňä'imanvöpenirosöyökemimuzjajl (ňä'imanav peniros yökim muzjajl) |} * ňja'i "person" (n-5-7a) * manvö "living thing" (n-'''corp'''-7a) * pjinirul "right" (n-'''acc'''-7b) ** pji "always" (n.pre) ** nir "permitted" (q) * 'ìökjimi "universal" (q-7a) ** 'ìö "all" (q.pre) ** kjim "world" (n) * muziael "declaration; clarification" (vb-4-'''voc''') ** mu "to cause to become" (vb.pre) + ** zil "to be clear" (q) All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

The character "inverted i" (in Unicode, U+1D09) has not been used here due to lack of font support, and has been replaced by the small capital ɪ.'' :This page is also available [[Media:Grammar of Saxon English.pdf|as a PDF]] (147 KB). ---- ==GRAMMAR OF SAXON ENGLISH.== ===PHONETIC SPELLING WITH OLD LETTERS.=== ''Ai'' always sounds as in the word aim (Ger. e); ''q,'' ah, arm; ''a,'' an (Ger. ä); ''o,'' on, or (Ger. soll); ''ö'' (or ''oe)'' earn, word; ''oi,'' oil; ''ei,'' eye; ''au,'' house; ''ɯ,'' rule; ''ɔ,'' oh, old; ''ü'' (or ''ue),'' as in German, ''für;'' French, ''dur;'' Greek and Scandinavian, ''y'' as in ''syd;'' ''ɪ,'' eel; ''u,'' full or but; ''i,'' it; ''e,'' met; ''z,'' hard ''tsee'' (as in [[High German|German]], in order to have a clearer, oral distinction between ''z'' and ''s); y,'' yard; ''sh'', she; ''ch,'' church; ''th,'' the, thin; ''w,'' we; ''ks,'' x; ''kw,'' qu; ''k,'' ch (Christ, Kreist). ''E'' before ''r'' has the sound of ''a'' (an); final ''o'' and ''u'' are long. ''Oe'' is equal to ''ö,'' and ''ue'' equal to ''ü.'' This substitution is also allowed in the German language. Capitals for the inverted ''c, i,'' and ''m,'' are O·ɔ, I·ɪ, U·ɯ; A·q. We can not invert capitals on account of not lining, and the capital Q looks odd for ''q.'' We therefore indicate the proper sound of the capital letters by means of an inverted period. Inverted ''c, i, m,'' for ''oh, ee, oo'' are advocated, and partly used already in America, England, and France. It is the only way I can see, by which to get along with old letters only, and they are as good as new letters would be to the reader. The type-setter must invert them, but they might easily be made in the future, so as to need no turning. The letter ''ɔ'' is written as the figure ''2'' is written; ''ɪ'' is simply inverted ''i;'' it is as easy to dot under as over the line, and the distinction becomes all the more conspicuous. Inverted ''m,'' or ''ɯ,'' is written as ''u'' and ''i'' without the dot. The corresponding capitals of ''ɔ, ɪ, ɯ,'' and ''q,'' have always an inverted period on their right side, thus: ''O·K, ɔk'' (oak); ''I·L, ɪl'' (eel); ''U·z, ɯz'' (ooze); ''A·MS, qms'' (alms). In remodeling the language, it is sometimes better to modify the pronunciation than the spelling, in order to preserve the old appearance of the word, and to make it more international, as ''kom'' (not ''kum);'' German, ''kommen;'' Dutch ''kommen;'' Scandinavian, ''komme; kql'' (not ''kol)'' as ''a'' or ''q'' is used for the same word by our cousins. That form which is most internationally Gothic, is best. It is as easy to say ''kom'' as ''kum; bql'' as ''bol,'' etc. With phonetic spelling, we can tell near enough for practical purposes how to pronounce. No spelling can become fully phonetic without having about two hundred letters, according to Ellis, but we can use consistently those letters we have. In the beginning, we can continue the old pronunciation of Saxon words. ===GRAMMAR.=== RULE 1. To form the ''plural number,'' and to increase vowel euphony, add ''a'' (an, at; Ger. ''ä),'' after words ending on consonants; and add ''s'' after words ending on vowels, as, one ''hand,'' two ''handa;'' one ''boi,'' two ''bois'' (boys); two ''hausa.'' ''A'' is a very fine and extensive plural sound, and was much employed by our forefathers. [[Anglo-Saxon]], ''an hand, twa handa;'' [[High German|German]] ''zwei hände'' (handai); Old Frisic, ''hond,'' plural ''honda;'' twɔ ''hausa;'' Scandinavian, ''to huse;'' Latin, ''regnum,'' plural ''regna;'' Greek ''petron'' (wing), plural ''petra;'' Slavonic ''grad'' (castle), plural ''grada,'' or ''gradje;'' Irish, ''seamrog'' (shamrock), plural ''seamroga.'' The final ''a'' has the same sound as in ''Florida, America, Mathilda,'' etc. RULE 2. To form the ''possessive case,'' add ''o'' (oh) after consonants, and ''no'' after vowels, as ''girlo hat'' (girl’s hat), and ''boino buk'' (boy’s book). The possessive form may precede or follow, as, ''hat girlo.'' This ''o'' is a contraction of our possessive word ''own'' (ɔn, ɔnership). When words end on a vowel, a euphonistic ''n'' is inserted to prevent hiatus, and to blend consonants and vowels for ease of pronunciation. It looks like an abbreviated plural Greek possessive ''logon'' (of words). ''Girlo'' (girl’s, girl own); ''Godo haus'' (God’s house). The preposition ''of'' is also used as before; but ''o'' and ''no'' are used for the short possessive; plural possessive, ''handano'' (of the hands), ''laidiso,'' etc. It will be as easy to form the possessive of the plural as of the singular, by adding ''o'' after ''s,'' or ''no'' after ''a;'' ''hausano.'' As final ''o'' has the sound of ''oh,'' we write ''o'' instead of ''ɔ.'' RULE 3. To form the ''past tense,'' add ''o'' after consonants, and ''do'' (doh), after vowels, as, ''Ei lovo'' (I loved), ''Ei gɔdo, ei sɪdo'' (I went, I saw). The fact that the possessive and past tense signs are alike is no objection, because a noun and a verb stand in such obviously different relations that no mistake can follow. It is different with the plural and possessive sign ''s,'' both being added to the same part of speech. ''O'' is chosen because it is historical, being used as a past tense sign by the Anglo-Saxons with ''n,'' and by our Gothic cousins, the Swedes, without ''n.'' It is the most proper and musical vowel we can find for this purpose. The Anglo-Saxons formed the plural past tense with ''on,'' as ''waron, sindon'' (were). In Swedish, the ''n'' is worn off, while ''o'' remains, as, ''vi spunno, vi kommo, vi funno'' (we spun, we came, and we found). In Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, the past participle takes ''o; united'' and ''loved'' is ''unito,'' or ''unido,'' and ''amato,'' or ''amado.'' ''O·'' is a well tried past tense form. RULE 4. To form the present participle, add ''qnd;'' and to form the past participle, add ''en,'' as, ''Ei'' am ''skreibqnd,'' the ''runqnd hors.'' In the beginning we can use ''qnd'' only with the new words; but hɪ has ''loven, worken,'' etc. The reason for having ''qnd'' for the present participle, when it is used as an adjective, instead of ''ing,'' is to prevent the extremely frequent repetition of the ringing sound of ''ing,'' which is still employed with verbal nouns. The [[Anglo-Saxon]] ''and,'' or ''end,'' for the present participle, and ''ung,'' or ''ing,'' for verbal nouns. [[Anglo-Saxon]], ''and;'' German and Dutch, ''end;'' Swedish, ''ande;'' Danish and Norwegian, ''ende;'' Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, ''endo,'' or ''ando;'' French, ''ent,'' or ''ant.'' The suffix ''en'' is a sign for the past participle in [[Anglo-Saxon]], and with all the Gothic people. Being an easy flowing, liquid sound, it is made the only past participle form. Chaucer, the morning star of English literature, employed ''and;'' but finally ''and'' and ''ing'' were confounded, as ''ed'' and ''en'' have been. RULE 5. To form the ''verbal noun,'' add ''ing,'' or ''ung,'' as, ''hɪring'' and ''erzɪung;'' and to form the ''infinitive noun,'' add ''qn,'' as, ''rɪdqn'' and ''skreibqn'' (Ger., ''lesen'' und ''schreiben;'' Scan. ''lesen'' og ''skriven).'' The infinitive noun will not be used much at first, but it will be convenient to be able to vary the expression at times. The ''qn'' is the [[Anglo-Saxon]] infinitive ending, and the same method is used by the rest of our Gothic family. RULE 6. To form the ''masculine noun,'' add ''ɪ;'' and to form the ''feminine noun'' add ''in,'' and ''neuter it,'' as, ''frendɪ, frendin,'' and ''frendit.'' ''Ine'' is used in English—''hero, heroine;'' German and Dutch, ''in;'' Danish and Norwegian, ''inde;'' Swedish, ''ina.'' The suffix ''ɪ'' is a contraction from ''he,'' or ''hɪ,'' as the possessive sign ''o'' is a contraction from ''ɔn'' (own), and ''u'' from ''do'' (du). RULE 7. To verbalize a word, and to give it emphasis or make it more specific, add ''u'' from ''du'' (do); German, ''thu-en,'' as ''fy'' is from ''facio,'' in place of ''en, fy, ize, ate,'' etc., as, ''hqrdu'' (harden); ''raru,'' or ''rariku'' (rarify); ''erinu'' (memorize). ''U'' is a contraction from ''du,'' and is very appropriate for this purpose, beside being a very easy sound to pronounce. ''U'' is called by some orthoepists the natural vowel. ''U'' is employed much in several languages as a final vowel, but especially in Latin, Italian, and Japanese. It is used much in the vocabulary to distinguish a verb from an adjective or other part of speech. In those words where ''u'' is a verbal sign, the verb and the noun remain alike, as, ''klasu,'' or ''klasiku'' (to classify), and ''klasu,'' or ''klasiku'' (classification). RULE 8. The ''definite article'' is before singular nouns ''the,'' as, ''the'' hand, ''the'' haus; but before plural nouns it is ''dɔ handa, dɔ hausa.'' ''Dɔ'' has been modified from the German ''die;'' Scandinavian ''de,'' and [[Anglo-Saxon]] ''dhe,'' or ''seo,'' so as to give us the best variety and clearest distinction from the singular, and from the plural sign ''a.'' ''Dɔ'' is different in consonant and vowel from the singular ''the,'' and the plural ending ''a.'' Both the Germanic and Romance languages have a plural form for the definite article. French ''le'' (the) has plural ''les'' (dɔ); German, ''der,'' plural ''die;'' Scandinavian, singular ''den,'' or ''det,'' plural ''de.'' We have adopted a plural form in order not to be obliged to repeat ''the'' so extremely often; besides we need very much a plural form of the article to show whether the singular or plural is meant in hundreds of sentences. Not to have a plural form for the article is a great defect. We might use the article ''das'' before abstract nouns as ''das gudi,'' etc. RULE 9. When the ''adjective'' is used as a noun, it takes the plural sign, as, ''dɔ guda'' (the good ones). This form will make the expressions clearer as to number. This method prevails in all the Gothic tongues. To have no plural form for the definite article, and no plural sign for the substantive adjective, appears to me to be very indefinite. It is poor practice. RULE 10. To form the ''infinitive,'' add ''q'' to the indicative of those words that end on a consonant; as, to ''komq,'' to ''singq,'' to ''go,'' etc. Words ending on vowels receive no addition. This infinitive suffix ''q'' is a contraction of the [[Anglo-Saxon]] infinitive ending ''an,'' pronounced ''qn.'' Both the Gothic and Romanic people have a special infinitive form. The French add ''er'' or ''ir, aimer'' (to lovq), ''finir'' (to finishq). The Italians ''ere, ire,'' or ''are;'' as ''offendere'' (offendayray), ''punire,'' ''perdonare'' (perdohnahray). Germans and Hollanders add ''en;'' the Anglo-Saxon ''an;'' the Danish and Norwegian ''e,'' and the Swedes ''a;'' as, att ''komma,'' att ''falla,'' att ''vandra'' (to ''komq,'' to ''fqlq,'' to ''wqnderq).'' This form will not only add many per cent. to the musicalness of our language, but make the imperative and indicative forms more easily distinguished. We now say to ''come'' (infinitive), ''come'' (imperative), and I ''come'' (indicative); ''come, come, come.'' Only one form for all three ideas. If we had a separate infinitive and imperative form, then would the indicative be clear to the eye and ear. It can not be of more trouble to us to have an infinitive and imperative form than it is to other nations, and we need the form for clearness and euphony. Even with the several vowels introduced, we will not have as many as the Italians or the Swedes. Our English grammar is too simple and indefinite. The infinitive form need not be used in the beginning. The foregoing ten rules are the basis of Systematic English, which may or may not include phonetic spelling, but will include no new words. Systematic English only systematizes the grammar without touching the vocabulary any further than to systematize the inflections. ===ADDITIONAL RULES OF SAXON ENGLISH.=== RULE 11. The ''cardinal numbers'' are formed from the ten first units, and the higher numbers add ''tɪn'' (teen), ''ti'' (ty), ''hundred, thausand, heiyond'' (million, that is, high yonder), ''ɔveryond'' (billion), ''augyond'' (trillion, ''aug,'' eye, df. I): 1, ''an'' (one); 2, ''twɔ'' (pronounce ''w);'' 3, ''thrɪ;'' 4, ''fɔr;'' 5, ''feiv;'' 6, ''siks;'' 7, ''seven;'' 8, ''ait;'' 9, ''nein;'' 10, ''ten;'' 11, ''antɪn'' (an and ten, or tɪn); 12, ''twɔtɪn;'' 13, ''thrɪtɪn;'' 14, ''fɔrtɪn, feivtɪn, sikstɪn, seventɪn, aittɪn, neintɪn, twɔtɪ'' (twenty), ''twɔti-an'' (twenty-one), etc., ''thrɪti'' (thirty), ''fɔrti, feivti, siksti, seventi, aitti, neinti, hundred, thausand, heiyond'' (million), ''ɔveryond'' (billion), and ''augyond'' (trillion). Only seventeen words need to be memorized by the world, and those short, easy, and well known ones. RULE 12. The ordinal numbers are formed by adding ''tq'' to the cardinal; Anglo-Saxon ''ta'' (pronounced ''tq);'' German and Dutch, ''te'' (pronounced ''tai);'' Danish and Norwegian, ''te;'' Swedish, ''ta'' (pronounced ''tq):'' feivtq, sikstq (5th, 6th); Anglo-Saxon, ''fif'' (five), ''fifta'' (fifth), ''sixta'' (sixth); German, ''fünfte, fünf'' (five); Danish and Norwegian, ''femte, fem'' (five); Swedish ''femta;'' Greek, ''pentos;'' Latin, ''quinta'' (pronounced ''quintq).'' We add ''tq'' rather than ''ta,'' because the latter ending is like our frequent plural sign ending ''a.'' This makes a fine historical suffix for ordinal numbers. The numeral ''first'' is a general Gothic number, and hence preserved, but the regular forms are ''antq'' (first), ''twɔtq'' (second, pronounce ''w), thrɪtq'' (third), ''fɔrtq, feivtq, sikstq, seventq, aittq, neintq, tentq, antɪntq'' (eleventh), ''twɔtɪntq'' (twelfth), ''thrɪtɪntq, fɔrtɪntq, twɔtitq'' (twentieth), ''twɔti-antq'' (twenty-first), ''hundredtq'' (hundredth), ''thausandtq'' (thousandth), ''heiyondtq'' (millionth), etc. The reiteratives are formed by simply adding ''teim: anteim'' (once), ''twɔteim'' (twice), ''thrɪteim, fɔrteim,'' etc. The multiplicatives are formed by adding ''fɔld: anfɔld'' (simple), ''twɔfɔld'' (duplex), ''thrɪfɔld, fɔrfɔld,'' etc. We also say ''annes'' (onenes), ''twɔnes'' (twones), etc.; also ''anhud'' (unity), ''twɔhud'' (duality), ''thrɪanikeit'' (trinity), ''thrɪanikeitlɔr'' (doctrine of the trinity), ''tenmanarɯl'' (decemvirate). Inflections and compounds of known material are clearer, easier, and more comfortable than strange borrowing. To denote fractional parts, ''el'' is added, an abbreviation from ''teil'' (part), ''fɔrel, feivel'' (fourth or fifth part); two-fifths is ''twɔ-feivtqs;'' nine-tenths is ''nein-tentqs,'' etc. RULE 13. Names of ''days'' and ''months'' are formed by simply taking the ordinal numbers and adding the first letter for ''day'' or ''month, d'' stading for ''day,'' and ''m'' standing for ''month;'' thus, ''antq'' is first, and by adding ''d,'' an abbreviation for ''day,'' we have ''Antqd'' (Sunday), ''Twɔtqd'' (Monday); and by adding ''m'' we have ''Antqm'' (January), ''Twɔtqm'' (February). All must learn the ''numbers'' anyhow, and then by the slight addition of d and m they would know the names of the days of the week and the months; as, ''Antqd'' (Sunday), ''Twɔtqd'' (Monday), ''Thrɪtqd'' (Tuesday), ''Fɔrtqd'' (Wednesday), ''Feivtqd,'' ''Sikstqd'' and ''Seventqd. Months: Antqm'' (January), ''Twɔtqm'' (February), ''Thrɪtqm'' (March), ''Tentqm'' (October), ''Antɪntqm'' (November), ''Twɔtɪntqm'' (December). Here is a chance to show our good-will towards the whole world by making these names easy to learn, and at the same time use our own Saxon material. The old names might be retained if desired, but they are longr and harder to learn and pronounce, and they are unnecessarily arbitrary. RULE 14. The ''personal pronouns'' remain as at present, with a very slight extension, as they are nearly alike in all the Gothic tongues, and are short and convenient, and all purely Gothic. There is a defect in the feminine pronoun on account of ''her'' being both possessive and objective without any distinction in form. This is too simple and indefinite to the eye and ear, hence ''her'' objective has been changed to ''shim'' from ''she,'' to compare with ''him'' from ''he.'' I saw ''him'' and ''shim'' (him and her). Her is preserved for the possessive. The personal pronouns are not very systematic, but they are short and well known, and they are so frequently spoken that they do not need to be systematic to be retained in the mind; besides, it is a great comfort to have as much familiar material upon which to rest the mind as possible. Hence personal pronouns, auxiliary verbs, and adjectives remain as now, and they are nearly alike in all the Gothic languages. The only change consists in phonetic spelling, and even that might be omitted with the personal pronouns. Several grammarians have expressed a desire for a pronoun in the third person, applicable to both the masculine and feminine gender. We have adopted ''ɪr, ɪro, ɪm'' for that purpose. ''I·r'' is an old form of ''er'' (he); ''ɪro'' is ''ɪr'' with the possessive sign ''o, ɪro'' (his or her); ''m'' being a general objective and dative sign, we have ''ɪm'' (Ger. ihm) for the objective. By adopting ''ɪr, ɪro,'' and ''ɪm'' as a personal pronoun for the third person common gender, we give extra clearness to such words as ''hɪlɪr'' (he or she who heals); ''tɪchɪm'' (pupil), he or she who is being taught. ''I·r'' as a suffix is used especially where we desire to indicate a higher class of actors, professional actors. ''I·m'' is used to denote the recipient of an act; as, ''paiɪm'' (payee); ''selɪm'' (vendee). The personal pronouns run thus: {| align="center" | 1st Person. || 2d Person. || Masculine. || Feminine. || Neuter. || Com. Gender. |- | ei || thau || hɪ || shɪ || it || ɪr |- | mei || thei || his || her || its || ɪro |- | mɪ || thɪ || him || shim || itm (it) || ɪm |- | wɪ || yu || thai || thai || thai || (ɪra) |- | aur || yur || thair || thair || thair || (ɪrano) |- | us || yum (yu) || them || them || them || (ɪma) |} Adding ''o'' or ''no'' is the same as adding ''of,'' in case we desire to lessen the number of the little weakening words; as, ''fulo'' (full of); ''manino'' (many of). The inflected noun may stand first or last, as in German; the ''haus Godo'' (Ger., “Das Haus Gottes”); ''theno'' (of the); ''dɔno'' (of the, plural); objective form, ''thim'' and ''dɔm'' (to the). The pronouns are defective in all the Gothic tongues in the third person plural. The masculine, feminine, and neuter are alike, and yet it would be both easy and convenient to have distinctions. The Russians have very complete pronouns. They can even show whether the speaker or the one spoken to is male or female. I think it would frequently add clearness to stories if there were different plural forms for the masculine, feminine, and neuter. As the plural is now formed by adding ''a'' after consonants, and ''s'' after vowels, we might easily develop a separate masculine plural by adding ''s'' to ''hɪ: hɪs'' (they, masculine), and ''shɪs'' (they, feminine), ''ita'' (they, neuter). The possessive forms would be respectively, ''hɪso, shɪso,'' and ''itano;'' and the objective, ''hem, shem, tem'' (arbitrary for brevity). Although plural forms would often be convenient, I have not made it a part of the system, believing that this is one of the points that can be inserted afterwards, if the American and English people desire more distinctions than they now have. The rest of the Gothic people have no more distinctions in this respect than we have. ''Em'' is an extra objective suffix placed after an object when we wish it to appear first or come between the subject and predicate; as, ''James Johnem struck.'' In an ordinary sentence, we can see from the position; by this means we can have as much freedom of position as was enjoyed by the classical languages. ''Sich'' is a reflexive pronoun used by the Gothic tongues, and is equivalent to ''him-, her-,'' or ''itself;'' as, he or she hurt him or herself; ''hɪ hurt sich, shɪ hurt sich;'' French and Latin, ''se.'' ''Mqn'' is an indefinite pronoun, very convenient. French, ''on;'' Anglo-Saxon, German, Dutch, and Scandinavian, ''man; “mqn sai.”'' French, ''on dit;'' German, ''man sagt;'' Scandinavian, ''man siger,'' or ''man säger.'' RULE 15. The ''auxiliary adjectives and verbs'' remain irregular as now, as they are more convenient as they are, being short, well known, and nearly alike in all Gothic languages. ====IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES.==== {| width="100%" valign="top" |width="50%"| 1. gud, beter, best.<br> 2. bad, wors, worst.<br> 3. litel, les, lɪst. |width="50%"| 4. mani, mer, mest.<br> 5. much, mɔr, mɔst.<br> ''Mer'' (number), ''mɔr'' (quantity). |} The regular adjective adds ''er'' and ''est;'' as, ''long, longer, longest.'' ====IRREGULAR VERBS.==== {| width="100%" valign="top" |width="50%"| 1. werden, wurdi, worden.<br> 2. hav, had, haden.<br> 3. am, art, is, qr, was, wer, bin.<br> 4. wil, wud, wuden. |width="50%"| 5. shal, shud, shuden.<br> 6. kan, kud, kuden.<br> 7. mai, meit, meiten.<br> 8. du, did, don. |} The first auxiliary verb ''werden'' would be very convenient to us, and help us to employ the troublesome ''will'' and ''shall'' more in harmony with their nature and original usage. ''Will'' and ''shall'' are used very abnormally. We say I ''shall'' and you ''will,'' we ''should'' and they ''would.'' Other verbs are alike for all persons in conjugation; as, I can, you can, he can, we can, etc. There is an increased tendency to ignore the superfine and useless distinctions between would and should. In Scotland and in our Southern States ''would'' and ''should'' are confounded by high authorities; as, I ''would'' (should) not have thought so; we ''would'' (should) have been there. ''Will'' is employed to advantage only where volition is concerned, and ''shall'' where duty, obligation, or command is thought of. We can not say “The house ''wil'' burn,” but “the house ''werden'' burn.” The house can not ''will'' to burn, or have a will. ''Werden'' is therefore introduced and modified from the Anglo-Saxon ''weordhan;'' German and Dutch, ''werden;'' Danish and Norwegian, ''vorde;'' Swedish, ''värda.'' All Gothic people use this very convenient and clear auxiliary verb in the sense of futurity without implying volition. To use ''will'' and ''shall'' for volition, and also for futurity, is too indefinite. We need an extra auxiliary verb for futurity very much; still it will be used sparingly at first, as it is rather new with us, though our forefathers used it. It is only a revival of what we have had. ''Thai werden bekom sik,'' not they ''will'' becme sick, for they can have no such will. RULE 16. To form ''animal derivative names,'' we take the easiest and best known generic name, masculine or feminine, and add thereto ''ɪ'' for masculine, ''in'' for feminine, and ''et'' for the diminutive; as, ''lion'' (common gender), ''lionɪ'' (masculine), ''lionin'' (feminine), ''lionet'' (diminutive), ''lionetɪ'' (masculine diminutive), ''lionetin'' (feminine diminutive); ''dog, dogɪ, dogin, doget, dogetɪ, dogetin.'' This will be a very convenient method by which to name the more inferior animals, but ''man, horse,'' and ''ox'' are excepted from the rule. RULE 17. The ''descriptive power of participles and adjectives'' is much extended, as in Anglo-Saxon and all the other Gothic tongues, by employing them as descriptive personal nouns. By adding ''i'' as a general personal sign to participles and adjectives, we can say ''the lovqndi'' (the loving one), and by adding the gender signs ''ɪ, in,'' and ''it,'' we can specialize the idea so as to indicate whether the loving one ''(lovqndi),'' is a male, female, or a thing in the abstract; as, the ''lovqndɪ, lovqndin, lovqndit.'' In the same way we can take the adjective ''fein,'' and say the ''feini'' (the fine one in general); the ''feinɪ'' (the fine man or male); the ''feinin'' (the fine woman or female); the ''feinit'' (fine thing). German, ''das Schöne'' or ''Feine;'' Greek, ''to kalon.'' We can, of course, use a circumlocution to express the same ideas, as ''the fine man, the fine woman, the fine thing,'' but the expression loses its neatness and forcibleness. Our language is far behind in picturesque power. This power is possessed by the Anglo-Saxon and other Gothic languages. The Germans use different articles for masculine, feminine, and neuter, but it is easier to denote thes ideas by special suffixes, and not be troubled by so many articles as in German and Scandinavian. The past participle follows the same rule; as, the ''fqleni'' (the fallen in general), the ''fqlenɪ'' (masculine), the ''fqlenin'' (feminine), the ''fqlenit;'' the ''donit'' (German, ''das Gemachte), saienit (gesagte).'' By prefixing the plural article ''dɔ'' (df. do, du), and by adding the plural signs to substantive adjectives, we obtain clear plurals: ''Dɔ lovqnda'' (the loving ones); ''dɔ lovena'' (the loved ones); ''dɔ lovqndɪs'' (the loving men or males); ''dɔ lovqndina'' (the loving women or females); ''dɔ lovqndita'' (the loving things). These expressions need not be used much at first, but if we desire, as we naturally must do, a highly descriptive language not excelled by any other people, we need these points. We need them to make our language more poetical and picturesque. At present our grammar is very prosaic and generic. The few extra points required can be mastered in one day, and we have forever a thing of comfort and utility. RULE 18. ''Adjectives'' derived from ''proper nouns'' follow the general usage of other adjectives by adding ''anik, ik, lik, leik, ish, som,'' etc., so that we can tell the adjective from the noun, and the noun from the adjective; thus, a ''Dutchman'' who is a native of Holland is called a ''Hollander,'' and the adjective becomes ''Hollandik.'' A native of ''Frans,'' a ''Franser'' or ''Fransi,'' and ''French'' is called ''Fransik.'' The frequent names of ''English'' and ''German'' are excepted from the rule, and we say ''English'' instead of ''Englandik,'' and ''Doich'' instead of ''Doichlandik.'' The names of the inhabitants of all other lands are obtained by adding the regular personal endings ''er, qr, ɪr, ist, an'' (one). Countries whose names end on ''a,'' generally add ''n;'' as, ''Amerika, Amerikan'' (one from or in America), ''Russia,'' and ''Russian;'' but the adjective is made different from the derivative noun by adding ''ik'' on words ending with ''an,'' the most general adjective sign in both Gothic and Romanic languages; as, ''Amerikanik, Russianik, Assianik, Indianik, Afrikanik.'' Names of persons, being guarded by individual rights, remain intact unless their owners wish to spell them according to sound. Friends can easily ascertain each other’s method of spelling, but that will not affect the language proper. Names of countries and cities should adopt phonetic spelling as soon as possible; as, ''Nu York.'' Inhabitants—''Cheinar'' (Chinese); ''Japaner'' (Japanese); ''Judan'' (Jew from Juda); ''Nazarether'' (Nazarene); ''Greelyer'' (Greelyite); Kalvinist. Only ''er, qr, ɪr, lqr, nqr, an,'' and ''ist'' must be suffixes. RULE 19. ''Personal and impersonal agents'' are distinguished by the suffix ''qr'' or ''er'' and ''el. Thresher'' is the person that thershes, and very often the threshing machine itself is called ''thresher;'' but we have adopted the suffix ''el'' to denote the impersonal or thing actor or agent; as, ''threshel.'' ''El'' is much used for this purpose now in the Gothic tongues; as, ''shovel'' (the thing which shoves) and ''shover'' (person); ''handel'' and ''hander; rɪpel, rɪper'' (person). ''El'' means the thing acting or acted upon, or the product of an act. The context will show which is meant. ''Er'' may be retained with old familiar names, instead of ''qr.'' This ''el,'' taken from ''shovel'' and ''handel,'' etc., is, for some purposes, similar to an abbreviation of the Scandinavian ''else,'' as in ''fɔrthbringel,'' product; Scandinavian, ''frembringelse.'' This ''el'' is also convenient as a thing name for many acts where we do not think of the action, but of the result of the action. For instance, ''production'' and ''product; fɔrthbringing'' and ''fɔrthbringel. L'' is a very liquid, flowing sound. It is a defect in many languages not to have a distinction between so frequent and broadly different ideas as the personal and impersonal agent or actor. RULE 20. The ''personal affix A·r'' (qr). In order to make it clearer to the eye and ear, we have modified ''er,'' which is both a comparative sign and a personal sign. When a personal suffix, it becomes ''qr,'' as in ''scholar, liar.'' I have used ''er'' in the vocabulary, but ''qr'' can easily be substituted. It is sometimes doubtful whether a word is a comparative adjective or a personal noun; as, ''steadier.'' What does it mean? More steady, one who steadies, or a thing which steadies? Now, if ''qr'' is personal, ''er'' comparative, and ''el'' a thing sign, it all becomes very clear—''stediqr'' (one who steadies); ''stedier'' (more steady), and ''stediel'' (a thing which steadies). The suffix ''qr'' (ar) is used by the Saxons and all other Gothic people as a personal ending, more or less; but, of modern peoples, none employ it as much as the Swedes and the Russians. It is as easy to write ''qr'' as ''er,'' and we have a fine open distinction, in reading and hearing, between the comparative adjective and the personal noun. Where ''ɪr, an, lqr, nqr,'' or ''ist'' is used, the distinction is clear. With such words as ''father, mother, together, er'' is not a personal suffix, but an integral part of the word. ''Accent'' is generally on the syllable next to the last, as in Spanish and Welsh, unless we wish to emphasis the last syllable or the qualifying part of the word. Pronunciation of all new words is strictly according to the spelling; and the key words, except final ''o'' and ''u,'' are ''oh,'' ''oo.'' The sound of ''u'' in ''but, hut, rut,'' being a peculiar sound, is not much used in Saxon English; ''u'' in ''full, pull,'' or as in ''moon, soon,'' takes its place. The emphatic imperative and optative forms may add ''ai'' to verbs ending on consonants, which is much like the sound employed by the other Gothic tongues; as, ''komai'' (come thou); ''spɪkai'' (speak, or please speak). <small>Points whichi I have omitted to state formally may be gathered from the specimens. All points not mentioned remain as at present.</small> In case more vowels should be desired, we might, as in Anglo-Saxon, and the other Gothic tongues, add a vowel to all adjectives after the definite articles in singular and plural; as, the ''gudq man,'' dɔ ''feina hausa.'' If we desire, we might form the ''direct passive,'' as in the Scandinavian, by adding ''qs'' or ''s'' to the indicative; as, ''ei lovqs'' (I am loved), Latin, ''amor;'' thau ''lovqs'' (thou art loved), Latin, ''amaris;'' thau ''lovos'' (thou wert loved), Latin, ''amabaris.'' A short passive form seems to be favored as a variety. ''His'' and ''sein.''—We ought to have a distinction between ''his'' when demonstrative, and ''his'' when reflexive, to prevent such ambiguity as ''John gave his brother his book'' (which book?—his own or his brother’s?) If ''sein'' were used when reflexive, and ''his'' in all other cases, such uncertainty would be avoided. ''Sein'' and ''his'' are thus employed in the Scandinavian. In order not to have the ''to, too, two'' (the ''to-''sounds) too frequently, the infinitive sign ''to'' is pronounced ''tɔ'' (toh); the preposition ''to'' pronounced ''tu,'' and the numeral ''two twɔ (w'' pronounced with ''ɔ).'' We may increase the variety of the structure of sentences by allowing the predicate to precede the subject whenever something has first been said in a sentence. This is the case in all the Gothic tongues, and partially so in English; as, for instance, “I am ready, said the man” (not the man said); “when I went into the street, met I a friend.” And in order to increase our freedom of position, so as to be able to place first or last any word to which we may desire to call special attention in speech or poetry, we have adopted the Gothic objective sign ''em'' (m). This is to be used only where we wish the object to occupy a different position from the ordinary one. The ''boyem'' the man found, or the ''manem'' the boy found, or the ''manem'' found the boy; him found he, him he found, or him found he. Where we have an objective sign, we can see what is the object, wherever the word is placed. No more forms or words should be introduced in the beginning than indicated in the “Specimen Readings.” ==BRIEF KEYS TO SPELLING AND GRAMMAR.== ===SPELLING KEY.=== {| width="100%" |width="25%"| ''Ai,'' aim,<br> ''q,'' arm,<br> ''a,'' an (Ger. ä),<br> ''o,'' or, on,<br> ''ö,'' earn,<br> ''oi,'' oil,<br> ''ei,'' eye,<br> ''au,'' owl, |width="25%"| ''ɯ,'' rule,<br> ''ɔ,'' old,<br> ''ü,'' für,<br> ''ɪ,'' eel,<br> ''u,'' full, oo,<br> ''u,'' but,<br> ''i,'' it,<br> ''e,'' met,<br> |width="25%"| ''z,'' tsee,<br> ''y,'' yard,<br> ''sh,'' she,<br> ''ch,'' cheap,<br> ''th,'' the, thin,<br> ''w,'' we,<br> ''ks,'' x,<br> ''f,'' ph. |width="25%"| '''CAPITALS.'''<br> ''A·q, O·ɔ, U·ɯ, I·ɪ.<br> E'' before ''r'' has the sound of ''a'' in ''an.''<br> Final ''o'' and ''u'' are ''oh'' and ''oo.''<br> ''Oe'' and ''ue'' equals ''ö'' and ''ü.'' |} In writing draw a dash over the inverted ''ɯ'' to distinguish it from ''m'' or ''u'' and ''i.'' ===GRAMMAR KEY.=== # Plurals add ''a'' after consonants, and ''s'' after vowels. # The possessive case adds ''o'' after consonants, and ''no'' after vowels. # The past tense adds ''o'' after consonants, and ''do'' after vowels. # The present participle adds ''qnd,'' past participle ''en.'' # The verbal noun adds ''ing,'' the infinitive noun ''qn.'' # The masculine noun adds ''ɪ,'' the feminine ''in.'' # To verbalize a word, add ''u'' (gladu). # Definite article—singular ''the,'' plural ''dɔ.'' # The substantive adjective takes the plural sign. # To form the infinitive, add ''q.'' # Cardinals taken from the present numerals. # Ordinals formed by adding to cardinals ''tq.'' # Names of days and months—add to ordinals ''d'' or ''m.'' # Personal pronouns and auxiliary verbs nearly as before.<br> #:“ ''Sich'' and ''man'' (French, ''on)'' also employed.<br> #:“ The suffix ''i'' after adjectives refers to persons in general.<br> # Five irregular adjectives, and eight irregular verbs. # Lion, lionɪ, lionin, lionetɪ, lionetin, lionet. # Substantive adjectives add for sex, ''ɪ, in, it.'' # Adjectives from proper nouns regularly derived. # The personal agent adds ''qr, ɪr,'' etc.; impersonal ''el.'' # The personal actor adds ''qr;'' comparative adjective ''er, est.''

Every race has special inherited sentiments, as “history is a people’s intellectual soil, and language a people’s intellectual atmosphere.” # By Saxon material we reconquer what we have lost through the Norman French Conquest, and preserve our good inheritance from our Saxon forefathers, as true and conservative children. We become preservers, systematizers and refiners, and retain the beautiful picturesqueness and poeticalness of our ancient language; as, ''leaf-stalk'' for ''petiole.'' We shall not be innovators and iconoclasts in language, as we have been. Other leading peoples have purified their language, and are still doing so. # To simplify and purify is a duty we owe to rich and poor children, helping them to compete with the foreign schools having economical tongues. We can not always have a virgin soil (U. S.) and monopolize commerce. # We can not always play Romans and conquer territory, but must finally, as the Greeks, find more pleasure in art, poetry, music, science, philosophy, and higher literature; and “Pure Saxon English” prepares the way. # With an easier understood and remembered language, people will find more pleasure in popular knowledge. # More vowels will make our language more musical in conversation, in preaching, and singing at home, and become easier to pronounce by all men abroad. # By a systematic Saxon English we will lessen taxation by at least one hundred millions per annum, and raise the average intelligence and happiness. # Only a brief and simple grammar, as shown in “Russian Wolf Story” with 1800 new words, mostly self-defining, need to be learned, until final action is taken. More new words in the beginning would weaken the effort. # To facilitate education by means of systematization and simplification is in harmony with the spirit of our age and country. Everything should be done for the benefit of the people that does not clash with legal, vested, and inherited rights. An intelligent populace is safer and less subject to unreasonable fanaticism. # This plan will make Saxon-Gothic English international, and be an everlasting honer to the powerful English-speaking people. ==SPECIMEN READINGS.== ===MATHU (MATTHEW).=== ''(Pronounce q (ah); final o (oh), and final u (oo).

So ql dɔ geslekta from Abraham tu David qr fɔrtɪn geslekta; and from David until the trqging (carrying) awai intu Babilon qr fɔrtɪn geslekta; and from the trqging awai intu Babilon untu Kreist qr fɔrtɪn geslekta. 18. Nau the birth ov Jesus Kreist was on this weis. When as his mother Mairi was betrothen (espoused) tu Jɔsef, befɔr thai komo tugether, shɪ was feinden mit cheild ov the Hɔli Geist (Ghost). 19. Then Jɔsef her husband, bɪing (being) a gereitik (just) man, and not wiling to maik shim (her) an ofenli (public) beispɪl (example), was meinden to put shim awai heimli (privily). 20. But wheil hɪ thinko on thɪs thinga, behɔld, the ainjel ov the Lord ersheino (appeared) untu him in a drɪm, saiing, Jɔsef, thau son ov David, fɪr not to taik untu thɪ Mairi thei weif, for that which is infqngen (conceived) in shim is ov the Hɔli Geist. 21. And shɪ shal bring fɔrth a son, and thau shalt kql his naim JESUS: for hɪ shal ret (save) his folk from thair sina. 22.

Behɔld, a yungfrau (virgin) shal bɪ mit cheild, and shal bring fɔrth a son, and thau shal kql his naim Emmanuel, which bɪing twɪndoiten (interpreted) is, God mit us. 24. Then Jɔsef bɪing raisen from slɪp did as the ainjel ov the Lord had biden him, and taiko untu him his weif. 25. And nɔdo shim not til shɪ had bringen fɔrth her first birthen son: and hɪ kqlo his naim JESUS. '''HEDIT II.'''<br> (Chapter II.) Nau when Jesus was birthen in Bethlehem ov Judea in dɔ dais ov Herod the king, behɔld there komo weis mana from the ɪst to Jerusalem, 2. Saiing, Wher is hɪ that is birthen king ov dɔ Judana (Jews)? for wɪ hav sɪen his stqr in the ɪst, and qr komen to worship him. 3. When Herod the king had hɪren thɪs thinga, hɪ was trubelen and ql Jerusalem mit him. 4. And when hɪ had gatheren ql dɔ hed prɪsta and shriftlernika ov the folk sqmen (together), hɪ ferlqngo (demanded) ov them wher Kreist shud bɪ birthen. 5. And thai saido untu him, In Bethlehem ov Judea, for thus is it skreiben bei the profet. 6. And thau, Bethlehem, in the lqnd ov Juda, qr not the lɪst among dɔ fürsta (princes) ov Juda, for aut ov thɪ shal kom a staithɔldqr (governor) which shal rul mei folk Israel. 7. Then Herod, when hɪ had heimli kqlen dɔ weis mana, nqkfrqgo (inquired) ov them fleisli (diligently) what teim the stqr ersheino. 8. And sendo them tu Bethlehem, and saido: Go and forsh (search) fleisli for the yung cheild; and when yɪ hav feinden him, bring me word agen, that ei mai kom and worship him qlso. 9. When thai had hɪren the king, qbreiso (departed) thai; and lɔ, the stqr which thai sɪdo in the ɪst gɔdo befɔr them, til it komo and stando ɔver wher the yung cheild was. 10. When thai sɪdo the stqr, thai erfroido (rejoiced) sich mit übermqsik (exceeding) grait froid (joy). 11. And when thai wer komen intu the haus, sɪdo thai the yung cheild mit Mairi his mother, and fqlo daun and worshipo him; and when thai had ɔpenen thair shqtsa (treasures) thai fɔrthstelo (presented) untu him gifta, gɔld, rɪkel, and mira. 12. And bɪing wqrnen ov God in a drɪm that thai shud not bakwend (return) tu Herod, qbreiso thai intu thair ɔn lqnd another wai. 13. And when thai wer qbreisen, behɔld, the ainjel ov the Lord ersheino tu Jɔsef in a drɪm, saiing: Areis and taik the yung cheild and his mother, and flɪ intu Egipt, and bɪ thau ther until ei bring thɪ word; for Herod wil sɪk the yung cheild to umbring (destroy) him. 14. When hɪ areiso, taiko hɪ the yung cheild and his mother bei neit, and qbreiso intu Egipt. 15. And was ther until the deth ov Herod, that it meit bɪ fulfilen which was spɪken ov the Lord bei the profet, saiing: Aut ov Egipt hav ei kqlen mei son. 16. Then Herod, when hɪ sɪdo that hɪ was mislɪden ov dɔ weis mana, was hɪ übermqsik roth, and sendo fɔrth, and slaido ql dɔ cheilda that wer in Bethlehem, and in ql dɔ kɔsta therov, from twɔ yɪra ɔld and under, anstimik (according) tu the teim which hɪ had fleisli nqkfrqgen ov dɔ weis mana. 17.

But when hɪ hɪro that Archelaus did rul in Judea in the rɯm ov his fqther, Herod, was hɪ afraid to gɔ thither; notwithstanding, bɪing wqrnen ov God in a drɪm, wendo hɪ aseid intu dɔ teila (parts) ov Galilɪ. 23. And hɪ komo and dwelo in a stqd (city) kqlen Nazareth, that it meit bɪ fulfilen which was spɪken bei the profeta. Hɪ shal bɪ kqlen a Nazarether. ===RUSSIAN WOLF STORY.=== [A very good and touching piece to speak at school exhibitions and at concerts. It should be spoken slowly and distinctly.] Som yɪra ago, a Russianik qdelman (nobleman) was reisqnd (traveling) on bisnes in the ineri (interior) ov Russia, hus wuda qr ful ov wolfa. It was the beginning ov winter, but the frost had seten in erli. His farein (carriage to fare in) rɔlo up to a gesthaus (hotel), and hɪ ferlqngo (demanded) a nuspan (relay) ov horsa to bring him tu the nekst standort (station), wher hɪ wisho tu spend the neit. The gestkɪper telo him that ther was gefqr (danger) in reising (traveling) so lait, as dɔ wolfa wer aut. But the qdelman thinko the gestkɪper ɔnli wisho to kɪp him so as tu fermɔr (increase) his rekening (bill) agenst him; hɪ saido, therfɔr, it was tu erli for dɔ wolfa to bɪ aut. Hɪ then dreivo on mit his weif and cheild inseid the farein. On the boks ov the farein was a leifɔnɪm (serf, slave), hu had bin birthen tu him on the qdelmano gɯt (estate), and tu hum hɪ was much tutein (attached), and hɪ lovo his master as hɪ lovo his ɔn leif. Thai rɔlo over the hqrd sno, and ther sɪmo to bɪ no tɔken ov gefqr. The mɯn shedo its soft leit on the silveri rɔd on which thai wer gɔing. At length the litel girl saido tu her fqther: “What was the fremd (strange) haul that ei hɪro?” “O·! nothing but the wind seiing thru dɔ forest trɪs,” ansero the fqther. But sɯn shɪ saido agen: “Listen, fqther; ’tis not leik the wind, ei think.” The fqther listeno; and fqr, fqr awai in the qbstqnd (distance) beheind him, thru the klɪr frosti luft (air), hɪ hɪro lqrm (noise) ov which hɪ tu wel nɔdo (knew) the mɪning. Hɪ then pulo daun the windo, and spɪko tu his dɪnqr (servant) and saido: “Dɔ wolfa qr after us, ei fɪr; maik haist; tel the man to dreiv faster, and get yur pistol redi.” The dreivdɪnqr (postillion) dreivo faster. But the saim mɔrnful laut (sound, noise) which thai had hɪren befɔr komo nɪrer and nɪrer. It was klɪr a pak ov wolfa had smelen them aut. The qdelman prüfo (tried) to stil the qnkstful fɪr ov his weif and doter. At last the hauling ov the pak was doitli (distinctly) hɪren, so hɪ saido tu his dɪnqr: “When dɔ wolfa kom up tu us, pik thau aut an (one), and ei wil pik aut another; and, wheil the rest fersling (devour) them, wɪ shal get ahed.” As hɪ pulo daun the windo, hɪ sɪdo the pak in ful krei beheind a grɔs (large) dogwolf at thair hed. Two shota wer feiren and two wolfa fqlo. The othera augblikli (instantly) ongrabo (attacked) them and ferslingo them, and meanwheil the farein rɔlo on and wino teim and graund. But the smqk (taste) ov blud maiko them mɔr wütqnd (furious), and thai wer sɯn up tu the farein agen. Agen two shota wer feiren, and two wolfa mɔr fqlo, and wer ferslingn. But the farein was sneli (rapidly) ɔvertaiken, and the posthaus was yet fqr away in the qbstqnd (distance). Then the qdelman ordero the dreivdɪnqr to lɯs (loose) an ov dɔ fɔrhorsa (leaders) that thai meit win a litel mɔr teim and graund. This was don, and the qrm (poor) hors stürto (plunged) sich rqsqnd (frantically) intu the forest, and dɔ wolfa after him, and hɪ was kwikli zertaren (torn to pieces). Then another hors was senden of and sharo the saim shiksql as the first. The farein worko on as fast as it kud mit dɔ other horsa; but the posthaus was yet fqr awai. At last the leifdɪnqr (serf) saido tu his master: “Ei hav dɪnen (served) yu ever sins ei was a cheild; ei lov yu as ei du mei ɔn leif. Nothing kan ret (save) yu nau, auten (except) an thing. Let mɪ ret yu! Ei beten (pray) yu ɔnli to luk after mei weif and cheilda.” The qdelman widerstreito (remonstrated), but nɔgivli (in vain). When dɔ wolfa komo up agen the truful (faithful) dɪnqr thrɔdo sich among them. Dɔ hqrdbrɪthing horsa hoplaufo (galloped) on mit the farein, and the gait ov the posthaus slɪso (closed) in after them as the fɪrful pak was on the point ov maiking the last deiik (fatal) ongrab (attack). But the reisqnda (traveling ones) wer sicher (safe). The nekst morning thai gɔdo (went) aut and sɪdo (saw) the plais wher the truful dɪnqr had bin pulen daun bei dɔ wolfa. His bɔna ɔnli wer ther! On that spot the qdelman aufrikto (erected) a thinkmqrk (monument), on which was skreiben, in grɔs gɔlden bukstafa (letters), thus: <center>GRAITER LOV HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT HI· LAI DAUN HIS LEIF FOR HIS FRENDA.</center> [REMARKS.—Before speaking the foregoing story at any school exhibition or concert, let the teacher or foreman explain to the audience that this is a proposed pure Saxon English language, and explain the formation of the plural possessive case, past tense, past participles, and plural article, ''dɔ.''

Printed in the Chicago Times of January 27, 1890.)</small></center> TEKST—''“Mei lɔrsqts (doctrine) is not Mein, but His that sendo Mɪ.”'' John vii, 16. The teil (part) that man ausfür (performs) in the thot and work ov the world is ersheinli (apparently) grɔs (large), and often worthi ov prais; but it is ferhɔldik (relative) and bethingish (conditional), rather than absolut. Hɪ kan not sɪ mitaut leit, nor brɪth mitaut luft (air), nor think mitaut somthing to think abaut, and dɔ lqs (laws) ov thot bei which to think. That which man kql his ɔn, in a heier sens is not his ɔn. To bekom what hɪ is, and to erwerb (acquire) what hɪ has, hɪ has drqen upon other bakkela (resources); hɪ has borɔen from dɔ krqfta (forces) and mqkta (powers) ov natur, and leif, and fernunft (reason). Hens Jesus Kreist kud sai: “Mei lɔrsqts is not Mein, but His that sendo Mɪ.” Ther is a nɪdwendik (necessary), a selftherbɪik (self-existent) kel (source) from which ql is, a bɪing ov bɪinga, hum wɪ kql “Aur Fqther.” The fqrmer mai sai: “Thɪs qr mei fɪlda, mei bqrna, mei herda. Ei hav bezqlen (paid) for the land, ei hav planten, ei hav bilden,” and in this sens thai qr his. But hu ɔn the erth? Hu ɔn dɔ yɪrteima (seasons), the sunshein and the rain? Hu ɔn the geheimli (mysterious) somthing that wɪ kql leif, and the leifik (vital) stuflɔr (chemistry) bei which the gras gro and the grain reipu? Man skreib a buk, and kql it his ɔn, but hu ɔn dɔ kendɪda (facts) ov histori that it ertel (relates), or dɔ trutha ov grundlɔr (philosophy) that it unfɔld, or dɔ grunda (principles) ov wisenshqft (science) that it erklɪr (explains)? Mana (men) entwerf (project) gestɪringa (governments) and relijona, but thai du not klem (claim) to hav ershaipen (created) or to ɔn dɔ grunda ov frɪhud (liberty) and gereitikeit (justice); thai hav ɔnli brauken (used; Anglo-Saxon, ''brukan)'' what qlredi, therbɪdo (existed) in sqmbilding (constructing) a republik or a monqrki. And so mensha (men and women; Anglo-Saxon, ''mennisk)'' bild relijona upon thair begrifa (conceptions) ov God, but thai du not klem to ɔn the Unendik (Infinite). Jesus stando (stood) befɔr the sitlik (moral) order and lqs (laws) ov the worldql (universe). Hɪ inbodien (embodied) thɪs lqs and livo them, and sɪko to ofenbar (reveal) them tu othera.

Alexander, and Cæsar, and Napoleon wer grait mqkta in thair dai; but thai lɪvo beheind sich the ferwüstung (desolation) ov krɪg (war), and their mqkt (power) has pasen awai. Galileo, and Kopernikus, and Newton wer mqkta in the world ov wisenshqft (science); and deiing, thai lɪvo the skei, and dɔ stqra, and the godik (divine) order ov dɔ hevena, and mit them thai lɪvo the grait buk ov natur, and dɔ inbrɪthinga (inspirations) to go on tu stil heier errɪchela (attainments). Jesus Kreist lɪvo us the mqkt ov His beispɪl (example) ov self-opferung (self-sacrifice), and dɔ leidena (sufferings) ov lov to ret (save); Hɪ lɪvo dɔ hevena ql aglo mit the erinel (memory) ov a grait nu dai ov frɪd (peace), and the gud wil and the brutherhud ov man.

And thus qr ql tru tɪchera daunmutik (humble) and argiving (honor-giving, reverent; Anglo-Saxon, ar, honor, reverence), as thai stand befɔr dɔ grait trutha ov the worldql; thair mqkt is not in themselfa, but in dɔ trutha thai erklar (declare), and in bringing other meinda in leifik bezɪunga (relations) mit thɪs trutha.

Also, the incorporable nouns would be a small class like counters: a generic marker standing for a whole class of things. e.g. ''u'' as a noun means 'trent' but as an incorporated noun could stand for any kind of person.

The dialect known as '''[[Castilian]]''' is from Spain only and has grammatical and phonological differences from southern Spain and all other dialects of Spanish. {{Language| | English = Spanish | native = Español | dialect english = | country = Spain (among many others) | nativecountry = España | universe = Real world | speakers = 400 million native. | family = [[Indo-European]] | branch = [[Italic languages| Italic]] | subbranch = Romance <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Latin]] <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ibero | wordorder = SVO, | type = Inflecting | alignment = nominative-accusative | author = unknown | date = 15th century C.E. | background = white | headingbg = violet | width = 33% }} =Phonology and Orthography= ==Consonants== {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod.||colspan=2| Inter-dental||colspan=2| Alveolar||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || m || || || || || || n || || || || ɲ || || ŋ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || p || b || || || t̪ || d̪ || || || || || || || k || g || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || β || f || || (θ) || (ð) || s || || (ʃ) || (ʒ) || ç || || x || ɣ || (h) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || || || || || ʧ || (ʤ) || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants & glides || || || || || || || || || || || || j |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || r || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Flap || || || || || || || || ɾ || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || l/ɫ |} </div> * Many of the orthographic sounds in Spanish are similar to their IPA equivalents: p, k, t, n, m, l and f. * The three voiced stops often become their fricative equivalents when they are in a inter-vocallic case, or between vowels. This means /d̪/ becomes /ð/, /g/ becomes /ɣ/, and /b/ becomes /β/. * Most of the time orthographic '''v''' becomes /b/ or /β/ according to the rule above. * The digraph '''ch''' is used for ʧ, but in some dialects it is pronounced /ʃ/ instead. * Spanish distinguishes the full trill /r/ from the flap /ɾ/. The full trill starts a word, is after a '''d''', or is more generally spelt '''rr'''. This can be important in phrases and names, for example '''Costa Rica''' /costa rika/ is turned into an adjective as '''costarricense''' where the spelling has changed to include a '''rr'''. The flap is only spelt '''r''' inside a word. There are minimal pairs such as '''pero''' (but) versus '''perro''' (dog). * The letter '''ñ''' is pronounced /ɲ/. * The letter '''c''' is pronounced /k/ when before a back vowel (a, o, u) or any consonant. In Castilian Spanish, when the '''c''' is in front of a front vowel (i, e) it becomes /θ/. In most other variations it becomes /s/. * The letter '''z''' is pronounced /s/ in most Spanish dialects but is pronounced /θ/ in Castilian. * The letter '''y''' or the digraph '''ll''' represents /j/, but in some dialects it is pronounced /ʤ/ or /ʒ/ instead. * The letter '''j''' is pronounced /x/ after back vowels (a, o, u) and /ç/ after or before front vowels and consonants. Some variations have it as /h/ but not commonly. * The letter '''g''' is pronounced /g/ after back vowels and consonants, but when before '''i''' or '''e''' it becomes /ç/. Some variations have it is /h/ but not commonly. When the '''g''' has a '''u''' after it, and then a '''i''' or '''e''', the /u/ is not pronounced and the combination '''gui''' is pronounced /gi/ and '''gue''' is pronounced /ge/. If it spelt '''güe''' or '''güi''' then it is pronounced /gwe/ or /gwi/ respectively. ==Vowels== {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- | |||Front || Central || Back |- | || Unround || Unrounded || Rounded |- | High || i || || u |- | Mid || e || || o |- | Low || || a |} </div> * All vowels are equivalent to the IPA forms. So '''i''' /i/, '''e''' /e/, '''a''' /a/, '''o''' /o/, '''u''' /u/. * All vowels are either stressed or not stressed. Spanish, like most [[Romance Languages]], has penultimate stress (stress on the last syllable). When the stress falls on a syllable other than the last, an accent is used. This leads to '''í''', '''é''', '''á''', '''ó''', and '''ú'''. The '''ü''' is used in Spanish to indicate when a /u/ would be pronounced after a '''g'''. * Accents on vowels are also used to show a difference in meaning. This is important in question words, which have an accent when they are used as a question, and no accent when they are used in other ways, '''dónde''' vs. '''donde'''. It's also used to show more specific meaning differences, such as '''el''' (the) vs. '''él''' (he), or '''tu''' (your) vs. '''tú''' (you). ==Diphthongs== This is the list of diphthongs: *'''ei''', '''ey''', '''ell''' /ej/ *'''ai''', '''all''', '''ay''' /aj/ *'''oi''', '''oy''', '''oll''' /oj/ *'''eu''' /ew/ *'''au''' /aw/ *'''ou''' /ow/ *'''ie''', '''lle''' /je/ *'''ia''', '''lla''' /ja/ *'''io''', '''llo''' /jo/ *'''iu''' /ju/ *'''ui''' /wi/ *'''ue''' /we/ *'''ua''' /wa/ *'''uo''' /wo/. =Grammar= ==Nouns== ===Gender=== There are two genders in Spanish, Masculine and Feminine. One sources uses the mnemonic L-O-N-E-R-S, to show which noun endings are masculine, and D-IÓN-Z-A for feminine nouns. *This would mean that words which ending in the first set of letters are almost always masculine, such as '''el baúl''' (trunk), '''el vino''' (wine), '''el pan''' (bread), '''el padre''' (father), '''el licor''' (liquor), and '''el dios''' (god). The major exception in this group is the use of '''-e''' which is common for both genders. *This would also mean that words ending in the second set of letters would be feminine, such as '''la verdad''' (truth), '''la mansión''' (mansion), '''la vejez''' (old age), and '''la pierna''' (leg). There are certain endings which are usually one or the other. An example would be that most nouns ending with '''-ma''' are masculine, such as '''el problema''', '''el programma''', '''el diploma''', '''el drama''', and more. ===Number=== Number in Spanish is fairly simple and straight forward. The plural is usually formed by adding '''-s''' to a noun ending in a vowel, and '''-es''' to a noun ending in a consonant. There are a few exceptions, but that's the basic system. ===Articles=== There are 2 kinds of articles in Spanish, definite and indefinite. They also change by number and gender. For the definite article ('''the''' in English), we have the following chart: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! ! Singular ! Plural |- | '''Masculine''' || el || los |- | '''Feminine''' || la || las |} The masculine article can also contract with the preposition '''á''' and '''de''' to make '''al''' and '''del'''. <br> <br> The indefinite article in Spanish is derived from the word for '''one''', '''uno''' (this also occurs in [[High German]] and [[English]] amongst many others). There is a plural form, which is similar to the word '''some''' in English. The chart is as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! ! Singular ! Plural |- | '''Masculine''' || un || unos |- | '''Feminine''' || una || unas |} ==Pronouns== ===Subject Pronouns=== Subject pronouns in Spanish are as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! ! colspan="1" align="center"| Singular ! colspan="1" align="center"| Plural |- | '''First''' || yo || nosotros/nosotras |- | '''Second informal''' || tú || vosotros/vosotras |- | '''Second Formal''' ||Usted || Ustedes |- | '''Third Masculine''' || él || ellos |- | ''''Third Feminine''' || ella || ellas |} Because of the extensive verb endings, in most cases the subject pronoun may be dropped. When it is included in speech it is usually an indicator of stress or emphasis, or otherwise it would differentiate endings, such as that between the verb endings which are the same, such as between the '''Usted''' form form the '''él/ella''' forms and likewise in the plural. Notes: '''tú''' is used on in cases of familiarity, so that includes friends, children, family, and others. The plural form, '''vosotros''' is being used less and less in places other than Spain. A new pronoun '''vos''' has been forming in Central and South America and has been replacing '''tú'''. '''Usted''' is used in formal cases, or cases where '''Sir/Ma'am/Miss''' would be used in English. '''nosotras''' or '''vosotras''' are only when the group mentioned (either we or you) is entirely female. Otherwise, the masculine forms are used. ===Direct Object Pronouns=== ===Indirect Object Pronouns=== ===Reflexive Pronouns=== ==Adjectives== Adjectives have 4 forms, masculine singular, feminine singular, masculine (and feminine combined) plural, and feminine plural. With adjectives ending with masc. sing. '''-o''', the fem. sing. '''-a''', masc. pl. '''-os''', and fem. pl. '''-as'''. With adjectives ending in an consonant or ending with '''-e''', the form is the same for both singular cases, and the plural is '''-es''' for endings of consonants and '''-s''' in the case of ending with '''-e'''. There are other rules which have endings of '''-a''' after a consonant (such as masc. '''español''' vs fem. '''española''') ==Adverbs== The most common way for an adverb to end is '''-mente''', which is added to the feminine singular form of the Adjective. ==Prepositions== ==Conjunctions== ==Verbs== <i> Main Article: [[Spanish Verbs]] <i><br> There are three major types of verbs, also called the three conjugations. These depend on the ending of the infinitive, leaving with the three categories being called '''-ar''' verbs, '''-er''' verbs, and '''-ir''' verbs. ===Present=== The present tense in Spanish is equivalent to the Present, Present Progressive, and Emphatic tenses in English. Remember that the Third person also includes "Usted/Ustedes" which are technically the Second Person. The '''-ar''' verb '''amar''' (to love), the '''-er''' verb '''comer''', and the '''-ir''' verb '''vivir''' are conjugated in the Present tense as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Amar''' To love || colspan="2" align="center"| '''Comer''' to eat ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Vivir''' to live |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || amo || amamos || como || comemos || vivo || vivimos |- | '''2nd person''' || amas || amáis || comes || coméis || vives || vivís |- | '''3rd person''' || ama || aman || come || comen || vive || viven |} ===Progressive=== The progressive in Spanish, which is similar to the English progressive, is formed with a form of the verb '''estar''' and an ending of '''-ndo''' ('''-ando''' for '''-ar''', and '''-iendo''' for '''-er''' and '''-ir'''). The present tense is usually used where the progressive might be used in English. In Spanish, the progressive is often used as an adjective, although the verbal form is used as well. ===Preterite=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Preterite tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Amar''' To love || colspan="2" align="center"| '''Comer''' to eat ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Vivir''' to live |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || amé || amamos || comí || comimos || viví || vivimos |- | '''2nd person''' || amaste || amastéis || comiste || comisteis || viviste || vivisteis |- | '''3rd person''' || amó || amaron || comió || comieron || vivió || vivieron |} ===Imperfect=== The imperfect past tense is used for things that happened habitually in the past.

The first is the standard form, which is mentioned below. It is used for describing things that will happen. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Future tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Amar''' To love || colspan="2" align="center"| '''Comer''' to eat ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Vivir''' to live |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || amaré || amaremos || comeré || comeremos || viviré || viviremos |- | '''2nd person''' || amarás || amaréis || comeréis || comeréis || vivirás || viviréis |- | '''3rd person''' || amará || amarán || comerá || comerán || vivirá || vivirán |} <br> The second form involves a version of the verb '''ir''' (to go) + '''a'''.

Thus the term can refer to [[nasal]]s, though ''oral stops'' are usually meant. [[Affricate]]s are also be subsumed under stops under the previous definition.

(This is sometimes stated in terms of /p t k ʔ/; however, this does not work in cases where the only labial stop is voiced /b/.) From this we can sketch out subtypes. * Both languages with and without the glottal stop are commonplace. * Languages without labial stops are found in the Americas, including [[Iroquioan]] languages and [[Tlingit]], as well as around Northern Africa, including [[Arabic]] and [[Hausa]]. * [[Aleut]] lacks both labial plosives and /ʔ/ (though it does have /m/, and /p b/ occur in Russian loans). * Possibly the only language without any coronal stops or affricates is [[Hawaiian]], however even it has /n/. Among the [[Khoisan]] languages, N|u bizarrely turns up lacking /t d/. It does have /n ts/. * Languages without velar stops are found sparsely, including the pacific [[Samoan]] and the Brazilian [[Xavante]]. Nasal stops are also found in most languages. In some, including African languages as well as Amazonian languages like [[Pirahã]], they may be allophonic with oral stops (more rarely, with other sonorants eg. [m] ~ [ɓ], or [n] ~ [l]), and thus, missing phonemically but not phonetically. Tlingit again works as an example where nasals are lacking also phonetically. The same goes for the quite minimal [[Rotokas]]. :[[ANADEW]]: [[Pirahã]] has [m] only as an allophone of /b/, and [k] but possibly not /k/. [[Winnebago]] lacks /t/ but has /d/.

But does this mean that we eventually ''want'' to have a single page with the collective lexicons of all languages, arranged "alphabetically" by IPA character?

Latin 828 51498 2010-01-13T17:44:55Z Tropylium 756 /* See also */ more links we won't need '''Latin''' is an [[classical language|ancient]] [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European language]] originally spoken in the region around [[Rome]] called [[Latium]]. It gained wide usage as the formal language of the [[Roman Republic]] and [[Roman Empire]]. An [[inflection]]al and [[synthetic language]], Latin relies little on [[word order in Latin|word order]], conveying meaning through a system of [[affix]]es attached to [[word stem]]s. The [[Latin alphabet]], derived from the [[Greek alphabet|Greek]], remains the most widely used [[alphabet]] in the world. Although now widely considered an [[extinct language]] with very few fluent speakers, Latin has had a major influence on many languages that are still thriving, and continues to see wide use in areas such as [[academia]]. All [[Romance language]]s are descended from [[Vulgar Latin]], and many words adapted from Latin are found in other [[modern language]]s, such as [[English language|English]]. Moreover, in the [[Western world]], Latin was the ''[[lingua franca]]'', the learned language for scientific and political affairs, for more than a thousand years, eventually being replaced by French in the [[18th century]] and English in the late [[19th century|19th]]. [[Ecclesiastical Latin]] remains the formal language of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] to this day, and thus the official language of the [[Vatican City|Vatican]]. The Church used Latin as its primary [[liturgical language]] until the [[Second Vatican Council]] in the [[1960s]]. Latin is also still used&mdash;drawing heavily on [[Greek language|Greek]] roots&mdash;to furnish the names used in the [[scientific classification]] of living things. The modern study of Latin, along with [[Ancient Greek|Greek]], is known as [[Classics]]. ==History== {{main|History of the Latin Language}} [[Image:Duenos inscription.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Duenos inscription]], from the 6th century BC, is the second-earliest known [[Old Latin|Latin]] text.]] Latin is a member of the family of [[Italic languages]], and its alphabet, the [[Latin alphabet]], is based on the [[Old Italic alphabet]], which is in turn derived from the [[Greek alphabet]]. Latin was first brought to the [[Italy|Italian]] peninsula in the 9th or 8th century BC by migrants from the north, who settled in the [[Latium]] region, specifically around the River [[Tiber]], where the [[ancient Rome|Roman civilization]] first developed. Latin was influenced by the [[Italo-Celtic|Celtic dialects]] and the non-[[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] [[Etruscan language]] in northern Italy, and by [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] in southern Italy. Although surviving [[Latin literature]] consists almost entirely of [[Classical Latin]], an artificial and highly stylized and polished [[literary language]] from the 1st century BC, the actual spoken language of the Roman Empire was [[Vulgar Latin]], which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar, vocabulary, and eventually pronunciation. Also, although Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, [[Greek language|Greek]] came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite, as most of the literature studied by Romans was written in Greek. In the eastern half of the Roman Empire, which became the [[Byzantine Empire]], Greek eventually supplanted Latin as both the written and spoken language. ===Legacy=== [[Image:Calligraphy.malmesbury.bible.arp.jpg|left|thumb|250px|The language of [[ancient Rome|Rome]] has had a profound impact on later cultures, as demonstrated by this [[Ecclesiastical Latin|Latin]] [[Bible]] from AD 1407.]] The expansion of the Roman Empire spread Latin throughout Europe, and over time Vulgar Latin evolved and [[dialect]]ized in different locations, gradually shifting into a number of distinct [[Romance language]]s beginning around the 9th century. These were for many centuries only spoken languages, Latin still being used for writing. For example, Latin was the official language of [[Portugal]] until 1296, when it was replaced by [[Portuguese]]. Many of these languages, including Portuguese, [[Spanish]], [[French]], [[Italian]], and [[Romanian]], flourished, the differences between them growing greater over time. Classical Latin and the Romance languages differ in a number of ways, and some of these differences have been used in attempts to reconstruct Vulgar Latin. For example, the Romance languages have distinctive stress, whereas Latin had distinctive length of vowels. In Italian and [[Sardo logudorese]], there is distinctive length of consonants and stress, in Spanish only distinctive stress, and in French even stress is no longer distinctive. Another major distinction between Romance and Latin is that all Romance languages, excluding Romanian, have lost their case endings in most words, except for some pronouns. Romanian retains a direct case (nominative/accusative), an indirect case (dative/genitive), and a vocative. There has also been a major [[Latin influence in English]]. Although [[English language|English]] is [[Germanic language|Germanic]] rather than Romanic in origin&mdash;[[Britannia]] was a [[Roman province]], but the Roman presence in Britain had effectively disappeared by the time of the [[Anglo-Saxon]] invasions&mdash;English borrows heavily from Latin and Latin-derived words, drawing from ecclesiastical usage and from Romance languages like French. In fact, after the [[Battle of Hastings]], the new King of England, [[William I of England|William the Conqueror]], spoke [[French]], and French became the accepted language of the court and nobility, drastically changing the pre-invasion English language ([[Old English]]). However, [[English grammar]] is independent of [[Latin grammar]], though [[prescription and description|prescriptive grammarians]] in English have been heavily influenced by Latin. Attempts to make English grammar follow Latin rules&mdash;such as the prohibition against the [[split infinitive]]&mdash;have not worked successfully in regular usage. From the 16th to the 18th centuries, English writers created huge numbers of new words from Latin and Greek roots. These words were dubbed "[[inkhorn]]" or "inkpot" words, as if they had spilled from a pot of ink. Many of these words were used once by the author and then forgotten, but some remain. ''Imbibe'', ''extrapolate'', ''dormant'' and ''inebriation'' are all inkhorn terms carved from Latin words. In fact, the word ''etymology'' is derived from the Greek word ''etymologia'', meaning "true sense of the word". It is said that 80% of all scholarly English words are derived from Latin, in a large number of cases by way of French. ===Grammar=== {{main|Latin grammar}} Latin is a [[Synthetic language|synthetic]] [[inflection]]al language: [[affix]]es (which usually encode more than one grammatical category) are attached to fixed [[stem (linguistics)|stem]]s to express [[grammatical gender|gender]], number, and [[grammatical case|case]] in [[adjective]]s, [[noun]]s, and [[pronoun]]s, which is called [[declension]]; and [[person]], number, [[tense]], [[voice]], [[mood]], and [[aspect]] in [[verb]]s, which is called [[Latin conjugation|conjugation]]. There are five declensions (''declinationes'') of nouns and four conjugations of verbs. There are seven noun cases: # [[Nominative case | Nominative]] (used as the subject of the verb or the predicate nominative), # [[Genitive case | Genitive]] (used to indicate relation or possession, often represented by the English ''of'' or the addition of '''s'' to a noun), # [[Dative case | Dative]] (used of the indirect object of the verb, often represented by the English ''to'' or ''for''. Common verbs used with this case include giving, showing, helping, trusting, and telling.) # [[Accusative case | Accusative]] (used of the direct object of the verb, or object of the preposition in some cases), # [[Ablative]] (separation, source, cause, or [[instrumental case|instrument]], often represented by the English ''by'', ''with'', ''from''), # [[Vocative]] (used of the person or thing being addressed), # [[Locative case ]] (used for certain words such as "house", "ground", and "countryside". The locative case also applies to city names such as "Rome", "Venice" or "Naples".) Latin itself, being a very old language, is far closer to Proto-Indo-European than are most modern Western European languages; it has, in fact, about the same relationship with PIE as modern Italian or French has to Latin. There are six general [[tense]]s in Latin (technically they are tense/aspect/mood complexes). The indicative mood can be used with all of them. The subjunctive [[mood]], however, has only present, imperfect, perfect, and pluperfect tenses. These tenses in the subjunctive mood do not completely correlate in meaning to the tenses in the indicative. The following examples are of the first conjugation verb ''laudare'' ("to praise") in the indicative mood and the active [[voice]]: ;Present system tenses # [[Present tense | Present]] (''laudo'', "I praise," "I am praising") # [[Imperfect tense | Imperfect]] (''laudabam'', "I was praising"; ''laudabat'', "he was praising") # [[Future tense | Future]] (''laudabo'', "I shall praise," "I will praise") ;Perfect system tenses # [[Perfect aspect | Perfect]] (''laudavi'', "I praised," "I have praised") # [[Pluperfect tense | Pluperfect]] (''laudaveram'', "I had praised") # [[Perfect aspect | Future perfect]] (''laudavero'', "I shall have praised," "I will have praised") The future perfect tense can also imply a normal future idea (like in "When I will have run..."). == Education == [[Image:Latin_dictionary.jpg|thumb|250px|A multi-volume Latin dictionary in the University Library of Graz.]] Although Latin was once the universal academic language in Europe, in recent years it has been supplanted by the study of many other languages; it is a requirement in relatively few places, and in some schools is not even offered. However, in Italy, Latin is still compulsory in secondary schools such as the ''Liceo Classico'' and ''Liceo Scientifico'', which are usually attended by people who aim to the highest level of education. In ''Liceo Classico'', [[ancient Greek]] is also a compulsory subject. In France, Latin is found in the Lycée Classique, and in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands at the highest level of high schools called Gymnasium. Latin was once taught in many of the schools in Britain with academic leanings&mdash;perhaps 25% of the total.[http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/T/teachem2/thennow/] However, the requirement for it was gradually abandoned in the professions such as law and medicine, and then, from around the late 1960s, for admission to university. After the introduction of the Modern Language [[General Certificate of Secondary Education|GCSE]] in the 1980s, it was gradually replaced by other languages, although it is now being taught by more schools along with other classical languages. The linguistic element of Latin courses offered in high schools or secondary schools, and in universities, is primarily geared toward an ability to translate Latin texts into modern languages, rather than using it in oral communication. As such, the skill of reading is heavily emphasized, whereas speaking and listening skills are barely touched upon. However, there is a growing movement, sometimes known as the [[Living Latin]] movement, whose supporters believe that Latin can, or should, be taught in the same way that modern "living" languages are taught, that is, as a means of both spoken and written communication. One of the most interesting aspects of such an approach is that it assists speculative insight into how many of the ancient authors spoke and incorporated sounds of the language stylistically; without understanding how the language is meant to be heard it is very difficult to identify patterns in Latin poetry. Institutions offering Living Latin instruction include the [[Vatican City|Vatican]] and the University of Kentucky. In [[Great_Britain|Britain]], the [[Classical Association]] encourages this approach, and there has been something of a vogue for books describing the adventures of a mouse called Minimus. In the [[United States]], there is a thriving competitive organization for high school Latin students, the National Junior Classical League (the second-largest youth organization in the world after the Boy Scouts), backed up by the Senior Classical League for college students. Many would-be [[international auxiliary language]]s have been heavily influenced by Latin, and the moderately successful [[Interlingua]] considers itself to be the modernized and simplified version of the language (''le latino moderne international e simplificate''). Latin translations of modern literature such as Paddington Bear, Winnie the Pooh, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Le Petit Prince, Max und Moritz, and The Cat in the Hat have also helped boost interest in the language. == See also == {{col-begin}} {{col-2}}<!--related to Latin as a language--> * [[Latin grammar]] ** [[Ablative absolute]] ** [[Latin declension]] ** [[Latin conjugation]] ** [[Word order in Latin]] * [[Latin spelling and pronunciation]] * [[Latin alphabet]] ** [[ISO/IEC 8859-1|Latin-1]] * [[List of Latin phrases]] * [[Greek and Latin roots]] * [[List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names]] * [[List of Latin words with English derivatives]] ** [[Latin verbs]] with English derivatives ** [[Latin nouns]] with English derivatives {{col-2}}<!--other less language-specific topics--> * [[Ancient Rome]] * [[Romance languages]] * [[Simlish]] {{col-end}} == References == * Bennett, Charles E.

It will be updated ASAP. BPJ 10:06, 16 Jul 2005 (PDT) = Nouns and adjectives = == Nouns == Nouns in Slevan inflect for number and case, and adjectives in addition inflect for gender. There are three main declensions, with a few subtypes within each declension. === First declension nouns === First declension nouns are typically feminine in gender. Those few masculines of the first declension that existed in Latin have as a rule been superseded by other formations, and loanwords that belong to the first declension masculine in Latin are normally assigned to the second declension in Slevan. The paradigms for the first declension are '''roza''' 'rose' and '''vilja''' 'daughter, girl': {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" ! !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural |- |valign="top"|'''Nominative, Accusative''' |valign="top"|roza |valign="top"|roze |valign="top"|vilja |valign="top"|vilje |- |valign="top"|'''Genitive''' |valign="top"|roze |valign="top"|rozár |valign="top"|vilje |valign="top"|viljár |- |valign="top"|'''Dative''' |valign="top"|roze |valign="top"|rozav |valign="top"|vilje |valign="top"|viljav |} === Second declension nouns === The second declension in Slevan represents a merger of the second and fourth declension of Latin. The nouns belonging here are masculine, with a few exceptions like '''mán''' f. 'hand'. There is no neuter gender in Slevan, the neuter having merged into the masculine early on. The paradigms for the second declension are '''mýr''' 'wall' and '''bánj''' 'bath': {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" ! !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural |- |valign="top"|'''Nominative, Accusative''' |valign="top"|mýr |valign="top"|myry |valign="top"|bánj |valign="top"|bani |- |valign="top"|'''Genitive''' |valign="top"|myry |valign="top"|myrúr |valign="top"|bani |valign="top"|banjúr |- |valign="top"|'''Dative''' |valign="top"|myru |valign="top"|myrov |valign="top"|banju |valign="top"|banjov |} The main subtypes of the second declension are represented by '''popol''' 'people' and '''lábelj''' 'lip'. Note the extra syllable in the nominative-accusative singular and the alternation between long and short vowel in the stem: {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" ! !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural |- |valign="top"|'''Nominative, Accusative''' |valign="top"|popol |valign="top"|póply |valign="top"|lábelj |valign="top"|labli |- |valign="top"|'''Genitive''' |valign="top"|póply |valign="top"|póplúr |valign="top"|labli |valign="top"|labljúr |- |valign="top"|'''Dative''' |valign="top"|póplu |valign="top"|póplov |valign="top"|lablju |valign="top"|labljov/lablv |} Two other subtypes are presented below. '''Áher''' 'field' is similar to the two previous types, while amec 'friend' together with other words which ended in ''-ICUS'' in Romance forms a subtype of their own: {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" ! !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural |- |valign="top"|'''Nominative, Accusative''' |valign="top"|áher |valign="top"|ahry |valign="top"|amec |valign="top"|ameczi |- |valign="top"|'''Genitive''' |valign="top"|ahry |valign="top"|ahrúr |valign="top"|ameczi |valign="top"|amecúr |- |valign="top"|'''Dative''' |valign="top"|ahru |valign="top"|ahrov |valign="top"|amecu |valign="top"|amecov |} === Third declension nouns === The third declension includes both masculine and feminine nouns, without any difference in inflection based on gender. There are however, like in the second declension, a number of subtypes due to differences in the final sound of the stem. The most distinctive trait of the third declension is the lack of an ending (but lengthening of the vowel of the final syllable of the stem) in the genitive plural. The two basic types of inflection in the third declension are represented by '''súlj''' 'sun' and '''pastúr''' 'shepherd': {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" ! !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural |- |valign="top"|'''Nominative, Accusative''' |valign="top"|súlj |valign="top"|sulje |valign="top"|pastúr |valign="top"|pasturje |- |valign="top"|'''Genitive''' |valign="top"|suli |valign="top"|súlj |valign="top"|pasturi |valign="top"|pastúr |- |valign="top"|'''Dative''' |valign="top"|suli |valign="top"|suljev |valign="top"|pasturi |valign="top"|pasturev |} Stems ending in '''cz''' and '''zs''' are represented by krcz 'cross' and '''ljézs''' 'law': {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" ! !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural |- |valign="top"|'''Nominative, Accusative''' |valign="top"|krcz |valign="top"|krcze |valign="top"|ljézs |valign="top"|ljezse |- |valign="top"|'''Genitive''' |valign="top"|krczi |valign="top"|krcz |valign="top"|ljezsi |valign="top"|ljézs |- |valign="top"|'''Dative''' |valign="top"|krczi |valign="top"|krczev |valign="top"|ljezsi |valign="top"|ljezsev |} == Adjectives == Adjectives in Slevan are declined exactly like nouns of the corresponding declensions and types. === First and second declension adjectives === The first and largest class of adjectives follow the first declension in the feminine and the second declension in the masculine, e.g. '''nóv''' 'new': {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" ! !valign="top"|Masculine !valign="top"| !valign="top"|Feminine !valign="top"| |- ! !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural !valign="top"|Singular !valign="top"|Plural |- |valign="top"|'''Nominative, Accusative''' |valign="top"|nóv |valign="top"|novy |valign="top"|nova |valign="top"|nove |- |valign="top"|'''Genitive''' |valign="top"|novy |valign="top"|novúr |valign="top"|nove |valign="top"|novár |- |valign="top"|'''Dative''' |valign="top"|novu |valign="top"|novov |valign="top"|nove |valign="top"|novav |} === Third declension adjectives === Third declension adjectives also are declined just like nouns.

In reality the four conjugations of [[Wikipedia:Latin|Latin]] remain distinct in Slevan, but Mrác choose another categorization both in order to conform to the classification of other modern Romance languages, and because many Slevan verbs belong to conjugation 2.B. in the present but to 2.A. in the Simple past. Slevan has three simple tenses &mdash; ''Present'' ('''prezsátj'''), ''Imperfect'' ('''japravéc''') and ''Simple past'' ('''pasát''') &mdash;, three compound tenses &mdash; ''Perfect'' ('''pravéc'''), ''Pluperfect'' ('''plypravéc''') and ''Future'' ('''votýr''') &mdash;, two moods &mdash ''Indicative'' ('''jadecatív''') and ''Subjunctive'' ('''konjúcív''') &mdash; and two voices &mdash; ''Active'' ('''acív''') and ''Passive'' ('''pasív'''). == Simple tenses == === The Indicative === {| style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" |+'''''Slevan simple tenses in the indicative''''' |- | || ''1. conjugation'' || ''2. conjugation A'' || ''2. conjugation B'' || ''3. conjugation'' |- | || ''Infinitive'' |- | || '''amár''' || '''taczér''' || '''rezser''' || '''dromír''' |- | || 'love' || 'be silent' || 'rule' || 'sleep' |- | || ''Present'' |- | 1. sg. || '''amu''' || '''taczu''' || '''rehu''' || '''dromesku''' |- | 2. || '''amaj''' || '''taczej''' || '''rezsi''' || '''dromeszi''' |- | 3. || '''ama''' || '''tacze''' || '''rezse''' || '''dromesze''' |- | 1. pl. || '''amám''' || '''taczém''' || '''rezsem''' || '''dromím''' |- | 2. || '''amátj''' || '''taczétj''' || '''rezsetj''' || '''dromítj''' |- | 3. || '''amú''' || '''tacza''' || '''rehú''' || '''dromeszú''' |- | || ''Imperative'' |- | Sg. || '''ám''' || '''tácz''' || '''rézs''' || '''dromesz''' |- | Pl. || '''amátj''' || '''taczétj''' || '''rezsetj''' || '''dromítj''' |- | || ''Imperfect'' |- | 1. sg. || '''amaba''' || '''taczeba''' || '''rezseba''' || '''dromljeba''' |- | 2. || '''amabaj''' || '''taczebaj''' || '''rezsebaj''' || '''dromljebaj''' |- | 3. || '''amaba''' || '''taczeba''' || '''rezseba''' || '''dromljeba''' |- | 1. sg. || '''amabám''' || '''taczebám''' || '''rezsebám''' || '''dromljebám''' |- | 2. || '''amabátj''' || '''taczebátj''' || '''rezsebátj''' || '''dromljebátj''' |- | 3. || '''amabú''' || '''taczebú''' || '''rezsebú''' || '''dromljebú''' |- | || ''Simple past'' |- | 1. sg. || '''amaj''' || '''taký''' || '''rjeszi''' || '''dromí''' |- | 2. || '''amajsti''' || '''takysti''' || '''rjeszesti''' || '''dromísti''' |- | 3. || '''amaj''' || '''taký''' || '''rjész''' || '''dromí''' |- | 1. pl. || '''amajm''' || '''takým''' || '''rjeszem''' || '''dromím''' |- | 2. || '''amajszt''' || '''takýszt''' || '''rjeszeszt''' || '''dromíszt''' |- | 3. || '''amajerú''' || '''takyjerú''' || '''rjeszerú''' || '''dromijerú''' |} === The subjunctive === TO BE ADDED = Conjunctions = To be added = Interjections = To be added = Syntax = To be added BPJ 13:06, 27 Jul 2005 (PDT) [[Category:Slevan]] Maerik 1182 46828 2009-07-02T12:55:06Z Melroch 31 /* Possible identity of the Mærik speakers */ [[Image:Incipitmaerik.gif|Hic incipit lingua mærik]] "Here begins the Mærik language" -- the Latin caption to the Mærik vocabulary in the manuscript. = Mærik sections = *[[Maerik grammar|Mærik grammar]] *[[Maerik-English vocabulary|Mærik-English vocabulary]] *[[English-Maerik vocabulary|English-Mærik vocabulary]] *[[Maerik texts|Mærik texts]] = About Mærik and its transmission = One of the most valuable and unique, but also one of the least known manuscripts in the collections of the Swedish Royal Library is the so-called Buræan Glossary. Of its seventy-eight leaves scholars have generally been interested only in the first thirty leaves and the recto page of the thirty-first. These consist of a topically arranged list of Latin words with their Old Swedish translations. At the top of the verso side of leaf 31 stand the Latin words ''Hic jncipit lingua mærik'' and there follows a seemingly random list of words with Latin translations. The problem with this second word list is that only the Latin words have appeared intelligible. Werner Schiöld, the only scholar who hitherto paid any attention to the latter 125 pages was of the opinion that these pages were either copied by a scribe who didn't know Old Swedish, it was a secret code or a secret language. Schiöld was actually on the right track since he favored the secret language explanation, but he said that "an inspection of the Latin 'translations' [Schiöld's quotes] indicates that no new knowledge of Old Swedish vocabulary can be gained by cracking the code". Although Schiöld thus used the term "secret language" he nevertheless took for granted that the non-Latin words of the latter 125 pages, apart from some inter­spersed Old Swedish words, were some kind of obfuscation of the corre­sponding Old Swedish words "and probably a deliberate obfuscation, since even a scribe unfamiliar with Old Swedish would have got his transcriptions right most of the time". Schöld's foregone conclusion was thus that the text represented some kind of [[Wikipedia:Language game|language game]], similar to, but more complicated than, for example [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]]. A renewed inspection, especially of the syntax of the connected texts following the word-list and their Latin glosses, indicates that these strange words actually repre­sent a real language, distinct from both Latin and Old Swedish, even though the phonemic, or at any rate graphemic, shape of the language is deceptively similar to Old Swedish.

It is known from a wordlist with Latin glosses and some short fairy tales preserved in a single manuscript. The spelling relies quite heavily on that of Old [[Wikipedia:Swedish language|Swedish]] and the sound structure of Mærik also seems to strongly resemble that of Old Swedish, yet Mærik is ''not'' [[Wikipedia:Language family|genetically related]] to Old Swedish or other [[Wikipedia:Germanic languages|Germanic languages]]. Mærik words and sentences didn't make sense to somebody who only knew Old Swedish, and conversely Old Swedish would not have made sense to someone who only knew Mærik, although it is probable that all speakers of Mærik had also been speakers of North Scandinavian for very many generations. Although the [[Wikipedia:Phonetics|phonetic]] and [[Wikipedia:Phoneme|phonemic]] similarities indicate some kind of [[Wikipedia:Sprachbund|Sprachbund]] relationship between Mærik and Old Swedish, there are on the other hand few similarities in vocabulary or grammatic structure. ==The name of the language== ''' Mærik''' or '''mæriik''' is actually the genitive of the first person plural exlusive pronoun. Speakers of North Germanic mistook the phrase '''mærik skaw''' as parallelling their own '''dansk tunga'''. Probably they didn't grasp that there were ''two'' first person plural pronouns in '''Mærik Skaw'''. ==Phonology== Mærik phonology is very much similar to Old Swedish phonology, due to the Sprachbund relationship between the languages. ===Vowels=== {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" !Front unrounded||Front rounded||Back unrounded||||Back rounded |- |i||y|| ||u/v||w |- |e||ø|| || ||o |- |æ|| ||a|| || |} ====Quantity==== Doubled vowels almost certainly represent long vowels. The status of '''u''' and '''w''' relative each other is not clarified. Possibly there is a single /u/ which is spelled '''w''' when long. Against this speaks the nonce occurrence of a '''ww''' spelling in '''nwwtlo''' 'ludere'. The other possibility is that there is one /u/ written '''w''' and one /ʉ/ written '''u/v''', and that the spelling normally fails to mark quantity for these phonemes. It is also likely that stressed single-written vowels in open syllables are long as well. Long ''i'' /i:/ is usually spelled '''ij''' rather than '''ii'''. ====Diphthongs==== Some diphthongs seem to be spelled with an "extra" following vowel, probably because Old Swedish lacked diphthongs of this type: *'''browom''' phonologically /browm/, *'''brøwegha''' phonologically {{IPA|/brøwɣa/ or /brøjɣa/ [brøɥɣa]}}, *'''gawana''' phonologically {{IPA|/gawna/}}, *'''jæwelia''' phonologically {{IPA|/jæwlja/ [jæɥlʲa]}}, *'''øwæmn''' phonologically {{IPA|/øwm/ or /øjm/ [øɥm]}}, *'''hæwey''' may be a spelling for {{IPA|/hæw/ [hæɥ]}}, *'''trøyel''' is probably {{IPA|/trøjl/ or /trøwl/ [trøɥl]}}, *'''øywe''' is probably {{IPA|/øje/ or /øwe/ [øɥe]}}. *'''reyit''' is probably {{IPA|/rɛjt/}}. ====Umlaut==== There is i-umlaut caused by a following theme vowel '''*-i-''' which may be lost or preserved as '''-e-''', sometimes also spelled '''-i-'''. ===Consonants=== {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" !||Labial||Dental||(Palatal)||Velar||(Labiovelar)||Glottal |- |'''Voiceless stops'''||''p''||''t''||(''ki'' {{IPA|[kʲ]}})||''k''||(''qw'' {{IPA|[kʷ/kw]}})|| |- |'''Voiced stops'''||''b''||''d''||(''gi'' {{IPA|[gʲ]}})||''g''||(''gw'' {{IPA|[gʷ/gw]}})|| |- |'''Nasals'''||''m''||''n''||(''ni'' {{IPA|[nʲ]}})||(''ng'' {{IPA|[ŋ]}})||(''ngw'' {{IPA|[ŋʷ/ŋw]}})|| |- |'''Voiceless fricatives'''||''f''||(''th'' {{IPA|[θ, tθ]}})||(''hi'' {{IPA|[ç]}})||(''ch'' {{IPA|[x, kx]}})||(''hw'' {{IPA|[ʍ]}})||''h'' |- |'''Voiced fricatives'''||''v/u/ffu'' {{IPA|[v]}}||''dh'' {{IPA|[ð]}}||''i'' {{IPA|[j]}}||''gh'' {{IPA|[ɣ]}}||''w''|| |- |'''Sibilants'''|| ||''s''||(''si/ski'' {{IPA|[sʲ/ʃ]}})|||||| |- |'''Lateral'''|| ||''l''|||||||| |- |'''Trill'''|| ||''r''|||||||| |} The letter '''z''' spells {{IPA|/ts/}} arising from underlying {{IPA|//ts//, //ds// or //ðs//}}, and similarly '''x''' spells {{IPA|/ks/}} arising from underlying {{IPA|//ks//, //gs// or //ɣs//}}. It is not clear whether all these spellings represent distinct phonemes or whether they do so in all positions. ===Unresolved issues in the phonology=== The status of palatal(ized) and labiovelar sounds as phonemes or clusters also remains to be determined. Contemporary Old Swedish was in the process of developing palatal phonemes through palatalization of clusters ending in {{IPA|/j/}} and of velars before front vowels. In contemporary Old Swedish {{IPA|/sj/}} and {{IPA|/sk/}} before {{IPA|/j/}} and front vowels were probably in the process of developing into {{IPA|/ʃ/}}. If the same was true of Mærik cannot be determined. The nonce appearance of '''sch''' in '''schee''' 'adferre' is hardly decisive. The status of {{IPA|/w/ vs /v/}} is also to be determined. The many cases of '''w''' between vowels as opposed to '''ffu''' between vowels (e.g. '''priffua''' 'consolare') suggest that {{IPA|/w/}} was indeed a separate phoneme and more widespread than the [w] of Old Swedish. It is therefore assumed that '''w''' is {{IPA|/w/}} while initial '''v''' before vowels and '''ffu''' between vowels is {{IPA|/v/}}. There are even two occurrences of ''initial'' '''ffu''' before vowels, viz. '''fuaa''' 'wash clothes' and '''ffuea''' 'clear land'. At the same time inherited {{IPA|/kʷ/ and /gʷ/}} were probably not monophonemic any more in Old Swedish, while {{IPA|[w]}} had become an allophone of {{IPA|/v/}}. As {{IPA|/w/}} was probably still a phoneme in Mærik it may be that '''qw''' and '''gw''' in spite of their low frequency should be analyzed similarly. ===Sandhi allophones=== The phonemic status of '''th ''' and '''ch ''' is not fully determined. It seems as if '''th ''' between voiced sounds, or word finally after a voiced sound, always represents underlying phonemic {{IPA|/tð/}} and phonetically is {{IPA|[tθ]}}, and likewise '''ch''' between voiced sounds, or word finally after a voiced sound, represents phonemic {{IPA|/kɣ/}} and phonetic {{IPA|[kx]}}. Thus in Mærik {{IPA|[x] and [θ]}} only occur as assimilation of {{IPA|/ɣ/ or /ð/}} to a neighboring voiceless [[Wikipedia:obstruent|obstruent]]. On the other hand underlying {{IPA|//ðð// {and //ɣɣ//}} surface as {{IPA|/dd/ and /gg/}}, while '''ffu''' probably spells ''ungeminated'' voiced {{IPA|/v/}} in complementary distribution with geminated voiceless {{IPA|/ff/}} as in Old Swedish. ==Morphology== ===Nouns and Adjectives=== Case endings are as follows: {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" !||Modern name||Marker||English translation||Name in the manuscript |- |1||Nominative/Vocative:||'''-0''' (zero)||(subject) ||''nominativus vel vocativus'' |- |2||Accusative:||'''-dh'''||(direct object)||''accusativus'' |- |3||Dative:||'''-s'''||'for'||''dativus'' |- |4||Genitive:||'''-k'''||'of'||''genitivus'' |- |5||Ablative:||'''-r'''||'from'/'out of'||''ablativus'' |- |6||Instrumental:||'''-gh'''||'with'||''ablativus instrumenti vel comitativus'' |- |7||Locative:||'''-m'''||'at'/'in'||''ablativus loci'' |- |8||Allative:||'''-i'''||'to'/'into'||''accusativus adeundi'' |} The nominative marks the subject of the sentence. The accusative marks the direct object. Between these endings and the stem a theme vowel '''-e-''' or '''-o-''', sometimes appears. Variant spellings are '''-i-''' and '''-u/w-''' respectively. With the allative the front alternant is '''-ei/-ij/-i''' and the back alternant '''-oi/-ui/-wj'''. ====Suffixaufnahme==== Mærik has [[Wikipedia:Suffixaufnahme|Suffixaufnahme]] or "case stacking", i.e. a noun carrying a genitive ending may take a further grammatical or local case ending, e.g. '''dølk''' 'the farmer's', '''dølks''' or '''dølx''' 'for the farmer's' (dative of genitive). The usual sandhi phenomena apply, such as ablative '''dølkær''' 'from the farmer's', accusative '''dølkth'''. Special note should be taken of the frequent instrumental genitives in '''-ch''', which suggest {{IPA|[kx]}} as a sandhi allophone for {{IPA|/kɣ/}}: '''dølch''' 'by the farmer's', '''hathfach''' {{IPA|[haθfakx] /haðfakɣ/}} 'by the horse's'. ====Plural==== The plural morpheme is '''-n'''. It appears written most often as '''-in''' and '''-un''' respectively, more rarely '''-en''' or '''-on/-wn'''. To these plural terminations the same case endings as in the singular are added as follows: {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" |1||Nominative: || '''-n''' |- |2||Accusative: || '''-nd''' |- |3||Dative: || '''-ns/-nz''' |- |4||Genitive: || '''-nk''' |- |5||Ablative: || '''-nnær''' |- |6||Instrumental: || '''-ng''' |- |7||Locative: || '''-num''' |- |8||Allative: || '''-ni''' |} Note that in combining with the plural marker '''-n-''' the endings undergo some sandhi changes: the accusative '''-dh''' and the instrumental '''-gh''' become voiced stops. The dative has an optional epenthetic [t] (/nts/ written '''-nz''') and the ablative and locative receive [[Wikipedia:Svarabhakti|svarabhakti vowels]]. It is not clear whether the spelling '''-ni''' in the allative plural represents {{IPA|/ni/ or /nj/}}, since the spelling is deficient. In ''Suffixaufnahme'' where the second ending takes the plural an [[Wikipedia:Epenthesis|epenthetic]] '''a''' vowel is inserted, e.g. '''vantkanz skonz''' 'for the men of the village'. ====Adjectives==== Adjectives inflect for case and number in congruence with their nouns, e.g. '''verghar trækker''' "From a big house", '''hughand skond''' "poor men (acc.)". Sometimes the same word functions as an adjective and as a noun for the quality denoted by the adjective. ===Adverbs=== Most derived adverbs and some primary end in '''-m''' (with theme vowel). This formant is observed to coincide with the locative ending - probably not a coincidence! ===Pronouns=== Pronouns generally take adjectival inflection, i.e. with the plural ending '''-an''' ====Personal pronouns==== There are distinct inclusive and exclusive forms in first person plural. '''wæll: ''' 'me - I' '''wællk: ''' 'my/ mine' '''ton: ''' 'you sg. (thou)' '''tonk: ''' 'your(s) (thy/thine)' '''ro: ''' 'he' '''rook: ''' 'his' '''ni: ''' 'she' '''niik: ''' 'her(s)' '''edd:''' 'it' '''ettk/etk:''' 'its' '''foott: ''' 'we incl.' ('I and you' or 'we and you') '''foottuk: ''' 'our(s) incl.' ('Mine and yours' or 'Ours and yours') '''mær: ''' 'we excl.' (We but not you) '''mærik: ''' 'our(s) excl.' (Ours but not yours) '''han: ''' 'you pl.' '''hank: ''' 'your(s) pl.' '''se: ''' 'they' '''seek: ''' 'their(s)' ====Demonstrative pronouns==== '''ordh: ''' 'this', pl. '''ordhan''' 'these' (Lat. ''hic'') '''ann: ''' that (nearby)' pl. '''annan''' 'those' (Lat. ''iste'') '''edd: ''' 'that (far)' pl. '''eddan''' 'those' (Lat. ''ille'') ===== The enclitic demonstrative pronoun/definite article ===== The demonstrative pronouns are often enclitically postposed to a noun, in which case their meaning is similar to a definite article. Both the noun and the "article" inflect for case. {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" |+ ''The enclitic demonstratives/article demonstrated on the noun ''luk'' 'child' '' | || '''-ordh''' || '''-ann''' || '''-edd''' |- | ''Singular'' |- | ''Nom.:'' || '''lukordh''' || '''lukan''' || '''luked''' || 'the child' (subject) |- | ''Acc.:'' || '''lukthord''' || '''lukthand''' || '''lukthed''' || 'the child' (direct object) |- | ''Dat.:'' || '''luxorz''' || '''luxanz''' || '''luxez''' || 'for the child' |- | ''Gen.:'' || '''lukkorthk''' || '''lukkank''' || '''lukketk''' || 'of the child' |- | ''Abl.:'' || '''lukrordhær''' || '''lukrannær''' || '''lukreddær''' || 'from the child' |- | ''Instr.:'' || '''luchordhgh''' || '''luchang''' || '''luchedg''' || 'with the child' |- | ''Loc.:'' || '''lukmordhum''' || '''lukmannum''' || '''lukmeddum''' || 'at/in the child' |- | ''All.:'' || '''lukiørdhi''' || '''lukiænni''' || '''lukieddi''' || 'to/into the child' |- | ''Plural'' |- | ''Nom.:'' || '''lukunordhan''' || '''lukunan''' || '''lukuneddan''' || 'the children' (subject) |- | ''Acc.:'' || '''lukundordhan''' || '''lukundand''' || '''lukundeddan''' || 'the children' (direct object) |- | ''Dat.:'' || '''lukunzordhanz''' || '''lukunzanz''' || '''lukunzeddanz''' || 'for the children' |- | ''Gen.:'' || '''lukankordhank''' || '''lukunkank''' || '''lukunketank''' || 'of the children' |- | ''Abl.:'' || '''lukunærordhanær''' || '''lukunærannær''' || '''lukunæreddanær''' || 'from the children' |- | ''Instr.:'' || '''lukungordhang''' || '''lukungang''' || '''lukungeddang''' || 'with the children' |- | ''Loc.:'' || '''lukumordhanum''' || '''lukumannum''' || '''lukumeddanum''' || 'at/in the children' |- | ''All.:'' || '''lukuniørdhani''' || '''lukuniænni''' || '''lukunieddani''' || 'to/into the children' |} Note the frequent [[Wikipedia:Haplology|haplology]] in the plural of the '''-ann''' forms! In practice it means that the plural marker of the '''-ann''' article disappears entirely, so that only the noun carries plural marking. The locative plural is especially treacherous. It should be observed that the '''-ann''' forms are often used where the context would properly call for the '''-ordh''' or '''-edd''' forms. Where an adjective precedes the noun the preposed demonstrative is used: '''edd grøtth lukth''' 'that small child (acc.)'. ====Interrogative pronouns==== '''fiørn: ''' 'who?' pl. '''fiørnan''' '''fann: ''' 'what?' pl. '''fannan''' '''fwnn: ''' 'how much?' pl. '''fwnnan''' 'how many?' '''følk: ''' 'which?' pl. '''følkian''' '''faat: ''' 'when?' '''fedd: ''' 'where?' '''fwdh: ''' 'why?' ====Relative pronouns==== '''iørn: ''' 'who' pl. '''iørnan''' '''øll: ''' 'which' pl. '''øllian''' '''aat: '''when '''wdh: '''therefore ====Other pronouns==== '''vek: ''' 'self' (reflexive -- note genitive '''veck''' and dative '''vex'''!) :pl. '''vekan''' 'selves' '''hyyn: ''' 'each other' (pl.) '''dødhzsk: ''' 'respectively' (formally a genitive singular) '''sakt: ''' 'something, a thing' pl. '''saktan''' '''gøm: ''' 'you, one, they (indefinite)' pl. '''gømian''' '''siæn: ''' 'any' pl. '''siænan''' '''hwalt: ''' 'same' ===Verbs=== The present ends in '''-e/-o/-a''', probably derived from earlier long theme vowels ''*-ē, *-ō, *-ā''. In not a few verbs the present marker contains a '''t''' (''*-tē, *-tō, *-tā''), most notably '''olto''' 'there is' and '''ganta''' 'not be'. Sometimes an intrusive '''-p-''' comes between the '''-t-''' present formant and a root ending in '''-m''' e.g. '''rampta''' 'know a person', with the past tense '''ramma'''. The infinitive or gerund, the imperative and the supine all consist in the bare stem, and can be distinguished only by their function, except that the infinitive/gerund can be inflected like a noun and the imperative often but not always is followed by a pronoun in the nominative/vocative. The past tense formant is '''-ma/-mo'''. Where there is a '''-t-''' in the present tense formant this '''-t-''' disappears in the past tense: thus from the present '''olto''' there is the past '''olmo''', and from the present '''kræfte''' 'departs' there is the past '''kraffma''' (Note also the lack of i-umlaut in the past tense!). N.B. '''gamma''', the past of '''ganta''' (usually spelled '''gam̄a'''), and '''swmmo''' (also '''sunmo''') 'covered' from '''swnto'''. However sometimes the '''-t-''' is part of the root, e.g. '''lita''' 'hear', p.t. '''lijtma'''. The subjunctive formant is '''-sa/-so'''. These two are fused as '''-sma/-smo''' in past subjunctive. Note that the subjunctive marker '''s''' goes after the present tense marker '''t''' if that is present, e.g. '''kræftza''' 'would depart', but before the past tense marker '''ma''', as in '''kræfsma''' 'would have departed'. ====Person inflection on verbs==== {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" |''Singular'' |- | 1. || '''-wl/-wVl/-l''' ('''-aw(a)l/-ew(e)l/-ol''')|| 'I' |- | 2. || '''-ck''' || 'you'(sg.), 'thou' |- | 3. || -∅ (zero) |- |''Plural'' |- | 1. excl. || '''-ff''' || 'we' |- | 1. incl. || '''-rr''' || 'you and I', 'we and you' |- | 2. || '''-n''' || 'you'(pl.) |- |3. || '''-ss''' || 'they' |} ====Participles==== There are active participles in '''-rt''' and passive participles in '''-t''' from both the present and past stems: {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" | Present active: || '''lekart''' || "speaking" |- | Present passive: || '''lekat''' || "being spoken" |- | Past active: || '''leekmart''' || "been speaking" |- | Past passive: || '''leekmat''' || "spoken" |} =====Compound tenses===== There are some compound tenses and moods using participles. The most important is the passive formed with '''fere''' 'be' and the present passive participle: '''Ferewæl lekat''' 'I am spoken'. There is also a perfect and a pluperfect using '''fere''' and the past active participle: '''Ferewæl leekmart''' 'I have spoken', '''Fermawal leekmart''' 'I had spoken'. Lastly there is a future using '''boko''' 'become' and the present active participle: '''Bokwol lekart''' 'I will/shall/am going to speak'. These compound tenses are not used nearly as often as the corresponding forms in English and other modern Germanic languages. Thus the simple present is usually found for future reference and the simple past for perfect and pluperfect reference. ====Negation==== Negation is made with the verb '''ganta''' 'there is not' + stem form of the verb + instrumental of agent: '''ganta lek mærikth skawdh niigh''' 'she doesn't speak our language' (lit. 'there is not speak our language by her'). {| border=0 cellspacing=5 !gan||-ta||-0||lek||-0||mæri||-k||-th||skaw||-dh||nii||-gh |- |not.be||-PRES||-3.sg.||speak||-SUP||we.exclusive||-GEN||-ACC||tongue||-ACC||she||-INSTR |} Since the object stands in accusative this is not a true ergative, but may be indicative of transition between types. ==Syntax== The main constituent order is VSO. Mærik is a ''[[Wikipedia:Pro-drop_language|pro-drop language]]''. As Mærik is concerned this means that subject pronouns in the nominative are normally left out since the subject is sufficiently expressed by the person ending on the verb, but object pronouns have to be expressed since the object is not expressed in the verb. There are many idioms involving in particular the locative and the dative where other languages would use nominative or accusative. Verbs of perception and experiencing take the experiencer in the dative. The genitive can be used in partitive function. Many adverbs are formally locatives of nouns or adjectives and constructed accordingly.

I'll be filling it out intermittently. __TOC__ == Questions of Place == === Describe the geography of where your society calls home. === Sohldar, the land of the Sohlshan, is located around the great lake known as the White Sohl, its tributary rivers Helender and Yahandar, and the river Linender which drains the White Sohl into the ocean, known as the Black Sohl. The Helender has its source in the Kejbrispeng mountains to the north, near the city of Kidil or Tidil. Between the Kejbrispeng mountains and the White Sohl lies the Doskoh or Green Plain, which is the main area of agriculture and settlement in Sohldar. Where the Helender flows into the White Sohl lies Sohlel, the greatest of the three cities of Sohldar. To the east lies Frohkehl, a desert plateau. West of the White Sohl the Linender river first flows through a rocky landscape before it reaches the coastal plain Xozdarkoh and empties itself into the Black Sohl under the walls of the city of Linel. === Describe the climate your society deals with. How severe are their seasons?=== The climate is rather hot and dry, although there is a cooler, rainy season when the Helender flows over and the Yahandar, which is dry at the height of the hot season, runs full with water. Most of the rainfall is over the Kejbrispeng, and the water is then relayed to the Doskoh by the Helender. It is the precipitation over the Kejbrispeng and the Frohkehl, transported to the White Sohl by the rivers, which makes the region, which would otherwise be a desert, amenable to agriculture (similar to ancient Egypt in our world). The Xozdarkoh plain along the coast the soil is less fertile, so that the Lindeshan import their grain from the Doskoh area, but they keep their own sheep and cattle and have an important fishing economy. === What kinds of natural disasters has this society gotten used to?=== Mostly earthquakes and the Helender river occasionally changing its course. The bedrock of Sohldar is of volcanic origin, but there were no active volcanoes in recorded history. === What are the most commonly-grown foods?=== Grain, vegetables and fruit. === What are the most commonly-eaten meats?=== Mutton and fowl. Fish along the coast. === What foods are considered exotic or expensive?=== Beef. The higher up in society you are, the more beef you eat, while at the bottom of society you usually eat none at all. === What forms of alcohol are common? Rare?=== Wine and beer are common. Wine is rare among the lower classes. Distilled spirits are unknown. === Is there usually enough food and water for the population?=== Yes. === What is this place's most abundant resource?=== Grain, vegetables, fruit, sheep (and thus wool), linen. === What is its most valuable resource?=== Diamonds. They are exported to foreign sea-faring peoples at Linel. === What resource is it most lacking?=== === How do people travel from one place to another?=== On foot, horseback or horse-drawn carriages. Ox-carts are not unknown but usually not used for person transports. === Are the borders secure? In what way?=== Semi-secure, in that the land is surrounded by mountains, ocean and desert. The Sohlshan themselves invaded from the north at the beginning of recorded history, and there has been one notable later invasion. === How many people live here?=== Betweeen one and two million. === Where in this place to they congregate?=== The cities; mainly Sohlel. === What part of this place do they avoid? Why?=== The uninhabited area between the central plain and the coastal plain. It is haunted by outlaws and wild beasts. === What are the most common domesticated animals here? And what are they domesticated for?=== Sheep, used for food, clothing and leather. Goats, used for milk and leather. Fowl, used for eggs and food. Cows used for milk, food and leather. Dogs, used for guarding and herding. Cats, used for mousing. Horses used for transportation and racing. === What are the most common wild animals?=== Several wild bests are mentioned in the literature. Lions were both feared and admired. === Which animals are likely to be pets? Which ones won't be?=== Cats and dogs and the occasional lamb. Some upper-class people keep singing birds. It would be odd to keep e.g. snakes as pets. ==Questions of Time== ===How far back does this society's written history go?=== Maybe two thousand years. ===How far back do its people believe it goes?=== Since creation. ===What is the worst disaster they believe they've faced?=== A year-long solar eclipse in mythological history. The Invasion. ===What was the best thing that every happened to them?=== Finding the land. ===What in their past makes them feel ashamed?=== Not being able to repel the Invaders. ===What in their past makes them proud?=== Founding the Empire and establishing peace among the Sohlshan. ===What are they afraid of happening again?=== An invasion ===What are they hoping will happen? Do they think it likely?=== N/A ===What do they assume the future will hold?=== The present state of affairs continuing forever. ===How has this society changed? Do its current members realize this?=== From a pastoral society to an agriculturall society to a semi-urbanized society. Class distinctions and differences in wealth have increased in the process. The current members are not aware of this; they think the current state of affairs has applied since shortly after creation. ===What are the most popular stories about the past?=== About the gods, spirits and heroes between creation and the founding of the Empire. ===Who in the past is the greatest hero? The worst villain?=== The king who founded the Empire is the greatest hero. ===Do people think the present better or worse than the past?=== Worse. ===Do people believe the future will be better or worse than the present or past?=== This is a matter of debate. Theologians are divided between Optimists and Pessimists. Many nobles are concerned how a future invasion may be prevented or repelled. There is a practical problem in having a standing army that usually has nothing to do. == Questions of Sex and Family == ===How many spouses may a man or woman have?=== A man may have as many spouses or lovers as he can afford, while a woman may have only one husband. Ruling queens have been known to flout the rule on women not having many lovers. Commoners usually have only one wife, and only the highest nobles or riches citizens have more than one. ===Who decides on a marriage?=== People usually marry between the ages of 15 and 20, and then their parents decide, although the wishes of the spouses-to-be are usually listened to among the lower classes. A man over the age of 25 may decide on his own marriages, and so may in practice a widow over that age. A marriage is more of a legal contract than of a religious matter, although sex and especially child-bearing have religious overtones. When a marriage is arranged a bride-price is usually payed by the groom or his family. ===Can a marriage end in divorce? How?=== A man may freely divorce a wife, although he has to see a lawyer about it. In theory the husband should return the bride-price, though the actual sum may be smaller, due to stipulations in the marriage contract, or if the wife is keen on getting divorced. A woman usually has to seek divorce through her close male relatives, although cases where a grown woman has gone to court to seek divorce due to physical maltreatment by the husband are not unheard of. ===Who usually takes custody of children if a marriage ends for some reason?=== Usually the father takes custody, though the opposite is not unheard of, in which case it is regulated by the divorce contract. In practice if a wife has born only daughters a father may be keen on getting rid of them along with the mother. ===How is adultery defined? What (if any) is the punishment? Who decides?=== Adultery is defined as a married woman having sex with someone else than her husband. Men may have lovers, though excessive and protracted neglect of a wife is seen as proper reason for a woman to seek divorce through her brothers. A husband may divorce an adulterous wife, in which case any yet unborn children come under her custody. A husband may bring a wife's lover to court and have him fined and/or flogged. ===How are families named?=== Only very noble families have actual family names. ===What happens to orphans?=== They should be taken care of by their father's family. Sometimes it is the mother's family instead, if they have a higher social status, or if they are more willing. ===How are boy and girl children treated differently?=== ===Are premarital relations allowed?=== In theory they are allowed for men but not for women. There are prostitutes, and in practice nobody exercises any control over widows or divorcées -- even comparatively young ones. ===How does your society define incest? Rape? How do people react to these?=== Incest is sex between close relatives, including inlaws. Cousin marriges occur among high nobles and royals, but are frowned upon. Rape is the taking of someone by violence, and is punishable. Rape of a virgin may even be punished by death, though that would require that she is noble and the rapist is not. Rape within marriage is another matter, though it is generally frowned upon and is seen as just cause for divorce. There may be a problem of proving it if the matter is taken to court. Paedophilia is punishable but nobles get away with it; among commoners the perpetrator will get beaten up sooner or later. ===What, if anything, is considered a good marriage gift?=== Money, precious metals or stones, cattle, land or goods, all depending on the status of the involved families. When a widow or divorcée remarries the marriage gift may be wholly symbolic, like a ring. ===What secret vice is believed to be widely practiced?=== Homosexuality among the nobles. Bestiality with sheep among country boys. It is believed that young wives and concubines of older men have sex with each other or servant girls. ===What secret vice actually is practiced?=== Homosexuality. Bestiality occurs but is not as common as is supposed. As for the young wives and concubines lesbianism is probably not as common as supposed. In practice young wives of rich older men often have male lovers. ===What sexual habits are widely believed common among foriegners?=== Sodomy with women and bestiality. ===How do people react to homosexuality?=== It is frowned upon but not punishable. It is more accepted, and supposedly more common, among nobles. ===How do the genders dress?=== The common dress is squares of fabric wrapped around the body and held in place by belts and brooches. Women's dress is longer than men's. City women and noble women would normally not expose their breasts, although peasant women may do so in certain contexts. ===Is prostitution legal? How are prostitutes viewed? Is this accurate?=== Female prostitution is legal but frowned upon. ===What professions or activities are considered masculine?=== Being a warrior and being a miner are the only male-only professions. ===What professions or activities are viewed as feminine?=== Looking after children and the household. ===What inanimate or sexless things are considered male or female?=== This is an area that needs more research. The Sun is considered male and the Moon female, but they are also considered animate. ===What is the biggest sexual taboo?=== Mother-son incest. It leads to both mother and son being executed, whereas father-daughter incest would normally only lead to the father being executed. Father-son incest would probably be very taboo, but it is not even thought of. ===Does this society connect the ideas of marriage with love?=== In theory, but it is only in the lower classes that marriage is actually based on love. ===What does this society mean by the word "virgin" and how important it it?=== It means an unpenetrated female, and it is very important at a woman's first marriage. == Questions of Manners == ===Who speaks first at a formal gathering?=== The most noble, eldest and most influential person, which qualities should ideally coincide. ===What kinds of gifts are considered in extremely bad taste?=== ===How do younger adults address their elders?=== With honorific terms.

And when?=== Necklaces, rings, chains fingerrings and earrings of precious metals, sometimes with precious stones. They are worn all the time but more at joyous ceremonies and festivities. Women are expected to were more jewelry than men, and nobles more than commoners. Brooches are used to pin clothes together, and are usually of precious material among nobles. Noble women often were jewelled head-dress, as do kings. ===Who inheirits property? Titles? Position?=== Sons, or in their absence brothers or brother's sons or unmarried/divorced daughters inherit property. It is usual for a wife to remain in possession of her husbands property until she dies. Titles and positions are in theory all bestowed rather than inherited, though ones basic social status as noble or common is inherited from the father at birth. In those rare cases where a noble woman has married a common man the children are considered noble; normally the man will have been ennobeled by the king before the marriage. ===What happens to those suffering from extreme mental illness?=== They will be looked after by their relatives. If they have no relatives who are able to look after them they become beggars. ===What are the most popular games?

The only organized sports are chariot-racing and wrestling, which are very popular. ===What parts of the body are routinely covered?=== The genitals, the backside, and among noble women or women otherwise concerned about their virtue the breasts. Adult peasant women routinely go with their breasts bare while working in the fields or while feeding their babies. ===How private are bodily functions like bathing or defecating?=== Defecating and urinating are private. Men may urinate rather more openly than women. Bathing is not considered private, though most women wouldn't, unlike men or children, bathe entirely naked. ===How do people react to physical deformity?=== It depends on the nature of the deformity. ===When and how does someone go from child to adult?=== Usually between age fifteen and age twenty, by marrying. Philosophers however argue that a person is fully mature only at age twenty-five. This is also the age when a priest is considered fully qualified to perform rites. == Questions of Faith == ===Is there a formal clergy? How are they organized?=== Yes there is. They are organized into different ranks based on experience and seniority. ===What do people believe happens to them after death? How, if at all, can they influence this?=== The Sohlshan believe in rebirt. They believe that if the body isn't cremated after death rebirth will not happen untill the body has decomposed. Most religiously uneducated people believe that they will be reborn as people, but with their social position determined by their actions in this life. There are speculations about rebirth as higher or lower beings among certain clergy and certain sects. ===What happens to those who disagree with the majority on questions of religion?=== They are frowned upon but left alone as long as they do not protest against the religious habits of the majority. ===Are there any particular places considered special or holy?

This means standardized text chunks (such as [[Wikipedia:Template messages|boilerplate]] text) can be inserted into articles. For example, typing <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> will appear as: {{stub}} === List of all templates on this wiki === Some of them are documented through <code><nowiki><noinclude>...</noinclude></nowiki></code> tags, some in their talk pages, but most not at all. If you know what an undocumented template does, please add documentation in your spare time! {{-)}} <DPL> namespace = Template </DPL> ===Instructions=== To create a new user message, you need to make an article under the name '''Template:TEMPLATENAME'''. Messages can be used in two ways: <nowiki>{{subst:TEMPLATENAME}} and {{TEMPLATENAME}}</nowiki>. <tt>subst</tt> copies the user message into the text of the article you are working on. Without <tt>subst</tt> the text of the user message is retrieved from the template space each time the article is opened. <nowiki>{{msg:TEMPLATENAME}} does the same thing as {{TEMPLATENAME}}</nowiki>. If you create a new user message, please keep the list below updated. == General-use templates == === ABC === This [[Template:ABC]] replaces the table of contents with links to the headings of an alphabetized list such as a vocabulary. To insert it type <nowiki>{{subst:ABC}} </nowiki> at the top of the edit window and save the page, then create headings named <pre> == A == == B == == C == </pre> etc. <center> [[#A|A]] - [[#B|B]] - [[#C|C]] - [[#D|D]] - [[#E|E]] - [[#F|F]] - [[#G|G]] - [[#H|H]] - [[#I|I]] - [[#J|J]] - [[#K|K]] - [[#L|L]] - [[#M|M]] - [[#N|N]] - [[#O|O]] - [[#P|P]] - [[#Q|Q]] - [[#R|R]] - [[#S|S]] - [[#T|T]] - [[#U|U]] - [[#V|V]] - [[#W|W]] - [[#X|X]] - [[#Y|Y]] - [[#Z|Z]] </center> There's also [[Template:widetoc]] which does similar. === Work in progress === To show that a page is under construction, under revision or otherwise incomplete you can type <nowiki>{{Workinprogress}}</nowiki> at the top of of the page and it will appear as the following boilerplate: {{Workinprogress}} Equivalent code is <nowiki>{{WIP}} or {{Wip}} or {{wip}}</nowiki>. ===See also=== This [[Template:Seealso|template]], using this code: :::''<nowiki>{{Seealso|this}}</nowiki>'' will insert the following text: {{Seealso|this}} === User page template === This [[Template:Userpage]] is a ripoff of [[User:Chlewey]]'s elegant user page. You can use it as a help to create your own user page. To include it in your own page type <nowiki>{{subst:Userpage}}</nowiki> into your edit window, then save your page, then open your edit window again and edit the table that now appears. Replace the text in UPPERCASE with information relevant to yourself. ===Disambiguation=== If ever you find the need for a disambiguation page, [[User:Denihilonihil|Eugene]] has copied the Wikipedia <nowiki>{{disambig}}</nowiki> template over to Frath, including the image. == Language templates == ===Language summary=== This [[Template:Language|template]] was designed by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg]] as a base for your language descriptions. It contains a box in the upper right corner with basic language data (location, timeline/universe, number of speakers, genealogical classification) modelled after the similar boxes found in Wikipedia language articles. To include it in your page, type <nowiki>{{subst:Language}}</nowiki> into your edit window, then save your page, then open the edit window again and edit the table that now appears. I suggest for a posteriori conlangs to use the colour of the family used in the Wikipedia. For your own families, choose a colour that suits you. ===Language summary II=== An [[Template:Infobox|alternative template]] was designed by [[User:Denihilonihil|Eugene]] for more comprehensive language summarising (what an oxymoron, truth be told), including linguistic typology. It also uses a light grey background and smaller text than Jörg's template. To use this template, use the follwing code: <div style="text-align: center;">''<nowiki>{{Infobox|name=|pronounce=|tu=|species=|in=|no=|script=|tree=|morph=|ms=|wo=|creator=|date=}}</nowiki>''</div> Open the link above to find out what each parameter stands for. ===Phonology=== For a simple table to use to describe your language's phonology, try [[Template:Consonants|this template]] for consonants and [[Template:Vowels|this one]] for vowels, by using ''<nowiki>{{subst:Consonants}}</nowiki>'' or ''<nowiki>{{subst:Vowels}}</nowiki>'' in your language's page, saving the page, and editing the table that appears afterwards. The above templates are designed with spaces for the most common sounds of natural languages and the symbols thereof pre-included. As the templates are meant to be inserted by means of a ''subst:'' command line, users are free to add necessary spaces or delete extraneous ones according to their needs. === Swadesh template === This template, adapted from the [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Swadesh template|Wiktionary:Swadesh template]] can be used to demonstrate the vocabulary of a conlang. It can be seen [[Template:Swadesh|here]]. To include it in your own page type <nowiki>{{subst:Swadesh}}</nowiki> into your edit window, then save your page, then open your edit window again and edit the table that now appears. === IPA transcription === The [[Template:IPA|IPA Template]] can be used to select fonts for displaying special characters correctly in Internet Explorer. It will also display a tooltip saying "IPA transcription". See [[Template talk:IPA]] for usage instructions. ===Transliteration=== Meant for the more elaborate language designers, [[Template:Translit|this template]] alerts readers to the existence of more than one transliteration system in the article, which may be due to, depending on the article and its subject, conworld political reasons, conlang etymological reasons etc. Made by [[User:Denihilonihil|Eugene]]. ==Conworld templates== [[User:Denihilonihil|Eugene]] has designed a [[Template:Succession box|template]] that allows easy referencing between empires on a territory, dynasties of an empire, rulers of a dynasty, reign names of a ruler etc. Designed to be placed at the bottom of the page, although the top will do just fine as well. == Dr. Zahar’s Ethnographical Questionnaire == '''[[Dr. Zahar’s Ethnographical Questionnaire]]''' was compiled by David Zahir to help in the description of [[conculture]]s, and was placed by him in the files section of the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture/ Conculture group at Yahoo], and adapted for the wiki by [[User:Melroch|BPJ]]. Template:Swadesh 1190 45940 2009-06-11T19:05:37Z Tropylium 756 delinking entries - what is this, wikipedia? This template shows the number and English for each word on the [[Swadesh List]]. Because of width limitations only a small number of languages can be shown on a single page. This template can be used as a basis for illustrating further languages. PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE.

Sohlob 1192 51402 2010-01-08T19:16:26Z Melroch 31 Sohlodar -> Sohldar, Sohloçan -> Sohlçan [[Sohlob]] is the name both of a [[wp:language family|language family]] and of one of [[Sohlob languages|the members of that family]], more properly called [[Classical Sohlob]]. The [[Sohlçan]] didn't make any systematic distinction between [[wp:Dialect#.22Dialect.22_or_.22language.22|language and dialect]] the way we do, mainly because most of the languages they dealt with were more or less obviously related; thus a situation similar to that of [[wp:Varieties of Chinese|'dialects' of Chinese]] in our world. == The Languages == * [[Sohlob sound system|Sound system]] ** [[Sohlob Latinization|Latinization]] ** [[Sohlob writing|Writing]] ** [[Sohlob historical phonology|Historical phonology]] * [[Sohlob languages|The languages]] ** [[Kijeb|Kijeb]] the Ancient Language **:Not quite the proto-language, but really archaic [[Kidilib]]! *** [[Kijeb writing]] ***[[Kijeb texts]] ** [[Kidilib (Sohlob)|Kidilib]], the Language of the Ancient City *** [[Old Kidilib (Sohlob)|Old Kidilib]] **** [[Old Kidilib script (Sohlob)|Old Kidilib script]] ** [[Classical Sohlob|Classical Sohlob]], the language of books and of ceremony ** [[Heleb (City Sohlob)|Heleb]], the 'City language' ** [[Nandrab (River Sohlob)|Nandrab]], the Language of the River Valley ** [[Yahab (Southern Sohlob)|Yahab]], the Language of the South ** [[Linjeb (Western Sohlob)|Linjeb]], the Language of the West * [[:Category:Sohlob writing|Writing]] ** [[Kijeb writing (Sohlob)|Kijeb writing]] **: A syllabary characterised by phonological underspecification. ** [[Old Kidilib script (Sohlob)|Old Kidilib script]] **: A younger version of the Kijeb syllabary. ** [[Sohlob alphabet]] **: The alphabet used to write the younger [[Sohlob languages|Sohlob languages]].

Voiced stops and fricatives are devoiced word-finally before a voiceless sound and utterance-finally. '''f''' is {{IPA|[v]}} word-internally between voiced sounds. '''c''' is {{IPA|[tɕʰ]}}. Alternative transcriptions are <tt>tj</tt> and '''ch'''. '''j''' is {{IPA|[dʑ] or [ʑ]}}. Alternative transcriptions are <tt>dj</tt> and <tt>zj</tt>. The {{IPA|[ʑ]}} <tt>zj</tt> variant occurs mainly before '''d'''. A ''j'' not preceded by any of the letters <tt>d, s, t,</tt> or <tt>z</tt> can only be {{IPA|/dʑ/}}, since in the ASCII transcription ''j'' is not used outside these digraphs. '''ç''' is {{IPA|[ɕ]}}. Alternative transcriptions are <tt>sj</tt> and '''sh'''. '''y''' is {{IPA|[j]}}, except in Linjeb where it is actually the vowel {{IPA|[y]}}! '''æ''' is (surprise ☺) {{IPA|[æ]}}. It may be written <tt>ae</tt> without confusion, since the rules of Sohlob vowel harmony don't allow '''a '''and''' e''' together in the same word. '''e''' is {{IPA|[ɨ]}} in Classical Sohlob and Heleb. In Kidilib and Linjeb it is {{IPA|[ɛ]}}. '''o''' is {{IPA|[ɒ]}} in Classical Sohlob, Heleb and. Kidilib. In Linjeb it is {{IPA|[ɔ]}}. '''ny''' is {{IPA|[ɲ]}}, except in Linjeb. '''ng''' is {{IPA|[ŋ]}}, except in '''ngr''', which is actually {{IPA|[ŋɡr]}} and '''ngl''', which is actually {{IPA|[ŋɡl]}}. '''hl''' is {{IPA|[ɬ]}}. '''hr''' ([[Kidilib]]) is {{IPA|[r̥]}} (voiceless trill). '''çr''' ([[Classical Sohlob]]) is {{IPA|[ʂ]}}. '''hy''' (Kidilib) is {{IPA|[ç]}}. In Kidilib '''t, d, s''' before '''i, e''' are pronounced as '''c, j, ç''', i.e. dentals and palatals merge before front vowels, and are pronounced as palatals but spelled as dentals in this position! == The letter ñ == Some may wonder that I don't use the letter '''ñ''' for '''ny''' {{IPA|[ɲ]}}. Alternately some people familiar with [[Wikipedia:J. R. R. Tolkien|Tolkien's]] use of '''ñ''' for {{IPA|[ŋ]}} may wonder why I don't adopt that usage. The answer is, as you may already have guessed, exactly the fact that I've encountered conflicting usages of '''ñ''', and so they make me confused, and I decided to use neither. In fact I used to use '''ñ''' for [[Kijeb]] ''{{IPA|ŋ}}'' in my private vocabulary database, since it didn't accomodate Unicode! == Heleb peculiarities == The [[Heleb]] dialect has a distinct pair of front rounded vowels ''ü'' and ''ö'' pronounced {{IPA|[y]}} and {{IPA|[œ]}}. The Heleb Latinization uses '''ä''' for {{IPA|[æ]}}. but this is only a difference in transcription. Heleb has distinctive vowel length. Long vowels are transcribed with doubled vowel letters. '''e''' and '''a''' are fully back unrounded vowels {{IPA|[ɯ]}} and {{IPA|[ɑ]}} in Heleb. '''ll''' indicates a velar(ized) {{IPA|/ɫ/}} or {{IPA|/ʟ/}} distinct from palatal '''l''' {{IPA|/ʎ/}}. This arose when front-back vowel harmony caused some formerly back vowels to become front and ''vice versa'', since formerly ''*l'' had had a palatal allophone before front vowels and a velar allophone before back vowels; this difference became phonemic as the liquid retained its old quality when the following vowel changed its front/back value. There was a similar allophony in ''*r'', but the palatal allophone merged with '''y'''. The remaining Heleb 'rhotic' '''r''' was probably realized as a retroflex fricative {{IPA|[ʐ]}} or {{IPA|[ɻ]}}. In the native script '''ll''' was written (from right to left) as {{Sohlob|rr}}, '''l''' as {{Sohlob|ir}} and '''r''' as {{Sohlob|r}}, if they were distinguished at all.

Linjeb did not have these sounds. Lindjeb also sometimes used {{Sohlob|ir}} '''ry''' to write /l/. *Kidilib did not distinguish {{Sohlob|æ}} '''æ''' and {{Sohlob|e}} '''e''', but used the unadorned letter {{Sohlob|e}} for /ɛ/. *The signs for voiceless stops {{Sohlob| K T P}} using a superimposed {{Sohlob|h}} '''h''' were the usual ones in Linjeb. In the other dialects voiceless and voiced stops were not usually distinguished in writing. *The form {{Sohlob|s}} for '''s''' looking like '''hh''' was in fact the usual one. The form {{Sohlob|S}} looking like an '''h''' with a dot was only used where a scribe had inadvertently omitted one of the strokes of {{Sohlob|s}}. *Lindjeb used a further digraph {{Sohlob|iu}} '''ui''' to write /y/. Sometimes {{Sohlob|ü}}, which in the other dialects would be read as '''w''' was used. ---- The phrase {{Sohlob|bolhos qreç}} at the bottom of the image is a misspelling for {{Sohlob|bolhos qres}} '''serq sohlob'''.

The League of Lost Languages ('''LLL''') is a kind of collaborative fiction-writing project in which the participants describe [[fictional language]]s that could exist or could once have existed in a world otherwise the same as the real world we all live in. The idea is that in the LLL world, some languages survived that died out in our world, without changing the world more than necessary to accomodate the languages in question. The LLL world is essentially our world with the same history and geography, just with a few extra languages. This is a kind of "what-if" [[conworld]], i.e. a ''fictional'' version of our world in which the change from reality is limited to the existence of a few extra languages. Examples of such "lost" languages include European languages of pre-Indo-European origin, modern East Germanic languages, fictional branches of Indo-European, sister groups of real-world families and isolates, etc. Of course, this is not limited to Europe. An LLL language could be yet another of the many diverse languages of the North American Pacific coast, a modern-day descendant of Sumerian or a pre-Bantu language in the Congo basin. It is also not ultimately necessary that the languages are spoken today; they might be extinct but having left written records. The participants would contribute their [[conlang]]s, say where and when they are spoken, and write fake scholarly papers and similar stuff about them. ''This is '''not''' a research project about actually existing languages! The languages described by our members are '''entirely fictional'''.'' We all do this ''just for fun''; we just love messing around with fictional languages. A language contributed to the LLL must fulfill the following criteria: # It is ''naturalistic'', i.e. it is plausible as a human language. # It is ''spoken by humans''; non-human races (even Neanderthal survivals etc.) are out of bounds. (The [[Elves]] and [[Dwarves]] speaking [[Albic]] and [[Coric]] are no exception to this: they are humans, not the usual fantasy races.) # Its ''history is consistent'' with the known history of the real world. This means that all the major events are the same as in our world. This rule puts limits on conculturing, but it also helps avoiding awkward political and religious debates, and concentrating on the languages. # It is either ''extinct'' (having left behind written records) or spoken by a community ''small'' enough not to make a difference. (This is pretty much an implication of the criterion above.)

It is a family of languages spoken in the British Isles and the Canary Islands (and a few other places where [[British Elves]] settled) in the [[League of Lost Languages]]. The name "Albic" is from the Old Albic self-designation '''Alba'''. [[Old Albic]] was the dominant language of Britain before the immigration of the Celts; its speakers, the [[British Elves]], were the bearers of a unique ancient civilization which gave rise to the Celtic and Germanic traditions of [[Elves]], the Greek tradition of Hyperborea and possibly also of the Atlantis myth. They were essentially humans who behaved pretty much like the Elves of J. R. R. Tolkien (whose languages were influential on the creation of the Albic languages). The modern Albic languages are spoken by tiny minorities which together make up about 50,000 people; they descend from various vernacular dialects of Old Albic. Four branches of the Albic family can be distiguished: ''South Albic'', consisting of Classical [[Old Albic]], [[Low Elvish]] and [[Macaronesian]]; ''Neck Albic'' with the single language [[Brishkan]]; ''North Albic'', represented by [[Caledonian]]; and ''West Albic'', to which belongs [[Ivernic]]. These four branches already existed as dialectal divisions in classical times, with Classical Old Albic showing characteristic features of the South Albic branch. The Albic languages belong to the [[Hesperic]] family and share a number of features (such as VSO word order and initial mutations) with the Celtic languages of the British Isles as well as with the [[Coric]] family; these three families thus form a linguistic area (see [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lostlangs/message/72 this article] for details). The Albic languages are active-stative languages of the [[fluid-S]] subtype; other interesting features include autosegmental behaviour of vowel features (leading to various umlaut and vowel harmony phenomena), marking of [[degrees of volition]] by various noun cases, [[suffixaufnahme]] (i.e., possessors agree with the possessee in number and case in addition to their own number and case marking), and a duodecimal (base 12) number system. ==The Albic languages== * [[Proto-Albic]] (reconstructed, Britain) * ''[[South Albic]]'' :* [[Old Albic]] (classical, Britain) :* ''[[Low Elvish]]'' ::* [[Glastonian]] (modern, southwest England) ::* [[Sinjenrin]] (modern, nomadic people in Britain) :* ''[[Macaronesian]]'' ::* [[Azorese]] (modern, Azores) ::* [[Madeirese]] (modern, Madeira) ::* [[Canarian]] (modern, Canary Isles) ::* [[Sajelvirin]] (modern, maritime nomads in the Atlantic) ::* [[Caboverdese]] (modern, Cape Verde islands) * ''[[Neck Albic]]'' :* [[Brishkan]] (modern, Yorkshire, England) * ''[[North Albic]]'' :* [[Caledonian]] (modern, Scotland) :* [[Alfheimian]] (extinct, Sweden) * ''[[West Albic]]'' :* [[Ivernic]] (modern, Ireland) :* [[Borgarnesian]] (extinct, Iceland) [[Category:Albic]] [[Category:LLL]] [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Artlangs]] [[category:Diachronic conlangs]] Noric 1205 29138 2008-02-17T20:12:16Z Melroch 31 Added Category:Conlang [[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] '''Noric''' is a language family spoken in the Austrian [[Alpine languages|Alps]] (with some outliers in other areas in central Europe) in the [[League of Lost Languages]]. The Noric languages descend from [[Proto-Noric]], which is assumed to have been spoken somewhere between Vienna and Salzburg about 3000 years ago. Soon after that, Indo-European speakers entered the area and pushed Noric into the deep valleys of the Austrian Alps, where some of the Noric languages have survived until today. All surviving Noric languages are spoken only by very few speakers, all of whom are bilingual in German (standard or the local dialect), and have no official status in Austria. Thus, the future of Noric remains uncertain. Noric is a group effort; we are currently working out [[Proto-Noric]], the common ancestor of the individual Noric languages. When done that, individuals and groups of members of the list will work out the daughter languages. ==Noric languages== {| border=0 cellpadding=6 !Language !Location !Author |- | [[Proto-Noric]] || Austria || the group |- | [[Knoshke]] || [[Wikipedia:Carpathians|Carpathians]] || [[User:Melroch|Benct Philip Jonsson]] |- | "[[P-Noric]]" || ? || Paul Bennett |} [[Category:Noric]] [[Category:LLL]] [[Category:Collaborations]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Proto-Noric 1206 55920 2010-09-13T06:09:34Z Tamfang 1411 /* Vocabulary */ columns '''Proto-Noric''' is the reconstructed common ancestor of the [[Noric]] languages.

It is obvious that the Noric people were subjected to and survived several waves of outside dominant cultures (by my eye Italo-Celtic, Italic, Germanic, Ugric and/or Turkic and Germanic again, more or less). That cultural overlay is going to lead to loan-words and the loaning of which things are culturally significant enough to have special terms for them. For instance, Noric people are likely to have grown wheat and barley, driven goats or sheep, drunk wine and mead --knowledge of both probably came with IE speakers (wine in turn probably came from Caucasian people (something like /ɣwinja/ IIRC)), and beer came later (around 1AD?) from the Romans (Latin ''cerevisia''), who got it from the Egyptians. They would have known about horses but probably not donkeys (knowledge of the horse (PIE *''ek^uo'') probably came with IE speakers), and had a concept of a home consisting of an entrance area and an inner area with a hearth. They would probably have had separate words for a village and a town (actually, the PIE word for "town" (cf. Greek ''polis'') was apparently borrowed from an unknown source -- might be worth thinking about). Plausibly, they traded in slaves (with a word for "slave" distinct to "man", and a word for "buy/sell slave(s)" distinct from the general "buy/sell"). Plausibly they would draw a line between a libation and a "regular" drink, and maybe between sacrificial killing, killing in battle/"slaying", and "regular" killing. :Would they really have "towns" as opposed to "villages". BTW Greek ''polis'' may well be from Pelasgian -- that would be my first hypothesis lacking other evidence. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 13:35, 2 Jun 2005 (PDT) :At some point, yes they would. I'm not sure of the age of the ''polis'' words, but we're talking about a culture from the Copper or Bronze age all the way through to modern times. At some point, I suspect they'd have need of a distinction. [[User:PaulBennett|Pb]] 08:25, 3 Jun 2005 (PDT) :Wouldn't they take up whatever word the dominant culture used, be it ''civitas, Stadt'' or ''város'' or whatever? [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 12:55, 3 Jun 2005 (PDT) :Possibly. Probably, in fact. However, the question is going to be at what point in time did the borrowing occur, and what was the dominant language at that time? Would there have been a *''bherg^h-''/''polis'' term as well as something in the ''Stadt'' range? I beleive *''bherg^h''s developed somewhere between villages and true cities, and indeed that's what they are. I think ''Stadt'' would make a perfectly servicable borrowing c. X to XV century (ish), when true cities became a reality. I think *''bherg^h-'' would be borrowed to describe, well, a *''bherg^h-'' [[User:PaulBennett|Pb]] 15:02, 3 Jun 2005 (PDT) :Agree. Real towns would come only with the Romans, probably.

R. R. Tolkien. However, there are about as many different ideas of Elves as there are people writing about them. The origin of the concept lies in ''Germanic mythology'', where Elves are a kind of middling race between humans and gods. Similar beings (called '''Tuatha Dé Danann''' or '''Daoine Sidhe''') also occur in Celtic mythology. The elves survived Christianization in folktales, but only in increasingly diminished form. In Victorian fairy-tales, they are tiny (from mouse-sized to insect-sized), luminous, playful and often winged. ==Elves in modern fantasy fiction== It is the merit of J. R. R. Tolkien to reinstate the Elves into their old nobility. Tolkien's Elves are similar to humans but wiser, stronger, more beautiful etc. and immortal (or rather, extremely long-lived). Gone were defacing traits such as the minute size and the gossamer wings. Tolkien also invented languages spoken by the Elves, most notably [[Quenya]] and [[Sindarin]] - or rather, he invented the Elves to have speakers for his languages. Tolkien's Elves have been the main model for Elves in modern fantasy fiction, and Tolkien's example popularized the idea that these beings speak languages of their own. Since then, numerous conlangers have made up their own Elvish languages. ==Examples of contemporary Elvish conlangs== Andreas Johansson is the inventor of [[Meghean]], a language spoken by Elves in a fantasy world of his own devising. Andreas's Elves are a separate species, not interfertile with humans. Danny Wier has been working on and off for years on an Elvish language named [[Tech]]. Little is known about Tech, except that it is a very complex language with a huge phoneme inventory, based on the hypothetical [[Nostratic]] language family. Danny tries to avoid Tolkienian clichés, and his Elves are actually incarnate djinn. Elliott Lash has developed [[Silindion]], a highly developed language of Elf-like beings in his own fantasy world. The ''Grey Company'', a guild of ''Ultima Online'' players, use [[Grey Company Elvish]], a language with a vocabulary partly taken from Tolkien's languages, and a simple grammar. [[User:Teamouse|Herman Miller]] has invented several languages for Elves from another planet, in a con-universe where most sapient beings are cute and furry. [[User:Jashan|Jashan A'al]] has developed the [[Drow language|High Drow]] language, based on a less sophisticated conlang published by TSR, Inc., spoken by Elves in the [[Forgotten Realms]] who were exiled for worshipping an evil deity. [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] developed, or rather is still developing, the [[Albic]] languages, a family of languages spoken by the [[British Elves]] in the [[League of Lost Languages]]. These Elves are entirely human. Toms Deimonds Barvidis has developed the Elvish language [[Longrimol]]. ==More info about Elves== [[Wikipedia:Elf]] [[Category:Races]] British Elves 1211 56261 2010-09-28T17:04:19Z WeepingElf 43 The '''British Elves''' are the focus of an incipient [[legendarium]] by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]. They are not really a separate race, but humans with an 'Elvish' culture (similar to Tolkien's [[Elves]]). They were the bearers of an ancient civilization that existed in the British Isles before the immigration of the Celts, and are the source of the [[Germanic languages|Germanic]] and [[Celtic languages|Celtic]] traditions of elves (hence 'British Elves'), as well as the Greek tradition of [[Hyperborea]]. It is possible that the [[Atlantis]] myth is based on a memory of the civilization of the British Elves. While tending to be tall and slender, they look like normal humans of European origin (that means that they don't have large pointed ears or any other non-human features commonly associated with 'elves'). They speak [[Albic]] languages; in Old Albic, they called themselves '''Elbi''' (singular '''Alba'''). This self-designation was borrowed into Germanic as ''*albaz'', hence English ''elf''. The old Celtic name of Britian, ''Inis Albion'', means 'Island of the Elves'. Elvish society was egalitarian, liberal and democratic. There never was an 'Elvish empire', only a loose confederacy of self-governed polities with elected leaders, with a 'High Table' ('''Theleca Tara''') set up as a coordinating and arbitrating council of representatives elected in the polities. The British Elves were great mariners and sailed the Atlantic, establishing tradeposts along the shorelines. The Elves believed that the purpose of humankind was to preserve the world and enrich it by creating new and beautiful things, and that in order to fulfill their Purpose, people had to be free. The social ideal was that of the free-lance artisan. The Elves used a lunisolar calendar based on the Metonic cycle (19 years = 235 months); the year 1 of the Elvish calendar was the year 1823 BCE, the date of their legendary landtaking. This is actually based on the date of the foundation of the '''Theleca Tara''' which was in 815 BCE and said to have happened 'seven gross years after the landtaking'. The year began on the first new moon after the spring equinox. Elvish astronomy was highly advanced, and Elvish scholars developed a 'Copernican' cosmology, with the planets (including the Earth) orbiting the Sun rather than the Earth, more than 300 years before Aristarchos of Samos. Elvish philosophy of nature was similar to modern morphic field theory. Every living being has a soul ('''nára'''), and even inanimate objects have a '''phanara''', a kind of form-giving entity, gestalt, or morphic field that resonates with other '''phaneri'''. Everything, from the whole universe down to the smallest particles of matter has (or rather, ''is'') a '''phanara''', and thus the universe is a grand hierarchy of nested '''phaneri'''; a '''nára''' is an espcially strong '''phanara''' specific to an individual being. The Elvish civilization reached the peak of its development around the year 600 BCE. A few decades later, wars with Phoenicians and Celts, combined with inner strife, brought fourth its demise, and the British Isles became dominated by Celtic tribes immigrating from continental Europe, absorbing the Elvish population.

It is a Romance language of Germany which was inspired by Andrew Smith's ''Brithenig''. In the world of the [[League of Lost Languages]], it is spoken in a few villages in the vicinity of Trier, Germany. Roman Germanech has undergone certain sound changes similar to the ones of German, including the High German consonant shift and i-umlaut. Otherwise, it is a pretty normal Romance language without any "cool" features. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== Germanech has the following consonant phonemes: {| | || Labial || Alveolar || Postalveolar || Palatal || Velar |- | Voiceless stops || /p/ || /t/ || || || /k/ |- | Voiced stops || /b/ || /d/ || || || /g/ |- | Voiceless affricates || /pf/ || /ts/ || /tʃ/ || || |- | Voiced affricates || || || /dʒ/ || || |- | Voiceless fricatives || /f/ || /s/ || /ʃ/ || /ç/ || [x] |- | Voiced fricatives || /v/ || [z] || /ʒ/ || || |- | Nasals || /m/ || /n/ || || || /ŋ/ |- | Lateral || || /l/ || || || |- | Trill || || || || || /ʀ/ (uvular) |- | Semivowel || || || || /j/ || |} [x] is an allophine of /ç/ that occurs after back vowels. [z] is an allophone of /s/ that occurs between vowels. ===Vowels=== Roman Germanech has the vowels /a ɛ i ɔ u/ (spelled '''a é i o u''') plus the front rounded vowels /œ y/ (spelled '''ö ü''') and schwa (spelled '''e'''). The letter '''ä''' represents the same vowel as '''é'''; it is used where the vowel represents an umlauted /a/. ===Alphabet and pronunciation=== The alphabet of Roman Germanech is the Latin alphabet with the special letters '''ä''', '''ö''' and '''ü''' (sorted as '''ae''', '''oe''', '''ue''', respectively). There is also an accented '''é''' (sorted as '''e'''). The consonants are pronounced as in English, with the following exceptions: {| | '''c''' || like ''sh'' before front vowels, like ''k'' elsewhere |- | '''ch''' || as in German |- | '''cj''' || always like ''sh'' |- | '''dj''' || like ''j'' in ''job'' |- | '''g''' || like ''s'' in ''measure'' before front vowels, like ''g'' in ''good'' elsewhere |- | '''gj''' || like ''s'' in ''measure'' |- | '''gu''' || as in ''guitar'' before front vowels |- | '''h''' || very lightly pronounced if at all |- | '''j''' || like ''y'' in ''yes'' (but see '''cj''', '''dj''', '''gj''' and '''tj''') |- | '''qu''' || like ''k'' before front vowels |- | '''r''' || uvular ''r'' as in French |- | '''s''' || like ''z'' in ''zone'' intervocalically, otherwise as in ''sing'' |- | '''tj''' || like ''ch'' in ''chin'' |- | '''x''' || the same as '''s''' |- | '''z''' || the same as '''s''' |} The vowels are pronounced as in German. ===Accent=== Accent falls on the last full (non-schwa) vowel. ==Morphology== ===Articles=== Germanech has a definite and an indefinite article. The definite article is inflected for gender and number: masc. sg. '''le''', masc. pl. '''les'''<br> fem. sg. '''la''', fem. pl. '''las''' The masculine definite article elides after prepositions that end in vowels: '''a''' + '''le''' > '''al'''<br> '''de''' + '''le''' > '''del''' The indefinite genitive plural is expressed by the preposition '''des'''. The indefinite article is the same for both genders: sg. '''un''', plural takes no article. ===Nouns=== Nominal morphology in Germanech is rather simple. There are two genders, ''masculine'' and ''feminine''. The Latin neuter has merged with the masculine. The Latin case system has not survived in Germanech; thus, the noun is only inflected for number (''singular'' and ''plural''). The plural is indicated by the suffix '''-s''' ('''-es''' after '''s''', '''z''', '''tz''', '''cj''', '''dj''', '''gj''', '''tj'''). Examples: '''brach''' 'arm', pl. '''brachs'''<br> '''camer''' 'room', pl. '''camers'''<br> '''cas''' 'house', pl. '''cases'''<br> '''catz''' 'cat', pl. '''catzes''' There are a few irregular plurals, e.g. '''corfs''' 'body', pl.

[[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] '''Thagojian''' is (or was) an Indo-European language, used up until the tenth or eleventh century along Mediterranian coastal regions between approximately Port Said and Tel Aviv. The language is known from very few extant documents, and research is currently at a very early stage. It is written in a script derived from uncial Greek (much like Coptic), and indeed shares a few additional glyphs with Coptic (specifically ''shai'', ''hori'' and ''qima''). There are also glyphs borrowed from Hebrew (specifically ''yod'', ''ayin'' and ''tzadi''). There is also a single letter, which stands in the position of ''digamma'', and seems to have the same value (that is /u/), but the origin of the symbol itself (which looks like a roman-alphabet ‘s’) is unclear at this time. Here’s the Latin-1 alphabet, with a following apostrophe on a consonant representing an acute. a b g d e u ts é th i ë k l lh m n n' ks o p r s t ï ph kh ps ó s' h q There are a number of phonetic readings of these letters, what follows seems to be the best average: /A b g d e u ts) E T i @ k l K m n N ks) o p r\ s t i\ f x ps) O S h ?/ The greatest variation in pronunciation is in the realisation of '''q''', which is variously thought to be any one of a number of uvular, pharyngeal, epiglottal or glottal sounds. What is certain is that it is the reflex of the PIE laryngeals '''*h2''' and '''*h3'''. There is another transcription scheme, known as the “Germanic” scheme, which makes the following graphic and phonetic substitutions: '''é''' -> '''ä''', '''ë''' -> '''ö''' /2/, '''ï''' -> '''ü''' /y/, and '''ó''' -> '''å''' The value of '''r''' as /r\/ is somewhat disputed, but the main proof comes from the fact that Semitic ‘tapped’ ''resh'' is borrowed as '''d''' and not as '''r'''. Since '''s''' and '''h''' are both valid single letters, in plain text, a digraph is distinguished from two consecutive characters by placing a period between the latter. In typeset text, the intervening period becomes an underdot on the second letter. The close vowels '''i''', '''ï''' and '''u''' seem to be able to be used as consonants, almost certainly representing the equivalent approximants (the most common consensus is /j/, /M\/ and /w/). Some authors transcribe these cases as '''y''', '''ÿ''' and '''w''', but this is not consistent, and has lead to some minor controversy in cases where the syllabicity of a close vowel is unclear. The most that can be said about the genealogy of the language at this stage (beyond its Indo-European heritage) is that it is more specifically of the ''satem'' branch, that it retains the PIE laryngeal phonemes in some positions, and that the sound changes from PIE seem to be very simple and straightforward, perhaps indicating that the phonological development of the language was somehow slowed down or frozen in place. There is speculation that the use of the language as a liturgical language is responsible in some way for this degree of conservatism, although the fraction of extant texts that are indeed liturgical is not especially high. Some doubt is also cast upon this theory by the degree of ''grammatical'' change which has occured, which is very significant. Thagojian is quite inflectional, much more so than other Indo-European languages, and much more so than either Arabic or Hebrew. Some would say it is almost polysynthetic, although that is probably an overstatement.

[[Category:Top-level categories]] Suffixaufnahme 1218 7021 2006-02-17T09:33:56Z WeepingElf 43 '''Suffixaufnahme''' is a grammatical device that occurs in some languages with case systems. It means that possessors are inflected for the case and number of the possessee as if they were adjectives. Here a few examples from [[Old Albic]]: (1) '''mbar os nderos''' ‘the house of the man’ (2) '''mbaral orol nderorol''' ‘at/in the house of the man’ (3) '''mbaran oron nderoron''' ‘to the house of the man’ This can be nested: (4) '''mbaran attoran nderomoloran''' ‘to the house of the father of the man’ In the last example, '''nderomolaran''' consists of the stem '''ndero''' ‘man’, a locative ending (marking the inalienable possession) '''-mol''', a genitive ending '''-as''' agreeing with the genitive of '''atto''' ‘father’, and the allative ending '''-an''' ‘to’ agreeing with the ending of '''mbar''' ‘house’. For more on suffixaufnahme, and natlangs showing this phenomenon, see [[Wikipedia: Suffixaufnahme]]. [[Category:Grammar]] Degrees of volition 1219 7020 2006-02-17T09:31:09Z WeepingElf 43 '''Degrees of volition''' are a category of the noun that is expressed by various subject cases or other formal means in some languages, such as [[Tokana]] and the [[Albic]] languages. (There may be natlangs with degree-of-volition marking, but I know of none.) In [[Old Albic]], the degree of volition of an agent is marked by the case the agent appears in. If the agent acts out of its own volition, it is in the ''agentive'' case. This is the unmarked degree. If it acts accidentally, it is in the ''dative'' case. If its action is the result of an external force, it is in the ''instrumental'' case, and the verb does not carry an agent agreement marker. The latter is the only degree of volition possible with an inanimate 'agent'. With verbs of perception, dative case marks cursory perception, and agentive case marks deliberate observation. Some examples: {| | (1a) || '''Ibretara o ndero am phath.''' |- | || AOR-break-3SG:P-3SG:A M-AGT man-AGT I-OBJ knife-OBJ |} {| | (1b) || '''Ibretara on nderon am phath.''' |- | || AOR-break-3SG:P-3SG:A M-DAT man-DAT I-OBJ knife-OBJ |} {| |(1c) || '''Ibreta ømi nderømi am phath.''' |- | || AOR-break-3SG:P M-INST man-INST I-OBJ knife-OBJ |} All three sentences can be translated as 'The man broke the knife', but (1b) emphasizes that the man did not mean to break the knife, but broke it accidentally, and (1c) that he was forced to break the knife. The same kind of degree-of-volition marking applies to agentive intransitives. See also [[fluid-S]]. [[category:Grammar]] Fluid-S 1220 6481 2006-01-22T02:49:20Z Muke 1 category:grammar A '''fluid-S''' language is a language in which not so much subject and object are distinguished from each other but ''agent'' and ''patient''. The subject of an intransitive verb is marked the same way as a transitive subject if it is an agent, and like a transitive object if it is not. Here are a few examples from [[Old Albic]]: {| | (1) || '''Ibretara o ndero am phath.''' |- | || AOR-break-3SG:P-3SG:A M-AGT man-AGT I-OBJ knife-OBJ |- | || `The man broke the knife.' |} {| | (2) || '''Obosca o ndero.''' |- | || AOR-flee-3SG:A M-AGT man-AGT |- | || `The man fled.' |} {| | (3) || '''Acara om nderom.''' |- | || AOR-sit-3SG:P M-OBJ man-OBJ |- | || `The man sat.' |} Both markings may be used with the same verb, depending on the agency of the subject: {|- | (4) || '''Acvamsa atto maso.''' |- | || AOR-come-3SG:A father-AGT 1SG-GEN-AGT |- | || `My father came.' |} {| | (5) || '''Acvama gratath thas.''' |- | || AOR-come-3SG:P letter-OBJ 2SG-GEN-OBJ |- | || `Your letter came.' |} In the examples (2) and (4), the subject acts out of itself, it is an agent; hence it receives the same marking as the transitive subject in (1). The subjects in (3) and (5) are not agents, and are thus marked like the object in (1). See also [[degrees of volition]]. [[Category:Grammar]] Nostratic 1221 27031 2007-11-25T16:18:25Z WeepingElf 43 /* See also */ '''Nostratic''' is a hypothetical language family consisting of [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]], Uralic, Altaic, Kartvelian, Dravidian, Afro-Asiatic, and, according to some authors, miscellaneous other languages. A similar hypothetical family, which may be a subfamily of Nostratic, is [[Eurasiatic]], consisting of Indo-European, Uralic, Altaic, Eskimo-Aleut, and a few other languages. The majority of historical linguists is doubtful of Nostratic and Eurasiatic. This is because the evidence is considered insufficient, and several mutually exclusive reconstruction attempts are in circulation. The most commonly cited reconstructions are one by the Russian scholars Vladimir Illich-Svitych and Aaron Dolgopolsky (now in Israel), and one by Allan Bomhard and John Kerns. The two teams use different sound correspondences: at most one of the two correspondence sets can be correct - and it may very well be that ''both'' are wrong. Clearly, a method that yields so many false positives must be unreliable. Nevertheless, this gives opportunities for conlanging, and there are indeed Nostratic conlangs. (Of course, an Indo-European or Semitic conlang would be Nostratic by the definition above.) Danny Wier bases [[Tech]] on Nostratic, using roots reconstructed by Bomhard; [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]’s [[Albic]] family is related to Indo-European and thus also Nostratic, though the Nostratic theory has little bearing on this project and the author doesn't assume that Nostratic is valid (nor does he assume the opposite). ==See also== * [[Wikipedia:Nostratic]] [[Category:Protolanguages]] Old Albic 1222 56260 2010-09-28T16:57:10Z WeepingElf 43 ''This page is partly out of date and pending revision, though the main points of the treatment of the language can still be considered reasonably accurate.''--[[User:WeepingElf|WeepingElf]] 09:57, 28 September 2010 (PDT) {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 class=bordertable style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCFF00" align="center" |'''Old Albic'''<br>'''''Elbirin''''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||British Isles |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||[[League of Lost Languages]] |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||extinct |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||[[Hesperic]] :[[Albic]] ::[[South Albic]] :::'''Old Albic''' |- |valign="top"|[[Basic word order]]: ||VSO/head-initial, free |- |valign="top"|[[Morphological type]]: ||agglutinating > fusional |- |valign="top"|[[Morphosyntactic alignment]]: ||active, fluid-S |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCFF00" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||[[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] || 2001- |} '''Old Albic''' (native name '''Elbirin''' 'Elvish') is the oldest [[Albic]] language attested in writing. The oldest surviving text fragments date back to the 7th century BCE. Old Albic was the language of the [[British Elves]] prior to the [[Tartessian War]] and the Celtic takeover in Britain. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== The Old Albic consonant system consists of 18 consonant phonemes. The language has labial, dental and velar ''stops'', voiceless and voiced: '''p''', '''t''', '''c'''; '''b''', '''d''', '''g'''. These stops have two allophones each: lenis when following a vowel, and fortis everywhere else. If a stop-initial word is phonetically linked to a vowel-final word, the initial stop is lenis. The so-called ''aspirates'' transcribed '''ph''', '''th''', '''ch''' evidently already were fricatives [f θ x] in Classical times. But while they are phonetically fricatives, they phonemically behave like stops. This indicates that they were stops in an earlier stage of the language. (This is also evidenced by the fact that they correspond to stops in North and West Albic languages; a stop articulation is also described as occuring in some rural dialects of Old Albic.) The aspirate '''th''' is dental (like voiceless English ''th''), in contrast to the alveolar '''s'''. The two phonemes thus did not fall together; it is certainly due to the heavy functional load of the distinction between '''th''' and '''s''' (cf. 2nd vs. 3rd person pronouns and endings!) that the merger was avoided. Other ''fricatives'' are the sibilant '''s''' and the laryngeal '''h''', which are preserved unchanged except in clusters composed of '''*s''' and another consonant, wherein '''s''' is deleted and the following consonant, if a stop, changed into a homorganic aspirate: '''*sp''' > '''ph''', '''*st''' > '''th''', '''*sc''' > '''ch'''. The phoneme '''h''' occurs only before a vowel; in all other positions, it deletes and the preceding vowel is lengthened. Sonorants are the nasals '''m''', '''n''', '''ŋ''' (the latter being velar as in ''sing''), the liquids '''l''', '''r''' (the latter is an alveolar flap), and the semivowels '''j''' (like ''y'' in English ''yes'') and '''v''' (like English ''w''). The full consonant inventory is thus as follows: {| || ||Labial||Dental||Alveolar||Palatal||Velar||Glottal |- ||Stops, voiceless||'''p'''||'''t'''|| || ||'''c'''|| |- ||Stops, voiced||'''b'''||'''d'''|| || ||'''g'''|| |- ||Fricatives||'''ph'''||'''th'''||'''s'''|| ||'''ch'''||'''h''' |- ||Nasals||'''m'''||'''n'''|| || ||'''ŋ'''|| |- ||Lateral|| || ||'''l'''|| || || |- ||Flap|| || ||'''r'''|| || || |- ||Semivowels||'''v'''|| || ||'''j'''|| || |} ====Consonant alternations==== There are several consonant alternations observable in Old Albic: ''Grassmann's Law'': every other aspirate in a word is turned into a voiceless stop. Precedence is from right to left, i.e. the penultimate aspirate is de-aspirated. ''Rhotacism'': intervocalic '''s''' becomes '''r'''. However, many cases of rhotacism are removed by analogical levelling which restored the '''s'''. ''Metathesis'' of stops followed by '''s''', e.g. '''ts''' -> '''st'''. '''h''' deletes with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel when not followed by a vowel. ===Vowels=== Old Albic has seven vowels: '''a, e, i, o, u, ø, y''', which occur both short and long (transcribed as '''á, é, í, ó, ú, ǿ, ý'''). Of these, '''ø''' and '''y''' are mid and high front vowels, respectively. The long vowels alternate with short vowels followed by the consonant h before vowels in various forms. Long vowels are tense /a: e: i: o: u: ø: y:/ while short vowels are lax /ɐ ɛ ɪ ɔ ʊ œ ʏ/. The classical Elvish grammarians describe the vowels of Old Albic in terms of combinations of three features ('wide', 'sharp' and 'round', or, in modern terminology, open, front and rounded), and they are represented that way in the Old Albic script. Each of the seven vowels corresponds to one combination of features: {| || ||a||e||i||o||ø||u||y |- ||[open]||+||+||-||+||+||-||- |- ||[front]||-||+||+||-||+||-||+ |- ||[round]||-||-||-||+||+||+||+ |} The harmony vowel '''°''', which occurs in several affixes and assimilates to the nearest vowel, can be considered an eighth vowel phoneme that lacks all three features and thus borrows the features from the neighbouring vowel. It is more useful, however, to consider what it actually is, namely a vowel position to which no features are attached. In lexical roots, the closed vowels ('''i, u, y''') are rare, and '''°''' does not occur. On the other hand, closed vowels and especially '''°''' occur frequently in affixes, while only few affixes contain open vowels. (See Morpheme structure.) ====Umlaut==== The vowels '''a''', '''i''' and '''u''' (both short and long) cause changes in preceding vowels. These changes are called umlaut. According to the three umlaut-causing vowels, there are three kinds of umlaut: a-umlaut lowers high vowels, i-umlaut fronts back vowels, and u-umlaut rounds unrounded vowels. The changes are summarized in the following table: {| ||Radical||a-umlaut||i-umlaut||u-umlaut |- ||'''a'''||'''a'''||'''e'''||'''o''' |- ||'''e'''||'''e'''||'''e'''||'''ø''' |- ||'''i'''||'''e'''||'''i'''||'''y''' |- ||'''o'''||'''o'''||'''ø'''||'''o''' |- ||'''ø'''||'''ø'''||'''ø'''||'''ø''' |- ||'''u'''||'''o'''||'''y'''||'''u''' |- ||'''y'''||'''ø'''||'''y'''||'''y''' |} Umlaut takes precedence from right to left. For example, if an '''a''' precedes an '''i''', it is umlauted to '''e''' and thus does not trigger a-umlaut in the vowel preceding it. If the vowel preceding the umlauting vowel belongs to a bisyllabic morpheme, both vowels of that morpheme are umlauted. Example: '''meceli''' 'by means of flesh' (from '''macal''' 'flesh' with instrumental ending '''-i'''). ====Vowel harmony==== Many affixes undergo ''vowel harmony'': the vowel in the affix always matches the nearest vowel of the stem. The classical Elvish scholars analyzed this phenomenon as an eighth vowel phoneme that has none of the three possible vowel features and thus borrows them from the neighbouring vowel. Such a featureless vowel position in an affix is represented by the symbol '''°'''. ====Ablaut==== Other vowel alternations occur in some derivations. The open vowels '''e''', '''o''' and '''ø''' alternate with the closed vowels '''i''', '''u''' and '''y'''; similarly, '''a''' alternates with '''°''' or zero. These alternations, known as ablaut, can be considered alternations in the feature [open]. There are also cases of schwebeablaut in which a vowel changes its position in the morpheme: '''CaRC''' ~ '''CRaC'''. ====An autosegmental view of the vowel features==== The behaviour of vowel features in Old Albic can be aptly described by an ''autosegmental'' approach. This means that the vowel features are assumed to exist on a structural tier separate from the segmental tier. The segmental tier contains the consonants and the vowel positions; the vowel features exist on a tier on their own and bind not directly to vowel positions but to ''morphemes'' (which also means that no morpheme may have two vowels of different quality). In the phonetic realization, the vowel features are associated with the vowel positions and thus produce the vowels observed in actual speech. Umlaut and vowel harmony involve spreading of vowel features to neighbouring morphemes. Consider, for example, the word form '''semelbredimil''', which is the plural locative of '''semelbrad''' 'wheat bread'. This word consists of four morphemes: '''semel-''' `wheat', '''brad-''' 'bread', '''-im''' `plural' and '''-°l''' `locative'. On the segmental tier, the structure of the word is '''s°m°l-br°d-°m-°l'''. The first morpheme has the features [+front] and [+open] attached (giving '''semel-'''), the second morpheme [+open] (giving '''-brad-'''), the third, [+front] (giving '''-im'''), while the last morpheme has ''no'' vowel feature attached. The feature [+front] of the third morpheme spreads leftward (i-umlaut) such that both [+open] and [+front] attach to '''-br°d-''' giving '''-bred-''' and rightward (vowel harmony) resulting in the locative ending realized as '''-il'''. Graphically: <pre> [+open] [+open] [+open] [+open] [+front] | [+front] [+front] | [+front] | | | | | / | \ s°m°l- br°d- -°m -°l --> s°m°l- br°d- -°m -°l --> semel-bred-im-il </pre> ===Phonotactics=== Most Old Albic syllables are CV or CVC, but CCVC, CVCC and even CCVCC syllables occur. Two-consonant onsets generally consist of an obstruent followed by a liquid or semivowel, or of a stop preceded by a homorganic nasal. Two-consonant codas consist of a liquid followed by an obstruent or nasal, or a nasal followed by a homorganic obstruent. Zero onsets occur, but only word-initially or after an open syllable. No more than three consonants may occur together between two vowels. ===Accent=== Old Albic has a phonetic stress accent that depends on syllable weight. Words with one or two syllables are always stressed on the first syllable. In words with three or more syllables, the accent falls on the antepenultimate (third-last) syllable if the penultimate syllable is light (i.e., it is open and has a short vowel), otherwise on the penultimate syllable. If the penultimate syllable ends in a stop followed by a liquid or semivowel (e.g., '''cv''', '''thr'''), the accent is on the antepenultimate syllable. ===Linking=== In Old Albic, neighbouring words are often phonetically ''linked'', similar to the ''liaison'' in French. Linking occurs between the elements of a noun phrase, as well as between a verb or a preposition and the following adverb or noun phrase. While each of the linked words has its own stress, the words are phonetically run together. If two words are linked of which the first ends in a vowel and the second begins with a stop, that stop is pronounced as a lenis stop just like a stop following a vowel in the same word. Thus, Old Albic shows a subphonemic ''initial mutation''. ==Morphology== Old Albic has a wealth of derivational and inflectional morphology. The noun distinguishes four genders, three numbers and eight cases; adjectives agree with the nouns in all these categories and have four degrees of comparison; verbs distinguish eight tense/aspect/mood forms and are conjugated for the person and number of their core arguments. Most of the Old Albic morphology is regular and agglutinating, though umlaut and other morpho-phonemic alternations cause several apparent irregularities in the paradigms. ===Morpheme structure=== ====Roots==== Most lexical roots in Old Albic are of one of the forms CVC, CRVC or CVRC (wherein R is a resonant and V is a short vowel). There are a few roots with an initial homorganic nasal-stop cluster, e. g. '''ndar-''' 'man'. Some roots are of the form CV:C or CRV:C, with a long vowel V:. There are also bisyllabic roots with the structure CVCVC (e. g. '''macal-''' 'meat', '''semel-''' 'wheat'). In such bisyllabic roots, the two vowels always have the same quality. There are a few constraints regarding the distribution of stops in the root. In a true monomorphemic root, no two voiceless stops occur (forms such as '''tolt-''' '8' are actually compounds, in this example '''to-lt-'''); aspirates do not co-occur with voiced stops. The root vowel is '''a''' in the more than half of all roots; '''e''' and '''o''' also occur in a number of roots, while '''i''' and '''u''' are rare and '''ø''' and '''y''' do not occur. ====Affixes==== Affixes have rather simple structures. There are far more suffixes than prefixes. Most suffixes have the shape -C, -V, -VC or -CV; -CVC also occurs. Prefixes are usually CV-, sometimes C- or V-. Inflectional affixes do not contain voiceless stops. The vocalism of affixes is markedly different from root vocalism. The most common vowel in affixes is '''°''' (i. e., there is no vowel feature attached to the affix), also common are '''i''' and '''u'''. The open vowels '''a''', '''e''' and '''o''' occur only in few affixes. The striking differences in root and affix vocalism can be explained by the working of ablaut in conjunction with a Proto-Albic accent on the root syllable. Under this accent, the root was in full grade and thus its vowel received the feature [+open]. The affixes, being unaccented, were in reduced grade with the feature [-open]. ===Word formation=== A word in Old Albic consists of at least one root to which zero or more derivational and/or inflectional morphemes are affixed. Verbs always carry at least one inflectional affix; in contrast, there are nouns consisting of a bare root, but derived nouns are more common. If both derivational and inflectional affixes are present, the derivations are closer to the root than the inflections. For example, '''maneri''' 'thinkers' is a word ('''man-''' 'think' + '''-°r''' 'agent' (derivation) + '''-i''' 'plural' (inflection)), while '''#meniir''' ('''man-i-°r''') is not. ====Derivation==== Derivation is mostly done by suffixing, though a few derivational prefixes (such as '''na-''' 'not, non-') exist. Derivational prefixes never change the word-class of the word (though they may change the valency of a verb), while suffixes often do. ====Compounding==== Compounding is a highly productive process in Old Albic. Compounds are generally head-final; the second element thus determines the word-class of the compound (which can, however, be changed by a derivational suffix). The first element of a compound is a bare stem (short objective stem in case of an animate noun); if the stem ends in an obstruent, a vowel matching the stem vowel of the first element is infixed between the first and second element of the compound. Example: '''att-''' 'father' + '''landa''' 'land, country' -> '''Attalanda''' 'fatherland'. Most compounds are nouns. The largest group of nominal compounds are attributive compounds, i. e. the first element specifies the second one, e. g. '''semelbrad''' 'wheat bread'. There are also externally headed (''bahuvrihi'') compouds. ===Nouns=== ====Animate and inanimate nouns; gender==== Nouns in Old Albic fall into one of two major classes: ''animate'' and ''inanimate''. Animate nouns denote living beings, spirits, collective entities of living beings, and a small number of other things which were for some reason (mostly mythological) considered animate, such as heaven, the earth, celestial bodies and certain forces of nature. Most nouns referring to non-living objects (both natural and man-made) are inanimate. Most abstract nouns are also inanimate, but there are exceptions. The importance of the animate-inanimate distinction for grammar is paramount. The animate noun has a greater number of cases; these extra cases are missing from the inanimate paradigm because certain arguments, such as agents, are ''required'' to be animate. Within the animate noun class, three ''genders'' are distinguished: ''masculine'', ''feminine'' and ''common/neuter''. These are marked by final vowels: {| ||Masculine||'''-o''' |- ||Feminine||'''-e''' |- ||Common/Neuter||'''-a''' |} The masculine and feminine genders are used only for entities of the corresponding natural gender, i.e. male or female, respectively. Whenever the gender is unknown to the speaker, irrelevant to the discourse, or not applicable (e.g. in case of collective entities), the common form is used. There are a few mythologically motivated exceptions: '''Nabo''' 'heaven' and '''Sino''' 'moon' are masculine, '''Dage''' 'earth' and '''Are''' 'sun' are feminine. Many nouns exist in different gender forms, such as words for animal species, ethnic groups, professions etc. For example, the word for 'dog' is '''chvana'''; 'male dog' is '''chvano''' and 'female dog' is '''chvane'''. 'Elf' is '''alba''', 'male Elf' '''albo''', and 'female Elf' '''albe'''. A few nouns have fixed gender because the gender is part of the semantics of the word: '''atto''' 'father', '''amme''' 'mother'. Entities to which no gender can be ascribed are always common/neuter. This includes collective entities such as '''tamba''' `family', forces of nature such as '''phaja''' 'fire', or abstract notions such as '''phanara''' 'morphic field'. Inanimate nouns do not distinguish gender. ====Number==== The Old Albic noun has three numbers: '''singular''', '''dual''' and '''plural'''. The dual is used only for matched pairs, e.g. of eyes, shoes, husband and wife, etc. It is no longer productive, and verbs agreeing with animate dual nouns take plural forms. Animate nouns take the number suffixes '''-u''' for dual and '''-i''' for plural. In the common/neuter gender, these suffixes replace the gender vowel '''-a'''. In the masculine and feminine genders, the suffix is affixed to the gender vowel, e.g. '''chvanei''' 'bitches'. In words with fixed gender, the number marker replaces the gender vowel: '''nderi''' 'men'. The number suffixes of the inanimate noun are '''-um''' for dual and '''-im''' for plural. ====Case==== In Old Albic, the noun is inflected for ten ''cases: agentive, genitive, dative, partitive; objective, instrumental, locative, allative, ablative, perlative''. Only animate nouns have forms for all these cases; inanimate nouns have a defective paradigm without agentive, genitive, dative and partitive cases. The cases are based on two ''case stems'', the ''agentive stem'' (AS) and the ''objective stem'' (OS). Animate nouns have an AS and an OS, while inanimate nouns have only an OS. The animate agentive stem is the noun root with the gender/number vowel as discussed above. The objective stem is normally formed by adding '''-m''' to the agentive stem. Examples: '''cvastam''' 'human', '''chvanem''' 'bitch', '''elbim''' 'Elves'. Another way of forming the OS, most commonly found in poetry, is the so-called ''short objective stem'', which is formed by clipping off the gender vowel. This is possible only in the singular. The agentive, genitive, dative and partitive cases are formed from the agentive stem, the other cases from the objective stem using the following endings: {| ||Agentive ||AS-Ø |- ||Genitive ||AS-'''s''' |- ||Dative ||AS-'''n''' |- ||Partitive ||AS-'''l''' |- ||Objective ||OS-Ø |- ||Instrumental ||OS-'''i''' |- ||Locative ||OS-'''°l''' |- ||Allative ||OS-'''°n''' |- ||Ablative ||OS-'''°d''' |- ||Perlative ||OS-'''°th''' |} This means that inanimate nouns have no agentive, genitive, dative or partitive case as said above. Examples: '''alba''' 'Elf', '''ont''' 'stone'. {| || ||Singular ||Plural ||Singular ||Plural |- ||Agentive ||'''alba''' ||'''elbi''' ||--||-- |- ||Genitive ||'''albas''' ||'''elbis''' ||--||-- |- ||Dative ||'''alban''' ||'''elbin''' ||--||-- |- ||Partitive ||'''albal''' ||'''elbil''' ||--||-- |- ||Objective ||'''albam''' ||'''elbim''' ||'''ont''' ||'''øntim''' |- ||Instrumental ||'''albemi''' ||'''elbimi''' ||'''ønti''' ||'''øntimi''' |- ||Locative ||'''albamal''' ||'''elbimil''' ||'''ontol''' ||'''øntimil''' |- ||Allative ||'''albaman''' ||'''elbimin''' ||'''onton''' ||'''øntimin''' |- ||Ablative ||'''albamad''' ||'''elbimid''' ||'''ontod''' ||'''øntimid''' |- ||Perlative ||'''albamath''' ||'''elbimith''' ||'''ontoth''' ||'''øntimith''' |} The ''agentive'' is used to mark the animate, autonomous agent of the action denoted by the verb. Typically, the agent acts volitionally (see Degrees of volition, below). The ''genitive'' marks the (animate) alienable possessor of an object. The case of the possessum is marked on the genitive by suffixaufnahme. The ''dative'' has several functions: it marks the (animate) experiencer, the mentally affected object and the agent acting involuntarily out of accident (see Degrees of volition); it is also used with some prepositions that require an animate object. The ''partitive'' marks the whole something is part of, and (sometimes) the inalienable possessor (more commonly, inalienable possession is expressed by a possessor-possessum compound). It undergoes suffixaufnahme. It is also used with prepositions. The ''objective'' marks the (animate or inanimate) undergoer of an action or event, or the entity that is in a particular state. The ''instrumental'' marks the (typically inanimate) instrument, way or means of an action, event or state, and is used to derive adverbs from adjectives. It also expresses an animate agent acting involuntarily under external force (see Degrees of volition). Furthermore, it is used as a comitative case (`together with') in which case it undergoes suffixaufnahme. The ''locative'' marks the place of an action or event, also (for inanimate nouns) the whole something is part of, and (sometimes) the inalienable possessor (more commonly, inalienable possession is expressed by a possessor-possessum compound). In the latter usage, it undergoes suffixaufnahme. It is also used with prepositions. The ''allative'' marks the direction or goal of an action or event. Inanimate indirect objects also take the allative case. The ''ablative'' marks the origin or source of an action or event. The ''perlative'' marks the path along or space within an event takes place. ====Suffixaufnahme==== Whenever a noun modifies another noun, it acts like an adjective. It does not only carry its own case marker, but is also marked for the gender, number and case of the head noun. For example, the locative plural of 'the father's houses' is '''mberimil attøsimil''', wherein the analysis of the form '''attøsimil''' is composed as follows: '''atto''' 'father' + '''-s''' genitive + '''-im''' plural OS + '''-°l''' locative. This phenomenon is known as ''suffixaufnahme''. Suffixaufnahme is only mandatory if the dependent noun is moved away from the head noun; in ordinary speech, the secondary endings are usually omitted. ====The construct state==== A noun modified by a possessor (genitive or locative) is in the ''construct state'': it is definite without taking a definite article. Often, the case and number marking on the noun is left out and only the bare short OS appears, as these categories are expressed on the possessor (suffixaufnahme). ===Adjectives=== The inflection of adjectives follows that of nouns; they agree with the head noun in animacy, gender, number and case. The ''singular objective stem'' of the adjective is the simplest form, consisting of the base of the adjective, i.e. the root or the root with derivational morphemes attached to it. The dual and plural OSs are formed by adding the suffixes '''-um''' (dual) or '''-im''' (plural) to the singular OS. Each adjective has three animate singular agentive stems, one for each gender, formed by adding the respective gender vowel ('''-o, -e, -a''') to the singular OS. The dual and plural ASs are formed with the vowels '''-u''' and '''-i''' suffixed to the singular OS; the dual and plural OSs from these ASs by adding '''-m'''. Sample paradigm ('''ban''' 'beautiful'): {| || ||AS||OS |- ||Inanimate singular ||-- ||'''ban''' |- ||Masculine singular ||'''bano''' ||'''ban''' |- ||Feminine singular ||'''bane''' ||'''ban''' |- ||Common animate singular ||'''bana''' ||'''ban''' |- ||Dual (*) ||'''bonu''' ||'''bonum''' |- ||Plural ||'''beni''' ||'''benim''' |} (*) The dual number of the adjective already was a dying category in classical times. There are numerous examples of dual nouns accompanied by plural adjectives, and in Late Old Albic the dual number of the adjective had faded away completely. ====Comparison==== ''Comparison'' is a morphological category particular to the adjective. The ''positive degree'' is unmarked. The ''comparative degree'' is marked with the suffix '''-°r ''' . The ''superlative degree'' is marked with the suffix '''-°th ''' . There is also an ''equative degree'' ('as ... as'), which is marked with the suffix '''-°ch ''' . These forms are the singular OSs; non-singular number forms and agentive stems are formed from them as shown above. The ''standard of comparison'' (i.e., the entity to which is compared) is in the locative case. Examples: '''banach albamal''' 'as beautiful as an Elf'; '''banar chvanal''' 'more beautiful than a dog'; '''banath''' 'most beautiful'. ====Adverbs from adjectives==== The instrumental case of the adjective also serves as adverb: '''beni''' 'beautifully'. ===The definite article=== Old Albic has a definite article, but no indefinite article. The definite article agrees with the noun in gender, number and case. It has the following forms: {| || ||AS ||OS |- ||Masculine singular ||'''o''' ||'''om''' |- ||Feminine singular ||'''e''' ||'''em''' |- ||Common animate singular ||'''a''' ||'''am''' |- ||Inanimate singular ||-- ||'''am''' |- ||Dual ||'''u''' ||'''um''' |- ||Plural ||'''i''' ||'''im''' |} The cases are formed normally from the agentive and objective stems. ===Prepositions=== Compared to a language like English, Old Albic makes rather little use of prepositions, as many of the relations expressed by prepositions in English are expressed by noun cases. Nevertheless, there are several prepositions in Old Albic. They are essentially case forms of inanimate nouns and govern the partitive (for animate objects) or the locative (for inanimate objects). ====Local prepositions==== An important subclass of prepositions are those expressing specific ''local relations'' such as 'above', 'below', 'inside', etc. These prepositions are actually inanimate ''nouns'' that are in turn inflected for case. Example: {| ||'''tharal amal(al) mbaral(al)''' (locative) 'behind the house' |- ||'''tharan amal(an) mbaral(an)''' (allative) 'to behind the house' |- ||'''tharad amal(ad) mbaral(ad)''' (ablative) 'from behind the house' |} (The suffixes in parantheses are secondary case suffixes (see suffixaufnahme) that are not mandatory, and usually omitted.) ====Prepositional pronouns==== When the object of a preposition is a pronoun, the pronoun precedes the preposition (which thus acts as a postposition) and is combined with it into a single word. ===Pronouns=== The animate/inanimate opposition is a characteristic feature of the Old Albic pronoun system. With the exception of 1st and 2nd person pronouns (for obvious reasons), each pronoun has different, often suppletive, animate and inanimate forms. Prounouns are generally inflected like nouns. ====Personal pronouns==== The 1st and 2nd person pronouns are always animate. In the dual and plural, there is a distinction between inclusive and exclusive 1st person pronouns. The difference is that the inclusive pronouns are used if the addressee is a member of the 'we'-group. The pronouns have the following agentive stems: {| || ||Singular ||Dual ||Plural |- ||1st person (exclusive) ||'''ma''' ||'''mu''' ||'''mi''' |- ||1st person (inclusive) || ||'''vu''' ||'''vi''' |- ||2nd person (familiar) ||'''tha''' ||'''thu''' ||'''thi''' |- ||2nd person (deferential) ||'''la''' ||'''lu''' ||'''li''' |} The objective stems are formed by adding '''-m''' to the agentive stems. The cases are formed in the same way as for nouns. Pronominal core arguments are redundant and usually omitted, but the pronouns are used emphatically. ====Anaphoric pronouns==== The anaphoric ('3rd person') pronouns have different animate and inanimate forms. The animate pronouns have masculine, feminine and common gender forms. The agentive stems of the animate forms are '''so''' 'he', '''se''' 'she', '''sa''' 'he/she/it'. The dual and plural ASs are '''su''' 'they both' and '''si''' 'they', respectively. The objective stems are formed, as with the 1st and 2nd person pronouns, with the suffix '''-m'''. The OS of the inanimate anaphoric pronoun is '''tath''' 'it' (dual '''tothum''', plural '''tethim'''). There is also a ''switch reference'' pronoun. It is '''ra''' in the agentive case and '''ram''' in the objective case. The form '''ra''' is corefernt with the patient, the form '''ram''' with the agent of the preceding clause. There is a poetic device called ''braiding'' in which chains of reciprocal action are narrated using these pronouns to switch the core arguments back and forth. ====Demonstratives==== There are three demonstratives: '''san''' 'this (near me)', '''than''' 'that (near you)', '''an''' 'that (over there)'. They are inflected like adjectives and are placed at the end of the NP which also has a definite article, e.g. '''am ont san''' `this stone' (lit. 'the stone this'; inanimate objective singular), '''in chvenin mechin thenin''' 'those large dogs' (lit. 'the dogs large those'; common gender animate dative plural). ====Interrogative pronouns==== The animate interrogative ('who?') has the agentive stem '''chva''' (OS '''chvam'''); the inanimate interrogative ('what?') is '''man'''. ====Table of correlatives==== {| || ||Which? ||This ||That ||Yon ||Some ||Every ||No |- ||Person (AS) ||'''chva''' ||'''sana''' ||'''thana''' ||'''ana''' ||'''hana''' ||'''cvana''' ||'''nana''' |- ||Person (OS) ||'''chvam''' ||'''sanam''' ||'''thanam''' ||'''anam''' ||'''hanam''' ||'''cvanam''' ||'''nanam''' |- ||Thing (OS) ||'''man''' ||'''san''' ||'''than''' ||'''an''' ||'''han''' ||'''cvan''' ||'''nan''' |- ||Place ||'''mal''' ||'''sal''' ||'''thal''' ||'''al''' ||'''hal''' ||'''cval''' ||'''nal''' |- ||Time ||'''mai''' ||'''sai''' ||'''thai''' ||'''ai''' ||'''hai''' ||'''cvai''' ||'''nai''' |- ||Way ||'''meni''' ||'''seni''' ||'''theni''' ||'''eni''' ||'''heni''' ||'''cveni'''|| '''neni''' |- ||Reason ||'''mar''' ||'''sar''' ||'''thar''' ||'''ar''' ||'''har''' ||'''cvar''' ||'''nar''' |} ===Verbs=== The Old Albic verb is inflected for tense, aspect and mood, and conjugated for the person and number of subject and object. The overall structure of the finite verb is A-PV-STEM-TM-OC-AC-M wherein the abbreviations stand for the following: {| ||A ||Augment: the first vowel of the verb is repeated to indicate perfective (aorist) aspect. |- ||PV ||Preverb: this is a prefix that raises an oblique argument to direct object. |- ||TM ||Tense/Mood marker (see below). |- ||OC ||Objective conjugation. On transitive verbs, this refers to the direct object; on non-active intransitive verbs, to the subject. |- ||AC ||Agentive conjugation; used only on active verbs, and only if the subject is in agentive or dative case. |- ||M ||Middle voice. |} ====Active vs. stative verbs==== A very important distinction in Old Albic, as in all Albic languages, is between ''active'' and ''stative'' verbs. Active verbs are verbs referring to actions performed by the subject; stative verbs are all the others. Verbs of perception and emotion are a subclass of active verbs. Some verbs, especially verbs of motion, are ''fluid'' verbs, i.e. they can be active or stative, depending on whether the subject moves out of itself or not. All transitive verbs are active. Active verbs take agentive conjugation suffixes indicating person and number of the subject; transitive verbs also take objective conjugation suffixes indicating person and number of the object. Stative verbs take objective conjugation suffixes indicating person and number of the subject. This distinction also affects case marking. Subjects of active verbs are marked with the agentive or dative case, depending on the degree of volition of the subject. The basic case marking is agentive, except verbs of perception and emotion that usually take the dative case. (This also means that the subject ''has to'' be animate, though a zero-agent construction with an inanimate adjunct in instrumental case can be used to express notions such as 'The stone smashed the pot'.) In contrast, subjects of stative verbs as well as direct objects are marked with the objective case. ====Strong vs. weak verbs==== Verbs can be divided into ''strong'' and ''weak'' verbs after the structure of the stem. Strong verbs are the more basic ones; their stem consists of a single root, or a root with a prefix, but no suffix. Weak verbs are verbs derived from nouns, adjectives, other verbs etc. All verbs with a derivational suffix are weak. This includes nominal and adjectival predicates. Verbs with a root-closing nasal or with two or more root-closing consonants are also weak. Strong and weak verbs differ in the form of certain inflectional markings, especially the imperfect and conditional, which have more regular, agglutinative forms with weak verbs. Thus, while the stem structure of weak verbs is more complex, their inflections are simpler. ====Preverbs==== Some verbs can take derivative prefixes called ''preverbs''. A preverb forms a transitive verb by raising an oblique NP to direct object status. If the underlying verb is transitive, the old object was demoted to instrumental case. ====Tense/Mood/Aspect==== There are two ''moods'': indicative and subjunctive; the latter is also used as an imperative. In both moods, two ''aspects'', imperfective and perfective (aorist) are distinguished; the imperfective indicative is in turn divided into four ''tenses'': present, imperfect (past), future and conditional. The ''present tense'' refers to an ongoing event in the present. It is marked by the suffix '''-a-''' following the stem. This suffix and the 3rd person singular objective suffix coalesce into '''-á-''': '''labáma''' 'I love him/her'. The ''imperfect tense'' refers to an ongoing event (seen as uncompleted) in the past. The imperfect tense of a weak verb is marked by a suffix '''-°n-'''. In case of a strong verb, the suffix is '''-n-'''; if the root ends in a stop or fricative, the nasal is ''infixed'' before the final consonant, assimilating to the point of assimilation of the obstruent, e.g. '''boc-''' 'flee' -> '''boñc-'''; '''boñcma''' 'I was fleeing'. Otherwise, the nasal is suffixed: '''sel-''' 'shine' -> '''selna''' 'it shone'. An example of a weak verb: '''marar-''' 'kill' -> '''mararanara''' 'he was killing him'. The ''future tense'' is used for ongoing events in the future. It is marked with a suffix '''-u-'''. The ''conditional'', morphologically a cross between imperfect and future (as in so many languages), is used to refer to hypothetical events, especially in antecedents of conditional clauses. It is marked by '''-u-''' suffixed to the imperfect, e.g. '''bongcu-''', '''sølnu-''', '''mararonu-'''. The ''aorist'' usually refers to completed events in the past and is used as the narrative tense. It thus contrasts mainly with the imperfect. However, an event referred to by the aorist need not be in the past; the aorist is also used to express ''anteriority'' in relation to another event, even if the event referred to is still ongoing or altogether in the future. For example, in a sentence such as 'When the sun sets, we will open the feast', the antecedent when the sun sets would be put in the aorist: '''Sí evessa Are, pathymi am matanal.''' Another use of the aorist is the ''gnomic aorist'', which expresses timeless truth. The aorist is marked by the ''augment'', a prefix '''°-''' consisting of the root vowel. If the root has an initial vowel, an h is inserted between the augment and the root-initial vowel: '''Ahaussa Are.''' 'The sun has risen.' ('''aus-''' `to rise') The ''subjunctive'' is marked by the suffix '''-i-'''. The aorist subjunctive is marked by augment and '''-i-'''. The aorist subjunctive is used as a 'hearsay form' ('it may have been that...'). ====Objective conjugation==== The objective conjugtion suffixes agree with an argument of the verb that appears in the objective case. This is the direct object of a transitive verb or the subject of a stative verb such as '''dat-''' 'to fall'. {| || ||Singular ||Plural |- ||1st person ||'''-ha'''||'''-hi''' |- ||2nd person ||'''-cha'''||'''-chi''' |- ||3rd person ||'''-a'''||'''-i''' |} The verb agrees in number with the object only if the object is animate. If the object is inanimate, the conjugation is always singular ('''-a'''), regardless of the number of the object. A ditransitive verb such as '''dan''' 'to give' also agrees with the indirect object. For this purpose, the same endings are used (except that a 3rd person singular indirect object is indicated by zero if the direct object is also 3rd person singular), with the indirect object conjugation suffix preceding the direct object suffix: '''danacháma''' (< '''dan-a-cha-a-ma''') 'I give it to you'. ====Agentive conjugation==== The agentive conjugation suffixes are used with active verbs and mark agreement with an agentive or dative subject (see degrees of volition below). A instrumental-case (instrumental) 'subject' triggers no agreement as it isn't really a subject but an oblique adjunct to a zero-agent clause. {| || ||Singular ||Plural |- ||1st person ||'''-ma''' ||'''-mi''' |- ||2nd person ||'''-tha''' ||'''-thi''' |- ||3rd person ||'''-sa/-ra''' ||'''-si/-ri''' |} The 3rd person suffixes have several allomorphs. The forms '''-ra''' and '''-ri''' appear after vowels and '''r'''; after '''l''', the suffixes take the forms '''-la''' and '''-li'''. In all other cases, the suffixes are '''-sa''' and '''-si''', which are the underlying forms (the post-vocalic '''-ra''' and '''-ri''' forms result from rhotacism of intervocalic '''*s''', the forms that occur after '''l''' and '''r''' from assimilation). However, if the suffix follows a stop (including '''ph''', '''th''' and '''ch'''), metathesis occurs and the '''s''' of the suffix precedes the stop (example: '''obosca''' 'he fled'). ====Middle==== The ''middle voice'' is marked with the suffix '''-r'''. It has two functions. Used intransitively, it has reflexive meaning; used transitively, it denotes the so-called ''subject version'', i.e. that the subject acts on behalf of itself. The middle ''never'' functions as a passive. ====Verbal noun==== The Old Albic verb has a single infinite form, the ''verbal noun'', an inanimate noun referring to the action/event/state denoted by the verb. The verbal noun is formed by adding the suffix '''-°nth''' to the verb stem. The arguments of the verbal noun are coded as possessors, with the agent appearing in the genitive case and the patient in the partitive or locative case: '''hatanth ndarol chvanas''' 'the biting of the man by the dog' The locative case of the verbal noun is used in a way similar to a participle. Herein, the semantic role of the noun modified by the locative verbal noun is indicated by a genitive or partitive/locative pronoun referring back to the head noun: '''ndaro terenthelo sorolo''' 'a seeing man' (lit., 'a man at his (gen.) seeing')<br> '''ndaro terenthelo sololo''' 'a man being seen' (lit., 'a man at his (part.) seeing') ==Syntax== The syntax of Old Albic is characterized by great freedom of word order, due to the rich inflectional morphology of the language, especially its extensive case marking. Nevertheless, there is a basic, unmarked order that is generally adhered to in normal speech as well as prose writing; the full freedom of word order is only exploited in poetry. In the basic order, the heads generally precede their dependents. Thus, adjectives follow nouns, and adverbs and arguments (unless topicalized) follow the verb. ===Clause structure=== ====Phrase order==== The normal phrase order is Verb-Subject-Object (VSO); however, this order is often overridden by ''topicalization'', which moves the topic noun phrase (NP) into sentence-initial position. The topic NP can be any of the core arguments or an oblique argument. Hence, most main clauses practically have the verb in the second position after the topic, but subclauses are usually VSO. In poetry, ''any'' word order can be encountered. ====Zero-agent and zero-object constructions==== In Old Albic, there is neither a passive nor an antipassive voice. Instead, the grammar allows to leave away any (even both) of the core arguments. This also means that the verb takes no conjugation affix corresponding with the deleted NP. Such a construction can still take oblique complements. Thus, the Old Albic equivalent to a zero-agent passive (such as English `The ball is thrown') is the ''zero-agent construction'': the transitive verb is treated like a stative verb with the direct object as the sole core argument. Similarly, a transitive verb an be detransitivized by the ''zero-object construction''. Both constructions can even be combined in order to express notions such as `There was singing'. ====Degrees of volition==== The subject of an active verb can appear in different cases depending on the ''degree of volition''. The normal case marking for a subject of an active verb (except for verbs of perception or emotion) is the ''agentive''; in order to express that the subject is acting accidentally rather than volitionally, it can be put in the ''dative'' case. To ''negated'' verbs, this applies such that the agentive indicates that the subject purportedly fails to act, while the dative indicates that it fails to act out of error, e.g. attempts the action but fails, or forgot about it. Clearly, the dative case is the more neutral and more polite form to use with a negated verb. ''Verbs of perception and emotion'' normally take a ''dative'' subject. The subject, however, can also be put in agentive case to express an act of ''deliberate observation'' rather than cursory perception. For example, '''On nderon terara am chvan''', with dative subject, means 'The man sees the dog', while '''O ndero terara am chvan''', with agentive subject, means 'The man watches the dog'. In a sense, there is a third degree of volition expressed by the ''instrumental''case. This expresses that the subject acts under external force, possibly against its will. If the subject is in instrumental case, the verb takes no agentive conjugation suffix. This is really nothing else than a zero-agent construction with an instrumental adjunct. The instrumental-case 'subject', unlike an agentive or dative subject, can be inanimate. Stative verbs naturally do not distinguish any degrees of volition, and their subjects are always marked with the objective case. ''Fluid'' verbs such as verbs of motion, however, distinguish degrees of volition normally when used as active verbs. Thus, they allow four different case markings on subjects. Examples: {| ||'''O ndero achvamsa.''' (agentive) 'The man has come (volitionally).' |- ||'''On nderon achvamsa.''' (dative) 'The man has come (accidentally).' |- ||'''Ømi nderømi achvam.''' (instrumental) 'The man has come (under force).' |- ||'''Om nderom achvama.''' (objective) 'The man has come (being carried).' |} These examples also demonstrate the different use of conjugation suffixes. ====Nominal predicates==== Nouns and adjectives can be used as predicates. There is no explicit copula; instead, the predicate noun (or adjective) is inflected like a verb. Such predicate nouns are weak stative verbs. The verb stem is the objective stem, agreeing with gender (if animate) and number with the subject. ===The Noun Phrase=== In the noun phrase (NP), the article (if present) goes first; next come numerals. These elements precede the noun. Adjectives and attribute NPs (genitive or locative) follow the noun; so do relative clauses. Demonstratives are always placed at the end of the NP; only relative clauses, if present, are placed after the demonstrative. All elements are inflected to agree with the noun in gender, number and case. Adnominal genitives and locatives are treated like adjectives (suffixaufnahme); however, a possessed noun counts as definite and needs no article - it is in the construct state. Because of this extensive case marking, the elements of the NP can be rearranged quite freely in poetry, even placed at different locations in the clause with the verb or elements of other NPs in between! ====Possession==== There are two kinds of possession in Old Albic: ''alienable'' and ''inalienable'' possession. The difference is that alienably possessed items could be given away, sold, or otherwise change their possessor, while inalienably possessed items could not. Typical alienably possessed items include personal items (such as clothing), money, houses and other things, while body parts are inalienably possessed. Kinship terms also fall into the class of inalienably possessed nouns. These two kinds of possession are expressed differently. An alienable possessor is put in the genitive case, e. g. '''chat leitiros''' 'the wizard's hat', '''sach mas''' 'my shoe'. The common way of expressing inalienable possession is forming a possessor-possessum compound, e. g. '''chvanarath''' 'the dog's head' ('''chvana''' `dog', '''rath''' 'head'), '''manára''' 'my soul' ('''ma''' 'I', '''nára''' 'soul'). Another way of expressing inalienable possession is to put the possessor in the locative case, e. g. '''rath leitiromol''' 'the wizard's head'. ===Subclauses=== ====Relative clauses==== Relative clauses usually follow the NP they modify. The relative clause is linked to the head noun by the particle, which is identical to the definite article and agrees with the gender, case and number of the head noun. In the clause itself, the verb occupies the first position. If the head noun occupies an oblique role in the relative clause, the relative clause contains a ''resumptive pronoun'' that refers back to the head noun. This resumptive pronoun is an anaphoric pronoun that agrees with the head noun in gender. If the head noun occupies a core (agentive or objective) role in the relative clause, the resumptive pronoun is not necessary. Examples: {| ||'''o ndaro o matara am brad''' 'the man who eats the bread' |- ||'''am brad ''am matara o ndaro''''' 'the bread which the man eats' |- ||'''am coth am matara o ndaro am brad tathal''' 'the house which the man eats the bread in' |} Because the relative particle is inflected for the gender, case and number of the head noun, the relative clause can be moved to another position (e.g., to the end of the sentence to avoid center-embedding with nested relative clauses) without causing ambiguity: in the sentence '''O ndero melara im hinim o matara am mbas.''' the relative clause '''o matasa am brad''' can only belong to '''o ndaro''' because '''o''', like '''o ndaro''', is masculine agentive singular (and the verb in the relative clause has a singular agent). If it belonged to the object '''im hinim''', the sentence would be '''O ndaro melara im hinim im materi am brad.''' (Note also that the verb in the relative clause has a plural agent here.) ====Complement clauses==== A complement clause is a clause that serves as the object of a verb (the matrix verb). These follow a similar syntax as relative clauses. The clause is introduced by the particle '''am'''; within the clause, the verb precedes its arguments. The matrix verb takes a singular objective conjugation suffix. Example: '''Terama am matara o ndaro am brad.''' 'I see that the man eats the bread.' However, this construction with a finite verb in the complement clause was already giving way in classical times to a construction with a verbal noun, in which the agent appears in the genitive and the patient in the locative case: '''Terama matanth amal bradal os ndaros.''' 'I see (the) eating of the bread by the man.' ==Selected Conlang mailing list articles on Old Albic== ''Attention'': The older of these posts predate later revisions of the language and are now partly out of date. * (2004/06/22) [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0406A&L=conlang&P=R1449 Suffixaufnahme] * (2004/06/23) [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0406D&L=conlang&P=R2756 Some bits on Old Albic culture] * (2004/06/24) [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0406D&L=conlang&P=R7972 Something about Albic religion and demonology] * (2004/07/27) [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0407D&L=conlang&P=R15311 Degrees of volition in Old Albic] * (2005/05/20) [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0502C&L=CONLANG&P=R17236&I=-3&m=120227 Some calendar and mythology stuff] * (2005/08/07) [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0508a&L=conlang&F=&S=&P=10112 Fluid-S pivot] * (2005/09/04) [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0509a&L=conlang&F=&S=&P=10933 An autosegmental view of the vowel features] ==Old Albic texts== These texts are old and written in a partly outdated version of the language. * [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0410d&L=conlang&F=&S=&P=9827 Babel Text] * [http://steen.free.fr/relay10/old_albic.html Am talal am ñgohama ara am henam] (from the 10th Conlang Translation Relay) * [http://www.theiling.de/conlang/relay11/old_albic.html A kitchen recipe] (from the 11th Conlang Translation Relay) [[Category:Albic]] [[Category:LLL]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Category:Albic 1223 8517 2006-04-18T20:55:09Z WeepingElf 43 The '''Albic''' language family constitutes the main conlanging project of [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]].

There arises no new phonemes, since '''*aw/*âw''' merge with '''*ow/*ôw''' as [o:]. : '''*a(:)w > o(:)w''' : '''*e(:)w > o(:)w''' : '''*i(:)w > u(:)w''' : '''*yw > uw''' <big>Monophthongization</big> All '''*VjC '''and''' *VwC''' sequences become '''V:C''', but there arises only one new phoneme /æ:/ from '''*ajC'''. As a result of these changes the secondary palatals become distinct phonemes. <big>Assimilation of [ɣ]</big> The [ɣ] allophone of /g/ merges with /j/ after /æ(:)/, /e(:)/ and /i(:)/ but with /w/ after other vowels. <big>Labiodentalization of palatalized labials</big> Palatalized labial stops become labiodental fricatives. The [β] allophone of /b/ merges with the new /v/; /mʲ/ merges with /w/. <big>Stopping of [w] (and sometimes [j])</big> Word initially and before vowels /w/ merges with /g/, probably by way of [gw]. Sporadically /j/ becomes /dʲ/ under the same circumstances, suggesting that there existed a dialect where the parallell change of '''j > gj > dʲ''' was general. <big>Loss of unstressed short vowels</big> Unstressed short vowels are weakened and eventually lost. This change is easy to describe, but has far-reaching consequences for the structure of the language. <big>Shortening of unstressed long vowels</big> Unstressed long vowels shorten. Perhaps distinctive stress is lost at the same time. === After loss of unstressed vowels === The consonant clusters that arose through the loss of unstressed short vowels are partly simplified through assimilation, dissimilation or loss. <big>Loss of cluster-medial consonants</big> In any cluster of three or more consonants the middle consonant(s) drop. <i>Main exceptions:</i> : All /VjC/ become /ViC/ and all /VwC/ become /VuC/ -- there is no ''phonetic'' change, but the /w/ phoneme disappears. : Dentals before '''*j''' merge with the secondary palatals. Also /xʲ/ and /hʲ/ ([ç]?) merge with /sʲ/, and [ɦj] merges with /j/. : After palatals /j/ drops. The transcription of Knoschke however masks this fact. : Non-sibilant consonants before a sibilant drop; thus '''C(C)SC''' becomes '''SC'''. This affects affricates as well, so that they lose their closure part. : A [d] next to an obstruent becomes [ɾ], except if that obstruent is [d], [z] or [ʒ]. <big>Assimilations</big> Progressive voicing assimilation between obstruents; /ʔ/ counts as a voiceless obstruent. Complete assimilation of /ʔ/ to any neighboring consonants, except for /ʔ/ + sibilant which becomes an affricate. <big>Fricative and stop cluster reorganization</big> All clusters of obstruent + obstruent become fricative + stop. Exceptions: :: '''pp, tt, kk, bb, dd, gg, ff, xx''' remain. :: '''bv/vb > bb, gɣ/ɣg > gg, pf/fp > ff, kx/xk > xx'''. <big>Assimilation of /h/ to fricatives</big> /h/ is wholly assimilated to an adjacent fricative. After an affricate this means loss of /h/. Non-affricate sibilants become geminate. <big>Sibilants become affricates after sonants</big> Sonant + sibilant becomes sonant + affricate. <big>Palatalization assimilation/dissimilation</big> Secondary palatals before non-palatalized sounds are de-palatalized, while dentals and velars before secondary palatals become palatals. <big>Labial > /v/ after velars</big> Velar + labial becomes velar + /v/. <big>Rise of new voiceless stops and voiceless sonants</big> Any stop + /h/ or /h/ + stop becomes a voiceless aspirated stop, and sonant + /h/ or /h/ + sonant becomes a voiceless sonant. Initial voiceless or voiced stops not standing in a cluster or followed by '''r/l/ɾ''' become voiceless aspirated stops. <big>Loss of initial nasals before consonants</big> An initial nasal + voiceless stop becomes aspirated voiceless stop. An initial nasal before a voiced stop is lost. An initial nasal before a liquid becomes a voiced stop. <big>Assimilation of nasals to preceding stops</big> /t/ + nasal becomes /tt/. Also /pm/ becomes /pp/ but /pn/ remains. Labial, dental or palatal voiced stop + nasal becomes geminate nasal with the point of articulation of the stop, while /g/ + nasal becomes/remains /gn/. <big>Loss of initial sonants before stops</big> An initial sonant before a stop is lost. <big>Simplification of initial geminates</big> Initial geminates are simplified. <big>Metathesis of initial consonant + sibilant</big> Where an initial consonant is followed by a sibilant the two sounds metathesize, so that the sibilant comes to stand before the other consonant. <big>Rise of geminate sonants</big> Clusters of '''l''' and another sonant become geminated '''ll''': '''nl/ln/rl/lr/ɾl/lɾ > ll'''. In clusters of two nasals the first is assimilated to the second: '''mn > nn''', '''nm > mm'''. A nasal preceding a rhotic ([r] or [ɾ]) is assimilated to the following sound: '''nr/nɾ/mr/mɾ > rr'''. The trill [r] is reanalysed as a geminate sound /rr/ when following a vowel '''Vr > Vrr'''. At the same time the tap [ɾ] when following a vowel is reanalysed as a non-geminate /r/ '''Vɾ > Vr'''. In other contexts the two sounds [r] and [ɾ] merge, probably realized either as a trill or tap depending on context. <big>Rise of vowel tenseness distinction and loss of vowel length</big> The distinction of length in stressed vowels is replaced by a tenseness distinction, while all short vowels are laxed. There are some mergers: * ɪ/e > e * ɛ/æ/æː > ɛ * a/a: > a * ʊ/o > o * ɔ > /ɔ/ <big>Merger and reallocation of /i/ and /ɨ/</big> The two phonemes /i/ and /ɨ/ merge, so that the new phoneme is realized as [i] after secondary palatals and /j/ and as [ɨ] elsewhere. Later initial /ji/ becomes [i], so that a new marginal surface distinction between the two sounds arises. <big>Loss of /ʔ/ and /ɦ/ and rise of new diphthongs and long vowels</big> /ʔ/ and /ɦ/ disappear, giving rise to a great variety of new diphthongs. High mid vowels become high before and after other vowels ('''eV > jV, Ve > Vi,oV > wV/vV, Vo > Vu''', except '''ee > e: and oo > o:''' giving '''Vi''' and '''Vi''' diphthongs. By contrast low-mid and low vowels merge completely with a preceding vowel '''Va/Vɛ/Vɔ > V:''' give new long vowels. Another source of long vowels is /h/ following vowels, since '''Vh''' becomes '''V:'''. This also gives rise to new non-diphthongal vowel sequences, e.g. '''jéa''' 'one' '''< *jiha < *î`qha'''. Initial /h/ remains. It is also likely that a non-phonemic [ʔ] remains before initial vowels when the preceding word ends in a vowel. <big>Final vowel + simple nasal becomes nasalized vowel</big> <big>Final geminates are simplified</big> <big>Rise of epenthetic vowels</big> When a sonant follos another consonant at the end of a word an epenthetic vowel arises as follows: :before /r l n v/ the epenthetic vowel is /ɔ/ ('''ò'''); :before /rʲ ʎ ɲ/ the epenthetic vowel is /ɛ/ ('''è'''); :before /m/ the epenthetic vowel is /u/. <big>De-fricativization of final '''v'''</big> Final '''Vv''' becomes '''Vw''', with '''uv''' becoming '''û'''. === Noric words 26.6.2005 === '''*`abî''' Num twelve '''> ave'''<br> '''*`abîdxa''' Num twelfth '''> ave&#382;'''<br> '''*a`cu''' Num ten '''> ho'''<br> '''*a`cudxa''' Num tenth '''> hod&#382;'''<br> '''*a`mâ''' N mother '''> ma > mama'''<br> '''*`anta''' Num five '''> ant'''<br> '''*`antadxa''' Num fifth '''> and&#382;'''<br> '''*a`tê''' pron I (1st pers.sing.)

In the author's description of Ithkuil: ''"A Philosophical Design for a Hypothetical Language"'', it appears as a cross between an [[a priori]] [[philosophical language]] and a [[logical language]]. The creator attempts to show how human languages could or may function. Ithkuil is designed to convey large amounts of linguistic information using fewer and shorter words than naturally-evolved languages; most sentences in other languages will be shorter when translated into Ithkuil. ==Language description== *'''Lexicon''': The lexicon potentially consists of about 3,600 [[Root|word roots]] (of which only about a thousand are implemented so far), each consisting of 2 or 3 [[consonant]]s; any root may be changed by extremely complex rules of grammar that make it possible to create a large number of [[Derivation|derivative]]s. *'''Phonology''': Ithkuil uses a complicated [[phonology|phonological]] system (65 [[consonant]]s and 17 [[vowel]]s) based on sounds from a variety of languages such as [[Chechen]] or [[Abkhaz]]. It may be very difficult for a speaker of a typical western Indo-European language to pronounce some of the sounds. *'''Morphophonology''': Ithkuil is primarily [[synthetic language|synthetic]] and secondarily [[agglutinative]]. Ithkuil [[morphophonology]] utilizes both [[Consonant_mutation|consonantal]] and vocalic mutation, shifts in syllabic stress and tone, and many different kinds of [[affix]]es, including prefixes, suffixes, infixes and interfixes. ==Possible advantages== The [[Sapir-Whorf hypothesis]] states that the language that a person speaks may affect his way of thinking. Stanislav Kozlovsky speculates<sup>[http://www.computerra.ru/offline/2004/550/34762/]</sup> that a fluent speaker of Ithkuil, accordingly, would think up to five times faster than a speaker of a typical natural language. One may also argue that, Ithkuil being an extremely precise, [[synthetic language|synthetic]] language, its speaker would also have a clearer and deeper understanding of the world. There exists no human who can speak Ithkuil, including its creator: “I don't speak Ithkuil, never have, never will, never claimed to.” — said John Quijada <sup>[http://www.spinnoff.com/zbb/viewtopic.php?p=220511&#220151]</sup>. After the publication of an article about Ithkuil in the Russian magazine ''Computerra''<sup>[http://www.computerra.ru/offline/2004/550/34762/]</sup>, several Russian-speakers contacted Quijada and expressed interest in learning the language. Quijada recently stated <sup>[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0507b&L=conlang&D=0&P=4360]</sup> that he has "worked out a complete revision of the language's morpho-phonology to reduce the number of phonemes from 82 to 62 in order to make the language easier to pronounce (as requested by several people who claim they want to learn it)", but will not have time to revise the reference grammar website for some time to come. == References == *[http://www.computerra.ru/offline/2004/550/34762/ «&#1057;&#1082;&#1086;&#1088;&#1086;&#1089;&#1090;&#1100; &#1084;&#1099;&#1089;&#1083;&#1080;», &#1057;&#1090;&#1072;&#1085;&#1080;&#1089;&#1083;&#1072;&#1074; &#1050;&#1086;&#1079;&#1083;&#1086;&#1074;&#1089;&#1082;&#1080;&#1081;] — (Russian) ''Speed of thought'' by Stanislav Kozlovsky, ''Computerra'', &#8470;26-27, June 20, 200 ==External link== * [http://www.ithkuil.net/ithkuil-intro.htm Ithkuil grammar] [[Category:A priori conlangs]] Senyecan Alphabets 1239 52882 2010-03-31T09:54:01Z Tropylium 756 null redirect #REDIRECT [[Senjecan alphabets]] Bâzrâmani 1240 43151 2009-02-15T09:37:40Z Melroch 31 [[Baazraamani]] moved to [[Bâzrâmani]] = Bâzrâmani (or Bazramæni) = {{last changed}} Note that this Romano-Persian lang has undergone a name change.

Its history stretches back to the mid 1990s when Andrew Smith set out to devise a conlang that would plausibly answer the question <i>what would a modern British Romance language look and sound like?</i> Akin to French, which is Vulgar Latin on a Gaulish substrate; he ended up with [[Brithenig]], Vulgar Latin on a Brythonic substrate. In short order, Brithenig was given some speakers and a country to be spoken in. In late 1997, several Interested Persons began discussing the language with Andrew. Within a few years, the language itself was largely settled and other people began to take an interest in the wider world. As of last count, some threesocre people have left their mark on this shared world. While the project began as a conlanger's collaboration, and indeed the present iteration of the project is home of many conlangs, the languages themselves no longer play such a central role. Cultural and historical description is now the order of the day.

Indeed, the other way around would be more logical. However, in Wenedyk I finally decided to stick with what I already had: *VL '''ē''' and '''oe''' match with CS '''ě''' *VL '''ĕ''' and '''ae''' match with CS '''e''' I know it is against my own advise, and I seriously contemplated the change. But my ultimate conclusion was that it would change Wenedyk beyond recognisability. And frankly, also beyond my taste; strange enough almost every example I tried with the "new" system just felt plain wrong to my intuition. So I decided to keep the old system. And I'm happy with it. ;) :''OTOH I do think it's realistic to have VL ō become '''u''' since in CS *u<sub><small>2</small></sub> developed from *ō which in turn developed from *au, and VL au in fact merged with ō, so that the product of this merger could have been qualitatively identified with CS *ō < *au before this was raised to [u].'' I agree, that's totally realistic. Frankly, I can't see why there should by any tension between this and point 1. If anything, the fronted counterpart of this would be '''e''' > '''i''', which frequently happens in Slezan. :''I'm now quite certain that ''unstressed'' VL ē and ō merge with ĭ and ŭ (*ь and *ъ) respectively -- ''except'' in absolute final position, since I need to "preserve" certain endings, notably the ablative singular of the second declension, the first person singular present indicative of verbs and the nom/acc plural of the third declension.'' That's an interesting thought. I haven't thought about that. Can you come up with a few samples? I just might adopt this idea into Wenedyk (provided that I won't have to rewrite 1/3 of my entire lexicon). :''I've cheated with the liquid metathesis, having no qualitative change. As JvS pointed out Mrác's ancestors should have been MORTIUS rather than MARTIUS! Should I let myself get away with this?'' Why not? Names tend to behave a little differently from "normal" vocabulary. Another thing is that often names are from much later date than the era of the Roman (even in romlangs). And finally, ''Mrác'' could have other sources in Latin as well: Mǐratius or whathaveyou. :''Consonants: I have decided that VL dj and gj become '''j''' à la Slovene since Slvanjec badly needs postvocalic '''j'''s. So '''dz''' is out; MEDIUS becomes '''mjej''' and Mr. '''Hrodzán''' becomes '''Hroján'''; also MAGIS becomes '''maj''' by way of *MAGIUS. '' A very sensible choice! I didn't know it happens in Slovene as well, but I dó know that it is standard in (most?) Romance languages. In fact, I think it is a great improvement; according to my sources, ''dj'' and ''gj'' were already pronounced /j/ in the Vulgar Latin period (Italian forms like ''maggio'' IIRC seem to be later scientific reborrowings). <br>And of course, you always have the option of turning ''dj'' into ''dz'' anyway in certain cases, which then can very simply be explained as an early scientific reborrowing! :''Last but not least I have cheated with the third palatalization and VL ct, assuming '''c, z''' in ''all'' contexts.

What do you think? Is such an over-generalization permissible in a hybrid language? '' IMO it is. It's your language after all. Especially because Slvanjec is based on Slovak far more loosely than Wenedyk is based on Polish, I think you have quite some freedom in setting some of your own rules when that helps the final result.

Again, I agree. I've given it a little thought and finally decided against it.

I can't give any conclusive answer. From what I understood from Grzegorz Jagodziński's pages (if I recall correctly), third palatalisation happens very irregularly and most often doesn't take place at all. <br>But the way you formulated it, I got the impression that there are also exceptions to the KT > TS rule.

Cheers, [[User:IJzeren Jan|IJzeren Jan]] 12:30, 18 Jul 2005 (PDT) :Basically that same book as had strange ideas on the contexts of palatalization also had the idea that originally only *kti/*ktī becomes '''c''i'''''. ::The idea with the preceding monphthong/diphthong was of course meant to explain ''why'' 3d palatalization is irregular -- basically claiming that it is regular, but that it actually precedes monophthongization, and this influences its occurrence, to which the Havlišes objected. BPJ 13:41, 18 Jul 2005 (PDT) == Jan II.'s comments == I am far from being competent to introduce your Slavo-romance discussion, but I can add some hints on history of Slavic lang: '''On III. palatalisation:''' It happens after '''i''', '''soft jer''' and '''e-nasal''' if the palatalised consonant is followed by vowel. If there is cluster '''V-C-hard jer''' (grěšnica X grěšnikU) or '''V-C-y''' (kUne.ndzI X kUne.gyni), the terminal '''hard jer''' or '''y''' prevented palatalisation of C, when V fulfils conditions for it. Quite often morphological “equilibration” has happened (nom. grěšnikU, gen. grěšnika). Quite often appeared doubletons (je.ga/je.dza). It should happen along with II. palatalisation, although there are not unified opinions on when in happened. It is also unclear when it begun. What is sure, it happened almost '''100 years after''' monophthongisation. And here is the discussed topic, the Slavic glottochronology. The source 2 is newer and I found it more competent because of other issues. And for sure, source 2 knew source 1 and used it. source 1 – G.

Check. So far I got things right in Slvanjec. :''terminal '''hard jer''' or '''y''' prevented palatalisation '' Alas I wasn't aware of this restriction, hence the name of the lang is not '''Slvanjek ''' < SILVÁNICUM, and because the name of the lang is quite well established I'm ''very'' reluctant to "correct" this. Perhaps it will be permissible to over-apply 3. palatalization in a hybrid language, since having -ICUM become '''-jec''' rather than '''-jek''' gives a more distinct "flavor" to the language compared to other Romance languages! One possible reason might be that the Roman contingent in the original mix of peoples didn't grasp the restriction and over-generalized the palatalization, but alas that doesn't tally very well with the dating you give -- even though I'm suspicious of any absolute dating of pre-historic changes! Another possibility is that Vulgar Latin short U (hard jer) became a schwa-like sound earlier than what happened in true Slavic languages and so failed to block the 3. palatalization. In a way I ''would'' now have liked Slevan to agree better both with Wenedyk and the Slavic languages in this respect, but OTOH I feel a reversal of this feature to be too drastic at this point. Also I don't want there to be too few instances of '''c''' and '''z''' in Slevan, and input to the 2. palatalization is already scarce as it is. What do you (both) think? [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] -- written at the library and hence no proper log-in or signing! :-( ::Why not to implement some "morphological equilibrations"? E.g. the genitive forms underwent the palatalisation and had affected the nominatives... thus it would be _slvanjec_ and not _slvanjek_ (I deduce, that NOM.SING had ending -ekU, but the genitive had vowel other than U or y). Or you may simply ignore this restriction (see, only one vowel _u_ in both forms '''u''' /ECSL/ > '''U''' /CCSL/ or '''u:''' > '''y''' stopped the III. palatalisation). [[User:Jan II.|Jan II.]] :::There was analogical leveling out between the second and fourth declension, so that at some point the gen.sg. of all words from the 2. declension became '''-y''', e.g. '''slváncy'''; otherwise it would be **'''slvánczi'''. Also the -ICU ending does not become -ekU, but the '''je''' is from a strong soft jer. I looks like I will simply ignore this restriction, but I still would like an explanation for doing so. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 09:26, 19 Aug 2005 (PDT) === Jan I's comments on Jan II's comments and on Benct's comments to Jan II's comments === First of all, thanks for the interesting scheme you provided, Jan. If I may ask: which of the two columns has your own preference? And where do prof. Večerka's opinions fit? Regarding third palatalisation: like I said before, I don't use it very often in Wenedyk. Grzegorz Jagodziński's pages were not clear about the circumstances under which it occurs, and therefore I mostly adopted the notion that it happens "irregularly". In other words, I use it when it fits my taste. Jan II's input might cause some changes, though: I didn't know all that either, but it makes sense. All in all, I think the principle of "analogical levelling" gives us plenty of space to follow our own tastes. Indeed, both Wenedyk and Slezan use something based on '''Slьvanьkъ''', fem. '''Slьvanьka'''. That might have spawned something like '''*slvanjek, *slvanjca''', which then became '''Ślewanik''', '''Ślewańka''' in Wenedyk and '''Slvanjec''', '''Slvanjca''' in Slevan. Of course, there '''is''' a remote possibility of having the whole pair. Say, '''slvanjek''' for the adjective, and '''slvanjec''' for the language (from '''LINGUA SILVANICA > *lęgva sьlvanьka > ljadzva slvanjca'''). Since I recently got into contact with Grzegorz himself, I might as well ask him personally what he thinks about 3rd palatalisation. --[[User:IJzeren Jan|IJzeren Jan]] 06:25, 20 Aug 2005 (PDT) ====Benct's comments on Jan I's comments on...==== Of course it is not the 3. palatalization that applies irregularly, but analogical levelling that happens irregularly! It is a very good idea that analogy in Slevan may have started from the feminine. I didn't think of that! Alas the name of the language can hardly be derived from '''LINGUA SILVANICA''': that would be adjectival use while language ''names'' in Latin are normally neuter; that's why you have '''Latinum, Italiano, Español, Français''', not '''Latina, Italiana, Española, Française'''. BTW the current form of the feminine is '''Slvánca''' -- one of the changes between version 3 and 3.5.

If I may ask: which of the two columns has your own preference? And where do prof. Večerka's opinions fit?'' As I said, the second column has my definite preferences. Our old Slavistic/Indoeuropeistic gang in Brno (Večerka-Lamprecht-Blažek) seems to be quite reliable. They included lots of new findings, which made their work quite rigorous. The is already a new generation (Rejzek-Palasová), with them I am in contact (although it looks they are not happy with any slaviconlanging). I have also ordered within amazon.co.uk a book about Slavic glottochronology by Alexander M. Schenker, but amazon is VERY slow in obtaining the copy for me. Problems with III. palatalisation might be that different Slavic langs treated differently the new forms, as mentioned above. [[User:Jan II.|Jan II.]] ==== Input from Grzegorz Jagodziński ==== I asked Grzegorz Jagodziński (whose pages about Polish sound changes were a major inspiration to me in the creation of Wenedyk) about his opinion.

I know only two examples from OCS (Old Church Slavonic): ''mŕ̥cati'' 'to grow dusk' and ''rastŕ̥zati'' (''rastŕ̥ʒati'') 'to tear up'. Equivalents in other Slavic languages (including Polish) don't have palatalisation (Old Polish ''mierzkać'', now ''zmierzchać się'' with irregular ''ch'' instead of ''k''). Perhaps this is due to the fact that in West Slavic sonants appeared later, while in East Slavic they never appeared at all. After all, palatalisation ought not to take place after the group ''-ьr-''; and it didn't. Not surprisingly, there were also differences between dialects: even the 2nd palatalisation didn't take place identically in all Slavic languages: ''*kwaita- &gt; *květъ || *cvětъ'' (Polish ''kwiat'', but Russian ''cvet''). Besides, forms like ''kěna'' instead of Common Slavic ''cěna'' are known in the neighbourhood of Novgorod. So, perhaps there were dialects that did not undergo 2nd palatalisation at all.</FONT> <FONT color=#008000>If there is cluster '''V-C-hard jer''' (grěšnica X grěšnikU) or '''V-C-y''' (kUne.ndzI X kUne.gyni), the terminal '''hard jer''' or '''y''' prevented palatalisation of C, when V fulfils conditions for it. Quite often morphological “equilibration” has happened (nom. grěšnikU, gen. grěšnika). Quite often appeared doubletons (je.ga/je.dza).</FONT> <FONT face="Arial Unicode MS" size=2>If 3rd palatalisation was indeed prevented by ''y'' or ''ъ'', we would have expected it when followed by another vowel. But ''-ika'' and ''-ica'' occur almost equally often! Likewise, we can equally often encounter -''ьca'' and ''-ьka, ''-''ьce'' and ''-ьko'', etc. For example: ''*polьʒa'' 'use' (OCS), but ''*ulьga'' 'relief' (Polish, with a different prefix); Old Polish has simultaneously ''jajce'' and ''jajko'' 'egg', ''miejsce'' and ''miastko'' ('place'; &lt; ''*městьce'' || ''*městьko''), etc. In my opinion one needs to look for: 1) morphological conditions (as assumed already by Jan Otrębski, who died in 1971), 2) dialectal differences. Here are a few examples: * ''*děvica'', but ''*děvьka'' (OCS ''děvica'' 'virgin, girl', Pol. ''dziewica'' 'virgin', ''dziewka'' 'girl' (a little oldfashioned) - note that neither ''*děvikъ'' nor ''*děvьkъ'' exists, * ''*žitnica'' 'stodoła' (OCS, ''żytnica'' was known even in Old Polish, I think), but (OCS) ''bližika'' 'close relative', ''ǫžika'' 'id. (relative)' - one can see that ''-ica'' is an impersonal noun and ''-ika'' a personal noun; however, we also have ''*děvica'' (personal!), * OCS has ''naricaty'' 'to be called', ''dviʒati'' 'to move', Polish has only ''narzekać'' (with an entirely different meaning), ''dźwigać'', * the hard jer didn't prevent palatalisation at all: ''*otьcь'' 'father', ''*zajęcь'' 'hare', ''*měsęcь'' 'month, moon', ''*pěnęʒь'' 'coin' (borrowed from Germanic), ''*kъnęʒь'' 'prince', ''*vьśь'' 'whole, entire' - all these words are derived from forms with hard stems: ''*otьkъ, *zajękъ, *měsękъ, *pěnęgъ, *kъnęgъ, *vьxъ'' - and none of these forms was preserved in any of the Slavic languages. As you can see, it cannot be said that -''ъ'' stops 3nd palatalisation automatically. Of course, we almost exclusively have forms on -''ikъ'', and if the word in question is a male person , then the female equivalent is -''ika'', not ''-ica''. This is of course mainly a matter of equalising the forms of both genders. However, when the masculine form has a different meaning than the feminine form, or when only one of these forms exists, then this equalisating does not take place (compare Polish ''kierownik'' 'boss, chief' (person) with ''kierownica'' 'steering wheel' - the female person is ''kierowniczka''). As for palatalisation being prevented by -y, things get more complicated. There are preciously little formants that start with ''-y-''. Above all, we have the formant ''-y'', gen. ''-ъve'' (f.ex.: ''*kry, *krъve'') or ''-ene'' (f.ex. ''*kamy, *kamene''), as well as the formant ''-yni''. Little nouns of this type existed in Common Slavic, and their inflection was complicated and not very transparant. Therefore a tendency existed to preserve the forms without 3rd palatalisation. However, things are more complicated than that. In Polish we have for example the masculine nouns ''obrońca, władca'' 'defender' resp. 'ruler' with their female equivalents ''obrończyni, władczyni''. It is hard to tell whether these forms are Common Slavic - the Polish forms would suggest a rivalling affix ''-ini'' (and 1st palatalisation): ''*obornьca, *voldьca : *obornьčini, *voldьčini &lt; *-ikā : *-ikīnī''. Obviously ''-y'' does not prevent palatalisation when it constitutes an ending: instr.pl. ''*vĺ̥ky'' 'wolves', ale ''*otьci'' 'fathers'. When necessary OCS adds the endings of the soft declension like in the acc.pl. ''*otьcę'' (according to *''mǫžę''), but ''*vĺ̥ky''. This also testifies that the choice between palatalised and non-palatalised forms is conditioned morphologically rather than phonetically. As for these dialectal differences: forms with 3rd palatalisation occur in Old Church Slavonic more frequently than in Polish, where either the process was weaker or the effect of analogy was stronger. Polish remained unwritten for a longer time, and as long as there was no literary tradition, it was easier to replace forms with 3rd palatalisation by equalised forms without palatalisation.</FONT> <FONT color=#008000>It should happen along with II. palatalisation, although there are not unified opinions on when in happened.

Czesław Bartula (''Podstawowe wiadomości z gramatyki staro-cerkiewno-słowiańskiej na tle porównawczym'', PWN Warszawa 1981) gives: * 1st palatalisation: beginning of our era (1 A.D.) - turn of the 2nd/3rd century (200 A.D.) * 2nd palatalisation: 4th - 6th century * 3rd palatalisation: end of 7th century Zdzisław Stieber (''Zarys gramatyki porównawczej języków słowiańskich'', Warszawa 1969) gives a different chronology: * 1st palatalisation: 3rd and 4th century * 2nd palatalisation: "after the 6th century", i.e. the 7th of 8th century * 3rd palatalisation: beginning of the 8th century The confusion of PIE ''a, o &gt; a'' is generally considered a very old phenomenon, dating back to the Proto-Indo-European era. After all, the vowels ''a'' and ''o'' kept their distinctness only in the Italic and Celtic languages as well as in Greek; everywhere else they got confused (even in Anatolian and in Tocharian). One should of course add PIE schwa here (with the exception of syllables near the end of a word, where it usually disappeared). Also, there is no reason at all to reconstruct ''å'' in the old days: even in the period of Slavic expansion it was most certainly pronounced as a short ''a''! Personally I believe that the rounding of Slavic ''a &gt; o'' is a phenomenon dating back to the years 700-800, shortly before the appearance of the oldest written sources in Slavic. In any case, 1st palatalisation was already dead when the Slavs got in touch with the Goths. Indeed, at the moment I can think of only one example of a Germanic loan that underwent 1st palatalisation: ''*šelmъ'' (Old Polish ''szłom'', nowadays only ''hełm'' 'helmet', from Germanic ''*xelmaz''). Otherwise, words of Gothic descent only have 2nd palatalisation: ''ocьtъ'' 'vinegar' from Gothic ''aket'', ''*cęta'' from Gothic ''kintus'' 'name of a small coin'. 1st palatalisation was most certainly already dead by the time of Slavic expansion, which could have started a little before the year 500 A.D. In any case, when the ancestors of the Slovenians reached the territories where they live nowadays, they borrowed the name of the river ''Gīla'' as ''Zilja''. Also, I don't understand why Lamprecht dates the appearance of nasals so late. As it seems, at least the appearance of ''ę'' must have preceded 3rd palatalisation: after all, it's easier to imagine the process ''-ęk- &gt; -ęc-'' niż ''-enk- &gt; -enc-''. The disappearance of nasals happens of course not in all Slavic languages: even nowadays nasals exist in Polish, and also in certain Slovenian dialects (hardly known to anybody). Finally, the contraction VjV was an irregular process, conditioned by usage frequency or by morphological factors. Even nowadays we have Russian ''stojat''' = Polish ''stać''. And even in Polish we have, next to the infinitives ''wiać, stać, bać się'', the uncontracted forms ''wieje, stoję, boję się''. Numerous other forms did not undergo contraction at all: ''kajać się, krajać'', even though contraction of ''-aja-'' seems easier than contraction of ''-oja-'' (''*stojati, *bojati sę'') or ''-ěja-''. At last, the "vocalisation of jers" is a very imprecise concept. First of all, it didn't follow the same pattern in the various languages: in Russian and Polish the strong jers (on the even positions counting from the end of a word) mixed with other vowels. But in Bulgarian the hard jer kept its own, different pronunciation. In Polabian, on the other hand, jers in the first syllable were preserved as vowels with a particular colour. In some cases initial jers were kept in the East Slavic languages. In Kashubian and in the Sorbian languages there is the principle, that in words with more than two syllables the two final jers are weak. Thus, the changes of the jers happened differently (and in different times) in the various Slavic languages, and they don't have much in common with the Common Slavic era. Similar remarks can be made about "metathesis" of liquids, which in East Slavic was no metathesis at all (but the insertion of a full vowel instead). We know that something similar happened also in Old Polish, namely f.ex. ''*-or- &gt; *-ъro-'', and not immediately ''-ro-'' as it was once assumed. OCS kept a number of unmetathesised forms (albeit ''alkati''). Likewise ''-ar-'' is the norm in Kashubian, and certain words were kept in Polish until recently (''karw'', now entirely out of use and supplanted by ''wół'' 'ox' and ''byk'' 'bull').</FONT> ==== Jan II.'s comments on Input from Grzegorz Jagodziński ==== My Polish is nothing special, but I already see there few issues: 1) Polish did not preserve old Slavic nasals, but they appeared ''de novo'' in similar or same position. That is what you can read in any historical glottochronology of Slavic, AFAIK. 2) Pleophony (polnoglasie) also went through metathesis of liquids, but went further (better, different way), according to my knowledge. Definitelly, I need to read it in English :p and with Shevelov and Lamprecht by the hand ;) Anyway, if Slavists agree on anything one day, that would be a reason for a big festivity with flags, brass band and gallons of mead :)))) Jan II. ==== And comments from Grzegorz Jagodziński himself ==== My cordial greeting to everyone here, 1) Polish DID preserve old Slavic nasals. I do not know what literature you have studied but you (and the authors of the books) are simply wrong. However, there are two things everybody should know if he wants to tell people things on Polish nasals. a) There were 2 nasal vowels in Common Slavic (or, Late Proto-Slavic), that is nasal ''e'' and nasal ''o'' (there are views according to which there were 4 nasals initially, those two plus nasal ''i'' and nasal ''u'' but it is nowhere attested). At the very end of Proto-Slavic language community there were 4 nasals again, as the two vowels both had two variants - a short one and a long one (it was connected with Slavic intonation) [anyway, it was so in the Western and Southern branches]. In prehistoric Polish (prehistoric means before any written documents were written) the nasals merged, preserving their length. So, in the Middle Age we had two nasals: a short one and a long one. Notice that they had never lost their nasality up to those time and the view that they appeared "de novo" is exotic. In the beginning of the Modern Age all pairs of short and long vowels differentiated in their pronunciation place or / and level while the length became the same for all vowels. Some of the differences have survived until the modern language: ''ó'' (earlier long ''o'') is pronounced just like ''u'' now, and the previous long nasal is ''ą'' ("nasal ''o''" - the spelling is confusive) while the previous short nasal is ''ę'' ("nasal ''e''"). b) To tell the truth, in modern Polish, no nasal vowels exist at all (contrary to French for example). Instead, groups of a slightly nasalized vowel and a consonant are pronounced. For example, ''trąba'' reads [tromba], and ''kąta'' (gen.sg. of ''kąt'' 'corner') and ''konta'' (nom.pl. of ''konto'' 'account') are pronounced the same. Before a spirant (mainly s, z) and word-finally a nasal diphthong is pronounced, the second part of which is a kind of nasal [w] or a kind of fricative [&#331;] (nga). c) Despite the point b, it is commonly said that Polish is the only Slavic language which has never lost nasals. It is so because nasals became oral vowels in all the other Slavic languages (except some Slovene dialects, to be exact, but not in the literary Slovene). Even if old Slavic nasal vowels are not nasal vowels any longer in Polish, they are still nasal. 2) The hypothesis about polnoglasie is also wrong. The argument is the development of Polish prepositions. As you surely know, a yer was in a weak position when the next syllable contained a "full" vowel, a strong yer, or if the yer was a final vowel (a vowel in a final syllable). And a yer was strong before a syllable with a weak yer. Some Polish propositions have two variants, one of them were used before a word with a weak yer in the initial syllable, and the other were used elsewhere. It is because the composoition of a preposition and a noun developed as a single word. For example ''we/w, ze/z, pode/pod'' etc. Compare ''pode mną'' < ''pod&#1098; m&#1100;noj&#491;'' 'under me' and ''pod tobą'' < ''pod&#1098; toboj&#491;'' 'under you'. In modern Polish analogical development and tendency to eliminate the ''-e'' variants blurred the picture but in Middle Aged Polish we can see clearly what I said. And, if there was a metathesis in the first syllable, the preposition is always in the strong version. If there is a consonant cluster but no yer and no metathesis, the preposition is in the weak version, so the test is correct. Example: ''*(j&#1100;)z&#1098; korljestva > *(j&#1100;)z&#1098; k&#1098;roljestva > ze krolestwa'' (today '' z królestwa''). Please forget any Western literature on Slavic, it is useless most often, especially if you do not know any of the native Slavic literature. It is very pitiful but sometimes the Western authors do not even know any Slavic language. And, as a rule, they heve not even read one book written in a Slavic language. Contrary, the literature on Slavic in Slavic languages is abundant. If you are really interested in Polish historical grammar, you really should start from ''Gramatyka historyczna języka polskiego'' by Z. Klemensiewicz, T. Lehr-Spławiński and S. Urbańczyk, edited many times by PWN (I have the 4th edition from 1981). It is the absolutely basic source of knowledge. Of course it IS in Polish and no one could do anything with this. If you are interested in a (existing) language X, you really must learn it, next you should acknowledge yourself with the literature written in this language. And only then compare your knowledge with the stuff written by Western writers.

(Perhaps '''Zz''' should be used for all instances of {{IPA|/z/}} and '''Ƹƹ''' for all instances of {{IPA|/ʒ/}}?)

I use '''{{IPA|Ʒ ʒ}}''' (''ezh'') provisionally since the capital version of Insular ''G'' is not adopted in Unicode yet, and the small letter also is missing from most Unicode fonts. The preferred shape is shown in this image: [[Image:Nasdzh.gif]] It should be noted that in NAS this letter denotes the phoneme {{IPA|/dʒ/}} and not the phoneme {{IPA|/ʒ/}} which is written as if it were {{IPA|/zj/}} or with '''Ƹƹ'''. == The '''{{IPA|ʃ}}''' character == In place of '''SC sc''' one may use the '''ʃ''' character with its IPA value. Note that it should have a descender, unlike the Latin letter Long s '''ſ''', in order to be maximally distinct from '''f'''. The preferred capital form is {{Esh}}, like a J turned 180 degrees or an Armenian Ր, in order to distinguish it from the lower-case form, and from capital '''S'''. Since this capital form is unavailable in standard fonts the forms '''{{MUFI|}}''' (the Insular capital '''S''') or '''{{IPA|Ʃ}}''' (the 'African' capital '''{{IPA|ʃ}}'''&nbsp;) may be used, though care should be taken to distinguish '''{{MUFI|}}''' from '''{{MUFI|}}/{{IPA|Ʒ}}'''. == Alternative graphies == Letters with acute diacritics may be replaced with digraphs as follows '''á > aa, é > ee, í > ij, ó > eo, ú > ou, ý > yy, œ > oe, {{IPA|ů}} > uo, å > oa'''. '''Þ, þ''' may be replaced with '''Th th''', '''{{Esh}} ʃ''' may be replaced with '''Sh sh''' or '''Sj sj''' and '''{{IPA|Ʒ ʒ}}''' may be replaced with '''Cg cg''' or '''Gj gj'''.

[[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] Yasaro (''níñsi jasǎro'') is one of around 70,000 [[Zireen]] languages spoken on the planet Rishai. This is a brief introduction to the language, which will eventually grow to include more aspects of phonology, grammar, and vocabulary. Consonants: {| border=1 cellpadding=5 | p | th [t̪] | t | | č [tʃ] | k |- | m | nh [n̪] | n | | ň [ɲ] | ŋ | ñ* |- | v | l | s [s~z] | r [ʐ] | j | h |} * /ñ/ is the Yasaro syllable-final nasal phoneme, contrasting with /m/ (in some dialects) and /ŋ/. See below for pronunciation. Vowels: {| border=1 cellpadding=5 | i | | u |- | e | | (ɔ) |- | (ɛ) | a | |} Pronunciation of vowel + syllable-final nasal /ñ/: *short vowel + homorganic nasal before stops: ''lèñpa'' = [ˈlɛ̂mba], ''tòñtu'' = [ˈtɔ̂ndɯ] *a long and nasal vowel before fricatives: ''níñsi'' = [ˈnɪ̌ː̃zi], ''kelòñra'' = [keˈlɔ̂ː̃ʐa] *short and non-nasal at end of words: ''jasǎro(ñ)'' = [ʝaˈsǎʐɔ] Final [ɛ] (from -/eñ/) contrasts with /e/ in some words. Before /ñ/, the distinction between /a/ and /u/ is neutralized to an [ɔ] sound, which is represented here as a phoneme /o/ (since it contrasts with both /a/ and /u/ at the ends of words). Pitch accent: Underlying stress can fall on any syllable of the main root, but word-final syllables are never stressed. Stressed syllables on non-final syllables are pronounced with a falling tone. When a word ends with a syllable that would ordinarily be stressed, the preceding syllable gets the stress instead, but is pronounced with a rising tone. The stress remains on the final syllable of the root if a suffix is added (for example, ''tóñpa'' [ˈtɔ̌mba] "head", but ''toñpà-ta'' [tɔmˈpâɾa] "my head"). == Writing == Yasaro is written using the [[Lelimi]] script (Yasaro ''lelímī'' "alphabet"), which is closely related to the Vlika script. The spelling of native Yasaro words is largely based on the pronunciation of an earlier stage of the language, Middle Yasaro, while retaining some features of Old Yasaro pronunciation. Borrowed words are spelled in various ways depending on when the words were borrowed and from which language. Long vowels in modern Yasaro were still diphthongs in the Middle Yasaro period when the spelling conventions were established, so for instance /vǐ:la/ "reed organ" is spelled ‹veilá›, and /čěte:/ "ice" is spelled ‹tletéu›. The spelling of /č/ is especially variable; it developed from various consonant clusters such as /tl/ and /kr/, as well as /k/ before /i/. (Most occurrences of /ki/ in modern Yasaro are from /ke/ in Old Yasaro.) Yasaro spelling also preserves syllable-final consonants which were lost, as in the words /čâ:ŋa/ ‹krávga› "to eat" and /mǐra/ ‹birás› "sun". Double consonants such as ‹ss› and ‹hh› represent lengthened consonants in earlier versions of the language which are pronounced as single consonants in the modern language. The name of the language itself has one of these double consonants: ‹jassavráň›. == Vocabulary == [[Yasaro Colors|Colors]] [[Zireen music]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Zireen 1248 4602 2005-08-06T00:36:46Z Teamouse 37 Zireen are small, furry humanoid people who live on the planet [[Rishai]] (one of the worlds in the alternate reality of [[Azir]]).

While human colors can be more or less represented by combinations of red, green, and blue light (with the exception of some highly saturated colors), Zireen/Sangari color vision has four primary colors. In the Zireen language [[Yasaro]], the names of the primary colors are ''rúsu'', ''kàju'', ''vári'', and ''núri''. Because these are pure spectral colors, we can associate them with human color names: yellow, turquoise, indigo, and ultraviolet. But that is just the start of the complexity. The equivalent of hue in the Zireen/Sangari color system can be represented on the surface of a sphere, with the pure spectral hues on a line winding around the sphere like the seam of a baseball. The primary hues can be placed at non-adjacent corners on an inscribed cube. Intermediate spectral hues can be placed on lines drawn on the surface of the sphere from one primary corner to another: ''nhèňu'' (green) between ''rúsu'' and ''kàju'', ''kìva'' (blue) between ''kàju'' and ''vári'', ''lèvi'' (violet) between ''vári'' and ''núri'', and finally ''sų̀pi'' (no human equivalent) to close the circle from ''núri'' back to ''rúsu''. The remaining corners of the cube can be filled with complementary colors: ''ję́thi'' (the complement of ultraviolet) is a color which appears white to humans, ''číla'' and ''tą́vi'' are combinations of ulraviolet with green and blue, and ''pàmę'' (the complement of turquoise) is another unique Zireen color with no human equivalent. The two remaining faces may be considered as the north and south poles of the sphere; they are unique Zireen colors with no single dominant wavelength. On this diagram, the top color is ''hìŋi'', a combination of yellow and indigo, and the one at the bottom is ''mį̀ru'', a combination of turquoise and ultraviolet.

For purposes of illustration, the elements of Zireen music will be described with anglicized versions of words from the [[Yasaro]] language. Other Zireen languages tend to have similar concepts, although the words used to describe them are different. == Pitch and intervals == The basis for all intervals in Zireen music is the '''tilar''' (Yasaro: ''tílar''), which is a '''tempered octave'''. All other intervals are constructed by subdividing the tilar into smaller parts (such as fifths, fourths, and thirds), according to a rough approximation of the harmonic series, or by stacking two or more of these basic intervals. "Superparticular" intervals (pitch ratios of the form n+1/n) are considered the most basic of the Zireen musical intervals. Note that although these intervals are expressed as pitch ratios, actual Zireen music almost invariably alters these ratios to produce a slight beating effect. This beating ranges from subtle to extreme, but it is almost always present, even in the octaves. === The basic musical intervals === The first division of the tilar produces a pair of intervals called '''napi''' (Yasaro: ''nhàpī''), which correspond to the perfect fifth (3/2) and perfect fourth (4/3). The smaller of a pair of intervals is called a '''muri''', or "shadow", of the larger interval (Yasaro: ''mùri''). The major napi is divided into two '''pindu''' (''pį́tu''), which are the equivalent of the major and minor third, and the shadow napi is divided into two '''laira''' (''lâira''), which are 7-limit intervals: a "subminor third" (7/6) and a "supermajor second" (8/7). Further subdivisions are defined as follows: * '''tondu''' (whole tones): 9/8 (''tą̀tu''), 10/9 (''tą̀tu mùri''). * '''yombi''' (neutral seconds): 11/10 (''ją́pi''), 12/11 (''ją́pi mùri''). * '''chulu''' (13-limit small steps): 13/12 (''čùlu''), 14/13 (''čùlu mùri''). * '''kima''' (semitones): 15/14 (''kíma''), 16/15 (''kíma mùri''). === Tuning systems (''nai'') === The notation and tuning of Zireen music, especially instrumental music, is based on the tradition of music for the '''vila''' (Yasaro: ''vǐla''), a kind of reed organ with an array of round buttons as a keyboard (similar to the arrangement of a button accordion). A particular arrangement of buttons is called a '''nai''' (Yasaro: ''nâi''), and there are many different kinds of nai in Zireen music. As an illustration, nai seret (''nâi sèret'') is an arrangement of buttons associated with what we call '''meantone temperament''', which is a historical tuning based on tempering out the small interval called a '''syntonic comma''' (which has a ratio of 81/80). In Zireen music, nai seret includes intervals down to the size of a shadow laira (supermajor second), which makes it a 7-limit temperament. In addition to 81/80, nai seret also tempers out 126/125 (or equivalently, 225/224). This tempering out of small intervals allows a limited set of buttons to represent a much larger set of theoretical intervals that differ from each other by only small amounts. The slight beating introduced by this detuning is generally considered as a desirable effect, but Zireen cultures vary as to how much beating is desirable. Here is a list of some of the more common nais, with a description of which small intervals are tempered out. * ''nâi hanákī'' ("bug"): 27/25 * ''nâi jùluŋ'' ("father"): 16/15 * ''nâi kénet'' ("mavila"): 135/128 * ''nâi lę̀pa'' ("lemba"): 50/49, 525/512 * ''nâi mahǎli'' ("superpelog"): 49/48, 135/128 * ''nâi pilîna'' ("blacksmith"): 28/27, 49/48 * ''nâi sèret'' ("meantone"): 81/80, 126/125 * ''nâi sį̀kā'' ("keemun"): 49/48, 225/224 === Scales (''yemet'') === While a nai can theoretically include an unlimited number of pitches by extending the array of buttons in the vertical direction, actual music uses only a limited subset of these pitches, in arrangements called '''yemet''' (Yasaro: ''jémet''). Yemets are categorized by the number of different steps of one size or another within the range of a tilar (tempered octave), as well as the variations in the scale pattern as a melody develops. For instance, a particular yemet might have one form when ascending, and a different one when descending, or a different pattern in each octave. A yemet typically has only two different sizes of steps, which are combined in specific numbers to reach an octave, like the diatonic scale of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps in Western music. '''Yemet kerasi''', for instance (Yasaro: ''jémet kerâsi'') is the Zireen equivalent of the pentatonic scale, with 2 large steps and 3 small steps per octave (abbreviated "2+3"); this yemet is typically associated with the button arrangement '''nai seret''' (meantone). '''Yemet veriko''', on the other hand (''jémet vèriką''), is a bizarre scale associated with nai yulung, which has 3 large steps and 2 small steps (3+2). == External links == [http://www.io.com/~hmiller/music/zireen-music.html The music of the Zireen] Category:Slevan 1260 6006 2006-01-03T05:13:48Z Zhen Lin 6 [[Slevan]] is a Slavo-Romance language of [[Ill Bethisad]], created by [[User:Melroch|Benct Philip Jonsson]].

They are descended from a group of Native Americans from what is today North Carolina who emigrated wholesale across the Atlantic c. 1680-1700, followed by a second infusion approx. 1712-1713 under pressure from the Tuscaroras. Their language, possibly identical to the Carolina Siouxan language known to us as Woccon, is still spoken today, though it shows massive lexical replacement and syntactic interference from English. Nevertheless it is the best-preserved and only viable member of this branch of the Siouxan family, and is thus of great interest to comparative linguists as well as to anthropologists. There are currently about a hundred native speakers; it is traditionally written, in limited circumstances (parish records, hymnals, diaries, collections of folktales, and genealogical materials) in a vernacular English-based orthography.

Foreign scholars universally consider '''Kïlda''' to be an [[Wikipedia:Altaic_languages|Altaic language]] -- the family consisting of the [[Wikipedia:Turkic_languages|Turkic]], [[Wikipedia:Mongolic_languages|Mongolian]], and [[Wikipedia:Tungusic_languages|Tungusic]] language groups, and according to some, [[Wikipedia:Korean_language|Korean]] or [[Wikipedia:Japanese_language|Japanese]]. However, contemporary native Kïldamnï scholarship rejects the "Altaic Hypothesis" and considers these three (or five) groups to be related only through prolonged contact and mixing. In any event, it would be safe to say that the Kïlda language is closely related to both Tungusic and Mongolic languages, whether by descent or affiliation. Today, arguments on the genetic roots of Kïlda fall into one of two camps: Tungusic with heavy adstratum influence from Para-Mongolic or Pre-Classical Mongolian, vs. Para-Mongolic with heavy substratum influence and later borrowing from North Tungusic languages, specifically [[Wikipedia:Evenki_language|Evenki (or "Tungus")]] and [[Wikipedia:Even_language|Even (or "Lamut")]]. The position that Kïlda is a separate branch of Altaic was popular earlier in the 20th century but is now held only by a small, crackpot fringe. ==Phonology== Kïlda has a regular system of so-called front/back vowel harmony, in which lexical stems determine the vowel quality of their affixes. "Front" vowels are /'''ə i u o'''/ (in standard Latin orthography {'''e i ü ö'''}) while "back" vowels are /'''a ɪ ʊ ɔ'''/ (Latin orthography: {'''a ï u o'''}). The latter series is described, by different researchers, as "tense", "pharyngialized", or "retracted tongue root (RTR, -ATR)". There is also limited "rounding harmony" where the vowels /'''a ə'''/ appear as /'''ɔ o'''/ (respectively) in suffixes when attached to stems containing only /'''ɔ o'''/. Vowel length is additionally distinguished (though not in many orthographies), which also affects vowel quality (e.g., /ə əː/ = [ə ɛ], /ʊ ʊː/ = [ʊ ɯ]) and stress allocation. Two additional phonemes are recognized by the Kïldamnï as diphthongs, in Latin orthography {'''ei''', '''ê'''} (/'''eʲ''', '''ɛj'''/) and {'''ai'''} (/'''aj''', '''æʲ'''/). Consonantal phonology is fairly unexceptional. The two series of obstruents are distinguished primarily by voicing: /'''b d ʤ g'''/ {'''b d j g'''} are voiced, while /'''p t ʧ k'''/ {'''p t c k'''} are voiceless and strongly aspirated in most positions. While /'''k'''/ has velar and uvular allophones, conditioned by front vs. back vowel harmony (respectively), these are not phonemic and are ignored in native orthographies (though not in most foreign transcriptions). /'''p'''/ is ['''ɸ'''] (orthographically {'''f'''}) before back vowels (and in some cases /'''ɪ'''/), though this is irregular due to many loanwords and ideophones - so some analyses present /'''ɸ'''/ as a separate phoneme. Like most genetically and areally related languages, there is a phonemic palatal nasal /'''ɲ'''/ {'''ñ'''} or {'''ni-'''}. Unlike other Tungusic languages and neighbors (but like Manchu and Mongolic and Turkic languages), the velar nasal /'''ŋ'''/ {'''ng'''} cannot occur before a vowel. The hissing sibilant /'''s'''/ {'''s'''} is always pronounced "palatalized" (actually, retracted and grooved) before high front vowels (/'''i'''/ and /'''ı'''/) and thus merges with /'''ʃ'''/ {'''sh'''} or {'''š'''}. The phoneme /'''r'''/ {'''r'''} does not occur word-initially in native words or in loanwords from before the mid-19th century: /'''ɔrɔm'''/ "rum" (1820s) but /'''rɔkınrɔl'''/ "rock and roll" (1970s). Foreign descriptions cast /'''l'''/ {'''l'''} as a lateral fricative, voiceless in most but not all positions (['''ɬ'''] and ['''ɮ''']), but native accounts persist in calling it a lateral approximant. Likewise, according to Kilda sources /'''w'''/ {'''w''', '''v'''} is not a labiovelar, but a bilabial approximant or fricative (realized as ['''β̞''', '''β''']), while many foreign scholars describe it as a velar approximant pronounced with lip compression, ['''ɰ''']. The phoneme given here as /'''h'''/ has allophones ranging from voiceless velar and uvular fricatives ['''x, χ'''] to voiceless pharyngeal or epiglottal fricatives ['''ħ, ʜ'''] (identification is disputed) to voiceless and voiced glottal fricatives ['''h, ɦ'''] - depending on vowel harmony, syllable position, and dialect or idolect. Syllable structure is generally simple and of (C)V(C) form, and the language permits no internal clusters of more than two consonant phonemes. Word-initial or word-final consonant clusters are very rare even in loanwords. (E.g., /'''smiki'''/ "wandering tattler (a bird)", /'''tɔsk'''/ "riverbed sand".) By default, primary stress falls on the first syllable, but is attracted to syllables with long vowels. <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Dental-Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || {{IPA|ɲ}} || || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|s}} || || {{IPA|ʃ}} || || || || || || {{IPA|h}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || ||{{IPA|tʃ}} || {{IPA|dʒ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || {{IPA|w}} || || {{IPA|l}} || {{IPA|r}} || || || {{IPA|j}} |} </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| +FRONT ||colspan=2| -FRONT |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| || +ATR || -ATR || +ATR || -ATR |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| +HIGH || {{IPA|ɪ}} || {{IPA|i}} || {{IPA|ʊ}} || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| -HIGH || {{IPA|a}} || {{IPA|ə}} || {{IPA|ɔ}} || {{IPA|o}} |} </div> ==Morphology and Syntax== Grammatically, Kïlda is highly agglutinative and almost exclusively suffixing. It has basic SOV word order, accusative syntax, and a wealth of non-finite verb forms, many tense and aspect distinctions, and a fairly elaborate system of local cases. In all these respects it is a quite typical North Tungusic language. Though it has a slightly reduced and simplified inflectional morphology compared to its closest relatives, most morphological and syntactic constructions can be directly matched to corresponding forms in Even and/or Evenki. Inflectional morphology for verbal elements recognizes categories of finiteness, mood or modality, aspect, tense, evidentiality, person and number (of subject only), and switch-reference (in non-finite verbs only). There is a rich variety of verbal nouns (or "participles") which can serve as finite and non-finite verbs, attributive modifiers, and nominals. In addition there are a number of important periphrastic constructions to express certain TAM combinations (e.g., contact causation, pluperfect and future perfect) and in polite and honorific language. Finite endings can loosely be defined as those verbal inflections which occur only in the heads of verb phrases serving predicative roles in the sentence, and which do not permit subordination to another verb phrase. However, not all such VP heads take finite endings; participial and converbal forms can and often do occur in that role. In fact, in Kilda finite verbs proper are largely limited to imperatives and a number of modal-epistemic forms. The finite endings are followed by pronominal suffixes (except as noted below). <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: left; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align: center; background: #efefef;"| '''Finite Verb Endings''' |- style="vertical-align: left; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | '''Name''' ||colspan=2| '''Suffix''' ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near Future || '''-jai-''' || Near or immediate future tense |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Inferential Future || '''-mna-''' || More distant future tense, with less certainty about the action or state actually happening; also used to state probabilities or likelihoods in general or abstract times, or in customary behavior |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Subjunctive || '''-mca-''' || Consequence of counterfactual conditionals |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near Probabilative || '''-na-''' || Possible event or action at a time close to the present |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Distant Probabilative || '''-rka-''' || As above, but for events or actions in the more remote past |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mirative || '''-jug-''' || Actions or states which turn out to be the case, counter to expectation or in a narrative twist; usually with a pluperfect tense-aspect meaning. |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Admonitive || '''-jik''' || Warning or reminding about the verbal action: "look out for..., be sure to..., beware of...".

Nonfinite verbs never take modal markers, and rarely occur with certain categories of voice. They fall into three general categories: participles, or verbal nouns; inflecting converbs; and non-inflecting converbs. As attributives, participles always agree in number with the head of their NP, but not in person or case. As predicates, they require the periphrastic verb '''bi-''' ("be"), except third person nonfuture participial predicates. <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: left; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align: center; background: #efefef;"| '''Participles (Verbal Nouns/Nominalized Verbs)''' |- style="vertical-align: left; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | '''Name''' ||colspan=2| '''Suffix''' ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nonfuture || '''-ra-, -da-, -sa-, -na-''' (pred.), '''-ri-, -ri-, -si-, -di-''' (attrib./dependent) || Complicated range of meanings and functions; very widely used -- possibly the most frequent verb form in the language. Can refer to the recent past (of single perfective events or actions), simultaneity or present tense (of prolonged actions), imperfective past (of a small number of activity verbs); regardless, if it refers to any situation in the past, it must be one that was directly observed or experienced by the speaker. It thus has an evidential force as well. It also functions as the coreferential equivalent of the Purposive converb '''-da-''' (see below), and is sometimes referred to as "the infinitive form". (It is also the traditional citation form of verbs in Kilda dictionaries.) The forms with the low front vowels occur when used in predicative roles; those with high front vowels when the participle serves as a modifier or nominal. Verb stems fall into four classes, distinguished by the form of their nonfuture participle; they are not phonologically or semantically predictable. The '''-ra-/-ri-''' form is by far the most common. |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Perfect || '''-ca-, -ka-''' || Describes events of longer duration or further in the past than the Nonfuture participle; also those events or states which the speaker did not directly witness or experience -- i.e., with inferential or quotative evidential force. Despite the name "perfect", it does not always imply completed action. The alternation of '''-ca-''' and '''-ka-''' is again lexically determined; the former is more frequent. |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Hypothetical || '''-jiŋga-''' || Possible or future indefinite events; to the degree it implies uncertainty, it conveys categorical probability or likelihood and not the speaker's subjective opinion. |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Past Iterative || '''-jaŋki-''' || Actions that occurred many times in the past or states that frequently or on many occasions were true.

As the heads of VPs, they are limited to non-finite clauses. They come in two varieties: inflecting (switch-reference, SR) and non-inflecting (coreferential, CR). The former are used where the subject of the converb is different from the subject of the main VP; the latter, where the subject is the same in both the subordinate and main VPs. <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: left; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align: center; background: #efefef;"| '''Converbs''' |- style="vertical-align: left; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | '''Name''' ||colspan=2| '''Suffix''' ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Conditional || '''-mi''' (CR), '''-raki-, -daki-, -saki-, -naki-''' (SR) || Covers both temporal and causal conditions: "if she Xes, (then she Ys)" and "when she Xes, (then she Ys)". |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Imperfective || '''-mnak''' (CR), '''-ŋsi-''' (SR) || Past events that were simultaneous with the action or state described by the main verb.

Most noticeable is its preservation of initial '''*p-''' as '''p-''' or '''f-''', which has gone > '''h-''' > '''0-''' in the other North Tungusic languages. E.g., PTg '''*pesin''' "handle" > Evenki, Even, Negidal, Oroch '''hesin''', Udihe '''hehi''' vs. Ulcha, Orok, Nanai '''pesi(n)''', Manchu '''fesin''', but Kilda '''pesi(n)'''; or before back vowels, PTg '''*po:si-''' "glowing ember" > Evenki '''ho:sin''', Negidal '''xosinca''' "hot coal" vs. Ulcha and Orok '''posi''', Nanai '''posi(n)''' "spark, burning coal", Manchu '''foson''' "sunlight, sun ray, glow of fire", but Kilda '''fo:sïn''' "ember, glowing coal". Likewise, PTg '''*ü''' in the first syllable of a word typically becomes '''i''' in North Tungusic but '''u''' in South Tungusic and also in Kïlda: PTg '''*tügde''' "rain" > Evenki/Negidal/Oroch/Udighe '''tigde''', Solon '''tiki-''' "to rain", Even '''tīd''' vs. Ulcha/Nanai/Kilda '''tugde''', Orok '''tugde/tugje''', Manchu '''tuhe-''' id. Moreover, Kilda has many lexemes that are found only in the southern Tungusic languages and absent entirely from the northern ones. These two factors give Kilda the superficial appearance of being more closely related to South (or "Amuric") Tungusic languages than the North Tungusic languages. All Tungusic etymologies of Kilda lexemes are, moreover, complicated by a sizable number of relatively loanwords from Even and Evenki into Kilda, in some cases supplanting an earlier or inherited lexeme. Additionally, there is a large quantity of what are either inherited Para-Mongolic terms or early borrowings from Preclassical or Middle Mongolian, depending on individual scholars' interpretations. These, combined with quantities of "high culture" vocabulary items borrowed from Old Turkic, are nowadays generally accepted as evidence in support of the traditional Kïldamnï belief that they are descendants of the [[Wikipedia:Khitan|Khitans]] who ruled northern China, Manchuria, and parts of modern Mongolia under the [[Wikipedia:Liao_Dynasty|Liao dynasty]] (907-1125 CE). While of restricted use, there even exists a sizable body of [[Indo-Iranian_Loans_in_Kilda|Indian and Iranian loanwords]]. The Kïlda language has furthermore absorbed very large numbers of lexical items from languages indigenous to Kamchatka (Kurile [[Wikipedia:Ainu_Language|Ainu]], Southern and Eastern "dialects" of [[Wikipedia:Itelmen_language|Itelmen]]) and from languages neighboring Kamchatka: the [[Wikipedia:Koryak_language|Koryak]] and [[Wikipedia:Alutor_language|Alutor]] languages, and later from [[Wikipedia:Aleut_language|Aleut]] and even Pacific Yupik -- confusingly now called [[Wikipedia:Alutiiq|Alutiiq]]. (Kïlda thus has been influenced by "Alutor", "Aleut", and "Alutiiq", actually three different languages belonging to three different language families or branches thereof.) There are also a smaller number of foreign loans from the early modern period (primarily Portuguese, French, English, Japanese, and Russian, but also Chinese and [[Wikipedia:Chinook_Jargon|Chinook Jargon]]). Perhaps as much as 1/4 or even 1/3 of the total lexicon is of non-Altaic or non-Tungusic origin. In the 19th and 20th century, it proved much more conservative towards foreign influence than in the past, and has (relatively) few "global" or "international" items of vocabulary taken from English or Russian. ==Writing Systems== The Kïldamnï in Kamchatka used forms of the [http://www.omniglot.com/writing/khitan.htm Khitan logosyllabic writing system] until the early 1800s, when Latin orthographies were adopted. The original Khitan "Large Script" and "Small Script" writing systems of the Liao dynasty seem to have died out by approximately 1300 and are documented in Kamchatka only by a few short and poorly-preserved inscriptions in stone. They did, however, give rise to a third related script first attested around the same time; this writing system consisted of 1200-1600 graphemes and during its period of use (c. 1325-1825) became gradually more and more regularized and rationalized. Since the 1820s the official and generally used orthrography for Kïlda has been one of several Latinate systems (also successively modified and modernized over the decades). The language has also been written in the Russian Cyrillic alphabet (primarily by Orthodox missionaries, priests, and converts beginning in the early 1700s), Japanese katakana (during 1941-1945), and to a very limited extent in a "runic" syllabary devised at the turn of the twentieth century that was inspired by the recently-discovered [[Wikipedia:Orkhon_script|Old Turkic "runic" script]] from the Orkhon and Yenesei valleys in Central Asia. ==Ethnographic Background Information== [[Kildamni Ethnographic Questionnaire]] [[Category:LLL]] [[Category:A posteriori conlangs]] [[Category:Altaic conlangs]] [[Category:Kilda Kelen]] Simik 1275 4627 2005-08-10T03:02:31Z Teamouse 37 Simîk is one of many languages spoken by the [[Zireen]] of the planet Rishai. == Phonology == === Consonants === {| border=1 cellpadding=5 | | labial | alveolar | retroflex | alv-palat. | palatal | velar |- | stops | | t | | | | k |- | nasals | m | n | | | | |- | fricatives | v | s z | š r | ś ź | c j | |- | lat. appr. | | l | | | | |} === Vowels === {| border=1 cellpadding=5 | | front | central | back |- | high | i | | u |- | mid | e | | |- | low | | a | |} === Tones === Simîk has four tones: * high rising: á é í ú * high falling: â ê î û * low rising: ǎ ě ǐ ǔ * low falling: à è ì ù For convenience, the low rising tone is written without a tone mark. Each of these tones may also occur on long vowels (or diphthongs), so it is often said that Simîk has eight tones. There should be 16 possible combinations of tones in two-syllable Simik words. However, most of these combinations only appear in compounds and foreign words. If you account for vowel length separately, only four or five of the possible tone patterns are common in native Simik roots, and many of the exceptions are emphatic forms that are derived from shorter roots. Historically, Simik developed from a language with pitch accent. The five tone patterns are especially apparent in words with short vowels: * pattern 1 (HF-LR): jûma "dream", mâjar "to carry", nârik "right-hand" * pattern 2 (HR-LR): nécla "[[Yitha]]", tílma "logic", źálin "to assemble", źérit "bird" * pattern 3 (LR-HF): imâk "metal", mekî "puzzle", tazâ "six", valâr "finger" * pattern 4 (LR-HR): izá "cat", jaśí "imbalance", saré "right, proper" * pattern 5 (LR-LF): jerìn "left-hand", njeźà "lubricant", rizù "to thank" In the ancient language, at most one syllable of a word received a stress, which could be rising or falling. The fifth pattern is accounted for by words without inherent stress. The various tone patterns of modern Simîk arise from different combinations of pitch accent, vowel length, and other factors. {| border=1 cellpadding=5 | ancient: | jùma | néškla | imàk | iðá | ježin |- | modern: | jûma | nécla | imâk | izá | jerìn |} == Morphology == === Verbs === There are three conjugation patterns for verbs. * 1st conjugation (intransitive verbs) {| | ''taacèi'' | I sleep |- | ''nîicèi'' | you sleep |- | ''nâacèi'' | we; you and I sleep |- | ''secèi'' | he/she/it/they sleep(s) |- | ''kúucèi'' | we; he/she/it/they and I sleep |} * 2nd conjugation (transitive verbs) {| | ''kítai'' | I like myself |- | ''sîitai'' | I like you |- | ''setai'' | I like him/her/it/them |- | ''síitai'' | you like me |- | ''kíitai'' | you like yourself |- | ''séetai'' | you like him/her/it/them |- | ''leetái'' | he/she/it/they like(s) me |- | ''iitái'' | he/she/it/they like(s) you |- | ''àtai'' | he/she/it/they like(s) him/her/it/them |- | ''kàtai'' | he/she/it/they like(s) himself/herself/itself/themselves |} * 3rd conjugation (reciprocal verbs) {| | ''núilic'' | you and I kiss |- | ''śilic'' | he/she/it and I kiss |- | ''zilic'' | you and he/she/it kiss |- | ''valic'' | they kiss |} Fukhian 1276 10825 2006-07-13T12:31:00Z Theiling 34 Fukhian is one of [[User:Theiling|Henrik Theiling's]] conlangs.

Its closest relative is [[Partish]], situated to the north of the Kythish-speaking area, which it exists in a dialect continuum with. Other relatives on the world of [[Oktosïï]] include [[Nordaþ language|Nordaþ]], a more distant [[Germanic]] language which has influenced Kythish to a degree. Kythish does not have a national or otherwise unifying standard&mdash;indeed, the Kythe itself is not a unified entity despite its relative linguistic uniformity&mdash;but is heavily fragmented among competing regional standards and traditions, both in speech and writing. This article focuses on three of the most important of these (discussed below), although attention is given to other forms where appropriate and examples are sometimes taken from them. The lack of a coherent national standard for Kythish necessitates that any account of the Kythish language either specify the dialect material is taken from or analyse more than one dialect; otherwise, one is in danger of giving a skewed presentation of the language as whole. This, which is intended as an overview of the language as whole, as mentioned, concentrates on three different standards. These dialects do not represent the extremes of the language, nor are they necessarily representative of any major dialectal groupings; rather, they have been chosen due to a perceived importance, either historical or modern, within the Kythe and influence on the language. They are: Metropolitan and Broads Hacean (hereafter MBH or Hacean), which is a traditionally important standard, dominant in this form throughout much of the northeast centring on the large and influential city of Hacei (seat of the supranational Kythish Federal Parliament), but its norms have been influential throughout the Kythish linguistic area; the Thwalish Eastern Standard (TES or Thwalish), which is an old standard originating in the academic institutions of the city of Thwale that was for a long time the most prestigious written dialect in the region, since superseded by MBH; and University Tansuan, more properly the JEC Tansu Standard (JTS or Tansuan), where JEC Tansu stands for ''Jóŋŋ-Eiźhóc-Ceinræí Tánsú'', the name of the university that codified the standard, which has been gaining influence in academic circles for quite a while and has recently received a boost due to its adoption by the Tansu government and that city's speedily growing economy. Tansuan is the form used for glosses, translations and as a baseline for comparison with other lects, except where noted. ==Phonology & Orthography== These are considered together here as a simultaneous understanding of both is important for the understanding of further Kythish material. Kythish dialects are typified by high vocalic complexity, with long & short and tense & lax distinctions, and a wide range of diphthongs. This is less true in the north and northwest, close to Nordath- and Säämi-speaking areas, where many phonemic distinctions have been levelled and greater vowel harmony between roots and affixes has developed than in their more southerly counterparts. Vowels will be covered first, followed by a discussion of the consonantal inventories of the various dialects. ===Vowels=== ====Tansuan==== {| cellpadding=2 align=left |+ Short vowels ! !! front !! near-front !! central !! near-back !! back |- ! close | || || || || |- ! near-close | || ɪ·ʏ || || ·ʊ || |- ! close-mid | || || || || |- ! mid | || || ə· || || |- ! open-mid | ɛ·œ || || || || ʌ·ɔ |- ! near-open | æ· || || || || |- ! open | || || || || |} {| cellpadding=2 align=right |+ Long vowels ! !! front !! near-front !! central !! near-back !! back |- ! close | iː·yː || || || || ·uː |- ! near-close | || ɪː·ʏː || || ·ʊː || |- ! close-mid | eː·øː || || || || ·oː |- ! mid | || || əː· || || |- ! open-mid | ɛː·œː || || || || ·ɔː |- ! near-open | æː· || || || ɐ̠ː· || |- ! open | aː· || || || || ɑː· |} [[Category:Germanic conlangs]] [[Category:Kythish]] [[Category:Oktosïï]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Kythish phonemes 1300 8199 2006-03-25T21:43:42Z Muke 1 [[Category:Kythish]] ===Vowels=== Kythish has 7 'short' vowels (a, e, i, o, u, w, and y) and 7 roughly equivalent 'long' vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú, ẃ, and ý).

I have been into worldbuilding since I was about ten; at the same age, I contracted the 'language bug' from my elder brother's Latin school grammar; and when I was about 16 years old, I started my first real conlang which, however, never got far (and was little more than a relex of German with an ill-defined phonology). In the following years, I didn't conlang much, until I started what was later to become [[Albic]] in the spring (northern hemisphere) of the year 2000. My interest in conlangs is actually pretty much an outcrop of my interest in worldbuilding. I have been inventing worlds since the tender age of ten, often together with a cousin of mine; it is only natural, then, that I enjoy reading fantasy and science fiction, and used to play role-playing games for a long time (though I am currently not playing them). At this time, I have two main worldbuilding projects underway. One is a near-future world influenced by cyberpunk SF but lighter in tone (which, however, doesn't involve any conlangs, only a handful of neologisms), the other is the [[legendarium]] associated with the [[British Elves]] (in which conlangs, chiefly of the [[Albic]] family, feature prominently). What makes a good conlang? It depends on what it is made for. The kind of languages I am most interested in are fictional human languages, and a good fictional human language ought to resemble a natlang. This is also my personal taste: to me, [[naturalistic artlang]]s are beautiful, the more naturalistic, the better. Most non-naturalistic conlangs are rather ugly to my taste, though there are a few I find beautiful for some other reason. (I haven't seen a natlang yet that struck me as ugly. Not even languages with lots of uvulars, ejectives and wicked consonant clusters such as [[Wikipedia:Georgian language|Georgian]] - which actually doesn't sound harsher than, e.g., Russian.) To me, among the greatest conlangs ever created are [[Wikipedia:Quenya|Quenya]] and [[Wikipedia:Sindarin|Sindarin]], while I find [[Wikipedia:Klingon language|Klingon]] rather unappealing. I especially like it when an author invents an entire ''family'' of related languages, with sound changes and all that. This is also what I am trying to do with [[Albic]]. I have also made the experience that in conlanging, the amateurs often outshine the professionals. Most conlangs made for movies, TV series, games etc. are little more than relexes of English, and the scripts encountered in such media often merely assign alternative glyphs to the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet (and the inscriptions seen are often just plain English). Most of the conlangs and conscripts from the CONLANG community are much better than that, even those designed by people who are not professional linguists. I have made a similar observation regarding auxlangers vs. artlangers. Many [[auxlang]] proposals I have seen are linguistically naïve, and the intellectual and linguistic brilliance I have found in many of the artlangs done by CONLANG list members is barely even approached. (Of course, auxlang proposals are usually addressed at non-linguists, and many of the 'interesting' linguistic features found in some artlangs would conflict with the auxlang ideal of easy use and learning. On the other hand, there ''are'' auxlangs that are linguistically brilliant.) And then, of course, auxlangers are way too serious about their proposals. It also seems to me that the 'auxlang race' has already been run - and English is the winner. English is part of the educational canon in most Western and many non-Western countries; it is the language of most of the Internet, and the language most people today take recourse to whenever they assume that the person they are talking to is not of the same native language, etc. p. p. I frankly don't see how any artificial IAL will be able to challenge this position in the forseeable future - not even Esperanto. Another language-related interest of mine is ''historical linguistics'', especially proposals of long-range relationships such as [[Nostratic]] (see [[Jörg's ideas about Nostratic]]), and the exploration of the lost world of [[Old European languages]]. What else is important in my life is ''music''. I especially like progressive rock, and would like very much to be in a progressive rock band (however, those grapes are hanging too high for me right now - I need to practice a lot). I am currently a member of a popular music choir. You may ask, why 'Weeping Elf'? Well, I have a somewhat [[Elves|Elvish]] mindset, and the madness of this world quite often makes me weep. That's why.

It is based mostly on Esperanto, with some words from Greek and Russian. The adjectival form is Nobalinga; thus, the Nobalinga language. Nobalingos comes from two words: '''noba''', meaning new, and '''lingos''', meaning language or toungue.<br> 1.0 Alphabet<br> 1.1 Vowels:<br> '''a''' = short a, as in ''bat''<br> '''au''' = either short o, as in ''bought'', or ow, as in ''bout''<br> '''ay''' = long a, as in ''bait''<br> '''e''' = either short e, as in ''bet'', short i, as in ''bit'', or, at the end of a word, long a, as in ''bait''<br> '''eu''' = you, as in ''butte''<br> '''ey''' = long a. This is an alternate form of '''ay'''.<br> '''i''' = long e, as in ''beet''<br> '''iy''' = long i, as in ''bite''<br> '''o''' = long o, as in ''boat''<br> '''oy''' = oy, as in ''boy''<br> '''u''' = long u, as in ''boot''<br> 1.2 Consonants:<br> '''b''' = b,v<br> '''d''' = d,t<br> '''g''' = g,j and sometimes q,h<br> '''l''' = l<br> '''m''' = m<br> '''n''' = n<br> '''p''' = p,f<br> '''r''' = r<br> '''s''' = s,z<br> '''x''' = ch,k,kh(as in ''bach''), and sometimes h<br> '''y''' = y<br> '''z''' = sh,zh, and sometimes j<br> Not used (except in foreign words): c,f,h,j,k,q,t,w,v 1.3 Capitalization<br> All words use the lower case, except for foreign words, newly created words, and some proper names. 2.0 Nouns<br> Nobalinga nouns have an ending which show the case.<br> 2.1 Nominative case<br> Nouns in the nominative case end in -s (usually -os, but other endings are also possible, such as -as). In Esperanto, nouns end in -o, so just add an 's' and make other changes as needed for the spelling. For example: ''hundo'' (dog) becomes '''xundos'''.<br> 2.1.1 Plural nominative. To make a noun plural, replace the s with a y. For example: dogs = '''xundoy'''. The ending -aros can also be used to indicate a collection of items. For example: tree = '''arbos'''; trees = '''arboy'''; forest = '''arbaros'''; forests = '''arbaroy'''.<br> 2.2 Accusative case<br> Nouns in the accusative case end in -n (usually -on). This is the same as Esperanto.<br> 2.3 Genitive case<br> Nouns in the genitive case end in -a. For example: house of God = '''domos dia'''. The English words 'of' and 'from' are translated with this case.<br> 2.4 Prepositional case<br> Nouns in the prepositional case end in -e. If the preposition is omitted, the preposition at is implied. For example: at home = '''dome'''<br> 2.5 Dative case<br> Nouns in the dative case end in -u. Here is an example that shows both the genitive case and the dative case: from the earth to the moon = '''dera lunu'''.<br> 3.0 Pronouns<br> The pronoun system has not been finalized, and is subject to change.<br> '''mis''' = I<br> '''dis''' or '''dus''' = you<br> '''onis''' = he,she,it<br> '''zis''' = she<br> '''miy''' = we<br> '''oniy''' = they<br> Pronouns are declined the same way as nouns. For example: my = '''ma'''; me = '''min'''; to me = '''mu'''.<br> 4.0 [[NobalingaVerbs]] 5.0 Adjectives.<br> Adjectives end in -a, the same as in Esperanto. Since this is the same ending as the genitive case, it is ambiguous as to whether a word is an adjective or a noun in the genitive case. For example: '''domos dia''' = either "house of God" or "Godly house".<br> 6.0 Adverbs.<br> Adverbs end in -e, the same as in Esperanto. Since this is the same ending as the prepositional case, it is ambiguous as to which type of word it is, but usually this is not a problem. For example:<br> '''dre''' = very<br> '''gene''' = in the beginning<br> 7.0 Conjunctions and Prepositions<br> These are the same as in Esperanto, except where noted.<br> 8.0 [[Nobalingos-English]] Dictionary 9.0 Texts [[Category:A posteriori conlangs]] [[Category:Nobalingos]] Nobalingos-English 1307 35213 2008-08-09T13:44:10Z Blackkdark 1214 == Nobalingos-English Dictionary == See the overview of [[Nobalingos]].<br> (Abbreviations: en: [[Modern English]]; eo: Esperanto; gr: Greek; ru: Russian.)<br> aguos: water.

Initially it was created for amusement, but at present it has a vocabulary of more than 7000 words and a complete grammar. == '''Grammar''' == The salient characteristic of the grammar is extreme simplicity, with the aim of making the language easy to learn. Most of the words consist of only 2 syllables. The alphabet consists of 27 letters. Pronunciation is as in [[Wikipedia:Latin language|Latin]] except for ''&#269;'' (or ''ch''= '''''ch'''''inese), ''k'' (= '''''k'''''iss), ''j'' (= french ''g''), ''h'' (always to be aspirate), ''q'' (= '''''qu'''''ality), ''&#353;'' (or ''sh''= '''''sh'''''ow), ''y'' (short ''i''= pla'''''i'''''n) and ''w'' (short ''u''= '''''w'''''onder). The [[Wikipedia:accent|accent]] is always on the penultimate syllable. [[Wikipedia:noun|Nouns]] always end with ''-a'', [[adjectives]] and [[adverbs]] always with ''-i''. It needs only to add ''-s'' to the word in order to obtain the [[plural]]. The [[article]] doesn’t exist. Also the [[Wikipedia:verb|verb]] "''to be''" is almost always omitted. == Cultural aspects == At present a Lara Language [[Cultural Association]] exists, open to everyone. By the active collaboration and creativity of its members, it sets the goal to create a new fantasy world, with its own fantasy culture and fantasy people. [[Image:SimboloLara.jpg|200px|right]] A Lara [[philosophy]] is already widely developed. It has a peculiar [[symbol]] (see figure at side) and is based on the comparison between the grammatical, phonetic and syntactical simplicity of the language, that leads to serenity (=''moba'') of thinking and of its expression, and nature simplicity that leads to serenity of the spirit. On the base of this concept, brief tales were produced (the ''Syubas''), real allegories the aim of which is to determine a condition of mind serenity through the lecture of an essential narration, characteristic of the [[allegory]], in a so called natural language. You find an example of ''Syuba'' in the following section. == '''Examples''' == === '''"Zizi grumi"'''-''Syuba'' === [[Image:VecchioRiccoLara.jpg|320px|right]] ''Zizi grumi sen pyuka bolyun u wafa i gomen oye gume kora. Mati meden tawta i katen pu gruvi byeli fita kin gungi stifas pamel grâ. Sa glaen ye huma in e tiel: “Ai o lwi luki kapir goi grâ i lâ ku pyuka i kinkir dri fidas tu stifas sin mizi fita”.

Huen fita i pelen ku pyuka. U tai maen gume balali pra. Upi gruvi fita, hunel ga droi i gili toga. Sa blaka zizin grumi. Trifa melen ni fiba lonen pu fita yu ti pa.'' === ''Translation:'' "The old rich man" (''Syuba'') === An old rich man saw a hill sorrounded by a wood and liked to climb it to watch at the panorama. Soon he felt exhaustion and sat down under an old bent tree the skeletal branches of which touched the ground. This saddened his heart and he thought: "If I was still young I would bring good earth and water up the hill and tie up the branches of this poor tree with strong poles". But his sadness increased since he thought over himself. So he fell asleep with this thoughts and his breath filled with the fresh smell of the sky and the flowers. When he woke up again he was young and strong. Being wondering he stood up and a diamond ring slipped off his restless fingers. He said goodbye to the tree and ran up the hill. He could watch at the wonderful nature from above. A mighty green oak rised at the place of the tree. This is the story of the old rich man. The magpie passed by but the ring remained under the tree since then. === Babel Text (''Genesis 11:1-9'') === <font face="Book Antiqua"><font size=3>1 Dai rava den pli pi tega in imi blas. <font face="Book Antiqua"><font size=3>2 Peas su felle yu faga hegen tavya du kura nu Senayros i tai staken. <font face="Book Antiqua"><font size=3>3 Ken pitì: "Ales, pes sdugas i hures su râ".

Authority | Obey authority without question. | Have faith in authority; follow where you are led. | Respect the wisdom and experience of authority, but make your own decisions. | When in doubt, trust authority, but feel free to ignore nonsense. | Never trust authority. Make your own rules. |- ! Generosity | Share everything that you have. | Help out those in need. | Share with your family and friends. | Give only as required. | Take all that you can and keep it for yourself. |- ! Novelty | ''Radical:''<br/>Try something new at every opportunity. Be bold. | ''Innovative:''<br/>Always look for ways to improve things, but keep a sound foundation. | ''Progressive:''<br/>Be cautious about change, but fix things that can be improved. | ''Conservative:''<br/>Keep things the way they are. Distrust novelty. | ''Reactionary:''<br/>The old ways are best. Go back to the way things used to be. |- ! Pleasure | ''Hedonistic:''<br/>Pleasure is the most important thing in life. Seek it at all cost. | Pleasure in moderation is a good thing. Work to achieve it. | Enjoy life when you can; avoid needless suffering. | It can be virtuous to endure suffering, but pleasure is not a bad thing. | ''Ascetic:''<br/>Pleasure is a dangerous addiction. Keep it to a minimum. |- ! Ritual | ''Obsessive:''<br/>Life revolves around rituals. Nothing is more important. | ''Ritualistic:''<br/>Rituals are important, but should not rule your life. | ''Habitual:''<br/>It can be useful to follow a routine. | ''Creative:''<br/>Do your own thing. Improvise. | Don't bother with rituals. They're a waste of time. |- ! Sociability | ''Gregarious:''<br/>The more the merrier. Party on! | ''Sociable:''<br/>It's best to be with others. It's no fun to be alone. | ''Friendly:''<br/>Having a small group of close friends is best. | ''Polite:''<br/>Be social when you must, but prefer to be alone. | ''Reclusive:''<br/>Solitude is the best.

They say the Dutch were magical people who were part of a secret society called Bevrijd Denkers Vereniging meaning "Free Thinkers Guild" who practiced the arts of the Knights of the Old World also called Ridders van het Ouderwetse the name Ridder was a noun for a member of this group. Once upon a colony in Delaware called [[New Netherlands]] a group of [[Dutch Knights]] called Ridders fought the Devil and his evil forces. Then one day a Ridder decided to fight Faust the Evil One who tampered with the forces of evil and his soul was damned to Hell. The Ridder who was named Jaan Van Ridderschap went to the Knickerbockers to get some weapons for the defense of the colony. Then Jaan went to New Amsterdam and purchased a bottle of holy water and a cross of Jesus. The Knights were thought to be ancesters of the Giddite Order, and their code they written in was lost and then found. Some linked them to the German Knights who planned to fight the real witches of New England but were ousted by the English. == The Rise of Hissler == [[Hissler]], the most evil person to ever live hunted the Ridders and their student. But the Ridders had a suprise party for him which they poisoned him with the most toxic tonic that was ever made. But [[Hissler]] was again sent out of Hell to finish the job but the [[Ridder]]s had God and Jesus on their side. Then Hissler saw that he was outnumbered but fought anyway with all the Darkest Power he had but was cast into his own prison as the Earth swallowed him whole.

It was originally Sectori's n00blang, but underwent a major grammar revision in late April 2006. ==Phonology/Orthography== Inote should be written with their own alphabet, untypeable. For convenience, this article will be transcribed in the Latin script. <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || || || || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || || || || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || || || || || {{IPA|s}} || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximant || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɹ}} |} </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || ({{IPA|i}}) || || || || || || || || || ({{IPA|u}}) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-high || || {{IPA|ɪ}} || || || || || || {{IPA|ʊ}} || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || ({{IPA|e}}) || || || || || || || ({{IPA|o}}) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || || || ({{IPA|ə}}) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || {{IPA|ɛ}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɔ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-low || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> The vowels enclosed in parentheses occur only word-finally. Inote is (C)V(C). However, as a rule, Inote does not allow two vowels or two consonants to come in contact in the same word. Orthographically, /{{IPA|ə}} {{IPA|ɛ}} {{IPA|ɪ}} {{IPA|ɔ}} {{IPA|ʊ}}/ are represented as < a e i o u >, as are /a e i o u/ < a e i o u >. ==Nominal Morphology== Nouns agglutinate to show their case: nominative, accusative, genitive, or dative. These cases show a noun's function in a sentence. The '''nominative''' case marks the ''subject'' of a sentence, the one who completes a verb action. The '''accusative''' case marks the ''direct object'' of a sentence, the one who is acted upon by the subject. The '''dative''' case marks the ''indirect object'' of a sentence, the one for whom a verb is done. The '''genitive''' case marks ''possession''. In addition to their normal functions, the accusative and dative cases function as the objects of certain prepositions. Which case a preposition causes will be indicated in the preposition's definition. ===Noun Declension=== All nouns decline the same way: by adding one of seven suffixes to their end to mark case. Those eight suffixes are as follows: {| border=1 ! Case || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || -ø || -(e)n |- | Acc || -(n)a || -(a)n |- | Dat || -(n)i || -(i)n |- | Gen || -(n)o || -(o)n |} The vowels and '''n'''s enclosed in parentheses are to make sure that a word does not place a vowel next to a vowel or a consonant next to a consonant. Here is the declension of a sample noun: '''iner''' (''hunt'', ''cf''<'''ineru''', ''to hunt'') {| border=1 ! Case || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || iner-ø || iner-en |- | Acc || iner-a || iner-an |- | Dat || iner-i || iner-in |- | Gen || iner-o || iner-on |} Here is the declension of a sample noun that ends in a vowel: '''nina''' (''cloud'', ''cf''<'''niner''', ''far'') {| border=1 ! Case || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || nina-ø || nina-n |- | Acc || nina-na || nina-n |- | Dat || nina-ni || nina-n |- | Gen || nina-no || nina-n |} This declension pattern is true of pronouns as well. Pronouns will be covered more later. ==Verbal Morphology== Inote verbs, like nouns, agglutinate. As with many of Sectori's languages, Inote verbs show three moods: indicative, subjunctive, and imperative. Similar to, for example, [['Ukana'akau]], Inote also shows three tenses: past, present, and future. Finally, verbs show person, number, and time of day. Yes, you read that correctly. Time of day. Inote verbs reflect whether their actions occur between sunrise and sunset or between sunset and sunrise. Inote verb infinitives end in '''-ru'''. Here is a table of verb affixes, which replace the infinitive ending. {| border=1 | || Ind. Pres. || Ind. Past || Ind. Fut. || Subj. Pres. || Subj. Past. || Subj. Fut. || Imp.

The subjunctive is used, as in most of Sectori's languages, in relative clauses, or following relative pronouns or conjunctions other than ''and'' and ''or''. It also is used in sentences expressing doubt, possibility, and insecurity. So, '''per inerutat''', ''but you might hunt'', but not '''an inerutat''', ''and you might hunt''. ===Compound Tenses=== There are a number of verb constructions that can be used to make so-called "compound" tenses: perfect, imperfect, progressive. To form the perfect tense, you need to know how to form the past participle (also the adjective form) of a verb. The past participle is made by replacing the final -u in the infinitive with -onu. *'''iperu'''>'''iperonu''' *'''tireru'''>'''tireronu''' Then, form the perfect tense by placing the past participle after an appropriately conjugated form of '''inuru''' (a verb in and of itself, ''to live''). The perfect is equivalent to such constructions as English ''I have run'', ''I will have lived'', and the like. *'''inurana iperonu''': I had lived *'''inurutat tireronu''': you might have burned To form the imperfect and progressive tenses, you must know how to form the present participle of a verb. The present participle is formed by replacing the final -u in the infinitive with -ot. *'''iperu'''>'''iperot''' *'''tireru'''>'''tirerot''' Then, form the imperfect tense by placing the present participle of a verb after an appropriately conjugated form of '''iperu''' (''to be''). The imperfect is similar to such English constructions as ''I am running'', ''I will be living'', and the like. Form the progressive by placing the present participle of a verb after an appropriately conjugated form of '''tanoru''' (''to go''). The progressive is equivalent to English ''I am going to run'', ''I was going to live'', and the like. *'''iperuna iperot''': I am being *'''tanorana tirerot''': I was going to burn [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:A priori conlangs]] FrathWiki:No Anonymous Edits 1773 5366 2005-10-19T21:26:15Z Muke 1 Recently this Wiki's settings were changed so that users must be logged in to edit pages.

But I've started deliberately adding some of the more useful words to it and hope to add more over time. Almost all morphemes are disyllabic, with a long syllable followed by a short syllable, though some very common words are monosyllabic, or even consist of only one phoneme (e.g. '''l''' meaning 'the' (singular)). You can form compound words by juxtaposition, head word last. E.g. a '''moogimotti''' is an ant-egg. '''Kossakaidu''' means 'jeweller' - literally "jewel-worker". = Frequently used words = === Copula === *'''paa''' to be (Only used for linking two '''noun phrases''', both of which are put in the nominative. Do not use for adjectives.) === Demonstratives === *'''taa''' that, those. N. B. you need to add a (case-inflected) article. As adjective, comes after noun, before article (rather than before the noun like most adjectives). As a pronoun, just add the article. E.g.: '''Kooba taa le''', ''that jacket'' (nom.). '''Taa le''', ''that'' (as pronoun). '''Taa ke''', ''those'' (nom.). '''Kooba taa se''', ''one of those jackets'' (nom.). *''' nii ''' this, these.

'''a b c d e g h i k l m n o p q r s t u v z''' The vowels are read approximately as in Spanish. But double vowels are pronounced long. Double consonants are pronounced double. Like Finnish. '''q''' is pronounced like the 'ni' in 'onion'. '''c''' is pronounced like the 'ch' is 'chair'. '''n''' when at the ''end'' of a word (or medially immediately before 'g' or 'k') is pronounced like the 'ng' is 'song', or else is assimilated to the following consonant, as in Japanese. Elsewhere, it is pronounced like the 'n' in 'sonnet'. '''r''' is rolled '''ng''' is pronounced as in 'finger', not as in 'singer'. '''ai''' is pronounced like 'eye' in 'eye'. '''au''' is pronounced like the 'ow' in 'cow'. Other sounds are pretty much pronounced as one would expect. But unvoiced stops are not aspirated. E.g. '''p''' is pronounced always as in 'spot', never as in 'pack'. In a word with more than one syllable, the first syllable takes the stress. = Sample lexicon = I have arbitrarily picked the following words for the purposes of illustrating grammar. See [[Gaaziketti: Lexicon]] for more words. '''kossakaidu''' jeweller '''nauzu''' to be original '''mennu''' name '''raazu''' to criticise '''cooqi''' to be silent '''haiga''' movie '''kuubu''' slave '''deelu''' enemy '''cecca''' soldier '''paa''' to be (only for linking noun phrases) = Grammar = == Basic syntax == In Gaaziketti, just about any kind of word can modify (qualify) just about any other kind of word. Verbs, nouns and adjectives fall into essentially a single part of speech. For example, '''kossakaidu''' means 'jeweller' -- if thought of as a noun. But consider this one-word sentence: '''Kossakaidu.''' Here '''kossakaidu''' acts as a verb, meaning: 'There is/are a jeweller/ some jewellers.' '''Kossakaidu le raazu.''' means 'The jeweller criticises (something).' But '''raazu''', thought of as a noun, means 'criticising' (n.) or 'criticism'. Thus " '''Kossakaidu le raazu.''' " can be read as 'There is criticising by the jeweller.' Adjectives are generally treated as verbs. E.g. '''cooqi''': to be silent. For such an "adjective" (which is really a verb), if you want to treat it as an attributive adjective, e.g. as in 'the silent movie', then you put it like this: 'the movie which is silent'. This isn't particularly unwieldy in Gaaziketti, because there is a concise relative pronoun ('''d'''). Thus '''cooqi de haiga le''' means 'the movie which is silent'/ 'the silent movie'. The syntax tends to be agglutinative. === Parsing markers === These markers indicate exactly what qualifies what. One must compulsorily be tacked onto the end of any morpheme ending in a vowel (or diphthong) (noting that one of these parsing markers is a null). Gather one element, modify next element '''(nil)''' Gather one element, do not modify next element '''-s''' Gather two elements, modify next element '''-n''' Gather two elements, do not modify next element '''-k''' These markers work in the following way. If you've got a noun phrase, say, and it's modifying the next phrase to appear in the sentence, and its the ''only'' phrase modifying that next phrase, then you don't need to tack on any parsing marker at all - its gets the '''(nil)''' marker. But say you want noun phrase X ''not'' to modify the very next phrase in the sentence. Then you generally would tack on '''-s'''. (Although is some situations, as will be described shortly, you would tack on -k.) Now, suppose the order of phrases is XYZ. Say you want X to modify Z ''and'' you want Y to modify Z. This occurs, for example, when Z is appearing as a verb, and X and Y are its subject and object respectively. Then X gets '''-s''' and Y gets '''-n'''. The '''-s''' stops X from modifying Y; and the '''-n''' gathers two elements, viz. X and Y, and indicates that each of these gathered elements modifies the next element, Z. Suppose you've got WXYZ. You want W, X and Y each to modify Z. Then W gets '''-s''', X gets '''-k''' (which serves to "gather" W and X into a unit containing two phrases, both of which will end up modifying the same unit, ''without'' modifying the very ''next'' unit), and Y gets '''-n'''. Note that Z gets no marker in any of these examples, because it appears at the end of a sentence. Since there is no "next" element that Z could modify, there is no need to append '''-s''' to Z (and indeed it would be incorrect to do so). === Word order === SOV (usual) or OSV In general, a modifier precedes what it modifies. == Noun phrases == === Articles === These ''follow'' the noun and are, in general, ''compulsory'', for any phrase intended to function as a noun phrase. But pronouns, of course, do not need articles. (Syntactically speaking, the noun is thought of as "modifying" its article, even though semantically speaking, it seems to be the other way round. This is why the article comes at the end of the noun phrase.) Articles receive compulsory ''case endings''. (See below.) Nouns aren't inflected at all as such: articles indicate number and case for noun phrases. Sing. def. '''l''' Pl. def. '''k''' Sing. indef. '''s''' Pl. indef. '''m''' === Case endings === nominative '''-e''' accusative/ genitive '''-o''' dative '''-ai''' Note that these are added to articles and pronouns, but not to nouns, and not to demonstratives. == Verbal endings == Verbal endings indicate aspect, tense and mood. But there is no passive voice as such; and verbs are not altered for number or person. === Mood === These come last of all. Indicative “there is” '''(nil)''' Imperative (short form) '''-p''' Imperative (long form) (see below) '''-vaa''' Infinitive '''-ce''' The short form of the imperative corresponds to the familiar English imperative. '''Raazup!''' means simply "Criticise!" The long form, however, is better translated as "make there be..." or "let there be...". Thus '''Raazuvaa!''' means "let there be criticising!" It does not imply that the person the speaker is addressing is being commanded to do the criticising themselves. They are being commanded to cause that there is criticising performed by someone. In fact, the short imperative '''Raazup''' can be regarded as concise form of '''Ve raazuvaa.''' i.e. "Let there be criticising ''by you''." === Tense === These come just before the mood marker. Present (usually ommitted) '''-nee-''' Past (sometimes ommitted if context allows) '''-co-''' Future '''-tau-''' === Aspect === These come just before the tense marker. simple '''(nil)''' habitual '''-baa-''' continuous '''-nii-''' perfect '''-haa-''' future '''-tau-''' (same as tense) === Examples === '''raazuco''', ''criticised'' '''raazuhaaco''', ''had criticised'' '''raazutauce''', ''to be going to criticise (in the future)'' '''raazup''', ''criticise!'' '''raazutauco''', ''was going to criticise'' '''raazubaaco''', ''used to criticise'' == Pronouns == For demonstratives, see the next section. === Personal pronouns === These are listed below in order of nom., acc., dat. forms. Possessive (genitive) forms, as attributive, precede the noun phrase, and the noun must still take the article, e.g.: '''qo haiga le''', ''my movie''; '''hos nauzun mennu ke''', ''their original names''. 1st person singular: '''qe, qo, qai'''; plural '''goqe, goqo, goqai'''. 2nd person singular: '''ve, vo, vai'''; plural: '''gove, govo, govai'''. 3rd person animate singular: '''te, to, tai'''; plural: '''he, ho, hai'''. 3rd person inanim. singular: '''ze, zo, zai'''; plural: '''he, ho, hai'''. === Relative pronouns === These are quite frequently used. The relative clause precedes the modified noun. There are two relative pronouns. There is a concise one, which cannot handle more complicated types of construction; and there is a less concise one, which can handle complex constructions. ''The concise option'': '''d-''' Declined according to the modified noun's case with respect to the verb in the relative clause. Placed directly ''after'' the relative clause's verb. The relative clause's verb is in the indicative. ''The flexible option'': '''siim-''' Declined according to case within relative clause. Placed within the relative clause itself, i.e. somewhere ''before'' the relative clause's verb. The relative clause's verb is in put into the infinitive. == Demonstratives == These can serve as adjectives or as pronouns. As an (attributive) adjective, the order is: noun-demonstrative-article. The article is compulsory. As a pronoun, the construction is demonstrative-article. Again the article is compulsory. '''taa''' that, those ''' nii ''' this, these E.g.: '''kooba taa le''', ''that jacket'' (nominative); '''nii lo''', ''this'' (as pronoun, accusative); '''taa kai''', ''those'' (dative); '''Kooba nii se''', ''one of these jackets'' (nom.). == Postpositions == These come after the article, which must be in the genitive/accusative case. See [[Gaaziketti: Lexicon]] for more postpositions. '''baa''' with, using, via, by means of. '''bii''' in '''nuuta''' on == Some illustrative sentences == '''Kuubu lo deelu les cecca sen paa.''' The slave’s enemy is a soldier. '''Kossakaidu les haiga lo mennu lon raazu.''' The jeweller criticises the movie’s name. '''Kossakaidu les siimo mennu lon raazuce haiga le nauzu.''' The movie whose name the jeweller criticised is original. '''Haiga lo mennu lo raazu de kossakaidu le cooqi.''' The jeweller who criticises the movie’s name is silent. '''Cooqi de kossakaidu les haiga lon raazu.''' The silent jeweller critises the movie. '''Kossakaidu les haiga lok cooqi den raazu.''' The jeweller criticises the movie silently. (Can be read as: "There is some criticising, which is (a) by the jeweller, (b) of the movie, and (c) silent.".) = Lexicon = See [[Gaaziketti: Lexicon]] = Background = I invented Gaaziketti for the fun of it. I wanted it - among other things - to have a grammar which parses unambiguously, i.e. so that you always know what qualifies what in a sentence, and furthermore so that (even ignoring the written spaces between words) it is always possible to figure out where the boundaries between morphemes are (say if you are a computer). (Basically, '''i''', '''a''' and '''u''' occur as ''single'' vowels only in the second and subsequent syllables of a morpheme, and no other vowel can occur in such a syllable.) I also wanted the grammar to be flexible and uniform, i.e. to be very ''general'', with few or no exceptions and few "sub-rules". Also it had to be reasonably concise, but while being fairly easily pronounceable, having few consonant clusters, few vowels and diphthongs, and few rare consonants. Also, I wanted to minimise the number of pairs of words in the lexicon that differed only ''slightly'', i.e. I built redundancy into it, as in real languages (although the way I built it in was somewhat artificial and "automatic"). Also I wanted to respect as far as possible the language "universals" that are true of most natural languages. And I wanted easily to be able to make new words by just conjoining two existing ones. On the other hand, I didn't care about resemblance between the Gaaziketti lexicon and that of natural languages. Trying to reconcile all these goals was something of a challenge, but I think I've got something I'm reasonably happy with. There is a bit more to it than what is above, incl. a (lazily auto-generated) provisional vocab of 1600 words. But I've yet to finalise a lot of the "small" words like personal pronouns, postpositions, conjunctions, tense-markers and so forth. I am also (extremely slowly) developing a language called [[Taaluketti]], which shares similar goals as the above, but with a different underlying grammar.

If it meant the second thing, one could say '''Ve raazup''' to mean ''criticise!'' Similar questions surround the infinitive. Probably a solution is to have a short inflexible form, & a less compact, but more flexible alternative form (as with the relative pronoun).

Nordaþ language 1787 54277 2010-05-24T10:15:15Z Matsuzuma 1389 {{wip}} The '''Nordaþ''' language (Nordaþ: ''Nordaþïsk'') is a [[Germanic]] language spoken in [[Terra Matsu]], and parts of [[Kart-Hadašt]] and [[Mitsujiya]]. There are about 4 billion speakers, most of which live in Terra Matsu. Nordaþ is related to [[Kythish]], a language Germanic in origin. These languages borrow from each other sparsely. == Geographic distribution == Nordaþ is spoken primarily in Terra Matsu, in half of Mitsujiya, and in a quarter of Kart-Hadašt. Nordaþ is also spoken on the extreme western edges of Kythe. [[Säämiki]] has its own set of Nordaþ dialects within its small territories. In the places that do speak Nordaþ there, most master the standard dialect. == History == Nordaþ arrived with several stranded ships carrying Germanic-speaking peoples. No records exist of the language before it was in its current state at the time. However, Nordaþ soon developed many dialects as the populace began to grow and the people parted, often being separated by deep forests, rivers, and large mountains. During the formation of the Matsui Empire, literature began to boom. As the Empire encountered the Säämi peoples to the north, the small empire assimilated their concept of vowel harmony. However, only the northern parts of the empire had began to assimilate it. This disunification increased the difficulty in authors' striving to write works that were comprehensible within the majority of the nation. Writers were the sole power in unifying the language as they worked to produce titles understandable in the widest area possible. Most writers of the time adopted vowel harmony, which eventually was fully integrated into every part of the growing land. As the empire's influence grew, this gradual standardisation became quicker. Children began being educated in the standard dialect and not in their local dialect. Gradually, the dialects of major cities and many regions dissolved, and eventually, so too did the more rural and obscure dialects. As the language unified, the grammar solidified. Nordaþ shifted into a pro-drop language and became more inflectional. The production of the Nordaþ Dictionary marked the first official lingual resource for the language and marked the begining of modern Nordaþ. Before the empire dissolved, a spelling reform was instituted to correct the difference in the spelling system of Nordaþ, which then reflected Late Old Nordaþ, to properly reflect modern Nordaþ. This reform ushered in the completion of the maturity of Nordaþ. == Writing system/Phonology == {| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left: 0.5em" |- !bgcolor="#E0E0FF" align="center" style="padding: 1px"|Nordaþ language |- !bgcolor="#000000" align="center"| |- |bgcolor="#F9F9F9" style="padding: 3px 2px 3px 5px"| [[Nordaþ phonology|Pronunciation]]<br /> [[Writing system of Nordaþ|Writing system]]<br /> [[Nordaþ grammar|Grammar]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ determiners|Determiners]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ nouns|Nouns]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ noun cases|Cases]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ affixes|Affixes]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ pronouns|Pronouns]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ adjectives|Adjectives]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ verbs|Verbs]]<br /> |} Nordaþ is written using a variant of the Latin alphabet, and has a phonemic orthography - pronunciation can be exactly determined from the written language. Nordaþ's alphabet omits a few letters from the Latin alphabet. Accented letters (''äëï'') are considered separate letters in Nordaþ. Nordaþ's alphabet includes the following: <code>a ä b d ð e ë f g h i ï j k l m n o p r s š t þ u ü v w y z ž</code> An extra letter, 'ü', exists only in the diphthong 'aü'. It has the sound value of '{{IPA|ʊ}}'. Additionally, the Nordaþ language can optionally be written in the Cyrillic alphabet to which there is a one-to-one correspondence. However, usage of the Cyrillic alphabet with the language isn't officially sanctioned. <code>а ӑ б д џ е є ф г х и й ј к л м н о п р с ш т ц у ӳ в ү ў з ж</code> Stress falls on the penultima in Nordaþ, unless the final syllable or prepenultima has a double vowel. However, words with only one syllable have no stress. ''See [[Nordaþ phonology]] for a table including Nordaþ's alphabet and IPA equivalents'' == Grammar == :''See the main article [[Nordaþ grammar]]'' Nordaþ is a highly inflected language, with over a hundred verb forms and over thirty noun declensions. Syntax is largely unbounded, although an idea to be stressed will often be put in the beginning of the sentence. ''See also [[Nordaþ lexicon]]'' === Noun Inflection === Nordaþ nouns inflect into: *One of two numbers: singular, plural *49 cases/postpositional attachments Nordaþ forms left-branching noun compounds, where the first noun modifies the category given by the second. Unlike English, which uses a space between the modifying noun and the second noun, Nordaþ merges the words. Vowel harmony is only recognised within the individual nouns and no changes must be made to the entire compound for harmony. Nordaþ allows for arbitrarily long compounds. === Verb inflection === All Nordaþ verbs are 'weak'. Thus, there are no irregular verbs within the language. Additionally, all verbs inflect: * By nine pronouns * Into five moods: Indicative, Conditional, Subjunctive, Passive, and Imperative * By three aspects: Perfect, imperfect, and progressive == Cognates with [[English]] == {| |- ! '''Nordaþ word''' ! English cognate |- |ädeese || address |- |alas || all |- |baaþ || bath |- |blasos || blaze |- |kaltïs || cold |- |laiþra || ladder |- |lipäs || lip |- |netä || net |- |renes || rain |- |sunþa || south |- |watras || water |- |} == Name order == Nordaþ uses uses the "eastern" name order, wherein the family name comes before the surname. Unlike many languages, these words are declined regularly - that is to say, the family name is given the appropriate noun suffix, and the surname is given the adjective suffix. Referring to someone by their given name is considered inappropriate unless the person speaking is both talking specifically to the person they are referring to, and even then only if they are close friends (or in any relationship more intimate). In that case, the given name is declined as a noun instead of an adjective. == Examples == * Nordaþan (person): ''Nordaþvame'' <nowiki>[noɹ.daθ.ˈva.mɛ]</nowiki> * Nordaþ (language): ''Nordaþïsk'' <nowiki>[noɹ.ˈdaθ.ɪsk]</nowiki> * hello: ''halo'' <nowiki>[ˈha.lo]</nowiki> (used formally and casually) * hey: ''haaj'' <nowiki>[haːj]</nowiki> (used intimately) * goodbye: ''näkemi'' <nowiki>[næ.ˈkɛ.mɪ]</nowiki> (used formal/casual) * bye: ''djaa'' <nowiki>[djaː]</nowiki> (used intimately) * please: ''beles'' <nowiki>[ˈbɛ.lɛs]</nowiki> * I would like ___, please: ''Wyle ___, betles'' <nowiki>[wy.ˈlɛ ___, ˈbɛ.lɛs]</nowiki> * sorry: ''lene änsyes'' <nowiki>[ˈlɛ.nɛ æn.ˈsy.ɛs]</nowiki> * thank you: ''danke su-tei'' <nowiki>[ˈdan.kɛ ˈsu.tɛ.i]</nowiki> * that/this: ''þes'' <nowiki>[θɛs]</nowiki> ''þäs'' <nowiki>[θæs]</nowiki> * how much?: ''kases taku?'' <nowiki>[ˈka.sɛs ˈta.ku]</nowiki> * how much does it cost?: ''kases taku-tei djyriþe?'' <nowiki>[ˈka.sɛs ˈta.ku.tɛ.i djy.ˈri.θɛ]</nowiki> * yes: ''ja'' <nowiki>[ja]</nowiki> * no: ''nej'' <nowiki>[ˈnɛj]</nowiki> * I don't understand: ''nan alsate'' <nowiki>[nan al.ˈsa.te]</nowiki> * where's the bathroom?: ''vesa lene kas-äeti?'' <nowiki>[ˈvɛ.sa ˈlɛ.nɛ ˈkas.æ.ɛ.ti]</nowiki> * juice: ''sab'' <nowiki>[sab]</nowiki> * water: ''watra'' <nowiki>[ˈwa.tɾa]</nowiki> * tea: ''të'' <nowiki>[te]</nowiki> * milk: ''melk'' <nowiki>[mɛlk]</nowiki> * Do you speak English?: ''þykje Inglïndïsk-tei?'' <nowiki>[ˈθyk.jɛ in.ˈɡlɪnd.ɪsk.tɛ.i]</nowiki> * I love you: ''su-tei libe'' <nowiki>[ˈsu.te.i ˈli.bɛ]</nowiki> * I love you (platonic or otherwise): ''su-tei liepe'' <nowiki>[ˈsu.te.i li.ˈɛ.pɛ]</nowiki> * help!: ''redekäse!'' <nowiki>[ɾɛ.dɛ.ˈkæ.sɛ]</nowiki> === Numbers === These numbers listed have been declined as nouns in the nominative case.

''‚'' and ''‘'' are used to begin initial quotes. ''„'' and ''“'' are used for quotes within quotes. == Stress == Nordaþ words are stressed in the penultima, typically. However, if the word ends in a doubled vowel, then the ultima receives the stress. Compounded words are stressed as if each word within were a separate word.

There are 22 cases named in English - the rest are formed with affixed postpositions. As how in English prepositions can become adverbs, so too can affixed postpositions in Nordaþ. The singular neuter form is always taken and the suffix "lis" is attached to it. As an adverb, it stands alone. {| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left: 0.5em" |- !bgcolor="#E0E0FF" align="center" style="padding: 1px"|[[Nordaþ language]] |- !bgcolor="#000000" align="center"| |- |bgcolor="#F9F9F9" style="padding: 3px 2px 3px 5px"| [[Nordaþ phonology|Pronunciation]]<br/> [[Writing system of Nordaþ|Writing system]]<br/> [[Nordaþ grammar|Grammar]]<br/> *[[Nordaþ determiners|Determiners]]<br/> *[[Nordaþ nouns|Nouns]]<br/> **[[Nordaþ noun cases|Cases]]<br/> **[[Nordaþ affixes|Affixes]]<br/> *[[Nordaþ pronouns|Pronouns]]<br/> *[[Nordaþ adjectives|Adjectives]]<br/> *[[Nordaþ verbs|Verbs]]<br/> |} == Named cases == There are 31 named cases in Nordaþ.

However, if a word is to be stressed, it is put at the beginning of the sentence and stressed harder than normally. Nordaþ is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_language synthetic language], and is undefinable further as an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agglutinative_language agglutinative] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusional_language fusional] language as it exhibits signs of both. In language, agglutination is where there are several "chunks" - affixes which come together at the end of a word to give it meaning. Such languages include [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_language Turkish], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl_language Nahuatl] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language Japanese]. Fusional languages, however, only use one affix to give meanings. These affixes carry more than one meaning, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language Spanish] ''com'''í''''', wherein '''''í''''' carries the meanings of indicative mood, past tense, first person singular subject and perfect aspect. ''See also [[Nordaþ wordhoard]]'' == Vowel Harmony == {| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left: 0.5em" |- !bgcolor="#E0E0FF" align="center" style="padding: 1px"|[[Nordaþ language]] |- !bgcolor="#000000" align="center"| |- |bgcolor="#F9F9F9" style="padding: 3px 2px 3px 5px"| [[Nordaþ phonology|Pronunciation]]<br /> [[Writing system of Nordaþ|Writing system]]<br /> '''Grammar'''<br /> *[[Nordaþ determiners|Determiners]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ nouns|Nouns]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ noun cases|Cases]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ affixes|Affixes]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ pronouns|Pronouns]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ adjectives|Adjectives]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ verbs|Verbs]]<br /> |} Nordaþ is unique from all other Germanic (and PIE) languages in the fact that it has vowel harmony. Vowel harmony was inherited from a neighbouring language when the language was young - Proto-Säämi. In Nordaþ, there are three types of vowels: Front (''ä, e, ë, i, y''), middle (''ï, ai, äu, oi''), and back (''a, o, u''). Front vowels cannot under any circumstance appear with a back vowel, though they can appear with each other and middle vowels (same for back vowels). Affixes to words in Nordaþ must also follow vowel harmony according to the word they are inflecting. Affixes will have either front/neutral forms, or neutral/back forms. It is improper for a front-vowel word to take a middle affix if it could take a front affix instead - the same is true of back-vowelled words. However, a word with all middle vowels will take a front-vowel affix. == Nouns == Nouns are given their function by suffixes attached to the stem, of which 22 cases and 27 "prepositional cases" are used to give the stem its noun role. Other suffixes, however, attach to the stem before the main case suffixes - these are used to indicate such things as the one which does the act, the one which receives the act, etc. For example: ''dekäsdeeri'' (The helper) vs. ''dekäseneri'' (A helper), ''dekäsdenäi'' (The helped) vs. ''dekäsenäi'' (A helped), and ''dekäsdei'' (The help). Prefixes are additionally added to convey extra meaning, such as "self-" or "mis-". For example: :''mïswaktjanï'' :mis observation-(nominative) :misobservation As another example: :''ilkäelewäräneren'' :self password-(performer noun)-(nominative plural) :self-passworders Nordaþ nouns are used for the same purposes as English nouns, that is, they represent both concrete ideas and abstract ones. Like English, there are countable and uncountable nouns. Like English, Nordaþ pluralises nouns when necessary. Unlike English, however, Nordaþ has three noun genders: Masculine, feminine, and neuter. Most nouns take on the neuter ending. The only ones that don't are animate objects which actually take gender and inanimate objects strongly assosciated with something of a particular gender. However, such words are few as Nordaþ peoples don't tend to wear gender-specific clothing (if they're actually wearing clothing at all). ''See also [[Nordaþ noun cases]] and [[Nordaþ affixes]]'' == Verbs == Nordaþ verbs can take on a maximum of 180 conjugations. Verbs conjugate by pronoun and tense/aspect/mood. Subjects of verbs are always omitted as the verb inflection carries this information. Like nouns, verbs can take on prefix modifiers to indicate, for example, in what fashion actions are completed. For example: :''mïsdeasmïganþ'' :mis understand-(indicative past) :he misunderstood ''See also [[Nordaþ verbs]]'' == Adverbs == Adverbs follow the same pattern of word order that adjectives do. They follow the verb they modify unless the adverb is being stressed. Adverbs always carry their suffix, and are never declined any differently. == Adjectives == :''Main article: [[Nordaþ adjectives]]'' Adjectives follow the noun they describe. Unlike in Latin, adjectives are not declined to match the noun, adjective, or adverb they describe. Instead, they are declined merely according to the comparitive/superlative/regular standard. However, adjectives don't always come after the noun they describe. This exception is permissable when the adjective is being stressed, such as "a green lawn" vs. "a blue lawn" or something of that sort. This reminds of the case with general word order in Nordaþ wherein the word being most stressed in the sentence will come first with appropriate emphasis on the spoken word. Additionally, Nordaþ allows nouns acting as adjectives to be merged with the noun. They attach in front of the noun, unlike standard adjective behaviour. In English, these words are typically written in structures like this: <code> the-paragraph-of-descriptions-about-equality </code> (This particular word, however, would be written something like "the equality descriptions paragraph" in Nordaþ. Not all clusters of words will drop their prepositions and conjunctions etc.) They are also written as standard compound words in English, such as "Freedom killer". Additionally, they are sometimes written as "creator of love". Unlike in Rejistanian, ordinals are regular. They are declined according to the adjectival guideline (or adverbal). Comparison in Nordaþ is simple. Since "than" is considered a noun case, its suffix is appended to the root of the noun. "Less" and "more" are considered nouns when following a verb such as "to have" or "to be", but adverbs when following another noun in English, such as "years", and are declined as direct objects. Such words as "much/many" and "by far" are treated as standard adjectives and modify the less/more noun/adverb. For example: :''Häbiene minieiti jerämynen oktosïs altaïsïï.'' :I have less than eight years of age. :''Häbiene minilës jerämeiti oktosïs altaïsïï hiynen.'' :I have eight years age less than he has. :''Häbiene mäzereiti manïgïs ïlkaraapanïrunïn dekääses.'' :I have many more than ten automobiles. == Determiners == :''Main article: [[Nordaþ determiners]]'' Determiners function in the same way as adjectives with the exception of possessive adjectives. Declining possessive adjectives in the manner of adjectives is considered uneducated. == Pronouns == :''Main article: [[Nordaþ pronouns]]'' Nordaþ has several pronouns that are all declined like regular nouns. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !bgcolor="#E0E0FF"|Pronoun !bgcolor="#E0E0FF"|Prynäuvi |- |I/We (inc)||''Ik'' |- |You/You all||''Þu'' |- |We (exc)||''Vi'' |- |He||''He'' |- |She||''Si'' |- |It/They (Neuter)/They (Plural)||''Het'' |} == Prepositions == Nordaþ has no true prepositions, though it has many adverbs that an English speaker may mistake for a preposition - despite the fact that even in English the usage of these words would indicate that they are in-fact an adverb. == Conjunctions == Conjunctions are truly the only class of words which may be considered irregular, at least within itself. Conjunctions have no set endings.

The next section explains their usage. '''Subject ("Nominative case")''' *ike/ikä, þuï/þua/þuïï, iken, þuïn, vien, heä, sie, heti, heten '''Object ("Accusative case")''' *ikeite/ikeitä, þuïïtï/þuïïta/þuïïtïï, ikeiten, þuïïtïn, vieiten, heeitä, sieite, heteiti, heteiten '''Indirect Object ("Dative case")''' *ikäte/ikätä, þuatï/þuata/þuatïï, ikäten, þuatïn, viäten, heätä, siäte, hetäti, hetäten '''Possessive ("Genitive case")''' *ikise/ikisä, þuïsï/þuïsa/þuïsïï, ikisen, þuïsïn, viisen, heisä, siisen, hetisi, hetisen Pronouns can be declined in other ways, as well: Refer to [[Nordaþ noun cases]] == General explanation of usage == The dative pronouns (icäte/icätä, duatï/duata/duatïï, et al) are used to replace the indirect object of a sentence. They are generally placed in front of any accusative pronouns. The accusative pronouns are used to replace the direct object of the sentence. These are generally put directly before the verb. The genitive forms are akin to the English terms "of me", "of you", "of him" etc. However, they are not restricted to either the front or the back of the word which is owned. Additionally, they can stand alone and function as the noun forms "mine", "yours", "his" etc. while still literally saying "of me" et al. == Demonstrative pronouns == *Near the speaker ("this"): þesämä, þesämi, þesäme *Near the listener ("that"): þasemä, þasemi, þaseme *Away from both the speaker and listener ("that over there"): þesemä, þesemi, þeseme<br /> (Note that the above are only given in the nominative forms and always decline regularly) == Relative pronouns == === Ke* === ''Ke*'' is derived from the Latin ''QVID'' and means 'that' or 'which'. :''Þäsemi, kei senþ, senþ. Þäsemi, kei nänsenþ, nänsenþ. Senþ þäsemi esi? Esi senþ.'' :That, that is, is. That, that is not, is not. Is that it? It is. Ke* inflects for the gender of the item it is describing and declines as a regular noun in every form. === Ve* === ''Ve*'' is derived from the ancient Proto-Germanic ''χwas'', and means 'who'/'whom'. It inflects for number and gender. Ve* can replace ke* when the subject is a person. === Kwis*, Van*, Kwe* === ''Kwis*'' means where. Van* signifies when. Kwe* means how. ==== Location & movement ==== Like ve*, kwis* can replace ke* when the subject is a location. This expression must utilise the locative case. *Letjendei, keääti/kwiääti sene. ''The place that/where I am at.'' ==== Manner ==== Kwe* can replace ke* when the subject concerns the manner in which something is performed. This expression must utilise the instrumental case. *Formdei, keþairi/kweþairi deädfikst þuïn. ''The way that/how you all reacted.'' ==== Time ==== Van* can replace ke* when the subject deals with time. This expression utilises the postpositional case of "during". Van* tends to be used in non-defining clauses, whereas ke* is usually used with defining clauses. However, they are still interchangeable. *Äugustmïþïï, vanmïþïï/kemïþi vekaien häbiþ fraidägeiten, byrkdei besenþ läuseis. ''In August, during when/during that the people have holidays, the town will be empty.'' [[Category:Nordaþ]] Nordaþ verbs 1794 54111 2010-05-10T03:03:46Z Matsuzuma 1389 /* Mood, tense, and aspect - forms of the verb */ {{wip}} '''[[Nordaþ_language|Nordaþ]] verbs''' are the fusional part of the synthetic language Nordaþ. They conjugate according to the indicative, conditional, subjunctive, potential, and imperative moods. Verbs have infinitive forms, but unlike many other languages, they do not have participle or gerund forms. == Mood, tense, and aspect - forms of the verb == {| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left: 0.5em" |- !bgcolor="#E0E0FF" align="center" style="padding: 1px"|[[Nordaþ language]] |- !bgcolor="#000000" align="center"| |- |bgcolor="#F9F9F9" style="padding: 3px 2px 3px 5px"| [[Nordaþ phonology|Pronunciation]]<br /> [[Writing system of Nordaþ|Writing system]]<br /> [[Nordaþ grammar|Grammar]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ determiners|Determiners]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ nouns|Nouns]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ noun cases|Cases]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ affixes|Affixes]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ pronouns|Pronouns]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ adjectives|Adjectives]]<br /> *'''Verbs'''<br /> |} To illustrate the behaviour of verb conjugations in Nordaþ, let us use ''dekäsän'' "to help". First, here is the non-finite conjugation of the verb: === Infinitive === To help: ''dekäsän'' In Nordaþ, verbs do not conjugate to person or number; instead, verbs are used (when context does not provide) with pronouns. For the active, conjugated verb, the -än ending is dropped and -e is added to it. Hence, mäg dekäse, iei dekäse, and so forth. === Indicative === Next, there is the indicative mood with its eleven tenses. The indicative mood is used to describe factual events. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !bgcolor="#E0E0FF"|'''Indicative'''||Affixes||Example||English usage |- |Present||&nbsp;||dekäse||I help |- |Present Perfect||er-||er-dekäse||I have helped |- |Present Progressive||ei- + -i||ei-dekäsei||I am helping |- |Present Perfect Progressive||er- + -i||er-dekäsei||I have been helping |- |Praeterite||de-||de-dekäse||I helped |- |Pluperfect||der-||der-dekäse||I had helped |- |Praeterite Progressive||de- + -i||de-dekäsei||I was helping |- |Pluperfect Progressive||der- + -i||der-dekäsei||I had been helping |- |Future||be-||be-dekäse||I will help |- |Future Perfect||ber-||ber-dekäse||I will have helped |- |Future Progressive||be- + -i||be-dekäsei||I will be helping |- |Future Perfect Progressive||ber- + -i||ber-dekäsei||I will have been helping |- |Imperfect||ke-||ke-dekäse||I used to help |- |Imperfect Perfect||ker-||ker-dekäse||I have used to help |- |Imperfect Pluperfect||me-||me-dekäse||I had used to help |- |Imperfect Progressive||ke- + -i||ke-dekäsei||I used to be helping |- |Imperfect Perfect Progressive||ker- + -i||ker-dekäsei||I have used to be helping |- |Imperfect Pluperfect Progressive||me- + -i||me-dekäsei||I had used to be helping |} === Subjunctive === The subjunctive mood is a complex one and is classified into six patterns. All use the particle "se" to indicate the subjunctive. ==== Hypothetical ==== Also referred to by the term "second conditional", the hypothetical has two forms. They are structured in much the same way as English, with the main difference being that whilst one can invert word order and omit "if" in English, in Nordaþ this is required to prevent ambiguosity. Present If + subjunctive, would + verb (English)<br /> Si + se + praeterite, se + present tense (Nordaþ) :''Si se de-lene su, se puhuai lä-äti.'' :If I were you, I would talk to her. Present II If + were + present participle, would + verb (English)<br /> Si + se + present progressive, se + present tense (Nordaþ) :''Si se ätei, se istyäe.'' :Were I eating, I should sit. ==== Jussive ==== The jussive carries three forms. These forms all use "se", but "si" cannot be used in conjunction with these forms of the subjunctive. I. Subordinate that + subjunctive (English)<br /> that + se + present tense (Nordaþ) :''Vaatjae, þäs Napoleon se selenþe.'' :I demand that Napoleon surrender. II. Present se + present tense (Nordaþ) :''Se lene e e-geki se lene.'' :Be that as it may (be). :''Keve yt se su keve.'' :I give so that you may give. III. Praeterite se + praeterite tense (Nordaþ) :''Se de-lene e-geki'' :As it were ==== Third Conditional ==== If + past perfect, would have + past participle (English)<br /> Si + se + pluperfect, se + praeterite (Nordaþ) :''Si se der-lieme erei-mïþi Elisebeþ-isi, se de-hoite alas plei-isi Šëkspir-isi.'' :If I had lived during the Elizabethan era, I would have attended all of Shakespeare's plays. === Imperative === The imperative mood states a command. It only exists in present form. The imperative is formed by a prefix attaching to other prefixes in the indicative. The imperative can attach to the present, the future, and the future progressive. The prefix is re- {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !bgcolor="#E0E0FF"|'''Imperative'''||Affixes||Example||English usage |- |Present||re-||re-dekäse su||You help |- |Future||re-||rebe-dekäse su||You will help |- |Future Progressive||re-||rebe-dekäsei su||You will be helping |} :''Rebe-dekäsei su. Nuv-ääti.'' :You will be helping. Now. === Passive === The passive is formed by a prefix attaching to the other prefixes in the indicative. The passive attaches to all but the imperfect progressives. The prefix is "fe/fï". :''Lä-eiti fede-dekäse Tod.'' :He was helped by Tod. === Negation === To express negativity, nan is used regardless of mood or aspect/tense. :''Nan re-dekäse!'' :Don't help!

The main difference is that that they "agree" with what they refer to in terms of both number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine) and inflect to show placement. == Demonstrative determiners == {| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left: 0.5em" |- !bgcolor="#E0E0FF" align="center" style="padding: 1px"|[[Nordaþ language]] |- !bgcolor="#000000" align="center"| |- |bgcolor="#F9F9F9" style="padding: 3px 2px 3px 5px"| [[Nordaþ phonology|Pronunciation]]<br /> [[Writing system of Nordaþ|Writing system]]<br /> [[Nordaþ grammar|Grammar]]<br /> *'''Determiners'''<br /> *[[Nordaþ nouns|Nouns]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ noun cases|Cases]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ affixes|Affixes]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ pronouns|Pronouns]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ adjectives|Adjectives]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ verbs|Verbs]]<br /> |} Nordaþ has three levels of demonstrative adjectives: :1. Closest to the speaker (proximal): þesämis :2. Closest to the hearer (distal): þäsemis :3. Far from both (distal): þesemis == Articles == === Definite article === The definite article in Nordaþ is -de*/-dï*, and attaches directly to the stem word. Any inflections to it are added after the de/dï. The D is dropped if the stem ended in a D. === Indefinite article === The indefinite article in Nordaþ is -en*/-ïn*, and is used the same way that -de*/-dï* is. The E is only dropped if the stem ended in two. == Possessive determiners == Unlike Romance languages, Nordaþ does not distinguish between genitive pronouns and genitive adjectives - they are both genitive pronouns in Nordaþ. (See also [[Nordaþ pronouns]].) [[Category:Nordaþ]] Nordaþ nouns 1797 9336 2006-05-29T14:05:34Z Muke 1 categ nordaþ The [[Nordaþ language]] has nouns that express concrete objects, groups and classes of objects, qualities, feelings and other abstractions. All nouns have a conventional grammatical gender. Countable nouns inflect for number (singular and plural). == Gender == {| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left: 0.5em" |- !bgcolor="#E0E0FF" align="center" style="padding: 1px"|[[Nordaþ language]] |- !bgcolor="#000000" align="center"| |- |bgcolor="#F9F9F9" style="padding: 3px 2px 3px 5px"| [[Nordaþ phonology|Pronunciation]]<br /> [[Writing system of Nordaþ|Writing system]]<br /> [[Nordaþ grammar|Grammar]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ determiners|Determiners]]<br /> *'''Nouns'''<br /> **[[Nordaþ noun cases|Cases]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ affixes|Affixes]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ pronouns|Pronouns]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ adjectives|Adjectives]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ verbs|Verbs]]<br /> |} All Nordaþ nouns have one of three grammatical genders: Masculine, neuter, and feminine. Unlike most languages, Nordaþ uses mostly the neuter gender as its genders are not arbitrarily assigned. Unlike many other languages, adjectives do not agree in number nor gender with nouns and they usually come before the noun. Additionally, they do not inflect as in Latin. Pronouns also take gender. When any pronoun is unknown, the neuter may be used. It is akin to English "it", though without the negative conotations. Nordaþ also has an "it" that takes English's singular "they" function. It only ever takes the neuter gender. Note - Nordaþ has a separate it with which verbs from "it" are conjugated as they would 'lec' (they). Proper names when not referring to a person are usually neuter. The exception is when a word in the proper segment takes a masculine or feminine gender. Like pronouns, verbs, et al their endings are based on whether they are a front-vowelled word or a back-vowelled word. == Number == Nouns in the Nordaþ language are inflected to show singular and plural. Plurals end in -en and are all considered to be neuter. Also, in some cases, Nordaþ will use a singular where English uses plural. For example, the English "pants" can be taken to mean either one pair of pants or many. In Nordaþ, the singular word is ''broksaïï'', but the plural is ''broksaïn''. In this case, the singular refers to only one. == Diminutive == In Nordaþ, the diminutive is -let*/-lït*. It conveys the meaning of smallness or dearness. The L is dropped if the stem ended with an L. [[Category:Nordaþ]] Nordaþ adjectives 1798 54169 2010-05-16T21:50:27Z Matsuzuma 1389 The [[Nordaþ language]] uses adjectives in a very similar fashion to English. One difference is in that adjectives' endings reflect the type of vowels (front or back) in the word. == Descriptive and attributive uses == {| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left: 0.5em" |- !bgcolor="#E0E0FF" align="center" style="padding: 1px"|[[Nordaþ language]] |- !bgcolor="#000000" align="center"| |- |bgcolor="#F9F9F9" style="padding: 3px 2px 3px 5px"| [[Nordaþ phonology|Pronunciation]]<br /> [[Writing system of Nordaþ|Writing system]]<br /> [[Nordaþ grammar|Grammar]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ determiners|Determiners]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ nouns|Nouns]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ noun cases|Cases]]<br /> **[[Nordaþ affixes|Affixes]]<br /> *[[Nordaþ pronouns|Pronouns]]<br /> *'''Adjectives'''<br /> *[[Nordaþ verbs|Verbs]]<br /> |} === Comparative === Adjectives take on suffixes to distinguish comparative and superlative. Adjectives take on the -er endings to reflect comparativeness. ''belides'' (popular) → ''belider'' (more popular)<br /> ''dukases'' (able) → ''dukaser'' (more able) === Superlative === The superlative uses -ït/et in the same way as the comparative suffix is attached to the adjective. ''nisnäes'' (bendy) → ''nisnäest'' (most bendy)<br /> ''falïþes'' (faded) → ''falïþest'' (most faded) [[Category:Nordaþ]] Nordaþ prepositions 1799 5524 2005-11-12T18:02:34Z Matsu 52 #REDIRECT [[Nordaþ noun cases]] Bilabial consonant 1800 31663 2008-05-21T20:47:46Z Blackkdark 1214 /* List of bilabial consonants */ '''Bilabial''' consonants are those whose production involves contact between the lower lip and the upper lip.

These two dialogs are the only sources we have for this myth. According to Plato, who cites Solon the Lawgiver as his source, Atlantis was a large island in the "Atlantic Sea" somewhere beyond the Pillars of Hercules. The Atlanteans originally were a virtuous race, but later erred from the path of virtue and attempted to conquer the entire Mediterranean world, getting involved in a war with Athens and Egypt. The gods punished Atlantis by destroying the island, which is said to have happened 9,000 years before Solon's visit in Egypt where he received the tale. Most scholars now think that Plato simply made up the tale; but many (both serious academics and amateurs) have sought Atlantis in many different locations, some blatantly implausible, others reasonably conceivable. A popular image is that of a lost continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but geological evidence speaks against that, and it is not certain whether the "Atlantic Sea" of Plato's tale can be simply equated with what is now called the Atlantic Ocean. Other popular ideas, though entirely unsupported by the source, are that Atlantis was the "mother culture" of all ancient civilizations of Earth, and that it possessed technology and scientific knowledge far superior to that of the early 21st century. Also, it has been speculated that Atlantis was the same place as [[Hyperborea]], another legendary country of Greek mythology. The most frequently discussed of the less implausible localizations equates Atlantis with the [[Wikipedia:Minoan civilization|Minoan civilization]] and the fall of Atlantis with the [[Wikipedia:Minoan eruption|eruption of the Santorini volcano]]; however, the Minoan civilization was obviously not "beyond the Pillar of Hercules", and the years elapsed after the catastrophe would have to be divided by 10 (perhaps a translation error?). [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] speculates that in the Atlantis tale, the downfall of the Minoan civilization was confused with the story of another civilization, the [[British Elves]]. Atlantis would then have been Britain, and the "Atlantic Sea" the North Sea. Atlantis has been the subject of many novelizations and media adaptations, such as the 2001 animated film ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'', which features [[Atlantean|a conlang]]. Another famous Atlantis adaptation is ''Númenor'' in ''The Silmarillion'' by [[J. R. R. Tolkien]], which features [[Adûnaic|another conlang]].

Feel free to enter what information about worlds and languages you like, but keep in mind that the namespace is shared among everybody, so choose page titles carefully when writing about things with everyday names. For example, if you are writing about language in world X, it is better to have a page titled something like [[Language in world X]] than just [[Language]]. However if you are writing about things that are true or common mythology *here* you can use a more general name (so [[Atlantis]] as it stands now would be okay, but if you were to make it about your own or your group's Atlantis it would be better to choose a different page title). —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 08:37, 28 November 2005 (PST) FrathWiki:Naming conventions 1810 5578 2005-11-28T17:10:21Z Muke 1 new. {| class="toccolours" |- ||'''This page is a proposed FrathWiki policy.

The flag shows a white eight-pointed star in a blue field. [[Image:Star3.gif]] ==History== It is not known with certainty when this flag was first used, but tradition has it that it dates back to the ancient Elvish civilization, and the white 8-pointed star in a blue field appears to have been used as a device representing the British Elves at least since early Mediaeval times. It is not only traditionally used by the Elves of the [[United Kingdom of the Westlands]], but also by their cousins in [[Macaronesia]], whose coat of arms also contains the Evenstar. ==Usage== In the [[United Kingdom of the Westlands]], the Evenstar Flag is the official flag of the [[Province of Elfham]] and displayed on public building together with the flags of the UKW and the [[European Confederation]]. [[Category:UKW]] United Kingdom of the Westlands 1826 49900 2009-10-25T12:35:40Z WeepingElf 43 /* History */ The '''United Kingdom of the Westlands''' ('''UKW''') is a country located off the northwestern coast of Europe (in the [[UKW World]]), surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. The territory of the UKW consists of the Westlands, or British Isles. The UKW is composed of seven constitutent nations, in alphabetical order: *[[Cambria (UKW)|Cambria]] *[[Cornwall (UKW)|Cornwall]] *[[Elfham]] *[[England (UKW)|England]] *[[Isle of Man (UKW)|Isle of Man]] *[[Ireland (UKW)|Ireland]] *[[Scotland (UKW)|Scotland]] ==History== The Westlands have been settled by humans since Palaeolithic times. Written history in the Westlands begins with the [[Commonwealth of the Elves]], which according to tradition was established in the year 671 BC, though many historians assume that it was really established at a later date. After the [[Tartessian War]], the Westlands were taken over by Celtic tribes, and the history of this era remains largely unwritten until the Roman conquest of southern Britain in 43 CE. Southern Britain remained part of the Roman Empire until 410. In the 5th century, Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, conquered most of southern Britain. This part of Britain became the nation of England, which was unified in the 9th century by Alfred the Great. At about the same time, Scotland and Ireland became unified kingdoms. England was conquered by Norman French nobles under William the Bastard, who thus earned the name the Conqueror, in 1066. The Pendragon kings of the remaining Kingdom of Cambria, however, would eventually inherit the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland. By the year 1600, all four crowns of the Westlands were worn by the same head, and in 1701, the four kingdoms were officially united as the United Kingdom of the Westlands. ==Government and Politics== The UKW is a constiutional monarchy. The executive power is exercised on behalf of the monarch (King or Queen) by the Prime Minister and the cabinet. The cabinet is drawn from and responsible to Parliament, the legislative branch of the government. Parliament is a bicameral organ, consisting of the virtually powerless House of Lords and the democratically elected House of Commons. Since 1922, the [[Wikipedia: Single Transferable Vote|single transferable vote]] system has been used to elect the members of the House of Commons. The two largest parties of the UKW are the Labour Party and the Conservative Party; other important parties are the Liberal Party, the Green Party and the Alliance of Free Nations which consists of the Irish Parliamentary Party, the Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru (Cambria), Arthad Elbhrin (Elfham) and Mebyon Kernow (Cornwall). ===Subdivisions=== The UKW is a federal state; each of the seven constituent nations has its own executive and legislature. England, Cambria, Scotland and Ireland are subdivided into counties. Ireland is also subdivided into four traditional provinces (Ulster, Connacht, Leinster and Munster), each with an elected Provincial Council. England is subdivided into seven regions at an intermediate level (above counties). ==Languages== There are several different languages spoken in the UKW. The most important language of the UKW is English, which is the native language of the vast majority of the population. It is the only official language of England, but it is also official in all other constituent nations. Closely related is Scots, which is spoken in the Scottish Lowlands and has official status in Scotland. The Celtic languages of the UKW fall into two groups: Brythonic and Goidelic. The Brythonic languages of the UKW are Cambrian (official in Cambria, spoken by about 40% of the population of Cambria) and Cornish (official in Cornwall, spoken by about 10% of the population of Cornwall). The Goidelic languages are Irish (official in Ireland), Manx (official in the Isle of Man) and Scots Gaelic (spoken in the Scottish Highlands and islands, official in Scotland). Other languages include Shelta, Polari and Romani. Besides these, two non-Indo-European families are indigenous to the Westlands. The [[Albic]] languages include [[Low Elvish]] (official language of Elfham), and the tiny minority languages [[Caledonian]] in Scotland and [[Iverinian]] in Ireland. [[Pictish]], an unrecognized minority language of Scotland, is the sole survivor of the [[Coric]] family. Besides these, numerous immigrant languages are spoken in the UKW, mostly languages from former colonies of the kingdom. These include Hindustani, Panjabi, Tamil, Swahili and many others. UKW World 1827 47433 2009-07-21T20:47:25Z WeepingElf 43 The '''UKW World''' is an alternative history invented by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]. It is named after the [[United Kingdom of the Westlands]], a nation occupying the Britsh Isles in said universe. The UKW world is in most aspects similar to our world, with much of its history running in parallel. The point of divergence lies in the Dark Ages of Britain, and much of it is unclear (less unclear from the UKW World's side than from our viewpoint). Apparently, it involved King Arthur ''not'' campaigning against the Elves of [[Elfham]]; the result was that the Battle of Camlann never occured, but Arthur became the founder of a royal dynasty that united the Britons againt the Anglo-Saxons. Nevertheless, the Kingdom of Cambria suffered losses at the English in later centuries, though it fared better than Wales in our timeline. Eventually, through a series of dynastic marriages, the Pendragon dynasty would acquire the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland, which were united in the [[United Kingdom of the Westlands]] in 1701. ==Countries in the UKW World== This list is of course incomplete. *[[Commonwealth of North America]] *[[Macaronesia]] *[[United Kingdom of the Westlands]] ===Historical countries=== *[[Commonwealth of the Elves]] [[Category:Conworlds]] User:Still 1828 5650 2005-12-16T21:00:29Z Still 66 Language: [[Mvaqi]] Is currently being developed for a book.

The first history is that it was created by a graduate student of linguistics, Nathan Plains, as an academic exercise over the course of four years. The second is it is the indigenous language of the Mvaq people, whose origins are lost to the mists of time. The Mvaq people share many common characteristics with other Pacific Islander natives and Native Americans. However, their language does not resemble in any way either of those two groups. Original Mvaqi was not a written language until the 16th century, when Spanish/Portuguese explorer Mateo de la Nuestra Nostra Brisia de Orpheo Caltha landed on the shores of Mvaqi, an island chain in the eastern Pacific, 90 miles off the coast of Oregon. Since he was hard of hearing, he ordered that the native language of the Mvaq people be transcribed so that he may communicate with them. The Mvaqi written language has evolved slightly, but not much, from the original transcription.

A language is a system of signals used by two beings to communicate with one another. Language is set apart from other form of communication chiefly by it's capacity for abstraction and reference to things not present. Languages are most commonly spoken or signed, with the vast majority of languages being spoken, and a few being expressed in some other manner. Telling one language apart form another is usually quite simple, but there are cases where it can be difficult to say wheather or not two dialects belong to the same language, or if they are two different languages. This is because language, like living organisms, is subject to evolution, and therefore each language is analgogous to a species, and languages can in fact be classified genetically like living things can. Take for example English, English is a very large language, with very many dialects, sometimes two people who both speak english, but who speak different dialects, will not be able to understand one another, however, we can still call both dialects english, because there is a chain of dialects that can understand each other that lies between the two dialects, however, if for some reason everyone who spoke the dialects in between the two languages changed how they spoke enough that there was no longer a continum of understanding between the two dialects, they would then be different languages. Linguists think that this is how all languages came to be from thier parent language. In this example, we would have a new language that had english as a parent langauge. == See more articles on: == [[Latin]], [[Chinese]], [[Spanish]], [[Greek]], [[Albanian]] == See also == * [[Wikipedia:Language|Wikipedia's description of language]] ---- {{stub}} [[Category:Linguistics]] Growth and love 1843 6518 2006-01-27T03:17:42Z Muke 1 categ. redlands saga A way of thinking about people and their behavior in life with each other as a [[community]] of peace.

The Pomo, like other Northern Californian Native Americans lived in small groups with a decentralized political structure, and lived from hunting and gathering. There were about 8,000 Pomo in 1770. The 1910 Census reported 777 Pomo, but that is probably low. Kroeber estimated 1,200 in the same year. According to the 1930 census there were 1,143. == Location == Pomo is a word believed to be derived from Poma, the village name given by anthropologists at the beginning of the century. The Pomo originated in [[California]] and were divided into three regions, the coast, the valley, and the lake regions of northern, central and southern California. They inhabited Mendicino, Sonoma and Lake counties. They also resided in the [[Russian River Valley]] and still reside in these areas today. The northern Pomo are named the Bokeya, the central are the [[Yokiya]], and the southern Pomo are the [[Kashia]]. == Language == It is believed that there were originally seven different languages but only three are still spoken including [[Hokan]]. == History == In the early 1800's, the Pomo had become close allies with the Russian fur traders and constantly traded items between the two camps. The Russian fur traders believed having Indians on their side was to their advantage. The Pomo were forced into Spanish missionaries or onto Indian reservations. During the 1830's & 1840's, they were subjected to numerous raids by the Mexican camps who attempted to secure slaves. There was also dramatic increases in the number of people who contracted smallpox and other deadly diseases. In 1857, the U.S. government set up a reservation for the Pomo Indians at Fort Bragg, California. Ten years later it was deserted and the Pomo were sent to live on other reservations throughout [[California]]. Daily Life: The daily life of the Pomo was all based on simplicity. The men were often naked and the women wore short, thick kilts and shirts made of deerskin. One source of warmth during cold weather came from rabbit robes. Their houses were shaped like an elliptical circle and consisted of three layers held by poles. Their daily diet included acorns, berries, fish and meat. The Pomo had two ceremonial rituals including the “Ghost Dance,” during which the dead were recognized and the “Far South,” which was a rite of passage for children of the tribe. Because the Pomo Indians lived in a variety of environments, there was a large variety of food available to them. The communities living inland made journeys to the coast for sea food, and the coastal communities made journeys inland to gather foods not found in their local environment. The Pomo Indians ate nuts from acorns, chestnuts, buckeyes, pepperwood, and conifer trees. They also ate wild grapes and berries. “Almost all species of mammals, birds, fishes, etc. were utilized, chiefly as sources of food.” (Material Aspects of Pomo Culture. page. 96). Among these were land birds like quail, pigeons, doves, woodpeckers, and blue jays. The clear lake communities had access to ducks, geese, swan, cormorants, cranes, egrets, herons, bitterns, and snipe. There were also certain animals that were considered taboo to hunt or eat. Here is a small list of some of these animals and reasons not hunted.

Taalen is dependent marking, meaning that the possessor is explicitly marked as such, while the possessum is marked with the case corresponding to its grammatical role in the sentence. {| | '''mau''' || '''Saran''' || style="width:60px" | || '''mau''' || '''men''' |- | mau-0 || Sara-n || || mau-0 || me-n |- | cat-PAT || Sara-GEN || || cat-PAT || 1+2-GEN |- | colspan=2 | ''Sarah's cat'' || || colspan=2 | ''Our cat'' |} This structure is a generic situation, making no reference to the alienability of the relationship. Taalen does distinguish alienable from inalienable relationships, which can change the meaning of a word. Some words (notably relationships, parts of the body, and spiritual and magical concepts) always require overt alienability marking. Alienable relationships are those which can be broken, and alienable possessions can be lost, given away, or otherwise destroyed. They are marked with suffixes corresponding to person. In cases where the possessor is explicitly mentioned, both the possessor (in the genitive) and the person marker are required. {| | '''mava''' || '''Saran''' |- | mau-a-0 || Sara-n |- | cat-3an.AGT-PAT || Sara-GEN |} ''Sara's cat (i.e. the one she found, or just received as a gift)'' {| | '''mavamme''' || || '''mavamme''' || '''men''' |- | mau-amme-0 || style="width:60px" align="center" | VS. || mau-amme-0 || me-n |- | cat-1+2.AGT-PAT || || cat-1+2.AGT-PAT || 1+2-GEN |- | ''Our cat'' || || colspan=2 | '''OUR''' cat |} Note that the second example ('our cat') has the same implications as the first, namely that the cat is not closely or permanently assicated with us. Instead, it is the cat we saw, or found, are betting on, or are otherwise loosely and alienably connected to. Inalienable possession follows a similar structure, though with personal prefixes instead of suffixes. {| | '''mau''' || '''Saran''' || style="width:60px" | || '''samau''' || '''emethen''' || style="width:60px" | ||'''timau''' |- | 0-mau-0 || Sara-n || || sa-mau-0 || emeth-en || || ti-mau-0 |- | 3an.PAT-cat-PAT || Sara-GEN || || 3in.PAT-cat-PAT || shrine-GEN || || 2.PAT-cat-PAT |- | colspan=2 | ''Sara's cat'' || || colspan=2 | ''shrine's cat'' || || ''Your cat'' |} Note that in the 3an, this is identical to the unmarked forms above. In all of these cases, the implication is that the cat is in an inherent and inalienable relationship. Sara has had the cat for years, or raised in, or the cat is named for her, and the shrine's cat was likely born there. ===Allative=== ===Ablative=== ===Locative=== ===Perlative=== ===and something else I haven't figured out yet=== ==Pronouns== The pronominal system of Taalen distinguishes for person (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and an obviative 4th) and animacy (in the 3rd person), but not number. Number is instead handled by ''complex'' pronouns, wherein the semantics of the pronoun are concatenations of person: 1+2 : 'I and you'; inclusive 'we'<br> 1+3 : 'I and s/he or them'; exclusive 'we'<br> 2+3 : 'you and s/he or them'; you, pl. <br> :::This is not quite the same as the usual 2nd pl. pronoun, as it does not address directly more than one person. Instead it focuses on one individual as representative of a group. 1+2+3 : 'I and you and s/he or them'; people, the ubiquitous "they", a generic plural<br> 4 : the other, one, a generic singular :::Implies more time or location specific identity than 1+2+3 Each person has a characteristic consonant and epenthetic vowel, used when marking verbs and nouns. {| cellpadding=5 ! Person !! Consonant !! Vowel !! Prefixed (V-/C-) !! Suffixed (-V/-C) |- align="center" | 1 || n || e || n-/ne- || -n/-en |- align="center" | 2 || t / h || i || t-/ti- || -h/-ih |- align="center" | 3an || 0 (null) || a || 0-/a- || -0/-a |- align="center" | 3in || s || a || s-/sa- || -s/-as |- align="center" | 4 || r || o || r-/o- || -r/-o |- align="center" | 1+2 || m || e || m-/me- || -me/-amme |- align="center" | 1+3 || th || e || th-/the- || -th/-atthe |- align="center" | 2+3 || v || u || v-/u- || -v/-u |- align="center" | 1+2+3 || l || o || l-/lo- || -l/-o |} As can be seen from the verbal complex, these pronominal affixes are agentive when suffixed, and patientive when prefixed. The prefix/suffix distinction holds on nouns as well, prefixed to indicate inalienable possession and suffixed for the alienable variety. Alternation between vowel or consonant initial or final roots, for both patientive/inalienable (prefixed) and agentive/alienable (suffixed) morphemes. Agentively, note that 4<sup>th</sup> and 1+2+3 are indentical, when affixed to a consonant-final root. {| cellpadding=5 ! mode !! shouva 'picture' !! ora 'water' !! tal 'tree' |- align="center" | Pref. || ''neshouva'' 'the picture I took' || ''tora'' 'your urine' || ''adal'' 'her tree that she planted' |- align="center" | Suff. || ''shouvan'' 'the picture of me' || ''orah'' 'your water' || ''tala'' 'her tree' |} =Verbs= ==Verbal Complex== {| cellpadding=5 !

It is located on the southwestern tip of Great Britain. Cornwall has about 500,000 inhabitants; the capital is Truro. Most of the population is English-speaking, but the Cornish language, a Celtic language closely related to Breton and Cambrian (Welsh), survives in some villages in the west of Cornwall. [[Category:UKW]] Elfham 1950 47424 2009-07-21T20:32:31Z WeepingElf 43 The '''Province of Elfham''' is one of the constituent nations of the [[United Kingdom of the Westlands]]. It is located in the southwest of Britain between [[England (UKW)|England]] and [[Cornwall (UKW)|Cornwall]]. Elfham has 1.1 million inhabitants; its capital is [[Glastonbury (UKW)|Glastonbury]]. ==Languages of Elfham== [[Low Elvish]], an [[Albic]] language, is considered the national language of Elfham and has official status; it is spoken by about 60% of the population as native language and by further 15% as second language. Virtually all native speakers of Low Elvish are bilingual in English, the other official language of Elfham. Bilingual signage (in Low Elvish and English) is seen everywhere in the province. ==Flag of Elfham== The flag of Elfham (known as the [[Evenstar Flag]]) shows a white eight-pointed star in a blue field. ==Politics of Elfham== The province's parliament, the '''Theleg Dar''', is one of the world's oldest sitting parliaments; its tradition reaches back into the time of the [[Commonwealth of the Elves]]. The Theleg Dar is a unicameral legislature elected using the [[Wikipedia:Single Transferable Vote|single transferable vote]] system. ==Economics of Elfham== The Province of Elfham is the wealthiest of the constituent nations of the UKW. The province has a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship, which resulted in a well-developed industry of fine mechanics, optics, electronics and, more recently, information technology and renewable energy technology. The province's agriculture is based on dairy and arable farming. Tourism also plays an important role. [[Category:UKW]] Glastonbury (UKW) 1951 47425 2009-07-21T20:36:36Z WeepingElf 43 '''Glastonbury''' ([[Low Elvish]] '''Glathmar''') is a city in the [[United Kingdom of the Westlands]]. It is the capital of [[Elfham]] and center of [[British Elves|British Elvish]] culture. With 240,000 inhabitants, it is also the biggest city of the province. Glastonbury is seat of the Elfham provincial government and an Anglican bishop; it also has one of the oldest universities of the Westlands. In 1967, Glastonbury hosted the biannual Westlands Fair. ==Transportation== Glastonbury is located on the southern branch of the Great Western Railway and served by high-speed trains. Travel time to London is a little more than two hours. The backbone of public transit in Glastonbury is its tram system. The first horse trams commenced service in 1876; in 1893 the system was electrified. Today, it is one of the world's most modern tram systems, with state-of-the-art low floor vehicles. There is also a monorail line which was built on occasion of the 1967 Westlands Fair, and a network of bus routes supplementing the tram network. ==Economy== Glastonbury is the economic centre of Elfham. The most important industries are information technology, electronics, optics and fine mechanics. Glastonbury has one of the highest average incomes in the entire UKW. ==Culture== Glastonbury is the centre of Westlands Elvish culture and has a very vibrant art and music scene. Especially famous is the ''Glastonbury scene'' of progressive rock bands. Since 1969, Glastonbury is host of the annual ''Glastonbury Progressive Rock Festival''. Commonwealth of the Elves 1952 29390 2008-02-25T21:07:30Z WeepingElf 43 The '''Commonwealth of the Elves''' was the political body that united the [[British Elves]] prior to the [[Tartessian War]]. According to tradition, it was established in the year 671 BC. The Commonwealth consisted of twelve tribes ('''tøthi'''), each of which was subdivided into twelve 'shiphoods' ('''ciphrili'''). Each '''ciphrela''' elected a representative into the 'High Table' ('''Theleca Tara'''), the legislature of the Commonwealth, which thus consisted of 144 members.

The pronunciation of the other letters is as follows: === Vowels === In general the vowels have the same pronunciation as in Italian or Spanish. Native speakers of English should note the following: {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" |valign="top"|'''a''' |valign="top" width=50|{{IPA|[a]}} |valign="top"|as in English ''father'', but shorter. |- |valign="top"|'''e''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ɛ]}} |valign="top"|as in English ''dress''. |- |valign="top"|'''i''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[i]}} |valign="top"|as in English ''machine'', but shorter. |- |valign="top"|'''o''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[o]}} |valign="top"|as in English ''north'', but shorter. |- |valign="top"|'''u''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[u]}} |valign="top"|as in English ''brute'', but shorter. |- |valign="top"|'''y''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ɨ]}} |valign="top"|is usually pronounced the same as '''i''', but in some dialects '''y''' is pronounced similarly to English ''i'' in ''kit'', though darker. Polish ''ryba'' or Russian ''рыба'' has the exact sound. |} === Vowel length === Vowels with an acute accent above ('''á é í ó ú ý''') are in general pronounced the same as the vowels without such a mark, but longer. The exceptions are '''é''' and '''ó''', which for many speakers -- perhaps a majority, although this pronunciation is not considered part of the standard language -- are pronounced as rising diphthongs {{IPA|[iɛ]}} and {{IPA|[uo]}}, similar to ''ye'' in English ''yes'' and ''wa'' in English ''want'' respectively. In the pronunciation of these speakers the spellings '''é''' and '''je''' are pronounced the same. Slvanjec vowel length does usually ''not'' reflect Latin vowel length, which was lost in [[Wikipedia:Vulgar Latin|Vulgar Latin]], but was caused by the loss of a short ''ĭ'' or ''ŭ'' in the following syllable, hence the long vowels in the final syllable of the nominative/accusative of most second declension nouns. There is a number of loanwords that have long vowels adopted from the pronunciation of other languages, e.g. '''táler''' 'dollar' from German ''Taler'', or '''skóla''' from the Renaissance pronunciation of Latin. == Stress == The word stress in Slevan always falls on the first syllable of the word. It should be carefully noted that the acute accent mark does ''not'' indicate stress, but vowel length. == Consonants == The consonant letters and digraphs that differ from English are as follows: {| cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px #aaa solid; background: #cfc" |valign="top"|'''c''' |valign="top" width=60|{{IPA|[ts]}} |valign="top"|is in all positions pronounced like the ''tz'' in English ''waltz''. English speakers should take special care to preserve this pronunciation also at the beginning of words, e.g. in '''cék''' 'blind'. |- |valign="top"|'''ch''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[χ] or [x]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced as in Scots ''loch'' or in German ''Bach'', or in the English interjection ''yech''. It is not a very frequent sound in Slevan. |- |valign="top"|'''cz''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[tʃ]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced like the English ''ch'' in ''church''. |- |valign="top"|'''dj''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ɟ]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced approximately like the ''di'' in English ''medium''. |- |valign="top"|'''dz''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[dz]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced like the ''ds'' in English ''beds''. It is an infrequent sound in Slevan, having mostly been replaced by simple '''z'''. As with '''c''' English speakers should take care to preserve the correct pronunciation at the beginning of words. |- |valign="top"|'''dzs''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[dʒ]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced like ''j'' or ''dg'' in English ''judge''. It is an infrequent sound in Slevan, having mostly been replaced by simple '''zs'''. |- |valign="top"|'''g''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ɡ]}} |valign="top"|is always hard, like in English ''go'' or ''get'', never soft like in English ''gem'', e.g. '''gezél''' 'yourneyman'. The '''g''' sound isn't very frequent in Slevan, since it is found only in loan words. |- |valign="top"|'''j''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[j]}} |valign="top"|has the sound of the English consonantal ''y'' in ''you, yet, yard''. The English sound of ''j'' in ''judge'' is written '''dzs''' in Slevan, but this combination has in most cases been replaced by the simple '''zs'''. |- |valign="top"|'''l''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ɫ]}} |valign="top"|at the beginning of a word before the vowels '''a á o ó u ú y ý''' has the dark sound of ''l'' in English ''loll''. Before the vowels '''e é i í''' or before '''dj nj tj''' the letter '''l''' is pronounced like the ''li'' in English ''million'', i.e. the same as Slevan '''lj'''. Before other consonants or at the end of a word many speakers pronounce '''l''' like an English ''w'', but this pronunciation is not considered part of the standard language. |- |valign="top"|'''lj''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ʎ]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced like the ''li'' in English ''million''. Some speakers tend to pronounce '''lj''' as a simple (Slevan) '''j''' in some positions, but this is not considered part of the standard language. |- |valign="top"|'''nj''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ɲ]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced like the ''ny'' in English ''canyon'', or more exactly like the ''ñ'' in Spanish ''cañón'' ! |- |valign="top"|'''r''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[r]}} |valign="top"|is a rolled sound like in Italian or Spanish ''carro''. Note that Slevan '''r''' is never silent as in British English. |- |valign="top"|'''s''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[s]}} |valign="top"|is always pronounced voiceless like in English '''sit, miss''', never voiced, like ''z''. When a voiced ''s'' occurs in loanwords it is replaced by '''z''', e.g. in '''prezident'''. |- |valign="top"|'''sz''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ʃ]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced like the English ''sh'' in '''ship'''. |- |valign="top"|'''tj''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[c]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced approximately like the ''te'' in the English word ''meteor''. |- |valign="top"|'''v''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[v] and [w]}} |valign="top"|is pronounced like in English, but before another consonant or at the end of a word many speakers pronounce '''v''' like an English ''w''. Unlike the similar pronunciation of '''l''' this is accepted as part of the standard language. |- |valign="top"|'''zs''' |valign="top"|{{IPA|[ʒ]}} |valign="top"|has the sound of ''z'' in English ''azure'' or of ''j'' in French ''jour''. Cf. '''j'''. |} The letters ''q'' and ''x'' are never used in Slevan. They are always replaced by '''k''' and '''ks''' respectively, e.g. '''kvarc''' 'quartz' and '''tekst'''. == Syllabic liquids == The letters '''l''' and '''r''' can in Slevan form a syllable of their own without a supporting vowel, e.g. '''slván''' 'Slevan man', '''blb''' 'onion', '''dzrn''' 'diurnal span, date', '''krce''' 'cross'. A native Slevan speaker would never confuse '''tj''' with '''cz''' or '''dj''' with '''dzs''', but Slevans are rather used to speakers of German or Romany confusing these pairs of sounds. [[Category:Slevan]] Taaluketti 1956 56653 2010-10-09T13:14:44Z Fofofo5 1324 /* Pronunciation and orthography */ simplify pronunciation of ''n" See also [[Taaluketti:Lexicon]] = Background = '''Taaluketti''' developed from [[Gaaziketti]]. It is considered by its creator to be better than Gaaziketti at fulfilling the goals of grammatical generality and flexibility. The below is an outline of the structure of this language at its most general level. It remains to generate a lexicon of morphemes that would enable this structure to be applied to achieving the expressive capabilities of natural language. Taaluketti may be broadly categorised as a highly regular SOV type language which makes use of particles rather than inflexions to indicate such things as case and tense. Like Gaaziketti, it uses parsing markers to enable any sentence to be unambiguously parsed. However, while Gaaziketti took the ''noun'' to be basic, in Taaluketti the basic part of speech is the ''verb''. In some ways Taaluketti is similar to Loglan. However, Taaluketti aims to be more flexible and intuitive than Loglan. Each "verb" (or rather, predicate) in Loglan has associated with it a certain place structure, and it is this place structure, rather than the use of adpositions or case endings, that enables one to know where each noun phrase stands in relation to the verb/predicate. In Taaluketti, however, a verb will come with no fixed place structure. Rather, any number of noun phrases may be coupled with a given verb, and their relation to the verb is indicated by the use of postpositions (such as '''ko''' to indicate the accusative case). = Pronunciation and orthography = The following 21 Roman letters are used. '''a b c d e g h i k l m n o p q r s t u v z''' The vowels are read approximately as in Spanish. But double vowels are pronounced long. '''ai''' is pronounced like 'eye' in 'eye'. '''au''' is pronounced like the 'ow' in 'cow'. '''q''' is pronounced like the 'ni' in 'onion'. '''c''' is pronounced like the 'ch' is 'chair'. '''s''' is always unvoiced. '''r''' is rolled. The other consonants are pronounced as in English. But unvoiced stops are not aspirated. E.g. '''p''' is pronounced always as in 'spot', never as in 'pack'. Double consonants are pronounced double, as in Italian, Finnish, etc.. '''ng''' is pronounced as in 'finger', not as in 'singer'. In a word with more than one syllable, the first syllable takes the stress. = Syntax = == Parsing markers, modification, functors and phrases == Every word-token (i.e. individual occurrence of a word in a sentence) will take one of four ''parsing markers'': (null) "leftmost and only argument of its phrase" '''-s''' "leftmost argument, but not only argument, of its phrase" '''-n''' "final argument, but not only argument, of its phrase" '''-k''' "neither the first argument, not the last argument, of its phrase" Parsing markers are not treated as words – they are “spoken punctuation”. All other morphemes are treated as words except those which are sub-elements of a compound-word. (Compound words are treated as words. Compounds words are strings of morphemes which morphemes, if they were words, would be verbs – see below.) Parsing markers clarify the structure of ''modification'' relations within a sentence. ''Modification'' is a relationship between one individual word-token, and another. Each word-token is modified by some number (possibly zero) of other word-tokens. No word-token modifies more than one word-token. No word-token modifies a word-token in another sentence. No word-token modifies itself. No word-token modifies a word-token to its left. Each word-token is in fact a ''functor'', and the words that modify it are the heads of the phrases which are its ''arguments''. As functors, word-token always pick up their arguments from their left (the opposite of standard mathematical notation). So suppose you’ve got a chain of word-tokens each (except the first) being modified just by its predecessor. (The only parsing marker punctuating such a chain would be the ''null'' marker.) Then you would assume a “((wx)y)z” type of phrasal pattern - ''i.e.'' the default is that brackets cluster to the left. A functor ''f'' together with its arguments forms a phrase, and ''f'' is said to be the ''head'' of that phrase. When a functor modifies some other functor, this means that the phrase of which the modifying functor is the head is an argument of that other functor. The use of parsing markers to show what modifies what is perhaps best explained as follows. Parsing markers are shown in bold. The structure of a phrase is like this: (x1, x2, ... xn)y. Here y is the head of the phrase, and x1, x2, ..., xn are the n different arguments of y. Suppose n=0. Then we have a phrase of this form: "y". Suppose n=1. Then we have a phrase of this form: "x1 y". Suppose n=2. Then we have a phrase of this form: "x1'''s''' x2'''n''' y". Suppose n=3. Then we have a phrase of this form: "x1'''s''' x2'''k''' x3'''n''' y". Suppose n=4. Then we have a phrase of this form: "x1'''s''' x2'''k''' x3'''k''' x4'''n''' y". Suppose n=5. Then we have a phrase of this form: "x1'''s''' x2'''k''' x3'''k''' x4'''k''' x5'''n''' y". == Phrase types == Phrases (including word-tokens, which are themselves phrases) may be classified into ''types'' (also called ''classes''). The notation “[x…x>y]” means that an item of the type [x...x>y] is a functor which takes any number of arguments of class x and, together with these arguments, forms a phrase of class y. So the class of the functor itself is [x…x>y]. In other words, if a functor ''f'' belongs to the class [x...x>y], any phrase of which it is the head is of the class [y]; and each of its arguments is of the class [x]. The most general class is simply the ''phrase'' [F]. All phrases belong to type [F]. == Statements [S] == A very basic type is the ''statement'' [S]. Semantically, a statement may be thought of as a phrase which ''says of something that it is the case''. == Adverbial phrases [A], noun phrases [N] and postpositions [N>A] == Another basic type is the adverbial phrase [A]. There are two kinds of adverbial phrase. There are nominative adverbial phrases, which are just noun-phrases [N]. And there are complex adverbial phrases, which consist of a noun-phrase followed by a postposition. Postpositions are functors which take a single argument of class [N] and form a phrase of class [A], i.e. postpositions are of class [N>A]. A common postposition is '''ko''', which essentially serves to mark the accusative case. In summary: any noun-phrase is an adverbial phrase. And any phrase consisting of a single noun-phrase modifying a postposition is an adverbial phrase. === Pronouns === A basic kind of noun phrase is the pronoun. Some common pronouns are as follows. 1st person singular '''qe''' 1st person plural '''quu''' 2nd person singular '''ve''' 2nd person plural '''vuu''' 3rd person animate singular '''taa''' 3rd person inanim. singular '''zo''' 3rd person plural (animate or inanimate) '''dau''' Like other noun phrases, pronouns take postpositions, such as '''ko'''. == Verbs [A…A>S] == Words of the class [A…A>S] are called ''verbs''. A verb in Taaluketti is a bit like a predicate in Loglan; ''however'', it doesn’t have an order-based place-structure; and it doesn't have a fixed number of arguments. Syntactically speaking, a verb can take any number of arguments (including 0) (even though some combinations of arguments might not make sense ''semantically'' speaking). Each of the arguments of a verb will be an adverbial phrase [A]. The phrase thus formed will be a statement [S]. == Articles [S>N] == To make a noun-phrase [N], you need an ''article'' [S>N]. A common article is '''de''', which, roughly speaking, corresponds to the definite singular article. A phrase of the form "Y '''de'''" ("Y" being some phrase that is an argument of '''de''') is a noun-phrase [N], meaning "the (single) person/object x (in a given context) such that "x Y" would be a true sentence", i.e. "the x which satisfies "Y" ". If many Ys each modify '''de''', then '''de''' picks out the single x that satisfies ''all'' of those Ys. The four most common articles are the following. '''de''' ''definite singular article'' '''go''' ''definite plural article'' '''so''' ''indefinite singular article'' '''ve''' ''indefinite plural article'' == Verbal particles [V>V] == Verbal particles are added after a verb, and form an extension of the verb. These are generally used to indicate verbal aspect, tense and mood. === Aspect === The following verbal particles come immediately after a verb and are used to indicate aspect. Simple ''(nil)'' Habitual '''baa''' Continuous '''nii''' Perfect '''haa''' Future '''tau''' === Tense === The following verbal particles come immediately after the aspect particle (if there is one), and are used to indicate tense. Present (usually omitted) '''nee''' Past (sometimes omitted if context allows) '''co''' Future (same as aspect marker for future) '''tau''' === Mood === The following verbal particles come immediately after the aspect and tense particles (if there are any), and are used to indicate mood. Indicative ''(nil)'' Imperative '''vaa''' Infinitive ''(nil)'' = Example phrases = Here are some example phrases (some of which are complete sentences), written first with the parsing markers, and then with brackets ''instead'' of parsing markers, in order to show the grammatical structure – the brackets surround a bunch of phrases each of which is an argument of the functor just after the brackets. '''haara de''' <> the (one that is a) woman (haara)de '''hecci de''' <> the one that climbs (hecci)de '''heccis haaran de''' <> the one that both climbs and is a woman; the woman that climbs (hecci.haara)de '''ko hecci de''' <> the one that is climbed ((ko)hecci)de '''Gaazi de ko hecci.''' <> The hill is climbed.

Don't be afraid." "Your try is good. Keep trying!" said the birth helper. The mother said thoughtfully: "I have hope." The child said: "You keep me warm. You warm me much." The mother answered: "The child talks!" The child said: "You two are many. A good name for you is Kunukul." The mother said: "Pardon? You have drunken whiskey!"

A gift of God indeed! ==Grammar== - Da Mätz se Basa is an a posteriori language derived from Modern High German. Some influence from Dutch, Afrikaans, Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia and several other languages can be found, mainly in the lexicon, but sometimes also in the grammar. - The language is mostly isolating, with a few frequent words being fosilised fused forms, and with a few bound morphemes. Further, compound nouns and verbs exist. They are listen in the lexicon. - Case: nominative, dative. - Number: singular, plural. - Definiteness: definite, indefinite - Case, number and definiteness are all marked on the article. - Adjectives, relative clauses and possessives precede the phrase they modify. - Articles precede nouns (and their modifiers) and are optional in front of relative clauses, and possessive pronouns, and is forbidden before determiners ("some", "no", etc.). If left out in front of relative clauses, definiteness, case and number information is lost for that phrase, and must be inferred. (In ancient times, the relative particle would then be inflected, but this feature was lost is earlier times.) - For prepositions that can be followed by both nominative and dative case, nom. denotes a direction, dat. a location. - Articles and 3rd person pronouns are indistinguishable. These word is glossed with DEF or INDEF. - Preposition + 3rd person pronoun/article fused into one word if adjacent, even if they belong to different phrases. This is a phonological fusion. - In a verb phrase, auxiliaries precede the main verb. The first verb in such a phrase, the head verb, is shifted to first or second position when the word order changes. - There are three word orders: V-Last Order (this is the basic order): SOV: in certain subordinate clauses V1-Order: The first verb of the verb phrase is shifted to the front: In questions, suggestives, and in certain subordinate clauses triggered by some conjunctions. V2-Order: Starting from V1-order, the subject or an adverb is shifted to the front: Normal propositional order: the fronted constituent is the topic. By default, this is the subject, so you get SVO order here. In the lexicon, conjunctions will show which order is selected. - The very end of a clause is often marked with a complement for truth value ("ja", "nä", "ima") and/or for speech act ("höma", "to", "he"). "ja" (positive truth value) and "höma" (propositional speech act) are optional -- if they are present, they are emphatic. - 'se': modification. In the construction: A 'se' B Here, A is a general modification of B. This is used for relative clauses, possessives, and composition. A bit like Chinese 'de' or Japanese 'no'. In the neighbourhood of vowels, the word reduces to s' . In possessives formed with 'se', the first part (A), a noun phrase, will be in dative case. An optional determiner may precede the whole construction. - 'fan': apposition. In the construction: A 'fan' B A is the same as B. In English, the translation could be simply "A B" (e.g. "Doctor Smith") or "A of B" (e.g. "city of New York"). Both A and B are in the the same case. - All nouns are capitalised. - Note that due to the speech act and truth value complements, the use of exclamation and question marks is very much reduced in this language. ==Vocab== Ä - n. - marriage ä - adj. - matrimonial ach - num. - eight an - prep.+dat. - on, at (place); on, at (time) - prep.+nom. - to, onto (place) - aux. - see "dräk an" ana - fus. - "an" + "da"; "an" + "na" Anak - n. - child: son; daughter Bäbi - n. - baby bäna - adv. - almost bang - adj. - anxious, fearful Chofadem - interj. - Damnit! da - det. - def.dat.sg.

Much of the Minza vocabulary is borrowed from other languages: Lindiga, Tirelat, Jarda, Kisuna, Zharranh, Kirezagi, and so on. The grammar is mainly based on Lindiga, although other recent languages such as Yasaro have contributed. Basic word order is VOS, with the subject at the end of the sentence. Minza is an ergative language; the subject of a transitive clause is expressed with the ergative suffix -(l)e, while the object of a transitive clause is like the subject of an intransitive clause, in the absolutive case, without a case suffix added. In general, modifying words or phrases in Minza follow the words they modify: adverbs follow verbs, adjectives follow nouns, and so on. Minza is an agglutinative language, without any major alteration of roots or affixes when combined, although many suffixes have alternative forms depending on whether they are appended to a vowel or a consonant. It shouldn't be too hard to separate the roots from the affixes, but in case you get stuck or want to skip this step, I've included a morpheme breakdown at the end of the message. ===Nouns=== Minza has six cases for nouns: absolutive, genitive, ergative, dative, locative, and instrumental. These cases are formed by adding a suffix to the noun root. This suffix can take one of two forms depending on whether the root ends in a consonant or a vowel. Consonant-ending roots take suffixes beginning with a vowel, and vice versa. This is a general characteristic of suffixes in Minza; suffixes in the vocabulary are notated with an optional letter in parentheses: -(l)e for the ergative suffix, or -(r)i for the plural suffix. There is also a vocative form, which is marked with the particle "i", although this is considered to be a preposition that governs the absolutive case. The vocative particle marks the person the speaker is talking to. The locative case can represent possession as well as location: the example from the Minza web page is "kyrlu miezu" ("the mouse's tail"), which literally means "(the) tail at (the) mouse". If the locative noun comes first, the resulting verbless sentence can be translated with "have" in English ("miezu kyrlu" = "the mouse has a tail", literally "at the mouse (is) a tail"). Minza has "transitive nouns", which are nouns that take an optional "argument" (in the genitive case). Inherently possessed nouns, such as family relations and body parts, belong to this category. Another use of the genitive case which occurs in this text is the partitive usage, which refers to a quantity out of the total; this is found after verbs. Nouns can also have possessive suffixes added to them; "my mother" for instance would be "viraka", with the suffix -(a)ka (my) added after the root for "mother" (vira). Another use for possessive suffixes is to specify the subject of a verbal noun (a noun derived from a verb root). The case suffix (if any) comes after other suffixes. The suffix -(a)ni, which converts a noun into a verb, is one way of expressing the verb "to be". The difference between -(a)ni and the copula (ri) is similar to the difference between the definite and indefinite articles in English: "I am *the* walrus" uses the copula, while "I am *a* jelly doughnut" uses the suffix -(a)ni. The copula equates two things, while the noun-to-verb suffix defines one thing as belonging to a class. Noun suffixes -(a)ka my -(a)ni to be. -(a)t of (genitive case). -(a)va his, her, its -(e)te your (s.) -(l)e (ergative). -(m)u in, at (locative). -(r)i (plural) ===Adjectives=== Adjectives only have four case suffixes: absolutive, genitive, and ergative cases all take the ending -i. The only other adjective case suffix in this text is -e, which marks the locative case. Adjectives typically follow nouns or other adjectives. Additionally, any adjective root can be used as a main verb. Note that numbers are regular adjectives in Minza, and follow the noun like other adjectives! Adjective suffixes -e in, at (locative). -i (absolutive, genitive, or ergative). ===Verbs=== The dictionary form of a verb ends in -i; verbs are inflected for person and number of both the subject and the object by adding prefixes, and for aspect by adding suffixes. The third person singular absolutive lacks a prefix. When the subject and object refer to the same thing, a reflexive prefix -n- is added after the subject prefix. There are also numerous derivational suffixes for converting verbs to nouns and adjectives, but the only ones necessary for this text are -as (which forms a noun describing the activity of doing something), -yl (the ergative verbal noun, like English -er), and -yli (the ergative participle, like English -ing). There are two main aspects in Minza: perfective (-u) and imperfective (-a). The difference is that perfective generally refers to activities in the past or future, seen from outside, or events not specific to time; imperfective refers to ongoing, repeated, or habitual activities at any time. The subjunctive form is used in conjunction with auxiliary verbs, or as a more generic form to soften the effect of words like "maghi" ("ymaghi" could be translated "I would like", as opposed to "ymagha" which is "I want" or "I am hoping for"). In many cases the subjunctive form is used in situations where other languages would use an infinitive. Certain auxiliary verbs (smi, "can / is able", for instance), as well as the copula (ri), are not inflected for aspect, although they do take personal prefixes. In these cases, the -i is not a marker of the subjunctive form, but simply a part of the verb root. The copula is unlike most Minza verbs in that it takes two absolutive arguments. The auxiliary + main verb construction is frequent in Minza: in many cases, the subject of the auxiliary is shared with the main verb, although the two subjects might not be in the same case. "I want to go" would be translated "I want (imperfective) I go (subjunctive)", for instance. Some auxiliaries, on the other hand (such as "seiri") are used without a subject prefix; "seira" might be translated "it is necessary". Adverbs and other phrases can come between the auxiliary and the main verb, but the subject and other noun phrases go after the main verb. Although the verb is usually the first element of a sentence, any single phrase can be moved before the verb for variety or emphasis. Generally, though, the noun phrases are left after the verb. Verb prefixes ka- I/me (1s abs.) i- he, she, it (3s erg.) n- (reflexive) na- you (2s erg.) ri- we/us (1p abs.) y- I (1s erg.) Verb suffixes -a (imperfective) -as (activity of doing). -i (subjunctive) -o (imperative) -u (perfective) -yl (ergative verbal noun; one who does). -yli (ergative participle). ===Adverbs=== Usually an adverb will come directly after a verb, either a main verb or an auxiliary verb. Many adverbs can also follow adjectives (which in many respects are similar to verbs). Adverbs may be placed before the verb for emphasis or stylistic variation. ===Prepositions=== Prepositions precede nouns, and govern a particular case of the noun. For example, nouns used with the preposition "vyö" (before) are always marked with the locative case suffix. Certain verbs take arguments that require a particular preposition. ===Enclitics and other particles=== Minza has a number of "little words" that pop up in various places. Some of them (such as "łe", which adds politeness, or "tö" which emphasizes a phrase) are enclitics, which are always placed after the first word in a phrase. There are also clause-initial and clause-final particles; the final particle "ža" acts rather like the French expression "n'est-ce pas?" except that it is pronounced with the inflection of a statement rather than a question. Interjections can be used by themselves. ==Vocabulary== adv adverb (follows verb or auxiliary verb) aux auxiliary verb conj conjunction enc enclitic particle (attached after the first word of a phrase) int interjection n0 intransitive noun n1 transitive noun (inherently possessed, with its object following in the genitive case) p.n. proper name pron pronoun v1 intransitive verb v2 transitive verb ai conj and. aka n1 whole, entirety. beži a0 expensive, costly. čaghyl n0 doctor, healer. čili v2 to wear (clothing). čui pron who, what, which? de adv not. duri v2 to listen to. đa conj that, which. đevi v2 to be familiar with, accustomed to. đo prep +LOC during, over (time). epi adv also, too. fie conj namely (used more frequently in Minza than in English). fyna n0 cloth, garment. glibi vt to drink. ghovi adj excessive, too (much). i prep +ABS (vocative) igá int what the ... ?!; what in the world is that? jag n0 date, day, period of planetary rotation jex pron this (the one over here). kaini adv already, yet. kali vi to occur, happen, come to pass. kam pron I, me.

"teki" has a number of idiomatic uses; in this text, "teki" along with a pronoun in the locative case might best be translated as "have". The derivation of "tuonžan" is tuon "overall, general" + žan "military officer". [[Category:Conlang Relay 12|Minza]] Taalen Phonology 1968 40513 2008-12-05T03:24:49Z Dauyn 80 /* Mutations */ =Phonology= ==Phonemic Inventory== ===Consonants=== The Taalen phonemic inventory contains 21 consonants. There are bilabial, alveolar, and velar stops, occurring in aspirated and non-aspirated pairs, as well as the single glottal stop. Of these six, the three non-aspirated stops, '''p t k''', are realized as voiced stops in free variation. The language contains the voiced, and unvoiced, bilabial, alveolar, and velar nasal sonorants as well, '''m n ŋ m̥ n̥ ŋ̥'''. Of these, '''n''' may appear as a syllabic resonant, '''n̩'''. When subject to the Aspirate mutation, the nasals usually realize as their voiceless counterparts. The single alveolar tap '''ɾ''' may also be realized as the alveolar approximant '''ɹ''' in some dialects. There are four unvoiced fricatives: the alveolar '''s''', the post-alveolar '''ʃ''', the glottal '''h''', and the lateral '''ɬ'''. Of these, the glottal fricative '''h''' appears as '''ç''' near the front vowels '''i''' and '''e''' (or their lax counterparts), and often as '''x''' when final. The occasionally occurring palatized alveolar fricative '''sʲ''' is usually realized as the post-alveolar fricative '''ʃ'''. The approximant inventory consists of a voiced bilabial or labio-velar '''w''', a voiced palatal '''j''', and the alveolar lateral approximant '''l'''. The lateral approximant may also appear as a syllabic resonant '''l̩''', and when pre-aspirated, becomes the voiceless lateral fricative. Finally, Taalen contains 3 unvoiced affricates, the laminodental '''tθ''', the alveolar '''ts''', and the lateral '''tɬ'''. The full phonemic consonant inventory can be summarized in the table below: {| cellpadding="5" border=1 ! || Bilabial || Dental || Alveolar || Postalveolar || Palatal || Velar || Glottal |- align="center" | '''Stop''' || '''pʰ p''' || || || '''tʰ t''' || || '''kʰ k''' || '''ʔ''' |- align="center" | '''Nasal''' || '''m m̥''' || || || '''n n̥''' || || || '''ŋ ŋ̥''' || |- align="center" | '''Tap''' || || || || '''ɾ''' || || || || |- align="center" | '''Fricative''' || || || || '''s''' || '''ʃ''' || || '''h''' |- align="center" | '''Lat.

Aff.''' || || || || '''tɬ''' || || || || |} There are morphological and composition process that can change the phonetic realization of the consonantal phonemes; these are discussed in the Transformations section. ===Vowels=== Taalen makes use of a simple 6-vowel system: {| cellpadding="5" border=1 ! || '''Front''' || || '''Central''' || || '''Back''' |- align="center" | '''High''' || '''i''' || || || || '''u''' |- align="center" | '''Mid''' || || '''e''' || || '''o''' || |- align="center" | '''Low-mid''' || || || '''ʌ''' |- align="center" | '''Low''' || || || '''a''' || || |} The Low-mid unrounded vowel '''ʌ''' is usually nasalized, as in Cherokee. A single resonant may also be syllabic: '''n̩''' as in English ''button''. Vowel length is not phonemic, though stressed vowels tend to be held longer, and unstressed vowels tend to be weakened. Before clusters (i.e. pre-aspirated or pre-nasalized consonants, consonants followed by a glide + vowel, glottal stop + consonant), high and mid vowels tend to realize as their lax counterparts: '''i''' > '''ɪ''', '''e''' > '''ɛ''', '''u''' > '''ʊ''', '''o''' > '''ɔ''' ===Diphthongs=== There are eight diphthongs, all falling: '''aj''', '''ej''', '''oj''', '''ʌj''', '''aw''', '''ew''', '''ow''', and '''ʌw'''. The diphthongs in '''ʌ''' maintain the phoneme's nasalization throughout. ==Phonotactics== Syllables generally begin with any single consonant or any consonant followed by a glide. The latter are uncommon, and subject to the following rules: • a glide cannot follow another glide or a glottal stop in the same syllable: *'''jwa''' and *'''ʔja''' are both impossible. • '''s''' and '''ʃ''' cannot be followed by '''j'''. In composition, they both become '''ʃ'''. Only initial syllables can have null onsets, i.e. begin with a vowel. Vowels may not remain in hiatus; they will become a diphthong, the initial high vowel will be fortified to a glide, or a glottal stop will be inserted. Syllabic nuclei consist of a single vowel, a diphthong, or the rare syllabic resonant '''n̩''' (which is always preceded by '''ʔ'''). In the coda of initial or internal syllables, only a nasal, '''h''', '''l''', '''s''', or '''ʔ''' may appear. These phonemes interact with the consonants of following syllables in complex ways, in effect limiting medial clusters; these phonological changes are discussed below. In word final syllables, the consonants '''ʃ''' and '''ɬ''' may also appear. The syllable of Taalen may thus appear as CV, CVC, VC, or V, where V is any possible nucleus. ==Prosody== ===Stress=== Taalen words are regularly stressed on the penultimate syllable. Suffixes may cause the stress to shift. ===Weight=== Taalen prosodics divide syllables into rising, falling, and balanced. Rising syllables are open and do not contain a diphthong, while balanced syllables are open and do contain a diphthong. Falling syllables are closed syllables. A syllable is considered light if it is open and does not contain a diphthong. All other syllables are considered heavy. • '''pʰi''' is rising <br> • '''tew''' is balanced <br> • '''kel''' is falling <br> The the syllables of the name '''so.wʌ.ɾan.das''' are rising, rising, falling, and falling respectively, for example. ==Mutations== Taalen is rich in transformation, a common result of any polysynthetic typology. There are five primary types of mutation that affect consonants: aspirate, nasal, lateral, sibilant, and glottal. Two other common mutations affect vowels and diphthongs: diphthongization, which includes the change of consonants into vowels, and simplification, which concerns diphthongs becoming simple vowels in specific environments. The first five transformations are named according to the class of phoneme which trigger them, and are distinct from the usual terms. That is, the aspirate transformation is not similar or related to aspiration. Where there is another term widely used in linguistic works, it will be noted, but even these other terms are rarely precise descriptions. It is for this reason that the native Taalen terms are used instead. These processes are phonological in nature, though there are morphemes that exist only as manifestations of these mutations. Because of the nature of some morphemes, it can be difficult to see this, as the surface realization of a particular marker might only be a subtle transformation. These mutations, unlike the Celtic types or Sanskrit's sandhi, apply only within a single word. A word ending in '''s''' preceding a word starting with another consonant will not cause the Sibilant mutation to apply. The mutations are discussed using standard Taalen [[Taalen_Writing#Romanization|romanization]]. If the triggering phoneme does not appear in the result (i.e. after the ">"), it disappears after causing its changes. Compensatory lengthening is often a by-product of the mutations; these are marked with '''+''', and the process itself is discussed under Diphthongization. ===Aspirate=== Also called pre-aspiration, the Aspirate mutation is generally the result of contact with a syllable final '''h'''. It causes the following changes: - Aspirated stops, glides, the glottal fricative, and the alveolar and lateral affricates show no change: '''p t k w y h ts tl''' > '''hp ht hk hw hy h hts htl'''<br> - Non-aspirated stops become aspirated: '''b d g''' > '''hp ht hk'''<br> - Nasals become pre-aspirated or voiceless, depending on dialect: '''m n ñ''' > '''hm hn hñ'''<br> - The glottal stop is lost: ''' ' ''' > '''h'''<br> - Laterals become the lateral fricative: '''l lh''' > '''lh'''<br> - The tap become an aspirated alveolar stop: '''r''' > '''ht'''<br> - Sibilants become an alveolar affricate: '''s sh''' > '''hts'''<br> - The laminodental affricate becomes the aspirated alveolar stop: '''th''' > '''ht'''<br> When a morpheme ends in one consonant, and is followed by '''h''' in a subsequent morpheme, the Aspirate mutation applies, in a way somewhat similar to '''h'''-metathesis. Certain word initial morphemes also cause this mutation, though the '''h''' that triggers the mutation never appears with occlusives (i.e. '''b th''' > '''p t''', not '''hp ht'''), only with resonants ('''hm hn hñ hw hy'''). ===Nasal=== The Nasal mutation, sometimes called pre-nasalization, is the result of consonant contact with a nasal. The nasal generally assimilates homorganically. - Aspirated stop are deaspirated (and/or voiced): '''p t k''' > '''mb nd ñg'''<br> - Unaspirated stops become nasals: '''b d g''' > '''m n ñ'''<br> - Glides are unaffected: '''w y''' > '''ñw ny'''<br> - The glottal stop is lost: ''' ' ''' > '''n''' <br> - Liquids and the alveolar tap become the lateral affricate: '''l lh r''' > '''+tl''' <br> - Sibilants become the alveolar affricate: '''s sh''' > '''+ts''' <br> - The glottal fricative becomes a voiceless nasal: '''h''' > '''hn''' <br> - Nasals and affricates result in compensatory lengthening alone: see Diphthongization<br> Certain morphemes cause this mutation initially and disappear. As with the Aspirate mutation, the nasal itself only appears initially with resonants. ===Lateral=== The Lateral mutation occurs with contact with the laterals '''l lh''' and the alveolar tap '''r'''. It is the most likely mutation to cause no effect other than compensatory lengthening of vowels preceding the sonorant. - Aspirated stops are deaspirated: '''p t k''' > '''+b +d+ +g'''<br> - Unaspirated stops , nasals, and affricates show no affect: '''b d g m n ñ ts tl th''' > '''+b +d +g +m +n +ñ +ts +tl +th'''<br> - Glides create clusters with the lateral approximant: '''w y''' > '''lw ly'''<br> - The glottal stop, the tap, and the glottal fricative become the lateral affricate: ''' ' r h''' > '''tl'''<br> - Liquids become the lateral approximant: '''l lh''' > '''+l'''<br> - Sibilants become the alveolar affricate: '''s sh''' > '''ts'''<br> ===Sibilant=== Contact with the sibilants '''s''' and '''sh''' causes the Sibilant mutation, as one might expect. It is very similar to the Aspirate mutation, and in some dialects, has disaapeared entirely in favor of the Aspirate. - All non-glottal stops become pre-aspirated aspirates: '''p t k b d g''' > '''hp ht hk hp ht hk'''<br> - Nasals are pre-aspirated or devoiced: '''m n ñ''' > '''hm hn hñ'''<br> - The labiovelar glide is pre-aspirated, while the palatal becomes the postalveolar fricative: '''w y''' > '''hw sh'''<br> - The glottal stop becomes the alveolar affricate: ''' ' ''' > '''ts'''<br> - Liquids become the lateral fricative: '''l lh''' > '''lh'''<br> - The tap becomes a pre-aspirated aspirated alveolar stop : '''r''' > '''ht'''<br> - Sibilants and the glottal fricative all become the postalveolar fricative: '''s sh h''' > '''sh'''<br> - Alveolar and lateral affricates are pre-aspirated: '''ts tl''' > '''hts htl'''<br> - The laminodental affricate becomes the aspirated alveolar stop: '''th''' > '''ht'''<br> Affricates and stops lose the '''h''' when occurring initially as the result of a sibilant morpheme. ===Glottal=== ===Lengthening & Diphthongization=== The most common and complex mutation, vocalization is the primary means by which medial clusters are simplified in Taalen. In addition to voiced consonants becoming vowels, unvoiced consonants usually cause other changes. Some vowels arise simply as a result of compensatory lengthening, which is not technically vocalization, but has been classed as such by the Elder grammarians. In a similar vein, some consonants do not vocalize, but aspirate or otherwise mutate eiether themselves of consecutive consonants or vowels, and these are classed as vocalization mutations as well. The diphthong-rich vocabulary of Taalen owes much of it's existence to this mutation historically. Many of the non-voiced phonemes caused compensatory lengthening (noted as ''Long'' in the summary below), prior to the breaking of long vowels into diphthongs. Here is a characteristic example: ''rag-'' 'to carry' with ''-de'' a resultative suffix becomes ''raede'' /ɾəɪ.dɛ/ : stative verb 'to be borne, carried' ===Simplification=== ===Summary of Consonant Mutations=== {| cellpadding="5" border=1 !| '''Phoneme''' || '''Aspirate''' || '''Nasal''' || '''Lateral''' || '''Sibilant''' || '''Glottal''' |- align="center" | p t k || hp ht hk || mb nd ñg || +b +d+ +g || hp ht hk || |- align="center" | b d g || hp ht hk || m n ñ || +b +d+ +g || hp ht hk || |- align="center" | m n ñ || hm hn hñ || +m +n +ñ || +m +n +ñ || hm hn hñ || |- align="center" | w || hw || ñw || lw || hw || |- align="center" | y || hy || ny || ly || sh || |- align="center" | ' || h || n || tl || ts || |- align="center" | l lh || lh || +tl || +l || lh || |- align="center" | r || ht || +tl || tl || ht || |- align="center" | s sh || hts || +ts || ts || sh || |- align="center" | h || h || hn || tl || sh || |- align="center" | ts || hts || +ts || +ts || hts || |- align="center" | tl || htl || +tl || +tl || hts || |- align="center" | th || ht || +th || +th || ht || |} =Links= [[Taalen|Taalen Ethnography]]<br> [[Taalen_Writing|Taalen Writing]]<br> [[Taalen_Morphology|Taalen Morphology]] Conlang Relay 12/Toma Heylm 1969 6349 2006-01-12T20:59:30Z Pne 17 [[Category:Conlang Relay 12]] Details for the [[Toma Heylm]] text of [[Conlang Relay 12]]. ==The text== akot edra ey anyelis tamya. syin rigyana seta tomil "lhi delye sa testdre!". syin kusot seta tomil "anya, file! lo sokril simelal! eff tisanot kipayu nes oleye efim. lo delye silkot oriya syin simelalu." syin rigyana seta tomil "lhi delye sa testdre!". syin kipa seta tomil "eff tisanyik dampeyu edra". syin rigyana seta tomil "aa?". syin anya seta tomil "ure?". syin kusot seta tomil "lo delye mi kakrot lek. lo sokril filet. file!" syin rigyana seta tomil "lhi delye sa testdre!". syin kipa seta tomil "eff sokryok sipoyu, lir syim delye mi marelis". syin anya seta tamot "sem seta tomyok!". syin kipa seta tomil "haya efim, lo delye datil lek tef operu yiv "Cunux", tal sem ey sureli". syin anya seta tomil "ure dava keryik? eff seta sipil fhasayu tamamelis". syin kusot seta tomil "eff kardot kastet hiya biliyu". syin kipa seta tomil "tarya eff delye elyik dodeyi, eff delye kupra, lir Petra delye haldyik operu efim. eff sokryok bolgeyu lir syin sipetu, rel eff delye sipyok lek rumiyu". syin rigyana seta tomil "lo delye mi tulyik lek yiv kuyon la yumela". syin kipa seta tomil "eff sokryok topayu mini fhasa seta fharot dolva okostel." syin rigyana seta tomil "lhi delye sa testdre!". elyi seta peyrai yumola kareli "syin kipa seta tomil 'edra seta todat rigeli'". ==Interlinear== akot edra ey anyelis tamya.

If I did they may be in the glossary linked from [http://www.quandary.org/~langs/toma/grammar/ Grammar of Toma Heylm]. Grammar notes (longer version with charts at the above URL): Word order is SVO. Articles, number and prepositions precede nouns, and adjectives follow them. Nouns have gender, but it is not marked on the nouns; it is marked on the adjectives that modify them and the verbs for which they are the subject. Nouns inflect for case, of which there are seven (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, instrumental, locative, causative). Inflection is by a mix of prefixes and suffixes according to the following chart: Nominative [none] shadow - edior world - dampe Accusative -u, -yu edioru dampeyu Genitive -i, -yi ediori dampeyi Dative a-, ay- ayedior adampe Instrumental o-, oy- oyedior odampe Locative uy-, yu- uyedior yudampe Causative hi-, iy- iyedior hidampe Pronouns inflect irregularly for case and are given in their inflected forms in the vocabulary. Adjectives follow the noun and agree with it in gender (if singular) or number (if plural). In the singular, no suffix indicates a male noun, and -s indicates a female noun. -d indicates a plural noun. Adjectives can modify a noun or be the object of the copula. Verbs come in two flavors, -et and -al. In this dialect, there is an imperative form created by dropping the final consonant. Verbs decline for gender and/or number as follows (chart best viewed in non-proportional font): Verbs in -al Verbs in -et infinitive to see - tisanal to go - dimitet imperative tisana! dimite! male tisanyik dimityok female tisanot dimitil plural tisandre dimitrai Modals precede verbs, and adverbs follow them. Verbs conjugate for gender or number of the subject (gender if singular, number if plural). Tense, mood, and aspect are indicated by the modals. Verbs in the infinitive can follow the conjugated verb to modify it. The modal verb system is based on the three-part Creole system: * seta indicates past tense. * delye indicates irrealis mode, and has its own auxiliary particles to indicate certain moods; it is used for future events, probable, potential, wished-for, hypothetical, conditional, and "coulda/shoulda/woulda" constructions. * dava indicates imperfective aspect, including progressive, iterative, and habitual aspects. The modals always appear in the order "seta delye dava". No modals indicates non-past indicative, aka the simple present. All three modals would indicate "would have been doing", or "was about to be doing", or "intended to be doing"... The copula, ey, disappears in the presence of modals. Therefore, modals without a verb after them should be considered a form of the copula. Since the copula is considered naturally imperfective, dava is not used with it. Adverbs usually end in "ya". Some adverbs have comparative and superlative forms, which are listed in the vocabulary where appropriate. Verb phrases can be nominalized by putting the definite article "syin" before the verb, which then takes noun case marking. The former object of the verb takes genitive case. When quoting speech, the speech verb will agree in gender with the noun used as the subject. If that is different from the speaker's natural gender, then any "I-sentences" within the quoted speech will be at variance with the artificial gender of the speech verb. For example, if quoting a female farmer, one would write: Syin pason seta tomyok, "Eff delye tandot dereval tam herimu". ART N.m MOD V.m 1s MOD V.f V.inf PL N-ACC The farmer did say(male), "I will make(female) to bloom the flowers". The particle "sil" begins nominal clauses such as "that the flowers are red". Relative clauses are a different matter. Toma Heylm has internally headed relative clauses. This is very different from the way which English does things. For example: I see the woman eff tisanot syin anya-yu I(NOM) see(f) the woman-ACC The woman gives a book to the man syin anya datil mind-u syin ay-alam the woman(NOM) give(f) book-ACC the DAT-man I see the woman who gives a book to the man eff tisanot [min-u syin anya datil mind-u syin ay-alam] I(NOM) see(f) [REL_ACC the woman(NOM) give(f) book-ACC the DAT-man] I see the man to whom the woman gives a book eff tisanot [syin anya datil mind-u min-u syin ay-alam] I(NOM) see(f) [the woman(NOM) give(f) book-ACC REL-ACC the DAT-man] I see the book which the woman gives to the man eff tisanot [syin anya datil min-u mind-u syin ay-alam] I(NOM) see(f) [the woman(NOM) give(f) REL_ACC book-ACC the DAT-man] The woman who gives the book to the man sees me [min syin anya datil mind-u syin ay-alam] tisanot lifa [REL the woman(NOM) give(f) book-ACC the DAT-man] see(f) me(ACC) The man to whom the woman gives a book sees me [syin anya datil mind-u min syin ay-alam] tisanyik lifa [the woman(ACC) give(f) book-ACC REL the DAT-man] see(m) me(ACC) The book which the woman gives to the man is about me [syin anya datil min mind-u syin ay-alam] sayok lifa [the woman(NOM) give(f) REL book-ACC the DAT-man] be.about(m) me(ACC) I give the book the woman saw to the man eff datil [syin anya seta tisanot min-u syin mind-u] syin ay-alam I(NOM) give(f) [the woman(NOM) did see(f) REL-ACC the book-ACC] the DAT-man I give the book to the man the woman saw eff datil syin mindu [syin anya seta tisanot a-min syin alam-u] I(NOM) give(f) the book-ACC [the woman(NOM) did see(f) DAT-REL the man-ACC] The relativizer min comes directly before the internal head noun of the relative clause. It gets the case marking that the head noun would have had in the OUTER sentence; the head noun retains the case marking that it gets in the INNER sentence. (Backwards of the way Russian does it.) Charts of verb conjugations, noun declensions, and the pronoun matrix can be seen at [http://www.quandary.org/~langs/toma/grammar/ Grammar of Toma Heylm]. ==Smooth Translation== This story is very marvelous. The priestess said, "May you hope!" The midwife said, "Woman, push! You need to give birth! I see the baby with my eyes. You will soon complete the birth." The priestess said, "May you hope!" The baby said, "I see this world." The priestess said, "Huh?" The woman said, "What?" The midwife said "You should not fear. You need to push. Push!" The priestess said, "May you hope!" The baby said, "I need a blanket, and it should be well-made." The woman shouted, "He spoke!" The baby said, "My mother, you will not give me a name like 'Cunux', because it is ordinary." The woman said, "What is happening? I have drunk too much wine." The midwife said, "Now I am able to cut the umbilical cord." The baby said, "When I should die [lit: become dead], I would be a military general, and Peter will honor my name. I need a monster and a drink, but I won't drink milk." The priestess said, "You should not flop about like a fish on the dock." The baby said, "I need a cup of wine that has fermented eight months." The priestess said, "May you hope!" They wrote the next day, "The baby said 'This was a sacred gift'."

As a result, phonology, grammar and syntax are largely based on Polish. Wenedyk exists within the alternative timeline of Ill Bethisad, where it is spoken in the Republic of the Two Crowns. Word order is mostly free, but SVO by default. Nouns, pronouns and adjectives can have three cases (direct case, genitive, dative), three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), and two numbers (singular, plural). There are no articles. Adjectives agree with the noun in number, gender and case. They can be placed both before and after it. The Verb moods and tenses are: present, imperfect, perfect, future I, future II, imperative, and subjunctive. All appear in this relay text. Future I (imperfective future) indicates an action or state that will take place in the future. Future II (perfective future) focuses on the result of an action that will be completed in the future; depending on the context, it can be translated as a future tense, a perfect tense or a present tense in English. The subjunctive mood can be used in many ways, also as optative and conditional. In this text, you will encounter the following forms and endings. |'| indicates palatalisation of the preceding consonant (r'e > rze, t'e > cie, etc.). * Verb endings: *: -a: imperative 2.sg. *: -a, -'e: pres.3.sg. *: -cie: pres.2.pl. *: -'e: perf.1.sg. (of a-stems) *: -ęć: present active participle *: -m: pres.1.pl. *: -r: infinitive *: -rszy: subj.1/3.sg. (*) *: -ru: futII.1.sg. *: -u: pres.1.sg. *: -wa: impf.1/3.sg. *: -wie: futI.3.sg. *: -wszy: perf.1/3.sg. (of stems other than a-stems) * Noun endings: *: -a: f.dir.sg. *: -'e: f.dat.sg. *: -'e: f.dir.pl. *: -'e: m.voc.sg *: -i/-y: gen.sg. *: -u: m/n.gen.sg. *: -'u: m/n.gen.pl. * Adjective endings: *: -a: f.dir.sg. *: -'e: f.dir.pl. *: -u: m.gen.sg. === Notes === * '''Kieru''' means "please" and is extremelyy often used in polite speech. The combination '''kieru doni''' (to a man) and '''kieru donie''' (to a woman) can usually mean "sir" or "madam" respectively, and can often be left untranslated. * '''Kódże''': difficult to translaate, mostly used as an emphatic interjection along the lines of "well well", "okay", "anyway", "whatever", etc. Often used to express indifference. * '''Kura''' literally means "care", and nothhing else. It is used as a curse only because it sounds similar to the word '''kurwa''' "whore". Depending on the speaker's level of civilisation, both are used very frequently in Wenedyk. * '''Szmata''' literally means "rag", but in equally less civilised speech the plural form is often used for "clothes". * In combination with the subjunctive moood, '''w''' fulfills the function of an optative particle. This construction is also used as a polite imperative. * The third person singular of '''wlar''', '''wwłu''', can be used in conjunction with the reflexive pronoun '''sie''', in which case it become an impersonal verb with a weaker meaning than "want", something along the lines of "would like". The subject is in the dative case. * '''-ż''', '''-że''', '''ż''', '''-༨e''': particle that acts like an intensifier. * It is important to realise that the subbjunctive ending '''-rszy-''' is constructed from the infinitive and forms of the verb '''szer'''. In certain environments these two constituents can be separated from each other. === Abbreviations === adj. - adjective <br /> adv. - adverb <br /> conj. - conjunction <br /> dat. - dative case <br /> dir. - direct case <br /> f. - feminine <br /> futI. - future I <br /> futII. - future II <br /> gen. - genitive case <br /> impf. - imperfective tense <br /> intj. - interjection <br /> m. - masculine <br /> n. - neuter <br /> num. - numeral <br /> perf. - perfect tense <br /> pl. - plural <br /> prep. - preposition <br /> pres. - present tense <br /> pron.dem. - demonstrative pronoun <br /> pron.indef. - indefinite pronoun <br /> pron.int. - interrogative pronoun <br /> pron.pers. - personal pronoun <br /> pron.poss. - possessive pronoun <br /> pron.refl. - reflexive pronoun <br /> sg. - singular <br /> subj. - subjunctive mood <br /> v. - verb <br /> v.impers. - impersonal verb <br /> voc. - vocative case <br /> 1, 2, 3 - 1st, 2nd, 3rd person [[Category:Conlang Relay 12|Wenedyk]] Conlang Relay 12/Calénnawn 1971 6350 2006-01-12T20:59:41Z Pne 17 [[Category:Conlang Relay 12]] Details for the [[Calénnawn]] text of [[Conlang Relay 12]]. ==The Text== Zévo órmulxo óhucsìnu-qi.

Pronouns may be elided. Adjectives precede the nouns, but can also occur standalone (e.g. the big [one]). In compound words, the first part is the modifying part. Absence of an article in the nominative indicates indefiniteness. All prepositions govern the nominative. There is no copula "to be": the noun or adjective may be used as predicate directly. ===Grammar notes=== The dollar sign is an alternative spelling for s-caron for non-UTF-8 environments. These represent the same letter (/S/). Acute and grave accents denote primary and (in compounds) secondary stress, respectively. The letters a, á and à are not fundamentally different, since the stress can shift when words are combined into compound words. The imperative and subjunctive are both formed by suffixing the verb with "-qoy". The imperative then requires the subject to be epistemic, the subjunctive requires a deontic subject: Sónnti panaléya-qoy! See! Stu panaléya-qoy. May you see. The vocative singular is formed by adding an "-o" suffix, replacing any final vowel: Tawvágo! Midwife! The expression "need to <verb>" is expressed by the suffix "-benco" on the verb and forces a deontic subject: Stu bánxa-benco. You need to speak. "-nur" forms the gerund of a verb. If the verb is transitive, the gerund can be followed by its direct object; however, the gerund is then considered a preposition, therefore its object takes the nominative. If the gerund is used standalone, then it functions as an adverb. Examples: Sónnti din en. You have_a_beneficial_effect_on me. Sónnti bánxa dínnur e. You speak for(benefactive) me. Sónnti bánxa dínnur. You speak, having_a_benificial_effect. The plural forms are formed by replacing the last vowel in a word with |i|: lúda - lúdi eye - eyes sten - stin baby - babies The prefix "lo-" is used to create verbs expressing arbitrary rela- tions ("to have"). The formed verb is transitive, and its object can be used to specify who or what fulfills the indicated role. Sónnti loóttu. You have_got_wine. Sónnti lorofíltu Úrða. I have_for_world Earth. (i.e. Earth is my world). "pélo" is a conjunction that indicates that the object of the first sentence is identical to the subject of the second sentence. Tense is indicated by the particles "$e" (past), "máfo" (present), "gla" (future), or "gre" (immediate future), which are often used as an enclitic on the subject or on the particle "or". They are never used on the verb. "be" is a conjunction that indicates that the subject of the first sentence is identical to the subject of the second sentence. Sometimes this constitutes a fixed expression, e.g.: X bánxa Y be qúmpatme Z X says Z to Y "zóro" is a conjunction that is always compounded with a preposition. It indicates that the prepositional object of the first sentence is identical to the _fact_ described by the second sentence. Numerals are placed after the noun they modify. The perfective aspect suffix "-vra" is used as an infix if the verb ends in a consonant: El or qovrad. I have cut. The conjunction "fáygann" is translated as follows: X fáygann Y. when X, Y. The conjunction "pey", in the meaning "and", follows the two noun phrases (postfix notation): hn óttu h ttizáfe pey wine and milk "-xo" creates nouns which can function as object of the verb: órmul - órmulxo to narrate - a narration "zi" indicates that the next prepositional phrase is not attached to the entire sentence, but to the previous noun phrase instead: Éfesni fh bórmo zidrámor h baranúya. I eat fish with bread. Éfesni fh bórmo drámor Bóbo. I eat fish with Bobo. "tar" indicates an amount/quantity. Its position may be "crossed over" with the article of the following noun phrase: úrmed h tar ttizáfe a cup of milk As direct object, both noun phrases are put in the accusative. Counting in Calénnawn is base-6. xo el twelve élxo twenty ==Smooth translation== This is a very marvelous story. The priestess said, "May you hope!" The midwife said, "Woman, push! You need to give birth! I see the baby with my eyes. You will soon complete giving birth." The priestess said, "May you hope!" The baby said, "I see this world." The priestess said, "Huh?" The woman said, "What?" The midwife said, "You should not fear. You need to push. Push!" The priestess said, "May you hope!" The baby said, "I need a blanket and it should be thick." The woman shouted, "He spoke!" The baby said, "My mother, do not give me a name like 'Cunux' because that one is ordinary." The woman said, "What is happening? I drank too much wine." The midwife said, "I can now cut the umbilical cord." The baby said, "When I will die, I will be a military general and Peter will honor my name. I need a monster and the drink, but I will not drink milk." The priestess said, "You should not flop about like a fish on a dock." The baby said, "I need a cup of wine that has ripened for eight months." The priestess said, "May you hope!"

They come in three classes: inanimate, animate, and obligatorily possessed. Inanimate nouns inflect as follows (the N stands for the base): j(a)-N-a/e/0 inanimate singular j(a)-N-i inanimate plural an-N-i inanimate collective, set of X an-N-a/e/0 state of being X, act/event of X animate nouns: m(a)-N-a/e/0 animate singular m(a)-N-i animate collective or plural obligatorily possessed nouns (like body parts): l(e)-N-a/e/0 possessed by 1p entity r(i)-N-a/e/0 possessed by 2p entity s(a)-N-a/e/0 possessed by 3p entity Uninflected noun bases are interpreted as proper names. ===Pronouns (PN)=== Pronouns can stand alone or be suffixed to nouns and relationals. ===Modifiers (MOD & POST.MOD)=== Modifiers can either modify a clause, in which case they can come anywhere in the sentence, but are usually positioned on either end of the clause of phrase. Postpostional modifiers modify the noun or pronoun that they follow. ===Conjunctions (CONJ)=== Conjunctions generally precede the phrases or clauses that they connect. Some conjunctions are coordinating conjunctions, meaning that they precede all of the phrases or clauses that they connect. ===Relationals (REL)=== These are the K&#275;len equivalent of verbs. There are only 4 of them, though 2 of them inflect for tense. The 4 relationals are LA, SE, NI, and PA. LA takes a single object: something that exists in a state or a location. NI takes a single object: something that has undergone a change of state or location. SE takes a single object: something that has a source and/or a goal. PA takes two objects: a whole and its part. ===Case (CASE)=== Case markers precede their objects. ===Mood (MOOD)=== Mood markers come at the end of the sentence. One of them, k&#275;&#241;, can be inflected. The commissive marker, c&#299;, can act like an imperative when used with a second person reference. When used with a first person reference, it commits the speaker to whatever was said. ===Word Order=== A K&#275;len sentence consists minimally of a relational and its core argument, or REL NP. To this can be added case phrases, modifiers, and mood: (MOD) REL NP (POST.MOD) (CASE) (MOD) (MOOD). Nouns in apposition, if inflected identically, refer to the same entity. If inflected differently, they refer to different entities, with usually the whole or the more important noun coming first, followed by the part or the less important noun. ==Smooth Translation== This was seen (by someone) and heard.

Said the healer (to all present): I can cut the navel cord (now). Said the baby (to all present) the facts: Before I became dead, I was a high-ranking soldier. I had a valuable name and the name was Piter. And, I want a drink, you monster, but I don't want any milk. Said the grandmother (to the baby): Piter, don't be a wiggler like a worm. Said the baby (to all present): I haven't had whiskey in 8 'months'. Said the grandmother (to the baby): make yourself steadfast. The next day, someone wrote: The baby has words!

Adverbs and temporal/locative/ indirect object phrases come at the very beginning of a clause. * Verbs have a prefix which indicates subject and object as well as mood (indicative vs imperative). A special case is the null prefix, which indicates a third-person subject and either no object or a third-person object (except for the combination 3pl subject/3sg object, which has the prefix '''lu-'''). For example, '''legh''' ''see'' could mean "he sees her", "they see", or "she sees them", among other things. * Verbs can take a number of suffixes, which fall into certain classes. Specifics are not important here, except for the fact that suffixes must occur in a certain order, depending on the class of each suffix; this order may or may not correspond to the "natural" order that the translations would take in English (e.g. '''poSnISmoH''' ''need to open'' from '''poS''' ''be open'' + '''-moH''' ''causative'' + '''-nIS''' ''need'', but with suffix order '''-nISmoH''' not '''-moHnIS'''). * Verbs are optionally marked for aspect (continuous or perfective) but are not marked for tense. An unmarked verb may have a past, present, or future interpretation, which must be determined from context. Even a verb with a perfective suffix need not refer to a past event. * Relative clauses use the marker -bogh on the verb in the subordinate cluase. If it is not clear whether the head of the subordinate clause is the subject or the object of that clause, the head may be made explicit by attaching the topic marker '''<nowiki>-'e'</nowiki>''' to the head. * Nouns can also takes suffixes, which also come in classes. The ones used in this text should be fairly self-explanatory. * Two nouns next to one another modify one another in the order modifier-modified, e.g. '''qun paq''' ''history book'' from '''qun''' ''history'' + '''paq''' ''book'', or '''qeylIS betleH''' ''Kahless's bat'leth'', from '''qeylIS''' ''Kahless (proper name)'' + '''betleH''' ''bat'leth (type of weapon)''. * Pronouns can function like nouns (I, thou, he, etc.) or as verbs (I am, thou art, he is, etc.). A special case is the "to be" sentence for a third-person subject, which consists of object + 3rd person pronoun + subject noun with topic marker '''<nowiki>-'e'</nowiki>''' (e.g. '''<nowiki>Qel ghaH loDvam'e'</nowiki>''' ''this man is/was a doctor'', from '''Qel''' ''doctor'', '''ghaH''' ''he (is)'', '''<nowiki>loDvam'e'</nowiki>''' ''this man (top.)''. * Reported speech always uses the verb '''jatlh''' ''speak, talk, say'', possibly in connection with a different verb of speech such as '''ghItlh''' ''write'' or '''jang''' ''reply''. For example, "He replied, 'I will not kill him'" would be '''jang, jatlh: «vIHoHQo'»''' -- literally: "He replied; he said, 'I will not kill him'". * Sentences can take previous sentences as objects; in this case, the previous sentence is replaced with the special pronoun '''<nowiki>'e'</nowiki>'''. Any adverbials etc. precede this object, as they do other objects. For example, '''paq DalaDpu' wej 'e' vIHar''' ''I do not yet believe that you have read the book'' ('''paq''' ''book'', '''<nowiki>DalaDpu'</nowiki>''' ''you have read it (perf.)'', '''wej''' ''not yet'', '''<nowiki>'e'</nowiki>''' ''that (refers back to previous sentence as an object)'', '''vIHar''' ''I believe it''). NB do not confuse the pronoun '''<nowiki>'e'</nowiki>''' with the noun suffix '''<nowiki>-'e'</nowiki>''' (topic marker). (The first always stands alone; the second is always attached to a word.) * It may be easiest first to identify the main verb in each clause; anything before it is adverbs, temporal/locative/indirect object phrases, or the object of the verb; anything after it is the subject. If the subject or the object is a relative clause, next identify whether the subordinate verb has anything before or after it, indicating the object and/or subject of the subordinate clause. If the second sentence uses the sentence-as-object pronoun '''<nowiki>'e'</nowiki>''', try to determine where the first sentence ends (e.g. by looking for adverbials etc. which must come at the beginning of a sentence). * Verbs with '''<nowiki>-lu'</nowiki>''' indicate an unknown or unspecified subject. In such cases, the prefixes take on a different meaning; with subject and object trading places. For example, '''Da-''' (which usually means "you - him/her/it/them") means "someone/something - you", e.g. '''<nowiki>Daleghlu'</nowiki>''' ''someone sees you''. Such verbs can sometimes be translated as passives; in the example, "You are seen".

The verbs are conjugated based on politeness level and evidentiality. There are four levels of politeness in Darynse. 'Casual' is used for two equals in an informal setting. It is usually only used among family or close friends. 'Polite' is the standard tense for two equals. 'Authoritative' is used when the speaker is in charge of the listener -- most often with teachers, bosses, and adult relatives speaking to students/employees/children. Using it all the time makes you look rather egotistical. As for the evidentiality, Darynese verbs can be conjugated based on whether they are positive (the speaker knows this to be true), negative (the speaker knows this to be false) or positive or negative hearsay (the speaker is uncertain of the truth of the statement, but thinks it is either true or false). The Darynese verb ai (to do) is irregular. Adding /-ra/ to the end of the verb changes the meaning. For an authoritative verb, it turns the sentence into a command. The suffix -ril is used to turn a verb into a participle. Adjectives and adverbs proceed the word they modify, and change ending to match th gender of the noun. Darynese has ten genders. The ones used in the above paragraph are listed in the suffix part of the glossary. Adverbs are left in the root forms. Note that these rules are also used on participles. An indirect object is indicated by the suffix /-kul/. Kharos S'fik 1983 8938 2006-05-10T21:39:57Z Pakramm 96 == About == Traditional Kharos S'fik was created 1/2006 by Pascal A. Kramm. It is the predecessor of Modern [[Charos S'fik]]. It is used in [http://www.conlang.info/relay/relay13.html Conlang Relay 13]. As the Relay is over now, look below for the Relay text. == Culture == The speakers of Kharos S'fik, the Hoka, are living majorly on Hokkaido (Japan's northern-most island), but a good amount of them also live on Honshû (the Japanese main island), and there mostly in the Kantô region. A small amount is still living on the Russian island Sakhalin north of Hokkaido.<br> Their name stems back from the late 16th century, when they first made contact with westerners (most likely Portuguese) who named them "Hocaidoes". They eventually adapted the name for themselves, but shortened it to "Hoka". == Origin == When analyzing their language, and also judging from their original Phoenician-derived script, it seems most likely that the Hoka were originally tribes coming from today's Germany and Scandinavia, as you can still find Germanic-sounding words in their vocabulary. From their original habitat, they moved more and more eastwards, crossing all of Russia on the way (which had quite an impact on their language), always looking for a good place to stay. They eventually set over to Sakhalin, and from there to Hokkaido, where they finally started settling down, while some moved on to Honshû and settled mostly in the Kantô region. Their language became strongly influenced by Japanese over time.<br> With the Modernisation, triggered by the Meiji Restauration of 1868, the language evolved into Modern [[Charos S'fik]]. == Grammar == Sentences have '''SOV''' order. All words consist of '''sound units''' which are usually made up of '''CV''' (consonant-vowel) pairs, though vowel-only or consonant-only units are also possible.<br> Final consonants are tacked onto the preceding unit. Every unit takes the same time to pronounce.<br> The stress lies on the first consonant-only unit or otherwise on the last unit. == Script == Traditional Kharos S'fik has three scripts, two of which are still used today.<br> The transcriptions into the roman script for all three scripts were devised by a German merchant around the 1870s to faciliate trade, after Japan had ended its period of isolation with the Meiji Revolution in 1868 and opened itself to trade with foreigners again. ===Fenix script=== [[image:Fenix-script.png|left|thumb|150px|Fenix Script]] The Fenix script is the original and oldest script. Like many other scripts (including our roman script), it probably developed from the phoenician script.<br> Its use today is limited to formal occassions, for headlines, or to express special emphasis (where the roman script would use bold or italic text). <br style="clear:both;" /> ===Khaful script=== [[image:Khaful-scipt.png|left|thumb|150px|Khaful Script]] The Khaful script appeared some time after the Fenix script. It uses the same vowels and vowel marks, but completely different chars for all consonants.<br> It was apparently only used for a short time period alongside with the Fenix script and disappeared again soon.<br> It is not used at all anymore today. <br style="clear:both;" /> ===Tifet HW script=== [[image:Tifet-script.png|left|thumb|150px|Tifet HW Script]] When Buddhist scriptures arrived, people were very fond of the Tibetan handwriting the scriptures were composed in. Compared to the Fenix script, it seemed much more practical as letters were connected, and thus it could be written more fluently.<br> Aesthetical considerations probably further helped it to eventually replace the Fenix script as the everyday purpose script.<br> Today, this is still the main script used for most occassions in which Traditional Kharos S'fik is used, with few exceptions where the Fenix script is still used. <br style="clear:both;" /> == Phonology == This table presents the alphabet (khakra) in its proper order. {|border=1 !

There, a boy clearly on the way to the school is in front of a garden and a fat red male cate is on his shoulder. The animal can balance (itself) well while the boy tries to shake it down. During this he has more and more panic because he knows that the bus will come soon. There the cat creates disturbance. One time he puts a paw on the fence, but it seems (to be) too cold, so it pulls itself back on the school boy's backpack. As it has made (itself) comfortable, the bus comes. Finally, the cat's day was surely interesting. == Lexicon == <code> {| ! Kharos S'fik || Ipa || English |- !

Kerno was born of the proliferation of Vulgar Latin and British Romance in the aftermath of the evacuation of Roman troops during the 5th century. Three principal dialect centres coalesced: the <i>Eastern</i> at Londinium, the <i>Northern</i> at Castra Legionis (Castreleon) and the <i>Western</i> at Esca Dumnonum (Ysca). Between 700 and 1350 AD, Kerno flourished as a literary language, and much prose, poetry and scholarly material was produced. The Arthurian legendarium was also expressed in Kerno. After the late XIV century, [http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/introduction.html Brithenig] became ascendant and by turns became the official language of government, business and society in general. Between 1425 and 1875 practically nothing of note was written in Kerno; but the last quarter of the XIX century saw a cultural renaissance in Kemr. It was this movement that spurned the resurgence of Kerno as a literary language and paved the way for the dismantling of the Brithenig only policies that had become enshrined in law and tradition. In the first decade of the XXJ century, one finds that Kerno is moribund in its own homeland. Much blame has been placed on the Language Boards who were charged with choosing a standard form of the language and devising a standard orthography. They failed in their challenge, leaving the province's schools a shambles and causing about 75% of the population to become L1 Paesan (Brithenig) speakers. The language is flourishing in all the lands it has colonised. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kerno's immediate relatives include [[Brehonecq]] (the form spoken in France) and Duro, spoken in the southeastern quarter of Dûnein. Near kin include [[Paesan]] (a dialect of Brithenig) and [http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/introduction.html Brithenig] itself. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dûnein is a rather cosmopolitan province, and especially its capital city, Ysca. Other languages spoken in the province are Castilian, Francien, Angli, Cantonese and Gaulhosc. Kerno is planned for use in Relay 13. == Phonology == {| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="full" ! colspan="2" bgcolor="green" style="font-size:120%"|Sounds |- | valign="top"|Consonants<br> b, as in ball: /b/<br> bh, as in veil: /v/<br> c, before e or i as in cell or church: /s/, /tʃ/, /ʃ/<br> c, before a, o or u as in call: /k/<br> ch, as in loch: /x/<br> ci, as in ship: /ʃ/<br> ck, as in clock: /k/<br> coeu and cou, as in quick: /kw/<br> d, as in day: /d/<br> dd and dh, as in them: /D/<br> f, as in fish: /f/<br> g, as in go: /g/<br> geo, as in lozenge: /ʒ/<br> gh, like ch but voiced: /ɣ/<br> goeu and gou, as in Gwent: /gw/<br> h, like high: /h/<br> j, as in jump: /dʒ/<br> jeo, as in azure: /ʒ/<br> k, as in call: /k/<br> kh, as in loch: /x/<br> l, as in look: /l/<br> ll, often as in look: /l/; sometimes h and l together: /hl/<br> m, as in milk: /m/<br> mh, as in veil: /v/<br> n and nh, as in new: /n/<br> p, as in pick: /p/<br> ph, as in flip: /f/<br> r, can be rolled or back in the throat: /r/, /ʁ/<br> rh, like h and r together: /hr/<br> s, as in sit: /s/<br> si, as in ship: /ʃ/<br> t, as in tell: /t/<br> th and ti, as in thorn: /θ/<br> v, as in van or wall: /v/, /w/<br> w, as in wall: /w/<br> x, as in loch, shape or rex: /x/, /ʃ/, /ks/<br> y, as in yet: /j/<br> z, as in zing or breathe: /z/, /ð/<br> | valign="top"|Vowels<br> a, as in father or cut: /a/, /ə/<br> e, as in pay or pen: /e/, /ɛ/<br> i, as in sleep or kin: /i/, /ɪ/<br> o, as in broken or pot: /o/, /ɔ/<br> u, as in food or mud: /u/, /ʌ/<br> y, as in sleep: /i/<br> ao, as in coo: /u/<br> ay, as in eye: /aɪ/<br> aw, as in cow: /aw/<br> ea, “eh” followed by “uh”: /eʌ/<br> ei, as in say: /eɪ/<br> eo, “eh” followed by “eu”: /eø/<br> ey, as in pay: /eɪ/<br> eu, as in French “heure”: /ø/<br> eou, as in “eh” plus “eu”: /eø/<br> ew, “eh” followed by “oo”: /eu/<br> io, as in yoke: /jo/<br> iw, as in yew: /ju/<br> oa, “eu” plus “oh” plus “ah”: /oa/<br> oi, as in boy: /oj/<br> ou, as in owe: /ow/<br> oy, as in boy: /oj/<br> ui, as in hay: /e/<br> |} == Grammar Notes == &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kerno is VSO in nature; still exhibits word initial mutations; has articles definite and indefinite; nouns of masc., fem. and epicene genders; no adj-noun agreement; two nominal cases, nominative and oblique with vestigial dative, possessive and instrumental; base-20 number system; full supply of personal, reflexive, demonstrative and possessive pronouns; object pronouns are usually found conjoined to preverbs (preverbs are kind of like nominal prepositions); three verbal conjugations with a variety of simple and compound tenses, the latter of which can become rather complicated; there are a large number of irregular nouns and verbs. The copula is often omitted, and sometimes the personal pronoun when the antecedant is not (or should not be) in question. == Sample Text == &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Tower of Babel myth is a very common sample text, and can be found in the texts page linked to below. Here, I'll offer a little snippet from <i>Lla Sul</i>, one of Kemr's preeminent news papers, from 14 July, 1898: <b>dol' omèn il sezlonds le llongfrangeièn: Pernauigasot c' om perry vor, et durant ke domonis.se az al isel, rompus sa la sew llonga. Gouiuefas y pluzeor ans; et-z-eliverasot-el la Armada Reyal. Dondrhuasot-li il capetans: ''Quhit wye daes ye hae twae kirkes, mon?'' Savus il capetans, Albaneck, ionte a nemez y Chomrow, mays y chapeuw y zew per li yen omèn ast po en var! Doponus il wortó a-z-el yen et deckis: ''C' aquel, moniem a nemez y Zi la Sulis.'' ''An at yin thonder?'' rhuasot il capetans. ''Ay, c' aquels. Ieo n' moniem pass nonck a nemez y Zi la Sulis!''</b> The Story of the Shipwrecked Man: A man was sailing upon the sea and as he approached an island, his boat wrecked. He lived several years and at last was recued by the Royal Navy. The captain asked him: "Why do you have two chapels here?" The captain, a Scot, knew that the Comro were ardent church goers, but two chapels for one man is too much! He pointed out one of them and said: "That's where I go to church of a Sunday." "And the other?" asked the captain. "Ah, that one. I don't never go there of a Sunday!" To get a feel for what the Kerno speaker is actually reading: At the man, the story of the shipwreck: Sailed this man upon the sea, and while that he came on to the island, broke she his ship. Lived several years; and rescued-him the Royal Navy. To him asked the captain: "Quit wye daes ye hae twae kirkes, mon?" Knew the captain, a Scot, goers to church the Comro, but chapels two for the one man is at the beyond! He put-to the finger at the one and said: "That thonder, go I to church the Sunday." "An at yin thonder?" asked the captain. "Ay. That thonder. I don't never go to church (there) at all the Sunday!" == Links == See this [http://www.bethisad.com/kerno_grammar_paradigms.htm article] for a good synopsis of Kerno grammar.

The priestess spoke and said, "Hope!" The midwife spoke and said, "Woman, push! You need to give birth! I see the baby using my eyes. You are about to give birth." The priestess spoke and said, "Hope!" The baby spoke and said, "I see this world." The priestess said, "Oy!" The woman said, "What?" The midwife spoke and said, "Do not fear. You need to push! Push!" The priestess spoke and said, "Hope!" The baby spoke and said, "I need a blanket, and may it be thick." The woman screamed and said, "S/he/it spoke!" The baby spoke and said, "My mother, do not give unto me the name 'Cúnucs' because it is common/ordinary." The woman spoke and said, "What is happening? I have drunk too much wine." The midwife spoke and said, "I am able to cut the umbilical cord." The baby spoke and said, "When I die, I will have been a military general and Peter will honour my name. I need a monster and I need to drink, but I will not drink the milk." The priestess spoke and said, "You should not flop about like a fish on a dock." The baby spoke and said, "I need a cup of wine aged 12 months." The priestess spoke and said, "Hope!" It was written the next day, "The baby speaks and says, 'This is a sacred gift.'" == Tæĺf with Interlinear == Het - her ðeþrek færl. This - very marvel.postBF2 story.

Because of this, word formation paradigms call for consonants A, B, C, etc. For example, in the [particularly long, for sake of example] stem SFRNZ, consonant A is S, and consonant E is Z. In the lexicon, most noun/verb/adjective citations are given as the stem with the citation form in ()s; other forms can be derived/identified in the next section on important forms. See final comments. Important Forms --------------- See note 4 (before 4a); applies generally to verbs as well. Verbal participles/gerunds: - liry + preBF present part/ger - laj + preBF past part/ger - áwrə + preBF future part/ger - kə(/ke) + preBF passive or perfective part/ger - kaj + preBF causative part/ger Verbal forms: - citation form: - AáwB (AáfB) - AāBaCá - AāBaCáDī - AāBaCáDiE - pre-bound form: - -AB - -AByCám / -AByCáp - -AByCá(w/f)Dō - -AByCá(w/f)DoE - post-bound form: - A(ī/i)B- - AiBC- - AiBC(ē/e)D- - AiBCeDE- Noun forms: - citation form: - AæB(C(əD)) - pre-bound form: - -ABo(C(əD)) - post-bound form: - AyB- - AyBCō- - AyBC(ō/o)D- - post-bound form 2 (denominal adjectives): - AeB(C(eD)) - sometimes: AeBCe or AaBC Final-bound pronouns: -o -áwŋ -ás -áfþ -áð -áwn Notes ----- (1) - indicates a missing copula, although a copula would normally not come in the position - is found. Normal word order in Tæĺf would be X Y COP, but when there's no copula, the order is X - Y. (2) Because of the history of Tæĺf, many potentially confusing allophonic variations of consonants may exist: - The following are quite common: l/ĺ/ɬ(/f), g/ɣ/k, k/x, (v/)b/p/w/f, r/ŕ, n/ń, j/ś, m/ḿ, n/ŋ́/g, and a few others that are much less common (2a) In addition, some other things should be taken into account: - roots ending in h often won't show their h in certain forms, since h drops at the end of syllables after fricatives - there are some vowel variations too, most of which shouldn't be too opaque, some of which may be typos. (3) Quotatives are used for any material that's typically quoted. In Tæĺf, there are two common quotatives: - keft is used for things which are said. Think of "person 'X' keft verb" as "person, having said 'X', verb". There are many other ways of dealing with this in English, depending on the verb; also, as long as keft comes immediately after the quoted material, the rest of the sentence's syntax is pretty loose. - kesm is used for names. "'X' kesm thing" can be thought of as "thing called 'X'", or, English-permitting, "'X' thing". (4) The post-bound form (postBF) of the noun is used to show that something slightly less salient than the noun follows it: - for oblique case, after which case markers / postpositions follow - postBF nouns can precede other nouns (which can change in form depending on the resulting noun phrase's use): e.g., music.postBF disc = music disc, disc of music. (4a) Also, compound nouns don't have to use the post-bound form, and instead simply the citation form. Alternatively, the 2nd noun can be in preBF. In these instances, the filler vowel 'y' is often inserted between the nouns so that the phonology comes out okay. (4b) Some compounds may not be semantically obvious, even in context; if there seems to be ambiguity, contact me and I will provide compounds as if they are pieces of the lexicon previously not included. (5) Distributive prepositions can be thought of as mini relative clauses: þyndot beāk hæńf (temple.postBF at-DIST woman) = the woman at the temple, the woman who is at the temple Final Comments - Contact me! ---------------------------- As with any relay, if any questions come up, please contact me. I realise the syntax may be difficult for people unfamiliar with SOV languages; again, all questions are welcome, especially if something Just Doesn't Make Sense--everything should come out fairly simple and should make sense at least outside the context of everything else (you know how relays can be...), except perhaps the last sentence, which shouldn't be terrible, but is slightly complicated. If my server were up (it will be in about a week, but that does you little good now), I'd direct you to more complete info on Tæĺf, though I think I've sent everything that'll be necessary to tackle the relay. If you need any futher information, however, contact me. If there are unicode issues, contact me. I can easily provide pdf files which will present things as they're supposed to look. </pre> == Vocab == <pre> - indicates missing copula (see note 1) -k distributiviser/relativiser, for postpositions (see note 5) áwrə + verb.preBF future gerund or participle áwrə + verb.preBF + (j +) pronoun future gerund beā locative, at bir in BJÐS (bæjðəs) world bleŋk again ble + j + pronoun [pronoun]'s own (e.g., 'blejás' = 'your own') brer temporal locative, during, at the time of DGGW (dæɣgəp) milk ðek like, as (postposition) DNT (dæńt) gift DNT (dānatá) give DRK (dāraká) become ÐÞRK (ðæþrək) amazing thing, marvel ÐKL (ðākalá) keep FÐR (fæðr) writing implement (pen, pencil, quill) FÐR (fāðará) write FJT (fājatá) drink (verb) FRL (færl) story FRL (fāralá) say (archaic: recount) FSH (fāsahá) push FSH (fāsahá) push (see note 2a) futGerund + pronoun + [necessary] [it is necessary that] subject verb[s], subject['s] verb[ing is necessary], subject [needs to] verb, subject [should] verb futGerund + pronoun + [possible] [it is possible that] subject verb[s], subject['s] verb[ing is possible], subject [is able to / can] verb futGerund + [come] verb tense: immediate future futParticiple + [give] verb tense: future GŊF (gæŋ́f) command (noun) GŊF (gāgafá) command (verb) ŊJ (gawś) scream, cry out, shriek háð s/he/it (3rd.sg.nom) háfþ you (2nd.pl.nom) hás you (2nd.sg.nom) háwŋ we (1st.pl.nom) háwn they (3rd.pl.nom) həwyðeā me (1st.sg.dat) hasyɬjáp your (2nd.sg.gen) her very het this HLÐ (hæĺþ) cougar HMJK (hæmjək) hamster; any small rodent (e.g., mouse, gerbil; most squirrels and rats would be considered large rodents) ho I (1st.sg.nom) hojā my (1st.sg.gen) hojś! exclamation of surprise: "oy!", "ay!", "omg!" jelyj but JH (jáf) go (see note 2a) JL (jæɬ) year kə (/ke) + verb.preBF passive participle kəlamzyjānā unnecessary kəmzyjáwnō necessary kaj + verb.preBF causative gerund or participle kaj + verb.preBF + (j +) pronoun causative gerund keft QUOT1 (see note 3) kesm QUOT2 (see note 3) KJ (káfś) put KL (kawl) stay KLK (kæĺk) wolf; scary or dangerous animal, monster KLV (kālabá) come KMV (kæḿp) rope, string KN (kæn) sun; day KRŊ (kāragá) address, hail kuhkaɬ much laj + verb.preBF past gerund or participle laj + verb.preBF + (j +) pronoun past gerund liry + verb.preBF present gerund or participle liry + verb.preBF + (j +) pronoun present gerund LVS (læfs) blanket, cover, covering (sometimes: rug, carpet) LVS (lābasá) cover (verb) mij instrumental MJS (mæśs) life MJSH (mæśsəh) baby (see note 2a) MKK (mæxk) any sort of armed force: army, military, police, etc MLN (mæln) belief, faith, religion MM (mæm) mother momgyn possible MTN (mætn) declaration MTN (mātaná) declare nō what, which NKL (naxl) ordinary, plain, normal noun.citeF-[y-]noun.citeF compound noun phrase (see note 4a) noun.citeF-[y-]noun.preBF compound noun phrase (see note 4a) noun.postBF oblique (followed by cases/postpositions) noun.postBF + (j +) pronoun possessed/ive form noun.postBF + (j +) əla (+ j + pronoun) plural noun.postBF noun distributive (see note 4) noun.postBF-[y-]noun.citeF compound noun phrase (see note 4a) passParticiple + [put] finite form of passive voice passParticiple + [stay] verb tense: [such a situation definitely exists] presParticiple + [stay] verb tense: [such a situation exists] rep one RG (ráfk) lead (verb) RJ (ráfś) see RNL (rānalá) die RZDT (ræzdət) birth (noun) RZDT (rāzadátī) give birth (verb) SFRNZ (sāfaránis) hope; pray non-secularly SLM (sæɬm) eye SM (sæm) name (noun) soɣr soon SSLS (sæsləs) honour (noun) SSLS (sāsalásī) honour (verb) STKN (sætkən) mug, cup, glass, goblet; any container with a wide, open top which liquid is poured into and drunk from (e.g., not a flask) tēmə + noun.postBF doer, agent; more generally, person whose job deals with noun tefr too TJD (tæśt) age, oldness (noun) TJD (tājadá) age (verb) TJD (teśt,tejde) aged, old (adj) TLL (tæĺĺ) thickness TLL (tālalá) to be thick TLL (teɬle) thick TRV (tæŕf) fear (noun) TRV (tārabá) fear (verb) tsáŋ because of, since, for þá accusative ÞNDT (þændət) woman, any female creature ÞRFN (þæŕfən) priest, any religious leader ÞRRS (þærrəs) alcoholic beverage, spirits: usually cider, but also applies to wine, beer, ale, vodka, etc. (of these, only cider and various wines are native to Tæĺf speakers) verb.citeF infinitival form verb.postBF (+ j) + pronoun finite form, usually present tense verb.postBF + (y + ) lā(/laj) negative verb.postBF + (y +) tsā + j + pronoun past tense verb.postBF + saŋa + j + pronoun imperative VNTJ (bānatájī) exclaim, sound/peal (of a horn/bell) VRK (bāraká) bless, make holy/divine; make non-secularly divine/special VRTZ (bāratázī) help, assist VTN (bātaná) speak, talk yðeā dative, to ZSD (zāsadá) cut, slice; split, divide ZVR (zæwr) gate, opening </pre> == The Text in Tæĺf == Het - her ðeþrek færl.

Erika Heidewald, the language's creator, is an amateur Indiana linguist whose knowledge of Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Chinese led her to create a language using the advantages to each language, and eliminating unnecessary linguistic hardships. Vemiesiire means "the people's language," coming from the Vemiesiire words "vemieye," meaning person, and "siire," meaning language. Vemiesiire has a distinct alphabet but can easily be written with an alphabet similar to that of [[Spanish]]. The language was created to fulfill three main goals: aesthetic beauty, easy learning, and logical structure. Vemiesiire is interesting in that it is one of the only [[constructed languages]] actively being expanded and promoted currently. <h3>The Sound</h3> Vemiesiire uses the basic alphabet of [[English]], with the added letters ñ, forming the [[Spanish]] "enye" sound, and "sch," similar to the English sh sound. The most frequent sounds are the most pleasing to the ear, and harsh letters such as g, pronounced as in the English word "get," denote negative words. I is pronounced like the English "ee," c as "ch," and q as "qu," as in "question," except for when at the end of a word. <h3>Grammar</h3> [[Grammar]] is very simple in Vemiesiire. Any word can be made into an adjective by adding the prefix -ja, the j sound being similar to that of [[French]]. Nouns and verbs are often the same word, adding the suffices -el to mean "a place where it is done" and -it to mean "one who does this." Unlike some constructed languages such as [[Esperanto]], Vemiesiire has no noun gender. Vemiesiire distinguishes no difference between adjectives and adverbs, but simply describing both as "taresjaa savaca," or "descriptors." The word "you" is "zie" or "ziea" for multiple parties. Similar to English, there is no pronoun of respect such as the "Usted" of Spanish, the "Sie" of German, or the "lei" of Italian. Verb conjugation is simple and retains the same form for all pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they). Pronouns don't change based on the subject of the sentence, similar to "you" in the English language. {| class="wikitable" style="margin: 0 auto; text-align:center;" ! Pronoun ! English Equivalent |- align="center" ! dela | {{IPA|I, me}} |- align="center" ! zie | {{IPA|you}} |- align="center" ! kanai | {{IPA|he, him}} |- align="center" ! kenai | {{IPA|she, her (not poss.)}} |- align="center" ! zi | {{IPA|it}} |- align="center" ! kaerne | {{IPA|we, us}} |- align="center" | '''zedei''' | {{IPA|they, them}} |} Because of the flexible sentence structure and simple verb conjugations, Vemiesiire takes little effort to learn, only practice. Vemiesiire is relatively new and at this point has few speakers. It is, however, steadily gaining popularity, especially near its place of origin, America's midwest. == Sample == The following is a Vemiesiire translation of the first nine lines of the book of [[Genesis]], traditionally used to compare languages. 1.

It is an inflected fusional language with two grammatical genders and It is based on no other language, but it is nonetheless mostly conventional. ==Phonology== ===Vowels=== {| border=1 !Vowel||[[IPA]] |- |a||{{IPA|[a, ə]}} |- |e||{{IPA|[&#x025B;]}} |- |ê||{{IPA|[eɪ, e]}} |- |i||[i] |- |o||{{IPA|[&#x0254;]}} |- |ô||{{IPA|[oʊ]}} |- |u||[u] |} * At the end of a word, r can also serve as a vowel. * When two vowels are juxtaposed, o = ô and e = ê. Hence ear [eɪ.ar] * er = [er], not [ɜr] ===Diphthongs=== {| border=1 !Diphthong||[[IPA]] |- |ay||{{IPA|[aɨ]}} |- |oy||{{IPA|[ɔɪ]}} |- |uy||[uɪ] |- |aw||{{IPA|[aʊ]}} |- |ew||{{IPA|[eʊ]}} |} ===Consonants=== {| border=1 !Consonant||[[IPA]] |- |b||[b] |- |c||[k] |- |ch||[{{IPA|ʧ}}] |- |d||[d] |- |dh||[&eth;] |- |f||[f] |- |g||[g] |- |h||[h] |- |k||[x] |- |l||[l] |- |m||[m] |- |n||[n] |- |ng||[&#x014B;] |- |p||[p] |- |r||[r] |- |s||[s] |- |sh||{{IPA|[&#x0283;]}} |- |t||[t] |- |th||[&theta;] |- |v||[v] |- |w||[w] |- |x||[ks] |- |y||[j] |- |z||[z] |} At the end of a word, o is pronounced as ô and e as ê. ===Stress=== Stress falls on the first syllable unless there is an accented vowel: * a -> á * e -> é * ê -> è * o -> ò * ô -> ó * u -> ú which, naturally, takes the stress. Also, any diphthong automatically takes the stress, including the "diphthongs" ar, er, ir, or, and ur, unless there is an accent mark, which always overrides it; however, stress cannot fall on the last syllable unless there is an accent written. Thus, "sathay" is pronounced ['saθaɪ] whereas "satháy" is pronounced [saθ'aɪ]. ===Syllable rules=== Where C represents any consonant above and V any vowel, generally: Word-initially, a syllable may take the form CCVC; Medially, a syllable may take the form CVC; Word-finally, a syllable may take the form CVC. This boils down to a word structure of CCVCCVCCVCCVC, at most. In other words, you can never have more than two consonants next to each other, including liquids. Some exceptions: * After a diphthong, only one consonant is allowed (in effect, the y or w at the end of the diphthong counts as a consonant even though it really isn't one). * If the last consonant is a spirant [s] or [z], the final syllable can take the form CVCs. * When the last consonant is r functioning as a vowel, the cluster can end in CCVCr or even theoretically CCVCsr. For example, "tiryatr" (to the kingdom), "èmatr" (to the animal), "cutsr" (to the cube). When a voiced consonant comes in contact with an unvoiced consonant, the whole consonant cluster becomes voiced. Thus, satha (white) + varósa (clothed) = sadhvarósa (white-clothed) vekti (verb, to think) + ya (3rd person sing. pres. ind.) = vekta Two plosives can never be juxtaposed. When there is a consonant cluster of the form PP (where P is a plosive), it will become FP, where F is the fricative equivalent according to the following rule: * p -> f * b -> v * t -> th * d -> dh * ch -> sh * c -> k * g -> g The resultant is then voiced if necessary; since there is no voiced equivalent of k, it simply disappears. The following clusters will change as follows, where P is any plosive, V any vowel, and F any fricative, N any nasal and P(n) that nasal's plosive equivalent: * PvV -> PwV * PgV -> PyV * kyV -> shV * hyV -> cyV * NN -> P(n)N This transformations are performed before applying the two-consonant rule to reduce clusters. Hence, nelki (to hate) + ya (3rd person singular present) = nelsha ==Grammar== ===Nouns=== Eylastali nouns have the following properties: * Two genders: masculine and feminine; * Two numbers: singular and plural. Gender is lost in the plural. * Six cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, locative, and vocative; * Two "aspects": definite and indefinite; * Two "verities": positive and negative. I can't figure out how to do a fancy table so bear with me here: For the prototypical masculine noun I here use "neldas" (the nose), for the prototypical feminine "etwês" (the star). Not all nouns are regular; many nouns end simply in a consonant rather than the -a or -e gender ending. These words must simply be memorized along with their gender (normally denoted by the nominative pronoun they take, "ga" (masculine) or "e" (feminine)). ====Regular masculine paradigm==== * Nominative positive: nelda (a nose), neldas (the nose) * Nominative negative: nelday (not a nose), neldays (not the nose) * Accusative positive: neldo (a nose), neldos (the nose) * Accusative negative: neldoy (not a nose), neldoys (not the nose) * Genitive positive: nelden (a/the nose's) * Genitive negative: neldedmá (not a/the nose's) * Dative positive: neldar (to a/the nose) * Dative negative: neldamá (not to the nose) * Locative positive: neldov (at the nose) * Locative negative: neldoyv (not at the nose) * Vocative positive: neldat (O nose!) * Vocative negative: neldayt (O non-nose!) ====Regular feminine paradigm==== * Nominative positive: etwe (a star), etwês (the star) * Nominative negative: etweya (not a star), etwêsmá (not the star) * Accusative positive: etwo (a star), etwôs (the star) * Accusative negative: etwoy (not a star), etwôsmá (not the star) * Genitive positive: etwin (a/the star's) * Genitive negative: etwidmá (not a/the star's) * Dative positive: etwiz (to a/the star) * Dative negative: etwemá (not to the star) * Locative positive: etwon (at the star) * Locative negative: etwoyn (not at the star) * Vocative positive: etwêt (O star!) * Vocative negative: etwêtmá (O non-star!) ====Regular plural paradigm==== * Nominative positive: etwi (stars), etwis (the stars) * Nominative negative: etwiya (not stars), etwismá (not the stars) * Accusative positive: etwu (stars), etwus (the stars) * Accusative negative: etwuy (not stars), etwusmá (not the stars) * Genitive positive: etwanir (a/the stars') * Genitive negative: etwadmá (not a/the stars') * Dative positive: etwalir (to a/the stars) * Dative negative: etwalmá (not to the stars) * Locative positive: etwanon (among the stars) * Locative negative: etwanoyn (not among the stars) * Vocative positive: etwit (O stars!) * Vocative negative: etwitmá (O non-stars!) ===Pronouns=== I'm going to sleep now ==A finished text in Eylastal== Chalaylas Urov swa Driov Aharo cwi aványir adzelir swa sewlir sadhalir kay egmov so, cyat nwa voydhósa laylim ivlir te ti ecyo aynon sunanon efró.

Read at your own risk ;-) This page used to contain more material, but I have deleted it because it no longer reflects my current thinking about Nostratic. I really don't know what to think of Nostratic. I am far from being a firm believer in it, but there are things such as similar pronoun roots, verb conjugations, etc., which look as if there was more to it than mere chance. There is this sense of familiarity one gets (or at least, I get it) from reading a grammar of Finnish or Turkish, as opposed to, say, a grammar of Mandarin or Lakota. I mean, it looks all so ''familiar'' from an Indo-European standpoint. However, most of what has been published in books or on the web on this matter so far failed to convince me (including my own stuff - I am ''not'' really convinced that what I write here is right). I think system comparison - the application of the comparative method to phonological and morphological inventories rather than lists of lexemes - is the most useful approach to such long distance relationships. At the time depths involved (more than 10,000 years), the degree of lexical replacement is so high and the sound changes are so many that few if any lexical cognates can be found. I reject the method of mass lexical comparison used by some long-range comparatists. This method registers only ''similarities'' but not ''cognates''. It is at best a heuristic for finding relationship ''candidates'' which then must be explored using the comparative method, at worst a snake oil technique by which everything and nothing can be 'proven'. I also reject glottochronology. The basic assumption of it - that the rate of change is uniform across time and languages - has turned out to be false (as the mere existence of more conservative and more innovative languages - e.g. Icelandic vs. English - demonstrates). It is also not meant to establish new relationships but to assign time depths to ''established'' relationships (because what is counted are not 'similarities' but ''cognates'') - and fails at even that. The question whether all those languages are related or not remains open. While I think that the languages sometimes referred to as [[Eurasiatic]] - [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]], [[Uralo-Siberian languages|Uralo-Siberian]] and [[Altaic languages|Altaic]] - are too similar to each other to be unrelated (and Kartvelian might be distantly related to them, too), the relationship of this '[[Mitian]]' group to Afro-Asiatc or Dravidian seems doubtful to me. The question of the homeland becomes very difficult, and the languages are not particularly similar. Nevertheless, such hypotheses are a possible source of inspiration for conlangs. [[Category:Protolanguages]] Mitian 2018 56166 2010-09-20T19:06:01Z WeepingElf 43 '''Mitian''' is a hypothetic language family proposed by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]], consisting of [[Europic]], [[Uralo-Siberian languages|Uralo-Siberian]], Altaic and perhaps Kartvelian, though the latter case is doubtful. Possible further members are Sumerian and Etruscan-Lemnian, but these languages are only poorly known and much is still controversial about them. Mitian is thus a subfamily of [[Nostratic]]. The name is derived from the characteristic shapes of the 1st and 2nd person pronouns which are '''*mi''' and '''*ti''', respectively, or similar. ==Classification== Within Mitian, Europic, Uralo-Siberian and Altaic seem to form a closer group, for which many long-range comparatists use the term [[Eurasiatic]], while Kartvelian, if it belongs here at all, appears to form an early divergent branch. * '''Mitian''' :* ???Kartvelian :* [[Eurasiatic]] ::* [[Europic]] :::* Indo-European :::* possibly further languages ([[Hesperic]], [[Danubian]]) ::* Uralo-Siberian :::* Uralic-Yukaghir ::::* Uralic ::::* Yukaghir :::* Beringian ::::* Chuktoko-Kamchatkan ::::* Eskimo-Aleut ::* Altaic :::* Turkic :::* Mongolic :::* Tungusic [[Category:Historical linguistics]] Europic 2019 56151 2010-09-20T13:39:56Z WeepingElf 43 /* Classification */ '''Europic''' is a hypothetical language family proposed by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]. It consists of [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] and various smaller language groups of Europe which are all extinct and lost in history (in the real world; in the world of the [[League of Lost Languages]], some of them are still alive). Proto-Europic may have been spoken about 8,000 years ago in southeastern Europe, perhaps by the group of people known to archaeologists as the [[Wikipedia:Starčevo culture|Starčevo culture]]. From there, one branch of Europic spread northeastward into the Pontic Steppe and became [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]]. Another branch spread northwestward into Central Europe and became [[Hesperic]]. A third group may have stayed put and become the language of the [[Wikipedia:Vinča culture|Vinča culture]]. That language may have been the world's first ''written'' language, if the [[Wikipedia:Vinča symbols|Vinča symbols]] are indeed writing, but that is controversial. ==Classification== * Europic ** [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] ** [[Danubian]] *** Language of the [[Vinča culture]] *** [[Alpic]] (conlang by [[User:TaylorS|Taylor Selseth]]) ** [[Hesperic]] *** Unknown language of the "[[Old European languages|Old European hydronymy]]" *** [[Albic]] (conlang family by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]) ==Proto-Europic Phonology== The main feature that distinguishes Europic from the other branches of [[Eurasiatic]] is its vowel system, which included only three vowels: '''*a''', '''*i''' and '''*u''', of which '''*a''' was much more frequent than the others. This system is the result of a sound change, the ''Great Vowel Collapse'' (GVC), a merger of all Proto-Eurasiatic vowels ''except'' '''*i''' and '''*u''' into '''*a'''. Before the GVC, pre-Proto-Europic underwent another change in the vowel system: ''Resonant-Conditioned Lowering'' (RCL). Under this rule, high vowels followed by resonants were lowered. The lowered vowels then fell victim to the GVC. This explains the apparent lack of *CeiR- and *CeuR- roots in PIE. This three-vowel system is attested in the Old European hydronymy and can be reconstructed for pre-ablaut Indo-European. In PIE, '''*a''' became '''*e'''/'''*o'''/Ø, '''*i''' became '''*ei'''/'''*oi'''/'''*i''' and '''*u''' became '''*eu'''/'''*ou'''/'''*u'''. In West Europic, the Proto-Europic vowel system was preserved, as evidenced by the Old European river names. It apparently also remained intact in East Europic long enough to influence the Eastern (Indo-Iranian) subbranch of Indo-European in which PIE '''*a''', '''*e''' and '''*o''' all merged into '''*a''' - it appears as if Eastern IE had undergone the GVC ''twice''. The consonant inventory of Proto-Europic is essentially that of Proto-Indo-European as it is posited by the adherents of the glottalic theory, i.e. the (traditional) PIE voiced stops evolved from glottalized (ejective) stops. ==See also== * [[Nostratic]] * [[Mitian]] * [[Eurasiatic]] * [[Hesperic]] [[Category:Historical linguistics]] [[Category:LLL]] Old European languages 2020 53007 2010-04-10T19:06:33Z WeepingElf 43 '''Old European''' is a designation for the (mostly unknown) languages that were spoken in Europe prior to the spread of the [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] family which dominates the continent today. In this sense, [[Basque]] and the [[Wikipedia:Languages of the Caucasus|Caucasian languages]] are Old European languages (however, the languages spoken today are certainly not identical with the languages that were spoken before the spread of Indo-European - they certainly changed a lot over time). The term '''Old European''', however, is often used more narrowly with reference to the unknown languages of the first Neolithic farmers in central Europe, who appear to have immigrated from the east around the year 6000 BC. These Old European languages are not attested in writing (but see [[Wikipedia:Old European Script|Old European script]] for a set of undeciphered signs that were used in the easternmost parts of the Old European area, which may or may not have been a writing system, but are at any rate undeciphered). The only access to it we have are place names and especially [[Old European hydronymy|river names]] that are found all over central and western Europe, and possibly loanwords in the Indo-European languages now spoken there. The area across which these Old European river names occur largely coincides with the area where material remains of the central European Neolithic (the so-called [[Wikipedia:Linear Pottery culture|Linear Pottery culture]]) and its daughter cultures, such as the [[Wikipedia:Beaker culture|Beaker culture]], have been found. There are many theories about these languages. The German linguist Theo Vennemann assumes that most languages of Neolithic Europe were related to Basque, and claims to have found evidence for this in the [[Old European hydronymy]]. Most of his colleagues, however, remain unconvinced. [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] speculates that some, but by far not all of the extinct Old European languages belonged to a lost family which he calls "[[Hesperic]]" and assumes to be related to the [[Indo-European languages]]. If anything can be said about the lost Old European languages on the basis of what we find in the attested ones - Basque, the Caucasian languages and Etruscan -, we can say that the Old European were synthetic languages with rich inflectional morphology and diverse [[morphosyntactic alignment]]s (Basque and most Caucasian languages are ergative, Georgian split between accusative and active/stative, Etruscan is accusative). The Caucasian languages have very rich phoneme inventories and seems to always have had, but Basque and Etruscan have more moderate phoneme inventories, perhaps reflecting an old east-west cline. ==Old European conlangs== Naturally, this lost world has inspired some conlangers to come up with fictional re-creations of these languages. There are several conlangs which represent Old European languages. Some of these are: * [[Albic]] by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] * [[Hairo]] by Christian Thalmann * [[Maerik]] by [[User:Melroch|Benct Philip Jonsson]] * [[Thalassan]] by [[User:RHaden|Rob Haden]] * See also [[League of Lost Languages]] [[Category:Natlangs]] [[Category:LLL]] Uralo-Siberian languages 2021 47612 2009-07-23T13:40:59Z Tropylium 756 /* Sources */ cat:from WP '''Uralo-Siberian''' is a hypothetical [[language family]] consisting of the following language families: * Uralic * Yukaghir * Chukotko-Kamchatkan * Eskimo-Aleut ==History== Structural similarities between Uralic and Eskimo-Aleut languages were observed early. In 1746, the Danish theologian Marcus Wöldike compared Greenlandic to Hungarian. In 1818, Rasmus Rask considered Greenlandic to be related to the Uralic languages, and presented a list of lexical correspondences. (Rask also considered Uralic and Altaic to be related to each other.) In 1959, Knut Bergsland published the paper ''The Eskimo-Uralic Hypothesis'', in which he, like other authors before him, presented a number of grammatical similarities and a small number of lexical correspondences. In 1962, Morris Swadesh proposed a relationship between the Eskimo-Aleut and Chukotko-Kamchatkan language families. In 1998, Michael Fortescue put all the strings together in his book, ''Language Relations across Bering Strait''. ==Evidence== ===Phonology=== The consonant inventories of the reconstructed protolanguages of the four Uralo-Siberian families are very similar to each other. A common feature is that there are only voiceless and no voiced stops, while there is a set of voiced (but no voiceless) non-sibilant fricatives with the same places of articulation (labial, dental, palatal and velar; in Chukotko-Kamchatkan and Eskimo-Aleut, also uvular). There are also nasals in the same places of articulation. In addition, there are three sibilants, and liquids and semivowels. ===Morphology=== Apparently shared elements of Uralo-Siberian morphology include the following: {| | '''*-t''' || plural |- | '''*-k''' || dual |- | '''*m-''' || 1st person |- | '''*t-''' || 2nd person |- | '''*ka''' || interrogative pronoun |- | '''*-n''' || genitive case |} ===Lexicon=== Fortescue (1998) lists 95 lexical correspondence sets with reflexes in at least three of the four language families, and even more shared by two of the languages. Examples are '''*ap(p)a''' 'grandfather', '''*kað'a''' 'mountain' and many others. ==Sources== *Knut Bergsland (1959) The Eskimo-Uralic hypothesis.

Semitic languages use it more and more largerly, in fact it is considered as a single consonant. It is not easy to pronounce it, in English we can find some examples in the stop we make when we pronounce ''Bat'man''. The real glottal stop is a fast movement open/closed of the vocal cords, but for the speakers who do not know how to pronounce it we advise to pronounce it as a little stop during pronunciation. ===Phonology in IPA=== ====Consonants==== This is the consonant system in the IPA consonant table: {| {{prettytable}} |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 3em" | style="font-size: 90%;" | !

'''Fyr''' (''fire'') is usually pronounced /{{IPA|fə:r}}/, but it does not change its meaning if pronounced /{{IPA|fər}}/. Anyway long vowels tends to move the ''stress'' above themselves. ==Morphology== Nytal is an '''''isolating language'''''. It means that its particles (''substantives'', ''pronouns'', ''adjectives'', ''verbs'', etc...) '''never flect''' according to their quality or function. ===Substantives=== Nytal substantives '''''never''''' flect for ''genre'', ''number'' or ''cases''. They only can be accompanied by the ''pluralizing particle'' '''le''' which is placed ''before'' them * ''city'': '''syr''' * ''cities'': '''le syr''' There are '''no articles at''' all, neither ''definite'' articles nor ''indefinite'' ones. ===Adjectives=== Nytal adjectives '''''never''''' flect according to their substantive. They are placed always '''after''' their substantive. * ''the big city'': '''syr haron''' * ''the big cities'': '''le syr haron''' ====Adjectival comparison==== Nytal has two degrees of comparison: the ''comparative'' and the ''superlative'': * '''Comparative'''. Adjectives build their comparative by placing the particle '''''ty''''' ''before'' the adjective. The second term is expressed by particle '''ud'''. They do not usually use less-comparative. * '''Superlative'''. Adjectives build their superlative by placing the particle '''''irje''''' ''before'' the adjective. The second term can be expressed with the preposition '''yd''' (''of'') or '''okled''' (''between'', ''among'') ** ''she is the most beautiful woman of the entire city'': '''si ad’jo mec irje skon yd syr vsi''' ===Pronouns=== ====Personal pronouns==== Nytal has only three forms for personal pronouns: {| |- !<center>Person</center> !<center>Pronoun</center> |- |<center>''First person''</center> || <center>'''''ni'''''</center> |- |<center>''Second person''</center>|| <center>'''''ok'''''</center> |- |<center>''Third person''</center>|| <center>'''''si'''''</center> |- |} They '''''never''''' flect for ''genre'', ''number'' or ''cases''. They can only be accompanied by their pluralizing particle '''la''', which is placed ''after'' them. * ''I love'': '''ni a'ljek''' * ''we love'': '''ni la a'ljek''' * ''I love you'': '''ni a'ljek ok''' * ''you love me'': '''ok a'ljek ni''' The role played by the pronoun is decided by the ''position'' in the sentence word order, not as in English where there are different form like ''I'' / ''me''. If a personal pronoun is placed ''after a substantive'', it plays the role of a '''possessive adjective''': * ''my husband'': '''sik ni''' * ''their cities'': '''le syr si la''' It exists also a proper reflexive possessive pronoun, '''''su''''', which is used when the subject and the owner are the same, for all persons. * ''I love my wife'': '''ni a'ljek mec su''' In third person, if it is used the proper third person pronouns, it means that the owner is not the subject itself: * '''si a'ljek mec su''': ''He loves his own wife'' * '''si a'ljek mec si''': ''He loves his wife (of another man)''. ====Demonstrative pronouns and adjectives==== They can be used both as pronouns and adjectives. {| |- ! ! |- |<center>''This''</center> || <center>'''''tjel'''''</center> |- |<center>''That'' (<small>near to the listener</small>)</center>|| <center>'''''afris'''''</center> |- |<center>''That'' (<small>far from both speakers</small>)</center>|| <center>'''''ski'''''</center> |- |} When they are used as pronouns they can take the pluralizing particle '''la''' after themselves, when they are used as adjectives they follow all adjectives' rules. ====Relative pronoun==== There is only one indeclinable relative pronoun '''ki'''. * ''The cows you see belong to my husband'' (''the cows, which you see, are of my husband''): '''le desti, ki ok a'ljub, ad'jo yd sik ni''' ====Interrogative pronouns==== These are the interrogative pronouns; they are all indeclinable. {| |- ! ! |- |<center>''who''</center> || <center>'''''ejik'''''</center> |- |<center>''what''</center>|| <center>'''''ejek'''''</center> |- |<center>''which''</center>|| <center>'''''kjel'''''</center> |- |<center>''how much/many''</center>|| <center>'''''tyka'''''</center> |- |} ===Adverbs=== Nytal adverbs, which are derived from an adjective, are distinguished by the particle '''klo''' which is placed just ''before'' the adjective. They can be found many isolated adjectives, used as adverbs anyway. * ''finally'': '''klo blek''' ===Numbers=== ====Cardinal==== Nytal number system is a 10 base one: {| |- ! ! |- |<center>1</center> || <center>'''''is'''''</center> |- |<center>2</center>|| <center>'''''do'''''</center> |- |<center>3</center>|| <center>'''''vif'''''</center> |- |<center>4</center>|| <center>'''''ti'''''</center> |- |<center>5</center>|| <center>'''''so'''''</center> |- |<center>6</center>|| <center>'''''kha'''''</center> |- |<center>7</center>|| <center>'''''ejk'''''</center> |- |<center>8</center>|| <center>'''''tihr'''''</center> |- |<center>9</center>|| <center>'''''von'''''</center> |- |<center>10</center>|| <center>'''''dineh'''''</center> |- |} Numbers over 10 are constructed: * numbers x 10: add -'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>din'''. * numbers x 100: add -'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>odhi''' * numbers x 1000: add -'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>medih''' composed numbers are formed with '''a''' (and). Examples: * 25: '''do<nowiki>'</nowiki>din a so''' (''twenty and five'') * 456: '''ti<nowiki>'</nowiki>odhi a so<nowiki>'</nowiki>din a kha''' (''four hundert and fifty and six'') Each number has to be intended as an adjective but it can be placed before its substantive. ====Ordinal==== The ordinal numbers are formed by placing the particle ''tjux'' after all simple numbers: * ''first'': '''is tjux''' * ''fifteenth'': '''dineh a so tjux''' and they follow all adjectives' rules. * ''the fifth city'': '''syr so tjux''' ===Preposition=== {| |- ! ! |- |<center>''Of (genitive)''</center> || <center>'''''yd'''''</center> |- |<center>''To (dative)''</center>|| <center>'''''er'''''</center> |- |<center>''In (state)''</center>|| <center>'''''ju'''''</center> |- |<center>''In/to (motion)''</center>|| <center>'''''ka'''''</center> |- |<center>''From''</center>|| <center>'''''de'''''</center> |- |<center>''About''</center>|| <center>'''''ob''''' </center> |- |<center>''With''</center>|| <center>'''''vis'''''</center> |- |<center>''Without''</center>|| <center>'''''karim'''''</center> |- |<center>''Until''</center>|| <center>'''''tljuk'''''</center> |- |<center>''Near''</center>|| <center>'''''ojks'''''</center> |- |<center>''Between/among''</center>|| <center>'''''okled'''''</center> |- |} ===Verbs=== Nytal verbs do not decline as Indo-European verbs do according to number and tenses. They only take some particles which indicate the temporal position of the action. {| |- ! ! |- |<center>''Infinitive''</center> || <center>'''''-''''' (''zero'')</center> |- |<center>''Present''</center>|| <center>'''''a<nowiki>'</nowiki>-/ad<nowiki>'</nowiki>-'''''</center> |- |<center>''Past''</center>|| <center>'''''be<nowiki>'</nowiki>-/bed<nowiki>'</nowiki>-'''''</center> |- |<center>''Future''</center>|| <center>'''''fi<nowiki>'</nowiki>-/fid<nowiki>'</nowiki>-'''''</center> |- |<center>''Conditional''</center>|| <center>'''''bif<nowiki>'</nowiki>-'''''</center> |- |<center>''Imperative''</center>|| <center>'''''-''''' (''zero'')</center> |- |} * -[d] is added only before a vowel or a semivowel. As in English, Nytal verbs ''always require'' the presence of a '''subjects''', substantives and personal or demonstrative pronouns. To negate a verb you have to place the particle '''''ta''''' just ''before'' the verb. * ''I love you'': '''ni a'ljek ok''' * ''I do not love you'': '''ni ta a'ljek ok''' From the verb we can obtain an ''adjective'' with a ''passive meaning'' which corresponds to our ''past participle'', by placing ''-<nowiki>'</nowiki>lo'' after the verb * ''to see'': '''ljub''' * ''seen'': '''ljub'lo''' This is a special form because Nytal verbs '''''do not have a passive form'''''. Each verb has to be intended as ''transitive'' and ''intransitive'' if possible: With an object it must be translated it with the transitive form, without any object it must be considered as an intransitive verb. In English it is the same in the sentences: ''The boy broke the window'' (transitive) / ''The window broke'' (intransitive) * ''the man broke the window'': '''sik be'krijg eknje''' *''the window broke'': '''eknje be'krijg''' ====Infinitival form==== Nytal verbs have an infinitival form, that is what can be found in dictionaries. This form, however, can act as substantive, as an adjective, etc. Within a sentence we won't find an infinitival form, because it can be something other! Thus, with modal verbs as ''mbit'' (to can), ''blinj'' (to must, to have to), and others, Nytal uses another construction, typical of languages which do not have an infinitival form for their verbs, like Bulgarian or Romanian languages: Instead of constructions as ''I want to see'', the sentence is built in this way: ''I want that I see''. It would be as if in English we said: ''I want me to see''. Thus in Nytal the sentence is: * '''Ni ad'ehohi li ni a'ljub''', I [PRES]want that I [PRES]see The second verb agrees with the modal verb according to this rule: * The verb gets the present adfix if the action is ''contemporaneous'' to the first one. * The verb gets the past adfix if the action is ''prior'' the first one. * The verb gets the future adfix if the action is ''subsequent'' to the first one. * '''Ok la bed'ehohi li ok la ad'jole''', You[PLUR] [PAST]want that you[PLUR] [PRES]eat, ''you wanted to eat''. ===Derivational morphology=== Since all words in Nytal language could, in theory, play the rule of ''substantive'', ''adjective'', (pronoun) and ''verb'', the derivational morphology was almost nonexistent. Some traces of a derivational morphology existed, a very few processes of derivations: - the couple "''prefix'' '''me-''' + word + ''suffix'' '''-(j)er'''", added to a verb, create a new word with the leading meaning of "''one who makes the action''", equivalent to the English suffix ''-er''. The new word could be used as adjective or as verb too. * '''skit''', ''to write'' → '''''meskitjer''''', ''writer'' * '''xenoj''', ''to take care'' → '''''mexenojer''''', ''caretaker'' * '''finans''', ''debt, to be in debt'' → '''''mefinanser''''', ''debtor'' This prefix and this suffix were maybe born as independent particles, because of the isolating nature of the language, and only after the continuos usage they were felt as an added prefix and suffix. ==Syntax== ===Word order=== Nytal is a strictly '''''SVO''''' language, i.e. its components in the independent sentences are placed '''Subject''' - '''Verb''' - '''Object'''. This word order is respected in every kind of sentences, dependent and independent; only by this the words can play their exact role in the sentences, because no word has cases or changes according to its function as in Indo-European languages does: * '''ni a'ljek si''': ''I love her'' but if the pronouns' position changes, the sense of the sentences changes: '''si a'ljek ni''': ''She loves me''. There are only a few cases where the word order can change: - In the relative sentence we can find an '''''OSV''''' order, because the relative pronoun is the ''object'', ''accusative'': * ''the man which you see'': '''sik ki ok a'ljub''' - In direct questions we can find an '''''OSV''''' order, because the interrogative pronoun is the ''object'', ''accusative'': * ''Which city did you visit?'': '''kjel syr ok be'ljeuben?''' ====Positions of all words inside the sentences==== All the words inside the Nytal sentences are disposed in order to accord to strict word order rules and it also deals with particles, like pronouns, possessive pronouns, adjectives, ecc.. In this table there is an easy explanation of all rules: {| align="center" |- align="center" !Adverb!!Complements!!style="background-color:orange;"|Subject!!Adjective!!Possessive!!style="background-color:lime;"|Verb!!Adverb!!style="background-color:magenta"|Object!!Adjectives!!Possessive!!Complements |- align="center" |Nu||vis ni||style="background-color:#FFD482;" |babu||fols||ni||style="background-color:#83FF82;"|a'sakar||klo blek||style="background-color:#FF82FF;"|mesityeker||aln||ni la||fre kuku vsi |- align="center" |''Now''||''with me''||style="background-color:#FFD482;" |''father''||''good''||''my''||style="background-color:#83FF82;"|''buys''||''finally''||style="background-color:#FF82FF;"|''car''||''new''||''our''||''for family-all'' |} The tablets with colors refer to the most important parts of the sentence: ''Subject''-''Verb''-''Object'', the minimal constituents of a sentence (even if an intransitive verb ''does not own any object''). The other parts are optional, but they have to follow these space rules. ===Usage of words=== Nytal words can have more than an unique function: A ''substantive'' can be easily used as an ''adjective'' or a ''verb'': * ''love'': '''ljek''' → ''to love'' → ''relative to the love'' ** ''I love my wife, it's a great love'': '''ni a'ljek mec su, tjel ad'jo ljek haron''' * ''to see'': '''ljub''' → ''seeing, vision'' * ''beautiful'': '''skon''' → ''beauty'' → ''to get beautiful'' → ''to make beautiful'' ** ''I am beautiful'': '''ni ad'jo skon''' ** ''I got beautiful'': '''ni be'skon''' ** ''She will make her own house beautiful'': '''si fi'skon toj su''' * ''man, husband'': '''sik''' → ''human, masculine, male'' * ''to stop, to finish'': '''blek''' → ''end, termination'' → ''final'' So many words have different functions, which can be recognized because of their accompaining particles. ==Lexycon== * '''[[Nytal biblical texts]]''' * '''[[Nytal-English dictionary]]''' * '''[[States of the World (Nytal)|States of the World]]''' * '''[[Specific Nytal lexycon|Everyday lexycon]] [[Category:A priori conlangs]] [[Category:Nytal| ]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Nytal biblical texts 2026 46276 2009-06-22T13:42:09Z Bukkia 117 /* Bleys klinij'lo, The lost sheep */ Here there are some collected texts from the '''Holy Bible''', translated into Nytal.

So the Lord gave the city the name of Babel, because there the Lord mixed the language of the entire world and from there He dispersed them all over the world. ==Babu ni la, Lord's prayer== Babu ni la, ki ad’jo ju ojl Ni la a’šijnt noym Ok Nori sliknost Ok Ni la a’nut ehoj Ok Iknijt ju ojl, Iknijt sjep bajus vsi Ole tyahri er ni la ejs ni la A vlup er ni la le finans ni la Iknijt gek ni la a’vlup er le mefinanser ni la A ta nenijt ni la ka medoljem U vrij ni la de olim Amen * Trascription: ''Father-I[PLUR], that [PRES]be in sky'' ''I[PLUR] [PRES]make holy name-Thou'' ''Come[IMPER] kingdom-Thou'' ''I[PLUR] [PRES]make will-Thou'' ''So in sky, so over world all'' ''Give[IMPER] today to I[PLUR] bread-I[PLUR]'' ''And forgive[IMPER] to I[PLUR] [PLUR]debt-I[PLUR]'' ''So how I[PLUR] [PRES]forgive to [PLUR]debtor-I[PLUR]'' ''And not take[IMPER] I[PLUR] to temptation'' ''But make free[IMPER] I[PLUR] from evil'' ''Amen'' * Traslation: Our Father, who are in heaven We hallow Your name Your kingdom come We make Your will So in heaven, so all over the world Give us today our bread And forgive us our debts As we forgive our debtors And do not lead us to temptation But deliver us from evil Amen ==Ave Marija, Holy Mary== Ave Marija, vald vis foljsent Po ad’jo vis ok Si a’folepih ok okled le mec A folepih’lo ad’jo ohlse yd beet ok, Jesu Šijnt Marija, miri yd Po Orjein fre ni la, le mekoljomjer Nu a ju xomeš yd ahlen ni la Amen * Trascription: ''Ave Maria, full with grace'' ''Lord [PRES]be with you'' ''He [PRES]bless you among [PLUR]woman'' ''And bless[PAST PARTICIPLE] [PRES]be fruit of womb-you, Jesus'' ''Holy Maria, mother of God'' ''Pray for I[PLUR], [PLUR]sinner'' ''Now and in moment of death-I[PLUR]'' ''Amen'' * Traslation: Ave Maria, full of grace The Lord is with you He bless you among the women And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus Holy Maria, mother of God Pray for us sinners Now and in time of our death Amen ==Bleys klinj'lo, The lost sheep== From the Gospel for Mathew, Cfr 18,12-14 '''Bleys klinj’lo'''.

It told the woman: «Is it real that God said "You can eat no fruit from all trees of the garden"?». The woman answered to the serpent: «We can eat all fruits of the tree of the garden, but about the fruits of the tree which is in the middle of the garden God said "You must not must eat and touch it, otherwise you would die"» But the serpent told the woman: «You would not die! God knows that, if you eat it, your eyes would open and you will become equal as God, and would know the asset and the evil». Then the woman saw that the tree was good, beautiful for the eyes, and that she could aquire the wisdom; she took the fruit and ate it, afterwards she gave it to her man, who was with her, and he ate it. So their eyes opened and they saw they were naked; they weaved leaves of fig and covered themselves. Afterwards they heard the Lord God walking in the garden with the wind of the afternoon and the man with his woman hide from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called the man and told him: «Where are you?» He answered: «I hear your steps in the garden, I was afraid, because I am naked and I hid». And God: «How do you know you are naked? Did you maybe eat the fruits of the tree which I ordered that you did not eat?». The man answered: «The woman, who you placed near me, gave me the fruit of the tree and I ate it». The Lord God told the woman «What did you do?» The woman answered: «The serpent deceived me and I ate it». The Lord God told the serpent: :«Since you did this, :I curse you among all livestok :and among all wild animals :you will walk on your womb :and will eat dust :the woman will be your enemy :your progeny :and her progeny :she will tread on your head :and you will make attempt to her heel-bone» :He told the woman: :«I will multiplicate :your pains and your pregnancies :with pain you will birth your children :you will tend to go towards your man :but he will dominate you». :He told the man: «Since you listened to the voice of your woman, and ate the fruit of the tree, :about which I ordered you "Do not eat", I curse the earth because of you! :with pain you will take the food :for all days of your life :It will produce thorns and brambles for you :and you will eat the grass of the fields :you will eat the bread with the sweat of your face :until you will come back to the earth :because with that I shaped you :you are dust and you will be dust!». :The man called the woman Eva, because she was the mother of all men The Lord God made tunics for the man and the woman and he dressed them. The Lord God then said: «Watch, the man became like one of us, for his knowledge of the asset and the evil. Now he will not lay his own hand, will not take the fruits of the tree of life, will not eat and will not live for ever. The Lord God expelled him from the garden of Eden, so that he cultivated the earth, which God shaped him with He expelled the man and placed east from the garden of Eden the angels and the fire of strikings word, so that they could take care of way to the tree of life. ==Legend== In the trascription, to translate the meaningless particles, that have only grammatical functions, some abbreviations between brackets.

It’s an highly agglutinative language, and it‘s similar to ''Finnish'', ''Estonian'' and ''Hungarian'' languages, maybe related to the ''Uralic'' family, but it has many differences, that show the influence of ''Slavic'' and ''German'' languages. It is unknow if it is an isolated language with influences from both Uralic and Indo-European languages, or an Uralic language with a unknown substrate and influences from Indo-European languages. It can be written both with '''''Latin Alphabet''''' and with '''''Cyrillic alphabet'''''. ==Phonology== ===Vowel harmony=== The '''vowel harmony''' is typical phenomenon of non-Indo-european languages in Europe. The vowels of interchangeable endings change according to the last vowel in the last syllable of the word. The interchangeable vowels in the endings are: * '''''-e-''''': for a last '''front vowel''' in the world * '''''-a-''''': for a last '''central vowel''' in the world * '''''-o-''''': for a last '''back vowel''' in the world Examples: The plural endings are: ''-nes, -nas, -nos'' / ''-нес, -нас, -нос'' Lin (''man'') → Linnes / Лин (''man'') → Линнес<br> Tanõk (''sea'') → Tanõknos / Танõк

morphology, i.e, words are declined and take endings, but these endings have only one meaning, instead of the multiple meanings of an Indo-european desinence. Exemple: * Latin: '''Urbium''' (genitive plural ''of the cities''): root ''urb'' + desinence ''-ium'', the desinence has the meaning of both plural and genitive case. * Lišĕč: '''Gradanasal''' (genitive plural ''of the cities''): root ''grada'' + plural desinence ''-nas-'' + genitive desinence ''-al'' ===Substantives=== Substantives have ''no genre'', but they decline according to ''number'' ('''''singular''''', '''''plural''''' and '''''collective''''') and ''cases'' ('''''30 cases'''''): ====Number==== {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !bgcolor="#E0E0FF"|Number||Latin||Cyrillic |- |Singular||-||- |- |Plural||'''-nas/nes/nos'''||'''-нас/нес/нос''' |- |Collective||'''-ałij/ełij/ołij'''||'''-аљий/ељий/ољий''' |- |} The '''''collective number''''' means a ''defined group'' of objects or beings, while '''''plural number''''' indicates an ''undefined number'' of objects or things (both functions are covered by plural in Indo-european languages): The '''collective''' should be used: * With ''cardinal numbers'' * Without numbers to indicate “''a group of''” or with ''uncountable nouns'' to indicate “''a little of''”, “''a bit of''” ====Case==== The '''case''' indicates the role the word plays in the sentence, without prepositions.

The locative system of Lišĕč language is highly developed, with indication for '''interior''' (''inside''), '''surface''' (''on, above'') and '''adjacency''' (''near''), and with the four locative complements: ''statement in'', ''movement to'', ''movement from'' and ''movement across''. So, for example, the ''sublative case'' means a movement ''towards above'', or a ''movement over a surface''. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !bgcolor="#E0E0FF"|Case System |- |||<center>''interior''</center>||<center>''surface''</center>||<center>''adjacency''</center> |- |''statement in''||<center>'''inessive'''</center>||<center>'''superessive'''</center>||<center>'''adessive'''</center> |- |''movement to''||<center>'''illative'''</center>||<center>'''sublative'''</center>||<center>'''allative'''</center> |- |''movement from''||<center>'''elative'''</center>||<center>'''delative'''</center>||<center>'''ablative'''</center> |- |''movement across''||<center>'''interjective'''</center>||<center>'''transitive'''</center>||<center>'''translative'''</center> |- |} ===Adjectives=== Adjectives act like substantives, they take the same endings of '''case''' and '''number'''. Adjectives in attributive function are placed always '''''before''''' their substantives. Only ''past participles'' (which are adjectives) can be placed ''after'' the substantive. There is '''''no article''''' at all. ===Adverbs=== Adverbs derived from adjectives are built by adding to adjectives’ base form the adverbial ending: '''-õkša/õkše/õkšo''','''-õкша/õкше/õкшо''' ====Locative adverbs==== Lišĕč locative adverbs have a particular feature, which makes them different from the other languages‘ adverbs: '''''they decline'''''. They take the same ''locative endings'' of substantives, to indicate what kind of movement or statement they express, according to the locative system, explained in the table above. For example: '''Sinaan/Синаан''' has the unspecified meaning of ''there'', but its role can be specified by adding the locative endings: With the '''''elative''''' ending, '''Sinaankaňa/Синаанкања''', it specifies its meaning in ''from there inside'' With the '''''adessive''''' ending, '''Sinaanđyna/Синаанћына''', it specifies its meaning in ''there (statement) near''. And so the other locative adverbs decline. ===Pronouns=== ====Personal Pronouns==== {| |- !<center>Pronouns</center> !<center>Latin</center> !<center>Cyrillic</center> |- |<center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''kaj'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''кай'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> |- |<center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thou&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''le'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''ле'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> |- |<center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He/she/it&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''am'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''ам'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> |- |<center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We (exclusive)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''fi'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''фи'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> |- |<center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We (inclusive)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''fikaj'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''фикай'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> |- |<center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''lěni'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''лěни'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> |- |<center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''amini'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> || <center>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''амини'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center> |- |} Personal pronouns use the same endings substantives to decline. Personal pronouns in nominative '''are not needed''' before declined verbs, since they already show their person with desinences. Personal pronouns declined in '''genitive''' play the role of our '''''possessive adjectives/pronouns'''''. They are placed ''before'' the substantive but they are not adjectives and they ''do not decline'' (note: they are already declined in genitive). Other Uralic languages have particular personal desinence to express our possessive adjectives, and maybe Lišěč had but surely lost them.

The expressed action is not complete or it has some links with present time, or we talk about the time of last of the action itself. * The '''''Ancient Past tense''''' marks an action, which took place before an action expressed by the Aorist tense. * The '''''Anterior Past tense''''' marks an action, which took place before an action expressed by the Perfect Past tense or Imperfect Past tense. * The '''''Recent Future tense''''' marks an action, which will take place in a future not far from present time. * The '''''Far Future tense''''' marks an action, which will take place in a far future from present time. * The '''''Anterior Future tense''''' marks an action, which will take place before an action expressed by Recent Future tense or Far Future tense. There are some other verbal endings, which are the ''infinitival'' ending and ''participial'' endings: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !bgcolor="#E0E0FF"|Mood||Latin||Cyrillic |- |''Infinitive''||<center>'''-ajn/ejn/ojn'''</center>||<center>'''-айн/ейн/ойн'''</center> |- |''Present Participle''||<center>'''-ağanđ/eğenđ/oğonđ'''</center>||<center>'''-ађанћ/еђенћ/ођонћ'''</center> |- |''Past Participle''||<center>'''-at/et/ot'''</center>||<center>'''-ат/ет/от'''</center> |- |} * '''''Infinitive''''' is the form you find in dictionaries, and, together with accusative modal endings, it follows modal verbs. * The '''''Present Participle''''' is an adjectival endings, which form an adjective with the meaning ''one who does…'' ''that which does…'' in present form. * The '''''Past Participle''''' is an adjectival endings, which form an adjective with a ''passive meaning'' for transitive verbs, and simple ''past meaning'' for intransitive verbs. To negate a verb you may place the adverb '''ěłi/ěљи''' before the verb. ==Syntax== ===Verb "to have"=== Lišĕč language does not have a verb similar to English verb “to have”. This is a main feature also of all languages in Uralic family. To express possession you can use the construction: Owned thing or being in '''Nominative''' + '''Õłojn/Õљойн''' (''to be'') + ''Dative'' of the owner: * ''They have two children'' → '''Aminiem õłokostyn kägśi pëkaałij / Аминием õљокостын кäгзи пëкаљий''' ==Lexycon== :''See: [[Lišěč-English dictionary]]'' ===Useful expression=== * Üvëen Amüen / Ÿвёен Амÿен: ''Good morning'' * Üvëen Pĕinaan / Ÿвёен Пĕинаан: ''Good afternoon (day)'' * Üvëen Vičĕren / Ÿвёен Вичĕрен: ''Good evening'' * Üvëen Jõon / Ÿвёен Йõон: ''Good night'' * Üvëõške mënnat / Ÿвёõшке мённат: ''Welcome'' * Puaakalm lišĕčnaan / Пуаакалм лишĕчнаан: ''I speak Lišěč'' * Ĕłi puaakalm lišĕčnaan / Ĕљи пуаакалм лишĕчнаан: ''I don't speak Lišěč'' * Puaakatë anglaśnaan? / Пуаакатё англазнаан?: ''Do you speak English?'' * Jõgëan kelen puakaatë? / Йõгёан келен пуаакате?: ''Which language do you speak? ===Lord's prayer=== {| | :Fial Ipa, ktõr õłokotë tajväka :sanktakammë leel nimien :mënnajast leel küningrik :tĕdaekemmë leel vylen :śo tajväka, śo mälmake :đnes antajatë fiam đnesmasen lĕjpäen :õnt fergepejetë fial velkĕnesen :śo fi fergepekemmë fial velketelnesem :õnt ĕłi oğiatojotë ferśukedenë :õnt svobõdojotë fian pakadaţë :Amen || :Фиал Ипа, ктõр õљокотё тайвäка :санктакаммё леел нимиен :мённайаст леел кÿнингрик :тĕдаекеммё леел вылен :зо тайвäка, зо мäлмаке :ћнес антайатё фиам ћнесмасен лĕйпäен :õнт фергепейетё фиал велкĕнесен :зо фи фергепекеммё фиал велкетелнесем :õнт ĕљи ођиатойотё ферзукеденё :õнт свобõдойотё фиан пакадаθё :Амен |} ===Babel text=== :Allë mälma puaasast ögšien kelen õnt śĕlpnesen sänanesen :Koške mënnasastyn vasţõkšonë, linnes sapuaasastyn ebensöğe Šinĕarsöğe õnt pyśattuaasastyn sinaansöğe. :Õnt säňoesestyn: "Mënnajatëni, valmystaajamäl cigëlnese õnt kĕjttaejemäl aminian tulikom".

'''Filisi no i yénëanna istankómëa,''' '''teldenvi ya ropavi elkaniri.''' ''Behold the shaded western hills'' ''where the winter snows are falling.'' ''I come to the new-year's feast,'' ''In silence, under star-host watch.'' =='''Case Usage'''== Silindion nouns can be inflected in 14 cases. The cases are nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, locative, allative, comitative, instrumental, copulative, essive, topical, adjectival. The last case, the benefactive, is an extension of the dative, and is not in use in the modern language, except for in some grammatical tracts. In older forms of the language, it is widespread in the usage given below. The topical is also called relative, since it relates one noun to another, as explained below. *Nominative indicates the subject of a verb. It is also used adpositionally, as in <'''Nanthalonis, i nista'''> "Nanthalonis, the king". *Accusative indicates the object of a verb. It also indicates motion through a place or time, and is used with prepositions such as ‹'''ono'''› "through", ‹'''pero'''› "across" or ‹'''erë'''› "during". *Genitive indicates the possessor. It is also used with various prepositions, such as ‹'''ess'''› "inside of" or ‹'''omë'''› "because of". It is also used as the object of a few verbs, namely <'''anëallo'''> "to promise", which is intransitive in High Silindion. *Dative indicates the indirect object and the person or thing for which an action is done. The last usage is called the benefactive use, and in Old, Middle and some High Silindion texts, is indicated by an extra ‹-r› to the dative ending. An example of this is, <'''nistanu'''> "to the king" (dative) => <'''nistanur'''> "for the king" (benefactive). *Ablative indicates separation, and is mostly used to translate 'from'. It is used with prepositions such as ‹'''ka'''› "away from" or ‹'''eis'''› "from out, out of". It is also used as the object of a few verbs, namely <'''moniello'''> "to hear", which is intransitive in High Silindion. In comparative constructions it introduces the standard. An example of this usage is the following, <'''ëan i nari më pantio nattolim'''> "this bird is smaller than the other". The word <'''nattolim'''>, indicating meaning "than the other". *Locative indicates place. It is used with prepositions such as ‹'''o'''› "in", ‹'''a'''› "at", ‹'''emë'''› "on", ‹'''eiva[n]'''› "within", ‹'''ina'''› "near" and many others. Metaphorically it also indicates time, and thus is used with prepositions like ‹nor› "before". It is also used, with the preposition <'''ompo'''> "over", to indicate the object of the verb <'''línyello'''> "to play an instrument". An example of this usage is, <'''lir empindo ompo i yalmavi'''> "the cantor plays upon a harp". *Allative indicates motion towards a place. It is used with prepositions like ‹'''noro'''› 'towards' or ‹'''noss'''› "into". It is also used as the animate agent in passive sentences. *Comitative means 'together with'. If two or more nouns are animate, they may be connected by adding the comitative suffix to the last noun. An example of this usage is, <'''pëa mëamma'''> "a father and a mother". Occasionally this usage is seen with inanimate nouns as well. *Instrumental indicates the instrument with which something is done, or how something is done. Thus it means both 'using X' and 'by doing X'. It also indicates what something is made out of. It is not often used with animate nouns. *Copulative is attached to a noun or interrogative pronoun to form sentences meaning 'X = Y'. An example of this is, <'''i nar lavando'''> "the man is a hunter". It is only used to link two [pro]nouns together, not a [pro]noun with an adjective. *Essive is attached to a predicate nominative or interrogative pronoun to form sentences meaning 'It = Y'. That is, when the predicate nominative is the only element present. It is mostly used with a definite predicate, although indefinite predicates may occur as well. An example of this is, <'''kirmeihya'''> "it is my ship" (<- <'''kirma'''> "ship"). The essive also means 'as' or 'when', such as in the following sentence, <'''nópië, asui Eril nëa némpian niva'''> "as a poet, Eril created many beautiful poems" (<- <'''nopio'''> "poet"). Finally, in Poetic High Silindion only, the essive may be used to derive an adjective from a noun. However, in Low Silindion this is done with the adjectival. In some poems, the essive seems to have the same meaning as the topical, depending on translation. *Relative/Topical indicates the topic of the sentence. In this sense, it can be translated as 'as for X' or 'about X'. Most of the time however, the relative is used to derive an adjective meaning 'X-like', such as the word ‹'''rilitma'''› "jewel-like". The topical is also used to mean 'as X', after an equative adjective. Another use of the relative is to mean 'but' after the conjunction ‹'''në'''› "and". However, this use is restricted to sentences of the form 'X, but as for Y'. An example of this is, <'''ihyotma, ë niva, në tahyotma, ië nukil'''> "today, (it) is beautiful, but (as for) yesterday, (it) was cloudy" (<- <'''tahyón'''> "yesterday"). *Adjectival derives an adjective from a noun. Mostly the meaning is transparent, such as in the following examples, <'''vierya émëa'''> "forest paths, paths of the forest" (<- <'''ema'''> "forest"), <'''nerendo núkëa'''> "wilderness dweller, dweller in the wilderness" (<- <'''nuko'''> "wilderness"). However, sometimes the meaning is not that obvious, such as in the following examples, <'''sílnëa'''> "silver" (<- <'''silni'''> "star"), <'''ílië'''> "holy" (<- <'''ilë'''> "god"). =='''Personal Pronouns'''== Personal pronouns have multiple stem forms, for differing usages. The first stem form is the nominative, a bare stem form which is not used in derivation. The second is the oblique stem, to which unique pronominal case endings can be added to create a paradigm. Then there are the two enclitic stems; one oblique and one possessive. These are non-derivational and are suffixed at the end of a fully inflected verb, noun or prepositional form. Lastly, there are free possessives, which are also non derivational, they tend to precede an associated noun. ==='''Nominative Pronouns'''=== {| border = 1 ! '''Person''' ! '''Singular''' ! '''Plural''' |- | 1st Person | '''si''' | '''hyan''' |- | 2nd Person | '''lë''' | '''nassa''' |- | 3rd Person epicene | '''ein''' | '''anto''' |- | 3rd Person masculine | '''eino''' | '''ento''' |- | 3rd Person feminine | '''éinië''' | '''éntië''' |- | 3rd Person neuter | '''ess''' | '''enta[ssë]''' |} ===='''Epicene pronouns'''==== These are used when a specific gender is not needed or when the speaker wishes to conceal the gender. <'''enta'''> seems to be a more common variant of <'''entassë'''>, which is a High Silindion form. ===='''Gendered Pronouns'''==== When referring to a limited number of words, such as <'''larë'''> "moon", gendered pronouns are used, mostly in poetic situations. The appropriate pronoun for <'''larë'''> is <'''éinië'''>. ===='''Variants and Other Forms'''==== There are also several other forms, which are less common: * '''hyanna''' "all of us" (inclusive 1pl) * '''tai''' "both of them" (dual 3pl) ==='''Oblique Pronouns'''=== The following are the oblique pronominal stems: {| border = 1 ! '''Person''' ! '''Singular''' ! '''Plural''' |- | 1st Person | '''siT''' | '''[hy]aT/[hy]an''' |- | 2nd Person | '''liT''' | '''anaT''' |- | 3rd Person epicene | '''o''' | '''tei''' |- | 3rd Person masculine | '''o''' | '''tei''' |- | 3rd Person feminine | '''ie''' | '''tei''' |- | 3rd Person neuter | '''o''' | '''tei''' |} ===='''Pronouns with T-stems'''==== All those pronouns with stems ending in _T_ are changeable, and can appear as <'''sit, lit, at, hyat'''>, <'''siss, liss, ass, hyass'''> or <'''si, li, a, hya'''>. ===='''Variation in 1st Person Plural'''==== The variation in the first person plural is due to both stylistic and dialectic differences. Those forms ending in _T_ are northern dialectal forms. Those forms beginning in _hy_ are Low Silindion (i.e. colloquial or non-courtly/scholarly). ===='''Oblique Stem + Case Suffixes'''==== {| border = 1 ! '''Person''' ! '''Acc. -ti/-ssi''' ! '''Dat. -ni''' ! '''Abl. -lim''' ! '''Rel. -tma''' ! '''All. -nna''' ! '''Loc. -vi''' ! '''Inst. -i''' ! '''Comm. -mma''' !

They are indeclinable and, except for the 1st person plural, have only one form per person and number. {| border = 1 ! '''Person''' ! '''Singular''' ! '''Plural''' |- | 1st Person | '''-sis''' | '''-hyass/syass, -na''' |- | 2nd Person | '''-li''' | '''-nass''' |- | 3rd Person masculine/neuter | '''-o''' | '''-ta/-ssa''' |- | 3rd Person feminine | '''-ië''' | '''-ta/-ssa''' |} ===='''Variation in 1st Person Plural'''==== The form <'''-hyass/-syass'''> is used with third person singular verb forms. The form <'''-syass'''> takes the place of the third person singular present ending <'''-n/r'''>. The form <'''-hyass'''> is used in all other tenses. The form <'''-na'''> is used with all other persons and with prepositions. ===='''Variation in 3rd Person Pronouns'''==== The third person plural form <'''-ssa'''> is used after vowels. The third person singular forms <'''-o, -ië'''> assimilate to preceding vowels, according to the standard assimilation rules. ===='''Double Enclitic Pronouns'''==== Two enclitic pronouns may be found on the same word. If this is the case, the first indicates the indirect object: 1) {| border = 1 |- | '''nésyasso.''' |- | '''ne-''' | '''-n-''' | '''-syass''' | '''-o''' |- | give | 3rd person singular subject | 1st person plural | 3rd person singular |- |} '''He gives it to us.''' ===='''Possession with Enclitic Pronouns'''==== Enclitic pronouns may also be attached to the noun + copulative case/enclitic complex to indicate possession: 2) {| border = 1 |- | '''lankalli.''' |- | '''lanka-''' | '''-r-''' | '''-li''' |- | horse | copulative | to you |- |} '''You have a horse.''' ===='''Stylistic Repositioning of Enclitics'''==== In poetry only (and very exceptionally indeed) these enclitic pronouns can be repositioned. That is, they can become proclitics that can attach to a wider range of words, such as nouns and adjectives as well. In this capacity, the normally forms are: '''sis, li, o, ye, na, nass, ta'''. 3) {| border = 1 |- | '''Nan''' | '''ka''' | '''salim''' | '''na''' | '''rómpëa.''' |- | Light | from | EVIL-ablative | us | PROTECT-adjectival.gerund |} '''A light which protects us from evil.''' ==='''Possessive Pronouns'''=== Possessive pronouns have two functions. Either they represent the genitive of the personal pronouns (i.e. 'mine', 'yours', etc.) or they are used to indicate possession (i.e. 'my, your', etc.). These two uses are fairly distinct, as the second is usually used in poetry or High Silindion. The following are the forms of these pronouns: {| border = 1 ! '''Person''' ! '''Singular''' ! '''Plural''' |- | 1st Person | '''ehya''' | '''anya''' |- | 2nd Person | '''elya''' | '''anatya''' |- | 3rd Person epicene | '''eya''' | '''taya''' |- | 3rd Person masculine | '''enya''' | '''taya''' |- | 3rd Person feminine | '''enyë''' | '''taya''' |- | 3rd Person neuter | '''enya''' | '''taya''' |} ==='''Enclitic Possessive Pronouns'''=== Enclitic Possessive Pronouns are attached to nouns (after all case endings) to indicate possession. They are indeclinable and have only phonological not grammatical variants. The following table gives the forms of these pronouns: {| border = 1 ! '''Person''' ! '''Singular''' ! '''Plural''' |- | 1st Person | '''-hya/sya''' | '''-nya''' |- | 2nd Person | '''-lya''' | '''-natya''' |- | 3rd Person masculine/neuter | '''-nya''' | '''-tëa/-ssëa''' |- |3rd Person epicene |'''-ëa''' |'''-tëa/-ssëa''' |- | 3rd Person feminine | '''-nyë''' | '''-tëa/-ssëa''' |} ===='''1st Person Singular Possessive'''==== The first person form <'''-sya'''> is attached to a final consonant. This final consonant may sometimes be the original final consonant of the stem, which has, in other cases, been either lost or altered. This usually only happens in High Silindion; Low Silindion preferring to attach the suffix to the synchronic ending of the noun : 1) {| border = 1 |- | '''velesya''' |- | '''veleT-''' | '''-sya''' |- | knot | 1st person singular possessive |- |} "My knot" (High Silindion for <'''vélteihya'''> from <'''veltë'''>. ===='''3rd Person Plural Possessive'''==== The third person form <'''-tëa'''> attaches to a consonant. Just like <'''-sya'''>, it is used, in High Silindion to attach to consonants which were originally present but have been altered diachronically. 2) {| border = 1 |- | '''ranátëa''' |- | '''ranaD-''' | '''-tëa''' |- | property | 3rd person plural possessive |- |} "Their property" (High Silindion for <'''ranássëa'''> from <'''rana'''>. ---- ---- =='''Verbs'''== A) Finite Verbs are conjugated for (present, imperfect, past, future), mood (indicative, subjunctive, optative, imperative), voice (passive, active, impersonal) and number (singular, plural). Present and past tenses can be either '''thematic''' or '''athematic'''. Thematic tenses have suffixes beginning in a vowel, athematic tenses have suffixes beginning in a consonant. B) Infinite verbs consist of an infinitive, gerunds and participles, as well as various verbal adjectives and sometimes a verbal noun. The last two categories are not normally grammaticalised, but depend on the lexical root itself, that is, they are not part of the verbal paradigm. C) A verbal paradigm is arranged into '''stem classes''' and '''principle parts'''. Both of these categories help in classifying and conjugating the verb correctly. D) The are five main stem classes: vowel stems, regular consonant stems, changeable consonant stems, semi-vowel stems, and compound stems. There is also an irregular group, which consist of verbs which add _l_ or _n_ to a vowel. E) From the seven principle parts, one can make the entire verbal paradigm, according to this schema: {| border = 1 |- |'''1st Principle Part''' |'''2nd Principle Part''' |'''3rd Principle Part''' |'''4th Principle Part''' |'''5th Principle Part''' |'''6th Principle Part''' |'''7th Principle Part''' |- |infinitive |nominal, conjunctive, abessive, adjectival, necessitive gerund, impersonal |passive, passive participle |present |past |imperfect, subjunctives, anterior-gerund, imperative-sg., present participle |imperative-pl. |} Certain verbs deviate from this pattern and will be mentioned in the appropriate section below. Furthermore, some verbs have "irregular" principle parts, that is, deviations that do not fall into the normal range of variant patterns. The following shall serve as examples: *The verbs <'''askello'''> "to shake hands" and <'''terskello'''> "to hammer" have ''i-stems'', <'''aski-'''> and <'''terski-'''>, despite the lack of _i_ in the infinitive (1st principle part). The verb <'''niniello'''> "to desire", has an irregular past participle (3rd principle part): '''nirë'''. The verbs <'''surollo'''> "to rustle", <'''piello'''> "to touch", <'''tiello'''> "to take", have irregular past tenses (5th principle part): '''asulti''', '''aphiksi''', '''istë''', respectively. The verbs '''antandiello'''> "dedicate", <'''falyallo'''> "awaken" have irregular gerunds (2nd principle part): '''antana''', '''falina''', respectively. ==='''Verbal Stem Classes'''=== Verbs are classified according the last phonological element in the word, be it semi-vowel, consonant, or vowel. This is termed the '''stem-sound'''. Usually, despite other changes in the word morphologically, the stem-sound stays constant. However, there are three cases in which this is not the case: *A certain class of consonant stems have at most four different stem sounds. These are termed the '''changeable''' stems. *A certain class of vowel stems whose 3rd, 5th and 6th principle parts add either _l_ or _n_. These termed are termed the '''augmented''' stems. *Regular morphophonemic changes may affect the stem, such as in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 7th principle part of some verbs as well as in athematic verbs (of various tenses). These are completely predictable, and involve processes like vowel contraction, assimilation and metathesis. These changes are not the same as those that occur in changeable consonant stems which are fairly irregular. ===='''Vowel Stems'''==== Verbs with stems ending in a vowel may end in the following vowels or vowel/consonant combinations: '''a,ya,o,ëo,u,i,ē,e'''. ====='''A-stems'''===== Those stems ending in <'''a'''> and <'''ya'''> are not formally distinct from each other except in the first principle part. ====='''E-stems'''===== Those ending in <'''ē'''> are distinct from those ending in <'''e'''> throughout their conjugation, except in some derivatives of the 6th principle part, i.e., the imperative singular, the present participle, the present and past subjunctive and the anterior gerund. ====='''O-stems'''===== Those stems in <'''o'''> differ from those in <'''ëo'''> only due to the presence of an _e_ in ''ëo-verbs'', which becomes _i_ in the subjunctives, optative/future and past (where the past tense is an ''ë-past''). ===='''Consonant Stems'''==== There are four types of consonant stems: regular, changeable, semi-vowel, and compound stems. ====='''Regular Stems'''===== The regular stems are: '''t,p,k,l,r,n,m,ng-stems'''. ====='''Changeable Stems'''===== The changeable stems are: '''T,D/L,P,B,K,G,Gw,s'''. Note that they are written with a capital letter (save for ''s-stems''). They have at most four different stems: ''pre-constonant'', ''pre-vowel'', ''pre-y'' and ''other''. Examples of Changeable Consonant stems are the following: * <'''peT-'''> "to eat": Pre-Consonant: ''pet'' Pre-Vowel: ''pess'' * <'''laD-'''> "to steal": Pre-Consonant: ''lad'' Pre-Vowel: ''lar'' Pre-y: ''lan'' * <'''roL-'''> "to defend": Pre-Consonant: ''rod'' Pre-vowel: ''rol'' * <'''neP-'''> "to sing": Pre-consonant: ''nep'' Pre-vowel: ''neph'' * <'''reB-'''> "to row": Pre-consonant: ''reb'' Pre-vowel: ''rev'' Pre-y: ''rem'' Other: ''rep'' * <'''reK-'''> "to reach": Pre-consonant: ''rek'' Pre-vowel: ''re'' * <'''faG-'''> "to spit": Pre-consonant: ''fag'' Pre-vowel: ''fa'' * <'''ruGw-'''> "to follow": Pre-consonant; ''rug'' Pre-vowel: ''ruv'' Other: ''ru'' * <'''pos-'''> "to heal": Pre-Consonant: ''por'' Pre-vowel: ''pos'' Pre-y: ''poh'' ====='''Semi-Vowel Stems'''===== The semi-vowel stems are: '''(y),(w),y,w'''. ====='''Compound Stems'''===== The compound stems are: '''st,nt,nd,ld,nn,rn,mp,mm,sk'''. ===='''Augment Stems'''==== This is a small class of verbs which have a basic stem in a vowel. However, in certain principle parts, this vowel can be augmented by either an _l_ or an _n_. ====='''Use of Augment in Augment Stems'''===== The augment occurs in the 3rd principle part and derivatives of the 6th principle part. Namely, it occurs in the anterior gerund, the subjunctive, the optative/future, and sometimes in the imperfect and present participle (according to stylistic and dialectal variation). Certain verbs also have the augment in the 5th principle part. Furthermore, they are distinguished from all other groups of verbs in the 1st principle part, which has the ending <'''-llë'''> rather than <'''-llo'''>. The verbs in this group are: * <'''ya-'''> "to go": ''yan'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''ne-'''> "to give": ''nel'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''u-'''> "to gleam": ''ul'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''ni-'''> "to negate": ''nin'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''si-'''> "to shine": ''sil'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''onëa-'''> "to disappear": ''onëan'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''këa-'''> "to leave": ''këan'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''faya-'''> "to extinguish": ''fayan'' (3rd, 5th 6th) * <'''hya-'''> "to age": ''hyan'' (3rd, 5th, 6th) * <'''se-'''> "to clasp": ''sen'' (only in 5th, otherwise ''e-stem''.) * <'''ra-'''> "to hold": ''ran'' (only in 3rd, otherwise ''a-stem''.) * <'''se-'''> "to seem": (only 1st <'''sellë'''>, otherwise ''e-stem''.) ==='''Infinitives'''=== In Silindion, there is one main inifinitive, although in certain registers there can be up to four infinitives: '''present, present 2, future, perfect'''. The present infinitive is the first principle part. All other infinitives are formed from 6th principle part. ---- ---- ===='''Present [First Infinitive]'''==== The present or first infinitive formed in 8 different ways. The choice between the eight types is conditioned by factors such as verbal stem-type, stress pattern, vowel harmony, register and derivation. The eight suffixes are: '''''-iello, -eallo, -yello, -yallo, -ello, -ollo, -llo, -lle'''''. The can be divided into 4 groups for descriptive purposes. Group A: thematic suffixes: '''''-iello, -eallo'''''; Group B athematic y-suffixes: '''''-yello, -yallo'''''; Group C athematic vowel-suffixes: '''''-ello, -ollo''''', Group D: simple suffixe: '''''-llo, -lle'''''. ---- ====='''Group A suffixes'''===== These suffixes are found in many types of verb. They are termed 'thematic' because they are formed by combining a vowel -e- with the athematic y-suffixes, which is then contracted in various ways. Thus, ''-e-yello'' becomes '''''-iello''''' and ''-e-yallo'' becomes '''''-eallo'''''. The suffix '''''-iello''''' is rather common, '''''-eallo''''' is considerably less so. ======'''-IELLO'''====== The suffix '''''-iello''''' is found with the following stem types: ''t-stems'', ''k-stems'', ''r-stem'', ''l-stems'', ''n-stems'', ''w-stems'', ''nd-stems'', ''nt-stems'', ''nn-stems'', ''rn-stems'', ''ng-stems'', ''mp-stems'', ''ld-stems'', ''T-stems'', ''D/L-stems'', ''P-stems'', ''B-stems'', ''Gw-stems''. It is the default suffix for stems whose root is unstressed (i.e. with stress on the ending). It is also the default for non-derived T and n stems (accounting for a small percentage of primary verbs, unlike '''inchoative ''yaT-verbs''''' and '''denominal ''n-verbs'''''). In contast, it is the default for derived ''r-stems'' ending in the stativizing suffix '''''-ár'''''. It also seems to be the preferred ending for ''P-stems'' (even if the root is stressed). The above are the main tendencies in the usage of this suffix. It is likely that no hard and fast rules can be made. There are a few roots that take this suffix that do not conform to any of the above generalities: '''kusiello''' from <'''nkus-'''> 'lose' (''s-stem''), '''ernóriello''' from <'''ernór-'''> 'be located in, settle' (stressed ''r-stem'') and several others. '''Changeable Stems:''' For changeable stems, their pre-vowel form is always used before this suffix. '''Examples of ''-iello''''' *<'''fat-'''> 'do' -> '''fatiello''' *<'''vuk-'''> 'spin' -> '''vukiello''' *<'''lor-'''> 'open' -> '''loriello''' *<'''thel-'''> 'generate' -> '''theliello''' *<'''ren-'''> 'move slowly' -> '''reniello''' *<'''diw-'''> 'be powerful' -> '''diviello''' *<'''fingand-'''> 'go swimming' -> '''fingandiello''' *<'''sint-'''> 'sew' -> '''sintiello''' *<'''sonn-'''> 'shake' (tr.) -> '''sonniello''' *<'''leurn-'''> 'clean' -> '''leurniello''' *<'''ling-'''> 'ring' -> '''lingiello''' *<'''namp-'''> 'hammer' -> '''nampiello''' *<'''mald-'''> 'move' (tr.) -> '''maldiello''' *<'''aT-'''> 'nurture' -> '''assiello''' *<'''siD-'''> 'recline' -> '''siriello''' *<'''sóP-'''> 'sleep' -> '''sóphiello''' *<'''leB-'''> 'laugh' -> '''leviello''' *<'''ruGw-'''> 'follow' -> '''ruviello''' *<'''namár-'''> 'be named' -> '''namáriello''' ======'''-EALLO'''====== The suffix '''''-eallo''''' is found in a small group verbs having an unstressed '''-a-''' in the first syllable that end in nasals, l, r, rr, nd, and T. There are four verbs which do not follow this tendency: <'''mál-'''> 'prosper' (stressed '''-a-'''), <'''mén-'''> 'rise' ('''-e-'''), <'''ilmen-'''> 'raise' ('''-e-'''), <'''nen-'''> 'despair' ('''-e-'''). '''Examples of ''-eallo''''' *<'''ilkam-'''> 'quieten' -> '''ilkameallo''' *<'''kan-'''> 'surprise' -> '''kaneallo''' *<'''ilpar-'''> 'fill' -> '''ilpareallo''' *<'''harr-'''> 'meet for the first time' -> '''harreallo''' *<'''mond-'''> 'drag' -> '''mondeallo''' *<'''paT-'''> 'diminish, wane' -> '''passeallo''' ---- ====='''Group B Suffixes'''===== These suffixes are termed athematic y-suffixes', because they are formed by added '''ye/ya''' directly to the infinitival ending '''-llo''', resulting in '''''-yello, -yallo'''''. The suffix '''''-yello''''' is very common, while '''''-yallo''''' is considerably less so. ======'''-YELLO'''====== The suffix '''''-yello''''' is used with vowel stems, and the following consonant stems: ''t-stems'', ''k-stems'', ''r-stems'' (rare), ''l-stems'', ''n-stems'', ''y-stems'', ''w-stems'', ''ng-stems'', ''st-stems'', ''T-stems'', ''D-stems'', ''B-stems'', ''K-stems'', ''G-stems'', ''s-stems'', and the semi-vowel stems ending in (y) and (w). A verb which take -yello but does not come from any of the above stems in <'''sérn-'''> '''be ready'''. This ending is the default in stems having a stressed vowel (except for those stem types mentioned above). Because adding this suffix to a consonant stem results in a cluster, various phonological rules operate in order to reduce or modify the cluster. Also, all vowel stems exhibit diphthong reduction and other attendant changes. '''Consonant Stems:''' The following consonant stems exhibit some phonological changes: ''y-stems'': These stems lose their _y_ before the suffix. Thus there is '''noyello''' from <'''noy-'''> 'consecrate'. ''w-stems'': These stems make a distinction between HS and LS forms. In HS, the ''w'' of the stem is lost in stems with the vowel _u_. Thus, there is '''nuyello''' from <'''nuw-'''> 'tune'. The ''w'' is also lost in stems ending in _aw_, after rounding the _a_ to an _o_. Thus, there is '''doyello''' from <'''daw-'''> 'roar. This is true for both HS and LS. In LS, all other stem types, change the stem final consonant to _m_. Thus, we have '''numyello''' from <'''nuw-'''>, '''timyello''' from <'''tiw-'''> 'use, shape' (compare HS '''tiuyello'''). ''ng-stems'': These stems change their final consonant to _n_ before the suffix. Thus there is '''fínyello''' from <'''fíng-'''> 'swim'. ''st-stems'': These stems lose the final _t_ before the suffix. Thus there is '''lisyello''' from <'''list-'''> 'think'. ''(w)-stems'' and ''(y)-stems'' These stems lose their semi-vowels. In this respect, ''(w)-stems'' behave exactly like ''w-stems''. However, ''(y)-stems'' behave differently. Since all ''(y)-stems'' end in _ay_, these behave like ''a-stems'' in the infinitive. Thus, for example, we have '''persiello''' from <'''persa(y)-'''> 'encompass, include'. The changeable stems ending in ''T'', ''D'', ''B'', and ''S'' end in their pre-y form, if they have one. Otherwise, they end in their pre-consonant form. The changeable stems ending in ''G'' and ''K'' end in their pre-vowel form. '''Vowel Stems:''' The following changes happen to vowel-stems. The final vowel of vowel-stems combines with the suffix to produce '''''-iello''''' (equivalent to the thematic suffix above). Because stems ending in vowels usually take athematic endings in other forms, it is preferable to view their infinitives as being athematic as well - even though the forms would be the same if their infinitive were thematic. For _ya_ stems, the combined form ''-yiello'' is further reduced to '''''-iello'''''. Thus we have '''kaniello''' from <'''kanya-'''>. '''Examples of ''-yello'' * <'''huila-'''> 'rain' -> '''huiliello''' * <'''malya-'''> 'move' (intr) -> '''maliello''' * <'''nanke-'''> 'uncover, discover' -> '''nankiello''' * <'''lē-'''> 'show, point out' -> '''liello''' * <'''sari-'''> 'farm' -> '''sariello''' * <'''lissu-'''> 'live' -> '''lissiello''' * <'''néit-'''> 'increase' -> '''néityello''' * <'''nek-'''> 'hurt, cause pain' -> '''nekyello''' * <'''sëur-'''> 'get torn, ripped, cut' -> '''sëuryello''' * <'''vel-'''> 'tie' -> '''velyello''' * <'''nalpín-'''> 'play a piano' -> '''nalpínyello''' * <'''náy-'''> 'be permitted' -> '''náyello''' * <'''mew-'''> 'gleam' -> '''meuyello/memyello''' * <'''fíng-'''> 'swim' -> '''fínyello''' * <'''mist-'''> 'sit' -> '''misyello''' * <'''iT-'''> 'poke, prick' -> '''ityello''' * <'''saD-'''> 'cultivate' -> '''sanyello''' * <'''reB-'''> 'row' -> '''remyello''' * <'''seK-'''> 'write' -> '''seyello''' * <'''faG-'''> 'spit' -> '''fayello''' * <'''dles-'''> 'freeze' -> '''lehyello''' * <'''kó(w)-'''> 'bark' -> '''kóyello''' * <'''a(y)-'''> 'be' -> '''iello''' ======'''-YALLO'''====== -ello: sk, lk -yallo: e:, e, a, y (if -a- in first syllable), ya -ollo: -o- in first syllable -llo: eo, a, o, -lle: augment stems ---- ---- ==='''Participles'''=== Silindion has two participles an active present participle and a passive participle. They differ from gerunds in the fact that they function not as verbs but as adjectives solely. This means that they do not have verbal argument structure and thus cannot take objects (even if the verb they are related to is transitive). ---- ===='''Active Present Participle'''==== The active present participle is an adjective formed from an old verbal noun in an ''a-stem''. This ''a-stem'' noun usually does not exist apart from its adjectival derivative, however a few examples do survive: * <'''doa'''> "roaring" : <'''daw-'''> "to roar" * <'''koa'''> "barking" : <'''ka(w)-'''> "to bark" * <'''lesa'''> "frost" : <'''les-'''> "to freeze" ====='''Derivation'''===== The active participle is formed by adding the adjectival ending <'''-ni'''> to this ''a-stem'' noun. The participle appears to be formed from the 6th principle part with a suffix <'''-ani'''>, due to various sound-changes (see below for the root: <'''daw-'''>). When added to ''a-stem'' verbs, the two _a_ vowels coalesce to form _o_. When added to ''o-stem'' verbs, the vowels coalesce to form _u_. All other stem types show no change (other than normal changes that occur in the 6th principle part, such as alternative stem forms in changeable stems, or augmented stem forms in augmented stems). {| border = 1 ! Stem Type ! Assimilation ! Example |- | ''a'' | -a+ani -> -oni | <'''lia-'''> "to glow" -> <'''lioni'''> "glowing" |- | ''ya'' | -ya+ani -> -yoni | <'''kuiya-'''> "to form" -> <'''kuiyoni'''> "forming" |- | ''o'' | -o+ani -> -uni | <'''tildo-'''> "to frequently see" -> <'''tilduni'''> "frequently seeing" |- |} ---- ---- ==='''Gerunds'''=== In Silindion, there are six different gerunds, which are used to indicate the relation of one action to the action of the main verb. The types of gerunds are the following: '''nominal, anterior, abessive, conjunctive, necessitive, adjectival'''. Except for the anterior gerund, these forms are made from the second principle part. ---- ===='''Nominal Gerund'''==== The nominal gerund is a nominalisation of the verbal root, essentially expressing either a noun ending in _-ing_, in English or a verbal noun ending in _-tion_. ====='''Derivation'''===== The nominal gerund is formed by adding the ending <'''-na'''> to the stem of the verb, this forms the 2nd principle part. For vowel stems, the nominal gerund is a ''d-stem''. An example of this type of verb is: * <'''mi-'''> "to fall" -> <'''mina'''> "falling" ======'''Assimilation in Consonant Stems'''====== For consonant stem verbs, various assimilations occur when the gerund ending is added. Also, note, that the gerund is an ''a-stem'' in consonant verbs (except for gerunds of ''n-stems'' which are ''d-stems''). {| border = 1 ! Stem Type ! Assimilation ! Example |- | ''T/t'' | -t+na -> -nta | <'''peT-'''> "to eat" -> <'''penta'''> "eating" |- | ''D/L'' | -d+na -> -nda | <'''siD-'''> "to sit" -> <'''sinda'''> "sitting" |- | ''P/p'' | -p+na -> -mpa | <'''neP-'''> "to sing" -> <'''nempa'''> "singing" |- | ''B'' | -b+na -> -mba | <'''reB-'''> "to row" -> <'''remba'''> "rowing" |- | ''K/k'' | -k+na -> -nka | <'''reK-'''> "to reach" -> <'''renka'''> "reaching" |- | ''G(w)'' | -g+na -> -nga | <'''faG-'''> "to spit" -> <'''fanga'''> "spitting" |- | ''s'' | -s+na -> -rna | <'''pos-'''> "to heal" -> <'''porna'''> "healing" |- | ''l'' | -l+na -> -lda | <'''thel-'''> "to create" -> <'''thelda'''> "creating" |- | ''r'' | -r+na -> -rna | <'''ker-'''> "to halve" -> <'''kerna'''> "halving" |- | ''n'' | -n+na -> -nna | <'''lin-'''> "to play" -> <'''linna'''> "playing" (accusative: '''lindán''') |- | ''m'' | -m+na -> -mma | <'''nam-'''> "to name" -> <'''namma'''> "naming" |- | ''ng'' | -ng+na -> -nga | <'''ling-'''> "to ring" -> <'''linga'''> "ringing" |} ======'''Semi-vowel Stems'''====== For the semi-vowel verbs, the ending is <'''-na'''>, just like the vowel stems. For these verbs the nominal gerund is a ''d-stem''. Examples of this type of verb are: * <'''persa(y)-'''> "to include" -> <'''perseina'''> "including" * <'''pay-'''> "to keep vigil" -> <'''paina'''> "keeping vigil" * <'''ko(w)-'''> "to bark" -> <'''kona'''> "barking" * <'''mew-'''> "to glitter" -> <'''meuna'''> "glittering" ======'''Compound Stems'''====== For compound verbs, the ending is <'''-a'''>, save for ''st-stems'', which have the ending <'''-na'''> and a stem ending in _s_. The gerund is an ''a-stem'' for this type of verb. * <'''mald-'''> "to move X" -> <'''malda'''> "moving" * <'''kest-'''> "to divide" -> <'''kesna'''> "dividing" ====='''Usage'''===== The nominal gerund is normally used as a noun, and may take case endings. It can also be used as a substitute to full complement clauses, which are normally formed with the conjunction <'''ta'''> and the indicative or subjunctive. 1) Nominal: {| border = 1 | '''ahwáteisi | '''liu''' | '''pentán''' |- | aug.-DO-past-1st.sing. | perfect particle | EAT-gerund-accusative |} '''I have just finished eating'''. 2) Indicative Future Complement: {| border = 1 | '''avavissi | '''i''' | '''lio''' | '''ninmanye''' |- |aug.-RUMOR-past.3rd.sing. |the |woman |MARRY-gerund-topical-3rd.sing.possessive |} '''The woman rumored that she would get married'''. 3) Subjunctive Purpose Complement: {| border = 1 | '''sunu''' | '''sinti''' | '''tandán''' | '''i''' | '''nistari''' |- | WANT-impersonal.passive | ME-dative | RULE-gerund-accusative | the | KING-genitive |} '''I want the king to rule'''. * '''Note:''' The subject of a nominal gerund is either a possessive suffix or a genitive noun. (see examples 2 and 3 above). ---- ===='''Conjunctive Gerund'''==== This gerund is used to express events that occur simultaneously with the main verb, that is, it can translate clauses beginning with "while". It can also have the circumstantial connotations, like "since" or "because". As the examples will show, it is essentially timeless. In its simultaneous function, it is often accompanied by the conjunction <'''ve'''> "as". ====='''Derivation'''===== The Conjunctive Gerund is formed by adding the prefix <'''i-'''> to the 2nd principle part. With verbs beginning in a vowel, the prefix becomes the on-glide <'''y-'''>. Examples of the formation are: * <'''til-'''> "to see" -> <'''issilda'''> "while seeing" * <'''empi-'''> "to chant" -> <'''yempina'''> "while chanting". ====='''Stylistic i-Dropping'''===== In some texts (especially poetry) the prefix <'''i-'''> is written as a detached word and may be found before other material, instead of the verb. It also may be omitted completely. ====='''Usage'''===== 1) Circumstantial {| border = 1 | '''isompa,''' | '''en''' | '''filiello''' | '''iss''' |- | conjunctive-SLEEP-gerund | NOT-3rd.sg. | COME-inf. | here |} '''Because he's sleeping, he can't come here'''. 2) Simultaneous {| border = 1 | '''vë''' | '''yempina,''' | '''roponë''' | '''i''' | '''nimán''' |- | as | conjunctive-SING-gerund | WATCH-impf. | the | CROWD-acc. |} '''As he was singing, he was watching the crowd'''. --- ===='''Anterior Gerund'''==== This Gerund is used to express events that have already occured and have been thoroughly completed. It is usually translated as "after having X-ed". ====='''Derivation'''===== It is formed by adding the suffix <'''-isë'''> to the root of the 6th principle part. This is for the most part straightforward. However, in two cases this is a problem. ======'''Phonological Change in Vowel Stems'''====== In the case of verbs ending in a vowel certain morphophonemic changes occur. For ''a-stem'' verbs, the combination yields _ei_. For ''e-stem'' and ''ē-stem'' verbs, the combination yields _i_. For ''o-stem'' verbs, the combination yield _ei_, for ''ëo-stem'' verbs, the combination yields _iei_. For ''u-stem'' verbs, the combination yields _i_. ======'''K-stems & y-stems'''====== In the case of verbs ending in a changeable ''K-stem'' and a ''y-stem'', one adds the ending to a reduced form of the root. Hence for the verb <'''reK-'''> "to reach", one adds the ending to <'''r-'''>, instead of <'''re-'''> and for the verb <'''noy-'''> "to consecrate", one adds the ending to <'''no-'''> instead of <'''noy-'''>. * <'''lissu-'''> "to live" -> <'''lissisë'''> "having lived" * <'''saT-'''> "to raise up" -> <'''sassisë'''> "having raised up" * <'''noy-'''> "to consecrate" -> <'''noisë'''> "having consecrated" * <'''fat-'''> "to do" -> <'''fatisë'''> "having done" * <'''reK-'''> "to reach" -> <'''risë'''> "having reached" ====='''Usage'''===== The Anterior Gerund can be used in three main functions. The first as a non-grammaticalised perfective aspect with certain auxiliary verbs. It is usually used as such in High Silindion, other varieties having other ways of expressing this aspect. For a more thorough look at aspect, see the appropriate section. Another usage is similar to the conjunctive gerund, that is, as a sentential adjunct. However, it is used exclusively to show previous time. The last is as a non-passive nominal modifier. In this usage it is usually found before the noun being modified. 1) Pefective Aspect {| border = 1 | '''aniksisi''' | '''liu''' | '''pessisë''' |- | aug.-ARRIVE-past-1st.sing. | perfect particle | EAT-anterior.gerund |} '''I have just eaten.''' 2) Sentential Adjunct {| border = 1 | '''Purisë''' | '''myentán,''' | '''onuyanë''' | '''i''' | '''nuno''' |- | SAY-anterior.gerund | THIS-accusative | LEAVE-past | the | young man |} '''Having said this, the young man left.''' 3) Nominal Modifier {| border = 1 | '''eillini''' | '''i''' | '''rutalo''' | '''misisë''' | '''limmo''' | '''osso''' | '''rulín''' |- | aug.-PLANT-past | the | since | FALL-anterior.gerund | by means of | WIND-pl-instrumental | SAPLING-accusative |} '''He planted the sapling, which has since fallen because of the wind.''' ---- ===='''Abessive Gerund'''==== This Gerund is used to express events that have not occured. It is used as the negative of both the anterior gerund and the conjunctive gerund. It can also be used as a negative of the nominal gerund, if needed. It is usually translated by "without". ====='''Derivation'''===== It is formed by adding the prefix <'''en-'''> to the 2nd principle part. This prefix assimilates to verbs beginning in '''l''', '''s''', '''p''', '''f''', '''v''', '''m''', and '''r'''. A further change occurs in verbs beginning with '''hw''' and '''th'''. In these verbs, the prefix becomes <'''e-'''>, and the initial combinations become '''sw''' and '''st''' respectively. In verbs beginning with '''h''', the the initial changes to '''k'''. Verbs beginning with other consonants undergo no change. * <'''lissu-'''> "to live" -> <'''ellissuna'''> "without living" * <'''saT-'''> "to raise up" -> <'''essanta'''> "without raising up" * <'''pay-'''> "to be vigilant" -> <'''empaina'''> "without being vigilant" * <'''fat-'''> "to do" -> <'''efanta'''> "without doing" * <'''vuk-'''> "to weave" -> <'''evunka'''> "without weaving" * <'''mew->'''> "to glitter" -> <'''emmeuna'''> "without glittering" * <'''runi-'''> "to soar" -> <'''errunina'''> "without soaring" * <'''hyeK-'''> "to fight" -> <'''esyenka'''> "without fighting" * <'''thR-'''> "to cover" -> <'''estarna'''> "without covering" * <'''hum-'''> "to soothe, calm" -> <'''enkumma'''> "without calming" * <'''til-'''> "to see" -> <'''entilda'''> "without seeing" * <'''del-'''> "to bundle" -> <'''endelda'''> "without bundling" * <'''yaT-'''> "to happen" -> <'''enyanta'''> "without happening" * <'''nalpin-'''> "to play piano" -> <'''ennalpinna'''> "without playing piano" ====='''Usage'''===== The translation of this form varies according to use. If it negates a nominal gerund it is usually translated "not X-ing". If it negates a conjunctive gerund it is usually translated as "without X-ing". If it negates an anterior gerund it is usually translated as "having not X-ed". 1) Nominal Gerund Negation {| border = 1 | '''empurnonya,''' | '''varilië''' | '''i''' | '''laro''' | '''sammanna''' |- | abessive-SPEAK-gerund-instrumental-3s.poss. | CONDEMN-passive-past | the | thief | DEATH-allative |} '''By not speaking, the thief was condemned to death.''' 2) Anterior Gerund Negation {| border = 1 | '''empenta''' | '''erë''' | '''nani''' | '''urón,''' | '''eimpetyassi''' |- | abessive-EAT-gerund | during | whole | DAY-accusative | aug.-BECOME.HUNGRY-past |} '''Having not eaten for a whole day, he became hungry.''' 3) Conjunctive Gerund Negation {| border = 1 | '''enostona,''' | '''ahwingi''' | '''pero''' | '''i''' | '''nirnë''' |- | abessive-BREATHE-gerund | aug.-SWIM-past | across | the | RIVER-accusative |} '''Without breathing, he swam across the river.''' ---- ===='''Necessitive Gerund'''==== The necessitive gerund is used to express the same ideas as the Latin Gerundive. That is, it can be translated as "should/must X" or "fit to be X-ed". It occasionally is used in a purposive sense, that is "in order that". The theme or patient is usually in the nominative case (or is expressed as a personal ending on the verb). The agent is usually placed in the allative case. However, if the meaning of the construction is "must", the theme is in the genitive and the agent is expressed as a personal ending on the verb. If the meaning of the construction is "in order that" then the theme is in the nominative. ====='''Derivation'''===== It is formed from the 2nd principle part by adding the dative case ending, according to either the rule for nominal ''a-stems'' or ''d-stems''. ====='''Usage'''===== 1) Should {| border = 1 | '''Vávëa''' | '''ëan''' | '''pentanu''' | '''sinta?''' |- | how | BE-present-3s | EAT-necessitive | ME-allative |} '''How should I eat it?''' 2) Must {| border = 1 | '''ëalë''' | '''nenkanu''' | '''neketyari.''' |- | BE-present-2s | ENDURE-necessitive | HARDSHIP-pl-genitive |} '''You must endure hardships.''' * '''Note:''' In this construction, the theme is in the genitive case. 3) In order to {| border = 1 | '''Kesema''' | '''nekéssëa''' | '''fantanu...''' |- | participle | passive | MAKE-necessitive |} '''In order to form the past participle...''' * '''Note:''' In this construction, the theme is in the nominative case. ---- ===='''Adjectival Gerund'''==== The adjectival gerund is used the verbal equivalent to the present participle. What this means is that, unlike the present participle, the adjectival gerund can both describe a particular noun and have argument structure of its own. It is usually best translated as a relative clause, however, this will depend on the context. ====='''Derivation'''===== It is formed from the 2nd principle part by adding the adjectival case ending according to the nominal rules for ''d-stems'' or ''a-stems'', depending of verb-class. In some cases however, especially for ''s-stem, r-stem'', and ''rn-stem'' verbs, the adjectival gerund is formed by adding the adjectival case ending according to the ''d-stem'' rules, despite the fact the the principle part is an ''a-stem''. However, this is not a hard and fast rule, and occasionally ''a-stem'' forms are found as well. Also, hybrid forms are used on occasion. * '''mirna''' "falling" -> '''mírdëa''' / '''mírnëa''' / '''mírndëa''' ====='''Usage'''===== In addition to the "collapsed-relative-clause" usage, some verbs (especially intransitive ones) use this form to translate various different '''verbal adjectives''', such forms similar to English adjectives ending in -ous or -y. In this sense it is just a "second present participle" or sorts, that is, it has no verbal function at all. 1) Relative Clause {| border = 1 | '''Nórë''' | '''anti''' | '''lénëan''' | '''mórnië''' | '''neldéndëa.''' |- | tree | US-dative | SHELTER-accusative | shady | PRESENT-adjectival.gerund |} '''A tree which presents us a shady shelter.''' 2) Verbal Adjective {| border = 1 | '''këasi''' | '''pero''' | '''i''' | '''narnán | '''mëundëa.''' |- | LEAVE-1st.singular | across | the | SEA-accusative | GlITTER-adjectival.gerund |} '''I leave across the glittery sea.''' ---- ---- ==='''Active Finite Forms'''=== ===='''Imperfect'''==== The Imperfect has one formation for all types of stem, it is based on the root of the 6th principle part. For vowel stem verbs, the imperfect is athematic, except for ''ē-stems''. For consonant stems and ''ē-stems'', itis a thematic formation, consisting of a variable theme vowel _V_ followed by the tense suffix, <'''-në'''>. The theme vowel is usually the same as the present theme vowel. In those cases where the present tense of the verb is athematic, the theme vowel is the same as the root vowel. Some verbs with _u_ as the root vowel use _o_ as the theme vowel. Examples: *<'''tad'''> "to rule" -> <'''taranë-'''> *<'''fat'''> "to do" -> <'''fatanë-'''> *<'''yaT'''> "to become" -> <'''yassanë-'''> *<'''rev'''> "to row" -> <'''revenë-'''> *<'''til'''> "to see" -> <'''tilinë-'''> *<'''rop'''> "to watch" -> <'''roponë-'''> *<'''muK'''> "to sail" -> <'''muonë-'''> *<'''pur'''> "to speak" -> <'''puronë-'''> ---- ===='''Subjunctive'''==== The Subjunctive has one formation for all types of stem. ====='''Present Subjunctive'''===== In the present, it is formed by suffixing <'''-i'''> to the stem of the verb. I ======'''Vowel Stems'''====== n the case of ''a-stems'', ''o-stems'', ''e-stems'' and ''ē-stems'', the vowels coalesce into _ei_. For ''ëo-stems'', the vowels coalesce to become _iei_. In the case of ''i-stems'' and ''u-stems'', the vowels coalesce to become _i_. *<'''yalma-'''> "to play the harp" -> <'''yalmei-'''> *<'''ilno-'''> "to make bloom" -> <'''ilnei-'''> *<'''lē-'''> "to show" -> <'''lei-'''> *<'''de-'''> "to gather" -> <'''dei-'''> *<'''dorëo-'''> "to finish" -> <'''doriei-'''> *<'''moni-'''> "to hear" -> <'''moni-'''> *<'''lissu-'''> "to live" -> <'''lissi-'''> ======'''Consonant Verbs'''====== Consonant verbs take the suffix <'''-i'''>, to the root of the 6th principle part. Note that in changeable verbs, this usually means that a special stem form is used, see the two examples below. *<'''muK-'''> "to sail" -> <'''mui-'''> *<'''taD-'''> "to rule" -> <'''tari-'''> *<'''fat-'''> "to do" -> <'''fati-'''> ====='''Past Subjunctive'''===== The past subjunctive is formed by suffixing <'''-u'''> to the root of the 6th principle part. ======'''Vowel Stems'''====== In the case of ''a-stems'', this combination becomes _o_. In the case of ''o-stems'', this combinations becomes _u_. In the case of ''e-stems'' and ''ē-stems'', this combination becomes _ëu_. In the case of all stems ending with _o_ and _u_, the suffix itself disappears in combination. It also has the '''augment''' (for which see below). *<'''yalma-'''> "to play the harp" -> <'''ayalmo-'''> *<'''ilno-'''> "to make bloom" -> <'''eilno-'''> *<'''lē-'''> "to show" -> <'''alëu-'''> *<'''de-'''> "to gather" -> <'''adëu-'''> *<'''dorëo-'''> "to finish" -> <'''adorëo-'''> *<'''moni-'''> "to hear" -> <'''amoniu-'''> *<'''lissu-'''> "to live" -> <'''alissu-'''> ======'''Changeable Stems'''====== The final consonant of changeable consonant verbs undergoes the same modification as in the subjunctive present. *<'''eT-'''> "to lack" -> <'''eissu-'''> *<'''neP-'''> "to sing" -> <'''anephu-'''> ======'''w-Stems'''====== Some verbs with stems in _w_, have two alternative forms for this tense, one reflecting a more recent analogical change, the other being the historically developed form. *<'''daw-'''> "to roar" -> <'''adau-'''> ''or'' <'''adavu-'''> *<'''diw-'''> "to be powerful" -> <'''adiu-'''> ''or'' <'''adivu-'''> ---- ===='''Preterite'''==== The preterite has two formations and eight suffixes. It is the 5th principle part of the verb and is the most unpredictable. The two formations are termed the '''root-preterite''' and '''zero-grade preterite'''. The root-preterite is by far the more common. The root-preterite is formed from the root of the verb, with no modification, beyond the addition of the '''augment''' (see below) and the addition of one of the eight suffixes. The zero-grade preterite however, is formed by modifying the vowel of the root in some way, usually unpredictably. ====='''The Preterite Augment'''===== Almost all preterites have a prefix which is, essentially, <'''a-'''>. This is termed the '''augment'''. It causes lenition to consonant initial verbs and vowel contraction to vowel initial verbs. In the case of verbs beginning of _k_, lenition causes the _k_ to drop completely and then various changes occur: _a_+_e/i_ -> _ai_, _a_+_o/u_ -> au, _a_+_a_ -> _a_. Certain verbs behave a bit unpredictably however, reflecting earlier forms of the root, or various other irregularities: *<'''ya-'''> "to go" -> '''ayanë''' and not '''*ëanë''' (with vowel contraction). *<'''kus-'''> "to lose" -> '''ankusi''' and not '''*ausi''' (with lenition). *<'''ë-'''> "to be" -> '''ië''' and not '''*ai''' (with vowel contraction). ======'''The Augment with Compound Verbs'''====== In certain compound verbs (formed by prefixing a prepositional element to the root of a verb), the augment is found between the prefix and the root. The only common verb displaying this property is: *<'''onëa-'''> "to leave" -> '''onuyanë''', where the medial _u_ represents the augment, after vowel contraction with the original ending of the preposition <'''ono'''>. ======'''Verbs with no Augment'''====== The verbs <'''vo(w)-'''> "to be", <'''thiello'''> "to be necessary", <'''siello'''> "to sneeze" and the defective verb <'''hur'''> "it is raining" do not have an augment: being in the past tense <'''vusi'''>, <'''thi'''>, <''''si'''> (although <'''assi'''> is found) and <'''huksi'''> respectively. This lack of an augment is more widespread in poetry. ====='''Preterite Suffixes'''===== The eight suffixes are, in order of decreasing frequency, <'''-ë'''>, <'''-i'''>, <'''-si'''>, <'''-ti'''>, <'''-zero'''>, <'''-ssi'''>, <'''-na'''>, and <'''-në'''>. These are added to both types of formations. ======'''Nasal Suffixes'''====== The nasal suffixes, <'''-në'''> and <'''-na'''> are not at all common, being present in a total of eight verbs. They are usually part of the more formal register, known as High Silindion and may alternate with more common suffixes in some verbs. The following list gives all the verbs that take these suffixes, with any variant past tenses as well: *<'''ra-'''> "to have, hold" -> '''arena, arti''' *<'''se-'''> "to attach, clasp together" -> '''asenë, asessi''' *<'''se-'''> "to seem" -> '''asena, asti''' *<'''neit-'''> "to increase" -> '''aneintë''' *<'''vow-'''> "to have existance" -> '''avona, avovë''' The following three verbs have nasal past tenses, especially in poetry and older varieties of the language, but they share special properties to be discussed below: <'''sëur-'''> "to get ripped, torn, cut", <'''yeir-'''> "to get weighed, weigh", <'''sar-'''> "to get hot/burned". ======'''Other Suffixes'''====== The distribution of the other suffixes can be outlined broadly, however, even so, the formation of a preterite is the least obvious of all of the principle parts. '''Suffix with Vowel Stems:''' For most vowel stems, the suffix is <'''-i'''>. When added to an ''a-stem'', ''e-stem'' and ''o-stem'', the combination becomes <'''-ë'''>. When added to an ''ëo-stem'', the combination becomes <'''-ië'''>. When added to a ''u-stem'', the combination becomes <'''-i'''>. Examples of these stem types are: *<'''nalla-'''> "to pound" -> '''anallë''' *<'''hwanske-'''> "to wound with a bow" -> '''ahwanskë''' *<'''nayo-'''> "to permit, allow" -> '''anayë''' *<'''lissu-'''> "to live" -> '''alissi''' '''Zero Suffix & -ssi:''' ''i-stems'' have no suffix, while ''ē-stems'' usually have the suffix <'''-ssi''''>, with a few exceptions. *<'''moni-'''> "to hear" -> '''amoni''' *<'''vē-'''> "to gossip" -> '''avissi''' '''Suffixes with Changeable Stems:''' For changeable stems, the following broad rules apply: ''B-stems'' have <'''-si'''>, ''D-stems'' have <'''-ti'''>, ''G-stems'' (and ''Gw-stems'') have <'''-i'''>, P-stems have <'''-ë'''>, T-stems have <'''-si'''> (with some <'''-ë'''>), '''K-stems''' have <'''-si'''>. '''s-stems''' have <'''-ë'''>. Where these rules do not apply, <'''-ë'''> is default (see below however for vowel-harmony rules with this suffix). *<'''reB-'''> "to row" -> '''arepsi''' *<'''saD-'''> "to plant" -> '''asatti''' *<'''faG-'''> "to spit" -> '''ahwai''' *<'''neP-'''> "to sing" -> '''anephë''' *<'''ermissiaT-'''> "to fall in love" -> '''eirmissiassi''' *<'''seK-'''> "to write" -> '''aseksi''' *<'''dles-'''> "to freeze" -> '''aldesë''' '''Harmonic Suffixes with Consonant Stems:''' Other simple consonant stems (together with augmented stems) take mostly <'''-ë'''>, using <'''-i'''> as an harmonic allomorph in certain circumstances. This vowel harmony actually applies in all cases when <'''-ë'''> is used. Basically, <'''-ë'''> is used whenever the root vowel (the vowel preceding the suffix) is '''_a_''' (and '''_ai_'''), '''_e_''' (and '''_ei_''') or '''_o_''', that is, the low vowels and the central vowel. The <'''-i'''> suffix is used if the root vowel is '''_i_''' or '''_u_''', that is, the high vowels. There are very few exceptions to this rule; those that do exist have historical explanations. The following examples illustrate this contrast: *<'''fal-''' "to wander" -> '''aphalë''' *<'''fil-''' "to come" -> '''ahwili''' *<'''pel-''' "to seek" -> '''aphelë''' *<'''sun-''' "to walk" -> '''asuni''' *<'''ol-''' "to sparkle" -> '''ulë''' ('''a-ol-ë''') The main exceptions to this rule are: <'''sul-'''> "to flow" ('''asulë''' < '''aso:lë'''), <'''si(l)-'''> "to shine" ('''asili, asilë'''), <'''nun-'''> "to detect scent" ('''anunë'''), <'''perophur-'''> "to relate" ('''apherophurë, peruphurë'''), <'''pur-'''> "to speak" ('''aphurë'''), <'''sur-'''> "to rustle" ('''asulti, asurë'''), <'''tusk-'''> "to hoot" ('''assuskë'''), <'''nuw-'''> "to tune" ('''anuvë'''), <'''ling-'''> "to ring" ('''alingë'''). '''Suffixes with N-stems:''' ''n-stems'' take either <'''-ti'''> or <'''-ë'''> (with harmonic alteration). There are also a few instances of <'''-si'''>. The consonantal past tense suffixes are associated, for the most part, with verbs which have been derived from a noun by means of the deverbal suffix <'''-n'''>. While this is not a hard and fast rule, it does cover a large number of ''n-stems''. Otherwise, the suffix is usually <'''-ë'''>. The examples below show both the noun (if any) and the derived verb: *<'''nossa'''> "snow" -> <'''nossan-'''> "to snow" -> '''anossanti''' *<'''riska''' > "popping, swelling" -> <'''riskan-'''> "to swell, pop" -> '''ariskassi''' ('''a-riskan-si''') *<'''nomben-'''> "to get engaged" -> '''anombenë''' *<'''ndun-'''> "to rush" -> '''anduni''' '''Suffixes with ''y-stems'':''' These take either <'''-ë'''> or no suffix, rather indiscriminately. *<'''nay-'''> "to be permitted" -> '''anai''' *<'''nankoy-'''> "to apply to" -> '''anankoyë''' '''Suffixes with Compound Stems:''' Compound stems take either <'''-ë'''> (with harmony) for the most part, or <'''-si'''> only in ''nd-stems'', ''nt-stems'' and ''rn-stems'' to some extent. *<'''teld-'''> "to silence" -> '''asseldë''' *<'''pelk-'''> "to ask" -> '''aphelkë''' *<'''namp-'''> "to hammer" -> '''anampë''' *<'''yathend-'''> "to be obligated" -> '''ayathensi''' (note, not '''*ëathensi''' with vowel contraction) *<'''sint-'''> "to sew" -> '''asinsi''' *<'''vovern-'''> "to answer" -> '''avoversi''' *<'''harr-'''> "to meet for the 1st time" -> '''aharrë''' *<'''mersk-'''> "to conceal" -> '''amerskë''' *<'''risk-'''> "to swell" -> '''ariski''' *<'''misp-'''> "to destroy" -> '''amispi''' *<'''list-'''> "to begin to think" -> '''alisti''' ====='''Zero-Grade Preterites'''===== * <'''ra-'''> "hold" -> '''a-r-ti''' (augment + zero-grade-root + suffix) (but, '''arena''' is also found). * <'''se-'''> "seem" -> '''a-s-ti''' (augment + zero-grade-root + suffix) (but, '''asena''' is also found). * <'''vo(w)-'''> "exist" -> '''vu-si''' (zero-grade-root + suffix). * <'''the-'''> "be necessary" -> '''th-i''' (zero-grade-root + suffix). * <'''tildo-'''> "frequently see" -> '''-assil-ti''' (a-tild-ti) (augment + zero-grade-root + suffix). * <'''ren-'''> "drown" (High Silindion) -> '''a-r-si''' (a-rn-si) (augment +zero-grade-root + suffix) (but, '''aressi''' & '''arenti''' are also found). *<'''tera-'''> "work metal" -> '''a-sser-ti''' (augment + zero-grade-root + suffix) (but, '''asserë''' is also found). ====='''Irregular Past Tenses'''===== These are past tenses which are not formed according to the two normal formations (root or zero-grade) or having special suffixes. ======'''Stative Pasts'''====== The irregular nasal past tenses of <'''sëur-'''> "to get ripped, torn, cut", <'''yeir-'''> "to get weighed, weigh", <'''sar-'''> "to get hot/burned". These verbs form past tenses from stems that do not end in '''_r_'''. This is because '''_r_''' was originally a derivational suffix indicating process. When viewed from the past, process and state sometimes become synonymous. That is "got ripped" and "have been ripped" mean basically the same thing. This was indicated in Old Silindion by replacing the process suffix '''_r_''' with a stativizing '''_n_''', followed by a harmonic vowel. This resulted in the (original) past tenses: *<'''sëur-'''> -> '''senkë''' ('''sekw-n-e''') *<'''yeir-'''> -> '''yeina''' ('''yay-n-a''') *<'''sar-'''> -> '''salda''' ('''sal-n-a''') Eventually, these were replaced by '''asëurë''', '''ayeirë''', and '''asarë''' respectively. ======'''Pia-'''====== The past tense of <'''pia-'''> "to touch" is irregular. This verb becomes a ''k-stem'' in the past tense, taking the suffix <'''-si'''>: '''aphiksi'''. ======'''Fē-'''====== The past tense of <'''fē-'''> "to flee" is irregular. This verb sometimes takes the peculiar suffix <'''-essi'''>: '''aphiessi''' (but '''aphissi''' is also found). ======'''Su-'''====== The past tense of <'''su-'''> "to want" is irregular. This verb is almost always used in the passive, thus the past tense is <'''súrië'''>. ======'''Mot- & Thor-'''====== The irregular verbs <'''mot/mar/mat-'''> "to hide" and <'''thor/thar/tha-'''> "to cover" are irregular in the past tense as well. These verbs have the past tenses '''amatë''' and '''athasi''' (also '''athorë''') respectively. ======'''Ti-'''====== The verb <'''ti-'''> "to take" is irregular. This verb is defective and has no past tense. The past tense is supplied by the synonym <'''ist-'''>, which only exists in this tense. Thus the past is <'''eistë'''>. This root is also used for the past tense of <'''vayanti-'''> "to choose a path", which is <'''vayaneistë'''> in the past tense. (Note internal augmentation). ======'''Sur-'''====== The verb <'''sur-'''> "to rustle" is irregular. In addition to having the past tense <'''asurë'''>, this verb also becomes an ''l-stem'' in the past tense, making <'''asulti'''>. This is probably due to contamination with <'''sul-'''> "to flow". ---- ===Regular and Irregular Principle parts=== In this section common verbs will all of their principle parts shall be given. In addition, those verbs which have "irregular" principle parts of some kind will be listed. ===='''Regular Principle Parts'''==== {| border = 1 !

B) If the comparative is used adjectively to denote the attributes of a referential noun phrase, then the standard of comparison is a noun phrase as well. The standard of comparison is inflected for ablative case. C) If the comparative is used adverbially to denote the manner by or degree to which something is done, then the standard of comparison is a prepositional relative with a resumptive pronoun (for more information, see the appropriate section). 1) Standard of Comparison = Noun Phrase {| border = 1 |- | '''ëan''' | '''i''' | '''nari''' | '''më''' | '''pantio''' | '''nattolim''' |- | BE-present-3rd-sing. | the | BIRD | this | SMALL-comparative | OTHER-ablative |} "This bird is smaller that the other one." 2) Standard of Comparison = Relative Clause {| border = 1 |- | '''purontë''' | '''layo''' | '''ta(lim)''' | '''yova''' | '''phurosi''' | '''ulo''' |- | SPEAK-present-3rd-plural | GOOD-comparative | which-(ablative) | relative | SPEAK-present-1st-sing. | BEYOND-it |} "They speak better than I speak." ---- ==='''Subordination'''=== ===='''Complement Clauses'''==== ===='''Purpose Clauses'''==== ===='''Relative Clauses'''==== A) Relative clauses in Siliindion are formed in a number of ways depending on dialect and register. In the following sections, Standard Low Silindion (the vernacular language in use for every day life as well as so-called 'vulgar literature' and some poetry will be described. A separate section, entitled Relative Clauses in High Silindion will deal with the court language and the language of religion, epic poetry and other 'higher' forms of literature. B) In Low Silindion (hereafter: Silindion), the relative clause is formed by means of two elements: the '''relative pronoun''' and the '''subordinating conjunction'''. The both the relative pronoun and the subordinating conjunction are vary with regard to animacy. The pronoun varies with regard to number only for inanimates. The following table gives the forms of both the relative pronoun and the subordinating conjunction. The forms of the pronoun are found under the labels 'singular' and 'plural'. {| border = 1 |- ! Animacy ! Singular ! Plural ! Subordinator |- |'''Animate''' |të |të |yo |- |'''Inanimate''' |ta |tona |yova |- |} C) The animate subordinator is usually prefix that attaches to the following verb. Vowels are changed as in the following chart. Consonants that can be lenited, are lenited (except for _k_, which remains unchanged). The only time that the subordinator is not a prefix is if the verb begins in a diphthong. {| border = 1 ! Verb Initial ! Assimilation ! Example |- | ''a'' | yo + a > yu | <'''aski-'''> "to shake hands" -> <'''yuski-'''> "relative-shake.hands" |- | ''o'' | yo + o -> yu | <'''or-'''> "to speak" -> <'''yur-'''> "relative-speak" |- | ''i'' | yo + i -> yei | <'''ilor-'''> "to terrify" -> <'''yeilor'''> "relative-terrify" |- | ''u'' | yo + u -> yu | <'''urr-'''> "to swallow" -> <'''yurr-'''> "relative-swallow" |- | ''e'' / ''ei'' | yo + e -> yoi | <'''es-'''> "to jump" -> <'''yois-'''> "relative-jump" |- |} D) The pronoun may be inflected for any of the cases (except for the essive, copulative and adjectival). Examples of the inflected pronoun are found in the following sections. E) With inanimate antecedents, the number distinction (<'''ta'''> ''singular''; <'''tona'''> ''plural'') found in the relative pronoun is optional. This does not correlate with restrictiveness vs. non-restrictiveness and is likely a free variant. The number distinction is more common in literature and in High Silindion. 1) Number Agreement: {| border = 1 | '''i''' | '''mar''' | '''në''' | '''i''' | '''ssorma''' | '''tonán''' | '''yova''' | '''lenyáneinto''' | '''i''' | '''deni...''' |- | the | CITY | and | the | TOWER | which-plural-accusative | relative | BUILD-imperfect-3rd.plural | the | PEOPLE |} "the city and tower that the people were building..." 2) Non-Number Agreement: {| border = 1 | '''ya''' | '''i''' | '''nóriavi''' | '''ta''' | '''malyanto''' | '''o''' | '''ostervi...''' |- | under | the | TREE-plural-locative | which | MOVE-pres.-3rd.-plural | in | WIND-locative |} "Under the trees that move in the wind..." F) With non-human animate nouns (such as animals) as antecedents, both the inanimate and animate pronouns may be used, together with either the animate or inanimate subordinator. This tendency to restrict animacy marking to humans is very usual in spoken Silindion. 3) Animal = Animate {| border = 1 | '''Nissa''' | '''phessina''' | '''i''' | '''lëorna''' | '''tein''' | '''yulavassë''' | '''apa''' |- | let | EAT-subj.-1st-plural | the | WHITE.DEER-accusative | which-accusative | rel.-aug.-CATCH-past-3rd-sing. | father |} "Let's eat the white deer that father caught." 4) Animal = Inanimate {| border = 1 | '''Nissa''' | '''phessina''' | '''i''' | '''lëorna''' | '''tan''' | '''yova''' | '''alavassë''' | '''apa''' |- | let | EAT-subj.-1st-plural | the | WHITE.DEER-accusative | which-accusative | relative.inanimate | aug.-CATCH-past-3rd.-sing. | father |} ====='''Headed Relative Clauses'''===== Headed relative clauses have an antecedent, headless relative clauses do not. ======'''Argument Relative Clauses'''====== A) The pronoun may either be inflected for the case that the argument has in the relative clause or the case that the antecedent has (this is called '''case attraction'''). 1) Non-case attraction: {| border = 1 | '''Monienta''' | '''i''' | '''vurmán''' | '''Alarieli''' | '''të''' | '''yossarán''' | '''emë''' | '''turnivi.''' |- | HEAR-optative/future.2nd.plur | the | STORY-accusative | Alarië-genitive | who-nominative | rel.-RULE-pres.-3rd.sing. | on | NIGHT-locative |} "You shall hear the story of Alarië who rules over night." * '''Note:''' The pronoun is inflected as a nominative, as it is acting as the subject of the relative clause. This is despite the fact that the antecedent is in the genitive. 2) Case Attraction: {| border = 1 | '''a''' | '''hweya''' | '''Rilméveri,''' | '''të''' | '''yumiri''' | '''apanya...''' |- | oh | DAUGHTER-nominative | Rilmevë-genitive | WHO-nominative | rel.-aug.-LOVE-past-3rd.sing. | FATHER-nominative-our |} "Oh daughter of Rilmevë, whom our father loved..." *'''Note:''' The pronoun is inflected as nominative. This is despite the fact that it is acting as the object of the relative clause. However, because it is in apposition to the antecedent, 'daughter', it is inflected as nominative; i.e. it is attracted to the case of the antecedent. B) Unusually (from the point of view of language-typology), case attraction is only found when the relative clause is '''non-restrictive''', i.e. appositive (as an option). The explanation is likely that the relative pronoun is functioning like an antecedent in its own right, hence it must have case appropriate to its clause, not the relative clause. This phenomenon is also found in embedded questions, for which see the appropriate section. ======'''Prepositional Relative Clauses'''====== A) There are two methods of forming a prepositional relative clause (i.e. when the the relation between relativized element and subordinate clause is a prepositional relation). B) The most common method is to inflect the relative pronoun in an oblique case (dative, ablative, allative, comitative, locative, instrumental, relative, benefactive) and place the relative pronoun between the antecedent and the relative clause, which is introduced by the subordinator. C) The second method is to add a preposition with a resumptive pronoun. In this case, the relative pronoun remains uninflected (normally, although inflection in an oblique case appropriate to the preposition is sometimes found). D) In the first sentence type, no prepositions are found. In the second type, prepositions are required. The difference is one of specificity, i.e. whenever a more specific prepositional relation is required (i.e. meanings such as "beyond" or "above") the preposition+resumptive strategy would be used. Whenever a generic prepositional relation is meant (i.e. "at", "in") the normal method is used. 1) No Preposition + Resumptive {| border = 1 |- | '''arti''' | '''haitín''' | '''to''' | '''yova''' | '''aropsi''' | '''i''' | '''siryán''' |- | aug.-HOLD/HAVE-past-3rd-sing. | SWORD-accusative | which-instrumental | relative | aug.-PROTECT/GUARD-past-3rd-sing. | the | GATE-plural-accusative |} "He had a sword with which he guarded the gates." 2) Preposition + Resumptive {| border = 1 |- | '''ië''' | '''noldi''' | '''i''' | '''morno''' | '''ta''' | '''yova''' | '''amisti''' | '''yo''' |- | was | COOL | the | SHADE | which | relative | aug.-SIT-past-3rd-sing. | beneath-it |} "The shade under which he sat was cool." ('''ië noldi i morno tavi yova amisti''' would mean "the shade in which/where he sat was cool." ======'''Genitival Relative Clauses'''====== A) There are two ways of forming a relative clause which has a genitival relation, i.e. which can be translated as "whose". B) The first way, found commonly in poetry, is to place the pronoun (in the genitive) after the antecedent followed immediately by the subordinate clause, with no intervening subordinator. This seems to be found with animate antecedents. Note that in this construction, the object possessed by the antecedent is usually (but not always) placed at the end of the subordinate clause, as in the example. 1) Non-Fronting Construction {| border = 1 |- | '''a''' | '''noirë''' | '''na''' | '''teiri''' | '''rento''' | '''sinta''' | '''i''' | '''nempë''' |- | oh | HOLY | ONE | who-genitive | REACH-3rd-plural | ME-allative | the | SONG-plural |} "Oh holy one, whose songs reach me..." C) The second way of forming a genitival relative, found most often with inanimate antecedents, is to inflect the relative pronoun and front the possessed object to before the subordinated verb. In this construction, the subordinator is found. However, it may be best to analyze the subordinator and the relative pronoun has one grammatical element. In fact, it is occasionally written as one, i.e. as '''tariyova'''. 2) Fronting Construction {| border = 1 |- | '''silinya''' | '''tariyova''' | '''nan''' | '''ahwili''' | '''mi''' |- | STAR-plural | whose | LIGHT | aug.-FALL-past-3rd-sing. | down |- |} "Stars whose light falls down." * ''''Note:''' In this construction, '''tari''' is not inflected for number. This is another indication, perhaps, that this has become divorced from the relative pronoun '''ta'''. ====='''Headless Relative Clauses'''===== ====='''High Silindion Relative Clauses'''===== ====='''Poetic Relative Clauses'''===== ====='''Copular Relative Clauses'''===== ===='''Embedded Questions'''==== ---- ==='''Quotation'''=== ---- ==='''Conditional Clauses'''=== ---- ==='''Information Structure'''=== ===='''Topicalization'''==== ===='''Focalization'''==== ---- ==='''Copular Clauses'''=== ===='''Descriptive'''==== ===='''Identificational'''==== ===='''Emphatic'''==== ===='''Existential'''==== ---- Case Usages in Silindion 2030 7205 2006-02-21T01:02:02Z Erelion12 120 User:Denihilonihil 2032 49329 2009-09-23T18:31:48Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Arophanic language family */ ==Gigni de nihilo nihil, in nihilo nil posse reverti== [[Image:Blossom.jpg]] From this famous quote by the Roman poet and satirist Persius was derived my username. :'''yu.''' high school student from the tropical island of Singapore.<br /> :would like to be intellectual some day.

[i] is pronounced /I/ if directly preceded by the letter [j]. The consonants are [c], [f], [h], [j], [l], [m], [n], [s], [t]. All of these are pronounced like their lower-case X-SAMPA counterparts, except for the following: * [c] = /s/ * [h] = /C/ * [s] = /S/ * [t] = /T/ All of the consonants except [j] and [s] can be followed by [j] to make a cluster. Example: [lju] is pronounced /'ljy/. The syllable structure is <CV>. C is a consonant (or cluster) and V is a vowel. Emphasis starts high and declines towards the end of the word, but then rises about halfway on the last syllable. A small pause is placed between grammatical inflections and roots. This is optional but helps when dealing with large words. No such pause is needed between words, because the tone helps clarify this. == Grammar == === Cases === * Nominative: indicates the subject of the sentence. * Accusative: indicates the object of the sentence. * Temporal: indicates the time an event took place. * Facilitative: indicates a noun that helps the event take place. In the case of a three-noun sentence (such as ''I gave a letter to John''), ''letter'' would be in the nominative and ''I'' would be in the facilitative. (this sentence would probably be closer to ''With my help, a letter gave itself to John.'') * Obstructive: indicates a noun that prevents or hinders an event. * Result: Indicates the result of a sentence. === Syntax and Rules === * The basic order is Subject-Object-Verb, although any order is valid. The item appearing first is given the emphasis. Example: ''joe.NOM mary.ACC like'' indicates that Joe likes Mary, as opposed to Bill liking Mary. If we were to say that Joe likes Mary, as opposed to Joe liking Felicia, we would say ''mary.ACC joe.NOM like'' instead. * Three numbers exist: singular, few (undefined, but usually for numbers less than five or six), and many (anything larger than few). * Adjectives must agree with their noun in number (singular, few, or many) and case. * Subclauses are simply sentences with a [na] particle on each end. The equivalents to prepositions (but, therefore) are marking the ending [na] particle with the proper case. Example: ''I would go skiing, but I had a concussion'' would be ''I would go skiing na I had a concussion na.OBSTRUCTIVE''. * There are no definite or indefinite articles. * Any number of cases may be added to a word to express an added meaning. Example: in a reflexive action, the noun would have both the nominative and accusative. * The temporal case does not have plural endings. * There is no future tense, you use the "I plan to ''verb''" construction. This is a cultural consideration, since the Elves firmly believe that the future cannot be predicted and can always change. * Possession with pronouns ('''I''', '''you''', '''he''', as opposed to '''Bob''') is indicated using the inflections in the table below. Possession for other nouns ('''Bob''', or '''the tree''') is indicated using subclauses and auxiliary verbs, as in: ''(george.NOM possess.PRESENTINDICATIVE.3PSINGULAR tent.ACC).NOM has-property.PRESENTINDICATIVE.3PSINGULAR green.ACC'', which means ''George's tent is green''. * Verbs are inflected for their pronoun in the table below and the tense, also in one of the below tables. === Grammatical Markers === ==== Case Table ==== {| || '''Case''' || '''Singular''' || '''Few''' || '''Plural''' || '''Notes''' |- || Nominative || (none) || -hi || -hitja || |- || Accusative || -he || -ne || (remove previous vowel)-etja || |- || Temporal || -ju || (N/A) || (N/A) || Only used in the singular. |- || Facilitative || -homja || -homjita || -homitja || |- || Obstructive || -hoho || -huho || -huho || No inflection for "plural". |- || Result || -mji || -mjuli || -mjitja || |} ==== Verb Tenses ==== {| || '''Mode''' || '''Past''' || '''Present''' || '''Conditional''' || '''Notes''' |- || Indicative || -lolahi || -ninahi || -fjofahi || Only used when talking factually. |- || Subjunctive || -lunalju || -minamju || -ninanju || Used in storytelling, lies, possible truths, etc. |- || Imperative || -nitu || -ljatu || -fehija || Command form. |} ==== Verb Inflections to Serve as Pronouns ==== {| || '''Person''' || '''Singular''' || '''Few''' || '''Plural''' || '''Notes''' |- || First || -ji || -je || -je || |- || Second || -li || -le || -lja || |- || Third || -hi || -he || -hja || Not inflected for gender. |} ==== Possessive Noun Inflections ==== These are added to the noun they modify.

Ilethes 2040 16939 2006-12-02T17:04:57Z Denihilonihil 119 '''Ilethes''' is one of the outermost planets orbiting the star [[Dephelis]], and has no satellite in its orbit. Instead, it is engaged in mutual orbit with the planet of [[Valmante]]. Ilethes is believed to be 6.332 billion years old. ==Names== ==History== {{seealso|Maguera}} In the beginning, the planet now known as Ilethes was a swift-moving ball of rock, growing rapidly as it gathered ever more debris on its surface as it moved through space, and occasionally in collisions with asteroids and other assorted cosmophernalia. As the planet grew larger in mass, so concomitantly grew its gravitational pull, which led to what might be called cosmological sedimentation, as increasing amounts of debris, of increasing mass, settled on the surface of the planet, eventually weighing it down enough for it to be pulled into a mutual orbit with the planet [[Valmante]]. In time, the core of Ilethes melted, due to the immense heat generated by the great pressure of cosmic debris and other matter that had accumulated on its surface, and the barren, rocky mass which once could not have supported life now began to decompose, irradiating its surrounding matter, and its riches of minerals seeped into the looser, more permeable outer layers of the planet; at the same time, the melting core emanated large amounts of heat, which diffused outwards and consumed the matter of the planet from the inside, enlarging the molten core and creating currents of molten matter of enormous strength that circulated inside the planet and set it in rotation, occasionally pressing hard enough against the still-solid crust to cause bulges, protrusions and other deformities on the surface. At times, velocity differentials between different currents led to tectonic activity, splitting up the crust into various “plates” that moved at different speeds in different directions, in turn leading to new tectonic landforms such as buckled mountains at convergent plate boundaries, and upsurges of molten material from the core which solidified as they reached the surface forming new crust of significantly decreased thickness and lower altitude. Plate boundaries were, however, not fixed due to the constantly changing directions of the currents; new plates splintered from old as regularly as did old plates coalesce into new. As the core continued to give off heat, the entire surface of the planet was warmed, and eventually heated up sufficiently that volatile elements and compounds had already escaped some distance from the planet to form its atmosphere, while other less volatile ones had also melted, and formed running streams and rivers, which were found especially often midway up mountains, collecting into lakes and seas of mixed substance where the altitude was lower, especially in depressions. By far, the substance present in the largest quantity had been dihydrogenated oxygen, which quickly evaporated into the atmosphere as the planet heated up, but which also condensed rapidly upon contact with the far colder temperatures further away from Ilethes’ surface, forming an atmospheric zone at the upper extent of which it constantly rained, and at the lower limit of which falling rain constantly evaporated and returned within the zone. Eventually, however, the currents in the core began to slow as its energy had dissipated in the form of outbound heat, and the planet’s rotation slowed significantly, as temperatures fell and rain began to fall on the surface of Ilethes. With water, the planet’s surface underwent a host of changes—rivers accentuated previously milder landforms such as valleys and lakes, while eroding many once stark features, such as mountains; erosion of the surface resulted in the development of a rich layer of soil, fertilized by minerals both carried in the water and eventually deposited, and held within the ground and brought close to the surface by the water. Repeated cycles of such heating and cooling of the planet gave rise to a host of proto-lifeforms that seasonally alternated between activity and dormancy, surviving on nutrients released by the presence of water and reverting to suspended animation in periods of drought and global freezing. The planet eventually settled around an equilibrium rotation-speed that had currents in the core flowing considerably faster around the “equator” than at the “poles”, leaving temperatures at the equator high with little precipitation, and temperatures at the poles low with most precipitation solidified on the ground. At this time Ilethes was not an illuminated planet. In its mutual orbit with [[Valmante]] neither was able to give off light in the same way that both emitted heat from within; lifeforms on both planets had, significantly, developed strong abilities to “see” in infra-red, while photosensitivity was an area of relative impairment. Yet while the planets maintained constant, stable revolutions around each other, neither drawing nearer nor drifting apart, as a unit they had been in motion, albeit slower than they had been individually, towards a light-emitting star, namely, [[Dephelis]]. ==Dual-planet system== ===Magnetic field=== ===Day & night=== ==Physical characteristics== ===Chemical composition=== ===Shape=== ===Position in orbit=== ===Internal structure=== ===Tectonic plates=== ==Geography== ===Terrain=== ===Continents=== ===Hydrosphere=== ===Atmosphere=== ===Climate=== ===Biosphere=== ===Natural resources=== ===Natural hazards=== ==Human interaction== ===Land use=== ===Depictions & descriptions=== ====Western culture==== ====Eastern culture==== ====Fiction==== ===Environmentalism=== ==See also== *[[D-2 dual-planet system]] *[[Valmante]] *[[List of countries of Ilethes]] [[Category:Conworlds]] [[Category: D-2 dual-planet system]] [[Category: Ilethes]] Lein Empire 2041 14214 2006-10-06T03:47:32Z Sirica 257 The '''Lein Dynasty''' was a dynasty of the Empire, of that civilisation which was anciently known as the Yesan, preceded by the [[Har Dynasty]] and succeeded by the [[Yech Dynasty]]. It was ruled by the family of the same name, and ruled for around 500 years (depending on the definition of the ending of the dynasty, since it split into two at its end); founded by [[Lein Durun berHikas]], it had either 20 or 21 Emperors in all (again, depending on definition). See [[Genealogy of the Lein Emperors]]. The Lein Dynasty was the fourth unified dynasty of the Yesan, and in terms of historical impact one of the greatest ever. During the dynasty the Empire [[expansion of the Lein Dynasty|more than doubled in area]], and [[Order of the World|extended military and political control over four continents]], to the extent of carving up entire continents into properly-defined states, all of which were them placed under the protection and suzerainty of the Imperial Court. Meanwhile, artistically the Lein was also a golden age, with new styles of sculpting, painting and other graphic arts imported from all over the world, while poetry evolved from the old, relatively rigid style of the 'ode' to the new 'song' and 'assertion' forms. At the same time other art forms also flourished, from painting to music to sculpture; the [[Tomb of Areya]], for example, contained no less than 600 stone sculptures, to serve as handmaidens, servants and guards for the [[Nim Areya|Empress]] buried within. == Beginnings == The founding of the Lein Dynasty had its roots in the corruption and terror which occupied the last decades of the Har Dynasty. During the reign of the last two Har Emperors, the country was slipping into ever-greater chaos; while many families, granted Imperial Approvals to monopolise trade in certain regions and to pay the taxes to the government, were rapidly growing into political powers of their own right, the princes, families of the imperial consorts (the [[Outer Kin]]) and the officials were being engaged in bitter factional infighting in the power centre. At the same time, a series of agricultural crises and famines in the last decades of Har rule resulted in great hardship in the southern regions, which since time immemorial had been the economic power base of the Har Emperors; huge movements of population were at first held back, then slaughtered by the army, and before long these impoverished peasants began to fight back. A series of large agrarian revolts shook the South, while in the north tensions were also running high as officials stopped receiving salaries (all money going towards the war effort) and the [[Thridan]] people from the northern border ceaselessly building up large camps as though preparing to invade the Empire on a massive scale. It was into this political mess that Lein Durun berHikas, the founder of the Dynasty, plunged with a small army of his own. He first claimed that he would capture the provincial capital of Kurad Province, the large city of Alemos, in order to fortify against the outer enemy and to return peace to the inner lands - an ostensibly pro-Imperial message which earned him the support of officials still loyal to the old regime. By the time he reached Alemos his ranks had swelled tenfold to more than 80,000 men, and the city surrendered without a fight, starting the [[Lein Founding War]] as Lein Durun's army fought both the peasant uprisings and, eventually, the very same government it had allied with against those peasant uprisings. Five years later, aged 40, Lein Durun captured the capital city of Meiron and was crowned in [[Ansagin Palace]] as the First Emperor of the Lein Dynasty. ==Early Period== The so-called Early Period of the Lein Dynasty refers mostly to the reigns of the first three Emperors, stretching across 59 years: Durun, his son Kasan, and his grandson Onge; it was marked first by great reforms which paved the way for an early burst of prosperity, before the tyranny and misrule of Onge nearly brought the whole Empire to its knees. Lein Durun, with the assistance of his [[Grand Chancellor]] [[Aran Ozei berKami]], set in motion sweeping reforms to the original laws of the Har Dynasty. Firstly, he simplified the increasingly labyrinthine legal code of the Har, and created the [[Code of the Progenitor]], which besides being a legal code was also a set of rules for the behaviour of officials, and the standards expected of all Emperors after him. The next and even more important reform was that of land; millions of squares of land had either been left unused due to the revolts and the Founding War, or were producing very inefficiently due to their being owned by large absentee landowners (who often did not put money into ensuring the productiveness of their land). To solve this, Durun and Aran Ozei created a system whereby peasants were encouraged to move and organise their own land, pooling their money (together with considerable Imperial subsidies) to purchase agricultural tools, while the large army which had fought in the Founding War was put to good use building irrigation and water conservancy systems so as to increase the yield of the lands, especially the highly fertile southwestern fields - which, by the end of Durun's reign, was routinely producing three crops a year.

Of course, many conlangs - including many famous and ambitious ones - are made just for fun. In this sense, Quenya and Sindarin could be considered funlangs. More specifically, however, a '''funlang''' is a small conlang project done without much afterthought or high aspiration, as a distraction from more 'serious' conlang projects. A funlang in this sense usually has no detailed conculture or conhistory attached, the grammar is and will remain sketchy, the vocabulary is small, etc. It is done without much effort. An example of a funlang is [[Gobldi Guk]], as opposed to the more ambitious [[Albic]] project of the same author. [[Category:Types of conlangs]] Self-segregating morphology 2047 48162 2009-08-07T20:39:12Z Tropylium 756 list now local '''Self-segregating morphology''' is a [[morphology]] designed such that the morpheme boundaries can be easily determined from the phoneme sequence alone. Thus, parsing the language is much simplified and a major source of ambiguity is eliminated. Self-segregating morphology is frequently found in [[engineered language|engelang]]s. A pure form of this is not found in natlangs and thus out of place in a [[naturalistic artlang]]. However, some natlangs have strict rules about [[accent]] placement within a word (e.g. Polish), or all vowels at the start of a morpheme may have a glottal stop (e.g. German). A simple example of a self-segregating morphology is the following: Each morpheme consists of an alternating sequence of consonants and vowels, beginning and ending with a consonant. Under this rule, morpheme boundaries are marked by consonant clusters. For example, the wordform '''balaklamballan''' can only be segmented as '''balak-lam-bal-lan'''. ==See also== [[List of self-segregating morphology methods]] [[Category:Morphology]] Naturalistic artlang 2048 55874 2010-09-08T20:21:58Z WeepingElf 43 A '''naturalistic artlang''' is an [[artlang]] that is designed to resemble a [[natlang]]. A good naturalistic artlang has a grammar as complex as grammars of natlangs and avoids unnatural features such as [[self-segregating morphology]] or a [[philosophical language|taxonomic vocabulary]]. Famous examples of naturalistic artlangs are [[Wikipedia:Quenya|Quenya]], [[Wikipedia:Sindarin|Sindarin]], [[Wikipedia:Brithenig|Brithenig]] and [[Wikipedia:Verdurian language|Verdurian]]. Many naturalistic artlangs are [[diachronic conlang]]s and come with a fictional history and an elaborated conculture associated with it; some conlangers create entire families of interrelated naturalistic artlangs. This usage of the adjective 'naturalistic' is to be distinguished from the [[naturalistic auxlang|usage]] among auxlangers. ==The Naturalist Manifesto== Jesse Bangs posted a manifesto to the CONLANG mailing list on March 11, 2002: [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0203B&L=CONLANG&P=R13933&I=-3 Lighting Some Flames: Towards conlang artistry] [[User:WeepingElf|I]] whole-heartedly subscribe to the first of the three goals stated therein, ''naturalness''. The second goal, ''completeness'', warrants some criticism. As in most other arts, there is merit in both large (complete conlangs) and small forms (sketchlangs) of conlanging. I'd always prefer an ingenious and original sketchlang over a language with 10,000 words that turns out to be a relex of English (or Lojban, or Esperanto). The third goal, ''creativity'', is of course self-evident, but I don't think it can be measured by typological distance from the languages one is familiar with. Of course, relexes and euroclones done out of laziness are bad. But that doesn't mean one has to go on an anti-L1 binge and cram every single 'exotic' feature one can find into one's conlang. Take [[Germanech]], for example. That language does nothing not found in various western European languages. Everything you can find in Germanech occurs in German, in French or in some other major European language. But that only makes sense - it is ''meant'' to be a pretty ordinary European language, because that's where it is set, and it is intended as a Romance language that has undergone the characteristic sound changes of German. And those changes won't turn Vulgar Latin into a bizarre monster with clicks, split-ergative morphosyntax, or whatever. Everything else than a "humdrum European language" would not be what is called for here.

K. Rowling), whose known human speakers include the Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter. This language has, however, not been publicly described by Rowling and has no known form. Indeed, it is unlikely that a dictionary or a grammar of Parseltongue was ever written even in the ''Harry Potter'' wizarding world itself. The reason for this is that Parseltongue is not as much a learnable language as an innate magical ability. Either you are born a ''Parselmouth'', in which case you can speak and understand Parseltongue without ever learning it, or you are not, in which case you will never ever be able to speak or understand Parseltongue. What a Parselmouth hears when he listens to a snake (or another Parselmouth) are the natural hissing sounds of the snake (or, respectively, their imitation by the Parselmouth), and at the same moment, he magically knows what the snake (or the Parselmouth) wants to tell him. When he speaks Parseltongue, the Parselmouth subconsciously 'translates' his thoughts into snake-sounds. The knowledge of the grammar and the lexicon of Parseltongue is subconscious and cannot be told to someone else or written down. ===Related or descended conlangs=== * [[Parseltongue-inspired]], aka ''Fispa'' [[Category:Conlangs]] Njetoluhi 2052 7296 2006-02-21T22:42:31Z Eosp 122 /* Filled Pools */ changed some stuff Njetoluhi is a "water world." Civilization is limited, and is distributed on small islands and ''filled pools''. == Filled Pools == A filled pool is essentially a whirlpool that is so powerful that it has filled itself with flotsam. Curiously, although these are typically about 15 meters below the surface, they are stable and livable. The water simply flows around the outside. Unfortunately, they are almost completely cut off from the outside world, since any ship approaching will probably be destroyed. (Approaching fish can be netted.) There are two ways to enter a filled pool. One, usually used by humans, is to take a large wooden ring with a deck and platform. Once this is towed (by a large fleet of ships, although some have ''very'' large sails instead) into place, you can simply throw down a rope--although this makes people dizzy. The Elves can also use magic to freeze the whirlpool. Filled pools are relatively common, and about 20 people can live comfortably in one. Although it can serve as a trading base, it is typically safer to store items above. == Cenoji == [[Cenoji]] is the main language of the Sea Elves. These Elves do not live underwater, although they can go under for long periods (about half a day). The Elves typically live in clans aboard the aforementioned wooden rings. Their society is ''de facto'' decentralized and peaceful, but in law the High King of All Elves maintains rule. Cenoji is a simple language yet heavily agglutinating. See the link above for more information. == Society == Most of the Elves are traders. Some live in filled pools, others live on small islands, some stay permanently on their boats, and the rest live on the "mainland." This is really a fringe of livable beach, with an impenetrable forest past it. [[Category:Conworlds]] Philosophical language 2053 57758 2010-11-17T20:09:14Z WeepingElf 43 /* Modern times */ A '''philosophical language''' is an [[engineered language]] implementing some kind of philosophical idea. Often, the term is understood to refer to an [[a priori]] conlang with a vocabulary based on a general taxonomy of ideas. Words are derived from more general words. For example, 'cat' would be a derivative of 'mammal' (perhaps with a few levels in between) which would be a derivative of 'animal', etc. While this works well with some fields of discourse where a natural taxonomy exists (as in the 'cat' example above), it fails in most others where any taxonomy remains arbitrary. Philosophical languages also suffer from the problem that words with similar meaning are also very similar in form, which can lead to misunderstandings. An interesting variation of this approach is the [[arithmographic language]], as first envisioned by Leibniz. Philosophical languages were popular in the 17th century, but some were designed later - until the present day. ==Some philosophical languages== ===17th century=== * [[Ars signorum]] (1661) by George Dalgarno * [[An Essay towards a Real Character]] (1668) by John Wilkins * [[Characteristica universalis]] by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz ===Modern times=== * [[Ro]] (1904) by Edward Powell Foster * [[Ygyde]] by Andrew Nowicki [[Category:Types of conlangs]] User talk:WeepingElf 2054 50257 2009-11-09T17:21:59Z Melroch 31 /* Canarese */ new section oh my god hahahaha [[Flafi]] is such a hilarious language. it's like pokémon, which can only say their own name, truncations of it, repetitions of it but nothing else. hahahaha you've made my day oh gosh this is too funny. -grin --[[User:Denihilonihil|Denihilonihil]] 08:13, 22 February 2006 (PST) ---- Joerg, I've updated more of the Silindion page, if you'd like to take a look.

X-1 has only one open word class, the ''predicate words'' fulfilling the fuctions of nouns, verbs, adjectives etc. in natlangs, and a [[self-segregating morphology]]. X-1 is based on a 2005 discussion in the CONLANG mailing list about an article by Jeff Prothero titled "Near-optimal loglan syntax" and incorporates ideas from Ray Brown and others. It was formerly named '''brz''' (a name coined by Ray Brown) but I dropped that name because it was meaningless and not even a morphologically correct expression in the language: '''b''' would be a uniliteral morpheme, and '''rz''' a fragment of a triliteral one - hence, '''brz''' would be garbage. X-1 owes a lot to other people: * to Jeff Prothero, the self-segregation system based on morpheme lengths indicated by the number of initial consecutive '1' bits; * to Raymond A. Brown, the phonology; * to [[User:Eosp|veritosproject]], the variable-based syntax. ==Phonology== X-1 is fundamentally a language of ''bits''. An X-1 utterance is, at least underlyingly, a bit stream. Each morpheme consists of one or more bit quartets. For purpose of writing it in a more human-readably way, the language uses the following 16 letters, each representing one of the 16 possible bit quartets: '''j g l z ñ d µ b p m t n s r k h''' How is this pronounced? The letters are mapped onto a system of seven consonants (/p t k s l m n/) and four vowels (/i E O u/) by the following rules: Each letter has a consonantal value followed by a vowel. The vowels are inserted according to an automatic rule that is described below. The letters are realized thus: {| ||Bits ||Letter ||Pronunciation |- ||0000 ||'''j''' ||zero followed by a front vowel |- ||0001 ||'''g''' ||[k] followed by a back vowel |- ||0010 ||'''l''' ||[l] followed by a front vowel |- ||0011 ||'''z''' ||[s] followed by a back vowel |- ||0100 ||'''ñ''' ||[n] followed by a front vowel |- ||0101 ||'''d''' ||[t] followed by a back vowel |- ||0110 ||'''µ''' ||[m] followed by a front vowel |- ||0111 ||'''b''' ||[p] followed by a back vowel |- ||1000 ||'''p''' ||[p] followed by a front vowel |- ||1001 ||'''m''' ||[m] followed by a back vowel |- ||1010 ||'''t''' ||[t] followed by a front vowel |- ||1011 ||'''n''' ||[n] followed by a back vowel |- ||1100 ||'''s''' ||[s] followed by a front vowel |- ||1101 ||'''r''' ||[l] followed by a back vowel |- ||1110 ||'''k''' ||[k] followed by a front vowel |- ||1111 ||'''h''' ||zero followed by a back vowel |} When looking closer at this chart, you will notice some regularities. The second half contains the same consonant values as the first half, in reverse order. In fact, a bit pattern and its ''one's complement'' (i.e., what you get when you flip all the bits) have the same consonant value. The frontness is indicated by the last bit of the literal: 0 gives a front vowel, 1 a back vowel. The consonant values of the first half of the chart are not assigned arbitrarily. The odds are obstruents, the evens are sonorants. The systematic becomes clear in the following chart: {| ||0000 ||zero ||0001 ||/k/ |- ||0010 ||/l/ ||0011 ||/s/ |- ||0100 ||/n/ ||0101 ||/t/ |- ||0110 ||/m/ ||0111 ||/p/ |} There are four vowels, namely /E/, /i/, /O/ and /u/. Whether the vowel is high (/i/, /u/) or low (/E/, /O/) is indicated by the first bit of the ''following'' literal. A 0 gives a high vowel, a 1 a low vowel. If there is no literal following, the vowel is high. (Hint: nothing counts as zero.) For example, '''dt''' is pronounced [tOti] because the bit pattern is ''0101 1010''. Both literals have the consonantal value /t/. The LSB of '''d''' is 1: back vowel. The MSB of '''t''' is 1: low vowel. The low back vowel is /O/. The LSB of '''t''' is 0: front vowel. There is no following literal: high vowel. The high front vowel is /i/. ==Morphology== Morphology of X-1 is self-segregating. The length of a morpheme (in quartets) is indicated by the number of consecutive 1s at the begin of the morpheme, plus one. (This is a slight modification of the rule in Jeff Prothero's Plan B: I count the bits that come ''first in the bit stream'', while Prothero counts ''least significant'' bits. But position values of bits do not matter in this scheme, only the bits themselves.) So, the morpheme length can be told by the first bits, or the first letter: {| ||Letter ||Bits &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ||Morpheme length (in quartets) |- ||'''j''' ||0000 ||1 |- ||'''g''' ||0001 ||1 |- ||'''l''' ||0010 ||1 |- ||'''z''' ||0011 ||1 |- ||'''ñ''' ||0100 ||1 |- ||'''d''' ||0101 ||1 |- ||'''µ''' ||0110 ||1 |- ||'''b''' ||0111 ||1 |- ||'''p''' ||1000 ||2 |- ||'''m''' ||1001 ||2 |- ||'''t''' ||1010 ||2 |- ||'''n''' ||1011 ||2 |- ||'''s''' ||1100 ||3 |- ||'''r''' ||1101 ||3 |- ||'''k''' ||1110 ||4 |- ||'''h''' ||1111 ||5+ |} If the first letter of the morpheme is '''h''' , the sequence of consecutive 1s extends to the next bit quartet. For example, a morpheme beginning with '''ht''' is six bit quartets long. This way, you can have infinitely many morphemes. Morphemes with at least three quartets are ''predicate words'', which are the only open lexical class of X-1, taking the functions of nouns, adjectives and verbs. (Yes, ''nouns'' are predicate symbols, too. Think about it.) Biliteral morphemes (2 quartets) are ''connectives'', and uniliterals (1 quartet) are ''variables'' (except '''j''', which is a ''scope delimiter'', indicating that variables in following clauses are not coreferent with variables in preceding clauses). The ''arity'' (or valency, i. e. the number of arguments) of a predicate word is indicated by its length. The arity is always the length (in quartets) of the predicate word minus 2. Thus, 3-quartet predicates are unary, 4-quartet predicates are binary, etc. ==Syntax== A sentence consists of a sequence of clauses, which consist of a predicate word followed by one or more arguments. Each predicate word has a fixed number of arguments (see above). Arguments can be proper names or ''variables''. ==Example== An X-1 sentence could look like this: '''strgrlggrdrgstllrkklkrbpgl'''<br> [sEtElukOlulitukulutOlukOsEtililElOkEkilEkElipOpikuli]<br> '''str-g-rlg-g-rdr-g-stl-l-rkk-l-krbp-g-l'''<br> ''fox x; brown x; quick x; dog y; lazy y; jump.over x y;''<br> 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.' [[Link title]] Aganean 2056 21690 2007-05-07T16:18:23Z JonMoore 90 '''Aganean''' (Agn: ''Cucg ua håcg'') is the primary language of the Kingdom of Ag (Agn: ''Håcgrum ua cgysrå'') ==Alphabet and orthography== The Aganean alphabet consists of the following 20 letters: '''a å b c cg d dg e ë g h hg l m p r s s´ u y (aë)''' Digraphs are considered their own letters for collation purposes. Two letters, ''ô'' and ''y'' have the variations ''oë'' and ''aë'' respectively. They are considered the same letter, as ''ô'' and ''y'' are used only internally within a word with ''oë'' and ''aë'' used when the sounds begin or end a word. The letter ''y'' is always a vowel. The letter ''u'' has two sounds, before a consonant or at the end of a word it sounds like ''oo'', before another vowel, it sounds like an English ''y'' or German ''j''. If the letter ''u'' is sounded as an ''oo'' before any vowel, it is written ''ù'', but still collated as if it were ''u''. The same goes for ''à'' and ''ò'' which are used only before ''ë'' to show both vowels are sounded seperately, as opposed to ''oë'' and ''aë''. The letters ''à'' and ''ò'' are not used when ''oë'' and ''aë'' occur internally within a word, since ''oë'' and ''aë'' are never used as a diphthong in such cases. ==Vocabulary== See: [[Aganean lexicon]] ==Grammar== Aganean is an isolating language. Aganean has no inflections, but uses particles for these functions. ===Nouns=== Aganean has no plural, and uses numbers to show these functions, as well as particles: ''ca'': "some, a few", ''hgepd'': "large group, herd". These are not always necessary, since context can usually sort it out. There are a few words which are inherently plural; compare ''mus´cgyl'': ''boy'' and ''cårcgaë'': "boys, children"; ''ryc'': "mountain, mountaintop", ''mascgyl'', "mountains, mountain range". Aganean is an ergative-absolutive language, and the word order is patient-verb-agent. The particle ''e/ë'' is used to signify the agent. The patient is usually left unmarked, but may be marked with ''aë'' if desired, although this often sounds awkward. ====Pronouns==== Pronouns in Aganean are invariable, and with the exception of "we" are also not marked for plural: *uë - I *es´, huës - you *u - he, she, they *ul - it, they *ùëc - we (you + I) *ùër - we (you + I + he/she/they) *ùëm - we (he/she/they + I) *gu - this/that/these/those (one[s]) ë à ò ù s´ å ===Verbs and adverbs=== Aganean has no tenses, but three aspects, perfective, continuous and habitual. Aganean uses particles to conjugate verbs: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; |- !Aganean verbs!!perfective!!continuous!!habitually!!negative |- |'''imperative'''||ma||sgë||aëm||ra |- |'''would'''||mar||sar||aër||ar |- |'''negative'''||mycg||sycg||aërecg||aërcg |- |'''want'''||më||së||aërë||rë |- |'''must'''||moë||soë||aëroë||roë |- |'''can'''||mus´||sus´||aërus´||rus´ |- |'''need'''||mu||su||aëu||ru |- |'''become'''||mo||has´||aës´||aës´ |- |'''make'''||pam||pas||aëpd||oëpd |- |} ''ru ba gycamd leu e uë.''

Logical languages are meant to allow (or enforce) unambiguous statements. They are typically based on predicate logic but can be based on any system of formal logic. The two best-known logical languages are the predicate languages [[Wikipedia:Loglan|Loglan]] and its successor [[Wikipedia:Lojban|Lojban]], which aim to eliminate syntactical ambiguity and reduce semantic ambiguity to a minimum. ==External links== *[http://minyeva.alkaline.org/links.htm Garrett's Links to Logical Languages] *[http://www.loglan.org/ The Loglan Institue] *[http://www.lojban.org/ The Logical Language Group] [[Category:Loglangs|*]] [[Category:Types of conlangs]] Engineered language 2067 46346 2009-06-23T11:55:11Z Tropylium 756 cat An '''engineered language''' (or short, '''engelang''') is a conlang designed to test or prove some hypothesis about how languages work or might work. Usually, engineered languages have testable design goals, such as unambiguity or self-segregation. Two important subgroups of engineered languages are [[philosophical language]]s and [[logical language]]s. Engineered languages are usually not associated with [[worldbuilding]] and have no [[conculture]]s attached. [[Category:Types of conlangs]] Briefscript 2068 49902 2009-10-25T18:00:27Z WeepingElf 43 '''Briefscript''' is a term coined by Ray Brown for an [[engineered language]] that, at least in written form, has much shorter words than most natural languages. Some briefscripts are also [[speedtalk]]s, i.e. languages that are also very concise in spoken form, but that is not necessary. Some briefscripts use the Latin alphabet as a syllabary; to this purpose, a highly restricted phonology with a very small phoneme inventory is used, i.e. the exact opposite of R. A. Heinlein's speedtalk idea (which uses so many phonemes that each morpheme of an [[oligosynthetic language]] can be just one phoneme long). ==External link== * [http://www.carolandray.plus.com/Briefscript/Index.html The Briefscript Project] by R. A. Brown X-languages 2069 21821 2007-05-22T11:53:11Z WeepingElf 43 /* List of X-languages */ The '''X-languages''' are [[engineered language|experimental languages]] by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]. They are called this way because they are designated by the letter "X" followed by a number. The "X" stands for "eXperimental language". The X-languages are quite different from each other and do not form a unified family of any sort. They surely aren't cognate in the historical linguistic sense as, for example, [[Low Elvish]] and [[Macaronesian]] are cognate. None of the X-languages has a conculture attached, and none is intended to be [[naturalist artlang|naturalistic]]. What I am ''not'' going to do is to propose ''any'' of the X-languages as an [[auxlang]] or anything like that. They are ''experimental'' and way too bizarre to be actually used (for example, I doubt that any human can parse an [[X-2]] sentence which makes ample use of the language's stack-manipulation tricks in real time); and I am doing this (as all of my conlangs) just for ''fun ''. I am also not going to say goodbye to [[naturalist artlang|naturalist artlanging]]. My ''main'' conlang project is still [[Albic]]. But there are some really crazy ideas in my head that fit neither there nor in any other naturalist language, and want to be let loose in experimental languages. It is also very unlikely that any of these projects will ever reach a high level of development. My interest in these projects (and the knowledge that would be required to do them properly) is too limited to follow through on them. ==List of X-languages== * [[X-1]], a briefscript loglang * [[X-2]], a stack-based language * [[X-3]], a speedtalk-like langauage with a large phoneme inventory * [[X-4]], a speakable musical language * [[X-5]], an [[arithmographic language]] X-2 2070 52156 2010-03-05T20:47:08Z WeepingElf 43 <div class="boilerplate metadata" id="inuse" style="background: #fcc; border: 1px solid #aaa; margin: 0 2.5%; padding: 0 10px"> <font size="3">'''This project has been abandoned.'''</font><br /> </div> {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#666666" align="center" |'''X-2''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||n.a. |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||n.a. |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||n.a. |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||a priori experimental language |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||stack-based (superficially, VSO) |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: ||isolating |- |valign="top"|Morphosyntactic alignment: ||split-S |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#666666" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||[[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] ||2006 |} '''X-2''' is an [[X-languages|experimental language]] by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]. Like its older cousin [[X-1]], it is not meant to be [[naturalist artlang|naturalistic]] and has no conculture attached. The syntax of X-2 is not based on tree structures as in human natural languages (as well as in the vast majority of conlangs), but on a ''LIFO stack'', similar to the [[Wikipedia:Forth programming language|Forth]] programming language and Jeffrey Henning's [[Fith]]. Its syntactic approach, however, is quite different from Fith, despite using a stack like Fith does. X-2 does not distinguish between nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, but (like [[X-1]]) has only one single open word class encompassing all of these. It also features (again like [[X-1]]) a [[self-segregating morphology]]. Credits go to Raymond A. Brown for suggesting the kind of syntax used in X-2 in a discussion in the CONLANG mailing list in February 2005. X-2 is still very much under construction. ==Phonology== X-2 lacks labial consonants and rounded vowels and thus can be spoken without moving the lips. The orthography is strictly phonemic. ===Consonants=== {| || ||Alveolar ||Postalveolar ||Velar ||Glottal |- ||Voiceless stops ||'''t''' || ||'''k''' || |- ||Voiced stops ||'''d''' || ||'''g''' || |- ||Voiceless fricatives ||'''s''' ||'''c''' [ʃ] ||'''x''' ||'''h''' |- ||Voiced fricatives ||'''z''' ||'''j''' [ʒ] || || |- ||Click ||'''q''' [!] || || |- ||Lateral ||'''l''' || || || |- ||Trill ||'''r''' || || || |} ===Vowels=== {| || ||Front ||Central ||Back |- ||High ||'''i''' || ||'''u''' [ɯ] |- ||Mid ||'''e''' || ||'''o''' [ɤ] |- ||Low || ||'''a''' || |} All vowels (including the back ones) are unrounded. There are no length dístinctions and no diphthongs. ==Morphology== X-2 is an isolating language; there are no derivational or inflectional affixes. The morphology used is self-segregating. Each morpheme is an alternating sequence of consonants and vowels beginning and ending with a consonant. Thus, there are no vowel clusters and no consonant clusters ''within'' morphemes. On the other hand, all morpheme ''boundaries'' are marked by a consonant following a consonant. For example, the phoneme sequence '''galakturjeristol''' can only be broken up into morphemes as '''galak-tur-jeris-tol'''. There are three classes of words in X-2. One are the ''lexemes'', or content words. These have two or more syllables. The lexemes of X-2 correspond to nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in natural languages. Lexemes are pushed onto the stack. The lexemes are the only open word class in X-2. The second class of words are the ''relationals'', which express relations between lexemes. A relational pops expressions from the stack, combines them into a complex expression, and pushes that expression back onto the stack. The relationals can be likened to case endings and prepositions in human languages. However, they encode ''semantic'' roles rather than notions such as 'subject' or 'object'. The third (and smallest) word class in X-2 are the ''stack operators''. These do such things as duplicating the top item of the stack, swapping the topmost two items, and similar things. Morphemes of the shape CVCVC or longer are lexemes. Morphemes of the shape CVC are grammatical morphemes (relationals and stack operators). There is a single morpheme consisting of a single consonant: '''q''', which finishes a sentence. ===Relationals=== In the following definitions, 'E1' refers to the top expression on the stack and 'E2' to the expression immediately below it. '''cil''' E1 is attribute of E2.<br> '''dag''' E1 is agent of E2.<br> '''les''' E1 is patient of E2.<br> '''rut''' E1 is location of E2.<br> '''set''' E1 is source of E2.<br> '''tut''' E1 is goal of E2.<br> '''xaz''' E1 is part of E2.<br> '''zil''' E1 is possessor of E2. ===Stack operators=== '''dud''' doubles the top element of the stack.<br> '''kik''' discards the top element of the stack.<br> '''lit''' swaps the top two elements of the stack.<br> '''q''' finishes the sentence (popping the top expression from the stack).<br> ==Syntax== The syntax of X-2 is based on a ''stack'', i. e. a data structure supporting only two basic operations. Imagine, for example, a stack of cards. You can either ''push'' an item onto the top of the stack, or ''pop'' the top item from the stack. The stack used in X-2 holds ''expressions'' which are either single lexemes or multiple lexemes connected by relationals (see below). An expression can be the equivalent of a word, a phrase, a clause or a whole sentence. The stack-based syntax allows for many complicated syntactic rearrangements. Lexemes can be pushed onto the stack and left there for a long time before anything is done with them. ==Sample text== '''salat kakal cixil cil talag cil dag kahak jujur cil tohok xaz rut q'''<br> ''jump fox quick ATTR brown ATTR AGT dog lazy ATTR above PART LOC .''<br> 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'

("Coherent" will do, I suppose, if "cohesive" is out of my reach.) ----- I) Source of Pseudonym. The name "eldin raigmore" is a pseudonym. That's why I don't capitalize it. I borrowed it without asking from the novel (it's the hero's name) "World Out of Mind" by the Scottish S.F. writer J.T. McIntosh, whose middle initial might be I or L instead of T, and whose last name might be M'Intosh instead of McIntosh. {{seealso|see=[[http://www.booksandwriters.co.uk/website/page.asp?pagetext=writer&method=display&id=27697&bookmark=1&recordcount=1]]}} I would have asked, but I couldn't find out either the author's name nor the title of the novel until after I had already begun using it. Now it's easier to just keep using it unless and until somebody tells me I've violated someone's right to the name. If I have done so, I apologize, and will cease immediately; but I'm hoping and guessing it's O.K. ----- II) My personal linguistic history. I was born 1952 C.E. in City of Texarkana, Miller County, State of Arkansas, United States of America. I was raised until about age 21 mostly in City of Texarkana, Bowie County, State of Texas, United States of America. The East Texas version of American English is my L1 and various American Englishes are the only language everyone agrees I'm fluent in. In 1959 my parents decided to become missionaries. The (American) Methodist Board of Global Missions decided to send my father (then the only pathologist/coroner/medical examiner for the "Four States Area" -- the parts of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma that are nearest each other) -- to teach at the Christian Medical College and Hospital in City of Vellore, State of Tamil Nadu (then known as State of Madras), India. My parents went to Scarrett College in Nashville Tennesse to learn Urdu and Hindi. While we were there, we four children -- my older sister, me, my brother (younger than me), and our sister (the "baby" of the family) -- were all taught in experimental classes at teachers' colleges. I was taught Spanish, so I guess Spanish is my first L2. (My father could actually speak Spanish, including quoting poems; and my wife speaks Spanish well enough to be the one called to the phone by the medical-supply firms and law firms she works for. Me, I don't speak it so well.) We traveled to India, originally for a 2-year contract; but while there we extended it to a five-year contract. However, after just 19 months, we had to come home, because both of my parents had to be hospitalized. In India I attended two English-speaking schools. The one I attended most was Vidhyalayam, in the village of Bhagyam, a suburb of Vellore. All of the children in the Medical Compound (where foreign doctors, foreign hospital staff, foreign medical-college faculty, etc., lived) attended that school; and Indian families who worked at the College or Hospital and had an English-speaking child could send their children there, too. Almost all of our teachers were Indian ladies. All but the Principal were Christians. Not many people there were Americans, and only we were Southrons. My sister was asked to spell "Puzzle" by her Indian teacher and spelled it "Pea you zee zee ell ee". She was shocked and disconcerted to hear her teacher tell her that was "wrong". Her British classmates came to her defense; "No, Miss! American children say 'zee' instead of 'zed'!". So, in addition to learning about Seventh Day Adventists going to church on Saturday and not eating meat, and Australian doctors having trouble talking to Indian policemen [Dr.:"B-A-S-E." Cop:"B-I-S-E." Dr.:"No, 'A'! 'A', the first letter of the alphabet!" Cop:"But,.. 'I' isn't the first letter of the alphabet?!?"], and learning to spell "chapel" as "sea hech yay pea yee yell", I was taught Hindi and Tamil. So Tamil and Hindi are my second and third L2s. We were in a Tamil-speaking area so I picked up a lot of Tamil vocabulary and can still read and pronounce some Tamil script and understand some Tamil words. Most of it has faded, however. I was not at an age where I was worried about grammar at all, so I doubt I learned any Tamil grammar. Nobody spoke Hindi where we lived. Most people would fall back on English whenever Tamil didn't work; most of the rest would do the reverse, falling back on Tamil whenever English didn't work. So my Hindi education was no better than my Spanish education. My parents, however, both learned Tamil quite well. After 19 months, everyone in the family had at least one illness (my brother had two). Most of these were perfectly treatable in India (except my father's lung infection). Most of them could be contracted in America (especially including my father's lung infection). None of the children needed to be hospitalized; but, since both of the parents did, and my father had to return to America, it was thought we should all return to Texas. In High School, Junior College, and College I took French. I got good enough at it to make my way around in Turkey among people who had no other language in common with me. So I guess French is my fourth L2. My father could actually speak French. In Graduate School I took Scientific and Technical Reading German and S&TR Russian. I translated a paper by Felix W. Hausdorf for my German teacher. The hard part was, when I translated "unabzahlbar" as "uncountable" or "nondenumerable", he still didn't know what it meant. In situations where I try to speak German among many people who speak it much better than I, I get told "eldin, you don't speak German!" But, if I claim not to speak it, and then meet a Polish lady who speaks German but not English, and translate between her and the rest of the group, I get asked, "eldin, why didn't you tell us you can speak German?" Maybe that will give you an idea how good/bad my German is; I can't pass for either a German-speaker or a non-German-speaker. As for Russian, I can pronounce and understand a few Cyrillic words. I guess my Tamil's probably a tad better than my Russian. So my fifth and sixth L2s are German and Russian. I made friends with another graduate student who was born in Taiwan and married an American man. They made me their daughter's god-father. They brought the baby's mother's parents from Taiwan to live with them. The grandfather spoke English, but the grandmother spoke only Chinese. Another graduate student -- a Japanese-born American with a Finnish surname -- was trying to teach me to read Spaceship Yamamoto, while my god-daughter, my compadre, my commadre, and the rest of that family, were teaching me Chinese. Maybe I have a little Chinese as a seventh L2. I'm not sure I should really claim all seven of these as L2s. I have had conversations only in English, French, and German (I suspect my French is as good/bad as my German -- I can't convince people I speak it, and I can't convince them I don't). I have read an occasional sign in Spanish, Tamil, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese -- quite unreliably in some cases. I mean, even in French --- drive around Quebec and you see these big arrows pointing down the street with the word "DIRECTION" written on them. What are you supposed to think? "Yeah, that's a direction, all right. --- so, what?" ----- {{Babel-X|en|de-1|fr-1}} [[Adpihi]] [[Reptigan]] [[Vampiric]] Template:Vowels 2073 53079 2010-04-21T19:41:39Z Qwynegold 1225 <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || {{IPA|y}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɯ}} || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-high || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ʊ}} || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || {{IPA|e}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|o}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || || || {{IPA|ə}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || {{IPA|ɛ}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɔ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-low || || || {{IPA|æ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> Template:Seealso 2074 14771 2006-10-23T01:59:24Z Denihilonihil 119 ::''See also [[{{{1}}}]] for more information'' Fith 2075 7447 2006-02-24T11:42:19Z WeepingElf 43 {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |<font color="#000000"><big>'''Fith'''</big></font> |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||planet Fithia |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: || |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: || |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||Fithian<br> &nbsp; '''Fith''' |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |<font color="#000000"><big>'''Created by:'''</big></font> |- ||Jeffrey Henning ||1996-2005 |} '''Fith''' is a stack-based alien language invented by Jeffrey Henning.

Born to the [[House of the Lein]], a powerful aristocratic family in the north, he led a revolt against the reigning [[Hara Dynasty]], owing to a dispute over annual tributes which resulted in the execution of several family members, and after nine years of war managed to supplant the Hara Dynasty with his own house. Besides being the founding Tairazun of the dynasty, Lein Durun is also extremely significant to the history of the [[Tarakasa|Tarakasane]] as a whole, in terms of his role in centralising the dynasty and bringing an end to the semi-feudal imperial system that previous Tarakasa dynasties had embraced. This general policy of centralisation, rather than delegation of lands to relatives for administration, would set in motion a process culminating in the massive reforms of the [[Four Great Tairazunen]], and especially [[Lein Sora berAthain]].

A common image in the mythology and religion of the northern Empire, where Durun himself hailed from, the Variska was a guardian beast created to watch over mankind and defend the weak from injustice. The throne itself is a large, golden chair, made to fit at least three people - the Emperor, the Empress at his left, and the Crown Prince if he was not old enough to have his own seat, in the middle; behind the throne is a gold and silver statue of the Variska, whose wings formed the back of the throne, and its three heads looking upwards in three directions. Another intriguing feature of the throne is the vast, white rug, made of white ferret pelts, which was draped over the wings of the Variska all the time. This had its origin in a hunt which Lein Durun had, a month before he started his rebellion, and when he was still undecided about the viability of opposing the Har regime and starting his own realm; hitting an eagle over a crag, he climbed the crag to retrieve the carcass only to see that the eagle had an albino ferret in its claws. (Albino ferrets, being extremely rare, were often taken as portents of great fortune or immense misfortune in the Empire.) Taking the sign to be for the good, Durun finally set his mind on rebellion; and when he finally took on the title of Emperor, he ordered that such a coat of pelts be made, and draped over the throne as a personal reminder of the will of Heaven which backed his legitimacy, and the drape has been there ever since. ==Imperial Sceptre== The Imperial Sceptre is the symbol of the Emperor's status as supreme commander of all military forces within the Empire, and is nearly two feet long.

The language is attested only from a small number of early mediaeval runic stone inscriptions found in the area. The name 'Alfheimian' is based on ''Alfheim'', a historical designation of the region where the inscriptions were found. It is not chosen without afterthought: the region was probably named because [[British Elves|Elves]] lived there - whose dialect apparently evolved into Alfheimian. Analysis of the inscriptions easily reveals that Alfheimian was an [[Albic]] language.

If English were SOV, then "Sam oranges ate" would be an ordinary sentence. Among natural languages, SOV is the most common type. It corresponds roughly to [[reverse Polish notation]] in computer languages. The SOV languages include [[Turkish]], [[Japanese]], [[Korean]], [[Manchu]], [[Mongolian]], [[Ainu]], [[Nivkh]], [[Persian]], [[Pashto]], [[Kurdish]], [[Burushaski]], [[Basque]], [[Latin]], [[Burmese]], [[Tibetan]], [[Amharic]], [[Tigrinya]], [[Abkhaz]], [[Abaza]], [[Adyghe]], [[Kabardian]], [[Sumerian]], [[Akkadian]], [[Elamite]], [[Hittite]], [[Navajo]], [[Hopi]], [[Aymara]], [[Quechua]], [[Pali]], [[Nepali]], [[Sinhalese]] and most [[Indian languages]]. [[German]] is basically SVO, but employs SOV in subordinate clauses. [[Dutch]] does this as well but also employs it in certain independent clauses. See [[V2 word order]]. [[French]], [[Portuguese]] and [[Spanish]] are SVO, but use SOV when a pronoun is used as the (direct or indirect) object: e.g., "Sam a mang&eacute; des oranges", "Sam comeu laranjas" or "Sam comió naranjas" (Sam ate oranges) would become "Sam les a mang&eacute;es", "Sam as comeu" or "Sam las comió" (Sam them ate). This type of ordering is sometimes (although rarely) used in English under [[poetic license]], especially in works of [[William Shakespeare]]. SOV languages tend to have the adjectives before nouns, to use [[postposition]]s rather than [[preposition]]s, to place relative clauses before the nouns to which they refer, and to place auxiliary verbs after the action verb. Some have special [[grammatical particle|particle]]s to distinguish the subject and the object, such as the Japanese ''ga'' and ''o''. SOV languages also seem to exhibit a tendency towards using a [[Time Manner Place|Time-Manner-Place]] ordering of prepositional phrases. An example in [[Japanese]] is: &#31169;&#12399;&#31665;&#12434;&#38283;&#12369;&#12414;&#12377;&#12290;(watashi wa hako wo akemasu.) meaning "I open a/the box/boxes." In this sentence, &#31169; (watashi) is the subject (or more specifically, topic) meaning "I" as in first person singular, and it is followed by the &#12399; (wa) topic-marker. &#31665; (hako) is the object meaning box (in Japanese no distinction is made between whether a word uses "a" or "the", or plural or singular unless specifically stated), followed by &#12434; (wo) which is the object-marker in Japanese. &#38283;&#12369;&#12414;&#12377; (akemasu) is the polite non-past form of the verb which means "to open" and is at the end of the sentence. Although [[Latin]] was an [[inflected language]], the most usual word order was SOV. An example would be: "servus puellam amat", meaning "The slave loves the girl." In this sentence, "servus" is the subject, "puellam" is the object and "amat" is the verb. ==See also== * [[Topic-prominent language]] * [[Verb Subject Object]] * [[Subject Verb Object]] {{wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Subject Object Verb]] X-3 2101 49904 2009-10-25T18:07:48Z WeepingElf 43 {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#666666" align="center" |'''X-3''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||n.a. |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||n.a. |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||n.a. |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||a priori experimental language |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||VSO |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: ||agglutinating, polysynthetic |- |valign="top"|Morphosyntactic alignment: ||to be determined |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#666666" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||[[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] ||2006 |} '''X-3''' is an [[X-languages|experimental language]] by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]].

Although Dethric is a Hesperidian language, it branched off from the original family considerably early and had developed sufficiently on its own to have become mutually unintelligible with other dalects originally spoken on Dethria by the time of the expansion into Canthres, of which pioneers the "dialect" was the dominant tongue. It is, however, traditionally considered to be the successor to the earliest attested (written) language on the continent of Dethria, largely for historical reasons ''(see [[#Early Dethric and Dethrian Dark Ages|below]])''. Dethric is properly a member of the [[South Hesperidian languages|South Hesperidian]] language sub-family, but bears closer resemblance at first sight to members of the [[Arophanic languages|Arophanic]] family due to considerable borrowing of both lexical and grammatical items and structures from the [[Classical Arithide]] of the [[Lazeian Empire]]. ==History== ===Early Dethric and Dethrian Dark Ages=== {{seealso|#Early syllabary}} ===Hagea-Vichau rivalry=== ===Influence of Lazeian Empire and subsequent Middle Dethric=== The Dethric of the Dark Ages was to become Middle Dethric through the rejuvenating influence of the Lazeian Empire, the world's richest and most powerful state at the time. With its rich philosophical heritage and diverse expressive possibilities, Classical Arithide greatly enriched the Dethric tongue, much as French did for English in the centuries after the Norman conquest. Previously obscure concepts were now introduced, and the language gained a significant degree of subtlety, nuance and variation. In addition to that, writing was also reintroduced to the Dethrians, with the [[Lazeian alphabet]] modified and adapted for the sounds of Dethric. {{seealso|#Lazeian alphabet}} ===Dethric in modern times=== {{seealso|#Spelling reform}} ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="margin-left: 50px; text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=19 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Uvular ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || <span style="color: #afafaf;">{{IPA|ɱ}}</span> || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || <span style="color: #afafaf;">{{IPA|ɲ}}</span> || || <span style="color: #afafaf;">{{IPA|ŋ}}</span> |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || || || || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || {{IPA|θ}} || {{IPA|ð}} || {{IPA|s}} || {{IPA|z}} || {{IPA|ʃ}} || {{IPA|ʒ}} || || || || {{IPA|ɣ}}</span> || || || {{IPA|h}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || {{IPA|w}} || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} </div> ====Fricativised plosives==== All historic plosives have been fricativised, and are so reflected in the orthography (historic {{IPA|[g]}} has been lost except before front vowels). Where the velar plosives ({{IPA|[k], [g]}}) appear they have been reduced from labialised velars ({{IPA|[kʷ], [gʷ]}}); a {{IPA|[g]}} before an {{IPA|[n]}} generally assimilates in nasality. The voiceless alveolar fricative phoneme ({{IPA|[s]}}) also varies sporadically to its voiced counterpart intervocalically, and when occurring as the last sound in a word, plosivises (de-fricativises) the following fricative if there is one, e.g. "anas thumen" is pronounced {{IPA|[ɐˈnastʊmɞn]}}; the palatal fricative ({{IPA|[ʃ]}}) is uncommon but occurrent. The above consonants may geminate (although gemination of {{IPA|[v], [g]}} and {{IPA|[ð]}} are rare); the voiceless glottal fricative phoneme ({{IPA|[h]}}), which occurs only word-initially and has been lost intervocalically, may not. ====Sonorants==== The lateral approximant ({{IPA|[l]}}) is what is known as a "clear l", The nasal stops ({{IPA|[m], [n]}}) may assimilate regressively to each other or the following consonant (the velar nasal is an allophone of the alveolar nasal). The trill approximant ({{IPA|[r]}}) is akin to the Italian. ===Vowels=== ''(table here)'' ''(vowel variation + evolution from basic vowels)'' (note see also reductionism) ====Reductionism==== Dethric vowels have been affected by reductionism, and this change is most apparent in the orthography (and especially in romanisation), where modern monophthongs are represented by digraphs depicting historical diphthongs, and reduced vowels are represented by glyphs historically denoting full-quality sounds. Stressed vowels may lengthen slightly. The unrounded low vowel varies between central and back position; the close-mid front vowel may vary to open-mid position; all non-high vowels potentially reduce even further to a schwa. Vowels may exert harmonising influence on one another, although this process has generally become significantly less productive in recent years. ==Writing and orthography== ===Early syllabary=== ===Alistrian alphabet=== ===Lazeian alphabet=== ===Spelling reform=== Before, Dethric was spelt much as it was pronounced in the [[Dethrian Middle Ages]], despite the major changes that spoken Dethric had undergone (q.v. above), leading to a situation where Dethric fricatives were spelt with letters that represented plosives, while extant letters for fricatives in the alphabet lay unused. This disjuncture with the rest of the Lazeian world created the impetus for a major spelling overhaul, conveniently helped by a disruptive war with its neighbours (see [[War of the Red Letters]]). ==Grammar== ===Morphology, morphosyntax and word order=== ===Nouns and pronouns=== ====Declensions==== ===Verbs=== ====Aspect, mood and tense==== ====Causativity and transitivity==== ===Adjectives and adverbs=== ==Sample text and translation== {{stub}} [[Category:Ilethes]] [[Category:Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category:Languages of Ilethes]] Proto-Coric 2103 56091 2010-09-17T19:42:42Z WeepingElf 43 <div class="boilerplate metadata" id="inuse" style="background: #fcc; border: 1px solid #aaa; margin: 0 2.5%; padding: 0 10px"> <font size="3">'''This project has been abandoned.'''</font><br /> </div> {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#FF6666" align="center" |'''Proto-Coric''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||British Isles |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||[[League of Lost Languages]] |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||extinct |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||[[Coric]]<br> &nbsp;'''Proto-Coric''' |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||VSO |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: ||fusional |- |valign="top"|Morphosyntactic alignment: ||ergative |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#FF6666" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||[[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]||2006- |} '''Proto-Coric''' is the reconstructed common ancestor of the [[Coric]] languages; it probably was spoken about 5000 years ago in the British Isles.

Subject Verb Object 2106 46605 2009-06-26T10:14:45Z Tropylium 756 [[XX language]] > [[XX]] In [[linguistic typology]], '''subject-verb-object''' ('''SVO''') is a sentence structure where the [[subject]] comes first, the [[verb]] second, and the [[object]] third. Languages are classified according to the dominant sequence of these constituents of sentences. This sequence is the most common. [[English]], [[Chinese]], [[Taiwanese]], [[Vietnamese]], [[Thai]], [[Khmer]], the [[Romance languages]], [[Russian]], [[Bulgarian]], [[Kiswahili]], [[Hausa]], [[Yoruba]], [[Nahuatl]], [[Quiche]], [[Guaraní]], [[Javanese]], [[Malay]] and [[Indonesian]] are examples of languages that follow this pattern. An example of this order in English is: :''Sam ate the oranges.'' In this, ''Sam'' is the subject, ''ate'' is the verb, ''the oranges'' is the object. Some languages are more complicated: in [[German]] and in [[Dutch]], SVO is often considered basic since this is the unmarked order in declarative main clauses. However, any other constituent may come before the verb instead of the subject which then must follow immediately after the verb. Furthermore, in certain subordinated sentences as well as in infinitive phrases, the verb comes last, as do removable parts of the verb in declarative main clauses. This is called [[V2 word order]]. {{wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Subject Verb Object]] Linguistic typology 2107 46651 2009-06-26T12:18:39Z Tropylium 756 /* Subject-Verb-Object positioning */ link cleanup '''Linguistic typology''' is the [[typology]] that [[classifies]] languages by their features. Linguistic typology includes [[Morphological typology|morphological]], syntactic (sometimes "morphosyntactic"), and phonological typology. Typological classification of languages contrasts with the more familiar '''genetic''' classification into families that share an ancestor language (see [[historical linguistics]]). A genetic class is a language ''family'', while a typological class is a language ''type''. Research on typology often overlaps with research on [[linguistic universal]]s. ==Typological systems== ===Subject-Verb-Object positioning=== One set of types is determined by the basic order of subject, verb, and object in sentences: *[[Subject Verb Object]] *[[Subject Object Verb]] *[[Verb Subject Object]] *[[Verb Object Subject]] *[[Object Subject Verb]] *[[Object Verb Subject]] These are usually abbreviated SVO and so forth, and may be called just "typologies" of the languages to which they apply. Some languages split verbs into an auxiliary and an infinitive or participle, and put the subject or object between them. For instance, German ("Im Wald ''habe'' ich einen Fuchs ''gesehen''" - *"In-the wood have I a fox seen"), Dutch ("Hans ''vermoedde'' dat Jan Piet Marie ''zag leren zwemmen''" - *"Hans suspected that Jan Piet Marie saw teach swim") and Welsh ("''Mae''<nowiki>'</nowiki>r gwirio sillafu wedi'i ''gwblhau''" - *"Is the check spelling after to complete"). In this case, typology is based on the non-analytic tenses (i.e. those sentences in which the verb is not split) or the position of the auxiliary. German is thus SVO/VSO (without "im Wald" the subject would go first) in main clauses and Welsh is VSO (and O would go after the infinitive). Both German and Dutch are often classified as [[V2 word order|V2]] languages, as the verb invariantly occurs as the second element of a full clause. Some languages that are [[Inflected language|inflected]] are difficult to classify in the SVO typological system, because virtually any ordering of verb, object, and subject is possible and correct. All we can do for such languages is find out which word order is the most frequent. For example, in a non-inflected language, the subject and object of a sentence are determined by word order; in an inflected language, the determination may be made by [[affix]]es applied to nouns to designate their grammatical roles. In such a system, fixed word order is not necessary to determine meaning (although highly inflected languages do sometimes develop normative word orders). Inflected languages without a fixed word order include [[Word order in Latin|Latin]], [[Polish]], and [[Greek]]. ===Ergative-accusative=== Another common classification is according to whether a language is [[Accusative case|accusative]] or [[Ergative-absolutive language|ergative]]. In a language with [[noun case|case]]s, the classification depends on whether the subject of an intransitive verb has the same case as the subject or the object of a transitive verb. If a language has no cases, but is SVO or OVS, then the classification depends on whether the subject of an intransitive verb is on the same side as the subject or the object of the transitive verb. Many languages show mixed accusative and ergative behaviour (e.g. ergative morphology marking the verb arguments, on top of an accusative syntax). Other languages (called "[[active language|active languages]]") have two types of intransitive verbs&mdash;some of them ("active verbs") join the subject in the same case as the subject of a transitive verb, and the rest ("stative verbs") join the subject in the same case as the object. Yet other languages behave ergatively only in some contexts (this is called [[split ergativity]], and is usually based on the grammatical person of the arguments or in the tense/aspect of the verb). For example, only some verbs in [[Georgian language|Georgian]] behave this way, and, as a rule, only while the tense called [[aorist]] is used.

It represents one type of languages when classifying languages according to the sequence of these constitutents in neutral expressions: ''Ate Sam oranges''. The word order roughly corresponds to the order of symbols in (non-reverse) [[Polish notation]] or the S-expressions of the [[Lisp programming language]]. Examples of languages with VSO word order include the [[Goidelic languages|Gaelic branch]] of the [[Celtic languages|Celtic language family]] (namely [[Irish language|Irish]], [[Scottish Gaelic]] and [[Manx]]), related [[Welsh]] (the only VSO [[Brythonic languages|Brythonic language]]), [[Ancient Egyptian]], [[Aramaic]], [[Biblical Hebrew]], [[Phoenician]], [[Canaanite]], [[Ge'ez]], [[Classic Maya]], [[Tagalog]], [[Hawai'ian]], [[Maori]] and [[Tongan]]. Even though [[Arabic]] originally had VSO word order, it is now usually more understood with SVO, especially [[Egyptian Arabic]] and [[Moroccan Arabic]]. == Inversion into VSO == There are many languages which switch from SVO ([[Subject Verb Object]]) order to VSO order with different constructions, usually for emphasis. For example, sentences in [[English]] poetry can sometimes be found to have a VSO order; [[French]] questions may reverse the order of the subject and verb into the VSO order (although this is not required); and [[Arabic]] sentences use a SVO order or a VSO order depending on whether the subject or the verb is more important. Non-VSO languages that use VSO word order in [[question]]s include [[Dutch]] and many [[Germanic languages]], [[French]], and [[Spanish]]. == See also == *[[Subject Object Verb]] *[[Subject Verb Object]] {{wikipedia}} Verb Object Subject 2109 7719 2006-03-03T05:44:58Z Denihilonihil 119 copy from Wikipedia '''Verb Object Subject''' - commonly used in its abbreviated form '''VOS''' - is a term in [[Linguistic typology]].

Examples include [[Malagasy]], (Old) [[Javanese language|Javanese]], [[Toba]] [[Batak]] and [[Fijian language|Fijian]]. Note that these three languages are all [[Austronesian languages]]. This word order is also found in Mayan languages like [[Tzotzil]]. {{wikipedia}} Tzotzil 2110 47618 2009-07-23T14:15:47Z Tropylium 756 rm redlinks, cat:OT The '''Tzotzil''' Maya of the central highlands of the [[Mexico|Mexican]] state of Chiapas are a Native American group, the direct descendants of the [[Maya Civilization|Classic Maya]]. Tzotzil, along with [[Tzeltal language|Tzeltal]] and [[Ch'ol|Ch'ol]] is descended from the proto-Ch'ol spoken in the late classic period at sites such as Palenque and Yaxchilan. Today, the largest Tzotzil municipalities are Chamula and Zinacantan. The word "tzotzil" means "people of wool" (tzotz = wool in the Tzotzil language). Tzotzil people make their clothing primarily out of wool. However, according to ancient Maya language, "tzotzil" could also be translated as "bat people", given the association of their culture with this animal in the view of the Mayas. The Tzotziles were for centuries exploited by Europeans as laborers on coffee and sugar plantations, particularly in the central valleys of the state. With the collapse of coffee prices in the 1980s, sustainable employment has been hard for many people in the highlands to find. As both population and foreign tourism have risen, the sale of artisan goods has replaced other economic activities. Tzotziles usually sell their products in the nearby cities of San Cristobal de las Casas, Comitán, and Simojovel. Recently, and increasingly, many Maya from the highlands of Chiapas have found migration to other parts of Mexico, and illegal immigration to the United States a way to break away from [[subsistence farming]] and abysmal wages. There still exist some racial/cultural integration issues, especially with white people, mestizos, and westernized Indians (all called ladinos"). Also, most of the enrollment source for the Zapatista guerrilla are tzotziles. The Tzotzil dialect of the Mayan language had about 350,000 speakers as of 2002. ==References== *{{cite book | author=Laughlin, Robert M. | title=The great Tzotzil dictionary of San Lorenzo Zinacantán | publisher=Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press | year=1975 }} {{stub}} {{wikipedia|Tzotzil}} [[Category:Off topic]] Object Subject Verb 2111 10109 2006-06-03T05:56:52Z Muke 1 categ grammar, '''Object Subject Verb''' (OSV) is one of the permutations of expression used in [[Linguistic typology]]. OSV denotes the sequence "Object Subject Verb" in neutral expressions: ''Oranges Sam ate.'' It is a notation used when classifying languages according to the dominant sequence of these constitutents. This sequence is rare. One example of a language that uses it is [[Xavante language|Xavante]]. It is also found in some other languages of Brazil, including [[Jamamadi language|Jamamadi]], [[Apurinã language|Apurinã]], [[Kayabí language|Kayabí]] and [[Nadëb language|Nadëb]]. [[Sardinia|Sardinians]] very often use OSV while speaking in Italian. Many non-Sardinian speakers in Italy find this "Sardinian Italian Accent" very funny. This structure may on occasion be seen in English, usually in the future tense or with the conjunction "but", such as in the following examples: "To Rome I shall go!", "I hate oranges, but apples I'll eat!" This word order appears in a number of [[constructed language]]s, such as [[Teonaht]], as it is often chosen by language inventors for its exotic sound. The [[Star Wars]] character [[Yoda]] speaks in a modified form of this word order. This word order is also used in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' by [[Bowyer]]. {{wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Object Subject Verb]] [[Category:Grammar]] Constructed language 2112 48209 2009-08-08T00:08:47Z Tropylium 756 /* Overview */ linkfixes An '''artificial''' or '''constructed language''' (known colloquially as a '''[[conlang]]''' among aficionados), is a [[language]] whose [[phonology]], [[grammar]] and [[vocabulary]] are specifically devised by an individual or small group, rather than having naturally evolved as part of a [[culture]] the way [[natural language]]s do. Some are designed for use in human [[communication]] (usually to function as [[international auxiliary language]]s), but others are created for use in fiction, [[linguistics|linguistic]] experimentation, secrecy ([[code]]s), or for the experience of doing so ([[artistic language]]s, [[Language game (linguistics)|language games]]). These languages are sometimes associated with [[constructed world]]s. The synonym '''''planned language''''' is sometimes used when referring to [[international auxiliary language]]s, and by those who may object to the more common term "artificial". Some speakers of [[Esperanto]] avoid the term "artificial language" because they deny that there is something "unnatural" in communicating in this language. However, outside the [[Esperanto community]] the term [[language planning]] refers to prescriptive measures taken regarding a natural language. In this regard, even "natural languages" may be submitted to a certain amount of artificiality, and in the case of [[prescriptive grammar]]s, the line is difficult to draw. ==Overview == Constructed languages are often divided into '''''[[a priori]]'' languages''', in which much of the grammar and vocabulary is created from scratch (using the author's imagination or automatic computational means), and '''''[[a posteriori]]'' languages''', where the grammar and vocabulary are derived from one or more natural languages. Fictional and experimental languages can also be naturalistic, in the sense that they are meant to sound natural and, if derived ''a posteriori'', they try to follow natural rules of [[phonology|phonological]], lexical and [[grammar|grammatical]] change. Since these languages are not usually intended for easy learning or communication, a naturalistic fictional language tends to be more difficult and complex, not less (because it tries to mimic common behaviours of natural languages such as irregular verbs and nouns, complicated phonological rules, etc.). In light of the above, most constructed languages can broadly be divided as follows: * '''Engineered languages''' (''[[engelang]]s''), further subdivided into '''philosophical languages''' and '''logical languages''' (''loglangs'') - devised for the purpose of experimentation in [[logic]] or [[philosophy]] * '''Auxiliary languages''' (''[[auxlang]]s'') - devised for international communication (also IALs, for International Auxiliary Language) * '''Artistic languages''' (''[[artlang]]s'') - devised to create aesthetic pleasure The boundaries between these categories, however, are by no means clear. For example, for some fictional auxiliary languages, and also some constructed languages, it is hard to decide whether they are "artistic" or "engineered". A constructed language can have native speakers if children learn it at an early age from parents who have learned the language. [[Esperanto]] has a considerable number of [[Native Esperanto speakers|native speakers]], variously estimated to be between 200 and 2000. A member of the [[Klingon Language Institute]], [[d'Armond Speers]], attempted to raise his son as a native (bilingual with English) [[Klingon language|Klingon]] speaker. Evan Robertson, the creator of [[Mosro]], successfully taught the language to his four youngest children. However, as soon as a constructed language ''does'' have a number of native speakers, it begins to evolve, and thereby loses its constructed status over time. For example Modern [[Hebrew]] was modelled on Biblical Hebrew rather than engineered from scratch, and has undergone considerable changes since the state of [[Israel]] was founded in 1948. Proponents of particular constructed languages often have many reasons for using them. Among these, the famous but disputed [[Sapir-Whorf hypothesis]] is often cited; this claims that the language one speaks influences the way in which one thinks. Thus, a "better" language should allow the speaker to reach some elevated level of intelligence, or to encompass more diverse points of view. In the [[CONLANG]] Mailing List, a community of [[conlanger]]s has developed, which has its own customs, such as [[translation relay]]s. ==History== Grammatical speculation is documented from [[Classical Antiquity]], with [[Plato]]'s ''[[Cratylus]]''. However the suggested mechanisms of grammar were designed to explain existing languages ([[Latin]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Sanskrit]]), and not aiming at constructing new grammars. Roughly contemporary to Plato, in his descriptive grammar of Sanskrit, [[Pāṇini]] constructed a meta-linguistic formalism, so that the text of his grammar may be considered a mixture of natural and constructed language. The earliest non-natural languages were not so much considered "constructed" as "super-natural" or mystical. The [[Lingua Ignota]], recorded in the 12th century by St [[Hildegard of Bingen]] is an example of this, apparently it is a form of private mystical [[cant (language)|cant]] (see also [[language of angels]]). Kabbalistic grammatical speculation was directed at recovering the original language spoken by Adam and Eve in Paradise, lost in the [[confusion of tongues]]. The first Christian project for an ideal language is outlined in [[Dante Alighieri]]'s ''[[De vulgari eloquentia]]'', where he searches for the ideal Italian vernacular suited for literature. [[Ramon Llull|Raymond Lull]]'s ''Ars magna'' was a project of a perfect language with which the infidels could be convinced of the truth of the Christian faith. It was basically an application of combinatorics on a given set of concepts. During the [[Renaissance]], Lullian and Kabbalistic ideas were carried ''ad absurdum'' in a [[Magical thinking|magical]] context, resulting in [[cryptography|cryptographic]] applications. The [[Voynich manuscript]] may be an example of this. Renaissance interest in [[Ancient Egypt]], notably the discovery of the ''[[Hieroglyphica]]'' of [[Horapollo]], and first encounters with the [[Chinese script]] directed efforts towards a perfect language of written characters. [[Johannes Trithemius]], in his works ''Steganographia'' and ''Polygraphia'', attempted to show how all languages can be reduced to one. In the 17th century, interest in [[Magical thinking|magical]] languages was continued by the [[Rosicrucians]] and [[Alchemy|Alchemists]] (like [[John Dee]]). [[Jakob Boehme]] in 1623 spoke of a "natural language" (''Natursprache'') of the senses. [[Musical language]]s from the Renaissance were tied up with [[mysticism]], magic and alchemy, sometimes also referred to as the [[language of the birds]]. The [[Solresol]] project of 1817 re-invented the concept in a more pragmatic context. The 17th century also saw the rise of projects for "philosophical" or "a priori" languages. Pioneered by [[Francis Lodwick]]'s ''A Common Writing'' (1647) and ''The Groundwork or Foundation laid (or So Intended) for the Framing of a New Perfect Language and a Universal Common Writing'' (1652), [[George Dalgarno]] (''Ars signorum'', 1661) and [[John Wilkins]] (''Essay towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language'', 1668) produced systems of hierarchical classification that were intended to result in both spoken and written expression. [[Gottfried Leibniz]] with ''lingua generalis'' in 1678 pursued a similar end, aiming at a lexicon of characters upon which the user might perform calculations that would yield true propositions automatically, as a side-effect developing binary calculus. These projects were not only occupied with reducing or modelling grammar, but also with the arrangement of all human knowledge into "characters" or hierarchies, an idea that with the [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]] would ultimately lead to the ''[[Encyclopédie]]''. Leibniz and the encyclopedists realized that it is impossible to organize human knowledge unequivocally in a tree diagram, and consequently to construct an ''a priori'' language based on such a classification of concepts. Under the entry ''Charact&egrave;re'', [[D'Alembert]] critically reviewed the projects of philosophical languages of the preceding century. From the ''Encyclopédie'', projects for ''a priori'' languages moved more and more to the lunatic fringe. Individual authors, typically unaware of the history of the idea, continued to propose taxonomic philosophical languages until the early [[20th century]] (e.g. [[Ro]]), but most recent [[engineered language]]s have had more modest goals; some are limited to a specific field, like mathematical formalism or calculus (e.g. [[Lincos]] and [[programming language]]s), others are designed for eliminating syntactical ambiguity (e.g., [[Loglan]] and [[Lojban]]) or maximizing conciseness (e.g., [[Ithkuil]]). Already in the ''Encyclopédie'' attention began to focus on ''a posteriori'' auxiliary languages. [[Joachim Faiguet]] in the article on ''Langue'' already wrote a short proposition of a "laconic" or regularized grammar of [[French]]. During the [[19th century]], a bewildering variety of such International Auxiliary Languages (IALs) were proposed, so that [[Louis Couturat]] and [[Leopold Leau]] in ''Historire de la langue universelle'' (1903) could review 38 projects. The first of these that made any international impact was [[Volapük]], proposed in 1879 by [[Johann Martin Schleyer]], and within a decade, 283 Volapükist clubs were counted all over the globe. However, this language by its very success lost its unity, and within a few years, fell into obscurity, making way for [[Esperanto]], proposed in 1887 by [[L. L. Zamenhof|Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof]], the most successful IAL to date. [[Loglan]] (1955) and its descendants constitute a pragmatic return to the aims of the ''a priori'' languages, tempered by the requirement of usability of an auxiliary language. Artistic languages, constructed for literary enjoyment or aesthetic reasons without any claim of usefulness, begin to appear in Early Modern literature (in [[Gargantua and Pantagruel|Pantagruel]], and in [[Utopia]]n contexts), but they only seem to gain notability as serious projects from the [[20th century]]. ''[[A Princess of Mars]]'' by [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] was possibly the first fiction of the 20th century to feature a constructed language. [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] was the first to develop a family of related fictional languages and was the first academic to publicly discuss artistic languages, admitting to ''[[A Secret Vice]]'' of his in 1930 at an Esperanto congress. ([[George Orwell]]'s ''[[Newspeak]]'' should be considered a parody of an IAL rather than an artistic language proper.) By the turn of the [[21st century]], it had become common for science-fiction and fantasy works set in other worlds to feature constructed languages, and constructed languages are a regular part of movies of the genre, including ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Star Trek]]'', ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' and ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]''. == See also == * [[List of constructed languages]] * [[Universal language]] * Language construction ** [[CONLANG]], [[conlanger]] ** [[List of language regulators|Language regulator]] ** [[Language Construction Kit]] ** [[Language game (linguistics)]] ** [[Artificial script]] * Language modelling and translation ** [[Language translation]] ** [[Knowledge representation]] ** [[Translation relay]] ** [[Universal grammar]] ** [[Metalanguage]] * Prescriptive grammar ** [[Language planning]] ** [[Linguistic protectionism]] ** [[List of language regulators]] ** [[Spelling reform]] ** [[Pāṇini]] ** [[Duden]], [[German spelling reform of 1996]] * Spontaneous emergence of grammar ** [[Glottogony]] ** [[Pidgin]] ** [[Poto and Cabengo]] ** [[June and Jennifer Gibbons]] * Mystical languages ** [[Glossolalia]] ** [[Language of the birds]] == References == * [[Alan Libert]], ''A Priori Artificial Languages''.

Whereas [[phonetics]] is about the physical production and [[perception]] of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages. An important part of phonology is studying which sounds are distinctive units within a language. In [[English_language|English]], for example, /p/ and /b/ are distinctive units of sound, (i.e., they are ''[[phoneme]]s'' /the difference is ''phonemic''). This can be seen from [[minimal pair]]s such as "pin" and "bin", which mean different things, but differ only in one sound. On the other hand, /p/ is often [[pronunciation|pronounced]] differently depending on its position relative to other sounds, yet these different pronunciations are still considered by [[native speakers]] to be the same "sound". For example, the /p/ in "pin" is [[Aspiration|aspirated]] while the same phoneme in "spin" is not. In some other languages, eg [[Thai]] and [[Quechua]], this same difference of aspiration or non-aspiration does differentiate phonemes. In addition to the minimal meaningful sounds (the phonemes), phonology studies how sounds alternate, such as the /p/ in English described above, and topics such as [[syllable structure]], [[stress]], [[accent]], and [[intonation]]. The principles of phonological theory have also been applied to the analysis of [[sign language|signed languages]], with [[gestures]] and their relationships as the object of study. ==Representing phonemes== The [[writing systems]] of some languages are based on the phonemic principle of having one [[letter]] (or combination of letters) per [[phoneme ]] and vice-versa. Ideally, speakers can correctly write whatever they can say, and can correctly read anything that is written. (In practice, this ideal is never realized.) However in English, different spellings can be used for the same phoneme (e.g., ''rude'' and ''food'' have the same [[vowel]] sounds), and the same letter (or combination of letters) can represent different phonemes (e.g., the "th" [[consonant]] sounds of ''thin'' and ''this'' are different). In order to avoid this confusion based on [[orthography]], phonologists represent phonemes by writing them between two slashes: " / / " (but without the quotes). On the other hand, the actual sounds are enclosed by square brackets: " [ ] " (again, without quotes). While the letters between slashes may be based on spelling conventions, the letters between square brackets are usually the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] (IPA) or some other [[phonetic transcription]] system. ==Phoneme inventories== ===Doing a phoneme inventory=== Part of the phonological study of a language involves looking at data (phonetic [[transcription (linguistics) | transcriptions]] of the speech of [[native speaker]]s) and trying to deduce what the underlying [[phoneme]]s are and what the sound inventory of the language is. Even though a language may make distinctions between a small number of phonemes, speakers actually produce many more phonetic sounds. Thus, a phoneme in a particular language can be pronounced in many ways. Looking for minimal pairs forms part of the research in studying the phoneme inventory of a language. A [[minimal pair]] is a pair of words from the same language, that differ by only a single sound, and that are recognized by speakers as being two different words. When there is a minimal pair, the two sounds constitute separate phonemes. (It is often not possible to detect all phonemes with this method so other approaches are used as well.) If two similar sounds do not constitute separate phonemes, they are called [[allophone]]s of the same underlying phoneme. ===Phonemic distinctions or allophones=== If two similar sounds do not constitute separate phonemes, they are called [[allophone]]s of the same underlying phoneme. For instance, voiceless stops ({{IPA |/p/, /t/, /k/}}) can be aspirated. In English, voiceless stops at the beginning of a word are [[Aspiration|aspirated]], whereas after /s/ they are not aspirated. (This can be seen by putting your fingers right in front of your lips and notice the difference in breathiness as you say 'pin' and 'spin'.) There is no English word 'pin' that starts with an unaspirated p, therefore in English, aspirated {{IPA |[pʰ]}} (the {{IPA |[ʰ]}} means aspirated) and unaspirated [p] are allophones of an underlying phoneme /p/. Another example of allophones in English is how the /t/ sounds in the words 'tub', 'stub', 'but', and 'butter' are all pronounced differently, yet are all perceived as "the same sound. Another example: in English, the liquids {{IPA |/l/}} and {{IPA |/ɹ/}} are two separate phonemes (minimal pair 'life', 'rife'); however, in [[Korean]] these two liquids are allophones of the same phoneme, and the general rule is that {{IPA |[ɾ]}} comes before a vowel, and {{IPA |[l]}} does not (e.g. ''Seou'''l''''', ''Ko'''r'''ea''). A native speaker will tell you that the {{IPA |[l]}} in Seoul and the {{IPA |[ɾ]}} in Korean are in fact the same letter. What happens is that a native Korean speaker's brain recognises the underlying phoneme {{IPA |/l/}}, and, depending on the phonetic context (whether before a vowel or not), expresses it as either {{IPA |[ɾ]}} or {{IPA |[l]}}. Another Korean speaker will hear both sounds as the underlying phoneme and think of them as the same sound. This is one reason why most people have an accent when they attempt to speak a language that they did not grow up hearing; their brains sort the sounds they hear in terms of the phonemes of their own native language. ===Change of a phoneme inventory over time=== The particular sounds which are phonemic in a language can change over time. At one time, {{IPA |[f]}} and {{IPA |[v]}} were allophones in English, but these later changed into separate phonemes. This is one of the main factors of historical change of languages as described in [[historical linguistics]]. ==Other topics in phonology== Phonology also includes topics such as [[assimilation]], [[elision]], [[epenthesis]], [[vowel harmony]], [[tone]], non-phonemic [[prosody]] and [[phonotactics]]. Prosody includes topics such as [[stress]] and [[intonation]]. ===Word stress=== In some languages, [[Stress (linguistics)|stress]] is non-phonemic. Some examples include [[Finnish]] and all ancient Germanic languages ([[Old Norse]], [[Old English]] and [[Old High German]]) as well as some modern Germanic languages such as [[Icelandic]]. However, in other modern-day Germanic languages such as German or English, stress is phonemically distinctive, although there are only a few minimal pairs. In German, for example, {{IPA |/ˈaugust/}}, the personal name August, contrasts with {{IPA |/auˈgust/}} , the month August. The distinction of stress is often seen in English words where the verb and noun forms have the same spelling. For example, consider {{IPA|/ˈrɛbəl/}} 'rebel' the noun (which places the emphasis on the first syllable) contrasted with {{IPA|/rɪˈbɛl/}} 'rebel' the verb (which instead puts the emphasis on the second syllable). Another example is the pair ''insight'' {{IPA|/ˈɪnsaɪt/}} and ''incite'' {{IPA|/ɪnˈsaɪt/}}, where in the former the stress lies on the first syllable and in the latter on the second syllable. In American English, the words ''Missouri'' and ''misery'' are also distinguished only by stress. In ''Missouri'', the stress lies on the penultimate syllable, but in ''misery'' it lies on the first syllable. ==Development of the field== The Polish scholar [[Jan Baudouin de Courtenay]] coined the word ''[[phoneme]]'' in 1876, and his work, though often unacknowledged, is considered to be the starting point of modern phonology. He worked not only on the theory of the phoneme but also on phonetic alternations (i.e., what is now called [[allophony]] and [[morphophonology]]). His influence on [[Ferdinand de Saussure]], the father of [[Structuralism]], was significant. Prince [[Nikolai Trubetzkoy]]'s posthumously published work, the ''Principles of Phonology'' (1939), is considered the foundation of the [[Prague School]] of phonology. Directly influenced by Baudouin de Courtenay, Trubetskoy is considered the founder of [[morphophonology]], though morphophonology was first recognized by Baudouin de Courtenay. Trubetzkoy split phonology into [[phonemics]] and [[archiphoneme|archiphonemics]]; the former has had more influence than the latter. Another important figure in the Prague School was [[Roman Jakobson]], who was one of the most prominent linguists of the [[twentieth century]]. In 1968, [[Noam Chomsky]] and [[Morris Halle]] published ''[[The Sound Pattern of English]]'', the basis for [[Generative Phonology]]. In this view, phonological representations (surface forms) are structures whose phonetic part is a sequence of phonemes which are made up of [[distinctive feature]]s. These features were an expansion of earlier work by Roman Jakobson, [[Gunnar Fant]], and Halle. The features describe aspects of articulation and perception, are from a universally fixed set, and have the binary values + or -. Ordered phonological rules govern how this phonological representation (also called underlying representation) is transformed into the actual pronunciation (also called surface form.) An important consequence of the influence SPE had on phonological theory was the downplaying of the syllable and the emphasis on segments. Furthermore, the Generativists folded morphology into phonology, which both solved and created problems. In the late 1960s, [[David Stampe]] introduced [[Natural Phonology]]. In this view, phonology is based on a set of universal [[phonological process]]es which interact with one another; which ones are active and which are suppressed are language-specific. Rather than acting on segments, phonological processes act on [[distinctive feature]]s within prosodic groups. Prosodic groups can be as small as a part of a syllable or as large as an entire utterance. Phonological processes are unordered with respect to each other and apply simultaneously (though the output of one process may be the input to another). The second-most prominent Natural Phonologist is Stampe's wife, [[Patricia Donegan]]; there are many Natural Phonologists in Europe, though also a few others in the U.S., such as [[Geoffrey Pullum]]. The principles of Natural Phonology were extended to [[morphology (linguistics)|morphology]] by [[Wolfgang Dressler]], who founded [[Natural Morphology]]. In 1976 [[John Goldsmith]] introduced [[autosegmental phonology]]. Phonological phenomena are no longer seen as ''one'' linear sequence of segments, called phonemes or feature combinations, but rather as ''some parallel sequences'' of features which reside on multiple tiers. [[Government Phonology]], which originated in the early 1980s as an attempt to unify theoretical notions of syntactic and phonological structures, is based on the notion that all languages necessarily follow a small set of [[principle]]s and vary according to their selection of certain binary [[parameter]]s. That is, all languages' phonological structures are essentially the same, but there is restricted variation that accounts for differences in surface realizations. Principles are held to be inviolable, though parameters may sometimes come into conflict. Prominent figures include [[Jonathan Kaye]], [[Jean Lowenstamm]], [[Jean-Roger Vergnaud]], [[Monik Charette]], [[John Harris(linguist)|John Harris]], and many others. In a course at the LSA summer institute in 1991, [[Alan Prince]] and [[Paul Smolensky]] developed [[Optimality Theory]]—an overall architecture for phonology according to which languages choose a pronunciation of a word that best satisfies a list of [[constraint]]s which is ordered by importance: a lower-ranked constraint can be violated when the violation is necessary in order to obey a higher-ranked constraint. The approach was soon extended to morphology by [[John McCarthy (linguist)|John McCarthy]] and [[Alan Prince]], and has become the dominant trend in phonology. Though usually unacknowledged, Optimality Theory was strongly influenced by Natural Phonology; both view phonology in terms of constraints on speakers and their production, though these constraints are formalized in very different ways. ==See also== * [[Phoneme]] * [[Morphophonology]] * [[Phonological hierarchy]] * [[Prosody (linguistics)]] * [[English phonology]] * [[Shibboleth]] ==External links== * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsPhonology.htm What is phonology?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAutosegmentalPhonology.htm What is autosegmental phonology?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsGenerativePhonology.htm What is generative phonology?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsLexicalPhonology.htm What is lexical phonology?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsMetricalPhonology.htm What is metrical phonology?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAPhonologicalDerivation.htm What is a phonological derivation?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsPhonologicalHierarchy.htm What is phonological hierarchy?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsPhonologicalSymmetry.htm What is phonological symmetry?] * <small>SIL: </small>[http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAPhonologicalUniversal.htm What is a phonological universal?] * <small>Lexicon of linguistics: </small>[http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Metrical+phonology&lemmacode=540 Metrical phonology] * [http://www.celt.stir.ac.uk/staff/HIGDOX/STEPHEN/PHONO/PHONOLG.HTM On-line phonology course] (of [[English language|English]]) * [http://davidbrett.uniss.it/index Another on-line phonology course dealing with English] using large amounts of [[Macromedia Flash]] interaction. * [http://specgram.com/PsQ.XVI.4/06.pulju.indefinite.html Variation in the English Indefinite Article]: A humorous article demonstrating the importance of phonology (as opposed to merely syntax and semantics) in linguistic analysis. ==Bibliography== * Anderson, John M.; and Ewen, Colin J.

For the voicemail transcription service, see [[Phonetic (service)]]'' '''Phonetics''' (from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word &phi;&omega;&nu;ή, ''phone'' = sound/voice) is the study of [[sound]]s ([[human voice|voice]]). It is concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds ([[phone]]s) as well as those of non-speech sounds, and their production, audition and perception, as opposed to [[phonology]], which operates at the level of sound systems and abstract sound units (such as [[phoneme]]s and [[distinctive feature]]s). Phonetics deals with the sounds themselves rather than the contexts in which they are used in languages. Discussions of meaning ([[semantics]]) therefore do not enter at this level of [[linguistics|linguistic analysis]]. While [[writing system]]s and [[alphabet]]s are in many cases closely related to the sounds of speech, strictly speaking, phoneticians are more concerned with the sounds of speech than the [[symbol]]s used to represent them. So close is the relationship between them however, that many dictionaries list the study of the symbols (more accurately [[semiotics]]) as a part of phonetic studies. On the other hand, [[logographic]] writing systems typically give much less phonetic information, but the information is not necessarily non-existent. For instance, in [[Chinese character]]s, a ''phonetic'' refers to the portion of the character that hints at its pronunciation, while the [[radical (Chinese character)|radical]] refers to the portion that serves as a [[semantics|semantic]] hint. Characters featuring the same phonetic typically have similar pronunciations, but by no means are the pronunciations predictably determined by the phonetic due to the fact that pronunciations diverged over many centuries while the characters remained the same. Not all Chinese characters are ''radical-phonetic compounds'', but a good majority of them are. Phonetics has three main branches: *[[articulatory phonetics]], concerned with the positions and movements of the lips, tongue, vocal tract and folds and other [[speech organ]]s in producing speech *[[acoustic phonetics]], concerned with the properties of the sound waves and how they are received by the inner ear *[[auditory phonetics]], concerned with speech perception, principally how the brain forms perceptual representations of the input it receives. There are over a hundred different phones recognized as distinctive by the [[International Phonetic Association]] (IPA) and transcribed in their [[International Phonetic Alphabet]]. Phonetics was studied as early as 2500 years ago in ancient [[India]], with [[Pāṇini]]'s account of the place and manner of articulation of consonants in his ''cerca'' fifth-century BCE treatise of [[Sanskrit]]. Nearly all Indian alphabets today order their consonants according to Pāṇini's classification. ==See also== * [[List of phonetics topics]] * [[Tolkāppiyam]] (a 200 BCE grammar of [[Tamil]]) * [[Speech processing]] * [[Acoustics]] * [[biometric word list]] * [[Phonetics departments at universities]] * [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] * [[X-SAMPA]] ==External links and references== *[http://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/Summer_2004/ling001/lecture2.html The sounds and sound patterns of language] U Penn *[http://hctv.humnet.ucla.edu/departments/linguistics/VowelsandConsonants/ UCLA lab data] *[http://archive.phonetics.ucla.edu/ UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive] *[http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/phonetik/EGG/page1.htm EGG and Voice Quality] (electroglottography, phonation, etc.) *[http://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/handbook.htm IPA handbook] *[http://www.ling.lu.se/research/speechtutorial/tutorial.html Speech Analysis Tutorial] *[http://www.uni-erfurt.de/sprachwissenschaft/personal/lehmann/CL_Lehr/PhonPhon/Phon_Index.html Lecture materials in German on phonetics & phonology, university of Erfurt] ==Bibliography== * Catford, J.

It is the basic unit that distinguishes between different words or [[morpheme]]s — changing an element of a word from one phoneme to another produces either a different word or obvious nonsense, whereas changing an element from one phone to another, when both belong to the same phoneme, produces the same word (sometimes with an odd or incomprehensible pronunciation). Phonemes are not the physical [[segment (linguistics)|segment]]s themselves, but mental [[abstraction]]s of them. A phoneme could be thought of as a family of related [[phone]]s, called [[allophone]]s, that the speakers of a language think of, and hear or see, as being categorically the same. In [[sign language]]s, the phoneme was formerly called a ''[[chereme]]'' (or ''cheireme''), but usage changed to ''phoneme'' when it was recognized that the mental abstractions involved are essentially the same as in oral languages. A [[Phonemic principle|phonemically "perfect"]] [[alphabet]] is one that has a single symbol for each phoneme. '''Phonemics''', a branch of [[phonology]], is the study of the systems of phonemes of languages. Although the concept has been fundamental to the development of phonological analysis of language beneath the level of the syllable, some linguists reject the theoretical validity of the phoneme. Some think that phonemes are more a product of literacy (i.e., the need to categorize the phonetics of a language in order to write it down systematically with a minimum number of letters). Other critics charge that the mind processes sub-phonemic elements of speech (e.g., [[distinctive feature|feature]]s) in meaningful ways. A common test to determine whether two phones are allophones or separate phonemes relies on finding so-called [[minimal pair]]s: words that differ only in the phones in question. ==Background and related ideas== The term ''phonème'' was reportedly first used by Dufriche-Desgenettes in 1873, but it refered to only a sound of speech. The term ''phoneme'' as an [[abstraction]] was developed by the Polish linguist Jan Niecislaw [[Baudouin de Courtenay]] and his student [[Mikołaj Kruszewski]] during 1875-1895. The term used by these two was ''fonema'', the basic unit of what they called ''psychophonetics''. The concept of the phoneme was elaborated in the works of [[Nikolai Trubetzkoi]] and other of the [[Prague School]] (during the years 1926-1935), as well as in that of [[structuralism|structuralist]]s like [[Ferdinand de Saussure]], [[Edward Sapir]], and [[Leonard Bloomfield]]. Later, it was also used in [[generative linguistics]], most famously by [[Noam Chomsky]] and [[Morris Halle]], and remains central in any accounts of the development of virtually all modern schools of [[phonology]]. The phoneme can be defined as "the smallest meaningful psychological unit of sound." The phoneme has mental, physiological, and physical substance: our brains process the sounds; the sounds are produced by the human speech organs; and the sounds are physical entities that can be recorded and measured. For an example of phonemes, consider the English words ''pat'' and ''sat'', which appear to differ only in their initial consonants. This difference, known as '''contrastiveness''' or '''opposition''', is sufficient to distinguish these words, and therefore the P and S sounds are said to be different phonemes in English. A pair of words that are identical except for such a sound are known as a [[minimal pair]]; this is the most frequent demonstration that two sounds are separate phonemes. If no minimal pair can be found to demonstrate that two sounds are distinct, it may be that they are [[allophone]]s. Allophones are variant phones (i.e., sounds) that are not recognized as distinct by a speaker, and are not meaningfully different in the language, and so are perceived as "the same". This is especially likely if they consistently occur in different environments. For example, the "dark" L sound at the end of the English word "wool" is quite different from the "light" L sound at the beginning of the word "leaf", but this difference is meaningless in English, and is determined by whether the sound is at the beginning or end of a word. A native English speaker might have a hard time hearing the difference at first, but in [[Turkish]] the difference between "light" and "dark" L is sufficient to distinguish words. That is, they are two separate phonemes in Turkish, but allophones of a single phoneme in English. The phonemic relationship of two sounds may not be obvious to a non-native speaker, which is why minimal pairs and an understanding of phonetic environments are important. For example, in [[Korean]], there is a phoneme /r/ that is a [[flap consonant|flapped]] ''r'' between vowels, and is an ''l''-sound next to other consonants. These sound very different to an English speaker, who is attuned to hearing them because the differences are meaningful in English. However, the native speaker has learned from an early age to filter out the difference, as they are not meaningful in their language. In Korean, for instance, it is impossible to distinguish the two words "ram" and "lam", despite the fact that both R and L sounds occur in the language. Across multiple languages, the same IPA symbol may be used to represent a phoneme, but their actual pronunciation may not be identical but merely similar. For example, the Finnish word ''maat'' ("countries") sounds different from the [[Received Pronunciation|British English (Received Pronunciation)]] word ''mart'' even though both are phonemically transcribed as IPA {{IPA|/mɑ:t/}}[http://www.helsinki.fi/hum/hyfl/projektit/vokaalikartat_eng.html]; the Spanish word ''sin'' ("without") has a somewhat different vowel from the American English ''seen'' though both are transcribed as {{IPA|/sin/}}. Such distinctions can be made in a [[phonetic transcription]]. The exact number of phonemes in [[English language|English]] depends on the speaker and the method of determining phoneme vs. allophone, but estimates typically range from 40 to 45, which is above average across all languages. [[Pirahã]] has only 10, while [[!Xóõ]] has 141. Depending on the language and the [[alphabet]] used, a phoneme may be written consistently with one letter; however there are many exceptions to this rule — see [[#Writing systems|Writing systems]] below. Some languages make use of [[pitch (music)|pitch]] for the precise same purpose. In this case, the tones used are called [[toneme]]s. Some languages distinguish words made up of the same phonemes (and tonemes) by using different ''durations'' of some elements, which are called [[chroneme]]s. However, not all scholars working on languages with distinctive duration use this term. Usually, long [[vowel]]s and [[consonant]]s are represented either by a length indicator or doubling of the symbol in question. In sign languages, phonemes may be classified as ''Tab'' (elements of location, from Latin ''tabula''), ''Dez'' (the hand shape, from ''designator''), ''Sig'' (the motion, from ''signation''), and with some researchers, ''Ori'' (orientation). Facial expressions and mouthing are also phonemic. ===Notation=== A transcription that only indicates the different phonemes of a languages is said to be ''phonemic''. Such transcriptions are enclosed within virgules (slashes), '''/ /'''; these show that each enclosed symbol is claimed to be phonemically meaningful. On the other hand, a transcription that indicates finer detail, including allophonic variation like the two English L's, is said to be ''phonetic'', and is enclosed in square brackets, '''[&nbsp;]'''. The common notation used in linguistics employs virgules (slashes) (/ /) around the symbol that stands for the phoneme. For example, the phoneme for the initial consonant sound in the word "phoneme" would be written as {{IPA|/f/}}. In other words, the '''[[grapheme]]s''' are <tt>&lt;ph&gt;</tt>, but this digraph represents one sound {{IPA|/f/}}. '''[[Allophone]]s''', more phonetically specific descriptions of how a given phoneme might be commonly instantiated, are often denoted in linguistics by the use of diacritical or other marks added to the phoneme symbols and then placed in square brackets ([ ]) to differentiate them from the phoneme in slant brackets (/ /). The conventions of [[orthography]] are then kept separate from both phonemes and allophones by the use of the markers &lt; &gt; to enclose the spelling. The symbols of the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] (IPA) and extended sets adapted to a particular language are often used by linguists to write phonemes of oral languages, with the principle being one symbol equals one categorical sound. Due to problems displaying some symbols in the early days of the Internet, systems such as [[X-SAMPA]] and [[Kirshenbaum]] were developed to represent IPA symbols in plain text. As of 2004, any modern web browser can display IPA symbols (as long as the [[operating system]] provides the appropriate fonts), and we use this system in this article. The only published set of phonemic symbols for a sign language is the [[Stokoe notation]] developed for [[American Sign Language]], which has since been applied to [[British Sign Language]] by Kyle and Woll, and to [[Australian Aboriginal sign languages]] by Adam Kendon. However, there are several phonetic systems, such as [[SignWriting]]. ===Examples=== Examples of phonemes in the [[English language]] would include sounds from the set of English consonants, like {{IPA|/p/}} and {{IPA|/b/}}. These two are most often written consistently with one letter for each sound. However, phonemes might not be so apparent in written English, such as when they are typically represented with combined letters, called '''[[Digraph (orthography)|digraphs]]''', like &lt;sh&gt; (pronounced {{IPA|/ʃ/}}) or &lt;ch&gt; (pronounced {{IPA|/tʃ/}}). To see a list of the phonemes in the English language, see [[International Phonetic Alphabet for English|IPA for English]]. Two sounds that may be allophones (sound variants belonging to the same phoneme) in one language may belong to separate phonemes in another language or dialect. In English, for example, {{IPA|/p/}} has aspirated and non-aspirated allophones:aspirated as in {{IPA|/pɪn/}}, and non-aspirated as in {{IPA|/spɪn/}}. However, in many languages (e. g. [[Chinese]]), aspirated {{IPA|/pʰ/}} is a phoneme distinct from unaspirated {{IPA|/p/}}. As another example, there is no distinction between {{IPA|[r]}} and {{IPA|[l]}} in [[Japanese]], there is only one {{IPA|/r/}} phoneme in Japanese, although the Japanese {{IPA|/r/}} has allophones that make it sound more like an {{IPA|/l/}}, {{IPA|/d/}}, or {{IPA|/r/}} to English speakers. The sounds {{IPA|/z/}} and {{IPA|/s/}} are distinct phonemes in English, but allophones in [[Spanish]]. {{IPA|/n/}} (as in ''run'') and {{IPA|/ŋ/}} (as in ''rung'') are phonemes in English, but allophones in [[Italian]] and Spanish. An important phoneme is the [[chroneme]], a phonemically-relevant extension of the duration of a consonant or vowel. Some languages or dialects such as [[Finnish]] or Japanese allow chronemes after both consonants and vowels. Others, like [[Italian]] or [[Australian English]] use it after only one (in the case of Italian, consonants; in the case of Australian, vowels). ===Arguments against the phoneme=== Rather than a basic mental unit of language, some think that the phoneme may well be a perceptual artifact of alphabetic literacy (see the terms [[Phonemic awareness]] and [[Phonological awareness]]). If not that, it may be an [[epiphenomenal]] aspect to listening removed from face-to-face encounters, that is, text-like listening (qv [[phone]] and [[feature]]). It could be said that the unit of the phoneme is a necessary construct if we wish to set a dynamic, complex spoken language into static, written form expressed at a sub-syllabic level, though the model is a simplification and no where near phonologically or phonetically complete. The phoneme has the theoretical weakness from the perspective of phonology in that it uses, in part, lexical criteria to determine something that is supposed to be phonological (i.e., minimal pairs of words to point out phonological categories). Much of phonology, while accepting the phoneme as possible model or unit of language for description, has largely moved past the segmental phoneme as a basic unit of speech, of speech processing or of language acquisition. This is because the concept of the 'feature' is viewed as beneath the level of the phoneme while also spanning across segments. Meanwhile, attempts at capturing a phonological picture of the psychological control and structure underlying real speech flounder on the inadequacies of the phoneme for such purposes (that is, the phoneme can not account for co-articulation or assimilation of controlled speech, among other phenomena). Such an endeavor is more for the field of articulatory phonology, and its rival unit of phonology is the 'articulatory gesture'. However, the term 'phoneme', though variably defined and delimited, remains a widely and uncritically accepted concept in second and foreign language teaching and in the psychology of native literacy (especially for acquisitional literacy in alphabetic languages, such as English). ==Restricted phonemes== A '''restricted phoneme''' is a phoneme that can only occur in a certain environment: There are restrictions as to where it can occur. English has several restricted phonemes: * {{IPA|/ŋ/}}, as in ''sing'', occurs only at the end of a syllable, never at the beginning. (In many other languages, such as [[Swahili]], {{IPA|/ŋ/}} can start a word.) * {{IPA|/h/}} occurs only at the beginning of a syllable, never at the end. (A few languages such as [[Arabic]] allow /h/ at the ends of words.) * In many American dialects with the [[cot-caught merger]], {{IPA|/ɔ/}} occurs only before /r/, /l/, and in the [[diphthong]] {{IPA|/ɔi/}}. * In [[rhotic and non-rhotic accents|non-rhotic dialects]], /r/ can only occur before a vowel, never at the end of a word or before a consonant. * Under most interpretations, {{IPA|/w/}} and {{IPA|/j/}} occur only before a vowel, never at the end of a syllable. However, many phonologists interpret a word like ''boy'' as either {{IPA|[boi̯]}} or {{IPA|[boj]}}. ==Neutralization, archiphoneme, underspecification== Phonemes that are contrastive in certain environments may not be contrastive in all environments. In the environments where they don't contrast, the contrast is said to be '''neutralized'''. An example from English is the neutralization of the plosives /k, g/ following /s/. Phonetically, the [[Aspiration|unaspirated]] [[tenuis consonant|tenuis]] plosive in ''sky'' is closer to English /g/, which is partially [[voiceless consonant|voiceless]] in the initial position, than to [[Aspiration|aspirated]] /k/. This can be heard by comparing ''the sky'' with ''this guy''; also, in the speech of young children who are not yet able to produce consonant clusters, they often pronounce ''sky'' as what '''''sounds like''''' {{IPA|/gai/}} to adult ears but is actually produced with an unaspirated, unvoiced [k]. That is, /k/ and /g/ are constrastive word initially, {| cellpadding="4" | | | {{IPA|[k&#688;aɪ]}} | ''chi'' |- | | | {{IPA|[gaɪ]}} | ''guy'' |} But not after an /s/, {| cellpadding="4" | | | {{IPA|[skaɪ]}} | → | rowspan="2" | ''sky'' |- | | | {{IPA|[skaɪ]}} | → |} Thus one cannot say whether the underlying representation of the plosive in ''sky'' is {{IPA|/k/}} without aspiration, or {{IPA|/g/}} without voicing. This neutralization can instead be represented as an archiphoneme |G|, in which case the underlying representation of ''sky'' would be |{{IPA|sGaɪ}}|. Another way to talk about archiphonemes involves the concept of '''[[underspecification]]'''. Phonemes can be considered fully specified segments while archiphonemes are underspecified segments. In [[Tuvan]], phonemic vowels are specified with the features of tongue height, backness, and lip rounding. The archiphoneme |U| is an underspecified high vowel where only the tongue height is specified. {| cellpadding="4" |- | | ! phoneme/<br>archiphoneme ! height ! backness ! roundedness |- | | | {{IPA|/i/}} | high | front | unrounded |- | | | {{IPA|/ɯ/}} | high | back | unrounded |- | | | {{IPA|/u/}} | high | back | rounded |- | | | <nowiki>|U|</nowiki> | high | - | - |} Whether |U| is pronounced as front or back and whether rounded or unrounded depends on [[vowel harmony]]. If |U| occurs following a front unrounded vowel, it will be pronounced as the phoneme {{IPA|/i/}}; if following a back unrounded vowel, it will be as an {{IPA|/ɯ/}}; and if following a back rounded vowel, it will be an {{IPA|/u/}}. This can been seen in the following words: {| cellpadding="4" |- | | | <nowiki>-|Um|</nowiki> | | | 'my' | | (the vowel of this suffix is underspecified) |- | | | <nowiki>|idikUm|</nowiki> | → | {{IPA|[idikim]}} | 'my boot' | | (/i/ is front & unrounded) |- | | | <nowiki>|xarUm|</nowiki> | → | {{IPA|[xarɯm]}} | 'my snow' | | (/a/ is back & unrounded) |- | | | <nowiki>|nomUm|</nowiki> | → | {{IPA|[nomum]}} | 'my book' | | (/o/ is back & rounded) |} It should be noted that not all phonologists accept the concept of archiphonemes. Many doubt that it reflects how people process language or control speech, and some argue that archiphonemes add unnecessary complexity. ==Non-phonemes== [[Prothesis (linguistics)|Prothesis]], [[epenthesis]] and [[paragoge]], due to [[phonotactics]], add sounds into words without adding meaning. Nevertheless, the sound is added, and thus the phoneme status may be ambiguous. For example, in Spanish a prothetic ''e-'' must be added before initial /s/ + consonant clusters, e.g. '''''e'''strés''. ==Phonological extremes== Of all the sounds that a human vocal tract can create, different languages vary considerably in the number of these sounds that are considered to be distinctive phonemes in the speech of that language. [[Ubyx]] and some dialects of [[Abkhaz Abkhaz]] have only two phonemic vowels, and many [[Indigenous languages of the Americas|Native American languages]] have three. On other extreme, the [[Bantu languages|Bantu language]] [[Ngwe]] has fourteen vowel qualities, twelve of which may occur long or short, for twenty-six oral vowels, plus six nasalized vowels, long and short, for thirty-eight vowels; while [[!Xóõ]] achieves thirty-one pure vowels—not counting vowel length, which it also has—by varying the phonation. [[Rotokas]] has only six consonants, while !Xóõ has somewhere in the neighborhood of seventy-seven, and Ubyx eighty-one. [[French]] has no phonemic tone or stress, while several of the [[Kam-Sui languages]] have nine tones, and one of the [[Kru languages]], [[Wobe]], has been claimed to have fourteen, though this is disputed. The total number of phonemes in languages varies from as few as eleven in Rotokas to as many as 112 in !Xóõ (including four tones). These may range from familiar sounds like {{IPA|[t]}}, {{IPA|[s]}}, or {{IPA|[m]}} to very unusual ones produced in extraordinary ways (see: [[Click consonant]], [[phonation]], [[airstream mechanism]]). The [[English language]] itself uses a rather large set of thirteen to twenty-two vowels, including diphthongs, though its twenty-two to twenty-six consonants are close to average. (There are twenty-one consonant and five vowel ''letters'' in the English alphabet, but this does not correspond to the number of consonant and vowel ''sounds''.) The most common vowel system consists of the five vowels {{IPA|/i/, /e/, /a/, /o/, /u/}}. The most common consonants are {{IPA|/p/, /t/, /k/, /m/, /n/}}. A very few languages lack one of these: standard [[Hawai‘ian]] lacks {{IPA|/t/}}, [[Mohawk]] lacks {{IPA|/p/}} and {{IPA|/m/}}, Hupa lacks both {{IPA|/p/}} and a simple {{IPA|/k/}}, colloquial [[Samoan]] lacks {{IPA|/t/}} and {{IPA|/n/}}, while Rotokas and [[Quileute]] lack {{IPA|/m/}} and {{IPA|/n/}}. While most of these languages have very small inventories, Quileute and Hupa have quite complex consonant systems. ==Writing systems== At least in theory, in a phonemic writing system, a given symbol represents a single phoneme, and each phoneme is represented by a single symbol. This may differ from a phonetic orthography, which only requires that the spelling be unambiguously determined by the pronunciation, and the pronunciation unambiguously indicated by the spelling. Phonemic representation of a language is often described as 'broad transcription', while a phonetic rendering is called 'narrow'. A phonetic system would have more symbols or spelling conventions, since it might, in part, attempt to capture some key sound variations (allophones)of a phoneme. Learners of a foreign or second language can benefit from a more phonetic writing system if it reveals subtleties in pronunciation that are phonemically glossed over by literate native or fluent speakers of that language (since the latter's purpose is fluent reading). English spelling (whether British, American or Australian) is often cited as the classic example of a nonphonemic, and indeed unphonetic, spelling system. [[Welsh]] and [[Irish]] are, by contrast, among the more predictable orthographies among languages using the Latin alphabet. In [[French]], rules to predict pronunciation from spelling are quite simple and have few exceptions, as long as there are some clues such as context or part of speech, but guessing spelling from pronunciation is quite difficult, especially because of the many silent letters. It should be noted that both written English and French (being lexical cousins, if quite different phonologically speaking) tend to preserve word root (over sound) relationships. [[Italian]], [[Spanish]] and especially [[Finnish]] have a very close letter-to-phoneme correspondence. [[Karelian]] has a perfectly phonemic spelling system, as it has no [[standard language]], but it has a complete spelling system. Other languages fall somewhere in between polar distinctions such as "lexical vs. phonemic and/or phonetic" and "phonemic vs. phonetic". Although English is often given as an example of an unphonetic orthography, its system is nowhere near to being as logographic (lexical or word-based) a system as Chinese writing is. English spelling conveys etymological, derivational and inflectional information, but also vast amounts of phonetic information as well. In a nutshell, written English displays a great deal of complexity for representing vowel sounds within a fairly stable and consistent consonant framework (though there is a shortage of letters all around, with 26 letters and phoneme counts well over 40). [[Spanish]] is often given as an example of a phonetic orthography, but it has numerous imperfections including [[Silent letter|silent letters]]. It is, at least, possible to tell the correct pronunciation of any written Spanish word. Another phonemic orthography is [[Serbian]]. Its phonemicity was established by Serbian "[[Noah Webster|Webster]]" [[Vuk Stefanović Karadžić]]. He followed a strict phonemic principle, which is best told by his own words: "Write as you speak and read as it is written.". [[Hindi]], a descendant of [[Sanskrit]], is an example of phonetically written language represented with a non-Roman Alphabet that is partly syllabic in nature. Hindi's writing system, however, probably ultimately descends from the same ancient Middle Eastern sources that gave the world the Roman, Cyrillic and Arabic scripts. Real world distinctions between phonemic and nonphonemic orthographies are exaggerated. All languages are written with conventions that represent both meaning and pronunciation. This is true at both ends of the scale: Chinese characters are first and foremost symbols for morphemes and words, but they may have some phonetic elements to their composition as well (and these work, sometimes at least, the way spelling analogies do in written English). At the other extreme, there are a few orthographies which are complete and consistent phonemic representations of an artificial national standard. The phonemic principles by which orthographies might be standardized might also exclude representation of variations in pronunciation within the spoken dialects of a national language. Korean hangul, an invented writing system, has been called a linguistically perfect writing system because of its attention to phonetic-featural detail, capturing the language analytically at a fine-tuned featural level. However, it is not clear that native speakers need such phonetic-featural detail to learn to read Korean, and Korean, as it is actually written and read, could be processed synthetically at higher levels language, such as syllable types and whole words (i.e., sight words that are quickly read because they occur so often in text). == See also == {{commons|:Category:Phonemes}} * [[Minimal pair]] * [[Phone]] * [[Phonology]] * [[Morphophonology]] * [[List of phonetics topics]] * [[Initial-stress-derived noun]] == External links == * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAPhoneme.htm What is a ''phoneme''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAnAllophone.htm What is an ''allophone''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAPhone.htm What is a ''phone''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAPhoneticallySimilarSegm.htm What is a ''phonetically similar segment''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAMinimalPair.htm What is a ''minimal pair''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsComplementaryDistributio.htm What is ''complementary distribution''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAnEnvironment.htm What is an ''environment''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsContrastInIdenticalEnvir.htm What is an ''contrast in identical environments''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsContrastInAnalogousEnvir.htm What is an ''contrast in analogous environments''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/ComparisonOfMorphemeMorphAllom.htm Comparison of morpheme-morph-allomorph & phoneme-phone-allophone? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/Phonology.htm What is ''phonology''? <small>(SIL)</small>] * [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=phoneme Phoneme <small>(Lexicon of Linguistics)</small>] * [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=allophony Allophony <small>(Lexicon of Linguistics)</small>] * [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=transcription Transcription <small>(Lexicon of Linguistics)</small>] * [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Grapheme-phoneme+conversion Grapheme-Phoneme Conversion <small>(Lexicon of Linguistics)</small>] * [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Phoneme+restoration Phoneme Restoration <small>(Lexicon of Linguistics)</small>] *[http://moodle.ed.uiuc.edu/wiked/index.php/Phonemic_awareness phonemic awareness] {{wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Phoneme]] [[Category:Phonology]] Morpheme 2116 8963 2006-05-12T05:21:02Z Muke 1 fix wp ref In [[Morpheme-based morphology]], a '''morpheme''' is the smallest language unit that carries a [[semantics|semantic]] interpretation. Morphemes are, generally, a distinctive [[collocation]] of [[phoneme]]s (as the free form pin or the bound form -s of pins) having no smaller meaningful members. ''English example:'' The word "unbelievable" has three morphemes "un-", (negatory) a bound morpheme, "-believe-" a free morpheme, and "-able". "un-" is also a [[prefix morpheme|prefix]], "-able" is a [[suffix morpheme|suffix]]. Both are [[affix|affixes]]. == Types of morphemes == * Free morphemes like ''town'', ''dog'' can appear with other [[lexeme]]s (as in ''town-hall'' or ''dog-house'') or they can stand alone, or "free". [[Allomorph|Allomorphs]] are variants of a morpheme, e.g. the plural marker in English is sometimes realized as /-z/, /-s/ or /-&#618;z/. * Bound morphemes like "un-" appear only together with other morphemes to form a lexeme. Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes. Morphemes existing in only one bound form are known as "cranberry" morphemes, from the "cran" in that very word. * Inflectional morphemes modify a word's tense, number, aspect, and so on. (as in the ''dog'' morpheme if written with the plural marker morpheme ''s'' becomes ''dogs''). * Derivational morphemes can be added to a word to create (derive) another word: the addition of "-ness" to "happy", for example, to give "happiness". == Reference == {{cite book | first=Andrew| last=Spencer | year=1992 | title=Morphological Theory | chapter= | editor= | others= | pages= | publisher=Oxford:Blackwell | id= | url= | authorlink= }} {{wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Morpheme]] Linguistic universal 2117 51015 2009-12-10T18:31:53Z Cedh audmanh 313 /* External links */ Universals Archive A '''linguistic universal''' is a statement that is true for all natural languages. For example, ''All languages have [[noun]]s and [[verbs]].'' or ''All spoken languages have [[consonant]]s and [[vowel]]s'' (but not [[sign language]]s, to which [[phonology|phonological]] universals have no relevance). Research in this area of [[linguistics]] is closely tied to [[linguistic typology]], and intends to reveal information about how the [[human brain]] processes [[language]]. The field was largely pioneered by the linguist [[Joseph Greenberg]], who from a set of some thirty languages derived a set of basic universals, mostly dealing with [[syntax]]. ==Terminology== Linguists distinguish between two kinds of universals: '''absolute''' (opposite: '''statistical''', often called '''tendencies''') and '''implicational''' (opposite '''non-implicational'''). Absolute universals apply to every known language and are quite few in number; an example would be ''All languages have [[pronoun]]s''. An implicational universal applies to languages which have a particular feature that is always accompanied by another feature, such as ''If a language has [[trial grammatical number]], it also must have [[dual grammatical number]],'' while non-implicational universals just state the existence (or non-existence) of one particular feature. Also in contrast to absolute universals are '''tendencies''', statements that may not be true for all languages, but nevertheless are far too common to be the result of chance. They also have implicational and non-implicational forms. An example of the latter would be ''The vast majority of languages have [[nasal consonant]]s''{{ref|Gbe}}. However, most tendencies, like their universal counterparts, are implicational. For example, ''With overwhelmingly greater than chance frequency, languages with normal [[Subject Object Verb|SOV]] order are [[postposition]]al''. Strictly speaking, a tendency is not a kind of universal, but exceptions to most statements called universals can be found. For example, [[Latin]] is an SOV language with [[preposition]]s. Often it turns out that these exceptional languages are undergoing a shift from one type of language to another. In the case of Latin, its descendant [[Romance languages]] switched to [[Subject Verb Object|SVO]], which is a much more common order among prepositional languages. Linguistic universals in syntax are sometimes held up as evidence for [[universal grammar]] (though [[epistemology|epistemological]] arguments are more common). Other explanations for linguistic universals have been proposed, for example that linguistic universals tend to be properties of language which aid communication. If a language were to lack one of these properties, it has been argued, it would probably soon evolve into a language having that property. ==In semantics== In the domain of [[semantics]], research into linguistic universals has taken place in a number of ways. Some linguists, starting with [[Gottfried Leibniz|Leibniz]], have pursued the search for a hypothetic irreducible semantic core of all languages; a modern variant of this approach can be found in the [[Natural Semantic Metalanguage]] of [[Anna Wierzbicka|Wierzbicka]] and associates.{{ref|NSM}}. Other lines of research suggest cross-linguistic tendencies to use body part terms metaphorically as adpositions, or tendencies to have morphologically simple words for cognitively salient concepts.{{ref|rosch}} The human body, being a physiological universal, provides an ideal domain for research into semantic and lexical universals. In a seminal study, Andersen (1978) proposed a number of universals in the semantics of body part terminology, including the following: in any language, there will be distinct terms for <small>BODY</small>, <small>HEAD</small>, <small>ARM</small>, <small>EYES</small>, <small>NOSE</small>, and <small>MOUTH</small>; if there is a distinct term for <small>FOOT</small>, there will be a distinct term for <small>HAND</small>; similarly, if there are terms for <small>INDIVIDUAL TOES</small>, then there are terms for <small>INDIVIDUAL FINGERS</small>. Subsequent research has shown that most of these features have to be considered cross-linguistic tendencies rather than true universals. Several languages, for example [[Tidore language|Tidore]] and [[Kuuk Thaayorre language|Kuuk Thaayorre]], lack a general term meaning 'body'. Rather, the highest level in the partonomy of body part terms would be the word for 'person'{{ref|enfield}}. ==Notes and references== ===Notes=== <div style="font-size: 85%"> # {{note|Gbe}} Gbe languages like [[Ewe language|Ewe]] and [[Fon language|Fon]] are examples of languages that lack true nasal consonants (see [[Gbe languages#Nasality in Gbe]]). # {{note|NSM}} see for example Goddard & Wierzbicka (1994) and Goddard (2002). # {{note|rosch}} Rosch et. al.

There are other [[writing system|systems of writing]] such as [[logogram]]s, in which each symbol represents a [[morpheme]], or word, and [[syllabary|syllabaries]], in which each symbol represents a syllable. The word "alphabet" itself comes from [[alpha (letter)|alpha]] and [[beta (letter)|beta]], the first two symbols of the [[Greek alphabet]]. There are dozens of alphabets in use today. Most of them are '[[linear writing|linear]]', which means that they are made up of lines. Notable [[non-linear writing|exceptions]] are the [[Braille|Braille alphabet]], [[Morse code]] and the [[cuneiform script|cuneiform]] alphabet of the ancient city of [[Ugarit]]. {{alphabet}} ==Types== The term "alphabet" is currently used by linguists both in a wider and in a narrower sense. In the wider sense, the term refers to any script that is segmental on the [[phoneme]] level, i.e. that has separate glyphs for individual sounds and not for larger units such as syllables or words. In the narrower sense, some scholars distinguish true "alphabets" from two other subtypes, [[abjad]]s and [[abugida]]s. The three types differ from each other in the way vowels are treated in relation to consonants. Abjads record only consonants and leave vowels (or most vowels) unexpressed; in Abugidas the vowels are indicated by diacritical marks or systematic modification of the form of the consonants. In alphabets in the narrow sense, both consonants and vowels have separate symbols. The first alphabet in the wider sense was the [[Proto-Canaanite alphabet]], an [[abjad]], which through its successor [[Phoenician alphabet|Phoenician]] became the ancestor of all later alphabets. The first alphabet in the narrow sense was the [[Greek alphabet]]. Examples of present-day abjads are the [[Arabic script|Arabic]] and [[Hebrew script]]s; true alphabets include [[Latin alphabet|Latin]], [[Cyrillic]], and Korean [[Hangul]]; and abugidas are used to write [[Amharic]], [[Hindi]], and [[Thai]]. The [[Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics]] are also an abugida rather than a syllabary, as a glyph stands for a consonant and is rotated to represent the vowel, rather than each consonant-vowel combination being represented by a separate glyph, as in a true syllabary. The boundaries between these three types are not always clear-cut. For example, Iraqi [[Kurdish]] is written in the [[Arabic script]], which is normally an abjad. However, in Kurdish, writing the vowels is mandatory, and full letters are used, so the script is a true alphabet. Other languages may use a Semitic abjad with mandatory vowel diacritics, effectively making them abugidas. On the other hand, the [[Phagspa]] script of the [[Mongol Empire]] was based closely on the [[Tibetan script|Tibetan abugida]], but all vowel marks were written after the preceding consonant rather than as diacritic marks. Although short ''a'' was not written, as in the abugidas, one could argue that the linear arrangement made this a true alphabet. Conversely, the vowel marks of the [[Amharic_language#Amharic_Abugida_Symbols_.28.22Fidel.22_.E1.8D.8A.E1.8B.B0.E1.88.8D.29|Amharic abugida]] have been so completely assimilated into their consonants that the system is learned as a [[syllabary]] rather than as a segmental script. Even more extreme, the Pahlavi abjad became [[logogram|logographic]]. (See below.) Thus the primary classification of alphabets reflects how they treat vowels. For [[Tone (linguistics)|tonal languages]], further classification can be based on the treatment of tone, though there are as yet no names to distinguish the various types. Some alphabets disregard tone entirely, especially when it does not carry a heavy functional load, as in [[Somali]] and many other languages of Africa and the Americas. Such scripts are to tone what abjads are to vowels. Most commonly, tones are indicated with diacritics, the way vowels are treated in abugidas. This is the case for [[Vietnamese]] (a true alphabet) and [[Thai alphabet|Thai]] (an abugida). In Thai, tone is determined primarily by the choice of consonant, with diacritics for disambiguation. In the [[Pollard script]] (an abugida), vowels are indicated by diacritics, but the placement of the vowel relative to the consonant indicates the tone. More rarely, a script has separate letters for the tones, as is the case for [[Hmong]] and [[Zhuang]]. For many of these languages, regardless of whether letters or diacritics are used, the most common tone is not marked, just as the most common vowel is not marked in Indic abugidas. Alphabets can be quite small. The Book [[Pahlavi]] script, an abjad, had only twelve letters at one point, and may have had even fewer later on. Today the [[Rotokas alphabet]] has only twelve letters. (The [[Hawai'ian]] alphabet is sometimes claimed to be as small, but it actually consists of 18 letters, including the [[Okina|ʻokina]] and five long vowels.) While Rotokas has a small alphabet because it has few phonemes to represent (just eleven), Book Pahlavi was small because many letters had been ''conflated'', that is, the graphic distinctions had been lost over time, and diacritics were not developed to compensate for this as they were in [[Arabic alphabet|Arabic]], another script that lost many of its distinct letter shapes. For example, a comma-shaped letter represented ''g, d, y, k,'' and ''j''. However, such simplifications can perversely make a script more complicated. In later Pahlavi [[papyrus|papyri]], up to half of the remaining graphic distinctions were lost, and the script could no longer be read as a sequence of letters at all, but had to be learned as word symbols &ndash; that is, as [[logogram]]s like Egyptian [[Demotic Egyptian|Demotic]]. The largest segmental script is probably an abugida, [[Devanagari]]. When written in Devanagari, Vedic [[Sanskrit]] has an alphabet of 53 letters, including the ''visarga'' mark for final aspiration and special letters for ''kš'' and ''jñ'', though one of the letters is theoretical and not actually used. The Hindi alphabet must represent both Sanskrit and modern vocabulary, and so has been expanded to 58 with the ''khutma'' letters (letters with a dot added to represent sounds from Persian and English). The largest known abjad is [[Sindhi]], with 51 letters. The largest true alphabets include [[Kabardian]] and [[Abkhaz]] (for [[Cyrillic]]), with 58 and 56 letters, respectively, and [[Slovak]] (for the [[Latin alphabet]]), with 46. However, these scripts either include di- and tri-graphs, similar to Spanish ''ch'', or [[diacritic]]s, like Slovak ''č''. The largest true alphabet where each letter is graphically independent is probably [[Georgian alphabet|Georgian]], with 41 letters. Syllabaries typically include 50 to 400 glyphs (though the [[Múra-Pirahã language]] of [[Brazil]] would require only 24 if tone were not indicated, and Rotokas 30), and the glyphs of logographic systems number from the hundreds to the thousands. Thus a simple count of the number of distinct symbols is an important clue to the nature of an unknown script. It is not always clear what constitutes a distinct alphabet. [[French]] uses the same basic alphabet as English, but many of the letters can carry [[diacritic]] and other marks (for example, é, à or ô). In French, these marks are not considered to create additional letters. However, in [[Icelandic]], the accented letters (such as á, í and ö) are considered distinct letters of the alphabet. Some adaptations of the Latin alphabet are augmented with [[ligature (typography)|ligatures]], such as [[æ]] in [[Old English]] and [[Ou (letter)|&#546;]] in [[Algonquian language|Algonquian]]; by borrowings from other alphabets, such as the [[thorn (letter)|thorn]] þ in [[Old English language|Old English]] and [[Icelandic]], which came from the [[Futhark]] runes; and by modifying existing letters, such as the [[Eth (letter)|eth]] ð of Old English and Icelandic, which came from ''d''. Other alphabets only use a subset of the Latin alphabet, such as Hawaiian, or [[Italian]], which only uses the letters ''j'', ''k'', ''x'', ''y'' and ''w'' for foreign words. ==Spelling== {{details|Spelling}} Each language may establish certain general rules that govern the association between letters and phonemes, but, depending on the language, these rules may or may not be consistently followed. In a perfectly [[phonology| phonological]] alphabet, the phonemes and letters would correspond perfectly in two directions: a writer could predict the spelling of a word given its pronunciation, and a speaker could predict the pronunciation of a word given its spelling. However, languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, so the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language. Languages may fail to achieve a one-to-one correspondence between letters and sounds in any of several ways: * A language may represent a given phoneme with a combination of letters rather than just a single letter. Two-letter combinations are called [[digraph]]s and three-letter groups are called [[trigraph]]s. [[Kabardian]] uses a tesseragraph (four letters) for one of its phonemes. * A language may represent the same phoneme with two different letters or combinations of letters. * A language may spell some words with unpronounced letters that exist for historical or other reasons. * Pronunciation of individual words may change according to the presence of surrounding words in a sentence. * Different dialects of a language may use different phonemes for the same word. * A language may use different sets of symbols or different rules for distinct sets of vocabulary items (such as the Japanese [[hiragana]] and [[katakana]] syllabaries, or the various rules in English for spelling words from Latin and Greek, or the original [[Germanic languages|Germanic]] vocabulary. National languages generally elect to address the problem of dialects by simply associating the alphabet with the national standard. However, with an international language with wide variations in its dialects, such as [[English]], it would be impossible to represent the language in all its variations with a single phonetic alphabet. Some national languages like [[Finnish]] have a very regular spelling system with a nearly one-to-one correspondence between letters and phonemes. The [[Italian]] verb corresponding to 'spell', ''compitare'', is unknown to many Italians because the act of spelling itself is almost never needed: each phoneme of Standard Italian is represented in only one way. However, pronunciation cannot always be predicted from spelling because certain letters are pronounced in more than one way. In standard Spanish, it is possible to tell the pronunciation of a word from its spelling, but not vice versa; this is because certain phonemes can be represented in more than one way, but a given letter is consistently pronounced. [[French]], with its [[silent letter]]s and its heavy use of [[nasal vowel]]s and [[elision]], may seem to lack much correspondence between spelling and pronunciation, but its rules on pronunciation are actually consistent and predictable with a fair degree of accuracy. At the other extreme, however, are languages such as English and [[Irish]], where the spelling of many words simply has to be memorized as they do not correspond to sounds in a consistent way. For English, this is because the [[Great Vowel Shift]] occurred after the orthography was established, and because English has acquired a large number of loanwords at different times retaining their original spelling at varying levels. However, even English has general rules that predict pronunciation from spelling, and these rules are successful most of the time. The sounds of speech of all languages of the world can be written by a rather small universal phonetic alphabet. A standard for this is the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]]. ==Collation== {{details|Collation}} An alphabet also serves to establish an ''order'' among letters that can be used for sorting entries in lists, called collating. Note that the order does not have to be constant among different languages using this alphabet; for examples see [[Latin alphabet#Collating in other languages|Latin alphabet: Collating in other languages]]. In recent years the [[Unicode]] initiative has attempted to collate most of the world's known writing systems into a single [[character encoding]]. As well as its primary purpose of standardising computer processing of non-Roman scripts, the Unicode project has provided a focus for script-related scholarship. ==The Alphabet effect== Some communication theorists (notably those associated with the so-called "Toronto school of communications", such as [[Marshall McLuhan]], [[Harold Innis]] and more recently [[Robert K. Logan]]) have advanced hypotheses to the effect that alphabetic scripts in particular have served to promote and encourage the skills of analysis, coding, decoding, and classification. This set of hypotheses may be known as "the Alphabet effect", after the title of Logan's 1986 work. The theory claims that a greater level of abstraction is required due to the greater economy of symbols in alphabetic systems; and this abstraction needed to interpret phonemic symbols in turn has contributed in some way to the development of the societies which use it. Proponents of this theory hold that the development of alphabetic (as distinct to other types of) writing systems has made a significant impact on "Western" thinking and development because it introduced a new level of abstraction, analysis, and classification. McLuhan and Logan (1977) postulates that, as a result of these skills, the use of the alphabet created an environment conducive to the development of codified law, monotheism, abstract science, deductive logic, objective history, and individualism. According to Logan, "All of these innovations, including the alphabet, arose within the very narrow geographic zone between the Tigris-Euphrates river system and the Aegean Sea, and within the very narrow time frame between 2000 B.C. and 500 B.C." (Logan 2004). However, many of these abstractions first occurred in societies which did not use an alphabet, such as the codified law of [[Hammurabi]] in [[Babylonia]], which predated similar codes in societies with the alphabet. Since the alphabet quickly spread to become nearly ubiquitous, it is difficult to trace cause and effect in this matter. == See also == * [[Abecedarium]] * [[Abjad]] * [[Abugida]] * [[Akshara]] * [[Alphabetical order]] * [[Alphabets derived from the Latin]] * [[Artificial script]]s * [[Character set]] * [[Lipogram]] * [[List of alphabets]] * [[Syllabary]] * [[Transliteration]] * [[Unicode]] * [[A]] | [[B]] | [[C]] | [[D]] | [[E]] | [[F]] | [[G]] | [[H]] | [[I]] | [[J]] | [[K]] | [[L]] | [[M]] | [[N]] | [[O]] | [[P]] | [[Q]] | [[R]] | [[S]] | [[T]] | [[U]] | [[V]] | [[W]] | [[X]] | [[Y]] | [[Z]] == References == * {{cite book | author=Daniels, Peter T.; Bright, William | title=The World's Writing Systems | publisher=Oxford University Press | year=1996 | id=ISBN 0-19-507993-0 }} - Overview of modern and some ancient writing systems. * {{cite book | author=Driver, G.R. | title=Semetic Writing from Pictograph to Alphabet | publisher=Oxford University Press | year=1976 }} * {{cite book | author=Hoffman, Joel M. | title=In the Beginning: A Short History of the Hebrew Language | publisher=NYU Press | year=2004 | id=ISBN 0814736548 }} - Chapter 3 traces and summarizes the invention of alphabetic writing. * {{cite book | author=Logan, Robert K. | title=The Alphabet Effect: A Media Ecology Understanding of the Making of Western Civilization | publisher=Hampton Press | year=2004 | id=ISBN 1-57273-522-8}} * McLuhan, Marshall; Logan, Robert K.

It was the first true [[alphabet]], that is, an alphabet with a symbol for each vowel and consonant, and is the oldest alphabetic script in use today. The letters are also used to represent [[numbers]] — [[Greek numerals]] — in the same sorts of contexts as [[Roman numerals]]. Besides writing modern Greek, today its letters are used as [[Greek letters used in mathematics|mathematical symbols]], [[particle physics|particle names]] in physics, as [[Astronomical naming conventions#Names of stars|names of stars]], in the names of [[fraternities and sororities]], in the [[Lists of tropical cyclone names|naming of supernumerary tropical cyclones]], and for other purposes. The Greek alphabet originated as a modification of the [[Phoenician alphabet]] and in turn gave rise to the [[Gothic alphabet|Gothic]], [[Glagolitic alphabet|Glagolitic]], [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]], [[Coptic alphabet|Coptic]], and possibly the [[Armenian alphabet]]s, as well as the [[Latin alphabet]], as documented in [[History of the alphabet]]. The Greek alphabet is unrelated to [[Linear B]] and the [[Cypriot syllabary]], earlier writing systems for Greek. ==Main table== The Greek letters and their derivations are as follows (pronunciations

The ligature for ου &mdash; resembling a V above an O &mdash; is still sometimes seen. For a modern use of this in the [[Latin alphabet]], see [[Ou (letter)]] ==History== {{alphabet}}[[Image:NAMA Alphabet grec.jpg|thumb|Early Greek alphabet. [[National Archaeological Museum of Athens]]]] ''Main article: [[History of the Greek alphabet]].'' According to legends recounted by [[Herodotus]], the alphabet was first introduced to Greece by a Phoenician named [[Cadmus]], who also figures in other [[Greek mythology]]. The most notable change in the Greek alphabet, compared to its predecessor, the [[Phoenician alphabet]], is the introduction of written [[vowel]]s, without which Greek &mdash; unlike Phoenician &mdash; would be unintelligible. In fact most alphabets that contain vowels are derived ultimately from Greek, although there are exceptions ([[Hangul]], [[Orkhon script]], [[Ge'ez alphabet]], [[Indic alphabets]], and [[Old Hungarian script]]). The first vowels were alpha, epsilon, iota, omicron, and upsilon (copied from waw), modifications of either glides or breathing marks, which were mostly superfluous in Greek. In eastern Greek, which lacked breaths entirely, the letter eta was also used for a long e, and eventually the letter omega was introduced for a long o. Vowels were originally not used in Semitic alphabets, but even in the very old Ugaritic alphabet [[matres lectionis]] were used, i.e. consonant signs were used to denote vowels. Greek also introduced three new consonants, appended to the end of the alphabet as they were developed. These consonants made up for the lack of aspirates in Phoenician. In west Greek, Χ was used for /{{IPA|ks}}/ and Ψ for /{{IPA|kʰ}}/ &mdash; hence the value of our letter x, derived from the western Greek alphabet. Over the [[middle ages]] these aspirates disappeared, so now theta, phi, and chi stand for /{{IPA|θ}}/, /{{IPA|f}}/, and /{{IPA|x}}/. The origin of those letters is disputed. The letter san was used at variance with sigma, and by classical times the latter won out, san disappearing from the alphabet. The letters waw (later called digamma) and qoppa disappeared, too, the former only needed for the western dialects and the latter never really needed at all. These lived on in the [[Ionic numeral system]], however, which consisted of writing a series letters with precise numerical values. Sampi (apparently in a rare local glyph form from Ionia) was introduced at the end — to stand for 900. Thousands were written using a mark at the upper left ('A for 1000, etc). Originally there were several variants of the Greek alphabet, most importantly western (Chalcidian) and eastern (Ionic) Greek; the former gave rise to the [[Old Italic alphabet]] and thence to the [[Latin alphabet]]. [[Athens]] took the Ionic script to be its standard in [[403 BC]], and shortly thereafter the other versions disappeared. By then Greek was always written left to right, but originally it had been written right to left (with asymmetrical characters flipped), and in-between written either way — or, most likely, ''[[boustrophedon]]'', so that the lines alternate direction. During the [[Middle ages]], the Greek scripts underwent changes paralleling those of the Roman alphabet: while the old forms were retained as a monumental script, uncial and eventually [[minuscule letter|minuscule]] hands came to dominate. The letter σ is even written ς at the ends of words, paralleling the use of the [[Long s|long and short s]] at the time. [[Aristophanes of Byzantium]] also introduced the process of accenting Greek letters for easier pronunciation. Because Greek [[minuscule]]s arose at a (much) later date, no historic minuscule actually exists for ''san''. Minuscule forms for the other letters were only used numerically. For number 6, modern Greeks use an old [[Digraph (orthography)|digraph]] called stigma ({{polytonic|Ϛ}}, {{polytonic|ϛ}}) instead of digamma or use στ if it is not available. For 90 they use modern z-shaped qoppa forms: {{polytonic|Ϟ}}, {{polytonic|ϟ}} (Note that some web browser/font combinations will show the other qoppa here). ==Use of the Greek alphabet for other languages== The primary use of the Greek alphabet has always been to write the Greek language and related dialects (including [[Ancient Macedonian]]). However, at various times and in various places, it has also been used to write other languages. Early examples: *Some Narbonese [[Gaulish]] inscriptions in southern France use the Greek alphabet (c300 BC). *The [[Hebrew]] text of the [[Bible]] was written in Greek in [[Origen]]'s [[Hexapla]]. *An 8th century [[Arabic]] fragment preserves a text in Greek. In more modern times: *[[Turkish]] spoken by [[Orthodox Christian]]s ([[Karamanlides]]) was often written in Greek script, and called "[[Karamanlidika]]". *[[Tosk]] [[Albanian]] was often written using the Greek alphabet, starting in about 1500 (Elsie, 1991). The printing press at [[Moschopolis]] published several Albanian texts in Greek script during the 18th century. It was only in 1908 that the [[Bitola|Monastir]] conference standardized a [[Albanian alphabet|Latin orthography]] for both Tosk and [[Gheg]]. The Greek-based [[Arvanitic alphabet]] is now only used in Greece. *Various [[South Slavic languages|South Slavic]] dialects, similar to the modern [[Macedonian language]], have been preserved in Greek script. The modern Macedonian language uses a modified [[Cyrillic alphabet]]. *[[Aromanian]] (Vlach) has been written in Greek characters. There is not yet a standardized orthography for Aromanian, but it appears that one based on the [[Romanian]] orthography will be adopted. *[[Gagauz]], a [[Turkic language]] of the northeast Balkans. *[[Surguch]], a [[Turkic language]] spoken by a small group of [[Orthodox Christian]]s in northern Greece. *[[Urum]] or Greek Tatar. * The [[Coptic alphabet]] is the Greek alphabet augmented with several new letters. *The [[Old Nubian language]] of [[Makuria]] used the Greek alphabet augmented with three Coptic letters and three unique letters. ==Greek encodings== A variety of encodings have been used for Greek online, many of them documented in RFC 1947 "Greek Character Encoding for Electronic Mail Messages". The two principal ones still used today are [[ISO/IEC 8859-7]] and [[Unicode]]. ISO 8859-7 supports only [[monotonic orthography]]; Unicode supports [[polytonic orthography]]. ===Greek in Unicode=== Unicode supports polytonic orthography well enough for ordinary continuous text in modern and ancient Greek, and even many archaic forms for [[epigraphy]]. With the use of [[combining characters]], Unicode also supports Greek [[philology]] and [[dialectology]] and various other specialized requirements. However, most current implementations of Unicode do not support combining characters well, so, though alpha with [[macron]] and [[acute accent|acute]] can be ''represented'' as U+03B1 U+0304 U+0301, this rarely renders well: {{Polytonic|ᾱ́}}. For extended discussion of problematic Greek letter forms in Unicode see [http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/unicode.html Greek Unicode Issues]. There are 2 main blocks of Greek characters in [[Unicode]]. The first is "Greek and Coptic" (U+0370 &mdash; U+03FF). This block is based on [[ISO 8859-7]] and is sufficient to write Modern Greek. There are also some archaic letters and Greek-based technical symbols. This block also supports the [[Coptic language]]. Formerly most Coptic letters shared codepoints with similar-looking Greek letters; but in many scholarly works, both scripts occur, with quite different letter shapes, so as of Unicode 4.1, Coptic and Greek were disunified.

OVS denotes the sequence '[[Object]] [[Verb]] [[Subject]]' in unmarked expressions: ''Oranges ate Sam'', ''Thorns have roses''. While these sentences remain grammatically correct in English, unlike those written in [[Subject Object Verb]], their meaning is lost. But English and other [[Subject Verb Object]] languages frequently use an Object-Verb-Subject type sentence order when writing in the [[passive voice]], for example ''The oranges were eaten by Sam''. <!-- Note: the kind of [[permutation]] meant here is clearly the kind used in mathematics described in the first section of the permutation article. Some work will definitely have to be done to make that section of the permutation article a little more intelligible and interesting for language oriented people. So remains to be done :-) . --> OVS is a class of languages used in the classification of languages according to the dominant [[sequence (linguistics)|sequence]] of these [[constituents (linguistics)|constituents]]. In this case the sequence of the constituents is Object Verb Subject. This sequence is the rarest of the six possible orderings of Subject, Verb, and Object. Examples of human languages that use it include [[Guarijio]] and [[Hixkaryana]]. Although not dominant, this sequence is also possible when the object is stressed in languages that have relatively free word order due to case marking. [[Romanian]], [[Basque]], [[Esperanto]], and, to some extent, [[German]] are examples. Some languages, such as [[Swedish]], which normally lack any extensive case marking, allow such structures when [[pronoun]]s (which are marked for case) are involved. This sequence was chosen for the [[artificial language]] [[Klingon]], a language spoken by the [[extraterrestrial]] [[Klingon race]] in the fictional universe of the [[Star Trek]] series, in order to make the language sound deliberately alien and counterintuitive. Thus, Klingon uses the rarest permutation of expression, which is expected given the designers' goals. ==See also== * [[Word order in Latin]] {{wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Object Verb Subject]] [[Category:Grammar]] Klingon language 2121 56255 2010-09-28T16:22:55Z WeepingElf 43 /* External links */ <div class="toccolours" align="center">It has been suggested that this article or section be '''merged''' into ''[[Klingon]]''. </div> The '''Klingon language''' or '''Klingonese''' ('''''tlhIngan Hol''''' in Klingon) is a [[constructed language]] – an [[artistic language]] created by [[Marc Okrand]] for [[Paramount Pictures]] and spoken by [[Klingon]]s in the fictional [[Star Trek]] universe. He designed the language with [[Object Verb Subject]] (OVS) word order to give an alien feel to the language. Klingon is similar to [[Native American languages]] in several aspects. The basic sound (along with a very few words) was first devised by [[James Doohan]] for ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]''; the film marked the first time the language had been heard on screen, all previous appearances of the Klingons being in English. Klingon is sometimes referred to as Klingonese (most notably in the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' episode "[[The Trouble with Tribbles]]"), but among the Klingon-speaking community this is often understood to refer to another Klingon language that is described in [[John M. Ford]]'s Star Trek novels as [[Klingonaase]]. == Language == A description of the Klingon language can be found in Okrand's book <cite>The Klingon Dictionary</cite> (Published by Pocket Books, Simon & Schuster, 1985, second edition with new addendum 1992, ISBN 067174559X). Other notable works include <cite>The Klingon Way</cite> (with Klingon sayings and proverbs), <cite>Klingon for the Galactic Traveler</cite> and the two audio productions <cite>Conversational Klingon</cite> and <cite>Power Klingon</cite>. In the pilot episode of ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'', "[[Broken Bow (Enterprise episode)|Broken Bow]]" (2001), the Klingon language is described as having eighty [[articulatory phonetics|polyguttural]] [[dialect]]s constructed on an adaptive [[syntax]] ''(for more, see [[#Phonology|Phonology]])''. Three books have also been published in the tongue: <cite>[[ghIlghameS]]</cite> (<cite>[[Gilgamesh]]</cite>), ''Hamlet'' (<cite>[[Hamlet]]</cite>), and <cite>paghmo' tIn mIS</cite> (<cite>[[Much Ado About Nothing]]</cite>). These last two choices were inspired by a remark by a Klingon chancellor in ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]'' that [[Shakespeare]] is best read in the original Klingon. Some [[Trekkies]] take the time to learn it and at some Star Trek [[convention]]s one can hear enthusiasts use it amongst themselves. They often greet each other with the Klingon word ''nuqneH'' (literally: "What do you want?"), which is said to be the closest thing to a greeting that exists in the language. Another phrase commonly heard among Star Trek fans is "''<nowiki>Qapla' </nowiki>''", the Klingon word for "success". [[D'Armond Speers]] and his wife began raising a child bilingually in English and Klingon; Speers spoke in Klingon and his wife in [[English language|English]]. A few years into his life, the child began rejecting Klingon and gravitating towards English, as he could use English with many more speakers. The fact that Klingon lacked many words for things that were important in a baby's life, such as "diaper", and "pacifier", was a lesser issue. At the time of Speers' attempt, Klingon even lacked words for many objects common around the house, such as "table". In May 2003, the [[Multnomah County, Oregon]] [[Department of Human Services]] named Klingon on a list of 55 languages for which it might conceivably need interpreters; this story was circulated out-of-context as an [[urban legend]] claiming that the department was looking to hire a Klingon interpreter. [[County]] [[Chair]] [[Diane Linn]] called the listing the "result of an overzealous attempt to ensure that our safety net systems can respond to all customers and clients." [http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/klingon.asp] Paramount owns a [[copyright]] to the official dictionary and other [[Canon (fiction)|canonical]] descriptions of the language. Some people dispute the validity of Paramount's claim of copyright on the language itself in light of the [[Supreme Court of the United States | U.S. Supreme Court's]] ''[[Feist v. Rural | Feist]]'' decision, but no challenge has actually been brought to court. A [[programming language]] called [[var'aq]] was inspired by Klingon. [[Google]] is available in Klingon. [http://www.google.com/intl/xx-klingon/] Features of the Klingon language were taken from various real Earth languages:- * Using a sentence as a noun clause by appending ''<nowiki>'e'</nowiki>'' to it was inspired by [[Sanskrit]] (which uses ''iti'' in the same role). * The relative pronoun prefix for verbs is similar to a [[Swahili]] construction. * Pronoun verb prefixes occur in [[Swahili]] and [[Nahuatl]]. * Amalgamating the subject and object pronoun prefixes is paralleled in [[Nahuatl]]. * The rules for use of the suffix ''je'' = "and" are about the same as in [[Sanskrit]] (which uses ''ca''). * The word ''HoD'' = "captain" occurs also as an English [[acronym]] ''HoD'' = "head of department". == Phonology == Klingon has been developed with a phonology that, while based on human [[natural languages]], is intended to sound alien. The effect is mainly achieved by the use of a number of [[retroflex consonant|retroflex]] and [[uvular consonant|uvular]] consonants in the language's inventory. Although natural languages use a number of different [[airstream mechanism]]s besides the common [[pulmonic egressive]], these other mechanisms are not used in Klingon. This is perhaps because these sounds are a lot more difficult to learn to produce if one's language does not use them. Klingon has twenty-one or twenty-two consonants, but only five cardinal vowels. Klingon is normally written in a variant of the [[Latin alphabet]] (see [[#Writing system|below]]). In this orthography, [[upper case|upper]] and [[lower case]] letters are not interchangeable (uppercase letters mostly represent sounds different to those expected by English speakers). In the discussion below, standard Klingon orthography appears in ''&lt;angle brackets&gt;'', and the [[phoneme|phonemic transcription]] in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] is written between ''/slashes/''. ===Consonants=== The inventory of consonants in Klingon is spread over a number of [[place of articulation|places of articulation]]. In spite of this, the inventory has many gaps: Klingon has no [[velar consonant|velar plosives]], and only one [[sibilant consonant|sibilant]]. ;[[Labial consonant|Labials]] :&lt;p&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/pʰ/}} &mdash; [[aspiration|aspirated]] [[voiceless bilabial stop]] (as [[English language|English]] ''pan'', but accompanied by puff of air not only in word initial positions, but in all positions) :&lt;b&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/b/}} &mdash; [[voiced bilabial stop]] (as English ''ban'') :&lt;m&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/m/}} &mdash; [[bilabial nasal]] (as English ''man'') :&lt;v&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/v/}} &mdash; [[voiced labiodental fricative]] (as English ''van'') ;[[Coronal consonant|Coronals]] :&lt;t&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/tʰ/}} &mdash; [[aspiration|aspirated]] [[voiceless alveolar stop]] (as English ''tan'', but accompanied by puff of air not only in word initial positions, but in all positions) :&lt;tlh&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/t͡ɬ/}} &mdash; [[voiceless alveolar lateral affricate]] (as in [[Nahuatl]] ''Nahuatl'') :&lt;ch&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ʧ/}} &mdash; [[voiceless postalveolar affricate]] (as English ''church'') :&lt;j&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ʤ/}} &mdash; [[voiced postalveolar affricate]] (as English ''judge'') :&lt;D&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ɖ/}} &mdash; [[voiced retroflex stop]] (as [[Swedish]] ''nord'') :&lt;D&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ɳ/}} &mdash; [[retroflex nasal]], an [[allophone]] of the above consonant (as Swedish ''Vänern'') :&lt;n&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/n/}} &mdash; [[alveolar nasal]] (as English ''nun'') :&lt;r&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/r/}} &mdash; [[alveolar trill]] (trilled as in [[Spanish Spanish]] ''rojo'') :&lt;S&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ʂ/}} &mdash; [[voiceless retroflex fricative]] (as [[Mandarin]] ''Shànghǎi'') :&lt;l&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/l/}} &mdash; [[alveolar lateral approximant]] (as English ''lean'', never [[velarization|velarized]] as English ''gull'') ;[[Dorsal consonant|Dorsals]] :&lt;ng&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ŋ/}} &mdash; [[velar nasal]] (as English ''ring'') :&lt;H&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/x/}} &mdash; [[voiceless velar fricative]] (as [[Scots language|Scots]] ''loch'') :&lt;gh&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ɣ/}} &mdash; [[voiced velar fricative]] (as Arabic ''[[Baghdad]]'') :&lt;y&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/j/}} &mdash; [[palatal approximant]] (as English ''yes'') :&lt;w&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/w/}} &mdash; [[labial-velar approximant]] (as English ''wash'') :&lt;q&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/qʰ/}} &mdash; [[aspiration|aspirated]] [[voiceless uvular stop]] (as [[Arabic]] ''[[Qur'an]]'', but aspirated) :&lt;Q&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/q͡χ/}} &mdash; [[voiceless uvular affricate]] (occurs in [[Nez Percé]], [[Wolof]] and [[Kabardian]]) ;[[Glottal consonant|Glottal]] :&lt;'&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ʔ/}} &mdash; [[glottal stop]] (as between the English words ''blue arm'', with distinct enunciation) ===Vowels=== In contrast to consonants, Klingon's inventory of vowels is very simple. The two front vowels, &lt;e&gt; and &lt;I&gt;, represent sounds that are generally shorter and more clipped in English than the more sonorant equivalents (as English ''bade'' and ''bead''). This, and the lack of [[diphthong]]s, enhances the sense that Klingon is a clipped and harsh-sounding language. ;[[Vowel]]s :&lt;a&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ɑ/}} &mdash; [[open back unrounded vowel]] (in English ''spa'') :&lt;e&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ɛ/}} &mdash; [[open-mid front unrounded vowel]] (in English ''bed'') :&lt;I&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/ɪ/}} &mdash; [[near-close near-front unrounded vowel]] (in English ''bit'') :&lt;o&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/o/}} &mdash; [[close-mid back rounded vowel]] (in [[French]] ''oiseaux'') :&lt;u&gt; &mdash; {{IPA|/u/}} &mdash; [[close back rounded vowel]] (in Spanish ''cura'') ===Syllabification=== Klingon [[syllable]] structure is extremely strict: a syllable must start with a consonant (including the glottal stop) followed by one vowel. In prefixes and other more rare syllables, this is enough. More commonly, this consonant-vowel pair is followed by one consonant or one of three biconsonantal codas: /-'''''w' '''-'''y' '''-'''rgh'''''/. Thus, ''ta'' "record", ''tar'' "poison" and ''targh'' "targ" (a type of animal) are all legal syllable forms, but *''tarD'' and *''ar'' are not. Despite this, there is one suffix that takes the shape vowel+consonant: the endearment suffix -''oy''. == Grammar == Klingon is an [[agglutinative]] language, using mainly affixes in order to alter the function or meaning of words. Some nouns have inherently plural forms: ''jengva&#39;'' "plate" vs. ''ngop'' "plates", for instance. Klingon [[noun]]s take suffixes to indicate [[number]], [[gender]], two levels of [[deixis]], possession and syntactic function. In all, 29 noun suffixes from five classes may be employed: ''jupoypu'na'wI'vaD'' "for my beloved true friends". Speakers are limited to no more than one suffix from each class to be added to a word, and the classes have a specific order of appearance. Gender in Klingon does not indicate sex, as in English, or have an arbitrary assignment as in Danish or many other languages. It indicates whether a noun is a body part, a being capable of using language, or neither of these. [[Verb]]s in Klingon are even more complex, taking a prefix indicating the number and person of the subject and object, plus suffixes from nine ordered classes, plus a special suffix class called ''rovers''. Each of the four known rovers has its own unique rule controlling its position among the suffixes in the verb. Verbs are marked for [[aspect]], certainty, predisposition and volition, dynamic, [[causative]], [[mood]], [[negation]], and [[honorific]]. The Klingon verb has two moods: [[indicative]] and [[imperative]]. The most common [[word order]] in Klingon is [[Object Verb Subject]], and in some cases the word order is the exact reverse of word order in English: [[Image:Klingon sentence a.GIF|450px]] [[Image:klingonsentence.JPG]] ''DaH mojaq.mey.vam DI.vuS.nIS.be' 'e' vI.Har'' now-ADV suffix. PL.DEM 1pl-3pl.limit.need.not that 1sg-3sg.believe "I believe that we do not need to limit these suffixes now" Klingons apparently dislike redundancy such that, for example, since the ''DI'' prefix in the previous example indicates that the direct object ''mojaq'' is plural, a Klingon speaker will quite typically omit the plural suffix '''mey''' and say: ''DaH mojaqvam DI.vuS.nIS.be' 'e' vI.Har'' Unlike most artificial [[Auxlang|auxiliary languages]], which seek to either emulate elements of several evolved human languages in order to be easier to learn, or to be more regular with fewer exceptions than is the case in evolved existing languages, the Klingon language tries to break away from the most common features of other languages and embraces the exceptions to its own rules. == Writing systems== The official Klingon writing system is the [[Latin alphabet]] as used above, but on the television series, the Klingons use their own alien writing system. In ''The Klingon Dictionary'' this alphabet is named as ''pIqaD'', but no information is given about it. When Klingon symbols are used in Star Trek productions they are merely decorative graphic elements, designed to emulate real [[writing]] and create an appropriate atmosphere. The Astra Image Corporation designed the symbols (currently used to "write" Klingon) for ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]'', although these symbols are often incorrectly attributed to [[Michael Okuda]]. They based the letters on the [[Klingon starships|Klingon battlecruiser]] hull markings (three letters) first created by [[Matt Jeffries]], and on [[Tibetan alphabet|Tibetan]] writing because the script had sharp letter forms &mdash; used as a testament to the Klingons' love for knives and blades. === KLI pIqaD === [[Image:Kli piqad.GIF|thumb|The KLI piqaD]] [[Image:KLI_piqad_text_sample.GIF|thumb|KLI piqaD text sample]] Although the Latin alphabet is used officially to write Klingon, the speaking community also makes use of an artificial script designed to emulate Klingon writing on the show. This alphabet was created by an anonymous source at [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]], who based their alphabet on letters seen in the show. This "source" sent in their alphabet to [http://www.kli.org/ KLI (Klingon Language Institute)] and the KLI uploaded it onto their website as the Klingons' way of writing their language. This alphabet has gained some acceptance within the speaker and fan community although many ''Klingonists'' still prefer the Latin alphabet. The alphabet is quite simple: It contains twenty-six letters with a one-to-one ''grapheme-phoneme correspondance'': that is, one letter represents one sound and one sound is written with one letter. There are also ten numerals in the set. It is written from left to right, top to bottom like English. There is no actual punctuation, however those that use punctuation with the alphabet, use Skybox punctuation symbols (''see below''). In September 1997, [[Michael Everson]] made a proposal for encoding this in [[Unicode]]. The Unicode Technical Committee rejected the Klingon proposal in May 2001 on the grounds that research showed almost no use of the script for communication, and the vast majority of the people who did use Klingon employed the Latin alphabet by preference. Everson created a mapping of pIqaD into the [[Private Use Area]] of [[Unicode]], which he listed in the [[ConScript Unicode Registry]] (U+F8D0 to U+F8FF see [http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/klingon.html here] and [http://www.travelphrases.info/gallery/Test_Klingon.html here]). Since then several fonts using that encoding have appeared, and software for typing in pIqaD has become available. As a result, blogs in pIqaD have begun to appear, raising the possibility of reapplying for inclusion in Unicode when there is a sufficient corpus. Existing text in [[Romanization]] can easily be converted to pIqaD also. Michael Okuda, the long standing [[Star Trek]] scenic arts designer, and other Paramount staff have repudiated the mapping. === Skybox pIqaD === [[Image:Klingonalphabet.GIF|thumb|The Klingon pIqaD according to Skybox]] [[Image:Klingon-text-sample 2.JPG|thumb|A sample of written Klingon]] The KLI pIqaD isn't the only mapping of Klingon letters. The ''Astra Image'' letters were taken and used in the Paramount-endorsed [[Bitstream Inc|Bitstream]] font pack. They were used to make a font with ten letters of the English alphabet: "e" to "n" being represented by the ten different klingon letters. This font itself has been used by the Star trek production team when creating Klingon graphics, however it is still used only as random gibberish on the shows. The trading card company [[SkyBox International|Skybox]] used this font, when they created the Klingon language cards in their ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' trading card collection. The Klingon cards themselves detail aspects of Klingon culture, and feature pIqaD text, and a transliteration and translation provided by Marc Okrand. Some of these cards, notably [http://qurgh.wizage.net/cards/S7.jpg S7], [http://qurgh.wizage.net/cards/S8.jpg S8] and [http://qurgh.wizage.net/cards/S9.jpg card S9] feature pIqaD, which corresponds to the Latin transcription. Other known cards include ''s19'' and ''s20'' (which contain belittling references to ''Blockbuster'', probably an allusion to [[Blockbuster Video]]) the season seven card selection ''s37, s38 and s39'' (which featured no actual tlhingan Hol, but only English and on card S39 Latin, written in the Skybox alphabet), and finally, the Checklist cards for each seasons' set of cards had the word ''cards'' written in Klingon on them when listing the above mentioned cards. The script is written in horizontal lines running from left to right, top to bottom, just like English. Klingon can be written with spaces between words (a word being defined as any noun, verb or leftover, plus any prefixes and suffixes attached to it) and [[punctuation]]. When this is the case, four punctuation marks are used: * An "up-turned triangle" with a function similar to a [[comma]], [[semi-colon]] or [[colon (punctuation)|colon]]. * A "down-turned" triangle with a function similar to a [[full stop]], [[question mark]] or [[exclamation mark]]. * A mark similar in appearance to an [[hyphen]] (unknown function). * A mark similar to an apostrophe (function unknown). Klingon can also be written with no spaces or punctuation at all; this form is more common on the TV shows. As in English, Klingon text can be left-justified, center-justified, or right-justified, and written in vertical columns on banners. Due to its nature, the "Skybox" Alphabet is ill-suited to writing Klingon, in that ambiguity in the alphabet is apparent, so different words are spelled the same way: these are [[homograph]]s. The heartiest commendations and the gravest insults could be written identically, though it should be noted that context would go a long way to disambiguating homographs. === Mandel script === [[Image:Klinzhai alphabet.GIF|thumb|The Klinzhai alphabet]] A third script, known as the Klinzhai or Mandel script, was included in ''The U.S.S. Enterprise Officer's Manual'' (1980). It holds more closely to the D7 battlecruiser hull markings and is also loosely based upon the conceptual art of Matt Jeffries, [[Star Trek: The Original Series|TOS]] set designer. Its letters map to various letters and digraphs of English, but they have no relation to Marc Okrand's Klingon language. Like the other two alphabets, it is probably written in the same direction as English. ::''Some fans have suggested this alphabet could be used to write [[Klingonaase]] in its native form.'' == Cursing == [[Swearing|Cursing]] is considered to be a fine art among Klingons. That a person swears well is considered something of a compliment in Klingon culture. Some of the more common curse words include: :* ''petaQ''&mdash;analogous to excrement. :* ''toDSaH''&mdash;literally "idiot", i.e. analogous to "brainless" :* ''yIntagh''&mdash;reportedly a native Klingon animal on Qo'noS; analogous to "vermin" :* ''taHqeq''&mdash;a "situation confused by a toDSaH"; analogous roughly to "[[SNAFU]]". :* ''Qu'vatlh''&mdash;particularly vulgar term describing an offer by one to be "self-romantic". :* ''ghay'cha'''&mdash;related to subservience; see [[Romulan]] term "Veruul." Others not strictly part of the ''tlhIngan Hol'' corpus, but attested from other Star Trek sources, are: :* ''lo'be'voS''&mdash;incorporating "be'-" female determinative, roughly analogous to term for female Terran canine (i.e. Bitch). :* ''tha'rav'''&mdash;from Klingonaase, term for lowest of slave population. :* ''thar'av'vul''&mdash;from Klingonaase, term describing [[Vulcan (Star Trek)|Vulcan]] slaves, slur describing one as an "educated" subservient; literally, "educated idiot"; see also "toDSaH". :* ''topaH'''&mdash;usually used in combination with "toDSaH"; analogous to Terran [[Yiddish]] term "schlemiel"; person who does a "toDSaH" thing. :* ''SlIpaH''&mdash;promiscuous; analogous to Terran [[English_language|English]] term "slut" (said by Worf to Ezri Dax) :* ''bIr'MIn'' &mdash; from Star Trek fandom, a Klingon-inspired slang term, from the thlIngan Hol ''bIr'' , "Cold," and '''Min'', "Eye", or "Cold-eye;" analogous for "someone who is dishonorable, or untrustworthy." Fans have allegedly coined this term, for its similarity with Star Trek Executive Producer Rick Berman's last name, as a satirical opinion of his perceived tenure as creative head of the franchise. Many other fans disagree with this opinion, referring to such fans as examples of topaHs. Some of the words are general [[invective]]s, others are personal [[epithet]]s. Adding the term ''jay''' intensifies the words. <!--Anyone care to supply the meanings?--> ==Trivia== * In 1999, The Onion published a satirical article claiming that the number of Klingon speakers exceeded the number of [[Navajo language|Navajo]] speakers. [http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29426] * The sixth episode of the tenth season of Frasier, "Star-Mitzvah", which first aired November 5, 2002, had Frasier reading a short blessing in Klingon at his son's [[B'nai Mitzvah|Bar Mitzvah]] having been tricked into believing it was [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]].

[[Image:WritingSystemsoftheWorld3.png|400px|thumb|Writing Systems of the World today]] ==General properties== Writing systems are distinguished from other possible symbolic communication systems in that one must usually understand something of the associated language in order to successfully read and comprehend the text. Contrast this with other possible symbolic systems such as [[information sign]]s, painting, [[map]]s, and mathematics, which do not necessarily depend upon prior knowledge of a given language in order to extract their meaning. Every human community possesses language, a feature regarded by many as an innate and defining condition of humankind. However, the development and adoption of writing systems has occurred only sporadically. Once established, writing systems are on the whole modified more slowly than their spoken counterparts, and often preserve features and expressions which are no longer current in the discourse of the speech community. The great benefit conferred by writing systems is their ability to maintain a persistent record of information expressed in a language, which can be retrieved independently of the initial act of formulation. All writing systems require: :* a set of defined base elements or [[symbol]]s (termed ''characters'' or ''graphemes''); :* a set of rules and conventions understood and shared by a community, which arbitrarily assign [[meaning]] to the base elements, their ordering, and relations to one another; :* a language (generally a spoken language) whose constructions are represented and able to be recalled by the interpretation of these elements and rules; :* some physical means of distinctly representing the symbols by application to a permanent or semi-permanent medium, so that they may be interpreted (usually visually, but tactile systems have also been devised). ==Basic terminology== The study of writing systems has developed along partially independent lines in the examination of individual scripts, and as such the terminology employed differs somewhat from field to field. The generic term ''[[text]]'' may be used to refer to an individual product of a writing system. The act of composing a text may be referred to as ''[[writing]]'', and the act of interpreting the text as ''[[Reading (activity)|reading]]''. In the study of writing systems, ''[[orthography]]'' refers to the method and rules of observed writing structure (literal meaning, "correct writing"), and in particular for alphabetic systems, includes the concept of ''[[spelling]]''. A '''[[grapheme]]''' is the technical term [[neologism|coined]] to refer to the specific base or atomic units of a given writing system. Graphemes are the ''minimally significant'' elements which taken together comprise the set of "building blocks" out of which texts of a given writing system may be constructed, along with rules of correspondence and use. The concept is similar to that of the [[phoneme]] used in the study of spoken languages. For example, in the [[Latin]]-based writing system of standard contemporary English, examples of graphemes include the [[majuscule]] and [[minuscule]] forms of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet (corresponding to various phonemes), marks of [[punctuation]] (mostly non-phonemic), and a few other symbols such as those for [[Arabic numeral|numerals]] (logograms for numbers). Note that an individual grapheme may be represented in a wide variety of ways, where each variation is visually distinct in some regard, but all are interpreted as representing the "same" grapheme. These individual variations are known as '''[[allograph]]s''' of a grapheme (compare with the term [[allophone]] used in linguistic study). For example, the minuscule letter '''a''' has different allographs when written as a [[cursive]], [[block letters|block]], or [[typeface|typed]] letter. The selection between different allographs may be influenced by the medium used, the writing instrument, the stylistic choice of the writer, and the largely unconscious features of an individual's [[handwriting]]. The terms ''[[glyph]]'', ''[[sign (linguistics)|sign]]'' and ''character'' are sometimes used to refer to a grapheme. Common usage varies from discipline to discipline; compare [[Cuneiform script|cuneiform sign]], [[Maya hieroglyphics|Maya glyph]], [[Chinese character]]. The glyphs of most writing systems are made up of lines (or strokes) and are therefore called [[Linear writing|linear]], but there are glyphs in [[Non-linear writing|non-linear writing systems]] made up of other types of marks, such as Cuneiform and [[Braille]]. Writing systems are [[conceptual system]]s, as are the languages to which they refer. Writing systems may be regarded as ''complete'' according to the extent to which they are able to represent all that may be expressed in the spoken language. == History of writing systems == {{main|History of writing}} ====Proto-writing==== Before there was writing, there was ''proto-''writing. However, few examples survive, and some experts question whether the inscriptions are early writing at all. Some believe them to have been some kind of [[ideogram|ideographic]] and/or early [[mnemonic]] devices that may have been invented by creative [[Prehistory|prehistoric]] individuals. The best known examples are: * Symbols on tortoise shells in [[Jiahu]], ca. 4600 BC * [[Old European Script|Vinca script]] ([[Tărtăria tablets]]), ca. 4500 BC * Early [[Indus script]], ca. 3500 BC ====Invention of writing==== The invention of the first writing systems is roughly contemporary with the beginning of the [[Bronze Age]] in the late [[Neolithic]] of the late 4th millennium BC. The first writing system is generally believed to have been the [[Sumerian]] script, which developed into [[cuneiform]]. [[Egyptian hieroglyphs]], and the undeciphered [[Proto-Elamite script]] and [[Indus script|Indus Valley script]] also date to this era; though a few scholars have questioned the [[Indus Valley Civilization|Indus Valley]] script's status as a writing system. The [[Chinese script]] may have originated independently of the Middle Eastern scripts, around 1200 BC. The pre-Columbian writing systems of the Americas (including among others [[Olmec]] and [[Mayan]]) are also generally believed to have had independent origins. The first pure [[alphabet]]s emerged around 2000 BC in [[Ancient Egypt]], but by then alphabetic principles had already been inculcated into [[Egyptian hieroglyph]]s for a millennium (see [[Middle Bronze Age alphabets]]). ==Types of writing systems== [[Image:Puyi's schoolbook - Forbidden City.JPG|thumb|right|This textbook for Chinese children shows the English alphabet. Although the English letters run from left to right, the Chinese explanations run from top to bottom, as traditionally written.]] The oldest-known forms of writing were primarily [[logogram|logographic]] in nature, based on [[pictogram|pictographic]] and [[ideogram|ideographic]] elements. Most writing systems can be broadly divided into three categories: '''logographic''', '''syllabic''' and '''alphabetic''' (or '''segmental'''); however, all three may be found in any given writing system in varying proportions, often making it difficult to categorise a system uniquely. The term '''complex system''' is sometimes used to describe those where the admixture makes classification problematic. <table border="1"> <tr><th>Type of writing system</th><th>What each symbol represents</th><th>Example</th></tr> <tr><td>[[Logogram|Logographic]]</td><td>morpheme</td><td>Chinese ''hanzi''</td></tr> <tr><td>[[Syllabary|Syllabic]]</td><td>syllable</td><td>Japanese ''kana''</td></tr> <tr><td>[[Alphabet|Alphabetic]]</td><td>phoneme (consonant or vowel)</td><td>Latin</td></tr> <tr><td>[[Abugida]]</td><td>phoneme (consonant+vowel)</td><td>Indian ''devanagari''</td></tr> <tr><td>[[Abjad]]</td><td>phoneme (consonant)</td><td>Arabic</td></tr> <tr><td>Featural</td><td>phonetic feature</td><td>Korean ''hangul''</td></tr> </table> ''See also'': [[phonemic orthography|''phonemic'' and ''phonetic'' orthography]]. === Logographic writing systems === ''Main article: [[Logogram]]'' A '''logogram''' is a single written character which represents a complete grammatical word. Most [[Chinese character]]s are classified as logograms. As each character represents a single word (or, more precisely, a [[morpheme]]), many logograms are required to write all the words of language. The vast array of logograms and the memorization of what they mean are the major disadvantage of the logographic systems over alphabetic systems. However, since the meaning is inherent to the symbol, the same logographic system can theoretically be used to represent different languages. In practice, this is only true for closely related languages, like the [[Chinese language|Chinese languages]], as syntactical constraints reduce the portability of a given logographic system. Both [[Korean]] and [[Japanese]] use Chinese logograms in their writing systems, with most of the symbols carrying the same or similar meanings. However, the semantics, and especially the grammar, are different enough that a Chinese text is not readily understandable to a Japanese or Korean reader. While most languages do not use wholly logographic writing systems many languages use some logograms. A good example of modern western logograms are the [[Hindu-Arabic numerals]] &mdash; everyone who uses those symbols understands what '''1''' means whether he or she calls it ''one'', ''eins'', ''uno'', or ''ichi''. Other western logograms include the [[ampersand]] '''&''', used for ''and'', and the [[at sign]] '''@''' , used in many contexts for ''at''. Logograms are sometimes called [[ideogram]]s, a word that refers to symbols which graphically represent abstract ideas, but linguists avoid this use, as Chinese characters are often [[semantics|semantic]]&ndash;[[phonetic]] compounds, symbols which include an element that represents the meaning and element that represents the pronunciation. Some nonlinguists distinguish between [[lexigraphy]] and [[ideography]], where symbols in lexigraphies represent words, and symbols in ideographies represent words or morphemes. The most important (and, to a degree, the only surviving) modern logographic writing system is the Chinese one, whose characters are used, with varying degrees of modification, in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and other east Asian languages. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and the Mayan writing system are also systems with certain logographic features, although they have marked phonetic features as well, and are no longer in current use. ''See [[List of writing systems]] for a list of predominantly-logographic writing systems.'' === Syllabic writing systems === ''Main article: [[Syllabary]]'' As logographic writing systems use a single symbol for an entire word, a '''syllabary''' is a set of written symbols that represent (or approximate) [[syllable|syllables]], which make up [[word|words]]. A symbol in a syllabary typically represents a [[consonant]] sound followed by a [[vowel]] sound, or just a vowel alone. In a true syllabary there is no systematic graphic similarity between phonetically related characters (though some do have graphic similarity for the vowels). That is, the characters for "ke", "ka", and "ko" have no similarity to indicate their common "k"-ness. Compare [[#Abugidas|abugida]], where each [[grapheme]] typically represents a syllable but where characters representing related sounds are similar graphically (typically, a common consonantal base is annotated in a more or less consistent manner to represent the vowel in the syllable). Syllabaries are best suited to languages with relatively simple syllable structure, such as Japanese. The [[English language]], on the other hand, allows complex syllable structures, with a relative large inventory of [[vowel]]s and complex [[consonant cluster]]s, making it cumbersome to write English words with a syllabary. To write English using a syllabary, every possible syllable in English would have to have a separate symbol, and whereas the number of possible syllables in Japanese is no more than one hundred or so, in English there are many thousands. Other languages that use syllabic writing include [[Mycenae]]an [[Greek language|Greek]] ([[Linear B]]) and [[Native American languages]] such as [[Cherokee]]. Several languages of the [[Ancient Near East]] used forms of [[cuneiform (script)|cuneiform]], which is a syllabary with some non-syllabic elements. ''See [[List of writing systems]] for a list of syllabaries.'' === Alphabetic writing systems === ''Main article: [[Alphabet]]'' An '''alphabet''' is a small set of ''letters'' &mdash; basic written symbols &mdash; each of which roughly represents or represented historically a [[phoneme]] of a spoken [[language]]. The word ''alphabet'' is derived from [[alpha (letter)|alpha]] and [[beta (letter)|beta]], the first two symbols of the [[Greek alphabet]]. In a perfectly [[phonology|phonological]] alphabet, the phonemes and letters would correspond perfectly in two directions: a writer could predict the spelling of a word given its pronunciation, and a speaker could predict the pronunciation of a word given its spelling. Each language has general rules that govern the association between letters and phonemes, but, depending on the language, these rules may or may not be consistently followed. Perfectly phonological alphabets are very easy to use and learn, and languages that have them (for example, Finnish) have much lower barriers to literacy than languages such as English, which has a very complex and irregular spelling system. As languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language. In modern times, when [[linguist]]s invent a writing system for a language that didn't previously have one, the goal is usually to make perfectly phonological alphabet. An example of such writing systems is the "IPA" ([[International Phonetic Alphabet]]). ''See [[alphabet]] for more information about alphabets.'' ''See [[List of writing systems]] for a list of alphabetic writing systems.'' ====Abjads==== ''Main article: [[Abjad]]'' The first type of alphabet that was developed was the '''abjad'''. An abjad is an alphabetic writing system where there is one symbol per consonant. Abjads differ from regular alphabets in that they only have characters for [[consonant]]al sounds. Vowels are not usually marked in abjad. All known abjads (except maybe [[Tifinagh]]) belong to the Semitic family of scripts, and derive from the original Northern Linear Abjad. The reason for this is that [[Semitic languages]] and the related [[Berber languages]] have a [[Morphology (linguistics)|morphemic structure]] which makes the denotation of [[vowel]]s redundant in most cases. Some abjads (like Arabic and Hebrew) have markings for vowels as well, but only use them in special contexts, such as for teaching. Many scripts derived from abjads have been extended with vowel symbols to become full alphabets, the most famous case being the derivation of the [[Greek alphabet]] from the Phoenician abjad. This has mostly happened when the script was adapted to a non-Semitic language. The term ''abjad'' takes its name from the old order of the [[Arabic alphabet]]'s [[consonant]]s Alif, Bá, Jim, Dál, though the word may have earlier roots in [[Phoenician languages|Phoenician]] or [[Ugaritic]]. Abjad is still the word for alphabet in [[Arabic]] and [[Indonesian]]. ''See [[List of writing systems]] for a list of abjad-based writing systems.'' ====Abugidas==== ''Main article: [[Abugida]]'' An '''abugida''' is an alphabetic writing system whose basic signs denote consonants with an inherent vowel and where consistent modifications of the basic sign indicate other following vowels than the inherent one. Thus, in an abugida there is no sign for "k", but instead one for "ka" (if "a" is the inherent vowel), and "ke" is written by modifying the "ka" sign in a way that is consistent with how one would modify "la" to get "le". In many abugidas the modification is the addition of a vowel sign, but other possibilities are imaginable (and used), such as rotation of the basic sign, addition of diacritical marks, and so on. The obvious contrast is with [[syllabary|syllabaries]], which have one distinct symbol per possible syllable, and the signs for each syllable have no systematic graphic similarity. The graphic similarity comes from the fact that most abugidas are derived from abjads, and the consonants make up the symbols with the inherent vowel, and the new vowel symbols are markings added on to the base symbol. The [[Ge'ez alphabet|Ethiopic]] script is an abugida, although the vowel modifications in Ethiopic are not entirely systematic. [[Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics]] can be considered abugidas, although they are rarely thought of in those terms. The largest single group of abugidas is the [[Brahmic family]] of scripts, however, which includes nearly all the scripts used in [[India]] and [[Southeast Asia]]. The name ''abugida'' is derived from the first four characters of an order of the Ge'ez script used in some religious contexts. The term was coined by [[Peter T. Daniels]]. ''See [[List of writing systems]] for a list of abugida-based writing systems.'' === Featural writing systems === A '''featural''' script represents finer detail than an alphabet. Here symbols do not represent whole phonemes, but rather the elements (features) that make up the phonemes, such as [[voicing]] or its [[place of articulation]]. Theoretically, each feature could be written with a separate letter; and abjads or abugidas, or indeed syllabaries, could be featural, but the only prominent system of this sort is [[Korean language|Korean]] [[Hangul]]. In Hangul, the featural symbols are combined into alphabetic letters, and these letters are in turn joined into syllabic blocks, so that the system combines three levels of phonological representation. ''See [[List of writing systems]] for a list of featural writing systems.'' == Directionality == Different scripts are written in different directions. The early alphabet could be written in any direction: either horizontal (left-to-right or right-to-left) or vertical (up or down). It could also be written [[boustrophedon]]: starting horizontally in one direction, then turning at the end of the line and reversing direction. [[Egyptian hieroglyph]] is one such script, where the beginning of a line written horizontally was to be indicated by the direction in which animal and human ideograms are looking. The [[Greek alphabet]] and its successors settled on a left-to-right pattern, from the top to the bottom of the page. Other scripts, such as [[Arabic alphabet|Arabic]] and [[Hebrew alphabet|Hebrew]], came to be written right-to-left. Scripts that incorporate [[Chinese characters]] have traditionally been written vertically (top-to-bottom), from the right to the left of the page, but nowadays are frequently written left-to-right, top-to-bottom, due to [[Western culture|Western]] influences, a growing need to accommodate terms in the [[Roman alphabet]], and technical limitations in popular [[electronic document]] formats. The [[Mongolian_alphabet#Mongolian_script_proper|Mongolian alphabet]] is unique in being the only script written top-to-bottom, left-to-right; this direction originated from an ancestral Semitic direction by rotating the page 90° counter-clockwise to conform to the appearance of Chinese writing. Scripts with lines written away from the writer, from bottom to top, also exist, such as several used in the [[Philippines]] and [[Indonesia]]. == See also == *[[Artificial script]] *[[Calligraphy]] *[[Genealogy of scripts derived from Proto-Sinaitic]] *[[ISO 15924]] - list of "codes for the representation of names of scripts" *[[List of writing systems]] *[[List of inventors of writing systems]] *[[Majuscule]] *[[Minuscule]] *''[[Nü Shu]]'' *[[Official script]] *[[Orthography]] *[[Pasigraphy]] *[[Penmanship]] *[[Shorthand]] *[[Spelling]] *[[Transliteration]] *[[Written language]] In computers and telecommunication systems, graphemes and other grapheme-like units required for text processing are represented by "[[character (computing)|character]]s" that typically manifest in [[character encoding|encoded]] form.

[[Category:Scripts|*]] {{wikipedia}} Word order in Latin 2123 46645 2009-06-26T12:13:15Z Tropylium 756 link cleanup [[Latin]] differs from languages like [[English language|English]] in that it uses many [[noun case]]s which are [[declension|declined]] in such a way that they are nearly all different from each other, and even [[proper noun]]s such as [[name]]s are declined. For example, the ending of the common [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] name ''Marcus'' is different in each of the following sentences due to the different cases in which it is used (the name ''Cornelia'' remains undeclined): *'''Marcus''' hits Cornelia. (Subject-Verb-Object, the most common permutation of expression in English) *Cornelia hits '''Marcum'''. (SVO) *Cornelia gives '''Marco''' a present. (Subject, Verb, [indirect object], [direct] Object, so SVO as well.) *Cornelia shouts: "'''Marce''', '''Marce''', come! It's time for your difficult language homework." (SVO) Declension by case means that word order can be more variable in Latin than in English and other languages&mdash;because a reader or listener can discern the case of a word, it is not necessary to adhere to a strictly defined order. The ordering in the following sentences would be perfectly correct in Latin and no doubt understood with clarity, despite the fact that in English they're awkward at best and senseless at worst: *Cornelia hits '''Marcus'''. (OVS) **But which means: '''Marcus''' hits Cornelia. *'''Marcum''' hits Cornelia. (OVS) **But which means: Cornelia hits '''Marcum'''. *'''Marcum''' Cornelia hits. (OSV) **But which means: Cornelia hits '''Marcum'''. *'''Marco''' gives Cornelia a present. ([indirect object], Verb, Subject, [direct] Object, so VSO) **But which means: Cornelia gives '''Marco''' a present. Nonetheless, the SOV permutation was the most frequent in Classical Latin, except where&mdash;in [[poetry]], for example&mdash;the ordering was often changed for the sake of rhythm or emphasis. Ordinary prose, however, tended to follow the pattern of Subject, Indirect Object, Direct Object, Adverbial Words or Phrases, Verb. Adjectives usually directly followed nouns, unless they were nouns of beauty, size, goodness, or truth, in which case they preceded the noun being modified. However, some Latin writers use word order to add emphasis to certain words in a statement. In [[Virgil|Virgil's]] ''[[Eclogues]]'', for example, he writes, "''Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori!''". (''Love'' conqueres ''all'', let us yield to ''love!'') It is possible to construct a poem with a completely regular rhythm of [[lexical stress|stressed]] and unstressed [[syllable]]s through careful arrangement of the right words in the right order, a feat rendered virtually impossible in English. An example of this form of poetry is the [[dactylic hexameter]]. It should not be believed, however, that Latin word order is completely free. The Romans never wrote in such a free manner. In fact, the placement of words within a sentence, particularly in writing, would have significant meaning. Unfortunately, many students of Latin are never taught this distinction, and instead, they follow the ill-founded idea that word order does not matter. This has led many, including people who should know better, to misunderstand (or be unable to read) many famous examples of Latin. Many [[Slavic language]]s, such as [[Russian]] and [[Polish]]&mdash;though not [[Bulgarian]]&mdash;also have many noun cases, making variable word order possible as in Latin. ==See also== * [[Word order]] * [[Linguistic typology]] [[Category:Latin]] {{wikipedia}} File:WritingSystemsoftheWorld3.png 2124 7736 2006-03-03T06:07:26Z Denihilonihil 119 I created this originally for Wikipedia.

Russian 2125 50153 2009-11-06T14:04:57Z Tropylium 756 /* Classification */ redlink rarification '''Russian''' (Russian: русский язык, ''russkiy yazyk'', {{IPA|['ru.skʲɪj jɪ.'zɨk]}}) is the most widely spoken language of Eurasia and the most widespread of the [[Slavic languages]]. Russian belongs to the family of [[Indo-European languages]]. Within the Slavic family, Russian is one of the three [[East Slavic languages]], the other two being [[Belarusian]] and [[Ukrainian]]. Written examples of East Slavonic are attested from the 10th century onwards. While Russian preserves much of East Slavonic synthetic-inflexional structure and a [[Common Slavonic]] word base, modern Russian exhibits a large stock of borrowed international vocabulary for politics, science, and technology. A language of great political importance in the 20th century, Russian is one of the official languages of the United Nations. <small>'''NOTE'''. Russian is written in a non-Latin script. All examples below are in the [[Cyrillic]] alphabet, with transcriptions in [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]].</small> ==Classification== Russian is a [[Slavic language]] in the Indo-European family. From the point of view of the [[spoken language]], its closest relatives are [[Belarusian]] and [[Ukrainian]], the other two national languages in the [[East Slavic languages|East Slavic]] group. In many places in Ukraine and Belarus, these languages are spoken interchangeably. The basic vocabulary, principles of word-formation, and, to some extent, inflexions and literary style of Russian have been heavily influenced by [[Church Slavonic]], a developed and partly adopted form of the [[South Slavic languages|South Slavic]] [[Old Church Slavonic]] language used by the Russian Orthodox Church. Many words in modern literary Russian are closer in form to the modern [[Bulgarian]] language than to Ukrainian or Belarusian. However, the East Slavic forms have tended to remain in the various dialects that are experiencing a rapid decline. In some cases, both the East Slavic and the Church Slavonic forms are in use, with slightly different meanings. For details, see [[History of the Russian language]]. Outside the Slavic languages, the vocabulary and literary style of Russian have been greatly influenced by [[Greek]], [[Latin]], [[French]], [[German]], and [[English]]. ==Geographic distribution== Russian is primarily spoken in [[Russia]] and, to a lesser extent, the other countries that were once constituent republics of the [[Soviet Union|USSR]]. Until [[1917]], it was the sole official language of the [[Russian Empire]]. During the Soviet period, the policy toward the languages of the various other ethnic groups fluctuated in practice. Though each of the constituent republics had its own official language, the unifying role and superior status was reserved for Russian. Following the break-up of [[1991]], several of the newly independent states have encouraged their native languages, which has partly reversed the privileged status of Russian, though its role as the language of post-Soviet national intercourse throughout the region has continued. In [[Latvia]], notably, its official recognition and legality in the classroom have been a topic of considerable debate in a country where more than one-third of the population is Russian-speaking, consisting mostly of post-[[World War II]] immigrants from Russia and other parts of the former [[USSR]] (Belarus, Ukraine). Similarly, in [[Estonia]], the Soviet-era immigrants and their Russian-speaking descendants constitute about one quarter of the country's current population. A much smaller Russian-speaking minority in [[Lithuania]] has largely been assimilated during the decade of independence and currently represent less than 1/10 of the country's overall population. In the twentieth century it was widely taught in the schools of the members of the old [[Warsaw Pact]] and in other countries that used to be satellites of the USSR, especially in [[Poland]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Yugoslavia]], and [[Czechoslovakia]]. However, younger generations are usually not fluent in it, because Russian is no longer mandatory in the school system. It was, and still is, to a lesser extent, widely taught in Asian countries such as Laos, [[Vietnam]] and [[Mongolia]] due to Soviet influence, and is still used as a [[lingua franca]] in [[Afghanistan]] by various tribes. Russian is also spoken in [[Israel]] by at least 750,000 ethnic [[Jew|Jewish]] immigrants from the former [[Soviet Union]] (1999 census). The Israeli press and websites regularly publish material in Russian. Sizeable Russian-speaking communities also exist in [[North America]] (especially in large urban centers of the [[US]] and [[Canada]] such as [[New York]], [[Los Angeles]], [[San Francisco]], [[Toronto]], [[Miami]], and [[Chicago]]). In the first two of them, Russian-speaking groups total over half a million. In a number of locations they issue their own newspapers, and live in their self-sufficient neighborhoods (especially the generation of immigrants who started arriving in the early sixties). It is important to note, however, that only about a quarter of them are ethnic Russians. Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the overwhelming majority were Russian-speaking [[Jews]]. Afterwards the influx from the countries of the former [[Soviet Union]] changed the statistics somewhat. According to the [[United States 2000 Census]], Russian was reported as language spoken at home by 1.50% of population, or about 4.2 million, placing it as #10 language in the [[United States]]. Significant Russian-speaking groups also exist in Western Europe. These have been fed by several waves of immigrants since the beginning of the twentieth century, each with its own flavour of language. [[Germany]], [[Britain]], [[Spain]], [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Belgium]], and [[Greece]] have significant Russian-speaking communities totaling 3 million people. Two thirds of them are actually Russian-speaking descendants of [[Germans]], [[Greeks]], [[Jews]], [[Armenians]], or [[Ukrainians]] who either repatriated after the [[USSR]] collapsed or are just looking for temporary employment. But many are well-off Russian families acquiring property and getting education. Earlier, the descendants of the Russian émigrés tended to lose the tongue of their ancestors by the third generation. Now, when the border is more open, Russian is likely to survive longer, especially when many of the emigrants visit their homelands at least once a year and also have access to Russian websites and TV channels. Recent estimates of the total number of speakers of Russian: {| align=center cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 border=0 |- !Source||Native speakers||Native Rank||Total speakers||Total rank |- |G. Weber, "Top Languages",<br>''Language Monthly'',<br>3: 12-18, 1997, ISSN 1369-9733||160,000,000||8||285,000,000||5 |- |World Almanac (1999)||145,000,000||8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2005)||275,000,000||5 |- |SIL (2000 WCD)||145,000,000||8||255,000,000||5-6 (tied with Arabic) |- |CIA World Factbook (2005)||160,000,000||8|| |} ===Official status=== Russian is the official language of [[Russia]], and an official language of [[Belarus]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], the [[Autonomous Republic of Crimea]] ([[Ukraine]]) and the [[List of unrecognized countries|unrecognized]] [[Moldovan Republic of Transnistria]]. It is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. Education in Russian is still a popular choice for many of the both native and RSL (Russian as a second language) speakers in Russia and many of the former Soviet republics. 97% of the public school students of Russia, 75% in Belarus, 41% in Kazakhstan, 24% in [[Ukraine]], 23% in Kyrgyzstan, 21% in [[Moldova]], 7% in [[Azerbaijan]], 5% in [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] received their education only or mostly in Russian, although the corresponding percentage of ethnic Russians was 80% in [[Russia]], 11% in [[Belarus]], 27% in [[Kazakhstan]], 17% in [[Ukraine]], 9% in [[Kyrgyzstan]], 6% in [[Moldova]], 2% in [[Azerbaijan]], 1.5% in [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]. ===Dialects=== Despite levelling after 1900, especially in matters of vocabulary, a large number of dialects exist in Russia. Some linguists divide the dialects of the Russian language into two primary regional groupings, "Northern" and "Southern", with [[Moscow]] lying on the zone of transition between the two. Others divide the language into three groupings, Northern, Central and Southern, with [[Moscow]] lying in the Central region. [[Dialectology]] within Russia recognizes dozens of smaller-scale variants. The dialects often show distinct and non-standard features of pronunciation and intonation, vocabulary, and grammar. Some of these are relics of ancient usage now completely discarded by the standard language. Also cf. [[Moscow]] pronunciation of "-чн-", e.g. "булошная" (''buloshnaya'' - bakery) instead of "булочная" (''bulochnaya''). The northern dialects typically pronounce unstressed {{IPA|/o/}} clearly (the phenomenon called okanye ''оканье''); the southern palatalize the final {{IPA|/t/}} and [[aspirate]] the {{IPA|/ɡ/}} into {{IPA|/h/}}. It should be noted that some of these features are also present in modern [[Ukrainian]], indicating a linguistic continuum or strong influence one way or the other. Among the first to study Russian dialects was [[Mikhail Lomonosov|Lomonosov]] in the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth, [[Vladimir Dal|Vladimir Dal]] compiled the first dictionary that included dialectal vocabulary. Detailed mapping of Russian dialects began at the turn of the twentieth century. In modern times, the monumental ''Dialectological Atlas of the Russian Language'' (''Диалектологический атлас русского языка'' {{IPA|/dʲəʌˈlʲektəlʌˈɡʲiʨəskʲəj ˈatləs ˈruskəvə jəzɨˈka/}}), was published in 3 folio volumes 1986-1989, after four decades of preparatory work. The ''standard language'' is based on the Moscow dialect. ===Derived languages=== *[[Fenia]] or [[Fenka]], a criminal [[lingo]] of ancient origin, with Russian grammar, but with distinct vocabulary. * [[Surzhyk]] is a Ukrainian-Russian pidgin spoken in some rural areas of Ukraine * [[Trasianka]] is a Belarusian-Russian mix (sort of [[pidgin]]) used by a large portion of the rural population in [[Belarus]]. *[[Russenorsk]] is an extinct [[pidgin]] language with Russian vocabulary and [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] grammar, used for communication between [[Russians]] and [[Norwegians]] in [[Svalbard]] and [[Kola Peninsula]]. * [[Runglish]]: Russian-English pidgin. ==Writing system== ===Alphabet=== [[Image:Meletius Smotrisky Cyrillic Alphabet.PNG|thumb|[[Meletius Smotrytsky]] presented the Cyrillic alphabet in this [[1619]] publication describing the "Slavonic" language.]] {{main|Russian alphabet}} Russian is written using a modified version of the [[Cyrillic|Cyrillic (кириллица)]] alphabet, consisting of 33 letters.

For information on an informal approach on transliterating Russian into English, see the article [[Romanization of Russian|Transliteration of Russian into English]]. ===Orthography=== {{main|Russian orthography}} Russian spelling is reasonably phonetic in practice. It is in fact a balance among phonetics, morphology, etymology, and grammar, and, like that of most living languages, has its share of inconsistencies and controversial points. The current spelling follows the major reform of 1918, and the final codification of 1956. An update proposed in the late 1990's has met a hostile reception, and has not been formally adopted. The punctuation, originally based on Byzantine Greek, was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries reformulated on the French and German models. ==Sounds== {{main|Russian phonology}} The phonological system of Russian is inherited from [[Common Slavonic]], but underwent considerable modification in the early historical period, before being largely settled by about 1400. The language possesses five vowels, which are written with different letters depending on whether or not the preceding consonant is [[palatalization|palatalized]]. The consonants typically come in plain vs. palatalized pairs, which are traditionally called ''hard'' and ''soft.'' (The 'hard' consonants are often [[velarization|velarized]], some dialects only velarize /l/ in such positions). The standard language, based on the Moscow dialect, possesses heavy stress and moderate variation in pitch. Stressed vowels are somewhat lengthened, while unstressed vowels (except {{IPA|/u/}}) tend to be reduced to an unclear [[schwa]]. The Russian [[syllable]] structure can be quite complex with both initial and final consonant clusters of up to 4 consecutive sounds. Using a formula with V standing for the nucleus (vowel) and C for each consonant the structure can be described as follows: (C)(C)(C)(C)V(C)(C)(C)(C) ===Consonants=== {| border="2" cellpadding="5" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; line-height: 1.2em; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; font-family: Doulos SIL, GentiumAlt, Lucida Sans Unicode, Gentium, Code2000, Chrysanthi Unicode, TITUS Cyberbit Basic, Bitstream Cyberbit, Bitstream Vera, Arial Unicode MS, Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro, Lucida Grande; font-family /**/:inherit; font-size: 110%; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid;" |- style="font-size: 80%;" | &nbsp; ! colspan="2" | [[Labial consonant|Labial]] ! colspan="2" | [[Dental consonant|Dental]] &<br>[[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] ! colspan="2" | [[Postalveolar consonant|Post-<br>alveolar]] !

While /k/, /g/, /x/ do have palatalized [[allophone]]s {{IPA|[kʲ, gʲ, xʲ]}}, only {{IPA|/kʲ/}} might be considered a phoneme, though it is marginal and generally not considered distinctive. Palatalization means that the center of the tongue is raised during and after the articulation of the consonant. In the case of {{IPA|/tʲ/ and /dʲ/}}, the tongue is raised enough to produce slight frication (affricate sounds). {{IPA|/t, d, ʦ, s, z, n and r/)}} are [[dental consonant|dental]], that is pronounced with the tongue against the teeth rather than against the [[alveolar ridge]]. ==Grammar== {{main|Russian grammar}} Russian has preserved an [[Indo-European]] [[Synthetic language|synthetic]]-[[inflection|inflexional]] structure, although considerable levelling has taken place. Russian grammar encompasses * a highly [[Synthetic language|synthetic]] '''morphology''' * a '''syntax''' that, for the literary language, is the conscious fusion of three elements: ** a polished [[vernacular]] foundation; ** a [[Church Slavonic]] inheritance; ** a [[Western Europe]]an style. The spoken language has been influenced by the literary, but continues to preserve characteristic forms. The dialects show various non-standard grammatical features, some of which are archaisms or descendants of old forms since discarded by the literary language. ==Vocabulary== [[Image:1694 Russian ABC book page.GIF|thumb|This page from an "ABC" book printed in Moscow in 1694 shows the letter '''П'''.]] See [[History of the Russian language]] for an account of the successive foreign influences on the Russian language. The total number of words in Russian is difficult to reckon because of the ability to agglutinate and create manifold compounds, diminutives, etc. (see [[Russian grammar#Word Formation|Word Formation]] under [[Russian grammar]]). The number of listed words or entries in some of the major dictionaries published during the last two centuries, and the total vocabulary of [[Pushkin]] (who is credited with greatly augmenting and codifying literary Russian), are as follows: {| align="center" cellpadding="4" style="text-align:left" |- ! Work||Year||Words||Notes |- |Academic dictionary, I Ed.||1789-1794||43,257||Russian and Church Slavonic with some Old Russian vocabulary |- |Academic dictionary, II Ed||1806-1822||51,388||Russian and Church Slavonic with some Old Russian vocabulary |- |Pushkin opus||1810-1837||21,197||- |- |Academic dictionary, III Ed.||1847||114,749||Russian and Church Slavonic with Old Russian vocabulary |- |Dahl's dictionary||1880-1882||195,844||44,000 entries lexically grouped; attempt to catalogue the full vernacular language, includes some properly Ukrainian and Belarusian words |- |Ushakov's dictionary||1934-1940||85,289||Current language with some archaisms |- |Academic dictionary||1950-1965||120,480||full dictionary of the "Modern language" |- |Ozhegov's dictionary||1991||61,458||More or less then-current language |- |Lopatin's dictionary||2000||c.160,000||Orthographic, current language |} Philologists have estimated that the language today may contain as many as 350,000 to 500,000 words. (As a historical aside, [[Vladimir Ivanovich Dal|Dahl]] was, in the second half of the nineteenth century, still insisting that the proper spelling of the adjective ''русский'', which was at that time applied uniformly to all the Orthodox Eastern Slavic subjects of the Empire, as well as to its one official language, be spelled ''руский'' with one s, in accordance with ancient tradition and what he termed the "spirit of the language". He was contradicted by the philologist Grot, who distinctly heard the s lengthened or doubled). ===The language of abuse and invective=== ''Main article'': '''''[[Mat (language)]]''''' Apparently, the ability to curse effectively has always been recognized as a form of art not only in certain quarters of society, but even by the more conservative-minded literati. For example, as far back as in the nineteenth-century naval yarns of [[Staniukovich]], "artistic invective" (''артистическая ругань'' {{IPA|/ər.t&#690;&#618;.&#712;s&#690;t&#690;i.&#680;ə.skə.jə &#712;ru.ɡən&#690;/}}) keeps coming out of the sailors' mouths, though it is never spelled out. The ability to agglutinate has produced the so-called "three-decker curse" (''трёхэтажный мат'' {{IPA|/&#712;tr&#690;o.x&#603;&#712;ta.ʐnəj &#712;mat/}}). ===Proverbs and sayings === ''Main article'': '''''[[Russian proverbs]], [[Russian sayings]]''''' Russian language is replete with many hundreds of proverbs (''пословица'' {{IPA|/p&#652;.'slo.v&#690;i.&#678;ə/}}) and sayings (''поговоркa'' {{IPA|/pə.ɡ&#652;.'vo.rkə/}}). These were already tabulated by the seventeenth century, and collected and studied in the nineteenth and twentieth, with the folk-tales being an especially fertile source. ==History and examples== {{main|History of the Russian language}} ''See also'': [[Reforms of Russian orthography]] The history of Russian language may be divided into the following periods. *[[History of Russian language#Origins|Origins]] *[[History of Russian language#The Kievan period (9th-11th centuries)|The Kievan period (9th-11th centuries)]] *[[History of Russian language#Feudal breakup (12th-14th centuries) |Feudal breakup (12th-14th centuries)]] *[[History of Russian language#The Moscovite period (15th-17th centuries) |The Moscovite period (15th-17th centuries)]] *[[History of Russian language#Empire (18th-19th centuries) |Empire (18th-19th centuries)]] *[[History of Russian language#Soviet period and beyond (20th century) |Soviet period and beyond (20th century)]] ''See also:'' *[[History of Russian language#Examples |Examples of literary language (12-20th century)]] Judging by the historical records, by approximately 1000 AD the predominant ethnic group over much of modern European [[Russia]], [[Ukraine]], and [[Belarus]] was the Eastern branch of the [[Slavs]], speaking a closely related group of dialects. The political unification of this region into [[Kievan Rus]], from which both modern Russia and Ukraine trace their origins, was soon followed by the adoption of [[Christianity]] in 988-9 and the establishment of [[Old Church Slavonic]] as the liturgical and literary language. Borrowings and calques from Byzantine [[Greek]] began to enter the vernacular at this time, and simultaneously the literary language began to be modified in its turn to become more nearly Eastern Slavic. Dialectal differentiation accelerated after the breakup of Kievan Rus' in approximately 1100, and the Mongol conquest of the thirteenth century. After the disestablishment of the "Tartar yoke" in the late fourteenth century, both the political centre and the predominant dialect in European Russia came to be based in [[Moscow]]. There is some consensus that Russian and Ukrainian can be considered distinct languages from this period ''at the latest''. The official language remained a kind of Church Slavonic until the close of the seventeenth century, but, despite attempts at standardization, as by [[Meletius Smotrytsky]] c.&nbsp;1620, its purity was by then strongly compromised by an incipient secular literature. The political reforms of [[Peter I of Russia|Peter the Great]] were accompanied by a reform of the alphabet, and achieved their goal of secularization and Westernization. Blocks of specialized vocabulary were adopted from the languages of Western Europe. By [[1800]], a significant portion of the gentry spoke [[French]], less often [[German]], on an everyday basis. The modern literary language is usually considered to date from the time of [[Alexander Pushkin]] in the first third of the nineteenth century. {{Listen|filename=Ru-Zimniy vecher.ogg|title=Winter Evening|description=Reading of excerpt of Pushkin's "Winter Evening" (Зимний вечер), 1825.|format=[[Ogg]]}} The political upheavals of the early twentieth century and the wholesale changes of political ideology gave written Russian its modern appearance after the spelling reform of 1918. Political circumstances and Soviet accomplishments in military, scientific, and technological matters (especially cosmonautics), gave Russian a world-wide if occasionally grudging prestige, especially during the middle third of the twentieth century. Since the collapse of 1990-91, fashion for ways and things Western, economic uncertainties and difficulties within the educational system have made for inevitable rapid change in the language. Russian today is a tongue in great flux. ==References== The following serve as references for both this article and the related articles listed below that describe the Russian language: ===In English=== * {{cite book|title= Introduction to the Phonological History of the Slavic Languages|author=Carleton, T.R.|year=1991|publisher=Slavica Press|location= Columbus, Ohio |}} * {{cite book|author=Comrie, B., G.

In many languages, changes in word order occur due to topicalization or in questions. However, most languages are generally assumed to have a basic word order. That word order is '''unmarked'''. That is, it contains no extra information to the listener. For example, [[English]] is SVO (subject-verb-object), as in ''I don't know this'' but OSV is also possible: ''This I don't know''. This process is called '''[[topic-prominent language|topic-fronting]]''' (also '''topicalization''') and is extremely common. OSV in English is a '''marked''' word order because it emphasises the object. An example of OSV being used for emphasis: :'''A''': ''I can't see Alice.'' :'''B''': ''What about Bill?'' :'''A''': ''Bill I can see.'' (rather than ''I can see Bill'') ===Sentence word orders=== These are all possible word orders for the subject, verb, and object in the order of most common to rarest: *[[Subject Object Verb|SOV]] languages include the prototypical [[Japanese]], [[Turkish]] and [[Korean]], as well as many others using this most common word order. Some, like [[Persian]], have SOV normal word order but conform less to the general tendencies of other such languages. :*[[V2 word order|Verb-second]], or V2, languages, such as [[Dutch]], [[German]], [[Swedish]] and [[Norwegian]] have SOV characteristics in subordinate clauses. *[[Subject Verb Object|SVO]] languages include [[English]], [[French]] and [[Kiswahili]]. :*[[Chinese]], while appearing to be an SVO language, has a [[topic-comment]]-based structure. *[[Verb Subject Object|VSO]] languages include [[Classical Arabic]], the [[Insular Celtic languages]] and [[Hawai'ian]]. *[[Verb Object Subject|VOS]] languages include [[Fijian]] and [[Malagasy]]. *[[Object Subject Verb|OSV]] languages include [[Xavante]]. *[[Object Verb Subject|OVS]] languages include [[Hixkaryana]]. *Others, such as [[Latin]] and [[Finnish]] have no "standard" word order (although in the case of both languages SOV is the most frequent word order), meaning that the sentence structure is extremely flexible. It is not understood why word orders with the subject before the object are much more common than word orders with the object before the subject. It must be noted that in most languages there is the tendency to identify the subject with the [[topic (linguistics)|topic]] (who or what is being talked about) and to place the topic at the beginning of the sentence so as to establish the context quickly. Some languages can be said to have more than one basic word order. French is SVO, but it incorporates or [[clitic]]izes objective pronouns before the verb. This makes French SOV in some sentences. However, speaking of a language having a given word order is generally understood as a reference to the basic, unmarked, non-emphatic word order for sentences with constituents expressed by full nouns or noun phrases. ===Phrase word orders and branching=== {{main|Branching (linguistics)}} There are several common correlations between sentence-level word order and phrase-level constituent order. For example, SOV languages generally put [[modifier]]s ([[adjective]]s and [[adverb]]s) before what they modify (nouns and verbs), and use [[postposition]]s. VSO languages tend to place modifiers after their heads, and use [[preposition]]s. For SVO languages, either order is possible. For example, French (SVO) uses prepositions (''dans la voiture'', ''à gauche''), and places adjectives after (''une voiture grande''). However, a small class of adjectives generally go before their heads. On the other hand, in English (also SVO) adjectives always go before nouns (''a big car''), and adverbs can go either way, but initially is more common (''greatly improved''). ==Further Reading== *[http://www.exc.com/JoelHoffman/Publications/JMH-Thesis.pdf Syntactic and Paratactic Word Order Effects] ([[PDF]]) Analysis of different types of word order variations across languages.

[[Category:Syntax]] {{wikipedia}} Slavic languages 2127 47454 2009-07-22T08:03:22Z Tropylium 756 /* Differentiation of Slavic languages */ rm redlinks The '''Slavic languages''' (also called '''Slavonic languages'''), a group of closely related [[language|languages]] of the [[Slavic peoples]] and a subgroup of [[Indo-European languages]], have speakers in most of [[Eastern Europe]], in much of the [[Balkans]], in parts of [[Central Europe]], and in the northern part of [[Asia]]. ==Branches== Scholars divide the Slavic languages into three main branches, some of which feature sub-branches: * '''[[East Slavic languages|East Slavic]]''', including [[Russian]], [[Ukrainian]], [[Belarusian]], [[Rusyn]] * '''[[West Slavic languages|West Slavic]]''', which further subdivide into: ** [[Czech]] and [[Slovak]], ** [[Upper Sorbian language|Upper]] and [[Lower Sorbian language|Lower]] [[Sorbian language|Sorbian]] (minority languages in [[Germany]]), ** [[Lechitic languages]]: [[Polish]], [[Pomeranian]]/[[Kashubian]] and extinct [[Polabian]]. * '''[[South Slavic languages|South Slavic]]''', which further subdivide into: ** Western subgroup composed of [[Slovenian language|Slovenian]], [[Serbian]], [[Croatian]] and [[Bosnian]]. Slavicists often group the latter three together as the [[Serbo-Croatian language]]. ** Eastern subgroup composed of [[Bulgarian]] and [[Macedonian]]. (Some slavicists, especially those in Bulgaria and Greece, regard Macedonian as a "regional norm" of the Bulgarian language rather than as a separate language.) Some scientists postulate that a '''[[North Slavic languages|North Slavic]]''' branch has existed as well; the [[Old Novgorod dialect]] would be a remnant of it.{{fact}} On the other hand, the term "North Slavic" is also used sometimes to combine the West and East Slavic languages into one group, in opposition to the South Slavic languages. The oldest Slavic [[literary language]] was [[Old Church Slavonic]], which later evolved into [[Church Slavonic]]. <table align=center class="wikitable"> <tr><td align=center>[[Image:Slavic_languages.jpg|Distribution of Slavic languages]]</td></tr> <tr><td align=center>Map of Slavic languages in Europe</td></tr> </table> The tripartite division of the Slavic languages does not take into account the spoken [[dialect]]s of each language. Of these, certain so-called transitional dialects and hybrid dialects often bridge the gaps between different languages, showing similarities that do not stand out when comparing Slavic literary (i.e., standard) languages. Enough differences exist between the various Slavic dialects and languages to make communication between speakers of different Slavic languages difficult. Within the individual Slavic languages, dialects may vary to a lesser degree, as those of Russian, or to a much greater degree, as those of Slovenian. Modern mass media, however, has helped to minimize variation in all the Slavic languages. Note too that historical inter-Slav cultural currents, such as the influence of South Slavic Old Church Slavonic and of South Slavic scholars on Russian, have exercised some re-unifying influence. ==History== ===Common roots and ancestry=== All Slavic languages are descendants of [[Proto-Slavic language|Proto-Slavic]], their [[parent language]]. According to some [[historical linguistics]] theories, Proto-Slavic in turn developed from the [[Proto-Balto-Slavic]] language, a common ancestor of [[Proto-Baltic]], the parent of the Baltic languages. According to this theory, the "[[Urheimat]]" of Proto-Balto-Slavic lay in the territories surrounding today's [[Lithuania]] at some time after the Indo-European language community had separated into different dialect regions (c. 3000 BC). Slavic and Baltic speakers share at least 289 words which could have come from that hypothetical language. According to some linguists the process of separation of Proto-Slavic speakers from Proto-Baltic speakers presumably occurred around 1000 BC. Some linguists maintain however, that the Slavic group of languages differs more radically from the neighboring Baltic group ([[Lithuanian]], [[Latvian]], and the now-extinct [[Old Prussian]]). The Baltic language speakers once lived in a much larger area along the [[Baltic Sea]] and south. Starting by AD 600 Slavic language speakers gradually spread and took over large areas of Baltic settlements. (At the same time records note them taking over portions of [[Greece]].) (The first documented attempt at conquest of Baltic speakers by Slavic speakers comes from Adalbert of Prague in the year AD 997.) This group of linguists explain Baltic/Slavic similarities in grammar and vocabulary as a result of this Slav migration into the Baltic-speaking areas and the subsequent proximity of the two groups. A minority of linguists, spurred by the idea of "[[geolinguistics]]", view the southern branch of the Slavic languages as possibly [[autochthonous]] to the Balkans. ===Differentiation of Slavic languages=== In the opinion of [[linguist]]s, probably even in the 10th&ndash;12th centuries all Slavs spoke generally the same language, with recognizable regional differences. Linguistic differentiation received impetus from the dispersion of the Slavic peoples over large territory - which in Central Europe exceeded the current extent of Slavic-speaking majorities. Written documents of the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries already have some local linguistic features. For example the [[Freising monuments]] show a language which contains some phonetic and lexical elements peculiar to Slovenian dialects (e.g. [[rhotacism]], the word ''krilatec''). ===Separation of South and West Slavs=== The movement of Slavic-speakers into the [[Balkans]] in the declining centuries of the [[Byzantine empire]] expanded the area of Slavic speech, but pre-existing languages (notably Greek) survived in this area. The arrival of the Hungarians in [[Pannonia]] in the [[9th century]] interposed non-Slavic speakers between South and West Slavs. [[Franks|Frankish]] conquests completed the geographical separation between these two groups, severing the connection between Slavs in [[Lower Austria]] ([[Moravians]]) from those in present-day [[Styria (state)|Styria]], [[Carinthia (state)|Carinthia]] and [[East Tyrol]], ancestors of present-day [[Slovenians]]. ===Slavic-speaking populations under foreign rule=== Political situations have also affected the use and scope of the Slavic languages. In the course of their history, many Slavic-speaking communities came under foreign rule for longer or shorter periods. [[Poland]] underwent partition, [[German language |German-speaking]] empires appeared to absorb the [[Czech people|Czechs]] for many centuries, and the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] in their hey-day dominated the [[Balkan]] Slavs. Even the [[Eastern Slavs]] had to submit to the [[Tatar yoke]] after the [[Mongol invasion of Rus]]. The largest geographical extent of Slavic population, which in the [[Middle Ages]] included the majority of the present-day [[Germany|German]] lands of [[Brandenburg]] and [[Pomerania]], diminished in the course of the German ''[[Drang nach Osten]]''. [[Ottoman Empire|Turk]]ish incursions suppressed the regional hegemonies of Bulgarian and Serbian speakers; Poland suffered decline, partition and extinction as a separate national state in the 18th century. Until the 20th century, certain speech-groups (such as speakers of Slovenian) lacked the resources to establish their own distinctive independent nation-states. Other communities (speakers of [[Sorbian]] or of [[Kashubian]], for example) remain as minorities in the current system of nation-states. Some speech-communities have long stood under the influence of others -- even other Slavs: speakers of Ukrainian and Belarusian came under Polish and/or Russian rule; German-speaking overlords have long dominated the Sorbian-speakers. In the case of Czech- and Slovak-speakers, originally kindred languages diverged when the former came under German rule, the latter under Hungarian. The same division marks the now well-established border between the Slovenian and Croatian language areas, even if some bordering dialects of the two languages indicate an almost smooth transition. Despite their frequent lack of political power, speakers of Slavic languages demonstrated resilience, sometimes culturally taking over foreign political rulers, as in [[Bulgaria]], where [[Bulgar]] overlords became Slavicized. Similarly, in the [[Republic of Dubrovnik]] [[Croatian language|Croatian]] became an official language in parallel to [[Dalmatian language|Ragusan Dalmatian]] and [[Latin]]. Even under the [[Ottoman Empire]], south-eastern Europe, except for [[Greece]] proper and [[Albania]]n, Romanian and Hungarian areas, remained Slavic speaking. ==Slavic influence on neighboring languages== The [[Romanian]] and [[Hungarian]] languages witness the influence of the neighboring Slavic nations, especially in the vocabulary pertaining to crafts and trade; the major cultural innovations at times when few long-range cultural contacts took place. Despite a comparable extent of historical proximity, the [[Germanic languages]] show no significant Slavic influence, one notable exception being the word for "border", modern [[German]] ''Grenze'', [[Dutch]] "grens" from the Common Slavic ''*granĭca''. ==Detailed list with ISO 639 and SIL codes== The following tree for the Slavic languages derives from the [[Ethnologue]] report for Slavic languages[http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=90673].

Written in the form of poems(or short hymns), around 200 BC by [[Tolkāppiyar]], is said to be the world's oldest surviving grammar for any language. All the words, poems and literature that came in Tamil language after that followed the grammar as explained by Tolkāppiyam. The name Tolkāppiyam can be split as Tolkāppiyam = Tonmai + kāppiyam. Tonmai means archeologically old and Kappiam is a literature master piece or epic. Over the centuries, many books came interpreting and clarifying Tolkāppiyam. Some of which where the ones written by "Ilampooranar", "Deivachilaiyaaar", "Natchinaarciniyar" etc. They were called as "Urai-asiriyargal"or equivalently explanatory commentators.These commentators explained Tolkāppiyam in their own view and expressed their opinions on the subjects dealt by Tolkāppiyam, in their own times. Many grammar works came in Tamil after Tolkāppiyam, based on that.However,One that is most popular and used in place of Tolkāppiyam now is "Nannūl" written by "Pavananti Munivar". The Tolkāppiyam classifies the Tamil language into "senthamil" and "kotunthamil". The former refers to the classical Tamil used exclusively in literary works and the latter refers to the colloquial Tamil, spoken by the people. The book is based on the analysis of both spoken and written Tamil. [[Image:TolkaappiyamExcerpt.png|thumb|275px|Excerpt from the Tolkāppiyam showing the style of narration]] == Scientific treatment to Natural Language Grammar == The classification of the alphabet into consonants and vowels by splitting the conso-vowels was a scientific breakthrough. Grammatising this phenomenon was also an achievement of that time. The Tolkāppiyam starts by defining the alphabet for optimal writing, grammatises the use of words and syntaxes and moves into higher modes of language analysis. The style and structure of narration of these rules is similar to that of the [[Backus-Naur form]], which was formalised only as recently as [[1963]]. The Tolkāppiyam formulated thirty characters and three diacritic like symbols for Tamil. The 12 vowels combine with the 18 consonants bringing the total tally of characters to <math>247 (12 +18 + (12 x 18) + 1 = 247)</math>. The alphabet has evolved since then. For a detailed treatment of the alphabet see ''[[Tamil alphabet]]''. Though the alphabet has evolved largely, the language as such has remained mostly intact earning the ''[[sobriquet]]'', ''kannith thamil'', which can mean ''ever-young Tamil'' or "virgin Tamil". == Chapters == The Tolkāppiyam is organised into the following three chapters each of which is sub divided into 9 sections. 1. Ezhuththathikaaram 2. Sollathikaaram 3. PoruLathikaaram === Ezhuththathikaaram === Ezhuththathikaaram is further subdivided into the following 9 sections. 1. Nuul Marabu 2. Mozhi Marabu 3. PiRappiyal 4. PuNaRiyal 5. Thokai Marabu 6. Urubiyal 7. Uyir Mayangial 8. PuLLi Mayangial 9. KutriyalukarappunaRiyal ==== Nuul Marabu ==== This section enumerates the characters of the language, organises them into consonants, vowels and diacritic symbols. The vowels are sub classified into short and long vowels based on duration of pronunciation. Similarly, the consonants are sub classified into three categories based on the stress. ==== Mozhi Marabu ==== This section defines rules which specify where in a word can a letter not occur and which letter can not come after a particular letter. It also describes [[elision]], which is the reduction in the duration of sound of a [[phoneme]] when preceded by or followed by certain other sounds. The rules are well-defined and unambiguous. They are categorised into 5 classes based on the phoneme which undergoes elision. # Kutriyalukaram - the (lip unrounded) vowel sound ''u'' # Kutriyalikaram - the vowel sound ''i''(as the vowel in 'lip') # Aiykaarakkurukkam - the [[diphthong]] ''ai'' # Oukaarakkurukkam - the diphthong ''au'' # Aaythakkurukkam - the special character (''aaytham'') ==== PiRappiyal ==== [[Image:TolkaappiyamExcerptArticulatoryPhonetics.png|thumb|right|275px|Excerpt from the Tolkāppiyam on [[articulatory phonetics]]]] This is a section on [[articulatory phonetics]]. It talks about pronunciation methods of the [[phoneme]]s at the level of [[diaphragm]], [[larynx]], jaws, tongue position, teeth, lips and nose. Also, the visual representation of the letters is explained. ==== PuNaRiyal ==== This section talks about the changes to words due to the following word i.e. it specifies rules that govern the transformations on the last phonem of a word (''nilaimozhi iiRu'') because of the first phonem of the following word (''varumozhi muthal'') when used in a sentence. ==== Thokai Marabu ==== {{stubsection}} ==== Urubiyal ==== {{stubsection}} This section talks about the word modifiers that are added at the end of nouns and pronouns when they are used as an object as opposed to when they are used as subjects. ==== Uyir Mayangial ==== {{stubsection}} ==== PuLLi Mayangial ==== {{stubsection}} ==== KutriyalukarappunaRiyal ==== {{stubsection}} === Sollathikaaram === Sollathikaaram deals with words and [[parts of speech]]. It classifies Tamil words into four categories - 1. iyar chol - Words in common usage 2. thiri chol - Words used in Tamil literature 3. vata chol - Words borrowed from Sanskrit 4. thisai chol - Words borrowed from Other Languages There are certain rules to be adhered to in borrowing words from Sanskrit. The borrowed words need to strictly conform to the Tamil phonetic system and be written in the Tamil script. The chapter Sollathikaaram is sub divided into the following 9 sections. 1. KiLaviyaakkam 2. VEtRumaiyiyal 3. VEtrumaimayangial 4. ViLimaRabu 5. Peyariyal 6. Vinaiyiyal 7. Idaiyiyal 8. Uriyiyal 9. Echchaviyal ==== KiLaviyaakkam ==== KiLaviyaakkam literally translates to ''word formation''. This section deals with [[gender]], [[number]], [[person]] etc. ==== VEtRumaiyiyal ==== ==== VEtrumaimayangial ==== ==== ViLimaRabu ==== ==== Peyariyal ==== This section deals with [[noun]]s. ==== Vinaiyiyal ==== This section deals with [[verb]]s. ==== Idaiyiyal ==== ==== Uriyiyal ==== This literally translates to ''the nature or science of qualifiers'' and deals with [[adjective]]s and [[adverb]]s. ==== Echchaviyal ==== === PoruLathikaaram === The Tolkāppiyam is possibly the only book on grammar that describes a ''grammar for [[life]]''. PoruLathikaaram gives the classification of land types, and seasons and defines modes of life for each of the combinations of land types and seasons for different kinds of people. This chapter is subdivided into the following 9 sections. 1. AkaththiNaiyiyal 2. PuRaththiNaiyiyal 3. KaLaviyal 4. KaRpiyal 5. PoruLiyal 6. Meyppaattiyal 7. Uvamayiyal 8. SeyyuLiyal 9. Marabiyal ==== AkaththiNaiyiyal ==== This section defines the modes of personal life i.e. life of couples. ==== PuRaththiNaiyiyal ==== This section defines the modes of one's public life. ==== KaLaviyal ==== ==== KaRpiyal ==== ==== PoruLiyal ==== ==== Meyppaattiyal ==== ==== Uvamayiyal ==== The name ''Uvamayiyal'' literally translates to ''the nature or science of [[metaphor]]s''. ==== SeyyuLiyal ==== This interesting section deals with a grammar for classical [[Tamil Poetry]] based on principles of [[prosody]]. ==== Marabiyal ==== == External links== * [http://www.tamil.net/projectmadurai/pub/pm0100/tolkap.pdf Tolkāppiyam Complete] * [http://arutkural.tripod.com/tolcampus/akam.htm Tolkāppiyam PoruLatikaaram] * [http://www.araichchi.com/Learn/eng-tolkaapiyam.htm Tolkāppiyam partial list] * [http://tamilnation.org/literature/grammar/tolkappiyam.htm Tolkāppiyar's Literary Theory] - Research paper (1996) {{wikipedia}} Topic-prominent language 2129 46623 2009-06-26T11:17:35Z Tropylium 756 link cleanup A '''topic-prominent language''' is one that organizes its [[syntax]] so that [[Sentence (linguistics)|sentence]]s have a topic-comment (or theme-rheme) structure, where the [[topic (linguistics)|topic]] is the thing being talked about (predicated) and the comment is what is said about the topic. This structure is independent of the [[word order|syntactic ordering]] of [[subject (grammar)|subject]], [[verb]] and [[object (grammar)|object]], and may be marked by word order (typically mentioning the topic first thing in the sentence, and then the comment), or by explicit [[morphology (linguistics)|morphology]] (as in [[Japanese language|Japanese]] with the [[clitic]] particle ''wa''). The difference between topic-prominent languages and non-topic-prominent languages is that topic marking is done systematically in the former, while the latter resort to various idiosyncratic means for topicalization. Examples of topic-prominent languages are [[East Asian language]]s such as the [[Chinese language]]s, [[Japanese language|Japanese]], [[Korean]], [[Vietnamese]], [[Malay]], [[Indonesian]], [[Singaporean English]] and [[Malaysian English]], as well as the African [[Somali]]. ==Common features of topic-prominent languages== *They tend to downplay the role of the passive voice, if a passive construction exists at all, since the main idea of passivization is to turn an object into a subject in languages where the subject is understood to be the topic by default. The Japanese passive voice has a specific connotation that restricts its use. *They usually don't have "dummy subjects" ([[dummy pronoun|pleonastic pronoun]]s) like English ''it'' in ''It's raining''. Since topic-prominent languages do not consider the subject, but the topic, to be the most important part of the sentence, it may not matter if there is no apparent subject (see also [[null subject language]], [[pro-drop language]]). *They often have sentences with so-called "double subjects", actually a topic plus a subject, for example: ''Sono yashi wa happa ga ookii'' (Japanese) &mdash; "That palm tree ''(topic)'', leaves ''(subject)'' are big". ==Examples== ===Chinese=== {| | || &#24373;&#19977; || &#25105; || &#24050;&#32147; || &#35211;&#36942; || &#20102;&#12290; |- | Transcription: || ''Zh&#257;ng S&#257;n'' || ''w&#466;'' || ''y&#464;j&#299;ng'' || ''jiànguò'' || ''le.'' |- | Gloss: || Zhang San || I || already || see-<small>EXPERIENCE</small> || <small>NEWSTATE</small> |- | Translation: ||colspan=3| (As for) Zhang San, I've seen (him) already. |} {| | || &#36889;&#26869; || &#27193; || &#33865;&#23376; || &#24456; || &#22823;&#12290; |- | Transcription: || ''Zhè kè'' || ''shù'' || ''yèzi'' || ''h&#283;n'' || ''dà.'' |- | Gloss: || this-<small>MEASURE</small> || tree || leaf || very || big |- | Translation: ||colspan=3| This tree has big leaves. |} ===Japanese=== {| | || &#39770;&#12399; || &#39899;&#12364; || &#32654;&#21619;&#12375;&#12356;&#12290; |- | Transcription: || ''Sakana-wa'' || ''tai-ga'' || ''oishi-i.'' |- | Gloss: || "fish"-<small>TOPIC</small> || "red snapper"-<small>SUBJECT</small> || "be delicious"-<small>NONPAST</small> |- | Translation: ||colspan=3| As for fish, red snapper is delicious. |} ===[[American Sign Language]] (ASL)=== The topic of the sentence, that is the focus of the sentence, is put at the beginning. For example, in translating the English phrase "We are going to the store tomorrow", some possible ASL sentences, literally translated, could be: *"WE GO STORE TOMORROW." *"TOMORROW, STORE WE GO." (Topicalization, TOMORROW is the focus) *"STORE, WE GO TOMORROW." (Topicalization, STORE is the focus)(Proper ASL structure, though, uses the time indicator first, so the proper ASL form would be the second one: "TOMORROW, STORE WE GO.") [[Category:Linguistic typology]] {{wikipedia}} Morphology 2130 56375 2010-10-02T23:03:36Z Tropylium 756 /* Bibliography */ … '''Morphology''' is a sub discipline of [[linguistics]] that studies word structure. While words are generally accepted as being the smallest units of [[syntax]], it is clear that in most (if not all) languages, words can be related to other words by rules. For example, any English speaker can see that the words ''dog'', ''dogs'' and ''dog-catcher'' are closely related. English speakers can also recognize that these relations can be formulated as rules that can apply to many, many other pairs of words. ''Dog'' is to ''dogs'' just as ''cat'' is to ''cats'', or ''[[encyclopædia]]'' is to ''[[encyclopædia]]s''; ''dog'' is to ''dog-catcher'' as ''dish'' is to ''dishwasher''. The rule in the first case is plural formation; in the second case, a [[transitive verb]] and a noun playing the role of its object can form a word. Morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies such rules across and within languages. The term was coined by [[August Schleicher]] in [[1859]]: ''Für die Lehre von der Wortform wähle ich das Wort "Morphologie"'' ("for the science of word formation, I choose the term 'morphology'", ''Mémoires Acad. Impériale'' 7/1/7, 35). == Important concepts == === Lexemes and word forms === The word "word" is ambiguous in common usage. To take up again the example of ''dog'' vs. ''dogs'', there is one sense in which these two are the same "word" (they are both nouns that refer to the same kind of animal, differing only in number), and another sense in which they are different words (they can't generally be used in the same sentences without altering other words to fit; for example, the verbs ''is'' and ''are'' in ''The dog is happy'' and ''The dogs are happy''). The distinction between these two senses of "word" is probably the most important one in morphology. The first sense of "word," the one in which ''dog'' and ''dogs'' are "the same word," is called '''[[lexeme]]'''. The second sense is called '''word form'''. We thus say that ''dog'' and ''dogs'' are different forms of the same lexeme. ''Dog'' and ''dog-catcher'', on the other hand, are different lexemes; for example, they refer to two different kinds of entities. The form of a word that is chosen conventionally to represent the canonical form of a word is called a [[lemma (linguistics)|lemma]] or '''citation form'''. === Inflection vs. word-formation === Given the notion of a lexeme, it is possible to distinguish two kinds of morphological rules. Some morphological rules relate different forms of the same lexeme; while other rules relate two different lexemes. Rules of the first kind are called '''[[Inflection|inflectional rules]]''', while those of the second kind are called '''[[word-formation]]'''. The English plural, as illustrated by ''dog'' and ''dogs'', is an inflectional rule; compounds like ''dog-catcher'' or ''dishwasher'' are an example of a word-formation rule. Informally, word-formation forms "new words" (that is, lexemes), while inflection gives you more forms of the "same" word (lexeme). There is a further distinction between two kinds of word-formation: [[Derivation (linguistics)| derivation]] and [[Compound verb| compounding]]. Compounding is a kind of word-formation which involves combining complete word forms into a '''compound'''; ''dog-catcher'' is a compound, because both ''dog'' and ''catcher'' are words. Derivation involves suffixes or prefixes that are not independent words; the word ''independent'' is derived from the word ''dependent'' by prefixing it with the derivational prefix ''in-'', and ''dependent'' itself is derived from the verb ''depend''. The distinction between inflection and word-formation is not at all clear-cut. There are many examples where linguists fail to agree whether a given rule is inflection or word-formation. However, the next section will clarify this distinction further. === Paradigms and morphosyntax === The notion of a '''paradigm''' is closely related to that of inflection. The paradigm of a lexeme is the set of all of its word forms, organized by their grammatical categories. The familiar examples of paradigms are the [[Grammatical conjugation|conjugations]] of verbs, and the [[Declension|declensions]] of nouns. The word forms of a lexeme can usually be arranged into tables, by classifying them by shared features such as tense, aspect, mood, number, gender or case. For example, the personal pronouns in English can be organized into tables, using the categories of [[grammatical person|person]], [[grammatical number|number]], [[grammatical gender|gender]] and [[grammatical case|case]]. The categories used to group word forms into paradigms cannot be chosen arbitrarily; they must be categories that are relevant to stating the [[syntax|syntactic rules]] of the language. For example, person and number are categories that can be used to define paradigms in English, because English has [[grammatical agreement]] rules that require the verb in a sentence to appear in an inflectional form that matches the person and number of the subject. In other words, the syntactic rules of English care about the difference between ''dog'' and ''dogs'', because it determines which form of the verb must be used; but in contrast, no syntactic rule of English cares about the difference between ''dog'' and ''dog-catcher'', or ''dependent'' and ''independent''. The first two are just nouns, and the second two just adjectives, and they generally behave like any other noun or adjective behaves. The major difference between inflection and word formation is that inflectional forms of lexemes are organized into paradigms, which are defined by the requirements of syntactic rules. The part of morphology that covers the relationship between [[syntax]] and morphology is called [[morphosyntax]], and it concerns itself with inflection and paradigms, but not with word-formation or compounding. === Allomorphy and morphophonology === In the exposition above, morphological rules are described as analogies between word forms: ''dog'' is to ''dogs'' as ''cat'' is to ''cats'', and as ''dish'' is to ''dishes''. In this case, the analogy applies both to the meaning of the words and to their forms: in each pair, the word in the left always means "one of X" and the one on the right "many of X", and at the distinction is always signaled by having the plural form have an ''-s'' at the end, which the singular does not have. One of the largest sources of complexity in morphology is that this sort of one-to-one correspondence between meaning and form hardly ever holds. In English, we have word form pairs like ''ox/oxen'', ''goose/geese'', and ''sheep/sheep'', where the difference between the singular and the plural is signaled in a different way from the regular pattern, or not signalled at all. Even the case we consider "regular", with the final ''-s'', is not quite that simple; the ''-s'' in ''dogs'' is not pronounced the same way as the ''-s'' in ''cats'', and in a plural like ''dishes'', we have an "extra" vowel before the ''-s''. These cases, where the same distinction is effected by different changes of form for different lexemes, are called '''[[allomorph|allomorphy]]'''. There are several kinds of allomorphy. One is pure allomorphy, where the allomorphs are just arbitrary. The most extreme cases here are called [[Suppletion|suppletion]], where two forms related by a morphological rule are just arbitrarily different: for example, the past of ''go'' is ''went'', which is a suppletive form. On the other hand, other kinds of allomorphy are due to interaction between morphology and [[phonology]]. Phonological rules constrain which sounds can appear next to each other in a language, and morphological rules, when applied blindly, would often violate phonological rules, by resulting in impossible sound sequences. For example, if we were to try to form the plural of ''dish'' by just putting a ''-s'' at the end, we'd get ''*dishs'', which is not permitted by the phonology; to "rescue" the word, we put a vowel sound in between, and get ''dishes''. Similar rules apply to the pronunciation of the ''-s'' in ''dogs'' and ''cats'': it depends on the quality (voiced vs. unvoiced) of the preceding [[phoneme]]. The study of allomorphy that results from the interaction of morphology and [[phonology]] is called [[morphophonology]]. Many morphophonological rules fall under the category of [[sandhi]]. === Lexical morphology === [[Lexical morphology]] is the branch of morphology that deals with the [[lexicon]], which, morphologically conceived, is the collection of [[lexeme|lexemes]] in a language. As such, it concerns itself primarily with word-formation: derivation and compounding. == Models of morphology == There are three major families of approaches to morphology, which try to capture the distinctions above in different ways. These are: * [[Morpheme-based morphology]], which makes use of an [[Item-and-Arrangment (Morphology)|Item-and-Arrangement]] approach. * [[Lexeme-based morphology]], which normally makes use of an [[Item-and-Process (Morphology)|Item-and-Process]] approach. * [[Word-based morphology]], which normally makes use of a [[Word-and-Paradigm (Morphology)|Word-and-Paradigm]] approach. Please note that while the associations indicated between the concepts in each item in that list is very strong, it is not absolute. === Morpheme-based morphology === In [[morpheme-based morphology]], word forms are analyzed as sequences of [[morpheme]]s. A '''morpheme''' is defined as the minimal meaningful unit of a language. In a word like ''independently'', we say that the morphemes are ''in-'', ''depend'', ''-ent'', and ''ly''; ''depend'' is the '''root''' and the other morphemes are, in this case, derivational affixes.{{ref|depend-root}} In a word like ''dogs'', we say that ''dog'' is the root, and that ''-s'' is an inflectional morpheme. This way of analyzing word forms as if they were made of morphemes put after each other like beads on a string, is called [[Item-and-Arrangment (Morphology)|Item-and-Arrangement]]. The morpheme-based approach is the first one that beginners to morphology usually think of, and which laymen tend to find the most obvious. This is so to such an extent that very often beginners think that morphemes are an inevitable, fundamental notion of morphology; and many five-minute explanations of morphology are, in fact, five-minute explanations of morpheme-based morphology. This is, however, not so; the fundamental idea of morphology is that the words of a language are related to each other by different kinds of rules. Analyzing words as sequences of morphemes is a way of describing these relations, but is not the only way. In actual academic linguistics, morpheme-based morphology certainly has many adherents, but is by no means absolutely dominant. Applying a morpheme-based model strictly quickly leads to complications when one tries to analyze many forms of allomorphy. For example, it's easy to think that in ''dogs'', we have the root ''dog'', followed by the plural morpheme ''-s''; the same sort of analysis is also straightforward for ''oxen'', with the stem ''ox'', and a [[suppletion|suppletive]] plural morpheme ''-en''. But then, how do we "split up" the word ''geese'' into root + plural morpheme? How do we do so for ''sheep''? Theorists who wish to maintain a strict morpheme-based approach often preserve the idea in cases like these by saying that ''geese'' is ''goose'' followed by a '''[[null morpheme]]''' (a morpheme that has no phonological content), and that the vowel change in the stem is a morphophonological rule. It is also common for morpheme-based analyses to posit null morphemes even in the absence of any allomorphy. For example, if the plural noun ''dogs'' is analyzed as a root ''dog'' followed by a plural morpheme ''-s'', then one might analyze the singular ''dog'' as the root ''dog'' followed by a null morpheme for the singular. === Lexeme-based morphology === [[Lexeme-based morphology]] is (usually) an [[Item-and-Process (Morphology)|Item-and-Process]] approach. Instead of analyzing a word form as a set of morphemes arranged in sequence, we think of a word form as the result of applying rules that ''alter'' a word form or stems, to produce a new one. An inflectional rule takes a stem, does some changes to it, and outputs a word-form; a derivational rule takes a stem, and outputs a derived stem; a compounding rule takes word-forms, and outputs a compound stem. The Item-and-Process approach bypasses the difficulty described above for Item-and-Arrangement approaches. Faced with a plural like ''geese'', we don't have to assume there is a zero-morph; all we say is that while the plural of ''dog'' is formed by adding an ''-s'' to the end, the plural of ''goose'' is formed by changing the vowel in the stem. === Word-based morphology === [[Word-based morphology]] is a (usually) [[Word-and-Paradigm (Morphology)|Word-and-Paradigm]] approach. This kind of theory takes paradigms as a central notion. Instead of stating rules to combine morphemes into word forms, or to generate word-forms from stems, word-based morphology states generalizations that hold between the forms of inflectional paradigms. The major point behind this approach is that many such generalizations are hard to state with either of the other approaches. The examples are usually drawn from [[Fusional language|fusional languages]], where a given "piece" of a word, which a morpheme-based theory would call an inflectional morpheme, corresponds to a combination of grammatical categories, for example, "third person plural." Morpheme-based theories usually have no problems with this situation, since one just says that a given morpheme has two categories. Item-and-Process theories, on the other hand, often break down in cases like these, because they all too often assume that there will be two separate rules here, one for third person, and the other for plural, but the distinction between them turns out to be artificial. Word-and-Paradigm approaches treat these as whole words that are related to each other by [[analogy|analogical]] rules. Words can be categorized based on the pattern that they fit into. This applies both to existing words and to new ones. Application of a different pattern than the one that was used historically can give rise to a new word, such as ''older'' replacing ''elder'' (where ''older'' follows the normal pattern of [[adjective|adjectival]] [[superlative]]s) and ''cows'' replacing ''kine'' (where ''cows'' fits the regular pattern of plural formation). While a Word-and-Paradigm approach can explain this easily, other approaches have difficulty with phenomena such as this. == Morphological typology == ''See the main article, [[morphological typology]]'' In the 19th century, philologists devised a now classic classification of languages in terms of their morphology. According to this typology, some languages are [[isolating language|isolating]], and have little or no morphology; others are [[agglutinative language|agglutinative]], and their words tend to have lots of easily-separable morphemes; while yet others are [[fusional language|fusional]], because their inflectional morphemes are said to be "fused" together. The classic example of an isolating language is [[Chinese]]; the classic example of an agglutinative language is [[Turkish]]; both [[Latin]] and [[Greek]] are classic examples of fusional languages. When one considers the variability of the world's languages, it becomes clear that this classification is not at all clear-cut, and many languages don't neatly fit any one of these types. However, examined against the light of the three general models of morphology described above, it is also clear that the classification is very much biased towards a morpheme-based conception of morphology. It makes direct use of the notion of morpheme in the definition of agglutinative and fusional languages. It describes the latter as having separate morphemes "fused" together (which often does correspond to the history of the language, but not to its [[descriptive linguistics|synchronic]] reality). The three models of morphology stem from attempts to analyze languages that more or less match different categories in this typology. The Item-and-Arrangement approach fits very naturally with agglutinative languages; while the Item-and-Process and Word-and-Paradigm approaches usually address fusional languages. The reader should also note that the classical typology also mostly applies to inflectional morphology. There is very little fusion going on with word-formation. Languages may be classified as synthetic or analytic in their word formation, depending on the preferred way of expressing notions that are not inflectional: either by using word-formation (synthetic), or by using syntactic phrases (analytic). ==Footnotes== # {{note|depend-root}} The existence of words like ''appendix'' and ''pending'' in English does not mean that the English word ''depend'' is analyzed into a derivational prefix ''de-'' and a root ''pend''. While all those were indeed once related to each other by morphological rules, this was so only ''in Latin'', not in English. English borrowed the words from French and Latin, but not the morphological rules that allowed Latin speakers to combine ''de-'' and the verb ''pendere'' 'hang' into the derivative ''dependere''. ==See also== *[[affixation]] *[[bound morpheme]] *[[dependent-marking language]] *[[head-marking language]] *[[inflected language]] *[[morphological typology]] *[[noun case]] *[[root morpheme]] *[[syntactic hierarchy]] *[[uninflected word]] *[[distributed morphology]] *[[nonconcatenative morphology]] *[[unpaired word]] ==Bibliography== * Bauer, Laurie.

Autonomous or Independent linguistics considers languages for their own sake, aside from the externalities related to a language. Sometimes the terms '''macrolinguistics''' and '''microlinguistics''' are used for the corresponding terms of this dichotomy. Given these dichotomies, scholars who call themselves simply ''linguists'' or ''theoretical linguists'', with no further qualification, tend to be concerned with autonomous, theoretical synchronic linguistics, which is acknowledged as the core of the discipline. Linguistic [[research|inquiry]] is pursued by a wide variety of specialists, who may not all be in harmonious agreement; as [[Russ Rymer]] flamboyantly puts it: <blockquote>"Linguistics is arguably the most hotly contested property in the academic realm. It is soaked with the blood of [[poet]]s, [[theology|theologian]]s, [[philosopher]]s, [[philology|philologist]]s, [[psychologist]]s, [[biologist]]s, and [[neurology|neurologist]]s, along with whatever blood can be got out of [[grammarian]]s." [[Linguistics#References|1]]</blockquote> == Levels of theoretical linguistics == [[Theoretical linguistics]] is often divided into a number of separate areas, to be studied more or less independently. The following divisions are currently widely acknowledged: * [[Phonetics]], the study of the sounds of human language * [[Phonology]] (or phonemics), the study of patterns of a language's basic sounds * [[Morphology (linguistics)|Morphology]], the study of the internal structure of words * [[Syntax]], the study of how words combine to form grammatical sentences * [[Semantics]], the study of the meaning of words ([[lexical semantics]]), and how these combine to form the meanings of sentences * [[Pragmatics]], the study of how utterances are used (literally, figuratively, or otherwise) in communicative acts * [[Historical linguistics]], the study of languages whose historical relations are recognizable through similarities in vocabulary, word formation, and syntax * [[Linguistic typology]], the study of the grammatical features that are employed across all human languages * [[Stylistics (linguistics)|Stylistics]], the study of style in languages * [[Discourse analysis]], the study of sentences organised into texts The independent significance of each of these areas is not universally acknowledged, however, and nearly all linguists would agree that the divisions overlap considerably. Nevertheless, each area has core concepts that foster significant scholarly inquiry and research. == Diachronic linguistics == Whereas the core of theoretical linguistics is concerned with studying languages at a particular point in time (usually the present), diachronic linguistics examines how language changes through time, sometimes over centuries. Historical linguistics enjoys both a rich history (the study of linguistics grew out of historical linguistics) and a strong theoretical foundation for the study of [[language change]]. In American universities, the non-historic perspective seems to have the upper hand. Many introductory linguistics classes, for example, cover historical linguistics only cursorily. The shift in focus to a non-historic perspective started with [[Ferdinand de Saussure|Saussure]] and became predominant with [[Noam Chomsky]]. Explicitly historical perspectives include [[historical-comparative linguistics]] and [[etymology]]. == Applied linguistics == Whereas theoretical linguistics is concerned with finding and [[descriptive linguistics|describing]] generalities both within particular languages and among all languages, [[applied linguistics]] takes the results of those findings and ''applies'' them to other areas. Often ''applied linguistics'' refers to the use of linguistic research in language teaching, but results of linguistic research are used in many other areas, as well. Many areas of applied linguistics today involve the explicit use of computers. [[Speech synthesis]] and [[speech recognition]] use phonetic and phonemic knowledge to provide voice interfaces to computers. Applications of [[computational linguistics]] in [[machine translation]], [[computer-assisted translation]], and [[natural language processing]] are extremely fruitful areas of applied linguistics which have come to the forefront in recent years with increasing computing power. Their influence has had a great effect on theories of syntax and semantics, as modelling syntactic and semantic theories on computers constrains the theories to computable operations and provides a more rigorous mathematical basis. == Contextual linguistics == Contextual linguistics is where the discipline of linguistics interacts with other academic disciplines. Whereas in core theoretical linguistics language is studied for its own sake, the interdisciplinary areas of linguistics consider how language interacts with the rest of the world. [[Sociolinguistics]], [[anthropological linguistics]], and [[linguistic anthropology]] are social sciences that consider the interactions between linguistics and society as a whole. [[Critical discourse analysis]] is where [[rhetoric]] and [[philosophy]] interact with linguistics. [[Psycholinguistics]] and [[neurolinguistics]] combine [[medical science]] and linguistics. Other cross-disciplinary areas of linguistics include [[language acquisition]], [[evolutionary linguistics]], [[computational linguistics]] and [[cognitive science]]. == Individual speakers, language communities, and linguistic universals == Linguists also differ in how broad a group of language users they study. Some analyze a given speaker's language (idiolect) or [[language development]] in great detail. Some study language pertaining to a whole [[speech community]], such as the [[dialect]] of those who speak [[African American Vernacular English|African American Vernacular English]] ("[[Ebonics]]"). Others try to find [[linguistic universals]] that apply, at some abstract level, to all users of [[human language]] everywhere. This latter project has been most famously advocated by [[Noam Chomsky]], and it interests many people in [[psycholinguistics]] and [[cognitive science]]. It is thought that universals in human language may reveal important insight into universals about the [[human mind]]. == Prescription and description == :''Main article: [[Prescription and description]].'' Research currently performed under the name "linguistics" is purely ''descriptive''; linguists seek to clarify the nature of language without passing value judgments or trying to chart future language directions. Nonetheless, there are many professionals and amateurs who also ''prescribe'' rules of language, holding a particular standard out for all to follow. Prescriptivists tend to be found among the ranks of language educators and journalists, and not in the actual academic discipline of linguistics. They hold clear notions of what is right and wrong, and may assign themselves the responsibility of ensuring that the next generation use the variety of language that is most likely to lead to "success," often the [[acrolect]] of a particular language. The reasons for their intolerance of "incorrect usage" may include distrust of [[neologism]]s, connections to socially-disapproved dialects (i.e., [[basilect]]s), or simple conflicts with pet theories. An extreme version of prescriptivism can be found among censors, whose personal mission is to eradicate words and structures which they consider to be destructive to society. Descriptivists, on the other hand, do not accept the prescriptivists' notion of "incorrect usage." They might describe the usages the other has in mind simply as "idiosyncratic," or they may discover a regularity (a ''rule'') that the usage in question follows (in contrast to the common prescriptive assumption that "bad" usage is unsystematic). Within the context of [[fieldwork]], [[descriptive linguistics]] refers to the study of language using a descriptivist approach. Descriptivist methodology more closely resembles scientific methodology in other disciplines. == Speech versus writing == Most contemporary linguists work under the assumption that [[spoken language]] is more fundamental, and thus more important to study than [[written language]]. Reasons for this perspective include: * Speech appears to be a human universal, whereas there have been many [[culture]]s and speech communities that lack written communication; * People learn to speak and process spoken languages more easily and much earlier than writing; * A number of [[cognitive science|cognitive scientists]] argue that the [[brain]] has an innate "[[language module]]", [[knowledge]] of which is thought to come more from studying speech than writing, particularly since language as speech is held to be an evolutionary adaptation, whereas writing is a comparatively recent invention. Of course, linguists agree that the study of written language can be worthwhile and valuable. For linguistic research that uses the methods of [[corpus linguistics]] and [[computational linguistics]], written language is often much more convenient for processing large amounts of linguistic data. Large corpora of spoken language are difficult to create and hard to find, and are typically [[transcription (linguistics)|transcribed]] and written. The study of [[writing systems]] themselves is in any case considered a branch of linguistics. == Research areas of linguistics == * [[Etymology]] * [[Historical-comparative linguistics]] * [[Integrational linguistics]] * [[Lexicography]] * [[Lexicology]] * [[Phonetics]] * [[Phonology]] * [[Pragmatics]] * [[Semantics]] * [[Syntax]] * [[Theoretical linguistics]] * [[Computational linguistics]] * [[Corpus linguistics]] * [[Descriptive linguistics]] * [[Linguistic typology]] * [[Semiotics]] == Interdisciplinary linguistic research == * [[Anthropological linguistics]] * [[Applied linguistics]] * [[Cognitive science]] * [[Historical linguistics|Comparative linguistics]] * [[Computational linguistics]] ** [[Natural language processing]] ** [[Speaker recognition]] (authentication) ** [[Speech processing]] ** [[Speech recognition]] ** [[Speech synthesis]] * [[Critical discourse analysis]] * [[Cryptanalysis]] * [[Decipherment]] * [[Ecolinguistics]] * [[Evolutionary linguistics]] * [[Forensic linguistics]] * [[Glottometrics]] * [[Historical linguistics]] * [[Language acquisition]] * [[Language engineering]] * [[Neurolinguistics]] * [[Orthography]] * [[Psycholinguistics]] * [[Second language acquisition]] * [[Sociolinguistics]] * [[Stratificational linguistics]] * [[Text linguistics]] * [[Writing system]]s == Important linguists and schools of thought == Early [[scholar]]s of linguistics include [[Jakob Grimm]], who devised the principle of consonantal shifts in pronunciation known as [[Grimm's Law]] in 1822, [[Karl Verner]], who discovered [[Verner's Law]], [[August Schleicher]] who created the "Stammbaumtheorie" and [[Johannes Schmidt (linguist)|Johannes Schmidt]] who developed the "Wellentheorie" ("wave model") in 1872. [[Ferdinand de Saussure]] was the founder of modern structural linguistics. [[Edward Sapir]], a leader in American structural linguistics, was one of the first who explored the relations between language studies and anthropology. His methodology had strong influence on all his successors. [[Noam Chomsky|Noam Chomsky's]] formal model of language, [[transformational-generative grammar]], developed under the influence of his teacher [[Zellig Harris]], who was in turn strongly influenced by [[Leonard Bloomfield]], has been the dominant one from the [[1960s]]. Other important linguists and [[school]]s include [[Michael Halliday]], whose [[systemic functional grammar]] is pursued widely in the [[United Kingdom|U.K.]], [[Canada]], [[Australia]], [[China]], and [[Japan]]; [[Dell Hymes]], who developed a pragmatic approach called The Ethnography of Speaking; [[George Lakoff]], [[Leonard Talmy]], and [[Ronald Langacker]], who were pioneers in [[cognitive linguistics]]; [[Charles J. Fillmore|Charles Fillmore]] and [[Adele Goldberg (linguist)|Adele Goldberg]], who are associated with [[construction grammar]]; and linguists developing several varieties of what they call [[Functionalism (linguistics)|functional grammar]], including [[Leonard Talmy]], [[Talmy Givon]] and [[Robert Van Valin, Jr.]]. == Representation of speech == * [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] (IPA), a system used to write down and reproduce the [[sound]]s of [[human speech]]. * [[SAMPA]], an [[ASCII]]-only transcription for the IPA used by some authors. See also [http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/home.htm the SAMPA home page]. == Narrower conceptions of "linguistics" == "Linguistics" and "[[linguist]]" may not always be meant to apply as broadly as above. In some contexts, the best [[definition]]s may be "what is studied in a typical university's department of linguistics", and "one who is a [[professor]] in such a department." Linguistics in this narrow sense usually does not refer to learning to speak foreign languages (except insofar as this helps to craft formal models of language.) It does not include [[literary analysis]]. Only sometimes does it include study of things such as [[metaphor]]. It probably does not apply to those engaged in such prescriptive efforts as found in [[William Strunk Jr.|Strunk]] and [[E. B. White|White]]'s ''[[The Elements of Style]]''; "linguists" usually seek to study what people do, not what they ''should'' do. One could probably argue for a long while about who is and who is not a "linguist". == See also == {{commonscat}} * [[History of linguistics]] * [[List of basic linguistic topics]], a page designed to organize information about linguistics on Wikipedia * [[List of linguistic topics]] * [[List of linguists]] * [[Philology]], the study of [[ancient text]]s and languages * [[Structuralism]] == References == === Textbooks === * '''Aitchison''', Jean (1995) Linguistics: An Introduction.

It concerns how different words (which, going back to [[Dionysios Thrax]], are categorized as [[noun]]s, [[adjective]]s, [[verb]]s, etc.) are combined into [[clause]]s, which, in turn, are combined into sentences. There exist innumerable theories of ''formal syntax'' &mdash; theories that have in time risen or fallen in influence. All theories of syntax at least share two commonalities: First, they hierarchically group subunits into constituent units (phrases). Second, they provide some system of rules to explain patterns of acceptability/grammaticality and unacceptability/ungrammaticality. Most formal theories of syntax offer explanations of the systematic relationships between syntactic form and [[semantic]] meaning. The earliest framework of [[semiotics]] was established by [[Charles W. Morris]] in his [[1938]] book ''Foundations of the Theory of Signs''. Syntax is defined, within the study of signs, as the first of its three subfields (the study of the interrelation of the signs). The second subfield is [[semantics]] (the study of the relation between the signs and the objects to which they apply), and the third is [[pragmatics]] (the relationship between the sign system and the user). In the framework of [[transformational-generative grammar]] (of which ''[[Government and binding|Government and Binding Theory]]'' and ''Minimalism'' are recent developments), the structure of a [[Sentence (linguistics)|sentence]] is represented by ''phrase structure trees'', otherwise known as ''phrase markers'' or ''tree diagrams''. Such trees provide information about the sentences they represent by showing how, starting from an initial category ''S'' (or, for [[ID/LP grammar]], ''Z''), the various [[syntactic categories]] (e.g. [[noun phrase]], [[verb phrase]], etc.) are formed. There are various theories as to how best to make grammars such that by systematic application of the rules, one can arrive at every phrase marker in a language (and hence every sentence in the language). The most common are [[Phrase structure grammar]]s and [[ID/LP grammar]]s, the latter having a slight explanatory advantage over the former.{{citation needed}} [[Dependency grammar]] is a class of syntactic theories separate from generative grammar in which structure is determined by the relation between a word (a head) and its dependents. One difference from phrase structure grammar is that dependency grammar does not have phrasal categories. [[Algebraic syntax]] is a type of dependency grammar. A modern approach to combining accurate descriptions of the grammatical patterns of language with their function in context is that of [[systemic functional grammar]], an approach originally developed by Michael A.K. Halliday in the 1960s and now pursued actively in all continents. Systemic-functional grammar is related both to feature-based approaches such as Head-driven phrase structure grammar and to the older functional traditions of European schools of linguistics such as British Contextualism and the Prague School. [[Tree adjoining grammar]] is a grammar formalism which has been used as the basis for a number of syntactic theories. ==''Syntax'' in computer science== Another meaning of the term '''syntax''' has been evolved in the field of [[computer science]], especially in the subfield of [[programming languages]], where the set of allowed [[reserved word]]s and their parameters and the correct ''word order'' in the [[expression]] is called the syntax of language. This application of the word can apply to natural languages, as well, as through Latin's inflectional case endings. In computer languages, syntax can be extremely rigid, as in the case of most assembler languages, or less rigid, as in languages that make use of "keyword" parameters that can be stated in any order. The syntax of expressions can be specified with parse trees. The analysis of [[programming language]] syntax usually entails the transformation of a linear sequence of ''tokens'' (a token is akin to an individual word or punctuation mark in a natural language) into a hierarchical ''syntax tree'' ([[abstract syntax tree|abstract syntax trees]] are one convenient form of syntax tree). This process, called ''[[parsing]]'', is in some respects ''analogous to'' syntactic analysis in [[linguistics]]; in fact, certain concepts, such as the [[Chomsky hierarchy]] and [[context-free grammar|context-free grammars]], are common to the study of syntax in both linguistics and computer science. ==See also== *[[Phrase]] *[[Phrase structure rules]] *[[x-bar syntax]] *[[Syntactic categories]] *[[Grammar]] *[[Algebraic syntax]] [[Category:Grammar]] [[Category:Semiotics]] [[Category:Syntax|*]] {{wikipedia}} Greek 2133 48957 2009-09-05T16:31:12Z Tropylium 756 /* Consonants */ link concentration '''Greek''' (Greek Ελληνικά, [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] {{IPA|[e̞ˌliniˈka]}} — "Hellenic") is an [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European language]] with a documented history of 3,500 years. Today, it is spoken by 15 million people in [[Greece]], [[Cyprus]], the former Yugoslavia, particularly the former Yugoslav [[Republic of Macedonia]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Albania]] and [[Turkey]]. There are also many Greek emigrant communities around the world, such as those in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]] which has the third largest urban Greek population of any city in the world, after [[Athens]] and [[Thessaloniki]]. Greek has been written in the [[Greek alphabet]], the first true [[alphabet]], since the 9th century B.C. and before that, in [[Linear B]] and the [[Cypriot syllabary|Cypriot]] syllabaries. [[Greek literature]] has a long and rich tradition. ==History== {{main|History of the Greek language}} ''This article does not cover the reconstructed history of Greek prior to the use of writing. For more information, see main article on [[Proto-Greek language]].'' Greek has been spoken in the [[Balkan]] Peninsula since the 2nd millennium BC. The earliest evidence of this is found in the [[Linear B]] tablets dating from 1500 BC. The later [[Greek alphabet]] (''q.v.'') is unrelated to Linear B, and was derived from the [[Phoenician alphabet]] ([[abjad]]); with minor modifications, it is still used today. Greek is conventionally divided into the following periods: *'''[[Mycenean language|Mycenean Greek]]''': the language of the [[Mycenean civilisation]]. It is recorded in the [[Linear B]] script on tablets dating from the 16th century BC onwards. *'''[[Ancient Greek|Classical Greek]]''' (also known as [[Ancient Greek]]): In its various dialects was the language of the [[Archaic]] and [[Classical]] periods of Greek civilisation. It was widely known throughout the Roman empire. Classical Greek fell into disuse in western Europe in the [[Middle Ages]], but remained known in the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] world, and was reintroduced to the rest of [[Europe]] with the [[Fall of Constantinople]] and Greek migration to [[Italy]]. *'''[[Hellenistic Greek]]''' (also known as [[Koine Greek]]): The fusion of various ancient Greek dialects with [[Attic Greek|Attic]] (the dialect of Athens) resulted in the creation of the first '''common''' Greek dialect, which gradually turned into one of the world's first international languages. [[Koine Greek]] can be initially traced within the armies and conquered territories of [[Alexander the Great]], but after the [[Hellenistic]] colonisation of the known world, it was spoken from [[Egypt]] to the fringes of [[India]]. After the [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] conquest of Greece, an unofficial diglossy of Greek and Latin was established in the city of [[Rome]] and Koine Greek became a first or second language in the [[Roman Empire]]. Through Koine Greek it is also traced the origin of [[Christianity]], as the Apostles used it to preach in [[Greece]] and the Greek-speaking world. It is also known as the '''Alexandrian dialect''', '''Post-Classical Greek''' or even '''New Testament Greek''' (after its most famous work of literature). *'''[[Medieval Greek]]''': The continuation of [[Hellenistic Greek]] during medieval [[Greek history]] as the official and vernacular (if not the literary nor the ecclesiastic) language of the [[Byzantine Empire]], and continued to be used until, and after the fall of that Empire in the 15th century. Also known as '''Byzantine Greek'''. *'''[[Modern Greek]]''': Stemming independently from [[Koine Greek]], '''Modern Greek''' usages can be traced in the late [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] period (as early as 11th century).[[Image:Codex alexandrinus.jpg|thumb|150px|left|A section of the [[Codex Alexandrinus]]. This section contains Luke 12:54-13:4. Two main forms of the language have been in use since the end of the medieval Greek period: [[Modern Greek|Dhimotikí]] (Δημοτική), the Demotic (vernacular) language, and [[Katharevousa|Katharévousa]] (Καθαρεύουσα), an imitation of classical Greek, which was used for literary, juridic, and scientific purposes during the [[19th century|19th]] and early [[20th century|20th]] centuries. Demotic Greek is now the official language of the modern Greek state, and the most widely spoken by Greeks today. It has been claimed that an "educated" speaker of the modern language can understand an ancient text, but this is surely as much a function of education as of the similarity of the languages. Still, Koinē {{IPA|/ciˈni/}}, the version of Greek used to write the New Testament and the Septuagint, is relatively easy to understand for modern speakers. Greek words have been widely borrowed into the European languages: ''astronomy'', ''democracy'', ''philosophy'', ''thespian'', etc. Moreover, Greek words and [[morpheme|word elements]] continue to be productive as a basis for coinages: ''anthropology'', ''photography'', ''isomer'', ''biomechanics'' etc. and form, with [[Latin]] words, the foundation of international scientific and technical vocabulary. See ''[[English words of Greek origin]]'', and ''[[List of Greek words with English derivatives]]''. ==Classification== Greek is an independent branch of the [[Indo-European]] [[language family]]. The ancient languages which were probably most closely related to it, [[Ancient Macedonian language]] (which may have been a [[dialect]] of Greek) and [[Phrygian language|Phrygian]], are not well enough documented to permit detailed comparison. Among living languages, [[Armenian language|Armenian]] seems to be the most closely related to it. ==Geographic distribution== Modern Greek is spoken by about 15 million people mainly in [[Greece]] and [[Cyprus]]. There are also Greek-speaking populations in [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Ukraine]], [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Albania]], [[Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia]] and [[Southern Italy]]. The language is spoken also in many other countries where Greeks have settled, including [[Armenia]], [[Australia]], [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Canada]], [[Denmark]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Netherlands]], [[Sweden]], [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States]]. ==Official status== Greek is the [[official language]] of [[Greece]] where it is spoken by about 99.5% of the population. It is also, alongside [[Turkish]], the official language of [[Cyprus]]. Due to the membership of Greece and Cyprus in the European Union, Greek is one of the [[languages of the European Union#official languages of the European Union|20 official languages]] of the [[European Union]]. ==Phonology== This section generally describes the post-Classic phonology of the Greek language. :''All phonetic transcriptions in this section use the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]]'' ===Vowel sounds=== Greek has 5 vowel sounds, all phonemic: {| class="wikitable" <tr> <th width="20%">&nbsp;</th> <th width="20%">[[Front vowel|Front]]</th> <th width="20%">[[Back vowel|Back]]</th> </tr> <tr> <th align="left">[[Close vowel|Close]]</th> <td>[[Close front unrounded vowel|{{IPA|i}}]]</td> <td align="right">[[Close back rounded vowel|{{IPA|u}}]]</td> </tr> <tr> <th align="left">[[mid vowel|Mid]]</th> <td align="center">[[close-mid front unrounded vowel#mid front unrounded vowel|{{IPA|e̞}}]]</td> <td align="right">[[Close-mid back rounded vowel#mid back rounded vowel|{{IPA|o̞}}]]</td> </tr> <tr> <th align="left">[[Open vowel|Open]]</th> <td align="right">[[Open front unrounded vowel|{{IPA|a}}]]</td> <td align="left">&nbsp;</td> </tr> |} Close vowels, when found in unstressed final syllables, tend to be voiceless, particularly if they are between voiceless consonants [e.g.: φάσης {{IPA|/ˈfasis/}} → {{IPA|/ˈfasi̥s/}} (→ {{IPA|/fasː/}}) = "of phase" ([[genitive case]])]. ===Consonants=== Greek has a repertoire of 29 consonant sounds. The number of phonemes depends on the analysis, but may be as few as 15, assuming for example that the sound [b] is represented in the underlying form as /mp/, which is also its standard orthographic representation.

They tend to be voiced to /b/, /d/ and /g/ in Cretan and Cypriot dialects. The letter <ρ> is generally pronounced /r/, but tends to be pronounced {{IPA|/ɾ/}} in intervocalic position. Standard Modern Greek does not have double consonants within words, although some dialects (notably Cypriot) do. ===Sandhi rules=== Greek has certain [[sandhi]] rules, some represented in the orthography, some not. /n/ before bilabials and [[Velar consonant|velars]] becomes /m/ and /{{IPA|[[Velar nasal|ŋ]]}}/ respectively, and is written <μ> (συμπάθεια, "sympathy") and <γ> (συγκρητισμός, "syncretism"). Before the labiodental fricatives <φ> and <β>, it is also written <μ>, but pronounced /{{IPA|[[Labiodental nasal|ɱ]]}}/ (συμφωνία, "symphony"). The combination <μπ> is pronounced /mb/ after vowels (but often reduced to /b/), else /b/. In some words, especially in Northern dialects, could also be pronounced /mp/. The combinations <γγ> and <γκ> are pronounced /ŋg/ or /{{IPA|ŋɟ}}/ after vowels, else /g/ or /{{IPA|[[Voiced palatal plosive|ɟ]]}}/. An exception to this rule is the word <συγγνώμη> (freely translated "I'm sorry") in which /n/ is phonetically dropped and the word is pronounced /{{IPA|siˈŋgnomi}}/ (this is actually an older form of the word, the current orthography is <συγνώμη>, pronounced /{{IPA|siˈγnomi}}/, in which /n/ is dropped both phonetically and literally). The combination <ντ> is pronounced /nd/ after vowels (but often reduced to /d/), else /d/. In some words, especially in Northern dialects, could also be pronounced /nt/. The sounds /k/ and /g/, before the front vowels /{{IPA|[[Close-mid front unrounded vowel#mid front unrounded vowel|e̞]]}}/ and /i/, are palatalized, becoming /{{IPA|[[Voiceless palatal plosive|c]]}}/ and /{{IPA|[[Voiced palatal plosive|ɟ]]}}/. In some dialects, notably in Crete, they become [{{IPA|[[Voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate|ʨ]]}}] and [{{IPA|[[Voiced alveolo-palatal affricate|ʥ]]}}]. The word {{polytonic|ἐστὶ}} (estí, IPA /{{IPA|e̞sˈti}}/), which means "is" in Ancient Greek (q.v. Modern Greek είναι), gains a "''euphonic''" n. in Modern Greek, the negative adverb δεν and the accusative articles τον and την lose the final /n/, depending on the beginning letter of the next word (if it's a consonant, /n/ is usually dropped). In the phrase δεν πειράζει, which means "it doesn't matter", instead of being dropped, n is assimilated into the second word and, following the example above, np is pronounced /mp/ in Northern Greece and /mb/ in Southern Greece, thus producing the sound /ðempirázi/ or /ðembirázi/. Some of these rules are optional, and reflect the formality of speech. While everyday spoken Greek sounds artificial if the sandhi rules are ''not'' used, a formal or official speech may sound equally awkward if sandhi rules ''are'' used. ===Orthography=== The Greek vowel letters with their pronunciation are: <α> {{IPA|/a/}}, <ε> {{IPA|/e̞/}}, <η> {{IPA|/i/}}, <ι> {{IPA|/i/}}, <ο> {{IPA|/o̞/}}, <υ> {{IPA|/i/}}, <ω> {{IPA|/o̞/}}. There are also vowel digraphs, called "double-digit vowels" which are phonetically monophthongal: <αι> {{IPA|/e̞/}}, <ει> {{IPA|/i/}}, <οι> {{IPA|/i/}}, <ου> {{IPA|/u/}}, <υι> {{IPA|/i/}}. The three digraphs <αυ>, <ευ> and <ηυ> are pronounced {{IPA|/av/}}, {{IPA|/e̞v/}} and {{IPA|/iv/}} except when followed by unvoiced consonants, in which case they are pronounced {{IPA|/af/}}, {{IPA|/e̞f/}} and {{IPA|/if/}}. Modern Greek has also four diphthongs: <αη> (or <άη>) {{IPA|/aj/}}, <αϊ> (or <άι>) {{IPA|/aj/}}, <οη> (or <όη>) {{IPA|/o̞j/}} and <οϊ> (or <όι>) {{IPA|/o̞j/}} (diphthongs can better be transcribed using the IPA non-syllabic diacritic under {{IPA|/i/}} instead of the approximant {{IPA|/j/}}). The Greek letters <β> and <δ> are pronounced {{IPA|/v/}} and {{IPA|/ð/}} respectively. The letter <γ> is generally pronounced {{IPA|/ɣ/}}, but before the mid or close front vowels, it is pronounced {{IPA|/ʝ/}}. The letters <θ>, <φ> and <χ> are pronounced {{IPA|/θ/}}, {{IPA|/f/}} and {{IPA|/x/}}. The letter <χ>, before mid or close front vowels, is pronounced {{IPA|/ç/}}. The letter <ξ> stands for {{IPA|/k͡s/}} and <ψ> stands for {{IPA|/p͡s/}} (the tie bar is used to indicate that, in Modern Greek, <ξ> and <ψ> should be considered sibilant affricates). The digraphs <γγ> and <γκ> are generally pronounced {{IPA|/g/}}, but are pronounced {{IPA|/ɟ/}} before mid or close front vowels. When these digraphs are preceded by a vowel, they are pronounced {{IPA|/ŋg/}} ({{IPA|/ŋɟ/}} before mid or close front vowels). The digraph <γγ> may be pronounced {{IPA|/ŋɣ/}} in some words ({{IPA|/ŋʝ/}}) before mid or close front vowels). It is better to use a tie bar above {{IPA|/ŋg/}}, {{IPA|/ŋɟ/}}, {{IPA|/ŋɣ/}} and {{IPA|/ŋʝ/}}, when used for Greek words, to indicate the simultaneous articulation. ===Historical sound changes=== See: [[History of the Greek language]], [[Ancient Greek pronunciation]] ==Grammar== Modern Greek is still largely a [[synthetic language]]. It is one of the few Indo-European languages that has retained a synthetic [[passive voice|passive]]. Noticeable changes in its grammar (compared to Classical Greek) include the loss of the [[dative]], the [[optative mood]], the [[infinitive]] the [[dual number]], and the [[participle]]s (except the past participle); the adoption of the [[gerund]]; the reduction in the number of noun [[declension]]s, and the number of distinct forms in each declension; the adoption of the [[modal particle]] ''θα'' (a corruption of ''{{Polytonic|ἐθέλω ἵνα}}'' > ''θέλω να'' > ''θε' να'' > ''θα'') to denote future and conditional tenses; the introduction of [[auxiliary verb]] forms for certain tenses; the extension to the future tense of the aspectual distinction between present/imperfect and aorist; the loss of the third person imperative, and the simplification of the system of grammatical prefixes, such as [[augment (linguistics)|augmentation]] and [[reduplication]]. Some of these features are shared with other languages spoken in the Balkan peninsula (see [[Balkan linguistic union]]). [[Archaism|Archaic]] forms are still used in formal writing and in a few expressions like εντάξει (entáxei /{{IPA|ɛnˈdaˌksi}}/), which means "OK" (literally: "in order") or ''ζήτω!'' ('long live!'); ==Writing system== {{Table_Greekletters}} {{sectstub}} Modern Greek is written in the late [[Ionic]] variant of the [[Greek alphabet]], the oldest discovered inscriptions of which date to the 8th or 9th Century BC, assumed its final form in 403 BC, and displaced other regional variants due to its use for the [[Attic]] ''[[Koine]]'' dialect during the [[Hellenistic]] era. The Greek alphabet consists of 24 letters, each with a capital and lowercase (small) form: [[Alpha (letter)|Α α]], [[Beta (letter)|Β β]], [[Gamma|Γ γ]], [[Delta (letter)|Δ δ]], [[Epsilon|Ε ε]], [[Zeta (letter)|Ζ ζ]], [[Eta (letter)|Η η]], [[Theta|Θ θ]], [[Iota|Ι ι]], [[Kappa (letter)|Κ κ]], [[Lambda|Λ λ]], [[Mu (letter)|Μ μ]], [[Nu (letter)|Ν ν]], [[Xi|Ξ ξ]], [[Omicron|Ο ο]], [[Pi (letter)|Π π]], [[Rho (letter)|Ρ ρ]], [[Sigma (letter)|Σ σ ς (word-final form)]], [[Tau|Τ τ]], [[Upsilon|Υ υ]], [[Phi (letter)|Φ φ]], [[Chi (letter)|Χ χ]], [[Psi (letter)|Ψ ψ]], [[Omega|Ω ω]]. In addition to the letters of the alphabet, Greek has a number of diacritical signs, most of which were eliminated from official use in Greece in 1982 as no longer corresponding to the modern pronunciation of the language. See [[Monotonic orthography]] for the simplified modern set, and [[Polytonic orthography]] for the traditional set. ==Examples== ===Some common words and phrases=== *Greek (man): Έλληνας, IPA /{{IPA|ˈe̞liˌnas}}/ *Greek (woman): Ελληνίδα /{{IPA|ˌe̞liˈniða}}/ *Greek (language): Ελληνικά /{{IPA|e̞ˌliniˈka}}/ *hello: γεια /{{IPA|ʝa}}/ (informal, literally "health"), you say this only to people that you know well.

It is opposed to [[descriptive linguistics|descriptive (synchronic) linguistics]], which studies the state of a language at a certain point. The main tools of historical linguistics are the analysis of historical records, and the comparison of internal features — [[vocabulary]], [[morphology (linguistics)|word formation]], and [[syntax]] — of current and extinct languages. The goal is to trace the development and genetic affiliations of the world languages, and understand the process of language evolution. A classification of all languages into [[language family|family tree]]s is both a major result and a necessary tool of this effort. Modern historical linguistics grew out of the earlier discipline of [[philology]], the study of ancient texts and documents. In its early years, historical linguistics focused on the well-known [[Indo-European languages]]; but since then, significant comparative linguistic work has been done on the [[Uralic languages]], [[Austronesian languages]] and various families of [[Native American languages]], among many others. == Language evolution and the comparative method== Languages change over time. What were once dialects of the same language may eventually diverge enough that they are no longer mutually intelligible and can be considered separate languages. One method to illustrate the relationship between such divergent yet related languages is to construct family trees, an idea pioneered by the 19th century historical linguist [[August Schleicher]]. The basis for the trees is the [[comparative method]]: languages presumed to be related are compared with one another, and linguists look for regular sound correspondences based on what is generally known about how languages can change, and use them to reconstruct the best hypothesis about the nature of the common ancestor language from which the attested languages are descended. Use of the comparative method is validated by its application to languages whose common ancestor is known. Thus, when the method is applied to the [[Romance languages]] (which include [[French]], [[Spanish]], [[Portuguese]], [[Italian]], and [[Romanian]]), the reconstructed common ancestor language comes out rather similar to [[Latin]] — not the classical Latin of Horace and Cicero, but [[Vulgar Latin]], the colloquial Latin spoken in various dialects in the late [[Roman Empire]]. The comparative method can be used to reconstruct languages for which no written records exist, either because none have been preserved or because the speakers were illiterate. Thus, the [[Germanic languages]] (which include [[High German]], [[Dutch]], [[English]], [[Norwegian]], [[Swedish]], [[Danish]], [[Faroese]], [[Icelandic]], [[Yiddish]], and the extinct [[Gothic]]) can be compared to reconstruct Proto-Germanic, a language that was probably contemporaneous with Latin and for which no records are preserved. Germanic and Latin (more precisely, [[Italic languages|Proto-Italic]], the ancestor of Latin and a few of its neighbors) are themselves related, being both descended from [[Proto-Indo-European]], spoken perhaps 5000 years ago. Scholars have reconstructed a Proto-Indo-European languae on the basis of data from its nine surviving daughter branches, which are: Germanic, Italic, [[Celtic languages|Celtic]], [[Greek]], [[Baltic languages|Baltic]], [[Slavic languages|Slavic]], [[Albanian]], [[Armenian]], [[Indo-Iranian languages|Indo-Iranian]], and from the two dead branches [[Tocharian]] and [[Anatolian languages|Anatolian]]. The comparative method aims to distinguish so-called ''genetic'' linguistic descent — that is, the passing of a language from parents to children, down through the generations — from resemblances that are due to cultural contact between contemporary languages. For example, about 30% of the vocabulary of [[Persian]] is taken from [[Arabic]], as a result of the Arab conquest of Iran in the 8th century and much subsequent cultural contact. Yet Persian is considered to be a member of the Indo-European language family — because of its ''core'' vocabulary, which generally has Indo-European [[cognate]]s (as in ''mâdar'' = "mother"), and of many characteristically Indo-European features of its grammar (as in ''bûd'' = "was", formed from a root related to English "be" and a suffix related to the English past tense ending "-ed".) Once the various changes in the daughter branches have been worked out, and a fair amount of the core vocabulary and grammar of the protolanguage are understood, then scholars will quite generally agree that a relationship of genetic relatedness has been proven. == Non-comparative method theories == Much more controversial are hypotheses about relatedness which are ''not'' supported by application of the comparative method. Scholars who attempt to probe deeper than the comparative method supports (for example, by tabulating similarities found by [[mass lexical comparison]] without setting up sound correspondences) are often accused of scholarly wishful thinking. The problem is that any two languages have a huge number of opportunities to resemble one another just by accident, so merely pointing out isolated resemblances has little evidentiary value. A famous example is the Persian word for "bad", which is pronounced (more or less) just like English "bad". It can be shown that the resemblance between these two words is completely accidental, and has nothing to do with the (rather remote) genetic connection between English and Persian. For further examples, see [[False cognate]]. The idea is that this linguistic "noise" may be reduced by comparing large amounts of words, which is exactly the point of mass lexical comparison. However, by ignoring known historical changes in the languages, mass lexical comparison incorporates known randomness, and therefore its conclusions are inherently inaccurate to an extent that is impossible to assess. Since supporting distant genetic relationships is so difficult, and the method for finding and proving such relationships is not well established (in the way that the comparative method is), the field of locating remote relationships is riven with scholarly controversy. Nevertheless, the temptation to pursue remote relationships remains a powerful lure to many scholars-- after all, Proto-Indo-European must have seemed a rather wild hypothesis to many when it was first proposed. This uncertainty also relates to estimates of how long it would take for languages to diverge completely. One commonly cited opinion is that if a group of people were sent to a distant galaxy, after 10,000 years they would be speaking a language that would be no more similar to their native language than any other language selected at random. This figure is based on [[glottochronology]], using a simplified assumption of a constant 14% loss rate each millennium and a chance similarity rate of 5%. However, other work by [[Isidore Dyen]][http://www.ntu.edu.au/education/langs/ielex/IE-RATE1] and [[Sergei Starostin]] indicates that in fact words have wildly differing expected life spans; thus, for instance, a specialized word like "goshawk" might on average last a mere millennium or two, whereas extremely common words like "I" and "you" often last so long that it is not possible to even estimate their life span without reconstructions going further back in time than those that are universally accepted. The ultimate in remote reconstruction is the recovery of a [[Proto-World language]]. Not all scholars believe that such a language even necessarily existed, since some models of human evolution may allow the independent appearance of human speech in several parts of the world, resulting in several linguistic families with no common ancestral language. Nevertheless, [[Joseph Greenberg]] suggested that Proto-World was the language of people coming out of northeast Africa around 50,000 BC. On the other hand, according to current archaeological evidence, the native languages of South America must have been isolated from those of the Old World for 10,000 years or more; and those of Australia may have split off from the putative world language tree even earlier than that. Therefore, if one accepts the estimate that no relationships would be recognizable after 10,000 years, then we stand little chance of demonstrating a common origin for all the world languages — unless, against current expectations, they all had a common ancestor within that time span. [[Dene-Caucasian languages|Den&eacute;-Caucasian]] has also been postulated to include [[Na-Dené languages|Na-Dené]] (North America), [[Sino-Tibetan languages|Sino-Tibetan]], Ket (Siberia), [[Burushaski]] (Pakistan), [[North-East Caucasian languages|North-East Caucasian]] (Chechen and the Dagestan languages), and [[Basque]]. This language family is extremely hypothetical. The [[Nostratic]] hypothesis was proposed by a Dane named [[Holger Pedersen]], in [[1903]]. The hypothesis claims that the Nostratic grouping includes such widely ranging language families as Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic, Uralic, Altaic, Sumerian, Elamo-Dravidian, and Kartvelian. Others claim other sets of languages. Some have speculated that the Nostratics were refugees from a [[Black Sea Flood]] of around 5600 BC, and some think this is the origin of Noah's Flood from the [[Bible]]. However, linguists have reached no firm conclusion about the validity of the Nostratic hypothesis. Its proponents, unlike Greenberg, use the traditional [[comparative method]]; however, their comparisons are often accused of being far-fetched or involving too many semantic shifts, while some also accuse them of simply grouping together the language families most familiar to them and neglecting to compare each of them to language families further afield. ==See also== *[[Language change]] *[[Glottochronology]] **[[Swadesh list]] *[[Proto-language]] *[[Comparative method]] *Comparative word lists: [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Swadesh list]], [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Basic English Word List]] ==Bibliography== * [[August Schleicher]]: ''Compendium der vergleichenden Grammatik der indogermanischen Sprachen.''

It is intended as a notational standard for the [[Phoneme|phonemic]] and [[Phonetics|phonetic]] representation of all spoken languages. For a treatment of the [[English language]] using the IPA, see [[International Phonetic Alphabet for English]]; for a brief chart, see [[IPA chart for English]]. [[Image:IPA chart 2005.png|thumb|400px|The International Phonetic Alphabet.]] ==History== {{main |History of the International Phonetic Alphabet}} ==Description== The general principle of the IPA is to provide a separate symbol for each [[speech segment]], avoiding letter combinations ([[digraph (orthography)|digraph]]s) such as ''[[sh (digraph)|sh]]'' and ''[[th (digraph)|th]]'' in [[English orthography]], and avoiding ambiguity such as that of [[Pronunciation of English c|''c'' in English]]. ===The principle of formation=== The IPA is what MacMahon (1996) has termed a "selective" phonetic alphabet. It aims to provide a separate symbol for every ''contrastive'' (that is, ''[[phonemic]]'') sound occurring in human language. For instance, a [[flap consonant|flap]] and a tap are two different articulations, but since no language has (yet) been found to make a phonemic distinction between them, the IPA does not provide them with dedicated symbols. Instead, it provides a single symbol,&nbsp;{{IPA|ɾ}}, that covers both. For ''non-contrastive'' (that is, ''[[phonetic]]'' or ''subphonemic'') details of these sounds, the IPA relies on [[diacritic]]s, which are optional. Thus there is a certain level of flexibility in representing a language with the IPA. ===Principles behind the symbols=== The letters chosen for the IPA are generally drawn from the [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] and [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] alphabets, or are modifications of Latin or Greek letters. There are also a few letters derived from Latin punctuation, such as the glottal stop {{IPA|ʔ}} (originally an [[apostrophe (mark)|apostrophe]], but later given the form of a "gelded" [[question mark]] to have the visual impact of the other consonants), and one, {{IPA|ʕ}}, although Latin in form, was inspired by [[Arabic alphabet|Arabic]] letter <ﻉ> ''`ain''. On the other hand, the original Latin-derived symbols for the [[click consonant|click]]s have been abandoned in favor of iconic [[Khoisan languages|Khoisanist]] symbols such as {{IPA|ǁ}}. The sound-values of the [[consonant]]s taken from the [[Latin alphabet]] correspond to usage in French and Italian, and are close to those of most other European languages as well: {{IPA|[b]}}, {{IPA|[d]}}, {{IPA|[f]}}, {{IPA|[ɡ]}}, {{IPA|[k]}}, {{IPA|[l]}}, {{IPA|[m]}}, {{IPA|[n]}}, {{IPA|[p]}}, (unvoiced) {{IPA|[s]}}, {{IPA|[t]}}, {{IPA|[v]}}, {{IPA|[z]}}. English values are used for {{IPA|[h]}} and {{IPA|[w]}}. The [[vowel]]s from the Latin alphabet ({{IPA|[a]}}, {{IPA|[e]}}, {{IPA|[i]}}, {{IPA|[o]}}, {{IPA|[u]}}) correspond to the vowels of [[Spanish]] and are similar to [[Italian language|Italian]]. {{IPA|[i]}} is like the vowel in ''piece'', {{IPA|[u]}} like ''rule'', etc. The other symbols from the Latin alphabet, {{IPA|[c]}}, {{IPA|[j]}}, {{IPA|[q]}}, {{IPA|[r]}}, {{IPA|[x]}}, and {{IPA|[y]}}, correspond to sounds these letters represent in various other languages. {{IPA|[j]}} has the Slavic and Germanic value of <j>, that of English ''y'' in ''yoke''; {{IPA|[y]}} has the [[Scandinavian languages|Scandinavian]] and [[Old English]] value: [[Finnish]] ''y'', [[German]] ''y'' or ''ü'', [[French]] ''u'', [[Dutch]] ''u''. Letters that share a particular modification sometimes correspond to a similar type of sound. For example, all the [[retroflex consonant]]s have the same symbol as the equivalent [[alveolar consonant]], with the addition of a rightward facing hook at the bottom. Although there is some correspondence between modified letters, generally the IPA symbols do not have a systematic [[distinctive feature|featural]] relationship between shape and articulation. For instance, there is not a consistent relationship between lowercase letters and their small capital counterparts, nor are all [[labial consonant]]s linked through a common design. [[Diacritic mark]]s can be combined with IPA letters to transcribe modified [[phonetic]] values or [[secondary articulation]]s. There are also special symbols for [[suprasegmental feature]]s such as [[stress]] and [[tone]]. ===Types of transcriptions=== The [[International Phonetic Association]] recommends that a [[phonetics|phonetic]] transcription should be enclosed in [[bracket|square brackets]] "[&nbsp;]". A transcription that specifically denotes only [[phonology|phonological]] contrasts may be enclosed in [[slash (punctuation)|slash]]es "/&nbsp;/" instead. If one is in doubt, it is best to use brackets, for by setting off a transcription with slashes one makes a theoretical claim that every symbol within is [[phoneme|phonemic]]ally contrastive for the language being transcribed. Phonetic transcriptions try to objectively capture the actual pronunciation of a word, whereas phonemic transcriptions are model dependent. For example, [[Noam Chomsky]] transcribed the English word ''night'' phonemically as /nixt/. In his model, the phoneme /x/ is often silent, but shows its presence by “lengthening” the preceding vowel. The preceding vowel in this case is the phoneme /i/, which is pronounced [aj] when long. So phonemic /nixt/ is equivalent to phonetic [najt], but only if you share Chomsky's belief that historical sounds such as the ''gh'' in ''night'' may remain in a word long after they have ceased to be pronounced. For phonetic transcriptions, there is flexibility in how closely sounds may be transcribed. A transcription that gives only a basic idea of the sounds of a language in the broadest terms is called a "broad transcription"; in some cases this may be equivalent to a phonemic transcription (only without any theoretical claims). A close transcription, indicating precise details of the sounds, is called a "narrow transcription". These are not binary choices, but the ends of a continuum, with many possibilities in between. All are enclosed in brackets. For example, in some dialects the English word ''pretzel'' in a narrow transcription would be {{IPA|[ˈpʰɹ̥ʷɛʔt.sɫ̩]}}, which notes several phonetic features that may not be evident even to a native speaker. An example of a broader transcription is {{IPA|[ˈpʰɹɛt.sɫ̩]}}, which only indicates some of the easier to hear features. A yet broader transcription would be {{IPA|[ˈpɹɛtsl]}}. Here every symbol represents an unambiguous speech sound, but without making any claims as to their status in the language. There are also several possibilities in how to transcribe this word phonemically, but here the differences are generally not of precision, but of analysis. For example, ''pretzel'' could be {{IPA|/ˈprɛtsl/}} or {{IPA|/ˈpretsəl/}}. The special symbol for English ''r'' is not used, for it is not meaningful to distinguish it from a rolled ''r''. The differences in the letter ''e'' reflect claims as to what the essential difference is between the vowels of ''pretzel'' and ''pray''; there are half a dozen ideas in the literature as to what this may be. The second transcription claims that there are two vowels in the word, even if they can't both be heard, while the first claims there is only one. However, phonemic transcriptions may also be broad or narrow, or perhaps it would be better to say abstract vs. concrete. They may show a fair amount of phonetic detail, usually of a phoneme's most common allophone, but because they are abstract symbols they do not need to directly resemble any sound at all. Phonemic symbols will frequently be chosen to avoid diacritics as much as possible, under a 'one sound one symbol' policy, or may even be restricted to the [[ASCII]] symbols of a typical keyboard. For example, the English word ''church'' may be transcribed as {{IPA|/tʃɚtʃ/}}, a close approximation of its actual pronunciation, or more abstractly as {{IPA|/crc/}} (three phonemes, three symbols), which is easier to type. Phonemic symbols should always be explained, especially when they are as divergent from actual pronunciation as {{IPA|/crc/}}. Occasionally a transcription will be enclosed in [[pipe]]s ("| |"). This goes beyond phonology into [[morphology (linguistics)|morphological]] analysis. For example, the words ''pets'' and ''beds'' could be transcribed phonetically as {{IPA|[pʰɛʔts]}} and {{IPA|[b̥ɛdz]}} (in a fairly narrow transcription), and phonemically as {{IPA|/pets/}} and {{IPA|/bedz/}}. Because /s/ and /z/ are separate [[phoneme]]s in English (unlike Spanish, for example), they receive separate symbols in the phonemic analysis. However, you probably recognize that underneath this, they represent the same plural ending. This can be indicated with the pipe notation. If you believe the plural ending is essentially an ''s'', as English spelling would suggest, the words can be transcribed {{IPA|<nowiki>|pets|</nowiki>}} and {{IPA|<nowiki>|beds|</nowiki>}}. If, as most linguists would probably suggest, it is essentially a ''z'', these would be {{IPA|<nowiki>|petz|</nowiki>}} and {{IPA|<nowiki>|bedz|</nowiki>}}. To avoid confusion with IPA symbols, it may be desirable to specify when native orthography is being used, so that, for example, the English word ''jet'' is not read as "yet". This is done with [[Bracket|angle brackets]] or ''chevrons'': {{Unicode|〈jet〉}}. It is also common to italicize such words, but the chevrons indicate specifically that they are in the original language's orthography, and not in English [[transliteration]]. The Extended IPA for [[speech pathology]] has added additional bracket notations. Parentheses are used to indicate ''mouthing'' (silent articulation), as in {{IPA|(ʃːː)}}, a silent sign to hush; parentheses are also used to indicate silent pauses, for example (...). Double parentheses indicate obscured or unintelligible sound, as in ((2 syll.)), two audible but unidentifiable syllables. Curly brackets with Italian musical terms are used to mark prosodic notation, such as {{IPA|[{<sub><small>''falsetto''</small></sub> hɛlp <sub><small>''falsetto''</small></sub>}]}}. == Consonants (pulmonic) == ===Single articulation=== [[Media:IPA consonants 2005.png|Closeup of the main pulmonic consonant section of the IPA chart]] The [[pulmonic egressive|pulmonic]] consonant table, which includes most consonants, is arranged in rows that designate [[manner of articulation]] and columns that designate [[place of articulation]].

In Unicode version 4.1, only hacek (rising) and circumflex (falling) diacritics were encoded. Subsequent versions may also include six additional diacritics for contour tones, such as the macron-acute and the grave-acute-grave ligatures. (See an image [[media:IPA suprasegmentals 2005.png|here]].) Note that contour tone diacritics are not encoded as sequences of level tone diacritics in Unicode. *With regard to tone letters, Unicode does not have separate encodings for contour tones. Instead, sequences of level tone letters are used, with proper display dependent on the font, usually by means of OpenType font rendition: {{IPA|[˥˩]}} or {{IPA|[˦˥˧]}}. (These are probably not displaying correctly in your browser. See the [[media:IPA suprasegmentals 2005.png|image]] for a sample of how they should appear.) Since few fonts support combination tone letters (see the external links for one that is free), a common solution is to use the old system of superscript numerals from '1' to '5', for example [e<sup>53</sup>, e<sup>312</sup>]. However, this depends on local linguistic tradition, with '5' generally being high and '1' being low for Asian languages, but '1' being high and '5' low for African languages. An old IPA convention sometimes still seen is to use sub-diacritics for low contour tones: {{IPA|[e̖, e̗]}} for ''low-falling'' and ''low-rising''. *The upstep and downstep modifiers are superscript arrows. Unicode version 4.1 does not encode these, though subsequent versions will. The arrows for upstep and downstep should not be confused with the full-height arrows, which are used to indicate airflow direction. == Diacritics == [[media:IPA diacritics 2005.png|Closeup of the diacritic section of the IPA chart]]<br> Sub-diacritics may be placed above a symbol with a descender, i.e. {{IPA|ŋ̊}}.

Many linguists prefer one of the diacritics dedicated to breathy voice. The state of the [[glottis]] can be finely transcribed with diacritics. A series of alveolar plosives ranging from an open to a closed glottis [[phonation]] are: {| |- | style="text-align:center; font-size:larger; width:2em;" | {{IPA|[t]}} | [[Voiceless consonant|voiceless]] |- | style="text-align:center; font-size:larger;" | {{IPA|[d̤]}} | [[breathy voice]], also called ''murmured'' |- | style="text-align:center; font-size:larger;" | {{IPA|[d̥]}} | [[slack voice]] |- | style="text-align:center; font-size:larger;" | {{IPA|[d]}} | [[Voiced consonant|modal voice]] |- | style="text-align:center; font-size:larger;" | {{IPA|[d̬]}} | [[stiff voice]] |- | style="text-align:center; font-size:larger;" | {{IPA|[d̰]}} | [[creaky voice]] |- | style="text-align:center; font-size:larger;" | {{IPA|[ʔ͡t]}} | glottal closure |} ===Extended IPA diacritics=== [[Media:ExtIPA.png|The letters and diacritics of the ExtIPA]] The ExtIPA has widened the use of some of the regular IPA symbols, such as {{IPA|ʰp}} for pre-aspiration, {{IPA|tʶ}} for uvularization, or {{IPA|s̼}} for a linguolabial sibilant, as well as adding some new ones. Some of the ExtIPA diacritics are occasionally used for non-disordered speech, for example for the unusual airstream mechanisms of [[Damin]]. One modification is the use of subscript parentheses around the [[phonation]] diacritics to indicate partial phonation; a single parenthesis at the left or right of the voicing indicates that it is partially phonated at the beginning or end of the segment. For example, {{IPA|₍s̬₎}} is a partially voiced [s], {{IPA|₍s̬}} shows partial initial voicing, and {{IPA|s̬₎}} partial final voicing; also {{IPA|₍z̥₎}} is a partially devoiced [z], {{IPA|₍z̥}} shows partial initial devoicing, and {{IPA|z̥₎}} partial final devoicing. These conventions may be convenient for representing various [[voice onset time]]s. Phonation diacritics may also be prefixed or suffixed rather than placed directly under the segment to represent relative timing. For instance, {{IPA|&nbsp;̬z}} is a [[Pre-voicing (phonetics)|pre-voiced]] [z], {{IPA|z&nbsp;̬}} a post-voiced [z], and {{IPA|a&nbsp;̰}} is an [a] with a [[creaky voice|creaky]] offglide.

These are subscripted on the insides of a {brace} notation that indicates that they are comments on the [[prosody (linguistics)|prosody]].

The other symbols are now considered obsolete. An example is {{IPA|ɷ}} for standard {{IPA|ʊ}}. Several symbols indicating secondary articulation have been dropped altogether, with the idea that such things should be indicated with diacritics: {{IPA|ƍ}} for {{IPA|zʷ}} is one. In addition, the rare voiceless implosive series {{IPA|ƥ ƭ ƈ ƙ ʠ}} has been dropped. There are also unsupported symbols from local traditions that find their way into publications that otherwise use the standard IPA. This is especially common with affricates such as {{IPA|ƛ}}. While the IPA does not itself have a set of capital letters (the ones that look like capitals are actually small capitals), many languages have adopted symbols from the IPA as part of their orthographies, and in such cases they have invented capital variants of these. This is especially common in Africa. An example is [[Kabye language|Kabye]] of northern [[Togo]], which has {{unicode|Ɔ Ɛ Ŋ Ɣ Ʃ}} (capital {{IPA|ʃ}}). Other pseudo-IPA capitals supported by unicode are {{unicode|Ɓ/Ƃ Ƈ Ɗ/Ƌ Ə/Ǝ Ɠ Ħ Ɯ Ɲ Ɵ Ʈ Ʊ Ʋ Ʒ}}. {| class="wikitable" |- | width=20 style="text-align:center; font-size:larger;" | {{IPA|ɩ}} || Iota, rejected 1989 in favor of {{IPA|[ɪ]}} |- | width=20 style="text-align:center;

Some ''ad hoc'' symbols have appeared in the literature, for example for the lateral flaps and voiceless lateral fricatives, the epiglottal trill, and the labiodental plosives. Diacritics can supply much of the remainder, which would indeed be appropriate if the sounds were allophones. For example, the Spanish bilabial approximant is commonly written as a lowered fricative, {{IPA|[β̞]}}. Similarly, voiced lateral fricatives would be written as raised lateral approximants, {{IPA|[ɭ˔ ʎ̝ ʟ̝]}}. A few languages such as [[Banda language|Banda]] have a bilabial flap as the preferred allophone of what is elsewhere a labiodental flap. It has been suggested that this be written with the labiodental flap symbol and the advanced diacritic, {{IPA|[v̛̟]}}. Similarly, a labiodental trill would be written {{IPA|[ʙ̪]}} (bilabial trill and the dental sign). Palatal and uvular taps, if they exist, and the epiglottal tap could be written as extra-short plosives, {{IPA|[ɟ˘ ɢ˘ ʡ˘]}}. A retroflex trill can be written as a retracted {{IPA|[r̠]}}, just as retroflex fricatives sometimes are. The remaining consonants, the uvular laterals and the palatal trill, while not strictly impossible, are very difficult to pronounce and are unlikely to occur even as allophones in the world's languages. The vowels are similarly manageable by using diacritics for raising, lowering, fronting, backing, centering, and mid-centering. For example, the unrounded equivalent of {{IPA|[ʊ]}} can be transcribed as mid-centered {{IPA|[ɯ̽]}}, and the rounded equivalent of [æ] as raised {{IPA|[ɶ̝]}}. True mid vowels are lowered {{IPA|[e̞ ø̞ ɘ̞ ɵ̞ ɤ̞ o̞]}}, while centered {{IPA|[ɪ̈ ʊ̈] and [ä]}} are near-close and open central vowels, respectively. The vowels that aren't representable in this scheme are the [[rounded vowel|compressed]] vowels, which would require a dedicated diacritic. ==Names of the symbols== It is often desirable to distinguish an IPA symbol from the sound it is intended to represent, since there is not a one-to-one correspondance between symbol and sound in broad transcription. The symbol's names and phonetic descriptions are described in the ''Handbook of the International Phonetic Association''. The symbols also have nonce names in the [[Unicode]] standard. In some cases, the Unicode names and the IPA names do not agree. For example, IPA calls {{IPA|ɛ}} "epsilon", but Unicode calls it "small letter open E". ===The letters=== The traditional names of the Latin and Greek letters are used for unmodified symbols. In Unicode, some of the symbols of Greek origin have Latin forms for use in IPA; the others use the symbols from the Greek section. Examples: {| class="wikitable" ! style="width:2em;" | !! IPA symbol name !! phonetic description !! Unicode name |- | style="text-align:center;" | p || (lower-case) P || [[voiceless bilabial stop]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER P |- | style="text-align:center;" | x || (lower-case) X || [[voiceless velar fricative]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER X |- | style="text-align:center;" | r || (lower-case) R || [[alveolar trill|coronal trill]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER R |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|β}} || [[beta]] || [[voiced bilabial fricative]] || GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɛ}} || [[epsilon]] || [[open-mid front unrounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN E |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɣ}} || [[gamma]] || [[voiced velar fricative]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER GAMMA |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|θ}} || [[theta]] || [[voiceless dental fricative]] || GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|χ}} || [[Chi (letter)|chi]] || [[voiceless uvular fricative]] || GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɸ}} || [[phi]] || [[voiceless bilabial fricative]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER PHI |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ʊ}} || upsilon {{footnote|1}} || [[near-close near-back rounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER UPSILON |- |} '''Note''' #The Latin "[[upsilon]]" is frequently called "[[horseshoe|horseshoe u]]" in order to distinguish it from the Greek upsilon. Historically, it derives from a Latin small capital <tt>U</tt>. The IPA standard includes some small capital letters, such as {{IPA|ʀ}}, although it is common to refer to these symbols as simply "capital" or "cap" letters, because the IPA standard does not include any full-size capital letters. A few letters have the forms of cursive or script letters. Examples: {| class="wikitable" ! style="width:2em;" | !! IPA symbol name !! phonetic description !! Unicode name |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɑ}} || script A || [[open back unrounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɡ}} || opentail G {{footnote|1}} || [[voiced velar stop]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER SCRIPT G |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ʋ}} || cursive V {{footnote|2}} || [[labiodental approximant]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH HOOK |} '''Note''' #The "looptail G" [[Image:Looptail g.PNG|10 px]] is not strictly an IPA character, but is an acceptable alternative. #In form and origin, but not in name, this is the Greek upsilon. Ligatures are called precisely that, although some have alternate names. Examples: {| class="wikitable" ! style="width:2em;" | !! IPA symbol name !! phonetic description !! Unicode name |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|œ}} || (lower-case) o-e ligature || [[open-mid front rounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɮ}} || L-Ezh ligature || [[voiced alveolar lateral fricative|voiced coronal lateral fricative]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER LEZH |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|æ}} || [[Ash (letter)|ash]]; (lower-case) a-e ligature || [[near-open front unrounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER AE |} Many letters are ''turned'', or rotated 180 degrees. Examples: {| class="wikitable" ! style="width:2em;" | !! IPA symbol name !! phonetic description !! Unicode name |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ʎ}} || turned Y || [[palatal lateral approximant]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED Y |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɥ}} || turned H || [[labial-palatal approximant]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɒ}} || turned script A || [[open back rounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED ALPHA |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ʌ}} || turned V || [[open-mid back unrounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL TURNED V |- | style="text-align:center;" | {{IPA|ɔ}} || open O || [[open-mid back rounded vowel]] || LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O |} The symbol {{IPA|ɔ}} can be described as a ''turned cee'', but it is almost always referred to as ''open o'', which described both its articulation and its shape. The symbol {{IPA|ʌ}} is often also called "[[caret]]" or "wedge" for it similarity to that diacritic. A few letters are ''reversed'' (flipped on a vertical axis): '''{{IPA|ɘ}}''' ''reversed E'', '''{{IPA|ɜ}}''' ''reversed epsilon'', '''{{IPA|ʕ}}''' ''reversed glottal stop'' [often called by its Arabic name, ''[[ayin]]'']. One letter is ''inverted'' (flipped on a horizontal axis): '''{{IPA|ʁ}}''' ''inverted R''. ('''{{IPA|ʍ}}''' could also be called an ''inverted double-u'', but ''turned double-u'' is more common.) When a horizontal stroke is added, it is called a ''bar'': '''{{IPA|ħ}}''' ''barred H'', '''{{IPA|ɵ}}''' ''barred o'', '''{{IPA|ʢ}}''' ''reversed barred glottal stop'' or ''barred ayin'', '''{{IPA|ɟ}}''' ''barred dotless J'' or ''barred gelded J'' [apparently never 'turned F'], '''{{IPA|ǂ}}''' ''double-barred pipe'', etc. One letter instead has a ''slash'' through it: '''{{IPA|ø}}''' ''slashed O''. The implosives have ''hook'' tops: '''{{IPA|ɓ}}''' ''hook-top B'', as does '''{{IPA|ɦ}}''' ''hook-top H''. Such an extension at the bottom of a letter is called a ''tail''. It may be specified as ''left'' or ''right'' depending on which direction it turns: '''{{IPA|ɳ}}''' ''right-tail N'', '''{{IPA|ɻ}}''' ''right-tail turned R'', '''{{IPA|ɲ}}''' ''left-tail N'' [note that '''{{IPA|ŋ}}''' has its own traditional name, ''[[engma]]''], '''{{IPA|ɱ}}''' ''left-tail em'', '''{{IPA|ʐ}}''' ''tail Z'' [or just ''retroflex Z''], etc. When the tail loops over itself, it's called ''curly'': '''{{IPA|ʝ}}''' ''curly-tail jay'', '''{{IPA|ɕ}}''' ''curly-tail C''. There are also a few unique modifications: '''{{IPA|ɬ}}''' ''belted L'', '''{{IPA|ɞ}}''' ''closed reversed epsilon'' [there was once also a '''{{IPA|ɷ}}''' ''closed omega''], '''{{IPA|ɰ}}''' ''right-leg turned M'', '''{{IPA|ɺ}}''' ''turned long-leg R'' [there was once also a ''long-leg R''], '''{{IPA|ǁ}}''' ''double pipe'', and the obsolete '''{{IPA|ʗ}}''' ''stretched C''. Several non-English letters have traditional names: '''{{IPA|ç}}''' ''C [[cedilla]]'', '''{{IPA|ð}}''' ''[[Eth (letter)|eth]]'' (also spelled ''edh''), '''{{IPA|ŋ}}''' ''[[engma]]'', '''{{IPA|ə}}''' ''[[schwa]]'', '''{{IPA|ǃ}}''' ''exclamation mark'', '''{{IPA|<nowiki>ǀ</nowiki>}}''' ''pipe''. Other symbols are unique to the IPA, and have developed their own quirky names: '''{{IPA|ɾ}}''' ''fish-hook R'', '''{{IPA|ɤ}}''' ''[[ram's horns]]'', '''{{IPA|ʘ}}''' ''[[bull's eye]]'', '''{{IPA|ʃ}}''' ''[[esh (letter)|esh]]'' [apparently never 'stretched ess'], '''{{IPA|ʒ}}''' ''[[ezh]]'' [sometimes also ''[[yogh]]''], '''{{IPA|ɧ}}''' ''hook-top heng''. The '''{{IPA|ʔ}}''' is usually called by the sound it represents, ''glottal stop''. This is not normally a problem, because this symbol is seldom used to represent anything else. However, to specify the symbol itself, it is sometimes called a ''gelded question mark''. ===The diacritic marks=== Diacritics with traditional names: :'''{{IPA|é}}''' ''[[Acute accent|acute]]'', '''{{IPA|ē}}''' ''[[macron]]'', '''{{IPA|è}}''' ''[[Grave accent|grave]]'', '''{{IPA|ê}}''' ''[[circumflex]]'', '''{{IPA|ě}}''' ''[[caron]], [[wedge]],'' or ''[[háček]]'', '''{{IPA|ë}}''' ''[[diaeresis]]'' or ''[[umlaut]]'', '''{{IPA|ĕ}}''' ''[[breve]]'', '''{{IPA|ẽ}}''' ''(superscript) [[tilde]]'', plus variants such as '''{{IPA|ḛ}}''' ''subscript tilde'', '''{{IPA|ɫ}}''' ''superimposed tilde'', etc. Non-traditional diacritics: :'''{{IPA|d̼}}''' ''seagull'', '''{{IPA|e˞}}''' ''hook'', '''{{IPA|e̽}}''' ''over-cross'', '''{{IPA|d ̚}}''' ''corner'', '''{{IPA|d̪}}''' ''bridge'', '''{{IPA|d̺}}''' ''inverted bridge'', '''{{IPA|d̻}}''' ''square'', '''{{IPA|e̥}}''' ''under-ring'', '''{{IPA|e̊}}''' ''over-ring'', '''{{IPA|e̜}}''' ''left half-ring'', '''{{IPA|e̹}}''' ''right half-ring'', '''{{IPA|e̟}}''' ''plus'', '''{{IPA|e̠}}''' ''under-bar'', '''{{IPA|e̯}}''' ''arch'', '''{{IPA|d̬}}''' ''subscript wedge'', '''{{IPA|e̝}}''' ''up tack'', '''{{IPA|e̞}}''' ''down tack'', '''{{IPA|e̘}}''' ''left tack'', '''{{IPA|e̙}}''' ''right tack'', '''{{IPA|d͡z}}''' ''tie bar'', '''{{IPA|ẹ}}''' ''under-dot'', '''{{IPA|n̩}}''' ''under-stroke''. Diacritics are alternately named after their function: The bridge is also called the ''dental sign,'' the under-stroke the ''syllabicity sign,'' etc. ==Comparison to other phonetic notation== The IPA is not the only phonetic transcription system in use. The other common Latin-based system is the [[Americanist phonetic notation]], devised for representing American languages, but used by some US linguists as an alternate to the IPA. There are also sets of symbols specific to [[Slavic languages|Slavic]], [[Indic languages|Indic]], [[Finno-Ugric languages|Finno-Ugric]], and [[Caucasian languages|Caucasian]] linguistics, as well as other regional specialies. The differences between these alphabets and IPA are relatively small, although often the special characters of the IPA are abandoned in favour of diacritics or digraphs. Other alphabets, such as [[Hangul]], may have their own phonetic extensions. There also exist featural phonetic transcription systems, such as [[Alexander Bell]]'s [[Visible Speech]] and its derivatives. There is an extended version of the IPA for [[Speech disorder|disordered speech]] (extIPA), which has been included in this article, and another set of symbols used for voice quality (VoQS). There are also many personal or idiosyncratic extensions, such as [[#External links|Luciano Canepari's ''<sup><small>can</small></sup>IPA'']]. Since the IPA uses symbols that are outside the [[ASCII]] character set, several systems have been developed that map the IPA symbols to ASCII characters. Two notable systems are [[Kirshenbaum]] and [[SAMPA]] (or [[X-SAMPA]]). These systems are often used in electronic media, although their usage has been declining with the development of computer technology, specifically because of spreading support for [[Unicode]].

To properly view IPA symbols in Internet Explorer for Windows, you must set your browser font to a typeface that includes the IPA extensions, such as [[Lucida Sans Unicode]], which comes with Windows XP; [[Gentium]], [[Charis (SIL)]], and [[Doulos (SIL)]], which are freely available (see links above); or [[Arial Unicode MS]], which comes with Microsoft Office. Alternatively, the style sheet could try using unicode-range specifications to note the gaps where Times does not have glyphs for IPA, Hawaiian [[Okina|‘okina]] (glottal stop), etc. and thus hopefully force the browser to check further down the list of fonts. On this page, we have forced the browser to use such a font, so it should appear correctly, but this hasn't yet been done to all the other pages containing IPA. This also applies to other pages using [[meta:Help:Special characters|special symbols]]. Bear this in mind if you see error symbols such as "蚟" in articles. Special symbols should display properly without further configuration with Mozilla Firefox, Konqueror, Opera, Safari and most other recent browsers. </div> [[Category:Phonetic alphabets]] {{wikipedia|International Phonetic Alphabet}} File:Centum Satem map.png 2137 7751 2006-03-03T06:31:55Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:IE0500BP.png 2138 7752 2006-03-03T06:32:32Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:IE1500BP.png 2139 7753 2006-03-03T06:32:49Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:IE2500BP.png 2140 7754 2006-03-03T06:33:04Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:IE3500BP.png 2141 7755 2006-03-03T06:33:20Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:IE4500BP.png 2142 7756 2006-03-03T06:33:34Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:IE countries.png 2143 7757 2006-03-03T06:33:54Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:TolkaappiyamExcerpt.png 2144 7758 2006-03-03T06:34:13Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) File:TolkaappiyamExcerptArticulatoryPhonetics.png 2145 7759 2006-03-03T06:34:51Z Denihilonihil 119 (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia) User talk:Denihilonihil 2147 16561 2006-11-25T07:36:04Z Muke 1 One thing you might want to be aware of in copying material from Wikipedia is that a link to the original Wikipedia article is required [I notice you neglecting this, it should go just after <tt><nowiki>{{wikipedia}}</nowiki></tt>], e.g.: :{{wikipedia}} [[Wikipedia:Subject Object Verb]] Another thing (as I mentioned [[User talk:Spelldown|to someone else]] awhile back) is that this information will likely go stale here, where there are fewer people working, compared to Wikipedia which has more working on keeping it fresh.

Greek texts from the Alexandrian library that have since disappeared tell us that the small descendant community living in Carthage and on the Purple Islands believed that their ancestors had lived on an island outside the gates of Heracles that had since sunken beneath the waves. The size of the island is unclear, since some said it was the size of Sicily, while others claimed it was as large as Iberia or even Gaul. Scholars believe that the indigenous people were perhaps distantly related to the Basques. Later on, a group of Eteocretan-speaking proto-Minoans migrated for still unknown reasons, bringing their early Cretan civilization with them and strongly influencing the existing culture; at this time, cities started to emerge on the island, and a [[Wikipedia:mixed_language|mixed language]] arose from the bilingualism of the two populations. After the Trojan War, Mycenaean-Greek-speaking Salaminians and Aegeans who had been driven to the island by stormy weather on the seas settled and culturally assimilated to the native population but left a clear mark on parts of the verbal morphology. ==General Characteristics== ==Phonology== ===Vowels=== ====Vowel System==== Classical Silendion had at least six short vowel phonemes and five long vowel phonemes. <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Short Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || {{IPA|y}} || || || || || || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || {{IPA|ɛ}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɔ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-low || || || ({{IPA|æ}}) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> Long vowels are indicated by double writing, also called plene writing, for example in Hittite: da-a-at-ti [dāti] 'you take', pe-e-da-as [pēdas] '(s)he took away', or i-it [īd] 'go!'. <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Long Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|iː}} || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|uː}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || {{IPA|eː}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|oː}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-low || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|aː}} |} </div> ====Diphthongs==== There are several diphthongs, although the exact number is under dispute. [āi], [ēi] and [ōi] were probably long diphthongs, from several sources. There were also three corresponding short diphthongs [ai], [ei] and [oi]. There were probably also at least five other diphthongs: [au], [eu], possibly [ou], [iu] and [ui]. ===Consonants=== ====Stops==== There were ten stops, and there is no evidence to indicate that their distribution was affected by sound change. <center> {|style="text-align:center" border="0" cellpadding="2" !width="50"|Labial !width="50"|Alveolar !width="50"|Palatalized Alveolar !width="50"|Velar !width="50"|Labiovelar |- |[p] |[t] |[tʲ] |[k] |[kʷ] |- |[b] |[d] |[dʲ] |[g] |[gʷ] |} </center> Silendion also had true geminate, or doubled, stops, for example ''atta'' 'father' [atta]. ====Glides, Nasals and Liquids==== There were two glides, a palatal [j] and a labial [w]. There were also at least three nasal phonemes [n], [m] and [ŋ] and two liquid phonemes [l] and [r]. Liquids and two of the nasals are written double in a number of contexts, and the evidence suggests that [n], [m], [l], and [r] were opposed to geminate, or doubled, nasals and liquids. In some cases a clear contrast is made, indicating that the difference was phonemic. The nasal [n] and the liquids [l] and [r] also appeared contrastively in palatalized forms [nʲ], [lʲ] and [rʲ], respectively. ====Fricatives and Affricates==== Silendion had at least one voiceless alveolar fricative [s], which contrasted with a geminate [ss]. The existence of corresponding voiced [z] and [zz] was rhotacized early on to [r] and [rr], respectively. Silendion also had the following fricatives that did not appear in geminate form: <center> {|style="text-align:center" border="0" cellpadding="2" !width="50"|Labial !width="50"|Dental !width="50"|Velar !width="50"|Labiovelar |- |[f] |[þ] |[h] |[hʷ] |- |[v] |[ð] |[ɣ] = ∅ |[ɣʷ] = [w] |} </center> There was one affricate, [ts], which surfaced only as an allophone of [s]. ===Phonotactics=== ====Morphophonemics==== ===Word Stress=== ==Person== ==Nominal System== ===Nouns=== ====Gender and Animacy==== ====[[Wikipedia: Suffixaufnahme|Suffixaufnahme]]==== ===Adjectives=== Words with adjectival meaning are either nouns with suffixaufnahme or derived from verbs, often from perfect-stative forms. Attributive adjectives agree with their head nouns in case, gender and number (not necessarily in declensional suffix!). Animate adjectives take the declensional suffixes of first-declension nouns in ''a'', while neuters take second-declension neuter suffixes in declension. Substantively used adjectives can take any declensional suffix that nouns can take. ====Predicative Verbs==== Adjectives are inflected as verbs when used as predicates. There is evidence indicating that adjectives in all their uses are actually thought of as a special kind of verb. {{Seealso|#Stative Verbs}} ====Comparison==== ====Adverbs==== Adverbs do not exist separately but only as adjectives or nouns declined in the adverbial case. ===Personal Pronouns and Determiners=== {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" align="right" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px gray solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; vertical-align: center;" | colspan=2 rowspan=2 style="background:white;border-top:2px white solid;border-right:1px solid gray;border-bottom:1px solid gray;border-left:2px white solid;"| | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Number'''</big> |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Singular''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Paucal''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Plural''''' |- | rowspan=5 style="background:#9FB6CD"|<big>'''Person'''</big> | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''First''''' |min |mokiar ''(inclusive)'' momiar ''(exclusive)'' |mokir ''(inclusive)'' momir ''(exclusive)'' |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Second''''' |kin |kiar |kir |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Third Proximate''''' |tin |tiar |tir |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Third Obviative''''' |sin ''(anim.)'' son ''(neut.)'' |siar ''(anim.)'' soin ''(neut.)'' |sir ''(anim.)'' sa ''(neut.)'' |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Indefinite Generic''''' | colspan=3 align="center" | [null] = ∅ |} In Silendion, there are fourteen pronouns. It has two first person plural pronouns ("we", in English). One is called the inclusive, which is used when the speaker wishes to include in "we" the person to whom he or she is speaking ("we and you"). The other form is called the exclusive, which is used when the addressee is excluded ("we without you"). Animate personal pronouns are declined like animate nouns of the fourth declension, while neuter personal pronouns are declined like such nouns of the second declension. Unlike nouns, pronouns are [[Wikipedia: nominative-accusative language|nominative-accusative]] in morphosyntactic alignment: with regard to the semantic distribution of agent, patient and experiencer between these two cases, the nominative case is used with subjects of transitive and of intransitive verbs, while the accusative case is used only with direct objects. The nominative and accusative forms of personal pronouns are used only for emphasis of these arguments of the verb. ====Spatial and Discourse Deixis==== {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" align="left" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px gray solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; vertical-align: center;" | colspan=1 rowspan=2 style="background:white;border-top:2px white solid;border-right:1px solid gray;border-bottom:1px solid gray;border-left:2px white solid;"| | colspan=2 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Animate'''</big> | colspan=2 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Neuter'''</big> |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Proximate''''' | colspan=2 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Obviative''''' |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Proximal (Here)''''' |aumin |auminun |aumon |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Distal (There)''''' |aukin |aukinun |aukon |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Remote (Yonder)''''' |autin |autinun |auton |} <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ==Adpositions== In Silendion, [[Wikipedia: adposition|adposition]]s can be placed either postpositionally or prepositionally ([[Wikipedia: adposition|ambiposition]]s), but it is more common to see them used as postpositions. All or nearly all adpositions in Silendion have meanings that depend on the case taken by their objects. ===With Nominal Objects (Noun-Headed Cliticization)=== There are more differences between the two than just placement with respect to the object(s) of an adposition. With prepositions, their object noun phrases are marked with the appropriate nominal inflections. With postpositions, however, while the structure in older Silendion was the same, in classical Silendion the inflectional suffixes migrated from the nouns to the adpositions in a shift from independent marking to head marking, with a [[Wikipedia: paragoge|paragogic]] vowel after the noun phrase's head noun. After this, the adpositions fused with the nouns as enclitics. <pre> P (DET) N-CASE.NUMBER (DET) N-P-CASE.NUMBER </pre> ("N" = noun, "P" = postposition or adposition, "DET" = determiner) ===With Pronominal Objects (Adposition-Headed Amalgamation)=== When an adposition has a first- or second-person object or a pronominal third-person object, another construction is used. The adposition is inflected for person, then declined with adjectival suffixes. <pre> P-POSS.PERSON-CASE.NUMBER </pre> ==Conjunctions== ==Verbal System== ===Tense-Aspect Systems=== ====Imperfective System==== ====Aorist (Perfective) System==== ====Perfect-Stative System==== ===Voices=== ===Moods=== ====Indicative==== ====Imperative==== ====Subjunctive==== ====Optative==== ====Conditional==== ====Potential==== ===Non-finite Forms=== ====Infinitives==== ====Participles==== ====Converbs==== ====Supines==== ===Present System Conjugation=== The paradigm of ''lerdeina'', 'make, do', is given below. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px gray solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; vertical-align: center;" | colspan=2 rowspan=2 align="center" style="background:white;border-top:2px solid gray;border-right:1px solid gray;border-bottom:1px solid gray;border-left:2px solid gray;"|<big>'''ACTIVE VOICE'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Singular'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Paucal'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Plural'''</big> |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' |- | colspan=1 rowspan=2 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Finite'''</big> | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Indicative''''' |lerdō |lerdeis |lerdei |lerdosse |lerdekse |lerdepse |lerdolen |lerdete |lerdor |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Imperative''''' | |lerde |lerdes | |lerdek |lerdep | |lerdete |lerdorte |- | colspan=1 rowspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Non-Finite'''</big> | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Infinitive''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | lerdeina |- | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Participle''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | lerdontos, lerdontē, lerdonton |- | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''[Gerund]''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | [lerdond-] |- | colspan=11 rowspan=1 align="center" style="background:solid gray;border-top:1px solid gray;border-right:1px solid gray;border-bottom:1px solid gray;border-left:1px solid gray;"| |- | colspan=2 rowspan=2 align="center" style="background:white;border-top:2px solid gray;border-right:1px solid gray;border-bottom:1px solid gray;border-left:2px solid gray;"|<big>'''MIDDLE VOICE'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Singular'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Paucal'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Plural'''</big> |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' |- | colspan=1 rowspan=2 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Finite'''</big> | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Indicative''''' |lerdomes |lerdesai |lerdetai |lerdosso |lerdekso |lerdepso |lerdomela |lerdesþe |lerdontai |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Imperative''''' | |lerdeso |lerdero | |lerdeko |lerdepo | |lerdesþe |lerdoste |- | colspan=1 rowspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Non-Finite'''</big> | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Infinitive''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | lerdeþai |- | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Participle''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | lerdampos, lerdampē, lerdampon |- | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''[Gerund]''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | [lerdamb-] |} Conjunct-order moods, the remaining finite moods, (subjunctive, optative, conditional) are formed by agglutinative suffixes placed immediately before the indicative personal endings: :*Subjunctive: -eina + personal ending :*Optative: -oi + personal ending :*Conditional: -ith + [subjnc. (non-past) or opt. (past)] + [personal ending] The gerund is never used by itself but only as a form for generating converbs and supines. The paucal forms of the verb are a comparatively recent innovation of poetic origin. The following inflections are not for subject marking but are used as object markers preceding the main subject agreement markers showing voice and mood. They are labeled 'accusative' rather than 'passive' because object agreement markers are not inflected for either voice or mood. Accusative markers having developed from a true passive during the earlier accusative-aligned stages of Silendion, however, the formerly passive endings for the conjunct-order moods were completely lost in the standard mesolect, while the other moods as well as non-finite forms were retained, though the non-finite forms are not semantically distinct from their middle counterparts, being used mainly as stylistic variants more common in some dialects. In some dialects, though, the old passive shifted in its use to an antipassive in which the agent takes the agentive case and the patient is absent. In poetic usage, the tension between these dialectal variants and passive archaisms can be manipulated in transitive sentences for ambiguity. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px gray solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; vertical-align: center;" | colspan=2 rowspan=2 align="center" style="background:white;border-top:2px solid gray;border-right:1px solid gray;border-bottom:1px solid gray;border-left:2px solid gray;"|<big>'''ACCUSATIVE'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Singular'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Paucal'''</big> | colspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Plural'''</big> |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''1''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''2''''' | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''3''''' |- | colspan=1 rowspan=2 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Finite'''</big> | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Indicative''''' |lerdomas |lerdesi |lerdeti |lerdossi |lerdeksi |lerdepsi |lerdomeni |lerdetis |lerdonte |- | align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Imperative''''' | |lerdesa |lerdera | |lerdeki |lerdepi | |lerdetis |lerdote |- | colspan=1 rowspan=3 align="center" style="background:#9FB6CD;"|<big>'''Non-Finite'''</big> | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Infinitive''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | [lerdesu] |- | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''Participle''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | [lerdankos, lerdankē, lerdankon] |- | colspan=1 align="center" style="background:#B9D3EE"|'''''[Gerund]''''' | colspan=9 align="left" | [lerdang-] |} ====Consonant Stem Conjugation==== ====High Vowel Stem Conjugation==== ====Contract Conjugations in ''a'', ''e'' and ''o''==== ===Stative Verbs=== Stative verbs are conjugated in the perfect-stative aspect, either as forms of existing verbs or as defective verbs.

It is an inflected fusional language with two grammatical genders and It is based on no other language, but it is nonetheless mostly conventional. ==Phonology== IPA equivalents are given here for letters in the most common writing system I use.

Also, any diphthong automatically takes the stress, including the "diphthongs" ar, er, ir, or, and ur, unless there is an accent mark, which always overrides it; however, stress cannot fall on the last syllable unless there is an accent written. Thus, "sathay" is pronounced ['saθaɪ] whereas "satháy" is pronounced [saθ'aɪ]. ===Syllable rules=== Where C represents any consonant above and V any vowel, generally: Word-initially, a syllable may take the form CCVC; Medially, a syllable may take the form CVC; Word-finally, a syllable may take the form CVC. This boils down to a word structure of CCVCCVCCVCCVC, at most. In other words, you can never have more than two consonants next to each other, including liquids. Some exceptions: * If the last consonant is a spirant (denoted as s) [s] or [z], the final syllable can take the form CVCs. * When the last consonant is r functioning as a vowel, the cluster can end in CCVCr or even theoretically CCVCsr. For example, "tiryatr" (to the kingdom), "èmatr" (to the animal), "cutsr" (to the cube). When a voiced consonant comes in contact with an unvoiced consonant, the whole consonant cluster becomes voiced. Thus, satha (white) + varósa (clothed) = sadhvarósa (white-clothed) Two plosives can never be juxtaposed. When there is a consonant cluster of the form PP (where P is a plosive), it will become FP, where F is the fricative equivalent according to the following rule: * p -> f * b -> v * t -> th * d -> dh * ch -> sh * c -> k * g -> g The resultant is then voiced if necessary; since there is no voiced equivalent of k, it simply disappears. The following clusters will change as follows, where P is any plosive, V any vowel, and F any fricative, N any nasal and P(n) that nasal's plosive equivalent, and L any approximant or fricative: * PvV -> PwV * PgV -> PyV * kyV -> shV * hLV -> cLV * NN -> P(n)N This transformations are performed before applying the two-consonant rule to reduce clusters. Hence, nelki (to hate) + ya (3rd person singular present) = nelsha ==Grammar== ===Nouns=== Eylastali nouns have the following properties: * Two genders: masculine and feminine; * Two numbers: singular and plural. Gender is lost in the plural. * Six cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, locative, and vocative; * Two "aspects": definite and indefinite; * Two "verities": positive and negative. I can't figure out how to do a fancy table so bear with me here: For the prototypical masculine noun I here use "neldas" (the nose), for the prototypical feminine "etwês" (the star). Not all nouns are regular; many nouns end simply in a consonant rather than the -a or -e gender ending. These words must simply be memorized along with their gender (normally denoted by the nominative pronoun they take, "ga" (masculine) or "e" (feminine)). ====Regular masculine paradigm==== * Nominative positive: nelda (a nose), neldas (the nose) * Nominative negative: nelday (not a nose), neldays (not the nose) * Accusative positive: neldo (a nose), neldos (the nose) * Accusative negative: neldoy (not a nose), neldoys (not the nose) * Genitive positive: nelden (a/the nose's) * Genitive negative: neldedmá (not a/the nose's) * Dative positive: neldar (to a/the nose) * Dative negative: neldamá (not to the nose) * Locative positive: neldov (at the nose) * Locative negative: neldoyv (not at the nose) * Vocative positive: neldat (O nose!) * Vocative negative: neldayt (O non-nose!) ====Regular feminine paradigm==== * Nominative positive: etwe (a star), etwês (the star) * Nominative negative: etweya (not a star), etwêsmá (not the star) * Accusative positive: etwo (a star), etwôs (the star) * Accusative negative: etwoy (not a star), etwôsmá (not the star) * Genitive positive: etwin (a/the star's) * Genitive negative: etwidmá (not a/the star's) * Dative positive: etwiz (to a/the star) * Dative negative: etwemá (not to the star) * Locative positive: etwon (at the star) * Locative negative: etwoyn (not at the star) * Vocative positive: etwêt (O star!) * Vocative negative: etwêtmá (O non-star!) ====Regular plural paradigm==== * Nominative positive: etwi (stars), etwis (the stars) * Nominative negative: etwiya (not stars), etwismá (not the stars) * Accusative positive: etwu (stars), etwus (the stars) * Accusative negative: etwuy (not stars), etwusmá (not the stars) * Genitive positive: etwanir (the stars') * Genitive negative: etwadmá (not the stars') * Dative positive: etwalir (to the stars) * Dative negative: etwalmá (not to the stars) * Locative positive: etwanon (among the stars) * Locative negative: etwanoyn (not among the stars) * Vocative positive: etwit (O stars!) * Vocative negative: etwitmá (O non-stars!) ===Pronouns=== Eylastali pronouns serve either as placeholders for nouns or as focus markers. More on this distinction in the sentence structure section. Singular pronouns: {| border=1 !English (nominative) || Nominative || Accusative || Genitive || Dative || Locative |- |I||nwa*||(h)om||men||omr||mov |- |thou<br>you||sha||(h)eth||thay||the||thov |- |he<br>it||ga||ta||tay||tar||tov |- |she<br>it||e||te||teya||tiz||ton |} Plural pronouns: {| border=1 !English (nominative) || Nominative || Accusative || Genitive || Dative || Locative |- |we||amen<br>amel**||(h)imu<br>(h)imlu||imir||imlir||ibnon |- |ye<br>you||sfia||(h)ivu||ivir||ivlir||ivnon |- |they||kay||ihu||ihir||iclir||icnon |} There is also the pronoun "a", which is the indefinite<br>passive pronoun, roughly equivalent to the "there" in "there are clouds outside." Verbs with it as subject always take the second person ending. The initial h on the accusative pronouns only comes into play when the pronoun comes after a vowel. Ie: * Nweri sarim ''eth''. (I want to see you.) <br> vs. * Ga nerya sarya ''heth''. (He wants to see you.) <br> Nwa is rarely used as a pronoun in its own right, except as a focus marker or relative pronoun. Amel refers to we as in "someone else and I" ie it is exclusive; amen refers to we as in "you and I" ie it is inclusive. Pronouns are negated by the suffix -má. ===Adjectives=== Adjectives are inflected to agree with the ending of the noun they modify, including negative endings. Positive endings: {| border=1 ! ||Nominative || Accusative || Genitive || Dative || Locative || Vocative |- |Masc. || -a || -o || -an || -ar || -ov || -(th)a |- |Fem. || -e || -o || -en || -er || -on || -(th)e |- |Plu. || -i || -u || -(n)ir || -(l)ir || -(n)on || -(th)i |} Positive endings: {| border=1 ! ||Nominative || Accusative || Genitive || Dative || Locative || Vocative |- |Masc. || -ay || -oy || -ayn || -admá || -oyv || -(th)ay |- |Fem. || -eya || -oy || -êdmá || -edmá || -oyn || -(th)eya |- |Plu. || -iya || -uy || -(n)idmá || -(l)idmá || -(n)oyn || -(th)iya |} The consonants in parentheses only appear when the adjective root ends in a vowel. A negative noun always takes a negative adjective, but a positive noun may take a negative adjective if that adjective is to be negated. Ie: * "Efiya garismá" = the old not-men <br> vs.<br> * "Efiya garis" = the not-old men ===Verbs and Meaningless Particles=== ====Conjugation==== Verbs are conjugated in two tenses according to the subject. Verbs have no infinitive form, but are referred to for convenience by their second-person singular form. The regular present-tense pattern is as follows, using the verb "tari", to talk: {| border=1 |I talk || twari |||| we talk || amen taru |- |you talk || sha tari |||| you(pl) talk || sfia tari |- |he talks || ga tarya |||| they talk || kay taru |- |she talks || e tarya |||| there is talking || a tari |} And past tense: {| border=1 |I talked || twaro |||| we talked || amen taru |- |you talked || sha taro |||| you(pl) talked || sfia taro |- |he talked || ga taryo |||| they talked || kay taru |- |she talked || e taryo |||| there was talking || a tari |} The first person conjugation here is the most interesting. The pronoun "nwa" is subsumed into the verb and manifested as an infixed "w". When the two-consonant rule prohibits such infixion, it is simply not done; when a word begins in a vowel, either the "w" is infixed in the syllable carrying primary stress, or the word begins with "nw-". Ie: * ''Atwari'' ta sca. = I represent him. (using verb atari = to represent) * ''Nwari'' heth sca. = I see you. (using verb ari = to see) Since verbs have no infinitive, they are always conjugated for subject, even when it seems redundant. However, while the pronoun may be repeated in such situations, it is not required. Thus: * Ga nerya ''tirya'' egmo scaya. = He wants to rule the world., literally "he wants rules a world." * Sha trefi ''layli'' laylo. = You try to sing a song., literally "you try sing a song." Note that the pronoun "nwa", when appearing after a verb in such a situation, appears as the suffix "-m." It is required to be present. Thus, * Trefo ''tarôm'' the scaya, cha swescoy. = I tried to talk to you but couldn't., literally "I tried talked I to you, but I couldn't." * Swek ''cóclim'' vecu fuylu. = I can buy two spoons., literally "I can buy I two spoons." * Èn sa ek ''sarim'' eth. = It is good to see you., literally "Good is, that see I you." Suffixes can also be attached to verbs to signify future or distant past events. These do not count as separate tenses. The future suffix is -ví and the past suffix is -mó. ====Meaningless Particles==== The meaningless particles, while originally conceived as truly meaningless, have grown to actually mean something: they are the difference between a general action and a specific action, the difference between "I eat rabbits" (Shwumi féfaru) and "I am eating rabbits" (Shwumi féfaru sca). Every verb takes one of six such M.P.s, the distribution being largely arbitrary, although there are some general guidelines. The M.P.s are furthermore inflected for tense and mood, and have some special forms. M.P.s can exist without a verb to modify, in which case they imply the presence of a verb, one which would agree with the M.P. * '''sa''' is mostly used for intransitive verbs lacking motion; used for location, temporary states of being, stationary activities, etc. * '''ha''' is mostly used for intransitive verbs of motion. * '''sca''' is used for transitive verbs. It tends to be used with verbs involving a clear object and subject, and involving dynamic physical motion. * '''la''' is used to imply suddenness and surprise. It is the least common M.P. * '''na''' is used often for transitive and intransitive verbs involving emotion or intimate personal states. * '''fa''' is mostly indistinguishable from "sca", but it is used for verbs involving a change of state. You can usually guess which M.P. a verb takes but there's no discernable rule distinguishing sca and fa for all verbs involving them, so it must simply be memorized. The M.P.s have the following forms for tense<br>mood<br>verity: {| border=1 |present positive || sa || ha || sca || na || la || fa |- |past positive || so || ko || sco || no || lo || fo |- |subjunctive || saya || haya || scaya || naya || laya || faya |- |present negative || soy || hoy || scoy || noy || loy || foy |- |past negative || si || ki || shi || mi || li || fi |} The subjunctive is used when the veracity of a verb is in question; it is used when asking questions, in uncertain subordinate clauses, and for conditional statements. The negative M.P.s are the only way to negate a verb; even in cases where a verb would not carry an M.P. in the positive, it must carry one in the negative. The M.P.s also have certain special forms: * '''asi, ahi, ash, ani, ali, afi; asaya; asoy''': Used much like the present subjunctive in German journalism. When a verb carries an M.P. in one of these forms, it represents something according to someone else without casting too much doubt on the veracity of the verb. It is also used to head off the "if" part of if-then statements. * '''isi, ihi, ish(i), ini, ili, ifi; isaya; isoy''' are sort of diminuative forms implying smallness or motion toward the speaker. In these forms the tense distinction is lost. ok I'm tired; going to bed ==An unfinished text in Vrne Tartal== Urov swa Driov Aharo cwi aványir adzelir <br> swa sewlir sadhalir kay egmov so, <br> cyat nwa voydhósa laylim ivlir te <br> ti ecyo aynon sunanon efró. <br> A sadhar so ek Uren tartebla, <br> ol èov tiryo Dria egmôs sco, <br> agáhte Uras agadríabla, <br> ga nelsho glarion ta tiryatôs. <br> Ga onlo Uras genwon Driathon, <br> e naryo norov opyês egmien, <br> swa onlu fehi engei ton so, <br> shta edzu asi kay mot áveken; <br> cha'y naru prôvilúlis evrulon, <br> swa genulnon athorin Driathen, <br> swa'y obnu Fortesmo, ga bliov sa, <br> cha'y gyaru Driar fi mot zahus men. <br> Niy aysho adzel Rahas Uzar ko <br> swa tasco "Urat lei nari sha, <br> ti trefi bladhi gyatsu athelon, <br> è semza ga, ta nelki, cetson sa? <br> Heth twari bladhim athriôs nwa fo <br> am adri engi adzelis selát; <br> te bladhu amel fo el roy swa cwar <br> swa shtendi vekti; nol anari sha." <br> Agáhte sfetyo Uras adzelar,<br> "Shtalá cyatari sha tor athron men?"<br> Swa tar côcharya Rahas, "Tiryaví<br> sca sha aványa Driacétsien!" <br> Cha tasco Uras, "asi tirim shwi,<br> shtalá nwa cetson si ef aprien?"<br> Niy cyuriécyo Rahas sadhazar,<br> rwa tasco "Charismá to malpien! <br> Sha karaví athoriz niyov ha,<br> swa ihu prôvilúlus tólki fa,<br> rwa harbi sfia ta swa metri ta,<br> ga semza cetson scaya tira sa; <br> cha adzelbúloy ceri sfia noy,<br> cay Urat ti achari adzel sha,<br> swa asi scoy ek tarim ivlir sco,<br> sha voydhi saya nume vanyêsmá." <br> Ga shwendo Rahas Uren swa niylá,<br> ga aysho Driar cetson genwon lo,<br> swa taryo sfeto "Driel driathon,<br> heth twas ga hagya Urel curo fo <br> amétra heth swa prôvilúla sa,<br> swa trefya gyatsu harba tiryatôs."<br> "Sa zweri mo!" tas Dria pelion,<br> shta peliécyo 'haryo ágano. <br> Ol evrulon tiz vwecyo Uras ko,<br> kay fefmu sheflis nubnon shtecanon<br> swa'y eliu ayni etwis tôvaltá;<br> ga hokto Uras saknon bednanon. <br> Rwa haryo haru, beldatúus vef,<br> scay garis pómdon evron calanon,<br> swa te byo Uras froyo shtahte lo,<br> cur desfr samu kay ol eyanon. <br> Sadhari naru samu kay amtá,<br> sarlúlis so, swa elitsus bu kay,<br> kay eliálu monyu capsius<br> cha evriul swa omris eliáy. <br> "Sarlúlit cay!" tas Uras pelion,<br> "Vwex nari sfia engi vodhi say'!"<br> Cha tar côcharya mona "Asi soy;<br> ca aydhu amel sta swa driôráy." <br> Niy thesis corvu Uzar swa niylá,<br> kay aniarlu tar el enlias: <br> ga Mawgras, Ublas, Bednas swa selát,<br> ga Shakas, Hèas, Genas, Eshentas; <br> cha Sarlas monya naryo nei si,<br> shtalá ektaryo Genas swa ga tas <br> "Ga trefya halya Eriádnôs sca,<br> te hagya ga niy engov, Saralas."<br> Kijeb (Sohlob) 2165 51513 2010-01-16T18:32:04Z Melroch 31 /* Sandhi table */ [[Category:Sohlob]] [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Kijeb]] [[Category:Conlangs by Melroch]] '''Kijeb pages:''' <DPL> category=Kijeb </DPL> {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 class=bordertable style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid !important; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; |colspan="2" bgcolor="#fc9" color="#000000" align="center" |<font color="#000000"><big>'''Kijeb'''</big></font> |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: || Dlofiçtir Mountains |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: || [[Sohldar]] |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: || Unknown |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: || [[Sohlob]] languages<br> <!-- Branch<br> Subbranch<br> --> '''Kijeb''' |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: || SOV |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: || Agglutinating, with mild fusion due to sandhi |- |valign="top"|Morphosyntactic alignment: || Nominative-accusative |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#fc9" color="#000000" align="center" |<font color="#000000"><big>'''Created by:'''</big></font> |- || [[User:Melroch|Benct Philip Jonsson]] || 2001—2006 |} = Introduction = '''Kijeb''' {{IPA|[cidʑɨb̥]}} 'the ancient language' is the oldest attested [[Sohlob]] language, and regarded by the [[Sohlosjan|native]] grammatical tradition as the mother language of the [[Sohlob languages|later languages or dialects]] Classical Sohlob, Heleb, Kidilib and Linjeb. In fact Kijeb may be the direct ancestor only of Kidilib, while Classical Sohlob, Heleb and Linjeb may be descended from other closely related dialects — dialects which in any case cannot have been very much different, given the great similarity between Classical Sohlob, Heleb and Kidilib, and the relatively long time (above a thousand years) which is estimated to separate Kijeb from the beginning of the [[Sohlosjan|Sohlçan]] grammatical tradition. It is not known what the speakers of Kijeb called themselves or their language. The name '''Kijeb''' is a Classical Sohlob term, although its phonetic form has evidently been influenced by its unrecorded Kidilib cognate. It is in any case not likely that the speakers of Kijeb called their own contemporary language ''*kidipa'' 'ancient language'. Kijeb is attested in the form of mostly short formal religious, commemorative, dedicative and funerary inscriptions on stone and metal written in [[Kijeb writing|a syllabic script]]. There is evidence that there existed other writings in Kijeb language and script, since Sohlçan grammarians mention finds of pottery with Kijeb inscriptions in ancient graves. It seems clear however that with few exceptions the preserved Kijeb texts derive from the area where Kidilib was spoken in classical times. Despite the written attestation Kijeb is largely a reconstructed language, since the Kijeb syllabary is partly defective, ignoring the distinction between voiced and voiceless stops, partly between stops and fricatives, and in the oldest inscriptions also between palatalized and unpalatalized consonants, and between velar and labiovelar consonants, and since the vocabulary of the inscriptions is limited. The reconstruction of Kijeb was made by Sohlçan priest grammarians striving to understand ancient religious inscriptions in the hope of improving their theology and the wording of their liturgical texts. Fortunately some of them got hooked on the study of language and language history in its own right and delved deeper in the history of their languages than those who were merely motivated by religious conservatism and purism. __TOC__ = Kijeb (Proto-Sohlob) grammar = == Sound system == === Vowels === {| align="center" class="gridtable" ! || Front || Central || Back |- !

Some Sohlçan grammarians note that Heleb and Kidilib '''x''' was in fact redundantly labialized, and suppose that this was the case also in Kijeb. Others propose a Pre-Kijeb merger with ''f''; there are however no homonyms with ''f'' to support this theory. The cardinal palatal nasal ''ŋy'' {{IPA|[ɲ]}} does not contrast with the dental/alveolar ''ny'' {{IPA|[nʲ]}} in roots, but appears in inflexion and derivation. This is shown by the fact that its reflex in the daughter languages is {{IPA|[j]}}, e.g. ''tataŋya'' > CS: '''taday''' 'my own', while the reflex of ''ny'' is {{IPA|[ɲ]}}, ''brunya'' > CS: '''brony''' {{IPA|[brɒɲ]}} 'hatchet'. ==== Palatalization ==== An ''y'' after a consonant or cluster is realized as palatalization of the consonant, or all consonants throughout the cluster. ==== Assimilation and dissimilation ==== There were some assimilatory and dissimilatory changes that probably applied synchronically in Kijeb: {{GMPtable|Underlying}} |- | ''t'' || before voiced stops and nasals || ''d'' || ''kitbyu > *xidbyu'' > CS: '''xefd''', K: '''sijd''', L: '''xirz''';<br> ''yatgi > *yadgi'' > CS: '''yæqd''', K: '''yejd''', L: '''ierg''';<br> ''*atmi > *admi'' > CS: '''æzam''', K: '''ezany''', L: '''erm''';<br> ''gitnu > *gidnu'' > CS: '''gezen''', K: '''dizin''', L: '''girn''';<br> ''fitŋi > *fidŋi'' > CS: '''fizen''', K: '''siziny''', L: '''fid'''. |- | ''y'' || between a vowel and an ''i'' || g |- | ''y'' || between an ''i'' and an ''a'' or ''u'' || ''gy'' |- | ''w'' || between a vowel and an ''u'' || ''b'' |- | ''w'' || between an ''u'' and an ''a'' or ''i'' || ''gw'' |- | ''n'' || before ''p, b, f, m'' || ''m'' |- | ''n'' || before ''k, g, x, ŋ'' || ''ŋ'' |- | ''mm'' || in inflection || ''mb'' |- | ''nn'' || in inflection || ''nd'' |- | ''ŋŋ'' || in inflection || ''ŋg'' |- | ''rr'' || in inflection || ''dr'' |- | ''m, n, ŋ'' || between a ''t, d'' or ''s'' and a consonant other than ''r, w, y'' || deletes |- | ''tt, dd'' || in inflection || ''st, [z]d'' |- | ''r'' || between an ''s'' and a consonant other than ''r, w, y'' || ''ir'' |- | ''s'' || before voiced stops || [z] || ''sasbinta > *sazbinta'' > CS: '''hæzbænd''', K: '''hejdehn''', L: '''hezbent'''. |} The ''*rr > dr'' and ''*dd > zd'' rules conspire to produce ''*drr > zdr''. __TOC__ === Sandhi === The very restricted range of consonant clusters in Kijeb arose through sweeping sandhi changes. Most of these changes were assimilatory, like the pervasive regressive voicing assimilation, but some were dissimilatory, like the change of geminate nasals into nasal + homorganic voiced stop. In the table below the first ('leftmost') consonants of input clusters are shown in the leftmost column, while the second ('rightmost') consonants of input clusters are shown in the top row. Outputs are shown in the intersecting cells. Where convenient mergers have been indicated with merged cells, and unchanged outputs are indicated with bold type. Character values are as IPA, except that ''kw, gw, ñw'' are probably true labiovelars, ''y'' is {{IPA|/j/}} and consonant + ''y'' are realized as palatalized consonants. For ''ky, gy, ŋy, xy'' this probably means they were realized as {{IPA|[c, ɟ, ɲ, ç]}}. Labiovelars as the first element of an underlying cluster behave like velars, and palatalized sounds as the first element of an underlying cluster behave like their non-palatalized counterparts. Second elements retain their palatalization, and non-palatalized second elements don't get palatalized by palatalized first elements, i.e. palatalization is subject to regressive assimilation, just as voice. Maybe I could have a distinction so that labiovelars behave like labials before non-palatalized sounds but like velars before palatalized sounds, but I doubt there is any sound phonetic basis for that. Maybe a dialectal difference between labiovelar first element > velar and labiovelar first element > labial? I'm not sure what happens to underlying combinations of palatalized velar + labial (''*ky+p'' etc.), velar + palatalized labial (''*k+py'' etc.) and palatalized velar + palatalized labial (''*ky+py'' etc.), but my hunch is that at least the two latter become palatalized velars (''ky'' etc.) ==== Sandhi table ==== <table class="gridtable" style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"> <tr> <th

to ''**i'' or ''u'' before disappearing itself. ''**-uy'' and ''**-iw'' both resulted in ''*i'', possibly via {{IPA|[y]}}. * Pre-Kijeb ''*ww'' possibly gives '''b''' in [[Linjeb]]. Alternatively or simultaneously it is possible that underlying ''*uwwV/*wwuV'' give ''ugV/Vgu'' while ''*uwV/*Vwu'' give ''ubV/Vbu''. == Root structure == A Kijeb nominal or verbal root has the following structure: : {{big| (''s'') (C) (''r'') (''y'') V (D) C (''r'') (''y'') }} where : slots in parentheses are optional : '''V''' is any vowel (''a, i, u'') : '''C''' is any consonant : '''D''' is any dental (''t/d, n, s, r'') There are some restrictions on possible phoneme sequences, including: * [[Wikipedia:Gemination|Geminate]]s do not occur. Thus e.g. if there is an ''s'' in a '''C''' slot there can be no ''s'' in the preceding '''s''' or '''D''' slot, resulting in an ''*ss'', and similarly no ''*rr, *ww, *yy, *tt. *dd, *nn''. * ''n'' + a nasal does not occur (no ''*nn, *nm, *nŋ''). * Labial + ''w'' does not occur. * None of ''*yi, *iy, *wu, *uw'' can occur. * Palatalization or ''y'' may occur either in the consonant(s) before the '''V''' or in the consonant(s) after the '''V''' or not at all, but not both before and after the '''V'''. * A cluster is either palatalized throughout or not at all. * In nominal and verbal roots :the same consonant may not occur twice, :no two stops or fricatives (other than ''s'') at the same point of articulation may occur within a single root, :no two nasals may occur within a single root. ::The nominal stems ''mama'' 'mother' and ''papa'' 'father' are the only known exceptions to these restrictions among nominal and verbal roots. In pronoun and determiner stems, on the other hand, shapes like ''tat, kak, nan, sas'' are allowed and even favored. (There is also the numeral stem ''sas'' 'one', but this may be a determiner in origin.) It may be that these stems were originally '''CV''' stems that became reduplicated. * Roots consisting only of '''VC''' are extremely rare. * Roots with a heavy cluster both before and after the '''V''' are rare. In order to function as a [[Wikipedia:Word stem|stem]] such a root must be followed by a vowel. In nouns (including adjectives) this second vowel is a random extension, while in verbs it is an inflectional morpheme. == Morphology == Unlike the daughter languages, which are [[Wikipedia:Split ergativity|split-ergative]], Kijeb is entirely [[Wikipedia:Nominative-accusative language|nominative-accusative]]. === Nominal morphology === ==== Grammatical cases ==== {{Bordertable|#fff}} ! || Singular || Animate plural || Inanimate plural |- ! Nominative | -Ø {{small|(unmarked)}} || ''-n'' || ''-r'' |- ! Accusative | ''-s'' || ''-ns'' || ''-rs'' |- ! Dative | ''-t'' || ''-nt'' || ''-rt'' |} (In the daughter languages the accusative is derived from ''*-si'' and the dative from ''*-tu''.) It is not certain that the inanimate plural accusative and dative were distinguished from the singular. In any case the [[Kijeb writing|Kijeb syllabary]] could not distinguish word-final ''-rs, -rt'' from word-final ''-s, -t'', while in the animate plural the diacritic for syllable-final ''-n'' could be added to ''CVs'' and ''CVt'' characters to indicate word-final ''-ns, -nt''. ==== Semantic cases ==== {{Sectionrewrite|User:Melroch/Kijeb cases}} {{Bordertable|#fff}} ! || Singular || Animate plural || Inanimate plural |- ! Locative | ''-tyu'' || ''-ntyu'' || ''-rtyu'' |- ! Allative | ''-sya'' || ''-nsya'' || ''-rsya'' |- ! Ablative | ''-yu'' || ''-nyu'' || ''-ryu'' |- ! Instrumental | ''-ri'' || ''-nri'' || ''-dri'' |} The ergative of the daughter languages derives from ''*-rya'' and is certainly derived from the instrumental. === Adverbs === ==== Local adverbs ==== Local adverbs are formed by adding local case endings to the three deictic roots proximal ''*i'' 'this', medial ''*a'' 'that' and distal ''*u'' 'yon'. {{Bordertable|#fff}} | ''ityu'' || 'here' || ''atyu'' || 'there' || ''utyu'' || 'yonder' |- | ''isya'' || 'to here' || ''asya'' || 'to there' || ''usya'' || 'to yonder' |- | ''igyu'' || 'from here' || ''ayu'' || 'from there' || ''uyu'' || 'from yonder' |} === Pronouns === Kijeb pronouns have several unique morphological characteristics. Most basic pronoun roots have the shape '''CV'''. Such a root cannot stand on its own, but attaches clitically to a noun or verb stem. A clitic pronoun functions as a possessive marker when attached to a noun and as a person agreement marker when attached to a verb. Free standing pronouns are emphatic, and are formed by reduplicating the '''CV''' root. Plural pronouns are formed either [[Wikipedia:Suppletion|suppletively]] or by [[Wikipedia:Infixation#Linguistics|infixation]] of the plural marker ''-n'' or ''-r'' between the syllables of the reduplicated '''CV''' root. For this reason plural emphatic pronouns take simple case markers ''-s, -t'' etc., thus the accusative of ''anda'' is ''andas'' rather than ''**anans'' or ''**andans''. ==== Personal and demonstrative pronouns ==== =====First and second person pronouns===== {{Bordertable|#fff}} ! ||colspan=3| Singular ||colspan=3| Plural (animate) |- ! || Clitic || Emphatic || || Clitic || Emphatic || |- !

Inanimate | ''-ru/-ur'' || 'it (not living' | ''-dru'' || 'they' |} =====Third person emphatic pronouns===== These are formed by compounding three deictic roots — proximal ''*i'' 'this', medial ''*a'' 'that' and distal ''*u'' 'yon' — with the third person pronominal stems. These deictic roots do not occur independently, although they are also used in [[Kijeb#Local_adverbs|local adverbs]], and neither are there any non-clitic third person pronouns not including these deictic stems. The plural forms are most readily explained as the result of reduplication of the root followed by [[wikipedia:syncope|syncope]] of the vowel of the second syllable and then [[wikipedia:dissimilation|dissimilation]] of the resulting geminate according to regular Kijeb [[Kijeb#Sandhi|sandhi]], e.g.: :''*ina > *inana > *in'na > inda'', ''*aru > *aruru > *ar'ru > adru''. {{Bordertable|#fff}} ! || Proximal | 'this/these' !

There is also a possessive version ''-ŋya'', e.g. ''tataŋya'' 'my own', ''anaŋya'' 'his own'. These clitics can also be attached to nouns, e.g. ''snupuŋi'' 'the man himself', ''snupuŋya'' 'the man's own'. 'Each other' is ''-ŋgi'' and 'each other's' is ''-ŋgya''. ==== Interrogative pronouns ==== {{Bordertable|#fff}} |colspan=2| ||colspan=3| Basic ||colspan=2| Possessive |- |colspan=2| || Emphatic || Clitic || || Emphatic || Clitic || |- | Animate || singular || ''gwigwi'' || ''-gwi'' ||'who?' || ''gwigwa'' || ''-gwa'' || "of whom?'' |- | || plural || ''gwiŋgwi'' || ''-ŋgwi'' || || ''gwiŋgwa'' || ''-ŋgwa'' |- | Inanimate || singular || ''gugu'' || ''-gu'' || 'what?, which?' || ''gugwa'' || ''-gwa'' || 'of what?, of which?' |- | || plural || ''gurgu'' || ''-rgu'' || || ''gurgwa'' || ''-rgwa'' |} Note that the clitic singular possessive is the same for animate and inanimate. There is no trace of them ever having been differentiated. ==== Indefinite pronouns ==== Indefinite pronouns are formed by adding the clitic ''-fu'' to the interrogatives: ''gwigifu'' 'someone' ''gugufu'' 'something'. This clitic can also be attached to nouns, e.g. ''snupufu'' 'some man'. === Verbs === {{Section wip}} <span class="red sans">This entire section needs reworking in view of my improved understanding of inverse marking and hierarchical alignment. In the meantime the following is largely obsolete!</span> ==== Finite verb forms ==== Verbs are inflected for [[Wikipedia:Grammatical aspect|aspect]], [[Wikipedia:Direct-inverse language|direct-inverse]], [[Wikipedia:Grammatical tense|tense]], [[Wikipedia:Grammatical mood|mood]] or [[Wikipedia:Grammatical voice|voice]] and [[Wikipedia:Grammatical person|person]], all of which are expressed as suffixes to the verb root. The buildup of the verb word is: : {{big|root - aspect - (direct-inverse) - (tense/mood/voice) - subject}} Items in parentheses meqn that that marker may be empty. In those cases the absence of a marker functions as a marker in itself. ==== Aspect ==== There are two aspects in Kijeb, viz. [[Wikipedia:Perfective aspect|perfective]], marked by ''-u-'', and [[Wikipedia:imperfective aspect|imperfective]] or non-perfective, marked by ''-i-''. ==== Inverseness ==== The inverse marker ''-s-/-z-'' signals that the subject of the verb is lower on the [[animacy hierarchy]] than the direct object. A verb that is not inverse is said to be direct, but there is no overt directness marker in Kijeb. ==== Tense and mood and voice ==== There are two tenses, present and past, and three moods, realis and [[Wikipedia:Irrealis moods|irrealis]] and imperative. However marking of tense and mood overlap, so that any given verb form is marked either for present tense ''-n-/-na-'', past tense ''-r-/-ri-'' or irrealis mood ''-t-/-s-/-z-''. A verb form marked for tense cannot be marked for mood, but is always realis, and a verb form marked for irrealis mood cannot be marked for tense, but can function as any tense. The irrealis performs such functions as future, subjunctive, optative and hortative. The only voice distinction in Kijeb is between non-imperative and imperative. The imperative is signalled by the absence of inverseness and tense/mood markers, and that the only person marking is an animate plural marker ''-n'' if the injunction is adressed to a group. An imperative can only be addressed to animate adressees. To express a 'command' or wish concerning inanimates the irrealis must be used. <!-- Examples: :{| border="0" | (1) || ''sab'' || ''-u'' || ''-Ø'' || ''-r'' || ''-na'' || ''-ru'' || ''-mi'' |- | || give || -PERF || -DIR || -PAST || -3.sg.masc. || -3.sg.inan. || -3.sg.fem. |- | ||colspan=8| ''saburnarumi''<br>'He had given it to her' |} :{| border="0" | (2) || ''sazb'' || ''-i'' || ''-Ø'' || ''-n'' || ''-ta'' || ''-ŋka'' |- | || see || -IMPF || -DIR || -PRES || -1.sg. || -3.pl.rat. |- | ||colspan=6| ''sazbintaŋka''<br>'I see/am seeing them' |} :{| border="0" | (3) || ''pant'' || ''-i'' || ''-s'' || ''-n'' || ''-ur'' || ''-ba'' |- | || hit || -IMPF || -INV || -PRES || -3.sg.inan. || -2.sg. |- | ||colspan=6| ''pantisnurba''<br>'It hits you' |} :{| border="0" | (4) || ''dirn'' || ''-u'' || ''-Ø'' || ''-t'' || ''-ur'' |- | || fall down || -PERF || -DIR || -IRREALIS || -3.sg.inan. |- | ||colspan=5| ''dirnutur''<br>'It will/might/should have fallen down' |} :{| border="0" | (5) || ''basn'' || ''-u'' || ''-Ø'' || ''-Ø'' || ''-n'' |- | || go out || -PERF || -DIR || -IMP || -PL |- | ||colspan=5| ''basnugi''<br>'Go out, you all!' |} The only constituents that are really 'optional' are object markers. The absence of the inversion marker is best seen as the presence of a zero directness marker, and the absence of a tense/mood marker is best seen as the presence of a zero imperative marker. Note that the third person singular inanimate ending takes the allomorph ''-ur'' when in subject position, except before plural agreement markers beginning in two consonants. ==== Sandhi in verb forms ==== The sequence of morphemes is often obscured by sandhi, giving rise to [[Wikipedia:Portmanteau#Portmanteau_morphemes|portmanteau morphemes]], e.g. {|border=1 cellpadding=6 class="gridtable" !| Underlying form || Surface form || Gloss |- | ''**pant-i-s-r-ru-n-ka'' || ''pantizdruŋka'' || 'It hit them' |- | ''**pant-i-s-r-r-ru-n-ka'' || ''pantisridruŋka'' || 'They (inanimate) hit (past) them' |- | ''**pant-i-s-n-r-ru-n-ka'' || ''pantizdruŋka'' || 'They (inanimate) hit (present) them' |- |''**sasb-i-Ø-t-n-na-ta'' || ''sazbizdata'' || 'the men will see me' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-t-ta'' || ''sazbista'' || 'I will/should/would/might/ see' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-n-na'' || ''sazbinda'' || 'He sees' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-n-n-na'' || ''sazbinanda'' || 'The men see' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-n-mi'' || ''sazbimbi'' || 'She sees' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-n-n-mi'' || ''sazbinambi'' || 'The women see' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-n-ŋu'' || ''sazbiŋgu'' || 'It (animate) sees' |- | ''**sasb-i-n-n-ŋu'' || ''sazbinaŋgu'' || 'They (animate) see' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-n-n-ka'' || ''sazbiŋka'' || 'The men and women see' |- | ''**sasb-i-Ø-r-n-na'' || ''sazbirda'' || 'The men saw' |} The past tense allomorph ''-ri-'' arises as a sandhi phenomenon when the past tense morpheme ''-r-'' is preceded by the inverseness marker ''-s-'' and followed by the inanimate plural subject marker ''-dru-'' (itself ultimately a sandhi of ''*-r-ru-''). Apparently the past-tense ''-r-'' which had come to stand between the two non-sonorant consonants ''s'' and ''d'' became realized as a syllabic {{IPA|[r̩]}} which then in turn resolved into {{IPA|[ri]}}. The ''-na-'' allomorph of the present tense morpheme on the other hand defies a purely phonetic explanation. It is clear however that it arises in order to prevent present forms with animate plural suffixes from becoming identical to present forms with animate singular suffixes. The irrealis allomorphs ''-s-'' and ''-z-'' arise when the irrealis marker is followed by a subject marker beginning in a dental stop (''**-t-t- > -s-t-'' and ''**-t-d- > **-d-d- > -z-d-''). It is not really possible to confuse them with the inverseness marker, since the latter always takes inanimate subject markers. --> === Infinite verb forms === ==== The infinitive or gerund ==== There is also an [[Wikipedia:Infinitive|infinitive]] or [[Wikipedia:Gerund|gerund]] stem formed by adding ''-a-'' to the verb root. By taking different case endings this stem can express various infinite functions. The infinitive/gerund marker itself is in complementary distribution with the aspect markers, but by adding case endings aspect relative to the main verb may be expressed. ==== Participles ==== Participles are verb forms inflected for aspect and tense/mood, but which take nominal number and case endings rather than person suffixes. Pariciples are used chiefly to form relative clauses, as there are no relative pronouns in Kijeb, and each sentence may have only one finite verb. Examples are ''sabura'' 'Having given', ''pantina'' 'hitting' and ''basnura'' 'gone out'. == Syntax == (Scattered notes so far) Word order is SOV, with everything that entails. The 'rational' plural gender is used for mixed masculine/feminine groups. The reason it isn't called 'human' is that it is used for gods, ghosts, demons and the like as well as for humans. Besides I'm not sure yet if the Sohlçan are human! There is no genitive case. The possessive construction is like this: :''giwri-t tyazgu-na-n'' king-DAT elephant-his-PL 'The king's elephants'. Negation is made with the auxiliary ''paxya'' 'not do', e.g. ''sazba paxintaŋka'' 'I don't see them'. This is quite possibly the main use of the infinitive/gerund! Do predicate nominals/adjectives require a copular verb or not? :If not will the verb ''una'' only mean 'be' or also 'exist', or not exist! {{-)}} It will probably be needed for other aspects/tenses than imperfective present. :Note the conflict with the pronoun ''una''! :Will ''ufa'' 'not be' be in complementary or partially alternating distribution with ''paxya'' 'not do'?

Comentary Conlanging is a game to help with situations like this. <br /> <br />'''Disclaimer: The words chosen and their meanings are in the view of the author and are by no means reflective on frathwiki, conlangers, or humanity as a whole. '''<br /> <br />This game has some fairly simple steps. # Note which phonemes are acceptible within your conlang. # Create a list of no more than ten words, names or [[acronyms]]. # Come up with a metaphoric discription, or commentary on each of the words. # Break the words up into [[syllables]] according to the way you personally pronounce them. # Transcribe the syllables according to the [[phonolgy]] of your conlang. # ''Optional'' apply sound changes to the new words to further them from the words you based them on. == Examples == In the following examples I will skip step one, which can be inferred from my results if someone is interested.<br /> My list will be: *computer *nerd *enterprise *laser *FEMA *IRS Starting with computer. The definition of this particular device is obvious to you the reader(which is not the point of this game), but let's instead suppose someone thought it to mean, " Living Book". I pronounce computer, kəm-pu-tər. So then I would transcribe this as kumi-piu-tir, and in my suppossed conlang adjectives come after nouns so, kumi means "book", and piu means "to live" with tir turning the verb into an adjective. Polysyllabic words are fairly easy, but what do you do when the word has only one syllable as in "nerd". Well here you have a couple of options. You could look at the [[etymology]] of the word (knurd), treat it as an acronym (see below), or try to come up with a synonym that is also a single word. For nerd we will use knurd and I will define it as “overqualified for life”. I would pronounce it as kə-nərd and thus transcribe it as ki-nur-id. We already have life so we don't have to worry about that and you can just drop articles, so you are left with "overqualified". From there you have "ki-": over, and "nurid" qualified. Enterprise or In-it-irip-riash, means "a nerd's heaven". All we will use here is "riash" to mean heaven. But wait isn't nerd's heaven, "kinuridiriash" and not "initiripriash"? Yes and from this we can see a neat feature of this game. Your derived words should never naturally become the words they are derived from. On to acronyms, two are pronouncable like words (Yes, laser is an acronym.) and one that is only pronounable when the letters are said phoenetically. With acronyms you have an option when it can be said without phonetically saying its letters and that is to treat it as a word. The other is to treat the phoenetic letter as a syllable. [[Category:Conlanging culture]] Animacy Hierarchy 2179 24427 2007-08-11T15:16:21Z Melroch 31 The '''Animacy Hierarchy''' or '''Nominal Hierarchy''' is a scale of [[Wikipedia:Noun phrase|noun phrase]]s' relative [[Wikipedia:Animacy|animacy]] or capability to function as [[Wikipedia:Agent (grammar)|agent]] of a sentence. Categories higher in the hierarchy are more animate/agental and categories lower in the hierarchy are less animate/agental: : first person, second person : third person : personal name/kin term : human : animate : inanimate In languages with split ergativity categories towards the top of the hierarchy are most likely to have nominative- accusative case marking while items towards the bottom are most likely to have ergative-absolutive case marking. Again there are no known languages that violate the hierarchy, i.e. having ergative-absolutive marking on first/secondperson pronouns and nominative- accusative marking on inanimates. Languages differ with regard to where in the hierarchy they draw the border, but they do not violate the hierarchy.

There is evidence that there existed other writings in Kijeb language and script, since [[Sohlçan]] grammarians mention finds of pottery with Kijeb inscriptions in ancient graves. It seems clear however that with few exceptions the preserved Kijeb texts derive from the area where [[Sohlob languages|Kidilib]] was spoken in classical times. [[Image:Kijeblogograms.gif|thumb|100px|left|The two logograms used in Kijeb writing]] The Kijeb syllabary is partly defective in that it ignores the distinction between voiced and voiceless stops, between the stops /p/ and /k/ and their fricative counterparts /f/ and /x/, and in the oldest inscriptions also the distinction between palatalized and unpalatalized consonants, and between velar and labiovelar consonants.

Please keep the Portuguese text also. =Introduction - Introdução= Esperanto V.2 (This name may change) is a project to create a new language for global communication. It is a language constructed by many people from all around the world. This is a project in progress. Join us at orkut: http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=9744132 ! ''Esperanto V.2 (Este nome pode mudar) é um projeto para criar uma nova lingua para comunicação global. É uma língua construida por muitas pessoas em todo o mundo.'' ''Este é um projeto em construção. Junte-se a nós no orkut : http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=9744132 !'' =Alphabet - Alfabeto= Esperanto V.2 has: ''Esperanto V.2 tem:'' 5 vowels: a, e, i, o, u ''5 vogals: a, e, i, o, u'' 13 Consonants: f, h, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, w, x, y. ''13 Consoants: f, h, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, w, x, y.'' Their sounds are like in Esperanto, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, etc. ''Seus sons são como no esperanto, português, espanhol, italiano, etc.'' Names of the Letters: ''Nome das letras'' A, a - a E, e - e F, f - ef H, h - ihi I, i - i K, k - ka L, l - el M, m - em N, n - en O, o - o P, p - pe R, r - re (rrre) S, s - es T, t - te U, u - u W, w - wa X, x - xe Y, y - ya =Word stress - Tonicidade das palavras= The same system will be used as for Esperanto; that is, the stress will always be on the penultimate syllable, without exception. ''Será utilizado o mesmo sistema do esperanto; ou seja a tonicidade será sempre na penúltima silaba sem exceções.'' =Sentence Terms - Termos da Oração= Esp.V.2 will use sentences terms (subject, verb, and object) in two orders: SVO (without particle) and SOV (with particle) This arrangement embraces 90% of the world population. VOS will not be used in order to avoid complication. When one wants to use SOV he/she needs to use the particle ''wa'' after the subject. Ex: SVO - The boy saw the duck SOV - The boy ''wa'' the duck saw Both are correct. ''O esp.v.2 usará os termos da oração (Sujeito, verbo e objeto) dispostos em duas formas:'' ''O SVO (sem particula) e SOV (Com partícula).'' ''Pelo motivo que; a ulilização destes dois sistema abrange em torno de 90% da população mundial e diminui a complexidade de uso de particulas utilizando outros sistemas como o VOS.'' ''O SOV utiliza a partícula wa após o sujeito para indica-lo.'' Assim, temos como exemplo: SVO – O menino viu o pato SOV - O menino wa o pato viu =Article - Artigo= There will be no article. See the Russian language, for instance, or Chinese. Both have no article. So we can communicate without articles too, and remain understandable. Using articles is a habit which we have from our native language. It is part of the linguistic structures which we consider essential just because we are used to them, but if we think better we will see that we don't need them. ''Artigo é dispensável.'' ''Veja em língua russa ou em língua chinesa. Ambas dispensam uso de artigo. E nós podemos nos comunicar sem usar nenhum artigo também, continuando inteligíveis. Usar artigo é hábito que temos por falarmos português. Faz parte de estruturas linguísticas que consideramos essenciais apenas porque nos acostumamos a elas. Mas, se analisarmos friamente, são dispensáveis.'' =Noun - Substantivo= The noun is not inflected for gender or number. • For some concepts we can have different words differing between genders, such as Father and Mother. These concepts are primitive (not derived from more fundamental ones). • Nevertheless, to differentiate between a male professor and a female professor with the use of inflexion is superfluous. See English - it's just "teacher". • Words for things do not need to have gender. Table, house, moon, lake, sun, bank - don't need to be masculine, feminine, or neuter. • The genders should be neutral when they are not necessary for the topic. An ending indicating gender is added for these. O substantivo não se flexiona nem em gênero nem em número. • Para alguns conceitos podemos ter palavras diferentes diferindo entre gêneros, como Pai e Mãe. Esses conceitos são primitivos (no sentido de mais fundamentais). • No entanto, diferenciar entre professor e professora com o uso de flexão é supérfluo. Veja o inglês - é tudo "teacher". • As coisas não precisam ter sexo. Mesa, casa, lua, lago, sol, banco - não precisam ser palavras masculinas, nem femininas e nem neutras. • Os gêneros devem ser neutros a não ser que eles sejam necessários para o assunto. Ai se coloca uma terminação indicativa de sexo. =Adjective - Adjetivo= Adjectives are invariable; in other words, they do not inflect for gender or number. São invariáveis, ou seja, não se flexionam nem em gênero nem em número. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx translation until here xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =Bibliografia= Esperanto – www.lernu.org IDO - www.idolinguo.com Phonology - Designing an Artificial Language - Copyright © 1991, 1994, 1998 by Richard A.

Unmarked stress falls as follows: * If the word ends in a vowel or '''n''', stress falls on the penultimate syllable, e.g. '''parlare''' [parˈlare]. * Otherwise, stress falls on the ultimate syllable. ===Allophony=== There are three main allophonic variations that occur in spoken Carune: * word-final /a/ is realized as [{{IPA|ǝ}}] in polysyllabic words where it is unstressed, e.g. '''vita''' "life" /ˈvita/ realized as [ˈvitǝ] * intervocalic /s/ is often realized as [z], e.g. '''usare''' "use" /uˈsar{{IPA|ɛ}}/ realized as [uˈzar{{IPA|ɛ}}] * intervocalic /ts/ is generally realized as [dz], e.g. '''sezi''' "sixteen" /s{{IPA|ɛ}}tsi/ realized as [s{{IPA|ɛ}}dzi] It should also be noted that word-final -'''e''' often elides when unstressed, especially before a vowel.

As far as I understood it, Parseltongue is a language consisting entirely of the kind of hisses snakes utter naturally, and not phonetically human-like. --[[User:WeepingElf|WeepingElf]] 09:55, 10 April 2006 (PDT) :Yes, that is pretty much exactly how it is depicted in the movies. So I don't think 'no known form' is entirely right. Anyway, since the other language described on this page is ''not'' Parseltongue, it should probably be moved to [[Parseltongue-inspired]] or [[Fispa]]. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 03:57, 11 April 2006 (PDT) Parseltongue-inspired 2210 49345 2009-09-23T20:08:05Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Verbs */ {{Infobox|name=Parseltongue-inspired (Fispa)|pronounce=ˈfispa:|tu=''Harry Potter'' world|species=Ophidic<br/>(snakes and snake-likes)|in=All over the HP world|no=''unknown''|script=''n.a.''|tree=Isolate|morph=Inflecting|ms=Accusative|wo=SOV|creator=[[User:Denihilonihil|Eugene Oh]]|date=July 2005}} The '''Parseltongue''' referred to in this article refers to '''Parseltongue-inspired''', a hypothetical form of [[J.K. Rowling]]'s [[Parseltongue]]. Because the tongue has no written form, the text samples appearing hereafter are in romanised form. This language is an inflecting accusative language with a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== Being a language spoken by snakes and the like, Parseltongue, while having the complete basic plosive repertoire ({{IPA|[p]/[b] [t]/[d], [k]/[g]}}), is rich in sibilants and other fricatives, which occur at a far higher frequency. Plosives also assimilate frequently to neighbouring fricatives or sonorants. <br/> <div style="margin-left:50px;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=13 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiodental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || {{IPA|n}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || {{IPA|s}} || || {{IPA|ʃ}} || || || || {{IPA|h}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || {{IPA|ts}} || {{IPA|dz}} || || {{IPA|tʃ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || {{IPA|ʍ}} || {{IPA|w}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} </div> ====Assimilation==== Due to the inherent tendency of snakes (and hence their human inheritors of Parsetongue) to fricativise sounds, plosives commonly assimilate to neighbouring continuants (including aspirate stops), even across word boundaries, except where plosives are geminate. Regressive assimilation is the most common, and changes of the following types have been observed: *{{IPA|[p]}} + ''fricative'' = labialised fricative (''e.g.'' '''pf''' = '''f<sup>w</sup>''') except /ps/ > [ps] *{{IPA|[b]}} + ''fricative'' = {{IPA|[v]}} + voiced fricative (''e.g.'' '''bth''' = '''vð''') **Occasionally, complete assimilation occurs, e.g. '''vð''' becomes '''ðð'''. *{{IPA|[t]}} + ''fricative'' = geminate fricative *{{IPA|[d]}} + ''fricative'' = geminate voice fricative *{{IPA|[k]}} + ''fricative'' = {{IPA|[x]}} + fricative = geminate fricative in certain cases When followed by a {{IPA|[h]}}, whether or not separated by a vowel or diphthong, plosives are aspirated, eliding the {{IPA|[h]}}, and in some progressive dialects fricativise. *E.g. {{IPA|[t]}} + {{IPA|[h]}} = {{IPA|[tʰ]}} or {{IPA|[θ]}} The velar plosives exhibit a slightly irregular pattern of fricativisation, and examples as illustrated below have been noted: *{{IPA|[k/k]}} (i.e. across word boundaries) = {{IPA|[χ]}} *{{IPA|[g]}} is frequently elided With sonorants, devoicing frequently occurs before a fricative: *{{IPA|[m]}} + {{IPA|[h]}} = ''devoiced '''m''''' *{{IPA|[r]}} + {{IPA|[h]}} = ''devoiced '''r''''' or {{IPA|[hr]}} *{{IPA|[l]}} + {{IPA|[h]}} = ''devoiced '''l''''' or {{IPA|[hl]}} **{{IPA|[l]}} + ''fricative'' sometimes causes the {{IPA|[l]}} to vocalise to an {{IPA|[u]}} Frequently, intervocalic {{IPA|[h]}} is elided. In the construction of the past tense (''see also [[#Verbs|Verbs]] below''), assimilation takes place regularly with consonant-stem verbs. In the text example provided [[#Example passage|below]], the past tense of "to like" is ''hinneis''; the stem of the verb is actually ''hil-'', but with the adding of the past tense suffix ''-n-'', the ''-l-'' of the stem completely assimilates, resulting in a geminate ''nn''. {{Seealso|#Diphthongs}} ===Vowels=== Parseltongue vowels are generally ''voiceless'', unless preceded or followed by a nasal({{IPA|[m]}}, {{IPA|[n]}}) or liquid ({{IPA|[r]}}, {{IPA|[l]}}). They also have phonemic length, but the distinction is not usually made as speakers generally lengthen and shorten vowels at will, or elide them; only lengthening is substantially common, however, given the tendency of Parseltongue speakers to speak slowly. Occasionally, when two identical vowels occur consecutively (which happens only when they are across a word boundary or when an intermediate consonant, usually {{IPA|[h]}}, has been elided), the resulting sound may be four times as long as normally due to such arbitrary lengthening. ====Monophthongs==== <div style="margin-left:50px;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=9 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || || || || || || {{IPA|ɯ}} || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || {{IPA|e}} || || || || || {{IPA|o}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> The above table shows the phonemic vowels in Parseltongue. Among them, {{IPA|[e]}} and {{IPA|[o]}} have allophones of {{IPA|[ɛ]}} and {{IPA|[ɔ]}} respectively. ====Diphthongs==== Historically, Parseltongue had four diphthongs, {{IPA|[ai]}}, {{IPA|[ei]}}, {{IPA|[ao]}} and {{IPA|[au]}}. In modern times, only {{IPA|[ai]}} has remained unchanged over the years, while {{IPA|[ei]}} has become {{IPA|[e:]}}, {{IPA|[au]}} has become {{IPA|[o:]}} and {{IPA|[ao]}} has taken the place of {{IPA|[au]}}, leaving only two. Diphthongs, like monophthongs, can also be lengthened, albeit in their case only for the first component vowel. For example, when {{IPA|[ai]}} is so lengthened, the resulting sound combination (no longer a diphthong, but two separate syllables) is {{IPA|[a:.i]}}. Arbitrary lengthening sometimes also alters the quality of Parseltongue diphthongs, when the next vowel (irrespective of whether there is an intervening consonant) is identical to the second component in the diphthong. E.g. ''arsiæ hinneis'' "my sister liked" {{IPA|[ar.si.ˈai ˈhin.ne:s]}} (two words) > {{IPA|ar.si.ˈa:i ˈhi.ne:s]}} (two words) > {{IPA|ar.si.ˈa:.hi.ne:s]}} (as though one word). ==Orthography== ===Alphabet=== Parseltongue, having no native script, is romanised with English consonants and Italian vowels. Vowels that cannot be reduced or elided are marked with an acute accent ( ́), while stress is normally unmarked. In the rare cases where a vowel is prohibited from arbitrary lengthening, a breve is used to mark the vowel. The full alphabet of 22 letters used to romanise Parseltongue is as follows (sounds in IPA): {|style="margin-left: 50px; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 ! Letter || Sound || Letter || Sound || Digraph || Sound |- | Aa || {{IPA|a}} || Mm || {{IPA|m}} || Ai || {{IPA|ai}} |- | Ææ || {{IPA|ai}} || Nn || {{IPA|n}} || Ao || {{IPA|au}} |- | Bb || {{IPA|b}} || Oo || {{IPA|o}} || Au || {{IPA|o:}} |- | Dd || {{IPA|d}} || Pp || {{IPA|p}} || Br{{footnote|2}} || {{IPA|bɯr}} |- | Ee || {{IPA|e}} || Rr || {{IPA|r}} || Ch || {{IPA|tʃ}} |- | Ff || {{IPA|f}} || Ss || {{IPA|s}} || Ei || {{IPA|e:}} |- | Gg || {{IPA|g}} || Tt || {{IPA|t}} || Hw || {{IPA|ʍ}} |- | Hh || {{IPA|h}} || Uu || {{IPA|u}} || Sh || {{IPA|ʃ}} |- | Ii || {{IPA|i}} || Vv || {{IPA|v}} || Ts || {{IPA|ts}} |- | Kk || {{IPA|k}} || Ww || {{IPA|w}} |- | Ll || {{IPA|l}} || Yy{{footnote|1}} || {{IPA|ɯ}} |} {{footnote|1}} If, when {{IPA|[ɯ]}} elides in everyday speech, the preceding plosive is immediately followed by a fricative, assimilation takes place. When voiced plosives are followed by {{IPA|[h]}}, they are aspirated, e.g. ''dy hí'' "and who-ACC" {{IPA|[dɯhi]}} > {{IPA|[dhi]}} > {{IPA|[dʰi]}}. {{footnote|2}} Historic {{IPA|[r̩]}} unpacked itself to become {{IPA|[ɯr]}}. When followed by a vowel, {{IPA|[ɯ]}} elides and the digraph becomes the consonant cluster {{IPA|[br]}}. ===History=== ::''A fictional history involving J. K. Rowling's magical world in the'' Harry Potter ''series'' Romanisation of Parseltongue for writing was first done by English wizards in the 17th century, by the principle of having, as far as possible, one letter to one sound without using letters outside the basic Roman alphabet or extraneous diacritics. There is one odd extra letter, &lt;æ&gt;, adopted from the Icelandic alphabet, to represent the diphthong {{IPA|[ai]}}, but only where it denotes the first person genitive case (e.g. ''arsi'', sister; ''arsiæ'', my sister), the first-person verb ending (''-æ''), or the third-person masculine one (''-æs''). Besides the logically understandable diphthongs, digraphs are historically explicable: *'''ch''' and '''sh''' were written as in English *'''ts''' was adopted from romanisation of Greek and Russian ==Grammar== ===Word order=== Basic Parseltongue word order is [[Subject Object Verb]], i.e. ''Sam eats oranges'' would be, literally translated, "Sam oranges eats", although, unlike most SOV languages, it makes use of pre- instead of postpositions. Modifiers, including genitives, precede head nouns and verbs; more generally, subordinate clauses precede the particles that mark them, e.g. where English would have ''I thought that he was dead'' Parseltongue would say ''he was-dead that I-thought''. In that same vein, verbs precede their auxiliaries, going by the logic that, for example, the progressive verb "is driving" is a type of progressive aspect ('' to be -ing'') instead of a type of driving, since the verb inflection behaves according to the auxiliary. ===Nouns=== Parseltongue does not mark nouns for gender or number, and, consequently, neither do adjectives, although the historical loss of such inflection has not occurred with pronouns, which survive in fossilised forms today, much as in English ''(see [[#Pronouns]] below)''. Inflection does survive in the case system, however, albeit barely, distinguishing the common, genitive and ablative cases (these latter also undergoing attrition). As with gender and number distinctions, pronouns have fossilised other once-marked cases like the dative (though not the locative) and the accusative. ====Declension==== Historically, Parseltongue had three noun declension systems for masculine, feminine and neuter nouns, each of which exhibited a fair degree of variation depending on the ending of the noun stem, through processes such as assimilation to achieve homophony. Later systematic analogical readjustments and phonetic attrition, however, served to level out the differences between the various case endings within genders (including the plural), spreading across genders as well. This resulted in the gradual fudging of the boundaries between different gender categories, culminating in their eventual loss, and the stabilisation of the one remaining declension paradigm today. =====Common case===== The common case is used, with the appropriate particles or prepositions in Parseltongue for the nominative, accusative, dative, locative, instrumental and vocative cases (the surviving genitive and ablative cases are discussed below), and is the basic form of the noun. =====Genitive case===== The genitive case marker, originally ''-VtV'', where ''V'' stands for a vowel homophonous in rounding and height with the last or predominant vowel in the stem, has gradually simplified to the near-clitic case marker ''-ti'' widespread today (ignoring subsequent phonological processes that change the ending further). =====Ablative case===== The ablative case has survived in its original form (''-igo'' or ''-ego'' depending on the height of the stem's dominant or last vowel) due to the analogy with the ablative case in the pronouns, although the general tendency is, now, to standardise both to ''-ego''. Besides being used for expressing movement away from and relation to (like the english words "concerning" or "about"), the ablative is also used to mark the standard of comparison with comparative adjectives: "him" in ''taller than him'' is marked ablatively ''(see also [[#Comparative adjectives]] below). ====Pronouns==== =====Personal pronouns===== As in English, gender in pronouns is only marked with the third-person, but unlike it Parseltongue marks the third-person plural as well, and compounds the gender endings to indicate that a group consists of more than one gender. (pronoun paradigm here) =====Demonstrative and relative pronouns===== The demonstrative and relative pronouns in Parseltongue are relatively simply constructed, inflecting for only 2 cases each, possibly due to the fact that the demonstratives are omitted in most cases where they are concomitant with the noun to which they refer, and the relatives (a relatively modern invention through contact with English, an SVO language) can be omitted as well by placing the modifying verbs before them (e.g. ''shēsin takím arsiæ hinneis'' "that-one whom my-sister liked" is usually said as ''arsiæ hinneis shēsin'' in the mould of other SOV languages. <br/> {|style="margin-left: 50px; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%;" !colspan=3| Demonstrative Pronouns |- !style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 50%" colspan=2| English ||style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 50%"| Parseltongue |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| This ||style="text-align: center;"| com.{{footnote|1}} ||style="text-align: center;"| Tasin |- |style="text-align: center;"| abl.{{footnote|2}} ||style="text-align: center;"| Tadego |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| That ||style="text-align: center;"| com. ||style="text-align: center;"| Shēsin |- |style="text-align: center;"| abl. ||style="text-align: center;"| Shedego |} <br/> {|style="margin-left: 50px; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%;" !colspan=3| Relative Pronouns{{footnote|3}} |- !style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 50%" colspan=2| English ||style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 50%"| Parseltongue |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| Who ||style="text-align: center;"| nom.{{footnote|4}} ||style="text-align: center;"| Takēm |- |style="text-align: center;"| acc.{{footnote|5}} ||style="text-align: center;"| Takím |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| Which ||style="text-align: center;"| nom. ||style="text-align: center;"| Nadēm |- |style="text-align: center;"| acc. ||style="text-align: center;"| Nadím |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| When ||style="text-align: center;"| nom. ||style="text-align: center;"| Hásēm |- |style="text-align: center;"| acc. ||style="text-align: center;"| Hásim |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| Where ||style="text-align: center;"| nom. ||style="text-align: center;"| Húdēm |- |style="text-align: center;"| acc. ||style="text-align: center;"| Húdim |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| Whose ||style="text-align: center;"| nom. ||style="text-align: center;"| Hidēm |- |style="text-align: center;"| acc. ||style="text-align: center;"| Hidím |- |style="text-align: center;" rowspan=2| How ||style="text-align: center;"| nom. ||style="text-align: center;"| Horēm |- |style="text-align: center;"| acc. ||style="text-align: center;"| Hórim |} {{footnote|1}} Common case<br/> {{footnote|2}} Ablative case<br/> {{footnote|3}} Relative pronouns, with the exceptions of ''who'' and ''which'', are formed directly from the corresponding interrogatives.<br/> {{footnote|4}} Nominative case<br/> {{footnote|5}} Accusative case <br/> =====Interrogative pronouns===== The interrogative pronouns are distinct from the relative pronouns, unlike in English, and, because of their nature as being only interrogative, are invariable. All Parseltongue interrogatives begin with a ''h'' (which in certain dialects has undergone regular fortition to {{IPA|[s]}}). <br/> {|style="margin-left: 50px; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%;" !style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 50%"| Parseltongue ||style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 50%"| English |- |style="text-align: center;"| Hí ||style="text-align: center;"| Who |- |style="text-align: center;"| Hē ||style="text-align: center;"| What |- |style="text-align: center;"| Hás ||style="text-align: center;"| When |- |style="text-align: center;"| Hán ||style="text-align: center;"| Why |- |style="text-align: center;"| Hút ||style="text-align: center;"| Where |- |style="text-align: center;"| Hití ||style="text-align: center;"| Whose |- |style="text-align: center;"| Hór ||style="text-align: center;"| How |} ===Adjectives & adverbs=== Adjectives in Parseltongue are not distinctly marked, but a large number end in ''-t-'' plus a vowel, being descended from earlier genitive constructions. E.g. "a green apple" would literally be translated as "an apple of green", or ''epsa marhata'' {{IPA|['e:psa: ma'r̥a:ta]}}. Adjectives can be placed either before or after the noun they modify without changing the meaning of the phrase. Similarly, there is no distinctive marking for adverbs, and no restriction on their syntax. Adverbs formed from adjectives generally are identical to the original adjective. ===Verbs=== Parseltongue verbs are marked for the imperative mood, present and past tenses and a progressive aspect. The future tense, conditional mood and perfect aspect are expressed through periphrasis. All tenses, aspects and moods (TAM) are marked independently, i.e. if a verb is marked for progressive aspect it will not take tense markers, and vice versa. Context will generally provide clues as to which is meant. For each aspect, mood and tense, Parseltongue distinguishes morphologically the 1st person singular and plural, 2nd person singular and plural, as well as 3rd person masculine singular, 3rd person feminine singular and 3rd person plural. These person-markers are appended after the appropriate TAM markers in an agglutinative fashion. The verb ''psas'' "to stop" is conjugated below as an example. *'''Present tense:''' ''psæ'', ''psaú'', ''psas'', ''psais''; ''psātha'', ''psāhe'', ''psāna''<br>for ''I stop, thou stoppest, he stops, she stops; we stop, you stop, they stop" *'''Past tense:''' ''psanæ'', ''psanú'', ''psanas'', ''psanais''; ''psanātha'', ''psanāhe'', ''psanāna'' *'''Progressive aspect:''' ''psāræ'', ''psārú'', ''psāras'', ''psārais''; ''psārātha'', ''psārāhe'', ''psārāna'' *'''Imperative:''' ''psā!'' *'''Future tense:''' ''am psæ'', etc. *'''Conditional mood:''' ''lehau psæ'' [l̥eo: psa:i], etc. *'''Perfect aspect:''' ''psalos hetæ'', etc. ====Irregular verbs==== There are very few irregular verbs in Parseltongue, the most commonly used of which are ''fāna'' "to be" and ''kāna'' "to live". Their conjugations are as follows: '''Fāna''' *'''Present tense:''' ''fi'', ''fú'', ''fia'', ''fais''; ''fitha'', ''fahe'', ''fāna''<br>for ''I am, thou art, he is, she is; we are, you are, they are" *'''Past tense:''' ''fani'', ''fanú'', ''fania'', ''fanais''; ''fanātha'', ''fanāhe'', ''fanāna'' *'''Progressive aspect:''' ''fiæ'', ''fiú'', ''fias'', ''fiais''; ''fiātha'', ''fiāhe'', ''fiāna'' *'''Imperative:''' ''fē!'' *'''Future tense:''' ''am fi'', etc. *'''Conditional mood:''' ''lehau fi'' [l̥eo: fi:], etc. *'''Perfect aspect:''' ''falos hetæ'', etc. '''Kāna''' *'''Present tense:''' ''kæ'', ''kú'', ''kæs'', ''kais''; ''kātha'', ''kāhe'', ''kānæ''<br>for ''I stop, thou stoppest, he stops, she stops; we stop, you stop, they stop" *'''Past tense:''' ''kanæ'', ''kanú'', ''kanæs'', ''kanais''; ''kanātha'', ''kanāhe'', ''ksanānæ'' *'''Progressive aspect:''' ''kiæ'', ''kiú'', ''kiæs'', ''kiais''; ''kiātha'', ''kiāhe'', ''kiānæ'' *'''Imperative:''' ''kā!'' *'''Future tense:''' ''am kæ'', etc. *'''Conditional mood:''' ''lehau kæ'' [l̥eo: ka:i], etc. *'''Perfect aspect:''' ''kalos hetæ'', etc. ==Example passage== The following example passage of Parseltongue is a translation of the Parseltongue dialogue between Tom Marvolo Riddle and Morfin, recorded in English in ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'', pp.341-2: {|style="background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 100%;" !style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 35%"| English ||style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 35%"| Parseltongue ||style="background: #dfdfdf; width: 30%"| Phonetic transcription |- |style="padding-right: 8px;"| “Stop.” “You speak it?” “Yes, I speak it.

Both families, and perhaps a few others, form the larger [[Europic]] language family. ==The Hesperic hypothesis== The idea behind the Hesperic hypothesis is that the spread of agriculture in Neolithic central Europe was connected with the spread of a language family related to [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]]. Most archaeologists assume that the spread of agriculture in Central Europe was ''demic'', i. e. connected with substantial migrations of farming people into areas previously occupied by hunter-gatherer populations which were absorbed into the new society. This would also mean that new languages arrived in the area. The Proto-Hesperic language would have been the language of the [[Wikipedia:Linear Pottery culture|Linear Pottery culture]]. ===A Black Sea Flood?=== A controversial matter among geologists and archaeologists is the '[[Wikipedia:Black Sea deluge theory|Black Sea Flood]]', which according to Walter Pitman and William Ryan happened about 8,000 years ago when the rising ocean reached the level of the Bosporus strait and the Black Sea, formerly a freshwater lake, became connected to the Mediterranean Sea. If this flood happened, [[Europic|Proto-Europic]], the common ancestor of Indo-European, Hesperic and [[Danubian]], could have been spoken in some of the area inundated in this event. ===The Starčevo culture=== The [[Wikipedia:Starčevo culture|Starčevo culture]] of the Balkan peninsula may have been the people who spoke [[Europic|Proto-Europic]] about 8,000 years ago. This was one of the first Neolithic cultures of Europe; from there, the Neolithic cultural package spread northwest into Central Europe and northeast into the Pontic steppe. ===The Linear Pottery, Funnel Beaker and Bell Beaker cultures=== The first Neolithic farmers of central Europe, the [[Wikipedia:Linear Pottery culture|Linear Pottery culture]], would have been the first speakers of Hesperic languages. They occupied an area which stretched from eastern France to western Ukraine. The [[Wikipedia:Funnel Beaker culture|Funnel Beaker]] and [[Wikipedia:Beaker culture|Bell Beaker]] cultures are Late Neolithic cultures which probably emerged from the Linear Pottery culture, spreading into southern Scandinavia and western Europe, respectively. The Bell Beaker culture would spread Hesperic languages to the western France, the British Isles, the Iberian peninsula and Italy. It is likely that the displacement of the Mesolithic languages was not complete but some of those languages survived. (At any rate, [[Basque]] and probably also [[Wikipedia:Etruscan language|Etruscan]] are not Hesperic.) ===The demise of the Hesperic family=== The Hesperic family reached its climax in the Early Bronze Age, when Hesperic languages were spoken in an area encompassing most of western and central Europe - about 2.5 million square kilometres inhabited by perhaps 5 million people (at that time a great number) - making Hesperic one of the great language families of Earth. Then, it was gradually obliterated by [[Indo-European languages]] which moved into central Europe from the east. By the year 500 BC, the whole formerly Hesperic-speaking area was occupied by Indo-European languages, though some isolated pockets of Hesperic languages may have survived longer, but eventually disappeared as well. ==The structure of Proto-Hesperic== Little can be said about the structure of Proto-Hesperic. The vocalism of the [[Old European hydronymy]] seems to indicate that Proto-Hesperic had three vowels - */a/, */i/ and */u/, of which */a/ was the most frequent. This is likely to be a continuation of the Proto-Europic state of affairs, as such a system appears to have been in place in the pre-ablaut stage of PIE. The consonant inventory may have been like that of PIE as reconstructed by the [[Wikipedia:Glottalic theory|glottalic theory]], but the glottalized stops probably already had lost their glottalization, with the voiceless unglottalized stops being aspirated. Even less can be said about the morphosyntactic structure of Proto-Hesperic; if, as appears likely from [[Wikipedia:Internal reconstruction|internal reconstruction]] in PIE, Proto-Europic was an [[Wikipedia:Active–stative language|active-stative language]], Proto-Hesperic could have been such a language as well, but that is uncertain - after all, PIE ''did'' change into an [[Wikipedia:Nominative–accusative language|accusative language]]. ==Hesperic conlangs== {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=50% class="bordertable" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; font-size: 95%; float: right;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCFF00" align="center" |'''Hesperic''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||Europe |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||[[League of Lost Languages]] |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: || |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||'''Hesperic''' :[[Albic]] :further languages on the continent |- |valign="top"|[[Basic word order]]: ||varies |- |valign="top"|[[Morphological type]]: ||varies |- |valign="top"|[[Morphosyntactic alignment]]: ||varies |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCFF00" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||[[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] || 2000- |} [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]]'s interest in the Hesperic family has a second side: he speculatively re-creates some of these languages in the framework of the [[League of Lost Languages]], expanding upon the meagre evidence we have at our disposal, as conlangs. So far, he concentrates on the [[Albic]] languages, a branch of Hesperic spoken in the British Isles by the [[British Elves]], who form a branch of the Bell Beaker culture.

FrathWiki talk:Naming conventions 2218 8409 2006-04-15T13:31:25Z Muke 1 I like this...the convention we follow on the Althistory wiki is to label them like: :Mars :Mars (Red Mars Trilogy) :Mars (Kurt Vonnegut) maybe something like that? We could then make that similar, thus, :Mylshaemilür :Mylshaemilür (Grammar) :Mylshaemilür (Vocabulary) Comments? [[User:BoArthur|BoArthur]] 22:18, 14 April 2006 (PDT) :That is probably better, to use the wiki software's built-in features about parentheses (the <nowiki>[[</nowiki>xx (yy)|]] link). At least, for things like [[Mars (Kurt Vonnegut)]]. But, I am not sure that [[Mylshaemilür (Grammar)]] is in the same spirit. On Wikipedia subtopics like that get ordinary names ([[Spanish grammar]], [[History of Chile]]) which seems to make for more natural linking.

Kulumaku 2220 29131 2008-02-17T20:05:27Z Melroch 31 Added Category:Conlang [[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] Tulumaku is a pidgin conlang with easy phonology and simple grammar. It is designed for ease of use with almost no grammar learning required except that of word learning. The name, Tulumaku is from the Tolomako language, which is supposedly easy to learn from Papua New Guinea. == Phonology | Ka Ma Tunu == Like many Polynesian languages, Tulumaku follow's a strict (C)(V) structure. 'a 'i 'u ka ki ku la li lu ma mi mu na ni nu pa pi pu ta ti [tsi] tu wa wi ya yu *a [a] *i [i] *u [u] *' [ʔ] *k [k] *l [l or r] *m [m] *n [n] *p [p] *t [t] *w [w] *y [j] == Grammar | Ka Wiyalika == Tulumaku's grammar is quite easy. Word order is normally VSO, but can be made as VOS. <b>`Aluwa ka wana `i laki.</b> love - ka woman - 'i man. The woman loves the man. Stative nouns usually are preceded with the subject particle '<b>ka</b>' except with pronouns. Object nouns are shown by '<b>`i</b>'. Adjectives always follow the noun, and adverbs follow verbs. Tenses do not exist, and instead are modified using adverbs, or by context. <b>'a</b> serves as the directive particle, going to something or for something. <b>nouns and stative sentences</b> The sky is <i>blue</i>. <b><i>Kikulani</i> ka lani.</b> <b>adjectives</b> Love is a <i>holy</i> way. <b>Wiya <i>tapu</i> ka `aluwa.</b> <b>adverbs</b> I will eat <i>tomorrow</i>. <b>Kumi <i>mani`a</i> ku.</b> == Pater Noster == Papa maku Ki `ula `a lani, Tapu ka nama tu.

It is home to such familiar places as the United States and the United Kingdom, and new oddities such as [[Khombu (nation)|Khombu]], [[K'uanu]], and [[Futozi (nation)|Futozi]]. ==History== The history of Terra Nova is quite similar to that of our Earth until the mid-1300s. At this point, the Italian states that are in our world called Lombardy, Liguria, Piedmont, and Valle d'Aosta, together with a bit of southern Switzerland and the French province of Rhone-Alps, declared their independence as the sovereign state of [[Carune (nation)|Carune]]. This sparked some difficulties internationally, including a war that briefly distracted Europe from its crusades in the Holy Land. Carune emerged victorious, and that seemed to be the end of that. The next divergence is in the early 1500s, when European powers began their journeys to colonize Africa and the Americas. Carune, being ambitious, naturally set out to secure colonies in Africa. Traveling around the coast of Africa, Carune explorers reached a small archipelago off the African coast, the [[Futozi (nation)|Futozi islands]], inhabited by a peaceful tribe. It was perfect, and soon a thriving economy grew up around the "capital" village of Miyuzi (Meiuzium, in Carune). This would be Carune's only colony, but it served them well. A small archipelago in the Indian ocean called [[K'uanu]] would be colonized by the British, and these islands would later play an important role in world politics. The nation of [[Khombu (nation)|Khombu]] was never colonized, but gained ties to some of the middle-eastern nations through European influence. In 1903, as Europe became a battleground, Futozi declared its independence from Carune, and Carune was forced to let it go. However, Futozi remained closely affiliated with Carune, and, when World War I broke out, served as an important staging point for military operations in Africa. When this World War I ended, Carune became the voice of the smaller nations in the council that determined the fate of Germany, earning independence for Saudi Arabia, Khombu, and K'uanu. With these greatful countries as allies, Carune became a powerful voice in the League of Nations. In 1939, when Germany declared war on Poland, Carune began to fear for itself. Sure enough, the armies of Nazi Germany soon marched into Italy, and Carune's government fled from Torine to Miyuzi. Resistance efforts in Carune were strong, and by the time Allied soldiers arrived in Carune, the Resistatum di Carune had already secured Zergattum, with the help of the Swiss government (who in the end declared war on Germany). A broken Europe after the war needed strong leadership, and as Carune's economy skyrocketed, it soon became a powerful force in its vicinity. Carune became a founding member of the United Nations, and secured a position on the UN Security Council. Futozi, Khombu, and K'uanu set about forming an African model of the United Nations, though the African Union would take a long time to become a full reality. In 1975, Carune and Futozi co-launched a space station into orbit, and soon began training astronauts from such countries as Rwanda, Khombu, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. This show of international cooperation finally allowed the troubled nation of K'uanu entry into the UN, which it had been denied based on its government. In 2001, September 11 shocked the international community. Carune and Futozi were some of the few countries to speak out against some of the actions the United States took after that day. In 2002, a Futozi was elected chairman of the African Union. When the United States entered Iraq, Carune, along with France and the African Union, began a trade boycott against it. In 2006, the United States formally declared its withdrawl from the United Nations, claiming that it was no longer bound by international law. International protest was shocking, and some countries, Khombu and China included, even proposed military action against the United States. But this was the last straw for the American people. The President of the United States was impeached and sentenced to a period of jail time, and emergency elections were held, observed by the UN. In 2007, the United States' new government began plans to withdraw from Iraq, and re-entered such important treaties as the United Nations and the Geneva Convention. ==Nations of Alternate Earth== *[[K'uanu]]: an archipelago that just overthrew a corrupt government. *[[Khombu (nation)|Khombu]]: a republic with a more militaristic worldview. *[[Futozi (nation)|Futozi]]: an island nation run by a direct democracy. *[[Carune (nation)|Carune]]: a European nation run by a parliamentary democracy.

This nation depends greatly on tourism, especially skiers, as well as on mining and animal herding. However, the capital, Torine (Turin), as well as Milane (Milan) and Monze feature large computer industries, and Milane has become a world fashion center. The southern area of the country is also a haven for archaeologists seeking Roman ruins. Grenobela (Grenoble), in what is in our world France, Torine, Zergattum in our Switzerland, and Genova (Genoa), in our Italy have all hosted Olympic games at one time or another. The Carune flag has six colors: red, yellow, green, blue, white, and orange. Red and yellow represent Spain; Blue, white, and red represent France; Yellow, blue, and red represent Romania; green and red represent Portugal; and red, green, and white represent Italy, the major areas where Romance languages are spoken. Orange represents the sovereign nation of Carune. ==Carune History== {{Seealso|Alternate Earth}} In the mid 1300s, the Italian states that are in our world called Lombardy, Liguria, Piedmont, and Valle d'Aosta, together with a bit of southern Switzerland and the French province of Rhone-Alps, declared their independence as the sovereign state of Carune.

In other scripts the vowel is doubled. *The following apply to the use of Hebrew graphemes with Senjecas: **A dot after a Hebrew grapheme indicates the use of the [[wikipedia:dagesh|''dagesh'']]. They are not too clear in this font. When necessary, the ''dagesh'' indicates ***1) the occlusive member of the stop/fricative pairs ''or'' ***2) the voiced member of the sonorant pairs. **The [[wikipedia:niqqud|''niqqud]]im'' are used as follows: ***The ''niqqudim'' for '''a, e, i, ø''' and '''u''' are written under the preceding consonant. With the double or the long vowels, the second ''niqqud'' is written under an ''alef''. ***The ''niqqud'' for '''o''' is written above the preceding consonant. Note that, in the palatalized vowel table, the ''niqqud'' is to the left of the ''yod''. It should be above the ''yod''. **''Vav'' is used as the [[wikipedia:mater lectionis|''mater lectionis'']] for the ''niqqudim'' when the vowel is labialized. **''Yod'' is used as the ''mater lectionis'' for the ''niqqudim'' when the vowel is palatalized. Note that there is no difference in spelling between a palatalized vowel and a ''yod'' followed by a vowel. This causes no confusion as there are no minimal pairs consisting of a palatalized vowel and a consonant followed by a '''ȝ'''. Thus <font color=brown>מֵניֺס</font>, mountain range, is <font color=blue>menȝos</font>, not *<font color=blue>menĭos</font>. *The [[wikipedia:tengwar|tengwar]] are analyzed as follows (''taken from volume 3, appendix E, page 494''): **The first grade (''tyelle'') is used for the labial consonants. ***The normal stem (''telco'') represents the stops. ***The rising stem represents the fricatives. ***The shortened stem represents the sonorants. ***The double bow (''lúva'') indicates voicing. Thus rows (''témar'') 5 & 6 are reversed. **The second grade is used for the dental consonants. **The third grade is used for the alveolar consonants. **The fourth grade is used for the palatal consonants. **Those familiar with the tengwar will notice that ''tyeller'' 1 & 2 are interchanged to reflect the Senjecan idea that the labials precede the dentals. **The tengwar vowels in the table below are shown with Latin letters as carriers. When necessary, tengwar #30 is used as the carrier. **Tengwar #35 is used to indicate a palatal vowel and #36 a labial vowel respectively. =labial clan - <font color=blue>lavluĸos</font> - <font color=red>лавлукос</font> - <font color=green>λαβλυκως</font> - <font color=brown>לַבלֻכֺס</font>= {| border=1 !c=01| Word !c=02| Tree !c=03| Frath !c=04| Conl !c=05| IPA !c=06| X-S !c=07| Cyr !c=08| Grk !c=09| Arm !c=10| Dev !c=11| Geo !c=12| Heb !c=13| Teng |- |c=01| p |c=02| pérĸ̆is<br><small>oak</small> |c=03| p |c=04| p |c=05| p |c=06| p |c=07| п |c=08| π |c=09| &#1402;

It was implanted by Senesantus in the Children of Air, the [[Senjecan_anatomy_and_physiology#The_Ethrans|Ethrans]] (the mages), the first created of the Six Loquent Peoples when s/he sang their unique song into their ears, and subsequently s/he sang their unique songs into the ears of the other loquent peoples as they were created. It remained the only language spoken by the Six Loquent Peoples until the Great Sundering. After this, differences between the Peoples and regional differences within each People arose which led to the development of diverse languages, many of which became mutually unintelligible. The ability to speak Senjecas had never been lost by the Children of Wood, the [[Senjecan_anatomy_and_physiology#The_Xylans|Xylans]] (the giants), who had been unaffected by the Great Sundering, and the Ethrans. In the renascence that began after the Children of Earth (the humans) recovered from the Great Sundering, Senjecas was restored as the medium of communication among the Six Loquent Peoples. The language is an [[Wikipedia:analytic language|isolating (analytic) language]] with only a very few [[wikipedia:inflection|inflections]], although compounding is common. It is a Type A [[wikipedia:tone (linguistics)|tonal]] language (register system) with an absence of [[wikipedia:velar|velar]] and [[wikipedia:uvular|uvular]] sounds and limited [[wikipedia:consonant|consonant]] clusters. It is classed as a [[wikipedia:nominative-accusative|nominative-accusative]] language. This grammar is divided into four sections. Part I describes the [[wikipedia:phonology|phonology]] of the language. In this section is discussed the writing and the sounds of the language, the [[wikipedia:syllabification|syllabification]] and accenting of words, and [[wikipedia:punctuation|punctuation]]. Part II describes the inflection of the words. In this section is discussed the formation of individual words in their several categories (nouns, verbs, ''etc''.). Part III describes word formation, the way in which individual words are combined to form new words. Part IV describes the [[wikipedia:syntax|syntax]]. In this section are discussed the rules governing the way words are combined to form sentences.

This page describes the game as played in the early days of the Old Empire. This version remained popular well into modern times, but several other variants are common as well. [[Image:Daçezzhi.gif|right]] Daçezzhi is played on an 11x11 board, as seen to the right. The top half is called East, the bottom half West, the left half North, and the right half South. The middle row and middle collumn divide the board into four quadrants. The middle collumn has no role in the classic game or its descendants, but it ''did'' have an important role in Fives. The blue squares in the middle row are called the River, while the grey squares are called Bridges. No piece may occupy a River square, though they may pass over them. There are two players, East and West, sometimes referred to as Red and Blue. West makes the first move. Victory can be achieved by either checkmating the opponent's General, or by leaving one's opponent with no legal moves. == Pieces == Each player starts with 22 pieces, as follows: *1 General (G on the diagram) *2 Aides (A) *4 Knights (K) *2 Chariots (C) *2 Dragons (D) *5 Archers (Ar) *6 Soldiers (S) The '''General''' moves one step in any direction, but must remain on its own half of the board, that is, they cannot cross the River The '''Aide''' steps in a single diagonal direction. The Aide and the General share a special move. When adjacent, they can swap spaces [[Image:Daçezzhi-Knight.gif|left|100px]]The '''Knight''' moves one space orthogonally and one or two spaces diagonally, leaping over intervening pieces The '''Chariot''' moves any number of spaces orthogonally. It captures by leaping over an enemy piece the space immediately after it. It therefore cannot capture a piece if there is not an empty space behind it. The '''Dragon''' moves up to five spaces in any direction, leaping over ''friendly'' pieces, but not hostile ones. Note that Chariots and Dragons are capable of threatening each other from positions in which they are completely safe, if a Chariot has another piece behind it, or if a Dragon hides behind a friendly piece, they are safe from their counterparts [[Image:Daçezzhi-Archer.gif|left|100px]]The '''Archer''' moves one space directly ahead or diagonally ahead. It captures differently, however. It has two ways of capturing. It can capture a piece adjacent to it directly ahead, diagonally ahead, or to the side without moving (stationary shooting). Alternately, it can capture the piece directly in its line of movement after making a move, either as usual or by moving left or right. After crossing the river, it becomes a Promoted Archer. The '''Promoted Archer''' can moves one space in any direction. It can capture any adjacent piece without moving, or, as with the Archer, by moving and capturing the piece beyond it. The '''Soldier''' can move one space directly ahead or diagonally. In addition, it has the ability to capture a piece to the left or right, but otherwise cannot move horizontally. After crossing the river, it becomes a Promoted Soldier The '''Promoted Soldier''' can move one space in any direction. Because of the ability of the Chariot to capture by leaping, and of the Archer to capture ahead of itself, it is sometimes necessary to guard two or three spaces to protect a piece. The opening phase of the game generally consists of moving ones pieces into a particular array, known as a ''Formation'', independant of one's opponent's moves. This often lasts between 15-20 moves. The early midgame often consists of forrays into enemy territory, and exchanges of pieces (this is formally recognized as the "Raid" phase). The midgame is generally considered to begin once one player gains a foothold in enemy territory, that is, moving a piece into enemy terrritory that is not immediately captured. == Notation == Traditionally, each row and collumn has a name. The rows are, from top to bottom: *East Home Row *East Archers' Row *East Soldiers' Row *East Marching Row *East Shore The bottom five are named inversely. East and West may be replaced by Friendly and Hostile, which terms are relative to the players. The collumns are, from left to right *North Dragons' Collumn *North Outer Knights' Collumn *North Chariots' Collumn *North Inner Knights' Collumn *North Aides' Collumn *Middle Collumn or Generals' Collumn With the right half mirroring them. The terms North and South may be dropped, and often are, in discussion of strategy, since there is no inherent difference between the north and south halves of the board (although, of course, in an individual game, one half may prove more important, depending on play) Individual spaces may be named by combining the name of the collumn and row, thus, Northeast Dragons' Marching. The bridges are named North Bridge, Middle Bridge, and South Bridge. In modern times, a more abstract naming scheme has developed that uses numbers, with East Home Row being East 5, East Archers' being East 4 and so forth, and North Dragons' being North 5, etc, with the entire middle row called Middle and the middle collumn Middle. Thus, Northeast Dragons' Marching would be North 5 East 2 (N5E2), and North Bridge would be North 3 River (N3R). A quick look at the board and the movement rules for the pieces indicates that there are two squares that serve as traps for the soldiers and archers. They are the Friendly Dragons' Shore squares. An Archer or Soldier caught in these squares can only escape by capturing. They are often referred to as the Dead Squares. === Moves === To describe moves, one first names the piece being moved, and then the square it is moved to. If necessary to disambiguate, one gives the name of the starting square as well. The squares' names are commonly abbreviated. We may abbreviate them as follows: *Quadrants are referred to as NE, SE, NW, SW *Collumns are: D, O, C, I, A, M (for Middle) *Rows are: H, A, S, M, Sh *Bridges are NB, MB, SB Pieces are abbreviated as in the board diagram at top, with S+ and Ar+ for Promoted Soldier and Promoted Archer To indicate a move without capture, a dash is used (the Kassi use a simplification of the character for "go"), e.g., K-NEDH (Knight to Northeast Dragons' Home) or K:NEOH-IM (Knight from Northeast Outer Knights' Home to Inner Knights' Marching). Quadrants need only be named in the destination if different from the initial square. For a capture, an x is used (the Kassi use a simplification of the character meaning "Kill"), followed by the piece captured and the square captuerd on, thus, KxS/NB (Knight captures Soldier on North Bridge) For Archers, a stationay shooting is indicated by a simple arrow followed by the piece being captured and its sqare. The identity of the archer is not necessary (and can often be academic anyways). We may indicate this with the symbol ->, thus ->K/NEDSh (Knight on Northeast Dragons' Shore shot), a moving shooting is indicated by the Archers' move followed by the arrow and the site of the capture, e.g., Ar-NWCM->S/ISh (Archer moves to Northwest Chariots' Marching, capturing Soldier on Inner Knights' Shore). Promotions are optionally marked with a (P) after the move. A chariots' capture is indicated by a character meaning "run over". Like the archer, its move is given first, then its capture. We may symoblize the capture with %, thus C-SEISh%S/ASh (Chariot to Southeast Inner Knights' Shore, capturing Soldier on Aides' Shore) A General-Aide swap is indicated by writing the General's movement, followed by a special sign indicating a swap, which may be indicated with *, thus, G-SEIS* (General to Southeast Inner Knights' Soldier, swapping with an Aide) [[Category:Kasshi]] [[Category:Games]] File:Daçezzhi-Knight.gif 2240 8613 2006-04-21T04:12:59Z Christina 18 Dacezzhi 2241 8618 2006-04-21T04:34:04Z Christina 18 #REDIRECT [[Daçezzhi]] 'Ukana'akau 2242 48306 2009-08-10T20:55:54Z Sectori 48 /* Imperative */ {{Infobox|name='Ukana'akau |pronounce=/ʔukanaʔakau/ |tu=nonspecific |species=Human |in=nonspecific |no=unknown |script=Own |tree=None |morph=Isolating |ms=Accusative-Dative |wo=(T)VAP(R)(L) |creator=[[User:Sectori|Sectori]] |date=February 2006<br>revised March 2008}} 'Ukana'akau was created by [[User:Sectori|Sectori]] on the [http://www.spinoff.com/zbb ZBB] as part of Neek's Minimal Phonology Challenge in February 2006. It was revised in March 2008. Relevant linguistic information: the speakers of 'Ukana'akau are called the 'Akau. 'Ukana'akau is topic-marking, almost completely isolating, and accusative-dative (see below for more information). ==Phonology== 'Ukana'akau has a fairly simple phonology. ===Phoneme Inventory=== The nine phonemes of the challenge were <tt>/p t k s n ʔ a i u/</tt>, romanized as <nowiki><p t k s n ' a i u></nowiki>. Additionally, there is a fourth "grammatical vowel", transcribed <v>, which is covered in more detail in the section on nominal morphology. When it is necessary to pronounce <v>, it is pronounced as a schwa /ǝ/. ===Syllables=== 'Ukana'akau's original syllable structure was (C)(')V (with <nowiki>''</nowiki> not permitted), but C' clusters have since been reanalyzed as glottalized consonants <tt>/p_ʔ t_ʔ k_ʔ s_ʔ n_ʔ/</tt>, leaving the structure (C)V. ===Allophony=== Vowel clusters, which technically constitute multiple syllables, are generally realized as diphthongs or triphthongs. ===Stress=== Stress falls regularly on the penultimate syllable. Monosyllabic words are usually stressed. In polysyllabic words which have one or more glottalized consonants, stress usually falls on vowel after the first glottalized consonant. Particles, such as '''iki''' and '''tv''' are never stressed. ===Notes=== The most common consonants are <nowiki><t k></nowiki>, with <nowiki><s p></nowiki> being the rarest. Few words have more than three syllables; those that do are usually compounds of smaller words. The name of the language, itself is a compound of the words ''''ukana''' ''language'' (an archaic stative form of '''kinu''' ''speak'') and ''''Akau''', the autonym of the speakers of 'Ukana'akau. ==Nominal Morphology== A note at the beginning: any time the word "noun" appears in this section, it can be freely replaced with "pronoun," which is to say they are treated the same. A variety of preposed particles are used with nouns. * '''kv''' is the topic-marking particle * '''tv''' is the object-marking particle * '''pv''' is the location/motion-marking particle * '''sv''' is the vocative particle * ''''v''' is the generic plural-marking particle When a plural needs to be marked on any particle other than ''''v''', the initial consonant becomes glottalized, i.e. '''k'v''', '''t'v''', '''p'v''', '''s'v'''. ===Topic=== The topic-marking particle defaults to being placed before the subject/agent of the sentence, i.e. {| ! k'aki || ''k'a'' || ta'aka || tu || nu'au |- | create || TOP.PL || god || OBJ.SG || world |- | the || gods || create || the || world |} where '''k'a''' marks '''ta'aka''' ''gods'' as the topic/agent. If further emphasis is desired, or if another nominal or pronominal constituent is be topic marked, the topic is fronted and an anaphoric particle is left in its place (the marker for the fronted constituent), for example {| ! ku || nu'au || k'aki || ('a) || ta'aka || ''tu'' |- | TOP.SG || world || create || (PL) || god || OBJ.SG |- | the || world, || the || gods || create || it |} The topic can also act as an introductory phrase, i.e. ''as for the world, the gods created it''. The anaphoric pronoun is the particle that was in the original sentence. ===Object=== The object-marking particle marks the direct object/patient by default, and is used in several compound expressions, e.g. '''tua tv''' (marks the recipient or beneficiary). When an object has already been stated, rather than restate it or use a third person pronoun, the object particle is used as an anaphoric device. For example, {| ! 'i || t'asa || ku || ti'u || ''ta'' || '''i-t'asa'' || tua ti || ka'i; || 'i || t'asa || ka'i || ''ta'' || tua || ta || pu'a |- | PAST || give || TOP.SG || 2P || OBJ.SG || gift || REC.SG || 1P || PAST || give || 1P || OBJ.SG || REC || OBJ.SG || 3P |- | you || gave || the || gift || to || me; || I || gave || it || to || him |} where '''ta''' in the second clause shows that ''''i-t'asa''' ''gift'' is still the object. ===Location=== The location-marking particle marks, unsurprisingly, location, after the generic relation-markers ni (in, at, on), na (to, at, towards), and nu (from, out of, away from). Locatives have their own place in the sentence, appearing after the Receiver argument but before any clause-final particles. A locational expression can be used as a verb by placing the stative particle a'u before it and moving it to the front of the clause. In such a case, it can take the same particles as any verb, except a locational adverb. For example: {| ! a'u || 'i || ni || pu || Sa'aku || ki || ka'i |- | STAT || PAST || in || LOC.SG || Sa'aku || TOP.SG || 1P |- | I || was || in || Sa'aku |} ===Vocative=== The vocative particle marks direct address, e.g. {| ! su || K'uanu, || ka || uka || ini || n'a |- | VOC.SG || K'uanu || TOP.SG || IMP || come || ALLADV |- | K'uanu, || come || hither |} ===Plural=== The separate plural-marker ''''v''' is optional in most cases. It is usually only used in cases where context cannot distinguish number. It is only used on unmarked subjects/agents (i.e. the subjects/agents of clauses where the topic has been fronted). ===Possession=== Possessive relationships are shown by placing the possessor after the possessee, e.g. {| ! ta'aka || ka'i |- | god || 1P |- | my || god |} ==Verbal Morphology== Verbs also take particles to show a number of things, as well as being able to be modified by adverbs. In the order they appear in a sentence: there is a particle marking a verb as irrealis (realis is unmarked), particles marking a verb as imperfective or stative (perfective is unmarked), a particle marking the past the past tense (non-past is unmarked), and a variety of particles (the list is incomplete) marking mode and evidentiality. The mood, aspect, and tense particles, as well as adverbs, come before the verb, while the mode and evidentiality markers are clause final. Finally, there are some special nominal constructions that affect the verb. ===Irrealis=== The irrealis particle is '''iki'''. It is used with the nonpast to show doubt, hope, or possibility, and with the past to show a contrafactual. With the clause-initial particle kiu, the irrealis sets up a condition which can have several different translations depending on a number of factors. The past irrealis sets up a contrafactual (if I had done...[and I didn't]; if I should do...[and I may or may not]) or hypothetical condition, and the nonpast sets up a standard condition (if I did...[and I did]; if I do...[and I will/have]). The tense of the realis determines whether the entire conditional is past (...then I would have done...) or nonpast (...then I will do...). (The parentheticals are just examples of some conditional openings and conclusions.) ===Aspect=== Ukana'akau distinguishes three aspects: perfective, imperfective, and stative. * The perfective aspect is the default unmarked aspect. * The imperfective aspect is marked by the particle '''a'i'''. * The stative is marked by the particle '''a'u'''. The perfective aspect shows that an action was/is/will be completed. The imperfective shows that the action was not/is not/will not be completed, or is habitual. The stative, like the perfect in English, shows a state resulting from a past action. The stative is also used to from stative verbs from adjectives and to turn verbs into a "participial/gerundive" form that can act as an adjective or a noun, e.g. '''a'u t'asa''' ''giving''. These derived forms function identically to other nouns. When they are used with topic, object, etc. particles, the particle agrees with the final vowel of the verb, e.g. '''ka a'u t'asa'''. ===Adverbs=== Following aspect markers come adverbs. Adverbs fall into several categories. First, there is the negative marker '''nui'''. In a sequence of adverbs, this always comes first, and marks that the verb is negative. Second come temporal markers such as ''''iaki''' ''yesterday'' and '''nuaki''' ''tomorrow''. Third come adverbs derived from adjectives with the particle '''sua'''. ===Tense=== Ukana'akau verbs distinguish two tenses, past and non-past. The non-past is unmarked; the past tense marker is ''''i'''. It shows that the verb describes a past action, e.g. ''''i kinu ka'i''' ''I spoke''. ===Preverbal Particles=== So, the final order of preverbal particles: irrealis - aspect - negative - temporal - adverb - locative - past ===Clause-Final Particles=== A number of particles are clause-final, acting somewhat like English modal verbs. * '''ua''' is the permissive particle, either asking, granting, or withholding permission from someone. * '''ita''' is the dubitative particle, showing doubt on behalf of the speaker. * '''pau''' marks the sentence as hearsay: the speaker has yet to confirm what he or she has heard. * '''kui''' marks the sentence as fact that the speaker has confirmed and believes to be true. * '''anu''' is the potential particle, i.e. "able to" or "can". Marking evidentiality with '''pau''' or '''kui''' is not obligatory, but can clarify the meaning of a sentence in some contexts. More of these particles are yet to come. ===Causative=== The causative works by adding a second agent argument A2. The second agent is marked by the particle '''is'a ('v)''' and is generally fronted, e.g. {| ! is'a || 'u || 'Akau || 'i || k'aki || ki || ka'i || tu || nu'au |- | CAUS || PL || 'Akau || PAST || create || TOP.SG || 1P || OBJ.SG || world |- | the || 'Akau || made || me || create || the || world |} If a topic other than the subject of the main verb is fronted, A2 moves to clause-final position, although it always precedes the receiver argument, if there is one. {| ! ku || nu'au || 'i || k'aki || ka'i || tu || is'a || ('u) || 'Akau |- | TOP.SG || world || PAST || create || 1P || OBJ.SG || CAUS || (PL) || 'Akau |- | as for || the || world, || the || 'Akau || made || me || create || it |} ===Passive=== The passive, marked by the particle '''atu''', reverses A and P. The order of constituents changes from VAP to VP atu A. P is marked as the topic and A is unmarked, except for plurality. For example: {| ! 'i || k'aki || ku || nu'au || atu || ('u) || 'Akau |- | PAST || create || TOP.SG || world || PASS || (PL) || 'Akau |- | the || world || was || created || by || the || 'Akau |} This usage is just an inverse, switching the emphasis from the agent to the patient. The passive can be translated with the English passive, but in reality it's usually just a less emphatic way of changing the topic. Topic-fronting is more common when specific emphasis is necessary, especially when changing the focus for the first time, but the passive is used in subsequent cases when the extra emphasis would be out of place. However, the A argument can also be dropped, in which case a topic-marker is left in its place, a more prototypical passive than the general usage. This is one of a very few times that more than one topic-marker may appear in a clause. {| ! 'i || k'aki || ku || nu'au || atu || k'u |- | PAST || create || TOP.SG || world || PASS || TOP.PL |- | the || world || was || created || by || them |} ===Imperative=== The imperative takes no preverbal particles and is usually preceded by a vocative expression. There are to ways of forming the imperative. The first replaces the subject/agent (the person commanded) with the particle '''uka'''. '''Uka''' is always topic-marked and fronted. No anaphoric particle is left in its place. If the person commanded is singular, uka is treated is singular; if plural, plural. {| ! su || ti'u, || ka || uka || k'aki || tu || nu'au |- | VOC.SG || 2P || TOP.SG || IMP || create || OBJ.SG || world |- | you, || create || the || world |} The second replaces the subject/agent with a dummy subject marker '''ku''' (or '''k'u''' if a group is commanded). {| ! s'u || ti'u, || k'aki || k'u || tu || nu'au |- | VOC.PL || 2P || create || TOP.PL || OBJ.SG || world |- | you (all), || create || the || world |} ===Existentials=== Existentials are formed with the stative expression a'u n'i. N'i is a pronominal/adverbial particle meaning here, there. This expression is treated as a verb in all respects, including fronting and taking particles. If clarification as to the location is needed, a further locative expression can be used, e.g. {| ! a'u || 'i || ni || pu || Sa'aku || n'i || ka || ta'aka |- | STAT || PAST || in || LOC.SG || Sa'aku || LOCADV || TOP.SG || god |- | there || was || a || god || in || Sa'aku |} ===Impersonal Expressions=== Impersonal expressions are formed with the ubiquitous stative particle '''a'u''' and an anaphoric topic '''ka'''. Like the passive, if another topic is to be fronted, the extra topic marker remains. An impersonal sentence may be translated in a number of ways depending on context. {| ! k'u || nu'au || a'u || n'i || k'aki || ka |- | TOP.PL || world || STAT || LOCADV || create || TOP.SG |- | worlds || are || created || there |- | "they" || create || worlds || there |} {| ! a'u || n'i || kinu || ka || tu || 'Ukana'akau |- | STAT || LOCADV || speak || TOP.SG || OBJ.SG || 'Ukana'akau |- | "they" || speak || 'Ukana'akau || there |- | 'Ukana'akau || is || spoken || there |} It can also express, to a certain degree, ability, e.g. they can speak 'Ukana'akau there. ==Adjectives== Adjectives, such as '''puia''' ''red'', always follow the noun they modify, e.g. {| ! 'i-t'asa || puia |- | gift || red |- | red gift |} ===Stative Verbs=== However, if the adjective is really a stative verb, the stative phrase follows the noun modified, e.g. {| ! ka || 'i-t'asa || a'u || t'asa |- | TOP.SG || gift || STAT || give |- | the || given || gift |- | the || gift || that || is || given |} ===As Verbs=== An adjective may be used as a stative verb, e.g. ''be red''. In such cases it acts as a verb in all respects, including taking verbal particles and moving to the front of the clause. Such adjectives always take the stative particle ''a'u'': {| ! a'u || 'i || puia || ku || 'Akau |- | STAT || PAST || red || TOP.SG || 'Akau |- | the || 'Akau || was || red |} ===Adverbs=== An adjective can be changed into an adverb with the particle '''sua'''. Adverbs (formed with '''sua''' or otherwise) can be used to modify adjectives. In such cases, the adverb follows the noun it modifies. {| ! ka || ta'aka || puia || nui |- | TOP.SG || god || red || not |- | the || not || red || god |} [[Category:Conlangs]][[Category:A priori conlangs]] Carune Lesson 1 2243 8653 2006-04-21T22:11:17Z Sectori 48 Carune is spoken in a nation which is, in our world, northern Italy, a little part of southern France, and some of Switzerland (which annexed part of Austria in the first World War). This nation depends greatly on tourism, especially skiers, as well as on mining and animal herding. However, the capital, Torine (Turin), as well as Milane (Milan) and Monze feature large computer industries, and Milane has become a world fashion center. The southern area of the country is also a haven for archaeologists seeking Roman ruins. Grenobela (Grenoble), in what is in our world France, Torine, Zergattum in our Switzerland, and Genova (Genoa), in our Italy have all hosted Olympic games at one time or another. ==Pronunciation== ===Vowels=== Carune has five vowels: *A (alva) /a/ *E (epcilon) /E/ *I (iota) /i/ or /j/ in a vowel cluster, so "iota" is pronounced /jota/ *O (omicron) /o/ *U (upcilon) /u/ ===Consonants=== It also has 21 consonants, not counting 2 variations on c and g: Stops: *B (beta) /b/ *C (ceta) /k/ before < u >, <a>, or <o>. Before <e> or < i >, ceta is pronounced /tS/ *D (delta) /d/ *G (gamma) /g/before < u >, <a>, or <o>. Before <e> or < i >, gamma is pronounced /dZ/ *P (pai) /p/ *Qu (quappa) /kw/ *T (tau) /t/ Fricatives: *H (hai) /h/ *F (fai) /f/ *S (sigma) /s/ *V (veta) /v/ *Z (zeta) /z/ Nasals: *M (miu) /m/ *N (niu) /n/ Liquids: *L (landa) /l/ *R (ro) /r/ ==Dialog== Ione and Rome are students at a language course, learning Carune in preparation for their trip their over the summer. This is the first day of class and they are meeting outside the classroom. Each knows a little Carune from outside study, so they begin their conversation in Carune. ===Carune=== *Ione: Chao! Estuda vusse Carune? *Rome: Signa, signa. Mi iamo Rome. Comi si iama? *Ione: Mi iamo Ione. Benencontrate. *Rome: Iqualamente. *''Enton il clase comensa.'' ===English=== *Ione: Hi! Do you study Carune? *Rome: Yes, yes. My name is Rome. What is your name? *Ione: My name is Ione. Good to meet you. *Rome: You as well. *''Then the class begins.'' ===Grammar Notes=== This dialogue highlights something extremely important: introducing your self. The verb in Carune to introduce yourself is '''iamarsi''', a reflexive (we'll learn more about reflexive verbs in Lesson 5). Here are some important phrases to know: *'''Chao''': hi, hello *'''Mi iamo...''': my name is... *'''Comi si iama?''': what is your name? (formal) *'''Benencontrate''': good to meet you *'''Iqualamente''': you as well (response to '''benencontrate''') *'''Enton''': then ==Nouns== Carune has three genders of noun: masculine (ending in -e), feminine (ending in -a), and neuter (ending in -um). Here are some basic nouns: Masculine: '''il some'''-the human '''il cane'''-the dog '''il fele'''-the cat Feminine: '''al selva'''-the jungle '''al ava'''-the bird '''al verba'''-the verb Neuter: '''el frasum'''-the sentence '''el lugum'''-the placfe '''Zergattum'''-Zergattum, a city in Carune In case you couldn't guess, '''il, al,''' and '''el''' are the Carune singular definite articles. '''Il''' for masculine nouns, '''al''' for feminine nouns, and '''el''' for neuter nouns. To make nouns plural, change the ending from -e to -i in masculine nouns, -a to -ae in feminine nouns, and -um to -o in neuter nouns. To make the articles plural, remove the final -l. ==Introduction to Verbs== There are five types of verbs in Carune: -a stem (regular -are verbs), -e stem (regular -ere verbs), -i stem (regular -ire verbs), -o stem (so-called "regular" irregular verbs), and irregular verbs. In Lesson One, we will learn to conjugate -a stem verbs in the present indicative tense. First, though, we must learn to use subject pronouns. Carune has nine subject pronouns: *'''Io'''-I *'''Tu'''-you (singular, informal), thou *'''Ele'''-he *'''Ela'''-she *'''Vusse'''-you (singular, formal, masculine) *'''Vussa'''-you (singular, formal, feminine) *'''Noi'''-we *'''Voi'''-you (plural) *'''Eli'''-they (if one male is present or for masculine nouns) *'''Elae'''-they (if a group is all female or for feminine nouns) NOTE: Like most romance languages, Carune differentiates between formal and informal forms of the pronoun "you". In order to differentiate, "thou" will be used when translating '''tu''', as "thou" was originally an informal pronoun in English. You will be used to translate '''vusse/a'''. When translating '''voi''', y'all will be used. ==Verb Conjugation== Now to conjugate our first verb: *'''parlare'''-to speak *'''Io parlo'''-I speak *'''Tu parlai'''-thou speak(est?) *'''Ele/ela parla'''-he/she speaks *'''Vusse parla'''-you speak (singular) *'''Noi parlam'''-we speak *'''Voi parlas'''-y'all speak *'''Eli parlae'''-they (masculine) speak *'''Elae parlae'''-they (feminine) speak Wasn't that easy? Just take off the stem and add an ending based on the pronoun. For reference: *Io: -o *Tu: -ai *Ele/ela/vusse: -a *Noi: -am *Voi: -as *Eli/elae: -ae Here are some general words before I give you your practice assignment: *'''a'''-to. When combined with the definite articles, in contracts to '''al''' if singular, and '''a''' if plural. *'''com'''-with *'''per'''-for *'''sed'''-but *'''para'''-in order to, for *'''di'''-from, of *'''no'''-not, comes before the verb *'''in'''-in, on ==Exercises== ===Exercise I=== Conjugate each verb below in all forms: *1) Volare-to fly *2) Confezare-to confess *3) Commensare-to commence ===Exercise II=== Translate from English to Carune: *1) The bird flies to Zergattum. *2) The cat walks with the dog. (HINT: to walk=ambulare) *3) I study Carune (HINT: to study=estudare) *4) The bird flies, but the cat walks. *5) Thou confess(est?). ===Excercise III=== Translate from Carune to English: *1) Il lezione commensa. (HINT: Il lezione is a cognate) *2) Ele ambula a Zergattum. *3) Elae estudae Carune. *4) Voi ambulas in el lugum *5) El frasum comensa com al verba "confezare." ===Exercise IV=== Write three sentences using the vocabulary you have learned. ==Next== *[[Carune|Top]] *[[Carune Lesson 2|Forward]] Carune Lesson 2 2244 8652 2006-04-21T22:11:01Z Sectori 48 In [[Carune Lesson 1|Lesson 1]] you learned to conjugate regular -a stem verbs in Carune. In this lesson, we will discuss -e stem verbs, as well as the irregular verb '''stare''', adjectives, and numerals. ==Dialog== Ione and Rome have completed their class in Carune and are on the plane to Torine international airport (Al Airoporta Intrenazionala di Torine). They've encountered a native of Torine, and they engage her in conversation. ===Carune=== *Ione: Siniora, parla Carune? *Ofelia: A, signa. Comi si iamae? *Rome: Mi iamo Rome, e estu es Ione. *Ione: Estudam Carune in Nuva Iorca, e querem ire a Carune para estudara alla. *Ofelia: Bene! Pudo directarvos a unum lugum bonum para habitare. *Rome: In realita? Perfette! *''Ela dice a Rome e Ione el lugum.'' ===English=== *Ione: Miss, do you speak Carune? *Ofelia: Ah, yes. What are your names? *Rome: My name is Rome, and this is Ione. *Ione: We study Carune in New York, and we want to go to Carune to study there. *Ofelia: Great! I can direct you to a great place to live. *Rome: Really? Perfect! *'''She tells Rome and Ione the place.'' ===Grammar Notes=== There are a few things to note here. '''A''' in Carune usually means ''to'' or ''at''. However, there are many cases where Carune uses it that English would not. For example '''ela dice a Rome e Ione''' translates as ''she tells Rome and Ione'', not ''she tells to Rome and Ione''. *'''Comi si iamae?''': what are your names? *'''Nuva Iorca''': New York *'''Pudo directarvos''': I can direct you *'''Habitare''': to live (closer to ''to inhabit'') *'''Perfette''': perfect ==Nouns== In Lesson 1 you learned about the definite articles in Carune. In this lesson, you will learn about the definite articles. They are much simpler than the definite articles, as they function as adjectives in effect. There are six indefinite articles: *'''Une''': masculine singular *'''Uni''': masculine plural *'''Una''': feminine singular *'''Unae''': feminine plural *'''Unum''': neuter singular *'''Uno''': neuter plural For example: *'''Une cane''': a dog *'''Una ora''': an hour *'''Unum adiectum''': an adjective *'''Uni cani''': some dogs *'''Unae orae''': some hours *'''Uno adiecto''': some adjectives ==-E Stem Verbs== In the last lesson, you learned to conjugate -a stem verbs, those whose infinitive forms end in -are. In this lesson you will learn about -e stem verbs, whose stems end in -ere. Here is a sample -e stem verb, conjugated in the present indicative tense: *'''Savere''': to know (knowledge) *'''Io savo''': I know *'''Tu savei'''-you (singular, informal) know *'''Ele save'''-he knows *'''Ela save'''-she knows *'''Vusse/a save'''-you (singular, formal) know *'''Noi savem'''-we know *'''Voi saves'''-you (plural) know *'''Eli saven'''-they (masculine) know *'''Elae saven'''-they (feminine) know Just take off the stem and add an ending based on the pronoun. For reference: *Io: -o *Tu: -ei *Ele/ela/vusse: -e *Noi: -em *Voi: -es *Eli/elae: -en ==Stare and Adjectives== '''Stare''' (to be) is an irregular verb. It is used to express transient or mutable qualities, such as feelings and location. It is conjugated as follows: *'''Io stoi''': I am *'''Tu stai''': you (informal, singular) are *'''Ele/ela/vusse sta''': s/he/you (formal, singular) is/are *'''Noi stam''': we are *'''Voi stas''': you (plural) are *'''Eli/elae stae''': they are Adjectives decline similarly to noun. They must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For instance, '''felice''' is the singular masculine form of the adjective ''happy''. Here is '''felice''' in all its forms: *'''felice''': masculine singular *'''felici''': masculine plural *'''felica''': feminine singular *'''felicae''': feminine plural *'''felicum''': neuter singular *'''felico''': neuter plural Some other adjectives: *'''triste''': sad *'''bene''': well (does not decline) *'''male''': bad (does not decline) Stare is used to express feelings. Fill it in to this formula: '''stare''' + declined feeling adjective. For example: *'''Io stoi felice''': I am happy *'''Tu stai felica''': Thou art happy *'''Noi stam felici''': We are happy ==Numbers and Counting== The numbers in Carune are quite simple. They are very similar to many Romance languages, but with more relation to Latin. Here are the numbers from one to ten. *'''Zero''': 0 *'''Unu''': 1 *'''Due''': 2 *'''Tre''': 3 *'''Qator''': 4 *'''Qinqe''': 5 *'''Sece''': 6 *'''Septe''': 7 *'''Oto''': 8 *'''Nove''': 9 *'''Dez''': 10 When describing how many objects there are, use the special verb '''hai'''-there is/are. For example: *'''Hai tre cani in mi casa''': There are three dogs in my house *'''Hai dez avae in il parqe''': There are ten birds in the park ==Exercises== ===Exercise I=== Conjugate each verb below in all forms: *1) Aprendere-to learn (always combined with '''a''': '''Io aprendo a Carune'''-I learn Carune) *2) Devere-to owe, should *3) Lignere-to read ===Exercise II=== Write sentences describing how the following people feel: *1) Ione: happy *2) Iulia: sad *3) Rome: well *4) Ofelia: bad ===Exercise III=== Translate the following sentences into English: *1) Io stoi bene. *2) Iulia sta maele. *3) Ligno une libre. (libre=book) *4) Vusse aprende a Carune, non? *5) Hai qator fraso in il libre. ===Exercise IV=== Translate the following sentences into Carune: *1) I am well. *2) Ione wants to be happy. (qerere-to want) *3) There is a cat here. (here-aqui) *4) You should read a book. *5) Compose your own sentence here. (Really, don't translate this ;) ==Next== *[[Carune|Top]] *[[Carune Lesson 1|Back]] *[[Carune Lesson 3|Forward]] Carune Lesson 3 2245 8655 2006-04-21T22:12:11Z Sectori 48 /* Exercise III */ In [[Carune Lesson 2|Lesson 2]] you learned about describing feelings with the verb '''stare'''. In this lesson, you will learn to use '''stare''' in describing location, and the verb '''sere''' will be introduced. We'll also talk about third conjugation ('''-i''' stem) verbs, such as '''cognire''' and '''somnire'''. ==Dialogue== Having arrived in Torine, Ione and Rome said goodbye to Ofelia and now are proceeding to an art exhibit that they've been looking forward to. Passing through the web of side streets, they become lost and seek out directions from Iulia, a passerby. ===Carune=== *Ione: Cogno quo stam confuzati. (''Ele punte a una muera.'') Lo pudem pidire direchioni a li. *Rome: Signa, signa. M'scusi, siniorina. *Iulia: Signa? Que te pudo fazere? *Ione: Stam vistadori a Torine, e nezitam direchini. *Rome: Signa. Noi querem zare al Museme di Arti para al presentazione. *Iulia: In realita? Io tamben! Venis com mi. *''Eli ambulae al Museme di Arti.'' ===Traduzione (Translation)=== *Ione: I think that we are lost. (''He points to a woman.'') We can ask her for directions. *Rome: Yes, yes. Excuse me, miss. *Iulia: Yes? What can I do for you? *Ione: We are visitors to Torine, and we need directions. *Rome: Yes. We want to go to the museum of art for the presentation. *Iulia: Really? Me too! Come with me. *''The walk to the Museum of Art.'' ===Grammar Notes=== This dialogue focuses on a number of points that were studied previously, and some that are coming up. In the first line, Ione says '''...stam confuzati'''. This means "we are confused". Here are some other sentences you should be able to understand, and a list of vocabulary. *'''confuzate''': lost, confused (adj) *'''siniorina''': miss *'''vistadore''': vistor *'''nezitam direchini''': we need directions *'''nezitare''': to need *'''direchine''': direction *'''in realita''': really (lit. in reality) *'''tamben''': also *'''venis''': come (all of you) *'''m'scusi''': excuse me (to one person) *'''pudere''': to be able to (pudo=I can) *'''signa''': yes ==-I Stem Verbs== You already know how to conjugate regular -a and -e stem verbs. In this lesson you will learn about -i stem verbs, the third conjugation. Here is a sample -i stem verb, fully conjugated in the present indicative tense: *'''Somnire''': to sleep *'''Io somno''': I sleep *'''Tu somnei''': you (familiar) sleep *'''Ele/ela/vusse somni''': he/she/you (formal) sleeps/sleep *'''Noi somnim''': we sleep *'''Voi somnis''': you (plural) sleep *'''Eli/elae somnie''': they sleep So, simply remove the infinitive ending and add '''-o/-ei/-i/-im/-is/-ie'''. Here are some other -i stem verbs: ===Additional Verbs=== -a stem *'''funziare''': to work *'''cegrare''': to close *'''caglentare''': to heat -e stem *'''aprendere''': to learn *'''attendere''': to attend *'''videre''': to see -i stem: *'''cognire''': to think *'''pidire''': to ask for *'''venire''': to come ==Describing Location and Origin== To speak of your location, use a simple formula. To speak of origin, you will learn a new irregular verb, and a new preposition, '''di'''. '''Di''' means "of" or "from", and is used in possession as well as location. For example: *'''al ava di Ione''': Ione's bird (lit., the bird of Ione) *'''il cane di Iulia''': Iulia's dog (lit., the dog of Iulia) *'''il fele di Rome''': Rome's cat (lit., the cat of Rome) ===Location=== The formula for location is as follows: [subject pronoun]+'''stare'''+'''in'''+location. The subject pronoun is largely unnecessary, but you must use a conjugated form of '''stare in''' and the location. For example: *'''Io stoi in Zergattum''': I am in Zergattum. *'''Stai in Torine''': You are in Torine *'''Stam noi in Grenobela?''': Are we in Grenobela? *'''Signa, stam in Grenobela''': Yes, we are in Grenoble ===Sere=== To talk about origin, you will need to use a new verb: '''sere''', another verb for "to be. '''Sere''' describes qualities, time, and origin. It is conjugated as follows: *'''Sere''': to be *'''Io evo''': I am *'''Tu eves''': you (familiar) are *'''Ele/ela/vusse es''': he/she is *'''Noi sovom''': we are *'''Voi sovos''': you (plural) are *'''Eli/elae sovoe''': they are ===Origin=== To describe your origin, use the following formula: [subject pronoun]+'''sere'''+'''di'''+origin. The subject pronoun is mostly unnecessary, but '''sere di''' is key. For example: *'''Evo di Grenobela''': I am from Grenobela *'''Ela es di Torine''': She is from Torine *'''Di ube sovos?''': Where are you all from? ('''ube'''="where") *'''Noi sovom di Zergattum''': We are from Zergattum ==Exercises== ===Exercise I=== Translate the following from Carune to English: *1) '''Io stoi in Zergattum.''' *2) '''Eves tu di Grenobela?''' *3) '''Pudei aiudare''' (aiudare=to help) *4) '''Ube stai?''' *5) '''Evo di Londone''' (Londone=London) ===Exercise II=== Translate the following from English to Carune: *1) I am from Torine. *2) I am in Grenobela. *3) Can you walk? *4) Excuse me, are you from Zergattum? *5) I attend classes. (class=il clase) ===Exercise III=== Answer the following questions in Carune. *1) '''Comi stai?''' (comi=how) *2) '''Di ube essei?''' *3) '''Ube stai?''' *4) '''M'scusi, essei tu di Milane?''' ===Exercise IV=== You thought it wasn't going to be here, didn't you. :P Conjugate each of these verbs in all forms: *1) Concibire (to conceive) *2) Criere (to believe) *3) Prepare (to prepare) ==Next== *[[Carune|Top]] *[[Carune Lesson 2|Back]] *[[Carune Lesson 4|Forward]] Carune Lesson 4 2246 8654 2006-04-21T22:11:44Z Sectori 48 In [[Carune Lesson 3|Lesson 3]] you learned to conjugate regular -i stem verbs in Carune. In this lesson, we will discuss -o stem verbs, such as '''amare''' and '''collere''', as well as the irregular verb '''avere'''. You will also learn how to conduct yourself in a restaurant. ==Dialogue== Ione, Rome, and Iulia from the last lesson have become friends. To practice their Carune, the trio go out for lunch after the presentation at the Art Museum. ===Carune=== *Michale: M'scusis, siniori, Siniora, mi iamo Michale, e zoi a stare il tue cameradore hoi. Queres bevidae? *Rome: No savo qua quera. Iulia? *Iulia: Um...me gustaria aqua, per favore. *Michale: Aqua, bene. E voi, siniori? *Ione: Quali tipi di refresci si tene? *''MIchale lista i refresci.'' *Ione: Bene, me gustaria Coca-cola, per favore. *Rome: Me pude traere Espraite? *Michale: Bene, bene. Uni momenti, siniori! ===Traduzione (Translation)=== *Michale: Excuse me, sirs, miss, my name is Michale, and I am going to be your waiter today. Do you want drinks? *Rome: I don't know what I want. Iulia? *Iulia: Um...I would like water, please. *Michale: Water, sure. And you, sirs? *Ione: What types of soda do you have? *''Michale lists the sodas.'' *Ione: Well, I would like Coca-cola, please. *Rome: Can you bring me Sprite? *Michale: Good, good. A few minutes, sirs [and miss]! ===Grammar Notes=== This dialogue focuses more on colloquial speech. There are a number of phrases that you'll learn more about later. For now, just accept the approximate translations. *'''m'scusis''': excuse me (to more than one person) *'''mi iamo...''': I am called... *'''cameradore''': waiter *'''per favore''': please *'''No savo qua quera''': I don't know what I want *'''me gustaria...''': I would like... *'''aqua''': water *'''quali tipi di refresci si tene''': what types of soda do you have *'''refresce''': soda *'''Coca-cola''': Coca-cola *'''Espraite''': Sprite *'''me pude traere...''': can you bring me... *'''uni momenti''': a few minutes There are a few other things you should know. In the last lesson, you learned that '''m'scusi''' meant excuse me. There is another form that takes its place when talking to plural people: '''m'scusis'''. There is also a colloquial greeting, '''costa''', the equivalent of "what's up". ==-O Stem Verbs== You already know how to conjugate verbs in all of the basic stems. However, there are a small number of verbs of the -o stem. These verbs are *'''Amare''': to love *'''Io amo''': I love *'''Tu amoi''': you (familiar) love *'''Ele/ela/vusse amoz''': he/she/you (formal) loves/love *'''Noi amom''': we love *'''Voi amos''': you (plural) love *'''Eli/elae amoe''': they love So, simply remove the infinitive ending and add '''-o/-oi/-oz/-om/-os/-oe'''. ===Additional Verbs=== -a stem *'''funziare''': to work *'''cegrare''': to close *'''caglentare''': to heat -e stem *'''aprendere''': to learn *'''attendere''': to attend *'''videre''': to see -i stem: *'''cognire''': to think *'''pidire''': to ask for *'''venire''': to come -o stem: *'''collere''': to color *'''traere''': to bring *'''olere''': to smell ==Avere== '''Avere''' is the first auxiliary verb you will learn. Avere is used in many idiomatic expressions, and in crafting most of the compound tenses. First, you'll learn about to conjugate '''avere'''. In the present tense, it has only one irregular form, and is treated as an -e stem verb. It's the other tenses you need to worry about. *'''Avere''': to have (auxiliary) *'''Io avo''': I have (auxiliary) *'''Tu avei''': you (fam) have (auxiliary) *'''Ele/ela/vusse ave''': he/she/you (form) has/have (auxiliary) *'''Nio avem''': we have (auxiliary) *'''Vo avec''': you (plural) have (auxiliary) *'''Eli/elae aven''': they have (auxiliary) Here are some idiomatic phrases and their uses. *'''Avere sone''': to be sleepy (lit. to have sleepiness) *'''Avere ambra''': to be hungry *'''Avere tirsta''': to have thirst *'''Avere quo''': to have to (do something) '''Avere quo''' is a very common expression, so make sure to remember it. ==Exercises== ===Exercise I=== Translate the following from Carune to English: *1) '''Stai in Zergattum?''' *2) '''Amo al citta di Milane.''' (citta=city) *3) '''Me gustaria encontrare Ministore Primere Ivane di Torine.''' (encontrare=to meet) *4) '''M'scusi, me pude traere Coca-cola.''' *5) '''Avec quo somnire.''' ===Exercise II=== Translate the following from English to Carune: *1) I am from Grenobela. Where are you from? *2) Is she hungry? *3) She loves cats. *4) Excuse me, are you (plural) from Milane? *5) They are tired. ===Exercise III=== Answer the following questions in Carune. *1) '''M'scusi, me pude traere Espraite?''' *2) '''Avei sone?''' *3) '''Stai in al citta di Milane?''' *4) '''I love to sing?''' (chantare=to sing) ===Exercise IV=== Conjugate each of these verbs in all forms: *1) Collere (to color) *2) Olere (to smell) *3) Traere (to bring) ==Next== *[[Carune|Top]] *[[Carune Lesson 3|Back]] Italo-Carune 2247 8853 2006-05-07T01:41:20Z Sectori 48 {{WIP}} The Italo-Carune subfamily of the Ibero-Italic language family is the family that spawned, for example, [[Carune]] and [[Monzo]]. ==Common Features of Italo-Carune Languages== The most notable feature of these languages is the retension of the neuter [[gender]], lost in most other Romance languages. ===Eastern Carune Languages=== Mònzo and other central languages are, interestingly enough, more closely related to Spanish than Italian, Rumantsch, or the other languages in their vicinity. They lost the final -e's common in central verb infinitives, but gained a stress accent not found in the central languages. ===Central Carune Languages=== Carune and other eastern languages are, in contrast, much closer to Italian than the Iberian languages. They incorporate a large portion of vocabulary from Iberian languages, however. Monzo 2248 46373 2009-06-23T13:00:35Z Tropylium 756 /* Texts */ category cleanup Mònzo is an Italo-Carune language spoken in Monze, [[Carune (nation)|Carune]]. It is similar to Carune, but incorporates grave accents as stress markers because of the loss of some final letters. {{Infobox|name=Mònzo |pronounce=/m"Onts)o/ |tu=[[Alternate Earth]], modern era |species=Human |in=[[Carune (nation)|Carune]] |no=5 million |script=Roman |tree=[[Proto-Indo-European|Indo-European]]<br> &nbsp;Italic<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;Romance<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Italo-Western<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ibero-Italic<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Italo-Carune]]<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eastern Carune &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''[[Monzo]]''' |morph=Inflecting |ms=Fusional |wo=SVO |creator=[[User:Sectori|Sectori]] |date=December 2005}} ==Phonology/Orthography== Monzo has 29 phonemes. *Plosives: <tt>/p t k b d g/</tt> < p t ch b d g > *Fricatives: <tt>/f h s v/</tt> < f h s v > *Affricates: <tt>/ts) tS)/</tt> < z c > *Approximants: <tt>/l r\ L/</tt> < l r lh > *Nasals: <tt>/m n J/</tt> < m n nh > *Unstressed Vowels: <tt>/a e i o u/</tt> < a e i o u > *Stressed Vowels: <tt>/"A "E "I "O "U/</tt> < à è ì ò ù > *Labialized Plosives: <tt>/kw/</tt> < qu > *In diphthongs, /i/ becomes /j/ and /u/ becomes /w/ *Before /a o u/ <c> is /k/. ==Syntax and Stress== Stress falls on the penultimate syllable, unless the word ends in a vowel, in which case it lands on the ultimate syllable: *Mònzo: /m"Onts)o/ *Parlàr: /parl"Ar\/ *Che: /k"e/ *Grazie: /grats)j"e/ ==Subject Pronouns== Mònzo has nine subject pronouns. It distinguishes two singular forms, one formal and one informal. *'''Eo''': I *'''Tu''': you (informal) *'''Lho''': he *'''Lha''': she *'''Vùzu''': you (formal) *'''Nòze''': we *'''Vòze''': you (plural) *'''Lhi''': they (masculine) *'''Lhe''': they (feminine) ==Verbal Morphology: Indicative Mood Simple Tenses== There are four types of verbs: -a stem, -e stem, -i stem, and irregulars. The infinitive forms are -àr, -èr, -ìr, and -e respectively. To conjugate, remove them and add the correct endings. ===Present Indicative Conjugation=== This describes actions that happen in the present. Regular verbs conjugate as follows. *The '''eo''' form ends in -ò. *The '''tu''' form ends in -(stem vowel)s *The '''lho''', '''lha''', and '''vùzu''' forms end in -(stem vowel) *The '''nòze''' form ends in -(stem vowel)mo *The '''vòze''' form ends in -(stem vowel)z *The '''lhi''' and '''lhe''' forms end in -(stem vowel)n *Thus, parlàr conjugates as follows: parlò, parlas, parla, parlamo, parlaz, parlan *Savèr: savò, saves, save, savemo, savez, saven *Venìr: venò, venis, veni, venimo, veniz, venin *The irregular verb pusse (to be able to) conjugates like this: pò, pes, pe, pemo, pez, pen. ===Preterit Indicative Conjugation=== The preterit describes actions that have happened in the past. *The '''eo''' form ends in -è for -a stem verbs and -ì for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''tu''' form ends in -ast for -a stem verbs and -ist for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''lho''', '''lha''', and '''vùzu''' forms end in -u for all types of verbs. *The '''nòzo''' form ends in -àm for -a stem verbs and -ìm for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''vòzo''' form ends in -àste for -a stem verbs and -ìste for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''lhi''' and '''lhe''' forms end in -àtu and -ìtu for -e and -i stem verbs. *Parlàr: parlè, parlast, parlu, parlàm, parlàste, parlàtu. *Savèr: savì, savist, savu, savìm, savìste, savìtu *Venìr: venì, venist, venu, venìm, venìste, venìtu *Pusse: puì, puist, peu, puìm, puìste, puìtu ===Future Indicative Conjugation=== The future tense describes actions that have yet to occur. *The '''eo''' ending is -e. *The '''tu''' ending is -as. *The '''lho''', '''lha''', and '''vùzu''' ending is -i. *The '''nòzo''' ending is -emo *The '''vòzo''' ending is -az. *The '''lhi''' and '''lhe''' ending is -in *Parlàr: parlàre, parlàras, parlàri, parlàremo, parlàraz, parlàrin *Savèr: savère, savèras, savèri, savèrimo, savèraz, savèrin *Venìr: venìre, venìras, venìri, venìremo, venìraz, venìrin *Pusse: puère, puèras, puèri, puèremo, puèraz, puèrin ===Imperfect Indicative Conjugation=== The imperfect tense describes an action that occurred at an unspecified past time. In -a stem verbs, it is formed by removing the final -r, adding -v-, and then adding the normal present tense ending. If this would change the stress placement, the stress stays with the infinitive ending. In -e and -i stem forms it is conjugated as follows: *The '''eo''' form is -ià. *The '''tu''' form is -iàs. *The '''lho''', '''lha''', and '''vùzu''' form ends in -ià. *The '''nòzo''' form ends in -iàmo *The '''vòzo''' form ends in -iàz *The '''lhi''' and '''lhe''' form ends in -iàn *Parlàr: parlàvo, parlàvas, parlàva, parlàvamo, parlàvas, parlàvan *Savèr: savià, saviàs, savià, saviàmo, saviàz, saviàn *Venìr: venià, veniàs, venià, veniàmo, veniàz, veniàn *Pusse: puià, puiàs, puià, puiàmo, puiàz, puiàn ===Present Conditional Conjugation=== The present conditional describes things that would happen. It conjugates by adding certain endings to the full infinitive of a verb. When the stress of the added ending conflicts with the stress of the infinitive, the stress stays with the added ending. *The '''eo''' form is -ià. *The '''tu''' form is -iàs. *The '''lho''', '''lha''', and '''vùzu''' form is -ià. *The '''nòzo''' form is -iàmo *The '''vòzo''' form is -iàz *The '''lhi''' and '''lhe''' form is -iàn *Parlàr: parlarià, parlariàs, parlarià, parlariàmo, parlariàz, parlariàn. *Savèr: saverià, saveriàs, saverià, saveriàmo, saveriàz, saveriàn. *Venìr: venirià, veniriàs, venirià, veniriàmo, veniriàz, veniriàn. *Pusse: puerià, pueriàs, puerià, pueriàmo, pueriàz, pueriàn. ==Nominal Morphology: Gender and Number== In common with other [[Italo-Carune]] languages, Mònzo has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. *Masculine nouns end in '''-o''' in the singular. To make them plural, change '''-o''' to '''-i'''. For example: '''il bambino'''>'''lhi bambini''' ('''bambino'''=boy). *Feminine nouns end in '''-a''' in the singular. To make them plural, change '''-a''' to '''-e'''. For example: '''al bambina'''>'''lhe bambine''' ('''bambina'''=girl). *Neuter nouns end in '''-u''' in the singular. To make them plural, change '''-u''' to '''e'''. For example: '''el frasu'''>'''lhe frase''' ('''frasu'''=sentence). ==Direct Object Pronouns== Direct object pronouns reflect the immediate object of an action: I have '''the book''' to him.; She loves '''me'''. Mònzo nouns do not reflect the accusative (direct object) case, but pronouns do. The direct object pronouns are as follows. *'''Me''': me *'''Te''': you *'''Lho''': him *'''Lha''': her *'''Lhu''': it *'''Ne''': us *'''Ve''': you *'''Lhi''': them (masculine) *'''Lhe''': them (feminine or neuter) ==Indirect Object Pronouns== Indirect object pronouns reflect the indirect object of a sentence: She gave the book '''to me'''. Nouns in Mònzo do not reflect the dative (indirect object) case, but pronouns do. *'''Me''': to/for me *'''Te''': to/for you *'''Lo''': to/for him *'''La''': to/for her *'''Lu''': to/for it *'''Ne''': to/for us *'''Ve''': to/for you *'''Li''': to/for them (masculine) *'''Le''': to/for them (feminine or neuter) ==Prepositional Object Pronouns== Prepositional object pronouns reflect the object of a preposition: I am going away '''from her'''. Nouns in Mònzo do not decline to show the locative/ablative (prepositional object) case, but pronouns do. *'''Mi''': me *'''Ti''': you *'''Si''': him, her, it, them *'''Ni''': us *'''Vi''': you ==Reflexive Verbs/Pronouns== Reflexive verbs are the reflection of an action done by the speaker to the speaker: '''She''' gave the book '''to herself'''. There are two ways of dealing with reflexives: conjugate them, or leave them as infinitives. As conjugated verbs, reflexives look like normal verbs, but have a reflexive pronoun tacked onto the beginning. *'''Lavèr-si''': to wash oneself *'''Mi lavò''': I wash myself *'''Ti laves''': you wash yourself *'''Si lave''': he/she/you washes/wash him/her/yourself *'''Ni lavemo''': we wash ourselves *'''Vi lavez''': you wash yourselves *'''Si laven''': they wash themselves In their infinitive forms, reflexives look like normal verbs with a reflexive pronoun tacked on at the end. *'''Sentìr-si''': to feel *'''Sentìr-mi''': to feel (I) *'''Sentìr-ti''': to feel (you) *'''Sentìr-si''': to feel (he, she, it, they) *'''Sentìr-ni''': to feel (we) *'''Sentìr-vi''': to feel (you) The second type of reflexive is always used after a conjugated verb, never in place of one. ==Verbal Morphology: Irregular Verbs== You have already learned to conjugate one irregular verb: '''pusse''' (to be able to, can). This section will teach you a number of the most common irregular verbs. Irregular verbs end in '''-e''', and typically more specifically in '''-sse'''. The most common irregular verbs are as follows. *'''esse''': to be *Present Indicative: '''sò, es, è, somo, soz, son''' *Preterite Indicative: '''fuì, fuist, fuu, fuìm, fuìste, fuìtu''' *Future Indicative: '''sierre, sierras, sierri, sierremo, sierraz, sierrin''' *Imperfect Indicative: '''erò, eras, era, eramo, eraz, eran''' *Present Conditional: '''sierrià, sierriàs, sierrià, sierriàmo, sierriàz, sierriàn''' *Present Subjunctive: '''sa, sas, sa, samo, saz, san''' *Imperfect Subjunctive: '''fuìrra, fuìrras, fuìrra, fuìrramo, fuìrraz, fuìrran''' *'''avesse''': to have (auxiliary) *Present Indicative: '''hò, has, ha, hamo, haz, han''' *Preterite Indicative: '''hè, hast, hu, hàm, haste, hàtu''' *Future Indicative: hàre, '''hàras, hàri, hàremo, hàraz, hàrin''' *Imperfect Indicative: '''hià, hiàs, hià, hiàmo, hiàz, hiàn''' *Present Conditional: '''harià, hariàs, harià, hariàmo, hariàz, hariàn''' *Present Subjunctive: '''he, hes, he, hemo, hez, hen''' *Imperfect Subjunctive: '''hàrra, hàrras, hàrra, hàrramo, hàrraz, hàrran''' *'''ire''': to go *Present Indicative: '''vò, vas, va, vamo, vaz, van''' *Preterite Indicative: '''fuì, fuist, fuu, fuìm, fuìste, fuìtu''' *Future Indicative: '''ire, iras, iri, iremo, iraz, irin''' *Imperfect Indicative: '''ià, iàs, ià, iàmo, iàz, iàn''' *Present Conditional: '''irià, iriàs, irià, iriàmo, iriàz, iriàn''' *Present Subjunctive: '''ve, ves, ve, vemo, vez, ven''' *Imperfect Subjunctive: '''fuìrra, fuìrras, fuìrra, fuìrramo, fuìrraz, fuìrran''' *'''disse''': to say, tell *Present Indicative: '''dicio, dices, dice, dicemo, dicez, dicen''' *Preterite Indicative: '''dehì, dehist, dehu, dehìm, dehìste, dehìtu''' *Future Indicative: '''dehère, dehèras, dehèri, dehèremo, dehèraz, dehèrin''' *Imperfect Indicative: '''dià, diàs, dià, diàmo, diàz, diàn''' *Present Conditional: '''deherià, deheriàs, deherià, deheriàmo, deheriàz, deheriàn''' *Present Subjunctive: '''dicia, dicias, dicia, diciamo, diciaz, dician''' *Imperfect Subjunctive: '''dehìrra, dehìrras, dehìrra, dehìrramo, dehìrraz, dehìrran''' *'''pusse''': to be able to *Present Indicative: '''pò, pes, pe, pemo, pez, pen''' *Preterite Indicative: '''puì, puist, peu, puìm, puìste, puìtu''' *Future Indicative: '''puère, puèras, puèri, puèremo, puèraz, puèrin''' *Imperfect Indicative: '''puià, puiàs, puià, puiàmo, puiàz, puiàn''' *Present Conditional: '''puerià, pueriàs, puerià, pueriàmo, pueriàz, pueriàn''' *Present Subjunctive: '''pa, pas, pa, pamo, paz, pan''' *Imperfect Subjunctive: '''puìrra, puìrras, puìrra, puìrramo, puìrraz, puìrran''' *'''fare''': to make, do *Present Indicative: '''facio, faces, face, facemo, faces, facen''' *Preterite Indicative: '''fè, fast, fu, fàm, faste, fàtu''' *Future Indicative: '''fàre, fàras, fàri, fàremo, fàraz, fàrin''' *Imperfect Indicative: '''fià, fiàs, fià, fiàmo, fiàz, fiàn''' *Present Conditional: '''farià, fariàs, farià, fariàmo, fariàz, fariàn''' *Present Subjunctive: '''facie, facies, facia, faciemo, faciez, facien''' *Imperfect Subjunctive: '''fàrra, fàrras, fàrra, fàrramo, fàrraz, fàrran''' ==Verbal Morphology: Indicative Mood Compound Tenses== These are tenses that in English are formed by more than one verb: I have gone, I had gone, I will have gone, I am going to go, I would have gone; etc. To form these compound tenses, you will need, in many cases, the present and past participles. To form the present participle of a regular verb, remove the final -r and add -nd. This is equivalent to the English -ing form. To form the past participle of a regular verb, remove the final -r and add -d. This is equivalent to the English -ed form. ===Present Perfect Indicative Conjugation=== The present perfect is equivalent to English "I have done something". It is formed by placing the present indicative form of '''avesse''' before the past participle of a verb. *'''Me ha parlàd''': he has spoken to me *'''Hò savèd por muci anhi''': I have known for many years ===Pluperfect Indicative Conjugation=== The pluperfect is equivalent to English "I had done something". It is formed by placing the preterite indicative form of '''avesse''' before the past participle of a verb. *'''Me hu parlàd''': he had spoken to me *'''Hè savèd por muci anhi''': I had known for many years ===Present Progressive Indicative Conjugation=== The present progressive form is equivalent to English "I am doing something". It is formed by placing the present indicative form of '''esse''' before the present participle of a verb. *'''Me è parlànd''': he is speaking to me *'''Sò savènd''': I am knowing ===Future Perfect Indicative Conjugation=== The future perfect is equivalent to English "I will have done something". It is formed by placing the future indicative form of '''avesse''' before the past participle of a verb. *'''Me hàri parlàd''': he will have spoken to me *'''Hàre savèd por muci anhi''': I will have known for many years ===Simple Future Indicative Conjugation=== The simple future is equivalent to English "I am going to do something". It is formed by placing the present indicative form of '''ire''' before an infinitive verb. *'''Me va parlàr''': he is going to speak to me *'''Vò savèr por muci anhi''': I am going to know for many years ===Past Conditional Indicative Conjugation=== The past conditional is equivalent to English "I would have done something". It is formed by placing the present conditional form '''avesse''' before the past participle of a verb. *'''Me harià parlàd''': he would have spoken to me *'''Harià savèd por muci anhi''': I would have known for many years ===Imperfect Progressive Indicative Conjugation=== The imperfect progressive is equivalent to English "I was doing something". It is formed by placing the imperfect form of '''esse''' before the present participle of a verb. *'''Me era parlànd''': he was speaking to me *'''Erò savènd''': I was knowing ==Nominal Morphology: Articles== These are equivalent to English "the", "a", "an", and "some". The articles agree in gender and number with their accompanying nouns. *The masculine singular definite article is '''il'''. *The masculine plural definite article is '''lhi'''. *The feminine singular definite article is '''al'''. *The neuter singular definite article is '''el'''. *The feminine and neuter plural definite article is '''lhe'''. *The masculine singular indefinite article is '''un'''. *The masculine plural indefinite article is '''uni'''. *The feminine singular indefinite article is '''una'''. *The neuter singular indefinite article is '''unu'''. *The feminine and neuter plural indefinite article is '''une'''. ==Adjective Morphology: Gender and Number== Adjectives, like articles, must agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. Adjectives change their ending to reflect their gender and number. So '''felicho''' is the singular masculine form of "happy", and '''feliche''' is the plural feminine/neuter form of "happy". Here is '''felicho''' in all its forms. The endings it has are applicable to all adjectives. *The masculine singular form is '''felicho'''. *The masculine plural form is '''felichi'''. *The feminine singular form is '''felicha'''. *The neuter singular form is '''felichu'''. *The feminine and neuter plural form is '''feliche'''. ==Verbal Morphology: The Passive Voice== The passive voice is formed using a specific pattern. It is equivalent to English "something was done by me". Use this format for the passive voice. *[Patient noun]+'''esse'''+[past participle of main verb]+'''còmo''' (by)+[agent noun or prepositional object pronoun] ==Verbal Morphology: Subjunctive Mood Simple Tenses== The subjunctive mood (sometimes referred to as the conjunctive mood) is a grammatical mood of the verb that expresses wishes, commands (in subordinate clauses), emotion, possibility, judgment, necessity and statements that are contrary to fact.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjunctive_mood] ===Present Subjunctive Conjugation=== The present subjunctive is used in relative clauses wherever the present indicative would be used. The present subjunctive stem is the first person singular present indicative stem. It is equivalent to English "if I were to..." and "I may..." and similar constructions. *The '''eo''' form ending is -e for -a stem verbs and -a for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''tu''' form ending is -es for -a stem verbs and -as for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''lho''', '''lha''', and '''vùzu''' form ending is -e for -a stem verbs and -a for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''nòzo''' form ending is -emo for -a stem verbs and -amo for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''vòzo''' form ending is -ez for -a stem verbs and -az for -e and -i stem verbs. *The '''lhi''' and '''lhe''' form ending is -en for -a stem verbs and -an for -e and -i stem verbs. *Parlàr: parle, parles, parle, parlemo, parlez, parlen *Savèr: sava, savas, sava, savamo, savaz, savan *Venìr: vena, venas, vena, venamo, venaz, venan *Pusse: pa, pas, pa, pamo, paz, pan ===Imperfect Subjunctive Conjugation=== The imperfect subjunctive is used wherever the imperfect or preterite indicative would be used in a relative clause. The imperfect subjunctive stem is the third person plural form of the preterite indicative, without the final -tu. *The '''eo''' form ending is -rra. *The '''tu''' form ending is -rras. *The '''lho''', '''lha''', and '''vùzu''' form ending is -rra. *The '''nòzo''' form ending is -rramo. *The '''vòzo''' form ending is -rraz. *The '''lhi''' and '''lhe''' form ending is -rran. *Parlàr: parlàrra, parlàrras, parlàrra, parlàrramo, parlàrraz, parlàrran *Savèr: savìrra, savìrras, savìrra, savìrramo, savìrraz, savìrran *Venir: venìrra, venìrras, venìrra, venìrramo, venìrraz, venìrran *Pusse: puìrra, puìrras, puìrra, puìrramo, puìrraz, puìrran ==Verbal Morphology: Imperative Mood== The imperative mood is used to give commands. While Central Carune languages do not distinguish between positive and negative commands, other than by adding the verb negator before the command, Eastern Carune languages do. Commands are very simple in Mònzo. Affirmative commands (do something) are formed by taking the present subjunctive form of a verb. Negative commands (don't do anything) are formed by taking the imperfect subjunctive form of a verb. Object pronouns for positive imperatives are added to the end of the imperative in this order: reflexive, direct object, indirect object. Objects for negative imperatives precede the verb as normal. Attaching an object pronoun places a stress accent on the final vowel of the basic imperative, or in the case of the '''nòzo''' form, the penultimate vowel. *'''Parlème!''': speak to me! ('''vùzu''') *'''Non me approchàrras''': do not approach me! ('''tu''') *'''Vemo!''': let's go! ('''nòzo''') ==Contractions== Mònzo, like many languages, incorporates some contractions. In Mònzo, the singular definite article contracts with the prepositions '''in''' (in, on), '''a''' (to, at), and '''de''' (of, from). *'''in'''+'''il'''='''nil''' *'''in'''+'''al'''='''nal''' *'''in'''+'''el'''='''nel''' *'''a'''+'''il'''=al''' *'''a'''+'''al'''='''al''' *'''a'''+'''al'''='''al''' *'''de'''+'''il'''='''del''' *'''de'''+'''al'''='''del''' *'''de'''+'''el'''='''del''' ==Pronominative Morphology: Nonpersonal Pronouns== Mònzo, like other Carune languages, incorporates a number of non-personal pronouns in three groups: interrogative (who), locative (here), and relative (that, which). ===Interrogative Pronouns=== Interrogative pronouns indicate a question. In English, they are: who, what, where, when, why, how, how much/many, and which. *'''Che''': what *'''Quu''': who *'''Dove''': where *'''Quande''': when *'''Per che''': why *'''Quante''': how much *'''Quale''': which ===Locative Pronouns=== Locative pronouns describe place. The locative pronouns in English are "here" and "there". In Mònzo, they are. *'''Qui''': here *'''Alha''': there ===Relative Pronouns=== The relative pronouns join a relative or subordinate clause to a main clause. The relative pronouns in English are that/which, who, what, where, when, and why. '''Quo''' (that, which) also means "because", so pay attention to the context in which it is used. *'''Quo''': that/which *'''Chu''': who *'''Que''': what *'''Dovè''': where *'''Chande''': when *'''Perque''': why ==Verbal Morphology: Subjunctive Mood Compound Tenses== Like the indicative mood compound tenses, these are a combination of a verb and a participle, though these are in the subjunctive. ===Present Perfect Subjunctive Conjugation=== The present perfect subjunctive is used where the indicative present perfect would be used, but only in relative or subordinate clauses. The present perfect subjunctive is a combination of the present subjunctive of '''avesse''' followed by the past participle of a verb. *'''Me he parlàd''': he may have spoken to me *'''He savèd por muci anhi''': I may have known for many years ===Pluperfect Subjunctive Conjugation=== The pluperfect subjunctive is used where the indicative present perfect would be used, but only in relative or subordinate clauses. The pluperfect subjunctive is a combination of the imperfect subjunctive of '''avesse''' followed by the past participle of a verb. *'''Me hàrra parlàd''': he might have spoken to me *'''Hàrra savèd por muci anhi''': I might have known for many years ==Verbal Morphology: Idiomatic Verbs== There are a number of idiomatic verbs, mostly using the irregular verbs '''avesse''' and '''fare'''. ===With Avesse=== '''Avesse''' is used in a number of cases where English uses "to be". Some of the most common uses are: *'''avesse de''': to have to [do something] *'''avesse sonha''': to be sleepy *'''avesse habra''': to be hungry *'''avesse tirssa''': to be thirsty ===With Fare=== Idioms with '''fare''' typically relate to the weather. Here are a few: *'''facie fresca''': it's cold *'''facie caldo''': it's warm *'''facie solha''': it's sunny ==Texts== [[Category:Romance conlangs]] [[Category:Alternate Earth]] [[Category:A posteriori conlangs]] Main Page/Carune 2249 45160 2009-05-04T12:34:57Z Melroch 31 Typo [[Category:Main Page in other languages]] <center>Hodium esse {{CURRENTDAYNAME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</center> {| cellspacing=5 width=100% |align="left" valign="top" style="background:#f3f3f3; padding:8px" colspan="2"| Benveniti a '''FrathWiki''', une vicche ubi alguene pude presentare a suae crelinguae e creculturae, e una proheta para collectare informazione sobre soggeti relevanti a crelinguant, creculturant, e cremondant.

Kramm). == Culture == The speakers of Charos S'fik, the Hoka, are living majorly on Hokkaido (Japan's northern-most island), but a good amount of them also live on Honshû (the Japanese main island), and there mostly in the Kantô region. A small amount is still living on the Russian island Sakhalin north of Hokkaido.<br> Their name stems back from the late 16th century, when they first made contact with westerners (most likely Portuguese) who named them "Hocaidoes". They eventually adapted the name for themselves, but shortened it to "Hoka". == Origin == When analyzing their language, and also judging from their original Phoenician-derived script, it seems most likely that the Hoka were originally tribes coming from today's Germany and Scandinavia, as you can still find Germanic-sounding words in their vocabulary. From their original habitat, they moved more and more eastwards, crossing all of Russia on the way (which had quite an impact on their language), always looking for a good place to stay. They eventually set over to Sakhalin, and from there to Hokkaido, where they finally started settling down, while some moved on to Honshû and settled mostly in the Kantô region. Their language became strongly influenced by Japanese over time. == Modernisation == Starting with the Meiji Restauration of 1868, the Modernisation also reached the Hoka and eventually gave rise to Modern Charos S'fik.<br> The new script of Modern Charos S'fik, based upon the old handwriting script, was influenced by the intensive trade and relations with Korea, which also had an strong impact on their language. Also, many started moving over to Korea. == Grammar == Sentences have '''SOV''' order.<br> All words consist of '''syllables''' which are composed like this:<br> * initial consonant (which can be the null-consonant) * vowel (which can be the null-vowel after the word-initial consonants '''ch''', '''f''', '''s''') * final consonant (doesn't always occur at the end of a word, omitted before '''r''') == Script == [[image:Modern-Tifet-script.png|left|thumb|150px|Modern Tifet Script]] The Modern Charos S'fik script evolved from the original Tifet handwriting script.<br> In its creation, the Korean Hangul alphabet was taken as a model for the vowels and the syllable stacking. <br style="clear:both;" /> == Phonology == The Phonology has changed somewhat from the traditional version. ===Alphabet=== This table presents the alphabet in its proper order.<br> It is named '''chakra''', after its first two consonant letters. {|border=1 !

If consonants are followed by any of the '''ja''' vowels (ja, jä, je...), some change their pronunciation: * ch+ja -> cja [ʝa] * kh+ja -> cha [ça] * kr+ja -> kkha [kxa] * k+ja -> kja [kça] * n+ja -> nja [ɲa] * t+ja -> tja [tja] * d+ja -> dja [dja] * f+ja -> fj [fja] * p+ja -> pj [pja] * s+ja -> sj [sja] The consonants m, j, r, l, sh, h cannot be followed by a '''ja''' vowel. == Babel text == '''Note:''' * The apostrophe (') is used in order to indicate syllable boundaries. After a single consonant it means that the consonant has to be pronounced long (consonant-only syllable).<br> <br> [[image:charos-s-fik-genesis11.png|left|thumb|150px|Babel text]] '''Bereshit''' (Book of Genesis) ''Chapter 11, 1-9'' * '''1''' Chik'im choncjeu sekä han s'parakh sjam chot'op fe tja ita. * '''2''' Tjon e in fut'esh ch'mas, inkhan Shin'ara ni pjoncje tja tjarof okh tä shikmin tja ch'mas. * '''3''' Krot-ul själ ni tja malha: "Jo f'rokhot!

Long vowels are indicated in romanization by either doubling or the use of a macron (e.g., both ii and ī are used). Macron cannot be used if the two vowels belong to different morphemes, e.g., the plural suffix -i added to a noun ending in -i will be written -ii and never -ī. /i/ and /u/ are both pronounced [e] and [o] (and romanized that way) in closed syllables. There are two diphthongs, /aj/ and /aw/ == Syllables == Legal onsets in Kasshian are 0, consonant, and consonant followed by a glide or liquid. Legal codas are fricative, N (assimilates in place), L, or gemination of the following consonant. Geminate consonants may not be followed by /l/ or glides. Where inflectional morphology would otherwise create a geminate followed by l, y, or w, no gemination occurs. The marginal phonemes ''ch'', ''j'', ''ç'', must be followed by vowels while ''ng'' must be preceded by a vowel and cannot be geminated. In addition, ''ch'', ''j'' and ''ç'' can only be geminated if an /i/ follows. W and Y must be followed by vowels, and may not be geminated. Ç is an odd phoneme in Kasshian. Historically, it was derived from /kj/ and /ki/ (although later sound-changes have created new /kj/ and /ki/). In the modern language, /çi/, when unstressed, preceded by a vowel, and either word-final or followed by a voiceless consonant, becomes /ç/, which is pronounced as a single mora, treated as a coda. When word-initial and followed by a voiceless consonant, it also often simply /ç/. Thus, ''çitauçi'' may be pronounced /çtawç/ == Stress == Stress is regularly on the penultimate mora. Long vowels count as two morae, and, as mentioned above, word-final ç counts as a single mora. = Grammar = == Nouns == === Gender === Kasshian has seven nouns, marked by a prefix, which has both singular and plural forms. Nouns in dictionaries generally give both the singular and plural forms, due to the difficulty of predicting the correct plural form of a gender-prefix, the result of several sound-changes between Common Kasshi and Classical Kasshian. *Gender I (begins with ch-, tr-, or p- [very rare]) - Female human or supernatural being *Gender II (n- or m-) - Male human or supernatural being *Gender III (s- or sh-) - Epicene human or supernatural being (including hermaphroditic beings) *Gender IV (ç-, k-, or qu-) - Animals associated with people (domesticated animals, common pests, some animals with symbolic or religious significance) *Gender V (l-) - Other animal *Gender VI (w-, u-, or o-) - Other animate (includes social institutions) *Gender VII (p-) - Inanimate P- for Gender I nouns is extremely rare. The distinction between genders VI and VII is somewhat arbitrary, as is the distinction between IV/V and V/VI. ==== Pluralization Patterns ==== There are a number of common patterns of pluralizing the gender-prefix. Asterisk indicates gemination of the following consonant. C indicates s, f, z, v, l, n, or m and in the singular forms is always followed by another consonant other than l, r, y, or w. Sometimes there are changes in C between the singular and plural, s -> t, f -> p, z -> d, v -> b. There are a total of 12 patterns of pluralization, but not all patterns are distinguished in each gender, each gender distinguishes from 9 to 11 patterns. Many nouns can switch between genders, especially between I/II/III and IV/V. A noun always remains in the same pattern when changing gender. For example: the noun ''sumataç'', pl. ''sommataçii'' falls into pattern I because of the su-/so*- alternation. Thus, a female slave is chimataç/chemmataçii and a male slave namataç/nammataçii (as pattern I is marked by chi-/che*- for gender I and na-/na*- for gender II). The noun ''solmyava''/''sollamyavai'' (fisher) falls into pattern III because of the soC-/so*Ca- alternation (C in this case being l). Thus, a female fisher replaces soC-/so*Ca- with cheC-/che*Ca- and a male with naC-/na*Ca- thus ''chelmyava''/''chellamyavai'' and ''nalmyava''/''nallamyavai''. ''Çika''/''çifikai'' (fish, edible) falls into pattern VI/VII (merged patterns) because of the ç-/çif- alternation. Thus fish in gender V (which indicates non-edible fish) becomes ''lika''/''lafikai'' (ç-/çif- replaced by l-/laf-) The final column is the ''incorporated form'', the form used when a noun is incorporated into a verb. The /f/ in the plural forms of genders IV-VII becomes /v/ before voiced obstruents and nasals. {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="bordertable" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- align="center" | |colspan=2|'''Gender I''' |colspan=2|'''Gender II''' |colspan=2|'''Gender III''' |colspan=2|'''Gender IV''' |colspan=2|'''Gender V''' |colspan=2|'''Gender VI''' |colspan=2|'''Gender VII''' |rowspan=2|'''Incorporated''' |- align="center" | |Singular |Plural |Singular |Plural |Singular |Plural |Singular |Plural |Singular |Plural |Singular |Plural |Singular |Plural |- align="center" |'''Pattern I''' |rowspan=2|chi- |che*- |rowspan=2|na- |na*- |rowspan=2|su- |so*- |rowspan=2|çi- |rowspan=2|çef- |rowspan=2|la- |rowspan=2|laf- |rowspan=2|wa- |rowspan=2|waf- |rowspan=2|pi- |rowspan=2|pef- |rowspan=2|Ø |- align="center" |'''Pattern II''' |chi- |na- |su- |- align="center" |'''Pattern III''' |cheC- |che*Ca- |naC- |na*Ca- |soC- |so*Ca- |çeC- |çefCa- |laC- |lafCa- |waC- |wafCa- |peC- |pefCa- |C-/Ca-³ |- align="center" |'''Pattern IV''' |rowspan=4|ch- |chily- |ny- |naly- |sh- |suly- |rowspan=4|ç- |çify- |ly- |lafy- |uy- |wafy- |rowspan=4|py- |pify- |y- |- align="center" |'''Pattern V''' |chell- |rowspan=3|n- |nall- |rowspan=4|sw-¹ |soll- |çeff- |rowspan=3|l- |laff- |rowspan=4|w-² |waff- |peff- |l-<sup>4</sup> |- align="center" |'''Pattern VI''' |tr- |nr- |sr- |rowspan=2|çif- |rowspan=2|laf- |rowspan=3|waf- |rowspan=3|pif- |rowspan=2|Ø |- align="center" |'''Pattern VII''' |ch- |n- |sw-¹ |- align="center" |'''Pattern VIII''' |p- |chilw- |m- |nalw- |sulw- |qu- |çif- |lw- |laf- |p- |w- |- align="center" |'''Pattern IX''' |rowspan=2|tr- |rowspan=2|chell- |rowspan=2|nr- |rowspan=2|nall- |rowspan=2|sr- |rowspan=2|soll- |rowspan=2|kl- |çeff- |rowspan=2|lal- |laff- |rowspan=2|wal- |waff- |rowspan=2|pl- |peff- |rowspan=2|l- |- align="center" |'''Pattern X''' |çifl- |lafl- |wafl- |pifl- |- align="center" |'''Pattern XI''' |rowspan=2|chī- |chekka- |rowspan=2|nā- |nakka- |rowspan=2|sū- |sokka- |rowspan=2|çī- |çekka- |rowspan=2|lā- |lafka- |rowspan=2|wā- |wafka- |rowspan=2|pī- |pefka- |ka- |- align="center" |'''Pattern XII''' |chegga- |nagga- |sogg- |çevga- |lavga- |wavga- |pevga- |ga- |} ¹Note: /w/ is dropped before u- or o- initial roots. This means that Patterns V-VII may be realized as su-/sollu- (rather than *swu-/sollu-), su-/sru- and su-/su- or so-/sollo-, so-/sro- and so-/so-. Pattern VIII can never have u-/o- initial roots. Genders I and II in such cases follow the same pattern as for sw. Thus chu-/chellu-, etc. This makes Patterns II and VII difficult to distinguish in some gender III nouns. Pattern II always has a consonant followed by l, r, w, or y, or the consonants sh, zh, ch, j, or ç at the start of the root. If it does not start with one of those, then it's Pattern VII. If it does, then it could be either II or VII, but is more likely to be II. ²w- is dropped before u- or o- ³C- after vowel-final prefixes, Ca- otherwise <sup>4</sup>l- dropped after vowel-final prefixes Note that in some cases, there is no change in the prefix between singular and plural. Also, note that for genders I and II, pattern II is partly merged with pattern VII. Thus, if you know that a gender II noun has a na-/na- pattern, you can't be sure if gender I is chi-/chi- or cha-/cha-. Likewise, a chi-/chi- noun could be ni-/ni- or na-/na- in gender II. Same caviats found in footnote 1 apply. === Number Suffixes === Plural is marked in both the gender prefix and in a suffix to the root. The basic suffix is -i, but there are several complications *-tu, -du, -nu, -pu, -bu, -mu, -fu, and -vu usually become -pi, -bi, -mi, -pi, -bi, -mi, -fi, and -vi *Words ending in ''ai'' or ''au'' don't change for plural. See [[#Stem-Changes|below]] for further complications === Cases === Case suffixes follow the plural suffix, if any. Note, /i/ and /u/ become [e] and [o] in closed syllables ==== True Cases ==== *Absolutive - No suffix **Absolutive is used for the subject of an intransitive verb or the object of a transitive verb *Ergative -(a)l **Ergative is used for the subject of a transitive verb *Genetive -(a)f *Dative -(a)z *Instrumental -ni **Used to indicate the instrument used to perform an action, also used in causative constructions to indicate the person made to do something (e.g., "The woman made ''her servant'' clean the house") *Benefactive -na **Used to indicate the person ''for whom'' an action is performed *Commitative -n(an) **Indicates that an action is done ''together with'' a noun ==== Pseudo-Cases ==== These cases are formed by clitics added to the noun. They do not affect stress, nor do adjectives agree in these. *Locative -av **Takes genetive. Indicates the location of an action, generally indicates ''on the surface of'' *Ablative -ta **Takes genetive. Indicates motion away from an object, generally ''from the surface of'' *Allative -za **Takes dative. Motion towards, generally ''on to the surface of'' *Perlative -ni **Takes instrumental. Motion ''over the surface of'' *Inessive -ka **Takes genetive. Indicates ''inside of'' *Elative -tu **Takes genetive. ''Out of'' *Illative -ba **Takes dative. ''Into'' *Perillative -bav **Takes instrumental. ''Through'' *Circumlocative -ji **Takes commitative. ''In the vicinity of'' *Circumablative -ku **Takes genetive. ''From the vicinity of'' *Circumallative -ma **Takes dative. ''To the vicinity of'' *Circumperlative -man **Takes instrumental. ''motion near'' === Stem-Changes === In addition to the plural change listed above *Stop/Fricative alterations - some nouns end in a fricative in the singular, and replace the fricative with a stop (s/t, z/d, f/p, v/b) in the plural and before the genetive and dative suffixes, e.g., ''pyalef'' "path", ''pifyalipi'' "paths", ''pyalipaf'' "of a path" *Gemination - some consonant-final nouns geminate the final consonant before the plural suffix, e.g., ''wamushan'' "dawn", ''wafmushanni'' "dawns" *Hidden Consonants - Nouns that end in a vowel in the singular, and add a geminated fricative in the plural, and a non-geminated fricative before the dative and genetive suffixes, e.g., ''trāna'' "friend", ''trānasaf'' "of a friend", ''chellānasshi'' "friends" *A/i - Some nouns that end in -a drop the a before the plural, e.g., ''lanidana'' "a food animal", ''lafnidani'' *Nouns ending in long vowels fall into one of four classes **Class I - long vowel changed to short vowel + k before plural suffix and genetive/dative suffixes. Thus, -ā -> -aç (plural), -akaf (singular genetive) **Class II, III, and IV shorten the vowel before the plural suffix, undergo different changes before genetive and dative suffixes ***Class II: ā, ī, ū -> ag, ig, ug ***Class III: ā, ī, ū -> a, i, u ***Class IV: ā, ī, ū -> ā, ya, wa *Also, keep in mind the [[#Vowels|allophonic]] nature of the i/e and u/o pairs, and the s/sh and z/zh pairs. A root that ends in oC will become uCi, for example, "man", ''nrakos'', "men", ''nallakushi'' A number of irregular alterations also exist == Verbs == Verbs can take several prefixes and suffixes, in the following pattern *Voice-Tense-Conditional-'''Verb'''-Auxilary-'''Personal'''-'''Aspect''' === Voice === There are five voices in Kasshian *Anti-Passive S-/Su-/Sw-/So- **Anti-passive is used to promote an ergative noun to absolutive. The absolutive is either dropped or changed to instrumental, and any instrumental noun becomes perlative *Reflexive K-/Ku-/Kw-/Ko- *Dative-Object P-/Pa- **Dative-object is used to promote a ''dative'' noun to absolutive. Absolutive and instrumental make the same changes as in anti-passive *Reciprocative Tan- Active is marked with no prefix === Tense === *Past F(a)- *Future Nai-/Ny- === Conditional === *If Vi- *Contrafactual Gwa- **Indicates an "if" statement that is ''contrary to fact'' *Then Os-/Us- === Personal Suffixes === {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="bordertable" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- align="center" | | '''Singular''' | '''Dual''' | '''Paucal''' | '''Plural''' |- align="center" | '''1<sup>st</sup>''' | -u | -*of, -lof, -uf | -tai | -ni |- align="center" | '''2<sup>nd</sup>''' | -fen | -f(i)ni | colspan=2| -f(i)na |- align="center" | '''3<sup>rd</sup> rational''' | -tas | -chi | colspan=2| -tan |- align="center" | '''3<sup>rd</sup> non-rational''' | -l, -*a, -la | -li, -*i, -i | colspan=2| -n(a) |} Verbs agree with the noun in the absolutive. "Rational" means referring to a human or spirit, thus generally genders I, II, or III, while non-Rational refers to any other noun, including all body-parts, some of which normally take the gender of their possessor. Certain stem-changes occur when personal suffixes are added. *Stop-final verbs - these verbs end in -ku, -tu, -pu, -gu, -du, or -bu in the 1st person singular. In the 1st dual, 3rd non-rational singular and 3rd non-rational dual, the stop is kept, and the ''l'' form is used in the suffixes. ''t'' and ''d'' are also retained before endings beginning with ''t'' and ''ch'' In all other persons, ''t'', ''p'', ''d'' and ''b'' are changed to ''s'', ''f'', ''z'', ''v'', while ''k'' and ''g'' are dropped, with the preceding vowel lengthened. *-chi becomes -shi after an ''s'', -zhi after a ''z''. When added to a verb ending in -t, the consonant and suffix merge to become -cchi, while when added to a verb ending in -d, they merge to -jji. *The t-initial suffixes change to /d/ after a verb ending in ''d'' *The f-initial suffixes change to /v/ after a verb ending in ''v'' *Vowels in parentheses are lost after verbs ending in vowels *Asterisk indicates gemination. The presence or absence of gemination in a particular verb must be learned *After stems ending in vowels, the l-initial suffixes (except -la) drop the l. === Aspect === *Prospective -ma/-n **Indicates that an action is ''about to'' begin or ''was about to'' begin, generally with the implication that the action is due to intentional preparation *Inceptive -tu **Indicates the start of an action *Non-Punctual -ç(i) **Non-punctual indicates that an action takes place over a period of time, rather than in an instant *Punctual (no suffix) **Punctual indicates that an action takes place in an instant, or in a brief period of time viewed as an instant. Combined with the present tense, it indicates that an action has just happened *Habitual -v(a) **Habitual indicates that an action is done frequently and with some regularity, but not necessarily at the reference moment *Cessative -l(a) (-ra after s) **The inverse of inceptive, indicates the completion of an action *Perfective -nu **Indicates that an action has been completed, and that the result of the action is still in effect Notes: *The personal suffixes -fen and -tan merge with the aspect suffix -la to become -fenna and -tanna *The personal suffix -tas merges with -çi to become -tasshi *The second form of the suffixes is used after vowels (''u'' and ''i'' become ''o'' and ''e''). *When combining third person non-sentient singular and plural with the prospective, non-punctual, habitual, or cessative, it is the aspect suffix that loses its vowel (e.g., -lav, not -lva) == Clitic Pronouns == Clitic pronouns may be added to nouns and verbs. They are placed immediately after the inflected verb, but without affecting stress. For nouns, they are placed immediately after the noun itself to indicate inalienable possession (affecting stress), and after the inflected noun for alienable possession (not affecting stress).

Third person pronouns take standard gender prefixes *1st person singular: Trī/Nrī *1st person dual: Chellespi/Nallespi/Sollespi *1st person paucal: Chellesshi/Nallesshi/Sollesshi *1st person plural: Chempi/Nampi/Sompi *2nd person singular: Chā/Nā *2nd person dual: Chevvaibi/Navvaibi/Sovvaibi *2nd person plural: Chempā/Nampā/Sompā *3rd person singular: Eshna *3rd person plural: Eshni *3rd person reflexive singular: Jītal *3rd person reflexive plural: Jītali == Adjectives == Adjectives are inflected like nouns. They are placed after the noun and agree in number, gender, and case. In predicate position, they take the prefix sa-, and become verbs meaning "to be X", e.g., ''chika'' "old", ''sachika'' "to be old" === Gender === Like nouns, adjectives take prefixes to indicate gender. Where semantically appropriate, therefore, adjectives can have one of 14 gender/number-prefixes, using the same [[#Pluralization Patterns|patterns]] as nouns. Adjectives are commonly given in dictionaries in gender I (or gender VI if gender I is not semantically appropriate), with both the singular and plural given, with gender IV plural also listed when the gender I plural does not suffice to determine the correct pattern (i.e., gender I merges Patterns IX and X which are distinguished for genders IV-VII, and sometimes merges Patterns II and VII). === Number Suffixes === Like nouns, plurality is also marked by the suffix -i. The same complications as for nouns apply to adjectives === Comparison === Comparison is indicated with an infix, that varies depending on the adjective *For adjective beginning with CVC-, -tu- is added immediately after the first vowel (''chika'' - old, ''chituka''' - older) *For adjectives beginning with CVV- (Long vowels count as VV), -p- is added after the first vowel (''zhīku'' - beautiful, ''zhipiku'' - more beautiful) *For adjectives beginning with Cl-, -atu- after the first consonant (''mlichi'' - thick, ''matulichi'' - thicker) *For adjectives beginning with CC-, -tu- after the first consonant (''nvau'' - clean, ''ntuvau'' - cleaner) The object of comparison takes the ellative case === Superlative === Superlative is also indicated with an infix, varying accordign to the adjective *For adjectives beginning with CV-, -la- is added after the vowel (''chika'' - old, ''chilaka'' - oldest) *For adjectives beginning with CC- or Cl-, -la- is added after the consonant, -la- becomes -ra- after ''t'', ''d'', ''n'', ''s'' or ''z'' (''mlichi'' - thick, ''mlalichi'' - thickest) = Syntax = Basic word order is VSO, with modifiers consistently following their head. == Verb Types == There are 9 main categories of verbs, determined by the cases their arguments take *Standard Verbs **Intransitive **Transitive **Ditransitive *Experiential Verbs (emotions, senses) **Experiencer-Subject ***Experiencer is in the '''ergative''', source of experience is in the '''absolutive''' **Experiencer-Object ***Experiencer is in the '''dative''', source of experience is in the '''absolutive''' **Experiencer-Equal ***Experiencer is in the '''inessive''', source of experience is in the '''absolutive''' **Some verbs can call into differing experiential categories, with different connotations; experiencer-subject tends to connote a degree of control, while experiencer-object tends to indicate lack of control. Experiencer-equal tends to connote a state *Verbs of Mental Action **Mental Action I ***Person performing the action is in the '''ergative''', recpient of action is in the '''absolutive''' (e.g., ''dakas'' "to ignore", person doing the ignoring is ergative, person being ignored is absolutive) **Mental Action II ***Agent in teh '''dative''', patient in the '''absolutive''' **Like Experiential verbs, but less common, some verbs of mental action may switch categories. Mental Action II tends to imply that the agent is affected by his or her action *Others **Dative-Object ***Agent is absolutive, affected noun is in the dative. = Vocabulary = *[[Galhafan Swadesh lists]] - includes Classical Kasshian and its ancestor [[Common Kasshian]] *[[Classical Kasshian Family Terms]] *[[Classical Kasshian Numbers]] [[Category:Kasshian languages]] [[Category:Classical Kasshian|*]] [[Category:Conlangs|Kasshian, Classical]] Longman Defining Vocabulary/by frequency (1) 2257 21410 2007-04-24T18:28:26Z Melroch 31 <noinclude>{{:Longman Defining Vocabulary/index}}</noinclude> == The Defining Vocabulary sorted by word frequency == To increase the usefulness of this Defining Vocabulary I have sorted it according to [ftp://ftp.itri.bton.ac.uk/bnc/all.num.o5 a word frequency list] based on the [http://info.ox.ac.uk/bnc British National Corpus]. Remaining American spellings in the above list have been Britished. Words in the frequency list are distinguished according to which word class (part of speech) they belong to, so that words that occur in multiple word classes occur several times at different places in the Defining Vocabulary as sorted by word frequency. I have appended an alphabetical list of those words of the Defining Vocabulary which appear in multiple word classes according to the frequency list, along with the tags which the frequency list uses to identify the word classes. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any key to those tags. === Words not occurring in the frequency list === :woolen :worthy_of === The words by frequency === <ol start="1"> <li>the <li>of

It is spoken in the nation of [[Khombu_nation|Khombu]] and is part of his [[Alternate Earth]] conworld. ==Phonetics== Khombu is a phonetically simple language. It contains six plosives, six aspirates, three nasals, one fricative, three vowels, and five clicks. Clicks can appear as individual words or incorporated into many words *Plosives: /p t k b d g/ p t k b d g *Aspirates: /p_h t_h k_h b_h d_h g_h/ ph th kh bh dh gh *Nasals: /m n N/ m n ng *Fricative: /h/ h *Vowels: /a o u/ a o u *Clicks: /!\ I\ \I\ O\/ kx tx gx px A word is as follows: (N)(P)(V)(C)(C)V(C)(C)(V)(C) Broken down: Initial Syllable: (N)(P)V(C) Medial/Final Syllable(s): (C)V(C) A word must have at least one medial syllable. A two syllable word may have an intial and final syllable, or a medial and final syllable. A three syllable word must have an initial, medial, and final syllable, etc. The only disallowed consonant clusters are those that combine a voiced plosive with an unvoiced plosive, and/or have an aspirate precede a plosive. ==Beginning Grammar== Khombu is a grammatically basic language. There is no concept of tense, only of time (Yesterday I run=I ran). Generic words such as yesterday and tomorrow describe past and future tenses, while words like always form the habitual. Sentences in Khombu are VSO, with the direct object always preceding the indirect object. *Here is an example sentences: *''Phamku thu-px-ang kx a-tx-tu tx.'' *Let's break this down: *Phamku tu-px-ang is the verb phrase. Phamku is an adverb meaning tonight, and tu-px-ang means "to give". *Kx and tx are pronouns. Kx is the first person pronoun, and tx is the second person pronoun. Since they have no modifiers, we can leave them as they are, but note the word between them. Since tx is at the end of the sentence it is the indirect object, so "to you". *A-tx-tu means "deer". Since it comes between the subject and indirect object, it must be the direct object. *So, the whole sentence means "tonight I will give deer to you", or the less awkward "tonight I will give you deer". *Here's another one: *Nam tx-ap kx tx. *Nam tx-ap is the verb phrase. Nam means "not". Tx-ap means "to understand". You already know what kx and tx mean. So, the whole sentence means "I don't understand you". ==Text== Px-o ongu mantan gha tx, khang [[Futozi]] bha ntombu tua px am-px-aka ta nambuo.

It is named after the founder, [[Chinrasta]] (which simply means "The Prophetess). == Doctrines == Nrastaism is, at least nominally, a monotheistic faith. Nrastaists believe in a single Goddess (Chidzilau), but believe that her first creations, the Divinities (''soddzilaukani'' - literally "Children of Goddess") are the ones who run the world. In orthodox Nrastaism, they are worshipped as a collective, the Divine Council (''Wafchezzhilaukan''), but many sects have taken to worshipping individual Divinities, evolving into a polytheistic faith. === Eschatology === The world is threatened with destruction at the hands of Goddess, unless the original beauty and joy can be restored. To this end, all the world must be converted. === Afterlife === Nrastaists believe in a form of reincarnation. The soul, they believe, consists of two halves. Upon death, the halves separate, and are reincarnated separately, finding other halves, to form a new soul in a new body. The soul is short-lived outside of a body, dying after 6 days if it is not reincarnated. It is therefore imperative to cremate the body immediately after death, to aid the soul's attempt to leave the prison of the corpse. A particularly righteous individual may achieve Preservation, by which the Divine Council clothes them in an immortal body, and gives them a place among them. === Moral Beliefs === Nrastaism contains a number of laws, detailed in several books written by Chinrasta. The laws are found in her First Revelation, Second Revelation, Account of the Divine Laws, and the Final Revelation. Only the books written by Chinrasta herself are held valid by all sects. Many sects have further books, written by later teachers and prophets, as well as a body of interpretation of laws. Some of the universally-held laws are *No flying creature shall be harmed *No worship of false gods (as mentioned above, some sects are polytheistic, with no effective distinction between the Divinities and the gods of other religions) *No two-legged animal can be eaten (some sects claim the text actually reads "No animal that breathes air", thus including all land animals in the taboo) === Creation Story === ''As found in the Book of the First Revelation'' In the beginning, Goddess was alone in the Void. She sought companionship, and so created beings like herself, but of lesser majesty, known as the Divinities. The Divinities failed to satisfy her, and so she left them, wandering off into the Void. There, she created another group of Divinities, but they also failed to satisfy her, and so she wandered the Void, creating one group after another of Divinities. And so, the Void was filled with groups of Divinities. At last, Goddess despaired of ever creating beings able to satisfy her profound loneliness. She returned to her earlier creations. "Create!" She commanded them. "What shall we create?" they asked her, in awe that their Creator had returned. "Create something pleasing" The Divinities did not know how to interpret this command, and each had her own idea. "But, how shall we create?" they asked her. "I shall give unto you a piece of myself, a spark of power." And so, from her being appeared two great lights, which were called Suns. The Divinities drew power from one of the two, and with that power, they each created something different. One created ice, another water, still another created rocks, and a fourth created air, another created fire, and still another created metal. Goddess saw this, and was entertained. "Give order to your creations!" she commanded again, for at this time, everything was in a jumble. They worked together, and sometimes against each other, but gradually a world of beauty appeared. Yet, this world was too static. Once it had been shaped, it remained unchanging. Still, Goddess enjoyed the beauty. "Continue creating" she commanded them. "Create, ever improving your creation. I shall return to judge you" She returned to the Void, and visited other Divinities, giving them similar commands. And so, one after another, the Void was illuminated by countless suns, but so remote were they from each other, that each saw the others as mere points of lights, which they named Stars. The Divinities, meanwhile, began creating an ever more subtle world, carving great mountains, deep valleys, wide oceans, and broad rivers. But, the world failed to satisfy them. At last, the greatest of them, the Chief Divinity (''Chidzilaukanjezh'' - literally Leader of the Children of Goddess), proposed creating things that would change, things that would reshape their own world. Their first creations were the plants, which clothed the land, growing and dying. But, soon the world was filled with dead plants, and this was not good. So, small animals were created to eat the plants, and it was good. But, these creatures grew in numbers, filling the world, and so more animals were created to eat them. And so, one after another, the world was populated by animals of all different kinds. And the Divinities continued creating new plants, adding further beauty, and seeking ways to feed new animals. At last, a world of surpassing beauty, filled with great wonders and countless variety of life, was formed. And Goddess was very pleased when she returned. She continued touring the Void, looking at all the different works of art her creations had created. But, at last, the Divinities too felt the need for companionship. They'd run out of ideas for new wonders. "Let us create beings like ourselves, to create new things, for our pleasure" Suggested one of the Divinities. "This is blasphemy" spoke another, "None but Goddess herself may create thinking beings" There were many who agreed with her, but more who disagreed. The Chief Divinity herself opposed her, and so, the Divinities decided to create beings like themselves. They created a small village of people, and commanded their creations to create, to shape the world, and change it. These people died after six days, however. They tried again, and again they failed. Their powers were limited, and they could not create beings entirely like themselves. At last, they discovered that if they put the beings in a physical body, they could live. But, a body is itself short-lived, and so, they ordained that the people could create more people, and that these new people could provide homes for souls who had lost their bodies. The one who had opposed their creation sought to destroy them. She, and those who followed her, rebelled against the Divine Council. They were exiled from the Council, and cast down into the world. They became the Exiled Ones (''sonnaakusuni''). The Exiled Ones sowed hatred, fear, greed, avarice, willfull ignorance, disease, and other curses, among the people. They were, themselves, jealous of the people's ability to fly through the air, for at that time people could still fly, and so they struck them down, cursing them to spend their days on the ground. The Exiled Ones began to spread lies among the people, turning them against the Divinities, by false claims of godhood. They became split among themselves, with some continuing to pursue the destruction of people, and others seeking to use people against the Divinities. The Exiled Ones fought amongst themselves, and their fights involved their enslaved peoples. And so the world fell from its original state of beauty and joy. Goddess returned, and was horrified. "This abomination must be destroyed!" She exclaimed, but the Divinities sought to appease her, promising to restore it to beauty, if she'd only withhold her wrath. "Very well. I shall leave now. When I return, if you have not restored this world to its original beauty, I shall destroy it." Goddess left again, and the Divine Council met, to figure out a solution. It was decided that it was time for the Divinities themselves to intervene in the affairs of people, to reveal the truth, and break the slavery of the Exiled Ones' lies. And so, a messenger was sent to me. She commanded me to write down all her words, and to go forth and share the Truth with all peoples. [[Category:Nrastaism|*]] Laughing Mystics 2266 16491 2006-11-24T04:49:01Z Christina 18 The '''Laughing Mystics''' are a religious group found on [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]. They originated in [[Kalpan]], during the Sixth Dynasty. The Laughing Mystics reject the notion that life has any higher meaning, or that people have any special role in the gods' plans. Their texts state that people were an accident, and that the gods were surprised to discover humanity. The secret to eternal bliss, they believe, is to realize that nothing matters. Only when one lets go of the delusion that this world matters can one escape the suffering of this world. ''The only genuine Truth in this world is that the world is absurd'', their founder, the First Enlightened One, proclaimed in her teaching. Their belief in the fundamental absurdity and pointlessness of the world is the source of their common name, as they tend to laugh at piety and theology, as well as at such thing as politics. ''The ultimate devotion to the absolute absurd'' they call such activities. They also use logical arguments against theology and religion. They have few doctrines, and even fewer dogmas. They generally hold to some form of reincarnation, but believe that the full truth is beyond the understanding of any mortal. In terms of morality, they again have no absolute laws. Instead, they believe that one should seek to minimize suffering in the world. That ones goal should be to avoid causing pain, and, beyond that, to seek to eliminate it. They therefore work towards charitable goals, and believe that differences based on class, race, sex, religion, etc., are all artificial, and harmful. Their ideal is an egalitarian culture. The Laughing Mystics are frequently persecuted due to their egalitarianism, and their irreverance towards religion. [[Category:Galhafan Religions]] Classical Sanle 2267 31751 2008-05-26T20:59:54Z Christina 18 '''Classical Sanle''' was an early form of the [[Sanle (language)|Sanle language]], spoken during the Sanle's first great expansion. It was descended from [[Proto-Sanle]]. == Phonology == <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Uvular |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Stops || p || b || || || || || t || d || || || || || k || g || q |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || m || || || || || || n || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || f || v || th || dh || s || z || sh || zh || || || kh || gh || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Affricates || || || || || || || tlh |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || || || || || || || r || || || || y |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || l |} </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || i || || || || || || || || || u |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || e || || || || || || || o || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || a |} </div> Vowels may be long, in which case they're marked with an acute, as á í ú é ó. Stress is normally on the first syllable of a word. In cases of irregular stress, the grave (or circumflex for long vowels) is used to indicate the stress. === Syllables === Classical Sanle tended towards monosyllabic words, with a few disyllabic, and even fewer trisyllabic, words, permitting a modest range of consonant clusters, but no vowel sequences. Syllables could begin with: *A vowel *Any consonant *A stop followed by any consonant (including another stop) *A nasal followed by anything except another nasal *A fricative followed by any other consonant (same voicing for stops and fricatives) *L followed by r or y Syllables could end with: *A vowel *Any consonant *A nasal followed by a homorganic stop or a fricative *A fricative followed by a stop (same voicing) *An l or r followed by a stop, fricative, or nasal *rl In intervocalic consonant-clusters, the first consonant is always syllabified with the preceding vowel (e.g., ''ákhmosht'', "visit" is syllabified ''ákh-mosht'' rather than ''á-khmosht'') == Grammar == Sanle was an isolating language. Normal word order was subject-object-verb, modifiers preceding their head, with postpositions. Serial verbs and classifiers were also frequently used.

At one time, it was commonly believed by [[Nrastaism|Nrastaists]] that she was not a person at all, but rather, a demon in human form. She reigned for nearly 20 years, until, at last, she provoked a rebellion from the army. She disappeared shortly before the army captured her palace. Her ultimate fate remains a mystery to this day. Some believe that she escaped, going into hiding. Others believe that she was killed, but she'd been in disguise as a noble, and her body went unrecognized. Nrastaist priests said that she simply returned to her true, demonic, form. After her overthrow, the Empire was thrown into civil war, falling into dozens of factions in the Wars of the Collapse. After a nearly three-dozen-year period of warfare, several small states took shape in the former Empire, and the Nrastaist faith fell from power, nearly dying out. == Early Reign == Chinikan seized power after a succession disupte following ???'s death. She proclaimed herself Empress, and threatened her rivals with assassination. She proved a far more powerful empress than most, ignoring the advice of the [[Imperial Family Council]], and ruling as an autocrat. Five years into her reign, she pressured the [[Supreme Matriarch]] into naming her as a priestess, and, upon the opening of a vacancy in the [[Council of Twelve]], she forced herself to be named to the vacancy. And, when the High Priestess died three years later, she proclaimed ''herself'' to be Supreme Matriarch, reuniting the positions of Empress and High Priestess for the first time since [[Chalanya]] established the Second Kasshi Empire. In her dual role as Empress and High Priestess, she ignored the advice of her Councils. She ordered the persecution of heresies and other faiths, ending a period of tolerance that had begun with [[Chila]] the Great. In addition, one by one, she had the members of the Imperial Family killed, and refused to fill vacancies in the Council of Twelve. Her reign became increasingly tyrannical. In fear of magic, she forbade any image to be made of herself. She ordered the deaths of all who could make a claim on the Imperial Throne. A few distant relatives fled the Empire, but most were massacred. On the twelfth anniversary of her coronation, she proclaimed the abolition of the Imperial Family Council and the Council of Twelve, and began the construction of [[Chinikan's Palace|a new palace]]. She also ordered the creation of an elite Sacred Guard to defend herself, and to search out signs of heresy. Separatist movements were brutally crushed, and, in the 16th year of her reign, she proclaimed that the learned classes were to abandon all languages save [[Classical Kasshian]]. By the 18th year of her reign, her madness reached a peak. She proclaimed herself a goddess of [[Nikanism|a new faith]], abruptly turning [[Nrastaism]] into a "false religion". Surrounded by her fanatical Sacred Guard, she was insulated from the outrage of her people and the Nrastaist leadership. She proclaimed that her sacred mission was to unite the world, and to that end, she ordered invasions of nearby nations. This proved her downfall, as the bulk of the army finally rebelled. A two-year civil war ensued, which eventually ended when the main army defeated the Sacred Guard, and stormed Chinikan's Palace. Chinikan herself was nowhere to be found. After her deposal, several distant relatives claimed to be the legitimate heir, while many non-Kasshi regions proclaimed independence. A series of bloody wars ensued, resulting in the complete destruction of the Second Kasshi Empire. Eventually, a loose federation came about in the heart of the Second Empire, which is often referred to by historians as the [[Third Kasshi Empire]], although at the time, it was considered a restoration of the Second Empire.

Basically it employs the three most common [[Wikipedia:Diacritic|accent marks]], the [[Wikipedia:acute accent|acute]] (&nbsp;{{Big|ˊ}}&nbsp;), the [[Wikipedia:Grave accent|grave]] (&nbsp;{{Big|ˋ}}&nbsp;) and the [[Wikipedia:circumflex|circumflex]] (&nbsp;{{Big|ˆ}}&nbsp;) according to the following pattern (exemplified on the letter '''a'''): {{Bordertable|#fff}} | rowspan=2 colspan=2 align=center valign=middle | | valign="middle" align="center" rowspan=1 colspan=2 | Length |- | valign="middle" align="center" width="100px" | Short | valign="middle" align="center" width="100px" | Long |- | rowspan=2 colspan=1 | Stress | Unstressed | valign="middle" align="center" width="100px" | {{Big|a}} | align="center" valign="middle" width="100px" | {{Big|á}} |- | Stressed | valign="middle" align="center" width="100px" | {{Big|à}} | valign="middle" align="center" width="100px" | {{Big|â}} |} The impetus for the system comes from the fact that the circumflex graphically looks like a combination of the acute and the grave: {|align="center" width="300px" |align="center"| {{Big|/}} |align="center"| + |align="center"| {{Big|\}} |align="center"| <nowiki>=</nowiki> |align="center"| {{Big|/\}} |} == Use of accents in natlangs == There are several conflicting uses of the acute accent mark in Western orthographies: in some languages (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Galician, Welsh and (optionally) Russian) it is used to mark the [[Wikipedia:Acute_accent#Stress|stressed vowel]] of a word. In other languages it is used to mark [[Wikipedia:Acute_accent#Length|vowel length]] (orthographically in Irish, Hungarian, Czech, and Slovak; in scholarly use also in Old Norse{{ref|2}}&nbsp; and Old English{{ref|3}}). === Grave difficulties === I used to think that by contrast the grave, which is used to mark stress in Italian and Greek, was never used to mark vowel length. [[Wikipedia:Grave_accent#Length|Scottish Gaelic proves me wrong]], but on the other hand Welsh actually uses the grave to explicitly mark a stressed vowel as short! == Weaknesses == The weakness of the system clearly is that AFAIK no language except Ancient Greek actually uses the circumflex to indicate the ''combination'' of stress and length, although it is used to mark vowel length in the orthography or transliteration of [[Wikipedia:Circumflex#Length|several languages]]. I think, however, that the graphical similarity of the circumflex to a combination of acute and grave outweighs this consideration. == Unicode and the macron == Some may wonder why I don't use the [[Wikipedia:macron|macron]] instead, now that it is readily available in [[Wikipedia:Unicode|Unicode]]. The answer is threefold: # There are still many people using email clients that don't support Unicode, while most email clients nowadays support [[Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859-1|"Latin-1"]] which contains the five vowel letters '''a, e, i, o, u''' with acute, grave and circumflex{{ref|4}}. # The vast majority of Unicode-supporting fonts and applications don't handle the placement of accent marks above a letter which already bears a macron with any elegance; the likelihood is that you don't see the added accent mark at all because it gets entagled in the macron (if this&nbsp;'''ā́''' actually comes out right in your browser, things may be getting better! {{-)}}), and '''āˊ''' with the spacing acute is a kludgy substitute{{ref|5}}. # Also &mdash; and that's actually a big part of it for me &mdash; macron and acute are notoriously difficult to keep apart in handwriting, not to speak of the combination of them, which either looks like a [[Wikipedia:double acute accent|double acute accent]] (which means something entirely different in its only natlang use), or it looks monstruously clumsy. == Another use == Finally I have to admit that in the old spelling of one of my conlangs, [[Knoschke|Knòškè]] I exploit yet another use of the grave, namely to indicate [[Wikipedia:Grave_accent#Height|vowel openness]] (as in French, Italian and Catalan): '''è''' is {{IPA|[ɛ]}} and '''ò''' is {{IPA|[ɔ]}} &mdash; against '''e''' {{IPA|[e]}} and '''o''' {{IPA|[o]}} &mdash;, but the acute still indicates length &mdash; which makes '''ê''' {{IPA|[ɛː]}} and '''ô''' {{IPA|[ɔː]}}; I guess nobody is perfect! {{-)}} == Notes == {{note|1}}[1] This system of using accent marks was suggested to me by [http://www.carolandray.plus.com/Glosso/Glossopoeia.html Raymond Brown]. I readily and enthusiastically took to using it, and still am enthusiastic about it. To my knowledge Ray has never used the system himself (indeed nobody but myself seems to have used it), but I wish to acknowledge him as the inventor; I don't think it would have occurred to me on my own, since I was quite set in my earlier less systematic use of accent marks. {{note|2}}[2] In modern Icelandic the acute is used in the same positions in the same words as scholars put it in Old Norse, but they no longer indicate vowel length, since the old distinction between long and short vowels has in the course of the history of the language developed into a distinction of quality, with most of the old long vowels having become diphthongs. {{note|3}}[3] The Anglo-Saxons themselves apparently used the acute as length mark only occasionally if at all. The use by Old English scholars dates only from the 19{{sup|th}} century, and was then probably inspired by the use in Irish and the somewhat less occasional use in Old Norse. Nowadays Old English scholars seem to prefer the [[Wikipedia:macron|macron]], but I first met Old English in [[Wikipedia:Tolkien|Tolkien]] when I was ten years old, and old habits die hard! {{-)}} {{note|4}}[4] Unfortunately Latin-1 doesn't contain '''y''' with grave or circumflex, nor '''æ''' or '''ø''' with any accent mark, and not even most Unicode fonts contain the precomposed forms of these letters with accent marks (other than '''ý''' obviously) but you can't always get everything! {{note|5}}[5] Incidentally {{type|U+0341 : COMBINING ACUTE TONE MARK}} usually makes a better job of it: '''ā́''', but with '''Ā́''' and '''Ā́''' (not to speak of '''Ṓ''' and '''Ṓ''') you're usually in equally bad luck{{-(}}, and it '''is''' a hack in any case! Talk:Laughing Mystics 2271 8886 2006-05-09T22:20:13Z Christina 18 Nik, I like these laughing mystics. *Thanks. :-) Is there more detail available somewhere? *Only in my brain. :-) I'm still working out the details. Thanks for your questions. For instance, *Do they deny the existence of life-after-death, or "life"-between-lives if they believe in reincarnation? **They believe in reincarnation. Most do believe that there is some sort of world between lives. Some believe that ''that'' is the "Real World", with this being merely illusion, while others believe that it is similar to ours. A few believe that reincarnation is instantaneous without any intermediate world. They all agree that whatever the afterlife is like, you'll learn when you die, and so it's pointless to argue about it. *Do they deny the possibility of a heaven in which a disembodied soul can experience reward for its actions in life? *Do they deny the possibility of a hell in which a disembodied soul can experience punishment for its actions in life? **Yes to both. They do not believe that the gods take an interest in individuals. They do generally believe that reincarnation is in some way affected by ones actions in this life, a sort of kharma-like doctrine. They do admit the possibility that the gods might take an interest in the world as a whole. *Do they deny the possibility of communication between the living and the "dead" before the "dead" are re-incarnated? *Do they deny the possibility that the circumstances of one's reincarnation can be a reward or punishment for one's conduct in the past life or lives? **Not so mcuh as a "reward" or "punishment", as that would imply a higher being being responsible, but more as a natural consequence of ones actions. (Consistent with their egalitarianism.) *Do they believe that the foundation and source of human morality is the human mind, rather than some God or gods? **Not quite.

The Imperial Family Council consisted of a set of members of the Imperial Family, and was lead by an [[Kasshi Empress|Empress]]. The Council was established by [[Chalanya]] herself. In modern times, the Council's functions are almost entirely ceremonial. [[Category:Kasshi Empresses]] [[Category:Kasshi Government]] Council of Twelve 2278 33072 2008-06-17T21:07:23Z Christina 18 The '''Council of Twelve''' was the ruling body of the [[Nrastaism|Nrastaist church]] until the [[Wars of the Collapse]]. The Council was established by [[Chinrasta]] late in her life, and was, by her decree, named her collective successor following her death. The Council initially elected a [[Nrastaist Supreme Matriarch|Supreme Matriarch]] from amongst themselves, but later the [[Kasshi Empress|Empress]] took over the nomination of a Supreme Matriarch, subject to the Council's approval. Vacancies in the Council were filled from among the Matriarchs of the Church, by the Empress, subject to the approval of the Supreme Matriarch. During [[Chinikan]]'s reign, vacancies went unfilled, and Chinikan claimed for herself the position of Supreme Matriarch. The Wars of the Collapse which followed Chinikan's deposing worsened matters, as different claimants to the Imperial Throne named different Supreme Matriarchs. In addition, the chaos of the wars themselves made it impossible for the Council to meet. Some of the Council-Members established Provisional Appointments, creating several different bodies that each claimed to be the legitimate Provisional Council of Twelve, several of which named, or had named, a Supreme Matriarch. Never again would a single Council of Twelve be established. This fragmented the church beyond repair.

More recent work suggests that this language -- here termed "Fusangese" as a temporary and somewhat tongue-in-cheek placeholder -- is in fact a form of archaic Chinese with heavy contact influences from Mixtecan and Nahua languages. These sub- and adstratum influences, particularly in the domain of phonology, combined with the obscurity of the community and the improbability of an unknown Chinese-speaking group living as Indians in modern Mexico, understandably led previous investigators to assign this language to the large and diverse Otomanguean group. Considerable mystery and uncertainty still surrounds “Fusangese”, however. Is it simply a creolized form of modern Chinese, possibly a Minnan or Minbei dialect, spoken by post-Columbian immigrants from China? Or is it, as seems increasingly more likely, a cousin of the modern Chinese languages, descended from an earlier stage of Chinese? So little fieldwork has been done at this point, to say nothing of analysis, that these questions cannot yet be resolved. The genetic affiliation shown in the sidebar is simply a guess. Watch this space! '''UPDATE''': In a disappointing development, it has been demonstrated recently that the "Fusangese" language is simply a dialect of Min Chinese -- specifically, a form of Puxian Min -- and that its speakers are descended from Chinese workers brought to New Spain in the early 1600s via the Philippines. The presence of a lateral fricative in "Fusangese" phonology can now be understood not as a contact borrowing from local Mesoamerican languages, but a direct inheritance from Puxian Min. Likewise, its complicated tone system is recognizable as clearly Min (to the extent that tone sandhi in Min is ever "clear") and not either Otomanguean nor a separate New World development of some Old Chinese original.

Contrary to what the modern shape and name ''c-[[Wikipedia:cedilla|cedilla]]'' suggest it is not in origin a '''c''' with a [[Wikipedia:diacritic|diacritic]], but a swash form of the letter '''z'''. [[Image:C-cedilla-origin.gif|left|200px|The origin of '''ç''']] A form of '''z''' like the '''{{IPA|ʒ}}''' now used in [[IPA]] for the French sound of '''j''', with a downward curved swash replacing the lower horizontal line, was widespread in medieval scripts. In Spain this form developed a variant with also the ''upper'' horizontal line becoming a curved swash. In time this form (No. 3 in the image) became differentiated in use, denoting the voiceless coronal affricate {{IPA|/ts/}} while form (1) or (2) denoted the corresponding voiced affricate {{IPA|/dz/}}. Perhaps it was the use of this letter form for the same sound as '''c''' represented before the letters '''e, i''' and '''y''' that prompted its further development into a form like a '''c''' with a tail, through increasing the size of the upper curve while decreasing the size of the lower part. == The name "cedilla" == The word ''cedilla'' is originally a diminutive of ''zeda'' or ''ceda'', the Spanish name for the letter '''z''', and thus was originally a name for the letter '''ç''', and not just for the ostensible diacritic. Alternative forms in older Spanish were ''cerilla'' and ''ceril''. Incidentally ''cerilla'' means "friction match" in modern Spanish! == Sources == * {{note|visigothz}} The image of the [http://medievalwriting.50megs.com/scripts/examples/visigoth.htm Visigothic] '''z''' was borrowed from Dr Dianne Tillotson's [http://medievalwriting.50megs.com/writing.htm medieval writing site].

All diphtongs are falling, ie the first element is the syllabic nucleus. ===Tense/lax Distinction=== This is not phonemic in Khangaþyagon, so for example [i] and [ɪ] will be recognised as the same phoneme. Technically it's a free variation, although tense forms are more usual in careful speech. The emergence of allophonic and phonemic tense/lax distinctions in dialects was one of the mechanisms by which different languages diverged from Khangaþyagon. ===Schwa=== [ə] never occurs in Khangaþyagon.

In an unstressed position, their phonetic realizations are respectively [ɐ], [e], [i], [o] and [u]. When stressed, at the end of verbs, they are nasalized: [ɐ̃], [ẽ], [ĩ], [õ] and [ũ]. When stressed, elsewhere, they are pronounced as follows: [a], [ɛ], [i], [ɔ] and [u]. <table width="300px"> <tr> <td>Phoneme</td> <td>Stressed (non-V)</td> <td>Unstressed</td> <td>Stressed (V)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/a/</td> <td>a</td> <td>ɐ</td> <td>ɐ̃</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/e/</td> <td>ɛ</td> <td>e</td> <td>ẽ</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/i/</td> <td>i</td> <td>i</td> <td>ĩ</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/o/</td> <td>ɔ</td> <td>o</td> <td>õ</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/u/</td> <td>u</td> <td>u</td> <td>ũ</td> </tr> </table> ==Consonants== This is the consonantal system of mabri. <table width="700px"> <tr> <td></td> <td>Bilabial</td> <td>Labiodental</td> <td>Labiovelar</td> <td>Alveolar</td> <td>Post-alveolar</td> <td>Palatal</td> <td>Velar</td> <td>Glottal</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nasal</td> <td>m</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>n</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Plosive</td> <td>p b</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>t d</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>k g</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Affricate</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>tx, dj</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fricative</td> <td></td> <td>f v</td> <td></td> <td>s z</td> <td>x, j</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>h</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Approximant</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>w</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>y</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Tap</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>r</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Lat.

Syllables like '''a''', '''re''' and '''pwi''' are valid. Syllables have phonemically no coda, although a written "n" appears at the end of verbs. This final "n" indicates that the previous vowel is nasal and is not always pronounced. An epenthetic [m], [n], [ɱ] or [ŋ] will appear, however, if the next word begins with b/p, d/t/z/s/dj/tx/j/x, v/f and g/k, respectively. Examples: <p>'''Kaze txin ha.''' ['kaze tʃĩ ha]</p> <p>'''Mu men taze.''' ['kaze mẽn 'taze]</p> <p>'''Mya kon frugyo.''' [mja kõɱ 'fɾugjo]</p> <p>'''Fa gran bla.''' [fa gɾɐ̃m bla]</p> <p>'''Ladjo yan katxi.''' ['ladʒo jɐ̃ŋ 'katʃi]</p> ==Word Stress== *Monosyllabic prepositions, such as '''ga''' and '''po''', are unstressed. Their pronunciations are therefore [gɐ] and [po] (and not [ga] or [pɔ]). :*All the other monosyllabic words are stressed: '''ka''', '''lo''', '''ban''', '''de''' ([ka], [lɔ], [bɐ̃], [dɛ]). *Disyllabic verbs are stressed on the last syllable: '''latxin''', '''kyofan''', '''broton''' ([lɐ'tʃĩ], [kjo'fɐ̃], [bɾo'tõ]). :*All the other disyllabic words are stressed on the first syllable: '''latxi''', '''kyofa''', '''broto''' (['latʃi], ['kjɔfɐ], ['bɾɔto]). ::*That includes disyllabic prepositions: '''potxi''', '''gale''', '''polye''' (['pɔtʃi], ['gale], ['pɔlje]). *Larger words (hyphenated words) are multiply stressed, each part according to the rules above. =Grammar= Words in Mabri can be roughly divided in 4 main groups: verbs, nouns, adjectives and prepositions. Mabri is a pro-drop language. ==Word order== <p>Mabri is a SVO (subject verb object) language, as English. Other arrangements are possible but marked through special constructions. Sentence-modifying adverbs are placed either before or after the sentence, never in the middle. Examples:</p> <p>'''xewan'''. (It rains.)</p> <p>'''lafa nun'''. (She is sleeping.)</p> <p>'''lafa kon fruno'''. (She is eating an apple.)</p> <p>'''kon fruno polye lafa'''. (Eating an apple she is.)</p> <p>'''podo grihe kadjo yan si'''. (Yesterday we went to the city.)</p> <p>'''kadjo yan si podo grihe'''. (We went to the city yesterday.)</p> <p>As to noun phrases, mabri is ''head-final'', as Spanish. Adjective-modifying adverbs are placed after the adjective. Intensifiers are placed before the adjectives. Counters come before the nouns. Examples:</p> <p>'''mwakwi''' (cat)</p> <p>'''mwakwi du ba''' (big cat)</p> <p>'''mwakwi du ba gapo ku kii''' (unexpectedly big cat)</p> <p>'''mwakwi du jaja ga ba''' (very big cat)</p> <p>'''natxa ga mwakwi''' (two cats)</p> ==Nouns== *Nouns have no inflection at all. *There is no grammatical number (exceptions for "pronouns"; see table below). Number is indicated by means of counters (below). *There is no grammatical gender (exceptions for "pronouns"; see table below). Biological gender is represented through periphrasis. *There is no declension; the role of the noun phrases is determined by word order. *There are no true pronouns; instead, there are nouns that can be translated in English as nouns. Below are some of these nouns: {| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto" |+ ! || here || there || yonder |- | sing. pronoun || '''kaze''' (I) || '''taze''' (you) || '''laze''' (that person) |- | sing. masc. pronoun || '''kato''' (I) || '''tato''' (you) || '''lato''' (he) |- | sing. fem. pronoun || '''kafa''' (I) || '''tafa''' (you) || '''lafa''' (she) |- | plural pronoun || '''kadjo''' (we) || '''tadjo''' (you) || '''ladjo''' (they) |- | time || '''kado''' (this moment) || '''tado''' || '''lado''' (that moment) |- | place || '''katxi''' (this place) || '''tatxi''' (place near you) || '''latxi''' (place over there) |- | reason || '''kari''' (this reason) || '''tari''' (reason of yours) || '''lari''' (that reason) |} ===Counters=== Counters have two main purposes: numbering nouns and as intensifiers. They are followed by the preposition '''ga'''. * Numbers always start with the prefix '''na'''. Mabri uses a decimal system. The vowel of each syllable determines the order of magnitude. The consonant determines the digit. {| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto" |+ ! (digit) || units || tens || hundreds || thousands |- | 0 || na-xa || || || || |- | 1 || na-txa || na-txu || na-txi || na-txe |- | 2 || na-la || na-lu || na-li || na-le |- | 3 || na-ba || na-bu || na-bi || na-be |- | 4 || na-ya || na-yu || na-i || na-ye |- | 5 || na-fa || na-fu || na-fi || na-fe |- | 6 || na-wa || na-u || na-wi || na-we |- | 7 || na-ma || na-mu || na-mi || na-me |- | 8 || na-ra || na-ru || na-ri || na-re |- | 9 || na-ta || na-tu || na-ti || na-te |} <p>Examples:</p> <p>15 persons: '''na-txu-fa ga ze'''</p> <p>38 computers: '''na-bu-ra ga chu'''</p> <p>462: '''na-u-i-la ga'''</p> <p>2007: na-le-ma</p> <p>'''ni ga''': every, all</p> <p>'''sha ga''': none</p> <p>'''ja ga''': so many</p> <p>'''jaja ga''': many, much</p> <p>'''jaku ga''': few, little</p> <p>'''plu ga''': more</p> <p>'''pluni ga''': most</p> <p>'''pluku ga''': less, fewer</p> <p>'''pluku-ni ga''': least, fewest</p> ==Adjectives== ==Verbs== ===Aspect=== ==Adverbs== ==Prepositions== ==Conjunctions== ==Dependent clauses== ===Subject and object clauses=== ===Relative clauses=== ===The prefix "ju"=== ===Adverbial clauses=== ==Word formation== ===Compounds=== ===Affixes=== =Writing System= The writing system of mabri is '''logosyllabic''' (i. e., it is both '''logographic''' and '''syllabic'''). Each syllable represents a distinct '''morpheme''' and is uniquely written with a '''grapheme'''. The transcription into the Latin alphabet is straightforward. The phonemes are generally transcribed as pronounced. The exceptions are <j>, <x> and <y>, which correspond to /ʒ/, /ʃ/ and /j/, respectively. The letter <r> is usually pronounced as a tap [ɾ]. Recently, the transcription system has gone through a minor reform. Former <sh> is now written <x> and former <ch> is now written <tx>. The <n> at the end of the words marks that the previous vowel is nasal, as explained in Phonotactics. [[Category:Conlangs]] Khangaþyagon Phonotactics 2297 9084 2006-05-19T08:50:40Z PeteBleackley 179 ===Phonotactics=== This is more of a philosophical discussion than a rigourous description. I've never actually sat down and said &quot;These are the constraints that a Khangaþyagon syllable must obey.&quot; Rather, I set out to give the language a quasi-Gemanic feel to it. Both consonant clusters and vowel hiatus can occur intra-morphemically, and as the morphology is agglutinating, even more complex things can occur at morpheme boundaries. Very few things are absolutely disalowed (initial geminates being one of them), others can occur but are fairly rare (initial ng, initial stop clusters). One reason for this is that I don't use automatic word generation for Khangaþyagon. When I create new vocab items, I try to produce words that fit in with the tone of what's gone before, and suit their meaning. Khangaþyagon seems to have developed a distinctive sound of its own, and I'm happy that my language has found its own voice. ===Stress=== Placement of stress is much better defined. The primary stress occurs on the first syllable of the primary root. Secondary stress occurs in compounds on the first syllable of secondary roots. One consequence of this is that stress can be phonemic. Here's a minimal pair. ;zaldep [ˈzældep] : treasure ;ban [bæn] : stone ;-ban [bæn] : that (suffix) zaldepban ;[ˌzældepˈbæn] : gemstone ;[ˈzældepbæn] : that treasure {{NavBar|Back_dest=Khangaþyagon Vowels|Back_name=Vowels|Up_dest=Khangaþyagon Phonology|Up_name=Phonology and Script|Next_dest=The Bukhstav|Next_name=The Bukhstav}} --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 01:50, 19 May 2006 (PDT) The Bukhstav 2298 52527 2010-03-09T20:10:38Z PeteBleackley 179 Categorized ===Bukhstav Runes=== [[Image:Bukhstav.gif]] This is the native script for Khangaþyagon. It is a runic script, known as bukhstav, which means &quot;rite sign&quot;. Notice that the first seven letters spell out the name of the script. In the illustration, each rune is preceeded by its romanisation. Each vowel has two forms. The first one shown (diagonal slanting top left to bottom right) represents the short vowel, while the second one (bottom left to top right) represents the long vowel. Diphthongs are written by writing the long form of the first element joined to the short form of the second element by the upper ends of the diagonals. The last rune shown (labelled ") is a gemination rune. It forms the phonemic geminate of the preceeding rune. It is only used intra-morphemically. If a morpheme ends with a particular phoneme and the next morpheme begins with the same one, the rune for that phoneme is written twice, and the gemination rune is not used. ===Final note on the romanisation=== If a situation occurs where two phonemes occur together whose symbols would form a digraph for a third phoneme, the romanisation uses an apostrophe to disambiguate them. This does not correspond to any feature of the bukhstav, where every phoneme has a distinct rune. {{NavBar|Back_dest=Khangaþyagon Phonotactics|Back_name=Phonotactics and Stress|Up_dest=Khangaþyagon Phonology|Up_name=Phonology|Next_dest=Khangaþyagon Morphology|Next_name=Morphology}} [[category:conscripts]] Azirian Phylogeny 2299 17851 2006-12-29T20:09:49Z WeepingElf 43 ==Evolutionary history== The people of Azir are all distantly related to each other, via a common ancestor millions of years ago on an unknown world. The two main groups of Azirian people are the "[[elves]]" (Nelya and relatives) and the "furry people" (Zireen and relatives). The Nikta and relatives are technically more closely related to elves, although often associated with the furry people because of their appearance. In addition to these groups are more distantly related people such as the [[Zaik]] and related Mizarian rodent-people, which have been created by genetic engineering. The branching pattern of the Azirian family tree is influenced by two main factors. First, the opening and closing of Impossible Gates can allow a population to become established on a distant world, then become cut off from the original population. Second, when two populations come together on a single world, they can establish new hybrid populations, if they are closely related. For example, the [[Kireethin]] are hybrids of [[Zireen]] and [[Sangari]] populations that have recently come into contact on the world of [[Sharnirazva]]. Alternatively, one of the populations can outcompete the other, causing the less successful population to fall back to another world or even to become extinct. The Ttanissyn and Thruad are recent examples of populations that have become extinct due to recent contact with other Azirian populations (Nithra and Nikta, respectively). More rarely, two populations will eventually come to coexist on the same world (as with the [[Neyasai]] and [[Zireen]] of [[Rishai]]). ==Azirian family tree== 5 4 3 2 1 0 (million years ago) +---------------------+--+---------------------------Tanja | | +-+-------------------------Sayana | | +----+--------------------Klathnar | | +-------+----+-------[[Kaltani]] | | | +-------Lialia | | +---+---+----[[Nelya]] | | | +----[[Yitha]] | | +-+------Hlal | | +------Miri | +----+-------------------------(Ttanissyn) | +-----------------------+-Nikta | +-Neyasai +----+-----------------------------------------------Binda +-----------------+--------------------(Dhuli) +---+----------------------+--[[Sangari]] | | + [[Kireethin]] | +--[[Zireen]] +---+---------+-------(Varinnoya) | +-----------Zoray +-----+---------------[[Nithra]] +---------+-----Hralta +-----(Thruad) [[Category:Azir]] Blafu 2300 32745 2008-06-13T05:44:47Z Christina 18 The '''Blafu''' have traditionally been the dominant culture of the eastern part of Odirá. For much of Odiran history, the Blafu were the technologically dominant culture. Today, most Odiran languages (and many non-Odiran, as well) borrow from [[Classical Blafu]] for scientific terminology. For example, see [[Galhafan Biological Taxonomy]] The [[Blafu religion]] was based upon the worship of the [[Silent God]], the god of death. Their religion considered deafness sacred, and its priesthood used a sign language known as the [[Sacred Hand]].

Bear with me as I update the page. The revised version is currently accurate through [[Elbic#Verbal morphology|Verbal morphology]].'' Elbic is the language of the Principality of Elba, an island off the coast of Tuscany. It is a Central and Southern Italian language, although it has been relatively isolated, related to Neapolitan and Tuscan Italian. ==Phonology== Elbic phonology is fairly ordinary for a Romance language. ===Vowels=== Elbic has a straightforward seven-vowel system inherited from Vulgar Latin. It also has three diphthongs, two falling and one rising: /jɛ/, /wɔ/, and /ai/. <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || i || || || || || || || || || u |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-high || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || ê || || || || || || || ô |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || e || || || || || || || o |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-low || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || a |} </div> Orthographically, it should be noted that '''e''' and '''o''' occasionally represent /e/ and /o/; as a general rule, only the first vowel in a word that would receive a circumflex does. The diphthong /jɛ/ is represented orthographically as '''ië''', the diphthong /wɔ/ as '''uo''', and the diphthong /ai/ as '''ai'''. ===Consonants=== Elbic has either 22 or 24 consonants, depending on whether the semivowels /w/ and /j/ are treated as allophonic realizations of /i/ and /u/ or as consonants in their own right. <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Labiovelar |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || m || || || || || || n || || || || gn || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || p || b || || || t || d || || || || || || || c(h) || g(h) || qu || gu |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || f || v || || || s || || x || g(i) || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || ç || z || || || c(i) || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || ||(u)|| || || || || || || || || ||(i) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || || r |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || l || || || || lh |} </div> Orthographically, '''ch''' and '''gh''' are used for /k/ and /g/ before front vowels, '''c''' and '''g''' before back vowels. '''c''' and '''g''' are used for /tʃ/ and /ʒ/ before front vowels, '''ci''' and '''gi''' before back vowels. All consonants can be geminated, in which case they are written twice, with the following exceptions: * geminated '''lh''' is written '''llh''' * geminated '''ç''' is written '''tç''' * geminated '''qu''' is written '''cqu''' * geminated '''gn''' is written '''ggn''' Written Elbic utilizes four diacritics: * the circumflex is used to mark the vowels /e/ and /o/ (written '''ê''' and '''ô''') * the diaeresis is used to mark the diphthong /jɛ/ (written '''ië''') * the acute accent is used to mark irregular stress on a non-final syllable * the grave accent is used to mark irregular stress on a final syllable Note that an acute or grave takes precedence over the diaeresis (e.g. '''Miéxxicu''' ''Mexico''). ===Stress=== To place the stress of a word, follow these rules in the order they are presented here. * When determining the stress of a word, always initially place it on the final syllable. * If the final sound is a vowel, stress moves back one syllable. * If anywhere in the word there is a vowel with an acute or grave, move the stress to the accented vowel. * In monosyllabic words, the vowel is generally treated as if it were unstressed. Thus, '''Miéxxicu''', the Elbic name for Mexico, is /'mjɛʃ:iku/, '''Êlba''', the Elbic name for Elba, is /'elba/, the definite article '''la''' is /la/, and '''nu napoletannu''' ''a Neapolitan'' is /nu napolɛ'tan:u/. ==Nominal morphology== Nouns in Elbic belong to one of two genders, masculine or feminine. The vast majority of nouns end in a vowel, and all nouns form their plurals by suffixing '''s''': * '''duomnu''' (lord) —> '''duomnus''' * '''acqua''' (water) —> '''acquas''' * '''princêppi''' (prince) —> '''princêppis * '''parti''' (part, section) —> '''partis''' * '''mannu''' (hand) —> '''mannus''' * '''zi''' (day) —> '''zis''' Generally speaking, nouns that end in '''u''' are masculine and nouns that end in '''a''' are feminine (although this is not always so: '''mannu''' is feminine, for example). Nouns ending in other vowels might belong to either gender, although there are some observable patterns. For example, * nouns ending in '''ionni''' ('''stazionni''' "station", e.g.) are feminine * nouns ending in '''atti''' ('''universitatti''' "university", e.g.) are feminine * nouns ending in '''orri''' ('''amorri''' "love", e.g.) are masculine ===Articles=== Elbic has two types of articles, definite and indefinite, each of which has five forms. The forms of the definite article are as follows: {| ! || Masc. || Fem. || Before vowel |- | '''Sing.''' || lu || la || l' |- | '''Plur.''' || lus || las || * |} Plural nouns that begin with a vowel use the normal plural forms. For example, '''lu duomnu''' (the lord), '''las mannus''' (the hands), '''l'universitatti''' (the university), '''lus amorris''' (the loves). The forms of the indefinite article are as follows: {| ! || Masc. || Fem. || Before vowel |- | '''Sing.''' || nu || na || n' |- | '''Plur.''' || nus || nas || * |} Plural nouns that begin with a vowel use the normal plural forms. The plural indefinite article is equivalent to English "some" or French "des". The definite article contracts with the prepositions '''a''' (at, to, towards), '''da''' (from, of), '''in''' (in, at, on), and '''su''' (around, on). ====Contraction with ''a''==== {| ! ''a'' || Masc. || Fem. || Before vowel |- | '''Sing.''' || allu || alla || all' |- | '''Plur.''' || allus || allas || * |} ====Contraction with ''da''==== {| ! ''da'' || Masc. || Fem. || Before vowel |- | '''Sing.''' || dallu || dalla || dall' |- | '''Plur.''' || dallus || dallas || * |} ====Contraction with ''in''==== {| !

''a'' || Masc. || Fem. || Before vowel |- | '''Sing.''' || sullu || sulla || sull' |- | '''Plur.''' || sullus || sullas || * |} ==Pronominal morphology== Elbic pronouns, like nouns, distinguish two numbers and between two and five cases. In the third person, there is a masculine-feminine distinction, as well. The cases shown by the pronouns are the following: for the first and second person pronouns, nominative, genitive, and oblique-reflexive cases are distinguished. For the impersonal pronoun '''si''', the nominative and the oblique-reflexive are identical. For the third person pronouns, nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, and reflexive are distinguished, and there exist special disjunctive forms, as well. ===First person=== The first person pronoun declines as follows: {| ! || Sing. || Plur. |- | '''Nom.''' || giu || nus |- | '''Gen.''' || miu || nuostru |- | '''O.-R.''' || mi || nui |} ===Second person=== The second person pronoun declines as follows: {| ! || Sing. || Plur. |- | '''Nom.''' || tu || vus |- | '''Gen.''' || tiu || vuostru |- | '''O.-R.''' || ti || vui |} ===Third person=== The third person pronoun declines as follows: {| | || Masc. || || Fem. |- ! || Sing. || Plur. || Sing. || Plur. |- | '''Nom.''' || ell || ells || ella || ellas |- | '''Gen.''' || siu || lôrru || siu || larru |- | '''Dat.''' || lhi || lhis || lhi || lhis |- | '''Acc.''' || lu/l' || lus || la/l' || las |- | '''Ref.''' || si || si || si || si |- | '''Disj.''' || ellu || ellus || ella || ellas |} ==Verbal morphology== Elbic verbs can be classified into five groups; four of them are distinguished by their infinitive endings while the fifth comprises irregular verbs. * First conjugation infinitives end in '''arri''', e.g. '''parlarri''' ''speak'' * Second conjugation infinitives end in '''erri''', e.g. '''vêderri''' ''see'' * Third conjugation infinitives end in '''ri''', e.g. '''priëndri''' ''take'' * Fourth conjugation infinitives end in '''irri''', e.g. '''finirri''' ''finish'' * Irregular verbs' infinitives look like infinitives for one of the other four conjugations There are two important notes about verb conjugation. Some finite endings cause palatalization of the preceding consonant: {| ! Normal || Palatalized |- | c || x |- | ch || c |- | g || gi |- | gh || g |- | t || ç |- | d || z |- | l || lh |- | n || gn |} Additionally, any verbs, most notably verbs of the third conjugation, whose final stem vowel is short '''e''' or '''o''' will diphthongize when that vowel is stressed to '''ië''' or '''uo'''. Thus, the stem of the third conjugation verb '''priëndri''' is actually *'''prend''', but because the stress falls on the stem vowel, it has diphthongized even in the infinitive. All verbs are conjugated by removing the infinitive ending and adding various suffixes. The conjugation patterns for regular verbs, as well as for the irregular verbs '''esserri''' ''be'' and '''averri''' ''have''. Additionally, it should be noted that many verbs, especially of the second and third conjugations, have irregular preterite stems. For example, '''vêderri''' ''see'' has the preterite stem '''vid''' (e.g. '''vidì''' ''I saw''). The irregular preterite stem is used in both the indicative and the subjunctive. ===First conjugation=== The conjugation of first conjugation verbs in '''arri''' is shown below. ====Finite forms==== The finite forms of the first conjugation are as follows: {| border=1 !

'''Ésshe''' is conjugated as follows: {| border=1 | || Present Indicative || Simple Past Indicative || Imperfect Indicative || Future Indicative || Present Subjunctive || Imperfect Subjunctive || Present Conditional |- | 1Ps || sonno || fui || ero || shero || sea || fuissa || srhi |- | 2Ps || sei || fuiste || erai || sherai || seai || fuissai || srhei |- | 3Ps || é || fuo || era || shera || sea || fuissa || srhi |- | 1Pp || sammo || fuimo || erammo || sheremmo || seammo || fuissammo || srhimmo |- | 2Pp || satte || fuisti || eratte|| sheratte || seatte || fuissatte || srhitte |- | 3Pp || sanno || fuirono || eranno || sheranno || seanno || fuissanno || srhinno |} And here is the conjugation of '''avhe''': {| border=1 | || Present Indicative || Simple Past Indicative || Imperfect Indicative || Future Indicative || Present Subjunctive || Imperfect Subjunctive || Present Conditional |- | 1Ps || ho || hi || avevo || avrho || he || hissa || avrhi |- | 2Ps || hai || histe || avevai || avrhai || hei || hissai || avrhei |- | 3Ps || ha || hio || aveva || avrha || he || hissa || avrhi |- | 1Pp || hammo || himo || avevammo || avrhemmo || hemmo || hissammo || avrhimmo |- | 2Pp || hatte || histi || avevatte|| avrhatte || hette || hissatte || avrhitte |- | 3Pp || hanno || hirono || avevanno || avrhanno || henno || hissanno || avrhinno |} Also, the conjugationn of '''andha''', "to go". {| border=1 | || Present Indicative || Simple Past Indicative || Imperfect Indicative || Future Indicative || Present Subjunctive || Imperfect Subjunctive || Present Conditional |- | 1Ps || vo || fui || ivo || vharo || ve || fuissa || vrhi |- | 2Ps || vai || fuiste || ivai || vharai || vei || fuissai || vrhei |- | 3Ps || va || fuo || iva || vhara || ve || fuissa || vhri |- | 1Pp || andammo || fuimo || ivammo || vharemmo || vemmo || fuissammo || vrhimmo |- | 2Pp || andatte || fuisti || ivatte|| vharatte || vette || fuissatte || vrhitte |- | 3Pp || vanno || fuirono || ivanno || vharanno || venno || fuissanno || vrhinno |} The conjugation of '''bhe''', "to drink". {| border=1 | || Present Indicative || Simple Past Indicative || Imperfect Indicative || Future Indicative || Present Subjunctive || Imperfect Subjunctive || Present Conditional |- | 1Ps || beo || bi || bia || bhero || bea || beissa || brhi |- | 2Ps || bei || beiste || biai || bherai || beai || beissai || brhei |- | 3Ps || bè || beio || bia || bhera || bea || beissa || brhi |- | 1Pp || bemmo || beimo || biammo || bheremmo || beammo || beissammo || brhimmo |- | 2Pp || bette || beisti || biatte|| bheratte || beatte || beissatte || brhitte |- | 3Pp || benno || beirono || bianno || bheranno || beanno || beissanno || brhinno |} The conjugation of '''dha''', "to give". {| border=1 | || Present Indicative || Simple Past Indicative || Imperfect Indicative || Future Indicative || Present Subjunctive || Imperfect Subjunctive || Present Conditional |- | 1Ps || duo || di || dia || dharo || due || dassa || drhi |- | 2Ps || duai || daste || diai || dharai || duei || dassai || drhei |- | 3Ps || dua || dò || dia || dhara || due || dassa || drhi |- | 1Pp || duammo || damo || diammo || dharemmo || duemmo || dassammo || drhimmo |- | 2Pp || duatte || dasti || diatte|| dharatte || duette || dassatte || drhitte |- | 3Pp || duanno || darono || dianno || dharanno || duenno || dassanno || drhinno |} Finally, the conjugation of '''fha''', "to make; do". {| border=1 | || Present Indicative || Simple Past Indicative || Imperfect Indicative || Future Indicative || Present Subjunctive || Imperfect Subjunctive || Present Conditional |- | 1Ps || fuo || fi || fia || fharo || fue || fassa || frhi |- | 2Ps || fuai || faste || fiai || fharai || fuei || fassai || frhei |- | 3Ps || fua || fò || fia || fhara || fue || fassa || frhi |- | 1Pp || fuammo || famo || fiammo || frhemmo || fuemmo || fassammo || frhimmo |- | 2Pp || fuatte || fasti || fiatte|| fharatte || fuette || fassatte || frhitte |- | 3Pp || fuanno || farono || fianno || fharanno || fuenno || fassanno || frhinno |} ==Verb Conjugation: Compound Tenses== Elbic compound tenses are formed by combining a conjugated form of one verb and one of the participles of another. Most are formed with '''avhe''', but the passive and progressive tenses are formed with '''ésshe''' and the periphrastic future is formed with '''andha'''. ===Forming the Participles=== Elbic verbs have three participles. The Latin inflected passive has in Elbic become a passive participle. The Latin past and present participles are retained as well. To form any participle, add certain endings to the end of the '''full infinitive''' of a verb. These endings are: * Passive Participle: '''-tto''' * Perfect Participle: '''-tte''' * Present Participle: '''-nte''' ===Compound Tenses with Avhe=== The tenses formed with '''avhe''' are the perfect tenses. They are formed by placing the various tenses of '''avhe''' before the perfect participle. The various tenses are: * '''Perfect''': present '''avhe'''+perfect participle ('''ho fhatte''': I have done) * '''Pluperfect''': imperfect '''avhe'''+perfect participle ('''hia fhatte''': I had done) * '''Remote Pluperfect''': simple past '''avhe'''+perfect participle ('''hi fhatte''': I had done) * '''Future Perfect''': future '''avhe'''+perfect participle ('''avrho fhatte''': I will have done) * '''Conditional Perfect: conditional '''avhe'''+perfect participle ('''avrhi fhatte''': I would have done) ===Compound Tenses with Ésshe=== The "tenses" formed with '''ésshe''' are all of the passive voice tenses and the progressive tenses. The passive voice tenses are formed quite simply. The generic passive voice is the '''ésshe'''+the passive participle of a verb. * '''É disshitto chè...''': it is said that... Note, however, that the passive voice may also be formed in an impersonal manner, using the pronoun '''sè''', ''one''. We'll talk more about this later. There are also two progressive tenses, the present and imperfect progressives. They are formed simply: place the appropriate form of '''ésshe''' before the present participle of the verb. * '''Sonno disshinte chè...''': I am saying that... * '''Erai disshinte chè...''': you were saying that... ===Compound Tenses with Andha=== '''Andha''' is used in the construction of a periphrastic future tense. To form this tense, place an appropriately conjugated form of '''andha''' before the present participle of the verb. * '''Vo hdisshinte chè...''': I'm going to say that... * '''Fuiste hdisshinte chè...''': you were going to say that... ==Verbal Morphology: Imperatives== The imperative is used to give commands. There are a number imperatives in Elbic. Firstly, the second person singular, covering the informal '''tu'''. Secondly, the first person plural, covering such constructions as ''let us go'', and agreeing with the pronoun '''noi'''. Finally, the second person plural, covering '''voi''', whether used as a singular or plural pronoun. The imperative forms differ depending on whether the command is affirmative (''do that'') or negative (''don't do that''). In many cases, object pronouns are affixed as clitics to the imperative verbs. In each entry, there is a note of how this is done. Note, finally, that there are a number of irregular imperatives. Where these exist, they will be noted. * The second person singular affirmative ending is the same as the third person singular present indicative ending. When clitic pronouns are attached to this imperative, place an -'''h'''- before the penultimate vowel of the word: '''parla''' ''speak''>'''pharlame''' ''speak to me''. If the imperative begins with a vowel or with '''h''', the final vowel is instead removed from the clitic pronoun and precedes the verb: '''aprende''' ''learn''>'''l'aprende''' ''learn it''. * The second person singular negative ending is the same as the second person singular present subjunctive ending. When clitic pronouns are attached to this imperative, remove the final -'''i''' from it: '''non parlei''' ''don't speak''>'''non parlemi'''>''don't speak to me''. If the imperative begins with a vowel or with '''h''', the final vowel is instead removed from the clitic pronoun and it precedes the verb: '''non aprendai''' ''don't learn''>'''non l'aprendai''' ''don't learn it''. * The first person plural affirmative ending is the same as the first person plural present indicative ending. There are no changes when clitic pronouns are attached to this imperative: '''parlammo''' ''let's speak''>'''parlammole''' ''let's speak to him''. If the imperative begins with a vowel or with '''h''', the final vowel is instead removed from the clitic pronoun and precedes the verb: '''aprendemmo''' ''let's learn''>'''l'aprendemmo''' ''let's learn it''. * The first person plural negative ending is the same as the first person plural present subjunctive ending. There are no changes when clitic pronouns are attached to this imperative: '''non parlemmo''' ''let's not speak''>'''non parlemmole''' ''let's not speak to him''. If the imperative begins with a vowel or with '''h''', the final vowel is instead removed from the clitic pronoun and precedes the verb: '''non aprendammo''' ''let's not learn''>'''non l'aprendammo''' ''let's not learn it''. * The second person plural/formal affirmative ending is the same as the second person plural present subjunctive ending. There are no changes when clitic pronouns are attached to this imperative: '''parlette''' ''speak''>'''parlettele''' ''speak to him''. If the imperative begins with a vowel or with '''h''', the final vowel is instead removed from the clitic pronoun and precedes the verb: '''aprendatte''' ''learn''>'''l'aprendatte''' ''learn it''. * The second person plural/formal negative ending is the same as the second person plural present indicative ending. There are no changes when clitic pronouns are attached to this imperative: '''non parlatte''' ''don't speak''>'''non parlattele''' ''don't speak to him''. If the imperative begins with a vowel or with '''h''', the final vowel is instead removed from the clitic pronoun and precedes the verb: '''non aprendette''' ''don't learn''>'''non l'aprendette''' ''don't learn it''. ==Tense Clarification: Simple Past== The simple past is in many ways the most complicated of Elbic's many tenses. This section will attempt to clarify it. ===Simple Past vs. Imperfect=== On the surface, these two tenses are similar. Both describe past events. However, there are many differences. The simple past is used to... * ...describe events that occurred at a specific past time, with definite beginnings and ends. * ...describe events that occurred only once. * ...describe events in a story. The imperfect is used to... * ...describe events that occurred at an indefinite time, or over a long, undefined period. * ...describe events that occurred habitually. * ...form the imperfect progressive. ===Simple Past vs. Perfect=== The simple past is even closer to the perfect. In fact, the simple past is often used in place of the perfect. The perfect typically occurs once every paragraph or so and is from then on replaced with the simple past. Usually the perfect is not used more than once or twice every few minutes in colloquial speech, though the simple past is in contrast almost never used, replaced exclusively by the perfect, in formal discussions. ===Simple Past vs. Pluperfects=== The simple past and the pluperfects seem similar, but there is an important difference: the pluperfects are used in only one place: when describing events that occurred at a specific time, with definite beginnings and ends (or only occurring once), ''before other events''. The pluperfects are only used where English would use ''had done something'' and similar constructions. The remote pluperfect is especially select: it can only be used when something pluperfect occurred at a distant past time (usually more than a year before the speaking). ==The Soft Mutation== There are two cases where the soft mutation occurs. Every conjugated verb causes the soft mutation in the word following it. This often occurs with the periphrastic future, and in fact is seen in both of the examples above. It also occurs in any case of a conjugated verb followed by another word: '''nechésitha''', '''chirhe''', '''dovhe''', anything. * '''Nechésito hchiamha a mme má''': I need to call my mom. * '''Chiro hchiamha a mme má''': I want to call my mom. * '''Dovo hchiamha a mme má''': I should call my mom. This seems an opportune time to mention also that '''a''', ''to'', causes the geminate mutation, and '''de''', ''of'', ''from'', causes the soft mutation. The other time where the soft mutation occurs is adjectives. Adjectives can either precede or follow the noun they modify, with the difference only in emphasis. When adjectives are describing feminine or neuter nouns, one of two things can happen: * The adjective precedes the feminine or neuter noun. If the adjective is singular, the soft mutation occurs on the noun. If the adjective is plural and feminine, the soft mutation occurs on the noun. * The feminine or neuter noun precedes the adjective. If the noun is singular, the soft mutation occurs on the adjective. If the noun is plural and feminine, the soft mutation occurs on the adjective. * '''Lu ffrasu hbuonu''': the good sentence * '''Na nnova hcossina''': a new kitchen * '''Gorde hnapolitanne''': fat Neapolitans (an Elban sterotype) ==Adjectives== Adjectives are words that describe a noun. Adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. There are two types of adjectives: -o-a-u adjectives have six forms; -e adjectives only two. The adjectives inflect as follows: {| border=1 | || Masculine|| Feminine|| Neuter |- | Singular -o-a-u || -o || -a || -u |- | Plural -o-a-u || -i || -e || -e |- | Singular -e || -e || -e || -e |- | Plural -e || -i || -i || -i |- |} So "the good sentence" is '''lu ffrasu hbuonu''' (remember the soft mutation!), and "the beautiful kitchens" is '''le bbelle hcossine'''. An adjective always has the endings shown here, regardless of the ending of the noun: '''il patre buon''o'''''; '''la mmatre hbell''a'''''. ===Telling the Difference=== -o-a-u adjectives are so named because of the different endings they take in the singular. When reading an unfamiliar adjective, try to determine whether the noun is singular or plural. Based on that, match the noun's gender and number on this table to the ending it has. ==The Origin of Mutations== This section describes, briefly, the generally agreed upon origin of the Elbic consonantal mutations. ===The Geminate Mutation=== The soft mutation's origin is quite simple. It occurs in two places: after the feminine and neuter articles, and after the preposition '''a'''. The geminate mutation originated in the town dialect of La Mmarina de hMarcianna * The description of the geminate mutation after '''a''' is simple: '''a''' comes from the Latin '''ad'''. The '''-d''', over time, shifted to attach itself to the word after it: '''ad cassa''' > '''a dcassa'''. This extraneous '''d-''' soon shifted to match the initial consonant of the word it was applying to: '''a ccassa'''. * The progression for the feminine and neuter articles is a bit less straightforward. The Elbic article derives from Latin demonstratives. These gradually shifted in meaning from a classifier ("this sentence") to a definer ("the sentence"). The geminate after the article evolved by a vague analogy to the '''a ccassa''' situation. There were originally two '''l''''s in the Latin demonstratives. When the initial vowel disappeared in those, the now-initial '''l''' moved to be word-final. Gradually, it slipped across to the adjacent word and was assimilated similarly to (though over a longer period of time than) the '''-d''' of '''ad''' (it shifted first to a non-lateral approximant, '''r''', then by analogy with '''ad''' to a voiced plosive, '''d''', then assimilated at in the same manner that the '''-d''' did): '''illa cassa''' > '''lla cassa''' > '''la lcassa''' > '''la rcassa''' > '''la dcassa''' > '''la ccassa'''. Of course, this is mostly speculation, and it may just be a borrowing from Neapolitan: there was a fairly large influx of Neapolitan immigrants to Elba in the mid-16th century. ===The Soft Mutation=== The soft mutation is a bit more difficult to rationalize as an Elbic-only developement. Fortunately, it is not. It evolved as a dialectical variation on the pronunciation of initial consonants, similar to the famed "Tuscan gorgia". In Elbic, the soft mutation originally began as a stress movement. But gradually, by way of trade with neighboring Tuscany, it began to soften or change the initial consonant. The reasons for its placement are yet unknown: it probably began as a stress shift in words starting with a consonant after '''de''', and a similar shift in the context of feminine and neuter adjectives, then evolved parallel to the Tuscan gorgia. The soft mutation was originally a dialectical variation of Portoferraho. ===Standardization=== Little observed by the world, the Elbic language was ruthlessly standardized in the mid-17th century, around the time of its emergence as an individual language. The Elban '''Forza Par Independenza''', a movement for independence from Italy, devised a new spelling system for Elbic, still used to this day, and also standardized both mutations to further differentiate between Elbic and Italian. There was some grumbling, but the Elbans seemed to know that the independence movement would be the second most interesting thing about their island in the future, so they grudgingly, gradually accepted it. In fact, this proved to be for the better, as the FPI instituted a number of public schools where children were taught the FPI-approved standard dialect. Thus, in a mere generation, and about the time that the FPI came to an end, collapsing in on itself, the Elbic langauge was standardized. In the centuries since, there are still few dialects of Elbic, and overall the dialects that there are (most notably a minority group in Tuscany which does not use the geminate mutation) are small enough that they will probably disappear, incorporated into mainstream Italian, within another century or so. ==Spelling Conventions== There are a few important spelling rules in Elbic. * First, and most important: ''always spell correctly''. This applies to any language, really. * Second: ''always include an orthographic '''h'''''. Even if it's redundant (as in '''cánthara'''). It's an important part of the spelling of a word, even if it doesn't seem like it. * Third: ''when geminating a capitalized noun, the first of the pair of geminated consonants is capitalized''. As in '''La ''M''marina de hMarcianna'''. * Fourth: ''when softening a capitalized noun, the softening '''h''' is lowercase.'' As in '''parlo ''h''Francesse'''. * Fifth: '''''i''' (''and'') before '''i''' is spelt (and pronounced) as '''e'''.'' As in '''Tintin ''e'' i Picari'''. ==Links== * [[Elbic Swadesh list]] [[Category:A posteriori conlangs]] [[Category:Ill Bethisad]] [[Category:Romance conlangs]] [[Category:Elbic]] Khangaþyagon Verbs 2302 51660 2010-02-02T13:24:10Z PeteBleackley 179 Improved explanation of the reflexive passive ==Verbs== Khangaþyagon is an agglutinating language, and its grammatical affixes are suffixes - the native term is segunakar, "follow-parts". ===Stem, Person, Infinitive and Participles=== The stem of a verb always ends in a consonant.

The root may be followed by segunakar of up to six ranks. Each rank of segunak performs a particular grammatical role, and complex combinations of segunakar of different ranks are possible. The term &quot;case&quot; is not used in relation to Khangaþyagon nouns - the sheer variety of different grammatical forms a noun can take means that it isn't a very useful concept. The ranks of segunakar are given below in the order they follow the root. ===modsegunakar=== These are deixis markers. ;il:this ;ban:that ;dau:what ;she:no ;wo:any ;ye:topical vocative. Marks the noun as referring to the person addressed when it occurs in any role other than the subject of a second person sentence (which obviously refers to the addressee, so isn't marked). ===densegunakar=== Proximity markers. In the noun phrase A B-densegunak, the densegunak indicates how closely A is associated with B. ;ut:at ;eb:in contact ;art:with ;ash:without ;iss:near ;orr:far ===radsegunakar=== Position markers. A B-radsegunak indicates where A is in relation to B. ;ip:in ;sta:outside ;omb:around ;gri:above ;od:below ;shing:left ;hop:beside ;urþ:right ;æks:alligned with ;tuk:in front of ;ðen:behind ===karvsegunakar=== Sense of motion ;am:destination ;ig:origin ;gu:path ===sintsegunakar=== Abstract relationships ;uz:of ;ol:by (instrumental) ;akh:to (recipient) ;ku:about ;ung:for (benefactive) ;zen:on behalf of ;aug:for (goal, reason) ;yat:against ===bantsegunak=== Number ;(a)r:Plural ===Paradigm Summary=== The form of the noun is therefore <nowiki>stem+[deixis]+{[proximity]+[position]+[motion],[abstract]}+[number]</nowiki> {{NavBar|Back_dest=Khangaþyagon Verbs|Back_name=Verbs|Up_dest=Khangaþyagon Morphology|Up_name=Morphology|Next_dest=Khangaþyagon Adjectives|Next_name=Adjectives}} Talk:Senjecan lexicon roots a-ð 2307 9559 2006-05-30T19:21:07Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Talk:Lexicon roots a-ð moved to Talk:Senjecan lexicon roots a-ð The grey box appeared because you used spaces. If you start each line with one or more spaces, then it will make a grey box. If instead, you use colon, there'll be no space. For example: <nowiki>:A001 âa, ''inter.'' ah!

So, if you want to get rid of the grey box, just take out all the spaces and replace them with colons.

The stem is followed by the following segunakar, in the order they follow the root. ===Negation=== ;she:forms antonyms ===Degree=== ;ikhim:superlative ;ezhm:comparative ;dedu:reductive (less) ;kokra:minimative (least) ===Noun agreement=== Khangaþyagon adjectives agree with the noun, and thus carry all the segunakar that the nouns they qualify carry. One exception to this is cardinal numbers, since all cardinal numbers greater than one are implicitly plural, they do not carry plural marking, but they do agree with all other segunakar on the noun. ===Examples of antonyms and negation agreement=== As the segunak &quot;she&quot; can occur either to form an antonym or in agreement with a negated noun, it may seem ambiguous what it means in a given context. Here are some examples that illustrate how to disambiguate them with the help of some worthy and unworthy men. ;rik nello:worthy man ;rik nelloshe:unworthy man ;rikshe nelloshe:no worthy man ;rikshe nellosheshe:no unworthy man ;rik nelloezhm:worthier man ;rik nellosheezhm:unworthier man ;rikshe nelloezhmshe:no worthier man ;rikshe nellosheezhmshe:no unworthier man ===Adjective/verb compounding=== When an adjective is used as the predicate of a sentence, rather than qualifying the noun, it compounds with the verb, forming an adjectival verb. This occurs most frequently with the verbs ;dah-:be ;vlant-:become ;ap-:make, cause In this case there is no noun agreement. Verb compounding follows negation and degree. ===Paradigm Summary=== In general the form of an adjective is <nowiki> stem+[negation]+[degree]+{noun agreement,verb} </nowiki> {{NavBar|Back_dest=Khangaþyagon Nouns|Back_name=Nouns|Up_dest=Khangaþyagon Morphology|Up_name=Morphology|Next_dest=Khangaþyagon Adverbs etc|Next_name=Adverbs, Pronouns and Conjunctions}} Senjecan culture 2314 41198 2008-12-25T01:53:47Z Caeruleancentaur 11 [[Senjecan anatomy and physiology]] [[Senjecan animals]] [[Senjecan colors]] [[Senjecan correspondences]] [[Senjecan cuisine]] [[Senjecan dice game]] [[Senjecan heraldry]] [[Senjecan marc]] [[Senjecan polite expressions]] [[Senjecan religion]] [[Senjecan society]] [[Senjecan time and calendar]] Senjecan anatomy and physiology 2315 44681 2009-04-15T15:25:10Z Caeruleancentaur 11 /* The Pyrans. */ =[[Senjecan pronunciation guide]]= =Introduction= The names of the five loquent peoples (other than human) in English are formed on the pattern of the word "human" from the Latin '''humus''', earth, but derived rather from the Greek, than from the Latin. *The Children of Air, the first created, are called '''ethrans''' (/iTr@n/) from the Greek '''aether''', air. In Senjecas they are called <font color=blue>iðrĭônus</font>. *The Children of Fire, the second created, are called '''pyrans''' (/pair@n/) from the Greek '''pyr''', fire. In Senjecas they are called <font color=blue>punĭônus</font>. *The Children of Water, the third created, are called '''hydorans''' (/"haidor@n/) from the Greek '''hydor''', water. In Senjecas they are called <font color=blue>aɱdĭônus</font>. *The Children of Earth, the fourth created, are called humans from the Latin '''humus''', earth. In Senjecas they are called <font color=blue>ertĭônus</font>. *The Children of Wood, the fifth created, are called '''xylans''' (/zail@n/) from the Greek '''xylos''', wood. In Senjecas they are called <font color=blue>кŭalĭônus</font>. *The Children of Stone, the sixth created, are called '''lithans''' (/lIT@n/) from the Greek '''lithos''', stone. In Senjecas they are called <font color=blue>ondĭônus</font>. *Some general descriptions: #All the peoples, save the ethrans and the humans, have a tapetum which enhances their night vision. #All the peoples, save the hydorans, have hemoglobin as the blood oxygen carrier. The hydorans have [[wikipedia:hemocyanin|hemocyanin]], which colors their blood blue. #The six peoples are each a different species, thus there is no interbreeding. Sexual activity is, however, possible between those peoples of the same size. #The excretory, digestive, circulatory, respiratory and endocrine systems function in basically the same ways in all the peoples. #In those peoples that procreate, the females possess only two functional breasts. #In those peoples that procreate, the pyrans and the humans have a gestation period of ten lunar months. For the hydorans and the lithans the gestation period is seven lunar months. #The males of all the peoples possess a foreskin. =The Ethrans.= *The Ethrans are much like humans in anatomy and physiology. They are, on the average, the same height and weight as humans. Their hair is pure white, although the hair of the sundered ethrans has turned black. Among the male ethrans, some have body hair and some do not, similar to the humans. Their eyes are the light blue color of the sky. In a manner similar to [[wikipedia:electric eel|electric eels]], their somatic cells are designed to be conduits of the energy in earth mistakenly called magic. [[wikipedia:dentition|Dentition]] is the same as in humans. *In the beginning of creation they were all created at the same time, thus there is no procreation. But there are two sexes, complete with sex organs, although without ovaries or testicles, and sex is enjoyed for pleasure. With the sundered ethrans, sex becomes a means of domination. *The ethrans are immortal. *In the tales and legends of humans, the ethrans have been transmogrified into wizards, mages, ''etc''. Some cultures remember them as angels. =The Pyrans.= *The Pyrans are much like humans in anatomy and physiology. They are, on the average, the same height as humans. Although much more slender than humans, they are very muscular. They are one of the three peoples that are hollow-boned (<font color=blue>кûlmis</font>), in a manner similar to birds. Their hair can be various shades of red and is usually worn in a ponytail. Their eyes seem to be a golden color, but this is really a light shade of brown. Their visual acuity is exceptional; they are [[wikipedia:tetrachromacy|tetrachromatic]] and can see in the infrared range. They have no body hair, except in the axillae and groin. Dentition is the same as in humans. *They may engage in sex at any time, but the female is in estrus only in the fall. Gestation is ten months long and one child, rarely two, is born in the spring. The sex of the child is by chance as with humans. *The average life span of a Pyran is about 200 years. *In the tales and legends of Humans, the Pyrans have been transmogrified into elves. =The Hydorans.= *The Hydorans average half the height of a human and are very slender. They are one of the hollow-boned peoples and thus are very light. They possess in their knees a structure similar to that found in [[wikipedia:flea|fleas]] which enables them to jump a great distance. Their hair is blond and they have no body hair at all. Their eyes are blue but a darker blue than that of the Ethrans. Their hands have proportionally longer fingers and are partially webbed which facilitates swimming. Just under the mandibular angle below the ear on either side is one [[wikipedia:gill|gill slit]], which is used both for respiration and the excretion of electrolytes when in the water. It is covered by a muscular flap which prevents desiccation when on land. These gills do not function in salt water. There are valves that close off the nostrils and ears when they dive. Dentition is the same as in Humans. *They may engage in sex at any time, but the female is in estrus only in the fall. [[wikipedia:chromosome|Chromosomes]] comparable to the x and y chromosomes are found in the ova rather than in the sperm. The left ovary produces the female chromosome and the right the male. Both ovulate at the same time and, after a gestation of seven months a twin boy and girl are born. Because of their slightness the children often fall prey to predatory animals. *The average life span of a Hydoran is about 100 years. *In the tales and legends of Humans, the Hydorans have been transmogrified into fairies. =The Humans.= *You know all about the Humans. =The Xylans.= *The Xylans average about 10 feet tall and they are proportionately wide, but they are one of the hollow-boned peoples and thus lighter than they seem. There are valves in the veins in their legs and abdomen which assist the return flow of blood. The larynx and nasal passages are proportionately larger and their blood is rich in [[wikipedia:erythrocyte|erythrocytes]], a large amount of which are stored in the [[wikipedia:spleen|spleen]] for emergency use. All this combines to make them superior sprinters and runners. Their hair is dark brown and, but for their bearded faces, they are covered with hair; not in the manner of a [[wikipedia:yeti|yeti]] or [[wikipedia:sasquatch|sasquatch]], but as in human males who are extremely hirsute. The pubic hair is long and covers the genitals. Their eyes are a brilliant green. Dentition consists of one more set of molars than in human dentition, being 2-1-2-4. The [[wikipedia:maxilla|maxilla]] and the [[wikipedia:mandible|mandible]] are not hollow-boned and the [[wikipedia:masseter|masseter]] muscle is proportionally more massive to facilitate the cracking of the nuts that comprise a large part of the diet. The [[wikipedia:temporalis|temporalis]] muscle is attached to a [[wikipedia:sagittal crest|sagittal crest]]. They can hear frequencies both above and below those perceptible by the other peoples. *There are no female Xylans. The males possess a penis but lack testicles. *The Xylans are not susceptible to natural death, but they can be killed. *In the tales and legends of humans, the Xylans have been transmogrified into giants. =The Lithans.= *The Lithans, too, average half the height of a human, but are much stockier. Being solid-boned, they are much heavier than the Hydorans. In imagining a Lithan, do not think [[wikipedia:Gimli (Middle Earth)|Gimli]]. Think rather of robust [[wikipedia:munchkin|munchkins]]. I suppose some might say they were midgets rather than dwarves. Their hair is jet black and the males are rather hirsute. Upon being married, the male is permitted to let his beard grow. Their eyes are violet. Dentition is the same as in the humans. *They may engage in sex at any time, but the female is in estrus only every three years. The gestation period is about nine months and the birth of one child, never twins, occurs in the spring. *The average life span of a Lithan is about 300 years. *In the tales and legends of Humans, the Lithans have been transmogrified into dwarves. Senjecan animals 2316 53024 2010-04-13T15:47:44Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Accents updated. ===[[Senjecan pronunciation guide]]=== ===Introduction=== There are several animals which have a close association with each of the Loquent Peoples. Two groups in especial are those known as the steeds and the companions. Each of the Peoples has an animal that best suits it as a steed. And each people has discovered an animal that shares its domestic life. ===The Ethrans.=== *Because of their need to travel to and from their mountain pinnacle fastnesses in a timely fashion, the Ethrans need a winged steed. They have found this in the animal later known as a [[wikipedia:pegasus|Pegasus]], pterippus, or flying horse. In Senjecas it is called a [[Senjecan marc|<font color=blue>márк]]es</font> (''Megadorcas volans''). In reality it is not an [[wikipedia:equid|equid]], but a member of the family [[wikipedia:bovidae|Bovidae]], subfamily [[wikipedia:antilopinae|Antilopinae]], having a cloven hoof and chewing a cud, but lacking horns or antlers. The ancestor (apparently related to [[wikipedia:pantholops hodgsonii|''Pantholops hodgsonii'']]) was a much smaller animal that lived in the mountains and a mutation for wings gave it an advantage in escaping from predators. A descendant settled on the steppes, became a grazer instead of a browzer, and increased in size. The general body conformation does resemble that of a horse but, unlike the wild equids, it possesses a flowing mane. The tail also marks it as bovine rather than equine. The mark is hollow-boned for lightness. The wing [[wikipedia:humerus|humerus]] is attached to the upper side of an enlarged [[wikipedia:scapula|scapula]], the foreleg humerus being attached to the lower side. The chest is rather massive containing as it does the muscles for both the wing and the foreleg. As with the larger birds, a running start is necessary to become airborne. The early ancestor merely jumped off the side of the mountain! The descendant still retains the musculature in the hindquarters for leaping. Surprisingly, the wings are covered with feathers and not hair. Five color variants have been bred, one for each of the orders of Ethrans (the elementals do not use steeds): gray for the archimages, palomino for the mages, sorrel for the archons, chestnut for the adepts, and brown for the guardians. Of course, breeding registers are maintained. Specimens of undesirable coloration are not bred (the bucks are [[wikipedia:gelding|gelded]]), but they are cared for until they die which could be as long as 30 years. The females are known as does. ====Taxonomic Table==== *kingdom - [[wikipedia:animalia|Animalia]] **phylum - [[wikipedia:chordata|Chordata]] ***subphylum - [[wikipedia:vertebrata|Vertebrata]] ****class - [[wikipedia:mammalia|Mammalia]] *****subclass - [[wikipedia:theria|Theria]] ******infraclass - [[wikipedia:metatheria|Metatheria]] *******order - [[wikipedia:artiodactyla|Artiodactyla]] ********family - [[wikipedia:bovidae|Bovidae]] *********subfamily - [[wikipedia:antilopinae|Antilopinae]] **********genus - Megadorcas ***********species - volans *As companions, the Ethrans have the [[wikipedia:gyrfalcon|gyrfalcon]] (''Falco rusticolus''), <font color=blue>ſnìłooćórles</font>, which they use for hunting. *They also breed carrier [[wikipedia:pigeon|pigeons]] (''Columba livia''), <font color=blue>vènкëtúútes</font>, for sending messages from pinnacle to pinnacle. Each of the ethran citadels contains a [[wikipedia:dovecote|dovecote]] for the breeding of carrier pigeons. *Every citadel also has a flock of geese for food. ===The Pyrans.=== *The Pyran steed is the [[wikipedia:ostrich|ostrich]] (†''Megastruthio sinensis''), <font color=blue>ȝáánes</font>, a species now extinct, bigger than the present-day ''Struthio camelus''. (A fossil ostrich egg has been found in China.) Astride these great birds, they herd their flocks of goats. *Their companion is the [[wikipedia:cheetah|cheetah]] (''Acinonyx jubatus''), <font color=blue>níbes</font>, a cat adapted for life on the grasslands. Between the ostrich and the cheetah, the Pyrans can fend off most predators of their flocks. Any too big for them to handle will fall victim to a Pyran arrow. *The Pyrans herd [[wikipedia:Goat|goats]] (†''Capra aegagrus donensis''), <font color=blue>ħádes</font>, a breed that they developed from the [[wikipedia:West Caucasian Tur|tur]] (''Capra caucasica'') to produce large quantities of milk and wool. The breed, although now extinct, may have some relationship to the present-day [[wikipedia:Don_Goat|Don Goat]]. The goat is supremely important to the Pyrans and they have built their culture around them. A buck's head [[affronté]] is the symbol of the Pyrans. **The meat is cooked in a variety of ways, most especially as [[wikipedia:sausage|sausage]]. The men take a form of [[wikipedia:jerky|jerky]] with them during the day while herding the goats. **The milk is drunk plain, but is mainly used to make [[wikipedia:Cheese|cheese]] and [[wikipedia:Butter|butter]]. **The wool is woven to make clothing and the hide is tanned to make leather. **The horns are used to make various utensils. **The gut is used to make the strings for their harps and for their bows and as the [[wikipedia:casing|casing]] for sausage. **The [[wikipedia:wether|wethers]] are used as pack and draft animals and to turn mills. ===The Hydorans.=== *The Hydoran steed is the [[wikipedia:unicorn|unicorn]] (''Alcelaphus monoceros''), <font color=blue>íźes</font>. From one of the wild species, they bred a domestic variety which they use as a steed and a pack animal. ====Taxonomic Table==== *kingdom - [[Wikipedia:animalia|Animalia]] **phylum - [[Wikipedia:chordata|Chordata]] ***subphylum - [[Wikipedia:vertebrata|Vertebrata]] ****class - [[Wikipedia:mammalia|Mammalia]] *****subclass - [[Wikipedia:theria|Theria]] ******infraclass - [[Wikipedia:metatheria|Metatheria]] *******order - [[wikipedia:artiodactyla|Artiodactyla]] ********family - [[wikipedia:bovidae|Bovidae]] *********subfamily - [[wikipedia:alcelaphinae|Alcelaphinae]] **********genus - Alcelaphus ***********species - monoceros *The protein staple of the Hydorans is, quite logically, fish. To help them catch fish they enjoy the companionship of the river [[wikipedia:otter|otter]] (''L. lutra''), <font color=blue>aɱdóres</font>. ===The Humans.=== *The humans domesticated the [[wikipedia:horse|horse]] (''Equus przewalskii''), <font color=blue>éćŭes</font>, as a steed to help them hunt the game animals which they enjoy, and the [[wikipedia:wolf|wolf]] (''Canis lupus''), <font color=blue>ɱélкŭes</font>, later turned dog, <font color=blue>ćŭônes</font>, as a companion. ===The Xylans.=== *As swift as they are, Xylans have no need of a steed, but they have been seen riding atop a [[wikipedia:mammoth|mammoth]], <font color=blue>gŭíȝes</font> (''Mammutus primigenius''). *As forest dwellers, the Xylans have discovered the [[wikipedia:squirrel|squirrel]], specifically the Eurasian red squirrel (''Sciurus vulgaris''), <font color=blue>ɱiɱéres</font>, to be a fun companion. Their diets are very similar! ===The Lithans.=== *The Lithans in their mountain stronghold have need of a steed that is at home on the crags. They decided upon one of the mountain sheep known as an [[wikipedia:argali|argali]] (''Ovis ammon''), <font color=blue>óɱes</font>. With their magnificent curled horns they make a fine war steed, putting the horns to use as both battering ram and shield. The rams are gelded for better handling as steeds. They are also used as pack animals. A small herd of ewes is maintained in each settlement for breeding. *Long before the Great Sundering, the Lithans had domesticated the Corsac [[wikipedia: corsac fox|fox]] (''Vulpes corsac''), <font color=blue>ĸárſes</font>. The bond between a Lithan and his or her fox is fully as strong as that between a human and his or her dog. Each household usually has a pack consisting of a fox, a vixen, and their litter. This species of fox is no longer found as far west as it was in the past. *The Lithans keep extensive breeding records on these animals. ===The Dragon.=== *There, indeed, be [[wikipedia:dragon|dragons]] and mention must be made of them. There are two different genera, each containing one species, but not much is known of their natural history. They seem to stand outside natural history. They are not mentioned in any of the creation stories. In Senjecas they are called <font color=blue>ćèmelárĭus</font>, skylord. They are capable of speech and speak Senjecas fluently. The [[wikipedia:larynx|larynx]] is large and located deeper in the throat than in humans, resulting in a deep booming voice. The lips and tongue are as flexible as those of humans. There is a tale that says it was a dragon who taught the Children of Air to speak. Large scales cover all but the belly and were impervious to any human weapon prior to the invention of firearms. However, the covering on the underside has no scales and, though the skin is leathery tough, it may be penetrated by a sharp weapon. Dragons are usually a phosphorescent green, but [[wikipedia:mutation|mutations]] can occur giving other colors which are, unfortunately, always accompanied by a gene for sterility. The skin of the throat becomes a bright red when in estrus or must. The bones are hollow which decreases their weight. They are [[wikipedia:warm-blooded|homoiothermous]]. *One genus (''Draco atrox''), <font color=blue>mĭúdes</font>, lives to the west of the [[wikipedia:Ural Mountains|Ural Mountains]]. This species corresponds in many ways to the dragon of western myth. They "breathe" fire. They are predatory in nature, stealing from flocks and herds, and seizing unwary travelers. They prefer to live in caves, which has caused some unpleasant encounters for the Lithans. This species has five clawed toes on the front feet, with four forward and one backward, and four clawed toes on the hind feet, three forward and one backward. In this species, the male is flightless, and it is the female that searches for a mate. The eggs are brooded and protected by the male. *The other genus (''Ouranokyrios benevolus''), <font color=blue>ſááres</font>, lives to the east of the Ural Moutains. It is a peaceable creature which does not "breathe" fire. It is piscivorous, snatching fish from the water with a front foot as it skims across the surface of the water. Each foot has four clawed toes, two forward and two backward, and the underside of the toes is scaled, like an [[wikipedia:osprey|osprey]]'s, for ease in grasping fish. They have been known to come to the aid of travelers and others in trouble. In this species, both sexes are flighted and share the task of brooding and protecting. ====Taxonomic Table==== *kingdom - [[Wikipedia:animalia|Animalia]] **phylum - [[Wikipedia:chordata|Chordata]] ***subphylum - [[Wikipedia:vertebrata|Vertebrata]] ****class - [[Wikipedia:sauropsida|Sauropsida]] *****subclass - [[Wikipedia:diapsida|Diapsida]] ******infraclass - [[Wikipedia:archosauromorpha|Archosauromorpha]] *******order - Pyrosauria ********family - Pyrosauridae *********genus - Draco **********species - atrox *********genus - Ouranokyrios **********species - benevolus Senjecan colors 2317 41627 2009-01-07T15:11:49Z Caeruleancentaur 11 *[[Senjecan pronunciation guide]] *In the Senjecan analysis of color, there are six primary hues and six intermediary hues: **<font color=blue>rûûðis</font>, red ***<font color=blue>ſêtis</font>, reddish-orange **<font color=blue>vêêlris</font>, orange ***<font color=blue>кênкis</font>, orangish-yellow **<font color=blue>bâdis</font>, yellow ***<font color=blue>ħêlŭis</font>, yellowish-green **<font color=blue>ðâlis</font>, green ***<font color=blue>ſlîîɱis</font>, greenish-blue **<font color=blue>môðris</font>, blue ***<font color=blue>mêêħis</font>, bluish-purple **<font color=blue>vîſкis</font>, purple. ***<font color=blue>ôrbis</font>, purplish-red. *In addition, each of these twelve hues can be modified for lightness by two degrees of lightness, <font color=blue>xiið-</font> and <font color=blue>pel-</font>, and two degrees of darkness, <font color=blue>mel-</font> and <font color=blue>кaal-</font>. These designations accord with the ISCC-NBS system which gives the degrees of lightness as very light, light, medium, dark, and very dark. Taking red as an example, there are then five shades of red, from lightest to darkest: <font color=blue>pelrûûðis</font>, <font color=blue>xiiðrûûðis</font>, <font color=blue>rûûðis</font>, <font color=blue>melrûûðis</font>, and <font color=blue>кaalrûûðis</font>. Thus there is a total of 60 hues. *There are two words for the hue brown, <font color=blue>vêêris</font>, used to describe animals, including humans; and <font color=blue>vêvris</font>, used in all other instances. Both words can be modified in the same way as the chromatic colors. *There are also the achromatic colors of <font color=blue>âlis</font>, white; <font color=blue>ħêêrɱis</font>, gray; <font color=blue>кøſnis</font>, dull black; and <font color=blue>ſŭôrdis</font>, shining black. White and black are absolute, but gray can be modified in the same way as the chromatic colors. *The following hues have their own proper names instead of being formed by the aforementioned compounding. ** *<font color=blue>кaalmêêħis</font> is replaced by <font color=blue>ϙrâmis</font>. ** *<font color=blue>кaalħêêrɱis</font> is replaced by <font color=blue>ćĭêmis</font>. ** *<font color=blue>кaalrûûðis</font> is replaced by <font color=blue>lîpŭis</font>. ** *<font color=blue>кaalvêvris</font> is replaced by <font color=blue>ðûſкis</font>. *There are several specialized colors: **<font color=blue>bâgŭis</font>, gray [''of hair''] **<font color=blue>ćâſis</font>, roan **<font color=blue>ĸŭêrmis</font>, crimson *Names of colors may also be made by suffixing <font color=blue>-ćîɱis</font> (-colored) to an object of that color: **<font color=blue>ćémelćîɱis</font>, sky blue, cerulean **<font color=blue>élaȝćîɱis</font>, olive-colored Senjecan dice game 2318 41652 2009-01-07T19:49:09Z Caeruleancentaur 11 ===Equipment=== *The game of <font color=blue>ſŭèſpaſtôes</font> is played on a field in the shape of a hexagon, from each side of which extends an arm consisting of three columns (<font color=blue>ħâſtos</font>, arm) of hexagons. The <font color=blue>ħaſtôes</font> are colored red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The large central hexagon is called the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font> (nest). The playing field can be made of any material. Some are works of art in wood inlay or in ceramic. Usually, though, a heavy linen fabric is used on which the gaming pattern is embroidered or painted. In this way, the dice and the pieces can be rolled up inside and the whole tied for ease in traveling. *Eighteen markers are used, three each of yellow biconcaves, red equilateral triangles, blue squares, orange regular pentagons, green regular hexagons and violet regular heptagons. The element of chance is provided by three dice that, when thrown, indicate the number of spaces to be moved. One die has pips one through six. The second die has pips one, three and five, with like pips on opposite faces. The third die has pips two, four and six, with like pips on opposite faces. ===Preparation and Objective=== *The game may be played by two, three, or six players (<font color=blue>lêdus</font>). When two play, one plays green, blue and violet, while the other plays red, orange and yellow. When three play, one plays green and blue, another plays violet and red, while the third plays orange and yellow. To begin, the markers are placed in the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font>. Each <font color=blue>lêdus</font> throws the dice and the one who throws the highest plays first with the play going widdershins. *Each <font color=blue>lêdus</font>'s objective is to move all three of his markers down the middle of the <font color=blue>ħâſtos</font> of the same color, around the board widdershins, then back up the same <font color=blue>ħâstos</font> to the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font>. The game is won when a <font color=blue>lêdus</font> succeeds in returning all his markers to the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font>. ===Play=== *Moves are decided by throws of the dice. The <font color=blue>lêdus</font> moves a piece (or pieces) the number indicated. A player may move a marker out of the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font> only upon rolling a combination containing a six. Throwing a run, that is, 1-2-3 or 3-4-5 in any order, entitles the <font color=blue>lêdus</font> to a free throw. But if a run is thrown on the free throw, the <font color=blue>lêdus</font> must move his marker(s) back to their original position and forfeits the throw. Each throw may be split into its constituent parts and shared across the markers. A throw cannot be passed in whole or in part unless the <font color=blue>lêdus</font> cannot move his markers. The <font color=blue>nîzdos</font> must be entered on an exact throw of one or more of the dice. *Two or three markers of the same color may occupy the same hexagon. When a marker of one color lands on a hexagon occupied by a marker of another color (<font color=blue>pîćus</font>, enemy), the <font color=blue>pîćus</font> is captured and returns to the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font> from which it must start again. A <font color=blue>lêdus</font> who captures a <font color=blue>pîćus</font> is allowed another throw of the dice, but if it is a run, the <font color=blue>pîćus</font> returns to the hexagon from which it was removed and the <font color=blue>lêdus</font> forfeits his throw. When two markers of the same color occupy a hexagon, a <font color=blue>pîćus</font> may not land on that hexagon, but he may pass through. However, a <font color=blue>lêdus</font>'s double marker may return the <font color=blue>pîćus</font>'s double marker to the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font>. When three markers of the same color (<font color=blue>argâźos</font>, blockade) occupy a hexagon, a <font color=blue>pîćus</font> may not may pass through until the <font color=blue>argâźos</font> is broken up. However, a <font color=blue>lêdus</font>'s <font color=blue>argâźos</font> may return the <font color=blue>pîćus</font>'s <font color=blue>argâźos</font> to the <font color=blue>nîzdos</font>. As it is impossible for three of a kind to be thrown, an <font color=blue>argâźos</font> will only last for one play around the field.

Unlike Linnaen taxonomy, scientific names are ''trinomial'' in full, and the species name comes first. The format of a full name is species genus ''ima'' ("from") family (family may informally be omitted if there is no chance of confusion). Most names are taken from the [[Classical Blafu]] language. Names may consist of two or more words, but must be written as a single compound for the lowest three levels. There are eleven primary, obligatory, levels, as well as a number of optional levels. The optional levels are indented. Blafu names are given, along with their literal translations and, for the main levels, rough approximations in Linnaean taxonomy. I use those translations on this wiki. * Thabè ("World", No equivalent) * Kala Yarè ("Continent", Domain) * Yarè ("Land", Kingdom) ** ("Region", Subkingdom/Superphylum) * Ng'uta ("Province", Phylum) ** ("District", Subphylum) ** ("Subdistrict", Infraphylum) ** ("City", Microphylum) ** ("Higher Grade", Superclass) * Fasà ("Grade" Class) ** ("Lesser Grade", Subclass) ** ("Distinction", Infraclass) ** ("Subdistinction", Parvclass) ** ("Minor Distinction", Superdivision) ** ("Grand Division", Division) ** ("Higher Division", Superlegion) * Phénde ("Division", Legion) ** ("Lesser Division", Sublegion) ** ("Subdivision", Infralegion) ** ("Minor Division", Cohort) ** ("Confederation", Subcohort) ** ("Union", Megaorder) ** ("Higher Clan", Superorder) * Myatù ("Clan", Order) ** ("Lesser Clan", Parvorder) ** ("Subclan", Hypoorder) ** ("Higher Branch", Minorder) * Phéta ("Branch", Sub-order) ** ("Lesser Branch", Infraorder) ** ("Subbranch", Parvorder) ** ("Minor Branch", Megafamily) ** ("Family", Grand Family) ** ("Section", Hyperfamily) ** ("Subsection", Superfamily) * Kala Nwage ("Higher Type", Family) ** ("Intermediate Type", Subfamily/Tribe) * Nwage ("Type", Genus) * T'raphe ("Kind", Species) ** ("Lesser Kind", Subspecies) In addition, as on Earth, unranked cladistic names are common, and have been growing in popularity. A few special species-names *''Minì'' literally "only", indicates a species which is the only known member of its genus **Note: ''minì'' has fallen out of use for new species; a number of species that have the ''minì'' designation are not, in fact, the only species in their genus, as later species were discovered after the naming *''Trùku'' literally "first", indicates the most common or first known member of a genus Some sample names *Human: ''Minì Ñaphe ima Cha-Ñaphe'' (Only human from [those] like humans) == History == There was no single inventor of the standard taxonomy. Eastern Odirá had long used Classical Blafu for their scientific terminology, and a large number of animals had developed standardized names, usually consisting of two parts, an adjective and a type, the origin of the species-genus. In Blafu, adjectives can precede or follow their noun, and thus, originally, either order could be used. Larger groups were sometimes used as well, such as the "higher types" and "grades". The taxonomy was regularized by the International Conference on Biological Naming, which set out a procedure to agree upon a single name for every known plant and animal, and a standardized naming for higher groups. They adopted the bi-/trinomial system, and agreed upon the species-first order (in accordance with the general pattern in Blafu to place small categories first). The original formalized system contained 6 levels - land, grade, clan, higher type, type, kind. Initially, the "grade" level was particularly broad, and in some cases included entire phyla or even kingdoms. Its name is a vestige of a concept similar to Earth's [[Wikipedia:Great chain of being|Great chain of being]]. The "province" level was the first addition, as the number of "grades" increased to inconvenient levels, and especially as many of the "grades" came to be recognized as being excessively broad. Some of the grades were grouped into provinces, while in other cases, grades were recognized as being provinces, and divided into new grades. Divisions and branches were added later. As the [[Xenogenesis theory]] grew in popularity, it became recognized that to group the "new" animals and the "old" animals, likewise the "new" and "old" plants, into single lands was unrealistic, and that it was more sensible to place the "new" plants and animals into a single group together and the "old" plants and animals into another group. Some argued for replacing the old lands all together and replacing them with that new-old distinction, while others argued that a new level should be added above the land. The second view won out, and the World level was added. The "continent" level is the newest addition. == See Also == *[[Galhafan Taxonomic Names]] *[[Geological History of Galhaf]] [[Category:Galhaf]] [[Category:Biology of the Chihazh System]] User talk:Caeruleancentaur 2324 44484 2009-03-26T20:08:34Z Muke 1 Hi!<br>Please remember to give your pages specific names. E.g. [[Senjecan lexicon roots a-ð]] rather than just [[Lexicon roots a-ð]]; [[Senjecan colors]] rather than [[Colors]], etc. That first example may not be too much of a problem, but a title like [[Colors]] should be expected to have a more generic view.

They may take the same segunakar as nouns. There is an alternative third person pronoun, de, which is used to avoid repeating &quot;yi&quot; for more than one referent. ===Conjunctions=== Conjunctions in Khangaþyagon have a very strong tendency to be palindromic, eg ;beb:and ;gog:or ;shosh:but {{NavBar|Back_dest=Khangaþyagon Adjectives|Back_name=Adjectives|Up_dest=Khangaþyagon Morphology|Up_name=Morphology|Next_dest=Khangaþyagon Derivational Morphology|Next_name=Derivational Morphology}} Khangaþyagon Derivational Morphology 2327 9367 2006-05-30T09:57:53Z PeteBleackley 179 ===Compounding=== Compounding is head last, that is the primary root is the last occurring in the compound, as is typical of Germanic languages, eg ;zaldep:treasure ;ban:stone ;zaldepban:gemstone ===Participles=== Participles can serve as nouns or adjectives. When the sense of the participle is that of &quot;person associated with the action&quot;, the participle compounds with ;það:deed to form the sense of &quot;action&quot;. When the sense is &quot;action&quot;, it compounds with ;hol:person or another suitable noun, to form the sense &quot;person associated with the action&quot;. ===Abstract nouns=== Abstract nouns may be formed from adjectives by means of the segunak ;nesh:the property of being X ===Adjectives=== Adjectives may be formed from nouns by the following segunakar ;ek:like, similar to.

Currently, Tzenejri is the only remaining language of this group (Chendash was a fairly common language spojen as recently as 150 years ago in the west of Tzenej, but it was displaced and died out). Tzenej has in the past spent many years under the rule of foreign powers, and the language reflects this. For example, the "g" sound was not in the language until the country was conquered by the Anik Empire (as such, most common words do contain a "g" sound). Tzenejri has also borrowed certain words from Qazal, the language of neighbouring Qazan. ==Phonology== ===Alphabet=== The Tzenejri alphabet, translated to Latin characters, is: a &acirc; ch d e f g h i j k l m n o &ocirc; p r s sh t tz u &ucirc; v w y z ' ===Consonants=== {| border="1" !

All other consonants are pronounced the same as in English. ===Vowels=== {| border="1" ! Letter !!

It is close to an isolating langauge though, since all of the affixes are words in their own right. There is no case system, no grammatical genders and no definite or indefinite articles. To negate a word, the prefix 'di-' is used (e.g. 'ditzili', meaning 'no people'), while indefiniteness of a word is expressed by the prefix 'zi-' (e.g. 'zitzili, meaning 'some people'). As with English, syllable stress in Tzenejri words are unpredicatble, although it rarely matters much. ===Verbs=== All verbs are derived a noun by adding the suffix '-ti' (meaning "to do"). For example, the Tzenejri word for movement is 'nef', and it is altered to the verb 'nefti', meaning 'to move'. ===Tenses=== Tzenejri has four tenses: present, past, future and (present) continuous. The latter three are added as suffixes to a verb as follows: *Past tense: '-che' *Future tense: '-lan' *Continuous tense: '-le' Perfect tenses are not used. ===Personal pronouns=== Strictly speaking, there are no personal pronouns in Tzenejri. The terms listed below translate to phrases such as "this person", "that group", etc. *First-person singular: retzi *Second-person singular: yatzi *Third-person singular: s&ocirc;tzi *First-person plural: rem&ucirc;p *Second-person plural: yam&ucirc;p *Third-person plural: s&ocirc;m&ucirc;p ===Questions=== The basic word order is Verb Subject Object, however this changes to Verb Object Subject in a question. Questions take the form of a statement with an emphasis on the word being questioned (two analogous examples in English would be "you said ''what''?" or "they went ''shopping''?"). In writing, this can be expressed by adding the symbol ¬ after the questioned word (it is unpronounced). ===Grammatical numbers=== There are three grammatical numbers in Tzenejri: singular, specific plural (for a specific number of things) and unspecific plural (for an unspecific number of things). They are indicating as suffixes to a noun as follows: *Specific plural: '-vi' *Unspecific plural: '-li' Note: even if the number of things is not mentioned, a specific plural is still used if the number is known by the speaker, e.g. "kat&ocirc;'&acirc;zvi" ("the cat's legs")- I know a cat has 4 legs, so I would use the '-vi' suffix. ==Sample text== ''Article 1 of the universal declaration of human rights:'' enti tech tzili unajkrez v&acirc; z&ocirc;nti s&ocirc;tzi k&ucirc;zfe'ezra v&acirc; k&ucirc;zunshli. chektile s&ocirc;tzi nuwul achi v&acirc; k&ucirc; v&acirc; gaga ti s&ocirc;tzi ch&ocirc; techko'elli nuwul h&ucirc;ztzili ked.

Khangaþyagon Word Order 2348 9746 2006-06-01T10:54:26Z PeteBleackley 179 ==Basic word order== ===Basic sentence structure=== Word order in sentences is VSO. This does not vary. ===Infinitive clauses=== Infinitives have no subject, so word order in infinitive clauses is VO. ===Adjectives=== Adjectives follow the noun. This applies to noun phrases qualifying another noun (such as genitives) although in the case of noun phrases there is no agreement with the head noun, i.e. no suffixaufname. ===Adverbs=== Placement of adverbs and adverbial noun phrases is fairly free, but results in a change of emphasis. An adverb may occur clause initially, after the verb, or clause finally. If the adverb is placed at the beginning of the clause, the adverb itself is emphasised. If it is placed immediately after the verb, its applicability to the verb is emphasised. If it is placed clause finally, its apllicability to the entire clause is emphasised. {{NavBar|Back_dest=Khangaþyagon Morphology|Back_name=Morphology|Up_dest=Khangaþyagon Syntax|Up_name=Syntax|Next_dest=Khangaþyagon Subordinate Clauses|Next_name=Subordinate Clauses and Reported Speech}} --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 03:54, 1 June 2006 (PDT) Va'díl 2349 10603 2006-06-27T00:40:33Z Wm.annis 185 Has fatal flaws.

At the beginning of each era, s/he created one of the loquent beings: **The 1st era was that of the Children of Air. **The 2nd era was that of the Children of Fire. **The 3rd era was that of the Children of Water. **The 4th era was that of the Children of Earth. **The 5th era was that of the Children of Wood. **The 6th era was that of the Children of Stone. **The 6th eon was the eon of harmony among all the loquent beings. Then came the Great Sundering, during which many fell out of harmony. **The 7th eon, begun after allegiances were re-aligned, is the one in which we live today. ==The Day <font color=blue>áámras</font>== All time and calendar references are based on a duodecimal system. The day is divided into 24 sections known as <font color=blue>tenáes</font>. The day begins at sunrise (<font color=blue>ſuulhmérðos</font>). In modern times this is considered to be 6:00 a.m. Each of the hours is named for an animal, as follows: *1st hour (6:00 a.m.) hoopoe <font color=blue>òpofténas</font> *2nd hour - bear <font color=blue>ø̀þćëténas</font> *3rd hour - aurochs <font color=blue>mehȝȝùnüténas</font> *4th hour - badger <font color=blue>vàrĸëténas</font> *5th hour - swan <font color=blue>hȝòlvïténas</font> *6th hour – honey bee <font color=blue>veȝténas</font> *7th hour (noon) eagle <font color=blue>mùȝrëténas</font> *8th hour - lion <font color=blue>ſìnϙëténas</font> *9th hour - horse <font color=blue>èćüténas</font> *10th hour – wild cat <font color=blue>malténas</font> *11th hour - goose <font color=blue>hȝànſëténas</font> *12th hour - butterfly <font color=blue>fàfelténas</font> *13th hour (6:00 p.m.) woodpecker <font color=blue>piixténas</font> *14th hour - wolf <font color=blue>hmèlĸüténas</font> *15th hour – red deer <font color=blue>èlnevténas</font> *16th hour - fox <font color=blue>puxténas</font> *17th hour - heron <font color=blue>àrooðténas</font> *18th hour - nightingale <font color=blue>àhmeeðténas</font> *19th hour (midnight) owl <font color=blue>ſimténas</font> *20th hour - leopard <font color=blue>ȝàrgëténas</font> *21st hour - moose <font color=blue>òlćëténas</font> *22nd hour - weasel <font color=blue>ĸexténas</font> *23rd hour - mallard <font color=blue>àneþténas</font> *24th hour - kingfisher <font color=blue>ćèèrolténas</font> ==The Calendar <font color=blue>ààmrënemſémos</font>== ===The Sun Cycle <font color=blue>ſuulĸúlĸas</font>=== The solar year begins in the middle of winter, ''i.e.'', the winter solstice. Although there are six seasons, the movement of the sun to the north and the south every year is noticeable. Therefore, eight celebrations are held in conjunction with the solar year. The primary celebrations are: *the winter solstice (<font color=blue>hȝìmſuulpélćas</font>) (0°/270°) (12/22), *the vernal equinox (<font color=blue>hmèſnëhmórźas</font>) (90°/0°) (3/20), *the summer solstice (<font color=blue>lèèþſuulpélćas</font>) (180°/90°) (6/20), and *the autumnal equinox (<font color=blue>òſnëhmórźas</font>) (270°/180°) (9/22). The secondary celebrations are the cross-quarter days of *<font color=blue>hmeſnéϙras</font> (45°/315°) (2/2), *<font color=blue>leetêϙras</font> (135°/45°) (5/5), *<font color=blue>oſnéϙras</font> (225°/135°) (8/6) and *<font color=blue>hȝiméϙras</font> (315°/225°) (11/6). These cross-quarter days are not the same as the later Celtic ones: *Imbolc (45°/315°) (2/1), *Beltane (135°/45°) (5/1), *Lughnasadh (225°/135°) (8/1) and *Samhain (315°/225°) (10/31). ===The Seasons <font color=blue>ȝeeráes</font>=== There are six seasons. Their names with a general description follow. The names in red are those used when only four seasons are recognized. *<font color=blue>hȝìmas</font> (<font color=red>winter</font>) – cold to freezing; heavy snow, sometimes sleet or rain; heavy cloud cover most of the time. "increasing snow" *<font color=blue>hméſnas</font> (<font color=red>spring</font>) – rising temperature with melting of ice and snow; frequent and heavy rain with heavy cloud cover; plants begin to flower, trees to leaf. "diminishing snow" *<font color=blue>ſémas</font> – temperature continues to rise; ground begins to dry out; plants are in full bloom and leaf; increased sun and wind; warm days and cool nights. "plant growth" *<font color=blue>léétas</font> (<font color=red>summer</font>) – hot and dry; rains infrequently with little cloud cover; grass turns brown. "great heat" *<font color=blue>óſnas</font> (<font color=red>autumn</font>) – cooler; clouds in morning and evening often with light rain; leaves begin to change color; crops ready to harvest. "rains return" *<font color=blue>ſéngŭas</font> – temperature continues to fall; leaves begin to fall; increasing rainfall; crisp nights with frost in the morning. "morning frost" ===The Months <font color=blue>meenáes</font>=== There are twelve months, two in each season. The first month of each season has 31 days, the second 30 days. The first month of the last season has 31 days only in a leap year. *<font color=blue>hȝímas</font> **<font color=blue>ĸírmas</font> (Nov 21–Dec 21) < <font color=blue>ĸírmos</font>, thin covering of snow. **<font color=blue>alúngas</font> (Dec 22–Jan 21) < <font color=blue>alúngos</font>, snow bank. *<font color=blue>hméſnas</font> **<font color=blue>lúúnas</font> (Jan 22–Feb 20) < <font color=blue>lúúnos</font>, wet snow. **<font color=blue>ózgümas</font> (Feb 21–Mar 23) < <font color=blue>ózgŭos</font>, bud; suffix <font color=blue>-m</font>, having. *<font color=blue>ſémas</font> **<font color=blue>ánþëmas</font> (Mar 24–Apr 22) < <font color=blue>ánþos</font>, flower. **<font color=blue>vrúúqmas</font> (Apr 23–May 22) < <font color=blue>vrúúgos</font>, fruit. *<font color=blue>léétas</font> **<font color=blue>pólas</font> (May 23–Jun 21) < <font color=blue>pólis</font>, warm. **<font color=blue>éndas</font> (Jun 22–Jul 22) < <font color=blue>éndos</font>, heat of the sun. *<font color=blue>óſnas</font> **<font color=blue>léſas</font> (Jul 23–Aug 21) < <font color=blue>léſa</font>, to glean grain. **<font color=blue>ðéénas</font> (Aug 22–Sep 21) < <font color=blue>ðééna</font>, to harvest fruit. *<font color=blue>ſéngŭas</font> **<font color=blue>ðrónas</font> (Sep 22–Oct 21) < <font color=blue>ðrónis</font>, many colored. **<font color=blue>gúſas</font> (Oct 22–Nov 20) < <font color=blue>gúſa</font>, to fall [''of leaves'']. ====Dating==== *The days of the months are numbered using the cardinal number with the name of the month in the stative case. Thus, July 25th above would be <font color=blue>leſáſĭo tír</font>. The first day of the year, December 22, would be <font color=blue>alùngaſĭ' ói</font>. Note the change in pitch on <font color=blue>alùngaſĭ'</font> caused by the elision with <font color=blue>ói</font>. *The years are numbered according to their order in the era or eon. The current era is called the present era and dates from the winter solstice of 10,598 B.C. Thus the present year (2010) is N.M. 12,608. N.M. stands for <font color=blue>núúna mèhȝdiitáſĭo</font>, 'of the present era.' ===The Lunar Cycle <font color=blue>meenĸúlĸas</font>=== A lunar cycle is not reckoned, ''i.e.'', time is not reckoned from new moon to new moon. However, the phases of the moon are used to reckon short time spans. Each of the phases of the moon begins a new "week," known as a <font color=blue>meenmérvas</font> (moon phase) or <font color=blue>mérvas</font> for short. Thus, the <font color=blue>mérvas</font> can vary in length from six to nine days. The "week" begins and celebrations are held on the day after each phase is at its fullest. The first six days of each phase are named after the avatar reverenced by each of the six loquent beings in the order of their creation: *<font color=blue>meenáámras</font> (Moon day) *<font color=blue>ààteráámras</font> (Aaterus' day) *<font color=blue>neeráámras</font> (Neerus' day) *<font color=blue>ſeegĭáámras</font> (Seegyus’ day) *<font color=blue>perĸŭáámras</font> (Percwus' day) and *<font color=blue>puuſáámras</font> (Puusus' day). The names of these six days are used for the seven days of the contemporary week, being preceded by <font color=blue>ſuuláámras</font>, Sun's day, a day dedicated to the Self-existent as s/he is in him/herself, not as an avatar. Additional days in the phase bear the names *<font color=blue>hmooϙòiáámras</font>, one-extra day *<font color=blue>hmooϙdŭáámras</font> , two-extra day and *<font color=blue>hmòòϙtiráámras</font> three-extra day. ===The Zodiac=== The zodiac is the annual cycle of the sun along the ecliptic that is divided into twelve sections or domains (réźos</font>). There are no tales to explain the names, merely supposed likenesses to star arrangements. By the Senjecan reckoning, the starting point of the ecliptic is at the winter solstice which is marked 0°, although the vernal equinox is at 0° by contemporary reckoning. *mark - <font

Kramm). == Culture == The speakers of Kratal-Rul, the Hoka, are living majorly on Hokkaido (Japan's northern-most island), but a good amount of them also live on Honshû (the Japanese main island), and there mostly in the Kantô region. A small amount is still living on the Russian island Sakhalin north of Hokkaido. <br> Their name stems back from the late 16th century, when they first made contact with westerners (most likely Portuguese) who named them "Hocaidoes". They eventually adapted the name for themselves, but shortened it to "Hoka". == Origin == When analyzing their language, and also judging from their original Phoenician-derived script, it seems most likely that the Hoka were originally tribes coming from today's Germany and Scandinavia, as you can still find Germanic-sounding words in their vocabulary, although more recent researches also revealed slight hellenistic influences. From their original habitat, they moved more and more eastwards, crossing all of Russia on the way (which had quite an impact on their language), always looking for a good place to stay. They eventually set over to Sakhalin, and from there to Hokkaido, where they finally started settling down, while some moved on to Honshû and settled mostly in the Kantô region. Their language became strongly influenced by Japanese over time. == Modernisation == Starting with the Meiji Restauration of 1868, the Modernisation also reached the Hoka and eventually gave rise to Modern Charos S'fik.<br> The new script of Modern Charos S'fik, based upon the old handwriting script, was influenced by the intensive trade and relations with Korea, which also had an strong impact on their language. Also, many started moving over to Korea.<br> After the end of WW II, Modern Charos S'fik was reformed again, and the result was named '''Kratal-Rul''' which means ''Language of Progress'' (''kratal''=progress is composed of ''krati''=''to go/advance'' and ''taran''=forward, ''rul''=particle for the language of a country or a group). == Grammar == Sentences have '''SOV''' order.<br> All words consist of '''syllables''' which are composed like this:<br> * initial consonant (which can be the null-consonant) * vowel (which can be the null-vowel after the word-initial consonants '''kh''', '''f''', '''s''') * final consonant (doesn't always occur, omitted before '''-r-''') Words with more than two syllables cannot end with a vowel. == Script == [[image:Modern-Tifet-script.png|left|thumb|150px|Modern Tifet Script]] The script used for Kratal-Rul evolved from the original Tifet handwriting script.<br> In its creation, the Korean Hangul alphabet was taken as a model for the vowels and the syllable stacking. <br style="clear:both;" /> == Phonology == The Phonology was slightly reformed from Modern Charos S'fik. ===Alphabet=== This table presents the alphabet in its proper order.<br> It is named '''khakra''', after its first two consonant letters. Initial = at the beginning of a word<br> Medial = at the beginning of a syllable inside of a word<br> Final = at the end of a word or a syllable {|border=1 !

If consonants are followed by any of the '''ja''' vowels (ja, jä, je...), some change their pronunciation: * kh+ja -> cja [ʝa] if initial, kha [ça] otherwise * kr+ja -> kkha [kxa] * k+ja -> kja [kça] * n+ja -> nja [ɲa] * t+ja -> tja [tça] * d+ja -> dja [dʝa] . * f+ja -> fj [fja] * p+ja -> pj [pja] * s+ja -> sj [sja] The consonants m, j, r, l, sh, h cannot be followed by a '''ja''' vowel. == Babel text == [[image:kratal-rul-babel-1280.png|left|thumb|150px|Kratal-Rul Babel text]] '''Note:''' * The apostrophe (') is used in order to indicate syllable boundaries. After a single consonant it means that the consonant has to be pronounced long (consonant-only syllable).

It takes up much of the eastern half of the continent of Za'al. ==History== Khehes has existed since ancient times, and much of its early history is a mystery. According to legend, it was founded when a warrior named Khehes single-handedly defeated the defences of an entire town. When other nearby city-states heard of this, they allied themselves with him thinking that he must be a god, and the country grew steadily from there. It is doubtful that he actually conquered the town single-handedly, as people from Khehes are known to often exaggerate. ==Culture== Khehes has a strong warrior tradition. Hwatzili make up about a quarter of the population, and though they are naturally stronger than Atzili, but they have a lot of respect for Atzili, who are faster and have a sense of echolocation that is very useful in combat- the national hero Khehes was an Atzili.

To form a question, the prefix 'dli-' is added to the word being questioned. For example, think of the statement "Ben went out" (ben hlekhol n̄ifba). The questional form depends in what is being questioned, which occurs in English by emphasizing that word- for example, "''Ben'' went out?" (dliben hlekhol n̄ifba) questions whether Ben went out, while "Ben went ''out''?" (ben hlekhol dlin̄ifba) questions whether he went out. It is possible to question more than one word per sentence. ===Declension=== Khehesen has 5 cases, 4 marked by suffixes: * Nominative: no suffix (indicates a subject) * Accusative: '-fa' (indicates an object) * Genitive: '-ga' (indicates the possessor of something) * Locative: '-ba' (indicates a location) * Temporal: '-za' (indicates a time) There are only 3 tenses, for present, past and future. They are indicated by prefixing the verb as follows: * Present: no prefix * Past: 'hle-' ('le-' if a word begins with hl) * Future: 'pfe-' ('pe-' if a words begins with pf) In addition, a speaker can indicate that they like something by suffixing '-ār', or dislike something by suffixing '-ān'. ===Plurals=== The plural of a word is expressed by reduplication, that is repeating the last syllable of that word, with any cases following after the repeated syllable. There are a few words where the repeated syllable is pronounced slightly differently to the stem word, usually for loanwords. A double reduplication implies there are "many" of the said things. For example: * "lanog" = island * "lanognog" = islands * "lanognognog" = many islands ===Personal pronouns=== Personal pronouns are treated like any other noun, and follow the same declension rules as necessary. There are no gender specfic pronouns. * First person singular: zhe * First person plural: zhezhe * Second person singular: she * Second person plural: sheshe * Third person singular: al * Third person plural: alal ===Definiteness=== Khehesen distinguishes 3 articles, the definite, indefinite, and partitive (something part of a greater whole, similar to the words "some" or "part of"). As in most Western European languages, they take the form of separate words. * Definite: 'izh' * Indefinite: 'na' * Partitive: 'opf' Senjecan Graded Sentences 2517 20992 2007-04-04T14:07:01Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Removing all content from page User:Cacafire 2518 10557 2006-06-21T19:44:37Z Cacafire 188 I am creating a page.

You are currently looking at the homepage of my conlang: Pradavishna. I will be working on this language for quite a while, and I felt that it would be a good idea to get it out there for anyone who wishes to learn it. It is really a fascinating language, and I hope you like it. ^w^ ==Pradavishna== Pradavishna is notable mostly for the longer length of it's words. For example, most nouns in the language contain four syllables. In fact, each part of speech can be characterized by a different syllable count: *Pronouns can be defined as having a maximum of two syllables. For example, the word ''puta'' is the pronoun for ''I''. Pronouns can end and begin in both a vowel and/or a consonant. Pradavishna is very flexible like that. :D *As has been said, nouns have four syllables. Generally, nothing gets appended to pradavishna nouns. Instead, if anything is to modify a noun, it get's placed either before or after the noun, depending on which the speaker wishes to modify. *Verbs are characterized by three syllables. Example: Dravidu. also, it can be ended and begun with any character. look here for my dictionary: [[Pradavishna Dictionary]] ====Alphabet==== The alphabet of pradavishna is similar to that of english, but here is it is in whole: Vowels: A I U Consonants: B D G H J K L N P Q' SH R(spanish) TR VR V ll Z Well, that's about it. ====pronunciation==== Same as in sanskrit/spanish Nrastaist Supreme Matriarch 2521 24459 2007-08-13T02:33:57Z Christina 18 The '''Supreme Matriarch''' was the title of the head of the [[Nrastaism|Nastraist Church]]. She was advised, and to a certain extent restricted, by the [[Council of Twelve]], from which she was appointed by the [[Kasshi Empress|Empress]]. The first Supreme Matriarch is considered to have been [[Chinrasta]] herself. In the early days, the Supreme Matriarch was elected from among the Council by the Council. This system changed after Supreme Matriarch [[Chalanya]] became Empress, who established the current system.

Arithide is spoken as a first language by over 580 million people in [[Arithia]] and another 170 million across 14 other states in [[Marcasia]] where the language has official status, and of these, more than 600 million are native, ethnic [[Areth]] speakers. A further estimated 350 million speak it as a second or third language, mainly centred in and around [[Dethria]] and southern [[Marcasia]] where the sociocultural influence of the [[Lazeian Empire]] is still felt, bringing the total number of speakers of Arithide to approximately 1.1 billion people today across the world. The standard and official language of [[Arithia]] is '''Standard Modern Arithide''', essentially the speech of modern [[Lazea]], the capital, but which incorporates and preserves various regional elements, as well as reviving certain [[classicism]]s. The Arithide spoken outside [[Arithia]] is generally the standard tongue, except in the southern [[Marcasia]]n states, where holdover local dialects from the imperial era are strongly rooted. In [[Arithia]] itself, however, there exists a significant diglossia, particularly in the historic cities of northeastern [[Cadaeria]], between the written language, which is universally the standard form, and the spoken one, which is usually the local dialect. Further west and south, however, especially in secondary, regional cities, another phenomenon is prominent: the erosion of the local dialect in favour of the more prestigious standard. As the standard tongue came into being ''de facto'', by virtue of being the langauge of the capital of the [[Arithia]]n republic, and not through the efforts of any standardisation body, there is no official regulatory body charged with standardising usage, vocabulary, grammar and orthography. Similarly to [[Modern English|English]], however, the language regulates itself through the standardising effects of the print and broadcast media, particularly through the authority of four major dictionaries, the ''[[Renquau Dictionary of the Arithide Language|Renquau]]'', ''[[Anvers Comprehensive Dictionary|Anvers]]'', ''[[Caema Compendium|Caema]]'' and ''[[Complete Dictionary of Modern Arithide|Līs]]''. The first three are compiled and published by eponymous universities, while the last is published by the [[Lazea]]n broadsheet ''[[Līs Ōrēs]]'' (hence the common appellation). ==Phonological system== The phonology of Modern Arithide is notable for its large numbers of both consonants and vowels, although its phonemic repertoire is smaller due to the high degree of allophony. ===Consonants=== The table below represents the sounds present in the standard Modern Arithide, secondarily distinguishing between the 22 phonemic consonants, which are in black, and the 9 non-phonemic (purely allophonic) consonants, which are greyed out. The distinction between the aspirated and unaspirated voiceless plosives (i.e. ''pʰ, tʰ, kʰ'' vs. ''p, t, k''), although not phonemically distinguished&mdash;the former set appears before front vowels, and the latter before others&mdash;is notable for its recreation of the [[Ancient Arithide]] aspirate-unaspirate distinction. <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="margin-left: 50px;

besides ignoring sound-changes that have occurred since the [[Renaissance (Ilethes)|Renaissance]], this also leads occasionally to pronunciations strange to the Earthling ear.

The new letters are used to indicate the /ʧ/ and /ʃ/ sounds where not historically derived, such as in loanwords; or where the conditioning vowel has been lost, especially at the ends of words. Additionally, [ʃ] deriving from a word- or syllable-finally devoiced /ʒ/ is written with &lt;sh&gt; instead of &lt;gi&gt;. {{footnote|2}} The sound /ʤ/ only occurs in syllable-initial position due to historical reasons: it arose from the diphthongal sequence ''[di], [dj] + vowel''. When &lt;di&gt; occurs without a subsequent vowel the value of the digraph is the consonant+vowel combination [di]. {{footnote|3}} The post-vocalic [g]-lenition that began in the [[Renaissance (Ilethes)|Renaissance]] with [g] &gt; [ɣ] proceeded further in the modern era to give [j] after [a], [e], [i] (as well as modifying the vowel qualities) and [w] after [o]. Etymological orthographic rules dictate the preservation of &lt;g&gt; in such cases. {{footnote|4}} From the [gn] and [ng] sequences developed the /ŋ/ phoneme, in the former case by nasalising the [g], and in the latter by velarising the [n] and losing the [g]. Whereas historical [ng] has since received its own letter and is written with it unless the [g] was preserved by a succeeding vowel (in which case the orthographical sequence &lt;ng&gt; is retained), historical [gn] has been preserved in spelling due to the strong retentiveness of the latter [n] element, even where the sequence has coalesced to a simple [ŋ]. {{footnote|5}} In combination with preceding vowels, [r] has been lost, instead giving rise to a host of (mostly) rounded long vowels; the new sounds have retained the traditional orthography using &lt;r&gt;. Analogically, a similar scenario has occurred with [l], albeit without loss of the [l] sound, resulting merely in altered vowel qualities. {{footnote|6}} The devocalisation of pre-vocalic [i] to [j] and [u] to [w] that occurred during the [[Mediaeval Age (Ilethes)|mediaeval period]] necessitated two new letters due to syllabification ambiguity and stress shifts. ====Vowels==== Monographs represent monophthongs; each letter may be read in up to four different ways depending on its surrounding letters and its level of stress. In the table below, the variants are listed in order of occurrence, then precedence. The last value of each always represents the unstressed realisation of the vowel concerned. {|style="margin-left: 50px; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 !

The adjective "Sethic" originates from the Primitive Sethic root SETH, which means 'word, speech' or 'to speak'. It has evolved into the common Sethic ethnonym "Seth" (meaning 'the one who speaks'), and thus gave name to most Sethic peoples as well as their native languages. In contrast to their own name, most Sethic peoples usually call some of their neighbouring peoples by the name ''gonair'' or similar, which translates as the mute ones, i.e. 'the ones who cannot speak in an understandable language'. == Genealogy == All Sethic languages have descended from the '''Primitive Sethic''' language. Linguists believe it was a spoken language with several minor regional dialects. Following the invention of the early Sethic runes, the first Sethic written language evolved, known as '''Old Book Sethic''', the predecessor of a later common written standard called the '''Book Sethic''' language. After the migration of Sethic tribes from the mountains into the lower plains, the Sethic languages have been divided along the linguistic lines into three main branches: Nadarian, Mercian, and Arbean of Moria. [[Nadarian]] is a spoken language which forms a rather heterogeneous dialect continuum with about a dozen distinct dialects and many regional subdialects. Over time some of its dialects have influenced the written Old Book Sethic language, and thus formed the regional Common Sethic standard used in Nadaria, which evolved from the earlier Middle Sethic language, the Nadarian recension of Old Book Sethic. Common Sethic has since become language of diplomacy and trade between the various Sethic nations. [[Mercian|Mercian branch]] arose as a regional subvariety of Sethic languages in the Upper Mercia. Dialects of this branch evolved from the common Proto-Mercian language. Spoken dialects are known as Common Mercian, while the literary standard is called Classical Mercian, itself derived from an earlier Old Mercian written language. [[Arbean of Moria|Arbean languages]] spoken in Moria consist of two major groups of dialects — High and Low Arbean. The High Arbean dialects served as vernacular for standardization of the local literary norm called Classical Arbean, alongside its earlier stage known as Old Arbean or Book High Arbean.

''Moynna'' is Latinic transcription of [[Sethic]] (Dwarvish) '''Моенна'''. In Sethic and Gonian languages “Моенна” means ''world'', ''Earth''. It is not quite clear when did this word occur in these languages. However, most of the scholars today believe that there wasn’t an appropriate word in [[Common Sethic]] language. Some believe that this word appeared in northern dialect of Common Sethic, during the Big Migrations of Dwarves, but more probably this word is a loan either from Gonian or from the Elvish languages. Nevertheless, [[Elves]] rather use word “Onker” for Earth, than Moynna. == Geography of Moynna == === Regions === Although Moynna is name for the entire world in Sethic languages, it is actually used to name only one subcontinent where the [[Dwarves]] live. Beside them, some human (Gonian) and Elvish (Tartharic) tribes live in Moynna, too. Moynna is usually divided into five regions. Those are: '''Lands to the South''', '''Old''' or '''Upper Sethia''', '''Nadaron''', '''Moria''' (''Morion''), and '''Gono-Dwarvish''' (''Gono-Sethic'') '''lands'''. Lands to the South consist of several deserts. They are not settled by any race. Some Sethic tribes (the Southern Dwarves) passed through these lands during the Big Migration, on their way to the human islands in the east. Old or Upper Sethia is mountainous region in the middle part of Moynna. It’s the place where the first Dwarvish country and culture were born. Capital of Upper Sethia is Limar Noka (Лимар Нока in [[Vandar's script]]), which is [[Upper Sethic]] for ''the Stone Fortress'' ([[Nadarian]] ''Лимард Кнокка''). Nadaron is a peninsula in the north-eastern part of Moynna. It was inhabited by the Elves at first, but Dwarves settled it during the Big Migration. Nadarian tribes led several wars against the Elves and ever since Dwarves and Elves are big enemies. Capital of Nadaron is a coastal fortress and a harbour Limard Nadaronta (''Лимард Надаронта'' in Vandar’s script), which is [[Nadarian]] for ''the Fortress of Nadaron''. Moria (in Sethic languages Морион) is coastal land in the west of Moynna. Its capital was Morion, a city in the mountains that separate Moria from the rest of Moynna. Today Moria is a waste land since its population died or emigrated because of vampirism. Gono-Sethic or Gono-Dwarvish lands are located on the very north of Moynna. They were originally settled by Humans and Elves, and Dwarvish tribes came during the Big Migrations from Old Sethia. Dwarvish and Gonian (human) tribes mixted together, while the Elves stuck to the coast at first and later finally left these lands. Today here lives the Gono-Dwarvish tribe called Mervians. === Relief === The highest peak of Moynna is Ando Palyata (''Андо Палiата''), which is Nadarian for ''the Grand-Mother’s Head'' at 7900 ft. (2400 m) on the border between Upper Sethia and Nadaron. == History of Moynna == {{Seealso|History of Moynna}} == See also == *[[History of Moynna]] *[[Moynna ethnographical questionnaire]] *[[Sethic languages]] {{wip}} [[Category:Moynna]] [[Category:Planets]] Nadarian 2538 10782 2006-07-11T15:43:13Z Zlatiborica 190 {|style="background:#f9f9f9; float: right; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width:30%; font-size:95%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 |- style="text-align: center;" !colspan=2 style="background: #dfdfdf; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; font-size: 110%;"| <big>мобба надаронион</big> |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Spoken in: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| [[Moynna]] |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Spoken by: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| [[Dwarves]] |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Total speakers: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| c. 30,000 |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Writing system: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| [[Vandar's script]] |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Genealogy: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| [[Sethic languages]]<br>&nbsp;[[Common Sethic]]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;East Sethic<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Newer East Sethic<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Nadarian''' |- !colspan=2 style="background: #dfdfdf; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;"| Typology |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Morphology: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Inflecting |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Morphosyntax: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Nominative-Accusative |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Word order: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| [[Subject Object Verb|SOV]] in the standard language, but [[Subject Verb Object|SVO]] and [[Verb Subject Object|VSO]] are also present in some non-literal dialects |- !colspan=2 style="background: #dfdfdf; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;"| Credits |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Creator: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| [[User:Zlatiborica|George D.

It is used for better describing of conworlds and concultures. __TOC__ == Questions of Place == === Describe the geography of where your society calls home. === '''[[Moynna]]''' is a subcontinent situated between the Elvish lands on the north, the lands of the Humans on the east and the Big Ocean on the west. It consists of three regions inhabited by Dwarvish and mixed Human-Dwarvish tribes (Upper Sethia, Nadaron, and Gono-Dwarvish lands), and two waste regions (Lands to the South and Moria). Moynna is mostly mountainous, although there is a big Gonian plain on the north. On the south, there are several waste deserts. Moynna has a lot of woods in its mountainous parts. It is surrounded by seas on west, north and east. There are two main rivers in Moynna, River Mahta and River Brabhon. The highest peak is Ando Palyata at 7900 ft (2400 m). === Describe the climate your society deals with. How severe are their seasons? === Moynna has a mountainous continental climate. Winters are very cold and with a lot of snow, while the summers are quite warm and dry. Southern parts of Moynna have a little bit warmer climate. === What kinds of natural disasters has this society gotten used to? === Floods during the spring, when the snow from the mountains starts to melt. === What are the most commonly-grown foods? === Maize and vegetables, and vine along the coast. === What are the most commonly-eaten meats? === Fish along the coast and pigs and lambs in the continental parts of Moynna. === What foods are considered exotic or expensive? === Fruits, since they aren't grown in Moynna because of its climate. Only the royal families imported fruits from the south and ate it on their courts. === What forms of alcohol are common? Rare? === Wine is common along the coast, but not in the continental regions, while beer is common in the continental regions, but less along the coast. Brandy was also popular on the kings' courts. === Is there usually enough food and water for the population? === Yes, there is. === What is this place's most abundant resource? === Maize, vegetables, sheep (and thus wool), wood. === What is its most valuable resource? === Gold and silver, which is found in Upper Sethia. === What resource is it most lacking? === Vegetables, which are only grown in Gonian plain and exported to the other regions. === How do people travel from one place to another? === On foot usually. === Are the borders secure? In what way? === Quite secure today, since the lands are surrounded by mountains, waters and desert. However, it wasn't hard for the Dwarves to invade Elvish and Human lands on the north in the history. === How many people live here? === About 80,000: c. 15,000 in Upper Sethia, c. 30,000 in Nadaron and c. 35,000 in the Gonian plain. === Where in this place to they congregate? === In the plains and along the coast in Nadaron and Gono-Dwarvish lands, and everywhere in Upper Sethia. There are many smaller towns and villages, and only five fortified cities (Limard Knokka in Upper Sethia, Limard Nadaronta in Nadaron, Morion in Moria, and Limard Gondora and Limard Firinno in Gono-Dwarvish lands), one of which is a waste city today (Morion). === What part of this place do they avoid? Why? === The uninhabited areas on the south (because there are the deserts) and in Moria (because it was wasted by vampirism, and the people still fears of it). === What are the most common domesticated animals here? And what are they domesticated for? === Sheep, used for food, clothing and leather. Goats, used for milk and leather. Fowl, used for eggs and food. Dogs, used for guarding and herding. Cats, used for mousing. Pigs used for food. Cows and horses are not domesticated. === What are the most common wild animals? === Several wild beasts are mentioned in the literature. Lions were both feared and admired. Most of the wild animals are now extinct (because of both hunting and the climate getting colder), except for wolves, bears, foxes, and other smaller animals. There are no snakes in Moynna, because of the climate. === Which animals are likely to be pets? Which ones won't be? === Cats and dogs. Some upper-class people keep singing birds. == Questions of Time == === How far back does this society's written history go? === About 4500 years. 4500 years ago the [[Sethic runes]] were invented. Before that, history was only spoken and sung, for about 2500 years. === How far back do its people believe it goes? === Since creation, which was, according to the legends, c. 7000 years ago. === What is the worst disaster they believe they've faced? === Terrible epidemic of vampirism. === What was the best thing that ever happened to them? === [[History of Moynna|The Golden Age]], about 1500 years ago, when the Dwarvish kingdoms where richer and more powerful than ever. === What in their past makes them feel ashamed? === A civil war between two brothers of the Braban dynasty, when King Gargna Braban killed his brother and the dynasty of Braban was cursed. === What in their past makes them proud? === Victory in the war with the Elves in Nadaron. === What are they afraid of happening again? === Epidemic of vampirism. === What are they hoping will happen? Do they think it likely? === Nothing. === What do they assume the future will hold? === The present state of affairs continuing forever, or entering another Golden Age. === How has this society changed? Do its current members realize this? === From a mining society to an agricultural society. Class distinctions and differences in wealth have increased in the process. The current members are not aware of this; they think the current state of affairs has applied since shortly after creation of world. === What are the most popular stories about the past? === Heroic poems and songs about brave Dwarvish soldiers who fought the Elves. === Who in the past is the greatest hero? The worst villain? === Dwarvish soldier Phakna is the greatest hero, while the worst villain is Elvish king Nandollon. In Elvish literature, however, king Nandollon is known as Nandollon the Wise and is celebrated as one of the greatest Elvish kings. Dwarves didn't have a word for stratagem before they met the clever king Nandollon, because nobody was that wily as he was. Thus they started to use adjective ''nandolna'' for ''wily'' and noun ''nandol'' for ''stratagem''. === Do people think the present better or worse than the past? === Worse if compared with the Golden Age, but better if compared with vampirism. === Do people believe the future will be better or worse than the present or past? === They have no opinion about the future. == Questions of Sex and Family == === How many spouses may a man or woman have? === Only one at time. === Who decides on a marriage? === People usually marry between the ages of 15 and 20, and then their parents decide. A man over the age of 25 may decide on his own marriages, and so may in practice a widow over that age. A marriage is more of a legal contract than of a religious matter. === Can a marriage end in divorce? How? === A man may freely divorce a wife if she isn't good enough for him. A woman usually has to seek divorce through her close male relatives, although cases where a grown woman has left her husband due to physical maltreatment are not unheard of. === Who usually takes custody of children if a marriage ends for some reason? === Usually the mother takes custody, though the opposite is not unheard of, especially if there are male children. === How is adultery defined? What (if any) is the punishment? Who decides? === Adultery is defined as a married woman having sex with someone else than her husband. Men may have lovers, although that's kept as a secret. A husband may leave an adulterous wife. === How are families named? === Family name is quite important. There are several ways in which a family can get its family name: #by a name of a famous ancestor (Toran's son, Gondora's son, priest's son, etc.) #by a characteristic of an ancestor (taller than usual, dummier than usual, green-eyed, etc.) #by a place of living ("the Hill one", "the Forest one", etc.) === What happens to orphans? === They should be taken care of by their father's family. Sometimes it is the mother's family instead, if they have a higher social status, or if they are more willing. === How are boy and girl children treated differently? === Boys have more freedom. === Are premarital relations allowed? === In theory they are allowed for men but not for women. In practice, they are very rare. However, nobody exercises any control over widows or divorcées, even comparatively young ones. === How does your society define incest? Rape? How do people react to these? === Incest is sex between close relatives and is very, very rare. Cousin marriages occur among high nobles and royals. Rape is the taking of someone by violence, and is punishable. Rape of a virgin may even be punished by death, though that would require that she is noble and the rapist is not. Rape within marriage is another matter, though it is generally frowned upon. Paedophilia is punishable and is rare. === What, if anything, is considered a good marriage gift? === Money, precious metals or stones, land or goods, all depending on the status of the involved families. When a widow or divorcée remarries the marriage gift may be wholly symbolic, like a ring. === What secret vice is believed to be widely practiced? === Homosexuality among the nobles and bestiality with sheep among country boys. === What secret vice actually is practiced? === Homosexuality. Bestiality occurs but is not as common as is supposed. Young wives of older men often have male lovers. === What sexual habits are widely believed common among foreigners? === Bestiality, due to the vampirism which was brought to Moynna by the Human tribes of the east. === How do people react to homosexuality? === It is frowned upon but not punishable. It is not accepted in the society, although is common among the nobles. === How do the genders dress? === The common male dress consists of leather pants and sweater. Women wear dresses or skirts and sweaters. City women and noble women would normally not expose their breasts, although peasant women may do so in certain contexts. Male always wear some kind of hat, while older and married women wear kerchief. === Is prostitution legal? How are prostitutes viewed? Is this accurate? === There is no prostitution. === What professions or activities are considered masculine? === Being a warrior, a miner and a shepherd are male professions. === What professions or activities are viewed as feminine? === Looking after children and the household. === What inanimate or sexless things are considered male or female? === The Sun is considered male and the Moon female, but they are considered animate. === What is the biggest sexual taboo? === Mother-son incest. It leads to both mother and son being executed, whereas father-daughter incest would normally only lead to the father being executed. Father-son incest would probably be very taboo, but it is not thought of. === Does this society connect the ideas of marriage with love? === In theory yes, but marriage is often based on land, money or goods. Woman should love her husband even if she didn't love him before the marriage. === What does this society mean by the word "virgin" and how important is it? === It means an unpenetrated female, and it is quite important at a woman's first marriage. == Questions of Manners == === Who speaks first at a formal gathering? === The most noble, eldest and most influential person. === What kinds of gifts are considered in extremely bad taste? === Giving money and some invaluable or simple things. === How do younger adults address their elders? === As ''filya'' (uncle, Nadarian вхилiа) or ''gama'' (aunt, Nadarian гама). Very old people are addressed as ''palya'' (grand-mother, Nadarian палiа) and ''nadko'' (grandfather, Nadarian надко). === What colours are associated with power? With virtue? With death? === There are no colours associated with power and virtue (although red and yellow are sometimes associated with power), and black is always associated with death. === If two men get into a fight, how is this supposed to be resolved? === Among young men it would lead to actual fighting. Nobles may duel with swords if grave matters of honour are involved. Normally more sober men are expected to intervene. === If two women get into a fight, how should that be resolved? === Women are not expected to fight physically. As with men intervention is expected. === When is it rude to laugh at something funny? === During a ceremony. === What kinds of questions cannot be asked in public? In private? At all? === Questions about sex are avoided in public and in polite company. === How do people demonstrate grief? === Crying and screaming is expected for women, but men are not supposed to cry. === What does this society do with their corpses? === They are buried with a religious ceremony. === What kinds of jewelry do people where? And when? === Necklaces and rings of precious metals, sometimes with precious stones. They are worn all the time but more at joyous ceremonies and festivities. Women are expected to wear more jewelry than men, and nobles more than common people. === Who inherits property? Titles? Position? === Sons, or in their absence brothers or brother's sons or unmarried/divorced daughters inherit property. It is usual for a wife to remain in possession of her husband’s property until she dies. Titles and positions are in theory all bestowed rather than inherited, though ones basic social status as nobility is inherited from the father at birth. === What happens to those suffering from extreme mental illness? === They will be looked after by their relatives. If they have no relatives who are able to look after them they become beggars. === What are the most popular games? How important are they? === Various board games, ballgames and forms of play and sport exist. The only organized sport is wrestling, which is very popular. === What parts of the body are routinely covered? === The genitals, the backside, and among noble women or women otherwise concerned about their virtue the breasts. Adult peasant women routinely go with their breasts bare while working in the fields or while feeding their babies. === How private are bodily functions like bathing or defecating? === Defecating and urinating are private. Men may urinate rather more openly than women. Bathing is not considered private, though most women wouldn't, unlike men or children, bathe entirely naked. === How do people react to physical deformity? === It depends on the nature of the deformity. If it is a big and rare one, people will be feared. === When and how does someone go from child to adult? === Usually between age fifteen and age twenty, by marrying. == Questions of Faith == === Is there a formal clergy? How are they organized? === Yes, there is. They are organized into different ranks based on seniority. === What do people believe happens to them after death? How, if at all, can they influence this? === They believe that their bodies rot and their souls are taken to the Moon, who is goddess of death in their mythology. === What happens to those who disagree with the majority on questions of religion? === They are frowned upon but left alone as long as they do not protest against the religious habits of the majority. === Are there any particular places considered special or holy? What are they like? === There are holy stones, springs and caves. Dwarves believe that the holy spirits, some of which are good and some evil, live in the holy caves. They also believe that the holy stones, which are considered holy because they have unusual shape, were made when the holy spirits and gods passed that way. About the holy springs they believe that these springs are healthy and they go early in a holiday morning to drink water from them. Those who can’t see well can get their good sight back if they wash their eyes with this holy water early in a holiday morning. === What are the most popular rituals or festivals? === The festivals of the solstices. Rituals are performed during the funerals, weddings, and births. === What do people want from the god or gods? How do they try and get it? === They pray to their gods to give them good harvest. They gather on every Hannardan (middle day of month) and attend priests’ liturgy to the gods. === How do their religious practices differ from their neighbours? === Humans (Gonians) believe in only one god and several holy spirits. They also believe in reincarnation. Elves believe in several gods, their angels and also several holy spirits. They believe in reincarnation, too. === What is the most commonly broken religious rule? === Fast. It should be held for a month, from the third Hannardan to the fourth. During the fast Dwarves should eat only vegetables and no meat, eggs, milk or cheese. However, it is most commonly broken. === What is the least-violated religious rule? === Hannardan gatherings. === What factions exist within the dominant religious institutions? How do they compete? === The Dwarvish Church is only one, but there are three factions inside it, one representing each Dwarvish country: Upper Sethia, Nadaron, and Gono-Sethic lands. Before there was a Morian faction, too. In the [[History of Moynna#First Age|First Age]], before the Big Migration, the church was unique. These three factions often compete which one is going to be greater and richer when they perform rituals and festivals. === Are there monastic groups? What do they do and how are they organized? How do you join one? === There is one monastic group and it isn’t connected with the Dwarvish Church. Its members are only men and they live a simple and a poor life. They are not commonly seen in the towns and cities since they live high in the mountains and almost never leave their monastery. Often they are subject of women’s gossiping. === How are those who follow different faiths treated? === As unbelievers (Nadarian ''iонкежаллое''), those who don’t know the real truth about the gods, the creation of world, and the life after death. === What relationship do religious and political leaders have? === Although the Church is not formally connected with the royal courts, religious leaders are very influencing in the politics. The political leaders respect them and often ask for their opinion on something. === What superstitions are common? What kinds of supernatural events/beings do people fear? === There are a lot of supernatural beings in [[Sethic mythology]], including vampires, water spirits, evil horses, ghouls, ghosts, etc. The people are also very superstitious. Every work is started with singing of a spell to protect it from evil magic, etc. == Questions of Government == === Who decides whether someone has broken a law? How? === There are judges (Nadarian ''калмае'', singular ''калма'') in each town. They decide whether someone has broken a law when somebody complains to them. The judges are proclaimed by the King. === What kinds of punishments are meted out? By whom? Why? === There are two types of punishments: death (for bigger crimes) and slavery (for everything else). Slaves serve at noble and rich people’s households. === How are new laws created or old ones changed? === There is the Council of the Wise, which can create new laws and change the old ones. Its members are over 55 years old former judges. Every new law and a change of an old one, however, must be allowed by the King. === Is there some form of clemency or pardon? What is involved? === Judge’s word is last and final. Family of a condemned can complain to the King, but he doesn’t often change the judge’s decision. === Who has the right to give orders, and why? === The King gives orders: in war for bravery, and in peace for an extraordinary community work. === What titles do various officials have? === There are only judges and officers. The highest officer is called дотторан (dottoran), and there is only one of them in a kingdom. Smaller officers are called араделiе (aradeliye, plural of арадел) and there are several of them. Simple soldiers are called парθаллое (parthalloy, plural of парθалло), and there is a lot of them. Soldiers are actually mobilized peasants. There is no one official army in a Dwarvish kingdom, but if war happens, the army is made of the male population older than 17. The officials are proclaimed by the King. They are noble and they live in the royal court. === How are the rules different for officials as opposed to the common person? === Officers are invincible, while people can complain about the judges to the King. === How do government officials dress? === Same as common people, but their clothes have more colours and they wear more jewelry. === Is the law written down? Who interprets it? === It is in Nadaron and Gono-Dwarvish lands, but not in Upper Sethia. In Nadaron and Gono-Dwarvish lands the judges have to refer to the law, but in Upper Sethia they can decide on their own opinion. === Once accused, what recourse does someone have? === None. One can’t get out of slavery nor from death. === Is torture allowed? What kinds? === There is no mercy for the condemned ones… === How are people executed? === They are hung up in Gono-Dwarvish lands and in Nadaron and Upper Sethia their heads are cut off. === Who cannot rise to positions of leadership? === Poor people. Only nobles can have leading positions, and rich people often become noble because they have a lot of money. === Is bribery allowed? Under what circumstances? === Usually not, but there are numerous examples of judges being bribed. === What makes someone a bad ruler in this society? What can be done about it? === A bad ruler doesn’t appear in public and doesn’t make speeches and sing patriotic songs. During the wartime, a bad ruler is the one who isn’t winning. === What are the most common or dangerous forms of criminal? === Stealing is the most common. == Questions of War == === Who declares war? === The King. === Who has the power to declare conditions of peace? === The King, but in practice the commander in the field would be the one actually negotiating the terms. === What happens to prisoners taken in battle? === They are either executed or taken to slavery, but if peace happens they can be returned. === What form of warfare does this society use? === From our point of view, Dwarvish wars would look like our medieval wars. === Who are the Elite warriors? What distinguishes them? === There are no elite warriors. Soldiers who gain order for bravery are more respected. === How does someone get command of troops? === The King proclaims the officers and they are usually noble or rich. === Where do the loyalties of military units lie? === === Are there professional soldiers? Do they make up the bulk of the military? === There are no professional soldiers. === Has this society ever attacked another? Do they want to? What would make them do so? === They had one civil war and one war with the Elves. === Who are their enemies? Who's winning? === Elves are their biggest enemies. The Dwarves won. === What do soldiers do when there's no war? === Live normal life. == Questions of Education == === Does this society have its own language? Its own writing? === There are three Dwarvish [[Sethic languages]] that are written in [[Vandar's script]] and in [[Sethic runes]]. === How common is literacy? How is literacy viewed? === Literacy isn’t common and people who can read and write are much respected. === What form and value are books? === The books are rare and are respected, although they are useless for the simple people. === Who teaches others? How do they teach? === Usually only future priests learn to write. Elder priests teach them. In the cities noble and rich people learn to write, too. They hire a priest to teach them. === Who decides who learns to read or write?

If somebody wants to become a carpenter or blacksmith, etc. they go to current carpenters and blacksmiths and learn from them. There are no scribes. === Are foreigners ever brought in to teach new skills? Who does that? === No, not ever, except that some Dwarvish tribes mixed with Human (Gonian) tribes and Gonian linguist Vandar has created a new alphabet for Dwarves. The Gonians have also taught Dwarves how to work in fields. They are the first and the only one other nation that Dwarves accepted as friends and neighbours. === How do this society's doctors try to treat wounds and sickness? === Priests and old women serve as doctors. They pray to gods, put some herbs on wounds, say spells to beat the evil magic, etc. === Which medical assumptions of this society are wrong? === They believe that every sickness is an act of evil magic and they heal it by singing spells. == Questions of Art == === What are the favorite art forms? === Sculptures and music. === What are the least-favorite? === Paintings. === How respected are artists? === There are no artists, but people themselves make sculptures.

Piercing? Facial hair? Make-up? === There are no such things. == Questions of sex and marriage == === Is sex confined to marriage? === It should be, but sex can sometimes happen out of marriage and that’s not so terrible. === Or, is it supposed to be? What constitutes aberrant behavior? === It should be, but sex can sometimes happen out of marriage and that’s not so terrible. === Is there anything about this culture or religion in that culture that specifically addresses sexual conduct? === No, there isn’t, except that a married pair should always have at least one child. === Are there laws about it? What about prostitution? === There is no prostitution. === How old should someone be in your culture to be having sex? === One should be married, but sex can occur before marriage at about age of 15 to 17. === What is considered too great a difference in age for a couple? === Although nobody can stop someone to marry an older woman or man, such marriages are sometimes subject of gossiping. However, it is normal for a man to be up to ten years older than woman (e. g. she’s 17 and he’s 30). Marriages with a big difference in age of the spouses are not uncommon at all. === Do relationships allow multiple partners? === Nope. === Should sex be a one-to-one experience? Or are groups allowed? === One-to-one. === And, of course, what about homosexuality? Is it frowned on? Encouraged? === It is frowned on, but occurs with nobles sometimes and that’s kept as a secret. == Questions of death and burial == === What is their understanding of death and dying? === Death is the final end of life. After it, the souls are taken to Moon, where the goddess of death lives. From there they can see their relatives what are they doing in Moynna. === Do they cremate their dead? Or, how are dead bodies disposed of? === They don’t perform cremation, but bury their dead bodies in their family cemetery in the backyard. === Is the family responsible for the body? === Yes, they should bury it, or they will be cursed. === What part do the priests play? === They have to be on the funeral to say a prayer to God and some spells so the soul can find its way towards Moon and the family is not going to be cursed. === Are there cemeteries at all? === Yes, there are family cemeteries in the backyards of their houses. === Or, does everyone have a crypt in back with all the relatives in it? === Exactly, just as I have already said above… === Do people visit the dead? If so, how often and why? === The middle day of the year – the sixth Hannardan – is the day for visiting dead. On that day, the family brings some food and drink to their family cemetery and eats some of it there and some leaves for the dead. They should do it on every sixth Hannardan (which is also called карраллоедхан, “day of the dead”), or they are going to be cursed and the souls of their dead will be angry on them, but if they really can’t make it, never mind. They also wear black robes when visiting dead. Priests are not necessary in this ceremony. == Questions of suicide == === What do people in this culture think about suicide? === It is a terrible thing. Suicides are not buried in the family cemetery, but out of town, and priests don’t come to pray for their souls. Their souls are cursed. Only the gods can give and take lives, mortals do not have right to do that. Murdered people are buried in the family cemetery and priests do pray for them, and if family knows who has killed their beloved one, then he’s executed. Executed people are not prayed for and their bodies are buried out of town. Their souls are cursed too, and they can’t reach the Moon, but stay on Earth as vampires, evil ghosts, etc. === Is it the greatest sin one can commit? Or is it a sin at all? === Not the greatest, but sure is a very, very big one. === Is it the great and last comfort of a tormented soul? === No, it isn’t. === Is it worse than murder? === Yes, it is.

Questions of Law, Justice and Police */ cat __NOTOC__ '''[[Dr. Zahar’s Ethnographical Questionnaire]]''' was compiled by David Zahir to help in the description of [[conculture]]s, and can be found in the files section of the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture/ Conculture group at Yahoo]. To make it easier (and encourage) to fill it out I &mdash; [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] &mdash; have created a [[Templates|template]] formatting the questions as wiki headings. To use template create a page named e.g. '''''Your conculture'' Ethnographical Questionnaire''' and enter the text <nowiki>{{subst:Ethnographical Questionnaire|</nowiki><em>Your conculture</em><nowiki>}}</nowiki> into the edit box &mdash; most easily done by copy-pasting the test in the box above, replacing the words <tt><em>Your conculture</em></tt> with the actual name of your conculture &mdash;, then save the page and then open the edit window again. Now the edit box questions will contain the list of questions formatted as wiki headings, with vertical space between for you to fill in your answers. (I put this page here for three reasons: (a) to show it as David Zahir originally wrote it, (b) to provide an easy way to read through the questions, and (c) to advertice and describe the use of [[Template:Ethnographical Questionnaire|the template version]].) ''Don't'' copy-paste the contents of this page into your own page; the formatting won't be as nice, and you'll have to do a lot of editing to make it look nice, and ''don't under '''any''' circumstances'' enter your answers into the template editing page, since that will ruin the template for others! == I.

(Truncation of ''constructed culture''.) An imaginary race, people or species invented as a diversion or as background for a work of fiction. If you are looking for help to start describing your conculture, have a look at [[Dr. Zahar’s Ethnographical Questionnaire]]! [[Category:Terminology]] Talk:Latin Pinyin 2553 18068 2007-01-05T00:05:34Z Muke 1 ''r'' == '''z''' doesn't seem likely a likely choice for a Latin speaker of Imperial times, as Latin grammarians say that {{sc|z}} is pronounced {{sc|sd}} or {{sc|ds}}, and it is frequently used in Vulgar Latin inscriptions for the reflex of {{sc|dj < dĭ, dĕ}} before a vowel, so you get spellings like {{sc|zabvlvs}} for '''diabolus''' and even {{sc|Zodorvs}} for '''Theodorus'''! Later it was even used for palatalized {{sc|g}} and affricized {{sc|j}} — witness the name of the pretender Maximinus, whose cognomen is variously written '''Daia''' and '''Daza''', presumably pronounced {{IPA|[dadʒa]}}. (One wonders where the name came from. Can it have been Illyrian?) These spellings suggest that if one goes for 'Latin' letter values '''z''' must be something like {{IPA|[dz]}} or possibly {{IPA|[dʒ]}}, and something {{IPA|[z]}}-like won't be likely at all. (Also note that all of Italian, Old High German, Old French and Old Spanish use '''z''' for dental affricates!) FWIW I've always found the ''r'' mapping to be the main attraction of Pinyin (and GR! {{-)}}) I think a Roman would definitely hear {{IPA|[ɻ]}} as '''r''' — a strange '''r''' to be sure, but definitely not a '''z'''. These considerations of course affect the spellings of ''z, c, zh, zh''. It doesn't seem right to me to conflate ''c'' and ''s'' — if anything should be conflated it is the ''zh'' series vs. ''z'' series distinctions, since that is not observed by quite a lot of Chinese speakers. Therefore I suggest: {| | ''z'' || '''t(i)/z''' || || ''c'' || '''th(i)/z''' || || ''s'' || '''s''' |- | ''zh'' || '''t(i)''' || || ''ch'' || '''th(i)''' || || ''sh'' || '''s(i)''' || || ''r'' || '''r''' |} NB '''z''' as alternative spelling for both ''c'' and ''z'': the Romans would probably regard aspiration as simply unexpressable after '''z'''! BTW wouldn't it be better to use '''u''' rather than '''v''' as an initial? After all that is the more authentic Latin spelling: '''V''' as capital and '''u''' as minuscle. As for the finals I would use '''o''' for ''ou'', since {{IPA|[o]}} when it occurs is merely an allophone of {{IPA|/ɤ/}} which is normally written ''e''. In fact Pinyin ''o'' outside ''uo'' or ''ou'' occurs only after labial, e.g. ''bo'', where it writes {{IPA|[uo]}}, or at any rate {{IPA|/uɤ/}}. Many older transcriptions use '''''o''''' for ''uo'' or for some instances of {{IPA|/ɤ/}}. Taking Latin and Vulgar Latin orthographic values into account I think it likely to adopt '''uo''' which at least occurred in some Latin words like {{sc|duo}}, but avoid '''ou''', and then '''o''' is ''{{sc|the}}'' choice, IMHO, in order to keep it distinct from '''u'''. I also have the feeling that ''ü'' should be written '''iu''', since {{sc|y}} was generally merged with {{sc|i}} in Latin, and ''iu'' of course would be '''io'''. I definitely feel '''cy''' for ''qu'' against '''cu''' for ''ku'' is somewhat weird, but I also appreciate that weirdness may be something to appreciate. As for ''ng + t'' the obvious solution is '''nchth''', since that is how a Greek γχθ would have been rendered in Latin — NB that χτ was unorthographic in ancient Greek. I remain to be convinced that a stop before an aspirated stop was actually released and aspirated, but that was at any rate how they were written! BTW IMO your '''Author''' box merits a template! [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 07:36, 15 July 2006 (PDT) :Well, this whole deal is something I haven't touched in some time (and I know a lot more about Latin phonology and the spelling of borrowed foreign words in later periods by now). As for V/u, that's really more a medieval thing: the classical period didn't have minuscules, and modern spelling (at least, so far as I'm familiar with) uses V as consonantal and U as vocalic (or for labiovelars, as in ''quo'' and ''sanguis''). The other things are reasonable. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 20:10, 15 July 2006 (PDT) Just wondering why the <o> in <ionle> not <iunle>.

The copula may not be omitted in Senjecas. *'''174'''. That upon which the action of a verb is exerted is called the object. The object may be either direct or indirect, ''e.g.'', in <font color=blue>nus tı̋r ternőşo me̋ton núş' o lűqa</font>, he promised him three measures of wheat, "three measures" is the direct object and "him" the indirect object. *'''175'''. Verbs which can have a direct object are called transitive; those which cannot are called intransitive. In Senjecas, most verbs are ambitransitive, that is, they can be both transitive and intransitive. ==Subject and Predicate <font color=blue>ɱa̋a̋tosc̆e eega̋þosc̆e</font>== ===Subject <font color=blue>ɱa̋a̋tus</font>=== *'''176'''. The subject of a finite verb is in the nominative case, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>e̋ʂ̮es ʂe̋rsa</font>, the horse runs. *'''177'''. The subject of a dependent finite verb is in the motive case, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus num a̋to ɱe̋ʂa</font>, I wanted him to go. ===Subject and Verb <font color=blue>ɱa̋a̋tos ufva̋a̋nosc̆e</font>=== *'''178'''. A finite verb is marked only for mood, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus sa̋rta</font>, I hoe; <font color=blue>nue̋s sa̋rte</font>, let them hoe. ===Predicate Noun and Adjective=== *'''179'''. With verbs signifying "to be, to become, to appear, to taste, to be named, to be chosen, to be made, to be thought, to be regarded", ''etc''., a noun or adjective in the predicate is in the same case as the subject, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>nus túşo vaatőşo éħo me̋ļaþus tıta̋a̋la</font>, he has become angered by your speech. These verbs are called copulative verbs.

A substantive annexed to another substantive to describe it, and denoting the same person or thing, agrees with it in case. This is called apposition. The noun thus used is called an appositive and is placed after the noun to which it is an appositive. '''I, the prince, have given an order.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>m-us</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ɱa̋lt-us</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>vűnð-om</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>vy-vűnð-a.</font></center> |- |1-NM.s |prince-CL6.NM.s |order-CL3.MO.s |RED-order-IND |} *'''183'''. A noun may be in apposition with the subject or the object of a sentence, where in English "as" or a like word would be used. '''Horses are being offered to the sun god as a sacrifice.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>sémus</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>e̋ʂ̆en</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>pe̋ndom</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>suule̋şo</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ḑe̋ȝɱum</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>o</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>pe̋nda.</font></center> |- |one-NM.s |horse-CL6.MO.p |sacrifice-CL5.MO.s |sun-CL2.ST.s |god-CL6.ST.s |to |sacrifice-IND |} *'''184'''. The appositive of material or contents, denotes that of which anything consists, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>veerűrosə s̆a̋a̋de a̋ɱdes</font>, a spring of fresh water; <font color=blue>du metőes miilnőes</font>, two measures of flour. ==Adjectives== ===Agreement of Adjectives=== *'''185'''. Attributive adjectives agree with their substantives in class only. This applies to adjectives of whatever kind: determinate, non-determinate, or participles. {| |<center><font color=blue>rűűðo</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>citőlos</font></center> |/ |/ |<center><font color=blue>rűűðe</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>a̋ɱes</font></center> |/ |/ |<center><font color=blue>rűűði</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>a̋nþis</font></center> |- |red |box |/ |/ |red |bird |/ |/ |red |flower |} {| |<center><font color=blue>rűűðo</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>cı́tolőes</font></center> |/ |/ |<center><font color=blue>rűűðe</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>aɱe̋es</font></center> |/ |/ |<center><font color=blue>rűűði</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>anþı̋es</font></center> |- |red |boxes |/ |/ |red |birds |/ |/ |red |flowers |} *'''186'''. If, however, the attributive adjective is separated from its substantive by another phrase, it must then agree in class, case and number, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>a̋le ɱa̋ces</font>, white cow; but <font color=blue>a̋les qomőşo éna ɱa̋ces</font>, the white cow in the stable. *'''187'''. Because they are not preposed, predicate adjectives must agree with their substantives in class, case and number. They may be connected to their substantives by the copula or a copulative verb, becoming a part of the predicate or assertion made of the subject, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>alvűnes a̋les e̋sa</font>, the dove is white. *'''188'''. An attributive adjective qualifying several substantives agrees with the nearest substantive in class and is understood with the rest, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ðe̋vaþe e̋ʂ̆esc̆e re̋ðusc̆e</font>, the injured horse and rider. *'''189'''. A predicate adjective qualifying several substantives agrees in class, number and case with the nearest substantive, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>e̋ʂ̆esc̆e re̋ðusc̆e ðe̋vaþus e̋sa</font>, the horse and rider are injured. ===Adjective Used as a Substantive=== *'''190'''. An attributive adjective may be used as a substantive. It is put in the class of the missing substantive, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>pőrus</font>, just man; <font color=blue>meerőes</font>, important things. ==Pronouns <font color=blue>stı́ı́vnoomnőes</font>== ===Demonstrative Pronouns <font color=blue>dı̋ʂo stı́ı́vnoomnőes</font>=== *'''191'''. The demonstrative pronouns are <font color=blue>dus</font>, this, referring to what is near in place, time or thought; <font color=blue>nus</font>, that, referring to what is more remote; and <font color=blue>álnus</font>, that over there, referring to what is even more remote. *'''192'''. The unemphatic demonstrative, which is often used in English as the antecedent of a relative, is not expressed in Senjecas. Instead a participle is used. '''I saw those who were going.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>m-us</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>per</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>a̋t-ant-un</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>per</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>őc̆a.</font></center> |- |1s-NM |PPTC |go-APCP-CL6.MO.p |PPTC |see-IND |} '''I saw those who had gone.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>m-us</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>per</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>a̋~a̋t-aþ-un</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>per</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>őc̆a.</font></center> |- |1s-NM |PPTC |go-APCP-CL6.MO.p |PPTC |see-IND |} ===Relative Pronouns <font color=blue>stı́ı́vnoomnőes</font>=== *'''193'''. There are no relative pronouns, adjectives or adverbs in Senjecas. Instead, the verb in the relative clause is put in the relative mood and preposed to the substantive that it modifies. '''The man who is here is my father.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>ı́ðu</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>e̋s-u</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ɱı̋r-us</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>m-úşo</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>a̋p-a</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>e̋-sa.</font></center> |- |here |be-REL |man-CL6.NM.s |1s-ST |father-NM.s |be-IND |} ==The Cases ȝeþma̋es== ===The Nominative Case nóómnєȝe̋þmas=== 186. The nominative case marks substantives that are used as the subject of a finite verb or in the predicate after verbs signifying to be, etc. ɱı̋rus per ğe̋ma. ɱirűes per ğe̋ma. man ptc. came. men ptc. came. The man came. The men came. ===The Stative Case saaþȝe̋þmas=== 187. The main function of the stative case is to limit the meaning of a noun or adjective with respect to a noun. The primary use of the stative case is to state the position of a thing or an idea, either literally or figuratively. Other uses include the partitive idea or the idea of separation or source. A substantive in the stative case may limit the meaning of another substantive, to express various re-lations, many of which are denoted by "of" or by the possessive case in English. 188. The Stative with Nouns. The stative that depends on a substantive is called attributive. It has the following functions: a. The stative case is used to mark the objects of postpositions that do not indicate a change of posi-tion. ve̋naðe dı̋ґes dorı̋şo únða pos sa̋a̋ta. wounded antelope tree under ptc. stand. The wounded antelope stood under a tree. b. The place at which something happens is put in the stative with the postposition éna. dű nertőes ğorőşo vuðőşo éna pos pa̋a̋lca. two armies of-mountain base at ptc. clash. The two armies clashed at the bottom of the mountain. c. The time at which something happens is put in the stative with the postposition éna. núes ɱésnєdaaȝnőşo éna pos mőőda. they spring-festival at ptc. meet. They met at the spring festival. d. The Possessive Stative, i.e., possession or other close relationship. apa̋şo ɱe̋e̋sos father's house the house of the father, or the father's house ɱirűm śe̋rðas men's lineage the lineage of the men. e. The Subjective Stative, i.e., the subject of an action or feeling. luðűşo ɱe̋nas núşo me̋ħɱaltűşo o me̋ħas e̋sa. people's love of-them king for great is. The love of the people (i.e., that the people have) for their king is great. f. The Objective Stative, i.e., the object of an action or feeling. pisśűşo núşo le̋das enemy's of-him hatred his hatred of (i.e., felt toward) the enemy. g. The Stative of Measure marks substantives which measure space, time or value, e.g., tı̋r ḑeȝa̋m sen-tos, a three days' journey; őśє pedőm dőris, an eight-foot tree; śm̋tos oȝőm éś̮en, a horse worth 100 sheep. h. The Causal Stative indicates the cause or origin of a thing. meħo degőm me̋źas great of-offenses anger anger at great offenses i. The Partitive Stative indicates the whole about which parts are spoken. ȝecűm menґűes of-orators many many of the orators j. The Familial Stative indicates the clan into which one is born in the naming of the Children of Stone. The patronymic is first, then the clan name. méħśame̋şo da̋a̋ȝmos of-aurochs clan the aurochs clan 189. śm̋tos, hundred, and ħe̋slos, thousand, are nouns. They and their compounds are used with a stative plural noun, e.g., c̆er nááusőes, four ships, but, naausőm c̆érśmtőes, 400 ships. 190. As the attributive stative stands in the relation of an attributive adjective to its substantive, so a sta-tive may stand in the relation of a predicate adjective to a verb. Verbs signifying to be, to become, and other copulative verbs may have a predicate stative expressing any of the relations of the attributive possessive: a. Possessive: me̋dos dos ɱaltűşo (e̋sa). law this of-prince is. This law is the prince's. b. Material: arga̋mos dos ondőşo de̋maþos (e̋sa). wall this of-stone built it-is. This is a wall built of stone. c. Measure: mus s̆ésdemśőes c̆e̋r ɱetőm (e̋sa). I sixty -four of-years am. I am sixty-four years old. d. Origin: tus toálu anerűm ve̋e̋ɱa. you of-such ancestors spring. From such ancestors are you sprung. e. Partitive: sémus sőlonum se̋f ɱidu ɱirűm pos nőmna. One Solon seven wise of-men ptc. called. Solon was called one of the Seven Wise Men. 191. Any verb may take a partitive stative if its action affects the object only in part. nus cőŗun ve̋nca. but nus coŗűm ve̋nca. he soldiers sends. he of-soldiers sends. He sends the soldiers. He sends some of the soldiers. 192. The verbs ge̋ma, seize; dűca, pull; se̋lca, drag; and nı̋ı̋ja, lead, may have an object mutative with a sta-tive of the part taken hold of, the stative coming before the mutative object. sı̋nґes coste̋şo num pos gєge̋ma. lion by-leg him ptc. had-seized. The lion had seized him by the leg. du tóverűes śamőm ɱa̋xļem per nı̋ı̋ȝa. two priestesses by-horns heifer ptc. lead. The two priestesses will lead the heifer by the horns. 193. The verbs śűűla, hear; me̋nða, learn; pe̋ɱa, seek; and ı̋ca, request, may take a mutative of the thing heard, etc., and a stative of the person heard from. lűðus ɱalþűşo ı̋ðam pos pe̋ɱa. people from-prince ruling ptc. sought. The people sought a ruling from the prince. 194. Expressions of fulness or want take the stative of material. núes me̋nґo iiħőm ņı̋ħa. they of-many necessities lack They lack many necessities. 195. The verbs pe̋e̋la, fill; va̋rx̆a, stuff; and sa̋ta, sate, take the mutative of the thing filled and the stative of material. núes étenőşo c̆a̋şon pos pe̋e̋la. they with-grain baskets ptc. fill. They filled the baskets with grain. 196. The verbs paűsa, release; s̆e̋va, free; dűűra, remove; dűsa, cease; műta, deprive; ca̋da, rob; and ta̋a̋ja, steal, take the mutative of the thing or person released and the stative of separation of the thing re-leased from. núes núşo catesnőm cólaþun pos paűsa. they of-them from-chains prisoners ptc. release. They released the prisoners from their chains. 197. Verbs signifying to accuse, to prosecute, to convict, to acquit, and to condemn, take a stative denoting the crime with a mutative of the person. mus orga̋şo núm pos ántaȝe̋ca. I of-murder him ptc. accused. I accused him of murder. 198. The objective stative follows many adjectives derived from the verbs in paragraphs 195 and 196. nus ħuðtєta̋m pe̋e̋lus pos e̋sa. lűðus edőşo ı̋ı̋ħɱus pos e̋sa. he of-evils full ptc. is. people in-food lacking ptc. are. He was full of evils. The people were lacking in food. 199. Adjectives and adverbs of the comparative and equative degrees have a stative of separation with the postposition sóma. The word order is standard, marker, and adjective/adverb. nı̋bes ȝaane̋şo sóma ólvu őősvi śe̋rsa. cheetah ostrich in-comparison-to more fast runs. The cheetah runs faster than the ostrich. 200. The indirect object of the action of a transitive verb is put in the stative with the postposition o. tus dőőne menðűş' o lűvrom nom. you give student to book that. Give that book to the student. 201. The person or thing for whose advantage or disadvantage anything is or is done, is put in the stative with the postposition ħo. sőlu va̋a̋du a̋pa núşo źoonaþűm ħo śe̋ma. every good father of-him children for toils. Every good father labors for his children. 202. The concept of "to have" is expressed with the verb "to be" with the possessor in the stative case with o. That which is possessed is the subject of "to be." tı̋r ɱace̋es múş' o e̋sa. three cows me to are. I have three cows. ===The Mutative Case miþȝe̋þmas=== 203. The main function of the mutative case is to limit the meaning of a noun or adjective with respect to a verb. The primary use of the mutative case is to state a change in the position of a thing or an idea, either literally or figuratively. 204. The mutative case is used to mark the objects of postpositions that indicate a change of position. źóónaþűes ɱe̋e̋som éħa pos śe̋rsa. children house out-of ptc. run. The children ran out of the house. 205. The mutative case marks the direct object of the action of a transitive verb. ɱus dőn ɱe̋rźa. we these things do. We do these things. 206. Any transitive verb whose meaning permits takes an object of kindred signification. This object re-peats the meaning already contained in the verb. An example in English is "to sing a song." Some English verbs that this construction will replace would be "make, have, get" and "hold." nus mı̋n̆o renðőşo éna tı̋r sı̋ɱon pos sı̋ɱa. she small tear in three stitches ptc. stitch. She took three stitches in the small tear. 207. The mutative case marks, with verbs of motion, the particular ground over which the motion passes. źóónaþűni ve̋e̋r̆om pos ta̋ra. children bridge ptc. cross. The children crossed the bridge. 208. The mutative case marks substantives used as adverbial expressions of extent of time or space. ɱe̋e̋sos sőla ḑe̋ȝam pos ı̋ða. house whole day ptc. burn. The house burned all day long. 209. Verbs signifying to name, to choose, to appoint, to make, to think, to regard, etc., take a predicate mu-tative besides the object mutative. meħɱa̋ltus num coŗőnum pos nőőmna. king him general ptc. appointed. The king appointed him general. ===The Vocative Case ħaɱȝe̋þmas=== 210. The vocative case, accompanied by the vocative particle ő, is used to mark direct address. ő coŗa̋a̋gu, sémun túşo vűnðon pos sese̋n̆a. o general, one of-you orders ptc. has-completed. General, your orders have been carried out. ==Postpositions póstiiva̋aþþnos== 211. Postpositions are independent words that connect words in a sentence with other parts of the sen-tence. These connecting words are placed after the nouns they govern. Depending on what is connected, the objects of postpositions are in either the mutative or stative case. If the postposition in-dicates a change in position, literally or figuratively, the object of the postposition is in the mutative case. If the postposition does not indicate a change in position, the object of the postposition is in the stative case. terse ğose̋es da̋a̋nem o pos a̋ta. thirsty cattle river toward ptc. went. The thirsty cattle headed toward the river. ğose̋es daane̋şo éna sate̋es pos e̋sa. cattle river at sated ptc. is. The cattle at the river were sated. 212. The construction consisting of an intransitive verb plus a prepositional phrase, e.g., "he went with his friends," is not used in Senjecan as it is in many modern languages. The idea is expressed by a transitive verb and its direct object, e.g., "he accompanied his friends." ===213.

Epajan 2556 12301 2006-08-14T09:32:38Z Napalmbrain 183 Epajan is an isolating conlang used in Narawan. ==Phonology== The Epajan "alphabet" is actually an abugida, similar to Devanāgarī script (used to write Sanskrit and Hindi). Each character represents a consonant, and a diacritcal mark indicates a vowel following it. A solitary vowel may only occur at the start of a word (e.g. the 'e' in Epajan), and two vowels cannot occur together. In addition, 'm' and 'n' may appear at the end of a word instead of a vowel (e.g. 'n' in Epajan). Consonants in Epajan are fairly simple and are only pronounced in one way. Apart from 'j', which is pronounced like the s in "treasure", they are all pronounced as in English. Consonants: b, d, f, g, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, z By contrast vowels are variable, not always pronounced in the same way. Vowels: a, e, i, o, u, ū * a: as in "attic" or "father" * e: as in "met" * i: as in "tin" * o: as in "on", or like the 'a' in "about" * u: as in "bun", or like the 'a' in "about" * ū: as in "zoom" or "book" Note: a word cannot end with 'i'. ==Grammar== Like Chinese, Epajan is an isolating language which has no case system, instead relying on word order to determine the subject, object or verb in a sentence. ===Number=== There are no plurals in Epejan, so the words for a single and a plural of something are the same. ===Mood=== There are a number of grammatical particles used to express the "mood" of a sentence (i.e. if it is a command, a question, if the speaker is unsure of something, etc.), occuring after the word it refers to. Questions are asked like a normal statement, with one of these particles after the word being questioned. Below is a list of the particles which describe the grammatical mood: {| border="1" ! Particle !! Meaning |- | sū || statement of fact |- | gu || expresses opinion |- | te || expresses a plea or a wish |- | je || expresses uncertaintity |- | ke || used in a question to determine what the speaker is questioning |- | ra || expresses a command |- | pa || negates a word |- | zu || expresses a generalisation |- | kū || expresses sarcasm |- | le || indicates the speaker likes something |- | ne || indicates the speaker dislikes something |} ===Pronouns=== Epajan is a null-subject language, so unless needed pronouns in the subject are usually dropped. Note that like nouns, pronouns in Epajan have no case declensions and no plurals, so the word for "I" is also the word for "we". * First person (I, we): ba * Second person (You): bu * Third person (He, she, they): bū ===Word order=== Epajan uses Subject Object Verb word order. Because it is an isolating language, it relies heavily on this to distinguish subjects from objects. ===Time=== There are no tenses in Epajan. Instead the time an event took place can either be stated explicitly as an adverb or just not mentioned. Notably, the Epajan language has many different words for expressing time, something considered important in Narawan culture.

The exception is the Sard-African system (2) where the length distinction was simply lost. All of (2, 4, 5, 6) can be derived from (3), although in the case of (2) it is more reasonable to assume that it derives directly from (0) through loss of the length distinction. In the case of the Corsican system (2) it is however most likely that it derives from a system parallel to (1) where {{SC|ĭ}} had merged with {{SC|ĕ}} and {{SC|ŭ}} had merged with {{SC|ŏ}} before the loss of the length distinction. === Old French (and Rhodrese) vowel developments in stressed open syllables === {| class="gridtable IPA" ! style="text-align: left !important" | Western V.L. ! style="text-align: center !important" | i ! style="text-align: center !important" | e ! style="text-align: center !important" | ɛ ! style="text-align: center !important" | a ! style="text-align: center !important" | ɔ ! style="text-align: center !important" | o ! style="text-align: center !important" | u |- ! style="text-align: left !important" | VL | style="text-align: center !important" | &nbsp;iː&nbsp; | style="text-align: center !important" | eː | style="text-align: center !important" | ɛː | style="text-align: center !important" | aː | style="text-align: center !important" | ɔː | style="text-align: center !important" | oː | style="text-align: center !important" | uː |- ! style="text-align: left !important" | pre-French | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | ei | style="text-align: center !important" | iɛ | style="text-align: center !important" | æ | style="text-align: center !important" | uɔ | style="text-align: center !important" | ou | style="text-align: center !important" | u |- ! style="text-align: left !important" | Old French | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | ei>oi | style="text-align: center !important" | iɛ | style="text-align: center !important" | æ/ɛ | style="text-align: center !important" | yœ | style="text-align: center !important" | øy | style="text-align: center !important" | y |- ! style="text-align: left !important" | Mdn French | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | wa | style="text-align: center !important" | jɛ | style="text-align: center !important" | ɛ | style="text-align: center !important" | ø | style="text-align: center !important" | ø | style="text-align: center !important" | y |- style="border-top: 1px dashed #000 !important;" ! style="text-align: left !important" | Old Rhodrese | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | ei | style="text-align: center !important" | iɛ | style="text-align: center !important" | æə | style="text-align: center !important" | uɔ | style="text-align: center !important" | ou | style="text-align: center !important" | u |- ! style="text-align: left !important" | Old Rh. i-uml | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | ɛə | style="text-align: center !important" | yœ | style="text-align: center !important" | øy | style="text-align: center !important" | y |- ! style="text-align: left !important" | Old Rh. u-uml | || || | style="text-align: center !important" | ɔə || || |- ! style="text-align: left !important" | Mdn Rhodrese | style="text-align: center !important" | i | style="text-align: center !important" | aj/i | style="text-align: center !important" | jɛ/i | style="text-align: center !important" | ja/jɛ/wa/ø | style="text-align: center !important" | wɔ/ø | style="text-align: center !important" | aw/y | style="text-align: center !important" | u/y |} == References == *{{note|Theiling}} I owe the ideas of connecting lines to show the interrelationships of the vowel systems and of color-coding the vowel qualities to [http://www.conlang.info/latin.html Henrik Theiling's page about Latin vowel shifts].

In Classical Latin this had been replaced by a movable (but not free) stress. The well-known Classical Latin stress rule is that the stress falls on the penultimate (next to last) syllable of the word if that syllable is long, but on the antepenultimate (third from the end) syllable if the penultimate is short. === Syllable length and syllable boundaries in Classical Latin === In Classical Latin a syllable was long if its vowel nucleus was long or diphthongal, or if it was a short vowel followed by more than one consonant, including a [[geminate]] or double consonant, thus e.g. ''boniˈtātem, deˈlĕcto, ˈcompŭto''. If a vowel was followed by more than one consonant the first of these belonged to the preceding syllable, which then counted as [[Closed syllable|closed]]. A single consonant between vowels belonged to the following syllable, e.g. ''ˈpo-si-tus'''. A syllable with a short vowel followed by a consonant cluster is called "long by [[Positional length|position]]"; the vowel is said to "be in position" and the consonant cluster is said to "make position". While the term "long by position" and "positional length" are still in common use the terms "to be in position" and "to make position" are now somewhat old-fashioned and will be avoided in the following. === ''Muta cum liquida'' === The main exception to these rules in Classical Latin was when a vowel was followed by a single consonant followed by a [[liquid consonant]] (''l'' or ''r''), the so-called ''muta cum liquida'' rule: in this case the entire stop + liquid combination belonged to the following syllable, and did not attract stress, thus ''ˈtenebrae, ˈvolucres, ˈpharetra, 'cathedra'' etc. == Stress in Vulgar Latin == The stress in Vulgar Latin normally remained in the position determined by the Classical Latin quantitative stress rule even after changes in vowel quality and quantity had obliterated the old quantity system. Vulgar Latin thus acquired [[distinctive stress]]. === Exceptions to the Classical stress placement in Vulgar Latin === ==== ''Muta cum liquida'' in Vulgar Latin ==== In Vulgar Latin a stop + liquid usually attracted stress, i.e. the ''muta cum liquida'' rule was '''not''' operative. Thus e.g. ''caˈthedra''. Interestingly pre-classical poets and dramatists didn't observe the ''muta cum liquida'' rule — e.g. Naevius accents ''inˈtegram'' on the penultimate syllable. Even classical poets sometimes let a ''muta cum liquida'' attract stress, so obviously there was dialectal variation in pre-classical Latin, and between dialects contemporary with Classical Latin. ==== Vowels in hiatus ==== In Vulgar Latin ''i, e'' and ''u'' followed by a vowel became a semivowel ''j'' < ''i, e'' ({{IPA|[j]}}) or ''v'' < ''u'' {{IPA|[w]}}). Since the ''j'' or ''v'' counted as a consonant the stress had to shift. For some reason the accent shifted to the following vowel in the case of ''j'' but to the preceding vowel in the case of ''v'': :''muˈlĭĕrem > mulˈjerem; '' :''puˈtĕŏlis > putˈjolis'' ({{SC|pvteo‍́lis}} is attested in an inscription); :''paˈrĭĕtes > par'jetes'' but :''bat(t)ˈŭĕre > *ˈbattuere > ˈbattere; '' :''conˈsŭĕre > *ˈconsuere > ˈconsere; '' :''haˈbŭĕrunt > *ˈhabuerunt > ˈhaberunt; '' :''teˈnŭĕram > *ˈtenueram. '' Probably there was analogy with forms like ''ˈbattuo, ˈhabuit, ˈtenui'' where the stress fell on the first syllable according to Classical rules. Also note that the ''u'' > {{IPA|[w]}} was lost in these words. Does Spanish ''muˈjer'' come from the accusative but Italian ''ˈmoglie'' from the nominative, or was there dialectal variation in accentuation of hiatus words?

From there, you can search the archives, get an RSS feed, manage your subscription, etc. It's also the ONLY place you can go to sign up and post things to the list. A read-only archive with a nicer user interface is at http://archives.conlang.info/ . [As of April 2009 this archive has ceased mirroring new messages. Henrik Theiling knows about the problem and has said he's planning to fix it but hasn't had time to do so yet.] Conlang-L is also <i>mirrored</i> as a Yahoo group, but there is no way to have posts to the Yahoo group sent to the actual list. Do <b>not</b> subscribe to the Yahoo group. It has no admin anymore. Go to http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/conlang.html instead! ==A brief history of the list== The list evolved from some informal email conversations among an early group of language enthusiasts. The earliest mail mirror was run by John Ross out of the BU physics department, and was up and running by 29 July 1991. It moved to Denmark on 23 March, 1993. The original note reads in part: <blockquote><p>''By agreement with John Ross, the CONLANG mailing list has been moved to diku.dk, the mail hub of the CS Department of the University of Copenhagen. Send all submissions to CONLANG at diku dot dk. The address at buphy still works, but it is just an alias for the new list.''</p> <p>''Lars Mathiesen (U of Copenhagen CS Dept) (Humour NOT marked)''</p></blockquote> (Note that the submission address in that historical note '''NO LONGER WORKS'''.) Later, growing traffic and changes at the university necessitated a move. In January&ndash;February of 1997 the list moved to its current home at Brown University's LISTSERV server. David Durand made the move and actively moderated the list from that point on. Before the move, threads centered on debates on the relative merits of [[auxlang]]s had become common on CONLANG; these were often incendiary and irritated many listmembers. Accordingly, when the new CONLANG list was set up at Brown, a sister list AUXLANG was set up to cater to participants of these threads, and auxlang advocacy was banned from CONLANG. It still is. (Dispassionate discussion of auxlangs is welcome.) In ??? John Cowan took over actual moderation duties, as "Lord of the Instrumentality". Later the torch was passed to Henrik Theiling. ==List behaviour== The CONLANG list rejects attachments. ===Posting limits=== As a traffic-limiting measure, if the list receives more than 99 messages in a given day (in Brown's time zone), all subsequent messages will be automatically held and not delivered until the admin unblocks the list. Sometimes, during longer periods of high traffic, a further limit is imposed restricting each person to five posts a day. ''This restriction is currently in force.'' Messages beyond the daily limit are simply bounced, not held for the next day. Posters are encouraged to consolidate several shorter replies on a single topic into a single message. ==Subject Topic Tags== In the subject line of a post, you can mark the post with one of the following tags. Tags are only recognised if a colon follows immediately: no other decoration (e.g. brackets, an extra space) should be used. Any 'Re:' etc. is irrelevant -- the software skips it. Good tag syntax: CHAT: Is the world really round? Bad tag syntax: [CHAT]: Is the world really round? These are the official tags the listserv software can be instructed to filter automatically. There are currently exactly four: * OT: off-topic stuff * CHAT: off-topic stuff of the conversational sort * USAGE: natural language usage (all of the YAEPT and similar should use this) * THEORY: linguistic theory discussions Only the above tags are official and configured for filtering. However, most advanced mail clients can be set to have extra filters, such as for the following unofficial tags: * OFFLIST: not actually seen on-list, this tag is added to make explicitly clear that you are taking a subject offlist (i.e. you're emailing someone directly about it) The following are explicitly not included in the list of filterable tags: * META: threads about CONLANG-L itself * TECH: technical issues (e.g. email programs, list-related technical problems, etc) Finally, there are two meta-tags: * [CONLANG]: This should not be actually added when starting a new subject; you can make the listserv prepend it automatically to all email (so that you can set your mail client to filter all list traffic) * "was": used to change the subject, or more commonly, to indicate that the subject of a thread changed a while ago and you're no longer pretending it's about the original topic Example: JAMA says flat earth leads to flat [@] (was CHAT: Is the world really round?) Note that tags ARE included after the "was", but "Re:" is NOT, nor is [CONLANG]. ==Acronyms== List of acronyms specific to the Conlang Mailing List: * AFMCL - "As for my conlang.." ** AFMOCL - "As for my own conlang" * ANADEW - "A natlang's already dunnit, except worse" * ANADEWism - Something you thought was unique, but ANADEW * IML - "in my 'lect" (dialect or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiolect idiolect], depending on context) * LCC - the [http://conference.conlang.org Language Creation Conference] * LCS - the [http://conlang.org Language Creation Society] * NCNC - "No cross, no crown".

I am known to most people as Sai. My main conlang-related endeavors are: * the [http://conlangs.berkeley.edu Language Creation Conference], which I started and ran nearly by myself, * the [http://conlangs.livejournal.com LiveJournal Conlangs community], which I started and still own and moderate, * teaching the [http://conlangs-decal.livejournal.com UC Berkeley Conlangs DE-Cal] class for two years (the first and so far only college-level semester-long class on conlanging that I know of), * a [http://saizai.livejournal.com/657391.html non-linear fully two-dimensional writing system] thesis-in-making, and * an old essay [http://community.livejournal.com/conlangs/14524.html on the design of an ideal language]. I am mostly a meta-conlanger; I am interested primarily in conlang as technology, that is, as a means of pushing the boundaries of what language is capable of doing. In my organizer role, however, I am supportive of all sorts of conlanging (not just my own), and try to encourage diverse perspectives on linguistics, conlanging, and the world in general. I'm currently organizing the 2nd LCC. If you or your nearby institution(s) can possibly host it, or if you could speak on a topic (large or small), please let me know.

Letter !! IPA symbol(s) |- | b || b |- | c || ts |- | d || d |- | dh || ð |- | f || f |- | g || ɡ |- | k || k |- | l || l |- | m || m |- | n || n |- | ŋ || ŋ |- | p || p |- | q || x |- | s || s |- | sh || ʃ |- | t || t |- | th || θ |- | v || v |- | y || j |- | z || z |} Note: There is no 'r' is Tibëdëyel- 'l' takes its place.<br> Note 2: 'ŋ' can only appear at the end of a syllable. ===Vowels=== {| border="1" ! Letter !! IPA symbol(s) |- | a || æ, ə |- | e || ɛ |- | ë || i, iɪ |- | i || ɪ |- | o || ɒ |- | ö || ɔɪ |} Note: a word cannot end with the letter 'o' or 'i'. ==Grammar== ===Case system=== Tibëdëyel uses an ergative-absolutive case system, where the subject of an intransitive verb and the object of a transitive verb are the same, but the subject of a transitive verb is different. Cases are always marked by suffixes. Tibëdëyel recognises four cases: absolutive (no suffix), ergative (-'lel'), genitive (-'yel'), and locative (-'vib'). ===Word order=== The most commonly used word order is Subject Verb Object, but since cases are marked it is not very important. In fact, it is not uncommon to see Verb Subject Object and Subject Object Verb, though the latter is seen as somewhat archaic by speakers (like saying words like 'thee' and 'thou' in English). ===Tense=== Verbs are unaltered in the present tense. Past tense is indicated by adding the prefix 'e-' to the verb (if the first letter is a consonant), morphing the first letter into 'e' (if the first letter is a vowel except 'e') or by prefixing the letter 'n-' (if the first letter is 'e'). The method of indicating the future tense is the same, except 'o' is used instead of 'e'. ===Syllable stress=== The second syllable of a word is normally stressed (e.g. Ti-BË-dë-yel). ===Plurals=== Words do not inflect to indicate plurals. Instead, one expresses a plural by preceding the word with the number of things, or the word 'den' (meaning- "plural", "more than one"). ===Reduplication=== Reduplication of the last syllable in a word is used to express "more" of an adjective, the same way '-er' and '-est' are sometimes used in English. For example: {| border="1" ! English !! Tibëdëyel |- | green || semin |- | greener || seminmin |- | greenest || seminminmin |} ===Questions=== A question is formed by adding the grammatical particle 'ce' to the end of a sentence. The word order stays the same as it would be for a statement. ===Pronouns=== The basic personal pronouns are listed below: First person singular: iken Second person singular: shad Third person singular: azanë Personal pronouns are treated like any other nouns, i.e. 'den iken' means 'we', 'ikenyel' means 'mine', etc. It is important to remember the language is ergative-absolutive, so this applies to pronouns as well, e.g.: "I see you" is "ikenlel yava shad", and "I slept" is "iken egesheq". ==Sample text== ''Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights'' yem den taniklel etidil shë e ked sesh vösolme e den veleshov. den azanëlel idrö maëb e shlen e sillë zezel sesh neshë abicnesyel.

To achieve this, the language uses a set of phonemes that correspond to musical notes. ==Phonology== X-4 uses five consonants and two vowels. The consonants are '''b''', '''c''', '''d''', '''f''' and '''g'''. The vowels are '''a''' and '''e'''. All letters have their IPA values except '''c''' which is [k]. These make a tiny and unnatural but workable spoken phonology. The maximal syllable structure is CVC. To play an X-4 utterance on a musical instrument, you just play the notes indicated by the letters. Dozenal 2590 11176 2006-07-20T04:18:54Z Christina 18 '''Dozenal''', also known as '''duodecimal''', refers to a system of counting using twelve, rather than ten, as a base. Thus, there are words for multiples of twelve and for powers of twelve, such as 144 (12&sup2;), 1728 (12&sup3;), and so on.

They are genetically compatible with ''Homo sapiens'' and virtually indistinguishable from their terrestrial cousins, apart from certain secondary characteristics such as eye coloration and physical/mental capabilities. ==History== All the ''Homo antiquus'' races derive from a common ancestry. At a point in their common development, a cataclysmic event known as the Sundering took place, causing the division into the extant three sub-races: the [[Calleronian]]s, the [[Cironean]]s, the [[Rhosan]]s, as well as a purely conjectural race called the [[Dark Opwajwa]] whose existence has yet to be definitively proven. Of these four, the most populous and dominant race is that of the Cironeans. [[Opwajwa]] is the name given in the Cironean language to the original ''Homo antiquus'' race and literally means "Ancient Ones." In their own language, [[Redhrácic]], they were '''ár Eíferi''', literally "the people of Eífe." ===Origins=== It is not known whether the original Opwajwa home world survives or whether it was destroyed in the Sundering. It was called by it's inhabitants '''Tháladán''', or the "Garden World"; in Cironean, it is called '''Chulastrone'''. The rise of the Opwajwa and their history up to the end of The Darkening is recorded by the Cironean Joivar in the '''Shóredó Gazoi''', the [[Song of Hope]], a collection of hymns to Aive (the Cironean form of Eífe) and lays to the first generations of the Opwajwa, the "ancient heroes" who fought evil in the Sundering and preserved "the loyal remnant" who became the Cironeans. ====Cosmology==== Redhrácic and its successor tongues all have a complex structure of cognates denoting existance. An Opwajwa could state the fact of his existence or life by using the verb ''esnit'' - e.g., ''Sá úrdhú esnitmúsásh'', I exist/live to serve. This would be an abnormal utterance in daily conversation and was mainly a ritual verb used in prayers. More common were the "alpha" and "beta" copulae. These reflect a bisection of the terrestrial ''to be'' into extrinsic and intrinsic aspects, respectively. Thus, one would say ''Sá tháladúr mánipethásád'' (I had been a gardener) since being a gardener is not integral to one's essence; however, one would say ''Sá áden mónepethaesád'' (I am a man) because gender is an essential characteristic. However, Redhrácic languages also have a verb that describes an "act of existence" in dramatically different terms. ''Mán'' and ''món'' are effectively aspectual verbs of the more comprehensive conceptual ''esnit''. These three verbs are applicable to any noun in the language but one. This exceptional noun is a cognate derived from a verb: ''eífe''; it is incapable of direct translation, although through a roundabout method a definition can be obtained. ''Eífe'' is descriptive of an act of existence, but one that is unbounded in either direction - an eternal existence. More than that, though, one must understand ''eífe'' as meaning "to exist eternally, and therefore uncatalytically; and in such a way as to call forth into existence other things." Therefore, a very simple definition might read thus: "to be, uncaused, that from which ω comes to be where ω is the unboundable set of all things that exist." The only noun to which this verb is applicable is in fact derived from the verb and in its base form is identical to the verb's infinitive form: ''Eífe''. While one could define the proper noun ''Eífe'' as analogous to the English word ''God'' or its various terrestrial parallels, these stand in relation to ''Eífe'' in much the same way as the Hebrew term ''Adonai'' or its synonyms relate to the Tetragrammaton. =====The First-Parents and the Age of Expansion===== The history of the Opwajwa begins with Eífe. According to their histories, Eífe created the universe (in Redhrácic, '''Terradon''') and amidst it placed Tháladán, creating it fertile and full of life. Amidst all the plants and animals, He then raised up the parents of the ''Homo antiquus'' races, known in Cironean as Hazar First-Father and Harin First-Mother. The pair lived on Tháladán as the sole human rulers for some time, and while they traversed the planet often considered the place of their creation - '''Aedan Aethoegá''', the Mount of Beginning - as their proper home. At some time while they remained alone upon the planet, Eífe permitted Hazar and Harin to undergo a test. Some prohibition had been laid upon them; the nature of it was never passed on, possibly because the First Parents considered it to be irrelevant and prone to swell their pride. What is known, as conveyed by Joivar in the ''Shóredó Gazoi'', is that they were approached by a being identified with '''Eznitinar''', the First Being called from the Void by Eífe. ======The Time Before Time====== According to the traditions of the Cironeans, Eznitinar (the name means "first being" in Cironean; his "true" name is unknown) was the first of the fourteen '''Nuchoni''', Masters of Light. He is spoken of as being the greatest of the '''Eznitri''' in every respect, and looked on first at the summoning of his fellow ''Nuchoni'' and then of the remaining ''Eznitri'' in the expectation of being granted primacy and dominion over his fellows. Instead, Eífe divided the ''Eznitri'' into seven groups, and placed one of the first seven ''Nuchoni'' at their head and one of the latter seven beneath as a lieutenant. He then sent them to discuss among themselves what ought next be summoned from the Void. This is seen by Joivar as a test of His creations' purity, as if they chose to love their Maker they would seek to outdo each other in glorious thoughts; whereas if they thought first of themselves they would think of any new creation as a threat to their own special status and offer ideas of mediocre and undesirable caliber.

I am primary a conlanger and dabble in concultures, rather full-scale conworlds. I study and create conlangs with a variety of aims: to create aesthetically pleasing languages, to learn more about a specific type of language, to experiment with the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, or for religious designs. I have been seeking a "perfect" (used very loosely) conlang for the expression of my religious and philosophical ideas, for several years. My two most establish conlangs are [[Etora]] and Psharádi (Modern [[Tsaran]]). They share a nearly-identical vocabulary but are radically different in grammatical structure. Etora is gendered [human/animate/inanimate], case-declining [nom/acc/dat/abl], and SOV structure; Psharádi is ungendered, uncased, and SVO order (save in certain situations). ===External Links=== Continental English 2614 35610 2008-08-14T16:48:53Z Blackkdark 1214 {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 class=bordertable style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |<font color="#000000"><big>'''Language'''</big></font> |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||Unknown (Europe) |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||N/A |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||1000-3000 |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||Indo-European<br> &nbsp;Germanic<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;West Germanic<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Continental English''' |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||SVO |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: ||Isolating/Inflecting |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |<font color="#000000"><big>'''Created by:'''</big></font> |- ||[[:User:Jashan|Jashan A'al]] ||2005 |} Continental English was a conlang sketch by [[:User:Jashan|Jashan A'al]].

Some reconstruction may be possible from surviving samples. ===Noun Morphology=== Case has been lost for nouns except for genitive (-es). Pronouns retain nominative, accusative/dative (object case), and genitive. Plurals are formed by addition of -s/-es, as in [[Middle English]]. The "-en" endings (ox, oxen; child, children) have been lost, but irregular plurals (foot, feet) remain.

Many of the word structures and basic grammar, syntax, and pronunciation are very similar and will be familiar to German and English speakers. Much of the grammar is very simplified and regular, making the language easier and quicker to learn than a strictly 'naturalistic' language. Word-building is done through compound words and affixes, with regular manners of forming nouns, adjectives, and verbs. This language was formulated as a 'stealth language.' Its design principles are to be similar enough to [[Modern English]] to be easy for a native English speaker to learn, yet individual enough and unique enough to obscure the casual listener or reader from deciphering the conversation. Its vocabulary is drawn primarily from Proto-Germanic and Gothic. Talk:Continental English 2616 35211 2008-08-09T13:40:47Z Blackkdark 1214 How did its speakers end up in Europe? [[User:Nik|Nik]] 10:14, 22 July 2006 (PDT) I have to say, historically speaking, It was probably [[Middle English]] at 1300-1400 CE, maybe with the first signs of the [[Great Vowel Shift]], so it might bleed into the [[Early Modern English]] era.

It is spoken by the [[Tsara]] people, a nomadic and xenophobic tribal people thought to have originated in the area of present-day Romania. The language is at root a linguistic isolate, but has borrowed a great deal of Gallo-Romance vocabulary and features due to the Tsara's length stay in France. ===History=== The origins of the Tsaran language are a mystery. Lack of any known sister or parent languages, as well as lack of documented material prior to the Elder Tsaran period, has proven a formidable blockade. Without a doubt, the Tsaran tongue is a linguistic isolate, related none of its surrounding neighbors, Indo-European or otherwise. The features of the language do resemble a neighbor have quickly been found to have been borrowed or coincidental. It is supposed from the Tsaran oral history that the Tsendashai may have spoken either a related language or a distinct dialect of Tsaran itself; however, without written records or samples of this speech, this is purely hypothetical. ===Proto-Tsaran=== The sole known example of pre-Elder Tsaran speech was found on a fragment of pottery found near Galati, Romania in 1963 (although it remained unidentified until 1998). Whether or not it was written by the Tsara or a neighboring people is unknown. It consists of a single line: ::<font color="purple">Ky taan ky derentah sul</font> A possible partial translation was found nearby in 1967: ::''...(the) moon the ...(mid)night sun....'' It is interesting to compare this to the Elder Tsaran equivalent: ::<font color="purple">Taandais, sana-elanadais eiah</font> Assuming that it is accurate that the older inscription (dated to approximately 500 BC, four hundred years before the mark of "classical" Elder Tsaran) is indeed a precedessor of Tsaran and not, as some believe, an extinct relative, one can only guess as to what changes and influences must have taken place in the following centuries. ===Elder Tsaran (Ley Arah)=== The true "Elder Tsaran" period of the language begins at approximately 200 C.E. and extends through the last decades of the Genocide in the late seventh century. This marks the first structured and recorded instances of the Tsaran language. Elder Tsaran is marked by an extremely agglutinative structure both in its nominal and verbal systems; words ranging up to 7 or more syllables are common place. Suffixes are predominant, with only a few prefixes being present. In very early Elder Tsaran, there is evidence of a split first-person plural; an "inclusive we" (the speaker and the person spoken to) and an "exclusive we" (the speaker and some other person, but not the person being spoken to). This distinction was lost early in the history of the language. Also appearing sporadically in Elder Tsaran is a base-nine numbering system, although by the time of "Classical Elder Tsaran" (from which the majority of linguistic evidence comes) the numbering method had been replaced by a decimal (base-ten) system. Elder Tsaran was primarily a V-S-O language, with some instances of S-V-O. Elder Tsaran survives to an extent as a scholarly and learned language among well-educated Tsara today (similar to Latin or Sanskrit for Europeans), although it is increasingly rare. '''Example:''' ::<font color="purple">Selah'dais isalem arapahjes uun arah, oi'eldahel isalem arapahjes rogana</font> ::[Long ago] the whole world had one language, and the people had a common speech ===Middle Tsaran=== The Middle Tsaran period began with the destruction of the Elder Tsaran linguistic records and literature, and the Scattering of the Tsaran people. The lack of literacy and geographic isolation encouraged linguistic variation and change. Middle Tsaran was marked by a gradual preference towards shorter, more analytical constructions, although the inherent agglutinativeness of the language was still extremely apparent. Suffixes and prefixes became more regularized and simplified in their usage. The word order entered a state of flux, becoming about equally V-S-O and S-V-O. The most striking result of the Middle Tsaran period was simplifications of diphthongs into their initial vowel sound. Diphthongs throughout the language first lengthened ("ai" becoming "aai"), then dropping the final component ("aa"), and finally shortening in length ("a"). The pronominal system was affected most drastically by this and other sound changes, which set the stage for the elimination of the native pronominal system in favor of a Gallo-Roman one in later years. '''Example:''' ::<font color="purple">Seladais is arapjhes un ara, o'eldahel is arapjhes rogana.</font> (Early Middle) ::<font color="purple">Selade as aravajhis un ara, o'eldahel as aravajhis rowana.</font> (Late Middle [Eastern]) ===Dialect Divergence=== After the Crossing of the La'esh Na, the Tsaran people were effectively split into two major groups -- the free Eastern population, and the Western population trapped in Pomeillean territory. The two eventually established distinct dialects, although the Western dialect went extinct with the death of the Western Tsara in approximately 750 C.E. Within Eastern Tsaran itself, several minor dialects arose and flourished for a period of time. However, with the Renaissance and re-standardization of the Tsaran language between 900 and 1000 C.E., the majority of dialects became moribund in favor of the standardized speech. Nowadays, "dialect" is more a term of accent and a few small vocabularic differences. '''Example:''' ::<font color="purple">Selade as aravajhis un ara, o'eldahel as aravajhis rowana. </font> (Late Middle Eastern Tsaran) ::<font color="purple">Ara cojhes seladas is un ara, o'ara cojhes rogana ela is</font> (Late Middle Western Tsaran) ===Gallo-Romance Influence=== Linguistic "contamination" was inevitable when the Tsaran began re-establishing ties with the neighboring nations after their arrival in Gaul. A prime factor in this was the Tsaran sound changes -- Tsaran words were primarily mono- or duo-syllabic, and the simplification of diphthongs and softening of intervocalic sounds created a vast amount of homophones in the language. Instead of retaining two identical words (or nearly-identical words) for different concepts, often a neighboring word would be adopted and modified to more easily fit a Tsaran tongue. A very prominant result of these sound shifts was the elimination of the native pronominal structure. With the sound shifts, the distinction between the 2nd and 3rd person was effectively nullified. To counteract this, many speakers began using the local Gallo-Romance pronouns. Increasing contact and extention of this practice gradually resulted in a completely new, completely Gallo-Romance pronoun system -- genitive, nominative, and objective. Gallo-Romance has also served to standardize the somewhat chaotic word order in Tsaran. Originally V-S-O, it had developed tendancies towards S-V-O as well as S-O-V, depending on the structure of the sentence and what words were being used! Under analogy with the local French dialects, the word order has settled firmly into S-V-O, with the exception of direct objects. Like French, Middle Tsaran placed its direct objects between the subject and the verb when the direct objects were pronouns themselves. That is, one said "I him see", not "I see him." This pattern was independantly developed of the Gallo-Romance languages, but was reinforced by the contact. While originally a great number of terms regarding non-Tsaran technologies and items were adopted from the surrounding languages, it quickly became a favored method to create new terms out of the native lexicon instead. Thus while ''elís'' (church) was adopted from the French ''eglise'' (the Tsara had no notion of a specific building in which to worship before contact with Christianity), the more modern ''socára'' (telephone) is a straightforward coinage (''soc'' - long; ''ára'' - speech) File:Yasaro-alphabet.png 2619 11420 2006-07-23T21:05:15Z Teamouse 37 The Yasaro alphabet (lelimi) The Yasaro alphabet (lelimi) File:Lelimi-b.png 2620 11422 2006-07-23T21:17:55Z Teamouse 37 The letter "b" in the Lelimi script The letter "b" in the Lelimi script File:Lelimi-d.png 2621 11423 2006-07-23T21:18:11Z Teamouse 37 The letter "d" in the Lelimi script The letter "d" in the Lelimi script File:Lelimi-dh.png 2622 11424 2006-07-23T21:18:24Z Teamouse 37 The letter "dh" in the Lelimi script The letter "dh" in the Lelimi script File:Lelimi-g.png 2623 11425 2006-07-23T21:18:40Z Teamouse 37 The letter "g" in the Lelimi script The letter "g" in the Lelimi script File:Lelimi-j.png 2624 11426 2006-07-23T21:18:52Z Teamouse 37 The letter "j" in the Lelimi script The letter "j" in the Lelimi script Lelimi 2625 22397 2007-06-12T09:46:16Z Melroch 31 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/MwkCt0|MwkCt0]] ([[User_talk:MwkCt0|Talk]]); changed back to last version by [[User:Teamouse|Teamouse]] Lelimi is a writing system used for writing a number of [[Zireen]] languages, including [[Yasaro]] and related languages.

Other notable differences from Vlika usage include the low-tone vowel letters for [a] and [i], which represent [ɣ] and [z] in the Vlika script. Adaptation of Latin alphabet to Senjecas 2626 53239 2010-04-25T23:33:24Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Updating <center>HISTORY OF THE ADAPTATION OF THE LATIN ALPHABET FOR SENJECAS</center> *When humans began to commit their languages to writing, the Senjecans, through the agency of the Committee on Orthography of the Council of Archimages, began to adopt and adapt the several human alphabets for use with Senjecas. *The consonants exist as twelve pairs of a voiced and an unvoiced consonant. Each phoneme has its own grapheme. Likewise each of the six vowel phonemes has its own grapheme. The Etruscan/Latin alphabet was the first to be adopted when, in 653 B.C.E., at a meeting in Rome, 24 of the original 26 graphemes were approved as appropriate for Senjecas (omitting <font color=blue>Ξ</font> and <font color=blue>X</font>). Oriented to a left-to-right position and using contemporary graphemes where necessary, these 24 were: <font color=blue>A, B, C, D, E, V, Z, H, &Theta;, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Ś, Ϙ, R, S, T, Y, Φ;,</font> and <font color=blue>Ψ</font>. There were no miniscules as yet. The 19 consonants occupied the following places on the Senjecan consonant table: {| border=1 |i=No| !c=01| Labial !c=02| Dental !c=03| Alveolar !c=04| Palatal |- |i=No| Plosive |c=01| <center>P B</center> |c=02| <center>T D</center> |c=03| <center>Ś _</center> |c=04| <center>K C</center> |- |i=No| Fricative |c=01| <center>&Phi; V</center> |c=02| <center>&Theta; _</center> |c=03| <center>S I</center> |c=04| <center>&Psi; Ϙ</center> |- |i=No| Sonorant |c=01| <center>_ M</center> |c=02| <center>_ L</center> |c=03| <center>R N</center> |c=04| <center>H _</center> |} *Notes: **The <font color=blue>Z</font> resembled a majuscule <font color=blue>i</font> with serifs which is not available with this font. **<font color=blue>Ś</font> = /ʃ/ in Etruscan. **<font color=blue>&Phi;</font> = /pʰ/ in Etruscan. **<font color=blue>&Psi;</font> = /kʰ/ in Etruscan. *The five vowels occupied the following places on the Senjecan vowel table: {| border=1 |i=No| !c=01| Front unrounded !c=02| Back rounded |- |i=No| High |c=01| <center>I</center> |c=02| <center>V</center> |- |i=No| Mid |c=01| <center>E</center> |c=02| <center>O</center> |- |i=No| Low |c=01| <center>A</center> |c=02| <center>_</center> |} *Because of the one-to-one correspondence between phoneme and grapheme in Senjecas, an attempt was always made to have this one-to-one correspondence in whatever alphabet was adopted. But since many of the alphabets lacked enough graphemes, it was decided at this time to use geminate consonants where necessary (diacritics were not yet available), the geminate consonant representing the voiced consonant. *The Etruscan grapheme  (an x in a circle) was retained for the dental fricative, since the phoneme did not exist in Latin. The Phoenician/Greek form <font color=blue>I</font> /ʣ/ was retained. The Semitic voiceless pharyngeal fricative <font color=blue>ח</font> (khêt) /ħ/ became /h/ in Etruscan and Latin and was used to represent the Senjecan similar sound /j/ and its voiceless counterpart. It will be noticed that, from the very beginning, the grapheme <font color=blue>Ϙ</font> was used to represent the voiced palatal fricative /ʝ/. This resulted in the following table: {| border=1 |i=No| !c=01| Labial !c=02| Dental !c=03| Alveolar !c=04| Palatal |- |i=No| Plosive |c=01| <center>P B</center> |c=02| <center>T D</center> |c=03| <center>Ś ŚŚ</center> |c=04| <center>K C</center> |- |i=No| Fricative |c=01| <center>&Phi; V</center> |c=02| <center>&Theta; &Theta;&Theta;</center> |c=03| <center>S I</center> |c=04| <center>&Psi; Ϙ</center> |- |i=No| Sonorant |c=01| <center>M MM</center> |c=02| <center>L LL</center> |c=03| <center>R N</center> |c=04| <center>H HH</center> |} *From the beginning, the phonemic distinction between long and short vowels has been represented by geminate vowels, regardless of the alphabet used. The Latin vowels <font color=blue>I</font> /i/, <font color=blue>E</font> /e/, <font color=blue>A</font> /a/, <font color=blue>O</font> /o/, and <font color=blue>V</font> /u/ were adequate as graphemes for five of the Senjecan vowels. Lacking, however, was a grapheme for the open-mid back rounded vowel /ɔ/. After much discussion it was finally decided to use the Greek <font color=blue>Ω</font> as the grapheme for this phoneme, resulting in the following vowel table: {| border=1 |i=No| !c=01| Front unrounded !c=02| Back rounded |- |i=No| High |c=01| <center>I</center> |c=02| <center>V</center> |- |i=No| Mid |c=01| <center>E</center> |c=02| <center>O</center> |- |i=No| Low |c=01| <center>A</center> |c=02| <center>Ω</center> |} *Palatalization was indicated by writing <font color=blue>H</font> before the vowel. Labialization was indicated by writing <font color=blue>V</font> before the vowel. *In the year 220 B.C.E., again in Rome, after [[Wikipedia:Spurius Carvilius Ruga|Spurius Carvilius Ruga]] had allegedly developed the grapheme <font color=blue>G</font> to represent the voiced member of the palatal plosive pair, it was adopted by the Council of Archimages. After the conquest of Greece in the first century B.C.E., the Romans restored <font color=blue>z</font> to their alphabet. The alphabet still retained the old Etruscan graphemes for the alveolar plosives. Once <font color=blue>z</font> was restored, it was decided to geminate the fricatives to represent the plosives. This was officially approved in the year 28 C.E. at a third meeting in Rome. *With the advent of the [[Anglo-Saxon|Anglo-Saxon language]] adaption of the Latin alphabet, the Council of Archimages was able to refine the Senjecan use of the Latin alphabet even further. Thorn <font color=blue>þ</font> and eth <font color=blue>ð</font> replaced the old Etruscan  used for the dental fricatives. And [[wikipedia:wynn|wynn]] <font color=blue>ƿ</font>, which represented /w/, replaced <font color=blue>m</font> to represent the voiceless labial sonorant. When the Anglo-Saxon writers in the seventh century replaced <font color=blue>ƿ</font> with <font color=blue>w</font>, the Council of Archimages retained the <font color=blue>ƿ</font>. And [[wikipedia:yogh|yogh]], <font color=blue>ȝ</font>, was adopted to represent the palatal approximants replacing the consonant <font color=blue>H</font>. These Anglo-Saxon adaptations were approved by the Council of Archimages at a meeting in York in the year 703. *The next revision of the Latin alphabet to be adopted was the use of minuscules. During the reign of Charlemagne, Alcuin popularized the minuscule letters and, in the year 807, at a meeting in Dijon, the Council of Archimages, based on the fact that there were not two forms of the graphemes in Senjecas, kept to that principle but elected to use the minuscules rather than the majuscules. This resulted in the following table: {| border=1 |i=No| !c=01| Labial !c=02| Dental !c=03| Alveolar !c=04| Palatal |- |i=No| Plosive |c=01| <center>p b</center> |c=02| <center>t d</center> |c=03| <center>ś śś</center> |c=04| <center>k g</center> |- |i=No| Fricative |c=01| <center>ɸ v</center> |c=02| <center>þ ð</center> |c=03| <center>s z</center> |c=04| <center>ψ ϙ</center> |- |i=No| Sonorant |c=01| <center>ƿ m</center> |c=02| <center>l ll</center> |c=03| <center>r n</center> |c=04| <center>ȝ ȝȝ</center> |} *Toward the end of the 16th century, <font color=blue>j</font> began to be distinguished from <font color=blue>i</font>. In the year 1583, the Council of Archimages, meeting in Oxford, permitted it to be used for the palatal approximants when <font color=blue>yogh</font> was not available. *The final step in the evolution of the Senjecan Latin alphabet came with the creation of diacritics. The [[wikipedia:greek diacritics|Greeks]] had been using diacritics to indicate tone since about 200 B.C. In the 16th century, the Polish language began to use <font color=blue>ł</font> to represent /w/. This grapheme was adopted to represent the unvoiced dental approximant. The use of the acute accent dates from the 14th century. To simplify further the orthograpny <font color=blue>ć</font> and <font color=blue>ź</font> were chosen to replace <font color=blue>ś</font> and <font color=blue>śś</font>, respectively. And finally the Council of Archimages, in 1972, at a meeting in London, and at the recommendation of the Committee on Orthography, chose the Maltese grapheme <font color=blue>ħ</font> to represent the unvoiced palatal approximant, <font color=blue>ø</font> to represent the mid-back rounded vowel, and the IPA symbol <font color=blue>ɱ</font> to replace <font color=blue>ƿ</font> and avoid confusion with <font color=blue>p</font>. *Since geminate consonants and consonant clusters of more then two consonants are not permitted, the epenthetic vowel /ɛ E/ is inserted. With the advent of diacritics, <font color=blue>ë</font> was chosen. *When followed by a consonant, palatalization is realized as the near-close near-front unrounded vowel /ɪ I/. Likewise, labialization is realized as the near-close near-back rounded vowel /ʊ U/. At this time, it was decided to use <font color=blue>ï</font> to represent /ɪ I/ and <font color=blue>ü</font> to represent /ʊ U/. Also at the 1972 meeting, a final improvement included replacing <font color=blue>ɸ</font> with <font color=blue>f</font>, <font color=blue>k</font> with <font color=blue> [[wikipedia:kra (letter)|к]]</font>, and <font color=blue>ψ</font> with <font color=blue>x</font>. These recommendations were approved at the same meeting in 1972 giving the tables the forms that we have today: {| border=1 |i=No| !c=01| Labial !c=02| Dental !c=03| Alveolar !c=04| Palatal |- |i=No|

I also made it into a [http://semeb.com/dpldemo/index.php?title=Dynamic_Page_List DPL] list of pages that are members of [[:Category:Conlangs]] (but not ATM its subcategories). That way it becomes easier to maintain and more democratic, in that everyone decides for themselves if their page should belong to [[:Category:Conlangs]] and thus be included in the list. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 04:27, 13 February 2008 (PST) :Those lists might have been useful when conlang wikis were new and we didn't have much to show... I've replaced them with links to the categories; my apologies to anyone who got really attached to their front page exposure. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 15:58, 13 February 2008 (PST) ::IMHO category pages are pretty darn ugly. If you don't mind I'll create a series of [[List of...]] pages with DPL, then see to it that all pages that are now in [[List of Conlangs]] ate tagged with [[:Category:Conlangs]] and convert that to DPL as well. They will take up vitually no space on the server that way. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 07:39, 14 February 2008 (PST) == Revamp time? == This page is mighty plain and could use some beautification.

I would like to see Muke's opinion on this and on the featured article; I think that this would be too hard to implement. Also, why do you mean by informative? I thought that all the information from the old page is still on the new page, just more concise and differently laid out. I put support-related links at the top where they are accessible and disguised the ugly 'See FrathWiki:...' links, which stuck out in my opinion.

Unlike Wikipedia, the interlanguage links would be to elsewhere in the same database. It might not be too difficult, or it might cause the universe to explode. I suppose the hard part would be in getting the language names to display like they do in Wikipedia. Without some hacking, each language wanting an interlanguage link prefix would have to be set up separately. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 19:41, 31 March 2008 (PDT) :Maybe [[MediaWikiOrg:Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Wikitext_in_side_bar]] is useful.

If there are any special requests, make sure to message my User account. And hopefully you'll be able to link some of the conlangs with the natlangs, where they apply. I also will start writing more in the IPA, and maybe start a Grammar page, used to link aspects of grammar so people have a better idea for things such as declensions, conjugations, and other 'foreign' and 'native' concepts of Grammar for English speakers. <br> --[[User:Blackkdark|Blackkdark]] 04:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC) =Holidays= Okay, so Christmas, lovely as it may be, is not the only holiday celebrated around this time. Probably cause not everyone is christian. :There are lots of non-Christians celebrating Christmas. It is now believed to be a SECULAR celebration in addition to a religious one and people all over the world recognise it. I did not mean to offend anyone; I had in fact thought of designing a main page for other festivals next year. :: It's fine, but in actuality, the word Christmas means "Christ's Mass". Now I'm actually offended per se, but I was saying that I changed Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays, which is more Generic and inviting. I know it's a bit more PC, but whatever. I always thought it to be a more fitting expression to go out to everyone, from the Wicca to Jewish people to Atheists celebrating "present-day" and even to the Christians. Season's Greetings is another popular generic one. No worries. ::: How many people actually bother with the etymology of "Christmas" nowadays? If you're devout Christian, you think of God being born. If you're Japanese, for example, you think of the secular version: Santa going round distributing gifts. Now don't come up with anything like "Oh that's so Westernised and unfair to Asians, Africans etc.", please. Perfect fairness is impossible and we're speaking a language with a strong Judaeo-Christian heritage, so Merry Christmas as a generic greeting is perfectly alright. I'm hardly Christian myself, and I just don't see how it is offensive. [[User:Denihilonihil|Denihilonihil]] 02:44, 14 December 2008 (UTC) I actually think the whole idea is irrelevant. This wiki is not set up to celebrate holidays of any type, it's set up for con-worlds and the like. Why does any holiday need to be mentioned?

I just like being more generic when it comes to things like this cause it seem more inclusive of everyone. Also though, we can do a change of scenery without doing this per se. No worries.--[[User:Blackkdark|Blackkdark]] 15:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC) I'm fairly sure that today is as good as any other to revert to our normal front page as the "holidays" have passed.

In some parts, notably Iberia, all stressed vowels were lengthened, while in most parts, including Italy and Gaul, it was stressed vowels in open syllables that were lengthened; Rhodrese belongs to this latter group. The difference is best seen in the diphthongization of ''ę'' and ''ǫ'' (from Latin ''ĕ'' and ''ŏ'': in Castilian {{SC|tęrra, pęde}} became ''tierra'' and ''pié'' because the first ''e'' was stressed in both words, but in Italian they became ''terra'' and ''piede'' because the stressed syllable was closed in {{SC|tęrra}} but open in {{SC||pęde}}. In Rhodrese these words become ''terre'' and ''pier'' (plurals ''tir'' and ''pir''). </li> <li>'''{{note|a-mutation}} A-mutation''' :A-mutation lowered the high vowels ''i&zwj;̣'' and ''ụ'' to ''ẹ'' and ''ọ''. A-mutation was prior to the secondary diphthongization of ''ẹ̄'' to ''ei'' and ''ọ̄'' to ''ou'', so the a-mutated ''ī&zwj;̣'' and ''ụ̄'' diphthongize along with primary ''ẹ̄'' and ''ọ̄''. :Although a-mutation was certainly later than the diphthongization of ''ę̄'' to ''ie'' and ''ǭ'' to ''uo'' the high first elements of these diphthongs are not subject to a-mutation, whether because of the intervening mid vowel element, or because the diphthongs had already became {{IPA|[jɛ]}} and {{IPA|[wɔ]}}. </li> <li>'''{{note|a-i-mutation}} A/i-mutation''' </li> <li>'''{{note|u-mutation}} U-mutation''' </li> <li>'''{{note|ref|vowels-ui-eu}} The vowels ''ui'' and ''eu''''' </li> <li>'''{{note|vowels-oe-ae}} The vowels ''oe'' and ''ae''''' </li> <li>'''{{note|a-breaking}} Breaking of Western Romance ''*a''''' </li> <li>'''{{note|ea-mutation}} I-mutation of ''ea &gt; ia''''' </li> <li>'''{{note|diphthong-ou}} The diphthong ''ou'' &lt; Western Romance ''ō&zwj;̣'' and Latin ''au''''' </li> </ol> == Consonants == {| class="gridtable" |+Consonant correspondences |- ! rowspan="2" | VL ! rowspan="2" | Initial ! rowspan="2" | Geminate ! colspan="2" | Final ! colspan="2" | Intervocalic |- !

Final {{IPA|[ʃ]}} is spelled ''V(i)ss/Vis'', later ''sç'', with occasionally ''sz/sx'' in early texts. Word initial ''ie, ue, uo'' are spelled '''hie, hue, huo''', since the normal medieval pronunciation of initial prevocalic '''i, u''' was ''j, v''. The vowels {{IPA|[æ]}} ''ae'' and {{IPA|[ø]}} ''oe'' were found in the earliest texts, but later merged with ''e'', while ''ui'' {{IPA|[y]}} and ''eu'' {{IPA|[øy]}} merged as {{IPA|/y/}} spelled ''eu''! The spelling ''ue'' remained, but probably shifted from {{IPA|[yø]}} to {{IPA|[ø]}}. A ''k, g, sk'' before a front vowel that arose through mutation wasn't palatalized. They are spelled '''ch, gh, sch'''. {{note|sibilant-spellings}} Due to the {{sc|sc/x}} merger it is likely that ''x'' was primarily a spelling for {{IPA|/ʃ/}} all along, while {{IPA|/tʃ/}} was normally spelled ''tx'', or in early texts alternating with ''cx''. It is however likely that Classicism created a vougue for using ''x'' for {{IPA|/ks/}} — and against the 'barbaric' ''cs'' (or rather, at the time, ''cſ'') — in learnëd words, this making ''sc{{sup|i,e}}/sç'' the normal spelling for {{IPA|/tʃ/}} in all cases — even though ''sçt'' for {{IPA|/ʃt/}} < {{sc|scĭt/xĭt}} will look a tad bizarre!

Modern spelling is fool-proof in never using ''i'' in these positions (except the recognized diphthongs and triphthongs ''ie, ia, ieu, iau''), but ''j/g{{sup|i,e}}'' for {{IPA|/dʒ/}} and ''y'' for {{IPA|/j/}}. :{{note|i-ambiguous}} Medieval scribes tried to insert ''h''s to diambiguate, but that could get very messy. * The 16th century grammarian Pirrí didn't like the letter ''ç'' -- in fact he didn't mention it at all, but gladly wrote {{IPA|/tsia/}} and {{IPA|/tsie/}} as ''ciia, ciie'' as well as ''giia, giie, sciia sciie'', while e.g. ''cia'' spelled {{IPA|/tsa/}}. Word finally he showed devoicing in spelling so he needed only ''s, tz, tx, x'' as final sibilants and no non-prevocalic {{IPA|/dʒ/}}. His fellow grammarian Grieur lambasted the ''ii'' and ''tz'' spellings, as well as ''x'' for {{IPA|/ʃ/}} as barbarisms. What is really puzzling is that Grieur didn't criticize or question the spelling ''tx'' for {{IPA|/tʃ/}}. Did he feel he could not come up with an improvement, or did he in fact propose something like ţ for {{IPA|/tʃ/}} and ş for {{IPA|/ʃ/}}? &mdash; although taking this to its logical conclusion we'd get ''çţ'' and ''çç'' for {{IPA|/tʃ/}}, and likely some instances of ''ģ''! Of course we must not expect either gentleman to have been scientific or consistent! * ''z'' does not occur before {{IPA|/i/}} in normally developed native {{SUBPAGENAME}} words. All occurrences are due to borrowing, analogy or ahistorical spelling. The most common item is the name ''Clauzine'' altered from ''Claudine'' under the influence of ''Clauze'' < {{SC|Claudia}} or derived anew from ''Clauz'' < {{SC|Claudius}}. * ''-ine'' most certainly is a productive feminine ending, since the genders will normally not be morphologically distinct in the plural. Don't overuse it, we don't want Esperanto! Check Grandgent for alternatives. * {{SC|Augustu}} > ''Aost'' {{SC|Augustinu}} > ''Aoesti'' [aøst'i] > ''Aesti > Aiesti''. * {{SC|molliatu}} > ''moigleat > mogliad''. Pirrí: "La C mogliade sempre se prononciet TS et la Z sempre se prononciet DS." : {{sc|molliare}} means 'make soft', > {{sc|moljare}} > ''moiglear > mogliar''; present will be ''mogl, mogle, moglet'', since the {{sc|o}} is in a closed syllable, plural ''mogliam, mogliaç, moglien''. {{sc|mollicare}} means 'make wet' > ''molghiar'', while {{sc|mulgere}} > ''molger'' (participle most likely ''melgid'' < {{sc|*mulgītum}}). * In modern spelling of {{SUBPAGENAME}} stress falls unless otherwise indicated on the vowel before the last consonant except in words with final Vt which is stressed on the penultimate. Thus most 3d person singular verb forms need not be marked with an accent. OTOH a few words like ''amít'' 1st person singular of ''amiter'' 'admit need to be marked. What about final ''-n'' < {{SC|-nt}}? What about 2.sg. {{SC|-s}}? Might it be restored by analogy with perfect {{SC|-isti}} > ''-is'', or is that unrealistic? NB {{SC|-isti}} would be -st at the time -s was lost. * Which is the correct Vulgar Latin form of {{SC|molliare}}, {{SC|mollare}}, {{SC|mollicare}}? Participle will be ''molliad/moliad/molghiad''. * How common will {{IPA|/ɡn/}}, {{IPA|/ɡl/}} < {{SC|gVn}}, {{SC|gVl}} be? What happened to (initial) {{SC|gl}} in Old French? Will the spellings ''gn, gl'' for the palatal nasal and liquid and ''ghn, ghl'' for the clusters be OK? Since {{SC|cin}}, {{SC|gin}}, {{SC|cil}}, {{SC|gil}} will become palatal sonorants they will be quite common. I definitely don't like word initial ''nn'' and not really ''ñ'' or initial ''ll'' either. The spellings ''gl, ghn, ghl'' would give {{SUBPAGENAME}} its own character. * The superordinate goal of Grieur's orthography was to preserve the spelling of Latin / learned words, and he accepted quite a high level of ambiguity in order to make R3 spelling less 'barbaric'. For example he preserved the spellings ''ei, ou'' despite himself admitting that they were pronounced ''ai, au'', because they were closer to the Latin spellings with ''e/i, o/u'', and at the same time he wrote ''au'' in words descended from Latin words with that spelling. As for {{IPA|/ɲ/}}, {{IPA|/ʎ/}} vs. {{IPA|/ɡn/}}, {{IPA|/ɡl/}} he favored ''ign/gni, igl/gli'' as the spelling for the palatals and stated that the limited set of words having {{IPA|/ɡni/}}, {{IPA|/ɡli/}} etc. could be learned by rote. * In fact all instances of ''ciV, giV, sciV'' in {{SUBPAGENAME}} are due to either dipthongization or loan, while all instances of original {{sc|Cj}} have become palatalized consonants of various sorts and spelled ''ç/c, j/g, sç/sc, gl, gn, tx, z'' e.g. ''-ance, -çáu, -aj''. OTOH most instances of ''ch, gh, sch'' are due to 'breaking' of following {{sc|a}} or umlaut of a following back vowel. * Variation: ''naçáu'' pl. ''nacéu > necéu, nacioneal/nazzoneal > naçonial'' pl. ''nazzonel'' {{IPA|/natsonel/}} > ''neceniel''. * Clauz Grieur introduced ''ç'', but essentially used it only word-finally, using ''ciV'' for both {{IPA|/tsʌ/}} and /{{IPA|tsiV}}/ in other positions -- ''nacióu'' --, while Mighel Pirrí used diacritic ''i'', i.e. ''ciV, ciiV'', which however didn't catch no with writers. It was the 18th century academy under Joan Buriel which introduced the modern consistent usage of ''ç, j, ghl, ghn''. === Rhotics and Laterals === Rhodrese intervocalic {{SC|d}} > {{IPA|/ɾ/}} , except immediately after stress, and if there is another {{IPA|/ɾ/}} or {{IPA|/r/}} in the word {{SC|d}} > {{IPA|/l/}}. There are even occasional instances of original {{SC|r}} becoming {{IPA|/l/}} through remote dissimilation from another {{IPA|/ɾ/}} or {{IPA|/r/}}, e.g. {{SC|Mercurii die}} > ''melcheurdi''. Also {{SC|ll}} > {{IPA|/l/}} next to {{IPA|/ɾ/}}, {{IPA|/r/}}? Standard Rhodrese has three lateral sounds viz. ''l'' {{IPA|/l/}}, ''gl'' {{IPA|/ʎ/}} and ''ll'' {{IPA|/ɺ/}}. However none of these is pronounced the same over the entire Rhodrese territory: the pronunciation of ''gl'' as {{IPA|/j/}} is very widespread, although not admitted in the standard. For those speakers who still have {{IPA|/ʎ/}} for ''gl'', ''l'' is usually {{IPA|/ɫ/}}, but in many dialects it has become {{IPA|/w/}}. For many, if not most, speakers ''ll'' is {{IPA|/ɽ/}}, thus a lateral only in an historical sense. Those speakers who have ''l'' as {{IPA|/w/}} and ''ll'' as {{IPA|/ɽ/}} in their dialect will tend to use the latter sound for both spellings in formal speech. Some dialects have {{IPA|/w/}} for ''l'' and the plain velar continuant {{IPA|/l/}} for ''ll'', and such speakers will have {{IPA|/l/}} for ''l'' and the otherwise non-existent cluster {{IPA|/dl/}} for ''ll'' in formal style. When not intervocalic {{IPA|/l/}} and {{IPA|/ɺ/}} are in complementary distribution similar to {{IPA|/ɾ/}} and {{IPA|/r/}}. Historical {{SC|rl, nl, sl}}, both primary and secondary, have become ''ll'', even in {{SC|parabolare}} > ''pallar'' 'speak', {{SC|granula}} > ''grall'' 'grain'. Also {{IPA|/ɫ/}} > {{IPA|/w/}} is old, as shown by Old Rhodrese spellings: {{SC|parvulus}} > ''paruu/paruo'' (i.e. {{IPA|/ˈparvu/}} or {{IPA|/ˈparvo/}}) > ''parf'' 'boy' {{SC|parvula}} > ''parle{{ref|parle}}/paruuhe/paruohe'' (i.e. {{IPA|ˈparvwe}} (sic!)) but modern ''parvelle{{ref|parvelle}}'' 'girl'. {{note|parle}} This ''parle'' is not < {{SC|parabola}}, which becomes ''palle''. {{note|parvelle}} This is formally a diminutive but is not so used; insted ''pegle parvelle'' 'little girl' is used, although colloquially even ''parvelcelle'' which is formally a double diminutive is found. For a teenager or young woman one uses ''jaunelle'' (cf. substantivized ''jáu'', or colloquially ''jaunc'' as the male counterpart).

Where did you get your list of "1948 roots"? ----- eldin User:- andrew 2649 50968 2009-12-08T04:11:41Z - andrew 211 Also known as Andrew Smith, a language creator from New Zealand, archival assistant and all-around Hobbit.

I hope to post the resulting language at FrathWiki - when I think of a name for it! Glaring omissions from my collection are Hindi and Turkish.

the Faranih people on the continent of Lhined on a currently undiscovered planet. The various colonizers traveled to this planet on the eve of a massive worldwide war on Earth. It is most closely linked to the Hindi, Quecha, and Hungarian colonizers, which attempted to colonize several regions directly on the western edge of the current range of the language. ==Faraneit vs. Faranih vs. Faraneih== *Faran''eit'' -means only the language *Faran''ih'' -originally meant only the ethnic group, but recently colloquially came to mean the language as well *Faran''eih'' -is a colloquial term for the ethnicity ==Phonology/Orthography (in IPA)== *Consonants: /d x b f θ - ʒ k l ɭ m n p q ʀ s t v z ç/ **Romanized As: <d c b f fh h j k l lh m n p q r s t v z sc> **<h> is included to buffer vowels (as no dipthongs are permitted) and the begining and ends of words.

Verbs conjugate based on tense (remote past/imperative, near past, present, future), mood (irrealis, realis, and in archaic dialects imperative), and person (first, second, and third). Pronouns decline for person(first, second, third, and fourth), number (singular and plural), case (nominative, accusitive, genitive, and in plural forms dative/ablative), and animacy/gender( in the third person singular). For nouns the dative/ablative is formed from participles and nominative and accusitive are assumed from context and word order. *WORD ORDER Faranit is almost inflexibly VSO and morphologically mixed between agglutination (semi-dvandvas, genitive forms, and main verbal constructions) and isolation (prepositional phrasing, non-incorporation of modifiers or pronouns). Sojoah don hin. S o j oah don hin Strike PAST REAL 3P 3P.SING.ANI.NOM 1P.SING.ACC (S)He struck me. Zah sinih velheib molein. Zah s i_ n eih velh eib molein. NEG strike FUT IRR 1P 1P.PLUR.EXC PLUR 2P.PLUR.ACC We would not (go and) strike you. It remains V(S)O regardless of whether it is interrogative or even imperative. Ketejeih nor zet, haneit?

OVS order is also present, but quite rare. It is used to give the object paramount importance, to a degree often deemed unnecessary. Don boaneicotih! Don boaneic o t ih 3P.SING.ANI.ACC eat PAST IMPERATIVE 1P We should have eaten him/her! *CLAUSES All subordinate clauses are signalled with "cih". It roughly can meet the definitions of the English "that", both as a relative conjunction and a general conjunction. When a relative clause's object is the main clause's object, the verb is conjugated for the subject, as expected. Boaneicejeih nor jokeasc, ceih roajoah doan. eat.PRES.IND.2P 2P.SING.NOM butter, that have.PAST.IND.3P 3P.SING.ANI.NOM. You are eating the butter, that he had. If the subject is the same, however, the pronoun or the noun is dropped, giving: Boaneicejeih nor jokeasc, ceih roajeih. eat.PRES.IND.2P 2P.SING.NOM butter, that have.PAST.IND..2P. You are eating the butter, that had. (You are eating the butter, which you had). The verb is not conjugated, however, when the relative clause's subject for the main clause's object. Boaneicejeih nor jokeasc, ceih kej leveitom. eat.PRES.IND.2P 2P.SING.NOM butter, that be.PRES.IND_____ butter, butter. You are eating butter, that (the butter) "be" good. (You are eating butter, which is good). Because the object of the first clause was the same as the subject in the second, the second verb is not conjugated. *IF - THEN Faraneit distinguishes between two forms of "if" -- scam and scap. Scap is equivalent to questioning what the results of reality being different would be. Scam is equivalent to questioning when what is true or real is uncertain. Scap is refered to as the contradictional if, and scam, the hypothetical if. As a result of their natures, scap is used more commonly with the past or present tense, and scam, almost exclusively with the present or future. There are instances, however, where scap and scam contrast. Scap boaneicejeih dekein, feazeneih teibein. if.CON eat.PRES.REAL.1P 3P.INANI.ACC, understand.PRES.IRR.1P 3P.PLUR.ACC If I was eating it, I would understand them. OR If I (in general) ate it, I would understand them. Thus, scap is used when the person does not eat it, or is not eating it. Scam boaneicejeih dekein, feazeneih teibein. if.IRR eat.PRES.REAL.1P 3P.INANI.ACC, understand.PRES.IRR.1P 3P.PLUR.ACC If I eat it, I would/will understand them Here, scam makes the meaning generic present, as it implies that if the speaker were to grab it and then eat it, they would then understand them. In short, it doesn't contradict reality, automatically. Rather, it may become true, but at the moment, is not necessarily so. In order to say "only if" a variety of methods are possible, but the most succinct and common in the spoken language is to simply place the conjunction "jeid" prior to either scam or scap. *MODIFIERS Negatives are placed behind verbs like adverbs and other modifiers (except geographic), including subordinate clauses. An example: Boaneicojeih zah pasearean liteh hav lhaefh hev lhescealh fascejeadeis searom Eat.PAST.REAL.1P NEG REP evil 1P.SING.NOM DEM one lheascealh writing(s).3P.ANI.GEN odd I didn’t vilely repeatedly eat one of his/her odd writings from Lhescealh. Lit: Ate not repeatedly evilly I this one lhescealh writing-his/her odd Evidently, modifiers stack. The only verbal modifier that can precede the verb is a negative marker and only then in archaic emphatically negative speech. Following a noun, first come negative markers, then aspectual adverbs, then other adverbs. The noun phrase is more complex. Quantifiers and geographic modifiers always precede, while general adjectives follow. It should be noted that Faraneit does not distinguish properly between general adjectives and adverbs. If in the sample, liteh had followed fascejeadeis, even unaltered, it would have been grammatically correct, but have meant that the writing was evil. Demonstratives, almost entirely represented by lhefh, which is both pronominal and adjectival, follow a more complex pattern. When the only modifier to the noun or genitive compound is the demonstrative, it follows the noun as if it was a general adjective, however, when other adjectives are present it must precede the noun phrase entirely. Prepositional phrases follow unless in poetry or when heavily stressing that aspect. See prepositions for more. Genitives fuse to the ending of the noun. Reference the section on Morphology for more. *PREPOSITIONS DEIH = through, across DOAP = denotes action towards locatively, to FHEIS = within, inside of, between, at HIH = with, alongside HEUH = under, beneath NEIH = denotes action towards in forming dative case PIH = of, from (spacially) RAFH = under, below REAN = until REIH = above, ontop of, over SEIH = (spatially) forward, in front of, (temporally) after(wards) VEIT = denotes action from, used to form ablative forms ZEAR = denotes locative movement away from, from, yet (for past-in-future references) ZEIH = (spatially) behind, (temporally) prior/before SCEUH = with These are the only prepositions found in any dialect of Faraneit, anywhere. Several are missing from Poleiseam Faraneik. Neih and veit use the nominative, while the others use the accusative. The object of the preposition follows the preposition. Doap contrasts with neih in that it has a connotation of entrance, where as neih is more neutral and used more grammatically (to form the dative with nouns and singular pronouns). Lhomojoah doan neih doan. Dance.PAST.REAL.3P 3P.SING.NOM to 3P.SING.NOM (S)He danced to him/her. Lhomojoah doan doap don. Dance.PAST.REAL.3P 3P.SING.ACC (S)He danced towards him/her. The former implies that the dancer began dancing and did not cease until very close to the other person, while the latter implies that the direction was not necessarily chosen because of that person, nor that the dancer went the entire distance to the other person. This same contrast is found between zear and veit, as well. Hih and sceuh are also contrasted but in proximity. Hih implies only a general closeness, while sceuh specifically means in direct contact. Ketejeih hav mizeun hih keseib. Remember.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM ocean with keseih.PLUR I remember the ocean near the Keseib (settlements). Ketejeih hav mizeun sceuh measceineafh. Remember.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM ocean with Measceineafh. I remember the ocean beside Measceineafh. The first implies that the settlements are close to, but not directly along the shoreline, while the second implies the two share a thin border. It is similar to the distinction between “next to” and “right next to” in English, in that it only distinguishes degree. Adjectival prepositional phrases follow the noun phrase they describe. Fronting is not unheard of but is seen as giving unnecessary weight to the phrase. The adverbial prepositions, however, can only follow the verb, but if demoted in meaning, can also follow the subject and even the object. Generally they follow the verb and general adverbs. *CONJUNCTIONS TEIH = for, because, so that (causative) VOAP = as, while, at the same time as HEFH = yet, either/or JEID = but, neither/nor VIR = and, as well Each of these can link clauses and phrases, with the exception of vir, which only links clauses. Zelejeih hav hab teih boaneicejeih. Steal.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM thing.PLUR so eat.PRES.REAL.1P I steal so that I (can) eat. Zelejeih hav voap boaneicejeih. Steal.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM while eat.PRES.REAL.1P I pickpocket while I eat. Zelejeih hav hefh boaneicejeih. Steal.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM yet eat.PRES.REAL.1P I pickpocket yet/but (I) eat. Zelejeih hav jeid boaneicejeih. Steal.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM but eat.PRES.REAL.1P I pickpocket yet/but (I) eat. (Hefh and jeid are used somewhat interchangeable, but hefh is used to suggest a stronger interference from the first/main clause with the action of the first, while jeid suggests simply that it is unexpected or unusual that the two interact as stated.) Zelejeih hav vir boanicejeih. Steal.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM and eat.PRES.REAL.1P I pickpocket and (I) eat. Additionally, jeid and hefh reduplicate to produce secondary meanings. Boaneicijeih hav hefh hacaz hefh tealhom. Eat.FUT.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM PREP meat PREP fruit I will eat either meat or fruits. Boaneicijeih hav jeid hefh hacaz hefh tealhom. Eat.FUT.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM PREP meat PREP fruits. I will eat neither meat nor fruits. When the two combine, however, the message complicates. Boaneicijeih hav hefh hacaz jeid tealhom. Eat.FUT.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM PREP meat PREP fruit I will eat (likely) meat but not fruits. Boaneicijeih hav jeid hacaz hefh tealhom. Eat.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM PREP meat PREP fruit I will eat not meat but (likely) fruits. *QUESTION FORMATION A global rise is used to indicate a question. Frequently questions are viewed as more polite if posed in the irrealis. Insertion of zeihein (if the assumed answer is no) or haneit (if the assumed answer is yes) is used to form leading yes-no interrogative clauses. Kuroajih hav dekein neih mokein, haneit? give.PAST.IND.1P I.NOM it.ACC DAT you.SING.ACC, correct? I gave it to you, right? Kuroajeih nor dekein neih hav, zeihein? give.PAST.IND.2P you.SING.NOM it.ACC DAT me.NOM, incorrect? You gave it to me, or not? Open ended interrogative sentences are formed by substituting an interrogative pronoun for the subject of object. Interrogative pronouns have lost their accusative counterparts and therefore rely on a strict adherence to word order to differentiate: Neuscoajeih nor nakir? use.PAST.IND.2P you.SING.NOM which/what(.ACC)? You used which? Doapoajoah nakir lhefh? cause.PAST.IND.2P which/what(.NOM) thus/this? What caused this? *IMPERATIVES Imperatives are formed similarly to many Indo-European languages with the omission of the subject. Karoteijeih dakein do.FUT.IND.2P it.ACC (Go) do it Faranit, however, accepts third person imperatives as forceful suggestions (as opposed to irrealis imperatives). Karoteijoah dakein do.FUT.IND.3P it.ACC (He must go) do it To create more gentle commands or suggestions, the imperative, in the irrealis mood, is also used. Karoteineih dakein do.FUT.SUBJ.2P it.ACC (You should go) do it This is also capably used in the third person. Karoteinoah dakein do.FUT.SUBJ.3P it.ACC (He should go) do it A few archaic dialects (along the western chapparel) retain an imperative mood where the subject can be omitted if so desired. The mood's infix is -d- and is regularly conjugated. Karoteidoah doan dakein = karoteidoah dakein do.FUT.IMP.3P 3P.SING.ANI.NOM 3P.SING.INANI.ACC = do.FUT.IMP.3P 3P.SING.INANI.ACC He (must go) do it = (He must go) do it *AGREEMENT IN COMPOUND PREDICATES Another strange usage is that infinitives decline for tense and mood when a part of the predicate. For example- Feuzeijihav haleij faraneit boascom learn.FUT.IND.1P.1P.SING speak.FUT.IND faranit proper I will learn to speak (future) proper faranit and also- Feuzoanihav haloan faraneit boascom learn.PAST.SUBJ.1P.1P.SING speak.PAST.SUBJ faranit proper I may have learned to (irrealis) have spoken (past) proper faranit. whereas- Feuzeijoahav halej faraneit boascom learn.PAST.IND.1P.1P.SING speak.PRES.IND proper faranit I learned to speak (and have continued to) proper faranit. or Feuzeijoahav haleij faraneit boascom learn.PAST.IND.1P.1P.SING speak.FUT.IND faranit proper I learned to speak (and will continue to) proper faranit. This is often used as a method to signify progressive past tenses, which either continue from the distant past (-eu-) to the recent past (-o-), either past to the present (-e-), or any non-future tense and the future (-i-). *COMPARISONS WITH REJ While comparisons can be constructed with either kej (to be) or rej (to have/to hold/to contain), rej is vastly preferred in speech and colloquial writing, but as a result, two very different systems of comparison are used contemporanously (at least in Standard Lescealh Faraneit, local dialects often no longer use one or the other). A fundamental distinction is drawn between comparisons of equals, approximate equals, and inequals. For example: Rejoah dekein (don) tebineareiz. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI-NOM (same) size.GEN.3P-PLUR It's a large as they are. Here, they are considered equals and a genitive construction is used. Rejoah dekein don tebin neih tip. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI-NOM same size DAT 3P-PLUR-NOM It's about as large as they are. Rejoah dekein cabah tebin neih tip. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI-NOM approximate size DAT 3P-PLUR-NOM It's approximately as large as they are. In these two instances, however, a dative construction is used to imply that they are rough equals, not absolute ones. Rejoah dekein sein tebin voap tip. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI-NOM more size while 3P-PLUR-NOM It's bigger than they are. Rejoah dekein fhean tebin voap tip. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI-NOM less size while 3P-PLUR-NOM It's smaller than they are. Here a contracted form of a second clause is used for unequals. The entire clause in full is- Rejoah dekein sein tebin voap rejoah tip fhean tebin. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI-NOM more size while have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-PLUR-NOM less size. It's bigger while they are smaller. More complex comparatives continue with rej, but usually invoke the verb beasceitej (to finish, to complete). For example: Rejoah dekein her tebineabeasceitej. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI-NOM good size.GEN.finish.PRES.REAL It's big enough (for something//to do something...) Rejoah dekein reih tebineabeasceitejeaboaneicej. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-S-INANI over size.GEN.finish.PRES.REAL.GEN.eat.PRES.REAL It's too big to eat. (lit It has over the size of finishing eating.) Zah rejeih haceabeasceitejeafeazej. NEG have.PRES.REAL.1P year(s).GEN.finish.PRES.REAL.GEN.writing.PRES.REAL I'm too young to write. (lit I don't have the years of finishing writing.) When the complement involves finishing as its main verb, the verb is merely used again, outside of it's auxilary-like purpose: Zah rejeih haceabeasceitejeabeasceitejeafeuzej. NEG have.PRES.REAL.1P year(s).GEN.finish.PRES.REAL.GEN.finish.PRES.REAL.GEN.study.PRES.REAL I'm too young to be finished studying/learning. *OTHER COMPARATIVES These essentially follow the rej-form comparatives in structure. For example: Boaneicejeih tebineafheimeapejeaheaz. eat.PRES.REAL.1P size.GEN.harvest.PRES.REAL.GEN.1P-S-GEN I eat as much (stuff) as I harvest. Boaneicejeih tebin neih fheimeapejeaheaz. eat.PRES.REAL.1P size DAT harvest.PRES.REAL.GEN.1P-S-GEN I eat about as much (stuff) as I harvest. Boaneicejeih fhean tebin voap fheimeapejeaheaz. eat.PRES.REAL.1P less size while harvest.PRES.REAL.GEN.1P-S-GEN I eat less than how much I harvest. *KEJ The only irregular verb is kej, meaning to be. It derives from k meaning to exist and as such has mutated from a regular past to a highly cliticized present. Standard Lescealh dialects attached the pronoun to the regular ending. For example: Kejihav letein be.PRES.REAL.1P.SING happy (I) am happy The pronoun, hav, has been absorbed into the verb, due to the erosion of the /ʔ.ʔ/ into /ʔ/ in this frequently written and spoken situation. This has been observed as being replicated in a few “regular” verbs through out colloquial Southwestern Lescealh registers. Standard dialects similarly shorten third person singulars: Kejoam scot be.PRES.REAL.3P.SING.INANI white (It) is white as well as Kejoan faranih be.PRES.REAL.3P.SING.ANI faranih ((S)He) is Faranih The first is often used similarly to "il y a" in French, with the second mirroring the English "he's" and "she's". These colloquial examples further the evidence that Faranit is in the process of a linguistic shift. It is incorporating the pronoun into the verb, eroding it into the verb ending. Within Orthodox Lescealh Faraneit, all singular forms have been shortened into new, irregular forms. See [[Faraneit Dialectical Slang]] for more information. *GENDER AND CLITICS The animacy distinction is quite flexible and can be used to denote various aspects of the speakers perception. A popular example is the difference between, Kejoam, hamet, heilein be.PRES.3P.INANI (blaze) short and Kejoan joaj, hamet, heilein be.PRES.3P.ANI presently (blaze) short The use of the inanimate in the first stresses the static state of the fire as well as its theoretically harmless appearance. On the other hand, the animate gender and the use of the adverb joaj, presently, suggests a danger posed from the fire from its independent movement, in addition to the threat posed from a change in state. This is conventional usage with common objects that do not conform to the distinction, that inanimate objects are static and still, while animate objects are changing and move independently. Religious beliefs also enter the equation. A Hakeih, and many other smaller sects always use animate pronouns nearly universally with animals, especially livestock. The Hakeih and the Harapah use animate pronouns with animals on an irregular basis, only when praising or sacrificing usually. The Polizeih, on the other hand, have merged the inanimate to a new level, using it commonly for insults and often to degrade women, however, this is more of an anthropological and ideological distinction than a linguistic one. *COMPARATIVES WITH KEJ These are much less interesting than the comparatives with rej, as they follow a uniform pattern: Kejoam sein tebin ceih tip. be.PRES.REAL.3P.INANI more large REL 3P-PLUR-NOM It's bigger than they (are). Obviously, the verb goes first. Then the subject (if it isn't clicitized or omitted). Then the descriptor (fhean - less, sein - more, don - as, etc). Then the modifier (in this case tebin, but meaning the adjective form, not the noun form - more on this later). Then the relative conjunction ceih. Then the compared body (tip in this case). The relative clause is optional, if understood. Tebin, in some ways, is a bad example as it can function both as a noun (meaning size) and a modifier (meaning large), and therefore the same form is used for both kej and rej, while usually they use different forms. For example: Kejoam sein fheirom cieh tip. be.PRES.REAL.3P.INANI more tall REL 3P-PLUR-NOM It's taller than they (are). (lit It's more tall than they) Rejoah dekein sein fheireat voap tip. have.PRES.REAL.3P 3P-INANI-NOM more height while 3P-PLUR-NOM It's taller than they (are). (lit It has more height while they (don't)) ==Morphology== Various examples of agglutination abound, including the syntax of possessives and listings. poareasceaheaz poareasc-ea-heaz city-GEN-1P.SING my city poareasceaheazeib poareasc-ea-heaz-eib city-GEN-1P.SING-PLUR my cities poareasceavoazeis poareasc-ea-voazeis city-GEN-1P.PLUR our city This is also true for more general possessives. poareasceaheusc poareasc-ea-heusc city-GEN-man (the) man's city poareasceaheusceib poareasc-ea-heusc-eib city-GEN-man-PLUR (the) man’s cities To make the possessed antecedent plural, however, demonstratives are inserted. lhev poareasceaheusc lhev poareasc-ea-heusc DEM.PLUR city-GEN-man (the) men’s city lhev poareasceaheusceib lhev poareasc-ea-heusc-eib DEM.PLUR city-GEN-man-PLUR (the) men’s cities To emphasis the possesion, the corresponding nominative pronoun is placed before the possessed noun in addition. doan poareasceadeis doan poareasc-ea-deis (s)he city-GEN-3P.SING.ANI his city For more information see [[Faraneit Genitive Constructions]], which covers the differences between various dialects in greater detail. A similar construction is used for forming lists. (Technically this is a dvandva) Halejih hav faraneit-ei-teimeirih speak.PRES.REAL.1P 1P.SING.NOM faranit-CLITIC-etimri I speak faranit (and) etimri Geographic modifiers (ex. English, Chinese, Australian) are formed from contextual placement. General form is to superimpose the place name before the noun to be modified. For example: Polisah Fasir! The Poliseam Alphabet! literally: Polisah Alphabet! The Poelisem dialect avoids this and has created a new class of adjectives in response. Place names terminal vowels are deleted and the ending –eam is attached. Poliseam Fasir! The Poliseam Alphabet! ==Slang== Slang has become prolific as in some dialects, particularly the re-irregularization of the verb "kej" which was always highly volatile in the Faraneit language, as it unnaturally was regularized during the colonization of Lescealh. The highly isolated surroundings and the extreme social pressures are believed by some theorists to be significant contributors to this bizarre regularization campaign. In the diverging dialects currently there are several varying descrepancies plaguing "kej." In Poleiseam Faraneik, only largely grammatical changes have occured around "kej" as it is commonly in short hand not used with a pronoun, as person (but not number) is noted on the "proper" forms of the verb. In both Orthodox Lescealh Faraneit, as well as the increasingly common Kupeimeiceah trader dialects, there are several more unusual contractions in speech. For example, Formal Standard Faraneit: Kejih hav. Colloquial Standard Faraneit: Kejihav. Orthodox Laescelh Faraneit and trade dialects: Kav. English: I am. As listed above in Syntax, there are other standard colloquial contractions. In addition, however, OLF and the trader dialects have even shorter forms, particularly: FSF: Kejoah doan. CSF: Kejoan. OLF and trader dialects: Koan. English: (S)He is. as well as, FSF: Kejeih nor. CSF: Kejeih nor. OLF and trader dialects: Keur. English: Thou art. In these dialects, as well, the Poleiseam practice of often dropping unabsorbed pronouns is increasingly common, especially for froms that lack current contractions, which may or may not be invented later by speakers. The Southwestern Lescealh Faraneit dialect on the other hand omits the infixes denoting present tense and indicative mood for kej (and increasingly other verbs) when not needed for clarity. Such that: FSF: Kejih hav SLF: Kih hav English: I am The omission of the present tense, indicative mood, and person markers (depending on various factors) has also become common with regular verbs in SLF, CSF, and OLF. For more detail see [[Faraneit Dialectical Slang]]. ==Stress and Pitch== Stress usually falls on the first syllable: HAN-ak-ealh-ein heaven Deviations, however, are not difficult to find: fhean-OT field(s) The Stress-Pitch system is very simplistic. Stressed accents have high pitch, while all others have low pitch. fhean-OT LH HAN-ak-ealh-ein HLLL When the onset of a stressed syllable, /b d/ are fortis like unvoiced stops, but remain voiced. Similarly, when the onset of an unstressed syllable, the voiceless stops are lenis like voiced stops, but remain voiceless. /a/ is realized as slightly raised, nearly to /ɒ/ when unstressed. In the Southeastern Lescealh Faraneit Dialect, /e o/ are realized as long when stressed. This is one of its more conservative features. ==Voice== Passive voice is nonexistent, aside from the use of ''kej'', to be, as a descriptor. This results in dependence on ''teareipeas'' the genderless, numberless fourth person, when the subject is unknown. Reflexive is formed from the accusitive form of the appropriate pronoun. ==Conjugation== Root + E(present)/EI(future)/OA(recent past)/EU(distant past) + J(indicative)/N(conditional/subjunctive) + IH(1p)/EIH(2p)/OAH(3p and 4p) Classical Faraneit has no remaining unbound verbal roots, as the tense and mood markers became mandatory on even verbal nouns and gerund-like constructions. Faraneit is known for having few irregular verbs, which can be found in a separate article: [[Irregular Verbs in Faraneit]]. ==Dialects== The largest distinction is present between Lescealh Faraneit and Poleiseam Faraneik (the version of Faraneit supplanted into southern Malaba). Poleiseam Faraneik replaces the she/he-it pronoun system with a he-she/it organization, although this is more exemplary of their philosophical views on women. The most obvious difference, however, is the shift of all terminal /t/ becoming /k/. This did not affect internal or initial stops. For example: ''Fhenot'' (Lescealh Faraneit) --> ''Fhenok'' (Poleiseam Faraneik) There was a second sound change, in additon: a vowel chain shift set off by a small change originally. /ʊ/ shifted to /u/, because /u/ had become /y/. This prompted /o/ to become the parallel /ø/, while /ɔ/ shifted upward to fill the hole left by the disappearance of /o/ Additionally the consonant /ʃ/ shifted initially to where /ç/ had existed before, completing a process slowly occuring within Lescealh Faraneit. Poleiseam Faraneik changed grammatically aswell. The superimposing system in Lescealh Faraneit was replaced by a specialized modifier ending attached to the place name. Instead of the convention adjective endings of -om, -ean, or -ein, Poleiseam Faraneik created a special marker of -eam for geographic modifiers (derived from ''heam'' meaning village or town). Poleiseam Faraneik maintained the unorthodox position of the adjective, nonetheless. For example: In Lescealh they speak Lescealh Faraneit. In Poleis'''ah''' they speak Poleis'''eam''' Faranik. Another common feature of Poleiseam Faraneik is the merger of /l ɭ/ terminally, where both are analyzed as [ɬ]. A distinction is made, however, between Orthodox Lescealh Faraneit and Southeastern Lescealh Faraneit. Orthodox Lescealh Faraneit reduces /ʊ/ to [ə] in many positions, and compounds various endings. When a stop is followed by a "weak" vowel (/ɛ ɪ ɔ ʊ/) and then a terminal fricative, the entire ending is realized as a voicless affricate positioned to the location of the stop. Southeastern Lescealh Faraneit also realizes V/ni/X as V/ɲɪ/X or terminally V/ni#/ as V/ɲ/. Furthermore all [ʃ ʒ] are realized as [s z]. ==History and Culture== The Faraneih culture is beleived to have arisen circa 1500 AC (after colonization), when a variety of refugees from the final collapse of the Temenucha civilization (derived from both Hindi and Quecha speakers) moved southward across the ''Kupeimeiceah'' desert and into the "mediterranean" coastal plain and absorbed into the colonizers from the collapsed Guscek colony of Hungarians, who had relocated to from the southern plains. The cultures creolized to some degree and expanded as far south as the Trovog peninsula (''Teimeareitah'' in Faraneit). The extinction of the indigenous, omnivore reptoids left the cavernous, food producing, hollow trunks of the ''puzil'' trees available, leading to their adoption as an emergency shelter (not large enough for more than three children, unfortunately), food source (edible roots available from the hollow area), wood, and companion to a variety of edible and medicinal mosses. By 2000 AC this arangement had given way to fullscale horticulture. The subsequent increase in population pushed the excess out of ''measceineafh'' (the forest of the mediterranean coastal plain) and east to the ''Lescealh'', the hilly region seperating the humid subtropical savannahs-grasslands and mediterranean coastal chapparel. The region was largely uninhabited because its western border was the driest area of the chapparel and its northern and eastern border was outside of the main path of the monsoons, which passed over the grassland, leaving little rainfall, until unloading on Lescealh, because of its slightly higher elevation. The hills also contained a valuable domesticate: Amaranth. Amaranth had feralized after colonization, allowing it to develope into a naturalized and highly productive grain. After arriving around 3000 AC a small scale agricultural package was created circa 3100 by combining Amaranth (aka ''fheaqut'') and ''puzil'' and gathering various fruits and vegetables. By 3500 AC ''nopav'', a leafy vegetable, ''voanabeap'', a fiber crop, ''leirodeaz'', a melon, had been domesticated along with several more localized crops and goats had been introduced from the east. By 4000 AC the wheel was developed and ''Heideiveiz'', a spice, was introduced. From 4300 AC onwards, the Faranih dominated trade between the Southeastern Cang-ur, Northeastern Malaba, and the Southeastern [[Etimri]]. Circa 4600 AC, the ''Polizeih'', a militant fringe religious group, invaded southern Malaba and attempted to create a sacred theocratic nation, ''Poleisah'', there under their rule. The ''Polizeih'' radicals steadily drifted to even more radical ideals, until circa 4650 AC declaring their patron god, ''Poleasc'', the only true god and began actively persecuting polytheists and in 4700 threatening the Faranih heartland, ''Lescealh'', which had remained polytheistic, with invasion. In response the most populous and productive region dominated by the ''Hakeih'', devotees to ''Hakenah'', the water goddess, banned together under the leadership of the militaristic ''Heireih'', devotees to ''Heirealanah'', goddess of vengence and storms. This new and successful relationship became the ''Harapah''. Unfortunately this system proved no more noble than ''Poleisah'' and was fraught with internal corruption and a hierarchy supported by ruthless oppression of political opponents. A later ''Polizeih'' invasion (circa 4750) was more successful and managed to install the ''Polizeih'' in power in several non-''Harapah'' areas. The ballad of ''Lhealeateh'', the ''Lhealeatimen'', is the story of the driving of these occupying forces out of the city of ''Heajaz'' and the establishment of the ''Heajazareifh'' (circa 4760), a sacred state surrounding ''Heajaz'', which denied access to certain groups as an official, very public form of disapproval. Historically, both the ''Harapah'' and the ''Polizeih'' have been denied entrance. After the invasion of ''Heajaz'' by the ''Harapah'' circa 4780, the predominately ''Hameadeih'', ''Healeasceih'', and ''Leaveazeih'' inhabitants relocated to the semi-arid mountains in the north-central ''Kupeimeiceah'' desert and founded ''Heajarein'', meaning new ''Heajaz''. After conquering the ''Heajareifh'' and other minor states in ''Lescealh'', the ''Harapah'' began to solidify its base by combining many aspects of the ''Hakeih'' and ''Heireih'' sects. Although generally successful, the merge drove many devout followers of both to radical extremism, seperatism, and in some cases warfare. The internal divisions quickly healed with the expulsion of the ''Hakeih'' seperatists into distant Etimri areas and the self-propelled relocation of the ''Heireih'' radicals into traditional Cang-Ur lands. In reality, however, this only exported the troubles elsewhere, particularly into the western Cang-Ur tribal regions, which were heavily depopulated of the indigenous inhabitants by the ''Heireih'' settlers. That conquered region mirrored the developement of ''Poleisah'', the ''Polizeih'' stronghold in southern Malaba, especially in it's eventual dissolution into utter theocracy. The overlying societal stresses augmented the already dangerous deforestation in the region, which ultimately lead to a devestating collapse into anarchy and mass exodus into the eastern shrub, into which an estimated three million emigrated, only to succumb to starvation (circa 4950 AC). By 7500 AC, ecological causes, particularly deforestation, led to significant declines in both the strongholds of the ''Harapah'' and ''Polizeih''. Within the previous four hundred years, Malaban rebels would reconquer ''Poleisah'' and the ''Harapah'' empire would have splintered into thousands of independent city-states in a state of incessant warfare.

English translations are given for the unit names == Modern Standard System == === Time === Time is, as on Earth, based on divisions of the day. The [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhafan]] day is 25 hours, 26 minutes, and 55 seconds in Earth time. *1 Day = 60 Daymins - 25 hr 26m 55s *1 Daymin = 60 Daysecs - 25 min 26.915 sec ({{frac|1|60}} day) *1 Daysec = 60 Daytrices - 25.449 sec ({{frac|1|3600}} day) *1 Daytrice = .42414 seconds ({{frac|1|216000}} day) Historically, there was a unit, the "hour", equal to {{frac|1|12}} day, or 5 daymins. That unit has fallen out of usage, however. The day is traditionally also divided into 4 ''quarters'' of 15 daymins each (historically, the quarters were defined as sunrise-noon, noon-sunset, sunset-midnight, midnight-sunrise, but are now simply equal divisions of the day). The day begins at Daymin 1, which begins 15 daymins after mean midnight (thus, averaging at dawn). Daymins are counted from 1-60 while daysecs and daytrices are counted from 0-59 (1:00:00 is the beginning of the day, 60:59:59 is the end) === Distance === The basic unit of length is the ''fathom'', which was originally defined as twice the distance an object falls in 1 daytrice on [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]] (specifically, at sea level at 45­° N latitude, in a vacuum). This makes it approximately 170 cm or 5'7" (hence, the gravitational acceleration on Galhaf is exactly 1 fathom per daytrice²). Today, it is defined in terms of the speed of light. Not all units are in common use in modern times. Bolded units are common use *1 '''(Great) League''' = 5 Small Leagues = 12.2193 km (7.59275 mi) *1 Small League = 12 Furlongs = 2.44387 km (1.51855 mi) *1 '''Furlong''' = 120 Fathoms = 203.656 m (668.162 ft) *1 '''Fathom''' = 4 Cubits = 169.713 cm (5'6.8162") *1 Cubit = 6 Hands = 42.4283 cm (16.7040") *1 '''Hand''' = 4 Fingers = 7.07138 cm (2.78401") *1 Finger = 3 Grains = 1.76784 cm (.696001") *1 '''Grain''' = 5.892813 mm (.232000") Simplified to commonly used units *1 League = 60 Furlongs = 7,200 Fathoms = 172,800 Hands = 2,073,600 Grains *1 Furlong = 120 Fathoms = 2,880 Hands = 34,560 Grains *1 Fathom = 24 Hands = 288 Grains *1 Hand = 12 Grains === Area === In modern times, area is commonly measured in terms of length, e.g., square fathom, square league, etc. Several traditional units remain in common use, however. ==== Land Area ==== *Secondland - {{frac|1|60}} of a minuteland, thus {{frac|1|900}} square furlongs or 16 square fathoms (46.0842 m<sup>2</sup>, 496.046 ft<sup>2</sup>) *'''Minuteland''' - {{frac|1|60}} of a houseland (see below), thus {{frac|1|15}} square furlong or 960 square fathoms (2,765.05 m<sup>2</sup>, .683259 acres, 29,762.8 ft<sup>2</sup>) *'''Houseland''' - Traditionally, the area required to support a single household. Standardized as 4 square furlongs ({{frac|1|900}} square league; 16.5903 ha, 40.9955 acres) *Warland - 6 Houselands; traditionally the area of land expected to produce 1 soldier in time of war (99.5418 ha, 245.973 acres) *Shipland - 150 Houselands ({{frac|1|4}} square league; 24.8855 km<sup>2</sup>, 9.60833 mi<sup>2</sup>; traditionally, the area that would produce 1 warship in time of war Minuteland remains common for measuring property, with houseland used for large properties. Warland and shipland are largely obsolete. Secondland is sometimes used for small areas, such as gardens, although square fathoms have become more common in recent times. ==== Buildings ==== The square fathom (2.88025 m<sup>2</sup>, 31.0028 ft<sup>2</sup>) is becoming increasingly common for measuring the area of buildings and rooms. ''Panels'' were traditionally used for rooms. A ''panel'' was historically defined as 1 fathom by 1 cubit (4 square cubits or {{frac|1|4}} square fathom; .720063 m<sup>2</sup>, 7.75069 ft<sup>2</sup>). These are still sometimes found. === Volume === The basic unit of volume is the ''barrel'' equal to one cubic ''cubit'' (76.3778 L or 20.1769 gal). As in length, not all units are in common use. *1 Cubic fathom = 8 Octets = 4,888.18 L (1,291.32 gal) (cube 1 fathom on a side) *1 '''Octet''' = 8 Barrels = 611.022 L (161.415 gal) (cube 2 cubits on a side) *1 '''Barrel''' = 8 Jars = 76.3778 L (20.1769 gal) (1 cubit cubed) *1 Jar = 8 Sesters = 9.54722 L (10.0884 qt) (3 hands cubed) *1 '''Sester''' = 8 Gills = 1.19340 L (40.3537 oz) (6 fingers cubed) *1 '''Gill''' = 27 Spoons = 149.175 mL (5.04422 oz) (3 fingers cubed) *1 '''Spoon''' = 5.52501 mL (1.12094 tsp) (1 cubic finger) Simplified *1 Octet = 8 Barrels = 512 Sesters = 4,096 Gills = 110,592 Spoons *1 Barrel = 64 Sesters = 512 Gills = 13,824 Spoons *1 Sester = 8 Gills = 216 Spoons *1 Gill = 27 Spoons Sesters and gills are the most common units for most purposes, with spoons used for small quantities. Octets tend to be used for measuring very large quantities of liquids, such as production of a brewery or dairy, or volume of a pool, or gas sold at a gas station. Barrels are common for medium quantities, such as water bills. Cubic fathom is common in scientific settings for measuring large quantities. It's also used for such purposes as measuring oil reserves and the like. === Mass === The basic unit of mass is the ''Talent'', equal to the mass of one barrel of water (76.3778 kg or 168.384 lb) *1 '''Talent''' = 8 Octals = 76.3778 kg (168.384 lb) *1 '''Octal''' = 12 Pounds = 9.54723 kg (21.0480 lb) *1 '''Pound''' = 12 Ounces = 795.602 g (28.0640 oz) *1 '''Ounce''' = 12 Spoon-weight = 66.3002 g (2.33867 oz) *1 Spoon-weight = 12 Bits = 5.52501 g (85.2640 grains) *1 Bit = 25 (International) Grains = 460.418 mg (7.10533 grains) *1 '''(International) Grain''' = 18.4167 mg (.284213 grains) Simplified *1 Talent = 8 Octals = 96 Pounds = 1,152 Ounces = 4,147,200 Grains *1 Octal = 12 Pounds = 144 Ounces = 518,400 Grains *1 Pound = 12 Ounces = 43,200 Grains *1 Ounce = 3600 Grains Human weights are commonly measured in octals and quarters of an octal, e.g., one might give a weight as being "6¾ octals", that is around 64 kg, 140 lb Note: the International Grain is approximately 1.094 [[#Northern Traders' Standard Weights|Traditional Grains]]. === Temperature === The freezing point of water is 12° while the boiling point is 48°. 12° is equivalent to 0°C/32°F, while the boiling point at standard Galhafan atmospheric pressure is 108ºC/226.4°F, making the gradation equal to 3 C° or 5.4 F° == Some Archaic Systems == === Eastern Traders' Standard Weights === This system used as its basis the weight of a cube of silver 1 (archaic) finger to a side. This old Finger was slightly larger than the modern Finger, approximately 1.79 cm (4.56"). This standard weight, called a Traders' Unit, was equal to 60.59 g (2.14 oz). It was mostly used for measuring the mass of silver coins. Most of the states of the Eastern Region adjusted their coins' weights to be even fractions of the ''pound'' *1 Talent = 60 pounds *1 Pound = 12 Traders' Units = 727.1 g (1.603 lb) *1 Traders' Unit = 60 Big Grains = 60.59 g (2.137 oz) *1 Big Grain = 60 Little Grains = 1.010 g (15.58 grains) *1 Little Grain = 16.83 mg (.2597 grains) [[Category:Galhaf]] [[Category:Systems of Measurement]] Senjecan

Panchakahq. 2) I like what you've done to Kilda Kelen so far. 3) I commented on Yahoo! groups "aboriconlangs" and "eastasianconlangs". 4) You ought to post an announcement on Yahoo! group "frathwiki" as well. 5) IMO you should consider joining Yahoo! group "altaica", at least to lurk; and consider posting an announcement there. 6) Have you considered cross-referencing Kilda Kelen in the Conlang Wikia? 7) I'm looking forward to your "Kinship Terms". Why not just look up some R.L. ones in the Wikipedia, see how it's done, and then do it more-or-less that way here on Frathwiki? Then tell the Yahoo! groups what URL to look at. Worry _later_ about how to e-mail the kinterm-system itself to a Yahoo! group afterward. 8) If "this wasn't as hard as you expected", that encourages me to attempt further progress on Adpihi and/or Reptigan. So I'm _really_ looking forward to the kinterms. ----- eldin ================================================= Hi, Eldin -- Thanks very much for all the positive feedback, encouragement, and ideas! - I'm really reluctant to join yet more email lists, when so few have any activity, and when in turn so little of that activity is of much quality. And the "altaica" list (and its cousins and predecessors) has enough cranks without adding conlanging to the mix, IMO -- I'd like to see some forums with some serious, non-wingnut Altaistics discussion ;( - Good idea about cross-listing or linking in other conlangy wikis; I just don't know which ones are actually lively and trafficked, and keep thinking I'm going to get more material together to post and *then* I'll work on linking and so forth! - I didn't know that Wikipedia proper has a format set up for presenting kin terms or systems; I'll check that out for sure -- it could save me a lot of headache. - Looking forward to reading more about Adpihi & Reptigan, myself, in whatever location! == Aren't participles verbal ''adjectives''? == Aren't participles verbal ''adjectives''? (Though not necessarily all verbal adjectives are participles, FAIK.) Converbs are usually considered equivalent to gerunds (and vice versa). Normally the "most important" (whatever that means) verbal noun is called "the (or an) ''infinitive''" IIUC; and other verbal nouns are usually called "''gerunds''". If you've got one (or more) important non-finite form(s) of your verbs which is a verbal noun, and distinguish them from gerunds, shouldn't you call (one of) them "infinitives" (especially if in your opinion it's "more important" than the "gerunds") instead of "participles"? (Other names for verbal nouns include "masdars", "supines", and "verbnouns".) ----- If your 'lang allows using adjectives as nouns, then you may be able (and probably are able) to use participles as nouns, too. In that case your active participle could be used as your agent-nominalization and your passive participle could be used as your passive-nominalization. What do you think? (And incidentally I like your most recent update. Naturally people talk more about what they think you should change than what they think you got just perfect the first try; and I'm a "people", so I do that too.) [[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 16:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC) === Response to Eldin's 16 May 08 comments === First, no worries about the nature of your comments; actually I'd much prefer the "what you should change/why did you do it like THAT???" feedback than the "OMG thats liek so cool" kind :) So, thank you very much! "Adjective" just is a pretty vague and marginally useful category, as Neo-Khitanese parts-of-speech go, so it didn't occur to me to describe these things as "verbal *adjectives*" instead of as nouns/nominals. It's more a matter of "my lang allows using nouns as adjectives" than vice versa -- and, for that matter, there's not really a distinction between "the active participle" and "the passive participle" as such. I'm honestly not familiar with the term "verbal adjective" in general linguistic literature, but from that position of ignorance, I can't see any reason to prefer "verbal adjective" over "verbal noun" here. And, frankly, a factor in using "participle" was simply to mimic the terminology used by other (English-language, at least) writers on Mongol/Tungusic languages. I'm well aware it's not pukka terminology, but I sacrificed descriptive perfection to try to simulate real-world documentation of a real-world language :) Though I modernized a *little* bit, and used "converb" instead of "gerund" to distinguish the non-nounish/adjectivish, non-finite verbal forms. I'm reluctant to use the term infinitive, except in scare quotes, because I don't think there's a really good match between any of the NK candidates and other languages' "infinitives". Maybe the "Purposive Converbs"... but I just can't see much advantage in slapping such a vague label on them. ==== Response to response; recommend "supine", recommend against "converb", but your reasons sufficient. ==== "to mimic the terminology used by other (English-language, at least) writers on Mongol/Tungusic languages" is a perfectly sufficient reason to do as you have done. And so is "to simulate real-world documentation of a real-world language". Not all languages have "adjectives" as a separate open class. Many languages use verbs where other languages would use adjectives; many languages use nouns where other languages would use adjectives. It appears NK is one of the latter? ("Polysynthetic" languages seem particularly prone to do without adjectives, I have read.) Anyway, I've also read objections to distinguishing adjectives from nouns, that say they should really be "adjective nouns" vs "substantive nouns". : ''You make a good point here, and I think a lot of the confusion you’re detecting is simply a result of my throwing out snippets onto a webpage without all the context. In my grammatical materials on NK, what I actually use is the term “nominal”, to cover both of “adjective nouns” and “substantive nouns”. “Words that modify nouns” in NK are for the most part either nominals or “verbal nouns/participles”; there’s only a very small residual class of words that could really be called adjectives and aren’t either nominals or verbal derivations. (“Big”, “little”, etc.) NK isn’t polysynthetic, at least not in the senses of the term I’m familiar with – certainly no more so than Turkish or Japanese. -- K.'' :: I thought that might be, and it does indeed explain everything. There are languages with a small closed class of "adjectives" (some people don't like to call a class "adjectives" unless it's an open class, but they modify nouns, aren't nouns, and aren't verbs). It looks like NK is one of them? Do you have a list of these "adjectives" somewhere? How many are there? About a dozen, maybe? Or about as many as English has adpositions or as Korean has light verbs? It would be interesting to know. --[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 17:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC) The difference, if there is one, is that adjectives modify noun-phrases. Many languages have a case for most of their nouns which is adnominal rather than adverbial; the noun in that case is used to modify another noun or noun-phrase, rather than a verb or a clause or some other multi-word constituent than a noun-phrase. The genitive is probably the most popular name for such a case. So "allowing nouns to be used as adjectives" is also a pretty popular strategy cross-linguistically, even among languages which do distinguish between nouns and adjectives. If X is a part of speech, a "verbal X" is an X derived from a verb which still has some of the properties of a verb; for instance, maybe it's able to take an object. "Verbal nouns" are nouns derived from verbs which still act somewhat like verbs; "verbal adjectives" are adjectives derived from verbs which still act somewhat like verbs. (In a parallel sense there can be adjectival adverbs, adjectival nouns, adjectival verbs, adverbal adjectives, adverbal nouns, adverbal verbs, nominal adjectives, nominal adverbs, nominal verbs, verbal adverbs. Some of those won't be very big or very interesting or very common.) One of the distinctions is between the "verbal adj" and the "deverbal adj"; a "deverbal adj" is also derived from a verb, but may have no verb-like properties. Similarly a "deverbal noun" is a noun derived from a verb, but need not have any verb-like properties. Participles are usually considered verbal adjectives; they are the only kind of verbal adjective ''of which I am aware'' that frequently occur cross-linguistically. It is a personal conceit of mine that the category of participle should be based on the meaning "the modified noun was/is/couldbe a participant in the root verb". Participles can have tense, aspect, mood, and voice. An active participle modifies a noun to say that that noun was(or other form of the verb "to be") an agent of the root verb; a passive participle means that the noun was a patient of the root verb. In English, active participles tend to end with -ing, and sound and look exactly like present participles and imperfective participles and gerunds ("I am killing"); passive participles tend to end with -ed, and sound and look exactly like past participles and perfective participles ("I am killed"). : ''Yes. This is why I’ve accepted the term “participle” for NK, and why other (English-language, at least) writers on related languages generally used the term. I think the only difference of opinion you and I are having is that, because I’m largely rolling “adjective(al)” into the category of “nominal” for NK, I think it’s clearer to think of “participles” as “verbal ‘nouns’” (or “nominals”, if you like) than “verbal ‘adjectives’”. In actual use, their attributive or noun-modifying function is only one of the roles they play. And, as I mentioned, NK doesn't make a rigorous distinction on the level of morphology between active and passive participles; so it's another categorization that's perfectly valid in the abstract but just not very relevant to the matter at hand. -- K.'' :: That all makes sense and explains it all. These participles are "verbal nominals", where "nominals" is the class that includes both "substantive nouns" and "adjective nouns". It's interesting, though, that NK's participles can inflect for most of the categories finite verbs can inflect for (if I understand correctly what you said below). That's one of the things that makes them "verbal" instead of "deverbal". (Though I think taking participants is the main such thing.)--[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 17:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC) EUROTYP says "converb" and "gerund" might as well be synonyms for the use they make of these terms; but they might not be synonyms when trying to typologize non-European languages. NK is Northeast Asian, right? : ''Yep – basically it’s just North Tungusic with funny substrata & adstrata :) -- K.'' "Converb" was first introduced (or so it is my impression; I could be mistaken) to describe the completely morphology-less forms of verbs used in serial verb constructions in many SVC languages; for some serial-verbs, only one of the verbs in the series is inflected for anything, and the others all appear as converbs. It rather resembles the "construct state" of some Semitic languages, in which the root of the noun appears with as little inflection as possible. I think the lack of inflection is more important, considered world-wide, than the use as a noun, for purposes of calling something a "converb"; a "converb" is the most non-finite or least finite possible form of a non-finite verb. While I am personally aware of only one type of verbal adjective that reappears in several languages (to wit "participles", though inflecting these for aspect mood number polarity tense and voice makes several sub-types), I am aware of several types of verbal nouns. There are infinitives and gerunds to start with; there are also masdars and supines and gerundives. Normally the most important kind of verbal noun is called "the infinitive" and the others are all called "gerunds", but obviouslly there are exceptions; some languages traditionallly have a "first infinitive" and a "second infinitive" and so on, and some have a "first gerund" and a "second gerund" and so on. I don't know what the customs are regarding "masdars", but there just aren't a lot of customs regarding "supines"; some grammarians analyzing some languages use "supine" for a type of verbal adverb rather than a type of verbal noun, in particular for a non-finite form of the verb intended to express purpose. (For instance, "it is good to drink", in some languages, what English accomplishes with the infinitive "to drink" would be accomplished with a supine instead.) The term infinitive is never applied to a finite form of the verb. The infinitive must be missing some of the inflection ordinarily required for the nucleus of a main clause. Of course what's "ordinarily required" changes from language to language. But, for preference, if some non-finite forms lack agreement with (some or all) participant(s) (e.g. in number or person or gender), and others instead are "untensed" (lacking, for example, aspect and/or mood and/or polarity and/or tense and/or voice), the term "infinitive" goes to one of the forms specifically lacking agreement. (This doesn't apply to languages where no verb ever has to agree with any of its participants.) In what other ways do you think none of NK's verbal nouns fit the idea of "infinitive"? : ''Most of them can serve as finite verbs, e.g. as the sole predicate of an utterance; they have TAM and voice marking only slightly reduced from the range of finite verbs in the strict sense – actually, they make ‘more’ tense and aspect distinctions than finite verbs; they usually retain the same arguments as the verbal stems they’re derived from; they’re usually inflected to agree with their subject. From what I understand of SAE linguistic tradition, these are "things infinitives don't do." -- K.'' :: ''Most of them can serve as finite verbs, e.g. as the sole predicate of an utterance'' -- then those certainly can't be infinitives. :: ''they have TAM and voice marking only slightly reduced from the range of finite verbs in the strict sense – actually, they make ‘more’ tense and aspect distinctions than finite verbs'' -- I think that constrains against, but does not block, calling them "infinitives". :: ''they usually retain the same arguments as the verbal stems they’re derived from'' -- the more they participants they retain, the bigger a constraint against calling them "infinitives". If they just retain one that makes them "verbal" rather than "deverbal" nominals, but is probably a non-weighty constraint against being called "infinitives"; if they retain all then that ''is'' a weighty constraint against being called "infinitives". :: ''they’re usually inflected to agree with their subject.'' -- To my way of thinking, then, those almost certainly can't be called "infinitives". If a form of the verb agrees with all of the participants a finite verb agrees with (assuming a finite verb would have to agree with some), it might as well be "nearly finite" for this purpose; certainly not an "infinitive". OTOH I might not be correct about this. --[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 17:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC) I think your "Purposive Converbs", or at least "purposive verbal nouns", could well be called "supines". It would fit. The term "supine" is a bit obscure (not well known), and also a bit vague. You might want to consider it anyway. : ''I honestly don't see why. There’s nothing special, morphologically or syntactically, about that one verb form that would seem to merit being singled out. Just because there’s a specialized term available from Greco-Latin linguistics doesn’t mean it’s useful or meaningful to use out that context. In NK, or in other Mongolian or Tungusic languages I know of, for that matter, I don’t see the point of highlighting form X or Y as an “infinitive” or “supine”. It's artificial until proven otherwise :) -- K.'' :: Then don't do it. I just thought it couldn't hurt; I actually didn't see a benefit myself, except that I thought it would do better than "converb". But on looking it over again I decided that "converb" was the better term after all. As you say; the LORD gives us the language but we make up the metalanguage. "Infinitive" and "supine" (''especially'' "supine") are artificial, at least when applied to languages they aren't already traditionally applied to. --[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 17:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC) I don't know that you really want to call anything a "converb", unless its for one of the two reasons I mentioned at the top of this response. Are the things you're calling "converbs" really totally without any verbal morphology -- really bare roots? If not, or not almost, you might want to consider some other term. ''Edit: your "uninflected converbs" probably should still be called "converbs". Maybe your "inflected converbs" should be called something else?'' The term "verbnoun" is frequently used e.g. in discussing Celtic languages. There are a few other families where it is commonly used. If a language's verb lexicon consists mostly of "lightverb + contentword" combinations, as e.g. Korean's does, then perhaps the content-word is usually a noun, or very nounlike, and can usually be used as a verbal noun; if so it's likely to be called a "verbnoun". [[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 19:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC) : ''That makes sense in its own terms, but again, I don’t see a practical advantage to that term over others; and more importantly, to me it would damage the “emic plausibility” of the NK materials.

I think, though, it would make better sense to call them "co-referent" vs "switch-reference", or "same-subject" vs "different-subject", or some such, rather than "uninflected" vs "inflected". At least if you'd done so I wouldn't have been confused; OTOH maybe I'm not typical. --[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 18:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC) : ''Well, at very least, you’re more attentive to high-precision nomenclature than I am :)'' :: And maybe more than some professional linguists as well; in other words, maybe too attentive.

I don't know how to make the link, so I'm going to quote. I hope this isn't a copyright violation; since this is in the "talk" part, it probably isn't. I'd make the link instead if I knew how. :Converb :From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :In general linguistics, a converb is a non-finite verb form that serves to express adverbial subordination, i.e. notions like 'when', 'because', 'after', 'while'. :Converbs are not to be confused with Coverbs. :The term converb was coined for Mongolian by Ramstedt (1903) and until recently was mostly used by specialists of Mongolic and Turkic languages to describe non-finite verbs that could be used either for coordination or subordination. Nedjalkov & Nedjalkov (1987) first adopted the term for general typological use, followed by Haspelmath & König (1995). :A converb depends syntactically on another verb form, but is not its argument. It can be an adjunct, i.e. an adverbial, but can neither be the only predicate of a simple sentence, nor clausal argument (i.e. it cannot depend on predicates such as ‘begin’, ‘order’, etc.), nor a nominal argument (i.e. it does not occur in subject and object position) (Nedjalkov 1995: 97). :Coverb :From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :Coverbs is a term of General linguistics most often applied in languages with serial verb construction, but also for complex predicates consisting of two verbs with one of them being an auxiliary verb contributing different kinds of information like modality, direction or aktionsart. It fulfills a similar function as adpositions would in many Indogermanic languages like Dutch or Russian. Coverbs exist in a number of east and south-east Asian languages (e.g. Chinese), as well as west African languages (e.g. Yoruba). :Coverbs must not be confused with Converbs. Possibly the Wiki people are confused; possibly the people I thought I was quoting were confused. (I am deliberately ignoring the high probability that it was ''me'' who was confused.) --[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 22:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC) Neo-Khitanese 2669 12676 2006-08-25T01:07:28Z Muke 1 [[Neo-Khitanese]] moved to [[Kilda Kelen]]: requested move #REDIRECT [[Kilda Kelen]] Template:Sectionrewrite 2670 15599 2006-11-15T17:11:08Z Melroch 31 Spotted typo {| class="messagebox" style="background-color: #CCFFCC;" |- | <div align="center">''This section is being rewritten at'' [[{{{1}}}]] </div> |} <noinclude> Cf.

It is descended from the central dialects of Imperial Adāta. While it maintains many ancestral features, there have also been significant changes in phonology, grammar, and lexicon. == Genealogy == * [http://www.almeopedia.com/index.php/Ndak_Ta Ndak Ta] <small>(c. -1900 YP)</small> ** [http://www.deinioljones.net/conlangs/adata/adata.htm Adāta] <small>(c. 0-200 YP)</small> *** '''Aθáta''' <small>(c. 1000 YP)</small> There is some information available on the northernmost dialect of Aθáta, [http://tzirtzi.ipage.com/akana/index.php?title=Aθáta/Sawîyaran Sawîyaran]. A descendant of Aθáta itself is [http://www.r0ry.co.uk/E%27at.html E'át]. == Phonology == === Sound Changes === The ancestral phonology can be found [http://www.deinioljones.net/conlangs/adata/adata.htm here]. Over the next several centuries, the following sound changes occurred: # Original '''[h]''' was lost in all positions. # '''[x]''' weakened to '''[h]''', which was then lost except in initial position. # In words with initial stress, the rightmost non-initial long vowel attracted the stress, e.g. '''*Ádāta''' > '''*Adâta''' "Aθáta". # Aspirated stops lenited to voiceless fricatives: '''[pʰ tʰ kʰ]''' > '''[f θ x]'''. # Voiced stops lenited to voiced fricatives (perhaps simultaneous with #4): '''[b d g]''' > '''[v ð ɣ]'''. # Elision of unstressed vowels: #* Medial unstressed short vowels were elided immediately following a vowel with primary or secondary stress, e.g. '''*dízaka''' > '''*ðíska''' "king". #* In disyllabic words with final stress, the first vowel was elided if it is short and preceded by a consonant, e.g. '''*kuthê''' > '''kθê''' "steal". # Short and long vowel distinctions were lost in monophthongs. # Short diphthongs were smoothed to long monophthongs: '''[ai ei oi au eu ou]''' > '''[ē ī ī ō ū ū]'''. # Long diphthongs were shortened: '''[āi ēi ōi āu ēu ōu]''' > '''[ai ei oi au eu ou]'''. # Coda stops were aspirated and then merged with the corresponding fricatives, e.g. '''*mékat''' > '''*mékaθ''' "brother". # All fricatives came to be pronounced voiceless in initial and final positions, and voiced in medial position (except before a voiceless stop), leading to a formal merger of the voiced and voiceless fricatives. # Palatalization changes: #* Velars became palatals next to a front vowel: '''[k x ɣ]''' > '''[c ç ʝ]'''. #* Dentals became postalveolars before '''[i]''': '''[t s z]''' > '''[tʃ ʃ ʒ]'''. The affricate then quickly merged with the palatal stop '''[c]'''. <br/> === Phonemes === Allophones are marked in brackets. <br/> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=16 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: 100%; height: 2em" | ||colspan=1| Labial ||colspan=1| Dental ||colspan=1| Alveolar ||colspan=1| Postalv. ||colspan=1| Palatal ||colspan=1| Velar ||colspan=1| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| Plosives || '''{{IPA|p}}''' || '''{{IPA|t}}''' || || || '''{{IPA|c}}''' || '''{{IPA|k}}''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| Fricatives || '''{{IPA|f}}''' || '''{{IPA|θ}}''' || '''{{IPA|s}}''' || '''{{IPA|ʃ}}''' || '''[{{IPA|ç}}]''' || '''{{IPA|x}}''' || '''{{IPA|h}}''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| || '''[{{IPA|v}}]''' || '''[{{IPA|ð}}]''' || '''[{{IPA|z}}]''' || '''[{{IPA|ʒ}}]''' || '''[{{IPA|ʝ}}]''' || '''[{{IPA|ɣ}}]''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| Nasals || '''{{IPA|m}}''' || '''{{IPA|n}}''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| Laterals || || '''{{IPA|l}}''' || '''{{IPA|ɾ}}''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| Glides || || || || || '''{{IPA|j}}''' |} <br/> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| High || '''{{IPA|i}}''' || '''{{IPA|ī}}''' || || || '''{{IPA|u}}''' || '''{{IPA|ū}}''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| Mid || '''{{IPA|e}}''' || '''{{IPA|ē}}''' || || || '''{{IPA|o}}''' || '''{{IPA|ō}}''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 100%;"| Low || || || '''{{IPA|a}}''' || '''{{IPA|ā}}''' |} <br/> === Orthography === Aθáta has a slightly different orthography from its parent language. However, it is almost completely phonemic (meaning one-to-one phoneme correspondence), since the allophones are always predictable. Only the phoneme '''[c]''' is marked by two different graphemes, '''<c>''' and '''<ti>''', for reasons of etymology. The main orthographic differences are: * Use of '''<c>''' instead of '''<k>''' to mark '''{{IPA|/k/}}'''. * Use of '''<f θ x>''' instead of '''<ph th kh>''', due to those sounds (earlier aspirated stops) becoming fricatives, as mentioned above. * Lack of '''<h>''', since its corresponding phoneme has long since disappeared. * Use of '''<si>''' to indicate '''{{IPA|/ʃ/}}'''. * Word stress, which is not predictable, is always marked. An acute accent marks stress on a short vowel, while a circumflex marks it on a long vowel or diphthong (in the latter case, always on the second member). Aside from these changes, the orthography is exactly like Adāta, including the use of macrons to indicate (unstressed) long vowels. <br/> === Pronounciation === Here are some simple rules on pronouncing written Aθáta: * The letters '''<f θ x s>''' are voiceless at the beginning and end of a word. In the middle of a word, they are voiceless before '''<nowiki><p t c></nowiki>''' and voiced otherwise. Examples: '''<fáfor>''' {{IPA|[ˈfa.vɔɾ]}} "strength", '''<mécaθ>''' {{IPA|[ˈme.caθ]}} "brother", '''<θísca>''' {{IPA|[ˈθis.ka]}} "king", '''<énθa>''' {{IPA|[ˈɛn.ða]}} "(to) feel", '''<xósa>''' {{IPA|[ˈxo.za]}} "grove", '''<láxo>''' {{IPA|[ˈla.ɣo]}} "bone", '''<máθexlax>''' {{IPA|[ˈma.ðɛʝ.lax]}} "your (pl.) hearts", '''<θmôcaix>''' {{IPA|[ˈθmō.kaɪç]}} "our city-states". * The letters '''<c x>''' are pronounced as palatals when adjacent to a front vowel and as velars otherwise. Examples: '''<éxa>''' {{IPA|[ˈe.ʝa]}} "domesticated animal", '''<xénu>''' {{IPA|[ˈçe.nu]}} "light", '''<xocé>''' {{IPA|[xo.ˈce]}} "tin", '''<cálas>''' {{IPA|[ˈka.las]}} "borders", '''<écon>''' {{IPA|[ˈe.cɔn]}} "hostile". * The letter '''<t>''' is pronounced as {{IPA|[c]}} before {{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|[t]}} otherwise. Likewise, '''<nowiki><s></nowiki>''' is pronounced as {{IPA|[ʃ]}} before {{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|[s]}} otherwise (voicing rules apply as above). Examples: '''<pacátia>''' {{IPA|[pa.ˈka.ca]}} "throne", '''<túsiax>''' {{IPA|[ˈtuʒax]}} "they are eating", '''<fasa>''' {{IPA|[ˈfa.za]}} "staff", '''<rúlas>''' {{IPA|[ˈru.las]}} "foreign", '''<nowiki><síma></nowiki>''' {{IPA|[ˈʃi.ma]}} "mud". <br/> == Grammar == One can expect a language's grammar to change consideribly over five to eight centuries, and Aθáta is no exception. It has innovated many features that did not exist in its parent tongue, including possessive suffixes on nouns and subject endings on verbs. For reference purposes, the ancestral Adāta grammar can be found [http://www.deinioljones.net/conlangs/adata/adata.htm#Morphology here]. <br/> === Nouns === Like its parent language, Aθáta's nouns are largely lacking in grammatical morphology. However, they do inflect for number (singular and plural) and can also take a possessive pronominal suffix. ==== Pluralization ==== Historically, the plural affix comes from '''*-k''', from the pronominal plural. In Aθáta, this ending becomes '''-x''' in coda position and '''-c''' otherwise (i.e. when a possessive suffix is added). For words ending in consonants in the singular, an [a] is inserted between the noun stem and the plural ending. Also, sometimes the noun stem changes form between the singular and the plural. Examples: # Coda vs. non-coda: '''éθcix''' [ˈɛθ.ciç] "mistresses" vs. '''éθcicāx''' [ˈɛθ.ci.cāx] "their mistresses" vs. '''éθcixlax''' [ˈɛθ.cɪʝ.lax] "your (pl.) mistresses". # Vowel-stems vs. consonant-stems: '''fθô''' [ˈfθō] "fat", '''fθôx''' [ˈfθōx] "fats" vs. '''êf''' [ˈēf] "man", '''êfax''' [ˈē.vax] "men". # Alternation vs. non-alternation: '''neré''' [ne.ˈɾe] "woman", '''neréx''' [ne.ˈɾɛç] "women" vs. '''íθun''' [ˈi.ðʊn] "sea", '''íθnax''' [ˈɪð.nax] "seas". ==== Possession ==== Aθáta marks possession on the head instead of the dependent, using suffixes. A noun marked by a possessive suffix is governed by the following noun. There are endings for all grammatical persons (first, second, and third) and numbers (singular and plural): {| | || Singular || Plural |- | First || '''-(a)in''' || '''-(a)ix''' |- | Second || '''-(a)θon''' || '''-(a)lax''' |- | Third || '''-ān''' || '''-āx''' |} For the first-person endings, the [a] is included when the noun ends in a consonant (this includes all plural nouns). Compare '''caroîn''' [ka.ˈɾoɪn] "my friend" vs. '''carócain''' [ka.ˈɾo.kaɪn] "my friends". The second-person endings include the [a] when an illegal consonant cluster would otherwise occur, e.g. '''xírlaθon''' [ˈçɪɾ.la.ðɔn] "your book" for '''*xírlθon'''. Historically, these possessive suffixes come from the old possessive particle '''*ax''' plus oblique pronouns. So, for example, '''níθain''' [ˈni.ðaɪn] "my bread" came from earlier '''*níθa ax in''' "bread of me". Many words alternate the same way for possessive suffixes that they do for plurals. Examples: '''cálas''' [ˈka.las] "border" vs. '''cálsax''' [ˈkal.zax] "borders" and '''cálsaix''' [ˈkal.zaɪç] "our border"; '''mécaθ''' [ˈme.caθ] "brother" vs. '''méxθax''' [ˈmɛʝ.ðax] "brothers" and '''méxθacāx''' [ˈmɛʝ.ða.kax] "their brothers";'''céla''' [ˈce.la] "scribe" and '''célax''' [ˈce.lax] "scribes" vs. '''célcān''' [ˈcɛl.kān] "his scribes". <br/> === Pronouns === The pronouns have undergone significant changes since the parent language. For one thing, the direct and possessive forms became entirely lost, save in fossilized phrases. As a result, the oblique forms spread to take their functions. One of the reasons for this change is the preponderance of prepositional phrases governing the oblique, e.g. '''ilín''' [il.ˈɪn] "to me", '''ofán''' [o.ˈvan] "on it", '''aθláx''' [að.ˈlax] "into you (pl)". Here are the current pronouns: {| | || Singular || Plural |- | First || '''in''' || '''ix''' |- | Second || '''θon''' || '''lax''' |- | Third || '''an''' || '''ax''' |} Aθáta is a pro-drop language. Subject pronouns are rarely expressed overtly, due to verbs' obligatory subject endings. When they are explicitly given, they serve as emphasis: '''Péθfin-ax în''' [ˈpɛð.vi.nax ˈīn] "''I'' conquered them." Notice that, in subject form, the pronouns are always stressed and, being stressed monosyllables, always have a long vowel. Object pronouns are treated as enclitics. With verbs, they never carry stress, and thus have short vowels. As objects of prepositions, however, they are always stressed. Since the resulting forms always have at least two syllables, the pronouns still have short vowels. <br/> === Verbs === Like its parent language, Aθáta verbs distinguish modality, aspect, and valency. However, the old number distinction has been lost due to the advent of subject endings, which themselves distinguish number. Aθáta's verb system has therefore been changed somewhat. Some of the affixes have been lost while others have changed. ==== Valency and Aspect ==== Verbs distinguish three aspects, ''habitual'', ''perfective'', and ''imperfective''; and two voices, ''active'' and ''passive''. Below are sample aspect/valency paradigms for two verbs, '''áfse''' [ˈav.ze] "sing" and '''sîn''' [ˈʃīn] "live": {| | || Active || Passive |- | Habitual || '''áfse''' || '''áfsel''' |- | Perfective || '''áfsefe''' || '''afséfe''' |- | Imperfective || '''áfsesi''' || '''afsési''' |} {| | || Active || Passive |- | Habitual || '''sîn''' || '''símal''' |- | Perfective || '''símfe''' || '''simáfe''' |- | Imperfective || '''símsi''' || '''simási''' |} Additionally, some verbs do not undergo a shift in stress between active and passive, as they were also end-stressed in the active. These verbs have taken the ending '''-l''' from the habitual passive and regularized it into a purely passive affix. One such verb is '''fnê''' [ˈfnē] "pray": {| | || Active || Passive |- | Habitual || '''fnê''' || '''fnêl''' |- | Perfective || '''fnéfe''' || '''fnélfe''' |- | Imperfective || '''fnési''' || '''fnélsi''' |} Some dialects and registers have spread the so-called "l-extension" to the historically regular verbs, giving rise to such forms as '''simâl''' [ˈʃmāl] "is lived" and '''afsélfe ~ fsélfe''' [av.ˈzɛl.ve ~ ˈfsɛl.ve] "has been sung". This trend is becoming more commonplace as time goes on, and will probably become a standard feature of the language in the not-so-distant future. ==== Personal Endings ==== As noted above, verbs in Aθáta also inflect for person and number of the subject. These subject endings have arisen from oblique pronouns that became encliticized and then attached to the verb: {| | || Singular || Plural |- | First || '''-in''' || '''-ix''' |- | Second || '''-θon''' || '''-lax''' |- | Third || '''-an''' || '''-ax''' |} Note the similarity to the possessive endings above. Additionally, a subject ending replaces a final stem vowel when it begins with a vowel, e.g. '''áfsix''' [ˈav.zɪç] "we sing", '''símfax''' [ˈʃɪm.vax] "they have lived", and '''fnélsian''' [ˈfnɛl.ʒan] "it is being prayed". In the last example, the '''<nowiki><i></nowiki>''' remains to indicate the fricative [ʒ] -- otherwise, it would be read as [ˈfnɛl.zan]. ==== Moods ==== Aθáta, like its parent language, indicates seven moods -- ''indicative'' (the unmarked form), ''imperative'', ''optative'', ''benefactive'', ''obligative'', ''futilitive'', and ''conditional''. The morphology of these moods is largely inherited, and all of them are expressed using prefixes. One important difference lies in the formal merger of the benefactive and old obligative moods, due to the merger of */s/ and */z/. Additionally, the adoption of subject endings made the imperative prefix redundant as such, since the unmarked stem could now be used. The old imperative, therefore, came to be used as the new obligative mood. A table outlining the prefixes follows: {| | || colspan=2| Affirmative || colspan=2| Negative |- | Indicative || - || - || '''a-''' || '''m-''' |- | Imperative || colspan=4| ''= indicative; see below'' |- | Optative || '''u-''' || '''uc-''' || '''mu-''' || '''muc-''' |- | Benefactive || '''s-''' || '''s-''' || '''as-''' || '''as-''' |- | Obligative || '''i-''' || '''ic-''' || '''mi-''' || '''mic-''' |- | Futilitive || '''ir-''' || '''ir-''' || '''mir-''' || '''mir-''' |- | Conditional || '''pu-''' || '''puc-''' || '''apu-''' || '''apuc-''' |} The new imperative mood is a special case. Formally it is the same as the indicative, but it does not use any personal endings, since it applies only to second-person subjects. Instead, it uses the bare stem (plus aspect/valency) for a singular subject and has an ending '''-θi''' for a plural subject. This ending comes from the old plural habitual ending '''*-thi'''. However, both the singular and plural imperative can take an obligative prefix for added emphasis. <br/> == Syntax == === Word Order === ==== Main Clauses ==== Constituent word order is VSO in all main clauses: '''(M)éθrasi neré níθa.''' <br> [ˈɛð.ɾa.ʒi ne.ˈɾe ˈni.ða] <br> ''The woman is (not) baking the bread.'' ==== Adpositional Phrases ==== Generally, adpositional phrases are ordered ''time - manner - place'': '''Nómvin cáp' ate-nárrol il-Niθsé.''' <br> [ˈnɔm.vɪn ˈkap a.te.ˈna.rɔl ɪl.nɪð.ˈze] <br> ''I went to Niθsé by horse last year.'' == Example Text == Under construction.

The guiding principle was to take foreign language words from the contents pages of each grammar and use them as the basis of an imaginary language. Also used were irregularities affecting verbs and nouns, etc., and descriptions of courtesy language (notably, Japanese, Samoan and Modern Persian). The language creator is Andrew Smith. Details of the language speakers and culture are speculative as yet. One name I have for this language is 'the language of the ghost people' or 'ghostian', suggesting that the speakers are perceived as a fair-skinned race by outsiders. = Pronunciation = Consonants: {| || ||labial||dental||alveolar||postalveolar||palatal||velar||glottal |- ||unvoicedstops||p||t|| || || ||k|| |- ||voiced stops||b||d|| || || ||g|| |- ||affricates|| || || ||tʃ|| || || |- ||unvoiced fricatives||f|| ||s||ʃ|| || || |- ||voiced fricatives||v|| || || || || ||h |- ||nasals||m||n|| || || ||ŋ|| |- ||lateral|| || ||l|| || || || |- ||approximant|| || ||ɹ|| || |- ||semivowels||w|| || || || j|| || |} Vowels: OT2.0 has the vowels /i ɪ e ɛ a ʉ ʊ ɔ ɑ/.

It is alternative uses to being the infinitive form of the verb. The language also uses it as a verbal noun: a word ending in '-ing' or in '-ation'; and as an adjective derived from verbs. A number of verbs derived from nouns exist only as verbal nouns; as do causative verbs derived from other verbs. In such cases tense and person are described peripherally from the verb. More information will be released as a better understanding on how they work emerges. ==''Wohant'', to be, being == The present tense of 'to be' is as follows: {| |''me mi''||I am||''meme en''||we are |- |''te si''||you (sg) are||''tete ti''||you (pl) are |- |''ta ti''||he is||''ga en (ti)''||they are |} The pronouns for 'she' and 'it' are ''da'' and ''ten'' respectively. If the subject is a plural noun, the verb form is ''ti'' rather than ''en''. In old high literature the forms of the verb for 'we are' and 'they are' are ''emo'' and ''eno''. These forms are not used in the spoken language. The past tense of 'to be' is {| |''me wora''||I was||''meme woren''||we were |- |''te woret''||you (sg) were||''tete woret''||you (pl) were |- |''ta woret''||he was||''ga woren (woret)''||they were |} The past tense of 'to be' translates both 'I have been' and 'I was' It can also acts as an auxiliary. The negative verb marker is a clitic. After a consonant it is ''shim'', after a vowel ''him''. In a subordinate clause it becomes an independent adverb and moves to in front of the verb. {| |''me ve tehim''||I was not||''meme ve enshim''||we were not |} As an independent word ''shim, shidim'' means 'nothing'. The future tense of 'to be' is {| |''me ve bude''||I will be||''meme ve budun''||we will be |- |''te ve bud''||you (sg) will be||''tete ve bud''||you (pl) will be |- |''ta ve bud''||he will be||''ga ve budun (bud)''||they will be |} ''Ve'' is described as a non-present participle that is placed between the subject and a past or future verb. It is not used with ''wora'', but it is used with ''bud'' The imperative is ''wohú''. This is considered abrupt and only used as a command. With adjectives <i>mi</i> and <i>wora</i> describes a temporary or accidental situation, and <i>deide mi</i> and <i>deide wora</i> describes a more permanent or general situation. ==''A'nt'', to have, auxiliary verb== ''A'nt'' is used to mean 'to have (done something)'. It is not used to mean 'to have, possess or hold'. In this sense the language prefers to use a prepositional phrase. Present tense: {| |''me a'''||I have||''meme a'n''||we have |- |''te aft''||you (sg.) have||''tete aft''||you (pl.) have |- |''ta aft''||he has||''ga a'n (aft)''||they have |} In the old high language the contracted forms insert a ''-b-'': ''me ab'', ''meme/ga aben'', ''abant''. This has dropped out of the modern language. Past tense: {| |''me ve yed''||I had||''meme ve yeden''||we have |- |''te ve yed''||you (sg.) had||''tete ve yed''||you (pl.) had |- |''ta ve yede''||he had||''ga ve yeden (ve yed)''||they had |} ''A'nt'' is not used with reflexive verbs or verbs of motion. Instead these verbs use the verbal noun, combined with the forms of ''wohant'' to indicate the number and the tense. ==Future Auxiliary== The modal auxiliaries ''kal'' and ''wol'' are used with the verbal noun. ''Kal'', shall, be going to, is ...ing, is used with the first person, and ''wol'', will, be willing, want, like, wish, with the second, although this is not rigid. {| |''me ve kal''||I shall||''meme ve kalen''||we shall |- |''te ve wolt''||you (sg.) will||''tete ve wolt''||you (pl.) will |- |''ta ve wolt''||he will||''ga ve wolen||they will |} If the verbal noun is a verb of motion it can be dropped if the direction is indicated by an adverb or a preposition. The present tense can be used for future action, especially if it is marked by an adverb of time. ''Dyant'' or ''kal/wol dyant'', will become, can also replace ''bud'' in which case it portends an unchanging state (will always be...). ''Dyant'' cannot replace ''kal/wol aryant'', to be (in a place). ==''Yirant'', to go (by foot)== Present tense: {| |'' me yire''||I go||''meme yirun''||we go |- |''te yir''||you (sg.) go||''tete yir''||you (pl.) go |- |''ta yir''||he goes||''ga yirun'' |} The past tense is irregular (there must be a story behind that): {| |''me ve sefa''||I went||''meme ve seften''||we went |- |''te ve seft''||you (sg.) went||''tete ve seft''||you (pl.) went |- |''ta ve sefte''||he goes||''ga ve seften''||they went |} Similar to ''Yirant'' is the verb ''yerant'', to go (by vehicle), present tense: {| |''me yere''||I go||''meme yerun''||we go |- |''te yer''||you (sg.) go||''tete yer''||you (pl.) go |- |''ta yer''||he goes||''ga yerun''||they go |} ''Yerant'' uses the same ending in the past tense as in the present: {| |''me ve yerte''||I went||''meme ve yerten''||we went |- |''te ve yerte''||you (sg.) went||''tete ve yerte''||you (pl.) went |- |''ta ve yerte''||he went||''ga ve yerten''||they went |} Completed action with these verbs are made by combining the verbal noun with ''wohant'', to be: ''me mi yirant'', I have gone (on foot); ''ga worun yerant'', they had gone (by vehicle). ==''Kulahant''== Literally this is a polite word meaning 'to beg'. The phrase ''me kulas'' is used widely to mean 'I beg (you)', 'please' and 'please don't mention it, you are welcome'. With the imperative ending it becomes a polite way of phrasing a command: ''kulahú yirant'', (please) go. User:Ebilein 2680 54328 2010-05-30T12:36:53Z Ebilein 219 Hi, my name is Daniel and I live in Austria. My mothertongue is German; I also learned English for eight years at school, Latin for six years, Italian for two years and French for four years. I'm currently studying Finnish and Linguistics at the university of Vienna: I've been studying Finnish for two years now and also started taking lessons on Dutch, Swedish and Japanese. I participated in the "Cursed Relay" and produced [[Æðadĕ]] whose vocabulary has been enlargened by other participants. Æðadĕ was my first near-to-finished conlang (although I of course notice that it's nowhere near as good as it could have been) and I've been developing [[Thesome]] since... I think 2007. It's a very slow process, but I like it and just go along as time goes by. The Pages: [[Æðadĕ]] [[Proto-Thesomalchellean]] [[Thesome]] Æðadĕ 2681 57638 2010-11-14T14:44:18Z Cedh audmanh 313 {{Conlang3 | language = Æðadĕ | phonetic = ˈæ.ða.də | world = [[Akana]] | date = c. 1000 YP | place = Lasomo | speakers = c. 2 million | script = adapted <br>Ŋauro script | family = Edastean <br>&nbsp;Dāiadak <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Northern Dāiadak <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Æðadĕ | word-or = SVO | mor-type = fusional | morphalign = NOM-ACC | author = ebilein }} {{Akana}} Æðadĕ [ˈæ.ða.də] is, just like [http://www.geocities.com/low_zl/ayasth/ayasth.html Ayasth] and [[Aθáta]], a descendant of the earlier [http://www.deinioljones.net/conlangs/adata/adata.htm Adāta] language developed by Deiniol Jones (aka Dewrad). It was created for the "Derivation Relay" in August 2006 at the zompist board by Daniel Ebner (aka ebilein). A daughter-language of Æðadĕ itself is [http://www.tundria.com/Zompist/Yad-1.shtml Yād]. == Phonology == === Phonemes === Here follows the consonant inventory: {| | | Labial | Dental | Alveolar | Velar | Glottal |- | Plosive | pʰ b | tʰ d | | kʰ ɡ |- | Fricative | ɸ β | θ ð | s z | x | h |- | Nasal | m | n | | |- | Lateral | | l | ɾ | |- | Semivowel | w | | j | |} The aspirated voiceless stops are usually pronounced without aspiration after another consonant. The Vowel Inventory is as follows: {| | | Front | Central | Back |- | High | i iː | | u uː |- | Mid High | e eː | ə | ɔ ɔː |- | Mid Low | æ | |- | Low | a aː |} === Orthography === '''ɸ''' and '''β''' are represented with '''f''' and '''v''', '''θ''' with '''þ'''. Aspirated stops are written without a following '''h''': '''p''' /pʰ/, '''t''' /tʰ/, '''k''' /kʰ/. Sometimes (especially preceding another consonant) the voiceless stops are pronounced without aspiration. Long Vowels are marked with a makron: ī, ē, ā, ō, ū; ə is represented by ĕ. === Sound Changes from Adāta === # i > j / _V: iarioba > jarjoba, hānedia > hānedja # a, e > ə / unstressed: abesa > abəsə, lōzera > lōzərə # b, d, g > β, ð, ɣ: jabə > jaβə, Adātə > Aðātə, gamun > ɣamun # ə > nil / following or preceding a stressed syllable and always wordfinal, but never initial or after another vowel or halfvowel: aβən > aβn, ēəβ > ēəβ; Exception: pəpō, zəzāk, hápəβ and, curiously, Aðātə remain # Two geminate consonants following each other are simplified to one: azz > az # ls > lz: lsō > lzō # n, l, r > ṇ, ḷ, ṛ / final and preceded by a consonant: aln > alṇ, khīrl > khīrḷ, lōzr > lōzṛ # p(h), t(h), k(h) > ɸ, þ, x / _C (but not if preceding /j/): áplo > áɸlo, záthṇ > záþṇ # regressive assimilation: áβs > áɸs, ásð > ázð, átzən > ádzən, ðiézk > ðiésk # ai, ei, oi, au, eu > aj, ej, oj, aw, ew: eul > ewl, dei > dej # á, é, í, ó, ú > ǽ, ié, í, ú, ué: Ádātə > Ǽðātə # ué, ié > wé, jé # Stress shifts to initial syllable # ə > a / stressed: əpjāp > apjāp # p, t, k > b, d, g / initial, V_V or final after a vowel: ǽk > ǽg # Unstressed long vowels are shortened: abjāb > abjab # lz > ḷz / wordinitial: lzō > ḷzō # ɣ > h / initial: ɣǽmun > hǽmun # ɣ > x: zūlɣ > zūlx == Grammar == === Nominal Morphology === ==== Plural ==== The '''Plural''' is formed by the prefix '''op-''' (< Adāta "opha", many), which becomes '''ov-''' before voiced stops or fricatives and '''of-''' before voiceless stops, fricatives, laterals and nasals. Additionally, long vowels are shortened because stress shifts to the initial syllable. Remember also that aspirated initial consonants are spoken without aspiration as soon as the prefix is added. Pluralisation is not required if the noun is preceeded by such words as '''iz''' ''every'' or '''næm''' ''some''. Examples: * '''tālo''' ''moon'', '''oftalo''' ''moons'' * '''ðjesk''' ''king'', '''ovðjesk''' ''kings'' * '''iþki''' ''mistress'', '''opiþki''' ''mistresses'' * '''jādi''' ''prisoner'', '''opjadi''' ''prisoners'' ==== Possession ==== Æðadĕ, unlike Adāta but very much like its sister languages Ayasth and Aθáta, marks possession with suffixes rather than independant words. {| | ! Singular ! Plural |- ! 1 | -aj | -ajg |- ! 2 | -aðo | -alaw |- ! 3 | -ag | -aga |} The following changes occur: wordfinal '''e''' and '''i''' > '''j''', wordfinal '''o''' and '''u''' > '''w''' and wordfinal '''a''' vanishes. Examples: * '''ðjesk''' ''king'', '''ðjeskajg''' ''our king'' * '''iþki''' ''mistress'', '''iþkjaj''' ''my mistress'' * '''iðo''' ''noble man'', '''iðwaðo''' ''your noble man'' * '''aðuna''' ''girl'', '''aðunalaw''' ''your girl'' ==== Adjectives ==== Adjectives follow the noun they describe ('''ðjeskaj bira''' ''my brave king''), but they do not change for number ('''ovðjeskaj bira''' ''my brave kings''). A Comparative can be formed by suffixing '''-nez''' (or '''-ez''' if the adjective ends in a non-syllabic n), a Superlative by suffixing '''-jal''' (Adāta "ial", very). Examples: * '''bira''', '''biranez''', '''birajal''' - ''brave, braver, bravest'' * '''tērn̩''', '''tērn̩nez''', '''tērn̩jal''' - ''beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful'' * '''ðōdin''', '''ðōdinez''', '''ðōdinjal''' - ''holy, holier, holiest'' For emphasis it is also possible to add '''jæl''' ''very'' in front of the Superlative. Remember, though, that jæl is never used before the comparative. Example: '''ðjesk (jæl) birajal''' ''the bravest king'' ==== Subject Marker -ro ==== The Subject Marker suffix '''ro''' is suffixed to the last part of the noun phrase, but never to appositional nouns or relative phrases. It is also not used if the sentence is negated (obviously Æðadean speakers thought if it did not happen, why bother to mark the Subject?). Examples: * '''ðjesk''' ''king'', '''ðjeskro''' ''king'' * '''iþkjaj''' ''my mistress'', '''iþkjajro''' ''my mistress'' * '''aðunalaw jæl tērn̩jal''' ''your most beautiful girl'', '''aðunalaw jæl tērn̩jalro''' ''your most beautiful girl'' * '''Sjenkĕn, ðjesk xizor''' ''Sjenken, the great king'', '''Sjenkĕnro, ðjesk xizor''' ''Sjenken, the great king'' ==== Adverbs ==== Adverbs precede the verb they modify and are not marked otherwise. Compare: * '''jero ''ōvo'' nun''' ''I went'' happily * '''je ōvoro nun''' ''I, the happy one, went'' ==== Demonstratives and Quantifiers ==== Æðadĕ lost Adāta's three-way deixis of demonstratives and simplified it to a two-way distinction: this and that. * '''zē''' Pl. '''zāg''' - ''this, these'' * '''sje''' Pl. '''sjeg''' - ''that, those'' Here follows a list of Quantifiers: * '''næm''' ''some'' * '''iz''' ''all'' * '''ur''' ''every, each'' Both Demonstratives and Quantifiers precede the noun they modify; if the noun is preceded by a demonstrative or quantifier, the plural prefix oph- is optional and usually omitted. Examples: * '''zāg (ov)ðjesk''' ''these kings'' * '''næm (oph)aðuna''' ''some girls'' ==== Numerals ==== {| | ! Cardinal ! Ordinal ! x10 |- ! 1 | gi | lugi | ru |- ! 2 | jæ | lujæ | jæro |- ! 3 | zō | luzo | zōro |- ! 4 | vwe | luvwe | vwero |- ! 5 | ðō | luðo | ðōro |- ! 6 | is | luzis | ēro |- ! 7 | mæn | lumæn | māro |- ! 8 | hweð | lūð | hweðro |- ! 9 | njel | lunjel | nīro |- ! 10 | ru | luru | jepi |} Like in Finnish or Vulgar Latin, the numeral 1 may indicate indefinity: '''ðjesk gi''' ''a king, some king''. As can be seen from the example, numerals follow the noun they modify. All numerals usually go with the Singular of the noun, although plural is acceptable (though very uncommon) beginning with numeral two. Higher numbers are combined with '''un''' ''and'', beginning with hundreds, tens and finally one-digits. Examples: * 15: '''ru un ðō''' * 32: '''zōro un jæ''' * 86: '''hweðro un is''' * 152: '''jepi un ðōro un jæ''' ==== Personal Pronouns ==== {| | ! Normal ! Subjective ! Oblique ! Vocative |- ! 1 sg | je | jero | jen | æxin |- ! 2 sg | ðo | ðoro | ðon | æxðon |- ! 3 sg | æ | æro | æn | æxan |- ! 1 pl | jeg | jexro | īn** | æxi |- ! 2 pl | ðog* | ðoxro* | lākon** | æxlako |- ! 3 pl | æg | æxro | ān** | æxa |} (*) The analogically formed 2nd person forms from singular ðo replaced the original "lākhok", "lākhok ro" which would have resulted in lākog, lākoxro. (**) The plural oblique forms would originally have developed without the final "n"; it was, however, placed there due to analogy with the singular. The Vocative forms are used as possessive pronouns in combination with the possessive suffixes if someone is adressed. They are not usually used to indicate mere possession. Example: '''iþki!''' ''oh mistress'', '''iþkjaj æxin!''' ''oh my mistress!'' === Verbal Morphology === Compared to Adāta's verbal system, Æðadĕ has changed a lot. The habitual aspect was lost, as well as some moods. All in all, Æðadĕ tends to be a '''tense-language''' rather than an aspect-language. The following chart shows how the tenses developed from Adāta's aspects: {| | ! Past ! Present ! Future |- ! Indicative | Ind. Perfective | Ind. Imperfective | Opt. Imperfective |- ! Imperative | | Imp. Imperfective | |- ! Optative | Opt. Perfective | Opt. Imperfective | Paraphrased |- ! Obligative | Oblig. Perfective | Oblig. Imperfective | Paraphrased |} Verbs are usually given in the Indicative Present Pl, which is the least inflected form. E.g. '''ævi''' ''say'', '''zjema''' ''live'', '''hæva''' ''drink''. ==== Endings ==== {| | ! Past ! ! Present ! ! Future ! |- | | Sg | Pl | Sg | Pl | Sg | Pl |- ! Indicative | -n | -v | -si | - | uk-si | uk- |- ! Imperative | | | ī-si | ī- | | |- ! Optative | uk-n | uk-v | uk-si | uk- | ūsi VN* | ūs VN* |- ! Obligative | so-n | so-v | so-si | so- | susi VN* | sō VN* |} (*) VN = Verbal noun ==== Verb Stems & Ending Varieties ==== Verbs whose Indicative Present Plural form ends in an '''a''' or an '''e''' usually loose this vowel when endings are suffixed (so '''ævi''' ''say'' with the stem '''ævi-''', opposed to '''zjema''' ''live'' with the stem '''zjem-'''). The affixed '''n''' of the past tense becomes syllabic ('''n̩''') if following another consonant (thus '''ævin''' ''said'' next to '''zjemn̩''' ''lived''). The last sound of the Stem is assimlated to the voiced Past Plural suffix '''v''' ('''nuzv''' ''died'' from '''nusa''', ''die''). Similarly, the last sound of the Stem is assimilated to the voiceless Present Singular suffix '''si''' ('''hæfsi''' ''drinks'' from '''hæva''', ''drink''). The prefix '''uk''' of Optative and Future Indicative only remains in front of '''h''' ('''ukhæfsi''' ''will drink''). If the Stem begins with a vowel or halfvowel, it is softened to '''ug''' ('''ugævisi''' ''will say''); if the Stem of the verb begins with another consonant, it becomes '''ux''' ('''uxzjemsi''' ''will live''). The Obligative prefix '''so''' is shortened to '''s''' in front of vowels and halvowels ('''sævi''' ''shall say''). Two geminate sounds are usually simplified to one ('''hæv''' ''drank'' instead of *hævv, '''nusi''' ''dies'' instead of *nussi) ==== Example Conjugation ==== {| ! ævi ! Past ! ! Present ! ! Future ! |- ! ''say'' | Sg | Pl | Sg | Pl | Sg | Pl |- ! Indicative | ævin | æviv | ævisi | ævi | ugævisi | ugævi |- ! Imperative | | | īævisi | īævi | | |- ! Optative | ugævin | ugæviv | ugævisi | ugævi | ūsi ævjĕn | ūs ævjĕn |- ! Obligative | sævin | sæviv | sævisi | sævi | susi ævjĕn | sō ævjĕn |} {| ! hæva ! Past ! ! Present ! ! Future ! |- ! ''drink'' | Sg | Pl | Sg | Pl | Sg | Pl |- ! Indicative | hævn̩ | hæv | hæfsi | hæva | ukhæfsi | ukhæva |- ! Imperative | | | īhæfsi | īhæva | | |- ! Optative | ukhævn̩ | ukhæv | ukhæfsi | ukhæva | ūsi hævjĕn | ūs hævjĕn |- ! Obligative | sohævn̩ | sohæv | sohæfsi | sohæva | susi hævjĕn | sō hævjĕn |} The Verbal Noun can be formed by omitting the last vowel of the Present Plural and adding either '''-jĕn''' or -ĕjĕn (the latter is not as common as the former and thus marked in dictionaries). ==== Regular Irregularities ==== Verbs beginning with a voiced plosive consonant (b, d, g) are usually two stemmed; they change this first voiced consonant into a voiceless consonant in Optative mood and in Future Present Indicative. Examples: * '''dijo''' ''pull'', '''uxtijo''' ''will pull'' * '''bilæza''' ''send'', '''uxpilæza''' ''will send'' * '''giga''' ''throw'', '''uxkiga''' ''will throw'' Verbs that end in '''ja''' or '''je''' do not loose the final vowel in inflection, but change it to '''ĕ'''. This also goes for verbs of three or more syllables ending in simple a or e and is marked in dictionaries if it does '''not''' occur. Examples: * '''mælja''' ''suck'', '''mæljĕsi''' ''sucks'' * '''ævuje''' ''hold'', '''ævujĕsi''' ''holds'' * '''ōloka''' ''forget'', '''ōlokĕsi''' ''forgets'' ==== Irregular Verbs ==== There are a few irregular verbs whose full inflection will be given now (they are '''æte''' ''be'', '''æði''' ''be'', '''dū''' ''drink'' and '''abena''' ''cry''). {| ! æte ! Past | ! Present | ! Future | |- ! ''be'' | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural |- ! Indicative | æn | vi | si | æte | ūsi | ūs |- ! Imperative | | | isi | is | | |- ! Optative | weg | ūv | ūsi | ūs | ūsi | ūs |- ! Obligative | son | sov | susi | sō | susi | sō |} {| ! æði ! Present | |- ! ''be'' | Singular | Plural |- ! Indicative | æt | æði |- ! Imperative | ī | īĕði |} {| ! dū ! Past | ! Present | ! Future | |- ! ''drink'' | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural |- ! Indicative | dwen | dwev | dwesi | dū | uxtwesi | uxtu |- ! Imperative | | | īswesi | īsu | | |- ! Optative | uxtwen | uxtwev | uxtwesi | uxtu | ūsi dijĕn | ūs dijĕn |- ! Obligative | sodwen | sodwev | sodwesi | sodu | susi dijĕn | sō dijĕn |} {| ! abena ! Past | ! Present | ! Future | |- ! ''cry'' | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural |- ! Indicative | aben | abenv | abensi | abena | uxpensi | uxpena |- ! Imperative | | | īĕbensi | īĕbena | | |- ! Optative | uxpen | uxpenv | uxpensi | uxpena | ūsi abenjĕn | ūs abenjĕn |- ! Obligative | spēn | spēnv | spēnsi | spēna | susi abenjĕn | sō abenjĕn |} ==== Negation ==== Adāta's negative prefixes m- and a- came to be considered as separate prepositions; m became n (because 'm' was not allowed word final in Adāta) and later became syllabic ('ṇ'). The negative 'a' became 'æ'. By the time we reach Æðadĕ '''ṇ''' and '''æ''' are interchangeable, although ṇ is probably used more often. They are simply put before the conjugated verb. Example: '''N̩ abensi iþki.''' = '''Æ abensi iþki.''' : ''not cry-PRES mistress'' : The mistress is not crying. == Syntax == === Noun Phrases === Noun phrases consist of a noun that can be modified by adjectives, appositions and genitives. The order is usually Determiner - Noun - Adjective - Genitive - Apposition. Example: '''iz ðipi jæl birajal æx Kāxd ovðjesk gæǽsun ''' : ''all child very bravest of Kaxd PL-king powerful'' : all the bravest children of Kaxd, the powerful kings === Verbal Usage === The '''Indicative''' is used for reality ('''ðoro hæfsi''' ''you are drinking''), the '''Imperative''' for command ('''īhæfsi''' ''drink!''), the '''Optative''' for wishes ('''ðoro ukhæfsi''' ''you want to drink'') and the '''Obligative''' for have-to or must constructions ('''ðoro sohæfsi''' ''you have to drink''). The Verbal Noun is used in relative clauses. === The difference between æte and æði === '''æte''' is used for temporary states, wherease '''æði''' is used for permanent statements. This distinction, however, only occurs in Indicative and Imperative Present. Examples: * '''Đoro si zēlul.''' ''You are here.'' (temporary) * '''Đoro æt mezaj.''' ''You are my father.'' (permanent) === Relative Clauses === Relative clauses follow the noun they modify. If the person acting in the relative clause is the same as the one it refers to, it takes the normal pronoun; if it is the object of the action in the relative clause, one has to use the oblique form. Then one needs a relative timeword ('''jwe''' for contemporarity with the main sentence, '''wez''' for something that happened prior to the main sentence), then the Verbal Noun and finally, depending on which pronoun (normal or oblique) was used before, the Subject or Object of the Verbal Noun. The Verbal Noun of ''to be'' usually is omitted, leaving only the relative timewords. Example: '''Jero rōln̩ aðuna æn jwe ædaxewljĕn je.''' : ''I-SUBJ love-PAST girl she-OBL PRES rape-VN I'' : I loved the girl I raped. '''N̩ rōla opaðuna ān æg wez ædaxewljĕn ān.''' : ''not love-PRES PL-girl they-OBL they PAST rape-VN they-OBL'' : Girls do not love those who raped them. === Passive === Because the Passive voice was lost, Passive sentences are usually active ones with an omitted Subject. Verbs are normally used in Singular. Example: '''Hupin jen.''' : ''defeat-PAST I-obl'' : Someone defeated me = I was defeated. === Simple Sentences === Usual word order is S-V-O, as can be seen in the following example: ; Jero hupin ān. : ''I-SUBJ defeat-PAST they-OBL'' : I defeated them. Negative Sentences, however, keep Adāta's V-S-O order: ; N̩ hupin je ān. : ''not defeat-PAST I they-OBL'' : I didn't defeat them. === Complex Sentences === The S-V-O word order is changed to V-O-S if the Subject is followed by appositional nouns or a relative clause: ; Ævin sjeb Sjenkĕnro, ðjesk xizor. : ''speak-PAST thus Sjenken-SUBJ king great'' : Thus spoke Sjenken, the great king. ; Weponĕpĕnĕv jen ovðjeskĕlĕs gæsusro æg wez babæzjĕn īl jen jwe ðipi. : ''belittle-PAST I-OBL PL-kingdom nearby-SUBJ they PAST name-PARTICIPLE to I-OBL like child.'' : The nearby kingdoms, who named me a child, belittle me. Adpositional phrases are sorted ''manner - place - time''. Other combinations are possible, but rarely used. ; '''Jero nun æd nælror īl Njedz gæb.''' : ''I-SUB go-PAST by horse to Njedz last-year.'' : Last year I went to Njedz by horse. == Sample text == '''Ævin sjeb Sjenkĕnro, ðjesk xizor, ðjesk æx læs æx Kāxd, mēxt æx Zæm un æx Tālo:''' '''īlnu jero æbṇ uv ōbagatjĕ æx mizaj, iz ðjeskĕlĕs rūlzro vi hēgon īl jen.

The nearby foreign countries spoke thus: "His father was a brave king. Alas! he conquered many enemy countries. And he became a god. But luckily, he who sits on the throne of his father is a child."'' ''When I, brother of the sun and moon, sat on the throne of my father, before I went to the foreign countries which were being hostile towards me, happily I went to the feasts of Ophai. I celebrated them to my benefit, and I rose my hand to the shining mother. I spoke thus: "My mistress, light of the stars, the nearby countries who name me a child belittle me. And they begin to attack the border of your holy land, my mistress! Strike the heathens down!"'' ''Ophai heard the words of my mouth. She rose me up and she gave strength to my arm.

His name, which means 'firesoul' in [[Old Albic]], characterized him well. In the year 1277 he founded the Society for the Strengthening of Elvendom. This party proposed industrialization on the basis of mineral coal and a steam-mill Lauchanáro had invented; socially, however, the society was ultraconservative, speaking out against naturalization of Celtic wage-workers and other reforms that were discussed at that time. Lauchanáro sought to be elected chancellor of the [[Commonwealth of the Elves]], and managed to win many followers. However, the High Table voted against him in 1284. ==Lauchanáro's Rebellion== This failure outraged Lauchanáro. He secretly built up a private army, and three years later, he instigated a rebellion against the High Table, supported by Celtic mercenaries he had hired for this purpose. The rebellion lasted 44 days, then it was squashed by the loyal warriors' guilds, and Lauchanáro had to leave the Commonwealth and retreated to Tartessos where he continued to build up his private army. ==War== In Tartessos, Lauchanáro formed an alliance with the king and the Carthaginians who sought to get the highly profitable tin trade between the Elvenisles and Tartessos into their hands. In 1288, Lauchanáro, Tartessos and the Carthaginians attacked the Commonwealth with a large number of ships and Celtic mercenaries. Lauchanáro's men in the Commonwealth staged a second rebellion to weaken the Elvish defences. After seven years of war, the Commonwealth of the Elves collapsed, and the Elvish trade network in the Atlantic was taken over by the Carthaginians. ==Aftermath== The Elvish civilization never recovered from this defeat. Celtic warbands raided the country, and more and more Celts settled on the Isles, and eventually, the country came to be dominated by Celtic warrior-kings and its population mostly Celticized. Tartessos, which had allied with Lauchanáro and the Carthaginians, was bitterly betrayed by its allies; it no longer played a major role in the tin trade, and went into decline. Tartessos became a pirate cove, and twenty years later it was destroyed by the Carthaginians.

*************tribe - [[Wikipedia:saigini|Saigini]] **************genus - Megadorcas ***************species - volans ===Ancestry=== *The now extinct ancestor was a much smaller hornless animal, apparently related to the Tibetan antelope, [[wikipedia:pantholops|''Pantholops hodgsonii'']], which was about 120 cm./4 ft. long, 90 cm./3 ft. high at the shoulder, and weighed about 30 kg./60 lbs. that lived in the [[Wikipedia:Ural Mountains|Ural]] and [[Wikipedia:Caucasus Mountains|Caucasus mountains]]. A strange mutation for wings gave it an advantage in escaping from predators. A descendant settled on the [[Wikipedia:steppe|steppes]], became a grazer instead of a browser, and increased in size. This descendant is the animal domesticated by the Ethrans. ===General Characteristics=== *Body Length: 210 cm / 7 ft. *Shoulder Height: 140 cm / 4.6 ft. *Tail Length: 50 cm / 50 in. *Weight: 250-400 kg / 550-880 lb. *The grayish brown upper parts are sharply contrasted with the pure white belly. This white area stretches up the ventral half (stomach-side) of the neck to the jowls. The grayish brown color extends down the legs, which lightens down the leg. Along the spine is a black dorsal stripe. The grey muzzle has a thin border of white. The summer coat is short and sparse compared to the very long, thick, grayer winter coat. The grayish brown tail, which marks the animal as bovine rather than equine, has a black tuft, with long hairs growing up the side. It is hollow-boned for lightness. The feathered grayish brown wings are 4-5 feet in length and when the marc is at rest, they are folded double as in the larger birds. The wing humerus is attached to the upper side of an enlarged scapula, the foreleg humerus being attached to the lower. The chest is rather massive containing as it does the muscles for both the wing and the foreleg. As with the larger birds, a running start is necessary to become airborne. The early ancestor merely jumped off the side of the mountain! The descendant still retains the musculature in the hindquarters for leaping. Five color variants have been bred, one for each of the orders of Ethrans (the elementals do not use steeds): gray for the archimages, palomino for the mages, sorrel for the archons, chestnut for the adepts, and brown for the guardians. Of course, breeding registers are maintained. Specimens of undesirable coloration are not bred (the bucks are gelded), but they are cared for until they die which could be as long as 30 years. The females are known as does. ===Ontogeny and Reproduction=== *Gestation Period: About 12 months. *Young per Birth: Never more than 1 *Weaning: By 12 months. *Sexual Maturity: After 1 year. *Life span: About 20 years. *The August-September breeding season yields foals born in late July through August the next year. Small groups of 2-5 females split away from the main herd, retreating to high grasses to give birth. The young can walk and run just a few hours after birth, and mothers and foals rejoin the herd after a couple weeks. They cannot fly until they are at least one month old. ===Ecology and Behavior=== *When left to themselves the marcs live in very cohesive herds which never become scattered. Led by an old female, the herds travel in single file, and the members appear to do everything - including eating, drinking, turning, and running - in unison. Unlike horses, however, there is little physical contact (like mutual grooming) among animals. In July they begin to molt and the males begin to follow the females in July, fighting amongst themselves through August for breeding rights. During mid-August, they begin herding the females into harems, defending them from rival males. By the time mating is completed they are able to fly again. Marcs are good swimmers, and during the summer months take apparent pleasure in bathing in rivers. *Family group: Maternal herds of 5-25 animals, mature males generally solitary, although bachelor herds of up to 10 individuals form during the winter. *Defense lies primarily in flight, but both hooves and wings make formidable weapons when used to protect a flightless kid. *Diet: Grasses and low plants. *Main Predators: Wolf, leopard, hyena. ===Distribution=== *The [[Wikipedia:steppe|steppes]] of [[Wikipedia:eurasia|Eurasia]].

It has four vowels; '''a''', '''e''', '''i''' and '''u'''. The lexicon is taken mainly from [[wikipedia:Sumerian|Sumerian]], [[wikipedia:Ket language|Ket]] and [[wikipedia:Lakhota language|Lakhota]], althought romance languages, navaho, beothuck (month's names) have aswell influenced the language. The grammar is a king of hybridization between sumerian, romance, lakhota and english grammars. An example of the language; '''Nubšuñízamutti hatnéwite núm lébej mé kasád ám yár. Tát táĥtetï ám ánm''' = In january two teachers ate poisonned fruit. They died within three days) ''(litt. October-in teachers two fruit with venom ate.

by <center><big>'''Institut Lingistic Bovlai''' '''Bovlai Institute of Linguistics'''</big><br><br> [http://www.geocities.com/xliponia/Foxlo.mp3 '''''Foxlo sin serm est foxlo sin hor''''']</center> ==A Brief Introduction== Xliponian (the letter '''x''' is pronounced [&#643;]) is an Indo-European language spoken almost exclusively in the Kingdom of [[IBWiki:Xliponia|Xliponia]]. It is derived from the vulgar Latin of the Roman imperial conquerors who occupied the region in the early centuries of the Common Era. The main feature that distinguishes Xliponian from other Romance languages is the soundshift suffered very early by some consonantal sounds. The labials, velars and dentals of the original (vulgar) Latin were transformed as follows: <center>[b] > [p] > [f] > [v] > [b]</center> <center>[g] > [k] > [x] > [g]</center> <center>[d] > [t] > [ts] > [z] > [d]</center> (The [x] sound – as in German ''Bach'' – is currently written as '''h'''; the [ts] sound is written '''ç''') This ''Lautverschiebung'' affected word-initial consonants, but not all, and some medial and (to a lesser extent) final consonants were also shifted. The alphabet – with pronunciations – is as follows: <center>'''a b c''' ([k]) '''ç''' ([ts]) '''d e f g h''' ([h] or [x] according to position and dialect)</center> <center>'''i j''' ([ʒ]*) '''k'''* '''l m n o p q''' ([t&#643;]) '''r s t u v w'''* '''x''' ([&#643;]) '''y'''* '''z'''</center> (*) in foreign or dialectal words The [&#643;] sound – written '''x''' – derives mainly from the Latin word-initial clusters [kl], [fl], [pl], which became [&#643;l]. Xliponian '''q''' comes to a large extent from Latin ''x''. Another characteristic aspect of Xliponian phonology is diphthongisation. The main vowel of the original Latin word becomes affected by that of the ending, generating evolutions like L ''panem'' > Xl '''fain''', and likewise ''cantus'' > '''haunt''', ''salix'' > '''sailq'''. Latin ''ae'' and ''oe'' became '''ai''' and '''oi''' respectively. The stress pattern is generally as follows: words ending in vowels are stressed on the penultimate, and words ending in consonants on the ultimate. As an example, the numerals from 1 to 10 are as follows in Modern Xliponian: <center>'''on – tou – çers – hautor – henc – seq – seft – ohto – nou – teih'''</center> ==100-Word Swadesh List== {| | I || you || we || this || that || who? || what? || no<small>(t)</small> || all || a lot |- | '''eco''' || '''çu''' || '''nos''' || '''ete''' || '''ate''' || '''hi?''' || '''hu?''' || '''non''' || '''çot''' || '''mux''' |- | one || two || big || long || small || human || man || woman || fish || bird |- | '''on''' || '''tou''' || '''maun''' || '''lonc''' || '''eqic''' || '''om''' || '''om''' || '''vemma''' || '''fiq''' || '''aib''' |- | dog || louse || tree || seed || leaf || root || <small>(tree-)</small>bark || skin || meat || blood |- | '''hain''' || '''fetixlo''' || '''arpor''' || '''semm''' || '''voil''' || '''raqi''' || '''horçeq''' || '''huiç''' || '''haur''' || '''sainc''' |- | bone || <small>(body-)</small>fat || egg || head || horn || tail || feather || hair || ear || eye |- | '''oq''' || '''atef''' || '''oub''' || '''hauf''' || '''hourn''' || '''hauta''' || '''fena''' || '''hirn''' || '''auri''' || '''ouhul''' |- | nose || mouth || tooth || tongue || <small>(finger-)</small>nail || leg || knee || hand || stomach || neck |- | '''naus''' || '''puca''' || '''teint''' || '''lincua''' || '''unca''' || '''hurs''' || '''ceun''' || '''main''' || '''bentr''' || '''houl''' |- | breast || heart || liver || <small>to</small> drink || <small>to</small> eat || <small>to</small> bite || <small>to</small> see || <small>to</small> hear || <small>to</small> know || <small>to</small> sleep |- | '''feq''' || '''hor''' || '''iecro''' || '''piper''' || '''mauncar''' || '''moirer''' || '''biter''' || '''auter''' || '''qier''' || '''tormer''' |- | <small>to</small> die || <small>to</small> kill || <small>to</small> swim || <small>to</small> fly || <small>to</small> go || <small>to</small> come || <small>to</small> lie <small>(down)</small> || <small>to</small> sit || <small>to</small> stand || <small>to</small> give |- | '''morer''' || '''oqider''' || '''naçar''' || '''bolar''' || '''eçir''' || '''bener''' || '''humper''' || '''asiter''' || '''star''' || '''tonar''' |- | <small>to</small> say || sun || moon || star || water || rain || stone || sand || earth || cloud |- | '''tiqer''' || '''soil''' || '''luna''' || '''qela''' || '''acua''' || '''xluib''' || '''saq''' || '''aren''' || '''teir''' || '''nupe''' |- | smoke || fire || ash || <small>to</small> burn || road || mountain || red || green || yellow || white |- | '''vum''' || '''inci''' || '''hin''' || '''arter''' || '''bia''' || '''monn''' || '''ruper''' || '''biret''' || '''valb''' || '''alp''' |- | black || night || hot || cold || full || new || good || round || dry || name |- | '''nicer''' || '''noq''' || '''halit''' || '''virc''' || '''xleun''' || '''noub''' || '''poun''' || '''roçunn''' || '''siq''' || '''noim''' |} </center> ==Some Points of Grammar== ===Plurals of Nouns and Adjectives=== <center> {| |''sg.''|| -a<sup>1</sup> || -e || -i || -o || -u || -C<sup>2</sup> |- |''pl.''|| -e || -i || -i || -o || -i || -Ci |} </center> <sup>1</sup> mainly for feminine nouns and adjectives<br> <sup>2</sup> C = consonant ===Personal Pronouns=== <center> {| | ||'''Nom.'''||'''Acc.'''||'''Dat.'''||'''Gen.''' |- |''1s''||eco||me||mi||mei (''fem.'' mea) |- |''2s''||çu||çe||çi||çei (''fem.'' çea) |- |''3s masc.''||to||te||ten||tei (''fem.'' tea) |- |''3s fem.''||la||le||len||lei (''fem.'' lea) |- |''3refl.''||om||se||si||sei (''fem.'' sea) |- |''1p''||nos||nos||nos||nosser |- |''2p''||bos||bos||bos||bosser |- |''3p''||li||tem||tem||tenen |} </center> ===Verbal Paradigms=== <small>(Alternative verbal forms in parentheses)</small> '''Eser''' "to be" -

Before that, two main alternative spelling modes were in effect beside the present one. They may still be seen in ancient texts and inscriptions. They are the ''Latinate'' and the ''Venedate'' spelling, based respectively on those used by several other Romance languages, and on Wenedyk. The main differences from the present mode are as follows [noted as Present < Latinate; Venedate]: *c < k; k *v < v; w *i < j [initial; both modes] *f < ph [initial; both modes] *i < y [before another vowel]; i *x < sc; sz *ç < th; c *q < ch; cz *h < h; ch [when sounded as German ''ich-Laut'' or ''ach-Laut''] Sometimes a circumflex or a tilde was written over ''a'', ''e'', ''i'', ''o'' for ''au'', ''eu'', ''iu'', ''ou'';<br> Sometimes an acute or a macron was written above a vowel preceding a doubled consonant (which was then spelled single). =The Babel Text in Xliponian= {| !1||In||çer||ert||on||serm||ac||on||mot||lincui. |- | ||In||earth||was [''3rd sg.'']||one||language||and||one||way||[of] tongues. |} {| !2||Vut||ha||salirinn||de||orient||ac||inbeninn |- | ||[It] was||that||they went out||from||east||and||they found |} {| ! ||hamp||in||çer||Xinar||ac||apiçarinn||inte. |- | ||field / plain||in||land||Shinar||and||they dwelt||therein. |} {| !3||Ac||tiqit||om||ad||om,||benit,||vahem||laçri |- | ||And||said [''3rd sg.'']||man||to||man,||come [''2nd pl.'']||let us make||bricks |} {| ! ||ac||hocuim||tem||in||inci||ac||gabuinn||laçri||hom||saqi |- | ||and||let us bake||them||in||fire||and||they had||bricks||as||stones |} {| ! ||ac||peçuim||hom||himenn. |- | ||and||slime||for||mortar. |} {| !4||Ac||tiqirann,||benit,||vahem||nos||hibiçait||ac||çur |- | ||And||they said,||come [''2nd pl.''],||let us make||us||city||and||tower |} {| ! ||hui||hulmin||fertincit||ad||hail||ac||heliprem||noim||nosser |- | ||whose||top||may reach||to||heaven||and||let us celebrate||name||our |} {| ! ||ot||non||sin||tibituti||in||çeri||çoti. |- | ||so that||not||we be||scattered||in||lands||all. |} {| !5||Auçem||teqinnit||Tomen||ot||biter||hibiçait||ac||çur |- | ||Then||came down [''3rd sg.'']||the Lord||so that||see||city||and||tower |} {| ! ||ha||aiçficarann||vili||Adam. |- | ||that||built [''3rd pl.]''||sons||[of] Adam. |} {| !6||Ac||tiqit,||eh||foxlo||est||on||ac||serm||tenen||est||on, |- | ||And||said [''3rd sg.''],||behold||people||is||one||and||language||their||is||one, |} {| ! ||ac||ete||hoifrinn||vaher,||ac||non||gabenn tesistir||a||çot||ha||hocitann||vaher. |- | ||and||this||they have begun||do,||and||not||they will give up||from||all||that||they think||do. |} {| !7||Eh||benit||teqinnem||ac||hofunnem||ipi||serm||tenen |- | ||Behold||come [''2nd pl.'']||let us go down||and||let us confound||there||language||their |} {| ! ||ot||non||gabet autir||om||lincu||a||om. |- | ||so that||not||shall hear [''3rd sg.'']||man||tongue||of||man. |} {| !8||Aciç||tibitit||tem||Tomen||eq||loh||ilo||ad||çeri||çoti |- | ||Thus||scattered [''3rd sg.'']||them||the Lord||out of||place||that||in||lands||all |} {| ! ||ac||hesarann||aiçficar||hibiçait. |- | ||and||they ceased||build||city. |} {| !9||Ac||ihirc||noim||tenen||est||bohut||Babel||a res a||ipi |- | ||And||therefore||name||their||is||called||Babel||because||there |} {| ! ||honvusit||Tomen||serm||a||çer||çot||ac||atte |- | ||confused||the Lord||language||of||earth||all||and||thence |} {| ! ||Tomen||sfirsit||tem||sufra||vaih||a||çer||çot. |- | ||the Lord||scattered||them||upon||face||of||earth||all. |} ''[Modern Xliponian Version]'' =Tintin Titles as Pointers to Xliponian Pronunciation= Interest for Tintin in Xliponia was fuelled by the Syldavian adventure (a ''roman à clef'' of sorts), and translations into the Xliponian language started in 1940, always published by Bernard & Croll. The main characters are called ''Tintin'', ''Milu'', ''Capitan Hadoc'', ''Profesor Trifon Geliçorf'', ''Carol ac Karol''.

Over time, Armavi grew into a fully fledged conlang with its own conworld and conculture == Distribution == Armavi has a total of 90 million native speakers and 35 million speakers who learned the language as a second or third (etc) language. The majority of speakers are concentrated in and around Parizhia, East Avrupea, and western Aghantia. There are also many speakers in north Ipriquia, however there, the language is inn decline in favour of Ipriquian-Avrupean languages. Armavi is also spoken in the Armavi colonies, which are scattered throughout the globe, mostly on the Aral continent, just north of Parizhia. Armavi is being considered as one of the base-languages for the International Language due to its ease of learning. == Phonology == ===Vowels=== Armavi contains the following vowels: {| class="wikitable" |+ '''Armavi vowels with Example Words''' |align="center" colspan="2" |'''Vowel sound''' |align="center" colspan="3" |'''Example''' |- !International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA !Description !Transliteration !English translation |- ! colspan="5" style="text-align:left" | monophthongs |- | {{IPA|i}} || Close front unrounded vowel || ''d'''i'''l'' || 'tongue', 'language' |- | {{IPA|y}} || Close front rounded vowel || ''g'''ü'''nbet'' || 'dome' |- | {{IPA|ɯ}} || Close back unrounded vowel || '''''ı'''mrtasa'' || 'infantry' |- | {{IPA|ɛ}} || Close-mid front unrounded vowel || ''d'''e'''l'' || 'heart' |- | {{IPA|œ}} || Open-mid front rounded vowel || ''s'''ö'''nmeğ'' || 'to play the fiddle / violin' |- | {{IPA|a}} || Open front unrounded vowel || ''h'''a'''let'' || 'health' |- | {{IPA|o}} || Close-mid back rounded vowel || ''mis'''o'''s'' || 'hate' |- | {{IPA|u}} || Close back rounded vowel || '''''u'''ğatar'' || 'large drum' |} As well as this, there are some diphthongs: '''ei''' is pronounced /i/, and harmonises like '''i''' '''ai''' is pronounced /e/, and harmonises like '''e''' As well as this, any unrounded vowel followed by '''u''', the '''u''' is pronounced /ɸ/ before unvoiced consonants, and /β/ everywhere else In any other cases where two vowels are next to each other (which is very rare), they are pronounced individually. ===Consonants=== Armavi also contains the following consonants (transliteration as well as IPA is given): <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} (m) || || || || {{IPA|n}} (n) || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}} (n) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} (p) || {{IPA|b}} (b) || || || {{IPA|t}} (t) || {{IPA|d}} (d) || || || || || || || {{IPA|k}} (k) || {{IPA|g}} (g) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || {{IPA|ɸ}} (f) || {{IPA|β}} (v) || || || {{IPA|θ}} (ť) || {{IPA|ð}} (ď) || {{IPA|s}} (s) || {{IPA|z}} (z) || {{IPA|ʃ}} (ş) || {{IPA|ʒ}} (ž) || {{IPA|ç}} (x) || {{IPA|ʝ}} (ğ) || {{IPA|x}} (x) || {{IPA|ɣ}} (ğ) || {{IPA|h}} (h) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || {{IPA|ts}} (ts) || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} (y) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} (r) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} (l) || || || || {{IPA|ʎ}} (l) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Fricative|| || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɬ}} (l) |} </div> '''Notes''' * The sounds ç and ʝ are allophones of x and ğ respectively if they are followed by any front vowels or the approximant j (y) * The sound ɬ is an allophone of l when it occurs on the end of words. When suffixes are attached that start with a vowel, it retains its pronounciation. ʎ is an allophone of l before /j/ (y) or /i/ (i) and another vowel. ==Vowel harmony== {| align="right" class="wikitable" style="margin-left: 1em" |- ! || colspan="2" | Front || colspan="2" | Back |- ! || Unrounded || Rounded || Unrounded || Rounded |- ! High | i || ü || ı || u |- ! Low | e || ö || a || o |- |} Vowel harmony is a big part of Armavi (and all Ayartaic languages). There are two types of vowel harmony in Armavi: ===Front / back distinction=== This distinction places the vowels in 2 groups of 4. There are 2 types of vowels here, front vowels, and back vowels. The rules of Armavi state that a (native) word cannot contain both front and back vowels. As a result, suffixes mutate to fit this requirement. The majority of suffixes that make use of this vowel harmony are of type '''a / e''', however, there are a few others. Any suffix listed as type '''i''', however, takes rounding harmony. '''Examples:''' (using the suffix ''ver'', which makes the plural) :Enüşe'''ver''' - girls :Pesar'''var''' - boys ===Rounding disctinction=== Using the above table, we can see that there are two classes of vowels here as well, round, and unrounded. There is a secondary rule that '''i '''and '''ı''' tend to become '''ü''' and '''u''' respectively after rounded vowels. '''Examples:''' (using the suffix ''lik'', which makes abstract nouns) :Genc'''lik''' - ''Youth'' :Düst'''lük''' - ''Friendship'' :Duş'''luk''' - ''Openness'' :Imr'''lık''' - ''Being on foot'' ==Consonant mutation== As well as considering vowel harmony when adding suffixes, there is another factor, called consonant mutation. During consonant mutation, unvoiced consonants change. ===Change to stems=== This applies when we are adding a suffix beginning with a vowel or the letter '''v''' to any word that has the consonants '''k, p, t, c, f''' at the end. The changes are as follows: : k --- '''ğ''' : p --- '''b''' : t --- '''d''' : c --- '''j''' : f --- '''v''' '''Examples:''' : Kitap (''book'') --- Kitabım (''my book'') : Toğuc (''bone'') --- Toğuja (''into the bone'') : Lefaf (''envelope'') --- Lefavvar (''envelopes'') ===Change to suffixes=== This applies when a word ends in '''k, p, t, c, f, s, ş, h, x, ť''' and the suffix begins with '''d, b, g, ğ, j, z, ž,''' (or the other way round). In these cases, : ğ --- '''k''' : p --- '''p''' : d --- '''t''' : g --- '''k''' : z --- '''s''' : ž --- '''ş''' '''Examples:''' :Gitmeğ (''to go'') --- Gittim (''I went'') :Kitap (''book'') --- Kitaptan (''Away from the book'') :Emezmeğ (''to buy'') --- Emesşer (''customer'') ==The verb "To be"== The verb "to be" has three different ways of formation in Armavi. ===Copular "to be"=== This is by far the most common form of the verb "to be" and exists as suffixes which are attached onto the noun. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |+'''Armavi copula''' |- ! Tense !! Past !! Present !! Future |- ! 1st Person sing | -dim || -im || -ažam |- ! 2nd Person sing | -diş || -iş || -ažaş |- ! 3rd Person sing | -di || || -až |- ! 1st Person plur | -dimiz || imiz || -ažız |- ! 2nd Person plur | -diniş || iniş || -ažış |- ! 3rd Person plur | -diyver || eyver || aavar |} Note that this is not as regular as would be expected. Also, any other mood etc must be expressed using the definite verb "to be" (see below) ===Verbal "to be"=== The verb ''"to be"'' is represented by the verb '''baynmağ'''. This declines like any other normal verb. Occasionally, the noun which someone is being can take the accusative case. This is common in eastern dialects, however, it is rare in the west. In [[Illinia]], '''einmeğ''' is used instead. This also declines normally. ===No "to be"=== When using a pronoun, any form of the verb to be is completely omitted. To indicate tense, time phrases are used, such as '''deyvarda''' ''(in the past)'', '''ayartta''' ''(in the future)'', '''emrüz''' ''(today)'', or '''ferda''' ''(tomorrow)''. ==Morphology== ===Noun suffixes=== There are essentially 6 noun cases in Armavi. They are: {| border cellpadding=3 align=center |- ! colspan=2|Case endings |- |'''Absolute''' |align=center|''&mdash;'' |- |'''Definite-accusative''' |''-(s)i'' |- |'''Dative''' |''-(n)e'' |- | '''Locative''' | ''-(n)de'' |- |'''Ablative''' |''-(n)den'' |- |'''Genitive''' |''-(y)en'' |} They always go at the very end of a noun. '''Notes:''' The absolute case serves the purpose of nominative, vocative, and indefinite-accusative. The accusative is used for definite direct objects. '''Examples:''' : Amfora şekasttım : ''I broke an amphora'' : Amforası şekasttım : ''I broke the amphora'' The dative case indicates ''to where'': : Eve gittim : ''I went home'' This case is also used for some objects - objects that are grammatically indirect but English considers direct. There is a slight difference in meaning when any form of accusative is used: : Sorjene divitti : ''She caught sight of the sun'' : Sorjesi divitti : ''She was looking at the sun'' In western dialects, the dative case refers to a direct object where the action happened only temporarily whereas in these dialects, the definitive-accusative is used for longer actions (not in standard Armavi): : Epistülesi sene ekrivdim* : ''I wrote a letter to you'' : Epistülene sene ekrivdim* : ''I was writing a letter to you'' ''*Students are discouraged from using this construction as it is only common in the Armavi spoken in western Avustrya Kücük.'' The locative indicates the location of something. : Evde cagittim : ''I ran around within the house'' : Her perşerden ekolda : ''All the students are in school'' The ablative case indicates ''from where'': : Evden gittim : ''I left home'' The ablative can also be used in comparisons (see later for more detail): : Ondan cabuktar : ''She is faster than he is'' As well as what something is made of: : Xaktan ev : ''Sandstone house'' As well as the cause of something* in passives: : Menden yıkılıyr : ''It was broken by my'' ''*The suffix'' '''''-toloo''''' ''represents "because of." This does not imply that the suffixed noun was the agent of the action, however, may have influenced it indirectly.'' The ablative also indicates a sense of ''"out of"''. See the following examples for clarification: : Dev pesarvardan : ''Two of the boys'' : Aželterin enüşeverden : ''The prettiest of the girls'' : Perižye vir ğuyuktarın mülkver Ağantyanda : ''Parizhia is one of the strongest countries in Aghantia.'' ''Note the use of'' '''''vir'''' ''as an indefinite article marker in the last example. When this happens,'' '''''vir'''' ''goes before all other adjectives, instead of its usual position next to the noun.'' The genetive is used to convey possession: : Enüşen ana : ''The girl's mother'' It is also used to modify spatial nouns as postpositions: : Even icinde kedim var : ''Inside the house, there is my cat'' Compare with: : Xunaşinver beden icin var : ''The blood vessels go through the body'' There is also a plural suffix, '''-ver''', which goes directly onto the noun. However, this suffix is not used with numbers unless an approximate amount is stated. Here, the definitive-accusative cannot be used, however, it can on normal plurals: '''Examples:''' : Dev bülbül gözdüm : ''I saw two songbirds'' : Dev bülbülü gözdüm : ''I saw the two songbirds'' : Dev bülbülver gözdüm : ''I saw approximately two songbirds'' There are other important noun suffixes that are not officially recognised as case endings, however, may serve some purpose there. They are covered later in this article under ''Armavi Lexicon.'' ===Verb suffixes=== ====Verb tenses==== There are 5 basic tenses in Armavi: ==Syntax== ===Simple syntax=== The basic word order in Armavi is SOV - the subject goes first, followed by the object, with the verb coming last. However, with adverbs or time or place, the time phrase always goes to the start. Indirect objects go before the verb. Any nouns that are used as an instrument go after the subject. Any other noun phrases or adverbial phrases can be placed anywhere. Of course, these rules are loose and change between dialects, or when something is emphasised (it is placed before the verb, or at the start) ===Questions=== ====Closed questions==== Closed questions take the '''interrogative''' mood of the verb. This is formed by taking the personal ending off the verb and putting the suffix '''me-''' before it: * Gidiyrim ''I am going'' ---> Gidiyr '''me'''yim? ''Am I going?'' * Rüvdüş ''You went'' ---> Rüvdü meş? ''Did you go?'' * Koştulažğ ''S/he has been killed'' ---> Koştulažğ ma? ''Has s/he been killed?'' : Ahmet vazara gitti '''me''', ekmeği xeritteğ? : ''Did Ahmet go to the shop to buy bread'' : Ahmet vazara gitti ekmeği xerit '''me'''değ? : ''Was it to buy bread that Ahmet went to the shop?'' This is usually accompanied by a change in intonation. As well as this, there is the particle '''ne?''', which can be put at the end of sentences, as if to ask for confirmation: : Ahmet vazara gitti ekmeği xeritteğ, '''ne'''? : ''Ahmet has gone to the shop to buy bread, hasn't he?'' In more archaic languages, the particle '''aya''', which is placed at the start of the clause, serves both these functions: : '''Aya''' Ahmet vazara gitti ekmeği xeritteğ? : ''Ahmet has gone to the shop to buy bread, hasn't he?'' : ''Did Ahmet go to the shop to buy bread'' ====Open questions==== Open questions are characterised by question words: * '''Ne''' - ''What, which'' * '''Neyec''' - ''Who'' * '''Neyže''' - ''Where'' * '''Ne bera''' - ''Why, what for'' * '''Ne vekt''' - ''When'' These question words simply take the position the answer would in a sentence. : Neyec var? : ''Who's there'' : Neyi keriyriş? : ''What are you doing'' : Meni neyžene gideniyriş? : ''Where are you leading me?'' : Ne bera şuvu kerdiş? : ''What did you do that for?'' : Ne vekt sinemana gidiyriş? : ''When are you going to the cinema?'' There are other question words: * '''Kodam''' - ''How much, how many'' The word ''kodam'' is borrowed from [[Aryan]], and it always goes at the start of the clause. : Kodam yeyilşer yedi? : ''How much food did he eat?'' : Kodam vekt tvaletvere gidiyriş : ''How many times are you going to the toilets?'' : Kodam portmoneme var? : ''How much is in my wallet?'' * '''Ce ...''' - ''How ...'' (an adverbial quantifier) Used in a similar way to ''kodam'': : Emrüz ferda ce ğuyukuş? : ''How tall are you nowadays?'' * '''Cera''' - ''Why'' Like ''kodam'', this word is borrowed from [[Aryan]] and also goes at the start of clauses. : Cera osu ketlediş? : ''Why did you hit her?'' * '''Cetor''' - ''How, in what way'' Likewise, goes at the start of the sentence: : Cetor haletin? : ''How are you?'' : Cetor bužana geliyrimiz? : ''How did we get here?'' ===Subordinate clauses=== Formation of subordinate clauses are generally easy. They take the position of a noun phrase depending on the type of subordinate clause it is (with a few exceptions) ====Adverbial time clauses==== These are clauses of ''when X happened, Y happened''. For this, the verb in the subordinate clause must be turned into a past participle by adding the suffix '''-erte / -arta''' (see further on for more detail on participles). Examples: :Gelmeğ (''to go'') --- Gel'''erte''' (''having gone'') :Aklamağ (''to clean'') --- Akl'''arta''' (''having cleaned'') As time phrases always go at the start of clauses, likewise this type of subordinate clause goes at the start. '''Examples:''' :Evim gelinertem, annem portu baz kerdi. :''My house having been reached by me, my girlfried opened the door'' :''When I reached home, my girlfriend opened the door'' :Köştülerte, düşmenver eğitti :''Having been defeated, the enemies fled'' :''The enemies fled once they had been defeated'' :Dev pe-orbitalvar hemeşe kererte, siğma-exette saxtılar :''When two p-orbitals overlap, a σ-bond is formed'' ====Relative clauses==== There are 2 ways of forming relative clauses: * The most common way is by '''Participles''' (see below). This is very simple, especially in simpler relative clauses where the entire clause can be expressed in a participle. The participle clause goes after the noun it is attached to. '''Examples:''' :Enüşesi sužada hören dittim :''There sitting the girl I saw'' :''I saw the girl who was sitting there'' Note: this is different from ''"I saw the girl when she was sitting there, which would be: "Şužada hörerte, enüşesi dittim" :Hafte-ye-piş madayesi mene deydeyilerte leğdim :''I read the book you lent me last week'' * The other way of expressing relative clauses is with '''relative pronouns''' and other related words. This is very uncommon and participles should be used wherever possible. The important lexical units for this type of construction are: **'''Ke''' --- ''who, what, which'' **'''Hemciz''' --- ''whatever'' **'''Hemkis''' --- ''whoever'' **'''Hemje''' --- ''wherever'' Like normal nouns, these decline like normal nouns. '''Examples:''' :Hemjene gider, daşarım. :''Wherever she goes, I follow her'' :Kelem kele yordum emrüz şekaste. :''The pen with which I used to write is now broken'' :Hemcizi istiyriş istiyrim :''I like whatever you like'' ====Conjunctions==== Conjunctions are rarely used in spoken Armavi, but literary Armavi dating from 1600 - 1800 AI are littered with them. The main ones are: * '''aat''' - ''then'' * '''ve''' - ''and'' * '''tağ''' - ''in order that'' * '''ke''' - ''that (used for expressing degrees of adjectives)'' * '''ama''' - ''but, however'' * '''at''' - ''but (switching from positive to negative)'' * '''cünke''' - ''because'' All these are borrowed from other languages. Out of the above list, only '''ve''', '''ke''', and '''tağ''' occur in modern Armavi. To construct a sentence using conjunctions is easy. The conjunction simply comes between two normal sentences. Often a comma is placed after the preposition. However, modern Armavi uses a completely different method of indicating conjunctins. Suffixes are added to the end of the verb in the second clause. These suffixes change in accordance with the laws of vowel harmony and consonant mutation. They are: * '''-den / -dan / -ten / -tan''' - ''and'' * '''-en ğuu / -an ğuu''' - ''then'' * '''-eher / -ahar''' - ''after'' * '''-ele / -ala''' - ''before'' * '''-işle / -ışla / -üşle / -uşla''' - ''while, during'' * '''-tağ / -teğ / -dağ / -değ''' - ''so that, in order that'' * '''-at / -et''' - ''but, however'' * '''-toloo / -tölöö / -doloo / -dölöö''' - ''because'' * '''-el / -al''' - ''that (used in degrees of adjectives'' '''Examples:''' :Gittim evim kleftilen ğuu :''I went and then my house was robbed'' :Ahmet vazara gitti ekmegi xeritteğ :''Ahmet went to the shop to buy bread'' :Tvaletvere gitmelidim rekreasyon kerişle :''I had to go to the toilet during break'' Note that personal endings and tense suffixes are only applied to the second verb if they are different to the main clause independently (as demonstrated in Example 1). ====Subordination with verbs==== Subordination with verbs happens when you want to say "I want you to go" or "I believe that he is not guilty." In these constructions, using the infinitive is necessary. The infinitive is formed by the suffix '''-me''' (+ possessive endings). A problem occurs, in that the infinitive is tenseless. In sentences where the main clause is in a different tense from the subordinate, time phrases are used, such as '''deyvarda''' ''(in the past)'', '''ayartta''' ''(in the future)'', '''emrüz''' ''(today)'', or '''ferda''' ''(tomorrow)''. '''Examples''' : Gelmeni istiyrim. : ''I want you to go.'' : Deyvarda Ahmet vazara gitmesi veliyrim : ''I know that Ahmet went to the shop yesterday.'' : Ayartta şokoladan baynavalmamı fekr keriyr meyiş? : ''Do you think that I will be able to keep away from chocolate in the future?'' ====Modal verbs==== A similar construction to the above is using modal verbs. However, here, the infinitive does not need possessive endings and has the usual infinitive ending '''-meğ''' as found in the dictionary. '''Examples:''' : Bedminton xayrmağı calışıyrım : ''I am trying to play badminton'' : Eve gitmeği istiyrim : ''I want to go home'' ====Subordination in comparisons==== These are constructions of the type ''"I am faster than I was yesterday"'' or ''"He is as tall as she is short"''. Like the above constructions, this is also formed using an infinitive. '''Examples:''' : Hayarda baynmağdan cabuktar : ''He is faster than he was yesterday.'' : Kücük baynmasıvı kelli : ''He is as tall as she is short.'' An exception occurs when the verb in the subordinate clause isn't certain - i.e ''"In someone's opinion"'' etc. Here, the '''dubitative mood''' of the verb is utilised: : Bayna amağıdan coğun ažel : ''She is much more pretty than she thinks'' : Bayna amasıdan coğun ažel : ''She is much more pretty than someone else thinks'' ===Order of Adjectives=== There are several factors to be considered when putting adjectives in order before a noun. Numbers always go immediately before the noun. An exception to this is when the number 1 ('''vir''') is used as an indefinite object marker (in some western dialects), in which case it goes before any other adjectives. With other adjectives, they are ordered in order of increasing intensity. That is to say, the most intense adjective goes closer to the noun, and the least intense adjective goes furthest from the noun. Compare the following: # Ažel kücük enüşe # Kücük ažel enüşe In Example 1, the girl is very small and slightly pretty, in example 2, the girl is very pretty and only slightly small.

"motsh" is the second person familiar accusitive for monotransitive verbs, but dative for ditransitive verbs. pvi motsh dvidz cuto 1PSINGNOM 2PSING'''''DAT''''' 3PFEMSING'''''DECH''''' throw I'm throwing it to you. Etimri has an interesting interrogative system. There are two sets of interrogative pronouns that are used, the responsive and the interruptive sets. The responsive set is used to question what another person has said or ask for more detail. The interruptive set is used to ask about a distantly related or unrelated topic and start a new topic or conversation. For example: A: pvi foug ke fjeka B: nav ngid ke fjeke? meaning- A: I it.ACC.MASC not like (I don't like it) B: You which.R.MASC not like? (You don't like which?) The responsive form is used as the question directly responds and expands on the statement. The second person could have more colloquially answered "ngid?" as it would have been clear from context what was meant. A more formal version would have asked, "nav ngid ke fjeke?", substituting the formal pronoun. An example of using the interruptive is- A: pvi foug ke fjeka B: pvi shizo. fong shoh tetsid njoc? meaning- A: I it.ACC.MASC not like (I don't like it) B: I come to understand. It time which is being? (I understand. What time is it?) Because the question is about another topic, the interrogative is interruptive instead of responsive. The usual intonation pattern is ignored for questions, where a rising tone is inserted. Informational questions, as shown above, substitute an interrogative pronoun for the subject, object, or compliment. Affirmative-Negative questions, however, use a similar construction to Chinese: A: nav shizor ke shizor? B: pvi shizo meaning- A: You come to understand not come to understand? (You understand, not understand?) B: I come to understand (I understand) The verb is repeated, once negated, once affirmative. General form is to put the affirmative form first. The imperative is formed by omitting the subject: pfete think Objects are kept before the verb. foug cutor it.MASC throw The use of the phrase, ''des njetsh ep'', it may be that, is used before imperatives to indicate a more familiar atmosphere or a more gentle command or even a simple desire or wish. For example: des njetsh ep foug cutor it be.SUBJ that it.MASC throw Would you throw it? An important issue, unaddressed until now, is the dynamic and static distinction in Etimri. A verb can be conjugated in a static or dynamic form, changing its meaning. For example, the verb pfetroush can mean think in its static forms, but means question or interrogate in its dynamic forms. Another example is cutoush, which can mean throw (dynamically) or fly (statically). The essential distinction is that dynamic forms denote a change in state whereas static forms simply denote action. This is most obvious in the verb ngro, to be (statically) or to become (dynamically). The most common example, however, is that of fjekoush, which means to love/like (statically) or to fall in love (with). For example: pvi motsh fjeka I thee love.STAT.PRES.PROG.1P.SING I love you. versus- pvi motsh fjeko I thee love.DYN.PRES.PROG.1P.SING I'm falling in love with you. Tenses are also quite complex, as evident in the article [[Etimri Conjugations]]. Two auxiliary verbs, ngro and dzoush, are used heavily by speakers. There are both perfect and progressive past, a progressive present, a future, a subjunctive, and a conditional tense. A few examples- The Static Past Perfect: pvi motsh fjekat I loved you. The Dynamic Past Perfect: pvi motsh fjeket I fell in love with you. The Static Past Imperfect: pvi dza motsh fjekoush I come from love you. (I come from loving you = I was loving you) The Dynamic Past Imperfect: pvi dzo motsh fjekoush I come from fall-in-love-with you. (I come from falling in love with you = I was falling in love with you) The Static Future: pvi motsh fjekur I will love you. The Dynamic Future: pvi motsh fjekair I will fall in love with you. The Static Conditional: pvi njetsh motsh fjekoush I would love you. The Dynamic Conditional: pvi njai motsh fjekoush I would fall in love with you. The Static Conditional: pvi njous motsh fjekoush (if) I were to love you. The Dynamic Conditional: pvi njash motsh fjekoush (if) I were to fall in love with you. The use of the past progressive is used to highlight the habitual, processive, or repeated nature of the action, while the past perfect is used to denote a single or quick action. For instance, pvi motsh fjekat I thee love.STAT.PAST.PER.1P.SING I loved you. stresses the singular period of love and its centralness to the action. Instead, pvi dza motsh fjekoush I come.STAT.PRES.1P.SING thee love I was (in) love (with) you. stresses the longer period over which the love took place and its possible role as backdrop, as it is often used for side stories or phrases only slightly connected with the speaker's main point. (I was in love (PROGRESSIVE) with you, while I ate (PERFECT) this soup.) The subjunctive is used to denote impossible or highly unlikely events, whereas the conditional is mere possibilities. In short, the indicative, conditional, subjunctive, and negative moods form a spectrum of likelihood from definate to possible to incredible to impossible, respectively, rather than the English structure, which focuses on the syntactic role more than probability. For example, des njetsh foug fjekoush? She be.COND him love? makes evident that it is questionable that she loves him, but does not suggest its implausibility. In the subjunctive, however, des njous foug fjekoush? She be.SUBJ him love? denotes that this is highly contrary to other evidence or previous knowledge. This all contrasts with, des foug fjeko she him love(s). which can no longer serve as a question, instead the conditional would be used. There are limited other roles for the subjunctive and conditional moods. All of the above could reverse meaning through a simple negative particle to negate the verb or one of several negative prefixes. ==Stress and Pitch== Stress usually falls on the second syllable. Accompanying this is a pitch system. Stressed syllables and syllables immeadiately following stressed syllables have a high pitch. Syllables immeadiately preceding the stressed syllable have low pitch. All other syllables have medium pitch. Thus: ted-RO-gez-e L-H-H-M ==Adjectives== Adjectives decline for gender. The masculine ending is <-d> while feminine adjectives end in <-f>. There are few irregular adjectives. ==Articles== Only two articles exist, zhi and hjo. Zhi is definite (specifies one of the object) and hjo is indefinite (does not specify as one particular object. There are no plural forms. There demonstratives, quantities, or numbers are used. In many instances the articles are omitted. ==Lexicon== [[Etimri Lexicon]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Etimri pronouns 2732 45808 2009-06-03T18:55:48Z Humancadaver101 212 /* Charts */ [[Etimri]] pronouns decline for the nominative, accusitive, dative, and possessive cases.

These postpositions can indicate certain senses of the word being modified, or they can indicate what might be indicated by prepositions in English. An example: Ql'myren qil' ghal'lad gh'qat'igh ig elilisiþ'yuq. ''That is my seafood in the refrigerator.'' ===Verbs=== All Bikalyo verbs end in ''-am''.

It had specific design goals of: *A 'softer' verbal flow, with a sound somewhat resembling French. *A writing system which is both logical, phonemically exact (no duplicate letters, etc), and useable in a mathematic mystical manner, similar to the Jewish and Greek gematria traditions. *Moral-relativist base (no terms for "sin," "damnation," "evil," "good," as absolutes) *Primarily mono- and duo-syllabic for core words; isolative morphology and syntactical forms. *Majority of regular rules, with minimal exceptions (to simplify ease of learning) ===Phonology and Orthography === The traditional alphabet is recognized to consist of 18 letters (5 vowels and 13 consonants). The core 18 letters are listed in bold below, with their written form, followed by their phonetic value, then an approximate pronunciation, then finally their spoken name. Additionally, there are 6 so-called "soft letters" which, although they have their own distinct letter-name, are written as variants of the 18 core letters. These are listed in italics. There are 5 diphthongs, which are not considered separate letters, but which are listed here for phonemic completion. Two semi-vowels (y and w) are used in Roman spelling, although they were not present in the traditional script. {| border=1 width=50% !

Keep in mind that while soft letters are considered to be part of the alphabet, diphthongs and semi-vowels are not (and strictly speaking, the soft letters are not part of the "core" system, as mentioned): <center><tt><font size=4>'''a''' b ''bh'' c ''ch'' d '''e''' g h '''i''' l m n '''o''' p ''ph'' r s ''sh'' t ''th'' '''u''' z ''zh''</font></tt></center> Although the Roman alphabetic order has been adopted for most standard usage, for symbolic writing and occult functions, there still exists the traditional order of the letters. Traditionally, the 18 core letters were divided into three [3] groups (called ''itre'' or ''l'itre'' in plural) of 6 letters, in the following order: *'''First Set''' (''Itre A''): a, pei, tei, sei, ka, ha *'''Second Set''' (''Itre E''): e, bei, dei, zei, ga, o *'''Third Set''' (''Itre I''): i, mei, il, na, ra, u The following patterns can be seen intrinsic to the groupings of the sets: '''A)''' The first member of the itre is [a], which is the low front vowel (and the first vowel in the alphabetic order). It is followed by voiceless core consonants, in order of their increasing "backness" of place of articulation (''i.e.'' [p] is most-forward, being bilabial; then [t], which is apico-dental and slightly further back; [s] which is apico-alveolar; and [k] which is velar). The final member of the series is [h], which, while commonly considered a consonant by literate people, may more accurately be described as a voiceless vocal resonant. That it, it is the voiceless equivalent of a vowel. '''E)''' The first member of the second itre is [e], which is the mid-level front vowel (and the second vowel in the alphabetic order). It is followed by voiced core consonants, in order of their increasing "backness" of place of articulation (and thus match perfectly as the voiced versions of the consonants in the A-set). The final member of the series is [o], which is the mid-level back vowel (and which is, of course, voiced, as opposed to the "voiceless vowel" at the end of the A-set). '''I)''' The first member of the third itre is [i], which is the high front vowel (and the third vowel in the alphabetic order). It is followed by nasal and liquid core consonants (both categories have extremely prominant vowel-like qualities, which makes them distinct from other classes of consonants), although these do not follow the previously-seen "place of articulation" ordering. The final member of the series is [u], which is the high back vowel. In summary, the patterns can be written as follows: *'''A)''' low-front vowel + voiceless core consonant (ordered) + voiceless 'vowel' *'''E)''' mid-front vowel + voiced core consonant (ordered) + mid-back vowel *'''I)''' high-front vowel + liquid/nasal (unordered) + high-back vowel What of the 'soft' letters? There is a fourth itre, consisting of these letters. The fourth set, while unofficial, is still sometimes used: *'''"Whispered Set"''' (''Itre Damai''): phei, bhei, thei, sha, zha, cha The pattern seen here is that the letters are ordered based on the place of articulation of the core letter of which they are 'variants' , and their voice-status (voiceless before voiced, similar to how the voiceless A-set precedes the voiced E-set). As diphthongs have never been considered part of the alphabetical system, there is no set which includes them.

Ruling over the Tarakasane for 546 years and over 27 Emperors, the dynasty was the first centralised dynasty of the Empire, representing a crucial break from the semi-feudal governmental tradition of previous dynasties. ==History== ''Main page: [[History of the Lein Dynasty]]'' ===Beginnings=== The [[House of the Lein|ruling house of the dynasty]] traces its history back to the [[Murna Dynasty]], when Lein Tegar berInsan was appointed to be the hereditary prefect of a county-sized fief near [[Lake Ernugs]], one of the sources of the [[Atgama River]]. By the late [[Hara Dynasty]], which succeeded the Muma, the Lein had become one of the most powerful nobles within the realm. In 156 Hara, [[Lein Durun berHikas]], the Great Progenitor of the Dynasty, led a revolt against the Hara over disputes regarding tribute, and after a [[Founding of the Lein Dynasty|9 year war]] succeeded in supplanting the Hara and establishing his own regime. ==Government== ''Main page: [[Government of the Lein Dynasty]]'' The Lein Dynasty was the first dynasty, ruling over the Tarakasane, to fully reform and centralise its government. This move towards centralisation began from the very founding of the dynasty; Lein Durun's successful revolt had convinced him of the dangers in giving power and fiefs. While the feudal system of bestowments continued throughout the dynasty, it was conceived of more as an honours system than one giving actual power (though there were some important exceptions). ==Economy== ''Main page: [[Economy of the Lein Dynasty]]'' ==Society and Culture== ''Main page: [[Lein Society]]'' ==Military== ''Main page: [[Military of the Lein Dynasty]]'' [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:Tarakasane]] Category:Lein Dynasty 2743 14195 2006-10-05T07:54:51Z Sirica 257 ''The main article for this page is [[Lein Dynasty]].''

[[Category:Tranon]] Lein Feudal Lords of the Nar Dynasty 2744 14228 2006-10-06T16:19:43Z Sirica 257 The House of Lein started its rise to power as one of many feudal lords granted fiefs by the Emperors of the Nar Dynasty; while they would end up toppling their masters, the Lein family nonetheless gained a great reputation as skilled defenders and supporters of the Empire throughout its tenure; the placement of their fief in the northern plains, facing both the nomads of the east and the numerous hostile kingdoms and states of the west, also helped it in this sense. The Lein fief was granted to Lein Asuteni berBasan in Nar 14 by Emperor Nar Nogul berEvison, for services rendered as a general during a campaign against rebel forces in the south of the Empire. After him the Lein would rule their fief until the end of the Dynasty, with frequent expansions from conquest and from rewards in victory. This is a list of the rulers of the Lein fief from Nar 14 onwards. ---- '''Lein Asuteni berBasan''' Lifetime: Naza 103 - Nar 25 (41 years) Tenure: Nar 14 - Nar 25 '''Lein Hisaba berAsuteni''' Lifetime: Nar 2 - Nar 38 (36 years) Tenure: Nar 25 - Nar 38 '''Lein Namito berHisaba''' Lifetime: Nar 26 - Nar 82 (46 years) Tenure: Nar 38 - Nar 82 '''Lein Verasur berNamito''' Lifetime: Nar 57 - Nar 96 (39 years) Tenure: Nar 82 - Nar 96 '''Lein Iharas berVerasur''' Lifetime: Nar 83 - Nar 104 (21 years) Tenure: Nar 96 - Nar 104 '''Lein Hikas berNimisur''' Lifetime: Nar 78 - Nar 120 (42 years) Tenure: Nar 104 - Nar 120 '''[[Tairazun Durun berHikas ne-i-Lein|Lein Durun berHikas]]''' Lifetime: Nar 102 - Lein 16 (46 years) Tenure: Nar 120 - Nar 132 (As Lord of the Lein Fief) The last of the Lein Lords, Lein Durun inherited the fief at the age of 18 and immediately continued his father's war against the other feudal states, which would end only 12 years later with his coronation as the Emperor of the Lein Dynasty. [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:House of Lein]] Emperor's Attendants (Lein) 2745 14223 2006-10-06T13:48:52Z Sirica 257 The '''Emperor's Attendants''' (Itrani: Ireshnon ne-Tairazun) is an office of the Internal Court, consisting almost exclusively of females, who serve as the Emperor's personal servants, responsible for such diverse things as his room, bedding arrangements, and even his bathwater. While it is administratively not an important office, its proximity to the centre of Imperial power often gives it disproportionate weight in the political landscape. These attendants are basically the equivalent of the Emperor's personal servants, and most often there are around 30 to 60 of them for any Emperor at one time; Lein Jungi, the tyrannical third ruler of the dynasty, had more than 400, many of them snatched from their families for their looks, and he often used them for sexual purposes. While this particular case is the most widely known and loathed, that other emperors also carry out such acts is also true. Lein Imperial Transcription Office 2746 14106 2006-10-01T09:43:33Z Sirica 257 The '''Emperor's Transcription Office''' (Itrani: Nebo Skresatami ne-Tairazun) is an office situated in the Internal Court, answerable to the Emperor himself, and responsible for his daily matters as well as for administrative functions including the drafting and proofreading of edicts, the recording of Imperial Conference minutes, and other such matters, in effect serving as the Emperor's secretaries. This office was founded by Lein Durun, upon his founding of the Lein Dynasty itself. A unique feature of this office is that it is staffed exclusively by females. ==History== The 12-year war that ultimately installed Lein rule thoughout the realms of the Tranon, as well as the highly centralised system of government that Lein Durun introduced to help ensure the future stability of the empire, also meant a hugely increased workload for the Emperor himself. Whereas most previous rulers of the Empire, or of huge Imperial fiefs, had to write their own edicts and read all petitions, this was recognised early on as being almost impossible for a single person to achieve, if he had the entire Empire under his view. It was to this end that the new Emperor, while consolidating his new dynasty and overseeing the expansion of the bureaucracy, organised the Transcription Office to better handle this work. Why females were chosen has not been made very clear, though the emphasis often is for females from non-noble families to be promoted directly to ths office for their skills; it is also well known that Lein Durun, who loved calligraphy but was far from skilled at it, simply preferred narrower, more elegant scripts whose authors tended to be women (Calligraphy was an art widely practiced by both genders amongst the Tranon, even though there were many females who were employed in dictation who actually did not know the meaning of the words they wrote). These females were often also chosen for their memory, and often did the work of looking for certain petitions, checking laws, and recalling the previous history of edicts, in essence serving as additional brains for the Emperor. ==Staff and Training== The Office comprises: *The Transcription Section, headed by the Imperial Personal Secretary who is also the chief of the office, and responsible for drafting edicts and recording minutes; *The Readings Section, a team of proofreaders; *The Literary Section, a team of talented poets who write for the Emperor's entertainment; and *The Domestic Section, a team of high-ranking servants responsible for the Emperor's room's arrangements, his dress and decorum, who along with the Emperor's personal eunuchs also serve as his go-getters and runners within the Palace. During the reign of Lein Loran, the four sections had staffs of 4, 4, 2 and 8 respectively; during the reign of Lein Sora, whose reign saw a huge expansion in the Imperial lands and accordingly in the workload of the offices, the sections had 12, 9, 4 and 10 people respectively. Most staff of the Transcription Office have served as scribe girls in noble houses or other offices (where young girls used as scribes, with precise handwriting but without the comprehension of what exactly they are writing, are valuable workers); they are often selected at the age of 13 to 14 for their handwriting, intelligence, and other merits. Once selected, they are then put through gruelling training, including lessons in rote memorisation and calligraphy practice for days on end, to train them for their role; most of these girls then officially join the Office at around the age of 17 or 18, being personally selected by the Emperor after several examinations. The skills of these girls in memory and speed of writing is legendary; many writers speak of 'mere young girls, who can recite a hundred edicts two days after reading them, without pause or hesitation'. While this may be an exaggeration, that the people are skilled and intelligent workers is beyond doubt. Many of these girls are often talented writers on their own merit, especially those within the Literary Section. Due to the nature of their memories, and the sort of information they are allowed access to, these women who serve the Emperor are also under heavy restrictions. Their building within the Palace Ground is under heavy guard, and they are not allowed to marry while they remain within the Office, which may be for up to 10 years. Six months before they are released, they are in effect locked away from the documents, in order to 'clear out' their memory and make it irrelevant. Even then, though these girls may be around 28 when they are finally eligible for marriage, they are nonetheless much sought after for their skills. Many of them, in the domestically oriented women's society of the Lein, became matriarchal figures of noble houses for their sheer ability. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Imperial Conference (Lein) 2747 14436 2006-10-11T04:59:18Z Sirica 257 An '''Imperial Conference''' (Itrani: Hakure ne-i-Taitere) refers to a routine conference of officials, held once every two to five days, in the Hall of Lasting Order within Anyesir Palace. These conferences are attended by many important officials, including important generals, ministers, and often delegates from the provinces as and when they come, and are a crucially important means of decision-making within the Imperial Government, especially for major issues that require the Emperor's personal approvement or overview. ==Attendance and Agenda== The usual Conference may involve scores of officials. Typically the roster of attending officials, as well as the agenda of the conference, will be prepared beforehand and submitted to the [[Lein Imperial Transcription Office|Transcription Office]], which then passes it on to the Tairazun for vetting. Once the Tairazun agrees with the agenda of the meeting, it is then held - normally the next day. The Conference itself may have anywhere from thirty to fifty officials in attendance, as well as various secretaries, specially appointed officials to present information, and others who enter for one reason or another. The core list of attending officials include: *The Ministers of the [[Six Ministries]], and the Overseers of the [[New Departments (Lein)|Two Offices]] *The chiefs of the main Offices within each Ministry *The General Grand Guardian of the Empire, as well as other generals who are ordered back for reports or for the submission of plans This list alone would have occupied nearly forty high-ranking officials, to which are added the representatives of the Transcription Office, as well as the Crown Prince (if one is appointed), the Empress, and the Emperor. [[category:Institutions and Routines]] Lein Imperial Constabulary 2748 14142 2006-10-02T13:42:13Z Sirica 257 /* Organisation */ The '''Imperial Constabulary''' is the name for the main police force of the Lein Dynasty. Mostly responsible for and based within towns and cities, this force is charged with keeping law and order within their area, including such tasks as arrest, protection and guarding of installations, and street control in case of riots. ==History== Before the Lein there was no central agency for law and order within the Empire, and even within separate feudal states such services were often restricted to the capital city of the fief itself. For the Lein fief, however, used to large-scale mobilisations or evacuations of the populace as and when war mandated it, the maintenance of such a force in cities and large towns was crucial to the running of the fief in emergencies, and the model was later used by [[Lein Durun]] and extended further by [[Lein Kasan]], his heir and the Second Emperor. ==Organisation== The Constabulary's forces are mostly urban, and most cities therefore have a Chief Constable, whose office is almost always within that of the Chief Magistrate. The Chief Constable himself is considered subordinate to the magistrate. Making use of the original Lein system, the men of the constabulary are divided into several ranks: *Weire Vorasen (Chief Constable) *Eovese (Superintendent) *Falvorasen (Inspector) *Vorasen (Constable) Within the city, the Chief Constable (who can hold an official rank anywhere from the Inferior Fifth to the Superior Fourth rank) has myriad duties, including investigating crimes, keeping order in case of riots, arresting wanted criminals should they be found, fighting fires, and leading relief efforts should disasters affect the city. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Imperial Councils 2749 14437 2006-10-11T05:00:33Z Sirica 257 The term "Imperial Conference" (Itrani: Hakure ne-i-Taitere) or "Imperial Council" (Itrani: Dezukar ne-i-Taitere) is used within the Lein court to describe any conference held within the court where the Emperor himself, or someone holding a personal seal of authority and letter of recommendations from the Emperor, is in attendance. As can be expected these councils thus take myriad forms and can be organised into many groupings, from the grand Imperial Summoned Conference, to small, secret meetings. ==Imperial Conference== While there is no clear-cut definition for what differentiates an Imperial Council from an Imperial Conference, the general agreement is that all meetings with the Emperor present, and which takes place within the Hall of Lasting Order, are considered Conferences. Another differentiating factor tends to be the size; Councils, taking place in rooms, may contain around ten men, but Conferences allow for hundreds to listen at the same time. '''Summoned Conference''' ''Main article: [[Summoned Conference (Lein)]]'' A Summoned Conference refers to any Imperial conference where, besides the routine members of the government in attendance, other officials of relevant departments or regions are also called up to attend and present their views and information. Given the often large numbers of officials this summoning process tends to involve, as well as the large-scale disruptions to normal administrative matters, a Summoned Conference is mostly used as an emergency conference to discuss affairs of immense effect and weight, such as major natural disasters. '''Imperial Conference''' ''Main article: [[Imperial Conference (Lein)]]'' An Imperial Conference is a routine meeting of important ministers and officials, presided by the Emperor, and normally held every two to five days (The requirement by law, as set by [[Tairazun Athain berLoran ne-i-Lein|Emperor Athain]], is at least once every seven days). The primary role of these meetings is for officials to present important reports, memoranda and requests or requirements to the Emperor, as well as to other ministers; other than events pertaining to the Emperor himself, however, these other requests and requirements bewteen ministries and agencies are simply noted down and sorted out between the relevant agencies after the conference. Before every Conference, the Six Ministries and Inner Court are to submit the core issues for discussion; these issues are then sorted out by the Transcription Office and condensed for submission to the Emperor. Conferences can sometimes take an entire day, from sunrise to sunset, and involve tens of decisions. All minutes of these conferences are then taken down (and often committed to memory) by the secretary of the Transcription Office. '''Imperial Council''' ''Main article: [[Lein Imperial Council]]'' If an issue happens to be too sensitive, secret or important to be discussed routinely in the Conferences, the official is then expected to submit a request for an Imperial Council. The Imperial Council comprises a small group of officials who gather to give necessary reports to the Emperor, and present highly important decisions for him; the work of organising such a small council is left up to the official, with the Emperor only approving to be present with a scribe, and woe betide the official who submits a council request without properly organising the meeting. [[category:Institutions and Routines]] Lein Imperial Inspectorate 2750 14110 2006-10-01T09:46:05Z Sirica 257 The '''Imperial Inspectorate''' or Samika (Itrani: Sabo Mikaraimi ne-i-Taitere, literally 'Office for Inspection of the Empire') is a governmental agency, founded by Lein Loran on the suggestion of his advisor Solu Mitandra; its respnsibility is to investigate wrongdoing and corruption in the civil service. As such it forms an important office within the Personnel Ministry whose aim is to manage the civil service itself. One of the several agencies within the government with the special right of torture, the agents of the Inspectorate also have the almost unique right of 'Bai Sagornon', or 'No Officials', which means that their agents (so long as they present proof of identity during the arrest) may arrest officials of any rank or precedence, without regard for the rank or precedence of either the arrested or arresting official. These wide ranging powers, however, are curbed by the complete limitation of the Samika's powers to the civil service alone. The main roles of the Samika include investigating graft, collusion between officials and certain interests which will therefore undermine the Empire, as well as alleged oppression of the peoples of the Empire. As a watchdog agency with powers over all civil servants, and answerable only to the Prime Minister and the Emperor, the Samika was one of the main reasons for the relatively corruption-free period during the reign of the Four Great Emperors and subsequent strong emperors as well. ==Quotes and Legal Basis== ''"Bai sagornon, bata trunam sagerimi ra sudremi, der sanati Varatan ne-i-Taitere ne-i-Lein, kisabanoi botarun su-sagor ne-i-Sabo Mikaraimi, masema kureit nanasekri madan ase gralonen botarimi."'' ‘No officials, regardless of rank or precedence, who serve the Imperial Government of the Lein Dynasty, may resist arrest from an official of the Imperial Inspectorate, so long as proper identification and a warrant for arrest is provided.’ [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Imperial Ministry of Justice 2751 14177 2006-10-04T14:09:34Z Sirica 257 The '''Imperial Ministry of Justice''' (Itrani: Dasabo Varunaimi ne-i-Taitere, literally Grand Agency for Justice of the Empire) is one of the [[Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty|Six Ministries]] that form the core of the Lein government. As its title makes plain, this Ministry is in charge of most judicial and criminal processes within the Empire, including urban constabulary forces, investigations into crimes, judgement and trial, and ultimately punishment or execution. ==Organisation== As a Dasabo, or Ministry, this organisation is headed by a Susarte, or Minister, an appointment of the first rank. The ministry is in turn divided into Offices, or Sabonon, each handling different aspects of the judicial process: *[[Lein Imperial Constabulary|Imperial Constabulary]] (Itrani: Vorasedun ne-i-Taitere), in charge of law enforcement in most cities, and in making arrests *[[Lein Judicial Office|Judicial Office]] (Itrani: Sabo Nivajimi), the central authority for all local judges, responsible for monitoring their judgements and informing area judiciaries of new changes in law *[[Lein Office of Punishments and Executions|Office of Punishments and Executions]] (Itrani: Sabo Kusuraimi ase Gakaseimi), the central authority for recording punishments and for approving executions, in consultation with existing laws and with approval from the Emperor. *[[Lein Office of Investigations|Office of Investigations]] (Itrani: Sabo Tenedeimi), the authority often required to investigate crimes of all sort, and sometimes also preventively; often working in secret, and in alliance with the infamous [[Lein Imperial Inspectorate|Samika]] of the Inner Court. The Justice ministry is also extremely important to running the Empire because, at the hamlet and county [[Administrative subdivisions of the Lein Dynasty|levels of administration]], it is the magistrates of the Judicial Office who serve as the representative of Imperial law and administration; as such the Justice Ministry is easily the most involved of all ministries in regional administration, and its powers in areas distant from the [[Meiron|capital]] is very great. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Official Ranks 2752 14469 2006-10-12T04:05:33Z Sirica 257 The '''Lein Official Hierarchy''' (Itrani: i-Sekalar Ranaba, the Great Hierarchy) is the name of the system of official ranks, devised by [[Sen Dufan berKanzane]], who was one of the advisors to Emperor Lein Durun. It consisted of a ten-rank structure, with further divisions to delineate the precedence and priority of officials within the same rank. The Lein was the first dynasty of the Tranon to create an overall ranking system for officials within the government, applicable to all departments and ministries. Prior to this, the previous dynasties had an impossibly complex system of titles, many with clear orders of precedence within their spheres but not outside; thus it was never clear if the Junior Overseer of the Highways was superior or inferior to a Tiger-Might General - a situation that often led to administrative chaos and sometimes even civil war. The ten ranks of the Lein had no names per se, but were instead identified by their costume and appropriate embelishments; by looking at a person in official dress, therefore, one could at least guess at his ranking (if not his precedence) and give appropriate tribute and courtesy. The income of the officials were also defined by their rank and precedence. Also, by the make of and the ornaments on their [[Seals|seals]], it was possible to differentiate roughly which tier of rank they belonged to. ==Seals== The seal, being the distinguishing mark of an official's authority and responsibility, is designed to give some information of the official as well. All seals have tassels strung through them, made of either black, blue or red string; these strings represent the Lower, Proper, and Upper precedences respectively, so that if two officials have the same rank their priority can still be determined. [[Category:Institutions and Routines]] Lein Administrative Units 2753 14414 2006-10-10T13:54:57Z Sirica 257 The Lein Empire was divided into several levels of regional administration, the better to govern a territory its size. While the main divisions have relatively clear definitions, there are also several old titles and terms that are still confusingly used within the realms. ==History== During old dynasties, political divisions were mostly dictated not by Imperial will but by feudal situations and subsequent decisions. Much of the Empire was divided up into 'States', highly autonomous and organised forces within the Empire itself; 'Fiefs', which were basically smaller but still mostly self-sufficient; and 'Villages', small fiefs whose leaders often were absent and who had to fend for themselves against incursions from other lords. The incredibly complex patchwork of states, fiefs and villages, which often changed by year as the lords of states instated new nobles or deposed certain fiefholders, made delineating any coherent political boundaries for administration very difficult. When [[Tairazun Durun berHikas ne-i-Lein|Lein Durun]] ascended the throne, he at first tried to follow the system while streamlining it to centralise power; while the feudal system was mostly abolished and appointed officials were sent to govern, the state and fief system remained in force. The historical ambiguity of borders, however, continued to plague the system; even if officials were not at loggerheads it was often hard to tell whose jurisdiction extended where. Because of this, the second Emperor, [[Tairazun Kasan berDurun ne-i-Lein|Lein Kasan]], decided to abolish the feudal system of divisions completely. After spending two years on planning, he then announced the new system of "Eleven Provinces", whereby the Empire was divided into 11 provinces, subdivided into counties and hamlets, with certain autonomous cities and ports, as well as certain family fiefs which were now well delineated. ==Divisions== *Arsun - The Arsun, or Province, is the largest subdivision of the Empire; while the original division of the Empire called for eleven arsunon, the later expansion of the imperial lands would later carve out another nine, such that the Empire also became known as "demagach Arsunon", the Twenty Provinces. Each Arsunon is headed by a [[Parasgach]], a provincial governor who oversees the branches of the administration within the province. *Sheten - the Sheten, or County, is the subdivision of the Arsunon. On average, each Arsun is split into anywhere from 18 to 30 Sheten, which along with the provincial capital can make up millions of population altogether. While a small unit in the perspective of the Empire, each Sheten can contain thousands of households and their development and local governance is essential to the economic health of the Empire as a whole. *Kasten - the Kasten is the capital of the Arsun, the seat of its administrative headquarters, and most often also the social and economic centre of a province. While they are on the same tier as the shetenon, their status tends to be higher as one takes into consideration their denser population and greater wealth. Many of these capitals are great cities in their own right. *Mitel - the Mitel, or Hamlet, is the further subdivision of the Shetenon. Each Sheten tends to comprise around 6 to 10 Mitelnon, a few hundred housholds each - a village, or a cluster of smaller settlements. [[Category: Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:Regions of the Lein Dynasty]] Prime Minister of the Lein Dynasty 2754 14462 2006-10-11T13:00:06Z Sirica 257 The Imperial Prime Minister (Itrani: Weir Sagare ne-i-Taitere) is the post of the highest-ranked official within the Imperial Government, second in position only to the Emperor himself. Responsible for coordinating ministries and basically for authorisation of most large-scale imperial projects, this is a post of both immense responsibility and correspondingly great authority. The Prime Minister's Office, or Sabo ne-Weir Sagare, is an office independent of any of the [[Six Ministries]] or the Ordained Offices, and the Prime Minister also has a personal staff to handle his affairs, much like that of the Tairazun himself. As such the Weir Sagare is often the most trusted, skilled and experienced official, the Tairazun's own right arm, so to speak. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty 2755 14456 2006-10-11T12:45:27Z Sirica 257 The government of the [[Lein Dynasty]] was divided at the highest level into the '''Six Ministries''' ([[Itrani]] Ron Dasabonon), respectively of Personnel, Finance, Rites and Education, War and Diplomacy, Justice and Public Works. This system, the first ever in the history of the Tranon to be divided functionally rather than by territory, was one of the major innovations of the Lein Dynasty as well as a sign and essential of power centralisation. ==History== The first few dynasties of the Tranon were to varying degrees feudal empires, whose emperors often ruled more by negotiation, bargaining and force of personality rather than by any rule of law. Accordingly, the governmental system was based on territorial divisions of the empire, where governors were deployed to various regions as representatives of the emperor. More often than not, however, these governors were helpless against the entrenched power of the local landholders - or, worse still, would ally with them and find ways to disobey the emperor discreetly, thus increasing local power at the expense of central power. The founding of the Lein Dynasty, therefore, called for massive reform to consolidate and institutionalise the power of the Emperor. That the ministries were now functionally divided and constantly in competition with each other, and that every ministry now had to send representatives to the provincial administrations, now meant that it was far less likely for collusion or alliances with local governors against central authority. The six ministries were respectively given wide powers of their own, while constantly remaining under the personal purview of the Emperor through the Ministers' attendance for [[Imperial Conference|Imperial Conferences]]. ==Organisation== As with the administrative redivision of the Lein Empire, the government agencies themselves are also very well subdivided for efficiency and clear delineation. The Ministries, along with two other offices - the Internal Palace Office, and the Office of the Outer Kingdoms - form the first level of division. A Ministry, or '''Dasabo''', is then subdivided into Offices, or '''Sabonon''' (singular '''Sabo'''), and finally into Sections or '''Sirtenon'''. The Ministers of the Six Ministries are recommended by the previous Minister or other high-ranking officials within the relevant ministry, and ultimately approved and appointed by the [[Tairazun ne-i-Lein|Emperor]]. All ministers hold the First Rank, Proper Precedence, which is the highest attainable rank for Lein officials; only the Prime Minister ranks above them, being in the same rank but of Upper Precedence. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Summoned Conference (Lein) 2756 14439 2006-10-11T05:02:21Z Sirica 257 An '''Imperial Conference with Summons''' (Itrani: Hakure mo-nanatanon ne-i-Taitere, literally 'Conference with Summons of the Empire) is a specially convened sort of Imperial Conference, whereby additional 'summoned' members of the Imperial and regional governments will also be in attendance to present their views and information. The numbers of people being summoned to attend conferences can reach the hundreds, though normally around 40 or 50 are summoned. Summoned Conferences are not often convened, certainly not a matter of routine, and most of the time are called only in reaction to large-scale crises or natural disasters. As the saying goes, "Conference summons are as pigeons in the Tandusar cliff holes" (The Tandusar cliffs are a series of cliffs rising nearly 80 metres above the Meidorien River; their narrowness means that in event of massive flooding the river may reach halfway up the cliffs, driving out the pigeons and creating the sort of catastrophe that would necessitate a summoned conference). ==History== While Imperial Conferences were a commonplace event even in dynasties before the Lein, and became a crucial part of decision-making during the dynasty, no provisions were made for adding exra members to the conferences in case of emergency; the chain of command of the ministries was seen as sufficient to deal with most issues. The first case of people being summoned specifically for an Imperial Conference, from outside the capital, therefore, was not during the reign of Lein Durun the Founding Emperor but rather Lein Kasan, the second Emperor, during whose reign the Anaman River burst its banks in massive flooding that killed nearly 30,000 people and left a million homeless; deciding that the chain of command was far too slow, he drafted an urgent letter to be sent to all major local officials in the region, as well as logistics officials of surrounding provinces, demanding information and plans to be sent to the capital as soon as possible. This letter, starting "The Empire orders the presence..." (Itrani: "Taitere pures nasalur..."), a beginning which has since become known to the general public and is sometimes used as a saying to indicate a calamity, eg. ''The harvest this year is such the Empire is ordering my presence''.

[[Category:Lein Dynasty]] Battle of Talumze 2758 14446 2006-10-11T06:07:56Z Sirica 257 {{Warbox |conflict= Battle of Talumze (Garzas ne-Talumze) |part of= Nar-Kudam Wars |date= 14-6-Nar 87 |place= Talumze Field, [[Natoyan Province]] |result= Nar (Lein) Victory |1= [[Nar Dynasty]] ([[House of Lein|Lein]] Fief) |2= Kingdom of Kudam |1comd= Lein Verasur berNamito |2comd= Prince Hastasa, Prince Ganaus |1str= 11,000 foot, 14,000 cavalry |2str= 38,000 foot, 3,600 cavalry |1cas= 2,600 killed or wounded |2cas= Around 7,000 killed/wounded; 8,200 prisoners }} The '''Battle of Talumze''' (Itrani: Garzas ne-Talumze) was a battle in the war between the Nar Dynasty, represented by the Lein lords of the north, and the Kingdom of Kudam, during the 87th year of the Nar and the 66th year of the Lein's rule in the north. A great victory for the Lein lords, this battle was historically important for several reasons: the sheer cost of the battle broke the power of the kingdom, which had been both a great annoyance and threat to the Empire since the middle 70s, removing the threat for the next 35 years; also, the battle was a great boost in the reputation of the relatively small Lein fief, especially compared with the dismal failures of other provinces in the defence of the Empire. This would later prove valuable political capital in the Lein's struggle for supremacy in the north, and eventually the whole, of the Nar Empire. ==Background History== While the Nar Dynasty in its beginning years had been a dominant power in the southern lands and the Meidorien Valley, its power north of those regions had always been under threat from the so-called Western Kingdoms, the peoples of the west races who had proved a constant thorn in the flesh of the Tranon ever since the birth of the Empire. [[Category:Battles of the Lein Dynasty]] Cavalry of the Lein 2759 14319 2006-10-08T15:42:10Z Sirica 257 The cavalry has always been a crucial part of warmaking for the Lein, a feature inherited from their old power base being situated in the northern plains to the south of the river Kiranava. As a result, after their reunification of the Empire, the Lein dynasty's army for the first time incorporated cavalry tactics into their army on a massive scale. ==Before the dynasty== The original fief of the Lein family, when they served the Nar Dynasty as a feudal house, comprised mostly plains to the south and east of the river Kiranava, straddling another river called the Loruse; a large part of these lands, not very fertile or suitable for crops but good enough for an abundance of grass and grazing, was therefore used to rear horses. Throughout the Nar Dynasty's history, and especially as its central authortiy began to decline, the Lein cavalry became increasingly prominent within the Empire as it defended both the Empire and its own territories from aggressors; on the fields of [[Battle of Talumze|Talumze]] and [[Battle of Three Tree Ford|Niros]] cavalry played decisive parts in the Lein victories, while the invasion of Lein by the neighbouring fief-state of Banten was also defeated with the heavy use of cavalry. Organisation of the Lein Imperial Army 2760 14405 2006-10-10T08:04:04Z Sirica 257 /* Units of the Navy */ The Imperial Army of the Lein was, in its time, one of the most formidable military forces in the whole world; its founding itself was an innovation of the newly centralised imperial system it served. Organised to a degree that was simply impossible for earlier dynasties, the army was forged into a superior force, both in training and discipline. ==Units of the Army== The smallest unit of the army is the Line or "teo", which contains 10 men. Five lines make a unit called "nartun", translated as "spur", of 50 men; 6 spurs make a "kanawa", or streaming banner, of 300 men. Five kanawanon then make a "burose", or "flag", of 1,500 men; and four burosenon then make one March, the main organisational unit of the army, with 6,000 fighting men and maybe up to 3,000 auxiliaries and support personnel. Three of these Marches combine to make an Army, with 18,000 men; and five Armies make the largest unit of the Army, a Grand March of 90,000 men, capable of launching extended campaigns and independent movement to better cope with the large size of the Empire. While armies identify themselves as part of a certain Grand March, however, it is not often that entire such units are mobilised; this would pose massive logistics problems. ==Units of the Navy== The smallest unit of the navy is naturally the single ship, though the nature of naval warfare in those days make single ship combat highly unlikely; ships are grouped into groups of ten, known as a "kuntari" or "squad". Five kuntarinon make a "tasaga", or squadron, and two to three tasaganon make a fleet, which in [[Itrani language|Itrani]] is known as "gosare".

As with all previous dynasties, the Emperors of the Lein had several signs of their authority - the Sceptre, the Seal, the Tiara, as well as the use of a [[Rafangas|heraldic animal]]. ==Imperial Sceptre== The Imperial Sceptre, shaped like a scabbard of a sword and sometimes a real scabbard with a real ornamented sword within, is the symbol of a Lein Emperor's military power and command. Normally made of snow-white jade mined in the eastern mountains, it is then intricately carved to the specifications of the Emperor; every Emperor thus has his own Sceptre, which must be presented within a year of his accession. ==Imperial Seal== Like the Imperial Sceptre, the Imperial Seal is also personalised for every Emperor, and is carved with his signature and the words Nikaile Hiruva (Ever Victorious) and Varya Hiruva (Always Virtuous). Mostly carved in the shape of a circle, the Seal is then adorned richly with carved jade and wrought gold and silver. As with the Sceptre it must be presented within a year of the accession of the Emperor, and again like its counterpart it is also a representation of the Emperor's power - but this time in civil matters. [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:House of Lein]] Rafangas 2765 14171 2006-10-04T13:46:58Z Sirica 257 The '''Rafangas''' is a mythical beast that plays a large part in the mythology of the Tranon. A majestic animal it serves as the steed of many gods and goddesses, though it is most often linked with [[Nikela]], the herald and sounder of victory for the gods. Historically it is important as being the heraldic and symbolic animal of the [[Lein Dynasty]]. ==Features and Mythology== The Rafangas has a mixture of features of animals from all over the Trandimir Empire; its head was that of a lion, and its body and hooves those of horses, both of which were relatively common in the northern plains; it had the long bushy tail of the squirrel, ubiquitous in the southern woods; and it had four wings of the great eagles that made their nests in the eastern Benakaru Mountains. As such it is a potent symbol of the entire Trandimir subcontinent over which the Tranon and its kings held sway. Said to be a fierce guardian against evil, and swift both on foot and on the wing, it is used as a steed for many of the gods; the steed of the God of Clouds Hursha, for example, is a white Rafangas named Sarsakan. Because of its powers the Rafangas is often used as a guardian animal, placed at the gates of temples or the residences of the powerful. The gates of [[Anyesir Palace]], the main palace of the Naza, Nar, and Lein, had [[The Gate Guards of Anyesir|four such statues]]: a pair flanked the bridge across the moat leading to the Central Gate, and a much larger second pair at the gate itself, standing nearly 16 metres tall, 19 m wide, and 21 m long. In mythology Rafangasnon are [[Nikela and the Rafangas|linked]] to two deities mostly: [[Basora]], the stable-guard of the gods, and Nikela the goddess of victory. For this the Rafangas, especially that beast named Shura (Itrani "Shadow") which was Nikela's steed, is considered a symbol of cunning and victory through strategy. ==Political and Historical Significance== The Lein was not the first dynasty to use the Rafangas as its symbol; the Naza, Nar, and even several kingdoms of the Chaos made use of this animal as a sign of royal or imperial power. Certainly, though, it was the dynasty which carried the symbol the farthest and used it most extensively. The [[Imperial Seal (Lein)|Imperial Seal]] of Lein Loran, made from a single piece of snow-white jade, had a finely sculpted figure of a rearing Rafangas in gold on top; while the throne that Lein Durun first commissioned was flanked with eagle wings and had the lion's head over the head-rest. The symbol of this imperial beast was often simplified to just its wings, creating a symbol of four arches known as the Wings of Glory. Unlike representations of the whole animal, this symbol was not reserved for the Emperor but could also be used as a general symbol of the Lein itself, and thus appears in many banners and flags of imperial offices and agencies. [[Category:Religion and Mythology of the Tranon]] Nikela 2766 14238 2006-10-07T03:17:13Z Sirica 257 '''Nikela, Bringer of Victory''' (Itrani: Meruse Nikela, Netaimun Nikalaimi) is an important goddess in the religion of the Tranon. Personification of many qualities - the name Nikela itself means "Well-planned Victory" - she is seen as the patron saint of generals and leaders. The Lein, being originally a family of generals, therefore have a special reverence for Nikela, and her symbol riding on a [[Rafangas]] is one of the enblems of the Imperial House. ==Description== Nikela is the daughter of [[Barrun]], the God of War and Conflict, and the twin brother of [[Lesani]], the God of Courage and patron god of soldiers.

It shows heavy influence from Quechua and Swahili, despite the fact that its population is generally descendended from Spanish and Cantonese speakers. It is believed that Swahili-speakers from the northeast and possibly also Quechua-speakers from the northwest invaded and to varying degrees installed their language(s) as the official language of the later Kang-Eur people. More recently, [[Korce]] speakers have influenced it, after their dispersal throughout central [[Lheinead]]. ==Phonology== */t k q p pʰ tʰ kʰ ʔ t' k' θ s ʃ x h r ʀ l ʟ m ɱ n ŋ/ **<t k q p ph th kh ' t' k' f s z x h rr r l ll m mn n ng> */ɑ e i u/ **<a e i u> */ɑ~ i~ u~/ **<aa ii uu> *Phonological Constraints: **(C)V **/ʔ/ cannot begin a word ==Allophony== */t k q p pʰ tʰ kʰ θ s ʃ x/ > [d g ɢ b bʰ dʰ gʰ ð z ʒ ɣ] medially */ti/ > [ʧi] or [ʤi] */xi/ > [çi] or [ʝi] */ni/ > [ɳi] */θu/ > [fu] or [vu] */ɱi ɱu/ > [mi mu] ==Pronouns== [[Sezara pronouns]] ==Syntax== Sezara is highly isolating and SVO.

It would also lead to the bloodiest war in the history of the Lein, though the contest was highly unequal: while around 46,000 Lein soldiers died, two-thirds from disease rather than war, it is estimated that around 4 to 5 million Jichei died during the war and the subsequent reprisal operations. ==Background and causes== The Jichei kingdom was the most northerly, richest, and most powerful of the great array of northwestern kingdoms which Sora's army had mostly managed to destroy over two decades and several great campaigns; it would also have been one of those extinct kingdoms if Sora had had his way. During preparations for a campaign against them in Sora 23, however, the Meidorien River unexpectedly flooded its banks, devastating thousands of [[kir|kirnon]] of prime farmland and displacing hundreds of thousands of people; because of this the campaign was shelved to deal with the disaster, and by the time the Empire had recovered Sora had also gained a more sober assessment of the formidably fortified cities in the Jichei kingdom. For these factors he instead declared a campaign in the northeast and sent envoys to the Jichei; and in the 10th month of Sora 26 a treaty was sealed, fixing the Jichei-Lein border and promising lasting peace. Events over the next years would overturn the peace, however. In Sora 28 the King of the Jichei was deposed in a coup, and the subsequent struggle between his four sons and corresponding factions eventually led to the crowning, seven months later, of King Kupiri. Aged 22, he was well known to be a dissolute and weak ruler, quick to anger but often vacillating on state issues, and completely under the control of a group of court ministres. When, in autumn the following year, the [[Tairasantha Suin Areya|Empress Areya]] passed away and the Lein Dynasty declared a one-year period of national mourning, the Jichei ministers were quick to take advantage of this period to attempt extending their control over the Lein border, aiming specifically for the port of Nasubar about 85 [[iri|irinon]] south of the border. Not wanting to break the mourning by declaring war, Sora was left with no choice but to seek peace and plan his retribution later; he sent several emissaries, as well as relaying instructions to the representative in Jichei, [[Purinzun Rusangel berAmira ne-i-Lein]], to seek peace. The Emperor was even prepared to cede the port to them, as well as all coastal lands between the border and the port, if they so wished; however, at the subsequent meetings with the King, the stakes were raised: not just the port, but all four counties around the port which made up the north of the new province of Isoyara, was demanded. The prince flatly refused, and the meeting broke up. The final straw came two days later, when on the orders of some ministers a group of assassins rushed the Lein residence within the capital city of Kanugar, and Rusangel as well as his family and all the emissaries within, nearly 70 men in all, were brutally killed. When the incident reached the ears of the Emperor he was said to have fainted in grief at the loss of one of his most capable nephews, and remained comatose for two days; when finally he awoke, he declared a period of mourning for Rusangel as well, but kept it to six months so as not to extend the total period of mourning. Meanwhile, even as the nation remained in a state without war, the army was already being geared up for the revenge intended upon the Jichei, while a subsequent emissary continued a policy of fake submission by ceding all four counties, as well as giving gifts to the Jichei King worth nearly 30,000 [[Currency of the Lein Dynasty|utanon]]. ==Numbers and Preparation== While the exact numbers of the Lein expedition continue to be disputed, what is beyond dispute is that the mobilisation was on a scale never before undertaken or even planned by the Dynasty. Under the Tairazun's personal orders, two full Grand Marches - the Hunters and the Shieldbearers - were mobilised, as well as his Household Guard of 50,000, and an additional 30,000 trained archers levied from other armies and units. This made for a land force of nearly 360,000 soldiers. Given the long coastline and powerful navy of the Jichei the Lein also took time to prepare an equally overwhelming force. Five fleets of warships, numbering nearly 850 ships, took part in the invasion, aimed at launching attacks on major ports, blockading them, and destroying or capturing the navies held therein. This naval force itself held nearly 35,000 men, while an additional fleet of 600 transport ships [[Category:Military of the Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:Wars of the Lein Dynasty]] Battle of Sinoka Field 2774 14445 2006-10-11T06:06:47Z Sirica 257 {{Warbox |conflict= Battle of Sinoka Field (Garzas ne-raile Sinoka) |part of= Lein-Jichei War |date= 2-10- Lein 149 |result= Decisive Lein Victory |1= Lein Dynasty |2= Jichei Kingdom |1comd= Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein |2comd= Aras Barsun, Porades Barsun |1str= 56,000 infantry, 80,000 cavalry, 28,000 archers |2str= around 60,000 soldiers, plus nearly 50,000 militia |1cas= around 1,800 killed, 3,000 wounded |2cas= around 32,000 killed and wounded, 45,000 captured }} The '''Battle of Sinoka Field''' (Itrani: Garzas ne-raile Sinoka) was a battle between the [[Lein Dynasty|Lein Empire]], under [[Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein|Emperor Sora berAthain]], and the [[Jichei Kingdom]]. The first major battle between the two great powers, it lasted three days between the 11th and 14th days of the 9th month, of the 33rd year of Emperor Sora's reign. The battle was a great victory for the Lein army, which annihilated most of the force sent to block their invasion of the Jichei, freeing the way to the capital. It was also here that Tairazun Sora ordered the first of a long series of atrocities that typified the terrible war between the Empire and the Kingdom. ==Background== The [[Lein-Jichei Campaign]], launched to avenge the death of Lein emissaries and the humiliating ceding of Lein lands to the Kingdom of Jichei while the Empire was in mourning for the [[Tairasantha Suin Areya|Tairasantha]], attacked the kingdom along three routes. While a strong force of cavalry tore into the kingdom from the east, systematically looting and ravaging villages to provoke a response from the royal army, the main force under Tairazun Sora advanced up the coastal route, first accepting the surrender of the former Lein commander of the port of Nasubar, and then advancing into Jichei proper once the pacification of the former Lein territories was about done. Crossing the old border in late September, the Lein force soon ran into resistance as it had expected; the Jichei King had sent a force of 60,000 men, probably comprising mainly infantry, under two generals known as the Barsun brothers to block the path of the invading army.

His rule preceded that of [[Tairazun Athain berLoran ne-i-Lein|Emperor Athain berLoran]], and he ruled for sixty years from the 117th to the 177th year of the [[Lein Dynasty]]. His posthumous title was [[Posthumous Titles of Lein Emperors|Great Martial Emperor]]. The rule of Sora, known by many titles including the "Great Martial Years" and the "Great Order of the World", is famous for being an age of immense expansion; Sora declared war upon several of the longstanding enemies of the Empire, and with a greatly reformed and strengthened army successfully crushed many of those opponents, more than doubling the extent of the Empire. Additionally, he undertook the construction of a mighty navy which first explored, traded with, then extended Imperial control over several tribal alliances on other continents, setting up Lein rulers over the locals, and extending Tranon culture to places which had never been thus exposed before.

By far the Emperor's most trusted general, he was also one of the greatest tacticians and strategists ever seen in the history of the Tranon, and over his career racked up an astonishing list of victories in the service of the Empire. ==Childhood and Youth== Van Itei was born to Van Mimar berTarisun, a blacksmith of Nai County in Azabor Province, and Tan Riena berSasuri nanMimar, his first wife. The eldest of the family, with two sisters and a brother, Van Itei took on considerable responsibilities in his family even as a child, helping to take care of his siblings and also at the smithy. Since by family tradition the youngest child was the one who took over the family trade and responsibilities, as the older child Itei was left to strike out on his own. Fascinated by the army since childhood, he lied to a recruiter that he was already 17 when in fact he was only 15, and was admitted into the army as a cavalry trooper; full of dash and always enthusiastic, he was soon promoted to command a teo, and then a nartun, of cavalry. His cavalry unit, posted nearly 220 irinon east of [[Meiron]], was unexpectedly recalled to a much closer position along the river plains in Athain 31, supposedly as the [[Tairazun Athain berLoran ne-i-Lein|Tairazun's]] health deteriorated and it seemed like he would not have long to live. In turn this move would put the soldier in position for contacts that would change his life and career. As the Tairazun lay dying, and his sons were recalled from all over the Empire, Van Itei was ordered to increase the frequency of patrols to prevent undesirable elements entering the city during this tense period; while on patrol, he stopped a suspicious carriage-riding couple, only to be entangled in the struggle for accession of the eventual next Tairazun.

[[Category:Personalities of the Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:House of Lein]] Category:Personalities of the Lein Dynasty 2780 16250 2006-11-21T03:14:37Z Christina 18 This category lists some famous personalities of the Lein Dynasty, including rulers and famous or infamous generals and officials. [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:People]] Kor Sanbe berTase 2781 14320 2006-10-08T15:57:50Z Sirica 257 /* Famous Works */ Kor Sanbe berTase (Athain 2 - Sora 27) is a famous bladesmith who was appointed [[Lein Emperor's Smiths|Emperor's Swordsmith]] during Lein Sora's reign. Through the course of his long career under the Emperor, who appointed him on Sora 5, he forged many swords both for the Emperor and his family, as well as for other generals and famous personalities with the Emperor's approval. ==Famous Works== Working for none other than the supreme authority of the [[Lein Dynasty|Lein Empire]], many of Sanbe's works have naturally become very famous due to their associations with the greatest men of Sora's time. These are some of his most famous swords. '''Navarasna''' Navarasna, which could be translated to "Pallor of Heaven" or "Light of Heaven", is a long sword forged in Sora 6 for the Emperor himself. A classic Ezrike sword, with a sinusoidal inner edge and a firm, slight curve for the outer edge, it was famous for the sharp final taper from the sinusoidal edge to the tip, as well as the almost angular re-narrowing, creating a sword that was highly distinctive while retaining its deadly effectiveness. Its blade was around 70 cm long, while the whole sword was around 96 cm long. As with most such swords made for prominent personalities, the sword is engraved with words. In this case the inscription reads, "Kor Sanbe, swordsmith, forges the sword Navarasna for He (who is) Always Victorious" (Itrani: Sberetaro Kor Sanbe sbaro ezrike Navarasna nite Kasagaimi Nikaile Hiruva). This refers to the primary title of the Emperors of the Lein, Nikaile Hiruv' ase Varya Hiruva (Always Victorious and Virtuous). '''Ganudarai''' Ganudarai, which can be translated as "Darkness of Earth", is another long cavalry sword ordered by Sora and completed in Sora 6. Being presented with the Navarasna at the same time, it is often considered a paired sword with the Emperor's sword; however, its design is very different, and Sanbe had instead intended the sword Rikasei as the partner of the Navarasna. Rendered a much deeper grey than usual by an unknown process, the Ganudarai is a classic, heavy cavalry marakarai, with a 84 cm blade and a total length of 1.15 metres. Unlike the Navarasna, the Ganudarai was not meant for Sora himself but rather for Sora to present as a gift; this had been an idea of his own, that an excellent sword should be made as a reward for whoever was the greatest of his generals. Accordingly, the sword is inscribed: "Be this sword, Ganudarai, for he whom Heaven has appointed to the aid of the Emperor". Eventually, as might be expected, Sora gifted the sword to [[Van Itei berMimar|Van Itei]] in Sora 35, before a great gathering of Lein officials, generals, and foreign dignitaries (many of whom had met Itei himself in battle, to be vanquished). '''Rikasei''' Rikasei, which is a poetic name for the first snows of early winter, was a sword made for [[Tairasantha Suin Areya|Tairasantha Areya]], and the actual paired sword of the Navarasna. Sanbe, keeping in mind the Tairasantha's love for beauty, put great effort into the shaping and carving of the Rikasei, delaying the sword's completion such that it was only presented to the Empress four months after the Emperor had been presented with both his swords. Certainly the Rikasei was lauded as legendarily exquisite. A specially narrowed and lightened Ezrike for a woman, its grain and the quenching marks left by the cooling process were described as being "like a breeze amongst soft winter clouds", while its scabbard was ivory wrapped around fragrant wood, carved into a scene of migrating birds. The hilt, topped with ivory, was carved into the shape of a heron - considered a lucky bird and the bringer of the news of spring. The blade was 58 cm long, while the whole sword was around 85 cm long. [[Category:Personalities of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Emperor's Artisan Office 2782 14226 2006-10-06T15:51:23Z Sirica 257 The '''Emperor's Artisan Office''' (Itrani: Sabo Gankarnondo Furaimi ne-i-Tairazun, literally Office of Artisans for the {Personal} use of the Emperor) is an office in the [[Lein Internal Palace Administration|Internal Palace]], responsible for making all tools and utensils needed for the Imperial Family, as well as for purposes of the Palace itself. ==History== The Office was founded by [[Tairazun Durun berHikas ne-i-Lein|Emperor Lein Durun]], putting an end to previous systems where scores of artists were kept on the payroll of the Empire while only occasionally being called upon to produce works; now that the number of artisans was much lower the office accordingly became far more efficient in supplying the needs of the Palace and the family, and also coordinating orders for materials as needed. This system, while efficient and perhaps fitting for a toughened military emperor such as Lein Durun, meant the restriction of styles produced by the artisans and the variety of the designs. Ironically it was the infamous [[Tairazun Jungi berKasan ne-i-Lein|Emperor Lein Jungi]] who "solved" this problem by coercing large numbers of artisans and craftsmen to be ready at any time to make playthings, weapons, or whatever he desired at the moment for him. His method was to issue skilled craftsmen with edicts of recall, such that whenever he wanted something made his cronies could use these edicts to summon the unfortunates to the palace on pain of death. After Lein Jungi was deposed, his son and successor [[Tairazun Loran berJungi ne-i-Lein|Lein Loran]] retained but altered this system dramatically. Instead of keeping the edict as a summons letter for craftsmen, he instead issued them as "Letters of Imperial Approval", issued to recognised craftsmen who had reached great heights and ability within their field. These letters, like the summoning edicts before them, gave the Emperor the power to summon them to the palace for comissions as and when so required; yet they were also great marks of honour, as well as gateways to further patronage and power within their respective craft guilds. This system, much welcomed by the populace and artisans, was later refined when some particularly talented experts were retained in the Court to serve as chief designers working exclusively for the Palace, and who then suggested suitable people to be summoned or issued with the Imperial Letter. ==Organisation== The Artisan Office plays the dual role of being the Imperial House's designers for personal projects, as well as being the chief contractor on behalf of the [[Palaces in the Lein Dynasty|Palace]] and the Imperial House. As such it is divided into many offices, according to the many tools and objects needed or wanted by the Emperor. The work scope of the Artisan Office is truly wide, even if its target audience is very small; to earn a Letter of Approval is to be acknowledged as being a master of the craft, and the ultimate goal of many artisans is to make even a single lacquered box for the Emperor, or carve a toy for a Prince. The "officials" of this unique department thus make up a large cross-section of the Empire's greatest talents, whose techniques are often noted down by Imperial demand for the examination and learning of future generations.

This category lists the rulers of the Lein Dynasty, which for more than five centuries ruled over the Trandimir and its peoples. [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:Rulers]] Lein Emperor's Attendants 2784 14463 2006-10-11T13:02:41Z Sirica 257 The Emperor's Attendants (Itrani: Ireshnon ne-i-Tairazun) is an office of the Internal Court, consisting almost exclusively of females, who serve as the Emperor's personal servants, responsible for such diverse things as his room, bedding arrangements, and even his bathwater. While it is administratively not an important office, its proximity to the centre of Imperial power often gives it disproportionate weight in the political landscape. The Emperor's Attendants is often confused with the office of the Imperial Attendants, or ''Ireshnon ne-i-Taitere'', who can number in their hundreds and are responsible for keeping the whole Palace running, serving ministers, officials and the Imperial family alike. Both men and women are present in this office in large numbers, and their work in the palace is endless. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Palaces in the Lein Dynasty 2785 14430 2006-10-11T03:45:00Z Sirica 257 Palaces, or '''Kirakanon''' (singular '''kirakan'''), have always been potent symbols and foci of Imperial power, and the Lein Dynasty is no different. Besides serving as administrative centres, the palaces may also serve purposes of fortification, in which case they are known as Agenite Kirakan or fortified palaces. Many prominent officials and members of the Imperial Family also build palaces to serve as their residences. Some of the most famous and important constructions of the Lein Dynasty are their palaces, including the new [[Anyesir Palace]] which serves as the nerve centre of the whole Imperial Administration, as well as all the other older palaces around the city of [[Meiron]] which have served the same role for previous dynasties. Many such palaces are barred from entry by commoners, as well as being walled and under heavy guard to ensure the safety of the officials and people therein. [[Category:Buildings of the Lein Empire]] Category:House of Lein 2786 16211 2006-11-21T02:46:41Z Christina 18 This category lists the members of the Imperial House of Lein, the rulers of the Lein Dynasty. [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] Anyesir Palace 2787 14432 2006-10-11T04:01:30Z Sirica 257 /* History and Construction */ '''Anyesir Palace''' (Itrani:'''Kiranan Anyesir''') is the name of the largest [[Palaces in the Lein Dynasty|Palace]] within the Lein Empire. Situated around 16 [[iri|irinon]] northwest of [[Meiron]], it is the administrative and political nerve-centre of the whole Empire, as well as the residence of the Emperor and his family. ==History and Construction== Anyesir Palace is one of a long series of palaces built around the city of Meiron, including [[Rumari Palace]] in the south and [[Asrakalin Palace]] in the west. Even though it was best known as being the headquarters of Lein Dynasty government, though, the core of the palace was in fact built as a fortification by the [[Nar Dynasty]], commissioned in Nar 61 and completed four years later, to command the hills that guard the northern entrance to Meiron city. Their effectiveness in this task was something the Lein understood all too well: during the [[Lein Accession War]], [[Tairazun Durun berHikas ne-i-Lein|Lein Durun]]'s armies spent 4 months trying to break through the hills to Meiron, then held by a coalition of rival noble houses; and it was only after a naval attack surprised Meiron city itself that, with the hills emptied of soldiers, the main army under Durun could enter and capture the palace. After Durun's accession, appreciating the solidity of the position, he declared that the new palace of the Lein would be built there; with immensely strong walls and occupying a strategic position the original palace was built more like a military headquarters or fortress than a palace. Only later, with the reigns of [[Tairazun Kasan]] and [[Tairazun Jungi]], did the palace expand, in the latter case with huge new palaces to hold the Tairazun's women. [[Category:Buildings of the Lein Empire]] Category:Buildings of the Lein Empire 2788 16134 2006-11-21T02:08:30Z Christina 18 This category describes the many buildings and construction projects during the Lein Dynasty - including roads, canals and other such large scale projects. [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:Architecture]] Lein Imperial Office for the Outer Kingdoms 2789 14474 2006-10-12T04:59:00Z Sirica 257 /* Tasks and Organisation */ The '''Imperial Office for the Outer Kingdoms''' (Itrani: Sabo Nagusa Tatorimi ne-i-Taitere) is an agency formed during the reign of [[Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein]], to manage the [[Outer Kingdoms of the Lein|Outer Kingdoms]]. As such it was responsible for liaison and coordination between the centre of Imperial power, and the respective Lein kings in the foreign lands, aiding them and obtaining tribute as necessary. ==Background== The creation of the Office was necessitated by the massive expansion of the Lein Empire during the campaigns of Tairazun Sora, known as the Ordering of the World. The creation of so many kingdoms overseas, comprising a Tranon ruling class over native peoples, obviously made a coordinating agency necessary, and such an office was created in Sora 35. Originally under the aegis of the [[Lein Imperial Ministry for War]], the office was soon seen as taking on major tasks too big for a Ministry; as a result, 3 years later, Sora decreed that the office be made an Ordained Office on par with the Ministries and the [[Lein Imperial Office for the Palace|Palace Administration]]. ==Tasks and Organisation== While the Lein Dynasty in its homeland claims ultimate suzerainty over the Outer Kingdoms, it does not include them in its administrative divisions, and the ministries do not attach permanent sections responsible for the kingdoms. Instead the Office is in charge of sending requests for manpower and officials to the other ministries, who comply with the requests by sending staff over to the kingdoms for training and other temporary duties. By edict, the Office is not allowed to demand that officials stay in the kingdoms for more than four years. More importantly, the office serves the purpose of conducting information between the kingdoms and the Empire. Given the distances involved, this is not an easy task; but the Office is nonetheless expected to give a report at least once every two months regarding the kingdoms. It accomplishes this by making use of a rotation system, wherein a group of officials is landed every now and then in the kingdoms and the previous group of officials immediately returns to the Empire to make their reports. To fulfill its many roles the Ordained Office is subdivided into several offices, the more important ones being: *[[Lein Office of External Tributes]], aimed at the coordinating of tribute from the outer kingdoms, as well as gifts from the Empire to the kingdoms. *[[Lein Consulate for the Outer Kingdoms]], responsible for monitoring the conduct of the kingdoms, preventing and mediating disagreements between them, and supporting their efforts at diplomacy with local peoples. It also helps regulate the rulers of those kingdoms, acting as advisors.

Tranon art is divided into main categories: Music, Building, Painting, Calligraphy and Writing; these are called the five "High Arts". Folk arts include a profusion of dance and opera styles as well. [[Category:Culture of the Tranon People]] Tranon Imperial Family Titles and Order of Succession 2791 14377 2006-10-10T03:20:15Z Sirica 257 The imperial families that rule the Empire of the Tranon follow a complex system of titles to denote its many members, with its basis in the all-important Order of Succession. The Tranon dynastic Order of Succession, having remained largely the same throughout the dynastic periods, comprises four "tiers", which each have their own male and female titles. The Imperial Throne can only be succeeded by males. *The incumbent ruler of the Emperor, and therefore the head of the Imperial House, goes by the title of ''Tairazun'', a term originally applied only to founding kings of great virtue in the ancient Tranon kingdoms. The Empress is known as ''Tairasantha''. *The Crown Prince, appointed from amongst the highest extant tier of succession, goes by the title of ''Kagarazun''. *The First Tier of Succession comprises the sons of the Tairazun and the Tairasantha. Princes in this category go by the title of ''Dimirazun''; princesses, ''Dimirasantha''. *The Second Tier comprises the sons of the Tairazun and his concubines; these sons are legitimate, but will only be included within the order if the First Tier is emptied. Princes in this category go by the title ''Ferstezun'', and princesses, ''Ferstesantha''. *The Third Tier comprises the Tairazun's brothers and cousins (sons of his father's brothers only). Princes in this category go by the title ''Kaniazun'', and princesses, ''Kaniasantha''. *The Fourth Tier comprises the sons of the Third Tier princes and their main wives; sons by concubines or mistresses, even if legitimate, are discounted. Princes in this tier are known as ''Purinzun'', princesses, ''Purinsantha''. [[Category:Customs of the Tranon]] Category:Government of the Tranon 2792 14383 2006-10-10T04:00:49Z Sirica 257 Organisation of the Lein Imperial Navy 2793 14285 2006-10-08T07:31:54Z Sirica 257 The Lein Imperial Navy, though traditionally a powerful force along the valley of the numerous great rivers in the Trandimir, have only recently been launched out onto the high seas; nonetheless, making use of many innovative technologies and the customarily high discipline and morale of their sailors and soldiers, they have emerged as a powerful force. This page discusses their units and ranks. ==Units== The smallest unit of the navy is naturally the single ship, though the nature of naval warfare in those days make single ship combat highly unlikely; ships are grouped into groups of ten, known as a "kuntari" or "squad". Five kuntarinon make a "tasaga", or squadron, and two to three tasaganon make a fleet, which in Itrani is known as "wasare". [[Category:Military of the Lein Dynasty]] Zelandish 2794 32192 2008-06-03T06:16:51Z Blackkdark 1214 {{Language| | English = Zelandish | native = Zelandisch | country = New Zealand | speakers = 1 | family = Indo-European | branch = Germanic | subbranch = West Germanic | word-order = SVO | morphological-type = inflecting | morphosyntactic-alignment = nominative - accusative | author = Andrew Smith | date = 1996 | background-color = white | heading-background = green | width = }}Zelandish is a language derived from [[Old English]] by Andrew Smith and used as a journal language. At the time of writing I have been using it for several years. These pages will be an attempt to describe and remember the language as I have used it. The name is derived from New Zealand, the locality in which I write my journal. ==Orthography== Zelandish is primarily a written language. There are no hard and fast rules on how it is pronounced. It has an evolving orthography. ===Vowels=== '''A, a''' /a/ '''E, e''' /ɛ/ '''EE, ee''' /e/ -- Not part of my natural phonology and can be pronounced as a diphthong, also '''EI, ei''' '''I, i''' /ɪ/ '''IE, ie''' /i/ '''O, o''' /ɔ/ -- also written as '''&#193;, &#225;''', no longer current language '''OE, oe''' /œ/ '''OU, ou''' /y/ or /ʉ/ -- also written as '''&#218;, &#250;''' no longer current language '''U, u''' /ʊ/ If the second ''E'' is marked with a dieresis, '''&#235;''', it is pronounced as a diphthong with schwa. A vowel written with a circumflex is pronounced long. It generally indicates a consonant has been elided after it, usually '''h'''. ===Consonants=== The following consonants are pronounced the same as in English, particularly a southern hemispheric Commonwealth dialect: B, C, CH, D, F, H, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z '''CG, cg''' is pronounced as 'dg', /dʒ/, in English '''G, g''' is pronounced hard, /g/. In '''GJ, gj''' and after a vowel it is silent '''J, j''' /j/ '''SCH, sch''' /ʃ/ There is no hard and fast rule on post-vocallic '''R, r'''. It can be pronounced as an approximant or elided. The non-rhotic pronunciations of vowels are '''ar''' /a:/, '''or''' /ɔ:/, '''ir''', '''er''' and '''ur''' /ɜ/. =Grammar= ==Pronouns== ===Personal Pronouns=== The subject pronouns / direct object pronouns are: '''ik''' /ɪk/ I, first person singular '''dou''' /dʉ:/ thou, second person singular / familiar '''hy''' /hi:/ he, third person singular masculine '''sy''' /si:/ she, third person singular feminine '''hit''' /hɪt/ it, third person singular neuter '''wy''' /wi:/ we, first person plural '''jy''' /ji:/ you, second person plural / formal '''hylie''' /hi:li:/ they, third person plural The indirect object pronouns are: '''my''' /mi:/ me '''dy''' /di:/ thee '''him''' /hɪm/ him '''hir''' /hɪɹ/ her '''ous''' /ʉ:s/ us '''ew''' /æʊ/ you '''him''' /hɪm/ them '''Hit''' with a preposition is replaced with '''deer''' or '''die''' which comes before the preposition. It is written as one word. The form depends on whether the preposition begins with a consonant or not. The possessive adjectives are: '''myn''' /mi:n/ my '''dyn''' /di:n/ thy '''our'''/ʉ:ɹ/ our '''eur''' /æʊɹ/ your '''hir''' /hɪɹ/ their The above are declined as weak adjectives. '''his''' /hɪs/ his, its '''hir''' /hɪɹ/ her '''His''' and '''hir''', when it means 'her', are not declined as adjectives. ==Verbs== ===Infinitive=== The most common form of the infinitive is the verb stem plus the ending '''-e''', such as '''neese''', to visit. If the verb stem ends in 'l' this ending is silent, such as '''tell''', to tell. ===Subjunctive=== The subjunctive verb uses the verb stem after singular subjects in the present; and an ending similar to the infinitive after plural subjects. It is usually used after verbs of communication such as '''tell''', to tell. It may be used as the primary verb in a sentence if the primary verb is conditional or expresses possibility (may, might). ===Weak Verbs=== A complete paradigm is as follows: '''toe loeke''', to look '''ik loek''', I look '''dou loekst''', thou lookest, you look '''hy, sy, hit loekt''', he, she, it looks '''wy, jy, hylie loekt''', we, you, they look '''ik, hy, sy, hit loeked''', I, he, she, it looked '''dou loekedzt''', thou lookedest, you looked '''wy, jy, hylie loeke''', we, you, they looked '''loekend''', looking, present participle '''loeked''', looked, past participle '''loeking''', act of looking, verbal noun As Zelandish is a journal language written in the third person the 'thou'-forms are rare. Hypothetically they should be common in spoken Zelandish, where speakers value informality. When a weak verb ends in 'l' or 'r', such as '''tell''' or '''heer''', the past tenses preserve the 'd' in both the singular and plural forms of the past tense: '''teld''', telde'''; '''heerd''', '''heerde'''. ===To Be=== '''Toe ben''', to be. The present tense: {| ||'''ik em'''||/ɪk ɛm/||I am||'''wy 'sinde'''||/wi: 'sɪndə/||we are |- ||'''dou ert'''||/dʉ: ɛɹt/||thou art||'''jy sinde'''||/ji: 'sɪndə/||you are |- ||'''hit is'''||/hɪt ɪs/||it is||'''hylie sinde'''||/'hi:li: 'sɪndə/||they are |} '''Ik em''' contracts to '''ikem''' or ''''kem'''. The past tense: {| ||'''ik wes'''||I was||'''wy weern'''||we were |- ||'''dou wie'''||thou wert||'''jy weern'''||you were |- ||'''hit wes'''||it was||'''hylie weern'''||they were |} The subjunctive forms of the verb generally only occur after a verb of expression ('they said that...'). In the present tense they are '''sie''' (singular) and '''sien''' (plural), and in the past tense they are '''wie''' and '''weern'''. With the past participle the present tense of 'to be' is used to mark the passive verb. If a verb is intransitive it marks the past perfect verb. The past tense of the verb 'to be' is used similarly to the present tense of 'to be' to mark the past tense of the passive and the pluperfect intransitive verb. {| ||'''ik be'''||I be||'''wy bet'''||we be |- ||'''dou bist'''||thou beest||'''jy bet'''||you be |- ||'''hit bit'''||it be||'''hylie bet'''||they be |} The be-forms are used in future sentences, 'will be', axiomatic sayings, and for emphasis or topic-marking, 'the fact is that...'. The subjunctive forms are '''be''' and '''ben'''. It has no special past tense. ===To Have=== This verb is irregular. '''Toe hebbe''', to have The present tense: {| ||'''ik heb'''||I have||'''wy hat'''||we have |- ||'''dou hest'''||thou hast||'''jy hat'''||you have |- ||'''hit het'''||it has||'''hylie hat'''||they have |} It is quite common for the forms '''het''' and '''hat''' to become confused. The past tense: {| ||'''ik hed'''||I had||'''wy hedde'''||we had |- ||'''dou hedzt'''||thou hadest||'''jy hedde'''||you had |- ||'''hit hed'''||it had||'''hylie hedde'''||they had |} The past tense is used as the auxiliary to mark the pluperfect on transitive verbs. The subjunctive forms are '''heb''', '''hebbe''', and '''hed''', '''hedde'''. ===To Know=== '''Toe witte''', to know (something) The present tense: {| ||'''ik wot'''||I know||'''wy witte'''||we know |- ||'''dou wost'''||thou knowest||'''jy witte'''||you know |- ||'''hit wot'''||it knows||'''hylie witte'''||they know |} The past tense: {| ||'''ik wis'''||I knew||'''wy wisse'''||we knew |- ||'''dou wist'''||thou knewest||'''jy wisse'''||you knew |- ||'''hit wis'''||it knew||'''hylie wisse'''||they knew |} The subjunctive forms are '''wit''', '''witte''', and '''wis''', '''wisse'''. The negative adverb '''nie''' elides with this verb to form a negative verb, '''ik n'wot''', I don't know, pronounced /nɔt/. The ''w'' becomes silent. Note that there is also a weak verb '''toe wisse''', to point out, to guide. ===To Go=== '''Toe gon''', to go The present tense: {| ||'''ik go'''||I go||'''wy got'''||we go |- ||'''dou gjeest'''||thou goest||'''jy got'''||you go |- ||'''hit gjeet'''||hit goes||'''hylie got'''||they go |} The '''g''' in the first person singular form of the verb is often elided so it is written '''ik'o'''. The past tense: {| ||'''ik eed'''||I went||'''wy ei&#235;'''||we went |- ||'''dou ei&#235;st'''||thou wentest||'''jy ei&#235;'''||you went |- |'''hit eed'''||it went||'''hylie ei&#235;'''||they went |} The subjunctive forms are '''go''', '''gon''', and '''eed''', '''ei&#235;'''. The participles are '''gangend''' (present) and '''jegon''' (past). The past participle '''agon''' is also very common and has the implication of 'gone and done with, past'. The present participle nearly always ends in '''-end'''. It is rarer than in English. Zelandish has not developed a present continuous tense to the same extent as English and where English uses a present participle after another verb, Zelandish prefers an infinitive, although this rule is not absolute. The verbal noun ends in '''-ing'''. There are some latinate borrowings ending in '''-aci&#243;n(e)'''. These are rarer than in English. ==Nouns== Plural nouns end in '''-s''', '''-n''', or sometimes '''-e'''. Some nouns do not change to mark a plural ending. Some irregular endings are preserved, such as '''childer''', the plural of '''child'''. The genitive case has become steadily unmarked in Zelandish. The s-genitive still survives and has been extended by the use of the reduced forms of the third person possessive pronouns, '''-'s''' from '''his''', his, its; '''-'r''' from '''hir''', her, their, and '''-'rn''' from '''hirn''', their (in a prepositional clause or before a plural possession). The dative case has disappear from the language except in a few fossil forms where it survives as an '''-o''' ending. In such cases it is not necessary obvious that it is dative. In words borrowed from latin the '''-um''' ending has survived, but it is used as a prepositional ending rather than accusative. ===Articles=== The definite article has abandoned grammatical gender and only one form survives in the modern language. '''det''' marks the subject and direct object of a verb in the singular, the plural equivalent is '''do'''. '''des''' (sg.) and '''der''' (pl.) means 'of the'. It is generally used without the preposition '''of''' and comes after the possessed noun. '''dom''' comes after a preposition. After many prepositions it is reduced to '''-'m'''. There are also contracted forms such as '''om''', on the, and '''im''', in the. These forms are used as demonstratives and are qualified by '''hie''' and '''die''', reduced forms of the demonstrative adverbs, directly after the article. There are two indefinite pronouns: '''an''' and '''sum'''. Both are declined like adjectives. If the following noun is singular then '''an''' is used: '''an wief'''. If there is more than one indefinite object, whether plural or collective, then '''sum''' is used: '''sum wieve, sum folk'''. '''Sum''' has become an independent indefinite pronoun in its own right meaning 'of them', or 'some'. It is especially tagged to numerals. '''Ik heb an sum''', I have one (of them). ==Adjectives== Zelandish divides adjectives into weak, which have to be supported by a definite article; and strong, which stand independently of the definate article.

predecessors, made use of high-quality ranged weapons, and ranged warfare - showering an enemy with missiles before actually closing in for combat - has always been an integral part of Tranon war tactics. The [[Lein Dynasty]], by tightly organising the army and introducing extensive training for all bowmen in its ranks, refined the system tremendously, creating a fearsome force that could strike the enemy with near impunity. The archers and bowmen of the army are mixed amongst the units of the army, though in battle they tend to operate as a single mass, raining arrows down on the enemy. Disciplined and hardy, they are often also equipped with light armour, and most of them purchase their own shortswords or knives in case they should be caught by an enemy. Though horse archers also use bows, and were a new and powerful fixture in the army of the Lein, they are discussed in the page [[Lein Cavalry]]. ==Weapons== '''Bows''' The arsenal available to the Lein archers are the result of centuries of invention and innovation as the Tranon refined their methods of warmaking to the broad plains, where the use of massed archers instead of individual bowmen in the forests allowed them to wreak havoc en masse. To enhance this devastating capability they have put in much effort, improving the firepower of the ranged weapons greatly. The primary weapons of the Lein bowmen were the fearsome composite foot-bows, known as ''[[bursang]]'', as well as the crossbows, known as ''[[tushup]]''. The foot-bows were symmetrical recurve bows, which could be up to 1.4 metres long, and which were derived from truly ancient Tranon designs; the crossbows, on the other hand, were a relative innovation introduced during the century of civil strife known as the [[Foreign Kingdoms and Warring States period]]. The strength required to draw many of these weapons is quite amazing, especially the bursangnon, most of which have a draw strength of around 180 pounds. While the array of one-man weapons used by Lein bowmen is already impressive, other more impressive and fearsome weapons were also know. The ''[[datushup]]'', or Great Crossbow, is in fact a wooden frame mounted with two crossbows, operated by winches and firing arrows up to 1.8 metres long; with an immense draw strength when fully strung, it could shoot its deadly projectile up to 600 metres or more, and at close range could often skewer two or three ranks of troops. Many stories told of three or even four men, nailed to each other and to a tree or wooden wall, with these long bolts. '''Arrows''' Long experience with [[Arrows(Tranon)|arrows]] gives the Tranon great expertise in their manufacture and design, and the normal bowman sets out for battle with several types of arrows in his quivers. Several main types of arrows are used. The first and oldest design, used originally for hunting, is a broad-headed arrow, meant for slicing through the flesh of unprotected targets or of animals; the broadness of the head makes it very difficult to remove, and it can provoke massive internal bleeding if anyone should attempt to extract it. The second sort, known as the ''haspeya'' or "one-point", is akin to the English bodkin arrow; long, narrow-headed, it was enhanced by the use of a long metal point to increase the weight and penetrative power of the arrow, as well as the tiny notches and barbs all along the arrow point that make extraction potentially fatal. Besides being purely killing tools, the arrows were also an integral part of Lein signalling techniques. Whistling arrows are commonly used as a means to signal, as well as to terrify the enemy; while they retained their points and could also kill, they had shorter ranges due to their whistles. Nonetheless the use of whistling arrows in battles, where massed archers would fire off whole volleys all of whistling arrows, is well-documented; many enemy records spoke of the "awful sound as though of demons descending upon the field, blackening the sky with their flights, and striking our men down in their masses". Other more specialised arrows included fire arrows, often used for sieges to set entire camps and towns alight; they had a haspeya head with longer, forward facing barbs, behind which oily cloth was tied and set aflame, so that as they hit the arrow would "claw" onto a surface and set it alight. As for the great crossbows, there were also multiple types of ammunition available; while the standard option was a larger version of the haspeya point, this time without any barbs but with an even heavier forward section to provide it with its legendary "man-skewer" ability, there are also fire arrows, as well as a unique blunt-headed arrow with small blades tied to its shaft such that, upon impact, the knives would be jerked free and bounce around, causing injury to anybody in the way. ==Tactics== The use of ranged firepower to overwhelm enemies from a distance has always been an integral part of Lein army tactics, before the use of cavalry to encircle enemies; the archers would often be set up behind a strong force of infantry, to shower arrows down on enemies at range using arcing fire. The firepower used by these mass tactics can be truly horrifying: at the [[Battle of Uzake]], the outnumbered Lein army nonetheless commanded 6,000 bowmen and 1,800 crossbows, and the order for volleying fire was given 38 times throughout the battle. [[Category:Military of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Cavalry 2797 14381 2006-10-10T03:49:27Z Sirica 257 The cavalry has always been a crucial part of warmaking for the Lein, a feature inherited from their old power base being situated in the northern plains to the south of the river Kiranava. As a result, after their reunification of the Empire, the Lein dynasty's army for the first time incorporated cavalry tactics into their army on a massive scale. ==Organisation and Types== The Lein, having had extensive experience of the extremely fluid and mobile style of warfare employed by the northeastern nomadic tribes as well as the powerful charges of heavy cavalry from the western lands, made sure upon their founding of the Lein Dynasty to incorporate their experiences into the Imperial Army at large; in the reforms and reorganisation of the army, therefore, new tactics and training ended up in the creation of the two cavalry types. The heavy cavalry of the Lein was known as the '''Steel Cavalry''' ([[Itrani language|Itrani] Kan'agun Garagos]]), and though it was not as heavily armoured as the scale-covered Iron Horse cavalry of the western kingdoms it was both far more mobile and far more versatile. Armed with recurve bows that could go through the scales of their adversaries at 80 paces, as well as lances and the formidable [[Bukaraya]], a curved heavy cavalry sword, they were also well-armoured with chain mail, and their horses with hardened leather and mail. Their versatility allowed them to engage heavier targets by first softening them with a barrage of arrows, and then a full-tilt charge, and it also allowed them enough speed to run down enemies. The lighter, raiding cavalry of the Lein, highly influenced by the nomads, was known as the '''Winged Cavalry''' or '''Flying Cavalry'''. A revolutionary addition to the army, though influenced long ago by Lein imitations of nomad tactics as they ruled their northern fief in the [[Nar Dynasty]], they wore light armour and made use of the same composite recurve bow, known as the [[dom bursang]] or "short bow", that the nomads used extensively. Besides this they also carried lighter swords which were basically more curved versions of the [[Ezrikes]] for close combat, though their normal response at coming too close to enemy lines is to escape.

In the following years, as relationships between the [[Lein Dynasty]] and the nomadic peoples of the north turned to war again, the fortress became a symbol of the resilience of the Lein Empire against the "northern barbarians". ==Background and Construction== Tairazun Sora's plan of fortifying the Empire was in a sense the extension of his father [[Tairazun Athain berLoran ne-i-Lein|Tairazun Athain]]'s intentions to forestall war by fortifications, even though the first half of his reign was a dramatic move in the opposite direction. After nearly 20 years of war with the [[Tamu`deni]] and [[Sumatar]] peoples, and having driven them north of the river, Sora decided that the best policy would be to pursue peace while ensuring a formidable and prominent deterrence. It was towards that goal that the construction of Kaldoin Fortress was ordered. Construction began, under the direction of the architect [[Tuin Risad berPanor]], in spring of Sora 34, and the central forts were completed around Sora 36, and fully operational by late Sora 37. The fortress was mostly constructed of stone, quarried upstream in the northern mountains and then painstakingly rolled and floated downstream to the area where they were shaped and placed; bricks brought upstream, as well as wood from the south, was also used in large quantities for this fortress. [[Category:Buildings of the Lein Empire]] Lein Governmental Office Classifications 2800 14529 2006-10-14T13:56:03Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Ministry or Ordained Office */ This page discusses the classifications and gradings of offices within the [[Lein Dynasty]] Imperial Government. The bureaucracy evolved by the Lein Dynasty to manage its vast and now centralised empire was, as the empire itself, organised on a level of multiple tiers. Unlike previous geographically-divided agencies, though, the administration was now functionally divided, with each ministry maintaining representatives in the provinces. ==Ministry or Ordained Office== ''Articles: [[Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty]], [[Lein Imperial Office for the Outer Kingdoms]], [[Lein Imperial Office for the Palace]]'' The Ministry ([[Itrani]] Dasabo), of which there are six within the government, as well as the so-called Ordained Offices (Itrani ''Teinel Sabo''), make up the top tier of Lein government. Amongst them, the Ministries are headed by a ''Sagare'', or Minister, while the two Ordained Offices are each led by a ''Sagor ne-Tein'', or Ordained Official. These men are by law of [[Lein Official Ranks|First Rank, Proper Precedence]]. ==Office== Ministries are in turn subdivided into Offices, or ''Sabonon''. Each office was responsible for a certain area of responsibility within its ministry, related to the overall sphere of influence of the ministry itself; their powers were often great but highly restricted to their own respective areas. They are led by Overseers, or ''Sirtenon'' (singular ''Sirte''); but there are less restrictions on the rank of officials holding such posts. Most officials with a rank of Fourth Rank, Proper Precedence or above are eligible to be thus appointed. ==Section== The smallest division of administration, and often a fluid one with new sections being set up or disbanded as needed, the sections or "Durinon" are responsible for most of the field work of their offices. The representatives of ministries in distant provinces, or certain local administrative branches, are often known as sections since they do not fit the functional scope of an office.

If female lines are excluded, it would be quite possible for there to be no princes out to first cousin *Which tier is the Emperor's father's brothers classified in? Also, are only the children of brothers of the Emperor's father by his main wife included in tier three, or are the children of brothers of the Emperor's father by concubines included? *When a new Emperor succeeds, do princes' status change? For example, the Crown Prince's brothers would be in tier one, but would they then be demoted to tier three once the Crown Prince becomes Emperor? Also, "Sons of father's brother" are not "cousins first-removed". A cousin once removed is the the child of a cousin, or the cousin of a parent. Your father's brother's son would be your patrilateral (or paternal) parallel cousin, to use technical terms. [[User:Nik|Nik]] 23:21, 8 October 2006 (PDT) Wow I didn't know that.

[[Category:Ethnicities]] Lein Imperial Office for the Palace 2805 14448 2006-10-11T06:14:42Z Sirica 257 The Lein Imperial Office for the Palace, normally simply known as the Palace Office ([[Itrani]] ''Tein Sabo ne-kirakan'', or just ''Saneki'') is the office within the Lein Government responsible for administering the [[Anyesir Palace|palace]] itself, as well as the Imperial Capital of [[Meiron]]. Given the status of the palace as the heart of the whole Empire, the administration of the palace in turn helps ease the work of other agencies and ministries. The Palace Office, besides taking care of the welfare of the Imperial Family housed therein, also takes care of the accomodation and feeding of its workers, the work of transmitting messages around the palace, and finally the administration and guard of the Capital. ==Offices and Organisation== The palace office has a wide job scope that includes many of the domestic offices of the administration. Just a few such offices include: *[[Administration of Meiron City]]: housing the governor of the capital and his staff, this office is responsible for the administration of the capital, the keeping of order therein, and the maintenance of its buildings and spaces. *[[Lein Imperial Transcription Office]]: the Tairazun's secretaries, these young women are extremely well-trained and skilled, and serve as his drafters, writers, and readers of edicts. *[[Lein Imperial Attendants]]: the great body of servants, numbering in the hundreds, who serve the Imperial Family as well as taking care of miscellanous tasks within the palace. *[[Imperial Kitchen]]: The body responsible for preparing the meals of the Tairazun and his family, as well as for the residents of the palace. *[[Imperial Artisans' Office]]: A centralised office used to mobilise skilled artisans and craftsmen on the order of the Tairazun or the demands of the palace and court.

Fought at a series of crossings of the [[Uroma]] River as the Lein army sought to cross and strike at the Jichei capital, it was also the last major act of resistance launched by the Jichei army against the overwhelming force of the Lein army. Lasting from sunrise to just before sunset, the battle was so bloody that the Uroma River would later gain the appellation of Gin Newel or "Red River".

[[Category:Tranon]] Currency of the Lein Dynasty 2808 14455 2006-10-11T12:30:31Z Sirica 257 One of the most important acts of the [[Lein Dynasty]], at its inception, was the standardisation of currency throughout the Empire. Whereas previous dynasties allowed respective feudal states great discretion in money policies, to the extent of issuing their own systems of currency, the Lein in order to centralise and unite the Empire had no room for such measures. The standardisation of currency was one of the first [[Imperial Edict|edicts]] passed by [[Tairazun Durun berHikas ne-i-Lein]], who made use of the Lein system of currency - ironically a self-issued system that ignored the currency of the Nar Dynasty then - as the Imperial standard: 1 uta = 12 berenon 1 bere = 12 teknon 1 tek = 6 pirinon Besides these divisions, there are also other divisions present, but most of those exist on a regional level - again, a residue of ancient feudalism that has not quite faded amongst the populace. For the most part, given the relatively small values of those local currencies, the government does not interfere; but neither does it recognise those systems in its transactions.

[[Category:Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:Economics]] Tranon Imperial Consort Systems 2810 14531 2006-10-14T14:11:17Z Denihilonihil 119 This page discusses the systems of ranking consorts throughout dynasties, as well as some of the conditions thereof. The system of Imperial consorts is aligned with the Tranon social view, where polygamy is allowed and indeed sometimes encouraged; the large number of consorts many [[Tairazun|Tairazunon]] take, however, necessitate a complex system of ranking and priority. This system, known in [[Itrani]] as the ''buson kiranan'' or "rear palace", has at its top the [[Tairasantha]] or Empress. ==Ranks of the Emperor's Consorts== '''Tairasantha''' The term Tairasantha is, for ambitious concubines at least, the ultimate aspiration. As the Tairazun's chief consort, her power officially extends to every member of the rear palace and all women within the administration, but unofficially it often stretches far more deeply, through her influence on the Emperor. Another powerful sign of dominance for the Tairasantha is that her sons with the Tairazun are placed above all other consorts, in the First Tier for Succession. To become a Tairasantha, however, has certain characteristics; the Tairasantha, by the law of many dynasties including the Lein, must have a ''surviving, rightful prince''; "rightful" here means he fulfills the conditions for accession to the throne, mainly being that he is free of glaring physical defects. Only then, with a presumably healthy child as a potential heir, can she be given the position. Besides this condition, however, given the youth of most Tairazunon at accession their chief consorts normally will not fulfill this condition; as such, the first or most favoured wife of the Emperor as of his accession. [[Category:Customs of the Tranon]] Tairazun 2811 14394 2006-10-10T06:16:22Z Sirica 257 '''Tairazun''' is the [[Itrani]] term for the Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Tranon Empire. Itself derived from the legendary king Taira, who in legends led the Tranon people out of the south into the present Tranon heartland more than 1,300 years before the founding of the Empire, the word itself holds in pre-Imperial days the connotation of power held with virtue; as such it was seen as an appropriate title for the first Emperor. [[Category:Customs of the Tranon]] Arun Savas berLetiman 2812 14395 2006-10-10T06:49:08Z Sirica 257 '''Arun Savas berLetiman''' (12-8-Athain 28 - 11-11-Keragel 4) is a poet, civil servant and diplomat of the [[Lein Dynasty]]. One of the most important officials in [[Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein|Tairazun Sora's]] government, he has served in such posts as [[Lein Minister of Finance|Minister of Finance]], [[Lein Ordained Official of the Outer Kingdoms|Ordained Official of the Outer Kingdoms]], and [[Prime Minister of the Lein Dynasty|Prime Minister]], and is often grouped as one of the "Great Ministers of the Great Martial Reign". ==Childhood and Youth== Arun Savas berLetiman was born in the night to Arun Letiman berKakur, a local official in the [[Lein Imperial Ministry of Finance]], in the city of [[Salguz]]; his mother was the second wife of his father, and died when Savas was just three. As the only son in the family (his father's first wife had borne three daughters), he was especially doted on by his father, and received an excellent education from the many scholars in the city. Even in childhood he had shown himself to be of great aptitude and foresight. The defining moment of Arun Savas' childhood came when his father brought him along on a meeting with [[Kan Gusan berHaler]], a famous general of the reign of [[Tairazun Athain berLoran ne-i-Lein|Tairazun Athain]]. A personal friend of the general, Arun Letiman was sending him off for [[First Sora-Tamu1deni Campaign|Sora's first campaign]], and Kan Gusan asked the man what his assessment of the campaign was; before he could answer, however, his 10 year old son cut in saying: "The Great Tairazun shall wander the fields as a man chasing a fast horse". His father immediately reprimanded him for his impudence, but the general later agreed with this assessment; seven months later, after Tairazun Sora returned in defeat, the general mentioned to him that a ten year old had already foreseen his defeat; in shock the Tairazun immediately asked for Arun Savas. [[Category:Personalities of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Imperial Ministry of Finance 2813 14459 2006-10-11T12:55:57Z Sirica 257 The '''Imperial Ministry of Finance''' ([[Itrani]] ''Dasabo Seterimi ne-i-Taitere'') is one of the [[Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty]], and in many senses the most important. Besides simply acting as a finance ministry, it is also responsible for the management of trade and economic growth, crucial matters for any state. Due to its role, the Ministry of Finance has a large representation within the Imperial centre, as well as many branches in major cities around the Empire which are responsible for economic planning and other administrative functions. The fact that [[Prime Minister of the Lein Dynasty|Prime Ministers]] to be are mostly appointed as Ministers of Finance for a period before ascending the hallowed post is proof of the political clout and significance of the Ministry. ==Organisation and Offices== The Finance ministry handles a huge range of tasks, and it is said that some of its offices can match the strength of another kingdom's court in its entirety. Some of these offices, crucial to the running of the Empire, include: *[[Lein Office of Agriculture]], responsible for agricultural planning. *[[Lein Revenue Office]], responsible for taxation and the inflow of revenues into the Imperial coffers. *[[Lein Treasury]]: easily one of the most important offices, the Treasury manages the Imperial coffers and allocates funds as ordered. *[[Lein Trade Monitors' Office]], responsible for promoting and controlling trade in accordance with the long-standing policy of the Lein Tairazunon. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Imperial Ministry of Public Works 2814 14420 2006-10-10T15:05:02Z Sirica 257 The '''Imperial Ministry of Public Works''', or just the Ministry of Works ([[Itrani]] ''Dasabo Katangaimi ne-i-Taitere'') is one of the [[Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty]], responsible for the construction and upkeep of the many public works projects and networks that the Empire depends on for its economic survival. With a job scope spanning from city wall repair to the construction of inter-province highways, it is often known as the "Quiet Ministry" for its importance in underpinning Lein rule, along with its relative silence in political circles. ==Organisation and Offices== As with all ministries the Dasabo Katangaimi, or Daskata, is divided into several Sabonon or offices, each dealing with an aspect of the job scope of the whole ministry. The major offices are as follows: *[[Office of Canals]] (''Sabo hurotaimi''), responsible for the construction and maintenance of the many transportation canals between rivers that were built during the Dynasty. *[[Office of Irrigation]] (''Sabo pirashaimi''), responsible for the even more important task of maintaining and expanding irrigation networks, crucial in many areas of the Empire for maintaining the productivity of the land. *[[Office of Palaces and Forts]] (''Sabo Kirananimi ase Ratugaimi''), responsible for building palaces to the order of the Tairazun, as well as the design of large forts and castles, for fortification purposes. *[[Office of Roads]] (''Sabo Lezeimi''), responsible for building and maintaining the immense network of roads that now span the Empire, crucial both for troop movements and for the flow of commerce from one city to another. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Sumatar 2815 14428 2006-10-11T03:35:20Z Sirica 257 The '''Sumatar''' are a powerful confederation of the nomadic peoples that since time immemorial have lived on the fringes of civilisation, to the northeast of the Trandimir, north of the realms of the [[Tranon people|Tranon]]. People of the great seas of grass that stretches from the mountains of the Trandimir northwards without end, they are consummate warriors and hunters, and their interaction with the peoples to their south, with their cities and forts, has been infinitely complex, and has played a powerful part in the legends and culture of both civilisations. While the peoples are ancient beyond history, the Sumatar confederation is not; formed during the early Tranon Empire, it had existed for centuries, often helping to topple regimes with its fast and deep raids into the Trandimir. In peacetime they were formidable allies and mercenaries, and in wartime fearsome foes like shadows; but whichever role they played they had a great part in the history of their southern neighbours. [[category:Nomads of the Northeast]] Lein Imperial Ministry of War and the Borders 2816 14465 2006-10-11T13:22:00Z Sirica 257 The '''Imperial Ministry of War and the Borders''' is one of the [[Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty|Six Ministries]] that form the core of Lein government; as is clear, it is responsible for the defence of the Empire, as well as its diplomacy and foreign relations. While the Tranon are by and large a peaceful civilisation, their close proximity to many other civilisations also makes war an unpleasant but frequently recurring state of reality for them. The Lein, to a greater extent than any other preceding state, brought the armies under a single imperial system and organised them into an incomparable force; this in turn required consistent and excellent administration. Being in charge of all the soldiers and matters of war, the Ministry is therefore also responsible for large parts of the Imperial economy, in the form of war coffers, border controls and most importantly the [[Sakuzak]] agricultural system. ==Offices and Organisation== *[[Lein Imperial Army Office]], responsible for the administration of the Imperial Army's many units *[[Lein Imperial Navy Office]], serving much the same purpose as its army counterpart *[[Lein Imperial Logistics and Supply Office]], responsible for the manufacture of armaments, and the handling of equipment to the army; it is also responsible for ship construction. *[[Lein Office Sakuzaknon]], responsible for the handling of the military agricultural colonies known as sakuzaknon.

[[Category:Tranon]] [[Category:Cities]] Lein Imperial Ministry of the Civil Service 2818 14460 2006-10-11T12:58:13Z Sirica 257 /* Offices and Organisation */ The '''Imperial Ministry of the Civil Service''' is one of the [[Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty|Six Ministries]], responsible for the important task of manpower shifts, recruitment, and the maintenance of standards of the civil service itself. No country can be run without a competent, honest and efficient civil service, much less a sprawling empire like that of the [[Lein Dynasty]]. This Ministry was therefore set up in order to ensure that the officials that serve the Empire and its people conform both to the laws of the land and to the highest standards of education and personal virtue. ==Offices and Organisation== The Civil Service Ministry's roles within the government are clear - to ensure that only the best enter the government, both in quality and character; and to ensure that, once they are within the centres of power, they stay upright. Some of its important offices include: *[[Lein Imperial Inspectorate]], a highly feared office, is responsible for the arrest and judgement of civil service members who have been implicated in crimes or corruption. *[[Lein Imperial Examinations Office]], responsible for the setting and monitoring of the [[Imperial Examinations (Lein)|Imperial Examinations]], where the civil servants are selected. *[[Lein Office of Promotions]], responsible both for promoting and demoting officials in accordance to their records, and for the handling of position switches and arrangements within other offices. [[Category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Imperial Ministry of Education and Rites 2819 14464 2006-10-11T13:08:15Z Sirica 257 The '''Imperial Ministry of Education and Rites''' is one of the [[Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty|Six Ministries]], responsible for religious affairs, the education of state scholars, and the recording and storing of knowledge for future generations. Being ordained to rule the Empire by the many gods of the Tranon, the [[Tairazun]] and his people at large are all responsible for the great task of appeasing the gods, such that the elements which are beyond man - disasters, rain, the state of the climate and so on - may yet be in the favour of men. At the same time this Ministry is in charge of the education and conduct of [[Saimzanon]], the scholars of the Empire, as well as for storing the knowledge they have created. ==Offices and Roles== The Ministry's offices each reflect an aspect of its wide-spanning role. *[[Lein Office of the Saimzanon]] (Sabo Saimzanonimi), responsible for managing the Saimzanon as well as their institutes, the [[Saiveteng|Saivetengnon]], which are the main institutes of higher learning in the Empire. *[[Lein Office of Sacrifices and Worship]] (Sabo Gurasanimi ase Nisanimi), responsible for managing the Tairazun's worships and scheduled sacrifices to the different gods and goddesses. *[[Lein Office of Astrology and Astronomy]] (Sabo Horasaimi ase Horadisaimi), responsible both for divination using the stars, and for the study of those stars themselves and their movements. [[category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Lein Judicial Office 2820 14418 2006-10-10T14:42:14Z Sirica 257 The '''Judicial Office''' represents the judiciary branch of the [[Lein Dynasty]], and as such it is a pivotal part in the functions of the [[Justice Ministry]] which it represents. Though it is only an Office within the ministry, it is nonetheless one of the most powerful offices of all, with its officials being instrumental local governors and magistrates throughout the Empire.

[[category:Offices and Institutions of the Lein Dynasty]] Order Seals 2823 14438 2006-10-11T05:01:46Z Sirica 257 '''Order Seals''' were an innovative new system instituted by [[Tairazun Durun]] during his reign. Basically a temporary "boost of power" granted by the Tairazun himself, the order seal allows an official thus endowed to, for a certain period of time, circumvent certain higher authorities in order to get its task completed. The name comes from the fact that such seals normally came with distinct orders, ie. the task that was meant to be achieved in the first place. While this system of temporary circumvention is well-known within the military, it has never been instituted in the civil service before the accession of the Lein. Yet, even as Tairazun Durun began and pushed the sweeping and massive reforms that saw the centralising of state power in his Six Ministries, he realised that the multi-tiered bureaucracy, while more than adequate for day to day tasks, might be ill-suited for crises. For that, as for military crises, one needed an officer to be authorised to carry out orders at all cost for the time being; drawing on that experience he instituted the order seals. The issuing of order seals contains several procedures. Firstly, the Tairazun must draft and sign an appropriate edict, and order the making of a wooden seal which could be carved and made in two days; then, once both the edict and seal are complete, the official is summoned, the orders that are his are read to him, and the period of authorisation is made clear. Since all Imperial documents must be dated, this makes it easy to trace if any official has been overstaying his authorisation by comparing the date of the document with the date of expiry of the seal. Such seals are, of course, potentially dangerous political weapons; because of that they are often only given in times of crises, as to a particular canal official during a flood to allow him to mobilise men and repair barriers, or to a military logistics official to allow him to mobilise manpower to move a particularly important supply caravan to relieve an army. By law the authorisation period should not be less than 10 days, and certainly must not be more than a year.

[[category:Peoples of the Trandimir]] Batai 2825 14454 2006-10-11T12:25:45Z Sirica 257 '''Batai''' is the [[Itrani]] word for a seal, an important device for many Tranon used as a signature and a stamp of authority. ==History== Batainon have been used amongst the Tranon since time immemorial. The use of such seals, for stamping one's name, appears to have begun with the use of pottery, when the wet clay would be stamped with the name of the maker or the owner before being fired. Many wooden products also have the names of their owners carved on them. Later, with the spread of paper and ink, the batai became a carved device using ink to mark its owner's identity. Pottery stamps, used for wet clay, still exist, but for most purposes the batai is used for many purposes - marking ownership, approving contracts and agreements, and so on. As such batainon are seen as important, treasured items for many of the Tranon; it is sometimes said "Write your name a hundred times, or stamp it with a seal", to signify how highly the seal is regarded as a personal symbol. ==Materials and Manufacture== Batainon can be made from any sort of material, though stone and hard wood are the favoured materials. A prized piece of white jade or dark green grass-stone, of the right dimensions to make a good seal, can often cost thousands of [[utanon]] simlpy because they would make great seals. The carving of these seals is a laborious process, and can either use the original Itrani script or - if the required engraving will take up too much space - make use of a [[beruseti]] glyph instead, designed by the commissioner of the seal. ==Personal Seals== Personal seals are the most common types of seal, used simply for personal identification. As such it can have myriad uses and applications; whether it be letters, contracts or paintings, they are used. ==Official Seals== [[category:Customs of the Tranon]] Battle of Uzake 2826 14442 2006-10-11T05:33:35Z Sirica 257 {{Warbox |conflict= Battle of Uzake |partof= [[Campaign of Sora 18]] |date= 11-6- Sora 18 |place= near Uzake town, [[Erganzaw Kingdom]] |result= Decisive Lein victory }} [[category:Famous Battles of the Lein Dynasty]] Tairazun Sora berAthain 2827 14444 2006-10-11T06:06:15Z Sirica 257 #REDIRECT [[Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein]] Category:Battles of the Lein Dynasty 2828 16129 2006-11-21T02:02:49Z Christina 18 [[Category:Military of the Lein Dynasty]] [[Category:Wars]] Salguz 2829 14473 2006-10-12T04:54:42Z Sirica 257 The city of '''Salguz''' is the provincial capital of [[Rumisa Arsun]]. It has a population of around 31,000 households, which makes nearly 150,000 people, making it an important city of the eastern Empire. Originally founded as a market town for the rich agricultural produce of the area, the city later became the capital of several great feudal fiefs and other entities, including two kingdoms of the [[Warring Principalities period]]. During the [[Lein Dynasty]], it was in turn made into a provincial seat, and as such hosts the governmental centre of the region, as well as being a famous cultural centre. A famous saying about this city, as well as the city of [[Basari]] in the southern [[Burlaz Arsun]], states: "Food carts leave Basari emptied; Ink carts leave Salguz dry". The city is also known as the "green-walled", since its location in the eastern lowlands often causes morning mists and fog that wetten the stone of the walls, leading eventually to the growth of a layer of algae.

[[category:Lein Dynasty]] Regional Government (Lein) 2833 14488 2006-10-12T06:22:11Z Sirica 257 This page discusses the regional governments of the Empire during the [[Lein Dynasty]]. As centralised rule led to the appointment of officials to the regions from the centre, a proper structure of governance was established, known as the "nabatorzan" or representative system. Under this system, which was set up by the first [[Tairazun Durun]], each ministry of the government had a branch of representatives within a province or county, who would be updated of edicts and changes in the law; they in turn would be under local office chiefs, and eventually the provincial governor. The governor can be from any Ministry, but is expected to have some understanding of the workings of all the ministries; as a result only highly experienced officials who have made rounds in many offices tend to get appointed to provincial posts. The tension between regional government and the government in the centre, a long-standing theme of Imperial politics, also has significant effects in the Lein. While appointment as a governor is certainly a grat honour, "promotions" which involve shifts to other provinces, out of or farther away from the imperial centre at [[Meiron]], is often simply a euphemism for political exile.

Convened for determining war strategy and planning long-term campaigns, these councils are often held as top military secrets within the [[Mal ne-Harim]] in the western enclosure of [[Anyesir Palace]]. ==Organisation and Form== The convening of a military council is often one of the first acts of a newly-enthroned Tairazun, the aim being to discuss his military goals and receive briefings on the military situation of the Empire; while having its origins in the militaristic tradition of the Lein, these meetings are also extremely important given the near-constant state of hostility with the many neighbours of the Tranon Empire.

However, Gyatalin verbs do not decline by tense; they decline somewhat by aspect, but the conjugations of the verbs don't match up exactly in meaning. The closest natural language aspect is the telicity found in Finnish or Estonian. For the sake of neatness, already existing grammatical aspects are used to name Gyatalin aspects. However, a brief description of what the actual Gyatalin aspect is will follow the heading. Before actually viewing the verbal morphology of Gyatalin, it is important to look at the structure of the verb infinitive (which ALWAYS ends in -t'j). There are two classes of verbs, so aptly named Class 1 and Class 2. Class 1 verbs have either: a, y, o, u, ë, or a consonant before the typical t'j ending. Verbs in Class 2 have either: e, i, y, ü, ä, or ö before the t'j ending. It is impossible to tell whether a particular -yt'j verb is from Class 1 or Class 2. To discover the stem of the verb, simply remove the vowel and the t'j ending. In the case of the consonant+t'j endings, only remove the t'j. ===Perfective Aspect=== This is the simplest of the aspects. In Gyatalin, this aspect implies that the action being referred to has been completed. ====Class 1 Verbs==== {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=15 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Class 1, Perfective Aspect |- style="vertical-align: left; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Ending ||colspan=2| póchat'j ||colspan=2| ytyt'j ||colspan = 2| wlùbot'j ||colspan=2| źlut’j ||colspan=2| gànśët’j ||colspan=2| títant'j || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| yś || -u |||| póch<b>u</b> |||| yt<b>u</b> |||| wlùb<b>u</b> |||| źl<b>u</b> |||| gànś<b>u</b> |||| títan<b>u</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| tü || -ešt |||| póch<b>ešt</b> |||| yt<b>ešt</b> |||| wlùb<b>ešt</b> |||| źl<b>ešt</b> |||| gànś<b>ešt</b> |||| títan<b>ešt</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| žoj || -oj |||| póch<b>oj</b> |||| yt<b>oj</b> |||| wlùb<b>oj</b> |||| źl<b>oj</b> |||| gànś<b>oj</b> |||| títan<b>oj</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| žaj || -aj |||| póch<b>aj</b> |||| yt<b>aj</b> |||| wlùb<b>aj</b> |||| źl<b>aj</b> |||| gànś<b>aj</b> |||| títan<b>aj</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| žej || -ej |||| póch<b>ej</b> |||| yt<b>ej</b> |||| wlùb<b>ej</b> |||| źl<b>ej</b> |||| gànś<b>ej</b> |||| títan<b>ej</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| il || -my |||| póch<b>my</b> |||| yt<b>my</b> |||| wlùb<b>my</b> |||| źl<b>my</b> |||| gànś<b>my</b> |||| títan<b>my</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| yl || -li |||| póch<b>li</b> |||| yt<b>li</b> |||| wlùb<b>li</b> |||| źl<b>i</b> |||| gànś<b>li</b> |||| títan<b>li</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| jätś || -é |||| póch<b>é</b> |||| yt<b>é</b> |||| wlùb<b>é</b> |||| źl<b>é</b> |||| gànś<b>é</b> |||| títan<b>é</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| fën || -ju |||| póch<b>ju</b> |||| yt<b>ju</b> |||| wlùb<b>ju</b> |||| źl<b>ju</b> |||| gànś<b>ju</b> |||| títan<b>ju</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| fè || -jut |||| póch<b>jut</b> |||| yt<b>jut</b> |||| wlùb<b>jut</b> |||| źl<b>jut</b> |||| gànś<b>jut</b> |||| títan<b>jut</b> || |} ====Class 2 Verbs==== {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=15 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Class 2, Perfective Aspect |- style="vertical-align: left; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Ending ||colspan=2| pljanet'j ||colspan=2| bytit'j ||colspan = 2| žùdžyt'j ||colspan=2| kwalüt’j ||colspan=2| mächtät’j ||colspan=2| polöt'j || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| yś || -ju |||| pljan<b>ju</b> |||| byt<b>ju</b> |||| žùdž<b>ju</b> |||| kwal<b>ju</b> |||| mächt<b>ju</b> |||| pol<b>ju</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| tü || -iš |||| pljan<b>iš</b> |||| byt<b>iš</b> |||| žùdž<b>iš</b> |||| kwal<b>iš</b> |||| mächt<b>iš</b> |||| pol<b>iš</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| žoj || -joj |||| pljan<b>joj</b> |||| byt<b>joj</b> |||| žùdž<b>joj</b> |||| kwal<b>joj</b> |||| mächt<b>joj</b> |||| pol<b>joj</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| žaj || -jaj |||| pljan<b>jaj</b> |||| byt<b>jaj</b> |||| žùdž<b>jaj</b> |||| kwal<b>jaj</b> |||| mächt<b>jaj</b> |||| pol<b>jaj</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| žej || -jej |||| pljan<b>jej</b> |||| byt<b>jej</b> |||| žùdž<b>jej</b> |||| kwal<b>jej</b> |||| mächt<b>jej</b> |||| pol<b>jej</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| il || -ymi |||| pljan<b>ymi</b> |||| byt<b>ymi</b> |||| žùdž<b>ymi</b> |||| kwal<b>ymi</b> |||| mächt<b>ymi</b> |||| pol<b>ymi</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| yl || -yli |||| pljan<b>yli</b> |||| byt<b>yli</b> |||| žùdž<b>yli</b> |||| kwal<b>yli</b> |||| mächt<b>yli</b> |||| pol<b>yli</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| jätś || -je |||| pljan<b>je</b> |||| byt<b>je</b> |||| žùdž<b>je</b> |||| kwal<b>je</b> |||| mächt<b>je</b> |||| pol<b>je</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| fën || -ja |||| pljan<b>ja</b> |||| byt<b>ja</b> |||| žùdž<b>ja</b> |||| kwal<b>ja</b> |||| mächt<b>ja</b> |||| pol<b>ja</b> || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| fè || -jat |||| pljan<b>jat</b> |||| byt<b>jat</b> |||| žùdž<b>jat</b> |||| kwal<b>jat</b> |||| mächt<b>jat</b> |||| pol<b>jat</b> || |} ===Progressive Aspect=== The progressive aspect implies that the verb is happening, but has not been completed.

It's half-gender, half-animate. There are 3 genders in Gyatalin: masculine, feminine, and neuter. In addition, both the masculine and feminine genders can be broken into animate or inanimate classes, for a total of 5 distinct groups. The gender of a noun is apparent upon inspection: masculine nouns either end in consonant, o, u, all +j. Feminine nouns end in either a or i, each +j. And neuter nouns all end in e or ej. No nouns ever end in a long vowel, y, yj, or a diaresis vowel (ä, ë, ö, ü, +j). ===The Article=== Nouns in Gyatalin are only marked if they are indefinite (i.e. the English equivalent of a, an, some). If a noun is unmarked, that means that it is definite (i.e. the English equivalent of the). The article (a, an) declines according to gender as well as case. {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| The Article |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Masculine Anim. ||colspan=2| Masculine Inanim. ||colspan=2| Feminine Anim. ||colspan=2| Feminine Inanim. ||colspan=2| Neuter |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nominative || źje |||| źje |||| źja |||| źja |||| źjo |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Accusative || źjë |||| źje |||| źjy |||| źja |||| źjo |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Dative || źju |||| źjë |||| źjä |||| źjy |||| źju |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Genitive || źja |||| źju |||| źji |||| źjä |||| źje |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Locative || źjü |||| źjü |||| źjö |||| źjö |||| źjy |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Vocative || źjë |||| źje |||| źjy |||| źja |||| źjy |} ===Masculine Gender=== ====Declension 1==== ====Declension 2==== ====Declension 3==== ===Feminine Gender=== ====Declension 1==== ====Declension 2==== ====Declension 3==== ===Neuter Gender=== ==Prepositions== Prepositions don't work in the same way they do in English. There are only a handful of prepositions (numbering less than 10) in the whole Gyatalin language, compared to the 50 or so in English. Each preposition takes a certain case to mean a certain thing. One preposition can mean up to 4 different things, taking either the accusative, dative, genitive, or locative case. Therefore, 2 sentences that look similar could mean completely different things because of the case. These are the prepositions used (semantic meaning will be covered in the following sections, broken up into case): k’ölź, lẃant, dùch, gdom, chwodj, hnýs, bjël, škof, kjüp’ ===The Accusative Form=== When a succeeding noun is put in the accusative case, the prepositions carry the following meanings: k’ölź - for<br> lẃant - in<br> dùch - around<br> gdom - onto<br> chwodj - at<br> hnýs - together with<br> bjël - during<br> škof - about<br> kjüp’ - among ===The Dative Form=== When a succeeding noun is put in the dative case, the prepositions carry the following meanings: k’ölź - to (a person)<br> lẃant - since<br> dùch - with<br> gdom - on<br> chwodj - after<br> hnýs - besides (other than)<br> bjël - against<br> škof - over<br> kjüp’ - until ===The Genitive Form=== When a succeeding noun is put in the genitive case, the prepositions carry the following meanings: k’ölź - of<br> lẃant - because of<br> dùch - without<br> gdom - on top of<br> chwodj - despite, in spite of<br> hnýs - with (as a means of use)<br> bjël - instead of<br> škof - opposite, across<br> kjüp’ - between ===The Locative Form=== When a succeeding noun is put in the locative case, the prepositions carry the following meanings: k’ölź - to (a place)<br> lẃant - into<br> dùch - through<br> gdom - by, near<br> chwodj - before<br> hnýs - next to<br> bjël - underneath<br> škof - behind<br> kjüp’ - ago ===Using Prepositions=== Prepositions change up the word order in a sentence, slightly. Normally, the indefinite article precedes the noun. When using a preposition, the preposition always comes right before the noun. Therefore, if an indefinite article is in use, the article comes right before the preposition. Of course, if there is no article, then this doesn't pose a problem for learners. k’ölźy pwotly - for the woman<br> hnýsü t’sëlšü - next to the island BUT: źjy k’ölź pwotly - for a woman<br> źjü hnýs t’sëlšü - next to an island Arophania 2844 18135 2007-01-06T10:40:32Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Definition and boundaries */ {{wip}} '''Arophania''' {{IPA|[æɹə'feɪniə]}} ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Araphein''''' {{IPA|/'arəfi:n/}}, [[Dethric language|Dethric]] '''''Arophan''''' {{IPA|/'arəfa:n/}}) is one of five continents of [[Ilethes]], in the south of the planet. It is the location of one of the three traditional [[Ilethes cradles of civilisation|cradles of civilisation]], and home to one of the greatest civilisations, the [[Areth]]. Arophania constitutes approximately 13% of the total land area of Ilethes, and accounts for almost 24% of its population. {{Translit|what=toponyms|why=historical|what1=modern political names|scheme1=respective transliteration schemes of the local languages concerned|what2=geographical features known to the [[Ilethes in the Classical Age|Classical world]]|scheme2=[[Vesian system]]}} ==Etymology== ==Cartography== [[Image:Arophania physical.jpg|thumb|right|360px|Physical map of Arophania with relief and drainage shown.]] Arophania is usually depicted, in the [[Gathenic depiction]], at the bottom of maps towards the middle, south of [[Marcasia]] but with [[Eresphria]] and [[Canthres]] on the west, and [[Istheusia]] on the east; i.e. the map is centred on Marcasia. For this reason the southern areas of the continent are exaggerated and overrepresented due to distortion in the equatorially-oriented projection. ===Definition and boundaries=== Besides the mainland, offshore islands belonging to the Arophanian continental shelf are also considered to be part of Arophania. While this definition presents little problem concerning the [[Tumides archipelago|Tumides]] and [[Sissemen archipelago|Sissemen]] islands, the [[Ingas archipelago]] rightly belongs on the [[Marcasia]]n continental shelf save a few islands, but are culturally closer tied to Arophania. In the same way, the [[Hibondassian archipelago]] sits on the [[Arophanian plate]], but are considered geopolitically and culturally part of [[Istheusia]]. ==Geology== The rock and soil of Arophania is rich in ferromagnesian compounds, which besides constituting excellent ground for cultivation, also gave rise to a well-developed mining industry in [[Arithia]]. Due to the rock composition, volcanoes in Arophania erupt the more fluid basaltic lava, which spreads rapidly across larger areas before cooling and solidifying to form fertile lava plateaus, such as the [[Nimaean plain]]. ==Land and climate== ===West Arophanian Plain=== {{main|West Arophanian plain}} ===Alerryagi and the Eastern Seaboard=== {{main|Alerryagi}} {{main|Hallaryagi}} {{main|Eastern Seaboard}} {{main|Nimaean plain}} ===Sissemen and Tumides archipelagos=== {{main|Sissemen archipelago}} {{main|Tumides archipelago}} ==Territories and regions== The single most prominent political entity on Arophania is the republic of [[Arithia]], whose Arophanian portion (known as [[Cadaeria]]) occupies the eastern half of the continent as well as parts of the [[West Arophanian Plain]], lying across the [[Alerryagi]]. ===Historical regions=== Owing to the long human presence on Arophania, the continent has been divided and redivided a great many times over by various peoples, rulers and states. As such, the borders of most historical regions have been obfuscated by time and confusion. The following is a list of the more prominent of them: *[[Calagia]], a coastal region on the northeastern coast and the traditional heartland and core of Areth civilisation; the region encompasses in totality **[[Lazeia (region)|Lazeia]], the rough historical extent of the [[Lazeia (kingdom)|early Areth kingdom]] centred around the historical city of [[Lazea]], excluding its [[Marcasia]]n possessions. **[[Gambria]], the area of an eponymous early Areth kingdom rival to Lazea. *[[Nimaea]], in the southeast of the continent, the location of the [[Nimaean plains]] and the source of the [[Theph river|Theph]] and [[Nes river|Nes]] rivers. *[[Ajatia]], an especially fertile crescent in the West Arophanian Plain, of great strategic importance in olden times due to its location at the crossroads of many major transport routes, and consequently the site of many terrible and bloody battles. ==Water== ===Oceans, seas & straits=== The continent of Arophania is bounded on the north by the [[Chisthian Sea]], which separates it from [[Marcasia]], channeling into the [[Issol A'i]] eastwards (meeting the [[Ingas archipelago]] midway) and opening up into the [[Denurean Sea]] westwards. East of Arophania lies the [[Auzirean Sea]], and also the [[Issol Ardem]] that separates the [[Sissemen archipelago]] from the mainland. On the south Arophania meets the [[Thorfu]], and beyond the [[Issol Nau]] lies the [[Tumides archipelago]]. The [[As am Iraph]], or, misleadingly, the ''Eastern Ocean'' (see article on the origin of the English name), lies to the west of Arophania. ===Rivers & lakes=== Whereas the west of Arophania is an immensely fertile plain and the east is considerably more mountainous, the east is richer in rivers and lakes than the west, boasting of the prominent [[Theph river|Theph]] and [[Nes river|Nes]] rivers that both source from the meltwater of the snow-capped [[Alerryagi]] and empty into the Chisthian, and the [[Varant river]] flowing west to east and emptying into the Auzirean. Crisscrossing the rest of the [[Eastern Seaboard]] are various tributaries of the three such as the [[Eithan river|Eithan]], the [[Dobrae river|Dobrae]] and the [[Loda river|Loda]], the latter of which begins life in [[Lake Charia]], the highest and consequently most remote, pristine and scenic of the [[Barrier Lakes]], of which other major members include the lakes [[Lake Rist|Rist]], [[Lake Everodes|Everodes]], [[Lake Augars|Augars]] and [[Lake Dumache|Dumache]]. The [[West Arophanian Plain]], on the other hand, counts just the [[Caine river|Caine]], [[Sami river|Sami]] and the [[Tamos river|Tamos]] rivers (all of which originate in the [[Hallaryagi]]) among its notables, and contains just one lake (albeit of considerable size), [[Lake Tago]]. ==Ethnography== {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Continents of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Modalnian 2845 14547 2006-10-14T20:19:36Z Maailmaniag 263 {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |'''Modalnian'''<br>'''Špüchre Modalnia''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||Modalnia |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||(unnamed) |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||528,319,211 |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||(unnamed)<br> &nbsp;Modalnian<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Modalnian''' |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||SVO |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: ||Inflecting |- |valign="top"|Morphosyntactic alignment: ||Nominative-Accusative |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||maailmaniag ||2006 |} Modalnian (<i>Eng: Modalnian</i>, <i>Nat: špüchre modalnia</i> is a language spoken on the planet of Meishuko, in an alternate universe.

From the perspective of the [[Areth]], it might be considered the most important sea, due to its great contributions to the rise and dominance as well as the economic well-being of the Areth, who have settled around, ruled and controlled the sea for more than two thousand unbroken years.

It is the largest and most historically significant member of the [[Arophanic languages|Arophanic language family]], and is also one of the earliest attested languages of [[Ilethes]]. The language has an unbroken literary tradition, written in the [[Lazeic alphabet]], of at least 2,500 years. Academically, the names '''Arithide''' or '''the Arithide language''' are umbrella terms covering [[Modern Arithide]] and its diachronic predecessors (most notably [[Classical Arithide]]), and, in certain circles, closely-related regional lects. In common parlance, however, they simply refer to the modern language, at times specifically the standard variant. Unlike French, whose use is overseen by the ''Académie française'', there is no official regulatory body charged with standardising Arithide usage, vocabulary, grammar and orthography. Similarly to English, however, the language regulates itself through the standardising effects of the print and broadcast media, particularly through the authority of four major dictionaries, the ''[[Renquau Dictionary of the Arithide Language|Renquau]]'', ''[[Anvers Comprehensive Dictionary|Anvers]]'', ''[[Caema Compendium|Caema]]'' and ''[[Complete Dictionary of Modern Arithide|Līs]]''. The first three are compiled and published by eponymous universities, while the last is published by the [[Lazea]]n broadsheet ''Līs Ōrēs'' (hence the common appellation). ==Name and Genealogy== The name ''Arithide'' is from the Arithide ''arithīde'', combining ''Areth'' with ''-īde'', the suffix denoting languages. An older name for the language was ''[[Arithian]]'', but this name gradually fell out of favour as [[Nativisation]] gained traction in the 1990s [[CIE]]. ==Geographic distribution== Arithide is spoken as a first language by over 580 million people in [[Arithia]] and another 170 million across 14 other states in [[Marcasia]] where the language has official status, and of these, more than 600 million are native, ethnic [[Areth]] speakers. A further estimated 350 million speak it as a second or third language, mainly centred in and around [[Dethria]] and southern [[Marcasia]] where the sociocultural influence of the [[Lazeian Empire]] is still felt, bringing the total number of speakers of Arithide to approximately 1.1 billion people today across the world. ===Official Status=== Outside of [[Arithia]], the 14 other states with Arithide as an official language are, in alphabetical order: # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ==History== {{main|History of the Arithide language}} ==Characteristics== ==Writing== ===Lazeic alphabet=== {{main|Lazeic alphabet}} ===Orthography=== ==Dialects== ==See also== *[[History of the Arithide language]] *[[Ancient Arithide]] *[[Classical Arithide]] *[[Vulgar Arithide]] *[[Koine Arithide]] *[[Renaissance Arithide]] *[[Modern Arithide]] {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] [[Category: Arithide]] Chisthias Sea 2854 14575 2006-10-15T05:24:16Z Denihilonihil 119 [[Chisthias Sea]] moved to [[Chisthian Sea]] #REDIRECT [[Chisthian Sea]] Category:Geography of Ilethes 2855 16141 2006-11-21T02:11:31Z Christina 18 This page links articles pertaining to the geography of the constructed universe of [[Ilethes]].

Unlike the continents of Earth, the Iletheride continents are visually "centred" around and lie rather close to Marcasia, leaving more than a third of the planet's surface covered by the [[As am Iraph]] or Eastern Ocean. ==Cartography== ===Gathenic depiction=== The [[Gathenic depiction]] is the most common and usual way of arranging the five continents on a map. With [[Marcasia]] approximately in the centre of the map, [[Arophania]] at the bottom, [[Istheusia]] to the right and [[Canthres]] and [[Eresphria]] near the top-left corner, the depiction splits the [[As am Iraph]] between the left and right extremes of the map, much as the Pacific Ocean is on most maps of the Earth. The Gathenic is the most favoured cartographic arrangement, as it conveniently represents as well the anthropological divisions of [[Ilethes]]: not only the east-west division between the [[Old World (Ilethes)|Old]] and [[New World (Ilethes)|New World]]s, but also the sometimes overlapping separation of the world into [[Arithic culture|Arithic]], [[Nospheric culture|Nospheric]], [[Carabaeic culture|Carabaeic]] and [[Dethritic culture|Dethritic]] blocs of cultural influence. ===Sopharic depiction=== The [[Sopharic depiction]] centres the map approximately in the [[Denurean Sea]]. The depiction minimises the splitting of geographically and politically contiguous areas by clustering all the continents to the left of the map, and depicting the [[As am Iraph]] as a large open body of water on the right. ===Arophanic depiction=== The [[Arophanic depiction]], so named by historians, was most commonly used in the [[Ilethes in the Classical Age|classical era]], and centred the map around [[Arophania]], which, along with the [[Thorfu]], was shown disproportionately larger than either [[Marcasia]] or [[Istheusia]], which were squashed in the top and right areas of the map. In early maps, neither [[Canthres]] nor [[Eresphria]] was shown, while in later productions their depiction gradually progressed from incomplete land masses trailing off the edge of the map, to full standalone continents, albeit still inaccurately drawn. ==Old & New Worlds== [[Ilethes]] is commonly divided into the [[Old World (Ilethes)|Old]] and [[New World (Ilethes)|New]] worlds, a geographical division east-west that spans the culturally- and historically-based division into the [[Eastern civilisation (Ilethes)|Eastern world]] and the [[Western civilisation (Ilethes)|Western world]]. The terms are intriguingly accurate from a prehistorical point-of-view: the Old World includes the long-inhabited continents of [[Istheusia]], [[Marcasia]] and [[Arophania]] (which have shown traces of human presence dating back hundreds of thousands of years), while the New World continents, [[Eresphria]] and [[Canthres]], were only inhabited by humans less than 40,000 years ago, as far as archaeological evidence has shown.

Chalanya began her career as a member of the [[Council of Twelve]], and was soon named as [[Nrastaist Supreme Matriarch|Supreme Matriarch]] (as a puppet of certain high-ranking church leaders), following which, she united the Nrastaist states into the Second Empire, with herself as Empress. As she claimed more power for herself, centralizing the Second Empire, and expanding it, the Council of Twelve began criticizing her, and demanded that she step down from the leadership of the faith. She began formally separating the offices of Empress and Supreme Matriarch. Her daughters, and later granddaughters and great-granddaughters, were proclaimed Imperial Princesses, and organized into an [[Imperial Family Council|advisory Council]]. She established that neither the Empress nor the Supreme Matriarch should have absolute power in her sphere, but rather, should listen to, respectively, the Imperial Family Council and the Council of Twelve. She ordained that succession to the Throne should be by election, with the Imperial Princesses electing one of their own to the position of Empress, and that the Empress should appoint a new Supreme Matriarch. After 96 Galhafan years (68 Earth years) of power, she formally resigned her dual positions, though retaining significant influence in both the sacred and the secular spheres of power until her death. == Succession == The Kasshi did not practice primogeniture, and succession could often move between distant relatives. Imperial Princesses (descendants of the dynastic founder) were divided into ranked categories, according to a simple principle. Daughters of an Empress (whether the reigning one or a previous one) were Princesses of the First Degree. Granddaughters of an Empress were Princesses of the Second Degree, Great-granddaughters were Third Degree and so forth. Descent was only counted along maternal lines. There was one minor complication to this - a granddaughter of a still-living Empress whose mother predecesed the Empress would be considered a Princess in the First Degree, though ''her'' daughters would remain Third Degree. A great-granddaughter of an Empress whose mother and grandmother likewise predeceased the Empress would also become First Degree. Any adult Princess in the First Degree was eligible to succeed to the Throne. If there were no adult Princess in the First Degree, then adult Princesses in the Second Degree would be eligible, and if no Second Degree Princesses were available, then Third-Degree, and so forth. There was, generally speaking, a preference for succession by the previous Empress' daughter, though at times, the Throne would rotate among two or three branches of a family. Upon the death or resignation of an Empress, the Imperial Family Council would convene to elect a new Empress from among the eligible Princesses. During this Interregnum, the IFC and the [[Council of Rulers]] would collectively wield the powers of the Throne. Frequently, the previous Empress would have expressed an intended heir, and such heir would, in most cases, be elected, though there was no rule that the Council had to elect the previous Empress' designated heir. == Imperial Family == In principle, any female-line descendant of the dynastic founder were classified as Imperial Princesses or Imperial Prince. In principle, beyond the seventh or eighth degree, Princesses tended to descend to the [[Kasshi Nobility|nobility]], being granted a noble title while being stripped of their Imperial Title. Such descended Imperial Family members and their descendants were excluded from the succession, being a new noble clan. Some Imperial Princesses were granted special hereditary titles which granted their holder a certain Imperial Degree independent of their actual geneological descent. However, such titles could never carry an honor above Imperial Princess in the Fourth Degree. == Non-Standard Successions == In the event that no adult Imperial Princesses exist, the Interregnum would continue for longer than the conventional period. If any First Degree Princesses existed, then the first one to reach adulthood would automatically become Empress. If no First Degree Princesses existed, then the first Second Degree Princess would automatically become Empress upon reaching adulthood, and so forth. During such lenghthy Interregna, the Supreme Matriarch would wield the powers of the Crown. The [[Council of Twelve]] would elect a Supreme Matriarch in the event of a vacancy during a Long Interregnum. In the event that ''no'' Imperial Princesses existed, the [[Council of Twelve]] would elect a new Empress, who would become a dynastic founder. Frequently, the new Empress would have some geneological connection with the previous dynasty, possibly belonging to a noble clan descended from the old dynasty, or having a male-line connection. Dynasty-founding Empresses would frequently take a husband from among the Imperial Princes, especially those close to the last Empress of the last dynasty. == Dynasties == *[[Chalanya Dynasty]] [[Category:Kasshi Empresses|*]] Lheinead Pitch Split 2877 30374 2008-04-01T03:16:34Z Humancadaver101 212 Abandoned Idea Nevermind.

Their name derives not from the city of [[Lazea]], but from the [[Lazeian Empire]] of the [[Areth]], which brought the Classical and [[Vulgar Arithide]] tongues with their conquest of the region. Though genetically Arithidic, the Lazeic languages today, despite being similar to one another, are markedly different from the Classical Arithide descendants spoken in [[Arophania]], or even in southern Marcasia, due to historical geopolitical factors and the [[Pharrian linguistic union]]. ==High vs. Low Lazeic== ==Litsena== ==Samecian== ==Vethudic== ==Hyrrgonian== {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Classical Arithide 2879 51969 2010-02-20T23:29:09Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Verbal class */ '''Classical Arithide''' is an ancient [[Arophanic languages|Arophanic language]] of the [[Arithidic languages|Arithidic branch]], originally spoken in [[Calagia]], the coastal region in northeast [[Arophania]] immediately bordering the [[Issol A'i]] and surrounding the ancient capital of [[Isphea]]. It was the formal administrative language of the [[Lazeian Empire]], and later adopted as the liturgical language of [[Acian Pheism]]. The language is highly inflecting, relying on morphological affixes instead of word order for its grammatical structure. Today, despite being universally acknowledged as a dead language, with very few fluent and no native speakers, Classical Arithide is still significant in fields such as science, academia and law, providing many terms and neologistic roots, and as a subject (variously as "Classics", "Classical studies" and the like) it is still widely studied in schools across [[Ilethes]], reflecting its enduring importance as the major international language of the historical world. ==History== {{main|History of Classical Arithide}} Classical Arithide is the common appellation of the highly stylised Isphean dialect of the [[Arithide language]] in the [[Ilethes in the Classical Age|classical age]], which, by virtue of Isphea's situation as a political, cultural and economic centre, had been exposed to and influenced by various other dialects and languages of the early [[Lazeian Empire]]. The language developed from [[Ancient Arithide]], the oldest form of the language spoken by some of the earliest settlers in [[Calagia]], records of which have been found inscribed on pottery and drawn on paintings. Whereas the ancient language was written with a mixed system (see [[Koeta inscriptions]]) of a syllabary interspersed with ideographical symbols for certain special words or phrases, by the establishment of the empire a well-developed alphabet had already been in use for a while, though the details of this advancement are sketchy at best. By virtue of its position as the dialect of the capital, Classical Arithide was spoken in the courts of the Lazeian Empire, and, with this bolstering prestige, gained widespread currency through the Empire's [[Exploratory Delegations of the Lazeian Agia Dynasty|trade and exploratory expeditions]], [[Cultural influence of the Areth|cultural influence]], and establishment of colonies, tributaries and vassal states across a large swathe of the [[Western civilisation (Ilethes)|western world]]. It hence served also as the language of learning, throughout antiquity to the [[Renaissance (Ilethes)|Renaissance]]. With its rich vocabulary and many expressive possibilities, it was the dominant literary language even in areas outside the Empire, influencing such tongues as [[Dethric language|Dethric]], and it remains an important source of neologistic roots today. Classical Arithide is also the primary liturgical language of the [[Pheide]] faith. For more than a thousand years, Classical Arithide served as the ''lingua franca'' in trade, diplomacy, history, literature and many other fields besides. While most records found from that period&mdash;with its multiple golden ages of literature&mdash;are written almost uniformly in the elaborate literary form used in the courts, evidence suggests that centuries of common and daily use had eroded much of the classical tongue away by phonological changes and semantic shifts, resulting in a dichotomy between the written Classical Arithide, and [[Vulgar Arithide]] as actually spoken by subjects of the empire. At the same time, given its long lifetime as the primary international auxiliary language in the [[Western civilisation (Ilethes)|western Ilethes]], Classical Arithide also developed, in parallel, into [[Koine Arithide]], an alternative, albeit less highly-regarded, lingua franca. While the koine came to be widely used in the spheres of trade, missionary work, and other assorted forms of low-level contact, high-level international discourse in diplomacy, conferences and the like continued to be held in the classical tongue, and treaties, laws, contracts and other legally, politically or symbolically significant documents were still written therein. In the years leading up to and following the collapse of the [[Lazeian Empire]] in 1187 [[CIE]], the use of literary Classical Arithide waned sharply, while the vulgar dialects gained in local use, and accelerated their divergence both from the classical tongue and from one another, as the gradual disappearance of the written standard removed a common benchmark, such that the language of the middle and upper classes slowly merged with that of the plebeian masses. The [[Koine Arithide|koine]] managed to sustain itself for considerably longer, due to its nature as an auxiliary language, which favoured linguistic stability. As other trading nations rose in prominence, however, and the [[Areth]] started to fade, use of the koine also dropped, in favour of [[Dethric language|Dethric]], [[Kanandu language|Kanandu]] and various other languages. This ebb in the fortunes of Classical Arithide would last through the [[Dethria]]n rise to economic power, till the 16th century [[CIE]], when the [[Renaissance (Ilethes)|Renaissance]] created an impetus for its revival in the need to create numerous new terms and expressions that followed the rapid scientific advances and other social developments of the age. Classical roots were borrowed and reborrowed in the coining of new terms, classical terms were accorded new meanings as they were loaned directly into the vernaculars, creating doublets. Interest in classical studies also soared, as scientists looked to the past for noteworthy theories and inventions that had fallen out of the collective consciousness, composers tried to revive the classical musical flavour, the new aristocrats sought to recreate imperial grandeur in architecture and cityscape, and poets romanticised the old empire in their verses. As the relative isolation of the [[Mediaeval Age (Ilethes)|Middle Ages]] turned into the increased international contact, the need for a politically neutral language for use in diplomacy and negotiation triggered the revival of Classical Arithide, albeit with modified pronunciation and a widely expanded vocabulary, known as [[Renaissance Arithide]]. This language enjoyed a brief spread to general use, but quickly fell out of favour as national vernaculars continued to absorb large numbers of classical coinages, and expediency as well as pragmatism prompted the eventual adoption of those languages, notable among them modern Arithide, even as the classical tongue grew in importance in academia as a widely-understood auxiliary language in which to publish papers. ===Legacy & contemporary use=== {{seealso|Classical Arithide phrases in contemporary use}} {{seealso|Classical Arithide roots}} Ever since the [[Renaissance (Ilethes)|Renaissance]] up till modern times, Classical Arithide has reemerged as a significant language&mdash;no longer in people's homes or in the marketplace, but in academic, especially scientific, circles, where the language remains an important source of roots for neologisms, across many different tongues from [[Modern Arithide]] to [[Dethric language|Dethric]] to [[Finean language|Finean]] and even, directly or indirectly, [[Kiryeb language|Carabaean]]. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=13 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || <span style="color: #c0c0c0">{{IPA|ŋ}}</span> |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || {{IPA|θ}} || {{IPA|ð}} || {{IPA|s}} || {{IPA|z}} || || || {{IPA|h}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || || || || <span style="color: #c0c0c0">{{IPA|dz}}</span> |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} </div> ===Vowels=== <div style="text-align: center; float: left;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; margin-right: 12px;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Short vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || {{IPA|y}} || || || || || || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || {{IPA|e}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|o}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || <span style="color: #c0c0c0">{{IPA|ɛ}}</span> || || || || || || || <span style="color: #c0c0c0">{{IPA|ɔ}}</span> |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Long vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i:}} || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|u:}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || {{IPA|e:}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|o:}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a:}} |} </div> ==Orthography== ===Romanisation=== ==Grammar== {{main|Classical Arithide grammar}} The grammar of Classical Arithide, though in modern times based on a system not unlike the European one based on parts of speech, was [[Traditional Arithide grammar|traditionally]] centred on the dichotomy between a class of words which underwent declension (the Nominal class), and one which underwent conjugation (the Verbal class). This distinction had blurred by the height of the Equora dynasty, with the adoption of declension in certain cases for the Verbal class, for example, and is almost certainly not definitive in the Classical Arithide studied today, which is the literary language of the Equora. ===Nominal class=== {{main|Classical Arithide declension}} Owing to the language's inflectionary nature, Classical Arithide nouns, pronouns and certain of its adjectives must be declined (i.e. inflected) to provide grammatical meaning. A group of words that decline in the same way is known as a "declension class". There are 5 declension classes for nouns and the same for adjectives; pronouns are generally irregular. Each noun is declined for 11 cases, in the singular and plural. The 11 cases of Classical Arithide are: *'''Nominative''', which marks the subject of a verb *'''Topical''', which marks the topic of a sentence *'''Accusative''', which marks the object of a verb *'''Genitive''', which marks possession by *'''Dative''', which marks motion towards, and by extension benefaction to etc. *'''Locative''', which marks location (with places) or indicates shift of grammatical focus (with objects and people) *'''Ablative''', which marks motion away or existence apart, and by extension is used with prepositions such as ''parō'' "about, regarding" or ''etel'' "by (agentive)" *'''Instrumental''', which marks instruments, and by extension accompaniment, using the preposition ''syn'' "with" *'''Vocative''', which marks direct address *'''Connective''', which is an open-ended stem form to which certain affixes or other nouns are appended, e.g. ''salumos'' "heaven" + ''innos'' "top" > ''saluminnum'' "in heaven" (lit. "on heaven"; ''innos'' is in the locative) and ''allas'' "city" + ''dolō'' "around" (from ''dolos'' "surroundings") > ''alladolō'' "around the city" *'''Essive''', which marks existence as ===Verbal class=== {{main|Classical Arithide conjugation}} Classical Arithide verbals are divided into five conjugation patterns based on whether their stems end in any of the six vowels or a consonant; a small group of consonant-stems that take the vowel-stem verb endings make up the last, mixed conjugation. Each class is conjugated for four voices, three basic aspects, five derivative aspects, seven moods and three tenses: *'''Voices:''' active, middle, passive, causative, potentive *'''Aspects:''' imperfective, perfective, perfect, habitual/generic, inceptive, frequentative, protractive *'''Moods:''' indicative, subjunctive, optative/desiderative, jussive, imperative, cohortative, [[Classical Arithide conjugation#Negation|negative]] **The interrogative mood is marked by a following particle. *'''Tenses:''' Only the future tense is explicitly marked, independently of aspect. The predicative use of certain verbs as adjectives is expected, but the attributive use grew out of a grammatical device, now largely disused, of making verbs into modifiers by displacing them to the front of nouns rather than behind them, as is the usual SOV order. ==See also== *[[Classical Arithide grammar]] *[[Classical Arithide roots]] *[[Classical Arithide poetry]] *[[Classical Arithide phrases in contemporary use]] *[[Arithide Sample Text Corpus]] [[Category:Ilethes]] [[Category:Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category:Arophania]] [[Category:Marcasia]] [[Category:Eresphria]] [[Category:Canthres]] [[Category:Arithide]] Areth 2880 29410 2008-02-28T17:08:49Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Terms */ The '''Areth''' are a people inhabiting the continents of [[Arophania]] and [[Marcasia]], and whose country, [[Arithia]], spans the two. While not all Areth live within the borders of modern-day Arithia and not all Arithians are ethnically Areth, the concept of [[Areth nationhood]] has always been closely tied to that of an [[Arithide]] state. ==Terms== The name ''Areth'', while in common use even among the Areth, is not autonymous, instead being of [[Dethric language|Dethric]] origin. The name arose on contact with the [[Exploratory Delegations of the Lazeian Agia Dynasty|exploratory delegations]] of the [[Lazeian Empire]] during the [[Agia Dynasty]], which first arrived in [[Dethria]] in 260 BCE (Agia 65). It is said that due to differences in language, when the [[Dethrians]] approached the party that had disembarked from the [[fevoun]]s, enquired about their provenance and gleaned the reply that they had come from the "venerable realm of the Agia" (''ō alēmir lisogāros Agiarēthir''), all they could remember were the last three syllables ''arēthir'', whence derived the appellation. While the anecdote is most probably apocryphal, ethnologists consider the name ''Areth'' almost certainly to have been derived from ''Agiarēthir''. The Areth of old called themselves the ''iounai'' (sing. ''ither''), literally meaning "the I people". While it is as yet unclear regarding the origin of the name, the word gradually evolved two plurals, one being the original irregular ''iounai'', and the other the regularisation ''ethirai''. ''Ither'' has undergone a semantic broadening, catalysed by contact with the Dethrians, and its modern guise, ''iter'', means simply "person" today. While the fossilised regular [[classical plural]] ''ethirai'' also broadened to mean "peoples" as a collective noun, ''iounai'' shifted with the rise of nationalism to denote the Areth as a whole nation, ethnically speaking. ==History== {{main|History of Arithia}} ===Origins=== Due to the ambiguity of archaeological evidence, the origins of the Areth are shrouded in doubt, and while the [[Origins of the Areth#Marcasian Theory of Origin|Marcasian Theory of Origin]] has gained widespread currency both in academic circles and among the general public, much of it relies on inference, deduction and intelligent hypothesis to fill in the gaps left by archaeology, or the deficiencies thereof. According to the Marcasian Theory, the Areth first arose as a distinctive ethnicity ([[Arithide language|Arithide]]: ''kyteos'') as the sedentary, agricultural [[Erda culture]] along the lower reaches and delta of the river [[Or river|Or]], more than 6,000 years ago. The Erda were in turn descended ultimately from the hunter-gatherers who had settled in southwest [[Marcasia]] approximately 67,000 years ago. Hemmed in by the [[Chisthian Sea]] and the [[Iryagi]], the Erda peoples faced, from the beginning, very visible limits to the the land and its fertility, and such persistent population pressures led to successive waves of emigration, some northwards over the Iryagi into the Marcasian interior, but most were headed south across the Chisthian, the easier route by far for a fishing people. This so-called [[Southerly Movement]], by which the Areth came to settle in northeastern [[Arophania]], was once thought to have emptied their homeland in [[Erdia]] and attritionally established the settlements of the [[Nuroi culture|Nuroi]], [[Pisa culture|Pisa]] and [[Duvai culture|Duvai]] cultures along the way, but is now considered to have left a minority behind, who fled a flooding of the Or to establish the mentioned three successor cultures.. ==Culture, customs and religion== ===Language=== ===Names=== ===Dress=== ===Rites and rituals=== ===Regional variation=== ==Areth outside Arithia== {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Peoples of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Category:Peoples of Ilethes 2881 16168 2006-11-21T02:25:19Z Christina 18 This page links to articles relating to the peoples (nations, races, ethnicities) of the constructed universe of [[Ilethes]].

While [[Arithia]] was already inhabited by hunter-gatherers more than a million years ago, the discernible start of a distinctive Areth culture comes well after the widespread adoption of sedentary agriculture, and the precursor of the modern Areth is widely accepted to be the [[Erda culture]] of six millenia ago. Owing to the pioneering invention of writing by the Areth, modern historians are blessed with a wide array of historical sources and texts in various levels of detail from various perspectives and time periods; for the same reason, however, they are also beset with a complicated indistinction between folk legend, speculation and fact regarding the origins and early history of the nation. ==Prehistory of Arithia== ===Origins & Urheimat=== {{main|Origins of the Areth}} Archaeological evidence suggests that the homeland of the predecessors of the Areth is located in [[Erdia]] on Marcasia, a narrow coastal plain in the southwest of the continent drained by the river [[Or river|Or]] and the site of the [[Erda culture]], the earliest sedentary settlement found, dating to more than 6,000 years ago. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Lazeian Empire 2890 17418 2006-12-13T16:56:53Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Equora dynasty (480 CIE&mdash;907 CIE) */ {{wip}} The '''Lazeian Empire''' (326 BCE - 1187) was the longest-lasting empire in the history of [[Ilethes]]. It was so named after its latter capital city of [[Lazea]], but did not in fact have an independent autonym, being known only by its dynastic titles. [[Dethria]]n records of ''erevan Lazeaan eminothauris'' ("the most beautiful empire of Lazeaia ''(sic)''") first appeared around 64 BCE, but evidence of contact survives from the middle [[Agia Dynasty]]. ==Kingdom of Ispheia== ===From city to kingdom=== {{main|Ispheia (kingdom)}} The roots of the Lazeian Empire lie in the city of [[Isphea]], which became its very first capital. Beginning as an alliance of an assortment of [[List of the ancient Areth tribes|Areth tribes]] city-state ===From Isphea to Lazea=== ==Dynasties of the Lazeian Empire== ===Agia dynasty (326 BCIE&mdash;103 CIE)=== The first dynasty of the Lazeian Empire, the Agia dynasty ({{IPA|['agia]}}) was reputed for its stabilising influence on the empire even as it expanded. With a strong familial tradition of erudition, impartiality and benevolence that ensured the competency of each imperial heir, the Agias managed to sustain their rule for more than 400 years, during which the Lazeian empire firmly established trade as its ''raison d'être'', founding trading posts across Arophania and much of Marcasia, forging trading relations, blocs and alliances with nations it encountered. ====Dadorean interlude (1 CIE&mdash;3 CIE)==== The Dadorean interlude was a shortlived insurgency in Agia 326 (1 [[CIE]]) following the chaos resulting from the catastrophic [[eruption of Mount Eramena]]. Seen by later historians as merely an opportunistic attempt at gaining power, the insurgent movement initially made significant gains, wresting control of large swathes of northeastern [[Cadaeria]] and briefly forcing the [[Agia House]] from power, but faltered after barely two years as infighting broke out among the rebels, dissatisfaction turned many against them, and the Agias rapidly recovered their influence and reestablished control. ===Balathias dynasty (103 CIE&mdash;221 CIE)=== The Balathias dynasty was known for its militarism and expansionism, especially compared to the Agia before it. ===Ospedia dynasty (221 CIE&mdash;281 CIE)=== ===Aphoiros dynasty (281 CIE&mdash;443 CIE)=== ===Neira dynasty (443 CIE&mdash;486 CIE)=== The shortlived Neira dynasty presided over a series of conflicts in a civil war originating in the late Aphoiros. ===Equora dynasty (480 CIE&mdash;907 CIE)=== The Equora dynasty marked the apex of the Lazeian Empire, during which it became the largest and richest state in the world, with trading posts, colonies and tributary and vassal states stretching from [[Eresphria]] to [[Istheusia]]. At its height, the empire controlled all of [[Arophania]], three-quarters of [[Marcasia]], the southern quarter of Eresphria and much of the Istheusian west coast, dominating the seas and trade routes in between. The language of the middle three hundred years of this dynasty is what is commonly known today as [[Classical Arithide]], and it was during those [[three hundred golden years]] that most of the enduring works of [[Arithide literature]] were penned, and the expressive possibilities of the language greatly extended. ===Hennem dynasty (908 CIE&mdash;969 CIE)=== ===Canart dynasty (969 CIE&mdash;1024 CIE)=== ===Thorain dynasty (1024 CIE&mdash;1187 CIE)=== The last dynasty of the Lazeian Empire, the Thorain was, throughout its existence, plagued by internal rift, external threats and a general economic malaise that was exacerbated in its later years by severe famines owing to years of drought. ==Collapse and aftermath== {{main|Mediaeval Age (Ilethes)}} The collapse of the Thorain dynasty was initially to have led directly to the establishment of a replacement dynasty, led by the rebels, but with the betrayal of the Andu and their capture of [[Isphea]] and [[Lazea]], the rebels swiftly descended into infighting and split into multiple factions, each of which established its own kingdom in various parts of the former imperial territory, kickstarting the Mediaeval Age in [[Western civilisation (Ilethes)|the West]]. A shortlived alliance, or union, existed among the feudal states for a time in opposition to the Andu, but once the two historical capitals were recaptured the concord quickly broke down once more, and Arithia would not be reunified until the [[Unified Arithia|conquests]] of [[Robecos Tivoui]]. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Isphea 2891 27868 2008-01-01T12:02:13Z Denihilonihil 119 {{wip}} '''Isphea''' ({{IPA|[ɪs'feɪə]}}, [[Modern Arithide]] {{IPA|[is'fa:]}}, [[Classical Arithide]] '''''Ispheas''''' {{IPA|['isfe.as]}}) was the first capital of the [[Lazeian Empire]] {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Cities of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Or river 2892 18126 2007-01-06T03:40:19Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Or river''' {{IPA|[ɔ:]}} ([[Modern Arithide]] {{IPA|[œ:]}}, [[Classical Arithide]] {{IPA|[ɔr]}}) originates in the central [[Iryagi]], and follows the Iryagi foothills closely first southwest then southeast into [[Erdia]] before emptying into the [[Chisthian Sea]] through a triangular delta. ==Etymology== The name of the Or derives ultimately from [[Proto-Arophanic]] ''*uora'', meaning, simply, river. From the same root also arose the modern word for "river", ''ores'', as well as the names of the [[Yos river|Yos]], [[Jedi river|Jedi]], [[Varant river|Varant]] and [[Ous river|Ous]] rivers. ==Historical course shifts== Due to the softness of the alluvial plain (partially the work of the Or's own rich mineral deposits) through which the lower Or flows, course shifts brought about by the sheer erosive power of its discharge have been very common throughout history, and are well documented by historians due to their magnitude and impact. While continually replenishing the mineral stock of the plain and assuring continued fertility, the swings of the river have proven disastrous for settlement, most recently, in 1992 [[CIE]], almost severing the water supply to the city of [[Kyris]] at its mouth. Historically, a shift in the course of the Or is believed to have resulted in the flooding of the [[Erda culture|Erda settlements]] sometime after the [[Southerly Movement]], triggering the flight to the telefluvial areas of the [[Nuroi culture|Nuroi]], [[Pisa culture|Pisa]] and [[Duvai culture|Duvai]] cultures.

The Mengolari Culture, discovered in a series of small caves near the present-day town of [[Mengolari]] in [[Lusedon Province]], was distinguished by a large number of flint plates in the shape of gingko leaves, speculated to have a ritual purpose; the Agalmare B Culture across the inland sea may be closely related to the Mengolam, and certainly both trade and conflict seems to have happened amongst them. In 1956 DN excavations for a high-rise housing estate to be built on what was then the outskirts of [[Isana]] uncovered several artifacts pointing to a neolithic civilisation in that area, including pottery, polished stone tools and long stilt houses of wood and coastal palm leaves - the remains found in the site, reconstructed, were estimated to be nearly 30 metres long, standing 1.2 metres on stilts, and around 4 metres wide. At first estimated to be around 3,500 years old, later dating placed it at around 3,000 BDN, making it a type site of a culture (now called the Narusgerya Culture after the district of its discovery) now believed to have stretched from 9,000 BDN to around 2,000 BDN. While the Narusgerya culture was the most advanced, populated and widespread civilisation on Masalne at the time, it was not the only one. Discoveries in [[Serteni Province]] in 1932, and later in [[Basene Province]] in 1946, reveal the existence of two other cultures, now known respectively as the Histari and Agalmare A Cultures; the first lasted from around 6,000 BDN to 2,200 BDN before the sites were mysteriously abandoned and eventually taken over by the Late Narusgerya, while the civilisation on Agalmare seems to have prospered around the same time as the Narusgerya on Masalne - extensive amounts of artifacts from both civilisations have been found on each other's territories, suggesting a well-developed trade network that survived even the collapse of the Narusgerya culture and its replacement by what is known as the [[Ostunisalme]] civilisation (which nonetheless retained much of the cultural aspects of the culture they conquered). Most important amongst the developments of these multiple cultures was the eventual adoption of a system of writing; some of the earliest markings shown definitively to be writing date from around 2,200 BDN, and within two centuries historical finds containing writing were common finds throughout Masalne and later Agalmare. By around 800 BDN, the scripts of the island had coalesced into two main scripts, known separately as [[Proto-Semasar A]] and [[Proto-Semasar B]].

The first representative settlement found of the culture lay approximately 6 ''[[keth]]'' (21km) northwest of modern-day [[Kyris]]. ==The river Or: genesis & destruction== The shifting course of the Or and the soft alluvial clay of the region probably was a double-edged sword to the Erda peoples: while the river ensured a constant replenishment of mineral deposits throughout the area to sustain the fertility of the region that had attracted settlement in the first place, the softness of the soil likely provided meagre protection from the heavily seasonal precipitation in the area or the hydraulic power of the Or. When the settlement ruins were first chanced upon, they were already severely eroded, and artefacts therefrom were scanty, consisting almost entirely of buried bones and stone tools, although the signs of human habitation are unmistakable: a buried mud-brick house exposed thanks to the erosive force of the river alerted archaeologists to the existence of a ruin in the first place. ==Significance of finds== Despite being the oldest culture found in the area, the Erda is considered the most advanced, with evidence found of rice and wheat cultivation, including preserved grains. The buried bones found in and around the settlements included those of domesticated sheep and cattle, as well as marine animals, indicating a significant degree of pastoral farming and fishing; an incomplete human skeleton was also discovered, thought to have originally been buried in a wooden or bamboo casket. While pottery or shards, key to undertsanding a newfound culture, was not found at any of the Erda sites, diverse and highly polished stone tools (including not a few made of obsidian) suggest a considerable level of technological advancement, as well as some degree of specialisation. The degree of destruction wrought by the river Or has been suggestive to archaeologists regarding the connection between the Erda culture and the somewhat younger but visibly closely related [[Nuroi culture|Nuroi]], [[Pisa culture|Pisa]] and [[Duvai culture|Duvai]] cultures: a hypothesis rapidly gaining in popularity and acceptance in academic circles today posits the establishment of the latter three cultures by flood refugees from the minority of the Erda people who had remained behind in the [[Southerly Movement]]; the siting of those three cultures considerable distances away from the river is claimed to be strong evidence. ==Scholarly debate== {{main|Origins of the Areth}} It is widely accepted that the [[Areth]] originated from the Erda culture, though the notion is still contested by certain individuals who believe that the Areth came to Erdia from [[Arophania]] rather than the other way round, citing as grounds for their stand the fact that artefacts excavated in Arophania date further back than any found thus far on [[Marcasia]]. Other discovered settlements&mdash;of the [[Nuroi culture|Nuroi]], [[Pisa culture|Pisa]] and [[Duvai culture|Duvai]] cultures, among others&mdash;have been linked to the Erda as successor cultures despite their relative backwardness. Proponents of the Arophanian Theory of Origin prefer to class those cultures as having arisen independently and subsequently subsumed into the invading Areth. ==See also== *[[Origins of the Areth]] *[[Calagian culture]] *[[Nuroi culture]] *[[Pisa culture]] *[[Duvai culture]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Prehistory of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Origins of the Areth 2895 19488 2007-02-21T17:40:08Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Non-archaeological evidence */ {{wip}} Due to the ambiguity of archaeological evidence, the '''origins of the Areth''' are shrouded in doubt, and while the [[#Marcasian Theory of Origin|Marcasian Theory of Origin]] has gained widespread currency both in academic circles and among the general public, much of it relies on inference, deduction and intelligent hypothesis to fill in the gaps left by archaeology, or the deficiencies thereof. For that reason, a vocal minority prefers the alternative [[#Arophanian Theory of Origin|Arophanian Theory]], which, while entirely based on solid archaeological evidence, suffers from its proponents' disregard of certain suggestive possibilities that are not as well-attested. ==Common ground== Fossils unearthed in [[Eoris province|Eoris]] establish the time-frame of early habitation in present-day [[Audoria]] as approximately 1.2 million years ago, and mitochondrial DNA dating has conclusively affirmed that the first modern humans in Audoria lived approximately 67,000 years ago as hunter-gatherers. While the existence 10,000 years ago of several advanced sedentary, rice-growing cultures is not disputed due to the strength of the evidence (see [[Marija culture]]), those cultures are not considered distinctly Arithide. The oldest artefacts believed to indicate the emergence of a discrete Arithide identity are pottery shards found in northeastern [[Arophania]] dating back 6,000 years at the sites of the [[Calagian culture]], which have left archaeologists confounded over their provenance, given the uniqueness and elaboration of their decoration (which precludes importation) and the refinement of the technique used in their making, which imply a certain degree of advancement. Current archaeological excavations have unearthed numerous other settlements, mostly younger than 6,000 years and generally classifiable into four cultures, namely the [[Meia culture]] (3700 BCE - 2400 BCE) located near the border between [[Phithera]] and [[Sirrac]] provinces, and the [[Nuroi culture|Nuroi]] (3600 BCE - 3000 BCE), [[Pisa culture|Pisa]] (3400 BCE - 2200 BCE) and [[Duvai culture|Duvai]] (3300 BCE - 1800 BCE)) cultures in the southernmost parts of [[Marcasia]]; all four exhibit cultures substantially inferior to the society that would credibly have left behind the pottery shards found in Arophania. One group of settlements, united by their common, severely eroded state, was the [[Erda culture]], and while the scarce remaining artefacts pointed to a relatively advanced culture, no evidence of pottery was unearthed, although given the level of progress evinced, pottery had logically had to be long in use and refined. ==Marcasian Theory of Origin== While specific details of the theory may vary depending on the conservativeness of the source, proponents of this view generally believe that the Areth first arose as a distinctive ethnicity ([[Arithide language|Arithide]]: ''kyteos'') as the sedentary, agricultural [[Erda culture]]. The Erda were in turn descended ultimately from the hunter-gatherers who had settled in southern [[Marcasia]] approximately 67,000 years ago. Hemmed in by the [[Chisthian Sea]] and the [[Iryagi]], the Erda peoples faced, from the beginning, very visible limits to the the land, and such persistent population pressures led to successive waves of migration, some initially northwards over the Iryagi into the Marcasian interior, but most were headed on the easier route south across the Chisthian via the narrow [[Issol A'i]], itself a rich fishing ground. By this so-called [[Southerly Movement]], the Areth came to settle in northeastern [[Arophania]], leaving behind in their homeland in [[Erdia]] only a minority of the tribe. The presence of other settlements along the way&mdash;notably the [[Pisa culture|Pisa]] and [[Duvai culture|Duvai]] cultures, both of which are proximate to the Issol A'i&mdash;was once explained as attritional settlements (i.e. settlements established by people who "dropped out" of the migration midway), but are now thought to be successor cultures to the Erda when the original homeland was extensively eroded and eventually flooded. Due to the nature of these new cultures, which were significantly more centred on fishery and seafaring given the lack of arable land, and which were also far less affluent than the Erda (since they were founded by presumably desperate refugees), Marcasian Theorists believe, attention turned away from the traditional craft of pottery, explaining the dramatic shift to simplistic patterns from the assumed complexity of the Erda. With the rise of the Areth on [[Arophania]] a number of centuries afterwards, the Urheimat of the [[Erdia]] region once again fell under mainstream Areth influence and control as a flow of reverse migration, known either as ''Nerioris Enos'' or, more simply, ''Nerienos'' (see [[Northerly Return]]), began to take place for a number of reasons, and the more complex culture that the Arophanian Areth had developed diffused throughout the lands that they settled. ===Non-archaeological evidence=== *'''Linguistics:''' Empirical evidence from the study of language distribution has ascertained that the highest density of sufficiently distinct dialects, which is a useful general indicator of the geographic origins of a people, occurs in southern [[Marcasia]], around the [[Erdia]] region. At the same time, these dialects exhibit features and constructions, such as a partial pitch accent in a few regional lects, and remnants of highly complex inflectional variations dependent on the speaker's social stratum, dating considerably further back than the general standard, or than even the [[Classical Arithide|classical tongue]], which further serves to reinforce the view of a [[Marcasia]]n Urheimat. *'''Lore and religion:''' Due to the not minor differences in climate between [[Erdia]] and [[Calagia]], certain discrepancies and odd references have been observed in the folklore and religious motifs of the Areth. The most obvious of these are the absence of the fir, pine and maple trees in the most traditional of Areth customs, in spite of their preponderance in [[Arophania]], while extensive references are made to the cypress, birch and oak, which did not cross the [[Chisthian Sea]] or even spread very near the [[Issol A'i]] until beginning the late [[Lazeian Empire|Aphoiros dynasty]], when human settlement and movement, and industry and commerce initiated the propulsion of the species eastwards and southwards, and onto Arophania, when the Aphoiran [[Emperor Lourant]] had the revered trees brought into Lazea and planted across much of Calagia. Other such indicators include the mythical [[Mount Emeris]], the abode of the gods and deities, whose descriptions in various ancient sources lead to a mountain uncannily similar to [[Mount Concogue]] in [[Erdia]]. ==Arophanian Theory of Origin== While settlements discovered around the Erda sites (such as the [[Nuroi culture|Nuroi]], [[Pisa culture|Pisa]] and [[Duvai culture|Duvai]] cultures) are generally agreed to have been successor cultures remnant after the ''Hibundivagos'' ("[[Southerly Movement]]"), the Arophanian Theory posits that these were settlements of a separate ethnos, who were either overrun or assimilated into the Areth when the latter arrived from across the [[Chisthian Sea]].

Calagian culture 2898 14781 2006-10-23T11:54:18Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Calagian culture''' is a Neolithic culture named after the [[Calagia]] region on the north coast of Arophania, heartland of the [[Areth]]. It is generally considered to be the direct successor to and of the [[Erda culture]] of southwest [[Marcasia]], and is the earliest appearance of the Areth in Arophania. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Calagia 2899 14783 2006-10-23T16:52:10Z Denihilonihil 119 '''Calagia''' ({{IPA|[kə'leɪdʒə]}}; [[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Kalagein''''' {{IPA|['kaləgi:n]}}) is a region on the north coast of [[Arophania]] It was and still is the heartland of the [[Areth]] civilisation, being the location of the [[Calagian culture]] of more than 5,000 years ago, as well as that of the two largest cities of [[Arithia]] in modern times, the capital [[Lazea]] and the former capital [[Isphea]]. ==Site & situation== Calagia sits at the doorway of Arophania to and from [[Marcasia]]. Occupying the northern coastal plain, the region overlooks the rich fishing grounds of the [[Issol A'i]], and, coupled with the fertility of its own soil thanks to mineral deposits from the [[Taphae-Nes river]], forms a conducive environment for the emergence of an advanced civilisation. ==Modern territorial divisions== Modern Calagia is divided among the [[List of Municipalities in Arithia|municipalities]] of Lazea and Isphea, and the [[List of provinces in Arithia|provinces]] of [[Kynein province|Kynein]] and [[Adegnein province|Adegnein]] (see map). ==Historical significance== Areth settlement first began on Arophania in Calagia. The advanced Neolithic [[Calagian culture]], of which settlements were excavated over most of the region, most notably under the cities of [[Lazea]] and [[Isphea]] themselves. Thanks to the abundance of the plains of Calagia, agriculture flourished, the Areth population grew rapidly, and specialisation was able to take place. Having given birth to the first Areth cities and kingdoms, Calagia has remained the core of Arithia and the centre of Areth power throughout history, by virtue of its superior location on vital trade routes passing through the [[Issol A'i]].

Narusgerya means "Smiths' Street", and is a reference to the history of the area (see below). Originally planned as a new housing estate on what was then the eastern outskirts of Isana, construction was paused when a 1957 housing project stumbled upon what is now the type site of the [[Narusgerya Culture]]. The entire area was subsequently designated a First Class National Historical Site by the Risevani government, and presently part of it houses the [[Narusgerya Culture Museum and Research Centre]]; while there are still residential units in the neighbourhood they are mostly low-rise, and the area serves instead as a commercial centre for the surrounding high-rise districts, as well as a relatively popular tourist attraction. Something Narusgerya is famous for to locals rather than tourists, however, is the so-called Sound Street in the older area near the north exit of the Underground station. Formerly a congregating place for blacksmiths, and then for artisans specialising in small objects such as gears and clockwork, it was cleared out as part of post-war redevelopment plans; the blocks of shophouses are now famous for the abundance of shops selling, repairing, and modifying audio equipment - from mp3 players and amplifiers to radios, surround sound systems, microphones and even loudspeakers. [[category:Neighbourhoods of Isana]] Narusgerya Station 2901 14810 2006-10-24T08:50:16Z Sirica 257 Narusgerya Station is one of the stations in the [[Isana Underground]], serving [[Isana Underground Line 3|Line 3]]. Opened as part of the first phase of Line 3, in 1962 DN, it is presently one of the more well-known stations of the line, both for the [[Narusgerya Culture Museum and Research Centre]] near it, which is a well-known tourist attraction, and for its aboveground garden which is often a hanging-out spot for youth and a convenient centre of the shopping district for the locals. The station has been revamped and modernised several times over its long lifespan, most recently in 2023; during that renovation a glasshouse was erected on one corner of the garden, and now it houses "Outlet", a well-known music bar and often a place amateur musicians aspire to play in.

It is served by [[Parinzas Station]] of [[Isana Underground Line 3]]. Though mostly a quiet residential neighbourhood, it is well known throughout the city for the large 4 storey mall near the station, most of which is taken up by a single large used bookshop that buys old books, stationery and CDs directly from people on one side of the store, and sells them in another part; the remaining top floor is a municipal library. This means it is often frequented by students seeking materials, and in the weekends the neighbourhood is considerably livelier from the presence of these students.

While each college has its own insignia, motto and colours, the overall colours of IA are blue, silver and black, and a stipulation in force since the foundation of the University states that all colleges within the University must have one and only one of these three colours within its [[Agin]]; over time this has led to the creation of separate and informal (but gradually more formal) "Orders" of colleges, according to which colour is mounted on their Agin.

[[category:Cities of Risevne]] Isana 2912 17385 2006-12-12T14:13:25Z Sirica 257 /* Geography and Climate */ '''Isana''' is the capital and largest city of [[Risevne]], and one of its three Designated Cities - cities which are treated as equivalent to [[Subdivisions of Risevne|Provinces]]. It is located in southwestern [[Masalne]], and borders the city of [[Bresnga]] to the north, and [[Feladmena Province]] to the east. The total urban population, living within the city limits, is 13,386,740. Isana forms the centre of the huge conurbation in the south of Risevne, known as Ibretal after the three main cities of Isana, [[Bresnga]] and [[Taluste]], which stretches across the [[Feladmena Plain]]; together the conurbation contains around 38 million people. Accounting for around 1/6 of the Risevani population by itself, the city is both a major global city and the undisputed economic, political and social centre of Risevne. ==Name== The word ''Isana'' simply means "Capital" in Classical Mirselec, the variant of the language spoken during the late first millenium DN; this reflects the fact that, for longer than most other cities, Isana has been a political centre of the Risevani. Besides this, there are many other titles, like ''Shakonoyenori'', literally meaning "Nine-Citadel City", and ''Yoneiganori'', literally "Blue-Gated City", after the five old city gates, three of which are still visible, which were painted blue. ==Geography and Climate== The city of Isana occupies a total area of 1678 square kilometres, in a rough rectangle that occupies most of the [[Gardaus Peninsula]] and surrounding areas. To its north is the municipality of [[Bresnga]], while to its east is [[Feladmena Province]]. Geographically the city is clearly divided into two, by the [[Rushalya river]] and [[Gardaus Bay]]; the east was, and remains, by far the older city, while the west was only made part of the city around the 1830s, just before the beginning of the period known as the [[Ibakizaro]], and has undergone many great changes and upheavals. The only significant elevations are the hills south of the Waranye, including Nortekone or the Swallows' Hill on which the famed [[Garnoye]] stands. Formerly there were at least 8 known rivers which flowed into Gardaus Bay, the largest being the Rushalya; presently most of these rivers are underground, however, the only exception being the [[Waranye river]] which still flows into Gardaus Bay from the east at [[Ekusinada-dego]]. ===Definition of Isana=== Modern day Isana, administratively known as Isana City, is one of the first-level [[subdivisions of Risevne]]. Within this large area of the Gardaus Peninsula the original city, now known as the Old Capital {Kode Sanasir}, occupies the area between the [[Waranye river]] and the Rushalya, southwards to the Bay. The present municipality took its shape following redefinitions of borders in 2033, when two new districts in the northeast were carved out from Feladmena Province. Unlike many other large cities in the world Isana is rarely defined in terms of a "Greater Isana"; in Risevan parlance the more often used term is Ibretal, though it includes a far larger area that stretches all the way to the other side of the Feladmena Plain in [[Taluste]]. Feladmena Province has many towns and urban areas which are often called "Hotel Towns", a reference to the extensive numbers of people commuting to work in the city and return only for the night. ===Subdivisions=== {{main|Areas and Districts of Isana}} While Isana is considered as a single division under the City Government, it is in fact divided into ten Areas, or ''Remis''; each one is then farther subdivided into Districts, or ''Dego''. The areas each possess their own municipal agencies, and most affairs belonging exclusively within their districts are delegated to them, including local infrastructure. Sometimes people go so far as to suggest that Isana is in fact ten cities, rather than one, an impression bolstered by the nomenclature (since the area governments are called Municipal Offices); though the devolution of power is indeed considerable, however, the city is administratively a single unit. ===City Planning=== ''See [[Izanosan Plans]]'' ==History== {{main:History of Isana}} The lower valley of the Rushalya river, and the surrounding plains, have been sites of human inhabitation since time immemorial; in the neighbourhood of [[Narusgerya]] is the type site of a neolithic civilisation known as the [[Narusgerya culture]], but this is just one of several discoveries of ancient cultures within the city; the most recent find was in 2007 in the east of the city. ==Economy== Isana is one of the major financial centres of the world, as well as a centre of commerce and commodity trading. ==Government== ==Transport== ==Education== In keeping with the traditional Risevan attitude of great respect for education, Isana has a highly developed educational system, with many institutions of higher learning including the world famous [[University of Isana]]. Students from all over the country, as well as all over the world, come to Isana to study; this trend has only increased in recent decades with increasing links to developing countries, and has become such that several areas of the city are often known as "Student Towns".

Their existence stretches from the neolithic to the beginnings of the iron age on the islands, around 9,000 to 1,000 BDN; this historical scope is only rivalled by the [[Pelisadas Culture]] on the east of Masalne, though of the two the Narusgerya was undoubtedly the more populated and advanced.

The oldest site of theirs has been dated to around 12,000 BDN, while the latest known site is around 5,500 BDN. Characteristics of the Histari Culture include cave-dwelling and pit burial; some pits were especially elaborate and were topped with mounds. More than 630 such pits have been excavated, and in nearly three quarters of them - especially the later tombs - there are slabs of stone, shaped like gingko leaves. This symbol has since been taken to be a unique characteristic of the Histari Culture until subsequent excavations of [[Narusgerya Culture]] sites revealed the use of such shaped stone pieces as well. This has led to a theory linking the two civilisations. [[category:Prehistoric Cultures of Valmante]] [[category:History of Risevne]] Neiberin Province 2919 15499 2006-11-14T04:31:46Z Sirica 257 /* Towns and Cities */ '''Neiberin Province''' (Mirselec ''Neiberin denai''), also known as Province 20, is a province of [[Risevne]], situated in northwestern [[Masalne]]. It borders [[Lorudac Province]] to the south, [[Hyomeniga Province]] to the east and [[Tineye Province]] to the north. Its capital is [[Bermisaye]]. ==Geography== ==History== The first historical mention of Neiberin Province dates to around 730 DN, when it is said to be part of a kingdom along the western coast of Masalne known as [[Nadogal]]; as a province then Neiberin included not just modern day Neiberin, but also part of the [[Barnisa Hormagos]] which now form the western third of Hyomeniga Province, bordering on the [[Hyomene Plateau]]. Though it was part of that kingdom, it was relatively desolate except for its coast and the fishing settlements thereon. In the age of the Masal Kingdom, from 1027 onwards, Neiberin province was called [[Elsange]], while its borders were redrawn such that it became a purely coastal province, much more like its present borders. With the founding of the kingdom and the increase in trade between the north and the south, Neiberin profited and grew as a conduit for goods from north and south, providing way-stations on the coastal roads. In 1091 the town of Bermisaye was officially founded, though Elsange's capital for the era remained in the town of [[Nosad]]. ==Economy and Demography== The location of the province on the west coast of Masalne, facing the long continental shelf of the Risevan Home Islands, makes it an important area for the fishing industry, while its many small streams and rivers and the quality of the water therein has long been noted in the past. Because of this some of the most famous traditional products of Neiberin have been processed foods: pickles, salted fish, and the many kinds of noodles to which hard water imparts improved texture. Even now there are many food firms in Neiberin, as well as many high-tech chemical or biological companies, similarly attracted to the natural quality of the area. These industries have replaced some of the older, more polluting extractive works; whereas stone such as granite was once quarried in the area, the industry has long since diminished. The quarries themselves have sometimes been taken over by interesting new tenants; the biomedical research branches of several large firms have recently relocated to the new [[Neiberin Biomedical Research Complex]], completed in 2034, which is built inside one of the largest old quarries and is mostly below ground level. ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Bermisaye]] *[[Nidarsa]] *[[Alvesod]] *[[Nosad]] *[[Holbari]] ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Varant river 2920 15105 2006-11-04T15:48:41Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Varant river''' ({{IPA|[və'ɹɑ:nt]}}, [[Arithide language|Arithide]] {{IPA|[va'rant]}}) is a river in the [[Eastern Seaboard]] of [[Arophania]], originating in the slopes of the southern [[Hallaryagi]] and flowing west to east, around the southern reach of the [[Alerryagi]] and emptying into the [[Auzirean Sea]] in an estuarine delta. ==Etymology== The Varant is a [[Synerian language|Synerian]] name (the language is usually considered one of the [[Arithide language|Arithide]] dialects), deriving from ''vare'', a hydronym descending ultimately from the [[proto-Arophanic]] root ''*uora'', meaning "river", and ''ante'', the [[Classical Arithide]] word for "water". It is often simply called the ''Vare''. Other rivers whose names share the same root include the [[Or river|Or]], [[Yos river|Yos]], [[Jedi river|Jedi]] and [[Ous river|Ous]].

It has a population of 294,791. ==Geography== Bermisaye lies along the last segment of the [[Bermisig river|Bermisig River]] (''Bermisig ainos'', but also ''Bermisek asaye'' in the local dialect), the portmanteau of whose name is the name of the city. It is famous throughout the country for its dramatic setting; it is set on a sloping plain following the course of the river towards the coast, while being surrounded on three sides by steep ridges and mountains which afford stunning night views of the city. Because the plain is about 25 km east-west along the river, but only 6 km wide, the city also follows this shape. The river flowing through the city is mostly too shallow to be navigated by large craft, but along certain sections which are demarcated sports kayaking and canoeing are allowed. Every year several high schools and universities hold races along the Bermisig, including the famous [[Tri-Province Race]] where [[Lorudac]], [[Neiberin]] and [[Hyomeniga]] provinces each provide two of their top high school teams for a six-way race down a 4.6 km stretch of the river. Within the city the coastal areas where the river flows into the sea is mainly commercial in nature, while the residential areas are distributed inland. In terms of architecture the city is mostly low-rise, rarely exceeding seven storeys even in the commercial regions. ==History== ==Economy== ==Society and Culture== ==Famous People== *[[Tenya Asolin]] (Born 12 September 2013 DN), vocalist of the famous band [[Icha and the Northeasterners]].

Tenya agreed to join them, and the group - known at first as the Karabanani or the northwesterners - eventually came in second.

[[category:Isana]] Theph river 2924 15714 2006-11-17T15:50:35Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Theph river''' {{IPA|[θɛf]}} ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Taphae''''' {{IPA|[ta'fai]}}) is one of the most important rivers of [[Arophania]], with three of the largest [[Arithia|Arithide]] cities sited along its course: the old royal capital of [[Isphea]] on its delta, the historic and vibrant capital of [[Lazea]] at its confluence with the [[Nes river]], and the southern economic centre of [[Aebea]] along its mid-course. As the [[Taphae-Nes river system]] it has the largest drainage basin and discharge volume on Arophania, and makes up one of the three [[Great Rivers of Arithia]]. The English name is from the [[Dethric language|Dethric]] corruption. ==Course== The Theph starts in the slopes of the south-central [[Alerryagi]], flowing first east then turning northwards on the [[Nimaean plain]] towards the [[Ordaryagi]], then flowing once again eastwards along it, before merging with the [[Nes river]] at and exiting to the north through the [[Calagian Pass]] as the [[Taphae-Nes river system|Taphae-Nes]], emptying into the [[Chisthian Sea]] in a triangular delta. ==Importance== ===Agriculture & fishery=== The Theph has been an important source of food fish for the [[Areth]], and remains so today. More than 30 species of edible freshwater fish are known to live along its course, including the famous [[Besrian catfish|Besrian]]. In recent times, however, concerns over water pollution midcourse as well as overfishing of certain species has put a damper on fishing, though in more rural areas recreational angling is still a common pastime. {{seealso|Fishes of the Theph river}} Besides fishing, the Theph plays a key role in the agriculture of the region, thanks to its origin in the [[Alerryagi]], which erodes and dissolves from the mountain slopes many minerals that enrich the land downstream through which the river passes. Farms on the [[Nimaean plain]] depend heavily on the river (and, to a lesser extent, on the [[Nes river|Nes]]) for irrigation as well. ===Industry, commerce & transport=== As the continent's largest navigable river and the site of [[Arithia]]'s three largest cities, the Theph is a natural conduit for trade and transport. In the early days of Areth expansion, the river was the first, most convenient, and most common way to access the [[Arophania]]n interior. Even today, fully half of the Arithide internal trade is carried on the waters of the Theph, ranging from industrial inputs like oil and cotton from [[Audoria]], to manufactures like automotive vehicles or even farm produce. Hovercraft commuter links have been established along the river's lower course in recent years, replacing the old passenger boats, ships and ferries that used to ply the waters. The three cities of [[Isphea]], [[Lazea]] and [[Aebea]] also all draw their water supply from the river, its tributaries and its throughflow. ==Pollution== Due to its large discharge, the Theph has been able to sustain a degree of relative cleanliness and purity of its waters despite the heavy agriculture that has been going on in its basin for thousands of years. In the [[Ilethes in the Industrial Age|Industrial Age]], however, as the nation rapidly industrialised around its cities (most of which, not coincidentally, are located on the river), the Theph became increasingly polluted due to chemicals and other toxic effluent from factories, and synthesised fertilisers from agriculture, which are much harder to break down or flush out. When improvements in technology in the [[Ilethes in the Modern Age|modern era]] allowed ever more aggressively intensive cultivation of the land, especially pastoral farming, the condition of the Theph's waters rapidly deteriorated, especially as industry began to use more chemicals in manufactures, without ascertaining the environmental impact thereof. In 1934 [[CIE]], water quality became so abysmal that at [[Regea]], an industrial town, the river turned a noticeably dark shade of brown, giving off a stench that came from the burgeoning bacterial population in the waters and that carried all the way downstream to [[Lazea]]. Eutrophication had caused large numbers of fish and other aquatic life to perish, and the decomposing matter did not poison only the air: in the sixth month of that year, large-scale water poisoning in many cities occurred, and economic activity almost ground to a halt as water supplies were cut, investigations were made (which eventually concluded perfunctorily), and alternative water sources were found. The Theph was cleaned up in a large-scale civil engineering operation from 1935-1938 [[CIE]], and environmental laws and regulations were drastically tightened, polluting industries and firms shuttered or forced to overhaul their operations, and farms likewise barred from using toxic fertiliser and forced to treat heavily chemical-laden sewage, among others in a series of stringent measures to protect the river. The damage had been done, however; marine species in the river fell from an estimated 3,600 before industrialisation to less than 600, and is still recovering: at last count, in 2001 [[CIE]], scientists listed just 1,400 species.

"Book-Storeroom") is the Mirselec word for a library; more specifically, it refers to the neighbourhood in Precinct 2 on the [[Radungai District]] which is centred around several libraries. It is normally taken to include the so-called Library Square - a city block comprising the [[Risevani National Central Library]], the [[University of Isana Library for Arts and Social Sciences]], the [[Risevani National Archives]] and several other buildings - as well as the adjacent streets and the nearby [[Izuriwa Park]]. The area is served by [[Izuriwa Station]] on the [[Kalana Line]], which exits near the park, as well as [[Madrenase Station]] on the [[East Bay Line]] which is nearer the cafes. ==History== The Library Square originally comprised just the Central Library and the National Archives, both of which have been housed there on royal-granted land since the 1840s. In 1949, after the [[Fourth Global War]], the University Social Sciences Library was also moved to that site, and before long the area became famous for its libraries and the large groups of university students and other people who gathered there to study and read. In the 1980s and again in the 2010s, as part of drives to promote reading habits, new buildings were added to the same block; the Central Library was expanded to include many films and multimedia resources as well, and during the latest upgrade the New Arts and Social Sciences Library building was built, with 5 storeys devoted to resources on arts and social sciences, as well as performance, seminar and lecture theatres. New libraries include the Film Library and the Military Library. ==Present-Day== Furinalmi stands in contrast to many of the other areas in the East Bay financial district as a student-filled, generally intellectual place. The rows of shophouses which flank Library Square are home to many famous cafes and small restaurants, often with discounts for students; many come to the cafes to play music, engage in debate, or just relax before and after studying. Izuriwa Park, which lies between Library Square and [[Sansertha College, University of Isana]], is another favourite gathering area and often hosts student fairs from Sansertha and other nearby colleges; ever since 2004 annual concerts have been held in the central field of the park, organised by the university and with the aim of raising funds for needy students, and the event has also become a part of Isanani cultural life.

In 1587 [[Ulinai Sansertha]], a noted scholar and official in the royal court, began a private initiative to expand the University of Isana; his goal was to found a new college for research in the social sciences and public administration. After 5 years of such efforts the plan was put forth to the royal court, and [[Arnen II of Risevne|King Arnen II]] officially granted the royal decree for the college two years later in 1589. While Sansertha was founded with a specific range of courses in mind, the founding of the [[University of Isana Institute for Political and Social Sciences]] in 1926 has superseded it as a specialist college; long before that, in the mid 19th century DN, Sansertha had already begun expanding into other courses. Now it is considered one of the "comprehensive" colleges, though the number of social science students still take up around 70% of the school population. The original campus of the school is in modern day [[Waranyebara remis]], within the boundaries of the old city and near the [[Ayareine|Goose Gate]]; in 1833 [[Kanir Elidae]] donated the land for the present site of the college, near [[Furinalmi]] in [[Awenhine remis]], and in 1838 the college was moved into its new home - only to suffer a fire four years later, which burned down a side building but did not cause any casualties. ==Location== The campus of Sansertha College, where it has been sited since 1584, is in present-day [[Isana]] Precinct 6; it is just adjacent to the famous [[Furinalmi|Library Square]], and its own library is only a short walk from the area. Most of the buildings on the campus date from around the 17th century, though there are several new buildings (known as the Second West Quad) built in modern style but similarly surrounding a central courtyard. The campus is served by several bus lines, and is a ten minute walk from [[Sansertha Station]] on the [[Isana Underground]] Line 5. ==Rankings, Culture and Achievements== The colours of Sansertha College are blue and white, which places it within the [[Blue Sect]] of the University. ==Famous Alumni== [[category:Colleges of the University of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] [[category:Universities of Risevne]] Blue Sect 2933 14873 2006-10-25T08:50:29Z Sirica 257 #REDIRECT [[Sects (University of Isana)]] Sects (University of Isana) 2934 14876 2006-10-25T14:10:10Z Sirica 257 The comprehensive colleges of the [[University of Isana]] tend to be grouped unofficially into one of three groups known as ''Sects'', or ''Shirba'' in Mirselec. There are three such sects, Blue, Silver and Black. The division arose from the very founding of the university, under a stipulation in the royal edict for the university's colleges that all future colleges' individual colours must include one, and only one, of those three colours. The reason for the law was to allow easy identification of any college as belonging to the university and the nation, since the three same colours were those of IA and of the royal house as well.

Arnen IV's rule was by far one of the most eventful of any Risevani monarch since the Restoration. During his reign Risevne entered the [[Fourth Global War]], during which it would lose nearly 3 million dead out of a population of 58 million; throughout the course of this war the King was famous as a symbol of national resistance, especially by his refusal to move out of [[Rasami Palace]] even after he was wounded by shrapnel when the palace was bombed. After the war he became an outspoken advocate of international cooperation to enforce peace, and helped turn public opinion in favour of Risevne's participation in the [[International League]]. In 1954 he set up the [[Risevne Royal Peace Award]], and in 1956 the League awarded him the [[International Achievement Prize for Peace]]. ==Childhood and Youth== ==Marriage and Family== ==Accession== ==War Years== War broke out just two years into the King's rule, in June 1940, and though he had spoken out in concern over the peace of the country since even before his reign he would prove to be a moving force behind the nation's entry into the war. Immediately after the war broke out he ordered a conference of generals and politicians to discuss joining the war; during this, the [[Conference of Melimaye]], he made clear his pro-war stance: ''"It cannot be the desire of any ruler who loves his country to lead a people into war. But the duty of any human is not to stand by as the world suffers the aggression of its nations who dream of worldwide hegemony. Do we fight as the allies of the downtrodden, or wait until our potential allies have all been put down and fight alone?"'' The conference eventually concluded that while Risevne should join the war it would not be immediately and directly involved; it would only be the [[Golkate Island Incident]] of September 1940 that prompted the [[Afengar]] and Cabinet to approve the declaration of war. Throughout the War, and even as the bombing of Risevan cities began from mid-1941, Arnen refused to leave the city of [[Isana]] which, owing to its prime economic importance to the country, was a central target of enemy bombers. He did, however, order the movement of the entire royal family and most of the employees of the palace, leaving himself with just a handful of workers within the palace. In his later memoirs he would famously describe the wartime palace as "A huge empty room of echos, reverberating all day with the sounds of the struggle above us". In October 1941 several bombers attacked the palace for the first time in the war, and the Afengar immediately requested that the King move out to join his family for safety; the King however refused in a [[Royal letters (Arnen IV)|letter]] which was later read to the public; some quotes from the letter, including the phrase "Here we must remain" (actually "Here ''I'' must remain"), would become wartime slogans. On 17 March 1943, a group of bombers attacked the palace, and a bomb scored a direct hit on the residential halls where Arnen was having dinner; in the explosion several people were injured, including the King who would require five stitches for a gash on his left arm caused by falling debris. According to witnesses his first words upon leaving the hall and seeing his injury was, "So that's what it's like!" again the Afengar requested his departure, and again he refused; instead, the day after he received treatment, he went on a tour of the city to assure his people that he was only slightly injured. He continued to conduct these tours, as well as write open letters exhorting the people which were broadcast on radio. Besides the personal danger that the King placed himself in, the war also affected him in more serious ways. A distant but well-loved nephew of his, [[Miras Kagorsi]], was the captain of the light cruiser [[Risevani Light Cruiser Graunac (1929)|Graunac]], and died when it was torpedoed and sunk in 1946, while another, [[Esinar Nimya]], was an army commander who was killed in 1945. ==Post-War== On October 27 delegates from 146 belligerent nations - 97 victorious, and 49 defeated - gathered on board the [[Risevani Battleship Fusalne (1936)|Fusalne]], sailing in the [[Mirosair Sea]], to sign the [[Fusalne Treaty|treaty]] ending the Fourth Global War; two days later the King delivered [[October 29 Address|one of his most famous addresses]] to the parliament, putting across his view of peace via collective mediation and enforcement. A believer in the ideal of a community of nations, Arnen would prove a powerful tool in the subsequent debate on whether to join the [[International League]]; placing all the political weight he had behind the proponents of such a theory he helped ensure, after a fierce debate between these proponents and politicians wary of new wars, a surprisingly clear victory in the subsequent [[League Membership Referendum|referendum]] on the issue. ==Legacy and Modern Views== ==Others== [[category:Rulers of Risevne]] [[category:Royal Family of Risevne]] [[category:Persons of Valmante]] Esinar Nimya 2936 14898 2006-10-26T05:45:44Z Sirica 257 '''Esinar Bironas Alaime''' (12 March 1910 - 26 April 1943), known as Esinar Nimya (Nimya meaning "Prince" in [[Mirselec]]), was a prince of [[Risevne]] who was killed in the [[Fourth Global War]], during the [[Battle of Sini Baksese]]. He was the second son of [[Arnen IV of Risevne]] and [[Oseya of Risevne]]. ==Childhood== ==Family== ==Military Service== Esinar enlisted in the army in 1926, entering [[Marsad Military College]] and graduating in 1928; he was ranked 3rd in the cohort of 486 students, and specialised in artillery. By 1934 he commanded the artillery corps of a division; and when war broke out he was then given command of the 42nd Division - which at the time comprised merely a reinforced brigade. Over the course of 1940 and early 1941 he was responsible for training and bringing the division to full strength, and in August 1941 he led the division to [[Solmais]]. [[category:Royal Family of Risevne]] [[category:Persons of Valmante]] Risevne Royal Peace Award 2937 14904 2006-10-26T14:48:15Z Sirica 257 The '''Risevne Royal Peace Award''' is an annual award established by [[Arnen IV of Risevne|King Arnen IV]] in 1954 DN. The founding statement of the award, written by the King himself, emphasises that the award is given to "one of any nationality in this world, whose efforts bring about progress on the road to lasting peace". ==Award== The award itself comprises two main parts, a medal and the prize money. The medal is made of pure gold, and thus far there have been a few major redesigns. The present design, which has been awarded since 2003, bears the image of a broken sword and bow on the obverse, and that of the False Camellia, Risevne's national flower, on its reverse. Around these images are words in Mirselec; on the obverse they state "Let " Huttu 2938 14914 2006-10-26T22:50:48Z Tarnawa 196 October 29 Address 2939 32921 2008-06-15T18:14:55Z Christina 18 The '''October 29 Address''' ([[Mirselec]] "Zar-Mur-Gye ta Nartinge", literally "Address of Ten-Two-Nine") is a famous address from [[Arnen IV of Risevne]] to the [[Risevani Assembly]], given just two days after the signing of the [[Fusalne Treaty|official peace]] ending the [[Fourth Global War]]. In it he argues that the peace can lead to two courses, and that the best course to a lasting peace was that of collective action, then implied to be [[Risevne|Risevan]] membership in the [[International League]] (though this term is never mentioned within the speech. ==Background== While the war was only officially ended on October 27, most major fighting had already ceased by late September. On September 20 the [[Third Asela League]] produced the [[Proposal for a League Across Nations]], which on the Risevan side was endorsed by the foreign minister [[Tarsen Krafec]]; within Risevne, however, opinion was severely divided over whether to endorse the league within the Assembly as well as the general public. The King, however, was an ardent supporter of the League; when asked about it in early October he is reputed to have told a secretary that "If a man my age and experience, having lived through three wars now, should think it unnecessary or undesirable, then I am not worthy of everything I have lived through". He therefore took the opportunity of the postwar address to state his views, and arguably his efforts paid off - in the [[1947 Risevan Referendum on the International League]], a surprising 68% of voters came out in favour of Risevan involvement, compared to 45% just two months before. ==Full Text== Speaker, Honoured Members, By now the signing of the Fusalne Treaty is common knowledge around the world; with their signatures a total of 143 states have put an end to the most devastating war in human history, and peace is once again upon our shattered world. Mourning and sorrow accompany the loss of so many lives for their countries, but more uncertain and more pressing are the fortunes of those fortunate enough to survive. We may proclaim aversion to rhetoric, but there is no other way to put this; we stand now on a threshold of history never before arrived at by man. The road to this opportunity has been paved with blood and tears, death and suffering, and now we the living hold in our hands the shape of the world for ages to come. One only has to walk a short distance from the palace or the Assembly hall to see for himself the celebrations all over Isana with the declaration of peace. It is only natural that we should feel exhilaration and jubilation at our victory; anticipation of victory has been part of why we have kept on going, in the darkest and most hopeless days of the conflict. Nonetheless these must be tempered by reason, and by a sober knowledge of what we have truly won. If we are to keep this peace, we must know what it is and what it is not. The peace is, for one, not an invitation for us to return to the past. Often we have convinced ourselves, during the dark days of bombing and austerity, that with victory would come the good old days again; even I sometimes embraced this view, though then as now I oppose it. To view an event of this magnitude as something that will leave us on the same historical course is inconceivable; the old times will never return, and if the old times include the old international system with its rivalries we should be glad to be rid of them. We cannot look back now; for better or worse we are of the generation that must look to the time when we are already gone but our children yet survive, the time that is yet to be. A simple tallying of numbers drives the point home to us. For this is not the first, nor even the second global war; but its cost in lives outweighs the last two wars combined. The same technologies of mechanization and industry, which allow us to enjoy life as never before in peace, also give us the power to take lives as never before in war; now nobody is safe, even if he is distanced by sea, far from the front. When in 1932 the military historian Stevgan Nis said that “the next war shall be one without fronts, for the whole nation will become a front” we took his words for granted – in retrospect we cannot but admit we only saw that obvious part of his prophecy. The true meaning of his words is that under no circumstances can we afford a war like this again. If we can acknowledge that much it becomes clear what must be done, what the past mistakes are that we cannot repeat and what was not conceived then that must be conceived now. For seventy years we have talked about the horrors of war, even when the said horrors were never more than three days’ march from clearly drawn lines on maps. For the same seventy years we have shuffled between war and peace with terrifying frequency. Now this option of swinging back to war is not only morally repugnant; it will be fatal, for nations, for peoples, and for the world at large. And this defines what the treaty on the Fusalne is not; it is no longer a national peace; it is no longer, and cannot be, a way for any one nation or league to assert dominance over another and dictate the treaty that the vanquished quietly signs. Three times, after great wars, we followed that same course of national vengeance and the quest for dominance; three times the supposedly crushed rose from the ashes and fought again. Risevne, which has been both master and victim in the past, surely knows this well. This backhanded compliment to human resilience leaves us two courses. As a nation in competition with other nations a lasting victory would entail crushing opponents over and over, employing ever more advanced technologies until they or us are knocked out of the race for existence. But there is another way, and another lasting victory, for no single nation but rather for all peoples; that is the course of committing ourselves to reconciliation, of dedicating ourselves to the community of nations, and of putting our efforts to the collective enforcement of a peace that will hopefully extend across the world. If there is one good thing that the war has brought us it is solidarity, unity of purpose and a commitment to one’s allies. Without aid from our allies we could not have lasted in this war; thousands of men from other nations died that we could remain clothed, fed, and our fighting will sustained. Equally thousands of Risevani gave their lives in the defence of our allies, for during the war our fate was coterminous with theirs. Now the key is for us to preserve this loyalty to our allies while reconciling ourselves with those who were, until recently, our enemies; for still our fate is coterminous with everybody’s. No longer are we fighting a war against another nation, or another group of nations; we are fighting a war against war, and we fight on behalf of those who will enjoy this world in generations to come. This fight cannot be shirked if we are to deem ourselves humans of reason and duty. The tragedy of a generation that has come through such a calamity as war is that their generation has already been spoken for in history; we as individuals will have little chance to alter the depictions, or to add asides to the overwhelming volumes of images that war conjures. A century, two centuries from now, people will not look upon us as a generation of anything else; we are and forever will be the people of the Fourth Global War; that choice was made before and cannot be changed. The hope for our generation, then, lies in our will to shape the future. We may choose the course that will lead us to be forever recalled as yet another generation that left a fuse for another war, that will claim twice the present toll and cripple half of the countries involved; that is the course of the arena of nations. Or we may choose the course that, in a century, two centuries, will allow people to look back and say of some day in our near future, “from here – from this blessed day on – the world was at peace”. The peace we can make may well be imperfect; but it cannot be ours to not expect a peace, not to do the utmost we could, if there is a chance for it.

It is primarily famous as a gathering place for writers, both historical and modern. [[Mertanis College, University of Isana]] is sited just a five minute walk away, and as it has in its recent history nurtured and housed some prominent writers - most famously [[Erai Raldergye]], who lectured there between 1912 and 1929 - this nearby street, and the bars and restaurants along it, were some of the haunts of these men of letters. During the 1980s and 1990s a group of writers called themselves the [[Niharo Clique]]; besides being a literal statement about their meeting here, the street is also used as a symbol of the whole city of Isana itself. In turn these writers tended to focus on issues regarding the city and the country at large. [[category:Neighbourhoods of Isana]] [[category:Mirselec literature]] Erai Raldergye 2941 16192 2006-11-21T02:37:23Z Christina 18 /* Plays */ '''Erai Raldergye''' (19 November 1879 - 4 January 1934) is a famous [[Risevani]] writer. He wrote mostly short stories and novels, though two plays of his also survive. Over a thirty-year period Raldergye produced some of the most famous works of [[Mirselec literature]], many of which are still read worldwide today. Known for his variety of styles, from the evocative richness of the [[Rushalya Elegies]] to the sparse, terse style of his later novels and short stories, he introduced many foreign literary innovations into his work while at the same time working to promote Mirselec literature worldwide. For this he is often known as one of the "Fathers of modern Mirselec literature", and his works are taught to schoolchildren in Risevne, as part of their compulsory literature course. ==Childhood and Youth== ==Early Career== ==Maturity Years== ==Later Years== ==Works== This is a list of some of his more famous works. ===Novels=== *Gatartun (Hesitation), 1904 *Orisain (Midnight), 1906 *Anive so der (The Elect), 1907 ''[[Rushalya Elegies]] (5 novels for a River):'' *[[Kagorbe tari ta Rushalya]] (Rushalya from the Mountains), 1910 *Nortebusunmi ta Gager (Walks in the Valley Bottom), 1915 *Hinoru ta Dongan (Grandfather's Clock), 1917 *Haiste ta Kirban (The Dawn Watch), 1921 *Wantanor gari ta Rushalya (Rushalya to the Sea), 1924 *Nakemi ta Sostoruc (The Lament of the Sparrows), 1928 *Persander (The Prodigal), 1930 *Varesur (The Fig Tree), 1931 *Farsekarka (Fireworks), 1933 ===Plays=== *Barne Yazor ta Ursan (Children of the North Wind), 1912 *[[Erunmitir]] ([[Erunmitir (play)|Erunmitir]]), 1932 [[category:Famous Persons of Risevne]] [[category:Risevani poets and writers]] [[category:Mirselec literature]] Kagorbe tari ta Rushalya 2942 16239 2006-11-21T03:03:25Z Christina 18 '''Kagorbe tari ta Rushalya''' (Rushalya from the Mountains) is a novel by [[Erai Raldergye]], and the first of his series of five novels known as the [[Rushalya Elegies]]. Of the five it is probably the most well-known and most commonly read, and even today it is part of the high school literature course; it has also been translated into more than 100 languages worldwide. The first line of the novel is one of the most famous lines in modern Risevan literature, and most [[Risevani]] can quote it: "Following the stream up the mountains one reaches the harsh midslopes; the spring that is the river's mother could hardly be seen amongst the rock and snow. Of all facts this must be the most inconceivable." The novel itself, meanwhile, deals with the first generation of the two families of Anesker and Masera, from around 1816 to around 1840 - the years immediately before and after the [[1827 Restoration]].

The [[naval history of Risevne]] can be traced back to the [[Mirselani]] raids of the first and second centuries DN; the modern Royal Navy of Risevne, however, dates back to the [[First Constitution]] when the two arms of the military were first placed under the control of the monarch and constitution as standing forces. Given Risevne's nature as an island nation the Navy became the senior arm, and even now it is known as the Senior Service (Kresaime Anaos). The navy played a hugely important role in all four of the [[Global Wars (Valmante)|Global Wars]] in which Risevne participated, and over the course of these wars it grew into one of the premier navies in the world. This trend continued through the 20th century, and even as the [[Risevan Royal Army]] gradually shrank in size the growth of the navy continued. By the 2010s it was the largest navy in the world, as well as one of the most advanced, and is a full-fledged blue-water force. ==History== ===Ancient Roots (1st century - 9th century)=== ===Reform and Growth (10th century)=== ===Decline and Revival (late 10th century - early 15th century)=== ===The Standing Force (15th century - 17th century)=== ===Age of Expeditions (17th century - 19th century)=== ===The Global Wars (19th century - mid 20th century)=== ===After the Wars=== ==The Navy Today== The modern RKN is rightly viewed as one of the most powerful navies in the world, and one of the four or five which can maintain a global projection of power especially with its carrier groups. ===Roles=== The stated role of the RKN is to protect the interests of Risevani at home and around the world, as well as to carry out the policies of the Monarch and the Government of Risevne. As Risevne is an island nation, the navy naturally forms an integral portion of home defence; but it also has a network of bases around the world from which it operates. Though the RKN is not a member of any international military alliance since the disbanding of the [[Third Asela League]] in 1948 and its withdrawal from the [[Eighteen-Power Coalition]] in 1950, its forces nonetheless take part in many international exercises as observers and active participants. The navy also makes major contributions to peacekeeping forces, both of regional alliances and of the [[International League]]. ===Assets=== {{main|List of Ships of the Risevan Royal Navy}} The RKN is outfitted for a great spectrum of tasks, beyond that of most other navies and befitting its blue-water orientation. The core of their long-range power projection ability lies in the six [[Rushalya class aircraft carriers]], accompanied by escorting destroyers and submarines which are themselves a powerful force in combat. ==The Navy and Risevan Culture== ==Famous Ships== ==Famous Navy Personnel== [[category:Armed Forces of Risevne]] [[category:Navies of Valmante]] Template:New talk 2945 14948 2006-10-29T13:27:38Z Melroch 31 <div class="usermessage plainlinks"><center>''' [http://wiki.frath.net/index.php?title=User_talk:{{PAGENAMEE}}&action=edit&section=new <font color="black">Click here to leave a message on my User talk page!</font>]'''</center></div> <noinclude> Put this template on your User page to help/encourage visitors to leave <br>a message on your User talk page<br><br>Since the magic word <nowiki>{{TALKPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki> doesn't work in the version of <br>Mediawiki that this wiki uses [[User:Melroch|I]] had to use an ugly <br>workaround to have it work as intended.<br>I think this can be painlessly changed once the software is updated.<br><br>(This note will not be visible when the template is included on a page!) </noinclude> List of Ships of the Risevan Royal Navy 2946 15281 2006-11-08T14:39:53Z Sirica 257 /* Type 9 Destroyers (Varunim Class) */ This page is a list of the ships in the [[Risevan Royal Navy]], or RKN, currently in commission. It also illustrates the naming tradition of ships in the Navy. ==Aircraft Carriers== The longstanding tradition with regards to aircraft carriers has been to name them after mountains, while battleships were named after rivers. The first aircraft carrier to serve in the RKN was [[KV Kaona (1917)|KV Kaona]], launched in 1915 and completed 1917. With the advent of nuclear carriers as well as the gradual demise of battleships as a potent force on the seas, the river titles of the latter gradually were used for the former, in a sense affirming the nuclear carrier succeeding the battleship as queen of the seas. Presently, after the decommissioning of the last of the conventional carriers in 2038, the RKN has completed its transition to an all-nuclear carrier force with six Rushalya class nuclear carriers. These carriers, presently in the middle of their service life, will remain the mainstay of the navy for a long time as there are no plans to replace them by the government. ===Nuclear Carriers=== ''[[Rushalya Class]]'': *[[Risevan Aircraft Carrier Rushalya (2006)|KV Rushalya]], flagship of the Fleet *[[Risevan Aircraft Carrier Anesa (2008)|KV Anesa]] *[[Risevan Aircraft Carrier Kezarte (2011)|KV Kezarte]] *[[Risevan Aircraft Carrier Irtausa (2013)|KV Irtausa]] *[[Risevan Aircraft Carrier Ainzera (2015)|KV Ainzera]] *[[Risevan Aircraft Carrier Imon (2018)|KV Imon]] ==Destroyers== The destroyers of the Risevan Navy are named on a variety of themes, including weather and climatic phenomena, as well as ancient provinces of Risevne and the names of mountains. ===Type 9 Destroyers (Varunim Class)=== The [[Varunim class destroyer|Varunim class]] is named after old provinces and subdivisions of Risevne; there are presently 26 ships in commission, making it the mainstay of the surface escort forces. Armed with a wide array of weapons including the [[Sorvane command system]], these ships are some of the most capable surface combat units in the world. *[[KV Varunim]] *[[KV Bosa]] *[[KV Atrasne]] *[[KV Obidir]] *[[KV Anstai]] ===Type 12 Destroyers (Vasoseye Class)=== The [[Vasoseye class destroyer|Vasoseye class]] is named after weather phenomena; Vasoseye is the Mirselec word for a hurricane or typhoon. A newer and more advanced version of the Type 9, with a lengthened hull and distinctively raised forecastle, there are presently 14 such ships in service, and there are plans to refurbish and overhaul the Varunim class to Vasoseye class standards. *[[KV Vasoseye]] *[[KV Saburseye]] *[[KV Ichatesabu]] *[[KV Shoebume]] ==Frigates== The frigates of the RKN are mostly named after the outlying islands of the country. ==Landing Command Carriers== The RKN has a force of three large landing carriers as the core of its marine fighting capability; the ships are under the control of the Risevan Royal Marines, which form a command under the Navy. The three carriers are named after mountains, taking over the designation for battleships in the past. ===Kaona Class=== The [[Kaona Class Landing Carrier|Kaona Class]] is a formidable ship capable of landing, supporting, and supplying troops on extended operations. Each ship is capable of landing a 1,600 man Royal Marine Battalion and all its equipment, as well as keeping it supplied by air and providing powerful fire support with its squadron of helicopters and attack aircraft. *[[KV Kaona]] *[[KV Hegamari]] *[[KV Nogorin]] [[category:Armed Forces of Risevne]] Hlotderb 2947 43251 2009-02-19T01:18:17Z Humancadaver101 212 /* Phonology */ Hlotderb (/ɬoʈ.ɛʁb/) is the language spoken through out the base of the western mountain range of [[Lheinead]].

The first three are distiguished by prefixes (or in the case of the active voice, the lack of a prefix), whereas the reflexive voice is simply active voice with a corresponding reflexive pronoun as the object. A few examples: Dhlap ssônirh jaadz Herding -produce.PRES wool Herding produces wool an active sentence, Jaadz ossônirh dhlap Wool PASS.produce.PRES herding Wool is produced by herding a passive sentence, Hlotde aassônirh jaadz Hlotde LOC.produce.PRES wool At Hlotde wool is produced a locative sentence, Ghro ssônirh kehsz I produce myself I made myself a reflexive sentence. In slang or more colloquial speech, however, the locative voice has been re-analyzed as a genitive constructive. For example, Côsz aadazirh jaadz It.NAT underwent the shaving of wool It was shaved of (its) wool ==Syntax and Morphology== Hloterb is SVO, resulting in the abandonment of case endings, except for the locative case -aa, which survived attached to the verb as a voice ending. Direct objects proceed indirect objects. The locative and genitive cases are now formed from prepositions, which vary depending on dialect, case, and gender. Hloterb distinguishes three genders: natural, cultural, and animate. The last is reserved for humans and beloved pets. The first includes general household items (with a few exceptions), living organisms (not scanned as animate), and natural formations (mountains, deserts, etc.). The cultural gender is used in relation to all remaining nouns, commonly less ordinary produced items (Cotton, the final product, for instance) Adjectives decline for the gender but fairly straightforwardly. Verbal adverbs also agree with the voice of the verb. It has been suggested that this reduces confusion in multiple verb predicates. Adverbial Adverbs and Adjective Adverbs agree with the modifier that they modify. Verbs are conjugated for voice and tense, but no other issue. Mood and aspect are often worked into a sentence through various adverbs. Person and number are determined from context or the nominative pronoun. In this respect, Hloterb is highly isolating. ==Lexicon== [[Hloterb Lexicon]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Belegras Dockyards 2948 16980 2006-12-03T11:03:28Z Sirica 257 '''Belegras Dockyards''' (Mirselec ''Belegras Hadunen'') is a part of [[Isana]] that comprises the western half of the [[Port of Isana]], until the early 21st century. Formerly part of the busiest port in the world, the Dockyards gradually diminished in importance as shipping was routed more to the better-equipped and newer [[Port of Bresnga]] during the 1990s. In 2007 a plan was launched to convert the Dockyards, which comprises around two-thirds of the entire port, to a commercial and leisure district, involving several major programmes like the greening of the entire area, the construction of an [[East Bay Line, Belegras Extension|extension underground line]] serving the area, as well as the conversion or rebuilding of many original facilities. ==History== ===As Harbour=== ===The Move=== Over the 1980s and 1990s, the port of Bresnga continued to grow and Isana went on with its transition to a mostly service-based economy, plans began to be proposed to convert the Dockyards. ==Belegras Dockyards Today== ===Site and Situation=== Though it is the most prominent, Belegras Dockyards is not the only major developmental project to take place on land vacated by the moving of the port; along stretches of the coast, as well as farther inland, many residential areas have sprung up as well, and property values for residential space in this new district has been rising steadily after an initial sluggish period while the infrastructure was being completed. Now the area is one of the youngest residential districts of the city, and even the design of many of the estates - revolving around relatively small condominia catering for singles, or young couples - reflect this trend. In modern Isana parlance "Belegras Dockyards" refers to the western two-thirds of the former port, adjoining [[Henoris Wharf]], which has been rebuilt into a commercial district; the real [[Port of Isana]], on the other hand, is simply known as the Port. The main passenger terminus and jetties, meanwhile, have been relocated to within [[Gardaus Bay]] in a brand new building that was completed in 2012. Throughout the 2010s the area was known as "the city's largest construction site", and even now in the 2040s much major construction and development is still going on in the area, making it one of the most vibrantly developing areas of the city. Even while the development of the area is going on speedily, however, efforts are constantly being made to ensure continuity with tradition, as well as the desirability of the environment. In the conversion of the dockyards most of its large docks were kept intact, as were many canals formerly used for transportation between docks in the past. Road and foot bridges, many of innovative design, connect these islands; but there is also a system of small boats which ply the canals, mostly carrying tourists. At the same time major landscaping has turned the dockyards, formerly mostly asphalt and concrete, into a much greener area. ===Administration=== Belegras Dockyards in fact straddles two districts, or dego, of [[Hirsa remis]], namely [[Belegrasharel-dego]] and [[Nirateharel-dego]]. ==Major Constructions== ===Warehouse Malls=== ===Concert Halls=== *[[28 Kasinoda Wharf]], one of the most spectacular buildings in the area, converted from several large warehouses (formerly 26 - 31 Kasinoda, with 28 being the central building). *[[Sidefona]] - literally "Little Chambers" a complex with six small black box theatres, converted from 38 Neti Wharf., ===Other Buildings=== [[category:Neighbourhoods of Isana]] Hloterb Lexicon 2949 24590 2007-08-18T23:59:00Z Humancadaver101 212 This a lexicon of all terms in the language [[Hlotderb]]. ==a== AELHEI = ''adv'' repeatedly, (archaic) yearly ==b== BIJ = ''prn'' 1P, plural, inclusive, nominative BIM = ''prn'' 1P, plural, exclusive, nominative ==c== COSS = ''prn'' 3P, singular, cultural gender, nominative CÔSZ = ''prn'' 3P, singular, natural gender, nominative CÔTD = ''prn'' 3P, plural, natural or cultural, nominative CUÝ = ''prn'' 3P, singular, animate, nominative ==d== DAZ = ''v'' to shave, to shear, to cut away DHLAP = ''n'' herding DHLAPI = ''adj'' pertaining to herding DHLAAP = ''v'' to herd, to raise ==dh/d'== ==dj== DJA = ''prn'' 2P, singular, nominative ==dt== DTDHNLÔMLHST = ''n'' irrigation ditch ==dz== DZEJ = ''n'' failure (person, action, anything...) ==e== ==eh/e'== ==f== ==g== ==gh/g'== GHNGEHYMBATH = ''n'' cedar tree leaves (used as an incense) GHRADZ = ''n'' oil, hydrocarbons, fuel GHRADZ KRIDZ = ''n'' coal GHRADZ TDLISZ = ''n'' natural gas GHRO = ''prn'' 1P, singular, nominative ==i== ==j== JAADZ = ''n'' wool JDJALZSMI = ''n'' weaving tools; shuttle, loom, wheel, etc JDJAON = ''n'' loom ==k== KAKHIMARRHA = ''n'' polyester or other synthetic material cloth, synthetic clothing KÔTIN = ''n'' cotton KÔTINDZAAHL = ''n'' cotton plantation KÔJYC = ''n'' copper ==kh/k'== KHOB = ''n'' loom ==l== ==hl== HLOZULTD = ''n'' lapis lazuli ==m== MINTTEA = foreigner, stranger MOÔM = ''v'' to stare, to intimidate MÔLDI = ''n'' hawk ==n== ==ng== NGAASS = ''n'' muzzle ==o== ==ô== ==p== PT'HLNI = ''n'' nitrate(s) PUP = ''n'' city-dweller PUSSCÔDZ = ''n'' mountains ==r== ==rh/r'== ==s== ==ss== SSE = ''prn'' 2P, plural, nominative SSCHLEB = ''n'' floodplain SSHLÔDZT = ''n'' river SSÔN = ''v'' to make, to produce ==sz== SZFANRADT = ''n'' small level area, mesa ==t== TEA = ''n'' riverbank, streambank TCOM = ''prn'' 3P, plural, animate, nominative TSSAAV = ''n'' pole, stick, rod ==th/t'== THE = ''adj'' evil ==td== ==u== UTH = ''interj'' yeah, yes, verily ==v== VRHIJ = ''n'' desert, barrens ==y== ==ÿ== ==z== ZNEDT = ''adj'' shiny ==zs== Elimyen 2950 15127 2006-11-04T20:20:42Z Napalmbrain 183 Elimyen is an agglutinative conlang. ==Phonology== Elimyen is written using an abugida script (an abugida is a script where each character represents a consonant and vowel together). There are characters for each consonant-vowel pair (and lone vowel) below, except for 'du', 'tu' and 'yi', which do not appear in the language. There is also some overlap between s/z and dh/th, which are considered individual phonemes. The absence of a vowel following a consonant is indicated explicitly. ===Consonants=== {| border="1" !

Unlike English, Elimyen uses Time Manner Place to order adpositional phrases. For example, instead of saying "I went to the shop yesterday", it would be "I went yesterday to the shop". Normally, the second syllable of a word is stressed. ===Declension=== Elimyen has 6 cases: * Nominative- Not marked * Accusative- Marked by "-mol" * Dative- Marked by "-dash" * Genitive- Marked by "-yen" * Locative- Marked by "-von" * Ablative- Marked by "-nim" ===Plurals=== Plurals are suffixed by "-yez". It is also used as a sign of respect to the person being spoken to. ===Verbs=== Verbs are inflected to distinguish between transitive, ditransitive, and intransitive verbs: * Transitive- Not marked * Ditransitive- Marked by "se-" * Intransitive- Marked by "go-" ===Grammatical person=== * First person singular- "ben" * First person plural- "bizi" * Second person singular- "sen" * Second person plural/formal- "zizi" * Third person (singular and plural)- "on" There are no grammatical genders. ===Negatives=== To negate a noun or adjective, the word "deye" is added to the end of the sentence. Verbs are negated by adding the prefix "me-".

Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its Communist international organization intends to do in the immediate future, or what are the limits, if any, to their expansive and proselytizing tendencies. I have a strong admiration and regard for the valiant Russian people and for my wartime comrade, Marshal Stalin. There is deep sympathy and goodwill in Britain - and I doubt not here also - towards the peoples of all the Russias and a resolve to persevere through many differences and rebuffs in establishing lasting friendships. We understand the Russian need to be secure on her western frontiers by the removal of all possibility of German aggression. We welcome Russia to her rightful place among the leading nations of the world. We welcome her flag upon the seas. Above all, we welcome constant, frequent and growing contacts between the Russian people and our own people on both sides of the Atlantic.

The really awkward issue for the leaders of the seven rich democracies gathering in St Petersburg concerns their host: how to live with a strong, but increasingly undemocratic, Russia. Since Vladimir Putin became president in 2000, Russia has in many ways been a remarkable success. Thanks largely to high oil prices, its economy has grown by an average of 6.5% a year. Living standards have improved and a sizeable middle class has emerged. The stockmarket has boomed. Russia is running a huge current-account surplus, it is paying off the last of its debt and the rouble has just been made fully convertible. At the summit Russia also hopes to surmount the last hurdles to its joining the World Trade Organisation. Russians are grateful for these things. They like the stability that Mr Putin has brought in place of the chaos under his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin. They welcome their country's bounceback from the dark days of August 1998, when it defaulted and devalued. They are proud that, as the summit demonstrates, Russia once more counts for something in the world. No wonder Mr Putin has a popularity rating in the 70% range—an achievement that none of his guests can match. Yet as well as these steps forward Russia has taken steps backwards (see article). In Mr Putin's early years optimists hoped that stability and prosperity would not come at the expense of liberty and democracy. Western leaders gave him the benefit of their doubts over such matters as the war in Chechnya or curbs on the media. But it has become ever clearer that Russia is moving in the wrong direction. Greater state control of the economy, especially in the energy industry, has bred corruption and inefficiency. Any serious political opposition has been crushed. The broadcast media have been shut down or taken over by the government and its allies. Regional governors have been squashed—one of the last elected governors was arrested recently—and parliament has been emasculated, continuing the Kremlin's drive not merely to centralise, but to monopolise, political power. There is much debate over when Mr Putin started to go wrong. Many date it to the attack on Yukos, Mikhail Khodorkovsky's oil firm, that began three years ago this month; others say the clampdown started after the Beslan school siege in September 2004; still others point to the “orange revolution” in Ukraine at the end of 2004, when Russia's choice for president, Viktor Yanukovich, lost to the pro-Western Viktor Yushchenko. In an irony of timing, only days before the summit, the Chechen terrorist who was responsible for Beslan, Shamil Basayev, was killed; and Mr Yanukovich re-emerged as a possible prime mini-ster of Ukraine. Yet the truth is that there was no particular moment when Mr Putin “started to go wrong”. Even Kremlin insiders admit that he was determined from the outset to control the television channels and to stamp out political opposition. They concede that Mr Khodorkovsky is in prison for political reasons. Such things reflect Mr Putin's background as a KGB officer. To him, restoring order, staying in charge and reviving Russia's influence are what matter—not wishy-washy worries over democracy and human rights. So what can the West do? The short answer is, not a lot. In the 1990s an economically enfeebled Russia needed help from abroad. Unless the oil price unexpectedly collapses, no such leverage will be available in the near future. Politically, too, pressure from outside is likely to rebound. With the Kremlin once again firmly in control, Russia will almost certainly change only from within—or not at all. This is not to say that the West has no influence. Mr Putin, like other Russian leaders before him, is sensitive to outside criticism. The Kremlin was this week in high dudgeon because senior Western officials attended a conference in Moscow organised by some of Mr Putin's few remaining opponents. The Russians are also neurotically keen to curtail the activities of non-governmental organisations. Here lie some clues to what Western leaders should and should not do about Russia. They should speak out against Mr Putin's moves away from democracy, against his policy in Chechnya, or against Russian use of energy to bully its neighbours (many west European countries have been too timid in their criticism). They should continue to help NGOs and others who are trying to establish a civil society that may, one day, provide an alternative to the dead weight of the Kremlin. As the next presidential election of March 2008 nears, they should insist that any move to amend the constitution so that Mr Putin can run again is unacceptable—and would result in Russia's expulsion from the G8. They should do what they can to press for free and fair elections, even if the Kremlin's chosen candidate seems sure to win. There are things they should not do, as well. Russia's membership of the G8 may be an embarrassment, since it is supposedly a club of democracies. But to throw it out now would only push Russia farther out of the West's orbit, and risk making it even less help-ful over such issues as curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions. Equally, Americans and Europeans are right to assist countries in Russia's near-abroad that want to escape its baleful influence. But to push for Ukraine or Georgia, say, to join NATO before they are ready would serve no good purpose. Above all, Western leaders should avoid giving the impression that what they really object to is not an illiberal and undemocratic Russia but a strong and rich one—a paranoia that even Russia's few remaining liberals all too often share. Sixty years ago a wise American diplomat, George Kennan, proposed that the right policy of the West towards an expansionary Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin should be “containment”. Russia today is clearly no such threat. But it still matters, and the West should care about where it is going. The best policy now is no longer containment but “wary engagement”. | width="33%" valign="top" | Ok seirinyns G8 ōdonroutos um hortryns pessina, deumi aedrēs nam eremaros i rilakota esteilim agnesis eg abyssu.

It is one of the most important and culturally significant rivers of [[Risevne]]; often known as the Great River or ''Matainos'', it was a central part of the nation's agricultural economy and figures heavily in literature and art. ==Geography== ==Human History== ==Economic Importance== ===Agriculture and Fishery=== Flowing through some of the most fertile land in all of Masalne, the Rushalya's historical title of ''Matainos'' came partly from its importance to the economy of the area. The Rushalya's drainage basin includes nearly three quarters of the [[Feladmena Plain]], from the south of [[Feladmena Province]] north to [[Horeston Province]]; and as a result the river and its tributaries are some of the most tapped rivers for irrigation canals. Over the centuries thousands of canals were built in the area to carry water from the river into a large system of holding ponds, which served both as centres of aquaculture as well to hold water in the dry season when the Rushalya can recede to half its normal flow. ===Industry and Transport=== ==Cultural Significance== ===Art=== In Risevan art, the Rushalya at [[Varulsekaya|Hunter's Gorge]] is one of the [[Five Great Scenes of Risevne]], seen as the representative of "Strong Flows and Deep Silences". Besides this many other views of the Rushalya are also popular themes in painting and sculpture. [[category:Rivers of Risevne]] [[category:Isana]] Izuriwa Park 2955 16248 2006-11-21T03:13:13Z Christina 18 '''Izuriwa Park''' is a park situated in Precinct 2 of the [[Radungai District]], forming part of the [[Furinalmi]] neighbourhood. While small for a city park, at least in comparison with areas like the [[Royal Outer Gardens]] or [[Tanabina Park]], its location near many prestigious high schools, the Library Block, as well as [[Sansertha College]] of the [[University of Isana]], makes it a very well-known and popular spot for students and youth. ==Site and History== ==Significance== [[category:Parks of Isana]] Tanabina Park 2956 15047 2006-11-01T16:32:53Z Sirica 257 '''Tanabina Park''' is a public park in the west of [[Isana]], around the area known as Tanabina Ponds. One of the largest parks in the city, and a relatively new one, the park covers an area of around 2.9 square kilometres. The park is named after the [[Tanabina]] tree, groves of which are planted all around the park in view of its history. The park is under the administration of the [[Isana Parks and Public Spaces Department]]. ==Site and History== Tanabina Park straddles Precincts 2, 3 and 5 of [[Olmedor District]] in the western half of the city, and is joined by a series of ponds and artificial streams and rivers known collectively as the Tanabina Ponds. ===Origins=== The history of the park, and of these "ponds", is a unique one arising from the [[Fourth Global War]]. During that war, repeated bombings had completely devastated many neighbourhoods of western Isana, owing mostly to the dense and shoddily constructed buildings; the area that is now the park was one of the worst hit. During the postwar reconstruction, as special effort was taken to rebuild a more spacious city this time, the [[Izanosa Commission]] found itself hard-pressed for areas to build large parks in until they came across this area; on their recommendation the government hired [[Sharede Nisau]] and [[Ifesin Asav]] to design a park on the site in 1948. The proposal to build a park on the site sparked considerable resistance from the public, as the area had once been residential land and many victims of bombing had been buried there during the bombings; nonetheless work began in 1949, with the compromise that any exhumed bones and remains would be cremated and placed within a [[shrine (Risevani)|shrine]] in the park. The huge craters left behind in the bombings, many of which had filled up with rainwater, proved an inspiration; they were drained and reinforced with concrete before being filled with water again, after which the largest ponds were joined by a series of streams to form a complete system winding through the park. This core project was completed by 1952, and by 1957 work on the landscapes was mostly complete; the next year, in March 1958, the park was formally opened to the public. ==Features and Situation== Nowadays the park is one of the most popular and famous recreational areas in Isana; besides drawing locals it is also becoming a tourist attraction. Constant efforts by the city administration to upkeep the park has kept it a highly pleasant public space, as well as an important historical reminder in the country. ===Design=== The park was designed by Sharede Nisau and Ifesin Asav, who were relative unknowns at that time; their proposal for the plan, however, caught the eye of both [[Solanmer Izanosa]] and [[Egeni Tayor]], the Chief Engineer and Chairman respectively of the [[Urban Regeneration and Planning Board]]. ===Wildlife=== ===Significance in the City=== ==Buildings in the Park== [[category:Parks of Isana]] Template:Rewriteof 2958 15065 2006-11-02T16:08:10Z Melroch 31 {| class="messagebox" style="background-color: #CCFFCC;" |- | <div align="center">''This page is an ongoing rewrite of [[{{{1}}}]] </div> |} <noinclude> Cf.

Besides individual buildings, he is most famous for being the chief planner of the committee responsible for the re-construction of west [[Isana]] during the 1950s and 1960s, according to a plan now known as the [[Izanosan Plan]] which is still evident in the city today. [[category:Famous Persons of Risevne]] Isana Royal Outer Garden 2960 15078 2006-11-03T08:44:54Z Sirica 257 The '''Royal Outer Garden of Isana''', often known simply as the '''Royal Garden''', is a large park in the north of the city of [[Isana]], near the [[Risevan Royal Palace]]. It occupies an area of around 2.1 square kilometres, which is around three quarters of the total area of the Royal Gardens. The Royal Outer Garden was previously undifferentiated from the Inner Garden until 1843, when by decree of [[Queen Niseina III]] this area was opened to the public. From 1843 to 1924 a fee was charged for admission, the proceeds going to the maintenance of the park itself; after that, however, the park was placed along with most other city parks under the governance of the [[Isana Parks and Public Spaces Department]], and admission became free. It is also well known for being the site of the [[Risevan Botanical Studies Institute]], one of the foremost botanical research institutes in the world. ==History== ===Origin=== ===Opening=== ===War and Post-War Years=== ===New Roles in the new century=== ==The Park Today== ===Wildlife=== ===Events=== [[category:Parks of Isana]] Areas and Districts of Isana 2961 16853 2006-11-29T14:40:45Z Sirica 257 /* West Isana */ The city of [[Isana]] is divided into a total of 10 Areas, or Remis, which are in turn divided into Districts, or ''dego'' (commonly abbreviated to -de). This forms the basic framework of the city's local administration, and was devised in 1926 in the aftermath of the [[Third Global War]], partly as a measure to allow greater autonomy in reacting to crises within each area of the city. The division into remis is unique to the three [[subdivisions of Risevne|province-level cities]] of [[Risevne]], and represents a greater autonomy of government for all the different remis; unlike some other cities, however, the division does not confer municipal powers upon the subdivisions, neither does it define them as separate cities: the City of Isana remains a single unit of administration. ==Areas== ===East Isana=== E1.

The five places are: * [[Varulsekaya]], or Hunter's Gorge, formed by the [[Rushalya river]] in [[Ofalna Province]] * [[Lake Onetre]], in [[Besurgana Province]] * [[Mantebara Waterfall]], formed by the [[Adterge river]] in [[Besurgana Province]] * [[Sasabachorma]] (Mount Sasabac) and [[Gaikretahorma]] (Mount Gaikreta), in [[Atastarne Province]] * [[Agero ta Kasuren]] (Cliffs of Agero), on [[Nema Island]] in [[Bifeno Province]] The five great scenes each have their own specialties, which are seen as embodiments of certain skills in painting; for example the Varulsekaya represents "Strong Flows and Deep Silences", in terms of the flow of the river through the narrow gorge as well as the silence of the gorge and of the river below the gorge, while the two mountains represent "Implication of the Form"; since they are nearly identical, their relative placement in paintings is seen as a matter of depicting what surrounds them, an expression of the attention to detail in Risevan art.

Black-bodied with a white tail, the fish grows up to 1.8m and exceed 90kg in weight, but is usually caught while not fully adult, when it is little over a metre long and weighs just under 60kg, and believed to be when its flesh is at its tenderest and sweetest. The largest Besrian ever caught, approximately a [[keth]] upstream from the industrial city of [[Regea]], measured 1.94m and weighed in at 106.6kg.

It is the most popular of the lakes due to a combination of its (relative) accessibility and the proximity of tourist amenities, and is consequently the most in danger of pollution and environmental damage. It is also an important freshwater wetlands area; its eastern shore is relatively shallow for much of its length, and extensive beds of reeds and other semi-aquatic plants have taken up residence there, making the area an attractive breeding ground both for birds and fish; the small yellow fish known as [[Russau]] is a local delicacy. The reed beds, as well as the formerly extensive long grass and shrublands along the lake, have been under ever increasing pressure from development efforts. In 1997 [[CIE]] the environmentalist non-governmental organisation [[Semanos]] successfully campaigned for the imposition of restrictions on ecotourism, leisure fishing, camping and other activities in a roughly 5km² nature reserve surrounding the lake. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Oceans, Seas and Lakes of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Barrier Lakes 2966 15720 2006-11-17T16:00:42Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Barrier Lakes''' ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Alim Torēs''''' {{IPA|['alim 'tœre:s]}}) are a famously scenic group of lakes along the southern [[Alerryagi]], from whose name they derive theirs; the English name is a literal translation from the Arithide. ==See also== *[[Lake Charia]] *[[Lake Rist]] *[[Lake Everodes]] *[[Lake Augars]] *[[Lake Dumache]] {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Oceans, Seas and Lakes of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Lake Charia 2967 16526 2006-11-25T04:14:09Z Denihilonihil 119 '''Lake Charia''' {{IPA|['ʃæriə]}} ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Serein Tor''''' {{IPA|[se'ri:n 'tœ:]}}; [[Dethric language|Dethric]] '''''Charia Assis''''' {{IPA|[ʃa'ria 'asis]}}) is the highest and consequently most remote, pristine and scenic of the [[Barrier Lakes]].

The CIE takes reference to the [[Great Earthquake]] of more than 2,000 years ago. The idea of a Common Era, i.e. an international, common system to number years in sequence, as opposed to esoteric and idiosyncratic national systems, was first mooted in what is now known as 1945 CIE, at an [[1945 Vallea Summit|international trade summit]] among whose aims was a vision to standardise international [[systems of measurement]], so as to promote cross-border trade, travel and employment. While other aims, such as a [[Korin|global currency]], failed to gain traction, harmonising [[Calendars of Ilethes|calendars]] appealed favourably to world leaders, and by 1947 CIE the [[Treaty of Louvessier]] was signed, establishing the Common Era and backdating 1 CIE to the year of the Great Earthquake. ==See also== *[[Great Earthquake]] *[[Eruption of Mount Eramena]] *[[1945 Vallea Summit]] *[[Treaty of Louvessier]] *[[Calendars of Ilethes]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] Iryagi 2973 21924 2007-05-27T02:00:19Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Iryagi''' {{IPA|['irjagi]}} is the second longest mountain range of [[Ilethes]], running for over 5,000km down [[Marcasia]], first southwestwards from [[Misia]] then turning southeast at [[Erdia]], dividing the continent two-thirds northwest and one-third southeast. The range is as narrow as 18km at its northern end, but as wide as 420km towards the continental interior. The range's northern continuation on [[Istheusia]] is known as the [[Taza-a Lami]], and its southern extension on [[Arophania]] the [[Alerryagi]]. The three ranges are collectively known in geology as the [[Western Boundary Mountain System]]. The world's highest, and most notorious peak, [[Mount Eramena]], sits along the southern Iryagi on its southeastern edge, overlooking the modern [[Arithia]]n province of [[Tannaea]]. ==Name== The name ''Iryagi'' derives from the [[Arithide language|Arithide]] word ''ryagi'', "mountain range", from ''ryāg'', "mountain", and simply means "the I mountain range". There is still debate over the origin of the toponym "I", especially over whether it bears any relation to the identical autonym of the [[Areth]]. ==Geology== The Iryagi were formed through crustal uplifting as the convergent [[Marcasian plate|Marcasian]] and [[Maellorian plate|Maellorian]] plates collided. The denser oceanic Maellorian slid under the lighter continental Marcasian, but, due to an unusually small difference in density between the two at the plate boundary (the western edge of the Maellorian has its own landmass), the subduction was particularly frictive, leading to much folding of the crust and sedimentation that gave rise to the mainly metamorphic rock of the range today. The great tension generated from the awkward and unwieldy collision was to provide the underlying cause for many disastrous future volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. ==Climate== The range is of a generally uniform climate of the temperate sort, with temperatures averaging 20°C and precipitation around 60mm, and serves as the border between the more temperate south and the warmer northern parts of the continent. Due to this congenial climate, the range is heavily forested, and vegetation is primarily of the deciduous type. Snow lines are typically absent in the north of the range, but may reach as low as 2,400m near [[Erdia]]. ==See also== *[[Mount Eramena]] **1 [[CIE]]: [[Eruption of Mount Eramena]] *[[Mount Akannaa]] *1 [[CIE]]: [[Great Worldwide Earthquake]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Landforms of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Alerryagi 2974 15141 2006-11-05T11:56:45Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Alerryagi''' {{IPA|[a'lɛ:rjagi]}} on [[Arophania]] is the third-longest mountain range of [[Ilethes]], and is the southern component of the [[Western Boundary Mountain System]], continuing the course of the [[Iryagi]] on [[Marcasia]], interposed by the [[Chisthian archipelago]]. The source of three most important rivers in [[Arithia]], the range runs northwest-southeast down the continent, and continues into the [[Thorfu]] as the [[Tumides archipelago]], which represent the submerged peaks of the range's southern tip. The Alerryagi is just over 2,600km long on land, excluding the submerged peaks of the Chisthian and Tumides archipelagos. Due to the nature of its formation the range is considerably wide, measuring almost 1,800km at its widest point to cover the entire eastern third of Arophania, which entire mountainous region is known as the [[Eastern Seaboard]]. Besides the Tumides, the [[Sissemen archipelago]] is considered by some geologists as part of the Alerryagi (see article). ==Geology== Like the [[Iryagi]], the orogeny of the Alerryagi involved convergent tectonic plates, the [[Arophanian plate|Arophanian]] and, again, the [[Maellorian plate|Maellorian]], in subduction and folding processes, but with one major difference. While the Iryagi were straightforwardly formed by crumpling and sedimentation of plate-boundary crust with minimal volcanic involvement, the crustal uplifting that made the Alerryagi involved considerably the formation first of oceanic volcanoes along a highly active Wadachi-Benioff zone, due to the basaltic composition of the underlying magma (in contrast, the magma under the Iryagi is largely felsic). The subduction of the Maellorian, denser than the Arophanian due to its largely oceanic nature, had two simultaneous effects: first, the edge of the Arophanian plate crumpled and folded to rise above sea level as new mountains; second, increased volcanic activity on and under the Maellorian plate gave rise after repeated eruptions to an undersea lava plateau, which eventually surfaced, due to further tectonic lift, and became the modern [[Nimaean plain]]. The inland sea that existed around the Nimaean plain in the early stages of its formation disappeared to evaporation and percolation, remaining today only in the higher reaches of the Alerryagi as the [[Barrier Lakes]]. ===Hallaryagi=== {{main|Hallaryagi}} The Hallaryagi are a southwest-branching sub-range of the Alerryagi, stretching from approximately halfway down the latter towards the southern coast, near which it tapers off. It is believed that the Hallaryagi arose from a fracture in the [[Arophanian plate]] caused by the extreme stress originating from the plate boundary with the [[Maellorian plate]]. ==See also== *[[Plate tectonics (Ilethes)]] *[[Arophanian plate]] *[[Maellorian plate]] *[[Eastern Seaboard]] *[[Nimaea]] and the [[Nimaean Plain]] *[[Mount Ammon]] *[[Hallaryagi]] *[[Theph river]] *[[Nes river]] *[[Varant river]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Landforms of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Hallaryagi 2975 15137 2006-11-05T06:29:51Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Hallaryagi''' {{IPA|[ˌhɔllə'rjagi]}} are a small mountain range in southern [[Arophania]] that arose from a fracture in the crust of the [[Marcasian plate]] originating from the extreme stress of the convergent plate boundary with the [[Maellorian plate]].

The plate is largely oceanic, constituting the [[Pelas Sea]] and most of the northern [[Auzirean Sea]], and hence denser than the continental plates on either side of it, but as large landmasses still sit atop it, such as the Arophanian [[Nimaean plain]] and the [[Sovodiz Range]] on Istheusia. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Geology of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] [[Category: Arophania]] Barhinegel District 2977 15140 2006-11-05T11:05:58Z Sirica 257 '''Barhinegel Rego''', a portmanteau of "Bara-Hine-Gelkan" or "North East Bay", is district one of the city of [[Isana]].

Situated on top of the hill known as [[Nortekone]], or Swallows' Hill, it was once a crucial node in the defence of the city, dominating both the [[Rushalya river]] and the eastern land approaches into Isana. Despite its present name, which derives from its brilliantly whitewashed walls, the fort was neither whitewashed nor named Garnoye in the past; before the [[1727 Rebellion]] the fort was called Nortenoye, "Swallows' Fort". The fort was painted white in 1731, and officially renamed in 1732. Now, Garnoye is a global symbol of Isana city, representing its historical side which the eastern "Old City" embodies. ==History== Archaeological records have shown that the hill of Nortekone has been a site of fortification ever since the advent of large-scale settlement in the [[Feladmena Plain]]; the oldest evidence of fortification in that area is a stretch of brick wall and several other remains tentatively dated to around 500 BDN. ===Origins of the present fort=== The first mention of the fort of Nortenoye dates to around 475 DN, when the [[Annual Chronicles of the Sovereigns of Masal]] states that ''Admiral Suga broke the fleet of rebellious bandits under the fort of Nortenoye, killed their leaders, and took 900 heads''. As the city of Isana grew and became the royal capital for the [[Kingdom of Masal]], the hill was also recognised as an important checkpoint and over successive reigns the hilltop fort was extended. Archaeological excavations show that the first Nortenoye was built in the classic pattern of Masalan castles, known as the Keep and Wings style. The centre of the fortification was a keep, situated on the northeast of the hill, and to its west and south walls led to the side fortifications, which are smaller towers armed with shooting platforms. The whole complex was then surrounded with two walls - a stone wall, parts of which still exist and have been incorporated into the inner wall of the present fort; and a wall of timbers. ===Expansion and War=== ===Decline under the Kingdom=== ===The Symbol of the Council=== ===Restoration and Revival=== ==Design and Geography== The present castle is the result of several rounds of expansion, decay, and restoration, of which the most impressive must have been the construction of the new main keep which was completed in 1430 after six years of work. The main keep sits on a foundation of stones and bricks, rising 32 metres above the hill, from which the stone and wood of the keep tower rises five more storeys; at the summit of the tower is a room with bronze bells, gongs and horns, used probably for organising the defence of the keep in case of assaults. ==Present Situation== The whole complex of Garnoye Castle, as well as the hill itself, now form [[Garnoye Park]], while the main keep of the castle is the site of the [[Garnoye Museum]], focusing on artifacts from the late Royal, [[Committee of Guardians]], and early post-Restoration periods. Despite being named a park, the Garnoye complex in fact is split into several areas and privately managed; admission costs 41 [[Mirin]], and attractions include daily displays of archery, horsemanship, swordsmanship and many other crafts of the age of the Kingdoms. ==Cultural Impact== Garnoye is seen as one of the symbols of Isana, as well as of Risevne as a whole, and it is often referred to in fiction as well as popular culture. In a 2044 poll, the castle beat several other prominent areas of Isana such as [[King Sarus I Square]] and even the [[Risevan War Memorial]] and was named the Most Memorable Building of Isana. Garnoye is often referred to in literature, especially in modern times; in [[Erai Raldergye]]'s works, for example, the castle is often taken as a sign of the old order that was being challenged continuously in the [[Ibakizaro]]; while the famed war poet Captain [[Niro Basidas]] wrote of the walls in several of his poems, one of which - "What if the Walls should not be White" - is presently engraved in a bronze plaque at the main gate of the castle complex. As for ancient treatments of the Nortenoye as a literary subject, the present castle houses a pavillion where 72 famous poems regarding the castle are all engraved in bronze on the pillars. In art, too, Garnoye is a popular and recurring image; the engraver and painter [[Surin Edinan]] produced a series of sixteen views of the central keep of Garnoye in 1766 (an act for which he was arrested and imprisoned by the [[Committee of Guardians]]), and since then that has been a popular way to depict the castle as well.

The river rises in the [[Mathormagos]], the central mountain range of [[Masalne]], and wends its way through several steep valleys before it reaches the coastal plain of the [[Lavgor Inland Sea]], where it then meanders before finally reaching the sea. The total length of the river is 227 km. Due to the course of the river comprising mainly mountainous regions, the Ainzera is known mostly as a fast flowing stream and some of its valleys have spectacular scenery, where the river has cut steep gorges nearly 60 metres deep, flanked by caves and holes caused by wind erosion. Along its course there are several towns, mostly on the lower course along the coastal plain. ==Human History== ==Economic Importance== ===Agriculture and Fishery=== ===Industry and Transport=== ==Cultural Significance== [[category:Rivers of Risevne]] Munirti river 2983 15304 2006-11-09T15:05:37Z Sirica 257 /* Cultural Significance */ The '''Munirti river''' (Mirselec ''Munerti ainos'') is a river in [[Risevne]], on the island of [[Agalmare]]. At 351 km, it is one of the longest rivers in the country. ==Geography== The Munirti is one of the few rivers on Agalmare, and the only major river, which empties into the [[Lavgor Inland Sea]] rather than into the [[Elaspegian Ocean]] on the other side. Its length is due to its highly circuitous course through the mountains, moving from valley to valley; first moving southeast from its source near [[Mount Asona]], it then bends westwards, then follows a long northwards loop that takes it past Mount Asona again before finally turning northwest and then west into the western coastal plain of Agalmare. Its entrance into the ocean is in [[Sonaira Province]], near the town of [[Henabu]]. For much of this course the Munirti is a swift, clear stream, and indeed during the summer stretches of it are well-known and popular white-water rafting spots; it also has several waterfalls, the highest of which is [[Ubagodo Falls]] where it falls around 33 metres over several stages. As the river enters the coastal areas, however, it becomes a much tamer and wider river, being nearly 40 metres wide and 2 metres deep at parts. Several towns either form along its banks or straddle it at this stage; from the mouth towards the source the major towns include Henabu, [[Nitile]] and [[Haraigegonama]], the provincial capital of Sonaira Province. Most of these towns are set up along the lower reaches of the river, where it was easily navigable and therefore useful as a transport route. ==Human History== ==Economic Importance== ===Agriculture and Fishery=== ===Industry and Transport=== ==Cultural Significance== The Munirti River, as well as Mount Asona which it nearly encircles, is central to the culture of the [[Anabanganka]] people who are mostly concentrated in areas drained by the river, or the adjacent coast. Both these landforms are centres of religion for them, and are also linked by legend. The Anabanganka have the custom of cremating their dead, and as according to tradition the resulting ashes are often divided into three: the first portion would be kept at home, the second brought up to be scattered on the slopes of Asona, and the third to be scattered in the river. While the mountain is seen as the place of generation for the race, the river is viewed as its sustenance, and every year several [[Munawagorba|festivals]] are held along different spots of the river to honour it. [[category:Rivers of Risevne]] Lake Onetre 2984 16269 2006-11-21T03:28:11Z Christina 18 /* Cultural Significance */ '''Lake Onetre''' (Mirselec ''Onetregaide'') is a lake in [[Besurgana Province]], on the island of [[Masalne]]. It is one of the many high-altitude lakes found on both sides of the [[Masehormagos|Central Mountain Range]] on Masalne, but its beauty has made it one of the most famous of these lakes, as well as earning it a place amongst the [[Five Great Scenes of Risevne]]. ==Geography== The lake is a barrier lake, formed by lava dams from ancient eruptions blocking the course of streams and eventually creating a lake; in this case the lake is estimated to be around 370,000 years old, and was formed from a particularly powerful eruption of nearby [[Tatzerik]] volcano. The lake itself occupies a valley around 330 metres above sea level, oriented east-west before bending north for its western third. In all the lake is around 9.5 kilometres long, and its width varies from around 180 metres to nearly 1200 metres. The water of the lake is around 16 metres deep on average, though in certain areas it reaches up to 68 metres deep. Surrounded by the relatively steep slopes of the eastern [[Mathormagos]], the lake nonetheless is flanked by plains, mostly on its north side and especially along the bend of the lake; that plain is the site of the town of [[Sepora]], which straddles the small river also called Sepora that drains into the lake. ==Human Impact and Importance== The shores of the lake have been inhabited by people ever since around 1,800 BDN; the town of Sepora traces its founding date back to around 200 BDN. The remoteness of the lake did not stop people from visiting the area, both for leisure and to fish; the lake, fed by many small mountain streams and being quite deep, was home to several species of well-known food fish. ==Environment== One of the prime factors that has allowed Lake Onetre to remain relatively pristine is its relative inaccessibility; even now there are not easy to reach the lake by any means, there being just two main roads that lead up to the area. Furthermore, in 1866 the lake was formally accorded a [[Royal Protected Natural Region]], and under the resultant regulations construction along the shores of the lake is heavily restricted. ==Cultural Significance== Lake Onetre's extraordinary natural beauty earns it a place amongst the Five Great Scenes of Risevne, and scores of paintings have been done of the area over the centuries. Of the five scenes it is considered the most colourful, while the [[Sages' Pillars|strange rock formations]] on the north side of the lake are also famous as studies in form and shape. A famous convention in classical [[Risevan painting]] is to paint four pictures of the lake, each from a different season and a different angle; many famous studies of this type have been done, including one by [[Gelgor Surinban]] over 1834 and 1835, and another by [[Adresil Mude]] in 1954, of which the "[[The Sages' New Pillar|Autumn]]" painting is one of the most renowned Risevan paintings.

[[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] Ingas archipelago 2987 15201 2006-11-06T11:13:36Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Ingas archipelago''' {{IPA|['ɪŋgəs]}} or the '''Chisthian archipelago''' ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Ingassim Moeindos''''' {{IPA|[iŋ'gassim 'me.indɔs]}}) are a group of young islands located around the [[Issol A'i]] in the [[Chisthian Sea]] (hence the alternative name), caused by an active mantle plume along the divergent plate boundary between the [[Marcasian plate|Marcasian]] and [[Arophanian plate|Arophanian]] plates. The major Ingas islands number fourteen, ranging in size from 2 to 13km², surrounded by more than 60 minor islets and rock outcrops that are mostly unnamed. While a few of the larger islands (e.g. the Amboi, Sortou and Klidhae islands) were once inhabited by fisherpeople, the archipelago is no longer populated, due to a number of factors such as migration to the metropoles following the advent of industrialisation, and the rise to dominance in the fishing industry of large commercial fleets, moored generally on mainland [[Audoria]] or [[Cadaeria]].

The continent constitutes 35% of the total land area of the planet, but, owing to large areas of desert and advanced demographic trends, is responsible for only 13.4% of world population and falling. The western "[[Head of Istheusia|Head]]" of the continent is the site of one of the three [[Ilethes cradles of civilisation|cradles of civilisation]] of the world, and home to the [[Karyāba]], the oldest extant civilisation known. ==Etymology== The English name ''Istheusia'' derives originally from the Dethric, but subsequently heavily influenced by the Arithide, owing to the greater wealth of information available about the continent in that language, due to centuries of contact. The Arithide name (which gave rise to the Dethric one) comes ultimately from the [[Carabaean language|an-Kiryeb]] ''Istyusi'' {{IPA|[istjo'si]}}, "homeland". Hindsight reveals the Areth choice of source name to have been uncannily accurate: mitochondrial DNA traces the origin of every race back to west-central Istheusia. ==Geology== The continent sits on an eponymous tectonic plate, the largest known plate to date, atop a rather fast-moving convection current that propels it more than 5cm a year against the [[Marcasian plate|Marcasian]] and [[Maellorian plate|Maellorian]] plates, from which results the crustal upheaval that has eventuated in the [[Taza-a Lami]] in the continental [[Head of Istheusia|Head]], and in the[[Kulyub Dur]] range on its southwestern coast. To the south the [[Arophanian plate]] pulls away from it, while the [[Sadon plate]] and the [[Naria plate]] subduct on its east to form the [[Abayan Trench]]. Istheusian rock, and consequently the magma on which it floats, is predominantly felsic: i.e. of high silica and aluminium content, which renders the lava of its volcanos viscous and quick to solidify. While this geological coincidence has created some of the tallest and most majestic volcanic peaks in the world, the occasional violent eruption is much more devastating (see [[1644 Eruption of Mount Kinaya]]). ==Land and climate== ==Territories and regions== ==Water== ===Oceans, seas & straits=== ===Rivers & lakes=== ==Ethnography== {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Continents of Ilethes]] [[Category: Istheusia]] Arophanian plate 2989 15167 2006-11-05T16:13:06Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Arophanian plate''' ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Salla Araphenaph''''' {{IPA|['salla a'rafənaf]}}) is a tectonic of southern [[Ilethes]] atop which sits the continent of [[Arophania]], diverging from the [[Marcasian plate]] in the north, the [[Istheusian plate]] in the northeast and the [[Oriconi plate]] in the west, but subducting the [[Maellorian plate]] to the east. The general direction of drift is southeasterly, at a rate of under 2cm p.a. Mineral content of the plate and its underlying magma is mainly basaltic, being rich in iron and magnesium. For this reason, lava from Arophanian volcanoes is generally fluid, tending to cover wide areas before solidifying; one such area is the [[Nimaean plain]], a lava plateau remnant from the orogeny of the [[Alerryagi]]. ==Landforms== ===Alerryagi=== {{main|Alerryagi}} ===Hallaryagi=== {{main|Hallaryagi}} ===Ingas archipelago=== {{main|Ingas archipelago}} ===Hibondassian archipelago=== {{main|Hibondassian archipelago}} {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Geology of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Category:Dethria 2990 15171 2006-11-05T16:22:24Z Denihilonihil 119 This page lists articles relating to the continent-nation of [[Dethria]] on the planet [[Ilethes]] in the eponymous constructed universe.

[[Category: Continents of Ilethes]] The Sages' New Pillar 2992 15177 2006-11-06T04:59:32Z Sirica 257 '''The Sages' New Pillar''' (Mirselec ''Maiga ta Ori Histamir'') is a famous painting done in 1954 by the modern painter [[Adresil Mude]]; it is the Autumn piece of his series titled "Studies of Lake Onetre, 1954". The angle of the painting is presumably from a boat near the [[Sages' Pillars]], the rock columns standing in the northeast of the lake. In 1945, a reconaissance aircraft crashed into the lake on a mission, killing the pilot; the plane landed sideways and one of its wings protruded above the water, where it stayed. The painting places this protruding wing as the centrepiece, and the titular new pillar amongst the stone pillars. One of the most famous pieces of modern Risevan painting, this piece was exhibited all around the world over the past decades; the most recent show, from 2036 to 2039, took it to the cities of [[Garangen]], [[Vyrusa]] and [[Ordalon]]. On his death, Mude bequeathed all his unsold and collected works (which included the whole 1954 series save the winter painting, which was bought by the [[Kaim Museum]] in [[Merinmas]]) to the [[Isana Royal Museum of Art]], where it is kept on permanent exhibit when not touring. [[category:Risevan culture]] [[category:Famous Risevan paintings]] Victory Road 2994 17168 2006-12-06T02:40:39Z Sirica 257 '''Victory Road''' (Mirselec ''Nairate Ryon'') refers to a road straddling [[Taibergute-dego]] and [[Taiberseimi-dego]] of [[Awenkara remis]], in [[Isana]], as well as the eponymous area formed by it and the streets branching off it. Flanked by parks, shopping malls and many historical buildings, Victory Road is considered one of the symbols of Isana, and is a famous tourist attraction and shopping spot. ==History== ==Site and Situation== The Victory Road itself is a 2.2 kilometre road, starting from [[Victory Square]] in the south, and extending to [[King Sarus I Square]] in the north; two other roads which are considered the boundary of the Victory Road area, namely [[Unification Road]] to the west and [[Bayside Boulevard]] to the east, run roughly parallel to the road, around 100 metres from it in both directions. The squares on either end of the road are internationally famous areas of Isana, and many city memorials are sited along Victory Road as well. At its northern end the road extends into the [[Unifcation Memorial Park]], and is relatively forested; along the rest of its length the road is highly built up. As one follows the road from south to north the buildings tend to become older, including rows of 19th century shophouses and many large market-malls dating from the early 20th century, though there are also many new developments along the central stretch and farther north. The area is the undisputed shopping heart of Isana, but the wide pavements and many features of urban design - there are neither [[Isana Underground|Underground]] stations, nor many bus stops, on the road itself - mean that the road retains a certain spaciousness. The Victory Road is most famous for the long rows of [[Kaigi]] trees which are planted along its length; many of these trees now stand nearly 20 metres tall and are the focus of frequent prunings and management efforts. Besides this, however, the road also has many other unique features that mark it as a special street in the city; its wide pavements are paved with red and grey granite from Risevne, while its streetlamps and lights are ornate bronze pieces which are replicas of the original 19th century lights. Many sculptures, statues and monuments fill the roadside gardens and walkways, and the four major roundabout junctions all house huge fountain gardens on the traffic islands. ==Significance== Every year on [[Victory Day|October 27]], the anniversary of the signing of the [[Fusalne Accord]], a major military parade takes place on the road. The [[Monarch of Risevne|Monarch]] inspects the parade personally, first in King Sarus I Square, and then in Victory Square where the Monarch then presents a wreath at the [[Risevan War Memorial]] and scatters flowers on the [[Risevan Shrine to the Unknown Soldier|Shrine to the Unknown Soldier]]. This parade is televised every year, as well as being watched live by tens of thousands of Isanani. Victory Road, along with [[Asargas Boulevard]] in [[Awenhine remis]] and [[Osmanthus Gate Avenue]] in [[Zaumir remis]], is also a favourite general gathering spot of Risevani in general, whether to celebrate or for demonstrations.

The tomb in Isana contains not one but three soldiers; while their names and the battles where they fell remains unknown, one of them is known to have perished during the [[Third Global War]], while the other two fell in the [[Fourth Global War]]. ==Site and Situation== The Shrine to the Unknown Soldier is part of the [[Risevan War Memorial]] complex, a group of gardens and buildings at the southern end of [[Victory Road]] in [[Awenkara remis]]. Within these gardens that insulate the war memorial from the bustle of the surrounding city, the Shrine is one of the most isolated buildings, accessible only by a path through a grove of [[Tanabina]] trees. Within the complex the Shrine to the Unknown Soldier is one of two shrines, the other being the [[Shrine to the Valorous of Risevne]]. ==History== ==Description== The building is made of white granite quarried in Risevne itself, in a manner resembling a classical [[Risevan shrine]], and facing northwest (the normal direction for a shrine dedicated to the dead) on a 3.5 metre stone platform faced with black granite. Within the main building of the shrine the three soldiers are interred in sarcophagi of the same white granite, also facing northwest; the wall where they are facing holds a bronze sculpture by [[Tarsen Akarzei]], dedicated in 1952, which depicts a broken sword leaning against a flowering [[Musora]] tree (a traditional representation of valorous death in battle and youth, respectively). A marble plaque at the foot of the sarcophagi is inscribed with these words: <div align="center" style="font-style: italic"> Here lies he of whom little is known:<br /> Nor name, nor rank, nor the field where he fell;<br /> But that he fought with valour<br /> And fell at his post. Though he is unknown, he is not forgotten:<br /> This shrine remembers him<br /> Who gave his utmost unto death<br /> In the service of his King, his Nation,<br /> His loved ones, and the cause of the just,<br /> And all like him, in life and death. Remember them too, with due honour;<br /> And commit yourself likewise to peace and freedom,<br /> As befits the memory of this fine soldier. </div> ==The Guard== ==See Also== *[[Tanabina Park War Memorial]] *[[Shrine to the Valorous of Risevne]] *[[Golanbe War Cemetery]] *[[Risevan War Memorial]] *[[Victory Square]] [[category:Memorials in Risevne]] [[category:Memorials in Isana]] Noma 2996 15194 2006-11-06T08:32:29Z Sirica 257 '''Noma''' is a continent in the far north of [[Valmante]], and one of the most desolate and least densely populated areas in the world; it has an area of 3,835,900 square kilometres, but a population of only 6.6 million as of 2040 DN, mostly concentrated along the southern coast.

[[category:Continents of Valmante]] [[category:Valmante]] Rabas 2998 15197 2006-11-06T08:44:07Z Sirica 257 '''Rabas''' is a continent in Valmante, which straddles the Equator and forms the larger of the two continents known collectively as [[Osorab]]. Forming a downward pointing triangle with three major peninsulas emerging from its western coast, it borders the [[Avinis Ocean]] on its east, the [[Sursinan Ocean]] on its west, and the [[Rabasoin Ocean]] on its north and northwest; to the northeast it is connected to the continent of [[Osonde]].

This reservoir is one of the central elements in the [[Rushalya Channelling Scheme]], as a store of water which it then releases into the [[Fosoge river|Fosoge]] and [[Raltani river|Raltani]] rivers. The reservoir's area is around 82 square kilometres; in the normal and dry seasons its depth averages around 16 metres, with the deepest point at around 23 metres; during the wet season this depth can double as the excess flow of the Rushalya and [[Naidan river|Naidan]] rivers flows into the reservoir. During the 2018 storm season, a record number of storms moving over the headwaters of the two feeding rivers pushed the water levels up to nearly 57 metres, though it was still short of the 65 metre maximum allowance that the reservoir was built with. ==History== ==Human and Environmental Impact== While the building of the reservoir was planned so as to minimise damage to the environment as well as to society around the area, a project of this scale nonetheless has had its effects. Nearly 2,800 people around the ponds had to be resettled, and the flooding of the ponds has meant the destruction of several areas of wetland which were important to migratory birds from [[Noma]], as well as species of flora and fauna along the affected slopes which were flooded. After construction was finished, the ponds were then used as a stocking pond for many types of fish, some of which have since followed the shunting canals into the Fosoge and Raltani and become invasive species. Sedimentation from the shunting canals into the rivers is also a problem; while it is relatively minor it has somewhat spoiled the clarity of the two rivers, which was formerly a draw for tourists attracted to the scenery of the eastern coast. On the positive side, though, the reservoir now serves as the central source of water for the province, and more importantly for [[Taluste]] and the cities on the eastern side of [[Feladmena Province]] and in [[Horeston Province]]. Besides it has itself become a major tourist attraction, with thousands of locals and foreigners alike coming to enjoy the scenery and fish. There are six companies now providing lake cruises and angling boats, and the lake is periodically restocked with fish.

Measuring approximately 62km in length but only 16km across from [[Cape Beytes]] on its north shores to [[Cape Somorra]] on its south at its narrowest point, the 330m-deep strait is a rich fishing ground and a vital passage on the main trading routes between Marcasia, Arophania and [[Istheusia]]; it was by way of this strait that the [[Areth]] first arrived in [[Calagia]] from [[Erdia]]. Within 50km of the Issol A'i lie three historically very significant cities: on Cape Somorra, directly overlooking the strait, is [[Isphea]], the ancient [[Lazeian Empire|imperial]] capital; some kilometres up the [[Taphae-Nes river]] delta lies [[Lazea]], the Areth political, economic and cultural centre; on the opposite bank, little after the point where the strait opens into the [[Denurean Sea]], is the old city of [[Tannea]], fortress capital of the province of [[Tannaea (province)|Tannaea]]. ==Names== The '''Issol A'i''' is also called the '''Deis Atherris''' {{IPA|['ðe.is 'aθəris]}} in [[Dethric language|Dethric]], or the '''Kunpaana Sieka''' {{IPA|[kum'pa:na si.'eka]}} in [[Tannaean language|Tannaean]], both of which mean "Strait of Constriction" in the respective languages. In most other [[languages of Ilethes]], the name of the strait is simply borrowed or derived from the [[Arithide language|Arithide]]. The Arithide etymology of the name is uncertain. ==Formation== The geological history of the Issol A'i is closely tied to that of the [[Western Boundary Mountain System]], along whose route it is sited. As the [[Maellorian plate]] pushed up against the [[Marcasian plate|Marcasian]] and [[Arophanian plate]]s to form the [[Iryagi]] and [[Alerryagi]] respectively, the crustal level around the location of the strait today rose significantly. The Marcasian and Arophanian plates subsequently accelerated their divergence, and the mountains at the plate boundary sank to form a narrow isthmus connecting the two continents. When sea levels rose due to the [[Iletheride warming]] 13 million years ago, the isthmus was submerged to form the Issol A'i, as the now submarine mountains sank further due to waterlogging and the weight of the sea on them, deepening the strait, which eventually reached its present depth of 330m. ==Strategic significance & importance== Due to its strategic location at the centre of the three [[Old World (Ilethes)|Old World]] continents, [[Marcasia]], [[Arophania]] and [[Istheusia]], and as the only eastern exit from the [[Chisthian Sea]], the Issol A'i has played very significant and important roles throughout history. ===Rise of the Areth=== The [[Areth]], having very early settled on both shores of the Chisthian, by way of the strait, naturally came to dominate the area. The lack of large expanses of arable land pressured the Areth to turn to the sea, and the rich fishing grounds of the Issol A'i provided them with a natural centre of settlement. Subsequently realising the value of their location astride the major transport routes, the Areth capitalised heavily on it through developing, encouraging and stimulating trade, which was to be the mainstay of their economy for many years to come. ===Feudal struggle for control=== {{main|Battles of the Strait}} In the years after the fall of the [[Lazeian Empire]], the successor feudal states fought frequently, and occasionally with disastrous results, over the Issol A'i and for control of the lucrative trade routes passing through it. Such battles usually involved tussles over the two most proximate and important cities, [[Isphea]] and [[Lazea]], and at the end of the first century after the imperial demise, the two cities had together been besieged 8 times, and attacked 14 times. For a brief period of 38 years, the strait was held by the invading [[Andu]] empire from the north, which had overrun the empire's [[Marcasia]]n holdings in its last days, and captured Isphea and Lazea. ===Modern international relations=== Situated at a shipping lane bottleneck, the strait has at times served as a very useful tool in international diplomacy. *In the [[Zesou Crisis]] of 1935 [[CIE]], [[Arithia]] successfully averted a potentially catastrophic invasion of its ally, [[Zesou]], by closing the strait to ships, military or otherwise, belonging to, registered in or flying the flags of the states party to the [[Cordial Alliance]], which was orchestrating the aggression. The blockade lasted for almost 11 months, during which the Arithide navy sank 29 merchant ships, as well as 5 military vessels of the Alliance in three separate naval battles. The closure was lifted when hostilities ended and a peace treaty was signed, and modern historians estimate the cost of the blockade to the Alliance members to have been between 4 and 7% of GDP. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Oceans, Seas and Lakes of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Golanbe 3002 15647 2006-11-16T14:36:37Z Sirica 257 '''Golanbe''' is a city in southwest [[Feladmena Province]], 41 kilometres from the boundary with [[Isana]] City and linked to it via both the [[Ibretal High-Speed Rail Network]] and the [[Ibretal Southern Highway]]. It has a population of 421,335. ==Geography== Golanbe is one of the many so-called "Plains Cities", or [[Menasanite]], a term referring to the group of cities within the [[Feladmena Plain]]. Its terrain is mostly flat, and crossed with many streams mostly flowing north towards the [[Rushalya river]]; the major rivers include the [[Bude river]] and the [[Nigil river]]. One of the most prominent geographical features of the city is the [[Aduna Mound]], which rises in the north of the city near the Nigil to a height of 88 metres. To this day an aircraft observation post dating from the Fourth Global War, and a museum dedicated to the city's war years, stands at the summit. ==History== Golanbe is famous for being, by proportion, the Risevan settlement that lost the most of its people during the [[Fourth Global War]]. During the war, the Risevan Army was organised for convenience and morale into units according to the hometowns of recruits, and the regiments of Golanbe repeatedly found themselves in the thick of some of the worst fighting of the war, including the [[Battle of Garmagas Island|Battle]] of [[Garmagas Island]] and the [[Battle of Hamakairanoe]]; because of their proximity to Isana and their being well-known as alternative factory sites, they were also heavily bombed by [[Fourth Grand Coalition|Coalition]] attacks. All in all, out of 81,000 people at the start of the war and discounting children who were evacuated, a shocking 22,000 died and another 29,000 were wounded.

During this battle the Risevan 4th Division under General [[Erimis Nerosav]], and the 11th Division under General [[Erimis Asuge]], successfully repelled a large-scale invasion of the island by the forces of the Kavenain 9th Division, 16th Division, and the Barisem 22nd Division after an extremely bloody two month fight. This land battle is often combined with two naval battles, the [[Battle of the Four Atolls]] and the [[Battle of Kaizaruka]], and defined as one of the turning points of the Fourth Global War in the [[Elaspegian Ocean]]. The extremely bloody but ultimately successful defence of the islands, as well as the successive blows inflicted by the [[Risevan Royal Navy]] on its opponents at sea, managed to stem the long-range bombing offensives being launched upon the Risevan capital of [[Isana]] throughout the first four years of the war. ==Background== ==Battle== ==Aftermath== The three successive victories of Risevne over its two staunchest enemies across the Elaspegian Ocean would go a long way towards breaking their ability to strike at the Main Islands, and eventually towards the ability of its allies to supply it across the sea safely.

In this battle the [[Risevan Royal Navy]] under Admiral [[Auseri Sosten]] successfully defeated a larger force of Barisem ships sent to resupply and reinforce the assault on the islands. Widely considered one of the major turning points of the war in the [[Elaspegian Ocean]], the battle had major repercussions on the course of the war, foreshadowing the eventual devastation of the Barisem navy four months later in the [[Battle of the East Ninain Sea]] and the turning of the tides in Risevne's favour. More immediately, the battle and victory forced another attempt at resupplying the troops by the [[Kavena|Kavenain]] navy, which would lead to yet another fierce naval battle and victory for the Risevani in the [[Battle of Kaizaruka]]. ==Background== Sheer weight of numbers, as well as the long distances involved, had limited Risevan strategy during the first phase of the Global War; facing two formidable enemies on her own, with her closest ally [[Iruze]] under great military pressure as well, the government was not ready to risk the already overstretched fleet on many small battles, where they would be overwhelmed. It had been this consideration that led to the withdrawal of the [[Risevan Main Fleet]] to its anchorages south of [[Serteni Province]]. ==The Battle== ==Aftermath== [[category:Battles of the Fourth Global War]] [[category:Elaspegian Theatre, Fourth Global War]] Auseri Sosten 3005 16985 2006-12-03T11:24:33Z Sirica 257 '''Auseri Sosten, Sosten ta Norya''' (16 April 1891 - 20 August 1968) was a [[Risevne|Risevani]] commander, serving as a ship's captain during the [[Third Global War]] and an admiral during the [[Fourth Global War]]. He is most famous for his command of the [[Risevan Main Fleet]] in the southern [[Elaspegian Ocean]] between 1944 and 1946, during which he commanded his fleet in several great victories. ==Youth and Early Career== Auseri Sosten was born in [[Kandisel, Inezama Province]], in 1891, to Oris Sosten and Neyu Irlaten. The eldest of 6 siblings, with one brother and four sisters, his family was one with a military background stretching back five generations to the time of the [[Committee of Guardians]]; his own father was a naval officer who had served with distinction during the [[First Global War]]. Later biographies seem to concur that Auseri's childhood, while harsh, was also highly educational; his father was known to be extremely strict, while also being very protective of his eldest son, indeed to the point of neglecting Auseri's brother Arin. ==The Second Global War== ==The Third Global War== During the [[Third Global War]] Sosten was promoted to command a cruiser, [[KV Santoye|the Santoye]]. ==The Fourth Global War== Though the war had started in 1940, Sosten was only called up to serve by his superior and lifelong friend [[Artase Kirmude]] in 1942, owing to his well-known expertise in carrier warfare due to his work in the years between the war. He was placed in charge of a joint task force with the specific aim of neutralising the navy of [[Beotes]], which was poised to join the war against the League and which possessed a potent force of 5 battleships and 3 carriers moored in the naval base of [[Asvro Island]]. Organising his force of 4 carriers and several submarines, he carried out the [[Asvro Raid]] which turned out to be a brilliant success. ==After the Wars== ==Later Years== ==Legacy== ==See Also== *[[Battle of the Four Atolls]] *[[Battle of Kaizaruka]] *[[Battle of the East Ninain Sea]] [[category:Admirals of the Risevan Royal Navy]] Sanle 3006 16628 2006-11-26T05:16:30Z Christina 18 The '''Sanle''' are the oldest civilization in [[South Odirá]].

The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the [[Risevan Royal Navy]], whose forces sunk 3 heavy carriers and crippled another two without suffering major damage to their capital units; at the same time a huge convoy of nearly 60 ships, meant to supply and reinforce the invasion forces on [[Garmagas Island]] to the southeast, also came to grief after being viciously attacked from the air and sea. ==Background== ==The Battle== ===Order of Battle=== ''[[Order of Battle of the Battle of Kaizaruka]]'' ===29 September=== ====First Contact==== The beginning of the battle came unexpectedly to the Risevani, who were for the moment working on two-day-old data and searching the oceans for the expected convoy; at around 1335 in the afternoon, three Coalition destroyers were spotted by Risevan aircraft. ===30 September=== ====Morning Attacks==== The two skirmishes of 29 September, though they caught the Risevan force off balance and succeeded in causing severe damage, also had the effect of giving away the position of the coalition's main carrier group from which instructions were being sent out by radio in large amounts. The voluminous transmissions were easily picked up by the second escort group screening the west, which passed on the messages to the Vanguard Group and Sosten's flagship; this, as well as the constant flow of information from his reconaissance planes screening the northwest, allowed him to work out with relative certainty where the enemy was. On the other side intelligence was much poorer; after losing Screen Group 1 in its chase, the commander of the light cruiser squadron was ordered instead to return to its station and continue cruising, while the reconaissance seaplanes were sent out to shadow the enemy vessels. Plane cover was patchy, however, and the night of 29/30 September was very cloudy, making the task even more difficult. The relatively inferior signals intelligence of the coalition forces also made it difficult for them to ascertain the Risevan fleet's position. Nonetheless, after the two engagements, both sides were clearly headed into engagement. Sosten was quick to grasp several facts; firstly the enemy carriers were moving into a course almost parallel to his, and closing as quickly as they were it was best for him to strike early and utilise the longer range of his aircraft to cripple the enemy before risking a reply strike from a heavier force. Secondly, both admirals agreed on the speculation that with combat drawing close, but without certain information, the enemy's carriers would probably choose to launch heavy air patrols while keeping a large proportion of their strike force on the deck to be armed, fuelled and scrambled at the first opportunity. Given this Sosten's plan was to launch two decoy attacks from the southeast, where the Barisem and Kavenain most expected the Risevani to come; the main blow, however, would come circuitously from the northeast, where most of the forces would be directed into the carrier group. In accordance to this plan, at 0410 nine reconaissance aircraft were launched to ascertain the coalition fleet's course and posision, and an hour and a half later the first decoy wave of fighters was launched. Soon after them all the carriers of the Vanguard Group launched the first attack wave at around 0600, and the Wing Group launched at 0635; at the end of their briefing Admiral Agamerk is said to have told the pilots: ''Now is the time to do your utmost; your king, your nation and your people expect nothing less of you.'' The pilots replied him with cheers. The first Risevan aircraft to attack the group, as planned, came from the southeast and arrived at around 0745; the squadron of fighters, accompanying 12 torpedo bombers, managed to evade the screen of destroyers in the low cloud cover, but ran straight into the air patrol envelope. While the fighters engaged, the torpedo bombers quickly dived below the clouds only to find that they had been above the battleships [[Luzeno]] and [[Mardatein]], and attacked at very close range. The entire group was annihilated by anti-aircraft fire, but a torpedo struck the ''Mardatein'' aft which did detonate, severely damaging its propellers and engine spaces and reducing it to about 12 knots. Meanwhile, the squadrons of fighters took similarly heavy losses, but succeeded in throwing the coalition fleet off balance and caused heavy losses amongst the combat patrol fighter that would need quick reinforcement. The torpedo attacks, as well as the fierce fighter combat which had broken out in the north, immediately drew the attention of the coalition fleet, and as fighters were directed to the area the northeast of the group was left relatively open, being screened by just 6 destroyers and several submarines. At around 0853, after making the circuitous route and flying above the clouds to minimise the risk of detection, the first wave descended and to their surprise found that they were very near to their ultimate targets, the four carriers of the coalition Main Carrier Group. Surprise was complete; after the fierce aerial combat, and the torpedoing of the [[Barisem light cruiser ''Nivalis'']] at around 0810 by Risevan submarine G-36 (which left the cruiser dead in the water and again led to Masun to order more ships south and ready his aircraft for counterattack), the decks of the carriers were jammed with all sorts of planes, all in different stages of refuelling and arming, as the carrier crews scrambled to prepare fighters, bombers and torpedo bombers alike. The order to arm as many aircraft as possible had been given by [[Mirges Ronsand]], commander of the carrier group; unsure whether to replenish the air patrols first or launch a counterattack, and taken by surprise at the initial decoy strike, he decided to partially arm his aircraft and await orders, not knowing that his superior was equally surprised by the sudden developments, and equally ignorant of the enemy's exact position. While the coalition commanders dithered the first wave of 62 dive bombers, 20 torpedo bombers and 56 fighters exploited the unique chance. ''[[Magon]]'' was struck by six bombs, ''[[Sholdau]]'' by three; shortly afterwards a torpedo scored a direct hit on ''[[Malexem]]'', followed by a single armour-piercing bomb which plunged through the flight deck and detonated in the hangar deck where a whole squadron of aircraft were being refuelled and armed, causing a explosion which shattered the flight deck, set the whole ship aflame and was followed by several secondary explosions. Finally ''[[Kenairom]]'' was also hit, by two torpedoes and five bombs which also set off explosions both above and below flight deck. The last two carriers of the group, ''[[Nikeron]]'' and ''[[Argenau]]'', miraculously escaped damage despite being attacked as well. ===1 October=== ==Aftermath== Just 40 minutes after the last sortie from KV Ainzera had landed and the battle was considered over, Admiral Sosten debriefed his staff officers onboard his flagship; during this brief he made a rejoinder to his colleague's exhortation at the critical stage of the battle the day before, saying "Our battle has ended in victory, and you have done well. Shame be upon anyone who belittles in any way the worthy men who joined this battle." This message was later broadcast to the pilots in the respective carriers. The immediate results of this defeat, in any case, were at once clear; with both the Kavenain and Barisem fleets so badly damaged, the armies of the two countries fighting against Risevan forces on Garmagos Island would be trapped and cut off from either resupply or reinforcement, while the Risevan navy could finally move in to play the role of supporting the defenders with devastating effect. The very next day after the battle carriers began flying attacks on enemy positions all along the landing beaches, and two days after the battleships moved in to bombard the attackers in the same way they had bombarded the beach before their own assault. The victory at Kaizaruka made victory on the island much more certain. In the long term the numerical superiority of the two navies, which had kept the Risevan forces at bay for so long trying to find a decisive encounter, was badly dented if not destroyed. Against 11 Risevan fleet carriers the navies of Barise and Kavena used to muster 25; now they could put together 19, of which 5 were crippled. Most grievous though was the loss of hundreds of experienced aircrew on board the lost carriers as well as the surviving ones - 412 planes were lost, many with the loss of their well-trained pilots.

Twenty-six ships of this class presently serve with the navy. The Varunim class ships represent a major advance over the design of their predecessors; improvements in shipboard computer systems as well as major overhauls in the radar and sonar suites, as well as vast advances in propulsion technology, made the ship amongst the most advanced when it first emerged; certainly its computer tracking and air-defence system, known as the [[Sorvane command system]], was and still is the most advanced of its kind in the world. At 8455 tons displacement, the class was also far larger than its predecessor. Continuing a long-standing tradition within the RKN, these ships are named after ancient provinces and district names of Risevne; in this they have taken over the designations for many cruisers of previous ages. Varunim for example shares its name with the [[Risevan light cruiser Varunim (1935)|cruiser Varunim]], which served with distinction during the [[Fourth Global War]] and gained a reputation as being a very charmed ship. Presently the Varunim class are being reinforced by the newer [[Vasoseye class]] destroyers, which have a lengthened and expanded hull but retain the configuration of the Varunim class; the latter are not meant to be a replacement, however. The Risevan government has no plans yet to replace the ships.

The term Anabanganka is recently gaining more widespread use as the accepted name for the race; it derives from the [[Anabanganka language]] term ''Ana-ba-nganka'', which means "Men of the Hill" and was originally used to differentiate themselves from the Mirsel, who in their language are called ''Ana-ba-onama'', "Men of the Plain". The main Anabanganka homeland is in the northwest of Agalmare, in [[Sonaira]] and [[Mongar]] provinces; within these provinces the Anabanganka, who make up a significant proportion of the population, are granted equal language education and tribal rights, and local culture is highly distinct from the culture elsewhere in the nation. All in all the Anabanganka are the largest minority ethnicity in Risevne, but this still amounts to just 4.7% of the population or around 3.7 million people.

It is sometimes called ''Sainahorma'', or "Central Mountain", by Hyomenigani, due to its central position within their province. Nodorin is widely considered an dormant volcano; the last major eruption was estimated to have been around 7,000 years ago, and even now it does eject ash into the air every few years. It is the site of an unusually high number of hot springs, and three towns renowned for their hot spring inns stand around the foothills of the mountain, namely [[Furasa]], [[Itnev]] and [[Bano]]. The valleys around the mountain also have very rich farmland, and on the foothills of Mount Nodorin is the famous city-fortress of [[Shezinas]], an ancient capital of the region. [[category:Mountains of Risevne]] Hyomeniga Province 3022 15493 2006-11-14T03:41:28Z Sirica 257 '''Hyomeniga Province''' (Mirselec ''Hyomeniga denai'') is [[Subdivisions of Risevne|Province]] 21 of [[Risevne]], and one of the so-called Mountain Provinces. Facing the [[Lavgor Inland Sea]] on its eastern coast, it borders [[Besurgana Province]] on its south, [[Tasenir Province]] on its north, and [[Lorudac]], [[Neiberin]] and [[Tineye]] provinces on its west. Its capital is the coastal city of [[Nitaro]]. By area Hyomeniga is the largest province on [[Masalne]], though its population is comparatively small, as is the case with all the mountain provinces. Encompassing the [[Mathormagos]] mountains within most of its area, the province is known as a rugged land with beautiful scenery. ==Geography== Hyomeniga is mostly dominated by the [[Mathormagos]] mountain range, most importantly the [[Hyomene Plateau]] which rises in the centre of the province and takes up around one-third of the area. A plain at an altitude of about 600 metres and surrounded by mountains reaching up to 2200 metres, this plateau is much enriched by volcanic soils and is a highly productive area for agriculture, especially the ranching of cattle. ==History== Owing to its isolated position, which also rendered it difficult to attack and conquer, Hyomeniga has historically been one of the more independent regions of Risevne. Between the 3rd and 10th centuries the area was the site of several successive kingdoms, based upon agriculture in the mountainous plains and which at their most powerful could match anything of the small southern kingdoms in strength. ==Economy and Demography== As one of the mountain provinces, the economy of Hyomeniga is based mostly around agriculture and light industry; this province differs from those farther north, however, in that it also has significant inland development due to the relatively mild climate of the Hyomene Plateau. Most cities and other urban developments, however, remain concentrated around the Inland Sea coast. The Hyomene Plateau is the centre of Risevan ranching; mostly cows are bred here, though sheep and horses are also common. Most of this farming is concentrated around groups of villages scattered along long roads, some of which date from the 18th and 19th centuries, and which still preserve many of the old features of Risevan architecture. This, as well as the strong preservation of folk culture in the region, has in turn contributed to the growing tourism industry in this province. In terms of population structure the province has one of the older populations of Masalne, though recently certain towns have grown due to wealthy and relatively young businessmen buying houses in the region as vacation homes. ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Nitaro]] *[[Ovonge]] *[[Sorilgana]] ==Famous Locations== *[[Mount Nodorin]] *[[Shezinas]] *[[Ruins of Kelkar City]] [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Western Boundary Mountain System 3023 17597 2006-12-22T09:45:13Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Western Boundary Mountain System''' ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Iraphim Onoris Ryagia''''' {{IPA|['irəvim 'ɔnəris 'rja:gi.a]}}) is a chain of continuous crustal uplift from the [[Nikidi Islands]] north of [[Carabaea]] to the [[Tumides archipelago]] in the [[Thorfu]], formed from the longest continuous destructive convergent plate boundary on [[Ilethes]].

A wholly insular country, its territory comprises nearly 2,300 islands, including the two islands of [[Masalne]] and [[Agalmare]] (collectively known as the Main or [[Home Islands]]); its total area is 315,200 square kilometres, and its national population is estimated at 93,665,200. The islands which comprise the country are estimated to have been inhabited for nearly 32,000 years, and the south of the island of [[Masalne]] was home to settlements akin to towns from as early as 6,000 BDN. In the immediate aftermath of the [[DN Event]] the people of the islands, known variously as Marsil or [[Mirsel]], became one of the great seafaring powers, raiding coasts as far afield as [[Osonde]] in the west. Risevne is home to the oldest extant constitutional monarchy, this governmental system being established in 1477 at the [[Matafengar]]. At present Risevne is one of the richest and most influential countries in the world, often cited as being one of the "Five Powers": Risevne, [[Iruze]], [[Henimara]], [[Kaidun]] and [[Erinedis]]. Economically it is one of the most advanced countries in the world, while it also wields considerable military and political weight, especially in its [[Risevan Royal Navy|navy]] which is by tonnage the largest in the world. ==Geography and Climate== {{main|Geography of Risevne}} ==History== {{main|History of Risevne}} ==Economy== {{main|Economy of Risevne}} Risevne's economy pres ==Government== {{main|Government of Risevne}} ===The Monarch=== ===Prime Minister=== ===Afengar=== The '''Afengar''', literally meaning "Assembly" in Mirselec, is the term used for the parliament of Risevne. ===Judiciary=== ==Administrative Subdivisions== {{main|Subdivisions of Risevne}} ==Demographics== ==Culture and Society== {{main|Subdivisions of Risevne}} [[category:Risevne]] [[category:Nations of Valmante]] Shezinas 3025 15492 2006-11-14T03:40:10Z Sirica 257 /* Design and Geography */ '''Shezinas''', often known as ''Shezinasnoye'' or Shezinas Fort, is a fort at the foothills of [[Mount Nodorin]] in [[Hyomeniga Province]], situated to the east of the mountain. It is ranked alongside [[Garnoye]], [[Mozavalnoye]] and [[Orosantenoye]] as one of the [[Four Famous Castles of Risevne]]; of these four, it has the oldest extant and complete buildings, with certain old towers in the fort dating from around 920 DN or more than 1000 years. ==History== The history of Shezinas castle is tightly bound up with the history of the regimes that based themselves in the [[Hyomene Plateau]] or extended over all of what is nowadays considered Hyomeniga Province. ===A Citadel of a Kingdom=== ===Union and Expansion=== ==Design and Geography== Of the many old castles and forts of Risevne Shezinasnoye contains some of the most extensive defences, reflecting its role in the changing political scenes of the plateau which matched those of the southern kingdoms a lot of the time. It is situated south of the volcano, on a ridge known as the ''Onoboganse'' or "Elbow Ridge", and centred around two water features: a large hot spring which serves an important defensive purpose, and a smaller cold spring which is the main source of water during sieges. While previous designs of the fort reflected more the distinct culture of the mountain kingdoms as opposed to the coastal and southern plains kingdoms, the present fort and main keep are more typical of the latter style, being built after the union of the kingdom. ==Present Situation== ==Cultural Impact== [[category:Castles of Risevne]] [[category:Hyomeniga Province]] [[category:Famous Castles]] Hyomene Plateau 3026 15355 2006-11-11T07:26:34Z Sirica 257 The ''Hyomene Plateau'' (Mirselec ''Hyomene igaryo'') is a plateau that occupies much of the inland area of [[Hyomeniga Province]], which in turn is named after it. A plain with thick, fertile volcanic soil at about 600 metres altitude, it is economically a highly important agricultural region of [[Masalne]]; famous products include beef and dairy products. ==Geography== ==Geology== ==History== ==Society== Despite recent changes which have opened it considerably to the world, the plateau retains much of its rural character, though many farmers have also opened part of their farms to the profitable business of tourism.

One of the three designated cities of Risevne, it forms the eastern end of the conurbation known as [[Ibretal]] and has a distinct culture from the other two major cities of [[Isana]] and [[Bresnga]]. It is the second largest city of Risevne, with an urban-area population of 7,276,550. ==Geography== Taluste's location on the eastern end of the Feladmena Plain, where the last of the [[Marhormagos]] mountain ranges meet the coast, means its terrain is much more rugged than the plain-dominated terrain of Isana and Bresnga; for this reason it is sometimes known as the Hill City, or ''Konesanite''. The city's residential areas stretch along the eastern coast, while the industrial regions tend to be farther within the hills. The entire city has an area of 831 square kilometres. ==History== ==Economy== Taluste's modern economy is centred around high-end products and research and development, especially in computers, robotics, life sciences and precision engineering. ==Government== ==Transport== ==Education== ==Culture and Society== ==Famous Sites and Buildings== [[category:Cities of Risevne]] [[category:Cities of Valmante]] Anesa river 3028 15360 2006-11-11T07:52:57Z Sirica 257 /* Human History */ The '''Anesa river''' (Mirselec ''Anesa ainos'') is a river in the south of [[Masalne]], and a tributary of the [[Rushalya]]. Sometimes it is also known as the "Border River" (Mirslec ''Gaeste ainos''), for two reasons: firstly it is analogous to the [[Gaestebirne|Border Ridge]], with which it forms the dividing line of the [[Feladmena Plain]] which it flows through; and secondly, for a significant part of its course, it forms the border between [[Eonis]] and Inezama Province. ==Geography== ===Course=== The Anesa river's source is in [[Lake Inomi]], one of the few lowland lakes of Masalne, situated in [[Inezama Province]]. From there it first veers north, and the northwest; this is when it is known as Gaeste ainos. At the intersection of the two provinces with [[Feladmena Province]], the river continues flowing northwest and then bends west until it meets the [[Rushalya river]]; the confluence is the site of the city of [[Ainemorne]]. In total its length is about 166 km. ==Human History== The Anesa is one of the first rivers on the island to have had humans reside along its banks. As early as 5,000 BDN the riverbanks are dotted with villages, and by the time of the first kingdoms in Masalne the valley of the Anesa river was the heart of the [[Anesa Kingdom]], which commanded all the territory analogous to modern day [[Ostema]], Eonis and Inezama provinces. This was one of the most powerful of all the kingdoms, and was a direct rival and enemy of the [[Sanose Kingdom]] farther north, based in the Feladmena Plain. The third and fourth centuries BDN, known in Risevne as the [[Era of the Kingdoms]], was dominated by the struggle between these and other early kingdoms in the south of Masalne, and the river was the site of many forts and naval battles in wartime, while becoming a large highway of people and goods during times of temporary peace. ==Economic Importance== ===Agriculture and Fishery=== ===Industry and Transport=== ==Cultural Significance== [[category:Rivers of Risevne]] Western Islands Department 3029 15504 2006-11-14T06:07:56Z Sirica 257 The '''Western Islands Department''' (Mirselec ''Karasurna Alzer'') is one of the [[Subdivisions of Risevne|three island departments]] of [[Risevne]], covering all islands under Risevan control west of the [[Risevan Home Islands]].

Named after [[Arin Horesen]], the Minister of Development from 1950 to 1962 who was famously known as the "Commissioner of New Isana", it connects the east and west coasts of the bay as part of the [[Bayside Expressway]]. It was completed in 1972, making it the newest of the three bridges spanning the Bay. ==History== Before this bridge, Gardaus Bay was spanned by two bridges: the [[Nikemi Bridge]] in the north, nearest the mouth of the [[Rushalya river]], and the [[Soruta Bridge]] which formed part of the [[Urban Central Highway]] that was a primary transport route for the city. The two links, as well as several links over the river, were widely seen as inadequate for a city that was expected to grow swiftly in population as rebuilding commenced; therefore, even in the Isana portion of the [[1948 City Plan]], plans for a bridge built farther south and supporting a larger coastal highway were already underway. ==Design and Geography== The bridge was designed by [[Hanis Bremigo]], an [[Iruze|Iruzeni]] who had designed several suspension bridges in his native Iruze. ==Significance== The bridge is sometimes called the "Waterborne Gate of Isana"; after the reconstruction of the [[Belegras Dockyards]] and the relocation of the main passenger terminus to inside Gardaus Bay, this appellation has only become more significant. In terms of city transport, too, the Horesen Bridge is crucial as the cross-bay component of the highway that now carries nearly the same volume of traffic as the Central Highway itself.

Variations aside, records show that the punishment was mostly used as punishment for violent crimes, as well as corruption or treason. ==Emperor Loran== Emperor Loran formulated several severe executions in the aftermath of his accession as Emperor, in order to quell and punish the potentially rebellious, and in any case rapacious, local militias which had formed to enforce the will of [[Lein Jungi berKasan|Emperor Jungi]]. The first recorded instance of this punishment came just several days after it was formulated, in the seventh month of the first year of Loran; thirty criminals had been sentenced to death by bludgeon in the market square of [[Meiron]] for terrorising the citizens, murders, and formulating of false judgements against people to confiscate their property. According to records: ''The men were tied first to a frame which enveloped their arms and legs, exposing only the elbows and knees; the executioners then bludgeoned the joints until they were shattered, whereupon the frames were removed and the arms and legs broken. Then they were hauled by rope to a great height, and dropped therefrom, right onto the heavy and blunt metal tips of the bludgeons; then endless strokes were given until their ribs and back were all smashed, and finally the head itself was smashed. The bodies were then hung on the South Gate for ten days.''

The name ''Baroye'' is derived from the word ''Baro yenger'', which in the [[Kavenagiru|Kavenain language]] means "high house", a reference to the houses of several wealthy Kavenain traders who had been granted royal favour by the [[Kingdom of Masal]] as monopoly traders of certain goods, in the 10th to 13th century. ==Site and Situation== Baroye borders [[Iselniragan-dego]] to the north, and [[Bastenal-dego]] to the south, while facing Gardaus Bay to its west. The built up areas of Baroye are mostly on the inland side, while the areas nearer the sea are given over to shops catering to the working crowd, as well as many small gardens often known as ''Basademiles'' or "Pavillion Fields", many of which were built from donations of land by private individuals in the 19th century. ==History== ==Bastenal Today== ==Neighbourhoods== ==Famous Buildings== ==Notes== [[category:Neighbourhoods of Isana]] Asugai Seterno 3037 16191 2006-11-21T02:36:49Z Christina 18 /* Legacy and Impact */ '''Asugai Seterno''' (13 June 1861 - 12 December 1932) was a famous [[Risevne|Risevan]] poet, dramatist and essayist, often said to be the "first modern poet of the country". Born to a scholarly family and proficient in eight major languages, Seterno's wide knowledge of forms of poetry both within and outside of his country gave his work a highly varied voice, and it was through his writings that many styles and ideas of poetry were transmitted in Risevne, inspiring poets long after him. In 1910 he was awarded the [[Risevan Royal Award for Excellence]], citing his "mastery of poetry, and his use of the art in stirring the spirit of Risevne"; 9 years later he was awarded the [[Agenir Literary Award]], one of the most prestigious prizes for a man of letters. Throughout his career he did not just write in [[Mirselec]], though it was his native language; instead he published works in four languages, and often did translations of his own works. ==Childhood and Youth== Seterno was born '''Asugai Biran Seterno''' on June 13, 1861, in the city of [[Bisdauni]] in [[Ostema Province]]. His father was Biran Seterno, a well-known professor of Mirselec in the local university; his mother, Soruya Banandor, was a student of the elder Seterno and 13 years his junior, and by the time of his birth a well-known writer of short stories. ==Early Career== ==Travels and Hardship== ==Poet Laureate== ==Later Life== ==Legacy and Impact== The artistic legacy that Seterno left behind was immense, and made even more immense when after his death his colleagues in the University entered his rooms on campus, as well as his apartment - both of which had seen no visitors for around two decades. They found huge volumes of hitherto unpublished manuscripts, including notes for plays and several long poems written entirely in the archaic [[Sasuriona]] style.

It was the first continent to be settled by humanity. The continent is divided into two parts, known as East Odirá and West Odirá, divided by the presence of a large mountain system. The two halves were separate continents until about 40 million years ago. A large inland ocean basin, the [[Kalpanian Sea]], is trapped between the two subcontinents, and has historically played a significant role in the history of the two subcontinents. == West Odirá == South Odirá has traditionally been dominated by the [[Sanle]] civilization, and most of the cultures of the area have been significantly influenced by them. One notable characteristic of South Odirán civilizations is their matriarchal structure. == Dividing Mountains == The Dividing Mountains are subdivided into three chains, the Northern Barrier Mountains, the Fire Mountains (also called the [[Fantasta Mountains]]) and the Southern Barrier Mountains. The Northern and Southern Barrier Mountains are both high mountainous chains, with the world's largest mountains included in them. The Fire Mountains are a set of volcanoes along the southern shore of the [[Kalpanian Sea]]. == East Odirá == [[Category:Galhafan Geography]] Kalpanian Sea 3041 16785 2006-11-28T20:42:05Z Christina 18 The '''Kalpanian Sea''', earlier called the '''Fantasta Sea''', is a large inland sea in the southern part of [[North Odirá]], bordering the [[Fantasta Mountains]]. It is actually a trapped ocean basin, having once been a large gulf until North and [[South Odirá]] collided about 40 million years ago. The ocean crust under it is being gradually subducted under South Odirá, forming the Fantasta Mountains. The name ''Fantasta'' was derived from the [[Classical Sanle]] ''Fant Shta'', meaning North Sea. The name ''Kalpanian Sea'' was derived from [[Kalpan]], the name of an ancient kingdom that once controlled the entire sea. Though the name Fantasta has fallen out of use for the sea, it has continued life as the name of the volcanic range along its southern shore. [[Category:Galhafan Geography]] Fantasta Mountains 3042 16319 2006-11-21T05:27:16Z Christina 18 The '''Fantasta Mountains''' are a volcanic range along the southern shore of the [[Kalpanian Sea]] (formerly known as Fantasta Sea, the source of the range's name). The Fantasta Mountains are being formed by the subduction of ocean crust underlying the Kalpanian Sea. The mountains have traditionally formed an important connection between [[North Odirá|North]] and [[South Odirá]], as they are lower than the Eastern and Western Barrier Ranges, and have passes that are usually crossable. However, during cold periods of [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]'s history, the passes were snowed over, and the overland route was wiped out. The re-opening of the mountain passes after a minor ice age played a crucial role in the establishment of the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire]].

It is the oldest known compilation of Mirselec poetry, and contains a total of 417 poems, divided into several parts by their form: *''Sayen'', the religious odes, of which there are 92 *''Karsayen'', the royal odes sung during major festivities, of which there are 35 *''Menata'', folk songs, of which there are 212 *''Honameri'', individual prayers and invocations to gods, of which there are 62 *''Wasantosa'', longer poems meant to celebrate legendary figures, of which there are 15. While this categorisation adds a formal air to the collection, the works collected within the Sayenfurasa are often striking in their deeply personal tone, vivid use of images and symbols, and utilisation of implication to state their feelings. The Sayenfurasa is the oldest known compilation of Mirselec poetry, and is one of the most revered works of classical literature in the language; in the words of [[Hirdan Gersenga]], "what was written therein (within the Sayenfurasa) was the wood, and all poets after that are merely carvers." Having been dated back to around 420-450 DN, the last datable poem within this collection was from about 395 DN, and the oldest ones have been estimated to date from as far back as 100 BDN. As a text, it forms one of the several core texts for secondary students learning ancient and classical Mirselec. ==History and Texts== The work of compiling the text in its entirety is often attributed to [[Oristeonme]], a poet and attendant at a temple who was called to the court of the [[Kingdom of Masal]]; he is, however, widely seen to be the last in a series of compilers, especially of several well known poets (often known in Risevan art and literature as the [[Songwriters of Kormanoi]], after the city of [[Kormanoi]] which was then an important city in the Masal kingdom) who had travelled widely and then, in around 580 DN, compiled the bulk of the work in the Menata and Sayen. Unlike many other classical Mirselec texts which, due to royal whims or rivalries between nations, have survived only in fragmentary form, the Saeynfurasa has survived in highly intact form; the oldest known manuscript of the compilation, as part of the [[Omesa Tomb Manuscripts]], dates from around 865 DN and is presently preserved in the [[Risevan National Museum]]. Several other nearly complete texts, dating from as far back as the late 10th century, also survive in university libraries. The text is notorious amongst linguists of ancient Mirselec for its large number of hapices - words which only appear once in the text, and which in many cases do not appear in other texts at all. While contextual speculation, as well as the extremely valuable edtiion dating from 1297 which was massively annotated by the poet [[Moso Tailda]], have shed light on many of these rare words, several words' exact meanings remain unknown. ==Works and Study== The Sayenfurasa is very notable amongst Mirselec texts for the immense influence of mainland cultures. The works of the Sayenfurasa are studied widely, not only by Mirselec scholars but also by historians interested in the early history of east [[Osonde]]; the devastation of much of the area following the chaos of the [[DN Event]], as well as the fact that some of the most stable areas on the continent were in fact the [[Hesgarigani]] kingdoms of the third century, meant that reconstruction from these poems provided a way to understand the society of Osondain cultures. ==Organisation== The Sayenfurasa is firstly organised by form into the five categories; within these categories the poems are then further organised in different ways: *Within the Sayen, Karsayen and Menata, the songs are grouped by the number of syllables in each line; each such categorisation is given a regional title, even if the poems contained therein do not necessarily come from that region. Therefore the Songs of [[Bidan]] are all of the form ''5-7-6-7-7-7-6-6'', while the Songs of [[Rutimuna]] are all of the form ''5-5-6-5-8-5'' in each stanza. *Within the Honameri and Wasantosa the poems are simply grouped by their subjects; namely the major gods in the former, and the respective heroes and great men in the latter. ==Contents== ===Sayen=== ===Karsayen=== ===Menata=== *Songs of Bidan: 1-17 (Bidan is situated in modern day [[Ofalna Province]]; rhythm 5-7-6-7-7-7-6-6 *Songs of Rarena: 18-25 (Rarena is situated in modern day [[Ostema]] and [[Inezama]] provinces; rhythm 9-7-7-4-4-5 *Long Songs of Rarena: 26-33; rhythm 9-7-7-4-4-5-7-7-4-4-7 *Songs of Keise: 34-45 (Keise is in modern day [[Enimdanai Province]]; rhythm 5-5-7-6-5-5-7-9 *Songs of Hinemasal: 46-61 (Hinemasal is in modern day east [[Feladmena Province]] and [[Taluste]]; rhythm 6-6-7-7-6-6-5-5 *Songs of Barkararena: 62-76 (Barkararena is in modern day [[Eonis Province]]; rhythm 5-5-5-6-6-6-5-5 *Songs of Karamasal: 77-98 (Karamasal is in modern day west Feladmena Province and [[Bresnga]], as well as southern [[Ngaba Province]]); rhythm 7-7-7-6-7-7-6 *Songs of Isana: 99-116 (Isana is in modern day [[Isana]]); rhythm 7-5-7-5-7-7-7-5 *Long songs of Isana: 117-120; rhythm 7-5-7-5-7-7-7-5-6-6-5-5 *Songs of Urigal: 121-128 (Urigal is in modern day [[Osagona Province]]; rhythm 4-4-7-4-4-6-7-7 *Songs of Endaba: 129-136 (Endaba is in modern day northern Ngaba Province); rhythm 6-6-5-5-7-9 *Songs of Ersinar: 137-145 (Ersinar is in modern day southwestern [[Abanamide Province]]); rhythm 7-6-6-6-5-6-7-6 *Songs of Karinsa: 146-153 (Karinsa straddles modern day north Abanamide, and southern [[Osbane Province]]); rhythm 7-7-7-6-7-7-3-3-9 *Songs of Naigardi: 154-162 (Naigardi is in modern day southwestern [[Osagona Province]]); rhythm 6-6-7-6-4-4-9 *Songs of Pernelin: 163-174 (Pernelin is in modern day eastern [[Baseniga Province]], and western [[Serteni Province]]); rhythm 6-5-6-5-7-7-7-5 *Songs of Tanogema: 175-181 (Tanogema is in modern day southeastern Osagona and northwestern Serteni provinces); rhythm 9-9-7-5-3-3-6 *Songs of Sugito: 181-187 (Sugito is in modern day northeastern Osagona Province); rhythm 7-7-3-3-9-5-5 *Songs of Nagema: 188-201 (Nagema is in modern day eastern [[Naguse Province]]); rhythm 5-6-5-6-3-3-7-7 *Songs of Uriwana: 202-212 (Uriwana is in modern day western Naguse and [[Lyonaske]] provinces); rhythm 9-9-9-6-3-3-6-3-3-5 ===Honameri=== ===Wasantosa=== [[category:Mirselec literature]] [[category:Important Mirselec texts]] Category:Mirselec literature 3047 16215 2006-11-21T02:48:46Z Christina 18 {{main|Mirselec Literature}} This list contains pages to do with the literature of the [[Mirselec]] language.

[[Image:Big map artakhshandan empire at peak.jpg|thumb|right|A map showing the Artakhshandan Empire at its peak in 47 AI]] ==Origins== The Artakhshandans were a subgroup of the [[Parthavans]], who lived in [[Parthava]], a province in the north-eastern extent of the [[Artamashti Empire]]. The Artamashti Empire was at war with the Avustrean conqueror [[Daryamenes]], who was on the verge of completely destroying the Artamashtians. Having destroyed the Artamashtian Empire in 122 BI, Daryamenes set about consolidating his power in the north-east of the empire. However, his army was ambushed by [[Parthavans]], and Daryamenes suffered his first military defeat. He was shot by a Parthavan arrow, and died several hours later. He left his empire to his 8 sons. The [[Parthavans]] at this time were under the leadership of [[Aryane]], the daughter of the Satrap of [[Parthava]] who had been killed fighting [[Daryamenes]]. She had a personal vendetta with the Daryameneans, and in 121 BI, managed to unite the 12 Parthavan clans into one nation, and invaded the [[Daryamenean empire]]. ==Conquest of the Daryamenean Empire== Daryamenes had left his entire empire to his 8 sons, who were constantly bickering for control of land. After only a year's wait (during which time Aryane was mobilising her army) Daryamenes's successor states had grown tired with fighting. Their armies had been worn thin and their treasuries were running low. The Daryamenean kings increased taxation to pay for the war, however, this was not met kindly with the citizens. In late 120 BI, a mutiny in [[Ektabaktra]] (an eastern province) provided the conditions [[Aryane]] needed for attacking the Daryameneans. She moved into the empire, and conquered the entire land that Daryamenes had promised his oldest son, [[Melamenes]] in only 1 year 8 months.

Little is known of the early settlers. At one time, it was believed that humanity had originated on [[Khanda]] or [[Ospendakh]], but it is now known that humanity originated from beyond the Galhafan stellar system. Whatever their origin, they divided themselves into five colonies on Galhaf, four located on [[Odirá]] and one located on [[Kraya]]. For reasons unknown, they soon lost all technology, and these five colonies became the origin of the [[Ethnicities of Galhaf|five main racial groups]]. Being small in number, they were subject to the [[Wikipedia:founder effect|founder effect]] and quickly distinguished themselves as distinct races, though later interbreeding complicated racial divisions. Over a period of a few millennia, humanity spread out, adopting a paleolithic stone-age lifestyle, and adapting to the local ecology. After about 4000 years (3000 Earth years), agriculture was developed in [[Kalpan]], with southern [[Sanle]] following shortly thereafter. Over time, humanity developed increasingly complex civilizations, until today humanity has begun once more to [[Space Exploration in the Chihazh System|explore and colonize]] their local [[Planets of Chihazh|stellar system]].

It is dominated by the Faraneih, an ethnic group who comprise over 99% of its 10 million inhabitants. ==Geography== It is bordered on the northwest by the Kupeimeiceah, a barren desert. To the northeast is a stretch of savanna, while the southeast is mainly higher and higher mountians of which Lescealh is merely the foothills. That mountain range extends south, further than the Faraneih know, who refer to it as the "backbone of the world". To the southwest lies the chapparell which eventually gives way to the Measceineafh and Teimeareitah (Trovog in [[Etimri]]). Due to this unique geography, Lescealh has adequate annual rainfall (around 30 to 40 inches in many regions), although the areas bordering it have very little rainfall, giving it a more productive economy and agriculture, in part inspiring its dominance over other regions and promotion of its langauge ([[Faraneit]]) to lingua franca status. ==Ecology== Lescealh is commonly described as having a "cfzb" or "cfb" climate under Koeppen's system. It profits from winter rainfall (from the west), which allows it to avoid the harsh winters of the east, as well as the monsoon from the southeast, which boosts its amaranth production, Lescealh's main crop. Lescealh is famous for its multi-colored forests, where a mixture of various tree species grow and thrive. Because of its colorful appearance, it was named Lescealh, which derives from the same root as leizealh, gem, in [[Faraneit]]. ==Agriculture== Agriculture is highly productive in Lescealh. Its leading crops are puzil, a tree which produces harvestable sweet roots, amaranth, lirodeaz, a sweet and sour flavored melon, nopav, a lettece like green, and voanabeap, a fiber crop. Hirdan Gersenga 3057 16455 2006-11-23T14:18:01Z Sirica 257 '''Hirdan Gersenga''' (15 May 1542 - 22 September 1601), more well-known under his pen name '''Erivinkisa''' meaning "Aged Quill", was a [[Risevan]] writer who is often regarded by Risevani as being one of their greatest writers. Working mostly in poetry while also being an expert essayist, Gersenga produced a total of about 430 poems and nearly 700 essays which have survived to this day; his essays, which are termed by him to be ''Kisa ta Omadeye'' or "The will of the pen", are considered pioneers of the form. Some of his most famous works include his long poems, which he titled ''Navno te Wasantosa'' (meaning The New Wasantosas, the term referring to a specific sort of ode within the ancient poetic text [[Sayenfurasa]]), the longest of which - the [[Erunmitir ta Wasantosa]] or ode of [[Erunmitir]] - contains nearly 5,200 lines and has had a profound effect on literature even up to the modern era. His essays, on the other hand, portray a very different side of him; mostly composed during his years in the wilderness of modern-day [[Ofalna Province]], they possess a tone very different from that of his poetry, concerning themselves with nature while holding deep philosophical musings as well. The impact that Gersenga has had on modern Risevani culture cannot be overstated; he is often considered the national poet of the whole nation, so much so that he is often referred to as ''Risevne ta kisa'' or "The Pen of Risevne". His works have been translated into most major living languages and are read across the world. ==Childhood and Youth== ==Officialdom== ==Royal Poet== ==Tragedies and Retirement== ==Later Life== Given these numerous tragedies that befell his family, Gersenga soon fell into a deep depression; it was somewhere in this period that he finally decided to leave Isana. In a letter to [[Queen Sesorna]], who under the First Constitution had the power to approve of resignations from the [[Afengar]], he made an impassioned plea to be allowed to return to his hometown, and his request was granted; a month later he returned to Kairsan with his only surviving daughter Eduna. While living in Kairsan, he retired from most politics, and twice rejected calls from the local leaders to serve within the provincial government; he did, however, push for the marriage of his daughter with the son of the provincial governor, who belonged to one of the most influential clans in the area. This marriage arrangement, as well as the fact that the Queen had personally arranged for him to receive half his official stipend even after he had retired, meant he was financially quite comfortable; certainly he had the luxury to make several tours to the east, the longest of which in 1592 took him all the way to modern-day eastern [[Hyomeniga]] province. ==Works== Hirdan Gersenga's poetry is mostly admired for its wide variety of forms and themes; critics over the ages have called him as ''Sabarus ta enigai, Aina ta munai, Nidui ta gebarse, Suninas ta iyane, shai ge onevano'' ("Possessing the spirit of [[Dengai ke Sabarus|Sabarus]], the sorrow of [[Nonezari Aina|Aina]], the ambition of [[Tebegas ke Nidui|Nidui]], and the lightness of [[Suninas]]"). ==Legacy and Impact== The birthtown of Gersenga, which is the present day town of [[Kairsan]] in [[Ofalna Province]], contains several memorials to the poet.

As of 2045 it has a population of 27,951. ==Geography== Kairsan occupies a small, forested mountain valley near the coast of [[Enibase Bay]], and follows the shape of the valley northeast to southwest; the older districts of the city are more inland, while the lands to the southwest which used to be for agricultural purposes have been expanded into since the late 18th and early 19th centuries. ==History== ==Fame== The town is most famed as having housed Gersenga at many points during his life; born and raised there, he left the town for the city of [[Isana]] at age 20; 24 years later, at the age of 44 and after his retirement from the [[Risevan Assembly]], he returned to the town where he would live out the rest of his years in a house a short distance away. The poet wrote most of his poetic works in Isana, but turned instead to essays upon returning to Kairsan; for this the scenery around Kairsan is sometimes called "the most described land of Risevne", given the content of the essays which largely focused on the natural beauty of the region. Many memorials to the writer exist, including the three houses he had lived in as well as his grave in a nearby temple; Gersenga's residence on the outskirts of the city, where he spent the last three decades of his life, is presently home to the [[Gersenga Museum]]. At the same time, the [[Gersenga Institute]] is a research institute meant to promote knowledge of, and research into, the works of Gersenga as well as his contemporaries. The international fame of the writer means that the town is not just a local but an international attraction, though strict laws controlling new construction and land use has managed to keep the town much as it was in the early 19th century when the last round of major constructions occurred.

They had fought alongside the Artamashti soldiers and had caused grave casualties to the Daryamenean line, being able to shoot down thousands with their strong bows. However due to the inadequacy of the Artamashti generals, these Parthavan horse archers were foolishly sent in to a charge once their ammunition had been used up, and here they were killed easily. Daryamenes had also had problems with sending any supplies up to the north-east. In 123 BI, he had tried to send a caravan full of gifts to the [[Metaksour]] leaders for aiding him in his campaign against the Artamashtis. However, the Parthavans had plundered the train and had taken everything. In 122 BI, Daryamenes went up north to try consolidate his power in the north-east of his empire by wiping out the Parthavans who had been causing him trouble. However, an efficient messenger chain informed the Parthavan leader, [[Aryane]], that Daryamenes was coming, and what route he was taking. Quickly, she amassed an army consisting almost entirely of horse archers and lay in wait for the Daryameneans to come. ==The battle== Alvesod 3063 15497 2006-11-14T04:23:45Z Sirica 257 '''Alvesod''' is a town in northeastern [[Neiberin Province]].

The capital of the department is the town of [[Fanedun]], on [[Garmagas Island]]. ==Geography and Climate== Geographically the southern department covers the largest area of the three island departments, and also has the most islands - a total of nearly 1,750 across the [[Elaspegian Ocean]] south of the [[Risevan Home Islands]], of which around 520 are permanently inhabited. This department comprises several large island groups, as well as many small and mostly uninhabited atolls scattered across the southwestern Elaspegian. Some of the prominent groups include: *[[Tigase Islands]], a group of about 70 islands the largest of which is [[Tigase Island]] *[[Onu Islands]], a vast arc of nearly 400 islands centred around the 3 main isles of [[Meseso]], [[Linisurna]] and [[Kadisurna]]. *[[Higeric Islands]], a group of around 330 islands and the southernmost Risevan island group, which contains [[Anorsobalye Island]] (literally meaning Naval Base of Anorso), a major southern naval base for the [[Risevan Royal Navy]]. Many of the islands experience a tropical or subtropical climate, with a yearly storm season especially prevalent in the islands to the west of the department; the same storms that strike the area as minor storms tend to strike the Home Islands or other northerly areas as major hurricanes, thus making it of special interest to Risevan meteorlogists. Several met stations have been set up in the region. ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== The Southern Islands are ethnically the most diverse region of Risevne, owing to the native populations: the Risevan Government classifies the island's ethnicities into 6 main groups according to the regions of inhabitation: [[Tigasani]], [[Onuyani]], [[Hemsarani]], [[Sekunbani]], [[Higerizani]] and [[Maksani]]. All six of these have similar but distinct cultures.

Throughout its history the [[Lein Dynasty]] has received several territorial appellations. In its original form as founded by [[Tairazun Durun berHikas ne-i-Lein|Tairazun Durun]], the massive reshuffling of territories in order to better centralise administrative power ended up with the division known as the Twelve Provinces, and this definition of provincial borders would remain relatively constant throughout the first part of the Lein Dynasty. The reign of [[Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein|Tairazun Sora]], however, would bring about huge changes. As the Imperial armies marched northeast and northwest, bringing the group of powerful kingdoms that had threatened the Tranon for so long under the sway of the Empire, the Imperial Court accordingly made adjustments and imposed laws designed to increase its control over these potentially dangerous entities. Borders were placed disruptively, while travel was restricted, and in this way an additional nine provinces were formed, such that by the end of his reign in [[Tranon Calendars|Lein 177]] the Empire was known as the '''Twenty-one Provinces'''.

While the main historical sources of many worldwide civilisations which existed at the time do point to major upheavals in climate which fit the pattern of a huge volcanic eruption, several of the more reliable samples used for dating reveal that the eruption's effects were in fact felt in many areas, including [[Soreno]], [[Akezurnam]] and [[Koreta]], from around 10 BDN onwards. [[category:Catastrophic Events]] [[category:Valmante]] Classical Arithide grammar 3074 51970 2010-02-20T23:34:11Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Verbs */ The '''grammar of Classical Arithide''' is characterised by a degree of inflection unseen in most modern tongues, and notably absent from its own [[Modern Arithide|modern descendant]]. Due to this inflectionary tendency, [[Classical Arithide]] possesses considerably free word order, especially in poetry, but syntax commonly and usually retains the traditional order of Subject Object Verb. Classical Arithide is a topic-prominent language, left-branching, prepositional (on the rare occasions where prepositions are employed), verb-framed, pro-drop and lexically-classed; it does not use articles. While some of these characteristics, such as its pro-drop and genderless character, simplify the learning process, the task is invariably complicated by the complexity of the language's inflection. The [[Classical Arithide]] inflection system involves 5 declension classes of nouns, each inflected for 11 cases and two numbers; two classes of verbs, each conjugated in five voices, three aspects, five derivative aspects, seven moods and one tense, and which each produce an assortment of various derivative forms; two classes of adjectives, the nominal behaving like regular nouns, and the verbal behaving like regular verbs; adverbs, the most common of which are generally indeclinable but most of which are derivations of adjectives and hence declined as per their class. Such ambivalence in the language's adjectives and adverbs led classical scholars and grammarians to overlay a dichotomous Nominal-Verbal differentiation on the language; in modern times, however, this [[traditional Arithide grammar]] has been replaced by a semantically-based part-of-speech grammar system not unlike the Indo-European. ==Nouns== {{main|Classical Arithide declension}} The use in [[Classical Arithide]] of lexical classing in nouns means that each declension class represents a broad group of nouns that share a certain characteristic. Owing to the language's inflectionary nature, Classical Arithide nouns, pronouns and certain of its adjectives must be declined (i.e. inflected) to provide grammatical meaning. A group of words that decline in the same way is known as a "declension class". There are 5 declension classes for nouns and the same for adjectives; pronouns are generally irregular. Nouns in [[Classical Arithide]] are classed into different declensions based on their semantic meaning. This lexically based categorisation means that each declension class represents a broad group of nouns that share a certain characteristic. Traditional grammatical analysis takes the number of declension classes in Classical Arithide to be five, on top of which are various subgroups that decline in slightly different ways from the parent class. '''Declension I''', with the characteristic nominative singular ending ''-os'', is the most productive declension class of all. It is associated with morally and emotionally neutral abstractions: states (''valonos'' "peace"), qualities (''fyginthos'' "dangerousness"), acts (''leatos'' "act of worship") as well as other types of concepts (''sonos'' "daily life"). As may be noted the supine verbal noun (i.e. "the act of doing something") also falls under this declension. '''Declension II''' nouns take the ending ''-as'' and refer to places: ''kitaras'' "hall", ''sivas'' "town", ''leatas'' "place of worship. The verbal noun of location (i.e. "the place where something is done") falls under declension II. '''Declension III''' nouns take the ending ''-ir'', and can be differentiated into classes III-a with simple ''-ir'', and III-b with ''-rir''. This declension comprises nouns with negative moral or emotional denotations or connotations: ''vokir'' "evil", ''kirir'' "faux pas", ''kreisantir'' "grief of bereavement". '''Declension IV''' is the most general declension class. Its nouns have no characteristic nominative singular ending but instead shares it with declension V (''-a''), and its lexical scope is practically unlimited; Class-IV nouns can refer to items, animals, plants or any other non-human, non-divine object. E.g. ''arotha'' "carpet", ''hegra'' "vine", ''izia'' "coin". '''Declension V''' comprises nouns referring to the human, the divine or the socio-cultural aspect of life: ''thelera'' "neighbour", ''venera'' "deity", ''kunera'' "currency". Complex historical reasons have given Class V nouns the double nominative ending of ''-era'', the final part of which (''-a'') is shared with Class IV. There is a subgroup, V-b, whose nominative singulars end in ''-on'' but otherwise decline identically with regular Class-V nouns: these are the special agentive nouns (see next section), generally formed from verbs but occasionally found fossilised elsewhere in words belonging to other parts of speech. These five declension classes can be broadly classified into two categories: concrete nouns (IV, V) and abstract nouns (I, II, III). The 11 noun cases of Classical Arithide are: *'''Nominative''', which marks the subject of a verb *'''Topical''', which marks the topic of a sentence *'''Accusative''', which marks the object of a verb *'''Genitive''', which marks possession by *'''Dative''', which marks motion towards, and by extension benefaction to etc. *'''Locative''', which marks location (with places) or indicates shift of grammatical focus (with objects and people) *'''Ablative''', which marks motion away or existence apart, and by extension is used with prepositions such as ''parō'' "about, regarding" or ''etel'' "by (agentive)" *'''Instrumental''', which marks instruments, and by extension accompaniment, using the preposition ''syn'' "with" *'''Vocative''', which marks direct address *'''Connective''', which is an open-ended stem form to which certain affixes or other nouns are appended, e.g. ''salumos'' "heaven" + ''innos'' "top" > ''saluminnum'' "in heaven" (lit. "on heaven"; ''innos'' is in the locative) and ''allas'' "city" + ''dolō'' "around" (from ''dolos'' "surroundings") > ''alladolō'' "around the city" {{footnote|1}} *'''Essive''', which marks existence as {{footnote|1}} ''Alladolō'' (connective + appendent [[Classical Arithide adpositions|adposition]]) must be distinguished from the similar ''dolō allior'' (prep. + ablative); while both might be translated as "around the city", the former refers to the areas outside and surrounding a certain city, while the latter refers to places all around within the city: ''alladolō siethē sena'' "there are flowers around the city" vs. ''dolō allior siethē sena'' "there are flowers all about the city". Of these cases, the connective and essive in all nouns are identical, resulting in 10 effective cases. ==Adpositions== {{main|Classical Arithide adpositions}} Due to the extensive inflectionary marking in [[Classical Arithide]], the number of adpositions in common use is very few, although for purposes of scansion, some archaic ones can still be seen in poetry, sometimes in redundancy; the adpositions were revived, however, in [[Modern Arithide]], as postpositions. Most adpositions govern a designated case or several designated cases; the latter situation indicates multiple, usually related, meanings canvassed under the adposition concerned. Besides the standalone adpositions, more common are the appendent adpositions (or postpositions), so called because they are appended to the connective case of nouns, most of the time forming a separate noun on their own, carrying a specific positional or lative meaning. ==Verbs== {{main|Classical Arithide conjugation}} Classical Arithide verbs are divided into eight conjugation patterns based on whether their stems end in any of the six vowels or a consonant; a small group of consonant-stem verbs that take the vowel-stem verb endings make up the last, mixed conjugation. Verbs in each class are conjugated for five voices, three basic aspects, four derivative aspects, seven moods and one tense: *'''Voices:''' active/transitive, middle/intransitive, passive, causative, potentive *'''Aspects:''' imperfective, perfective, perfect, habitual/generic, inceptive, frequentative, protractive *'''Moods:''' indicative, subjunctive, optative/desiderative, jussive, imperative, cohortative, [[Classical Arithide conjugation#Negation|negative]] (also the interrogative) *'''Tenses:''' future Notes: #There is no progressive/continuous tense as the tense overlaps semantically with the imperfective aspect, which is used instead. #The interrogative mood is marked with the auxiliary particle ''da''. #Verbs are conjugated on a cascading hierarchy as above, i.e. to the root form of the verb would first be appended affixes indicating voice, followed by aspect, then mood and subsequently tense. Verbs can also form a large array of other derivatives, which can turn the verb into practically any part of speech: adjective and adverb, via the aspectual participles; noun, via various suffixes indicating agency, instrument or the supine, etc.; another verb, via the processes of compounding, modification etc. ==Adjectives== {{main|Classical Arithide adjectives}} [[Classical Arithide]] had two classes of word, of roughly equal ubiquity, that qualified as adjectives: the '''nominal adjectives''' and the '''verbal adjectives''', which, as their names indicate, either decline as do nouns, or conjugate as do verbs. ===Nominal class=== The nominal class of adjectives, as befits its name, behaves like nouns. Each adjective has a fixed declension class according to which it is declined for case and number; certain are of a variable declension class, i.e. they adopt the declension class of the particular noun they are modifying at the time, and decline accordingly. The nominal class adjectives are listed in dictionaries by their nominative singular, the variable-declension adjectives in the first declension nominative singular. Many adjectives in the nominal class tend to be concerned with appearance, e.g. ''oluros'' "ugly, out-of-shape", ''vobulos'' "pitch-dark", ''nassos'' "deepest, ulterior, core". Exceptions include all the adjectives of colour, which are morphologically derived from the names of the individual colours by affixing the general-purpose adjectivaliser ''-nai'', and are hence verbal in nature. Nominal-class adjectives, when used predicatively, usually take the copula ''hē''; in certain not-very-common cases, the adjective suffixes ''-nai''. ===Verbal class=== The predicative use of such verbs as adjectives is expected, but the attributive use grew out of a grammatical device, now largely disused, of making verbs into modifiers by displacing them to the front of nouns rather than behind them, as is the usual SOV order. Verbal-class or verbal adjectives, owing to their nature as stative verbs, behave like verbs, and may thus conjugate in two tenses, present and past, denoting the present and past states of the noun modified: *''Viringa nissa.'' vs. ''Viringa nistēn.''<br>The car (sedan) is fast. ''vs.'' The car was fast. *''Nīstena viringa'' vs. ''Nistena viringa''<br>The fast car ''vs.'' The car that was fast (i.e. used to be but no longer) The future tense is not used with adjectives. Rather, to describe "a car that will be black", the adjective is compounded with the verb ''hallān'' "to become", which semi-cliticises to give ''-allān'', giving ''egnallī viringa'', for example. When attributively used, all adjectives are, like nouns, declined, in order to avoid ambiguity arising from the liberal word order of the language; adjectives take the declension of the noun they modify. ==Adverbs== ===Invariable adverbs=== As with every language, there are certain adverbs that are always invariable, e.g. ''lum'' "now". ==Determiners & pro-forms== {{main|Classical Arithide determiners}} {{main|Classical Arithide pro-forms}} Classical Arithide determiners and pro-forms can be separated into two distinct types: the declined and the indeclinable. To the former group belong words with declinable antecedents: personal pronouns (''des'' "I"), demonstrative pronouns (''sitetis'' "with that"), relative pronouns (''zōos'' "that which"), pro-adjectives, pro-sentences, as well as interrogative words (''andae'' "to whom"). To the latter group belong words with indeclinable antecedents: pro-verbs (which are verbs and hence conjugated instead), pro-adverbs (''sē'' "like that") and demonstrative adjectives (''ok ither'' "this person"). Of these, demonstrative adjectives are always placed directly before their referents. ===Numerals & measure words=== {{main|Classical Arithide numerals}} ==See also== *[[Classical Arithide]] *[[Classical Arithide declension]] *[[Classical Arithide conjugation]] *[[Classical Arithide adjectives]] *[[Classical Arithide adverbs]] *[[Classical Arithide pro-forms]] *[[Classical Arithide determiners]] *[[Classical Arithide adpositions]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arithide]] Template:Paramtest 3076 16411 2006-11-22T15:13:10Z Melroch 31 More experiments <table class="gridtable" border="1" cellspacing="0"> {{ #ifeq: {{{caption|}}} | 0 | | <caption>Coronal stops</caption> }} <tr style="font-size: xx-small; text-align: center;"> <th>Dental</th> <th>Alveolar</th> <th>Postalveolar</th> </tr> <tr style="text-align: center;"> {{ #if: {{{t_d|}}} | <!-- t_d is defined --> {{ #if: {{{t_-|}}} | <!-- t_- is defined --> <td>{{{t_d|}}}</td> <td>{{{t|}}}</td> <td>{{{t_-|}}}</td> | <!-- t_- is not defined --> <td>{{{t_d|}}}</td> <td colspan="2">{{{t|}}}</td> }} | <!-- t_d is not defined --> {{ #if: {{{t_-|}}} | <!-- t_- is defined --> <td colspan="2">{{{t|}}}</td> <td>{{{t_-|}}}</td> | <!-- t_- is not defined --> <td colspan="3">{{{t|}}}</td> }} }} </tr> </table> Koreno 3077 15526 2006-11-14T14:54:02Z Sirica 257 '''Koreno''' is one of the continents in the world of [[Valmante]], stretching from east to west so it is bounded by several oceans: the [[Elaspegian Ocean]] in the west, the [[Esrilmian Ocean]] on the southwest, the [[Userilmian Ocean]] on the southeast and east, and the [[Karvan Ocean]] to the north.

It is one of the three successor organizations to the extinct [[Global Federation of States]], the other organizations being the [[League of Democratic Nations]] and the small [[Union of Neutral States]]. == Membership == Membership in the ICG is (theoretically) open to any sovereign state that meets certain requirements. First, the nation must be "fully civilized" (which is not clearly defined in the ICG Charter). It must have democratic representation in its government, and follow the Rule of Law. The nation must "respect the sovereignty of other nations", and renounce conquest and aggressive war. In practice, those two requirements are easily ignored. == Structure == The ICG consists of several bodies. There is an Executive Council which is made up of representatives from the heads of state of the largest nations (changes in the composition require unanimous consent of the current members). Then there is a General Council of Governments, which consists of representatives chosen by the governments of all of the member-states. Finally, there are a number of bureaucratic bodies, including the powerful [[Council for the Interpretation of Treaties]], often referred to as simply the Treaty Council. == Powers == Although the General Council and Executive Council have a number of important powers, increasingly, the most important power of the ICG is the Treaty Council. The Treaty Council is responsible for arbitrating disputes over the interpretation of international treaties, and for mediating treaty negotiations. Most of the "laws" of the ICG consist of multilateral treaties. In theory, any nation can exempt itself from a treaty, but in practice, most treaties that have been ratified by a significant proportion of member-states spread to the remaining holdouts (and even if they don't ratify it, a general principle has arisen that a widely-ratified treaty can be extended to *all* members of the ICG) [[Category:Galhaf]] Global Federation of States 3090 48645 2009-08-28T04:27:30Z Christina 18 /* Structure */ The '''Global Federation of States''' was an attempt at establishing an international government. It was similar to Earth's [[Wikipedia:League of Nations|League of Nations]]. It was formed in the year 705 after the [[War of Kalpanian Reunification]]. Membership was open to all sovereign nations. The Federation was weak, depending on member-states to enforce its resolutions. == Structure == The Federation consisted of a Grand Council of States, in which every member-state had one vote. The Council elected a President of the Federation. == End == Although the Federation had some minor successes, by the mid-8th century it had become increasingly irrelevant. Its utter failure to prevent the [[Global War]] sealed its fate. Following the peace treaties ending that war, debates on reformation began. The various nations quickly settled into two camps, largely the same as the two sides in the War. In 763, the [[League of Democratic Nations]] was established, and the following year, the [[International Council of Governments]] was formed, both claiming to be the legitimate successor of the GFS. A few nations remained in the GFS, vainly hoping to reunite the two sides in a reformed GFS. Several reforms were proposed, but none gained the interest of the rival supranational organization. In 773, the remnants of the GFS voted to dissolve itself, and formed a new [[Union of Neutral States]].

Each district is subdivided further into ''zones'', each one consisting of a town or major village and surrounding countryside. The cities are divided in various ways depending on their size.

The Rushalya Elegies cycle of novels continued the 19th century trend in [[Mirselec literature]] of the "Great Novel", being vast in both scope and depth; long discussions of philosophy and social issues, as well as extensive quoting and composition of poetry in both ancient and modern form, are woven into the text, and the social norms and ceremonies of 19th century Risevan royalty are painstakingly reproduced. A detailed count has concluded that nearly 520 named characters populate the series, which contains nearly 2.2 million words in Mirselec. [[category:Mirselec literature]] Ibakizaro 3093 15643 2006-11-16T13:44:49Z Sirica 257 The '''Ibakizaro''', meaning "advancement" in Mirselec, is often used by [[Risevan]] historians to denote a period between the 1830s to the 1870s during which Risevne underwent massive social and cultural change as it opened up to the modern world and began a campaign of industrialisation and national strengthening. Other terms for the period include ''Larmi Nisor ta Kortagan'' (literally "The reign of the three kings Nisor"), since the period is covered by the reign of [[King Nisor III]] (1827 - 1844), [[King Nisor IV]] (1844 - 1866), and [[King Nisor V]] (1866 - 1892]]. ==Background== ==The Advancement Movement== ==The New Laws== ==Industrialisation and Diplomacy== ==The First Global War== ==Impacts and Effects== The impacts of the Ibakizaro on Risevan society are both immense in depth and very widespread. Rapid industrialisation turned the country into an industrial power on par with some of the most powerful nations in the world at the time, but also put immense strain on society and its structures.

It is located on [[Masalne]], at the southern tip of the [[Raretoya Peninsula]]. The capital of the province is the ancient city of [[Nesnoma]]. A famous historic region of the country, the province was home to the powerful [[Kingdom of Rarena]], which extended up the entire peninsula and lasted nearly 600 years before its personal union with the [[Kingdom of Masal]] in 1249. Despite the union, however, the area is known for its being a rather independent region of the old kingdom, and even now there is a clear cultural and dialectal divide between provinces like Ostema and provinces farther north in the [[Feladmena Plain]]. ==Geography== Ostema province occupies the tip of a peninsula, and therefore faces the sea on three sides; to its west a hilly "neck" connects it with the provinces of Eonis and Inezama. It is mostly relatively flat, with the notable exception of the western hills and the high cliffs to the far east; [[Gelargulma]], a series of wind-eroded cliffs and a famous tourist spot, is commonly taken as the southeastern end of Masalne. At the same time, natural harbours on both the north and south of the island have given rise to some of the most important commercial cities in ancient Risevne, which even in modern days are prosperous ports. The Ostema Province, situated at the end of the Raretoya Peninsula, has a long coastline which, coupled with its relatively narrow link with the rest of Masalne, makes it a highly strategic position on the island; while easy to invest from the sea, it was very hard to attack from land. This distinctive geography has manifested itself in the similarly distinct culture of the province, a culture that has in turn influenced areas farther west and north. ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== The province is divided into four prefectures, or Kine, and 11 counties, or Wasa. *[[Hinerare Prefecture]]: **[[Nitada County]] **[[Biside County]] **[[Lyoza County]] *[[Erisaromac Prefecture]]: **[[Erisaromac City]] **[[Nesnoma City]] **[[Nimegouna County]] **[[Hekidunen County]] *[[Asomyure Prefecture]]: **[[Inokau County]] **[[Diredini County]] *[[Ligul Prefecture]]: **[[Hanose City]] **[[Sherostona County]] ==Towns and Cities== *[[Nesnoma]], the provincial capital *[[Erisaromac]], the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Rarena and now a major port ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Ledorin Kinides 3097 15655 2006-11-16T15:51:33Z Sirica 257 '''Ledorin Kinides, Borsan ta Temoni''' (12 October, 1741 - 9 Nov, 1823) was a [[Risevan]] writer, widely viewed by Risevani as one of the most influential Mirselec prose writers. Working exclusively in prose unlike many of his contemporaries, most of whom also wrote poetry, he instead devoted himself to the creation of works he later called ''Mato te Sansarme'', or "Great Stories" - prose works, making use of mostly vernacular and even colloquial Mirselec, which captured the society of the day while containing extensive philosophical and moral musings. ==Major Works== *[[Sanaiza]] (Sanaiza), 1783 *[[Hotoriya ta Maya]] (The women of Hotoriya), 1790 [[category:Mirselec literature]] [[category:Risevani poets and writers]] Eonis Province 3098 15755 2006-11-19T06:12:04Z Sirica 257 '''Eonis Province''' (Mirselec ''Eonis denai'') is one of the [[subdivisions of Risevne|provinces]] of [[Risevne]], designated as Province 2 under the numbering system. It is situated on the west of the [[Raretoya Peninsula]], bordering [[Ostema Province]] on its south, [[Inezama Province]] on its southwest, and [[Feladmena Province]] on its west. Its capital is the city of [[Tanersain]]. An important and prosperous province since centuries past by virtue of its deep natural harbours and well-known ports, Eonis Province in modern days remains an important area for trading, as well as an area steeped in history and culture. During the time of the [[Committee of Guardians]], the port of Tanersain was one of the few which remained open to foreigners, and the city remains one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Risevne, though its old districts remain those of a typical Risevan city. ==Geography== ==History== During the warring ages of the first millenia DN, Eonis Province was to change hands many times. First occupied by several city states, it was eventually mostly conquered by the [[Kingdom of Rarena]], based in Ostema province to the south; the Rarenani gave the area the name ''Sorisai denai'', meaning "pleasant province", an appellation that is still often used within the province. ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Four Famous Castles of Risevne 3099 15697 2006-11-17T06:07:02Z Sirica 257 The '''Four Famous Castles of Risevne''' (Mirselec ''Risevne se kerte Hinainoye'') refer to four major castles in Risevne; the first, and most often referenced list, includes: *[[Garnoye]] in [[Isana]] *[[Shezinas|Shezinasnoye]] in [[Hyomeniga Province]] *[[Mozavalnoye]] in [[Inezama Province]] *[[Orosantenoye]] in [[Hisani Province]]. This initial list is popularly said to have first appeared in a poem by the great writer [[Hirdan Gersenga]]; however there have been references to these fortresses as a group since several decades before Gersenga. Since the list contains mainly fortresses in the south of Risevne, some other new lists of castles, for example the [[Six Famous Castles of North Masalne]], were made in more recent years. [[category:Risevan culture]] [[category:Risevne]] [[category:Castles of Risevne]] Mozavalnoye 3100 15699 2006-11-17T06:29:52Z Sirica 257 '''Mozavalnoye''', literally Mozaval Fortress in [[Mirselec]], is a fortress near the city of [[Mozaval]] in [[Inezama Province]]. It is one of the [[Four Famous Castles of Risevne]], and of the four it is the one most fought over in the history of the kingdom. Situated as it is on the frontline of the three-century conflict between the kingdoms of [[Masal]] and [[Rarena]], just around 31 kilometres south of the border, it was besieged five times without ever being taken between 1072 and 1203 DN. for this the castle was known in the southern provinces, as it still is today, as ''Naino su Izakarte Noye'', or the "First City in the World" (First here denoting it as the strongest). ==History== ===Origins and First Construction=== ===Prince Betire's Fort=== ===The Sieges=== ===Union and Post-Union=== ===The Era of the Guardians=== ===Restoration and the 1829 Siege=== ===War Years=== ==Geography and Design== ==Present Situation== ==Cultural Impact== The Mozavalnoye is often said to be the spiritual symbol of the southern provinces, which even today are culturally distinct from the more populated areas in the north; for its historical role during the time of the Committee of the Guardians, also, it has gained a lasting place in the Risevan psyche. A famous Mirselec saying, "To Stand like the East Wall" (meaning to hold out against overwhelming odds), refers to this fort. During the [[Fourth Siege of Mozavalnoye]] in 1186-1188, the Masal general [[Barin ke Bisore]] successfully undermined the east wall of the fortress in three places during the winter of 1187, and positioned 20,000 of his troops ready to strike there; the defenders of the castle, however, quickly rallied, and their general [[Nemus ke Duvansiye]] refused a surrender offer saying that "If the stones should fall, then my flesh will make the wall". The 7,500 defenders mounted a desperate defence against the attacking Masalan forces that lasted 19 days until, deterred by a blizzard, Barin ke Bisore withdrew his troops, allowing precious time for the damage to be repaired. This statement was in turn used extensively during the [[Third Global War|Third]] and [[Fourth Global War]]s to reflect the determination of the Risevani to defend their nation.

It is one of the [[Four Famous Castles of Risevne]], and owing to the highly different cultural and political situation of the region from the kingdoms of [[Masalne]] it is easily one of the most distinctive. Besides its own construction the fortress is also famous for the large groves of [[Soriseta]] trees which grow to its west and north, covering the cliffs on which the fortress is set; during mid summer the blooming of the flowers, and the subsequent shedding which leaves the cliffs a deep violet through early autumn, gives it the moniker of ''Brelkasurenoye'', or "Violet Hill Fortress".

The river is therefore frequently visited by photographers and artists all year round; in recent years, as tourism and growth turns Manteibase into a bustling settlement, the artists have in turn moved out to other smaller villages for greater seclusion.

Some such compilations included the [[Harnur ta Furasa]], which is estimated to have been compiled around 430 DN by commission of the King of [[Kingdom of Durosmao|Durosmao]] and is the oldest intact poetic compilation in Mirselec. Many of these works were in turn incorporated into the [[Sayenfurasa]], a grand compilation of poems commissioned by the king of [[Kingdom of Masal|Masal]]. ==Prose== ==Drama== [[category:Risevan culture]] Ngaba Province 3105 15710 2006-11-17T08:30:15Z Sirica 257 '''Ngaba Province''' (Mirselec ''Ngaba denai''), also known as Province 5, is a [[subdivisions of Risevne|province]] of [[Risevne]], situated to the northwest of [[Feladmena Province]]. Its capital is the city of [[Koronai]]. ==Geography== Ngaba Province occupies a highly strategic position where the spur of mountains stretching westwards across the [[Feladmena Plain]] nearly meets the coast; since ancient history the area has been a primary point of contention for many regimes seeking to dominate the entire plain by holding this valuable chokepoint. Many towns along the north-south routes grew rich during times of peace and trade between the northern kingdoms and the south; with this wealth these towns tended to fortify themselves, so as to prepare against attacks from either quarter, and as a result many of the cities even now retain their city walls and gatehouses. ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Koronai]] *[[Heinaskure]] ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Inezama Province 3106 16982 2006-12-03T11:12:16Z Sirica 257 /* Towns and Cities */ '''Inezama Province''' (Mirselec ''Inezama denai''), also known as Province 3, is a [[subdivisions of Risevne|province]] of Risevne, situated in the south of [[Masalne]] along the northern coast of the [[Raretoya Peninsula]]. It borders [[Ostema Province]] on its east, [[Eonis Province]] on its south, and [[Feladmena Province]] on its north and northwest. Its capital is the city of [[Hesurimon]]. Well-watered, with a mild climate, Inezama was historically known as a pleasant spot for vacations and relaxation, and a centre of culture and the arts; it acquired the poetic title of ''Nultenizodenai'', or "Many-Gardened Province", during those days. Nowadays many cities within the province retain their ancient, literary air, and the province retains its reputation as a centre of traditional culture, though recently high tech research industries, attracted by the proximity to [[Taluste]], are also making a considerable economic and social impact. ==Geography== ==History== During the early centuries DN, Inezama Province once formed the base for an ancient state which was then conquered, in 455 DN, by the neighbouring [[Kingdom of Rarena]] based in nearby Ostema province. According to the [[Rarena ta Keinoser]], or Chronicles of Rarena, the lord of the local state surrendered his estate untouched, and without fighting, going so far as to constrain two thousand troops of his within the city to prevent them from going out to fight; when the king asked him why, he said he had wished to protect the people from war. Admiringly the King decided simply to exert nominal power over the province, retaining the lord at his post; more importantly he declared that that land was under Rarenan protection, but not subject to the direct law of the King of Rarena. It was this law that would later allow many poets and writers, convicted for trumped up charges or fleeing from persecution, to seek refuge in the area. ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Hesurimon]] *[[Zataeba]] *[[Kandisel, Inezama Province|Kandisel]] ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Semanos 3107 19480 2007-02-21T14:57:25Z Denihilonihil 119 '''Semanos''' ({{IPA|['semanɔs]}}; lit.

[[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] Vushtism 3113 16495 2006-11-24T04:51:34Z Christina 18 Vushtism is a religion and set of philosophies that is followed by the majority of western and central Aghantians. ==Origins== Vushtism was founded by the prophet [[Meryem Helyeni]] in the early [[Artakhshandan Empire]] in [[Parthava]]. The life of the prophet have not been documented at all, and the few things we know about her have been passed down through verbal tradition. It is claimed by Vushtis that Meryem recieved an arrow wound in a battle between the Padhavana clan and the Terthinatos clan on the steppe at the age of 14. When she was later taken to a hospital, she fell into a trance. On awakening, her friends noticed that her entire personality had changed - she had become much more peaceful, honest, and calm. Vushtin recorded her philosophies in a book called the [[Madayahura]]. The first copy of this book was carved into the side of [[Takh-e-Kasran]], in modern day [[Parthava city]]. This is the master copy with which all other copies are compared with, and is preserved now by the Parizhian government. ===Further philosophers of Vushtism=== Pure Vushtism is that which was laid down by Meryem herself. A majority of Vushtis identify themselves as pure Vushtis. However, between the 1st and 19th Centuries AI, several other philosophers added to the philosophies laid down by Meryem. There were 3 main ones: ==Philosophies of Vushtism== Vushtism is interesting and different from other religions in that it contains absolutely no mention or philosophies about god, prophecies, or any forms of mythology or stories. The Madayahura is simply a book of philosophy and instructions. Among these are the ''Mehre fiil'' or, the Important Principles. These are: * Speaking good words, thinking good thoughts, and doing good deeds. * Equality of gender, race, religion, and age. * Protection for the environment * Kindness to animals and other people * Encouragement for keeping the body clean * Encouragement for science and learning * Open-mindedness and tolerance * Pacifism and calmness (in state of mind as well as physically) Key to Vushtism (and probably its unique concept) is its system of prayer. Here, prayer does not necessarily involve worshipping a deity - other forms, such as meditation and calming, are generally considered much more important than connecting with deities. To acquire a trance, one must keep their mind focused on nothing. They should have nothing in their thoughts. At first, it helps to listen to one's own breathing or concentrate on peaceful sounds. Several Vushtis engage in throat-singing chants whilst doing this, as the vibrations in the back of the throat create a calming sensation. It is partly because of this that Vushtism is compatible with many other religions.

The Arithian parliament passed a motion to impose a trade embargo on the members of the Cordial Alliance, and in the subsequent weeks rallied a considerable number of other countries to join in the effort. At the same time, while, by law, the army could not be fully mobilised without an express declaration of war and the consent of parliament, the Arithian army sent part of its rotational always-on forces to the Zesovian capital, [[Andirs]], as an overt warning to potential belligerents. ===Blockade of the Issol A'i=== The most major of the actions was the closure of the [[Issol A'i]] to ships, military or otherwise, belonging to, registered in or flying the flags of the states party to the Alliance, beginning on [[Athebian calendar|Dynisis]] 9. This blockade lasted for almost 11 months, during which the Arithian navy sank 29 merchant ships, as well as 5 military vessels of the Alliance in three separate naval battles, although the politicians of neither side made any move to formalise or suppress hostilities throughout the entirety of the blockade. The first of these battles took place in [[Athebian calendar|Helakis]] 16, more than a month after the beginning of the blockade. The battle, known by some as the '''First Battle of the Strait''', stemmed from the sinking by the Arithian navy over the previous month of various Alliance civilian vessels that had attempted to pass the Strait from the [[Denurean Sea]] using forged [[Ecyria]]n passports and documents, and that had further attempted to force their way past the Coast Guard when their trick was exposed. A total of 8 cargo ships had been sunk, and a passenger cruiser (the ''[[Okurant]]'') detained, which caused much consternation in Alliance political circles, and the ''Okurant'' became the subject of much media debate for more than a week, before she was eventually released, "out of goodwill" (Arithian Prime Minister [[Jedes Mithakoris]]), on condition that she turn back to [[Sarbassy]] through the Denurean. The passengers had previously been deported to Sarbassy under military detention. On the day of the battle, a Sarbassian destroyer, flanked by two cruisers, tried to pass off as friendly [[Ritavia]]n vessels on the way to [[Zesou]], and, upon being discovered, promptly fired two torpedoes at passing cargo vessels, sinking one genuinely Ritavian ship and severely damaging the other, Arithian one. The ensuing gun battle killed 36 sailors on both sides, damaging an Arithian frigate and prompting the navy to deploy a submarine to the effort, which ultimately sank the offending destroyer through, according to official sources, a misaimed torpedo which missed the main body of the destroyer but ripped the hull lengthwise before exploding. Eyewitness accounts confirm that the two flanking cruisers fled from the scene after the destroyer was sunk. The '''Second Battle of the Strait''' took place again on the [[Denurean Sea]], this time involving a spyboat from the [[Aphyschelles]], which was discovered 61km off the east [[Calagia]]n coast at [[Time on Ilethes|35:30]] (approx. 2:10pm Earth-equivalent) on [[Athebian calendar|Nēbes]] 4, and ordered to halt. Arithian military reports filed indicate that the spyboat had refused to stop and surrender when ordered to, but instead turned to flee, and sporadically fired at the pursuing Arithian Coast Guard, which retaliated and sunk the intruding boat. Arithia broke off diplomatic relations with the Aphyschelles, and the other members of the [[Pisex Alliance]] followed suit within days. Arithian Foreign Minister [[Katrosta Ipsīes]] warned at the press conference announcing the recall of the Arithian envoy to [[Carges]] that any subsequent "hostile action" would trigger "massive retaliation". The ''Third Battle of the Strait'' -- The blockade, like the rest of the punitive motions, was lifted with the conclusion of the [[Meroclean Treaty]] on [[Athebian calendar|Meroklis]] 23, and modern historians estimate the cost to the Alliance members to have been between 4 and 7% of GDP. ==Cessation of hostilities & the Meroclean Treaty== {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] First Kasshi Empire 3117 16637 2006-11-26T05:59:07Z Christina 18 The so-called '''First Kasshi Empire''' was an early bronze-age group of city-states, mostly of the [[Kasshi]] ethnicity, though including some non-Kasshi tributaries. The name is a modern invention, part of [[Dzesa]]'s historiography, and is often referred to as simply the Pre-[[Sanle]] Kasshi Civilization by many historians in the [[League of Democratic Nations]]. This "Empire" was very loosely organized, consisting primarily of a core group of rival city-states and various peripheral tributaries. Some elements of Sanle culture had already entered Kasshi civilization, via the [[Oppai]], including the [[Kasshi syllabry]], derived from the [[Oppai syllabry]], itself a derivative of the [[Sanle logographs]]. This period was followed by the [[Sanle Domination]]. [[Category:Kasshi History]] Sanle Domination 3118 16624 2006-11-26T05:13:59Z Christina 18 The '''Sanle Domination''' is a term given by [[Dzesa]] to the period in time after the fall of the [[First Kasshi Empire]], when the Kasshi city-states were tributaries to the [[Sanle Empire]]. During this period, Kasshi culture underwent considerable change, adopting elements of Sanle civilization, including the [[Sanle logographs]] and the matriarchy. This period was followed by the [[Era of Invasions]]. [[Category:Kasshi History]] Era of Invasions 3119 16096 2006-11-21T01:42:05Z Christina 18 The '''Era of Invasions''' is a term given to an era of [[Kasshi history]] between the [[Sanle Domination]] and the [[Anarchic Era]]. The term refers to the fighting between the [[Sanle Empire]] and the [[Karel Union]] over an area of land which included [[Kassa]]. Kassa traded hands several times. [[Category:Kasshi History]] Kassa 3120 16320 2006-11-21T05:27:35Z Christina 18 '''Kassa''' is an island off the west coast of [[Odirá]], which provided, in ancient times, a link between the Northern and Southern halves of Odirá. It is the original homeland of the [[Kasshi]] people, and the source of their name. [[Category:Galhafan Geography]] [[Category:Kasshi]] Anarchic Era 3121 40098 2008-11-24T03:36:04Z Christina 18 The '''Anarchic Era''' is a period of [[Kasshi history]] between the [[Era of Invasions]] and [[Chinrasta's Theocracy]]. It was part of an era of general disintegration of empires worldwide, caused by the [[Great Freeze]], one of several minor ice ages in recorded [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]an history. The Great Freeze was the most dramatic ice age in ''recorded'' history. It resulted in drastic declines in agricultural yields, and the near-total collapse of east-west trade in [[Odirá]], due to the freezing over of the [[Shivrashan Pass]] in the [[Fantasta Mountains]]. In terms of Kasshi history, it was characterized by the withdrawal of both the [[Sanle Empire]] and the [[Karel Union]] from [[Kassa]] and surrounding areas. Internecine fighting, surpressed by both the Sanle and the Karel, reappeared, and cities rose and fell in prominence. Eventually, [[Chinrasta]] would unite the Kasshi cities, and, taking advantage of the power vacuum in the region, establish her Theocracy, which would later give way to the [[Second Kasshi Empire]]. [[Category:Kasshi History]] Great Freeze 3122 16588 2006-11-25T08:05:03Z Christina 18 The '''Great Freeze''' was a period of severe global cooling in [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]an history. It caused widespread famines around the world, and forced the depopulation of areas near the polar regions. The famines caused by the Freeze lead to the decline, and in some cases, outright collapse, of civilizations around the world, including the [[Blafu Empire]] and the [[Old Kalpanian Kingdom]]. Ocean levels fell considerably, cutting off a number of sea-ports from the ocean, and causing a migration to newly-revealed lands, lands which were later inundated by the [[Great Thaw]]. At its peak, the island of [[Kassa]] was connected to the mainland. [[Category:Galhafan History]] Feladmena Province 3123 16436 2006-11-23T03:39:06Z Sirica 257 /* Famous Locations */ '''Feladmena Province''' (Mirselec ''Feladmena denai''), also known as Province 4, is a [[subdivisions of Risevne|province]] of [[Risevne]], occupying most of the [[Feladmena Plain]] south of the [[Ismade river]] and east of the [[Rushalya river]]. It borders [[Eonis Province]] to its east, [[Inezama Province]] to its south and southwest, [[Isana]], [[Bresnga]] and [[Ngaba Province]] to its west, [[Horeston Province]] and [[Enimdanai Province]] to its north, and [[Taluste]] to its northeast. Its capital is the city of [[Bisuniya]], which is also the fifth largest city in the country. Owing to its central position, Feladmena Province is one of the most economically vibrant and most populated provinces in all Risevne. Crisscrossed by highways and high-speed railways, it is a major transportation node for the whole nation, and especially for the [[Ibretal]] built up area; most of the smaller cities which link up the three great cities of Isana, Bresnga and Taluste lie within Feladmena. ==Geography== The topography of Feladmena is mostly flat; indeed the term ''felad'' means "level", and so ''Feladmena'' literally means "flat plain". Hilly areas, most of which have been the focus of efforts at reforestation, do exist, mostly in the east and northeast near the city of Taluste; from this region several small rivers feed out into the Rushalya. The Rushalya river is the dominant waterway in the region, but owing to the flat terrain most of the rivers in the region are navigable. Major rivers include the Ismade and the [[Edanyo river|Edanyo]]. Most of these rivers are also heavily used for irrigation in the past, leaving long canals which these days often serve as tourist attractions, for example the famous [[Erbatakuruya]], or Erba's Canal, which stretches 61 kilometres from the Ismade and feeds several large reservoirs around which towns have grown. Of all the provinces of Risevne Feladmena is perhaps one of the most deeply changed by human activity, due to its suitability for human settlement; in modern days, though a large part of the land remains under cultivation, the province plays the role of a huge transport conduit for the three largest cities of the country. Several great highways begin here, including the [[Masalne West Coast Highway]], as well as the [[Inland Sea Highway]] and the [[Southern Highway]], and most of the islands's major railways also intersect here. ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Bisuniya]] *[[Golanbe]] *[[Keduro]] ==Famous Locations== *[[Erbakuruya]] *[[Lake Salmesi]], a lake nearly doubled in area by irrigation projects *[[Omesa Tombs]], a splendid series of tombs of the Kings of Masal and other important nobles [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Ismade river 3124 15760 2006-11-19T13:04:56Z Sirica 257 /* Cultural Significance */ The '''Ismade river''' (Mirselec ''Ismade ainos'') is a large river in southern [[Masalne]] that forms the broder between [[Feladmena Province]] and [[Horeston Province]]. A tributary of the [[Rushalya river]] as the later turns to head south along the border of Horeston and [[Ngaba Province]], it is a major river in its own right, with considerable economic and historical importance for Risevne. ==Geography== ==Human History== ==Importance== ===Industry and Transport=== ===Agriculture and Fishery=== ==Cultural Significance== This river is sometimes known, due to its position, as the Border River; since ancient times it was the demarcation of provinces, separating the richer and more developed south from the more rural northern [[Feladmena Plain]]. As such, the saying "To cross a bridge of the Ismade" means to make a major change in one's life, analogous to leaving the cities and farming, or giving up one's land to come to the city for a job. The position of the Ismade between two economically distinct areas has also made it a symbol of an old cultural and to some extent linguistic divide; while in modern days the economies have become much more similar, the dialectic differences still exist to some extent. [[category:Rivers of Risevne]] Hesgarigani 3125 19208 2007-02-13T03:02:39Z Sirica 257 /* Origins */ The term '''Hesgarigani''' denotes shipborne pirates, raiders, invaders and eventually settlers from what is modern day [[Masalne]], operating between the 1st and 5th centuries DN, who operated mostly on the coastal regions of [[Osonde]], but in many cases also reached far inland via rivers. The Hesgarigani were mostly [[Mirsel|Mirselani]] by ethnicity and in origin, though their ranks would eventually swell to include peoples from over ancient [[Kavena]], [[Birasleti]] and [[Ruguzma]] such that the term would become merely a catch-all description for any pirate and raider by the 3rd century. Their travels and impact upon mainland cultures, as well as the devastation caused by the [[DN Event]], precipitated the [[Hesgarigani Era]] in both Risevan and Kavenain history, albeit with dramatically different interpretations. ==Name and Etymology== The term Hesgarigani is quite unambiguous in [[Mirselec]]; it means "Raider" (Hesgara "raid" + -gani), and was originally used to denote merely the first phase of what is now called the Hesgarigani Era, when the Mirselani visited Osonde mainly for the simple motivation of loot. This term, however, was coined by 19th century historians, based ironically on Kavenain sources about their tormentors in that period, and does not occur as an autonym in any writings that have survived from the Mirselani, which were not yet discovered in the 19th century. Rather, the Hesgarigani mostly addressed themselves as simply being a member of a certain clan, tribe and eventually kingdom, as their own social structures evolved partly through direct contact with the advanced civilisations on Osonde. The closest things to a term that applies to the profession of raiding include ''Numarkhain'' (Modern ''Nimargani'', "Navigator" or "Seafarer") and ''Ganudekhain'' (Modern ''Kanidegani'', roughly meaning "Warrior"). In [[Unna Kavena|the Kavenain language]] even in modern days, the term ''Ezkar'', which is based off the Mirselec verb ''Hesgara'', is used to refer to a bandit or a particularly rapacious foe; up to the 20th century, and even after, it was often used as a derogatory term for the Risevani by the Kavenain. ==Origins== The Hesgarigani, despite their seemingly monolithic image as raiders, warriors and invaders, were in fact a highly heterogenous group; for much of their history internecine warfare was just as common as warfare against other peoples. What can be ascertained is that the technology and techniques for which these people were famed came mostly from the Mirselani who inhabited the western coast of Masalne, and that these people were the driving force behind the first raids. The technologies used by the Hesgarigani to great effect in this era were not new; rather they had evolved over hundreds of years, hinting at an unusually high level of technological attainment even before the DN Event. Skilled at shipbuilding and navigation, the Hesgarigani made use of compasses, knowledge of which is postulated to have been gained around the early first century BDN; another intriguing fact is that, while the raids were received with great shock, the records from the period do not betray much curiosity about these people, and in some cases even calls them "Once-traders". Seen in this light of relatively highly social and technological achievement, the reasons for the spread of the Hesgarigani seem inextricably tied to the DN Event. It is postulated that the fallout from the event had negative impacts on the way of life in Masal, based around small-scale agriculture in the coastal plains regions; as productivity fell due to lack of sunlight and colder climates, the people looked to their former trading partners on mainland Osonde (who had, by this time, developed extensive irrigation technologies, which partially softened the impact of the Event), and trading soon turned to raiding. At the same time the perennial lack of a strong central force amongst the Mirselani would also have precluded a stop to the raiding by any authorities. ==Characteristics== ===Organisation=== ==The Hesgarigani Era== ===1st Century DN: Localised raids=== ===Late 1st - 2nd Century DN: The Great Raids=== ===3rd - 4th Century: Assimilation and Consolidation=== ===Decline and Fall=== ==Impacts== Karelne ta Hyerisa 3126 16509 2006-11-24T15:40:49Z Christina 18 '''Karelne ta Hyerisa''', literally meaning "Era of [the] Kingdoms" in [[Mirselec]], is a period in [[Risevne|Risevan history]] commonly cited to have lasted from around the fifth century, when the large kingdoms of [[Masal]] and [[Rarena]] were founded within a decade of each other, up to the 13th century DN when the two kingdoms merged (to be exact, in 1249 DN). While this period takes the two best-known kingdoms in the south as a centre, the era can arguably be said to have lasted all the way until the fifteenth century when the term ''Masalne'', land of Masal, was extended to the entire island for the first time. The age was one of endemic warfare and economic struggle, as the climatic changes brought about by the [[DN Event]] began to fade and civilisation began colonising the northern areas of Masalne again. As the last of the [[Hesgarigani]] kingdoms faded and were absorbed by their hinterland cultures around this period, the competition for resources and power turned inwards, towards the sparsely settled areas in the north, as well as neighbouring [[Agalmare]], which soon became embroiled in the struggles as well. ==Background== [[category:History of Risevne]] Baseniga Province 3335 16053 2006-11-20T03:50:16Z Sirica 257 '''Baseniga Province''' ([[Mirselec]] ''Baseniga denai''), also known as province 11, is a [[subdivisions of Risevne|province]] of [[Risevne]], and the southernmost of the provinces popularly known as the Mountain Provinces. Lying to the north of the [[Feladmena Plain]], where the main range of the [[Mathormagos]] veers to move along the coast, it borders [[Osagona Province]] to its north, [[Serteni Province]] to its northeast, [[Osbane Province]] to its west, [[Abanamide Province]] to its southwest, and [[Horeston]] and [[Enimdanai]] provinces to its south. The provincial capital is the city of [[Argosna, Baseniga|Argosna]]. Being the area of the mountains closest to the main centres of Risevan civilisation, and lying between the kingdoms in the south and the [[Lavgor Inland Sea]] to the northeast, Baseniga has since ancient times been an important transportation node. The extensive network of ''Saosunkemo'', or "Slope Paths", which were painstakingly built over centuries into the foothills of the mountains, are still in heavy use these days, albeit modernised and paved; and the [[Inland Sea Highway]], as well as several other cross-mountain highways and railroads, also run through the mountain ranges. The mountainous terrain of the coast, which makes it unsuitable for ports, has in turn made the province heavily reliant on these rail and road links. ==Geography== Baseniga's terrain is dominated by its mountains; the Mathormagos covers most of its area, with mountains stretching right up to coastal cliffs, and most of its cities are located in relatively high altitudes within the many river valleys. Famous peaks include [[Mount Belhinar]], just north of the city of [[Tomiyaru]], and [[Mount Kaona]], which lies on the border between Baseniga and Serteni provinces. The few areas of lowland are concentrated mostly near Mount Kaona, to its west where a large area of wetlands and plains form a highly strategic power centre within the province. The provincial capital of Argosna is set in this region. The mountains of Baseniga, as with the rest of the provinces on the west of the Inland Sea, receive large amounts of rain every year; as a result the area has a large number of rivers, most of which drain westwards into three major rivers: the [[Kezarte river|Kezarte]], the [[Imon river|Imon]], and the [[Mosoyana river|Mosoyana]]. The profusion of small streams within the borders of the province have earned it the ancient poetic title of ''Zunainosdenai'', literally "Thousand-River-Province". Several rivers also drain eastwards, most notably into the wetlands that surround the foothills of Mount Kaona. ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Argosna, Baseniga|Argosna]] *[[Hedanose]] *[[Ayegaven]] ==Famous Locations== *[[Mount Belhinar]] [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Imerte Province 3336 16409 2006-11-22T15:05:21Z Sirica 257 '''Imerte Province''' ([[Mirselec]] ''Imerte denai''), also known as Province 24, is a [[subdivisions of Risevne|province]] of [[Risevne]], situated in northern [[Masalne]] and often grouped as one of the three [[Masbaradenai|Northern Provinces]]. It borders [[Darnevgana Province]] on its west and northwest, and [[Tasenir Province]] on its south, while its east is a long coast facing the [[Elaspegian Ocean]]. The province also includes [[Ugatasurna]], a large offshore island to the west. Its capital is the coastal city of [[Begarni]]. With a harsh climate and mountainous terrain, Imerte Province is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Risevne; yet it is famed throughout the country, and to some extent throughout the world, as one of the major centres of the Risevan fishing industry. The many harbours of the coast, especially in [[Estagi Bay]], are relatively sheltered from storms by Ugatasurna, and it is from these ports that the fishing vessels venture into the waters of the [[Dinezin Sea]], as well as the northern Elaspegian, for their catch. ==Geography== ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Begarni]] ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Matafengar 3337 19547 2007-02-23T16:01:04Z Sirica 257 Cleaning the House; Rebuilding from the Foundations ==Background== ==Preparations== ==The Gathering== ==Legacy and Impact== ==See Also== *[[Nise ke Tasanuri]] [[category:History of Risevne]] Nise ke Tasanuri 3338 17164 2006-12-06T02:21:32Z Sirica 257 '''Nise ke Tasanuri, Alinan ta Harusa''' (June 8, 1429 - November 15, 1493) is a [[Risevan]] politician who served as the [[Naruganize]] of the kingdom of [[Masal]] from 1471 to 1477, and as the Naruganize of the unified Kingdom of Risevne from 1477 to his death. Widely regarded as one of the greatest statesmen and administrators in Risevan history, his efforts helped secure the unity of the Kingdom, and to a large extent kept it unified against the later pressures from disaffected former rulers; at the same time he advocated unification with the neighbouring island of [[Agalmare]], his efforts setting the foundation for the eventual union to be signed just nine years after his death in 1502. As the prime advisor of [[Sarus I of Risevne|King Sarus I]] for 22 years, Nise ke Tasanuri remains the longest serving Naruganize of Risevne; as modern laws only allot a maximum of three 5-year terms for the Naruganize, it is unlikely that this record will be equalled or surpassed. Known as a shrewd judge of character, as well as a great admirer of talent, he is best known for forming the first [[Royal Council]] to serve as advisors to the King and a counterbalance to the power of the Afengar. At the same time he was also a great advocate of education, and made several donations to important universities within the nation. ==Childhood and Youth== ==Start of Political Career== In 1448, at the young age of 19, Nise ke Tasanuri was first recommended to the royal court of Masal by a friend of his father's; [[King Nimodas II]] commented that "he was of slow but deep thought; needing time for contemplation more than his peers, he invariably could give better answers than them." =="The King's Right Hand"== ==Ascension to Chancellorship== ==The Matafengar== ==Later Career and the Agalmare Problem== ==Personal and Family Life== Tasanuri is known to have married twice; the first marriage was in 1451, to a woman of the Imigul family, while the second was to [[Tilun ke Noman uli Tasanuri]], daughter of famed Masalan general [[Hedete ke Noman]], in 1465. By all accounts the first marriage was a relatively happy one, and Tasanuri is reputed to have requested resignation twice upon the death of his wife in 1462, only to be rejected both times. The second marriage was more of political convenience than love, and Tasanuri was 14 years older than his wife. Of the first marriage Tasanuri had five children, three sons: Alnis, Kenero and Estani, and two daughters: Naisa and Suya. Of the second two more sons were born, Avgoma and Nigasar. ==Legacy and Impact== Presently there are many memorials to Tasanuri's name; many cities across Risevne have a "Tasanuri Road" or a "Nise Road", the most famous ones being the [[Tasanuri Boulevard, Bresnga]], which stretches through the commercial centre of [[Bresnga]] and is one of its busiest and best known roads, as well as [[Tasanuri Boulevard, Isana]], which runs from the East Bay southwards to the [[Belegras Dockyards]] and has undergone extensive renovation with the renovation of the Docks. In Isana the [[Unification Memorial Park]], situated around [[King Sarus I Square]] also has two statues of him, one along the memorial avenue where he stands on the right of [[King Sarus I]], and another on the field of the gathering itself, where he is shown leaning towards the King as if to advise him. [[Tasanuri College, University of Isana]], as well as Tasanuri House of the [[University of Hesurimon]], are named after him as well.

It has an area of 13.6 square kilometres, and a single village on the island houses a population of 330. ==Notes== The island is most well known as the beginning and end of an important pilgrimage trail of the [[Risevan religion]], as well as the profusion of shrines that stand in its thick forest. Much of the island is covered by forest, and within the forest paths more than two hundred shrines stand, some of which have been in existence since the ninth century DN. Even these days it is a very holy site for many Risevani; the fact that it has no temple in fact makes it more popular for worship (see article on Risevan religion for explanation). The forest itself, containing many trees more than 300 years old, is a famous tourist attraction, and recently a new jetty has been erected to accommodate larger boats visiting the island. [[category:Islands of Risevne]] [[category:Serteni Province]] Rarena ta Keinoser 3340 16069 2006-11-20T14:53:18Z Sirica 257 The '''Rarena ta Keinoser''', literally meaning Chronicles of [[Rarena]] in [[Mirselec]], is a historical chronicle focusing mainly on the events in the kingdom of Rarena in southern [[Masalne]]. While the term is often taken as referring to a single compilation, there are in fact two chronicles of Rarena; the first, or the Old Chronicle (''Erivikeino''), spans from the time of the kingdom's alleged founders, in the 3rd century BDN, to around the late 4th century DN, and is widely believed to have been compiled in 442 DN; the New Chronicle (''Navnokeino''), compiled in 1131 DN, chronicles events from the founding of the [[Hesgarigani]] kingdom of [[Obidir]] all the way to around the late 11th century DN. The Rarena ta Keinoser is just one of the many Keinoser or chronicles which are the main direct historical sources for the period of the [[Karelne ta Hyerisa]]; modelled much after the same format, their style can in the end be traced back to the seminal historical work of the Mirsel, the [[Senomordas ta Keinoser]], edited by a historical scholar named [[Senomordas]]. ==Description and Organisation== Like all of the Keinoser, even up to the 17th century [[Risevne ta Matkeinoser]], the Rarena ta Keinoser is mainly divided two ways; the first, known as the Keinoser or chronicles, is a year-by-year account of major events that happened within that year, often in highly summarised form, while the second, known as the Dinansai or biographies, contains biographies of important opersonages, arranged either by geographical origin or by era. In the case of both the Rarena chronicles the former is used. In its summarised form the yearly chronicles sometimes take up no more than three or four paragraphs, devoted mainly to happenings within the kingdom and with those kingdoms with which they have direct contact. Nonetheless, the width of the works' scopes means that the work is quite massive; while the Erivikeino is split into 9 volumes, 6 for the Keinoser and 3 for the Donansai, the Navnokeino has 5 volumes of each. ==History of the Text== While the ultimate compilers of both the Keinoser are lost to history, the dates of their compilation can be dated with some certainty; the Erivikeino was compiled in either 442 or 446 DN, while the insertion of several corresponding [[reign years]] identifies the Navnokeino as being from 1131 DN. Ironically, of the two, the one which survives more intact today is in fact the Erivikeino; kept as a treasured book within Rarena, and copied profusely during the centuries when the kingdom was at the peak of its power, it presently survives in at least 5 complete manuscripts and another 9 near-complete ones. The Navnokeino was not so lucky; not long after the [[Rarena-Masal Union]] of 1247, during the riots and fights both for and against the unions that raged in the streets of many Rarenan cities, the great library of the city of [[Erisaromac]] - which was located ''outside'' the Royal Palace - was set aflame, and the only two copies of the Navnokeino did not survive unscathed - one was almost completely destroyed, while the other one survived with only 7 volumes out of 10. ==Notes== [[category:History of Risevne]] [[category:Important Risevan texts]] Senomordas ta Keinoser 3341 16508 2006-11-24T15:40:28Z Christina 18 The '''Senomordas ta Keinoser''', literally meaning "Chronicles of Senomordas" in [[Mirselec]], is the oldest extant historical work in the Mirselec language. Estimated to have been written in the late 2nd century DN by [[Senomordas]], during the period in [[Risevan history]] known as the age of the [[Hesgarigani]] states, the work is a seminal one that has had immense influence on Mirselec historiography as well as its culture and religion. ==Organisation== The Senokei, as the work's title is often shortened to, is a massive work that is divided into several categories: *''Keinoser'', or Chronicles; year-by-year records of happenings around the world, including such things as wars, diplomatic changes, changes in rulers and even in appointments to the courts of rulers. This is the bulk of the work and takes up 16 volumes, spanning from semilegendary times to around 166 DN. *''Karon ta Dinansai'', or Biographies of Kings; a 9 volume compilation of biographies of ruling figures and their families. *''Dinansai'', or Biographies; a 12 volume compilation of biographies of important figures, including generals, writers, officials, advisors, and in some cases even famous performers or infamous criminals. *''Ichomurtane'', or Origins; a 6-volume work on the legendary origins of the Mirsel people; this is by far the most intriguing part of the history, as well as the one with the greatest literary value. ==History of the Text== ==Impact and Legacy== The impact of the Senomodras ta Keinoser is profound on many levels, extending down to the script in which it was written - the compiler, coming from one of the foreign kingdoms just founded and exposed to the culture of mainland [[Osonde]], was quick to adapt their script to writing the Mirselec language. The resulting script, which was then adapted farther and used in most literary works up to the 9th century DN, was known simply as [[Senotakisarimi]], literally the "Pen Traces of Seno(mordas)". In highly modified form this script is the one used to write Mirselec in modern days; ironically the modern script in fact bears more resemblance to the oldest script found within these chronicles than to the later scripts of the 10th century onwards, primarily due to other outside influences complicating the latter orthographic system.

If a word contains both back and front vowels (in some foreign words), vowel harmony acts on with the last vowel, that is to say that when adding suffixes, if the word is mixed, look at the last vowel as an indicator. ===Consonants=== Parthavan also has the following consonants: <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} (m) || || || || {{IPA|n}} (n) || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}} (n) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} (p) || {{IPA|b}} (b) || || || {{IPA|t}} (t) || {{IPA|d}} (d) || || || || || || || {{IPA|k}} (k) || {{IPA|g}} (g) || {{IPA|q}} (q) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || || || {{IPA|θ}} (ť) || || {{IPA|s}} (s) || {{IPA|z}} (z) || {{IPA|ʃ}} (ş) || {{IPA|ʒ}} (ž) || || || {{IPA|x}} (x) || {{IPA|ɣ}} (ğ) || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || {{IPA|ts}} (ts) || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || {{IPA|β̞}} (v) || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} (y) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} (r) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Fricative|| || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɬ}} (l) |} </div> As well as this, most consonants have labialised and palatised forms. These are shown, where appropriate, by '''y''' and '''w''' following the consonant. ==Counting== Parthavan has a base-10 number system. Each number from 0 to 9 has initial, medial, final, isolated, and multiplier forms, which are used to make bigger numbers. ==Pronouns== Unlike Armavi, pronouns in Parthavan are not completely regular - i.e, to change their case, it is not a case of simple agglutination. Personal pronouns in Parthavan are explained in the following table. It should be noted that only the 1st and 2nd persons are irregular (there is not 3rd person plural - instead demonsratives are used): {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |+'''Parthavan pronouns''' |- ! Person !! Abs !! Acc !! Gen !! Dat !! Abl !! Loc !! Com !! Inst !! Cause |- ! 1st sing | Bi || Biği || Binii || Bitsüüd || Bicii || Beter || Bele || Beyele || Betöl |- ! 2nd sing | Tsi || Ciği || Cinii || Citsid || Tseyci || Tsetir || Tsele || Tseyele || Tsöyöl |- ! 1st plur | Bivir || Biviri || Biviin || Bivitsüüd || Bivitsii || Bivder || Beverle || Beverle || Bever-tölöö |- ! 2nd plur | Cingver || Cingveri || Cingviriin || Civirtsüüd || Civirtsii || Ceveder || Ceverle || Ceverle || Cever-tölöö |} ==Morphology== ===Nouns=== Case in Parthavan is marked by attaching suffixes to the end of words. These suffixes must harmonise in accordance with the vowel harmony rules stated above. '''Plural''' suffixes go directly after the noun. They cannot be added to indefinite nouns, only definite ones. They can change depending on the noun itself: : '''berc / barc''' in most cases : '''bey / bay''' for nouns ending in ''c, r, t, s, z, ş, l, i'' or any front vowel : '''ibiğ''' for nouns ending in ''t, d, k, g, q'' The '''absolutive''' case carries no suffix - it is the plain noun as found in the lexicon. The absolutive is most commonly used as a nominative. However, it also serves as an indefinite accusative (of any type): '''Examples:''' : Bi adağ xevera ui : ''I like horses'' The '''definitive accusative''' is used for definite direct objects. The suffix is '''i''' or '''yi''' after vowels. '''Examples:''' : Bi adağbarci xevera ui : ''I like the horses'' The '''genetive''' is used to indicate the possessor. It has a variable suffix: : '''ying''' for words ending in vowels : '''un / ün''' in most cases : '''an / en''' for words whose last vowel is either ''a'' or ''e'' : '''u / ü''' for words ending in ''n'' The '''dative''' case indicates ''to where'' something was going. The suffix for the dative case is as follows: : '''uud / üüd''' after consonants : '''tsuud / tsüüd''' after vowels, l, and n This also gives a sense of ''"for,"'' as in: Note: any final ''c''s change to ''ts'' when attaching this suffix The suffix for the '''ablative''' case is '''aca / ece'''. The primary function for this case is indicating ''from where'' - i.e, the place away from which something is going. However, it is also used in comparisons, and so here it indicates ''than''; to indicate what something is made of; and as the agent in passive sentences. Another use of the ablative is ''"about"'' The '''locative''' indicates where something is. Its suffixes are: : '''tur / tür''' after all unvoiced consonants : '''dur / dür''' after all voiced consonants The '''comitative''' is simply translated as ''with''. It is marked by '''eli / ali'''. The '''instrumental''' indicates the instrument used to perform an action. Its suffix is '''le / la'''. The '''cause''' for something is also indicated by a suffix. Its suffix is '''toloo / tölöö'''. ===Verb morphology=== Verbs in Parthavan operate via a slightly different system from Armavi. The main difference is the lack of any personal indication (i.e: of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd persons). Verbs in Parthavan are also not as agglutinating as those in Armavi. ====Verb tenses==== Parthavan has 3 tenses. These are ''present tense'' ('''-(n)a / -(n)e'''), ''past tense'' ('''-(n)arağ / -(n)ereğ''') and ''future'' ('''-(n)arixt / -(n)erixt'''). However, in casual speech, the past tense suffix changes to '''-(n)ar / -(n)er''' and the future tense suffix changes to '''-(n)et / -(n)at'''. In all cases, the letters in the brackets indicate buffer consonants. ====Verb moods==== Parthavan has several forms of the passive, each with their own infix.

It has a population of 2,813,290, which makes it the third largest city in Risevne, and it forms a political and economic centre for the historical region known as Rarena. ==Geography== The city is sited in a broad, mostly flat plain that slopes gently north-south; to the west of the city are hills, known locally as the ''Hinekone'' or Eastern Hills, where the ancient stone and brick walls of Nesnoma can still be seen, including a large gatehouse at a gap in the hills where an old road once led to the even older city of [[Erisaromac City|Erisaromac]]. Along the coast Nesnoma possesses one of the best natural harbours of the [[Raretoya Peninsula]], and recent reclamation works to deepen the harbour while bolstering its defences against storms from the south are still ongoing. The port, along with the industrial districts on the southwest coast around the port, form the economic centre of modern Nesnoma. ==History== Nesnoma is an old city with a long history; its excellent natural harbour, and the availability of trees from the Hinekone forests and beyond, meant it was one of the main centres of Risevan civilisation during the years of the [[Hesgarigani]]. Indeed, several of the kingdoms founded on [[Osonde]] during that period explicitly trace their ancestry to rulers and warriors in Nesnoma, which was then called ''Salgehadun'' or "Docks of the [[Salge]] plant", and the city was greatly enriched by the loot, and later the trade, of its inhabitants with the kingdoms from far afield. In later years, as overseas trade declined and warring powers consolidated inland, the city allied with its eastern neighbour, and became the core port of the state that would later become the [[Kingdom of Rarena]], expanding its territory over much of modern day Ostema. The city was also named Nesnoma around this time. Nesnoma retained some of its trading glory, but also developed its agriculture during this period; in 931 two irrigation canals and a reservoir, meant for the fields north of the city, were completed. In this era, the city was ruled for nearly 370 years by the Oudugan family, and then for another five centuries by the powerful family of the Nuyetona, many of whom also held high posts in the Rarena government; their wealth, and that of the city, was well-recorded in the [[Rarena ta Keinoser]]: ''The Hayani'' (a feudal rank equivalent to Duke) ''of Nesnoma, in response to the war to the north, offered to send 60,000 Usak'' (an [[Risevan measurements and units|old unit]] of mass corresponding to around 18 kg) ''of grain, as well as to buy 2,000 horses and 10,000 bows to contribute to the armies.'' ==Economy== Modern day Nesnoma is a major port, as well as a centre of industry; major products include chemicals, electronics, and avionics. At the same time it is a centre of services, and has a thriving cottage industry for local handicrafts. The port, as in historical times, remains the linchpin of the economy; even as the port of [[Bresnga]] farther north is the main international port, Nesnoma remains an important terminal especially southwards; at the same time many huge merchandise and wholesale markets are still based in Nesnoma, mostly used as a node for goods to be shipped either around the region or northwards towards [[Agalmare]]. ==Transport== ==Culture and Society== ==Famous Buildings and Sites== [[category:Cities of Risevne]] [[category:Ostema Province]] Category:Ostema Province 3420 16249 2006-11-21T03:14:14Z Christina 18 [[Category:Provinces of Risevne]] Category:Persons of Valmante 3421 16251 2006-11-21T03:15:01Z Christina 18 [[Category:People]] [[Category:Valmante]] Category:Rulers of Risevne 3422 16252 2006-11-21T03:15:47Z Christina 18 [[Category:Rulers]] [[Category:Risevne]] Category:Royal Family of Risevne 3423 16254 2006-11-21T03:16:45Z Christina 18 [[Category:Famous Persons of Risevne]] Category:Plains of Risevne 3424 16256 2006-11-21T03:18:08Z Christina 18 [[Category:Geography of Risevne]] Category:Politics of Ilethes 3425 16257 2006-11-21T03:18:44Z Christina 18 [[Category:Government]] [[Category:Ilethes]] Category:Prehistory 3427 16259 2006-11-21T03:19:25Z Christina 18 [[Category:History]] Category:Prehistoric Cultures of Valmante 3428 16260 2006-11-21T03:22:01Z Christina 18 [[Category:Prehistory]] [[Category:Valmante]] Category:Prehistory of Ilethes 3429 16262 2006-11-21T03:23:01Z Christina 18 [[Category:Ilethes]] [[Category:Prehistory]] Category:Punishments of the Lein Dynasty 3430 16264 2006-11-21T03:24:34Z Christina 18 [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] Category:Regions of the Lein Dynasty 3431 16266 2006-11-21T03:25:52Z Christina 18 [[Category:Geography]] [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] Category:Reservoirs and Lakes in Risevne 3432 16268 2006-11-21T03:26:50Z Christina 18 [[Category:Risevne]] Category:Risevan destroyer classes 3433 16270 2006-11-21T03:29:04Z Christina 18 [[Category:Military of Risevne]] Category:Military of Risevne 3434 16271 2006-11-21T03:29:23Z Christina 18 [[Category:Military]] [[Category:Risevne]] Category:Risevani performers 3435 16276 2006-11-21T03:31:55Z Christina 18 [[Category:Famous Persons of Risevne]] Category:Risevani culture 3436 16277 2006-11-21T03:32:57Z Christina 18 [[Category:Risevne]] Category:Sample Texts 3437 16280 2006-11-21T03:34:08Z Christina 18 [[Category:Conlangs]] Category:Serteni Province 3438 16281 2006-11-21T03:34:44Z Christina 18 [[Category:Provinces of Risevne]] Category:Ships of the Risevan Royal Navy 3439 16282 2006-11-21T03:35:27Z Christina 18 [[Category:Military of Risevne]] Category:Stations of the Isana Underground 3440 16308 2006-11-21T05:11:27Z Christina 18 [[Category:Transport in Isana]] Category:Subdivisions of Risevne 3441 16284 2006-11-21T03:36:30Z Christina 18 [[Category:Risevne]] Category:Towns in Enimdanai Province 3442 16286 2006-11-21T03:38:02Z Christina 18 [[Category:Towns]] [[Category:Enimdanai Province]] Category:Enimdanai Province 3443 16287 2006-11-21T03:38:19Z Christina 18 [[Category:Provinces of Risevne]] Category:Towns 3444 16288 2006-11-21T03:38:33Z Christina 18 [[Category:Geography]] Category:Towns in Neiberin Province 3445 16289 2006-11-21T03:38:57Z Christina 18 [[Category:Towns]] [[Category:Neiberin Province]] Category:Neiberin Province 3446 16290 2006-11-21T03:39:27Z Christina 18 [[Category:Provinces of Risevne]] Category:Towns in Serteni Province 3447 16291 2006-11-21T03:39:49Z Christina 18 [[Category:Towns]] [[Category:Serteni Province]] Category:Transliteration systems 3448 16292 2006-11-21T03:40:17Z Christina 18 [[Category:Scripts]] Category:Universities of Risevne 3449 16293 2006-11-21T03:40:46Z Christina 18 [[Category:Education]] [[Category:Risevne]] Category:Wars of the Lein Dynasty 3450 16294 2006-11-21T03:41:18Z Christina 18 [[Category:Wars]] [[Category:Lein Dynasty]] Category:Water bodies of Ilethes 3451 17306 2006-12-10T12:59:37Z Denihilonihil 119 Mirsel 3452 16298 2006-11-21T04:04:52Z Sirica 257 The '''Mirsel people''', known in [[Mirselec]] as ''Mirselani'' or, in more ancient times, simply ''Dinaime'' for "human", are an ethnic group of [[Valmante]], most of whom are identified with the country of [[Risevne]]. Presently there are around 84 million Mirsel worldwide, of whom around 74 million reside in Risevne. ==Language== The language of the Mirsel is known as [[Mirselec]]; formerly thought to be a language isolate, it has recently become the focus of several controversial theories which seek to prove that it was descended from the [[Noma language family]], sharing a common ancestry with several languages spoken in modern day [[Noma]], 550 km north of the [[Risevan Home Islands]]. ==Culture== ==Origins and History== ==Modern day Mirsel== [[category:Ethnicities of Valmante]] [[category:Risevne]] Isana Underground 3453 16453 2006-11-23T14:10:11Z Sirica 257 The '''Isana Underground''' ([[Mirselec]] ''Isana Domogute Nasgai'', literally Isana Underground Rail) is one of the largest, most extensive, and most used underground train stations in the world. Covering most of the [[Risevan]] capital of [[Isana]], it is also connected at several stations to the [[Bresnga Underground]], as well as the national high-speed rail systems. The Underground in its modern form comprises a total of 15 lines, of which 13 are "Trunk Lines" stretching from one end of the city to another, while 2 - the [[Gardaus Ring Line, Isana Underground|Gardaus Ring Line]] and the [[Outer Ring Line, Isana Underground|Outer Ring Line]] - are ring lines that connect with most of the other lines and encircle the city. The Underground is a key part of transport within the city, and is correspondingly important within city culture and society. ==Description of the Underground== Despite being called the Underground, the IDN in fact runs both on, above, and below the surface; whereas surface rails and the occasional raised rails on pylons are used for the outer districts, the busiest stations in the city centre and along the border with Bresnga are underground, in order to conserve surface space and to merge in better with the Bresnga system (which is indeed completely underground). ==History== ==Management== ==Lines of the Underground== ==Notes== ===Station Art=== While the post-war lines of the Underground were built in a highly utilitarian, and sometimes even minimalist style, the lines in the east of the city, which are the oldest lines in the city, were richly built and decorated. [[category:Transport in Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Dzesa 3454 40142 2008-11-24T22:48:47Z Christina 18 '''Dzesa''' (673 [[Galhafan Chronology|OE]] - 795) was the leader and founder of the [[Yatta Party]], and ''de facto'' supreme ruler of the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Kasshi Empire]] in its early days. == Early Life == Dzesa was born to an old, declining, noble family. Her mother named her heir to one of her lesser titles, a meaningless title in those days. Captivated by her grandmother's stories of the family's glorious past, Dzesa became fascinated by the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire#Golden Age|old regime]], and [[Kasshi history]] in general. She strongly distrusted democracy, believing it to be the "incompetent usurping the capable". == Rise to Power == In her late 20's, Dzesa published ''[[A Concise History of the Kasshi People]]'' and ''[[A Brief History of Human Civilizations]]'', two books which set out her views on history. She remained marginal until what Dzesa called the Fourth Empire was dismantled following the [[War of Kalpanian Reunification]]. Outraged, Dzesa entered politics, founding the [[Yatta Party]], aiming at the reunification of the Kasshi Empire and the establishment of the same as a Great Power. Her party gradually rose to prominence in her home state of the [[Republic West of the Fantasta]], and established chapters in other Kasshi states. The various chapters of the Yatta Party arranged simultaneous referenda in the various Kasshi states for reunification. They passed in the majority of the states, and the Fifth Kasshi Empire was born. <!--== War of Unification == The new Empire was convoluted in form, and even broken up in some places. Strong pressure was placed on the other Kasshi states to join the new union. Fearing a revival of the Kasshi Empire, several foreign powers, led by the [[Blafu Union]], intervened, warning the Empire not to add any new territory. When, under questionable circumstances, the [[City-State of Ngamar]] voted to join the Empire, the Blafu Union declared war upon the Kasshi Empire for the purposes of "liberating" Ngamar, setting off the [[War of Unification]]. The Fifth Kasshi Empire won the war, forcing the remaining Kasshi states (and a few non-Kasshi states) to join the Empire. == Global War == The Empire quickly began flexing its muscles, seeking overseas territories and markets, and building up a military alliance against its enemies. Tensions built up, until the [[Global War]] at last broke out. The war ended in something of a stalemate. Kasshi forces were crumbling, and foreign troops had landed in peripheral territories, but their enemies were also stretched quite thin. Then Dzesa unveiled her great surprise - [[Galhaf (planet)|the world]]'s first atomic bomb. A plane, transported by a [[Wikipedia:submarine aircraft carrier|submarine aircraft carrier]], dropped the bomb over an enemy city, forcing a peace treaty. No territory was exchanged, although the Kasshi Empire did receive reparations. The unsatisfactory end left both sides hungry for vengeance, once they had recovered from the devestation of war, eventually leading to the War of Self-Defense. --> [[Category:Rulers]] [[Category:Kasshi]] Byensori 3455 16458 2006-11-23T14:25:18Z Sirica 257 /* Site and Situation */ '''Byensori''', literally meaning "General Store" in [[Mirselec]], is a neighbourhood in [[Isana]], situated on the west of [[Gardaus Bay]] near its mouth. This neighbourhood is a well-known centre of malls in Isana, and one of its famous shopping zones; its goods are mostly oriented towards the youth in recent years. ==History== ==Site and Situation== Byensori is just one of the several large "neighbourhoods" along the West Bay, along with other neighbourhoods like [[Taiberduya]], [[Degurunalmi]], [[Hazatole]] and [[Dasnimoya]]. While certain areas are widely considered to lie within Byensori, the fact that it is more an informal neighbourhood than an actual district, make it hard to define where exactly the bounds of Byensori are, and where it mixes into the other shopping districts along the West Bay. The main road of the area is [[Independence Road, Isana|Independence Road]], along or near which most of the larger malls are situated; yet the most distinctive feature of Byensori is not the large malls but the wild maze of narrow streets that branch out from the main roads, the remnants of the old markets for which the whole area was named. Along these narrow streets, many of which are closed to traffic and therefore only accessible by foot, small stores abound, offering merchandise from household tools to replica and sometimes authentic antique weaponry, though in Byensori the streets are most famous as snack stalls and restaurants. ==Significance== [[category:Neighbourhoods of Isana]] Dumosurna 3456 16303 2006-11-21T05:07:32Z Sirica 257 '''Dumosurna''' is a small, rocky island in the [[Elaspegian Ocean]], under the jurisdiction of [[Risevne]] (where it is placed with the [[Eastern Islands Department]]). Situated 231 kilometres from the southeast coast of [[Agalmare]], it is best known as an important waypoint for supply ships making the hazardous trip from [[Iruze]] to Risevne during the [[Third Global War|Third]] and [[Fourth Global War]]s. ==Geography== ===Wildlife=== ==History== The island was an important waypoint for both the Iruzeni supply ships making their way to Agalmare, as well as for the submarines used by the Coalition to hunt them, during the Fourth Global War. The island, as well as its lighthouse, had been placed under military control upon the reactivation of the [[Third Asela League]] in mid 1939; as the tensions that would lead to war rose, the island's strategic position and role in preserving Risevne's lifeline became abundantly obvious, and steps were taken to fortify the area. The harbour to the northeast of the island was enlarged by sinking blockships in the relatively shallow waters to create a protected area, and for much of the war a squadron of 4 destroyers and a light cruiser were stationed between Dumosurna and nearby [[Meltonosurna]]. In response to fears that a Coalition fleet may sail out directly to challenge this crucial area of sea, the capture of which would have placed Risevne under siege, extensive land defences were also placed on the island, including 28 large concrete bunkers, nearly 80 pillboxes for machine guns along the coast, and nearly 40 land-based guns meant to fight off a naval invasion. ==Notes== [[category:Islands of Risevne]] [[category:Islands of the Elaspegian Ocean]] Category:Transportation 3457 16304 2006-11-21T05:09:42Z Christina 18 [[Category:Geography]] Category:Transport in Isana 3458 16306 2006-11-21T05:10:27Z Christina 18 [[Category:Transportation]] League of Democratic Nations 3459 40625 2008-12-07T21:19:29Z Christina 18 The '''League of Democratic Nations''' is a supernational organization opposed to the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Kasshi]]-led [[International Council of Governments]].

It is an ancient city, located on the west shore of the [[Kalpanian Sea]]. Its importance stems from its strategic location between low passes in the [[Fantasta Mountains]] and good harbors on the Kalpanian Sea, giving it a crucial role in trade between West and East [[Odirá]]. There have been several times in its history when the city decline to little more than a fishing village, when trade declined, especially when the mountain passes became less passable. Most notably during the [[Great Freeze]], which nearly destroyed the settlement. After the [[Great Thaw]], however, [[Navesh]] convinced the Duchess of the East to purchase the small village from its [[Kalpan]]ian overlords, who consented, on the understanding that it would be established as a sovereign, unarmed, city-state. This is the origin of its former status as a distinct member-state of the Empire. The city was used as a road to the [[Conquest of Kalpan]], and it grew rapidly under the increase in East-West trade, using its wealth and economic power to maintain indepence. After the [[Shivrashan Crisis]], it came to be the capital of the entire [[Trans-Fantasta]]. It gradually lost control of the Trans-Fantasta, and eventually became subject to the [[Blafu Union]]. It broke away during the latter's decline, and voted to join the Fifth Empire upon its creation. The city suffered repeated attacks during the [[War of Unification]] and the [[Global War]]. In the last stages of the later war, the City-State broke away from the Empire, signing a separate peace treaty with the [[Eastern Alliance]]. Today, the city-state covers a little under 2,000 square kilometers, divided between two heavily-urbanized cities and sparsely-populated mountains and off-shore islands. There are no suburbs, the urbanized areas having expanded to their geographical limits and the remaining territory being ill-suited for large-scale settlement, being primarily heavily-subsidized farming areas or barren mountains. == Cities of Shivrashan == The City-State contains two cities, Shivrashan City and [[New Kotarshan City]]. In addition, there are several Rural Districts covering the Shivrashanian portions of the Fantasta Mountains and several off-shore islands === Districts === Shivrashan City is divided into a number of semi-autonomous Districts, many of them formerly separate cities (quite a few have retained the title of "city"). A partial listing is as follows: *The [[City of Temples]] *[[Freeport]] *[[Naval City]] *[[Old City (Shivrashan)|Old City]] In addition to the urban districts, there are four Rural Districts *Islands *North District *West District *South District The Rural Districts are sparsely populated. The Islands District only includes rural islands. Many of the offshore islands have been annexed into the City itself. Most of the population of the Rural Districts is involved in farming in the government-subsidized City Farms. The City Farms are left over from an attempt by previous governments to make the city-state self-sufficient, or nearly so, in food, due to fears of siege. There is no longer any expectation that the city-state could ever feed itself on its own territory, as the population has grown far too much, and most of what fertile land once did exist has been urbanized. The subsidies have proven politically difficult to reduce, however, and so the farms continue in operation, providing a minuscule fraction of the city's food supply. ==== Population and Area ==== {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="bordertable" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |'''Section''' |'''Population''' |'''Area''' |'''Population Density''' |- |'''City of Shivrashan''' |14,748,935 |637.8 km² |23,124/km² |- |'''City of New Kotarshan''' |856,989 |246.9 km² |3,471/km² |- |'''Islands''' |8,386 |157.8 km² |53.14/km² |- |'''North District''' |2,346 |208.9 km² |11.23/km² |- |'''West District''' |15,894 |375.4 km² |42.26/km² |- |'''South District''' |859 |267.1 km² |3.216/km² |} == Government == The city-state is lead by a [[Chief Trader of Shivrashan|Chief Trader]], elected by the [[Council of Traders and Merchants]].

It was the last of the central districts to be merged into the city, and retains a small degree of autonomy relative to the other districts. Uniquely, it retains a Portmistress or Portmaster, a title reckoned equal to that of [[Kasshi honorifics|Lady or Lord Mayor]]. Originally, the former City of Freeport was known as the City of Slaveport. The reason for this name, which is also the reason for its long independence of the city, stemmed from its place in the slave trade, and the opposition to the same from Chief Trader [[Nakoral Chivanakan]]. Nakoral refused to permit slaves to pass through his city, but was unable (indeed, unwilling) to halt the highly profitable trade in human property. By way of compromise, slavers were permitted to unload their merchandise just outside of the city limits, conveying them through the Slave Road, now called [[Freedom Avenue]]. The slavers were permitted to establish an indepenent port authority, which later grew into a town, and finally a full city. The stigma of the slave trade kept Slave Port nominally outside of Shivrashan, even as Shivrashan itself grew to surround it. Even Slave Road itself remained officially outside of the City. Some time after the abolition of slavery, Slaveport renamed itself Freeport, in an attempt to get beyond its shameful past. The city continued to be looked down upon by the administration in Shivrashan City, however, despite its great wealth. Gradually, however, the stigma of its past wore off, and the city joined Shivrashan. [[Category:Districts of Shivrashan]] Naval City 3466 16383 2006-11-21T23:29:17Z Christina 18 '''Naval City''' is a district within the City-State of [[Shivrashan]]. Its name derives from its traditional role as the main port for the [[Kalpanian Fleet]] of the [[Imperial Kasshi Navy]]. It was once a thriving center of piracy on the [[Kalpanian Sea]] before the [[Anti-Piracy War]] effectively shut down piracy. The district is subdivided into an eastern and a western half, on opposite sides of [[Pirate's Bay]]. The eastern and western halves of the bay are broad expanses of beach between a large expanse of cliffs and the sea, upon which the district is built, while in the middle, the sea comes right up to the cliffs. Within the cliffs is a great sea-cave, capable of sheltering large fleets. It was for this reason, along with the defensibility of the bay's mouth, that attracted pirates to it. It also proved, for the same reason, ideal for the secret construction of a great naval fleet after the purchase of Shivrashan by the [[Duchy of the North]]. Like [[Freeport]], Naval City retained its independence of Shivrashan long after the great city had expanded to its borders, but for a different reason, namely that it remained under direct Imperial Rule. This changed as the Fourth Empire began to decline, and Shivrashan took over administration of its region, seizing control of the Kalpanian Fleet. At this time, Naval City was forcefully annexed, leading to the [[Shivrashan Crisis]] [[Category:Districts of Shivrashan]] Shivrashan Crisis 3468 23259 2007-07-13T08:53:24Z Christina 18 The '''Shivrashan Crisis''' was an important event in the history of the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire]]. It originally involved the autonomous City-State of [[Shivrashan]] and the Kasshi naval base at what is now [[Naval City]], and grew to include the entire [[Trans-Fantasta]]. The crisis began with the weakening of imperial authority outside of the core of the Kasshi Empire. Shivrashan, long independent, began to exert a greater influence in the Kasshi possessions north of the [[Fantasta Mountains]], and to assert greater independence from [[Ivets]]. Under the administration of Chief Trader [[Kotar Trovakkakan]], the city began to see itself as not simply an autonomous City-State within the Kasshi Empire, but as the capital of the entire north, and began making various demands of the Kasshi naval commanders, including demand for greater compensation for the use of the port, amounting to outright tribute. The Kasshi Empress, [[Chingara]] was too concerned with threats closer to home to protest, and agreed to the increase. Tensions were rising, but peace was maintained, until the [[Drunken Sailor Incident]]. Tensions exploded, and the Chief Trader ordered the Municipal Police into the naval enclave, seizing control, and proclaiming Shivrashan control of the navy. The Empress sent troops to Shivrashan, but Kotar was prepared to meet them, and defeated them in the [[Battle of Shivrashan Pass]]. After several other inconclusive engagements, a treaty was drawn up between Chief Trader Kotar and Empress Chingara granting control of the entire Trans-Fantasta to Shivrashan, which in turn agreed to become subject (nominally) to the Empire. This was the first time that the authority of Ivets had been seriously challenged, and defeated. It is commonly considerd to be the beginning of the end of serious imperial rule, leading to a long disintegration of the Fourth Empire, in which various provinces and cities drifted further and further from the rule of the Kasshi empresses. [[Category:Kasshi History]] [[Category:Shivrashan]] Drunken Sailor Incident 3469 23256 2007-07-13T08:51:22Z Christina 18 The '''Drunken Sailor Incident''' was the incident that sparked the [[Shivrashan Crisis]]. Little is known about it, as no detailed records survive. What we ''do'' know is that it involved a sailor from [[Naval City|the Kasshi naval base]], who was inside [[Shivrashan]], and became drunk and disorderly. He was apparently arrested by the Shivrashan police force, and alleged excessive force on the part of the police. The admiral in charge of the naval base demanded the sailor's release, and when he was refused, the admiral in turn refused to turn over harbor fees. The already-tense situation then boiled over when [[Chief Trader of Shivrashan|Chief Trader]] [[Kotar Trovakkakan]] responded by closing off the city to Kasshi sailors, arresting any sailor found within city limits. Violence broke out, and the Chief Trader invaded the base, forcefully annexing it to the city. Some sailors found refuge in [[Freeport|Slaveport]] (modern-day Freeport), further fueling the animosity between the two cities. [[Portmaster of Freeport|Portmaster]] [[Robakoda Ntsakkan]] refused to extradite any sailors, and at last Kotar agreed to grant amnesty to any who returned to the now-Shivrashan navy. Some sailors did return, while others remained in Slaveport, becoming citizens of the city. [[Category:Kasshi History]] [[Category:Shivrashan]] City of Temples 3470 28573 2008-02-06T20:10:43Z Christina 18 The '''City of Temples''' is a district of [[Shivrashan]] known for its numerous temples, honoring nearly every religion in the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Empire]] and beyond. It is located in the southern region of the city, in the foothills of the [[Fantasta Mountains]]. The former city began during Shivrashan's resurrection after the [[Conquest of Kalpan]], when traders from all over [[Odirá]] came through the city. Many of them practiced foreign religions, which the Shivrashan authorities were reluctant to permit in the city. Several priests founded monastaries in what would later become the City of Temples, outside of the Shivrashan's city limits. These monastaries became the nucleus of a growing collection of houses of worship, and eventually the [[Chief Trader of Shivrashan|Chief Trader]] granted them authority to establish a city government. Despite the name, there are many residences and secular businesses within the City as well. Never the less, the great temples are a sight to see. Over the centuries, the various religious orders have competed with each other in magnificence, supported by wealthy traders, seeking their deities' blessing, or thanking them for their assistance. Today, the district is a must-see for any tourist.

Its name translates as "Heritage". The party was founded by [[Dzesa]], and is a neo-monarchist party. [[Category:Kasshi]] Cironean 3473 17249 2006-12-08T16:13:33Z Bodhraneoir 199 /* Appendix I: Numerals */ :Cironean (natively: ''rethró athenam Cirónei'', "language of the men of Cirone") is a language in the [[Redhrácic]] family of tongues spoken by the [[Homo antiquus]] [[Cironeans]]. ==Phonology== :Roman-alphabet transliteration reveals a principally Indo-European-equivalency in pronunciation, with an equivalency bias toward Latinate and Romance forms with a few deviations. ===Phonemes=== ====Consonants==== :Consonantal phonemes, as observed above, are principally Latinate. The list below is the sum total of native consonants recognized in Cironean. {| | C | CH | D | F | G | H | J | L |- | M | N | P | Q | U | R | S | SH |- | T | TH | V | W | X | Y | Z |} A few notes: *The C phoneme is not orthographically bifurcated as in modern Latin/Latinate languages or in English. It is universally an aspirated, voiceless velar plosive. It's voiced brother, G, in similar fashion always expressed a voiced velar plosive. *CH is never gutteral as the Germanic form. It never represents x. It always represents the initial phoneme as expressed in words such as the English '''ch'''erry. *J is not, as in Latin, a form evolved to express a consonantal I-form. it invariably expresses the phoneme dʒ. *SH is always voiceless; also TH, which under no circumstances represents ð. That phoneme, while present in parallel [[Redhrácic]] family members, dropped out of use in Cironean. *X universally expresses a "KS" phoneme. *Z is always a voiced alveolar fricative. ====Vowels==== The vowel phonemes in Cironean are analogical with Latinate vowels, with a vanishingly slight degree of variation. They are laid out below. *a – Latin p'''a'''ter *o – Latin p'''o'''ssum *ó – Latin laud'''o''' *u – Latin p'''u'''to *e – Latin mon'''e'''o *i – Latin f'''i'''o *ai (archaic) – approx. to Latin c'''ae'''lum *oi – English p'''oi'''nt *ou – English p'''ou'''t ====Syllabic Structure==== :Cironean organizes its phonemes very flexibly. There is no general format that morphemes tend to follow; '''however''', there are certain consonantal phonemes that '''do not''' appear together '''under any circumstances'''. Those are listed below. *C *F *H *J *QU *V *W *Y *Z :Consonantal phonemes may cluster at the beginning of words or syllables. These are the permissible initial clusters in Cironean: #B and C - can form clusters with L and R #D, G, P, and T - can form clusters with R #S - can form clusters with C and T :Stress rules in Cironean are similar to those in Redhrácic. Words of a single syllable are unaccented, while words of two to five syllables stress the antepenult. Those words of six syllables or more stress the second syllable as well as the antepenult. ==Grammar== ===Nouns=== : Nouns in Cironean are inflected and organized into four declensions. While there is some aspect of grammatical gender behind this organization (i.e., the first declension is "feminine," the second declension is "masculine," the third is "neuter") this is not strictly adhered to (e.g., the fourth declension is "mixed" in terms of gender). Generally speaking, personal nouns such as proper names are declined according to the actual gender of the antecedent. : As to the mechanics of nouns: Nouns in Cironean are declined into four cases - nominative, genitive, predicative, and prepositive. The nominative and genitive cases are so named because they correspond substantially to the Indo-European versions of those cases. The predicative case is used for any direct object of a verb, inclusive of the copulae (see Appendix II) and the objects of passive verbs. Thus, a literal translation of a passive Cironean sentence is grammatically incorrect in English: "I am called by you" is literally "Me am called by you." ====1st Declension: “Feminine” Nouns Ending in –Ó==== Model: Rethró, language {| border=1 | Case |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- | Nominative | Rethró | Rethróth |- | Genitive | Rethroi | Rethroith |- |Predicative |Rethrou |Rethrouth |- |Prepositive | Rethroe | Rethroeth |} ====2nd Declension: “Masculine” Nouns Ending in –E==== Model: Alve, house {| border=1 | Case |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- | Nominative | Alve | Alven |- | Genitive | Alvei | Alvein |- | Predicative | Alveu | Alveun |- | Prepositive | Alveó | Alveón |} ====3rd Declension: “Neuter” Nouns Ending in –U==== Model: Oithu, mountain {| border=1 | Case |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- | Nominative | Oithu | Oithus |- | Genitive | Oithui | Oithuis |- | Predicative | Oithue | Oithues |- | Prepositive | Oithua | Oithuas |} ====4th Declension: “Mixed” Nouns Ending in Consonants==== Model: Athen, man {| border=1 | Case |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- | Nominative | Athen | Atheni |- | Genitive | Athena | Athenam |- | Predicative | Athenu | Athenum |- | Prepositive | Athene | Athenem |} ===Adjectives=== : There are two forms of adjectives. The first form takes endings from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Declensions, taking these endings according to the gender, number, and case of the substantive that is being modified. This holds true regardless of the declension of the noun, i.e., a type-1 adjective can modify a 4th Declension masculine noun by taking the 2nd Declension forms of the noun in question, e.g. Athen thane, a tall man. Similarly, the second type takes the endings of the 4th Declension, modifying a noun with these endings regardless of the form of the noun itself. Comparison of Adjectives: :The four degrees of comparison are the positive, comparative, α-superlative ("very"), and β-superlative ("most'). They are indicated by affixing the following particles to the adjective: Pos: — Comp: af(a)- α-sup: ef(e)- β-sup: of(o)- ===Pronouns=== : Pronouns are placeholders for nouns in a spoken or written sentence. They correspond to their antecedents in person, number, case, and (in the case of third-person pronouns) gender. They are declined below. ====Personal Pronouns==== =====1st Person Pronoun===== {| border=1 | Case |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- | Nominative | Shó | Shol |- | Genitive | Shoe |Shoel |- | Predicative | Shou | Shoül |- | Prepositive | Shoi | Shoïl |} =====2nd Person Pronoun===== {| border=1 | Case |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- | Nominative | The | Thech |- | Genitive | Thea | Theach |- | Predicative | Theó | Theóch |- | Prepositive | Theu | Theuch |} =====3rd Person Pronoun===== {| border=1 | Case |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- | Nominative | Eó, Ie, Eu | Eóth, Ien, Eus |- | Genitive | Eoi, Iei, Eue | Eoith, Iein, Eues |- | Predicative | Eou, Ieu, Eui | Eouth, Ieun, Euis |- | Prepositive | Eoe, Ieó, Eua | Eoeth, Ieón, Euas |} ====Other Pronouns (Can Also Serve as Adjectives)==== *Proximate (This, These) ruó, rue, raü; declined like 3rd personal pronoun *Distant (That, Those) eruó, erue, eraü; declined like 3rd personal pronoun *Relative Pronouns (Who, Which) tuó, tue, taü; declined like 3rd personal pronoun *Interrogative Pronouns (Who, What, Which [adj]) duó, due, daü; declined like 3rd personal pronoun *Intensive Pronouns (Emphatics) cuó, cue, caü; declined like 3rd personal pronoun *Reflexive Pronouns (-self) suó, sue, saü; declined like 3rd personal pronoun ===Verbs=== Verbs in Cironean are inflected, but less rigidly so than the nouns. There is generally a tense particle, as well as a particle differentiating the subjunctive from the indicative mood. A few brief notes before listing the conjugations: :Verbal nouns fulfill the function of the infinitive in Cironean. :Sentence structure in Cironean is almost always VSO, although poetic syntax tends to deviate from this in certain settings. :The final three tenses are considered to be "emphatics," whereas the first three are "simple." This means, e.g., that the future perfect tense is also considered the "promissory" tense, as it suggests a claim or determination to complete an action at some point in the future. ====The 1st Conjugation: Roots Ending in –A, -O/-Ó, or –U + Consonant==== Model/Imperative: Rath, See Principal Forms: Rath (Imperative); Rathran (Verbal Noun); Rathion (Analytic) {| border=1 | Tense |align=center| 1st S |align=center| 2nd S |align=center| 3rd S |align=center| 1st Pl |align=center| 2nd Pl |align=center| 3rd Pl |- | Present (S) | Root + ash | Analytic + the | Analytic + eó | Root + oish | Analytic + thech |Analytic + eóth |- | Past (S) | Root + il + ash | Analytic + il + the | Analytic + il + eó | Root + il + oish | Analytic + il + thech | Analytic + il + eóth |- | Future (S) | Pres.

There is no gender, number, or case to match, and the tense, person, mood, and voice are not mimicked. Comparison of adverbs utilizes the same prefixes as the comparison of adjectives. ==Appendix I: Numerals== Cironean mathematics operates within a base-10 framework.

The Chief Trader's mansion is located there, as are many of the banks and the [[Shivrashan Stock Exchange]]. It originally included most of the city-state's administration, but the bureaucracy has gradually migrated to other districts leaving the Old City to finance and business, as well as some luxury homes. Middle- and lower-class residents have long since been driven out by rising real estate values. [[Category:Districts of Shivrashan]] Category:Districts of Shivrashan 3477 16377 2006-11-21T23:27:15Z Christina 18 [[Category:Shivrashan]] Trans-Fantasta 3478 33229 2008-06-21T07:54:00Z Christina 18 The term '''Trans-Fantasta''' has been used for two entities. == The Republic of the Trans-Fantasta == The '''Republic of the Trans-Fantasta''' is the modern term for the portion of the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire]] north of the [[Fantasta Mountains]] after the [[Shivrashan Crisis]]. It was a ''de facto'' state within the Empire. At the time, it was generally known simply as the "Trans-Fantasta Provinces" or the "Far East Provinces", or occassionally as the Viceroyalty of Shivrashan. In theory, it was an integral portion of the Kasshi Empire, with Shivrashan administering the trans-Fantastan provinces on behalf of the Empress. In practice, however, it was a fully sovereign state which paid a nominal tribute of 1,728 ''saklachi'' per year to [[Ivets]]. The supreme ruler of the state was the [[Chief Trader of Shivrashan]], elected for life by the Council of Traders and Merchants. The Chief Trader also held the title of Viceroy of the Trans-Fantasta. Membership on said Council was, in principle, open to any citizen of Shivrashan with a certain minimum wealth. Each province was governed by a Governor appointed by the Chief Trader in his or her capacity as Viceroy, and the Governors in turn were advised by a council of local nobles. == The Empire of the Trans-Fantasta == In 98 ShE, following the [[Second Kalpanian War]], Shivrashan broke off all connection with the Kasshi Empire, transforming the provinces under its control into the Empire of the Trans-Fantasta, also known as the Shivrashan Empire. At its height, the Empire included the entire [[Kalpanian Sea]] and significant territories inland, which brought tremendous wealth to the City-State. Over time, however, its territories were gradually eroded, some breaking away, and others conquered by the [[Blafu Union]]. Eventually, the City-State was forced to pledge fealty to the Blafu. This change in status barely impeded its economic position, however. While Blafu did demand considerable tribute, they did not interfere with the economic affairs of the city. And by renouncing military interest in its former possessions, the city's once-feared army could be disbanded, at significant savings. [[Category:Kasshi History]] [[Category:Shivrashan]] Freedom Avenue 3479 23225 2007-07-12T22:30:55Z Christina 18 '''Freedom Avenue''' is a major highway in [[Shivrashan]], connecting the ports of [[Freeport]] with the [[Grand Avenue of Commerce]], which crosses the [[Fantasta Mountains]]. By a quirk of history, the road itself is legally considered part of the District of Freeport all the way up to its joining with the Grand Avenue, despite extending many miles past the District limits. In addition, homes and businesses built on the road itself are considered under Freeport administration, following Freeport's ordinances. This quirk stems back to the very founding of Freeport, at the time called Slaveport. The Avenue was, at this time, referred to as Slave Road. Slaveport and Slave Road owed their existence to a law forbidding the presence of slaves within Shivrashan itself. As a result, slavers took their merchandise to nearby ports, and established a road around the city limits. As the city grew, crossing the road, the road continued to be legally reckoned as being outside the city. It was eventually renamed Freedom Avenue, along with the renaming of Slaveport to Freeport, sometime after the abolition of slavery. [[Category:Shivrashan]] [[Category:Transportation]] Grand Avenue of Commerce 3480 16396 2006-11-22T03:52:57Z Christina 18 The '''Grand Avenue of Commerce''' in [[Shivrashan]] is a key highway running through the middle of the city, from the [[Shivrashan Pass]] to the main ports in the [[Old City (Shivrashan)|Old City]]. The Avenue has long been a crucial lifeline for the city, and remains significant, along with the [[Grand Shivrashan Railroad]].

Along with [[Taiberseimi-dego]], it is one of the more established shopping districts in the city, and has also gained worldwide fame in that regard. The name ''Taibergute'' literally means "below the bridge", and refers to the area south of [[Soruta Bridge]], which is the oldest bridge across [[Gardaus Bay]].

Its capital is the city of [[Mitanas]]. Being one of the provinces situated around Enibase Bay with its rich natural resources and relative suitability for agriculture, the area that now forms the province has a long history of settlement and civilisation. During the era of the [[Hesgarigani]], as well as before that, it was a major centre of Mirsel civilisation, and its cities were larger than even the ones within the [[Feladmena Plain]].

It is the smallest province of Masalne by area, and borders [[Enimdanoi Province]] to its east, [[Horeston Province]] to its south, [[Abanamide Province]] to its east and [[Baseniga Province]] to its north, while facing [[Enibase Bay]] to its west as well. Its capital is the city of [[Iburenori]]. Famed for its hilly landscape and extensive forests, Ofalna was historically given the title of ''Iburedenai'', or "Forest Province"; even now its capital's name translates simply to Forest City. While it was once an economic backwater, it attained a reputation as being a vacationing spot for the nobles of [[Masal]], analogous to the coast of [[Eonis Province]] for [[Rarena]]; even now many of these mansions, some of which are several centuries old, still stand in the mountains. Ofalna has also often been called the "Womb of Poetry", having garnered a reputation as an artistic and literary centre that still stands today. ==Geography== Ofalna Province lies in the path of the [[Nagenahormagos]], the range of mountains branching southeast from the [[Mathormagos]] and stretching through Ofalna to neighbouring Horeston and Ngaba provinces. As a result it has a highly different terrain from much of the rest of the south; mountainous and forested, it plays host to a large array of wildlife and plants, many of which are endemic to Masalne. At the same time the foothills of these mountains are home to some of the oldest rice terraces in the country, estimated to have dated from around 100 DN, and most of which are still in use today. Some of the most famous geographical attractions of the country include the so-called "Writer's Hill" of [[Mount Tasodeni]], situated in the centre of the province and whose slopes and forests have seen many famous writers from [[Surove ke Kanisda]] to [[Ageteri Malyer]]; the area of the mountain includes 5 small lakes, several streams, and has often been described as the Garden of the Gods. ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Iburenori]], the provincial capital *[[Kaitetaiber]], the site of the famous [[Unversity of Kaitetaiber]] ==Famous Locations== *[[Mount Tasodeni]] [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Haisna Aunafurasa 3489 16440 2006-11-23T05:48:11Z Sirica 257 The '''Haisna Aunafurasa''', meaning the Song-Compilation of Haisna in [[Mirselec]], is an important anthology of poetry from the [[Karelne ta Hyerisa]] in [[Risevan history]]; compiled by [[Haisna ke Odomunda]] in around the late 10th century DN, it compiled the poems known as ''Auna'', or songs, a form of Mirselec poetry derived from the older Menata. Though the Haisna Aunafurasa is one of the most famous and renowned poetry anthologies in the modern view, it was most striking during its period for the fact that it was not ordered or commissioned by any royal family amongst the kingdoms of the time; within the preface, written also by Haisna, only a few local lords were mentioned as having "aided with the work". This lack of official support had the curious effect of freeing the compiler from censorship, and as a result the poems within include many love poems that are not present within most other anthologies and provide considerable social insights. ==History of the Text== Study of the text is hindered by a lack of exact knowledge of how many pieces exactly there were within the Aunafurasa; this problem is exacerbated by the fact that there were at least three editions, four if one counts an official and highly censored version; all of these editions have different numbers of poems. ==Works and Study== ==Influence and Impact== [[category:Mirselec literature]] [[category:Important Risevan texts]] Cuisine of Risevne 3490 16476 2006-11-24T03:29:17Z Christina 18 The '''cuisine of Risevne''' has a long history parallel to that of the development of civilisation within the country, since early in the DN period, with the rise of feudal and royal states across the islands of [[Masalne]] and [[Agalmare]] and the influx of cultural influences from mainland [[Osonde]].

Its capital is the city of [[Durimaye, Abanamide|Durimaye]]. Abanamide was arguably the first major site of Mirsel civilisation, before changing climatic conditions prompted the southward move into the [[Feladmena Plain]] and eventually the [[Raretoya Peninsula]]; some earliest sites of the [[Narusgerya Culture]], as well as another indigenous culture endemic to Abanamide and Osbane, date back to around 5,000 DN (in comparison the type site of the Narusgerya Culture in [[Isana]] is in fact a mid-Narusgerya site, dating from around 3,100 DN). In later years, Abanamide was a major base of the [[Hesgarigani]] kingdoms and an important political centre even into the 11th and 12th centuries; the city of Negusai was, and still is, sometimes known as ''Sideisana'' or "Little Capital". ==Geography== ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Durimaye, Abanamide|Durimaye]], the provincial capital *[[Negusai]], the former capital of several kingdoms ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Awenhine remis 3492 16969 2006-12-03T10:10:52Z Sirica 257 ''''Awenhine remis''', literally "Bay East District" in [[Mirselec]], is an [[Areas and Districts of Isana|Area]] in [[Isana]]; as its name suggests, it lies along the east coast of [[Gardaus Bay]], almost along its whole length from the mouth of the [[Rushalya river]] to the bay's opening into the sea. The area was formerly on the outskirts of old Isana, outside the walls and home to the burgeoning merchant class of the city; as the city expanded to include the Bay in the early 19th century, and more importantly as the [[Ibakizaro]] began, the entire centre of gravity of the city was shifted south and the bay district became the heart of the city, where the government was relatively sheltered from the industry to the west of the bay. Presently Awenhine is the financial and commercial heart of the city, as well as the entire country. It is the site of the [[Risevan Stock Exchange]], as well as the headquarters of more than 200 major financial companies and banks, situated in such famous neighbourhoods as [[Baroye]], [[Ekusinada]] and [[Bastenal]]; at the same time, even as many of these companies are gradually moving south into the [[Hirsa remis|Henoris]] area, Awenhine is rapidly taking on a role as a cultural centre as well. ==Site and Situation== Modern day Awenhine stretches along the length of the east shore of Gardaus Bay, from the mouth of the [[Rushalya river]] in the north to [[Henoris Extension]] in the south. While the highly developed areas are farther north, near the old economic centres that have been operating as such since the mid 18th century, the entire area is highly built up and contains the headquarters of most institutions based within the city. ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== Awenhine remis is divided into 6 districts, all lying adjacent to each other along Gardaus Bay.

At the time, the capital was [[Ivets]], which remains the Imperial capital. The capital was built to satisfy [[Dzesa]]'s desire for a majestic city and scorn for the traditional culture of Ivets, as well as to avoid the Empress' influence. At the time of its construction, several small towns existed in the area designated for the city. Those towns were demolished, with the people relocated, at Imperial cost, to other cities. Dzesa then set out to build a city of massive monumental buildings. Many of the buildings were damaged or destroyed during the [[Global War]], but were rebuilt at tremendous cost. [[Category:Kasshi Cities]] Imperial Chan 3495 46721 2009-06-30T06:24:58Z Christina 18 /* Some figures */ The '''Imperial [[Chan]]''' is the currency of the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Kasshi Empire]] and several of its allies. The name is ultimately derived from that of [[Chalanya]], the founder of the [[Second Kasshi Empire]]. It is divided into 15 ''vezh'', each of which are divided into 12 ''zash'', in turn, historically, divided into 16 ''vi'', though inflation has since eliminated the ''vi'' as a unit. Thus, the complete system was 1 chan = 15 vezh = 180 zash = 2,880 vi. It was inherited from the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire]], with its value restored at the time of the founding of the Fifth Empire. Inflation has reduced the value to some degree, but it remains a fairly significant amount of money. When writing out monetary figures, special characters are used for each unit. Prices are given in chan, vezh, and zash, though it is common to use fractions for multiples of 3 zash. E.g., it is common to say "2¾ vezh" rather than "2 vezh 9 zash", and one would never say "33 zash" Prices are usually round numbers. Thus, a price of 3 vezh is more likely than one of 2 vezh 11 zash. As with all terms referring to units of measurement in [[Ivetsian]], there is no distinction between singular and plural with monetary terms. == Coins == *''Vi'' (discontinued) *''{{frac|1|8}} Zash'' (discontinued) *¼ Zash *½ Zash (''onzash'') *Zash *3 Zash (''zassash'') *6 Zash *Vezh *3 Vezh *5 Vezh *''½ Chan'' (discontinued) *Chan (rare) The quarter- and half-zash coins are made of aluminum. The zash is copper, while the 3-zash, 6-zash, and vezh are copper-nickel, historically silver. In 756, during the Global War, they were first replaced with copper-nickel. In 765, silver mintage was resumed. They were reduced to 50% silver in 780, and then to copper-nickel in 803. Originally, the 3 vezh, ½-chan, and chan were made of gold, but during the [[Global War]], the gold coins were replaced with banknotes, with silver coins introduced to replace them in 768. Today, those remain the only silver coins in circulation. The ½-chan coin and bill were recently replaced with the silver 5-vezh coin. The vi and {{frac|1|8}} zash coins were discontinued in 803. == Banknotes == *''¼ Vezh'' (Produced during Global War, still legal tender, but rarely seen) *''½ Vezh'' (Produced during Global War, still legal tender, but rarely seen) *''Vezh'' (Produced during Global War, still legal tender, but rarely seen) *''3 Vezh'' (Produced during Global War, still legal tender, but rarely seen) *''½ Chan'' (Recently discontinued) *Chan *3 Chan *5 Chan *''6 Chan'' *10 Chan *''12 Chan'' *25 Chan Historically, banknotes came in the denominations of 3, 6, and 12 chan.

During this period, some of the most distinctive features of the modern Risevan economy, including the government-linked [[Kuborisna]] conglomerates, first came into being. The Durosirase is often called the Second or Great [[Ibakizaro]], in a reference to the earlier period of rapid economic growth and industrialisation between the Restoration and the [[First Global War]]; its success was widely viewed as one of the economic miracles of the world during the period, but it has also provoked much controversy for the Risevan government's use of its postwar position to gain economic leverage for the growth. ==Background== ==Governmental Role== ===The Ministry of Trade, Development and Industry=== First formed in 1948, just after the end of the War, as a coordinating office with the orignial mandate of managing the transition to a peacetime economy as well as stimulating industrial and economic recovery, the [[Risevan Ministry of Trade, Development and Industry]] would prove an instrumental agency in the success of the Risevan economy. ===The Kuborisna=== ==External Influences== ==Social Impact== ==International Impact and Controversy== ==Notes== ==See Also== *[[Irnenoye Accord]] *[[Sebaya Treaty]] [[category:History of Risevne]] Risevan 3498 16505 2006-11-24T06:48:00Z Sirica 257 Redirecting to [[Risevne]] #REDIRECT [[Risevne]] Category:Nrastaist Supreme Matriarchs 3499 16543 2006-11-25T07:08:09Z Christina 18 [[Category:Nrastaism|Supreme Matriarchs]] [[Category:Rulers]] Galhafan Chronology 3500 41472 2009-01-03T03:39:13Z Christina 18 The most common chronology on [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]] today is the Odiran Era. 1 OE is the year that [[Navesh]] captured [[Shivrashan]], beginning the [[Era of East-West Contact]]. == Kasshi Year Counts == *[[Chinrasta's Theocracy]] **YP = Year of Paradise - the era preceding the Ignorance, according to [[Nrastaism|Nrastaist]] theology, an era of bliss destroyed when the Rebels entered the world and corrupted it; said to have lasted 1,728 (12<sup>3</sup>) years **YW = Year of the World - Dated from the supposed creation of the world; 1 YW = 1 YP **YI = Year of Ignorance - the era preceding the Revelation; said to have lasted 20,736 (12<sup>4</sup>) years. 1 YI = 1729 YP **YF = Year of Faith - Years beginning with the Revelation. 1 YF = 20,737 YI = 22,465 YW *[[Second Kasshi Empire]] **BE = Before the Empire - years preceding [[Chalanya]]'s enthronement; this was rarely used at the time.

[[Category:Galhafan History|*]] Chalanya 3501 40265 2008-11-28T08:03:59Z Christina 18 '''Chalanya''' (25 [[Galhafan Chronology|BE]]-123 IE) was the founder of the [[Second Kasshi Empire]]. == Early Life == Chalanya was born in a small village outside of what was then known as [[Ivets|Ibettu]], which was, at that time, an important member of [[Chinrasta's Theocracy|the Nrastaist theocracy]], a declining confederation. The [[Nrastaism|Nrastaist]] states were asserting greater independence from the [[Nrastaist Supreme Matriarch|Supreme Matriarch]], and the religion itself was in decline. In the year 5 BE (according to tradition), a young 20-year-old girl (note: 20 [[Galhafan year]]s = 14 Earth years) had a vision of a Divinity claiming that she was the reincarnation of [[Chinrasta]] herself. The Divinity commanded her to revive the Faith. She began proclaiming her visions, and convinced the local priestess of her legitimacy. Soon, her message spread throughout the neighborhood of Ibettu, and, in 3 BE, she entered Ibettu itself, and announced her message to the [[Council of Twelve]], who had already been informed of her work. The Council had decided that she would be useful in reviving the Faith among the people, and they proclaimed her the Supreme Matriarch. Later that same year, the people of Ibettu overthrew their queen, and proclaimed her Queen of Ibettu. Two years later, the leaders of several Nrastaist states proclaimed their fealty to Chalana as their Queen, and the Second Kasshi Empire was officially founded. == Reign == Initially, Chalana was little more than a puppet of the Council, but gradually she asserted greater independence, and eventually dismissed the entire Council and hand-picked a new one. She centralized her empire, using the threat posed by the [[Sanle Empire]] to justify her actions. She also came into conflict with the religious leadership, particularly when she placed several of her daughters and granddaughters on the Council of Twelve. She laid the foundation for the Empire, and, after 96 years of rule, she formally resigned, allowing the [[Imperial Family Council]], an institution which she had established in the year 43 IE and to which she had gradually delegated authority, to select her successor, as both [[Kasshi Empress|Empress]] and Supreme Matriarch, though she also made her preference for [[Chila]] well-known. == Retirement == During her formal retirement, she retained considerable authority, and, in response to renewed conflict between the Council of Twelve and the Empress, was able to negotiate a new relationship between the Empress and the Supreme Matriarch, persuading Chila to step down as Supreme Matriarch. An agreement was made that no Imperial Princess could sit on the Council of Twelve. In the year 123 IE, at the age of 148 [105 Earth years], she passed away. {| border="1" align="center" cellpadding=3 class=bordertable style="background:#eeeeee" |- align="center" |width="30%"|Preceded by:<br>'''None''' |width="40%"|'''[[Kasshi Empress|Empress]]'''<br>1-96 IE |width="30%" rowspan="2"|Succeeded by:<br>'''[[Chila]]''' |- align="center" |width="30%"|Preceded by:<br>'''?''' |width="40%"|'''[[Nrastaist Supreme Matriarch|Supreme Matriarch]]'''<br>3 BE-96 IE |} [[Category:Empresses of the Second Kasshi Empire]] [[Category:Nrastaist Supreme Matriarchs]] Tannaean Sample Text Corpus 3502 16519 2006-11-25T03:44:24Z Denihilonihil 119 This page lists available [[Tannaean language|Tannaean]] texts, alongside their translations and in some cases their pronunciations in IPA. ===Excerpt from ''Tännaa Leimy'', [[Otäära Kotoka]]=== {| border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" |- ! bgcolor=#dfdfdf | Tannaean ! bgcolor=#dfdfdf | English |- | width=50% valign=top | Tännaa leimy su, tyvettä legä simäät ännu ha hunáaki keimö mennekööny kikeenö.

While outspoken in his books, Kotoka is well-known to be laconic in real life, preferring to keep a low public profile even while he wrote numerous impassioned articles, letters and essays in support of making [[Tannaean language|Tannaean]], his native tongue, an official language of [[Tannaea (province)|Tannaea]] province. With the sole exception of his first book, ''[[Viodh (book)|Viodh]]'', which was written in the [[Arithide language|Arithide]], he wrote exclusively in Tannaean, and in 1990 [[CIE]] published ''Tonoko'', the Tannaean translation of ''Viodh'', and withdrew all remaining unsold copies of ''Viodh'' from circulation. In a bitter irony that paralleled the end of [[Sukura Mekoona]], a character from ''[[So (book)|So]]'', the absurdist novel for which he is most famous and which departs the most from his usual style and subject matter, Kotoka was murdered the evening of his 48th birthday on the busy Pänno Street in [[Tannea]], walking past a patisserie, as his usual evening stroll took him, when his assailant hit the back of his head with a large rock and tied his hands around a lamppost in a hugging position. According to eyewitness accounts, bystanders "simply were bystanders&mdash;they just stood gaping, and when I finally rushed over his attacker was already gone"{{footnote|1}}. His death sparked outrage and condemnation, and a vigil held two days later degenerated into violent demonstrations at the provocation of unidentified persons, apparently of [[Tannaean Unionist Party|Unionist]] affiliation, who threw a small petrol bomb into the crowd in the middle of the minute-long silence, yelling out "Retribution for devolution", before taking off and leaving an [[Flag of Arithia|Arithian flag]] behind.

While long relegated to the privacy of homes and unofficial correspondence in favour of the more widely-spoken and economically viable [[Arithide language]], especially during the [[Lazeian Empire#Neira dynasty|Neira dynasty]], modern [[Regionalism in Arithia|regionalism]] and devolution by the central government have led to its reestablishment as [[Official languages of Arithia|official language]] of the province, and [[Tannaean revivalism|revivalist movements]] have undertaken the colossal task of translating numerous terms of politics, administration, science, philosophy etc. into Tannaean where once was used the Arithide. ==History== The history and development of the Tannaean language has been extensively affected by the many sound-shifts it has undergone. The most important of them include, in reverse order, the devoicing of many consonants especially in word-initial and word-final position, the simplification of consonant clusters and the harmonisation of word stress, all of which served to dramatically reduce the phonotactic repertoire of the language, and contributed to widespread lexical shift. It is unknown when Tannaean split from the rest of the [[Maric languages#East Maric|East Maric languages]], as distinctively Tannaean written records survive only from less than 2,000 years ago, after the [[Areth]] expanded into the region, bringing with them the [[Lazeic alphabet]], which was subsequently adapted for the language. Despite the added facility of writing, however, Tannaean constantly lost ground to [[Arithide language|Arithide]], which was more prestigious and which was the lingua franca throughout the [[Lazeian Empire]], and practically the only language used for government, commerce and academia. When the empire collapsed, however, instead of bringing about a Tannaean renaissance, the locally spoken Arithide variant gained ascendancy, particularly so under the [[Unified Arithia|reunified Arithian kingdom]] established in 1336 [[CIE]], and eventually eclipsed Tannaean until the modern era, when devolution gained traction in the Arithian political scene, and education, among other governmental functions, was largely devolved to the provinces in 1982 [[CIE]]. [[Tannaean revivalism|Tannaean revivalists]] campaigned successfully for the reinstatement of a standardised, [[Nativisation (Ilethes)|nativised]] form of the language, based on the [[Tannea]]n dialect, as an official language of the province in 1984 [[CIE]], by which time a [[Dictionary of the Modern Tannaean Language|dictionary]] of terms and such needed for modern use was nearing completion. Official documents were subsequently translated, and the first cohort of students who received their education in Tannaean graduated from high school in 2002 [[CIE]]. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== Voiceless consonants dominate voiced ones in Tannaean, partially due to the devoicing process that began more than six hundred years ago. That sound-change affected all consonants word-initially and word-finally, and later all consonants not surrounded by vowels or the sonorants. Certain southern dialects have taken the process further, devoicing all consonants except the sonorants, while in the north voiced consonants are still widely heard where they have been lost in the standard. Tannaean consonants may occur singly, geminately, or as a member of two. No consonant cluster consists of more than two non-geminate consonants; also, geminate consonants never occur in a cluster. {| style="background: #efefef; border: 1pt #afafaf solid" ! !bilabial !labiodental !dental !alveolar !palatal !velar !glottal |- !nasal |{{IPA|m}} | |{{IPA|n}} | | |{{IPA|ŋ}} | |- !plosive |{{IPA|p}}, {{IPA|b}} | |{{IPA|t}}, {{IPA|d}} | | |{{IPA|k}}, {{IPA|g}} | |- !fricative | |{{IPA|f}}, {{IPA|v}} | |{{IPA|s}} | | |{{IPA|h}} |- !trill | | | |{{IPA|r}} | | |- !lateral | | | |{{IPA|l}} | | |- !approximant | |{{IPA|w}} | | |{{IPA|j}} | |} ===Vowels=== The Tannaean phonemic vowels number 16: the short ''a, ä, e, i, o, ö, u, y'' {{IPA|[a, æ, e, i, o, ø, u, y]}} and their respective long counterparts; among these [e] and [o] occasionally allomorph to [ɛ] and [ɔ]. Tannaean no longer has any phonemic diphthongs, and while the orthography does not use the relatively modern [[Arithide language|Arithide]] inventions, the letters &lt;[[Jā (letter)|j]]&gt; and &lt;[[Wā (letter)|w]]&gt;, instead preferring to retain &lt;[[Iopha (letter)|i]]&gt; and &lt;[[Utos (letter)|u]]&gt;, historic diphthongs have been reanalysed with the respective semivowels. ====Vowel harmony==== Some degree of vowel harmony by frontness is seen in Tannaean. Grammatical endings are the most obvious example for this, each ending having two alternative forms, one "front" and the other "back", although their application is obstructed by the interposition of a geminate consonant or of more than one consonant. At the same time, while words do not necessarily harmonise stem-internally, the majority does. ===Orthography=== Tannaean follows a purely phonetic spelling system, with one letter to each sound, and one sound to each letter, using the letters of the [[Lazeic alphabet]] as in standard [[Modern Arithide]], with one exception&mdash;that of the semivowels as mentioned above&mdash; and one difference: Tannaean, instead of repesenting long vowels with diacritics as in Arithide, doubles the vowel letter. In Romanisation, the same practice has been adopted, with one exception, that of the (rare) letter &lt;[[Ang (letter)|ŋ]]&gt;, which is, as with most other languages, represented by the digraph &lt;ng&gt;, and by the trigraph &lt;nng&gt; when geminate or doubled, for clarity. ==Prosody== Tannaean is a stress-accented language, and with the exception of certain bisyllabic words, stress in each word falls according to a hierarchy outlined as follows. Stress never falls on the ultimate syllable, which is exceptionlessly the grammatical ending; it also always falls on the penult or the antepenult&mdash;another feature distinguishing it from other [[Maric languages]] and ascribed to Arithide influence. Where two similarly ranked syllables occur in a word, the syllable closer to the end of the word receives stress. ::#Syllables with both a long vowel and a coda ::#Syllables with long vowels or codas ::#Vowels in the following, descending order: ''a, ä, e, ö, o, i, y, u'' (i.e. by openness, frontness and roundness) ==Grammar== Due mostly to the standardisation campaign, which sought to iron out regional dialectal differences in favour of a standard tongue, much of the irregularity of Tannaean grammar has been eliminated, although they still persist in everyday speech and some literature. Newspapers and the rest of the mass media have generally adopted the new rules, as have most public figures, but idiosyncrasy still makes its mark occasionally in public life, and is not usually remarked upon. Unlike most other members of the [[Maric languages|Maric family]], Tannaean is an SOV language, and inflects for case, albeit to a limited degree, features which most linguists acsribe to areal influence from the long-dominant [[Arithide language]]. Words take either of two endings (in most cases) depending on the frontness of the next-to-last vowel: if it is a back vowel, or a front vowel separated from the ending by more than one consonant or a geminate consonant, it takes the "back ending"; if it is a front vowel, separated from the ending either not at all or only by a single non-geminate vowel, it takes the "front ending". ===Nouns=== Excepting the few most common irregularly declined ones, as well as pronouns, nouns, previously declined in a multitude of irregularly governed ways, have collapsed into a single declension class, declined for three cases&mdash;the nominative, the genitive and the oblique, which also doubles as the accusative case&mdash;and two numbers, singular and plural. {| style="background: #efefef; border: 1pt #afafaf solid" !width=40| ||colspan=2 width=120| Back vowel<br>''mano'' "person" ||colspan=2 width=120| Front vowel<br>''tyvö'' "tree" ||colspan=2 width=120| Multiple consonants<br>''sängo'' "voice, sound" |- | || sg. || pl. || sg. || pl. || sg. || pl. |- | '''nom.''' || ''man'''o''''' || ''man'''a''''' || ''tyv'''ö''''' || ''tyv'''ä''''' || ''säng'''o''''' || ''säng'''a''''' |- | '''gen.''' || ''man'''utta''''' || ''man'''että''''' || ''tyv'''yttä''''' || ''tyv'''että''''' || ''säng'''utta''''' || ''säng'''että''' |- | '''obl.''' || ''man'''u''''' || ''man'''e''''' || ''tyv'''y''''' || ''tyv'''e''''' || ''säng'''u''''' || ''säng'''e''''' |} ==See also== *[[Tannaean Sample Text Corpus]] {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Pisex Treaty 3507 16540 2006-11-25T06:52:44Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Pisex Treaty''' was a treaty of friendship signed in the town of [[Pisex]] in [[Dethria]] in 1910 [[CIE]] that formed a [[Pisex Alliance|military alliance]] between Dethria, [[Arithia]], [[Zesou]], [[Orantia]] and [[Taber]], and opened up large portions of each signatory's national markets to one another.

It borders [[Osagona Province]] to its north, [[Baseniga Province]] to its northeast and east, and [[Abanamide Province]] to its south. Its capital is the city of [[Neti]]. Osbane's history is tied intimately to the sea, as well as to its wealth of metals; the area was known to contain deposits of silver since the 5th century DN, a discovery that led to its being a major focal point in regional conflicts. Politically dominated by kingdoms from Abanamide for a long period, the area then became a major fief of [[Masal]] as it united the entire island, due both to its silver and lucrative salt fish trade. Osbane's major cities suffered very serious bombing during the [[Fourth Global War]], and were later an important focus of the [[Durosirase]], when efforts were made to diversify the economy of the province. In the present day Osbane is one of the more affluent provinces of the country, and a major attraction for foreign investment and tourism. ==Geography== ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Neti]], the provincial capital ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Suninas 3509 16550 2006-11-25T07:19:01Z Sirica 257 '''Suninas''' (713-787) was a famous [[Risevan]] poet and religious figure of the 8th century DN, famous for his poems critiquing society of the time and concerning religious matters; his fame was such that he was deified as a [[Mirsel religion|Great Spirit]] of poetry, since the 13th and 14th centuries.

It consists of a number of Elected Advisers, each assigned to a particular specialty, and elected by the professionals in said specialty. For example, the Agricultural Advisors are elected by the farmers of the Empire, divided into Agricultural Voting Districts. Likewise, the Health Advisers are elected by the doctors of the Empire, divided into Medical Voting Districts. Each group of Advisers elects one of their members as a Minister for their specialty, as a cabinet. It is lead by a [[First Adviser]], of which [[Dzesa]] was the first. The First Adviser is the ''de facto'' ruler of the Empire. The Council of Elected Advisers is a reflection of Dzesa's belief that the ideal system of government is that of an absolute leader advised by experts, not a system where the common people are expected to make decisions about areas they know nothing of.

It is descended from [[Classical Kasshian]] and is largely an inflectional language. == Genders == Ivetsian has six or eight genders, depending on how you count. Ivetsian's genders are descended from those of Classical Kasshian, and are numbered according to the common system in [[Kasshian languages]] of using the numbers of the classical tongue. In Modern Ivetsian, gender agreement is found in verbs, demonstratives, articles, adjectives, and pronouns. Unlike the classical language, there is no correlation between initial consonants and gender. *I. Animals with cultural significance, except males of sex-differentiable animals *IIa. Male humans *IIb. Males of culturally-significant sex-differentiable animals, some animals seen as "masculine" *IV. Most other higher animals *V. Insects, invertebrates, some plants, microscopic organisms *VIa. Female humans, epicine human *VIb. Most inanimates *VII. A few inanimate objects IIa and IIb, as well as VIa and VIb are commonly considered subdivisions of the same gender, and are less distinguished then other genders. In addition, gender I has been gradually absorbing gender IIb, and a few animals can be found in both. Urban dialects often blur the distinction between I and IV as well, and frequently retain gender IIb only for a few pet animals, if that. Plants are currently in the process of moving to gender V. === History of Ivetsian Gender === It will be noted from a comparison with the [[Classical Kasshian#Meanings of Genders|Classical gender system]] that significant changes have occured. These changes had their initial origin as far back as the [[Anarchic Era]], when gender III began to weaken, with gender I taking over the epicine function. Gender III was already dead in many dialects in [[Chinrasta]]'s time, though it remained strong in her dialect, which provided the dialect of the learned classes. The distinction between genders IV and V was also growing weak, and a few animals migrated between the two. This relatively minor change was dwarfed during the middle [[Second Kasshi Empire|Second Empire]] when some animals (mostly those in gender IV, but also some in gender V), frequently personified in folk tales, came to take gender I or II agreement even in ordinary speech, though they retained their original prefixes. At the same time, a practice existed in diplomatic writings of referring to heads of states by the name of their state, rather than by their own name, thus by gender VI nouns. Gender VI agreements came to be used even when using their actual names (helped by the fact that the gender-prefixes were no longer obligatory with foreign borrowings and foreign names). Gradually, the custom arose of referring to noblewomen within the Empire by the names of their territories and gender VI agreements. Gender VI came, therefore, to be seen as a mark of respect, and gradually came to extend to further groups of women. At the same time, an increasing number of animals were migrating into genders I and II. Gender I came to be dominated by animal nouns, accelerating the movement of humans out of it. Gender II remained more mixed. Sound-changes had made the singular prefixes for gender 6 null in many cases, and, as a result, it became the favored gender for borrowings, eventually weakening the distinction between genders VI adn VII, to the point where many gender VI nouns moved to gender VII. Some lower animals migrated from gender VI to gender V. In addition, carnivorous and other "active" plants moved from VI to V, and gradually other plants have begun to follow. Gender V is currently in the process of absorbing the remaining animats of gender VIb, while VIb in turn is in the process of absorbing VII. The IIa/IIb and VIa/VIb distinctions are a result of the [[Classical Kasshian#Personal Suffixes|rational/non-rational]] distinction in verbal inflections. Gender VI nouns which referred to humans (or supernatural beings) took the rational suffixes, while those not referring to humans or supernatural beings took the non-rational suffixes. This difference in verbal suffixes is the sole distinction between VIa and VIb. While some humans remained in genders I, a similar distinction between Ia and Ib existed, but Ia has since died out.

Created in 1971 [[CIE]] following the tabulation of a draft bill in the [[Parliament of Arithia|Arithian parliament]] to devolve much power and administrative functions to the regions in the face of growing [[Regionalism in Arithia|regionalism]], and in opposition to widespread local nationalism, especially to factions intent on an independent [[Eleena]] state, it seeks stronger political, economic and cultural ties to the [[Areth]]-majority mainstream of the country. The party is implicated in or has claimed responsibility for several violent incidents, the most recent of which being the 2009 [[CIE]] murder of nationalist author [[Otäära Kotoka]], where its covert involvement is suspected, and almost certain in triggering the violent riots following it. In separate incidents, the party's militant [[Leenö]] faction orchestrated attacks, bombing [[Komporaris Syrr|Parliament House]] in 1973, which killed three and pushed back passage of the [[Devolution Act]] to 1979 [[CIE]]; [[Asena Square]] of [[Tannea]] in 1990 [[CIE]] at the launch of Kotoka's Tannaean translation of ''[[Viodh (book)|Viodh]]'', which killed 133; six separate locations on polling day of the 1996 [[CIE]] [[Tannaean Plebiscite]], killing 27; releasing bromine on the [[Lazean metro]] in 1999 [[CIE]], killing 45. ==See also== *[[Tannaea]] *[[Leenö]], the militant wing of the TII *[[Bombing of Parliament House]] *[[Bombing of Asena Square]] *[[Tannaean Plebiscite]] *[[Bombing of the Lazean metro]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] [[Category: Arithia]] Leenö 3523 17323 2006-12-10T15:05:22Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Leenö''' ([[Tannaean language|Tannaean]]: "unity") is the militant faction of the extremist right-wing [[Tannaean Unionist Party]] (TII), a regional political party of [[Arithia]] fiercely supporting increased and deeper political, cultural and economic ties with the [[Areth]]-majority mainstream Arithian society, as opposed to autonomy, self-government or even independence. It was founded in 1973 as a splinter group from the TII, apparently over divisions in opinion over how best to respond to the [[Parliament of Arithia|Arithian parliament]]'s express intent to pass the [[Devolution Act]]. While the Leenö has been banned due to its violent and terrorist nature, it is still operational underground, and most recently has been suspected to have been involved in the murder of well-known nationalist author [[Otäära Kotoka]] and the riots following it, adding to its considerable list of atrocities, including the 1973 [[bombing of Parliament House]], and the 1990 [[Bombing of Asena Square|attack]] on [[Asena Square]], where Kotoka was launching his politically-sensitive [[Tannaean language|Tannaean]] translation of one of his own earlier works, ''[[Viodh (book)|Viodh]]''. Police operations in recent years have hobbled the organisation somewhat, after arresting six of its top operatives and sending its leader, [[Halema Leeiva]] into hiding. The group has not committed any further crime since 1999 [[CIE]], when they hijacked a subway train in the [[Lazean metro]] and released bromine gas into the air-conditioning system, fatally poisoning 45 and injuring many more people. Military snipers took out the three hijackers in the driver's compartment before evacuating the survivors. ==See also== *[[Tannaea]] *[[Tannaean Unionist Party]] *[[Bombing of Parliament House]] *[[Bombing of Asena Square]] *[[Tannaean Plebiscite]] *[[Bombing of the Lazean metro]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Tannaean revivalism 3524 32110 2008-06-01T17:54:04Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Origins */ '''Tannaean revivalism''' ([[Tannaean language|Tannaean]] '''''Kuuvutta Hiisanigö''''' {{IPA|['ku:vutta hi:'sanigø]}}, lit. "Revival of the Language") is a movement to promote the use and revival of the Tannaean language. It is usually considered part of the general wave of [[Regionalism in Arithia|regionalism]] that swept [[Arithia]] beginning the late 1960s [[CIE]], and on a smaller scale was part of a resuscitated nationalist drive to promote a [[Tannaea]]n national identity. ==Origins== The [[Second Wave of nationalism]] that began in [[Carabaea]] reached the [[minorities of Arithia]], whom the [[First Wave of nationalism|First Wave]] had largely missed. Beginning as a human rights movement to demand recognition from the Carabaean government of the minority [[Eshureya]] culture, the controversy it ignited sparked a renewed wave of agitation for self-determination, which in Arithia was termed the [[Regionalism in Arithia|regionalist]] movement. Recognising their distinct cultural and ethnic identity from that of the [[Areth]], Tannaean nationalists began demanding self-government and promotion of the [[Tannaean language]], which they saw as a means to an eventual end of Tannaean, or [[Eleena]], sovereignty, and which gave rise to the revivalist effort. ==Proponents== One of the most famous revivalists was the renowned author [[Otäära Kotoka]], who grew up in an atmosphere of [[Eleena]] nationalism, and went on to write extensively in support of the revivalist movement, although he stopped short of advocating independence. Along with other writers and academics such as the journalist [[Kiira Jaallii]], the physicist [[Mekes Pulanka]], and the linguist [[Eiko Vassaley]], he collaborated on the first modern dictionary of [[Tannaean language|Tannaean]], which appeared in print in 1993 [[CIE]]. ==Resistance== The [[Tannaean Unionist Party]] (TII) was and is the most visible and vocal opponent to Tannaean nationalism, of which they see revivalism of the language as the first step onto the slippery slope. Besides the extremist TII, however, most conservative and some liberal mainstream political parties also condemned regionalism as betraying the integrity of the Arithian state, which they argued was now different from the ethnocentric Arithia of pre-revolutionary and imperial times. Eventually having given way to federalism, the same factors are now strongly against further weakening of the Arithian centre, a view which is in line with contemporary opinion. ==See also== *[[Regionalism in Arithia]] *[[Tannaea (region)]], [[Tannaea (province)]] *[[Tannaean Unionist Party]] (TII) *[[Devolution Act]] of 1979 [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] Parliament of Arithia 3525 17406 2006-12-13T15:30:13Z Denihilonihil 119 :: ''This article is about [[Arithia]]'s unitary national parliament before the [[Devolution Act]] of 1979.

The unicameral '''Parliament of Arithia''' ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Komporas Syrroris''''' {{IPA|['kɔmpəras 'sʏ:rəris]}} lit. ''National Forum'') was established with the triumph of the [[Republican Revolution]] in [[Arithia]] in 1886 [[CIE]] by constitutional requirement (see [[Constitution of Arithia]]). As the ultimate political authority in the Arithide parliamentary system of government, the Komporas wielded considerable power in legislation, and, until the 1905 [[CIE]] [[Amendments of the Constitution of Arithia#Fifth Amendment (1905)|constitutional amendment]] mandating the independence of the [[Judicial system of Arithia|judiciary]], was empowered to elect the judges of the [[Supreme Court of Arithia|Supreme Court]]. The [[31st Parliament of Arithia|31st Parliament]] effectively ended its own existence with its passage of the [[Devolution Act]] in 1979 [[CIE]], recognising the "multinational character" of the Arithian state and creating autonomous national republics under a federal Arithian centre. With the Act, the ''Komporas Syrroris'' was dismantled and in its place was formed the ''[[Federal Parliament of Arithia|Komporas Lyndirraris]]'', or "Federal Forum". {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] Eleena 3526 23756 2007-07-25T03:45:58Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Names */ The '''Eleena''' {{IPA|[e'le:na]}} are the native people of the [[Tannaea (province)|Tannaean province]] of [[Arithia]], and have been ruled by the [[Areth]] for almost two thousand years, broken only by the fall of the [[Lazeian Empire]], in the aftermath of which it was conquered by the [[Andu Empire]], and by the [[Devolution Act]] of 1979 [[CIE]], which federalised Arithia and effectively accorded the Eleena self-government for the first time in their recorded history. The Eleena speak [[Tannaean language|Tannaean]], which they call ''Eleena kuuvo'' or "Eleena language". ==Names== The appellation ''Eleena'' (spelt in Arithide as "Elēna") is the Eleena autonym, and was adopted only in recent years as part of a general trend towards political correctness, which deemed the traditional Arithide name for the race, ''Tann'' or ''Tanno'', too tainted by racist and other prejudicial overtones. While the ethnonym was successfully changed to ''Eleena'', attempts to remask ''Tannaīde'', the name of the language, as ''Elēnīde'' have been underwhelming, and the toponyms ''[[Tannaea]]'' and ''[[Tannea]]'' have also proved surprisingly resistant to change. The etymology of the name is unclear, although theories have been floated that the name is related variously to ''ileenäätä'' "to long for home", ''löynö'' northern dialectal for "people, folk", and ''Alailä'' the [[Tannaean language|Tannaean]] name for [[Mount Rorchit]], among others. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Peoples of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Hirsa remis 3527 16981 2006-12-03T11:08:37Z Sirica 257 /* Site and Situation */ '''Hirsa remis''', literally meaning "Port Area" in [[Mirselec]], is one of the ten [[areas of Isana]]; situated along the southeastern coast, it is mostly commercial in character, and in the present day is dominated by the [[Port of Isana]] as well as the newer districts of [[Belegras Dockyards]], [[Henoris Wharf]] and [[Henoris Extension]], to which many of the major financial firms of the country have moved. ==Site and Situation== Practically the entire south coast of Isana east of [[Gardaus Bay]] is part of Hirsa remis, forming an area that came into its own first as an anchorage for ships too large to enter Gardaus Bay Harbour, and then as a port for offloading items such as food, destined for the large wholesale markets like [[Benesda Market]]; the district stretches inland to include the [[South Coast Expressway, Isana|South Coast Expressway]], and the surrounding areas. Formerly centred around the port, Hirsa remis underwent a massive change with the vacating of nearly two-thirds of the port area as most port functions were moved out to [[Bresnga]], with its new port on [[Orimasurna]]. The redevelopment of the area took nearly two decades, during which it was often derided as a failed scheme to turn around a dying neighbourhood; in the 2010s, however, the area now known as the [[Belegras Dockyards]] opened, and since then the turnaround has indeed occurred.

It was highly pictographic, and what little has been found suggests considerable local variation. == Picture Script == The so-called ''picture script'' was a standardized descendant of Proto-Sanle. It remained highly pictographic. The [[Oppai syllabry]] was derived from this stage. The script gradually became more stylized, and multi-part characters began to replace some simple characters == Classical Script == By around the time of the [[Isokhkik Dynasty]], the script began to assume the classical, highly-stylized, complex form. This is the script that later spread throughout South Odirá. == New Script == The New Script was a short-lived attempt to simplify the script. Although it has not survived to the present day intact, it has given rise to the [[Sanle Sound-Letters]], a phonetic script used in dictionaries to indicate pronunciation. [[Category:Galhafan Scripts]] [[Category:Sanle]] Oppai syllabry 3534 16635 2006-11-26T05:38:59Z Christina 18 The '''Oppai Syllabry''' was a script used in [[Oppai]] derived from the Picture Script form of the [[Sanle logographs]]. A small subset of the characters were adopted, and written in a more flowing style, to indicate sound rather than meaning, along the principle of using characters to indicate similar syllables. Though the early forms retained a small number of two-syllable glyphs, later stages reduced all characters to just one syllable-type. Vowels were ignored in determining what counted as similar sound, and, initially, some liberties were taken in consonants as well, though later reforms created a strict correspondance between character and consonants, in some cases through the addition of extra marks to distinguish near-homophones. It was this stage that led to the [[Kasshi syllabry]]. At all stages, the logographs existed side-by-side with the syllabics. The acquisition of the Classical script eliminated the Picture Script-style logographs, but did not directly affect the syllabics in their form. It did, however, help increase the distinction between the two. Later developments eliminated the syllabic basis, giving rise to the [[Oppai alphabet]]. [[Category:Galhafan Scripts]] Oppai alphabet 3535 16636 2006-11-26T05:41:43Z Christina 18 The '''Oppai alphabet''' is a writing system derived from the [[Oppai syllabry]]. It is written in syllabic blocks, each of which consist of three characters, one indicating the ''start'' of the syllable (including null), one indicating the ''body'' (vowel) of the syllable, and the third indicating the ''end'' of the syllable (again, including null). There are no shared characters between the start and end characters. [[Category:Scripts]] Talk:Sateni Irone 3536 16638 2006-11-26T07:28:14Z Denihilonihil 119 さて二色ね!

Due to its extensive political influence through trade, and hence also its cultural diffusiveness, Classical Arithide gained widespread currency throughout much of the [[Western civilisation (Ilethes)|western world]] in [[Ilethes in the Classical Age|antiquity]], serving as the choice tongue for education, trade, diplomacy and the arts. While the decline and eventual demise of the empire and the coinciding rise of rival powers such as the [[Andu Empire]] and [[Dethria]] led consequently to a considerable period of decreased use of the classical tongue, more than a millenium of tradition had anchored its place, and in the [[Renaissance (Ilethes)|renaissance of the Areth]] Classical Arithide made a comeback to rival then-dominant [[Dethric language|Dethric]] for its former place as the West's ''lingua franca''. ==Ancient Artihide== {{main|Ancient Arithide}} ==The Classical Arithide of Bnatios Loi== ===Stylism=== ==The Classical Arithide of Daldaian the Younger== ===Semantic broadening=== ===Literary inventions=== ==Influence on foreign languages== ====Dethric==== ====Lazeic languages==== ==Mediaeval obscurity== ==Arithide Renaissance== {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] [[Category: Dethria]] [[Category: Canthres]] Corapheism 3539 16643 2006-11-26T09:49:12Z Denihilonihil 119 Redirecting to [[Pheism]] #REDIRECT [[Pheism]] Pheism 3540 16646 2006-11-26T10:28:49Z Denihilonihil 119 '''Pheism''' or '''Corapheism''' ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] '''''Korafeoros''''' {{IPA|[kɔrə'feərɔs]}}) is a major polytheistic religion of [[Ilethes]], originating the historical kingdom of [[Syracca]] in the [[Avalacia]] region of west-central [[Marcasia]]. The exact date of its founding is unconfirmed, but is held by adherents to be five thousand years before the present; academia consider 1300 B[[CIE]] to be a more credible timeframe. ==Names & terminology== The English name ''Pheism'' derives from the [[Dethric language|Dethric]] word ''phea'', a common invocation that in turn derives from the [[Arithide language|Arithide]] ''feos'', "god". The alternative, ''Corapheism'', is simply "Pheism" prefixed with the name of [[Cora]], the central divine figure of Pheist lore. ==Beliefs== Pheists believe in the duality of spirituality: that of divine beings such as gods, deities, devils and other immortals; and that of lesser spirits, demons and other demigods. Both are essentially amorphous, but the former, with their stronger powers, may take on a human form if and when they appear; the latter are manifest in objects of nature, such as trees, animals, or even the wind, due to their lesser powers. Another Pheist tenet is the centrality of compassion to the attainment of enlightenment, spirituality and transcendancy, which explains the prominence of [[Cora]], the God of Mercy and Compassion. The nature of Pheism's divinity closely mirror that of humanity: the gods and demigods belong in a hierarchy akin to human society, and observe social protocols such as respect for elders and superiors. Much as character weaknesses and politicking afflict humans, so exhibit many divinities human-like foibles of vanity, violence, greed and laziness, among others. The class of gods is an exception, who are morally infallible and serve as the upholders of justice and probity, while devils are the incarnations of the evils of human society. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Culture of Ilethes]] [[Category: Religions of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] [[Category: Arophania]] Category:Culture of Ilethes 3541 16648 2006-11-26T10:30:36Z Denihilonihil 119 This page links articles relating to the cultures of the various peoples of the planet [[Ilethes]] in the eponymous constructed universe.

[[Category: Culture of Ilethes]] [[Category:Religions|Ilethes]] Global Wars 3543 16658 2006-11-26T14:56:31Z Sirica 257 The term '''Global Wars''' is used in [[Valmante]] mostly to refer to five major, multinational wars that took place during the late 19th and early 20th centuries: *[[First Global War]], February 1883 - July 1887 *[[Second Global War]], April 1903 - May 1906 *[[Third Global War]], May 1919 - December 1924 *[[Fourth Global War]], March 1940 - October 1947 *[[Fifth Global War]], June 1954 - January 1957 The period of the wars is often taken as the watershed of modern, "multipolar" Valmante; the political upheavals of the war, as well as the massive economic growth it fuelled amongst many of the belligerent countries, led to a situation at the end of the wars when economic supremacy no longer rested with any single country. [[category:Valmante]] [[category:History of Risevne]] Osagona Province 3544 16673 2006-11-27T15:49:27Z Sirica 257 /* Economy and Demography */ '''Osagona Province''' ([[Mirselec]] ''Osagona denai''), also known as Province 13, is a [[subdivisions of Risevne|province]] of [[Risevne]], located in the southern reaches of the [[Mathormagos]]. It borders [[Besurgana Province]] to its north, [[Serteni Province]] to its east, [[Naguse Province]] to its west, and [[Osbane]] and [[Baseniga]] provinces to its south. Its capital is the city of [[Atelas]]. Osagona Province was one of the nearer outlying areas to the power centres in the south of [[Masalne]], and was therefore one of the more developed of the mountain provinces; during the [[Fourth Global War]], the movement of much of Risevne's industry across the mountains focused mostly on the provinces of Osagona and [[Besurgana]], leaving a legacy of both economic growth and considerable pollution. Now, the mountains of Osagona are mostly within the bounds of [[Mathormagos National Park]], though the area remains an important industrial centre in Risevne. ==Geography== Osagona province has a terrain dominated by mountains and forests, except for its eastern and western ends where the land becomes relatively flat as it nears the coast. The deep, deciduous forests of the mountains are some of the most extensively protected forest areas within Risevne, and are a famous tourist attraction during the autumn months when they shed their leaves. Another important aspect of the geography of the area is the multitude of streams, gorges, as well as rain-fuelled underground reservoirs and springs. ==History== During the time of the [[Committee of Guardians]], Osagona province became one of the main areas to which the old nobility who had opposed the new government were exiled; kept with the remnants of their wealth, the rest being mostly confiscated, they nonetheless formed several settlements in the mountains where they were in relative safety. With the [[1827 Restoration]], after their property was mostly returned to them, most of the families used the money to build houses in those mountains; many such houses still stand, and some have been converted to museums, as well as other purposes. ==Economy and Demography== An important economic link for the province, as well as the whole nation, is the [[Second Cross-Mountain Highway]], completed in 1971. Running from one coast of the country to the other and skirting the southern edge of the national park area, it opened up much of the mountains to economic growth, and many large towns have grown up along the road and railway since. ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Atelas]], the provincial capital *[[Sogarinaste]], a major port of the Inland Sea ==Famous Locations== *[[Dekana Residence]] - One of the bases of the Risevan code intelligence effort during the [[Fourth Global War]] [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Hinegaes remis 3545 16851 2006-11-29T14:00:46Z Sirica 257 /* Site and Situation */ '''Hinegaes remis''', literally meaning "Eastern Boundary" in [[Mirselec]], is an [[Areas and Districts of Isana|area]] in the Risevan capital of [[Isana]], situated along the border of the city with [[Feladmena Province]]. It is the newest district of the city, having been split from parts of [[Garnoye remis]] and [[Waranyebara remis]] in 1968. The area that is now Hinegaes was not part of the city until around 1924, when the eastward movement of industries spread into this area; as the new port at [[Hirsa remis]] was completed the area underwent farther transformation into a large industrial centre. Modern day Hinegaes still retains this legacy, as its southern half is mostly industrial areas comprising the bulk of manufacturing in Isana; however extensive efforts to make the area cleaner and greener have also paid off, and most people even in Isana do not know the area is an industrial district. ==Site and Situation== The shape of Hinegaes remis follows the [[West Coast Highway]] that stretches down the coast of [[Masalne]] island, and development centres around the four large expressway junctions where the city highways of Isana meet the trunk highway. Stretching in a belt to encompass the entire boundary between Isana and [[Feladmena Province]], its developments are mostly centred around the four major intersections where the city expressways meet the trunk highway. Hinegaes is more industrial in character than any other district in Isana, with the manufacturing plants concentrated around the south and southeast while the north is more residential. The Green Belt is the best-known feature of city planning in Hinegaes remis; several large parkland areas are linked by long park connectors built around former sections of irrigation canals and ponds, roughly following the course of the West Coast Highway and stretching for nearly the entire length of the remis. This forms the largest parkland area in the entire city, and its relative quiet makes it a favourite weekend outing spot for Isanani. ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== ==Significant Buildings and Sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Naguse Province 3546 16674 2006-11-27T16:04:56Z Sirica 257 /* Towns and Cities */ '''Naguse Province''' ([[Mirselec]] ''Naguse denai''), also known as province 14, is a [[subdivisions of Risevne|province]] of [[Risevne]], situated on [[Masalne]] along the northern coast of [[Uniwa Bay]]. It borders [[Lyonaske]] and [[Besurgana]] provinces on its north, and [[Osagona Province]] to its east. Its provincial capital is the city of [[Uniwaseimi]]. ==Geography== The southwestern half of Naguse province is dominated by rolling plains along the coast, making excellent terrain for ports; Uniwaseimi is situated near the eastern end of this plain, and several other major harbours also exist. Eastwards the plains fade into hilly forests and some extinct volcanoes, and farther east are the foothills and ranges of the [[Mathormagos]]. The variation of altitude also implies a large variation in climate and vegetation, from the mountain forests of the far east to the plains fed mostly by rain from May to July borne on the mild west wind; while the climate on the plains is mostly mild, from August to September the seawinds can reach considerable strength, while in January the whole area is often very foggy. Snow is uncommon and mostly confined to the east. ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Uniwaseimi]], the provincial capital *[[Kaimu, Naguse|Kaimu]], a major highway town near the northern border *[[Igonima]], a small city sometimes known as the Gateway to the Mountains, situated in the east ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Garnoye remis 3547 17115 2006-12-05T03:31:23Z Sirica 257 /* Site and Situation */ '''Garnoye remis''', literally "White Fort Area", is an [[Areas and Districts of Isana|area]] of the city of [[Isana]], named after the iconic [[Garnoye]], or White Fort, which stands in the north of the area. To its north is the [[Waranye river]]. This remis is an important residential area, mostly for the more affluent of the city, and is mainly into seven residential districts, mostly occupied by high-rise apartments. At the same time it contains several of the city's major gardens, parks and public areas, as well as museums, especially in its western areas adjacent to [[Awenhine remis]]. During the early days of Isana, the area that is now Garnoye was an agricultural district, but also contained many military installations and public buildings, including the old building of the [[Afengar]], and [[Old Isana Train Station]]. Many of these buildings have been preserved, mostly in the vicinity of the Waranye river. ==Site and Situation== Garnoye is the largest district in the east of Isana, roughly occupying the areas formerly known as ''Konenime'', "south of the hill" (as opposed to [[Konebara-dego|''Konebara'']] "above the hill" which is now the eastern portion of [[Waranyebara remis]]) and ''Adunitaboga'', "Aduni's Tower". The eponymous fort is in fact sited near the boundary between this remis and Waranyebara in the north, which is set along the [[Waranye river]]. The remis is presently mostly residential and commercial in nature, though pockets of land devoted to manufacturing and other industries still exist mostly in the southeast and east, where the remis adjoins [[Hinegaes remis|Hinegaes]] and [[Hirsa remis|Hirsa]]. While in the past it was touted as a suburban region in contrast to the densely populated western half of the city, in the 1970s to 2000s extensive development and movement of population from the west has brought it to a level of density approaching, and in some areas surpassing, that of [[Basetimena remis]] or [[Nimegose remis]]. From the 1950s on the idea of generally decentralised, mostly self-sufficient planned towns passed eastwards after its highly successful application in Basetimena; in 1966 the remis administration was redrawn, and 7 such new towns were set up, with most of the infrastructure being complete by the early 1970s. Keeping lessons learned from the west in mind, the Garnoye new towns are generally known to be more spacious and set farther apart from each other, separated by parklands and internal green belts. ==History== The area now known as Garnoye remis was in fact not part of historical Isana, but Garnoye's history is nonetheless closely tied to that of the capital which once lay to its north, and it has served many roles in regard to the city, being variously its breadbasket, its prison, and in some cases its municipal government. In the early days of Isana's growth the rich lands of Garnoye proved an important breadbasket, and valuable land; in the [[Saumos ta Gauserin]] compiled in 878 DN Konenime, as well as Awenkara and Basetimena, were some of the richest and most populated rural lands across the [[Feladmena Plain]]. That most of the land this close to the capital was owned by wealthy families, as well as the proximity of the area to the capital itself, meant that extensive irrigation engineering and other works were far more advanced in this area; even now part of the extensive network of canals remains in the remis. With Garnoye fortress situated in its north, the area also took on a significant political and military role for the city; while foreign invasion was ostensibly a threat, given that the major rival of Masal was the [[Kingdom of Rarena]] to its south, an even closer fear was that of peasant rebellion. During the [[Committee of Guardians]], the threat was reversed with great resentment amongst the Isanani for the generals; the new government built its headquarters just south of Garnoye fortress itself, and even built a 730 metre tunnel linking the building to a side keep of Garnoye; at the same time the White Fort (which was painted white for the first time in 1736) was heavily fortified and served as prison and arsenal. Making use of the labour of convicts, the Committee originally planned to build a completely new city in this area, but disorganisation and generally poor planning hampered this task greatly; nonetheless considerable progress had been made in urbanising Garnoye, such that by the time of the 1827 Restoration the groundwork had been laid for the eastward expansion of the city, as the residence of the middle-class families. ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== ==Significant buildings and sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Waranyebara remis 3548 16696 2006-11-28T08:30:30Z Sirica 257 '''Waranyebara remis''', literally meaning "Area north of the Waranye" in [[Mirselec]], is an [[Areas and Districts of Isana|area]] of [[Isana]], in its northeast and bounded by the [[Old Walls]], forming its northern boundary, and the [[Waranye river]] to the south. The area of Waranyebara was one of the first areas to be considered part of Isana, forming the former merchants' quarter of the city; even now, two and a half centuries on, that economic legacy is easily seen in the buildings of the area. Famous for being a religious centre of modern-day Isana, it has scores of shrines and temples, as well as many other old districts, and is often touted as being representative of Isana as it was before the changes of the [[Ibakizaro]]. During the [[Fourth Global War]] the area was heavily bombed, but after the war efforts were made to restore the area rather than redevelop it. ==Site and Situation== ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== ==Significant Buildings and Sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] Longman Defining Vocabulary/about 3549 21417 2007-04-24T18:37:13Z Melroch 31 /* What is the Defining vocabulary anyway? */ Listed subpages <noinclude>{{:Longman Defining Vocabulary/index}}</noinclude> __TOC__ == What is the Defining vocabulary anyway? == '''The Longman Defining Vocabulary''', from ''Longman Dictionary'' (1988){{ref|ldoce}}. 2197 words, 10 prefixes, 39 suffixes. This is the set of words which the Longman English Dictionary uses to express all its definitions. As such, it may be a useful source of basic vocabulary for the designer of a conlang. This version of the list is based on the one that used to be found on Jeffrey Kennaway's conlang page. Since that page has now disappeared (I can't even find it on the [http://www.archive.org/ Internet Archive]!) I thought it may be a good idea to make it available to conlangers again.{{ref|Jeffrey}} Note that the American spellings of the original have been replaced with British spellings by Jeffrey. If you (as I expect! {{-)}}) want to copy the list in order to use it in your own vocabulary building you may want to look at the, which contain less extraneous text, especially [[Longman Defining Vocabulary/alphabetically]]: <dpl> category=Longman Defining Vocabulary nottitlematch=Longman Defining Vocabulary/index|Longman Defining Vocabulary </dpl> If you want a more 'primitive' vocabulary you may want to have a look at Roger Mill's [[Basic Vocabulary]] ---- # {{note|ldoce}} The current incarnation of the ''Longman English dictionary'' is ''[http://www.longman.com/ldoce/ the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English]''.

As its name suggests it is situated along the west coast of [[Gardaus Bay]], and thus contains the main commercial districts of the city; it has sometmies been called "The Shopping Centre of the World". This district of the city began as simply the "West City", and in its early history was a far grittier place, being both the port district until the late 19th century, and the centre of transportation for the immense wave of industrial development that would take over the formerly rural areas to its west, and incorporate them all within Isana city. Presently it retains its role, in a sense, as the centre of the western city, though its modernity stands in stark contrast to the much more traditional feel of [[Zaumir remis]] just to its north. ==Site and Situation== Awenkara remis is bounded by the mouth of the Rushalya to the north, and stretches along the length of [[Gardaus Bay]], being linked by the three great bay bridges (namely [[Nikemi Bridge]], [[Soruta Bridge]] and [[Horesen Bridge]]) to [[Awenhine remis]] across the bay. Heavily urbanised and almost completely built up, Awenkara nonetheless retains large areas of artificially grown forest in its north, where many of its famous municipal buildings and sites are also situated. ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== Awenkara remis is subdivided into four large districts that are then farther subdivided into different precincts or neighbourhoods. From north to south, the districts are: *[[Ainosdunikara-dego]], West of the Rivermouth (that is, the mouth of the [[Rushalya river]] *[[Taiberseimi-dego]], Above (ie. north of) [[Soruta Bridge]] *[[Taibergute-dego]], Below, or south of, Soruta Bridge *[[Horesen-dego]], the area around the newer [[Horesen Bridge]] near the mouth of Gardaus Bay ==Significant buildings and sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Basic Vocabulary 3561 46946 2009-07-03T07:55:59Z Melroch 31 [[Category:Lexica]] [[Category:Source material]] [[Category:Defining Vocabulary]] This wordlist was originally devised by [http://cinduworld.tripod.com/contents.htm Roger Mills] for comparative research in Indonesia.

Zaumir remis 3562 16852 2006-11-29T14:05:18Z Sirica 257 '''Zaumir remis''', literally "Palace Area" in [[Mirselec]], is an [[Areas and Districts of Isana|area]] in [[Isana]], in the northwest of the modern day city along the west bank of the [[Rushalya river]]. Along with [[Waranyebara remis]], it is one of the oldest districts of Isana, forming the historical city centre. Severely damaged by bombing during the [[Fourth Global War]], the area was later painstakingly restored rather than deliberately redeveloped; under the [[Izanosan Plans]] the surviving architecture was ingeniously blended with new constructions, under regulations limiting the place to mostly residential usage. In modern days Zaumir is a mostly high-class district, even more so than eastern [[Garnoye remis]] or [[Karagose remis]], and a centre of high-class establishments for such things as fashion and food. ==Site and Situation== ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== ==Significant buildings and sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Classical Arithide poetry 3563 21326 2007-04-21T08:19:21Z Denihilonihil 119 The term '''Classical Arithide poetry''' can serve as either a catch-all term for all poetry written in the [[Classical Arithide]] language, or as a more specific referent denoting only the later, more polished, stylised verse of [[Daldaian the Younger]] ''et secuutus''. Almost the entire corpus of what is considered by academia "Classical Arithide poetry" was written in the 600 years from the middle Aphoiros to the late Equora dynasties (see [[Lazeian Empire]] for information on the dynasties). ==Earlier Classical Arithide poetry== {{main|Earlier Classical Arithide poetry}} ==Later Classical Arithide poetry== {{main|Later Classical Arithide poetry}} The later poetry of the [[Lazeian Empire]] was characterised by the development of more regular, more stress-based meters and the shift away from the tendency of the [[Earlier Classical Arithide poetry|earlier poets]] to natural imagery to more abstract sorts, and a new willingness to engage in previously avoided subjects such as deprivation, death, eroticism and politics. This shift paralleled a sudden jump in the availability of education, owing to an increasingly affluent society and a rising middle class, which was the first of its kind in documented history. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Culture of Ilethes]] Western civilisation (Ilethes) 3564 16773 2006-11-28T14:43:46Z Denihilonihil 119 In the world of [[Ilethes]], '''Western civilisation''' refers to human civilisation in the west of the planet, according to the [[Gathenic depiction]], that have been to a greater or lesser degree influenced by the [[Areth]] civilisation. It stands in contrast to [[Eastern civilisation (Ilethes)|Eastern civilisation]], which refers to civilisation in the east, influenced by the dominant cultures of the [[Karyāba]] and the [[Nosphera]]. The two cultures overlap in northern [[Marcasia]], where the Nosphera were first predominant but later declined and were subsumed by the Karyāba; the area then came under Areth influence in later years. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Ethnography of Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] Sanle (language) 3565 31754 2008-05-26T21:01:25Z Christina 18 '''Sanle''' is a major language of [[West Odirá]]. *[[Classical Sanle]] [[Category:Galhafan languages]] [[Category:Conlangs|Sanle]] Template talk:Swadesh 3566 16794 2006-11-28T22:50:06Z Christina 18 Why are there links to the words?

The stressed syllable is indicated with an acute. = Grammar = == Nouns == === Genders === The "gender" system of Common Kasshi (more a classifier system, but Kasshi linguistics has traditionally used the same term), the ancestor of the gender systems of the Kassan branch, had considerably more distinctions than the [[Classical Kasshian#Gender|gender system]] of Classical Kasshian, but also fewer morphological alternations. {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- align="center" | |'''Singular''' |'''Dual''' |'''Paucal''' |'''Plural''' |- align="center" |'''Gender I''' |te |tel |tef |ten |- align="center" |'''Gender II''' |na |nal |naf |nan |- align="center" |'''Gender III''' |so |sol |sof |son |- align="center" |'''Gender IV''' |ki |kil |kif |kin |- align="center" |'''Gender V''' |rë |rël |rëf |rën |- align="center" |'''Gender VI''' |wa |wal |waf |wan |- align="center" |'''Gender VII''' |pi |pil |pif |pin |- align="center" |'''Gender VIII''' |hon |hol |hof |hona |- align="center" |'''Gender IX''' |la |lal |laf |lan |- align="center" |'''Gender X''' |qira |qiral |qiraf |qiran |- align="center" |'''Gender XI''' |tama |tamal |tamaf |taman |- align="center" |'''Gender XII''' |toka |tokal |tokaf |tokan |- align="center" |'''Gender XIII''' |tokan |tokanli |tokanëf |tokanna |- align="center" |'''Gender XIV''' |kula |kulal |kulaf |kulan |- align="center" |'''Gender XV''' |mani |manil |manif |manin |} These markers functioned as both pronouns and a sort of article, being placed before the ''noun phrase''. Adjectives were unmarked in Common Kasshi except, optionally, in the predicate. The classifiers agreed with their head in number and case. Genders I-VII were very similar to their counterparts in the Classical language. Several additional genders existed: *Gender VIII was for instruments and tools *Gender IX was for weather phenomena, celestial bodies, and divinities *Gender X was for round objects *Gender XI was for long, narrow objects *Gender XII was for most plants *Gender XIII was for sacred things *Gender XIV was for groups of humans, houses, items used in the context of trading, and other cultural artifacts not included in the above genders *Gender XV was for body parts Gender VI was considerably smaller in Common Kasshi than it was in the Classical language, consisting primarily of liquids and fire. Genders VIII-XV have been merged into the other genders, mostly VI and VII. Genders IV and V were also somewhat different in Common Kasshi. The distinction there was one of "useful" vs. "non-useful" animals. === Inflections === ==== Number ==== Common Kasshian had four numbers, singular, dual, paucal, and plural, with the following suffixes: *Dual: -ri *Paucal: -(ë)f *Plural: -na ==== Case ==== *Absolutive: No suffix *Ergative: -arë, -ka **-arë was used on nouns and adjectives, -ka on pronouns and articles *Genetive: -afë *Dative: -azë *Postpositional: -ë ==== Postpositions ==== These postpositions had case-like functions. In the earliest form of the language, they were placed at the end of the entire noun-phrase (which was typically in the postpositional case). In later forms, they became clitics on the head noun, eventually evolving into full-blown cases, being duplicated on dependent adjectives *Instrumental: li *Benefactive: na *Commitative: ran *Locative: qavë *Ablative: ta *Allative: së *Perlative: ne *Inessive: ka *Elative: do *Illative: ba *Perillative: baba *Circumlocative: de *Circumablative: gos *Circumallative: ma *Circumperlative: mama == Verbs == === Personal Clitics === These were prefixed either to verb or the auxilary, if any. {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- align="center" | | '''Singular''' | '''Dual''' | '''Paucal''' | '''Plural''' |- align="center" | '''1<sup>st</sup>''' | hë<br>(later qo-) | lofë | taqe | ne |- align="center" | '''2<sup>nd</sup>''' | fen | feni | fenëf | fana |- align="center" | '''3<sup>rd</sup> rational''' | tasë | tehi | taf | tan |- align="center" | '''3<sup>rd</sup> non-rational''' | lë | li | lëf | lëna |} === Voice === *Passive: që- **Passive was a vestige of an earlier accusative stage *Reflexive: ko- === Applicatives === Applicatives transform an intransitive verb into a transitive one, or a transitive verb into a ditransitive verb. They have the effect of adding an additional argument to the verb phrase, as an absolutive, with the original absolutive being incorporated into the verb. *Dative: pë- *Commitative: ran- *Instrumental: so- === Tense === *Past: fa- *Future: naqe- === Conditional === *If: ve(h)- *Counter-factual: gula- *Then: hos- === Aspectual Auxilaries === These could occur either in pre-verbal position, in which case the personal clitics were attached to them, or in post-verbal position. *Prospective më *Inceptive to *Progressive ke *Habitual vë *Cessative rë *Perfective no == Pronouns == {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- align="center" | | '''Singular''' | '''Dual''' | '''Paucal''' | '''Plural''' |- align="center" | '''1<sup>st</sup>''' | Qo | Sa | Ëná | Ti |- align="center" | '''2<sup>nd</sup> | Gel | Dre | Gélëf? | Gélna |} In addition, the gender-markers listed earlier were used as 3rd person pronouns These pronouns took the following cases *Nominative: no suffix *Accusative: -he *Genetive: -wa *Dative: ? *Postpositional: ? Third person pronouns took null for absolutive and -ka for ergative = Syntax = Common Kasshian was strictly verb-final, with modifiers generally preceding their head, though they could also occur after.

Its purpose is now unclear; it speaks in future tense as in the other Piscea proposals. Yet because it is such a radical description, it could be assumed to be either a story to glorify Piscea, a scare tactic to achieve notice or even a conspiracy. If the latter were true, a Voyages International agent could be dispatched to the region in question, aiming to become a 'dictator', paving the way for Piscea to seize new resources. Pokingadjikastan (Hloterb: Pôkingaadjikastaan) was formed in 2036 after the infamous 2024 Battle of the Three Borders, fought between Russia, China and Kazakhstan when the Pokingadjikastani ethnic minority pressured them for a country to call their own. After a five-year stalemate, terms were eventually negotiated, breaking an equal amount of land from Russia, China and Kazakhstan to create the new state of Pokingadjikastan. However, the transition was not harmonious. The supposedly stable government was rocked when infiltrated by Pthaadjurh, who used various loopholes in new rushed laws to position himself as president and enforce his extremist views. The Pokingadjikastani army rebelled by forming a military coup, which surrounded the presidential palace with heavy artillery, cutting off food supplies. Nonetheless, Pthaddjurh managed to flee through an underground tunnel that he himself had built; only he ever knew of its existence. To this day, Pthaadjurh is believed to be in hiding. Since the oppressive Dictator Pthaadjurh escaped the siege of rebel military forces, the nation of Pokingadjikastan became a lawless gangsters' paradise with rebels patrolling every street and menacing innocent bystanders. Before America could intervene, the New Piscean Workers' Nation saw the chance it had been looking for. Though endeavering to maintain self-suffiency to retain its communist status, the manmade island of New Pisces - off the coast of southern France - did not have any of its own natural resources. This problem would be partially solved by the aquisition of Pokingadjikastan. In 2039, troops from New Pisces stormed the lawless country, entering combat with the rebels who were easily beaten and consequently imprisoned. Only three years after its creation, Pokingadjikastan was no longer a country, becoming an overseas territory. On 2nd August, the intimidating statue of Pthaadjurh was toppled and the flag of New Pisces was raised in its place. Anderson's government repaired most of the damage and refurbished the poorly equipped public facilities; Pokingadjikastan's failing currency, the Gurhjad, was replaced by the thriving Piscean dollar and, most importantly, the inhabitants began to receive the same wages and conditions as those on the island of New Pisces in return for their work. The Pokingaadjijikastaani people collect and export wool, oil, coal, cotton, nitrates, lapis lazuli and copper around Pokingadjikastan as well as the New Piscean mainland in Europe. Anderson does not enforce the [[Piscean language]] on the locals, stating that he was more than happy for them to keep their own. The majority language of Pokingadjikastan is Hloterb, which has now become the second official language of the New Piscean Workers' Nation, but Arabic, Pashtu and Chinese are also spoken. Piscean, however, is the only tongue used for government purposes. It is hoped and expected that by 2040, 100% of the Pokingadjikastani population will be significantly above the poverty line, with the same GDP per capita as that of the mainland New Pisces in Europe. Nimegose remis 3573 16835 2006-11-29T09:18:40Z Sirica 257 '''Nimegose remis''', literally "South coast Area" in [[Mirselec]], is an [[Areas and Districts of Isana|area]] of [[Isana]]. It is situated in the western half of Isana, along the southern coast west of [[Gardaus Bay]]. A major industrial area and port during the days of the [[Ibakizaro]], Nimegose fell into relative decline as the port moved east of the Bay, but remained an important industrial centre with its many port harbours converted into shipbuilding wharves. During the [[Third Global War]] it was an important construction centre for ships, but during the [[Fourth Global War]] the shipyards were devastated by firebombing, and eventually most facilities were moved away. Presently Nimegose has become a mostly residential area, though there are still many industrial regions along the coast and inland. ==Site and Situation== ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== ==Significant buildings and sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Karagose remis 3574 16836 2006-11-29T09:42:59Z Sirica 257 '''Karagose remis''', literally "West Coast Area" in [[Mirselec]], is the westernmost [[Areas and Districts of Isana|area]] of [[Isana]], situated along the west coast facing the [[Elaspegian Ocean]]. The western coast of the sea is one of the most scenic areas of the Isana region, and during the era of the [[First Kingdom of Risevne|old kingdom]] and the [[Committee of Guardians]] it was famous as a leisure area for the officials who lived within the city. Later on it was heavily affected by industrial development, especially by pollution from the east. In modern days the northern third of the remis forms the [[Antagan Cliffs National Park]], one of the few national parks within city areas in the whole world. ==Site and Situation== ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== ==Significant buildings and sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Category:Risevani Statesmen 3575 16844 2006-11-29T11:47:17Z Sirica 257 [[category:Famous Persons of Risevne]] Anomi Osorza 3576 16848 2006-11-29T12:14:14Z Sirica 257 '''Anome Osorza, Osorza ta Gurya''' (20 January 1890 - 15 October 1963) was a [[Risevani]] statesman and politician who served as [[Deguruganize|Minister of Armaments]] from 1942 to 1947 and [[Naruganize]] from 1948 to 1958. His tenure in office presided over the beginning of the [[Durosirase]], and he is widely seen as one of the chief architects of the nation's swift recovery from the costly victory of the war. ==Childhood and Youth== Born in [[Isana]] to a family which had migrated from [[Agalmare]] to set up a small workshop in the city, Anomi Osorza's early life was a story of continuous economic hardship; after the compulsory and free primary education he was nearly suspended from high school twice due to his being unable to pay his fees. ==Early Careers== ==Political Career== ==The 1934 Elections== ==Onset of War== ==Naruganize of Risevne== ===Durosirase policies=== ==Later Life== ==Family and Relations== ==Legacy and Impact== [[category:Risevani Statesmen]] [[category:Famous Persons of Risevne]] Basetimena remis 3577 16904 2006-12-01T14:03:46Z Sirica 257 /* Constituent Districts */ '''Basetimena remis''', literally "Baseti plains Area" in [[Mirselec]], is an [[Areas and Districts of Isana|area]] of [[Isana]], occupying the Baseti plain that stretches westward from [[Gardaus Bay]] to the coast. It is the largest, and the most populated, remis within the city. Along with [[Nimegose]], [[Karagose]] and [[Garnoye]] remis, Basetimena is one of the mainly residential districts of the city, and was once a thriving agricultural district occupied mostly by relatively rich landowners who resided in nearby Isana city. The purging of these elements during the [[Committee of Guardians]] paved the way for the whole area to be redeveloped as an industrial district, complete with a new port in modern day [[Nimegose remis]]; Basetimena then became a focus of the [[Ibakizaro]] and a powerful symbol of growth for the nation, albeit at a terrible price of human deprivation and pollution. Under the [[Izanosan Plans]], the area became one of the centres of the planners' attention, and was redrawn completely and redeveloped extensively. Now it is one of the main residential areas in the city, divided into 11 districts. ==Site and Situation== The concept in the Izanosan plan of the "District-City" was first implemented in the western remis, including Basetimena; even now the plan survives largely unchanged, with constant additions (3 new town districts have been added to the original 8). The 11 districts of Basetimena remis were designed to be partially self-contained towns, many with their own local schools, hospitals, transport networks in the form of light overhead rail and buses, while being linked to each other via a highly efficient network of trunk road and rail links. Having been proven successful in the west, this concept of residential new towns would later be adopted throughout the city and in other cities as well. For the high population densities of the remis it is surprisingly green, with large tracts of space set aside under the [[Isana Parks and Public Spaces Department]], as either parks or park connectors. The old system of irrigation canals that criss-cross the remis, in particular, have been used ingeniously to link different parks up along so-called Canal Paths. ==History== ==Administration== ==Transport== ==Constituent Districts== Basetimena is divided into a total of eleven Dego, or Districts: *Kemorigan *Nairigan *Sultagasya ==Significant buildings and sites== ==Notes== [[category:Areas of Isana]] [[category:Isana]] Hloterb 3578 16859 2006-11-30T05:15:24Z Humancadaver101 212 [[Hloterb]] moved to [[Hlotderb]]: Mispelling of title #REDIRECT [[Hlotderb]] Aunidanizon Crisis 3579 16896 2006-12-01T09:58:56Z Denihilonihil 119 formatting The '''Aunidanizon Crisis''' or '''Aunidanizon Incident''' ([[Mirselec]] ''Aunidanizon hilaze'') was an incident and subsequent diplomatic crisis between the nations of [[Risevne]] and [[Kavena]], occurring between 12 May and 3 July 1957 in the city of [[Nimzon]] in Kavena. Sparked off by a dispute over the demolition of a building adjacent to the Risevan Embassy in Nimzon, in order to provide for its expansion, the crisis can be divided into several parts: the initial riots and local resistance to the demolition which killed five Risevani, the subsequent withdrawal of agreement by the Kavenain government, and finally [[Aribume Nashan|Operation Firecloud]] and [[Nisoratebume Nashan|Operation Blessed Cloud]], two operations launched by the Risevan armed forces; one aimed at evacuating the surviving Risevani, and one as a show of force to the Kavenain government. ==Background== ==The Crisis== ===Dispute over 203 Aunidanizon Road=== ===Riots=== ===Kavenain Government Reaction=== ===Risevani Govenment Reaction=== ===Escalation=== ===Aribume Nashan=== {{main|Aribume Nashan}} ==Nisoratebume Nashan== {{main|Nisoratebume Nashan}} ===Subsequent Reactions=== ==Aftermath== [[category:History of Risevne]] [[category:Diplomatic Crises]] Aribume Nashan 3580 16865 2006-11-30T14:30:59Z Sirica 257 '''Aribume Nashan''', literally "Operation Firecloud" in [[Mirselec]], was the codename of a military operation undertaken during the [[Aunidanizon Crisis]] in 1957 by the [[Risevan]] armed forces. Its goal was to demolish 203 Aunidanizon Road, the building which was at the centre of the crisis, as well as to constitute a show of force, following the riots within [[Nimzon]] that had taken the lives of 7 Risevani in all. ==Description== By 8 June, with chaos in the city continuing and the Kavenain government still recalcitrant in its position, the Risevani government decided finally to activate the armed forces and demolish the building; later reports show that the armed forces had in fact been preparing for an operation from the beginning of the crisis, originally aimed at rescuing the embassy workers in case of an emergency. Over the next four days extensive preparations were undertaken for the operation. All in all a team of 42 engineers were detailed to carry out the controlled demolition, which was highly risky given the building was only 30 metres away from the Embassy walls; at the same time two infantry companies of 270 men in all, as well as a group of 80 riot police from the Risevan army, were detailed to guard all entrances to the Embassy and set up barricades to prevent entry into the area of the demolition. At the same time 6 large armoured cars, armed with heavy machine guns, were transported in by contained truck and assembled in situ; and one helicopter was dispatched to the Embassy roof, with another two on standby on board the carrier [[KV Ismade|''Ismade'']]. Besides the aircraft carrier, two cruisers and five destroyers were also diverted to patrol the area, just off Kavenain territorial waters. On the night of 12-13 June actions first commenced; barricades were set up and manned outside all the Embassy entrances, as well as to block the roads around the building for safety reasons, while the engineers got to work preparing the building for demolition. In order to avoid disputes, the barricades which were not immediately adjacent to the Embassy were quickly turned over to the Kavenain police by next morning, though significant numbers of armed men remained in and around the embassy compound. Next morning, angry crowds of Kavenain immediately began to gather around the Embassy and harass the Risevani troops, throwing eggs and rocks; on a 15 a hastily organised march on the Embassy was estimated to contain around 40,000 marchers, who then surrounded the compound. Despite the constant harrassment, which resulted in 11 men wounded over the next five days, the Risevani troops did not open fire with live rounds, though nearly 400 warning shots - all blanks - were fired from the rifles and the heavy machine guns. While the Kavenain government dithered, the Risevani government sent a request on 15 June for demolishing 203 Aunidanizon Road on 19 June, while implying that if any more Risevani soldiers or civilians were to be killed in the rioting the Kavenain would face farther escalation. In the face of this threat, the government reversed its stance held since mid-May and again granted agreement to demolish the building; at the same time nearly 300 Kavenain riot police were finally dispatched to control the crowds. With the approval, the preparations for demolition went on, and at 1735 on 19 June as another march on the Embassy was stopped at the barricades by Risevani and Kavenain personnel the charges were detonated and the building successfully demolished.

The plan of the police had been to lure the hostages out by acceding to their demands; the three cars that would ferry them to the airport were driven in, but instead of stopped outside the hotel entrance they stopped a distance away, in the hope that as the terrorists emerged they would present a clear shot to Kavenain snipers, five of whom had been positioned around the area. However, the terrorists suspected a trap, and pushed several of the hostages out to form a human shield so as to cover their approach to the vehicles. ===Operation Fire Magic=== ==Aftermath== Arihikas Nashan was the first operation undertaken by the RKNI in the world after the [[Global Wars]], and its complete success laid the foundation for their fearsome reputation.

It is spoken in an Europen country called Herevashky. Its grammar consists of five noun cases (nominative, accusatie, dative, genitive, locative), with three different declensions. It has a verb system very similar to that of English, but with fewer irregular verbs. Its lexicon has plenty of loanwords from French, but most of it resembles German. It has complex syntax and agreement rules regarding pronouns, but it's still a language that could be easty for most native English speakers to learn with no big trouble. == Sounds == Herevashkian consists of the following vowel system: *[a]: a *[æ]: ä, ae *[ɛ]: eth *[ɪ]: eh, y *[ɔ]: oth, o *[ø]: eu, ue *[œ]: ö *[i]: ie, y *[e]: e, y *[o]: o, au *[u]: oh *[y]: u With the following diphthongs allowed: *[aɪ]: i, ei, ij *[ɔɪ]: ai *[aʊ]: ou The phonemic consonants are: *[ʀ]: r *[t]: t *[p]: p *[s]: ss, sj, c+(front vowel) *[ʃ]: sch, s+(front vowel) *[tʃ]: tts, schtts *[d]: d *[ð]: x *[f]: f *[g]: g *[h]: h, th *[j]: j, i+[a, o] *[k]: k, c+(back/mid vowel) *[x]: ch *[l]: l *[z]: s, z *[ʒ]: g+(front vowel), z+(front vowel) *[v]: v *[vʷ]: w *[b]: b *[n]: n *[m]: m Maximum syllable structure allowed is: ([s, z])(C)([r, l])V([s, z, ch, n, m])(C)([r])([s, z]), where V stands for any vowel or allowed diphthong. Allophony: * final, unstressed <i> ([aɪ]) tends to become [e]. * [s] and [z] change to [ʃ] and [ʒ], respectively, before a consonant (except for [t] and [d]). * the cluster [st] becomes [s] and the clusters [zt], [zd] and [sd] become [z]. * [ʀ], [x] and [h] aren't pronounced syllable-finally. * [ng] and [nk] tends to become [ŋ]. * in some dialects [ch] is pronounced [kx] before back vowels. * all vowels tend to nasalize before [n] or [m]. [i] and [ɪ] don't, though. * final unstressed [e] becomes a schwa ([ə]). * unstressed [u] becomes [ʌ]. * final [g] always becomes [ʒ]. * [e] followed by [ʀ] (even if silent) becomes [a]. Stress, which is usually in the second-to-last syllable, can be achieved by means of: * addition of an accute accent ´; * insertion of th after the stressed vowel, which changes certain vowels' into others, such as <e>[e] > <eth>[ɛ]. Other than that, stress is unpredictable, like English. == Grammar == '''Verbal Morphology''' Verbs in Herevashkian conjugate in three tenses (present, past and future) and have one gerund, two participles (singular and plural) and two imperatives (singular and plural). There is only one conjugation pattern in Herevashkian. There are, however, irregular verbs and verbs which take orthographic adjustments (such as verb stems that end with e, ie, s or ss). The verb '''oden voln''' ('''oden''' is the infinitive marker, such as English 'to'), meaning 'to see'.

It is the northernmost district of the remis, situated on the eastern side of the mouth of the [[Rushalya river]], and is a relatively quiet district of the east bay area. The name ''Iselniragan'' literally means "Third Prince's Residence"; the name comes from the late 17th century, when a royal prince established a major house in the area. While the residence itself is no longer existent, the site (also called Iselniragan) is now the centre of a park wherein an 18th century residence, built by royal decree, still stands. ==Site and Situation== Iselniragan occupies one of the most scenic spots of the city, the Rushalya rivermouth; its relative greenery, as well as that of [[Ainosdunikara-dego]] which lies across the river, was however not natural but achieved through planning and great effort, as with most of the parkland areas within modern Isana. Having a large number of old buildings, many of which have been converted to artistic or other cultural uses, it is one of the more quiet areas of Awenkara, quite free from the bustle of the south. Most commercial development takes place on the Gardaus coast, rather than around the Rushalya rivermouth; with only a few large malls the area consists mostly of specialty shops, supplying the workers in the area. At the same time Giregaus Road which stretches from the coast northeast into northern [[Garnoye remis]] has a reputation for famous high schools, with no less than three famous junior high and two senior high schools along it. ==History== ==Iselniragan Today== ==Neighbourhoods== ==Famous Buildings== ==Notes== [[category:Neighbourhoods of Isana]] Taiberseimi 3596 16951 2006-12-03T04:54:53Z Sirica 257 [[Taiberseimi]] moved to [[Taiberseimi-dego]]: In order to better clarify the title of the district, and to bring it in line with naming practices #REDIRECT [[Taiberseimi-dego]] Taibergute 3597 16953 2006-12-03T04:55:10Z Sirica 257 [[Taibergute]] moved to [[Taibergute-dego]]: In order to better clarify the title of the district, and to bring it in line with other naming practices #REDIRECT [[Taibergute-dego]] Duke of Andebrea 3599 16966 2006-12-03T06:37:19Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Duke of Andebrea''' was a noble rank in the pre-imperial [[Areth]] kingdom of [[Lazeia (kingdom)|Lazeia]], conferred on the second-born son of the king, or later, as primogeniture gave way to discretionary bequest, on the eldest child of the king other than the Crown Prince. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] Duke of Andebra 3600 52884 2010-03-31T10:02:30Z Tropylium 756 redirects are easier to keep track of than null pages #REDIRECT [[Duke of Andebrea]] Bastenal-dego 3601 16973 2006-12-03T10:23:26Z Sirica 257 '''Bastenal-dego''', numerical designation E1-3, is one of the districts of [[Isana]], located within [[Awenhine remis]]. It is most famously known as being one of the major economic areas of the city, as well as housing the new [[Isana Stock Exchange]] building and the headquarters of the [[Risevan Central Bank]]. The word ''Bastenal'' refers to a certain large pavillion, and contains a fair amount of historical irony; being a word from classical [[Mirselec]] it carries a strong connotation of education and refinement, and in this context it referred to the many pavillions erected within this area, ostensibly for hard-working labourers to rest, and built by money donated by wealthy industrialists and the noveau-riche of Isana during the [[Ibakizaro]]. That they are built on the east side of the bay, instead of the west where the vast majority of the labourers were housed, gives the lie to these acts of charity; nonetheless these days some of the old surviving pavillions have become important historical locations within the city. ==Site and Situation== ==History== ==Bastenal Today== ==Neighbourhoods== ==Famous Buildings== ==Notes== [[category:Neighbourhoods of Isana]] Proto-Thesomalchellean 3602 17276 2006-12-09T12:46:13Z Ebilein 219 /* Phonology */ The '''Proto-Thesom-Alchellean language''' is the hypothetical common ancestor of the Thesom-Alchellean languages.

Lyonaske was historically one of the more populated centres in the north, and has a rich history of settlement. Most notable is its history of settlement by foreigners, a tradition started when in 537 the [[Kingdom of Uriwana]] invited 60 distinguished scholars from what is modern-day [[Kavena]], beseeching them to help him compile a history of the area (a compendium that would later be called the [[Uriwana ta Keinoser]]). ==Geography== The geography of the province is dominated by two rivers, the [[Uremas river|Uremas]] and the [[Galagis river|Galagis]]; while they enter the province fron the northeast and east respectively they converge until, by the time they reach the sea, their mouths are only 11 kilometres away from each other.

While the constitution gives the King substantial autonomy in managing his own estates, as well as certain legislative powers, in practice the monarch rarely uses these powers, and mostly takes on ceremonial roles. The Kingdom of Risevne is, in terms of lineage, the successor state of the [[Kingdom of Masal]] and [[Kingdom of Rarena]], which were merged by marriage in 1249 DN. The kingdom was then extended through all [[Masalne]] in 1477, in the [[Matafengar]], and finally to [[Agalmare]] in 1502; with this extension it also took on the form of a parliamentary monarchy, where the status of the king was laid out beyond doubt but was in turn circumscribed by the [[Afengar]]. While the practice of things have since changed, with the embrace of parliamentary democracy, much of the symbolism of the monarchy remains, a sign of the respect of the Risevani towards the ancient sovereignty. Note: The term ''King of Risevne'' may be used to refer to the monarch hereafter; this is a matter of convenience, not gender discrimination. (In any case there was a profusion of Risevan Queens.) ==Style== ==History== ==The Monarchy Today== ===Political Role=== The monarch of Risevne has considerable powers in theory, and under the Constitution; established practice, however, tends to limit these powers. The monarch is responsible for the appointment of the [[Ganize]], or governmental ministers, as well as the ordaining and approving of the [[Kodobu|Risevan Cabinet]]; this is carried out in an elaborate ritual where the seal of each Ganize is bestowed upon them and an oath of fealty to the monarch and the kingdom is sworn. At the same time he is responsible for the selection of the [[Naruganize]] should a parliament fail to have a clear majority, and he also has the power to override the Naruganize's choice of Ganize, though this power has not been exercised since 1863. At the same time the monarch meets the Naruganize and other senior officials once every week for a briefing, where he or she will be briefed on certain matters, and in turn advises or warns the Naruganize. The monarch, while mostly excluded from the legislative process in modern times, is in fact vested with certain powers in this area as well, as according to the 1827 Constitution; one of the most important and significant is the allowance of a royally imposed temporary veto, where the monarch may force a bill to be frozen for three months, pending debate and another vote, as long as the bill does not have a 2/3 majority within the Afengar. At the same time the monarch is charged with the ''power and responsibility'' to ''ensure that the laws apply throughout the nation, and are not enforced upon a part of the people alone, be the separation for better or worse''; this other royal right gives the monarch the power to suspend for up to nine months a law that can be seen to be discriminatory to a segment of the population (that is, it would only be enforced upon a certain group of people), pending hearings and consultations in the Afengar. ===Finances=== The Risevan [[Royal Estate]] is the source of income for the Risevan monarch, covering all royal expenditures. Under the 1827 Constitution land owned by the monarch cannot be sold, but will pass automatically from one monarch to the next; the monarch is also prohibited from purchasing land above a certain amount. However, the monarch may purchase and sell other assets; this allowance, in turn, has helped transform the Royal House into one of the country's wealthiest families. In 2041, the annual income of the Royal Estate has been estimated at 1.57 billion [[Mirin]]. ===Public Life=== Part of the esteem that Risevani attach to the monarchy derives from their deep involvement in the society of Risevne; within the country the monarch is often known not for any political act, but rather as patrons of learning and the arts. The [[Royal Museum Trust]] was founded by [[Itaran IV of Isana|King Itaran IV]] in 1961 with the goal of reviving and funding many museums which in the postwar period were suffering shortages of funds. It presently provides for 19 museums around the nation, including the famous five [[Royal Museums of Isana]], and has a scheme whereby the government matches every 2 Mirin in Trust contributions with 1 Mirin. The [[Royal Education Foundation]], founded by [[Arnen IV of Risevne|King Arnen IV]] two months after the end of the [[Fourth Global War]] with the original aim of providing for the education of orphans and overaged students who had not been able to enter school during the war years, has since grown to become a major charity for aiding economically disadvantaged families send their children to higher education (primary education is free and compulsory in Risevne). The [[Risevan Royal Scholarship for Higher Education]], often simply known as the ''Koraita Ganatas'' or Royal Grant, is a well-known scholarship for university education in Risevne, and is considered as being even more prestigious than the [[Risevan Governmental Service Scholarship]]. Financed from the Royal Estate as well, the Royal Grant differs from the governmental scholarship in many respects; it has no bond or contract whatsoever, and instead of individual applications the selection process involves school submissions of portfolios of their best students, producing a pool of around 400 candidates who are then whittled down to just 60, of whom a maximum of 6 will get the award in any year. ==Notes== ==See Also== *[[Risevan Royal Regalia]] *[[List of Monarchs of Risevne]] [[category:Risevne]] [[category:Rulers]] Dalcurian Language Homepage 3606 48886 2009-09-03T16:39:21Z Rivendale 279 /* Dalcurian Dictionary */ [[Image:dal title1 peg.jpg]] [[User:Rivendale|Click Here to see disclaimer]] {{Infobox|name=Dal’qörian|pronounce=ɗælkuɹi:jæn (Eng: Dalcurian)<br>[[Media:Dalcurian.ogg|hear pronunciation]]|tu=Present|species=Human|in=[[Dalcuria]] |no=over 3 million|script=Latin alphabet<br>(Dalcurian variant)|tree= [[Thaduracian|Thaduracian]]<br>&nbsp;[[Proto-Dalcurian|Proto-Dalcurian]]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Old Dalcurian|Old Dalcurian]]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Middle Dalcurian<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Modern Dalcurian|morph=Analytic (standard)<br/> Semi-synthetic (Halcarnian)|ms=Nominative-Accusative (pronouns only)|wo=SVO/SOV|creator=Dayle Hill|date= 2003-ongoing}} __TOC__ [[Image:Welcome note in dalscript.jpg]] '''[[Dal'qörian Script|For more on the Dalcurian Script, click here]]''' Transliteration <font color=#151B8D><span style="font-size: 16px">'''Qiöra qoÞ.

It borders [[Lorudac Province]] to the north, [[Besurgana Province]] to the east, and [[Lyonaske Province]] to the south. The capital city of the province is the city of [[Taidore]]. Once the heart of a major coastal kingdom extending north to [[Neiberin Province]], the area known as Pires became an independent fief in 1532; occupying a strategic area, containing both the coast road and the famous fortress of [[Erusanoye]], sited in a mountain pass, it remained politically important even as it gradually declined economically. In modern times the area has experienced a resurgence as a major transport hub and tourist attraction. ==Geography== ==History== ==Economy and Demography== ==Society and Culture== ==Constituent Counties== ==Towns and Cities== *[[Taidore]], the provincial capital *[[Erusa]], the site of the famous Erusanoye, and a famed old city along the western coast ==Famous Locations== [[category:Provinces of Risevne]] Kaitetaiber 3609 17433 2006-12-15T00:21:38Z Sirica 257 '''Kaitetaiber''' is a city located in [[Ofalna Province]], in its east near the boundary with [[Enimdanoi Province]]. Mostly known for being a university town, it houses the [[University of Kaitetaiber]], which was founded in 1482. The city now has a population of 77,372 inhabitants. ==Name== ''Kai te Taiber'' means "Firm Bridge", and refers to the origin of the town at a natural ford of the [[Camizis river]], from which it also derived much of its past prosperity as a milling and transport town. The oldest bridge still extant now dates from 1738, known as the Old Bridge, and is south of the city centre; in total there are now 6 bridges across the Camizis. ==History== While Kaitetaiber is now mostly known for its world-famous university, the history of the city stretches a considerable way farther back. The position of Kaitetaiber, in an expanse of fields and lying along a major route south from the mountains, made it an important hub of trade. The earliest known mention of the town dates from the early 8th century, when it was known as ''Hairmatagusa'', or "Stallion's Ford".

A normal Agin mostly is either a simple geometrical design, or a similarly simple drawing, on a background, and tend to have just one or two colours. An example would be a round black background, on which three circles are drawn touching each other in white, with a silver triangle connecting the centres of the circles; this is the Agin of the [[House of Sesunza]]. ==History== ==Modern Usage== ==Famous Agin== *[[Koraite Agin]] - the Royal Crest, sometimes called the ''Niskazoi'' or Five Branches [[category:Risevan culture]] Oligosynthesis Project 3612 28857 2008-02-13T23:31:52Z Muke 1 category:collaborations The Oligosynthesis Project is a collaborative experiment to create an oligosynthetic conlang.

The Mountain languages are, in some ways, more conservative than the Kassan branch, and in other ways, more innovative. They have retained a larger number of the ancestral genders, as well as a distinct dual number for some genders, with paucal retained in a small number of nouns. They also, however, considerably simplified the verbal system and adopted a decimal number system. Some have also developed a complex system of honorifics. Some have developed more complex phonologies, while others have simplified. The group became more diversified during the [[Great Freeze]], when many of the vallies they'd settled in became isolated from each other and the outside world. Languages in the Mountain family include *[[Sanu]] (''kla sanu'') *[[Qtav]] [[Category:Kasshian languages]] Old Kassan 3619 31758 2008-05-26T21:03:37Z Christina 18 '''Old Kassan''' is the ancestor of the Kassan branch of [[Kasshian languages]]. It was similar in many ways to [[Common Kasshian]]. See the Common Kasshian article for more information. This article will only focus on the differences between Common Kasshian and Old Kassan = Phonology = /h/ was lost. Vowel sequences generally coallesced into diphthongs. Initial ''i'' or ''u'' became ''y'' and ''w''. = Grammar = == Nouns == === Number === The old plural was lost, with the old paucal filling its place === Gender === The [[Common Kasshian#Genders|gender system]] was somewhat simplified. *Gender IX was lost, most were merged into gender VI, except for divinities which were merged into gender XIII *Gender XIII merged with gender XII in the dual and plural *Some body-parts began to take the gender of their possessor *Some nouns moved from gender VII to gender VI === Inflections === ==== Case ==== The [[Common Kasshian#Postpositions|case-like postpositions]] of Common Kasshian became attached to the noun and reduplicated on agreeing adjectivse. == Verbs == === Personal Prefixes === The personal clitics became obligatory prefixes. They were placed on the aspectual auxilary, if any, or the verb itself. Sometimes they were placed in suffix position if there was no auxilary (essentially analyzed as an auxilary with a null form). === Applicatives === The use of these prefixes changed. Dative came to be reanalyzed as the dative-object voice, so- was reanalyzed as the antipassive, while the commitative was used solely in the collocation of ko-ran- (with reflexive ko-) as a reciprocative. === Aspectual auxilaries === These lost their free existence, and became suffixes on the verb. == Pronouns == These were rarely used as free words, mostly as clitics. They lost their dative and postpositional inflections. = Syntax = Old Kassan had freer word-order than Common Kasshian.

The earthquakes, each measuring above 7.7 on the Earthling Richter scale (the strongest measured 9.5), lasted for almost 27 hours, and aftershocks of magnitude Richter 7.2 were felt even four days after the initial tremors, which sent shockwaves around the world. As far afield as [[Scenia]], the Great Earthquake toppled buildings in quakes measuring up to the equivalent of Richter 8.4. Casualties were innumerable, and collations of estimates by historians of antiquity range as far from 900,000 dead at the most conservative to 6.4 million at the most liberal. The Great Quake also resulted in the [[eruption of Mount Eramena]] in the [[Iryagi]] on [[Marcasia]], the effect of which was felt around the globe: besides thick clouds of ash that remained in the air for nearly four months circling the planet, the average global temperature rose by the equivalent of almost 1.5°C, and persisted for more than a decade afterwards. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: History of Ilethes]] [[Category: Geology of Ilethes]] Calendars of Ilethes 3638 17326 2006-12-10T17:10:26Z Denihilonihil 119 The vast majority of the '''calendars of [[Ilethes]]''' are lunar, i.e. they are based on the orbit and appearance of the sister planet, [[Valmante]].

The national language of Arithia is [[Arithide language|Arithide]], and was formally adopted as the official and working language of the [[Arithian Republic]] with the drafting of the republican [[First Constitution of Arithia|constitution]] in 1886 [[CIE]]. At the federal level, it is the only official language, but [[Second Constitution of Arithia|devolution]] in 1979 [[CIE]] provided room for other languages to attain official recognition at the provincial and regional level. Where not listed, the province is to be assumed to have only [[Arithide language|Arithide]] as its official language, as federally. In 1986 [[CIE]], after much acrimony in the municipal parliaments, the municipalities of [[Lazaea]] and [[Isphaea]] successively passed bills mandating the sole use of Arithide in all official matters, state offices and education, on the basis of efficiency, after the cities' administrations were overwhelmed with petitions from numerous immigrant groups demanding official recognition for their languages. ==Cadaeria== ===Bactaea=== ===Nisaea=== The [[Nisaea]]n provincial parliament passed, in 1981 [[CIE]], by a comfortable majority of 61%-31%-8%, a law making the [[Heristide language]] an official language of the province in recognition of the substantial [[Heristians|Heristian]] minority within its borders. ===Odomantaea=== In [[Odomantaea]], a referendum was held alongside the 1980 provincial legislative elections determining whether or not to make [[Herallian language|Herallian]] an official language of the province, passing with more than 70% of the populace voting for. ==Audoria== ===Ebentaea=== [[Ebentaea]] adopted [[Corithide language|Corithide]] as a second official language in 1984 [[CIE]] in its southern counties where the [[Corith]] minority was prevalent, but in a 1996 [[CIE]] provincial law amendment, extended the official status of Corithide across the whole province. ===Erythaea=== ===Posaea=== ===Tannaea=== [[Tannaea (province)|Tannaea]]'s vociferous [[Tannaean revivalism|revivalist]] movement successfully pushed for the institution of the [[Tannaean language]] as an official language of the province in 1984 [[CIE]], while education had already begun in Tannaean approximately three years earlier. ==See also== *[[Arithia]] *[[Administrative subdivisions of Arithia]] *[[Regionalism in Arithia]] *[[Minorities of Arithia]] {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Politics of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arophania]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Uberish 3640 17336 2006-12-11T00:37:51Z Eura23 281 /* See Also */ == Introduction == Uberish is a constructed language created by Eugene Rabinovich. Its aims are to create a grammatically complex structure, while maintaining easy to remember rules and eliminating exceptions. Uberish is an agglutinative language, and is highly inflectional. Verbs are conjugated according to mood, tense/aspect combination, person, and number. Nouns are declined according to case and number. There are also possessive constructs and predicate nominative endings for nouns. There is no grammatical gender in Uberish, nor are there articles. Uberish is a head last language, that is, it contains post-positions, not prepositions (they go after the noun, not before it). This wikibook is still in the construction stages, and if any mistakes are noticed, such as incorrect inflection, or the use of qu instead of ku (this arises from the heavy borrowing from Latin), please mention this in my talk page. ==See Also== For an elaborate source for learning Uberish, see the [[http://conlang.wikia.com/wiki/Uberish Conlang Wikia]] entry for Uberish.

By far the largest conurbation in Risevne, and one of the largest conurbations in the world by population, it is also large in area since Taluste is in fact on the east of the [[Feladmena Plain]] while Isana and Bresnga lie on the west.

He invades Spain in the 780s, but has little success there, after a Basque force destroyed his supply chain. In 800, the Kingdoms of Greater Saxony, [[Sdannland]], Frisia, and Danmark declared. ==9th Century== * 804: The [[Ummayyad Caliphate]] enters southern Gaul, conquering the coastline, but held back at the border of the Papal States. * 805: The dangerous border with the Ummayyad Caliphate encourages greater unity within the Papal States. In contrast, the Kingdom of Sicily divides between the Kingdom of Naples on the mainland and the Kingdom of Sicily on the island. * 806: The Corsica Conference, negotiations between Gaul, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Naples, the Valears, the Papal States, Retia, and the Ummayyad Caliphate, result in a historic agreement on the part of the Caliphate to vacate Navarre (Basqueland), Catalunya (northeast Iberia), and Provence (southern Gaul). These three take on the role of "buffer states", separating the Caliphate from Europe proper. * 807: By this time, the Anglo-Saxons in Angland have given up on conquests into the various Celtic kingdoms for the moment. Thus, the Kingdoms of Éire, Cymru, and Alba, the Principality of Mannin, and the Grand Duchy of Kernow are allowed to persist for the moment. * 813: The remnants of Charlemagne's kingdom in northern Gaul, led by his grandson, secede from Gaul, forming the Kingdom of Franks. Following this example, the northwest corner of Gaul also secedes, naming itself the Kingdom of Breizh. Breizh officially declares an end to Christianity as its state religion. * 822: A series of skirmishes on the Byzantine-Abbasid border erupt into all-out war. The rising tensions in the region are pushed to the limit when the predominately Christian Abbasid province of Armenia declares itself to be a part of the Byzantine Empire. Pressure is further placed on the warring nations by the thread of Khazar and Georgian armies from the north. * 830: The various "barbarian" tribes begin to form formal kingdoms: Avaria, Magyar, Bulgaria, Mordovia, and Volga-Bulgaria declared. * 831: The Slavic Kingdom of Czechoslovakia splits when the Slovens in the south declare the kingdom of Slovenia. This sparks great and persistent tension between the two nations and nearly a full-scale war. However, the new King of Slovene is supported by the KIng of Magyar, so war is postponed for the moment. * 834: The Abbasid Caliphate cedes the island of Malta to Sicily. * 845: A series of schisms divide Islamic North Africa into the Sultanate of Nekor, south of the Ummayyad Caliphate, the Emirate of Ilfriqiya between Nekor and Neo-Carthage, the Aghlabid Caliphate, west of Neo-Carthage, and the Fatimid Cliphate in Egypt. * 850: The island of Krete secedes from the Byzantine Empire, siding with the Abbasid Caliphate in the ongoing war in that region. * 863: After 41 years of on and off fighting, the Abbasids and the Byzantines declare peace, both exhausted from years of war. * 870: A border dispute between the Meroitic Kingdom of Nubia and the Fatimid Caliphate threatens war. Axum, to the Fatimids' southwest, makes an agreement to side with Nubia in the event of war. A frightened Fatimid Caliphate complies with Nubia's demands. * 875: The Kingdom of Dalmatia and the Kingdom of Magyar fight a brief war. Dalmatia, with assistance from neighboring Romania, gains a significant amount of land from Magyar. The Dalmatic Magyars will continue to be a major point of argument between the two countries for years. * 887: After 83 years, trade between the Ummayyad Caliphate and and Gaul recommences. * 899: The undefined area between Czechoslovakia and Gaul becomes Allmennland. ==10th Century== * 904: The Valears, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, and Krete form a loose defensive alliance. The Principality of Venezia. * 905: Following Venezia's example, the Lombard League secedes from the Papal States. * 909: Kievan Rus', long at odds with its neighbor, invades the Novgorod Republic, but is quickly repulsed. The Fatimids invade the Aghlabid Caliphate. * 913: Vikingland begins a series of raids along the eastern coast of Alba and the nearby Innse Cat. * 925: The Vikingland raids cease after the Vikings seize a sizable portion of Alba. * 931: Prussian-Polish border disputes threaten war between the two. Lithuania promises to aid Prussia. Poland seeks aid from Frisia. * 935: The Abbasid Caliphate denies passage to Jerusalem-bound pilgrims. * 941: Slovenia converts to Christianity. Under threat of war from Byzantium, the Abbasid Caliphate agrees to allow pilgrims to travel to Jerusalem. * 946: Magyar converts to Christianity. * 953: Alba launches the FIrst War of Reclamation, gaining back more than half of the Viking-owned territory. * 962: Khazar begins an invasion of Georgia. * 965: Alba's Second War of Reclamation results in a stalemate which is ended only with the descent of winter. Alba's army returns to its reacquired territory. * 970: Khazar completes its conquest of Georgia. Feeling threatened, Mordovia allies itself with Volga-Bulgaria. * 974: Alba's Third War of Reclamation is finished with a resounding victory at the Battle of Obar Dheadhain. However, the Innse Cat, now called Hjaltland, remain under Viking control, and will indefinitely. * 981: Nekor and Ilfriqiya go to war over a border dispute. * 984: Ilfriqiya's armies stop advancing after they take the western half of Nekor. Erik the Red exiled from Islend. King Svend I of Danmark deposed. * 985: Erik the Red returns to Islend to organize a colony in Gronland. * 994: Svend I regains the throne of Danmark, despite the efforts of his rivals to prevent his return home. * 1000: Leif Erikson explores Vinland and founds a colony there. ==11th Century== * 1006: Neo-Carthage invades Ilfriqiya. * 1011: The first known manuscript in Kathagian Gothic written, a peace treaty between Ilfriqiya and Neo-Carthage. Neo-Carthage nearly doubles in size. * 1017: Axum's monarch is assassinated, throwing the country into chaos. The Fatimid Caliphate capitalizes on this by launching an invasion of Nubia. * 1034: After 228 years of relative peace, tensions begin to flare between Catalunya and the Ummayyad Caliphate. Around the same time, the first fully-recognizable Arabo-Romance document is written. *1041: The alliance of Mediterranean islands meets in Palma in the Valears to discuss the eventuality of an Ummayyad-Catalunya war. * 1043: Catalunyan king Alfonso III enters the Ummayyad Caliphate with his army, leading to the brutal First Ummayyad War. * 1045: Representatives from Navarre, Provence, and the Valears enter Catalunya in an attempt to restore peace, but are rejected. * 1050: End of the First Ummayyad War. King Alfonso returns to Catalunya having accomplished little. * 1052: The Second Corisca Conference convened. Representatives from Gaul, Navarre, Provence, the Lombard League, Venezia, the Papal States, the Valears, Corsica, Sardinia, Naples, Sicily, Retia, and Krete discuss a punishment for Alfonso's breaking the 200-year truce. * 1053: The armies of the attendees of the Second Corsica Conference enter Catalunya and take its capital. King Alfonso is brought to Roma for trial. * 1055: King Alfonso III of Catalunya is sentenced to twenty years of exile in one of the Germanic states: Franks, Angland, Allmennland, Greater Saxony, Frisia, Sdannland, Danmark, Vikingland, Svedland, Islend, Gronland, or Vinland. He settles in Franks, where he joins the local sentiment for an invasion of Angland. The Seljuq Turks invade the Abbasid Caliphate, take Baghdad, and seize control of the Caliphate. * 1066: Franks invades Angland. However, the natives are well-prepared, and the neighboring Celtic nations, recognizing the Frankish threat, send armies to Angland's aid, and Brezhon on the mainland, long allied with the Grand Duchy of Kernow, launches a simultaneous counter-attack on Franks itself. It is noted as the first coordinated military effort in recorded history. Brezhon acquires a portion of western Franks. Frankish forces are driven decisively out of Angland at the Battle of Hastings by the army of Anglish King Henry, thanks to help from Kernow. * 1070: Alfonso returns to Catalunya and lives out the rest of his life therre. Khazar begins to encroach upon its borders with the Seljuq Empire. * 1076: Khazar armies enter the Seljuq Empire. Axum and Nubia make a secret agreement to attack the Fatimid Caliphate. * 1080: Khazar territory now extends into the Seljuq Empire. Axum and Nubia launch a joint invasion of the Fatimid Caliphate. * 1084: Khazar armies are within 100 miles of Bahdad. The Seljuq Empire cedes much of its northern territory to Khazar. Khazar reguses land passage through it to Jerusalem-bound pilgrims. Nubia recovers the territory it lost during the Fatimid invasion in in 1017.

The region covered an area approximately corresponding to the borders of modern-day [[Tannaea (province)|Tannaea province]], albeit slightly smaller. It was inhabitated first by the [[Eleena]] (known to the [[Areth]] as the ''Tann''), but was later also settled by the [[Areth]] and various other ethnic groups. Today nearly a third of the region's population is ''[[dusleida]]''. The region has had a chequered history, being first conquered and dominated by the [[Lazeian Empire]], then the [[Andu Empire]], and subsequently reconquered in the campaign of [[Arithian Reunification]]. As part of the province of Tannaea, it achieved autonomy for the first time in over two thousand years, with the [[Arithian parliament]]'s passage of the [[Devolution Act]] in 1979 [[CIE]]. ==History== The area was probably first settled by the [[Eleena]], but due to the lack of written records until the arrival of the [[Areth]] and a geology and climate notoriously unfriendly to archaeology, the assumption may never be either proven or disproven. The earliest surviving attested references to the region and the Eleena date back to the 5th century B[[CIE]], coming from a diary wherein the royal explorer [[Azumats Ēporigates]] of the kingdom of [[Rabia-Satuka]] (in modern-day [[Mylaea]]) comments on the "cultural backwardness of a land and its people, who are called ''Tann''". It is not known whence he arrived at the name, but the appellation stuck. [[Areth]] influence and direct control would gradually spread into and through the region over the next three hundred years, through trade and colonialistic treaties of settlement and jurisdiction that granted the Areth considerable power, as well as extraterritoriality. Formal cession of the region to control of the [[Lazeian Empire]] occurred in 138 B[[CIE]], and the region remained Areth territory until the fall of the Empire, when it passed, for 45 years, to the [[Andu Empire]]. Much of the territory was recovered by remaining Areth forces in the area, establishing the mediaeval (Areth) kingdom of [[Palacaea]], which consisted exclusively of Tannaean land. The region remained in [[Areth]] possession through the [[Reunification of Arithia|reunification]], but was unincorporated into the modern state until the [[Republican Revolution]] abolished the monarchy in 1886 [[CIE]]. By then, the new Tannaean province was already home to more than the [[Eleena]]: of the population of 4 million, more than 800,000 were of Areth descent, and a further 200,000 of other assorted [[Dusleida|foreign ancestry]]. {{seealso|Tannaea (province)#History}} {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Regions of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] Dusleida 3647 44447 2009-03-25T17:46:34Z Denihilonihil 119 '''''Dusleida''''' {{IPA|[dʉs'li:da]}} is an [[Arithide language|Arithide]] term, referring to inhabitants of an area, such as a neighbourhood, a province, a country or a whole continent, who were born outside it and do not, by birth and heritage, share the common culture of the area, even though they may be fully assimilated. This definition means that, for example, an ethnic [[Areth]] who was born and raised in [[Dethria]] and is completely alien to his native culture is still considered ''dusleida'' in Dethria, but no longer once he returns to [[Arithia]]. The phrase may be seen as a close equivalent of the Chinese ''wàishěngrén'' (外省人), though with a slightly weaker exclusive connotation.

It is considered part of the "rich world" of [[Ilethes]], and is an international political heavyweight, leading the world in such varied fields such as civil liberties and environmental protection. While its population of 188 million is rather densely packed into 901,015 sq km, Dethria has the highest standard of living in the world{{ref|SOL}}. It also has one of the highest proportions of urban population, with nearly 85% of its population living in urban areas{{ref|urbanpop}}. Dethria is bordered on the north, on [[Eresphria]], by [[Phodaia]], [[Caithria]] and the city-state of [[Vichau]]; on its south on [[Canthres]], it borders [[Savonia]] and [[Lamecia]]. Holdover territories from the [[Colonialism in Ilethes|colonial period]] include the [[Mimotelle islands|Mimotelles]], [[Thricum]], and the semi-autonomous special administrative districts of [[Euripia]], [[Solacia]] and [[Genidia]]. ==Notes== #{{note|SOL}} According to the [[Progress Index]] as developed by the [[Abelt Institute]], Dethria achieved a score of 94.6 out of a maximum possible of 100. #{{note|urbanpop}} Again, according to the definitions provided by the Abelt Institute. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Political territories of Ilethes]] [[Category: Eresphria]] [[Category: Canthres]] [[Category: Dethria]] Tannaea (province) 3651 23782 2007-07-25T07:56:14Z Denihilonihil 119 {{seealso|Tannaea (region)}} '''Tannaea''' is a province of [[Arithia]] on the southeast coast of [[Marcasia]]. It was established with the formation of the republic of [[Arithia]] in 1886 [[CIE]], and roughly corresponds to the historical region of [[Tannaea (region)|Tannaea]], the homeland of the [[Eleena]] (or Tann) people. Of the 12 million inhabitants of the province, however, nearly 5 million are of an ethnicity other than Eleena, a consequence of the historical marginalisation of the Eleena in the region for centuries under the rule of the [[Lazeian Empire]] and the general impoverishment that ensued after its collapse. The demographic trend in favour of the ''[[dusleida]]'' population is accentuating as the region starts to become recognised for its proximity to the [[Issol A'i]] as well as the major markets of the eastern hemisphere, an advantage boosted by the relatively low price of labour in the province. ==Land & climate== The terrain of Tannaea consists of two distinct regions: a relatively flat interior, and a considerably mountainous coastline, each of which occupies approximately half of the province's territory. The province is drained by two major rivers, the [[Sugai river|Sugai]] and the [[Etui river|Etui]], which originate further west in the [[Iryagi]], providing irrigation to the province's farms, and which are subsequently fed by heavy rainfall brought by clouds blown inland from the [[Denurean Sea]] by the [[kapri]] winds that originate in [[Istheusia]]. ==History== {{seealso|Tannaea (region)#History}} The Tannaean province was not established until after the [[Republican Revolution]], in 1886 [[CIE]], despite nearly two thousand years of almost-uninterrupted [[Areth]] rule over the region since its formal subsumption by the [[Lazeian Empire]] in 138 B[[CIE]]. The marginalisation of the province and unchecked inflow of foreigners meant that upon its incorporation as a province, nearly a quarter of Tannaea's population was made up of [[Dusleida|foreign-born groups]]. Since then, the ratio has increased to almost one third on the back of hastened economic development (which brought in foreigners to work, who eventually settled), fallen back a little in the decade up to 1986 [[CIE]] as regionalist and revivalist movements tensed the political situation, and risen again as successive governments have liberalised the economy, raised competitiveness, improved living standards and exhibited tolerance and welcome to foreigners. Despite being the homeland of the [[Eleena]], that ethnic group has always been marginalised in Tannaea, systematically as a "backward" people under the empire, and later because the privation thus caused robbed the Eleena of many opportunities for improvement, such as through education, which remained expensive and only in [[Arithide language|Arithide]], a language unfamiliar to them. It was not until 1901 [[CIE]] that the first [[Tannaean language]]-medium school was opened, and another three decades before such schools became common. ==Politics== ===After devolution=== Contrary to the fears of many ''[[dusleida]]'' in the province, the [[Devolution Act]] of 1979 [[CIE]], when passed, did not add fuel to the brewing regionalism in Tannaea (see [[Regionalism in Arithia]]). Whereas predictions had been rife in the media that the province would be set on a slippery slope towards increasing and increasingly forceful demands for independence, and that attitudes towards the non-[[Eleena]] in the province would harden&mdash;fears that were fanned by the alarmist [[Tannaean Unionist Party]] (TII)&mdash;the actual passage of bills in the new [[Tannaean parliament]], like the [[Tannaean Language Act]] of 1984 [[CIE]], which instituted the [[Tannaean language]] as official, actually moderated the nationalist fervour in the province. Since the Devolution Act and its consequent bills, the TII has more or less faded to a shadow of its former rallying might, and is no longer a significant force in either Tannaean or national politics. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Political territories of Ilethes]] [[Category: Marcasia]] [[Category: Arithia]] User:Rivendale 3652 47249 2009-07-14T17:33:29Z Rivendale 279 [[Image:Daleyrecent.jpg|thumb|250px|Dayle Hill: Creator of Dal'qörian, Germish, E'hwelos]]Hi all, my name is Dayle, I'm 37, an Englishman residing in the north east of England, and I am the creator of [[Dal'qörian|Dal'qörian]] [[Germish|Germish]] and [[E'hwelos]].

The continent is noted for its vast climatic contrasts, between a warm temperate zone in the southeast and a polar zone in the northwest despite its relatively small territorial expanse. Eresphria is is located in the upper-left corner of a map in the Gathenic depiction. ==Names== The continent was originally known as ''Dethria'', a name which, due to its identity with that of the [[Dethria|Dethrian state]], caused much confusion and inconvenience in navigation, transport and other spheres, and which thus came under increasing pressure to be changed. The change was effected by general international agreement (see [[Vitakho Agreement]]) after almost two decades of debate, and the continent was renamed after ''Erespha'', the god of the setting sun in [[Dethrian mythology]], literally ''Erespha'' + ''herii'' "land" = ''Erespherii'' "Land of Erespha". For the origin of the name ''Dethria'', please see the [[Dethria|relevant article]]. ==Climate== Eresphria's climate is generally temperate, but along its northern coast may be polar, due to south-bound cold currents from the [[Reor Camoresis]]. The south and west, which witness the confluence of both sea and air currents from the frigid north and warm south, are balmy almost perennially, and the high precipitation has encouraged the growth of agriculture, especially in thirsty crops. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Continents of Ilethes]] [[Category: Eresphria]] Dal'qörian 2 3655 17677 2006-12-25T19:41:44Z Rivendale 279 Sdanniskar language 3656 32190 2008-06-03T06:11:35Z Blackkdark 1214 /* Morphology */ {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#0000CC" align="center" |'''Sdannískar''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||Kingdom of [[Sdannland]] |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||[[Saxon Defeat]] |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||ca. 32 million |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||[[Wikipedia:Indo-European languages|Indo-European]]<br> &nbsp;[[Wikipedia:Germanic languages|Germanic]]<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;[[Wikipedia:West Germanic languages|West Germanic]]<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Sdannískar''' |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||SVO (SOV in infinitive clauses; VSO in imperative clauses and contrafactual statements) |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: ||Fusional |- |valign="top"|Morphosyntactic alignment: ||Accusative-Dative |- |valign="top"|Native script: ||Fuþark |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#0000CC" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||[[User:Sectori|Sectori]]||2006 |} '''[[Sdanniskar|Sdannískar]]''' is a West Germanic language spoken in the Kingdom of [[Sdannland]], called '''Kyningdómar Sdannlánder''' in Sdannískar.

The present indicative conjugation of regular strong verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | -an verbs || colspan=2 | -en verbs || colspan=2 | -on verbs |- | Person || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural |- | 1st || -u || -am || -u || -am || -u || -om |- | 2nd || -ar || -aþ || -ær || -æþ || -or || -oþ |- | 3rd || -aþ || -and || -æþ || -and || -oþ || -ond |} ===Preterite Indicative Conjugation=== The singular forms of the preterite indicative are derived from the second principal part and the plural forms from the third. The preterite indicative conjugation of all regular strong verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! Person || Singular || Plural |- | 1st || -(-) || -um |- | 2nd || *-t || -uþ |- | 3rd || -(-) || -un |} <nowiki>*</nowiki>The stem of a verb assimilates voicing to that second person singular ending, e.g. *hǽvt > hǽft. ===Present Subjunctive Conjugation=== The present subjunctive of strong verbs is derived from the first principal part. The preterite indicative conjugation of all regular strong verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! Person || Singular || Plural |- | 1st || -æ || -æm |- | 2nd || -ær || -æþ |- | 3rd || -æþ || -ænd |} ===Preterite Subjunctive Conjugation=== The preterite subjunctive of strong verbs is derived from the third principal parts. The preterite subjunctive conjugation of all regular strong verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! Person || Singular || Plural |- | 1st || -(-) || -um |- | 2nd || *-t || -uþ |- | 3rd || -(-) || -un |} <nowiki>*</nowiki>This form assimilates voicing as the preterite indicative. ===Imperative Conjugation=== The imperative of strong verbs has only two forms: second person singular and second person plural. It is derived from the first principal part. The imperative conjugation of all regular strong verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! Person || Singular || Plural |- | 2nd || -a || -aþ |} ===Present Participle and Gerund=== The present participle declines as a normal weak adjective, and the gerund as a strong masculine a-stem noun. They are derived by suffixing the following to the first principle part: {| border=1 ! colspan=3 | Present Participle || colspan=3 | Gerund |- | -an || -en || -on || -an || -en || -on |- | -ándon || -ǽndon || -óndon || -ánþar || -ǽnþar || -ónþar |} ==Weak Verb Conjugation== Weak verbs, which typically, though not always, end in -an, share the same endings for every tense. Regular weak verbs also have invariable stems. ===Present Indicative Conjugation=== The present indicative conjugation of all regular weak verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! Person || Singular || Plural |- | 1st || -e || -em |- | 2nd || -er || -eþ |- | 3rd || -eþ || -end |} ===Preterite Indicative Conjugation=== The preterite indicative conjugation of all regular weak verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! Person || Singular || Plural |- | 1st || -ed || -edum |- | 2nd || -ett || -eduþ |- | 3rd || -ed || -edun |} ===Present Subjunctive Conjugation=== The present subjunctive conjugation of all regular weak verbs is as follows: {| border=1 !

Person || Singular || Plural |- | 1st || -id || -idum |- | 2nd || -itt || -iduþ |- | 3rd || -id || -idun |} ===Imperative Conjugation=== The imperative conjugation of all regular weak verbs is as follows: {| border=1 ! Person || Singular || Plural |- | 2nd || -a || -aþ |} ===Present Participle and Gerund=== The present participle ( which declines as a regular weak adjective) and the gerund (which declines as a strong masculine a-stem noun) are derived by suffixing the following: {| border=1 ! Present Participle || Gerund |- | -éndon || -énþar |} ==Irregular Verb Conjugation== The most common irregular verbs in Svannískar are '''wésan''' "to be" and '''dón''' "to do". Their paradigms are as follows. ===Wésan=== {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | Indicative || colspan=2 | Subjunctive || Imperative |- | || Present || Preterite || Present || Preterite || Imperative |- | 1Ps || ím || wás || ým || wór || (-) |- | 2Ps || ís || wást || ýs || wórt || bý |- | 3Ps || íst || wás || ýst || wór || (-) |- | 1Pp || ésumes || wórum || ésymes || wórum || (-) |- | 2Pp || ésuþ || wóruþ || ésyþ || wóruþ || býþ |- | 3Pp || sínd || wórun || sýnd || wórun || (-) |} ===Dón=== {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | Indicative || colspan=2 | Subjunctive || Imperative |- | || Present || Preterite || Present || Preterite || Imperative |- | 1Ps || dó || díde || dǿ || dýde || (-) |- | 2Ps || dós || dídes || dǿs || dýdes || dó |- | 3Ps || dóst || dídeþ || dǿst || dýdeþ || (-) |- | 1Pp || dóm || dídem || dǿm || dýdem || (-) |- | 2Pp || dóþ || dídeþ || dǿþ || dýdeþ || dóþ |- | 3Pp || dónd || dídend || dǿnd || dýdend || (-) |} ===Háven=== {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | Indicative || colspan=2 | Subjunctive || Imperative |- | || Present || Preterite || Present || Preterite || Imperative |- | 1Ps || hávu || hád || hávæ || hǽd || (-) |- | 2Ps || hávæs || hátt || hávæs || hǽtt || háva |- | 3Ps || hávæþ || hád || hávæþ || hǽd || (-) |- | 1Pp || hávam || hádum || hávæm || hǽdum || (-) |- | 2Pp || hávæþ || háduþ || hávæþ || hǽduþ || hávaþ |- | 3Pp || hávand || hádun || hávænd || hǽdun || (-) |} ==Pronominal Morphology== Svannískar has three personal (or inanimate) pronouns, all of which have irregular non-nomiantive forms, though they do often follow patterns in these. However, only the third person pronoun '''sa''' has instrumental case forms. ===First Person Pronoun=== The first person pronoun stands for the person(s) speaking. It is declined as follows: {| border=1 ! Case || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || ik || wir |- | Gen || min || únser |- | Dat || me || uns |- | Acc || mik || uns |} ===Second Person Pronoun=== The second person pronoun stands for the person(s) being addressed by the speaker. It is declined as follows: {| border=1 ! Case || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || þu || jur |- | Gen || þin || ýwer |- | Dat || þe || yw |- | Acc || þik || yw |} ===Third Person Pronoun=== The third person pronoun stands for a person or thing spoken of by the speaker. '''Sa''' and its forms describe nouns masculine in gender, '''so''' and its forms things feminine, and '''þat''' and its forms things neuter. {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | Masculine || colspan=2 | Feminine || colspan=2 | Neuter |- | Case || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || sa || þæ || so || þor || þat || þo |- | Gen || þes || þéro || þéror || þǽro || þes || þéro |- | Dat || þésmo || þǽmir || þéræ || þǽmir || þésmo || þǽmir |- | Acc || þen || þan || þo || þor || þat || þo |- | Ins || þy || þǽmir || þéræ || þǽmir || þy || þǽmir |} ====Sa as Demonstrative==== Technically speaking, '''sa''', '''so''', '''þat''' is a demonstrative adjective/pronoun, equivalent to English "this", "that", or "yon". It is a cognate to Old English '''se''', Gothic '''sa'''. ====Sa as Article==== '''Sa''', ever useful, has yet another use as the definite article. '''Sa''' and its forms may be used prior to a noun to ascribe definiteness to it '''''the''' cat'', '''''the''' dog'', and so on. ===Pronoun Use=== Like French or English, pronouns in Svannískar are always be used, though this is by convention rather than necessity. In some particularly ancient texts, however, the pronouns are dropped, based on the assumption that the reader would be able to differentiate the verb forms (which one might suppose would be true today, but it remains convention to use pronouns nonetheless). ==Adjectival Morphology== Adjectives in Svannískar decline just as nouns or pronouns do. However, rather than being divided into classes of weak or strong adjectives the way nouns are, adjectives sometimes decline weak, sometimes strong. Adjectives decline weak if: * ...they follow '''sa''' used as an article. * ...they are a numeric adjective (except '''ǽnar''', "one"). * ...they are the second (or third, fourth, etc.) adjective in a noun phrase. * ...they are a present participle. * ...they follow a conjugated verb. * ...they are a comparative ending in '''-íron'''<br> The following adjectives never decline weak: * Past participles * '''ǽnar''', '''ǽno''', '''ǽna''' * Possessive pronouns * Superlatives in '''-ístar'''. ===Strong Adjective Pattern=== The following are the declension endings for adjectives declining strong. {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | Masculine || colspan=2 | Feminine || colspan=2 | Neuter |- | Case || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || -ar || -æ || -o || -or || -a || -o |- | Gen || -er || -æro || -ero || -æro || -er || -æro |- | Dat || -esma || -æmir || -æ || -æmir || -esma || -æmir |- | Acc || -ano || -an || -o || -or || -a || -o |- | Ins || -o || -æmir || -æ || -æmir || -esma || -æmir |} Sample adjective: góðar, góðo, góða (good) {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | Masculine || colspan=2 | Feminine || colspan=2 | Neuter |- | Case || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || góð-ar || góð-æ || góð-o || góð-or || góð-a || góð-o |- | Gen || góð-er || góð-æro || góð-ero || góð-æro || góð-er || góð-æro |- | Dat || góð-esma || góð-æmir || góð-æ || góð-æmir || góð-esma || góð-æmir |- | Acc || góð-ano || góð-an || góð-o || góð-or || góð-a || góð-o |- | Ins || góð-o || góð-æmir || góð-æ || góð-æmir || góð-esma || góð-æmir |} ===Weak Adjective Pattern=== {| border=1 ! || colspan=2 | Masculine || colspan=2 | Feminine || colspan=2 | Neuter |- | Case || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural |- | Nom || -on || -an || -on || -on || -o || -onu |- | Gen || *-in || -anam || -on || -onam || *-in || -onom |- | Dat || *-in || -num || -on || -um || *-in || -um |- | Acc || -anu || -anun || -onu || -onu || -o || -onu |- | Ins || *-in || -num || -on || -um || *-in || -um |} Forms marked with asterixes cause i-umlaut.

It has moderately complex syntax, mostly concerned with different clause types, word order, and adjective placement. This section will aslo deal with the uses of the various verb forms, as well as the formation of compound tenses. ==Verbal Morphology== Sdannískar's verbs inflect for a great many things. Each verb has four principle parts: infinitive, first person singular preterite indicative, first person plural preterite indicative, and past participle. Each stem has a number of things derived from it: * 1. present indicative, participle, imperative, and subjunctive. * 2. all singular preterite indicative forms. * 3. all preterite plural indicative and preterite subjunctive forms. * 4. all forms of the past participle, and any derived forms. ===Strong Verbs=== Some verbs in Sdannískar are classified as ''strong verbs'', characterized by an internal vowel shift (ablaut) in principal parts 2-4. There are five classes of strong verbs (although class IV is divided into two subclasses), characterized by the end of their ablaut pattern. * I: a > æ > i > i (i-stems) ('''námon''', '''nǽm''', '''nímum''', '''genímtar'''--name) * II: o > ø > u >u (u-stems) ('''bowan''', '''bǿw''', '''búwum''', '''gebúwtar'''--inhabit) * III: i(l,r,m,n) > a(l,r,m,n) > u(l,r,m,n) > u(l,r,m,n) (consonant-stems; C-stems) ('''írran''', '''árr''', '''úrrum''', '''gejúrrtar'''--fall from grace, err) * IVa: i > y > u > u (y-stems) ('''nímman''', '''nýmm''', '''númmum''', '''genúmmtar'''--take) * IVb: u > y > i > i (y-stems) ('''þrútan''', '''þrýt''', '''þrítum''', '''geþríttar'''--threaten) * V: a > æ > o > o (o-stems) ('''sprákan''', '''sprǽk''', '''sprókum''', '''gespróktar'''--speak) ===Weak Verbs=== Most verbs in Sdannískar are classified as ''weak verbs'', which lack the internal vowel shift. Weak verbs have a single set of conjugation endings for each tense. ===Preterite-Present Verbs=== A very few verbs in Sdannískar (notably '''máġan''', "be able" and skállan "hope, wish") behave in the present tense as if they were the preterites of strong verbs, and their plural present indicatives are the same as all of their preterite forms. Preterite-present verbs have different principal parts from other verbs: * 1. Infinitive * 2. First person singular, present indicative * 3. First person plural, present indicative * 4. First person singular, preterite indicative<br> For example, the principle parts of máġan: máġan, mǽġ, míġum, míġ. ===Indicative Mood=== The indicative mood is used to make factual statements, tell fictional stories, and to quote another person. The indicative mood is the default mood, and is used in the vast majority of cases where a verb is used. * I ''run''. * John ''walked'' to school that day. * "He said, 'I ''love'' to swim.'" ===Subjunctive Mood=== The subjunctive mood is much less common. It is used to express contrafactual ideas and thoughts, as well as to make indirect statements, to express possibility or wish, and the like. The subjunctive mood can also express exhortation (indirect commands). * ''Had'' I time, I would help. * I ''wish'' I that I ''could'' help. * ''Let'' them ''come''. ===Imperative Mood=== The imperative mood is used to give direct commands. It is generally considered impolite to use the imperative mood with one's elders or superiors. * ''Come'' here. * ''O come'' all ''ye'' faithful. * ''Do'' as I say. ===Present Tense=== The present tense expresses action simultaneous to or closely following the speaking. Many modal auxiliary verbs have one meaning in the present tense and another one in the preterite, an important distinction to make. * I ''walk''. * I ''am about to walk''. * I ''will walk''. ===Preterite Tense=== The preterite tense expresses action prior to the speaking. It typically carries either an imperfect (used to) sense or a perfective (simple past) sense, but in older texts it is also often used where a more recent writer would use the modal perfect. ===Modal Auxiliaries=== The subjunctive forms of a number of verbs can be used with the infinitive or either participle of another verb to take on a secondary connotation, such as English ''will'', ''would'', ''can'', ''could'', and so on. Many of these verbs have different connotations depending on whether they are preterite or present tense forms. Many, such as '''skállan''' and '''máġan''' are preterite-present verbs, and many also have irregular preterites ('''wóld''' and '''skóld''', for example). Here are some of the most common such verbs: * '''máġan''': can (present), could (preterite); plain meaning: to be able (to) * '''háven''': have [verb]ed (with past participle); plain meaning: to have * '''wýllon''': will (present), would (preterite); plain meaning: to want, wish * '''skállan''': shall (present), should (preterite); plain meaning: to wish, hope ===Infinitive=== The infinitive is equivalent to the English infinitive, though in translation the English "to" is not obligatory: '''ik wýllu fáran''' (I want to go) vs. '''ik wýllæ fáran''' (I will go). Infinitives in Sdannískar may end in -an, -en, or -on. ===Present Participle=== The present participle is equivalent to the English present participle. As in English, it is used in the formation of the progressive tenses, but unlike English it also appears in the immediate future tense: '''ik ím fárandar''' (I am going) vs. '''ik fáru fárandar''' (I am going to go). ===Past Participle=== The past participle is equivalent to the English past participle. Like in English, it is used in the formation of the modal perfect tenses and the passive voice: '''ik hávu gefírtar''' (I have gone) vs. '''ik ím for-gewolttar''' (I am wished for). ===Gerund=== The gerund is equivalent to the English gerund. It is used as a verbal noun. It can also function as a defective supine form with verbs of motion, best translated by the infinitive: '''fáranþar íst góðar''' (running is good) vs. '''ik sándu þan fýhtanþa''' (I send them to fight--lit. "for fighting") ==Compound Tenses== There are a great number of compound tense forms in Svannískar. Compound tenses are formed by a combination of a modal verb (usually one of the above) and either an infinitive or a participle. The compound tenses are as follows. ===Modal Perfect=== The modal perfect tenses are formed by combining the verb '''háven''' with the past participle of a verb. They are equivalent to the English perfect tenses: * '''ik hávu gefírtar''' (I have gone) * '''þu hǽft gefýhtar''' (you have fought) ===Progressive Tenses=== The progressive tenses are formed by combining the verb '''wésan''' with the present participle of a verb. They are equivalent to the English progressive tenses: * '''ik ím farándar''' (I am going) * '''þu ís fýhtandar''' (you are fighting) ===Passive Voice=== The passive voice is formed by combining the verb '''wésan''' with the past participle of a verb. It is the equivalent to the English passive voice: * '''sa íst gegíftar''' (it is given) * '''þu ís gekwúþtar''' (you are told) ===Modal Future=== The modal future tenses are formed by combining the subjunctive forms of the verb '''wýllan''' with the infinitive of a verb. They are equivalent to the American English future (present subjunctive) or conditional (preterite subjunctive): * '''ik wýllæ fáran''' (I will go) * '''ik wóld fáran''' (I would go) ===Modal Suggestive=== The modal suggestive tenses are formed by combining the subjunctive forms of the verb '''skállan''' with the infinitive of a verb. They are equivalent to the British English future (present subjunctive) or suggestive (preterite subjunctive). * '''ik skállæ fáran''' (I shall go) * '''ik skóld fáran''' (I should/ought go) ===Modal Potential=== The modal potential tenses are formed by combining the present subjunctive forms of the verb '''máġan''' with the infinitive of a verb. They are equivalent to the English permissive or potential forms. * '''ik míġ fáran''' (I can/could/may/might go) ==Nominal Morphology== Sdannískar is a richly inflected language. Each noun inflects for one of five cases in two numbers. Nouns are divided into strong and weak classes. ===Nominative Case=== The nominative case indicates the subject of a verb. In English: * ''I'' run. * ''It'' was given. ===Accusative Case=== The accusative case in its most basic sense indicates the direct object of a verb. In English: * I gave ''it''.<br> The accusative case may also be used with a preposition of motion to indicate ''motion towards'': * I run ''to it''.<br> Finally, the accusative may also be used as the subject of an infinitive clause: * I told ''you'' to give it to her. ===Dative Case=== The dative case in its most basic sense indicates the indirect object of a verb. In English: * I gave it ''to her''.<br> The dative case may also be used with a preposition of location to indicate ''location within'': * The mouse is ''in the box''.<br> Finally, the dative case may be used to describe the agent of a passive verb. * The cake was made ''by me''. ===Genitive Case=== The genitive case in its most basic sense indicates possession or origin. In English: * It is ''mine''. * The United States ''of America'' are political divisions.<br> The genitive case may also be used with a preposition of motion to indicate ''motion from'': * I went ''away from the school''.<br> Finally, the genitive may be used to describe a divided whole (the partitive genitive): * One ''of the soldiers'' came into the room. ===Instrumental Case=== The instrumental case in its most basic sense indicates means. In English: * I sprayed the wall ''with paint''.<br> The instrumental case may also be used with a variety of prepositions to indicate accompaniment or simultaneity: * I walked ''with you''. * ''During the run'', I met her. Finally, the instrumental may be used to compare nouns or adjectives: * "I wandered lonely ''as a cloud''." ===Gender=== Nouns in Sdannískar belong to one of three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, or neuter. Most of the time, words with natural gender have the same grammatical gender (e.g. "man" is masculine), but there are exceptions. Each gender has at least two declension patterns, one or more weak and one or more strong. Nouns are classified by stem vowel (or occaisionally consonant), e.g. a-stems, i-stems, etc. ==Case Uses== Traditional grammar includes various specific definitions of cases, typically around four for each case other than the nominative. ===Accusative of Motion Towards=== With the preposition '''at''' "to, towards", the accusative takes the meaning of motion towards a place. * '''ik fáru ''to þan Kyningdóma Sdannlánder''''' (I go ''to the Kingdom of Sdannland'') ===Accusative of Time Within Which=== With adverbs of time, the accusative describes events occurring within a certain period (e.g. from 8.00 to 12.00). * '''''fram ahto to twæ-lif'' ik fǽr to þan Kyningdóma Sdannlánder''' (''from 8.00 to 12.00'' I went to the Kingdom of Sdannland) ===Accusative of Infinite Subject=== Within an infinitive clause, the accusative can act as both the subject of an infinitive verb and the direct object of a finite verb. * '''ik kwíþu ''þik'' to þan Kyningdóma Sdannlánder fáran''' (I tell ''you'' to go to the Kingdom of Sdannland) ===Accusative of Internal Object=== The internal object accusative is a redundant object of a verb (e.g. "I have a possession"). * '''ik hávu ''ǽnam gehíftano''''' (I have ''a possession'') ===Dative of Location=== With the preposition '''in''' "in", the dative takes the meaning of location in a place. * '''ik wás ''in þésma Kyningdóma Sdannlánder''''' (I was ''in the Kingdom of Sdannland'') ===Dative of Time At Which=== With adverbs of time, the dative describes events occurring at a certain point in time (e.g. at 8.00) * '''''at ahto'' ik kǿm to þan Kyningdóma Sdannlánder''' (''at eight'' I came to the Kingdom of Sdannland) ===Dative of Infinite Subject=== Within an infinitive clause, the dative can act as both the subject of an infinitive verb and the indirect object of a finite verb. * '''ik sǽge ''þe'' to þan Kyningdóma Sdannlánder fáran''' (I said ''to you'' to go to the Kingdom of Sdannland) ===Dative of Personal Agent=== The dative may be used with the preposition '''bi''' "by" to indicate the agent of a passive verb. * '''þu wást gesǽgittar ''bi me''''' (you were told ''by me'') ===Genitive of Motion From=== With the preposition '''fram''' "from", the genitive takes the meaning of motion away from a place. * '''ik fǽr ''fram þes Kyningdómer Sdannlánder''' (I went from the Kingdom of Sdannland) ===Genitive of Time From Which=== With adverbs of time, the dative ascribes a temporal beginning to certain events (e.g. since 8.00) * '''''jæ ahto'' ik hávu gefírtar fram þes Kyningdómer Sdannlánder''' (since 8.00 I have left the Kingdom of Sdannland) ===Genitive of the Divided Whole=== The genitive case may describe a larger entity to which a single thing or group of things belong. * '''þæ ''þes Sdánner'' ðat wóldun þan dón''' (those of the Sdannar that would do that) ===Genitive of Local Origin=== The genitive case may describe the origin of a person (i.e., their home city/town/village/farm/forest/etc.). * '''þæ mánnos ''Skavárner'' fírum''' (the ''Skavarnic'' men went) ===Instrumental of Means=== The instrumental may be used with the preposition '''með''' "with" to indicate instrument (tool). * '''Jónnar tǽked þen ''með bǿki''''' (John taught them ''with a book'') ===Instrumental of Manner=== The instrumental may be used with the preposition '''þur''' "through" to indicate path or way. * '''Jónnar fǽr ''þur þy Kyningdǿmi Sdannlánder''''' (John went ''through the Kingdom of Sdannland'') ===Instrumental of Accompaniment=== The instrumental may be used with the preposition '''með''' "with" to indicate presence with or (dis)agreement with. * '''þæ ne trǿstend ''með þy''''' (they do not agree ''with him'') ===Instrumental of Definition=== The instrumental case is used when describing a person's employment or place of origin. This can be used more or less interchangeably with the genitive of local origin. * '''þæ mánnos sínd ''Skavǽrni''''' (the men are ''Skavarnic'') ==Word Order== Svannískar has three word orders, depending on the type of clause. As a general note, written Sdannískar almost never has two conjugated verbs next to each other without something to separate them. ===Primary Clauses=== Primary clauses are clauses which have finite verbs, can stand on their own as sentences, and are neither imperative, suggestive, nor contrafactual. Primary clauses have a Subject-Verb-Object order: * '''ik gávu þan þe''' (I give it to you) ===Dependent Clauses=== Dependent clauses are clauses which have finite verbs but cannot stand on their own as sentences. Dependent clauses have a (Subject-)Object-Verb order: * '''ik gávu þan, ''ðat mín wás'', þe''' (I gave it, ''which was mine'', to you) ===Infinitive Clauses=== Infinitive clauses are clauses which have non-finite verbs and cannot stand on their own as sentences. Infinitive clauses have a Subject-Object-Verb order. Infinitive clauses feature the Accusative of Infinite Subject: * '''ik kwíþu ''þik'' fáran''' (I told ''you to go'') ===Imperative and Suggestive Clauses=== Imperative clauses are clauses which give (direct or indirect) commands or suggestions and may or may not include a subject. Imperative clauses have a Verb-(Subject-)Object order: * '''kwíþaþ jur me''' (speak you to me) * '''kwíþæþ jur me''' (may you speak to me) ===Contrafactual Clauses=== Contrafactual clauses are clauses which make an untrue statement and are generally unable to stand on their own as sentences. Contrafactual clauses have a Verb-Subject-(Object) order: * '''''if hávæ ik þan'', ik wóld þan þe gávan''' (''If I had it'', I would give it to you) ===Questions=== Questions in Sdannískar often reverse subject and object, like in English, making them (Object)-Verb-Subject. When a compound verb is employed, the subject divides the conjugated part of the compound from the non-conjugated. * '''Of hwísa íst þu?''' (From where are you?) * '''Hwá hávæs þu gedúntar?''' (What have done you?) ==Adjectives and Adverbs== Adjectives and adverbs have a number of rules associated with them. Adjectives and adverbs both generally precede the word they modify. ===Adjectives=== Adjectives precede the noun they modify in the vast majority of cases. They must agree with (match) the noun in case, gender, and number: * '''sa góðanu mánna'''<br> When placed between '''sa''' used as the definite article and the noun it modifies, or after a conjugated verb, an adjective declines weakly, unless it is one of the following: * A past participle * '''ǽnar''', '''ǽnu''', '''ǽnam''' * A possessive pronoun * A superlative form in '''-ístar'''<br> The following adjectives always decline weak: * Present participles * Comparative forms in '''-íron''' * Second (or third, fourth, etc.) adjectives in a noun phrase (e.g. '''góðos, gláðæ mánnos sínd hin''') * Numeric adjectives (e.g. '''twæ''', '''twor''', '''two''' "two")<br> Adjectives rarely follow the noun they modify in modern prose, though in older texts they often do. However, modern texts only place adjectives after nouns for poetic reasons. ===Adverbs=== Unlike adjectives or verbs, adverbs neither decline nor conjugate, but rather maintain a static form. There are a few rules about adjective placement: * In primary clauses, adverbs immediately precede the verb they modify. * In verb-final clauses, adverbs immediately follow the verb (or infinitive) they modify. * In verb-initial clauses, adverbs may either precede or follow the verb they modify, depending on the whim of the speaker. ==Idiomatic Verb Uses== There are a few important idiomatic verb uses to be aware of. ===Presence/Absence Verbs=== In English, these are "there is", "there were", "there had been", and so on. In Sdannískar, they have the same structure as contrafactual clauses. They use the subjunctive of '''wésan''' in the third person, followed by what there is. Presence/absence verbs never have a subject pronoun. * '''Ýst Sdánnar?''' (Is there a Sdánnar [here]?) * '''Wórun Sdánnos?''' (Were there Sdánnos [there]?) ===Verbs Without Pronouns=== In written Sdannískar, as in English or French, pronouns are required, e.g. '''''ik'' ím Sdánnar''', never '''ím Sdánnar'''. However, spoken Sdannískar, especially that of young people, very often drops first and second person pronouns altogether. * Spoken {{IPA|['im 'zdan.nar und 'θu ɔf 'xʷi.sa 'ist]}} vs. written '''ik ím Sdánnar.

The Table of Contents is automatically generated, so there's nothing we can do about with that in particular, though you can create a box to replace it; the <nowiki><tt>__NOTOC__</tt></nowiki> directive placed anywhere in a page suppresses the automatic Table of Contents, and you can make a box with whatever information or links you like in it. You can put links anywhere in a page, not just at the bottom; if you don't want to go to the trouble to build your own TOC you could use something like Wikipedia's format for subarticles: ===Adjectives=== ''Main article: [[Dal'qörian adjectives]]'' —with summary information in the top page and more detailed information in the linked subpage, or even something like: ===[[Dal'qörian adjectives|Adjectives]]=== —though this is perhaps less intuitive. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 16:01, 17 December 2006 (PST) == Images == [[Wikipedia:Help:Extended image syntax]] probably explains images better than I can (if you place the image above any headings, and use the alignment of 'right', it should go to the right of the TOC).

I've done the punctuation section on my page now and have explained the Tauro-Piscean usage of the double comma, giving Dalcurian its due credit: [[Tauro-Piscean_language]] Have you ever developed a Dalcurian dictionary? I'm quite interested in your conlang.

I like the fact that although it has recognisable influence from real languages, it has developed its own distinct feel. The decription of the rulers certainly make it plausible. My e-mail address is seancanderson@sky.com. If you're okay sending it, I'd find a dictionary interesting. My own dictionary is in the making (it may have to be delayed until summer because I'm very busy for the next few months). Also, thanks for the correction to my article. Regards, Sean. --[[User:Pisceesumsprecan|Pisceesumsprecan]] 03:32, 10 April 2008 (PDT) Talk:Oligosynthesis Project Morphology 3665 18185 2007-01-08T11:36:01Z PeteBleackley 179 ***Sandhi: a question*** It seems to me that with a restricted lexical root repertory like in this project, compactness of complex derivates may become critically important. I thought of one thing that could help with that: allowing CCV- and -VCC transformations of CVC-roots in certain types of derivates. (For me, that would make the morphology look less monotonous, too.) However, to make full use of such transformations, a set of sandhi rules seems to be necessary that would produce consonant clusters pronounceable word-initially and word-finally. (E. g. initial clusters like ''td-'' or ''gk-'' don't look quite OK, with me.) It apears that such sandhi (at least if they output only sequences of already established phonemes) would form a complex and idiosyncratic system which, as it seems, must be designed by one participant. That's why I'm asking. Too big a portion, perhaps critical for shaping the language, from just one person. Is that OK? Or might spoil the game for others? --[[User:Basilius|Basilius]] 07:14, 19 December 2006 (PST) Firstly, I think that a sandhi system could be created piecemeal by a number of collaborators. If you create a wordform that looks awkward, you could then devise a phonological rule that simplifies it. Doing it this way might in fact produce a more complex and idiosyncratic system than one devised by a single person. Secondly, remember that I've only specified phonemes so far. A given phoneme could have different phonetic realisations in different environments, which gives you more freedom when creating sandhi. --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 03:36, 8 January 2007 (PST) Sdannland 3666 17512 2006-12-20T00:36:59Z Sectori 48 The Kingdom of Sdannland (Sdannískar '''Kyningdómar Sdannlánder''') is a Germanic kingdom in what is in our world central Germany.

Named for its inventor, famed explorer and cartographer [[Heneidh Gatheïn]], it centres the map around [[Marcasia]], with [[Eresphria]] and [[Canthres]] on the northwest, [[Arophania]] in the south, and [[Istheusia]] to the east; the [[As am Iraph]] is split between the western and eastern ends of the map. The Gathenic is the most favoured cartographic arrangement, as it conveniently represents as well the anthropological divisions of [[Ilethes]]: not only the east-west division between the [[Old World (Ilethes)|Old]] and [[New World (Ilethes)|New World]]s, but also the sometimes overlapping separation of the world into [[Arithic culture|Arithic]], [[Nospheric culture|Nospheric]], [[Carabaeic culture|Carabaeic]] and [[Dethritic culture|Dethritic]] blocs of cultural influence.

Interestingly, the [[Areth]] never considered themselves the centre of the world; if anything, they considered themselves to occupy a position on the geographic periphery, albeit a privileged periphery that was the centre of civilisation. The depiction was so named by historians, and was most commonly used in the [[Ilethes in the Classical Age|classical era]], centring the map around [[Arophania]], which, along with the [[Thorfu]], was shown disproportionately larger than either [[Marcasia]] or [[Istheusia]], which were squashed in the top and right areas of the map. In early maps, neither [[Canthres]] nor [[Eresphria]] was shown, while in later productions their depiction gradually progressed from incomplete land masses trailing off the edge of the map, to full standalone continents, albeit still inaccurately drawn. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Continents of Ilethes]] Twisspraak 3673 29252 2008-02-19T11:12:54Z Melroch 31 I'm putting all pages listed on [[List of conlangs]] into so that one can generate a list of them with a DPL query for category=Conlangs.

''It ''was less noticeable than'' yesterday.'' Sentences such as: "''You are getting taller and taller. The wind is blowing stronger and stronger'' etc, (where the adjectice is compared with itself), are formed with the adverb '''brát'''-''still'' ('''brát''' is also used as the conjunction ''but'') and the comparative: * '''diö vädenária brát te’viténa'''.

If the adjective is derived from an infinitive, it must add the suffix '''ädn: {| border="1" |+ ! verb !! adjective |- | '''iquir'''-''to like'' | '''iquirädn'''-''likeable'' |- | '''döfindr'''-''to afford'' | '''döfindrädn'''-''affordable'' |} If the past participle of the verb is used as the adjective, this must lose its participle prefix '''gä'''' and again add the suffix '''ädn''': {| border="1" |+ ! past participle !! adjective |- | '''gä'amár'''-''captivated'' | '''amárädn'''-''captivated'' |- | '''gä'lilör'''-''irritated'' | '''lilörädn'''-''irritated'' |} It's very important to remember this rule with ''past participle adjectives.'' For example, if you were to translate the sentence: ''I am captivated by her looks.'' using the participle: '''Binä, máriÞ di gesibniel qve siöra, ''gä'amár''''' then this would translate back as: ''I captivated with her looks'' which of course makes no sense. You must use the adjective ending: '''Binä, máriÞ di gesibniel qve siöra, ''amárädn'''''. =='''Noun related'''== These are adjectives that have no verbal relative. These are adjectives that form thier respective nouns with the suffix '''ámn'''. These adjectives have no specific ending. Where the adjective ends in '''ä''', this is removed when adding the suffix: {| border="1" |+ ! adjective !! noun |- | '''söaviä'''-''romantic | '''söaviámn'''-''romance'' |- | '''sörelbi'''-''pleasurable'' | '''sörelbiámn'''-''pleasure'' |} =='''Non-derivative/Free standing'''== These are simply Dalcurian adjectives that have no specific ending, and no verbal or nounal relative. As above, they take no specific ending.

This is because Dalcurian has no literal equivalent of the auxiliary verbs ''was/were'' and the perfect tense ''had been''. This is formed with the prefix '''gé’''' and when used with an adjective, it renders ''was/were'' or ''had been''. Here are some examples: (Note: modifying words like '''disiri'''-''very'', '''disénig'''-''quite'' and '''veclérÞ'''-''really'', always FOLLOW the adjective in the past tense but PRECEDE it in the present and future): =='''Past tense denoting ''was/were'''''== * '''Sia gé’vélø'''. ''She was nasty''. * '''Ädiáda, danöÞ gé’strömi disénig'''. ''It was quite hot yesterday''. lit: ''Yesterday, it was hot quite''. * '''Éren, gé’lenandrädn veclérÞ'''. ''They were really helpful''. lit: ''They were helpful really''. * '''Di ødörämösel gé’vemörädn disiri'''. ''The instructions were very clear''. As you can see, ''was'' or ''were'' is denoted by a singular or a plural noun/pronoun. ---- =='''Adjective continuous past'''== Because of the Dalcurian tense system, ambiguity can arise on many occasions if it is not used correctly. Lets look at this example sentence: * ''She has been depressed for a very long time''. The past tense ''has been'' implies that she 'had' become depressed in the past and 'still is'. So the action of being depressed is 'still' on going. However, we cannot literally translate this sentence into Dalcurian because we cannot say ''has been''. A common mistake might be to put the sentence into the ''adjective past tense'': * '''Öcra tirimiÞ, sia gé’námaroqu disiri'''. ''She was very depressed for a long time''. This however, would be conveying the wrong message because ''was'' would imply that she is no longer depressed when, in fact, she is. We would only use this tense if we wanted to say: * ''She '''had been''' very depressed for a long time''. (and is no longer) So, for this kind of continuous past formation (with adjectives/adverbs only), where the ‘state’ is still on going, we use the PRESENT TENSE with the preposition '''sintra'''-''since'': * '''Sintra tirimiÞ, sia disiri námaroqu'''. lit: ''Since a long time, she is very depressed''. Translating as: ''She has been depressed for a very long time''. The first part of the sentence tells us that the action had begun in the past; the second part, being in the ''present indicative'', tells us that the action is still on going. A more expressive way would be to use the noun: * '''Sintra tirimiÞ, sia abra námaroquámn.''' ''She has had depression for a while''. '''NOTE''': When stating the ''continuous past'' regarding the ''existential'' position of people or objects, you would normally use the verb '''Þalár'''-''reside''. However, in colloquial Dalcurian, the verb can be omitted: * '''Sintra sol qömblel, éren [gä’ábraÞalár] dérÞ'''. lit: ''Since six weeks, they have resided here''. Translating as: ''They have been here for six weeks''.

However, there are many adjectives that do not have specific endings, for example, colours. The past participle of verbs can also be used as adjectives. For example, in the sentence, "He was abandoned as a child", ''abandoned'' is the past participle of the verb ''abandon'', but in the sentence, "He was an abandoned child", ''abandoned'' becomes an adjective because it describes an attribute of the noun ''child''. Dalcurian has no specific endings for adjectives except: * When the past participle of a verb is used as an adjective (looses the prefix '''gä’''' and adds the suffix '''ädn''') * When an adjective has a relative verb (formed by adding the suffix '''ädn''' to an infinitive): {| border="1" |+ ! infinitive !! past participle !! adjective |- | '''námbr'''-''to abandon'' | '''gä’námbr'''-''abandoned'' || '''námbrädn'''-''abandoned'' |- | '''qurivecsár'''-''to anger'' | '''gä’qurivecsár'''-''angered'' || '''qurivecsárädn'''-''angry'' |- | '''tsöcr'''-''to touch'' | '''gä’tsöcr'''-''touched'' || '''tsöcrädn'''-''touched'' |} example text: * '''Mæ gä’námbr di arangájel qve mæöra'''.

It's more likely that ''an enormous man'' would be refered to as ''a giant'', or ''personal opinion'' would simply be possessive as in ''my opinion'', or ''the usual custom'' may simply be ''customary''; they like to be efficient in speech. However, what you learn from this website remains standard Dalcurian; this 'non-use' of adjectives is highly colloquial, and not something that a learner should ever worry about. Dal'qörian adverbs 3679 47097 2009-07-07T12:41:12Z Rivendale 279 __TOC__ [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] Adverbs are words that describe or give extra meaning to ''verbs, adjectives, other adverbs'', or any word that 'isn’t' a noun. In English, many adverbs are formed from the adjective by adding the suffix ''ly/ily'': * happy/happily * strong/strongly * hasty/hastily * stupid/stupidly * effective/effectively However, there are many that are irregular and do not have recognizable endings such as ''now, very, quite''. Words such as ''today, tomorrow, yesterday, nowadays, sometimes'' are also known as 'adverbs of time'. In Dalcurian, regular adverbs or adverbs that have a relative adjective, are formed by adding the following suffixes to the adjective: * '''s''' to adjectives that end with a vowel * '''as''' to adjectives that end with a consonant * '''ni''' to adjectives that end with '''ø''' (some adjectives already end in '''ni'''; these take no ending) {| border="1" |+ ! Adjective !! Adjectival adverb !! |- | '''qurnöra'''-''happy'' || '''qurnöras'''-''happily'' |- | '''vélø'''-''nasty'' || '''véløni'''-''nastily'' |- | '''geræsni'''-''graceful''|| '''geræsni'''-gracefully'' |- | '''neƒracteÞ'''-''affectionate''|| '''neƒracteÞas'''-''affectionately'' |} ---- =='''Word order'''== In English, normal adverbs can either precede or follow the ''adj/verb'': * ''The child played '''happily'''''. * ''The child '''happily''' played''. In Dalcurian, ''adjectival adverbs'' always precede the word they modify: * '''Di arangáj qurnöras gä’spélögr'''. ''The child happily played.'' * '''Minäla, öcra taÞ resæÞámn, örendörädnas gä’létr érenöra vögér dörÞ'''. ''They were told to wait there specifically for that reason''. lit: ''They, for that reason, specifically told them to wait there''. * '''Di siárij sæmérädnas ømária'''. ''The sun is brightly shining.'' =='''Adverbs of time'''== ''Adverbs of time'' 'always' begin a sentence or clause 'except' when used in ''interrogative questions'' or ''comparative sentences'' where they are placed last: * '''''Vonériáda'', di parenöj qve binöra besöcéræ,, brát ''nequtöndrel'', mæ besöcérax binöra vélas'''. ''My dad is coming tomorrow but he doesn’t visit me much nowadays''. lit: '''''Tomorrow''', my father will visit, but '''nowadays''', he visits not me much.'' * '''Væl? iquirquas diö gör ''vonériáda'''''. ''Where would you like to go '''tomorrow?''''' * '''TiÞ säsa stæmériÞ strömi ''ädiáda'''''. ''It's not as hot as '''yesterday.''''' Note that, in the first example, there is also an adverb of time in the second clause: '''nequtöndrel'''-''nowadays''. When you have an adv of time in the second clause of a sentence, it immediately follows the conjunction which introduces that clause. Following is a list of very common aderbs of time: * '''ädiáda'''-''yesterday'' * '''am éagömrÞ'''-''in good time'' * '''andörest'''-''at first'' * '''aracievas'''-''lately'' * '''fröqu'''-''early'' * '''gegéna'''-''again'' * '''iádas'''-''daily'' (every day) * '''iáda'''-''today'' * '''infrequ'''-''seldom/rarely'' (not very often) * '''irønet'''-''often'' * '''mömádi'''-''at last'' * '''nequtöndrel'''-''nowadays/these days'' * '''nes'''-''then'' * '''nöra'''-''now'' * '''nösaraciev'''-''sooner or later'' * '''nösa'''-''soon'' * '''öcra nöra'''-''for a short time/for now'' * '''öcra tirimiÞ'''-''for a long time'' * '''qömblas'''-''weekly'' (every week) * '''quriandø'''-''sometimes/now and then/again'' * '''repönas'''-''recently'' * '''retöga máriÞ'''-''at the same time'' * '''sævála'''-''always/forever'' * '''sintránes'''-''since then/from that time'' * '''sintra'''-''since'' * '''solegasas'''-''immediately'' * '''täandø'''-''at times'' * '''Þömnas'''-''monthly'' (every month) * '''vonériáda'''-''tomorrow'' * '''vorbæ/vonéri'''-''beforehand'' * '''yérasas'''-''yearly'' (every year) =='''There'''== In English the adverb ''there'' can be used either as an adverb of ''position'' or ''direction'': * ''The café is over there.'' * ''We have to go through there.'' * ''Look over there!'' or as an existential adverb: * ''There is a church in the village''. * ''There was a man in the garden''. * ''There are better things in life than....'' Dalcurian has two words meaning there: '''dörÞ''' and '''danöÞ'''. The first is used to denote position or direction and is normally recognized as following the subject noun/pronoun, prepositon or modal verb: * '''Ména mösár, dörac dörÞ, gör'''. ''We have to go through there.'' * '''Di éfrácaj, rödn dörÞ, Þalár'''. ''The café is over there''. Lit: ''The café, over there, resides''. The second is used as an existential adverb: * '''DanöÞ Þalár ni qöráj am orÞ, yil?''' ''Is there a church in the village?'' Lit: ''There resides a church in the village, yes?'' * '''DanöÞ Þalár ni qöráj am orÞ'''. ''There is a church in the village''. * '''DanöÞ pasäcr épøel,, vömä vétä svägérø'''. ''There are times when life is hard.'' NOTE: As you can see from the examples, the verb '''Þalár'''-''reside'' is used to denote the position or the existence of an object. This equates the English use of ''is/was/were'' as in ''there is/was a man in the garden''. To render ''was/were'', Dalcurian would use the past tense of '''Þalár''': * '''DanöÞ ''gä’Þalár'' ni sáj am jérabödä'''. ''There was a man in the garden''. Lit: ''There resided a man in the garden''. This rule also applies to the adverb '''dérÞ'''-''here'': * '''Dörac iáda, di siaberöj qve binöra gä’Þalár dérÞ'''. ''My sister was here all day''. Lit: ''Throughout today, my sister resided here''. =='''Contractions'''== '''DanöÞ''' takes the following contractions: * '''danöqu'''-''there is nothing'' * '''danöÞöa'''-''there are some/is something'' * '''danörasáb'''-''there is a person/somebody'' =='''Colloquial usage'''== You will note from some of the above examples the use of the verbs '''pasäcr'''-''to exist'' and '''Þalár'''-''to reside''. This is standard Dalcurian. '''Þalár''' is used when a 'tangible' noun is being discussed. '''pasäcr''' is used when a non-tangible noun is used: * '''DanöÞ ''Þalár'' ni qöráj am orÞ'''. ''There is a church in the village''. * '''DanöÞ ''pasäcr'' épøel,, vömä vétä svägérø'''. ''There are times when life is hard.'' However, '''danöÞ''' already implies ''is/are'', and in colloquial Dalcurian, the verbs will often be omitted. In a 'past' sense, standard usage would simply use the simple past of the verb: * '''DanöÞ ''gä'Þalár'' ni qöráj am orÞ'''. ''There '''was''' a church in the village''. Lit: ''There resided a chuch in the village''. * '''DanöÞ ''gä'pasäcr'' épøel,, vömä vétä gé'svägérø'''. ''There '''were''' times when life was hard.'' Lit: ''There existed times when life was hard''. But in every day speech, the prefix '''gé''' will often be used with the adverb: * '''Gé'danöÞ ni qöráj am orÞ'''. ''There '''was''' a church in the village''. * '''Gé’danöÞ épøel,, vömä vétä gé'svägérø.''' ''There were times when life was hard.'' However, this is highly colloquial and somewhat ungrammatical, and not expected of a foreign learner unless one has a very good grasp of other colloquial expressions. =='''Dummy Pronoun'''== '''DanöÞ''' is also used idiomatically to replace the dummy pronoun ''it'' when ''it'' doesn't appear to refer directly to an object, eg: * '''DanöÞ morgér saméla,, taÞ tev’araciev, danpörämös näocr qamör¿''' ''It looks as if it might rain later''. lit: ''There seems as if, that later rain could come. * '''Iádas séÞa qömbla, danöÞ gä'ábradanpör.'''. ''It's rained every day this week''. lit: ''Daily this week, there has rained''. However, this leans towards correct speech. Colloquially, one might here: * '''Ela qömbla, danpörämös gä'qamör.''' ''It rained all week''. lit: ''All week, rain came''. =='''Äda'''-''ago''== '''Äda''' represents the adverb ''ago'' but can also be translated as ''previously'': * '''Äda dion yérasel, binä gä’abetár nörasägr Dal’qörian.''' ''I started learning Dalcurian 2 years ago''. * '''Mæ, tevon levárel ocasionámnel, äda gä'ansanondr binöra'''. ''He contacted me on several occasions''.

The wind is blowing stronger and stronger'' etc, (where the adjective is compared with itself), are formed with the adverb '''brát'''-''still'' and the comparative: * '''Diö vädenária brát te’viténa'''. ''You are getting taller and taller''. lit: ''You are becoming still taller''. * '''Di ateméj löbria brát te’herecöl'''. ''The wind is blowing stronger and stronger''. lit: ''The wind is blowing still stronger''. ==='''Superlative'''=== * ''I’m '''the best''' guitar player''. * ''This is '''the happiest''' I’ve seen her''. * ''We’ve been given the day off but '''best of all''', we don’t have to go back until Wednesday''. The first two examples are simply formed with the superlative construct: * '''Binä di tev’éagöra gitæjátsi'''. ''I'm the best guitar player.'' * '''SiÞ di te’qurnöra,, taÞ binä gä’ábravisör siöra'''. ''This is the happiest I've seen her.'' In the third example, the form ''adj + of all'' is formed with the adverb '''elaniÞas'''-''entirely'' and the superlative: * '''Minäla, te ména, gä’ábra-efragör di iáda,, brát ''elaniÞas tev’éagöra'', ména, lintöni Tradiáda, mösárax nöreÞár'''. ''We’ve been given the day off but '''best of all''', we don’t have to go back until Wednesday''. ('''mösárax'''-''must not'' in Dalcurian translates as ''do not have to'', see [[dal'qörian verbs|Verbs]]) ---- =='''Negation'''== Previous to the creation of this website, Dalcurian adjective negation was deemed so idiomatic that it was reformed by the Dalcurian Language Institute in 2005 under decree from the Dalcurian Government. I will create a section on the old contructs at a later date, but for now will present the reformed method. With positive sentences, negation is straight forward and comes from the expression '''stæmériÞ''' which means ''less than/not as much''. This follows '''säsa''': * '''SiÞ epnij ''säsa stæmériÞ quraläla'' ädiáda'''. ''This pie is not '''as nice as''' yesterday''. lit: ''This pie is less than nice as yesterday''. * '''Sia gä’létr eÞöa vaÞriámn,, brát sia ''säsa stæmériÞ gé’älig'' söcasendras'''. '' She told some truth but '''was not as honest as''' she could have been. Comparative sentences now see the adjective inflected with the verb suffix '''x/ax''': * '''Déno viténi,, brát mæ ''te'viténiax'' nas binöra'''. ''Dino is tall but ''not taller'' than me.'' * '''Binä ''tev'ilalägrax'' nas diöra'''. ''I'm ''not more intelligent'' than you''. However, a stylistic quirk of a Dalcurian is to avoid negating the sentence at all, and will often engineer a response so as not to do so. For example, in English one might say: * ''Your car is not faster than mine''. (Implying not faster, but perhaps equally as fast as each other) A Dalcurian would most likely re-interprit this as a positive construct: * '''Di vötöj q'diöra säsa vös q'binöra'''. ''Your car is as fast as mine''. But if you're not a Dalcurian, then this is not something to worry about! The superlative is also formed with '''x/ax''': * '''Binä di ''tev'éagörax'' gitæjátsi'''. ''I'm '''not the best''' guitar player.'' =='''Colloquial Expressions'''== Although the above section is now the standard form of adjective negation, there also exists a colloquial construct. This comes in the form of the suffix '''stæ''', which is often seen in the formation of adjectives themselves (normally equating to the English prefixes ''un'' and ''dis'': * '''vehiqualosträdn''' ''associated'' '''''stæ''vehiqualosträdn''' ''disassociated'', '''lenandrädn''' ''helpful'' '''''stæ''lenandrädn''' ''unhelpful'' In a negated positive sentence, '''stæ''' is used with '''säsa''': * '''SiÞ epnij ''stæ'säsa'' quraläla ädiáda'''. ''This pie is not as nice as yesterday''. * '''Di epnij ''stæ'säsa'' gé'quraläla ädiáda'''. ''The pie was not as nice as yesterday''. In comparatives, '''stæ''' goes before the comparative marker: * '''Sahán ni ''stæ'tev'éagöra'' evédrátsi nas Sösan'''. ''Sahán is not a better driver than Sösan.'' Here, we must reinstate '''nas'''. (If we wanted to literally translate, we could say: ''un-nicer'' or ''un-better'', although semantically they aren't quite the same). In a superlative construct, one can say: * '''Binä di ''stæ'tev'éagöra'' gitæjátsi'''. ''I'm not the best guitar player.'' * '''Binä di ''stæ'gé'tev'éagöra'' gitæjátsi'''. ''I was not the best guitar player.'' ---- [[dal'qörian comparison of adjectives|Comparison of adjectives]] [[dal'qörian adjective endings|Adjective endings]] [[dal'qörian adjective tense|Adjective tense]] [[dal'qörian Attributive and Predicative adjectives|Attributive and Predicative adjectives]] [[dal'qörian Post positive adjectives|Post positive adjectives]] [[dal'qörian Inherent and non-inherent adjectives|Inherent and non-inherent adjectives]] [[dal'qörian Nominal adjectives|Nominal adjectives]] [[dal'qörian Resultant adjectives|Resultant adjectives]] [[dal'qörian adjectives with prepositions|Adjectives with prepositions]] Dal'qörian Attributive and Predicative adjectives 3682 47203 2009-07-11T18:29:44Z Rivendale 279 [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] [[dal'qörian adjectives|back to Dalcurian adjectives]] ''Attributive'' adjectives precede the noun they describe: * '''EÞöa ''sangtörädn'' esteplédrämösel'''.

''Predicative'' adjectives occur 'after' the noun but not immediately; they follow a verb, (normally a form of the verb to ''be''). Again, this the same in Dalcurian: * '''Di arangáj ''tirigör qurnöra''.''' ''The child '''seems happy''''' * '''Di iádel ''vädenária te’vélø''.''' ''The days '''are getting colder'''''. However, the adjective must still follow the verb when in conjunction with prepositional word order: * '''Di iádel, dörac Vinti, ''vädenária te’vélø''.'''

''The Princess Royal'' * '''Di Vitihæarátsi’Algemérädn.''' ''The Governor General'' but: * '''SáÞ épø, taÞ gä’ábragör'''. ''Times past.'' (lit: ''Those times, that have gone.'') * '''EÞöa, taÞ vosérädn.''' ''Something useful.'' (lit: ''Something, that is useful.'') * '''Yetrasáb, taÞ qedérÞ.''' ''Everyone present.'' (lit: ''Everyone, that is present''. Colloquailly, you can use '''eladiö-''you all''). * '''SáÞ, taÞ gé’Þerapönas.''' ''Those (who were) responsible'' (Note here that the Dalcurian example is in the past tense, however the English translation can still be ''those responsible''; tense becoming clear from conext). * '''Di te’tiriø vécan, taÞ söcasendras.''' ''The shortest route possible''. (lit: ''The shortest route, that is possible''). * '''Di tev’éagöra gasániabödä, taÞ aviablos.''' ''The best hotel available''. (lit: ''The best hotel, that is available''). * '''SéÞa di te’darø qurnisæ, taÞ minä näocr æmöaÞr.''' ''These are the worst conditions imagineable''. (lit: ''These are the worst conditions that I could imagine''). ONE TO WATCH: Lets take a look at this last example. There are some adjectives which do not exist in Dalcurian, that are quite common in English. This is because Dalcurian only allows for 'one' adjective to be formed from a verb, thus taking the adjective ending '''ädn'''. However, in English, more than one adjective may be derived from a verb taking either ''able'' or ''ive'' as an ending: {| border="1" |+ ! verb !! adjective 1 !! adjective 2 |- ! to imagine | imaginative || imaginable |- ! to predict | predictive || predictable |- ! to describe | descriptive || describable |} Where there are two such adjectives in English, only one of these exists in Dalcurian; that being the ''ave/ive'' equivalent (although there are many verbs in English that only form one or the other eg: to ''seduce'' only forms ''seductive'' as an adjective, and to ''deploy'' only forms ''deployable'', both being rendered in Dalcurian with the ending ''ädn''). So, in order to equate the ''able/ible'' form, one can ‘verbalize’ the sentence, as in the example. Stylistically, and Dalcurians often employ this method for emphasis, one can use a noun: * '''Am di æmöaÞrämös qve binöra, séÞa di te’darø qurnisæ.''' ''These are the worst conditions imagineable''. (lit: ''In my imagination, these are the worst conditions'').

For instance, the phrase ''a red car'' may be said to denote a car which is ''red''. In fact most adjective-noun sequences such as this can be loosely reformulated in a similar way:<br/><br/>* an old man-''a man who is old''<br/>* difficult questions-''questions which are difficult''<br/>* round glasses-''glasses that are round'' This applies equally to postpositive adjectives:<br/><br/>* something understood-''something which is understood''<br/>* those responsible-''those who are/were responsible'' In each case the adjective denotes an attribute or quality of the noun, as the reformulations show. Adjectives of this type are known as INHERENT adjectives. The attribute they denote is, as it were, inherent in the noun which they modify. However, not all adjectives are related to the noun in the same way. For example, the adjective ''small'' in ''a small businessman'' does not describe an attribute of the ''businessman''. It cannot be reformulated as ''a businessman who is small''. Instead, it refers to a businessman whose ''business'' is small. We refer to adjectives of this type as NON-INHERENT adjectives. They refer less directly to an attribute of the noun than inherent adjectives do. Here are some more examples, showing the contrast between inherent and non-inherent:   '''Inherent'''<br/><br/>* ''distant hills''<br/>* ''a complete chapter''<br/>* ''a heavy burden''<br/>* ''an old man'' '''Non-inherent'''<br/><br/>* ''distant relatives''<br/>* ''a complete idiot''<br/>* ''a heavy smoker''<br/>* ''an old friend'' One can clearly see the difference in meaning between an inherent and a non-inherent adjective. For example, ''an old man'' is a man who is ''old'', whereas ''an old friend'' is not a friend who is ''old'', but a friend who you have known for some time. In Dalcurian, attributive adjectives are never used in a non-inherent style. This is because almost all Dalcurian attributive adjectives carry only an attributive meaning. For example, to say literally '''ni vätös zécösatrátsi'''-''a heavy smoker'', would imply that the ‘smoker’ was of a ‘heavy stature’ (this is most likely why Dalcurians are termed 'Literal Thinkers). Again, the adjectives must be avoided but there are a number of ways in which non-inherent formations can be rendered. One way is to verbalize the sentence and modify it with an adverb that relates to the adjective: * '''Mæ vätösas zécösatr'''. ''He smokes heavily''. (see '''[[dal'qörian adverbs|Adverbs]]''' for word order) Although this does not directly describe an attribute of ‘the smoker’ himself, it still describes an attribute of his smoking which, in turn, tells us more about ‘him’. * '''Ni qömpal qvéamø di äda-épø'''. ''An old friend''. (lit: ''A friend out of the past''). * '''Tev’araciev, binä, máriÞ ni qömpal qvéamø äda-épø, tirigöria'''. ''I’m meeting with an old friend later''. (lit: ''Later, I am meeting with a friend out of the past''). * '''GeræÞ tamlájel'''. ''Distant relatives''. In Dalcurian, these are known as ''slight relations''. This is an area of Dalcurian grammar which I would describe as being a little difficult. Unfortunately, there is no ’list’ that depicts each and every equivalent of an English non-inherent phrase. Through your learning of Dalcurian, it will become apparent as to which words can be replaced or used, and how sentences can simply be re-formed. Just remember, not everything from one's own language can be directly translated into a foreign one; this is one of those areas!

For example, ''the poor'' denotes a class of people who share a similar financial status. Other nominal adjectives are:   * the old   * the sick   * the wealthy * the blind   * the innocent  A major subclass of nominal adjectives refers to nationalities:   * the French * the British * the Japanese However, not all nationalities have corresponding nominal adjectives. Many of them are denoted by plural, proper nouns:    * the Germans   * the Russians   * the Americans   * the Poles    Nominal adjectives do not refer exclusively to classes of people. Indeed some of them do not denote classes at all:    * the opposite   * the contrary   * the good  Comparative and superlative forms can also be nominal adjectives:  * the best is yet to come   * the elder of the two   * the greatest of these   * the most important among them  We refer to all of these types as nominal adjectives because they share some of the characteristics of nouns (hence nominal) and some of the characteristics of adjectives. They have the following nominal characteristics:  ː They are preceded by a determiner (usually the definite article ''the'')  ː They can be modified by adjectives (the ''gallant'' French, the ''unfortunate'' poor)  ː They are gradable (the ''very'' old, the ''extremely'' wealthy)  ː Many can take comparative and superlative forms (the poorer, the poorest)   In Dalcurian, when an adjective is used in a nominal sense, it takes the noun ending '''ämös'''. This adds to those which already end in '''ädn''' and, where a non-inflected adjective ends in a vowel, the vowel is dropped. Exceptions are those which depict nationality, and comparative and superlative forms: * di EƒrancaniÞ-the French * di BretæniÞ-the British * di GemæniÞ-the Germans {| border="1" |+ ! adjective !! noun-adjective |- | '''stæni'''-''opposite'' | '''stænämös'''-''the opposite'' |- | '''éagöra'''-''good'' | '''éagörämös'''-''the good'' |- | '''talgresta'''-''guilty'' | '''talgrestämös'''-''the guilty'' |- | '''ädøni'''-''old'' | '''ädønämös'''-''the old'' |- | '''täcélosträdn'''-''injured'' | '''täcélosträdnämös'''-''the injured'' |- | '''neÞörädn'''-''brave'' | '''neÞörädnämös'''-''the brave'' |- | '''stælilangörädn'''-''bald'' | '''stælilangörädnämös'''-''the bald'' |} There is a major exception to this rule: adjectives that form their nouns with the ending '''ámn'''. These are adjectives that are 'not' derived from verbs. '''ámn''' is removed altogether and replaced with '''ämös'''. For example: * '''talgresta'''-''guilty''<br/>'''talgrestámn'''-''guilt'' BUT * '''di talgrestämös'''-''the guilty'' Leaving '''ámn''' in the word as in '''talgrestámnämös''' is a major spelling mistake! '''Note 1:''' You must also try to avoid the mistake of removing '''ädn''' from verb related adjectives when using them in a nominal position. For example, '''di täcélosträdnämös''' means ''the injured'', but if '''ädn''' was omitted, '''di täcélosträmös''' translates as ''the injury''. Your knowledge of verb related and non-verb related adjectives will be of great importance in understanding this part of Dalcurian grammar. '''Note 2:''' Definate/indefinate articles are not required with noun-adjectives, only in formal texts.

(The glass is already clean as she wipes it) * ''He painted the white fence''. (The fence is already white before he paints it) In Dalcurian, a resultant adjective immediately 'follows' the verb, and where a pronoun is used, it 'precedes' the pronoun (unlike in English): * '''Sia gä’ipr nørädn di gläj'''.

The prepositions used in English can also be different. '''Dynamic adjectives''' Dynamic adjectives denote attributes which are, to some extent at least, under the control of the one who possesses them. Unlike stative adjectives, such as red/big/small for example, which are generally considered to be permanent, dynamic attributes are not always evident, but can be called upon at any time. However, some are more commonly used with prepositions than others, especially those which denote an emotion of some sort. The following are very common: * '''dasqurinä'''-''emotional'' * '''qurivecsárädn'''-''angry'' * '''quranöra'''-''happy'' * '''dasquiriø'''-''sad'' * '''sæaÞögestra'''-''enthusiastic'' * '''säquraséträdn'''-''excited'' * '''angræÞ'''-''anxious'' * '''janöÞrädn'''-''worried'' * '''oncöbras'''-''grateful'' * '''sæadörädn'''-''surprised'' This part of Dalcurian grammar could be considered to be a little difficult. The main points to understand are outlined: * The adjective is rarely used with a following preposition; the noun form should be used in normal speech. (See '''Exceptions''' below). * When, in English, we say something ‘makes’ us feel something, in Dalcurian, the noun form is used and it is ‘given’ to us. Look at the following using '''dasqurinä'''-''emotional'' as an example. '''with preposition''' * '''Binä, tevehicamä séÞa qepétna qve di mosödrämös, sævála ábra dasqurinámn'''. ''I always get '''emotional at''' this part of the film.'' lit: ''I, towards this part of the film, always have emotion''. '''without preposition''' * '''SéÞa sævála ni dasqurinä qepétna qve di mosödrämös'''. ''This is always an emotional part of the film''. '''makes you/makes you feel''' * '''SéÞa mösödrämös, te binä, sævála andöcr dasqurinámn'''. ''This film always makes me emotional.'' lit: ''This film, to me, always gives emotion''. * '''DanöÞ, te binä, andöcr qurivecsárämös,, vömä diö ságr sacéa sä taÞ'''. ''It makes me angry when you say things like that''. lit: ''It, to me, gives anger, when you say things as that''. And again withoput preposition: * '''Binä qurinistr disiri dasqurinä'''. ''I feel very emotional''. * '''Éren säquraséträdn,, qösra di talehaserämösel ritövag'''. ''They’re excited because the holidays aren’t far off now''. ---- Here are more examples highlighting the use of dynamic adjectives with and without prepositions. The general rule is that, if the statement is in a negative sense, use '''stæcamä'''-''against'', as the noun link, and either '''tevehicamä'''-''towards'' or '''öcra'''-''for'' if it's in a positive sense. Literal translations are given: * '''Di nörasátsi ádra, stæcamä ela, qurivecsárädn,, qöri éren ábæabödriax'''. ''The teacher was '''angry with''' everyone for not doing their homework''. * '''Binä qurivecsárädn,, qösra diö, te binä, gä’peclér'''.

''My dog is '''frightened of''' fireworks''. lit: ''My dog has, against fireworks, fright''. '''Adjectives linked with ''to'''''. Adjectives linked by ''to'' are also rendered in this way, using '''stæcamä'''-''against'', or '''tevehicamä'''-''towards'' and '''öcra'''-''for'': * '''SéÞa ábra, tevehicamä sáÞ taÞ ména ädiáda ádra, ni änligámn'''. ''These are similar to the ones we had yesterday.'' lit: ''These have, towards those which we yesterday had, a similarity,'' * '''Qena'diö,, séÞa quáloträmös ábrax, öcra binöra, rembanámn,, nø binä ädavonas gä’ábraÞalár dérÞ'''.

''You should be grateful to me that I didn’t call the police.'' * '''DanöÞ ábra, öcra binöra, tagélidámn,, taÞ ädaninÞi, sia gä’qamörax abödä'''. ''It seems strange to me that she didn’t come home last night''. lit: ''It has, for me, strangeness, that, last night, she came not home.'' ---- '''Exceptions''' Adjectives that are used in English with ''of'' are formed the same in Dalcurian, but the noun form may still be used with adjectives of ''emotion/feeling'': * '''picalosni qve'''-''typical of'' * '''lasalquarädn qve'''-''characteristic of'' * '''viténæÞ qve'''-''proud of'' (noun form: pride is the ‘feeling’) * '''stæjecinträdn qve'''-''independent of'' * '''vincörädn qve'''-''convinced of'' However, if the following noun is a compound noun formed with '''qve''', or a possessive noun phrase, then the genitive case must be used. Look at these examples: * '''DanöÞ ''picalosni qve'' Däl ságr taÞ'''. ''It's '''typical of''' Dale to say that'' * '''Binä disiri ''viténæÞ qve'' ela taÞ gä’ræÞatør'''. ''I'm very '''proud of''' everyone that took part.'' * '''Éren pecléria,, ön binä disénig ''vincörädn qve'' taÞ'''. ''They are lying and I’m quite '''convinced of''' that.'' In the above examples, the preposition is followed either by a noun or pronoun in a non-genitive sense. Now look at the same examples with possessive noun phrases: * '''DanöÞ picalosni dis parenöj Däla ságr taÞ'''. ''It's typical of Dale's dad to say that.'' * '''Binä ábra, öcra dis probendasámn ela, vélas viténæÞámn'''. ''I’m very proud of everyone’s effort.'' * '''Éren pecléria,, ön binä disénig vincörädn dis beÞörämös érenöra'''. ''They are lying and I’m quite convinced of their deceipt''. In the first example, ''Dales dad'' would normally be written as '''di parenöj qve Däl'''-''the dad of Dale'', but because it follows '''qve''', the genitive must be used as '''qve''' is never written twice in the same phrase or clause, neither is it preceeded nor followed by '''di'''. In the second example, ''everyone’s effort'' would normally be written as '''di probendasámn qve ela'''-''the effort of everyone'' (or ''all'' in this case; '''ela''' can be used to describe a group of people), again, the genitive is used because it follows '''qve'''. In the third example, ''their deceit'' would normally be written as '''di beÞörämös qve érenöra'''-''the deceipt of them''. ''Typical for'' is also rendered in some cases by ''of'' in Dalcurian: * '''DanöÞ, stæcamä di estingörämös qve ni arangáj, disénig picalosni qve minä,, becöadr dasquiriøámn'''. ''It’s quite typical for people to be saddened over the death of a child''. lit: ''It, against the death of a child, is quite typical of a person to receive sadness''. Most other adjectives that are linked by ''for'' are the same in Dalcurian, however, with ''feelings'' and ''emotions'', nouns are still prefered and normal word order applies: * '''Nöra, mæ, öcra di ofnendrämös qve mæöra, fätig'''. ''He is ready for his operation now.'' * '''Ména ádra, öcra eladiöra, vélas quranörámn,, vömä eladiöra gä’vér taÞ nömæäj'''. ''We were really happy for you when you won all that money''. lit: ''We had, for you, much happiness when you won that money.'' * '''Binä, öcra taÞ véca binä gä’visör von, gé’stæ’fäticrädn'''. ''I wasn’t prepared for what I saw next.'' * '''Ména ábra, öcra di lenandrämös, disänø oncöbrasámn,, taÞ aracievas, éren, te ménöra gä’ábra-andöcr'''. ''We are extremely grateful for the help they’ve given us lately''. lit: ''We have, for the help which lately, they, to us, have given , extreme gratitude''. Note: If in doubt as to how to form a sentence without the preposition, the simply use it. But remember to follow appropriate word order. Dal'qörian verbs 3689 47349 2009-07-18T08:19:20Z Rivendale 279 /* The present progressive */ __TOC__ [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] Almost all Dalcurian verbs are regular in inflection. The position of the verb is much the same as in English, in that it normally follows the subject, except when the word order of a prepositioned phrase takes preference. Dalcurian verbs are ''non finite''; they do not show agreement. This is denoted from the noun or pronoun that precedes it. ---- =='''Conjugations'''== Following is a quick glance at the various conjugations of the Dalcurian verb, using '''gör'''-''to'' go as an example. The first person singular pronoun '''I''' will act as the subject since there is no verb agreement: {| border="1" |+ |- | I go | '''binä gör''' |- | I am going | '''binä göria''' |- | I went | '''binä gä'gör''' |- | I have gone | '''binä gä'ábragör''' |- | I had gone | '''binä gä'ádragör''' |- | I will go | '''binä göræ''' |- | I will have gone | '''binä gä'ábragöræ''' |- | I would go | '''binä görquas''' |- | I would have gone | '''binä gä'ábragörquas''' |} Tenses that do not exist in Dalcurian are: ''will be going, would be going, was/were going, have/had been going'' and the ''passive tense''. The negative form adds '''x''' to the end of the inflection (see '''Negatives''') ---- =='''The Infinitive'''== This is the form that ends in '''r'''. Whether or not this equates as a ''to'' infinitive depends on context. If the infinitive follows the modals: ''want'' and ''like'', then ''to'' is implied by default: * '''Mæ voltir ''gör.''''' ''He wants '''to go'''''. * '''Ména iqur ''talehasr'''''. ''We like '''to go on holiday'''''. * '''Mæ Þöldr ''gör'''''. ''He should '''go'''''. * '''Binä gä'létr mæöra ''görax'''''. ''I told him '''not to go'''''. There are no ''split infinitives'' in Dalcurian: ''to slowly walk, to boldy go'', adverbials always precede verbs. The preposition '''te''' is only used with infinitives to translate a ''gerund'', see [[dal'qörian nouns|Nouns]]. =='''Participle formation'''== The Dalcurian ''present participle'' (the English ''ing'' form) adds '''ia''' to the infinitive and always implies ''am/are'' and ''is'' with the verb: * '''gör'''-''go'' '''göria'''-''am/are/is going'' * '''quascr'''-''ask'' '''quascria'''-''am/are/is asking'' The ''past participle'' is formed with the prefix '''gä’''' to the infinitive. * '''ságr'''-''say'' '''gä’ságr'''-''said'' * '''örendör'''-''specify'' '''gä’örendör'''-''specified'' The ''present perfect'' and ''past perfect'' tense are formed by infixing '''ábra'''-''have'' and '''ádra'''-''had'' between the prefix and the infinitive: (in Dalcurian, the ''present perfect participle'' is called a ''perfect participle'') * '''gä’ábragör'''-''have gone'' '''gä’ádragör'''-''had gone'' * '''gä’ábraquascr'''-''have asked'' '''gä’ádraquascr'''-''had asked'' ---- =='''Tense'''== ==='''The present tense'''=== The present tense indicates something which is happening now. It includes habitual actions and statements of fact. Either the progressive tense or the infinitive is used: * ''' Di prodnæj täöcria!''' ''The building is collapsing!''. * '''Sia, am Efranca, habitr.''' ''She lives in France''. * '''Dionadas, binä besöcér di beröj qve binöra'''. ''I visit my brother every Tuesday''. ---- ===='''The present progressive'''==== This is the ''ing'' form of the verb used with a present tense form of the verb ''to be''. It can have several functions in English: '''A''' to describe an action that is going on at this moment: * ''He's driving too fast''! * ''I'm asking you a question.'' * ''John is congratulating Paul.'' * ''I'm meeting my boyfriend tonight''. In Dalcurian, an '''ia''' inflection denotes this tense. It should be noted that the Dalcurian present progresseive is only used for actions that are happening now, or in terms of the future, will happen on the same day (a minor exception is the use of the progressive in some comparative sentences; see '''Comparative sentences''' in the [[dal'qörian adjectives|'''Adjectives''']] section): * '''Mæ evédria den vös!''' ''He is driving too fast!'' * '''Binä, andri diöra, quascria ni qualtédrämös!''' ''I am asking you a question!'' * '''Jöna grætölária Palö.''' ''John is congratulating Paul.'' * '''IádaninÞi, binä, máriÞ di qömerinöj qve binöra, tirigöria.''' ''I'm meeting my boyfriend tonight'' '''B''' to describe an action that is going on during this period of time or a trend: * ''Are you still working for the same company?'' * ''More and more people are becoming vegetarian.'' In Dalcurian, an adverb plus the infinitive will normally be used: * '''Diö, máriÞ di méÞril sä ädavon, brát ábæÞr, yil?''' ''Are you still working for the same company?'' Lit: You, with the company as previous, still work? * '''Frætörädnas, danöÞ brát mériÞ nörasáb,, taÞ vädenár stæmöjátsi.''' ''There are more and more people becoming vegetarian.'' Lit: Continuously, there are still more people who become vegetarian. '''C''' to describe an action in the future that has already been planned or prepared: * ''We’re going on holiday next week.'' * ''Are they visiting you next winter?'' Here, the future tense must be used (see '''Future''' below) '''D''' to describe a temporary event or situation: * ''He usually plays the drums, but he's playing guitar at present.'' As with the examples in '''B''', an adverb and an infinitive equate this: * '''Picalosni, mæ spélögr di derömj,, brát qedérÞas, mæ spélögr gæatéj.''' ''He usually plays the drums, but he's playing guitar at present.'' '''E''' with ''always, forever, constantly'', to describe and emphasize a continuing series of repeated action: * ''Stacey and Brian are always arguing!'' * ''You're forever complaining about your mother-in-law!'' And again, as with '''B''' and '''D''': * '''Stäsé ön Brián sævála vecsár!''' ''Stacey and Brian are always arguing!'' Lit: Stacey and Brian always argue! * '''Diö sævála qonvenistr di siaparenöj-vála qve diöra.''' ''You're always/forever complaining about your mother-in-law.'' ---- ===='''The present perfect tense'''==== In English, the present perfect is formed with the auxiliaries ''have/has'' and the past participle. Its use in Dalcurian is much the same and is used for: * Verbs of state that begin in the past and lead up to and include the present. (usually with for or since) *To express habitual or continuous action. *Events occurring at an un-defined or unspecified time in the past, with ever, never, already, yet or before: * '''Rödn vélas yérasel, mæ gä’ábrahabitr dérÞ.''' ''He has lived here for many years.'' * '''Rödn 20 yérasel, ména, andri séÞa nörasabödä, gä’ábra-acäödr.''' ''We have taught at this school for 20 years.'' * '''Sintra binä gä’descöbr,, taÞ di abödä perösendos,, binä gä’ábraqömárax!''' ''I haven’t slept since I found out the house is haunted!'' * '''Dörac di vétä qve mæöra, mæ gä’ábragliár visániöestáj.''' ''He has worn glasses all his life''. ('glasses' is singular in Dalcurian and can mean 'a pair of glasses') * '''Dörac iáda, binä gä’ábra ni ecör'penjämös.''' ''I have had a headache all day.'' When used with ''never, already, yet, before'' and ''just'', then stylistically, these normally go before the past participle (as most adverbs precede the verb in any state). Rendering the form ''ever before'', use the expression'''esti vonéri''', as this can show a degree of suprise or distain depending on context: * '''Nabödn, te binä, gä’ábraságr taÞ vonéri esti !''' ''Nobody has ever said that to me before!'' * '''Döqu sä séÞa, te ména, gä’ábradafödr esti!''' ''Nothing like this has ever happened to us!'' * '''Éren gä’ábravisör esti néavára ni plampäj.''' ''What, they've never seen a hippo?.'' * '''Sia aléaræÞ gä’ábrastæabetár di ábæabödäj qve siöra, yil?''' ''Has she finished her homework already?'' * '''Binä nø gä’ábrabesöcérax di 'Tate Gallery'.''' ''I haven’t visited the Tate Gallery yet.'' * '''Sonaros diöra! Binä gä’ábralétr esti aléaræÞ tredimä!''' ''Hurry up! Ive told you three times already!'' NOTE: If the action has just taken place, one can insert '''jenö'''-''just'' immediatly after '''ábra''': * '''Binä, te mæ, gä’ábrajenöqonvetár.''' ''I have just spoken to him.'' '''Have/has been''' The form ''have/has been'' is rendered in one of three ways. When referring to places such as ''countries, cities, friends houses'' etc, in the sense of 'having been/never been', the verb '''besöcér'''-''visit'' is used: * '''Binä néavára gä’ábrabesöcér Japéna.''' ''I have never been to Japan.'' Again, '''esti''' can be used to add force to the statement: * '''Binä esti néavára gä’ábrabesöcér Japéna!''' ''Look, I have NEVER been to Japan!'' * '''Mæ néavára gä’ábrabesöcér di abödä qve binöra.''' ''He has never been to my house.'' When talking about ''performances, concerts, shows'' or anything connected with performing arts, the verb '''vehigeladr'''-''to attend'' is preferred: * '''Di beröj qve binöra gä’ábravehigeladr ni peferödn.''' ''My brother has been to a concert''. * '''Iáda voninÞi, ména, andri animatáj, gä’ébrvehigeladr.''' ''We’ve been to the cinema tonight''. When ''have/has been'' refers to 'location' (in an existential sense with ''since/for'') or the 'state' of someone/something, and the action is still on going, then the statement remains in the present indicative or present progressive with the preposition '''sintra'''-''since'': * '''Sintra hec qömblasel, ména dérÞ'''. ''We have been here for six weeks'' (and still are.) . * '''DanöÞ morgér,, taÞ, sintra etirimiÞ, ména talehasria, néfaracte?''' ''It seems like we’ve been on holiday for a while, doesn’t it''? (lit: ''It seems that, since a long time, we are holidaying, doesn’t it?'') * '''Sintra ni Þömn äda, danöÞ ni veclérÞ darø lemasträmös, öcra di öløsimáj, qamöria.''' ''There has been a really bad smell coming from the cellar for over a month''. (lit: ''Since a month ago, there is a really bad smell, from the cellar, coming''). To ask about the whereabouts of someone, or to answer in the affirmative, the verb '''Þalár'''-''to reside'' is standard: * '''Dorac iáda, væl? gä’ábraÞalár diö.''' ''Where have you been all day?'' (lit: ''All day, where have resided you?'') * '''Binä, andri léjänabödä, gä’ábraÞalár.''' ''I have been at the hospital''. (lit: ''I, at the hospital, have resided.'') ---- ===='''The present perfect continuous'''==== In English, there are basically two uses for the present perfect continuous tense. (There is usually a connection with the ''present'' or ''now''): '''A'''. An action that has just stopped or recently stopped: * ''I'm tired (now) because I've been running''. * ''Why is the grass wet? (now) Has it been raining''? * ''She has been out running along the canal.'' * ''You don't understand (now) because you haven't been listening''. '''B'''. An action continuing up to now and still ongoing (usually used with ''for'' or ''since''): * ''I have been reading for 2 hours''. * ''We've been studying since 9 o'clock''. * ''We have been waiting over an hour for a bus!'' The examples in '''A''' are rendered using the Dalcurian ''simple past'' with, for the most part, the adverb '''jenö'''-''just'' which infixes: * '''Binä tädø,, qösra binä gä'jenövaÞr'''. Lit: ''I'm tired, because I just ran.'' * '''Várö? di rasenj nahasrädn. DanöÞ gä'jenödanpör, yil?.''' Lit: ''Why is the grass wet? It just rained, yes?.'' * '''Sia, enga di geböædénij, gä’jenövaÞr.''' ''She, alongside the canal, just ran.'' The examples in '''B''' would normally be in the present tense: * '''Sintra 2 stöndæel äda, binä quádria.''' ''I have been reading for 2 hours''. (and still am)Lit: ''Since 2 hours ago, I am reading.'' * '''Sintra 9, ména stödæéria.''' ''We've been studying since 9 o'clock'' (and still are)Lit: ''Since 9, we are studying.'' * '''Sintra on stöndæ äda, ména, öcra ni sabaj, vögéria!''' ''We have been waiting over an hour for a bus!'' (and still waiting) Lit: ''Since an hour ago, we are, for a bus, waiting!'' However, if the event has finished, then the verb clause goes into the present perfect tense, again with or without'''jenö''': * '''Sintra 2 stöndæel äda, binä gä'ábrajenöquádr.''' ''I have been reading for 2 hours''. (but have just finished) Lit: '' Since 2 hours ago, I have just read.'' (but I've just finished) * '''Sintra 9, ména gä'ábrajenöstödæér.''' ''We have been studying since 9 o'clock.'' (but have finished) Lit: ''Since 9pm we have just studied''. (but we've just stopped) * '''Sintra on stöndæ äda, ména, öcra séÞa sabaj, gä'ábravögér!''' Lit: ''Since an hour ago, we, for this bus, have waited.'' (the bus has just arrived or no longer waiting) ---- ==='''The Past Tense'''=== There are 2 forms of the past tense in Dalcurian: ''simple past, and perfect'' or ''pluperfect past''. ===='''Simple past'''==== The Dalcurian simple past is formed with the prefix '''gä’''' and the infinitive: * '''gör'''-''go'' '''gä’gör'''-''went'' * '''andöcr'''-''give'' '''gä’andöcr'''-''gave'' * '''pilför'''-''steal'' '''gä’pilför'''-''stole'' * '''Ädiáda, mæ, te binä, gä’andöcr ni gistäj'''. ''He gave me a present yesterday''. * '''Sia gä’voltir quascr mæöra eÞöa'''. ''She wanted to ask him something''. * '''Sia, te sia, gä’Þonábr disiri tagéÞrädnas'''. ''She gestured very seductively to her.'' ---- ===='''Perfect/Pluperfect Past'''==== This tense states an action that began in the past and ended before another began (usually followed by ''before'' or ''when''). The auxilliary '''ádra''' infixes: * '''jedár'''-''adjust'' '''gä’ádrajedár'''-''had adjusted'' * '''täsplétr'''-''burst'' '''gä’ádratäsplétr'''-''had burst'' * '''Binä, lintöni di danpörämös gä'stæabetár, gä’mösár vögér,, vonéri binä näocr gadörajvalcr'''. ''I had to wait for the rain to stop before I could walk the dog''. * '''Mæ gä’ádrajenögörør,, vömä diö gä’téádr'''. ''He had just gone out when you rang.'' Notice how, in English, the auxiliary and main verb can separate; this can’t happen in Dalcurian. ---- ===='''The Continuous Past'''==== Again, in English, this tense has multiple uses: * To describe the background in a story written in the past tense:<br/> * ''The sun '''was shining''' and the birds '''were singing''' as the elephant came out of the jungle''. * To describe an unfinished action that was interrupted by another event (usually followed by when or until):<br/> * ''I '''was having''' a great dream when/until the dog barked''. * To describe an action that happened over a period of time:<br/> * ''They '''were climbing''' for twenty seven days before they reached the summit''. * With 'wonder', to make a very polite request:<br/> * ''I '''was wondering''' if you could baby-sit for me tonight?'' * To express a change of mind:<br/> * ''I '''was going''' to spend the day at the beach but I decided to go on an excursion instead''. With the exception of the last 2 examples above, Dalcurian uses its simple past to render this tense. If the action was unfinished or interrupted, the subordinate clause is introduced by '''lintöni'''-''until'': * '''Di Siárij gä’ømár,, ön di vögäl gä’löigár,, sä di majentáj, gä’ömøqamör di jonglæ'''. ''The sun was shining and the birds were singing as the elephant came out of the jungle''. Lit: ''The sun '''shone''' and the birds '''sang''' as the elephant came out of the jungle''. * '''Binä gä’æanémr éagöra,, lintöni di gadöraj gä’vafr'''. ''I was having a great dream when/until the dog barked''. Lit: ''I '''dreamed''' well until the dog barked''. * '''Rödn senal’dionta iádel, éren gä’qlimbér,, lintöni éren gä’öraqur di viténiÞ'''. ''They were climbing for twenty seven days before they reached the summit''. Lit: ''For 27 days, they '''climbed''' until they reached the summit''. To express a change of mind or plan/intention, the verb '''septér'''-''intend'' is used in the simple past: * '''Dörac di áda, binä, andri öbri, gä’septér neparépør,, brát binä, máriÞ ni töribesöcérämös, gä’edécödr tisdæd gör .''' ''I was going to spend the day at the beach but I decided to go on an excursion instead''. Lit: ''Throughout the day, I, at the beach, intended to spend time but I, with an excursion, decided to instead go ''. * '''Ména, am Strománi, gä’septér vehær,, brát, ména gä'mösár, lintöni Tødröna, lobéstr'''. ''We were planning on a summer wedding but we’ve had to put it off until October now''. Lit: ''We, in the summer, intended to marry but we had to, until October, postpone''. With 'wonder', a special verb is used. The verb is formed with the appropriate reflexive personal pronoun attached to the end of the word '''qualtéa'''. (This is quite an idiomatic word; '''qualtéa''' roughly translates as ''a thought'' or ''goal'' that may be difficult to reach): * '''Qualtéabinöria,, méla diöra, te binä, neldrquas di vötöj qve diöra¿''' ''I was wondering if you would lend me your car?'' lit: ''I am wondering if you, to me, would lend your car?'' * '''Qualtéaménöria,, öbæ tev’araciev, diö iquirquas, máriÞ ménöra, amøcamör¿''' ''We were wondering whether you'd like to come out with us later?'' lit: ''We were wondering whether later, you would like, with us, to come out?'' ---- ==='''The Future Tense'''=== The Dalcurian future tense is simply formed with the suffix '''æ'''. In English, the future tense can be formed by using the present tense or by using the auxiliary verbs ''will/shall'' (''shall'' is used more to denote an intention or order): * ''We are going out tonight''. * ''We shall go out tonight''. * ''I will be a good father!'' * ''I’m going to/will be twenty one soon''. * ''Thou shall not kill!'' Dalcurian can also use the present progressive tense to describe the future: * '''Tev’araciev iáda, binä görøria'''. ''I am going out later today''. However, as stated earlier, this tense is only used if the event in question will happen 'on the same day'. For example, one wouldn't typically say: * '''Vonériáda, ména görøria'''. ''We are going out tomorrow''. But rather: * '''Vonériáda, ména görøræ'''. ''We will go out tomorrow''. NOTE: Although this is standard Dalcurian grammar, learners will certainly not come under scrutiny for using the progressive tense. The future is also used when you are uncertain when the event will take place, and with hypothetical statements/questions: * '''Nösaraciev, binä quascræ mæöra'''. ''I will ask him sooner or later''. * '''Vömä? nörasägræ éren'''. ''When are they going to learn?'' Lit: ''When will learn they''? * '''Qualtéabinör méla, vonériáda, danöÞ danpöræ?''' ''I wonder if it’s going to rain tomorrow?'' Lit: ''I wonder if, tomorrow, it will rain''? * '''DanöÞ nébaræ, am perösarä, sævála dasquriøámn'''. ''There’s always going to be sadness in the world''. Lit: ''There will be, in the world, always sadness''. * '''Binä nitörieÞ stæpatiquálö,, brát binä qönér,, taÞ Éan quascræ binöra néba di onis sáj qve mæöra'''. ''I’m not quite sure, but I think Ian is going to ask me to be his best man.'' There is also another inflection to the future tense, which is an additional '''n'''. This equates to the English use of ''shall'' and where ''will'' is used in requests, and can also translate as ''lets'': * '''Iáda'ninÞi, ména görøræan, yil?''' ''Shall we go out tonight?'' * '''Iáda'ninÞi, ména görøræan.''' ''Let's go out tonight'' * '''Diö qoÞ, öcra binöra, eÞöa vaquræan, yil?''' ''Will you do something for me?'' ---- ==='''The Passive Tense'''=== In English, the passive tense is formed with a form of the verb ''to be'' and the past participle of the verb. Verbs are said to be either ACTIVE: ''The executive committee '''approved''' the new policy'', or PASSIVE: ''The new policy '''was approved''' by the executive committee'' in voice. In the active voice, the subject and verb relationship is straightforward: the subject is a ''be-er'' or a ''do-er'' and the verb moves the sentence along. In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is neither a ''do-er'' or a ''be-er'', but is acted upon by some other agent or by something unnamed: ''The new policy '''was approved'''. Dalcurian has no passive voice. Instead, the active voice is used with an impersonal pronoun, either '''minä'''-''you/one'' or '''minäla'''-''they'' (not to be mistaken as '''éren'''-''they''-this is only used when the ''they'' are known). There are several passive tenses in English, again, all of which can be rendered by the active voice in Dalcurian. Below are several examples to illustrate this, using the verb '''inoventör'''-''design'': '''Present''' * ''The car/s is/are designed with safety in mind''. ** '''Minäla, amqönérämös mérasámn, inoventör di vötöj/el''' ''Lit: They, in thought of safety, design the car/s.'' '''Present Progressive''' * ''The car/s is/are being designed with safety in mind.'' ** '''Minäla, amqönérämös mérasámn, inoventöria di vötöj/el.''' Lit: ''They, in thought of safety, are designing the car/s.'' '''Simple Past''' * ''The car/s was/were designed with safety in mind.'' ** '''Minäla, amqönérämös mérasámn, gä’inoventör di vötöj/el.''' Lit: ''They, in thought of safety, designed the car/s.'' '''Perfect Present''' * '''The car/s have been designed with safety in mind'''. ** '''Minäla, amqönérämös mérasámn, gä'ábra-inventör di vötöjel'''. lit: ''They, in thought of safety, have designed the car/s''. '''Perfect Past''' * '''The car/s had been designed with safety in mind'''. ** '''Minäla, amqönérämös mérasámn, gä'ádra-inventör di vötöjel'''. lit: ''They, in thought of safety, had designed the car/s''. '''Continuing past''' * ''The car/s was/were being designed with safety in mind.'' This is the 'odd ball' of the Dalcurian passive equivalent. The construction ''was/were being designed'' indicates that the process was halted for some reason. For instance, we could elaborate on the sentence: ''The cars were being designed with safety in mind but due to a design fault their production was delayed''. The Dalcurian equivalent is to use the simple past; context becoming clear from additional text or info. '''Future''' * ''The car/s will be/will have been designed with safety in mind.'' ** '''Minäla, amqönérämös mérasámn, inoventöræ di vötöj/el.''' Lit: ''They, in thought of safety, will design the car/s''. ---- =='''To Be or not to Be!'''== The verb ''to be'' is probably one the most inflected verbs in use, even though it is classed as an auxiliary verb. It has no less than eight conjugations in English and even more in German! In complexity, the Dalcurian verb ''to be'' '''néba''', is far less complex than in other languages. It has only 'one' inflection which is to denote the future tense '''nébaræ'''-''will be'' and it's the words it is used in conjunction with that denote its other tenses. As you should know by now, there are no present tense conjugations am/are/is; their existence lies within the ''pronoun/noun'' or the ''present participle'' of a main verb. In fact, it should be noted that '''néba''' has very little usage at all in Dalcurian speech, save for political and very formal contexts. ==='''Néba'''-present/progressive tense '''''being'''''=== This is the ''am/are/is being'' form, invariably followed by an adjective. Dalcurian does not use '''néba''' at all in this construct, but rather idiomaticaly uses the present progressive verb inflection '''ia''' with an adjective (if the adjective ends in '''i''', then this is removed): * '''Gegéna, éren faliÞ'ia'''. ''They are being stupid again''. lit: ''They are '''stupiding''' again''. * '''Megan veclérÞ belistø'ia.''' ''Megan is being really noisy.'' lit: ''Megan is really '''noisying'''''. To make this past, ''was/were being'', one simply puts the adjective into the past tense: * '''Gegéna, éren gé'faliÞ'ia'''. ''They were being stupid again''. lit: ''They were '''stupiding''' again''. * '''Megan veclérÞ gé'belistø'ia.''' ''Megan was being really noisy.'' lit: ''Megan was really '''noisying'''''. ==='''Infinitive use'''=== When '''néba''' is used with the modal verbs '''már'''-''may'', '''nöacr'''-''can'', '''mösár'''-''must'', '''Þöldr'''-''should'' in the present tense, it takes the infinite meaning ''be'', but with '''voltir'''-''want'', it acts as a ''to'' infinitive: * '''Mæ voltir néba berömni.''' ''He wants to be famous''. * '''Di löræasáÞ mösár néba te’qurehendø.''' ''The music must be louder.'' ('''Note''': the modal verb '''mösár''' is translatable as ''to have to'' and not as strict as ''must''). * '''Mæ Þöldr néba dérÞ'''. ''He should be here.'' ==='''Néba future tense'''=== The future tense is denoted in the same way as any other Dalcurian verb except that it adds an '''r''' before the future inflection '''æ''': * '''Dörac vonériáda, danöÞ nébaræ strömi'''. ''It will be hot all day tomorrow.''

There is no equivalent of ''am/pm''. When written numerically, an uppercase '''s''' follows, which stands for '''stöndæel'''-''hours''. Here are some quick examples: * '''12:15S''' ''12:15pm'' * '''4:25S''' ''4:25am'' * '''19:30S''' ''7:30pm'' When spoken: * '''pensenta dis dionsenta''' lit: ''15 of [the hour] 12'' (the word '''stöndæel''' is ommitted in speech) * '''penö'dionta dis tera''' lit: ''25 of [the hour] 4'' * '''träonta dis ninasenta''' lit: ''30 of [the hour] 19'' =='''Asking the time'''== There are 2 ways in which the time can be asked: * '''Vöeni? stöndæel qve iáda.''' lit: ''How many hours of today?'' * '''Qualasöri, andri véca? stöndæ agöentr di épø.''' lit: ''Excuse me, at which hour stands the time''? The 2nd example is a very polite way to ask (when asking strangers or peers). As with most requests or questions in Dalcurian, voice intonation rises at the end. =='''Responding'''== Depending on the manner in which you are asked, there are 2 responses. These typically emulate the style of the request: * '''Vöeni? stöndæel qve iáda. ''DanöÞ pensenta dis dionsenta.''''' ** ''What time is it? It's 12:15pm.'' lit: ''There are 15 of the hour 12''. * '''Qualasöri, andri véca? stöndæ agöentr di épø. ''Yil qoÞ, di épø, andri träonta dis ninasenta, agöentr'''''. ** ''Can you tell me the time please? Certainly, the time is 7:30pm.'' lit: ''The time, at 30 of the hour 19, stands.'' Dal'qörian nouns 3694 47226 2009-07-13T13:21:13Z Rivendale 279 /* Compound Nouns */ [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] ==Noun forms== There are 5 classifications of noun in Dalcurian: ===Tangible nouns=== These are mainly nouns that are physical; can be felt, seen and touched. These always end in '''j''' (with some exceptions): * '''gadöraj''' ''dog'' * '''ádecödrij''' ''accessory'' * '''ratäj''' ''deer'' * '''fosetaj''' ''tap'' * '''sáj''' ''man'' ===Verb-derivative nouns=== These are nouns formed from an infinitive and have the characteristic ending '''ämös''': * '''amör'''-''to love'' '''amörämös'''-''love'' * '''ölegár'''-''to order'' '''ölgarämös'''-''order/instruction'' * '''quatésr'''-''to confess'' '''quatésrämös'''-''confession'' ===Adjective related nouns=== These are nouns that have an adjectival relative but no verbal relative. They take the charactaristic ending '''ámn''': * '''nistelæÞ'''-''dejected'' '''nistelæÞámn'''-''dejection'' * '''incatröli'''-''lawful'' '''incatröliámn'''-''law'' * '''Þravætas'''-''gravitational'' '''Þravætasámn'''-''gravity'' ===Stative nouns=== These are nouns that depict someone or something as having an attribute, such as: profession, religion, nationality etc, and typically take the ending '''átsi''': * '''incatrolátsi'''-''police'' (this is a plural noun by default) * '''reparesenátsi'''-''ambassador'' * '''stæmátsi'''-''anarchist'' * '''Estöna'''-''Estonia'' '''Estönátsi'''-''Estonian'' * '''Anglæána'''-''England'' '''Anglæánátsi'''-''English'' * '''qaÞolianámn'''-''catholosism'' '''qaÞolianátsi'''-catholic'' ===General nouns=== These are nouns which take no ending, and have no verbal or adjectival relative: * '''vönæÞ'''-''address'' * '''ädaquatic'''-''antiquity'' * '''stöndæ'''-''hour'' ---- =='''Gerunds'''== In English, a gerund is the present participle acting as a noun. These are recognizable in the following instances: '''Non finite clauses''': * '''''The running''' of the country is an unenviable task.'' * '''''The recording''' of an album can be a costly effort''. '''After prepositions''' * ''I've warned you '''about running''' in the corridor''! * ''The police warned us '''against going''' into the building''. '''The verb acting as a subject/object''' * ''I like '''swimming'''''. (direct object) * '''''Swimming''' is fun''. (subject) '''The gerund preceeded by a genitive''' * ''We enjoyed '''their singing'''''. For the most part, a Dalcurian gerund is rendered with the infinitive and the preposition '''te'''-''to'': * '''Te qalegør ni qalegørämös näocr stætaröpas vädenár'''. ''The recording of a record can be expensive.'' * '''Te valcr 20 minötel iádasas, öcra di läbendéj, éagöra.''' ''Walking 20 minutes per day is good for the heart. * '''Te øélár andri nörasábel máriÞ vendábrämösel disiri tamørämös.''' ''Laughing at disabled people is very ignorant.'' With prepositions, '''te''' attaches to the verb by high apostrophe: * '''Minäla, ''rödn te'vaÞr'' am amnistráÞ, gä'vonlétr minöra'''. ''We were warned '''about running''' in the corridor.'' Lit: They, over to run in the corridor, warned us''. * '''Di incatrolátsi, ''stæcamä te'gör'' amte prodnæj, gä'béÞamr minöra'''. ''The police advised us '''against going''' into the building''. Lit: The police, against to go into the building, advised us''. Where a verb acts as an object, this is simply given as a pure infinitive: * '''Binä iqur svemör'''. ''I like swimming''. Lit: ''I like to swim''. If the verb has an actual noun, then this can also be used with an article: * '''Ni svemörämös di agöepedandrädn ebian qve binöra'''. ''Swimming is my favourite hobby''. Lit: ''A swim is my favourite hobby''. '''With Genitives''' These kinds of gerunds are not translatable in Dalcurian. For example: * ''We liked her singing''-'''singing''' is not a noun in Dalcurian. One may reformulate the sentence as: * '''Ména gä'iqur di gäba,, vöes sia gä'löigár.''' ''We liked the way she sang''. =='''Plurals'''== The Dalcurian noun simply adds '''el''' to form plurals. Nouns ending in a flat '''a''' remove their final vowel: * '''áda'''-''day '''ádel'''-''days'' * '''abödä'''-''house'' '''abödäel'''-''houses'' * '''televizian'''-''television'' '''televizianel'''-''televisions'' * '''ninÞi'''-''night'' '''ninÞiel'''-''nights'' =='''Compound Nouns'''== Until quite recently (and to some extent, still in use. See end of section), Dalcurian compound nouns were formed either with the possessive '''qve''' or the genitive '''dis/nis'''. '''Qve''' was used if the noun being spoken of was general, ie not identified: * '''dalmanj qve Þradäjel''' ''door handle'' lit ''handle of doors'' ** '''Binä gä'nemör ''ni dalmanj qve Þradäjel'''''. ''I bought '''a door handle'''''. Note that ''doors'' is plural; this is what denotes the generalization. If I bought many door handles then I would say: * '''Binä gä'nemör ''émø dalmanjel qve Þradäjel'''. ''I bought '''some door handles'''''. lit: ''I bought some '''handles''' of doors''. The genitive would be used if I wanted to talk about a specific door handel: * '''di dalmanj dis Þradäj''' ''the door handle'' lit: ''the handle '''of the''' door'' ** '''Binä gä'peliacr di dalmanj dis Þradäj'''. ''I replaced the door handle''. Some examples: * '''ni ecörämös qve penjel''' ''(a) headache'' lit: ''an ache of heads'' ** '''di ecörämös dis penj''' ''the headache'' *** '''di ecörämös dis penj binöra''' ''my headache'' * '''ni dræpéraj qve öánajel''' ''(a) shower curtain'' ** '''di dræpéraj dis öánaj''' ''the shower curtain'' *** '''émø dræpérajel qve öánajel''' ''some shower curtains'' ---- The use of possessive and genitive compound constructs has been in decline for a number of years, being seen as somewhat archaic. In fact the whole language has undergone some significant syntactical changes recently. One will commonly see these days, compounds being formed as thus: * '''ni ecör'penjämös''' ''a headache'' * '''di dræpéra'öánaj''' ''the shower curtain'' * '''dalman'Þradäjel''' ''door handles'' Typically, if both the nouns are tangible (take a '''j''' suffix), the suffix from the first noun is removed and replaced with an apostrophe. Plural endings go onto the end noun.<br>Adding to that, if the 1st noun is an '''ämös''' noun, the suffix is removed and placed at the end of the compound. NOTE 1: This is to some extent colloquial, but very popular among the younger generation. Many newspapers now use the new construct, but this is mainly in the towns and cities. In fact, there are still many shops and restaraunt/eating establishments who prefer the old method in their shop names and menus. NOTE 2: Compounds are always written in their appropriate form in dictionaries, and dictionaries published after 2006 have both modern and the now 'archaic' constructs. Dal'qörian numbers 3695 47124 2009-07-07T13:06:43Z Rivendale 279 __TOC__ [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] Dalcurian has 2 numerical systems: a modern decimal system and the old [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigesimal vigesimal system].The decimal system is that which is now used in mainstream life, and the first system that is taught in schools, however, the old system is still used in many rural and valley towns and villages across the islands. Dalcurian numbers are rarely written in full. Numbers after 1000 can become quite complex. You will see in the examples below, that each denomination is separated with an apostrophe; this is not normally used save here for ease of learning. =='''Decimal System'''== ==='''Cardinal numbers'''=== 0 '''döqu''' 1 '''on''' 2 '''dion''' 3 '''tre''' 4 '''tera''' 5 '''pen''' 6 '''hec''' 7 '''senal''' 8 '''aÞ''' 9 '''nina''' 10 '''senta''' 11 '''onsenta''' 12 '''dionsenta''' 13 '''tresenta''' 14 '''terasenta''' 15 '''pensenta''' 16 '''hecsenta''' 17 '''senalsenta''' 18 '''aÞsenta''' 19 '''ninasenta''' 20 '''dionta''' 21 '''onö'dionta''' 22 '''dionö'dionta''' 23 '''treö'dionta''' 24 '''terö'dionta''' 25 '''penö'dionta''' 26 '''hecö'dionta''' 27 '''senalö'dionta''' 28 '''aÞö'dionta''' 29 '''ninö'dionta''' 30 '''träonta''' 40 '''teronta''' 50 '''penonta''' 60 '''solonta''' 70 '''senalonta''' 80 '''aÞonta''' 90 '''ninonta''' 31, 45, 57, 83 etc follow the same pattern as those in the 20's denomination. ---- 100 '''qenta''' It should be noted here that in the 100s denomination, the smaller units of 10 always go first. For numbers above 100, an additional '''ö''' is suffixed to the 10's denomination. Where the numeral ends in a vowel, this is removed: 101 '''onö'qenta''' 110 '''sentö'qenta''' Lit: ten and one hundred 125 '''penö'dionta'qenta''' 200 '''dionö'qenta''' 300 '''trö'qenta''' 400 '''terö'qenta''' 500 '''penö'qenta''' 600 '''solö'qenta''' 700 '''senalö'qenta''' 800 '''aÞö'qenta''' 900 '''ninö'qenta''' ---- In the thousands denomination, up to the 100, the sequence of numerals goes from smallest to largest. 1000 '''secenta''' 1001 '''onö'secenta''' Lit: one and one thousand 1010 '''sentö'secenta''' Lit: ten and one thousand 1056 '''solö'penontö'secenta''' Lit: fifty six and one thousand-note also that 56, '''solö'penonta''' also inflects with '''ö''' for the addition of '''secenta''' Numerals in 1000s + 100s can be a little complex. The 1000s denomination always comes first, followed by the 100s. If the 100s denomination includes 10s, eg: 1'''56''', then 156 will be spoken as it normally would: 1100 '''sencentö'qenta''' Lit: one thousand and one hundred 2000 '''dionsecenta''' 2100 '''dionsecentö'qenta''' 2156 '''dionsecentö-solö'penontö'qenta''' Lit: two thousand + fifty six and one hundred 3000 '''tresecenta''' 4000 '''teresecenta''' 5000 '''pensecenta''' 6000 '''solsecenta''' 7000 '''senalsecenta''' 8000 '''aÞsecenta''' 9000 '''ninasecenta''' ---- To form numerals from 10,000 to 99,000, we use contracted forms of 11 to 99 + '''secenta'''. The contraction sees the removal of '''ta''' from '''senta''', eg: 10,000 '''sen[ta]secenta''' becomes '''sensecenta''' 11,000 '''onsen[ta]secenta''' becomes '''onsensecenta''' ---- 100,000 '''qenta'secenta''' 200,000 '''dionö'qenta'secenta''' ---- million '''miläon''' billion '''biläon''' ==='''Ordinal Numbers'''=== All Dalcurian ordinal numbers are formed by adding '''dimä''' to the cardinal: 1st '''ondimä''' 2nd '''diondimä''' 3rd '''tredimä''' 10th '''sentadimä''' 32nd '''dionö'träontadimä''' ==='''Plurals'''=== Numbers can take the plural suffix '''el''': * '''Andri peförädn, danöÞ gä'Þalár secentel nörasábel'''. ''There were thousands of people at the show''. ==='''Fractions'''=== Most Dalcurian fractions, except ''half'' are formed by adding '''iÞ''' to the ordinal: a third '''ni tredimäiÞ''' a quarter '''ni teradimäiÞ''' a tenth '''ni sentadimäiÞ''' * '''IádaninÞi, siÞ di tredimäiÞ raförämös,, taÞ sia gä'ábramaqur.''' ''This is the third time she has rang tonight''. ''Half'' can either a noun or an adjective, in which case it takes the appropriate ending: * '''Binä iqurquas ni ''onsarämös'''''. ''I'll have a '''half''' (of beer)''. * '''Binä gä'quádr ''onsarädn'' di lalégraj'''. ''I only read '''half''' the book''. =='''Old System'''== The old (partially) vigesimal system was in mainstream use right up to the mid 19th century. It is very similar to French in that numbers from 30 to 39 are made up of 20 + 11, 12, 13 etc. ''Forty'' is literally ''two twenties'' (twenty takes a plural ending), 41 is ''two twenties and one'', 50 is ''two twenties and ten'', 55 is ''two twenties and fifteen'', etc. 60 is ''three twenties'', 80 is ''four twenties'' until 100, which has its own name of '''qenta'''. However, unlike French and similar to German, the smaller digit goes first up to 100. ==='''Cardinal numbers'''=== 0 '''döqu''' 1 '''on''' 2 '''dion''' 3 '''tre''' 4 '''tera''' 5 '''pen''' 6 '''hec''' 7 '''senal''' 8 '''aÞ''' 9 '''nina''' 10 '''senta''' 11 '''onsenta''' 12 '''dionsenta''' 13 '''tresenta''' 14 '''terasenta''' 15 '''pensenta''' 16 '''hecsenta''' 17 '''senalsenta''' 18 '''aÞsenta''' 19 '''ninasenta''' 20 '''dionta''' 21 '''onö'dionta''' 22 '''dionö'dionta''' 23 '''treö'dionta''' 24 '''terö'dionta''' 25 '''penö'dionta''' 26 '''hecö'dionta''' 27 '''senalö'dionta''' 28 '''aÞö'dionta''' 29 '''ninö'dionta''' 30 '''sentö'dionta''' Lit: ten & twenty 31 '''onsentö'dionta''' 32 '''dionsentö'dionta''' 33 '''tresentö'dionta''' 34 '''terasentö'dionta''' 35 '''pensentö'dionta''' 36 '''hecsentö'dionta''' 37 '''senalsentö'dionta''' 38 '''aÞsentö'dionta''' 39 '''ninasentö'dionta''' 40 '''dion'diontel''' Lit: two twenties-note the plural ending 41 '''dion'diontelö'on''': Lit: two twenties and one 50 '''dion'diontelö'senta''' 60 '''tre'diontel''' Lit: three twenties 70 '''sentö'tre'diontel''' 80 '''tera'diontel''' Lit: four twenties 90 '''sentö'tera'diontel''' ---- 100 '''qenta''' For numbers after 100, all numerals under 100 go AFTER '''qenta'''.

Dal'qörian Cases 3696 47102 2009-07-07T12:44:06Z Rivendale 279 __TOC__ [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] Dalcurian does not have a case system per se, which specifically marks subjects, objects and indirect objects (except pronouns which inflect for nom/acc). The language is predominantley word order based. However, there is a case for genitives, but, for the sake of this article, I feel it necessary to point out a traditional argument among grammarians worldwide regarding the difference between 'genitive' and 'possession'. The argumant is that, if something is 'owned', then the term should be possession: ''my house, your dog, Jack's car''. These can also be reformulated (albeit archaically) with 'of': ''the house of me, the dog of you, the car of Jack''. But 'of' can also be used when something is 'not' owned: ''a group of friends, a glass of milk, a bunch of flowers''. This is what some would term as purely 'genitive'. I myself am only going to make small distinctions between 'genitive' and 'possession', since Dalcurian grammarians show little significance to this argument. The use of examples should make this clear. =='''Possession'''== Dalcurian possession is very straight forward in that it's formed with the preposition '''qve'''-''of'' and an accusative pronoun (or simply a noun). The following examples equate to the use of a possessive adjective, such as ''my, our, your'', the use of possessive pronouns such as ''mine, yours, hers'', and the use of ''of'' such as in ''friends of mine, glass of milk'': * '''di abödä qve binöra''' ''my house'' * '''di gadöraj qve diöra''' ''your dog'' * '''di flästa vötöj qve mæöra''' ''his new car'' * '''di didérämös qve Kála''' ''Kala's drink'' * '''qömpalel qve binöra''' ''my friends/friends of mine'' * '''ni didéragläj qve milecij''' ''a glass of milk'' Possessive pronouns such as ''mine, ours, his'' etc, as with possessive adjectives do not exist in Dalcurian, thus one cannot say ''that's mine, it's ours'' etc; a noun will always be present in a possessive sentence: * '''Vehiri?, máriÞ séÞa vötöj, gehör .''' '''TaÞ di vötöj qve binöra'''. ''Who's is this car? It's my car'' (or can be unliterally translated as ''it's mine'')<br>For more on this example, see bottom of page. =='''Genitive== There is also another possessive construct, as in: ''the dog's basket, the house window, a chair leg'' etc. Again, ''of'' can be used: ''the basket of the dog, the window of the house, the leg of the chair''. With the exception of ''the dog's basket'', which is clearly possessive, (but relevant here), it could be said that ''house'' does not own ''window'' and ''chair'' does not own ''leg''. However, Dalcurian grammar DOES see this as a form of possession, since a ''window'' is a part of the ''house'', and a ''leg'' is a part of the ''chair''. THIS is what I would term genitive. However, all 3 translated into Dalcurian will use a 'genitive' case: * '''di säj dis gadöraj''' ''the dog's bed'' * '''di fenstanäj dis abödä''' ''the house window'' * '''ni stötsérämös nisqu siötrij''' ''a chair leg'' Here, the articles '''di/ni''' inflect; they add '''s''' when the following word begins with anything other than '''s''', and '''squ''' when the following word begins with '''s'''.<br>'''dis/nis''' literally translate as ''of the''. The rule here is quite straight forward: if you have to use ''the/a'' twice, as in '''the''' bed of '''the''' dog, a '''leg''' of '''a''' chair'', then use the genitive case. ==='''Double Genitives'''=== Double genitives are those such as: ''my dad's house, Lenny's girlfriend's car, her brother's wife'' etc. Here, the genitive case is used but the order of the nouns MUST be specific: *'''di abödä dis parenöj (qve) binöra''' ''my dad's house'' *'''di vötöj disqu siacömpéj (qve) Lenni''' ''Lenny's girlfriend's car'' *'''di siavedéj dis beröj (qve) siöra''' ''her brother's wife'' In the examples, the subject noun goes last: ''my, Lenny'' and ''her''. The noun that follows '''dis''' is the 'possessor' of the noun that precedes it. This is why noun placement is important. The above examples literally translate as: *''the house of the dad (of) me'' *''the car of the girlfriend (of) Lenny'' *''the wife of the brother (of) her As said, the order of the nouns is very important. Get these wrong and you change the whole meaning (sometimes amusingly): *'''di parenöj dis abödä binöra''' ''my house's dad'' *'''di siacömpéj dis vötöj (qve) Lenni''' ''Lenny's car's girlfriend'' *'''di beröj disqu siavedéj (qve) siöra''' ''her wife's brother'' NOTE 1: The preposition in brackets is omitted. '''qve''' is semantically embedded already with the onset of '''dis'''. NOTE 2: There are 2 easy rules to help you translate a double genitive into Dalcurian (if translating from English): 1: use the ''of'' construction; it will be easier to determine the noun order: * your computer hardrive-''the hardrive of the computer of you'' * Steven's son's friends-''the friends of the son of Steven'' 2: simply look at your construct and work backwards: * his wife's brother-Dalcurian order will be: ''brother-wife-his'' ---- About the example in the possessive section above: * '''Vehiri?, máriÞ séÞa vötöj, gehör .''' '''TaÞ di vötöj qve binöra'''. ''Who's is this car? It's my car'' The literal translation of the question being asked is: ''Who, with this car, belongs?'' It is very stylistic of Dalcurian to ask ''who '''belongs with''' what'', rather than ''whom does this belong''.

The language is only known from various posts to the CONLANG mailing list, according to which it is a very complex language with a large phoneme inventory; it has been compared to [[Ithkuil]] and characterized as a [[kitchen sink conlang]]. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== Tech is famed for its rich consonant inventory. One version Danny Wier posted on February 23, 2000 included as many as 327 consonants, involving secondary articulations such as palatalization and labialization. Later, Danny systematized the consonant inventory and arrived at a more moderate (though still rich) inventory of phonemes, with most of the "phonemes" of earlier incarnations being merely allophones of these phonemes. According to a post from July 9, 2001, the consonant phonemes of Old Tech are: {| class="wikitable" |- align="center" |- ! colspan="2" rowspan="2"| &nbsp; ! rowspan="2" | [[Bilabial consonant|Bilabial]] ! colspan="2" | [[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] or [[Dental consonant|dental]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Postalveolar consonant|Post-<br>alveolar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Retroflex consonant|Retroflex]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Palatal consonant|Palatal]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Velar consonant|Velar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Uvular consonant|Uvular]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Pharyngeal consonant|Pharyngeal]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Glottal consonant|Glottal]] |- !<small>[[Central consonant|central]]</small> !<small>[[Lateral consonant|lateral]]</small> |- align="center" ! rowspan="3" | [[Plosive consonant|Plosive]] !<small>[[Ejective consonant|ejective]]</small> | pʼ | tʼ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | ʈʼ | &nbsp; | kʼ | qʼ | &nbsp; | ʔ |- align="center" !<small> [[Voiceless consonant|voiceless]]</small> | p | t | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | ʈ | &nbsp; | k | q | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align="center" !<small>[[Voice (phonetics)|voiced]]</small> | b | d | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | ɖ | &nbsp; | ɡ | ɢ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! rowspan="3" | [[Affricate consonant|Affricate]] !<small>ejective</small> | &nbsp; | tsʼ | tɬʼ | tʃʼ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align="center" !<small>voiceless</small> | &nbsp; | ts | tɬ | tʃ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align="center" !<small>voiced</small> | &nbsp; | dz | dɮ | dʒ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! text-align: left;" rowspan="2" | [[Fricative consonant|Fricative]] !<small>voiceless</small> | &nbsp; | s | ɬ | ʃ | ʂ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | ħ | h |- align="center" !<small>voiced</small> | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | ʕ | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! colspan="2" | [[Nasal consonant|Nasal]] | m | n | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | ɳ | ɲ | ŋ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! colspan="2" | [[Trill consonant|Trill]] | &nbsp; | r | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | ɽ | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! colspan="2" | [[Approximant consonant|Approximant]] | w | &nbsp; | l | &nbsp; | ɭ | j | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |} ===Vowels=== Like the consonant inventory, the vowel inventory of Tech has for long been in flux, with (again) very large inventories having been considered by the author.

Folksprak is a consensus project by more than one Folksprak speaker. Here's all about the 'version' as it were (of the language more generally called Folkspraak) which Roland Sookias (Esq.) likes. He hopes you like it too. Obviously. ==Phonology and orthography== ===Summary=== My preferred phonology can be summed up as this: *Long and short versions of /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ (and possibly /y/) *The diphthongs /au/ and /ai/, and the sort-of-diphthong /iu/. The diphthongs are really just combinations of the other vowels - i.e. they contain no new/other sounds. *English/German consonants with /ʃ/ and /x/, no /θ/ or /ð/, /w/ as an alternative to /v/ My preferred orthography can be summed up as this: *'Classical Latin-style' vowels and consonants plus <w>/<v>, <h>/<ch>, <sh>/<sch> for /w/, /x/ and /ʃ/ (difficult to decide, as Latin didn't have an extra letter for /w/ and didn't have the /ʃ/ and /x/ sounds) *Vowels are short if unstressed or if followed by two or more consonants. *As well as the unstressed syllables in polysyllabic words, certain groups (articles, interrogatives, prepositions, demonstratives, monosyllabic pronouns) monosyllabic words are considered 'unstressed', and thus do not need two consonants to mark a short vowel ===Full Table=== <table width="700px"> <tr> <td>Phoneme</td> <td>Orthography</td> <td>Pronunciation (IPA)</td> <td>Proto-Germanic origin</td> <td>Example word</td> <td>Meaning of word</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Short vowels</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/a/</td> <td>aCC (C=consonant) or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[a], [ɑ], [æ], [ɐ]</td> <td>Mostly /a/</td> <td>mann</td> <td>man</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/e/</td> <td>eCC or unstressed, <e> followed by <g> (alternative prono.)</td> <td>[ɛ], [e] is acceptable, [ə] when unstressed</td> <td>i-muated /a/, dimunition of other vowels</td> <td>et</td> <td>it</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/i/</td> <td>iCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ɪ], [i] acceptable</td> <td>/i/ mostly</td> <td>in</td> <td>in</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/o/</td> <td>oCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ɔ], [ɒ], [o] acceptable</td> <td>/u/ with a-mutation, /a/</td> <td>frost</td> <td>frost</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/u/</td> <td>uCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ʊ], [u] acceptable, and possibly also [ʏ] if /y/ is not a separate phoneme</td> <td>/u/ without mutation</td> <td>uss</td> <td>us</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/y/</td> <td>yCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ʏ], [y] acceptable</td> <td>/u/ with i-mutation</td> <td>rygg</td> <td>back (ridge is cognate)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Long vowels</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/aː/</td> <td>aC stressed, terminal a</td> <td>[aː], [ɑː], [ɐː] (poss.

"iss" is probably best recommended for singular, and "ar" for plural, with "bi" being an option for first and second persons if you find "iss" jarring (as I do slightly). Use of any of these three for any person is totally correct though, as is use of "wes". The past is "was" or "war", again with "was" perhaps best used for singular and "war" for plural, but usage of either for any person is fine. The past participal is "wesen". The past and past participal of regular verbs are identical and are formed with <-d> or <-t> (or <-ed> if the verb ends in <d> or <t>).Many common verbs have an optional 'strong' (i.e. ablauted, and thus irregular) form which is usually different in the past perfect and past participal. It is perfectly legitimate to use the regular form of all verbs though, even "wes(e)" (to be) if you want, and thus all that is required of the learner is to passively understand the irregular past tenses. Examples of strong verbs are as follows (present -> past -> past participal): swimm -> swamm -> swummen (optionally "swimmd" instead) ...means "to swim" find -> fand -> funden (optionally "finded") ...means "to find" se -> sa -> sen (optionally "sed") ...means "to see" raid -> red -> ridden (optionally "raided") ...means "to ride" et -> at -> eten (eted) ...means "to eat" flig -> flog -> flogen (fligd) ...means "to fly" giv -> gav -> given (givd) ...means "to give" A slight exception in that the irregularity is not due to ablaut is "hav(e)" (to have) which is "hadd" or "havd" in the past and past participal. Another is "wes(e)" (to be) which is " ==Articles== The definite article is <de>, pronounced /də/ (or /dɛ/ or /deː/ if stressed), and the indefinite article is <en> pronounced /ən/ (or /ɛn/ or /eːn/ if stressed). ==Adjectives and adverbs== As there's no gender or case system, adjectives are not affected by what they describe, so "de gryn haus" and "en gryn waiv" (the green house, a green woman/wife). Adverbs do not need an extra "-lig" suffix like "-ly" in most UK English, so "ig ga snell" (I go quickly) not "ig ga snellig". Both "snell" and "snellig" are correct, but there's no need for the "-lig" suffix. ==Word order== Word order is really flexible and largely down to the speaker. Subject-verb-object order is normal really, and should come naturally to most speakers as this is the default/basic order in the Germanic and Romance languages and in Chinese. You're more than welcome to say "ig de fud et" instead of "ig et de fud" (I eat the food) if you really want to or for artistic purposes as the meaning's still utterly clear though! For questions one can use S-V-O order and raise your voice at the end or add ", ne?", or you can use V-S-O order with raising your voice, so "et ig de fud?". You can of course not raise your voice, but beware this may mean the sentence is taken as a mere statement as VSO order is OK for statements too! ==Prepositions etc.== Here are some common prepostions and other little words and their meaning: *"in" means "in" *"up" or "upan" (also "upán", "up-an" - said /u'pan/) mean "on" *"bai" or "baisaid" (also "baisáid", "bai-said" - said /bai'said/) means beside - "besaid" might be more natural, although less immediately clear for non-English speakers *"av" means "of" *"fron" means "from" *"aut" means "out" *"turch" means "through" *"over" means "over" or "above" *"under" means "under" or "below" Sasxsek 3701 21747 2007-05-13T15:58:21Z Dananutter 290 {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #f0f0f0 solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" align="center" |'''SASXSEK''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||SAS ("Earth") |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||? |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||[[Wikipedia:Creole|Creole]]<br> |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||SVO |- |- |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||[[User:dananutter|Dana Nutter]]|| 2003 |} '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] is an artificial (or constructed) language designed to be used as an auxiliary language which is simple to learn but powerful enough to cover the full range of human expression. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] es una lengua artificial (o construido) diseñada para ser utilizado como lengua auxiliar que sea simple aprender pero bastante de gran alcance cubrir la gama completa de la expresión humana. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] est une langue artificielle (ou construit) conçue pour être employé comme langue auxiliaire qui est simple pour apprendre mais assez puissant pour couvrir la gamme complète de l'expression humaine. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] es un artificial (o construite) linguage deseniate pro uso como un lingua auxiliar que es simple pro apprender ma bastante poterose pro coperir le plen extension de expression human. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] будет искусственним (или построено) языком конструированным быть использованным как вспомогательный язык просто выучить но мощно достаточно для того чтобы покрыть полный диапасон людского выражения. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] 是一种人为(或修建) 语言被设计被使用作为简单学会的一种辅助语言但足够强有力报道人的表示的全方位。 == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] 是一種人為(或修建) 語言被設計被使用作為簡單學會的一種輔助語言但足夠強有力報道人的表示的全方位。 == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] ist eine künstliche (oder konstruiert) Sprache, die entworfen ist, als zusätzliche Sprache verwendet zu werden, die einfach ist zu erlernen, aber leistungsfähig genug, die volle Strecke des menschlichen Ausdruckes zu umfassen. == == 人間の表現の全体範囲をカバーするには '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] 学びやすいしかし十分に強力である補助言語として使用されるように設計されている人工的な(または組み立てられる) 言語。 === 인간 표정의 전 범위를 충당하는 배우게 '''SASXSEK''' [sas.əsek] 간단한 보조 언어로 사용되 도록 디자인되는 인공적인 (또는 건설하는) 언어 그러나 충분히 강력한 이다. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] is een kunstmatige (of geconstrueerd) taal die wordt ontworpen om als een hulptaal worden gebruikt die eenvoudig is te leren maar krachtig genoeg om de volledige waaier van menselijke uitdrukking te behandelen. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] è una lingua artificiale (o costruito) destinata per essere usato come lingua ausiliaria che è semplice imparare ma abbastanza potente coprire la gamma completa di espressione umana. == == '''SASXSEK''' [ sas.ə.sek ] είναι μια τεχνητή (ή κατασκευασμένος) γλώσσα με σκοπό να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως βοηθητική γλώσσα που είναι απλή να μαθευτεί αλλά αρκετά ισχυρός να καλύψει την πλήρη σειρά της ανθρώπινης έκφρασης. =External Links= * Official Site (http://www.nutter.net/sasxsek) * Yahoo Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sasxsek/) * Usenet (news:alt.language.sasxsek) User:Xipirho 3702 18008 2007-01-03T08:48:16Z Xipirho 289 My name's Roland/Roly and I'm 20 and from near Oxford in England, though currently at uni in Cambridge.

Bipedal mammals of great intelligence, of whom some also have great aptitude in directly contacting and manipulating the Flowing Airs, their physical form is highly adapted for terrestrial activity, yet retains some interesting physical features that are clues as to their originally aquatic heritage. Their range covers most of the two major landmasses of Eraminä, Rymethus and Kangeya, making them also the only species to have a truly global distribution – a circumstance commonly attributed to their adaptive abilities and proficiency both in utilizing the Flowing Airs of the world, and in making use of technology. Social and communicative beings with a strong sense of culture, the Osemoro are presently highly differentiated as a species into ethnicities and races, some of the most significant being the Sèvayn Rymeth which inhabit the Imperial lands in southern Rymethus, and the Kangeyazin who inhabit the northern areas of Kangeya. ==Etymology of the Name== While the various ethnic and cultural groups of this species mostly have their own names for their species, the word ''Osemoro'' is often used even in other languages to refer to the species. The word itself means ‘eldest’, or ‘most senior’, in the old language now preserved as Hynasul Koma’äkazh or the Language of the Temple which is the predecessor of modern Hynasul Rymethazh, the Rymeth language. ==Physical Traits== The Osemoro are bipedal mammals whose general form are highly akin to the humans of our world; they stand mostly between 5.5 chy (around 155 cm) to 1 shak 1 chy (around 195 cm) in height, a differentiation that is often taken to correspond with race, though other factors are certainly at play as well. In general both genders within the Sèvayn Rymeth stand at around 1 shak to 1 shak 4 hyn (168 cm to 182 cm), and the Kangeyazin, more interestingly, exhibit marked gender dimorphism; while females stand around 5 chy 6 hyn to 1 shak (160 cm to 168 cm), the males average at 1 shak 2 hyn (175 cm) and can reach 1 shak 6 hyn (189 cm). Hair tends to grow on the head, and thinly on the back of the arms and hands for females; on males hair on the chest and legs is quite common. Curiously the Osemoro rarely grow pubic hair. The racial differentiation of the Osemoro species stems primarily from visual differences, primarily in skin, hair and eye colour. Accordingly there is wide variety in all three, which sometimes betrays more information than merely one’s ethnicity (see [[Eyes of Sènaön]]).

Folkspræk 3705 48967 2009-09-05T18:19:44Z Tropylium 756 /* Consonants */ "Plosive" exists, "stop consonant" doesn't This is an attempt at a 'version' of the language Folkspraak which retains proto-Germanic (and the original orthographic convenions when the word does not originate from Germanic) graphemes in order to act as a 'neutral' orthography which is unaffected by decisions and preferences regarding final orthographic and phonetic form. It is not intended for especially easy learning or to be the final 'version' of the language (as the aim of the language is an easily learnable auxiliary language), but rather a way of making progress on areas such as word basic form and usage and of using the language whilst sidestepping 'decisions' such as eventual orthography. ==Basics== The orthography with reagrds 'native' words is basically a fairly standard proto-Germanic based one, whilst loan words retain their original spelling to a great extent. Suffixes and prefixes are as archaic as possible, e.g. <for-> not <fer->. In order that text written in the language may be rapidly translated into other 'versions' of Folkspraak, prefixes and suffixes can be marked with a <~>, <|>, or such between them and the stem, thus allowing them to be replaced by find-and-replace routine independently. The Greek alphabet, Cyrillic, or, less preferably, capital Roman letters, can be employed to distiguish 'loan' sounds from native ones. Thus loan /b/ can be written <β> in order that it not be shifted to <v> or such in other orthographies (which may, in this case, shift proto-Germanic medial and final /b/ to <v>). This feature may become obsolete rapidly for consonants at least as consensus on consonant form in generally better than with regard vowels. ===Consonants=== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |+ '''Standard Arabic consonant phonemes'''</CAPTION> |- ! rowspan="2" COLSPAN=2 | &nbsp; ! rowspan="2" | [[Bilabial consonant|Bilabial]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Interdental|Inter-dental]] ! colspan="2" | [[Dental consonant|Dental (incl. alveolar)]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Postalveolar|Post-<br>alveolar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Palatal consonant|Palatal]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Velar consonant|Velar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Uvular consonant|Uvular]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Pharyngeal consonant|Pharyn-<BR>geal]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Glottal consonant|Glottal]] |- ! style="text-align: left; font-size: 80%;" | &nbsp;plain&nbsp; ! style="text-align: left; font-size: 80%;" | [[pharyngealization|emphatic]] |- ! style="text-align: left;" ROWSPAN=2 | [[Plosive]] ! style="text-align: left; font-size: 80%;" | [[Voiceless consonant|voiceless]] | &nbsp; | &nbsp; || {{IPA|t̪}} || {{IPA|t̪ˁ}} || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|q}} | &nbsp; || {{IPA|ʔ}} |- ! style="text-align: left; font-size: 80%;" | [[Voiced consonant|voiced]] | {{IPA|b}} || &nbsp; || {{IPA|d̪}} || {{IPA|d̪ˁ}} || {{IPA|dʒ}}¹ || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; | &nbsp; || &nbsp; |- ! style="text-align: left;" ROWSPAN=2 | [[Fricative]] ! style="text-align: left; font-size: 80%;" | [[Voiceless consonant|voiceless]] | {{IPA|f}} | {{IPA|θ}} || {{IPA|s}} || {{IPA|sˁ}} || {{IPA|ʃ}} || &nbsp; || {{IPA|x}} || &nbsp; || {{IPA|ħ}} || {{IPA|h}} |- ! style="text-align: left; font-size: 80%;" | [[Voiced consonant|voiced]] | &nbsp; || {{IPA|ð}} || {{IPA|z}} || {{IPA|ðˁ}} || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || {{IPA|ɣ}} || &nbsp; | {{IPA|ʕ}} || &nbsp; |- ! style="text-align: left;" COLSPAN=2 | [[Nasal]] | {{IPA|m}} || &nbsp; || {{IPA|n}} || &nbsp; | &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; | rowspan="2" | &nbsp; | rowspan="2" | &nbsp; |- ! style="text-align: left;" COLSPAN=2 | [[Lateral consonant|Lateral]] | &nbsp; || &nbsp; | {{IPA|l}} ² || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; |- ! style="text-align: left;" COLSPAN=2 | [[Trill]] | &nbsp; | &nbsp; || {{IPA|r}} || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- ! style="text-align: left;" COLSPAN=2 | [[Approximant]] | {{IPA|w}} || &nbsp; | &nbsp; || &nbsp; || &nbsp; || {{IPA|j}} || &nbsp; || &nbsp; | &nbsp; || &nbsp; |} Template:Abandoned 3706 19538 2007-02-22T15:59:36Z Melroch 31 Formatting {| style="float:right; text-align:center;" !style="background:#CCCCFF;"| Author |- |valign="top"| {{ #if: {{{username|}}} | [[User:{{{username|}}}|{{{realname|{{{username|}}} }}}]] | {{ #if: {{{realname|}}} | {{{realname|}}} | {{{1|unknown}}}}}}} {{#if: {{{username|}}} |&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:{{{username|}}}|{{{talk|Talk}}}]] | {{ #if: {{{3|}}} |&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:{{{3}}}|Talk]]|}} }} |- !style="background:#CCCCFF;"| Status |- |valign="top"| <span style="color:red">abandoned</span> {{ #if: {{{date|}}} | ({{{date|}}}) |{{#if: {{{2|}}} | ({{{2|}}})|}} }} |}<noinclude> This infobox template is used to mark a page as abandoned (no longer worked on). It is based on the box [[User:Muke|Muke]] made at [[Latin Pinyin]]. It takes the following parameters: <nowiki>{{Abandoned|&lt;realname&gt;|&lt;date&gt;|&lt;username&gt;}}</nowiki> Or with named parameters: * <tt>username</tt> e.g. <tt>bartman</tt> :&mdash; creates a link to the userpage of the named user. * <tt>realname</tt> e.g. <tt>Bart Simpson</tt> :&mdash; If defined this will show in the user page link instead of the user name. If <tt>realname</tt> is defined but <tt>username</tt> isn't <tt>realname</tt> will be shown without a link. * <tt>talk</tt> e.g. <tt>Talk to me!</tt> :&mdash will be shown as the text of a link to the user talk page of <tt>username</tt>. If <tt>username</tt> is defined and <tt>talk</tt> isn't the link text will be ''Talk''. * <tt>date</tt> e.g. <tt>2012</tt> or <tt>December 21, 2012</tt> or <tt>Because I lost interest</tt> :&mdash; will be shown in parentheses after the word ''abandoned'', and should contain the (approximate) date the article was abandoned and/or the reason it was abandoned. If <tt>date</tt> is not defined nothing will be shown after ''abandoned'', not even the parentheses. Thus <nowiki>{{Abandoned|username=Melroch|realname=BPJ|date=2007,<br>because I was done with it}}</nowiki> will be shown as here to the right. {{Abandoned|username=Melroch|realname=BPJ|date=2007,<br>because I was done with it}} Some people don't like named parameters, but as I see them they help to separate logical content from formatting, which IMHO is a Good Thing in a template. Still if you like you can use unnamed parameters like this: <nowiki>{{Abandoned|&lt;realname&gt;|&lt;date&gt;|&lt;username&gt;}}</nowiki> e.g. <nowiki>{{Abandoned|&lt;BPJ&gt;|&lt;2007&gt;|&lt;Melroch&gt;}}</nowiki> {{Abandoned|BPJ|2007|Melroch}} or <nowiki>{{Abandoned|&lt;BPJ&gt;|&lt;2007&gt;}}</nowiki> {{Abandoned|BPJ|2007}} [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 04:24, 5 January 2007 (PST)</noinclude> File:Eresphria physical.jpg 3707 18103 2007-01-05T15:21:49Z Denihilonihil 119 Twisspraak Wordlist 3708 18108 2007-01-05T18:56:38Z Tupinikin 100 ===A=== '''al''' ''pron'' all (cf. ned.

Dal'qörian preposition word order 3710 46744 2009-07-01T00:17:51Z Rivendale 279 [[dal'qörian|Homepage]] [[dal'qörian prepositions|back to Dalcurian prepositions]] In Dalcurian, a ''prepositional object'', be it a ''pronoun, real noun'' or a ''non tangible noun'' (like a thought, feeling or expression), 'always immediately follows' a nominative pronoun or noun in the subject position (except when the pronoun or noun is followed by a modal or auxiliary verb, in which case it follows the modal or auxiliary). Dalcurian ears are very sensitive to this syntactic rule and is always (somewhat reluctantly) corrected: * '''Ména, máriÞ érenöra, görøria'''. ''We're going out with them''. lit: ''We, with them, are going out''. * '''Diö nöacr, qiöcra séÞa, icaÞr ela'''. ''You can take everything except for these''. lit: ''You can, except for these, take all''. However, when a sentence or clause has more than one prepositional word/phrase (pph for short), there is a 'general' word order according to whether the phrase contains: Adverbs of time-these go first.<BR/>Pronouns, people names-these go second.<BR/>Nouns, thoughts, ideas-these go third<BR/>Places, areas, direction-these go last. '''Example 1:''' * '''Lintöni 18S, binä nébaræ, máriÞ Garé ön Séan, eÞöaquálö'''. ''I’ll be out until 6pm with Gary and Sean''. lit: ''Until 6 pm, I will be, with Gary and Sean, somewhere''. Although the pph ''until 6'' is not technically an ''adverb of time'', it goes first in word order because it 'denotes' time; the pph ''with Gary and Sean'' goes second in word order because it contains real names. '''Example 2:''' * '''Lintöni 18S, binä nébaræ, máriÞ Garé ön Séan, andri animatáj'''. ''I’ll be at the cinema with Gary and Sean until 6pm''. This sentence contains three prepositional phrases: ''until 6'' (time), ''with Gary and Sean'' (real names), and ''at the cinema'' (place). In the sentence: In sentences consisting of more than one clause, be it a ''subordinate'' or ''coordinate'' clause, word order resumes for each separate clause: * '''Diö nöacr, näø 18S, raför binöra, yil,, qösra binä nébaræ, lintöni nes, máriÞ Gary ön Sean, eÞöaquálö.''' lit: ''Can you, after 6pm, call me, because I’ll be, until then, with Gary and Séan''. Note 1: The above rule, as said, is more of a general rule, not a syntactically strict. It's similar the the '' Time, Manner, Place'' rule in German. NOTE 2: Due to prepositional word order, it's not possible in Dalcurian to end a sentence with a preposition, unlike English. For example: * ''That's the house I live in''. In Dalcurian, this would be: * '''TaÞ di abödä,, vömä binä habitr.''' ''That's the house where I live.'' * '''Binä, ''am taÞ abödä'', habitr.''' ''I live '''in that house'''''. Dal'qörian prepositions alternative uses 3711 46745 2009-07-01T01:07:16Z Rivendale 279 __TOC__ [[dal'qörian|Homepage]] [[dal'qörian prepositions|back to Dalcurian prepositions]] =='''te'''-''to''== In Dalcurian, the preposition '''te''' is not used in infinite phrases (to walk, to sleep etc) except when equating an English gerund (see [[dal'qörian nouns|Nouns]]). It is only used with nouns or pronouns. The ''definite'' and ''indefinite articles'' '''ni/di'''-''a/the'' are not used with '''te'''; it already means ''to, to the'' or ''towards'' depending on the context of the sentence: * '''Binä, ''te qaféj'', göria qoÞ'''. ''I’m just going '''to the shop'''''. =='''néfaracte'''== Usually meaning ''contrary to'', this is also used in ''tag questions'' where in English, one would say: ''isn’t it/wasn’t it/weren’t they/aren’t you'' etc, though it MUST go at the end of a sentence. It then translates as loosely as ''not true'', similar to the German ''nicht wahr'': * '''TaÞ mosödrämös gé'éagöra, néfaracte?''' ''That was a good film, wasn’t it?'' * '''Binä, máriÞ séÞa, tädø, néfaracte?''' ''I’m tired of this, aren’t you?'' '''Néfaracte''' cannot be placed at the beginning of a sentence where, in English, one puts the tag question first in questions of uncertainty: * ''Aren’t you the man off the tv?'' * ''Isn’t it the 7 o’clock train we’re supposed to be catching?'' Again, '''néfaracte''' must go last (normally with a rising voice intonation): * '''Diö di sáj, vön di televizian, néfaracte?''' ''Aren’t you the man off the tv?'' If you say: * '''Néfaracte di sáj, vön di televizian?''' then this translates as: ''Contrary to the man from the tv''. '''Néfaracte''' can also be used to contradict a statement, much like the German word ''doch'': * '''Diö ábrax eÞöa nömæaj, yil?''' '''Néfaracte!''' ** ''Haven't you any money?'' ''Yes'' (I do/on the contrary) '''Néfaracte nál''' is a commonly used interjection that equates to something like ''really! honestly! well I never!'' etc: * '''Mæ döbátr,, taÞ mæ nöacr didér senta bréjel,, ön tirigör stæcemést'''. '''Néfaracte nál?''' ''He claims that he can drink ten pints (of beer) without getting drunk. Honestly! Really! If you really want to disagree with a statement, you can say: '''néfaracte qoÞ'''-''yeah right/whatever'' =='''qöri''' vs '''dörac'''-''through''== It is important to know the differences between these two prepositions. '''dörac''' means ''through'' as in ''direction, time'' or ''motion'' and also means ''during'': * '''Ména mösár, dörac dörÞ, gör'''. ''We have to go through there''. * '''Sia gä’ságr,, taÞ sia, dörac di qömbla, raföræ diöra'''. ''She said she’d phone you during the week''. '''Qöri''' means ''through'' as in ''because of/as a result of'': * '''Di vitihærádn, qöri stæmeÞodicrlámn, gä’ábrapädr stötsérämös'''. ''The government has lost support through inefficiency''. Here’s an example of where both prepositions might come together: * '''''Qöri'' di dostébrostnämös qve mæöra, minäla, ''dörac'' di qömbla, sä mæ gä’spélögr quacrialbájan, gä’ádravisör mæöra,, bratsva mæ, giráte vägámn, gä’Þalárax andri ábæÞabödä.''' ** '''''Through''' his own stupidity, he was seen '''through''' the week playing football, even though he was supposed to be off work sick''. lit: ''As a result of his own stupidity, they, through the week, as he played football, saw him, even though he, due to illness, resided not at work.'' =='''näø''' vs '''retfac'''== Like '''qöri''' and '''dörac''', these also have slightly different uses. '''näø''' is used when something has 'finished'. However, it can also be used as a conjunction if it is followed by a subject and verb, in which case it does NOT follow prepositional word order: * '''Diö nöacr, näø taÞ, görør'''. ''You can go out after that.'' but: * '''Diö nöacr görør,, näø diö gä’ábrastæabetár'''. ''You can go out after you have finished''. * '''Binä vaquiræ ni etári,, näø séÞa inpöträmös qve t'vizian gä’ábrastæabetár'''. ''I’ll make a cup of tea after/when this programme has finished.'' '''Retfac''' is used to with ''movement/motion'', and is also used colloquially to mean ''behind'': * '''Göros retfac di beröj qve diöra,, ön ságr te mæ,, taÞ mæ solegasas mösár nöreÞár!''' ''Go after your brother and tell him to come back immediately!'' * '''Binä gé’patiquálö,, taÞ sia, retfac binöra, gä’Þalár¿''' ''I was sure she was behind me.'' =='''qve'''== This is the only preposition in the Dalcurian language that does not adhere to preposition word order. In fact, '''qve''' is almost exclusively used only in possesive constructions: * '''DanöÞ di beröj qve binöra'''. ''There’s my brother''. lit: ''There is the brother of me''. * '''Di ábæødöraj dis t'vizian näocr, am træpindij, brát tirigör¿''' ''The TV manual might still be in the box''. lit: ''The instruction manual of the television could, in the box, still remain''. ---- Here are somemore examples to study: * '''Binä, viténi di lamæasncoj, gä’Þalgér ''di nömæcalblánij qve binöra'''''. ''I hid '''my money box''' above the cupboard.'' * '''''Dörac di ninÞi'', éren, máriÞ mæöra, gä’tirigör,, brát éren, telemná 9 ön 10S, gä’angör'''. ''They stayed with him '''through the night''' but they left between 9 and 10am.'' * '''Binä, øatni di øaräj, gä’stelanér esti di sacéj qve binöra; quavéna tiÞ gä’ábradöbéÞr nöra!'''

The sect had existed previously however, it had been largely marginalized, especially outside of southeastern Lescealh. ==Early History== Little is known concerning its earliest history, other than it was central to the worship of Poleasc, the traditional representative of traders and human culture in the [[Faraneit | Faraneih]] pantheon. It is assumed to have originated in the southwestern Lescealh before its importation to the southeast, as there is compelling evidence of Hareih dominance. ==Southwestern Lescealh Prior to the Polizeih== Prior to and during the earlier years of the dominance of the Polizeih in the Southwest, a distinct social structure, contrary to any other portion of Lescealh, existed. In the southwest, there were few large settlements, and the population lived almost exclusively in rural areas. The main area of Lescealh was also highly rural, but instead of the smaller isolated farmers, a village system, with many specialist artisans, had developed, largely because there was adequate soil fertility and rainfall to support it, unlike the less favorable southwest. The southeast, on the other hand, was situated at a significantly higher altitude, although not above the snow line, and therefore recieved an even higher rainfall, leading to disastrous social consequences. The higher rainfall resulted in the adoption of a simplistic class system, which quickly eroded into serfdom for the less fortunate. Although the southeast had the most agricutlural wealth, its people were among the poorest in Lescealh as the elites profited heavily from the stratified system. The lack of divisive racial or religious distinctions between the classes maintained the illusions the elite sought to propogate: that there was a natural division of labor between the classes and that there was no inequity. ==The Middle Class== While the southwest was comprized of essentially only a lower class, the main core of Lescealh housed a prosperous middle class of successful farmers, various artisans, and merchants. For the most part, the socio-economic classes were fluid and movement between them was common, if not expected. Conversely, the southwest was trapped in a highly entrenched series of classes, although an emerging middle class of merchants did alter the order significantly. It is beleived that this middle class adopted the Polizeih faith from its contacts with the southeastern Polizeih, whose land they frequently travelled across, while transporting goods to and from the further east Measceineafh and Etimri, and inner Lescealh. It is estimated that by 6500 AC the Polizeih had become synonymous with the southeast merchant class. ==The Lower Class== Conversion of the lower class of peasant farmers progressed much more slowly, as (particularly closer to central Lescealh) they clung to their Hareih roots more firmly. Conversions were made, nonetheless, and the lower class was heavily converted in the southernmost locales of the region, where only the elite remained Hareih. They conserved their religion, as it became increasingly associated with wealth, because the Polizeih cult became synonymous with poverty or the middle class. ==Famines and Revolution== Although converted in faith, the lower classes remained loyal to their Hareih lords, mainly because of the ubiquitous message from the elite of their work on behalf of the peasants, as well as social inertia. The Middle Class, however, harbored more tensions against the elite, particularly as trade and the economy declined during the 6600's, which are remembered in Lescealh as the "lean years." The slowdown of the trade routes is largely blamed on drought in Lescealh and through out [[Lheinead]]. Additionally, this period seems to coincide with the peak of overpopulation in Lescealh. While poverty did increase across the region, it swallowed the southeast. In the other regions, their drier springs permitted a later bean harvest, which in turn led to the widespread adoption of more complex crop rotation systems, which increased the populations ceiling. The higher elevation of the southeast led only to a colder and wetter winter, which did not aid the bean harvests and thus led to widespread famine. The Middle Class largely mobilized the lower classes to revolt, forming the Council of Poleasc, which proclaimed the elite were "foreign Hareih, who steal our crops" (in the Proclamation of Keref, 6632). Armed revolt quickly resulted, spurring the flight of Hareih of all classes from most of the southeast. A large section of the southeast, mainly in its east, remained stable, although precarious. The Middle Class denounced this region and justified its strict controls over the peasantry as security codes required to prevent an invasion from the neighboring regions. After the establishment of the Council of Poleasc as the ruling body of the region, it and several hundred religous leaders called sessions in 6640 to determine a more detailed account of Polizeih doctrine. ==Doctrines== Because, for the most part, the legends involving the Faraneih pantheon have been orally passed down, the restrictions on preachers were aimed more at the version and its content than a specific written form. Several varieties of Hakeih myths, in which Poleasc rapes his wife, were heavily censored out of existance in the southeast. For the most part, however, the various legends were not changed, and interpretations, as long as they did not contradict the laws passed by the pseudo-religious Council of Poleasc, which "Poleasc selected to rule", were freely permitted for the time being. ==Becoming a Seperate Culture== Tensions between the various non-Polizeih states of Lescealh and the Polizeih heightened through out the later 6600's. Militarization and rigid internal control along certain parameters became dominant policies in the devestated society. Each of the council's proclamations contained atleast one allusion to foreign aggression or internal betrayal. In the more populous regions, the number of convicted and executed traitors (tried by local magistrating bodies that often competed for convictions) exceeded the number of women dead from child birth (which routinely hovered around one of every five women). Questioning policy was an attack on policy. Fear was the morter of the society. With the Defense Proclamation of 6680, the Council of Poleasc essentially drafted one out of every two men into the military, which was used to seize trading caravans in the northeastern prairies. (Initially the non-Polizeih protested, as this drastically cut Heideiveiz importation, but as local Heideiveiz production became established protest faded). This high draft rate differed greatly from the rest of Lescealh, where warriors never exceeded a fifth of the population. Interestingly enough, one fourth of all female Polizeih were also drafted, but this unprecedented movement towards sexual equality was in fact detrimental to women's causes. ==The Army, Women, Viels, and Sex== The usage of women in the army was an unpopular policy, but a highly profitable one as it prevented the Council from requiring all males to enlist, and thereby clogging soceity. Nonetheless, female soldiers were held to much stricter standards, in an army of very high standards. Out of fear that they would become pregnant, and thereby a burden and a useless soldier, female soldiers were not allowed to take part in heterosexual sex of any kind, as anal sex was seen as highly taboo by the Faranih, and vaginal and other forms of sex were viewed as destined to end in pregnancy. While homosexual sexual activity was initially supported as a form of increasing group unity, it eventually was viewed as a negative, along with all sex, in fact. Troops denied sexual activity were believed to be more aggressive and useful to the Polizeih, leading to an army-wide ban on all sexual behavior. As underground sexual behavior, and pregnancies began to emerge, a desperate Council forced all females to wear as much coverings as possible, the beginning of a larger societal and religious policy. In civilian life, the wearing of a hair shawl or other coverings became associated with female army members, who had returned to their husbands intact. As it became a popular symbol of both purity (of a virginal sort) and patriotism, civilian women increasingly adopted coverings, only for it to become unacceptable for women to not wear coverings by 6700. ==Prostitution or Second Marriage?== In 6732, the Council of Poleasc discreetly passed, lest it admit an error, a series of proclamations which stripped women of the right to bear arms or take part in conflict. Over the past few decades, the heavily used army had seen various near rebellions from small groups of sexually frustrated soldiers, and hoping to use the current system to correct this difficulty, they changed the female soldiers into state-sponsored whores. Various military compounds were "reformed" so as to house the state's prostitutes seperately, so that they could be used on fatigued or victorious units as either a stimulant or a reward. After a fifth of the Polizeih forces were eradicated from venerial diseases during the early 6700's, the Council modified their position and assigned enlisted men two (or in rare cases three) different "wives" who were located in different compounds, allowing the system to permit the soldiers to be given sex at various stations but maintaining a rigid barrier to prevent epidemics. The male soldiers' numbers were reduced to fit this, while the state's former prostitutes were dramatically increased. It is believed that a complex system of using women for multiple men was implemented to maintain peace in a male-dominated army, but there is much uncertainty into the sexual paradigm. This system eventually evolved into a fully developed system of polygyny reserved for the elite and soldiers, as a class benefit and a reward for serving in the military. But this system was more than influential in allowing the establishment of pivotal settlements between Malaba and their base in Lescealh. It has been theorized that the higher mortality rates for males, who filled the ranks of the army, might have balanced the unequal marriage ratio, but this has yet to be explicitly proven. ==Into Malaba== As the population of Lescealh climbed up to a precarious threshold once more during the early 6800's, an unspoken agreement between the various sects and states in Lescealh was reached. The plot was to drive the hostile and trade-detrimental Polizeih out of Lescealh and use the land as overflow for the excess population. On cue, raids along the borders exploded exponentially and miltant hostility resumed with full force around southeast Lescealh. After the massacre of 6807, in which an entire Polizeih border town was burnt to the ground by murderous Hareih, the Council of Poleasc denounced Lescealh as "heathen" and called for a "pilgrimage with arms to Malaba" which was carried out judiciously. The prairie bases worked as detention centers, or rather stops along the pilgrimage as the civilian population flooded out from southeast Lescealh. The army quickly conquered the region of Malaba called Dhikapa and slaughtered some 20% percent of its inhabitants directly, while atleast 30% of the original population succumbed to a sudden epidemic, which may or may not have been a venerial disease introduced by the Polizeih. After installing itself in southwestern Malaba, the Polizeih quickly adopted an even further theocratic government as many members of the Council of Poleasc lavishly paid off the assitant clerics to maintain order while their treasuries grew off the slave labor of the Malaba survivors and the poor Polizeih, who lived little better. ==Post-Conquest== After conquest the Polizeih quickly grew into a productive empire, which attempted an invasion of Lescealh. This indirectly caused the developement of the Harapah, which later embroiled the Polizeih in a second large war campaign, which led to the conquest of various unaligned city-states including the infamous Heajaz. A bloody guerrilla war ensued and the Polizeih were cast out. Ultimately, this failed invasion had an unintended massive impact, as it created the Heajareifh state, which would foster a new political and religious order in Lescealh after the collapse of the Harapah. A period of enormous instability followed, as the Harapah government expelled Hareih and Hakeih cultists and waged a genocidal war against the Leaveazeih and Hameit whose populations had already been dramatically reduced during the second Polizeih conquest attempt. For Poleisah, the Polizeih theocracy's capital, guerrilla warfare from and among the Malaba insurgents, perpetuated by the Northern Malaba territories, periodically crippled basic roads and wore the infrastructure precariously close to a breaking point. ==Abuda== The province of Abuda, within Polizeih-controlled Malaba, quickly developed a syncretic subculture, and eventually developed into a haven for Polizeih-Malaba half-breeds, who were considered monstrous throughout most of Polizeih-controlled Malaba. Abuda eventually developed a separate religious and ethnic affiliation (despite constant inward immigration) from both its Malaba and Polizeih neighbors, in both cases a mixture of the two groups and their ideas, primarily in the upper classes (the lower classes remained overwhelmingly Malaba). This much more moderate social and political climate proved superior to the typical Polizeih model, as Abuda's Polizeih infused middle class outlasted the other Polizeih institutions, which were crushed in the great Malaba uprisings of 7320. ==Collapse== After being removed from Lescealh, internal problems consumed the Polizeih as deforestation crippled their agricultural yeilds and led to widespread erosion. In 7320, the Malaba who had remained peripheral to their conquered region occupied the failed nation and then proceeded to slaughter the Polizeih. The Harapah and crusading Hareih eradicated the straggling Polizeih settlements as they spread out onto the eastern plain, during the "Tumultuous Era" according to Kang-Eur and Hloterb legend. ==The Tumultuous Era 7350-7500== During this brief period, a number of cultures expanded their spheres of influence into the eastern steppe. While Polizeih refuges fled into the region, various Malaban raiders followed them. Furthermore, the Hareih exile into the region added a second theocratic subculture into the region, complicating the various conflicts as the Hareih and Polizeih attempted to massacre one another, while the Malaban groups attacked both. Additionally, the Harapah consistently marched into the center of the region, while decimating all populations in its path. This policy aimed to prevent the instability in the region from boiling over, back to Lescealh, or threatening northern trade routes. While the raids certainly accomplished this, locally, they created immense resentment for the Harapah and augmented the genocidal situation. Furthermore, these invasive conflicts entered a region already filled with strife, as the Kang-Eur villagers and Hloterb bands engaged in a less volatile but still quite violent war. Fueling this conflict, and compounding the others, the region experienced extreme drought throughout this era. The Kang-Eur had attempted to expand their cultivated fields to offset their losses, but only sparked conflict with the hunter-gatherers, notably the Hloterb. Ultimately, both groups were greatly ruined during the period, however, as first their conflict, and then foreign aggression and counter-conflicts devastated the region. Ironically, a good porportion of precipitation during this era was delivered in flooding, also causing chaos. After the 7500, however, the Polizeih had nearly been completely exterminated and the Hareih presence was nearly nonexistant. Malaba raiders found the local populations of Kang-Eur and Hloterb not profitable enough to warrant the expeditions and thereby ceased. With the region quieting into population decline, the Harapah aggression became a frivolous waste and also stopped. Relations between the Hloterb and Kang-Eur, unfortunately, remained bloody, but much less so than during the Tumultuous Era. Droughts continued to force a deterioration of their relations and the biological health of the region. ==Polizeih Renaissance== In 7614, one settlement of Polizeih remained with only a few thousand members. Under the military leadership of Lak the First, however, the Polizeih managed to conquer a small section of the Southern Malaba Reconstituted Empire and rebuild a pale imitation of their earlier theocracy within a year. Intensely outnumbered, the Polizeih finally adapted to the clear limitations of their position and began accepting Malaba converts and treating them with a level of respect previously unthinkable within Polizeih thought and rare for the Faraneit as a whole. Outside of the military, it was decreed that Polizeih men could take second wives of Malaba descent, revolutionizing racial and sexual politics. The extreme, authoritarian orderliness of the Polizeih state satisfied their conquered region, which had been so easily conquered because of widespread protest of Malaba rule and general apathy of the citizens. The Polizeih began expanding their domain, leading to the Madj population (of primarily Faraneit descent) learning of the reinstatement of the Polizeih as a ruling class in at least a part of their former empire. Ideological children of the Heajareifh, the Amdj population had been raised on stories of the deadly never-ending threat of the Polizeih, leading hundreds to kill themselves and in some cases their children when the news of the reconquest arrived. In a blind rage, their urged the Malaba military to immediately attack the Polizeih at their new capital of Ina. The Malaba's main reaction was to ignore the Amdj, but ultimately, both groups would pay the price for their actions. The Madj cult's violent talk provoked the Polizeih at Ina into a violent generation-long conflict between Amdj-controlled Malaba and Lak the Fourth into the early reign of Lak the Fifth, both of the Polizeih Dynasty of Ina. Contemporaneously, the Malaba regions were faced by a small but well-trained dynastic split-off, the Polizeih Dynasty of Tali under the command of Evano the first, who installed his son Evano the second as the emperor of Malaba, which the Malaba population didn't object to, as the emperor is a position with little real power, at least originally. The Polizeih very quietly expanded the reach of the emperor's power. ==The Wars of 7781== The Polizeih Dynasty of Ina under Laba the first and the Polizeih Dynasty of Tali under Tadem the second collaborated on a joint attack against the Amdj-controlled districts, springing their trap in 7781. This war utterly destroyed the illusion that the whole of Malaba had of the Polizeih emperor's alleged impotency, leading to a massive Malaba uprising that destroyed the Polizeih Dynasty of Tali. Isolated without the Tali-based Polizeih, the Dynasty of Ina first bartered for peace with the Amdj, then resorted to guerrilla warfare against the coalition launched against them, which occupied the area surrounding Ina for the following decades. In the end, only the Abuda line of Polizeih survived this war, because of their neutrality. ==Common Themes== The defining theme of Polizeih culture is fear. Fear of being outcast from the society has maintained loyalty within it from more than five centuries. Fear of other nations conquering them while Poleasc laughed at them, because they were not worth saving, paralyzed their early history, and led to a militant society. Fear of pregnancy led to the coverings. Fear of labelling as unsupportive and lascivous led to civilian use of coverings. Fear was the operating mechanism of their culture, and led to widespread manipulation from the Upper Class. The fanaticism and the devotion of the culture, however, was easily accepted by the Harapah and used against them, during the campaign for the extermination of the Polizeih. Their own fear was their downfall.

[http://ilieska.pbwiki.com Ilieskapédia]''' '''The Islysian language''' (''ir kälvi Iliesken'' or ''ilieski'', IPA: [ɪli'ɛski]) is spoken by nearly all of Islysia's population of ~10 million; by small ethnic-Islysian communities in neighbouring countries such as Sweden, Finland, Poland, and the Baltic Rim; and by small emigrant communities in the Anglophone countries. The Islysian language is considered an Indo-European isolate. Much loaned vocabulary can be traced to Finnic, Baltic, Germanic, Slavic, and even Romance languages&mdash;for example, "poika" ''boy'' from Finnish; "arbat" ''tea'' from Lithuanian; "kamping" from English; and "dešöné" ''lunch'' from French. There are several dialects of Islysian. While they are all mutually intelligible (except, perhaps, among the very elderly, who tend to retain antiquidated forms of speech), this article will focus on the spoken form of the Western Islysian (''Vísilieski'') dialect. This dialect, originating in the metropolitan areas of Islys and the Tälia Sound, is the most widespread dialect, spoken by approximately 60% of the Islysian-speaking population. Western Islysian is ''de facto'' accepted as the standard form of the language. ==Iterekisna - Introduction== ===Ir istoria ir kälven Iliesken - The history of the Islysian language=== It is commonly accepted by the linguistic community that, while heavily influenced (particularly in phonology and morphology) by neighbouring Baltic and Finnic languages, the Islysian language evolved separately from Proto-Indo-European. A few very close relatives have been partially attested, but if they were indeed separate languages, all were extinct and superceded by Islysian by about the fifth century AD. The Islysians, outside of their loose linguistic unity, lacked a stong sense of identity beyond the tribal level until they began regular contact with the Suiones and the Rus' in the 8th century AD. In Islysian, the term Islys refers only to the region of the same name (specifically, the valley of Hythalia and the southeastern part of the the Visia peninsula), while Ilieska refers to the country as a whole. The exonym Islysia was first used by the Suiones, who sailed southeast into the narrow and rocky (but strikingly beautiful) Tälia Sound early in the 8th century. There they were met by a tribe of fishermen and simple farmers who called themselves ''Islyn''. The Norse settlers, however, applied the name "Islysian" to ''all'' of the tribes who spoke what they referred to as the "whispered tongue" (likely due to the language's propensity for unvoiced consonants). A travelling Anglian scholar wrote circa 850:<blockquote>"Those who the Vikings call Isliskingar, are the same sea-faring race the Fenni [Finns] call the Green-Eyed People... They are friendlier and more civilised than their neighbours the Balts, but their language is esoteric and they are reluctant to renounce their heathen ways."</blockquote> Little is known about Islysia or the Islysian language over the next few centuries, except what was reported by foreign historians: apparently the kingdom was more or less Christianised by the 11th century, and extended its territory deep into what is now Lithuania, Poland, and Belarus in the 13th century. The first written text in Islysian was the Code of Laws of Prince Iliem II, written in the 1340s, but literacy remained low (particularly in remote rural areas) for many centuries. In the middle of the 15th century, the Cyrillic alphabet briefly gained prominence in Islysia, likely due to the influence of Eastern Orthodoxy. During the 16th century, some important literary works on religious thought were published in Islysian, illustrating the intense debate in the country about the validity of the Reformation&mdash;these works were highlighted, even in their own time, by the heated open correspondence between the Archbishop of Islys and an unknown Humanist scholar using the pseudonym "Illyrius." Ensuing throughout the first half of the 1560s, this literary tirade was the most popular entertainment in the capital of Hythalinna (IL: ''Haiþalinna''), with many popular plays (both comic and tragic) written about the Archbishop and Illyrius. It has been speculated that the contrast between the harsh, vitriolic tones of the Archbishop's letters and the logical yet witty musings in Illyrius's letters helped to swing the populace towards a favourable view of the Reformation. Finally, King Andiri IV standardised the [[#Ir alfabet - The alphabet|Islysian orthography]] in 1573. What followed was a period now known as the Islysian Renaissance, or the Islysian Golden Age: an explosion of artistic and literary works by various scholars and artists whose erudition helped to establish Islysian as a major literary and intellectual language in the region. The University of Hythalinna became one of the most prolific centres for Humanist thought in Central Europe. A complete copy of the New Testament in the Islysian language was first issued in 1578. Based on Martin Luther's 1534 translation into German, this book would prove integral in establishing the Protesant Church of Islysia as the religious power in the kingdom. The Islysian language suffered a decline in prominence beginning in the 18th century, as the sphere of influence of the Russian Tsars extended to the Baltic. For a time, the Islysian language was actually banned in politics and education, but the underground literary movements were surprisingly resilient. After the Russian Revolution, Islysian once again became official. After World War I, Islysia struggled&mdash;and succeeded&mdash;in an effort to remain free of the Soviet Union, and the Islysians' love for their language was critical to the success of this movement. ==Lantevaidaslys - Phonology== Islysian, long influenced by its North Germanic and Finnic neighbours, exhibits a rich vowel inventory which includes 13 monophthongs, 10 diphthongs, and one triphthong, in contrast with a relatively small consonant inventory. ===Vokálet - Vowels=== '''Short''': /a ɛ i ɔ ʉ/ &lt;a e i o u&gt; <br /> '''Long''': /ɑ: e: i: o: u:/ &lt;á é í ó ú&gt;<br /> '''"Neutral"''' (considered short, but with no long equivalents): /æ ø ɪ/ &lt;ä ö y&gt; /a/ represents a sound that is actually closer to central [ä], and for purposes of allophony it will be referred to as a back vowel. '''Diphthongs (pure)''':<br /> /ae ai au/ &lt;ae ai au&gt;<br /> /æe æi æy/ &lt;äe äi äu&gt;<br /> /ɛi ɛu ea ei eɔ eu/ &lt;ei eu ea éi eo éu&gt;<br /> /ɔi ɔa ɔu/ &lt;oi oa ou&gt;<br /> /øi øæ øy/ &lt;öi öä öu&gt; '''Diphthongs (semivowel types)''':<br /> /i.a i.ɛ i.ɔ i.ʉ/ or [ja jɛ jɔ jʉ] &lt;ia ie io iu&gt;<br /> /ua uɛ uɔ/ or [wa wɛ wɔ] &lt;ua ue uo&gt;<br /> /ɥi ɥæ ɥø/ &lt;ui uä uö&gt; The lonely '''triphthong''':<br /> /iai/ or [i.ai jai] &lt;iai&gt; All diphthongs may occur word-initially, but many (notably ''ui'', ''ou'', and ''uo'') rarely or never do. Historically, initial ''ui'' has become ''u'' (uili > uli, ''totally, completely''), ''ou'' to ''ú'' (ouden > úden, ''nothing'') and ''uo'' to ''ó'' (uonissa > ónissa, ''to dream''). ===Soklasinet - Consonants=== Stops: /pʰ tʰ kʰ b d g/ &lt;p t k b d g&gt;<br /> Fricatives: /f θ s ʃ z ɦ ç/ &lt;f þ s š z h hj&gt;<br /> Approximants: /ʋ j l/ &lt;v j l&gt;<br /> Trills: /r/ &lt;r&gt;<br /> Nasals: /m n/ &lt;m n&gt; Islysian distinguishes consonant length. Long (geminate) consonants are written doubled, and they may only occur medially:<br /> : hala /"ɦala/ vs. halla /"ɦal:a/ ===Sanalantasli mainai - Allophony=== The most regular rules are:<br /> - /r/ [ʁ] before a consonant<br /> - /r/ [ɾ] intervocalically<br /> - /r/ [r_0] after /p t k/<br /> - /n/ [ŋ] before /k/ (or /g/ in loan words)<br /> - The aspirated stops /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ lose their aspiration following a consonant<br /> - /g/ and /j/ are both [ʝ] before a front vowel. In diphthongs, an initial front vowel may be elided: Belgia (Belgium) is /"bɛlʝa/.<br /> - /ɦ/ [x] before a consonant<br /> - /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ [pʲ tʲ kʲ] before a front vowel<br /> - /b d g/ [ʋ ð ɰ] intervocalically<br /> - /b d g/ [v ð ɣ] before a consonant<br /> - /i/ [ɪ] in an unstressed syllable before an approximant or geminate consonant<br /> - /ɛu/ [ɛf] word-initially: euforia /ɛf:"ɔɾia/, eugenika /ɛf"ʝɛnika/ Islysian does not employ any sort of linking or external sandhi. Thus "ir sa" is /ir sa/ not /iʁ sa/. Very common words and phrases are replete with contractions in spoken Islysian. For example, the relative clause "saka za" ''that, which'' is ['saksa]; "ja en, se en, isse en" ''I am, you are, he is'' are /jan sɛn is:ɛn/. More informally, an initial unstressed /ɛ/ is often elided: this is most often heard in the case of the demonstrative pronoun "eta" ''this/it (is)'', which is very commonly elided to 'ta. In extreme cases, sentences such as "eta enka erda en ejou eli illa?" ''is this narrow table sufficient or not?'' may be heard as ''tankardan júlilla?'' However, it would not be likely to hear someone speaking in such an exaggerated manner except for effect. ===Skeuti rakoini - Syllable structure=== Islysian syllable structure is basically (C)(C)(C)V(C). Acceptable initial clusters are: <br /> 2 consonants:<br /> - /s/ or /ʃ/ + unvoiced stop, approximant, or nasal<br /> - unvoiced stop + /r/ or [r_0]; /p k/ + /l/<br /> 3 consonants:<br /> - /s/ + unvoiced stop + [r_0]<br /> No final clusters are allowed. In loan words, Islysian uses the epenthetic vowel /i/ to break up illegal consonant clusters: <br /> : "hästi" ''horse'' /"hæsti/, ultimately from Swedish ''häst'' ===Starkaslys - Stress=== In the interests of not making this any longer than it already is, I'll just say that depending on the number of syllables in the word and the structure of those syllables, stress is almost always on either the first or second syllable (second-syllable stress only in words of 3+ syllables). The most notable exception is that words ending in the extremely common suffix -slys ("-tion", "-ment", "state or process of doing/becoming something", &c.) have stress on the penultimate syllable. ==Kursa ilieskis - Writing in Islysian== ===Ir alfabet - The alphabet=== Islysian is written with a modified Latin alphabet. The first written text in Islysian was the Code of Laws of Prince Iliem II, written in the 1340s. However, the Teutonic missionaries who introduced literacy failed to create an orthography specially designed for the language (they were probably in a hurry to get to heathen Lithuania), which is apparent by the wide spelling variations of the period: <ä> was interchangeable with <e>, and <ö> with &lt;u&gt;. /∫/ was variously written as <sz sj sch ch cj>. <k> and <c> were interchangeable, as were <v> and <w>. Above all, it seemed that every writer came up with his own realisation of /θ/. Islysian spelling was finally standardised by King Andiri IV in 1573. His orthography is basically what is in use today (though the language underwent a major spelling reform in 1913). Andiri, a scholar of languages, imported the thorn (Islysian letter þa) from England and the S-caron (Islysian letter še) from Bohemia. The modern Islysian alphabet has 26 letters: 8 vowels and 18 consonants. Collation order is as follows: <font size=4><center>A Ä B D E F G H I J K L M N O Ö P R S Š T Þ U V Y Z</center></font> ====Vilainet kursatyllet - Non-native letters==== The following letters are not considered part of the Islysian alphabet as they do not occur naturally in the Islysian language. They are only found in loan words, foreign names, and technical jargon (eg, "www.") c - /k/ before a back vowel or finally; /ts/ before a front vowel - Colombia /kɔ"lɔmbi.a/; centennial /tsɛn."tɛn:i.al/<br> q - /k/ - qurán /kʉ"ɾɑn/<br> w - /v/ or /ʋ/ - Wallenberg /"ʋal:ɛn.bɛʁk/<br> x - /ks/ before a back vowel or finally; /∫/ before a front vowel - faxa /"faksa/ ''(to fax)''; xylofon /"∫ɪlɔfɔn/<br> ====Divikursuret - Digraphs==== Besides the diphthongs described in the section on Phonology, the only digraph in the modern Islysian orthography is <hj>, which is pronounced /ç/. This phoneme is relatively new to Islysian, having spawned from the previous cluster /hj/ only within the last two centuries. It most frequently occurs word-initially, and is almost never found word-finally except in a few colloquialisms, such as "ihj" [ɪç] - which is equivalent to either "ouch!" or "oy vey!" ====Kiesai kursajöruret - Alternate realisations==== In situations (eg. typewriters, keyboard, www addresses, etc) in which typing Islysian letters such as Še and Þa (the thorn) would be difficult or impossible the following realisations are acceptable: ä - ay<br> ö - oy<br> š - sj<br> þ - tj<br> Additionally, acute-accented long vowels may simply be written doubled - each long-short contrast may have numerous minimal pairs, which could possibly cause serious confusion. Digraphs are not considered separate letters of the Islysian alphabet. In alternate realisations, however, the two letters are treated as though they were the proper Islysian monograph: eg. "tjaysti" (þästi) ''often'' would nominally be sorted after, for example, "tyrsi" ''dry''. ===Suresaslys jau akruonimet - Capitalisation and acronyms=== Capitalisation is absolutely regular. Only the first letter of a sentence and the first letter of a proper noun are capitalised. Often the genitive form of a proper noun functions as an adjective (see the second example below) and these are capitalised. Common adjectives and common nouns drived from proper nouns are not capitalised.<br> :Ilieska (p.n.) ''Islysia''<br> :Iliesken (p.adj.)''Islysian'' (lit. "of Islysia")<br> :ilieski (c.n.) ''the Islysian language''<br> Acronyms are written with the capitalised first letter of each component word, and any following letters from the same word are lowercase. There is no punctuation between letters of an acronym. Acronyms which are themselves loan terms are not usually translated.<br> :ITv (Iliesken Televizia, Islysian Television) /i:te:"ʋe:/<br> :IVA (Itenörjus valstíbet Ameriken, United States of America) /i:ʋe:"ɑ:/<br> :UNProFor (UNPROFOR, United Nations Protection Force) /ʉn.pr_0ɔ"fɔr/ ===Kursahaftaslys - Punctuation=== Formatting for full stops, commas, colons, exclamation/question marks, etc. is the same as in English&mdash;that is, no space after the preceding word. Inverted commas are used to show emphasis of strength which, in speech, would be indicated by the speaker's tone of voice.<br> :Illa, 'Kören' en meun isen. 'Kären' en mahan naina. ''No, KÖREN is my son. KÄREN is my wife.'' Outward-pointing double angle quotes (without internal spacing) indicate speech. No comma is used to offset quotes. If the quotation includes the end of a sentence, the full stop goes inside the quotes, otherwise they go outside.<br> :Se vardun «siras iši.» You said, "I like cheese."<br> :Vót «kótet jau kienet jau tréša». There are "cats and dogs and a rabbit." However, for ongoing dialogue, such as in narrative storytelling (which is always written in the present tense), em-dashes are preferred. To show the cutoff point of the dialogue where the sentence does not end, a colon is used.<br> &mdash;Saka? ja roti. ''"What?" I ask.''<br> &mdash;Ö, ja vardu saka za idera skollis : isse varde. ''"Uh, I said I have to go to school," he says.'' Indentation is not used in written Islysian, except for nesting lists. Double-spacing indicates a new paragraph, but blocks of dialogue use only single spacing. ===Ir kun alfabeti - The alphabet song=== Islysian children learn an "alphabet song" which is sung to the same tune as the English alphabet song: <center>Á ä be de jé ef ga,<br>Ha í ja ka el-äm-än-ó-ö,<br>Pe är äs, še te þa, ú vé ipsilon zéta<br>Ir alfabetas jussi, jazo stas nén klósoli?</center> The last line translates to: "I know the alphabet, isn't that lovely?" ==Sanarakoinaslys - Morphology== ===Tuisli satslys - Basic syntax=== Islysian is an inflecting language following a typically Indo-European nominative-accusative morphosyntactic alignment. Nouns inflect for number and case. There are two numbers in Islysian, singular and plural. There are four cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, and a simple locative (which often fulfills the function of dative). There are two genders in Islysian: masculine and feminine. There is no neutral gender. Masculine nouns have four possible declensions, feminine nouns only one. Personal pronouns inflect for three persons (first, second, third) and two numbers (singular and plural). Personal pronouns feature nominative, accusative, and locative forms. The genitive actually has three forms (masculine, feminine, and a gender-neutral plural) which agree in gender and number with the noun they indicate possession of and therefore also function as simple possessives. Adjectives inflect for number, gender, and case, and must agree in all three respects with the noun they modify. Unlike nouns, however, adjectives only have one plural form, which is indifferent to gender. The adjective comes before the noun. Verbs inflect for tense, person, number, and mood, and they must agree with the subject. Islysian verbs have five tenses: present, past, present perfect, future, and future perfect (historically there was a past perfect tense, but since narrative storytelling is done in the present tense, it is no longer used). There is a conditional mood and a subjunctive mood, both of which can be used with all five tenses&mdash;thus to answer the question "idan?" will you go? the answer "ja idellai nem ja arverai" ''I would will go, but I have to will work'' is grammatically acceptable. Finally, there is a passive voice, and naturally only transitive verbs have passive forms. For adverbs, no agreement of person, number, etc. is necessary. Most adjectives can be made into adverbs by adding the suffix -(e)þai. ====Sanet ortaslys - Word order==== Islysian word order is basically SOV.<br> : Ja sa kirje sívi. ''I read the book''. There are cases in which SVO word order is acceptable. The most notable case is when using the copula "eissa" ''to be''.<br> : Vai on Iliesken. ''We are Islysian''.<br> : Sonic Youth en iten met fáston öraslon. ''Sonic Youth is one of my favourite bands''.<br> Note that ''eissa'', "to be," is not considered transitive in Islysian. The indirect object (usually in locative case) comes after the verb.<br> : Sto kita '''mis'''! ''Give '''me''' that!''<br> : Vai kienas krainek '''sis'''. ''We're buying '''you''' a dog.'' Because of the Islysian language's inflecting nature, in casual everday speech, subject pronouns are often dropped from simple sentences:<br> : (ja) Ir poikas irs'''i'''. '''''I''''' ''see the boy.''<br> : (vai) Sa linniai id'''ek'''. '''''We''''' ''are going to the city.''<br> : (se) Pénte ist'''en'''. '''''You''''' ''are right''. (lit. "you have reason/logic")<br> In some cases the subject pronoun is absolutely necessary. For example, "krainu" could mean ''I bought, he bought, she bought,'' or ''it bought.'' Adjectives come before the noun they modify.<br> : Ir sieni poike ''The little boy''<br> : Sa siena kirja ''The little book''<br> : Ir sienai jallet ''The little rooms' Adverbs come after the verb they modify, and no agreement of person, number, etc. is necessary. Most adjectives can be made into adverbs by adding the suffix -(e)þai.<br> : Nu tuisse leteneþai. ''She sighs sadly.''<br> : Ja vardu tisteþai Ilas keu. ''I talked quietly with Ili.''<br> : Idas fauseþai skollis. ''They slowly walk to school.'' Adpositional phrases take the order Time Manner Place. : Ihát idi metris sa syslinniai. ''Today I am going in the metro to the city centre.'' ====Artikelet - Articles==== Islysian has two definite articles: "ir" for masculine singular and plural, and "sa" for feminine singular and plural. There is no indefinite article, though it is not uncommon to specify using "iten," the number one (ex. "Ja kótas isti" ''I have a cat'' versus "ja itas kótas isti" ''I just have one cat''). As in languages such as French and Arabic, the definite article is used when describing abstract concepts (eg. "ir ei en sei" ''life is good''; "ir politík mén interiesse" ''I am interested in politics''). It is not used, however, when describing general concepts of tangible objects (eg. "kafas iši" ''I like coffee'', "politet lukas" ''politicians lie''). If it is used, it implies that you are describing a particular item or set (eg. "ir kafas iši" would imply something like ''I like this particular blend of coffee'' or ''I like the coffee at this café''; "ir politet lukas" would mean ''these particular politicians lie''). ====Izeraninaslys vilainet sanet - Assimilation of loan words==== Loan words in Islysian can be divided into two categories: "recent" loan words, and "Islysianised" loan words, which have been more or less completely assimilated into the Islysian language. An example of the former is "ir week-end," directly from English. To the Islysian ear, such loan words sound distinctly "foreign," so older speakers and linguistic purists will tend to use an older, fully Islysian phrase such as "sa soima veikisti," lit. ''the end of the week''. If and when this loan word is assimilated, it would undergo conformity to the Islysian phonology and orthography, including paragoge (typically of I), since Islysian does not allow final consonant clusters. Since all loan words in Islysian are inherently masculine, regardless of their native gender or function, we could therefore expect "week-end" to Islysianise to "ir vikendi." An example of the latter is "laina," ''land'', which is a very old Germanic borrowing and cognate with Swedish ''län'' and English ''land". ===Ivenavniket - Pronouns=== ====Aninai ivenavniket - Personal pronouns==== <center> {|border="1" bordercolor="#dedede" cellpadding="2" ! &nbsp; || Nom. || Acc. || Dat. || Loc. || Gen/Poss. (m/f/pl) |- |I|| ja|| mén|| miai || mis|| meun/mahan/met |- |we|| vai || mu||meam || vas || mun/muen/mut |- |you(s)|| se || sén||su || sis|| sin/sina/sinet |- |you(p)|| anai || anai|| anam || niai ||anän/ahan/anet |- |he || isse || han || hannu || hanis ||isän/issa/isset |- |she || nu || hana ||hanni || haniai|| hanän/hänna/hanet |- |one|| an || on || onu ||onsi || onän/ona/onet |- |they|| isai/nöi|| ište || ištam || ištiai|| išten/ištai/ištet |} </center> Note that unlike many European languages, Islysian lacks T-V distinction: the second person is divided only by singular and plural, not formal and informal. Everybody is addressed as "se," from young children up to the King and even God during prayer. ====Roturai jau ninessulai ivenavniket - Interrogative and relative pronouns==== Below are the interrogative pronouns. The indented sections below them are words which may be used to answer questions posed by these pronouns. saka - what/which<br> : eta - this one : stas - that one : saka za... - which / that... kie - who<br> : isse - he : nö - she : an kie za... - the one who... kini - whose<br> : meun - mine : isän - his : išten - theirs : kini za - his/hers who... kis - to whom<br> : mis - to me : hanis - to him : haniai - to her : kis za - to he/she who... iþe - where<br> : iþ - here : na - there : aisa - everywhere : iþe za... - where... kyta - whither<br> : von - to here : já - to there : kyta za... to the place where... veuna - whence<br> : isli - from here : stia - from there : veuna za... - from the place where... jat - why<br> : tak - because : jat za... - [that's] why... jakin - when<br> : sada - now : zát - then : vén - later : jakin za... - when... kaþ - how<br> : nin eta - like this : nin stas - like that : kaþ za... - in the manner that... kalli - how much, how many<br> : nén ejou - not enough : tal - a few, a little : ejou - enough : naš - much, many : nar - too much, too many : kalli za... - as much/many as... daste - what kind, what like : stas en nin... - it's like... : daste za... - the kind that... To form relative clauses, insert the particle "za" after the interrogative pronoun.<br> : Jakin vaden? ''When are you coming?''<br> : Vizieva mis '''jakin za''' vaden. '''''When''''' ''you come, call me.''<br> : Stas en ir auto daste za Ili (sto) iste. ''That's the kind of car that Ili has.''<br> : Stas en '''jat za''' ja nén vizievu sis. ''That's'' '''''why''''' ''I didn't call you.'' If you put the interrogative pronoun at the end of the sentence or phrase, it implies that you already know something but have just forgotten.<br> : Isse hjallá kaþ? ''What's his name again?'' (lit. "he is called how?") Interrogative pronouns are also used to set aside clauses.<br> : Mis vike '''saka za''' eta ir melialän. ''I think'' '''''that''''' ''it's the best one.''<br> : (Mis vike - "to me it seems." In informal writing, the whole phrase is usually abbreviated ''mvsz.'')<br> : Se vardun '''saka za''' stas u klósoli. ''You said'' '''''that''''' ''it was beautiful.'' Note that the phrase "saka za" is, in everyday speech, pronounced ["saksa]. ====Ivenavnikon elíslys - Pronoun dropping==== As Islysian is an inflecting language, it has some pro-drop features. If a nominative personal pronoun is the subject, it is usually dropped.<br> : (ja) Ir kotas irsi ''I see the cat'' : (isse/nu) Sto iše ''He/she like it'' : (vai) Ištet koté išek ''We like their cats'' : (ja) Sén irsi ''I see you'' : (isse/nu) Mén iše? ''Does he/she like me?'' ===Substantivet - Nouns=== Masculine nouns have four declensions, feminine nouns have two. The declension of a noun can be determined by the final letters in the nominative singular ("default") form.<br> : '''Declension I''': masculine nouns ending in a front vowel (ä, e, é, i, í, ö, y)<br> : '''Declension II''': masculine nouns ending in a back vowel (a, á, o, ó, u, ú)<br> : '''Declension III''': masculine nouns ending in a consonant<br> : '''Declension IV''': masculine nouns ending in -as or -slys<br> : '''Declension V''': feminine nouns ending in -a<br> : '''Declension VI''': feminine nouns ending in -is ====Kassas - Case==== There are five simple cases in Islysian. : '''Nominative''': The default, unmarked form of the noun is used for the subject of a phrase. : '''Accusative''': For the direct object of a transitive phrase. : '''Genitive''': Used to express possession, origin, or motion away from. Can also function as a partitive. : '''Dative''': Used for the indirect object of a ditransitive phrase. : '''Locative''': Used to express static location or motion towards. ====Javati - Gender==== Islysian has two genders: masculine (myskati) and feminine (naini). All nouns are either masculine or feminine&mdash;there is no neutral gender. Gender is random, other than obvious inherent sexuality of animate nouns ("sa naina," ''the woman''; "ir poike," ''the boy'') and the fact that loan words are inherently masculine, regardless of their meaning in the original language. Feminine nouns can only end in the letter -a (or its long form -á), but the converse is not necessarily true: notable exceptions include "ir sa," ''the sea'', "ir televizia" ''television'', and "ir vaika," ''the child''. The grammatical gender of an animate noun corresponds to the noun's natural gender&mdash;however there is no distinct indication of whether a noun is animate or not (with very few exceptions, only nouns describing people or animals are animate). For such nouns, there is almost always one noun for each gender: for example, a male doctor is a ''toktori'', while a female doctor is a ''toktora''. If the gender of the doctor is unknown or is semantically irrelevant (eg. "Help! I need a doctor!") the masculine form is default. For some animate nouns, the only change is in the article: "ir agna" is a male ox, "sa agna" is a female ox. Groups of mixed gender are also described as masculine&mdash;therefore a ''toktori'' and a ''toktora'' would collectively be ''toktoret'', not ''toktorai''. ====Isuovaraslys - Declension==== [[Image:Islysian-newdeclension.jpg]] ===Adiektivet - Adjectives=== ====Ir filosofi adiektivon - The philosophy of adjectives==== The most important thing, when describing something in normal conversation, is not to convey the most accurate description of a thing, but to convey the holistic feeling or perception of a thing. In other words, the qualitative takes precedence over the quantitative. For instance, an Islysian would not hesitate to describe a certain shop as "that noisy green shop" or a soft day as "a tired, drippy sky." Perhaps this could explain the popularity of Björk in Islysia. ====Adiektivon satslys - Syntax of adjectives==== Adjectives come before the noun they modify. They must agree with the noun in terms of number and case, but unlike nouns adjectives are indifferent to gender in the plural number. Thus an adjective of regular declension has fifteen possible forms. <center>''klósoli = lovely, beautiful''<br> {|border="1" bordercolor="#dedede" cellpadding="2" ! &nbsp; || masc. s. || fem. s. || plur. |- |nom.|| klósoli || klósola || klósolai |- |acc.|| klósolas|| klósole || klosolé |- |gen.|| klósolen|| klósolen|| klósolon |- |dat.|| klósolai|| klósoli||klósolam |- |loc.|| klósolis|| klósoliai ||klósoliai |} </center> ====Partisippellet - Participles==== Verb participles that function as adjectives can be formed by adding the clitic ''-ppa''. Participles inflect just the same as any regular adjective. : Vardappa kien? Ihj, soi ja baitykju nar. ''A'' '''''talking''''' ''dog? Ugh, perhaps I've had too much to drink.'' ====Adiektivon ortaslys - Adjective order==== Islysian has no real preference as to adjective order: "sienai krönai virai" ''little green men'' and "krönai sienai virai" ''green little men'' are semantically no different and are both acceptable in Islysian, whereas the latter would sound awkward in English. ====Nyjé adiektivé þuolla - Forming new adjectives==== Islysian has several affixes that can be added to common nouns to easily create new adjectives. These work similarly to English un-, -ful, etc. and are described below. <center> {|border="1" bordercolor="#dedede" cellpadding="2" ! Affix || Description || Original || Derivation || Translation |- |divi-|| dual, bi- || sonesa || divisonesa || vowel > diphthong |- |iter-|| single, uni- || isna || iterekisna || chapter, section > introduction, summary |- | -(a)llini|| -like, -ish|| kien|| kienallini || dog > dog-like ("extremely loyal") |- | -(i)haj|| un-, -less|| vasna ||vasnahaj || value > worthless |- | -tava|| -able|| hitta || hittatava || to believe > believable, credible |- | -ppa|| -ing (participle) || siþa || siþappa || to swim > swimming (as an adjective) |} </center> ===Saradet - Verbs=== A student of Islysian will notice that while most grammatical terms are clearly Germanic borrowings (substantivi = noun; adiektivi = adjective), the word "saradi," ''verb'', is seemingly unique. This can be blamed on Reformation-era grammarians: they were reluctant to use "verbi" because this word bore a passing resemblance to an Izjö dialect colloquialism meaning "demon," and stake-burning was particularly in vogue under the overzealous Archbishop of Hythalinna. The wary grammarians, therefore, used the word "saradi," a very old word that once meant "action" or "choice." Most of the rest of the history of Islysian linguistics, however, is not nearly as tongue-in-cheek. ====Koniugaslys - Conjugation==== Islysian verbs conjugate for person, number, and tense. There are five: present, simple past, simple future, present perfect, and future perfect. Historically there was a past perfect, but since narrative storytelling is now told in the present tense, it is obsolete. There is also a subjunctive mood and a conditional mood, which can be used with all five tenses. Finally, there is a passive voice, which is only used with transitive verbs. There is only one form of conjugation for regular verbs. The infinitive is -a. Simple present conjugation for regular verbs is as follows: *Ja: -i *Se: -en *Isse/nu/an/eta/stas: -e *Anai: -et *Vai: -ek *Isai/nui/etai/stai: -as Below are all of the forms of conjugation for a regular verb (iša, ''to like, to enjoy'') and an irregular verb (eissa, ''to be'').<br>&nbsp;<br> <center> {|border="1" bordercolor="#dedede" cellpadding="2" !

I like X but not Y.<br> : Nei X nei Y iši. I like neither X nor Y.<br> : X iši én Y. I like X, and Y as well.<br> : Ja nén nem X iši én Y. I like not only X, but Y as well.<br> : X isti da Y istai. I have X, therefore I'll have Y.<br> : X iši tak Y. I like X because of Y.<br> : X istai da Y istellai. I'll have X so that I'll be able to have Y.<br> : X iši tašia Y en gössi. I like X even though Y is dreadful.<br> : X iši tašia Y en sei. I like X, although Y is nice. ==Navnet - Names== ===Navnon kajar - The culture of names=== Titles such as Mr, Mrs, Dr, etc. are not used&mdash;everybody in Islysia, regardless of age or social standing, is on a first-name basis. The exception here is members of the royal family and the nobility, who should always be adressed with the title Adel (men) or Adella (women). This custom is rooted in the old Nordic tradition of purely patronymic surnames. Islysians abandoned this custom around 1700. Today, most surnames are bynames: eg. Kören Ihalainen, literally Kören of Ihalia; Iliana Haiþalainen, literally Iliana of Hythalia. Surnames are passed from parents to their children, and names are rarely changed. Some modern names are derived from patronymics; such families are often descended from cultures in which this practise is or was prominent&mdash;notably Chancellor Isobel Nikoli. Many Islysian surnames bear a striking similarity to Finnish surnames; this, however, is mostly coincidence. The common suffix -lainen is simply the singular genitive form of the feminine noun "laina," ''land'', which is a very old Germanic borrowing (which has been Islysianised and therefore is no longer masculine) and a cognate with Swedish ''län'' and English ''land''. "Hollainen," therefore, means simply ''Hollander''. These names are not inflected like ordinary nouns: the Ihalainens are "ir familí Ihalainen," not "ir familí Ihalainon" or "ir Ihalainet." ===Siennavnet - Nicknames=== Nicknames are usually derived from the first part of the given name, and are used on a very informal basis. Unlike feminine nouns, feminine given names and nicknames do not necessarily end in -a or -á.

They are usually divided into the following categories: {| border="1" |+ |- | '''Personal pronouns''' | I, you, he, she |- | '''Reflexive pronouns''' | himself, themselves, ourselves |- | '''Demonstrative pronouns''' | that, those, this |- | '''Possessive pronouns''' | mine, yours, his, hers |- | '''Relative pronouns''' | that, which, who |- | '''Interrogative pronouns''' | who?, when?, what? |- | '''Reciprocal Pronouns''' | each other, one another |- | '''Indefinite pronouns''' | some, few, a little |} ==Personal pronouns== Personal pronouns refer to people or things. This saves repetitive use of a noun. ==='''Nominative (subject) pronouns'''=== The Dalcurian ''nominative'' personal pronouns (the subject of the sentence or clause) are: {| border="1" |+ |- | '''binä | ''I/I am'' |- | '''diö''' | ''you/you are'' |- | '''mæ''' | ''he/he is'' |- | '''sia''' | ''she/she is'' |- | '''éren''' | ''they/they are'' |- | '''tiÞ''' | ''it/it is'' |- | '''ména''' | ''we/we are'' |} There are also two impersonal pronouns: '''minä'''-''you/one'' and '''minäla'''-''they'', and these are used when referring to people in general, the subjunctive mood, and to equate the use of the English (passive tense (see '''Verbs'''): * '''Am iáda, minä näocr nörasägrax Dal'qörian!''' ''One cannot learn Dalcurian in a day! * '''Minäla gä’escanostr di abödä,, qösra tiÞ gé’stæméras'''. ''The house was demolished because it was dangerous.'' (lit: ''They demolished the house, because it was unsafe''). As you can see, the subject pronouns can also carry the present tense inflections of the verb to be: ''am, are, is''. In Dalcurian, one can assume that ''am/are/is'' can always be taken as read when a noun or pronoun is: * Followed by a present participle (a verb with the '''ia''' inflection) * Followed by an 'uninflected' adjective (including modifying words such as ''very/extremely'') ''am/are/is'' are not to be taken as read when a noun or pronoun is: * Followed by a modal verb (see '''Verbs-''Modals''''') * Followed by the infinitive *Followed by the imperfect and perfect past tense *Followed by an inflected adjective examples: * '''Binä göria nöra'''. ''I '''am''' going now.'' * '''Di gadörajel tädø'''. ''The dogs '''are''' tired.'' * '''Dörac iáda, ména gä’vecsár!''' ''We argued all day!'' * '''Öcra tirimiÞ, sia gé’námaroqu disiri'''. ''She was very depressed for a long time.'' * '''Iáda, Garé recévria ni Bemöa'''. ''Gary '''is''' getting a BMW today.'' * '''Stæ’irønet, vonéri sol, eviár binä abödä'''. ''I rarely get home before 6.'' * '''Éren voltir ni didérämös'''. ''They want a drink.'' ==='''Accusative (direct object) pronouns'''=== The ''accusative'' pronoun is the 'object' of the sentence or the thing that is affected by the action of the verb: * I asked '''him'''. * She gave '''her''' the book. * They told '''us''' to go-away! Dalcurian accusative (or objective) pronouns inflect to show this, but nouns do not: {| border="1" |+ |- | '''binöra''' | ''me/myself'' |- | '''diöra''' | ''you/yourself'' |- | '''mæöra''' | ''him/himself'' |- | '''siöra''' | ''her/herself'' |- | '''érenöra''' | ''them/themselves'' |- | '''tiÞöra''' | ''it/itself'' |- | '''ménöra''' | ''us/ourselves'' |} ==='''Dative (indirect object) pronouns'''=== The Dalcurian dative simply puts the preposition '''te'''-''to'' before a nominative pronoun (or noun) as a 'non-static' prefix (prefixes that attach with a high apostrophe). This then means the phrase must follow prepositional word order wherever necessary: * '''Binä, te'sia, gä’andöcr di lalégraj'''. ''I gave her the book/I gave the book to her''. Lit: ''I, to she, gave the book''. * '''Sia, te'binä, gä’ädandöcr'''. ''She gave it back to me/She gave me it back''. Lit: ''She, to me, returned it''. ==='''Dummy pronoun ''it'''''=== The dummy pronoun '''it''' is used in English as follows: * '''It''' is raining, '''it''' isn't fair '''it''' in this instance doesn't really refer to anything or an object, but is used to make the sentence grammatical. In Dalcurian, '''tiÞ''' is never used as a dummy pronoun; the adverb '''danöÞ''' idiomatically replaces this: * '''DanöÞ danpöria'''. ''It's raining''. * '''DanöÞ morgér,, taÞ ela qoÞ'''. ''It seems that all is ok''. ==Reflexive pronouns== Reflexive pronouns reflect the 'action' of a verb back to the subject or, rarely, the object of a sentence. Dalcurian reflexive pronouns are identical to the accusative. Word order denotes whether an accusative pronoun is truly objective, or whether it is reflexive. If the accusative pronoun is in the subject position, then it's reflexive and will always be followed by a verb: * '''Mæöra qlasédria'''. ''He is washing himself''. Lit: ''Himself (is) washing/himself washes''. * '''Iádas, érenöra déatäør'''. ''They dress themselves every day''. Lit: ''Daily, themselves dress''. * '''Ädas, mæöra scalaÞr'''. ''He shaves every morning''. Lit: ''Mornings, himself shaves''. However, with a real noun, a reflexive pronoun is still required: * '''Ädas, Mæcal scalaÞr mæöra'''. ''Michael shaves every morning'''. Lit: ''Mornings, Michael himself shaves''. Ommiting the reflexive pronoun leaves the sentence incomplete: * '''Ädas, Mæcal scalaÞr'''. Lit: ''Mornings, Michael shaves'' [shaves what?] Reflexive pronouns are also used in sentences such as: * '''Siöra nöacr lenandrax'''. ''She can’t help herself''. Lit: ''Herself can help not''. and in sentences where, in English, we use the phrase ''on ones own'' meaning ''by myself/herself'' etc: * '''Diöra mösár görax!''' ''You mustn't go on your own/by yourself!'' Lit: ''Yourself must go not''. * '''Binöra nöacr maquirax siÞ'''. ''I can't do it on my own''. Lit: ''Myself can do not this''. * '''Diöra maquirax taÞ!''' ''You mustn’t do that by yourself!'' Lit: ''Yourself does not that!''. The general rule is: where no other person or object is acted upon by the action of the verb, use the reflexive pronoun. ==Possesive pronouns & adjectives== Possessive pronouns are words like: ''mine, yours, his, hers'' etc and possessive adjectives ''my, your, our'' etc. Typically, possessive pronouns don't require an object whereas the adjectives do. They show possession or ''to whom'' or ''what'' something belongs. However, in Dalcurian, there are no ''possessive pronouns/adjectives''. There are three ways in which Dalcurian possession is given. For other forms, such as Genitives, see [[Dal'qörian Cases|Case]] '''Possession'''. Showing possession in Dalcurian is very simple. The equivalent of possessive adjectives and nouns is formed with the preposition '''qve'''-''of'' and an ''accusative'' pronoun (or noun): * '''TaÞ di bréj qve binöra'''. ''That’s my pint'' Lit: ''That is the pint of me''. * '''TiÞ di reliaÞ qve diöra'''. ''It’s your turn''. Lit: ''It's the turn of you''. * '''Éren gä’ságr,, taÞ di läbendéj qve mæöra ænÞalas gä’lafildr'''. ''They said his heart just gave up''. Lit: ''They said, that the heart of him simply gave up''. * '''TaÞ di vötöj qve binöra'''. ''That’s my car''. Lit: ''That is the car of me''. ---- With reference to possessive pronouns, this cannot be literally translated in Dalcurian: * Is that book ''hers''? No, its ''mine''. * Whose is this chocolate? It’s ''his/hers/ours/theirs''. * Whom does this jacket belong to? It's ''Frank's''. Sentences such as the above are typically styled as: ''Who '''belongs with''' (+ object)''. * '''Vehiri?, máséÞa vötöj, gehör'''. ''Whose is this car?'' Lit: ''Who, with this car, belongs?''. ** '''Binä, mátiÞ, gehör'''. ''It’s mine/it belongs to me''. Lit: ''I, with it, belong''. * '''TaÞ di gletéäjel qve diöra, néfaracte'''? ''Is that your jewellery?'' ** '''Nál, sia, mátiÞ, gehör'''. ''No, it’s hers''. Lit: ''No, she, with it, belongs''. Key words you will typically see here are: '''máriÞ'''-''with'', '''mátiÞ'''-''with it'', '''mátaÞ'''-''with that'', '''másiÞ'''-''with this'', '''máséÞa'''-''with these'', '''másáÞ'''-''with those''-all of which are contractions of '''máriÞ''' + the demonstrative pronouns. Where there is an ''adjectival comparison'', the object being compared must be present: * Ours is bigger than yours! (for example, talking about ''houses''): * '''Di abödä qve ménöra te’giÞrö nas di abædä qve diöra!''' ''Our house is bigger than your house!'' Lit: ''The house of us is bigger than the house of you!'' Alternitavely, (and more commonly), '''nataÞ'''-''than that'' or '''n'taÞ''' when written (a contraction of '''nas'''+'''taÞ''') will be used as follows: * '''Di abödä qve ménöra te’giÞrö ''n'taÞ'' qve diöra!''' Lit: ''The house of us is bigger '''than that''' of you''!. ==Demonstrative pronouns== '''This; that; these; those; none''' and '''neither''' are demonstrative pronouns that substitute nouns when the nouns they replace can be understood from the context. They also indicate whether they are replacing singular or plural words and give the location of the object: '''siÞ'''-''This'': singular and near the speaker '''taÞ'''-''That'': singular and at a distance from the speaker '''séÞa'''-''These'': plural and near the speaker '''sáÞ'''-''Those'': plural and at a distance from the speaker '''nálöa'''-''neither'' '''nönä'''-''none'' * '''Äda'yéras, ména gä'namör siÞ'''. ''We bought this last year''. * '''Diö icaÞr séÞa sacéjel,, ön binä icaÞræ sáÞ'''. ''You take these bags and I'll take those''. * '''Binä iqurquas esti taÞ vötöj!''' ''I'd really like that car!'' * '''Minäla, te'binä, gä'andöcr 2 pescöbrämös; nálöa önestárädn'''. ''I've been given 2 perscriptions; neither is correct''. * '''Vitamørämös? qve möj voltir diö. Nönä.''' ''How much meat do you want? None.'' NOTE: '''taÞ''' is also a relative pronoun and a subordinate conjunction which is set off buy a single comma and a double comma respectively: * '''Di sáj, ''taÞ'' ädiáda gä'Þalár dérÞ, di parenöj qve binöra.''' ''The man '''who''' was here yesterday is my father''. * '''Binä qönér,, ''taÞ'' diö æanasiaÞáli.''' ''I think '''that''' you are beautiful''. ==Interrogative Pronouns== Interrogative pronouns are those such as: ''who, what, which, where, why'' and ''how'': * '''vehiri''' ''who'' * '''vitrö''' ''what'' * '''véca''' ''which'' * '''væl''' ''where'' * '''várö''' ''why'' * '''vöes''' ''how'' When used in an interrogative sense, a question mark is place AFTER the pronoun: * '''Vitrö? gä'ságr mæ.''' ''What did he say?'' * '''Væl? göria diö.''' ''Where are you going?'' These can also act as conjunctions: * '''Binä qenárax,, vöes tiÞ dérÞ vädenár'''. ''I don't know how it got here''. * '''Sia qenár,, væl mæ habitr.''' ''She knows where he lives''. However, if the conjunction is part of a question, then it is still followed with a question mark: * '''Sia qenár,, ''væl?'' mæ habitr, yil.''' ''Does she know '''where''' he lives?'' '''NOTE:''' The pronoun '''vehiri''' is not used to introduce a relative clause, eg: ''the man '''who''' was here is my father''. See '''taÞ''' in the [[dal'qörian demonstrative pronouns|demonstrative pronouns section]]. ==Indefinate Pronouns== Indefinite pronouns are words which replace nouns without specifying which noun they replace: * ''all/everything'' '''ela''' * ''another'' '''aÞéna''' * ''any'' '''éano''' * ''anyone/anybody'' '''éanörasáb''' * ''anything'' '''éanöÞa''' * ''both'' '''déba''' * ''each/every'' '''yetra''' * ''either'' '''yilöa''' * ''everyone/everybody'' '''yetrabödn''' * ''few'' '''niäni''' * ''little'' '''nitörieÞ''' * ''many'' '''véla''' * ''much'' '''vélas''' (for ''more, most'', see [[dal'qörian adjectives|Adjectives]]) * ''neither'' '''nálöa''' * ''no-one/nobody'' '''nabödn''' * ''nothing'' '''döqu''' * ''other'' '''andä''' * ''others'' '''andel''' * ''several'' '''levárel''' * ''some'' '''émø''' * ''someone/somebody'' '''émøbödn''' * ''something'' '''eÞöa''' ==Relative Pronouns== Relative pronouns introduce a relative clause. Commonly, ''that, who, which, whose'' and ''whom'' introduce relative clauses: * ''The man '''who''' was here yesterday is my father''. * ''She has a dog '''that''' barks loudly.'' * ''The house '''which''' we lived in was demolished''. * ''That person, '''whom''' I know very well, is not to be trusted.'' * ''I don't know '''whose''' car this is''. With the exeption of ''whose'' [[Dal'qörian Cases|see Cases]], relative clauses in Dalcurian are introduced with '''taÞ''', which equates to ''who, that, which'' or ''whom'' directly. The basic rule is: if you can replace a relative pronoun with ''that'' (as you can in the 1st 4 examples above), then '''taÞ''' is used: * '''Di sáj, ''taÞ'' ädiáda gä’Þalár dérÞ, di parenöj qve binöra.''' ''The man '''who''' was here yesterday is my father''. * '''Sia ábra ni gadöraj, ''taÞ'' qurehendøni vafr.''' ''She has a dog '''that''' barks loudly''. * '''Minäla gä'escanostr di abödä, ''taÞ'' ména gä'habitr.''' ''The house '''which''' we lived in was demolished''. With ''whom'', if the pronoun refers to the object of the main clause, '''taÞ''' can be used: * '''TaÞ nörasáb, taÞ binä éagöras qenár, stæcenámeni.''' ''That person, '''whom''' I know very well, is not to be trusted.'' If the object is an indirect object, then add '''te''' to '''taÞ''': * '''Di sáj, tetaÞ binä gä'andöcr ni lalégraj, di qömpal qve binöra.''' ''The man whom I gave a book is my friend.'' '''Punctuation note''': Ordinarily, '''taÞ''' when introducing a subordinate clause is preceeded by a double comma; only a single comma precedes when introducing a relative clause. A good tip here is to see if '''taÞ''' can be replaced by any of the other relative pronouns and still make sense, if not then use a double comma. '''NOTE''': The relative pronoun is NEVER omitted in Dalcurian, as it can be in English: * ''The man who was here yesterday... The man here yesterday...'' ==Reciprocal Pronouns== We use reciprocal pronouns to indicate that two people can carry out an action and get the consequences of that action at the same time. There are two reciprocal pronouns: * ''each other'' * ''one another'' Dalcurian equates these with '''ænanda''': * '''Ména gä'qösár ænanda'''. ''We kissed each other''. * '''Binä, sä éren gä'qonvetár ænanda, gä'alhör'''. ''I was listening as they talked to one another''. ---- '''NOTE''': Sometimes the pronoun can be ommitted if it's understood in context: '''Bratsva mæ di beröj qve binöra,, quriandø binä vecsendr (him)!''' ''Even though he’s my brother, I hate him sometimes!''

The colours seem a bit muted, but I like it that way. Shivrashanian Chan 3727 41256 2008-12-27T08:18:03Z Christina 18 The '''Shivrashanian [[Chan]]''' is the currency of [[Shivrashan]]. It is pegged to the [[Imperial Chan]] at the rate of 1 Shivrashanian chan = {{frac|2|3}} Imperial chan. It is subdivided into 10 ''vezh'', 100 ''zash'', or 1000 ''vi'', though only chan and zash are commonly used in giving prices. The term vezh remains in use on coins. Originally, Shivrashan used the same non-decimal division as the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Empire]] and had the same value. However, the currency was decimalized in 768 by introducing a new chan worth 10 vezh (that is, {{frac|2|3}} old chan) and a new zash worth {{frac|1|10}} vezh. Initially, the smallest coin was the ''vi'', i.e., {{frac|1|10}} zash, with Vi, 2-vi, and ½-zash coins circulating. During the changeover, the old ¼-zash, ½-zash, and zash coins were, respectively, valued at 2, 4, and 8 vi. The ½-zash and zash coins were quickly removed from circulation, but the old ¼-zash continued circulating. Likewise, the old 3- and 6-zash coins circulated alongside the new ¼- and ½-vezh coins, and the old vezh and 3-vezh remained unchanged. A ½-chan coin was introduced at the time of the changeover, but introduction of the ¼-chan was delayed. The old denomination of 3 vezh remained in production even after the introduction of the ¼-chan, and attempts to remove the 3-vezh have proven unpopular. The ¼-chan sees little circulation. Imperial coins in the denominations of ½ zash up to 3 vezh are sometimes found in circulation, as these are all either of equal value to circulating Shivrashanian coins or, in the case of the ½- and 1-zash coins, very close (properly speaking, 1 Imperial zash is {{frac|5|6}} Shivrashanian zash, but that difference is generally ignored, being miniscule). Tourist shops will often accept Imperial banknotes as well, at the rate of 1 Imperial chan = 1½ chan. == Coins == *½ Zash *Zash *2½ zash (¼ Vezh) *5 zash (½ Vezh) *10 zash (1 Vezh) *25 zash (¼ Chan) (uncommon) *30 zash (3 Vezh) *50 zash (½ Chan) == Banknotes == *Chan *2½ Chan *5 Chan *10 Chan *25 Chan [[Category:Galhafan Currencies]] [[Category:Shivrashan]] Category:Galhafan Currencies 3728 18521 2007-01-13T10:38:13Z Christina 18 [[Category:Economics]] [[Category:Galhaf]] Senjecan heraldry 3729 44688 2009-04-15T16:34:44Z Caeruleancentaur 11 # It is the birthright of every individual to bear a sign (<font color=blue>têvos</font>) as well as a name that distinguishes him or her from other individuals. # Upon the birth of the subject, the governing body of the pertinent loquent people, in consultation with the parents, determines the charge (<font color=blue>ſiþſêrgos</font>) to be assigned to the individual. # In the heraldry of the speakers of Senjecas this sign pertains solely to the individual and does not proclaim descent. # The following [[wikipedia:tincture (heraldry)|colors]] are permitted in Senjecan heraldry: red (<font color=blue>rûûðis</font>), orange (<font color=blue>vlêêris</font>), yellow (<font color=blue>bâdis</font>), green (<font color=blue>ðâlis</font>), blue (<font color=blue>môðris</font>), purple (<font color=blue>vîſкis</font>), black (<font color=blue>ſŭôrdis</font>) and white (<font color=blue>âlis</font>).

language's inflectionary nature, [[Classical Arithide]] nouns, pronouns and certain of its adjectives must be declined (i.e. inflected) to provide grammatical meaning. A group of words that decline in the same way is known as a "declension class". There are 5 declension classes for nouns and the same for adjectives; pronouns are generally irregular. ==Declension classes== Nouns in [[Classical Arithide]] are classed into different declensions based on their semantic meaning. This lexically based categorisation means that each declension class represents a broad group of nouns that share a certain characteristic. Traditional grammatical analysis takes the number of declension classes in Classical Arithide to be five, on top of which are various subgroups that decline in slightly different ways from the parent class. '''Declension I''', with the characteristic nominative singular ending ''-os'', is the most productive declension class of all. It is associated with morally and emotionally neutral abstractions: states (''valonos'' "peace"), qualities (''fyginthos'' "dangerousness"), acts (''leatos'' "act of worship") as well as other types of concepts (''sonos'' "daily life"). As may be noted the supine verbal noun (i.e. "the act of doing something") also falls under this declension. '''Declension II''' nouns take the ending ''-as'' and refer to places: ''kitaras'' "hall", ''sivas'' "town", ''leatas'' "place of worship. The verbal noun of location (i.e. "the place where something is done") falls under declension II. '''Declension III''' nouns take the ending ''-ir'', and can be differentiated into classes III-a with simple ''-ir'', and III-b with ''-rir''. This declension comprises nouns with negative moral or emotional denotations or connotations: ''vokir'' "evil", ''kirir'' "faux pas", ''kreisantir'' "grief of bereavement". '''Declension IV''' is the most general declension class. Its nouns have no characteristic nominative singular ending but instead shares it with declension V (''-a''), and its lexical scope is practically unlimited; Class-IV nouns can refer to items, animals, plants or any other non-human, non-divine object. E.g. ''arotha'' "carpet", ''hegra'' "vine", ''izia'' "coin". '''Declension V''' comprises nouns referring to the human, the divine or the socio-cultural aspect of life: ''thelera'' "neighbour", ''venera'' "deity", ''kunera'' "currency". Complex historical reasons have given Class V nouns the double nominative ending of ''-era'', the final part of which (''-a'') is shared with Class IV. There is a subgroup, V-b, whose nominative singulars end in ''-on'' but otherwise decline identically with regular Class-V nouns: these are the special agentive nouns (see next section), generally formed from verbs but occasionally found fossilised elsewhere in words belonging to other parts of speech. These five declension classes can be broadly classified into two categories: concrete nouns (IV, V) and abstract nouns (I, II, III). ===Distinction between ''-thera'' and ''-on''=== Both the nominative singular endings ''-thera'' (V-a) and ''-on'' (V-b) indicate people, or agents. While in surviving Classical Arithide texts only the latter seemed to be sufficiently lexemic to be productive (as the agentive noun suffix, for one), there existed a semantic distinction between the two suffixes that persisted long enough for the ''-thera'' ending to experience a resurgence in productivity in the [[Vulgar Arithide|vulgar tongue]], and hence subsequently the [[Koine Arithide|koine]] and the [[Modern Arithide|modern standard]]. The lexeme ''-on'' was straightforward: it simply denoted any person who committed any action, and could be freely attached to any verb due to its broad semantic scope: *''serēn'' "to write" > ''seron'' "one who writes, the person who wrote" *''terēn'' "to weave" > ''teron'' "one who weaves, the person who wove" *''damēn'' "to carry" > ''damon'' "one who carries, the person who carried" It is even possible to attach ''-on'' to secondary verbal stems, e.g. participle forms. Compare: *''seron'' "one who writes", "one who wrote" VS *''se'''i'''ron'' "the one writing" VS *''ser'''ās'''on'' "one who has written", "one who has been published" ''-Thera'', on the other hand, was more restrictive: this suffix could be used only to denote such persons as professionals, passionate believers, or members of the family and so on. In other words, the action in question could not be a casual, one-off incidence, but had to be done by virtue of vocation, profession, conviction, or social role. Note the semantic contrast between the examples in the above paragraph and those that follow: *''serēn'' "to write" > ''sesthera'' "author" *''terēn'' "to weave" > ''testhera'' "tailor, seamstress" *''damēn'' "to carry" > ''danthera'' "porter" The above examples also demonstrate the regular phonological assimilation undergone in nominalisation. For more, see [[Classical Arithide conjugation#Verbal nouns]]. ==Grammatical cases== Fully declining a noun requires expressing its 11 cases: *'''Nominative''', which marks the subject of a verb; the nominative is the case in which a noun or pronoun is cited in the dictionary, hence it is also known as the citation case *'''Topical''', which marks the topic of a sentence *'''Accusative''', which marks the object of a verb *'''Genitive''', which marks possession by *'''Dative''', which marks motion towards, and by extension benefaction to etc. *'''Locative''', which marks location (with places) or indicates shift of grammatical focus (with objects and people) *'''Ablative''', which marks motion away or existence apart, and by extension is used with prepositions such as ''parō'' "about, regarding" or ''etel'' "by (agentive)" *'''Instrumental''', which marks instruments, and by extension accompaniment, using the preposition ''etel'' "with" *'''Vocative''', which marks direct address *'''Connective''', which is an open-ended stem form to which certain affixes or other nouns are appended, e.g. ''salumos'' "heaven" + ''innos'' "top" > ''saluminnum'' "in heaven" (lit. "on heaven"; ''innos'' is in the locative) and ''allas'' "city" + ''dolō'' "around" (from ''dolos'' "surroundings") > ''alladolō'' "around the city" {{footnote|1}} *'''Essive''', which marks existence as {{footnote|1}} ''Alladolō'' (connective + prep.) must be distinguished from the similar ''dolō allior'' (prep. + ablative); while both might be translated as "around the city", the former refers to the areas outside and surrounding a certain city, while the latter refers to places all around within the city: ''alladolō siethē sena'' "there are flowers around the city" vs. ''dolō allior siethē sena'' "there are flowers all about the city". Of these, the connective and essive cases in all nouns are identical, resulting in 10 effective cases. Should the need arise to differentiate the two, however, the essive may take on the auxiliary suffix ''-sanos'' (lit. "semblance, condition, state"). ==First declension ''-os''== Nouns and adjectives of the first declension take the following endings, illustrated by ''thiftios'' "temptation": {| style="width: 400px; background: #efefef; border: 1pt solid #cccccc" cellspacing="0" | style="width:80px" | | style="width: 160px; border-bottom: 1pt solid #cccccc; text-align: center" | ''sg.'' | style="width: 160px; border-bottom: 1pt solid #cccccc; text-align: center" | ''pl.'' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Nom.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thiftios | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thiftiēs |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Top.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ou''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ēu''' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Acc.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''o''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ē''' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Gen.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''oi''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ēi''' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Dat.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ae''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ēā''' <*thiftiēiae |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Loc.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ōm''' <*thiftioum | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ēum''' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Abl.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ōn''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ēn''' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Ins.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''tis'''{{footnote|1}} | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ētūs''' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Voc.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ō''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ē''' |- | style="width:80px; border-right: 1pt solid #cccccc" | '''Ess./Con.''' | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''e''', thifti- | style="width: 160px; background: #f9f9f9; text-align: center" | thifti'''ē''', thifti'''ē-''' |} {{footnote|1}} As seen, vowel-stem nouns lose the thematic ''-o-'' in the instrumental singular.

With ''-i-'' stem words, a simple, long ''-ī-'' results in both cases. {{footnote|2}}The actual ending is ''-ior''. In this case the ''-i-'' in the case ending is elided. ==Third declension ''-ir'', ''-rir''== In [[Classical Arithide]], nouns that end in ''-ir'' in the nominative singular are descended from the older ''-ydr̩'', i.e. they were originally considered part of the Old Arithide [[Old Arithide declension|"Society & Culture" declension]], but regular phonological erosion has made it a separate declension class of its own. Sound change also introduced a variant stem, ''-ir-'', and both forms appear liberally throughout Classical Arithide texts.

the former is more often seen in later texts, but the latter remains widespread and the standard for formal and serious topics. ==Irregular nominatives== The nominatives of certain nouns do not follow the declension paradigms strictly as set out above. Most notable among these are the first, fourth and fifth declension nouns that end in combinations of either a long vowel or consonant + ''-s''. This phenomenon is due to regular phonological processes, which have seen significant syncopation and elision erode affected words to their current forms. E.g.: '''Declension I''' *'''-fos > -wos > -ōs''' **''*safos'' "shade" > ''saōs'', acc. ''saō'', gen. ''savoi'', dat. ''savae'', loc. ''saōm'', abl. ''saōn'', ins. ''saftis''<br>Observe the fortition that occurs of ''-w-'' when followed by >2 vowels (''savoi'') or by a vowel other than ''-o-'' (''savae''). The original ''-f-'' is also retained in the instrumental case where the consonant that follows it obstructs the sound change. The plural is not affected similarly due to the absence of conditioning criteria. *'''(-oCos >) -oFos > ōs''' where C represents any voiced plosive, and F any voiced fricative except /v/ **''*bogos'' "swelling" > ''bōs'', acc. ''bō'', gen ''bōi''; the remainder are formed regularly from ''bog-'' **''*orathodos'' "religious" > ''orathōs'', acc. ''orathō''; the remainder are regular (''orathod-'')<br>This process also affected nominal adjectives, as shown. *'''-osos > os''' by haplology, e.g. ''*kiosos'' "gap, gulf, emptiness" > ''kios, kios-'', otherwise regularly declined The irregularities exhibited in declensions IV and V are older, and caused more by fricativisation and general lenition than by syncope and elision. There is no tendency that can be generalised, but rather an assortment of commonly used nouns that have been phonologically eroded. '''Declension IV''' *''*dad'' "hand" > ''dadz'' > ''daz'' > ''das'', acc. ''dade/daze'', nom. pl. ''dadāī'', acc. pl. ''dadai/dazai''; the remainder are regular. **''*ad'' "sea" follows a similar path to become ''as'', but its stem was permanently altered to ''az-'', i.e. gen. ''azus'', acc. pl. ''azai'' etc. *''*vet'' "breeze" > ''vets'' > ''ves'', acc. ''vete'', gen. ''vetus'' etc. regularly *''*tor'' "step" > ''tos'', acc. ''tore'', gen. ''torus'' etc. regularly *''*reg'' "day" > ''reɣ'' > ''rē'' > ''rēs''<br>The stem was permanently altered to ''rē-'', i.e. acc. ''rē'', gen. ''rēus'', acc. pl. ''rēai'' etc. *''*gent'' "bloodline" > ''gēn'', acc. ''gente'', etc. regularly *''*gjor'' "tongue" > ''iō'', acc. ''iore'', etc. regularly with stem ''ior-'' [jor] The pronominal declensions were also affected by these changes, as evidenced in the genitive singular and the possessive series (e.g. ''nes, net-''). '''Declension V''' *''*aidonr̩'' > ''aidōr'', nom. ''aidōra'', gen. ''aidonin'' etc. regularly with stem ''aidon-'' *''*katasr̩'' > ''katār'', nom. ''katāra'', gen. ''katasin'' etc. regularly with stem ''katas-'' In addition, there are also two Class-II nouns that exhibit irregular nominatives: ''ilēthēs'' "world", stem ''ilēthēa-''; ''itās'' "port", stem ''itāna-''. Due to the age of the processes that resulted in these irregular forms, nouns that were formed in these productive classes were not subject to such elisions. These reductive processes only kicked in when the consonants mentioned above were in isolation, i.e. they did not occur as part of a cluster. In addition, the behaviour of the vowels immediately before the affected consonants exhibits a degree of variation that is not entirely regular or predictable. While much of the time they remain unchanged, in certain nouns the high vowels [i] and [u] may be lowered to [e] and [o] (which was not reflected in the standard orthography but gleaned from informal correspondences and writings). Most problematically, for reasons of stress and perhaps scansion, they might sometimes be lengthened: e.g. the stem of ''kūs'' "proper" is actually ''kur-'', and that of ''dhīs'' "festival" is ''dhid-''. The occurrence of ''-ū-'' and ''-ī-'' in these cases appears to be entirely arbitrary, especially given the precedents of words like ''das, dad-'' "hand" that do not undergo compensatory lengthening. ==Irregular nouns== {{main|List of Classical Arithide irregular nouns}} As with all languages, Classical Arithide has its share of irregularly-declined nouns, some of them being among the most commonly used. In addition to that, most personal names in Classical Arithide are irregularly declined (e.g. ''Pereos'', gen. ''Fini''; ''Symbakos'', voc. ''Sebeō''). See also [[Areth names#Classical declension]] for more on personal name declensions. ==See also== *[[List of Classical Arithide irregular nouns]] *[[Classical Arithide]] *[[Classical Arithide grammar]] *[[Classical Arithide pro-forms]] *[[Classical Arithide conjugation]] *[[Classical Arithide adjectives]] *[[Classical Arithide adverbs]] *[[Classical Arithide determiners]] *[[Classical Arithide adpositions]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arithide]] File:Kijebsyllabary.svg 3735 18586 2007-01-15T07:49:33Z Melroch 31 Trying to upload SVG versiion Trying to upload SVG versiion Help:How to display your conscript on the wiki 3736 18614 2007-01-16T17:17:55Z Melroch 31 {{wip}} <div class="usermessage plainlinks"><center>''' [http://wiki.frath.net/index.php?title=User_talk:Melroch&action=edit&section=new <font color="black">For questions and suggestions about this page contact User:Melroch/BPJ!</font>]'''</center></div> __NOTOC__ There are three or four steps to displaying your conscript into the wiki, and an optional fifth step (Click on the links for more detailed instructions): <div style="max-width: 66%;"> :[[#1|1. Create an image of your conscript]]. Usually you will draw or write it, perhaps into a table prepared in a word processor and then printed out. :[[#2|2. Get the image into a suitable computer image form]] if it isn't already. Usually by scanning it and postprocessing it in an image manipulation program. :[[#3|3. Upload the image to the wiki]]. By clicking on the link "[[#Special:Upload|Upload file]]" in the ''toolbox'' sidebar on the left of the wiki page. :[[#4|4. Include the image into the wiki article]]. This is done using a variant of the ordinary syntax for wiki-internal links. :[[#5|5. Optionally create a font for your conscript]] and make it available on the wiki. </div> == {{anchor|1}} 1. Create an image of your conscript == If you are keen on being able to produce computer documents using your conscript you may want to create a font for your conscript, however this is a major undertaking in itself, and such documents are not very useful online, since you'd need to either get people to download and install your font, or to create PDF documents. For someone who unlike me has fully functional hands and some drawing skills it is usually better to write/draw a paper document and scan it in step [[#2]]. Assuming you want a table of your conscript similar to the one [[User:Melroch|I]] made of the Kijeb syllabary you would: :1.1. Create a table in your word processor, writing in everything that should be in Roman/print and leaving blanks for the actual glyphs. :1.2. Print it out in as large a scale as your printer will allow (you may actually want to make several sub-tables and glue them together -- probably not literally, but afterward in an image editor). :1.3. Fill in the glyphs by hand with a fountain pen or an art/technical marker which gives a true line. You may want to first draw the glyphs with a faint pencil and fill them in with ink when you got them right, in which case the ink should allow you to erase the pencil without smearing the ink. This usually works fine with technical markers. :(When creating images of shorthand writing [[User:Melroch|I]] actually wrote with a soft, black artists' pencil and scanned the result, which was quite satisfactory for that purpose and allowed for correction on the fly, although you will need a good plastic eraser to avoid smudge. Alas [[User:Melroch|I]] can't recommend any brands, since the good erasers sold here in Sweden are made in Germany, and probably not available or expensive in other places like the US.) == {{anchor|2}} 2. Get the image into a suitable computer image form == Scan your finished table. If you haven't got your own there are shops which will do it for you, and put it on a floppy or CD for you, or maybe email it to your computer. [[User:Melroch|I]] have no idea what it may cost where you are (it is alas unrealistically expensive here, so if you haven't got your own scanner a friend who has one is the best option). :2.1. Make sure the image file is in a good image format for your purposes. If the image contains few colors and biggish white areas, as is likely GIF is the best. PNG is good too, but transparent PNGs may print out as black boxes under Windows {{-(}}. :2.2. Open your image(s) in an image editor (if you haven't got one The Gimp <www.gimp.org> is recommendable) and touch it up: 'gluing' parts together and getting into an appropriate size (usually larger than what should be displayed on the wiki page but not unreasonably large -- rather what would fit on ''both'' a US Letter or A4: 210 × 279 mm (8.26 × 10.98 in), in practice the image should be at most 190 x 259 mm (7.48 x 10.1 in) if you want to allow a 10 mm margin on each side). There are more arcane things you can do to assure that white areas are really white, and black areas really black, but it takes some care and expertise to assure things don't get pixelly. == {{anchor|3}} 3.

I'll test some of the tentinnabulas et fistulas ASAP [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] Ok, thats fine but why did you delete my con-lang from the list? == Combined regional timelines == Hi BPJ, I'd like to create an article that contains a timeline for multiple regions at once, where the user can select which regions to display (similar to collapsible tables on Wikipedia, but based on {{Type|<nowiki><li></nowiki>}} tags). The events should be listed in chronological order, so each event must probably be treated as an individual entity within a {{Type|<nowiki><div></nowiki>}} tag whose class/id value is changed). I have a fairly good idea how to approach this; only I have little experience with both wiki templates and JavaScript (which I suspect might be necessary). Maybe you as the template expert of FW could help me with this? Basically, my idea is as follows: '''Timeline article''' <pre><nowiki> {{Timeline|SPHERE}} {{Event|region1|103|King of Region 1 dies.}} {{Event|region2|110|Rebellion in Region 2.}} </div> </nowiki></pre> (Note that "SPHERE" should not actually appear in the wikitext, but represents a variable containing the sphere(s) that the user wants to see. This is what must be changed dynamically.) '''Template:Timeline''' <pre><nowiki> <div class="timeline" id="{{{1}}}"> </nowiki></pre> '''Template:Event''' <pre><nowiki> <span class={{{1}}}> * {{{2}}} AD: {{{3}}}</span> </nowiki></pre> '''Common.css''' <pre><nowiki> .timeline li {display:none;} #region1 .region1 {display:inline;} #region2 .region2 {display:inline;} </nowiki></pre> With this (I think) I'd only need a way to set the {{Type|SPHERE}} variable in '''Template:Timeline''' to either {{Type|"region1"}} or {{Type|"region2"}} dynamically, based on user choice. The output should then look like so: {{Type|<nowiki>SPHERE="region1"</nowiki>}} * 103 AD: King of Region 1 dies. {{Type|<nowiki>SPHERE="region2"</nowiki>}} * 110 AD: Rebellion in Region 2. {{Type|<nowiki>SPHERE="region1 region2"</nowiki>}} * 103 AD: King of Region 1 dies. * 110 AD: Rebellion in Region 2.

It does very little in terms of database size if that's what worries you. ::I think of it as general cleanup. If all the hundreds of conlangs on the site were lump'd into the same category, it would not be "categorization" at all (since after all, conlangs are the ''main'' interest here!) That's what the [[List of conlangs]] is for, isn't it? ::Also, given that we do have some subcategorization, I don't think "downwards" cross-categorization is helpful. If an article is in [[:Category:Indo-European conlangs]], I expect it ''not'' to be a Romance, Germanic or Slavic conlang. Finding "negativly defined" groups would be difficult if everything were also there in addition to the subcategories. :Perhaps you're right that one should not tag pages with several categories which one expects to be sub-/supercategories of eachother, but then one should probably also make sure that that expectation is true; e.g. [[:Category: Romance conlangs]] is '''not''' ATM a subcategory of [[:Category: Conlangs]] which it probably should be! ::It's found under [[:Category:Indo-European conlangs]] which in turn is under [[:Category:A posteriori conlangs]]. That starts to gather some density, but we're still not quite at the point of having things like [[:Category:Para-Gallo-Iberian conlangs with Basque influence]]. :IMHO one category to many on a page is probably a lesser evil than something not being found because it is assigned only to a category which is not properly subcategorized. After all the purpose of categories is to help people find stuff, not to create a taxonomy. (I should add that I'm wary of taxonomies, since in most cases (biological taxonomy obviously being an exception!) several taxonomies are equally possible and each reveals something about the matter classified, but choosing one taxonomy over another will narrow your vision.) [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 11:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC) ::That shouldn't be a problem since wikicategories can have multiple parent categories. I imagine in addition to the "lexicon origin" categorization, some kind of typological categorization may be useful to introduce eventually. --[[User:Tropylium|<span class="IPA">Trɔpʏliʊm</span>]] • [[User talk:Tropylium|blah]] 11:40, 26 June 2009 (UTC) == [[NASS]] == Although you comment that you abandoned it, Ᵹ (Latin capital insular g) is now in Unicode (Ᵹ U+A77D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER INSULAR G).

[[User:Calculator Ftvb|Calculator Ftvb]] 21:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC) == Site issues == I've done some work and was able to get DynamicPageList back up to normal, mostly—I did have to 'nowiki' the DPL on your page and on [[User:Calculator Ftvb|Calculator Ftvb]]'s, as I was not able to get either of them to display due to the errors. The webhost was not able to give any insight on why the errors were happening, but I still think there's a resources barrier somewhere along the line—while I was trying to load your page with everything going, the whole site's memory use nearly doubled. I did some testing on the page to see if I could isolate it or if it was just the amount of DPLs involved — I found that just the "pages I created" section is enough to bring up the error, as is the "pages I modified but did not create", and the "pages I created which were last modified by someone else". (Leaving those nowikied and displaying all others works — but I suppose I can't guarantee it will if the server's getting hit from elsewhere too.) Anyway, due to these resource issues and the apparent security issues with DPL (in its use of raw HTML) I'm wondering if it might be worthwhile to start looking into transitioning away from it. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 17:25, 27 September 2010 (PDT) Template:Anchor 3739 18611 2007-01-16T16:41:35Z Melroch 31 Created <span id="{{{1}}}"></span> Lámatyávë 3740 18618 2007-01-16T17:51:05Z Melroch 31 [[Category:Terminology]] '''Lámatyávë''' is [[wikipedia:Quenya|Quenya]] for 'language taste', [[wikipedia:J.

Denihilonihil 119 /* Appendent adpositions */ Due to the extensive inflectionary marking in [[Classical Arithide]], the number of adpositions in common use is very few, although for purposes of scansion, some archaic ones can still be seen in poetry, sometimes in redundancy; the adpositions were revived, however, in [[Modern Arithide]], as postpositions. ==Appendent adpositions== The appendent adpositions (or postpositions), so called because they are appended to the connective case of nouns, are in more widespread use than the standalone prepositions. Forming discrete nouns from the root which carry specific positional or lative denotations, they include the following common ones: *'''ānos, ān''' temporal locative, not added to nouns denoting time; this effectively makes a new noun, which is then declined accordingly **'''''Taitiān ūliāno''' medeon.'' '''When it is night''' we shall wait '''for it to be day''' (lit. for daytime). ([[Kasūbos|Casubus]]) **'''''Filān''' eiēs nis obissimnai.'' His wine disappears (lit. tends to disappear) '''when he is with his friends''' (lit. when he is a friend). **'''''Serrānis''' syndrēs itor evtēn.'' The sins '''of power''' (lit. of when powerful) reveal the man. *'''dolos, dolō''' "around" **'''''Alladolō''' siethē senēn.'' There are flowers '''around (surrounding) the city'''. (See also the next section) *'''dunios, duniō''' "out of" **'''''Steptaduniō''' sōpedēs nagi ena konegēn.'' "'''Out of the fortress''' the soldiers rushed like a wave." ([[Oskēs|Osces]], ''[[Ārēs Baenanēs|The Baenian Wars]]'') *'''innos, innum''' "top" **'''''Epsolinnum''' lārēs senēn.'' There is a clock '''on''' (top of the) building. **cf. '''''Epsolum''' lārēs senēn.'' There is a clock '''on''' (the face of etc. but not the top of) the building. *'''iros, irae''' "towards" **''Fēnus '''abitirae''' abulon!'' (We) will march '''towards the abode''' of the gods! ([[Haratos|Haratus]], ''Orations'') *'''iros, iri''' "within, inside" (inessive marker) **''Inne '''roimiri kithiri''' flēgos faeos pēdēn.'' "In this frail body there lies a robust mind." (Haratus, ''Orations'') *'''isos, isae''' "against, counter" **'''''Kodhisae''' sōpedēs solmē toiti.''

The black sedan stopped '''in front of the house'''. *'''stera, strera''' "beside" **''Savlus '''orestrera''' rodēor ariftimnai.'' Grass grows better '''beside a river'''. (Proverb) *'''tandos, tandum''' ''below" **'''''Saluntandum''' augulē soni.'' (We) live meagrely '''under the heavens'''. ([[Pladisith|Pladisian]], ''Verses'') In each of the above cases appending the noun form of the adposition forms an adpositional noun that is usually a circumlocution of another noun (e.g. ''saluntandos'' "the place under the heavens", instead of ''saluntandum'', is an alternative of ''halagum'' "on earth, in the mortal world"). ==Standalone adpositions== Most standalone adpositions govern a designated case or several designated cases; the latter situation indicates multiple, usually related, meanings canvassed under the preposition concerned. *'''ansa''' ''+ accusative'' "before (adverbial)" **'''''Mena/Menās ōssi ansa''' dōno enespi.'' She had hoped '''before she died''' that her son would return. ''(i.e. she is dead)'' **cf. '''''Menās ōssi ansa''' dōn enespi.'' She had hoped that her son would return, '''before he died.''' ''(i.e. son is dead)'' *'''ansa''' ''+ temporal locative ablative'' (see previous section) "before (independent)" **'''''Mena/Menās ōssirānōn ansa''' dōno enespi.'' She had hoped that her son would return '''before she died'''. ''(i.e. she is living, but has given up)'' **cf. '''''Menās ōssirānōn ansa''' dōn enespi.''

There is no infinitive, and verbs are quoted in dictionaries in their perfect finite form. The two conjugations differ in their basic finite forms, whereas additional affixes for the various aspects and moods are common; a small group of verbs are mixed-conjugation: though consonant-stem, they take vowel-stem conjugations. Within consonant-stem verbs, nasal-stems (''-m-'' and ''-n-'') conjugate slightly differently from the non-nasal-stem verbs; also, vowel-stem verbs possess a second stem, with which are formed their derivatives, such as the protractive aspect and the agentive noun. Verbs in each class are conjugated for four or five voices, three basic aspects, five derivative aspects, seven moods and one tense, on a cascading hierarchy as above. I.e., to the root form of the verb would first be appended affixes indicating voice, followed by aspect, then mood and subsequently tense. Certain aspects and moods in Classical Arithide constitute separate verbs ''eo ipso'', but, as semi-independent verbs, are not always able to take the full range of verb conjugations. There is a small class of antideponent verbs in Classical Arithide, i.e. verbs with an active form but a passive meaning. Verbs are the only group of words in Classical Arithide that exhibit a significant degree of non-inflectionary morphology, namely, agglutination, which occurs in affixing aspects, moods and tenses onto individual verbs. ==Voice and transitivity== Classical Arithide verbs can also be classified, in grammatical literature, according to whether the root is active or passive. Because of the conflation of voice with transitivity, "active" and "middle" voice may in fact correspond to "transitive" and "intransitive" in certain cases, though to the Areth of the [[Ilethes in the Classical Age|Classical Age]], the difference was scarcely material. The flexible verb system of the language means that it is possible for individual verbs to cross categories, i.e. for active verbs to take on the middle voice and vice versa. By scholastic agreement, verbs can fall into either of two groups by this criterion: the "weak verbs" (''numatheros'', lit. "down group") contains verbs that change voice with suffixes, analogously to the Germanic "weak verbs"; the "strong verbs" (''bisatheros'', lit. "up group") undergo [[Classical Arithide vowel gradation|ablaut]] to convey the same change. Within both groups are verbs whose roots are active, and inflect to middlise/intransitivise; as well as verbs whose roots are middle-voice, and inflect to activise. ===Weak verb voice changes=== When changing voice, weak verbs take various endings, which are not governed by systematic rules and have to be learnt by memory. However, analogical levelling has meant the preponderance of one or two endings productively, with the rest surviving mostly in fossilised form, albeit usually in the most commonly used verbs. Active-root weak verbs can take the following endings to become middle-voice: *Verbs with stems ending in ''-r'', or ''-r'' and a vowel, generally take '''''-erai''''' *Certain rare verbs use '''''-atai''''', '''''-ōsai''''', '''''-ēsai''''' or '''''-ēmai''''' *All other situations employ the suffix '''''-(o)nai''''' Middle-voice weak verbs can take the following endings to become active-voice: *Where the verb takes the infix ''-on-'' (which occurs frequently with some monosyllabic roots), use '''''-erēn''''' *The following endings are rarer: '''''-airēn''''', '''''-ourēn''''' (whose ''-r-'' disappears in every other inflection), '''''-eirēn''''' *All other situations employ '''''-(o)idēn''''' ===Passive=== The biggest morphological difference between the "active" and "middle" verbs, naturally, is the fact that the former category can take on the '''passive voice''', while the latter cannot. The passive in Classical Arithide is formed with the prefix (unusually for a generally suffixing language) ''h(e)(n)-''. The curiously complicated citation form of this prefix is due to the fact that while the usual form used is ''he-'', as with verbs beginning with a consonant, those that begin with a vowel take either the simple ''h-'' or the longer ''hen-''. There appears to be no fast rule governing which prefix each verb takes, and the passive form of each verb beginning with a vowel must learnt by heart. ===Causative=== In addition to the '''active''', '''middle''' and '''passive''' voices, there is also the '''causative''' voice, which denotes agent A ''causing'' agent B to commit a particular action, and can be applied to verbs in any of the other three voices previously mentioned, e.g. : *''Mādou saī lydārēn.'' "Mother made sister eat."<br>Here ''lydai'' "to eat" is a middle-voice/intransitive verb causativised by the suffix ''-ārēn''. N.B. ''saī'' "sister" is always in the dative case as she is the target (i.e. indirect object) of the causative. *''Mādou saī mele lydārēn.'' "Mother made sister eat the apple."<br>Here ''lydēn'' is an active-voice/transitive verb causativised by the same suffix, resulting in the same causative form for both verbs. *''Mādou meli helydārēn.'' "Mother made the apple be eaten."<br>Here ''helydai'' is a passive verb, causativised by exactly the same suffix as before. The causative can be applied to verbs in their original aspect only, e.g. one can only causativise ''lydēn'' "to eat" in this original perfective aspect and not the imperfective ''luīdēn'' that can be derived from it; likewise causativisation happens to ''vagonai'' "to go, impf." and not ''vaktai'' "to go, prfv." or ''vaksa'' "to have gone, perf.". The reason is that only the semantic value of the root verb is carried over to the causative, and all further conjugation, aspectual, modal or otherwise, is carried out on the causative suffix ''-ārēn''. ===Potentive=== A fifth voice, the '''potentive''' voice with suffix ''-ētai'', is used to express the physical ability (as opposed to permission) of an agent to commit the action in question. This voice can be appended to verbs in any of the other four voices, e.g. the following sentences: *''Mādou lydētai.'' "Mother can eat." *''Mādou mele lydētai.'' "Mother can eat an apple."<br>N.B. the potentive forms of the transitive and intransitive forms of verbs that do not take an extra infix when changing voice are identical. *''Meleu helydētai.'' "The apple can (has a physical ability to) be eaten." *''Mādou saī mele lydārētai.'' "Mother can make sister eat the apple." *''Mādou meli helydārētai.'' "Mother can make the apple be eaten." ==Conjugations of an Arithide verb== The basic conjugations of an Arithide verb are given in table format as laid out in the following template. {| style="width: 500px; background: #efefef; border: 1pt solid #cccccc" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" ! style="width: 125px; background: #dfdfdf; border-right: 1pt dashed #cccccc" | ''verb'' | style="width: 375px; border-bottom: 1pt solid #cccccc" colspan="4" | ''habitual, inceptive, frequentative, protractive, volitive''<br>''desiderative, jussive, subjunctive'' |- | style="width: 125px; background: #dfdfdf; border-right: 1pt dashed #cccccc" rowspan="5" | ''imperative, cohortative''<br><br>''supine'' (I)<br>''location'' (II)<br>''instrument'' (V)<br>''agent'' (VI)<br>''patient'' (VII, VI) | style="width: 125px" | ''perfect aspect'' | style="width: 125px" | ''perfect participle'' | style="width: 125px" | ''perfect supine'' |- | style="width: 125px" | ''perfective aspect'' | style="width: 125px" | ''perfective participle'' | style="width: 125px" | ''perfective supine'' |- | style="width: 125px" | ''imperfective aspect'' | style="width: 125px" | ''imperfective participle'' | style="width: 125px" | ''imperfective supine'' |- | style="width: 125px" | ''future tense'' | style="width: 125px" | ''future participle'' | style="width: 125px" | ''future supine'' |- | colspan="3" | ''potentive, causative, passive{{footnote|1}}, (middlisation/activisation)'' |} {{footnote|1}} Note: for why the passive voice exists for both active/transitive and middle/intransitive verbs, see [[below]]. ===Stem & gerund=== The conjugation of a verb is conducted with its stem as the basis. To find the stem of a verb, simply remove the perfective ending. For active verbs this is ''-ēn'' for consonant-stems and ''i''-, ''u-'', ''y''-stems, and ''-n'' for all other vowel stems; for middle voice verbs it is ''-ai'' for consonant-stems and ''-nai'' for all vowel stems. From the stem is formed the second major part of a verb's conjugation, the gerund. The gerunds of vowel-stem verbs are identical to the stems; consonant-stem verbs affix an ''-o'', hence ''napsēn'' "to hide" > ''napso''. Most complex conjugations are formed using the gerund, as are a number of common verbal phrases and periphrastic constructions; frequently, when those conjugations require an affix beginning with a vowel, the ''-o'' of the gerund in consonant-stem verbs is elided. The gerund for specific aspects of a verb can also be formed from any participial stem, simply by adding ''-to'' (occasionally ''-te''). I.e. the imperfective participle ''pariānos'' "kept running" has the imperfective gerund ''pariānto'' or ''pariānte'', meaning literally "keep running, and...". This is normally used when the verb in the gerund (being connected) and the final verb in the sentence are of different aspects, e.g.: ''Mena paretei pāthīto artēnai.''<br> she.NOM reason.PL.ACC listen.IMPF.GER agree.PRFV<br> She listened continuously to the reasons (i.e. "heard us out") and agreed. ===Imperative & cohortative=== At the top-right of the table, listed with the stem and the gerund, are the imperative ("walk!") and the cohortative ("let's walk") moods respectively. These are the only two forms of the verb that are progressively invariable (see [[Progressive inflection]]), i.e. they do not inflect further for the next level of time-flow distinction, in this case tense. The imperative is formed with V-verbs by lengthening their inherent vowel and adding ''-ra'', and with consonant-stem verbs by adding ''-ēra'' to the stem (i.e. ''napsēn'' > ''napsēra'', ''kalān'' > ''kalāra'', ''sebīn'' > ''sebīra''). In colloquial speech or for purposes of scansion, the final ''-ra'' may be omitted. The cohortative is constructed in consonant-stem verbs by appending ''-ō'' to the stem; vowel-stem verbs add ''-ō'' to their stem, and the thematic vowel is elided with stems ending in ''-a'', ''-o'', ''-u'' and ''-y''. ===Free derivatives=== The only derivative verbs that can conjugate nearly as fully as the active verb itself, with only minimal restrictions (the "free derivatives"), number three, and are the three other verb voices in Classical Arithide: the potentive (''-ētai'', "able to"), causative (''-ārā''/''-ārai'', "make/cause to") and passive (''he-'', "be done something to"). To illustrate, ''napsētai'' (''naps-'' + ''-ētai'' potentive) can take any ending that the main verb can, except the passive, because potentive verbs are intransitive by nature and thus do not have a passive; nor can ''henapsai'' (''naps-'' + prefix ''he-'' passive), for the same reason that passive verbs are also intransitive by definition; in addition, the causative is the only derivative of the three that allows recursion: ''napsārārēn'' "make to cause to hide" is semantically permissible, whereas ''napsētētai'' is illogical and ''hegenapsai'' (doubled ''he-''; the second ''he-'' is mutated due to historical phonological sound changes) is forbidden for transitivity reasons as already discussed. There is a third-person imperative ("let him hide") ending in ''-(e)sit''&mdash;i.e. ''henapsesit'' Records of earlier Arithide show the passive form as originally having been constructed ''-sita'', which casts some light on the origins of the seemingly irregular third-person imperative, and the patientive verbal noun. The latter is attested as once regular (''napsesitis'', which phonetic attrition reduced), and the former of which is unattested but postulated by scholars to have been ''napsesitu'', paralleling the imperative and cohortative. For those moods, however, no material is available to explain their distinct construction from the active. ====Passive voice on middle-voice verbs==== Despite the limited applicability of the passive voice outlined above, however, the passive does in fact exist for middle/intransitive verbs, except with different meanings: the passive as used with active verbs is the regular passive as speakers of Indo-European languages may be used to; when used with middle verbs, however, the voice takes on a malefactive character. A sentence like ''Kēkou fātis henōssēn.'' (lit. "Cecus was died by his father") means that Cecus' father died, which caused him much pain, grief, agony and/or trouble. Such a construction may only take animate subjects, because objects cannot logically be "harmed" by an action. However, this rule is frequently broken by the classical poets, particularly in extended metaphors. Certain transitive verbs also took on a "malefactive passive", made possible by the existence of a topical case in later periods, ''viz.'': ''Fregādou konāt sīn gybeōn hezilfēn.'' Fregados.TOP wallet.NOM with thief.ABL PASS.steal.PRFV Fregādos' wallet was stolen by a thief ===Limited derivatives=== The "limited derivative" verbs are, as opposed to the free derivatives, independent derivative verbs that may not take the full range of conjugations. Most derivatives in this category are modal and infixed between the verb stem and its voice endings: the '''inceptive''' mood (''-iz-'' "to begin to"), the '''frequentative''' (''-eus-'' "to do repeatedly"), the '''protractive''' (''-nd-'' "to go on and on"), the '''volitive''' (''-oum-'' "to be willing to"), the '''desiderative''' (''-ss-' "to want to"), the '''jussive''' (''-sp- "to want the listener to") and the '''[[Subjunctive mood (Classical Arithide)|subjunctive]]''' (''-ōn-''). The first three moods take the imperfective stem; the latter three take the gerundive stem with C-verbs and the basic stem with V-verbs. None of these verbs may take a subordinate voice (as they are moods), nor recur outside literature (i.e. ''napsizizai'', for example, is not normally permissible); all may take the inceptive and the subjunctive subordinately, and the inceptive may take the frequentative in subordination, to give the meaning of "repeatedly began (but never finished)". Also part of the limited derivatives are the progressively invariable '''habitual''' and '''perfective habitual''' aspects, which are conjugated like tenses, by taking the imperfective stem, infixing ''-mn-'', and conjugating it for the perfect or perfective aspect, e.g. ''hoirimnai'' "used to turn (intr.)". The simple habitual (with the perfect-aspect ending) also doubles as the generic mood, to express universals, e.g. ''lēreu dialimnai'', "the sun rises (every day as a matter of certainty/fact)". These aspects are considered unique, in that they are the only ones that may follow a mood in affixation, to give, e.g. ''agnizimnai'' "he habitually begins to do things (and leave them hanging afterwards)". ===Verbal nouns=== The left side of the table, shaded slightly darker, lists the main verbal nouns, of agency (doer), of patiency (done to), of instrument (tool), of location (place done at), as well as the supine (act of). The supine is a declension I noun, locative nouns are declension II, agentive nouns are of declension VI and instrumentive nouns are declension Vb, the patientive is declension VII (see [[Classical Arithide declension]] for the respective inflection patterns). Different consonant stems take different epenthetic consonants in forming their supines and locatives, illustrated by the table below: {| style="width: 400px; background: #efefef; border: 1pt solid #cccccc; padding: 2px;" cellspacing="0" ! style="width: 200px" | Voiceless plosives/fricatives || style="width: 200px" | Voiced plosives/fricatives |- | to'''p'''ēn, top-, to'''pth'''os{{footnote|1}} || ste'''b'''ēn, steb-, ste'''pth'''os |- | i'''k'''ēn, ik-, i'''kth'''os{{footnote|1}} || va'''g'''ai, vag-, va'''kth'''os |- | ga'''t'''ēn, gat-, ga'''tth'''os{{footnote|1}} || fi'''d'''ēn, fid-, fi'''tth'''os |- | pa'''th'''ēn, path-, pa'''tth'''os || fo'''dh'''ēn, fodh-, fo'''tth'''os |- | bē'''s'''ēn, bēs-, bē'''sth'''os || fi'''z'''ēn, fiz-, fi'''sth'''os |- | |- ! colspan="2" | Sonorants |- | da'''m'''ēn, dam-, da'''nth'''os || the'''n'''ēn, then-, the'''nth'''os |- | su'''l'''ēn, sul-, su'''lth'''os || le'''r'''ēn, ler-, le'''sth'''os |- | |- ! colspan="2" | Clusters, Geminates |- | ko'''mp'''ēn, komp-, ko'''mpth'''os || ka'''mb'''ēn, kamb-, ka'''mpth'''os |- | e'''pt'''ēn, ept-, e'''pth'''os || da'''nd'''ēn, dand-, da'''nth'''os |- | a'''rk'''ēn, ark-, a'''rkth'''os || ka'''rg'''ēn, karg-, ka'''rkth'''os |- | a'''lm'''ēn, alm-, a'''lmpth'''os || se'''ln'''ēn, seln-, se'''lnth'''os |- | i'''ll'''ēn, ill-, i'''lth'''os{{footnote|1}} || |- | fi'''rr'''ēn, firr-, fi'''rreth'''os{{footnote|1}} || ē'''br'''ēn, ēbr-, ē'''breth'''os |- | he'''ss'''ēn, hess-, he'''sseth'''os{{footnote|1}} || |} {{footnote|1}} Geminates for all consonants form their verbal nouns by adding an epenthetic ''-e-'', i.e. ''stammēn'' &gt; ''stammethos'' etc. The only exception is with ''-ll-'', which nominalises identically to verbs in a single ''-l-''.

In this respect it bears much resemblance to the Chinese languages. The proclivity towards aspect-differentiation rather than tense persisted well into the [[Koine Arithide|koine]] era, and it was only with the rise of [[Modern Arithide]] did tenses begin to play a greater role. The verb conjugation table is ordered with the aspects preceding tenses, for reasons of origin: the tenses ultimately derive from reduced versions of the aspects; the perfect aspect gave rise to the present tense, the perfective to the past tense, and the once-common irrealis/conditional mood decayed into the future tense, in a logical process of mapping, in the final decades of the [[Lazeian Empire#Equora_dynasty_.28480_CIE.E2.80.94907_CIE.29|Equora dynasty]]. Written records exhibit tenses only from the late 9th century [[CIE]], and even then only in informal documents. {{seealso|Development of Classical Arithide tenses}} With the stronger role of the tenses in the koine, finer temporal distinctions became possible, and the aspects evolved from finite verb forms to dually functioning affixes: they could stand alone without tense-marking, or they could act as aspectual stems and take tenses. This overlapping feature of the aspect was often utilised in literature, as well as politics, for reasons of style, emphasis, or deliberate ambiguity. ===Participles=== The participles of the various aspects and the conditional mood serve two main purposes. First, due to the SOV syntax of Classical Arithide, verbs were used prenominally as modifiers. Initially these modifier verbs used the same forms as final verbs, but gradually evolved distinct forms with lengthened vowels and, in the case of the imperfective, lost the accompanying consonant. Adjectives of the verbal class, however, did not undergo this change (see [[Classical Arithide adjectives]]). Second, analogously to the Latin ablative absolute construction, the participles could indicate the context of a main sentence, e.g. *''Kodhē '''roisāī''', sōpedāī tholthae vermairēn.'' '''Having weakened''' the enemy, the soldiers went in for the kill.<br> ''roimēn'', stem ''roim-'', perfect aspect ''roisa'', perf. participle ''rois-'', perf. ptcp. class-V pl. ''roisāī'' These participle forms were largely developed already by the [[Lazeian_Empire#Aphoiros_dynasty_.28281_CIE.E2.80.94443_CIE.29|Aphoiros dynasty]], and codified into the language of the respectable classes upon the rise of the Equora. ===Participial verbal nouns=== Participles can also derive verbal nouns, such as ''sthorasthos'' "the fact that you have held (him) back" or ''sthorasthon'' "the person who has held (him) back", from ''sthorasos'' "having held back", from ''sthorasa'' "has held back, to hold back", in turn from ''sthorān'' "to hold back". These are quoted in the tables below in the abstract ''-os'' form which corresponds to "the fact that...", but can also take declension V endings by replacing the ending ''-os'' with ''-on'', changing their meaning to become "the person who...". ==Deriving other parts of speech== Like many other SOV languages, most notably Japanese, early Classical Arithide could turn its verbs into modifiers simply by putting them directly before the noun they modify, e.g. ''ores solai'' "the river flows (lit. ''is flowing'')" vs. ''solai ores'' "the flowing river" "the river that flows (lit. ''is flowing'')". However, due to the language's extensive and growing inflection, and consequently considerably free word order, the practice declined rather early on in the [[Lazeian Empire]]'s existence in favour of the participle forms, which had already begun to differentiate from the finite forms before the [[conquest of Galaria]] (see [[Classical Arithide verb differentiation]]); it only experienced a sort of recovery after the fall of the Equora dynasty, and the consequent accelerated decay of the intricate inflection system it had built up over the years. In the conjugation tables below, the participles for each verb are listed with an additional letter each appended in parentheses to the end. In the "standard" Classical Arithide, the correct participle forms do not include the letters in brackets, nor as modifiers include them but simply conjugate in their base form according to the declension class of their referent. In earlier periods, however, up to the decades before the [[Three Hundred Golden Years]], the correct forms for the perfective and imperfective participles ended in ''-a'', subsequently dropped, and as modifiers of the nominal class declined as per the [[Classical Arithide declension|fifth declension]]. At the same time, in the active and middle voices verbs can form various adjectives and nouns using their different aspectual participle forms (such as ''fragai'' "to rebel, to mutiny" > ''fraignāī sōpedāī'' (with impf. aspect) "rebelling/mutinying soldiers", ''fraksāī sōpedāī'' (with perf. aspect) "soldiers who have rebelled/mutinied&mdash;''implied'' and by consequence are now no longer part of the force", ''fragnāī sōpedāī'' (with prfv. aspect) "soldiers who rebelled/mutinied&mdash;before/once, and that is over and done with in their histories"). This is also true for the passive voice, hence ''hezusser Ganymēder'' (perf.) "stolen Ganymede" is still missing while ''hezunner Ganymēder'' (prfv.) has been returned, and Zeus can stil be seen taking away ''hezyrer Ganymēder'' (impf.). ==Voice, aspect, mood and tense== Verbs in each class are conjugated for four or five voices, three basic aspects, five derivative aspects and seven moods. Of the following list, those marked with an asterisk form separate verbs (i.e. take their own infinitives), which usually do not hold the full conjugation range. Additionally, the interrogative mood is (commonly, and obligatorily in writing but not speech) marked with the auxiliary particle ''da''. Verbs are conjugated on a cascading hierarchy as above, i.e. to the root form of the verb would first be appended affixes indicating voice, followed by aspect, then mood and subsequently tense. ===Voices=== *'''Active''' John hits the ball. *'''Middle''' John makes a hit. *'''Passive''' The ball is hit by John. *'''Causative''' Jack makes John hit the ball. *'''Potentive''' Jack can hit the ball. ===Aspects=== *'''Imperfective''', indicating the progression of an action **'''Habitual/Generic''' & '''Perfective Habitual''' I walk/used to walk to work every day. Mangoes (used to) grow on trees. **'''Protractive'''* I walk on and on; I go on walking. **'''Inceptive'''* I begin to walk. **'''Frequentative'''* I walk around. *'''Perfective''', indicating the completion of an action *'''Perfect''' I have walked to the cinema (and am now there). ===Moods=== *'''Indicative''', stating facts, strong beliefs *'''Subjunctive'''*, used with wishes, hopes, doubts, conditions *'''Desiderative'''* I want to walk. *'''Jussive'''* I want you to walk. *'''Volitive''', I am willing to walk *'''Imperative''' Walk! *'''Cohortative''' Let's walk. *'''Negative'''{{footnote|1}} I do not walk. {{footnote|1}}There are technically two types of the negative mood in Classical Arithide, but traditionally have been conflated into one by the [[Dethrians]], who were not generally able to effectively distinguish between the two (see next section for more information). ===Future tense=== Classical Arithide has an odd, anomalous tense in its morphological system, namely the future tense, with ending ''-ma/-mai''. The use of this tense is very limited, being restricted to only the literal meaning of "ahead of time", and is used like a relative tense. I.e. even when speaking about the past, this future tense can still be used as long as the action in question took place ''after'' the point of time reference, e.g. ''Mena labi'''mai'''tho derēisa.'' "I had hoped that she would call for me." As may be observed, here where Classical Arithide uses the simple future, English with its absolute tense system uses the future perfect. ==Negation== In Classical Arithide, as with its modern descendant, there are two possible ways of constructing negation&mdash;''broad'' and ''narrow''&mdash;using the affix ''av-, -va'' respectively. Broad negation negates the semantic meaning of an entire word, phrase, or even sentence; the narrow variant negates only the specific conjugated meaning of the verb. Compare the following two sentences and the nuanced difference in their meaning: *''Vaktho raenētai'''va'''.'' You can'''not''' choose to go. (lit. "going choose-can-not") *''Vaktho '''au'''raenētai.'' You can '''not''' choose to go. ''or'' You can choose '''not''' to go. (lit. "going not-choose-can") *'''''Au'''vaktho raenētai.'' You can choose '''not''' to go. (lit. "not-going choose-can") The former sentence is an example of narrow negation, because the negative suffix applies only to the conjugated verb, i.e. it refers to the narrow act of not choosing; the latter of broad, because the prefix inverts the lexical meaning of the verb, and subsequent conjugations modify the prefixed verb as a single unit of negative meaning&mdash;the new word is technically considered grammatically affirmative. Certain constructions require the use of either of the negatives over the other due to grammatical constraints, e.g. in the case of the following two sentences: #''Sit iter '''au'''vagōn do, vagmai.'' If that person is not going, I will go. #''Sit iter vagōn do, vagmai'''va'''.'' If that person is going, I will not go. #''Sit iter '''au'''vagespai.'' He does not want that person to go. (Lit. "he desires the person to not-go") #''Sit iter vagespai'''va'''.'' He does not want that person to go. (Lit. "he desires not the person to go") In the first sentence the broad negative has to be employed due to the overlap in the various functions of the subjunctive mood, which here is used as a "subjunctive of condition": if it were said ''Sit iter vagōnaiva...'', it would imply a separate grammatical topic (e.g. ''dās'' "I", ''nās'' "he" etc.) and that the subjunctive is being used as a "subjunctive of desire", i.e. the clause would mean, instead, the equivalent of sentence (4). ==Conjugation paradigms== === Active-voice consonant-stem verbs === Active voice verb ''valēn'' "to site, to settle (tr.)": {| style="width: 500px; background: #efefef; border: 1pt solid #cccccc" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" !

Due to the consequent coincidence of the consonants from the stem and the ending, phonetic assimilation or dissimilation may occur as demonstrated below. In certain cases where the syllable structure of the verb changes (e.g. from open to closed), vowel alterations may also take place with the high vowels ''i'' and ''u'', lowering them to ''e'' and ''o'' respectively. Certain mixed-conjugation verbs also act as if they were ''e''-stem verbs, and can conjugate accordingly, leading to two different conjugal matrices for the same verb; all the example verbs given below belong to this category: ''ludēn'' "to gamble", ''dagēn'' "to contain", ''simēn'' "to host" and ''levēn'' "big". {| style="width: 500px; background: #efefef; border: 1pt solid #cccccc" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" !

Senjecan cuisine 3759 19093 2007-02-07T19:00:47Z Caeruleancentaur 11 [[description]] [[recipes]] Description 3760 52724 2010-03-18T02:49:24Z Caeruleancentaur 11 ==Introduction== "Every culture tends to combine a small number of flavoring ingredients so frequently and consistently that they become definitive of that particular cuisine....As we go from one part of the world to another and from one flavor principle to another, we shall see that it is these characteristic combinations of seasonings that clearly define each ethnic cuisine." from ''Ethic Cuisine:The Flavor Principle Cookbook'' by Elizabeth Rozin. As each of the loquent peoples came into existence they investigated their particular ecosystem to discover what flora and fauna were available to them and discovered the flavor principles that best suited their temperament. This eventually gave rise to the special cuisines associated with each people. This does not mean that there is no sharing of dishes, but each people has some signature ingredients that they enjoy and which characterize their cuisines, in ways similar to the ways special ingredients characterize contemporary human cuisines. Ethnic restaurants are big business. Under the heading of each people, the various components of their cuisine will be described. *Onions, garlic, ramsons and leeks are used by all the Peoples. Shallots were not part of the original food of the Peoples. *Root crops such as carrots, parsnips, beets, radishes and turnips are used by all the Peoples. *Other common vegetables are celery, rhubarb, cabbage and cucumbers. *The following herbs and spices are available to all the Peoples: celery seed, mustard, capers, caraway, cumin (peppery), carrot, wild rosemary (bay leaf), dittander (peppery), lovage (yeasty), lemon balm, bayberry (bay leaf), oregano, Swiss stone pine, sage, sweet violet (thickener), thyme, red clover (vanilla), and fenugreek (maple). *The following greens are available for salads: bracken, angelica, chervil, caraway, celery, cardoon, dandelion, cabbage, turnip, black and white mustard, cucumber, poppy, sorrel and beet. ==The Ethrans== The [[Senjecan_Anatomy_and_Physiology#I._The_Ethrans.|Ethran]]s were the first created of the Loquent Peoples, the Children of Air. They chose to establish their settlements on the tops of the highest mountains. Because they were able to access the "magical" force of the earth, they were able to create great spaces not visible to others. *They chose a seed, [[wikipedia:buckwheat|buckwheat]] (<font color=blue>ħólis</font>) (''Fagopyrum esculentum'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Fagopyrum+esculentum]), as the [[wikipedia:staple food|staple]] of their diet. It figures in the morning meal as pancakes (<font color=blue>lèèpëſĸòrðèxlaíbos</font>) or porridge (<font color=blue>ħolĸúúzos</font>) and in the evening meal as noodles (<font color=blue>ħolvéndos</font>). The buckwheat starch is also made into a "[[wikipedia:memilmuk|jelly]]" which is served as a side dish. *Their special protein source is [[wikipedia:greylag goose|geese]], raised domestically, and other game birds, caught by their [[wikipedia:gyrfalcon|gyrfalcons]] (''Falco rusticolus'') (<font color=blue>ſnìłooćórles</font>) as [[wikipedia:falconry|sport]]. These fowl are most often served grilled or [[wikipedia:confit|preserved]] in goose fat. Goose liver is made into a [[wikipedia:pâté|pâté]], flavored with goose fat, onion, garlic and fenugreek. This is frequently eaten spread on a pancake and rolled up. *The fat of the birds is [[wikipedia:rendering (food processing)|rendered]] for culinary fat. *The Ethrans cultivated the [[wikipedia:rosa canina|rose]] (''Rosa canina'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Rosa+canina]) (<font color=blue>ɱródis</font>) for its beauty, its fragrance, and its taste. The [[wikipedia:rose hip|rose hip]] (<font color=blue>ɱroðóógos</font>) is their fruit of choice. The rose pervades the Ethran culture, appearing as the [[wikipedia:mon (crest)|emblem]] of the Ethrans. When entering an Ethran citadel, one immediately notices the odor of roses. *They make a rose hip [[wikipedia:herbal tea|tisane]] (<font color=blue>ɱroðņíros</font>) as their hot beverage of choice. *The Ethrans drink [[wikipedia:rose water|rose water]] (<font color=blue>ɱroðpóóȝos</font>) as a refreshing cold beverage. *Although honey is available to all the Peoples, only the Ethrans use it to make the fermented beverage [[wikipedia:mead|mead]] (<font color=blue>mééðos</font>). Most often it is flavored with rose, a variety known as rhodomel (<font color=blue>ɱroðɱééðos</font>). They also make a [[wikipedia:brandy|brandy]] from the rose hips. *Their beer is made from [[wikipedia:buckwheat#buckwheat_and_beer|buckwheat]]. *The Ethrans make their vinegar (<font color=blue>ſormééðos</font>) from mead. **[[wikipedia:pickled egg|Pickled goose eggs]] (<font color=blue>ſoróóȝos</font>), flavored with beet juice, are a delicacy. *The Ethrans use [[wikipedia:honey|honey]] (<font color=blue>mélnos</font>) exclusively as a sweetener. *Rose flavor is the sweet spice. *Crocuses are cultivated, as well as roses, and [[wikipedia:saffron|saffron]] (''Crocus sativus'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Crocus+sativus]) (<font color=blue>àriſánis</font>) is their characteristic savory spice. *The typical dessert is a [[wikipedia:zabaglione|custard]] (<font color=blue>ooȝrúϙmos</font>) made from goose eggs, sweetened with honey and flavored with rose water, or unsweetened and topped with rose petal jam. The custard is baked in individual ramekins. *As the only one of the People with access to snow and ice year-round, they also make a rose or saffron [[wikipedia:Sorbet|sorbet]], usually served together to experience the sharp difference in flavor. *Using very thin buckwheat noodles they make a frozen dessert called [[Wikipedia:faloodeh|<font color=blue>pùrſëvéndos</font>]]. Typically, the Ethrans eat their meals at communal tables seated on chairs. Each place setting includes a knife, a two-tined fork, a spoon, a plate and a bowl. Out of respect the dishes of food are placed on the table in front of the eldest, who then serves himself or herself, then passes the dish sunwise to the others. A typical dinner would include hot [[wikipedia:soba|buckwheat noodles]] as the staple, perhaps with a [[Senjecan_cuisine#recipes#Ethran|saffron sauce]] (see recipes) or in a goose broth; a squab or other game bird, grilled and basted with its own fat, honey, and rose water; and cooked vegetables or a fresh salad. The typical dinner would close with an egg custard flavored with attar of roses or, perhaps, attar of roses over shaved ice. Pitchers of beer are placed on the tables. When the diners are finished, they are offered the choice of chilled rose water or a rose tisane. At gatherings away from the dinner table, rhodomel is sipped. ==The Pyrans== The [[Senjecan_Anatomy_and_Physiology#II._The_Pyrans.|Pyran]]s were the second created of the Loquent Peoples, the Children of Fire. They chose to establish their settlements on the flood plains of slow moving rivers. They were goatherds existing primarily on the meat and milk of their goats. *They chose a legume, the [[wikipedia:chickpea|chickpea]] (''Cicer arietinum'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Cicer+arietinum]) (<font color=blue>ħárlis</font>) as the staple of their diet. They are cooked and served cold in salads or included in soups. Every meal is accompanied by [[wikipedia:falafel|<font color=blue>vriigħárlos</font>]] and/or [[wikipedia:papadum|<font color=blue>ĸìrpëħárlos</font>]] which may or may not be flavored. *Although they occasionally eat cheviot, the Pyrans utilize their goats primarily for the production of [[wikipedia:cheese|cheese]] (<font color=blue>ſérdĭos</font>) which constitutes a large part of their protein intake. They make a [[wikipedia:Romano cheese|hard type]] (<font color=blue>tiirſérdĭos</font>) for grating and a [[wikipedia:chabichou|soft type]] (<font color=blue> mèldüſèrdĭos</font>) for slicing and melting, but most of the milk is used to make a [[wikipedia:paneer|fresh cheese]] (<font color=blue>ɱezſérdĭos</font>). Excess [[wikipedia:whey|whey]] (<font color=blue>ĸónos</font>) is used to make a [[wikipedia:ricotta|curd]] (<font color=blue>ténĸos</font>) food. When cheese is being made, some of the fresh curds ([[wikipedia:cheese curds|<font color=blue>ſèrdïténĸos</font>]]) are saved. They are placed on top of fried parsnip slices and heated, a dish known as [[wikipedia:poutine|<font color=blue>ſèrdïnípis</font>]]. **When cheviot is used, it is most often in the form of a dry fennel (<font color=blue>maðúrĸis</font>) -flavored [[wikipedia:sausage|sausage]] (<font color=blue>álĭos</font>). **In the spring when the [[Senjecan_animals#The_Pyrans.|ostriches]] lay their eggs, several are taken for eating. Each household buries one egg to [[wikipedia:century egg|preserve]] it. This egg is then served as a part of the winter solstice celebration. *The goat milk is churned to make [[wikipedia:butter|butter]] (<font color=blue>ϙértos</font>) but it is never kept in this form. Instead, it is clarified. The [[wikipedia:ghee|liquid portion]] (<font color=blue>ìſĸëϙértos</font>) is kept for future use; the remaining solids are used immediately. *The Pyrans cultivated the [[wikipedia:prunus spinosa|sloe berry]] (''Prunus spinosa'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Prunus+spinosa]) (<font color=blue>ſlííɱĸis</font>) as their fruit of choice, enjoying the fruit's astringency. Sloe hedges are used to make the pens where the goats are kept at night. *A hot tisane is made from the sloe berries. *A chilled sloe tisane is drunk as a cold beverage. *The Pyrans make a fermented beverage from whey and a [[wikipedia:sloe gin|liqueur]] from the sloe berries. *The Pyrans make their vinegar (<font color=blue>ſorĸonos</font>) from whey. *Sloe syrup is used as a sweetener. *[[wikipedia:fennel|Fennel]] (''Foeniculum vulgare'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Foeniculum+vulgare]) (<font color=blue>maðúrĸis</font>) is the sweet spice. Fennel is used in many ways and the anise-like flavor pervades the Pyran cuisine. The bulb is eaten raw or cooked in a variety of ways. The dried or fresh leaves and seeds are used to flavor dishes. *Horseradish (''Armoracia rusticana'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Armoracia+rusticana]) (<font color=blue>ĸàvrëɱéérdis</font>) is the characteristic savory spice. *The usual dessert is fennel-flavored whey curd or unflavored and topped with sloe syrup. In the spring, a custard is made from an ostrich egg and eaten at the vernal equinox celebration. *The [[wikipedia:holy trinity (cuisine)|culinary trinity]] is ghee, fennel and onion. The Pyrans eat as family units at tables seated on chairs. Each place setting includes a knife, a two-tined fork, a spoon, a plate and a bowl. A typical dinner would include roasted or grilled cheviot or ostrich, a cooked fennel dish (perhaps with a cheese sauce) a salad including fresh dill, accompanied by a warm or chilled sloe tisane, and the ever present <font color=blue>vriiϙħálos</font> or <font color=blue>ĸìrpëħárlos</font>. The dinner would close with fresh cheese sweetened with sloe syrup. ==The Hydorans== The [[Senjecan_Anatomy_and_Physiology#III._The_Hydorans.|Hydoran]]s were the third created of the Loquent Peoples, the Children of Water. They chose to establish their settlements on the shores and shallows of marshes and lakes. *They chose a reed, the [[wikipedia:typha|cattail]] (reedmace) (<font color=blue>ĸurðis</font>) (''Typha latifolia'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Typha+latifolia]) that grows so abundantly in their environment, as the staple of their diet. Because of the many uses of the cattail, it figures prominently in their culture. It is, therefore, the [[wikipedia:mon (crest)|emblem]] of the Hydorans. *Their environment has determined the protein source of the Hydorans, various water animals, mainly fish and frogs. Fish are preserved by [[wikipedia:stockfish|drying]] (<font color=blue>mimćĭos</font>). *Although tiny, the seeds of the cattail pose no problem to the Hydorans who press them for an edible cooking oil. *The [[wikipedia:cranberry|cranberry]] (''Vaccinium oxycoccos'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Vaccinium+oxycoccos]) (<font color=blue>ĸitemĭis</font>) is the favorite fruit of the Hydorans. *Mint tisane is their hot beverage of choice. *A chilled mint tisane is drunk as a cold beverage. *A [[wikipedia:fruit wine|fruit wine]] and a [[wikipedia:brandy|brandy]] are made from cranberries. *The Hydorans make their vinegar (<font color=blue>ſorĸitemĭis</font>) from cranberries. **The Hydorans make a cranberry relish. They also pickle fish in this vinegar. *Cattail syrup is used as a sweetener. *[[wikipedia:mentha aquatica|Water mint]] (''Mentha aquatica'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Mentha+aquatica]) (<font color=blue>ɱefluϙſamis</font>), which grows profusely in water environments, is the characteristic sweet spice of the Hydorans, appearing in many of their dishes. *[[wikipedia:water cress|Water cress]] (''Nasturium officinale'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Nasturtium+officinale]) (<font color=blue>aɱdyðemnis</font>) is used as a savory spice. *The typical dessert is a dish of cranberries, sweetened with mint-flavored cattail syrup. *The [[wikipedia:holytrinity (cuisine)|culinary trinity]] is cattail oil, water cress and onion. The Hydorans eat while seated on the floor. A rush mat is set before each of them on which are placed the various dishes of the meal. The Hydorans seldom use table utensils except for a spoon. The main dinner food is fish served in a variety of ways, perhaps grilled or, more typically, in a kind of [[wikipedia:chowder|chowder]] or [[wikipedia:bouillabaise|bouillabaise]] (hence the spoon). This is eaten with [[wikipedia:papadum|<font color=blue>ĸirpyħarlos</font>]] made from cattail flour. ==The Humans== The [[Senjecan_Anatomy_and_Physiology#IV._The_Humans.|Human]]s were the fourth created of the Loquent Peoples, the Children of Earth. They chose to establish their settlements on the steppes and became skilled [[wikipedia:tarpan|horsemen]]. *They chose a seed, the [[wikipedia:lentil|lentil]] (<font color=blue>edaaĸis</font>) (''Lens culinaris'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Lens+culinaris]), the planting and harvesting of which is the work of the women, as the staple of their diet. Most frequently it is served in the form of fried (<font color=blue>vriigedaaĸis</font>) or [[wikipedia:vada|steamed]] (<font color=blue>nemvedaaĸis</font>) cakes. When accompanying a meal, they are unflavored. *Game taken ahorseback is the main source of the Humans' protein, although horse flesh is eaten as needed to keep the herds manageable. *The annual proliferation of [[wikipedia:corn poppy|poppies]] (''Papaver rhoeas'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Papaver+rhoeas]) (<font color=blue>maakenis</font>) enables the Humans to harvest the seeds and press them for an edible cooking oil. The poppy is the emblem of the Humans. *The [[wikipedia:cherry plum|cherry plum]] (''Prunus cerasifera'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Prunus+cerasifera]) (<font color=blue>ſliiɱis</font>) is the fruit of choice of the Humans. A wall of these trees surrounds the Humans' compounds. *The cherry plum is used to prepare a cold beverage, either the juice by itself or as an ade. *The Humans drink mare's milk as a hot beverage. In the spring, when eggs are available from ground-nesting birds, an [[wikipedia:eggnog|eggnog]] is made, sweetened with poppy syrup. *The Humans make a fermented beverage from [[wikipedia:kumis|mare's milk]] and a [[wikipedia:brandy|brandy]] from cherry plums. *Vinegar is made from the juice of the cherry plum. *Distillation of the petals of the poppy produces a sweet red syrup. *Sweet desserts are flavored with poppy seed. *[[wikipedia:basil|Wild basil]] (''Ocimum basilicum'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Ocimum+basilicum]) is the savory spice that flavors their meat dishes. A [[wikipedia:pesto|sauce]] is made from fresh basil for use in the winter. The floor of the home is strewn with basil leaves. *When served as a dessert the <font color=blue>vriigedaaĸis</font> or <font color=blue>nemvedaaĸis</font> batter is sweetened with poppy syrup and the cakes are rolled in poppy seeds or spread with cherry plum jam. *The [[wikipedia:holy trinity (cuisine)|culinary trinity]] is poppy seed oil, basil and onion. The Humans eat while seated on the floor around a wooden table. A knife, fork and spoon are the utensils used. The typical meal consists of some cut of grilled meat, either horse or game. Lentil cakes are served, perhaps with a basil sauce. This is accompanied by an assortment of vegetables, raw or cooked. There may be fresh cheese made from mares' milk. When herding the horses on the steppes, the men take with them smoked meat and <font color=blue>vriigedaaĸis</font>. Mare's milk is always available. ==The Xylans== The [[Senjecan_Anatomy_and_Physiology#V._The_Xylans.|Xylan]]s were the fifth created of the Loquent Peoples, the Children of Wood. They chose to live in the forests. *They chose a nut, the [[wikipedia:acorn|acorn]] (<font color=blue>meðtos</font>), the fruit of the ubiquitous oak trees, especially of ''Quercus robur'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Quercus+robur], as the primary staple of their diet. The tannins present in acorns do not affect the Xylans and they seldom leach the acorns. Other nuts are also used. The acorn is the emblem of the Xylans. *The various nutmeats consumed by the Xylans constitute their primary source of protein. *The Xylans press acorns and other nut kernels, especially the [[wikipedia:Corylus avellana|hazelnut]] (''Corylus avellana'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Corylus+avellana]) (<font color=blue>ĸoſlis</font>), to obtain cooking oil. *The Xylans enjoy the [[wikipedia:wild cherry|wild cherry]] (''Prunus avium'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Prunus+avium]) (<font color=blue>ĸønis</font>) as their favorite fruit. *The acorn, when dried and powdered and, in this case, leached, is used to brew a hot beverage similar to coffee. Alternatively, they brew a spicy tea from juniper berries. *The Xylans make a cold beverage from the sap of various trees, most especially the [[wikipedia:birch sap|silver birch]] (''Betula pendula''[http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Betula+pendula]) (<font color=blue>verϙis</font>). *The Xylans enjoy their [[wikipedia:fruit wine|wild cherry wine]] and [[wikipedia:brandy|brandy]]. They make a beer from the needles of the [[wikipedia:spruce beer|spruce]] or other evergreen. *The Xylans make their vinegar from tree sap. Most of the time they flavor it with juniper. *Tree sap, especially that of the various species of [[wikipedia:maple|maple]] tree, is used as a sweetener either in liquid form or crystallized. *[[wikipedia:garden angelica|Wild angelica]] (''Angelica sylvestris'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Angelica+sylvestris]) (<font color=blue>ćunðonis</font>), with its licorice-like flavor is their favorit sweet spice. *The fruit of the [[wikipedia:juniper|juniper]] (''Juniperus communis'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Juniperus+communis]) (<font color=blue>elenis</font>) serves as the Xylans' savory spice. *Angelica candied in a tree sap sugar is their favorite sweet. *The [[wikipedia:holy trinity (cuisine)|culinary trinity]] is hazel oil, juniper and onion. The Xylans are vegetarians who live isolated lives so their dining habits are individual. The eat sitting, standing, walking. They use whatever utensils are needed. Their jaws are powerful enough to crack open acorns. A good portion of their food is eaten raw. They do make a [[wikipedia:dotorimuk|"jelly"]] from acorns. This is sweetened with sap and mixed with bits of cherries and crushed nuts before gelling. It is also made unsweetened and flavored with juniper, then served with an assortment of cooked vegetables. ==The Lithans== The [[Senjecan_Anatomy_and_Physiology#VI._The_Lithans.|Lithan]]s were the sixth and last created of the Loquent Peoples, the Children of Stone. They chose to establish their settlements in the mountains. *They chose a grain, [[wikipedia:sorghum|sorghum]] (''Sorghum bicolor'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Sorghum+bicolor]), as the staple of their diet. *The Lithans chose the mountains as their home in order to perform their assigned task as miners and smiths. They discovered that [[wikipedia:mushroom|mushrooms]] would flourish in their caves and mines and they developed varieties of many sizes, colors and flavors. They are the main source of protein in their diet. The mushroom figures as the emblem of the Lithans. *The Lithans grow [[wikipedia:flax|flax]] [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Linum+usitatissimum]) and from the seed they press oil for eating and for lighting. The fibers of the plant are used to make linen. *The Lithans enjoy the [[wikipedia:elderberry|elderberry]] (''Sambucus nigra'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Sambucus+nigra]) as their favorite fruit. *A tisane is brewed from dried elderberry blossoms; often lemon balm is added. This is drunk either hot or cold. *A [[wikipedia:beer|beer]] is made from the sorghum. The Lithans also make an elderberry [[wikipedia:brandy|brandy]], an elderberry wine, and a [[wikipedia:baijiu|sorghum liquor]]. *The Lithans make their vinegar from elderberry wine. *The Lithans extract a sweet syrup from sorghum. *[[wikipedia:lemon balm|Lemon balm]] (''Melissa officinalis'' [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Melissa+officinalis]) is the sweet spice. *Parsley [http://pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Petroselinum+crispum] is the characteristic savory spice. Parsley root, a favorite vegetable, is grown in the home gardens. *dessert *The [[wikipedia:holy trinity (cuisine)|culinary trinity]] is linseed oil, parsley and mushrooms.

At first reading that might sound rather unegaliterian, but it's based on pragmatism; i.e. the far larger number of speakers of German and English than the other languages and the similarity of Dutch in many respects to German. ==Phonology and orthography== ===Summary=== My preferred phonology can be summed up as this: *Long and short versions of /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ (and possibly /y/) *The diphthongs /au/ and /ai/, and the sort-of-diphthong /iu/. The diphthongs are really just combinations of the other vowels - i.e. they contain no new/other sounds. *English/German consonants with /ʃ/ and /x/, no /θ/ or /ð/, /w/ as an alternative to /v/ My preferred orthography can be summed up as this: *'Classical Latin-style' vowels and consonants plus <w>/<v>, <h>/<ch>, <sh>/<sch> for /w/, /x/ and /ʃ/ (difficult to decide, as Latin didn't have an extra letter for /w/ and didn't have the /ʃ/ and /x/ sounds) *Vowels are short if unstressed or if followed by two or more consonants. *As well as the unstressed syllables in polysyllabic words, certain groups (articles, interrogatives, prepositions, demonstratives, monosyllabic pronouns) monosyllabic words are considered 'unstressed', and thus do not need two consonants to mark a short vowel ===Full Table=== <table width="700px"> <tr> <td>Phoneme</td> <td>Orthography</td> <td>Pronunciation (IPA)</td> <td>Proto-Germanic origin</td> <td>Example word</td> <td>Meaning of word</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Short vowels</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/a/</td> <td>aCC (C=consonant) or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[a], [ɑ], [æ], [ɐ]</td> <td>Mostly /a/</td> <td>mann</td> <td>man</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/e/</td> <td>eCC or unstressed, <e> followed by <g> (alternative prono.)</td> <td>[ɛ], [e] is acceptable, [ə] when unstressed</td> <td>i-muated /a/, dimunition of other vowels</td> <td>et</td> <td>it</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/i/</td> <td>iCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ɪ], [i] acceptable</td> <td>/i/ mostly</td> <td>in</td> <td>in</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/o/</td> <td>oCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ɔ], [ɒ], [o] acceptable</td> <td>/u/ with a-mutation, /a/</td> <td>frost</td> <td>frost</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/u/</td> <td>uCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ʊ], [u] acceptable, and possibly also [ʏ] if /y/ is not a separate phoneme</td> <td>/u/ without mutation</td> <td>uss</td> <td>us</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/y/</td> <td>yCC or unstressed non-terminal</td> <td>[ʏ], [y] acceptable</td> <td>/u/ with i-mutation</td> <td>rygg</td> <td>back (ridge is cognate)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Long vowels</td> </tr> <tr> <td>/aː/</td> <td>aC stressed, terminal a</td> <td>[aː], [ɑː], [ɐː] (poss.

"iss" is probably best recommended for singular, and "ar" for plural, with "bi" being an option for first and second persons if you find "iss" jarring (as I do slightly). Use of any of these three for any person is totally correct though, as is use of "wes". The past is "was" or "war", again with "was" perhaps best used for singular and "war" for plural, but usage of either for any person is fine. The past participal is "wesen". The past and past participal of regular verbs are identical and are formed with <-d> or <-t> (or <-ed> if the verb ends in <d> or <t>).Many common verbs have an optional 'strong' (i.e. ablauted, and thus irregular) form which is usually different in the past perfect and past participal. It is perfectly legitimate to use the regular form of all verbs though, even "wes(e)" (to be) if you want, and thus all that is required of the learner is to passively understand the irregular past tenses. Examples of strong verbs are as follows (present -> past -> past participal): swimm -> swamm -> swummen (optionally "swimmd" instead) ...means "to swim" find -> fand -> funden (optionally "finded") ...means "to find" se -> sa -> sen (optionally "sed") ...means "to see" raid -> red -> ridden (optionally "raided") ...means "to ride" et -> at -> eten (eted) ...means "to eat" flig -> flog -> flogen (fligd) ...means "to fly" giv -> gav -> given (givd) ...means "to give" A slight exception in that the irregularity is not due to ablaut is "hav(e)" (to have) which is "hadd" or "havd" in the past and past participal. Another is "wes(e)" (to be) which is " ==Articles== The definite article is <de>, pronounced /də/ (or /dɛ/ or /deː/ if stressed), and the indefinite article is <en> pronounced /ən/ (or /ɛn/ or /eːn/ if stressed). ==Adjectives and adverbs== As there's no gender or case system, adjectives are not affected by what they describe, so "de gryn haus" and "en gryn waiv" (the green house, a green woman/wife). Adverbs do not need an extra "-lig" suffix like "-ly" in most UK English, so "ig ga snell" (I go quickly) not "ig ga snellig". Both "snell" and "snellig" are correct, but there's no need for the "-lig" suffix. ==Word order== Word order is really flexible and largely down to the speaker. Subject-verb-object order is normal really, and should come naturally to most speakers as this is the default/basic order in the Germanic and Romance languages and in Chinese. You're more than welcome to say "ig de fud et" instead of "ig et de fud" (I eat the food) if you really want to or for artistic purposes as the meaning's still utterly clear though! For questions one can use S-V-O order and raise your voice at the end or add ", ne?", or you can use V-S-O order with raising your voice, so "et ig de fud?". You can of course not raise your voice, but beware this may mean the sentence is taken as a mere statement as VSO order is OK for statements too! ==Prepositions etc.== Here are some common prepostions and other little words and their meaning: *"in" means "in" *"up" or "upan" (also "upán", "up-an" - said /u'pan/) mean "on" *"bai" or "baisaid" (also "baisáid", "bai-said" - said /bai'said/) means beside - "besaid" might be more natural, although less immediately clear for non-English speakers *"av" means "of" *"fron" means "from" *"aut" means "out" *"turch" means "through" *"over" means "over" or "above" *"under" means "under" or "below" Terzemian 3763 52102 2010-03-02T13:23:57Z Paul.w.bennett 301 /* Cases */ typo {{IPA|}} {{Infobox|name=Terzemian|pronounce=tɜ˞ˈzɛj.mjən|tu=Possible [[League of Lost Languages|LLL]] candidate|script=Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, UTA|tree=Unique PIE, influences from Kartvelian, Turkic, Persian, Uralic and Slavic|morph=Mixed|ms=Lexically Split-S|wo=VSO|creator=[[User:Paul.w.bennett|Paul.w.bennett]]|date=}} =Overview= Terzemian is an [[Wikipedia:Indo-European|IE-derived]] conlang located along the west coast of the Caspian Sea.

In the modern era, a modified Latin alphabet is used. During the Soviet era, Cyrillic was used, and can still be found. Before the Soviet era, a form of the [[Wikipedia:Uniform Turkic Alphabet|UTA]] was used alongside Arabic. The Arabic script can still be found in general use in certain areas, as well as among the Muslim population throughout the region. Despite (or perhaps because) the fact that the move to the Latin script was a deliberate process to reflect post-Soviet independence, there is also a small folkish movement to return to the UTA script. In short, the learner of Terzemian should concentrate on learning the Latin script, but should be prepared to encounter Cyrillic, UTA, and Arabic on a more or less daily basis. ==Logical Layout== The following tables illustrate the writing systems with a layout that is in accordance with the Phonology tables above. ===Modern Latin=== {|border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center" |align = "center"|p b |align = "center"|&nbsp;

This Hantic site will for the time being focus on the earliest version of the language: Proto-Hantic. ==Proto-Hantic Background== Hantic, even in the context of the conworld, is not a natural language. It was specifically and intentionally created, supposedly by a certain mythical denizen of the conworld, the Hant. In other words, it is a con-conlang. In con-worldish actuality, it was created by a charlatan who associated his language with the name of the Hant in order to deceive his students into believing he was in possession of arcane knowledge -- so Proto-Hantic could even be described as a con-con-conlang. Proto-Hantic is a pseudo-philosophical constructed language based on a system of 400 consonantal pairs, each of which, when realized through the six vowels, yields a collection of roots that are related by morphology and by the "attributes" the consonantal pair supposedly encodes. The system was never intended to be taxonomic or derivationally productive -- it was intended merely to give the illusion of systematicity. The ascription of meaning to the 2400 roots was both arbitrary and pragmatic: it yielded the necessary terms for using the language as a pseudo-system of magical incantation, but it did not provide a complete lexicon for use in everyday life. Generally speaking, among the six roots from each consonant pair there was usually one verbal root, an adjectival or adverbial root, and a number of nominal roots, though the specific realization depended on the idiosyncrasies of the language creator. Later attempts at reconstructing the "system" of vowel alternation will create competing, and hotly debated, theories about the "ablaut" system of the earliest instantiations of the Hantic language. Proto-Hantic, despite its ignoble and deceitful beginnings, will eventually (after about 3000 years of development) evolve into the premier literary and artistic language of the Talliscine civilization, my principal concivilization. NB: ANY of the inflections presented below are subject to immediate revision based upon whether I think sound-change alterations are resulting in phonologies for descendant languages that I like. As George W. Bush is wont to say, "I am the decider", so sayeth the conlanger. ==Proto-Hantic Phonology== '''Phonological Inventory:''' *Plosives: /p b t_d d_d t d k g/ < p b td dd t d k g > *Fricatives: /f v T D s z x G/ <f v th dh s z x gh> *Nasals: /m n/ <m n> *Liquids: /l r/ <l r> *Vowels: /a e i o u y/ <a e i o u y> NB: The orthography here is merely for my own benefit in attempting to read what I am creating. Proto-Hantic was originally written with a logographic writing system that I have not invented yet. Compound words are separated in this orthography by a hyphen, so this orthography does not present ambiguities with medial consonant clusters in compounds. '''Vowel Harmony:''' Vowel harmony is both progressive and regressive. Based upon the vowel of the root, the vowels of prefixes and affixes will align along a front/back axis. Vowel harmony is broken in compounded roots -- prefixes will align with the first root and suffixes will align with the second. *Front vowels: [i] and [y] *Back vowels: [o] and [u] *Neutral vowels: [e] and [a] Where an affix does not have a prescribed neutral vowel, the vowel of the affix is [o] for back-vowel roots, [i] for front-vowel roots, [e] for [e]-roots, and [a] for [a]-roots. '''Syllable Structure:''' strictly (C)V(C) In principle, any consonant may articulate against any other consonant within compounds or across word boundaries. Allophony is not being considered in the phonology of the protolanguage because I am assuming that the first stimuli for sound-change into descendant dialects will be allophonic compensations for natural difficulties with consonant clusters within compounds and across word boundaries. '''Prosody:''' The language is pragmatically stress-timed with regular stress placed on the root, or in the case of compounds, on the second root. Prosodic stress will (I think) also provide a plausible instigation for sound change, both in stressed and non-stressed segments. ==Morphosyntactic Alignment== Strict ergative morphological and syntactic alignment, (as purely ergative as I can make it). NB: It is my intention that the MSA will also evolve during the development of the language, possibly developing a split- then fluid-S system, and ultimately a system that has both ergative-absolutive and nomitive-accusative features. '''Core Cases:''' *Absolutive: sole argument of intransitives, object of transitives, theme of ditransitives *Ergative: subject of transitives and ditransitives *Dative: recipient of ditransitives '''Oblique Cases:''' *Locative *Genitive *Ablative *Instrumental *Vocative Word order is generally VSO, but due to the case system, it is relatively free. (I am sort-of assuming that this particular case system will break down fairly quickly, but I don't yet have a rationale for why.) Adverbial phrase order is Time-Manner-Place, and these phrases are generally sentence final, though time adverbials will often precede the verb. My intent is that the ultimate literary language will have a strict, even rigid, OSV word order. ==Nominal Morphology== '''Noun Classes:''' *Animate: (intelligent, supernatural, animal, natural forces) *Non-animate: (vegetable and inanimate material) NB: Only the animate class may take the ergative case in the protolanguage. (This distinction will eventually be entirely lost, probably.) '''Number/Definiteness Inflections:''' *Singular/Indef: -s *Singular/Def: -0 *Plural/Indef: -n *Plural/Def: -k NB: Nominal roots are inflected first for number and definiteness. Case inflections are then added to the resulting stem. The vocative is "additive" and can be combined with all of the other cases except the ergative. When there is the requirement that the vocative and ergative be combined, the fusional prefix is "gho-". '''Case Inflections:''' *Absolutive: -0 *Ergative: de- *Dative: -em *Genitive: -en *Locative: -t *Ablative: -r *Instrumental: -p *Vocative: va- ==Verbal Morphology== '''Verbal Inflection:''' Verbs conjugate for person, number, and aspect. Verbal agreement for person and number is with the '''absolutive''' argument. (This peculiar agreement will probably remain throughout the evolution of the language.) NB: Verbal roots are inflected first for person and number. Aspectual and mood inflections are then added to the resulting stem. Vowel harmony is observed also in verbal inflection. '''Person:''' The persons are the standard 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It is always understood, however, that the "magical" invoker is the 1st person, the "magically" invoked is the 2nd, and the 3rd is anything peripheral to the relationship between the invoker and invoked. There is no method whatsoever for indirect discourse. '''Number:''' The numbers are simply singular and plural. (I'm not yet sure how this might evolve.) '''Person/Number Inflections:''' *1st S: -v *2nd S: -dd *3rd S: 0 *1st P: -z *2nd P: -dh *3rd P: -m '''Tense/Aspect:''' The aspects are punctuative and iterative: *Punctuative aspect indicates that the action of the verb occurs only once. *Iterative aspect indicates that the action of the verb occurs repeatedly. The punctuative aspect will probably quickly come to be used as a quasi-narrative past. These aspects will eventually evolve into a system of aorist, perfect, and imperfective aspects with temporal associations and uses. NB: It is pretty clear that this aspect system will not work with certain verbal types. I hope that the deficiencies of this system will also provide stimulus to invent among those who would use the language as a language of every-day life. There is no morphological tense in Proto-Hantic. Indeed, as a language for "magical" incantation, the speech act is mostly concerned with the present in the forms of invocation and command. '''Mood:''' Moods are indicative, imperative, and conditional. There is no irrealis whatsoever (another exploitable instability). '''Aspect/Mood Inflections:''' *Punct. Ind.: 0 *Punct. Imp.: -at *Punct. Cond.: -af *Iter. Ind.: -e *Iter. Imp.: -et *Iter. Cond.: -ef '''Voice:''' Proto-Hantic admits no voice-changing operations, though the final descendant language will, I hope, have a rich voice-changing system with certain of the less-often-used voices having interesting temporal and aspectual associations and uses. ==Pronouns== Proto-Hantic has a symmetrical system of distal and proximate pronouns, including in the first person. A distal 1st person is somewhat odd as a linguistic concept, but it is used heavily in Proto-Hantic: *to refer to oneself while in an altered state of consciousness (vision quest, out-of-body state) *to make a mind (distal) / body (proximate) distinction *to refer to spell/spellcaster, causer/agent distinctions (these alternations are actually fairly elaborated, but I won't bore the reader here). In the 2nd and 3rd person, the distal and proximate pronouns are used to refer to persons or objects either distal or proximate to the speaker, as one might expect. This distal/proximate distinction in the pronouns will probably eventually be lost. The 1st person pronouns may evolve into clitics used in a kind of agent/instrument construct state, the 2nd person pronouns into a familiar/polite distinction (maybe), and the 3rd person into demonstratives (probably). Demonstrative-like constructions can be achieved in Proto-Hantic by simply stating the appropriate pronoun followed by the substantive. '''Pronouns:''' *1st prox.: tdu *2nd prox.: tda *3rd prox.: tdo *1st dist: lu *2nd dist: la *3rd dist: lo NB: Strangely, pronouns are not inflected for number (go figure -- another potential instability to exploit in the development of the language). ==Relative Clauses== Proto-Hantic does not have a very robust process for relativization. It simply uses a relative particle with proximate pronouns. This construct simply incorporates an entire clause in normal word order into the NP. These relativizations look more like appositives than genuine relatives. ==Interrogatives== Proto-Hantic, as a ritual language, does not have a method for interrogation. (Yet another instability ripe for invention.)

I sometimes have depressive episodes, and very occasionally something that might be mild mania. I used to have incredibly severe anger-management issues, but I'm much better now, though I do still tend to get frustrated at my own failures. I consistently score exceptionally well on standardized IQ tests (including a 200, and an "off the chart", both in professionally-administered tests), and on exams in general, though I am terrible at completing homework / coursework / projects / etc. Most of my schooling was therefore carried out in "Special Education" for kids with problems in their behavior and in getting work done. I suspect it helped tremendously in making me more well-balanced emotionally, but I also suspect it held back my academic achievements significantly -- kids at that school were mainly expected to get just one or two GCSEs, or in American terms to only graduate with a passing grade in one or two subjects. =I'm a fat, hairy dwarf= I'm 5'8", with red hair down to my shoulder blades (which almost always stays in a pony tail), and a beard that varies in shape and length, usually seasonally, unless I get bored with it. As of March 2007, I'm sporting a full set, at around 3/4 of an inch long (though I keep the moustache trimmed enough that my mouth isn't obscured), having trimmed off the 3 inch winter growth when the weather started warming up. I am neither Lithuanian nor Left-Handed. I do not wear glasses, contacts, a monocle, or other sight aids. =Shh. Don't talk about the Cross & Crown. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.= My politics are of the Minarchist persuasion. I'm a middle-of-the-road Protestant, and an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. I have followed a number of other faiths and philosophies in the past. =Computing= I have been a shameless computer geek since about the age of 4. I was typing before I could write, and indeed programming before I started school. I'm an IT contractor by trade, and I've turned my hand to a fair selection of projects over the years. Right now, I'm on a contract for a major ISP/telco, doing Perl, SQL and Javascript development of a CRM and abuse-tracking application. I also custom-build workstation-grade high-performance PCs for fun and profit. My personal machine is a Core2 Duo E6300 with 4GB of DDR2-800 and a pair of 320GB SATA hard drives. My next personal project is going to be a media center. =Correctness is defined by widespread usage= Linguistically, I'm a prescriptivist whose rulebook consists of statistics from Google for the usage in question. =My Hovercraft is full of Eels= I speak English and rusty German, and can read enough Danish, French and Spanish to fix most things that Babelfish breaks. I know enough about how several other languages work (including Russian, Latin, Greek) to be able to just about figure out some texts, provided I have the Internet available. Starting to learn languages is something of a hobby. Finishing learning them? Not so much. In the last year (as of January 2008), I have started learning Russian, Czech, Sumerian, Hittite, Armenian, Japanese, Inuktitut, and Ojibwe -- some of those not for the first time. My long term goal is to be able to converse adequately in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Hindi, (Eastern) Arabic and Mandarin, plus any others that seem interesting. =My Projectses= I'm given to starting many projects and finishing few of them. On deck right now are a PIE reference book (to be published by lulu.com), a set of additional glyphs for SIL Gentium (trying to find the right license to let anyone and everyone edit my source, but allow SIL to incorporate the new glyphs into the main font, which is SIL OFL), the [[Uínlītska]] language, and parts of an MMORPG engine. My conlang projects, in approximate (and fuzzy) chronological order of being started, are: * Common - An attempt at a modern Germanic/Romance koine. About as naive and unsophisticated as an auxlang can be, in fact. * Polyparlisho - Another auxlang. I blame ''The Loom Of Language'' right on top of learning Esperanto for the horrifically stereotypical structure of this language. * Orkish had four phonemes. Nuff said. * Trollish existed only as a logographic writing system. * Bennett was a codelang created by me and my brother. It was almost purely a logographic script for English (with ideographs for case and prepositions), with a mixture of a substitution cypher of the IPA and ideographic determinatives for proper nouns and words for which there were no logograms. Years later, I kept a journal using what I remembered of the script. * Wenetaic ** The first incarnation was pretty much utterly naive and a priori, and proved to be utterly untranslatable in the two relays it was entered in. I think this was because of the complex and large set of fusional "directionals", which combined aspect, deixis, case, gender and a number of other things, and sometimes had lexical meanings, though it also had two classes of reduplication thrown in. The vocab was pulled from a selection of languages based on essentially whatever struck me when I needed a new word. ** The second incarnation had a stronger a postieriori basis for the vocabulary, and ditched the reduplication. It kept a smaller and more orthogonal set of directionals, though. * Meynian was a "Nostratic" (actually noodled-around-with IE) a posteriori language. It had ablaut, a more manageable case system, no gender marking on nouns, a huge pronoun set, a small and simple verbal morphology, and my first real derivational system. * Thagojian ** The first incarnation had IIRC 288 consonants in a nice, orthogonal, 5-dimensional grid. It made extensive use of consonant mutation and Arabic-style vowel frame morphology. It proved unlearnable to the highest degree. ** The second incarnation massively simplified the morphology and phonology, borrowed some concepts from the second version of Wenetaic, and became an IE language located in the Levant, with Coptic, Arabic, Turkish, and Hebrew adstrates, with vowel harmony. For all my efforts, it was essentially stillborn. ** The third incarnation forked into two projects, Thag 3A and Thag 3B. The former is in the spirit of the second incarnation, but is on hiatus, and the latter became Terzemian. * mQlò was a toylang based on my discovery that I could simultaneously articulate a fully-nasal airstream with tone while producing clicks while producing phonation effects while controlling rounding. I scared *myself* with that one, and shelved it rapidly. * Lizardman is/was a project that I feel I didn't give a fair shake to. It was designed for a species without a vaulted palatte, and without prehensile lips. With a small, orthogonal phoneme set, and a large set of derivations, it should have gone far. I found it one of the easiest projects to translate into, in fact, but it has floundered. * [[Tsa'in]] is mostly an experiment, almost but not quite an engelang. I'm playing with phonology, and trying out some things I don't normally dabble in. It has a whiff of the Meso-American about it, as well as a dash of East Asia. * [[Br'ga]] is conlocated on a small, isolated tropical island. It has a bizarre phoneme set, a nonobvious gender and pronoun system, and very many derivational opperations, working much like Inuit or something. The verbs of motion worked by lexicallizing direction and deriving for manner, unlike European languages that generally lexicalize manner and derive or use adverbs for direction. Think "traverse quickly" instead of "run along". Morphology was via ablaut and suffixes. Some suffixes caused umlaut, and some harmonized. There was a suffix of /ː/... * [[Terzemian]] is an IE language, related to the Indo-Slavic metabranch, based on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. It has Turkic, Uralic, Kartvelian, Persian, and Russian influences, among others. I am working on Latin, UTA, Cyrillic and Arabic orthographies for it. It was my main project, but Uínlītska caught my eye during a low point. * [[Uínlītska]] is a Norse language, with influences from European and Native American languages. In theory it's part of a whole series of languages for an AU centered on the ''Norse Territory of [[Uínlīta]]'', a modern continuation of the colonization of Vínland. Work tends to be sporadic, and deliberately so: I'm trying to concentrate on Terzemian, my book, and my [[User:Paul.w.bennett/CSMF|sound change engine]]. * [[Hibernic]] will be situated in the same AU as Uínlītska, being the language of mostly-Celtic settlers who arrived a couple of generations later. * The [[Uínlīta (AU)|conworld containing Uínlīta]] will be developed over time. Right now, I have a billion ideas, and no structure. * I'm building a guess at [[User:Paul.w.bennett/piephon|PIE Phonetics]]. * I doodle [[User:Paul.w.bennett/Doodle|here]] from time to time. =Special Thanks= Userboxish thing taken from Joerg and BPJ. Mahabhadhuphu 3772 20289 2007-03-18T18:48:44Z JonMoore 90 /* Alphabet */ '''Mahabhadhuphu''' (Eng: Mamanuphian; Mamanuphian: ''Mahaφξaθξoπξo'') is a language isolate. It is an ergative-absolutive language, leading some scholars to surmise that it may be related to Basque. [[Mahabhadhuphu lexicon]], [[Mahabhadhuphu vocabulary]] ==Alphabet== The Mamanuphian alphabet (arewebhethu, ''aρefeφξedξo'') is based on ancient Etruscan, and has somewhat of a look of a mixture of Greek (Garekhey, ''Xaρecξeq'') and Latin (Rubhadhey, ''Ρoφξaθξeq'') alphabets. Until 1945, the alphabet had no minuscule letters. In an effort to modernize the alphabet, the letters were given their closest Latin or Greek shapes. This process was based totally on the shape of the original letter, and thus some letters have different sounds than their Greek or Latin counterparts. If the majuscule was the same in both Latin and Greek, the Latin minuscule form won out. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" |'''Mah.'''||Aa||Cc||Dd||Ee||Ff||Hh||Θθ||Mm||Nn||ξ||Oo||Ππ||Qq||Ρρ||Rr||Vv||Xx||Φφ |- |'''Latin'''||A||K||T||E||W||H||D||M||N||*||U||P||Y||R||Rr**||Ng||G||B |- |'''IPA'''||/a/||/k/||/t/||/e/||/w/||/h/||/d/||/ɱ/||/n̪/||||/u/||/p/||/j/||/ɺ/||/ʀ/||/ŋ/||/g/||/b/ |- ||'''Name'''||Arew||Kabhu||Terethu||Epheru||Waw||Hethu||Dethu||Mu||Nu||Hu||Ubhekheru||Pu||Yuphu||Ru||Arru||Ngepheru||Gu||Bu |- ||'''Mah. name'''||Aρef||Caφξo||Deρedξo||Eπξeρo||Faf||Hedξo||Θedξo||Mo||No||Ho||Oφξecξeρo||Πo||Qoπξo||Ρo||Aro||Veπξeρo||Xu||Φo |- |} <nowiki>*</nowiki>The letter ''ξ'' is used to show aspiration of the previous stop consonant (eg., b > bʰ, p > pʰ, etc.) It may also be written as a circumflex (^ rutheghu, ''ρodξexξo'') over the letter. Since current morphology requires that all stop consonants are aspirated intervocalically, the hu or rutheghu is often left out as redundant. For example, the name of the language, ''Mahaφξaθξoπξo'' (Mahabhadhuphu) is often spelt ''Mahaφaθoπ0o'', but ''φξaqaπξav'' (bhayaphang: island) would still be spelt ''φξaqaπav'' (with the initial ''ξ'' after the ''φ'' remaining). This guide will use official spelling with the ''ξ'' left in tact. ''ξ'' has no majuscule. <nowiki>**</nowiki> There are two "R" sounds in Mahamanuphian. The first, represented by the letter ''ρ'' is an alveolar lateral flap, similar to the letter "R" as pronounced in Japanese, the second is represented by the letter ==Orthography== Mamanuphian orthography is very basic. Words may begin with either a consonant or a vowel and follow the rule of consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel. Words may end in either a vowel or nasal (M, N or Ng). Nasala are not allowed internally in a word, and change according to this pattern: M>Bh, N>Dh, Ng>Th. ==Nouns== There are five classes of nouns in Mamanuphian: ===Type one: Human (gephey: ''xeπξeq'')=== Related to humans.

The sea also borders the polar [[Reor Camoresis]] to the north of Eresphria; it is linked to the [[Pelas]] by the [[Bidan Channel]], and to the [[As am Iraph]] by both the [[Deis Paphresis]] and the [[Armagnol Strait]]. The sea's location between the frigid north pole and the warm [[Marcasia]]n continent and the adjacent [[As am Iraph]] gives rise to its rather choppy character in the west; in the east, bounded by the cooler [[Istheusia]]n landmass, the Artya is noticeably calmer, more balmy, and more conducive to trade: it has indeed been used as a trade route between the [[Carabaean Empire|Carabaean]] and [[Nospheratic Empire|Nospheratic]] empires of old (see [[Ilethes in the Classical Age]] for more). {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Oceans, Seas and Lakes of Ilethes]] Deis Paphresis 3780 29429 2008-03-01T10:01:26Z Denihilonihil 119 The '''Deis Paphresis''' ([[Dethric language|Dethric]] {{IPA|['ðeis pa'fresis]}}) is a strait separating the continents of [[Eresphria]] on the north and [[Canthres]] on the south, in the process linking the [[Artya]] and the [[As am Iraph]]. The considerable width of the strait, as well as the deep seabed of the [[Artya]] on its east, means that in its vicinity the sea surface is generally calm and conducive for trade and other nautical activity. The strait is and has been an important conduit for human and material movement; it was the route by which humans, having first settled [[Eresphria]] from [[Marcasia]], spread to [[Canthres]]. In modern times, the strait is a major node for transport between the two continents: no fewer than six port cities are situated within 50km of its shores. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Oceans, Seas and Lakes of Ilethes]] [[Category: Eresphria]] [[Category: Canthres]] As am Iraph 3781 29411 2008-02-28T17:12:06Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Names */ punctuation The '''As am Iraph''' ([[Arithide language|Arithide]] lit. "Sea to the West") or '''Eastern Ocean''' is the largest water body on [[Ilethes]], bounded by the continent of [[Istheusia]] on its western shores, the [[Hibondassian Sea]] to its west and south, to its north by the [[Reor Camoresis]], and to the east by the continents of [[Eresphria]], [[Canthres]], [[Marcasia]] and [[Arophania]]. ==Names== The Arithide name, the ''As am Iraph'', is an inheritance from [[Ilethes in the Classical Age|classical times]], and is named from the [[Areth]] perspective as to its geographical location. Despite this, the name has gained currency at the expense of the officially preferred and promoted name, "Vonectean Ocean", which in Arithide (''Kanadas Vonektinos'') literally means "the ocean of many changes", a reference to its unpredictable weather and the wide variations across its huge geographical expanse. The name ''Eastern Ocean'', on the other hand, is a lesser known and used name, deriving from its old [[Kiryeb language|Kiryeb]] name. In modern usage, the [[Karyāba]] prefer to call the ocean the Vonectean. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Geography of Ilethes]] [[Category: Oceans, Seas and Lakes of Ilethes]] Talk:Knoschke 3783 22839 2007-07-06T11:57:14Z Melroch 31 [[Talk:Knoshke]] moved to [[Talk:Knoschke]]: I like the German spelling better.

The planet Zebia is slightly larger than but very similar to Earth and orbits (together with several other planets) [[Sol Novus]] (or just Novus, for short), a sun-like star which forms a binary star system with a second, dimmer star orbiting at a larger distance. Zebia has three moons, one of them large, the other two small and placed at the L4 and L5 points of the large moon's orbit. These moons follow a circular orbit around Zebia at a distance of 413,966.3801 km, taking 29.1783 days to complete one orbit. The largest moon has a mass of 97.1016 Yg and a diameter of 3,812.5360 km; incidentally, this is such that the largest moon and Novus have the same angular size as seen from Zebia. =Geography= ==Map== [[Image:ZebiaContinents.GIF|560px]] ==Continents== Zebia has five continents: *[[Protera]] *[[Deutera]] *[[Trita]] *[[Tetarta]] *[[Pempta]] =History= *[[Geological and biological history of Zebia|Geological and biological history]] *[[Spread of humans on Zebia|Human migration]] [[Category:Collaborations]] [[category:Conworlds]] [[Category:Zebia|*]] [[Category:Planets]] Zompist Bulletin Board 3789 46311 2009-06-23T09:40:29Z Tropylium 756 category The '''Zompist Bulletin Board''' (often abbreviated '''ZBB''') is a phpBB-powered community of conlangers and conworlders.

Novus has 1.1301 times the mass of the earth's sun, 1.2318 its diameter, and about 150% of its luminosity. Novus is at the centre of a solar system. One of its planets is '''[[Zebia]]''', an earthlike planet, at a mean distance of 1.2248 AU from it. Novus and its companion star, Sol Alter (or "Alter" for short), orbit each other in an elliptical orbit with a perihelion of 178.7 AU and an aphelion of 566 AU. The great semi-major axis of the orbit is 291 AU, and the orbital period is 2,208.2431 Earth-years (1,731.823 Zebia-years). The magnitude of Alter, as seen from Zebia, is -15.66 at perihelion, and -13.16 at aphelion.

It takes a file in the [[User:Paul.w.bennett/CSMF/File_Format|.csmf]] format as input, compiles the rules to a Perl script and runs that script on a specified corpus to produce an output corpus. Optionally, the generated script may be saved to disk for later re-use or editing. =Synopsis= csmf ''rulesfile'' [ -q | [ -v [ v [ v ] ] ] ] [ -o ''savedscript'' ] [ -s ''sourcecorpus'' ] [ -t ''targetcorpus'' ] =Options= ''rulesfile'' Filename containing the ruleset to compile to perl. If not found, csmf searches $CSMFPATH (if present), which should be a colon-delimited list of directories to search. Windows implementations will search a semicolon-delimited %CSMFPATH%, if present. Specifying an input file of "'''-'''" reads the rules from stdin, but see the '''-s''' switch. '''-q, --quiet''' Do not output anything (except critical errors to stderr). '''-v, --verbose''' Output rules as they are compiled. '''-vv, --noisy''' Output changes to (or creation of) symbols and states for each rule. '''-vvv, --tmi''' Output full state and symbol tables that have changed for each rule. '''--verbosity ''n'' '''Set output verbosity to 0 (quiet), 1 (normal), 2 (verbose), 3 (noisy), 4 (tmi). '''-p, --persistent-verbosity''' Make ''-q'', ''-v'', ''-vv'', or ''-vvv'' setting persist into the generated script (mm "used" for "compiled"). The options will always be understood (but not forced) in the generated script if ''-o'' is used. '''--beef-yoga''' Export data as ''csmf.flex'' and ''csmf.bison'' for use with the respective programs. This is '''''HIGHLY''''' Experimental! Do not use, except for fun. '''-o --save-script-file''' Saves the generated Perl script after creating and running it. This is useful if you need to use the same changes on several corpora. Specifying an output file of "'''-'''" writes the generated script to stdout. If you do this while using any of the logging switches, logging will occur to /dev/fd3 instead of stdout. If you do not specify a script name, the default will be ''rulesfile'' with the file extension (if any) stripped from it the extension '''.pl''' appended. '''-x --dont-run-now''' Only generate the script, do not run it. If run without '''-o''', this will effectively just debug the rule set. =Documentation= Kiryeb language 3805 19738 2007-03-02T02:54:38Z Denihilonihil 119 New page: The '''Kiryeb language''' (in Kiryeb '''An-kiryeb''' {{IPA|['aŋkirjɛb]}}) is a [[Deonic languages|Deonic]] language, of the northern branch. Spoken natively by more than two hundred mill... The '''Kiryeb language''' (in Kiryeb '''An-kiryeb''' {{IPA|['aŋkirjɛb]}}) is a [[Deonic languages|Deonic]] language, of the northern branch. Spoken natively by more than two hundred million people in [[Carabaea]] alone and many millions more across [[Istheusia]] in addition, it ranks second in terms of native speakers, and is overall the fourth most widely spoken tongue. The most notable characteristic of Kiryeb is its consonantal nature, where groups of consonants indicate generic concepts or categories, while getting their specific meanings from various vowels in different arrangements. E.g. ''f-k-n'' indicates the concept of running; from it are derived ''fikin'' "runner", ''fakāna'' "runners" and ''fakun'' "to run", among many other possible forms. {{stub}} [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Istheusia]] [[Category: Carabaea]] Sol novus 3806 19768 2007-03-03T02:10:11Z Tmeister 310 [[Sol novus]] moved to [[Sol Novus]]: Proper nouns should be capitalized. #REDIRECT [[Sol Novus]] Pheide 3807 19775 2007-03-03T05:54:32Z Denihilonihil 119 Redirecting to [[Pheism]] #REDIRECT [[Pheism]] Three Hundred Golden Years 3808 20854 2007-04-01T09:55:34Z Denihilonihil 119 [[Three hundred golden years]] moved to [[Three Hundred Golden Years]]: capitalisation The '''Three Hundred Golden Years''' ([[Modern Arithide]] '''''Diaunni Hev Kyrnēs''''' {{IPA|['ʤonni hɛf 'kʏ:ne:s]}}; [[Dethric language|Dethric]] '''''Seuphith Caures Chanai''''' {{IPA|['su:fiθ 'ko:rəs ʃə'ne:]}}), are three centuries of economic prosperity, political stability, and cultural flourishing in the Equora Dynasty of the [[Lazeian Empire]], lasting from 545 [[CIE]] to c. 850 [[CIE]]. The period witnessed the lives of some of the most respected figures in [[Arithia]]n history, particularly of the artistic professions of literature, art, drama and music, but also many eminent statesmen.

''Possessor-Noun'' constructions are possible, using auxilliaries.

Adjective-Heads are used for copular purposes: '''kěy xiib''' is ''(the) stone is big''. As with possession in nouns, a relativising auxilliary can be used to say things like "(the) big (one) is (made of/like) stone": '''ye kěy kʼáá xiib'''. Uínlīta 3810 28028 2008-01-06T19:47:00Z Paul.w.bennett 301 /* Languages */ The ''Norse Territory of Finla'' (Finlaesk ''Nódbᵫ́ð Fínlǣ'' /noːdbyːð viːnlæ̃/, Rygsnors ''Norsjobygd Vínlan'') was first established around 1000CE in what is nathistorically the northern tip of Newfoundland. The original name ''Vínland'' applied to a loosely-defined region centered on the first small settlement at the modern capital ''Bǽnnfekk'' /baːnvek/ (orig. ''Bjarnivík''). By 1100CE, Bjarnivík was well established as a self-sustaining permenent settlement, and the borders of Vínland were fairly well-defined. =Internal Geopolitics= ==States== Finla is subdivided into the states of Fínlǣ "proper" /viːnlã/, Mákklǣ /mɑːklæ̃/, Lul Œ /lul ø/, and Skrǽlīlǣ /ʃɹ̥aːlĩlã/ (or ''Hlǽllitt Nunátt'' /ɬaːlːit nunɑːt/). ==Government== Finla is a [[Norse Territory (Finla AU)|Norse Territory]], and shares the usual division of power between the Federal [[Rigssal (Finla AU)|riᵹssál]] (in [[Gothenburg (Finla AU)|ᵹoððēbúᵹ]]), and a Territorial riᵹssál located in Bǽnnfekk. Power is distributed by a two-directional selected-representation method. Starting at the lowest level, each household selects one member to speak for them at the city, town or village sál. Likewise, the members of the local sál select one of their own to attend district sál, and upwards to state riᵹssáls, territorial riᵹssáls and the Federal riᵹssál. From the other end, the Crown selects Proxies for all territories, who select Sherrifs for states, who in turn select one or more Deputies for each community. As noted elsewhere, Deputies serve mainly as justices of the peace, but also as chief investigators of criminal (and civil) evidence. =Languages= The official language of government (as in the rest of the Norse Lands) is [[Rygsnors (Finla AU)|Rygsnors]] (Finlaesk ''Rᵫᵹsnód''). The majority language is [[Uínlītska]]. Additional minority languages include [[Hibernic]], [[Beothuk_(Finla_AU)|Bœ́wðukk]], [[Hraelisk|Hrǽlisk]] (or ''Hlǽktittútt''), English, Norn, and Scots. = Ecology = == Housing == The wigwam is known, as is the iglu in cold enough areas, as well as both Viking and Iroqious style longhouses, and log cabins. == Food == ''See the [[Finla Foods]] article for full details.'' Food is obtained both by farming and hunting/gathering. A fair number of European farmed crops and animals have been imported, and domestication has been tried with most local crops and animals, with variable success. Many curing and preservation techniques are practiced, among which the manufacture of sausage and pemmican are the most common for meats, and pickling for vegetables. Cooking techniques all involve metal vessels placed over, in front of, or directly on fires or embers. = Fínlǣra Ethnographical Questionnaire = '''[[Dr. Zahar’s Ethnographical Questionnaire]]''' was compiled by David Zahir to help in the description of [[conculture]]s, and can be found in the files section of the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture/ Conculture group at Yahoo]. == Questions of Place == === Describe the geography of where your society calls home. === The North-eastern portion of the North American continent. Plains, islands, river basins, mountains, verdant fields and forest, and inhositable frozen wastes. === Describe the climate your society deals with. How severe are their seasons? === Arctic, Temperate and Alpine climates. Types Dfa, Dfb, ETf, and EF. === What kinds of natural disasters has this society gotten used to? === Variably severe winters, up to very severe. Occasional tropical storm and hurricane remnants. Nor'easter storm systems. Blizzards. Flooding in some areas. === What is this place's most abundant resource? === Snow. === What is its most valuable resource? === The most important exports are wood (mostly to Greenland, and also Iceland), furs, tobacco, and a selection of American herbs and spices, such as sassafrass, Eastern White Cedar, and sumac. === What resource is it most lacking? === === How do people travel from one place to another? === === Are the borders secure? In what way? === Though borders are fairly well defined, border security mostly consists of loose treaties, or the areas beyond the borders being uninhabited. === How many people live here? === === Where in this place to they congregate? === === What part of this place do they avoid? Why? === === What are the most common domesticated animals here? And what are they domesticated for? === === What are the most common wild animals? === Deer, moose (''elᵹé''), bears (''bœ̨́n''), wolves (''ᵫlᵹǽ''), buffalo, raccoons, and beaver, as well as some feralized dogs and horses. In northerly regions, seals and whales are more common. === Which animals are likely to be pets? Which ones won't be? === == Questions of Time == === How far back does this society's written history go? === Old Norse writings go back to c. 600CE. The first colony goes back to c. 1000CE. === How far back do its people believe it goes? === c. 1000CE. === What is the worst disaster they believe they've faced? === === What was the best thing that every happened to them? === === What in their past makes them feel ashamed? === === What in their past makes them proud? === There is a great sense of pride in the ''ðrekki'' or fortitude of the first settlers, Leifr Eiríksson Hinn Heppni, and his companions, who established the settlement which became known as Bǽnnfek, later the capital of Finla. The legendary tales of their meeting and eventual friendship with the Hrǽlingr, and learning (both from them and on their own) to adapt and thrive among the new plants and animals, during their initial two year stay, are very much part of the local identity of the Finlara. === What are they afraid of happening again? === === What are they hoping will happen? Do they think it likely? === === What do they assume the future will hold? === === How has this society changed? Do its current members realize this? === === What are the most popular stories about the past? === === Who in the past is the greatest hero? The worst villain? === === Do people think the present better or worse than the past? === === Do people believe the future will be better or worse than the present or past? === == Questions of Sex and Family == === How many spouses may a man or woman have? === Zero or One. === Who decides on a marriage? === A couple may declare themselves married. Church recognition is very common. === Can a marriage end in divorce? How? === A couple may mutually declare their marriage over. Church recognition is required. === Who usually takes custody of children if a marriage ends for some reason? === The mother rejoins her parental household, bringing the children with her, unless teenaged children prefer to stay with their father. === How is adultery defined? What (if any) is the punishment? Who decides? === === How are families named? What happens to orphans? === Males take a patronymic of the form "Son of ''father''". Females take a matronymic that mentions the father, in the form "Daughter of ''mother'' by ''father''", though the "by ''father''" part is omitted except in formal circumstances. Individuals may also take an Attributive name (a ''Hlǽlnamr'') based on their profession, build, demeanor, or other factor, and the Hlǽlnamr of their father (and mother) may be included in formal documents, and may even go by their Hlǽlnamr instead of their given name. === How are boy and girl children treated differently? === === Are premarital relations allowed? === Yes. === How does your society define incest? Rape? How do people react to these? === Rape is a common practice among unmarried warriors as part of the captive-taking process, and essentially makes the victim an adopted member of the captor's household. For married men, it is seen as dishonourable, though acceptable at least among the followers of the Æssri (as opposed to Christians). Rape of people not taken in battle is considered a violation of the peace and is dealt with by measures ranging from branding to emasculation. Incest between a parent and their nonadult children is treated just as any other relationship with children -- in case of a complaint (regardless of the complainer), the child is taken into private sessions with the crown proxy or deputy (who may interview others as part of the process) to determine which punishment if any is appropriate. Incest between other adult relatives is uncommon, and definitely markedly unusual, but generally little more than frowned upon. Indeed, incest as a measure to keep a well-regarded family line pure can be seen as admirable. === What, if anything, is considered a good marriage gift? === === What secret vice is believed to be widely practiced? === === What secret vice actually is practiced? === === What sexual habits are widely believed common among foriegners? === === How do people react to homosexuality? === === How do the genders dress? === Both sexes dress in a mixture of skins, furs, and woollen clothing. In more northerly regions, dress is uniform between the sexes, at least outdoors, being boots, pants and a hooded jacket made of skin & fur, over woollen clothing. In other places, clothing ranges from as little as a skin loincloth (common only during hunting in warmer conditions), up to kilts, skirts, pants, shirts & tunics, with either light moccasins or boots. === Is prostitution legal? How are prostitutes viewed? Is this accurate? === === What professions or activities are considered masculine? === Warrior, sailor, hunter, farmer, tradesman, teacher, poet, storyteller, Christian priest, odatte (heathen priest), furrier, woodsmith, metalsmith, and other "heavy" crafts. === What professions or activities are viewed as feminine? === Hunter, tradesman, teacher, poet, odattra (heathen preiestess), furrier, seamstress, weaver, baker, cook, woodsmith, and "light" crafts. Female warriors are very rare, but can be highly regarded (even moreso than male warriors) if they perform many fameworthy deeds. === What inanimate or sexless things are considered male or female? === === What is the biggest sexual taboo? === === Does this society connect the ideas of marriage with love? === Yes. === What does this society mean by the word "virgin" and how important it it? === == Questions of Manners == === Who speaks first at a formal gathering? === === What kinds of gifts are considered in extremely bad taste? === === How do younger adults address their elders? === === What colors are associated with power? With virtue? With death? === === If two men get into a fight, how is this supposed to be resolved? === === If two women get into a fight, how should that be resolved? === === When is it rude to laugh at something funny? === === What kinds of questions cannot be asked in public? In private? At all? === === How do people demonstrate grief? === === What does this society do with their corpses? === The Christian method is underground burial or private cremation. The heathen method is burial underground or in a mound-tomb, public cremation, or leaving the body in a remote spot or charnel house to decompose naturally, possibly followed by burial in a mound-tomb. === What kinds of jewelry do people wear? And when? === Jewelry is usually minmal -- cloaks, coats, or capes may be bound by an ornate broach or clasp, protective or decorative necklaces are fairly common, either bearing Christian or heathen symbols plus possibly a prayer or spell on a stone, or on paper in a small bag. Piercings and tattoos are known, as is the use of decorative or practical face-painting. === Who inheirits property? Titles? Position? === === What happens to those suffering from extreme mental illness? === === What are the most popular games? How important are they? === === What parts of the body are routinely covered? === === How private are bodily functions like bathing or defecating? === === How do people react to physical deformity? === === When and how does someone go from child to adult? === == Questions of Faith == === Is there a formal clergy? How are they organized? === The Christian Church is part of the Northern section of [[Christianity (Finla AU)|The Church Catholic]]. The local heathen beliefs combine the traditional Æsir-based religion with symbols and rituals shared with the Native American population to a greater or lesser extend. See the article on [[Heathenism (Finla AU)|Heathenism]] for more details. Heathenism is officially discouraged by the crown (and cathedral) at Gothenburg, but generally tolerated by the local population more than in Norse Europe. === What do people believe happens to them after death? How, if at all, can they influence this? === The belief in positive and negative afterlives is common between Christianity and Heathenism, as well as the chance of an afterdeath redemptive period to move from the negative to the positive afterlife. === What happens to those who disagree with the majority on questions of religion? === They are generally well-tolerated. Heresy within Christanity is loooked on more harshly than heathenism, but neither are considered criminal. === Are there any particular places considered special or holy? What are they like? === === What are the most popular rituals or festivals? === Júl, celebrated around the Winter Solstice is considered a standard opportunity for Christians and heathens to join together in celebrating birth and a new beginning. === What do people want from the god or gods?

What kinds of supernatural === === What supernatural events/beings do people fear? === Œtunnar are unified within Christianity and heathenism as malevolent nonhumans, and enemies of God / the gods. == Questions of Government == === Who decides whether someone has broken a law? How? === Complaints are taken to the justice (either the Crown Proxy in Bǽnfekk, or a Deputy locally), who will privately interview the victim (and accuser, if distinct), and any others they feel are relevant, as well as collecting and examining physical evidence, before enacting summary judgement, or calling for a jury trial, during which the justice and jury will publically question witnesses called themselves, or by the accuser or accused (or their advocates), who may also ask questions of their own. The justice and jury may also call their own expert witnesses to examine and discuss physical evidence and the plausibility of factual assertations made by either side. The jury will pronounce a guilty or not-guilty verdict based on the factuality of the alleged act, whether the accused committed the act, and whether the accused is mentally or legally culpable for committing the act, and may even find that a criminal act, comitted with culpable criminal intent, was just and reasonable, and therefore return a not guilty verdict. Once a verdict is decided, the justice will decide on a punishment, based on Crown guidelines, the advice of the jury, and any petitions made by any third party. Trials ''in absentia'' are possible, where the accused has mandatory competent representation, which may be decided by their family, or appointed by the justice. === What kinds of punishments are meted out? By whom? Why? === Fines, imprisonment (with a variety of severities), corporal punishment (even torture), capital punishment, disfigurement / amputation (including emasculation), branding, and indentured servitude (as restitution) are all more or less common. === How are new laws created or old ones changed? === === Is there some form of clemency or pardon?

Proto-Indo-European was spoken somewhere in Eurasia approximately 6000 years ago, although it is not clear exactly where or if it was a single, homogeneous speech community. Shemspreg is not intended to be a faithful reproduction of Proto-Indo-European but is rather derived from it. In creating Shemspreg, I have taken certain liberties in all aspects of grammar; this has been done for two reasons: (i) to reflect my personal aesthetic in language structure and design, and (ii) to simplify and regularize the complexities of Proto-Indo-European, a motivation ultimately related to (i). Shemspreg has been constructed solely for the pleasure of its construction; I have no plans to advertise or promote Shemspreg as an international auxiliary language. In the pages which follow, I provide brief descriptions of the sounds of Shemspreg, nouns, pronouns and other particles, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and sentence structure. There are also three appendices which deal with additional matter. The first appendix lays out the principles used in adapting PIE reconstructions for use in Shemspreg. The second appendix contains some short texts with interlinear morpheme-by-morpheme glosses and some notes on interesting grammatical constructions. The third appendix contains terms used in the description of Shemspreg which may be unfamiliar or which may be used in idiosyncratic ways. ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:A posteriori conlangs]] [[Category:Indo-European conlangs]] Introduction to Shemspreg 3815 19976 2007-03-10T21:32:48Z Elzinga 315 Removing all content from page Shemspreg sounds 3816 24820 2007-08-31T21:37:55Z Elzinga 315 In this chapter, I give a brief sketch of the phonology of Shemspreg. I do not discuss the principles used in adapting PIE roots to Shemspreg; this is taken up in the first appendix, although some of these principles appear as productive phonological alternations in Shemspreg. ==Inventory== Unsurprisingly, the phonological inventory of Shemspreg is very similar to that of PIE. As in PIE, segments are divided into three types: i) obstruents, ii) sonorants, and iii) vowels. These are introduced below with explanatory notes concerning the transcription conventions adopted here. Obstruents are consonantal sounds which are made with a certain degree of constriction or blockage of airflow somewhere in the mouth. There are three series of obstruents in Shemspreg: voiceless stops, voiced stops, and fricatives. There are six places of articulation: i) labial, ii) dental, iii) alveolar, iv) palato-alveolar, v) velar, and vi) rounded velar. The obstruents are shown in the table below in the transcription which will be used throughout this grammatical sketch. {| cellspacing=5 ! || align=center| labial || align=center| dental || align=center| alveolar || align=center| palato-alveolar || align=center| velar || align=center| rounded velar |- | '''voiceless stops''' || align=center| p || || align=center| t || align=center| ch || align=center| k || align=center| kw |- | '''voiced stops''' || align=center| b || || align=center| d || align=center| j || align=center| g || align=center| gw |- | '''fricatives''' || align=center| f/v || align=center| th/dh || align=center| s || align=center| sh/zh || align=center| kh/gh || align=center| khw/ghw |} The digraph '''ch''' represents a voiceless palato-alveolar affricate, while '''j''' represents a voiced palato-alveolar affricate. Although these sounds are not technically stops, I include them in the stop category since they behave as stops in Shemspreg. '''Kw''' and '''gw''' are voiceless and voiced rounded velar stops, respectively. The digraphs '''th''' and '''dh''' represent voiceless and voiced interdental fricatives; '''sh''' and '''zh''' are voiceless and voiced palato-alveolar fricatives; '''kh''' and '''gh''' are voiceless and voiced velar fricatives. '''Khw''' and '''ghw''' represent voiceless and voiced rounded velar fricatives. Fricative voicing is predictable and will be discussed in the section on common phonological processes. Sonorants are consonants produced with a relatively open passage for airflow. The sonorants in Shemspreg include the nasals, liquids, and glides '''m, n, l, r, y''' and '''w'''. The transcription of the sonorants is fairly straightforward; '''y''' represents a palatal glide and '''r''' can be an apical trill (as in Spanish) or a retroflex approximant (as in English). All other symbols receive their IPA values. There are five distinctive vowel qualities in Shemspreg. They are '''i, e, a, o''' and '''u.''' Length is also a feature of Shemspreg vowels and is represented in the orthography by doubling; however, long vowels only occur in stressed syllables. The mid vowels '''e''' and '''o''' may be pronounced open when short and closed when long. Other vowels receive conventional IPA values. Shemspreg also contains a number of diphthongs consisting of a mid or low vowel followed by a glide (written in diphthongs as '''i''' or '''u'''); the diphthongs are '''eu, oi, au''' and '''ai'''. There are no long diphthongs in Shemspreg. ==Common phonological processes== ===Fricative voicing=== Fricatives other than '''s''' come in voiced/voiceless pairs which alternate depending on their position within a word. When a fricative occurs at the beginning or the end of a word, it is voiceless; elsewhere it is voiced. The examples below show this alternation pattern. Below, both 'brother' and 'daughter' begin with a voiceless fricative since they are word-initial. These fricatives are voiced in the compounds 'brother-in-law' and 'sister-in-law' since in those compounds they fall between vowels. '''fraater''' ‘brother’ '''swekru-vraater''' ‘brother-in-law’ '''thugater''' ‘daughter’ '''swekru-dhugater''' ‘daughter-in-law’ The examples below show words derived from alternate stem forms which are related to each other. When the palato-alveolar fricative is initial, it is voiceless '''sh'''; when it is medial, it is voiced '''zh'''. '''shem''' ‘person, human’ '''dezhom''' ‘earth, ground’ '''shuu''' ‘fish’ '''dezhu''' ‘fish’ Below are examples of present and past tense verb forms. The past tense here is signalled by both affixation and by stem-shortening. When the '''e-''' prefix or the reduplicative prefix is attached to the stem, the following fricative is voiced; otherwise, when the root-initial prefix is initial in the word, it is voiceless. '''fendes''' ‘ties, is tying’ '''evindi''' ‘was tying’ '''thes''' ‘puts, is putting’ '''edhi''' ‘was putting’ '''sheres''' ‘encircles, is encircling’ '''ezhri''' ‘was encircling’ '''khaves''' ‘grasps, takes; is grasping, taking’ '''eghvi''' ‘was grasping, taking’ '''khwenes''' ‘hits, is hitting’ '''eghuni''' ‘was hitting’ ===Vocalization of rounded velars=== When a stem-final rounded velar comes to stand immediately before a consonant, the rounding of the rounded velar is vocalized as a short [u], and the rounded velar consonant becomes a plain velar. This occurs mainly in the reduced grade of verbal stems. '''khwenes''' 'hits, is hitting' '''eghuni''' 'was hitting' '''khweghuni''' 'has hit' ===Simplification of diphthongs=== There are a number of verbal roots which end in a diphthong '''ei''' or '''ou'''. When such a diphthong appears word-finally (as in the imperative), or when the syllable containing the diphthong is closed (e.g. by afixation of present tense '''-s''' or cliticization of '''=kwe''' 'and'), the diphthong becomes a long vowel. '''awee!''' {| | au- || ei |- | away || go:IMP |} 'Go away!' '''so khoos echwosom''' {| | so || khou || -s || echwo || -s || -om |- | 3s:NOM || pay.attention.to || -PRES || horse || - PL || -OBL |} 'He watches after the horses.' ==Prosody== ===Syllable structure=== Syllables in Shemspreg consist of a vowel optionally preceded by one or more consonants and optionally followed by one or more consonants. This means that syllable structure in Shemspreg can be rather complex. Like other Indo-European languages, syllables in Shemspreg can contain clusters of consonants, but these clusters are limited by a few general principles. Clusters of two consonants occur frequently. If the first consonant of such a cluster is '''s''', it may be followed by any sonorant or any of the voiceless stops '''p, t, k, kw'''. If the first consonant of a two consonant cluster is not '''s''', it must be another obstruent and the second consonant must be a liquid or glide. The sequences '''tl''', '''dl''', '''pw''', and '''bw''' are not allowed in syllable initial position. A syllable may also begin with a cluster of three consonants, but the first consonant must be '''s''', the second consonant must be one of '''p, t, k''', and the third consonant must be '''y, w, r, l'''. The same restrictions which hold for two consonant clusters also hold for the consonants following '''s''' in three consonant clusters. Clusters may also occur at the end of a syllable. Generally, such a cluster will have two members the first of which will be a sonorant and the second of which will be an obstruent. There are a few cases where two obstruents close a syllable; these generally involve '''s'''. '''deks''' 'right' '''moks''' 'soon' '''sweks''' 'six' '''aisk''' 'clear, bright, shining' '''osp''' 'aspen' ===Stress=== Stressed syllables in Shemspreg are higher in pitch and louder than neighboring syllables. Words are stressed on the first syllable of the root. '''stáas''' 'stands, is standing' '''estái''' 'was standing' '''statái''' 'stood' When the root contains no vowel (as is often the case with past tense verb forms), the stress falls on the syllable immediately preceding the root. '''némes''' 'takes, is taking' '''énmi''' 'was taking' '''nénmi''' 'took' In compounds, each element of the compound is stressed in accordance with the principles given above, with the initial constituent receiving primary stress and the following constituents receiving secondary stress. '''swékru-vràater''' 'brother-in-law' '''shém-sprèg''' 'human language' There are other interesting phonological processes in Shemspreg, primarily involving the insertion or deletion of vowels, but these are all connected with noun and verb morphology and will be explained in those sections. ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Chan 3817 43183 2009-02-16T19:45:51Z Christina 18 The '''chan''' originated as a large gold coin the same size as the silver ''vezh'', used in the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire]]. It is today the name of several [[Currencies of Galhaf|currencies]], the most important of which is the [[Imperial Chan]] of the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Kasshi Empire]]. There are several other chans pegged at par to the Imperial Chan. The [[Shivrashanian Chan]] is pegged at the rate of 2 Imperial to 3 Shivrashanian. Other chans include the [[Krivashan Chan]], whose value is pegged at 60 to the Imperial Chan. [[Category:Galhafan Currencies]] Shemspreg nouns 3819 40980 2008-12-18T14:36:48Z Elzinga 315 Nouns are words that name people, other living beings, places, things, objects, ideas, and so on. For example, '''gwena''' 'woman', '''sperg''' 'sparrow', '''kwon''' 'dog', '''dom''' 'house', '''kwer''' 'bowl', and '''westo''' 'goodness' are nouns in Shemspreg. In other words, nouns serve to refer to the participants or things talked about in discourse. In this chapter I discuss how nouns are inflected, how new nouns are formed, and the structure of noun phrases. ==Number== Shemspreg nouns are inflected for singular and plural number. The plural in Shemspreg is marked by the suffix '''-es'''; if the noun stem is vowel-final, the '''e''' is omitted; the singular is unmarked. {| cellspacing=5 | sing || plur |- | '''ster''' || '''steres''' || 'star' |- | '''sperg''' || '''sperges''' || 'sparrow' |- | '''kwon''' || '''kwones''' || 'dog' |- | '''dom''' || '''domes''' || 'house' |- | '''wiro''' || '''wiros''' || 'man' |- | '''gwena''' || '''gwenas''' || 'woman' |} ==Case== The syntactic relations of subject and object are central to Shemspreg grammar. All Shemspreg sentences have a subject, and all transitive sentences have an object as well. In Shemspreg, nouns which function as subjects are in the nominative case, while nouns which function as objects are in the oblique case. Nouns which are the objects of prepositions are also in the oblique case. Another important relation involving nouns is the possessive. The possessive indicates a relationship between two nouns; this is typically a relationship of ownership, but can also be that of a part to the whole or of something and its origin. Nouns which function as possessors are in the genitive case. Shemspreg nouns are thus inflected for three cases: nominative, genitive, and oblique. Genitive case is marked by the suffix '''-os''', and the oblique case is marked by the suffix '''-om'''. If the noun-stem is vowel-final, the '''o''' of the oblique and genitive suffixes is omitted. The nominative case is not marked with a suffix. Case suffixes follow the plural suffix when the inflected noun is plural; case inflection is shown below. {| cellspacing=5 | || sing || plur || || sing || plur |- | nom || '''ster''' || '''steres''' || || '''wiro''' || '''wiros''' |- | gen || '''steros''' || '''steresos''' || || '''wiros''' ||| '''wirosos''' |- | obl || '''sterom''' || '''steresom''' || || '''wirom''' || '''wirosom''' |- | || 'star' || 'stars' || || 'man' || 'men' |} Specific examples of case marking are illustrated in the phrases and sentences which follow. Clause subjects and predicate nominals are in nominative case. '''wiro eskwi echwosom.''' {| | wiro || e- || skw || -i || echwo || -s || -om |- | man:NOM || IMPF- || see:0 || -PAST || horse || -PL || -OBL |} '(The) man saw the horses.' '''ej es pater.''' {| | ej || es || pater |- | 1s:NOM || be.PRES || father:NOM |} 'I am a father.' Nouns which express a possessive relationship or a part/whole relationship are in genitive case. '''khostis wezho''' {| | khosti || -s || wezho |- | stranger || -GEN || wagon |} 'the stranger's wagon' '''wiros thugater''' {| | wiro || -s || thugater |- | man || -GEN || daughter |} 'the man's daughter' '''tauros chirn''' {| | tauro || -s || chirn |- | bull || -GEN || horn |} 'the bull's horn' '''chestros ardi''' {| | chestro || -s || ardi |- | knife || -GEN || tip, point |} 'the tip of the knife' Nouns which serve as subjects of nominalized subordinate clauses are also in genitive case. '''wiro eskwi gwenas abel-apentom.''' {| | wiro || e- || skw || -i || gwena || -s || abel- || ap || -ent || -om |- | man:NOM || IMPF- || see:0 || -PAST || woman || -GEN || apple- || pick || -PTC || -OBL |} 'The man saw the woman picking apples.' (lit: 'the woman's apple picking') Other nouns are in oblique case. These include direct objects and objects of prepositions. '''wiro eskwi echwosom.''' {| | wiro || e- || skw || -i || echwo || -s || -om |- | man:NOM || IMPF- || see:0 || -PAST || horse || -PL || -OBL |} 'The man saw the horses.' '''putlo fredes en sreutom.''' {| | putlo || fred || -es || en || sreuto || -m |- | boy:NOM || wade || -PRES || in || stream || -OBL |} 'The boy is wading in the stream.' ==Variable stems== There are a handful of stems whose final segment is variable. These stems are of two types: (i) u/w-stems, and (ii) r/n-stems; below is a complete list of both types of stems in Shemspreg. {| border=0 cellspacing="5" | u/w-stems || r/n-stems || |- | '''moru/w-''' 'ant' || '''esir/n-''' 'blood' |- | '''aru/w-''' 'field' || '''sneewir/n-''' 'bowstring; tendon, sinew' |- | '''solu/w-''' 'health' || '''sker/n-''' 'feces; manure' |- | '''ongu/w-''' 'oil; ointment, salve' || '''opir/n-''' 'goods, wealth, possessions' |- | '''snighu/w-''' 'snow' || '''mir/n-''' 'hand' |- | '''alghu/w-''' 'value' || '''cherisir/n-''' 'head' |- | '''seku/w-''' 'eye; view' || '''yekwir/n-''' 'liver' |- | '''weku/w-''' 'voice' || '''wesir/n-''' 'spring and summer' |- | || '''wedir/n-''' 'water' |} Variable stems show an alternation in the stem-final segment when that segment is followed by a suffix. U/w-stems end in '''u''' when no suffix follows the stem; this occurs in the nominative singular. Otherwise, these stems end in '''w'''; this '''w''' is always followed by a vowel-either the '''e''' of the plural suffix '''-es''' or the '''o''' of the case suffixes '''-os''' 'genitive' and '''-om''' 'oblique'. This is shown in the paradigm for the noun '''ongu/w-''' 'oil; ointment, salve'. {| border=0 cellspacing="5" | || sing || plur |- | nom || '''ongu''' || '''ongwes''' |- | gen || '''ongwos''' || '''ongwesos''' |- | obl || '''ongwom''' || '''ongwesom''' |} The variability of several of the u/w-stems is best understood to be the result of the vocalization of word-final rounded velars. The other stems end in a '''w''', which is then vocalized as '''u''' when word-final. R/n-stems pattern similarly; they end in '''r''' in the nominative singular and otherwise in '''n'''. This is shown in the paradigm for the noun '''mir/n-''' 'hand'. {| border=0 cellspacing="5" | || sing || plur |- | nom || '''mir''' || '''mines''' |- | gen || '''minos''' || '''minesos''' |- | obl || '''minom''' || '''minesom''' |} The r/n-stem pattern is a direct carry-over from PIE; it is not understood what motivation there was for this alternation pattern. ==Deriving nouns== ===Diminutive=== The suffix '''-(e)lo''' is attached to noun stems to indicate small size, helplessness, or as an endearment or even to show contempt. '''dom''' 'house' > '''domelo''' 'small house' '''kwon''' 'dog' > '''kwonelo''' 'cute little dog' '''wiro''' 'man' > '''wirolo''' 'puny little man' The diminutive suffix can also be attached to adjectives to form nouns; these nouns are often used as endearments or insults. '''ing''' 'cross, surly' > '''ingelo''' 'nasty person' '''medhu''' 'sweet' > '''medhulo''' 'sweetheart' '''seno''' 'old' > '''senolo''' 'little old man/woman' ===Collective=== The suffix '''-ia''' is attached to noun stems to form collective plurals. These often have specialized meanings which are not predictable. This suffix is commonly used in refering to a group of animals such as a herd or flock. If the noun stem is vowel-final, the suffix is realized as '''-ya'''. '''dont''' 'tooth' > '''dontia''' 'set of teeth; dentures' '''gwoo''' 'cow, bovine' > '''gwooya''' 'cattle, herd of cattle' '''owi''' 'sheep' > '''owiya''' 'flock of sheep' '''fraater''' 'brother' > '''fraateria''' 'brotherhood' ===Characteristic=== The suffix '''-wo''' is attached to noun stems to refer to an object or individual that is characterized by the possession of the noun. '''chirn''' 'horn' > '''chirnwo''' 'animal having horns; ruminant' '''roto''' 'wheel' > '''rotowo''' 'having wheels; i.e., vehicle' ===Agentive=== The suffix '''-(i)ter''' is used to derive agentive nouns from verbs. '''doo-''' 'give' > '''dooter''' 'giver' '''kwer-''' 'make, form' > '''kweriter''' 'creator' '''jen-''' 'beget' > '''jeniter''' 'progenitor, ancestor' ===Thematic=== The suffix '''-men''' is used to derive nouns from a few verb stems. '''see-''' 'sow' > '''seemen''' 'seed' '''yos-''' 'gird' > '''yosmen''' 'belt' '''sreu-''' 'flow' > '''sreumen''' 'stream' ===Instrumental=== The suffix '''-tro''' is attached to verbal stems to refer to instruments used in performing the action denoted by the verb. '''sker-''' 'shear, shave' > '''skertro''' 'shears, scissors; razor' '''ches-''' 'cut' > '''chestro''' 'knife' '''aru-''' 'plow' > '''arutro''' 'plow' ===Other nominalizers=== In addition to the suffixes with the specific meanings given above, there are also two other methods for deriving noun stems with less easily specified meanings. The first is zero derivation; zero derivation occurs when a word such as an adjective or verb is simply used as if it were a noun. '''seno''' 'old' > 'old man, woman' '''mej''' 'big' > 'large person, thing' '''pepkwent''' 'boiled' > 'boiled (egg)' Secondly, noun stems can be formed by suffixing '''-ti''' to an existing verb or adjective stem. These derived forms often have idiosyncratic meanings. '''dens''' 'thick' > '''densti''' 'thickness' '''ovro''' 'strong, violent' > '''ovroti''' 'strength, violence' '''sreu-''' 'flow' > '''sreuti''' 'stream' '''mir-''' 'die' > '''mirti''' 'mortal' ==Compounds== Another common way of forming new nouns in Shemspreg is by compounding. Compounds are words formed by putting together two or more other words or stems. In Shemspreg, the elements of a compound are always separated by a hyphen in writing. '''aus-aano''' 'earring' ('''aus''' 'ear' + '''aano''' 'ring') '''puur-mil''' 'wheat grinder' ('''puur''' 'wheat' + '''mil''' 'mill, grinder') '''kree-dom''' 'store' ('''kree-''' 'buy' + '''dom''' 'house') '''dyeus-pater''' 'supreme deity' ('''dyeus''' 'sky' + '''pater''' 'father') '''swekru-maater''' 'mother-in-law' ('''swekru''' 'in-law' + '''maater''' 'mother') '''owi-paater''' 'shepherd' ('''owi''' 'sheep' + '''paa-''' 'feed' + '''-ter''' 'AGT') ==Noun phrases== Noun phrases are one or more words which function together in the same way as single nouns. The functions of noun phrases, like nouns, is to refer to the participants in discourse. Within sentences, noun phrases are always in syntactic relations such as subject, object, possessor, or predicate noun. These syntactic roles are indicated in two ways: i) by case suffixes on nouns themselves, or ii) by prepositions. Noun phrases can consist of a single noun or pronoun; noun phrases can also be more complex, consisting of a head noun with other words used to modify the head noun. The head noun may be preceded by a demonstrative, a number or quantifier, a possessive noun or pronoun, and one or more modifying adjectives. Participial and prepositional phrases may either precede or follow the head noun, while relative clauses generally follow the head noun. Examples of more complex noun phrases are given below. '''kwetwer seno wiros''' {| | kwetwer || seno || wiro || -s |- | four || old || man || -PL |} 'four old men' '''me leluvent maater''' {| | me || le- || luv || -ent || maater |- | 1s:GEN || PERF- || love:0 || -PTC || mother |} 'my dear mother' '''ne wilnam wesent owi''' {| | ne || wilna || -m || wes || -ent || owi |- |not || wool || -OBL || wear || -PTC || sheep |} 'a sheep without wool' (lit: "a sheep [who is] not wearing wool") '''so dom en perkwum''' {| | so || dom || en || perkwu || -m |- | that || house || in || forest || -OBL |} 'that house in the forest' or '''so en perkwum dom''' {| | so || en || perkwu || -m || dom |- | that || in || forest || -OBL || house |} 'that house in the forest' '''deru kwim rotowo khweghuni''' {| | deru || kwi || -m || rotowo || khwe- || ghun || -i |- |tree || REL || -OBL || car || PERF- || strike:0 || -PAST |} 'the tree which the car struck' ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Shemspreg pronouns and other particles 3820 24755 2007-08-28T21:57:43Z Elzinga 315 Pronouns are words which can stand in for other words and phrases. There are several different types of pronouns in Shemspreg which are discussed in this section: personal pronouns, demonstratives, interrogative and relative pronouns, and indefinite pronouns. In addition, I also discuss numerals, conjunctions, and quantifiers. ==Personal pronouns== The personal pronouns distinguish three persons and two numbers. They are also inflected for case. They are given in the table below. {| cellspacing=5 | || nom || gen || obl |- | 1sing || '''ej''' || '''me''' || '''me''' |- | 2sing || '''tu''' || '''te''' || '''te''' |- | 3sing || '''so''' || '''sos''' || '''som''' |- | || || || |- | 1plur || '''we''' || '''nos''' || '''nos''' |- | 2plur || '''yu''' || '''wos''' || '''wos''' |- | 3plur || '''to''' || '''tos''' || '''tom''' |} Reflexive pronouns are formed by suffixing '''-swe''' to the genitive pronoun stems; the plural and third person singular pronouns delete '''-s''' before suffixation of '''-swe'''. {| cellspacing=5 | 1sing || '''meswe''' || 'myself' |- | 2sing || '''teswe''' || 'yourself' |- | 3sing || '''soswe''' || 'him/her/itself' |- | || || |- | 1plur || '''noswe''' || 'ourselves' |- | 2plur || '''woswe''' || 'yourselves' |- | 3plur || '''toswe''' || 'themselves' |} In possession, the reflexive pronoun is attached as a clitic to the end of the noun phrase it possesses. '''so gwegumi ad domomswe.''' {| | so || gwe- || gum || -i || ad || dom || -om || =swe |- | 3s:NOM || PERF- || come:0 || -PAST || at || house || -OBL || =REFL |} 'He arrived at his (own) house.' When the regular third person possessive pronouns are used, they are understood as not being coreferential with a previously mentioned third person. '''so gwegumi ad sos domom.''' {| | so || gwe- || gum || -i || ad || so || -s || dom || -om |- | 3s:NOM || PERF- || come:0 || -PAST || at || 3s || -GEN || house || -OBL |} 'He[1] arrived at his[2] house.' ==Demonstrative pronouns== Demonstrative pronouns in Shemspreg distinguish between two degrees of deixis corresponding to English 'this' and 'that'. The inflection of the proximal ('this') and distal ('that') demonstratives are given below. Note that the distal demonstrative is identical to the third person pronouns. {| cellspacing=5 | 'this' || sing || plur |- | nom || '''id''' || '''ya''' |- | gen || '''is''' || '''yas''' |- | obl || '''im''' || '''yam''' |- | || || |- | 'that' || sing || plur |- | nom || '''so''' || '''to''' |- | gen || '''sos''' || '''tos''' |- | obl || '''som''' || '''tom''' |} ==Interrogative and relative pronouns== The interrogative pronouns are formed from the stem '''kwi''', meaning 'who' or 'what'. '''kwi''' 'who, what' '''kwinu''' 'when' (lit: 'what now') '''kwicho''' 'where' (lit: 'what there') '''kwimod''' 'how' (lit: 'what manner') '''kwige''' 'why' (lit: 'what because') The interrogative '''kwi''' 'who, what' is inflected for case in the same manner as the demonstrative pronouns; i.e., '''kwi, kwis, kwim'''. The other interrogatives are not inflected for case. Examples of their use are provided below. '''kwi api abelesom?''' {| | kwi || a- || p || -i || abel || -es || -om |- | who || PERF- || pick:0 || -PAST || apple || -PL || -OBL |} 'Who picked the apples?' '''kwim tu eskwi?''' {| | kwi || -m || tu || e- || skw || -i |- | who || -OBL || 2s || PERF- || see:0 || -PAST |} 'Who did you see?' '''kwis kwon edi shuum?''' {| | kwi || -s || kwon || e- || d || -i || shuu || -m |- | who || -GEN || dog || PERF- || eat:0 || -PAST || fish || -OBL |} 'Whose dog ate the fish?' '''kwinu so wiro gweguni?''' {| | kwinu || so || wiro || gwe- || gun || -i |- | when || that || man || PERF- || come:0 || -PAST |} 'When did that man arrive?' '''kwicho wech es?''' {| | kwicho || wech || es |- | where || village || be:PRES |} 'Where is the village?' '''kwige Jan woses kwonom?''' {| | kwige || Jan || wos || -es || kwon || -om |- | why || John || sell || -PRES || dog || -OBL |} 'Why is John selling the dog?' '''kwimod so wiro gweguni?''' {| | kwimod || so || wiro || gwe- || gun || -i |- | How || that || man || PERF- || come:0 || -PAST |} 'How did that man arrive?' The interrogative pronouns are also used as relative pronouns. The case of a relative pronoun is determined by its function in the subordinate clause. In the first of the following two examples, the relative pronoun functions as the subject of the embedded clause and is thus in the nominative case, while in the second example the relative pronoun functions as the object of the embedded clause and is inflected for oblique case. '''ej eskwi wirom kwi dodoi patatom ad Sinanom.''' {| | ej || e- || skw || -i || wiro || -m || kwi || do- || do || -i || patat || -om || ad || Sinan || -om |- | 1s || IMPF- || see:0 || -PAST || man || -OBL || REL:NOM || PERF- || give:0 || -PAST || potato || -OBL || to || Sinan || -OBL |} 'I saw the man who gave Sinan the potato.' '''ej edi patatom kwim dodoi Hasan ad Sinanom.''' {| | ej || e- || d || -i || patat || -om || kwi || -m || do- || do || -i || Hasan || ad || Sinan || -om |- | 1s:NOM || PERF- || eat:0 || -PAST || potato || -OBL || REL || -OBL || PERF- || give:0 || -PAST || Hasan || to || Sinan || -OBL |} 'I ate the potato that Hasan gave to Sinan.' ==Indefinite pronouns== Indefinite pronouns are formed from the stems '''oi-''' 'some' and '''e-''' 'any'. Indefinite pronouns use many of the same stems as the interrogative/relative pronouns discussed above. '''oi''' 'someone, something' '''oinu''' 'sometime' '''oicho''' 'somewhere' '''oimod''' 'somehow' '''e''' 'anyone, anything' '''enu''' 'anytime' '''echo''' 'anywhere' '''emod''' 'anyhow' ==Numerals== The numerals in Shemspreg comprise a relatively small set of roots which are the source for a number of derivational patterns. When the roots are used alone, they are equivalent to ordinary cardinal numbers; there are additional derivational patterns which yield ordinal numbers, numerical adverbs, fractions, and multiplicative verbs. These are discussed in turn below. ===Cardinals=== The cardinal numbers of Shemspreg are given below. Note that for twenty and its derivatives there are alternate forms. Numerals past the single digits + 10 are formed by compounding for the most part; there are also separate roots for twenty, hundred, thousand, and half. one '''oino''' two '''dwo''' three '''tree''' four '''kwetwer''' five '''penkwe''' six '''sweks''' seven '''septim''' eight '''okto''' nine '''newin''' ten '''dechim''' eleven '''dechim-oino''' twelve '''dechim-dwo''' thirteen '''dechim-tree''' fourteen '''dechim-kwetwer''' fifteen '''dechim-penkwe''' sixteen '''dechim-sweks''' seventeen '''dechim-septim''' eighteen '''dechim-okto''' nineteen '''dechim-newin''' twenty '''wichimti (dwodechim)''' twenty-one '''wichimti-oyno (dwodechim-oino)''' thirty '''treedechim''' forty '''kwetwerdechim''' fifty '''penkwedechim''' sixty '''sweksdechim''' seventy '''septimdechim''' eighty '''oktodechim''' ninety '''newindechim''' hundred '''chimtom''' thousand '''sheslo''' one half '''seemi''' ===Ordinals=== The ordinals for 'first' and 'second' are irregular and are derived directly from Proto-Indo-European roots meaning 'foremost' (*'''per-''') and 'following' (*'''sekw-'''). All other ordinals are formed by suffixing '''-to''' to the cardinal numbers (this option is available for 'first' and 'second' and is given in parentheses below). first '''peristo''' ('''oinoto''') second '''sekwent''' ('''dwoto''') third '''treeto''' fourth '''kwetwerto''' etc. ===Numerical adverbs=== Numerical adverbs indicating the number of repetitions of a particular action are formed by suffixing '''-s''' to the cardinal numbers. once '''oinos''' twice '''dwos''' three times '''trees''' etc. ===Fractions=== In Shemspreg, the phrase '''''x'' apo ''y''''' is used to express the fraction 'x/y.' Thus, 3/4 is rendered as '''tree apo kwetwer''' and 5/19 is rendered as '''penkwe apo dechim-newin'''. When the numerator is '1', the fraction may be expressed by simply referring to the denominator as an ordinal. '''kwetwerto''' 'fourth, one fourth' '''newinto''' 'ninth; one ninth' The only exception to this construction is for '''seemi''' 'one half'. ===Multiplicative verbs=== Shemspreg creates multiplicative verbs by incorporating the cardinal numerals into the verb '''pel-'''. '''dwopel''' 'double' '''treepel''' 'triple' '''dwopeles''' 'doubles, is doubling' '''dwopli''' 'was doubling' '''dwopepli''' 'doubled' '''dwopelent''' 'doubling' '''dwopeplent''' 'doubled' ==Conjunctions== Conjunctions are particles which serve to join two or more constituents together; these constituents may be single words or whole phrases or sentences. There are two coordinating conjunctions in Shemspreg; '''=kwe''' 'and' and '''=we''' 'or'. These conjunctions are clitics; when coordinating words in a simple list, the conjunction attaches to the last element of the list. '''we seskwi owim, taurom, echwosomkwe.''' {| | we || se- || skw || -i || owi || -m || tauro || -m || echwo || -s || -om || =kwe |- | 1p:NOM || PERF- || see:0 || -PAST || sheep || -OBL || bull || -OBL || horse || -PL || -OBL || =and |} 'We saw (a) sheep, (a) bull, and (some) horses.' '''ed abelom kirnosomwe!''' {| | ed || abel || -om || kirno || -s || -om || =we |- | eat:IMP || apple || -OBL || cherry || -PL || -OBL || =or |} 'Eat (an) apple or (some) cherries!' When coordinating phrases or clauses, the conjunction attaches to the end of the initial element. '''sos gwer wezho-, sos mej gem-deukentom, soskwe oochu shem-ferentom''' {| | so || -s || gwer || wezho- || so || -s || mej || gem- || deuk || -ent || -om || so || -s || =kwe || oochu || shem- || fer || -ent || -om |- | that || -GEN || heavy || wagon- || that || -GEN || large || load- || pull || -PTC || -OBL || that || -GEN || =and || quickly || human- || bear || -PTC || -OBL |} 'that (one) pulling a heavy wagon, that (one) a large load; and that (one) bearing a human quickly.' ==Quantifiers== Quantifiers are like numerals in that they give information about the number of elements in a noun phrase. Quantifiers can stand alone as noun phrases, much as pronouns can. The most common quantifiers are given below. all '''plino''' few '''pau''' many '''pli''' some '''oi''' any '''e''' ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Shemspreg verbs 3821 40982 2008-12-18T14:41:42Z Elzinga 315 Verbs are words which express actions, perceptions, movements, mental conditions, and other relations. Verbs are at the core of all sentences, and are the most complex words in the language. Verbs are used to distinguish tense, aspect, valency, and mood-categories whose force or meaning apply to the whole sentence. In this chapter I discuss the formation and use of verbal stems and inflection, as well as processes used to derive new verbs. ==Grade== There are two stems or grades which can be derived from each verbal root: full and reduced. The distinction between full and reduced grades is fundamental to tense distinctions in Shemspreg; full grade marks non-past tense, and reduced grade marks past tense. The examples below show how verbal grades can cue tense with the verb root '''nem-''' 'take'. {| cellspacing=5 | a. || '''nemes''' 'takes, is taking' |- | b. || '''enmi''' 'was taking' |- | || '''nenmi''' 'took' |} In (a), the full grade of the verb is used with present tense meaning. In (b) the reduced grade in used in both forms with past tense meaning. In this section I discuss how the grades are formed. ===Full grade=== The full grade is phonologically identical to the verbal root, which is the dictionary entry form; it is normally a single syllable in length. The full grade may or may not begin or end with a consonant. '''nem-''' 'take' '''sed-''' 'sit' '''legh-''' 'lay' '''mer-''' 'die' '''ed-''' 'eat' '''aj-''' 'drive (livestock)' '''es-''' 'be' '''doo-''' 'give' '''poo-''' 'drink' '''paa-''' 'feed' '''ei-''' 'go' The full grade may also contain a long vowel or diphthong. '''saag-''' 'seek' '''leekw-''' 'leave (tr)' '''leezh-''' 'lick' '''woid-''' 'know' '''leuv-''' 'love' '''aig-''' 'swing' Many roots have three consonants either in the arrangement CRVC- or CVRC-, where R is a sonorant: '''r, l''' or '''n'''. '''spreg-''' 'speak' '''melj-''' 'milk' '''terk-''' 'twist' '''fend-''' 'tie' ===Reduced grade=== The reduced grade is derived from the root. To form the reduced grade from a root with a long vowel, the long vowel is shortened. {| cellspacing=5 | root || reduced grade || gloss |- | '''saag-''' || '''sag-''' || 'seek' |- | '''leekw-''' || '''lekw-''' || 'leave (tr)' |- | '''leezh-''' || '''lezh-''' || 'lick' |- | '''doo-''' || '''do-''' || 'give' |} To form the reduced grade from a root with a diphthong, the diphthong is reduced to its second member. {| cellspacing=5 | root || reduced grade || gloss |- | '''woid-''' || '''wid-''' || 'know' |- | '''pneu-''' || '''pnu-''' || 'blow' |- | '''aig-''' || '''ig-''' || 'swing' |- | '''snau-''' || '''snu-''' || 'float' |- | '''pneu-''' || '''pnu-''' || 'breathe' |- | '''ei-''' || '''i-''' || 'go' |} To form the reduced grade from a root with a short vowel, the short vowel is simply deleted. {| cellspacing=5 | root || reduced grade || gloss |- | '''nem-''' || '''nm-''' || 'take' |- | '''sed-''' || '''sd-''' || 'sit' |- | '''legh-''' || '''lgh-''' || 'lay' |- | '''mer-''' || '''mr-''' || 'die' |- | '''ed-''' || '''d-''' || 'eat' |- | '''aj-''' || '''j-''' || 'drive (livestock)' |- | '''es-''' || '''s-''' || 'be' |} If the first consonant of a verb root is a rounded velar ('''kw''', '''gw''', or '''khw'''), the rounding of the rounded velar is vocalized as a '''u''' creating a '''CuC''' form for reduced grade. Roots with three consonants yield a '''CRC''' sequence when the vowel is deleted to create the reduced grade. In these cases, the vowel '''i''' replaces the root vowel. If the root is of the form '''CRVC-''' the reduced grade is '''CRiC-''' (a). If the root is of the form '''CVRC-''' the reduced grade is '''CiRC-''' (b). {| cellspacing=5 | || root || reduced grade || gloss |- | a. || '''spreg-''' || '''sprig-''' || 'speak' |- | || '''plech-''' || '''plich-''' || 'plait' |- | || '''smer-''' || '''smir-''' || 'remember' |- |- | b. || '''melj-''' || '''milj-''' || 'milk' |- | || '''terk-''' || '''tirk-''' || 'twist' |- | || '''fend-''' || '''find-''' || 'tie' |} ==Tense== Verbs in Shemspreg distinguish between past and non-past tenses. As mentioned above, this contrast is cued by the use of the full and reduced grades of the verb. In addition, suffixes are used to mark tense. ===Past tense=== Verbs in the past tense use the reduced grade, to which the suffix '''-i''' is added. '''esagi''' 'was seeking' '''elezhi''' 'was licking' '''enmi''' 'was taking' '''esdi''' 'was sitting' '''edi''' 'was eating' '''esprigi''' 'was speaking' '''etirki''' 'was twisting' If the stem ends in '''e''' or '''i''', an epenthetic '''y''' is inserted upon suffixation of '''-i'''. '''eweyi''' 'was blowing' (< '''wee-''' 'blow') '''emeyi''' 'was measuring' (< '''mee-''' 'measure') ===Non-past tense=== Non-past tense verbs use the full grade and bear the suffix '''-es'''. If the verbal stem ends with a vowel, the '''e''' is deleted upon suffixation of '''-es'''. '''paas''' 'guards, is guarding' '''doos''' 'gives, is giving' If the verbal stem ends in a glide, there will be variation in the realization of the present tense suffix; if the glide is interpreted as a sonorant consonant in the coda, the present tense suffix will be vowel-initial '''es''' (a). The glide can also be analyzed as belonging to the nucleus with the stem vowel, in which case the present tense suffix is realized as '''s''' (b). {| cellspacing=5 | || '''snau-''' 'float, swim' |- | a. || '''snawes''' 'floats, swims; is floating, swimming' |- | b. || '''snaus''' 'floats, swims; is floating, swimming' |} The past tenses are used for events occuring before the moment of utterance, while the non-past tense is used for events occuring at or following the moment of utterance. ==Aspect== Shemspreg distinguishes between two verbal aspects in the past tense: perfective and imperfective. Perfective aspect indicates completed action, or action which is inherently complete, while imperfective aspect indicates incomplete or "open-ended" action. Both imperfective and perfective aspects are formed from the stem created by suffixation of '''-i''' to the reduced grade. ===Imperfective=== The imperfective is marked by the prefix '''e-''' which is attached to the past tense stem consisting of the reduced grade verb followed by the suffix '''-i'''. {| cellspacing=5 | root || imperfective |- | '''snau-''' || '''esnui''' || 'was floating, swimming' |- | '''sed-''' || '''esdi''' || 'was sitting' |- | '''saag-''' || '''esagi''' || 'was seeking' |- | '''spreg-''' || '''esprigi''' || 'was speaking' |} ===Perfective=== The perfective in Shemspreg is marked by prefixal reduplication. Reduplication is the repetition of part or all of the stem; in Shemspreg perfective reduplication is partial since only part of the stem is repeated. There are three basic reduplication patterns: 1) stems without an initial consonant cluster, 2) stems beginning with a cluster introduced by a consonant other than '''s''', and 3) stems beginning with a cluster introduced by '''s'''. In all cases, the reduplicant, or copied portion of the stem, takes the shape of a simple open syllable. For stems beginning with a simple consonant or with a vowel, the reduplicant consists of the initial consonant and the stem vowel, or of the stem vowel itself when there is no initial consonant. {| cellspacing=5 | root || perfective |- | '''saag-''' || '''sasagi''' || 'sought' |- | '''woid-''' || '''wowidi''' || 'knew' |- | '''doo-''' || '''dodoi''' || 'gave' |- | '''sed-''' || '''sesdi''' || 'sat' |- | '''nem-''' || '''nenmi''' || 'took' |- | '''ed-''' || '''edi''' || 'ate' |} The perfective reduplicant for stems beginning with a consonant cluster introduced by a consonant other than '''s''' consists of the initial consonant only followed by the stem vowel. {| cellspacing=5 | root || perfective |- | '''pneu-''' || '''pepnui''' || 'breathed' |- | '''klee-''' || '''kekleyi''' || 'leaned, inclined' |- | '''gnoo-''' || '''gognoi''' || 'knew' |} Stems beginning with a consonant cluster introduced by '''s''' form the reduplicant by first separating the '''s''' from the stem. If a single consonant is left, the reduplicant consists of this consonant followed by the stem vowel, preceded by the initial '''s'''. {| cellspacing=5 | root || perfective |- | '''staa-''' || '''statai''' || 'stood' |- | '''snau-''' || '''snanui''' || 'floated, swam' |- | '''sker-''' || '''skekri''' || 'laughed' |} If after separating the '''s''' there is a consonant cluster, the reduplicant consists of the initial consonant followed by the stem vowel, preceded by the separated '''s'''. {| cellspacing=5 | root || perfective |- | '''spreg-''' || '''speprigi''' || 'speak' |- | '''splei-''' || '''spepliyi''' || 'split' |- | '''spyeu-''' || '''spepyui''' || 'spit' |} ==Valency== In any Shemspreg sentence there are obligatory arguments which must be present to fill the roles implicit in the verbal stem. Thus a transitive verb like '''khwen-''' 'hit' requires two arguments: an agent (one who hits) and a patient (one who is hit). The number of obligatory arguments which a verbal stem requires is its valency. There are two morphological operations in Shemspreg which can alter the inherent valency of a verb: these are 1) passive, and 2) causative. ===Passive=== It is often useful to omit mention of the agent; this reduces the valency of the verb by one. In many modern Indo-European languages, this is accomplished by the passive verbal form. In Shemspreg, the passive is marked by the suffix '''-a''' which immediately follows the verbal stem; tense suffixes are attached to this derived stem. In the Shemspreg passive, the agent may be optionally expressed as an object of the preposition '''ge''' 'by reason of, because'. Examples are given below. '''kwon edi meemsom.''' {| | kwon || e- || d || -i || meems || -om |- | dog || PERF- || eat:0 || -PAST || meat || -OBL |} 'The dog ate meat.' '''meems edai (ge kwonom).''' {| | meems || e- || d || -a || -i || (ge || kwon || -om) |- | meat || IMPF- || eat:0 || -PASS || -PAST || (by || dog || -OBL) |} 'The meat was eaten (by the dog).' '''rotowo khweghuni derum.''' {| | rotowo || khwe- || ghun || -i || deru || -m |- | car || PERF- || hit:0 || -PAST || tree || -OBL |} 'The car hit the tree.' '''deru khweghunai (ge rotowom).''' {| | deru || khwe- || ghun || -a || -i || (ge || rotowo || -m) |- | tree || PERF- || hit:0 || -PASS || -PAST || (by || car || -OBL) |} 'The tree was hit by the car.' ===Causative=== In addition to the passive, Shemspreg also has an operation which increases the valency of a verbal stem by one. This is useful for expressing the discourse participant which is the cause of an action (causative) in addition to the obligatory arguments required by a verbal stem. This meaning is encoded in the suffix '''-eyo''' which is attached to the verbal stem, and to which tense suffixes are added. Examples are provided below for the verb '''ed-''' 'eat' (the verb '''edeyo-''' 'cause to eat' is probably better translated as 'feed'). '''kwon edi meemsom.''' {| | kwon || e- || d || -i || meems || -om |- | dog || IMPF- || eat:0 || -PAST || meat || -OBL |} 'The dog was eating some meat.' '''wiro edeyoi meemsom ad kwonom.''' {| | wiro || e- || d || -eyo || -i || meems || -om || ad || kwon || -om |- | man || IMPF- || eat:0 || -CAUS || -PAST || meat || -OBL || to || dog || -OBL |} 'The man was feeding the dog some meat.' An interesting feature of both the passive and the causative is that in each case the agent of the underived predicate is demoted from subject upon derivation. ==Imperative== The stem formed from the full grade of the verb is used as the imperative; no tense suffixes are added. '''staa swe''' {| | staa || swe |- | stand:IMP || REFL |} 'Stand up!' '''deuk wezhom''' {| | deuk || wezho || -m |- | pull:IMP || wagon || -OBL |} 'Pull the wagon!' The diphthongs '''ei''' and '''ou''' are simplified to long vowels when they are final on a verb stem used as an imperative. '''awee!''' {| | au || ei |- | away || go:IMP |} 'Go away!' '''khoo echwosom!''' {| | khou || echwo || -s || -om |- | pay.attention.to:IMP || horse || -PL || -OBL |} 'Pay attention to the horses!' ==Participles== Participles are verbal forms which have nominal and adjectival functions. There are two participles in Shemspreg: the present and the past participle. The marker for both participles is the suffix '''-ent'''. The present participle is formed from the non-past verbal stem by removing the non-past tense suffix '''-es''' and adding the participial suffix '''-ent''' (a). The past participle is formed from the pefective (reduplicating) verbal stem by removing the past tense suffix '''-i''' and adding '''-ent''' (b). {| cellspacing=5 | || '''nem-''' 'take' |- | a. || '''nement''' present participle ('taking') |- |- | b. || '''nenment''' past participle ('taken') |} If the verbal stem ends with a vowel, the '''e''' of the participial suffix is deleted. {| cellspacing=5 | a. || '''doo-''' || 'give' |- | || '''doont''' || 'giving' |- | || '''dodont''' || 'given' |- |- | b. || '''pneu-''' || 'blow' |- | || '''pnewent''' || 'blowing' |- | || '''pepnunt''' || 'blown' |} Participles are used both as nouns and as adjectives. When used as nouns they are inflected for case. Participle phrases can also be used in the place of subordinate clauses with regularly inflected (finite) verbs. Used in this way, the subordinate clause becomes an extended noun phrase and is inflected for case when appropriate. a. '''pekwent akwa''' {| | pekw || -ent || akwa |- | cook || -PTC || water |} 'boiling water' b. '''pepkwent oowi''' {| | pe- || pkw || -ent || oowi |- | PERF- || cook:0 || -PTC || egg |} 'boiled egg' c. '''to edi pepkwentom''' {| | to || e- || d || -i || pe- || pkw || -ent || -om |- | 3p:NOM || IMPF- || eat:0 || -PAST || PERF- || cook:0 || -PTC || -OBL |} 'They ate the boiled (ones).' d. '''[ne wilna-wesent] owi''' {| | ne || wilna- || wes || -ent || owi |- | not || wool- || wear || -PTC || sheep |} 'a sheep without wool' (lit: "a sheep [which is] not wool-wearing") e. '''wiro eskwi [kwonos meems-edentom].''' {| | wiro || e- || skw || -i || kwon || -os || meems- || ed || -ent || -om |- | man || IMPF- || see:0 || -PAST || dog || -GEN || meat- || eat || -PTC || -OBL |} 'The man watched the dog eat meat.' (lit: "the dog's meat-eating") In (a) and (b), the participles built on '''pekw-''' 'to cook, boil' are used as adjectives; the present participle pekwent modifies '''akwa''' 'water' and the past participle '''pepkwent''' modifies '''oowi''' 'egg'. In (c) the participle '''pepkwent''' is used as a noun, which is made apparent by case inflection. In (d) the participle phrase '''ne wilna-wesent''' 'wearing no wool' is used adjectivally as a non-finite relative clause modifying '''owi''' 'sheep'; it is thus similar to the examples in (a) and (b). Finally, in (e) the participle phrase '''kwonos meems-edentom''' '(the) dog's eating meat' functions as a non-finite object complement clause; like the example in (c) this is made apparent by the oblique case marking on the participle itself. Also note that in (d) and (e) the direct objects of the participle phrases are incorporated into the participles to form compounds. ==Deriving verbs== Derivational processes yielding verbs are not as common as for nouns; it is much more common to have derived nouns than verbs. Nevertheless, there are two kinds of derivational processes which yield verbs. ===Distributive denominalization=== A limited number of verbal stems can be created from noun stems by attaching the suffix '''-io''' ('''-yo''' for vowel-final stems); the derived verb forms have the meaning of spreading or distributing the nominal referent over an area. '''sal''' 'salt' > '''salio''' 'to salt, season' '''sker/n-''' 'dung' > '''skenio''' 'to spread dung, manure; to fertilize' The resulting verbal stem participates in regular verbal inflection; the reduced grade of these derived stems is formed from the original noun stem, to which the suffix '''-io''' is attached. '''sasliont''' 'seasoned' '''skekniont''' 'fertilized' ===Negation=== Verbal negation can be syntactic or morphological. Syntactic negation is dealt with in [[Shemspreg sentences]]. Morphological negation is accomplished by adding the prefix '''in-''' to a verbal stem; this always has the meaning of undoing an action previously done, where the effects of the action can be reversed. Phonologically, the prefix assimilates in place of articulation to a following stop. '''paaj-''' 'lock, fasten' '''impaaj-''' 'unlock, unfasten' '''deu-''' 'fit, put together' '''indeu-''' 'take apart' '''wes-''' 'dress' '''inwes-''' 'undress' When a negated verb is inflected for past tense (and thus takes a prefix), the negative prefix occurs on the outside of the the stem. '''impaaj-''' 'unlock, unfasten' '''inepaji''' 'is unlocking' '''impapaji''' 'unlocked' ===Preverbs=== Shemspreg contains a number of particles which serve both as prepositions and as verbal prefixes, much like modern Germanic or Slavic languages. These particles are called preverbs. A list of common Shemspreg preverbs is given below. {| cellspacing=5 |'''inder-''' 'under' || '''kom-''' 'with (instr)' |- | '''ambi-''' 'around' || '''meta-''' 'between, with' |- | '''an-''' 'on, upwards' || '''ni-''' 'downwards' |- | '''anti-''' 'over, against' || '''ovi-''' 'towards' |- | '''apo-''' 'from, as of' || '''pos(t)- ''' 'after, behind' |- | '''au-''' 'away from' || '''pro-''' 'ahead, before' |- | '''deksi-''' 'at the right side' || '''som-''' 'together' |- | '''ekhs-''' 'out' || '''traos-''' 'through' |- | '''en-''' 'in' || '''ud-''' 'on high' |- | '''enter-''' 'between' || '''uper-''' 'over' |- | '''eti-''' 'over, beyond' || '''upo-''' 'under' |} In prefixed verb constructions, the imperfective past tense form is marked only by the zero grade and the suffix '''-i'''; the imperfective prefix '''e-''' is omitted. The perfective past tense is formed by reduplication of the verb stem as expected, preceded by the prefix. Examples for the verb '''somspreg-''' 'converse' are given below. '''somspreg-''' 'converse (lit. "talk together")' '''somsprigi''' 'was conversing' '''somspeprigi''' 'conversed' Many verbs derived by prefixing are semantically transparent, but in some cases the meaning of the complex form cannot be predicted from the meanings of the parts. The examples below show some typical prefixed verbs. a. '''ei-''' 'go' '''an-''' 'on, upwards' > '''anei-''' 'ascend' '''ni-''' 'downwards' > '''niyei-''' 'descend' '''au-''' 'away from'> '''awei-''' 'go away' '''kom-''' 'with' > '''komei-''' 'accompany' '''enter-''' 'between' > '''enterei-''' 'intervene, mediate' b. '''staa-''' 'stand' '''som-''' 'together' > '''somstaa-''' 'support' '''anti-''' 'against' > '''antistaa-''' 'resist' '''apo-''' 'from' > '''apostaa-''' 'reject' '''ni-''' 'down' > '''nistaa-''' 'stop' c. '''spreg-''' 'talk' '''som-''' 'together' > '''somspreg-''' 'converse' '''eti-''' 'over' > '''etispreg-''' 'boast, brag' '''anti-''' 'against' > '''antispreg-''' 'argue' '''ambi-''' 'around' > '''ambispreg-''' 'prevaricate' ==Modal verbs== Modal verbs are verbs which indicate the attitude of the speaker towards the action expressed in the sentence: should it happen? can it happen? There are three modals available in Shemspreg; they are given below. {| cellspacing=5 | may (possibility) || '''pot-''' |- | must (necessity) || '''som-''' |- | can (ability) || '''gnoo-''' |} Modals have syntactic properties which set them apart from regular verbs. Most notably, they take the "dummy" subject '''so''' and a complement clause as an object. The syntax of modals is discussed further in [[Shemspreg sentences]]. ==Verb phrases== Just as noun phrases serve to refer to the participants in discourse, verb phrases serve as predicates of these participants. That is, verb phrases assert some quality, property, action or event of some discourse participant. Verb phrases may contain other elements besides a verb. Normally, the verb is initial in a verb phrase. normal order: [V XP] '''Jan edes abelesom.''' {| | Jan || ed || -es || abel || -es || -om |- | John || eat || -PRES || apple || -PL || -OBL |} 'John is eating apples.' Occasionally, when the object of a verb does not have a specific referent, it may precede the verb in a verb phrase. Such an object will not bear the oblique case marker -(o)m, and is joined to the verb in writing with a hyphen, just as elements of a compound are joined together. Such an object is said to be '''incorporated'''. '''Jan abel-edes.''' {| | Jan || abel- || ed || -es |- | John || apple- || eat || -PRES |} 'John eats apples.' (lit: "John apple-eats.") Participle phrases resemble verb phrases with incorporated objects in that the object i) is joined to the participle like a compound, and ii) doesn't bear the oblique case marker. a. '''[ne wilna-wesent] owi''' {| | ne || wilna- || wes || -ent || owi |- | not || wool- || wear || -PTC || sheep |} 'a sheep without wool' (lit: "a sheep [who is] not wool-wearing") b. '''wiro eskwi [kwonos meems-edentom].''' {| | wiro || e- || skw || -i || kwon || -os || meems- || ed || -ent || -om |- | man || IMPF- || see:0 || -PAST || dog || -GEN || meat- || eat || -PTC || -OBL |} 'The man watched the dog eat meat.' (lit: "the dog's meat eating") ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Shemspreg adjectives 3822 24435 2007-08-11T22:17:39Z Elzinga 315 The primary function of adjectives is to modify nouns in noun phrases. In Shemspreg, adjectives modify nouns, act as predicates, and can even function as heads of noun phrases. In this chapter I discuss the inflection of adjectives and derivational processes involving adjectives. ==Adjective inflection== Adjectives carry inflection for comparative and superlative degrees. The comparative is formed by adding the suffix '''-ios''' to consonant-final adjective stems. '''khwer''' 'warm' '''khwerios''' 'warmer' If the adjective stem ends in a vowel, the '''i''' of the comparative suffix is realized as the glide '''y'''. '''alvo''' 'white' '''alvoyos''' 'whiter' The pivot construction in Shemspreg is illustrated below. In this construction, the comparative adjective precedes the standard of comparison, which is expressed as a prepositional phrase using '''ad''' 'to'. '''ulkwo es mejios ad kwonom.''' {| | ulkwo || es || mej || -ios || ad || kwon || -om |- | wolf || be:PRES || big || -COMP || to || dog || -OBL |} '(A) wolf is bigger than (a) dog.' The superlative degree is formed by adding the suffix '''-isto''' to consonant-final stems, or by adding '''-sto''' to vowel-final stems. '''khwer''' 'warm' '''khweristo''' 'warmest' '''alvo''' 'white' '''alvosto''' 'whitest' Nouns which are modified by an adjective in the superlative degree are inflected for plural number and genitive case; an adjective in the superlative degree thus behaves syntactically like a noun. '''domesos khweristo''' {| | dom || -es || -os || khwer || -isto |- | house || -PL || -GEN || warm || -SUP |} '(the) warmest house' (lit: 'the warmest of houses') ==Deriving adjectives== ===Having=== The suffix '''-wo''' has already been encountered in nominal derivational morphology. When attached to a noun stem X, it yields an adjective with the approximate meaning 'having X, characterized by X'. '''sal''' 'salt' > '''salwo''' 'salty' '''gwi''' 'life' > '''gwiwo''' 'alive, having life' '''wiis''' 'power' > '''wiiswo''' 'powerful' ===Negation=== The prefix '''in-''' has already been seen in verbal morphology. When attached to an adjective, it creates the antonym of the adjective. It is often found with participles. '''mirto''' 'mortal' (from '''mir-''' 'to die') > '''inmirto''' 'immortal' '''chechukent''' 'clean' (from '''cheuk-''' 'to clean') > '''inchechukent''' 'unclean' ===Adjectival marker=== The suffix '''-u''' serves to derive adjectives from nouns and verbs. It differs from the participial ending '''-(e)nt''' in that '''-u''' creates adjectives whose derivations are not always semantically transparent. Also, many adjectives ending in '''-u''' are not based on recognizable verbal stems. '''anj-''' 'strangle, pinch off' > '''anju''' 'narrow' '''wes-''' 'be, exist, become' > '''wesu''' 'good' '''legh-''' 'lay' > '''leghu''' 'light' '''medh''' 'honey' > '''medhu''' 'sweet' '''diw''' 'day' > '''diwu''' 'daily' '''oochu''' 'swift' '''nogu''' 'naked' '''gweru''' 'heavy' ==Deriving adverbs== Adverbs can be derived from adjectives by adding the suffix '''-(e)ne'''. '''reej''' 'efficient' > '''reejene''' 'efficiently' '''avro''' 'violent' > '''avrone''' 'violently' '''oochu''' 'swift' > '''oochune''' 'swiftly' ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Shemspreg sentences 3823 24468 2007-08-13T15:07:43Z Elzinga 315 Syntax is the study of how words are combined into phrases and sentences. In this chapter I will focus on the structure of sentences; there are references throughout this grammar to phrases of various sorts, so I will not treat them here. I begin by describing simple sentences and sentences using the verb '''es''' 'to be' and elaborations of these simple sentence types; I then discuss coordinate and other complex sentences. ==Simple sentences== With respect to basic sentence structure, Shemspreg is much like English, though not identical. The basic word order for transitive sentences is Subject + Verb + Object (= SVO). Transitive sentences are sentences with a subject, a verb, and a direct object. '''maater thees sos tekom.''' {| | maater || thee || -s || so || -s || tek || -om |- | mother || suckle || -PRES || 3s || -GEN || child || -OBL |} 'The mother is suckling her child.' '''ej edi tree abelesom.''' {| | ej || e- || d || -i || tree || abel || -es || -om |- | 1s:NOM || PERF- || eat:0 || -PAST || three || apple || -PL || -OBL |} 'I ate three apples.' '''owi skekwi echwosom.''' {| | owi || ske- || kw || -i || echwo || -s || -om |- | sheep || PERF- || see:0 || PAST || horse || -PL || -OBL |} 'The sheep saw horses.' While SVO is the normal word order in Shemspreg transitive sentences, other orders are also common to focus or place emphasis on a particular constituent. '''so wiro epi abelesom.''' {| | so || wiro || e- || p || -i || abel || -es || -om |- | that || man || IMPF- || pick:0 || -PAST || apple || -PL || -OBL |} 'That man was picking apples.' '''abelesom epi so wiro.''' {| | abel || -es || -om || e- || p || -i || so || wiro |- | apple || -PL || -OBL || IMPF- || pick:0 || -PAST || that || man |} 'It was apples that that man was picking.' '''abel-epi so wiro.''' {| | abel || e- || p || -i || so || wiro |- | apple || IMPF- || pick:0 || -PAST || that || man |} 'Picking apples is what that man was doing.' The sentences below are examples of intransitive sentences, which have a subject and a verb, but no object. As with transitive sentences, there is some flexibility of word order when sentence elements other than the subject appear. '''me swekru-vraater weses.''' {| | me || swekru || fraater || wes || -es |- | 1s:GEN || in.law || brother || stay.overnight || -PRES |} 'My brother-in-law is staying overnight.' '''so gwegumi ad domomswe.''' {| | so || gwe- || gum || -i || ad || dom || -om || =swe |- | 3s:NOM || PERF- || come:0 || -PAST || at || house || -OBL || =REFL |} 'He arrived at his (own) house.' '''owi weuri oochu en arum.''' {| | owi || we- || wr || -i || oochu || en || aru || -m |- | sheep || PERF- || turn.away:0 || -PAST || swiftly || in || field || -OBL |} 'The sheep swiftly turned away into the field.' '''oochu weuri owi en arum.''' {| | oochu || we- || wr || -i || owi || en || aru || -m |- | swiftly || PERF- || turn.away:0 || -PAST || sheep || in || field || -OBL |} 'The sheep swiftly turned away into the field.' '''en arum weuri owi oochu.''' {| | en || aru || -m || we- || wr || -i || owi || oochu |- | in || field || -OBL || PERF- || turn.away:0 || -PAST || sheep || swiftly |} 'The sheep swiftly turned away into the field.' Ditransitive sentences require two arguments besides the subject. In such sentences one distinguishes between a direct object, which is inflected for oblique case as in a simple transitive sentence, and an indirect object, which occurs in Shemspreg as a prepositional phrase. '''gwena dodoi yaam kwonom ad tekom.''' {| | gwena || do- || do || -i || yaam || kwon || -om || ad || tek || -om |- | woman || PERF- || give:0 || -PAST || already || dog || -OBL || to || child || -OBL |} 'The woman already gave a dog to the child.' '''wiro stetli chestrom an dezhomom.''' {| | wiro || ste- || tl || -i || chestro || -m || an || dezhom || -om |- | man || PERF- || place:0 || -PAST || knife || -OBL || on || ground || -OBL |} The man put the knife on the ground. '''gwena meles meltom ad me.''' {| | gwena || mel || -es || melto || -m || ad || me |- | woman || tell || -PRES || story || -OBL || to || 1s:OBL |} 'The woman is telling me a story.' =='BE' sentences== There are three kinds of sentences which use the verb '''es''' 'be'. They are: i) equational sentences, ii) existential sentences, and iii) possessive sentences. ===Equational sentences=== Equational sentences are sentences which assert that the subject is characterized by some property or identity, or that it is located in some place. In English these sentences generally have the form: NP be AP/NP/PP. John is a man. The milk is sour. The mouse is in the bowl. Equational sentences in Shemspreg work similarly to those of English; the noun phrase subject is equated with some property or identity by means of the verb '''es''' 'be'. The Shemspreg equivalents of the English sentences above are given below. '''Jan es wiro.''' {| | Jan || es || wiro |- | John || be:PRES || man |} 'John is (a) man.' '''glakt es suuro.''' {| | glakt || es || suuro |- | milk || be:PRES || sour |} 'The milk is sour.' '''muus es en kwerom.''' {| | muus || es || en || kwer || -om |- | mouse || be:PRES || in || bowl || -OBL |} 'The mouse is in the bowl.' ===Existential sentences=== Existential sentences are sentences which assert that some state of affairs exists. In English, existential sentences are introduced by "There is/was...". In Shemspreg, they are introduced by '''(so) es ...'''. Some examples of existential sentences are given below. '''so es muus en kwerom.''' {| | so || es || muus || en || kwer || -om |- | 3s:NOM || be:PRES || mouse || in || bowl || -OBL |} 'There's a mouse in the bowl.' '''es thevu leuk deyent.''' {| | es || thev || leuk || dei || -ent |- | be:PRES || small || light || shine || -PTC |} 'There's a small light shining.' ===Possessive sentences=== Possessive sentences are identical in form to existential sentences since they are also introduced by '''so es ...''' 'it is'. The possessor is expressed by a prepositional phrase headed by ad 'to'. Possessive sentences assert ownership, kinship, or a part/whole relationship, as the following sentences show. '''so es dom ad me.''' {| | so || es || dom || ad || me |- | 3s:NOM || be:PRES || house || to || 1s:OBL |} 'I have a house.' '''so es poti ad Marim.''' {| | so || es || poti || ad || Mari || -m |- | 3s:NOM || be:PRES || husband || to || Mary || -OBL |} 'Mary has a husband.' '''so es ach ardi ad chestrom.''' {| | so || es || ach || ardi || ad || chestro || -m |- | 3s:NOM || be:PRES || sharp || point || to || knife || -OBL |} 'The knife has a sharp point.' ==Elaborations of simple sentences== ===Imperative sentences=== Imperative sentences are used to give commands and make requests. In Shemspreg, there are two features which distinguish imperative sentences from simple sentences. First, imperative sentences often do not have an subject. Since an imperative is used to give an order, the implied subject of the sentence is either '''tu''' 'you (sg)' or or '''yu''' 'you (pl)', both of which are second person pronouns. Second, imperative sentences use the imperative verb form, which is simply the full grade of the verb without any inflection. While imperative sentences generally do not occur with a subject (which is always 2nd person), they may do so to make clear whether a single person or more than one person is being addressed. Some examples of imperative sentences are given below. '''prech te maaterom!''' {| | prech || te || maater || -om |- | ask:IMP || 2s:GEN || mother || -OBL |} 'Ask your mother!' '''ed abelom kirnosomwe!''' {| | ed || abel || -om || kirno || -s || -om || =we |- | eat:IMP || apple || -OBL || cherry || -PL || -OBL || =or |} 'Eat (an) apple or (some) cherries!' ===Negative sentences=== Forming negative sentences in Shemspreg is fairly straightforward; the negation particle '''ne''' is placed immediately before the verb. The examples below contain simple sentences from earlier in this chapter which have been negated by adding '''ne'''. '''so wiro ne epi abelesom.''' {| | so || wiro || ne || e- || p || -i || abel || -es || -om |- | that || man || not || IMPF- || pick:0 || -PAST || apple || -PL || -OBL |} 'That man was not picking apples.' '''me swekru-vraater ne weses.''' {| | me || swekru || fraater || ne || wes || -es |- | 1s:GEN || in.law || brother || not || stay.overnight || -PRES |} 'My brother-in-law is not staying overnight.' '''Jan ne dodoi kwonom ad putlom.''' {| | Jan || ne || do- || do || -i || kwon || -om || ad || putlo || -m |- | John || not || PERF- || give:0 || -PAST || dog || -OBL || to || boy || -OBL |} 'John didn't give a dog to the boy.' '''muus ne es en kwerom.''' {| | muus || ne || es || en || kwer || -om |- | mouse || not || be:PRES || in || bowl || -OBL |} 'The mouse isn't in the bowl.' '''so ne es muus en kwerom.''' {| | so || ne || es || muus || en || kwer || -om |- | 3s:NOM || not || be:PRES || mouse || in || bowl || -OBL |} 'There isn't a mouse in the bowl.' '''ne prech te maaterom!''' {| | ne || prech || te || maater || -om |- | not || ask:IMP || 2s:GEN || mother || -OBL |} 'Don't ask your mother!' ===Yes/no questions=== Yes/no questions are formed by placing the verb before the subject of the sentence, in a pattern familiar from languages like German and French. Some examples are given below. '''epi so wiro abelesom?''' {| | e- || p || -i || so || wiro || abel || -es || -om |- | IMPF- || pick:0 || -PAST || that || man || apple || -PL || -OBL |} 'Was that man picking apples?' '''weses me swekru-vraater?''' {| | wes || -es || me || swekru || fraater |- | stay.overnight || -PRES || 1s:GEN || in.law || brother |} 'Is my brother-in-law staying overnight?' '''dodoi Jan kwonom ad putlom?''' {| | do- || do || -i || Jan || kwon || -om || ad || putlo || -m |- | PERF- || give:0 || -PAST || John || dog || -OBL || to || boy || -OBL |} 'Did John give a dog to the boy?' '''es muus en kwerom?''' {| | muus || es || en || kwer || -om |- | be:PRES || mouse || in || bowl || -OBL |} 'Is the mouse in the bowl?' '''es so muus en kwerom?''' {| | es || so || muus || en || kwer || -om |- | be:PRES || 3s:NOM || mouse || in || bowl || -OBL |} 'Is there a mouse in the bowl?' '''peprichi tu te maaterom?''' {| | pe- || prich || -i || tu || te || maater || -om |- | PERF- || ask || -PAST || 2s:NOM || 2s:GEN || mother || -OBL |} 'Did you ask your mother?' ===Wh-questions=== By 'wh-question' is meant the kind of question which is introduced by a word such as who, what, where, why and so forth. In Shemspreg, the "wh-words" are better named "kw-words", but I will keep the labels "wh-word", "wh-phrase", "wh-expression" and "wh-question" since they will be familiar to many English speakers. In Shemspreg, wh-questions are formed by fronting the wh-expression to the initial position of the sentence. The verb immediately follows the wh-expression. Some examples are given below. '''kwi api abelesom?''' {| | kwi || a- || p || -i || abel || -es || -om |- | who || PERF- || pick:0 || -PAST || apple || -PL || -OBL |} 'Who picked the apples?' '''kwim eskwi tu?''' {| | kwi || -m || e- || skw || -i || tu |- | who || -OBL || PERF- || see:0 || -PAST || 2s:NOM |} 'Who did you see?' '''kwis kwon edi shuum?''' {| | kwi || -s || kwon || e- || d || -i || shuu || -m |- | who || -GEN || dog || PERF- || eat:0 || -PAST || fish || -OBL |} 'Whose dog ate the fish?' '''kwinu gweguni so wiro?''' {| | kwinu || gwe- || gun || -i || so || wiro |- | when || PERF- || come:0 || -PAST || that || man |} 'When did that man arrive?' '''kwicho es wech?''' {| | kwicho || es || wech |- | where || be:PRES || village |} 'Where is the village?' '''kwige woses Jan kwonom?''' {| | kwige || wos || -es || Jan || kwon || -om |- | why || sell || -PRES || John || dog || -OBL |} 'Why is John selling the dog?' '''kwimod gweguni so wiro?''' {| | kwimod || gwe- || gun || -i || so || wiro |- | How || PERF- || come:0 || -PAST || that || man |} 'How did that man arrive?' ==Coordinate sentences== The particle '''=kwe''' 'and' may be used to join words or phrases together. It may also be used to join two or more complete sentences together in a coordinate sentence. When '''=kwe''' is used in this way, it immediately follows the first word of the second sentence, as the following examples show. '''so ewidi kaaveyo esi chel, sokwe popoi som.''' {| | so || e- || wid || -i || kaave || =yo || e- || s || -i || chel || so || =kwe || po- || po || -i || so || -m |- | 3s:NOM || IMPF- || know:0 || -PAST || coffee || =SUB || IMPF- || be:0 || -PAST || cold || 3s:NOM || =and || PERF- || drink:0 || -PAST || 3s || -OBL |} 'He knew that the coffee was cold, but he drank it (anyway).' '''sos gwer wezhom, sos mej gemom deukentom, soskwe shemom oochu ferentom''' {| | so || -s || gwer || wezho || -m || so || -s || mej || gem || -om || deuk || -ent || -om || so || -s || =kwe || shem- || fer || -ent || -om || oochu |- | that || -GEN || heavy || wagon || -OBL || that || -GEN || large || load || -OBL || pull || -PTC || -OBL || that || -GEN || =and || human- || bear || -PTC || -OBL || quickly |} 'that (one) pulling a heavy wagon, that (one) a large load; and that (one) bearing a human quickly.' ==Complex sentences== Complex sentences are those which have one or more other sentences embedded in them. Sentences that are embedded in another sentence are called subordinate clauses or dependent clauses, and the sentences they are embedded in are called main clauses. Embedded clauses can serve a number of functions; the most common of these are adverbial, conditional, complement, or modifying. Embedded clauses are marked with a particle or a relative pronoun. A short list of particles is given below. {| | '''=yo''' || 'as, while' |- | '''=ye''' || 'if' |- | '''pos''' || 'after' |- | '''pro''' || 'before' |- | '''ge''' || 'because' |} In the sections which follow, I present examples of subordinate clauses filling various functions. ===Adverbial clauses=== Adverbial clauses are clauses which indicate notions such as when, where, how, because, and so on. Several different kinds of adverbial clauses are shown below. '''[weyo ekni], esdi seno wiro swepent.''' {| | we || =yo || e- || kn || -i || e- || sd || -i || seno || wiro || swep || -ent |- | 1p:NOM || =as || IMPF- || sing:0 || -PAST || IMPF- || sit:0 || -PAST || old || man || sleep || -PTC |} 'While we were singing, the old man sat sleeping.' '''[pos so gwegumi], weuri we kwim so dustetli.''' {| | pos || so || gwe- || gum || -i || we- || wr || -i || we || kwi || -m || so || dus- || ste- || tl || -i |- | after || 3s:NOM || PERF- || go:0 || -PAST || PERF- || find:0 || -PAST || 1p:NOM || REL || -OBL || 3s:NOM || wrong- || PERF- || place:0 || -PAST |} 'After he left, we found what he had lost (lit: misplaced)' '''Janos threukh weusi som [soyo estirgi].''' {| | Jan || -os || threukh || we- || ws || -i || so || -m || so || =yo || e- || stirg || -i |- | John || -GEN || friend || PERF- || visit:0 || -PAST || 3s || -OBL || 3s:NOM || =as || IMPF- || be.sick:0 || -PAST |} '''Janos threukh weusi som [ge so estirgi].''' {| | Jan || -os || threukh || we- || ws || -i || so || -m || ge || so || e- || stirg || -i |- | John || -GEN || friend || PERF- || visit:0 || -PAST || 3s || -OBL || because || 3s:NOM || IMPF- || be.sick:0 || -PAST |} 'John's friend went to see him when he was sick.' ===Conditional clauses=== A conditional clause is an embedded clause which serves to present an assumption, which may be a real or hypothetical state of affairs, while the main clause presents the logical consequence of that assumption; these are often referred to in English as "if-then" statements. Conditional clauses in Shemspreg are normally marked with '''=ye''' 'if'. Some examples are given below. '''tu feus kach [tuye ne edes].''' {| | tu || feu || -s || kach || tu || =ye || ne || ed || -es |- | 2s:NOM || become || -PRES || skinny || 2s:NOM || =if || not || eat || -PRES |} 'You'll get skinny if you don't eat.' '''[tuye ne edes] tu feus kach.''' {| | tu || =ye || ne || ed || -es || tu || feu || -s || kach |- | 2s:NOM || =if || not || eat || -PRES || 2s:NOM || become || -PRES || skinny |} 'If you don't eat, you'll get skinny.' ===Subject/object clauses=== Subject and object clauses are sentences which fill the grammatical functions of subject and object. Subject clauses may be finite clauses, as in the following: '''[soyo kores] nidheghwes me.''' {| | so || =yo || kor || -es || ni- || theghw || -es || me |- | 3s:NOM || =SUB || make.noise || -PRES || down- || anger || -PRES || 1s:OBL |} 'That he makes so much noise annoys me.' But it is more usual to see participial phrases as subject clauses. '''[sos korent] nidheghwes me.''' {| | so || -s || kor || -ent || ni- || theghw || -es || me |- | 3s:NOM || -GEN || make.noise || -PTC || down- || anger || -PRES || 1s:OBL |} 'His making so much noise annoys me.' Object clauses usually appear as finite clauses rather than as participial phrases. '''so emli [akwayo pekwes].''' {| | so || e- || ml || -i || akwa || =yo || pekw || -es |- | 3s:NOM || IMPF- || say:0 || -PAST || water || =SUB || cook || -PRES |} 'She said that the water is boiling.'

There are two modal verbs in Shemspreg; '''pot-''' and '''som-'''. The modal verb '''som-''' has the meanings of necessity or obligation, which in English are expressed with modal verbs like 'must' and 'should'. The modal '''pot-''' expresses possibility or permission, which in English are expressed by modals like 'may' and 'can'. Modal verbs take complement clauses; these complements may occasionally be participle phrases, but are more usually full subordinate clauses. These subordinate clauses are marked with the particle '''=yo'''. An interesting feature of constructions with modal verbs is that very often the subject of these sentences is a non-referential third person pronoun: '''so potes [Janyo poos glaktom].''' {| | so || pot || -es || Jan || =yo || poo || -s || glakt || -om |- | 3s:NOM || NEC || -PRES || John || =SUB || drink || -PRES || milk || -OBL |} 'John must drink milk./John should drink milk.' A more familiar construction with a referential subject is also possible: '''Jan potes [soyo poos glaktom].''' {| | Jan || pot || -es || so || =yo || poo || -s || glakt || -om |- | John || NEC || -PRES || 3s:NOM || =SUB || drink || -PRES || milk || -OBL |} 'John must drink milk./John should drink milk.' Other verbs which often take complement clauses include '''wel-''' 'want', '''aazh-''' 'need', '''woid-''' 'know', '''sekw-''' 'see', and '''chleu-''' 'hear'. Complements consisting of a participle phrase are common with these verbs. '''Jan weles [soyo domeyes].''' {| | Jan || wel || -es || so || =yo || dom- || ei || -es |- | John || want || -PRES || 3s:NOM || =SUB || house- || go || -PRES |} 'John wants to go home.' '''Jan weles sos domeentom.''' {| | Jan || wel || -es || so || -s || dom- || ei || -nt || -om |- | John || want || -PRES || 3s || -GEN || house- || go || -PTC || -OBL |} 'John wants to go home.' ===Relative clauses=== Relative clauses modify nouns in much the same way that adjectives do; for this reason, they are also called modifying clauses or adjectival clauses. Relative clauses always have understood in them a noun phrase indentical with the one they are modifying in the main sentence, and so they are relative to it. Relative clauses in Shemspreg are always introduced by relative pronouns which substitute for the noun phrase missing in them; this relative pronoun is an inflected form of '''kwi'''. '''ej eskwi wirom [kwi paas owisom].''' {| | ej || e- || skw || -i || wiro || -m || kwi || paa || -s || owi || -s || -om |- | 1s:NOM || IMPF- || see:0 || -PAST || man || -OBL || REL || feed || -PRES || sheep || -PL || -OBL |} 'I saw the man who feeds the sheep.'

For Finlaesk, this will probably become '''phonemic''' CCC sequences, due to the odd couple of polysegmental phonemes. Sandhi occurs by "Manner of Articulation" (voiced, voiceless, or nasal). E.g. /ipti/ is legal, but /inti/ and /iqgi/ are not. Generally, this is done by regressive assimilation, maybe to the point of gemination. Some Greenlandic forms tend to use ''pro''gressive assimilation. Some consonants in C1C2 sequences force C2:, which varies from dialect to dialect. ==Grammar Points== Fully productive dual in verbal inflection. Is it saner to fall back to PN or PIE dual paradigm, or to borrow or mimic the Inukt pattern? Verbs inflect via Conjugation I for Intransitives and Transitives with indefinite Direct Objects or Proper Noun DOs, and via Conjugation II for Transitives with definite non-Proper-Noun DOs. Actually, it's a bit more complificational, but that's enough gist for now. =Algonquian= ==Proto-Algonquian== Word structure is ===Consonants=== {|border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center" |align = "center"|p |align = "center"|t |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|k |align = "center"|ʔ |- |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|s |align = "center"|ʃ |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|h |- |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|tʃ |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |- |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|ɬ |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |- |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|r |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |- |align = "center"|m |align = "center"|n |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |- |align = "center"|w |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|j |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |}<br clear="all"> ===Vowels=== {|border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center" |align = "center"|i iː |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|&nbsp; |- |align = "center"|e eː |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|o oː |- |align = "center"|&nbsp; |align = "center"|ɑ ɑː |align = "center"|&nbsp; |}<br clear="all"> The allowable consonant clusters are /rp/, /rk/, /ʔtʃ/, /ʔɬ/, /ʔs/, /ʔʃ/, /ʔr/, /ʔm/, /ʃp/, /ʃt/, /ʃk/, /tp/, /tk/, /rk/, /ɬp/, /ɬk/, or any cluster with a first constituent of /h/ or a (POA-assimilated) nasal and a second constituent of any consonant other than /m/, /n/, /w/ or /j/. Several allophonic processes, morphophonemic processes, and phonological constraints can be reconstructed. /t/ and /ɬ/ became /ʃ/ and /tʃ/ before /i/, /iː/, or /j/. Of the short vowels, only /e/ and /a/ occurred in the first syllable of a word, and all words ended in a short vowel. Semivowels preceded by a consonant could not be followed by /o/ or /oː/.

The rules presented here were established by the {{IPA|ĭdharan}} [[Tradition Masters Council]] in the year 10I, after a decades work of standardization of the {{IPA|ĭdharan}} vernacular language. == Phonology, orthography, and pronunciation == === Phonology === {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #c0c0c0" | '''Consonants''' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Bilabial'' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Labiodental'' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Dental'' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Alveolar'' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Postalveolar'' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Palatal'' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Velar'' || colspan="2" style="font-size: x-small" | ''Glottal'' |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Nasals'' || || m || || || || || || n || || || || {{IPA|ɲ}} |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Plosives'' || p || b || || || || || t || d || || || || || k || {{IPA|ɡ}} |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Fricatives'' || || || f || v || {{IPA|θ}} || {{IPA|ð}} || s || z || {{IPA|ʃ}} || {{IPA|ʒ}} || || || x || {{IPA|ɣ}} || h¹|| {{IPA|ɦ}} |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Flaps & Taps'' || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɾ}} |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Lateral Approximants'' || || || || || || || || l || || || || {{IPA|ʎ}} |} ¹ The sound /h/ is considered a “foreign” sound and usually appears only in loanwords and foreign names, although it can appear as an allophone of {{IPA|/ɦ/}}. {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #c0c0c0" | '''Vowels''' || style="font-size: x-small" | ''Front'' || style="font-size: x-small" | ''Central'' || style="font-size: x-small" | ''Back'' |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Close'' || i || || u |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Close-mid'' || e || || o |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Open-mid'' || {{IPA|ɛ}} || || {{IPA|ɔ}} |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Near-open'' || || {{IPA|ɐ}} |- style="font-size: x-small" | ''Open'' || a |} === Orthography === The above phonemes are rendered in writing as follows: {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #c0c0c0" !

The consonant '''L''', however, can become labialized as {{IPA|/lʷ/}} before other consonants or in word-final positions. Vowels, on the other hand, usually don't become nasalized before /m/, /n/, and {{IPA|/ɲ/}}, but the vowel '''e''' is pronounced as /e/ in such positions even when stressed. * '''A:''' /a/ when stressed, {{IPA|/ɐ/}} otherwise. * '''Æ:''' /e/ when stressed, {{IPA|/ɐe/}} otherwise. * '''E:''' /e/ when followed by /m/, /n/, or {{IPA|/ɲ/}}, otherwise {{IPA|/ɛ/}} when stressed, /e/ elsewhere. * '''I:''' /i/ in all positions * '''O:''' {{IPA|/ɔ/}} when stressed and followed by /i/, /l/, or {{IPA|/ʎ/}}, /o/ elsewehere. * '''U:''' /u/ in all positions ==== Stress ==== Disyllabic words are, in general, paroxitones, and the stressed vowel — indicated with a ''macron'' ({{IPA|'''ǣ''', '''Ǣ'''}}) or with a ''breve'' ({{IPA|'''ă''', '''ĕ''', '''ĭ''', '''ŏ''', '''ŭ''', '''Ă''', '''Ĕ''', '''Ĭ''', '''Ŏ''', '''Ŭ'''}}) — usually doesn't change with the addition of prefixes and/or suffixes — for example, {{IPA|'''ănis'''}} (life) {{IPA|→}} {{IPA|'''shinănis'''}} (their (''f'') life); {{IPA|'''ăle'''}} (to love) {{IPA|→}} {{IPA|'''shăle'''}} (they (''f'') love) {{IPA|→}} {{IPA|'''shălete'''}} (they (''f'') love you (''s'')) {{IPA|→}} {{IPA|'''shiălete'''}} (they (''f'') loved you (''s'')) {{IPA|→}} {{IPA|'''oshiălete'''}} (they (''f'') would love you (''s'')). Exceptions to this rule are the preposition + demonstrative pronoun combinations — {{IPA|'''ǣkis'''}} (this) {{IPA|→}} {{IPA|'''ĭdækis'''}} (of this); words with three or more syllables are, in general, proparoxytones. When a prefix is linked to an unstressed monosyllable, the stress falls on the prefix, as, for example, is the case of {{IPA|'''iv-'''}} (with) + '''-te''' (you) = {{IPA|'''ĭvite'''}} (with you). Stressed monosyllables, on the other hand, usually retain the stress: {{IPA|'''ăus'''}} (dog) {{IPA|→ '''dinăus'''}} (my dog). == Grammar == === Pronouns === Masculine and feminine pronouns are only used when applied to humans. ==== Personal pronouns (subject) ==== {| ! d- | I ! dh- | we |- ! t- | you ! th- | you (''pl'') |- ! s- | she ! sh- | they (''f'') |- ! z- | he ! zh- | they (''m'') |- ! l- | it ! n- | they (''n'') |} ==== Personal pronouns (object) ==== {| ! -de | me ! -dhe | us |- ! -te | you (''obj'') ! -the | you (''pl'', ''obj'') |- ! -se | her ! -she | them (''f'') |- ! -ze | him ! -zhe | them (''m'') |- ! -le | it (''obj'') ! -ne | them (''n'') |} ==== Demonstrative and indefinite pronouns ==== The prefixes are linked to consonant-starting words with the vowel '''-i-''', except when its absence would cause a double consonant; in this case, the consonants merge into a single one. {| ! æg- | this ''noun'' (close to the speaker) ! æk- | this ''noun'' (close to the person spoken to) ! ærk- | that ''noun'' |- ! ægis | this (close to the speaker) ! ækis | this (close to the person spoken to) ! ærkis | that |- ! æl- | many ''noun'' (''pl'') ! æv- | all, every ''noun'' ! æf- | no ''noun'' |- ! ælis | multitude ! ævis | everything ! æfis | nothing |- ! æn- | some ''noun'' ! ær- | few ''noun'' |- ! ænis | a handful ! æris | a few |} '''Examples:''' * {{IPA|'''Ægrĭs'''}} = this sand * {{IPA|'''Ækĕm'''}} = these rocks * {{IPA|'''Æfăus'''}} = no dogs * {{IPA|'''Ælăum'''}} = many dogs * {{IPA|'''Ævăum'''}} = all [the] dogs ==== Interrogative pronouns ==== {| | '''dĭle''' || why || '''tĭle''' || for what |- | '''vĭnye''' || who || '''vĭme''' || where |- | '''dĭnye''' || whose || '''dĭme''' || whence |- | '''sĭnye''' || which || '''tĭme''' || to where |- | '''mĭnye''' || how much, how many || '''ĭhæ''' || what |} It is possible to omit the copula from a sentence and link the interrogative pronoun directly to the personal suffixes and demonstrative pronouns: * {{IPA|'''Vĭnyete?'''}} = {{IPA|'''Vĭnye tĕne?'''}} = “Who are you?” * {{IPA|'''Dĭnyele?'''}} = {{IPA|'''Dĭnye lĕne [ǣgis/ǣkis]?'''}} = “Whose is it/this?” * {{IPA|'''Ĭhæle?'''}} = {{IPA|'''Ĭhæ lĕne [ǣgis/ǣkis]?'''}} = “What is it/this?” ---- === Article === The only article is the definite, '''li''', and it is only used when the context alone is not enough to precisely identify the object being referred to. ---- === Nouns === All nouns end in '''-s''', and the plural is made by changing '''-s''' to '''-m'''. Nouns derived from verbs usually end in '''-is'''. * ''Augmentative:'' '''om-''' + noun * ''Diminutive:'' '''um-''' + noun If the noun starts in a consonant other than '''m-''', '''p-''', or '''b-''', '''om-''' and '''um-''' change to '''on-''' and '''un-''', respectively. Double consonants created this way merge into one. '''Examples:''' * {{IPA|'''ĕnis'''}} “[a] person” &rarr; {{IPA|'''ĕnim'''}} “people” * {{IPA|'''omĕnis'''}} “[a] big person” &rarr; {{IPA|'''omĕnim'''}} “big people” * {{IPA|'''pas'''}} “[a] hand” &rarr; {{IPA|'''pam'''}} “hands” * {{IPA|'''umpăs'''}} “[a] small hand” &rarr; {{IPA|'''umpăm'''}} “small hands” * {{IPA|'''fais'''}} “[a] tree” &rarr; {{IPA|'''faim'''}} “trees” * {{IPA|'''onfăis'''}} “[a] large tree” &rarr; {{IPA|'''onfăim'''}} “large trees” * {{IPA|'''nuis'''}} “[a] hole” &rarr; {{IPA|'''nuim'''}} “holes” * {{IPA|'''unŭis'''}} “[a] small hole” &rarr; {{IPA|'''unŭim'''}} “small holes” ---- === Adjectives === All adjectives end in '''-n''', and the ones derived from other words usually end in '''-æn''' or '''-in'''; many adjectives are derived from verbs. * ''Comparative of superiority:'' '''om-''' + adjective * ''Comparative of inferiority:'' '''um-''' + adjective '''Example:''' * {{IPA|'''ălnyin'''}} “good”, “useful” {{IPA|→ '''omălnyin'''}} “better”, “more useful” ==== Possessive adjectives ==== {| ! din- | my ! dhin- | our |- ! tin- | your ! thin- | your (pl) |- ! sin- | her ! shin- | their (f) |- ! zin- | his ! zhin- | their (m) |- ! lin- | its ! nin- | their (n) |} If the word being linked to begins with a bilabial consonant, the '''-n-''' changes to '''-m-'''. Double consonants formed when linking merge into one. '''Examples:''' * {{IPA|'''nĭzais'''}} “father” {{IPA|→ '''dinĭzais'''}} “my father” {{IPA|→ '''zindinĭzais'''}} “my father's” * {{IPA|'''pam'''}} “hands” {{IPA|→ '''dimpăm'''}} “my hands” ---- === Verbs === ==== Tenses and modes ==== The general structure of a verbal word is [''secondary temporal prefix''] + [''personal prefix''] + [''primary temporal prefix''] + [''verb root''] + [''mode suffix''] + [''object suffix'']. Not all combinations are possible for all verbs. The three mode suffixes are '''-e''', '''-i''', and '''-a''', and they are used as follows: * ''Infinitive:'' root + '''-e''' * ''Participle:'' root + '''-a''' * ''Gerund:'' root + '''-i''' For the following list, the '''-e''' ending can be changed to '''-i''' to give the idea of progression or continuous action. In some cases, it is possible to use the participle mode suffix to express a past, present or future state without using a copula. * ''Indicative:'' ** Present tenses *** ''Simple Present:'' person + root + '''-e''' ''(action in course or true at the moment of speaking)'' *** ''Progressive Present:'' person + root + '''-i''' ''(action in course at the moment of speaking)'' ** Past tenses *** ''Finished Past:'' person + '''-i-''' + root + '''-e''' ''(action completed in the past)'' *** ''Progressive Past:'' person + '''-i-''' + root + '''-i''' ''(action in progress or true for some period of time in the past)'' *** ''Perfect Past:'' '''i-''' + person + '''-i-''' + root + '''-e''' ''(action completed before a past event)'' *** ''Perfect Progressive Past:'' '''i-''' + person + '''-i-''' + root + '''-i''' ''(action in progress or true for some period of time before a past event)'' ** Future tenses *** ''Simple Future:'' person + '''-o-''' + root + '''-e''' ''(action to be executed in the future)'' *** ''Progressive Future:'' person + '''-o-''' + root + '''-i''' ''(action expected to be in progress or true for some period of time in the future)'' *** ''Past Future:'' '''o-''' + person + '''-i-''' + root + '''-e''' ''(a future action relating to a past event)'' *** ''Past Progressive Future:'' '''o-''' + person + '''-i-''' + root + '''-i''' ''(a future action expected to be in progress or true for some period of time, relating to a past event)'' * ''Subjunctive:'' ** '''Ve''' + corresponding indicative form * ''Imperative:'' ** '''Hæ''' + Simple Present '''Examples:''' * {{IPA|'''ve diĕni'''}} = “if I were” * {{IPA|'''hæ tăhe ǣgis'''}} = “do this” ==== Passive voice ==== The simplest form of passive voice is a verbal form with the participle ending '''-a''' and without an object suffix. The common ĭdharan salutation {{IPA|'''Tălnyaza!'''}} “[You're] welcome!” is also an example of linking the patient subject of a noun phrase directly to an adverb + participle nominal predicate, also omitting the copula of the passive voice, usually present in other languages. Of course, as the resulting word is still a verbal form, the primary and secondary time prefixes can apply, and adverbs of time can be added to the phrase in order to position the idea more precisely in time, as in the sixth example below. '''Examples:''' * {{IPA|'''Săla.'''}} = “She is loved.” * {{IPA|'''Liărka.'''}} = “It was/has been weakened.” * {{IPA|'''Doălka.'''}} = “I will be strengthened.” * {{IPA|'''Zhiărba elærkizăis.'''}} “They (''m'') were/have been bought by that man.” * {{IPA|'''Inævigăim idhiăra.'''}} “We had been hated everywhere.” * {{IPA|'''Nĭlar ĭngar diălnyaza, ha ăinar va.'''}} “Yesterday I was welcome here, but not today.” ---- === Adverbs === Most adverbs end in '''-ar''' and they usually come before the word they modify, especially when it is a verb. In many cases, the '''-r''' can be dropped to link the adverb to the verb it modifies, thus creating new verbal forms. If the original verb starts in {{IPA|'''ĕ-'''}}, the starting vowel merges with '''-a-''' into '''-æ-'''. A very common example is the verb {{IPA|'''ălnyaze'''}} “to welcome”, created by linking the adverb {{IPA|'''ălnyar'''}} “well” to the verb {{IPA|'''ăze'''}} “to come”. This, in turn, leads to a very common salutation among the {{IPA|ĭdharash}}: {{IPA|'''Tălnyaza!'''}} “[You're] welcome!” (Note that, unlike English, this is not used as an answer to thanks.) Some very important and very common exceptions to the above are: {| style="text-align: center" | || ''Linked to an adjective'' || ''Linked to a noun'' |- | '''om-''' || Comparative of superiority || Augmentative |- | '''um-''' || Comparative of inferiority || Diminutive |} {| | '''vi''' || yes |- | '''va''' || no |- | '''va-''' || not |} The (unstressed) adverb prefixes '''om-''' and '''um-''' can also be linked to other adverbs (with the vowel '''-a-''' if they begin with a consonant) to change their meanings. Thus {{IPA|'''Tomălnyaza!'''}} would mean something like “You're very much welcome!” ---- === Prepositions === The prepositions in Ălyis are all prefixes (though they can receive endings to become independent words if such is needed) and as such they allow for a case system of sorts. The full list follows. {| | '''et-''' || to (''destination'') || '''id-''' || of || '''el-''' || by |- | '''ob-''' || behind || '''ed-''' || since || '''ep-''' || before (''sb or sth'') |- | '''ot-''' || until || '''in-''' || in || '''av-''' || without |- | '''ap-''' || after || '''im-''' || between, among || '''ib-''' || under |- | '''iv-''' || with || '''it-''' || to || '''eb-''' || on, on top of |- | '''al-''' || against || '''il-''' || for (''sb'') |} One can omit the verbs {{IPA|'''ĕne'''}} (“permanent” to be) and {{IPA|'''ĕme'''}} (“transitory” to be) ― the two generic copulae ― and link the preposition to its corresponding word with the vowel clusters '''-i-''', '''-e-''', '''-ei-''', '''-a-''', '''-oi-''', and '''-o-''' to convey time information, meaning Perfect Past, Finished Past, Progressive Past, Simple Present, Future in the Past and Simple Future, respectively. The resulting word can then be used as the subject of a sentence. If the verb cannot be ommited (for reasons of clearness ― see the fourth example), the preposition is linked with the vowel '''-i-'''. '''Examples:''' * {{IPA|'''Ægitadinăus.'''}} = {{IPA|'''Ǣgis itadinăus.'''}} = {{IPA|'''Ǣgis lĕne itidinăus.'''}} = “This is for my dog.” * {{IPA|'''Ægiteidinăus.'''}} = {{IPA|'''Ǣgis iteidinăus.'''}} = {{IPA|'''Ǣgis liĕni itidinăus.'''}} = “This was for my dog.” * {{IPA|'''Ægiteidinăus ŏmar lălnye.'''}} = “This, which was for my dog, is very good.” * {{IPA|'''Ægăleite, ha ăinar zĕne ĭlate.'''}} = “This [man] was against you, but now he is for you.” ---- === Conjunctions === All conjunctions are independent words. {| | '''hi''' || and || '''ho''' || so || '''ilăinæ''' || while, as long as |- | '''hæ''' || that || '''ha''' || but || '''imăinæ''' || how |- | '''ve''' || if || '''ĭlæ''' || because |} ---- === Numerals === * ''Simple numbers:'' '''-l''' * ''Tens:'' '''-lal''' * ''Hundreds:'' '''-lel''' * ''Thousands:'' '''-lyal''' * ''Millions:'' '''-lyel''' Numbers are writen and read from left to right; round numerals can have two numeral suffixes, shifting the stress: * 10,001: {{IPA|'''elălyal hi el'''}} * 11,002: {{IPA|'''ĕlal-ĕlyal hi kal'''}} * 111,222: {{IPA|'''ĕlel-ĕlal-ĕlyal hi kălel-kălal-kal'''}} * 9,456,123: {{IPA|'''mŏlyel hi tŏlel-rălel-gŏlyal hi ĕlel-kălal-fol'''}} * 9,000,000: {{IPA|'''mŏlyel hi ŭlel hi ul'''}}, to emphasize the number's “roundness”, or simply {{IPA|'''mŏlyel'''}} The numerals '''ul''', {{IPA|'''ŭlal'''}}, {{IPA|'''ŭlel'''}}, {{IPA|'''ŭlyal'''}}, and {{IPA|'''ŭlyel'''}} can also indicate the idea of emptiness at different degrees. '''''Trivia:''''' the expression {{IPA|'''hi ŭlel hi ul'''}} is a common expression among the ĭdharash and means “absolutely nothing”. {| style="text-align: center" | ''Number'' || ''Numeral'' || ''×10'' || ''×100'' || ''×1,000'' || ''×1,000,000'' |- | 0 || '''ul''' || {{IPA|'''ŭlal'''}} || {{IPA|'''ŭlel'''}} || {{IPA|'''ŭlyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''ŭlyel'''}} |- | 1 || '''el''' || {{IPA|'''ĕlal'''}} || {{IPA|'''ĕlel'''}} || {{IPA|'''ĕlyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''ĕlyel'''}} |- | 2 || '''kal''' || {{IPA|'''kălal'''}} || {{IPA|'''kălel'''}} || {{IPA|'''kălyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''kălyel'''}} |- | 3 || '''fol''' || {{IPA|'''fŏlal'''}} || {{IPA|'''fŏlel'''}} || {{IPA|'''fŏlyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''fŏlyel'''}} |- | 4 || '''tol''' || {{IPA|'''tŏlal'''}} || {{IPA|'''tŏlel'''}} || {{IPA|'''tŏlyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''tŏlyel'''}} |- | 5 || '''ral''' || {{IPA|'''rălal'''}} || {{IPA|'''rălel'''}} || {{IPA|'''rălyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''rălyel'''}} |- | 6 || '''gol''' || {{IPA|'''gŏlal'''}} || {{IPA|'''gŏlel'''}} || {{IPA|'''gŏlyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''gŏlyel'''}} |- | 7 || '''zhol''' || {{IPA|'''zhŏlal'''}} || {{IPA|'''zhŏlel'''}} || {{IPA|'''zhŏlyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''zhŏlyel'''}} |- | 8 || '''val''' || {{IPA|'''vălal'''}} || {{IPA|'''vălel'''}} || {{IPA|'''vălyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''vălyel'''}} |- | 9 || '''mol''' || {{IPA|'''mŏlal'''}} || {{IPA|'''mŏlel'''}} || {{IPA|'''mŏlyal'''}} || {{IPA|'''mŏlyel'''}} |} == Syntax == ''To be expanded'' == Samples == === Short examples === {| | {{IPA|'''Dăne.'''}} || “I live.” |- | {{IPA|'''Dĕme ănin.'''}} || “I am alive.” |- | {{IPA|'''Tălede?'''}} || “Do you love me?” |- | {{IPA|'''Vi, tăve dălete.'''}} || “Yes, you know I love you.” |- | {{IPA|'''Va, vadărete, hi tăvele.'''}} || “No, I don't hate you, and you know that.” |- | {{IPA|'''Vasăve vazărete.'''}} || “She doesn't know he doesn't hate you.” |- | {{IPA|'''Dărle tăze ĭvide.'''}} || “I want you to come with me.” (''lit.'' “I want that you come with me.”) |- | {{IPA|'''Dĭle tărle tăse ăvide?'''}} || “Why do you want to go without me?” (''lit.'' “Why do you want that you go without me?”) |- | {{IPA|'''Vasărle săse ĭvite.'''}} || “She doesn't want to go with you.” (''lit.'' “She doesn't want that she goes with you.”) |- | {{IPA|'''Vadiăvi ziĕmi ălide.'''}} || “I didn't know [that] he was against me.” |- | {{IPA|'''Shoănse!'''}} || “They (''f'') will die!” |- | {{IPA|'''Odiănse ĭlite…'''}} || “I would die for you…” |- | {{IPA|'''Dinărfis ĭdækis valoĕrne!'''}} || “My thoughts on this won't change!” (''lit.'' “My thought of this won't change!”) |- | {{IPA|'''Ĭnar doĕnme ĭngar.'''}} || “I will always stay here.” |- | {{IPA|'''Vi, dăve ŏmomar dălye.'''}} || “Yes, I know [that] I speak too much.” |- | {{IPA|'''Ǣrkilas aĭnar siărnyælni.'''}} || “She looked bad before that day.” (''lit.'' “That day before she looked bad.”) |- | {{IPA|'''Ăstis lăstethe!'''}} || “May the light shine upon you!” |} === Literal translations === {{IPA|'''Ĭnar diăve tiănlize ŏmar tiănlise, ha ănar diărfe thinănlis liĕni ho ălkin.'''}} <br /> ''Always I-[past]-know you-[past]-be-friend-of-[progressive]-him more you-[past]-be-friend-of-[progressive]-her, but never I-[past]-think your(pl)-friendship it-[past]-be-[progressive] so strong.'' <br /> “I always knew you were more friends with him than with her, but I never thought your friendship was so strong.” {{IPA|'''Vĕnar lălnye dhăhe ǣvis dhărle, ve dhoărle dhănle ævĕnim.'''}} <br /> ''Not-always it-be-good we-do all/everything we-want, if we-want we-be-friend-of all-people.'' <br /> “It is not always good for us to do everything we want if we want to be friends with everybody.” {{IPA|'''Ĭnar doărle omălnyin ĭtite, ĭnmar vatăflede.'''}} <br /> ''Always I-[future]-want more-good to-you(obj), even not-you-believe-me.'' <br /> “I will always want the best to you, even if you don't believe me.” {{IPA|'''Ănar osiăreze, ĭnmar ve otiăilese 'hæ săreze'.'''}} <br /> ''Never [future]-she-[past]-hate-him, even if [future]-you-[past]-tell-her that she-hate-him.'' <br /> “She would never hate him, even if you told her 'hate him'.” {{IPA|'''Vĭnye shĕne, dĭme shăze, hi dĭle ĭngar shĕme?'''}} <br /> ''Who they(f)-be, whence they(f)-come, and why here they(f)-be?'' <br /> “Who are they (''f''), where do they (''f'') come from, and why are they (''f'') here?” {{IPA|'''Vĭnyete, dĭmete, tĭlete?'''}} <br /> ''Who-you(obj), who-you(obj), for-what-you(obj)?'' <br /> “Who are you, where do you come from, what are you here for?” {{IPA|'''Ægitadinăus ŏmar lălnye.'''}} <br /> ''This-to-[present]-my-dog much it-be-good.'' <br /> “This, which is for my dog, is very good.” {{IPA|'''Ærgis liĕni ĭtide.'''}} <br /> ''That it-[past]-be-[progressive] to-me.'' <br /> “That was for me.” {{IPA|'''Va, vadăfe tindĭzais.'''}} <br /> ''No, not-I-know your-brother.'' <br /> “No, I don't know your brother.” {{IPA|'''Ærkăus sindindĭsis.'''}} <br /> ''That-dog her-my-sister.'' <br /> “That dog is my sister's.” === Sample text === <div style="text-align: justify;

Talk:Shemspreg 3828 20084 2007-03-14T18:43:21Z Eldin raigmore 127 Started "talk" page about Dirk Elzinga's "Shemspreg". Hi, Dirk. On CONLANG-L you asked for comments on this page, "especially about layout and organization". I haven't studied it well enough to be confident commenting on any substantial content yet, but, as far as layout and organization go, I'd say this is [[''great'']]! Can you create a "template" or some such thing for the rest of us to use? Especially, I like the "sentences" part; can you create a "template" or similar thing for ''that'', if not for the rest?

I will try to be exhaustive in this discussion in order to enable the reader to work out for himself vocabulary items which do not appear in the working lexicon. The reader is invited and encouraged to add to the lexicion of Shemspreg by following the principles laid out in this section. My sources for reconstructed PIE roots are primarily Pokorny (1959) and the ''American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots'' (hereafter AHD). Both of these works are rather conservative with respect to PIE phonology, and neither of them take recent (and not so recent) proposals in comparative Indo-European phonology into account. For example, the forms contained in these works include long vowels which have since been shown to be the result of short vowel-laryngeal sequences, and they omit laryngeals which were likely to have been realized as consonants in pre-PIE. When some kind of laryngeal has been included in a PIE root in these sources, it is represented as schwa; this happens frequently as part of a gradation or ablaut series (for example, *'''dō-: də-''' 'give', Pokorny 1959: 223). Since the reconstructions found in Pokorny (1959) and AHD form the baseline for Shemspreg, the laryngeals are not always represented in the Shemspreg lexicon. Where secondary sources show the quality of laryngeals, this information has been used in adapting the root to Shemspreg. I have also made extensive use of Gamqrelidze and Ivanov's ''Indo-European and the Indo-Europeans'' as a source for Shemspreg roots; however, no effort has been made to accomodate their glottalic theory in the derivation of Shemspreg lexical and grammatical material. There are various proposals which provide correspondences between the traditional reconstruction of the PIE consonant system, which includes voiced aspirated stops, and more recent systems which include glottalized consonants. In keeping with the conservative nature of my sources, I have chosen to retain the traditional PIE consonant system as the baseline for Shemspreg. ==PIE voiced aspirates== One of the arguments for the glottalic theory of Gamqrelidze and Ivanov and others was the typological implausibility of a series of voiced aspirated stops without an accompanying series of voiceless aspirates. In Shemspreg I have also tried to remove this typological anomaly. This has been done in in the following ways. First, PIE voiced aspirated stops are replaced in Shemspreg by plain voiced stops when they follow nasals. '''*longʰo''' > '''longo''' 'long' '''*dʰembʰ''' > '''themb''' 'steam' '''*bʰendʰ''' > '''fend-''' 'to tie' Elsewhere in Shemspreg, PIE voiced aspirated stops are replaced by fricatives. Voiced fricatives appear between voiced segments other than nasals. '''*nebʰos''' > '''nevos''' 'cloud' '''*medʰi-''' > '''medhi''' 'middle' '''*dl̩gʰo-''' > '''dilgho''' 'long' '''*albʰo''' > '''alvo''' 'white' Voiceless fricatives appear elsewhere. '''*bʰraʰter''' > '''fraater''' 'brother' '''*bʰāgʰu-s''' > '''faaghu''' > 'forearm' '''*reudʰ-''' > '''reuth''' > 'red' '''*onogʰ-''' > '''onokh''' 'claw' PIE voiced aspirates which are final in a verbal stem are carried over into Shemspreg as voiced fricatives rather than voiceless fricatives since verb stems in Shemspreg always surface with a vowel initial suffix; the voiced fricative is thus always found between voiced segments. '''*leubʰ-''' > '''leuv-''' love '''*sleidʰ-''' > '''sleedh-''' slide '''*u̯eǵʰ-''' > '''wezh-''' carry, ride '''*legʰ-''' > '''legh-''' 'lay' The alternation between voiced and voiceless fricatives which has been used to accomodate the reconstructed voiced aspirates into Shemspreg has been carried over into the phonology of Shemspreg as a productive process. ==PIE laryngeals== PIE schwa (as found in Pokorny 1959 or AHD) is replaced in Shemspreg by '''i'''. '''*arə-mo-''' > '''arimo''' 'arm' '''*anət-''' > '''anit''' 'duck' '''*bʰerəǵ-''' > '''ferij''' 'birch' When it is possible to determine the quality of the original laryngeal (with the help of additional sources such as Beekes 1995), I have replaced *'''h<sub>1</sub>''' with '''i''', *'''h<sub>2</sub>''' with '''a''', and *'''h<sub>3</sub>''' with '''u'''. Very often, the laryngeals are found in combination with a vowel (usually *'''e'''). This has the effect of lowering the laryngeal such that *'''h<sub>1</sub>''' becomes '''e''' and *'''h<sub>3</sub>''' becomes '''o'''. '''*h<sub>1</sub>''' > '''i''' '''*h<sub>1</sub>e''' > '''e''' '''*eh<sub>1</sub>''' > '''ee''' '''*h<sub>2</sub>''' > '''a''' '''*h<sub>2</sub>e''' > '''a''' '''*eh<sub>2</sub>''' > '''aa''' '''*h<sub>3</sub>''' > '''u''' '''*h<sub>3</sub>e''' > '''o''' '''*eh<sub>3</sub>''' > '''oo''' '''*h<sub>1</sub>egʰs''' > '''ekhs''' 'out' '''*h<sub>1</sub>epi''' > '''epi''' 'beside, by' '''*h<sub>1</sub>eti''' > '''eti''' 'over' '''*h<sub>2</sub>ed''' > '''ad''' 'at; to, by' '''*h<sub>2</sub>en''' > '''an''' 'upwards' '''*h<sub>2</sub>enti''' > '''anti''' > 'over, against' '''*h<sub>2</sub>epo''' > '''apo''' 'from, as of' '''*h<sub>2</sub>eu''' > '''au''' 'away from' '''*h<sub>2</sub>mbʰi''' > '''ambi''' 'around' '''*meth<sub>2</sub>''' > '''meta''' 'between, with' '''*h<sub>3</sub>ebʰi''' > '''ovi''' 'towards' ==PIE syllabic resonants== PIE syllabic resonants are replaced by a sequence of '''i''' + resonant in Shemspreg. '''*septm̩''' > '''septim''' 'seven' '''*n̩dʰer''' > '''inder''' 'under' '''*u̯l̩kʷos''' > '''wilkwo''' 'wolf' '''*i̯ekʷ-r̩''' > '''yekwir''' 'liver' Roots with three consonants yield a '''CRC''' sequence when the vowel is deleted to create the reduced grade. The vowel '''i''' is inserted to break up these triconsonantal clusters. If the root is of the form '''CRVC-''' the reduced grade is '''CRiC-'''. If the root is of the form '''CVRC-''' the reduced grade is '''CiRC-'''. {| cellspacing=5 | || root || reduced grade || gloss |- | a. || '''spreg-''' || '''sprig-''' || 'speak' |- | || '''plech-''' || '''plich- || 'plait' |- | || '''smer-''' || '''smir-''' || 'remember' |- | b. || '''melj-''' || '''milj-''' || 'milk' |- | || '''terk-''' || '''tirk-''' || 'twist' |- | || '''fend-''' || '''find-''' || 'tie' |} ==PIE diphthongs== PIE long diphthongs are shortened in Shemspreg. '''*ōus-''' > '''aus''' 'ear' '''*skēu-''' > '''skeu-''' 'cut, divide, scratch' In verbal roots, the PIE diphthongs '''*ei''' and '''*ou''' are retained. '''*ei-''' > '''ei-''' 'go' '''*gʷei-''' > '''gwei-''' 'live, be alive' '''*gʰou-''' > '''khou-''' 'pay attention to' '''*ou-''' > '''ou-''' 'put on footwear' '''*pneu-''' > '''pneu-''' 'to breathe' Elsewhere (i.e., in closed syllables and nouns), '''*ei''' and '''*ou''' are replaced by '''ee''' and '''oo''', respectively. '''*deig''' > '''deeg''' 'finger' '''*bʰeid''' > '''feed-''' 'bite' ==PIE Palatals== The palatal series in PIE is replaced in Shemspreg with palato-alveolar consonants. Thus PIE '''*ḱ''' becomes Shemspreg '''ch''', PIE '''*ǵ''' becomes Shemspreg '''j''', and PIE '''*ǵʰ''' becomes Shemspreg '''sh''' or '''zh'''. '''*ḱeu-''' > '''cheu''' 'hollow' '''*ǵʰel-''' > '''shel''' 'gall, bile' '''*ǵr̩-no-m''' > '''jirno''' 'grain' PIE palatals which are part of clusters with other obstruents become plain velars in Shemspreg. '''*sḱer/n''' > '''sker/n''' 'feces; manure' '''*sweḱs''' > '''sweks''' 'six' ==Rounded velars== PIE rounded velars occured root-finally as well as initially or medially. Because of PIE's morphological complexity, there was almost always a vowel which followed such a consonant. However, because of the simplification of this complex morphology in Shemspreg, many of these root-final rounded velars are word-final in Shemspreg; this is particularly the case for nouns and adjectives (verb roots have obligatory suffixation which avoids this problem). In such cases, the rounding of the PIE rounded velar is vocalized as a short '''u''' in Shemspreg. '''*okʷ-''' > '''oku''' 'eye' '''*sneigʰʷ-''' > '''sneeghu''' 'snow' cf. '''*dʰegʰʷ-''' > '''theghw-''' 'to burn' '''*sekʷ-''' > '''sekw-''' 'to say' ==Long vowels== PIE long vowels are retained in Shemspreg in root-initial syllables only; non-initial syllables have no length contrast in vowels. '''*māter-''' > '''maater''' 'mother' '''*akʷā''' > '''akwa''' 'water' '''*oktō''' > '''okto''' 'eight' '''*bʰardʰā''' > '''fardha''' 'beard' '''*deǵʰōm''' > '''dezhom''' 'earth, ground' '''*nepōt-''' > '''nepot''' 'grandchild' ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Appendix B: Shemspreg Texts 3833 45527 2009-05-21T19:33:15Z Elzinga 315 /* A Sheep and Horses */ In this appendix I present three short texts in Shemspreg.

And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Note that in this case, the embedded participle phrase follows rather than precedes the participle of which it is an object. This is because the embedded participle phrase is lengthy and is grammatically rather complex. #{{note|ACCENT}} The text of the poem uses acute accents to mark stressed syllables. #{{note|QUOT}} The verbal word '''emlai''' is technically a passive ‘it is said’, but it has been translated into English by ‘they say’ in this and parallel lines. #{{note|CONTRACT}} The contraction of the verb '''es''' to '''’s''' is done for metrical reasons. #{{note|AWES}} In normal prose, the verb '''awes''' would more likely have been rendered '''aus''', but the full form of the tense suffix was used in consideration of the meter. ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Talk:Finlaesk 3834 45987 2009-06-12T14:07:33Z Tropylium 756 dubbelredirect #REDIRECT [[Talk:Uínlītska]] User:Dampantingaya 3835 51190 2009-12-30T11:10:50Z Dampantingaya 306 {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |+<big>'''Tebamaya Krisyān'''</big> |- |valign=top|'''Residence:''' || Litareng, Hesan, Alamanye |- |valign=top|'''Birth:''' || Leman 20, 962 C.T. |- |valign=top|'''Profession:''' || Sompamaya [[Wikipedia:Literature|tahambananena]] ya [[Wikipedia:University of Marburg|Kardangiray na Litareng]] |- |valign=top|'''Natural languages:''' || Almang, Inglis, Prangsey |- |valign=top|'''Created conlangs:''' || Ayeri |- |valign=top|'''Interests other than conlanigng:''' || Bimakangyam, layayam, dipyam mantingaris |- |valign=top|'''Website(s):''' || [http://benung.nfshost.com Tay Benung], [http://www.beckerscarsten.de Carstens Homepage] (kayvo ya [http://www.beckerscarsten.de/sbk/ Der Sprachbaukasten]), [http://sanstitre.nfshost.com Sans Titre] (koyabahis benung) |} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Other staples (mostly native species) include bitter pecans (''posji''), hazelnuts, and other nuts, beans, squash (''kotasj''), leafy greens (brassicas and plangatos), various roots & tubers, chili peppers (''tjili''), honey (''honā''), apples (''ebli''), cranberries, blueberries, cherries (including native choke cherries and black cherries, and European sweet cherries), maple syrup (''ødfiwðhonā''), tobacco (''tabak''). European carrots, parsnips, onions, beets, chard and celery are fairly widely cultivated. Grains are most commonly used to make flatbreads, sourdough breads, soda breads, and beer, but the use of grains as flour and meal to make porridges and puddings, and to add body to other foods is well known, and oats and sunflower seeds are eaten raw and roasted on their own, or as an ingredient in pemmican. Boiled-down "candy" from honey or maple syrup is regarded as tasty but extravagant, except in packing for long journeys, where the reduced mass and increased energy density is seen as preferable to the extra work involved and loss of taste and substance. Sunflower oil is rarely extracted, given the free availability of animal fats, but it is known. As astringent tea made from Eastern White Cedar needles is fairly popular, though the tree is gathered wild rather than farmed. The wood of this tree is also much prized as a crafting material. = Commonly farmed and hunted meats = Beef, buffalo, horse, mutton (wool is too valuable to consider eating lambs), goat (though mostly kept as walking garbage disposals and for milk), venison, pork, seal, whale, turkey, duck, goose, crab, lobster, salmon and various other river and sea fish. Marrow, organs, and other non-meat parts are eaten, especially in sausage. = Commonly used herbs and spices = Thyme, rosemary, sage (both European and American), dill, caraway, salt, black pepper, chilli pepper, paprika, cinnamon, vanilla, fennel, garlic (''hƿᵫdlœ́k''), ginger, mustard, horseradish, juniper, American licorice, nutmeg, mace, sassafras, sumac, cherry kernels, and Eastern White cedar are well-known flavorants. Of these, dill, caraway, fennel, and horseradish are the most popular. = Food prepration and preservation = Most food is boiled, baked, pan-fried or deep-fried (frying is done almost exclusively in animal fat, with beef fat being the most popular) over or on a fireplace, or slow-cooked in glowing embers. Grilling on a grate or grid over flames or embers is also known. The use of stocks as a basis for soups and stews is known, though their advance preparation and storage is unknown: stock is usually made overnight or for a longer period, in advance of a planned meal, before being strained over fried ingredients, and then roasted or boiled, in a kind of ''osso bucco'' technique. The solids from the stockmaking process are usually used as animal food, but can be seen as an acceptable food in tight circumstances (though stockmaking is unlikely in such circumstances). Hot and cold smoking are known as preservation methods, as well as simple drying, and wet or dry curing in nitrate, nitrite, salt, honey, and/or maple syrup based solutions. Pickling in brine or vinegar (usually malt vinegar made from beer) is fairly common. Sasuage and pemmican, in particular, are popular storage methods for cured meats. Various nuts and grains (whole, meal, butter, or flour) and dried fruits my be used as fillers. Both fresh and dry sausages are known. Butter and cheese making are both known, with milk from cows, buffalo, goats, and sheep all being easy to find, depending on local livestock. = Alcoholic drinks = Yeast derived from sourdough starters are often used to make Mead (''mœðu'', made from honey, and often fresh or dried fruits, herbs and spices), and beer (''állu'', made from wheat, barley, malt and honey), which are both very common. Hard cider is surprisingly uncommon, but not unknown, especially in colder regions and times, where/when a concoction that is essentially mulled cider is fairly widely available, for the right price. Ice distillation is the most common method of producing strong spirits, but heat distillation in copper stills is known. ''Ƿiskkepæƿ'' (distilled from beer mash) and ''mœðupœƿ'' (distilled from mead mash) are both known, but less common then beer and mead. ''Hƿettjipæƿ'' is a kind of un-aged spirit distilled from wheat (and/or other grains), used as a drink (mainly to fortify other drinks, but also alone), a medicine, and a fuel (often as an accellerant for fat and tallow-based fuels). Wine (''fínu'') is uncommon, to the point where the Christian sacrament is often provided as mead. When found it is almost exclusively as an import from Europe, as the local grapes are not of high quality. ''Ækkfævítt'' is imported from Norse Europe, and is definitely considered a delicacy. There is not much call for vodka or gin, given the ready availability of hƿettjipæƿ as a neutral spirit. = Other intoxicants = Tobacco use is reasonably common, mostly in pipes but also in cigars and chewing tobacco.

It follows the format seen on [http://lingweb.eva.mpg.de/fieldtools/linguaQ.html this page]. ==Syntax== '''General Questions''' *1.1.1 Sentence Types: **1.1.1.1 Spoken Faraneit does not inventively distinguish from personal speech and quoted speech, aside from common allusions such as, "he said,..." (Faraneit: "haloan, ..." rather it is said). **1.1.1.2 Marking Interrogatives: ***1.1.1.2.1 Yes-No Questions ****1.1.1.2.1.1 Neutral questions use the common inversion technique coupled with rising intonation. ''Hav mepenih purej?'', can I join? When stressing the action rather than the subject of the sentence as the question, however, the word order can return to normal VSO; ''mepenihav purej?'', '''can''' I join? ****1.1.1.2.1.2 Leading: *****1.1.1.2.1.2.1 Affirmative leading has two similar but contrasting methods. The first is to end the sentence, which is in regular flat intonation with the regular word order, with the modifier ''haneit''. For example, ''Mepenihav purej, hanit?'', I can join, right? The second is more delayed and generally comes after a greater pause, with the modifier ''deareivac''. For example, ''Mepenihav purej. Deareivac?'', I can join... right? *****1.1.1.2.1.2.2 Negative leading has only one method, parrellel to the hanit construction for the affirmative, but with the modifier, ''zaneit''. For example, ''Mepenihav purej, zaneit?'', I can't join, can I? Note that the first sentence is negated by the subsequent zaneit and is therefore affirmative in Faraneit. ***1.1.1.2.2 Informational Questions: ****1.1.1.2.2.1 Questionable Sentence Elements *****1.1.1.2.2.1.1 Of the main clause, the subject, both indirect and direct objects, as well as the verb can be questioned. ''Zealoaj nakat dekein?'', Who stole it? ''Zealoajoat nakeir?'', They stole what? *****1.1.1.2.2.1.2 Faraneit does not properly distinguish between subordinate and main clauses as English and other languages do. Therefore this question does not apply; the above answer suffices for subordinate clauses as well. *****1.1.1.2.2.1.3 Noun phrases can not be questioned in Faraneit, unless they are the subject or object of the phrase, while prepositional phrases, and then they are questioned as an entire unit. A seperate idea is questioned rather than a parcel of the original. Instead of saying, "The ''red'' block?" Faraneit only has the construction, "Do you want the red block?" Although, in slang shorthand, it is common for the speakers to simply say, "Red?" ("Lejeih dekein qeitom?" and "Qeitom?") *****1.1.1.2.2.1.4 Prepositional Phrases can be questioned in two ways: in entirety ("Across Lescealh?" "Deih Lescealh?") or simply in mode ("Across?"

Classical Arithide adjectives 3857 47350 2009-07-18T10:31:00Z Denihilonihil 119 /* Attributive usage & case-marking */ '''Adjectives in [[Classical Arithide]]''', in accordance with the language's left-branching nature, are generally placed before the noun they modify (as with [[Classical Arithide adverbs|adverbs]]), but may technically be placed anywhere in a sentence due to the extensive case-marking system. This latter point is definitely true only for the standard dialect of the Equora dynasty; adjectival case-marking was rare before and gradually fell out of favour after the time, and even in the Equora, was an innovation adopted from the dialects of western [[Calagia]] and [[Demedria]]. As such, in Classical Arithide, adjectives were a rather nebulous class of words, and their indeterminate, halfway-house status contributed to their amorphism, or rather polymorphism, over the years, and indeed, a cursory glance at the adjectives in a certain text and the way they are inflected is one of the surest ways to discern the period from which it came. The prestige tongue of the Equora dynasty, the most widely written and recognised variant, and the common modern benchmark for "standard" Classical Arithide, had two types of word, of more or less equal ubiquity, that could be considered as "adjectives": #'''Verbal adjectives''', also called '''adjectival verbs''', depending on the academic source, which were technically stative verbs, and constitute the vast majority of Classical Artihide adjectives. These were and are quoted in dictionaries in the infinitive verb-form. #'''Nominal adjectives''', or '''adjectival nouns''', again depending on academic source, which behaved grammatically as nouns, like Latin adjectives. These were and are quoted in dictionaries in the nominative singular of the first declension. It is worth noting that while nominal adjectives understandably decline for case, even verbal adjectives, when used attributively, take case-endings as well. ==Verbal adjectives== Most words that could conceivably be used with an adjectival function were technically stative verbs, e.g. ''egnēn'', "black", or literally, "to be black", having the ability to conjugate for tense, mood and aspect while modifying a noun, whether predicatively or attributively. These adjectives behaved much like the "''i''-adjectives" of Japanese. While predicative use of verbs as adjectives was expected, the attributive property grew out of a grammatical device, now largely disused, of making verbs into modifiers by displacing them to the front of nouns rather than behind them, as is the usual SOV order. ===Conjugation=== Verbal adjectives typically belong to the consonant-stem conjugation (see [[Classical Arithide conjugation]]). An example of a verbal adjective would be ''nistēn'' "fast", or literally "to be fast". Predicatively ("the car '''is fast'''"), it would be conjugated ''nista'' to mean "it is fast", or ''niste'' to express that it used to be fast. When the adjective is used attributively ("the '''fast''' car"), the aspectual participles are used instead, and while past states still retain the use of the perfective aspect (''nistēm''), the imperfective aspect is employed for current states (''nistī''). *''Viringa nista.'' The car is fast. *''Nistī viringa dagemenum dakte.'' The fast car stopped in front of the house. (lit. "is-fast sedan house-front-at stopped") The existence of this present- and past-state distinction enables some handy locutions as well: *'''''Ielanēm''' konkanditis '''egnī''' assula levē agare'' The sky that was '''once blue''' but now '''black''' with rage howled ferociously (Osces, ''Poetry'') To form the future tense, the simple future ending is not used with adjectives; rather, ''-allān'', cliticised from the verb ''hallān'' "to become", is used as an auxiliary, taking on the present tense and imperfective aspectual ending. ===Attributive usage & case-marking=== Case endings are, logically, not required with predicative uses of verbal adjectives, not only because the adjective can only, by definition, be in the nominative, but also because the adjective is, here, grammatically a verb (since the adjective itself encompasses the copula), thus inflecting only for time and not case. With attributive use, however, cases are marked, though generally no endings are appended in the nominative. When the adjective modifies a noun in a case other than the nominative, however, case endings become necessary for purposes of disambiguation: *''Viringa nistī fyre.'' The fast car left. *''Viringatis nistītis fyre.'' (I/We/You/He/She/It/They) left in the fast car. (lit. "by the fast car")<br/> ''c.f.'' ''Viringatis nistī fyre.'' I/You (sg.)/He/She/It who is fast left in the car. (singular due to ''nistī''; plural nominative would be ''nistīēs'') The adjective takes on the case endings of the appropriate lexical class, i.e. the one to which the noun being modified belongs. Exceptions are that nouns of the sixth declension (agentive nouns) take adjectives declined in the fifth declension, and that declension VIII nouns (derivatives) take adjectives declined as per declensions I, II, III or IV according to their nominative ending. Note: towards the end of the dynasty the innovation of a final ''-m'', borrowed from the perfective participle, with the imperfective participle (leading to ''egnīm'' etc.) spread to adjectives as well, and subsequently gave rise to the ''-im'' adjectival ending of [[Modern Arithide]]. ==Nominal adjectives== The nominal adjectives, which behave as nouns like their Latin counterparts, do not, due to their nature, conjugate for time-distinctions unlike the verbals. In addition, as they are technically nouns, their semantic scope does not include a [[Classical Arithide copula|copula]], and in predicative usage such an equating verb is frequently needed to express what would, with verbal adjectives, be encoded in the conjugation; innovation, however, reanalysed some nominal adjectives as nouns, and subsequently deriving verbal adjectives through the suffixation of the general-purpose adjectivaliser ''-nēn'' (see [[#Deriving adjectives from nouns]] below). Many adjectives in the nominal class tend to be concerned with appearance, e.g. ''oluros'' "ugly, out-of-shape", ''vobulos'' "pitch-dark", ''nassos'' "deepest, ulterior, core". Exceptions include all the adjectives of colour, which are morphologically derived from the names of the individual colours by affixing ''-nēn'', and are hence verbal in nature. ===Declension=== Nominal adjectives can be further divided into two groups based on their declension behaviour. Most nominal adjectives are of fixed declensions, i.e. their declension class is invariable regardless of the class of the noun they are modifying: in the nominative, ''vobul'''os''' aumos'' "dark cave" (declension I), ''vobul'''os''' hael'' "dubious personality" (V), or ''vobul'''os''' vosi'' "suspicious step/move" (VII). Such adjectives are quoted in dictionaries in the nominative singular form. Not all adjectives of invariable declension class belong to the first declension, however. Certain, like ''lisis, lisit-'' "wispy" are declension VII adjectives, which means they decline as follows, differently from ''pan'' above: ''list'''īs''' baletēs'', ''list'''itē''' sivianēs'' and ''lisit'''erei''' foritēnēs''. *N.b. With ''lisis, lisit-'', as with all other Classical Arithide words, syncope occurs, that is reflected in the orthography, of the ''-i-'' in the sequence ''-sit-'' when in an unstressed syllable or when another ''-i'' occurs immediately after the ''-t''. Another commonly known example of such syncope is with the passive voice. There exist also some adjectives with variable declension classes. One of them is ''lef'' "big" {{footnote|1}}, which adopts its target noun's lexical class and declines accordingly. Hence: *''levēs baletēs'' "grand possibilities (VIII)" *''levanēs sivianēs'' "of big towns (II)" *''levēnēs foritēnēs'' "to big miners (VI)" {{footnote|1}} ''Lef'', when used predicatively, has a verbal form ''levēn'', which is a mixed conjugation verbal, taking vowel-stem endings with the stem ''lep-''. ====''Pan'' "all"==== The adjective ''pan'' is unique, in that as a mass adjective it does not have a plural form. With other similar adjectives, the plural would be used in the above examples. In later Classical Arithide ''pan'' would lose even its case endings and become a completely invariable adjective. The following is an example of the standard declension of ''pan'': *''pan baletēs'' "all possibilities (VIII)" *''panan sivianēs'' "of all towns (II)" *''panae foritēnēs'' "to all miners (VI)" ===Derivatives from verbs=== The participle forms of verbs could also be used as adjectives, without further modification. These derivative adjectives fall under the nominal class, and are not availed the subtle distinctions of present and past states as are the adjectives of the verbal class. The participle adjectives are all of variable declensions, and they conjugate as per the declension class of the noun modified. *''Īde tath zurōnēs enēn mēsēs labi, futisi '''lārīē segē''' nollos.''<br>alas again cruel.PL return.INFIN Fate.PL call.IMPF, hide.IMPF-and.CLIT '''swimming.PL.ACC eye.PL.ACC''' sleep.NOM<br>"Alas again the cruel Fates are calling me back, and sleep is obscuring my swimming eyes." (Lēspēs, ''Laments'') Similarly to verbal adjectives, these derived adjectives were affected by the rise of the use of final ''-m'' late in the Equora. ==Comparison== The comparison of Classical Arithide adjectives ("as ... as ...", "more ... than" etc.) makes extensive use of cases and suffixes, as elaborated in the sections below. ===Equivalence=== Equivalence can be expressed in any of a number of ways, and with the example sentence "The tree is as tall as the house" we have the following possible locutions, with noteworthy areas grammatically annotated: *''Kisag dagena siōnna.''<br>tree house.EQUIV tall<br>Here the equating particle ''-ena'' "like" is attached to the reference. *''Kisag dag siōnna.''<br>tree house.ESS tall<br>The reference here is in the essive case to signal equivalence. *''Kisag dagen opena siōnna.''<br>tree house.GEN same.EQUIV tall<br>Here the comparison is explicit. In all the above examples, the subject "tree" is in the nominative case; in all the cases it can be replaced with the topical case, ''kisagai''. ===Comparatives=== The most common method to construct a positively comparative adjective ("more ... than") is to use the suffix ''-or'', which appends to the adjectival stem; negatively comparative adjectives are made with ''-ys''. To the resultant comparative are then affixed further articles of agreement, such as lexical class, case and number. In predicative uses of nominal-class adjectives, the presence of the comparative precludes the need for a copula or verbalisation (as seen with ''siōn'' "tall" in the past few examples). Comparatives can, however, also be formed by periphrasis, and at times a combination of the two methods: "The tree is taller than the house." *''Kisag dagōn siōnor.''<br>tree house.ABL tall.COMPP<br>This is the most common method. The reference is in the ablative, and the adjective is comparative. *''Kisag dagōn siōnna.''<br>tree house.ABL tall<br>Here only the reference is marked with the ablative case. *''Kisagae dagōn siōnor.''<br>tree.DAT house.ABL tall.COMPP<br>The emphasis here is on the tree as being taller. *''Kisagae dagōn siōnna.''<br>tree.DAT house.ABL tall<br>Again, the comparative is dropped. "The tree is not as tall as the house." *''Kisag dagae siōnys.''<br>tree house.DAT tall.COMPN<br>This is the most common method. The reference is in the dative, and the adjective is comparative. *''Kisag dagae siōnna.''<br>tree house.DAT tall<br>Even the presence only of the dative case on the reference signals the subject's deficiency. *''Kisagai dagos siōnor.''<br>tree.TOP house.NOM tall.COMPP<br>Again, the phrasing suggests a deficiency on the tree's part. *''Kisagōn dagae siōnor.''<br>tree.ABL house.DAT tall.COMPP<br>Here the house is emphasised as being taller. *''Kisagōn dagae siōnna.''<br>tree.ABL house.DAT tall<br>The comparative was simply dropped. ===Superlatives=== Positive superlative adjectives are formed simply by appending ''-ad-'', followed by the appropriate nominal or verbal ending as required; negative ones add ''-uss-''. This method applies for both the predicative and attributive uses of adjectives. *''Aska nēsērē siōnnada.''<br>Aska boys.LOC tall.SUPP<br>Aska is the tallest amongst the boys. *''Aska nēsērē siōnnussa.''<br>Aska boys.LOC tall.SUPN<br>Aska is the least tall amongst the boys. ==Deriving adjectives== The derivation of adjectives mostly involved nouns as roots, except with the participle forms of verbs. Most derivations involve the affixation of adjectivalising suffixes to noun stems, i.e. the form without any grammatical ending (''didek-'' < ''didekos''), ===''e-'' and ''o-''=== These two prefixes make modifiers of nouns, the former according a positive meaning, and the latter a negative. E.g. ''dira'' "personal condition" becomes ''edira'' "feeling well", or ''odira'' "feeling under the weather". ===Applicative adjectivaliser ''-nai''=== The adding of the adjectivalising suffix ''-nai'' to a noun turns the noun into an adjective (more broadly speaking, a modifier) of applicative denotation: root nouns are not all related to their derivative adjectives in the same way. The suffix is made up of two parts, the first (''-n-'') being the marker for modifiers, and the second (''-ai'') indicating intransitivity. Phonetic assimilation takes place in cases where appending the suffix gives rise to certain consonant clusters: *'''-kn > -gn:''' ''didekos'', ''didek-'' "strength" > ''didegnai'' "strong" *'''-fn > -vn:''' ''leif'', ''leif-'' > ''leivnai'' *'''-bn > -mn:''' ''leber'', ''leb-'' "tail" > ''lemnai'' "tailed" *'''-tn, -dn, -rn > -nn:''' ''dīmotos'', ''dīmot-'' "law" > ''dīmonnai'' "lawful, legal"; ''sōdos'', ''sōd-'' "fear" > ''sōnnai'' "fearful, afraid; "klara'', ''klar-'' "horn" > ''klarenai'' "horned" When the noun stem ends in an ''-s'', a geminate consonant or a consonant cluster, an epenthetic ''-e-'' is inserted before the suffix; with ''s''-stem nouns the sibilant is voiced: *'''-sn > -zen:''' ''thalasos'', ''thalas-'' > ''thalazenai'' *'''geminates:''' ''lassos'' > ''lassenai'' *'''clusters:''' ''midra'' "minister" > ''midrenai'' "ministerial" All other unlisted consonant clusters are permissible. Note also that in all instances ''-gn'' is pronounced [ŋn] as elsewhere. ===Adjectives of approximation=== Adjectives of approximation, of which examples in English include "salty", "boyish" and "songlike", indicate the similarity of the noun described to the referent that forms the root of the adjective. Adjectivalisers of similarity in Classical Arithide include: *'''-(i)ēlēn''', verbal; "resembling, looking like" (derives from the noun ''hael'' "characteristic")<br>''alar'' "bird" > ''alarēlēn'' "birdlike" *'''-ītos''', nominal; "having the character of"<br>''dhīs'' "fest, celebration" > ''dhidītos'' "festive"; ''nēs'' "boy" > ''neītos'' "boyish" *'''-ōrēn''', verbal; "having or full of"<br>''ves'' "breeze" > ''vetōrēn'' "breezy" *'''-assēn''', verbal; "-ish"<br>''nēs'' "boy" > ''neassēn'' "boyish" ===Adjectives of relevance=== Familiar adjectivalisers of relevance in English are mostly Hellenic in origin: ''-ic'', as in ''poetic'' "in the manner of a poem/poet" or ''Tantric'' "regarding the Tantras"; ''-ous'', as in ''famous'' "having a lot of fame". Classical Arithide has the following: *'''-(i)kios''', nominal; "in the manner of" (derives from the verb ''ikēn'' "to pass")<br>''paryos'' "poem" > ''parykios'' "poetic" *'''-(i)nos''', nominal; "-(i)an", characteristic of; related to<br>''zier'' "people" > ''zīrinos'' "human" *'''-(i)vēn''', verbal; "having a tendency to"<br>''fignēn'' "to light up and start burning" > ''fignivēn'' "easily flammable" *'''-(i)ōs, -(i)od-''', nominal; "consisting of"<br>''orathos'' "religion" > ''orathōs'' "religious, infused with religion" *'''-essēn''', verbal; "believing in" (derives from ''hessēn'' "to believe")<br>''elamos'' "freedom" > ''elamessēn'' "libertarian" ===Adjectives of belonging=== Under this category fall adjectives that describe the "belonging" of a person, an object etc. to another, like the English suffixes ''-(i)an'' ("Egyptian", "Republican"). There are in Classical Arithide the ones below: *'''-ēthos'''{{footnote|1}}, nominal; indicates nationality or origin<br>''Lybein'' "[[Lybia]]" > ''Lybēthos'' "Lybian"; ''[[Isphea]]'' > ''Isphēthos'' "Isphean" *'''-udēn'''{{footnote|1}}, verbal; "to be of a nationality or origin"<br>''[[Areth]]'' > ''Arudēn'' "to be an Areth"; ''Isphēthos'' > ''Isphudēn'' "to be an Isphean" *'''-(i)meos''' or '''-(e)mios''', nominal; indicating a certain style<br>''ante'' "water" > ''antimeos/antemios'' "fluid like water, fluent like water" {{footnote|1}}These two suffixes are used complementarily. ==Derivation from adjectives== ===Adverbs=== Most adverbs are formed from adjectives: *with the ending ''-ē'' in place of the declension endings for nominal-class adjectives (''aretis'' "emotionally painful" > ''aretiē'' "painfully"), *by appending ''-ur'' to the stems of verbal adjectives (''milnai'' "vivacious" > ''milnur'' "vivaciously"), or *by using ''-ider'' for certain adjectives, including all variable-declension ones (''kar'' "gentle" > ''karider'' "gently"). These endings convert adjectives to adverbs as predictably as the English suffix "-ly". ===Nouns=== Deriving nouns from adjectives ("sweet' > "sweetness" etc.) involves two different processes in Classical Arithide, a different one for each of the nominal and verbal classes. Verbal adjectives form their nouns regularly as with other verbs, by simply subtituting the verbal infinitive ending ''-ēn'': *With the supine ending ''-os'' to form the noun of quality (identical to the English endings "-ness" or "-(i)ty"); *With the agentive ending ''-on'' to form the substantive noun (as with English "libertarian" > "libertarian"). Nominal adjectives form their nouns with different suffixes from the verbal class. While some derivations appear irregular, it is due to phonetic changes that have obscured the relationship between the adjective and its derivative. To the stem of the nominal adjective is appended: *''-(i)thos'' to form the noun of quality that declines with declension VIII; *''-(i)tā'' (from ''-tata'') to form the substantive noun that declines with declension V. ===Verbs=== Verbs that can be formed from adjectives can be divided into two general types: transitive (e.g. "sweeten", "simplify") and intransitive ("ripen"). In Classical Arithide, to form the former group of verbs, one simply has to add the causativising verbal suffix ''-ārēn'' to the adjective's stem; the latter group comes about through more various ways&mdash;by adding ''-erēn'' (''mal'' > ''malerēn'' "to ripen"), by simply adding the verbal suffix ''-ēn'' to the stem, or by arbitrary inflections (''histos'' "holy" > ''histamēn'' "to sanctify"). ==See also== *[[Classical Arithide]] *[[Classical Arithide grammar]] *[[Classical Arithide declension]] *[[Classical Arithide conjugation]] *[[Classical Arithide adverbs]] *[[Classical Arithide determiners]] *[[Classical Arithide adpositions]] *[[Classical Arithide pro-forms]] [[Category: Ilethes]] [[Category: Languages of Ilethes]] [[Category: Arithide]] Talk:Tzenejri 3858 20603 2007-03-26T19:12:51Z Rivendale 279 New page: Hi, dont know if you still access your language.

SILINDION 3859 25434 2007-09-17T04:29:01Z Erelion12 120 Silindion is the language of the [[Silineste]], who live in the country of [[Nole Silinel]] which is located in the southern part of Andolien a major region of the planet of Oreni. Basic facts about Silindion are: 1) It is VSO 2) It is fairly agglutinative in morphology, but has extensive morphophonemic rules which tend to obscure the boundaries between stem and suffix. 3) At last count it has around 1900 words. 4) It is based on Latin, Gaelic, Sanskrit, Greek, Finnish, Quenya and various other (mostly European) languages. 5) Its closest relatives are [[Essamea]] and [[Silic]].

This approach is really inspired by what's happened in the Germanic languages and also French (and Catalan to a lesser extent), and increasingly in Spanish etc. I see it as what will probably be the ultimate fate of the endings in many modern Romance languages anyway. So, to the chase: ==Pronouns== I=eg Me=me You sing.=tu, te It=ill He=ille She=illa We/Us=nós You pl.=vós They=ills/os/as ==Pronunciation/Orthography== Classical latin. Double consonants and long vowels are optional in both writing a speaking. "v" and "j" for the semivowels are probably actually quite a good idea, but whatever. ==Other stuff== Most of the endings are axed full stop, but problems occur with semi-vowels. "lingua"->"ling", "aqua"-"ac" are just about OK, but what happens to "seruus"? Most recognisable would be "serv" of course. Maybe semivowels can be written as <v> and <j> and kept in stems altogether - "lingv", "aqv", "serv" thus. ==Example== ''Salu! Nom mi est Caecil. Eg in Rom viv. Qvod est nom tu?''

It possesses the following distinctive features: *Verbal roots which exist in aspectual pairs *A system of trivative logic; i.e. morphological changes to a verb that cause it to denote a categorically affirmative, negative, or neutral action. All verbs in Laur are inherently neutral. This system eliminates many uses of the subjunctive mood in other languages. *A system of preverbs, verbal prefixes, series markers, and verbal suffixes similar to verbal structures of many polysynthetic languages. In certain semantic cases the patient can be incorporated into the verb. *A double-tripartite case structure with mono- and di-transitive distinction. *An auxiliary form of the verb "to be" that does not inflect for tense or aspect but is served by floating particles in the clause. It attaches directly to adjectives and substantives, and as a copula it is absent except in adverbial constructions. *Two numeric systems used for different things - the '''kiadun''' operates on base-20 while the '''saiodun''' is base-12. *Strong and Weak nouns - strong nouns possess an oblique form for inflection. All substantives also have a bound form used in genitival constructions.

In some contexts, it can refer to a group of several related crops, or the lyav proper. In this article, "lyav" refers to the standard flower-head variety. == Appearance and Cultivation == The ''lyav'' proper is an annual plant, though other varieties (as well as its wild ancestor) were perenniels. The plant itself is a tall flowering plant, with a single large head. The head is a bright yellow flower, resembling an Earth [[Wikipedia:Sunflower|Sunflower]]. Most modern varieties must be staked due to the weight of the head. After the flower has bloomed, the entire head can be eaten, although it is more common to remove the seeds to thresh into a kind of meal. The leaves are also edible. Purely ornamental varieties have also been developed. Lyav is planted after the last spring frost, and is generally ready for harvest in 100-150 days, depending on the variety. The wild form generally grew to around 6-10 feet in height, but most modern varieties grow to only about 5 feet in height, devoting most of their energy to seed production. Traditionally, only the head was harvested, while the edible (but less pleasant-tasting) leaves and stalks were left for landless poor. In famine times, however, that custom was often ignored. == Uses == The head can be used for many purposes. It can be cooked and eaten by itself, but more commonly, the seeds are removed by threshing. The remaining head is used as animal feed, while the seeds are ground into a meal, which can be prepared in a number of ways. == History == The [[Valibi antiquus|original wild ancestor]] had a much smaller head, larger leaves, and an underground tuber. Several other crops have been derived from the same ancestor, emphasizing the leaves or tuber. The lyav was first domesticated by [[pteranthropus kalpanis|P. kalpanis]] tribes, and subsequently adopted by early humans. == Cultural Significance == The vilyav was historically the main staple of the Kasshi and other northwestern Odiran cultures, though in the days of the [[Second Kasshi Empire]], [[Wikipedia:rice|rice]] was encountered in southern regions, and came to gain some importance, particularly in southern parts of the Empire, where the climate was more conducive to growing rice. The term is often used to refer to food in general, much like bread in Western civilizations of Earth, or rice in Eastern civilizations.

The Earl, who was the younger brother of the then King Henry III, was, at this time, one of the richest men in Europe, due to revenue from his Cornish estate. This wealth of course was enjoyed by Edmond AND Cadoc, since Cadoc had saved Edmonds life in a riding accident when they were teenagers. Edmond later inherited his fathers wealth when he died in 1272, and when Henry III died in November 1272, Edmund took a post in the governing council in England, promtly appointing Cadoc as his right hand man and managerial head of his Cornish estates. At this time, Cadoc was already running a profitable hemp trade throughout England and northern France. He also had his finger in the cornish tin industry, owning several mines. After studying history as a hobby, he discovered the cornish heritage in dal'qöria (although the Corno-dal'qörian connection had been lost now for some 400 years). This fertilised Cadoc's business brain with the idea of re-establishing the Cornish relations with the island, with a view to expanding his hemp trade. Terahnyan Sjol 3880 29249 2008-02-19T11:11:26Z Melroch 31 I'm putting all pages listed on [[List of conlangs]] into so that one can generate a list of them with a DPL query for category=Conlangs. [[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] = Background = Terahnyan Sjol was first documented on Earth in multi-species urban communities in the early 24rd century. It is clearly related to tlhIngan Hol, but it is more characteristic of an indigenous Earth language, such as French, Navajo, or Antarctican. It is believed to have emerged in immigrant communities who became more pluralistic after local authorities had established administrative and cultural centers. = Phonology = The sounds of Terahnyan Sjol are as follows: == Vowels == * a - like "a" in "father" * e - like "ai" in "aircraft" * i - like "ee" in "feet" * o - like "oa" in "boat" * u - like "oo" in "school" == Diphthongs == * ay - like "i" in "pipe" * aw - like "ou" in "output" * ew - no English equivalent, like German "ö" or French "eu" * ey - like "ay" in "ray" * iw - no English equivalent, like German "ü" or French "u" * ua - like "wa" in "schwa" * ue - like "wea" in "swear" == Consonants == * b - as in English * d - as in English * h - as in English. Unlike in English, this occurs at the end of syllables, though in many dialects it is dropped in such a position. * k - as in English * l - as in English * m - as in English * n - as in English * ng - as in English * p - as in English * r - as in Spanish or Italian (trilled) * s - as in English * sj - like "sh" in "ship" * t - as in English * th - like "th" in "think" * t - as in English * v - as in English * w - as in English * y - as in English * z - as in English * zj - like "si" in "provision" == Consonant Clusters == * dzj - like "j" in "jump" * ny - like "ny" in "canyon" * tsj - like "ch" in "chair" * st == Assimilation == When either of the sounds s or z occurs adjacent to either of the sounds sj or zj within a word, the second sound's articulation point changes to match that of the first. * s+sj becomes ss * z+zj becomes zz * sj+s becomes sjsj * zj+z becomes zjzj * s+zj becomes sz * z+sj becomes zs * sj+z becomes sjzj * zj+s becomes zjsj = Noun Morphology = TS is agglutinative. Nouns have 5 types of suffixes. A noun may have at most one suffix of each type, and the suffixes must be ordered according to their type numbers. == Type 1 == * -hah : augmentative * -sjom : diminutive * -ua : endearment (-wa on a root that ends in vowel) == Type 2 == * -mey : plural == Type 3 == Note: Type 3 suffixes are archaic and only used in highly stylized language. Their meanings are difficult to capture in English, so we paraphrase them here. * -nah : "That which I know to be ..." * -sjey : "That which I believe to be ..." * -kok : "That which I ironically call ..." The suffix -nah now has a completely different use as a nominalizer. See below. == Type 4 == * -vam : this, these * -veth : that, those * -wiz : my * -liz : your (singular) * -daz : his, her, its * -maz : our * -raz : your (plural) * -staz : their == Type 5 == * -heh : nominative * -yi : accusative (imperative only) * -dak : locative * -voh : ablative * -vad : dative * -moh : causative * -loh : instrumental = Verb Morphology = Verb suffixes are governed by rules similar to those for noun suffixes. The exception is type 1 verb suffixes, of which a verb may have more than one. The type 1 suffixes still occur in a specific order, so they are often classified as 1A, 1B, and 1C. == Type 1 == * (A) -sjah : equivalent to dis- or anti- in English. Indicates opposite or undoing. * (B) -mosj : causative/transitivizer * (C) -stuh : implies totality or absolution of action or state Examples: * yon - be satisfied * yonsjah - be dissatisfied * yonmosj - satisfy * yonstuh - be completely satisfied * yonsjahmosj - dissatisfy * yonmosjsjtuh - completely satisfy * yonsjahstuh - be completely dissatisfied * yonsjahmosjsjtuh - completely dissatisfy == Type 2 == * -hezj : reflexive * -stuk : reciprocal * -luh : passive Examples: * kip : hit * kiphezj : hit oneself * kipstuk : hit one another, hit each other * kipluh : be hit == Type 3 == * -stosj : begin, become * -kah : resume Examples: * nudstosj - begin examining * nudkah - resume examining == Type 4 == These represent the verb modalities. * -lasj : be able to * -kang : want to * -nis : need to * -tsjoh : refuse to * -vip : be afraid to == Type 5 == These suffixes indicate aspect of verbs. * -puh - perfect * -tasj - continuous * -besj - anticipative Examples: * sam - find * sampuh - just found * samtasj - finding * sambesj - about to find Occasionally a type 5 suffix occurs before a type 4 suffix in a verb. == Type 6 == These represent the qualifiers. * -bez : I know that... * -bah : it is obvious that... * -lawh : I think or have heard that... -bez indicates firsthand knowledge, while -lawh indicates secondhand knowledge. -bah indicates shared knowledge and is used simply to stipulate some established information, often when changing the subject. == Type 7 == * -hah - interrogative * -moh - conjunction (because) * -vis - conjunction (while) * -dih - conjunction (when) * -stuzj - conjunction (if) * -pah - conjunction (before) * -bozj - relativizer (who, which, that) * -mesj - purpose clause (in order to) * -zjast - gerund (-ing) == Negation == The negative suffix is -beh. Most neutrally it occurs after every verb suffix except a type 7 (if one is present). More emphatically it may directly follow certain suffixes. * zi lu lezjkahpuhbeh - I have not seen him again. == Emphasis == The emphatic verb suffix is -kuh. It usually occurs after a verb root to augment it. * tinkuh - very big = Nominalization = No root word can be both a noun and verb. Often a verb will have a noun form that differs only by the addition of one nominalizing suffix. * -zjast - gerund * -wih - agentive * -lih - patientive * -loh - resultative * -nah - general nominalizer = Syntax = == Simple Sentences == Basic word order in TS is SOV. * Sjodheh yas wahdist lezj. The captain sees the first officer. * Yas wahdistheh sjod lezj. The first officer sees the captain. The suffix -heh indicates the subject noun of the sentence. Adverbs and adverbial phrases occur almost anywhere in a sentence, but most neutrally they are found right before the verb. * Sjodheh yas payh lezj. The captain suddenly sees the officer. * Sjodheh yas mesjdak lezj. The captain sees the officer on the bridge. In imperative sentences, the subject "you" is understood, and the object noun ends in -yi. * Puhyi sjodvad nob. Give the phaser to the captain. == Tense == Tense is usually contextual and implicit, but it can be emphasized with special adverbs. * Sjodheh yas dasj lezj. The captain now sees the officer. * Sjodheh yas nyuzj lezj. The captain then saw the officer. * Sjodheh yas zjik lezj. The captain then will see the officer. == Voice == The suffix -luh indicates passive voice. * Yasheh lezjluh. The officer is seen. * Yasheh sjodmoh lezjluh. The officer is seen by the captain. == Focus == Noun phrases may follow verbs if they are focal or indefinite. * Yas lezj sjodheh. A captain sees the officer. The CAPTAIN (as opposed to someone else) sees the officer. * Sjodheh yas lezj mesjdak. The captain sees the officer on a bridge. OR ... on the BRIDGE (as opposed to somewhere else). Accusative nouns cannot occur after the verb. The passive must be employed. * Sjodmoh lezjluh yasheh. The captain sees an officer. The captain sees the OFFICER (as opposed to someone else). == Adjectives == A noun may be preceded by a stative verb. * tin duz : big ship == Possessive == Two nouns that occur next to each other form a possessive construction. The first noun is the possessor, while the second is the possessee. The second noun must be followed by -daz or -staz (depending on the number of the possessor). * sjod duzdaz : captain's ship * zazjmey nusjsjtaz : the enemies' weapon == Nominals == The suffix -zjast creates a gerund out of an entire verb phrase. * kohmey posmosjzjast - opening worlds * Kohmey posmosjzjastheh tsjath. Opening worlds is difficult. (It is difficult to open worlds.) * Sjoltezmeyheh kohmey posmosjzjast tiv. Linguists enjoy opening worlds. == Serial Verbs == Many verbs can occur in serial to form more complex phrases. These often correspond functionally to English prepositions. * mihtsjed kel zath : talk-consider math (talk about math) * pah hel yit : walk-enter room (walk into the room) Other verbs can be used in an adverbial sense. These are often idiomatic and difficult to apply broadly. * stev stop : bite-separate (bite off) * mez puv : fly-leave (fly away) * lim chong : sleep-delay (sleep in) * sal sayhmosj : clean-ascend (clean up) == Pronouns == The nominative pronouns are as follows: * zi - I * so - you (singular) * zja - he, she * ho - it * ma - we * thi - you (plural) * sta - they (plural of zja) * bi - they (plural of ho) The accusative pronouns are as follows: * mu - me * ni - you (singular) * lu - him, her, it * nu - us * li - you (plural) * di - them The other cases for pronouns are formed by attaching type 5 noun suffixes to the nominative forms of the verbs. * hodak - on/in/at it * zivad - for/to me * sovoh - from you * stamoh - due to them With imperative verbs a different set of accusative pronouns is used. * sji - me * yi - him, her, it * zjo - us * ti - them == Conjunctions == The simple conjunctions can be used to join any kind of phrase. * X hez Y - X and Y * X koz Y - X or Y or both * X pazj Y - X or Y == To Be == There is no explicit copula in TS. * Kamahheh zjokwih. The prisoner is a spy. == Sentence as Object == The pronoun heh is similar to English "that" in objectizing an entire sentence. * So kawhah heh zi vum? Do you remember that I work? == Question Words == * nuk : what * hiv : who * nukdak : where * zjodzj : when * kath : why * stayh : how Question words do not have special positions in sentences. = TODO = * antipassive * relative clauses * examples... lots and lots of examples [[Category:Conlangs]] Halcánian dialect 3881 34057 2008-07-17T16:28:28Z Rivendale 279 ===[[dal'qörian|back to Dalcurian main page]]=== The Halcarnian dialect arose out the isolation period between 500 to 1400AD. Halcarnia was the main southern port on the island, and a major trading artery to central Dalcuria. However, after a corruption battle between a Halcarnian provincial governor and the King's central governmant, Halcarnia was segragated from the rest of Dalcuria, and ran as an autonomous province for nearly 900 years. Halcarnia fell on very hard times during this period since Dalcuria's leaders had always forged good relationships with England and Europe, and they were extremely influential in directing trade away from the province, thus forcing Halcarnia to survive on a recipricol economy. This also had a significant effect on the language, which failed to evolve beyond the realm of Old Dalcurian.<br/>Dalcuria managed to reclaim Halcarnia at the beginning of the 14th century, but the dialect never became superstrated. Although business, political and religious affairs were standardized, both orally and in literacy, the standard tongue of the region was very healthily retained. Of course, from that time, the Halcarnian dialect has undergone changes along with middle to modern-Dalcurian, but retains many old-Dalcurian features such as verb moods and modality, verb-pronoun inflection, and noun cases and accusative marking. '''Pronunciation'''. There is a distinct difference between standard Dalcurian and Halcarnian pronunciation, mainly: * High front vowels '''i''' and '''é''' tend to be more rounded. * High back vowel '''u''' as in the noun ending '''ämös''' is shorter * Non use of neither the characters nor the sounds '''Þ''' and '''ø''' * Palatialization with doubled consonants-this is especially important in Halcarnian, for example the Halcarnian word for ''yearning/longing'' is '''hakan''' /hakan/ yet the word for a ''summer jacket'' is '''hakkan''' /hakʲan/ '''Written''' Halcarnians spell as they speak. The marked vowels '''á''' and '''ä''' can be seen, though this is normally reserved for formal contexts. The high front vowels '''é''' and '''i''' are also only used with formality, however, since they are not pronounced they don't appear in normal writting. For example: Dalcurian * '''vélø'''-''cold'' ** Halcarnian *** '''veloc Dalcurian * '''disiri vélø'''-''very cold'' ** Halcarnian *** '''desere veloc Proto-Nandi 3882 46393 2009-06-23T22:17:19Z Tropylium 756 /* Phonotactics */ category cleanup '''Proto-Nandi''' is a experimental conlang made by [[User:Sano|Sano]].

This means that the articles ''a'' and ''the'' are different for the subject and object of a sentence (see '''German'''). This meant that, because the subject and object were diffirentiated, word order was less rigid, and could easily be swapped around for ,let's say, emphasis. Look at this example (in OE): ** '''se mann rídeð ðæt hors'''-''A man rides a horse''. '''se''' can only mark the ''subject''. However, in OE one might wish to vary this by calling special attention to the horse as for example, in answer to the question '''Hwæt rídeð se mann?''' ''What is that man riding?'', by saying: ** '''ðæt hors rídeð se mann'''. Although the sentence now reads: ''A horse rides a man'' in English, the only way to efficiently translate this is to say, ''It's a horse that the man rides/is riding''. But in OE it still translates as, ''A man rides a horse'', because of the caseing. As stated, dal'qörian lost this use over time, becoming more related to English (probably due to its very close governmental and trade relationships over the past couple of centuries).

Nominally, it belongs to an independent branch of the IE family, though many characteristics point to a [[Wikipedia:Proto-Greek_language|pre-Proto-Greek]] or [[Wikipedia:Anatolian_languages|Anatolian]] origin. ==Culture== The Kuma-Koban people show material practices consistent with those of the [[Wikipedia:Srubna_culture|Srubna Culture]], with influence from the older Koban-Culture. ==Phonology== Kuma-Koban is rather conservative in terms of its phonological development away from PIE. It shows twelve plosive to six non-plosive consonants, and six vowel qualities and two lengths. The langauge only displays two fricatives, of which /h/ has a rather limited distribution, found only word-initially and between /a/ (for good historical reasons: /h/ < PIE *h2 or, more rarely, *h3). ===Major Historical Developments=== There are four main historical developments from [[Wikipedia:Proto-Indo-European_language|PIE]] to Kuma-Koban which deserve special consideration. These are, in their presumed order of occurrence, the preservation of PIE ''*h₂'' and ''*h₃'' as consinants before ''*e'', the vocalization of syllabic resonants, the splitting of the labiovelar series, and [[Wikipedia:Grassmann%27s_law|Grassmann's law]]. ====Laryngeal Preservation==== Kuma-Koban, unlike any other language outside Anatolia, preserves the PIE laryngeals ''*h₂'' and ''*h₃'' as /h/ before ''*e''. They show the same vowel-coloring property as in other languages, changing ''*e'' to /a/ and /o/ respectively. {| cellpadding="2" |''*h₂ab-ōl-'' || → || '''haboːl-''' || "fruit" |- |''*h₂euh₂-os'' || → || '''haːu-os''' || "grandfather" |- |''*h₃estH-'' || → || '''hostə-''' || "bone" |} The laryngeals then merge completely, and are preserved as a single vowel /ə/ between consonants and at word-boundaries: {| cellpadding="2" |''*h₃rēǵ-'' || → || '''əreːɟ-''' || "chief" |- |''*ph₂-tēr-'' || → || '''pʰəteːr-''' || "father" |} ====Syllabic Resonants==== Syllabic resonants, both alone and with laryngeals (i.e. the "long syllabics") behave much as they do in Sanskrit or Lithuanian. The vowel which the syllable takes depends on the preceding consonant: we see {{IPA|/u/}} after labiovelars, and /ə/ elsewhere. {| border="1" cellpadding="5" class="wikitable" |+ PIE forms and KK Reflexes |- ! || C_C || (C.)C_V || Cʷ_C || (C.)Cʷ_V |- !''*rH'' |əːr || ər || uːr || ur |- !''*lH'' |əːl || ə || uːl || ul |- !''*r'' | ər || r || ur || r |- !''*l'' | əl || l || ul || l |- !''*mH'' | əː || əm || uː || um |- !''*nH'' | əː || ən || uː || un |- !''*m'' | ə || (ə)m || ə || (u)m |- !''*n'' | ə || (ə)n || ə || (u)n |} ====Labiovelars==== At a relatively early stage in its development, Kuma-Koban lost the labiovelars as a phonemic series: ''*kʷ *gʷ *gʷʰ'' split into plain labials and plain velars, conditioned on the roundness of nearby vowels. When a labiovelar is preceded immediately by ''*u'' or ''*ū'', or followed by any round vowel, it will lose its lip-rounding feature to become a plain velar. This also occurs before *s. Otherwise, the labiovelars become plain labials. {| cellpadding="5" |+ Conditioned Splitting of Labiovelars |''*kʷ *gʷ *gʷʰ'' || → || /k g gʰ/ || /_[V+Round] /_s /u(ː)_ |- |''*kʷ *gʷ *gʷʰ'' || → || /p b bʰ/ || elsewhere |} ====Grassmann's Law==== This is a sound law governing the distribution of aspirated plosives within a root, as seen in Greek, Sanskrit, and Kuma-Koban. ===Allophony=== ==Morphology== ==Morphosyntax== ==Syntax== First Kingdom (KVC) 3906 45389 2009-05-14T21:31:05Z Thegoatman 605 Removing all content from page User:Poleasc 3907 21602 2007-05-03T04:10:51Z Poleasc 604 POLEASC abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ User:Sherlock 3910 21647 2007-05-04T13:04:42Z Sherlock 60 Start Hello to everyone!

The terms for family members are: == Basic terms == *Chinani - Mother or Mother's sister *Natatu - Father or Father's brother *Chichoppa - Wife *Chitassauppa - Co-wife *Najīlakos - Husband (monogynous) *Nachoppa - Husband (bigynous) *Nrantani - Co-husband *Chitassa - Younger sister or female [[Wikipedia:parallel cousin|parallel cousin]] *Natassa - Younger brother or male parallel cousin *Chespa (pl.

Nassatalki) - Older brother or male parallel cousin *Trikan - Daughter (also, daughter of same-sex sibling) *Nrikan - Son (also, son of same-sex sibling) *Chikalū - Niece (daughter of opposite-sexed sibling) *Nakalū - Nephew (son of opposite-sexed sibling) *Chimitā - Father's sister *Nazonka - Mother's brother *Chikottas (pl. chekkottachi) - Female [[Wikipedia:cross cousin|cross cousin]] (see below for other uses) *Nakottas (pl. nakkottachi) - Male cross cousin (see below for other uses) *Chimanū - Maternal Grandmother or mother's mother's sister *Nrammanū - Maternal Grandfather *Naqualol - Paternal Grandfather or father's father's brother *Tranqualol - Paternal Grandmother **If needed, one can distinguish between siblings/parents/children and cousins/uncles/aunts/nephews/nieces adding the adjective ''chinokku/nanokku'' (near) for siblings/parents/children or ''chīpa/nāpa'' (far, pl. ''chekkapai/nakkapai'') for cousins/uncles/aunts/nephews/nieces ==Other terms== *Nrannani - The father of one's child, often used for "husband" after the birth of the couple's first child ==More complex terms== Further terms, as well as additional uses of ''chikalū'', ''nakalū'', ''chikottas'', and ''nakottas'' require an understanding of the dual-clan system of the Kasshi. Every individual belonged to two clans, a patrilineal one, inherited from one's father, and passed down through a male line, and a matrilineal one, inherited from one's mother, and passed down through a female line. This is the reason for the distinction between parallel and cross cousins. One's father's brother's children belong to the same patrilineal clan as oneself, while one's mother's sister's children belong to the same matrilineal clan. However, one's father's sister's children and one's mother's brother's children do not share clan membership, the reason being that, while one's father and father's sister have the same dual clan membership, one's father passed to his children his patrilineal clan membership, while his sister passed on the matrilineal clan membership. Likewise with one's mother's brother. Past grandparents, only ancestors in a matrilineal or patrilineal line are named. Great-grandparents in a matrilineal or patrilineal line (that is, mother's mother's parents and father's father's parents) are ''chikanda'' (pl. ''chekkandaffi'') and ''nasadru''. The next generation above that is ''chikanda chībi'' and ''nasadru nābi'' (literally ''second chikanda'' and ''second nasadru'') and so on. For one's descendants, a man's male line grandchildren or a woman's female line grandchildren are called ''chidumaç'' and ''nadumaç''. A man's male-line greatgrandchildren or a woman's female-line greatgrandchildren are called ''chinunu'' and ''nanunu''. The next generation is ''chinunu chībi'' and ''nanunu nābi'' (literally ''second chinunu'' and ''second nanunu''). Other grandchildren are called ''chiquilu'' and ''naquilu''. Great-grandchildren who are not in a straight same-sex line are ''chiquilu chībi'' and ''naquilu nābi'' (''second chiquilu'' and ''second naquilu'' respectively), and so on. The terms ''nakottas'' and ''chikottas'', translated above as cross-cousin, are more accurately defined as the child of a woman of one's patrilineage or a man of one's matrilineage. Thus, for example, the children of your father's brother's daughter or your mother's sister's son are also called ''nakottas'' and ''chikottas''. Descendants of these relatives are not named. One's father's father's brother's children are called 2nd ''natatu'' and 2nd ''chimitā'', while mother's mother's sister's children are 2nd ''chinani'' and 2nd ''nazonka'' [[Category:Kasshian languages]] [[Category:Lexica]] [[Category:Classical Kasshian|Family Terms]] File:Web example1.jpg 3914 21748 2007-05-13T17:17:31Z Rivendale 279 File:Ela mantab 16.jpg 3915 21749 2007-05-13T17:23:25Z Rivendale 279 File:Ela mantab current.jpg 3916 21750 2007-05-13T17:23:57Z Rivendale 279 File:Marriage cert final unfinished copy.jpg 3917 21751 2007-05-13T17:35:25Z Rivendale 279 File:Marriage cert final small.jpg 3918 21753 2007-05-13T17:47:39Z Rivendale 279 Hibernic 3919 21809 2007-05-21T19:07:29Z Paul.w.bennett 301 /* Pronouns */ Hibernic is a language of Norse America and Western Europe in the [[Finla]] AU.

Arithmographic language 3921 50037 2009-11-02T18:16:22Z WeepingElf 43 '''Arithmographic language''' is a term coined by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] for a particular type of [[philosophical language]] first envisioned by G. W. Leibniz. In an arithmographic language, words are encoded numerically. Semantic primitives are represented by prime numbers; more complex concepts are represented by numbers obtained by multiplying the numbers of the semantic primitives. For example, if the idea "life" is assigned the number 2, all living beings receive even numbers and all inanimate things receive odd numbers. The numbers are then converted into pronounceable words using a pronunciation rule which maps integer numbers into strings of phonemes. Arithmographic languages are more flexible than the more familiar taxonomic-type languages; an advantage of the arithmographic approach is that the vocabulary is open because there is an infinity of prime numbers. Another advantage is that words for related concepts do not sound similar because the numbers assigned to these concepts, while being related by common factors, look different.

Demonstrative pronouns are also listed below. ==Pronouns== Like nouns, Classical Arithide pronouns [[Classical Arithide declension|decline]] for case, and sometimes number. Pronouns can be divided into two large groups: personal pronouns and impersonal pronouns. The former includes words like ''des'' "I" and ''kēa'' "oneself", as well as the distributive pronouns like "each" and "neither"; the latter is further subdivided into possessive pronouns ("This book is '''mine'''."), relative pronouns ("The car '''which'''..."), interrogative pronouns ("'''Who''' did this?"), and demonstrative pronouns ("'''This''' is good."). ===Personal pronouns=== Personal pronouns in Classical Arithide number many more than the average European language. In the traditional grammar, there are two types of personal pronouns: the '''direct''' class, corresponding to the "I", "you", "we" etc. of Indo-European languages and including the reflexive pronoun, which directly refer to people by their grammatical argument in a sentence; the '''indirect''' class, which, as its name suggests, refers to people via descriptive terms much as royalty are referred to as "Your Majesty", and which tends to be honorific in nature. All direct personal pronouns in Classical Arithide are irregularly declined, as in many languages. There are separate pronouns for each of the three persons and two numbers (and a distinction between the inclusive and exclusive "we"), as well as reflexive pronouns. They are listed and declined below: {|style="border: 1pt solid #cccccc; width: 920px; padding: 2px;" cellspacing="0" ! || ''1p. sg.'' <br>"me" || ''1p. pl. excl.'' <br>"we, not you" || ''1p. pl. incl.'' <br>"we + you" || ''2p. sg.'' <br>"you" || ''2p. pl.'' <br>"you" || ''3p. sg.'' <br>"he/she/it"{{footnote|1}} || ''3p. pl.'' <br>"they" |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Nom. || des || rīs || er || his || aus || na || kina |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Top. || dās || rigās || ergās || hās || vās || nās || kinās |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Acc. || dei (dege) || rei (rege) || ergē || he(te) || vete || nede || kinede |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Gen.{{footnote|2}} || den, din- || rin, rign- || ern, ergn- || hes, het- || ves, vet- || nes, net- || kines, kinet- |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Dat. || dinai || irige || ergaí || hinai || ivine || nizai || kinizai |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Loc.{{footnote|3}} || dēnou, dum || irigum || ergum || hēnou, hum || ivēnum || nēzou, num || kinum |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Abl. || dēdō || irigō || ergō || hēdō || ivēnō || nēdō || kinēdō |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Ins. || ditis || irigis || ergis || hesis || ivesis || nesis || kinesis |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Voc. || diā || rīgā || ērgiā || hī || vīdā || nāi || kināi |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Ess./Con. || di, de(g)- || rī, ri(g)- || erga, erg(e)- || he, hi(n)- || vī, vi(d)- || ne, ni(z)- || kine, kini(z)- |} {{footnote|1}} "It" here refers only to animate objects, such as animals and insects, or a gender-unspecified person such as a baby. For inanimate objects, see below. {{footnote|2}} The first form in each pair is used in contexts where case marking is not needed or wanted; the second form where it is, and takes the appropriate case ending of the first declension. {{footnote|3}} Where case forms occur in pairs, the first of each pair is literal in meaning, i.e. "on me, on my body" etc., while the second is idiomatic, i.e. "with regard to me, as for me" etc. For inanimate objects, there were a separate set of pronouns. These were basically the pronominal stems of the appropriate person with first declension endings added. {|style="border: 1pt solid #cccccc; width: 320px; padding: 2px;" cellspacing="0" ! || ''2p. sg./pl.'' <br>"you" || ''3p. sg.'' <br>"it" || ''3p. pl.'' <br>"they" |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Nom. || hos || nos || kinos |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Top. || hou || nou || kinou |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Acc. || ho || no || kino |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Gen. || hin, hen- || nin, nen- || kinin, kinen- |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Dat. || hae || nae || kinae |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Loc. || hira || nira || kinira |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Abl. || hōn || nōn || kinōn |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Ins. || hois || nois || kinois |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Voc. || hā || nā || kinā |- |style="width: 80px; font-weight: bold"| Ess./Con. || - || - || - |} The reflexive pronoun ("self", or, in compounds, "-self") has only two forms, the singular and plural, and each is declined below.

If, however, your primary goal is to have an actual 1-phoneme-per-morpheme language, then by all means go ahead, I'd like to see what you come up with :) [[User:Soap|Soap]] 09:08, 23 May 2007 (PDT) User:DiZ 3926 27919 2008-01-03T05:19:58Z DiZ 616 <big>'''Zfârzâbêzet kunazi ut utži-zeð êmedd | Welcome to my userpage''' </big> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |+<big >'''"DiZ" a.k.a.

[[Constructed language]]s are nothing new to me, though this wiki is, so if I do something wrong, please let me know. I am working on one conlang to which I will dedicate my time and effort, after many long-forgotten efforts in the past. It is called [[Napkožæc]], and it is loosely based on [[Wikipedia:PIE|Proto Indo-European]] language, with some personal æsthetics mixed in. It was originally intended for use in a personal fantasy story of mine, but I have decided to elaborate it further. I know next to nothing about the IPA alphabet, little about phonetics, or really advanced grammar (though I understand basics), but I always try my best. I am familiar with wikis in general, as I contribute to Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia (an awesome satirical encyclopedia), and other various wikis. Right now I am also working on developing the base for a conlang called "Norlandic" which will be a historical alternative to modern North Germanic languages, for incorporation into a new alternate history conworld. ==In Napkožæc== Ngâmnôra ngazerse ezæži DiZ, D makse, i bazise, Z makse; sanšut nožâbêz vezi êm DiZtheGreat, Wikiwow, AmpleVoltage, êz nêzaži sansutsian ngâmnen.

However, the language can be transliterated into the Latin alphabet using digaphs and diacritics that correspond to character combinations in Napkožæc. For the purposes of convenience, the majority of words will be written using this transliterated Latinized form. The alphabet is as follows: Aa Ââ Ææ Bb Cc Dd Ðð Ee Êê Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Ôô Pp Rr Ss Šš Tt Uu Vv Ww Zz Žž Þþ With three additional graphemes: Dd, Ng, Wr These graphemes, as they represent their own distinct sounds, are treated as separate letters in the Napžic script. ==Phonology== ===Vowels=== A - {{IPA|[ɑ]}} f'''a'''ther; some dialects, {{IPA|/a/}} <i>'''a'''mor</i> (Spanish) <br>  - {{IPA|[æ]}} s'''a'''t<br> Æ - {{IPA|[ɛ]}} b'''e'''d<br> E - {{IPA|[e]}} <i>'''e'''ntender</i> <br> Ê - {{IPA|[ɪ]}} p'''i'''t<br> I - {{IPA|[i]}} m'''ee'''t<br> O - {{IPA|[o]}} <i>s'''o'''bre</i><br> Ô - {{IPA|[ə]}} lem'''o'''n; when stressed, {{IPA|/ʌ/}} r'''u'''n<br> U - {{IPA|[u]}} t'''oo'''<br> ===Consonants=== ====Table==== {| !Type || Bilabial || Labio-dental || Dental || Alveolar || Palatal || Post-alveolar || Labial-velar || Velar || Uvular || Glottal |- |plosive || p '''b''' || || || t '''d''' || || || || k '''g''' |- |fricative || ɸ || f || θ '''ð''' || s '''z''' || || ʃ || || || || || |- |affricate || || || || || || tʃ || || || || || || |- |trill || || || || '''r''' || || || || || || || |- |tap || || || || '''ɾ''' || || || || || || || |- |approximant || || || || '''l''' '''ɹ''' || '''j''' || || '''w''' || || || || h |- |nasal || '''m''' || || || '''n''' || || || || '''ŋ''' || || || || || || || || || |} *As a general rule, voiced consonant stops never occur in the middle of words. ====Per Latin alphabet==== B - {{IPA|[b]}} '''b'''ite <br> C - {{IPA|[tʃ]}} '''ch'''eat<br> D - {{IPA|[d]}} '''d'''en<br> Ð - {{IPA|[ð]}} '''th'''en<br> F - {{IPA|[f]}} '''f'''ire<br> G - {{IPA|[g]}} '''g'''ut<br> H - {{IPA|[h]}} '''h'''arm<br> J - {{IPA|[j]}} '''y'''our<br> K - {{IPA|[k]}} '''c'''ast<br> L - {{IPA|[l]}} '''l'''ie<br> M - {{IPA|[m]}} '''m'''ine<br> N - {{IPA|[n]}} '''n'''o<br> P - {{IPA|[p]}} '''p'''it<br> R - {{IPA|[r]}} "trilled" R, '''''r'''atón'' (Spanish) <br> S - {{IPA|[s]}} '''s'''ay<br> Š - {{IPA|[ʃ]}} '''sh'''ine<br> T - {{IPA|[t]}} '''t'''en<br> V - {{IPA|[ɸ]}} (no English equivalent, see below) <br> W - {{IPA|[w]}} '''w'''eek<br> Z - {{IPA|[z]}} '''z'''oo<br> Ž - {{IPA|[ts]}} ma'''ts'''<br> Þ - {{IPA|[θ]}} '''th'''in<br> Dd - {{IPA|[d]}} as in la'''dd'''er, a'''dd'''<br> Ng - {{IPA|[ŋ]}} lo'''ng'''<br> Wr - {{IPA|[ɺ]}} '''r'''ock ====The letter V==== The sound of the letter has no equivalent in the English language. In most dialects, it is somewhat similar to the voiceless labiodental fricative (f), but it is made without touching your top teeth to your bottom lip, and with a smaller opening between the lips. If need be, [f] is an acceptable substitute, and "V" is in fact pronounced this way in several dialects. ==Further transliteration== The Napkožæc alphabet can be further transiletarated using the most basic Latin characters, without diacritics: * â - Aa, aa *Æ æ - Ae, ae *Ê ê - Ii, ii *Ô ô - Uu, uu; sometimes omitted altogether *C c - Ch, ch; tch *Ð ð - Th, th *Š š - Sh, sh *Ž ž - Tz, tz *Þ þ - Th, th Sometimes ''wr'' is simply changed to ''r''. ==Dialects== ==Lexicon== ''Main article: [[Napkožæc lexicon]]'' [[category:Conlangs]] Napkožæc lexicon 3928 34911 2008-08-05T00:19:19Z DiZ 616 '''This list is incomplete.''' ---- ''See [[Napkožæc]].''

It includes habitual actions and statements of fact: * ''The building is collapsing''. * ''She lives in France''. * ''I visit my brother every Tuesday''. ---- ===='''The present progressive'''==== This is the ''ing'' form of the verb used with a present tense form of the verb ''to be''. It can have several functions in English: '''a''' to describe an action that is going on at this moment: * ''She’s talking too loudly!'' * ''Ask that man what he’s selling.'' * ''He is driving too fast!'' * ''They are expecting him here at any moment.'' '''b''' to describe an action that is going on during this period of time or a trend: * ''Are you still working for the same company?'' * ''More and more people are becoming vegetarian.'' '''c''' to describe an action in the future that has already been planned or prepared: * ''We’re going on holiday next week.'' * ''I’m meeting my boyfriend tonight.'' * ''Are they visiting you next winter?'' '''d''' to describe a temporary event or situation: * ''He usually plays the drums, but he's playing bass guitar tonight.'' * ''The weather forecast was good, but it's raining at the moment.'' '''e''' with ''always, forever, constantly'', to describe and emphasize a continuing series of repeated action: * ''Stacey and Brian are always arguing!'' * ''You're forever complaining about your mother-in-law!'' The dal'qörian present progressive tense is used to denote 'only' the action that is happening now, as in example '''a''' and most times in examples '''b''' and '''d''' above: * '''Mæ evédria den vös!''' ''He is driving too fast!'' * '''Binä quascria diöra ni qualtédrämös!''' ''I am asking you a question!'' * '''Jöna grætölária Palö.''' ''John is congratulating Paul.'' * '''Yil yil! stæabetár diöra giÞvetária!''' ''Oh do stop exaggerating!'' * '''Diö, máriÞ di méÞril sä ädavonas, brát ábæÞria, yil?''' ''Are you still working for the same company as before?'' * '''DanöÞ brát mériÞ nörasáb,, taÞ vädenária stæmöjátsiel.''' ''There are more and more people becoming vegetarian.'' The Dalcurian present progressive is only used to denote the future if the event will happen on the same day: * '''IádaninÞi, binä tirigöria di qömerinöj qve binöra.''' ''I'm meeting my boyfriend tonight'' '''C''' see ''Future tense'' '''E''' is rendered by the infinitive: * '''Stäsé ön Brián sævála vecsár!''' ''Stacey and Brian are always arguing!'' (lit: ''Stacey and Brian always argue!'') * '''Diö sævála rödnqonvelistr di siaparenöj-vála qve diöra.''' ''You're always/forever complaining about your mother-in-law.'' (lit: ''You, about your mother-in-law, always complain.'') ---- ===='''The present perfect tense'''==== In English, the present perfect is formed with the auxiliaries ''have/has'' and the past participle. Its use in dal'qörian is much the same and is used for: ː Verbs of state that begin in the past and lead up to and include the present. (usually with for or since)<br/>ː To express habitual or continuous action.<br/>ː Events occurring at an un-defined or unspecified time in the past, with ever, never, already, yet or before: * '''Rödn vélas yérasel, mæ gä’ábrahabitr dérÞ.''' ''He has lived here for many years.'' * '''Rödn 20 yérasel, ména, andri séÞa nörasabödä, gä’ábra-acäödr.''' ''We have taught at this school for 20 years.'' * '''Binä gä’ábraqömárax,, sintra binä gä’descöbr,, taÞ di abödä qve binöra perösendos!''' ''I haven’t slept since I found out the house is haunted!'' * '''Dörac di vétä qve mæöra, mæ gä’ábragliár visániöestáj.''' ''He has worn glasses all his life''. ('glasses' is singular in dal’qörian and can mean 'a pair of glasses') * '''Iádas, sia, dörac séÞa qömblas, máriÞ di sabaj, gä’ábramösár, levaltr.''' ''She has had to catch the bus every day this week.'' * '''Dörac iáda, binä gä’ábra nis ecörämös di sentániäj.''' ''I have had a headache all day.'' When used with ''ever, never, already, yet, before'' and ''just'', then these must go 'after' the past participle. However, with the form ''ever + before'', then 'before' immediately 'follows' ever: (ever is rendered by the intensifier '''esti''', see '''Intensifiers''') * '''Nabödn, te binä, gä’ábraságr esti vonéri taÞ!''' ''Nobody has ever said that to me before!'' * '''Döqu sä séÞa, te ména, gä’ábradaƒödr esti.''' ''Nothing like this has ever happened to us.'' * '''Éren gä’ábravisör néavára ni plampäj.''' ''They have never seen a hippo.'' * '''Sia gä’ábrastæabetár aléaræÞ di ábæabödäj qve siöra, yil?''' ''Has she finished her homework already?'' * '''Binä gä’ábrabesöcérax nø di 'Tate Gallery'.''' ''I haven’t visited the Tate Gallery yet.'' * '''Sonar diöra! Binä gä’ábralétr aléaræÞ tredimä!''' ''Hurry up! Ive told you three times already!'' * '''Binä, te mæ, gä’ábraqonvetár jenö.''' ''I have just spoken to him.'' '''Have/has been''' The form ''have/has been'' is rendered in one of three ways. When referring to places such as ''countries, cities, friends houses'' etc, in the sense of 'having been/never been', the verb '''besöcér'''-''visit'' is used: * '''Binä gä’ábrabesöcér néavára Japéna.''' ''I have never been to Japan.'' * '''Mæ gä’ábrabesöcér néavára di abödä qve binöra.''' ''He has never been to my house.'' And idiomatically in sentences such as: * '''Diö gä’ábrabesöcér nø abödä, néƒaracte?''' ''Haven't you been home yet?'' When talking about ''performances, concerts, shows'' or anything connected with performing arts, the verbs '''visör'''-''to see'' and '''ansör'''-''to'' watch are preferred: * '''Di beröj qve binöra gä’ábravisör esti ni peƒerödn.''' ''My brother has never been to a concert''. (lit: ''has never seen''). * '''Iáda voninÞi, ména, andri animatáj, gä’ansör ni mosödrämös.''' ''We’ve been to the cinema tonight''. (lit: ''This evening, we, at the cinema, have watched a film''). When ''have/has been'' refers to the 'whereabouts' (in an existential sense with ''since/for'') or the 'state' of someone/something, and the action is still on going, the present indicative tense is used with the preposition '''sintra'''-''since'': * '''Sintra hec qömblasel, ména dérÞ'''. ''We have been here for six weeks'' (and still are.) (lit: ''Since six weeks, we are here''). * '''TiÞ morgér,, taÞ, sintra etirimiÞ, ména talehasria, néƒaracte?''' ''It seems like we’ve been on holiday for ages, doesn’t it''? (lit: ''It seems that, since a long time, we are on holiday, doesn’t it?'') * '''Sintra ni Þömn äda, danöÞ ni veclérÞ darø lemasträmös, öcra di öløsimáj, qamöria.''' ''There has been a really bad smell coming from the cellar for over a month''. (lit: ''Since a month ago, there is a really bad smell, from the cellar, coming''). To ask about the whereabouts of someone, or to answer in the affirmative, the verb '''Þalár'''-''to reside'' is used: * '''Dorac iáda, væl? gä’ábraÞalár diö.''' ''Where have you been all day?'' (lit: ''All day, where have resided you?'') * '''Binä, andri léjänabödä, gä’ábraÞalár.''' ''I have been at the hospital''. (lit: ''I, at the hospital, have resided.'') ---- ===='''The present perfect continuous'''==== In English, there are basically two uses for the present perfect continuous tense. (There is usually a connection with the ''present'' or ''now''): '''A'''. An action that has just stopped or recently stopped: * ''I'm tired'' (now) ''because '''I've been running'''''. * ''Why is the grass wet?'' (now) '''''Has it been raining'''''? * ''She has been out running along the canal.'' * ''You don't understand'' (now) '''''because you haven't been listening'''''. '''B'''. An action continuing up to now (usually used with ''for'' or ''since''): * ''I have been reading for 2 hours''. (I am still reading now.) * ''We've been studying since 9 o'clock''. (We're still studying now.) * ''We have been waiting over an hour for a bus!'' (still waiting) The examples in '''A''' are rendered using the Dalcurian ''simple past'' with, for the most part, the adverb '''jenö'''-''just'': * '''Binä tädø,, qösra binä jenö gä'vaÞr'''. lit: ''I'm tired, because I just ran.'' * '''Várö? di rasenj nahasrädn. TiÞ jenö gä'danpör, yil?.''' ''Why is the grass wet? It just rained, yes?.'' * '''Sia, enga di geböædénij, jenö gä’vaÞr.''' ''She, alongside the canal, just ran.'' * '''Diö vestéörax,, qösra diö jenö gä'alhörax.''' ''You didn't understand because you just listened not''. (''just'' in this example indicates that this has just happened). The examples in '''B''' would normally be rendered in the present tense: * '''Sintra 2 stöndæel äda, binä quádria.''' lit: ''Since 2 hours ago, I am reading.'' * '''Sintra 9, ména stödæéria.''' lit: ''Since 9, we are studying.'' * '''Sintra on stöndæ äda, ména, öcra ni sabaj, vögéria!''' lit: ''Since an hour ago, we are, for a bus, waiting!'' However, if the event has just finished, then the sentence goes into the present perfect tense: * '''Sintra 2 stöndæel äda, binä gä'ábraquádr.''' lit: '' Since 2 hours ago, I have read.'' (but I've just finished) * '''Sintra 9, ména gä'ábrastödæér.''' lit: ''Since 9 we have studied''. (but we've just stopped) * '''Sintra on stöndæ äda, ména, öcra séÞa sabaj, gä'ábravögér!''' lit: ''Since an hour ago, we, for this bus, have waited.'' (the bus has just arrived) ---- ==='''The Past Tense'''=== There are 2 forms of the past tense in Dalcurian: ''simple past, perfect'' or ''pluperfect past''. ====''Simple past''==== The Dalcurian simple past is formed with the prefix '''gä’''' to the front of the infinitive: * '''gör'''-''go'' '''gä’gör'''-''went'' * '''andöcr'''-''give'' '''gä’andöcr'''-''gave'' * '''pilƒör'''-''steal'' '''gä’pilƒör'''-''stole'' * '''Ädiáda, mæ, te binä, gä’andöcr ni gistäj'''. ''He gave me a present yesterday''. * '''Sia gä’voltir quascr mæöra eÞöa'''. ''She wanted to ask him something''. * '''Sia, te sia, gä’Þonábr disiri tagéÞrädnas'''. ''She gestured very seductively to her.'' The dal'qörian simple past is used in much the same way as in English. However, one of its main uses in Dalcurian is to render the English ''past continuous tense'' (the past tense of the verb ''to be-was/were'' and the present participle of a main verb; see '''Past continuous'''). ---- ====''Perfect/Pluperfect Past''==== This tense states an action that began in the past and ended before another began (usually followed by before or when). This is formed with the auxiliary verb ''had'' in English, which is '''ádra'' in Dalcurian and formed in the same way as the Present Perfect: * '''jedár'''-''adjust'' '''gä’ádrajedár'''-''had adjusted'' * '''täsplétr'''-''burst'' '''gä’ádratäsplétr'''-''had burst'' * '''Binä, öcra di danpörämös stæabetár, gä’ádravögér,, vonéri binä näocr gadörajvalcr'''. ''I had to wait for the rain to stop before I could walk the dog''. * '''Mæ gä’ádragörør jenö,, vömä diö gä’téádr'''. ''He had just gone out when you rang.'' Notice how, in English, the auxiliary and main verb can separate; this can’t happen in dal'qörian. ---- ====''The Continuous Past''==== Again, in English, this tense has multiple uses: ː To describe the background in a story written in the past tense:<br/> * ''The sun '''was shining''' and the birds '''were singing''' as the elephant came out of the jungle''. ː To describe an unfinished action that was interrupted by another event (usually followed by when or until):<br/> * ''I '''was having''' a great dream when/until the dog barked''. ː To describe an action that happened over a period of time:<br/> * ''They '''were climbing''' for twenty seven days before they reached the summit''. ː With 'wonder', to make a very polite request:<br/> * ''I '''was wondering''' if you could baby-sit for me tonight?'' ː To express a change of mind:<br/> * ''I '''was going''' to spend the day at the beach but I decided to go on an excursion instead''. With the exception of the last 2 examples above, Dalcurian uses its simple past to render this tense. If the action was unfinished or interrupted, the subordinate clause is introduced by '''lintöni'''-''until''. Where 'before' is used in the English sentence, again, Dalcurian uses '''lintöni''': * '''Di Siárij gä’ømár,, ön di vögäl gä’löigár,, sä di majentáj, gä’ömøqamör di jonglæ'''. ''The sun was shining and the birds were singing as the elephant came out of the jungle''. lit: ''The sun '''shone''' and the birds '''sang''' as the elephant came out of the jungle''. * '''Binä gä’æanémr éagöra,, lintöni di gadöraj gä’vaƒr'''. ''I was having a great dream when/until the dog barked''. lit: ''I '''dreamed''' well until the dog barked''. * '''Rödn senal’dionta iádel, éren gä’qlimbér,, lintöni éren gä’öraqur di viténiÞ'''. ''They were climbing for twenty seven days before they reached the summit''. lit: ''For 27 days, they '''climbed''' until they reached the summit''. To express a change of mind or plan/intention, the verb '''septér'''-''intend'' is used in the simple past: * '''Binä, andri öbri, dörac di áda, gä’septér gör,, brát binä, máriÞ ni töribesöcérämös, gä’edécödr gör tisdæd.''' ''I was going to spend the day at the beach but I decided to go on an excursion instead. lit: ''I, at the beach, throughout the day, intended to go but I, with an excursion, decided to go instead''. * '''Ména, am Strománi, gä’septér vehær,, brát ména nöra gä’ábra, lintöni Tødröna, lobéstr'''. ''We were planning on a summer wedding but we’ve had to put it off until October now''. lit: ''We, in the summer, intended to marry but we now have had to, until October, postpone''. With 'wonder', a special verb is used. The verb is formed with the appropriate reflexive personal pronoun attached to the end of the word '''qualtéa'''. (This is quite an idiomatic word; '''qualtéa''' roughly translates as ''a thought'' or ''goal'' that may be difficult to reach): * '''Qualtéabinöria méla diöra neldrquas te binä di vötöj qve diöra¿''' ''I was wondering if you would lend me your car?'' lit: ''I am wondering if you would lend to me your car?'' * '''Qualtéaménöria,, öbæ tev’araciev, diö iquirquas, máriÞ ménöra, amøcamör¿''' ''We were wondering whether you'd like to come out with us later?'' lit: ''We were wondering whether later, you would like, with us, to come out?''

The language uses SVO word order in most cases but OSV is sometimes used to highlight the object in literature and poetry. Since the empire's fall, the language has had no native speakers, but is used as a diplomatic and general-purpose interlanguage in the region, similar to Latin in our world. =Script= The alphabet consists of six vowels and 20 consonants, for a total of 26 letters, which are listed below. Hh - Hatc* /ħ, x/ Mm - Mē /m/ Nn - Nē /n/ Ŋŋ - Ŋē /ŋ/ Ee - E /&epsilon;/ Bb - Be /b/ Ēē - Ē /e/ Vv - Va /&beta;/ Pp - Pa /p/ Gg - Gi /g/ Ff - Fi /&phi;/ Tt - To /t/ Oo - O /o/ Dd - Do /d/ Kk - Ka /k/ Rr - Ra* /r/ Aa - A /a/ (/æ/ before m, n, or ŋ) Ww - Wa /w, ɰ/ Ss - Sa /s/ Zz - Zē /z/ Ii - I /i/ Cc - Ci /ʃ/ Jj - Ji /ʒ/ Ðð - Þa* /ð, &theta;/ Uu - U /ɔ/ Yy - Yog /j/ *Hatc is also sometimes written ''ħ'' or ''x'' *Þa is written as ''þ'' when it represents /&theta;/. *Ra is written as ''l'' when it means a lateralized (/l/ or /ɫ/) sound. =Grammar= ==Morphology== ===Nouns=== ====Case==== Ðanmarc is an accusative language and thus has two cases: nominative (used when the noun is the subject of a transitive or intransitive verb) and accusative (used when the noun is the object of a transitive verb). Words are in the nominative by default and become accusative in the following ways: :*Words ending in vowels: The vowel is mutated one down on the hierarchy below (u becomes i) and a final lateralized r (actually, an l) is added. :::ieēaou :*Words ending in consonants (unlike the inflections below, this includes ''r'' and ''w''): The consonant is "softened" as per the below chart. Letter h ŋ n m t p k d b g f s r z v w c j y ð Becomes ŋ n m b d b g z v ŋ v z w r w w j y w j ====Plurals==== In Ðanmarc, plural nouns are formed by adding the following suffixes in the nominative case: :*-s for words ending in vowels or ''r'' :*-as for words ending in other consonants And these in the accusative case: :*-n for words ending in vowels or ''r'' :*-an for words ending in other consonants ====Possessives==== Possessive nouns, too, are formed by adding suffixes: :*-c is used for words ending in vowels or ''r'' (hence Ðanmarc <- Ðanmar). :*-ac is used for words ending in other consonants. :*-j is used on plural words ending in vowels or ''r''. (The plural suffix is dropped.) :*-aj is used on plural words ending in other consonants. *In cases of possession, only the possessed object inflects for case. ===Verbs=== ====Tense==== Ðanmarc verbs have a variety of tenses. The most basic are the present, past, and future; the inflections for these are given below. :*-d forms the past tense of verbs ending in vowels and ''r''. :*-ad forms the past tense of verbs ending in other consonants. :*-s forms the present tense of Type A verbs (those ending in vowels and ''r''). :*-as forms the present of type B verbs, which end in consonants other than ''r''. :*-k is added to type A verbs to form their future tense. :*-ek is added to form the future tense of a type B verb. More complicated tenses employed in the Ðanmarc language include participles, gerunds, and infinitives; the basic uses of these are outlined below. In case you, like me, are not very familiar with complex and nonfinite verb tenses, a ''gerund'' is a verb used as a noun (''Swimming'' is fun), a ''participle'' is one used as an adjective (The ''falling'' snow blinded him), and an ''infinitive'' can be used as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs (''To run'' a mile is difficult; I have a book ''to read''; She practiced ''to become'' better). :*-(i)ð is used to form past participles. :*-(i)z is used to form present participles.* :*-(i)c is used to form future participles. :*-(a)g is used to form gerunds. :*-(ē)r is used to form infinitives. *There is a difference between the pronunciation of present and present participle forms of type A verbs in Ðanmarc. In English (think ''tears'') we pronounce a final ''s'' voiced, like a ''z''. This is not true in Ðanmarc. If it helps, think of the Ðanmarc final ''-s'' as an English final ''-ce''. Other tenses include perfect, imperfect and progressive tenses. These are a little tougher to grasp than those above, but English speakers use them every day. In grammar, ''perfect'' has a different meaning than its usual one. To say that an action is "perfect" means that the action is completed. For example, consider English examples: ''I lived'' is an imperfect past tense, while ''I have lived'' is a perfect one. ''I have come'' is perfect; ''I'm coming'' is not. Progressive tenses are imperfect by definition; they show that an action is going on. In Ðanmarc, verbs are in a basic (not progressive) imperfect by default. :*-(o)t forms the past perfect tense. :*-(a)ŋ forms the past progressive tense. :*-(a)p forms the present perfect tense. :*-(a)m forms the present progressive tense. :*-(a)g forms the future perfect tense.* :*-(a)n forms the future progressive tense. *Note: The ''a'' in this suffix is prononced /æ/, an exception to the usual rule. ====Mood and Aspect==== Ðanmarc has a fairly complex system of mood, including indicative, subjunctive, imperative, and negative moods. Verbs are by default in the indicative mood, meaning that they are real and certain, but this can also have a strengthened form, equivalent roughly to the English construction "I am sure that...". The subjunctive mood indicates that the verb is uncertain or desired. It, too, has a differing form to show that the speaker does not know that something happened [but speculates that it did]. The imperative mood, used to command, also has a more polite form. The negative mood does not have an alternate form, but is indicated by an auxiliary verb, ''te'', and so can be used in combination with other moods. ''Te'' must agree with the verb it modifies in tense, but not mood. Other moods are indicated by prefixes: :*k(@*)- indicates the strengthened indicative mood. :*g(@)- indicates the subjunctive mood. :*ŋ(@)- indicates the second subjunctive mood mentioned above. :*r(@)- indicates the imperative mood. *Note: The ''@'' indicates a variable vowel (it is '''not''' an X-SAMPA schwa). This vowel is ''e'' if the verb is part of a secondary clause in the sentence, and ''a'' if it is in the main clause. When the speaker is being especially polite, ''e'' is replaced by ''ē'' and ''a'' by ''o''. All of these vowels, except ''a'', are present at the word's beginning when the verb is in the simple indicative mood or begins with a vowel. In that case, the ''o'' is accented to become ''ó'', which indicates a deviation from the standard penultimate-stress rule in Ðanmarc, and the ''ē'' is accented to become ''ê''. ===Adjectives and adverbs=== ====Adjective agreement==== Adjectives in Ðanmarc must agree with the noun they modify in number. This is accomplished in the same way as with the nouns, by modifying the coda of the final syllable. To see how to do this, look at the [[Ðanmarc#Plurals|''Plurals'' section of ''Nouns'']]. ====Adverb agreement==== This section does not really need to be here, as adverbs do not need to agree with the verbs they modify unless they are in secondary clauses, in which case the adverb takes the suffix ''-o''. ==Derivation== ===Negation=== In Ðanmarc, two prefixes are used to negate a word. The prefix ''ók(a)-'', roughly equivalent to English ''anti-'' is used mainly on verbs, when an action of doing the opposite (not just refraining from doing the action) is meant. The auxiliary ''te'' is used when the subject is merely not doing the action (as opposed to doing its opposite, implied by ''ók(a)-''). The second prefix, ''íŋē-'', is used to negate a noun or adjective (''happy'' vs. '''''un'''happy'').

The Empire was formed when a king of what was then the [[Kingdom of Ðanmar]] named himself Emperor shortly after his conquest of neighboring [[Yaþín]]. Eventually, [[Yaþinn|Yaþinn language]] and culture became almost seamlessly integrated into the Imperial mainstream. (In fact, today the Yaþinn language is known only from early Ðanmarc grammars.) Over a period of several centuries, Ðanmar grew to cover much of the southwestern quarter of the continent, bordered only by the [[Northern Kingdoms]], the [[Aasti tribes]] and the only major civilized nation it never managed to conquer, [[Sonyēl]]. The Empire's capital was the city known as Ðanmar. Other notable localities within the empire include Yaþín, often used as a geographical region, and the [[Great Forest]], a huge deciduous forest near the center of the empire. This was spanned by many paths in the heyday of the Empire, but in later times they fell into disuse and became overgrown.

It was formed when [[Raanol I|Raanol Bughdi]] of the [[Seven Tribes of Sonyēl#Bughdi|Bughdi]] tribe united the [[Seven Tribes of Sonyēl]] under one monarchy in [[Ðanmari Era|ÐE]] -652. His successors established Sonyēl as a prominent military power, able to withstand even the power of the [[Ðanmar Empire]]. Centuries later, after the fall of the Empire, Sonyēlē King [[Agamen]] married the queen of the [[Aasti]] kingdom that bordered Sonyēl to the north. The resultant unified nation is known as [[Budenor]], one of the youngest nations in all of [[Aarð]]. Due to this fact, citizens of the [[Budenor#The North|northern region]] still speak the Aasti-influenced [[Abzari]] language, while southerners speak [[Sonyēlē]].

The planet is 13072 km (approximately 8124 US miles or 2442.81 [[Aarði measurement|great leagues]]) in diameter. Aarð, whose name comes from an [[Aasti]] word meaning Earth, is the second planet from its parent star, a main sequence class G9 with a mass of 0.8501 solar masses. It is technically a binary planet, orbited by a body known as [[Tiró]] that is .97 times its mass. A smaller moon known as [[Cetí]] orbits around both bodies (technically, the barycenter). The Aarð-Tiró system shares its sun with several other planets, including [[Luariaþ]], a small, hot rocky planet thats orbits closer to the sun than Aarð does; [[Odonor]], and several more distant planets. [[Þeal]], a small continent on the lower right of the map, is the most highly developed part of Aarð. Other landmasses seen on the map include [[Ornoþ]] (upper left), [[Samir]] (top center), [[Goriað]] (upper right), [[Zuniaar]] (lower left), [[Niraþ]] (west of Þeal), and the islands of [[Saiïc|Saiyic]] (east of Þeal), Soktareŋ (west of Goriað), Astaraþ and Cion (between Ornoþ and Zuniaar), and the Þanit archipelago (far left of map).

Additionally, collateral damage as a result of the coup in Iran was not considered. Furthermore the extermination of East Timorese was considered unnewsworthy.

It is a fluid-S language, and uses SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) word order, meaning that the normal form of the sentence ''He saw her'' would be rendered as *''He her saw''. ==Script== For our purposes, Âsti will be written using the Latin alphabet. (Note: Because the (mostly illeterate) speakers of the language live in a world where the Latin alphabet does not exist, in the rare cases that Âsti ''is'' written down by a native speaker, an adaptation of the common [[Ðanmarc Alphabet]] is used.) The general rules of pronunciation follow: *'''''a, e , i, o, u''''' -- Pronounced as in Spanish or IPA, respectively like ''taco'', ''play'' (Canadian), ''beet'', ''row'' (GA), and ''beet''. *'''''â''''' -- Pronounced as in RP* ''bother'' (/ɒ/). In some dialects this vowel has unrounded to (/ɑ/), a sound similar to that (/ɑ/) found in RP* ''father'' . *'''''b''''' -- Pronounced as in English ''boat'', except before the vowels ''i'' or ''e'', where it is pronounced like the ''v'' in ''very'' unless doubled (see '''h'''). *'''''c''''' -- As in ''cat'' or ''car'', except for before ''i'' or ''e'' (where most "soft" c's are found in English), where it is said like the ''sh'' in ''shout''. However a ''cce'' or ''cci'' retains the ''k''-like pronunciation. For the pronunciation of ''ch'', see '''h'''. *'''''d''''' -- As in ''dock'' or ''day'', except before ''i'' or ''e'', where it is pronounced like the ''th'' in ''that'' (not that in ''thin'') unless doubled (See '''h'''). *'''''g''''' -- As in ''game'' or ''goal'', except when singly before ''i'' or ''e'' (where most "soft" English g's are found), where its pronunciation changes to a sound like French ''j'' or the ''s'' in ''vision''. *'''''h''''' -- Never on its own, Âsti ''h'' is found only in consonant clusters (i.e., following b, c, d, g, p, or t). In those cases, the cluster is pronounced like the ''soft'' form of the initial consonant (/v/ for b, /ʃ/ for c, /ð/ for d, /ʒ/ for g, /f/ for p, or /θ/ for t). *'''''l, m, n, r, s, z''''' -- Same as English. Note that ''r'' is pronounced in all positions (as /ɹ/) *'''''p''''' -- As in ''part'' or ''play'' except singly when followed by an ''i'', ''e'', or ''h'', when it is said like the ''ph'' in ''phonetics'' or ''telephone'' (see '''h'''). *'''''t''''' -- As in ''tired'' or ''try'' except singly when followed by an ''i'', ''e'', or ''h'', when it is pronounced like the ''th'' in ''thrift'' or ''thin'' (but not that in ''that'' or ''the''). *'''''x''''' -- Pronounced as English single ''h'' or Spanish ''j'' (Sometimes an x, like that in México, is pronounced this way). *'''''f, j, k, q, v, w,''''' and '''''y''''' are not used. Note to speakers of American English: RP stands for Received Pronunciation, sometimes called "High British" or "Queen's English". I don't think I can explain about the Father-bother and Caught-cot mergers here, so if you can't find some other resource to explain this to you, try pronouncing ''a'' /æ/ as in ''cat'' and ''â'' /ɑ/ as in ''bother''. Since /æ/ and /ɑ/ are not phonemic in Âsti and close to the actual pronunciations, the ''(fictitious)'' native speakers would probably perceive only a foreign accent. ==Grammar== ===Nouns=== *Plural nouns are usually formed by adding ''i'' to the end of a noun ending in a consonant or replacing the final vowel with ''i'' (change word-final diphthongs with ''i'' as the first letter to í). The major exception to this is that many words ending in ''o'' form their plurals in ''-or'' (For example ''uoreddio'', meaning ''horse'' or ''stallion'', becomes ''uoreddior''). *The feminine forms of nouns are usually formed in ''-a'', except for those ending in ''o'', which are formed by changing the ''o'' to an ''i'' (''uoreddí'' mare). *In addition the distinction mentioned above between masculine and feminine forms of some nouns, Âsti has five grammatical "genders", none of which have anything to do with physical gender. Gender I is a highly respectful form of address. The only nouns always in gender I are gods. Gender II includes all humans, male and female, whereas gender III includes animals and "semi-animate" objects, such as fire and running water. Gender IV includes all inanimate objects except those in gender III. All plural nouns, no matter what gender the singular form is in, have no gender. Nouns do not conjugate for gender, but verbs, articles and adjectives do. *Nouns in genders I, II, and III are in the agentive by default, with the suffix ''-(u)ne'' forming the patientive, used as the object of transitive verbs and the subject of intransitive verbs when the action is considered involuntary. Gender IV nouns, on the other hand, are considered patientive by default, and can only take stative verbs (see [[Aasti#Adjectives|Adjectives]]). *The ablative case, used when a noun is the object of a preposition, is formed with the suffix ''-(e)mn''. *The suffix ''-z'' forms the genitive (adjective) forms of nouns ending in vowels, while ''-i'' does the same for those ending in consonants. ===Verbs=== :Verb conjugations in Âsti may be the language's most complex feature. The table below gives a simplified form of the conjugations. The initial vowel of the conjugation is extremely variable, due to the fact that most Âsti verbs already end in vowels, and the resulting diphthongs may or may not be allowable. In addition, if the original verb is monosyllabic, conjugations for imperfective tenses change. Instead of adding an accent to the final vowel of the perfective form, an ''r'' is added to the end of the word. {| ! || Past Perfect || Past Imperfect || Present Perfect || Present Imperfect || Future Perfect || Future Imperfect |- | 1s (s) || -em || -el || -iâ || -uâ || -am || -ame |- | 1p || -mie || -lue || -(l)ie || -(l)ue || -(l)it || -(l)ite |- | 2s.I (gg) || -ea || -era || -ggis || -ggim || -er || -ere |- | 2s.II (gg) || -en || -er || -is || -im || -ar || -are |- | 2p || -ne || -re || -(o)lí || -(o)lím || -(i)d || -(i)de |- | 3s.I || -sa || -san || -rai || -mei || -(e)s || -(e)se |- | 3s.II (n) || -a || -al || -ai || -ei || -as || -ase |- | 3s.III (t) || -o || -ul || -ui || -oi || -os || -ose |- | 3s.IV z-eu || -e || -il || -z || -âz || -uz || -uze |- | 3s.IV (i)tt-e || (i)-en || (e)-en || (i)-e || (e)-e || (i)-ia || (e)-ia |- | 3p (tt) || -i || -iu || -am || -em || -igh || -ige |- | 3p (i)tt-e || (e)-i || (e)-iu || (e)-iam || (e)-em || (e)-igh || (e)-ige |} ===Adjectives and adverbs=== ===Pronouns=== ====First Person==== '''Singular''' *Nominative: '''geâ''' *Accusative: '''ceân''' *Dative: '''ceâmn''' *Genitive: '''geâxt''' '''Plural''' *Nominative: '''dzia''' *Accusative: '''tsin''' *Dative: '''tsimn''' *Genitive: '''dzixt''' ====Second Person==== '''Singular''' *Nominative: '''ttiia''' *Accusative: '''tiian''' *Dative: '''tiiamn''' *Genitive: '''tiiaxt''' '''Plural''' *Nominative: '''uenna''' *Accusative: '''uen''' *Dative: '''uemn''' *Genitive: '''uext''' ====Third Person==== '''Singular''' *Gender I :*Nominative: '''aicia''' :*Accusative: '''aician''' :*Dative: '''aimn''' :*Genitive: '''aicht''' *Gender II :*Nominative: '''iebe''' :*Accusative: '''iebhne''' :*Dative: '''iemn''' :*Genitive: '''iext''' *Gender III :*Nominative: '''dixa''' :*Accusative: '''dixan''' :*Dative: '''dimn''' :*Genitive: '''dixt''' *Gender IV :*Nominative: '''dhe''' :*Accusative: '''dha''' :*Dative: '''dhan''' :*Genitive: '''dhaxt''' '''Plural''' *Nominative: '''iol''' *Accusative: '''ioln''' *Dative: '''ione''' *Genitive: '''ioext''' =See Also= *[http://www.langmaker.com/db/Aasti Aasti] at [http://www.langmaker.com/db/Main_Page Langmaker] *The lexicon [[Aasti/Lexicon|here]] [[Category:Aarð]] [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Þēo-Niraþi Languages]] Template:Iftest 3958 22209 2007-06-07T11:55:45Z Melroch 31 <div {{ #if: {{{i|}}} | | {{ #if: {{{I|}}} | | {{ #if: {{{e|}}} | | {{ #if: {{{E|}}} | | {{ #if: {{{&|}}} | | {{ #if: {{{a|}}} | | style="display: none;" }} }} }} }} }} }}> foo </div> Template:Switchtest 3960 22206 2007-06-07T11:11:16Z Melroch 31 {{ #switch: {{#expr: {{{1|}}} > 0 }} | 1 = true | false }} Template:Voweltable 3964 22221 2007-06-07T12:42:24Z Melroch 31 Redirecting to [[Template:Full voweltable]] #REDIRECT [[Template:Full voweltable]] Tholb 3965 22223 2007-06-07T15:36:22Z JonMoore 90 [[Tholb]] moved to [[Þolb]]: propper spelling #REDIRECT [[Þolb]] Þolb vocabulary 3966 23173 2007-07-09T18:58:38Z JonMoore 90 /* D */ << [[Þolb]] __NOTOC__ ==Þolb-English== {| id="toc" | '''Table of contents''' |- | [[#A|A]] [[#Â|Â]] [[#B|B]] [[#D|D]] [[#Ð|Ð]] [[#E|E]] [[#G|G]] [[#H|H]] [[#I|I]] [[#K|K]] [[#L|L]] [[#M|M]] [[#N|N]] [[#O|O]] [[#P|P]] [[#R|R]] [[#T|T]] [[#Þ|Þ]] [[#U|U]] [[#Û|Û]] [[#W|W]] [[#Y|Y]] |- |[[#English-Þolb|English-Þolb]] |} ===A=== ===Â=== ===B=== *balþ - toe *balþt - girl *balþramp - food *barþt - order, to put in ordert *bramp - to go *brent - to be about something; r brent - about *brentkadr - to describe *bulm - sun *bûþt - island ===D=== *dimp - to say *dlelt - ''adj, adv'' almost, nearly, soon *dolm - ''v intr'' to end, to be over *drent - cow *dreþk - ''adj'' correct, right; r dreþk - ''adv'' correctly, rightly *dolm - ''v intr'' to end, to be over ===Ð=== *ðâpþt - word *ðâpþthempt - verb *ðâpþtpontek - noun *ðaþt - legs, (pair of) *ðilm - eyes, (pair of) *ðolþt - mountain *ðrând - to give *ðrilm - teeth, (set of) ===E=== ===G=== *gelm - snow *gelþ - to walk *golmp - ''adj'' big, grand; r golmp - ''adv'' grandly *grûmp - inside, interior ===H=== *halb - man *Hâmerik - America *helþ - health, helþm - healthy *hempt - action, to act *Hepþ - Europe *het!

Word-initially and -finally, /p t k/ are realised [b̪ʰ d̪ʰ g̪ʰ], whilst /d g/ are realised as [d̪ g̪]. Word internally, /d g/ are realised as fully voiced, but /p t k/ remain lax aspirated stops. When adjacent to a voiceless fricative the voiceless series loses its aspiration. The affricate /ts/ is always realised as [d̪z̪]. When adjacent to a voiced consonant, all stops are realised as fully voiced. -The dental fricative /θ/ is generally realised as interdental. -/s z/ are generally realised as apical [s̠ z̠]. -Intervocalically, /d g/ may weaken to [ð ɣ]. -The low vowel /a/ is generally realised somewhere inbetween cardinal [a] and [ɑ]. -In closed syllables, there is a tendency for /ɛ ɔ/ to be realised closer to [æ ɒ]. /i 1/ may also lower to [ɪ ɘ] in the same situation. -The general realisation of /o/ is somewhat raised, closer to [ʊ]. When word-final it raises to [u]. -Word finally, /ɛ ɔ/ raise to [e o]. '''''Phonotactics''''' Berag syllables follow a basic structure of (C){r y)V(C), with the following restictions: -Clusters of labial consonants + /j/ do not occur. -Clusters of stop + nasal do not occur. If they would due to morphology, they undergo metathesis to nasal + stop. Clusters of */sn/ become /nz/. -In the coda positions, only /m n t d k gr T s x/ may occur. ---- == '''Morphology''' == Berag marks verbs for tense and valancy. There are no case or number markings on nouns. Berag predominantly uses prefixes. The citation form of a verb is the active present, e.g. '''kara''' ''speak'', '''ban''' ''see, look at'', '''taes''' ''bite''. The past is formed by suffixing '''-he''' to the stem. This has the allomorph -'''e''' after a consonant, with the caveat that coda /m n/ become /ŋ/: '''karahe''', '''baŋe''' '''taese''' The future is formed by suffixing '''-nen''' to the stem, -'''den''' if the stem ends in a nasal: '''karanen''', '''banden''', '''taenzen'''. The habitual is formed by suffixing -'''as''' if the stem ends in a consonant, and -'''r''' if it does not: '''karar''', '''banas''', '''taesas'''. The antipassive is formed by a prefix, '''shou'''-. Verbs are negated with the particles '''di'', placed before the verb and '''mei''', placed after the direct object. '''Pronouns''' Berag pronouns are marked for nominative and oblique cases: ---NOM---OBL 1PS-na---nem 2PS-ath---ande 3PS(A)-o---omo 4PS(A)-tra---trem 1PP-sen---sen 2PP-adi---adem 3PP(A)-ao---aom 4PP(A)-trana---tranam Where (A) stands for animate. The inanimate 3rd and 4th person pronouns are not marked for case. ---ABS 3PS(I)-ta 4PS(I)-ri 3PP(I)-tao 4PP(I)-ren *''Other than this, there will be a fair bit of derivational morphology, I just haven't worked it out yet'' ---- == '''Syntax''' == Berag divides words into two major groups: Lexical Words and Grammatical Words. Berag grammarians call these "bases" and "particles". Bases are further subdivided into verbs and nouns. Particles are divided into Nominal, Verbal, and Phrasal particles. '''θ-roles in Berag''' Berag is a split-ergative/dative language. Common nouns and inanimate pronouns display Ergative-Absolutive alignment, where the absolutive covers the subject of an intransitive verb and the patient of a transitive one, whilst the ergative covers the agent of a transtive verb. The Ergative argument is marked with the preposition '''e'''. Animate pronouns are Nominative-Accusative, where the subject of an intransitive verb and the agent of a transitive verb are marked as Nominative, and the patient of an intransitive verb is accusative. All participants in a Berag sentence have Dative alignment, e.g. the theme of a ditransitive verb is marked as the dative, with the preposition '''krei''' '''Tense Usage''' The Present, Past, and Future tenses are more properly the Hodiernal, pre-Hodiernal, and post-Hodiernal tenses. That is, they refer to events that happened today, before today, and after today, respectively (today defined as the time between two sunrises), regardless of whether the action takes place before, during, or after an utterance. The "habitual" tense refers to a trans-hodiernal timeframe, i.e. over yesterday and today, or today and tommorow, or all three. '''The definate article''' The definate article in Berag is '''a''', '''ad''' if the following word begins in a vowel. There are many contractions with it: e + a -> '''ya''' si + a -> '''sha''' '''Basic Word Order''' The basic word order in a Berag clause is Verb-Absolutive.argument-(Oblique.argument)(Ergative.argument): '''alad a pous''' open.PRES DEF door The door opens '''alad a pous ya dun''' open.PRES DEF door ERG.DEF man the man opens the door '''Topic Fronting''' In theory, any argument can be fronted, however in practice the most commonly fronted arguments are oblique: '''alade a pous se ki indraihe ki regahe tra o ya dun''' open.PAST DEF door at SUB hear.PAST SUB scream.PAST 4PP 3PP ERG.DEF man The man opened the door when he heard him(OBV) scream '''se ki indraihe ki regahe tra o, alade a pous ya dun''' at SUB hear.PAST SUB shout.PAST 3PS 1PS, open-PAST DEF door 1PS I opened the door''When I heard them scream'' Heathenism (Finla AU) 3968 22345 2007-06-10T21:37:18Z Paul.w.bennett 301 The Finlara Heathenist system is essentially the Wide Path Heathenism system, reframed in some ways to absorb the notions of the local Hraling belief systems. =Primary Gods= * '''Jetūr''' - Chaos, Bad luck, Natural disasters, Dangerous weather, Disease, Ice, Stars * '''Ǫðn''' - Knowledge, Writing, Magic, Animals, Hunting, War, Sky, Sun, Libido * '''Ffríȝ''' - Wisdom, Memory, Healing, Plants, Farming, Art, Earth, Moon, Fertility Father Ǫðn and Mother Ffríȝ are allied together against Jetūr, but have lesser contrasts and oppositions between them.

It is a strongly head-initial, largely agglutinating ergative language. == Phonology == ===Phoneme Inventory=== {| border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | |'''Labial''' |'''Dental''' |'''Alveolar''' |'''Palatal''' |'''Velar''' |'''Glottal''' |- |'''Plosive/Affricate''' |'''b''' /p/ '''p''' /pʰ/ |'''d''' /t/ '''t''' /tʰ/ | | |'''g''' /k/ '''k''' /kʰ/ |- |'''Fricative''' | |'''th''' /θ/ |'''s''' /s/ |'''hy''' /ç/ | |'''h''' /h/ |- |'''Nasal''' |'''m''' /m/ | |'''n''' /n/ |'''ny''' /ɲ/ |'''ŋ''' /ŋ/ | |- |'''Liquid''' | | |'''r''' /ɾ/ '''l''' /l/ |'''y''' /j/ |'''w''' /w/ | |} '''Vowels''' <table><tr><td>'''i''' /i/ '''ī''' /i:/ </td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>'''u''' /u/ '''ū''' /u:/</td></tr> <tr><td>'''e''' /ɛ/ '''ē''' /e:/ </td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>'''o''' /ɒ/ '''ō'''/o:/</td></tr> <tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>'''a''' /ɐ/ '''ā''' /ɐ:/</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></table> Sarim also has the dipthongs '''ai au ei eu oi ou''' /ai au ei eu oi ou/, all falling. ===Syllable Structure=== Sarim has a (C)(C)V(C) syllable structure. Onset clusters are made up of one of /p t k pʰ tʰ kʰ θ s h/ + /r/. Only /p t k m n θ s h l/ can occur in coda position. Note that word-internally coda /θ/ merges with /s/. Note that long vowels do not occur in long syllables. ===Allophony=== - /n/ assimilates to the point of articulation of any following consonant, e.g. /np/ [mp]. Note that /m ŋ/ do not assimilate to the same point of articulation as the following consonant. (Note that /ŋ/ is written as '''n''' before a velar consonant, since ambiguity is not an issue). - Coda stops are realised as unreleased. - /k kʰ/ may be realised as [ʧ ʧʰ] before front vowels. - /h/ often strengthens to [x] between vowels. - /r/ is realised as a tap [ɾ] word-initially and in onset clusters, and as an approximant [ɻ] between vowels. - Unstressed short /i ɐ u/ are realised as [ɪ ə ʊ]. ===Stress and Prosody=== Sarim is a mora-timed language: syllables take up a certain amount of time based on their nucleus. Open syllables with a short vowel take up one mora; closed syllables with a short vowel, and open syllables with a long vowel or diphthong, take up two morae, whilst closed syllables with a diphthong take up three morae. Stress falls on the syllable containing the antepenultimate mora, or leftmost mora in words with less than three morae. == Nominal Morphology == Sarim nouns are marked for Absolutive and Oblique cases, as well as singular and plural number. The unmarked form of the noun is the absolutive singular: '''yad''' - man, '''kare''' - sorghum '''ari''' - town, '''nasu''' - child, '''sau''' - dog, '''prasnā''' - number. ===The Plural=== The plural is marked with '''-ma''': '''yadma, arima, nasuma, sauma, prasnā'''. The oblique plural is marked irregularly by '''-mē'''. Plural marking is mandatory with animate nouns; with inanimate nouns marking plurality is option, and inanimate nouns are never marked as plural if followed by a number or an adjective marking number such as '''hou''' - many. ===Absolutive Case=== The absolutive case is the unmarked form of the noun. The absolutive marks the subject of an intransitive verb and the patient of a transitive verb. It is also used with certain prepositions, as noted in the syntax section. ===Oblique Case=== The underlying marker of the Oblique case is *'''-i''', which manifests itself in several ways: - After a monosyllabic word ending in a vowel, and after long vowels, it is marked with -yi: '''sauyi''' - dog-OBL; '''prasnāyi''' - number-OBL. - Nouns ending in short '''a, e''' or '''o''' lose the final vowel and add -i: '''kari''' - sorghum-OBL - Nouns ending in a consonant add -i: '''yadi''' - man-OBL - Final -u and -i become -ī: '''arī''' - man-OBL;; '''nasī''' child-OBL The oblique is used with the majority of Sarim's prepositions. Its other main use is to mark the agent of transitive verbs in most circumstances. However, in the follow circumstances the agent of a transitive verb is marked as absolutive, primarily: - If the agent is indefinite: '''kithīne sau arimē''' ''see-IMPF-TRANS DOG-0 MAN-PLUR-OBL'' 'the men saw the dog', but: '''kithīne sau arima''' ''see-IMPF-TRANS DOG-0 MAN-PLUR'' '(some) men saw the dog'. - If the agent is nullar in number: '''makithīne sau ari mau''' ''NEG-see-IMPF-TRANS dog-0 man-0 NEG'' 'no men saw the dog'. - If the agent is significantly more animate than the patient: '''ramnagin kare ari''' ''harvest-PERF-TRANS sorghum-0 man-0'' 'the man harvested the sorghum', but '''nawēne hrath arī''' ''love-IMPF-TRANS woman-0 man-ERG'' 'the man loves the woman'. ===Possession Marking=== Sarim has a range of possessive suffixes, from previously cliticised pronouns. Vowels in brackets are used if the clitics follow a consonants, whilst the third person possessive marker has three allomorphs: it lengthens final short vowels, is '''-a''' after consonants, and '''-ya''' after long vowels and dipthongs. Long vowels before '''-n''' and '''-th''' become short. {| | | Singular || Plural |- ||1st Person || '''-(e)n''' ||'''-(e)ngo |- ||2nd Person ||'''-(e)th''' ||'''-(e)sgo''' |- ||3rd Person ||'''-(y)a/:''' ||'''-(y)a/:''' |} The possessive suffixes follow case and plural marking: '''hrathen''' 'my wife' '''nasumango''' 'our children' '''karē''' 'his sorghum' '''ti saumeth''' 'from your dogs (OBL)' ==Verbal Morphology== The citation form of Sarim verbs is the root, which may end in a vowel, a consonant, or a permissible medial cluster: '''kithi-''' 'look at, see'; '''edn-''' 'go'; '''aut-''' 'eat', '''mo-''' 'break'. ===The Infinitive=== The infinitive is the only non-finite form a Sarim verb has. The infinitive always ends in '''-ni''', and has three allomorphs: -After a monosyllabic root ending in a vowel, -'''yini''': '''moyini''' - to break. - After a consonant, '''-ini''': '''autini''' - to eat; '''ednini''' - to go. - After a vowel, '''-ni''': '''kithini''' - to look at, to see. ===Voice=== As well as the unmarked active voice, Sarim has antipassive and a reflexive voices marked on the verb. Voice marking always immediately follows the verb stem. - The '''antipassive''' is marked by '''-ū'''', which displaces any stem-final short vowel. Monosyllabic stems ending in a vowel and stems ending in diphthongs or long vowels have '''-yū''' instead: '''kithū-''' 'see something', '''ednū-''' - make someone go, '''autū-''' 'eat something, '''moyū''' 'break something'. - The '''reflexive''' is marked by '''-(a)s-''', with an epenthetic '''-a-''' only occuring if the stem ends in a cluster or a consonant that does not occur in coda position: '''kithis-''' 'see oneself', '''ednas-''' 'go', '''autas-''' 'eat oneself', '''mos-''' 'break oneself'. Because verbs marked for a voice other than active can take the infinitive too (e.g. '''kithūni''' - to see something), it has been argued that voice is really more of a feature of derivational morphology. ===Aspect=== Sarim verbs are marked for three aspects: perfective, imperfective, and habitual. - The imperfective is marked by '''-a'''. Stem final short vowels are lengthened, and the imperfective is zero-marked after stems ending in a long vowel or diphthong: '''kithī''' 'it is seen'; '''edna''' 'it goes'; '''auta''' 'it is eaten'; '''mō''' 'it breaks'. - The perfective is marked by '''-(i)gi''': '''kithigi''' 'it was looked at'; '''ednigi''' 'it went'; '''autigi''' 'all of it is eaten'; '''mogi''' 'it broke completely'. - The habitual User talk:- andrew 3980 24396 2007-08-08T10:06:40Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 ==Sysop== For fighting spam I have given you the 'sysop' power, so that you may block as well as revert. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 03:45, 11 June 2007 (PDT) ==Interesting language== I just noticed that Zelandish is derived from Old English having read several words in your lexicon that sound similar to their counterparts in my conlang [[Piscean language|Piscean]], which is derived from Old English and Modern German.

Talossan was originally a mish-mash of English, French, and whatever other languages Madison was interested in at the time. Over the years, Talossan came to be based mainly on Occitan and Rhaeto-Romance languages, with substantial borrowings from English, other Romance languages, Berber languages, Native American languages, and Celtic languages. Several other individuals have participated in the development of the language, and most new words are derived from Sardinian, Sicilian, or Rhaeto-Romance. Today, Talossan has a fully-developed grammar, a vocabulary of nearly 30,000 words, and a small body of literature spanning more than two decades. The Kingdom of Talossa's [http://www.kingdomoftalossa.net/index.cgi?lingo=&page=Glhetg Talossan language page] features a searchable dictionary and English>Talossan word translator, a pronunciation guide, lists of common affixes, and samples of Talossan literature.

Proto-Karyanic was spoken about four thousand years ago, probably in the central highlands of Yandras. Major modern Karyanic languages are Sarim, Qeth, and Khādho. ==Phonology== Karyanic is reconstructed as having four series of plosives (aspirated voiceless, plain voiceless, plained voiced, and voiced aspirated) at labial, alveolar, velar and uvular points of articulation, with no reconstructable ɢ ɢʰ. Each point of articulation apart from uvular had a voiced nasal stop. There are also two reconstruced fricatives */s h/, and three approximants */w j ɥ/, as well as the rhotic /r/.

They look like generated by a filtered script or something. This would generate a lot of confusion if the language ever gets used. Specifically, my biggest pet peeves are roots that contrast w and W but otherwise sound the same (e.g. paw and paW). Such distinction would get lost in the noise rather quickly. Also, be careful with how it would end after roots get conjugation/declension/affixes.

The words of Cantate derive from [[European languages]] and of course its own derived vocabulary. Many of the different sounds depend on acent marks and other types of symbols that affect the base letter. For example, "e" by its self is spoken like the e in see. However when its is "ē" then it is spoken like the e in met. Many similar changes exist in the Cantate language. Some of these letter patterns also come from [[Russian]], for example a "p" is pronounced as a r rather than a p sound which we would expect in [[English]]. This engineered language was made to experiment the different elements of linguistic study. All of the work was doen by the creator, Movses A. Musaelian. Even though this language is in its early stages, it is hoped that it will grow into a more substantial language. The purpose of Cantate, is to present an artifical language in which components of more languages are put in and unlike [[Esperanto]] and many other similar engineered languages where many European like components are factored in, Cantate brings in a different building block on which it is structured. Research was strictly done by the creator himself who based Canatate on a number of languages including, Russian, Latin, Italian, Spanish, Armenian, and Slavic elements. He used some of the elements of other articial languages too like [[Esperanto]]. ==Here is the alphabet== *A-as in the a in "lap" *Ā-as in the a in "lay" *P-as in the r in "rose" *Đ-as in the p in "poor" *B-as in the b in "back" *C-as in the k in "kick" *Ç-pronounced "ts" *Є-as in the s in "say" *E-as in the e in "see" *Ē-as in the e in "met" *Ī-as in the i in "like" *Ĩ-as in the i in "Nick" *F-as in the f in "fond" *Ŵ-as in the sh in "show" *N-as in the n in "next" *T-as in the t in "take" *V-as in the v in "verdict" *Ҹ-pronounced "xh" in the back of the through like the Scottish "loch" *X-as in the h in "hole" *M-as in the m in "mouse" *Ť-pronounced "dz" *D-as in the d in "door" *O-as in the o in "mow" *Ō-as in the o in "moon" *J-pronounced as "ye" *G-as in the g in "goat" *Ģ-as in the j in "judge" *Ĵ-as in a strong j sound with the tounge pulled back *L-as in the L in "lost" *Ž-as in the z in "zeal" ==Simple Grammer== (Fāєĩlĩcōє Gpāmāticōє) ===Singular and Plural Verbs=== Here is an example: ''cpāєēnt'' meaning to climb, can be made plural by adding the ''-āt'' prefix therefore if a group is climbing then it would be ''cpāєēntāt''. ===Personal Pronouns=== I~jn you~vo he~on she~ān it~ĩn we~noє you(pl./formal)~voє they~ŵont <br> Essential Verbs <br> am~ōє is~ōєē are~ōєēє ===Some Phrases=== ;'''Hello''': ''đoєtoҹ'' (postoxh) ;'''How are you''': ''¿Ťađo ōєēє vo'' (dsado uses vo?) ;'''Good''': ''nāє'' (nas) ;'''Great''': ''nāєeç'' (nasEEts) ;'''I am good''': ''jn ōє nāє'' (yen OOs nas) ;'''bad''': ''gālōє'' (galOOs) ;'''I like''': ''jn ĵāmāє'' (yen zjamas) ;'''Do you speak Cantate''': ''¿lēє vo gēç Āntātē'' (les vo ges antate?) ;'''Please''': ''đāpēҹ'' (parexh) ;'''Thank You''': ''єālvāç'' (salvats) ;'''What is your name''': ''¿cāc ōєē vod nōmēž'' (cac ose vod nomez) ;'''My name is John''': ''māž nōmēž ōєē Ģōxn'' (maz nomez ose Gohn) ;'''Goodbye''': ''lāŵōç'' (lashots) ;'''Good Morning''':''bonŵoє ōtpo'' (bonshos OOtro) ;;'''Good Evening''':''bonŵoє noҹ'' (bonshos noxh) ;'''The boy is nice and strong''':''tēlē mācōє ōєē ťenō ēє fōҹāŵātĩє '' (tele makos ose dseno es foxhashatis) ===The Lords Prayer=== <poem> ''Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in Heaven.

From Galhaf, it currently has an apparent magnitude of -21.6 (almost 1% the brightness of the sun). At the suns' closest approach, it has a magnitude of -21.8, and at its furthest, -21.1. Chimíve's apparent size in the sky as seen from Galhafis about 12', around a third the size of the sun. The two suns orbit each other with an average separation of 167,460,000,000 km, and an eccentricity of .156 and an orbital period of 25,872 Earth years. {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="bordertable" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |&nbsp; |'''Chihazh''' |'''Chimíve''' |- |Spectral Type |G7V |G0III |- |Mass |1.79260 × 10<sup>30</sup> kg<br>0.90129 M<sub>☉</sub> |2.37576 × 10<sup>30</sup> kg<br>1.1945 M<sub>☉</sub> |- |Diameter |1,318,745 km |560,000,000 km |- |Luminosity |.63 L<sub>☉</sub> |9,500 L<sub>☉</sub> |- |Temperature |5,240 K | |- |Age |colspan=2|5.3 billion years |} == See Also == *[[Planets of Chihazh]] *[[Planets of Chimíve]] *[[Galhafan Astronomy]] [[Category:Suns|Galhaf]] [[Category:Galhaf]] File:Ðanmarc Script.png 4010 22701 2007-07-02T19:22:04Z Navidel 620 A self-made sketch of the name Ðanmarc in its own script.

Help:Special character insertion 4023 49211 2009-09-17T07:30:33Z Melroch 31 /* A word of warning */ In the FrathWiki page editing view there is a section beneath the main edit box called '''Special character insertion''' which looks something like this: [[Image:Charinsert screenshot.png|frame|center]] __TOC__ == Special character insertion area contents == From top to bottom: ; The character insertion scroll box : This scroll box contains several sections each consisting of [[Wikipedia:Unicode|Unicode]] characters from a certain script or category of characters: :; IPA :: Recognised IPA characters as listed on [http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-unicode.htm John Wells' site]. The combining characters are shown with a ◌ which has to be deleted. :; Latin :: These are the characters of the Latin script as understood by Unicode. It probably differs from your idea of 'the Latin Alphabet' in terms of the size and nature of what it includes. ''Inter alia'' all IPA letters are contained in the Unicode Latin script. :; Greek :: The Greek alphabet plus punctuation and symbols peculiar to Greek. Also some symbols used in pre-classical Greek and in non-Greek languages which used to be written in the Greek alphabet. :; Cyrillic :: Cyrillic script for Slavic languages and several other languages of the former Soviet Union. :; Diacritics :: Common diacritics, shown in a larger font size so as to be easier to identify. The combining characters are shown with a ◌ which has to be deleted. Those most crucial to phonetic transcription are repeated in the IPA section. :; Punctuation :: Several punctuation characters not found on an ordinary keyboard. :; Invisible characters :: Some characters that are helpful for improving display but are not themselves shown as mark on the screen or paper. They are inserted as [[Wikipedia:List of XML and HTML character entity references#Character entities in HTML|HTML entities]] so that one can locate them in the edit box. :To insert one of the listed characters in the main edit box all you need to do is to place the insertion point (the blinking wertical bar <code style="text-decoration: blink;"> | </code>) where you want to insert the character, then click on that character in the scroll box, and the character will appear at the insertion point. ;The script links : Links you can use to quickly get to the various sections in the scroll box.

You are therefore henceforth advised to insert <tt>&amp;#034F;</tt> in your &lt;charinsert&gt; templates and pages wherever you want to force precomposed characters of '''i''' and a diacritic above not to be decomposed when combined with a diacritic below, e.g.<tt>í&amp;#034F;̨</tt> to get '''í͏̨''' rather than '''į́'''. However it also turns out that using the entity <tt>&amp;#034F;</tt> rather than the actual character doesn't render correctly either, which makes insertion with &lt; charinsert&gt; a bit tricky, since this is an invisible zero-width character! I created [[:Template:CGJ]] to help with this. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] }} The [[Wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] engine will 'normalize' a [[wikipedia:Precomposed character|precomposed]] '''i''' with a superscript diacritic and a [[wikipedia:Combining character|combining]] subscript diacritic into a dotted '''i''' precomposed with a subscript diacritic and a combining superscript diacritic, which of course means that with most fonts you get the dot of the '''i''' disturbing the superscript diacritic! The behaviour is not an error of MediaWiki, but the usual Unicode normalisation, considered correct. If you get bad results, then either your browser or your font is broken, not MediaWiki. So some would recommend ''not'' to hack-fix a broken behaviour of a browser or font, but instead to use a working browser or font, or if that is out of the question (for whatever reason), live with a distorted display, and/or inform the maintainers of the browser or font of not being Unicode compliant. Others think that computers should adapt to humans and not the other way around, want as correct display as possible ''now'', and won't sit around until someone fixes the problem if they can fake it now. "Sometimes you can't make it, The best you can do is to fake it"! {{ref|U2}} Here is the hack-fix if you dare to use it: put a [[wikipedia:zero-width joiner|zero-width joiner]] character <code>&amp;zwj;</code> between the precomposed i with a superscript diacritic and the combining subscript diacritic, writing e.g. <code>ī&amp;zwj;̨</code> &mdash; i.e. <code>&amp;#x012B;&amp;zwj;&amp;#x0328;</code> &mdash; to get the right thing. Unfortunately you can't directly insert <code>&amp;zwj;</code> with Charinsert, so rather than writing <code><nowiki><charinsert>ī&amp;zwj;̨</charinsert></nowiki></code> you must write <code><nowiki><charinsert>ī&amp;amp;zwj;̨</charinsert></nowiki></code> or there will be no ZWJ at all, neither as an invisible character or as HTML. Life '''is''' hard sometimes! {{frown}} This is certainly an abuse of the ZWJ, but it works to get what we want, so let's have no qualms about it! {{smiley}} ;Note : I guess it would be at least quasi-compliant to use the '''[[wikipedia:Combining grapheme joiner|Combining grapheme joiner]]''' character <code>&amp;#x034F;</code>, which at least currently produces the right result, instead of <code>&amp;zwj;</code>. It can only be entered as a numeric entity, however (or as an actual invisible character!), and I guess I'm not the only one who has trouble remembering numeric entities...

It was previously home to the Empire of [[Ðanmar Empire|Ðanmar]]; the kingdoms of [[Yaþín]], [[Sonyēl]], [[Tlazca]], [[Arþon]], [[Gadón]], and [[Abzar]]; the [[Xolcti League]]; and the culture often called [[Avarra]].

It refers to a period of time between ÐE -437 and ÐE 0, when the kingdoms of [[Yaþín]], [[Kingdom of Ðanmar|Ðanmar]], [[Tlazca]] and [[Sonyēl]] were at their peaks. The [[Xolcti League]] was also active during this period, until it was formally dissolved in ÐE -108, a hundred years after the [[Last Dynasty of Avarra]] came to power in the south. ==Classical Period== In this period of Aarði history, [[Ðanmar Empire|Ðanmar]] rose to power, conquering Yaþín in ÐE 0 and Avarra in ÐE 39. The [[Turan Tribes]] arrived largely unnoticed from the west around ÐE 230. The Northern States had been in disarray ever since the Xolcti League was dissolved in -108, and remained so until just before the fall of Ðanmar in 622, which marked the end of the Classical Period. ==Dark Age== The name ''Dark Age'' for the period between ÐE 622 and 1438 is somewhat of a misnomer. It was coined by Turan historians, who viewed their nation as the only truly civilized one around. Many of the peoples of Budenor, Doria, and the Northern States view this as a positive period in history. Aasti Tribesfolk from the East overran the former Ðanmar empire during this period (about ÐE 630-700), founding the kingdoms of [[Arþon]], [[Gadón]], [[Doria]] and [[Abzar]]. Politics in the North became somewhat more stable with the return of some of the old alliances (i.e. Ašti-Tlazca, Xolctilán-Hari, and Chiyangza-Ploktí). The period ended with the rise of Turan Qañ Talii I. ==Modern Times== User:Melroch/charinsert 4027 49215 2009-09-17T08:06:35Z Melroch 31 '''[[Rhodrese]] and [[Burgendish]]''': <charinsert> Çç ſ ſſ ſs ß </charinsert> '''[[Vínlenzka]]''': <charinsert> Ƕ ƕ Ꜧ ꜧ </charinsert> '''[[NASS]]''': <charinsert>{{EI}} {{ei}}</charinsert> '''Knoschke:''' <charinsert>Ő ő Ű ű a̋ A̋ e̋ E̋ I̋ ı̋ A ̋ E˝ I˝ Ą ą {{CGJ|Á|̨}} {{CGJ|á|̨}} {{CGJ|a̋|̨}} {{CGJ|A̋|̨}} Ę ę É {{CGJ|é|̨}} {{CGJ|e̋|̨}} {{CGJ|E̋|̨}} Į į {{CGJ|Í|̨}} {{CGJ|í|̨}} {{CGJ|I̋|̨}} {{CGJ|ı̋|̨}} Ǫ ǫ {{CGJ|Ó|̨}} {{CGJ|ó|̨}} Ų ų {{CGJ|Ú|̨}} {{CGJ|ú|̨}} Č č Ľ ľ Ł ł Ň ň Š š Ž ž</charinsert> '''Romance:''' <charinsert>{{SC|+}} Ā {{CGJ|Ā|̣}} {{CGJ|Ā|̨}} ā {{CGJ|ā|̣}} {{CGJ|ā|̨}} Ă {{CGJ|Ă|̣}} {{CGJ|Ă|̨}} ă {{CGJ|ă|̣}} {{CGJ|ă|̨}} Ē {{CGJ|Ē|̣}} {{CGJ|Ē|̨}} ē {{CGJ|ē|̣}} {{CGJ|ē|̨}} Ĕ {{CGJ|Ĕ|̣}} {{CGJ|Ĕ|̨}} ĕ {{CGJ|ĕ|̣}} {{CGJ|ĕ|̨}} Ī {{CGJ|Ī|̣}} {{CGJ|Ī|̨}} ī {{CGJ|ī|̣}} {{CGJ|ī|̨}} Ĭ {{CGJ|Ĭ|̣}} {{CGJ|Ĭ|̨}} ĭ {{CGJ|ĭ|̣}} {{CGJ|ĭ|̨}} Ō {{CGJ|Ō|̣}} {{CGJ|Ō|̨}} ō {{CGJ|ō|̣}} {{CGJ|ō|̨}} Ŏ {{CGJ|Ŏ|̣}} {{CGJ|Ŏ|̨}} ŏ {{CGJ|ŏ|̣}} {{CGJ|ŏ|̨}} Ū {{CGJ|Ū|̣}} {{CGJ|Ū|̨}} ū {{CGJ|ū|̣}} {{CGJ|ū|̨}} Ŭ {{CGJ|Ŭ|̣}} {{CGJ|Ŭ|̨}} ŭ {{CGJ|ŭ|̣}} {{CGJ|ŭ|̨}} Ȳ {{CGJ|Ȳ|̣}} {{CGJ|Ȳ|̨}} ȳ {{CGJ|ȳ|̣}} {{CGJ|ȳ|̨}} Y̆ {{CGJ|Y̆|̣}} {{CGJ|Y̆|̨}} y̆ {{CGJ|y̆|̣}} {{CGJ|y̆|̨}}</charinsert> <charinsert>[[Category:Kijeb]] [[Category:Sohlob]] [[Category:Main_Page_in_other_languages]]</charinsert> <charinsert><code><!nowiki>+</!nowiki></code> <pre><!nowiki>+</!nowiki></pre> <includeonly>+</includeonly> <noinclude>+</noinclude></charinsert> Knoshke 4030 22838 2007-07-06T11:57:13Z Melroch 31 [[Knoshke]] moved to [[Knoschke]]: I like the German spelling better.

"Kelanian speech") was the original language spoken by all people. It was how the first men interpreted the speech of the ''Kélanui'' (sg. ''Kélanū''), or "holy ones," who shaped the earth, govern its existance, and guided men in their earliest days. In truth, the actual speech of the Kelanui is more complex than Kelanian, with each Kelanu having his or her own slightly different version, but the two were close enough to be mutually intelligible. == Phonology == === Consonants === Kelanian contains 21 consonantal phonemes. The majority, 13, of these are stops. It has labial, dental and velar aspirated and unaspirated stops, both voiced and unvoiced, as well as the glottal stop '''q''' /?/, as in "uh-oh". There is only 1 fricative, '''s''' /s/. The remaining 7 are sonorants. It has three nasals, '''m''' /m/, '''n''' /n/, and '''ñ''' /N/. Each nasal is inherently linked to a certain group of stops- '''m''' with the labials, '''n''' with the dentals, and '''ñ''' with the velars. There are two liquids, '''l''' /l/ and '''r''' /r/, and two semivowels '''w''' /w/ and '''y''' /j/. {| border=1 | |Labial |Dental |Palatal |Velar |Glottal |- |Stops, unaspirated |align=center|'''p''' '''b''' |align=center|'''t''' '''d''' | |align=center|'''k''' '''g''' |align=center|'''q''' |- |Stops, aspirated |align=center|'''ph''' '''bh''' |align=center|'''th''' '''dh''' | |align=center|'''kh''' '''gh''' | |- |Fricatives | |align=center|'''s''' | | | |- |Nasals |align=center|'''m''' |align=center|'''n''' | |align=center|'''ñ''' | |- |Liquids | |align=center|'''l''' '''r''' | | | |- |Semivowels |align=center|'''w''' | |align=center|'''y''' | | |} ==== Allophony ==== '''r''' is realized as [4] (an alveolar flap) when not initial or geminated. Before or after voiced stops, '''s''' is realized as [z]. === Vowels === There are 5 vowels, '''a''', '''e''', '''i''', '''o''', and '''u''', which can all be short or long. Long vowels are written with a macron, '''ā''', '''ē''', '''ī''', '''ō''', '''ū'''. The two mid vowels, '''e''' and '''o''', are tense when they are long, /e: o:/ and lax when they are short /E O/. {| border=1 | |Front |Central |Back |- |Close |align=center|'''i''' | |align=center|'''u''' |- |Mid |align=center|'''e''' | |align=center|'''o''' |- |Open | |align=center|'''a''' | |} There are also 8 diphthongs, essentially treated as long vowels. They are formed when '''i''' follows '''a''', '''e''', '''o''', or '''u''' and when '''u''' follows '''a''', '''e''', '''o''', or '''i'''. The first element becomes long (the macron isn't written), and the second becomes a semivowel, '''ai ei oi ui au eu ou iu''' are /a:j e:j o:j u:j a:w e:w o:w i:w/. === Phonotactics === Consonants and consonant clusters are always viewed as syllable onsets. There may only be a coda on a final syllable. Word initial or medial syllables are of the form (C)(C)(w,y)V, though there are very strict rules for what clusters can be formed (see below). Final syllables are of the form (C)(C)(w,y)V(sonorant, fricative). Only a vowel or diphthong is required to form a syllable. ==== Consonant Clusters ==== There are rules for what consonant combinations form permissable clusters. All of the clusters formed by the following rules may be medial, but not all may be initial. The ones that can are marked so. Note: '''q''' is a stop, but cannot be used to make clusters. All of the rules that refer to "stops" do not apply to '''q'''. Liquids can precede nasals and stops. Anything but stops can be geminated. '''s''' can precede or follow stops. (can be initial) Stops can follow their matching nasals. (can be initial) The semivowels '''w''' and '''y''' can follow a consonant or cluster. (allowed initial clusters followed by '''w''' and '''y''' are also allowed initially) === Accent === In Kelanian, the accent is always found on the word's root vowel. For words that have two or more syllables after the root vowel, every second vowel from the root vowel gets a secondary accent. Words that don't have analysable roots, e.g. pronouns, prepositions, &c., are always three or less syllables, and are accented on the first. The addition of derivational prefixes and suffixes, like the comparative or superlative, do not move the stress to earlier or later in the word; it is completely fixed. A long accented vowel is written with a circumflex, a short accented vowel with an acute. A secondary accent is written with a grave. === Elision === If one word ends with a vowel and the next begins with one, the first vowel is dropped in speech if it is short. If the first vowel is long and the second vowel is short and unaccented, the second one is dropped. If both are long, neither is dropped. There is one notable instance when elision doesn't occur—the formation of verbs. This lack of elision is emphasized in writing by using a hyphen, e.g. '''tséraye-éni'''. In this case, the first vowel simply flows into the second. == Morphology == === Word Derivation === ==== Primitive Root Structure ==== The roots of Kelanian are of the structure (C)(C)(w,y)VCV. The initial cluster may only be one of the clusters outlined above as permissible initially. Other than this, there is only one rule concerning the consonants in a root: there must be one between the vowels. There are two vowels in every root. The second is called the "determining vowel" of the root, because it determines what the first vowel, the "root vowel," will be. (It is not very common for two roots to differ only by the determining vowel.) If the determining vowel is '''e''' or '''i''', the root vowel is '''e'''. If it is '''o''' or '''u''', the root vowel is '''o''', and if the determining vowel is '''a''', in the majority of cases the root vowel will be '''e''', though it may be '''o''' if the initial consonant cluster contains a '''w'''. The root vowel, as mentioned above, is the vowel that is accented in all words derived from a certain root. ==== Lexeme Formation ==== Lexeme derivation from primitive roots is accomplished through the addition of suffixes, though sometimes the root vowel is also lengthened. The suffixes are of the form (C)(C)V, though few suffixes consist of just a vowel. For example, by using the suffix '''-nū''', the root '''ETA''' gives '''étanū''' ''man/person''. When nouns are derived, the form produced is the absolutive singular. When modifiers are derived, the form produced is the imperfective active. ==== Word Formation ==== Lexemes themselves are words, though there are a variety of words that can be derived from them, as well as many inflections that can be added. To derive totally new words from lexemes, the final vowel is dropped and suffixes are added. These suffixes are of the form (V)VC(V). For example, '''étanū''' gives '''étanothē''', ''a host of men'' by dropping the final vowel and adding the suffix '''-othē'''. The various inflections that can be added onto a lexeme or a new derived word include suffixes and prefixes of many different forms. They are clearly marked throughout the rest of this article. ---- === Nouns === Nouns are split into ''5 declensions'' and are marked for ''3 numbers'' and ''8 cases''. ==== Declensions ==== Nouns fall into three main categories: animate nouns, a small group of abstract nouns, and inanimate nouns. Animate nouns include people, animals, and anything else that was seen as having a will of its own. This includes some things that, to us, are inanimate, but were perceived as being conscious, such as the sun and the moon. The reason for this is mythological. The abstract class of nouns is not found in anything but the singular, since they are intangible concepts and cannot logically be pluralized. The class of inanimate nouns consists of anything non-living (besides abstract nouns). Since they are not seen as having a will of their own, the inanimate nouns are not found in the nominative case, which shows intent and thoughtful purpose. Some inanimate nouns, the so-called "mass nouns," (e.g. water, knowledge, information, &c.) can also not be pluralized. Based on these distinctions, nouns are split into 5 declensions, each with its own characteristic vowel. The 1st ('''u''' declension) and 2nd ('''o''' declension) include the animates, the 3rd ('''a''' declension) and 4th ('''e''' declension) the inanimates, and the 5th ('''i''' declension) is for the abstracts. For proper nouns, these distinctions are not maintained-names may fall into any declension. ==== Number ==== Kelanian nouns are marked for three numbers: ''singular, paucal and plural''. Singular refers to a single object. Paucal refers to a small, usually countable, number of something. For certain nouns (e.g. ears, eyes, hands, &c.) it refers to exactly two of something (dual). The paucal is formed by adding the prefix '''e-''' to the singular form of the noun. Plural refers to a large, usually uncountable, number of something. It is formed by adding the suffix '''-i''' after the stem, before the case ending. When a specific number of something is referenced, the adjectival number is applied to the singular form. ==== Cases ==== Kelanian nouns are marked for 8 cases: ''nominative (agentive), absolutive (patientive), ergative, dative, genitive, comitative, locative/temporal, and essive.'' Cases mark the semantic function of a noun only. Syntactic functions are indicated by other means. (see ''Syntax'') The '''nominative''' marks the agent of an active verb when it is the subject or the willing experiencer of an eventive verb. Inanimate nouns cannot have a will and, therefore, cannot be in the nominative. The '''absolutive''' marks the patient of an active verb or the unwilling experiencer of an eventive verb. The '''ergative''' marks the agent of an active verb when it is not the subject. In these cases, the absolutive patient is the subject. It is the only case that inanimate nouns can take to be an agent. When a nominative noun is also present, the ergative functions as an instrumental case. It cannot be used as the subject of an intransitive verb. The '''dative''' marks the indirect object of verbs of giving or transferring. It also marks alienable possessions or qualities, purpose, or something/someone with a vested interest in the action (benefactive). It can also have an allative meaning. The '''genitive''' marks the literal or figurative source of something, and inalienable possessions or qualities (as opposed to the dative). It can also have an ablative meaning. The '''comitative''' marks the company an action or event is done with. The '''locative/temporal''' marks the location or time at which an action was done or a state was experienced. With prepositions it marks a referential location or time. The '''essive''' marks a temporary state or being, usually the same as the English "like/as a...". The genitive, comitative, locative/temportal, essive and, in some usages, the ergative and dative all change nouns into modifiers. ==== Paradigms ==== '''Singular''' {| border=1 |- | |1st |2nd |3rd |4th |5th |- !Nom |déran'''ul''' |rémadh'''ol''' |léran'''al'''¹ |sénes'''el'''¹ |mbênal'''ìle''' |- !Abs |déran'''ū''' |rémadh'''ō''' |léran'''ā''' |sénes'''ē''' |mbênal'''ī''' |- !Erg |déran'''òtye''' |rémadh'''òtye''' |léran'''ètye''' |sénes'''ètye''' |mbênal'''ìtye''' |- !Dat |déran'''ur''' |rémadh'''or''' |léran'''ar''' |sénes'''er''' |mbênal'''ìre''' |- !Gen |déran'''òbhō''' |rémadh'''òbhō''' |léran'''èbhō''' |sénes'''èbhō''' |mbênal'''ìbhō''' |- !Com |déran'''um''' |rémadh'''om''' |léran'''am''' |sénes'''em''' |mbênal'''im''' |- !Loc |déran'''u''' |rémadh'''o''' |léran'''an''' |sénes'''en''' |mbênal'''i''' |- !Ess |déran'''uis''' |rémadh'''ois''' |léran'''ais''' |sénes'''eis''' |mbênal'''īs''' |- |} '''Paucal''' The paucal is not included, as it is identical to the singular except for a prefixed '''e-'''.

Like nouns, they are also marked for case and number. Because of how they’re formed, all pronouns except for the 1st and 2nd person personals, come in pairs—one animate, used for nouns that can be in the nominative, and one inanimate, used for nouns that cannot be in the nominative. There are three types of pronouns: ''personal, demonstrative'', and ''interrogative''. ==== Personal ==== Personal pronouns substitute directly for a noun or a name. They come in all three persons. The first and second persons do not differentiate animacy, but the third person pronoun does. There are also both inclusive and exclusive first person plural pronouns, indicating whether or not the person being spoken to is included.

They should not be confused with demonstrative modifiers (see below): Pronoun: I like '''this'''. Modifier: I like '''this''' car. The demonstrative pronouns are the substantive (see ''Modifiers:Substantives'') forms of the demonstrative modifiers '''dhê''', ''this'' and '''dhâ''', ''that''. These modifiers are unanalyzable, and inflections described under ''Modifiers'' below cannot be applied, with the exceptions of the comparative and superlative. The comparative and superlative are used to emphasize exactly how close or far something is. For instance, the superlative-distal modifier '''ksēdhâ''' would mean "that thing, way over there." ==== Interrogative ==== Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. Similar to the demonstrative pronouns, they are the substantive forms of the interrogative modifier '''ûtse''', ''which''. When used with a noun, the interrogative modifier asks for indication of a specific example of that noun. When used with a verb, it forms a yes or no question, with word order indicating with constituent is being questioned. Like the demonstrative modifiers, the interrogative modifier is also unanalyzable, and cannot be inflected except for the comparative and superlative. Many of the various question words found in most languages are the declined forms of the two pronouns "who" and "which." {| border=1 |- | !"Who?" !"Which?" |- !Nom |Who? | |- !Abs |Whom? |Which?, What? |- !Erg |By whom? |With what?, How? |- !Dat |For whom? |For what?, Why? |- !Gen |Whose? |Of what? |- !Com |With whom? |(Along) with what? |- !Loc |At whose location? |At what?, Where?, When? |- !Ess |Like whom? |Like what? |- |} ---- === Prepositions === Prepositions are used just about as frequently as in English, with some exceptions. The use of “from” or its temporal equivalent “after” is taken over by the genitive, “to” or “towards” or its temporal equivalent “until” by the dative and “at,” “in,” or “on” by the locative. ---- === Modifiers === Kelanian modifiers include everything in English that would be classified as an adjective, adverb or participle, as well as derived modifiers formed by applying oblique cases to nouns and pronouns. ==== Adjectives vs. Adverbs ==== There is no morphological difference between the use of modifiers as adjectives, participles, or adverbs, implying that meaning is entirely dependent on context: when used with a noun it is an adjective or participle, and when used with a verb it is an adverb. In both cases, modifiers precede what they modify. Because modifiers can be used as adjectives, participles or adverbs, they are not marked for case and number to agree with the nouns they modify like in other languages. ==== Dynamic and Static Modifiers ==== There originally were two types of modifiers that could be derived from each root, based on some object's or some person's relation to a state of being and whether the state is fixed or changing. Dynamic modifiers were used to show changing states and static modifiers were used to show fixed states. Furthermore, there were transitive and intransitive versions of each of these categories, indicating whether the state or change of state was being felt by or being caused by the noun being modified. ===== Static to Perfect ===== The dynamic-static and transitive-intransitive distinctions split modifiers into four categories (dynamic-transitive, dynamic-intransitive, static-transitive and static-intransitive) though this four-way split was not maintained for long. By the time of the form of Kelanian being described here, the static modifiers became viewed simply as the perfect aspect of dynamic modifiers. (This has some weird implications. What would normally be considered plain adjectives, such as ''red'' or ''big'', are now the perfect form of verbs such as ''to become red'' and ''to become big''.) ==== Transitivity ==== The collapse of the dynamic-static distinction, described above, simplified the modifier system to a simple two-way split (ignoring aspect) based on transitivity—the source of Kelanian's two "voices": the '''active''' and the '''eventive'''. The active "voice" is transitive and marks actions done by the modified noun, i.e. the change in state being described is being caused by the modified noun. The eventive "voice" is intransitive and, in a similarly obvious fashion, marks events occuring to the modified noun, i.e. the change in state being described is being felt by the modified noun. ==== Aspect ==== The original dynamic modifiers (see above) were capable of being marked for three aspects: the ''imperfective'', the ''habitual'' and the ''aorist''. With the collapse of the static modifiers into the dynamic modifiers, another aspect, the ''perfect'', was created. The '''imperfective''' is used for events or actions that are happening at the time specified. It conveys the meanings of the progressive and simple participles. The '''habitual''' is used for events or actions that happen on a regular basis at the time specified. It conveys the meaning of the relative clause "who/what regularly [verbs]." The '''perfect''' is used for events or actions that are completed, resulting in a current state. The '''aorist''' isn't really an aspect, as much as a combination of the perfective aspect and past tense. It conveys the meaning of the relative clause "who/what once [verbed]". ==== Paradigm ==== {| border=1 |- | |Active |Eventive |- |Imperfective |tséra'''ye''' |'''moi'''tséra'''ye''' |- |Habitual |tséra'''ya''' |'''moi'''tséra'''ya''' |- |Perfect¹ |'''ta'''tsêra'''we''' |tsêra'''we''' |- |Aorist² |atsér- |'''mòi'''atsér- |- |} ¹ As can be seen, the perfect is formed quite differently from the other modifiers. There are different markers for the two voices, the root vowel is lengthened, and there is the suffix '''-we'''. ² The aorist forms given are the eventive and active stems instead of modifiers. See ''Verb:Morphology:The Aorist'' below for more information. ==== Modifiers from Oblique Nominal Cases ==== It was said in the Nouns section that applying oblique nominal cases form modifiers from nouns and pronouns. The form given by such derivations is equivalent to the eventive-perfect. These newly-formed modifiers can be made into any other normal modifier form by simply adding the proper suffixes and prefixes. They always form weak aorist stems. These modifiers are very useful, and eliminate the need in Kelanian for the verbs "to give," "to receive," "to go to [a place]," "to come from [a place]," "to have," and others. For instance, the way to say "I am going home" would literally be translated as "I am becoming at home," in the sense that the speaker's state is changing into one of being "at home." This would be the verb formed with imperfective-active form of the noun "home" in the locative case. ==== Comparison ==== Modifiers can be marked for both the comparative and the superlative. (The unmarked form is called the positive.) In the perfect aspect, the comparative and superlative have their normal "more-most" meanings. But in other aspects, the comparative and superlative show increasing degrees of intensity for the action or event, not usually comparable to any construction in English. The comparative is formed by adding the prefix '''rā-''', and the superlative by adding '''ksē-'''. ==== Substantives ==== When a modifier is used with one of the third person personal pronouns, it becomes a noun meaning an animate being (with ''ñgwô'') or inanimate object (with ''dyê'') having that trait. ---- === The Copula === The copula is a heavily inflected word used to relate nouns to other nouns or to modifiers. Its most common use is to relate a noun to a modifier to create a verbal phrase. It is inflected for mood and tense. ==== Mood ==== There are 6 moods: the ''indicative'', ''subjunctive'', ''potential'', ''hortative'', ''imperative'', and ''optative''. The '''indicative''' marks statements that the speaker intends to be understood as true. The '''subjunctive''' marks statements that are logically possible and have some probability of being true. The '''potential''' marks that the subject has some capability. The '''hortative''' marks an insistance that the statement come to be true. It is a "polite imperative" in the second person. The '''imperative''' marks an order or command. It is only found in the second person. The '''optative''' marks a wish or desire for the statement to be true. ==== Tense ==== There are three tenses: past, present and future. The only one of any real value discussing is the future, since the past and present speak for themselves. The future is used only for things that are certain to be true or that the speaker is intent on seeing completed, and therefore is found only in the indicative. ==== Paradigm ==== {| border=1 |- | |Indicative |Subjunctive |Potential |Hortative |Imperative |Optative |- |Past |'''énai''' |'''éntai''' |'''éndai''' |'''énau''' | |'''élnai''' |- |Present |'''éni''' |'''énti''' |'''éndi''' |'''énu''' |'''énō''' |'''élni''' |- |Future |'''énoi''' | | | | | |- |} ---- === Verbs === The term "verb" refers to a verbal phrase created with the copula and a predicate modifier. Active verbs are formed with modifiers in the active voice, and eventive verbs from modifiers in the eventive voice. Since a verb is formed from a modifier and the copula, it is marked for voice, aspect, tense and mood. For a full description of each of these, see the so-named sections under Modifiers and The Copula, above. There is also an optional set of pronominal suffixes that agree with the syntactic subject. ==== Alignment and Core Arguments ==== Transitive verbs show a split alignment for animate agents. For inanimate agents, animate agents with no volition, or agents that are less notable than the patient, the alignment is ergative. The patient is most likely the subject and is in the absolutive, and the agent is in the ergative. When an animate agent is volitional, the alignment is accuative. The agent is in the nominative and is most likely the subject. The patient is in the abolutive. If just one argument is expressed with a transitive verb, then an ambiguous argument can be supplied in translation to fill the spot of the other (i.e. "something" or "someone"). Eventive verbs are all perfectly fluid-S, meaning that their subject can be marked as the same as either the agent or patient of a trainsitive verb (nominative or absolutive) based on its percieved level of control over the change in state. Inanimate objects cannot have this control, so they cannot be put into the nominative. ==== Voice ==== In the section Modifiers:Transitivity, the word "voice" is put into quotation marks because the active and eventive are not really voices, since they do not indicate which nominal constituent of a sentence is the subject. (See the section directly above and the Syntax section below for more about this.) The active and eventive are really just the terms used to denote transitive and intransitive. ==== Aspect-Mood Interaction ==== Aspect and mood have some unpredictable interaction. They are shown here with the active verb "to lift [something]" with a first person agent (if possible). {|border=1 |- | |Indicative |Subjunctive |Potential |Hortative |Imperative³ |Optative |- |Imperfective |I '''am''' lift'''ing'''. |I '''might be''' lift'''ing'''. |I '''can be''' lift'''ing'''. |I '''should be''' lift'''ing'''. |Lift! |'''Would that''' I '''be''' lift'''ing'''. |- |Habitual |I '''do''' lift. |I '''might''' lift.¹ |I '''can''' lift. |I '''should''' lift. |Lift! |'''Would that''' I lift. |- |Perfect² |I''''ve''' lift'''ed'''. |I '''might've''' lift'''ed'''. |I '''could've''' lift'''ed'''. |I '''should've''' lift'''ed'''. |'''Be''' lift'''ed'''! |'''Would that''' I '''had''' lift'''ed'''. |- |Aorist |I lift'''ed'''. |'''Maybe''' I lift'''ed'''. |I '''could''' lift. |I '''had to''' lift. |(does not exist) |(does not exist) |- |} ¹ A more accurate translation is "I might be the one who lifts," since the way it is written here implies a future possibility, which is the meaning of the imperfective subjunctive. ² "Have" has been contracted to "'ve" to save space. ³ The two forms of the imperative have different meanings that aren't clear here. The imperfective is an order to do something immediately, while the habitual is an order to acquire a future behavior. The imperative also is only found in the second person. It might not be clear here, but the potential, hortative and optative are all contrafactual in the perfect. In the aorist, the potential and hortative give no indication of whether they are factual or not, which explains why the optative is not found in the aorist-it is inherently contrafactual. ==== The Aorist ==== As mentioned under ''Modifiers:Aspects'', the aorist is a combination of the perfective (not perfect) aspect and past tense. It refers to a past action viewed as a single whole. In English the equivalent form is the simple past, the preterate in Spanish and in ancient Greek a tense of the same name. Unlike the perfect, there are no implied effects on the present when using the aorist. The aorist is not formed with a modifier and the copula like the other verb forms, meaning that voice and mood are marked differently——aspect and tense are, by nature, fixed. Even though the aorist isn’t formed with aorist modifiers, aorist participles can still be derived, hence its inclusion on the modifier charts. The copula, however, is not used at all in constructing the aorist. There is more than one way to form it, so the aorist form generally must be learned along with each modifier. To form all the aorist's inflections, including its verbal moods and its modifier, various affixes are added into the aorist stem. '''There are 2 ways to form the aorist stem:''' The first method, called the '''strong aorist''', was usually, but not exclusively, used for words with an initial cluster. From an imperfective-active modifier, the final '''-ye''' is dropped and the characteristic vowel is prefixed and dropped. E.g. '''tséraye''' → '''atsér-''' The second method is called the '''weak aorist'''. The imperfective-active modifier is taken, the final '''-ye''' is dropped, and '''-ts''' is added after. E.g. '''déraye''' → '''dérats-''' While which method used to form the aorist stem isn’t completely predicatable, the formation of the indicative, subjunctive, potential, hortative and modifier from this stem is highly regular. {| |- ||Indicative||Subjunctive||Potential||Hortative||Modifier |- ||atsér'''ī'''||atsér'''on(e)'''||atsér'''om(e)'''||atsér'''au'''||atsér'''e''' |- |} ==== Verbal Nouns ==== Each modifier can form two verbal nouns: one from the active voice and another from the eventive voice. They roughly correspond to active and passive infinitives. For the modifier "sending," the active verbal nouns would mean "the act of sending [something]" while the eventive would mean "being sent." The verbal nouns are formed by taking the perfect form of an active or eventive modifier, dropping the final '''-we''', and adding '''rī'''. Verbal nouns belong to the fifth declension. E.g. tsêrawe → tsêrarī, tatsêrawe → tatsêrarī ===== Gerundive ===== From each verbal noun, a gerundive may also be formed. The gerundive is a modifier showing that the modified noun is supposed to either perform an action or undergo an event. For the modifier sending," the active gerundive would mean "supposed to send [something]" while the eventive would mean "supposed to be sent" or "for sending." The gerundive is formed by contracting the dative form of the verbal noun so that the word ends in '''-rre''' instead of '''-rire'''. E.g. tsêrarrī, tatsêrarrī == Syntax == === Phrase Structure === Phrases are groups of words that funtion as a single constituent. Every phrase has a head, a central word which determines what type of phrase it is. For example, a nouns in core cases are the heads of a nominal phrases and verbs comprised of a modifier and copula are the heads of a verbal phrases. Nouns in oblique cases are the heads of adjectival phrases. The only exception to this rather simple rule is prepositional phrases, which require a noun in the locative as well as a preposition. Prepositional phrases are bounded by the preposition at the beginning and the locative noun at the end. The rest of the phrase is made of modifiers added onto the head and each other. Phrases are left-branching, meaning that all modifiers, including nouns in oblique cases, are put before the head in order of descriptiveness, with the most descriptive modifier coming directly before the head. ---- === Clause Structure === ==== Word Order ==== Since the head of each phrase in the language is marked, the order of these phrases could be rather flexibile. But because word order is linked to the syntactic roles of the constituents, there is a set of standard word orders for different types of sentences. For transitive phrases with a nominative subject, word order is PAV. For transitives without a nominative subject, i.e. the absolutive patient is the subject and there is no expressed agent or there is an agent in the ergative, word order is (A)PV. In other words, the standard word order is OSV. The consitituent nearer to the verb is the subject, regardless of whether it is the agent or the patient. For intransitive verbs, the one constituent is the subject, and word order is SV. The general rule is that the constituent immediately preceding the verb is the subject in all instances, including simple statements, questions, exclamations, &c., as well as for sub-clauses. These rules are almost always followed in prose and speech, with some special exceptions. To topicalize or especially emphasise a word, it may be positioned at the beginning of the sentence. This isn’t very common with verbs. Word order conventions are not followed very strictly in poetry. ==== Independent Clauses ==== ===== Active, Passive and Weather Constructions ===== For intransitive verbs, the single nominal constituent is always the subject, but if it is omitted, the verb becomes a "weather" verb. For transitive verbs, if the patient is the subject, the verb is the equivalent of a passive. If the agent is the subject, the verb is the equivalent of an active. If either constituent is omitted, then a general noun like "someone" or "something" is understood to be the second constituent. ===== Copulaic Clauses ===== The copula can be used to show that a noun belongs to a class defined by another noun, e.g. "'''He''' is '''a king'''." In these situations, since they are always simple statements of fact, no indication of voice or aspect is needed. The argument referring to class is put into the absolutive, and the other's case is determined the same was as it would be for an eventive verb. In the above example, '''a king''' would be in the absolutive, and '''he''' could be either nominative or absolutive, depending on whether "he" wants to be a king or not. To form a sentence with a noun and a predicate adjective, then the perfect-eventive modifier is used with the copula to construct an eventive verb. ==== Dependent Clauses ==== ===== Relative Clauses ===== Since there are no relative pronouns, there are no relative clauses like there are in many languages. The equivalent is formed by treating a would-be relative clause like a long string of adjectives or by using a coordinated clause (see ''Coordinated Propositions'' below). The first method is usually used for short relative clauses, where the verb is indicative. If the verb is supposed to be in other moods, the second method must be used. For example, the sentence "The man, who we saw on TV, is over there," could be formed as something along the lines of "The seen-by-us-on-TV man is over there," or by adding another whole proposition. This second way is roughly equivalent to saying, "The man is over there, seen by us on TV," with "seen" agreeing with "the man," or "The man we saw, over there," with "to be over there" agreeing with "the man". But in the sentence "The guy, who you might have met before, is coming today" the verb of the relative clause "might have met" has to be in the subjunctive, so it can't be formed by modifiers alone. The correct way to form this would be along the lines of "You might have met the guy before, coming today," with "coming" agreeing with "the guy." ===== Declarative Clauses ===== The term "declarative clause", aka indirect statement, refers to an independent clause becoming lowered to a dependent clause, and being used as one of the consituents of a higher clause. In the sentence "you said that he fell," "that he fell" is an example of an indirect statement. It would be formed by saying something along the lines of "you spoke of his falling," using the verbal noun of the verb in the indirect statement as the object of the main clauses' verb. The agent in the indirect statement is put into the genitive if it has will and into the dative if it doesn't have will, the same way the nominative or absolutive can be used for eventive verbs. ---- === Subject-Verb Agreement === As was mentioned above under ''Verbs'', an optional pronominal suffix may be added onto a verb that agrees with the syntactic subject in person, number and case (either nominative or absolutive). So, while word order is the main method used to identify the subject, the agreement of the pronominal suffix with the subject may also be used. This is most common when the OSV word order is broken to topicalize a constituent by moving it to the beginning of the sentence, or when forming coordinated propositions. ==== Coordinated Propositions ==== Explicitly marking the subject of a verb is necessary when forming coordinated propositions, where the constituent of the first verb acting as the subject of the second isn't repeated and therefore can't be determined by word order. For example, in the sentence "Étanui déranul déraya-éni, qêñiwe-éni," the agent "déranul" happens to be the subject of the first verb "déraya-eni" because of word order, so the first part of the sentence means ''The king leads the people.'' But the subject of the second verb "qêñiwe-eni," ''to be happy'' is undeterminable since no suffix is given, so it is unclear whether the king or the people are happy. If there were a nominative, third person, singular suffix, the subject would be the king, and if there were an absolutive, third person, plural suffix, the subject would be the people. If the suffix were something else, it would either not make sense or be referring to another constituent from a previous sentence, perhaps the topic of the conversation. == Sample Sentences == *Formal Greeting: '''Lénā tanêserī ksēmbênawe-éni.

The first to develop was a logographic script called '''Tsêrilī''', but it was complex, like the Ancient Egyptian writing system. When the demand for a simpler writing system grew large enough, a phonemic script was developed to be easier to write by hand, called the '''Êlewe Tsêrilī''', or "fast writing". The older script became used mainly for monuments, stone inscriptions, and some holy texts, while the 'fast writing' was used to write just about everything else.

The word "eiuie" itself means "speech", it is the noun form of the verb "eiui", "to speak". =Phonology= Here is the phonemic inventory of the consonants of Eiuie, the letters in the table are the ones used to transcribe Eiuie, rather than the IPA symbols. {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Bilabial !Labio-Dental !Interdental !Alveolar !Post-Alveolar !Palatal !Velar !Glottal |- |'''Plosive''' | align=center | p b | &nbsp; | align=center | t d | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Nasals''' | align=center | m | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | n | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | ng |- |'''Fricatives''' | &nbsp; | align=center | f v | align=center | th dh | &nbsp; | align=center | sh zh | align=center | h x | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Approximants''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | r | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Lateral Approximants''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | l |- |'''Affricates''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | ch j | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Stops''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center| ' |} <br> <br> {| class=wikitable |+'''Consonants (Boiap váo Moian váo Zhoiash)''' |- !

If CC, then the second C can only be l or r, and the first can only be a nasal or fricative. Nucleus: The nucleus must always contain a vowel. R and l, though liquid, can not form a nucleus. Diphthongs or triphthongs are very common, but I don't think it's correct to call four vowels in a row one syllable, so at that point, a different syllable will have been started. Coda: A consonant if the word is a noun, unless the noun ends with -e, the other acceptable noun ending. If not a noun, the word ends with a vowel (or glottal stop ['] in some instances). ==Alphabet== The Eiuie alphabet has 41 symbols: the 32 sounds plus an alternative smaller symbol for each of the vowels. It is usually represented in 5 columns from left to right, in the order of hard consonants, soft consonants, fricatives, vowels, and lastly alternate vowels in line with their corresponding vowels. The glottal stop is usually placed at the bottom of the hard consonant column. Eiuie is written vertically in columns from left to right, with each character in a word connecting together, as in English cursive. Small (alternate) symbols will be discussed in the script section.

Rather than the 1,2,5, and 10 factors of the decimal system that the human colonists brought with them, the duodecimal of the aat-Djaiik has factors 1,2,3,4,6, and 12. The numerals are divided into four groups of three: ''tom, ten, tang'' (1,2,3) ''kom, ken, kang'' (4,5,6) ''som, sen, sang'' (7,8,9) ''nom, nen, nang'' (c,y,0). (The letters 'c' and 'y' are used to represent 10 and 11 because they do not conflict with any of the letters in the Eiuie alphabet.) Ten is ''rel'', one hundred is ''júl''. ===Numerical Morphology=== Numbers are always represented by only one word, made up of digits, tens, hundreds, and so on. The smallest value is always the first part of the word -- for example, 11 is one-ten (''tomrel''). A multiplier to the larger value is added to the end of that value, so 20 is ten-two (''relten''), 21 is one-ten-two (''tomrelten''), and so forth. This pattern continues for even larger numbers, 101 being one-hundred (''tomjúl''), 110 ten-hundred (''reljúl''), 111 one-ten-hundred (''tomreljúl''), 120 ten-two-hundred (''reltenjúl''), 200 hundred-two (''júlten''). The pattern never breaks, sometimes causing very large words to represent numbers, such as 2,5c4 four-ten-c-hundred-five-ten-two (''komrelnomjúlkenrelten'') {|class=wikitable |+'''Eiuie Numbers''' |- !

The high and low tones are marked with accents, whilst the mid tone is the default tone and is not marked. The high tone is marked by an acute accent over back and neutral vowels and '''y''' ('''á é í ó ú ý''') and by a double-acute accent over front vowels ('''a̋ ő'''); similarly, the low tone is marked by single or double grave accents: ('''à ȁ è ì ò ȍ ù ỳ'''). Long vowels and diphthongs can have two tones. ==Vowel harmony== Velyan phonotactics restrict the vowels that can appear in any one word to a subset of the entire inventory. Vowels are divided into three groups: front vowels (ä, ö, ü), back vowels (a, o, u) and neutral vowels (e, i). All vowels in a word must be either front vowels, or back vowels, but not both (though neutral vowels can appear in words with either front or back vowels.) ==Initial Consonant Mutation== In Velyan, consonants at the beginning of words undergo a process of ''initial consonant mutation''', whereby an initial '''p''', '''t''', or '''k''' is mutated to its equivalent nasal consonant (respectively '''m''', '''n''' or '''ŋ''' under certain conditions. Conversely, under the same conditions the consonants '''m''', '''n''' or '''ŋ''' mutate to the consonants '''p''', '''t''' or '''k'''. The conditions under which this happens are explained more fully in the section on Syntax. ==Consonant Gradation== The phenomenon of ''consonant gradation'' arises due to a restriction in Velyan words, that prohibits a "strong" syllable from ending in a consonant. A '''strong syllable''' is a syllable that begins with a consonant and is preceded by another ending in (at least) one consonant. When this happens, the consonant or cluster at the beginning of the final syllable undergoes '''lenition''' or softening (although it can be historically explained as a process of '''fortition''' or hardening). The following changes occur as a result of consonant gradation: #Geminate phonemes change to simplex ones, e.g. ''tt'' -> ''t'', ''rr'' -> ''r'', ''ss'' -> ''s''. The remaining changes only affect plosives and clusters containing plosives: Clusters change as follows: #Nasals: ##Nasal + voiceless plosive changes to geminate nasal, e.g. ''mp'' -> ''mm'', ''nt'' -> ''nn'' #Liquids: ##''lt'' -> ''ll ##''lp'' -> ''lv'' ##''lkU'' -> ''lvU'' ##''rkU'' -> ''rvU'' ##''lkI'' -> ''lji'' ##''rkI'' -> ''rji'' #Consonant clusters beginning with ''s'': ##''sp'' -> ''sv'' ##''st'' -> ''*sr'' -> ''rs'' ##''sk'' -> ''ss'' #Consonant clusters ending with ''s'': ##''ps'' -> ''*vs'' -> ''sv'' ##''ts'' -> ''rs'' ##''ks'' -> ''s'' #Simplex consonants ##''t'' -> ''r'' ##''p'' -> ''v'' ##''k'' -> Ø ##''iki'' -> ''iji'' ##-UkU'' -> ''UvU'' ##''v'' -> ''w'' Notes: #Long vowels and geminate consonants are written double, e.g. ''aa'', ''kk''. Note that {{IPA|/ɾː/}} is the geminate counterpart of {{IPA|/r/}}. =Morphology= ==Nouns== Nouns are divided into '''noun classes''' and inflect for '''quality''', '''dimension''', '''age''', '''tense/aspect''', '''number''', '''case''', '''possessor''', '''destination''' and '''deixis'''. Suffixes (there are no prefixes or infixes in Velyan) are added to the noun, or (more often) to the '''oblique stem'''. ===Noun Classes=== There are several noun classes, reflecting the division of nouns into several semantic categories. The noun classes are added to a notional form of the noun known as the '''base'''. In some cases, the base of a noun ends in one of the letters '''l''', '''n''', '''r''', '''s''', or '''t''', and the noun is in Class IX, which has no suffix; in these cases the base form does surface. The class suffixes are as follows: {| |Class||||Meaning||||Suffix |- |I||||Divine Female||||'''-tAri''' |- |II||||Divine Male||||'''-tAr''' |- |III||||Female Human||||'''-O''' |- |IV||||Masculine Human||||'''-á''' |- |VI||||Female Professional||||'''-jA''' |- |V||||Male Professional||||'''-ri''' |- |VII||||Animate (Non-Human)||||'''-e''' |- |VIII||||Inanimate I||||∅ |- |IX||||Inanimate II||||'''-i''' |- |X||||Abstract||||'''-U''' |- |XI||||Small Place||||'''-lA''' |- |XII||||Large Place||||'''-mA''' |- |XIII||||Instrument||||'''-ìn''' |} ===Quality=== Nouns in Velyan take suffixes to show '''quality''', that is, whether something is good or bad. The suffix for ''good'' is '''- ====Dimension==== Nouns in Velyan take suffixes to show '''dimension''', that is whether something is large or small. The suffix for ''large'' is '''-iso''' after consonants, '''-is-''' after consonants and before vowels and '''-so''' after consonants and before vowels. ===Age=== ===Number=== Number in Velyan distinguishes the following categories: general, singulative (''"one"''), dual (''"two"''), paucal (''"more than two, upto about 10 or a dozen"''), plural (''"more than ten or a dozen"'') and collective (''"all"''). The general form of the noun is the form used when citing the noun in general contexts. as in the English equivalents ''The '''lion''' is a member of the cat family''. The number suffixes differ depending on whether the suffix is the last suffix on the noun, or is followed by a suffix beginning with a consonant or a vowel. <br> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Number affixes |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=4| Singulative ||colspan=4| Dual ||colspan=4| Paucal ||colspan=4| Plural ||colspan=4| Collective |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| Finally || '''-na''' || || || || '''-r''' || || || || '''-há''' || || || || '''-t'''|| || || || '''-kà''' |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| Before consonant || '''-na-'''|| || || || '''-u-'''|| || || || '''-h-''' || || || || '''-i-''' || || || || '''-kà-''' |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 95%;"| Before a vowel || '''-nan-'''|| || || || '''-v-''' || || || || '''-h-''' || || || || '''-j-''' || || || || '''-kàk-''' |} </div> ===Deixis=== In English, the demonstratives "this", "these", "that" and "those" are used to point out objects located in space or time. In Velyan, the demonstratives occur as prefixes on the noun, and, in addition, there is a three-way distinction as opposed to the two-way distinction of English (similar to Spanish ''esto, eso, aquel'' or the archaic "this, there, yon". The suffixes are as follows: <div style="text-align: left;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=50 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Demonstrative Suffixes |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" |- || || || Near || Medial || Far |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| || || '''-ŋi''' || '''-ti''' || '''-mi''' |- |} </div> These forms are clearly related to the possessive suffixes (below). ===Possession=== Nouns take suffixes to show possession. ==Verbs== Verbs are divided into two groups: the transitive conjugation and the intransitive conjugation. Verbs in the intransitive conjugation inflect for person, class/gender and number of the patient; gender and number of the addressee; tense; aspect; voice; mood and verbal number. Verbs in the transitive conjugation also inflect for person, class/gender and number of the agent, indirect object and beneficiary. There are also evidential suffixes and non-finite forms, comprising infinitives, participles, and gerunds. ===Tense=== There are four tenses: present, past, remote past and future. ====Compound Tenses==== There are compound tenses formed from the past participles of verbs in all moods plus the appropriate tense of the verbs '''ralta''' (an old verb meaning ''"to have"'') for verbs of the transitive conjugation, or '''halka''' (the full form of the existential verb which now survives as a suffix on nouns) for verbs of the intransitive conjugation. ===Aspect=== There are seven aspects: aorist, imperfect, perfective, continuative, inchoative, habitative, and conclusive. ===Voice=== There are five voices: active, passive, antipassive, medial and reciprocal. ===Mood=== There are eight moods, comprising the indicative, the imperative, the hortative, the optative, the desiderative, the necessitative, the obligative, and the similitive, ===Infinitives=== There are infinitival (non-personal) forms for all tenses and aspects except the imperative. ===Numbers=== The numbers from 1 to 20 are: '''hanki''' ''1'', '''rotpi''' ''2'', '''työtki''' ''3'', '''papsi''' ''4'', ''vuusi''' ''5'' '''kauvi''' ''6'' '''kirpi''' ''7'' '''lÿÿlli''' ''8'' '''saunni''' ''9'' '''muupi''' ''10'' '''hankimuupi''' ''11'' '''rotpimuupi''' ''12'' '''työtkimyypi''' ''13'' '''papsimuupi''' ''14'' '''vuusimuupi''' ''15'' '''kauvimuupi''' ''16'' '''kirpimuupi''' ''17'' '''lyyllimyypi''' ''18'' '''saunnimuupi''' ''19'' '''väppi''' ''20'' =Syntax= See main article [[Velyan syntax]] Talk:Velyan 4040 47357 2009-07-18T16:39:42Z Twenex 727 moved [[Talk:Velian]] to [[Talk:Velyan]] over redirect: Reintroducing palatalisation Looks good. You might want to join Muke Tever's Frathwiki Yahoo! egroup. == Velar nasal "eng" == ŋ is an IPA symbol that does, in fact, exist here on Frathwiki. == Certain hooked IPA symbols. == ɧɱŋɳɲ are all there; ɲ n with a left hook on the left leg, ɳ n with a right hook on the right leg, ŋ n with a left hook on the right leg (a.k.a. eng).

The symbol you've used ƞ is not in the top row; it's far to the right in the fourth "Latin" row. But there's an "eng" in the Latin too: look in the third row just about a quarter to a third from the right.

I hope I did it right. == Some questions == Why are some of the consonants listed with parenetheses? Does that indicate allophones, or what? Also, what precisely is the distinction between "human" and "professional" in the noun class section? And, are these noun classes a gender system? [[User:Nik|Nik]] 16:04, 7 October 2007 (PDT) == The suffix shows person/number/gender of the possessor of the suffixed noun. == Although any reader would eventually figure it out, it's probably worth mentioning explicitly that the suffix shows person/number/gender of the ''possessor'' of the suffixed noun; not of the noun itself. The noun is suffixed ''provided'' it is possessed. Have you considered having the suffix (optionally) also show the ''case'' of the possessor? Good stuff so far!

The calendar was established by [[Chinrasta]], who based it upon several earlier calendars. It has been slightly revised from time to time since then. == Days == Each day is considered to begin 15 [[Odiran Standard Units#Time|daymins]] (6 hours) after mean midnight, that is, the average time of sunrise. === Day Count === The calendar is based, ultimately, on a continuous count of days which began on the first day of the first year of the calendar's usage. === Divisions of the Ecliptic === The [[Wikipedia:ecliptic|ecliptic]] is divided into 288 ''segments'' of equal size. The calendar is based on the calculated movement of [[Chihazh]] and [[Moons of Galhaf|Sasah]]'s calculated movement along the ecliptic. Each day is associated with one ''solar segment'' and one ''lunar segment'', named after the segment occupied (according to calculation) by Chihazh and Sasash at the beginning of the calendrical day. == Months == The calendar has 12 '''ordinary months'''. Most years contain all 12 of the ordinary months (though some have only 11), and 1-3 '''extra months''' (years with 3 extra months always skip one of the ordinary months). More on the distinction below. Each month contains either 18 or 19 days. The pattern of short and long months varies from year to year. Most of the months contain 18 days. === Half-Months === Each month is divided into 2 ''halves'' of (generally) equal length, each of which are divided into 2 ''quarters'' of uneven length. In 19-day months, the extra day is not counted as being part of any quarter or half, and is considered very unlucky. It occurs either between the first and second halves or at the end of the second half. The first and third quarters are 6 days each, while the second and fourth are three days each. Each day of the quarters have certain functions *First and Third Quarters **1st day (1st and 10th of the month): Markets held **2nd day (2nd and 11th of the month): Fasting; funeral services are held on these days **3rd day (3rd and 12th of the month): Council of Elders meet, courts held **4th day (4th and 13th of the month): Council of Elders meet, courts held **5th day (5th and 14th of the month): Feasting; weddings are held on these days **6th day (6th and 15th of the month): Unlucky; nothing important should be started on these days, sexual abstinence required; any child born on this day is considered cursed *Second and Fourth Quarters **1st day (7th and 16th of the month): Markets held **2nd day (8th and 17th of the month): Religious rituals performed **3rd day (9th and 18th of the month): Unlucky; nothing important should be started on these days, sexual abstinence required; any child born on this day is considered cursed In addition, the entire fourth quarter is considered somewhat unlucky. The 19th day of the month, in those months with 19 days, is considered extremely unlucky and a day for abstaining from most activities, and for fasting. The quarters developed as a result of the [[Moons of Galhaf|moons]] sharing a single orbit, with Lhasta being 60 degrees ahead of Sasash. The first quarter was the period during which both moons were waxing, the 2nd quarter was the period during which Lhasta was waning while Sasah was still waxing, the 3rd quarter was the period during which both moons were waning, while the 4th quarter was the period during which Lhasta was waxing and Sasash waning. In the [[Kasshi Solar Calendar|modern solar calendar]], this has evolved into a 9-day week, without the interruptions (and thus no longer in sync with the moons). === Days of the Month === Month lengths are determined independently of the year. Sasash is considered to spend 3 daymins, 31 daysecs, 25½ daytrices in each segment. Each day is given a date according to the difference between the lunar and solar segments. If they are in the same segment, or separated by 1-15 segments, it is day 1 of the first half, 16-31 segments, day 2, and so on, 16 segments to each day. If the same date is assigned to sequential days, the second is labeled "repeat". On occasion, a date may also be skipped. Sasash travels 17 segments in most days, with the occasional day traveling 18 segments. Chihazh travels 1 or 2 segments per day. Thus, the distance may increase anywhere from 15-17 segments. If, for example, the distance was 16 segments in one day, and the next it was 31, both dates would be counted as day 2 of the month. Conversely, if the distance was 15 in one day, and the next 32, then the first would be day 1 and the second day 3. There is a special rule that every month *must* have one, and only one, each of day 1 and day 10. If the normal rules would cause either of those days to be repeated, the second is counted as the following day (day 2 or day 11) and what would've been the regular day 2 or day 11 is counted as a repeat. Likewise, if the normal rules would cause either of those days to be skipped, the day that would've been day 2 or day 11 is instead counted as day 1 or day 10, with day 2/day 11 being skipped instead. == Solar Periods == The solar year is divided into 12 "solar periods" of 24 segments each, which represent the time it takes Chihazh to move across <sup>1</sup>/<sub>12</sub> of the ecliptic. Due to the mild eccentricity of Galhaf's orbit, these periods vary from just under 18 days to a little over 23 days. A lunar month is named according to the solar period the Sun is in on the first day of the month. If a month begins in the same period as the previous month, it is an "extra" month. The extra month is named with a suffixed ''wābi'' (second). A little under half of all years will contain 14 months. Very rarely, a month may begin two solar periods after the previous month (that is, the previous month began near the very end of one solar period, and contained the entirety of the next period). In this case, the month containing the entire solar period is named after both the period it begins in and the period it contains, for example, Wamūtra-Wakommū. In Chinrasta's time, there were only 36 segments, which were based on the then-known lengths of the solar periods (but it was assumed that each segment of a period was equal in length; the solar periods were divided into thirds as 36 was the lowest common multiple of the 12 periods and the 18 days of a typical month). As more precise measurements became available, the segments were initially divided into two each, for a total of 72, and each of those were subsequently divided into fourths, creating the present 288 total segments, increasing the precision of the calendar, and ensuring that Chihazh always moves at least one segment from one day to the next. Today, walītra (Early Spring) begins in segment 194 and ends in segment 217. The calendar incorporates precession by shifting each solar period 1 segment back every 75 years (specifically, in multiples of 75 in the [[Galhafan Chronology|Calendrical Era]]; the most recent such adjustment being in 3975 CE = 837 OE). Precession was unknown when the calendar was first established, which caused the segments to gradually become inaccurate. This is part of the reason for the division of the original 36 segments into 288. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class=bordertable style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |rowspan=2|'''Name''' |rowspan=2|'''Translation''' |rowspan=2|'''Start of Solar Period'''<br>(relative to winter solstice) |rowspan=2|'''Start of Solar Period'''<br>(Segment; modern times) |colspan=2|'''Length of Solar Period'''<br>(Classical Era) |colspan=3|'''Length of Solar Period'''<br>(Modern) |rowspan=2|'''Name of Season''' |- |Days |Daymins |Days |Daymins |Daysecs |- |Walītra |Early Spring |45º |194 |'''18''' |27 |'''20''' |55 |47 |rowspan=3|Walīja (Spring) |- |Wakunrī |Mid-Spring |75º |218 |'''17''' |56 |'''19''' |34 |19 |- |Walenkalel |Late Spring |105° |242 |'''18''' |0 |'''18''' |31 |11 |- |Wamūtra |Early Summer |135º |268 |'''18''' |38 |'''17''' |57 |43 |rowspan=3|Wamūja (Summer) |- |Wakommū |Mid-Summer |165° |2 |'''19''' |44 |'''17''' |58 |27 |- |Wamūnalel |Late Summer |195º |26 |'''21''' |6 |'''18''' |33 |16 |- |Watreshtra |Early Autumn |225º |50 |'''22''' |23 |'''19''' |37 |28 |rowspan=3|Watrezzha (Autumn) |- |Wakontresh |Mid Autumn |255° |74 |'''23''' |8 |'''20''' |59 |18 |- |Watreshnalel |Late Autumn |285º |98 |'''23''' |3 |'''22''' |17 |52 |- |Wadreftra |Early Winter |315º |122 |'''22''' |9 |'''23''' |6 |30 |rowspan=3|Wadrevja (Winter) |- |Wakondref |Mid Winter |345° |146 |'''20''' |49 |'''23''' |5 |23 |- |Wadrefnalel |Late Winter |15º |170 |'''19''' |28 |'''22''' |15 |0 |} == Post-Chinrastan Developements == Chinrasta understood that the figures she had for the solar periods were of relatively low precision, and had [[Imperial Observatory|an observatory]] built in [[Ivets|Ibettu]] (modern-day Ivets) for the purpose of gathering more precise data. It didn't take long for the calendar to drift out of sync. For some time, the error was dealt with simply by dropping days on an ad hoc basis. Finally, in the year 603 of the Calendrical Era (423 Imperial Era, 2536 BOE), a reformed calendar was introduced that, for the first time, measured Chihazh's time in the then-36 segments out to a precision of 10 daysecs. Precession was discovered during the [[First Interregnum]]. The first known reference to that phenomenon is in 1507 BOE (1632 CE), by which point precession had moved the solstices about 27 degrees relative to the zodiac, almost one full solar period. During the Interregnum, there were a number of minor variations of the calendar, based on different estimates of the solar periods, as well as being based on different locations (the original calendar used the meridian of Ivets). Precession was a particularly thorny issue, requiring changes to the solar periods beyond merely greater precision. In 407 BOE, shortly after the establishment of the Third Empire, a Great Reform took place. Each segment had already been halved, creating a total of 72 segments (with Chihazh spending from just under 3 to just under 4 days in each), and were now divided into quarters, creating the present 288-segment calendar, and each segment calculated out to the daysec (thanks to the discovery of the Laws of Orbital Motion [equivalent to our Kepler's Laws], given knowledge of the total orbital period and the eccentricity of the orbit, the segments could be calculated rather than requiring direct measuremnt). Precession was accounted for by a rule that shifted each solar period backwards by one segment per 75 years (which gives a precessional period of 21,600 years - very close to the actual figure of 21,547 years) == Year Cycles == Traditionally, years were named in relation to three interlocking cycles, a 60-year cycle (itself built up on a 12-year and a 5-year cycle), a 7-year cycle, and a 9-year cycle. These cycles long predated the Nrastaist Calendar. These cycles repeat themselves every 1,260 years. The last time all the cycles were at their start was in the year 342 OE. These once-every-1,260-year alignments are a time of great celebration, as are years that have the same name as years of historic significance (for example, for Nrastaists, the year Red Increasing Fire Young Adult Ofsandakh, which was the name of the year of the Revelation, is extremely important; this last occurred in 809 BOE, and will next occur in 1352 OE) === Sexagesimal === The 60-year cycle was built from two lesser cycles, a 5-year cycle of colors (red, yellow, blue, white, black) and a 12-year cycle built from the 6 traditional elements (Fire, Ice, Wind, Rock, Life, Death), each of which covered two years, the first labeled "Increasing" and the second labeled "Decreasing". This is believed to have been the oldest of the cycles. === Septimal === The 7-year cycle was based on the traditional phases of life - Infant, Young Child, Child, Adolescent, Young Adult, Adult, Elder === Nonal === The 9-year cycle used the names of the primary celestial objects: [[Suns of Galhaf|Chihazh]], [[Tusatrakh]], [[Ofsandakh]], [[Moons of Galhaf|Sasah]], Lhásta, [[Ospendakh]], [[Zheftakh]], [[Ozatraftakh]], Chimíve === Secondary Cycles === The combination of the elements and the nonal cycle make up a 36-year cycle. Each element can only be paired with one of three celestial bodies and each celestial body can only be paired with four elements. This 36-year cycle is sometimes used to divide a person's life into 36-year phases, each of which begin when the element-planet combination of their birth year reoccurs. Even now, ones 36th, 72nd, 108th, and (for those lucky enough to live that long) 144th birthdays are considered noteworthy. The combination of the sexagesimal and nonal cycles create a 180-year cycle. Years are often given by that cycle with, in historical contexts, a term such as an Imperial rule given to specify (for example, "Yellow Decreasing Fire Lhásta of [[Chalanya]]'s Reign" for the year 1 IE. The 9- and 7-year cycles are sometimes considered by themselves for a 63-year cycle, which is very important in [[Kasshi Astrology|astrology]]. The year 1 CE was Yellow Decreasing Fire Young Child Lhásta, while the year 1 YF was Red Increasing Fire Young Adult Ofsandakh. The year 846 OE is Black Increasing Fire Infant Chihazh (which last occurred in the year 415 BOE) == See Also == *[[Kasshi Solar Calendar]] the modern solar calendar, based upon this one *[[Kasshi Astrological Calendar]] [[Category:Galhafan Calendars]] [[Category:Kasshi|Calendar, nrastaist]] Alpine languages 4042 57795 2010-11-19T21:27:19Z WeepingElf 43 /* Palaeo-Alpine languages in the LLL */ The Alps mountain range is occupied by languages of three Indo-European groups: * West Germanic :* Alemannic :* Bavarian * Romance :* French :* Occitan :* Italian :* Rhaeto-Romance ::* Grisons ::* Dolomites Ladin ::* Friulian * South Slavic :* Slovenian Extinct languages of the Alps include the Celtic languages Gaulish and Lepontic and the non-Indo-European language Rhaetian, which is probably related to Etruscan.

The Chief Trader is elected by the [[Council of Traders and Merchants]], nominally for life (although in modern times, most Chief Traders step down after 20-30 [[Galhafan year|years]]). As the title implies, the office was originally restricted to the traders of the city. The office tended to be monopolized by several powerful families, with numerous short parent-child dynasties. The position originated as an advisory role to the Lady Mayor of Shivrashan during the early [[Fourth Kasshi Empire]]. The position of Lady Mayor survived until the [[Shivrashan Crisis]], although by that point it had become a purely ceremonial position. It was formally discontinued after the last Lady Mayor died in 17 [[Galhafan Chronology|ShE]].

He consolidated Shivrashanian control over the Trans-Fantasta, making the Trans-Fantasta into a centralized political entity, and effectively eliminated [[Ivets]]' control. He died under mysterious circumstances in 58 ShE, and was succeeded by his younger brother [[Mindak Kotarkan]]. It is generally believed that he was poisoned.

In 60 ShE he forced his niece, [[Yukan Orontakan]], the eldest child of Litsat Kotarkan, to marry him, in order to consolidate his authority.

Yukan was the eldest daughter of [[Litsat Kotarkan]]. Upon his untimely death in 58 ShE (believed to have been a poisoning), her uncle, [[Mindak Kotarkan]], forced the [[Council of Traders and Merchants]] to elect him instead of her as [[Chief Trader of Shivrashan|Chief Trader]]. Two years later, he forced her to marry him to consolidate his claim on the semi-hereditary office. In 63 ShE, while Yukan was pregnant with his first (and only) child, he died, also probably a poisoning. She was elected to succeed him. She proved to be one of the greatest Chief Traders in [[Shivrashan]]'s history. In 74, she married [[Nandali Nyarakan]], son of [[Kasshi Empress|Empress]] [[Chara]] of the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire|Kasshi Empire]]. She continued her predecessors' work consolidating control over the northern Provinces and extended the boundaries further. In 95, she married her daughter Mokar off to King [[Ntakw of Kalpan|Ntakw]] of [[Kalpan]], bestowing direct control of the Kalpanian Provinces to the King in exchange for his fealty. This set off the Kalpanian Crisis, which led to the short [[Second Kalpanian War]] (96-98), resulting in the full independance of Shivrashan from the Kasshi Empire, and the establishment of the [[Trans-Fantasta#The Empire of the Trans-Fantasta|Empire of the Trans-Fantasta]]. In 99 she became a grandmother with the birth of Mokar's first child, a son named [[Mpara Mokarkan]], heir to the throne of Kalpan. In 101, she led an invasion of [[Blafu]]-controled [[East Kalpan]], beginning the [[Third Kalpanian War]] (101-135), which eventually ended in Blafu being driven from Kalpan, and all of Kalpan becoming a part of the Trans-Fantasta Empire. By the time of her death, in 146 ShE, the Trans-Fantasta Empire had achieved something close to its maximum territorial extent, and the title of Chief Trader came to be used less often than that of Empress.

Anderson, Editor of the Piscean Lexicon, Representative of the New Piscean Workers' Nation]] The Andersonic alphabet (Piscean: Alefbef andersonum) was conventionally - but no longer - used to write the [[Piscean language]]. It was devised in June 2007 by S.C. Anderson, editor of the Piscean Lexicon. Though designed to match the Phoenician alphabet - via which many modern-day alphabets arrived - as closely as possible, the Andersonic letters are, visually, heavily influenced by those from Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. In a recent conference, Anderson 'called out' to all peoples of the world in a bid to promote his alphabet. He stated, 'I believe that the Andersonic system is the most accurate alphabet in implementation today. So many corruptions of glyphs have occurred in the transition from Phoenician to the majority of our modern-day alphabets. Created through scrutiny of that Phoenician alphabet, the Andersonic alphabet is true to the pure letter-forms. It can be easily adapted to by users of Latin, Cyrillic and Greek alphabets; therefore, I encourage you all to "Andersonise" your languages today. Creators of conlangs, unite and use the Andersonic alphabet!' ==Letter-forms== The letters of the Andersonic alphabet are shown below alongside their Latin equivalents, name and IPA pronunciation.

[[Image:Andersoncomma.png]] [[Image:Commaexample.png|thumb|Placement of an Andersonic comma]] In correct usage, the comma is followed by a single space - unless in quotations - but followed by an en-width space before text continues. In addition to using the comma to separate clauses (e.g. I went to Germany '''(independent clause)''','''(comma)''' but ''(conjunction)'' Bill went to Japan ''(independent clause)''), as in English, S.C. Anderson encourages people to use them also before noun clauses that begin with 'that', 'what', 'where', 'when', etc (e.g. Let me know what you plan to do'''//'''when you get to London.). [[Image:Decimalseparator.png]] [[Image:Numberexample.png]] The Andersonic comma plays an important numerical role as a decimal separator, where apostrophes (an exact replication of the prime) are used as thousands separators. Used together, the comma and apostrophe are the main constituents of quotation marks. Quotations are introduced with a colon and en-space (if introduction is required), opened with a comma (no space) and closed with an apostrophe. If the quotation includes a full sentence, it is customary in Piscean to place the punctuation, such as commas and full stops, within the quote marks. [[Image:Andersonicspeech.png]] If speech is interrupted, the first section of speech ends on a comma or semicolon, the quote marks are closed by an apostrophe, the interruption is added (after en-space) and the second section of speech is reintroduced using a colon: [[Image:Andersonicspeech2.png]] Should there be a quote within a quote, the same rules apply except for substituting pilcrow (Unicode U+00B6) for both the opening comma and the closing apostrophe. [[Image:Andersonicspeech3.png]] ===Periods=== When talking about the Andersonic alphabet, the word 'period' is not equivalent to 'full stop'. It can refer to any of six types of punctuation with which to end a sentence: full stop, ellipsis, question mark, exclamation mark, interrobang or abstract mark. {|border=1 ! Andersonic period ! Name of character ! Purpose ! Example sentence |- | [[Image:fullstopperiod.png]] | Full stop | Ends sentence | They were making cake. |- | [[Image:ellipsisperiod.png]] | Ellipsis | Implies incomplete idea or aposiopesis; ends sentence | They were making cake, when a creature interrupted them ... |- | [[Image:questionperiod.png]] | Question mark | Indicates interrogative sentence; ends sentence | What type of cake are you making? |- | [[Image:exclamationperiod.png]] | Exclamation mark | Indicates strong feeling or high volume; ends sentence | Don't eat the cake! |- | [[Image:interrobangperiod.png]] | Interrobang | Indicates interrogative sentence; indicates strong feeling or high volume; ends sentence | What on Earth is that cake supposed to be?! |- | [[Image:abstractperiod.png]] | Abstract mark | Indicates sentence should be understood at a second level (i.e. for irony, sarcasm or a rhetorical question: something that is not meant to be taken literally); ends sentence | You can't have your cake and eat it. |} ===Embarkments=== When writing in the Andersonic alphabet, S.C. Anderson encourages the use of 'embarkments' before sentences that end with emphatic periods, namely question marks, exclamation marks, interrobangs and abstract marks. The embarkments are inverts of their period equivalents, excluding the 'lower stop'. {|border=1 ! Embarkment ! Period with which it is used |- | [[Image:Questionembark.png]] | [[Image:Questionperiod.png]] |- | [[Image:Exclamationembark.png]] | [[Image:Exclamationperiod.png]] |- | [[Image:Interrobangembark.png]] | [[Image:Interrobangperiod.png]] |- | [[Image:Abstractembark.png]] | [[Image:Abstractperiod.png]] |} [[Image:Demopunctuation.png]] ===Colons and semicolons=== Colons and semicolons are written the same way in the Andersonic alphabet as in the Latin alphabet. Generally, colons are used only to introduce speech, while semicolons are the single way to connect two sentences without conjunction. Colons and semicolons are not preceded by a space, but followed by an en-space. [[Image:Democolon2.png]] [[Image:Democolon.png]] Note that the encouraged (Piscean) format instructs the writer to always follow colons with a capital letter, but always to follow semicolons with a lower-case letter. ===Umlaut-A=== The only letter in the Andersonic alphabet designated an umlaut - or any kind of accent - is A. It is pronounced like the word 'air' and replaces the dipthong 'ea' in words of Old English origin and the letters 'ah' in words of German origin. For example, Old English 'dēad' ('dead') becomes Piscean 'däd' and German 'Bahn' ('rail') becomes Piscean 'Bän'. [[Image:Andersonumlaut.png]] For more information about transliterating umlauts in loanwords, see below. ==Transliteration== The Andersonic alphabet uses transliteration to render the words of a language that normally uses another writing system for the comprehension of names of people, places and companies in Andersonic texts. All non-Andersonic letters are mapped directly to their Andersonic equivalents, although some arguably require transcription for the purpose of disambiguation. Without transcriptions, there is no way to distinguish between alternate letter pronunciations or to convey accents. Confusion arises, in Piscean, in such instances as soft C's rendered as hard C's in the language because they are the only option. The name 'Charlotte' is seen by Piscean-speakers as 'Kharlotte'. As the Andersonic J is conventionally pronounced as English Y, the name 'Jessica' is seen as 'Yessica' and 'John' as 'Yohn'. It is generally accepted that skills must be learned to recognise the appearance of names and how that reflects their origins, thus how it is properly spoken. When transliterating umlauts, circumflexes acute or grave accents, they must be dropped in favour of a following E. ë becomes ee, for example. Even the Andersonic umlaut-A is not used for transliteration, giving way instead to ae. Accents on consonants are ignored. ===In industries=== [[Image:Windowsvistapiscean.jpg|thumb|Names of well-known companies' products are transliterated]] Names of foreign companies, as a rule of Piscean, remain the same as in their native languages (i.e. aren't translated), yet are transliterated into the Andersonic alphabet. In New Pisces, however, foreign companies are an infrequent sight. Its purist communist approach has led to it becoming virtually self-sufficient. The thumbnail to the right depicts the non-Piscean computer operating system that has been 'allowed' by the government and thrives in the country. S.C. Anderson commented, 'We can't make everything ourselves and Windows Vista(TM) is my favourite OS, as well as the entire country's favourite, so I made it the single official operating system.' [[Image:translitorigin.jpg|thumb]] [[Image:translitanderson.jpg|thumb]] This rule also applies to the music industry, where names of bands, album titles and track titles are transliterated into the Andersonic alphabet, as shown in the thumbnails. ==Keyboard layout== Keyboards in New Pisces are based on a PFGRCL layout, with the exclamation and question marks appearing beside each other, a Yen symbol added to the numerical row and many punctuation marks from the bottom row of letters replacing keys at the top row of letters. It is said to be the optimal keyboard layout for the Piscean language; containing all vowels in consecutive positions on the second row of letters, it apparently increases hand alternation. Punctuation on the PFGRCL keyboard is moved from the inaccessible bottom-right hand corner of the keyboard, serviced by the inherently weak pinky on the QWERTY keyboard, to the more open top-left corner where the Q, W and E keys are found. Question embarkments are entered with Alt+2; exclamation embarkments, with Alt+1; interrobang embarkments, with Alt+Shift+3; lower-case umlaut-A's, with Alt+A; upper-case umlaut-A's, with Ctrl+A. In order, the letters on the keyboard include: P, F, G, R, C, L; A, O, E, U, I, D, H, T, N, S; J, X, B, M, W, V, Z, Q [[Image:Keyboardlayout.jpg]] ==Native names of letters, punctuation marks and variations of the standard alphabet== (Refer to 'letter-forms' for English pronunciation of letter names.)

When written in the Latin alphabet, Tauro-Piscean contains double consonants; however, in the correct alphabet, any double consonants are replaced with a single Partridgic letter. Also, Tauro-Piscean vowels written in the Latin alphabet with acute accents or circumflexes to mark atypical stress - á, é, í, ó, ú, ĵ - are replaced with Partridgic vowels. *bb, cc, dd, ff, gg, ll, mm, nn, pp, rr, ss, tt, vv, xx, zz respectively: [[Image:partridgic_consonants.png]] *á, é, í, ó, ú, ĵ respectively: [[Image:partridgic_vowels.png]] User:Soyuine1 4111 24825 2007-09-01T14:42:29Z Soyuine1 731 update Hello I'm Soyuine1.

It originated as an advisory body for the [[Mayor of Shivrashan|Lady Mayor]], but gradually assumed greater power. It is lead by the [[Chief Trader of Shivrashan|Chief Trader]]. As the name implies, it originally contained only representation from the traders and merchants. Today, however, there is universal suffrage.

The basic numerals, uninflected, are used for the cardinal numbers. To form ordinals, gender prefixes and appropriate number- and case-suffixes are added. == Basic Numerals == *1 - Tā *2 - Kabi (ordinal form: chībi, nābi, etc.) *3 - Flī *4 - Vandu *5 - Daç *6 - Mandu *7 - Zaba *8 - Dabi *9 - Fafli *10 - Kāz *11 - Yanu *12 - Nadu == Multiples of Twelve == *24 - Kannadu *36 - Jījī *48 - Chendu *60 - Daçendu *72 - Jenkadu *120 - Kaznadu Other multiples of twelve are formed by adding -ndu (contracted from ''nadu'') to the basic numeral, thus 84 (seven dozen) is ''zabandu'' == Compounding == The basic way to form large numbers up to 143 is to combine a multiple of twelve with a single-digit number. For example, decimal 20 (duodecimal 18) is ''nadudabi''. ''Flī'', and ''kāz'' shorten the stem-vowel in compounds, ''daç'' and ''zaba'' become, respectively, -sshi and -zba. ''Tā'' and ''kabi'' are a bit more complicated. They are shortened to, respectively, ''ta'' and ''bi'' while lengthening the preceding vowel. Thus, 13 = 12 + 1 = nadūta; 14 = 12 + 2 = nadūbi. == 37 - 47 == ''Jiijii'' is somewhat irregular with compounsd *37 (36 + 1) - Jījata *38 (36 + 2) - Jījekkabi *41 (36 + 5) - Jījīdaç *43 (36 + 7) - Jījīzaba *47 (36 + 11) - Jījiçanu Others are as expected == 144 and Higher == The number for 144 is ''saçā''. Multiples are formed by prefixing the basic numeral (shortened in the case of ''tā'', ''flī'', and ''kāz'') to ''saçā'', which becomes -sshā after vowel-final numbers. 720 (144*5) is ''daçesshā''. Multiples of 144 do not compound with smaller numbers, e.g., 200 = 144 + 48 + 8 = saçā chendudabi 1,728 (12<sup>3</sup>) is ''zanta'', ''-zanchi'' with multipliers 20,736 (12<sup>4</sup>) is ''kapalta''; ''-kapalchi'' or ''-palchi'' plus lengthening with multipliers 429,981,696 (12<sup>8</sup>) is ''tasanna''; ''-ssanni'' or ''-tasanni'' with multipliers Saçā and zanta can be used themselves as multipliers. For example, 247,669,456,896 (400,0000,0000 in duodecimal) would be ''vandosshātasanni'' [[Category:Classical Kasshian|Numbers]] [[Category:Lexica]] File:Fullstopperiod.png 4175 23452 2007-07-17T16:35:38Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Ellipsisperiod.png 4176 23453 2007-07-17T16:36:56Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Questionperiod.png 4177 23454 2007-07-17T16:37:15Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Exclamationperiod.png 4178 23455 2007-07-17T16:37:29Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Interrobangperiod.png 4179 23456 2007-07-17T16:37:45Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Abstractperiod.png 4180 23457 2007-07-17T16:38:07Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Exclamationembark.png 4181 23458 2007-07-17T16:40:04Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Questionembark.png 4182 23459 2007-07-17T16:40:29Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Interrobangembark.png 4183 23460 2007-07-17T16:40:46Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Abstractembark.png 4184 23461 2007-07-17T16:41:18Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Communistleader2.jpg 4185 23465 2007-07-18T15:18:16Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Demopunctuation.png 4186 23469 2007-07-18T16:35:47Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Democolon.png 4187 23471 2007-07-18T16:58:00Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Democolon2.png 4188 23472 2007-07-18T16:58:19Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Andersonumlaut.png 4189 23475 2007-07-18T17:56:44Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Font2.ttf 4190 23479 2007-07-18T18:15:03Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Font1.ttf 4191 23480 2007-07-18T18:16:31Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Windowsvistapiscean.jpg 4192 23494 2007-07-19T16:14:01Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Translitorigin.jpg 4193 23495 2007-07-19T16:14:16Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Translitanderson.jpg 4194 23496 2007-07-19T16:14:30Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Keyboardlayout.jpg 4195 23504 2007-07-19T17:51:52Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 Neo-Khitanese Lexicon 4196 43629 2009-02-27T19:43:02Z Kuroda 171 deleted vowel length marking to better reflect native orthography ==Numerals== ''Multiplicative'' forms measure quantities: "X times as much; X-fold; of X parts; double, triple, quadruple".

What I give below is strictly for human bodies; there's often special terminology for talking about the analogous parts of different animals. Body-part terminology shows a lot of irregular plurals (duals, one could argue), and even some odd singular forms where the default is plural/dual. There's a fairly distinct register of "baby speech" which I've included here. The orthography is the sort used in native typography; no distinction of front/back "i" vowels or of vowel length; note that {c, j} = alveopalatal affricates [tS], [dZ].

Several are themselves loanwords from African, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and American languages, but only entered Kilda through Portuguese and more rarely Spanish contacts. As mentioned on CONLANG/ZBB, I'd appreciate input from those knowledgable about the phonetics of early modern Portuguese (or with the topic in general) to advise and correct. I've included the modern Kilda meaning of the term where it's significantly different from either the archaic or the modern Portuguese sense. Regarding how Kilda phonology would color borrowings, see the main Kilda page, but a few other points: stress is always word-initial unless there's a long vowel in the word, in which case it falls on the first long vowel; accordingly, Portuguese words with non-initial stress were perceived as having long vowels in their stressed syllable. /-m/ is a strongly dispreferred word-final consonant in Kilda. There's no voiced 'hushing' sibilant, /ʒ/ to correspond to the voiceless /ʃ/. /s/ is always [ʃ] before a high front vowel. Kilda voiceless stops are strongly aspirated, more than Portuguese ones; accordingly, (non-initial?) voiceless stops in Portuguese were borrowed as voiced stops in Kilda. * P. abacati > ''bagadï'' /'bagadɪ/ "avocado" * P. abacaxi > ''bagasï'' /'bagaʃɪ/ "pineapple" * P. adufe > ''düfi'' /'duɸi/ "tp. of tambourine/frame drum" * P. amendoim > ''mendön'' /mən'do:n/ "peanut" * P. armada > ''armad'' /aɹ'ma:d/ "fleet, flotilla" * P. armazém > ''armajïn'' /aɹma'ʤɪ:n/ "shipping warehouse" * P. âncora > ''oŋgōr'' /ɔŋ'gɔ:ɾ/ "anchor" * P. baju > ''bašu'' /'baʃʊ/ "blouse, light jacket" * P. banana > ''bana'' /'bana/ "banana" (reinterpreted as containing a collective number suffix; K. plural of ''bana'' is ''banal'', "bunch of bananas" is ''bananal'') * P. bandolim > ''bandulïn'' /ban'dʊ:ɬɪn/ "mandolin, cittern" * P. batata > ''badada'' /'badada/ "potato" * P. bolo "ball" > ''bölö'' /'boɬo/ "tiny round cake or ball-shaped pastry" * P. bomba > ''bombo'' /'bɔmbɔ/ "pump" * P. cadeira > ''kadêra'' /'kadɛʲɾa/ "armchair" * P. calçada > ''kalsad'' /'kaɬsad/ "pavement, sidewalk" * P. cama > ''kama'' /'kama/ "bedframe, framed bed" * P. camisa > ''kamïsïk'' /'kamɪʃɪk/ "shirt opening in front and closed by buttons" (with K. nominal derivational suffix) * P. campo > ''Kampu'' /'kampʊ/ "neighborhood in the Winter Capital [Petropavlovsk], site of the original Portuguese trading enclave" * P. canequim > ''kanïgïn'' /'kanɪgɪn/ "plain linen, percale, calico" * P. caralho > ''karalu'' /'kaɾaɮʊ/ "crow's nest (on a ship)" * P. caramelo/caramel > ''karamïl'' /'kaɾamɪɬ/ "caramel" * P. cartas de jogar > ''kartas'' /'kaɹtas/ "card game" * P. casado > ''kašadïn, kašadumnï'' /'kaʃadɪn, 'kaʃadʊmnɪ/ (adj., n.)

Its purpose is to serve as an interlingua for speakers of Germanic languages. Therefore, the design of Sprak is as simple and regular as possible, keeping as many characteristica of Germanic languages as possible. Sprak and its naturalistic approach may be compared with Interlingua (based on Romance languages) and Slovio (based on Slavonic languages). == Grammar == Not every grammatical feature of Germanic languages appears in Sprak. For example, there is no conjugation of verbs, like in English (it ''is'', I ''am'', we ''are'', vs. it ''er'', ik ''er'', wi ''er'') and no capitalization of nouns like in [[High German|German]]. On the other hand, Sprak has strong verbs (''ik sing'', ''ik sang'', ''ik hav songen'' - ''I sing'', ''I sang'', ''I have sung''). It is correct to use weak forms only, though (''ik sing'', ''ik singed'', ''ik hav singed''). == Vocabulary == The vocabulary is based on Protogermanic roots that still exist in modern Germanic vocabulary, for example the Protogermanic root ''bok'' (''German'' '''Buch''', ''Dutch'' '''boek''', ''English'' '''book''', ''Danish'' '''bog''', ''Swedish'' '''bok'''). The respective word in Sprak is ''bok''. In other cases a common change of phonemes is taken into account in Sprak. For instance, the word ''sprak'', the name of the language, means ''language'' (''German'' '''Sprache''', ''Dutch'' '''spraak''', cf. ''English'' '''speech''', ''Danish'' '''språg'''). Its Protogermanic root is ''spræk'', and since since none of the source languages has kept the Protogermanic vowel ''æ'', it will not be kept in Sprak either. The vocabulary includes many loan words as well, especially Latin and Greek words. == Orthography == Sprak uses only the English alphabet. Yet another way of writing in Sprak is ''Spræk''. Spræk uses many diacritical letters in order to represent sound shifts of Protogermanic roots. For example, the Protogermanic root ''fulk'' (''German'' '''Volk''', ''Dutch'' '''volk''', ''English'' '''folk''', ''Danish'' '''folk''') is ''folk'' in Sprak. Its representation in Spræk is ''fůlk'', where the ring above the ''u'' indicates the shift from ''u'' to ''o'' (in most cases, a Protogermanic ''u'' doesn't change at all in Sprak). == Related work == * [[Folkspraak]] * [[Folksprak]] * [[Folksprâk]] * [[Middelsprake]] * [[Westsprak]] * [[Norsprak]] * [[Westersprak]] == Links == * [http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Folksprak Wikibook about Folksprak ''german''] * [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/folkspraak/ yahoo group about Folkspraak and other dialects] * [http://www.susning.nu/Folkspraak Folkspraak (''schwedish'')] * [http://www.geocities.com/folkspraak/ Folkspraak-Page] * [http://www.tidingkonien.com/drupal/ ''TidingKonien'' – News, poems and more in Folkspraak and other dialects] File:Andersoncolon.png 4199 23555 2007-07-20T15:47:03Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Andersonsemicolon.png 4200 23556 2007-07-20T15:47:19Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Umlautalef.png 4201 23557 2007-07-20T15:50:00Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Andersonapostrophe.png 4202 23559 2007-07-20T15:56:22Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Pilcrow.png 4203 23560 2007-07-20T15:56:37Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 Spræk 4204 23564 2007-07-20T18:52:58Z Stephan Schneider 732 Redirecting to [[Sprak]] #REDIRECT [[Sprak]] User:Stephan Schneider 4205 23569 2007-07-20T18:59:28Z Stephan Schneider 732 New page: Inventor of Sprak.

It is similiar to Ancient Greek in terms of phonology and Finnish in terms of morphology. - THIS PAGE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. == Phonology == === Vowels === '''Phonemes''' /a e i o u y/ <a e i o u y> '''Allophony''' All vowels have a lax counterpart: /a/ - [ɐ], /e/ - [ɛ], /i/ - [ɪ], /o/ - [ɔ], /u/ - [ʊ] and /y/ - [ʏ]. Lax vowels appear instead of the tense ones # always in closed syllables; e.g. emnathon ["ɛm.nɐ.tʰɔn] # in the syllable following a stressed vowel; e.g. Thesome["tʰe.zɔ.mɛ] # in the last syllable of a word; e.g. deromi ["de.ɾɔ.mɪ] Word final [ɛ] may be realised as [ə] in fast speech: Thesome /"tʰe.zɔ.mə/ When the penultimate syllable is stressed, the vowel is usually pronounced longer; contrast deromi ["de.ɾɔ.mɪ] with derthi ["dɛ:ɾ.tʰɪ] === Diphthongs === '''Phonemes''' /aɪ eɪ ɔɪ aʊ/ <ai ei eu/oi au> /ɔɪ/ is written <eu> in the first syllable of a word, <oi> anywhere else; probably a sound change that has occurred in an earlier stage but that has been undone. '''Glide Insertion''' When another vowel follows a diphthong, # in formal speech diphthongs ending in /ɪ/ add a /j/-glide before the next vowel whereas after /aʊ/ a /w/ is added. # in colloquial speech diphthongs become (long) monophthongs with a glide onset on the following syllable. E.g. andromeía: 1. [ɐn.dɾo."meɪ.jɐ] 2. [ɐn.dɾo."me:.jɐ] and Sauos: 1. [saʊ.wɔs] 2. [sa:.wɔs] === Consonants === '''Phonemes''' Plosives: /p pʰ b t tʰ d k kʰ g/ < p ph b t th d k kh g> Fricatives: /f s x h/ <f s ch h> Nasals: /m n/ <m n> Liquid: /ɾ l/ <r l> '''Allophony''' The voiced stops /b d/ may be softened to [v ð] between vowels: eudein ["ɔɪ.ðeɪn] /k kʰ g/ are usually pronounced [c cʰ ɟ] before the vowels /e i y/. /s/ becomes [z] in the onset cluster sm- (pronounced [zm]) and between vowels: contrast thesomi ["tʰe.zɔ.mɪ] with thesthi ["tʰɛ:s.tʰɪ] Nasals, if preceding plosives, assimilate to the latter's point of articulation (with the exception of compounds). === Stress === Stress usually falls on the antepenultimate syllable. If stress falls on any other syllable, it is marked with an acute accent (which is placed on the second part of a diphthong). If the penultimate syllable is stressed, it is pronounced longer than usual. E.g. mnathygata [mna."tʰy.gɐ.tɐ] mnathygataí [mna.tʰy.ga."taɪ] mnathygatánen [mna.tʰy.ga."ta:.nɛn] === Syllables === '''Onset''' Any single consonant Plosive + Liquid: pr-, phr-, br-, pl-, phl-, bl- etc. /f/ or /x/ + Voiceless Plosive (except Bilabials): ft-, fth-, cht-, chth- etc. /s/ + /m/ or Voiceless Plosive: sm-, sp-, sph-, st- etc. /p/ or /k/ + /t/: pt-, kt- /m/ + /n/: mn- '''Nucleus''' Any vowel or diphthong. '''Coda''' Except for the word's final syllable, any consonant except /h/ is allowed. Word finally, only /ɾ/, /l/, /n/, /s/ and /t/ are used. === Morphophonology === '''Vowels and Diphthongs''' Also have a look at allophony of simple vowels and glide-insertion after diphthongs, which were discussed before (under section 1.1 and 1.2). The diphthong /eɪ/ changes in formal speech commonly if preceeded or followed by a syllable with the same nucleus /eI/ (except when there are no consonant between the two nuclei). Whether the first or second diphthong changes, depends on the stress: *When the second diphthong is not stressed, its /eɪ/ changes /i/. *When the second diphthong is stressed, the preceding diphthong changes to /e/. These changes aren't usually written. {| class="wikitable" ! 2nd /ei/ || unstressed || stressed |- | Thesome || '''smeidein''' || '''smeideí''' |- | Pronunciation || zmeɪdɪn || zmedeɪ |- | Meaning || ''I fear'' || ''he fears'' |} '''Consonants''' Especially /tʰ/ is prone to many changes. /tʰ/ > [s] / C_ (C=voiceless stop), e.g. hekthi > heksi /ntʰ/, /mtʰ/ > [s], e.g. famthi > fasi, helenthi > helesi /tʰ/ > ø / CC_, e.g. lapsthi > lapsi /tʰ/ > [s] / _#, e.g. eude:thi > eudeith > eudeis /m/ > [n] / _#, e.g. eude:mi > eudeim > eudein F > ø / _s (F=fricative/sonorant), e.g. lalsme > lasme, thessme > thesme, kerofsme > kerosme /h/ > [ɪ] / e_V, e.g. ehelenthe:mi > eieleseín, ehekthe:thi > eiekseís /l/ > ø / r_, e.g. farlje > fairle > faire ø > o / C_m (unless the previous syllable contains /o/, e.g. lalmi > lalomi, but kerofmi > kerofmi == Morphology == === Verbal Morphology === ==== Personal Endings ==== With verbs, Thesome distinguishes four persons, three tenses, four numbers and two genera verbi. '''Persons''' *1st person: the speaker(s): I, we *2nd person: the adressee(s): you *3rd person: other(s): he, she, they *NC (Noun Compound): used when the subject is a noun '''Tenses''' *Present: reports things that happen now *Past: reports things that happened in the past *Future: reports things that will happen in the future '''Numbers''' *Singular: denoting singularity *Paucal: denoting only a part of a previous mentioned group *Dual: denoting duality *Plural: denoting many or all '''Genera Verbi''' *Active *Passive Thesome verbs are usually grouped in three Classes, which themselves have Subcategories depending on the last sound of the verbal stem. To the first Class belong verbs whose stem ends in the vowel '''e''' (e.g. '''eude-''' ''to see'', '''smeide-''' '' to fear''), to the second Class verbs whose stem ends in a diphthong (e.g. '''tleu-''' ''to drink''), a consonant (e.g. '''helen-''' ''to sing'' or '''kerof-''' ''to write'') or a consonant cluster (e.g. '''laps-''' ''to sleep'') and to the third Class belongs the irregular verb '''ei-''' ''to be''.

Exceptions are endings that start with a vowel (3rd Person Singular '''-eí''', 3rd Person Plural '''eíen''' and NC '''-én''') - here, the stem-final vowel '''e''' is deleted before the Endings are attached. Another complication is that - due to soundchanges - the first and second Person Singular endings are '''-in''' and '''-is''', thus forming a diphthong with the stem-final vowel '''e''' (the developement can be described as follows: eudein < eudeim < eudemi; similarly eudeis < eudeith < eudethi). {| class="wikitable" | Active !align=center colspan="2"| Singular !align=center colspan="2"| Paucal !align=center colspan="2"| Dual !align=center colspan="2"| Plural |- ! 1st | eude'''in''' | ''I see'' | eude'''sme''' | ''some of us see'' | eude'''smet''' | ''we two see'' | eude'''men''' | ''we see'' |- ! 2nd | eude'''is''' | ''you see'' | eude'''sthe''' | ''some of you see'' | eude'''sthet''' | ''you two see'' | eude'''then''' | ''you see'' |- ! 3rd | eud'''eí''' | ''he sees'' | eude'''seí''' | ''some of them see'' | eude'''set''' | ''they two see'' | eud'''eíen''' | ''they see'' |- !

E.g. '''smeide-''' ''to fear'' > '''smeidein''' /zmeɪdɪn/ ''I fear'', '''smeideis''' /zmeɪdɪs/ ''you fear'', '''smeideí''' /zmedeɪ/ ''s/he fears'' and '''smeideíen''' /zmedeɪen/ ''they fear''. ===== Consonant Endings ===== Consonant Endings are attached to the verb's stem; they trigger, however, modifications, depending on the last sound of the verbal stem.

'''The Augment''' is - like in Ancient Greek - a vowel, '''e-''' which is prefixed to the stem. This leads to no difficulties with verbal stems beginning with a consonant (except h-) and verbal stems beginning with the vowel i- (thus forming the diphthong ei-). * der- > '''e'''der- * lal- > '''e'''lal- * thes- > '''e'''thes- * ir- > '''e'''ir- When the stem begins with the vowels a-, e- and o-, the augment becomes an infix '''i-''' (thus forming the diphthongs ai-, ei- and eu-). * ar- > '''ai'''r- * echt- > '''ei'''cht- * op- > '''eu'''p- Verbal stems beginning with eu- replace the diphthong with '''y-''', those beginning with h- replace the consonant with '''ei-'''. * eumath- > '''y'''math- * helen- > '''ei'''elen- Verbal stems beginning with any other diphthong than eu- (ai-, ei- or au-) and those beginning with the vowels u- or y- do not use the augment. * eib- > eib- * uk- > uk- '''The Dental Suffix''' is with the verbal stems that use the vocalic endings in present tense always '''-eth'''. * met- > emet'''eth-''' * eud- > yd'''eth-''' With the verbal stems using the consonantal endings in the present tense, the dental suffix usually corresponds to the ending of the 2SG without the final vowel '''-i'''. * lal- > elal'''th-''' (2SG: lalthi) * thes- > ethes'''th-''' (2SG: thesthi) * hek- > eiek'''s-''' (2SG: heksi) * helen- > eiele'''s-''' (2SG: helesi) * laps- > elaps- (2SG: lapsi) * eib- > eib- (2SG: eibi) One additional change in the past stem of verbal stems that occurs quite frequently (however, not always) is the change of an '''a''' to an '''e''' if in the syllable before the past tense dental suffix and followed by '''s''' (which may be part of the verbal stem or the past tense dental suffix itself). * gel'''a'''s- > egel'''e'''sth- * f'''a'''m- > ef'''e'''s- '''Some interesting tidbits that arise from these rules:''' *'''Thes-''' ''lie'' and '''thas-''' ''hear'' share the same past stem '''ethesth-'''. *'''Eibeí''' (from '''eib-''' ''stand'') means both ''he stands'' and ''he stood''. *'''Ukseí''' (from '''uk-''' ''free'') means both ''some of them free'' and ''he freed''. ===== Endings in the Past Tense ===== The Endings in the Past Tense are the Vocalic Endings of the Present Tense with the exception of the NC-ending, which - in Past Tense - is '''-és''' rather than Present Tense '''-én'''.

'''Sexes''' *Masculine: Used for male persons and male animals (when the latter's sex is being stressed), e.g. '''yleíon''' ''man'', '''mesos''' ''boy'' and '''eutlephon''' ''stallion''. *Feminine: Used for female persons and female animals (when the latter's sex is being stressed), e.g. '''androme''' ''woman'', '''meitle''' ''girl'' and '''aitlephis''' ''mare''. *Neuter: Used for animals (when their sex is unstressed), plants and objects (both concrete and abstract), e.g. '''tlephon''' ''horse''. '''Numbers''' *Singular: denoting singularity *Paucal: denoting only a part of a previous mentioned group *Dual: denoting duality *Plural: denoting many *Collective: denoting all '''Cases''' *Nominative: citation form; used for predicats, appositions and direct adress *Subjective: used as the subject of a verb *Accusative: used for direct objects *Genitive: used as posessors *Benefactive: used for the noun that gains profit from the action *Instrumental: used for instruments *Allative: used to express motion towards the noun *Ablative: used to express motion away from the noun The Stem that receives the case-affixes usually corresponds to the Accusative Singluar without the ending -en. ==== Masculine Declension ==== Masculine Nouns commonly end in the Nominative in a consonant ('''far''' ''king'', stem far-; '''mol''' ''male slave'', stem mol-), in '''-on''' ('''yleíon''' ''man'', stem yleí-) or '''-os''' ('''mesos''' ''boy'', stem mes-). Here follows the declension of '''far''' ''king''. The affixes are used here with a hyphen in order to let them be seen easier; in ordinary texts, no hyphen is used. {| class="wikitable" | !

Nouns beginning with any other vowel use tei- as prefix, thus: yleíon > NOM.PC teiyleí (< te-yleí), ACC.PC. tenyleí As can be seen above, the '''-on'''/'''-os''' ending of the NOM.SG. is lost, too, leading the the change of final '''-th''' > '''-s''' (teimnas from teimnath). ==== Feminine Declension ==== Feminine Nouns commonly end in the Nominative in '''-e''' ('''meitle''' ''girl''), '''-a''' ('''mnathygata''' ''mother'') or '''-is''' ('''ptosis''' ''wife''). Each of these three types has a slightly different declension in the singular, but they share endings in all other numbers. {| class="wikitable" | ! Singular (-e) ! Singular (-is) ! Singular (-a) !

The Subject may be * a noun, usually in Subjective case: '''Meitlé helenén.''' ''The girl sings.'' * a personal ending on the verb: '''Heleneí'''. ''She sings.'' The Predicate may be * a verb: '''Mesun helenén.''' ''The boy sings.'' * a noun, usually in Nominative case: '''Alafnon mesun.''' ''The boy is Alafnon.'' * an adjective: '''Glason mesun.''' ''The boy is handsome.'' === Agreement === One feature is the absence of agreement between a noun used as subject and verbal predicates: the noun stands in subjective case and the verb in the noun-compound form. {| class="wikitable" |- ! align="left" |Meitlé helenén. | The girl sings. ! align="left" |Mesun helenén. | The boy sings. |- ! align="left" |Meitlet helenén. | The two girls sing. ! align="left" |Mesy helenén. | The two boys sing. |- ! align="left" |Ilmeitlai helenén. | All girls sing. ! align="left" |Ilmesmai helenén. | All boys sing. |} When the predicate is an adjective, however, it agrees with the subject in '''number and sex'''. {| class="wikitable" |- ! align="left" |Glasis meitlé. | The girl is beautiful. ! align="left" |Glason mesun. | The boy is handsome. ! align="left" |Glas leison. | The house is beautiful. |- ! align="left" |Glaset meitlet. | The two girls are beautiful. ! align="left" |Glasoi mesy. | The two boys are handsome. ! | |- ! align="left" |Glaseía meitleíai. | The girls are beautiful ! | ! align="left" |Glasia leisia. | The houses are beautiful. |- ! align="left" |Ilglasai ilmeitlai. | All girls are beautiful. ! align="left" |Ilglasmai ilmesmai. | All boys are handsome. ! align="left" |Ilglasia illeisia. | All houses are beautiful. |} === Cases === ==== Nominative ==== The Nominative is used as predicate in "to be" sentences: '''Mesos Alafnus.''' ''Alafnon is a boy''. It is used for direct adress (Vocative): '''Mesos!''' ''Boy!'' It may be used in Passive sentences as Agent, when the Agent does not gain profit from the action: '''Mesos eudemai.''' ''I am seen by the boy.'' ==== Subjective ==== The Subjective is used as Subject in "to be" sentences: '''Mesos Alafnus.''' ''Alafnon is a boy.'' It is used as Subject in combination with the NC-verbal form: '''Alafnus Helenen eudén.''' ''Alafnon sees Helena.'' It is used for the Patient in Passive sentences: '''Alafnon Helené eudaí.''' ''Helena is seen by Alafnon.'' ==== Accusative ==== ==== Genitive ==== ==== Benefactive ==== ==== Instrumental ==== ==== Allative ==== ==== Ablative ==== === Numbers === ==== Singular ==== The Singular is used for single entities that are usually specified (and thus correspond roughly to Singular nouns with the English definite article ''the''). '''Mesen eudein.''' ''I see one/the boy.'' '''Leisemna parthomi.''' ''I go into one/the house.'' ==== Paucal ==== The Paucal is usually used to indicate a rather small group, although this is, of course, a very rough guideline; it somewhat corresponds to the English indefinite marker ''some''. '''Aleisan eudein.''' ''I see some houses.'' vs. '''Leisias eudein.''' ''I see many houses.'' The Paucal is also used to indicate only a part of the previously mentioned group: '''Teknias ydetheín meus ateknan ehkylastheín.''' ''I saw (many) lessons but I only learned some (of them).'' It is also used in the Nominative Case as Predicate to indicate unspecifiedness or the belonging to a larger group or class. Contrast: '''Aleisa pheresis.''' ''The school is a building.'' vs. '''Leison pheresis.''' ''The school is the building.'' ==== Dual ==== The Dual is usually used to denote two entities. '''Mesyn eudein.''' ''I see two boys.'' '''Meitletse eudein.''' ''I see two girls.'' The Nominative Dual is used as Predicative when two Singular Subjectives are present: '''Mesoi Alafnus Hektorunta.''' ''Alafnon and Hektor are (two) boys.'' When two people of a previous mentioned bigger group are to be expressed, usually the paucal and the numeral '''at''' ''two'' are used. '''Ilmesmain eudein meus tenmes at kalosmi.''' ''I see all the boys but I know (only) two of the boys.'' ==== Plural ==== ==== Collective ==== [[Category:Conlangs]] Piscean language 4226 27479 2007-12-12T16:30:20Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 [[Image:Language_tree.png|thumb|Language tree showing the partially naturalistic, partially synthetic, evolution of Piscean from Indo-European]] Piscean (Piscean: pisceesum) is the official language of the proposed New Piscean Workers' Nation, founded on the manmade island New Pisces - off the coast of western France - that is said to be created in 2028. Despite being the constructed language of Representative S.C. Anderson, Piscean is linguistically derived from Old English and modern German; however, it is written not with the Latin or runic alphabets, but with the 'pro-Phoenician' [[Andersonic_alphabet|Andersonic writing system]] devised in 2007. (For the purpose of this article, examples of Piscean will be transliterated into the Latin alphabet.) The official ancestor of Piscean is [[Old_Piscean_language|late Old Piscean]], which provided the foundation for the modern dialect that would take on even more influence from German, yet would also make Old English the dominant source. ==Pronunciation== Piscean uses the standard pronunciation of the Andersonic alphabet (see [[Andersonic alphabet#Letter-forms|here]]). Vowels are short if they are followed by a double consonant or long if they are followed by either a single consonant or no consonant, e.g. the I in 'icc' is pronounced like 'th'''i'''ck', noting the double C, whereas the I in 'bit' is pronounced like ''''ea'''t'. Note the exceptions: *E at the end of a Piscean word is equivalent to a schwa /ə/ like English 'winn'''er''''. *EN at the end of a Piscean word is equivalent to a schwa /ə/ followed by /n/ like English 'gard'''en'''' *JN at the beginning of a Piscean word is pronounced as EN - above *ER within a Piscean word is /ɛə/ like English 'h'''air'''' *EST within a Piscean word is /ɛ st/ like English 'b'''est'''' *EL within a Piscean word is /ɛ l/ like English 'h'''e'''lp' *AN at the end of a verb infinitive is /æ n/ like English 'b'''a'''n' *F as the initial or final letter of a Piscean word is /f/ as it is in English, but ... *F anywhere else inside a Piscean word is /v/ like English ''''v'''oice' ===Dipthongs and multigraphs=== Piscean also uses various dipthongs and multigraphs like letters in their own right, albeit not considered part of the alphabet. *ij /aɪ/ like 'k'''i'''te' *ow /aʊ/ like 'h'''ou'''se' *oj /ɔɪ/ like 'j'''oi'''n' *ee; aj; ej /eɪ/ like 'p'''ai'''n' *sch /ʃ/ like ''''sh'''op' *tsch /tʃ/ like ''''ch'''air' *scg /dʒ/ like 'e'''dge'''' ===Phonology=== ====Vowels==== [[Image:Piscean_vowels.png]] Vowels followed by a red mark are those sounds that are used if the vowel is followed by a double consonant. The blue mark next to the E indicates that the sound only appears as the final letter of a Piscean word. There are several dipthongs in Piscean, in addition to Ä, which behaves like a dipthong in the way it is a transition from one vowel sound to another. These are depicted below as maps, where the green lines portray the journeys of the sounds and the square indicates the destination sound. [[Image:Piscean umlaut.png]] [[Image:Piscean ee aj ej.png]] [[Image:Piscean ij.png]] [[Image:Piscean oj.png]] [[Image:Piscean ow.png]] ====Consonants==== [[Image:Piscean_consonants.png]] ====Stress==== Stress in Piscean usually falls on the first syllable, with the following exceptions: *Verbs of the '-eeran' group receive stress on their penultimate syllable. *Similarly, nouns of the '-eerung' group receive stress on their penultimate syllable. *Verbs beginning with the prefixes a-, ond-, bi-, for-, ge-, ofer-, on-, to-, un-, under-, ijmb-, of-, full-, fram-, in-, fort-, mid-, eefter-, befor-, eet-, ongän-, gäder-, feest-, efen- and jeond- receive stress on the first syllable that comes after the prefix. For example, in 'efen'''mac'''ian' ('to make equal'), the stress is placed on the syllable 'mac'. *Words in which vowels are marked with acute accents. These are commonly found in words to retain the stress from the original source language (if it differs from Piscean stress rules), especially names of countries, which have been derived from several languages. An acute accent marks the vowel that belongs to the stressed syllable. For exmaple, in 'Am'''ér'''ico' (America), the stress is placed on the syllable 'er'. In 'Scgi'''pún'''' (Japan), the stress is placed on 'pun'. ==Articles== The Piscean language includes three 'logical' grammatical genders. While in many languages, the genders do not often relate to physical properties of nouns, they do in Piscean; therefore, most nouns are neuter, while creatures of the male sex are masculine and creatures of female sex are feminine. If one refers to a creature, but does not wish to distinguish sex, the neuter gender can be used as a substitute. Observe the following examples: *teet Sunne - the sun (no sex, so neuter) *teet Mann - the person (no sex specified, so neuter) *se Mann - the man (male, so masculine) *seo Mann - the woman (female, so feminine) The above example shows the importance the article plays in Piscean of distinguishing between sexes in a language where one noun fits all. ===Definite article=== The definite article is inflected in various ways, firstly split into three depending on grammatical gender, then into six depending also on quantity - whether singular or plural - and finally into a further thirty depending on grammatical case - whether nominative, accusative, dative, genitive or instrumental. [[Image:definitearticle.png]] Those words highlighted with an asterisk follow irregular patterns. 'Enum' is a contraction arising from a rather complex - and now incorrect - 'teemenum'. 'Seäm' is a result of 'seoum', which is difficult for a Piscean speaker to pronounce. The O and U thus collapse into Ä. Similarly, 'som' is contrived, as 'säum' is awkward in speech, giving way instead to a collapse of Ä and U into O. ===Indefinite article=== The indefinite article (in English, 'a/an') is inflected in much the same way as the definite article, but lacking plural forms (which are shown not with an article, merely by inflecting the noun itself). [[Image:indefinitearticle.png]] Those words highlighted with an asterisk follow irregular patterns. 'Een', 'eem', 'ees' and 'eum' are contracted forms of 'aneen', 'aneem', 'anees' and 'aneum', respectively. Regarding the feminine irregularities, 'änoen', 'änoem', 'änoes' and 'änoum' first contracted to 'oen', 'oem', 'oes' and 'oum', but - for even easier pronunciation - the O (and E, where applicable) finally collapsed into the dipthong IJ, which sounds like the English word 'eye'. ==Cases and prepositions== Piscean implements five cases: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive and instrumental. Anderson affirms that these have greatly important and stylistic purposes. ===Nominative=== This case is used for the subject of the sentence (i.e. the noun doing the verb) and as a complement after: 'bean' ('to be'), 'weortan' ('to become') and 'hatan' ('to be called'). ===Accusative=== This case is used for the direct object (i.e. the noun having the verb done to it/them) and after certain prepositions: *to (for) *ijmbe (around) *geond (through) *ot (until) *butan (without) *wider (contrary to) *on (against) *betwix (among) *tonne (than) *ofer (during) *abreotan (failing) *folgian (following) *gelice (like) *minus (minus) *nahtmidstandan (notwithstanding) *plus (plus) *belimpan (regarding) *geondut (throughout) *mal (times) *togänes (towards) *ungelice (unlike) *fortonan (because of) *tonteetan (in order that) *leesan (in case of) *interessan (on behalf of) The accusative case allows for flexible sentence structure that can place emphasis on a certain word by changing its location, yet retaining original meaning. For example: *Se Hund bit sen Mann - The dog bites the man *Sen Mann bit se Hund - The dog bites the man Both of the above Piscean sentences have the same translation into English. On first glance, an English speaker might confuse the second example as 'the man bites the dog', although this is because the object comes before the subject. Because the word 'Mann' is preceded by the accusative article and 'Hund', by the nominative, those skilled in Piscean can easily deduce the sentence's meaning. Meanwhile, the first example places emphasis on the subject, while the second places greater emphasis on the object. ===Dative=== This case is used for the indirect object (i.e. the noun receiving or being given/sent/lent something); note that in this usage, there is no requirement to translate the word 'to' from English to Piscean: *Icc geef hit sem Leerere - I give it (to) the teacher The 'to' is not translated because it is suggested by the dative case ('sem'). When one goes to a place, that place is technically 'receiving' one, so the dative case is used when referring to travel. For example: *Icc far teem Larenhus - I go to the school; I go to school Note that proper nouns (that don't take an article) can also be inflected to reflect case: *Lundenburg - London (nominative) *Lundenburg'''en''' - London (accusative) *Lundenburg'''em''' - London (dative) *Lundenburg'''es''' - London (genitive) *Lundenburg'''um''' - London (instrumental) The action of going to London would involve the dative case: *Icc far Lundenburgem - I go to London It is also used after certain prepositions: *eet (at) *ut (outside) *fram (from) *ofer (about) *eefter (after/according to) *ongän (opposite) *sittan (since) *butan (except) *mid (with) *behionan (alongside) *rittlingan (astride) *beforan (before) *gehende (near) *escgan (aslant [into]) ===Genitive=== This case is used to denote possession or ownership. 'The man's car' translates literally as 'the car of the man', but without any word for 'of'. *Teet Äto ses Mann - the man's car (the car of the man) To put proper nouns into the genitive case: if the noun ends in a consonant, add 'es'; if the nound ends in a vowel or Y, add 's'. For example: *Teet Rum Seanes - Sean's room (the room of Sean) *Teet Deejweorc Gaynores - Gaynor's job (the job of Gaynor) ===Instrumental=== The first use of the instrumental case is to replace words such as 'with' and 'by' in English in the context that they mean 'by means of' - in other words, to indicate that the noun in question is an 'instrument'. Usually, the instrumental case is not used with an article, unless for emphasis; therefore, the noun itself must be inflected. Despite the rule in Piscean that all nouns begin with a capital letter, when in the instrumental case, this capital is dropped. If a noun ends in a consonant, one must add 'um' to make it instrumental; if a noun ends in a vowel, one must add 'num'. *Teet Bän - the train *Icc far bänum - I go (by) train *Teet Culi - the pen *Icc writ culinum - I write (with a) pen The second use of the instrumental case is to denote belonging, belief or status. When the noun is inflected, it can become similar to an adjective: *Englaland - England *Icc bee englalandum - I am English *Icc sprec englalandum - I speak English *Commjunizmäs - communism *Icc bee commjunizmäsum - I am communist ===Irregular prepositions=== The third group of prepositions are designated no specific case. They are followed by accusative if they describe where something/things ''travel'' or dative if they describe where something/things ''already is/are''. For example: *Icc far in teen Rum - I go into [the room] (accusative) *Icc bee in teem Rum - I am in [the room] (dative) The following prepositions are applied in this manner: *in (in/into) *behindan (behind) *bufan (on top of) *eetforan (in front of) *bee (on, e.g. the wall; along) *oter (next to) *ofer (over/above; across) *betweonan (between) *under (under) *needrigan (below) *begeondan (beyond) *dun (down) *up (up/upon) *hinter (past) *bordan (aboard) ===Inflection of various words to reflect case=== The above information uses the definite article as a demonstration of inflection to represent case. However, the indefinite article, nouns, adjectives and possessive pronouns can also be inflected. If there is a definite or indefinite article present, these must be inflected: *Icc habb '''teen''' Culi - I have the pen *Icc habb '''anen''' Culi - I have a pen *Icc habb '''anen''' goden Culi - I have a good pen (note that only the indefinite article is inflected to reflect case; the adjective is inflected to reflect its status as a quasi-modifier; only one part of speech should be inflected to reflect case) If there are no definite or indefinite articles present, inflect the possessive pronoun (if there is one) and then nothing else: *Hit brecede '''meenen''' Culi - it broke my pen *Hit brecede '''meenen''' goden Culi - it broke my good pen (remember that only one word is inflected to reflect case - here: meenen; inflection of the possessive pronoun is preferable over that of the adjective) If there are no articles or possessive pronouns present, inflect the adjective (if there is one) and then nothing else: *Icc habb '''goden'n''' Culie - I have good pens To inflect a quasi-modifier adjective to reflect the accusative case, add '-'n' to it. (This is actually a contraction of '-en' to aid pronunciation; i.e. 'godenen' > 'goden'n'.) The final N is classed as a silent letter, but in spoken Piscean, it indicates that the vocal emphasis should be placed on the last syllable, regardless of where in the word it is usually placed: 'goden = 'GOD-en', whereas 'goden'n' = 'god-EN'. To reflect all other cases, use those endings demonstrated in the 'Lundenburg' example. Tinte in '''godenem''' Culie - ink in good pens ('godenem' reflects dative case, with '-em' suffix) If there are no other inflectable words available, one must inflect the noun itself. For the accusative case: if the noun ends in '-e', add '-n'n' and if the noun ends in '-en', add '-'n'. For any other case: if the noun ends in a vowel, add '-n-', plus the relevant suffix (see the 'Lundenburg' example); if the noun ends in a consonant, just add the relevant suffix. Icc habb '''Informaxionen'n''' - I have information ==Pronouns== Pronouns in Piscean bear little resemblance to those in either Old English or German. This is because Anderson, Editor of the Piscean Lexicon, deemed their pronouns 'incompatible with the style and rules of the language'. Therefore, a new set of pronouns has been contrived, each with three inflections: pronoun, possessive and reflexive. (Note that, in Piscean, when the reflexive pronoun is referred to, it can be either reflexive or objective: in Piscean, both are the same.) [[Image:Pisceanpronoun.png]] Below are demonstrations of how the different forms are used: *Icc bee an Lingwist - I am a linguist (pronoun) *Meen Boc - My book (possessive pronoun) *Icc feorme mir - I wash myself (pronoun and reflexive pronoun) *Frignan naht mir - Don't ask me (reflexive [objective] pronoun) To say words such as 'mine', 'yours' and 'theirs' in Piscean, find the pronoun that corresponds and use the possessive form of its Piscean equivalent. For example: *Teet bee meen! - that is mine! (literally, 'that is my!') *Teet bee jor - that is yours (literally, 'that is your') Note that the word 'eem' ('one') can be translated either as 'people in general', 'everyone' or 'anyone': *Eem cunn teet doan - Everyone/anyone can do that Finally, the word 'noht' ('nothing') can also be translated as 'nobody': *Noht cunn teet doan - Nothing/nobody can do that ==Verbs== Verbs in Piscean are organised into five classes and each, where appropriate, is further conjugated depending on quantity and/or tense. ===Infinitive=== This is the verb class that one would find in a Piscean dictionary. All verbs end in either '-an' or '-ian' when infinitive. *bean - to be *habban - to have *feormian - to clean *Feoh - money *[Feoh habban] bee eem! - [To* have money] is everything! Observe that an SVO (subject-verb-object) word order is used alongside the infinitive. Money is the subject of the sentence, which comes before the infinitive verb. *The infinitive verb class notably eliminates the need to translate the word 'to' from English to Piscean. *magan - to like *plejan - to play *Compjuter - computer *Icc mag [compjuterum plejan] - I like [to play on the computer] The above example demonstrates the use of the infinitive after an auxiliary verb, such as 'magan', which must use a second verb to clarify meaning; in this case, 'plejan'. ===Imperative=== Imperative verbs express direct commands, requests and prohibitions. The imperative is formed with an infinitive verb in conjunction with the nominative case, a VSO (verb-subject-object) word order and exclamation marks around the sentence (the first of which is only apparent when writing in the Andersonic alphabet). *macian - to do/to make *Macian jor Huslarenweorc! - Do your homework! (In Piscean, the exclamation mark is compulsory, while it is optional in English, often used only for emphasis) *faran - to go *Faran in Bedd! - Go to bed! The exclamation marks supposedly indicate the natural intonation that is used for the imperative mood in spoken Piscean. ===Indicative=== The indicative verb is the most common in the Piscean language, used for factual statements and positive beliefs. It is further split into non-past and past tenses. ====Non-past singular==== This branch of the Piscean indicative mood is used to refer to events that are actively in progress or that haven't yet happened: either the present or future. The singular form, as opposed to non-past plural, is used for the following pronouns: *icc (I) *ja (you [for one person]) *tee (they [for one person]) *hee (he) *zee (she) *hit (it) *...and after singular nouns To form the present, one must create a stem from a verb infinitive. For verbs that end in '-an', this ending must be removed, leaving the stem. *habban - to have *Icc habb - I have/I am having For verbs that end in '-ian', this ending must be replaced with '-e'. *macian - to make *Icc mace - I make/I am making *Icc mace Cucen'n - I make cakes (Present uses subject-verb-object word order) To form the future, follow the noun or pronoun always with 'will' - as an auxiliary verb - and then include the essential verb in its infinitive mood. *habban - to have *Icc will habban - I will have/I will be having *Icc will Eefenwisten habban - I will have dinner (Future uses subject-(aux verb)-object-verb word order) ====Non-past plural==== This used for the same purpose as the non-past singular, but applies to only the following pronouns: *wee (we) *jam (you [for more than one person]) *teem (they [for more than one person]) *eem (one) *noht (nothing) *...and after plural nouns To form the present, one must create a stem as in the instructions for the non-past singular. If the stem ends in a consonant, add '-en' to alter it to the non-past plural. If the stem ends in '-e', simply add '-n'. *habban - to have *Wee habben - we have/we are having *Wee habben Eefenwisten - we have dinner Form the future using 'willen' after the noun or pronoun along with the essential verb in its infinitive form. *Wee willen habban - we will have/we will be having *Wee willen Eefenwisten habban - we will have dinner ====Past singular==== The same rules as the nonpast singular apply, except for one additional step. If the stem ends in a consonant, add '-ede'; if the stem ends in '-e', add '-de'. *Icc habb - I have *Icc habbede - I had/I have had *Icc bee - I am *Icc beede - I was/I have been *Icc writ - I write *Icc writede - I wrote/I have written *Icc writede anen Boc - I wrote a book/I have written a book ====Past plural==== The same rules as the past singular apply, but '-n' must be added. *Icc habbede - I had/I have had (singular) *Wee habbeden - we had/we have had (plural) *Wee beeden *Wee writeden ===Interrogative=== Verbs in inflected in this manner if they are used to ask questions. The interrogative mood not normally issued with a pronoun, but if context does not make the addressee clear, a pronoun - or, indeed, noun - can be included after the interrogative verb. ====Non-past==== For the present: firstly, create a stem according to aforementioned instructions. If it ends in a consonant, add '-est' to make it interrogative; if it ends in '-e', add '-st'. *Habbest? - do you have/are you having? *Writest? - do you write/are you writing? *Macest? - do you make/are you making? *Habbest anen Culi? - do you have a pen? (Interrogative present uses verb-subject-object word order) For the future, always use the interrogative verb 'willest', with the essential verb in infinitive form inverted to the end of the sentence. *Willest habban? - will you have/will you be having? *Willest writan? - will you write/will you be writing? *Willest macian? - will you make/will you be making? *Willest anen Culi habban? - will you have a pen? (Interrogative future uses (aux verb)-subject-object-verb word order) ====Past==== To form the interrogative past, inflect the verb as in the indicative past singular, then add '-st'. *Habbedest? - did you have/were you having? *Writedest? - did you write/were you writing? *Macedest? - did you make/were you making? *Habbedest anen Culi? - did you have a pen? ====Using the interrogative mood with nouns and pronouns, etc==== Begin the sentence with the interrogative, non-past or past, verb and follow it with the subject, then a comma, then the rest of the sentence. *Onbrejdest teet Geschäft, ta? - does the shop open, when? (When does the shop open?) *Onbrejdedest teet Geschäft, ta? - did the shop open, when? (When did the shop open?) ===Conditional=== The conditional mood is used to speak of an event whose realisation is dependent on a certain condition. ====Non-past==== First create a stem, as one would in the indicative present singular mood and then subject the first vowel in the stem to a vowel shift. Vowel shifts occur in a predefined manner, with one vowel mapping to another (refer to the section 'Vowel shifts'). *Icc bee an Lingwist - I am a linguist (indicative) *Icc bo an Lingwist - I would be a linguist (conditional - 'bee' has been subjected to a vowel shift, rendering it 'bo') *Se Hund bit - the dog bites/the dog is biting (indicative) *Se Hund bijt - the dog would bite (conditional) Note that when one puts 'cunn' ('can') into the conditional non-past mood, it changes its meaning to 'could'. Because this is an auxiliary verb, one must invert the essential verb, in its infinitive form, to the end of the sentence. *Se Hund cenn bitan - the dog could bite *Icc cenn an Lingwist bean - I could be a linguist If a situation requires a conditional verb to be inverted to the end of a sentence, it can be made into a quasi-infinitive. Add '-an' onto the end of the conditional stem. *Ta ja naht cut wikium boan - if you are not familiar with Wikis (when 'bo' becomes a quasi-infinitive, it is 'boan') ====Past==== To form the conditional past: firstly, follow the instructions for the conditional non-past to retrieve a conditional stem. If this stem ends in a vowel, add '-de'; if it ends in a consonant, add '-ede'. *Icc bode an Lingwist - I would have been a linguist *Se Hund bijtede - the dog would have bitten 'Cunn' ('can'), when put into the conditional past, means 'could have'. *Se Hund cennede bitan - the dog could have bitten *Icc cennede an Lingwist bean - I could have been a linguist ===='If' and 'when'==== The English words 'if' and 'when' are both translated as 'ta'. Usage of the indicative mood defines 'ta' as 'when', while usage of the conditional mood defines 'ta' as 'if'. *Ta icc far - when I go (indicative) *Ta icc fär - if I go (conditional) ===Jussive=== The jussive mood in Piscean is used to express plea, insistence, imploring, self-encouragement, wish and desire. ====Non-past==== One must use the conditional form of 'will' ('wijl') and the quasi-infinitive conditional form of the essential verb (subjected to vowel shift). *Se Hund wijl bijtan - the dog should bite *Icc wijl an Lingwist boan - I should be a linguist ====Past==== The jussive past is formed in a similar manner to the jussive non-past, but substituting the conditional past form of the essential verb for the quasi-infinitive form (subjected to vowel shift). *Se Hund wijl bijtede - the dog should have bitten *Icc wijl an Lingwist bode - I should have been a linguist ===Dubitative=== The dubitative mood expresses the speaker's doubt, uncertainty or speculation about the event denoted by the verb. ====Presumptive non-past==== This form of the dubitative indicates a presumption or possible event. *Hee bee in Californjenem - He is in California (indicative) *Hee beedog in Californjenem - He might be in California The suffix '-dog' is attached to the non-past singular form of verb. ====Presumptive past==== The presumptive past is the same as the presumptive non-past except that the suffix '-dog' is attached to the past singular form of verb. *Hee beededog in Californjenem - He might have been in California ====Assumptive non-past==== This form of the dubitative indicates an assumption or - at least what the speaker believes to be - a probable event. *Beedog hee in Californjenem - He must be in California It is similar to the presumptive, but requires a shift of syntax. While the presumptive requires SVO, the assumptive requires VSO, thus placing greater emphasis on the verb. ====Assumptive past==== This is similar to the assumptive non-past, but the suffix '-dog' must be attached to the past singular form of a verb. *Beededog hee in Californjenem - He must have been in California ===Vowel shifts=== Verbs in both the conditional and jussive moods undergo predetermined vowel shifts. In some cases, single vowels substitute for double ones (the vowel is 'strengthened'). *a > ä, any double consonants that follow change to single consonant e.g. 'habb' > 'häb' *e OR ee > o e.g. 'bee' > 'bo' *i > ij, any double consonants that follow change to single consonant e.g. 'bit' > 'bijt' *o > u e.g. 'do' > 'du' *u > e e.g. 'cunn' > 'cenn *ij > a e.g. 'hijd' > 'had' Even though IJ is not considered a vowel in its own right, but a dipthong, the two letters collapse into A. *eo > ue e.g. 'weorc' > 'wuerc' Not a vowel, but with the vowel shift, the letters are easier to pronounce than what they should be. *ä > eo e.g. 'bät' > 'beot' ===Voice=== Piscean has two voices for verbs: the active and the passive. The active form follows the basic SVO pattern, whereas the passive voice is derived by a shift of syntax, while retaining relevant cases. Observe *Icc see Bill - I see Bill *Bill see icc - Bill is seen by me *Bill see mir - Bill sees me *Mir see Bill - I am seen by Bill *Se Hund bit sen Mann - the dog bites the man *Sen Mann bit se Hund - the man is bitten by the dog *Se Mann bit sen Hund - the man bites the dog *Sen Hund bit se Mann - the dog is bitten by the man The English 'third voice' can also be translated using an artificial pronoun - 'jo' - (and the SVO word order) in Piscean. *Jo schnijd hänlic teen Bräd - the bread slices poorly (note that the bread itself is not slicing, but the phrase expresses that it can't be sliced easily) *Jo ciep god heen Romane - his novels sell well =='Bean' and 'zijan'== The Piscean language has a loan feature from Spanish: two verbs that can both be translated into English as 'to be'. The first of these, 'bean', describes the '''condition''' of something. Observe: *Teet Eepel bee grene - the apple is green (because it is unripe) This example speaks of the apple's condition. The apple is green, as it has not yet ripened. When the condition of the apple changes, it will no longer be green - it will be ripe. The second of the verbs, 'zijan', describes the '''essential characteristics''' of something. Observe: *Teet Eepel zij grene - the apple is green (by nature) In this case, the apple is green in colour and remains green even after it has ripened. Overall, 'bean' tells one '''how''' something is, whereas 'zijan' tells us '''what feature''' something has. *Icc bee mete - I am currently tired *Icc zij mete - I am generally tired *Icc bee feegen - I am currently happy *Icc zij feegen - I am generally happy *Zee bee ruhij - she's being quiet *Zee zij ruhij - she is introverted *Icc bee fus - I am ready *Icc zij fus - I'm ready for anything/I'm a quick thinker Note that when an irreversible change has occurred, 'bean' is still used. *Hee bee däd - he is (currently) dead *Teet Äto bee abreotede - the car is (currently) destroyed While this instruction may seem to contradict previous rules, it has a reason: in the examples, the person cannot be 'generally dead' and the car can't be 'generally destroyed'. The objects are not necessarily supposed to be that way and, as such, the adjectives describe their conditions. Note that in these situations, 'zijan' is still sometimes used for idioms. For example: *Hee zij däd - ''he is a dull and unresponsive person'' *Teet Äto zij abreotede - ''the car is falling to pieces'' ==Adjectives and adverbs== Adjectives in Piscean exist in two forms. The first is the sole stem of the adjective, forming a statement. In this case, the adjective always comes after the noun. *Teet Culi bee god - the pen is good *Teet Äto bee niwe - the car is new This form of adjective, when preceding or following a verb other than 'bean', also serves as an adverb. *Se Mann beede '''god''' gearcede - the man was '''well''' prepared The second occurs when the adjective modifies the noun. If this is the case, the adjective comes directly before the noun and is altered. *Teet goden Culi - the good pen *Teet niwen Äto - the new car To alter a modifying adjective that ends in an E, suffix '-n'. For one that ends in any other letter, add '-en'. ==Nouns== All nouns are capitalised in Piscean, clearly showing their function within a sentence. Like most Germanic languages, Piscean forms left-branching noun compounds, where the first noun modifies the category given by the second. For example: Hundenhutte (dog hut or doghouse). Unlike English, where newer compounds or combinations of longer nouns are often written in open form with separating spaces, Piscean always uses the closed form without spaces. For example: Treowenhus (tree house). Piscean compounds also assist in the differentiation of a compound adjective from two adjacent adjectives that each independently modify the noun. Compare the following examples: *Essijzoweren '''Zojrenlauzung''' - '''acid solution''' that is acetic > acetic acid solution *'''Essijzoweren Zojre''' Lauzung - solution of '''acetic acid''' > acetic-acid solution *'''Runden Beod''' Reedung - discussion held at the '''round table''' > round-table discussion *Runden '''Beodenreedung''' - '''table discussion''' that is round > round table discussion (note that this does not make sense) File:Language tree.png 4227 23736 2007-07-24T13:20:45Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Definitearticle.png 4228 23742 2007-07-24T16:12:15Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Indefinitearticle.png 4229 23744 2007-07-24T16:30:16Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 Eastern Seaboard 4230 23765 2007-07-25T05:16:37Z Denihilonihil 119 New page: The '''Eastern Seaboard''' of [[Arophania]] is a relatively fertile mountainous region on the east of the continent, criss-crossed by numerous rivers and of a varied climate, ranging from ...

The cape is also the site of the city of [[Tannea]], capital of the province, and which grew out of a 8th century [[CIE]] citadel: due to its strategic location overlooking the strait so vital to international trade, the cape, along with its counterpart on the southern shore 16km away, [[Cape Somorra]], has always been strongly fortified.

The cape is best known as the location of [[Isphea]], the old capital of the [[Areth]] [[Lazeian Empire]], and for its unusual geography as the mouth of the [[Taphae-Nes river]], which has eroded away most of the hard rock that used to make up the cape, leaving only the headrock, and depositing softer sediment in its place. Like its counterpart on [[Marcasia]]n coast, [[Cape Beytes]], Somorra is well defended, both for its strategic location on the vital and lucrative strait, and for its unique position, as the site of the old imperial capital and as part of the traditional [[Areth]] cultural, political and economic heartland.

While dialects may differ as to the exact quality of the vowel&mdash;some have ''-e-'', others ''-o-'', others a schwa, and still others a variable vowel identical to the previous or next vowel, depending on whether the negation is prefixal or suffixal&mdash;the consonant is in all cases the voiced labiodental fricative. ==Classical Arithide== In [[Classical Arithide]], ''av'' was a flexible suffix, attaching not only to verbs, but also to nouns in negation, expressing by its mere position the negation of different elements in a sentence. Thus, for example, the sentence ''izō nosum surit'' "(He) stole the money yesterday" has the following negations: #''Izō nosum surit'''''av'''''.<br>money.ACC yesterday.LOC steal.PAST.NEG<br>'''Regular verbal negation.''' This sentence is almost as ambiguous as the English, except that it is unambiguous that the money was involved, whereas in English appropriate emphasis could cast doubt even on that.<br><br> #''Izō nosum '''''av'''''surit.''<br>money.ACC yesterday.LOC NEG.steal.PAST<br>'''Lexical verbal negation.''' This sentence translates to English "(He) didn't steal the money yesterday", but unlike the English, which could plausibly be negating anything from the stealing to what was stolen to when it was stolen, in the Arithide the sentence's semantic scope is significantly narrower: it only means that what was done with the money was not stealing; he could have borrowed the money, put it in a safe, or burnt it. In this case the adverb ''nosum'' "yesterday" functions differently from the English, and would be interpreted to mean, loosely, "yesterday's money".<br><br> #'''Av'''''izō nosum surit.''<br>NEG.money.ACC yesterday.LOC steal.PAST<br>'''Nominal (object) negation.''' I.e. "It wasn't the ''money'' that (he) stole yesterday." Something else was stolen yesterday, by him. Perhaps he did steal the money as well, but that wasn't done yesterday, and whether he did or not is not important. The emphasis here is on what was stolen yesterday, and that it wasn't the money; see also (5).<br><br> #'''Av'''''na izō nosum surit.''<br>NEG.pron-3p-sg money.ACC yesterday.LOC steal.PAST<br>'''Nominal (subject) negation.''' "It wasn't (him) who stole the money yesterday." Someone else stole the money yesterday. The additional pronoun is necessary here for disambiguation; other sentences omit the pronoun ([[Classical Arithide]] is pro-drop; see [[Classical Arithide grammar]]).<br><br> #''Izō '''''av'''''nosum surit.''<br>money.ACC NEG.yesterday.LOC steal.PAST<br>'''Adverbial negation.''' "It wasn't yesterday that (he) stole the money." He did indeed steal the money, but it wasn't yesterday; he had stolen it some time else, perhaps minutes ago. In contrast to (3), this construction is generally interpreted to mean that he did not steal anything else, but again the fact is not usually important. ==Modern Arithide== ''Av'' in [[Modern Arithide]] is purely a verbal affix, the language having lost much inflection and consequently the ability to negate nouns as in the classical tongue. As a result, sentence negation of types 3, 4 and 5 above have largely been replaced with periphrastic constructions, using the copula ''hē'' whose remit has been considerably expanded, not unlike the English "It wasn't him who...", "It wasn't the money that..." etc. For comparison, here are the equivalent sentences in Modern Arithide: #''Izoi eg ema sorie'''''v'''.<br>money ACC yesterday steal.PAST.NEG #''Izoi eg ema '''''av'''''sorie.''<br>money ACC yesterday NEG.steal.PAST #''Ema soriostou izoi he'''''v'''.<br>yesterday steal.PASSIVE.SUBST.TOP money be.NEG #''Izoi eg sorie daidau nos he'''''v'''.<br>money ACC steal.PAST hand.TOP he be.NEG #''Izoi eg sorie nevou ema he'''''v'''.<br>money ACC steal.PAST time.TOP yesterday be ==See also== *[[Classical Arithide]] *[[Classical Arithide grammar]] *[[Classical Arithide conjugation]], especially [[Classical Arithide conjugation#Negation]] for the two types of verbal negation.

The main page has '''<nowiki>Today is {{CURRENTDAYNAME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki>.''' To translate it for the Piscean front page you can use templates and magic words. For example, a template like [[Template:PisceanMonth/07]] (in which you would put the Piscean name for July) can be called by using '''<nowiki>{{PisceanMonth/{{CURRENTMONTH}}}}</nowiki>''', which will automatically convert to calling [[Template:PisceanMonth/08]] in August. The magic word for the day of the week is '''<nowiki>{{CURRENTDOW}}</nowiki>''' (today being {{CURRENTDOW}} — Sunday is 0 and it counts upwards), so you could have something like [[Template:PisceanDay/3]] (in which you would put the Piscean name for Wednesday) which could be called by '''<nowiki>{{PisceanDay/{{CURRENTDOW}}}}</nowiki>'''. So you could have put such templates in place and put a line—arranged however your grammar would have it—like '''<nowiki>[Today is] {{PisceanDay/{{CURRENTDOW}}}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{PisceanMonth/{{CURRENTMONTH}}}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki>'''.

In the character selection box they're placed after a dotted circle (which is the usual convention in print to differentiate a combining diacritic from a spacing one) which you would replace with the letter you want to put it on. If there's a "precombined" or single-character version of your character+diacritic combination, the Wiki software automatically converts it from the combination to the precombined character automatically when you submit it. This may prevent its displaying well if your font doesn't have glyphs for the precomposed character, even if it has the glyphs for the base and the diacritic. If there is no precombined character, the wiki software will leave it as a sequence of character+diacritic, and it's up to the browser and your fonts to generate the correct appearance (some engines do better than others, and some fonts are better designed for this). I don't know if this answers your request for information--the question is a bit vague. But feel free to ask again if not. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 12:08, 28 July 2007 (PDT) ::Have you been replacing the dotted circle with the letter the diacritic should go over? (i.e. click "æ" and the combination "◌̄" to get the three-character string "æ◌̄", then delete the dotted circle between the æ and the macron, after which you should have "ǣ"). If by 'does not combine' do you mean that it still stays separate, and you get something like æ¯ , then that's a font problem. If something else is happening, please describe your results... —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 14:35, 29 July 2007 (PDT) :::Hey, did you ever resolve this issue? If your problem is not getting the circle & the diacritic apart - the circle is, after all, a "letter goes here" placeholder that SHOULD combine with any diacritic - here's how it goes. Say you want a sub-breve: you'll be starting with "◌̥". In edit mode it should take ''two'' strokes of the arro keys to scroll thru this in either direction. The first is the circle; the 2nd is the diacritic. The easiest way to proceed is to apply Delete from the left, only erasing the circle. You can also place the cursor in the "middle", either by placing the cursor on the left and pressing right, or on the right and pressing left (it should appear to be at the right of the compound) and then backspace. :::Another useful thing is to use shift + L/R to select, then cut/copy + paste the diacritic part. You can cut/copy existing diacritics off letters this way (not with single glyphs like ǣ tho). :::--[[User:Tropylium|John Vertical]] 10:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC) == Fonts == It should work like this: <span style="font-family: times new roman">text</span> <span style="font-family: arial">text</span> <span style="font-family: rk anactor">text</span> <span style="font-family: rk accardi">text</span> I'm pretty sure font tags don't work, so it needs to be CSS like that.

Yes the double comma basically separates a '''clause''', be it '''subordinate''' or '''coordinate'''. (''At least thats what its supposed to do, i'm currently going through the site checking for mistakes etc''). The reason for this because of the '''prepositional word order rule''' which places prepositioned phrases immediatley 'after' a noun or pronoun, but is always separated by a single comma so as to incite a change of intonation in the voice. Hope this explains it, cheers. == addition to dalcurian double comma == I originally created the double comma scenario for '''that''' clauses: ''I think (that) she is nice''. Since in English, we often ellipse the word '''that''', ''I think she is nice'', i wanted to do the same in Dalcurian but wanted it to be grammatically 'marked'. But in the end i just made the rule that '''that''' is never ellipsed...or even '''who''' as in, ''The people, who are here, are unknown to me''. A good example of the way Dalcurian translates an 'elipsed' sentence is from my verb page: * '''DanöÞ brát mériÞ nörasáb,, taÞ vädenária stæmöjátsiel'''. ''There are more and more people becoming vegetarian''. In the English sentence, '''who are/that are''' is omitted but the sentence could also read: ''There are more and more people '''who are''' becoming vegetarian'' The Dalcurian example shows this as a separated, subordinate clause: '''taÞ vädenária stæmöjátsiel'''-''who are becoming vegetarians''. '''taÞ''' in these instances can also mean ''who''. Its akin to the way German works with '''that''' clauses. Its proper to say: '''Ich denke, ''das'' sie hübsch ist''', rather than: '''ich denke, sie ist hübsch''' (I think that she's pretty). Only difference is that in German, '''das''' is subordinate and sends the verb of that clause to the end where as in Dalcurian it has no relevance. == loan feature == [[User Talk:Rivendale]] Hi, I dont mind at all about using the double comma feature. A reference will be nice but I will leave that to your own discression. I did have a look at your conlang and found some interesting features there myself so there maybe something of yours i could 'adapt' for Dalcurian if thats ok...I'll place any acknowledgements on my User/Disclaimer page? You could even 'educate' me a little sometime. I'm still a bit wet behind the ears when it comes to serious syntax etc. Such as: bilabials, dentals, back and front vowels etc...its something i never really looked at (hence why I describe my site as being written in 'simple English') By the way, I especially like the Old English traits, and also the small 'agglugnative' features in your case system, which bear some similarities to [[Halcánian dialect|Halcarnian]] (a Dalcurian dialect derived from a '''Finno-Dalcurian''' culture hundreds of years ago). == Dalcurian dictionary == Hi, thanks for that, its nice to know that something you work hard on is noted by someone else. Yes, ive created a dictionary, it currently has around 6000 references, though I dont feel ready to put it online yet as there are still some gaps and discrepancies that need to be sorted. However, if you wanted to see the version as it stands currently, I'd be more than willing to send you the file (microsoft word) to an email address? Alternitavely, my msn address is: dwhmusic@hotmail.com if you wanted to add me and my regular email address is: dwhmusic32@yahoo.co.uk.<br/>I havent worked on my page for a while because of personal issues, but I'm steadily getting back into the swing of things now and back working on the dictionary.<br/>What do you think of the 'history' of the language? Do you think that it is a 'plausable' one?<br/>Ive also been working on the physical country too, creating various maps. I must find the time to have a proper look at your conlang too, I have briefly looked at it and noted some interesting things. I guess it would be nice to exchange some ideas in the near future as I'm thinking about creating another one; possibly another dialect or 2. ==Carune e Terra Alterna== ''Dispiaccio che n'uso FrathWiki tanto come forse devo. Non sapo quando postaste il tuo messaggio nella mia pàggina. Lo lessì ozzè, e m'interessò.''<br>Sorry that I don't use FrathWiki as much as I perhaps should. I don't know when you posted your message on my page. I read it today, and it interested me.<br>''Mi scordè de Terra Alterna.

'''Nouns'''<br> There are two genders — ''animate'' and ''inanimate''. They keep fairly close to natural gender, but there are exceptions: "house" is animate, "nephew" is inanimate, and so on. A noun that is modified (by another noun, an adjective, a relative clause, etc) is said to be in construct state. An unmodified noun is in absolute state. The construct state forms of common gender nouns are formed by suffixing -en, -in or -on, or by nasalizing an internal vowel (usually the second-to-last). :dasū "boy" arrow dasūon "boy of" :eli "house" arrow eni "house of" :karri "aunt" arrow karrīn "aunt of" The construct state forms of neuter nouns are formed by suffixing -el, -il or -ul, or by geminating an internal consonant (usually the initial of the last syllable). :bis "mouse" arrow bisel "mouse of" :hēlu "hair" arrow hēluil "hair of" :kurifa "branch" arrow kuriffa "branch of" There are a fair number of irregular nouns in which other changes to the stem go along with these endings. :gauru "dog" arrow guron "dog of" :sēsu "wheat" arrow suessu "wheat of" When an unmarked noun follows a noun in the construct state, the relationship between them is one of alienable posession. :guron Iona "John's dog" :eni ame "my house" For inalienable posession the posessor is put in the partitive case, marked with the preposition ō. :karrīn ō Iona "John's aunt" :eni ō ame "my family, my household" The partitive is also used to describe the material something is made of or the group it is drawn from. :piuhta ō sēsu "wheat bread" :enim ō dasū "one of the boys" The benefactive and malefactive cases, marked with ni and den respectively, can be used to describe the purpose of a noun. :fakal ni sēgē "seed corn" [i.e. "corn for the field"] :ōanillē den kuotta "rat poison" [i.e. "poison against rats"] They can also be used for indirect objects, as we'll see later. The locative, allative and ablative cases — marked with the prepositions a, ēn and ko — are used to describe locations, sources and destinations of movement. :a eli "at the house" :ēn eli "to the house" :ko eli "from the house" Construct state nouns in these cases are used to form more complex descriptions of position or motion. :sogu "top" arrow a sogūl "on top of" :tieka "teeth" arrow ēn tiekka "into the middle of" Some commonly used combinations have contracted into one word. :omā "deep" arrow ko omāl arrow kōmāl "up out of" :lase "eye" arrow ēn lasse arrow ēnasse "straight at" :eli "house" arrow a eni arrow anni "at the house of, chez" [[Category:Conlangs]] Talk:Piscean language 4265 29880 2008-03-13T22:14:36Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 *The uvular trill, uvular fricative and alveolar approximant are in free variation with one another. ⁺Glottal stops are present between a word that ends in a vowel and the next word when it begins with a vowel.

Let's split this sentence up shall we. The first word is ''Çataime'' This means My house, To show ownership of an object, Gelac uses inflections. When the word ends in a vowel as Çatai (house) does, The inflections are as follows: My - Mé Your - mo Their - Mú Its/his/hers - Mêç Our - mam Your Pl - Mó When the word ends in a constonant, Such as Gát (cat) The inflections are the same without the beginning m. == Accents == there are only two Diacritics, with simple Functions. ' Elongates the vowels, while ^ shortens them. And a note on the C's as there are three in this language. C is like Cat ç is like '''S'''oap Ĉ is '''Ch'''air. G is always ALWAYS as in Gate. == Pronunciation of Letters == The Gelaĉ alphabet is as follows A B C Ç Ĉ D E F G H I L M N O P R T U V Y Z The consonants are the same as in english, the vowels and their elongated pronunciations are below, The shortened sounds are just the same as the normal ones, only much quicker. A – hat – elon hay E – Egg – elon Pea I – Sit – elon Sight O Pot – elon Poo U – Hut – Hurt == Grammar == Adjectives are joined straight after the object with 'î' which means is, Colors always go right at the end.

The word for dog is ''Parol'', meaning My dog is ''Parolé''. Join is on leaves us with ''Parolé'î''. The word for fat is Gûrat, meaning My fat dog is ''Parolé'î'Gûrat''. '''My fat brown dog''' - ''Parolé'î'Gûrat'Maró'' For two or more adjectives, they are joined by 'o' which means and, but this is only for adjectives not colors. '''My stupid, Fat, Sad, brown dog''' - ''Parolé'î'gûrat'o'ĉúpidâ'o'malóni'maró'' Arcadian 4270 24859 2007-09-02T06:26:13Z - andrew 211 /* Gramatical Notes */ '''Arcadian''' is at the other end of the alphabet to [[Zelandish]]. It is a language sketched out by Andrew Smith -- a romance language designed reflect sound changes in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language Scots]. As a designed language it covers no new ground than what I have already achieved in designing [http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/introduction.html Brithenig], and yet it deserves a repeal from redundancy, so I describe it here. It was once suggested in correspondence with '''IJzeren Jan''' that Arcadian's homeland lies somewhere between the borders between France and Italy. The name of the language, ''Arcadian'' was chosen as a reference to the Otago settlement of southern New Zealand under the patronage of the Free Church of Scotland, promoted as a utopian social project called 'Arcadia'. == Sound changes == The changes in the language is treated as if it was conventional romance language. Short vowels are treated the same as other romance languages in that '''e''' and '''i''' collapse together as ''e'' /ɛ/. Original short '''u''' in a stressed open position becomes a front rounded vowel ''ö'' /ø/, otherwise '''o''' and '''u''' collapse together as ''o'' /ɔ/. Short and long '''a''' collapse together /a/. Long '''u''' is unchanged /u/. The other long vowels undergo a great vowel shift: long '''i''' becomes a diphthong /ɑɪ/ written ''ai''. '''E''' rises to replaces it, written ''i''. '''O''' becomes ''ö'' in all positions. When a velar consonant after a vowel becomes a ''ʒ'' it creates new vowels before it disappears. '''Oʒ''' (from short '''u''') becomes ''ou'' /ʌʊ/; '''uʒ''' (from long '''u''') is no different to ''u'' and '''iʒ''' no different to ''i''. '''Eʒ''' rises to become /e/, written ''è''. '''A''' in the cluster ''aʒi'' becomes /ɑɪ/, reduced to /ɛ/ in words such as ''mes'', but (from *'''magis'''); otherwise '''aʒ''' becomes ''au'' /aʊ/. The loss of '''l''' after ''a, o,'' and ''u'' has created new diphthongs: ''au, ou,'' and ''u'' (again not distinguished ''u'' from above). All vowels are short, except before '''v''', '''s''' /z/, '''d''' /ð/, and '''r'''. The '''e''' in the plural ending '''-es''' is silent. Consonants show little change from early romance to Arcadian. Clusters simplify at the end of words (''nt, nd'' become ''n'', ''st'' to ''s'', etc.), '''mpt''' and '''nct''' become ''nt''. The cluster '''rd''' becomes ''rt'' at the end of a word. ''D'' is pronounced as a fricative /ð/ when it occurs between vowels. Certain consonants have become palatals: '''gn''' and '''ni''' have become ''ny'' /ɲ/ or /nj/, /ŋ/ at the end of a word. '''ti''' has become '''ci''' /ʧ/ before a vowel, and /ʃ/ where it is word-final. Likewise ''gi'' is /ʤ/ before a vowel and /ʧ/ where is word-final. '''Si''' is pronounced /ʃ/. '''V''' becomes ''f'' when final, it disappears before a closed syllable ending in a nasal, semivowel or liquid. '''R''' is pronounced as a retroflex /ɾ/ except when doubled, or at the beginning or end of a word where it is pronounced as /ʀ/. The '''u''' is pronounced /w/ in the combination '''qu-'''. == Gramatical Notes == ===Pronouns=== The personal pronouns are ''jo'', I; ''nos'', we; ''tu'', thou; ''vos'', you; ''el'', he; ''ella'', she, and ''elles'', they. ''nos'' and ''vos'' can be used before or after a verb or after a preposition. ''Jo'', ''tu'', and the third person pronouns are all used as subject pronouns. The forms of these pronouns used after a preposition are ''mi'', me; ''ti'', thee, and ''si'', oneself. As the subject of a verb they become shorter in form ''m''', ''t''' and '''s'''. They shift to before the verb, after the subject. There are also special forms with the preposition ''con'', with: ''comec'', ''contec'', and ''consec''. If the third person pronoun does not refer back to the subject, different pronouns are used: after a preposition 'he' or 'she' is ''lé'' (accented for stress, and never reduced to l'), and 'they' is ''lör''. As the object of a verb, 'he' or 'she' is ''lö'' and ''la'' respectively. They come before a verb. The plural forms are ''los'' and ''las''. The possessive pronouns agree with the gender of the possessed object. They are ''miun/mia'', my; ''nostre/nostra'', our; ''tön/tua'', thy; ''vostre/vostra'', your, and ''sön/sua'', one's. Polite forms of address to a man or a woman are ''domnevostre'', sir, you; and ''domnevostra'', ma'am, you. When an indefinite pronoun is needed ''gen'' or ''gentes'', one, we, people, is used. The interrogative pronouns are ''quai'', who; and ''qué'', what. 'Whom' is ''qué'', after a preposition it is ''quai''. The relative pronoun is ''que'', or more specifically for gender and number ''le quau, la quau'' and ''les quaus''. === Verbs === ''Cantar'', to sing Present tense, indicative and subjunctive: {| ||jo can||nos cantamos||jo can||nos cantemos |- ||tu cantas||vos cantates||tu cantes||vos cantetes |- ||el canta||elles cantan||el can||elles canten |} Imperative: canta, cantat Simple past tense: {| ||jo cancia||nos canciamos |- ||tu cancias||vos canciates |- ||el cancia||elles cantán |} Past Historic {| ||jo cantai||nos cantamos |- ||tu cantaste||vos cantastes |- ||el cantau||elles cantaron |} Conditional {| ||jo cantas||nos cantassemos |- ||tu cantesses||vos cantassetes |- ||el cantas||elles cantassen |} ''Tenir'', to hold Present tense, indicative and subjunctive {| ||jo teny||nos teniamos||jo tenya||nos tenyamos |- ||tu tenes||vos tenites||tu tenyas||vos tenyates |- ||el ten||elles tenen||el tenya||elles tenyan |} Imperative: ten, tenit Simple Past Tense: {| ||jo tenia||nos teniamos |- ||tu tenias||vos teniates |- ||el tenia||elles tenian |} Past Historic: {| ||jo tené||nos tenemos |- ||tu teneste||vos tenestes |- ||el teniu||elles teneron |} Conditional: {| ||jo tenis||nos tenìssemos |- ||tu tenìsses||vos tenìssetes |- ||el tenis||elles tenìssen |} ''Perdre'', to lose, to miss Present tense, indicative and subjunctive {| ||jo pert||nos perdemos||jo perda||nos perdamos |- ||tu perdes||vos perdetes||tu perdas||vos perdates |- ||el pert||elles perden||el perda||elles perdan |} Imperative: pert, perdet Simple Past Tense: {| ||jo perdia||nos perdiamos |- ||tu perdias||vos perdiates |- ||el perdia||elles perdian |} Past Historic: {| ||jo perdé||nos perdemos |- ||tu perdeste||vos perdestes |- ||el perdiu||elles perderon |} Conditional: {| ||jo perdes||nos perdessemos |- ||tu perdesses||vos perdessetes |- ||el perdes||elles perdessen |} ''Dormair'', to sleep Present tense, indicative and subjunctive: {| ||jo dorm||nos dormaimos||jo dormia||nos dormiamos |- ||tu dormes||vos dormaites||tu dormias||vos dormiates |- ||el dormai||elles dormen||el dormia||elles dormian |} Imperative: dorm, dormait Simple past tense: {| ||jo dormaya||nos dormayamos |- ||tu dormayas||vos dormayates |- ||el dormaya||elles dormayan |} Past Historic: {| ||jo dormi||nos dormemos |- ||tu dormeste||vos dormestes |- ||el dormiu||elles dormeron |} Conditional: {| ||jo dormes||nos dormessemos |- ||tu dormesses||vos dormessetes |- ||el dormes||elles dormessen |} Apart from common verbs: partair, dormair, tenair, morair, etc; verbs of the -air class take the affix -esc-: ''Patair'', to suffer Present tense, indicative and subjunctive: {| ||jo pates||nos pataimos||jo patesca||nos paciamos |- ||tu patesces||vos pataites||tu patescas||vos paciates |- ||el pates||elles patescen||el patesca||elles patescan |} Imperative: pates, patescet == Babel Text == To whet the appetite: Accöra le mön entèr avía un lenguagi e las parablas cemas.

Anderson== [[Image:Anderson Ray.jpg|240px|thumb|left|Sean Anderson and Ray Davies, of The Kinks, in Nottingham, 2007]] I first noticed this wiki last year, looking for a place that would host my conlang's grammar. FrathWiki was a very opportune find; it's accessible, familiar and the administrator Muke pays a lot of attention to it. Another great thing is being able to host one's conlang among thousands of other pages, being part of a community. In early 2008, my thoughts began to drift from my personal project in an endeavour to make that community great. I sketched out designs for a new concise, vibrant Main Page to replace what I felt to be an outdated layout (in use from 2003!). I'm 16 years old with a conlang called West Germanic, née Piscean, studying English, French, German and 20th Century History at The Rutland College, in England's smallest county with Europe's largest reservoir. FrathWiki, alongside Kinks fan fora (yes, they are my favourite band), is one of my favourite websites. As well as using it for uploading information regarding my efforts, I love reading others' articles. As a result of this, I want to make FrathWiki community-friendly. I feel very passionate; now with lots of experience, I want the best for all condoers and will happily dedicate some of my time to help those who want it.

That is, do they use one case of monotransitive accusative and ditransitive dative, and a second for ditransitive accusative? If so, is -out/-ouk/-oud used for the primary object (mon. acc/ditrans. dat.) and -etsh/-ets for teh secondary object (ditrans. acc)?

Anderson, L.J. Partridge |date=27 November 2007}} [[Image:Tauro-pisces.png|left]] The Tauro-Piscean language belongs to S.C. Anderson and L.J. Partridge, residents of the territories claimed by the New Pisces and Taurus micronation. Throughout its history, Piscean has belonged to several branches of the Indo-European language family, including Italic and West Germanic. Due to the awkward classification, a new pseudo-branch of Indo-European languages has been created by Anderson: 'Multi-Western', after the languages spoken in western Europe that have inspired Piscean. Tauro-Piscean is essentially the [[Piscean_language|modern Piscean dialect]], reformed and with some revived features from its history, and the newly developing - now ingested - language Taurusian. Since an agreement on 27 November 2007, Anderson (Piscean) and Partridge (Taurusian) have agreed to work on a joint language and now both moderate the Piscean Lexicon. ==Sounds== Tauro-Piscean sounds are based mainly on those in the modern standard dialects of German and English. For non-linguists or for casual browsing: Tauro-Piscean letters can be compared to English phonetically: [[Image:EngTP.png]] ===Types of consonants=== Linguistically, Tauro-Piscean consonants can be arranged in a grid like this: [[Image:TPconsonants.png]] ==Nouns== ===Genders=== The Piscean language includes three 'logical' grammatical genders. While in many languages, the genders do not often relate to physical properties of nouns, they do in Piscean; therefore, most nouns are neuter, while creatures of the male sex are masculine and creatures of female sex are feminine. If one refers to a creature, but does not wish to distinguish sex, the neuter gender can be used as a substitute. Observe the following examples: *teet Sunne - the sun (no sex, so neuter) *teet Mann - the person (no sex specified, so neuter) *se Mann - the man (male, so masculine) *seo Mann - the woman (female, so feminine) The above example shows the importance the article plays in Piscean of distinguishing between sexes in a language where one noun fits all. ===Articles=== ====Definite articles==== <span style="font-family: comic sans ms">The word ‘the’ is known as the definite article.</span> The definite article is inflected in various ways, firstly split into three depending on grammatical gender, then into six depending also on quantity - whether singular or plural - and finally into a further thirty depending on grammatical case - whether nominative, accusative, dative, genitive or instrumental. [[Image:definitearticle.png]] <span style="font-family: times new roman">Those words highlighted with an asterisk follow irregular patterns. 'Enum' is a contraction arising from a rather complex - and now incorrect - 'teemenum'. 'Seäm' is a result of 'seoum', which is difficult for a Piscean speaker to pronounce. The O and U thus collapse into Ä. Similarly, 'som' is contrived, as 'säum' is awkward in speech, giving way instead to a collapse of Ä and U into O.</span> ====Indefinite articles==== <span style="font-family: comic sans ms">The word ‘a’ is known as the indefinite article.</span> The indefinite article is inflected in much the same way as the definite article, but lacking plural forms (which are shown not with an article, merely by inflecting the noun itself). [[Image:indefinitearticle.png]] <span style="font-family: times new roman">Those words highlighted with an asterisk follow irregular patterns. 'Een', 'eem', 'ees' and 'eum' are contracted forms of 'aneen', 'aneem', 'anees' and 'aneum', respectively. Regarding the feminine irregularities, 'änoen', 'änoem', 'änoes' and 'änoum' first contracted to 'oen', 'oem', 'oes' and 'oum', but - for even easier pronunciation - the O (and E, where applicable) finally collapsed into the dipthong IJ, which sounds like the English word 'eye'.</span> User:Anarel 4280 24145 2007-08-02T17:14:50Z Anarel 739 New page: Anarel, creator of the conworld named Nahaiteru, where he placed his concultures and conlangs.

There is no agreement in the literature regarding the precise articulation of /w/ and /gh/ (when realized as an approximant).

(Table 1) In bisyllabic words in which these "long" two-mora-length vowel series bore an accute stress, the stress was systematically shifted toward the off-glide, and the first vowel of the series was reduced to a semivowel. The off-glide was then lowered, either to [ɐ], when the result of a back vowel, or to [æ], from a front vowel, and lengthened.

They possess roughly the same physiology as Earth humans. Around 150,000 years ago, they began to migrate out of the region, producing the first genetic split between those who moved south and those who did not. By 120 kya a small group splits off and moves to the east coast, while another group splits to the west, and by 110 kya, has reached the northeastern coast of the inland sea. Now we find a group split off and begin a rapid migration westward along the large peninsula north of the inland sea. Around 90 kya this group even crosses the narrow strait separating this peninsula from the northwestern portion of Protera. This strait is extremely shallow, and a temporary land bridge, caused by silt or slightly reduced sea levels, might have made the crossing easy. Possibly encouraged by a warming climate, some of those who stayed in the region east of the inland sea start moving south and west about 80 kya. Some of them follow the south coast of the inland seas into western Protera. Also around 80 kya, some humans migrate from their original homeland in the northeast to the island chains immediately west of it. This is one of the many mysteries of Zebia, as only a tremendous drop in sea level would allow for a dry-land crossing to any of those islands. It is therefore very likely that these humans accidentally drifted across on floating rafts of vegetation. Zebia’s extremely swift east-to-west circumequatorial current would have carried them this distance quickly, if such a raft could hold together. There is also a chance that these people developed outrigger canoes, but there is no fossil evidence of such craft on Zebia for several millennia. ==Genetic differentiation== At this point, all of the major population groups of Zebian humans are present (if not yet differentiated). The biggest division is between those humans who stayed in the northeast or traveled to the nearby islands on the one hand and those who traveled south on the other hand. The first group will be named [[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Boreoids|Boreoids]], and the second group Austroids. The Boreoids are further divided into those who stayed on Protera, called Paleoboreoids, and those who crossed over to the islands, and later, to [[Tetarta]] and [[Pempta]]. These are referred to as Neoboreoids. The Austroids are also divided into two main groups, the group which inhabits the east coast, and the group which inhabits everything west of that. The eastern group is called [[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Anatolicoids|Anatolicoids]], and the western group Hesperoids. The Hesperoids are further divided into those who traveled west along the long, snaking peninsula, and those who moved south into the taiga. The northern one of these group is called [[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Dyticoids|Dyticoids]] and the southern group [[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Notoids|Notoids]]. All of these groups are still very close together genetically even in modern times; they do not constitute true "races" in a biological sense. Due to cultural contact from well before the advent of civilisation, the populations on Protera have mixed considerably, and even phenotypes commonly associated with one of the Proteran groups do sometimes appear on other continents. However, some general tendencies as to their appearance can be discerned, and will be outlined below. ==Migration after 80 kya== Around 70 kya, the Notoids break through the icy mountains south of the inland sea, and join the Dyticoids in colonizing the west portion of Protera, but from the south rather than the north. By 60 kya, they reach the cold southwest coast with its peninsulas and glaciers, and by 50 kya, they have reached the coast of the strait separating the two southern continents. Meanwhile, the Boreoids have managed to reach Tetarta and begin colonization, settling the entire continent by 45 kya. The crossing to Pempta occurred only in historical times, around 3000 years ago. Some time around 50 kya, the Notoids cross over to [[Trita]]. By 40 kya, virtually the entire continent is inhabited. This settlement results in the extinction of much of Trita's impressive dinosaur megafauna, but a number of species does survive human contact. The same pattern repeats when one group from Trita reaches [[Deutera]] around 30 kya. By 10 kya, almost all territories suitable for human habitation are populated. This crossing probably required some primitive boat technology, but again, this is an area of mystery in Zebian history. Back on Protera, things are shifting around. Around 50 kya, the Notoids move north, displacing the Dyticoids in most of the west, leaving pockets of Dyticoids and lots of genetic mingling. This coincides with a massive migration by the Anatolicoids, who move north (taking over most mainland areas from the Paleoboreoids) and west (taking over the former homeland of the Notoids in the southeast of the continent). It is unclear whether these migrations are causally connected to each other. The islands west of Protera, the islands west of Deutera, and most oceanic islands remain uninhabited until sea-going vessels are developed. =Population groups= ==Genetic diagram== (with mention of the main locations of each group in modern times) *[[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Boreoids|Boreoids]] **Paleoboreoids (northeastern Protera) **Neoboreoids (Tetarta, Pempta) *Austroids **[[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Anatolicoids|Anatolicoids]] (southeastern Protera) **Hesperoids ***[[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Dyticoids|Dyticoids]] (northwestern Protera) ***[[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Notoids|Notoids]] ****Paleonotoids (southwestern Protera) ****[[Spread_of_humans_on_Zebia#Neonotoids|Neonotoids]] (Trita, Deutera) Basal humans are dolichocephalic (long, narrow skulls), prognathic (protruding rather than flush mouth), with dark skin, sundadont (i.e. typical) dentition, with wide noses and gently sloping foreheads (this is very similar to early humans on Earth). Unlike Earth, the genetic populations that stayed in tropical regions (the Boreoids) tended towards bracchicephalism (rounded skulls), while those groups moving into cooler climates (Anatolicoids and Dyticoids) tended to keep the dolichocephalic head-shape. Notoids have independently developed slightly rounded heads, in appearance between the shapes found in the other groups and therefore termed mesocephalic. The Neonotoids in the eastern hemisphere show some degree of variety. ==Boreoids== [[image:Zebia_Boreoid.jpg]] Boreoids have more rounded (bracchicephalic) skulls. Their facial bones, especially the maxilla, mandible, and zygoma, are far more gracile than basal humans. Skin color ranges from very dark to slightly dark. Their eyes are brown, their hair is black and tightly curled, and they tend to have large nostrils (probably an adaptation to heat). Boreoid females have a distinctive feature not found on Earth which is called “Steatovulvia.” The adipose tissue of the vulva is quite large by human standards, and during arousal increased blood flow gives it a very dark color. Also, Boreoid dentition is slightly derived, having one less root in the first molar on the top and bottom (one root instead of two). ==Anatolicoids== [[image:Zebia_Anatolicoid.jpg]] The Anatolicoids feature many basal characteristics lost in the Boreoids, such as a dolichocephalic skull shape, and prominent facial bones. Along with large brow ridges and zygoma, they have by far the largest mandibles and greatest prognathism of any Zebian group. Their skin ranges from slightly dark in the north to very light in the south and west, with amber and other hues along the east coast. Their hair tends to be curly in the north but wavy or straight in the south and west. Anatolicoid dentition is also slightly different, with the first upper molar having one extra root (three instead of two). ==Dyticoids== [[image:Zebia_Dyticoid.jpg]] The Dyticoids represent some of the least derived humans on Zebia. They retain many features of ancestral humans, such as prominent facial bones and a narrow skull shape. The zygoma is especially pronounced. Skin tone tends to be dark, but it is much lighter along the west coast. Infant Dyticoids are born with “blue toes”, a build up of pigment that disappears a few days after birth. ==Notoids== [[image:Zebia_Notoid.jpg]] The Notoids are a highly derived form. The maxilla and mandible are more gracile than the basal human norm, but the zygoma is still pronounced. Hair is straight or wavy and black. Several features are present that seem to respond to the cold of the southern climate: stout frame, short digits, abundant body fat, epicanthic fold, and extra vellus hair (though no extra terminal hair). Smaller buttocks, noses, penises, and breasts may be responding to the same pressures, or they may not. Notoids all have sundadont dentition. ===Neonotoids=== [[image:Zebia_Neonotoid.jpg]] The Neonotoids of the “New World” are very similar to Old World Notoids, and even more similar to each other. However, there are a few key differences. First, the Neonotoids of the eastern hemisphere north of the Antarctic region have lost some of the cold weather adaptations of their ancestors, such as small noses and digits (though their epicanthic folds remain intact). Also, skin color varies greatly in the eastern hemisphere. Most importantly, the Neonotoids on the west coast of Trita have a remarkable adaptation. For reasons that are still unclear, some of them have evolved light hair and eye coloration. Many communities in this region have a majority of inhabitants featuring brown hair, or in some rare cases even dark blonde hair. Blue or green eyes are very uncommon, but far more common than anywhere else on Zebia. There is no trace of light hair among Zebians on any other continent.

''suggestion by brandrinn, seconded by cedh audmanh'' Geological and biological history of Zebia 4296 30971 2008-05-02T11:22:38Z Cedh audmanh 313 categories =Geological history= ==The break-up of PanZebia== [[Zebia]], circa 350 million years ago. Almost all landmasses are comprised in PanZebia, a large supercontinent with its center just north of the equator, near the current position of Trita's northeastern tip. It is mostly oriented in north-to-south direction, with a huge bay in the northwestern corner. Much of PanZebia is covered by shallow oceans as there is neither land nor ice at either pole at the time, and sea levels are ~150m higher than currently. A perfect environment for amphibians, of which there is an amazing variety. The northernmost part of PanZebia soon splits off and moves north by northwest. It will be called Proto-Pempta. Around 30 MYA later it is sufficiently near the north pole for an ice cap to form, which causes a drop in sea level and enhanced evolutionary pressure on the amphibians on PanZebia. Some of them become capable of surviving in drier environments and evolve into primitive reptiles. About 300 MYA ago, the southeastern edge of PanZebia breaks away and moves east by southeast. This will later become the southeastern portion of Protera, but for now it is a small continent of its own, called Southern Proto-Protera. Around 280 MYA, the rest of the supercontinent splits in two halves, starting in the northwest. The eastern portion, which encompasses today's Deutera, Pempta, southwestern Protera, and northern Trita, slowly moves north, rotating clockwise. It will be called Borea for now. The western portion, a long but rather narrow stretch of land consisting of today's Tetarta, northeastern Protera, and southern Trita, moves west by southwest and turns counter-clockwise. It will go by the name of Austra. All continents except Arctica carry both amphibians and reptiles, although only Austra has diapsids (the ancestors of dinosaurs and birds), most of them in the southern regions. ==The age of small continents== Soon after this final split of PanZebia, around 250 MYA, the southern portion of Borea breaks away and heads southeast, moving towards the equator and the southern hemisphere. This will eventually be the southwestern portion of Protera, and go by "Western Proto-Protera" for now. It carries several species of synapsid reptiles that are at this time rather closely related to groups on both Austra and Borea, but will evolve into a separate class during 180 MYA of isolation, a class that doesn't exist on Earth. These animals will end up on Protera and Tetarta. The rest of Borea continues to the northwest and collides with the small polar continent of Proto-Pempta around 210 MYA. However, these continents do not completely fuse, but rather slide alongside in opposite directions. The rock shapes resulting from this slide are rather bizarre. Finally, around 60 MYA these continents separate for good; [[Pempta]] now dropping the "Proto-" from its name and drifting southeast. This implies that the flora and fauna of Deutera and Pempta is roughly similar at the order level, but distinct in further subdivisions. As for animals, there are synapsid reptiles in all kinds of shapes, filling most of the available ecological niches. As the continents have both been near the north pole for a long time, fur and feather-like scales to save body warmth was evolved early on. Many of these reptiles look rather similar to certain types of mammals, but they belong to a completely different class. In the meantime, the southeastern third of Borea proper has split off (around 180 MYA), moving south under the name of Proto-Trita. Accordingly, Trita has a few synapsid subclasses (but not orders or families) shared with Deutera and Pempta, but not with the other continents. From this time on, the rest of Borea is called [[Deutera]]. ==Formation of the modern continents== In the southern hemispere, Austra collides with Southern Proto-Protera around 160 MYA, leaving behind the cleft to the east of the inland sea. In most other places, no clear plate boundary is discernible. The CCW rotation of Austra accelerates because of this collision. Its southeastern tip breaks off around 140 MYA and moves east, colliding with Proto-[[Trita]] by 100 MYA. By 80 MYA, Western Proto-Protera joins Austra, forming modern [[Protera]]. The splitting of Austra occurs shortly after the emergence of mammals, and also after the divergence of archosauria vs. lepidosauria. Accordingly, all southern hemisphere continents have both mammals and dinosaurs. However, the course of evolution is different from one continent to the other. On Protera there are rather few dinosaurs, and they never reach the size they had on Earth, due to evolutionary pressure from other types of reptiles (e.g. lizards) and mammals. There has been no single mass extinction event, so several archaic clades of animals (both reptile and mammal) survive to date with a few rare species. In general, Protera has been dominated by mammals for at least 90 MYA, about 150% the time this has been the case on Earth. This leads to a lot of diversity. On Trita, on the other hand, dinosaurs had the upper hand and soon became the dominant group of animals. They did not become quite as huge as a T-Rex or a brontosaur, given that the continent is rather small and Zebia has slightly more gravity than Earth. But then, elephant-sized is still big, and there may have been larger ones... And, like on Earth, they evolved into birds at a point. About 30 MYA the first birds managed to cross the ocean to Protera, and about the same time the dominance of dinosaurs began to wane. Mammals had their chance, and succeeded in taking it. Today, Trita has large species of all three classes. Dinosaurs have become rare and are not bigger than, for instance, a hippopotamus, at their largest today, but there's still a stunning variety of them, compared to relatively few species of mammals with high numbers each. Where there was once a spreading sea floor between Deutera and Protera there is now an ocean plate being subsumed on almost all sides. Also gone without a trace are the spreading zones that separated Trita and Deutera and Western ProtoProtera from PanZebia. Most of the current spreading zones are new. Part of northern Protera splits off beginning 40 MYA, creating [[Tetarta]]. A smaller zone north of Trita creates the volcanic island chain north of that continent. Both of these zones push Protera and Trita further south, creating the circumpolar mountains. =Biology= Each kind of organism that existed around 300 million years ago on Zebia could have up to 4 main groups of descendents now. These groups differ from one another at about the class level (which suggests that Zebia might have more distinct classes in each phylum than Earth does). ==Group I: Paleo-Oriental== This group evolved in what is now southeastern Protera, where it was isolated from about 300 to 160 million years ago. It's the most divergent group, and also the rarest; these organisms were largely replaced by Austral species after about 160 million years ago. A few surviving species are found, mostly in eastern Protera, but some isolated ones occur elsewhere in the southern hemisphere. The few ones found in Trita form a distinct subgroup that split off about 140 million years ago. ==Group II: Austral== This group evolved in the supercontinent Austra (now northern Protera, Tetarta, and southern Trita), which was isolated from about 280 to 160 million years ago. This seems to be the group that most closely resembles modern Terrestrial organisms: it includes lizards, birds and dinosaurs, probably mammals, and maybe flowering plants and bees. Austral species are found throughout the southern hemisphere, and a few types (bats, birds, marine mammals, humans) are cosmopolitan. An important subgroup has evolved in Trita since about 140 million years ago; this group includes the true birds, and maybe marsupial mammals. ==Group III: Occidental== This group evolved in what is now southwestern Protera, which was isolated from about 250 to 80 million years ago. It's slightly more closely related to the Boreal group than to the others, and includes a distinct class of synapsids. Occidental species are found mainly in western Protera, but they could live anywhere in Protera or Tetarta. ==Group IV: Boreal== This group evolved in the supercontinent Borea (now Deutera, Pempta, and northern Trita) from about 250 to 180 million years ago. It and the Occidental group are more closely related to each other than to the others. The dominant Boreal animals are synapsids. Boreal species are found throughout Deutera, Pempta, and Trita. The subgroup found in Trita is quite distinct, having split from the others about 180 million years ago. These groups line up with the continents to create three super-biomes: *Protera and Tetarta: dominated by Austral organisms, but with Occidentals as well (especially in the west), and a few Paleo-Oriental survivors (especially in the east) *Trita: very distinctive forms of both Austral and Boreal organisms *Deutera and Pempta: almost exclusively Boreal organisms [[Category:Zebia]] Pempta 4297 30972 2008-05-02T11:23:09Z Cedh audmanh 313 categories [[Image:Zebia_Globeview_SmallContin.gif|thumb|Pempta (top left), one of [[Zebia]]'s continents]] '''Pempta''' is the smallest and most isolated continent on [[Zebia]], located in the northern hemisphere of the planet.

In the west, the latest common language was what is now called Western Kelanian or sometimes Kalanian (native name ''Kálanyas tyañáli'', lit. "Kelanian speech"). The changes to Western Kelanian weren't to extreme, as opposed to its sister [[Eastern Kelanian]], and it and [[Kelanian]], its parent, could probably have been mutually intelligible. == Sound Changes from Kelanian == P = plosive, N = nasal, F = fricative, L = liquid, W = semi-vowel C = a consonant, V = a vowel * P[+voice] → P[-voice]/#_s * P[+voice] → P[+voice][+asp]/ #_V * P[+voice][+asp] → F[+voice] (/B D G/ <v dh gh>) * V[+length] → V[-length] /_# * V[+stress] → V'[+stress] /_CV' (I'm not sure if I wrote that in a way that makes sense. Its supposed to say that a stressed vowel becomes whatever the next vowel is.) * V[-length] → Ø /_W * Pw → Pʷ * Cj → Cʲ * Ci → Cʲi /_C * Ci → Cʲ /_V * V[-length] → Ø /C_C, where both C's are the same * Stress moves to the antepenultimate vowel, or to the penultimate vowel if it is long. == Morphology Changes from Kelanian == Most of the changes in inflection were the result of the above sound changes, though the following changes also occurred. === Noun Changes === The comitative case merged with the instrumental into the suffix '''-tye'''. Also, because of sound changes, the absolutive long final vowel shortens, meaning it is no longer morphologically distinct from the locative in the 1st, 2nd and 5th declensions. === Modifier Changes === Modifiers remained almost completely unchanged except for sound change. tséraye → tsárye tséraya → tsárya tsêrawe → tsârwe === Verb Changes === The verbal system simplified. The modifier-copula phrase used to make verbs in Kelanian collapsed into single words, forming a regular verbal conjugation system. The present indicative is shown here in its three aspects. tséraye-éni → tsaryêni tséraya-éni → tsaryâni tsêrawe-éni → tsārwêni ==== Aorist Changes ==== The aorist took a rather interesting turn. All words started to use the strong aorist stem formation, making it very predictable. This changed all of the aorist forms, including the modifier. This change took place rather early, after the third but before the fifth sound change listed above. Verb: atsérī → atsíri Modifier: atsére → atsére == Syntax Changes from Kelanian == The most obvious syntax change is in conventional phrase order, from OSV to SOV, showing more ergative tendencies. As in Kelanian, phrase order is necessary to show grammatical roles, though subject-verb agreement is more frequently used than it was before.

In the east, the latest common language was what is now called Eastern Kelanian. Though Eastern and [[Western Kelanian]] are the two offspring of [[Kelanian]], Eastern Kelanian was spoken later than it's sibling because the men of the east were fewer in number and didn't expand as quickly as the men of the west. Accordingly, the changes that occurred in the east are much more extreme, and took much more time. == Overview == The first profound change from Kelanian to Eastern Kelanian was in the formation of words. The men of the east departed from the Kelanui so early that the concept of the Kelanian primitive roots had not been too deeply ingrained in them. Instead of verbs or adjectives being formed from their proper primitive roots, the speakers formed them from the most basic noun assocciated with them. For example the words for "to rule, lead" and "royal" derive from the word for "leader, king". Essentially, nominal stems replaced the roots. As a result of all the sound changes that took place, another profound change occurred in the very structure of the language. Vowels affected each other so much that the only thing that remained constant in related words were the three consonants originating from the noun they came from; it changed from a fusional language to one based on triliteral roots. == Sound Changes == P = plosive, N = nasal, F = fricative, L = liquid, W = semi-vowel C = a consonant, V = a vowel *u:, o: → o /_# *a:, e: → e /_# *Prosthetic /h/ is added before initial vowels. <h> *p_h t_h k_h → p\ T x/_ <f th kh> *b_h d_h g_h → B D G /_ <v dh gh> *Cj → C_j /_ *Cw → C_w /_ *NC → C /#_ *ps, ks → s /_ *bs, gs → z /_ *ts → S /_ <š> *ds → Z /_ <ž> *Accented vowels caused the following vowel to become the same as they are. *V[-length] → Ø /_# *W → V /_# *i-mutation and u-mutation; i and i-diphthongs or u and u-diphthongs in the final syllable caused the preceding vowel to become i or u respectively. *i[-length], u[-length] → Ø /_# *i[+length] → i[-length] /_# *C → eC /C_# *VV → V[+length] /_, V=V *Modifiers become verbs; Prosthetic /a/ and verb endings added to all verbs *i-diphthongs → i: /_ *u-diphthongs → u: /_ *Stress moves to the penultimate vowel. *V → Ø /_CV[+stress], _CCV[+stress] *CCC → CCeC /_ *onon → ōn *p_w t_w k_w → p\ t p /_ *b_w d_w g_w → B d b /_ *F_w N_w L_w → F N L /_ *p_j t_j k_j → p t_S k /_ /t_S/=<c> *b_j d_j g_j → b d_Z g /_ /d_Z/=<j> *F_j N_j L_j → F N L /_ *Stress retracts to the first vowel, or to the antepenultimate vowel in words four syllables or longer. *Prosthetic /@/ is added before initial clusters, written <ə> == Phonology == === Consonants === Eastern Kelanian has 25 consonant phonemes. It retains Kelanian's unaspriated plosive sequence, its 3 nasals and 2 liquids, but unlike Kelanian, it has an abundance of fricatives and 2 affricates: * 2 bilabial: '''f''' /p\/ and '''v''' /B/ * 6 coronal: '''th''' /T/, '''dh''' /D/, '''s''' /s/, '''z''' /z/, '''š''' /S/, '''ž''' /Z/ * 2 velar: '''kh''' /x/,'''gh''' /G/ * 1 glottal: '''h''' /h/ * 2 post-alveolar affricates: '''c''' /t_S/ and '''j''' /d_Z/ {| border=1 | |Labial |Dental |Alveolar |Post-Alveolar |Velar |Glottal |- |align=center|Stops |align=center|'''p''' '''b''' | |align=center|'''t''' '''d''' | |align=center|'''k''' '''g''' |align=center|'''q''' |- |align=center|Fricatives |align=center|'''f''' '''v''' |align=center|'''th''' '''dh''' |align=center|'''s''' '''z''' |align=center|'''š''' '''ž''' |align=center|'''kh''' '''gh''' |align=center|'''h''' |- |align=center|Affricates | | | |align=center|'''c''' '''j''' | | |- |align=center|Nasals |align=center|'''m''' | |align=center|'''n''' | |align=center|'''ñ''' | |- |align=center|Liquids | | |align=center|'''l''' '''r''' | | | |} === Vowels === There are 6 short vowels, '''a, e, i, o, u, ə''', /a e I o U @/, and two long vowels, '''ī''' and '''ū''' /i: u:/, which may also be written '''ii''' and '''uu'''. There are no diphthongs. {|border=1 | |Front |Central |Back |- |Close |align=center|'''ī''' | |align=center|'''ū''' |- |Near-close |align=center|'''i''' | |align=center|'''u''' |- |Mid |align=center|'''e''' |align=center|'''ə''' |align=center|'''o''' |- |Open | |align=center|'''a''' | |} === Syllable Structure === Syllables are of the form (C)V(C). Since Eastern Kelanian is based on triconsonantal roots, there are no restrictions on what clusters may form at syllable boundaries. There are, however, no clusters comprised of more than two consonants. === Allophony === == Morphology == === Nouns === The nominal system was drastically altered. The paucal took on the function of the plural, and the plural took on the function of the collective. Whereas in Kelanian, cases were indicated by suffixes, in Eastern Kelanian only the genitive is formed by altering the word from its natural absolutive form. {| border=1 | |align=center|Singular |align=center|Plural |align=center|Collective |- |Abs |align=center|C'''(é/ó)'''C'''(e/o)'''C |align=center|'''é'''CC'''(e/o)'''C |align=center|'''ə'''CC'''í'''C'''ī''' |- |Gen |align=center|'''ə'''CC'''(é/ó)'''C'''ov''' |align=center|'''é'''CC'''(e/o)'''C'''ov''' |align=center|'''ə'''CC'''í'''C'''īv''' |} The nominative, dative and instrumental/comitative are formed analytically with case-marking postpositions. The locative was also replaced and changed. In Kelanian, prepositions were used with a noun in the locative to show position, but in Eastern Kelanian they are now postpositions used with an absolutive noun, and the original meaning of the locative is also now formed with a postposition. {| border=1 |Case |Marker |- |Nom |align=center|'''elə''' |- |Dat |align=center|'''erə''' |- |Instr |align=center|'''ce''' |- |Loc |align=center|'''na''' |} === Verbs === The verbal system went through a major change. An early change was that only the weak aorist was used to form the aorist stem, which regularized it completely. The regular modifier forms, with tense and mood suffixes added after, became used to mark full verbs soon after the i- and u-mutations and the splitting up of final clusters. At about the same time, a prosthetic '''a-''' came into use to mark all verbs, causing verbs with both active and eventive forms to mark the eventive with '''amī-''' and the active with '''a-'''. Verbs with no transitive form became morphologically indistinguishable from transitives as a result. Contrast intransitive ''ámširi'', "to leave" with transitive ''átširi'', "to take." (It so happens that most if not all triconsonantal roots that form intransitive verbs start with an 'm'.) Due to sound changes, the imperfective and habitual merged. {| border=1 | !colspan="4" align="center"|Active | !colspan="4" align="center"|Eventive |- | |Indicative |Subjunctive |Hortative |Optative | |Indicative |Subjunctive |Hortative |Optative |- |Imperfective |'''á'''CC'''i'''C'''i''' |'''á'''CC'''i'''C'''on''' |'''á'''CC'''i'''C'''u''' |'''á'''CC'''i'''C'''el''' | |'''amî'''CC'''i'''C'''i''' |'''amî'''CC'''i'''C'''on''' |'''amî'''CC'''i'''C'''u''' |'''amî'''CC'''i'''C'''el''' |- |Perfect |'''á'''CC'''u'''C'''i''' |'''á'''CC'''u'''C'''on''' |'''á'''CC'''u'''C'''u''' |'''á'''CC'''u'''C'''el''' | |'''amî'''CC'''u'''C'''i''' |'''amî'''CC'''u'''C'''on''' |'''amî'''CC'''u'''C'''u''' |'''amî'''CC'''u'''C'''el''' |- |Aorist |'''a'''C'''(é/ó)'''CC'''ešī''' |'''a'''C'''(é/ó)'''CC'''ešōn''' |'''a'''C'''(é/ó)'''CC'''ešū''' | | |'''amī'''C'''(é/ó)'''CC'''ešī''' |'''amī'''C'''(é/ó)'''CC'''ešōn''' |'''amī'''C'''(é/ó)'''CC'''ešū''' | |} === Modifiers === Since all the forms that used to be modifiers changed into verbs, new ways of forming modifiers came into use. The basic adjective came from the essive form of the original noun used as the new root. Participles have a slightly more interesting origin. Since the aorist wasn't originally formed from modifiers, its verbal and participial forms remained distinct-its participial form didn't change into a full verb, so, by analogy, the method to form the aorist participle from the aorist verb was used on imperfective and perfect verbs to form their respective participles. {| border=1 | |align="center"|Active |align="center"|Eventive |- |Basic adjective |colspan="2" align="center"|'''ə'''CC'''í'''C'''īs''' |- |Aorist |'''á'''CC'''(e/o)'''C'''eš''' |'''amî'''CC'''(e/o)'''C'''eš''' |- |Imperfective |'''á'''CC'''i'''C'''eš''' |'''amî'''CC'''i'''C'''eš''' |- |Perfect |'''á'''CC'''u'''C'''eš''' |'''amî'''CC'''u'''C'''eš''' |} == Syntax Changes == Word order changed from OSV to VSO.

Some of these terms are used in ways that are particular to this description and should not be taken to be general definitions. __NOTOC__ <center> [[#A|A]] - [[#B|B]] - [[#C|C]] - [[#D|D]] - [[#E|E]] - [[#F|F]] - [[#G|G]] - [[#H|H]] - [[#I|I]] - [[#J|J]] - [[#K|K]] - [[#L|L]] - [[#M|M]] - [[#N|N]] - [[#O|O]] - [[#P|P]] - [[#Q|Q]] - [[#R|R]] - [[#S|S]] - [[#T|T]] - [[#U|U]] - [[#V|V]] - [[#W|W]] - [[#X|X]] - [[#Y|Y]] - [[#Z|Z]] - [[#Index|Index]] </center> ==A== ; adjective : An adjective is a word which describes a property characteristic of the noun which it modifies. Adjectives in Shemspreg are inflected for comparative and superlative degrees. ; adverb : An adverb is a word which modifies a verb or adjective. ; adverbial clause : An adverbial clause is an embedded clause which has adverbial function. ; affricate : An affricate is a consonant which, like a stop, is produced by completely blocking the airflow at some place of articulation but then releasing it with a great deal of friction like a fricative. The affricates of Shemspreg are [ch, j]. ; agent : An agent is a discourse participant which instigates some action or event. ; argument : An argument is a noun phrase which occurs with a verb as part of a proposition. ; aspect : Aspect is a verbal category used to mark the way in whch a situation described by a verb takes place in time. In Shemspreg, there are two aspects: imperfective, which asserts that an action is incomplete; and perfective, which asserts that an action is complete. ==B== ; base : The base is the stem for reduplication. ==C== ; case : Case marks the grammatical function of a noun in a clause. There are three cases in Shemspreg: nominative, genitive, and oblique. ; causative : The causative in Shemspreg is a verbal suffix which has the effect of adding one more argument to the verb. The causative is used for expressing the argument which is the cause of an action in addition to the obligatory arguments required by a verbal stem. ; comparative : The comparative is an inflectional property of adjectives in which two nouns are compared with each other with respect to the degree to which they are characterized by the property referred to by the adjective. ; complex sentence : A complex sentence is formed by embedding a clause within a phrase or clause as a complement or modifier of some sort. Such a sentence will have a single subject, in contrast to a coordinate sentence which is formed by joining two independent sentences together, each with their own subject. ; compounding : Compounds are complex words formed by joining separate words together. ; conditional clause : A conditional clause is an embedded clause which serves to express some hypothetical state of affairs. ; consonant : A consonant is a speech sound which is produced by narrowing or completely obstructing airflow through the vocal tract. ; constituent : A constituent is a syntactic unit which functions as part of a larger unit within a sentence. ; coordinate sentence : Coordinate sentences contain two or more clauses niether of which functions as a grammatical constituent of the other. Clauses of a coordinate sentence in Shemspreg are joined by a coordinating conjunction like =kwe ‘and’ or =we ‘or’. ==D== ; dental/alveolar : Dental/alveolar consonants are produced by touching the tip of the tongue to the back of the upper teeth or to the bony ridge immediately behind the upper teeth (the alveolar ridge). The dental/alveolar consonants of Shemspreg are [t, d, th, dh, n, l, r] and the sibilants [s, z]. ; dependent clause : Dependent clause is another name for an embedded clause. ; direct object : The direct object is the noun phrase which forms part of the verb phrase and which is one of the arguments of the verb. ==E== ; embedded clause : An embedded clause is a clause that serves as a subject, object, or modifier in some larger phrase or clause. ==F== ; fricative : A fricative is a consonant which is produced by passing a continuous stream of air through a narrowed passage in the vocal tract at some place of articulation thereby causing turbulence. ; full grade : The full grade in Shemspreg is the form of the verb which contains an undeleted or unshortened vowel; it is a marker for the present tense. The dictionary entry of a verb is equivalent to the full grade. ==G== ; genitive case : Genitive case marks the grammatical function of possessor and the subject of embedded clauses whose verb is a participle. ; glide : A glide is a vowel-like consonant which is produced when one articulator is close to another but the vocal tract is not sufficiently narrowed to create the audible friction that characterizes fricatives. The glides of Shemspreg are [y, w]. ; grade : Grade refers to the shape of a verbal stem; the verb in Shemspreg can occur in full grade or reduced grade. ==H== ; head : The head is the word which is obligatory in a phrase. It expresses the core meaning of the phrase which contains it. ==I== ; imperative : The imperative is the form of the verb which is used to express commands or obligations. ; imperfective aspect : Imperfective aspect is asserts that the action, event, or process expressed by the verb is incomplete or unbounded. Imperfective aspect in Shemspreg is marked by the prefix e- attached to the past tense stem. ; incorporation : Incorporation is a process similar to compounding which joins a noun with a verb. In incorporating constuctions, the noun represents the direct object of the verb and is always generic in reference. ; intransitive : An intransitive verb is a verb which does not take a direct object. ==J== ==K== ==L== ; labial : Labial consonants are produced with one or both lips. The labial consonants of Shemspreg are [p, b, f, v, m]. ; liquid : The liquids of Shemspreg are [r, l]. There is no single articulatory description of liquids. ==M== ; main clause : The main clause is the sentence which is not part of any other clause. ; manner of articulation : The manner of articulation of a consonant refers to the degree of constriction used in the production of that consonant. Shemspreg distinguishes six manners of articulation: i) stop, ii) fricative, iii) affricate, iv) nasal, v) liquid, and vi) glide. ; modal verb : Modal verbs express concepts of necessity, possibility, obligation, and permission. ; modifier : A modifier restricts the range of possible referents of a noun phrase by more narrowly describing or identifying them. ; mood : Mood is the semantic category expressed by modal verbs and the imperative verb form. That is, mood expresses concepts of necessity, possibility, obligation, and permission ==N== ; nasal : A nasal is a consonant which is produced by simultaneously stopping airflow in the oral tract and lowering the velum to allow air to flow out through the nasal cavity. The nasals of Shemspreg are [m, n]. ; nominative case : Nominative case marks the grammatical function of subject. ; non-past : Non-past tense refers to events, actions, processes or states of affairs which occur after any point before the moment of utterance. It thus encompasses present and future tense. Non-past tense is marked in Shemspreg by the full grade of the verb and the suffix -es. ; noun : A noun is a word which can serve as an argument. ; noun phrase : A noun phrase is a constituent which contains a noun as its head. ==O== ; object : An object is a noun phrase which serves as an argument of a verb or preposition. ; oblique case : Oblique case marks the grammatical function of direct object and object of preposition. ; obstruent : An obstruent is a consonant which is produced with some degree of constriction in the vocal tract. The constriction may be partial, creating turbulence as with fricatives; or it may be complete, blocking airflow as with stops; or it may have both qualities, completely blocking airflow and then releasing it with friction, as with affricates. ==P== ; palato-alveolar : Palato-alveolar consonants are produced by touching the portion of the tongue immediately behind the tip against the alveolar ridge. The palato-alveolar consonants of Shemspreg are [sh, zh, ch, j]. ; participle : A participle is a form derived from a verb which functions as an adjective or noun. ; passive : The passive form of a verb has one fewer argument than the corresponding active form. The argument which is omitted is the agent. ; past tense : The past tense of verbs refers to events, actions, processes or states of affairs which occur before the moment of utterance. In Shemspreg past tense is marked by the reduced grade of the verb and the suffix -i. ; patient : A patient is a discourse participant which undergoes the effects of some action or event. ; perfective aspect : Perfective aspect is asserts that the action, event, or process expressed by the verb is complete or bounded. In Shemspreg perfective aspect is marked by prefixing reduplication and the past tense stem of a verb. ; place of articulation : The place of articulation of a consonant is the location within the vocal tract where the characteristic obstruction occurs in the production of a consonant. In Shemspreg, consonants are produced at five different places of articulation: i) labial, ii) dental / alveolar, iii) palato-alveolar, iv) velar, and v) rounded velar. ; preverb : A preverb is a prefix which attaches to a verb, and which is used to derive additional meanings from the verb stem. The set of preverbs in Shemspreg overlaps considerably with the set of prepositions. ==Q== ==R== ; reduced grade : The reduced grade in Shemspreg is the form of the verb which is characterized by deletion or shortening of the stem vowel; it is a marker of the past tense. ; reduplicant : The reduplicant is the portion of the stem which has been copied by reduplication. ; reduplication : Reduplication is a morphological process in which part or all of the stem is copied and attached to the stem. ; relative clause : A relative clause is a clause which is used to modify a noun. ; rounded velar : Rounded velars are velar consonants produced with simultaneous lip rounding. The rounded velars of Shemspreg are [kw, gw, khw, ghw, w]. ==S== ; sentence : The sentence consists of a verb with its arguments. A sentence may be serve as a constituent of a complex sentence, or function as a simple sentence on its own. ; sibilant : Sibilants are hissing or hushing sounds produced with a great deal of noise. The sibilants of Shemspreg are [s, z, sh, zh, ch, j]. ; sonorant : A sonorant is a consonant which is characterized by voicing and a lack of turbulent airflow. The sonorants of Shemspreg are the nasals [m, n], the liquids [r, l], and the glides [y, w]. ; stop : A stop is a consonant which is produced by completely obstructing the airflow at some place of articulation and then suddenly releasing it. The stops of Shemspreg are [p, t, k, kw, b, d, g, gw]. ; subject : A subject is a noun phrase which serves as the topic of a sentence; it is what the sentence is “about”. ; subordinate clause : Subordinate clause is another name for an embedded clause. ; superlative : The superlative degree of an adjective is used to assert that some noun phrase is unique in that it has the property of the adjective to the greatest degree. ; syntax : The syntax of a language is the set of principles which govern how words are combined together to make phrases and sentences. ==T== ; tense : Tense is a verbal category which expresses the time of an event, action, process, or state of affairs relative to the speaker. Tense in Shemspreg is marked by verbal grade; two tenses are distinguished in Shemspreg: past tense and non-past tense. Tense in Shemspreg is marked by verbal grade and suffixation. ; transitive : A transitive verb is a verb which requires a direct object. ==U== ==V== ; valency : The valency of a verb is expressed by the number of arguments which it requires to form a complete proposition. ; velar : Velar consonants are produced by placing the body of the tongue against the roof of the mouth. The velar consonants of Shemspreg are [k, g, kh, gh]. ; verb : A verb is a word which relates arguments together in an action, event, or state of affairs. ; verb phrase : A verb phrase is a constituent which contains a verb as its head. ; voiced : A speech sound is voiced if it is pronounced with regular vocal fold vibration. ; voiceless : A speech sound is voiceless if it not pronounced with regular vocal fold vibration. ; voicing : Voicing is a parameter of pronunciation which refers to the state of the vocal folds. Shemspreg distinguishes voiced from voiceless consonants. ; vowel : A vowel is a speech sound which is produced without any radical constriction in the vocal tract. The vowels of Shemspreg are [i, e, a, o, u, ii, ee, aa, oo, uu] ==W== ==X== ==Y== ==Z== ; zero derivation : Zero derivation is a morphological process which changes a word of one part of speech to another without any change in form. ==Index== {{Shemspreg Index}} Proto Faraneit to Classical Faraneit Sound and Morphological Changes 4329 54763 2010-07-01T03:02:21Z Humancadaver101 212 /* Phonological Changes */ A number of changes both phonological and morphological distinguish Classical [[Faraneit]] from [[Proto-Rajo-Faraneit]]. Most markedly, the language expanded its voicing distinctions, regularized its vowel system, simplified its internal clusters, and moved from a near isolating structure to a much more aglutinative manner of operating. ==Phonological Changes== *Vowels: **/ɑi ɑu/ > /ɛ ɔ/ **/æi æu/ > /ɛ ɔ/ **/ɛi ei/ > /e i/ **/ou/ > /u/ **/ɑ/ becomes [ə], then is deleted. **/æ/ becomes /a/ **Stress shift makes unstressed previously-allophonic [ɪ ʊ] phonetic. *Approximants: **/ɻ/ > /ɹ/ **/r ɹ/ merge into /r/ **/r/ > /ʀ/ **Terminal /l ɭ/ merge into [ɬ] which then becomes /ɭ/ *Clusters: **/ts ʦ tθ tθ) pf pf) bv bv)/ > /ʦ tθ) pf) bv)/ **/ds sd sb bs/ > /z/ **/df fd fb/ > /v/ **/tx xt dx xd/ > /ç/ **/kx xk sk ks/ > /x/ **Stop1 + Stop2 > Stop1 **Any other combination - the phoneme with greater sonority is preserved *Other Consonants: **Affricates fricate. **Medial /s f θ/ > /z v/ and [ð] **/xi/ ([çi] or medially [ɟi]) > /ç/, /i/ on preserved when stressed **Initial /si/ > /ç/, /i/ only preserved when stressed **Medial /si/ > /ʒ/, /i/ only preserved when stressed **Terminal /θ/ deleted. ==Morphological Changes== *Verbal particles shift to follow verbs, eventually affixing. Previously tense and aspect markers become regularized while person markers are not. Originally, secondary verbs were required to agree with the main verb, but this rule was erased after differing tenses allowed speakers to show the movement of time in the actions. *The word order also became much more regularized. To avoid confusion when both the subject and object were both in third person, a strictly enforced SO pattern evolved. Occasional SVO sentences remained but VSO predominated increasingly. *A class of commonly used adjectives irregularly nasalize their endings, thereby merging the animate (/on/), and inanimate (/om/) markers. Regular adjectives follow suit and fossilize in the inanimate form. The previously mentioned irregular class then shifted to using either -/ɛ~/ or dialectically -/ɪ~/. Each became standard for several of this class of adjectives. They eventually became interpreted as -/ɛn/ or -/ɪn/ depending on the particular adjective. *An original possessive preposition, /ɛɑ/, later /ɛ/, becomes cemented between first the possessed object and finally the possesor or pronominal adjective. *Parrallel to this, the conjunction, /i/, later /ɪ/, became cemented between listed nouns. The word later fell out of other uses, due to confusion with /iɑ/, later /i/, meaning nearby, while the originally phrasial conjunction, /ɑfdiɻ/, later /vir/, meaning additionally, became adopted for other uses of "and".

Franj is a mostly Romance conlang with heavy Turkic influences spoken on an alternate Earth, known, at least in my head, as ''Li Alam''. The speakers of Franj are the descendants of Old French-speaking crusaders and a (here-) fictitious tribe of Nestorian Christian Turkic peoples who moved westward out of Central Asia into the Levant. In the alternate timeline of which the Franj language and people are a part, the various crusader states managed to survive, and eventually coalesced into a single kingdom, called in Franj ''La Regne de las Kroixandes'', or in English, ''the Kingdom of the Crusands''. *[[Franj Language]] *[[Li Alam Historical Overview]] Franj Language 4332 24596 2007-08-19T20:27:38Z Alash 746 New page: *[[Franj Phonology & Script]] *[[Harmony]] *[[Franj Morphology]] *[[Nouns]] *[[Verbs]] *[[Franj Phonology & Script]] *[[Harmony]] *[[Franj Morphology]] *[[Nouns]] *[[Verbs]] Franj Phonology & Script 4333 24597 2007-08-19T21:19:46Z Alash 746 New page: The standard Roman orthography for the Franj language is as follows: {| !

As it lacks an writing system of its own, the only word transcribed into Roman Orthography is the name, for ease with researching it on the internet. =Phonology= Kelsiut distinguishes the following stop phonemes: */p b t d k g/ Fricatives: */f v θ ð s z x ɣ/ Approximants: */l ɹ ɺ/ Nasals: */m n ŋ/ Vowels: */i e ɛ a ɔ o u/ Phonotactics: *(C)V(C) Distribution: */ð z ɣ/ only contrast with their voiced counterparts medially (voicless otherwise) */ŋ n/ only contrast medially (/n/ otherwise) */ɹ ɺ/ only contrast when not in a cluster (/ɹ/ then) =Allophony= *Stress-related allophony: **Stops are aspirated when the onset of a stressed syllable **Unstressed /i u/ become [j w] when they proceed or follow another vowel **Unstressed /i u/ in other environments become [ɪ ʊ] **Other vowels when unstressed slightly centralize *Other allophony: **/si zi xi ɣi/ > [ʃi ʒi çi ɟi] **/ni/ > [ɲi] **/θ ð/ after a rounded vowel > [f v] =Dialectical Variants= A few dialects merge /s z/ with /θ ð/ in all positions, however, this is a minority realization. =Morphology= One two major inflectional morphemes still exist in Kelsiut, given the strong tendency towards isolating forms. The first is the generic pluralizer: -b. A -b is attached to virtually any noun's end to make it plural, but frequently it considered unnecessary as context makes it clear that the thing is plural - so, while important, it is not frequently used. More important than the pluralizer, is usually the sandhi which results. For instance: bel vɔx Could be either- bel vɔx tree pretty pretty tree or underlyingly bel(b) (f)ɔx trees papery papery trees But only context can provide the answer. See [[Sound and Morphological Changes between Kelsiut and Proto-Rajo-Faraneit#Mutations|Kelsiut Mutations]] for more. The other main inflectional morpheme is -k, which actually functions in a variety of ways depending on what it attaches to. Without it the transformational "mood" would need to be entirely different. For instance: ɛf ixi lɛt ɔpuzik θɛkut ɛf ixi lɛt ɔpuzi-k θɛkut 1P.S.NOM break PAST root-TRANS flour I beat the root(s) into flour. It is generally used in similar situations between objects that are equal or interchangable - ɛf bɔnix dɔnk. ɛf bɔnix dɔn-k. 1P.S.NOM eat 3P.S.ANI-TRANS I eat (as much/the same food/etc) as him/her. An inflectional alternation is visible in vɔp/vɔm and xiam/xiap as well, where the -m endings denote an irrealis mood, while the -p endings denote a realis mood. bɔnix vɔp ɛf bɔnix eat CONT-REAL 1.S.NOM eat Eat while I eat. Versus- bɔnix vɔm ɛf bɔnix eat CONT-IRR 1.S.NOM eat Eat while I might too. In the first, the non-imperative action is certain to happen, while in the second it is utterly uncertain. Therefore the first agrees with the realis, while the second takes the irrealis. Nonetheless, analysis is controversial, as this distinction is lacking in all other words in the language. =Syntax= Kelsiut discarded almost every agglutinating or inflecting aspect of its originally less isolating grammar, making it one of the most analytical [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages]]. Its structure is relatively simple, beginning with very regular noun and verb phrase forms, then with larger clauses. ==Noun Phrases== Modifiers to the base noun are divided into four basic categories: prepositions, quantifiers, demonstratives, and other qualifiers. The first two groups uniformally proceed the noun, the other two uniformally follow. Like so: θi muk ti ɽi di lɛ in one house yellow his this In this one yellow house of his As you can see, prepositions must proceed not only the main noun, but all other elements of the noun phrase. Quantifiers then follow, then the noun itself bookended by various other qualifiers, and finally the demonstratives. Genitive adjectives typical settle between the various qualifiers and demonstratives, which as led to a secondary word order of placing related clauses prior to the demonstrative but following the other qualifiers: θi muk ti ɽi xi ixi mɛp lɛ in one house yellow REL break FUT this In this one yellow house that will break ==Verb Phrases== The verbal complements are much more flexible compared to those in noun phrases. Essentially, which ever modifiers are viewed as most important are stressed by being more fronted that the others. ɛf ixi ɔz mɛp detin 1-S-NOM break NEG FUT 3-S-ACC-INANI I will '''''not''''' break it. Here, the negative aspect is stressed more strongly than the future aspect, so naturally it proceeds it. Still, under no circumstances do any adverbial particles proceed the main verb. A less marked way of saying the above would invert the tense and negative markers: ɛf ixi mɛp ɔz detin 1-S-NOM break FUT NEG 3-S-ACC-INANI I '''will''' not break it. While still marking the tense more heavily than the negativity, it serves as a default when neither is more important than the other - making it only a slight stress on the future tense. ==Within Clauses== The nominative subject's clause proceeds most others in general. A fronted prepositional clause is permitted, although it strongly topicalises and stresses the information given in that phrase - making it less frequent option. Following the subject, the verb phrase is placed, and then finally the secondary sections, which follow this order: usk lɛ bɔnix muk ɔpuzi ɽi θi ti di xi ixi mɛp θi ko lɛ i li pa mɛp ti bi. man DEM eat one root yellow in house 3.S.GEN REL break FUT in moment DEM ABL all fall FUT CAUS old This man is eating one yellow root in his house that will break in a moment as all (the parts) fall down because (they're) old. Clearly, direct and indirect objects proceed other noun phrases, but following them, a seemingly endless string of related information can be strung along. Generally, it's formatted with location and time prior to method and cause, but those extra components are rather flexible, and similarly to the verb phrase's subcomponents, they can rearrange easily to show greater weight in the overall meaning. The front of the clause does take the various clausual modifiers, however: xiap usk lɛ bɔnix ɔpuzib... xia-p usk lɛ bɔnix ɔpuzi-b... if-REAL man DEM eat root-PLUR If this man eats some roots... This brings us to the xiap/xiam distinction, which was only perserved in Kelsiut and the Northern branch of Proto-Rajo-Faraneit. Xiap is used when the clause concerns a possiblity, typically the correct conditions that could bring about the result in the secondary clause (as in the above example), otherwise, xiam is used, to denote a different situation from what is real: xiam usk lɛ bɔnix ɔpuzib... xia-m usk lɛ bɔnix ɔpuzi-b... if-IRR man DEM eat root-PLUR If this man would eat some roots... This makes it seem less likely that the man will, and that this is more of a wish than a statement. The other major clausual markers are all aspectual. Aspect, in many languages related to Kelsiut and Kelsiut itself, is handled outside of the main tense conjugations, in many cases with adverbial forms, such as in Kelsiut: vɔp no bɔnix ɔpuzib. CONT-REAL 2.S.NOM eat root-PLUR You are eating roots. (Not, you eat roots) The emphasis of the aspect has shifted from a general and relatively unmarked form into one that specifies that this event is either continuitive (You're in the process of eating roots), habitual (You're always eating roots), or progressive (While you eat roots). As with xiam and xiap, vɔp and vɔm decline for the modality of the phrase (either realis or irrealis), but they are far more ambiguous, as they specify a more spread out aspect in all clauses that they modify, but also function to denote two clauses' events occuring at the same time. More on this in the next section. ==Clauses== Like many [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages]], Kelsiut prefers periphrastic constructions to multiple clause sentences, but such sentences are not entirely absent. For instance: ɛf fɛz xi no bɔnix ɔpuzib ɛf fɛz xi no bɔnix ɔpuzi-b 1.S.NOM believe/think REL 2.S.NOM eat root-PLUR I think that you're eating roots. There is a method that avoids two clauses. With the two clauses method, however, the above is merely the default word order or the form for emphasizing the contents of the second clause. Emphasis can be placed on the first clause by backing it: no bɔnix ɔpuzib xi ɛf fɛz 2.S.NOM eat root-PLUR REL 1.S.NOM think '''''I think''''' that you're eating roots. Notice that xi, merely functions as the barrier between the two clauses not truly belonging to one or the other. This is highly different from the function of vɔp, which clearly belongs to one clause or the other: no on lɛt vɔp ɛf bɔnix lɛt 2.S.NOM watch PAST CONT 1.S.NOM eat PAST You watched while I was eating. But vɔp remains at the front of the secondary clause, even when that clause is fronted: vɔp ɛf bɔnix lɛt, no on lɛt. CONT 1.S.NOM eat PAST, 2.S.NOM watch PAST While I was eating, you watched. Clearly a different paradigm from xi, which also does not agree with either phrase for modality, while vɔp must. Back to the original sentence, almost every modality verb (think, doubt, must, should) which exists in English has a corresponding verb-noun in Kelsiut, which is then used rather strangly to avoid a diclausual sentence: fɛz ɛ bɔnixk nis xi ɔpuzibk. fɛz ɛ bɔnix-k nis xi ɔpuzi-b-k. think 1.S.GEN eat-TRANS 2.S.GEN REL root-PLUR-TRANS (lit) My thinking is your eating that is (of) roots. I think you're eating roots. Unfortunately, this greatly reduces the temporality of the construction. Tense is used by using the (generally adverbial) mɛp or lɛt: fɛz ɛ lɛt bɔnixk nis xi ɔpuzibk. think 1.S.GEN PAST eat-TRANS 2.S.GEN REL root-PLUR-TRANS My thinking was your eating that is (of) roots. I had thought that you were eating roots (and you still are). fɛz ɛ lɛt bɔnixk nis lɛt xi ɔpuzibk. think 1.S.GEN PAST eat-TRANS 2.S.GEN PAST REL root-PLUR-TRANS My think was your eating that was (of) roots. I had thought that you had been eating roots (but no longer are you eating nor am I thinking so). Or, for something more modal, by most values: siɛt di bɔnixk di xi ɔpuzik ri. siɛt di bɔnix-k di xi ɔpuzi-k ri. need 3.S.GEN eat-TRANS 3.S.GEN REL root-TRANS yellow His need is his eating that is (of) yellow roots. He must eat (some) yellow roots. =Kelsiut Divergence From Proto-Rajo-Faraneit= [[Sound and Morphological Changes between Kelsiut and Proto-Rajo-Faraneit]] =Culture= Kelsiut is spoken by a few small settlements in southern Measceineafh. The vast majority of the population lives on small islets within estuary-like floodplains. Typically, the plains are replete with water during the rainy season (winter and spring) due to rainfall as well as the majority of the dry season (summer) due to snowmelt from the eastern mountain range. During the fall, the water level recedes exposing the Kelsiut-speaking communities to Forong and other local raiders as well as Faraneit caravans, which are reputed for their unpredictable behavior towards non-Faraneih within the Measceineafh. The majority of the Kelsiut subsist on a dangerous borderline between foragers and farmers. They are semi-nomadic, shifting camps when the water levels first become easily crossed, resorting to hunting game and gathering from wild food sources. Towards the end of summer, however, they return to their ancestral islets and wait for the rains to refill their natural moats. During the rainy season, they gather food from a few sources on their islet until most sources have dimenished greatly. Then they practice slash and burn agriculture along the opposite banks, rowing across their moats to briefly plant a few vegetables. On the islets, they harvest root-fruits from the puzil trees that grow around their houses and fish intermittantly before their crops are ripe. After harvest, the water recedes and they leave for more fertile pastures temporarily, allowing the islets to recharge with harvestable plants and game. Their culture can easily be divided into the structure used on the islet and those used in the bush. During the dry season, while out in the open land, they follow a more militant paradigm. The groups splinter into smaller bands. Within the bands, women rarely leave the camps. They carry the sleeping mats and watch the children while travelling, but once camp is laid, they remain stationary and forage only within shouting distance. Children (generally defined as pre-pubescents) are permitted even less freedom, remaining within sight of the women in the camp. Men, when not travelling between camps, generally split into different foraging groups, which then disperse in the general area. During the distant foraging operations, the men also scout ahead in case of danger from other ethnic groups. Other bands of Kelsiut-speakers are viewed as both potential trading partners as well as competitors. Usually bands of Kelsiut-speakers which meet in the open country are peaceful to one another and trade news of any Faraneit caravans or other intruders to the area as well as young girls as potential wives. The constant inter-islet interchange of wives has not only permitted the ethnic group to maintain genetic diversity within islets but also maintain some linguistic continuity. During rare periods of extreme famine, contacts between Kelsiut-speakers, particularly of different islets, can only be described as guerrilla warfare. Once returned to the islet, the Kelsiut-speakers' culture dramatically changes methods. Instead of militant and male-dominated, the different summer bands on and islet function similarly to clans in Iroquois society. Agreements about land use or other large issues are discussed by all adults on the island, of both genders, until concensus is reached. Gender roles are much less sharpely defined, as both men and women, unless pregnant, clear the shore's brush to make it suitable for horticulture, as well as gather food and cook it. Men generally fish and women generally harvest the puzil roots, but it is not unheard of for individuals to violate this tendency. Men almost exclusively harvest the shore's crops, however, as it is viewed as potentially dangerous for women to work along the shore during the dry season. Their religion can only be described as animistic, but with some polytheistic aspects.

'''Design principles''' : Nordien is a simplified version of a Germanic conlang. It combines an easy grammar and easy phonology with a vocabulary from taken from other Germanic languages. In spite of the simplification its still sounds natural. '''Language sources''' : Nordien vocabulary is based on [[High German|German]], [[English]], [[Dutch]] and [[North Germanic|Scandinavian languages]]. '''Interest of Others''' :Recently a Wiki Space for Nordien was created, where different contributors develop the language further. A Yahoo Group for Nordien was established recently. Nordien is very easy to learn for speakers of at least one Germanic language. === Phonetics === Nordien's alphabet consists of only 21 letters: A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, U, V, Z Pronunciation of Nordien is very regular and consistent. ''Consonants'' The letters B, D, F, K, L, M, N, P, T, V, and Z are pronounced as in English. Note that: G is always pronounced as in go H is always pronounced as in have J is pronounced as Y in yes R is lightly trilled (or in the throat as in Danish, i.e. softer than in German and Dutch) S is always pronounced as in see The sound of NG in ring is also written as NG in Nordien. This is the only consonant sound that is represented by more than one letter. NG should never be pronounced as two separate sounds. Note that the consonant sounds in the words she, chew, and joy do not exist in Nordien. ''Vowels'' Nordien has only six vowel sounds: A -- as in ah! E -- as in get I -- as in machine O -- as in role U -- as in rule EE -- as in A in late, Ä in German The vowels in Nordien are pronounced with more tension and precision than in English. The rounded vowels O and U are best pronounced with the lips held in a tight circle. === Grammar === '''Pronouns''' The subject pronouns in Nordien are: singular plural first person eg (I) vi (we) second person du (you) jee (you) third person han (he) zi (she)het (it)man (one) dee (they) The object pronouns are: singular plural first person meg (me) os (us) second person deg (you) ir (you) third person han (him) zi (her)het (it)man (one) dem (them) Here are the possessive forms: singular plural first person min (my, mine) vor (our, ours) second person din (your, yours) jeer (your, yours) third person hans (his) zir (her, hers)hets (its)mans (one's) der (their, theirs) '''Nouns ''' As in English, nouns in Nordien are not divided into genders or categories. Only the genetive (possessive) case is marked. The suffix -(e)s is used for this. Example: hund (dog); hunds (dog's) A plural noun is indicated by the suffix -ar. Example: kat (cat); katar (cats) The indefinite article is en, and the definite article is de. Example: en hus (a house); de hus (the house) '''Adjectives and Adverbs''' Adjectives and adverbs take the same form in Nordien. They can only be differentiated by context. Adjectives are placed before the noun they describe. Adverbs can be placed more freely in a sentence, but their most logical placement for the intended meaning is preferred. The comparative and superlative are always formed with the suffixes -re and -ste respectively. '''Verbs''' Verb formation in Nordien is simple and entirely regular. There are also no different conjugations for the different persons. There are three verb suffixes that are added to the root to arrive at the correct form: -en is used for the infinitive -e is used for the present tense -ende is used for the progressive -te is used for the past tense and past participle The imperative form is the bare root itself. To form the future tense, the auxiliary skal is used. Similarly, for the conditional mode, skul is used. Examples: Zi vile singen (She wants to sing) Dee skal komen (They will come) Han skul haven spelte (He would have played) Note that verbs occur in the same place in the sentence as in English. They are not moved to the end of certain clauses as in German. '''Word formation''' Nordien uses affixes to modify the meaning of the root word. Here are some of these: -bel - multiple (tvobel - double) -er - agent, tool, person (baker - baker) -et - ordinal number (tvoet - second) -het - -ness (gladhet - happiness) -ien - person from a place (Kanadien - Canadian) -ig - adjective (pertaining to the root) (basig - basic) -in - specifically female (levenin - lioness) -ir - make, render (svartiren - to blacken) -let - smaller (buklet - booklet) -ling - offspring (hundling - puppy) -mal - repetition (tvomal - twice) -ning - noun from verb (beslisning - decision) -ort - place (grindort - mill) -sam - adjective (full of, like a) (smartsam - painful) -ska - language or adjective of place (Svenska - Swedish) -tel - fraction (tvotel - half) '''Numbers''' The Nordien numbers are: 0 - nul 1 - en 2 - tvo 3 - tri 4 - fir 5 - fiv 6 - seks 7 - siven 8 - akt 9 - neen 10 - ten 100 - hundred 1000 - tusen 1,000,000 - miljon These are combined logically in a single word to form other numbers. Examples: tenen - eleven (ten and one) tvotenfir - twenty-four (two tens and four) tvotusenakthundredtenfir - two-thousand eight-hundred fourteen Ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix -et. Examples: tvoet - second fivet - fifth firtensivenet - forty-seventh '''Questions''' In Nordien, questions are formed by inverting the subject and verb. Examples: Kene du han? - Do you know him? Ere de stad grot? - Is the city large? Va skal vi lesen? - What will we read?

Marriages within the patrilineal family are considered incestuous within five degrees of separation. However, marriage to the child(ren) of one's father's sister or one's mother's siblings are not taboo.<p> == "Levirate" Marriage == &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;If a Rorapori dies in a monogamous marriage, and the man's father is still alive, his, the deceased's, eldest brother, or his immediately younger brother if the deceased brother is the eldest, <i>must</i> marry the widow and raise the children. If the father is dead, the youngest brother then marries the widow, following [[#Ultigeniture|Rorapori ultigeniture]]. This is the only circumstance under which polygynous <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_marriage group]</span> marriage is permissible. == Polyandrous Marriage == &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Polyandrous marriages are not uncommon, and their logic seems to derive from both a desire to hold wealth and [[#Ultigeniture|inheritance]] within one generation, and to ensure no child is raised without a father. Polyandrous marriages are always fraternal, and arranged by the eldest brother in the union, with permission of his father and his elder brothers. The younger male partner(s) have no say. The younger husband(s) need not be of age, although they can be no more than twelve years younger than the eldest husband. If the younger husbands are not of age at the time of the marriage, they take altered form of their surname and have no rights to any children their wife bears during their, the younger husbands', minority. == Ultigeniture == ~ Nole Silinel 4341 25879 2007-10-01T23:45:52Z Erelion12 120 /* Monarchy in Nole Silinel */ Nole Silinel is one of the Nestean Kingdoms of southern Andolien. ==History== The history of Nolë Silinel is long by the standards of men, because the Nestë are a long lived species, whose eldest die at ages in excess of 3000 years. The history of Nolë Silinel covered around 15000 years, however for much of that time, no records were recorded. ===Kings of Nolë Silinel=== The country only had six kings in this long span of time. The following table gives the names of these kings and their relationships to one another {| border = 1 ! '''Name''' ! '''Father''' |- | '''Lastamir Turnirolion''' | Nukonis Meunaril |- | '''Nossanë Nosmaravos''' | Lastamir Turnirolion |- | '''Imavë Tilnondo''' | Lastamir Turnirolion |- | '''Essiva Nanthalonistë''' | Imavë Tilnondo |- | '''Imulos Ivanorë''' | Essiva Nanthalonistë |- | '''Viunwë Silion''' | Imulos Ivanorë |} ===The Age of Learning=== ===The Downfall=== ===The Renaissance=== ==Government== Nole Silinel is a Representational Democracy in the context of a strong Constitutional Monarchy. It is based upon the major principles of Nestean philosophy, which both recognizes the free will of all people as a product of the 'divine will' and realises that free will can be dangerous if not exersized with the proper wisdom and experience. This has led to the basics of the government system of Nole Silinel as well as laying the groundwork for other Nestean countries. ===Monarchy in Nole Silinel=== The Monarch is the Head-of-State and notional Head-of-Government, although that office is ''de facto'' held by either a Crown Minister or another member of the Cabinet. The monarch's role is to symbolise the fundamental ideas of Nestean society: Freedom and Justice. Furthermore, because Orenyaic thought posits these ideas as 'emmanations of the beauty of the Will of God', the monarch represents the nation's personal relationship with the immanent divinity of God - i.e. a king is head of the State Religion. It is important to recognize, however, that he is constitutionally the ''representative'' of these concepts and not the ''embodiment'' of them on earth. That is, the monarch is not himself the 'beauty of the Will of God', and hence does not rule through divine right. Rather, he rules by consent of the governed, a constitutional precept which has important consequence in actual political occurances. As the fount of Freedom, the presence of the Monarchy ensured the protection of freedom. This constitutional principle took its outward form in two ways. The first was the role of the monarch in approving elections. He or his representatives would officially declare dates and locations and ensure that votes were counted in an appropriate manner. In order to prevent corruption, a monarch who attempted to rig the vote in his favour would be considered to have forfeited is right to the Crown by the legislature. This would result in a general halting of governmental processes as the legislature would refuse (and indeed be ''de jure'' unable ) to fulfill its functions in a state where freedom had been destroyed. Generally, this would be enforced through a forced abdication of the monarch - something which never occured in the history of the state. The second way the Monarch ensured the protection of freedom was through his ability to veto policies attempted by the Government. His veto had to be wielded in an extremely cautious manner, and was referred to as a 'reserve power'. If a Government attempted to seize power for itself and enact policies dangerous to the democracy, the Monarch was required to demand a public referendum on the Government. A negative response would result in a veto. If the Monarch did not call for a referendum before issuing a veto, this was viewed as a forfeiture of the Crown by the legislature. It is important to note that the Monarch had no power of veto over legislation arising from non-governmental councillors, as these were seen as publically mandated. Oversight of these bills would always be the purview of the King's Council. It was only legislation arising as part of the policy of a given Government and directly connected with it that could be affected. In practice a veto was rarely used, since, its use would abrogate the King's Council's normal right to oversee all bills originating in the legislature, whether they were part of Governmental policy or not and hence create a situation where the protection of freedom in general curtailed the freedoms of a specific group. ===Legislative Council=== The '''Legislative Council''' or <'''Ivanari Denimëa'''>, ''Family of the People'', was made up of politicians elected at popular elections that were called at various times by the Government. Once elected to the council, these politicians were termed <'''paidë'''>, ''shepherd''. In English, it is common to refer to these ''shepherds'' as councillor. They were representatives of the 13 districts of the kingdom and served with no term limit, unless ousted by a vote in council. A councillor could also be sent out of office by the natural elective process. Elections were held at irregular intervals but were necessary whenever a Government fell. The King approved of the elections directly with no official input by the '''King’s Council'''. Thus they were upheld as the major way the Monarchy protected the freedoms of the people, without the influence of his appointees (the nobility). The legislature had broad powers over law-making and taxation and was the national forum to debate issues arising at the local level that may have consequences for the nation as a whole. Outside of their ability to control taxation, the legislature had little power over foreign affairs. ===The King's Council=== The '''King’s Council''' or <'''Fiena Denihwië'''>, ''Fireplace of the King'', was elected by the people from the nobility – who were the heirs of various philosophic, religious and military families. These families were ennobled directly (i.e. with no formal advice from ministers of Government) by the king for services to their country and were entrusted by the Monarchy to educate and prepare their members for leadership positions. Elections to the King’s Council were called by the King at intervals of around 100 years and were also necessary when a Government fell. Having been elected to the council, these nobles (<'''nilli'''>) became known as <'''hyanë'''>, ''elders''. This council could introduce some legislation, but their major function was to delay and amend legislation in accordance with the (unwritten) constitutional ideals of the nation (an interpretation in context of Nestean philosophy). The council was also one of the higher courts of the nation, dealing with crimes committed against the state. ===The Crown Ministers=== The '''Crown Ministers''' (<'''Rani nismië'''>) were two officials appointed directly to the '''Cabinet''' by the King. They were selected from among the nobility and usually from among the same few families. These Crown ministers were '''The Lord of Dorusse''' and '''Prince of Lannelka'''. The Lord of Dorusse was an important position within the cabinet, usually amounting to either a kind of prime minister or commander-in-chief, depending on the time period and circumstances. In addition to the title of Lord of Dorusse, he/she had the title '''Lord Steward of the King's Light''', which referred to the special relationship that this position had with the monarch. The Prince of Lannelka, by contrast was a sinecure position with an often minor or non-existent role. He/she had the privilege of sitting on the '''Cabinet'''. Additionally, the position came with large land holdings in the northeast part of the country. ===The Cabinet=== The '''Government''' or '''Cabinet of Ministers''' was the actual executive of the country. It was made up of members of both the King’s Council and the Legislative Council. Those legislative councilors who made up the majority party in the legislature were entitled to choose from among their party membership individuals to head a Government. They were then formally approved of by the king and given the ability to rule. In order to do this effectively however, they needed to form an alliance with the majority party of the King’s Council, since that body had oversight and amendment powers over bills originating in the legislature. The Cabinet of Ministers also included nobles holding '''Dignitary Positions''' – i.e. crown appointments. Finally, it included the Crown Ministers. Dignitary positions were important ministerial positions which were appointed by the King under recommendation from the Cabinet. The King had the special right to call upon a new Government to nominate any nobles (not just those sitting in the King's Council) for certain dignitary positions. These positions varied among successive governments and were created as needed by the King. They were positions of special importance, such as the military position of '''Mareschal-of-the-Horse''' and the judicial position of '''Seneschal-of-the-Household'''. The king was duty bound to appoint only from among the nominees to these positions. However, he was usually swayed in his opinion by both the Government and his personal biases. ==Regions== Nolë Silinel was divided into four main geographic regions. The main inhabited area was the '''Green Hill Country''' (<'''Pendenya Nelëa'''>). This was a region of rolling hills and wide valleys covered with trees and fields. It was roughly 400 miles in width and 170 miles from south to north. It was cut off from the rest of the kingdom by a high escarpment on the north and east, pierced in three places by the main rivers of the kingdom. On the west, the change to higher elevations was less abrupt; instead the rolling hills were gradually replaced by peaks of approximately 800 to 1500 meters in height. In the northeast, the basin of '''Lannelka''' extended from the escarpment to a group of hills around 200 miles to the north. It was bounded on the west by the '''Oloril''' river, on the north by the '''Lëannir''' river and the hills, on the east by the hills, on the south by the escarpment and the '''Silmostanir''' river. In the north, the mountain '''Lordship of Dorussë''' spread for 500 miles, from the last '''sentinel''' hill upon which the city was built in the east to the lake of '''Kirasar''' in the west. It was sparsely populated, although many of its wider dales held large farms and upon many of the hills sheep were pastured. The west was a wide land which was under the official jurisdiction of the '''Lord Chancellor for the Western Department''', a dignitary in the '''Cabinet'''. It was approximately 500 miles from the southern shores of '''Kirasar''' in the north to the shores of the sea in the south. It had many small streams and wide valleys and was heavily populated. Upon a peak above the waterfall of the '''Kamordun''' river, the tower and city of '''Falmostari''' guarded the pass over the escarpment. In the far west of this region the land was bounded by a wide and shallow river, upon whose banks the city of '''Loisammornë''' was situated. [[Image:NoleSilinel.jpg]] ==Cities== There were four main cities in Nolë Silinel. The capital was '''Mar Silinestin''', in the south of the country. The northernmost city was '''Dorussë'''. The other two cities, '''Falmostari''' and '''Loisammornë''' were in the west of the country. ===Mar Silinestin=== Mar Silinestin (or Silinestin) was built upon three small islands just before the Oloril river enters its delta. The largest of these islands is 11 miles across and 3 miles wide. It is mostly low lying, except for a large hilly area in the middle, extending to the southwest. The city itself is ==Languages== Two languages were spoken in '''Nolë Silinel''': Lannelka or Northern Silic and [[SILINDION]] Arkan 4342 40174 2008-11-25T21:51:34Z Fordsmender 742 {| style="width: 400; background: #ddffdd; border: 1pt solid #aaaaaa; margin: 2.5% 2.5%; padding: 0 10px" | '''Note on transliteration in this article:'''<br />This article makes use of more than one transliteration scheme.

Continental Reddic is spoken along the western shores of Kepperland Proper. The language commonly referred to as "River Kepper" is unique in both its being the largest Continental Reddic language, and in its liberal borrowings from the Odic languages. Red is the only literary language. Bins is known only from the so-called "Salt-Stone Inscriptions." The exact genetic relationships between the "Itic" and "Odic" languages are heavily disputed, and their accepted designations are largely geographic; the Itic languages are spoken in relative proximity to the the River Ixit (called <i>ı̦̔t</i> in Sqı̦̔rta̔), and the Odic ones by the Oso (Sq. <i>oda̔</i>). Ćheū is spoken on the barrier islands south of the Pinnic Peninsula, and Qeuvlot is spoken entirely within Tæblande, though the Qeuvles seem to have been recently driven from their original territories by the Qehols. Sqı̦̔rta̔ is the largest Itic language and is used as a business and commerce language throughout the Northern Kepperlands; Fintheok and Megferian share this role in the South. The Ixnic languages, or "Marsh Kepper," are considered to be Pagric largely by virtue of their location. They exhibit the most innovation of the Pagro-Pinnic languages, including an split ergative morphosyntactic scheme which seems to have arisen <i>a priori</i>, and not from the original postulated Proto-Arkan grammatical system. They lack entirely a series of uvular consonants (the [q] in, for example, Tæblandic <i>arq</i> "blossoming," or in Sq. <i>Qe̔parro̔nt</i>, "Kepperlands"), but boast both voiced and voiceless dental fricatives ([θ] and [ð]), found nowhere else in Pagric, and thought to be borrowed from the North Hapori languages, Rorapori, Lyapori, and Mišfola. Ixnic languages also have a tendency to transform inherited aspirates into affricates: Sq. <i>paga̔rt</i>, but Fth. <i>ford</i>; Sq. <i>qe̔par</i>, Psg. <i>ksiar</i>. == Reddic == === Continental === === Insular === == Pinnic == === Tæbic === === Uoqsaic === == Pagric == === Odic === === Itic === === Ixnic === The term "Ixnic" derives from Sq. <i>ı̦̔xni̔</i>, [joʃʲʃʲɳə], "bogland."

Standalone consonants (except for /n/) assimilate in voicing with the next consonant, although /l/ is considered unvoiced for this purpose. /n/ assimilates in place of articulation with the next consonant, and so may be realized as any of [m n ɳ ŋ ɴ] ([ɴ] occurs before /ʔ/, but this sound can also be merged with [ŋ]). A standalone consonant attaches to the previous syllable if this is possible, then to the next syllable if this is possible, then to a dummy syllable /ʔa/ if neither is possible. At the beginning or end of a syllable, a single consonant is possible, as is /s/+C. At the end, C+/s/ and /n/+C are also possible. The glottal stop /ʔ/ varies freely with zero except in very careful speech. Intervocalically, it is pronounced as a semivowel based on the frontness and roundedness of the previous vowel, except when that vowel is /a/. For example, /iʔo yʔo uʔo ɯʔo/ are realized as [ijo yɥo uwo ɯɰo]. ==Romanization== Consonants are romanized as in [[IPA]] except for /c ɟ ç ʝ/, which are romanized <ch j sh zh>. /ʔ/ is not written except when it is between a consonant and a vowel within one word, in which case it is written as a dash (<->) separating two syllables. Standalone consonants are phonetically transcribed, taking assimilation into account by writing one of <z m d b g>. Standalone [ɳ ŋ ɴ] are all transcribed as <n>, and standalone /k/ is written as <c> for esthetic reasons. The vowels /i e a o u/ are written as in IPA. /y ø æ ɑ ɤ ɯ/ are transcribed as <ü ö ä å ë ÿ>, respectively. ==Grammar== ===Word order=== The basic word order is SVO. The object is optional, and the subject may be left out if the topic is known, although generally a sentence consisting only of one verb is not permissible. Sometimes dropping the subject can cause ambiguity, in which case it must be included for clarity, even if it is only the placeholder word ''ÿ''. ===Verbal morphology=== Verbs are marked for two attributes: [[aspect]] and [[voice]]. The aspect may be ''imperfective'' or ''perfective'', and the voice may be ''active'' or ''passive''. Aspect is indicated by placing a single-consonant morpheme before the verb: ''s'' for imperfective and ''n'' for perfective. Imperfective aspect is used for incomplete or ongoing actions, while perfective aspect is used for state-of-being or for actions which have been completed and have not been undone. Voice is also indicated by a single-consonant morpheme: ''s'' for active and ''n'' for passive. This morpheme goes after the verb. Active voice means that the subject is the agent and the object is the patient. Passive voice means that the subject is the patient and the object is the agent. In either case, the object is optional. For example, in imperfective aspect and active voice, the verb ''-z güs'' means "to make (something) red". By changing the aspect to perfective, the word becomes ''-n güs'', "to have made (something) red". If we now change the voice to passive, it becomes ''-n gün'', meaning "to have been made red (by something)", and so if there is no object, it means simply "to be red". Finally, changing the aspect to imperfective yields ''-s gün'', which means "to be made red (by something)" or, in the absence of an object, "to be made red" (by something)" or, in the absence of an object, "to become red". ===Ditransitive verbs=== Låzhö uses dechticaetiative alignment, meaning that the recipient is treated as the object, while the theme is specially marked with the prefix ''u''. The theme comes after the object. For example, ''-s fus'' means "to give". A sentence of the form "A gives B to C" is expressed as '''A'''''s fus'' '''C''' ''u'' '''B''', where A, B, and C are the donor, theme, and recipient respectively. ''-S lås'' ("say") is another ditransitive verb, where the words being said are the theme and the person being spoken to is the recipient. ===Clauses=== ====Subordinate==== A subordinate clause is usually opened with ''t'' and closed with ''c''. More rarely, ''p'' is used instead of ''t'', which occurs when the speaker is saying that the clause is true (as opposed to ''t'', which makes no statement about the truth of the clause). A subordinate clause like ''-t''/''-p'' '''X''' ''c'' is treated as a noun meaning "the fact that (X)". At the end of a sentence, ''c'' may be omitted, although it is always included in the examples in this article for clarity. When reporting speech indirectly in a subordinate clause, pronouns are always used as if they were direct. For example, the sentence ''Ös lås ut soz ŋos choc'' is translated as "The person says that he/she is drinking water", but the literal meaning is "The person says that '''I''' am drinking water". This is because the statement is from the person's perspective, and in that case "I" is the way to refer to that person. ====Relative==== Like subordinate clauses, relative clauses are enclosed in ''t--c'', and ''c'' can be omitted at the end of a sentence. Within the clause, the word being relativized is replaced by the relative pronoun ''ë''. The relative clause comes after the word it modifies. For example: ''Chot öz ŋos ëc'' = "The water that the person is drinking". When the relative pronoun is the first word in the clause, it can be (and usually is) omitted. For example, the previous phrase can be reworded as ''Chot azŋon öc'' by changing the voice to passive, switching the subject and object, and then dropping ''ë'', which is now at the beginning of the sentence. Because of this, in a subordinate clause the subject cannot be dropped, since otherwise it would look like a relative clause. ===Questions=== A declarative sentence can be made into a question by enclosing the entire sentence in ''t--c'', just like a clause. For example, ''Gez ŋos'' means "You eat/drink", and ''At gez ŋosc'' means "Are you eating/drinking?" ===Serial verbs=== Serial verbs can be used to provide tense and mood information about the main verb. The main verb comes last, and various auxiliaries come before it. Auxiliary verbs do not have voice, since they have no object as such, so there is no voice-indicating morpheme after them. The aspect of an auxiliary verb is usually perfective, but imperfective can be used to express a changing mood. For example, the sentence ''Soz ŋos'' means "I am eating/drinking" in a tense-neutral way. The auxiliaries ''-m bu'', ''-n cha'', and ''-n sa'' can be put before the main verb to express explicit tense: e.g., ''Som buz ŋos'' "I ate/drank" and so on. Other verbs that can be used as auxiliaries are ''-n chi'' ("to be able to...") and ''-n gu'' ("to quickly do X"). So ''Son chiz ŋos'' means "I can eat/drink" and ''Son guz ŋos'' means "I am quickly eating/drinking". If we change the aspect of the auxiliary verbs to imperfective, then the sentences become ''Sos chiz ŋos'' ("I am acquiring the ability to eat/drink") and ''Soz guz ŋos'' ("I am accelerating my pace of eating/drinking"). ===Serial nouns=== Nouns are compounded right-branchingly, the reverse of languages like [[German]] or [[Chinese]]. That is, the head of the noun phrase comes first, while its modifiers come after it. For example, the word ''zevä'', meaning "night", is composed of ''ze'' ("time") and ''vä'' ("star"). Noun compounding also can indicate possession, with the possessor coming after the possessed. For example, ''cho so'' means "my water", literally "water me". The particle ''e'', translating roughly as "of", is used to separate the constituents of a large compound noun phrase that might otherwise run together and create confusion. For example, a phrase like "the cryptographer's berry-juice" would be rendered as ''ŋodÿmäki e öchituŋä'', since if the ''e'' were left out, then the result, ''ŋodÿmäkiöchituŋä'', means "food/drink liquid fruit small person ability writing secret", which is confusing even if not wholly incomprehensible. Of course, long compound nouns can be used deliberately to confuse outsiders. ===Parts of speech=== ====Nouns and verbs==== In principle any noun can be used as a verb by surrounding it with aspect and voice markers. However, not all of them make sense. For example, the noun ''të'' means "knowledge", and the verb ''-s tës'' means "to teach". Both nouns and verbs can be modified by relative clauses. In the case of a verb being modified, the relative clause comes immediately after the voice marker. For example: ''-z ŋos'' "to eat/drink"; ''-z ŋost anjönc'' "to pleasantly eat/drink". The relative clause is ''-t anjönc''. ====Determiners==== Certain pronouns cannot be possessed: * ''so'': I, me * ''ge'': you * ''shë'': you and me (the two of us) * other personal pronouns * ''ku'': this * ''te'': that * ''po'': what * ''shö'': all * ''be'': each * ''che'': any * ''fä'': other When one of these words is placed in the position of a possessee, it is taken to modify the "possessor". For example, ''ku ŋodÿmäki'' means "this berry-juice", and ''ge zögä'' means "you leader". ====Conjunctions==== Conjunctions may be used to connect clauses (both subordinate and relative), nouns, and verbs. When more than one relative clause modifies the same word, a conjunction is inserted between them only if it is not "and". In that case, simple juxtaposition of the relative clauses indicates that both modify the word before them. ====True adjectives==== Most expressions translated into English as adjectives are actually relative clauses. There are only a few "true adjectives" in Låzhö, which generally indicate the speaker's thoughts about a particular item in the sentence. They are placed after the modified word. For example, ''lö'' (which means "yes" by itself) when placed after a word indicates "indeed", as if the speaker were contradicting an opposing statement that someone else said. Also ''kila'' means "just, only", as if it would not be expected that something would be so limited in scope. ====Referents==== Referents are used to clarify references to previous words. These are words for "he", "she", "it", and "do", but there are different words depending on what is being referenced. The rules for which word to use are given in the dictionary. Like determiners, referents cannot be possessed, and can also be used to modify another word by putting the referent before the other word. ====Articles==== There is only one article: ''o'', the indefinite article. It is attached to the end of the word it is associated with. In the absence of ''o'', if a word is used more than once, it is understood to be referring to the same thing as before. ===SOV word order and double subjects=== Sometimes, adhering to the usual SVO word order is extremely awkward, usually because of a long phrase modifying the verb that would otherwise separate the object far from the verb. In this case, SOV order can be used by separating the subject and object with the particle ''u'' (the same word used for ditransitive sentences). A few verbs are obligated to take a double subject, such as ''-n nös'' "to be on either side of". The two subjects are also separated by ''u'', and if the voice is changed, both subjects must be moved after the verb. ===Expressions of implication=== Implication is expressed with the word ''-m fÿs'', which means "implies" (the aspect is perfective because implication is a state, not an action). The subject and object may be either subordinate clauses or nouns. By changing the voice to ''-m fÿn'', the meaning becomes "because (of)". As mentioned earlier, there are two types of subordinate clauses: ''p-c'' clauses (ones that the speaker is saying are true, opened with ''p'' and closed with ''c'') and ''t-c'' clauses (ones that are not necessarily true, opened with ''t'' and closed with ''c''). Combined with mood and tense markers, variou types of implication expressions can be formed. Note: ''-m bu'' is the past tense marker, ''-n cha'' present, and ''-n sa'' future; ''-n tå'' means "habitually do something". * ''t'' '''A''' ''c am fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': If A, then B. A timeless statement. * ''t'' '''A''' ''c am bum fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': If A had happened, then B would have happened. A did not happen. * ''t'' '''A''' ''c an cham fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': If A is happening now, then B would also be happening. * ''t'' '''A''' ''c an sam fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': If A happens, then B will happen (in the future). * ''t'' '''A''' ''c an tåm fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': While A endures, B endures. A is not necessarily true. * ''t'' '''A''' ''c am bun tåm fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': If A had endured, then B would have endured. A did not endure. * ''t'' '''A''' ''c an chan tåm fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': If A is ongoing now, then B would also be ongoing. * ''t'' '''A''' ''c an san tåm fÿs t'' '''B''' ''c'': If A endures (in the future), then B will also endure. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c am fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': A, therefore B. A timeless statement expressing a general truth. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c am bum fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': When A happened, B happened as a result. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c an cham fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': Because A is happening now, B is also happening. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c an sam fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': When A happens, B will happen (in the future). We know that A will happen. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c an tåm fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': Because A endures, B endures. A is true, and the statement is timeless and expresses a general truth. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c am bun tåm fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': While A endured, B also endured. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c an chan tåm fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': Because A is ongoing now, B is also ongoing. * ''p'' '''A''' ''c an san tåm fÿs p'' '''B''' ''c'': As long as A endures, B will also endure. If A is in a ''p-c'' clause and B is in a ''t-c'' clause, then the interpretation is that we know A, and that ought to imply B, but we are not sure of B. On the other hand, if A is in a ''t-c'' clause and B is in a ''p-c'' clause, then we know B, and we know that A would cause B if A were true, but we are not sure about A. To express "because", we switch the subject and object and change the voice. ===Comparatives and superlatives=== To express a comparative, modify the word that is being compared with a relative clause using either the verb ''-n nen'' ("exceed"), ''-n jån'' ("equal"), or ''-n lën'' ("be less than"). For example, starting from the sentence ''Son jöz ge'' "I like you", we can make ''Son jöz get an nen te öc'' ("I like you who exceed that person", or "I like you more than [I like] that person"). We can also make ''Sot an nen te öc an jöz ge'' ("I who exceed that person like you", or "I like you more that that person [does]"); and, if we modify the verb, ''Son jöst an nen an näs ac ge'' ("I like which exceeds dislike you", or "I like you more than [I] dislike [you]"). A superlative is the same as a comparative, except the object of the comparing verb is the word ''be'', meaning "each [thing, person, etc.]". Less commonly, ''shö'' is used, which expresses the meaning "everything put together". ==How to use the dictionary== The dictionary is located [[Låzhö dictionary|here]]. The Låzhö words are listed in the left column, and their meanings on the right. In the "monosyllabic" section, entries are given even for meaningless syllables so that meanings can be assigned to them later. The parts of speech are indicated as follows: * ''adj.'' = true adjective * ''conj.'' = conjunction * ''det.'' = determiner (including personal pronouns) * ''n.'' = noun * ''ref.'' = referent * ''vss.'' = imperfective-active verb * ''vns.'' = perfective-active verb * ''vsn.'' = imperfective-passive verb * ''vnn.'' = perfective-passive verb * ''vs-aux.'' = imperfective auxiliary verb * ''vn-aux.'' = perfective auxiliary verb Definitions given in quotation marks are explanations of the grammatical functions of words rather than definitions as such. For example ''o'' does not mean "indefinite article", but rather it '''is''' the indefinite article. (+X) means that X should be added after the word to complete the meaning. In particular, (+u) indicates that the "object" (given as "sth." or "smn.") should be preceded by ''u''. Because of the way the definitions are written, it is difficult to search for the word that means "to be" or "become". That word is ''ZÄ''.

It is a descendant of Classical Imperial, with significant influence from the creole languages of the Empire. Its ancestor during the pre-contact era has been identified with the [[Archaic Imperial (Empire-in-the-West)|Archaic Imperial]] of the runic carvings from the Early Empire, but is better known from the reconstructions based on its current descendants. A Proto-Eastern language has been reconstructed, but is not attested. Throughout its history, the Imperial language has been influenced by the Western language, the creole varieties between the later and itself, the Pygmy language, and a little-known neighbour to the east, likely the people from whom they learned steel-smelting. Towards the end of the Early Empire period, richer burghers of Capital City began to borrow constructions and forms from Classical to 'elevate' their dialect, which had considerable influence from Western and the creoles. The court nobility eventually adopted this variety, and with the ascendancy of the court in the Regency period, it spread its influence over the whole Empire, establishing itself as the standard. Much of the old territorial nobility refused to give up their regional varieties, but even in these cases, standardization of grammar and lexicon occurred, leaving the Empire with a single written standard and a single prescriptive norm of pronunciation. == Phonology == ===Phonemic Inventory=== Consonants {| border=1 !POA |align=center| Labials |align=center| Dentals |align=center| Palatals |align=center| Velars |align=center| Gutturals |- !

The lax allophones of /i e A o u/ are [I E a O U]. *Long vowels are only realized as phonetically long in stressed syllables *Short vowels are reduced word finally, and before a consonant cluster containing a fortis phoneme. *The reduced vowels differ by region, but the Capital Region has /i e a/->[@] and /u o/->[U] *These reduced vowels are also subject to elision, which is allowed or prohibited based on the ensuing consonant cluster. =====Neutralizations===== The three-way distinction between short, long lax, long tense vowels is neutralized before /r/, /l/, and /n/: {| border=1 ! Vowel|| _/r/ || _/l/ || _/n/ |- |align=center| i || [I6] || [I@l], [IU] || I~(:) |- |align=center| e || [E6], [E:] || [E@l], [EU] || E~(:) |- |align=center| a || [A:] || [Q:l], [O:] || a~(:) |- |align=center| o || [O:] || [O:l], [O:] || O~(:) |- |align=center| u || [U6] || [U@l], [U:] || U~(:) |- |align=center| /y: 2:/ || [3:] || [3:l], [8U] || I~(:) |} =====Diphthongs===== There are no phonemic diphthongs in MSI, but the vowels /i u/ are realized as semivowels [j w] when unstressed and adjacent to another short vowel. The resulting phonetic diphthongs are somewhat variable in pronunciation, especially in speakers influenced by regional varieties. ===Phonotactics=== ===Suprasegmentals/Prosody=== ====Pitch-Accent/Tone==== The phonetic realization of pitch in MSI resembles a tone system, but it is better analyzed as a pitch-accent. Only the stressed syllable of a word bears a phonemic tone; the other syllables of the word can be assigned a tone based on this. ====Stress Rule==== For the purposes of assigning stress, syllables in MSI can be divided into light, medium, and heavy: Light: (C)V Medium: (C)V(C) or (C)V: Heavy: (C)V:C The stressed syllable is the heaviest of the last three; if two or more of these syllables are 'tied' in weight, the last of them takes stress. All consonants that form part of an admissible initial cluster are assigned to the following vowel. If a word stressed on the antepenultimate takes a suffix that adds a syllable, the stress is assigned instead to the new antepenultimate; likewise for words stressed on the penultimate with two-syllable suffixes. Compound words keep the stress of their components, though they may be reinterpreted as single words, especially if either of the components falls into disuse. Especially long words often assign a secondary stress to another heavy syllable earlier in the word; the rules for this are rather more complex, as they take into account the elision of reduced vowels and the clusters that develop. The overall tendency is for stressed syllables (primary or secondary) to alternate with unstressed ones. ====Pitch assignment==== The stressed syllable can be high or low, and both can be either level or falling. These tones correspond to different initial or coda consonants in Archaic Imperial (see Tonogenesis below). The other syllables tend to have pitches that maximize the contrast with the stressed syllable: a low accent is surrounded by high syllables, and a high one by low. /X.H.X->[L.H.L] /X.L.X->[H.L.H] Falling accents lower the following syllable, but have no effect on the preceding. High syllables become mid, and low syllables become creaky. /X.H↘.X/->[L.H.C] /X.L↘.X/->[H.L.M] A final falling tone is realized on the vowel itself: high falling, or low creaky. Other syllables tend to alternate between low and high, with the exception that an unstressed ultimate is always low unless a low accent precedes it. This pattern may be disrupted by elision of reduced vowels, and by applying secondary stress to other long vowels, which then realize their phonemic tone. These complications have led some to analyze tone as phonemic on all vowels in MSI. Some regional varieties apply the alternating pitch after vowel elision, which leads to more regular patterns, but often very different ones than MSI. ====Tonogenesis==== ====Tone sandhi==== ====Intonation==== ===Assimilation & Sandhi=== ==Morphosyntax== ===Parts of Speech=== ====Nouns==== Nouns in MSI include essentially all words from a root that aren't verbs. Many nouns have a transparent relation to one or more verbs; others are related, but less obviously; still others have no corresponding verb form. Nouns in MSI include many words that would be considered adjectives in other languages, though other adjectival concepts are expressed using stative verbs. A brief overview of the noun and some operations it undergoes follows; the uses and meanings of these operations will be explained in more detail under 'Nominal Morphosyntax' below. =====Number===== Number in MSI is not a primary feature of nouns. Many number concepts are not marked and others are expressed only when pragmatically salient. The underlying number system is singular-dual-plural, but few nouns have separate forms for all three. Many have only one form for all numbers, while another group has two: direct and inverse. Direct refers to the expected or characteristic number for the noun in question, while inverse can be either of the other two. 'Hands', for example, are dual in their direct form, and either singular or plural in their inverse. These two forms are based on alterations of the triconsonantal roots in Archaic Imperial, but the patterns have been so distorted by sound change and semantic shift that the relation between them is nearly suppletive. Words of this type are called 'broken' plurals; they are the minority, but they are also some of the most commonly used words. Nouns with no alternation for number may take an optional plural particle. This particle also has associative meanings, especially when used with a proper noun. Some words occur only in the plural (mass nouns); special classifiers are used to express "one item of X". =====Case===== There are four cases for nouns in MSI; pronouns and agreement markers have a different system. These are the nominative, absolutive, genitive, and oblique. Nouns function in a fluid-S system, so either of the first two can occur on the subject of an intransitive clause. In transitive clauses, the nominative marks the subject and the absolutive, the direct object. The genitive is used to mark the possessor, and also for the recipient of a trivalent verb. The oblique is used for several other roles: locative, benefactive, instrumental, etc. Case is marked by enclitic particles, but is not always explicit. =====Class/Gender===== Nouns distinguish two genders: animate and inanimate. All nouns have an inherent gender, often discernible by their form. Adjectives and verbs agree with nouns by gender. A separate system of noun class by shape/texture/consistency also occurs, and is related to verb agreement and the classifiers used with numerals and mass nouns. ====Verbs==== ===NP Morphosyntax=== ====Predicate Constructions==== ===VP Morphosyntax=== [[Category: Empire-in-the-West]] User:Avaja 4355 24959 2007-09-03T13:46:29Z Avaja 750 New page: '''Avaja''' at the [[Zompist Bulletin Board|ZBB]] and irc.sorcery.net; conlangs of mine include [[Kazujisha]].

An optional letter is a phoneme or archiphoneme that technically forms part of the morpheme in question, but which may or may not be realised depending on its environment in the whole word. There are two kinds of optional letter, those that appear unless suppressed, and those that disappear unless invoked. Within dictionaries and grammars, both kinds are written with superscript letters; the first kind appear unadorned, while the second kind are parenthesized. In other (i.e. normal) circumstances, isolated morphs do not naturally appear in their underlying forms. If forced to produce the isolated form of a given morph, most native speakers fully pronounce all optional letters. =Ablaut= {|border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center" |align = "right"|Base vowel |align = "center"|''η'' |align = "center"|a |align = "center"|á |align = "center"|e |align = "center"|é |align = "center"|ę |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|í |align = "center"|o |align = "center"|ó |align = "center"|ǫ |align = "center"|ø |align = "center"|ǿ |- |align = "right"|i-mutation |align = "center"|''υ'' |align = "center"|e |align = "center"|é |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|í |align = "center"|e |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|í |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|í |align = "center"|e |align = "center"|e |align = "center"|é |- |align = "right"|u-mutation |align = "center"|''ω'' |align = "center"|ø |align = "center"|ǿ |align = "center"|eu |align = "center"|éu |align = "center"|ęu |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|í |align = "center"|o |align = "center"|ó |align = "center"|ǫ |align = "center"|o |align = "center"|ó |- |align = "right"|breaking |align = "center"|''ю'' |align = "center"|ǫ |align = "center"|ǫj |align = "center"|ui |align = "center"|oui |align = "center"|ǫui |- |align = "right"|weak |align = "center"|''ы'' |align = "center"|a |align = "center"|a |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|ø |align = "center"|i |align = "center"|í |align = "center"|ø |align = "center"|ø |align = "center"|a |align = "center"|ø |align = "center"|ø |}<br clear="all"> =Sandhi= CCC sequences are phonotactically disallowed, though note that this means ''phonemic'' sequences (things like '''tj''' /tʃ/ are considered single consonants under these rules).

'''Description''' The name VIRGORANTA means "virginal Esperanto". That means that Esperanto's grammar is reduced to its core and the vocabulary is modernized by reducing Latin terms and bringing in more Germanic words from [[Modern English|English]] and [[High German|German]]. '''Uniqueness''' VIRGORANTO is a modern germano-centric hybrid and simplified form of several reform movements of Esperanto. '''Design principles''' To combine reform efforts to reform the grammar of Esperanto with a modern vocabulary. VIRGORANTO has no accusative ending, no article and the plural adjective ending is omitted. Virgoranto is of course not discriminative against women as Esperanto. '''Language sources''' VIRGORANTO vocabulary is based mainly English and German, but also some words from Scandinavian languages. The vocabulary is quickly expanding. '''PHONETICS''' Virgoranto uses 5 consonants A like in German "Alphabet" E like in energy O like in often I like in intention U like in good B, D, F, L, M, M, P. T are pronounced like in German or English C is “ts” like German “Zucker” G like in good H like in have J like in "yes" K like in cat KV like Q in question S like in sound SH like she V like in vacuum X like ch in German “ich” Z like s in rose There are no diphtongs, where two vocals meet, they are pronounced seperately “E-u-ro-po ''ACCENT'' The first syllable carries always the accent. '''MORPHOLOGY''' ''ARTICLES'' No defined or undefined article, so „fato“ can mean a father or the father depending on context. ''NOUNS'' 1. No gramnatic gender, Words for professions are gender neutral. If a gender should be expressed then –ma for male and –fe for female are put before the ending Gender neutral sekretaro (secretary) sekratamaro male secretary sekretafero female secretary) 2. Nouns are ending in -o like girlo (girl) and bojo (boy) 3. The Plural is formed by adding–s girlos (the girls) ''CAUSES'' Acussative is identical to the nominative. So it is necessary to have a strict word order (S-V-O). Me vidir Claudia (I saw Claudia.) un Claudia vidir me. (and Claudia saw me.) The genitive is formed with the help of the preposition „of”. Example: Buko of Claudia (Claudia’s book) The dative is formed with help of the prepposition „an“. Example: Me givar an Claudia buko (I give Claudia the book.) ''ADJECTIVE'' Ends in an –a, there is no plural ending for the adjective Juna girlo (a young girl) Juna girlos (young girls) The Comperative is formed by “mer” and Superlative by “mest” Anne esar mer bela kvi Claudia (Anne is more beautiful than Claudia). Men Doro esar mest bela girlo. (But Doro is the most beautiful girl.) ''ADVERBS'' Adverbs are ending in –e :Girlo singar bele. (The girl sings beautifully.) ''VERB'' Ends in the infinitive in -i (singi = to sing) Present Tense ends in –ar (Girlo singar – The girl sings.) Past Tense ends in.-ir (Girlo singir – The girl sang.) Future Tense –or (Girlo singor - The girl will sing.) Conditional –ur (Girlo singur - The girl would sing.) ''Imperative'' The verb stem without its infinitive ending Singi (to sing) - Sing! (Sing!) ''Active Participle'' -anta singanta (singing) Singanta girlo (The singing girl) ''Passive Participle'' -ata singata Songo, kvile esir singata. (The song which was sang) There is no progressive tense in Virgoranto. ''NEGATION'' Verbs are negated with „ne” Me ne esar stora. (I am not big.)

So: ente (first), dute (second), hond treten trete (the 103rd). ''QUESTIONS'' :Who = Kvis :Where = Kvo :When = Kvam :How = Kvi :How much = Kvand :Why = For kvod :What= Kvod ''PERSONAL PRONOUNS'' :Me (I) Mes (we) :Ju (you) Jus (you pl.) :Hi (he) His (they m.) :Shi (she) Shis (they f.) :Gi (it) Gis (they n.)

The subject of the active sentence is expressed by the preposition "per" (of). :Prezidento esir electata per folko. (The president is elected by the people) '''SYNTAX''' ''WORD ORDER'' The word order is Subject-Verb-Object in statements. :Example: Me spelar futbol. (We play football) In questions the word order is Verb-Subject-Object :Kvo esar balo? Where is the ball? :Lesar yu buko? Are you reading the book? '''RELATIVE CLAUSES''' The relative pronoun is "kvile" (who, what). Kvile is never changed. To mark the different between subject and object relations in the relative clause, the word order is decisive. :Girlo, kvile me vidir, esir bela. (The girl, who I saw, was beautiful.) :Girlo, kvile vidir me, esir bela (The girl, who saw me, was beautiful.) ---- '''SOME IMPORTANT PHRASES''' :Guda morno! Good morning! :Guda dago!

Our world is called "The 7th World" by some inhabitants(mostly the Long-longs), who know the existence of our world, of The 8th World. ==Geography of the "Earth" of The 8th World== Just like our Earth, there are 365.2422 days per year, and 24 hours per day, the Size of their "Earth" is very close to our earth, but the shape of the continents and islands are different to our world. ==Biology on the "Earth" of The 8th World== ===Long-longs=== :Main page:[[Long-longs]] A long-long is a kind of intelligence animal of the 8th world, the long-longs are as smart as human-being at last, and when they meet proverty in their early life, they can become much smarter than usual. The whole body of every long-long is covered with white hair(s), every long-long has a black, small, and square "horn" on their head, and most of matured long-longs are 140cm~150cm in height. Long-longs eat the almost same food just as humans, but compared with human, they are prefer to eat vegetables and foods with starches. The feces and urines of long-longs are completely covered by a flexible skins when they(feces and urines) are dumped. ====Sort==== Although long-longs are similar to Reptiles, but in fact they are not Reptiles, their class is "Lonlons", The animals of the class "Lonlons" evolved from the Amphibias, and many animals of the class "lonlons", including the so-called long-longs, has absolutly got used to the enviorment of the land, just like the Reptiles, so the long-longs have no many blood relations with Reptiles. ====Life of long-longs==== [[Image:The_growing_of_Long-longs.jpg|thumb|The growing of Long-longs, The first step(Tzaka) of Long-longs love to gather into a group of 8 Tzaka-step long-longs, It is shown in the Picture.]] A typical long-long can live up to 400 to 500 year old, if no accident, they grows into the next step every four years until they becomes a Zam'keye. ====Language and Culture==== Most long-longs speak [[Liunan]] as their native tongue, but they can still learn other languages. ===Humans=== Humans are just as same as what we see in our world, Ancestors of some of the humans there came from our world, others came from other worlds, just like our world, Humans living in different regions speak different language, and thus they have different cultures. ====Nation(Group of people) of the 8th World==== *[[Ganvana people]] *[[Sitr People]] *[[Tsaras People]] *[[Sudi People]] *[[Ethinish People]] *[[Kamarham People]] *[[Gur People]] *[[Sgen People]] *[[Vämbai People]](also named [[Dabai People]]) *[[Akastan People]] *[[Hotti Peoples]](divided into 3 groups:Azade, Kinlo and Alokin) *[[Natar People]] *[[Zleka people]] *[[Ghinsun People]] *[[Hoks People]] *[[Yenchi-Hai People]](In fact the Ancient and Middle Chinese people came from our world.) *Whites(In fact the European Peoples people came from our world.) ==="Moe Girls"=== [[Image:Die_Bildung_der__Meimei.jpg|thumb|Her name is Meimei, she is one of the "Moe Girls", bue she has been transformed into machine except her head and her neck(her head and her neck are untransformed), thus she has become a cyborg for fighting purpose.]] The so-called "Moe Girls" are human-like being, but all of them are all female, they are usually short, and their face are similar to the large-eyed and children-like "Moe" girls appearing in Japanese Anime and Manga, but are "3D-ized", that's why they are called "Moe Girls" here. The "Moe Girls" are very naive, very kind-hearted and carefree, mostly they are seemed to be happy, some of them are seemed to be dull in doing something, but they are in fact very smart, their IQ are usually higher than 150, and therefore, more than half of them are tenured profferser of Mathematics, Physica and Computer Science, others of them, although not as dull as they may look like, are proficient in other major, espacially cooking and home-business. The "Moe Girls" are nearly immortal and always young everytime, some of them are over 10000 years old but still very young and naive, although they might be very "old" in age in fact, they still call "Big brother" or "Big sister" to others, who are looked to be elder to them.

[[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] '''Tae'dugraumich in Zagraphantic' lintuantephgain du tae'Ponande''' ''(Eng: The different and frightening language of the north)'' Is a Duaeintic (''dwaintic'') language. Spoken by the Sepraccion ''(seprakshan)'' on the moon of Tular, BB445. These people fought a loosing battle against the Samakgliain ''(Sa-mag-li-aan)'', a religious sect, that had been well established for well over 10,000 years, then, a movement speparated the continent, The Faglghga, to show their disgust with the way the Samakgliain was run, by the Daea, they created a new language, and lived up in the North. The language of the Samakgliain, Aa, was a romantic language, therefore, the Faglghga ''(Fa-gul Guk-aar)'' created a sharp language, Where Aa sh fricatives, sh, ch, s, ts, f, phy and sts. TDiZLdTP had sharp plosives, P D T G Gk K Q and J The Samagkliain, understandably hear threats in this language, with the forcing of air in their direction, and the spit. eg. I love you in Aa is ''Shasam Yo Ia'' (Love you, I) I love you in TDiZLdTP is ''Kak Lutadad'ap Q'a'q' '' (You loved by me) The worst insult in TDiZLdTP is: ; May you house burn down with you're children in it. : ''Kakam Chyokadmam egg Kakam kabudak, mank dai fagbakbagdo gkaip'' Your children in your house, may it burn down' == Greetings == ; Hello : Gakder sci!

I have currently created a Germanic section and Tauro-Piscean (my mainly Germanic conlang) sits on its own. Would you consider visiting the page and adding translations one or more of your conlangs? If not, you could translate the words in the list and I could do the dirty table work for you. ==About the page "[[Our Father]]" you created== I've heard someone suggested that the title "Our Father" should be used as a page for displaying multilingual translation(espacially Conlangs) of the "Lord's Prayer"(more imformations, please go to [[Talk:Our Father|the talk page of "Our Father" page you created]]), thus, not only for the conlang you created, and I think it's better to make another page, named "Our father(Vityng)", or others for your own conlangs. You can still display the Vityng translation of "Our Father" in the page "[[Our Father]]", but since it's better to be a page for multilingual translation(espacially Conlangs) of the "Lord's Prayer"(also named "Our Father"), you may add a title said it's a Vityng version of "Our Father".--[[User:K1234567890y|KOS-MOS]] 21:27, 12 September 2007 (PDT) Proto-Altaic' 4386 57258 2010-10-27T17:22:44Z Tropylium 756 disclaimer <blockquote>''This is a protoconlang, not to be confused with the hypothetical, '''re'''constructed [[Proto-Altaic]].

This one originated from the observation that [[Labialization|labialized]] [[velar consonant|velars]] are common; [[labial-velar]]s and labialized [[uvular consonant|uvulars]] are restricted to certain areas, but still common within them. These areas (chiefly: west Africa on one hand, Ethiopia and northwest America on the other) however do not overlap [http://wals.info/feature/combined?id1=6&id2=6&text=Presence+of+Uncommon+Consonants&hidden=Presence+of+Uncommon+Consonants], and thus labial-uvular consonants do not exist in any [[natlang]]. Clearly this a basically random gap that needs to be filled! The overall sound here seems so far quite unique to me, which is good. This will probably eventually be forked to a separate daughterlang page. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== {| | ! Labial !! Alveolar !! Retroflex !! Postalveolar !! Velar !! Labial-velar !! Uvular !!

A final lo short vowel is reduced to shwa or elided wholesale before a word beginning with a sonorant. ===Stress=== Final if it's a long vowel, on the penult if that has a long vowel but the final doesn't, initial otherwise.

On forums, wikis, etc. I use this nick - pretty sure I'm the only one on the 'net using this, too. Most of the stuff I've put here are (and will be) languages of my althistory [[Earth']] (Earth-prime). You can recognize them from working titles that are either prime-appended counterparts of real languages or families (eg. [[Japanese']]) or nonsense names ending in ''-ax'' (see [[indax]]). Doodles in both diachronic and synchronic phonology, basically. Only a few projects have internal names yet, most prominently [[Ouiqál]] and [[Åzuli]]. I'm also a participant of the [[Round Robin Conlang]] project. Those interested in a posteriori languages may want to check out the [[Angrex]] project, not of the Earth' series despite the similar name. Perhaps my more loglangy projects will some day be here too, but they're a bit too much in flux currently. I'm furthermore contributing various general linguistics information, mostly on phonology - articles I've written so far include [[Allophone]], [[Aspiration]], [[Spirant]] and [[Velar consonant]] — as well as some natlinguistics stuff (generally around Uralic historical phonology, see [[Proto-Uralic]], [[Finnish]]) and occasional [[FrathWiki:Maintenance|maintenance]]. ==To do== *sort the Latin block of the SCI box on a by-letter basis *upload labiodental flap icon & create {{:Template:B\}} for substituting *[[C]] [[J]] [[Q]] [[V]] in a fashion similar to [[X]] (why not eventually all the rest too) *[[Comparision of ASCII phonetic alphabets]] *Add [[linguistic universal]]s from [http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/archive/intro/index.php Universals Archive] ([[User:Tropylium/Temp]]) ** Done up to 8 ***yeah J, ain't that a feat * clean up [[Body Parts in Your Conlangs]]?

I'm trying to put together a conlang where each morpheme has several possible allomorphs, whose distributions are fairly unpredictable. First I'm creating an ancestor language. This is a pretty regular, agglutinating language, with a simple phonemic inventory. == Consonants == {| ! || Labial || Alveolar || Palatal || Velar || Glottal |- ! Stops | p | t | | k | ? |- !

Here's a list of [[Polymorphic conlang/Roots|roots]] that I've generated using this phonology. I'll be defining them a few at a time, with the assumption that the speakers are a bronze-age city state. In the meantime, I'll also be putting together the [[Polymorphic conlang/Morphology|morphology]], syntax, and corpus. While the phonemic inventory is simple, there's going to be a lot of [[Polymorphic conlang/Allophones|allophony]]. Once I've got a decent sized corpus written, I'm going to convert it into a phonetic (rather than phonemic) transcription. The next step is ''Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of sound change''. I'm going to apply sound changes that break the allophony, turning different allophones into independent phonemes, or merging realisations of different phonemes. At this point the morphology should become a lot more fusional and unpredictable. --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 08:09, 14 September 2007 (PDT) [[Category:Conlangs]] Polymorphic conlang/Roots 4395 26289 2007-10-19T11:24:46Z PeteBleackley 179 Added a few definitions These are given in CXS notation.

It was mostly spoken in the period before the Battle of Tor Min... Atlantaic was a language spoken by three human tribes of the east Kastuvoita plains - Sakermidë, Daronidë, and Kadimidë. It was mostly spoken in the period before the Battle of Tor Minnen. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Dernedd (the main human kingdom in that area) started publishing decrees in 'Classical Daronidic' a descendent of Atlantaic. Besides being the name of the language, Atlantaic can be used to describe the entire culture of these three tribes. For this usage, see [[Atlantaic Culture]]. Atlantaic Culture 4401 25465 2007-09-18T04:16:29Z Erelion12 120 /* Settlement Patterns */ Atlantaic Culture was a major human culture of Oreni which flourished in southern Andolien and eastern Salkanien from around SA 1000 to SA 3000. It was the second of two human cultures to come into contact with the Nestë in the second millenium of the second age (the other being the Lepontids). The Atlantaic culture was early divided into three main groups or tribes: Daronidë, Kadimidë and Sakermidë, eached named after their chieftains. These chieftains were the sons of Atalantos, the first chief of the Atlantaic people. What follows is a general overview of the main aspects of this culture. ==Religion== The religion of the human kingdoms of Dernedd, Ceddi and Carnol was originally a form of animism and ancestor worship. There are some reports of veneration of the Wolf amongst the ancient Sakermidë who entered the Yunirien Basin in SA 1490. This is most evident in the name of the tribe itself - ''saker'' being the ancient Daronidic term for 'wolf'. It is apparent that the Wolf was a totemic figure amongst the Sakermidë and perhaps held to be the mythic ancestor of the tribe. This figure is prominent in the naming practices of this tribe: the goddess ''Sakentis'' was frequently invoked in times of need; ''Sakermenos'', ''Sakros'', and ''Sakermos'' were common names, at least amongst the nobility. Other gods of the Sakermidë were Akrantis and Brigantos, the war-deities. Another widespread belief, in Dernedd at least, was the worship of the moon. However, Daronidic worship of the moon must be sharply contrasted with Nestean Alarie-worship, for in Daronidic practice the moon was always seen as a entity which moved of its own accord, having it's own will - there was no one GOD in Atlantaic thought. Beyond anecdotal and written evidence of the ancient religion, there is some material evidence as well. In Dun Naron three temples were erected to unknown pagan deities - their entire contents and inscriptional remains were destroyed during the reign of Marikantos. Afterwards, they were used as Orenyaic temples, before being burned during the purges in the 3rd millennium. Elsewhere, architectural evidence is rather slim, we have uncertain examples in the East March of Ceddi. These consist of altar stones set up on hill tops with un-deciphered inscriptions. Sometimes, they are accompanied at lower elevation by boulders arranged in a circular pattern. Beside the architectural evidence, animal figurines were once common throughout the Atlantaic world, usually stone but sometimes carved from wood. Finally, Atalantos himself was usually revered in one form or another. The most common was as a spirit-guardian to young men about to undergo the rituals of betrothal. The young man's spirit was thought to interact with that of first chief to become both an able father and a wise and noble husband. Frequently, young men had to endure a week in the wilderness before being admitted into his bride's family for the wedding. This practice was gradually replaced, as the human tribes became more urbanized. Eventually, the practice was altered such that, in place of a wilderness trek, a man entered a special location called the ''kastikos'', where he would lie in solitude for at least a day. During this period, no light nor food or water was admitted to the young man. ''Kastikos'' was a term meaning 'place of the ancestor' (''kastis'' 'ancestor'), however, it is unclear if each family had its own ''kastikos'' or if each community had a special shrine for the purpose. ===Religious History (~ SA 1400 - 1600)=== After the royal family of Dernedd started to educate themselves in Orenyaic philosophy, they began to oppose many of the ancient pagan practices. In Dernedd, the kings Marikantos and Koron were instrumental in the dismantling of the old religion, which, however, surived another 300 years in some places. Polufast, the son of Koron went to study at Caer Aldun and returned determined to spread the philosophies of Nossanë, Eril, Rankalos and others. In SA 1560, he obtained a royal charter to found a Orenyaic school in Dun Naron - in a former temple. This had sat for almost a hundred years as an unoccupied building, after its confiscation by the kingdom under Marikantos. There, Polufast taught the concepts of free-will, emanation of beauty, Ildiva and Ilieina to anyone interested. While only those with the blood of both human and Nestë could hope to achieve the status of Orenya, these concepts proved to be important in the religious life of the kingdoms as time went by. Sikonos, the Lord of Carnol, allowed the practice of the ''kastikos'' ritual to continue amongst his people. This was due to the fact that most of Carnol was inhabited by Sakermidë who adhered rigidly to their totemic ways. The land was split into clan-lands by the various chieftains of the Sakermidë. Each clan had a specific totemic animal who was housed in a large ''kastikos'' in the center of the village. In this case, the Carnolide ''kastikos'' was a pillar made of carved stone with a wide base, where offerings could be made. This was different from the ''kastikos'' of the betrothal rites as it could clearly not be sealed for fasting and confinement purposes. Since Sakermidë families were roughly matrilineal (in that a man married into his wife's clan), Sikonos had a personal interest in permitting paganism in his lands: his wife was of the powerful Karolidë clan. Carnol had two temples, one to Sakentis and another to a god named Zexên who had some connection to water or rain. The pagan underpinning of Carnolide religion, may have been a large factor in that land's subjugation of Radnor under Sikonos and his sons. Because Radnorians were Nestëan monotheists (albeit of human descent), they were the subject of ridicule in the heavily Sakermidë village lands of the western part of the country. In the city of Carnol itself, the urban population was associated to a large extent with Dun Naron and tended to harbor pro-Orenyaic (and hence monotheistic) ideas. However, this population was outnumbered by the rural Sakermidë and had less power in a monarchy dependent on support from clan-chieftains who were all pagan. Thus, when the chieftain of the Karolidë clan sited his royal charter granted by the King Koron of Dernedd as evidence that the Radnorians were inhabiting his lands, Sikonos had almost no choice but to agree to action. Propagandists at that time made much of the backwardness of Radnor, including its monotheistic tendencies. That the capital of the kingdom, Dun Naron was itself a bastion of Orenyaic practice, was hardly thought worth mentioning. ==Settlement and Architecture== ===Settlement Patterns=== Originally, Atlantaic people were nomadic, hence subsisting by hunting and gathering and having no established villages. Stories from the Sakerimide allow one to reconstruct a bit of nomadic life. ==Government== Polymorphic conlang/Allophones 4402 25502 2007-09-19T14:05:48Z PeteBleackley 179 == Stops == /p t k/ are realised as * [p_h t_h k_h] word initially * [b d g] after a nasal or approximant * [p t k] elsewhere /?/ is realised as [?_h] initially, [?] elsewhere. == h == /h/ is realised as * [C] before /i/ * [h] before /a/ * [W] before /u/ == n == /n/ is realised as * [n] before alveolars, vowels and [?] * [m] before labials, including [W] * [N] before velars * [J] before /j/ or [C] == Fricatives == /f s x/ are realised as * [v z G] after an approximant or nasal * [f s x] elsewhere == r == /r/ is realised as * [4] word initially * [l] before /j/ * [r\] before other consonants * [r] elsewhere ==Vowels== /i/ is realised as * [y] before [u] or [w] * [e] before [a] * [i] elsewhere /a/ is realised as * [e] before [i] or [j] * [o] before [u] or [w] * [a] elsewhere /u/ is realised as * [y] before [i] or [j] * [o] before [a] * [u] elsewhere Category:World of Light 4403 55270 2010-07-24T00:38:24Z In Lae Na Aen 720 Blanked the page File:Die Bildung der Meimei.jpg 4404 29401 2008-02-28T05:46:57Z K1234567890y 753 uploaded a new version of "[[Image:Die Bildung der Meimei.jpg]]": Newer version A picture of the so-called "Moe girl" drawn by me, but I don't think I made it well, the picture is not good at all, thus is not "Moe" at all, sorry. --[[User:K1234567890y|KOS-MOS]] 13:13, 18 September 2007 (PDT) States of Europe (Nytal) 4405 46183 2009-06-20T13:34:01Z Bukkia 117 /* Some other non-European names */ [[Image:Europe countries map nytal.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Map of Europe.

Gender is not marked, but does affect the noun morphology in other ways. The language is split-S, with animates being nominative-accusative, inanimates being ergative-absolute. The basic form is {Deixis}+{Case1}+{Number}+Root+{Case2}+{Definiteness}, where anything in braces may be a null morpheme. ===Deixis=== {| | this || |- | that || |- | yonder || |- | what || |} For the first three, the noun must also be marked definite. For the last, it must be indefinite (unmarked). ===Case=== The marking of case comes in two parts, and depends on gender. The case system can be regarded as consisting of primary and secondary, active and stative cases. ====Primary Cases==== The primary cases of a noun are gender dependent. {| ! !! Active case !! Stative Case |- ! Animate | Nominative | Accusative |- | || Root || Root+ |- ! Inanimate | Ergative | Absolute |- | || hu+Root || Root |} ====Secondary Active Cases==== Secondary active cases are formed by adding a suffix to the primary active case. {| ! Genitive | -ti |- ! Dative | -un |- ! Causative | -ka |- ! Locative | -ir |} ====Secondary Stative Cases==== Secondary stative cases are formed by adding a prefix to the primary stative case. {| ! Instrumental | aw- |- ! Allative | pin- |- ! | xu- |- ! | ur- |- |} ===Number=== There are three numbers, {| ! Singular | |- ! Dual/paucal | huj- |- ! Plural | si- |} The middle number indicates dual for animates or paucal for inanimates. ===Definiteness=== Indefinite nouns are unmarked. Definite nouns are marked with the suffix -arja ==Verbs== The verb follows the following paradigm {subject animacy}+{tense/aspect}+root+{mood}+{voice}+{object animacy} ===Subject animacy=== Unmarked for animate subjects, ''ta-'' for inanimate subjects ===Tense and aspect=== These are not orthogonal, so a single marker covers both. ===Mood=== ===Voice=== {| ! Voice || Marker || Use |- ! Active | | Subject and object have their usual roles. |- ! Passive | | Animate subject is treated as object |- ! Antipassive | | Inanimate object is treated as subject |- ! Reflexive | | Subject acts upon itself |} ===Object animacy=== Unmarked for inanimate objects, ''-ajn'' for animate objects Specific Nytal lexycon 4409 29355 2008-02-22T21:24:08Z Bukkia 117 ==Everyday lexycon & phraseology== These are some examples of everyday sentences and question in Nytal: * '''Kredi fols''': ''Good morning'' * '''Ahriyd fols''': ''Good afternoon'' * '''Njosi fols''': ''Good evening'' * '''Klidir fols''': ''Good night'' * '''Na'saj''': ''Hello, Hi'' (from ''Ni a'saj'': I greet) * '''Puhlen''': ''Thank you'' * '''Norjein''': ''You're welcome, Please'' (from ''Ni a'orjein'': I pray) * '''Gek ok a'noym?''': What's your name? * '''Ni a'noym...''': My name is... * '''Gek šak ad'jo?''': How are you (lit.

The borders certainly need to be adjusted to correspond to natural boundaries.]] I'm not sure how big the Borgonze where [[User:Melroch/Rhodrese|Rhodrese]]/[[User:Melroch/Rhodrese/Borgonzay|Borgonzay]] is spoken is. It does extend further south than the French region called Bourgogne in OTL, including Lojú/Lyon and further south along the Rhuodre/Rhône, but not including Provença/Provence nor extending east into OTL Switzerland. I don't know how far west or north it extends, although it does ''not'' include Paris. It includes the full course of Saugone/Saône, and is probably not landlocked but includes Picardie and Cales/Calais. This means it does not directly correspond to the Burgundia of the Dark Ages, having lost Provence but expanded northward. Due to the existence of Borgonze France and Germany have no common border, and Alsace and Lorraine are German. Still Borgonze was probably part of the realm of Charlemagne and its reemergence is later, similar to what happened in OTL. It may even be part of an in that case less centralist France. Walloon would BTW be a separate language or a dialect of R/B too, or perhaps more likely all of Belgium would be Germanic-speaking — not necessarily Dutch-speaking of course! The OTL where Borgonze exists may be [[Lucus]]. {{R3 pages}} User:Melroch/Rhodrese/Borgonzay 4413 25599 2007-09-21T14:26:41Z Melroch 31 The name of the language == The name of the language == The modern name of the language as a whole should be something like '''''Borgonzay''''' < {{SC|*Burgundiense}} (i.e. the Romance language of ''Burgundia'', parallel to ''Français'' for the Romance language of ''Francia'') with two main dialect groups ''Rhodray'' along the Rhodre (Rhône) and ''Saugonay'' along the Saugone (Saône). The problem is that in the ATL there was also a Germanic language ''Borgonzc < *burgundiska'' which survived long enough to become a written language in books with Latin letters. In contradistinction to this language the Romance language of [[User:Melroch/Borgonze|Borgonze]] was of course called ''Romanz'' or some variation thereof and any derivative of ''*Burgund'' would be inappropriate, but ''Romanz'' would be equally inappropriate in contradistinction to ''Français/Frantxay'' (or perhaps ''Francien/Frantxiá''), not to speak of the Rumantsch and Romand{{ref|Romand}} of Switzerland. The likely situation is that they all be ''Romant/Romanz/Romand/Romantx'' as a group compared to ''*Franconais/Borgonzc{{ref|Borgonzc}}/Allemand'', but by other, geographical names, and so ''Rhodray'' is still a plausible name, based on the fact that it is spoken along the Rhuodre-Saugone (Rhône-Saône) valley. Nothing like ''Borgonzay, Borgonzá'' < {{SC|*Burgundianum}} or ''Borgongá'' < {{SC|*Burgundicanum}} seems me enough differendiated from ''Borgonzc/Borgondesc'' < {{SC|*Burgundiska}} or ''Borgonzong'' < {{SC|*Burgundionicum}}, nor as appealing. ''Saugonay'' for the language as a whole isn't appealing to me either; perhaps the Rhuodre part of the valley has always been dominant? To the extent that I've worked out the differences between the northern and southern dialects the standard language slants towards the southern dialects, similar to Italian and Provençal rather than towards the Northern, more French-like dialects. The one feature where the standard goes with the north is the outcome of labial + {{SC|j}} and labial + liquid which are ''u(n)dg/un(j), ul, ur'' {{IPA|/udʒ/, /ul/, /ur/}} in the north but labial + ''-e, -o, -re'' {{IPA|/ɪ, ʊ, ɾɪ/}} in the south{{ref|labial-sonorant}}. rather than being consciously cross-dialectal the standard builds on the actual situation in central dialects around Lojú (Lyon). === Notes === ==== {{note|Romand}} Romand and Rumantsch ==== I wonder what Rumantsch and Romand would be called in the ATL. Romand would most probably be something like ''Helvetxan < *{{SC|Helveticanum}}'', notwithstanding its spread over a larger area than Roman Helvetia. Compared to [[Wikipedia:Franco-Provençal language#toc|the map here]] it would in any case extend further east but not as far west as Franco-Provençal does in OTL, since the western part of the Franco-Provençal area will be R/B in the ATL, and so F-P/Romand will in the ATL more specifically be ''the'' language of western Switzerland, which may well comprise Savoy and Val d'Aosta in the ATL, so ''Helvetxan'' will be a more appropriate name in the ATL than it may be in OTL. Rumantsch would possibly be ''Rumantsch'' in the ATL too ''if'' it need define itself primarily in contradistinction to Allemannic German there too, although its status and spread would probably be stronger in the ATL. If so it might well be {{SC|*Raeticanum}}. It would be spelled ''Retxan'' since in that case I'd also expect its orthography to be Italian and R/B-influenced rather than German-influenced and use ''tx'' instead of ''tsch'' and ''x'' for {{IPA|/ʃ/}} and perhaps ''sg(i)'' for {{IPA|/ʒ/}} instead of ''sch'' for both. I imagine international words with ''x'' would have got pronounced with {{IPA|/ʃ/}} or written with ''xh'' {{IPA|/ks/}} analogous with ''ch'' and ''gh'' for unpalatalized {{IPA|/k/}} and {{IPA|/g/}} before ''e'' or ''i''. Some orthographic difference from R/B would be likely and healthy given the four-way differentiation {{IPA|/ts—tɕ—tʃ—k/}} where R/B only has three-way {{IPA|/ts—tʃ—k/}}, and the intervening Romand/Helvetxan. I'd expect the same confusion over the spelling of {{IPA|/ʒ/}} arise as in R/B. If [[User:Melroch|I]] had designed ''[[Wikipedia:Romansh#Standardisation|Rumantx Grixun]]'' I would have used these spellings and also probably accent marks to differentiate {{IPA|/e/}} ''é'' and {{IPA|/ɛ/}} ''è'' from {{IPA|/ə/}} ''e'' and {{IPA|/o/}} ''ù'' from {{IPA|/ɔ/}} ''o''. I would definitely have used ''ç'' for {{IPA|/tɕ/}} rather than ''tg'', which looks daft word initially — compare ''tgirar'' and ''çirar''! — but ''çh'' in those words where {{IPA|/tɕ/}} is in dialectal variation with {{IPA|/k/}}, which would leave ''ch'' unambiguous for {{IPA|/χ/}} in those cases where all dialects have that sound. In the ATL this latter would then be a late differentiation from an earlier situation with variation between ''c'' and ''ç/cz''. See the pronunciation guide in [http://www.unifr.ch/rheto/documents/Gramminstr.pdf this grammar (PDF)] and the [http://rm.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumantsch#Cumparanza_da_la_variaziun_rumantscha comparative table of dialect forms in the Rumantsch Wikipedia]. ==== {{note|Borgonzc}} Borgonzc ==== ''Borgonzc'' as a Romance form may be a haplology of {{SC|*Burgundioniscum}} — perhaps ''Borgondesc'' or ''Borgonzonesc'' are more likely. ==== {{note|labial-sonorant}} Labial + sonorant ==== Examples: * {{SC|capio}} *:> northern ''txautx'' *:> southern ''cope/cobe'' *:> standard ''cautx'' * {{sc|stabulum}} *:> northern ''etau'' *:> central ''esta(v)o'' *:> southern ''estable'' *:> standard ''estaul'' :Standard orthography normally doesn't reflect l-vocalization, which is lacking in the southern dialects, but is reflected in medieval manuscripts from the central area, where postvocalic ''l'' was reintroduced as a prestige social variant under southern influence, and as a conscious distancing from ''Frantxay''. * {{sc|caprum}} *:> northern ''txaur'' *:> southern ''cabre'' *:> standard ''caur'' * N.B. {{sc|eximius}} *:> northern ''sceundg'' *:> southern ''esceme'' (plural ''escime'') *:> standard ''esceundg''. {{R3 pages}} Template:R3 pages 4414 42394 2009-01-29T17:00:06Z Melroch 31 /* Liquid consonants */ == Pages about [[Althist:Lucus|Lucal]] languages == <DPL> category=Lucus </DPL> Lucus 4415 27091 2007-11-29T12:14:14Z Melroch 31 {{Lucus}} '''Lucus''' is [[User:Melroch|BPJ]]'s alternate timeline.

These criteria are of course related, in that the i-affected form of original {{SC|al}} or {{SC|ol}} was originally {{SC|el}}, which became '''eo''', while the i-affected form of original {{SC|au}} or {{SC|a}}β' was '''eu'''. |- !

The above remarks about the 'soft' pronunciation of '''c''' apply equally to '''ç'''.

The spelling of these phonemes is consistent: * {{IPA|/ɾ/}} is written ''r''. * {{IPA|/l/}} is written ''l''. * {{IPA|/ʎ/}} is written ''gl'' (and {{IPA|/gl/}} is written ''ghl''). * {{IPA|/ʁ/}} is written ''rr'' except after a consonant or at the beginning of a word, where it is written ''r''. * {{IPA|[ɹ]}} is an allophone of {{IPA|/ɾ/}} which occurs before a consonant and before a pause. However some speakers have {{IPA|[ʁ]}} or {{IPA|[χ]}} which are allophones of {{IPA|/ʁ/}} in this position, so in fact the distinction between {{IPA|/ɾ/}} and {{IPA|/ʁ/}} is neutralized there. * {{IPA|/ɽˡ/}} is written ''ll''. The distinction between between {{IPA|/ɽˡ/}} and {{IPA|/l/}} is only maintained between vowels. {{IPA|[ɽˡ]}} occurs instead of {{IPA|[l]}} word-initially if the preceding word ends in a vowel and word finally if the next word begins in a vowel. In modern Rhodrese this is shown in spelling only with the masculine singular definite article before a word beginning in a vowel (and in the contractions ''della, alla, delli, alli'' etc.). The following table Illustrates the origins of these sounds in Vulgar Latin. <table class="gridtable IPA"> <tr> <th style="width: 12%;">Position<hr>Latin</th> <th style="width: 12%;">#__</th> <th style="width: 12%;">V__V</th> <th style="width: 12%;">__C</th> <th style="width: 12%;">__’C</th> <th style="width: 12%;">__#</th> <th style="width: 11%;">__’#</th> </tr><tr> <th class="smallcaps">r</th> <td>ʁ</td> <td>ɾ</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">d</th> <td>d</td> <td>ɾ</td> <td>{{ref|dC}}</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>Ø/t</td> <td>ɹ</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">rr</th> <td>—</td> <td>ʁ</td> <td>—</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">dr, d’r</th> <td>dʁ</td> <td>ʁ</td> <td>—</td> <td>—</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">tr, t’r</th> <td>tʁ</td> <td>ʁ</td> <td>—</td> <td>—</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">n’r</th> <td>ʁ</td> <td>ʁ</td> <td>—</td> <td>—</td> <td>ɹ</td> <td>ɹ</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">l</th> <td>l/ɽˡ</td> <td>l/w</td> <td>w</td> <td>w</td> <td>w</td> <td>w</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">ll, l’n</th> <td>l/ɽˡ</td> <td>ɽˡ</td> <td>—</td> <td>l/w</td> <td>l</td> <td>l</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">t’l, d’l</th> <td>l/ɽˡ</td> <td>ɽˡ</td> <td>—</td> <td>—</td> <td>l</td> <td>l</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">lj, llj, gl, g’l</th> <td>ʎ</td> <td>ʎ</td> <td>—</td> <td>w</td> <td>ʎ</td> <td>ʎ</td> </tr> <tr> <th class="smallcaps">kl, k’l</th> <td>kl</td> <td>ʎ</td> <td>—</td> <td>w</td> <td>ʎ</td> <td>ʎ</td> </tr> </table> === Examples === <table> <tr> <th align="left" style="width: 15%;">Vulgar Latin</th> <th align="left" style="width: 66%;">Rhodrese</th> </tr><tr> <td align="left">{{SC|illo pede}}</td> <td align="left">''el pier'' {{IPA|/pjɛɾ/}} pl.

The main exception was {{SC|dj}} which in Old Rhodrese became either {{IPA|/dz/}} ''z'' or {{IPA|/dʒ/}} ''j, g''. {{note|pierre}} Since the plurals of {{SC|petra}} and {{SC|pede}} became homophones in Rhodrese the former is strictly an uncountable mass noun. To denote 'piece(s) of stone' ''pierghe'' pl. ''pirg'' &lt; {{SC|petrica}}, or if the stone(s) be larger ''el pierráu'' &lt; {{SC|petrone}} are used. Many of the ''sensu stricto'' Rhodrese dialects, like several Italian dialects, have forms like ''el pried, li prid'' as if from {{SC|preta, pretae}} but these are strictly banned from the written language. The personal name {{SC|Petrus}} is now used only in the semi-learned form ''Piedre'' or in the originally Provençal form ''Pair'', but the adjective ''pierraus'' (O.Rh. ''perrous'') and the surnames ''Pirrí'' and ''Pierrot'' are still current. ''Pier'' is used as an ethnic slur for a Frenchman (cf. French ''Pierre'' {{IPA|/pjɛʁ/}} &lt; {{SC|Petrus}}) {{note|aghle}} ''egl'' {{IPA|/ɛʎ/}}, the plural of ''ogl'' {{IPA|/ɔʎ/}} should not be confused with ''eghle'' {{IPA|/ˈɛglɪ/}} the plural of ''aghle'' {{IPA|/ˈaglɪ/}} &lt; {{SC|aquila}}. {{note|figlao}} The pejorization in the meaning of ''figláo'' {{SC|filiolus}} was no doubt due to confusion with a supposed or real ''**figláu'' &lt; {{SC|filione}}. {{note|figline}} ''la figline, li figlí'' is an example of how the ending {{SC|-ina}} became productively added to nouns and nominalized adjectives denoting female living beings after the plurals of paired masculine/feminine designations had become identical. This happened also with names: the lady Claudine and her maid Clauzine (&lt; {{SC|-ina}} added to the male name Clauz &lt; {{SC|Claudius}} are a staple pair of the traditional Borgonzay comedy. Sometimes the endings ''-áu'' {{SC|-one}} or ''-air'' {{SC|-ariu}} were added to the masculine designation instead of or in addition to adding {{SC|-ina}} to the feminine designation. This was however a rule only with trees and their fruits as ''perair'' 'pear-tree' and ''paire'' 'pear'. {{R3 pages}} [[Category:Conlangs by Melroch]] File:Dark ages borgonze.jpg 4423 27080 2007-11-29T11:23:51Z Melroch 31 {{Lucus|maps}} The greatest extent of [[Borgonze]], or rather Burgundia, during the Dark Ages, superimposed on modern [[althist:OTL|OTL]] France. == Who can improve this map? == <DPL> title=Image:Borgonze.jpg include=#Who can improve this map? </DPL> File:Medieval borgonze.jpg 4424 27081 2007-11-29T11:30:41Z Melroch 31 {{Lucus|maps}} The medieval Duchy of [[Borgonze]] before the Hundred Years War, superimposed on modern [[althist:OTL|OTL]] France. == Who can improve this map? == <DPL> title=Image:Borgonze.jpg include=#Who can improve this map? </DPL> File:Borghenzc.jpg 4425 25689 2007-09-25T15:14:56Z Melroch 31 Categorized The approximate area where [[Borghenzc]] was spoken in the 13th century marked in red.

It is unclear whether it was [a] or [ɑ]. Very occasionally '''a''' was used for {{IPA|[ə]}}, especially after a '''g''' to show that it was to be pronounced {{IPA|/ɡ/}} and not {{IPA|/ʤ/}}; thus {{IPA|[ˈborɣəndə]}} could be spelled ''borgande'' beside ''borgende'' and the equally occasional ''borghende''. |- ! B b |class="IPA"| [b] | A voiced bilabial stop. The sound {{IPA|[b]}} occurred only initially, in the combination {{IPA|[mb]}} and geminated as {{IPA|[bb]}}. The phoneme {{IPA|/b/}} had an allophone {{IPA|[β]}} which was usually spelled with '''v'''. |- ! C c |class="IPA"| [k], [ts] | Usually a voiceless velar stop. Very occasionally '''c''' was used for the combination {{IPA|/ts/}} before the letters '''e, i''' or '''y'''. The very unusual '''cz''' was a variant of '''tz''' or '''thz'''. |- ! Ch ch |class="IPA"| [k], [x] | Used for the voiceless velar stop before the letters '''e, i''' or '''y'''. Before consonants and word-finally it stands for {{IPA|[x]}}, which is an allophone of {{IPA|/h/}} or {{IPA|/g/}}, e.g. ''chleifs, douchter, ouchſe, dachs'' (also ''dags''), ''macht/magt, dach/dag, iach/iag < *jah''. N.B. that ''ch'' and ''g'' for word-final {{IPA|[x]}} were in free variation, regardless of whether the underlying/etymological final was {{IPA|/h/}} or {{IPA|/g/}} |- ! D d |class="IPA"| [d], [ð] | The phoneme {{IPA|/d/}} had two allophones: {{IPA|[d]}} which occurred initially, in the combinations {{IPA|/nd/}} and {{IPA|/ld/}}, in gemination and perhaps in the combination {{IPA|/dz/}} written '''z'''. Since there was no contrast between {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/θ/}} after vowels '''th''' is occasionally found for {{IPA|[ð]}} in this position, and word finally '''th''' and '''d''' are practically in free variation for {{IPA|[θ]}}. |- ! E e |class="IPA"| [e] | In stressed syllables a high mid unrounded front vowel, possibly even {{IPA|[ɪ]}}, or a low or low mid unrounded front vowel {{IPA|[æ]}} or {{IPA|[ɛ]}} when it represents the i-umlaut of ''*a''. The latter was very occasionally spelled ''æ'', but the two were always kept apart in rimes. In unstressed syllables '''e''' stood for {{IPA|[ə]}}. |- ! Ea ea |class="IPA"| [ɛɐ]/[æː] | A diphthong {{IPA|[ɛɐ]}}or a long low unrounded front vowel {{IPA|[æː]}}. The breaking to a diphthong may have taken place during the 12th century — thus somewhat later than in [[Rhodrese]] —, or the occasional '''æ''' spellings in the relevant words are mere slips. |- ! Ei ei (Ey ey) |class="IPA"| [ɛɪ] | A front unrounded diphthong, e.g. in ''chleifs''. Unlike the case in [[Rhodrese]] there was no contrasting {{IPA|[eɪ]}} diphthong. |- ! F f |class="IPA"| [ɸ]/[f] | An unrounded bilabial or labiodental fricative. |- ! G g |class="IPA"| [ɡ]/[ʤ], [ɣ], [x] | The most multivalued letter in Burgendish writing. Initially it ussually stood for {{IPA|[ɡ]}}, but medial double '''gg''' before the letters '''e, i''' and '''y''' usually stood for {{IPA|[ʤ]}}, as in ''degge'', while medial single '''g''' usually stood for {{IPA|[ɣ]}} as in ''borgende'', and final '''g''' stood for {{IPA|[x]}}. While {{IPA|[ɡ], [ɣ]}} and {{IPA|[x]}} arguably were allophones of a single phoneme {{IPA|/ʤ/}} < ''*gj, *g{{sup|i,e}}'' was a distinct phoneme. |- ! Gh gh |class="IPA"| [ɡ], [ɣ] | Was very occasionally used to differentiate {{IPA|[ɡ]}} or {{IPA|[ɣ]}} from {{IPA|[ʤ]}} before the letters '''e, i''' and '''y'''. |- ! H h (hh) |class="IPA"| [h], Ø | Medial {{IPA|[h]}} was usually written '''hh''', e.g. ''thoahhe''. Perhaps it was still pronounced {{IPA|[x]}}? |- ! Hu hu uh | class="IPA" | [ʍ] | The voiced counterpart of {{IPA|/w/}} was written '''hu''' initially and medially, but '''uh''' finally: ''huaſug, ahua, sauh''. Occasional spellings like ''saf, nief'' for ''sauh, nieuh'' may indicate that a merger was under way. |- ! I i (j) Y y |class="IPA"| [i], [j] | '''I''' and '''y''' were used interchangeably for both {{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|/j/}}, and as usual in medieval writing '''j''' was merely a graphic variant of '''i'''. Unlike the case in [[Rhodrese]] initial or medial '''i''' never stood for {{IPA|/ʤ/}} in Burgendish. An '''i''' between two vowels was usually {{IPA|[jj]}} but was seldom written '''ii''' or '''ij''', e.g. usually ''leie'' and only occasionally ''leiie''. The usual spelling ''buiie'' should be interpreted as the '''ui''' digraph for {{IPA|/y/}} followed by '''i''' for {{IPA|/jj/}}. Cf. the nonce spelling ''beuie'' for the same word. |- !

N.B. the occasional occurrence of triple '''ſſſ''' for {{IPA|/ss/}} as in ''uueſſſo''. This was an elaboration on the pattern in Rhodrese orthography where the use of '''ſ''' for {{IPA|/z/}} and '''ſſ''' for {{IPA|/s/}} was due to the fact that the voicing distinction went back to a distinction between single {{IPA|/s/}} {{IPA|[z]}} and geminate {{IPA|/ss/}} in Latin. |- !

2009-11-22T11:12:43Z Christina 18 '''Euro-Japonic''' is the term given in the [[Indo-European Japan Timeline]] to what we call Indo-European in our timline. It was initially referred to as Indo-European when the relationship between Sanskrit and the European languages was noted. The connection with the [[Japonic languages (IE)|Japonic languages]] was quickly noted, however, and several new names were proposed, including Japano-Indo-European, Indo-Euro-Japonic, Eurasian, and Indo-Japonic. Euro-Japonic won out, however, although ''Japanogermanisch'' is still sometimes used in Germany.

He goes on to become a messiah figure to the Qobsuot people, leading them to sovereignty and freedom. The word <i>qɔχsɒ(ʟ)</i> has fallen out of currency in the Qobsuot language, and is now only found in two fossilized phrases: <i>qɔχsɒʟgɔgɔʀ</i>, and <i>ɬɲaqɔχsɒ</i>, a deformed whale with vestigial hind limbs. The word is believed to be cognate with Huqqoraz <i>qovsuo</i>, whence <i>qovsuoz</i>, the commonly accepted designation for the Qobsuot people. Though today most Qobsuot prefer to call themselves <i>ɛʀægæɣdɮɜ</i>, or "Brothers-in-Arms," <i>qɔχsɒɣdɮɜ</i> seems to have been an historical term, reinforced, to Huqqoraz ears, by <i>qovsuo</i>, "goblin shark." The term may be a reference to the Qobsuots' facial tattoo tradition, the black linework of which seems to separate the face into a mouth and triangle forehead, like the goblin shark. East Asian languages 4450 50685 2009-11-22T11:37:27Z Christina 18 /* Proto-East-Asian */ The '''East Asian languages''' are the easternmost branch of the [[Euro-Japonic languages|Euro-Japonic language family]] in the [[Indo-European Japan Timeline]]. Today, the [[Japonic languages (IE)|Japonic languages]] are the sole surviving representatives of the family, but in the past, there were a number of languages spoken in parts of Siberia, Manchuria and Korea. == Proto-East-Asian == The common ancestor of the East Asian languages is known as Proto-East Asian. PEA split off from PEB at an early stage, its speakers migrating eastwards into modern-day Manchuria and southeastern Siberia. === Grammar === Ablaut remained productive. Nominal inflection was slightly simplified. The dual number was lost in most cases. Six cases (Nominative, accusative, genetive, locative-ablative, dative, and a vestigial instrumental) are believed to have existed. The original Euro-Japonic genders were still in at least some use, but counters began to enter the language. All of the East Asian languages eventually replaced the inherited EJ gender with counters.

Here they are placed in the IPA chart with appropriate symbols for transcription. '''Bold''' indicates a '''voiced''' consonant. {| !Type || Labial || Labio-dental || Dental || Alveolar || Post-alveolar || Velar || Uvular || Glottal |- |stop || p '''b''' || || || t '''d''' || || k '''g''' |- |fricative || || f '''v''' || θ || s '''z''' || ʃ '''ʒ''' || || || |- |affricate || || || || ϗ || x || || || |- |tap || || || || r || || || || |- |approximant || || || || '''l''' || '''j''' || || '''ʁ''' || h |- |nasal || '''m''' || || || '''n''' || || || || || || || || || || || || |} (The affricate transcription glyphs ϗ and x are not standard [[Wikipedia:IPA|IPA]]; they are used only for the expediency of using one glyph instead of two. They were chosen for resemblance to their tones' respective Vedani glyphs.) Examples: p as in "pay," b as in "buy," t as in "take," d as in "dog," k as in "cat," g as in "grow," f as in "free," v as in "voice," θ as in "'''th'''aw," s as in "see," z as in "zoo," ʃ as in "'''sh'''ow," ʒ as in "vi'''s'''ion," ϗ as in "'''ts'''unami," x as in "'''ch'''ange," l as in "lay," j as in "'''y'''es," (ʁ is a soft guttural, similar to that in German and Hebrew), h as in "hello," m as in "man," and "n" as in "nose." ====Consonant clustering==== Strong consonants are often placed consequitively, sometimes in series of three or more. Depending on the consonants, pronunciation is either fluid across the tones or separated by a very brief catch in the pharynx, transcribed as a '. The ' also occurs between vowels in certain inflection cases. ===Stresses=== In verbs, the syllable immediately following the stem is always stressed. The 'ɛl suffix is always stressed. Typically in nouns, the penultimate syllable is stressed. ==Morphology== Vedani is an agglutinating tongue with an extensive set of prefixes and suffixes which can be used to modify various words, often regardless of their function. ===Roots=== Vedani utilizes "primitive" and "compound" roots. Primitive roots are often irreducable in simplicity and designate elemental concepts or basic-essence ideas. Compound roots are much more numerous than primitive roots and are complex and specialized. ====Primitive Roots==== The Vedani alphabet is based off of the primitive root system; there is one letter for each root, plus the vowels. *v :: light *ʃ :: sky *f :: water *ʒ :: fire/life *ʁ :: earth/ground *t :: dark/darkness *θ :: time *s :: truth/one/single *ϗ :: unknown/enigma/query *x :: false/not/no/negation *k :: death *d :: man/human *p :: object/animal *g :: plant/foliage *j :: action/movement *z :: heart/emotion *h :: spirit/breath *r :: ownership/proximity/this *b :: separation/that/other *l :: much/large/great quantity *n :: plural/multiple *m :: relation/of ====Compound Roots==== A few examples: zɛ_r :: sense, physical feeling. A primitive root can be filled in for the _ to create a root for a specific sense, such as zɛvr: sight, zɛʁr: touch, zɛhr: hearing, zɛʃr: smell, etc. jɛoʁ :: go, move. Can be modified with primitives to form "come," "return," "go elsewhere," etc. ʁɛd :: of the body _ɛʁo :: a place. Often with a primitive-root modifier to form "here," "there," "home," etc. vɛz :: knowledge or thought. ====Vocalic Roots==== Also called "half-roots" or "implied roots." Certain vowels can carry one or more implications: *"a" and "i" carry a positive connotation. *"o" and "u" carry a negative connotation. *"ɛ" carries a neutral connotation, neither positive or negative. *"i" often inflects for feminine, sometimes in combination with "a." *"u" often inflexts for masculine, sometimes in combination with "ɛ." *"o" carries strong ties to the "p" primitive root and signifies an inanimate, neutral object. *"ɪ" implies reference or an alternate naming ===Nouns=== Often (but not always), nouns will end in a, ɛ, or ɛo. Nouns ending in a are typically seen as "elemental" or "essential," and most of the primitive roots can be made nouns by adding 'a' (va, ʃa, etc.). Nouns ending in ɛ are more numerous; verb stems can be made nouns by adding the ɛ suffix (zɛvrɛ: sight, jɛoʁɛ: way or path, etc.). ====Plurals==== Nouns are made plural by adding the 'n' suffix. E.g., jɛʁɛd, "foot"; jɛʁɛdn, "feet." ====Possessives==== Possessives are formed with the appropriate suffix: *-ra :: my *-ru :: your (masculine) *-ri :: your (feminine) *-run :: your (plural, masculine) *-rin :: your (plural, feminine) *-ran :: our *-bru :: his *-bri :: her *-brun :: their (masculine) *-brin :: their (feminine) *-bron :: their (indefinite) *-o :: its *-on :: their (inanimate) Possessive suffixes are preceded by a pharynx catch '. Example: dɛʁo, "home," dɛʁo'ra, "my home" ====Genitive Case==== Nouns in the genitive case (and the dedative case, for you Quenyan folk) are indicated with the "ma'-" prefix. E.g., ma'da, "of me," ma'tɛθ, "of the night." While in other languages the genitive carries a connotation of possession, that is not typically the case here; rather, the prefix indicates relation or ties to something. Usually, the most direct English translation is the "of" preposition, but in some instances, "about," "related to," "regarding," etc. might be more appropriate. ====Dative Case==== Nouns receiving action (but not usually being acted upon) are indicated with the "j'-" prefix. The most typical English translation is the "to" or "for" prepositions. E.g., O'parja j'di, "I give it to you." However, the "v'-" prefix is also used at times to mean "for the purpose of." Compared to English, the difference between "j'-" and "v'-" is subtle, but "v'-" implies a more profound motive, whereas "j'-" would often be more casual. ʁ'ja v'di, "I did it for you!" ====Other Modifiers==== Nouns can be modified with a number of prefixes, which are always followed by a pharynx catch '. *Ra'- :: this ::: Ra'jɛoʁɛ, "this path" *Ba'- :: that ::: Ba'θala, "that year" *Lo'- :: great/large ::: Ra'lo'ʁolo, "this large mountain" *Xlo'- :: lesser/small/diminutive ::: Xlo'dɛʁo'ra, "my small home" *La'- :: greatest/largest ::: Ra'la'jɛoʁɛ, "this greatest of paths" *Xla'- :: least/smallest ::: Xla'apajɛ'ra, "my smallest horse" *X'- :: not ::: X'dɛbu, "not him" *Sɛ'- :: one/single ::: Sɛ'vɛθ, "one day" *Nɛ'- :: two ::: Nɛ'tɛθvalan, "two moons" *Nɛn' - :: several ::: Nɛn'dɛun, "several men" *ʒi'- :: good ::: Nɛn'ʒi'dɛun, "several good men" *To'- :: bad ::: Sɛ'to'apajɛ, "a bad horse" (Among others; the above is just a sample) ====The 'ɛl Suffix==== Loosely translated, the 'ɛl acts as a definite article; va'ɛl, "the light." However, its use is much more restricted than in English. It denotes very heavy importance or significance to the noun it modifies. For instance, jɛoʁɛ j'dɛʁo (the path home) is not the same as jɛoʁɛ'ɛl ma'ʒada (the Path of Life). A man who wakes up in the morning might see va ma'sha (the light of the sky), but a man who awakes to see angels descending from the clouds sees va'ɛl ma'sha'ɛl (the Light of Heaven). ===Verbs=== Vedani infinitives are denoted with the "aj" dipthong, which is pronounced somewhat like "ps'''y'''chic." In conjugation, the "aj" suffix is removed. Both prefixes and suffixes can be applied to a verb to indicate tense, objects, hypotheticals, subjects, voice, negation, and affirmation. All prefixes and the tertiary tense suffix are separated with a catch. The conjugation pattern is this: HYPOTH./INTERROG. + AFFIRMATION/NEGATION + OBJECT + P. TENSE + '''STEM''' + VOICE + S. TENSE + SUBJ + T. TENSE ''Hypothetical/Interrogative'': either a ϗ'- or ϗi'- prefix. The ϗ'- prefix indicates an "if" statement. The "then" portion of the statement will utilize the affirmation or negation prefix. ϗi'- indicates a question. ''Affirmation/negation'': the s'- and x'- prefixes denote positive or negative assurance, respectively. ''Object'': indicates the object of transitive verbs. Possible objective prefixes are: *da'-, "me" *du'-, "you" (masculine) *di'-, "you" (feminine) *dan'-, "us" *dun'-, "you" (plural masculine) *din'-, "you" (plural feminine) *bu'-, "him" *bi'-, "her" *bun'-, "them" (masculine) *bin'-, "them" (feminine) *bon'-, "them" (indefinite) *o'-, "it" *on'-, "it" (plural) ''Primary tense'': Indicates past tense (ʁ'- prefix), future tense (ʃ'- prefix), or present tense (no prefix) ''Voice'': Indicates whether the verb is passive (-ra suffix) or active (no suffix) ''Secondary tense'': Indicates if the verb is progressive (-aj suffix) or not (no suffix) ''Subject'': Indicates the subject of the verb. Possible subject suffixes are: *-a, "me" *-u, "you" (masculine) *-i, "you" (feminine) *-an, "us" *-un, "you" (plural masculine) *-in, "you" (plural feminine) *-ɛbu, "him" *-iba, "her" *-ɛbun, "them" (masculine) *-iban, "them" (feminine) *-abon, "them" (indefinite) *-o, "it" *-on, "it" (plural) *-ʊ, creates an imperative. This form can be used with the present or future tense. ''Tertiary tense'': Indicates whether the verb is perfect (-'ʁ suffix) or not (no suffix). Examples: Jɛoʁaj (to go) --> jɛoʁa (I go) --> ʁ'jɛoʁa (I went) --> ϗ'x'jɛoʁa (if I don't go) --> s'ʁ'jɛoʁa (I did go) Parjaj (to give) --> parjɛbu (he gives) --> ʁ'parjarɛbu'ʁ (he was given) --> ϗ'x'o'ʁ'parjarɛbu (if he hadn't been given it) --> ϗi'o'ʁ'parjabon y'debu? (did they give it to him?) (Note that past tense hypotheticals don't require a perfect tense modifier as they do in English.) ===Adjectives=== Specializes adjectives that can't be simplified into prefix modifiers appear in close proximity to the noun they modify--typically (though not exclusively) immediately afterward. Participle adjectives are formed by replacing the infinitive "aj" ending with the "aɛ" suffix (ʒadaj "to live" --> ʒadaɛ "alive"). Also, adjectives can often be treated as verbs in the case of predicate-adjective constructs (when a passive-voice verb is insufficient). In such instances, the adjective is paired with a pronoun (or even absorbs the pronoun as an objective prefix) and utilizes the appropriate modifiers. Di'ʒadaɛ! "You're alive!" ===Adverbs=== The typical adverb suffix is "ɛi." Most often, an adverb immediately follows its parent, though in some constructs it introduces a clause. This is especially common in similes or comparisons, which often use the adverb nɛi (like, as, similarly, equally). Sɛi (surely) nɛi vaθvolo vjo, hasaja sa! "As surely as the sun shines, I am telling the truth!" ==Syntax== Vedani syntax behaves somewhat (strangely) like an oral form of sign language, based on conceptual rendering rather than exposition. Ideas are described rather than stated, which grants significant syntactical leeway. Subjects and verbs appear together in sentences only when absolutely necessary; otherwise, a conjugated verb, or noun + adjective clause, suffices. The verb "to be" is barely ever used. As much description as possible is achieved through inflection and connotation, and word order is mostly what the speaker feels gets the point across best. ==Sample Passages== ''Excerpt from 'Soldier's Song':'' Vɛzʊ ϗ'x'jɛnrɛʁa, da ʃ'nem'di laθɛna. X'laθɛna dan x'ʃ'nem. X'ʒadjɛbun da'kjaj sɛi nɛi vaθvolo vjo; nɛi teθvala jɛnrɛʁo eθ lapɛna θɛltɛva, nɛi ʃ'yɛnrɛʁa j'di. ϗ'x'zɛm ʁɛda, s'zɛm haʃia, da laθɛna riɛ. Know if I don't return, I will be with you forever. Never will we be apart. They can't kill me, as surely as the sun shines. As the moon returns with every month, so shall I return to you. If not in body, then in spirit, I am forever yours. ''Excerpt from John 1:'' ɛθ ʒaθio'ɛl Haso'ɛl. Na Haso'ɛl nɛm Sɛ'ɛl, na Sɛ'ɛl. Dɛbu nɛm Sɛ'ɛl ɛθ ʒaθio'ɛl. Jɛm dɛbu lapɛna ʁ'ʒapjaro. X'jɛm dɛbu, x'lapena ʒapjae ʁ'ʒapjaro. ʁ'zɛm dɛbu ʒada, na ba'ʒada va'ɛl ma'dɛon. In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

The term '''Nandrab''' was variously used by [[Sohlçan]] grammarians both for the common ancestor of Heleb and southern dialects, and for the unwritten contemporary dialects spoken by the rural population of the Helandar valley, which probably were transitional between Kidilib and Heleb. It was a disputed question whether the speech that formed the basis of Classical Sohlob was really the ancestor of Heleb, or represented a third node in the Helandrab/Eastern group. Some even held that Classical Sohlob was an entirely artificial literary language, based on written Middle Kidilib but heavily influenced by Eastern varieties.

Lucal Ynglisc differs from Terran English chiefly because the [[wikipedia:Normans|Normans]] never occupied all of England, and it was a Northern dialect, much less influenced by French which eventually came to be the basis for ''Mean Ynglisc'' (corresponding to Terran Standard English), which Thomas Scieridan defined as "A Norron reerd in a Suþron mowþ" ('A Northern language in a Southern mouth'), since after the Ynglisc kingdom drove out the Normans in the 15th century and its court and government moved from Geork to Lunden they brought with them a somewhat standardized written language based on Northern tradition and speech which now came to be pronounced by southerners according to their speech habits. == Spelling == {{Wynn warning}} Northern Lucal Ynglisc spelling was not 'reformed' under French influence during the 12th century as Terran English was, but continued as a native development of Old Ynglisc spelling. In Northern Old Ynglisc the spellings '''ea eo io/ie''' had stood both for the diphthongs {{IPA|/æə eə iə æːə eːə iːə/}} and for the monophthongs {{IPA|/æ(ː) ɑ(ː) o(ː) u(ː) e(ː)/}} when these followed one of the consonant graphies '''c g cg sc''' standing for {{IPA|/ʧ j ʤ ʃ/}}, or rather the spellings '''ce ge cge sce''' stood for these palatal sounds before the letter '''a''' standing for {{IPA|/æ/}} or {{IPA|/ɑ/}} and '''o''' standing for {{IPA|/o/}}, and '''ci gi cgi sci''' stod for the same sounds before the letter '''o''' standing for {{IPA|/u/}} and '''e''' standing for {{IPA|/e/}}. In addition the digraph '''iu''' was in use as an alternative to '''gio''' for {{IPA|/ju/}}. Trigraphs were not permitted in the spelling system, so e.g. '''cea''' was used for both {{IPA|/ʧɑ/}} and {{IPA|/ʧæ/}} rather than spelling the latter as '''ceæ''' or '''ciæ'''. At the end of the Old Ynglisc period the diphthongs were monophthongized by losing their [ə] element. Short {{IPA|/æ/}} and {{IPA|/ɑ/}} merged as {{IPA|/a/}}, and {{IPA|/y(ː)/}} merged with {{IPA|/i(ː)/}}. In early Middle Ynglisc the above-mentioned vowel digraphs came to make sense, and only be used, to mark preceding '''c g cg sc''' as palatal, except for '''ea''' which continued to be used as a spelling for {{IPA|/æː/}}. Conversely '''y æ''' came to be used for {{IPA|/i e/}} when these followed a non-platalized '''c g cg sc''', which was now more common than before due to the merger of unstressed vowels as [ə], which was perceived as belonging to the {{IPA|/e/}} phoneme, and Old Norse loanwords with velar consonants before front vowels. The spelling of {{IPA|/e/}} was thus highly redundant, as special spellings were used for it both when a preceding '''c g cg sc''' was palatalized and when it was non-palatalized. In addition '''æ''' was used as an alternative spelling for {{IPA|/æː/}}! In time a need was felt to mark also whether a following '''c g cg sc''' was palatalized or not, and the analogical spellings '''ai ei oe oi''' arose for this purpose, partly inspired by occasional spellings like '''dai dæi''' for traditional '''dæg''', now pronounced {{IPA|/dei/}}. In addition the spelling '''io''' came to be used for {{IPA|/i/}} in words like '''cionc''' 'chink' where it was preceded by a palatal and followed by a velar. This made spellings like '''cioc''' potentially ambiguous between {{IPA|/ʧuk/}} and {{IPA|/ʧik/}}. As can be seen the vowel digraphs were used to indicate palatal pronunciation also in syllable final clusters like '''nc ng lc lg rc rg'''. Somewhat later new vowel digraphs '''aa ee ij oo w''' came into use for long vowels, and the traditional sequences '''aƿ eƿ iƿ oƿ''' came in practice to be seen and used as vowel spellings, in free variation with '''au eu iu ou'''. In time '''ƿ''' (wynn) came to be felt as too similar to '''p þ''' and was replaced by '''w''' in all its uses. Little by little vowel trigraphs like '''iea eau ieo æi''' came to be eccepted, though spellings like '''iee''' containing a doubled vowel-letter coupled with another vowel letter was still frowned upon. It should be noted that '''iw''', replacing '''iƿ''', was largely ousted by '''iow''', probably because sequences of many vertical lines were perceived as ugly and ambiguous in the medieval hand, and it was probably for the same reason that '''iu ui''' never caught on as a means of disambiguating '''io oi''' (quite apart from the fact that '''y''' was by tradition perceived as a ligature for '''ui'''). It should be noted that unlike Irish spelling Ynglisc spelling never demanded that soft consonants should be flanked by soft vowels on both sides; the rules for soft and hard spellings only applied within the syllable. In addition unstressed '''e''' was treated as hard or disregarded, so that {{IPA|/sɪŋgən/}} was written '''syngen/siongen''' and {{IPA|/sɪnʤən/}} was written '''singen/singien'''.

The corpus of AI texts is fairly small: some runic carvings, and the Imperial Law Code of the Temple; the language has been reconstructed based on its daughter and sister languages with a fair degree of confidence. == Phonology == === Consonants === {| border=1 !POA |align=center| Labials |align=center| Dentals |align=center| Emphatics |align=center| Velars |align=center| Uvulars |align=center| Glottals |- !

This applies after the emphatic allophony, so /i/ has the realizations [i], [I], [e], [E]. The vowel /a/ has no tense/lax allophony. ==Morphosyntax== Archaic Imperial was a VSO language, though it already showed signs of the shift to SOV that occurred in its descendants. Word order is consistently head-modifier, and therefore noun-adjective, noun-genitive, preposition-noun, noun-relative clause, etc. are all neutral word-orders. ===Clauses=== AI clauses come in many different forms. The smallest is a single inflected verb, eg. ''Xiritān.'' "He/she argued". Verbal clauses can also have various stated arguments, eg. ''Liqitān uxucālik ummigāmirax'' "The traveller took off the cloak." There are clauses that lack verbs and have nominal predicates: ''Uxucālik aqsumik'' "The traveller is strong." There are also a variety of dependent clauses: relative, complement, and adjectival. ====Predicate Nominal Clauses==== ====Verbal Main Clauses==== Verbal main clauses consist of a verb and several optional NPs, usually one or two. The verb is usually inflected for the person, gender, and number of the Agent and Patient (if present) ====Subordinate Clauses==== ===Verbal Morphosyntax=== The basic division of AI verbs is between different moods: Indicative, Subjunctive, and Participial. The Indicative is represented by two aspects: Perfective and Imperfective. Tense as such is not shown on the verb. Indicative verbs have agreement/anaphora person markers in an Active-Stative alignment. Nominative arguments (A and S<sub>a<sub>) are marked by suffixes, while Absolutive arguments (P and S<sub>p<sub>) are marked by prefixes. ====The Indicative==== The indicative is used for regular declarative clauses and for some less-than-finite constructions, such as clause-chains and serial verbs. Nominative arguments: {| border=1 ! Person |align=center| Singular | Dual | Plural |- ! 1st | -ul | -utul | -rul |- ! 2nd | -uk | -utuk | -ruk |- ! 3rd an. | -(ān) | -utān | -rān |- ! 3rd in. | -(aw) | -utaw | -raw |} The 3s suffixes can be deleted in certain circumstances: with an impersonal subject, with an overt NP filling the role, and with a previously mentioned referent obvious from the context. With the verb ''xirit'' "to argue": {| border=1 ! Xirit |align=center| Singular | Dual | Plural |- ! 1st | xirtul | '''xiruttul''' | xiritrul |- ! 2nd | xirtuk | '''xiruttuk''' | xiritruk |- ! 3rd an. | xirtān | xirtutān | xiritrān |- ! 3rd in. | xirtaw | xirtutaw | xiritraw |} ''Note: The bolded forms are irregular. The regular forms would be *xirtutul and *xirtutuk, which seem to have undergone metathesis to avoid successive identical syllables.'' The alternation between CiCC and CiCiC is used to avoid three-consonant clusters, which did not occur in AI. Absolutive {| border=1 ! Person |align=center| Singular | Dual | Plural |- ! 1st | su- | siya- | is- |- ! 2nd | ku- | kai- | iku- |- ! 3rd an. | lau- | lai- | ilu- |- ! 3rd in. | nau- | nai- | in- |} The same markers are used in the perfective (CiCaaCi). ====The Subjunctive==== The subjunctive has the form(i)CCiC:usi, eg. ''ixrittusi'' 'that he argue'. It occurs in a variety of subordinate clauses, often accompanied by auxiliaries (q.v.) specifying the relation to the matrix clause. It can also occur in a main clause in a jussive sense, eg. ... One of the most common uses of the subjunctive is in complement clauses, ie. as an argument of the verb. In this usage, it takes the case suffix of the argument it is replacing. ====Auxiliaries & Serial Verbs==== ===Nominal Morphosyntax=== AI's morphosyntactic alignment combines elements of the tripartite and fluid-S systems. Pronouns have separate forms for A, P, and S; while nouns have only A and P forms (Nominative and Absolutive), either of which can be used for S. There is also a Genitive case (also used for Recipient and Benefactor roles) and an Oblique case that serves a variety of other functions. ====The Definite Article==== The definite article is inflected for the gender of the noun it modifies. For animate nouns the form is u-, while for inanimate nouns, it is u~-, where ~ represents a "chroneme": the gemination of the following consonant. ====Case and Postpositions==== {| border=1 ! Animate |align=center| Singular | Plural |- | Nominative | -ik | -lik |- | Absolutive | -as | -las |- | Genitive | -ā | -āl |- | Oblique | -ay | -ali |} {| border=1 !

Since the Chinese people originally appeared at the area around [[The Great Lake Yenchi]], they are called "Yenchi-Hai People" by many "Aboriginal" inhabitants in the 8th world, although later other group of Yenchi-Hai People appeared in various places. ==Subgroups== There are several subgroups of Yenchi-Hai People: *Eastern Contient Yenchi-Hai People *Western Contient Yenchi-Hai People *Ethinstan Yenchi-Hai People *Berk Island Yenchi-Hai People *Hokes-Stan Yenchi-Hai People *Kowa people *Phon people ==Origin== ===Western Contient Yenchi-Hai People and Ethinstan Yenchi-Hai People=== The Western Contient Yenchi-Hai People originally appeared at the area around [[The Great Lake Yenchi]](Hanzi: 嚴居海, the word "Yenchi" means "Lake" or "Sea" in [[Proto Ghinsun language]], but not comfirmed) in the [[Western Contient]], but the Yenchi-Hai People soon explored the most south hemisphere of the earth of the 8th world and knew that the earth is a great sphere, then some of them colonized the [[Yenchi-HaiStan]] on the [[Western Contient]], then [[Ethinstan]] on the [[Eastern Contient]] and Some islands of [[Vämbai islands]], the people who colonized [[Ethinstan]] became Ethinstan Yenchi-Hai people later. ===Phon people=== The Phon people originally appeared at the edge of [[The Great Desert]] in the [[Eastern Contient]], they appeared in about 3000 years ago, almost the same time the Western Contient Yenchi-Hai People appeared, they had a country named the "Phon kingdom"(Hanzi: 奉王國), but the Phon kingdom suddenly Fell at about 2500 years ago because of an unknown reason, but acoording to Archeological evidance recently, it seems that the Phon Kingdom fell because it was invaded by an unknown high-tech civilization, although the Phon kingdom has collapsed for about 3 thousand years, the Phon people still established many countries at the area where the Phon Kingdom were established at. ==Language== All the Yenchi-Hai People speak the Sino-Tibetan Chinese language as chinese people in our world, and they also write their languages with Hanzi(Hanzi: 漢字), but since they came from various era and live at various place, their languages are quite different from the Mandarin Chinese in our world. Although their languages are different, most of the Yenchi-Hai People use the Classical Chinese(also known as Wenyan ,Hanzi:文言) as the written language, although recently there are another written language of Ethinstan Yenchi-Hai Language based on the modern spoken Ethinstan Yenchi-Hai Language. The brief introduction of the languages of different Yenchi-Hai People are shown below: ===Eastern Contient Yenchi-Hai Language=== Eastern Contient Yenchi-Hai Language is the language used by Eastern Contient Yenchi-Hai People, it was derived from Hakka language. Eastern Contient Yenchi-Hai Language is very similar to Jiaoling language (might be a dialect of Hakka language, Hanzi:蕉嶺話) and Siyen language(might be a dialect of Hakka language, Hanzi:四縣話) of Hakka language, thus, it can be regarded as a dialect of Hakka language. ===Berk Island Yenchi-Hai Language=== [[Berk Island]] Yenchi-Hai Language is spoken by Berk Island Yenchi-Hai People, it was derived from Min-Nan language. Berk Island Yenchi-Hai Language is similar to Taiwanese language(might be a dialect of Min-nan language,Hanzi: 臺灣話) and Amoy language(might be a dialect of Min-nan language,Hanzi: 廈門話), thus, it can be regarded as a dialect of . ===Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language=== Western Contiend Yenchi-Hai Language is the language used by Western Contient Yenchi-Hai People, it was derived from Old Chinese. Unlike most Chinese languages we know, there are no tones in Western Contiend Yenchi-Hai Language since it was directly derived from the Old Chinese(Old Chinese had no tones) and not inflected by any tonal Chinese language later, and it has cases, the word order of Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language is basically SVO, just like Chinese languages we know, but it also uses the SOV word order when the genitive postposition or the accusative postposition is used for marking accusative like the usage of Wenyan. ===Ethin Yenchi-Hai Language=== Ethin Yenchi-Hai Language is a language similar to Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language, it was derived from Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language, but there are some words in Ethin Yenchi-Hai Language which was derived from [[Old Ethinish Language]]. Similar to Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language, it has no tones, but there are still some differences between Ethin Yenchi-Hai Language and Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language, the main difference is that Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language still uses SVO word order frequently in speaking, but Ethin Yenchi-Hai Language always uses the SOV word order. ===Phon Language=== Phon Language is the language used by Phon People, it was also derived from the Old Chinese but quite different from Western Contiend Yenchi-Hai Language orEthin Yenchi-Hai Language. Phon Language was not tonal originally, but recently, it has been inflected by Eastern Contient Yenchi-Hai Language step by step, thus, many words of Phon Language are tonal nowadays. ===Hokes-Stan Yenchi-Hai Language=== Hokes-Stan Yenchi-Hai Language is a Creole language based on Western Contient Yenchi-Hai Language with many words derived from [[Hokes Language]], It is spoken by Hokes aboriginal people and Yenchi-Hai people living in Hokes-Stan(The western part of the Western Contient) as a lingua franca, the Hokes Yenchi-Hai people use the language as their native language. ===Kowa language=== Kowa language is a Creole language based on Ethin Yenchi-Hai Language and [[Liunan language]], it is spoken by the Kowa people living in the Eastern Contient. {{stub}} [[Category:Ethnic groups of human in The 8th World]] Ellesklava 4517 26465 2007-10-28T04:45:28Z Dele 993 Replacing page with '<pre> This article is a work in progress. </pre>' <pre> This article is a work in progress. </pre> Mark Rosenfelder 4528 41143 2008-12-21T16:49:46Z WeepingElf 43 '''Mark Rosenfelder''' is a famous conlanger and conworlder. He created the fantasy world [[Almea]] with many well-elaborated conlangs, of which [[Verdurian]] is the most thoroughly worked out one. [[Category:Conlangers]] Almea 4529 50447 2009-11-12T21:47:52Z Tropylium 756 we have that article '''Almea''' is the [[Verdurian]] name for the [[conworld]] created by [[Mark Rosenfelder]]. Maps, history, etc. can be found at http://www.zompist.com/virtuver.htm . This constructed world is highly detailed, and has a written history that spans thousands of years. ==Sapients of Almea== Many separate sentient species live in the world of Almea, including humans. ===Humans, Icëlani, and Flaids=== The humans, or ''uesti'', of Almea are very close in appearance to terrestrial humans. However, they do have a deal less bodily hair, a different musculature with more surface fat, wider hips, flatter noses and ears, very large eyes, less prominently colored lips, and a more bluish complexion (uesti run from a golden color near the poles, to an olive brown (or reddish or greyish) in the latitudes of Verduria, to a dark bluish brown near the equator). ''Uestu'' feet are wider than ours, and sport only four toes, which are much less separated than ours. The ''flaids'' are related to the ''uesti'', but are much taller, and have large, flat heads and large feet. They are indigenous to only one island in all of Almea, being Flora, which is north of Verduria. The ''icëlani'' are the most primitive. They have no technology, agriculture, writing, and their art and language skills are rudimentary. Although they are sometimes called 'nymphs' or '[[elves]]', a better interpretation is that the icëlani represent something close to the form of the first hominids from which their brothers have diverged -- they are a sort of living australopithecus. ===Elcari and Múrtani=== The ''elcari'' are the most removed of their aquatic origins. They have adapted well to mountains and deserts, and their skin is hardy and thick. Elcari are able to go a week without water, and their oversized noses have adapted to allow them to breathe without losing moisture. They are small, like the ''icëlani'', but very muscular. The ''múrtani'' are considered to be a seperate species than the elcari by most Almeans, but this is inaccurate -- the two people are even interfertile. They, too, are adapted to dry climates, and their bodies are similarly built, but with some exceptions: large, pointed ears; a more elongated face with a sharp chin; and hornlike knobs at the top of the skull. ===Ilii and Ktuvoki=== The ''ilii'' are larger and heavier than humans, and they have a shiny, greyish or greenish skin. They are completely hairless, and appear wet even when perfectly dry. The main habitat of these people is the ocean's [[continental shelf]], which they settled, allowing men to inhabit the land. The bulk of the ''ilii'' diet consists of plants grown on the sea floor, which are harvested to feed the towns, villages, and cities that rest on the sea floor as well. All through Almea's history, the ilii have outmatched the humans in technology. The ''ktuvoki'' evolved from sharklike predators, but they are no longer sea-dwelling; now sending most of their lives in swamps or wetlands. These creatures are taller than a man, are bulky and muscular, and have fearsome teeth and claws. A frill of small tentacles protrudes from their hairless heads, and the skin on their chest and back is thick and strong enough to resist a knife or arrow. Like the ''ilii'', the ktuvoki remain able to breathe on land and in the water, but cannot tolerate desiccation. ===Gdeoni and Kushaki=== ''Gdeoni'', or giants, are extinct [[hominid]]s that once lived in the plains and savannahs where they hunted large game. They were hominids, at least twice the height of an adult human. Some Almean authors say that they are merely creatures of legend, and never really existed. ''Kushaki'', or ogres, are also spoken of by Almeans. They can be compared to the giants as the ''múrtani'' can be to the ''elcari''. Their historical nature is even more doubtful than the ''gdeoni''. ==External links== *[http://zompist.com/drill1.htm Almea] *[http://zompist.com/virtuver.htm Virtual Verduria] *[http://zompist.com/verbio.htm The descent of lesüasi], an account of the various sentient species on Almea The Storm at kvintlat 4530 26487 2007-10-30T09:47:24Z Schlaier 619 lang før, ǽn sturm farð kvintlaten <br> long before, a storm fared to kvintlat <br><br> øln seiktur hafn i vaggna, ǽn møður lǽft ut þǿgg. <br> all sought haven in the walls, a man remained out though <br><br> kǽles farð þveo og þætt veskt hvi þeo lǽft. <br> kahless went to him and he asked why he remained <br><br> <<Akk færa ney>> mænnrinn segð <br> "i fear not" the man said <br><br> <<akk skal bjarga ney grimm minn i stǽnn og i lim. <br> "i shall shelter not my face in stone and mortar <br><br> Akk skal standa før vændǽ og þo skal ægir mikk>> <br> i shall stand before the wind and it shall respect me" <br><br> kǽles ægirt þeos kyrt og þætt farð i til vaggna. <br> kahless respected his choice and he went in to the walls <br><br> styrmrinn ga daggoftra og mænnrinn var deyt <br> the storm came dayafter and the man was dead <br><br> sva vændǽ ægirna ǽn dolt. <br> as the wind respects not a fool <br><br> File:Northern Romance Distribution.png 4531 26527 2007-10-31T21:08:01Z Pete 762 uploaded a new version of "[[Image:Northern Romance Distribution.png]]" The four houses 4532 27356 2007-12-09T13:55:21Z Schlaier 619 "noble" houses <br> <br> drakkabjørg - rules the north most islands. led by Arnólf Harlang Ragnmundssen. maintains the <br> largest navy of the four houses. arms: red dragon wrapped around a white tower on black <br> <br> ørnubjørg - rules ørnøy the second largest island. led by brothers Firste dragna Olfarssen and <br> Annarr Øskjøl Olfarssen, the former known for having been raised on the mainland. arms: brown eagle on yellow <br><br> ǽkness - rules the small southern islands. led by Høyrsen Belgbein Skjasen, terribly violent and a <br> bastard. arms: unicorn and lion combatant on red <br><br> hvyrlyk - rules langøy. led by Karl Ǽkarm Vrekkørssen. arms: silver crown on black <br> <br> conquered houses <br><br> gúðolta - formerly leal to ørnubjørg the entire house was wiped out in the war between drakkabjørg <br> and ørnubjørg <br><br> høttjukné - leal to ǽkness. lead by Olfar Olfarssen. known for having adept seid men. <br><br> somarstað - leal to hvyrlyk. led by Aldrik Karlssen. <br><br> svanness - leal to hvyrlyk. led by Bjørn Alfrikssen. <br><br> norðbjørg - leal to drakkabjørg. led by Gǽrólf Arnólfssen Drakkabjørg, first son of Arnólf Harlang <br> Ragnmundssen Drakkabjørg. <br><br> súðbjørg - leal to ørnubjørg but hotly disputed by drakkabjørg. led by Dyr Dvergssen. <br><br> rafnsbjørg - lea to drakkabjørg. led by Dǽtólf Arnólfssen Drakkabjørg, second son of Arnólf <br> Harlang Ragnmundssen Drakkabjørg. <br><br> Of Morath and Kaeles 4533 26523 2007-10-31T11:45:06Z Schlaier 619 Kǽles hald skappan fæðirs þess. <br> Kahless held his father's lifeless body. <br><br> Kǽles trøggna hvað bræðir þess haft skapt. <br> kahless belived not what his brother had made. <br><br> þæn, Morað kast svarð fæðirs þess i sarað og Morað segð <<jaf, Akk skæl hafa ney svarð fæðirs minn naþeir skald Kǽles>>. <br> then Morath threw his father's sword into the sea and Kahless's brother said if he shall not have his father's sword neither would kahless. <br><br> þessa var ændir segjændi af hna tvárarsk. <br> this was the last said between the two.<br><br> Kǽles opt og þætt gøstur i sarað. <br> Kahless wept and he gazed into the sea. <br><br> sva, sværðrinn var ændir af hældengar fæðirs Kǽless og tara þess føltur sarna og sara røstur yfir skørroa. <br> as the sword was the last of kahless's father's holdings and his tears filled the sea and the sea raised over the shore. <br><br> Folkærnir vøsktur Kǽles opanna og þætt opturna og þætt farður fennan lor svarð þess, hvað var i sernir. <br> the people asked Kahless to weep not and he wept not and he went to find his lost sword that was in the sea. <br><br> Kǽles seikturæng saras myrklik botn og þætt kopéntur æðm þess þrir daggs langt og þrir nitts langt før þætt fynntur svarð fæðirs þess. <br> Kahless searched and searched the sea's murky bottom and he kept his breath for three days length <br> and three nights length.<br><br> Proto-Persian' 4534 49878 2009-10-23T12:38:06Z Tropylium 756 /* Cluster table */ *no* medial postaspirates Thanks to some of the oldest languages attested in writing ([[Tsonboran]] especially) belonging in the [[Persian']] family, this protolang can reliably be traced all the way back to about -8ka, despite the family being relativly small.

[[User:Nik|Nik]] 09:52, 1 November 2007 (PDT) :No. Just look at the thing - it looks nothing like Dravidian. (Three stop phonation series, no geminates, and only one coronal but two dorsal POAs, for just the few most glaring feature mismatches thus far.) Earth' branches from ours a few hundred thousand years ago: we get multiple surviving hominid species etc. The "present day" is a millenia or two off from ours, too. :The allusions are per the wider historical role played by the family. Tsonboran is pretty much the Sumerian analog, in a nod to the Elamo-Dravidian hypothesis... And yes "allusion'''s'''", as there are more of these. The Altaic' family (see [[Proto-Altaic']]) for instance is something of an Afro-Asian parallel, and the alleged Betamax (actually, that one has a proper interuniverse name too: "Ouiqál") is a "pseudo-Spanish". There's more, but these are the most up-front about it. --[[User:Tropylium|John Vertical]] 08:13, 2 November 2007 (PDT) ::Ah, okay. I thought by "analogue" you meant that it was descended from it. I know only a little bit about modern Tamil (and no other Dravidian languages), and nothing about reconstructed Proto-Dravidian. ::Multiple surviving hominid species? How'd that happen? [[User:Nik|Nik]] 16:07, 2 November 2007 (PDT) :::I haven't worked out much details, but chiefly it seems that ''H. sapiens'' & co. were not quite successful in wiping out ''H. erectus''. It, or its descendants generally hold the hunter-gatherer ecological niche in continental Eurasia, and have domesticated the dog. Civilization is generally limited to Asia and NW Africa. There may be a Neanderthalid species still in Europe, and a fourth species in southern Africa. Australia and the Americas have nothing radically different, and I'm unsure if the latter have even been completely colonized yet. Oh, and this just in: the dromedary was hunted to extinction before the Neolithic, which could explain why there have been no nomadic peeples invading the Iberian Peninsula. --[[User:Tropylium|John Vertical]] 10:23, 4 November 2007 (PST) ::::So, is ''H. sapiens'' the only species with our level of intelligence? Also, is their highest civilization still at a fairly low level of development? [[User:Nik|Nik]] 07:13, 5 November 2007 (PST) :::::[bɜ̃ːʰ] [<sound of smacking face>], I realized I never checked back on this. Yeah, there's only one truly sapient hominid species. Actually, due to some differences — tentativly, a more "water-ape" development leading to eg. a smaller figure: a well-fed person would be 1.6 m on average, with less variation between sexes — I don't think they should be called ''H. sapiens'' actually. Nevertheless, this is all still pretty half-baked; this conworld isn't really in activ development as much as a background sketch to hang some projects & excess phonology sketches to... When, or if, I get around to expanding on this it'll be at [[Earth']] and subpages. :::::As for your other question, it's a highly diachronic conworld, but my "present day" in terms of politics & absolute chronology compares somewhat close to 1100s~1300s Arabia & China. Some, but certainly not all technological aspects may be as far as mid-1800s level. Haven't decided yet which.

These are separated into three main groups on the basis of their obstruent correspondences. The palatalization of /t d/ to /ts dz/ affected all of these, as did the loss of lateral obstruents (but slightly differently in each). The loss of labiovelars and shibilants applied only sporadically and is in some cases dateable to the individual languages. Side note: *lhaterals and *dr only occur medially. The evidence for *dr as distinct from *d is very feeble, based on transcriptions of New Tsonboran and a handful of group A lexemes. {| |- align="center" !

This leads to a cyclic chain-shift concerning the phonemes /θ t ts/, and similarly, /ð d dz/. The first step is the fortition of the interdentals to dental stops. The chain-shift in proper begins when the alveolar affricates lenite to laminal alveolar sibilants. These then take the place of the old interdentals. The chain becomes complete when the alveolar stops become new affricates (alveolar ~ retroflex), and the dental stops shift to the alveolar position. ** Branch B' is a minor subgroup, displaying (in addition to a more recent devoicing tendency) some difference in treatment of certain consonants that may hint an erly split. * Branch C resembles B in fortition of spirants and affrication of /t d/, but retains uvulars and most original stops. The old alveolar sibilants /s z/ become interdental. New /s/ is derived from /ʃ/, in modern-day languages also from the various affricate series.

For /ɨ/, the second vowel needs to be bracketed by two voiced consonants, in order to delete. For example: neibeidej /ˈnɨp_vɨt_vˌeʒ/ simplifies as [ˈnɨp_vdeʒ] because both the consonant before and after are voiced. /ʊ/, on the other hand, only deletes between nasals or approximants, as in leureumeih (/"lʊRʊmɨ/ ["lʊɣmə]). ==Terminal Syllable Reduction== When a word ends on an unaccented syllable with a plosive onset, a "secondary" vowel (/ɛ ɔ ɪ ʊ/), and a fricative coda, there is a form of extreme reduction. In the place of that syllable, an affricate, based on the position of the plosive, and to a lesser degree the fricative, comes about. For example, hoateiv, /ɔtɨv/, is realized as [ɔts)] while hoateac, /ɔtɛx/, is realized as [ɔtʃ)]. To explain, /p/ along with any fricative creates [pf)], while /t/ with /x ʃ/ produces [tʃ)] but with any other produces [ts)]. /k/ with /ʃ/ also produces [tʃ)], but with any other, [kx)]. /q/, however, uniformally produces [qχ)]. ==Phonotactics== (C)v(C), no consonant clusters are permitted within words, except those arising due to haplology. ==Vowel Clusters== */a ɛ ɔ/ + any other vowel, [a: ɛ: ɔ:] or if unstressed [ɒ: ɜ: ɞ:] *(other vowel) /i ɨ/ (other vowel), [j] *(other vowel) /u ʊ/ (other vowel), [w]. *Otherwise, seperate vowel qualities are retained ==Stress== Stress falls on the initial syllable about 90% of the time, but that remaining group is unpredictable. Stress is phonemic but highly unproductive, therefore. Secondary stress is required on many affixes, notably on the terminal verb marker -ej.

It is divided into 60 ''zasssash''. Historically, it had the same division and value as the [[Imperial Chan]]. After the [[Global War]], the currency's value plummeted in an episode of serious hyperinflation. In 764, a new Chan was established, at the rate of 1 Old Chan = ½ New Zash (1 New Chan = 360 Old Chan), or 1 Imperial Chan = 2½ New Krivashanian Chan. This value did not hold, and it began slowly slipping, although not to anywhere near the same degree as before. The redivision took place in 793, at which point the 3-zash was the smallest still-produced coin. Every city in the Confederation produces its own coins, which are all legal tender in every part of the Confederation. The Confederation government produces banknotes. Its value is now pegged at 60 to the Imperial Chan, or 3 Imperial zash to the Krivashan chan. This peg has held since 824. == Coins == *5 Zassash *15 Zassash *30 Zassash *1 Chan *3 Chan *5 Chan (some city-states) *6 Chan (some city-states) *10 Chan (some city-states) *12 Chan (some city-states) *20 Chan (some city-states) All cities produce either 5- and 10-chan coins ''or'' 6- and 12-chan coins. A few cities also produce 20-chan coins. == Banknotes == *''½ Chan'' (no longer produced) *''1 Chan'' (no longer produced) *''3 Chan'' (no longer produced) *''5 Chan'' (no longer produced) *''10 Chan'' (no longer produced) *25 Chan *50 Chan *100 Chan *250 Chan *500 Chan Historically, prior to the redivision of the chan, there were some 3-vezh banknotes in circulation as well. [[Category:Galhafan Currencies]] Krivashan Confederation 4551 40615 2008-12-07T20:04:04Z Christina 18 The '''Krivashan Confederation''' is a small confederation of city-states in modern-day [[Odira]]. The largest member is the City-State of [[Krivashan]]. Prior to the [[Global War]], the Confederation was a member-state of the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Empire]]. It seceeded during the last days of the War, forming a separate peace with the Eastern Alliance. == Organization == The Confederation is divided into several city-states, which consist, in turn, of a central City and a number of surrounding towns, which control surrounding rural areas (if any), and, in many cases, subordinate villages. The City-States have a modest degree of autonomy, and produce their own coins (banknotes are issued by the central Confederation government).

Old Piscean technically has several stages and was changed by Anderson rapidly. However, few records of the language remain and it is currently understood to have had three major transitions, the first of which is barely mutually intelligible with modern Piscean, while the last of which is closely related. Old Piscean was always written using the Latin alphabet, before the introduction of the [[Andersonic alphabet]], which defined a new age in the language. ==Early Old Piscean== Early Old Piscean, then referred to as Gallifreyan (G'ow'lufrën) after the name of the protagonist's home planet in the popular science-fiction programme ''Doctor Who'', was an extremely basic variety of the language. It began as the fictional 'vulgar' language of the Time Lords in Anderson and Dearden's abandoned novel ''[[Wasporella]]'', one of the only remaining sources that proves Gallifreyan's existence. Mostly, it appears to be a creole of modern English vocabulary [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-based_creole_languages], with some invented stems and influences from Romance languages; in the novel from whence it came, Gallifreyan was supposedly the result of the Festaran conquest, a race of aliens who had observed cultures on Earth, especially enjoying British mannerisms, and had been inspired to alter their language. From ''Wasporella'' is the following excerpt of early Old Piscean text: 'Ne G’ow’lufrëän réfömiä foЋ < À’de’löd Inplaçä Gég Zil > skrip’ine: William Shakespeare foЋ Ongliä, Barg Brætannik, Yö’rûps, puЋ Teπniä, à ne Lûdöniä Likwæ’sek’ine: Täm Seköndriäkën Nundiä’fondät’air’ëä, tiam’ine: IV:00;00. Réligën y’ow’l’air’s cuπ Krövën’déçæ’berЋä! Öd lokäti’de’biß inkluçä Frarnäçëä, D’oy’cëä, RûЋëä, IjiÞëä, Chinnëä, JiÞänëä, Östarlëä, Harbor’ore Ajäçënsë-ύ foЋ Annërikä, Jumäkä, nes Méksikö. Skrip’ëlög’ine, ne puЋ Sakörëä, Pökävil, Dash’tæt, Içæn Kaßuذl, nes Olëänfäkëä. Ermendä a’ow’l’air's tu réçæ elög dat.' This text reveals many features of early Old Piscean. Of particular note is the frequent use of apostrophes. The primary reason for this is due to 'sound units': these are groups of letters that make a widely-used sound in the language, almost becoming letters themselves by being isolated from surrounding letters. Sound units from the excerpt include 'ow', 'ine', 'air', 'oy' and 'ore'; these units are all considered members of the Old Piscean alphabet, which also consists of: a à ä b c з d e é æ ë f Ћ ύ g h i j k l m n ŋķ o ö p Þ r π s ß ç t u û v w y z ذ The exact phonological values of these letters cannot be completely determined. Note that some letters are corrupted and do not match their original values: for example, з is a double C, Ћ is a double F (or TH), Þ is a double P and π is a double R. While the excerpt resembles an English creole, some original compounds have been made. For example, observe the word 'likwæ’sek’ine', which is derived from [likwæ ('liquid')]+[sek'ine ('section')]. This word is translated into English as 'river'. It shows that early Old Piscean was heavily dependent on apostrophes, not only to make new 'letters' from sound units, but also to separate words in compounds. Some words in Old Piscean have different meanings from those in English from which they were produced: *réfömiä - from 'reform' > 'adaptation' *réligën - (probably) from 'realign' > 'treat' (verb) *ajäçënsë - from 'adjacency' > 'state' *ermendä - (possibly) from 'amend' > 'contact' *elög - (probably) from 'elong[ate]' > 'more' *dat - from 'data' > 'information' Early Old Piscean was crude, so to speak. There were no conjugations or alternate forms of verbs whatsoever, only a stem that was used in every instance; the word 'neeЋ' placed after a stem made it past tense. Piscean also incorporated a dash as a significant linguistic device because the language had no standalone verb translated as 'to be'; it merely had the word 'nee', which meant 'it is': *[M'ow'l - nee] - [I - it is]>I am *[A’ow’l’air’s – nee dæpätä-ŋķ] - [we - it is going]>we are going (Sometimes, 'liz' was used instead of 'nee' for a purpose that has become unclear.) Note that a hyphen and 'ŋķ' after a verb stem indicates present continuous tense, which was also adapted as the sole future tense. A hyphen and 'ύ' indicates a plural. Either '-ύύ' or '-ύύύ' were used to indicate possessive forms, although the reason for choosing one of the two is now unknown. Despite its clumsiness, Old Piscean would eventually become a functional, albeit limited, conlang in its right, aside from ''Wasporella''. ===Survival of early Old Piscean=== Some vulgar Gallifreyan vocabulary has survived throughout Old Piscean and has ultimately been adapted into modern Piscean. For this reason, Gallifreyan is still classified as Piscean language. Vocabulary retained from Old Piscean is now recessive, due to the Piscean's dominant new foundation of Old English and German. So words have been replaced, while the old words are sub-branches to fill more specific meanings. Observe the following examples: *Old Piscean ''gibs'y'ow'l'' - English ''thank you'' *Modern Piscean ''gibsjówl'' - English phrase ''You shouldn't have!'' *Modern Piscean ''tancee'' - English ''thank you'' ~ *Old Piscean ''winfanëä'' - English ''flight'' *Modern Piscean ''Winfanéje'' - English ''flight'' (only referring to a single flight (journey by flight), e.g. a flight on a plane) *Modern Piscean ''Fleojung'' - English ''flight'' (only referring to the ability of flight) ~ *Old Piscean ''harbor’ore'' - English ''community'' *Modern Piscean ''Harbortsche'' - English ''ethnic-minority community'' *Modern Piscean ''Gefere'' - English ''community'' ~ *Old Piscean ''y’ow’l’æçé'' - English ''yours'' (singular) *Modern Piscean ''Jowleçaé'' - English ''it's yours!'' (exclamation; referring to something that wasn't previously theirs or not what they believed to be theirs) *Modern Piscean ''jor'' - English ''your''; ''yours'' ~ *Old Piscean ''spannäkën'' - English ''time'' *Modern Piscean ''Spannáccen'' - English ''time'' (only referring to one's sense of time, e.g. 'The time goes quickly when you're having fun' *Modern Piscean ''Time'' - English ''time'' (only referring to physical time) ~ *Old Piscean ''vén’anz'' - English ''location'' *Modern Piscean ''Venánz'' - English ''sought-after location'' *Modern Piscean ''Pozixion'' - English ''location''; ''position'' ~ *Old Piscean ''foЋ'' - English ''of''; ''within'' *Modern Piscean ''foff'' - English ''within'' (only in an abstract sense, i.e. not physically within something, when an [abstract noun] is within sth, as opposed to a concrete noun, e.g. 'the anger within him') *Modern Piscean [genitive case]/''in''[+dative] - English ''of''/''within'' (only referring to a [concrete noun] within sth ~ Additionally, some early Old Piscean words have retained their original meanings because they are very functional, especially in conversation. These include: ===='Nee'==== As aforementioned, early Old Piscean had no verb 'to be', but had a steam that meant 'it is'. On the other hand, modern Piscean has two different verbs translated as 'to be' and a separate word 'hit' meaning 'it'. Nevertheless, modern Piscean revives the use of 'nee' for expressions beginning with 'it is' in English in which 'it' does not refer to an actual item, at least not one that has previously been clarified. For example, many 'nee' statements relate to the weather. *Nee wolcij - it's cloudy (at the moment) *Nee god, dass cunn icc faran - it's good that I can go (on one occasion) 'Nee' allows one be concise in a subject matter from which the audience automatically derives the context; in this case, the weather does not need to be mentioned. Furthermore, it would be incorrect in Piscean to say 'the weather is [cloudy]' because that would be seen as describing the concept of weather, rather than its effect on one's surroundings. Modern Piscean has also derived 'nij' from the Old Piscean word 'nee'. 'Nij' refers to the essence rather than condition. Compare the usage of 'nee' and 'nij' to the verbs [[Piscean_language#'Bean'_and_'zijan'|'bee' and 'zij']] in modern Piscean: the principles are the same. *Nij wolcij - it's (generally) cloudy *Nij god, dass cunn icc faran - it's good that I can go (regularly) ===='Tiamíne' and 'eatíne'==== In modern Piscean, it is incorrect to say 'the time is ...' and 'the temperature is ...' because these are seen as describing the concepts of time and temperature themselves rather than making a remark about their current state. 'Tiamíne' is from Old Piscean 'tiam'ine' and is ultimately related to modern English 'time'. Translated into English, the word means 'the time is'. In Piscean, it is customary to always use the twenty-four-hour clock and to separate the time into two two-digit numbers (when using hours and minutes) using a hyphen: *Tiamíne 13-22 - the time is 13.22/1.22 p.m. 'Eatíne' is from Old Piscean 'ëät’ine' and is likely related to modern English 'heat'. In English, the word means 'the temperature is'. It used to state the temperature of the general surroundings, not a specific item, thus not taking various temperature-affecting factors into account. With the Celsius scale in Piscean, a lower-case C is placed before the figure. (Similarly, with the Fahrenheit scale, a lower-case F is placed before the figure.) *Eatíne c22 - the temperature is 22°C ===='Nes'==== Throughout Piscean's history, there have always been two words for 'and', the usage of either depending on context. Early Old Piscean had 'uπ' and 'nes'. Later down the line, modern Piscean had replaced 'uπ' with Old English 'and', whereas 'nes' was kept to cater for its unique meaning. To know whether to use 'and' or 'nes', when translating English, can be achieved by imagining possible contexts. If the word 'and' could be replaced by 'and then' and still make sense, one should use 'nes'. If the word 'and' does not make sense in its context when replaced by 'and then', one should use 'and'. ==Middle Old Piscean== Middle Old Piscean is the clearly transitional stage between early and late Old Piscean. At this point, the name 'Gallifreyan' was completely replaced by 'Piscean' after the star sign of its inventor Anderson and also the name of his proposed nation (New Pisces). Middle Old Piscean seems to retain much of the vocabulary from the earliest dialect, but is more fuctional, having been influenced directly by Romance and Germanic languages, especially French and Italian and - to some degree - German. In this dialect, spelling reforms become apparent. 'Præma' (early Old Piscean) becomes 'pryma' in middle Old Piscean and ultimately becomes 'prime' in the modern dialect of the language. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX32ZAQR6D0 ''Li Pryma Piskeser Kasta''] enables one to hear middle Old Piscean in usage. Furthermore, the document ''The Reformed Constitution for the Language of Piscean'' shows how individual letters should be pronounced: <blockquote> ===The model=== Piscean is mainly a logical language, as opposed to naturalistic. It is easy to speak and even to make up if in doubt, because of the reduced irregularities in its system. ===The sounds=== [[Image:Where_sounds_are_made.gif|left]] Piscean has a wide array of sounds, as its base words are adapted from several different languages, with high Romance and Germanic influences. However, certain sounds have been changed and Piscean should be a language which is easy to speak, that rolls naturally off the tongue. The pronunciation should not be an art; thus, no aspirated nasal, as in French, or guttural sounds are included. Pronunciation is very similar to English. [[Image:OP_ME_comparison.gif|right]] Here is an example of a word pronunciation grid for English, which helps with the position of vowels in the mouth. Below are the equivalent sounds for Piscean, so an Anglophone understands how to say them. [[Image:ME_OP_comparison.gif|right]] Vowels in words that don’t end in ‘h’ are always emphasised. In words that do end in ‘h’, the ‘h’ is silent, but the word’s vowel is closed rather than open. There are hardly any closed vowels in Piscean. Put simply, one of two tones is expressed by the presence or absence of an ‘h’. *The vowel distinguished by a grave accent is always the most stressed in the word. *If there is no accentuated vowel, but the word ends in a normal vowel, that normal vowel is the most stressed in the word. *If there is no accent and the word ends in a consonant, the first syllable of the word is the most pronounced. It is hard to find strict phonological constraints in Piscean. Consonants such as ‘m’ + ‘r’ and ‘v’ + ‘l’ are illegal in English, but they can be used in Piscean. However, they tend not to be used due to the constraints of the languages that influence Piscean. ===The letters=== Piscean uses the Roman alphabet and can potentially use the following letters, where examples are given for the variations of pronunciation from English: *a – f'''a'''ther, b'''a'''t *b *c – whi'''ch''' *d *e – s'''ay''', b'''e'''t *f *g – '''g'''arden (always hard) *h *i – b'''i'''t, s'''ay''' (at end of word) *j – '''sh'''ow *k *l *m *n *o – b'''oa'''t, h'''o'''t *p *q – '''qu'''een at the start of or within words; ba'''ck''' at the end of words *r – barn (within word), whale (at start of word) *s – boss *t *u – r'''u'''ne, s'''oo'''t *v *w omitted *x *y – s'''ee''' (long vowel) *z – single ‘z’, '''z'''oo; double ‘z’, pi'''zz'''a *à *è *ì *ò *ù *ỳ '''NOTE:''' All accentuated vowels are to be aspirated, as if an ‘h’ is preceding them. ‘Duò’, therefore, is doo-hoa. ===The construction of words=== Base words in Piscean come from already existent languages and from that point, you can combine several base words to make a new constructed word. For example, the word for ‘succeed’ in Piscean is ‘fetaben’, which literally means ‘make good’. The word for ‘fail’ is ‘fetamales’, which translates ‘make bad’. From these constructed words, Piscean can make new routes by attaching suffixes. A ‘success’ is a ‘fetabeno’ while a failure is a ‘fetamaleso’. A successor is a ‘fetabenu’ and the study of success, if there ever was one, would be ‘fetabeny’. This system is easy to make up in everyday speech once you understand it and assists with the growth of the language. The base words ‘feta’ and ‘ben’ come from French ‘fait’ and Italian ‘bene’.</blockquote> Note that modern Piscean still does combine words, but not in the definite matter as in middle Old Piscean. However, there are still remnants in modern Piscean of words that have been combined that way. As traces of early Old Piscean vocabulary, middle Old Piscean fills more obscure gaps in the modern dialect. Observe: *Old Piscean ''fetaben'' - English ''succeed'' *Modern Piscean ''fetábenan'' - English ''surpass expectation'' *Modern Piscean ''folgan'' - English ''succeed'' ===Latter middle Old Piscean=== Latter middle Old Piscean is classified as a moderate transition, but not major because the middle Old Piscean dialect is not dramatically affected. However, despite little new vocabulary, this stage saw an influx of inspiration from modern Dutch. Arguably, latter middle Old Piscean is every bit as crucial as the other transitions, as it marks the point at which Piscean first becomes a distinctly flavoured West Germanic language. ==Late Old Piscean== This form of Piscean is the distinct bridge between the old dialects and the modern dialects. It is very close to modern Piscean, but without any Old English influence. However, the earlier phonology was adapted to an inventory that would be retained in modern Piscean and Tauro-Piscean, all nouns began to be capitalised, a new - albeit mainly synthetic - tense system was introduced and much Romance vocabulary in common use (such as the articles and numbers) was ruthlessly replaced by that of Germanic - namely Dutch and German - origin. Of particular note are the word-forming tendencies preserved from Old Piscean: instead of borrowing words directly, compounds were formed, e.g. the late Old Piscean word 'Getranfer' means 'change', from the Germanic prefix 'ge-' plus middle Old Piscean 'tranfer' - literally 'that which has been transferred'. This compounding is one of the major elements that separates late Old Piscean from the modern dialect, which does prefer to borrow directly from German and Old English. It still remains unclear why the Dutch link was severed in favour of the Old English link, despite the preservation of many German words. It is assumed that Anderson felt the Dutch language to be too modern, meaning that its impurities may have caused confusion, especially considering that a large amount of modern vocabulary already came from German; thus, an extinct classical language, i.e. Old English, would have had large appeal for the foundation of modern Piscean, with modern German continuing to fill gaps in the vocabulary.

Anderson, L.J. Partridge |date=27 November 2007}} The '''Tauro-Piscean language''' is a [[West Germanic]] language and principally a descendant of [[Old English]]. It is spoken by approximately two million native speakers in the Tauro-Piscean Republic. It stands out from other [[Germanic languages]] due to its lack of purely grammatical gender - despite retaining this feature in a significant form - its peculiar tense system and inflection, its large number of moods, the amount of vocabulary borrowed from Romance languages and Old Taurusian, and, to some degree, its phonology. ==Phonology== [[Image:Tpphon.png]] *The uvular trill, uvular fricative and alveolar approximant are in free variation with one another. *Glottal stops are present between a word that ends in a vowel and the next word when it begins with a vowel. *The black vowels are the dominant forms, whereas the grey vowels are recessive and only pronounced in such a manner when they are followed by two like consonants, e.g. bb, dd, ff, etc. *The multicoloured umlaut vowels are pronounced as diphthongs, where the arrows represent the glides.<br> <blockquote>ä = /eə/<br> ï = /aɪ/<br> ü = /ɔɪ/</blockquote> ===Phonotactics=== ====Syllable structure==== The syllable structure in Tauro-Piscean is (C)(C)(C)V(V)(C)(C)(C). Thus, every syllable must contain at least one vowel. ====Onset==== The following can occur as the onset: [[Image:Tponset.png]] ====Coda==== The following can occur as the coda: [[Image:Tpcoda.png]] ====Syllable-level rules==== *Both the onset and coda are optional */l/ as a coda may only be preceded by a, ê and ö. /lp/, /lt/, /lk/, /lf/, /lv/ and /lm/ as a coda may only be preceded by ö. ===Stress=== Stress in Tauro-Piscean usually falls on the first syllable, with the following exceptions: *Verbs of the -eêran group (applicable to all inflections, e.g. -eê, -eêrong, etc.) receive stress on their penultimate syllable. *Similarly, nouns of the -eêrung group receive stress on their penultimate syllable. *Nouns ending in -izmo also receive stress on their penultimate syllable. *Adjectives of the -abêl, -ibêl, -itis, -ozê and -ezê groups receive stress on the first syllable of the suffix. *Words that begin with the prefixes be-, ge-, ent-, ä-, är- vä-, vär-, zä-, zär-, miss-, äf-, äs-, a-, ond-, bi-, fë-, je-, on-, to-, un-, ïm-, of- and et- receive stress on the syllable that follows the prefix. *Nouns ending in -ion, -ä and -io receive stress on the syllable that precedes the suffix. *Nouns ending in -uê receive stress on the penultimate syllable. *Prefixes and suffixes associated with grammatical tense and mood are never stressed; the verb stem is always that which receives stress. For example, in 'gekumut', 'kum' - which is the stem of 'kuman' ('to come') - is the syllable that is stressed. *Words in which a vowel is marked with an acute or grave accent receive stress on the indicated syllable (in which the marked vowel is contained). (Note that a grave-accent-marked vowel is a combination of an umlaut vowel and a acute-accent-marked vowel. Therefore, the grave accent affects pronunciation in addition to stress.) ===Intonation=== Prosodic stress is extra stress given to words when they appear in certain positions in an utterance, or when they receive special emphasis. It can shift for various pragmatic functions, such as focus or contrast. *Best Mäjenenwist tomäjen? - Is it breakfast tomorrow? *Nesê, ne Ĕfenenwist tomäjen - no, it's ''dinner'' tomorrow *Ikk rekk nat„ wet smä jă - I don't care what ''you'' think *Ikk kwetedê„ dass hāb ikk twa Hundênen - I said that I ''would have'' two dogs Often indicated in English using italic letters, it is indicated in Tauro-Piscean by replacing the first vowel of the stressed word with its breve or macron form, depending on whether the vowel is plain or umlaut respectively. ==Orthography== The Tauro-Piscean alphabet is a variant of the Latin alphabet, using the following letters: A B D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U V W Z Ĝ Ŝ Ä Ë Ï Ö Ü Ê (Vowels with acute, grave, macron and breve accents are not considered part of the alphabet because they affect only stress: Á É Í Ó Ú À È Ì Ò Ù Ă Ĕ Ĭ Ŏ Ŭ Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū) Tauro-Piscean orthography is highly phonemic and graphemes correspond accurately to phonemes. In some cases, silent letters are present or the usual grapheme to which a phoneme corresponds is changed, namely when verbs are inflected for the present perfect and past continuous tenses (when T is added to the stem of the verb): *The value of B becomes /p/ e.g. habb /hæ'''b'''/ becomes habbt /hæ'''p'''t *D becomes silent, e.g. hïd /haı'''d'''/ becomes hïdt /haı'''t'''/ *The value of G becomes /k/ e.g. zag /zɑ:'''g'''/ becomes zagt /zɑ:'''k'''t/ *The value of V becomes /f/ e.g. revölv /re:vø:l'''v'''/ becomes revölvt /re:vø:l'''f'''t/ *The value of Z becomes /s/ e.g. rïz /raız/ becomes rï'''z'''t /raı'''s'''t/ Dominant vowels - apart from Ê - are always long, while recessive vowels (followed by two like consonants) and Ê are always short. Two like consonants are pronounced in the same manner as one of those consonants alone, but the pronunciation of the vowel preceding the consonants is altered (from dominant to recessive). Loanwords from other languages are adapted for Tauro-Piscean orthography and pronunciation. In many cases, the new variants become unrecognisable from the original word, but consistent spelling is retained. For example, the Tauro-Piscean word 'Seĝuê' ('weekend') /se:ʤu:ə/ is adapted from the French word 'séjour' ('stay', 'sojourn', 'abode') and 'Feton' ('soap opera') /fe:to:n/ from the French 'feuilleton'. Anderson plans to develop an enhanced version of the Tauro-Piscean orthography as an alternative to IPA for transliterating words. ==Nouns== The initial letter of every noun in Tauro-Piscean is capitalised. Like most Germanic languages, Tauro-Piscean forms left-branching noun compounds, where the first noun modifies the category given by the second. For example: Hundenhuttê (dog hut or doghouse). Unlike English, where newer compounds or combinations of longer nouns are often written in open form with separating spaces, Piscean always uses the closed form without spaces. For example: Tŝreënhus (tree house). Tauro-Piscean compounds also assist in the differentiation of a compound adjective from two adjacent adjectives that each independently modify the noun. Compare the following examples: *Essïzëren '''Zürênlözung''' - '''acid solution''' that is acetic > acetic acid solution *'''Essïzëren Zürê''' Lözung - solution of '''acetic acid''' > acetic-acid solution *'''Runden Beod''' Redung - discussion held at the '''round table''' > round-table discussion *Runden '''Beodenredung''' - '''table discussion''' that is round > round table discussion (note that this does not make sense) When forming a compound of two words, -n must be added to the end of the first word if it ends in a vowel, or -en if it ends in a consonant. ===Genders=== The Piscean language includes three 'logical' grammatical genders. While in many languages, the genders do not often relate to biological gender of nouns, they do in Tauro-Piscean; therefore, most nouns are neuter, while creatures of the male sex are masculine and creatures of female sex are feminine. If one refers to a creature, but does not wish to distinguish sex, the neuter gender can be used as a substitute. Observe the following examples: *tet Sunnê - the sun (no sex, so neuter) *tet Mann - the person (no sex specified, so neuter) *sê Mann - the man (male, so masculine) *seo Mann - the woman (female, so feminine) The above example shows the importance the article plays in Piscean of distinguishing between sexes in a language where one noun fits all. ===Articles=== ====Definite articles==== [[Image:tpdefart.png]] ====Indefinite articles==== [[Image:tpindefart.png]] ====Demonstrative articles==== Tauro-Piscean makes a two-way distinction between the demonstratives, the proximal of which is formed by using the appropriate definite article plus the word 'heonan'. *Tet heonan Tŝramet - this page *Ikk red ten heonan Bok - I read this book The distal is formed using the appropriate definite article plus the word 'tonan'. *Tet tonan Tŝramet - that page *Ikk red ten tonan Bok - I read that book ===Singular and Plural=== There are several ways to form plural nouns in Tauro-Piscean: *Bok > Bokê (add –ê to nouns that end in a consonant) *Äto > Ätos (add –s to nouns that end in a vowel other than ê) *Sunnê > Sunnên (add –n to nouns that end in ê) ===Cases=== Tauro-Piscean implements five cases: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive and instrumental. ====Nominative case==== This case is used for the subject of the sentence (i.e. the noun doing the verb) and as a complement after: 'bean' ('to be'), 'weëtan' ('to become') and 'hatan' ('to be called'). *'''Tet Äto''' be niwê - the car is new *'''Tet Hund''' bit - the dog bites ====Accusative case==== This case is used for the direct object (i.e. the noun having the verb done to it/them) and after certain prepositions. *Ikkê bïĝ '''ten Äto''' - we buy the car *Ikk et '''ten Banánê''' - I eat the banana When there is no article with the noun, the noun itself must be inflected. To do so with a noun that ends in a consonant, add -en - or, if it is a proper noun, add -'en. If the noun or proper noun ends in a vowel, add -nen or -'nen respectively. *Infëmaksion - information *Ikk habb '''Infëmaksionen''' - I have information Note that when inflecting a plural noun, it must be made plural before it is inflected for the accusative (the same applies to the dative, genitive and instrumental cases). *Äto - car *Ätos - cars *Ikk mag '''Ätosen''' - I like cars The accusative case allows for flexible sentence structure that can place emphasis on a certain word by changing its location, yet retaining original meaning. For example: *Se Hund bit sen Mann - The dog bites the man *Sen Mann bit se Hund - The dog bites the man Both of the above Tauro-Piscean sentences have the same translation into English. On first glance, an English speaker might confuse the second example as 'the man bites the dog', although this is because the object comes before the subject. Because the word 'Mann' is preceded by the accusative article and 'Hund', by the nominative, those skilled in Tauro-Piscean can easily deduce the sentence's meaning. Meanwhile, the first example places emphasis on the subject, while the second places greater emphasis on the object. ====Dative case==== This case is used for the indirect object (i.e. the noun receiving or being given/sent/lent something) and after certain prepositions. This also translates the English word 'to' when it precedes a noun. *Ikk jef tenen '''sem Lerärê''' - I give it to the teacher The dative case is used when referring to travel: *Ikk fa '''tem Sköl''' - I go to the school To inflect a noun ending in a consonant when there is no article, add -em, or -'em for a proper noun. For a noun ending in a vowel, add -nem, or -'nem for a proper noun. *Ikk fa '''Lunden'em''' - I go to London ====Genitive case==== This case is used to denote possession or ownership. 'The man's car' translates literally as 'the car of the man', but with the genitive case translating 'of' (instead of a separate word). *Tet Äto ses Mann - the man's car (the car of the man) To inflect a noun ending in a consonant when there is no article, add -es, or -'es for a proper noun. For a noun ending in a vowel, add -nes, or -'nes for a proper noun. *Tet Rum Sean'es - Sean's room (the room of Sean) *Tet Abït Gaynor'es - Gaynor's job (the job of Gaynor) The case is also used as the genitive partitive. *An Stïkê Kïsênes - a piece of cheese *An Gruppê sis Mannê - a group of men ====Instrumental case==== The first use of the instrumental case is to replace words such as 'with' and 'by' in English in the context that they mean 'by means of' - in other words, to indicate that the noun in question is an 'instrument'. *Tet Bän - the train *Ikk fa bänum - I go (by) train *Ikk fa temum bän - I go (by) the train *Tet Kuli - the pen *Ikk rit kulinum - I write (with a) pen *Ikk rit temum kuli - I write (with) the pen Despite the rule in Tauro-Piscean that all nouns begin with a capital letter, when in the instrumental case, this capital is dropped. The second use of the instrumental case is to denote nationality. *Englas - England *Ikk zï englas'um - I am English (literally - 'I am by means of England') To inflect a noun ending in a consonant when there is no article, add -um, or -'um for a proper noun. For a noun ending in a vowel, add -num, or -'num for a proper noun. ==Adjectives== ===Adjective Endings=== In English, an adjective can appear in one of two different places in a sentence: *Separated from the noun it describes: the tree is '''small''' *Immediately before the noun it describes: the '''small''' tree The same phrases in Tauro-Piscean are: *Tet Tŝreë zï smalê - the tree is small *Tet smalên Tŝreë - the small tree Notice that when the adjective appears ammediately in front of the noun it describes, it must be inflected. The endings depend on whether the adjective's final letter is a vowel or a consonant. For one that describes a neuter noun, whose final letter is a vowel, add -n and for one whose final letter is a consonant, add -en. For one that describes a masculine noun, whose final letter is a vowel, add -het and for one whose final letter is a consonant, add -et. For one that describes a feminine noun, whose final letter is a vowel, add -heo and for one whose final letter is a consonant, add -eo. ===Possessive Adjectives=== Possessive adjectives are translated using genitive-derived variants of pronouns. In Tauro-Piscean, they always follow the noun. Additionally, the definite article is used. [[Image:Tpposadj.png]] *Tet Bok '''ikkes''' - my book *Tet Hus '''janes''' - your house ===Comparative and Superlative Adjectives=== ====Comparative adjectives==== One uses these to compare things, for example when you're saying something is smaller than something else. *smalê (small) > smalêjä (smaller) Whereas English sometimes uses 'more' and 'less' instead of '-er', Tauro-Piscean follows regular patterns. *intäressant - interesting *more .../...er > ...ä (more interesting > intäressant'''ä''') To say 'more ...', one simply adds -ä to an adjective that ends in a consonant, or -jä to an adjective that ends in a vowel. *intäressant > intäressantä (interesting > more interesting) To say 'less ...', one adds -ë to an adjective that ends in a consonat, or -jë to an adjective that ends in a vowel. *intäressant > intäressantë (interesting > less interesting) To say 'less/more interesting than ...', use 'tonnê' and the accusative case afterwards. *An Bok zï intäressantä '''tonnê anen''' Fiêlm - a book is more interesting than a film *An Bok zï intäressantë '''tonnê anen''' Fiêlm - a book is less interesting than a film ====Superlative adjectives==== Superlative adjectives are used to say something is the best, tallest, etc. *jod (good) > jodü (best) To say 'most ...', one adds -ü to an adjective that ends in a consonant, or -jü to an adjective that ends in a vowel. *intäressant > intäressantü (interesting > most interesting) To say 'least ...', one adds -uš to an adjective that ends in a consonant, or -š to an adjective that ends in a vowel. *intäressant > intäressantuš ====Comparative and superlative adjective endings==== As with normal adjectives, comparatives and superlatives must have an ending if they appear directly in front of a noun they are describing. *Tet Bok zï intäressantä - the book is more interesting *Tet '''intäressantän''' Bok - the more interesting book ==Adverbs== Adverbs describe or give more information about verbs. In Tauro-Piscean, they are the same as adjectives. *Tet Äto be sneêl - the car is quick *Tet Äto fa '''sneêl''' - the car goes quickly ==Pronouns== [[Image:Tppronoun.png]] ===Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns=== Like nouns, pronouns change according to the case. Here is the full ist of pronouns in the nominative, accusative and dative cases. [[Image:Tpdirobjprn.png]] *Ikk mag '''tenen''' nat - I don't like them *Te mag '''ikken''' nat - they don't like me *Ja send '''ikkem''' anen Jefu - you send [to] me a present *Ikk send '''janem''' anen Jefu - I send [to] you a present ===Relative Pronouns=== Relative clauses begin with relative pronouns: words that correspond to 'who', 'whom', 'that' and 'which' in English. These may be omitted in English, but must be included in Tauro-Piscean. A comma always precedes the relative pronoun, which is put into the correct gender depending on the noun it refers to (the same as the definite articles), and the correct case depending on its function in the clause. (In the following example, the relative pronoun is in the masculine accusative case because 'Manteêl' is masculine, and is a direct object of the verb 'to buy'; therefore, it is accusative.) *Te zï tet Manteêl, '''ten''' bïĝedê ikk jestŝran - that is the coat '''[that]''' I bought yesterday *Seo Hund, '''seon''' sedê ikk et endenesten Wiku - the bitch '''[that]''' I saw last week *Te be sê Mann, '''sem''' kwetedê ikk nemkvënen - he is the man '''to whom''' I said nothing ==Verbs== ===Moods and Tenses=== ====Infinitive mood==== Using the infinitive unchanged translates the word 'to' in addition to the verb. *Ikk mag '''plean''' - I like to play In their widely known form, Tauro-Piscean verbs end in -an, -ran, -ian, -rian, -wian or -jian. This needs to be changed according to grammatical mood and tense. There is no conjugation depending on grammatical person in the Tauro-Piscean language. ====Imperative mood==== Imperative verbs express direct commands, requests and prohibitions. The imperative is formed with an infinitive verb in conjunction with a VSO (verb-subject-object) word order. *Redan ten Bok - read the book *Skäwian ten heonan Tramet - see this page ====Indicative mood==== The indicative mood is the most common in the Piscean language, used for factual statements and positive beliefs. It is normally formed in the present simple tense by removing the infinitive ending. *Ikk red ten Bok - I read the book *Ja skä ten heonan Tramet - you observe this page The mood is compatible with other tenses, in which cases the infinitive must be altered differently. [[Image:Tpindic.png]] To form: '''Present simple''' - if the infinitive ending is -an, -ran, -rian, -wian or -jian, remove it. If it is -ian, change it to -ê '''Present continuous''' - remove the significant part of the infinitive ending (i.e. the -an or the -ian, but not the R, W or J that may come before those letters). Then, add -ong if the stem ends in a consonant, or -ng if it ends in a vowel. '''Present perfect''' - the word 'nef' must be placed before the variant verb, which is formed as in present simple, but with an additional T. '''Preterite''' - formed as in present continuous, but with -edê (after a consonant) and -dê (after a vowel) substitued for -ong and -ng respectively. '''Imperfect''' - formed as in present continuous, but with -ot (after a consonant) and -jot (after a vowel) substituted for -ong and -ng respectively. '''Past continuous''' - formed as in present perfect, but with the word 'wüz' in place of 'nef'. '''Pluperfect''' - formed as in imperfect, but with -ut and -jut substituted for -ot and -jot respectively; additionally, ge- must be prefixed onto the verb if it begins with a consonant, or g- if it begins with a vowel. '''Future''' - formed with the infinitve. The word 'will' must be placed before the verb. '''Future perfect''' - formed as in pluperfect, but with -in and -jin substituted for -ut and -jut respectively - and ez- substituted for both ge- and g-. ====Interrogative mood==== Verbs in inflected in this manner if they are used to ask questions. The interrogative mood not normally used with a noun or pronoun, but if context does not make this clear, a noun or pronoun can be included after the interrogative verb (VSO word order). *Habbest anen Kuli? - do you have a pen? [[Image:Tpinterro.png]] In every tense, the interrogative is formed as in the indicative, save for adding -est to the verb if its final letter is a consonant, or -st if its final letter is Ê and with the future being an exception to this rule. In the future, the word 'will' (modal verb 'willan') must be inflected by adding -est. Additionally, whichever verb is in question - in the case of the table 'faran' - is inverted to the end of the sentence. *Willest anen Kuli habban? - will you have a pen? ====Conditional mood==== The conditional mood is used to speak of an event whose realisation is dependent on a certain condition. *Ikk häb anen Kuli - I would have a pen [[Image:Tpcond.png]] The conditional present simple, present continuous and present perfect tenses are formed as in indicative, but with the first vowel in the verb taking an umlaut. If the stem of the verb ends in a double consonant (same letter), this must be reduced to just one. For example: *Ikk ha'''bb''' (indicative) > Ikk hä'''b''' (conditional) =====Ta===== The Tauro-Piscean word 'ta' can mean both 'if' and 'when'. It means 'when' when it is followed by a verb in the indicative mood. *'''Ta habb''' ikk jenün Feë - when I have enough money It means 'if' when it is followed by a verb in the conditional mood. *'''Ta häb''' ikk jenün Feë - if I have enough money ====Jussive mood==== The jussive mood in Tauro-Piscean is used to express plea, insistence, imploring, self-encouragement, wish and desire. *Se Hund wïêl bït - the dog should bite [[Image:Tpjuss.png]] It is formed in the same way as conditional, but with the word 'wïêl' before the verb in question, or before the word 'nef' if it is present. ====Dubitative mood==== The dubitative mood expresses the speaker's doubt, uncertainty or speculation about the event denoted by the verb. Tauro-Piscean implements two variants of the dubitative mood, one of which is known as 'presumptive' and the other as 'assumptive'. *Te bedog in California'nem - They must be in California (assumptive - what is perceived to be the probable event) *Te bëdog in California'nem - They might be in California (presumptive - what is perceived to be a possible event) [[Image:Tpdubitass.png]] The assumptive is formed similarly to the interrogative mood, but with the -dog suffix substituted for -est. [[Image:Tpdubitpres.png]] The presumptive is formed as the assumptive, but with an umlaut on the first vowel of the verb stem and 'wïêldog' instead of 'willdog' for the future. ===Modal Verbs=== Modal verbs give additional information about the mood of the main verb that follows it. *Mean - to be allowed to *Kunnan - to be able to *Magan - to like *Skölan - to have to *Zollan - to be supposed to *Wölan - to want to *Willan - will The other verb that is used with the modal is always in the infinitive form and at the end of a clause. *Ikk '''kunn''' tem Fotenpuffenspeêl '''faran''' - I can go to the football match *Ikk '''wöl''' tem Fotenpuffenspeêl '''faran''' - I want to go to the football match ===Reflexive Verbs=== These verbs refer to something that you are doing to yourself. Tauro-Piscean marks this using the accusative form of a pronoun (direct object pronoun) after the verb. *Ikk feëmê ikken - I wash myself *Ikk abíê ikken - I dress myself *Ja feëmê janen - you wash yourself *Tes abíê tesen - they wash themselves ===Negation=== ====Nat==== 'Nat' means 'not'. It comes immediately after the verb. *Ikk farong '''nat''' tem Fotenpuffenspeêl - I'm not going to the football match ====The negative articles==== 'Nat' is not the only way of saying 'not' in Tauro-Piscean. One cannot say 'nat an', but would say 'nan', 'nanê' or 'näno' instead. These words are inflected in the same way as the words 'an', 'anê' and 'äno' (but with the prefix -n). *Ikk habb '''nen''' Brotë - I don't have a brother *Te habb '''nanen''' Feë - they don't have any money ===To Be=== The Tauro-Piscean language has a loan feature from Spanish: two verbs that can both be translated into English as 'to be'. The first of these, 'bean', describes the '''condition''' of something. Observe: *Tet Epeêl be grenê - the apple is green (because it is unripe) This example speaks of the apple's condition. The apple is green, as it has not yet ripened. When the condition of the apple changes, it will no longer be green - it will be ripe. The second of the verbs, 'zïan', describes the '''essential characteristics''' of something. Observe: *Tet Epeêl zï grenê - the apple is green (by nature) In this case, the apple is green in colour and remains green even after it has ripened. Overall, 'bean' tells one '''how''' something is, whereas 'zijan' tells us '''what feature''' something has. *Ikk be metê - I am currently tired *Ikk zï metê - I am generally tired *Ikk be feên - I am currently happy *Ikk zï feên - I am generally happy *Te be ruï - they are being quiet *Zee zï ruï - they are introverted *Ikk be fus - I am ready *Ikk zï fus - I'm ready for anything/I'm a quick thinker Note that when an irreversible change has occurred, 'bean' is still used. *Hee bee däd - he is (currently) dead *Teet Äto bee abreotede - the car is (currently) destroyed While this instruction may seem to contradict previous rules, it has a reason: in the examples, the person cannot be 'generally dead' and the car can't be 'generally destroyed'. The objects are not necessarily supposed to be that way and, as such, the adjectives describe their conditions. Note that in these situations, 'zïan' is still sometimes used for idioms. For example: *Te zï däd - ''they are a dull and unresponsive person'' *Tet Äto zï abreotedê - ''the car is falling to pieces'' ==Prepositions== [[Image:Tppreps.png]] Prepositions, apart from 'foff', are either followed by the accusative case or the dative case. Usually, they will be found in conjunction with the dative case, which indicates that they refer to something that is stationary. *Ikk be '''in tem''' Rum - I am in the room (stationary) Sometimes, they will be found in conjunction with the accusative case, which indicates that they refer to something that is in motion. *Ikk fa '''in ten''' Rum - I go into the room (in motion) Notably, there are two prepositions that translate the English word 'in'. The Tauro-Piscean 'in' translates the physical sense, whereas 'foff' translates the dynamic sense. The word 'foff', unlike any other preposition, is accompanied by the nominative case. *Ni tonan Feë '''in''' tem Rum - there is money in the room (physical) *Ni tonan sumen Jod '''foff''' te - there is some good in them (dynamic) *Ikk zï jod foff Nundeê englas'um - I am good in [at] English (dynamic) *Ikk belef foff tet Jod - I believe in God (dynamic) By adding endings to a preposition - namely -à and -ù respectively where it ends in a consonant or -jà and -jù where it ends in a vowel - one can say 'x where' and 'x which', where x is the preposition. *... alïf Misfadungen arisan, '''framù''' spring Blodĝrïnk ... - ... allow disorder to arise, '''from which''' springs bloodshed ... *Kumest te, '''framà'''? - '''From where''' does it come? *Tet Feë '''tojù''' weëk tet Mann - the money '''for which''' the man works To say 'whose', one would use 'tonnêjù' *Sê Mann '''tonnêjù''' hat seo Mann tenes Jessica - the man '''whose''' wife is called Jessica ==Word Order== In many cases, Tauro-Piscean word order is identical to English. This is true for simple subject+verb+other elements sentences: 'Ikk se janen' ('I see you') or 'Te weëk et Hamem' ('They work at home'). This word order places the subject first, the verb second and any other elements third. *''Sê ölden Mann'' '''kum''' tode Hamem - the old man comes today home However, a sentence is often begun with something other than the subject, in which case the verb remains second and is immediately followed by the subject. *Tode '''kum''' ''sê ölden Mann'' Hamem - today comes the old man home ===Time, Manner, Place=== Another area where Tauro-Piscean syntax may vary from that of English is the position of time, manner and place. In English, one would say 'Eric is coming home on the train today', but in Tauro-Piscean, the time, manner, place pattern must be followed in exact order. *Eric kum tode bänum Hamem - Eric comes today on the train home When beginning the sentence with a different element, the elements that follow remain in the same order. *Bänum kum Eric tode Hamem (but emphasising 'by train' - as opposed to by car or by plane, etc.) In a clause that begins with an introductory word or phrase and after a dependent clause when it precedes the independent clause (where English may optionally use a comma; this comma is not used in Tauro-Piscean), the verb must follow said element and the subject must follow the verb. *Ikk wit nat, '''ta''' ''kum'' te tode - I don't know '''when''' ''come'' they today *'''Et Wintänem''' ''weët'' te köld - '''In winter,''' ''become'' they cold ==Voice== Tauro-Piscean has two voices: the active and the passive. The active form follows the basic SVO pattern, whereas the passive voice is derived by a shift of syntax (subject and object), while retaining relevant cases. Observe *Ikk se Bill - I see Bill *Bill se ikk - Bill is seen by me *Bill se ikken - Bill sees me *Ikken se Bill - I am seen by Bill *Sê Hund bit sen Mann - the dog bites the man *Sen Mann bit sê Hund - the man is bitten by the dog *Sê Mann bit sen Hund - the man bites the dog *Sen Hund bit sê Mann - the dog is bitten by the man Tauro-Piscean has another voice related to the middle voice, where in English, the patient becomes the subject, as in passive, but the verb remains in apparently active voice, no agent can plausibly be supplied, and generally, an adverbial modifies the entire construction. This voice is made using the dummy pronoun 'jo', which acts as a subject. *Jo fësle lïtä ten Bräd - the bread slices poorly ([dummy pronoun] slices the bread poorly) *Jo kep jod tenên Románê tenes - their books sell well ([dummy pronoun] sells their books well) Similarly, the dummy pronoun 'jo' (and the relevant tense) is also used when a clause is passive, but no subject is present. *Jo makedê ten Rodë - the sky was made ([dummy pronoun] made the sky) *Jo kep tenên Románê - the books are sold ([dummy pronoun] sells the books) ==Question Words== In Tauro-Piscean, question words are always the final element of a clause and set off by a comma. [[Image:Tpqwords.png]] There are two forms of 'what'. 'Wet' is an inquiry into an action (in relation to a verb): *Makêst, '''wet'''? - '''What''' do you make? *Etongest, '''wet'''? - '''What''' are you eating? 'Weêlk' is an inquiry into an object (in relation to a noun): *Best te Äto, '''weêlk'''? - '''What'''/'''which''' car is it? There are also two forms of 'how'. 'Hu' seeks an explanation: *Dodêst tenen, '''hu'''? - '''How''' did you do it? 'We' is used in relation to quantities: *Habbest mikeêl, '''we'''? - '''How''' much do you have? The difference between 'hu' and 'we' can be significant, as illustrated in these examples: *Habbest mikeêlen Feë, hu? - How do you have much money? *Habbest mikeêlen Feë, we? - How much money do you have? ==Numerals== In Tauro-Piscean numerals, the tens and units are reversed, such that 21 is rendered 'antwentï', i.e. one-twenty. A similar pattern occurs in hundreds, thousands, millions, etc. For large numbers, the long scale is used, e.g. one short-scale billion is a milliard. The thousands separator is an apostrophe, while the decimal separator is a comma. [[Image:Tpnums.png]] Numbers are read in reverse order compared to in English, as can be witnessed in the above examples. Notably, the thousands separator is rendered in speech and in writing as 'plo', which means 'plus'. The decimal separator is rendered as 'pre'. *5,2 - fifpretwa (five point two) Ordinal numbers are formed from the cardinals by suffixing '-dê'. *Andê - first *twentïdê - twentieth *tŝrefiftïhundfifplotusendtŝrefiftïdê - fifty-three thousand, five hundred and fifty-third As a number, ordinals can be made also by adding '-dê', e.g. 1st = 1dê and 20th = 20dê In formal writing (unless in headlines and reports heavy on statistics), numerals are always preferable to short-hand numbers, so one would be more likely to see ... *Milliotwa Mannê faredê tem Reŝtríkidärênkeosung - two million people went to the election than ... *2'000'000 Mannê faredê tem Reŝtríkidärênkeosung - 2,000,000 people went to the election Only the numeral 'an' (the indefinite article) is inflected. Following any other number, it is the nouns themselves that must be inflected. For example: *Ikk habb '''anen Hund''' - I have a dog *Ikk habb '''twa Hudênen''' - I have two dogs To emphasise that 'an' refers to 'one' rather than the indefinite article, one can inflect the noun in a similar manner. *Ikk habb '''an Hunden''' - I have one dog [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:A posteriori conlangs]] [[Category:Germanic conlangs]] ==Punctuation== ===Full Stop; Semicolon; Colon; Question Mark; Exclamation Mark=== Tauro-Piscean use of full stops, semicolons, colons, question marks and exclamation marks does not differ from English - nor, indeed, many other languages. Preceding the aforementioned punctuation, there is no space and following, there is a single em space. Capital letters are used after full stops, question marks and exclamation marks, but not after colons and semicolons. ===Quotation Marks=== Primarily, Tauro-Piscean implements guillemets to indicate a quotation. The left guillemet is preceded by a space, but not followed, and the right guillemet is followed by a space, but not preceded. For example: *«Te heonan zï an Zitat.» - 'This is a quote.' Quotations within quotations are set off by double inverted commas. For example: *Ikk smä„ dass kwetedê te: «Sê Mann kwetedê: "Ikk habb jenün Feë".» - I think that they said, 'The man said, "I have enough money".' A quotation introduced part-way through a sentence is preceded by a colon. The Tauro-Piscean convention, as is that of British English, is to place punctuation either in or outside of the quotation marks in accordance with whether or not the punctuation is part of the quoted phrase. For a quotation consisting of several paragraphs, the convention is to start each separate paragraph of the quoted text with an opening quotation mark, but to use a closing quotation mark only at the end of the last paragraph. ===Commas=== Following influence from the [[Dal'qörian|Dalcurian language]], Tauro-Piscean has since made use of two types of comma: single and double. This often helps to resolve ambiguity, notably in the arguments for and against serial commas. ====Single comma==== The single comma (,) is used in the following instances: *To separate two independent clauses that are joined by a co-ordinating conjunction. *To separate co-ordinate adjectives. *To separate items in lists and as a serial comma. *As the decimal point. *To indicate that a word has been omitted. ====Double comma==== The double comma („) is used in the following instances: *To set off parenthetical phrases. *Before a subordinating conjunction. *When writing names that are presented last name first. *When writing the full date. *To set off individual elements in names of geographical places or political divisions. Note that, in Unicode, the symbol used by Tauro-Piscean for the double comma is the 'double low-9 quotation mark'.

From an historical perspective, there are five main ethnic divisions, descended from 5 settlements established by the first humans to arrive on Galhaf. These groups have since divided into a number of subraces, and intermixing has occurred among them, particularly among the four [[Odira]]n groups. == Odiran Races == === Northwestern === The Northwestern group includes the [[Kasshi]]. Northwesterners tend to be short (averaging 5'3 for men, 5'0 for women). They have sparse body hair, red or strawberry-blond hair. Eyes commonly have a single fold ("Asian"-like), with green being a common color. Skin tone is generally medium-dark. === Southwestern === Southwesterners (which include the [[Sanle]]) are very dark. Hair color ranges from blonde to brunet. Eye color is generally brown. Body hair is sparse, though men commonly have moderate facial hair. Height is variable among different groups, with the shortest averaging a little taller than the Northwesterners (c. 5'5 for men, 5'2 for women), and the tallest approaching 6'0" for men and 5'10" for women. === Central === === Eastern === == Krayan Races == Krayans are light-skinned, some to the point of Earth's Scandinavians. Eye color is frequently blue. Hair color tends to be blond or light brown. They are usually fairly hirsute.

People know the language as they have spoken to spirit guides and shamans who are from this time. Psychic Medium [[Ashanti Barorem]] used the help of her spirit guide Bixam to decipher the language and bring it back. There it the National Ashamaic Society in Brooklyn, founded by Ashanti in 1898. The Ashamis were a very primitive people, however they had democracy, taxes, a heirachical structure and alcohol. See [[Ashami (race)]] for more details and see [[Axandu Travelguide]] for those who wish to travel back in time . ==First of all. The Ashamaic Alphabet. == The alphabet was the basis of alphabets like Greek, Latin and Hebrew, which some people wandering picked up and sounds spread throught the world.

It wasn't in any way a densly populatred land, it was mainly a dry and barren land, used for farming. There was a heirarchical structure, with a Royal Family. It was discovered by [[Ashanti Barorem]] on an Out of Body experience, since then, she takes most of her students there to learn the Official Language. ==Regions== * Timani - The Larges area, all desert, used only by travelers. * Xashan - The Capital, a large city containing most of the population, there was a marketand lots of farmland. * Kaman - The southern most city, very hot land, though quite fertile. * Tizimda - a city to the west, where about 4 people lived ==Understand== The official, and indeed, only language, is [[Ashamaic]], a little must be learned. ===History=== Axandu Is mostly history in itself. There was a civil war in approximately 9,761 bc, caused by the King of the time, Spini, dissallowing travel through Timani, causing food lines to be broken. This caused an uproar, as people in Xashan relied heavily on supplies from Kaman, which was the more fertile land. Kaman were fist to rebel, after knowing that their inability to travel the plains would heavily effect the people of Xashan. ==Get in== There is only one way. Astral projection. Then ask to go to Ancient Axandu. ==Main dangers== Megatherium. Prehistoric bear like creatures, very big, and very touchy. ==Stay healthy== Avoid drinking water from the estuaries, watch where locals drink from, they know. ==Respect== * The country's people are very devout Koridalavs, two extremely offensive things are exposing yourself to the sun, wether intentional or not. and spitting, as it is seen as insulting the rains efforts, which may make the god of rain not bother. ===Touchy Topics=== * The state of someones land * Religion * Talk of the Royal Family. ===Visiting Sacred Ground=== * Do not sight-see during prayers * Dress appropriately (no uncovered shoulders or thighs) * Do not step into the sacred circle. Not even The King or Priests are allowed. * Although there is a make-shift font, at the sites, the water is not for drinking or crossing yourself, it is to ward of evil and touching the water either implies you are evil, or you break the barrier. ===Uncommon Customs=== * Waving to people is as bad as sticking one's middle finger up. It means 'i am trying to block you form my sight.' * at least some basic language should be learned, trying to shout or attract attention in a another language will lead to the impression of insanity, seeing as these people have no idea foreigners and other languages exist. * Don't Write. it will change the course of time if these people were to discover it before the egyptians. ==Cope== * Common Currency is Food and Livestock, and is mainly only used in mortgaging. ===Toilets=== Bushes are widely available.

To compensate for the loss of agreement between subject and verb, the VSO and AVSO word order shifted to SVO, making the meaning much clearer. *More is on its way. ==Mutations== To form plurals in the proto-language, the adjective *be, meaning many, was added immediately following the noun in question. This language, similarly to the majority of the daughter languages cemented this to the end of nouns, eventually turning it into an affix -b. This caused lenition on adjectives following plural nouns. Essentially, /p t k/ > /b d g/ > /v z ɣ/, /f θ s x/ > /v ð z G/ > [ʋ r_d r M\], /n m/ > /m m/. Other consonants didn't change. Now here's where it gets really, really weird. Since the unusual endings differentiated the noun from singular, the plural marker was dropped when an adjective followed. The result is wonderful delicious ambiguity: bel - tree belb - trees bel lizOm - garnished tree belb lizOm - garnished tree bel vOx - pretty tree OR paper trees ==Example Derivation== Protolang: /ɑziɑ mid efdi tiʦ ɭeθ/ [ɑZI6 mid evdI tis: ɭeθ] PAST.1P build 1P.SING.NOM home this Unnamed Daughterlang: /ɛf mid lɛt ti lɛ/ [ɛf mit lɛt ti lɛ] 1P.SING.NOM build PAST home this Faraneit: /midɔʒiav tis ɭeθ/ [midɔʒjav tis ɭeð] build.PAST.REAL.1P.SING home this I built this house.

[[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] Strish is a streamlined yet feasible conlang. The intent is to have a phonology, morphology, and syntax that minimizes the time to produce meaningful utterances, while at the same time not being so compact that it prevents normal persons from using it. Some earlier attempts at a streamlined conlang include Speedtalk, which required such fine distinctions that only a trained phonologist could use it. It was not even described well enough for anyone to learn. It is likely to have been completely fabricated. At the other end of the spectrum are some modest attempts to abbreviate every word. Making almost every root monosyllabic can certainly help, but there are further refinements one can make to a grammar that will help streamlinedness. In Strish, most roots are not even syllables. They are initial consonants and consonant clusters. Trained runners know that if you want to maximize speed, you have to minimize friction. The way you do that is to make your strides as long as possible, because every time your foot hits the ground, you slow down. In the same way Strish has some complex consonant clusters to maximize the number of words in the fewest possible syllables. The grammar is highly synthetic, so a single word with many affixes can convey a complex meaning. Strish is subject to change, but it will follow a schedule to keep it somewhat stable. Its alpha release will occur when it has 400 roots, complete morphologies for major lexical categories, and a complete syntax for simple, compound, and complex sentences. Its beta release will occur four months later and will include adjusts for clarity, feasibility, and of course streamlinedness. Four months after that it will have its official release. After that it will be subject to changes once every six months. At least half of the changes must involve increases to streamlinedness. *[[Strish Phonology]] *[[Strish Morphology]] *[[Strish Syntax]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Strish Phonology 4586 27393 2007-12-10T17:05:53Z Guido 580 For its alpha release Strish orthography will be a variant of ASCII IPA. Here is the phonemic inventory for Strish: Vowels * /i/ - like "ee" in "see" * /I/ - like "i" in "it" * /e/ - like "ay" in "say" (without gliding towards the final /i/ sound) * /E/ - like "e" in "bet" * /a/ - like "a" in "father" * /A/ - like "a" in "cat" * /o/ - like "o" in "phone" (without gliding towards the final /u/ sound) * /O/ - like "au" in "caught" * /u/ - like "oo" in "food" * /U/ - like "oo" in "cook" * /@/ - like "u" in "cup" * /y/ - rounded /i/ * /R/ - like "ur" in "hurt"; rhotic The tense vowels /i/, /e/, /a/, /o/, /u/, /y/, /R/ can all be parts of diphthongs. Not every combination of tense vowels forms a valid diphthong, but there are still too many valid combinations to comfortably try to list here. Consonants * /p/ - like "p" in "put" * /b/ - like "b" in "but" * /f/ - like "f" in "foot" * /v/ - like "v" in "vase" * /m/ - like "m" in "mom" * /t/ - like "t" in "top" * /d/ - like "d" in "dot" * /n/ - like "n" in "no" * /s/ - like "s" in "sing" * /z/ - like "z" in "zoo" * /c/ - like "sh" in "shoe" * /j/ - like "s" in "pleasure" * /l/ - like "l" in "lap" * /r/ - trilled r * /k/ - like "k" in "keep" * /g/ - like "g" in "go" * /x/ - like "ch" in German "ach" * /'/ - glottal stop Strish Morphology 4587 27396 2007-12-10T17:13:31Z Guido 580 Major lexical categories include nouns and verbs. Pronouns * b - first person * d - second person * g - third person Nouns Number: singular, distributive plural, collective plural Case: general, dative, allative, ablative, instrumental, comitative, comparative * @ - general * a - dative * e - allative * i - ablative * o - instrumental * u - comitative * R - comparative Conlang comparison 4588 58108 2010-11-28T16:44:51Z Pet1 1431 /* Conlang comparison table */ Because ''a posteriori'' languages borrow vocabulary from real spoken languages, it is often found that conlangs of this type relate to one another.

Pisceesumsprecan 729 /* Beginning of the Gallifreyan language */ [[Image:Wasporella.jpg|thumb]] ''Wasporella'', the abandoned the novel of Anderson and friend Dearden, is the first example of Anderson's conlang Piscean and has survived to this day. Associated with it are several drawn pictures featuring early Old Piscean (then called Gallifreyan) text. ==Synopsis== It is difficult to comprehend how far the novel was completed because it never had a finalised plot and often involved 'making it up as one went'. Generally, it follows the capers of Sean, a human teenager abducted from Earth in order to revive the Doctor (who has depleted all twelve Time Lord regenerations), associate Nick and Chronotis, alongside several villains. Chronotis' plot included capturing Sean using the new Doctor's phobia as an advantage: wasps. The formulated contagious disease Wasporella most prominently infected wasps, altering their DNA in order to make them enormous killing machines, while it was engineered to mutate in the bodies of various other animals, distributing the disease farther and causing often comical conditions: ''Further down, a man was feeding mammoth sturgeons fresh, top-quality salad, the same type that Nick had on the side of his plate with his pizza. Suddenly, the sturgeon went crazy and began to swim in super-fast circles around its tank, eating its fry and a couple of rays, and smashing the glass with its sharp nose. The water gushed out everywhere and the sturgeon flipped and squirmed about in it, hopelessly yearning to travel further. It was infected with Wasporella… but how? ... The man that fed the fish assisted Sean and Nick with finding a spider and a few ants. They put them together in a plastic container. The spider sat still and the ants went off to the other side of the container. Then, the man cut off a microscopic piece of salad and painted it with black food colouring so it looked like a fly. They put the ‘fly’ on the end of a bit of fishing line and dangled it into the container. After the spider took it, it scurried around its prison like the sturgeon swam round its tank. It then jumped onto the ants and ate them, afterwards attempting to get out but to no avail ...'' ==Beginning of the Gallifreyan language== At the centre of the plot in several chapters were the alien Festarans, who had, according Wasporella, adored the planet Earth - especially the Britons. This would explain why early Old Piscean is influenced by western European languages (mostly English) and explain its resemblence to a creole. In the eighth chapter of ''Wasporella'', it is stated, 'The rest of Skaro was forced to learn English because this was the language the Festarans spoke in,' revealing that it was originally intended the Festarans should speak English. Piscean is first witnessed, as Gallifreyen [sic], in the tenth chapter of the novel, when Sean's shuttle lands in Gallifrey and the pilot gives details in the two primary languages of the universe of ''Wasporella'', English and Gallifreyan. The following excerpt is thus like a Rosetta Stone for the early Old Piscean dialect: ''The pilot said into his microphone, ‘We have successfully landed at East Boundary Airport in Gallifrey, Council of Time, 1.33 p.m. It is quite cloudy and the temperature is 13˚C. We hope you have enjoyed your flight, thank you. ''‘Voost neeЋ harbor’ored ne EЋ Lin’ex Harbor’ore ne G’ow’lufrën, Göv’air’nëä foЋ Spannakën, tiäm’ine: XIII:IV;IV. Nee rark ûbr’ow’t nes ëät’ine: XIII. A’ow’l’air’s drekkën Y’ow’l’air’s winfanëä, gibs’y’ow’l.''' Incidentally, the early Old Piscean extract contains several words that have survived - in their original meanings - to the Tauro-Piscean language of today. Compare this modern Piscean translation: 'Voost neef eet Ästem Linexx Harbortschinfleoj eet Gowlúfren, Govájrneje Timenes, landt. Tiamíne 13-33. Nee gans wolcij nes eatíne 13˚. Owlájrs dreccen, dass teet Winfanéje ûbrótede. Tancee.' It is, however, now more flavoured by influences that have been absorbed since the conlang's earliest form. Note also the interesting example of semantic drift between the two dialects in question. In the early Old Piscean extract, 'ûbr’ow’t', which means 'cloudy' (from the adjective 'ûb' - 'bland') does not correspond to 'ûbrótede' in the modern Piscean text, which means 'to seem the opposite of bland to one' (yet also from the early Old Piscean adjective 'ûb').

On first hearing Halcarnian, one could be forgiven for describing it as another language. However, Halcarnian shares over 90 percent Dalcurian vocabulary, and in formal conditions adheres to the same prepositional phrase word order rule as standard Dalcurian.<br/>Some gramatarians argue that dialects are in fact languages unto themselves. I however, feel that, if a 2 forms of the same language are mutualy intelligeable (''albiet with a little training''), then they are in fact 'dialects'. Having lived in Dalcuria for over 10 years, and actually in Halcarnia itself for 4 years, I feel that Halcarnian IS merely a dialect. I have had many a conversation with people from central Dalcuria-they speaking SD (''Standard Dalcurian'') and me speaking ED (''Eastern Dalcurian/Halcarnian'') with very little effort to be understood. It's akin to the way in which '''Finish''' and '''Estonian''', or '''High German''' and '''Austrian''' are mutually intelligeable. For me, what causes the argument is that, Halcarnian, unlike many 'true' dialects, has its own grammar and written standard.<br/>I come from the north east of England, so I have a 'northern' accent-or a ''Geordie'' accent as it's commonly known. I class my everyday speak as a 'northern dialect'. I can still be understood anywhere in England, but 'Geordie' doesn't have a written form. For example, I might say to my pals: * '''"D'ye's fancy ganin oot f'ra bevvie the neet like?"'''<br/>(lit: ''Do you's [you all] fancy [like the idea of] going out for a bevvie [pint/drink] tonight'') Of course, if I was sending an email or maybe a text, then I wouldn't write it like that, I would write it in standard English.

Only stressed syllables have tone; unstressed syllables are pronounced with pitches determined by surrounding tones. Sentence intonation modifies the pronunciation of tones, making the falling tone high level, for instance. A word may have more than one toned syllable, e.g. ''fìxteynzàyhatvà'' "sixty-eight". Minimal pairs are ''sá'' "you" and ''sā'' (interrogative particle); and ''kézd'' "time" and ''kèzd'' "tool". ''Sá onjō sā kézd ī xtá jè? Háx, mó xanztè kézdkèzd.'' "Do you know what time it is? No, I'll ask the clock." A minimal pair that can easily be confused is ''háyx'' "zero", related to ''háx'', and ''hàyx'' "four". To avoid this, Azarians often say ''máx'' "nothing, nobody" for ''háyx''. ==Alphabet== Azarian has the same alphabet as [[Malwinish]], except for letters representing sounds not found in both languages. {| | Transliteration || Sound || Notes |- | k || k |- | o || o |- | s || s || Usually a dental sibilant, but the dental and alveolar sibilants are allophones. |- | j || ʒ |- | z || z |- | h || h || Initial ''hi'' is voiceless ''i'', unless followed by a vowel, in which case a diphthong results. |- | v || v |- | b || b || The letter for ''v'' originally represented ''b'', and that for ''b'' is a modification of it. |- | a || a |- | g || g |- | e || e || Pronounced as either ɛ or ə. |- | x || ʃ |- | t || t |- | i || i |- | f || f |- | m || m |- | p || p |- | d || d |- | y || j || Diacritic indicating palatalization of s, z, x, and j, and diphthong with o, a, and e. |- | n || ◌̃ || Diacritic indicating a nasal vowel. |} The falling (high) tone is written as an accent above the vowel, and the rising (low) tone as an accent below, when they are written. The mid tone is not written in the Azarian alphabet. Some words, such as ''yhatvà'', begin with ''y'' or ''n''. This is not pronounced, and in Azarian writing is not written, unless the previous word ends with a letter that can take the diacritic. ''n'' and ''y'' commute. ==Numbers== {| | Azarian || English |- | háyx, máx || zero |- | tan || one |- | và || two |- | háov || three |- | hàyx || four |- | xayf || five |- | fìxte || six |- | jáyn || seven |- | yhatvà || eight |- | ki, kays (archaic) || nine |- | káyn || ten |- | káyn tan || eleven |- | vàynzà || twenty |- | háovzà || thirty |- | hìzà || forty |- | xāyfzà || fifty |- | fìxteynzà || sixty |- | jáynzà || seventy |- | yhatvàynzà || eighty |- | kīzà || ninety |- | kèsfayn || hundred |} Šokazan 4622 27811 2007-12-29T13:03:34Z Brel 775 {{Workinprogress}} {{Infobox|name=Šokazan<br>''Teinzenzā Raišen'', ''Mei Teinzenzā''|pronounce=ˌʃokaˈzan|tu=[[Čenzai]]|species=Near-human|in=[[Šokaza]]|no=c. 3 million|script=[[Šokazan syllabary]]/[[Script of Gimerī]]|tree=[[Valley Language Family]]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Forest Languages]]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Šokazan'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Dīzzen]]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Langaran]]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Teryat (languages)|Teryat]]<br>|morph=Fusional|ms=Ergative (split-S)|wo=SVO|creator=[[User:Brel|Brel]]|date=2001}} '''Šokazan''' was the language spoken by the inhabitants of the country of [[Šokaza]]. It was a predominately fusional language, though it gained more isolating elements over time. Šokazan had an SVO word order and was a split-S language. ==Name== "Šokazan" is of course an Anglicism, based on the final name of the land in which it was spoken, Šokaza. The language's real name was ''Teinzenzā Raišen'', "Language of All", or merely ''Mei Teinzenzā'', "The Language". The [[Šokazans]] used such general terms because they believed their tongue to be the archetype of all human languages. All others were either pale imitations or debasements of it. The Šokazans did give [[Peliumeryum (language)|Peliumeryum]] considerably more respect, but always found their own tongue ultimately superior. ==Related Languages== Šokazan was a member of the [[Valley Language Family]], so called because its speakers tended to live in forested valleys among the mountains, or in the low-lying areas right next to the sea (which to the Šokazans was a wall against further habitation, and thus viewed as a mountain in this regard). The "barbarians" to the south and west of Šokaza, who still lived in the same places from which the Šokazans had migrated centuries before, of course spoke languages of this family also. They were, however, never written down before the disastrous [[Great Tumult]], so knowledge of them is scant. The [[Teryat]] [[Teryat (languages)|languages]] were also related to Šokazan, and some of these were studied and written down by Šokazan linguists, who of course used them as opportunities to show that other languages were mere imitations of their own. ==Daughter Languages== The Great Tumult brought about the end of the Šokazan language and civilization. The few survivors on the mainland either assimilated into the tribes to the south and west of their former country (people whom only shortly before they had discounted as "barbarians") or managed to find other Šokazans and found tiny city-states. One of these city-states, [[Okuðai]], managed to grow strong and reunify most of the others; its people spoke a language called [[Dīzzen]], which they considered to be the purest form of Šokazan in the "[[Dim Days]]" (as they called them). The other city-states had their own languages, each a daughter of Šokazan, but they had few scribes among them, and wrote down little. The other main daughter language was [[Langaran]]. Though its speakers had spoken very dialectal Šokazan while their mother country stood, they best preserved the language after the Great Tumult because [[Langara]] still had most of the realm's ancient records, which were lost to everyone else. Even so, Langaran itself underwent no fewer changes after the Tumult than its relatives on the mainland did. But among the noblest and those in the highest echelons of the priesthood, Šokazan was itself preserved and used in rituals and other formal occasions. ==History== Šokazan became differentiated from the other languages of the Valley Family when the ancestors of the Šokazans migrated, probably due to a population increase that caused them to look for a place that could yield more food, from the inland forests to a rich land between the mountains and the sea. The original inhabitants were either destroyed, fled with those Šokazans not willing to stay in the new land (who continued migrating and were the progenitors of the [[Teryat]]), or were assimilated into the Šokazan people. The Šokazans devised their own writing system at this time, the [[Šokazan syllabary]], and with it came the first attestations of [[Old Šokazan]]. The next three and a half centuries were mostly uneventful for Šokazan, but with the invention of large ships, its speakers were able to reach new lands about 220 years after the founding of their nation. One of the places they found was [[Peliumeryum (nation)|Peliumeryum]], a nation which was to have a large part in Šokaza's history, as well as that of its language. The [[Peliumeryum (people)|Peliumeryum]] were far more advanced than the Šokazans, and profited from trading with them enough to be willing to teach them some of their knowledge. In the three hundred fifty second year from the beginning of Šokaza, the Honorable [[Gimerī]], who had already learned all that Šokazan schools had to offer about his native language, traveled to Peliumeryum to learn theirs. When he returned nearly two decades later, he brought extensive writings and a proposal to the King with him: an offer to completely reform Šokaza's writing system. He, along with many other scribes employed by the aristocracy, argued that the current syllabary was inadequate for the needs of the language, especially since it had changed so much from the time when it was devised. With the things he had learned, Gimerī said, he could make a far better writing system for his people. The King agreed, and over the years the [[script of Gimerī]] replaced the old system. It continued to be utilized until Šokaza's end, and variants of it were used by the [[Langarans]] and [[Okuðaians]] later. Contact with the Peliumeryum of course also led to a phenomenon which altered the Šokazan language greatly: loanwords. Some more conservative linguists (and common people) objected to the importing of Peliumeryum words, but it was an ineluctable process. By the time of Šokaza's fall some twenty percent or more of its words came directly from Peliumeryum. The new script of Gimerī, combined with the sudden influx of Peliumeryum words, was the landmark that divided [[Middle Šokazan]] from Old Šokazan. Several more centuries went by, in which many sound and semantic changes that obscured Gimerī's finely detailed script took place. As tension mounted between the erstwhile allies of Šokaza and and Peliumeryum, loanwords came to be seen as despicable, and many were replaced by "authentic" Šokazan forms. When the colony of [[Čaikaza]] was founded, its people devised new words to describe natural features not found in their motherland, but these did not generally make their way into the language as a whole. Soon after the eight hundredth year from Šokaza's founding, a massive natural disaster, graven in the memory of its survivors with the name ''Great Tumult'', took place, in which the Šokazan civilization was utterly destroyed and few of its people even survived. This catastrophic downfall was considered to be the end of [[Classical Šokazan]] as such, but the language did not fully die out: it was survived by its direct descendants Dīzzen and Langaran, among others. And after the old records of the Šokazan kingdom were rediscovered and uncoded in Langara, Šokazan itself was revived for formal purposes. ==Dialects== The form of Šokazan described in this article is the Classical Šokazan of [[Tłončečī]], the capital city, and its vicinity. The major cities of Šokaza each had their own dialect, but rural areas were less divergent. Records tell us of four major rural dialects, each covering a broad swath of the country: the [[Southwestern Šokazan|Southwestern]], [[Northeastern Šokazan|Northeastern]], [[Central Šokazan|Central]], and [[Čaikazan]] forms of Šokazan. Southwestern and Northeastern can be seen as occupying two extremes on a continuum of differing linguistic features, while Central was at a point halfway between them (though it possessed unique aspects of its own). Čaikazan was the dialect that was spoken in Čaikaza, and was thus the direct ancestor to Langaran. ==Phonology== ===Phoneme Inventory=== Šokazan had 42 phonemes: 14 vowels and 28 consonants. Some of these are not found in English or other Indo-European languages, though several are present in Native American languages. ====Vowels==== <div style="text-align: center; margin-left:75px;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Šokazan Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| '''Front''' ||colspan=2| &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Near-front''' ||colspan=2| &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Central''' ||colspan=2| &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Back''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''High''' || || {{IPA|i}} || || || || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''High-mid''' || || || {{IPA|e}} || || || || || {{IPA|o}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Low''' || || || || {{IPA|a}} || || || || {{IPA|ɒ}} |} </div> As can be seen, Šokazan had a very symmetrical vowel system: three unrounded front vowels balanced by three rounded back vowels at the same heights; /ɒ/, however, was not as fully rounded as the other two back vowels. There were also long versions of each of the following vowels: /iː/, /uː/, /aː/, /ɒː/. For the lengthened forms of /e/ and /o/ see below. Šokazan also had a few diphthongs: /eɪ̯/, /oʊ̯/, /aɪ̯/, /ɒʊ̯/. /eɪ̯/ and /oʊ̯/ were considered to be the long forms of /e/ and /o/, respectively; but since they were not pure monophthongs I have included them here, and transcribe them differently from the other long vowels. All diphthongs were falling diphthongs, with the stress on the first vowel. /i/ and /u/ were pronounced as in English, while /e/ and /o/ had the same pronunciation as their counterparts in Spanish: they were pure vowels, not glides as in English—indeed, such pronunciation would greatly confuse a Šokazan, whose language did contain phonemic high-mid glides. /a/ was more fronted than its English counterpart, to allow for maximum contrast with /ɒ/. /ɒ/ is a rather unusual vowel for English speakers; it can be produced well enough by rounding the lips when saying "ahhh". The Šokazan vowel was produced further back in the mouth than our /a/ generally is, however. The four lengthened monophthongs, /iː/, /uː/, /aː/, /ɒː/, were pronounced the same as their short versions but held for twice the amount of time as them. The long and short forms of these vowels were thus distinguished only be quantity, not quality. The lengthened versions of /e/ and /o/, however, were realized as in English ''paid'' and ''mowed'', respectively—these were actually glides (and are found in English), and differed in both quality and quantity from the short vowels. The diphthong /aɪ̯/ was pronounced like English ''eye'', but /ɒʊ̯/ does not correspond directly to any sound in English. It is most similar to the diphthong in ''loud'', but the first part is pronounced farther back in the mouth with the lips rounded. ====Consonants==== <div style="text-align: center; margin-left:75px;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Šokazan Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| '''Bilabial''' ||colspan=2| &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Labiodental''' ||colspan=2| &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Alveolar''' ||colspan=2| &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Post-alveolar''' ||colspan=2| &nbsp;&nbsp;'''Velar''' |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Nasal''' || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || {{IPA|n}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Plosive''' || {{IPA|p}} {{IPA|b}} || || || || || {{IPA|t}} {{IPA|d}} || || || || {{IPA|k}} {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Fricative''' || || || || {{IPA|f}} {{IPA|v}} || || {{IPA|s}} {{IPA|z}} || {{IPA|ʃ}} {{IPA|ʒ}} || || || {{IPA|x}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Trill''' || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Lateral''' || || || || || || {{IPA|ɬ}} {{IPA|l}} |} </div> Šokazan had many of the consonants found in English, but it lacked the velar nasal and possessed only one approximant, the lateral. The alveolar lateral fricative, /ɬ/, was also found in Šokazan. Most of Šokazan's consonants were pronounced very closely to how they are in English, but /b/, /d/, /g/ were fully voiced, and the voiceless stops had less aspiration at the beginnings of words than they did in English. They were released more strongly at the ends of words than in English, however. /x/ was a voiceless velar fricative, similar to the sound in Scottish ''Loch''. /ɬ/ was the voiceless lateral fricative, pronounced by positioning the tongue similar to when pronouncing the ''l'' sound and then forcing air through the mouth so as to make an audible hissing sound. /l/ was seen by the Šokazans as the voiced counterpart to /ɬ/, but it was actually an approximant, not a voiced lateral fricative. /l/ was thus pronounced much as in English, but was never dark in syllable codas. /r/ was generally a trill, as in Spanish <rr>. In some dialects it was a flap or even a retroflex approximant, however. Šokazan contained several affricates; because there were so many in the language, they are given in a separate table below: <div style="text-align: center; margin-left:75px;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Affricates |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Bilabial''' || {{IPA|pf}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Bilabial-alveolar''' || {{IPA|ps}}{{footnote|1}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Alveolar''' || {{IPA|ts}} {{IPA|dz}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Lateral''' || {{IPA|tł}} {{IPA|dl}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Velar''' || {{IPA|kx}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: x-small;"| '''Velar-alveolar''' || {{IPA|ks}}{{footnote|1}} |} </div> <div style="font-size:x-small">{{footnote|1}}/ps/ and /ks/ were ''heterorganic affricates''; that is, the stop and the fricative into which it released were at very different places of articulation. They were considered affricates because they were subject to the same phonological rules as other Šokazan affricates, and because they could be distinguished in sound from clusters of the same consonants by the Šokazans: after the release of the stop, the fricative reached full volume much faster in the affricates /ps/ and /ks/ than in the combinations /p/ + /s/ and /k/ + /s/. Technically speaking, /pf/ is also a heterorganic affricate, occurring at the bilabial and labiodental places of articulation. I do not call it that here because these two places are very close to each other, and because in many dialects of Šokazan, /pf/ was realized as [pϕ] (fully bilabial) or [p̪f] (fully labiodental). In the speech of Tłončečī, however, the most common pronunciation was [pf], and so I list it here thus.</div> The pronunciation of affricates merely involves saying the stops and the fricatives described above, but care must be taken to pronounce them quickly, as one sound. In Šokazan, affricates could be, and were, distinguished from stop-fricative clusters by the speed of articulation. /dl/ is rather unusual in that it appears not to have been released into a fricative, but rather an approximant; but it was often realized as [dɮ]. /ɮ/, the voiced lateral fricative, has not been found to contrast with /dɮ/ in any language, and Šokazan does in fact preserve this distinction, since it has /l/ instead of /ɮ/. I write <<nowiki>dl</nowiki>> in order to connect the affricate with /d/ and /l/, but [ɮ] was the typical realization of the fricative release. ===Romanization=== The following table shows the Romanization scheme I have used for Šokazan. <div style="text-align: center; margin-left:75px;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Romanization of Šokazan Phonemes |- style="margin-left: 50px; background: #f9f9f9; font-size:x-small; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 !

It features: *four noun cases (ergative, nominative, accusative, dative) for the main verb arguments, plus other cases such as locative and genitive *double case, when a noun is an argument of two verbs *agreement of case marking on nouns and verbs. Examples: :''Certer-u-be-n-yod nebat-it-ab-en-s cobens-es-ev tibas-at-be-s-er-v-eth?'' :cistern-PL-2ND-GEN-LOC cold-CAUS-PAST-FOLL-NOM water-NOM-ACC have-PRES-2ND-NOM-PREC-ACC-QUES :Do you have in your cisterns water that has been made cold? (Out of the Silent Planet) The verb ending ''-ens'' (or ''-nes''; many endings have a CV form and a VC form and use one or the other for euphony reasons) indicates that the subject ''cobenses'' follows the verb ''nebatens''; this gives it the force of a participle. The suffix ''-erv'' in ''tibaserv'' indicates that the object ''cobensev'' precedes it, which is the normal order. The 2nd plural suffix is ''-bu'', which unlike ''-be'' does not metathesize. The 1st person pronoun is ''-li''. The ergative ending is ''-l'' and the dative is ''-m''. :''Jan-es-es adrab-u-re-s jan-ay-a har-er-s.'' :man-NOM-NOM language-PL-PREC-NOM man-SAMENUM-IS worth-PREC-NOM :A man is worth as many men as he speaks languages. The noun ''janeses'' has two nominative endings, indicating that it is the subject of two verbs. ''adrab'' is both a noun and a verb; being plural, it indicates that the man speaks more than one language. ''-res'' is metathesized for euphony. The plural of ''janeses'' is ''januses'', where one NOM ending loses its vowel. The same number ending is ''-a'', but since it precedes another ending ''-a'', a ''y'' is inserted between them. The second ''-a'' makes a verb "to be a man" out of a noun "man", or is a case indicating "as a man". ''har'' has a homophone meaning "see", but that would normally take the accusative case. :''Be janes adrabens zimasares.'' :the man-NOM language-FOLL-NOM animal-NOM-IS-PREC-NOM :Man is the animal that speaks. This illustrates ''-a'' forming a verb. ''zima'' takes the ending ''-s'' indicating that it's the subject of ''adrabens'', then ''-a'' makes it a verb, which takes ''-res'' indicating that the subject ''janes'' precedes. ==Pronouns== Wanian has three different third person pronouns, depending on whether the referent is in the same sentence or not, and if so, whether it is before or after the pronoun. This marking is obligatory when the pronoun is a verb suffix; when it is a standalone word, it is used sometimes loosely. The pronouns are ''li'' "I", ''be'' "you", ''te'' "it" (not in the sentence), ''re'' "it" (preceding), and ''ne'' "it" (following).

It has many consonants, few vowels, a few morphemes (not many of them assigned a meaning), and not much else yet. ==Vowels== The vowels are ''a'', ''i'', and ''u''. They can be long or short, or any two can be put together to make a diphthong. Short vowels have three tones, high, mid, and low; long vowels and diphthongs have in addition rising and falling tones. Vowels can be nasal (ãĩũ), constricted (ạịụ), or both. The pronunciation is rather variable; either /a/ or /i/ can sound like [ɛ]. ==Consonants== Most consonants that precede the vowel come in pairs, one ejective and one not. The ejective is written as if voiceless and the other as if voiced; voicing is nondistinctive. * p, b, t, d, k, g, s, z, f, v, š, ž, ts, tz Other consonants don't come in pairs: * m, n, tl, kl Any of these consonants can be preceded by ''f'' or ''s''. Then the vowel can be followed by any of these six consonants: * m, n, ŋ, p, t, k Ejectivity is distinctive only in the consonant immediately preceding a vowel. The ejective stops appear to descend from Proto-Simptlikian prestopped nasals, and the ejective fricatives were formed by analogy. ==Morpheme forms== The morpheme forms are as follows: #CVCVC, inflecting to CVCCV by metathesis #*''tlibit'' -> ''tlitbi'' "one" #*''tlaikum''. The form ''tlaimku'' is rare. #*''zitlip'' -> ''ziptli'' #*''klandii''. The form ''kladiin'' is rare. #*''Zĩtlip'' -> ''Zĩptli'' (name of this people) #:These morphemes can be strung together: ''tlaikumzitlip'', ''zitlipklandii''. #CVCVCV where the first two CV are the same #*''tlitlima'' #-CV #*''-ki'' in ''zĩptliki'' #*''-kla'' and ''-di'' in ''zitlũpkladi'' #CV- #Single syllables #*''tlit'' or ''tlĩ'' "one", "an" #*''bịt'' #Other words #*''ftuda'' #*''tliniãtla'' #*''zistạ̃ụ̃dii Filofonecian 4638 27883 2008-01-02T05:07:25Z PierreAbbat 1174 New page: {{Language |English=Filofonecian |native=Filofonikisye |country=Filofonecia |nativecountry=Filofoniki |universe=Melin |speakers=? |family=[[Borogoni]] |branch=Goni |subbranch=West |wordord... {{Language |English=Filofonecian |native=Filofonikisye |country=Filofonecia |nativecountry=Filofoniki |universe=Melin |speakers=? |family=[[Borogoni]] |branch=Goni |subbranch=West |wordorder=SVO |type=inflecting |alignment=nominative-accusative |author=Pierre Abbat |date=late 1970s}} ==Phonetics== ''Copied from Azarian.

There is also a growing influx of words from French and Old Taurusian where adapted words are not felt to be appropriate: for example, Avion (‘aeroplane’, from French avion) is used in place of German Flugzeug. Coinages, which often translate entire English phrases, are formed from various Romance languages. Because Old Taurusian orthography was based on phonetic English and, to a lesser extent, French spelling, it was changed to Taurusian before being consumed into Piscean, which uses a Piscean orthography, e.g. Old Taurusian Rougeonstul > Taurusian (Tauro-Piscean) Ruǧonstull. [[Image:Tauro-pisces.png|left]] The Tauro-Piscean language belongs to S.C. Anderson and L.J. Partridge, residents of the territories claimed by the New Pisces and Taurus micronation. Throughout its history, Piscean has belonged to several branches of the Indo-European language family, including Italic and West Germanic. Due to the awkward classification, a new pseudo-branch of Indo-European languages has been created by Anderson: 'Multi-Western', after the languages spoken in western Europe that have inspired Piscean. Tauro-Piscean is essentially the [[Piscean_language|modern Piscean dialect]], reformed and with some revived features from its history, and the newly developing - now ingested - language Taurusian. Since an agreement on 27 November 2007, Anderson (Piscean) and Partridge (Taurusian) have agreed to work on a joint language and now both moderate the Piscean Lexicon. ==Writing system== to be replaced ... ==Vocabulary of Tauro-Piscean== ===Words from Piscean=== Due to Piscean's history of borrowing from different Germanic and Romance languages, modern Piscean has 'recessive' vocabulary, i.e. it has words that mean the same as one another in their source languages, but now have different meanings in Tauro-Piscean. For example, there are four words that originally translated as 'day': *Dominant: 'Deej' (Germanic) - 'day' *Recessive 1: 'Tag' (Germanic) - 'typical day' *Recessive 2: 'Scharne (Romance) - 'personal holiday' *Recessive 3: 'Pee' (Germanic) - 'bank holiday' The last form was imported into early Old Piscean from modern English ('pé', a corruption of 'day'); the third, into middle Old Piscean from French/Italian ('jarna', compare 'jour' and 'giorno'); the second, into late Old Piscean from German ('Tag'); the first, into modern Piscean from Old English (reformed spelling: 'daeg'). Therefore, Tauro-Piscean could now be compared to English, albeit the language of Anderson and Partridge arguably has a much more consistent method of assigning vocabulary. See also: [[Piscean language]] ====Reform 07/12/07==== The Reform of December has meant that in Tauro-Piscean, the letter G in words of Old English origin will be replaced by the letter J. Previously, in Piscean, some were replaced, but the substitution is now made complete. Observe: *Godendeej (modern Piscean) > Jodendeej (Tauro-Piscean) *frignan (modern Piscean) > frijnan (Tauro-Piscean) *geond (modern Piscean) > jeond (Tauro-Piscean) Also in words of Old English origin, the letters HW are replaced by W in Tauro Piscean and the letters WR are replaced by R. *hwit (modern Piscean) > wit (Tauro-Piscean) *hweet (modern Piscean) > weet (Tauro-Piscean) *writan (modern Piscean) > ritan (Tauro-Piscean) ===Words from Taurusian=== Tauro-Piscean, in addition to Romance and Germanic influences, is influced by Taurusian. Taurusian vocabulary is invented spontaneously by Partridge and, as a result of which, can cater for unique words among the Piscean language that often help to make communication quicker and less ambiguous. Observe (Piscean elements of infinitives are enclosed in square brackets): *pars [bean] - to have mixed emotions *Hijfíĵs - someone that opposes one's ideas or mannerisms *Dijnumm - AstroTurf, flat 'artificial turf' used for sports *Hupíjcort - cross-country running *Runndajvu - motocross *Ruscgonstull - registration at regular intervals to affirm attendance *Handjular - personal computer (PC) *Cornipáznaj - compact disc (CD) *Hijvidrool - digital versatile disc (DVD) *Bude - box set *lijtáccan - to be taken lightly *ruffär - shaky/sketchy *Waterdogg - subwoofer *fuzdulaársan - to rub it in someone's face *Tornade - jet lag *Blubruze - highlighter pen *Tijard - greetings card ==Tenses of Tauro-Piscean== {|border=1 !

Future perfect | Icc ajzfarin | I will have gone |} Note that modern Piscean used few of the above tenses, but due to their useful functions, those that were not used have been revived from Old Piscean usage and adapted for Tauro-Piscean. Verb inflection instructions follow (note that 'infinitive stem' refers to the removal of '-an', '-ian' or '-s' and addition of '-'. '-e' or '-' respectively): ===Present simple=== Refer to [[Piscean_language#Verbs#Indicative#Non-past_singular|indicative non-past]] ===Present continuous=== To form the present continuous in singular, add '-ong' to an infinitive stem that ends in a consonant or '-ng' to one that ends in a vowel. To form the present continuous in plural, do as above, but use '-ongen' and '-ngen' respectively. ===Present perfect=== To form the present perfect in singular, use the word 'neef' before an infinitive stem that has '-t' attached to it. To form the present perfect in plural, do as above, but use '-ten'. ===Preterite=== Refer to [[Piscean_language#Verbs#Indicative#Past_singular|indicative past]] ===Imperfect=== To form the imperfect in singular, add '-ot' to an infinitive stem that ends in a consonant or '-jot' to one that ends in a vowel. To form the imperfect in plural, do as above, bue use '-oten' and '-joten' respectively. ===Past continuous=== To form the past continuous in singular and plural, follow the same instructions as for present perfect, but substitute the word 'wojz' for 'neef'. ===Pluperfect=== To form the pluperfect in singular, prefix 'ge-' and suffix '-ut' to an infinitive stem that ends in a consonant. If it starts with a consonant, use 'gej-' instead of 'ge-'. For one that ends in a vowel, suffix '-jut' instead of '-ut'. To form the pluperfect in plural, do as above, but use '-uten' and '-juten' in place of '-ut' and '-jut' respectively. ===Future=== Refer to [[Piscean_language#Verbs#Indicative#Non-past_singular|indicative non-past]] ===Future perfect=== To form the future perfect in singular, prefix 'ajz-' and suffix '-in' to an infinitive stem that ends in a consonant. For one that ends in a vowel, replace '-in' with '-jin'. To form the pluperfect in plural, do as above, but use '-inen' and '-jinen' in place of '-in' and '-jin' respectively. ===Grammatical moods=== The document [[Piscean_language|''Piscean language'']] also shows how to inflect all verb stems to reflect grammatical mood.

The people speaking the protolanguage called themselves ''Pighaki'' or ''Seli'' and their land ''Seli-ghama'', "home of the Seli". Among the modern languages are [[Pigaic]] and [[Ubnadck]], which are closely related, and the various Eastern Seligamine dialects, including [[Menolian]] and standard [[Eastern Seligamine]]. Proto-Pihaki and most of its descendants are inflecting, with nouns having singular, plural, and several cases, and verbs inflecting for three persons, two numbers, and several tenses. Verbs generally had three consonants, with vowels indicating tense, but modern languages have lost the three-consonant pattern. {| | tazaʔa "to give birth" || Singular || Plural |- | 1 || tazaʔit || tazaʔitit |- | 2 || tazaʔub || tazaʔubub |- | 3 || tazaʔa || tazaʔana |} The Pighaki appear not to have had any words for numbers over three. Their reconstructed number words are ''lebha, sibhina, tesekla'', well attested in all branches of the family. Daughter languages, however, use different words after that, and don't even use the same base: Pigaic and Ubnadck use centered base 9, or base 9 with subtraction, while other languages use base 10.

Knoschke orthography 4645 49828 2009-10-19T14:45:41Z Melroch 31 added categories ==The new Knoschke transcription== The first column shows Knoschke phonemes in IPA transcription. The second column shows the transcription based on Hungarian orthography which Németh used in his notes and taught to some Knoschke speakers. Variants in parentheses were used by Németh at some time or other. This mode of writing Knoschke is the only one with a claim to be called its standard orthography. It can be approximated in Latin-1 by using circumflex instead of double acute and the tilde dash ~ instead of ogonek. The third column shows the 'scientific' transcription Németh used in his 1873 ''Grammatik der Knoschkesprache Transsylvaniens'' and in subsequent scholarly articles. He never used it in field notes. The fourth column shows the transcription used on the Old Knoschke pages.

Németh had trouble hearing the exact quality of such vowels and often wrote them as ''ẹ'' or ''ə'' in his notes. He was constrenated when his informants told him that theso vowels never were indistinct or tended to merge in their ears, and it was only after corresponding with a famous German phonetician that he realized both that Knoschke had distinctive aspiration and that the peculiarity of these vowels was that they were voiceless. As his auditory difficulties with these vowels continued he consistently marked them with an underdot (''ạẹịọụỵ'' etc.) both in his notes and in the ''Grammatik'', using ''ə̣'' when he considered himself ignorant of the true quality of the vowel. He noted in the ''Grammatik'' that the underdot and schwa only denoted that &quot;the author as a foreigner is uncertain about the exact quality of these vowels. To the native speaker, accustomed to the phenomenon of unvoiced vowels, there exists no uncertainty whatsoever, nor are these vowels distinct sounds [i.e. phonemes] to him, but merely the result of the influence of a preceding breathed consonant. In fact the author must confess his dificulties also with distinguishing breathed from unbreathed consonants, so that this perceived indistinctness of a vowel is often his best clue to the presence of a breathed consonant.&quot; Németh's dufficulties were certainly compounded by the fact that only one of the three dialects of Knoschke (still) possessed distinct aspirated consonants. Speakers of the other dialects tended to pronounce all voiceless consonants as aspirated, except before another obstruent and in VCV sequences. It should however be noted that his main Knoschke informant was a woman speaking the dialect with distinct aspirates (and who probably is the native speaker referred to as 'he' in the passage quoted above!) Underdots were never part of the orthography of handwritten or printed material written by or for native speakers. Moreover aspirated consonants are no more a part of Knoschke orthography to the extent that the language is still written today, since the 'aspirating' dialect of Pe̋terkhird (which Németh in the ''Grammatik'' referred to with the Germanized name ''Petershain'') is now extinct. Scholars of the language however continue to use the aspirating orthography, since that was the orthography which Németh endeavored to use in his notes and ''Grammatik'', as well as, and most importantly, in the ''New Testament and Psalter'', and since an inordinate amount of preserved original texts were written by Pe̋ter Miklós (after his emigration to the USA known as Peter Nichols), who was from Pe̋terkhird and himself spoke the aspirating dialect. Inspired by the avid diarist and ethnographic-linguistic notetaker Németh Pe̋ter Miklós kept a diary and notebook in Knoschke from the age of sixteen until he went blind at the age of eighty-two, at which time he had lived for more than fifty years in America. His respellings of English words and whole English passages in Knoschke orthography give valuable insights not only into the phonology of Knoschke, but also into 19th century US English, since he often noted and made comments on dialectal differences in English which he encountered. It is interesting to note that Miklós used ''ch'' and ''x'' to denote English {{IPA|/θ/}} and {{IPA|/ð/}} but wrote English {{IPA|/ts/}} and {{IPA|/dz/}} as ''ts'' and ''dz''; however he himself wrote that 'although this is how I initially perceived these sounds it is not how the English [sic!] pronounce them, so that my spelling is merely an expedient.' == Notes == {{note|1}}[1] After palatal(ized) consonants the back vowels have front rounded allophones [y ø œ], and Németh to begin with wrote cü, cö etc. instead of tyu, työ etc., and failed to distinguish [œ] from [ø], something he continued to have trouble with all along. In the Grammatik he wrote these allophones as ü, ö and ḁ̈, (ćü, pʹü) but noted that they were conditioned variants, so that Knoschke speakers were prone to mispronounce both Hungarian tü and Hungarian tyu as ćü. {{note|2}}[2] At the beginning of words. {{note|3}}[3] Not at the beginning of words. The combination /ji/ is written ji as */jɨ/ doesn't occur. {{note|4}}[4] All Knoschke vowels can occur nasalized, but nasalization is phonemic only word-finally as in gí&#x034f;̨ /gĩː/ 'wine'. Word internally nasalization of vowels occurs only before fricatives and is there an archiphoneme for /n/ and /ŋ/.

Tir'àata 4659 29437 2008-03-01T20:04:57Z Humancadaver101 212 /* Phonology */ Tir'àata is a language spoken in northeastern Lescealh, in the area between the Razoheariscah Mountain Range and the Timeareitah peninsula. It bears extreme similarities to [[Tiijáta]] and [[Tiijaato]], that have even led to some analysists to classify them as all dialects of a modernized form of their parent language [[Tir'jauta]]. Tir'àata and its sister languages are ultimately descendents of [[Proto-Rajo-Faraneit]], in the same family as [[Faraneit]], [[Raj]], Fraze, [[Kelsiut]], [[Hana]], and other languages spoken in various parts of Northeastern Lescealh. ==Phonology== {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Bilabial !Labio-Dental !Apical Alveolar !Laminal Alveolar !Retroflex !Palatal !Labiovelar !Velar !Uvular !Glottal |- |'''Stop''' | align=center | {{IPA|p}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|t̺}} | align=center | {{IPA|t̻}} | align=center | {{IPA|ʈ}} | align=center | {{IPA|c}} | align=center | {{IPA|kp)}} | align=center | {{IPA|k}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ʔ}} |- |'''Nasal''' | align=center | {{IPA|m}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|n̺}} | align=center | {{IPA|n̻}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɳ}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ŋ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɴ}} | &nbsp; |- |'''Fricative''' | align=center | {{IPA|ɸ}} | align=center | {{IPA|f}} | align=center | {{IPA|s̺}} | align=center | {{IPA|s̻}} | align=center | {{IPA|ʂ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ç}} | align=center | {{IPA|xʷ}} | align=center | {{IPA|x}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Approximant''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|r}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ɻ}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Lateral Flap''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|l}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɭ}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |} Vowels: */a˥ aː˥ i˥ e˥ u˥ a˧ aː˧ i˧ e˧ u˧ a˩ aː˩ i˩ e˩ u˩/ **<á áa í é ó ú a aa i e u à àa ì è ù> *No diphthongs are permitted.

Because of the enormous diversity within the family, categorization is difficult, although not impossible. ==Categorization== *Central Group **RF1 - [[Central Measceineafh]] ***[[Rajat]] ***[[Fraze]] **RF2 - [[Western Measceineafh]] ***[[Fórong]] ***[[Furonj]] **RF3 - Southern Measceineafh ***[[Kelsiut]] *Southern Group **RF4 - Razoheariscah ***[[Tir'àata]] ***[[Tiijáta]] ***[[Tiijaato]] *Northern Group **RF5 - Lescealh ***[[Faraneit|Classical Faraneit]] ***[[Poleiseam Faraneik]] ***[[Northeastern Hameih Lescealh Faraneit|Heajaz Faraneit]] ***[[Kupmec Faraneit]] ***[[Central Lescealh Faraneit]] ***[[Scekoah Faraneit]] ***[[Scekoah_Faraneit#Lhezoat_Dialect|Lhezoat Faraneit]] ***[[Scekoah_Faraneit#Cohut_Dialect|Cohut Faraneit]] **RF6 - Kupeameiceah ***[[Hana]] *Eastern Group **RF7 - Pre-Bokeih ***[[!suta]] ==Central Group== The Central Group is the most diverse of the main groups. The main reason for the grouping of these three distinct branches from PRF into one supragroup is that they all allow the existance of a phoneme /g/. Of the remaining languages, there is no /g/ and only a few examples of [g]. In other words, the split recognition of voice has been replaced by a full voiced/voiceless distinction for the plosives, and in most cases the fricative series as well. Another principle commonality is the preservation of having a pitch-stress system (although not perfectly preserved from PRF in any case) but not a full tonality system, like the Southern Group. The final principle commonality is the complete dissolution of the retroflex liquids from PRF, and with the creation of no alternative retroflex consonants. This, however, occurs through a variety of means. Within this group, RF1 is known for extensive fricative deletion, as well as an extreme shift towards SVO and SOV constructions, notably deviating from the VSO dominance of PRF. Here, *l and *ɭ are preserved, yet *ɻ and *r merged, then became [ɖ] word initally, [z] between vowels, and [ɻ] in clusters. RF2 is notable for its extensive number of vowel qualities (as many as eleven) and its preservation of the voiceless affricates in some dialects, as well as the more universal reanalysis of voiced affricates as voiced aspirates. Grammatically, RF2 is much more conservative and preserves the majority of the isolating features of PRF while maintaining the VSO word order. In this group, *ɻ also became a (usually nasal) flap, but *r deteriorated into /ʔ/ then deleted in many dialects. On the other hand, the *l - *ɭ distinction remained, but *ɭ shifted into /ɬ/ On the other hand, RF3 is rather innovative grammatically, evolving terminal mutations in relation to plurality and adjectives following the noun. It also developed SVO word order, reduced *l and *r to /ɺ/ and changed *ɭ *ɻ into /l/ and /r/, respectively, after leniting the affricate series. ==Southern Group== The Southern Group contrasts with the chaotic Central Group with its extreme homogeneity. All of the three descendent languages have dissolved the partial voice distinction, instead of having a Central Group complete distinction, extreme lenition of the voiced stops and fricatives destroyed the instances of distinction. The areal influence of the indigenous [[Sjisia]] dialects is believed to have resulted in tonogenesis, in tandem with a sudden period of notable [[Kelsiut]] influence creating certain conditions aiding this process. Original syllable terminal *w became [ɣ] or [g] dependent on language, which in turn produced low tone and high tone respectively. Contemporaneously, syllable terminal *j became [ʒ] or [ʔ] again dependent on dialect, and later deleted and produced low or high tone. The sudden formation of [g ɣ ʒ ʔ] is believed to have been the result of sudden interaction with the Kelsiut speakers, which during the time period had recently evolved phonemic /g ɣ ʒ/, even if the contrast was admittedly limited. The deletion of these voiced phonemes producing tone is only one example from various influences of the [[Sjisia]] speakers. Originally a mere allophonic distinction, *k split into phonemes /k kp) c/ showing influence from both High Sjisia, which has phonemic /k c/, and Low Sjisia, which has phonemic /k kp)/. There is also ample evidence of dramatic phonetic influence from the local [[Héhà]] speakers, which potentially gave areal support to the tonogenesis process due to its fairly tonal nature. In addition, the frequent preference of /ʌ/ as a middle back vowel over /o/ was directly absorbed from this group. While showing the least tonogenesis, [[Tiijaato]] arguably shows by far the most Sjisia influence as far as phonotactics, visible from the complete adoption of a (C)V syllable structure, while the other two modern languages still maintained (C)V(C). Grammatically, all of the languages show compromise between preserving Proto-Rajo-Faraneit and Sjisia influence. All of them are extremely similar in the notably isolating tendencies. The historical future tense has ceased usage and has been replaced with the same historically modal construction in all three. A copula form has also developed, although its use is somewhat restricted. Another notable innovation, this time independently created, is the inchoative "voice" which appears to have been modeled from a combination of the copula form and imperfect tense. ==Northern Group== The Northern Group is the most widely spoken and one of the more conservative branches of the Rajo-Faraneit Language Family. Hana and the various pieces of the Faraneit dialect spectrum are united by a variety of morphological, syntactic, and phonetic similarities. Phonetically, the (generally) universal deleltion of *ɑ and the maintainence of a voicing distinction in the alveolar and labial series, but the non-developmence of one in the velar or uvular series. Notably the absolute lack of [g ɢ] was maintained by the Hana subset while the vast majority of Faraneih dialects did the same. The two strains differ, however, in their approach the sudden increase in clusters caused by the wholesale deletion of *ɑ. Hana relied heavily on torsion, while Faraneit used epenthetic /a/. Both strains are also notable for their unusual development of front rounded vowels (only in Kupmec and other Faraneit dialects, within the Faraneit subset), which can not be explained by areal influence, since exposure to Bokeih speakers, the Malaba speakers, and various other groups uniformally did not include those with either /y ø/. Syntactically, both subsets where less conservative, although compared to the other main branches they were notably conservative. Faraneit in particular strengthened the VSO constructions, while Hana maintained the originally more free word order, which other branches, including Faraneit restricted more frequently. In full, however, this entire group maintained the freer word order much more readily, even within Faraneit. Morphologically, both groups created interesting verb couplets regarding the intentionality. The infix *ɑs was incorporated into a variety of verbs resulting in a number of pairs. In Faraneit, these were reanalyzed as a distinction between sensing something or sensing a certain characteristic of something. Needless to say, Faraneit failed to preserve any of the couplets aside from those for sensation verbs. Hana, on the other hand, expanded the distinction to include several motion verbs among others, while also maintaining the distinction as one of intention-disintention. Both reduced to original auxilaries to verbal suffixes, ultimately resulting in highly synthetic verb forms, while they differed dramatically in terms of nominal grammar, where Faraneit preserved the extremes of isolation that Proto-Rajo-Faraneit practiced, while Hana developed some level of synthesis, although not a significant amount. ==Eastern Group== The now-extinct Eastern Group contained only one language !suta, which was remarkable for developing an extreme level of vowel harmony and gaining an entire class of click consonants while maintaining a strange level of conservatism concerning grammatical innovation - maintaining the aspect-tense system almost purely from Proto-Rajo-Faraneit. ==General Similarities and Patterns== Ghasynekyd 4662 28277 2008-01-28T03:37:09Z Schlaier 619 New page: <pre> Ghasynekyd a ɑ ae æ ai ɑi e e i i o o u u y ə v ʋ p p t t k k c c b bʰ s s g gʰ r r l l nv nʷ n n gh ʀ th θ d dʰ numbers are sin... <pre> Ghasynekyd a ɑ ae æ ai ɑi e e i i o o u u y ə v ʋ p p t t k k c c b bʰ s s g gʰ r r l l nv nʷ n n gh ʀ th θ d dʰ numbers are singular and plural PRONOUNS 1st 2nd 3rd acc. enk ab ok gagor gar gobayer gen. nek bek ok nekyr fekyr okyr dat. enykel abal okol genykel gabal gokol abl. nayenyk nayab nayok nygagor nygar nygobayer NOUNS nanyt "man" nom. nanyt eyonanyt acc. nanyt eyonanyt gen. dananyt seyonanyt dat. nanytal eyonanytal abl. natanyt neyotanyt intsr. nanytap eyonanytap VERBS dekanyga "to say" 1st&2nd 3rd past dekanygak dekanygot dekanygakyd dekanygo pres. adekanygak adekanygot adekanygakyd adekanygo fut. dekanygavek dekanygovet dekanygavekyd dekanygove pu - who pat - where pere - what pen - when not - all nane - much donve - some sev - few obegh - other BASE 16 lan - 0 envo - 1 ut - 2 bali - 3 sur - 4 seve - 5 detyd - 6 deve - 7 ipyte - 8 enen - 9 ken - a eron - b kelys - c berygen - d sothe - e sesyge - f sinvo - 10 envo pyve sinvo - 11 (literally one-and sixteen) uty pyve sinvo - 12 ut sinvo - 20 berygen pyve ut sinvo - 2d onakyrek - 100 bali onakyrek - 300 sothe pyve ut sinvo pyve bali onakyrek - 32e budanyt - 1000 ADJECTIVES bek - thin ben - thick gave - light (weight) pek - small naghu - wide ranv - short vete - narrow dynath - big doryt - tall, long NOUNS ayer - hair alenvo - arm anenv - animal anytak - hand ape - edge aper - awe aghad - elf asenv - air atygughal - valley ayotha - ear ayopa - eye ep - egg gapel - eagle garytos - heart gasygot - head gen - skin kayel - tail kathad - grass kelyt - child konyve - tongue kub - tooth lygas - book lope - rope nanyt - man nvuga - monster nep - neck nyga - knee nygat - meat nober - mother, aunt, grandmother nub - mouth node - nose palut - blood parek - bark parygatyd - breast peryt - bird potyd - gut rep - leg ghever - liver ghup - root ghude - louse sabel - father, uncle, grandfather sak - fat salyvegh - flower sarygot - apple sekyd - fish senap - drink seneryna - nail sygabegh - feather soletyd - forest suk - foot tayeryga - boar tathe - tree talunv - flower tap - back tapa - bacon taras - leaf telep - bag teyaghep - fort tygalak - king tygughal - bowl tokonyt - dog tothayak - cover tone - bone toven - bear onvan - human oran - horn urynv - snake odynanyt - husband vese - wife voyenv - wing vonvan - woman decok - sword dyget - seed dynake - worm BOATS boat/ship - vaepyga kayak - ghanvayadygae row boat - tilyvaepyga large oar powered - tayalyvaepyga small sail - sygaeth large sail - dynathesygaeth fishingboat - sekydyvaepyga warship - kydanyparyk cargoship - kydanyrat whalingboat - dalthekydyvaepyga VERBS bekanyga - spit benapan - think bylek - break ekanva - hit gakanv - eat garenve - hear karatyd - cut kepeb - dig ce - die layop - laugh nu - know parygabe - breath pel - kill palu - suck pokarho - cut gheve - live sekyt - fight sygaghel - fear teke - bite onygak - hunt vonvek - vomit dat - stab di - see dygalit - sleep dyneth - smell doyenv - drown dop - blow Kinship Terms Older Female - nober Older Male - sabel Contemporary Female - daike Contemporary Male - dayatae Younger Female - aebygoke Younger Male - aebygaete </pre> Tiijáta 4663 28286 2008-01-28T04:47:31Z Humancadaver101 212 Tiijáta is a language spoken in the foothills of the mountain range Razoheariscah by the Faraneih, which is extremely similar to [[Tir'àata]] and [[Tiijaato]], but also from the same linguistic family as [[Faraneit]], [[Kelsiut]], [[Rajat]], and even [[Hana]]. ==Phonology== {| class="wikitable" !

A fifth slot, which gives evidential information is also often tagged on. ==Subject suffix== The subject slot is filled as follows ;- {| border=1 |align=center| I |align=center| -'''a'''- |align=center| we(exc.) |align=center| -'''au'''- |- |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| we(inc.) |align=center| -'''ai'''- |- |align=center| you |align=center| -'''i'''- |align=center| you(pl.) |align=center| -'''e'''- |- |align=center| he/she |align=center| -'''o'''- |align=center| they |align=center| -'''u'''- |} ==Mood suffix== The mood slot is filled as follows ;- {| border=1 |align=center| indicative |align=center| -'''r'''- |- |align=center| subjunctive |align=center| -'''s'''- |- |align=center| conditional (hypothetical) |align=center| -'''mo''' |- |align=center| conditional (counterfactual) |align=center| -'''mi''' |- |align=center| imperative |align=center| -'''ya''' |} ===The imperative mood=== When the imperative is used there is no tense suffix. Also it is used only with the two second person subject suffixes. So for example;- {| border=1 |align=center| to hit |align=center| '''timpa''' |- |align=center| Hit him/her. |align=center| '''timpiya na''' |- |align=center| Hit him/her(spoken to more than one person). |align=center| '''timpeya na''' |} For the negative imperative we use the particle '''kya''' and the verb in its recitation form. For example ;- {| border=1 |align=center| Don't hit him/her. |align=center| '''kya timpa na''' |} Notice that in the negative form, the single/plural distinction is lost. ===The conditional moods=== {| border=1 |align=center| if you hit him, I will hit you |align=center| '''timpimo na, timpamo yu''' |- |align=center| if you had hit him, I would have hit you |align=center| '''timpimi na, timpami yu''' |} {| border=1 |align=center| if you hit him, I will not hit you |align=center| '''timpimo na, timpampu yu''' |- |align=center| if you had hit him, I would not have hit you |align=center| '''timpimi na, timpampe yu''' |} Usually verbs with the conditional moods come in pairs. Sometimes, however you get a conditional verb by itself in a sentence that expresses the wishes of the speaker. '''benamo''' "millionaire" = if only I was rich '''benomo miho''' = Would that she be mine Perhaps one way to understand the above to examples, is that there is an unstated, second part to the sentence meaning "I would be content/happy" ===The subjuntive mood=== ====Subjunctive form==== The subjunctive have the subject slot filled and then an '''s'''. ====Subjunctive "reason"==== I have called this mood the subjunctive because its use is similar to the subjunctives. The "reason" why Seuna has this mood, is that it is disallowed to have redundant tense/aspect information in a sentence. If the tense/aspect of a sentence has been given already by a verb in the indicative mood, then any verb in a later subordinate sentence is given the subjunctive mood (it is mandatory for the indicative form to show tense/aspect) I will stand up and let you sit. Also Seuna strongly dislikes redundant person/number information. It is mandatory for the subjunctive form to show person/number. For this reason the second verb in a sentence will often be reduced further to its infinitive form (or nominative form ... actually I like the Arabic term "maSdar" which means source, it seems appropriate for the Seuna infinitive form) The English eat to live : the French live to eat. ====Subjunctive examples==== Although the subjunctive usually appears on sentence-non-initial verbs. In one function it can appear on the first verb of a sentence. '''donais''' = Lets walk Probably in this "hortative" function the 1.pl.inc person/number is the one most frequently encountered. However all the person/number forms can occur. For the second person these come across as a mild imperative (the second person having a dedicated imperative form). '''doniya''' = walk! '''donis''' = why don't you walk In the first person singular form, this function of the subjunctive form is often used when sort of talking to yourself ... as in English "Let me see" ====Negative subjunctive==== For the negative subjunctive we suffix '''ka'''. '''timpaska na''' = In order that I do not hit him ===The indicative mood=== Note that the subjunctive mood takes no tense suffixes and no evidential suffixes. Also imperative mood has no tense suffixes and no evidential suffixes and its personal pronoun suffixes are severely trunkated. ====Tense suffixes==== The tense slot is filled as follows ;- {| border=1 |align=center| general |align=center| -'''o''' |- |align=center| past |align=center| -'''i''' |- |align=center| present |align=center| -'''e''' |- |align=center| future |align=center| -'''u''' |- |align=center| perfect |align=center| -'''a''' |- |align=center| past perfect |align=center| -'''ia''' |- |align=center| future perfect |align=center| -'''ua''' |} ====Evidential suffixes==== {| border=1 |align=center| reported |align=center| -'''n''' |- |align=center| inferred |align=center| -'''s''' |- |align=center| seen |align=center| -'''a''' |} Evidentials are only used in main(independent clauses), with the indicative mood. The "seen" evidential is only used with the past tense suffix. None of the evidentials are obligatory. The reported and inferred seem to bring into doubt the reliability of the information somewhat. '''-n''' means inferred from evidence and is used in the situations in which we prefix or tag on "I guess" or "I think" to a clause in English. '''-s''' means and information asserted is got from some third party and is used where we might prefix "they say" to a clause in English. ==The reciprocal== For the reciprocal we place the particle '''gan''' immediately after the verb. ==Negation== '''solboru''' = he/she will drink '''solbortu''' = he/she will not drink The infinitive is negated by suffixing '''hu''' which by itself, means 'to lack'. '''hutimpa''' = to not hit ==Two epistemic particles== The two epistemic particles '''meu''' and '''loi''' take the same positions relative to the verb as '''ka'''. '''meu''' = "may" '''loi''' = "probably" == Antonyms == Some verbs that end with '''a''' have antonyms. For example;- '''tata''' = to tangle '''tatua''' = to untangle ==The copula== The forms of the copula are almost identical to the TAM markings. {| border=1 |align=center| I was |align=center| '''bari''' |align=center| we(exc.)were |align=center| '''bauri''' |- |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| we(inc.) were |align=center| '''bairi''' |- |align=center| you were |align=center| '''biri''' |align=center| you(lot) were |align=center| '''beri''' |- |align=center| he/she was |align=center| '''ri''' or '''bori''' |align=center| they are |align=center| '''buri''' |} Notice that the third person singular copula drops the '''o''' that occurs in the verb paradigm. The '''u''' of the third person singular can also be dropped if the subject has already been stated. It usually depends upon phonological factors. '''kaunu nan ro hau@e''' = her coat is beautiful '''kauneu wan buro hau@e''' = their coats are beautiful '''kauneu wan ro hau@e''' = their coats are beautiful You will notice that in the above table we demonstrated the copula system using the past tense. The reason that the past tense was used is that the present tense in English corresponds to two forms and two meanings in Seuna. The difference in meaning between the two forms, is the same as the difference between the two Spanish copulas “estar” and "ser". The "'''e'''" form being used for a less permanent state of affairs (similar to the use of "estar")and the "'''o'''" form being used for a more permanent state of affairs (similar to the use of "ser"). '''bare buke''' = I am sick '''baro buke''' = I am an invalid There is a set of negative copulas as given below;- {| border=1 |align=center| I wasn't |align=center| '''harti''' |align=center| we(exc.)weren't |align=center| '''haurti''' |- |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| we(inc.) weren't |align=center| '''hairti''' |- |align=center| you weren't |align=center| '''hirti''' |align=center| you(lot) weren't |align=center| '''herti''' |- |align=center| he/she wasn't |align=center| '''horti''' |align=center| they aren't |align=center| '''hurti''' |} As in Russian, if tense information is unimportant, two words can just stand together with no copula. '''mi moltai''' = I am a doctor ==Gerund constructions== In English we have what is called the 'gerund'. For example;- "Me hitting him is not on". In this example "Me hitting him" is sort of a noun. In Seuna there is only one verbal-noun. It is the 'base form' or 'recitation form' of the verb. It is also the infinitive. '''timpa mige nafi horto boi''' = "Me hitting him is not on" ==Verbs from nouns== Many nouns are also verbs in Seuna. The relationships between the verb and noun are quite varied. In the infinitive the verb can be seen to have a different form from the noun. However in non-infinitive forms no difference is apparent. For example :- {| border=1 |align=center| salt |align=center| '''kenko''' |- |align=center| to salt, to add salt |align=center| '''kenkilo''' |- |align=center| She salted the food |align=center| '''kenkori humpos''' |} ==Some key verbs== {| border=1 |align=center| to take |align=center| '''eu''' |- |align=center| to give |align=center| '''oi''' |- |align=center| to get, to receive, to become |align=center| '''dai''' |- |align=center| to have |align=center| '''su''' |} Note ... '''eu''' means "to pick up". To take an inanimate object (somewhere) would be "take (Object) go/come". To take a person (somewhere), one would use ???? which translates as "to lead". As well as being followed by nouns, these key words can also be complemented by adjectives and other verbs. For example ... 1) to take (Adjective) = to make oneself (Adjective) ....for example ....'''ewori aiho''' = She made herself ugly Short for '''take give ya aiho''' ?? 2) to give (Adjective) = to make someone (Adjective) ....for example ....'''oyori mi aiho''' = She made me ugly Short for '''oyori mi ya aiho''' ?? or make '''aiho''' = to uglify ?? 3) to get (Adjective) = to become (Adjective) ....for example ....'''dayori aiho''' = She became ugly 4) to have (Adjective) = to be (Adjective) ....for example ....'''swori aiho''' = She was ugly 5) to take (Verb) = to (Verb) yourself (i.e. this is the reflexive) .... for example .... '''ewori timpa''' = He hit himself 6) to give (Verb) = to allow someone to (Verb) .... for example .... '''oyori mi laudo''' = She allowed me to wash 7) to get (Verb) = to be (Verb) (i.e. this is the passive) .... for example .... '''dayori laudo''' = She was washed 8) to have (Verb) = to be under obligation to (Verb) .... for example .... '''swori laudo''' = She had to wash '''jene dayori laudo''' = Jane was washed (Not Jane is allowed to wash) '''jene dayore laudo''' = Jane is being washed '''jene dayora laudo''' = Jane has been washed *** '''jene dayoru laudo''' = Jane will be washed '''jene dayori mama laudo''' = Jane was washed by her mother '''jene dayore mama laudo''' = Jane is being washed by her mother '''jene dayoru mama laudo''' = Jane will be washed '''jene swori laudoi''' = Jane was washed '''jene swore laudoi''' = Jane is washed *** '''jene sworu laudoi''' = Jane will be washed '''jene lauda waulo''' = Jane has washed her dog '''jene laudia waulo''' = Jane had washed her dog '''jene laudua waulo''' = Jane will have washed her dog Note - in all the above occurrences of '''mama''' we could have '''mamate'''. The constuction 2) and 6) are generally only used when the Adjective and the Verb are viewed as something that you would want. There is also another way of expressing 2) and 6) that can be used in all situations. This is with the infix '''-il-'''. '''aiho''' = ugly '''aihilo''' = to uglify '''hau'e''' = beautifull '''hau'ile''' = to beautify .... the glottal stop is real laudilo = to make someone wash = "do" laudo .... I must read up on this, why is the morphological causative so pervasive ?? Also oi, and su can take clauses as their complements. For example ... ==Verb list== Usually a verb is recognizable by its midword consonant cluster. These verbs are of course multi-syllable. However the most common verbs are single-syllable. They are given below. ?/'''m'''/'''my'''/'''y'''/j/'''jw'''/f/'''fy'''/fl/'''b'''/'''by'''/bl/'''bw'''/g/gl/'''gw''' /d/'''dw'''/'''l'''/c/cw/'''s'''/sl/'''sw'''/'''k'''/ky/'''kl'''/kw/p/py/pl /'''t'''/tw/w/'''n'''/'''ny'''/'''h'''/ {| border=1 |- |align=center| to take |align=center| '''eu''' |- |align=center| to give |align=center| '''oi''' |- |align=center| to receive/get |align=center| '''dai''' |align=center| Thai |align=center| 65 mil |- |align=center| to have |align=center| '''su''' |- |align=center| to lack |align=center| '''hu''' |- |align=center| to read |align=center| '''baca''' |align=center| Indonesian/Malasian |align=center| 230 mil |- |align=center| to buy |align=center| '''osta''' |align=center| Finnish |align=center| 5 mil |- |align=center| to show |align=center| '''kle''' |align=center| Baule |align=center| ? mil (page 2) |- |align=center| to be at |align=center| '''fo''' |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| to be able to(mentally/generally) |align=center| '''weka''' |- |align=center| to be able to (physically) |align=center| '''wai''' |align=center| Thai |align=center| 65 mil |- |align=center| to be allowed |align=center| '''bisa''' |align=center| Indonesian/Malasian |align=center| 230 mil |- |align=center| to walk |align=center| '''dono''' |- |align=center| to wash |align=center| '''laudo''' |- |align=center| to flutter |align=center| '''awata''' |- |align=center| to wonder |align=center| '''awasa''' |- |align=center| to bite |align=center| '''glehe''' |- |align=center| to build |align=center| '''bunda''' |- |align=center| to sever |align=center| '''nya''' |- |align=center| to cut |align=center| '''kata''' |- |align=center| to talk |align=center| '''cata''' |- |- |align=center| to fly |align=center| '''senfo''' |- |align=center| to throw |align=center| '''fyo''' |- |align=center| to know |align=center| '''moi''' |- |align=center| to tell |align=center| '''myoi''' |- |align=center| to realize,recognize |align=center| '''maloi''' |- |align=center| to do |align=center| '''tu''' |- |align=center| to start |align=center| '''dwa''' |- |align=center| to be |align=center| '''ku''' |- |align=center| to become |align=center| '''gwa''' |- |align=center| to see |align=center| '''bai''' |- |align=center| to |align=center| '''bya''' |- |align=center| to meet |align=center| '''bwa''' |- |align=center| |align=center| '''swa''' |- |align=center| to want |align=center| '''ye''' |- |align=center| to need |align=center| '''?''' |- |align=center| to run |align=center| '''cwonso''' |- |align=center| to say |align=center| ''' ''' |- |align=center| to write |align=center| '''kludau''' |- |align=center| |align=center| '''loi''' |- |align=center| |align=center| '''jwa''' |- |align=center| to feel that you should |align=center| '''jada''' |- |align=center| to enter |align=center| '''pali''' |- |align=center| to put in |align=center| '''palyi''' |- |align=center| to exit |align=center| '''malu''' |- |align=center| to extract |align=center| '''malyu''' |- |align=center| to stop |align=center| '''ha''' |- |align=center| to go down |align=center| '''teu''' |- |align=center| to raise |align=center| '''jwo''' |- |align=center| to lower |align=center| '''twe''' |- |align=center| to enter |align=center| '''pai''' |- |align=center| to exit |align=center| '''myu''' |- |align=center| to insert |align=center| '''pli''' |- |align=center| to extract |align=center| '''fyu''' |- |align=center| to go through |align=center| '''fau''' |- |align=center| to say |align=center| '''plo''' |- |align=center| to think |align=center| '''''' |- |align=center| to wish |align=center| '''flua''' |- |align=center| to want |align=center| '''heu''' |- |align=center| to understand |align=center| '''nai''' |- |align=center| to follow |align=center| '''dwe''' |- |align=center| to cross |align=center| '''cwo''' |} The initial '''k''' is not taken by '''ku''' = to be, because this is of course realized by the '''r''' paradigm when the verb is finite.

The ONLY exception to this is in folk tales where certain animals are given the power of speach. Then these animals can use the eight human pronouns. '''myu''' is a dual number pronoun meaning "me and you". '''myun''' is the first person inclusive plural pronoun. It means "me and you and somebody else" or "me and you and other people" That "somebody else"/"other people" could be from the me-group the you-group or from elsewhere. '''to''' is often not used in SEUNA where we would use "it" in English. For example, if you were asked "where did you buy that magazine", you would reply "I bought in station news-stand" instead of "I bought it in the station news-stand" == the reflexive particle == There is also the reflexive pronoun '''te''' This pronoun can never be used as a subject. However the following compounds can be. {| border=1 |align=center|I myself |align=center|'''temi''' |align=center|we ourselves |align=center|'''temia''' |- |align=center|you yourself |align=center|'''teyu''' |align=center|you yourself |align=center|'''teyua''' |- |align=center|he/she him/her/self |align=center|'''tena''' |align=center|they themselves |align=center|'''tewa''' |- |align=center|it itself |align=center|'''teto''' |align=center|they themselves |align=center|'''teton''' |- |align=center|we ourselves |align=center|'''temyu''' |align=center|we ourselves |align=center|'''temyun''' |} == pronouns and role tags == The pronouns take all the role tags that normal nouns take (except the "-s" tag).

'''hendori kaunu swege.''' {| | hend || -o || -r || -i || kaunu || tege |- | put on || -3s || -ACT || -PAST || coat || "own" |} 'He put on his (own) coat.'

The position was originally appointed by the [[Kasshi Empress]], often for life, and was established shortly after [[Navesh]]'s conquest of the city. Her position was later eclipsed by that of the [[Chief Trader of Shivrashan|Chief Trader]]. The position was abolished after the decline of the [[Third Kasshi Empire|Third Empire]]. After the establishment of the Empire of the [[Trans-Fantasta]], the position was re-established, but this time as a position inferior to that of the Chief Trader. After Shivrashan fell under [[Blafu]] domination, the position was merged into that of Chief Trader. Upon the creation of the City-State out of the original city and suburbs, the position was re-established as head of the [[Old City (Shivrashan)|Old City]], and elected by the inhabitants of the Old City.

They are '''n''' and '''s'''. == Word ordering == Words are initially sorted according to the pre-figure. So words are first ordered in the sequence;- '''@, m, y, j, f, b, g, d, l, c, s, k, p, t, w, n, h''' Then words are ordered according to the off-gesture. So, for example, words beginning with '''b''' are ordered;- '''b, by, bl, bw''' Then the are ordered according to the mid-figure. The ordering is the same as the initial ordering, namely ;- '''@, m, y, j, f, b, g, d, l, c, s, k, p, t, w, n, h''' Then words are ordered depending on mid-figure on-gesture. So, for example, words having a '''b''' as the last element in the mid-cluster are ordered;- '''b, lb, zb, mb''' Then they are ordered according to the first vowel cluster. This order is;- '''au, o, oi, i, ia, a, ua, u, eu, e, ai''' [[Category:Seuna]] ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Zelandish Ethnographical Questionnaire 4672 28563 2008-02-06T01:37:35Z - andrew 211 /* Zelandish Ethnographical Questionnaire */ = Zelandish Ethnographical Questionnaire = __TOC__ == Questions of Place == === Describe the geography of where your society calls home. === The Zelandish people, in as far they exist outside a conceit in my personal journal, exist in the city of Land-in-Siet. A city established in a harbour in southern New Zealand surrounded by a volcanic cone. Further settlements have been established in the surrounding area. A second city exists south of Land-in-Siet at Leewell and they have spread into the hinterland of southern New Zealand at least as far as Foxet and Flinthom. === Describe the climate your society deals with.

[[Seuna suffixes and some grammar]] has an old idea. [[Seuna rubbish]] the same. ==plural== The plural is formed by adding a final "n". In the writing system this is represented by a grammatical mark ''':''', not by the soundmark '''n'''. '''kloga''' = shoe, '''klogan''' = shoes There is a subgroup of nouns that become plural by changing internally. {| border=1 |align=center| man |align=center| '''bla''' |align=center| men |align=center| '''bala''' |align=center| male(adjective) |align=center| '''obla''' |- |align=center| woman |align=center| '''gla''' |align=center| women |align=center| '''gala''' |align=center| female(adjective) |align=center| '''egla''' |} ==role.tags== Nine role.tags are end.stuck to nouns. '''u''' = "by" '''yo''' = "to" or "upto" '''ji''' = "for" '''fi''' = "at" '''ge''' = "of" '''le''' = "from" '''s''' ... can be said to show the accusative case. Also used for the vocative case. '''wa''' = "towards" or "about" '''ho''' = "with" '''yo''' is used to indicate the receiver of a gift. '''wa''' also corresponds to English "about" as in "I think about you". '''fi''' is often eroded to '''f''' if the word ends in a vowel or '''n'''. The eight position.tags can be thought of as a semantic expantion of '''fi'''. You normally use '''fi''' along with one of the position.tags. The nominative is unmarked. Also the nouns that follows all prepositions are unmarked ??? There is a special symbol given to each of these tags, that is in text, they are never spelled out phonetically but their special symbol is used. ==position.tags== Eight tags are front.stuck to nouns. '''bali''' = above '''keja''' = below '''fas''' = in front (i.e. this side of) '''cimo''' = behind (i.e. at the far side of) '''ni''' = on (covers about the same semantic space as English "on") '''tian''' = beside '''pi''' = in > '''pilia''' "to enter" ... '''pilyari''' "I entered" '''ompu''' = out > '''pilua''' "to exit" ... '''pilwari''' "I went out" There is a special symbol given to each of these tags, that is in text, they are never spelled out phonetically but their special symbol is used. ==motion verbs== '''na''' go '''pidwolo''' = (S/he goes into the house) '''na''' run '''pidwolo''' = (S/he runs into the house) "go" and "run" are considered "motion verbs" hence a change of position is assumed when they are used. When no change in position occurs with a "motion verb", the sentence must receive extra marking. i.e. '''na''' run '''pidwolof''' = (S/he runs in the house) cat jumped '''ni'''wall = The cat jumped onto the wall cat jumped '''ni'''wall'''f''' = The cat jumped on top of the wall (the English translation is actually ambiguous) "the cat jumped from the wall" would be meu jumped wall'''le''' or if you really wanted to pin the meaning down meu jumped '''ni'''wall'''le''' == When two nouns come together == ===attributive=== For the many situations in which one noun qualifies another and ownership isn't involved, we use the particle '''ta''' between the nouns. book '''ta mi''' = a book written by me ===possession=== As mentioned above the endtag '''-ge''' is translated by "of" in English. However -ge actually functions in a smaller range of situation than "of". In actual fact it is only used when "possession" is involved. For example;- book '''mige''' = my book (a book owned by me) ===inalienable possession=== '''yu''' = second person pronoun '''baba''' = father '''babayu''' = your father '''nogami''' = my leg As well as body parts and family members, also locations take the inalienable construction (Interesting fact - the words for "face" and "back", can be considered both body parts and locations. '''pi''' = the interior, the inside '''dwolo''' = house '''pidwolo''' = the interior of the house '''pidwolof''' = in the house === other associations === door '''ta''' room paper '''ta''' today table '''ta''' wood milk three litres milk '''ta''' can be used withiut a proceding noun. '''ta''' room = the one of the room '''ta''' today = the one of today '''ta''' wood = the one of wood '''ta hia''' = the red one '''tan hia''' = the red ones '''ta''' wood = the one made of wood '''tan''' '''pi'''boat'''fi''' = the ones in the boat '''ta mige''' = that one of mine '''tan mige''' = those ones of mine === two nouns together === In Seuna when to nouns come together, they can be translated into English with an "and" between them. (Same also for verbs). X Y Z.jwo = X and Y and Z X Y Z.ple = X or Y or Z When speaking a list, there is a definite pause between each item. '''jwo''' and '''ple''' are both clitics. Adposition is not allowed in Seuna - you can not have "Obama, the president" but must insert a '''ta''' between the two nouns, introducing the second element, in a relative clause. Similarly "William the Conqueror", Alexander the Great" Co-ordinative compounds ( motherfather = parents, swordspear = weapen, armleg =limb) when both words contribute equally to the compound. Called Dvandva in Sanskrit. My son, the doctor, went to town My son, the doctor, and I went to town ===compounds=== '''tolno.senai''' = windmill '''tolno.mose''' = watermill There are many compounds. The compounds are head final. More than 50% are attributive compounds. The same method of compounding is used for object incorporating in verbs. I hunt deer => I deer.hunt hand.make'''oi''' = handmade wife.beat'''gu''' = wifebeater [[Category:Seuna]] ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Word shape 4682 28634 2008-02-08T06:22:05Z Staigard 752 There are 17 distinctive consonants in Seuna. They are ;- '''p b t d k g m n s h f w y r l c''' and '''j''' "'''c'''" is used here to represent the initial sound in ''church''. "'''j'''" is used here to represent the initial sound in ''George''. All the other consonants take there usual English value, although under certain circumstances "'''s'''" is realized as "'''z'''", and "'''n"''' as "'''ŋ'''". "'''r'''" is exceptional in that it only occurs in suffixes attached to active verbs. There is no entry for it in the Seuna alphabet. There are 5 distinctive vowels in Seuna ... ''' i e a o u'''. Also there are 4 closing diphthongs '''ai au oi eu''' and the 2 opening diphthongs '''ia ua'''. A Seuna word may begin with one of the following consonants or consonant clusters ;- {| border=1 |align=center| '''@''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| '''m''' |align=center| '''my''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| '''y''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| ''' j''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| '''jw''' |- |align=center| '''f''' |align=center| '''fy''' |align=center| '''fl''' |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| '''b''' |align=center| '''by''' |align=center| '''bl''' |align=center| '''bw''' |- |align=center| '''g''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| '''gl''' |align=center| '''gw''' |- |align=center| '''d''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| '''dw''' |- |align=center| '''l''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| '''c''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| '''cw''' |- |align=center| '''s''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| '''s'''l |align=center| '''sw''' |- |align=center| '''k''' |align=center| '''ky''' |align=center| '''kl''' |align=center| '''kw''' |- |align=center| '''p''' |align=center| '''py''' |align=center| '''pl''' |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| '''t''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| '''tw''' |- |align=center| '''w''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| '''n''' |align=center| '''ny''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |- |align=center| '''h''' |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |align=center| &nbsp; |} In the terminology of Seuna, it is said that there are 37 possible "head-events". '''@''' actually stands for a missing consonant. That is the word actually begins with the following vowel. However Seuna has a symbol for this. A symbol is necessary because vowels are writen as small marks over the consonant symbol. When Seuna words are listed they can be ordered as above. That is in a Seuna dictionary you will have all words beginning with "'''@'''", followed by all words beginning with '''m''', then '''my''' then '''y''' etc. etc. After the "head-event" there is the "initial-span-sound". The 11 possible "initial-span-sounds" are '''au o oi i ia a ua u eu e ai''' Notice that no opening diphthongs allowed in this position. After the "initial-span-sound" we have what is called the "mid-event" There are 58 possible "mid-events", which are ;- '''m y j f b g d l c s k p''' '''t w n h ''' '''zm zy zb zg zd zl sk sp''' '''st zw zn''' '''lm ly lj lf lb lg ld lc ls lk lp''' '''lt lw ln lh''' '''ny nj nf mb ng nd nl nc ns nk mp''' '''nt mw nh''' '''ngw nkw''' After the "mid-event" we have what is called the "final-span-sound". There are the same as the "initial-span-sounds", namely ;- A I U E O AI AU OI EU IA UA Finally there can be two possible "tail-events". Theses are n and s. These are slightly anomalous in that they are used only for suffixes. The above constitutes what in SEUNA terminology is called a "word". Most concepts in Seuna are represented by a "word". Many particles (and a few concepts such as cat = MEU) are represented by shorter "sound-strings" (called "mini-words" in Seuna terminology), but the vast majority of concepts are represented by "words". So how many words are possible in Seuna ? Well if there was no restictions on what could occur together in a "word", we would have a total of 37 x 9 x 58 x 11 or 212,454 possible "words". However there are restrictions. (In the following discussion S represents any "unitary" "head-event" and KL any "head-event" cluster, similar representatives are taken for the other positions. X means any sound at all that is allowed in this slot) 1) A word can have at the most only two clusters. A cluster is a diphthong or two abutting consonants. This cuts thing down to 132,202 possible "words".

These classes differ as to how they are phonologically expressed. For example nouns must be of the form KL A X X or S AU X X or KL AU X X. Verbs must be of the form X X ND X and adjectives must be of the form S A G X. Note that there are many words (42,420) that can be both nouns or verbs. adjectives 14,960 nouns 7,572 verbs 81.690 noun & verb 42,420 2) LvL is disallowed i.e. "flolde" is not allowed 3) YI and WU are allowed but XYI and XWU are banned. "fumwua" is OK 4) A noun (also a Noun/verb) can not end in I An adjective can not end in U or UA ..... LITE = small, LITUA = smallness Some verbs can not end in O, (a Noun/verb can though ??) So we have out of a hundred :- 34 disallowed 23 verbs 13 nouns 15 nouns/verbs 15 adjectives ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Introduction to Seuna 4683 39740 2008-11-10T16:28:43Z Staigard 752 == Seuna is a work in progress. == == About Seuna == In its final form Seuna is seems to be quite a natural language. By that I mean that most of the grammar and the "patterns" in the language would not be considered out of place in any natural language. However Seuna, during its construction went though some stages that might not be considered so natural. At one stage the case of the nominative case was split into two cases depending upon whether the action was volitional or accidental, and the accusative case was split in two depending on whether the object was affected by the action or not. This sort of thing is not unknown in natural languages (in fact Dixon has written a book??? which covers this sort of thing)but I found that in Seuna that as different aspects of grammar affected each other, that Seuna took on the form of a bog standard nominative/accusative language. This is just one example of a process that was continually happening during the construction of Seuna. The shaping of Seuna can be compared to the shaping of a protein. This is basically a long chain molecule that takes on a very definite and complicated shape. The final shape is determined by a series of folding events that are initiated by the attractive and repulsive forces that the various links in the chain have for each other. In a similar way the final shape of Seuna was determined by the way that different grammatical patterns and phonological patterns either clashed with each other, or matched with each other through a number of successive revisions. Taking this analogy further : as I couldn't have any thought that is impossible (or too difficult to express) - the protein that I created was constrained never to have to much unfilled space within its physical limits while it was developing. It was an appreciation of the elegance of patterns within natural languages and the fascinating ways in which languages change shape through time that led to me constucting Seuna.

Remember that all the numbers in this section are in octal, even if not specifically marked as such. ==Zero== Seuna has a symbol for zero (actually similar to our "o" but a bit smaller). It is called '''nyegatuna''' (gap symbol). ==From 1 to 7== {| | '''@aba''' || '''@iga''' || '''@oda''' || '''@ela''' || '''@uca''' || '''@aisa''' || '''@auka''' |- | one || two || three || four || five || six || seven |} Seuna doesn't have separate symbols for the numbers 0 to 7, but instead uses letter symbols. Also a vertical slash is included. Every Seuna number must have a vertical slash. Unlike words which are written next to other words with no spaces between, a number must be separated by spaces on both sides. [[Image:Bitmap_31_Seuna.PNG]] ==From 10 to 77== {| border=1 |align=center| 10<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@abau''' |- |align=center| 20<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@igau''' |- |align=center| 30<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@odau''' |- |align=center| 40<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@elau''' |- |align=center| 50<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@ucau''' |- |align=center| 60<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@aisau''' |- |align=center| 70<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@aukau''' |} [[Image:Bitmap_42_Seuna.PNG]] Every two digit number (i.e. 10 to 77) has its own unique word which can be worked out quite easily. For example "twenty three" is pronounced as '''@igauda''' and written ;- [[Image:Bitmap_32_Seuna.PNG]] ==From 100 to 777== {| border=1 |align=center| 100<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@abai''' |- |align=center| 200<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@igai''' |- |align=center| 300<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@odai''' |- |align=center| 400<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@elai''' |- |align=center| 500<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@ucai''' |- |align=center| 600<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@aisai''' |- |align=center| 700<sub>8</sub> |align=center| '''@aukai''' |} The numbers 100 -> 700 are written similarly as the numbers 10 => 70 but with two zero's instead of one. . It wasn't thought necessary to illustrate them. As with two digit numbers, every three digit number (i.e. 100 to 777) has its own unique word which can be worked out quite easily, For example ;- '''@abaikauda''' = 173<sub>8</sub> [[Image:Bitmap_43_Seuna.PNG]] '''@ucaiba''' = 501<sub>8</sub> [[Image:Bitmap_33_Seuna.PNG]] There is also another equally valid (but rarely encountered) way to write 501. It is shown below. [[Image:Bitmap_34_Seuna.PNG]] The above form of "501" will be explained in the next section. ==From 1000 to 10<sup>36</sup>-1 == So far we have been able to express every number by one word. However numbers over 777 can not be so expressed. Numbers over 777 need at least one "rank" word as well. These words are a bit like our prefixes "kilo", "Mega", etc. However there are some differences in usage. In Seuna it would not be allowed to say 2,000 km, but you would have to say 2 Mm (two Mega meters). It would not be allowed to say 2,175 km but you would have to say 2 M 175 k m (two Mega one hundred and seventy five kilo meters). If the number has a high "dynamic range" it will need a number of "rank" words. The Seuns "rank" words are given below. {| border=1 |align=center| 8<sup>3</sup> |align=center| '''m''' |align=center| mu |- |align=center| 8<sup>6</sup> |align=center| '''y''' |align=center| yu |- |align=center| 8<sup>9</sup> |align=center| '''j''' |align=center| ju |- |align=center| 8<sup>12</sup> |align=center| '''f''' |align=center| fu |- |align=center| 8<sup>15</sup> |align=center| '''p''' |align=center| pu |- |align=center| 8<sup>18</sup> |align=center| '''t''' |align=center| tu |- |align=center| 8<sup>21</sup> |align=center| '''w''' |align=center| wu |- |align=center| 8<sup>24</sup> |align=center| '''n''' |align=center| nu |- |align=center| 8<sup>27</sup> |align=center| '''h''' |align=center| hu |} So for example;- The equatorial circumference of the earth would be given as '''@igaidau yu @aisaikauka mu @elaibaula''' meters * ( 230,677,414 <sub>8</sub>= 40,075,020<sub>10</sub>) [[Image:Bitmap_44_Seuna.PNG]] Note that the "rank" word is written as a vertical slash surmounted by a letter. Note also that we have a number word then a rank word then a number word ... and so on. * Of course the "meter" is not a Seuna unit of measurement. Seuna has its own units for all qualities. Numbers over 777 are called "rank numbers" Numbers from 1000 upto 10<sup>36</sup>-1 are more specifically called "first rank numbers". ==The vertical slash== The vertical slash that must come with all numbers, when unadorned with a superscript or a subscript, can function as a decimal point. Also when occurring at the left hand side of a number or in the middle of a number it is pronounced when speaking out the number. For example ;- [[Image:Bitmap_35_Seuna.PNG]] pronounced '''@iga feti @odai''' [[Image:Bitmap_36_Seuna.PNG]] pronounced '''feti @igaidau''' [[Image:Bitmap_45_Seuna.PNG]] pronounced '''@iga feti @odau''' [[Image:Bitmap_46_Seuna.PNG]] pronounced '''@iga feti @oda''' ('''feti''' means vertical) ==From 1 to 10<sup>-36</sup>-1== Of course there is also a way of representing numbers smaller than one, as well. The table below shows the "rank" words used for this. {| border=1 |align=center| 8<sup>-3</sup> |align=center| '''m''' |align=center| mi |- |align=center| 8<sup>-6</sup> |align=center| '''y''' |align=center| yi |- |align=center| 8<sup>-9</sup> |align=center| '''j''' |align=center| ji |- |align=center| 8<sup>-12</sup> |align=center| '''f''' |align=center| fi |- |align=center| 8<sup>-15</sup> |align=center| '''p''' |align=center| pi |- |align=center| 8<sup>-18</sup> |align=center| '''t''' |align=center| ti |- |align=center| 8<sup>-21</sup> |align=center| '''w''' |align=center| wi |- |align=center| 8<sup>-24</sup> |align=center| '''n''' |align=center| ni |- |align=center| 8<sup>-27</sup> |align=center| '''h''' |align=center| hi |} It is exactly the same system as for numbers upto 10<sup>36</sup>-1. Except this time the "rank" numbers are written as small letters under the '''feti'''. ==Ordinal numbers== Ordinal numbers are adjectives so come after the word that they qualify. Ordinal numbers are the same as cardinal numbers, except that the final "a" becomes an "i". '''@oda dwolo''' = three houses '''dwolo @odi''' = the third house ==Very very big numbers== The "rank" words are cycled round again to represent even bigger words. This range of numbers are known as the "second rank numbers". '''@igi''' of course means "second". For this second cycle of "rank" numbers, the vertical slash has a short horizontal bars about halfway up. {| border=1 |align=center| 8<sup>30</sup> |align=center| '''mu @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>33</sup> |align=center| '''yu @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>36</sup> |align=center| '''ju @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>39</sup> |align=center| '''fu @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>42</sup> |align=center| '''pu @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>45</sup> |align=center| '''tu @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>48</sup> |align=center| '''wu @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>51</sup> |align=center| '''nu @igi''' |- |align=center| 8<sup>54</sup> |align=center| '''hu @igi''' |} And there are rank numbers above this. 8<sup>57</sup> would be called '''mu @odi''' and written as the letter "m" over a vertical slash. The vertical slash having two sort horizontal bars about halfway up. ==Very very small numbers== These are expanded also. In the same manner as the very big numbers. ==Fractions== These are formed by the prefix '''sa'''. Probably derived from '''sai@u''' which means "part". {| border=1 |align=center| a half |align=center| '''sa@iga''' |- |align=center| a third |align=center| '''sa@oda''' |- |align=center| a fourth |align=center| '''sa@ela''' |- |align=center| a fifth |align=center| '''sa@uca''' |- |align=center| a sixth |align=center| '''sa@aisa''' |- |align=center| a seventh |align=center| '''sa@uaka''' |} [[Image:Bitmap_55_Seuna.PNG]] If it is a very big number that you want to convert, the LHS* edge of the number might be a "rank" number. '''sa''' can not be prefixed to "rank numbers" or '''feti'''. In these cases the word '''sa@aba''' is introduced as the LHS component of the number. * LHS = Left hand side. ==Nouns from numbers== klolo = wheel, klolaga = bicycle ?? kloli = vehicle ?? ==To show the exactness of a number== [[Image:Bitmap_39_Seuna.PNG]] Three symbols that when placed over "letters", represent vowels, are used to give some idea of the exactness of a number. The basic number above '''@oda mu @elai''' which we can say is "three thousand four hundred"(roughly). The first word has the "i" vowel symbol after it. It would be pronounced '''@oda mu @elai tiki''' ... '''tiki''' simple means "exactly" The second word has the "u" vowel symbol after it. It would be pronounced '''@oda mu @elai jubu''' ... '''jubu''' simple means "approximately". Note that this symbol is very similar to the symbol for zero. However as zero will never occur on the trailing edge of a number, there is no chance of misidentification. The third word has the "a" vowel symbol after it. It would be pronounced '''@oda mu @elaia''' . This expression denote the range of numbers from 3,400 => 3,477.77777 ... The fourth word would be pronounced '''@oda mu @elaicaua''' . This expression denote the range of numbers from 3,450 => 3,457.7777 ... When '''@oda mu @elaicaua''' is followed by the locative case clitic, it mean one number in the range 3,450 => 3,457.7777 ... ==Negatives numbers== A negative is represented by putting ??? , which means "down" or "downwards" after the number. It is represented by putting a sort of "v" sign under the '''feti'''. [[Image:Bitmap_51_Seuna.PNG]] If the '''feti''' also held a "rank number" underneath, then this "rank number" would go under the "v". ==Complex numbers== A bar sign indicates a complex number. The real part is to the left of the bar and the imaginary part is to the right of the bar. The imaginary part is pronounced by putting "side" or "sideways" before the number. [[Image:Bitmap_53_Seuna.PNG]] If there is no real part, then it is simply left out, and the bar is on the leftmost side of the number (imaginary number). [[Image:Bitmap_54_Seuna.PNG]] The above wound be pronounced as "side" "down" '''@oda feti @ucai'''. == Mathematical operations == === Addition === {|border=1 |align=centre|Western mathematical notation||Which is pronounced|| |- |align=centre|2 + 3 = 5||two and three is five|| |- |align=centre|Seuna mathematical notation||Which is pronounced|| |- |align=centre|2,3>5||'''aga ada ro aca'''|| |} === Subtraction === For subtraction, or addition which inviolves negative numbers, each number must be followed by either "forward" or "backward" depending upon whether the number is possitive or negative. === Multiplication === There is a particle '''je''' which is placed between words to be multiplied. {|border=1 |align=centre|Western mathematical notation||Which is pronounced|| |- |align=centre|2 x 3 = 5||two times three is five|| |- |align=centre|Seuna mathematical notation||Which is pronounced|| |- |align=centre|2+3>5||'''aga je ada ro aca'''|| |} === Division === 15 divided by 5 is 3 ............. 15 shared 3'''ji''' is 5 '''tonda''' means "to add" or "addition", and '''jemba''' means "to multiply" or "multiplication". ??? tondua = subtraction, jembua = division ??? ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Seuna demonstratives 4688 51020 2009-12-11T07:33:53Z Staigard 752 /* Cross-language trends */ ===Here and there=== {| border=1 |align=center| '''@onda''' |align=left| place |- |align=center| '''di''' |align=left| here, this place |- |align=center| '''de''' |align=left| there, that place |- |align=center| '''da''' |align=left| suffix * |} '''solbe''' = to drink, '''solbeda''' = a bar ===Determinatives=== Many languages have the form of their demonstrative pronoun (DP) and adnominal pronoun (AP) the same, and different from there demonstrative of place (DoP).* {| border=1 |align=center| |align=center| DP |align=center| |align=centre| AP |align=center| |align=centre| DoP |- |align=center| English - |align=center| this |align=center| = |align=centre| this |align=center| ǂ |align=centre| here |align=center| ---- |align=center| that |align=center| = |align=centre| that |align=center| ǂ |align=centre| there |- |align=center| Finnish - |align=center| tämä |align=centre| = |align=center| tämä |align=center| ǂ |align=centre| tässä |align=center| ---- |align=center| tuo |align=center| = |align=centre| tuo |align=center| ǂ |align=centre| tuossa |} Side note - actually the derivation of the Finnish word "tässä" is pretty obvious. The phrase "in this place" would be rendered in Finnish "this(in) place(in)" ... where (in) represents the inessive case suffix. The second part of this phrase was found unnecessary so we get simply "this(in)" meaning "here". "this(in)" is actually "tämässä" but a bit of word-erosion gets us to "tässä". Another side note - if we go far enough back we can see that "here" is also derived from "this". In Proto-Germanic "here" was "khir", which is *khi- (from PIE *ki- "this") + adverbial suffix -r. Seuna, has a differs from English and Finnish as is shown below. {| border=1 |align=center| |align=center| DP |align=center| |align=centre| AP |align=center| |align=centre| DoP |- |align=center| Seuna - |align=center| todi |align=center| ǂ |align=centre| di |align=center| = |align=centre| di |} * I can not find a fancy term that would include the words "here" and "there" so I have made one up myself ... DoP. ===Correlatives=== ==Totality== All languages have a word meaning "all" and a word meaning "every". (I am assuming here that "every" = "each". It makes things simpler) 1) "all" can be used to express totality of a mass noun ... i.e. all the water is polluted 2) "all" can be used to express totality of an object ... i.e. all the world 3) "all" can be used to express totality for members of a group ... i.e. all elephants have a trunk 4) "every" can be used to express individuality of members of a certain group ... i.e. The foreman must ensure that each operator has sufficient training to work safely. In example 3) the inclusiveness, togetherness, cohesion of the group is focused on. In example 4) the individuality, uniqueness of each member of a group is focused on. Now it can be seen in example 3) that the meaning could equally well be expressed as "every elephant has a trunk". In fact the majority of times we use "every" or "all" (maybe 80% of the times) it doesn't matter which one we use. But English tends to use "every" for these either-or-situations. Other languages go the opposite way and use "all" (or whatever the equivalent to "all" is in their language, of course) for these either-or-situations. For example Swedish or Arabic. Indonesian and Thai use "every" for these either-or-situations. "all" and "every" appear to be at either end of a continuum. However they do not mirror each others meaning or usage. For example in 1) and 2), "all" MUST be used. But at the other end of the spectrum there doesn't seen to be any 100% need to use "every". Instead there is an infinite number if situations with the importance of "individuality" varying for each one. In fact I tried to find a better example for 4) but couldn't (I settled for the above tho', because if "all" was used the meaning could have been "mean training" or "total training", which obviously wouldn't be enough to ensure safety). A final though ... because "every" is used in so many situations, it maybe "individuality" meaning has got a bit watered down. So now people use "each and every" when they want to focus the "individuality". Maybe this is what happened in Old English, the word ælc (modern each) was watered down so people started using æfre ælc (ever-each) which in time became "every". ===referring to facts and mini=narratives=== The basic meaning of '''to''' is "it". But it can not be used everywhere that the English "it" can be used. For example ... "It is good that you can walk again". The "it" in this sentence would be '''todi''' in Seuna. For something that has not yet been introduced '''todi''' is used. On the other hand if you were told "Peter can walk again" that you might reply "that is good". Seuna in this case follows the English pattern and you would use '''tode'''. So some fact or mini-narrative that has not as yet been introduced is referred to as '''todi''', and some fact or mini-narrative that has already been introduced is referred to a '''tode'''. When '''to''' is used alone it never refers to some fact or mini-narrative but always to an object (or animal). ===old stuff=== Sometimes the pronoun '''to''' can be used in places where "that" is used in English. For example if some people were discussing a house, and somebody says "I want to buy that house", "that house" would be '''to dwolo''' . The construction - '''to''' ''noun'' -can never be used before the ''noun'' has been introduced. ===Definiteness=== Seuna tends to assume definiteness or as they say in linguistic jargon "definiteness is unmarked". To express indefiniteness you use the particle '''sa'''. (i.e. you mark the noun as indefinite by putting the particle '''sa''' in front of it.) Side note - '''to''' and '''sa''' are part of a very small class of words that come before the noun. ===Demonstatives pronouns=== {| border=1 |align=center| '''to di''' |align=left| this |- |align=center| '''to de''' |align=left| that |} The demonstrative pronouns have a plural form. {| border=1 |align=center| '''ton di''' |align=left| these |- |align=center| '''ton de''' |align=left| those |} ===The non-demonstatives non-human pronoun=== {| border=1 |align=center| '''to''' |align=left| it, that (spoken of before) |- |align=center| '''ton''' |align=left| they, those (spoken of before) |} ===Other stuff=== '''sana''' = someone '''sato''' = something SA KI NA & KU other demonstratives ?? This set of particles form a logical group. SA KI NA KU are used for both nouns and verbs. They precede both. For nouns SA KI NA KU have the meaning "some", "no", "that" and "all". For verbs SA KI NA KU have the meaning "sometimes", "never", " --- " and "always". If used singly (for example with a single word reply) they must be immediately followed by the word "do" As - MAN IS THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS - when these particles are used alone, they have the meanings ;- SANA = somebody. some SATO = something KI = nobody KIA = nothing NA = he, she, it NIA = sequence of events just mentioned, NUA = sequence of events about to be mentioned KU = everybody KUA = everything HU = who HUA = what Note ;- SA = Does not indicate plurality, only indefiniteness. For plurality you must use the word ALKI. TI HU & SA set of particles form a group of word that are connected by usage. That is, many languages use the same word for two functions. It seems reasonable to assume that the word used for the interrogative function seeped into the indefinite function in some languages and into the indefinite function in other languages. We have a seperate word for the three functions. relative particles interrogatives indefinites relative particles interrogatives indefinites relative particles interrogatives indefinites TI HU SA When the interrogative conflates with the indefinite, they have to be kept seperate somehow. We must be able to express WHO DID IT and SOMEBODY DID IT.

Their functions include many of the ones associated with cases. In the table below all the noun suffixes are given. 0-11 are equivalent to what are described by "case" in many languages. {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" |0||Nominative: || '''-''' |- |1||Accusative: || '''-''' or '''-s''' |- |2||Genitive: || '''-n''' |- |3||Dative: || '''-mu''' |- |4||Ablative: || '''-da''' |- |5||Instrumental: || '''-li''' |- |6||Inessive: || '''-pi''' |- |7||Benefactive: || '''-go''' |- |8||Adessive: || '''-jai''' |- |9||Locative: || '''-teu''' |- |10||Partative: || '''-be''' |- |11||Abessive: || '''-lu''' |- |12||Essive: || '''-fau''' |- |13||"like/-ish": || '''-ca''' |- |14||"in the manner": || '''-koi''' |} ==Nominative== For the nominative case, just the bare noun is used. Just the bare noun is used following a preposition also. ==Accusative== For the accustive case, usually just the bare noun is used. However if the noun is definite, then the suffix '''s''' is added. ==Genitive== For the genitive, the suffix '''n''' is added. The main use of the genitive is to denotes ownership. However it is used in other situations as well. In fact is uses coincide pretty much with the uses of " 's" and "of" in English. In the situation were a clause is the subject or object of a sentence, the infinitive form of the verb comes first. Then the subject of the clause immeditely follows in the genitive. Then the object of the clause follows (if the clause has an object, of course). ==Dative== For the dative, the suffix '''mu''' is added. One of the main functions of the dative is to denote the indirect object of an action (that to which something is given, thrown, read, etc). It also indicates motion towards (as in English). This function is sometimes the "lative case", in some languages. A subset of this function involves time and is usually indicated by "until" in English. Another use of '''mu''' is 'in the eyes of, in the opinion of'. For example;- '''mimu re''' "very cold" = I am finding it very cold It is also used to indicate purpose. When used in this way it is appended to the infinitive form of the verb. For example;- '''kare humpamu''' = I am going to eat. '''tamu''' = in order to ? It is used with the object of certain verbs. For example;- '''?ari ?smu''' = I helped the prisoners ==Ablative== For the ablative, the suffix '''da''' is added. It indicates motion from something. A subset of this function involves time and is usually indicated by "since" in English. Must be appended to "that"? Since is usually followed by a clause? As with the dative (I got a present from my sister)(I was thrown a ball from my father)(I was read a book from my uncle) Another use of '''da''' is for comparison.For example;- '''na ro ? mida''' = He is taller than me. It is also used to indicate cause. When used in this way it is appended to the infinitive form of the verb. For example;- '''kare humpamu''' = I am going to eat. '''tada''' = because ?? stop fishing '''da''' ... DACA = away from? Another use (called the seperative in Latin) is "the bees kept the farmer from the honey in the hive" mark motion away from something kari London = I went to London ?ari Londonda = I came from London kari Londonmu = I went in the direction of London = I went towards London ==Locative== '''teu''' "at, near, by" "schoolTEU" = at school, "tuesdayTEU' = on tuesday. Combines with many preverbs to give relative locations. "out"'''teu dwolon'''= outside the house. etc. etc. ==Instrumental== '''li''' "with" ... instrumental, adverb forming, adjective forming "we went with friends", "to see with the eyes", "with care", "with great speed" saw.LI = with a saw(saw.JAI once considered), "I bought the doll for 25 baht" Could also be called the "comitative case". ==Inessive== '''pi''' "schoolPI = "in the school building" as opposed to the more usual term "schoolTEU" ==Benefactive== '''go''' "for""for the benefit of," or "intended for"... for bread ?? ==Adessive== '''jai''' "on, touching, incontact with, adjacent" contiguous with, about table.JAI = on the table, "I am talking about you lot", "He is a alcoholic", "He is in love" ==Partative== the partative case marker "five of them', "she drank from the milk", "I watched the news", "he searched for his screwdriver(and did not find it)" ... If instead of "BE", "S" is suffixed in the above sentence, then the meaning of each one changes quite a bit. ==Abessive== '''lu''' Equivalent to the English "without" or " -less". The same as '''li''' but opposite. She left the room without speaking. without buying. without caring. ==Essive== '''fau''' Called the essive case here because it is very close to the Finnish case which is called the essive. Usually expressed in English with "as". It denotes a temporary state. For example;- "I work as a waiter", "She replied in English"?? youngsterFAU = when I was a youth/in my youth/as a youngster, cubFAU big = considering it is a cub, it is big, as the city was captured we fled ?? In English it sometimes corresponds to "while" or "in the capacity of" According to SIL: Equative case is a case that expresses likeness or identity to the referent of the noun it marks. It can have meaning, such as as like, and in the capacity of. or even an "essive case", According to SIL: Essive case is a case that expresses the temporary state of the referent specified by a noun. =="like"== '''ca''' is used to make an adjective from a noun. Sometimes an adjective from another adjective. Sometimes a case-ending from another case ending. Can also be considered a noun in its own right? For example;- = humanoid = bluish '''tateuca'''= if denotes likeness or similarity, does not denote a temporary state as FAU does. =="in the manner"== '''koi''' Usually in Seuna the adjective comes directly after the noun. If an adjective comes directly after a verb it is an adverb qualifying that verb. However if '''koi''' is affixed to the adjective, it can be moved anywhere in the sentence and will be understood to be acting on the main verb of that sentence. It can also be suffixed to nouns to give an adverb. For example;- She behaves as a boy. He is dressed in European fashion. Stand like soldiers. To love as brethern. That boy acts like an emperor. Note that koi does not denote a generl likeness as '''ca''' does, but a likeness in relation to a particular action. ==Rubbish== @ If the noun is the subject of the sentence or follows a preposition. MU "to" ... MUTEU = upto, MUCHA = towards In the situation were a clause is the subject or object of a sentence, in the clause the verb is in its full/citation form (actually a verbal noun), the subject is marked with the genative and the object with MU. -NI equivalent to "to" or "for" i.e. comeARA HITANI xxS = I am coming in order to hit her ???? AN = reason, ANMU = in order to, ANDA = because {| cellspacing="5" style="border: 1px #aaa solid" |1||Illative: || '''pimu'''|"into" |- |2||Elative: || '''pida'''|"from out of" or "from the inside of" |- |3||Allative: || '''jaimu'''|"onto" |- |4||Ablative: || '''jaida'''|"from of off" |- |5||Nonamive: || '''teuca'''|"around about" or "if" |} '''dwolopida''' = "out of the house" "table"'''jaimu''' = "onto the table" The ablative in the above table is clearly different from the ablative in the first table...we need another fancy name. ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Azjherben 4692 46395 2009-06-23T22:20:32Z Tropylium 756 /* Websites */ no such category [[Image:ri.jpg]][[Image:pa.jpg]] pronounced "re'pa" Means "Did you see it?" ==Base Information== Created in 2006 to present day (2008-2009).

Furture present and past for all people. Even groups such as they we and even pronouns and groupings not in English. It is used in a different way than just the word am or are is in english. The sentence ( for example ) I want to eat an apple has to be in it. It sounds like this. (it is written of course, with Azjherbenix symbol characters ) On'gragen zou asple-jou. *On = I *Gragen = (to) be *zou = (to) want *asple = apple *-jou = a changer than changes nouns into there action and vice versa ===Use of the lazh=== ==Words== See [[Vocab]] ==Websites== *For more information look here: ** http://Azjherben.com ** http://Anspt.bravehost.com (Use above link) (( it just takes you to azjherben.com too )) *And for samples there should be many pages like: ** http://azjherben.com/samples.html ** http://azjherben.com/trans.html *Entries in other wikis are: **[http://wiki.unilang.org/Azjherben Unilang Azjherben] **[http://wiki.penguindeskjob.com/Azjherben Knee Quickie Azjherben] **[http://wiki.frath.net/azjherben Azjherben in Frath wiki] **[http://talideon.com/concultures/wiki/?doc=Azjherben The starting wiki] *Other: **[http://community.livejournal.com/conlangs Forum entrys] [[Category:Azjherben|*]] [[Category:Conlangs|*]] Category:Logogram Project 4693 28720 2008-02-11T20:17:14Z Ran 10 New page: [[Category:Collaborations]] [[Category:Collaborations]] Logogram Project 4694 28731 2008-02-11T21:04:07Z Ran 10 /* Participants */ The '''Logogram Project''' is a collaborative conscripting project that aims to derive, naturalistically, a logographic writing system for English. {{Logogram Project}} [http://www.spinnoff.com/zbb/viewtopic.php?t=26886 Original Proposal on ZBB] ==Introduction== In a nutshell, the idea is this: # A group of Japanese from our timeline is transported back in time to the ancient Levant # The Greeks learn writing from the Japanese instead of the Semites # The Romans still learn writing from the Greeks # English still adopts the Roman writing system The motivation for this is that, as Japanese has a two-layered logographic system that is the most complex system still in use in the world, it would be interesting to see how this system adapts itself if additional layers are tacked on to it. The English writing system, for example, would end up a mixture of Japanograms, Greekograms, Latinograms, Futharkograms, Normanograms, and syllabograms, all of which are subject to multiple readings originating in different languages, the sound changes of multiple languages, and the semantic drift of multiple languages, over two thousand years. How much complexity can we load into a writing system before it dies? There is no conlanging or alternate history involved &mdash; everything stays the same, except for the nature of the scripts being passed around. ==Process== The idea is to conduct the project as a relay: each stage of evolution is handled by two groups of people, each well-versed in one of the two involved languages. When each stage is reasonably complete, we move on to the next stage. For example, the first stage is carried out by a group well-versed in Japanese, and another group well-versed in Ancient Greek. The Japanese people provide detailed information on the Japanese writing system while the Ancient Greek people are in charge of deciding how to adapt the system to Ancient Greek. This is then continued with Greek-Latin, etc. etc. * Stage 1: Japanese to Ancient Greek * Stage 2: Ancient Greek to Old Italic and/or Latin * Stage 3a: Old Italic to Futhark and/or some sort of orthography for Old English * Stage 3b: Latin to Old French and/or Norman French * Stage 4: Old English and Norman French to Middle English * Stage 5: Middle English to Modern English ==Participants== People familiar with the following languages: * Japanese * Ancient Greek * Latin * Vulgar Latin * Norman French or Old French * Proto-Western-Germanic * Old English * Old Norse * Middle English ==Future Expansion== There are many possibilities for future expansion. Modern Greek and all of the modern Romance languages can be derived relatively easily from stages 1 and 2 respectively. It is possible to branch off with some extra work to all of the other Western languages (Germanic, western Slavic, Celtic, Hungarian, Finnish, Basque) between stages 2 and 4. Finally, it is possible to branch off from Stages 1 and 2 to create Cyrillograms, Coptograms, Gothograms, and Armenograms. [[Category:Logogram Project|*]] Logogram Project/Stage 1 4695 28735 2008-02-11T22:35:45Z Ran 10 {{Logogram Project}} == Idea Repository == === Variety of Japanese used? === We can be flexible between Modern and not-so-Modern Japanese. === Type of borrowing? === Ran's original proposal: Adapt to the historical fact that Ancient Greek does not contain any Japanese loans. The best scenario to follow is that the Ancient Greeks simply borrowed the idea of writing but were not heavily influenced by the Levantine Japanese otherwise. As such, it would be good if the Greeks could independently devise some (30% to 70%, depending on how things look) of the Greekograms based on what they already know about Japanograms and Sinograms. A good way to imagine this, I think, is to imagine that there is a group of Ancient Greeks, fully bilingual in Modern Japanese and Ancient Greek, but familiar with no writing system other than the Japanese one. They initially correspond with each other in Japanese, but soon they begin to switch to Ancient Greek by adapting ideas from the Japanese writing system. Their system is then learned by monolingual Ancient Greeks. The Japanese readings would drop away (Greek has no Japanese loans), while new Hellenograms arise to fill gaps and resolve ambiguities. A mature writing system soon emerges. The inventors would be heavily constrained by the quirks (or should I say features) of the Japanese writing system, such as: * A dual system: ** Logograms for content words and a large proportion of function words ** Syllabograms for the remaining function words, as well as inflectional affixes * Mismatch between the Logograms and actual morphemes ** One logogram can map to multiple morphemes ** One morpheme can map to multiple logograms ** One logogram can map to a sequence of morphemes ** One morpheme can map to a sequence of logograms * Crossovers -- Japanese syllabograms becoming Greek logograms, and Japanese logograms becoming Greek syllabograms, would of course make things even more interesting. For example, there is a Japanese "syllabogram" whose only use is to mark the direct object. Ancient Greek has an accusative case. Perhaps the Greeks would see the connection. The best analogy of the process of the Greeks inventing new Hellenograms based on the idea of Japanese characters is probably the obsolete Chu Nom script of Vietnam. Chu Nom made use of the principles of Chinese characters, as well as actual elements from Chinese characters, to create new characters for native Vietnamese morphemes. The following techniques can be used: * New pictograms can be drawn * Existing characters can be combined to express a combination of ideas in a single morpheme * 90% of Chinese characters are semantic-phonetic compounds. Most Chu Nom characters appear to have been made in the same way. In semantic-phonetic compounds, one half of the character is a "radical", which gives hint to its meaning, and another half is the "phonetic", giving hint to its pronunciation. For our Hellenograms, the radicals should be based on extant Japanese (Kanji) radicals, while the phonetics should ideally be based on the Greek pronunciations of adopted Japanograms and invented Greekograms. Ollock's suggestion: Just as a side note -- I don't have any historical background for it, but for Yeltax I built the Kedeke script starting with symbols for CV syllables that get arranged into blocks such that all but one of the symbols in the block (which can have up to three glyphs) will lose its vowel association. A similarly convoluted situation could work here -- one position is part of the onset + nucleus, another position is the coda, and clusters are resolved by breaking up the respective sub-blocks. Might also make for a very backward phonological theory for a while. === Division of Labor === Ran's original proposal: As far as division of labour and authoritativeness goes: The Japanese people are responsible and authoritative as to things like: * which character fits each meaning best * how a logogram or syllabogram should be pronounced in the original Japanese * the mechanics of the Japanese writing system * what each radical is generally used for * what kind of character-design makes intuitive sense The Ancient Greek people are responsible and authoritative as to things like: * what the Ancient Greek morphemes mean * the final say on how to design the Hellenograms and the Hellenographic script ** what radical to choose ** what phonetic to choose, and what principles should be used to assign phonetics to each Hellenogram ** (But please keep in mind that the designer of the script lives in the end of the Greek Dark Ages and would be literate in ONLY Japanese --- hence he would not know, say, what a phoneme is! So, please don't pull a hangul and dump the entire logographic script, that wouldn't be realistic nor fun at all =D) === Linear B === Yiuel mentions Linear B as another possible source of logograms and syllabograms. [[Category:Logogram Project|1]] Logogram Project/Stage 2 4696 28730 2008-02-11T21:02:21Z Ran 10 {{Logogram Project}} Zompist's suggestion: Here's an idea for another insane complication though: perhaps Claudius (who actually tried to reform the Latin spelling system) invented a hankul-like method of forming syllabograms from the kana. These were then reinterpreted as new logograms by the French and Normans-- that is, they graphically evolved as syllables, not as combinations of kana.

At first, nouns do not have gender, but have case to them. The case in which nouns fall into is rather simple and straight-forward. My demonstrating word will be kečat (meaning dog). The default or dictionary form of a word is always in the nominative singular. Nominative Singular: kečat Plural: kečati Genitive Singular: kečatu Plural: kečatun Accusative Singular: kečaten Plural: kečatenen As you may not have noticed endings are put regardless the last letter of the word. Some prepositions that might be useful: With – behet For – hamaţ To – vёx On -- boyengaç == Verbs || Balti == The verbs in Musmeh follow a distinct structure. First, when written in a dictionary form, every verb is written in its infinitive form. The verb that we will use to demonstrate is ezmakur meaning to feel. As you see, the ur is the infinitive stem adding the “to” preposition to the meaning, its pretty straightforward. Personal Pronouns I – vёs You – dёn He – en She – an It – on We – vёsi You(formal) – dune They – ex Present Tense I feel – vёs ezmakёm You feel – dёn ezmakus He/she/it feels – en/an/on ezmakut We feel – vёsi ezmakim You(plural) feel – dune ezmaksus They feel – ex ezmakuç Imperfect – a similar structure to English exists, the word is formated as a present tense word, but the perfect form of the word “to be” is placed before the verb (as a separate word) respectively. Future – a similar structure to English exists, the word is formated as a present tense word, but the future form of the word “to be” is placed before the verb (as a separate word) respectively. Perfect I felt -- vёs ezmakom You felt – dёn ezmakous He/she/it felt – en/an/on ezmakot We felt – vёsi ezmakoem You(plural) felt – dune ezmakosus They felt – ex ezmakouç Plu-Perfect I had felt – vёs ezmakolёm You had felt – dёn ezmakolus He/she/it had felt – en/an/on ezmakolut We felt – vёsi ezmakolem You(plural) felt – dune ezmakolsus They felt – ex ezmakoluç There are no irregular verbs in the language of Musmeh. Helpful Verbs: To be – vur Will be - ţuqur To like – selmaţur To greet – saxanashur To have – dunvur To talk – oqçolur To eat – pevegeshur To know – yelqapur To do -- ёtur == More Pronouns || Gonshac Saqsozardami == Possessive Pronouns: The construction of possessive pronouns is a simple task. Let’s say you have the pronoun dun (you). To make it possessive you have to add the ça ending thus making it dunça (yours). You perform the same task to the other pronouns respectively. == Style, Numbers, and More || Fenţar, Hamashliki, ё Gonţar == A typical sentence follows the same word order as English, subject – verb – adjective. However, word order in speech is free to an extent. The boy was late. Daxa vot sonvan. Here is a scenario, you have a question stating, do you eat? Since the “do” is a question word here (its behind the subject) you would use the infinitive form. However if the question states was, you do eat, the form of do would conform to “you.” In negating a question, I do not speak Musmeh, you would had a “na” after the “do” to negate it. It is important to realize that in the few cases like “vёs” where vowels are lacking, “ё” is required to be inserted so pronounciation is constant. Once you see enough examples, you will be more aquainted in the certain situations where “ё” is used. Punctuation: The punctuation in Musmeh is period(.), comma(,), exclamation point (!), question mark (?). However, in the plural genetive there is a (‘) sign to the last letter of that noun. Numbers: 1 – ёn 2 – dva 3 – ţi 4 –četre 5 – hinsa 6 – sinç 7 – sent 8 – ut 9 – xin 10 – dёv Question Words How? – nahat? When? – hax? Where? – uţar? Who? – ev? What? – ёla? Why? – veţe? Since Musmeh is not frequently spoken I will pardon the time to discuss the specifics of spoken Musmeh. Speaking Musmeh is the same in relationship to reading Musmeh, but sometimes like in all languages word order can be switched around more easily in speech. == Phrases || Artyesi == *You questions are written in the formal tense because that’s how you would greet somebody you did not know Good day – Bevdaba Hello – Gaba Goodbye -- Nastadon Yes – Ţa No – Ne Nothing – noqoč Good – liyev Bad -- xapan How are you – Nahat vuç dun?

After the death of the great king, Mus, the Musmeh people were left with a great empire, the expansive lands and area, are called today “Greater Muskat.” A series of Kings ruled Muskat and many wars left “Greater Muskat” in shambles. Plagues and rebellions spread through the Musmeh Kingdom. After much time of disarray and misery in the Musmeh Kingdom, a group of reformers organized an overthrow of the government and the execution of the king. A series of clashes and battles confirmed the brutality and violence of the revolution. However, the group successfully overthrew the government, beheaded the king, and took over the Musmeh Kingdom. The new government declared the Musmeh Kingdom a republic, and went on to name it “The Republic of Muskat.” The economical situation improved, and the Musmeh people saw a better future in front of them. However, the government took part in funding “secret police” to execute anybody that was a threat to the republic. A series of executions, with out trial, and brutality existed. However, as years passed reforms were passed to stop these executions and expand personal freedom in the state. With this personal freedom, the “Revolutionary Party of Muskat” was formed and quickly became the top political party in Muskat. They advocated violence and brutality in re-acquiring “Greater Muskat” and replacing the government with “pure” Musmeh. The dominant political party that is in control of the government is the republican party of Muskat which advocates peace and socialist agenda. Tensions are high between the two parties as their ideologies differ so much. Now the republic is in peace and stability, but an overthrow of the government by the revolutionaries might spark a series of battles with the neighbors of Muskat. == Culture | Mёxaţir == The culture of the Musmeh people can be described as closer to the cultures of the Caucus Region. They love dance, literature, and history. The Musmeh people are also deeply involved in politics and are always aware of the affairs of the state. The Musmeh people also love and greatly respect their traditions and history, and on holidays can be seen wearing traditional clothes.

I also made it into a [http://semeb.com/dpldemo/index.php?title=Dynamic_Page_List DPL] list of pages that are members of [[:Category:Conlangs]] (but not ATM its subcategories). That way it becomes easier to maintain and more democratic, in that everyone decides for themselves if their page should belong to [[Category:Conlangs]] and thus be included in the list. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 04:27, 13 February 2008 (PST) : I did not delete your conlang from the list; the list is automatically generated and shows all pages that are tagged with <code><nowiki>[[Category:Conlang]]</nowiki></code> or now also one of its sub-categories. You just need to put <code><nowiki>[[Category:Conlang]]</nowiki></code> somewhere in the page about your conlang. I'll do it for you.

The vowel system, the long and short vowels, the pitch accent, all seems rather reminiscent of Japanese. Of course, the phonotactics aren't Japanese at all. In any case, given the following claims made by Wikipedia about the Classical Period: * All the plosives are still intact, including the aspirated ones * The spiritus asper is pronounced, etc. * The various vowel letters and digraphs actually reflect real phonemic differences * etc. It seems that the Japanese vowels click themselves into place (but not the consonants): (Vowels) {| | a |あ | aa |ああ | ai |あい | au |あう | aai |ああい | | |- | e |え | ee |ええ | ei |えい | eu |えう | eei |ええい | eeu |ええう |- | i |い | ii |いい | | | | | | | | |- | o |お | oo |おお | oi |おい | ou |おう | ooi |おおい | | |- | u |う | uu |うう | ui |うい | | | | | | |} (Consonants) {| |p |ぱぴぷぺぽ |b |ばびぶべぼ |ph |ぱは ぴひ ぷふ ぺへ ぽほ |- |t |たちつてと |d |だぢづでど |th |たは ちひ つふ てへ とほ |- |k |かきくけこ |g |がぎぐげご |kh |かは きひ くふ けへ こほ |- |m |まみむめも |n |なにぬねの | | |- |r |らりるれろ |l |らりるれろ? |- |s |さしすせそ |(z?) |ざじずぜぞ |zd |ずだ ずぢ ずづ ずで ずど |- |h |はひふへほ |} Zeta-row --> use Japanese ざ row or ずだ digraph?

I'm inclined towards finding some excuse to keep both. -- [[User:Ran|Ran]] 19:04, 13 February 2008 (PST) :I'm not sure if it's okay for me to just leap in like this, or even if the project is still active, but I have a number of observations and suggestions: :*How about using the -u katakana for final consonants and clusters? Thus ανθρωπος would come out as 「あんツ゜ろおほス」. Another option might be to adopt some hentaigana for this purpose. :*The 'Ionian alphabet' seems to make the most sense, but I'd be tempted to try to add ψ, ζ, ξ as extra modified versions (in addition to dakuten and handakuten) of the π-, τ- and κ-rows, respectively, since they palpably form a series, particularly in earlier forms of the language when ζ was still an affricate. :*If the Japanese script were adopted at the same time as the Phoenician one was adopted *here*, then the language would have been at a stage where digamma (capital Ϝ, minuscule ϝ, pronounced /w/) still existed, so that (for example) οἰνος ('wine') would have been ϝοινος (woinos). This phoneme had died out by the Classical period, and the letter with it, but it would certainly be an interesting complication to the system if the script retained an (unpronounced) distinction between わゐ?ゑを (with digamma) and あいうえお (without), so that (ϝ)οἰνος would be rendered をいのス rather than おいのス.

Abuda is a province of the Malaba Empire, located in the central south of the nation. Previously, it had been under Polizeih control, and had fostered the most liberal interpretations of the [[Polizeih Sect|Polizeih]] faith throughout the history of the Polisah-based Polizeih Theocracy. While the Polizeih populace was the sole portion of the Polizeih granted amnesty and permitted to remain on their land, with their possessions intact, within a few years of the Polizeih expulsion, the majority fell target to a systematic cultural genocide, which resulted in the absorption of their number into the Malaba portion of the Abudate population, or the resultant exile into the Kang-Eur lands, which almost invariably led to a violent death in the midst of the mass genocide (See: [[Polizeih Sect#Tumultuous Era: 7350-7500|Tumultuous Era]]) Conlang Relay 15 4772 40692 2008-12-10T21:20:08Z PeteBleackley 179 ==The Dancing Out Of Time Relay== Conlang Relay 15 started on March 31st, 2008.

The system was widespread in the Western classical world, spread via the cultural and trading influence of the Areth, but use of the Arithide symbols waned with the rise of the (relatively simpler) [[Carabaean numerals]] at the turn of the first millenium [[CIE]], and its subsequent introduction into [[Arithia]] itself. ==Development of positional notation== as a result of the efforts of military mathematicians commissioned to invent a ==Cardinals & ordinals== ==Numeric symbols== {{main|Classical Arithide numerals}} ==Constructing numbers== ==Usage== ===Years=== ===Music=== ===Listing=== ==See also== {{stub}} Classical Arithide numerals 4774 29422 2008-02-29T01:52:12Z Denihilonihil 119 '''[[Classical Arithide]] numerals''' are symbols within the orthography of the Classical Arithide language used for dedicated graphical representation of digits and numbers. These symbols developed first for use within the additive-multiplicative framework of the [[Arithide numeral system]] of the classical world, and were later adapted for use in positional notation.

In fact, quite a number of them even can work as adpositions or linked verbs (whatever we wish to analyze them as - the usual difference being that linked verbs can occur as postpositions). *There are no visible morphological signs that would give away what function a specific word has in a sentence - syntax and intonation convey this information. =Phonology= *'''Vowels''' '''a''' = /a/ '''o''' = /o/ '''u''' = /u/ '''`''' = /?/ Between vowels and [@] between consonants *'''Plosives''' '''t''' = /t/ '''d''' = /d/ '''k''' = /k/ '''g''' = /g/ '''q''' = /q/ (or [X] as a final) *'''Affricates''' '''j''' = [tS] or [dZ] or /Z/ (These variations are dialectal, /Z/ being most common) *'''Nasals''' '''m''' = /m/ '''n''' = /n/ '''ng''' = /N/ *'''Trills''' '''r''' = /r/ or the Approximant [r\] *'''Fricatives''' '''h''' = /h/ '''tl''' = /t_K/ *'''Approximants''' '''l''' = /l/ '''y''' = /j/ and '''u''' = [w] before /a/ ==Phonotactics== Qatama phonotactics are very easy because all of the words are formed by predictable syllables. [[Image:Qutan.GIF|300px]] *Only an '''o''' syllable can precede another '''o''' syllable, so where '''omoq''' is correct, ''amoq'' would be incorrect. *Note that '''o''' can not immediately precede an '''l''', so where '''mal''' and '''mul''' are correct, ''mol'' is not. =Dialects= The most recognizable dialect is [[Tam`q]]. Described by Qatama scholar [http://www.spinnoff.com/zbb/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=367 Nor] =Syntax= ==Word order== Unlike English, word order in Qatama is object-verb-subject. *object -- verb -- subject :'''tamu kojra al mung''' ::"''[the] house love the woman''" = The woman loves the house. *Questions are formed by adding the interrogative particle '''qa''' to the end of declarative statements. **object -- verb -- subject -- '''qa''' :'''tamu kojra al mung qa''' ::"''[the] house love the woman INT-PART''" = Does the woman loves the house? *particles -- noun -- adjectives :'''al tamu taha''' ::"''the house big''" = The big house. *adverbs -- auxiliaries -- verb :'''noj muna kuj gun ta''' ::"''with care must walk I''" = I must walk carefully. ==Dependent Clauses== *Dependent clauses are handled by placing the particle '''ruq''' before the clause and '''ra''' after. *I met a man and a woman yesterday. The woman, ''who had a thick black hair'', was very pretty. **'''kang ma mung ngumaq ko`oga ta | al mung ruq unuq ohada ma oga kura na ra ung t`ha aya''' ***''man and woman yesterday to-meet 1SG | ART woman general-clause-particle-initial hair thick and black to-have 3SG general-clause-particle-final PAST very pretty/beautiful'' *I met two women yesterday, one with thick black hair and one with soft brown hair. The woman ''who had a thick black hair'' was very pretty. **'''mung to ngumaq ko`oga ta ruq noj unuq ohada ma oga ong ma noj unuq ayuha ma myoga ong ra | al mung ruq unuq ohada ma oga kura na ra ung t`ha aya''' ***''woman two yesterday to-meet 1SG general-clause-particle-initial with hair thick and black one an with hair soft and brown one general-clause-particle-final | ART woman general-clause-particle-initial hair thick and black to-have 3SG general-clause-particle-final PAST very pretty/beautiful'' =Plurals= *The particle '''uj''' is placed in front of nouns to mark plurality. *When '''uj''' is present there is no other particle/article used. *Adjectives are not pluralized. *'''kama''' -- village | '''al kama''' -- the village | '''uj kama''' -- the villages =Demonstratives= *'''Qatama''' demonstratives do change depending on number, but not gender. ==As pronouns== **this -- '''kun''' ***I like this. -- '''kun koj ta''' **that -- '''nuq''' ***Is that yours? -- '''nuq m`ga qa''' **these -- '''qunju''' ***Where are these from? -- '''moq qunju aj qa''' **those -- '''nuja''' ***My father gave me those. -- '''nuja naj ta ung kura kangha m`ta''' **that which -- '''nuda''' ***I have what he wanted. -- '''ung nung nada nuda kura ta''' **those which -- '''nujada''' ***She will give you what [those things] you want. -- '''nujada nung ga uq gaya na''' ==As subordinators== :''He hopes you proceed with the speech'' ::'''muaha ga noj al mutara kanuj nada''' :''He hopes '''that''' you proceed with the speech'' ::'''muaha ga nuq noj al mutara kanuj nada''' =Adjectives= Adjective always follow the word they modify in Qatama. *'''al tamu taha''' -- The big house. =Articles= Qatama makes use of several articles that could be analyzed as particles. *'''al''' - This is used as both definite and indefinite, but could also be thought of as particle that marks words as nouns. :'''m`ja''' -- n. blood, v. to bleed | '''m`ja ongo ta''' = I see bleeding | '''al m`ja ongo ta''' = I see (the) blood. *'''o''' - This is an honorific article used to show respect for the concept or topic being referred to. :'''al kang''' -- The man. | '''o kang''' The (honorable/respected) man. *'''oyo''' - This is a diminutive article used to show a lack of importance, disdain or malice toward the concept or topic being referred to, often accompanied by profanity or vulgarity. :'''oyo tamu q`na''' -- The[that] shitty shack. *'''um''' - This is an emphatic article is used to show immediacy or importance of the concept or topic being referred to. It is often used in imperatives. :'''goku al tamu''' -- The house burns./The house is burning. | '''goku um tamu''' -- The house is burning! :'''kya mada naj um kama''' -- Come (back) to the village! =Questions= *Questions are asked using the interrogatory particle '''qa''', always placed at the end of a phrase. *Qatama does not ask questions the same way as English. *The syntax of a question is exactly the same as a declarative statement. *There are no interrogatives such as who, what, or when in Qatama. *Questions are asked by placing the desired result as the object and placing '''qa''' at the end of what would normally be a statement. *'''tamu kojra al mung''' | "[the] house love the woman" = The woman loves the house. :'''tamu kojra al mung qa''' | "[the] house love the woman [interrogative]" = Does the woman loves the house? [[Image:Alqa.GIF|center|thumb|350px|uj kuja aj Qatama]] =Tense= There are five basic tenses in Qatama. The tense particle is always placed immediately before the verb it modifies. *Negative Past :'''ungla''' - '''al tajala ungla gaq taka''' - We did not eat the sauce. *Past :'''ung''' - '''al tamu ung qal nara''' - They built the home. *Simple Present :The simple present tense isn't marked. '''naj al daq gun nada''' - He is walking toward the mountain. *Negative Future :'''uqla''' - '''ga uqla ongo naya''' - She will not see you. *Future :'''uq''' - '''m`ta uq muq na''' - It will be mine. The tense need not be marked if it is clearly indicated by another word in the same phrase: '''kumaq kuda na''', He cooks(prepare food) (will cook) tomorrow. =Pronouns= Qatama pronouns ('''uj uta''') are fairly straightforward. [[Image:Pronouns.GIF]] *Note that the polite form of the 2nd person is used in both singular and plural. *The 3PLM and 3PLF do not have possessive forms. *It is important to use the correct form of the 1PL, inclusive and exclusive. *The reflexive of any pronoun is formed by placing '''ayu''' after it. :I built it myself. -- '''na ung qal ta ayu''' | Will you prepare it yourself? -- '''na uq udaq gahan ayu qa''' =Imperatives= There are four distinct imperatives in Qatama. *'''kya''' -- general imperative, always placed in front of the verb phrase :'''kya naj tamu m`ga mua''' -- Go to your home! ::'''kya muta''' -- Speak [to me]! *'''gya''' -- used specifically for the demand of an item, i.e. to give :'''gya al ujla''' -- Give the knife [up / to me]! *'''kyo''' -- used specifically to demand silence :'''kyo''' -- Quiet! ::'''kyo muq''' -- Stand quietly! *'''kyala''' -- general negative imperative, always placed in front of the verb phrase :'''kyala naj ta muta''' -- Do not talk to me! *Where '''kyo''' or '''gya''' are used '''kya''' is not. =Semantic Morphology= *Semantic Morphology is not as prevalent in Qatama as it is in other languages, but there is a semi-constant them that runs throughout a portion of the lexicon. *What is important to remember is that not every time you see one of these particular syllables does it change the word in a consistent, predictable way. =='''-ha'''== *Appended to; :*'''m''' - often indicates the augmentative :*'''n''' - often used to create an obscure relation :*'''ng''' - often indicates the augmentative :*'''l''' - often used to create a related lexical entry :*'''r''' - often used to create a related lexical entry =='''-la'''== *Appended to; :*'''q''' - often indicates negation or opposition :*'''m''' - often used to create an obscure relation :*'''ng''' - often indicates negation or opposition :*'''j''' - often used to create a related lexical entry =='''-ra'''== *Appended to; :*'''q''' - often indicates a close semantic relation :*'''m''' - often used to create an obscure relation :*'''ng''' - often indicates an extreme relation to the base root :*'''j''' - often used to create a related lexical entry [[Category:Qatama]] File:Qutan.GIF 4781 29447 2008-03-02T05:00:49Z Qang 1187 created by Qang created by Qang File:Alqa.GIF 4782 29448 2008-03-02T05:01:07Z Qang 1187 File:Pronouns.GIF 4783 29449 2008-03-02T05:01:21Z Qang 1187 Template:Qatama 4784 29450 2008-03-02T05:02:49Z Qang 1187 New page: <div align="center">''This article is one of many about '''[[:Category:Qatama|Qatama]]''' [[Image:Mooj2.png|center|75px|[[Qatama]] in [[Moj]]]].''</div>[[Category:Qatama]] <div align="center">''This article is one of many about '''[[:Category:Qatama|Qatama]]''' [[Image:Mooj2.png|center|75px|[[Qatama]] in [[Moj]]]].''</div>[[Category:Qatama]] Tam`q 4785 29451 2008-03-02T05:03:42Z Qang 1187 New page: {{Qatama}} '''SQ''' = Standard Qatama '''TQ''' = Tam’q Qatama [[Category:Qatama]] =Phonology= ==Consonants== <table> <tr> <th></th> <th>Labial</th> <th colspan=2>Coronal</th> <t... {{Qatama}} '''SQ''' = Standard Qatama '''TQ''' = Tam’q Qatama [[Category:Qatama]] =Phonology= ==Consonants== <table> <tr> <th></th> <th>Labial</th> <th colspan=2>Coronal</th> <th>Palatal</th> <th colspan=2>Dorsal</th> </tr> <tr> <th align=right>Stops</th> <td align=center></td> <td align=center>t</td> <td align=center>d</td> <td align=center></td> <td align=center>k</td> <td align=center>g</td> </tr> <tr> <th align=right>Nasals</th> <td align=center>m</td> <td align=center colspan=2>n</td> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2>ŋ</td> </tr> <tr> <th align=right>Approximants</th> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2>l</td> <td align=center>j</td> <td align=center colspan=2></td> </tr> <tr> <th align=right>Fricatives</th> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2>ʃ ~ ʒ</td> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2>χ ~ ʁ</td> </tr> <tr> <th align=right>Affricates</th> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2>(t)ʃ</td> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2></td> </tr> <tr> <th align=right>Trills</th> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2>r ~ ɾ</td> <td align=center></td> <td align=center colspan=2></td> </tr> </table> SQ onset /q/ has merged with /k/. TQ /χ/ subsumes SQ coda /q/, /h/ and /ʔ/. /χ/ still has a vocalic allophone [ə] between consonants. Between vowels, /χ/ becomes [ʁ]. The realization of /k/ and /g/ depends on its position within the word and whether or not the syllable is stressed. /k/ is [g] if word-internal and unstressed, and /g/ becomes [Ø] if word-internal and unstressed. This usually results in allophonic diphthongs or long vowels. Unstressed intervocalic /t/ becomes [d]. SQ /tɬ/ has become /(t)ʃ/. [ʃ] is also an allophone of [ʒ] preceding voiceless consonants. Syllables with /k/, /g/, /m/ + /j/, /w/ lose their initial consonant. The /l/ in the definite article /al/ is assimilated if the following word begins with a coronal consonant. SQ /ʒr/ is often realized as [ʒ:]. ==Vowels== <table> <tr> <th>Front</th> <th>Back</th> </tr> <tr> <td>a</td> <td>u</td> </tr> </table> SQ /o/ has merged with /u/.

[[Moj]] and the [[Qatama]] [[conlang]] were invented by [[User:Qang|Qang]] for use in his [[conworld]], [[Qatama]]. It was first created in mid 1999 and has slowly developed to its current form. ==Notable features== *Moj is written from left to right in horizontal lines, it may also be written vertically from top to bottom. *The word moj not only refers to the script but also means "to write" in [[Qatama]]. *Moj was inspired by the [[Tibetan]], [[Klingon]], and Masonic [[script|writing systems]]. *Moj contains 14 consonants, 4 vowel diacritics and 2 vowel carriers. ==Moj consonants== [[Image:Moj cons2.png]] ==Moj vowels== [[Image:Moj vwl2.png]] *The vowel carriers are used when a vowel begins a word or for diphthongs. *The vowel carriers are not used when the script is written vertically. *There is no punctuation used in [[Qatama]], pauses, stops and questions are understood through the use of context and particles. *The three different pronunciations of <'''j'''> are dialectal in [[Qatama]]. ==Moj numerals== [[Image:Moj num2.png]] Higher numbers are constructed as follows: [[Image:Moj_num3.gif]] ==Moj sample== [[Image:Moj sample2.png]] ==The Mogua== [[Image:Mogua1.PNG]] *This is something I call '''mogua''', it's a play on '''moj''' (writing system) + '''gua''' (face), if you look closely, every grapheme of '''Moj''' can be made with a combination of these brush strokes.

Most Qatama have either green or grey eyes and there are cases of blue and even light orange. The typical Qatama lives to be about 100 years old with noticeable physical degradation only late in life. Around the age of 70-75 a Qatamas hair begins to turn dark gray it is then they are declared Elders. Qatama men usually have brown or black hair while most women only have black hair. Men are almost always bearded in some fashion. =Likes, Dislikes= Above all, the Qatama are reasonable and rational. Most humans would consider the Qatama cruel and uncaring, this is partially true. The Qatama view emotions as a weakness. They have emotions but completely control them through rigid discipline. If one were to look into a Qatama soul, one would see calm hate, controlled anger and rigid uncaring nonchalance. Qatama have been known to torture, kill nonchalantly and throw prisoners to hungry animals. It is also very common for Qatama men to fight in public over a disagreement; however this is usually done after much drinking. =Religion, Legends, Myths= Stories of the "ancient ones", the first few generations of Qatama, have been passed down. Such tales form the backbone of their oral tradition and religious belief. Their religion is focused on a form of ancestor worship. The Qatama worship ancient generations, the great early generations that made the ground tremble with their step and the world tremble with fear. The Qatama revere Nature and the natural order of things. They believe the world is a living thing, to be protected and loved. In turn, the world provides. They will hunt only for meat and skins, but never for pleasure. They will not cut down trees for lumber, but will use wood from a tree which has fallen naturally. They use stones from fields, but will not quarry stone from rocky cliffs. =Regions, Boundaries= The Main continent is the only native region of the Qatama. Thousands of small villages dot the landscape of which about twenty or so communities are large enough to be called cities and governors loyal to the emperor control each of these. The Main continent is considered holy land, spiritual above all other lands on the planet, and is also considered to be the center of the world by the Qatama. Few resources exist on the main continent to be exploited. This is fine with the Qatama for they have little desire to trade with outside cultures. To compensate for the climate and lack of natural wealth, this culture relies heavily on hard work, ingenious agricultural techniques, animal husbandry and of course... war. ==Realms and Regions== There are five realms that make up the Qatama Empire. *'''Anaha''', which encompasses [[Qatama_Culture#Tanaq|Tanaq]], Anam and Aramun. It is ruled by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Muhaj.png Muhaj] clan, of the Qatam tribe, and is considered the center of the Empire. *'''Gomoq''', which encompasses '''Godoqra''' and the Northeast portion of the mainland. It is ruled by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Damaq.png Damaq] clan, of the Guang tribe, and is considered the coldest realm of the Empire. *'''Katala''', which encompasses '''Katlaq''' and the Southwest portion of the mainland. It is ruled by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Gutan.png Gutan] clan, of the Qatam tribe, and is considered the forest of the Empire. *'''Qutamya''', which encompasses [[Qatama_Culture#Qutam|Qutam]], and the Northwest portion of the mainland. It is ruled by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Alhaj.png Alhaj] clan, of the Ajra tribe, and is considered the desert of the Empire. *'''Mujra''', which encompasses [[Qatama_Culture#Mujara|Mujara]], and the Southwest portion of the mainland. It is ruled by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Tlang.png Tlang] clan, of the [[Tam`q]] tribe, and is considered the seaport of the Empire. =Community Sizes= There are no sub-races of the Qatama. All Qatama are of the same race with virtually no physical or cultural differentiation. Community sizes vary from several hundred to several thousand. Villages are sparsely scattered and immobile. =Language, Alphabet= The central language of the Qatam people is the [[Qatama]] language. Due to the Qatama cultural purity, Qatama is linguistically unique. It is sometimes considered difficult to translate complex ideas or culture specific ideas into or out of Qatama. There are 3 primary, distinct writing systems used throughout the Empire by various social and tribal groups. These primary writing systems are; [[Moj]], used by the imperial government and the military and most Qatam, [[Ajan]], used primarily by spiritual leaders for religious texts and the [[Ajra]] tribe, and [[Uyata]], often used in commerce and businessand is also favored by the [[Tam`q]] tribe. Reading and writing is very prevalent among the population. In fact, most of their history is textual in nature rather than verbally recited. Historical records are common and accurate. This stems from the Qatama custom of keeping a personal journal. Literature and poetry is extensive as these are considered intellectually enlightening. Drawing and painting are often limited because pigments, canvas and other more delicate art supplies can be difficult to obtain and protect in the harsh Qatama environments. =Trade, Alliances= The Qatama are somewhat isolationists. They generally avoid contact with outside cultures and do not welcome travelers. Culturally purity has been the main reason and it has been maintained for centuries. However, as the decades pass, more and more Qatama leave the main continent to seek what lies beyond its shores. Qatama are rare on the other continents, but most of the nomadic tribes are aware of the Qatama just as the Qatama are aware of most of the nomadic tribes. The most frequent Qatama renegades are thieves and warriors who only seek knowledge and believe that the only way to understand life and the world is to experience it firsthand. Rarely are these renegades welcomed home. Therefore, the decision to leave is a grave one. =Food Distribution= Primary food sources are crops; various land animals and the occasional aquatic delight. Food surplus and food storage does not occur, as there is usually just enough to feed everyone. (It is considered an insult to the host to waste even a single crumb). Indeed, wasting food at any time is virtually unheard of. =Technology - Architecture, Tools, Weapons= Qatama technology is consistent with the human average. They are capable of producing tools and weapons of most metals. Architectural construction is advanced in stone cutting and fitting. Most Qatama dwellings are completely stone. Qatama is akin to Earth's Middle Ages, roughly 700AD-1200AD. Some of the most identifiable achievements include; Silk, Thread combination Weaving Loom, Complex glasswork, Stained glass, Paper, Advanced minted coins, Iron, Standard Measures, Magnetic Compass, Hooded Lanterns, Cog, Great Galley, Shipboard rams, Simple crossbows, Re-curved bows, Catapults. =Use of Animals/Transportation, Long Distance Communication= Horses and oxen are often used as steeds and beasts of burden. Long distance communication is often done with trained hawks or other birds. Dogs serve a variety of functions. =Currency= The Empire of Qatama uses an ancient system of coinage, which has remained unchanged for centuries. The coins of Qatama are rectangular in shape and have an indentation, which makes them easy to stack. *One gold '''kutara''' = 5 silver '''kutal''' = 25 copper '''kutaq''' =Gender Differences - Rights, Responsibilities= The Qatama are unique in their perceptions of the sexes. Virtually no distinction between male and female rights and responsibilities exist. This quality is considered alien by most other cultures (that are male dominated). =Marriage System= Qatama marriages unite a male and female in a social bond as "mates". Qatama marriage is misogynous, but only at a superficial level. Qatama are very open about social interaction and sex. Marriage rituals are small and simple. Mates are usually close and rely on each other while they are together. Divorce is nonexistent. Partners simply leave each other. =Household Form, Family Form= The duties of the household are divided up by gender. Women cook food, wash clothes and see to the children. Men work within the clans and in the fields. Men also perform repairs about the house and do most heavy manual labor. Large families are typical with as many as seven or eight spouses and as many as twenty children. Children normally live with their parents until age ~16 for boys and ~18 for girls. At that point, they may move into a guild, join the military, serve aboard a ship, marry into a family or choose some other path. In agricultural areas, it is common for them to stay on and help with the farm. [[Image:Danjatanga.GIF|center|thumb|525px|Taq's family tree]] =Birth - Beliefs, Customs= Qatama have a gestation period of 11 months. Unwanted pregnancies are terminated through the ingestion of a mildly poisonous herb. Adoption is not unheard of on Qatam, however, it is most often between family members and mostly orphans that are adopted. There have been cases of the Qatam Imperial Guards adopting unwanted children to work preparing food, caring for animals and equipment; these children are put to work at the age of ~13 and are granted the right to join the military or follow their own path by the age of ~20. =Children= Children are educated in groups by village scholars. In the larger cities, specialized academies exist. Discipline is harsh. Recreation and games usually have an educational theme. Children are taught that strength of will is as important as strength of body. Girls are educated by women and boys by men until the age of ~5, after which they are educated by whomever the teacher may be. =Death - Beliefs, Customs= The Qatama death ritual involves wrapping the deceased tightly in a fine mesh cloth from head to foot and then burning it. Ceremonies are short and simple consisting of prayers and songs by relatives and friends. It is common for entire clans to gather for the passing of a well known clan member. These gathering are always held at sundown, after the '''gokumaq''' (burning of the body) there is a feast that usually lasts until sunrise. =Names= ::''Main article: [[Qatama names]]'' Qatama names usually consist of two or three parts, depending on the class and tribe affiliation: the personal name, sometimes a familiar name and the family or clan name. Ranks and titles always precede the personal name. *'''Qan Kaguma Amul oj Takaga''' :Lord '''Kaguma Amul''' son/descendant-of '''Takaga''' ::(title-personal name-familiar name-patronymic-clan/family name) *'''Najan aj D`haga''' :'''Najan''' of/from '''D`haga''' ::(personal name-of/from-clan/family/place) *'''Muha Ohan''' :Monk '''Ohan''' ::(title-personal name) *'''Koyonam''' :commoner name ::commoners often have single names as they may or may not have clan/familial/tribal affiliations. =Social Structure= The Social structure is complex. From lowest rank to highest: commoners, artisans, scholars, judges, warriors, monks, elders, lords, overlords and the emperor. *The '''Kahan''' :The '''Kahan''' is the noble class and are usually found in government positions...in charge of familial clans and often trade organizations. ::This class is made up of the '''Omoq''' (emperor) and his extended family, the '''Kagan''' (overlords) and the '''Qan''' (lords). Judges and council members also belong to this class. *The '''Muhan''' :The '''Muhan''' are the monks and nuns and are responsible for the upkeep of temples and shrines as well as protecting religious and spiritual texts. ::The '''Qan Muha''' (lord monk/nun)is considered the highest ranking monk in the Empire and is often an adviser to the '''Omoq'''. :::Other spiritual titles include; '''ongoq muha''' - elder monk/nun, and '''murha''' - monk/nun apprentice. ::::Scholars also fall into this class and are usually referred to as '''mon ru''' (one who learns). *The '''Tohan''' :The '''Tohan''' is the warrior class and is made up mostly of the [[Qatama_Culture#Military|Imperial Army]]. *The '''Odohan''' :The '''Odohan''' is made up of artisans of all types, it also includes the merchants. *The '''Mulhan''' :The '''Mulhan''' is the worker class, sometimes referred to as the peasant class... ==Tribal structure== *Each [[Qatama]] belongs to a tribe, clan and at a minimum a family. *The tribal hierarchy is; :Tribe -- '''tang''' ::Clan -- '''tang''' :::House/Order/Brotherhood -- '''t'ja''' ::::family -- '''tanga''' *Tribe and Clan are differentiated by name recognition. *There are only 4 tribes: '''Qatam, Guang, Ajra, Tam`q''' *There are ~40 clans that are powerful and influential enough to warrant recognition. Their banners are flown throughout the Empire and can be seen [http://wiki.frath.net/Category:Qatama_Heraldry here]. [[Image:Example.png|thumb|290px|center|An example for Taq of the Gyota clan, Guang tribe who lives in [[Qatama_Culture#Qutam|Qutam]]]] =Political System= The elders of each clan unite into councils and serve as the legislators, creating and refining laws. Small patrol groups enforce laws. The Judges deals with legal transgressions. The ruling elders appoint the Judges. =Common Laws= * Honor and Praise the Ancient Ones * Control your weaknesses keep a rigid discipline. * Train and focus your physical strength. * Avoid outside contact, keep your culture pure. * Use war as a return if either yours or a fellow clan is being attacked. * Study your history, write your own. * Show your family honor. * Your strength of your will is as your strength of body. * Your sex does not change your responsibilities or rights in your clan. * Keep what is yours not another's. * Keep your life safe; do not take another's. * Eat and drink what is in front of you, do not take food for granted. * Take only what nature has given; do not take what has not been given. * Honor Qatama, the Land of your Ancestors. ==Ownership, Inheritance Customs== Ownership laws and property customs are similar to humans. Bartering is the main system of trade. Credit and debt are mathematical concepts, which the Qatama understand but rarely use because it is considered impolite to trade in such abstracts. Inheritance always falls to the oldest surviving child, regardless of sex. =Military= The Qatama military is rather divided. Each clan can muster a militia of approximately 2/5 its total size. If ever there was a great need, dozens of these groups could be united into a formidable army. However, no hostile force has ever attempted to penetrate the main continent. Qatama militias combine bows and steel, utilizing both ground and mounted troops. *The military of Qatama is integrated into the fabric of each tribe and clan, as well as the government. *'''Omoq''' -- Emperor, responsible for governing the empire, considered the 'commander in chief' of all imperial forces. *'''Kagan''' -- Overlord, responsible for the governance of a realm, appointed by the '''Omoq'''. Usually a clan leader, occasionally a tribe leader, inherently responsible for the ruling of said clan and daily business. Commands a '''q'ma''', ~50,000 warriors. *'''Qan''' -- Lord, responsible for the governance of a region (subdivision of a realm). A Lord is also the traditional leader of a familial clan, can also lead a brotherhood or order. Commands a '''qada''' ~20,000 warriors. *'''Kanaq''' -- Warlord, appointed by a '''Kagan''', most often in time of war, but not uncommonly as commanders of policing units. Warlords give up ascension rights within a clan to gain this appointment. '''Kanaq''' is seen as a purely militaristic posting. *'''Qan Maj''' -- Lord Commander, not a rank of nobility, simply the highest military rank within a '''q'dom''', ~5000 warriors *'''Maj''' -- Commander/Chief, responsible for governance of a city/village. A '''Maj''' is also the traditional leader of an extended family within a city/village. Commands a '''q'tan''', ~100-500 warriors. *'''Q'toj''' -- Lord Warrior, also not nobility, simply the highest rank in the warrior class. Serves at the side of a '''Qan''' all of the way down to a '''Maj'''. This position is similar to a senior enlisted adviser in today's armed forces. This position is lifelong once appointed. *'''Tojra''' -- Master Warrior, responsible for the training of warriors and apprentices, works hand in hand with the '''Q'toj''' to insure that all needs are attended to. *'''Toj''' -- Warrior. *'''Gulhan''' -- A '''gulhan''' is a personal guard for a '''Qan''' and higher. Often they are groomed for appointment as a '''Maj'''. *'''Gulha'''/'''Gul''' -- Apprentice. The difference between a '''gulha''' and a '''gul''' is the length of time in training, the '''gulha''' having trained longer. =Sports= Physical strength, speed, resilience and endurance are important qualities for a Qatama. Man against man competitions is a normal form of sport. In this type of competition there is usually a champion and a challenger. Common sports are Archery, Javelin, Sword fighting, Swimming, and Wrestling. =Around the Empire= [[Image:Onha4.jpg|350px|thumb|center|The map of Qatama, as drawn by [http://www.spinnoff.com/zbb/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=62 Lord D`rada]]] ==Tanaq== [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Tanaq.png '''Tanaq'''] is the capital and the largest city in the empire; it is home to more than 10 clans and is where the Emperor and his extended family reside. It is home to several hundred thousand people and has the largest concentrations of Imperial Warriors in the empire. Before the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Qatama.png '''Qatama'''] took power it was known as '''Jarba''' and was ruled by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Ajra.png '''Ajra'''] tribe. When the '''Qatama''' conquered it they left most of the structures intact due to not wanting to have to rebuild before beginning their rule over their new empire. The [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Muhaj.png '''Muhaj'''] clan, which is the Emperors clan, controls '''Tanaq''' but a cousin of the Emperor does the actual governing of the city due to the Emperor having other obvious obligations. ==Mujara== [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Mujara.png '''Mujara'''] is the largest port on the '''Qatama''' coastline. It is a center for commerce and a haven for countless people. Many of the citizens of '''Mujara''' make their living from fishing and trade, but there is also a large amount of smuggling of '''Qatama''' banned items. The schools in '''Mujara''' are decent and the children learn well. The religious community in '''Mujara''' is not quite as large as it is in other big cities within the empire and much of this is due to the unsavory characters that frequent the streets. '''Mujara''' is run by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Mujar.png '''Mujar'''] clan and has been off and on since the city first sprang up. The '''Mujar''' clan is powerful in regards to shipping, fishing, and trade but has a very small militia in comparison to other clans the same size. When it comes to defense of '''Mujara''' shores they rely heavily on other clans that they hold trade agreements with. '''Mujara''' is considered a decent place to live and work but has political importance only because of the trade in the region. ==Qutam== [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Qutam.png '''Qutam'''] is the oldest city in the empire and is home to the oldest known ruins ever discovered. The city first belonged to the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Guang.png '''Guang'''] tribe and was known as '''Grotlun'''. After the '''Ajra''' tribe took power the city became their capital for a while and was known as '''Bakra''', under the '''Ajra''' the city flourished and became the cultural center of the known world. After the founding of '''Jarba''', by the '''Ajra''', '''Qutam''' was simply referred to as the second city, and many saw it has a place to only visit. When the '''Qatama''' rose to power they decided to rename the city out of respect to the '''Guang'''. '''Qutam''' has never reached the heights that it did under '''Guang''' rule, but it has become a large cultural center once more with the '''Qatama''' in charge. '''Qutam''' boasts the second largest population in the empire, as well as the largest temple known as '''al Kagaha''', it also has three universities while most cities only have one, there are two libraries and several art houses. Unfortunately though, '''Qutam''' is now after many years of drought in the desert and many have begun to leave. '''Qutam''' is run by the [http://wiki.frath.net/Image:Amuq.png '''Amuq''']' clan, which is the 4th largest clan in the empire and one of the lifelong seats on the Imperial Council, and the Council of Lords.

Its main uncommon feature is that the language does not have an open lexical class of verbs; instead, four ''relationals'' are used.

There are no dancers more lithe than they are. They turn and weave so that they seem to have a single mind. This seems the least difficult work for them. Do any dancers make greater beauty with less effort?

Agglutinating. Adjectives follow the nouns they qualify, and agree with them. Predicative adjectives compound with the verb. Roots compund in head last order within words. However, grammatical affixes are suffixes (segunakar) ====Morphology==== =====Nouns===== Nouns may be followed by segunakar of six ranks. Each rank has a particular grammatical role. They are specified in the order they occur following the root. '''modsegunakar''' (1st rank) Deiexis ;il:this ;ban:that ;wo:any ;she:no '''densegunakar''' (2nd rank) Proximity Indicates how closely associated the think qualified by the proximity-marked noun is with the thing specified by the proximity-marked noun. ;ash:without '''radsegunakar''' (3rd rank) Relative position Not used in this text '''karvsegunakar''' (4th rank) Sense of motion ;gu:by (route) '''sintsegunakar''' (5th rank) Abstract relationships ;uz:of ;ol:by (instrumental) ;ung:for (benefactive) '''bantsegunak''' (6th rank) number ;(a)r:plural =====Verbs===== Verbs may be followed by the following segunakar '''Person/infinitive/participles''' (obligatory) ;a:1p ;e:2p ;i:3p ;o:infinitive ;on/ont:Present participle. For many verbs this has the sense of an agent noun. If the sense normal for the verb is not the one required, the present participle compounds with another nouns to form the required sense. '''Reflexiveness''' Not used in this passage '''Continuous aspect''' Not used in this passage '''Perfect aspect''' fœ '''Tense''' Only the unmarked present tense is found in this passage. '''Voice''' ;uf:passive '''Mood''' ;lt:imperative ;dau:interrogative '''Negation''' she '''Number''' ;(a)r:Plural =====Adjectives===== Adjectives may be marked for five degrees of comparison with the following segunakar ;ikhim:superlative ;ezhm:comparative ;dedu:reductive (less) ;kokra:minimative (least) Positive is unmarked. These segunakar preceed noun agreement or verb compounding. =====Derivational affix===== ;l:forms adjectives from nouns in the sense of "Characterised by". ===Concultural note=== gwendontsivolkar are frequently used by wizards to instruct enchanters (those with active magical powers who have not yet attained the ''true knowledge of magic'' that is the mark of a wizard) in the art of discerning hidden meanings.

Adjectives, except for articles and possessive pronouns, follow their nouns. Pronominal subjects are often left unstated when the verbal ending makes obvious who or what is referenced. Only pronouns are marked for case, but all nouns and adjectives are marked for and agree for number and gender. There are two numbers ­ singular and plural ­ and three genders ­ masculine, feminine and neuter. Plural is marked by ­s while gender is marked by ­u for masculine, -a for feminine and ­i for neuter. Verbs come in three conjugations ­-ari, -eri and ­-iri all of which conjugate similarly. Esseri is an irregular verb meaning ''to be''. The following froms of esseri are used in the text. *Suns is 3p pres. indic. *Esti is 3s pres indic. ===Suffixes=== ;-a: feminine noun or adjective, imperative verb of -ari class ;-ans: 3p pl indicative of ­ari verb ;-ed: 3p sg indicative of ­eri verb ;-edi: 2p sg formal/impersonal of ­eri verb ;-i: neuter noun or adjective ;-id: 3p sg indicative of ­iri verb ;-ins: 3p pl indicative of ­iri or or ­eri verb ;-isimi: superlative of adjective ;-istu: one who ;-s: plural ;-u: masculine noun or adjective ;-udu: past participle of ­eri verb Conlang Relay 15/Old Albic 4879 31859 2008-05-28T11:15:52Z PeteBleackley 179 Undo revision 31858 by [[Special:Contributions/PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] ([[User talk:PeteBleackley|Talk]]) by Jörg Rhiemeier ===The Text=== ====Talal sugunthul==== Salétha raiganthal!

There is no chief to them, there is no music of their voices, there has been no learning of any plan for their dance. They go some way which they desire. But the dance is the most graceful, the most harmonic of all dances. They turn and they weave along such a way that there seems to be one mind to them. This work seems the easiest to them. Do any dancers make more beauty with less effort? But they do not make one step. ===Vocabulary=== ;a (objective stem am): relative pronoun. ;am: inanimate definite article. ;b-: to be (momentarily). ;brastar: effort. ;d-: to make. ;dan: any. ;caras: work. ;cvenim: all. ;grib-: to learn. ;h-: to be (permanently). ;hai-: to go. ;laras: music. ;lenda: voice. ;mach: great. ;mai: interrogative particle. ;mantha: mind. ;mar: but. ;mithin: graceful. ;phlis: lithe. ;pich: little. ;raig-: to dance. ;raigan: dance. ;rathara: chief. ;sal-: to see. ;sallaran: harmonic. ;sam: one. ;san: this. ;sug-: to hide. ;talal: story. ;thaj-: to seem. ;trad: step. ;vant-: to desire. ;vernes: beauty. ===Grammar=== ====Phonology==== The vowels /a/, /i/ and /u/ cause umlaut of the preceding vowel: */a/ lowers (/i/ > /e/, /y/ > /ø/, /u/ > /o/) */i/ fronts (/a/ > /e/, /o/ > /ø/, /u/ > /y/) */u/ rounds (/a/ > /o/, /e/ > /ø/, /i/ > /y/) Two subsequent vowels of the same quality contract into a long vowel (marked with acute accent). Some suffixes undergo vowel harmony with the preceding vowel. Such harmony vowels are transcribed as ° below. ====Morphology==== =====Nouns===== Animate nouns have an agentive stem (AS), and an objective stem (OS) obtained by adding -m to the AS. The AS is listed in the vocabulary section. Inanimate nouns have only an OS (listed) and no AS. Cases occuring in the text: ;partitive: AS-l ;dative: AS-n ;objective: OS-0 ;instrumental: OS-i ;locative: OS-°l ;ablative: OS-°d ;perlative: OS-°th Nouns modifying other nouns undergo suffixaufnahme. =====Adjectives===== ;comparative: -°r ;superlative: -°th. Adjectives agree with their head nouns in gender, number and case. =====Verbs===== ;present tense: -a- ;subjunctive mood (also used as imperative): -i- ;2nd person singular agent: -tha ;3rd person singular agent: -sa ;3rd person plural agent: -si ;3rd person singular patient: -a ;3rd person plural patient: -i ;verbal noun: -°nth There is one instance of a periphrastic perfect formed with b- 'to be (momentarily)' and the ablative case of the verbal noun. ====Syntax==== VSO, modifiers follow their heads.

And yet they make the most harmonious and graceful dance of all. None of the dancers have more agility. They make turns, they make weavings. It seems they have one mind. It seems very easy.

Here is the fun stuff.... First, there are no verbs. Instead, there are 4 relationals, each of which appear in the text. The four relationals are LA, PA, NI, and SE. LA [object] states that something exists, generally in a state or location LA [object1] PA [object2] states that object1 exists and contains object2 as a part or attribute PA [object1] [object2] is the equivalent of above NI [object] states that something has come into existence, or changed its state or location SE [object] states that something exists with a source and/or a beneficiary/recipient/goal LA and SE can inflect for tense and aspect NI and SE can inflect for person. When NI inflects for person, that person is the agent of the change in existence, state, or location. When SE inflects for person, that person is either the source or beneficiary, or both. LA is used for simple statements. NI is used for motion as well as what I said above. SE is used for transactions, such as giving/receiving, and for speech and experiences. It's really not that complicated. Forms of relationals that appear in the text: ;la: LA + non-past ;ñaxxa: NI + non-past + 3rd person plural ;ñi: NI + non-past + unidentified or reflexive agent ;pa: PA ;se: SE + non-past + unidentified source + unidentified beneficiary/recipient ;sexe: SE + non-past + unidentified source + 3rd person plural ben/rec ;wa: LA + negative OK? Now on to the Nouns. There are (in this text) 4 prefixes: ;an-: for abstract nouns (ideas, qualities) ;ja-/j-: for inanimate nouns (things, places, instances of an abstraction) ;ma-/m-: for animate nouns (people, people with a given quality) ;sa-/s-: for obligatorily possessed in the 3rd person nouns Then there are the suffixes: ;-a/-e/-0: for non-plural ;-i: for plural inanimates and collective animates ;-ien with some initial root consonant reduplication (if applicable): for plural animates Note: animates are collective when considered as a single group and plural when considered as a bunch of individuals. Pronouns follow this pattern by using a paucal inflection for the collective group of any size, and plural for a bunch of individuals of any size. Nouns in juxtaposition with the same inflection refer to the same entity. Otherwise, they follow a whole-part pattern or a general-specific or a animate-inanimate pattern. Obligatorily possessed nouns mess with the system a bit. They can be considered the equivalent of inanimate nouns.

Although they have mastered dancing fully until now - moving with desire and rejoicing - at the same time their dance becomes ever more like the most beautiful and harmonious of dances. There is not a student more dexterous than them. They turn and move as if with one mind. No move is impossible to them. Are there any other dancers who make greater beauty with less exertion, and without a single wrong step? ===Grammar=== Syntax generally SOV. Attributes precede heads if separate words, otherwise they are attached to the end of the word. Pronouns do not have possessive forms, the personal ones act as possessives if they are attached to nouns. Affixes are attached in the following order: Nouns: root-plural-possessive-case(s)-demonstratives/determinatives- their case-endings Verbs: aspect-tense-root-subject.pronoun-mood-object.pronoun-nominaliser A copula (be) if used, will attach to the subject, if specified. Attaching a suffix with a leading vowel to a word with a final vowel will lead to the loss of that final vowel. Attaching a suffix with a leading consonant to a word ending in a 'w' will turn that 'w' into a 'u'. ====Relevant nominal morphemes==== ;-(i)qe: ergative - marks subject of transitive sentence ;-(a)wqe: plural ;-na: genitive ;-sader: ablative - origin, also of comparison ;-sa: instrumental ;-imhi: comitative - used instead of "and" ;-ren: temporal, adverbialiser ;-(a)la: terminative - goal of movement or action ;-(h)ari: dative ====Comparison==== ;-(a)rug: comparative ;-hicha: superlative ====Relevant verbal morphemes==== ;-(i)ht: imperative ;-wana: perfective, completive ;ahi-: continuous ;ihis-: perfect ;-(i)thwa: antipassive ;-(i)thwana: verbal adjective ;hil-: interrogative ;-chwa: relative ====Pronouns==== ;2s: hiqar ;3s: muna ;3p: mach ===Vocabulary=== ;ahara: no, not, un- ;ahmadjan: become ;aksonada: great ;(a)r: be ;bere: single, sole, own ;chendu: master, accomplish, know, be able to ;chentawauna: - direct, lead, command ;cho: look, see ;choda: supple, dexterous ;dedasa: how ;hachandama: difficult ;hakswa: other, different ;hartatanwangura: harmonious ;heraweja: rejoicing, happiness ;hichuraranwara: student, pupil ;hichurawara: mind, memory ;hihwaihinaw: dance (v) ;hihwaihinawara: dancer ;hihwainawa: dancing, dance (n) ;hikuriwaju: desire ;hiqin: make, do ;hitahar: move, touch, come, go ;hizwalda: turn ;laqna: effort, work ;mihisa: -like, similar to ;ocha: 1, one ;olthwa: voice ;qamhanan: apart, except (+abl) ;qardera: beautiful, beauty ;tahana: little ;utha: without, empty, -less ;wanagasedir: hitherto ;wanangwaha: step ;wangura: music, game ;weda: same, self Conlang Relay 15/Rhean 4884 31863 2008-05-28T13:32:19Z PeteBleackley 179 Uploaded text by Mike Ellis ===The Text=== ====Taǧiwastik če:==== Dornikin miryat kraza.

There is a Rhean grammar page online at http://suzsoiz.free.fr/rhean but some inflections are different in the more recent “version” of the language. You won’t have to use the site; I’ll give you all you need here: Rhean is an inflected language with a Subject-Object-Verb word order. Anything that modifies a noun usually comes before it, whether that’s an adjective or an entire relative clause. Prepositions didn’t appear in this text. Verbs come in two conjugations, depending on whether the infinitive ends in –ak or –ek. The infinitive ending is replaced by the various person/tense endings. The infinitive itself can also be the complement of another verb, especially an auxiliary: mirek mu rez “they cannot see”. The verb ček means “to be” but it is never negated with mu. There is a special verb deǧek meaning “not be”, which is used for the negative of ček. The verb anček means “to exist” and is commonly used in “there is, there are” sentences. But it is also used for possession, because Rhean doesn’t use a verb for “to have” the same way English does. The structure for “X has Y” is X-(instrumental case) Y-(nominative case) anče, or “there is Y with X”. The only participle that appears here was the past active, which means someone has completed doing something. It is usually used with ček (or deǧek): tafa ‘he eats’ --> tafov če ‘ he has eaten’ (literally “he-is having-eaten”). Nouns inflect for five cases, all of which appeared in this text. The nominative case is used for the subject of a verb, and for noun predicates The accusative case is used (among other things) for the object of a verb The genitive case requires some special attention in this text. This case often works like the English possessive, showing that one thing belongs to another. But when the object or the subject of a verb appears in the genitive case, it means “some, any” or with a negative “none, no, none of”. The dative case shows the recipient of something, but with inanimate nouns it is often a destination or a direction of motion. All verbs that indicate heading towards something take objects in the dative. The instrumental case does a lot of work in Rhean. Its main use is to show the means by which something was done: čekicom “with a hammer”, aftom “by car”, pešim “on foot”. It is also a locative case, showing where something is or happens. As shown above, it also indicates who a possessed thing is “with”.

Yet, our dancers are not just making the most elegant movements: when they whirl around, they are telling a true story, thereby transcending their own souls. To me it's clear: in this very way they are expressing the Word of God Himself. Can there be another explanation for that fact that it costs our dancers so little effort? Others in their place wouldn't even be able to make a single step! ===Grammar=== Wenedyk is quite an ordinary romlang. As you may or may not know, it's essentially based on Vulgar Latin, combined with the sound changes that distinguish Modern Polish from Common Slavic. Virtually all vocabulary is Romance, morphology is predominantly Latin- based, but syntax, orthography and pronunciation are mostly Polish. Wenedyk has three genders (m, f, n), and two numbers (sg, pl). There are three cases: direct case, genitive, and dative. The direct case is nothing more than the nominative and the accusative in one; the latter two have separate forms only in the case of personal pronouns. Word order is basically free, although SVO would be the "normal" way of saying something. There are two things you need to know about negations: *Wenedyk often has double negation ("I don't want no present for Christmas") *The object of a negation is always in the genitive case. A question that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" is often preceded by the particle "szy". Pronouns: *The forms "ił", "łu", "li", and "łór" can both be personal pronouns of the third person and demonstrative pronouns. *"Miej" is the genitive of the first person personal pronoun "jo". *Pro-drop is allowed in Wenedyk, but not compulsory. Adjectives: Adjectives, demonstrative pronouns, possessive pronouns and the like agree with the noun they modify in gender, number and case. They can be placed before and after the noun they modify. Some will usually go first, some will almost always go after, but that doesn't really matter in this case. The ending "-eśmy" is used for superlatives. Verbs: In this text, you will encounter the present tense, the perfect tense, the imperative, the infinitive, the present active participle, and the conditional. It is important to know that in most cases the conditional is based on the infinitive + the conditional of the verb "szer" (to be). These two components may be separated: "jemarsi" or "si jemar": "I would love".

They have mastered the dance beforehand - they move with desire and happiness - At the same time their dance becomes the most beautiful and the most harmonious type of dance. No student is more supple than them. They turn, they move as with one mind. No step is difficult for them. Are there any other dancers greater at creating beauty, with less effort and without a single step? ===Pronunciation=== The vowels a e i o u are pure as in Spanish The consonants are pronounced as in English with the following exceptions *t, d are more dental as in Spanish or French *r is lightly rolled *j is pronounced as in French *x is pronounced ''sh'' ===Punctuation=== Commas, full stops and question marks are used as in English. Capital letters are only used for proper names. ===Grammar=== Articles: the definite and indefinite articles ''the'' and ''a/ an'' are not used in Xara Nouns: declined with the following suffixes ;(no ending): nominative singular ;-er: accusative singular ;-ar: genitive singular ;-ir: dative singular ;-ur: ablative singular ;-me: nominative plural ;-meyer: accusative plural ;-meyar: genitive plural ;-meyir: dative plural ;-meyur: ablative plural Pronouns: declined as the nouns above. Possesive pronouns: the genitive form of the personal pronoun is used. The relative pronoun ''xeye'' drops its final e before adding any suffixes. Adjectives: mostly and in -an. They follow the noun they qualify and do not decline or change for case or number. The comparative is formed by replacing the -an ending with -fean The superlative is formed by replacing the -an ending with -fejan Verbs: conjugated as follows mood indicator (if used) + tense indicator + verb stem + personal pronoun ending In this text the following personal pronoun endings are used ;-es: 2nd person singular ;-as: 3rd person singular ;-asme: 3^rd person plural ;-os: indefinite pronoun (equivalent to the English ''one'' or as ''there is /are'' with the verb ''to be'') The mood indicator ''si'', as well as indicating continuous action is also used in all relative clauses. In this case it does not necessarily indicate continuous action, merely that the verb belongs to the relative clause. ====Syntax==== The usual word oder is as follows: subject - object - verb - adverb or relative clause Adjectives follow the nouns they qualify and adverbs follow the verbs they qualify.

It is not only a dance, though it is not a song; it teaches one never only to play music. No indeed, it, resolute, transcends, and by this way can be discovered the deepest truth. It is a dance of great grace and extraordinarily harmonious. But it does not only move our dancers most elegantly: when they spin around, they let show their truest emotions so that the human soul and consciousness may be transcended. To clarify: in this way the word of God is accurately borne. Is it possible to explain otherwise how the dancers achieve it with so little effort? A common man would give up taking his first cautious step. ===Grammar=== The details are probably all available on Frath, so I'll simply point you to the places most important for comprehension: *[[Classical_Arithide_declension]] *[[Classical_Arithide_conjugation]] *[[Classical_Arithide_adjectives]] *[[Classical_Arithide_adpositions]] *[[Classical_Arithide_pro-forms]] In approximately declining order of importance. What you really really need to know is that #Classical Arithide was an absolutive language, and tended to be SOV in word order, with modifiers after antecedents. #However, its inflection system was so entrenched, embedded and pervasive that the above is not necessarily true (like Latin). #Classical Arithide has a strong compounding ability, particularly with verbs. Suffixation is king. #Classical Arithide had a copula that was barely ever used. Instead, the rule of the age was to form the equation simply as a nominative-essive pair. #Classical Arithide also had a negative copula, and this was sometimes used. #Phonologically speaking, Classical Arithide also had a large degree of assimilation, to the extent that morpheme boundaries might not be instantly recognisable, but such changes are illustrated on the pages provided above. #Classical Arithide words are largely classifiable into two groups, verbal and nominal (acting grammatically like verbs or nouns), and for inflection of each group refer to the correct page! #That above point is partly because of the considerable ambiguity arising from syncretism across word classes. #And speaking of word classes (of which Cl. Ar. has 8 lexical ones), certain adjectives are fixed declension, and certain are of variable declension! Also see the adjectives page for how some are not declined at all. #Due to the great difference in phraseology and expression from Latinate and European languages, translating directly will cause you much headache. #I have only given root forms of words below, hence no "-ation" equivalent for verbs etc. Irregular stuff I have, otherwise it would be unfair.

They use no music but their own voices. They haven't learned any choreography. But they can perform any kind of step desired in any direction desired. They perform a more precise dance than all others. There are no dancers more agile than these. They turn and move. It seems they have one mind. It appears to be very easy for them. I don't believe they can be so beautiful with such a small amount of effort. It isn't that they merely perform the same steps. ===Grammar=== Note: Although I use ergative-type terminology in the grammar, Naisek is more of a direct role alignment language (i.e. the case of an argument doesn't change when the verb becomes passive) with some fluid-S behavior. Naisek is an agglutinative language with some incipient fusion, and is mostly suffixing. The order of phrases within a clause is determined pragmatically. The word order within phrases (when all types appear) is: determiner, quantifier, noun, adjective. Nouns have implicit gender (animate and inanimate) and are marked for number (singular and plural) and case (only the absolutive, ergative, dative, genitive, and instrumental occur here). The partly fused suffixes are given below. There are different suffixes for vowel stems and consonant stems. Adjectives, demonstratives, and the definite article h- agree with the noun in gender, number, and case. For all of these, the gender suffix (consistently -a for animate and -i for inanimate) comes first. The number and case suffixes are the same as those for vowel-stem nouns. The only other declined forms occuring here are given in the vocabulary section. The number and case suffixes occurring here are as follows, with the vowel-stem suffixes given first (if both occur in the text). ;Absolutive Singular: (no suffix) ;Absolutive Plural: -l, -o ;Genitive Singular: -m ;Genitive Plural: -lum ;Ergative Plural: -la ;Instrumental Singular: -pe Phrases in the genitive case are used as either possessors, objects of prepositions, or objects of verbal nouns and follow their heads except in cases that don't apply here. Phrases in the instrumental case specify the means or instrument. Class 5I verbs are regularly derived from adjectives using the suffix -t. The only other relevent adjective suffix is -oss, which forms the comparative stem. The relevent finite verb stems are: ;-0: basic stem (meaning depends on verb class) ;-ax: subjunctive (and polite command) stem Finite verb forms end in subject agreement suffixes. These distinguish (redundantly) the subject's case as well as its person and number. The forms occurring are: ;1st person singular dative: -ki ;2nd person singular ergative: -na ;3rd person singular absolutive (basic stem): -i (-0 after a vowel) ;3rd person plural ergative: -tor ;3rd person plural dative: -twe ;3rd person plural absolutive: -to The non-finite verb forms are the participles, infinitives, and verbal nouns. Each of these may occur in a compound tense (with no further suffixing) following the copula. The verbal nouns specify habitual participation. The verbal nouns may also be used as inflected nouns and the participles as inflected adjectives. The relevent suffixes are: ;-ok: progressive participle ;-ep: retrospective participle ;-ax: infinitive ;-in: verbal noun Grammatical voice marking (which changes the verb's argument structure) is accomplished using prefixes for both finite and non-finite forms. The prefixes occurring are: ;le-: turns dative argument into ergative argument (becomes class 2 and the TAM class becomes P) ;ho-: adds dative argument (becomes class 3) ;e-: deletes dative argument (becomes class 5) Compounds have the form modifier-head. The complementizer ir is used with deductive complements; lo is used for all others. ===Vocabulary=== Only the bare stems of inflected forms are given. Verbs, adjectives, and determiners always take some non-zero suffix (see grammar). A couple of inflected forms have been included. ====Word/Stem Types==== ;A: adjective ;C: conjunction or particle ;D: determiner or pronoun ;NA: noun, animate ;NI: noun, inanimate ;P: preposition or adverb ;Q: quantifier or number ;V#$: verb, where # = argument structure class and $ = TAM class.

Come and observe closely! This isn't only a dance, although it isn't a song; it never even teaches one to play music. No, it transcends consistently and, in this manner, the Deepest Truth is discovered. It is a dance that is very gracious and extraordinarily harmonious. But our dancers don't only move most elegantly: when they whirl, they demonstrate real history, surpassing their mortal souls. To make myself clear: they express the Word of God in this exact manner. Can it be explained in any other way how this is achieved with so little effort by our dancers? Other persons even neglect to place one correct step. ===Grammar=== Tauro-Piscean is a Germanic language, primarily descended from Old English and German, though it does have notable Romance influence. It may look very artificial in places, but it is supposed to be that way; it should be very easy to learn. There are three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. However, grammatical genders always match biological genders. Thus, most nouns (inanimate objects and animals of unspecified sex) are neuter. In fact, you will only encounter the neuter gender in this text. There are definite and indefinite articles, which are inflected for gender, the nominative, accusative, dative, genitive and instrumental cases: [[Tauro-Piscean_language#Articles]] When a noun must be inflected for a particular case and there are no articles present, the noun itself must be inflected, as explained here: [[Tauro-Piscean_language#Cases]] The word list provided gives nouns in their nominative form. Note that prepositions are followed by the accusative or dative case: dative when the event is stationary, accusative when there is motion, e.g. 'in' can mean both 'in' and 'into', depending on whether it is followed by the dative or the accusative respectively. Verbs are negated either with the word 'nat' (c.f. English 'not') or using a negative article such as 'nan' (c.f. German 'kein' - English 'not a'). More information here: [[Tauro-Piscean_language#Negation]] You should also understand how the voices work, particularly the dummy pronoun 'jo', which is similar to the way in which English often uses 'it': [[Tauro-Piscean_language#Voice]] When preceding a noun that they describe, adjectives take the ending -en when they end in a consonant and -n when they end in a vowel. This does not apply to adjectives in any other location. They do not agree with gender or number. Word order is V2; in many cases, it is the same as in English, but in several cases (when the clause begins with an element other than the subject), the verb comes before the subject. More information here: [[Tauro-Piscean_language#Word_Order]] Tauro-Piscean has a large number of grammatical moods and tenses. In the text, you will encounter the infinitive, the indicative, the imperative and the interrogative: [[Tauro-Piscean_language#Verbs]] The webpage tells you how to form them; the word list gives verbs in the infinitive. ===Word list=== (bear in mind that adjectives also function as adverbs): ;Swiklik: (adj.) - deceitful, treacherous, cheating ;Kwidê: (n.) - speech ;Frikiung: (n.) - dance ;Zïan: (v.) - to be ;Sot: (adj.) - true ;Mikeêlù: - so much so ;Dass: (conj.) - that ;Zölan: (v.) - to be supposed to ;Sean: (v.) - to see ;Kuman: (v.) - to come, to arrive ;Nes: (conj.) - and (then) ;Skäwian: (v.) - to observe, to behold, to examine ;Närolik: (adj.) - accurate, close ;Efnê: (adj.) - only ;Tä: (conj.) - though ;San: (n.) - song ;Leran: (v.) - to teach ;Efä: (adv.) - ever ;Fötum: (adj.) - only ;Swe: (n.) - music ; Plean (v.): - to play, to joke ;Neg: (intj.) - no, certainly not ;Ubäbiddan: (v.) - to surpass, to transcend ;Anred: (adj.) - constant, consistent, resolute ;In (prep.): - in, into ;Wisê: (n.) - manner, way, matter, usage, idiom ;Onfindan: (v.) - to realise, to discover ;Deop: (adj.) - deep ;Sot: (n.) - truth ;Switê: (adj.) - very, greatly, strongly ;Tanklik: (adj.) - gracious ;And: (conj.) - and ;Inkut: (adj.) - extraordinary ;Answejê: (adj.) - accordant, harmonious ;Ak: (conj.) - but ;Weëfan: (v.) - to move, to roam ;Frikiärê: (n.) - dancer ;Jetïnlik: (adj.) - elegant ;Ta: (conj.) - when, if ;Aspinnan: (v.) - to spin, to whirl ;Tekan: (v.) - to show, to demonstrate ;Ekkt: (adj.) - real, genuine ;Steê: (n.) - story, history ;Tontetan: (prep.) - in order that ;Mannlik: (adj.) - mortal, human ;Jast: (n.) - spirit, soul, ghost ;Äsweotölan: (v.) - to make clear ;Wëd: (n.) - word, report, subject of talk ;Jod: (n.) - good, goodness, God ;Kunnan: (v.) - to be able to ;Enï: (adj.) - any ;Otä: (adj.) - other ;Rekkan: (v.) - to explain, to care, to narrate ;Hu: (conj.) - how ;Duan: (v.) - to achieve, to benefit, to be useful, to work, to avail ;Mid: (prep.) - with ;Zo: (adv.) - so ;Fä: (adj.) - few, little ;Jedeëf: (n.) - effort ;Mann: (n.) - person, man, woman ;Fëletan: (v.) - to abandon, to neglect, to forsake, to leave, to surrender, to let go ;Weê: (adj.) - correct, prudent, cautious ;Last: (n.) - vow, duty, gait, step ;Settan: (v.) - to set, to place, to occupy, to appoint, to compose, to establish Conlang Relay 15/Nesheti 4890 32069 2008-05-30T09:23:18Z PeteBleackley 179 Uploaded text by Tony Hogard ===The Text=== Uskike mahenek, haf hala aniyazinzi.

But they can perform any step in any direction, whatever they wish.. They are dancing more precisely than all the others There are no dancers more agile than these. They turn and gesture. It seems they are of one mind It appears to be very easy for them. I cannot believe that there can be so much beauty from so little effort. It is not as if they are doing the same steps over and over. ===Grammar=== Prevli is a VSO language.(Adverbials may precede the verb.) There is a lot of metathesis and consequent allophony, much of which is not indicated here to avoid an unnecessarily complicated description. Note only: #/s/ > [ś] before most cons, [ž] before a vd. stop. #palatalized C are indicated with a following comma, e.g. “g,”. Sorry, there's nothing on-line. ====Irrealis verbs==== May be translated 'probably..., may...', but in fact they are simply required in certain constructions involving doubt, questioning, lack of knowledge, hypotheticals etc. ====Relative clauses==== Rel.Pron. must be the subject of the vb. in the RC; consequently the verb must sometimes be passive. ====Possession==== Alienable: Possessor + /dia+poss.sfx/ + possessed Inalienable: #(optional PRON) Possessed+poss.sfx. #Possessed+sfx + (Noun) possessor ====Nouns==== There is no case marking; only plural is marked. Modifying adjectives precede the noun, and agree in number. ====Pronouns==== #simple, with intrans.vbs.; neuter “it” is not indicated #compound Subj+Obj. with trans. vbs.; there are dative and passive-agent forms in the wordlist, actually Prep+Pron. ===Vocabulary=== ;a: (pl. at) marks animate DO ;/anid/ aner: another, again; ;anertaner: = aner te aner ;bak: prep. from ;/basan/ baśna: to believe ;biltuk: voice (N, inalien.) ;bon: a certain dance (traditional) ;givon: (agt.noun) one who does this dance ;bovon: vb. to do the bon dance ;dee [de?e]: little, little bit ;di: prep. to (direction) ;/dia/: die+poss. marker of alienable possession ;/disak/ diśkä: to intend, noml. ddiskä [(.)'d:iSk&] ;/duŋu/; no, none ;el: vb. there is; (irreal.) on; may sometimes = simply 'it is...'; with dative/possessive, 'to have....' ;/giham/: to understand, pass. g,i:mä ['dZi:m&] /g-i-iham/ ;/goza/ gozo: N. direction ;hå: same, own ;hulhum: gesture (n, vb.) ;/inim/ imni: to move: noml. hhimni ['ximni] ;-k (pron.sfx.): 1st pers.sing.

Look! It is not simply a dance but like a song it shows that one never just teaches music. So it is not something way above people, it is a way to find the deepest truth. Normally, it is graceful when done together. But then we get excited and we dance not only earnestly but by spinning we show the truest feelings that rise above the human soul. Thus the words of God are clear and accurate. Can others achieve this type of dancing with little effort? Some people may give up and instead take careful steps rather than letting themselves dance freely. ===Lexicon=== ;alicit: pronoun something ;aņe: noun, feminine soul, spirit ;cam: adverb like, how ;candu: adverb when ;canşu: noun, masculine song ;ce: pronoun, relative what, that ;cèşè: prounoun everyone, everything ;ceşor: verb, transitive to cease, stop ;cipur: verb, transitive or intransitive to begin, start, undertake ;cuşèndor: verb, intransitive to ascend, mount up ;de: preposition of, when used with a verb "so as to" "in order that" ;dèbor: verb, intransitive must, should ;dècoru: adjective graceful, beautiful, without blemish ;dju: noun or proper noun god ;èdatu: noun, masculine error ;èrudor: verb, transitive or intransitive to teach ;etur: verb, intransitive to be ;èşèstor: verb, transitive to become ;èspişor: verb, transitive to find ;ete: noun, feminine level, stratum, degree ;fapule: noun, feminine story, fable, history ;faşèlu: adjective easy ;humanu: adjective human ;intèntèmèm: adverb purposefully ;işèrègu: noun, masculine understaning ;itè: adverb thus ;jèns: noun, masculine people, race ;mènşu: noun, masculine lie ;modèror: verb, transitive measure ;mos: adverb soon, thereafter ;munstrar: verb, transitive to demonstrate, show ;musice: noun, feminine music ;nu: particle negates verb ;oņu: adjective all ;orur: verb, transitive rise, pass over, transcend ;pozur: verb, intransitive can, be able ;privatus: noun, masculine person ;prufundu: adjective deep, profound ;rès: noun, masculine thing ;saltar: verb, transitive or intransitive to dance ;salte: noun, feminine dance ;şèdam: pronoun one, individual ;sèmite: noun, feminine path, track, internet link ;şèmplèmèm: adverb simply ;şèmulu: adjective together ;şènè: preposition without ;sense: noun, feminine feeling, sense ;şènugularu: adjective singular ;sèr: preposition over, above, on top of, atop ;set: conjunction but, however ;sprègor: verb, transitive to look at, observe ;suşitor: verb, transitive or reflexive to excite ;suxumbor: verb, intransitive to surrender ;utrè: preposition beyond, past, after ;vale: noun, feminine lyric, spoken word ;valiur: verb, transitive to speak ;vèrite: noun, feminine truth ;vèşjiu: noun, masculine track, step, footprint ;vidur: verb, transitive or intransitive to see ;vulgaru: adjective common, ordinary, unremarkable ===Grammar=== Regimonti (Rumanşa) is a Romance language with the vocabulary descending from classical Latin rather than vulgar Latin.

There are four verb conjugations in the language which are diplayed below. Only present tense appears in this so all others are suppressed for the sake of brevity. {| ! !!-ar !!-eor !!-or !!-ur |- ! !!Presèn !!Presèn !!Presèn !!Presèn |- | ||inf w/o -ar ||inf w/o -eor ||inf w/o -or ||inf w/o -ur |- | o ||-a ||-eo ||-è ||-o |- |tu ||-as ||-es ||-ès ||-us |- |eu, ea ||-a ||-e ||-è ||-u |- |nus ||-amu ||-eomu ||-èmu ||-imu |- |vus ||-at ||-èt ||-èt ||-it |- |es ||-an ||-èn ||-en ||-un |- | || || || || |- | !!candar !!başeor !!sèssor !!şribur |- |o ||canda ||başeo ||sèssè ||şribo |- |tu ||candas ||başes ||sèssès ||şribus |- |eu, ea ||canda ||başe ||sèssè ||şribu |- |nus ||candamu ||başeomu ||sèssèmu ||şribimu |- |vus ||candat ||başèt ||sèssèt ||şribit |es ||candan ||başèn ||sèssen ||şribun |- | ! !!Past Part !!Past Part !!Past Part !!Past Part |- | ||candaşa ||başoti ||sèsse ||şriboşi |} ====Irregular Verbs==== {| ! !!etur !!pozur !!valiur |- |o ||e ||po ||valo |- |tu ||ès ||pus ||valus |- |éu, éa ||e ||pu ||valu |- |nus ||emu ||pimu ||valimu |- |vus ||èt ||pit ||valit |- |és ||èn ||pun ||valun |- |Past Part ||eu ||puzi ||valoşi |} ====Pronouns==== {| ! !!Nominative !!Reflexive |- |1st sing ||o ||me |- |2nd sing ||tu ||te |- |3rd sing, m,f ||eu, ea ||se |- |1st pl ||nus ||nem |- |2nd pl ||vus ||vem |- |3rd pl ||es ||ses |} ====Articles==== {| ! !!Def !!Indef |- |masc ||lu ||unu |- |fem ||la ||una |- |plu ||les ||unes |} The article “unes” corresponds to “some”, “a few” etc. preposition "de" contracted with the definite article {| !Masculine !!Feminine !!Plural |- |deu ||dea ||des |} ====Near Demonstrative==== {| !Masculine !!Feminine !!Plural |- |ècu ||èca ||èces |} ====Adjective Endings==== {| !Masc !!Fem !!Plu |- |-u ||-a ||-es |} ====Comparative adjective==== {| !Masc !!Fem !!Plu |- ||-ear ||-ear ||-eares |} ====Superlative form==== Definite article + antecedent + comparative form Lu maxear homu = the biggest man.

However, shortly after we get excited and we begin to move purposefully, we show the feelings which surpass the human soul.

However, soon after we get excited and we start to move purposefully, we show the true feelings that transcend the human soul. Thus the spoken words of God are without doubt and speak truth.

Most other words can be found in the old vocabulary list at http://beckerscarsten.de/conlang/ayeri/dictionary.html. ===Grammar=== All grammar that is up so far can be read at http://benung.freehostia.com/?go=grammar&action=grammar.The grammar notes presented here are rather incomplete in that they only contain things that are most important in order to translate this text. ====Typology==== * Ayeri has V-A-P-Obl constituent order (Obl = oblique arguments, i.e. non-core arguments). * Whether it is Nom/Acc or Erg/Abs is not very clear. * Modifiers (including possessive pronouns) commonly follow their heads. ====Nouns==== * Nouns are marked for these cases: ** Agent - Who does something? (also, origin in ditransitive clauses) *** suffix: ''-ang'' (animate), ''-reng'' (inanimate) *** prefixed to a verb to mark focus on that argument: ''ang'' (animate), ''eng'' (inanimate) *** prefixed before name: ''ang'' (animate) ** Patient - Who is affected by the action? (also, thing given in ditransitive clauses) *** suffix: ''-as'' (animate), ''-ley'' (inanimate) *** prefixed to a verb to mark focus on that argument: ''sa'' (animate), ''le'' (inanimate) *** prefixed before name: ''sa'' (animate) ** Benefactive - Who is in benefit of the action? (also, recipient of ditransitive clauses) *** suffix: ''-yam'' *** prefixed to a verb to mark focus on that argument: ''yam'' *** prefixed before name: ''yam'' ** Genitive - Who does something belong to? Where is it from? *** suffix: ''-(e)na'' (the ‘e’ is infixed when the stem ends in a consonant) *** prefixed to a verb to mark focus on that argument: ''na'' *** prefixed before name: ''na'' ** Locative - Where is something? *** suffix: ''-ya'' when the stem ends in a vowel, ''-ea'' when the stem ends in a consonant *** prefixed to a verb to mark focus on that argument: ''ya'' *** prefixed before name: ''ya'' ** Instrumentative - By means of what or whom is the action done? Who helped? *** suffix: ''-(e)ri'' (‘e’ is infixed when the stem ends in a consonant) *** prefixed to a verb to mark focus on that argument: ''ri'' *** prefixed before name: ''ri'' ** Causative - What is the reason for the action? Who made it happen (on purpose)? *** suffix: ''-isa'' *** prefixed to a verb to mark focus on that argument: ''sā'' *** prefixed before name: ''sā'' * Nouns are also marked for number ** Marker: ''-ye'' ** If there is a measurement either implied or given as e.g. “three”, “many” etc. nouns are not marked for number. * Nouns are by default without any articles * The closest thing to an indefinite article is ''mə-'', which means “some X” in the sense of something rather general, like German ''irgendein''. * Some nouns are in plural by default, they have been given in their respective form in the vocabulary list. * The demonstrative articles are: ** near: ''eda-'' ** far: ''ada-'' ** "such": ''da-'' * The demonstrative pronoun ''adanya'' is frequently used instead of third person pronouns. ====Noun phrases and topic marking==== * The topic of a sentence, which comes closest to the Subject of IE languages, is marked by omitting the case marker of an NP’s head noun and putting it in front of the verb as an anaphora to the NP. * Topic marking does not work with objects of participles. ====Verbs and Verb phrases==== * Verbs can have a very high information load in Ayeri. * Focus markers are always the first element of a verb phrase. They are anaphora to the argument of the sentence that is in focus (see above). * After that (if present) follow preverbal adverbs: Words like ''ming'' have been classified as adverbs in this grammar, though not undisputedly so. They are derived from regular verbs, so they might as well be regarded as auxiliaries — except that they are not inflected for anything because the content verb carries the inflections instead. * The verb stem itself can be further modified by the tense prefixes as well as suffixes for mood and person agreement with the agent of a transitive clause or the only argument of an intransitive sentence, which may be both an agent or a patient. * The word ''manga'' can also be put in the place of preverbal adverbs in order to indicate progressive aspect. It is not as widely used as in English however. * When the agent (or the single argument of an intransitive clause) of a sentence is expressed as a pronoun, this pronoun attaches to the end of a verb word, replacing the person agreement with a case-marked form of it. * Adverbs of degree and measure are always appended to the end of a verb phrase, usually hyphenated. * Adverbs of manner always follow the whole verb complex, temporal adverbs often precede it. * The copula ''yoma-'', ‘to be, to exist’, is usually omitted, except when the context explicitly requires TAM marking. * Tense markers: ** Present: Ø- ** Near or immediate past: ka- ** Past: ma- ** Remote past: va- ** Near or immediate future: pa- ** Future: se- ** Remote future: ni- * Mood markers (preceding vowel is always deleted): ** Indicative: Ø- ** Imperative: -u ** Subjunctive: -ong ** Habitative: -asa * Participles following modal verbs are formed by marking a verb with the benefactive case ending, e.g. verb tuyayam, ‘verb dancing’ or ‘verb to dance’. ====Adjectives and Adverbs==== * Adjectives and adverbs always follow their heads * They do not show agreement with their heads, except in some very old-fashioned styles ====Pronouns==== * Ayeri has got a lot of personal pronouns, which are irregularly formed due to the unmarked person agreement clitics having merged with the case markers over time {| border="1" | width="75" | '''Agent''' | width="75" | '''Patient''' | width="75" | '''Genitive''' | width="75" | '''Benefactive''' | width="75" | '''Locative''' | width="75" | '''Instrum.''' | width="75" | '''Causative''' | width="75" | '''Person agreement/<br /> Unmarked''' |- | '''1s''' | yang | yas | nā | yām | yā | rī | sā | ay |- | '''2s''' | vāng | vās | vana | vayam | vaya | vari | vasa | va |- | '''3s masc''' | yāng | yās | yana | yayam | yāy | yari | yasa | (-i)ya* |- | '''3s fem''' | yeng | yes | yena | yeyam | yea | yeri | yesa | (-i)ye* |- | '''3s neut''' | yong | yos | yona | yoyam | yoa | yori | yosa | (-i)yo* |- | '''3s inanimate''' | reng | raley | ran | rayam | raya | reri | rasa | ara |- | '''1p''' | nang | nas | nana | nyam | nya | ni | nisa | ayn |- | '''2p''' | vāng | vās | vana | vayam | vaya | vari | vasa | va |- | '''2p hon''' | vayang | vayas | vayena | vayyam | vayea | vayeri | vayisa | vay |- | '''3p masc''' | tang | tas | tan | tyam | tya | tri | tis | (-i)yan* |- | '''3p fem''' | teng | tes | ten | teyam | teya | teri | teys | (-i)yen |- | '''3p neut''' | tong | tos | ton | toyam | toya | tori | toys | (-i)yon |- | '''3p inanimate''' | teng | ratey | ten | ratyam | ratya | ray | ratas | aran |} * when pronouns beginning with 'y' are suffixed to verbs, ‘i’ is inserted when the preceding morpheme ends in a consonant. * Reflexive pronouns are formed with ''sitang-'' plus the respective pronoun. ====Relative clauses==== * The relative pronoun is ''s(i)-'', or ''si'' when it is directly following the NP that is described by the relative clause * The relative pronoun can be marked for its head’s case in order to disambiguate. The head is in the matrix clause. The relative clause is usually a complete clause in that it contains at least an agent/patient and a verb. It can be used as an attributive clause as well (i.e. like an adjective). * It can be double-marked to derive forms like “of which”, e.g. ''sangena'' is the relative pronoun marked both for agent and for genitive. ====Prepositions/postpositions==== * Ayeri usually has prepositions, although for example ''kaivay'' ‘without’ is usually a postposition. The number of such words is very small though. * Adpositions are technically nouns, though they already include the ‘of' that would be necessary in English, e.g. ''ling Xya'' = top_of X-LOC, i.e. ‘on X’. Dependants of locatives must be marked with the locative case. When there is no adposition but only an NP marked for the locative case, the adposition is implied by semantics. It is usually ‘in’ or ‘at’. * The word ''manga'' put before an adposition denotes moving along the path that is defined by the preposition: ''manga ling Xya'' = MOT top_of X-LOC, i.e. ‘over X’ Conlang Relay 15/Mirexu 4904 32212 2008-06-03T13:19:06Z PeteBleackley 179 Uploaded text by Amanda Babcock Furrow ===Text=== ====ifwefu neatarbepukopu lupsia ajaelup==== ifwefu tidu nultitei kjeluapasep, tidu nisozhutei luapasep. pulkoa attijukwiv. ti jedeweso isewedu luapasep. ti apukop. pukowetei kjemni jutjurausapu kujufemerusap. kwipwena kjeataduirupse ti vapasesep. ti siwedu lutepu reapasep. tigi kjeankehisepi tia anatjurausadep. pulok femeruresapu kjedarauresapu tameluskisuresapu aletamlusap. ===Smooth translation=== ====One sees the way that they dance==== One moves not with their music, but with their voices. They have studied dance. They move with creativity and possibility. They dance. Their style of dancing is the happiest and most beautiful. Because they do not have learning they can move. They circle and move as one. That they are unable not to try makes them happy. The dances are more beautiful, more unsaddening, more complex, and different. ===Interlinear=== {| |ifwefu ||ne- ||at- ||a- ||rbepuko ||-p ||-u ||lupsi ||-a ||aj- ||a- ||el ||-up |- |N ||REL- ||3pl.erg- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP ||-ADJ ||N ||-ACC ||3sg.m.erg- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |ifwefu ||ti ||-du ||nulti ||-tei ||kje- ||lu- ||a- ||pase ||-p |- |N ||3pl ||-OBL ||N ||-3pl.poss ||NEG- ||COM- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |ti ||-du ||nisozhu ||-tei ||lu- ||a- ||pase ||-p |- |-3pl ||-OBL ||N ||-3pl.poss ||COM- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |pulko ||-a ||at- ||ti- ||jukwi ||-v |- |N ||-ACC ||3pl.erg- ||PT- ||V ||-PERF |} {| |ti ||jedewe ||-so ||isewe ||-du ||lu- ||a- ||pase ||-p |- |3pl.nom ||N ||-CONJ ||N ||-OBL ||COM- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |ti ||a- ||puko ||-p |- |3pl.nom ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |pukowe ||-tei ||kjem ||-ni ||jutjurausa ||-p ||-u ||ku- ||jufemerusa ||-p |- |N ||-3pl.poss ||N ||-3sg.n.poss ||V ||-IMP ||-CONJ ||FUT- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |kwipwe ||-na ||kje- ||at- ||a- ||duiru ||-p ||-se |- |N ||-SUB.OBL ||NEG- ||3pl.erg- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP ||-ADVCLAUSE |} {| |ti ||v- ||a- ||pasese ||-p |- |3pl.nom ||REAS- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |ti ||siwe ||-du ||lute ||-p ||-u ||re- ||a- ||pase ||-p |- |3pl.nom ||N ||-OBL ||V ||-IMP ||-CONJ ||SUBS- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |ti ||-gi ||kje- ||a- ||nkehise ||-p ||-i ||ti ||-a ||an- ||a- ||tjurausade ||-p |- |3pl ||-SUB.NOM ||NEG- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP ||-COMP ||3pl ||-ACC ||3sg.n.erg- ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} {| |pulok ||femeruresa ||-p ||-u ||kje- ||darauresa ||-p ||-u |- |N ||V ||-IMP ||-CONJ ||NEG- ||V ||-IMP ||-CONJ |} {| |tameluskisuresa ||-p ||-u ||a- ||letamlusa ||-p |- |V ||-IMP ||-CONJ ||PR- ||V ||-IMP |} ====Key==== ;3pl: third person plural ;3pl.erg: " " " ergative ;3pl.nom: " " " nominative ;3pl.poss: " " ", possessive ;3sg.m.erg: third person singular, male, ergative ;3sg.n.erg: third person singular, neuter, ergative ;3sg.n.poss: " " " ", possessive ;ACC: accusative case ;ADJ: adjectival relative clause ending ;ADVCLAUSE: adverbial clause ending ;COM: comitative/instrumental role marker, agrees w/argument in oblique case ;COMP: subordinate complement clause ending ;CONJ: conjunctive ending ;FUT: future tense ;IMP: imperfective aspect ;N: noun ;NEG: negation ;OBL: oblique case (agrees with role marker on verb) ;PERF: perfective aspect ;PR: present tense ;PT: past tense ;REAS: reason clause agreement marker (agrees with adverbial clause) ;REL: relative clause ;SUB.NOM: nominative case in subordinate clause ;SUB.OBL: accusative/oblique case in subordinate clause ;SUBS: substitutive role marker, agrees with argument in oblique case ;V: verb ===Glossary=== ;a: accusative case ;a: present tense marker ;aj: 3rd person singular male ergative agreement marker ;an: 3rd person singular neuter ergative agreement marker ;at: 3rd person plural ergative agreement marker ;darauresa: to be sadder ;du: oblique case ending ;duiru: to have ;el: to see ;femeruresa: to be more beautiful ;gi: nominative case ending in subordinate clauses ;i: subordinate complement clause ending ;ifwefu: someone ;isewe: possibility ;jedewe: creativity ;jufemerusa: to be the most beautiful ;jukwi: to study, to master ;jutjurausa: to be the happiest ;kje: negation marker ;kjem: type, style ;ku: future tense marker ;kwipwe: learning, study ;letamlusa: to be different ;lu: comitative role marker ;lupsi: manner, way ;lute: to move in a circle ;na: accusative/oblique case ending in subordinate clauses ;ne: relative clause prefix ;ni: 3rd person singular neuter possessive ending ;nisozhu: voice ;nkehise: to be able not to try ;nulti: music ;p: imperfective aspect marker ;pase: to move ;pasese: to be flexible, to be able to move ;puko: to dance ;pukowe: dancing ;pulko: a dance ;pulok: dances, plural ;rbepuko: to dance in some manner ;re: "acting as" role marker (can't remember the name for this) ;se: adverbial clause ending ;siwe: being one, a unit ;so: conjunctive suffix for nouns ;tameluskisuresa: to be more complex ;ti: 3rd person plural pronoun ;ti: past tense marker ;tei: 3rd person plural possessive ending ;tjurausade: to make happy ;u: adjectival relative clause ending ;u: conjunctive suffix for verbs ;up: imperfective aspect marker (after consonants) ;v: reason clause agreement marker on main verb ===Grammar=== Verbs are marked for: agreement with certain types of subordinate clause; negation; agreement with any ergative argument; agreement with non-third-person absolutive arguments; agreement with each oblique argument; tense; and aspect. Verbs frequently contain many derivational morphemes which are not given separately above for time and space reasons. The verb paradigm is as follows: [ ADV ] [ NEG ] [ ABS ] [ ERG ] [ OBL [ OBL ...] ] TENSE verb-base ASPECT Verbs may form subordinate clauses in the following ways: *adverbial clauses: the adverbial clause marker -se is appended to a fully declined verb. Its arguments take on subordinate clause suffixes. In the main clause, an agreement morpheme is prefixed to the verb complex. *complement clauses: the complement clause marker -i is appended to a fully declined verb. Its arguments take on subordinate clause suffixes. In the main clause, the appropriate agreement for a third person singular neuter argument is used (usually null, as complement clauses are usually not agents). *relative clauses: the relative clause marker ne- is prefixed to a verb with core argument agreement, tense, aspect, and optional negation, but no oblique arguments or subordinate clause agreement markers. If an external head exists, the adjectival marker -u is appended. The position relativized is that of the absolutive argument. Verbs may combine through conjunction if they share all arguments (and therefore also degree of transitivity) and tense. All but the final verb are marked for aspect and negation only, and the conjunctive ending -u appended. The final verb is an ordinary fully declined finite verb. Nouns and free pronouns show nominative/accusative alignment, in contrast with the absolutive/ergative alignment of verb agreement. Since the ergative and absolutive agreement markers on the verb are really incorporated pronouns, any standalone pronoun agreed with by such a marker will not appear. However, as absolutive third person pronouns are not marked on the verb, they do appear either in the accusative as objects of transitive verbs, or in the nominative (with null case ending) as subjects of intransitive verbs. Nouns with the oblique case ending have their role marked on the verb. In subordinate clauses nominative nouns take the subordinate nominative ending, and accusative and oblique nouns take the subordinate oblique ending. Nouns may be possessed. If this is the case, instead of their case ending they have a possessive suffix. They will be preceded by their possessor (unless it is a pronoun which has been subsumed by a verb agreement marker), on which their case will be marked. Agreement on the verb is with the possessor, but the actual argument is the possessed noun. Nouns in the same case and to which all the same arguments (adjectives, relative clauses, possessors) apply may form conjunction by all but the first noun having the conjunctive noun suffix -so instead of a possessive or case suffix. The derivational verb prefix rbe- is used to create relative clauses of manner. For example, if "sosu" is "to sleep", "ti asosup" is "they sleep", "[...] atarbesosup" is "they sleep-in-manner [...]", then "neatarbesosup" is "how they sleep" and "neatarbesosupu lupsi" is "the way that they sleep".

This final -M dropped early, but to make the words look more like Latin, it was kept in the orthographic presentation here. Verbs are given in the infinitive, although the Terkunan form might have been derived from a different form.

The standard word order is SVO, but in some sentences, the verb may be fronted for focus changes and in imperatives (the subject is usually not dropped in imperatives). A 3rd person pronoun subject may be dropped, frequently with the verb 'es'. Oblique objects are typically before the direct object, but there is no strict rule and they may well also follow. Terkunan has optional definite and indefinite articles, which are often inserted to separate two noun phrases instead of to stress definiteness. The indefinite article is also the number word 'one'. Number is not marked on nouns, but only on pronouns, articles, and number words. A typical noun phrase without article is, therefore, underspecified wrt. number. Adverbs are usually fronted, but may also be in final position. Adjectives usually follow nouns. There are no compound verb forms in the text, so I'll drop anything about verbs.

These represent the same letter (/S/). Acute and grave accents denote primary and (in compounds) secondary stress, respectively. Vowels with acute or grave accents are not fundamentally different from the plain vowels, since the stress can shift when words are combined into compound words. Adjectives precede the nouns, but can also occur standalone (e.g. the big [one]). Cardinal numerals follow the nouns they belong to, ordinals precede them. There is no copula "to be": a noun or adjective may be used as predicate directly. If the predicate article is used and the subject is omitted, it denotes an existential construct. There are two cases used in this text: nominative and accusative. The cases are marked on the article. The absence of an article in the nominative indicates indefiniteness. All prepositions govern the nominative. The plural forms of nouns are formed (in this text) by replacing the vowel in the last syllable with "i". In compound words, the first part is the modifying part: a predicate A-B is a B of type A. Verbs have two voices: active and inverse. There are corresponding active and inverse participles, which have different forms depending on whether they are used as adjectives or adverbs. There are many conjunctions, nearly all of which express that one constituent of the first sentence is identical to one of the constituents in the second sentence. The constituent may be left out from one of the sentences. If one of the constituents is a prepositional object, a compound of the conjunction and the preposition is used. ===Smooth English translation of 'Yelms=== ====I have seen him dancing==== I have perceived that there is a person that moves and uses sound created by his voice and doesn't use music played by others.

Doubling of both consonants and vowels can be omitted at will. Spelling is shallow wrt devoicing assimilation: in voiceless context _dh, gh_ become _th, ch_, _x_ writes /ks/, /Gs/ etc., _z_ writes /ts/, /Ds/ etc. etc. _i j v w y_ may all be both consonants and vowels. Nouns, adjectives and pronouns have eight cases: {| | || sing. || plur. || |- | Nom./Voc. || -0 (zero) || -n || (subject) |- | Accusative || -dh || -nd || (direct object) |- | Dative || -s || -nz || 'for' |- | Genitive || -k || -nk || 'of' |- | Ablative || -r || -nnär || 'from'/'out of' |- | Instrumental || -gh || -ng || 'with' |- | Locative || -(u)m || -num || 'at'/'in' |- | Allative || -i || -ni || 'to'/'into' |} A theme vowel of varying quality goes between the stem and a plural ending. Mærik has Suffixaufnahme or "case stacking", i.e. a noun carrying a genitive ending may take a further grammatical or local case ending, e.g. dølk 'the farmer's', dølks or dølx 'for the farmer's' (dative of genitive). Adjectives inflect for case and number in congruence with their nouns, e.g. verghar trækker "From a big house", hughand skond "poor men (acc.)". Sometimes the same word functions as an adjective and as a noun for the quality denoted by the adjective. Most derived adverbs and some primary end in -m (with theme vowel). This formant is observed to coincide with the locative ending - probably not a coincidence! The demonstrative pronouns are often enclitically postposed to a noun, in which case their meaning is similar to a definite article. Both the noun and the "article" inflect for case. It should be observed that the -ann forms are often used where the context would properly call for the - edd forms. The infinitive or gerund, the imperative and the supine all consist in the bare stem, and can be distinguished only by their function, except that the infinitive/gerund can be inflected like a noun and the imperative often but not always is followed by a pronoun in the nominative/vocative.

They do not play musical instruments, they only make sounds with their own voices. The dance is not taught to them by written lessons, but they move randomly in every direction, wherever they want to go. They dance better than any other. There are no other dancers more skilled than they. They move and make gestures, it seems as if it has no purpose. It seems to be so easy.

In the glossary I've listed mostly only the root words, particles and suffixes, but also listed a few compounds used in the text where they seemed especially hard to guess from the component morphemes. Feel free to email asking for help, or look at the online lexicon. Root words are nominal, and are turned into verbs and modifiers --also postpositions and conjunctions — with appropriate suffixes.Compound postpostions, used to mark case roles, are formed using one of the core spacetime postpositions {i, o, ř} as a suffix on a rootword for the appropriate abstract concept. I've listed a few of the most abstract compound postpositions in the glossary; others should be clear enough from their component morphemes. The only verb suffixes used in the text are {-zô} and {-van}. {-zô}former marks an active (and agentive) verb. {-van} marks a stative(but not necessarily non-agentive) verb. Number is not obligatorily marked on nouns; {mâ} by itself could mean either "person" or "people" for instance. Typical word order is OVS, but varies since subjects and objects are marked fairly explicity for theta roles with postpositions. Postpositional phrases almost always precede what they modify. Most complements tend to precede the direct object and verb. If the subject is at the end of a clause or sentence, the subject postposition can be omitted. gjâ-zym-byn allows for omitting the subject when it is the same as in the previous sentence. Punctuation: all sentences end in a period. The exclamation point ! marks an imperative sentence. The apostrophe or single quote ' marks syllable boundaries in polysyllabic roots. ===Glossary=== ;bô: suff. quality noun -> adjective ;cô: suff. reverse, contradictory quality from root ;cu: n. complex system, organized group ;cu-rô: mod. complex, synergetic ;ðĭ: n. relationship, connection, assocation ;ðu: n. ability, capacity, power ;fâ: n. love, friendliness ;fâ-ŋĭw: n. emotional faculty ;flĭŋ: n. dance; moving about for fun ;fwa: suff. causative suffix ;₣um: n. similarity ;ga: suff. metaphorical extension of root's meaning ;gân: n. cause; determining condition ;heŋ: mod. negative particle; not, no ;hî'mâr: n. understanding, comprehension ;hǒl: mod. whole, entire(ly) ;hǒŋ: conj. that (introduces subordinate clauses) ;hu: n. essence, nature, set of essential qualities ;huw: n. happiness, contentment ;ĥy: n. patient, thing acted on ;ĥy-i: postp. patient case postpostition ;hyw: n. direct, interior knowledge; memory, experience ;i: postp. at, with ;im: postp. in (part of); of, belonging to (body parts, faculties) ;jâ: n. role, state, form ;jâ-o: postp. entering a state of, becoming ;jǒm: mod. most of, a majority of ;ʝĭl: n. motion in place; change of orientation, shift of position ;kâ: n. noticing, focusing one's attention upon, watching ;kě'ĝu: n. hiding, privacy, secrecy ;kiň: conj. and ;kî'ĥu: n. strength ;kǒ: dem. this ;Ќ: pron.

Where applicable, additional grammatical information will appear in parentheses, and additional etymological information will appear in brackets.

A PP can be moved to the front of a clause, but otherwise word order is maintained. Kamakawi is a pro-drop language. If the subject marker /e/ or /ae/ is used, the subject may be omitted, as it can be retained from the previous clause. Subject status markers let the hearer know if the subject of the new sentence (embedded or otherwise) is the same as the subject of the previous sentence. There are three possibilities: #It's identical; #it's from the previous clause, but isn't the previous clause's subject; #it's brand new (or more than a clause old). To mark these statuses, a particle is used which preposes the verb. The markers are as follows: *(k)e = (1) *(k)ae = (2) *(k)a = (3) Certain discourse particles (words like "because" and "so that") are suffixed directly to these subject status markers. So if you had a sentence like Kale X Y, it'd mean "Because Y did X". Adverbs occur sentence-finally, generally. Adverbs are sometimes used like modals in English. For example, if you say Ka mama eine i nawa (PAST hug woman PREP fish), it'd mean "The woman hugged a fish". If you say Ka mama eine i nawa tou (PAST hug woman PREP fish can), it'd mean "The woman could hug a fish". Where a verb has 2 arguments, the preposition /i/ marks the less agent-like of the two. For this reason, it's used to cover a whole range of prepositional functions, including spatial and temporal. Certain verbs take adverbial complements. They're listed in the lexicon as X...Y. For these verbs, any objects and subjects come in between the members X and Y. Otherwise, the two function as a single verb with a single meaning. When two vowels of the same quality occur next to one another, they're separated by a glottal stop. Kamakawi allows--and even encourages--double negation. The romanization system matches up fairly well with CXS, except for the following: [j] (palatal glide) = "y"; [?] (glottal stop) = "'" (an apostrophe). Additionally, capital letters are used at the beginning of sentences, and general English punctuation is used.

When they dance, they can make people standing around happy. After a short time, the dancers touch our emotions, and we begin to see the truth, and we realise that our spirit is being nourished. How can we obtain the nature of these dancers? Most people can see the movements of the dance, but they cannot understand the true purpose of this dance. ====From Previous Text==== This spectacle looks like dancing. All of mankind should see it. Look at it! Let us not only dance, but let us experience music and songs. Most people do not understand this, but this dance gives people inner strength of character. When they dance, they can make people around them happy. After only a short while, they touch our emotions, and we start to see truth, and we see that our spirit is enriched. How can we obtain the essential traits and properties which these dancers possess? Most people can watch the dance moves, but they do not understand the true purpose of this dance. ===Grammar=== Rhaetian is essentially a Hellenic language (descended from Ancient Greek) with German syntax and phonology. This means that: *word order is verb-second (V2) in main clauses, verb-final in subordinate clauses *pronouns are nearly never dropped, even though verb endings are usually distinctive *infinitives go to the end of the clause *adjectives precede nouns *genitives follow nouns *nouns (including nominalised adjectives) are capitalised *otherwise, grammar is fairly similar to English! Some Hellenisms (i.e. non-Germanisms) in Rhaetian: *demonstratives take the article after the demonstrative: "this dance" is "doder ha Gares", or literally "this the dance". *similarly, possessive adjectives take the article, but before the possessive adjective: "our [of two] dance" is "ha nöderer Gares", or literally "the our dance". *(the definite article is used when talking about abstract notions or entire categories, e.g. "he Aleteo" = "truth". ====Word order==== In main clauses, the verb phrase comes second. Exactly one of the other phrases precedes it, most often the subject (in which case we get SVO order), though it could be an adverbial, for example. All other phrases are behind the verb. Imperative sentences are verb-first. ====Case==== In a normal sentence, nominative, accusative, and dative are used for the subject, direct object, and indirect object of the verb, respectively. The genitive case is used to show possession (the possessor will appear in the genitive case). Some prepositions and verbs may also govern specific cases even where English might have an equivalent verb govern a different case. This will be noted in the vocabulary list, where applicable; for example, "to touch (something [gen.])" means that the verb means "to touch" and that the object (the thing touched) will be in the genitive case. ====Aspect==== Two aspects are present in this text: present and aorist. For infinitives and imperatives, the distinction is that a present form encodes a general or habitual meaning, while an aorist form encodes a specific or one-time meaning. For example, "I want to see[pres.] your book" would mean something like, "I want to be able to see it (always)", whereas "I want to see [aor.] your book" would mean something more like, "I want to see it (right now)". Similarly, "Fear[pres.] not!" would be a general admonition, to be of a courageous nature, whereas "Fear[aor.] not!" would be a command for the present situation. Indicative and subjunctive forms of the verbs in this text all happen to be in the present aspect, indicating either a general statement or something that takes place now. ====Imperative==== Rhaetian has an imperative not only for the second person ("Go!") but also for the first and second persons. Several first-person imperatives occur in the text; perhaps a better term for this form might be hortatives: for example, "let's go!". ====Number==== Rhaetian has not only a singular and a plural number, but also a dual number, used when speaking of exactly two people or things. ===Vocabulary=== The citation form is: *for nouns, the nominative singular *for pronouns and adjectives, the masculine nominative singular *for verbs, the active present infinitive "+" indicates that (a) this preposition is followed by a specific case;

In dancing, they are completely self-taught. Yet, in their movements they give everything their creativity and their physical possibilities allow them to; they are really dancing. One may even presume that their dancing style is the merriest and prettiest of all. Because they lack any formal education, they are able to move freely. They are whirling around in circles as if they were one living being. This makes them so happy that they just can't do it any differently. And this adds a combination of beauty and sadness to their dances, it makes them into something that is complicated and differs from anything else. ===Grammar=== Vozgian is a North-Slavic language that underwent some considerable influence from the Uralic languages. It is a highly synthetic language, mostly fusional but with agglutinative elements. Its grammar is rather complicated. In this relay I will not bother you with its (in)famous noun declensions from hell, the numerous verbal classes, etc. I'll limit myself to the most elementary. Word order is rather rigid: SOV. Nouns are inflected for gender (masculine, feminine, neuter), number (singular, dual, plural), case (13 cases), and definiteness (definite, indefinite). The latter is mostly a matter of a postfixed article; all forms are indefinite by default, unless otherwise marked. In combination with demonstrative and/or possessive pronoun, the indefinite form is normally used. In the glossary, all nouns are given in their basic form: the nominative singular (indefinite). In the text, you will encounter the following case endings: *masculine: *;-ентямес -entämes: comitative sg.def. *;-ух -uch: locative pl. *;-ўo -ŭo: genitive pl. *feminine: *;-е -e: nominative pl. *;-е -e: genitive sg. *;-oнтјöнс -ontjöns: comitative sg.def. *;-ö -ö: accusative sg. *neuter: *;-а -a: genitive sg. *;-ех -ech: locative pl. *;-ю -ü: locative sg. *;-юм -üm: dative pl. Adjectives, as well as demonstrative pronouns, possessive pronouns, numerals etc., agree with the noun in gender, number and case (but not in defininess, as only nouns make this distinction). They are always placed AFTER the noun they modify. In the glossary, the masculine nominative singular form is given, ending with -ы -ai. Apart from that, you will encounter the following adjectival endings: ;-аје: nom/acc.pl.fem. ;-ез -ez: elative pl. ;-ешы -ešai: comparative (inflected, of course, like an adjective) (in combination with the prefix "ны-" "nai-": superlative) ;-і -i: nom.pl.masc. ;-іх -ich: gen.pl. ;-у -u: nom.sg.neut. ;-ыгу -aigu: gen.sg.masc/neut. Verbs are inflected for person, number, tense, and mood. Verbal paradigmata in Vozgian are pretty huge, but let's keep it simple. In the glossary, verbs are giving in the infintive (ending: -ће -þe). In this text, the following forms appear: ;-х -ch: past tense, 3sg ;-ібы -ibai: conditional, 3pl ;-нћ -nþ: present tense, 3pl ;-ћ -þ: present tense, 3sg Besides, we have a few participles. These are inflected like adjectives. The masculine nominative singular endings are: ;-нћы -nþai: present active participle ;-ны -nai: perfect passive participle ;-шы -šai: perfect active participle In the case of irregularities, you will find both forms in the glossary: the irregular form as used in the text, and the "basic" form. Where it comes to pronouns, I have decided to give all pronouns used in this text a separate entry in the glossary, as most of them are irregular anyway. When a verb is reflexive, the reflexive pronoun "се-" "se-" is prefixed to the verb. As pro-drop is not allowed in Vozgian, when a reflexive verb appears without a subject, this implies and impersonal subject: "one can see...", "it is said that...", etc. When a verb is negated, this is also indicated with the help of a prefix: "не-" "ne-". Unlike Russian, Vozgian has a fully inflected and pretty irregular verb "to be": "быће" "baiþe". But just like Russian, Vozgian lacks a word for "to have". Instead, the genitive is used in combation with a form of "быће" "baiþe". So instead of "I have two parrots", the Vozgians say: "Mine are two parrots" (actually, more literally: "Mine parrots two are", but that's a different story). That's all I can think of for now. So let's move on to the glossary... ===Glossary=== Keep in mind that I follow Cyrillic alphabetisation here! ;а a: (conj) and, but ;ак ak: (adv, conj) how, in what way, like ;быће baiþe: (n) being, creature ;быће baiþe: (v) to be :бялібы bälibai: (v) cond.3pl. of "быће" ;везелы vezelai: (adj) merry, joyful ;весе vese: (pron.ind.) all, everything ;вешхы vešchai: (adj) every, all ;гoлс gols: (m) voice ;дадoнћ dadonþ: (v) pres.3pl. of "даће" ;даће daþe: (v) to give :дoдаће dodaþe: (v) to add, to give to ;двікнoће dviknoþe: (v) to move ;двікће dvikþe: (n) movement; moving ;дoсевўoліће dosevŭoliþe: (v) to permit, to allow ;дялаће dälaþe: (v) to do, to make ;ену enu: (num.card.) nom.sg.neut. of "іђін" "iðin" ;ету etu: (pron.pers.) it ;ећ eþ: (v) pres.3sg. of "быће" "baithe" ;жіће žiþe: (v) to live ;зўoнк zŭonk: (m) sound ;іђенак iðenak: (adv) yet, however ;іђін iðin: (num.card.) one ;імяны imänai: (adj) own ;і i: (conj) and ;іда ida: (adv) even ;ім im: (pron.pers.) dative of "іће" "iðe" ;інак inak: (adv) otherwise, else, in another way ;інчеду inčedu: (pron.ind.) something else, anything else ;інчедўoд inčeduod: (pron.ind.) ablative of "інчеду" "inčedu" ;іће iþe: (pron.pers.) they ;іх ich: (pron.pers.) genitive of "іће" "iþe" ;іхез ichez: (pron.pers.) elative of "іће" "iþe" ;кялу kälu: (adv) wholly, entirely ;кедусе keduse: (pron.ind.) someone, somebody ;кoғусе kohuse: (pron.ind.) genitive of "кедусе" "keduse" ;кoмбінаціа kombinacia: (f) combination ;крoнженје kronženje: (n) dance; dancing ;крoнжіће kronžiþe: (v) to dance ;крoнк kronk: (m) circle ;крöнтіће krontiþe: (v) to turn, to spin ;лађены laðenai: (adj) nice, pretty ;лећену leþenu: (adv) easily, simply, just ;людoве lüdove: (m.pl.) people ;мoғoнћ mohonþ: (v) pres.3pl. of "мöхће" "mochþe" ;мoжамoћ možamoþ: (f) possibility ;мoжећ možeþ: (v) pres.3sg. of "мöхће" "mochþe" ;мöхће mochþe: (v) can, may, be able ;музика muzyka: (f) music ;мястятум mästätum: (prep with gen.) instead of ;не- ne: (prefix) not ;ны- nai: (prefix) superlative marker ;oбсерваціа observacia: (f) observation ;oржены orženai: (adj) different ;правўoће pravŭoþe: (adv) really, truly ;прібераће priberaþe: (v) assume, suppose ;пякрoћ päkroþ: (f) beauty ;самo- samo-: (prefix) self- ;се- se: (pron.refl.) oneself ;села sela: (adv) for this reason ;села шу sela šu: (conj) because ;сет set: (pron.dem.) this ;сету setu: (pron.dem.) nom.sg.neut. of "сет" "set" ;сеченћеніће sečenþeniþe: (v) to make happy ;сім sim: (pron.dem.) dat.pl. of "сет" "set" ;сoнћ sonþ: (v) pres.3pl. of "быће" "baithe" ;спoле spole: (adv, postp with comitative) together (with), along (with) ;стил stil: (m) style ;сулöжены sulöženai: (adj) complicated, complex ;сумoнћенoћ sumonþenoþ: (f) sadness ;сўoвoђенo sŭovoðeno: (adv) freely, liberally ;сўöй sŭöj: (pron.poss.) one’s own ;так tak: (adv) so, in such way ;такак takak: (conj) so that; as if ;тялесены tälesenai: (adj) physical, pertaining to the body ;уважаће uvažaþe: (v) to notice ;увідеће uvideþe: (v) to see (perfective) ;узюченје uzüčenje: (n) education ;умяће umäþe: (v) to be able, to know how to ;фoрмалены formalenai: (adj) formal ;чеду čedu: (pron.int.) what ;чедусе čeduse: (pron.ind.) something ;челoвяк čeloväk: (m) human being, person ;чемук čemuk: (pron.int.) allative of "чеду" "čedu" ;чінітелнoћ činitelnoþ: (f) creativity ;чініће činiþe: (v) to make, to create ;ші ši: (pron.dem.) nom.pl.masc. of "сет" "set" ;шу šu: (conj) that ;ючіће üčiþe: (v) to teach Conlang Relay 15/säb zjeda 4919 29988 2008-03-17T13:54:20Z PeteBleackley 179 New page: ==Contact Details== A1973@B.C ;A:jimhenry ;B:gmail ;C:com ==Contact Details== A1973@B.C ;A:jimhenry ;B:gmail ;C:com Conlang Relay 15/Vetela 4922 33097 2008-06-18T15:50:25Z PeteBleackley 179 Uploaded text by Kinetic ===The Text=== I mikova talezo zenmeune.

Let us two not only dance, but also take pleasure in the music and the songs. Though most people don't understand it, this dance gives people inner strength of character. When people dance, they can make those around them happy. After a short while, the dancers touch our emotions, we start to see the truth, and we observe that our spirit has been nourished. How can we acquire the nature of this dance? Most people can see the motions of this dance, but they cannot understand its true purpose. ===Grammar=== Vetela is head-final / left-branching, so: *adjectives precede nouns *adverbs and objects precede verbs *postpositions, not prepositions *the verb is the final word in any clause ====Verbs==== Vetela is also an ergative language these days, so the patient of a transitive verb and the subject of an intransitive verb are treated in the same way (both take the absolutive case, unmarked), while the agent (subject) of a transitive verb is treated differently (it takes the ergative case, marked with -ma). Since the basic word order is SOV, in transitive verb constructions the agent generally comes before the patient. If a verb with a fundamentally intransitive meaning is used transitively, this expresses causativity (e.g. "lesta" means "be happy" when used intransitively, and "to cause to be happy" when used transitively). The presence of an agent in ergative case is sufficient to implicitly transitivise a verb. However, ambiguity can arise when applying verb-modifying affixes to a verb thus transitivised: for example, applying the potential infix ("-alv-") to the verb "to see" ("zena"), we get "zenalva", meaning "to be able to see"; but when used transitively, does this mean "to be able to cause to see" or "to cause to be able to see"? In order to resolve this ambiguity, there exists an explicit transitivising infix, "-oz-". To continue with the same example, "zenozalva" would be "to be able to cause to see", while "zenalvoza" would be "to cause to be able to see". A verbal noun in the allative case acts as an imperative. Both 1st and 2nd person imperatives exist in the text. ====Nouns==== Nouns (and pronouns) are not marked for definiteness or number, though number may be made explicit by (among other means) simply placing a number before a noun or pronoun. Compound nouns are common; like everything else they work in a left-branching way (i.e. the last element in the compound is what the word actually /is/, the previous ones qualify it in some way). To give an example using words from the text, "talezakiula" would be "dance-music". Postpositions generally take their arguments in the genitive case; additionally, some verbs take some of their arguments in specific cases too. Where this differs from what would be intuitive, the required case is noted in the vocab list: e.g. "to enjoy [ablative]" means that the object (the thing enjoyed) takes the ablative case. ====Directional demonstratives==== The demonstrative particles "i" ("this") and "ku" ("that") can join with the 3rd-person pronoun "ta" to form pronouns which act in specific directions. "Ita" is used cataphorically (to refer forward to a referent that appears after the pronoun), while "kuta" is used anaphorically (to refer backward to a previous referent). ===Vocabulary=== I've simplified things for this vocab section. Word classes such as "noun", "verb" and "adjective" don't exist as such, but I've pretended that they do, listing forms as they appear in the text and labelling them appropriately. The verbs in the list are shown in their dictionary form, i.e. a verbal noun in "-a" (this may be thought of as an infinitive). In the text, however, they appear in various inflected forms, especially the present tense "-e" (see list of affixes below). All nouns and verbs drop their final -a before appending suffixes.

Some of the more developed ones are: *[['Yemls]] (uses roman alphabet as syllabary and has interchangeable parts of speech) *[[Vallés]] (a not-quite-generic Romlang) *[[Naisek]] (a not-quite Euroclone) *[[K'tlê]] (head-marking with a 2-1-3 person hierarchy and a fairly small phoneme set) While I plan to put the results on my own googlepages site, I'm putting a copy of the schedule and some other info here on FrathWiki at [[Conlang Translation Relay 16]]. A little more recently, I've worked on a couple of auxlangs: FIAL (First IAL) and [[SIAL]] (Second IAL) -- I'd like to avoid wiki pages pending name changes, but couldn't -- with somewhat different approaches. SIAL actually has more than a trivial number of words (for a change; it helps to adapt recognizable Latin words), although a lot of it is provisional. Even more recently, I've started a number of sketches. One is TriCons4, which is supposed to be triconsonantal, but doesn't go very far along that road; a bit more like PIE, only simpler (but then, what isn't?). Another is Q-OVS aka Ŋovasi aka Kàafesà; it's OVS as the first name suggests and has active alignment. I've played with trying to do a Pao-type language as well. I've also started a language for fictional purposes, but I may reuse the syntax for another auxlang (TIAL, I suppose). Actually, I've been working on [[TIAL]] for some time now; I don't remember if I reused the syntax. Aside from that, I've been playing with switch-reference and clause-chaining.

The basic sentence structure is Trigger {Cause} {Agent} {Primary object} Verb {Secondary Object} {Instrument} Any argument in braces is optional, or may be taken by the trigger according to the voice of the verb. The primary object is the object in a simple transitive sentence, and the recipient in a ditransitive sentence. The secondary object corresponds to the direct object in a ditransitive sentence.

They're completely self-taught at dancing. However, they're giving everything in one's own movements, toward which they permit them their creativity and physical possibility - they really dance. It can even be assumed that their style of dancing is the most joyful and nicest of all. Because their formal education doesn't exist, they know how to move freely. They turn themselves as if they should be a single living thing. This makes them so happy that they just can't act otherwise. But it adds this combination of beauty and sadness to the dances; it creates something out of them which is complicated and different from anything else. ===Grammar=== 'Yemls is an agglutinating SVO language written using a syllabary which resembles the alphabet. The most important thing to know is that any content word can appear in either the verb position (V) or as part of a noun phrase (S or O). Note that words within noun phrases may also have objects. The inflectional morphology is strictly verbal. Singular and plural aren't distinguished. There's no case marking. The role a subject or object phrase plays depends on the argument structure of the verb or the head word of which the phrase may be an object. Each content word has a basic argument structure which applies when no grammatical voice prefix is used; this is listed in the vocabulary. The first letter indicates the role of the subject, the second indicates that of the first object, and the third indicates that of the second object. These are left blank (or indicated with a (-)) for objects that can't occur. The letters are used also in most of the definitions; this should clear up what the letters stand for. The grammatical voice prefixes A, P, C, and L rearrange the argument structure. The L prefix puts the subject in front of the first object. The A, P, and C prefixes move the A, P, and C objects, respectively, to the subject position. The original subject isn't deleted, but moved to one of the object positions. An A subject will end up as the second (in some case only) object, while a P or C subject will end up as the first object. An AP subject acts like an A subject. The subject is always followed by (:). In clauses where the subject has been omitted, (:) is attached to the preceding conjunction. The omitted subject is (here) the same as the matrix subject. The pronouns ii, dd, aa, and ss have different forms depending on where they appear. The full forms are used as independent object pronouns. The hyphenated forms (-i, -d, -a, and -s) are used as enclitic objects, and the other single character forms (i, d, a, and s) are used as subjects. See the vocabulary for additional notes. ===Vocabulary=== The argument structures here are simplified; only the relevent parts are given. The words are in syllabary order, I'm afraid! ====Affixes and Clitics==== ;E: prefix marks secondary predicate and certain adverbials ;P: prefix changes argument structure, making P the subject ;L:

This being the third conlang, I personally strived to make a conlang not have a very complicated grammatical structure so it would be easier to use and learn, but still retain that kind of structure. In a way Thorsutian is connected to my previous conlang, Musmeh. However, there are many differences and revisions enough to classify it as a different language. Thorsutian is the official language of the Republic of Thorsutia. Torsutё, nedojnozi lazgu, ёnaçil Indo-Jevropa nidkisёn.

The speakers are semi-agriculturalists, who have adopted many of the [[Etimri]]-speakers' crops, although not many of their methods. Still heavily reliant on fishing, and to a much lesser extent, gathering, they are considered relatively primitive by the Faraneih and other political powers in the area. The speakers of this language refer to themselves as the "Tnusjaktut", meaning Tnusjakt-speakers. ==Phonological Chart== {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Bilabial !Alveolar !Palatal !Velar |- |'''Stop''' | align=center | {{IPA|p}} | align=center | {{IPA|t}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|k}} |- |'''Nasal''' | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|n}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Fricative''' | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|s}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Approximant''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|j}} | &nbsp; |} ==Phonlogy== *Phonemes: **/p t k s n j a i u/ *Phonotactics: **Onsets: ***Any Consonant ***(s) + p / t / k + (n) + (j) ***Nothing **Coda: ***Any Consonant ***(s / n) + p / t / k + (s) ***p / k + t / p / k ***Nothing *Allophony: **Stress-Related ***/ˈa ˈi ˈu/ > [áː íː úː] ***/ˌa ˌi ˌu/ > [aː iː uː] ***unaccented /a i u/ > [ə e o] *** #/ˈt ˈp ˈk/ > [ts) pɸ) kx)]~[tʰ pʰ kʰ] **Voicing-Related ***/t p k/ > [d b g], when between vowels or /n/ ***/s/ > [z]~[ɹ], when between vowels or /n/ ***/t p k/ > [d b g], when final after /a/ ***/t p k/ > [dʑ) bʲ ɟ], when final after /i/ ***/t p k/ > [dˠ bˠ ɢ], when final after /u/ ***/s/ > [z]~[h], when final after a vowel **Cluster-Related ***/n/ assimilates to following consonant in clusters ***/tj/ > [tɕ)j] when initial or in a cluster with another voiceless consonant, [dʑ)j] otherwise ***/kj/ > [cj ɟj] with the same distinction ***/pj/ > [pʲj bʲj] with the same distinction ***/sj/ > [ɕj ʑj] with the same distinction ***/apk akp/# > [agb)] ***/ipk ikp/# > [iɟbʲ)] ***/upk ukp/# > [uɢbˠ)] ***/ukt/# > [uɣ_edˠ] ***/ikt/# > [iɟdʲ] ***/akt/# > [agd] ***/apt/# > [abd] ***/ipt/# > [ibʲdʲ] ***/upt/# > [ubˠdˠ] ***a + i + consonant > vowel + j ***a + u + consonant > vowel + w ***a + i# > ai) ***a + u# > au) ***i + a > ja ***u + a > wa ==Morphology== Tnusjakt is relatively inflecting, in that it has established declension patterns and conjugations, and, similarly to Latin and other inflecting languages, lacks commonly used pronouns. Three cases are distinguished: Oblique (topic-marking, arguably), Nominative, and Accusitive. Singular and Plural forms are distinguished in oblique and accusitive forms, but not the nominative. For example, nanp, meaning branches, fits the first declension, nouns whose final vowel is a -- {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Singular !Plural |- |'''Oblique (Comment)''' | align=center | {{IPA|inanp}} | align=center | {{IPA|ininp}} |- |'''Nominative (Oblique)''' | align=center | {{IPA|nanp}} | align=center | {{IPA|nanp}} |- |'''Accusitive''' | align=center | {{IPA|knanp}} | align=center | {{IPA|kninp}} |} When an illegal cluster between k and the nominative onset would otherwise occur, an epenthetic a is inserted. The second declension is made of nouns whose final vowel is u. For example, pnuk, woman, declines thus -- {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Singular !Plural |- |'''Oblique (Comment)''' | align=center | {{IPA|ipnuk}} | align=center | {{IPA|ipnik}} |- |'''Nominative (Oblique)''' | align=center | {{IPA|pnuk}} | align=center | {{IPA|pnuk}} |- |'''Accusitive''' | align=center | {{IPA|kapnuk}} | align=center | {{IPA|kapnik}} |} The third and final class is made of nouns whose final vowel is i. For example, kint, meaning idea. {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Singular !Plural |- |'''Oblique (Comment)''' | align=center | {{IPA|ikint}} | align=center | {{IPA|ikint}} |- |'''Nominative (Oblique)''' | align=center | {{IPA|kint}} | align=center | {{IPA|kint}} |- |'''Accusitive''' | align=center | {{IPA|kakint}} | align=center | {{IPA|kakint}} |} Note how no distinction is made between the singular and plural, because the earlier i-mutation could not affect a stem vowel of /i/. To clarify the distinctions between these cases, Oblique (topic) is solely used when marked for topic, and therefore is often considered anything but oblique. Nominative is frequently alternatively considered oblique as (while it definitively fills the role of a verb's subject) it is the only form used with various prepositions. The use of the nominative with prepositions is one of the more common examples of alleged Rajo-Faraneit influence. As for verbs, there are only two true tenses: the perfect and imperfect, which function similarly to a past/non-past system. The particle/adverb tu, meaning now or presently, is extremely frequently used, and therefore is sometimes referred to as the present tense particle, but this is a minority interpretation. There are no imperfect forms of "to be", and that verb is highly irregular in the perfect. {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Imperfect |- |'''First Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|un}} |- |'''Second Person Formal''' | align=center | {{IPA|unak}} |- |'''Second Person Informal''' | align=center | {{IPA|ip}} |- |'''Third Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|sip}} |} When it comes to conjugation, no distinctions are made regarding number, which is generally credited to [[Proto-Rajo-Faraneit|Rajo-Faraneit Languages]]' influence. A highly non-Rajo-Faraneit conjugated distinction is made between formal and informal forms of the second person. For example, the regular verb kjunt, to nibble/munch, conjugates as -- {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Imperfect !Perfect |- |'''First Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|kjuntju}} | align=center | {{IPA|kjuntsta}} |- |'''Second Person Formal''' | align=center | {{IPA|kjuntja}} | align=center | {{IPA|kjunttja}} |- |'''Second Person Informal''' | align=center | {{IPA|kjunti}} | align=center | {{IPA|kjunttjai}} |- |'''Third Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|kjunti}} | align=center | {{IPA|kjuntank}} |} Please note that the tt clusters are actually /t.t/, where a final /t/ from the stem, and an initial /t/ from the affix meet. Also, the terminal /a/ in kjuntsta is purely epenthetic and missing in many forms. ==Syntax== Word order is rather fluid. Generally, topic proceeds other parts of the sentence, then followed by subject, then object, and finally verb. This emphasizes the Topic and to a lesser extent the Subject. Other constructions are additionally extremely common, however, particularly TOSV, TSVO, SVOT, STVO. The first two are subtler promotions of the object's role. The third emphasizes the topic and object together. The fourth emphasizes the interaction between the topic and object, and is often used in cause and effect explanations. ==Lexicon== [[Tnusjakt Lexicon]] Tnusjakt Lexicon 4936 30167 2008-03-24T03:22:08Z Humancadaver101 212 first entries [[Tnusjakt]] ==a== ANTJAK = ''n'' deer ==i== ==u== UNSPNAS = ''v'' to collect, to gather UNKT = ''n'' man ==p== PNUK = ''n'' woman ==t== ==n== NANP = ''n'' branches ==s== ==j== JAN = ''adv'' now, presently ==k== KJUNT = ''v'' to nibble/munch Ta Raonta 4937 30234 2008-03-25T23:06:21Z Gnodaslov 1196 link to Swadesh list {{Language| | English = Stonelandic | native = Ta Raonta | country = Stoneland | nativecountry = Hajax Raonta | universe = Bazariya (continent) | speakers = 15 million | family = Pan-Bazariyan | branch = Drakenarian | subbranch = Central Drakenarian | wordorder = SOV | type = inflecting | alignment = nominative-accusative | author = Y.

It is the standardized form of the so-called "King's Speech" which used to be the lingua franca par excellence in Bazariya. Nowadays, it is spoken mainly in Stoneland, and taught all over Bazariya as a means of cultural development. == Phonology and orthography == === Phonology === The phonology shown in the tables beneath is that of the official standard, as spoken by news anchors and other role models in society. In home environment, most people use a different accent, depending on the region they come from. Although this pronunciation is widely accepted to be the official one, some independist movements in the Western Region have proposed their own standards. <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || || || || || {{IPA|s}} || {{IPA|z}} || {{IPA|ʃ}} || {{IPA|ʒ}} || || || {{IPA|χ}} || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || {{IPA|ts}} || {{IPA|dz}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || {{IPA|w}} || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-high || || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || {{IPA|e}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|o}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || || || {{IPA|ə}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || {{IPA|ɛ}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɔ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-low || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> === Romanized orthography === Usually, Stonelandic is written in a unique, purely logographic script.

Also, I should like to pose an offer: the Tauro-Piscean Republic (my concountry), which lies on the Jutland Peninsula or the real-world provinces of German Schleswig-Holstein and Danish South Jutland, stands alone - attached to no conworld - and thus seeks allies. Based on an alternate Earth timeline, it came to be when the plebiscite held in 1920 revealed that the population of both provinces neither wanted to be part of Germany nor Denmark and preferred to be recognised as independent. The country was taken over by the current communist government and named the Tauro-Piscean Republic. Since then, the Tauro-Piscean language was enforced on the population. I would like it very much if you would consider becoming an ally. Regards, S.C. Anderson Representative of the Tauro-Piscean Republic. ''Jodende, Sectori. Ikk mäg jod an Stïkê anes Konwëröld bean.'' Hello, Sectori. I would like very much to be part of a conworld. ''Tï zï tet Konwëröld an missenliken Eëtê be «Alternate Earth» skädlik, ak ne tonan intäressantän Kïrên.'' Because the conworld is an alternate Earth, ‘Alternate Earth’ is logical, but there are more interesting possibilities. ''Ja makedê ten Namê «Terra Nuva», ottê? Te bë biénn.'' Didn’t you think up the name ‘Terra Nuva’? That would be okay. ==Conworld offer== Hello. I've spoken to you before about a conworld, but now I've got something together. It is collaborative to an extent, but once you have the land, you are free to do with it what you like as long as worldwide events don't conflict too much. My conworld has the same geography as our Earth and more-or-less the same history, but it differs in places (where you choose). Here is Europe in its current state (with only three people owning land): [[Image:Europe.png]] You say Carune is in our world 'northern Italy, a little part of southern France, and some of Switzerland (which annexed part of Austria in the first World War)'. If you accept, I will happily give you this land, but could you be more specific as to provinces, so I can get an idea where to draw the borders? The good thing about this project is that you can have as little or as much involvement as you want. I won't pressure you for your time, but it would be really interesting to get as many different people's concountries on my conworld as possible. --[[User:Pisceesumsprecan|S.C.

'''''aprire'''''.NEG):<br> La parola ''chiave'' non va al caso ergativo perché, nonostante sia in italiano il soggetto del verbo, non è il reale agente dell'azione, dato che una chiave non è in grado, in quanto oggetto, di agire da sé, ma è in realtà lo strumento con cui qualcuno apre la porta. Perciò va in caso obliquo, mentre la porta è all'assolutivo. Il soggetto viene lasciato sottinteso. In pratica la frase è una variante della frase: * ''La porta non si apre'': Tareme pumat ('''''porta'''''.ASS.DET. '''''aprire'''''.NEG)<br>quindi: Glæjcīne tareme pumat → ''la porta non si apre con la chiave''. L'utilizzo della struttura ergativa inoltre provoca delle differenze nella sintassi. In particolare si rileva una discrepanza quando si accostano nella frase due verbi, uno transitivo ed uno intransitivo: * Puidek lîpoih pæjcā me væmœih: a prima vista la frase può essere tradotta ''Il padre vide suo figlio e se ne andò'', ma in realtà non è così. Questa frase deve essere tradotta ''Il padre vide suo figlio ed il figlio se ne andò''. Infatti dato che il caso assolutivo è quello base, è l'unico che può essere omesso se la parola coinvolta concorda nelle due frasi. Nel caso di verbi di transitività diversa tuttavia l'omissione indica che il verbo non si riferisce al soggetto del verbo precedente. Per tradurre una frase come ''Il padre vide suo figlio e se ne andò'', è necessario esprimere il pronome: Puidek lîpoih pæjcā me væmœih kā. L'espressione del pronome indica che l'argomento della frase in assolutivo, non è il medesimo argomento in assolutivo della frase precedente. La forma negativa del verbo all'imperfettivo si costruisce aggiungendo '''-t''' alla forma positiva, mentre la desinenza del perfettivo diventa '''-Vyc''', seguendo le regole di formazione della forma positiva. * ''Il padre non vide suo figlio e non se ne andò'': Puidek lîpoyc pæjcā me væmœyc kā User talk:Caedes 4949 36964 2008-08-30T21:23:32Z Allan16 1240 Hi. On your Nicians Testes page, you have included what seems to be a translation of the Lord's Prayer ('Our Father') in your conlang. You might consider additionally putting this with the other translations on the designated Lord's Prayer page: [[Our Father|Lord's Prayer in various conlangs]] Hi, I've been doing some reading of your language and it seems to be a nice flowing conlang, what did you base Nician on? French, Latin etc or was it just created based on nothing but imagination?

While frequently, this system is conflated with a past (perfective) and non-past (imperfective) system, in reality, it is much more complex. While frequently these associates are made, a variety of particles can specify more specifically whether the verb is taking past, present, or future tense, and to a greater degree it's aspectual placement with in those three categories. These adverbial modifiers come in two forms: noun-based, and purely particle. The first have semantic meaning for a specific time relating to the present. For instance, áŋè, tomorrow, ì, yesterday, or íúl, a while ago, all modify the verb by giving it a specific time. On the other hand, there are pure particles, which cannot function as nouns and modify more generically. To specifically mark the imperfective as occuring in the present, such a marker, ín, is used. Likewise, èl gives the perfective a plurperfect meaning and the imperfective a distant future tense. The last commonly used one is tãk, which reinforces the perfective's implications of past tense and moreso suggested distant past, while purely suggesting that an imperfective verb denotes a past action. There are three main verb classes, but the distinctions among them are purely phonetic and not semantic. *I VERBS - These typically end in -í, -ì, or -ìà in the infinitive. In the perfective they end in -è, while in the imperfective they end in -é. *U VERBS - These typically end in -ú, -ù, or -ùà in the infinitive. In the perfective, they end in -ò. In the imperfective they end in -ó *A VERBS - These typically end in -á. For the perfective, -y. For the imperfective, -yá. To see the three irregular verbs' paradigms, see [[Irregular Verbs in Héhà]] It is worth mentioning, in tandem with its highly isolating nature, verbs never conjugate for person or number, solely for "tense". As a result, SVO constructions are vastly favored over alternatives, provided that both agent and patient roles extist for a given verb. Imperatives are formed with the reproduction of the first syllable of the verb a second time. For instance: lùà - to eat lùàlùà - Eat! zagá - to think zazagá - Think! Negative imperatives are formed by replacing the final verb marker with -y. tsígù - to bring, to give tsítsígù - Bring (it)! Give (it)! tsítsígy - Don't bring (it)! Don't give (it)! ==Syntax== As mentioned in the previous section, SVO is the foundational word order for monotransitives, but to go beyond low valency transitives such as these, a much more complex system needs to be understood. Intransitive verbs are broken into three categories: controlled, uncontrolled, contextual actions. The first uniformally places the subject prior to the verb, syntactically marking it as nominative, while the second uniformally places the subject after the verb, syntactically marking it as accusitive. The final group can use either pattern depending on whether the action was perceived as intentional and controlled or unintentional and uncontrolled. This distinction has eliminated various English pairs (such as jump off and fall off) as they are distinguished grammatically, rather than semantically. This split ergativity is completely absent in the monotransitive verbs. Instead agents are uniformally placed prior to the verb and patients placed after. There is no passive voice, except through the so-called "fourth person". Even that construction, however, is rather rare. Although ditransitive verbs also lack any sense of split ergativity, they incorporate an animacy hierarchy. Inanimates (abiotic material, and relatively non-motile biotic material such as plants) automatically follow animates or humans, while animates in turn automatically follow humans. Inanimate and animate direct objects are marked with the prefix ku- when the indirect object is human. Likewise, inanimate direct objects take the prefix tyrà- when the indirect object is animate. ==Nominal Morphology== ===Topicalization=== Similar to the verbal paradigm, topicalization of a given noun in Héhà is concatenative, that is, internally changing, rather than strictly morphological or syntactic. Nouns ending in /i a u/ in low tone have them become high. For example. Héhà mákó (Some) Héhà are jumping. Héhá mákó (Some) '''''Héhà''''' are jumping. All other nouns are much more logically morphological, adding é- to their front. Mákó kxùdó (Some) fruit(s) are falling. Mákó ékxùdó (Some) '''''fruits(s)''''' are falling. ==Lexicon== [[Héhà Lexicon]] Pre-Tir'jauta 4952 43226 2009-02-18T06:15:33Z Humancadaver101 212 Pre-Tir'jauta is the name used for all non-[[Rajo-Faraneih Languages|Rajo-Faraneit]] and non-[[Sjisia]] languages spoken in the area.

The entire phrase is known as a person's '''illos''' "name, appellation", although it would by no means be the only name by which the person is known to his acquaintances. Famous people in Areth society, e.g. writers or statesmen, tended to have, but not always did, a fourth '''ptheler''' "epithet" after their ''illos'', which could be derived from a number of sources&mdash;his place of birth; a salient physical characteristic; an object of strong association; a pseudonym/''nom-de-plume'' once used; any name of his own choosing&mdash;and this ''ptheler'' would normally be the name he was most commonly and popularly known by. Married females (see [[Family in Areth society#Marriage]]) normally adopt their husband's ''āmios'' in the genitive. ==Use of names== It was considered normal in imperial, mediaeval and even early Republican times for an Areth person (particularly adult males) to be known by no fewer than six different names. The only thing that would remain constant was his ''āmios''. Among the remainder of his ''illos'', besides his real name (''nonther''), he would be known to elders in his family by his ''apuler'', to his social elders (teachers, superiors, etc.) by his ''kailos'', to his peers and social equals by his ''sūper'', to his formal acquaintances by his ''ostemos'', and to his social inferiors and juniors by his ''dōmner''. ==Marriage and descendants== ==Popular name== The '''popular name''' was an appellation that famous [[Areth]] personages would bear, and was normally appended to the ''illos'' as a fourth element. ==Classical declension== In terms of grammar, Areth names differ significantly from names in other inflecting languages. First, many, if not most, given names exhibit an abnormally high degree of irregularity in their declensions, to the extent that most names are unrecognisable from the nominative when declined, e.g. ''Pereos'' "Pereus", when used in the genitive case, takes the form ''Fini''. Second, names do not necessarily follow standard declension patterns. Whereas in Latin names like ''Marcus'' and ''Cicerō'' corresponded closely to extant noun declensions (II and III, respectively), names in [[Classical Arithide|the classical language]] may mix and match case endings from multiple declensions. The six most common given names, three male and three female, are declined below. {| style="width: 740px; background: #efefef; border: 1pt solid #cccccc" cellspacing="0" | style="width:80px" | | style="width: 110px;

In this respect it is much more regular. In fact, the only way in which this verb is irregular is that it has (similarly to the French verb aller) combined two verbal conjugations into one. For the perfective, the form used is ''sy''. For the imperfective, ''ky''. Héhà ì sy vadó. man yesterday have_PERF basket The man had a basket yesterday Héhà ín ky vadó. man now have_IMPERF basket The man is holding a basket. ==U== U has incorporated the various pronouns, which are now required in its conjugation in the imperfective. The first person singular and first person plural/dual exclusive form of u is tu. Tu héhà. 1P_EXC héhà We/I am héhà. The first person dual inclusive form is krù. The first person plural inclusive form is kxù. Krù héhà. 1P_INC_D héhà. You (singular) and I are héhà. Kxù héhà. 1P_INC_P héhà. You (plural) and I are héhà. The second person formal conjugation is sù. The second person informal conjugation is tzù. Note that both of these forms do not denoted number. Tzù héhà. 2P_INF héhà. You (informal) are héhà. Sù héhà. 2P_FOR héhà. You (formal) are héhà. The third person inanimate singular is tus. The third person animate singular is tsus. The third person human singular is tzus. Tus tlú. 3P_INANI_S berry It's a berry. Tsus pra. 3P_ANI_S bird It's a bird. Tzus héhà. 3P_HU_S héhà. He/She is a héhà. The third person duals are tug, tsug, and tzug respectively. Tug tlú. 3P_INANI_D berry. Those two things are berries. Tsug pra. 3P_ANI_D bird Those two animals are birds. Tzug héhà. 3P_HU_D héhà Those two people are héhà. The third person plural has only one form: tù. Tù tlú. 3P_P berry They're berries. Tù pra. 3P_P bird They're birds. Tù héhà. 3P_P héhà. They're héhà. The sole perfective form is u, identical to the infinitive. U tlú. PERF berry It/They was/were (a) berry/berries. U kíkà tlú. PERF PLUR berry They were berries. U ta. PERF woman I/You/We/She/They was/were (a) woman/women. ==ÀRÌ== Àri has also incorporated pronouns, which are also now a part of its conjugation. It is notably less complex than u, however. The first person exclusive is kàrì in the imperfective, and kàré in the perfective. Ín kàrì i ta. PROG 1P_EXCL.move.IMPRF VEN woman I / I and people other than you are coming from the woman.

An acute accent is only used in few words with irregular stress on the root. Like the name of the language «Raxúl». == Nominal Morphology == Nouns can be marked for case. The nominal case system is a Ergative-Absolutive system. The absolutive case is the unmarked case. Ergative case is marked by the suffix -ti. The Ergative case is used for subjects of a transitive sentence. 1. Sentences are considered to be transitive if only an underlying direct object is present in its syntactic nominal slot. 2. The ergative case may also be used when a subject role in a sentence considered to be intransitive needs to be emphasized. {| {{whitetable2}} |- |Ergative | -ti |- |Absolutive | Ø |- | Dative | t'a(r)- |- |Ablative | |- |Comitative | es- |- |Instrumental | |} == Verbal Morphology == Verbs must always be inflected for person and aspect and they can optionally be inflected for moods other than declaritive and tense other than the present. Person is marked by prefixes, aspect by suffixes. '''Personal Prefixes''' Personal prefixes on verbs are as their name suggests prefixed to the verb root. They may be marked for case. The order of the suffixes is as follows: Nominative - Dative - Ablative - Accusative. <br> <br> '''1st Person''' <br> {| {{whitetable2}} |- ! Nominative ! ! Neutral ! Emotive !

In addition, [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]] has organisms derived from the [[Humans (Galhaf)|human]] homeworld, brought when humanity colonized the planet several tens of thousands of years ago, and both Galhaf and [[Ospendakh]] have organisms derived from [[Khanda]]. All life is divided into three ''biotas'', the Neobiota (those organisms related to humans), the Nikhandan Biota (consisting solely of bacterial-level organisms on Nikhanda) and the Paleobiota (all others). The Paleobiota originated on Galhaf. During the late [[Geological History of Galhaf#Hesperoprotomacrozoic Era|Hesperoprotomacrozoic Era]], a sentient race evolved on Galhaf, and terraformed [[Ospendakh]] and [[Khanda]]. Later, [[Ancient Ones|a sentient race]] evolved on Khanda and transported some life from Khanda onto Ospendakh and Galhaf. The Biota level was recognized only fairly recently. It had long been recognized that a small number of plants and animals had very different basic structures from other [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]an organisms, and that they appeared rather late in the fossil record. However, they had traditionally been grouped along with the native life, arbitrarily grouped with native organisms. The existence of these "neoanimals" and "neoplants" was considered a strong argument against evolutionary theory when the theory was first proposed, but eventually the [[xenogenesis theory]] became accepted. == Biotas == *[[Paleobiota]] *[[Nikhandan Biota]] *[[Neobiota]] [[Category:Biology of the Chihazh System|*]] Mesoptera 4971 45460 2009-05-17T02:18:44Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Galhafanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Paleoeukaryota}} {{ObTaxo|Kingdom|Paleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Subkingdom|Cispaleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Superphylum|Dorsopulmonia}} {{OpTaxo|(Unranked)|Asegmata}} {{ObTaxo|Phylum|Endosteia}} {{OpTaxo|Subphylum|Hexapoda}} {{OpTaxo|Superclass|Prototerrestria}} {{ObTaxo|Class|Thermovaria}} {{ObTaxo|Legion|Megovaria}} {{OpTaxo|Superoder|Geminaria}} {{ObTaxo|Order|Mesoptera}} |} '''Mesoptera''' is an order of [[thermovaria]].

They are the the most intelligent organisms native to [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]], with an intelligence comparable to humans. == Life cycle of Pteranthropus == Pteranthropan larvae develop with no parental investment, save for an initial investment - by both parents - of nutrients, and the long-term investment in producing sheltered environments. The haploid stage is reduced to only a few large nutrient-bearing nurse cells, in both sexes. They exist as larvae for 5 or 6 Galhafan years (c. 3½ or 4¼ Earth years). During this time, they have simple nervous systems and are largely driven by instincts, seeking food and avoiding danger, growing rapidly. After their larval stage is over, they emerge onto land, metamorphosing into terrestrial animals, and undergoing a rapid increase in brain size. They instinctively seek out close relatives, especially their parents, using pheromones to identify them. They emerge from water in the spring, at around the same time as the mating season. They integrate into the tribe, and, during this period, most of the development is in their brains. They reach near-adult size during the larval period. It generally takes around 30 Galhafan years (20 Earth years) for their brains to mature. At this point, their external appearance changes moderately, as they enter the pre-sexual adult phase. Sexual maturity has become disconnected with physical maturity. Pre-sexual adults often help their parents raise their siblings. After, on average, 27 years (19 Earth years), they finally reach sexual maturity. Both sexes develop external secondary sexual characteristics (in pre-sexual adults, the distinction between the sexes is small, although pteranthropans can usually identify sex correctly). They are generally around 60 years (c. 40 Earth years) of age before they begin mating. Their total life span is quite long, however. It is common to pass the century mark, especially in modern times. Senility generally sets in around 225 (160 Earth years) or so. 300 (210 Earth years) is an unusual age to reach, but not unheard of. The oldest known Pteranthropan was 318 at death (226 Earth years) == Diet == ''Pteranthropus'' mostly eat fruits and insects. They consume small amounts of meat as well. During the egg-laying season, and in the larval stages, they consume shellfish, fish, and seaweed. == Threats == ''Pteranthropus'' have a few natural predators, but can generally protect themselves. == Behavior == ''Pteranthropus'' are gregorious species, banding together to utilize food sources and defend themselves against predation. They have little hostility towards other tribes, and will freely accept strangers. There is some sexual dimorphism, and mating is polygamous. Loose ties are formed between individuals who have mated, and they cooperate in raising the young. They are highly intelligent and have had agriculture for over a million years. Prior to the arrival of humans, however, they lacked metal use or permanent settlements. == History == The ''Pteranthropus'' genus dates back some 10-15 million Earth years. Their closest relatives are the ''[[Hydropithecus]]'' genus. == Subspecies == *P. s. kalpanensis *P. s. krayae *P. s. borealis *P. s. australis [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] [[Category:Sentients of the Chihazh System]] Hydropithecus 4973 45463 2009-05-17T02:48:45Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Galhafanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Paleoeukaryota}} {{ObTaxo|Kingdom|Paleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Subkingdom|Cispaleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Superphylum|Dorsopulmonia}} {{OpTaxo|(Unranked)|Asegmata}} {{ObTaxo|Phylum|Endosteia}} {{OpTaxo|Subphylum|Hexapoda}} {{OpTaxo|Superclass|Prototerrestria}} {{ObTaxo|Class|Thermovaria}} {{ObTaxo|Legion|Megovaria}} {{OpTaxo|Superoder|Geminaria}} {{ObTaxo|Order|Mesoptera}} {{ObTaxo|Suborder|Megaencephalia}} {{ObTaxo|Family|Pteranthropidae}} {{ObTaxo|Genus|Hydropithecus}} |} '''Hydropithecus''' (''gyabì'') is a genus of [[mesoptera]], related to ''[[Pteranthropus]]''.

''Hydropithecus'' does not appear to have any language skills or tool use.

It is spoken in the kingdom called Teleran, north of Westmarche and a way to the northwest of Auntimoany. Its sister language, Yllurian, is spoken in the neighbouring country of Yllera. Some thousands of years ago, according to ancient histories, the sea around which the proto Aryans, the Punt, lived experienced some devastating cataclysm, generally accepted to be an earthquake and subsequent flood. The destruction of this land precipitated a mass exodus in all directions and gave rise to several great language families in both East and West: the Aryan and the Semitic. The ancestors of the Talarians wandered for a time in the east amongst the ancestors of the Persians and Indians. They were much influenced by these peoples and acquired not a few cultural, religious and linguistic borrowings. The ancestral Talarians continued into the East, at last arriving in the vicinity of several moribund Archaic Empires. They settled in the lands of the old Yllemese kingdom, and in later years moved across the Severn River into Teleran proper. '''Texts''' in Talarian.

Most philosophers agree that the universe is heliocentric, that is, the Sun resides at the center of the universe and presides over a court of various small orbiting bodies: the planets, the comets and the fixed stars. This of course is not the case, as the World exists within a fairly mundane universe of galaxies, black holes, quasars, star systems, gas clouds, dark matter and other exciting astronomical bits and pieces. The main difference between *that* universe and ours is the existence of magic as a natural force. '''The World''' -- Some philosophers aver that the world is a roundish disc rotating upon the backs of four oliphants that in turn stand upon the back of a gargantuan tortoise which swims through the vastness of space. In this cosmology, the Sun, planets and moons are reduced to very small orbiting rocks. Most aver that the Earth is a round planet that orbits the Sun along with a number of other planets and moons. The circumference of the Earth has been measured as have the distance between Earth and Sun and Earth and its moons (none of the measurements are precise, but the scales are proportionate). Surrounding the planet, and presumably including the Sun and other planets, is the realm known as <i>Overheaven</i>. It is not always clear whether this realm is truly the mundane regions of space or is the spiritual realms that surround and imbue the universe. The surface of the Earth, the <i>Middle World</i> is where most of the known inhabitants of the World live and where they go about their daily lives (except for miners and adventurers). But the surface world is but a part of the whole picture. There are realms known collectively as the <i>Underworld</i>, and by this we mean not just the sewers and underdelvings of the old city of Hoopelle. Many are the ancient dungeons and delvings of various dark powers, but there are also natural realms under the surface of the Earth inhabited mostly by beasts, but sometimes by peoples unknown to those on the surface except in folklore (particularly Gnomes and Dwarves). There are also tales of vast underworld chasms where whole communities of peoples live; some are said to be like the Daine, others like Men. No Middle World organisation has undertaken the daunting task of fully exploring and mapping the Underworld. It is certainly too large, too diverse and too inaccessible. There is a philosophic speculation that the center of the Earth is hollow and that the core is a small body that generates heat and light for the hollow Underworld and also drives the thaumic field of the planet. While at present this is only to be taken as speculation, it would not be inconsistent with the structure of a magical world. The Reshaping of the World was one of the most spectacular geological events in the planet's history, probably since the Creation. The Reshaping of the World was a catastrophic event that happened some hundreds of thousands of years ago when the Dark Power was defeated. Upon his demise, the beings that inhabit the very foundations of the world were agitated and their movements caused upheavals of seismic and volcanic natures in the regions of the world particularly inhabited by the Dark Power. At that time, the Dark Power inhabited the bitter East, having raised up in the eastern Ocean a great land for his minions and servants. As a result of the upheavals, those lands sunk under the waves, causing massive tsunammis, and the whole globe of the Earth turned about 67 degress to one side so that, from the perspective of those living nearest the Dark Power's domains, the lands that once were in the eastward were ever after in the northward. Those lands, however, remained quite bitter. The Teor record in their histories that the world turns in this way about once in every two star ages. So, it might be a coincidence that the planet turned at this time. Of course, it is also possible that the motions of the subterranean beings upset some delicate balance that simply initiated an event that was immanent anyway. Deepest of all the Underworld's realms are the very Foundations of the World itself. No dweller of the Upper World has ever gone so far into the belly of the Earth, for the heats of the <i>Ankanic Fires</i> burn all flesh, and it is said that the airs of the depths of Underworld are crushing and deadly. There, it is said, dwell -- <i>beings</i> -- of immense size and ponderous motion that uphold the basments of the upper earth. It is said their slow motions cause the lands themselves to change place, as if playing out some great and mysterious ballet. Their agitations, it is said, are the cause of volcanic eruptions (the Ankanic fire) and earth tremors of all magnitudes. These beings dwarf even the mightiest of the World's ancient mountains, Amath, Gahalt and Zahair. ---- '''Inside the Multiverse''' -- The Multiverse is the place where everything happens. It all comes down to having enough dimensions for it all to happen in. It contains Existence and allows Being and Reality to have their day in the sun. The portion of the Multiverse where the World has its day in the sun is a not-so-tidy corner of some half-wild universe where lots of odd things happen that don't normally happen in the more orderly universes. Here, then, is a good place for fantastic stories and mythical peoples to live and breathe and share in the experience of Being. Thus the reason for the World itself. '''Outside the Multiverse''' -- Outside the confines of reality lies what is thought to be the great void of Potentiality. It is from this potential -- not matter (chaotic or organised), not energy, in fact it is nothing we have experience of -- that the earliest universes sprang, and from that raw material that further universes were created. If the Creator were a small child in a nursery, this Potential would be her box of building blocks. The how and by whom those first universes came to Be is unknown, and probably unknowable, as their first beginnings and ultimate ends are now lost in the mists of unhistory. Though it is uncertain how universes come into being within the Potential, some posit a sort of fountain from which they emanate, accreting Potential as they evolve and progress along their journey towards the eschaton. Others posit that Creators cause universes to come into existence through a process known to the denizens of those universes only as the Creation. The most orderly universes are safely walled off from the Void, and thus from their ultimate source of Potential. Their outer limits are protected by layers of vacuophobic fascias which act as a sort of protective layer of barnacles around a universe -- the Things that desire to consume realities can never come close. It might be possible to travel between universes, but not outside them (unless you possess a diacosmic vehicle, in which case Gog's your paternal relative of choice). Other universes, particularly those where magic operates, have difficulty being completely sealed. Magic tends to bend, distort and at times shred the fabric of Reality. Thus, rays and bands of Reality and Being may escape from these universes into the Void, coalescing into small hot protocosms. There are said to be Things out there, known to the Wise as acosmic entities for they are not beings in any known sense of he word and can not exist within a proper cosmos. It would seem that the energy of existence and the protocosms are irritating to them, for most of them desire nothing more than to consume and utterly destroy the small drops of Being that float in their sea of potentiality. Others like to crack open universes and suck out their vitality and then lay their eggs inside. How, then, is a universe to defend itself? Those that are properly sealed are scarcely detectable. Otherwise, the Watchers, or Guardians that inhabit the outer limits of reality and existence battle such Things as dare to come too close, reducing them from predators of unfathomable quality to insignificance. The natures of these Watchers is unknown, though it is possible that they are Angels or gods of some sort. ---- Two fairly well described langauges of the World are [[Talarian]] and [[Yllurian]] Many races are known in the world, including Men, but of them all, the [[Daine]] are the most comprehensively described. ---- By no means comprehensive or even complete, The World has a website describing some of its inner workings ''[http://the-world.bethisad.com/ here]''. ---- [[Category:The World|*]] [[Category:Conworlds|World]] [[Category:Planets|World]] 'Yemls 4986 30813 2008-04-22T07:15:03Z Qiihoskeh 1192 Although the language has been known for a few years (at least to some degree), there's no culture firmly associated with it yet. == Grammar == === Syntax === 'Yemls uses SVO order with modifiers following heads. Up to 2 objects can appear. There is neither inflectional nor adpositional case marking. There are no prepositional phrases; something like adverbial clauses are used instead. A definite article is used. The role of an argument depends on its position and on the voice-marking and argument structure of its head. The voice-marking is unusual in that it only rearranges the mapping of roles to positions; it doesn't delete arguments (and for some words, it can add an argument). Generally speaking, a content word's syntactical use is independent of its lexical class, the latter affecting only its morphology. Mandatory possessors appear as objects while optional possessors appear as adjectival modifiers. === Morphology === 'Yemls is agglutinative, marking aspect, mood and tense, temporal point of reference, and voice. Each of these has a 0-marked possibility, so that the average number of morphemes per word is low. Otherwise, suffixing is used for these except that voice and certain aspectuals use prefixes. Except for haplology and vowel doubling indications, the usual written form of a morpheme rarely changes. Some pronouns have enclitic forms which can be used in certain circumstances. There's no plural marking, although there are collective and distributive prefixes. There's a distinct inclusive personal pronoun. === Orthography and Phonology === 'Yemls is written using a 52 character syllabary, the glyphs of which resemble alphabetic characters. Symbols resembling apostrophes, colons, and hyphens are also used, as are spaces, punctuation, and a few logographic symbols. The syllabary has 4 vowel columns and 12 consonant rows, representing 48 historical CV syllables, and an additional row, representing historical V syllables. The relationship between the written form and pronunciation is complicated but regular. It involves column-dependent consonant shifts, coalescence of diphthongs and long vowels, high vowel deletion, and a few other details. Thus, the possible syllable types in the spoken language are (C)V, (C)VC, (C)VV, and (C)(A)V:, where A can be [j] or [w]. [[Category:A priori conlangs]] Seuna sentence structure 4987 49960 2009-10-29T13:12:28Z Staigard 752 /* the noun phrase */ == The basic sentence structure == The basic sentence structure is SVO. In the basic sentence, the subject is assumed to be definite and the object is assumed to be indefinite. To show a subject is indefinite, the subject is put after the verb, so we have VSO. To show an object is definite, the role.tag '''-s''' is added. This can be called the accusative case, but remember it only appears when the object is definite. Outside of the nominative and accusative cases, every case is assumed to be definite untless it has the particle '''sa''' in front of it. I guess that this must be called an indefinite article. So Seuna is a language with an indefinite article but no definite article. Turkish is an example of a natural language with an indefinite article but no definite article. == the noun phrase == The basic noun phrase is NUMBER NOUN ADJECTIVE DETERMINER POSSESSOR (RELATIVE CLAUSE) Nouns end.stick '''-n''' to show plurality. This end.tag is also extended to the adjective and the determiner. '''kloga hai di''' = this red shoe. '''@iga klogai hai din nan ta ...''' = these two red shoes of hers that ... By the way '''di''', '''din''' and '''hain''' can be used as nouns ( '''hain''' = the red ones). '''hai''' can not be used in this way, but the phrase '''ta hai''' can be. ?? Should any three shoes = '''ada san klogan''' or '''san ada klogan''' ?? What does the guy in that book say about the overlap between "any2 and "some". ?? == the verb phrase == The basic verb phrase is VERB ADJECTIVE. '''donoro saco''' = he walks quickly If the adjective is moved to any other position other than immediately after the verb, the adjective must take the front.tag '''wi-'''. '''wisaco donoro''' = quickly he walks Adverbs are not regarded as a word class by SEUNIA linguists. == the 2 protagonist sentences == The relative word order of the two central nouns is fixed. The "doer" always precedes the "undergoer". Or put in another way the nominative case always precedes the accusative case. == the 3 protagonist sentence == Some sentences can be said to have three central nouns. These sentences usually have the verb '''give''' or a verb semantically close to '''give''' (i.e. award, present etc.). In Seuna the following construction is possible (exactly as it is in English). Typically with the receiver being human and the thing given being inanimate. '''lari jene kludas''' = I gave Janet the book == the "yo" role.tag == However if the receiver is given the "yo" (dative) end.tag they are free to appear anywhere in the sentence. '''jeneyo lari kludas ''' = I gave the book to Janet '''lari jeneyo kludas''' = I gave the book to Janet '''lari kludas jeneyo''' = I gave the book to Janet A second major use of this tag is to indicate the end point of some motion. For example ;- ?? A third major ......... It is cold to me == role.tags == '''-yo''' is an example of a role.tag. There are nine role.tags in Seuna. Actually seven of them fit this name very well. Two : '''-s''' and '''-ge''', less so. '''-s''' even though it only occurs in the accusative case is more a definiteness indicator. '''-ge''' turns a noun into something that is very nearly an adjective. Not quite an adjective (because, for one thing it doesn't take the '''-n''' end.tag for plurality in the noun phrase) but very close to an adjective. The seven role.tags ('''-wa''','''-yo''','''-le''','''-u''','''-ho''','''-ji''' and '''-fi''') give the the words that they are attached to great mobility with in a sentence. == the "le" role.tag == This tag is used when making comparisons. For example ;- '''aro jutus yule''' = I am bigger than you. A second major use of this tag is to indicate the start point of some motion. For example ;- ?? == Participant tracking in dialogue == some ......... some other ..........

Tolerosian is an Indo-European of a distinct family. Due to certain variables between the eastern and western dialects, even the origin of the name Tolerot is obscure. it may come from ''tola'', "one" due to it being the only island in the area or ''tūllot'', "sun" perhaps due to its location in the eastern Mediterranean. ==Alphabet== A few different scripts were used to write Tolerosan, most notably a modified Greek alphabet. It also appears that later Tolerosan was written in the Greek alphabet itself. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" |colspan="4"|<center>'''Alphabet ''Elfavedda'' ''Ελφαϝεδδα''' |- |Tolerosan||English||Tolerosan||English|| |- |Α α||A||Ν ν||N |- |Β β||B||Ξ ξ||Q (gh) |- |Γ γ||G||Ο ο||O, U |- |Δ δ||D||Π π||P |- |Ε ε||E||Ϟ ϟ||Ā |- |Ϝ ϝ||V||Ρ ρ||R |- |Ζ ζ||z||Σ σ ς||S |- |Η η||Ē||Τ τ||T |- |Θ θ||T||Υ υ||Ī |- |Ι ι||I||Φ φ||F |- |Κ κ||K||Χ χ||X (kh) |- |Λ λ||L||Ω ω||Ō, Ū |- |Μ μ||M |} In most dialects O and U or Ō and Ū were considered variations of the same phoneme, and were spelt the same.

Desertic is derived from vulgar [[Senaslavish]] and acquires most of its grammar and diction from Senaslavish. Desertic, like Senaslavish, was designed as a artistic and liturgical language for [[Aseretism]], a non-fictional philosophy. == History and geographic information == The creation of Desertic is attributed to the lone wanderer in the story [["The Way of the Angels"]] (Desertic: ''Giner Aser Anetas''). In the sixth part of the story, the wanderer meets an aseretean [[perceptual angel]], or nymph, named Heomýrete (Senaslavish for "the singing one"), who tells him to remember a prayer. Heomýrete gives him the prayer in Senaslavish, however the wanderer cannot speak in that language, and instead utters the prayer in a new language, Desertic. Though a story, the first recorded literature in Desertic is the prayer given by Heomýrete, "For the Subtle One" (Desertic: ''O Aserete''), and is thus viewed as the figurative birth of the language. The [[Hunetic Desert]] or simply ''[[Unenes]]'' does not refer to a specific desert, however to higher elevation deserts. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_Desert Mojave Desert], however, is the only desert of this type to be plainly referred to as ''Unenes'' (Desert). Though no specific desert is given in the story, [["The Way of the Angels"]] it is thought to take place either in the Mojave Desert or one inspired by it. Many names exist for unique and very specific plants and animals, many of which are only found in the Mojave. One of these is a name for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arroyo_toad Arroyo toad] (''ereman''), a species only found western parts of the California Mojave. Some other words exist for weather patterns and seasonal changes that are close to those in Mojave Desert. == Classification and related languages == Desertic is a member of the [[Hunenestic]] sub-branch of the [[Senaslavic]] branch in the [[Aseretean-Hunetazian]] family of languages, which has a lineage that claims to originate from the language of [[Aserete]] and its [[perceptual angels]]. Desertic is related most closely to the [[Highland Senaslavish]], a language that developed under the influence of Liturgical Senaslavish and Desertic, but is spoken in the mountains. == Grammer == Desertic is a [[rather isolating]] language, and contains some inflection. === Syntax === Desertic preserves the basic, verb-object-subject or VOS syntax of the liturgical syntax (Senaslavish: ''revimiiáehpmiiyráviitákét'') from Senaslavish. Complex syntax also, for the most part, follows this pattern, though some clear changes are present. In a comparative nominative sentence, the subjects surround the verb in a subject-verb-subject pattern, whereas Liturgical Senaslavish remains firmly in the VOS positioning. === Verbs === Native and most foreign verbs in Desertic follow a very regular pattern in their infinitive forms. Verbs are most readily identified by the infinitive suffix '''-ma'''. Verbs are conjugated into persons and numbers and mood is added by inserting isolated mood words after the conjugated verb. These elements form a verb clause, which contains the total meaning of any given verb. Verb conjugation into the persons, singular and plural, is the only significantly inflected part of Desertic grammar. There is only one standard verb conjugation, though there are dialectic variations with added conjugations, moods, and tenses. Verbs are conjugated into the following forms: * three persons: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd * three 3rd person genders: masculine, feminine, and neutral * two numbers: singular and plural Though the three 3rd person genders may be conjugated in a plural number, it is not often done and seen as archaic. Conjugation into any of the persons and numbers requires the infinitive ending, '''-ma''', to be dropped and the appropriate suffix to be added to the verb stem. The endings for the various persons and numbers are detailed in the following table (note that the common use 3rd person plural is in bold): {| valign="top" id="toc" ! singular !! plural |- ! 1st | -ta || -te |- ! 2nd | -la || -le |- ! 3rd | -ri <br> -li <br> -sa || -re <br> -le <br> '''-se''' |} '''An Example''' ''kema'' (to have) {| valign="top" id="toc" ! ''kema'' !! singular !! plural |- ! 1st | keta || kete |- ! 2nd | kela || kele |- ! 3rd | keri <br> keli <br> kesa || kere <br> kele <br> '''kese''' |} Tenses and moods are assigned to verbs by the inclusion of a verb particle into the verb clause. Verb particles exist for: * two tenses: past (''i'') and future (''oa'') * three moods: imperative (''et''), interrogative (''ye''), and negative (''rey'') : seven interrogatives: who (''iyez''), what (''ayel''), where (''iyer''), why (''yeve''), which (''ayal''), how (''ep''), and when (''iyef'') [[Category:Desertic]] [[Category:Senaslavic]] [[Category:Aseretean-Hunenestic]] [[Category:A priori conlangs]] [[Category:Conlangs]] Conlang Relay 15/Dal'qörian 4996 30679 2008-04-14T12:13:34Z PeteBleackley 179 New page: ==Contact details== A32@B.C.D ;A:dwhmusic ;B:yahoo ;C:co ;D:uk ==Contact details== A32@B.C.D ;A:dwhmusic ;B:yahoo ;C:co ;D:uk Dal'qörian negatives 4997 47100 2009-07-07T12:42:43Z Rivendale 279 [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] In Dalcurian, there are two ways in which ''not'' is rendered. =='''Negation of verbs'''== With verbs, ''not'' is rendered by the suffix '''ax/x'''. If the verb is already inflected with the future or conditional tense suffix, or is in the infinitive or past tense form, '''ax''' is added. '''x''' is added to the present participle. This is the only use '''x''' has in Dalcurian, therefore it is easy to recognize when a verb is in a negative state: * '''qöhacria'''-''approaching'' '''qöhacriax'''-''not approaching'' * '''gä’vaÞr'''-''ran'' '''gä'vaÞrax'''-not ran'' (didn't run) * '''quascrquas'''-''would ask'' '''quascrquasax'''-''would not ask * '''göræ'''-''will go'' '''göræax'''-''will not go'' ===='''With auxilliary and modal verbs'''==== Modal verbs and the auxiliaries '''ábra/ádra''' and '''néba''', do NOT take the negative inflection when being used with a main verb; the main verb carries the inflection. They can however, be used as a main verb, as in English (although this is colloquial), and must then take the inflection: * '''Diö már, am dérÞ, sécösatrax'''. ''You can’t smoke in here''. lit: ''You may, in here, smoke not''. * '''Binä Þöldr sécösatrax qoÞ'''. ''I shouldn’t be smoking anyway''. * '''Sia voltirax tiÞ'''. ''She doesn’t want it.'' lit: ''She wants not it''. * '''Binä ábrax eÞöa nömæaj'''. ''I don’t have any money.'' (Again, this is proper usage. Colloquially a Dalcurian would say: '''Binä öna nömæaj'''-''I'm without money''). =='''Negation of adjectives'''== The standard negation of adjectives is rendered with the prefix '''stæ''' which most commonly equates to the following English prefixes (which normally denote the opposite of) but can carry the meaning of ''not'': * un: '''stædembrödn'''-''unashamed'' (not ashamed) * dis: '''stævehiqualosträdn'''-''disassociated'' (not associated) * anti: '''stæasötséal'''-''antisocial'' (which carries the meaning of not sociable) and some words that end in ''less'': * '''stævösérädn'''-''useless'' (not useful) Here, the prefix is a part of the word as a whole. But with non-prefixed adjectives, '''stæ''' is separated with an apostrophe: * '''vélø'''-''cold'' '''stæ'vélø'''-''not cold'' Lit: ''uncold'' NOTE: It's not possible in Dalcurian to say literally: ''He is not antisocial, you are not useless'' etc; in other words, to disagree with an already negated adjective. In these instances, the preposition '''néfaracte'''-which literally means ''on the contrary'' is tagged at the end of the positive sentence: * '''Mæ stæasötséal néfaracte!''' ''He is NOT anitsocial''! For more on negation of comparative sentences, see [[dal'qörian adjectives|Comparative sentences]] Finally, there is an unwritten rule for foreign speakers: if you're not sure how to negate your sentence, simply put an '''x/ax''' on the end of the adjective. Grammatically this is incorrect, but you will be understood! User:Navidel/Batraći baćanen 4998 30713 2008-04-16T01:00:40Z Navidel 620 /* Lexicon */ =Batraći baćanen= A few weeks ago I decided to create a language, which has become the one of the most well-developed of all of my languages, with hundreds of words. But I couldn't create a page because I didn't have a name for the language, so it is temporarily placed here under the title '''batraći baćanen''', which means "the drunken frog." Weird, huh? ==Pronouns== The language has a fairly simple system of pronouns (some of the ones I didn't totally make up are Germanic in origin.) The first person singular is nominative ić, accusative/dative ića, cf. German ich; while the plural is nuć/nuća, which is of no exact origin, but starts, like in Latin (and hence most Romance languages) with the letter n. Second person singular sa/sas ultimately derives from Old English, but the original þ has been obscured. The second person plural o'i/o'is is entirely of my own invention, however, as are third person singular 'jes/'jesa and plural ne'a/ne'as. Possession is indicated by the suffix -o. ==Lexicon== The lexicon is much too long for me to spell out here at the moment, but most of it is Greek-derived. I will therefore tell you about some of the non-Greek words, of which there are far fewer. You would do well at this point to note that ć is pronounced /ʃ/ (as is plain c [otherwise /k/] before a front vowel), ' as /h/ (c' as /k/) and the rather ambiguous j as /j/ (word-finally /ʝ/). Stress is on the ultimate syllable except when the last syllable ends in a vowel, in which case it is on the penultimate; or where indicated otherwise by an acute accent. 'ja - god domast - great cora'o - to invade or conquer ćati - water ćan - sky do'a - color 'jebo - to marry 'jebocsa - marriage cata'o - to greet simbat - also adu'ić - a notice ama'í - hail! buć - boat ća'ijo - to say će'i - this će'a - that do'umo - to dock ascaja - building pac'e'o - to seize cict - silent ćlagec - meat ćo'u - to smoke ćubel - head tju'i - door sera'u - to look groce'u - to understand pe'i - person 'ilin - bird namo - mammal 'jisc - fish na'u - reptile ćjoc - military 'arino - to speak 'arin - an utterance ==Grammar== Some basic points: *There is no indefinate article. *The definate article is a suffix, -i (or -'i after a vowel, -ji after an apostrophe-vowel group). *The particle ''o'' is roughly equivalent to "of", but the possessor always comes before it. *Adjectives in the predicate that describe the subject end in -pt, -st, or -l as listed, while adjectives that come directly after the nouns they describe (it is a head-first language) change -pt to -m and -st to -n. -l adjectives stay the same (eg: ''Agalma'i eji adamapt'' ("The statue is [of] iron") vs. ''Agalma'i adamam'' ("The iron statue"). Note this could also be expressed as ''Agalma'i o adamacsa'' ("The statue of iron-ness").)

That would however mean having to relocate the EMSB relativs of Dork Elvish, maybe to eastern Anatolia. Or am I overdoing the separation? If Tsonboran dies around -4ka at latest, there ought to be plenty of room for this in Persia, too. Also, this is around -2.5ka while Dork Elvish is -1.5ka.

Q, V, and Z are limited to foreign names, although some writers use Z or TZ for TS. Although diacritics aren't normally used, a system of marking vowels with acute, grave, and circumflex accents exists as an aid to reading a text aloud. The circumflex and acute are also used in dictionaries to indicate otherwise unpredictable stress. There's a much less commonly used orthography that has Ĉ for C, C or TC for TS, Ĵ for J, J for Y, and Ŝ for X. There's a one-to-one correspondence between letters and phonemes, except that TS is used for both /ts)/ and /t:s)/ and that vowel length isn't marked. === Phonemes === The orthographic symbols are shown in UPPER CASE, followed by the /phonemes/. The phoneme symbols chosen are those of the principal allophones. Additional allophones are in [brackets]. <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labioden. ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| PostAlveolar ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar || Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || P /{{IPA|p}}/ || B /{{IPA|b}}/ || || || T /{{IPA|t}}/ || D /{{IPA|d}}/ || || || || || K /{{IPA|k}}/ || G /{{IPA|g}}/ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || TS /{{IPA|ts}}/ || || C /{{IPA|tʃ}}/ || J /{{IPA|dʒ}}/ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || F /{{IPA|f}}/ || [{{IPA|v}}] || S /{{IPA|s}}/ || [{{IPA|z}}] || X /{{IPA|ʃ}}/ || [{{IPA|ʒ}}] || || || || || H /{{IPA|h}}/ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || M /{{IPA|m}}/ || || || || N /{{IPA|n}}/ || || || || || || [{{IPA|ŋ}}] |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || R /{{IPA|r}}/ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approx. || || || || || || L /{{IPA|l}}/ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || W /{{IPA|w}}/ || || || || || || || || Y /{{IPA|j}}/ |} </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | || Front || || || Central || || || Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || I /{{IPA|i}}/ || || || || || || U /{{IPA|u}}/ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || E /{{IPA|e}}/ || || || || O /{{IPA|o}}/ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || [{{IPA|ɛ}}] || || [{{IPA|ɔ}}] |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || A /{{IPA|a}}/ |} </div> === Accent === The accent is one of stress, which is determined according to syllable weight. For words of at least three syllables the following rules hold: *the ultima is stressed if extraheavy; otherwise *the penult is stressed if heavy or extraheavy; otherwise *the antepenult is stressed. For words of two syllables: *the ultima is stressed if extraheavy; otherwise *the penult is stressed. Some one syllable words are unstressed. *An extraheavy syllable ends in either two consonants, or a single consonant preceded by a diphthong or long vowel. *A heavy syllable ends in either a single consonant or a diphthong or long vowel. *A light syllable ends in a short vowel. === Phonotactics === Onset and coda clusters are each limited to certain two consonant combinations. == Vocabulary == While there are a number of words borrowed from, or via, known European languages, the bulk of the lexicon is of unknown origin. == Morphosyntax == Notable features include the Fluid-S alignment and the voice-case agreement system. === Basic Morphology === Naisek is agglutinative with some inflectional fusion. There are a few prefixes; otherwise inflection uses suffixing. Derivational processes involve suffixing and compounding, sometimes together. In compounds, the modifier precedes the head. Some derivations are completely regular and productive, while others are lexicalized. === Noun Phrases === The order of phrase components is: :Determiner-Quantifier-Noun-Adjective(s)-Relative Clause. The determiners include the demonstratives and the definite, indefinite (not common), and negative determiners. The quantifiers include cardinal and fractional numbers as well as more general quantifiers. Nouns have implicit gender (animate or inanimate) and are inflected for number (singular or plural) and case. There's no correlation between declension (vowel stems vs. consonant stems) and gender. Adjectives, determiners, and certain pronouns (3rd person and relative) are inflected for gender as well, agreeing with the noun. Other pronouns are inflected for either number and case (1st and 2nd person), gender and case (interrogative), or just case (indefinite). "One" is inflected for both gender and case; other cardinal numbers are inflected only for case. The cases are: Agentive(=Ergative=Nominative), Patientive(=Absolutive=Accusative), Dative, Genitive, Partitive, Instrumental, and Temporal. Adjectives also have forms used as adverbs and secondary predicates. Agentive and Dative are rare with inanimates, Partitive is rare with singular count nouns, and Temporal is mostly limited to time words. Prepositions are mostly followed by Genitive objects. === Verbs and Clauses === The order of components in a clause is mostly determined by pragmatics. Contrastive focus is indicated using particles. Both finite and non-finite verbs are inflected for grammatical voice, using prefixes when marked. In addition, finite verbs are inflected for mood and tense and for the person, number, and case of the verb's subject while non-finite verbs are inflected for aspect. The moods are indicative, imperative, subjunctive, and contrafactual. The tenses, distinct only for the indicative, are past, present, and future. Constructions using the copula followed by a non-finite verb are used for the progressive, retrospective(=perfect), prospective, and habitual aspects. The verbal noun is used for the last and participles are used for the others. The progressive isn't used for purely stative verbs, since their simple forms are all imperfective. Only purely dynamic verbs have simple imperative forms (which include performative, hortative, and jussive forms as well as true imperatives). Mixed verbs have simple present imperfectives like stative verbs, but are otherwise like dynamic verbs. The verbal noun may also be used, with case marking, as a noun and the participles as fully inflected adjectives. The prospective participle is also used with no further inflection as the infinitive in constructions involving auxiliary verbs. === Voice-Case Agreement === The ending of a finite verb agrees with the case of the clause's subject, which is selected from the possible arguments according to the Agentive > Dative > Patientive hierarchy. Which of these are possible depends on the verb's class as well as its grammatical voice marking. Notably, an argument retains its case when it becomes the subject. == More Information == For more information, see the grammar at http://qiihoskeh.googlepages.com/Ntoc.htm [[Category:A priori conlangs]] Vallés 5007 46374 2009-06-23T13:01:44Z Tropylium 756 /* Vocabulary */ category cleanup Vallés, also known as Granvallés, is spoken on an alternate-history Earth and derives from Vulgar Latin, somewhere in the southwestern portion of Europe. The precise location of the speaker community and the details of that world's history (at least for the last two millennia) are still largely unknown. The language is relatively conservative, compared to the romance languages in Our Time Line and probably to the others in the Vallés time line as well. This may be due to a stronger Latin influence. It resembles Iberian Romance in some respects and Italian in others and also Gallo-Romance. == Orthography and Phonology == Vallés is written using the basic latin alphabet plus the letter Æ (for which AE may be substituted). The letters K, W, and Y are used only when writing foreign names. There are four diacritical marks used: grave, acute, circumflex, and breve. Except for the breve, these are used prosodically. For a romance language, Vallés has more than the normal number of sounds. There may be as many as thirty-one consonant phonemes (not counting approximants) and fifteen vowel phonemes (not counting length); the phoneme status of a few of these is questionable. Five of the vowels are nasal. Accentuation includes pitch as well as stress. A stressed syllable has either a high tone (this can't occur in the ultima) or a high-to-low tone (this can't occur in the antepenult). Any following syllables have low tone, and any preceding syllables have a low or medium tone. Intonation may be modified in questions. The orthography is not very phonemic. In addition to the use of digraphs, there are phonemes written more than one way and letters used for more than one phoneme. This, of course, is typical of romance languages. == Morphosyntax == The word order is typical of romance languages. === Declension === Case isn't distinguished, except in some of the pronouns. The major declensional categories are gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural), with noun modifiers agreeing. Certain pronominals have "abstract" forms and interrogative pronouns distinguish human, non-human, and situational rather than masculine and feminine. There are definite articles (which contract with several of the prepositions), indefinite articles (in the singular), and partitive articles. The first three numbers decline for gender, with the masculine and feminine forms of "three" being identical. Plurals are mainly formed by adding -S or -ES. There are a few oddities, such as vowel lowering before R in final syllables. One peculiarity is that dictionaries prefer to cite the feminine singular of adjectives rather than the masculine; this is because those that end in -A drop that to form the masculine singular (mostly) while those that don't have the same form for both. Only a few words have synthetic comparatives and superlatives, with the adverbs PLUS "more" and MENS "less" used otherwise. There's a suffix -ISSEM called superlative, but it has only an "absolute" use. Adjectives can be made into adverbs by putting MENT after them (as a separate word). === Conjugation === Verbs have four major conjugations. A lot of verbs are irregular, mainly in stem formation. Finite verbs have inflection for the following combinations of aspect, mood, and tense: present indicative, imperfect indicative, future indicative, preterite indicative, present subjunctive, past subjunctive, conditional, and imperative. All of these further inflect for person and number, except that the imperative has only 2nd person forms. The non-finite verb forms are the infinitive, gerund, supine, present participle, and perfect participle; the last two are adjectives and the perfect participle has the same stem as the supine, while the supine and gerund are indeclinable forms used in constructing compound verbs. The infinitive is also indeclinable. Passives are periphrastic. Unstressed object pronouns are clitics following non-finite verbs and imperatives, but preceding other finite verbs. == Vocabulary == Most of the vocabulary comes from Latin, either inherited directly from Vulgar Latin, or borrowed later on from Classical Latin. The most peculiar thing about this is that the scholars who introduce the latter kind into the language attempt to modify them according to the changes that would have happened had they been inherited.

A more detailed description of Vulgar Latin and its development in Gaul can be found elsewhere. The differing substratum in Germania however ultimately led to a divergence of Gallo- and Germano-Romance dialects from around the 2nd century CE. One of the earliest Northern Romance developments that marks the split with Western Romance is the further development of the Vulgar Latin vowel system, as outlined below. N-Rom also did not take part in the intervocalic lenition undergone by all the W-Rom dialects. Also distinctive is that the palatisation of stops before front vowels, a common feature of W-Rom, is not present in N-Rom where such consonants were instead geminated. Since such palatisation is singularly lacking in N-Rom despite the fact that very early evidence exists for palatisation in Latin, it is thought that not only did this feature not develop further in N-Rom but that existing palatised consonants must have reverted to pure stops. The generally accepted hypothesis for this phenomenon is that palatised consonants did not exist in the languages of Pre-Roman Germania, and this exerted a strong substratic influence causing their elimination in N-Rom. The final major defining feature of early Proto-Northern Romance is the change in stress from the penult or antepenult to the word stem. </div><br> ==== Stress ==== Pimary stress in Proto-Northern Romance moved to the word stem in all instances. Formerly stressed vowels retained a slight, secondary stress. For example: {{SC|haˈbēmus}} > *''ˈhāˌbīms''. The change in stress coupled with the syncope of unstressed vowels had a considerable effect on morphology. </div><br> ==== Vowels ==== The 10-vowel system of classical Latin had already, through a replacement of length distinctions with qualitative distinctions and subsequent merger of some qualities, evolved into a 7 or 8 vowel system in the Italo-Northwestern dialects of Vulgar Latin. In Proto-Northern Romance the vowel system developed further, and a phonemic length distinction began to re-emerge. {{shaded table| title=Evolution of vowels in PNR | cols=3 }} |''VL''||||''PNR'' |- | ɪ ||> || iː |- | e ||> || ɪ |- | eː ||> || ɪ |- | ɛ ||> || ɛ |- | æː&sup1; ||>|| aː |- | a ||> || a |- | ʊ ||> || uː |- | o ||> || ʊ |- | ɔ ||> || ɔː |- |} <small>&sup1; From Latin diphthong /a͡i/. In other VL dialects this vowel merged with /ɛ/.</small> </div><br> ===== Vowel Lengthening in Open Syllables ===== Vowels in open syllables became lengthened, and three new sounds /ɛː/, /eː/ and /oː/ emerged: {{shaded table| title=Open Syllable Lengthening | cols=3 }} | ɪ ||> || eː |- | ɛ ||> || ɛː |- | a ||> || aː |- | ʊ ||> || oː |} </div><br> ===== A-Mutation ===== A short high vowel (/ɪ/ or /ʊ/) was lowered when the following syllable contained a non-high vowel (/aː/, /eː/, /ɛː/, or /ɔː/). The high vowel was not lowered, however, if /j/ intervened between it and the following non-high vowel. An intervening nasal consonant followed by a consonant of any kind also blocked the process. {{shaded table| title=A-Mutation | cols=11 }} | ɪ ||> || ɛ |- | ʊ ||> || ɔ |} </div><br> ===== Vowel Breaking ===== Some long vowels broke and became diphthongs. {{shaded table| title=Vowel Breaking | cols=3 }} | eː ||> || e͡ı |- | ɛː ||> || ɛ͡ə |- | oː ||> || o͡u |- | ɔː ||> || ɔ͡ə |} </div><br> ===== Vowel Syncope in Non-Stressed Syllables ===== The process of vowel elision began prior to the separate development of Proto-Northern Romance, such as with the loss of unstressed vowels between an obstruent and a liquid (e.g. {{SC|Populus}} > *{{SC|Poplus}}). This syncope continued in Proto-Northern Romance, with the loss of non-initial pretonic vowels, and unstressed post-tonic e and u. </div><br> ==== Consonants ==== Consonants underwent many changes in their evolution from Vulgar Latin. The main changes are summarised below. </div><br> ===== Assimilation in Consonant Clusters ===== In common with Gallo-Romance, the Germano-Romance dialects assimilated some consonant clusters. {{shaded table| title=Assimilation | cols=3 }} |''VL''||||''PNR'' |- | tl ||> || kl |- | bs ||> || ps |- | bt ||> || pt |- | skl ||>|| sl |- | nkt ||> || nt |- |} </div><br> ===== Simplification of Consonant Clusters ===== Certain consonant clusters were simplified. {{shaded table| title=Simplification | cols=3 }} |''VL''||||''PNR'' |- | ns ||> || s |- | ks ||> || s |- | ls ||> || s |- | mpt ||>|| nt |- | kw ||> || k &sup1; |- |} <small>&sup1; Except before /a/ or /aː/</small> </div><br> ===== Loss of Final Consonants ===== Final m had been lost since classical times. In Proto-Northern Romance final n was also lost (except in monosyllables) from a very early stage and, later, final d. The loss of final d is attributed to the Gallo-Romance super- / adstratum. </div><br> ===== Interchange of w, b and u ===== The pronunciation of b and w had begun to merge in Vulgar Latin, as the two sounds approached [β]. In the Germanian dialects it appears w remained perhaps more distinct while b developed two allophones, [b] and [β], depending on position. Ultimately there was some interchange of b and w, depending on position, or vocalisation of either to u, ū or au. * b or w between i or e and a short vowel vocalised to u * b or w between u or ō and a short vowel vocalised to ū * b or w between o, a or ā and a short vowel vocalised to au * w before t vocalised to ū * w after m shifted to b * b was generally realised as [β], except in initial position or after m, when it was realised as [b]. * b after any obstruent shifted to w * b before w shifted to w </div><br> ===== Consonant Shifts ===== The following sound shifts are also attested in Proto-Northern Romance: {{shaded table| title=Consonant Shifts | cols=4 }} |''VL''||||''PNR''|| |- | Any labial ||> || f || before t |- | Any dental + t||> || ss || |- | ss ||> || st || before r |- | f ||>|| θ || except before l |- | z ||> || s || |- | (s)sj ||> || x || |- | x ||> || h || between vowels |- | gj ||> || dj || |- | dj ||> || j || in initial position |- | g ||> || j || before front vowels |- |} ===== Gemination ===== Any consonant (except r) was geminated when it fell between a short vowel and j. * *''cla'''''d'''''ju'' > *''cla'''''dd'''''jō'' * *''ra'''''t'''''jōnis'' > *''ra'''''tt'''''jōnes'' == Morphology == '''''Note with regard to spelling:''''' ''The written language of the literate Roman inhabitants of Germania was Classical Latin.

Similarly ''/g/'', which could be'' [ɣ] ''or'' [g]'', is transcribed as ''g''.'' </div><br> === Nouns === Latin's seven case system had reduced to four in Proto-Northern Romance – nominative, accusative, genitive and dative. The neuter gender was lost, neuter nouns on the whole being reanalysed as masculine. </div><br> ==== 1st Declension ==== ===== Group I ===== Mainly feminine, with some masculine exceptions.

Most of the distinctions present in classical Latin continued to be made, but synthetic forms were often replaced with analytic ones. Other verb forms changed meaning, and new forms also appeared. In common with the other Romance dialects, Latin's synthetic passive voice was completely lost, to be replaced by a periphrastic form utilising the appropriately conjugated form of the verb 'to be' plus the past participle. Similar new periphrastic forms also developed for the future tense, utilising the verb 'to come' plus the infinitive, and the perfect tense, using 'to have' and the past participle. Latin's perfect tense had also functioned as a preterite (simple past). Following the development of a new periphrastic perfect tense (see above), use of the original perfect form continued but became limited solely to its preterite meaning. Latin's imperfect tense was completely lost in Proto-Northern Romance. <br> ==== Indicative Mood ==== =====1st Conjugation===== {| | <div> {{shaded table| title=Present | cols=7 }}

the Proto-Northern Romance period the past particples increasingly came to be prefixed with *cun- (from the Latin verbal prefix {{SC|con}}-). The precise semantic purpose of the prefix is unclear, although it clearly served to differentiate the past participles from other verb forms. It is possible the use of such a prefix had its origins in the pre-Roman languages of the Germanian tribes. The passive participle agrees with the gender of the patient. <br> ==== Auxilliary Verbs ==== =====*''Esttrē ''(to be)===== {| | <div> {{shaded table| title=Present | cols=7 }} |||||''Singular''||''Plural'' |- |||''1st person''|| *sou || *soums |- |||''2nd person''|| *es || *ehes |- |||''3rd Person''|| *ess || *sunt |} </div> | <div> {{shaded table| title=Preterite (Simple Past) | cols=4 }} |||||''Singular''||''Plural'' |- |||''1st person''|| *thwī || *thoums |- |||''2nd person''|| *thuhī || *thuhes |- |||''3rd Person''|| *thut || *thournt |} </div> |} ''*Esttrē'' was used in conjunction with a passive participle to create the passive voice. The passive participle agrees in gender with the patient.

The preterite of ''*wēnīrē'' was used in conjunction with an infinitive to create the conditional (i.e. 'future-in-the-past): ''*jō winbī perdōnārē'' (I would forgive). === Articles === ====Definite Article==== The definite article, present in some form in all of the Romance languages, must have arisen during the Vulgar Latin period since most surviving texts in early Romance show the articles fully developed. Definite articles formerly were demonstrative pronouns or adjectives; compare the fate of the Latin demonstrative adjective {{SC|ille}}, {{SC|illa}}, ({{SC|illud}}), in the Romance languages, becoming French ''le'' and ''la'', Catalan and Spanish ''el'' and ''la'', and Italian ''il'' and ''la''. The Portuguese articles ''o'' and ''a'' are ultimately from the same source. Sardinian went its own way here also, forming its article from {{SC|ipse}}, {{SC|ipsa}} (''su'', ''sa''); some Catalan and Occitan dialects have articles from the same source. The original Latin demonstrative adjectives were felt no longer to be specific enough.Reconstructed forms suggest that the inherited Latin demonstratives were made more forceful by being compounded with {{SC|ecce}}. On the other hand, even in the Oaths of Strasbourg, no demonstrative appears even in places where one would clearly be called for in all the later languages (for example: ''For Teuuî amari''). Using the demonstratives as articles may have still been considered overly informal for a royal oath in the ninth century. {{shaded table| title=Definite Article | cols=4 }} |||||''Masculine''||''Feminine'' |- |||''Nom. sing.''|| *lē || *la |- |||''Acc. sing.''|| *lō || *la |- |||''Gen. sing.''|| *lūjs || *lājs |- |||''Dat. sing.''|| *luī || *laī |- |||''Nom. plur.''|| *lī || *las |- |||''Acc. plur.''|| *lus || *las |- |||''Gen. plur.''|| *lărō || *lărō |- |||''Dat. plur.''|| *līs || *līs |} ====Indefinite Article==== The numeral {{SC|vnvs}}, {{SC|vna}} supplies the indefinite article.

The world grew out of two different games on the [[ZBB|Zompist Bulletin Board]]: a linguistic reconstruction game in 2005 for which Akana was originally created, and a diachronic derivation relay in 2006, which gradually metamorphosed into the conworld of today and its flagship language family, the [[Edastean languages]]. = History = == Historical telephone == In 2005 [[User:Legion|Legion]] had an idea that met with enthusiastic response: he challenged the members of the ZBB to create a proto-language and a set of daughter languages, and then have people try to reconstruct the proto-language from the daughters only. Due to a vague similarity with the ever-popular ''Polyglottal Telephone'' games on the ZBB, this game was called ''Historical Polyglottal Telephone''. There were two teams, each with a secret protolanguage; [http://thelegion.free.fr/Proto-Isles%20Grammar.htm Proto-Isles] was created by [[User:Ran|Ran]] for the first team, and [http://www.almeopedia.com/index.php/Ndak_Ta Ndak Ta] was created for the second by [[User:Tzinacan|Radius Solis]]. Work on the daughter languages was supplemented with some basic conworlding to provide a historical setting. Much of the basis for Akana grew out of Team Two's creation of the [http://www.almeopedia.com/index.php/Aiwa_valley Aiwa Valley], including both a local and a world map and brief descriptions of other peoples in the region. The original maps were drawn by Radius following the setting description originally proposed by [[User:zompist|zompist]], who later revised the world map to allow the Eastern Isles setting of Team One to be on the same planet. After the game was over, work on Akana slowed and then stopped. A summary of the state of the world at this time can be found in the [http://www.almeopedia.com/index.php/Ke%C4%8D%C7%BDn%C9%99 Kečǽnə articles] on Almeopedia. == The Cursed Relay == In 2006, Radius suggested another game for the ZBB: starting with one protolanguage, to develop several long chains of daughter languages, to explore linguistic change over great time depths. While there was no original intention to connect this "derivation relay" to the world of Akana, a protolanguage was needed as a base to start from, and Dewrad offered his [http://deinioljones.net/conlangs/adata/adata.htm Adāta] language from the Historical Telephone game. The structure of the relay began with each participant having ten days to complete at least a certain minimal level of description of their daughter language so that the next person in the chain could begin deriving a subsequent daugther from it. Three teams were formed. In the first generation, the direct daughters of Adāta - [[Æðadĕ]], [[Aθáta]], and [http://zhenlin.nsfhost.com/akana/ayasthi/ayasthi.html Ayāsthi] - were derived by [[User:ebilein|ebilein]], [[User:RHaden|RHaden]], and [[User:Zhen Lin|Zhen Lin]] respectively. [[User:gsandi|gsandi]], [[User:Rory|Rory]], and [[User:Legion|Legion]] provided the second generation, and the chains of descent continued for several months. Unfortunately, during this period a number of participants were forced to drop out for various personal reasons, some of them after losing their work in computer crashes. This gave rise to the game's nickname, "The Cursed Relay". The relay continued for months, gradually slowing as each link in the chains tended to take longer than previous ones had. Eventually work on these branches petered out, leaving only a few of the game's core participants still involved. By this time the three branches had reached their sixth, fourth, and fifth generations. == Revival == The modern game is far less structured than its two predecessors; as the Cursed Relay's original setup and progression slowly ground to a halt, those still interested in the world began creating other languages, broadening the [[Edastean languages|Edastean language family]] for fun. In mid 2007 Radius suggested that this new "contribute how and when you like" paradigm be made official. This led to a substantial fleshing out of the conworld's history and, in turn, to the return of several prior Akana contributors from both games to the active conworlding/conlanging scene. In late 2007 the level of activity reached a new high, with new maps, new historical descriptions, and new conlang proposals, among other things, appearing sometimes almost daily, with fast-paced discussion in between. Since then, work has slowed, and sometimes nearly halted for substantial lengths of time - but each time, progress has resumed. The central Edak sphere has reached an impressive level of description, and a body of work in other cultural spheres and language families is growing. In June 2008, the team launched the [http://tzirtzi.ipage.com/akana AkanaWiki] as an official project website, where articles on all kinds of topics relating to Akana are being published. In August 2009, the [http://akana.dreamersdisease.de AkanaForum] was opened as a place for detailed discussion about Akana. == Contributors to Akana, past and present == Following is a list of all participants who have made material contributions to the world of Akana, in alphabetical order.

It encompasses '''Ndak Ta''' and the large number of tongues descended from it. These are the principal languages of the cultural sphere centered on the Aiwa Valley. Edastean is itself a branch of the larger '''Macro-Edastean Family'''. Currently known direct descendants of Ndak Ta are: *'''Adāta''', native to the Rathedān highlands, with its numerous descendants, the Dāiadak Languages, spread in every direction by the conquests of the [[Empire of Athalē]] *'''Ndok Aisô''', native to the original Ndak homeland of Lasomo *'''Buruya Nzaysa''', the language of the trading town of Buruya on the middle Aiwa river *'''Naidda''', the language of [[Kasca]] (the areas in and around the delta of the Aiwa) which was the center of Ndak civilization *'''Fáralo''', spoken in the areas to the north of Kasca, and the language of the Empire of [[Huyfárah]] *'''Komeyech''', spoken in the Dagæm Islands *'''Qedik''', spoken on the coast north of the Northern Mountains Fáralo and Adāta, the languages of the two great Edastean empires of the Classical Era, are believed to be the most influential in the long term. The family was created by members of the [[ZBB]] in the course of two different conlang relay games. The first one, a reconstruction relay, was begun in 2005. Two teams each derived five daughter language sketches from one protolanguage, which was then to be reconstructed by the other group. Starting from Radius Solis' [http://www.almeopedia.com/index.php/Ndak_Ta Ndak Ta], Team Two of this game created [http://www.deinioljones.net/conlangs/adata/adata.htm Adāta], [http://www.zompist.com/faralo2.htm Fáralo], [http://staff.washington.edu/salmiak/akana/naidda.html Naidda], [http://conlang.awardspace.com/zbbbackup/ndok_aiso.html Ndok Aisô], and [http://www.almeopedia.com/index.php/Qedik Qedik]. The second relay, which started in the summer of 2006, took Dewrad's '''Adāta''' language as a starting point and set out to create several long branches of the language family, the longest of which is currently in the 8th generation. As of October 2007, this relay is still ongoing, and currently being supplemented with a [tzirtzi.ipage.com/akana collaborative conworlding effort].

The Dakeh Vah in turn has to variant chords, the Dakeh Vah Sein (the Greater Common Chord) and the Dakeh Vah Fhean (the Lesser Common Chord). ==Dakeh Vah Sein== The most widespread chord, this is based on the Dakeh Vah, which in turn when viewed through the western 12-tone system can be deconstructed as: '''Note 1''' -threesteps- '''Note 2''' -twosteps- '''Note 3''' -twosteps- '''Note 4''' -twosteps- '''Note 5''' Or, for example, if Note 1 is equivalent to C, the entire scale would be CEGAB. This chord then takes the notes 1, 3, and 4, or for our examplary C scale, CGA. ==Dakeh Vah Fhean== This is the secondly most widespread thread, also based on the Dakeh Vah. It uses the same scale, but instead takes notes 1, 4, and 5, or for the example C scale, CAB. ==Bokah Dakeh== What is refered to as the Bokah Dakeh is, in fact, a hamitonic scale, which are extremely rare on earth outside of the North African region. '''Note 1''' -onestep- '''Note 2''' -twosteps- '''Note 3''' -foursteps- '''Note 4''' -onestep- '''Note 5''' The main chord is formed with 145, on a C-based scale, CGAflat. Thaduracian 5039 34247 2008-07-21T15:06:32Z Rivendale 279 [[dal'qörian|Back to Dalcurian main page]] Suprisingly, a fair bit is known about early Thaduracian (210BC-300AD) pronunciation and grammar. This was aided by the discovery of documents (thought to be that of Thadurac himself), detailing various points on word markings, inflections and indeed some on pronunciation. Initial studies showed that early Thaduracian was quite synthetic. Verbs were highly inflected to denote things such as: ''person, modality, mood, voice'' (always the indicative as there was no passive), and ''tense''. Pronouns were rarely used with the verb, possibly only for emphasis. Thaduracian was a syllabic language. That is, consonants had an inherent vowel (though these vowels differed from consonant to consonant, unlike most abugidas where the inherent vowel was the same for all). These 'inherent vowel sounds' remained static in base words and roots, but could be changed in affixes by diacritical markings. Vowel sounds could also be silenced, again with a specific marker. The alphabet consisted of 17 consonants (however the sounds '''ch''' and '''th''' had no inherent vowel), and was as follows (inherent vowels included with the nearest English sound representation): '''bi'''-as in bit /bɪ/ '''po'''-as in pot /pɒ/ '''de'''-as in street /di:/ '''to'''-as in boat /bəʊ/ '''c/k/qa'''-as in father /ka:/ '''gu'''-as in but /gʊ/ '''fo'''-as in caught /fɔ:/ '''va'''-as in bait /veɪ/ '''su'''-as in soon /su/ '''zi'''-as in like /zaɪ/ '''le'''-as in bet /le/ '''ma'''-as in father /ma:/ '''ni'''-as in bit /nɪ/ '''re'''-as in street /ɹi:/ '''hu'''-as in root /hu/ '''th'''- '''ch'''- As we know, King Thadurac was a Carthaginian and would have spoke '''Punic''', a neo-Phonecien language, and would have written in a Phonecian variant. When he created Thaduracian, he chose to write it using his own varient of the Etruscan alphabet. He created glyphs with a one to one morphemic identity, assigned ''stand alone'' values to each character, and also marked some characters with diacritics, also giving them stand alone values (mainly to denote ''prepositions'' and ''conjunctions''). Since the Etruscan alphabet did not distinguish voiced and unvoiced occlusives, ''b, d'' and ''g'', he created varients of other glyphs to denote these as they had to be distinguished in Thaduracian (due to the vowel inherency). Below is a transliteration of a Thaduracian pagan 'Prayer For The Dying', as it would have looked written in the Latin alphabet (is not phonetic, see above for pronunciation; original script to follow shortly): [[Image:Thad_prayer.jpg‎]] '''Find your way to the land of the ancestors,<br/>for the way is lit from the light of God.<br/>They wait for you with open arms,<br/>there on the edge, between this world and the next.<br/>See; they stand.<br/>Ancestral spirits, welcome our brother to the place we all must go.'''</span> Although there were many prayers and ritual writings in Thadurac's new language, it lacked standardization. It wasn't until the transition into proto-Dalcurian that a standard written form was established. This became evident after studying later versions of the same [above] prayer in which variations of verb stems and grammar can be seen. Other Thaduracian traits : * Adjectives and nouns with a verbal relative were formed with derivational affixes. * It was highly morphemic; for example, free adjectives (non verb-related) were formed with bound morphemes to denote opposition, eg: '''ged'''-''big'', '''stiged'''-''small'', '''belu'''-''cold'', '''stibelu'''-''warm.'' * It only had one past tense: preterite and perfect were rendered as the same, although telecity could be accounted for with a marker. * There was no copula 'to be', a feature that still exists in the language today. * Syncopation towards the end of the Thaduracian period. An interesting feature of Thaduracian through to modern Dalcurian is that, the language has never undergone typical 'vowel shifts' that many languages suffer. Vowel sounds of today more or less emulate those of Thaduracian and it's successors. Proto-Dalcurian 5044 34246 2008-07-21T15:05:11Z Rivendale 279 [[dal'qörian|back to Dalcurian mainpage]] Proto-Dalcurian (300AD-800AD) saw the following changes and introductions: * syncopation and the loss of the inherent vowel, which resulted in the decline of the Thaduracian alphabet, replaced by the Irish unical, vowels became fully represented but only phonemically * introduction of the character '''Þ''', representing an unaspirated '''th''' * minor vowel shift, '''/ʊ/''' became long as in ''do'' * many loan words from germanic and celtic origin * '''ch''' became somewhat 'gutteral' as in the German ''doch'' Ethran 5046 40987 2008-12-18T15:56:38Z Caeruleancentaur 11 /* aríſanmîĸŭos Saffron Sauce */ =<font color=blue>aríſanmîĸŭos</font> Saffron Sauce= *1/3 cup [[wikipedia:ghee|ghee]] (or butter) *6 small leeks minced *1 cup vegetable stock *1 cup mead *1 cup heavy cream *1/2 teaspoon salt *1/4 teaspoon white pepper *1/2 teaspoon saffron #Sauté leeks in ghee until tender. #Stir in mead and stock and reduce by half. #Stir in cream, salt, pepper and saffron. #Boil, then simmer for five minutes. #Strain, discarding leeks and saffron. #Serve over buckwheat noodles.

This goes with his "Numbers ..."; it also goes with the threads "Kinterms ..." and "Colorterms ..." which I started in this forum. How many, and who, among us have more-or-less completish vocabularies for body parts in some of our conlangs? And which conlangs? ("Not me, yet", is, I'm afraid, my first contribution.) Here's my attempt at an outline. If you find it incomplete, add stuff; if you find a different order would be better, re-arrange it; and if you find it makes "different" things your conlang would make "same", edit it. Body -Blood vessel --Artery --Vein -Material of which it is composed --Bone --Gristle or cartilage (sp? cartilege?) --Skin --Muscle --Fat --Blood -Trunk (torso) --Chest ---Heart ---Lung --Abdomen or Belly ---Stomach ---Liver ---Spleen ---Intestines --Waist -Neck -Extremity --Head ---Hair ---Ear ----Earhole ----Earlobe? ---Eye ----Eyeball -----Iris -----Pupil -----Sclera ----Eyebrow ----Eyelid -----Eyelash ----Eye socket ----Tear gland ---Nose ----Nostril ---Mouth ----Jaw -----Maxilla (upper jaw) -----Mandible (lower jaw) ----Tooth -----Incisor -----Eyetooth or Canine Tooth -----Molar (and/or premolar?) ----Tongue --Limb ---Arm ----Shoulder ----Elbow ----Wrist ----Humerus (upper arm) ----Lower Arm ----Hand -----Palm ---Leg ----Hip -----buttock (if different) ----Knee ----Ankle ----Thigh (upper leg) ----Shank (lower leg, between knee and ankle) -----Shin -----Calf ----Foot -----Sole -----Heel -----Ball --Digit (toe or thumb or finger) ---Nail ----Fingernail ----Toenail ---Toe ----Pollex ("Great" Toe or Big Toe) ----Pinky toe or little toe ----Other individual toes? ---Thumb ----Thumbnail ---Finger ----Index finger ----Pinky finger ----Middle finger ----Ring finger --My god, how could I have left out the genitalia?!?! ---female ----vagina ----womb ---male ----penis ----testicle -Side --Back --Front --Left --Right --Bottom (lower) --Top (upper) -Orifices --anus --urethral meatus? --vagina was covered under "genitalia". --mouth and nose and ear were covered under "head". So was "eye", but your conlang might not consider that an orifice. ----- I am looking forward to the answers! Thanks, in advance. -------- <EDIT:> Does your conlang, or do your conlangs, use any of these terms, or reduced forms of them, as affixes? Or as verbs or adjectives or prepositions or conjunctions or pronouns? (I left out "adverbs" and "interjections". I assume the "interjections" part is "yes", because some of these are probably good curse-words. I can't think how to make one of these body-part nouns into an adverb, though.) </EDIT> -------- <EDIT:> What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life? Popular answers are the liver (hence the name "liver") and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of emotion? Popular answers are the stomach, the guts, and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness?

I tried to leave out most things that were microscopic (like the Islets), and most things that were not visible on the surface (like the Islets). (I also left out the Organ of Zuckerkandl, which resides in the arch of the aorta. Nobody seems to know what it's for.) (And I left out the voicebox or larynx, and other parts of the speech system. Perhaps I should have included some of them. Others are welcome to, if they feel it would be good to do so.) Bones and blood and stomachs-and-or-intestines and hearts and wombs, however, seemed like I should include them. Blood is often visible on the surface, after a minor injury. If bone is visible on the surface, a major injury has occurred; but one can detect the bone from the outside by touch. Hearts move and make a sound detectable from the outside. The same is true of the stomach-and-or-intestines; furthermore the owner of the stomach can often tell when it's empty, or when it wants to operate in reverse (the name of that sensation is "nausea"). Wombs have visible results; and their owners know what's going on in them. (Actually, I've been kicked awake by an unborn baby whose mother slept through the kick!) As for livers and spleens and sweetbreads and so on: They are often referred to in old-fashioned conversations preceding the advent of modern medicine; I assume that the practice of butchery, together with those of surgery and veterinary and medicine, familiarized people with some of them. In some Native North American languages, for instance, an automobile's battery is referred to as its "liver". It would be reasonable for some conlangs not to have all of these, and for others to have body-part terms in addition to these. cromulant wrote: My word for arm is khaib.

Sorry, it's called Pabappa. Quote: Why more than one word? The ones separated by commas are synonyms. In some cases, there are synonyms because Pabappa was spoken for a long time over a large area, and since much of its vocabulary was created by loaning from aboriginal languages, even body parts could be called something different from one place to the other. Also, some words are just variations of each other; e.g. blampilpim and pilpi are both from the same root. And in the case of the genitals, there are a lot of slang words as well. Some of them probably have slightly different uses, but I haven't thought about it deeply yet. No word for thigh yet, other than if I wanted to make a phrase that just means "upper behind leg", but I might think of something better eventually. Is this all going to a database somewhere or are you just curious? cromulant wrote: Kuvdamos, I'm detecting a fondness for bilabial plosives. Am I right? Yes.

In some cases, there are synonyms because Pabappa was spoken for a long time over a large area, and since much of its vocabulary was created by loaning from aboriginal languages, even body parts could be called something different from one place to the other. Also, some words are just variations of each other; e.g. blampilpim and pilpi are both from the same root. And in the case of the genitals, there are a lot of slang words as well. Some of them probably have slightly different uses, but I haven't thought about it deeply yet. Kind of what I thought. Thanks.

Interesting; thanks. (I have been told -- I don't know whether it's true -- that in "modern western" societies, men tend to see certain parts of their bodies as the "center of their sexual attractiveness", whereas women OTOH see each and every part of their bodies as the "center(?) of their sexual attractiveness". Your Vernaclerians' thinking that each part of their body is the "seat of life" sounds a little like the latter. But do they feel that way about hair and nails?

So the concept of "eye" might be expressed as "It lets me see" and "genital" as "it gives me sexual pleasure". So far, though, I haven't worked out all the details.

The main Psinu belief is that there are three main parts of a person: 1) the physical body, exemplified by the hands (eg. "bring your hands over here" - come here) 2)The conection with God (this is sometimes used to mean your ability to love someone, because it is believe that this connection with God escorts your soul to heaven, so if it's gone, the person has lost their soul), exemplified in the brain (actually, they think it's just a goey good-for-nothing, yet God must have put it there for a purpose, so maybe it's our connection with God?) This is not like the christian 'Holy Spirit, because it doesn't help you in life, it just guides you to heaven. 3) The personality, the 'real you'.

What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness? Popular answers are the eyes and the heart; but modern Western culture says "the brain". My current conculture project is retooling a proto-language, so at the moment I lack a total vocabulary and am not too sure on how to expand the entire ideal. However, I would like to answer these questions here. The Paratinó should not be considered an individual, existing culture. There are are little known texts about these people, and what is drawn here is drawn as a common denominator from the cultures that arose from the Paratinó. The assumed idea is that any given emotion has three components: * A fluid (blood, semen, saliva, bile) * An organ (any of them, really; though the genitals, liver, heart, brain, eyes, and tongue are chief) * Direction. This means that the path to any emotion requires one fluid to be filtered through an organ in a very specific direction. To make it simple, there is no simple way to say "life is seated in the liver," life can be many things. The fluid of blood is oftentimes called *adda sēυsŭ, or humor vitae. This sort of phrase stands side-by-side for the root for blood, *φĭlem. When one is lively and active, the blood flows through the heart upward. When one is wrought with anger, it is upward through the brain. When one is virile, it is semen (*adda tmilsŭ, the water of birth, or simply sθiwar) that flows downward into the genitals; however whenever when one is lustfull and simply desires self-pleasure, it is saliva that passes through the genitals (saliva being *adda gnāstıtsŭ, the water of desire; also aspa, spit) When on is empassioned with love, it is semen that flows to the left through the heart. Consciousness and guilt are bile (*adda graχwisŭ, the water of spite, or graχwisos that flow downward through the liver. When one is reighteous, bile passes upward through the liver. I hope this helps, and soon I should be able to expand the vocabulary to name all the organs.

"wòxin", "wòxel", and "woxh" look related; are they? Are there other relationships I've missed? The suffix "-el" means something like "the source of." So "telùmar" is hand, and "telumàrel" is literally "hand source", or the arm. With "woxh," which is foot, the h is silent and then dropped when the suffix is added making "wòxel," or leg. "Wòxin" is foot with the suffix for what equates to "middle." There are a few more like "ë̀ro" and "ë̀roi" for body and head. "ërotelùmar," meaning hair, is also related believe it or not, to hand, literally meaning "little hands."

Old Man Neek wrote: TomHChappell wrote: What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life? What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of emotion? What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness? My current conculture project is retooling a proto-language, so at the moment I lack a total vocabulary and am not too sure on how to expand the entire ideal. However, I would like to answer these questions here. The Paratinó should not be considered an individual, existing culture. There are are little known texts about these people, and what is drawn here is drawn as a common denominator from the cultures that arose from the Paratinó. The assumed idea is that any given emotion has three components: * A fluid (blood, semen, saliva, bile) * An organ (any of them, really; though the genitals, liver, heart, brain, eyes, and tongue are chief) * Direction. This means that the path to any emotion requires one fluid to be filtered through an organ in a very specific direction. To make it simple, there is no simple way to say "life is seated in the liver," life can be many things. The fluid of blood is oftentimes called *adda sēυsŭ, or humor vitae. This sort of phrase stands side-by-side for the root for blood, *φĭlem. When one is lively and active, the blood flows through the heart upward. When one is wrought with anger, it is upward through the brain. When one is virile, it is semen (*adda tmilsŭ, the water of birth, or simply sθiwar) that flows downward into the genitals; however whenever when one is lustfull and simply desires self-pleasure, it is saliva that passes through the genitals (saliva being *adda gnāstıtsŭ, the water of desire; also aspa, spit) When on is empassioned with love, it is semen that flows to the left through the heart. Consciousness and guilt are bile (*adda graχwisŭ, the water of spite, or graχwisos that flow downward through the liver. When one is reighteous, bile passes upward through the liver. I hope this helps, and soon I should be able to expand the vocabulary to name all the organs. @You, Neek ('cause there is only one of you); Oh, yes, it surely does help; thanks. Have you been able to expand the vocabulary yet to any other names of organs that you'd like us to see? If so, where can we look for them? -Klaivas- wrote: Ooo, I forgot this thread existed!

I can't see any corresponding justification for indexing this thread; it's a nice collection, but it is just a collection of vocabulary from our conlangs. _________________ Amaya wrote: Every now and then, the world tries to say something.

The heart and guts are the home of the emotions - the heart beats faster with just about any intense emotion, and when it gets even more intense, the stomach aches. Consciousness was associated with the eyes, although it then became associated with the brain because people who had lost their eyes still reported being conscious - the brain was the obvious choice, being behind the eyes, and able to see through them. _________________ ils wrote: Imralu: certified sane!

I tried looking it up at WP but I couldn't understand the picture. Tears are the watery, salty secretion that keeps the eyes moist. The bulk of the refracting of light during focussing is done by a thin veil of tears; the lens just fine-tunes it. Tears also contain protein (and FAIK other biological ingredients); that is why it is necessary to clean contact lenses once a day. When the eye is irritated the production and flow of tears is increased, to the point that they leak out of the eye; the usual result is to wash out whatever is irritating the eye. When someone weeps, they often over-produce tears this same way. Tear-glands (aka lacrimal glands) are in the upper outer corners of the eyes. In the lower inner corners of the eyes are ducts that ordinarily take tears down into the nose; if the tear-glands aren't overproducing, this is where tears usually are disposed of. Qwynegold wrote: And what is meant with bottom and top side? Is it supposed to be the lower and upper half of the body? Just think either "bottom of body" and "top of body", or "lower half of body" and "upper half of body". If you want two pairs of terms, go ahead and provide both. Otherwise take your pick. aardwolf wrote: Museum? Nah; there's no real 'important' information here. If more people responded to the following questions, would it? I wrote: Does your conlang, or do your conlangs, use any of these terms, or reduced forms of them, as affixes? Or as verbs or adjectives or prepositions or conjunctions or pronouns? (I left out "adverbs" and "interjections". I assume the "interjections" part is "yes", because some of these are probably good curse-words. I can't think how to make one of these body-part nouns into an adverb, though.) What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life? Popular answers are the liver (hence the name "liver") and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of emotion? Popular answers are the stomach, the guts, and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness? Popular answers are the eyes and the heart; but modern Western culture says "the brain". aardwolf wrote: Were it a thread about 'how does your language chop up (so to speak) the body .. eg one word for arm+hand etc' then maybe.

Feel free to rephrase the question(s) then! Or pose this question, if it's the one you like. How would posters modify this thread so that it would be museum-worthy? I think you'd need things like discussion of (systematic) cultural associations (e.g. your original questions about the seat of emotion, etc.), strong cross-linguistic tendencies (always distinguishing certain body parts or not, words for the genitals being taboo/impolite), and derivation (e.g. how my conlang Old Gzho uses the same word for "arm" and "hand", but can also refer to the arm as the "hand-neck"). Also usage of body part terms for other things, i.e. verbal affixes, locative/directional expressions, etc. And investigating how changes to body structure would affect language, e.g. having no lips wouldn't just mean a lack of labial consonants - you also wouldn't be able to produce rounded vowels, which could have a big affect on the vowel inventory. _________________ Òmiç lumei ge lòmtau vi ge bleiskou, ge tiltau vi ge vighou, ge kivo vi ge prèhou.

I'm pretty sure I included, or added, some of those; tear gland, upper and lower jaw, thigh, shin, two of the toes and "other individual toes?", and each of the fingers. I'm not sure what a shank is. I didn't include the calf, I don't think; I guess I should. I included the hips; I didn't distinguish the buttocks from the hips. I didn't get into internal organs that a layman couldn't tell were there and doing things without opening up the body; so that's why I left out the ovaries and the prostate, though I include the womb and the testes. My last update on that was July 15 on Page 4.

It should then be possible to derive names for many different parts of the body using a system of dividing up, like compass direction names use. For humans I don't believe more than 16 compass points in a plane are natural. For a solid I haven't worked it out or thought it out; I can see 48 (in rectangular "xyz" coordinates, the coordinates' absolute values could be in 6 orders, and the coordinates could come in 8 combinations of positive and negative), but can't be certain more wouldn't be possible. For instance if spherical coordinates (longitude and latitude) are used, and my idea of "16 points is natural in a plane" is true, there might be 128 "points" on a sphere (8 latitudes x 16 longitudes). If a "spherical coordinate system" is used, there needs to be some way to indicate or suggest distance from the center. (If a "cylindrical coordinate system" is used, it would be "distance from the pole" that would need to be suggested or indicated.)

Halfway between north and north-north-east is north-by-east (that is, the next half-point east of north), and half of that (half of half being a quarter) is north-one-qaurter-east (said point being one quarter of the way from north to the next point in an easterly direction). _________________ That's RABBI Dude to you.

I could have been wrong about that, but the details don't matter here. TomHChappell wrote: simon.clarkstone wrote: For the Kigdatsi native language I can invent short names for some extremity points, the font/back distinction, some horizontal "slices", and some lines through the body. It should then be possible to derive names for many different parts of the body using a system of dividing up, like compass direction names use. For a solid I haven't worked it out or thought it out; I can see 48 (in rectangular "xyz" coordinates, the coordinates' absolute values could be in 6 orders, and the coordinates could come in 8 combinations of positive and negative), but can't be certain more wouldn't be possible. For instance if spherical coordinates (longitude and latitude) are used, and my idea of "16 points is natural in a plane" is true, there might be 128 "points" on a sphere (8 latitudes x 16 longitudes). If a "spherical coordinate system" is used, there needs to be some way to indicate or suggest distance from the center. (If a "cylindrical coordinate system" is used, it would be "distance from the pole" that would need to be suggested or indicated.) There'd have to be at least two degrees (body vs extremity), perhaps three (body vs limb vs hand-or-foot-or-digit) or four ("body" might come in two grades, core vs "rind" or some such); possibly a human language might have five or six, I'd have to think about that; a non-human system might have more than six, or be likelier than a human system to have more than three. The system would necessarily be as irregular and wonky as the body is. Fortunately, their limbs all have the same basic structure, so analogising could reduce the set of needed roots. (It is not the same as the pentadactyl limb system.) TBH I am not sure how I will actually do this, or how similar to the compass system it would actually be, though cylindrical co-ordinates look promising. I mean that (e.g.) there would be no root for "elbow", but something derived from "wrist" and "shoulder". And "knee" and one of the wing-joints would be the same word, with just one part changed because they are on different limbs. Or you could refer to (e.g.) "the bottom half of the upper-right quadrant of your back" in a simple way.

No. They are not even evolved, but designed. This makes them odd in many ways, though mostly good ones.

I like your website. I enjoyed reading about how they use 366 days in a year, and subtract. Here is the Zzarnildarciz Calendar: The Zzarnildarciz calendar is an observation based solar calendar that begins whenever the spring equinox occurs. It's very accurate, but difficult to predict when leap days occur. The Zzarnildarciz year has 365 days, or 366 days on leap year. Leap years happen whenever the spring equinox occurs after noon. The 365 days are divided into 15 months of 24 days, and five extra festival days, including new years day. Each month contains eight weeks of 3 days each. Names of the months: RROIVcav-cal MATTha-cav-cal ZAELPna-cav-cal TOORZcav-cal ADvaid-na-cav-cal TCCICvoitt-cav-cal zaic-loMARflid-cav-ca BONharm-cav-cal ROCloi-cav-cal MIPtzoo-cav-cal fpailNORcav-cal DDARLcav-cal aeczNILcav-cal TIRmadcc-cav-cal VADnlairttd-cav-cal Word for Week: orlzLAC (Means literally "A group of Days").

Have you developed a special "ConCalendar"? I haven't created the actual names yet, sorry. My conculture's calendar is lunisolar. They have a cycle consisting of 57 years = 705 months = 20819 days. Most months (374 out of each 705) are 30 days long, but some months (331 out of each 705) are 29 days long. Most years (twelve out of each nineteen) are twelve months long, but some years (seven out of each nineteen) are thirteen months long. (19 years = 235 months.) (Two of the 19-year, 235-month thirds of each 57-year, 705-month cycle are 6940 days long; the other one is 6939 days long. The two longer thirds will have 125 30-day months and 110 29-day months; the shorter third will have 124 30-day months and 111 29-day months.) So a twelve-month year is usually 354 days long but may be 355 days long; and a thirteen-month year is usually 384 days long but may be 383 days long. It's going to be complicated. I meant it to be. But I expect it to turn out a little less complicated than it looks from this description. They may not have "weeks" at all; if not, of course they won't have names for days of the week. But they'll probably have names for years. I'm thinking maybe 19 names for year-of-the-cycle, 13 names for month-of-the-year, and 30 names for day-of-the-month. leonsherlock wrote: I will post my zzarnildarciz calendar, complete with the names of the months, days, festivals, etc etc soon, I look forward to it. leonsherlock wrote: (But I'm currently late for a rock show I'm playing at, so I'll post these later).

It was the most detailed conthing I ever did, though. It's all in a spreadsheet somewhere at home. I will say what I can remember off the top of my head, though... um.. there's 489 days of the year; 12 months (though I've been thinking about changing this to match my moons a bit better) with days in the pattern 41-41-41-40-41-41-41-40-41-41-41-40. There's two leap years every five years, on the 2nd and 5th year of each cycle, on a different one of the 40-length months, and there's a special leap year every 160 years (next one's in 2017, I think). 489 days there is equivalent to 471 (IIRC) days here, so their days are shorter by about 51 minutes (IIRC). The days are broken up into four quarters, morning/afternoon/evening/night, each of which is 6 earth-hours long, and each is broken into 16 "hours" (equiv. 22.5 earth-minutes each), each into 18 "minutes" (equiv 1.5 earth-minutes each), and each of those into 30 "seconds" (equiv 2.5 earth-seconds each). It should be noted that while it's equivalent to 2.5 earth-seconds, you also have to factor in that the day is slightly shorter overall. What else? Um... the week of 8 days is based on the cycle of the largest moon, which repeats every 8 days. You get the New Moon day off work, and most places give the day or two days beforehand as well. Oh, and it was new year around a month ago, on 23rd September; it's just turned 1112 K.Z. (though I'm not sure what that stands for yet, I just like it...). So a belated happy new year to all!

They count in units of the Planck time since some point I haven't decided, but which is in our late 19th century, and is the instant of their creation (by the humans in their sub-universe). 1 Planck time (the shortest physically meaningful period of time) is a rather inconvinient 5.39121E-44s, so they will often work in units of 60^24 Planck times, about 1/4 of a second to us. _________________ Thi sisaf akecon langbu tno onec antell.

To complete a full orbit around its host star, it takes approximately 466 days (465.98 if you want to fuss). There are plenty of ways to count, though the most common (and thusly most pertinent) is the Qmuning reckoning (as they reckoned a lot). First we must understand how the year is divided. The year is split into 4 parts coinciding with the 4 seasons. Each seasons takes approximately 116.5 days). The year is generally called a Qaqum, or a Span of 4 (seasons, or qate). Each season is named after one of the four stages of life, and starts with Fall: I. Ahkninq, Birth (lit., Birth) :: Fall. II. Hsamqoninq, Child (lit., Sees-not (the path)) :: Winter. III. Tqasninq, Adult (lit., Walks (the path)) :: Spring. IV. Qmunninq (lit., Ascends (the path)) :: Summer. (The words listed here are generally classifiers used in modern context, in reality, these were featured in finite phrases, that is the first day of the year would be refered to as, "When the year was born," or when referencing the III month, "When the year walks.") Each season can be further subdivided into 16 smaller spans, refered to as Hsepqum, or Spans of 7 (days, or o). Not each Hsepqum, though, is seven days long. Four Hsepqum have 8 days (the last Hsepqum of the Qate), while one (the first Hsepqum) have 9. Each Hsepqum can be numbered IV to I, where the IV is the first Hsepqum. Oftentimes, however, these are named. The function of an individual calendar generally dictates the name of each month; furthermore, the names of some are more Similar to Roman calendars, the month is not dated from the day it starts and counts up until it reaches the end. Rather, there are three days out of the month that are named, while the rest are counted from the close of the month. The first day of the Hsepqum is called the Ahko, or Initial-Day. The day before the last of the month is called Qmunemo, or the Day Near the Ascent. The last day is called the Qmuno, or Day of the Ascent. The other days of the Hsepqum are refered to as E Qmuno and the number, or x from the Ascent So, the first Hsepqum would be: Code: (This list also features modern names, transliterated from Hanáwenzo) (Ahkninq) Ahko (Axníngu so) Áxu E Qmuno VIII Kúno á VIII E Qmuno VII Kúno á VII E Qmuno VI Kúno á VI E Qmuno V Kúno á V E Qmuno IV Kúno á IV E Qmuno III Kúno á III Qmunemo Kúnemu Qmuno Kúnu * I don't have the numbers yet, I'm sorry There'll be more about this later! _________________ Fhtagn | Fhtagn | Fhtagn Back to top Shigeru Endi Joined: 09 Jul 2006 Location: Garland, Texas Posted: Sat Nov 04, 2006 12:57 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- simon.clarkstone wrote: This sounds like my kind of conworld!

In order, the months are: Oharel, Velókar, Adarel, Vaelar. After Vaelar, there is a seven-week "sub-month", which is used to honor the Seven Royal Lines (i.e. of the Kings of Ánovén). Every four years (leap year), an additional day was added before these seven weeks began, which honored the first (and only) High King of Ánovén (Etheôn, of which the Seven Royal Lines were the descendants of his seven sons) The Ánovénean New Year began on the 1st of Oharel, which corresponded approximately to June 21st (summer solstice). Each week consisted of seven days (the Wolven considered 7 to be the most sacred number), a tradition they brought with them to the Lands of Refuge (modern-day Europe and N.

Wow! Interesting calendar! Quote: Leap years happen whenever the spring equinox occurs after noon. How would they determine this? A sort of stonehenge-like thing? Would that work? The precise details of my conworld aren't decided on yet - its a planet around a real star in our galaxy [I had a few candidates a while ago but forgot what they were], so I don't know the precise length of the day year etc. But, the year length won't be too far off earth's, because in the story I have sketched out, it was chosen for it's earth-like ness. I also haven't got names for anything, unfortunately I'm having a bit of creative block in deciding how related my languages should be, and I can't get much further with them till that's resolved [have a look here if you'd liek to give me advice]. The calendar is pretty much applicable to any planet though. The year is defined in terms of the observable cycle of four key features: ["day" here means the time betweeen sunrise and sunset, not the rotational period] the first day which is longer than the previous day, the first day which is longer than it's night, the first day shorter than the previous day, and the first day shorter than the previous night. The year is split into 4 sections, each starting on one of those 4 key days. Each section is split up into 3 "months," giving the familiar twelve months of our calendar. But this is coincidence. The conrace involved have three fingers and a thumb, and as a result, tend to count in threes and twelves - their number systems are mostly base 12*. The lengths of the 3 months in each section are chosen such that they either (a) all have the same length, or (b) the first two have the same length, and the third is different. This means that at a maximum the last month can be 2 days different in length from the other two [better than our three day difference of 28 - 31]. The solstices and equinoxes always fall on the final day of each of the 4 sections. There are festivals on these days. The calendar doesn't require leap years as the start date of each section is determined by the solstices and equinoxes, so it can never drift as ours would without leap days. * They count to 12 on the fingers of one hand by extending their fingers as follows [they have little finger, middle finger and index finger, and thumb, abbreviated as L, M, I, T] 1: L 7: L T 2: L, M 8: L, M T 3: L, M, I 9: L, M, I, T 4: M, I 10: M, I T 5: I 11: I T 6: L, I 12: L I T _________________ In Osage, Linguoboy wrote: Tengado kitaake atxãhe "I'm about to fight Tengado". &#25152;&#26377;&#30475;&#19981;&#35211;&#30340;&#37117;&#22312;&#30524;&#21069; Back to top leonsherlock Mey Joined: 09 Oct 2006 Location: I exist independent of spacial boundaries Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2006 9:06 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes - Electric Kazoos Exist.

As of July 1 2006, a [[Census Bureau]] estimate puts the city's population at 518,956,<ref name=popest/> with a [[metropolitan area]] population at 946,362. In 2005, Tucson ranked as the [[List of United States cities by population|32<sup>nd</sup> largest]] city and [[List of United States metropolitan areas|52<sup>nd</sup> largest]] metropolitan area in the [[United States|U.S.]] It is the largest city in southern [[Arizona]] and the second largest in the state. Tucson is also the site of the [[University of Arizona]]. Major incorporated suburbs of Tucson include [[Oro Valley]] and [[Marana, Arizona|Marana]] northwest of the city, and [[South Tucson]] and [[Sahuarita, Arizona|Sahuarita]] south of the city. Communities in the vicinity of Tucson (some within or overlapping the city limits) include [[Casas Adobes, Arizona|Casas Adobes]], [[Catalina, Arizona|Catalina]], [[Catalina Foothills, Arizona|Catalina Foothills]], [[Flowing Wells, Arizona|Flowing Wells]], [[Green Valley, Arizona|Green Valley]], [[Tanque Verde, Arizona|Tanque Verde]], [[New Pascua]], and [[Vail, Arizona|Vail]]. The English name ''Tucson'' derives from the [[Spanish]] name of the city, ''Tucsón'' {{IPA|[tukˈson]}}, which was borrowed from the [[O'odham language|O'odham]] name {{Unicode|''Cuk Ṣon''}} ({{pronounced|ʧʊk ʂɔn}}, roughly "chook shown"), meaning "at the base of the black [hill]", a reference to an adjacent volcanic mountain. Tucson is sometimes referred to as "The Old Pueblo." ==History== [[Image:Tucson Stone Ave year 1880.jpg|thumb|left|<center>Tucson's Stone Avenue in 1880.</center>]] Tucson was probably first visited by [[Paleo-Indians]], known to have been in southern Arizona by about 12,000 years ago. Recent archaeological excavations near the [[Santa Cruz River]] have located a village site dating from 4,000 years ago. The floodplain of the Santa Cruz River was extensively farmed during the Early Agricultural period, circa 1200 BC to AD 150. These people constructed irrigation canals and grew corn, beans, and other crops while gathering wild plants and hunting animals. The Early Ceramic period occupation of Tucson saw the first extensive use of pottery vessels for cooking and storage. The groups designated by archaeologists as the [[Hohokam]] lived in the area from AD 600-1450 and are known for their red-on-brown pottery. [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] missionary [[Eusebio Francisco Kino]] visited the Santa Cruz River valley in 1692, and founded the [[Mission San Xavier del Bac]] about 7 miles (12 km) upstream from the site of the settlement of Tucson in 1700. The Spanish established a presidio (fort) on [[August 20]] 1775 and the town came to be called "Tucson." Tucson became a part of [[Mexico]] after Mexico gained independence from [[Spain]] in 1821. Following the [[Gadsden purchase]] in 1853, Tucson became a part of the [[United States of America]], although the American military did not formally take over control of the community until March 1856. From August 1861, until mid-1862, Tucson was the capital of the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] [[Arizona Territory (CSA)|Arizona Territory]]. Until 1863, Tucson and all of Arizona was part of [[New Mexico Territory]]. From 1867 to 1879, Tucson was the capital of [[Arizona Territory]]. The [[University of Arizona]], located in Tucson, was founded in 1885. By 1900, 7,531 people lived in the city. At about this time, the US [[Veterans Administration]] had begun construction on the present Veterans Hospital. Many veterans who had been [[chemical weapons|gassed]] in [[World War I]] and were in need of [[respiratory therapy]] began coming to Tucson after the war, due to the clean dry air. The population increased gradually to 13,913 in 1910, 20,292 in 1920, and 36,818 in 1940. In 2006 the population of [[Pima County, Arizona|Pima County]], in which Tucson is located, passed one million while the City of Tucson's population was 535,000. During the territorial and early statehood periods, Tucson was Arizona's largest city and commercial area, whereas Phoenix was the seat of state government and agriculture. The establishment of Tucson Municipal Airport increased its prominence. By the 1920s-30s, Phoenix outgrew Tucson and has continued to expand. Tucson has still been growing but at a slower pace. [[Image:Tucson old.jpg|thumb|700px|center|''Tucson, Arizona. 1909.'']] ==Geography and climate== ===Geography=== [[Image:TucsonAZ ISS009-E-10382.jpg|thumb|<center>Tucson, as seen from space.</center>]] According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the Tucson has a total area of 195.1&nbsp;[[square mile]]s (505.3&nbsp;[[km²]]), of which, 194.7&nbsp;square miles (504.2&nbsp;km²) of it is land and 0.4&nbsp;square miles (1.1&nbsp;km²) of it (0.22%) is water. The city's elevation is 2,389 ft (728 m) above sea level. Tucson is situated on an [[alluvial plain]] in the [[Sonoran desert]], surrounded by five minor ranges of mountains: the [[Santa Catalina Mountains]] and the [[Tortolita Mountains]] to the north, the [[Santa Rita Mountains]] to the south, the [[Rincon Mountains]] to the east, and the [[Tucson Mountains]] to the west. The high point of the Santa Catalina Mountains is 9,157-foot [[Mount Lemmon]], the southernmost ski destination in the continental U.S., while the Tucson Mountains include 4,687-foot Wasson Peak. [[Image:windy600.jpg|thumb|left|<center>A view of Tucson from Windy Point, at elevation 6,580 feet on [[Mount Lemmon|Mt. Lemmon]].</center>]] The city is located on the [[Santa Cruz River]], a dry river bed much of the year that floods during significant seasonal rains. (The Santa Cruz becomes a subterranean stream part of the year although it may appear dry.) Tucson is located along [[Interstate 10]], which runs through [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] toward [[Santa Monica, California]] in the northwest, and through [[El Paso, Texas]], and [[New Orleans, Louisiana]], toward [[Jacksonville, Florida]] in the east. [[Interstate 19|I-19]], runs south from Tucson toward [[Nogales, Arizona|Nogales]] and the [[U.S.-Mexico border]]. I-19 is the only Interstate highway that uses "[[kilometer]] posts" instead of "[[milepost]]s", although the speed limits are marked in miles per hour instead of kilometers per hour. ====Environmental sustainability==== Tucson is considered to be in a natural location for the development of a solar energy community, but the city has not yet undertaken this as a serious project. Perhaps the biggest sustainability problem is potable water supply. Household water use is the principal drain on the water supply, with agriculture a close second. In 1997, the 35 golf courses in the area consumed about 10% of the municipal water supply, and since then, 16 of the remaining 25 or so courses use reclaimed water. [[Image:Tucson golf reclaimed water.jpg|thumb|right|<center>This Tucson golf course uses reclaimed water.</center>]] As a result, residences consume the vast majority of municipal water. Like golf courses, agricultural lands are turning toward reclaimed water. Mining and other industrial water uses combined accounted for about a 15% of water use in 1997.<ref>[http://ag.arizona.edu/AZWATER/publications/sustainability/report_html/chap5_01.html University of Arizona water sustainability report]</ref> Although Tucsonans find lawns and swimming pools less acceptable than their neighbors in Phoenix{{Fact|date=May 2007}}, massive drawing down of groundwater resources over the last 100 years has occurred, visible as ground [[subsidence]] in some residential areas. Tucson's reliance on the [[Central Arizona Project Aqueduct]], which passes more than 300 miles (480 km) across the desert from the [[Colorado River]], casts doubt over "sustainability" claims even at current population levels. This points to the need for further efforts at re-use and recycling, prompted by Pima County and the city in numerous outreach campaigns, and halt to urban growth into the fragile ecosystems of the surrounding Sonoran Desert. ====Water==== [[Image:Tucson Santa Cruz River Flood.jpg|thumb|left|<center>The Santa Cruz River during the flood of 1983.</center>]]More than 100 years ago, the Santa Cruz River flowed nearly year-round through Tucson. This supply of water has slowly disappeared, causing Tucson to seek alternative sources. From 1803 until 1887, Tucson residents purchased water for a penny a gallon from vendors who transported it in bags draped over burros' backs. After that, water was sold by the bucket or barrel and delivered door-to-door in wagons.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} In 1881, water was pumped from a well on the banks of the Santa Cruz River and flowed by gravity through pipes into the distribution system. Tucson currently draws water from two main sources: [[Central Arizona Project]] (CAP) water and [[groundwater]]. In 1992, Tucson Water delivered CAP water to some customers that was referred to as being unacceptable due to discoloration, bad odor and flavor, as well as problems it caused some customers' plumbing and appliances. Tucson's city water currently consists of CAP water mixed with groundwater. In an effort to conserve water, Tucson is recharging groundwater supplies by running part of its share of CAP water into various open portions of local rivers to seep into their aquifer[http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/water/heritage.htm]. Additional study is scheduled to determine the amount of water that is lost through evaporation from the open areas, especially during the summer. ====Cityscape==== [[Image:TucsonMap.png|thumb|right|<center>Tucson map</center>]] Similar to many other [[Western U.S.]] cities, Tucson was developed on a [[grid plan]], with the city center at Stone Avenue and Broadway Boulevard. While this intersection was initially near the [[geographic center]] of Tucson, that center has shifted as the city has expanded far to the east. An expansive city covering substantial area, Tucson has many distinct neighborhoods. ====Earliest neighborhoods==== [[Image:Tuscon 19thCentury Adobe.jpg|thumb|left|<center>A 19th century adobe house in the Amory Park neighborhood.</center>]]Tucson's early neighborhoods (some of which are covered by the [[Tucson Convention Center]]) include El Presidio; Barrio Histórico; Armory Park, directly south of downtown; Barrio Anita, named for an early settler; Barrio Tiburón (in the present Fourth Avenue arts district), designated in territorial times as a "red light" district; El Jardín, named for an early recreational site, Levin's Gardens; and El Hoyo, named for a lake that was part of the gardens. Up until the building of the Tucson Convention Center (or TCC), El Hoyo (Spanish for pit or hole) referred to this part of the city, which was inhabited mainly by Mexican-American citizens and immigrants from Mexico. Other historical neighborhoods include the University neighborhood west of the University of Arizona, Iron Horse and Pie Allen neighborhoods just east of downtown, Sam Hughes neighborhood (named after an instigator/hero of the [[Camp Grant Massacre]]), located east of the University of Arizona, and Menlo Park, situated adjacent to [[Sentinel Peak (Arizona)|Sentinel Peak]]. ====Downtown==== Downtown Tucson is undergoing a revitalization effort by city planners and the business community. The primary project is Rio Nuevo, a large retail and community center that has been in planning for more than ten years. Downtown is generally classified as north of 12th Street, east of [[Interstate 10 in Arizona|I-10]], and southwest of Toole Avenue and the Union Pacific (formerly Southern Pacific) railroad tracks, site of the [http://www.tucsonhistoricdepot.org/1673/timeline/index.htm historic train depot] and "Locomotive #1673", built in 1900. Downtown is divided into the Presidio District, Convention District, and the Congress Street Arts and Entertainment District. [[Image:Tucson Unisource Energy Building.jpg|thumb|<center>[[UniSource Energy Tower]], which is currently the tallest building in Tucson.</center>]][[Image:Pima County Courthouse.jpg|thumb|left|<center>Pima County Courthouse</center>]]Tucson's tallest building, the 23-story [[UniSource Energy Tower]] (also called the Bank Building) is situated downtown and was completed in 1986. The proposed Century Tower for downtown would surpass the Bank Building at 27 stories. Other high-rise buildings downtown include [[Bank of America|Bank of America Plaza]], and the Pioneer (completed in 1914). Attractions downtown include the historic [[Hotel Congress]] designed in 1919, the [[Art Deco]] [[Fox Theatre (Tucson)|Fox Theatre]] designed in 1929, the [[Rialto Theatre (Arizona)|Rialto Theatre]] opened in 1920, and [[Augustine of Hippo|St. Augustine Cathedral]] completed in 1896.<ref>[http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/?id=102386 Tucson Buildings, Real Estate, Architecture, Skyscrapers and Construction Database<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Included on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] is the old Pima County Courthouse, designed by Roy W. Place in 1928.<ref>[http://www.azhistorytraveler.org/templates/content-view.php?nid=2&sid=546 Arizona Heritage Traveler - Public Buildings - Pima County Courthouse<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ====Central or Midtown==== As one of the oldest parts of town, Central Tucson is anchored by the Broadway Village shopping center designed by local architect Josias Joesler at the intersection of Broadway Boulevard and Country Club Road. The [[University of Arizona]], chartered in 1885, is located in midtown and includes [[Arizona Stadium]] and [[McKale Center]]. Historic Tucson High School (designed in 1924), the Arizona Inn (built in 1930), and the Tucson Botanic Gardens are also located in Central Tucson. [[Image:Tuscon UniversityofArizona.jpg|thumb|left|<center>Old Main, University of Arizona.</center>]] Tucson's largest park, Reid Park is located in midtown and includes [[Reid Park Zoo]] and [[Hi Corbett Field]]. Local retail business in Central Tucson is densely concentrated along Fourth Avenue and the Main Gate Square on University Boulevard near the UA campus. The [[El Con Mall]] is also located in the eastern part of midtown. Speedway Boulevard, a major east-west arterial road in central Tucson, was named the "ugliest street in America" by ''[[Life Magazine]]'' in the early 1970s, quoting Tucson Mayor [[Jim Corbett (politician)|James Corbett]]. Despite this, Speedway Boulevard was awarded "Street of the Year" by ''[[Arizona Highways]]'' in the late 1990s. ====South side and South Tucson==== [[Image:TUS Terminal Front.jpg|thumb|right|<center>[[Tucson International Airport]] when it was under renovation.</center>]] The Southside contains the city of [[South Tucson, Arizona|South Tucson]], with an area of approximately 1¼ square miles (3¼ square kilometers), which is completely surrounded by the city of Tucson. The South side is generally considered to be the area of approximately 25 square miles (65 square kilometers) north of Los Reales Road, south of 22nd Street, east of [[I-19]], west of Davis Monthan Air Force Base and southwest of Aviation Parkway. Much of Tucson's Mexican-American population live on the south side and South 12th Avenue is considered as the cultural locus of the working class Mexican-American population. The [[Tucson International Airport]] and [[Tucson Electric Park]] are also located here. ====West Tucson==== West Tucson is a combination of [[urban area|urban]] and [[suburban]] development. Generally defined as the area west of [[Interstate 10 in Arizona|I-10]], West Tucson encompasses the banks of the [[Santa Cruz River]] and the foothills of the [[Tucson Mountains]]. Attractions in West Tucson include [[Saguaro National Park|Saguaro National Park West]], [[Sentinel Peak (Arizona)|Sentinel Peak]], the [[Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum]], [[Old Tucson Studios]], and the [[JW Marriott Hotels|Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa]]. [[Image:MountainLion.jpg|thumb|left|<center>A mountain lion at the [[Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum]].</center>]] [[Image:Panorama-nw.jpg|thumb|400px|Panorama of western suburbs]] On Sentinel Peak (also known as "'A' Mountain"), just west of downtown, there is a giant "A" in honor of the [[University of Arizona]]. Starting in about 1910, a yearly tradition developed for freshmen to whitewash the "A", which was visible for miles. However, at the beginning of the [[Iraq War]], anti-war activists painted it black. This was followed by a paint scuffle where the "A" was painted various colors until the city council intervened. It is now red, white and blue except when it is white or another color decided by a biennial election. Because of the three-color paint scheme often used, the shape of the A can be vague and indistinguishable from the rest of the peak. The top of Sentinel Peak, which is accessible by road, offers an outstanding scenic view of the city looking eastward. A parking lot located near the summit of Sentinel Peak was formerly a popular place to watch sunsets, view the city lights at night, or engage in [[necking]]. This is no longer possible as a recent ordinance has forced the closing of Sentinel Peak at 8 p.m. Every evening, Tucson police set up a barricade blocking the entrance while they enforce the evacuation of all visitors off the mountain{{Fact|date=May 2007}}. ====North Tucson==== North Tucson includes the urban neighborhoods of Amphitheater and [[Flowing Wells, Arizona|Flowing Wells]]. Usually considered the area north of Fort Lowell Road, north Tucson includes some of Tucson's primary [[commerce|commercial]] zones ([[Tucson Mall]] and the Oracle Road Corridor). Many of the city's most upscale [[boutiques]], [[restaurants]], and [[art galleries]] are also located on the north side including St. Philip's Plaza. The Plaza is directly adjacent to the historic St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church (built in 1936). [[Image:La Paloma Tucson.jpg|thumb|<center>Westin La Paloma Resort in north Tucson.</center>]] Also on the north side is the suburban community of [[Catalina Foothills, Arizona|Catalina Foothills]], located in the foothills of the [[Santa Catalina Mountains]] just north of the city limits. This community includes among the area's most expensive homes, commonly multi-million dollar estates. The Foothills area is generally defined as north of River Road, east of Oracle Road, and west of [[Sabino Canyon|Sabino Creek]]. Some of the Tucson area's major resorts are located in the Catalina Foothills, including the Hacienda Del Sol, [[Westin Hotels|Westin La Paloma Resort]], [[Loews Hotels|Loews Ventana Canyon Resort]] and [[Canyon Ranch|Canyon Ranch Resort]]. [[La Encantada (shopping mall)|La Encantada]], an upscale outdoor [[shopping mall]], is also in the Foothills. The foothills area is home to Tohono Chul Park (a botanical garden) near the intersection of Oracle Road and Ina. Also the DeGrazia Gallery of the Sun near the intersection of Swan Road and Skyline Drive. Built by artist [[Ettore DeGrazia|Ted DeGrazia]] starting in 1951, the 10 acre property is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] and features an eclectic chapel, an art gallery and a free museum. ====East Tucson==== East Tucson is relatively new compared to other parts of the city, developed between the 1950s and the 1970s, such as [[Desert Palms Park, Tucson|Desert Palms Park]]. It is generally classified as the area of the city east of Swan Road, with above-average real estate values relative to the rest of the city. The area includes urban and suburban development near the [[Rincon Mountains]]. East Tucson includes [[Saguaro National Park|Saguaro National Park East]]. Tucson's "Restaurant Row" is also located on the east side, along with a significant [[corporate]] and [[financial]] presence. Tucson's largest office building is 5151 East Broadway in east Tucson, completed in 1975. [[Park Place (Tucson, Arizona)|Park Place]], a recently renovated shopping center, is also located there. Near the intersection of Craycroft and Ft. Lowell Road are the remnants of the Historic Fort Lowell. This area has become one of Tucson’s iconic neighborhoods. The Fort abandoned at the end of the 1800s was rediscovered by a trio of artist in the 1930s. The Bolsius family purchased and renovated surviving adobe buildings of the fort - transforming them into spectacular artistic southwestern architectural examples. Their woodwork, plaster treatment and sense of proportion drawn on their Dutch heritage and New Mexican experience. Other artists and academics throughout the middle of the 20th century renovated, built and lived in the area. This rural pocket in the middle of the city is listed on the National register of Historic Places. Each year in February the neighborhood celebrates its history in the City Landmark it owns and restored the San Pedro Chapel. [[Image:DMAFB planes.jpg|thumb|left|<center>Planes at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.</center>]] Situated between the [[Santa Catalina Mountains]] and the [[Rincon Mountains]] near [[Redington Pass]] northeast of the city limits is the community of [[Tanque Verde, Arizona|Tanque Verde]]. The Arizona National Golf Club, Forty-Niners Country Club, and the historic Tanque Verde Guest Ranch are also in northeast Tucson. ====Southeast Tucson==== Southeast Tucson continues to experience rapid residential development. The area includes the [[Davis-Monthan Air Force Base]]. The area is considered to be south of Golf Links Road. The suburban community of Rita Ranch houses many of the military families from [[Davis-Monthan Air Force Base]]. ====Northwest Tucson==== [[Image:Continental Ranch.jpg|thumb|right|<center>The northwest side of Tucson is newer and more modern than other parts.</center>]] The expansive area northwest of the city limits is diverse, ranging from the [[rural]] communities of [[Catalina, Arizona|Catalina]] and parts of the town of [[Marana, Arizona|Marana]], to the [[affluent]] town of [[Oro Valley, Arizona|Oro Valley]] in the western foothills of the [[Santa Catalina Mountains]], and residential areas in the northeastern foothills of the [[Tucson Mountains]]. The community of [[Casas Adobes, Arizona|Casas Adobes]] is also on the Northwest Side, with the distinction of being Tucson's first suburb, established in the late 1940s. Casas Adobes is centered around the historic Casas Adobes Plaza (built in 1948). The [[Foothills Mall]] is also located on the northwest side. Continental Ranch(Marana), Dove Mountain(Marana), and Rancho Vistoso(Oro Valley) are all masterplanned communities located in the northwest, where thousands of residents live. Many of the Tucson area's golf courses and resorts are located in this area, including the [[Hilton Hotels|Hilton El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort]] in Oro Valley, the [[Omni Hotels|Omni Tucson National Resort & Spa]], and Westward Look Resort. [[Catalina State Park]] and [[Tortolita Mountains|Tortolita Mountain Park]] are also here. ===Climate=== [[Image:Wasson.jpg|thumb|left|<center>Snow on Wasson Peak.</center>]] Tucson has two major seasons, summer and winter; plus three minor seasons: fall, spring, and the [[monsoon]]. [[Summer]] is characterized by low humidity, clear skies, and daytime high temperatures that exceed 100 degrees [[Fahrenheit]]. The average overnight temperature ranges between 68 °F (20 °C) and 85 °F (29 °C). [[Image:Tucsonmonsoon.jpg|thumb|<center>Monsoon clouds blanket the Catalina Mountains in August 2005.</center>]]The [[monsoon]] can begin any time from mid-June to late July, with an average start date around [[July 3]]. It typically continues through August and sometimes into September.<ref name="NWS monsoon">[http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/twc/monsoon/monsoon.php NWS Tucson Office Monsoon tracker]</ref> During the monsoon, the [[relative humidity|humidity]] is much higher than the rest of the year. It begins with clouds building up from the south in the early afternoon followed by intense thunderstorms and rainfall, which can cause [[flash floods]]. The evening sky at this time of year is often pierced with dramatic lightning strikes. Large areas of the city do not have [[storm sewer]]s, so monsoon rains flood the main thoroughfares, usually for no longer than a few hours. A few underpasses in Tucson have "feet of water" scales painted on their supports to discourage fording by automobiles during a rainstorm.<ref>Two underpasses leading towards downtown Tucson from the north, at Sixth Avenue and Stone Avenue, have such "feet of water" scales.</ref> Arizona traffic code Title 28-910, the so-called "Stupid Motorist Law," was instituted in 1995 to discourage people from entering flooded roadways. If the road is flooded and a barricade is in place, motorists who drive around the barricade can be charged up to $2000 for costs involved in rescuing them.{{Fact|date=May 2008}} [[Autumn|Fall]] lasts from late October to November or December. It is much like summer, and similarly dry, with days above 100 degrees typical into early October. Average daytime highs of 84 °F (28 °C), with overnight lows of 55 °F (13 °C), constitute typical fall weather. [[Winter]]s in Tucson are mild relative to other parts of the [[United States]]. Daytime highs in the winter range between 64 °F and 75 °F (18−23 °C) , with overnight lows between 30 °F and 44 °F (-1 –7 °C). Although rare, snow has been known to fall in Tucson, usually a light dusting that melts within a day. [[Spring (season)|Spring]] begins in late February or March, and is characterized by rising temperatures and several weeks of vivid wildflower blooms. Daytime average highs range from 72 °F (23 °C) in March to 88 °F (31 °C) in May with average overnight lows in March of 45 °F (7 °C) and in May of 59 °F (15 °C). {| class="wikitable" ! style="background: #FFFFFF; color: #000080" height="17" | Month !

The [[population density]] was 965.3/sq&nbsp;mi (2,500.1/km²). There were 209,609 housing units at an average density of 415.7/sq&nbsp;mi (1,076.7/km²). The [[Race (United States Census)|racial]] makeup of the city is 70.15% white, 4.33% black or African-American, 2.27% Native American, 2.46% Asian, 0.16% Pacific Islander, 16.85% from other races, and 3.79% from two or more races. 35.72% of the population were Hispanic of any race. '''</font> The Native American inhabitants in the area include primarily [[Tohono O'odham]] (formerly called the [[Papago]]), living in the city, on the nearby San Xavier reservation, and in the [[Tohono O'odham]] Nation, who may be descendants of the prehistoric inhabitants, as well as 6,800 [[Yaqui]] (the Yoeme), living in the city (largely in New Pascua, Old Pascua, and the Barrio Libre neighborhoods), and in the Yoeme community in the town of [[Marana, Arizona|Marana]]. There were 192,891 households out of which 29.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 39.7% were [[Marriage|married couples]] living together, 13.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 41.7% were non-families. 32.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.42 and the average family size was 3.12. In the inner-city, the population has 24.6% under the age of 18, 13.8% from 18 to 24, 30.5% from 25 to 44, 19.2% from 45 to 64, and 11.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 32 years. For every 100 females there were 96.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 93.3 males. The median income for a household in the city was $30,981, and the median income for a family was $37,344. Males had a median income of $28,548 versus $23,086 for females. The [[per capita income]] for the city was $16,322. About 13.7% of families and 18.4% of the population were below the [[poverty line]], including 23.6% of those under age 18 and 11.0% of those age 65 or over. Although the median income is relatively low and the city has a higher-than-average poverty rate, note that these statistics include a contingent of [[college student]]s and others at the [[University of Arizona]], who tend to have low median incomes despite having a medium [[quality of life]]. ==Politics== [[Pima County]] supported [[John Kerry]] 53% to 47% in the [[2004 U.S. Presidential Election]]. <sup>[http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004//pages/results/states/AZ/P/00/county.000.html]</sup> As a general rule, Tucson and Pima County vote Democratic, as opposed to the overwhelming GOP support in the state's largest city, Phoenix. This led to the alleged [[gerrymander]]ing of Tucson into two Federal Congressional districts, one that contains a vast majority of Democratic voters and the other that contains a bare majority of Republicans. ==Economy== Much of Tucson's economic development has been centered around the development of the [[University of Arizona]], which is currently the second largest employer in the city. [[Davis-Monthan Air Force Base]], located on the southeastern edge of the city, also provides many jobs for Tucson residents. Its presence, as well as the presence of a US Army Intelligence Center (Fort Huachuca, the largest employer in the region in nearby Sierra Vista), has led to the development of a significant number of high-tech industries, including government contractors, in the area. Today, there are more than 1,200 businesses employing over 50,000 people in the high-tech industries of Southern Arizona. The City of Tucson, Pima County, the State of Arizona and the private sector have all made commitments to create a growing, healthy economy with high-tech industries as its foundation. Advanced technology companies like [[Raytheon]] Missile Systems, [[Texas Instruments]], [[IBM]], [[Intuit Inc.]], [[Universal Avionics]], Misys Healthcare Systems, [[Sanofi-Aventis]], Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., and [[Bombardier]] all have a significant presence in Tucson. Roughly 150 Tucson companies are in the optics industry, earning Tucson the nickname "Optics Valley".[http://www.azstarnet.com/neweconomy/optics.html] Tourism is another major industry in Tucson, which has many resorts, hotels, and attractions. A significant economic force is middle-class and upper-class [[Sonora]]ns, who travel from [[Mexico]] to Tucson to purchase goods that are not readily available in their country. In addition to vacationers, a significant number of winter residents, or "[[Snowbird (people)|snowbirds]]", are attracted by Tucson's mild winters and contribute to the local economy. Snowbirds often purchase [[second home]]s in Tucson and nearby areas, contributing significantly to the property tax base. Other snowbirds and "[[perpetual traveler]]s" can be seen in large numbers arriving in autumn in large [[Recreational vehicle|RVs]] towing small cars. ==Arts and culture== ===Annual cultural events and fairs=== ====Tucson Gem and Mineral Show==== The [[Tucson Gem & Mineral Show]] is held every year in February for two weeks. It is one of the largest [[Gemstone|gem]] and [[mineral]] shows in the world, and features many of the finest mineral specimens. There is no single location for display of minerals, but rather dozens of locations spread across town. The show has an estimated attendance of more than 50,000 people from over twenty countries. Attendees frequently include the general public, experts, beginning collectors, museum employees, dealers, retailers, and researchers. Many museums and universities, including the [[Smithsonian Institution]] and the [[University of Paris|Sorbonne]], have displayed materials at the show. ====Tucson Folk Festival==== For the past 21 years the Tucson Folk Festival has taken place the first Saturday and Sunday of May in downtown Tucson's El Presidio Park. In addition to nationally known headline acts each evening, the Festival highlights over 100 local and regional musicians on five stages in one of the largest free festivals in the country. All stages are within easy walking distance. Organized by the [http://www.tkma.org Tucson Kitchen Musicians Association], volunteers make this festival possible. Arizona's only community radio station [[KXCI]] 91.3-FM, is a major partner, broadcasting from the Plaza Stage throughout the weekend. In addition, there are numerous workshops, events for children, sing-alongs, and a popular singer/songwriter contest. Musicians typically play 30-minute sets, supported by professional audio staff volunteers. A variety of food and crafts are available at the festival, as well as local micro-brews. All proceeds from sales go to fund future festivals. ====Fourth Avenue Street Fair==== There are two Fourth Avenue Street Fairs, in December and March, staged between 9th Street and University Boulevard, that feature arts and crafts booths, food vendors and street performers. The fairs began in 1970 when Fourth Avenue, which at the time had half a dozen thrift shops, several New Age bookshops and the Food Conspiracy Co-Op, was a gathering place for hippies, and a few merchants put tables in front of their stores to attract customers before the holidays. These days the street fair has grown into a large corporate event, with most tables owned by outside merchants. It hosts mostly traveling craftsmen selling various arts such as pottery, paintings, wood working, metal decorations, candles, and many others. ====The Tucson Rodeo (Fiesta de los Vaqueros)==== [[Image:TeamRopingTucson.jpg|thumb|right|<center>Team roping competition at<br>Tucson's ''Fiesta de los Vaqueros''.</center>]] Another popular event held in February, which is early spring in Tucson, is the Fiesta de los Vaqueros, or [[rodeo]] week. While at its heart the Fiesta is a sporting event, it includes what is billed as the world's largest non-mechanized parade{{Fact|date=May 2007}}. The Rodeo Parade is a popular event as most schools give two rodeo days off instead of Presidents Day. The exception to this is Presidio High, which doesn't get either. Western wear is seen throughout the city as corporate dress codes are cast aside during the Fiesta. The Fiesta de los Vaqueros marks the beginning of the rodeo season in the United States. Fiesta de los Vaqueros, the premier event of the rodeo year, is held at the beginning of the rodeo season. Go to websites tucsonrodeo.com tucsonrodeoparade.com ====Tucson Meet Yourself==== Every October for the past 30 years, [http://www.tucsonmeetyourself.org/ Tucson Meet Yourself] has presented the faces of Tucson's many ethnic groups. For one weekend, dancing, singing, artwork, and food from more than 30 different ethnicities are featured in the downtown area. All performers are from Tucson and the surrounding area, in keeping with the idea of "meeting yourself." ====All Souls Procession Weekend==== One of the largest festivals celebrated is the All Souls Procession (www.AllSoulsProcession.org), held since 1990 on the first Sunday in November. Modeled on the Mexican holiday [[Day of the Dead|Dia de los Muertos]] (Day of the Dead), it combines elements of African, Anglo, Celtic, and Latin American culture. At sundown, thousands of people garbed in myriad costumes, mostly of the deceased, gather near the corner of Fourth Avenue and University Boulevard: Epic Cafe. In 2005, the Tucson Police Department estimated that 7,500 people participated in this event. The non-profit festal culture organization Many Mouths One Stomach (www.ManyMouths.org) organizes this event to acknowledge, mourn and celebrate deceased loved ones, and the "grand mystery" of death. Starting in 2006, the All Souls Procession became a 4-day long series of events. On Thursday evening the Fine Art Photography Exhibition opens, as well as the Evolving Community Altar. Friday evening is the MMOS Fundraiser ''Dance of the Dead''. Saturday afternoon and evening is the Procession of Little Angels, and the Personal Altars Vigil. Sunday evening is the All Souls Procession, which snakes through the historic Fourth Avenue and downtown areas, and leads to the culmination of the entire festival: The Grand Finale. ===Museums, art collections, and other attractions=== The [[Arizona Historical Society]], founded as the Pioneer Historical Society by early settlers, has a collection of artifacts reflecting the city's history--many focusing on the era before statehood was attained in 1912--as well as a fine collection of original documents in its library, including many interviews with early residents.

Additionally, many bands perform at the numerous local clubs. ===Automotive=== Due to its location in the Sunbelt and subsequently little oxidation and the availability of older vehicles that require little restoration, Tucson, like Phoenix has a prolific tuning and hot-rod following. The Speedway Boulevard is often packed with tuners and hot-rodders on Saturday nights, showing off and discussing modifications. {{Fact|date=September 2007}} ===Music=== Musical groups include the [[Tucson Symphony Orchestra]], founded in 1929, the Arizona Opera Company, founded as the Tucson Opera Company in 1971, the [[Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus]], founded in 1939, Tucson Girls Chorus, Catalina Chamber Orchestra, Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra and Civic Orchestra of Tucson.

The first organized [[quarter horse]] races were run in Tucson in the 1930s at the Rillito Downs, where they are still run today. ==Parks and recreation== [[Image:SaguaroNationalPark Arizona.jpg|thumb|<center>[[Saguaro National Park]] is near Tucson.</center>]] The city is home to more than 120 parks, including [[Reid Park Zoo]]. There are five public golf courses located throughout the area. Several scenic parks and points of interest are also located nearby, including the [[Tucson Botanical Gardens]], [[Saguaro National Park]], [[Sabino Canyon]], and [[Biosphere 2]] (just north of the city, in the town of [[Oracle, Arizona|Oracle]]). [[Mt. Lemmon]], 25 miles north (by road) and over 6,700 feet above Tucson, is located in the [[Coronado National Forest]]. Outdoor activities in the summer include hiking, birding, rock climbing, picnicking, camping, sky rides at Ski Valley, fishing and touring. In the winter, skiing and/or sledding is sometimes available at the southernmost ski resort in the continental U.S. [[Summerhaven, Arizona|Summerhaven]], a community near the top of Mt. Lemmon, is also a popular destination. Tucson is a popular winter haven for cyclists, and is one of only eight cities in the U.S. to receive a gold rating or higher for cycling friendliness from the [[League of American Bicyclists]]. Both road and mountain biking are popular in and around Tucson with popular trail areas including Starr Pass and Fantasy Island. Maps can be found online for both road and mountain bikers. Tucson is the home to the Tour de Tucson, a famous cycling event held annually in November.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dot.ci.tucson.az.us/bicycle |title=Tucson Bicycle & Pedestrian Program |publisher=City of Tucson Department of Transportation |year=2006 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://tucsonbiketrails.wikispaces.com |title=Tucson Mountain Biking Trails |publisher=Tucson Mountain Biking Trails Wiki }}</ref> The University of Arizona Wildcat's swim teams, both men and women, recently won the NCAA national championships. The University of Arizona has an internationally recognized swim team, with swimmers coming from places like Japan and Africa to swim. ==Media== There are two major daily [[newspaper]]s in Tucson; the ''[[Arizona Daily Star]]'' (morning), and the ''[[Tucson Citizen]]'' (afternoon). The ''Citizen'' is the oldest continuously published newspaper in [[Arizona]], established in [[1870]]. There are also several free, weekly newspapers, including the ''[[Explorer (newspaper)|Explorer]]'' and the ''[[Tucson Weekly]]'' (an alternative publication). The ''Downtown Tucsonan'', ''Tucson Lifestyle Magazine'', "Lovin' Life News," and the ''DesertLeaf'' are monthly publications covering arts, architecture, decor, fashion, entertainment, business, history, and other events. The ''[[Arizona Daily Wildcat]]'' is the [[University of Arizona]]'s [[student newspaper]], and the Aztec News is the Pima Community College [[student newspaper]]. The Tucson metro area is served by many local television stations and is the 70th largest [[media market|designated market area]] (DMA) in the U.S. with 433,310 homes (0.39% of the total U.S.).<ref name="nielsen">Holmes, Gary.

[[KUAT]] 6 is a [[Public Broadcasting System|PBS]] affiliate run by the University of Arizona (as is sister station KUAS 27). :''See also: [[List of radio stations in Arizona#Tucson|List of Radio Stations in Arizona (Tucson)]]'' ==Government== Tucson follows the "weak mayor" model of the [[council-manager government|council-manager]] form of local government. The 6-member city council holds exclusive legislative authority, and shares executive authority with the mayor, who is elected by the voters independently of the council. An appointed city manager, meanwhile, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the city. Both the council members and the mayor serve 4-year terms, and none face term limits. Council members are nominated by their wards via a ward-level primary held in September. The top vote-earners from each party then compete at-large for their ward's seat on the November ballot. In other words, come [[election day]], the whole city votes on all the council races up for that year. Council elections are severed: Wards 1, 2, and 4 (as well as the mayor) are up for election in the same year (most recently 2007), while Wards 3, 5, and 6 share another year (most recently 2005). Tucson is known for being a trailblazer in voluntary partial [[campaign finance|publicly-financed campaigns]]. Since 1985, both mayoral and council candidates have been eligible to receive matching public funds from the city. To become eligible, council candidates must receive 200 donations of $10 or more (300 for a mayoral candidate). Candidates must then agree to spending limits equal to $.33 for every registered Tucson voter, or $79,222 in 2005 (the corresponding figures for mayor are $.64 per registered voter, or $142,271 in 2003). In return, candidates receive matching funds from the city at a 1:1 ratio of public money to private donations. The only other limitation is that candidates may not exceed 75% of the limit by the date of the primary. Many cities, such as [[San Francisco]] and [[New York City]], have copied this system, albeit with more complex spending and matching formulas. Robert E. Walkup (R) was elected to Mayor on [[November 2]] [[1999]], re-elected for a second term on [[November 4]] [[2003]] and again for a third term on [[November 6]] [[2007]].<ref>[http://www.tucsonaz.gov/mayor.html Mayor Profile<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> He was preceded by: George Miller (D), 1991-1999; Tom Volgy (D), 1987-1991; Lew(is) Murphy (R), 1971-1987; and Jim Corbett (D), ?-1971. Tucson is divided between the 7th and 8th congressional districts of Arizona. The city center is in the 7th District, represented by [[Raul Grijalva]], a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], since 2003, while the more affluent residential areas to the north and east are in the 8th District, represented by [[Gabrielle Giffords]], also a Democrat, since 2007. ==Education== ====Post-secondary education==== *[[University of Arizona]]: established in 1885; the second largest university in the state in terms of enrollment with over 37,000 students. *[[Pima Community College]]: located in the Tucson area with six campuses. *[[University of Phoenix]] has four Tucson campuses. *[[Prescott College]] has a Tucson branch campus. *[[Northern Arizona University]] has a Tucson branch campus. ===Primary and secondary public education=== Primarily, students of Tucson residents attend public schools in the [[Tucson Unified School District]] (TUSD). TUSD encompasses the central Tucson valley, including the lower [[Catalina Foothills, Arizona|Catalina Foothills]] and segments of the [[Tanque Verde, Arizona|Tanque Verde Valley]]. There are, additionally, a large number of publicly funded charter schools available, many of which have a specialized curriculum. Other school districts in the Tucson metropolitan area include: * Altar Valley School District: located southwest of the city, primarily serving [[Three Points, Arizona|Three Points]]. * [[Amphitheater Public Schools]]: serves segments of the North Side, [[Casas Adobes, Arizona|Casas Adobes]], [[Catalina Foothills, Arizona|Catalina Foothills]], and the communities of [[Oro Valley, Arizona|Oro Valley]], eastern [[Tortolita, Arizona|Tortolita]] and [[Catalina, Arizona|Catalina]] northwest of the city. * Catalina Foothills Unified School District: serves the upper [[Catalina Foothills, Arizona|Catalina Foothills]] north of the city. * Continental School District: serves the rural area south of [[Sahuarita, Arizona|Sahuarita]]. * Flowing Wells Unified School District: serves segments of the North Side and the Northwest Side along [[Interstate 10 in Arizona|I-10]]. * [[Marana Unified School District]]: serves the town of [[Marana, Arizona|Marana]], [[Picture Rocks, Arizona|Picture Rocks]], [[Avra Valley, Arizona|Avra Valley]] and western [[Tortolita, Arizona|Tortolita]] northwest of the city. * Sahuarita Unified School District: located south of the city and serves [[Sahuarita, Arizona|Sahuarita]] and [[Arivaca, Arizona|Arivaca]]. * [[Sunnyside Unified School District]]: serves the far South Side and segments of the Southwest Side. * Tanque Verde Unified School District: serves the far Northeast Side, including the community of [[Tanque Verde, Arizona|Tanque Verde]]. * Vail School District: serves the far Southeast Side, including the community of [[Vail, Arizona|Vail]]. ==Transportation== *[[Tucson International Airport]] {{airport codes|TUS|KTUS}} is Tucson's public [[airport]] and is located six miles (10 [[Kilometre|km]]) south of Tucson's [[central business district]]. TIA is the second largest commercial airport in Arizona, providing nonstop flights to 27 destinations throughout the [[United States of America|United States]], and 1 destination in [[Mexico]]. Overall, Tucson International Airport serves 28 destinations. *Interstates [[Interstate 10 in Arizona|10]] and [[Interstate 19|19]] are currently the only two freeways in the metropolitan area. Tucson does not have a large freeway system such as [[Phoenix Freeways|Phoenix's]]. *[[Sun Tran]] is Tucson's public bus system. It was awarded [[American Public Transportation Association|Best Transit System]] in 1988 & 2005 and serves the major part of the metropolis of Tucson. The city remains largely dependent on automobiles for transportation. *[[Amtrak]], the national passenger rail system, provides service to [[Tucson (Amtrak station)|Tucson]] three times weekly in both directions, operating its [[Sunset Limited]] between [[Orlando, Florida]] and [[Los Angeles, California]]. *[[Old Pueblo Trolley]] operates weekend heritage streetcar service between the Fourth Avenue Business District and the [[University of Arizona]]. There are plans to extend it downtown, but no funds are currently allocated *[[Cyclists]] are common in Tucson due to compatible climate, extensive commuter bike routes, off-road mountain biking trails, and bike facilities throughout the city. The Tucson-Pima County Bicycle Advisory Committee (TPCBAC) was established to serve in an advisory capacity to local governments on issues relating to bicycle recreation, transportation, and safety. Tucson was given a gold rating for bicycle friendliness by the League of American Bicyclists<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bikeleague.org/media/press/042406_press.php |title=League Names New Bicycle Friendly Communities |accessdate=2007-07-17 |date=[[2006-04-24]]}}</ref> in late April, 2006. ==In popular culture== * Many major [[motion pictures]] have been filmed in the Tucson area.

Many of the buildings are easily recognizable, as well as footage of the old Speedway exit of I-10.{{Fact|date=May 2008}} == Local place names == * Speedway Boulevard was the northern city limit of Tucson in the late 1800s. It was so named because of horse and buggy "[[drag race]]s" that would take place Saturdays along its straight length of a half mile.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} Street numbering starts one block south of Speedway and increases southward at intervals of one-eighth, one-tenth, or one-twelfth of a mile, depending on the historic density of the areas. The highest street number is 48<sup>th</sup> Street. Avenue numbers begin one block west of Euclid Avenue (the edge of the old university quarter) and increase westward, ending before the Santa Cruz River. The highest avenue number is 17<sup>th</sup> Avenue. House and building numbering is based from a [[zero point]] at the junction of Stone Avenue and Congress Street and is incremented by 100 every one-eighth, one-tenth, or one-twelfth of a mile, again depending on the historic density of the areas. * Drexel Road, located on the south side of the city, is named after [[Francis Anthony Drexel]], the father of Saint [[Katharine Drexel]]. Drexel owned property along the road in the 1800s. Another Drexel-related site is the [[Benedictine Sisters Monastery]],<ref>[http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/163614 Upkeep, aging challenge dwindling order | www.azstarnet.com ®<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> built on the east side of town (now the middle of town) in 1940 with funds donated by St. Katharine. * Ina Road, a major east-west thoroughfare north of town, is named for UA physical education professor Ina Gittings. Although the street is pronounced "Eye-nah" she pronounced her name "Eee-nah." * Rita Road, located on Tucson's southeast side, is popularly believed to have been named by [[Howard Hughes]] in honor of his then girlfriend [[Rita Hayworth]]. Hughes Aircraft was located there in the 1950s. It is also widely believed to be named for the [[Santa Rita Mountains]] located southeast of Tucson. However, Rita Road was named for its connection to the small community of Rita, which was the El Paso and Southwestern (EP&SW) railroad stop serving the Santa Rita ranch. Rita was located just SE of Rankin, AZ which was located less than quarter-mile northeast of the present-day intersection of Kolb and Valencia. Rita was nearly due west from Esmond, AZ. Few traces of Rita survive, but Rankin and Esmond are easily located. Trivia: heading east from Tucson the railroad stops on the EP&SW were Aldona, Santa Cruz, Rita, and Vail. On the Southern Pacific heading the same way you'd pass Polvo, Wilmot, Rankin, Esmond, and Vail. The community of Rita was shown on local maps until at least 1922. * Until the late 1960s, city bus route number 1 was called the Binghampton route. This route went from downtown, past the university, and to the community of Binghampton around the Ft. Lowell Road and Dodge Road intersection. Binghampton was a farming community that was absorbed into the city in the 1940s. * Grant Road was originally two different roads, Grant Road and North Street. Because of map [[platt]]ing irregularies, the road starts eastward from Stone Avenue to First Avenue then veers south a block to the North Street alignment at Park Avenue, continues to Campbell Avenue, kicks north a block to the Grant Road alignment and continues eastward. The Grant Road alignment is exactly one mile north of the Speedway alignment, but the North Street alignment was preferred in the Park Avenue to Campbell section because the [[Section (United States land surveying)|section]] line was laid out differently for the subdivision directly south and following the Grant Road alignment would have necessitated demolishing many homes. ==Sister cities== Tucson has eleven [[town twinning|sister cities]]:<ref name="sisters">"[http://www.sister-cities.org/icrc/directory/usa/AZ Arizona Sister Cities]."

Anderson |time=May 2008 to present |parsys=Latin alphabet<br> Hangul<br> }} The modern '''Tauro-Piscean writing system''' uses four scripts: *'''Sonitos''', an alphabet, *'''Grammatikos''', an ideographic system, *'''Tŝinĝi''', characters of Chinese origin and *'''Affektos''', a set of 'standardised emoticons' Here is an example of text that uses both primary scripts (Sonitos red and Grammatikos green): [[Image:Sonitos_Grammatikos.png]] 'I build a house for you' ==Usage of Scripts== Most Tauro-Piscean sentences will contain both Sonitos and Grammatikos. Sonitos are used for stems of articles, nouns, verbs and adjectives, while Grammatikos are used for inflectional endings or variants of said parts of speech. The writing format is horizontal and read left to right. ==Sonitos== [[Image:Sonito.png|thumb|right|The word 'sonito' written in Sonitos]] Sonitos is a phonemic alphabet organised into syllabic blocks, which are called 'units'. Each unit consists of three letters or 'constituents' that are written vertically top to bottom, the initial and final of which are consonants, zero-consonants or consonant clusters and the medial of which is a vowel. There are two types of constituent: occupational and supplementary. Occupational constituents represent either one or one of two possible consonants (the latter of which is often the voiced counterpart and marked with a 'dakútên') and these are the same regardless of being in the initial or final position. Here is a table of occupational constituents: [[Image:Occ_Constits.png|300px]] The transliterations match IPA where possible. Sz stands for ʃ, gz stands for dʒ and r stands for ɹ generally, but can be an uvular sound. Supplementary constituents are harder to learn because each one stands for one or one of two consonant clusters, but represent usually entirely different consonant clusters when in initial and final position. [[Image:Supp_Constits1.png|400px]] [[Image:Supp_Constitsá.png|400px]] The medial constituent in a unit is always a vowel (Tauro-Piscean syllables always contain a vowel). [[Image:TP_Vowels.png|150px]] Where there is no consonant in a syllable, the zero-consonant constituent is used. [[Image:Tp_zero.png|50px]] ===Diacritics=== Several diacritics are used in conjunction with Sonitos. {|border=1 ! Example ! Name ! Purpose |- |[[Image:dakuten.png]] || Dakútên || Alternates value of consonant or consonant cluster |- |[[Image:Tp_Stress.png]] || Stress marker || Marks a stressed syllable where stress is irregular |- |[[Image:Tp_Prosod.png]] || Prosodic stress marker || Marks a syllable with prosodic stress |- |[[Image:Tp_Umlaut.png]] || Umlaut || Alternates value of vowel |- |[[Image:Tp_Circum.png]] || Circumflex || Alternates value of vowel |} ==Grammatikos== While Sonitos is used to write what is known as the '''lexical stem''' of a Tauro-Piscean word, Grammatikos can be affixed to indicate an inflection. Though considered phonetic, Sonitos do not give a true pronunciation guide when combined with Grammatikos; also, Grammatikos only indicate an alteration to meaning such as tense or mood, so the pronunciation of the inflection can vary and rules must be memorised. Here is an example: [[Image:Tet_Nom.png|50px]] This is the neuter definite article 'tet' as a lexical stem. It is spelled with the constituents t, e and t and is thus spelled phonetically. [[Image:Tet_Acc.png|50px]] This is the neuter definite article 'ten'. It is spelled with the lexical stem and the Grammatiko that indicates inflection for the accusative case. It is not spelled phonetically. [[Image:Tet_Dat.png|50px]] This is the neuter definite article 'tem'. It is spelled with the lexical stem and the Grammatiko that indicates inflection for the dative case. It is not spelled phonetically. There are twenty-five Grammatikos in total, shown below: [[Image:Grammatikos1.png]] [[Image:Grammatikos2.png]] For more information on how words are inflected, refer to the [[Tauro-Piscean_language|article about the Tauro-Piscean language]] Note that the noun compound marker is neither prefixed nor suffixed, but lies between the two parts of the noun. Also, while the tense and mood markers are usually affixed to the lexical stem of the verb, in the case of the present perfect, past continuous and future, they are instead affixed to the word that is the subject of the sentence. ==Tŝinĝi== Tŝinĝi are the Chinese characters that are used in the Tauro-Piscean writing system. There are ninety-one of them to memorise. Each character has different readings depending on its relation to characters from other scripts. A Tŝinĝi standing on its own is read as the word whose concept it represents; sometimes, there is more than one possible word from which to choose, but this can be determined via context. Take the following Tŝinĝi, for example: [[Image:Tsingi_alone.png]] white (''wit'') A Tŝinĝi combined with Sonitos or other Tŝinĝi has two possible readings. 1. Without dakútên, it abbreviates the spelling of a word that consists of more than one syllable. The concept of the character relates, albeit usually indirectly, to the meaning of the word. The usage in this case can be unpredictable and words spelled with Tŝinĝi abbreviations must therefore be learned. For example: [[Image:Tsingi_abbrev.png]] clear, evident (''sweotöl'' - where only töl is written with Sonitos) 2. With dakútên, it is read not as a native Tauro-Piscean word, but as a word that is derived from the original Chinese form. The meaning here is more abstract, but tints a word with connotations.

Its sister orthography is [[Krisauka]]. =Background= [[Image:Bell Tower.jpg|thumb|right|The Bell Tower of Temple University]] It was a system of writing created by [[Timothy Patrick Snyder]] and Rebecca Spatz. It was named for the Bell Tower at Temple University, where the two created the writing system. It was created to make a generally more phonetic form of English, without having accents and extra letters. The only symbols which are not on standard English Keyboards are '''þ''' and '''ð''', used for historical purposes connected to [[Old English]], but can also be replaced with the diagraphs '''th''' and '''dh''' respectively. Tawyr employs the Dutch technique of doubling a vowel to indicate Tense/Lax variation. With the exception of '''y''' all vowels have a single and double form, and all of those except for '''a''' and '''aa''' only differ by Tenseness or Laxness. Most other sounds would be similar to the standard English equivalents, with the exceptions of '''c''', '''x''', '''tc''', '''dx''', '''j''', and '. =The System= Here is the Chart showing the system with the IPA: [[Image:Tawyr Oorthaagryfii.jpg]] =Advantages - Advantydxiz= * More Phonetic ** Easier for foreign language learners to learn English ** Easier writing system for Children * Makes more logical sense ** Native English speakers would likely have an easier time with spelling and grammar ** Fits with all forms of grammar, and does not have pesky homophones * It may help standardise spoken English =Disadvantages - Disadvantydxiz= * Doesn't reflect English's Historic spelling and pronunciation ** It did not evolve from Middle English orthography * Once standardised, It will not be as useful for spoken dialects ** If it's standardised it would not promote dialect evolution ** If standardised it would help dialects to merge into one. =Examples - Egzampylz= ===Moodulz -Models=== cud = should <br> wud = would <br> kud = could <br> mee = may <br> wil = will <br> caal = shall <br> kan = can <br> ===Impoortent verbz - Important verbs=== bii = be <br> duu = do <br> noo = know <br> goo = go <br> sii = see <br> am = am <br> ar = are <br> iz = is <br> wyz = was <br> wer = were <br> ===Kwestcyn wyrdz - Question words=== wai = why <br> huu = who <br> hau = how <br> wyt = what <br> weer = where <br> wen = when <br> ===Proonaunz - Pronouns=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! colspan="1" align="center"|Case ! colspan="2" align="center"|First Person !

Timothy directed and acted in most of them, as well as his friends Anthony and Greg. The first video produced was a dancing music video to a ska swing song called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP6PIERHY08 Jumping Jack]. There is also a two part zombie film called '''ATAG of the Living dead''', they can be found at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAMKJzGclKk Chapter 1] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkarBSQionE Chapter 2].

It's voiced form is /[[Labial-velar approximant|w]]/. =Natlangs= ==English== ===[[Old English]]=== In [[Old English]] it was spelt '''Hw'''. An example might be the first line of [[Beowulf]] "Hwæt we Gar-Dena...." Other [[Anglo-Saxon]] words had this spelling, such as Hwær (where). Hwam (whom), Hwalas (whales), Hwon (who), Hwi (why). etc. ===[[Middle English]]=== This sound had three different spellings in Medieval English, but the most common was '''wh.''' In the earliest days, in such works as '''[[Brut]]''' we see that they prefer [[Anglo-Saxon]] spelling, so '''hw''' is most common. In works which have a heavy [[Old French]] influence it is common to see '''qu''' instead of the others, because qu /kw/ is the closest sounds French equivalent. [[Geoffrey Chaucer]], being one of the most influential to standardised English, used '''wh.''' ===[[Modern English]]=== Most people who speak English today now use /w/ instead of the /ʍ/. Some Dialects in the Northwest of the United States and quite a few Scottish accents still use it. Also many English speaks come close when they add a devoiced sound next to it, so 'twas, quest, sweet, and others have semi-devoiced /ʍ/s in them. ==Old Norse== In [[Old Norse]], a cognate sound was spelt '''hv''' and was used in cases similar to the Old English words. However, since it is reflected as /hv/ in East Scandinavian, /kv/ in [[Icelandic]], and it derives from [[Proto-Germanic]] *xw, it should not be taken as [ʍ], but rather as a cluster [xv] or [xʋ]. =Sources= http://www.huitalk.com/articles/is-middle-english-a-creole http://www.huitalk.com/activities/introduction-to-the-ipa-consonants-the-sounds-of-english Back to [[IPA]].

And which conlangs? Here's my attempt at an outline. If you find it incomplete, add stuff; if you find a different order would be better, re-arrange it; and if you find it makes "different" things your conlang would make "same", edit it. Body #Blood vessel ##Artery ##Vein #Material of which it is composed ##Bone ##Gristle or cartilage (sp? cartilege?) ##Skin ##Muscle ##Fat ##Blood #Trunk (torso) ##Chest ###Heart ###Lung ##Abdomen or Belly ###Stomach ###Liver ###Spleen ###Intestines ##Waist #Neck #Extremity ##Head ###Hair ###Ear ####Earhole ####Earlobe? ###Eye ####Eyeball #####Iris #####Pupil #####Sclera ####Eyebrow ####Eyelid #####Eyelash ####Eye socket ####Tear gland ###Nose ####Nostril ###Mouth ####Jaw #####Maxilla (upper jaw) #####Mandible (lower jaw) ####Tooth #####Incisor #####Eyetooth or Canine Tooth #####Molar (and/or premolar?) ####Tongue ##Limb ###Arm ####Shoulder ####Elbow ####Wrist ####Humerus (upper arm) ####Lower Arm ####Hand #####Palm ###Leg ####Hip #####buttock (if different) ####Knee ####Ankle ####Thigh (upper leg) ####Shank (lower leg, between knee and ankle) #####Shin #####Calf ####Foot #####Sole #####Heel #####Ball ##Digit (toe or thumb or finger) ###Nail ####Fingernail ####Toenail ###Toe ####Pollex ("Great" Toe or Big Toe) ####Pinky toe or little toe ####Other individual toes? ###Thumb ####Thumbnail ###Finger ####Index finger ####Pinky finger ####Middle finger ####Ring finger ##My god, how could I have left out the genitalia?!?! ###female ####vagina ####womb ###male ####penis ####testicle #Side ##Back ##Front ##Left ##Right ##Bottom (lower) ##Top (upper) #Orifices ##anus ##urethral meatus? ##vagina was covered under "genitalia". ##mouth and nose and ear were covered under "head". So was "eye", but your conlang might not consider that an orifice. ---- Does your conlang, or do your conlangs, use any of these terms, or reduced forms of them, as affixes? Or as verbs or adjectives or prepositions or conjunctions or pronouns? (I left out "adverbs" and "interjections". I assume the "interjections" part is "yes", because some of these are probably good curse-words. I can't think how to make one of these body-part nouns into an adverb, though.) ---- What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life? Popular answers are the liver (hence the name "liver") and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of emotion? Popular answers are the stomach, the guts, and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness? Popular answers are the eyes and the heart; but modern Western culture says "the brain". ---- Tom H.C. in MI Last edited by TomHChappell on Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:58 am; edited 4 times in total --[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 23:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC) == Things included and things omitted on purpose, with reasons == Author: TomHChappell Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 12:41 pm cromulant wrote: Your forgot the Isles of Langerhans. ---- I tried to leave out most things that were microscopic (like the Islets), and most things that were not visible on the surface (like the Islets). (I also left out the Organ of Zuckerkandl, which resides in the arch of the aorta. Nobody seems to know what it's for.) (And I left out the voicebox or larynx, and other parts of the speech system. Perhaps I should have included some of them. Others are welcome to, if they feel it would be good to do so.) Bones and blood and stomachs-and-or-intestines and hearts and wombs, however, seemed like I should include them. Blood is often visible on the surface, after a minor injury. If bone is visible on the surface, a major injury has occurred; but one can detect the bone from the outside by touch. Hearts move and make a sound detectable from the outside. The same is true of the stomach-and-or-intestines; furthermore the owner of the stomach can often tell when it's empty, or when it wants to operate in reverse (the name of that sensation is "nausea"). Wombs have visible results; and their owners know what's going on in them. (Actually, I've been kicked awake by an unborn baby whose mother slept through the kick!) As for livers and spleens and sweetbreads and so on: They are often referred to in old-fashioned conversations preceding the advent of modern medicine; I assume that the practice of butchery, together with those of surgery and veterinary and medicine, familiarized people with some of them. In some Native North American languages, for instance, an automobile's battery is referred to as its "liver". It would be reasonable for some conlangs not to have all of these, and for others to have body-part terms in addition to these. --[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 23:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC) == (lost post, including name of conlang) == Author: cromulant Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 11:29 am My word for arm is khaib.

Sorry, it's called Pabappa. Quote: Why more than one word? The ones separated by commas are synonyms. In some cases, there are synonyms because Pabappa was spoken for a long time over a large area, and since much of its vocabulary was created by loaning from aboriginal languages, even body parts could be called something different from one place to the other. Also, some words are just variations of each other; e.g. blampilpim and pilpi are both from the same root. And in the case of the genitals, there are a lot of slang words as well. Some of them probably have slightly different uses, but I haven't thought about it deeply yet. No word for thigh yet, other than if I wanted to make a phrase that just means "upper behind leg", but I might think of something better eventually.

In some cases, there are synonyms because Pabappa was spoken for a long time over a large area, and since much of its vocabulary was created by loaning from aboriginal languages, even body parts could be called something different from one place to the other. Also, some words are just variations of each other; e.g. blampilpim and pilpi are both from the same root. And in the case of the genitals, there are a lot of slang words as well. Some of them probably have slightly different uses, but I haven't thought about it deeply yet. Kind of what I thought. Thanks.

Interesting; thanks.

How are the forms "simah" and "soemaef" derived one from the other? It's left over from an older plural system similar to German's lengthening system. I haven't worked out the specifics yet, unfortunately. It irregular, but with some method to its madness, as you can see the remnents of the earlier plural system, but also a worn down version of the later -(I/E)b system. Quote: schwhatever wrote: lip - zilh I left that out. Should I have included it? I'm glad you got my suggestion that people should include anything they thought of, even if I'd left it out. Maybe? It was buried in my lexicon and I thought I might as well... Quote: schwhatever wrote: throat - vezop Is that the same as "neck", or different? No, it's the same. Quote: schwhatever wrote: muscle - hacaz (also means meat) Good; these probably should be the same word in many languages.

The main Psinu belief is that there are three main parts of a person: 1) the physical body, exemplified by the hands (eg. "bring your hands over here" - come here) 2)The conection with God (this is sometimes used to mean your ability to love someone, because it is believe that this connection with God escorts your soul to heaven, so if it's gone, the person has lost their soul), exemplified in the brain (actually, they think it's just a goey good-for-nothing, yet God must have put it there for a purpose, so maybe it's our connection with God?) This is not like the christian 'Holy Spirit, because it doesn't help you in life, it just guides you to heaven. 3) The personality, the 'real you'.

What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness? Popular answers are the eyes and the heart; but modern Western culture says "the brain". My current conculture project is retooling a proto-language, so at the moment I lack a total vocabulary and am not too sure on how to expand the entire ideal. However, I would like to answer these questions here. The Paratinó should not be considered an individual, existing culture. There are are little known texts about these people, and what is drawn here is drawn as a common denominator from the cultures that arose from the Paratinó. The assumed idea is that any given emotion has three components: * A fluid (blood, semen, saliva, bile) * An organ (any of them, really; though the genitals, liver, heart, brain, eyes, and tongue are chief) * Direction. This means that the path to any emotion requires one fluid to be filtered through an organ in a very specific direction. To make it simple, there is no simple way to say "life is seated in the liver," life can be many things. The fluid of blood is oftentimes called *adda sēυsŭ, or humor vitae. This sort of phrase stands side-by-side for the root for blood, *φĭlem. When one is lively and active, the blood flows through the heart upward. When one is wrought with anger, it is upward through the brain. When one is virile, it is semen (*adda tmilsŭ, the water of birth, or simply sθiwar) that flows downward into the genitals; however whenever when one is lustfull and simply desires self-pleasure, it is saliva that passes through the genitals (saliva being *adda gnāstıtsŭ, the water of desire; also aspa, spit) When on is empassioned with love, it is semen that flows to the left through the heart. Consciousness and guilt are bile (*adda graχwisŭ, the water of spite, or graχwisos that flow downward through the liver. When one is reighteous, bile passes upward through the liver. I hope this helps, and soon I should be able to expand the vocabulary to name all the organs.

"wòxin", "wòxel", and "woxh" look related; are they? Are there other relationships I've missed? The suffix "-el" means something like "the source of." So "telùmar" is hand, and "telumàrel" is literally "hand source", or the arm. With "woxh," which is foot, the h is silent and then dropped when the suffix is added making "wòxel," or leg. "Wòxin" is foot with the suffix for what equates to "middle." There are a few more like "ë̀ro" and "ë̀roi" for body and head. "ërotelùmar," meaning hair, is also related believe it or not, to hand, literally meaning "little hands."

This is not like the christian 'Holy Spirit, because it doesn't help you in life, it just guides you to heaven. The personality, the 'real you'.

Old Man Neek wrote: TomHChappell wrote: What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life? What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of emotion? What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness? My current conculture project is retooling a proto-language, so at the moment I lack a total vocabulary and am not too sure on how to expand the entire ideal. However, I would like to answer these questions here. The Paratinó should not be considered an individual, existing culture. There are are little known texts about these people, and what is drawn here is drawn as a common denominator from the cultures that arose from the Paratinó. The assumed idea is that any given emotion has three components: * A fluid (blood, semen, saliva, bile) * An organ (any of them, really; though the genitals, liver, heart, brain, eyes, and tongue are chief) * Direction. This means that the path to any emotion requires one fluid to be filtered through an organ in a very specific direction. To make it simple, there is no simple way to say "life is seated in the liver," life can be many things. The fluid of blood is oftentimes called *adda sēυsŭ, or humor vitae. This sort of phrase stands side-by-side for the root for blood, *φĭlem. When one is lively and active, the blood flows through the heart upward. When one is wrought with anger, it is upward through the brain. When one is virile, it is semen (*adda tmilsŭ, the water of birth, or simply sθiwar) that flows downward into the genitals; however whenever when one is lustfull and simply desires self-pleasure, it is saliva that passes through the genitals (saliva being *adda gnāstıtsŭ, the water of desire; also aspa, spit) When on is empassioned with love, it is semen that flows to the left through the heart. Consciousness and guilt are bile (*adda graχwisŭ, the water of spite, or graχwisos that flow downward through the liver. When one is reighteous, bile passes upward through the liver. I hope this helps, and soon I should be able to expand the vocabulary to name all the organs. @You, Neek ('cause there is only one of you); Oh, yes, it surely does help; thanks. Have you been able to expand the vocabulary yet to any other names of organs that you'd like us to see? If so, where can we look for them? -Klaivas- wrote: Ooo, I forgot this thread existed!

The heart and guts are the home of the emotions - the heart beats faster with just about any intense emotion, and when it gets even more intense, the stomach aches. Consciousness was associated with the eyes, although it then became associated with the brain because people who had lost their eyes still reported being conscious - the brain was the obvious choice, being behind the eyes, and able to see through them. _________________ ils wrote: Imralu: certified sane!

I tried looking it up at WP but I couldn't understand the picture. Tears are the watery, salty secretion that keeps the eyes moist. The bulk of the refracting of light during focussing is done by a thin veil of tears; the lens just fine-tunes it. Tears also contain protein (and FAIK other biological ingredients); that is why it is necessary to clean contact lenses once a day. When the eye is irritated the production and flow of tears is increased, to the point that they leak out of the eye; the usual result is to wash out whatever is irritating the eye. When someone weeps, they often over-produce tears this same way. Tear-glands (aka lacrimal glands) are in the upper outer corners of the eyes. In the lower inner corners of the eyes are ducts that ordinarily take tears down into the nose; if the tear-glands aren't overproducing, this is where tears usually are disposed of. Qwynegold wrote: And what is meant with bottom and top side? Is it supposed to be the lower and upper half of the body? Just think either "bottom of body" and "top of body", or "lower half of body" and "upper half of body". If you want two pairs of terms, go ahead and provide both. Otherwise take your pick. aardwolf wrote: Museum? Nah; there's no real 'important' information here. If more people responded to the following questions, would it? I wrote: Does your conlang, or do your conlangs, use any of these terms, or reduced forms of them, as affixes? Or as verbs or adjectives or prepositions or conjunctions or pronouns? (I left out "adverbs" and "interjections". I assume the "interjections" part is "yes", because some of these are probably good curse-words. I can't think how to make one of these body-part nouns into an adverb, though.) What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life? Popular answers are the liver (hence the name "liver") and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of emotion? Popular answers are the stomach, the guts, and the heart. What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness? Popular answers are the eyes and the heart; but modern Western culture says "the brain". aardwolf wrote: Were it a thread about 'how does your language chop up (so to speak) the body .. eg one word for arm+hand etc' then maybe.

Feel free to rephrase the question(s) then! Or pose this question, if it's the one you like. How would posters modify this thread so that it would be museum-worthy? I think you'd need things like discussion of (systematic) cultural associations (e.g. your original questions about the seat of emotion, etc.), strong cross-linguistic tendencies (always distinguishing certain body parts or not, words for the genitals being taboo/impolite), and derivation (e.g. how my conlang Old Gzho uses the same word for "arm" and "hand", but can also refer to the arm as the "hand-neck"). Also usage of body part terms for other things, i.e. verbal affixes, locative/directional expressions, etc. And investigating how changes to body structure would affect language, e.g. having no lips wouldn't just mean a lack of labial consonants - you also wouldn't be able to produce rounded vowels, which could have a big affect on the vowel inventory. _________________ Òmiç lumei ge lòmtau vi ge bleiskou, ge tiltau vi ge vighou, ge kivo vi ge prèhou.

I'm pretty sure I included, or added, some of those; tear gland, upper and lower jaw, thigh, shin, two of the toes and "other individual toes?", and each of the fingers. I'm not sure what a shank is. I didn't include the calf, I don't think; I guess I should. I included the hips; I didn't distinguish the buttocks from the hips. I didn't get into internal organs that a layman couldn't tell were there and doing things without opening up the body; so that's why I left out the ovaries and the prostate, though I include the womb and the testes. My last update on that was July 15 on Page 4.

For humans I don't believe more than 16 compass points in a plane are natural. For a solid I haven't worked it out or thought it out; I can see 48 (in rectangular "xyz" coordinates, the coordinates' absolute values could be in 6 orders, and the coordinates could come in 8 combinations of positive and negative), but can't be certain more wouldn't be possible. For instance if spherical coordinates (longitude and latitude) are used, and my idea of "16 points is natural in a plane" is true, there might be 128 "points" on a sphere (8 latitudes x 16 longitudes). If a "spherical coordinate system" is used, there needs to be some way to indicate or suggest distance from the center. (If a "cylindrical coordinate system" is used, it would be "distance from the pole" that would need to be suggested or indicated.) There'd have to be at least two degrees (body vs extremity), perhaps three (body vs limb vs hand-or-foot-or-digit) or four ("body" might come in two grades, core vs "rind" or some such); possibly a human language might have five or six, I'd have to think about that; a non-human system might have more than six, or be likelier than a human system to have more than three. simon.clarkstone wrote: Such a system would be non-natural and "logical", but that is just what I want in my case.

TBH I am not sure how I will actually do this, or how similar to the compass system it would actually be, though cylindrical co-ordinates look promising. I mean that (e.g.) there would be no root for "elbow", but something derived from "wrist" and "shoulder". And "knee" and one of the wing-joints would be the same word, with just one part changed because they are on different limbs. Or you could refer to (e.g.) "the bottom half of the upper-right quadrant of your back" in a simple way.

Talanese requires articles for nouns pretty much all the time (because nouns themselves don't inflect much), and of course prepositions don't have articles. It all came to me when I was reading a rather interesting text that had something to do with perception of time, progress and motion in Mediaeval paintings in the library. Actually, my whole TAM system is built upon inspiration drawn from that! --- As for the body parts list, well... I haven't filled out much, yet, because I've chosen to do it elaborately. I have more words for body parts than there are on this list, but I just haven't reached them yet while filling it out! Thanks for providing it, though. Here's what I have so far (.htm converted from .doc) http://www.by002.net/~neuteboo/bodyparts.htm I'll get there... some time!

Ajan and the [[Qatama]] [[conlang]] were invented by [[User:Qang|Qang]] for use in his [[conworld]], [[Qatama]]. It was created as an alternative to the alphabet [[Moj]]. =Notable features= * Ajan is written vertically, in columns running from left to right. * The word 'ajan' not only refers to the script but also means "a tied rope, or knot" in [[Qatama]] - referring to the appearance of the words. * Ajan contains 15 consonants, two vowel markers and three vowel diacritics. =Ajan abjad= [[Image:Ajan.GIF]] === A serif style === [[Image:Ajan serif.GIF]] ==Notes== * Full vowel indication (vocalization) can be added, usually by means of diacritics, but this is not common. * The script can also be written horizontally, but this is only done to save space. * There is no punctuation used in [[Qatama]], pauses, stops and questions are understood through the use of context and particles. * Most often the vowels are not marked, the single diagonal mark is used to show that a vowel begins or ends the word, and is also used to connect graphemes that otherwise would not connect based on the normal methods of connecting. =Sample text in Ajan= [[Image:Smp ajan.GIF]] [[Category:Qatama]][[Category:Conscripts]] Bwenkhir 5109 49746 2009-10-13T13:36:06Z Xeroderma Pigmentosum 1216 '''Bwenkhir''' is a language spoken by an ancient people of the Converse. It is the proto-language from which all other languages in the [[Bwenkhiric language phylum]] are descended. ==Phonemic inventory== *p /p/; t /t/; k /k/; q /q/ *b /b/; d /d/; g /g/; x /ɢ/ *ph /ɸ/; s /s/ ([ʃ] before i); kh /x/ *bh /β/; z /z/ ([ʒ] before i); gh /ɣ/ *r /r/ *m /m/; n /n/ ([ŋ] before a velar) *j: /j/ *w: /w/ *i /i/; y /y/; e /Ɛ/; a /a/; ï /ɪ/; u /u/; o /ɔ/ Accent is on the first syllable of one-morpheme words or for words with inflectional suffixes. For compound words, the accent is on the last morpheme, although the first morpheme (head) has a secondary stress. When /n/ comes before /b/, /p/, /β/ or /ɸ/ in a compound word, the pronunciation mutates to /m/. When /m/ comes before /d/ or /t/, the pronunciation mutates to /n/. ==Grammar== ===Structure=== Word order is VSO. ===Nouns=== Nouns fall into three genders, masculine, feminine and neuter. The cases are as follows: *Nominative -- Denotes the agent of an action (there is no passive voice). *Accusative -- Denotes the person, animal or thing to which or to whom an action is done. *Genitive -- Denotes possession or genealogical relation. *Dedative -- Denotes the person by whom something was given to someone. *Partitive -- Denotes the whole of which something is a part. *Dative -- Denotes the object of a preposition or an indirect object. Masculine nouns decline like this: saph (wing) *Singular Plural *Nom saph saphi *Acc sapham sapho *Gen sapho saphes *Ded saphun saphom *Par saphakh saphïz *Dat saphis saphy Feminine nouns decline like this: pwem (sun) *Singular Plural *Nom pwem pwemen *Acc pwemen pwemor *Gen pwemy pwemïn *Ded pwemun pwemogh *Par pwemas pwemo *Dat pwemi pwemyr Neuter nouns decline like this: rez (mouth) *Singular Plural *Nom rez rezïm *Acc rezis rezu *Gen rezi rezys *Ded rezakh rezubh *Par rezakh rezubh *Dat rezo rezy If the singular nominative of a noun has two syllables and ends in a vowel, the vowel disappears when declining it: duri (heart) *Singular Plural *Nom dur duri *Acc duram duro *Gen duro dures *Ded durun durom *Par durakh durïz *Dat duris dury If the singular nominative has one syllable and ends in a vowel, a -k- is added before the declensional suffix: ma (mother) *Singular Plural *Nom ma maken *Acc maken makor *Gen maky makïn *Ded makun makogh *Par makas mako *Dat maki makyr When words are used as names, they are always masculine (if used as a boy's name) or feminine (if used as a girl's name), regardless of the gender of the noun in its common sense. So a woman named Wem (a neuter noun for sea) would have her name inflected as a feminine noun. Something owned by a person takes the genitive, and something FROM a person takes the dedative. So, using the feminine name Mwan as an example, "Mwany qonja" means "Mwan's egg (the egg Mwan owns)", and "Mwanun qonja" means "Mwan's egg (the egg Mwan gave to me)". Compound nouns are head-first: bhes (man), bhesban (husband). The first part of these compound nouns declines: bhesban (husband) *Singular Plural *Nom bhesban bhesiban *Acc bhesamban bhesoban *Gen bhesoban bhesesban *Ded bheshunban bhesomban *Par bhesakhban bhesïzban *Dat bhesisban bhesyban An epenthetic -t is added if forming a compound word entails adding a word ending in a vowel to a word beginning with a vowel: xersa (speck) + ïm (time) = xersatïm (moment). The nominative can be used as a vocative: Arma, khamybh ghumam ni.<br> Arma look_at+IMPER goat+m/ACC 1s/GEN<br> Arma, look at my goat. The dative without any preposition can indicate an indirect object. Indirect objects come between the verb and the subject: Tybhor my phwo pwambis.<br> f/PAST+give 1s/DAT woman cherry+n/ACC<br> The woman gave me a cherry. The dative without a preposition can indicate time: Ronyn ykh ghumam tysis jobhis.<br> m/FUT+cook 1pi goat+m/ACC year+m/DAT this+m/DAT<br> We will cook the goat this year. The word "swegham" is used in object position when a pronoun is reflexive: Tikas Gho swegham.<br> m/PAST+cut Gho REFL<br> Gho cut himself. When colors are used as nouns, they are all neuter. ===Pronouns=== Here are the personal pronouns in Bwenkhir: *om (first person singular; I) *ny (second person singular; you) *bakh (third person singular masculine; he, it) *gem (third person singular feminine; she, it) *ra (third person singular neuter; it, he, she) *ykh (first person plural inclusive; we) *pabh (first person plural exclusive; we) *dyr (second person plural; you) *dïs (third person plural masculine; they) *kher (third person plural feminine; they) *an (third person plural neuter; they) A third-person pronoun is chosen purely based on the grammatical gender of its antecedent. So "jin" (light) would be referred to by "bakh" because "jin" is masculine, and if you referred to a female friend with "tengha" (friend) and then used a pronoun to refer to "tengha", you would use "ra" and not "gem" because "tengha" is neuter. If you are referring to more than one entity (for instance, khir (m) and nys (f), river and mountain, as "they"), the masculine take precedence over the feminine and the feminine takes precedence over the neuter. So "khir y nys" (river and mountain) would be "dïs". The pronouns decline thus: om (1s) *Nom om *Acc mo *Gen ni *Ded nikh *Par mes *Dat my ny (2s) *Nom ny *Acc da *Gen ger *Ded gekh *Par ges *Dat gy bakh (3sm) *Nom bakh *Acc bakham *Gen bakho *Ded bakhun *Par bakhakh *Dat bakhis gem (3sf) *Nom gem *Acc gemen *Gen gemy *Ded gemun *Par gemas *Dat gemi ra (3sn) *Nom ra *Acc rakis *Gen raki *Ded rakakh *Par rakakh *Dat rako ykh (1pi) *Nom ykh *Acc ykh *Gen ykhi *Ded ykhas *Par ykhï *Dat ykhy pabh (1pe) *Nom pabh *Acc pabh *Gen pabhi *Ded pabhas *Par pabhï *Dat pabhy dyr (2p) *Nom dyr *Acc dyra *Gen arta *Ded rasta *Par ren *Dat rom dïs (3pm) *Nom dïsi *Acc dïso *Gen dïses *Ded dïsom *Par dïsïz *Dat dïsy kher (3pf) *Nom kheren *Acc kheror *Gen kherïn *Ded kherogh *Par khero *Dat kheryr an (3pn) *Nom anïm *Acc anu *Gen anys *Ded anubh *Par anubh *Dat any So: *om: I *mo: me *ghum ni: my goat (the goat I own) *ghum nikh: my goat (the goat I gave someone) *ken mes: my hand *khem my: with me ("khem" is the preposition for with) ===Adjectives=== Genitives (as well as dedatives and partitives) come after the nouns that "possess" them. Adjectives come after nouns, and decline with the case, number and gender of the noun they modify. Example with "swebh": saph swebh (warm wing) *Singular Plural *Nom saph swebh saphi swebhi *Acc sapham swebham sapho swebho *Gen sapho swebho saphes swebhes *Ded saphun swebhun saphom swebhom *Par saphakh swebhakh saphïz swebhïz *Dat saphis swebhis saphy swebhy pwem swebh (warm sun) *Singular Plural *Nom pwem swebh pwemen swebhen *Acc pwemen swebhen pwemor swebhor *Gen pwemy swebhy pwemïn swebhïn *Ded pwemun swebhun pwemogh swebhogh *Par pwemas swebhas pwemo swebho *Dat pwemi swebhi pwemyr swebhyt rez swebh (warm mouth) *Singular Plural *Nom rez swebh rezïm swebhïm *Acc rezis swebhis rezu swebhu *Gen rezi swebhi rezys swebhys *Ded rezakh swebhakh rezubh swebhubh *Par rezakh swebhakh rezubh swebhubh *Dat rezo swebho rezy swebhy The prefix we- before an adjective makes it comparative, and the prefix ghy- makes it superlative: ghum zwon (big goat), ghum wezwon (bigger goat), ghum ghyzwon (the biggest goat). The prefix si- means less, and the prefix nï- means least: bhes phïz (angry man), bhes siphïz (less angry man), bhes nïphïz (the least angry man). A -d- is added after the prefix when the adjective begins with a vowel, so: nys ang (wide river), nys wedang (wider river), nys ghydang (widest river), nys sidang (less wide river), nys nïdang (least wide river) The accent in these comparative and superlative forms is on the root word rather than the prefix. Adjectives become adverbs through the construction "khem arto ...o" (with a ... manner). Sïpher gem khem arto memo.<br> f/PRES+paint she with manner+n/DAT good+n/DAT<br> She paints well. Kodan om khem arto wepako.<br> m/PRES+walk 1s with manner+n/DAT COMP+slow+k+n/DAT<br> I walk more slowly. The preposition "qïn" means "than": Wepa myra qïn ghumis.<br> COMP+slow snail than goat+m/DAT<br> A snail is slower than a goat. Determiners come after the nouns they modify: *bhes jobh: this man *bhesi jobhi: these men ===Prepositions=== Prepositions come before their objects in Bwenkhir. ===Verbs=== All verbs in the proto-language fall into one conjugation. Tense markers are placed at the beginning, while mood and aspect markers come at the end. Verbs inflect for gender, based on the grammatical gender of their subject. *Past tense: ti- (m), ty- (f), ta (n) *Present tense: ko- (m), sï- (f), bha (n) *Future tense: ro- (m), ry- (f), phi- (n) So: *teph: to stand *titeph bakh: he stood *tyteph gem: she stood *tateph ra: it stood *koteph bakh: he stands *sïteph gem: she stands *bhateph ra: it stands *roteph bakh: he will stand *ryteph gem: she will stand *phiteph ra: it will stand I, you, we and you (pl.) all take the gender of the person (or sometimes for you, the animal) being referred to. So a man would say "koteph om" for "I stand", but a woman would say "sïteph om". Mood comes after the verb: *kotephar ny: you could stand (have the option of standing to consider) (if the "you" being referred to is male; if female this would be "sïtephar ny") *kotephas ny: you can stand *kotephem ny: you may stand (have the permission to stand) *kotephïph ny: you might/may stand *kotephuz ny: you should stand *kotephir ny: you must stand *titephar ny: you could have stood (had the option of standing to consider) *titephas ny: you could stand (were able to stand) *titephem ny: you were allowed to stand *titephïph ny: you might/may have stood *titephuz ny: you should have stood *titephir ny: you must have stood *rotephar ny: you could stand (have the option of standing to consider in the future) *rotephas ny: you will be able to stand *rotephem ny: you will be allowed to stand *rotephïph ny: you might be able to stand (in the future) *rotephuz ny: you should stand (in the future) *rotephir ny: you must stand (in the future) While "koteph om" means "I (male) stand", "kotephun om" means "I am standing". The aspect marker -un goes after the mood marker, so: *kotephuz ny: you should stand *kotephuzun ny: you should be standing Accent goes on the root of the verb. If the verb's root ends in a vowel, -k- is added before the suffix or suffixes: *phwu: to sleep *sïphwu gem: she sleeps *sïphwukun gem: she is sleeping *sïphwukas gem: she can sleep *sïphwukasun gem: she can be sleeping A -d- is added before a root that begins with a vowel: *ebh: to smile *kodebh dïs: they (m) smile An -n- (which may be pronounced as /m/ or /ŋ/ as well) is inserted after the tense/gender prefix to make the verb negative: *tinteph bakh: he did not stand *tynteph gem: she did not stand *tanteph ra: it did not stand *konteph bakh: he does not stand *sïnteph gem: she does not stand *bhanteph ra: it does not stand *ronteph bakh: he will not stand *rynteph gem: she will not stand *phinteph ra: it will not stand Before a root that begins with n, an -e- is added after the negative n: *nyn: to cook *tinenyn bakh: he did not cook *tynenyn gem: she did not cook *tanenyn ra: it did not cook *konenyn bakh: he does not cook *sïnenyn gem: she does not cook *bhanenyn ra: it does not cook *ronenyn bakh: he will not cook *rynenyn gem: she will not cook *phinenyn ra: it will not cook A -d- is not used after the -n-: *ebh: to smile *konebh dïs: they (m) do not smile (not *kondebh dïs) An imperative adds -ybh at the end: *tephybh: stand! To make a negative imperative, add -an at the beginning and -ybh at the end: *antephybh: don't stand! The hortatory is expressed with future tense (ro- if at least one of you is male, ry- if the speaker and addressees are all female) and the suffix -ïgh: *rotephïgh ykh: let's stand *rontephïgh ykh: let's not stand For counterfactual/subjunctive, the vowel in the root of the verb changes: *a -> e *e -> i *i -> y *ï -> i *o -> y *u -> y *y -> u *komakh bakh: he dies *jor komekh bakh: if he died *jor konmekh bakh: if he did not die *jor timekh bakh: if he had died *kores bakh: he lives *jor koris bakh: if he lived *koghir bakh: he grows *jor koghyr bakh: if he grew And so on. Bwenkhir has no copula. To say "is", you put the adjective (without a declensional ending), right before the noun where the verb would be: Khur bïqi mes.<br> thick blood 1p/PAR<br> My blood is thick. Linking verbs come before their predicate adjectives: Sïgwukh swebh pwem.<br> f/PRES+feel warm sun<br> The sun feels warm. Predicate adjectives do not take declensional endings: wemïm bukïm<br> sea+pl/NOM deep+k+n/pl/NOM But: Bharim bu wemïm.<br> n/PRES+look deep sea+pl/NOM<br> The seas look deep. The verb "nïph", not to be, is used to make a predicate adjective negative: Sïnïph rebh pwem.<br> f/PRES+not_be red sun<br> The sun is not red. Conjugated verbs go before the infinitive. jïbh = to try<br> Tyjïbh jes om jïsam.<br> f/PAST+try eat 1s meat+m/ACC<br> I (f) tried to eat the meat. The verb "tubh" means "to do". In the past tense, it can pair up with an infinitive to make the pluperfect, and in the future, "tubh" plus an infinitive makes the future perfect. Titubh jes bakh pwambis.<br> m/PAST+do eat 3sm cherry+n/ACC<br> He had eaten the cherry. The word "ron" means "to exist", and is used to express "there is/there are": Koron khir jos.<br> m/PRES+exist mountain here<br> There is a mountain here. Tyron tweza jos.<br> f/PAST+exist tree here<br> There was a tree here. -yph after the root of the verb makes it into a participial adjective: *Sïtïm phwo: The woman runs *phwo sïtïmyph: the running woman *Tytïm phwo: The woman ran *phwo tytïmyph: the woman who was running *Rytïm phwo: The woman will run *phwo rytïmyph: the woman who will be running Tipa om ghumam titïmypham.<br> m/PAST+see 1s goat+m/ACC m/PAST+run+PARTADJ+m/ACC<br> I saw the running goat. [the then-running goat] ===Conjunctions=== Conjunctions like "if" or "because" come before a clause, not after. Coming before a verb with its usual root vowel, "ior" (if) is conditional; coming before a verb with the altered vowel, "jor" makes a subjunctive. *jor timakh bakh: if he died (conditional) *jor romakh bakh: if he dies (conditional) *jor komekh bakh: if he died (counterfactual) *jor konmekh bakh: if he did not die (counterfactual) *jor timekh bakh: if he had died (counterfactual) Tyseph gem ïn tymakh ma gemy.<br> f/PAST+cry 3sf because f/PAST+die mother 3sf/GEN<br> She cried because her mother died. The conjunction "wes" is used before an intentional clause (say that, know that, promise that, etc.), and is the equivalent of "that": Kodyn bakh wes tidï kus.<br> m/PRES+say 3sm that m/PAST+fall wall<br> He says (that) the wall fell. This is also used with verbs like "see" or "hear": Tipa om wes tijes ghum phimphen.<br> m/PAST+see 1s that m/PAST+eat goat grass+f/ACC<br> I (m) saw the goat eat the grass. "In order to": To say that someone did X in order to do Y, the verb infinitive becomes the dative object of "ez" (to, for), and the object of the verb becomes a genitive. Infinitives/gerunds are neuter when they are used as nouns. Tiphys pabh phanten ez bheko ghumo.<br> m/PAST+enter 1pe house+f/ACC to feed+k+n/DAT goat+m/GEN<br> We entered the house to feed the goat. To say that someone did X so that someone else could do Y, use the word "rïkh" (so) as your conjunction, and then state the verb, subject and object of the dependent clause: Ryzom om ghastis rïkh ronphekh bhiz ghumam ykhi.<br> f/FUT+close 1s fence+n/ACC so m/FUT+NEG+get bhiz goat+m/ACC 1pi/GEN<br> I (f) will close the fence so the bhiz will not get our goat. ===Deixis=== The words for "here", "there" and "over there": *jos: here *rus: there *zys: over there They correspond to the following pronouns: *jom: this *rum: that (by you) *zym: that (away from both of us) And to the following determiners: *jobh: this *rubh: that (by you) *zybh: that (away from both of us) ===Verbs with two objects=== With a clause following the verb pïm (to make), saying that X makes Y do Z, the verb is put in the neuter accusative singular (the -is form) and the subject of the verb in the clause becomes genitive: Typïm khizi dïkis twezïn.<br> f/PAST+make lightning fall+n/ACC tree+f/pl/GEN<br> The lightning made the trees fall. If the verb has an object, it is put in the dative: Tipïm pukh uris ni qonji.<br> m/PAST+make storm+n/ACC drop 1s/GEN egg+f/DAT<br> The storm made me drop an egg. Verbs such as "waph" (to want) and "qegh" (to let) follow the same pattern: Sïwaph om jesis bakho qonji zybhi.<br> f/PRESENT+want 1s eat+n/ACC 3sm/GEN egg+f/DAT that3+f/DAT<br> I (f) want him to eat that egg. Datives can be used to mark a noun as a second object of verbs: Tinem ma y ta bakho bakham Zemis.<br> m/PAST+name mother and father 3sm/GEN 3sm/ACC Zem+m/DAT<br> His mother and father named him Zem. or adjectives as a second object of verbs: Tipher bakh phanten kasi.<br> m/PAST+paint 3sm house+f/ACC white+f/DAT<br> I (m) painted the house white. Ryqwe om swasten mes gighi.<br> f/FUT+grow 1s hair+f/ACC 1s/PAR long+f/DAT<br> I (f) will grow my hair long. ===Relative clauses=== To form a relative clause, you place the verb after the head noun or pronoun, then use the relative "tïph" (for masculine subjects), "sem" (for feminine subjects) or "kir" (for neuter subjects), then place the object or prepositional phrase: bhes kojes tïph qonjor<br> man m/PRESENT+eat that/m egg+f/pl/ACC<br> the man who eats eggs When the head noun is the object of another noun in the relative clause, place the subject between the verb and tïph/sem/kir. The relative will be chosen depending on the gender of the subject: ghum tynyn om sem<br> goat f/PAST+cook 1s that/f<br> the goat I (f) cooked Kogwor ghum tynyn om sem di karpi.<br> m/PRESENT+be_located goat f/PAST+cook 1s that/f in bowl+f/ACC<br> The goat I (f) cooked is in a bowl. To form a descriptive clause (which/who) instead a restrictive clause (that/who), the relative "xas" is used. It does not vary with gender: Tidaph bhes kojes xas qonjor narbu da.<br> m/PAST+lift man m/PRESENT+eat which egg+f/pl/ACC often stone<br> The man, who often eats eggs, lifted a stone. Wagh ghum tynyn om xas.<br> delicious goat f/PAST+cook 1s which<br> The goat, which I (f) cooked, is delicious. "Tïph", "sem", "kir" and "xas" can be made genitive, as "tïpho", "semy", "kiri", "xaso" (m), "xasy" (f) or "xasi" (n), to translate the relative "whose"; they are declined according to the gender of the owner and come after the noun referring to the possessee: Sïtephun phwo tywubh juja semy mo jos.<br> f/PRESENT+stand+progr. woman f/PAST+soothe song who/f+f/GEN 1s/ACC there<br> The woman whose song soothed me is standing there. Konakun ghum tynyn om ghikhis xaso.<br> m/PRESENT+bleat+progr. goat f/PAST+cook 1s kid+n/ACC which+m/GEN<br> The goat, whose kid I cooked, is bleating. The relative word can combine with a preposition by being placed after it: qim: from<br> qimtïph: from which (m)<br> Tyrom tweza ez dughis tysam gem qimtïph.<br> f/PAST+return tree to earth+m/DAT f/PAST+come 2sf from+that/m<br> The tree returned to the earth from which it came. Note that the masculine form of "from which" is used because the earth (dugh), from which the tree came, is masculine. ===Questions=== To make a yes/no question, place "kwi" before the verb: Kwi kojes ghumi phimphen?<br> Do? m/PRESENT+eat goat+m/pl grass+f/ACC<br> Do goats eat grass? To answer yes say "oja", to answer no say "na". The word "anka" (really) can be placed after "kwi" to form a sentence tag: Kwi anka kojes ghumi phimphen?<br> Do? really m/PRESENT+eat goat+m/pl grass+f/ACC<br> Don't goats eat grass?<br> or<br> Goats eat grass, don't they? The following are question words: Pronouns: *xan (m): what *qwor (m): who Determiners: *tas: what, which *bum: how much (in plural, how many) Adverbs: *jus: where *ezjus: where to *qimjus: where from *jïn: when *qy: why *ryma: how "Xan" and "qwor" behave like masculine nouns. "Tas" and "bum" are declined like adjectives. A question word comes at the beginning of the sentence. An adjectival question word will be followed by the noun it modifies, whether that noun is in subject or object position. Next comes the verb, then the subject, then the object, in that order: Jïn tyjes ny qonjen?<br> when f/PAST+eat 2s egg+f/ACC<br> When did you (f) eat the egg? Tasen qonjen tyjes ny?<br> which+f/ACC egg+f/ACC f/PAST+eat 2s<br> Which egg did you (f) eat? Xanam tyjes ny?<br> what+m/ACC f/PAST+eat 2s<br> What did you (f) eat? "Xan" and "qwor" can be made possessive to mean "whose": Qworo ghumam tixen bhiz?<br> who+m/GEN goat+m/ACC m/PAST+steal bhiz<br> Whose goat did the [[bhiz]] steal? Here the masculine form of "whose" is used because "ghum", goat, is masculine. A preposition can come before a WH- question word: Di qwory phanti tiphwu bhiz?<br> in who+f/GEN house+f/DAT m/PAST+sleep bhiz<br> In whose house did the bhiz sleep? Note that here even with the question word no longer the first word in the sentence, "whose" still comes before the noun rather than in an adjective's usual position after it. The word "wes" can be combined with question words to make a compound conjunction, expressing ideas like "I know when" or "tell me what": *weskwi: whether *wesxan: what *wesqwor: who *westas: what, which *wesbum: how much (in plural, how many) *wesjus: where *wesezjus: where to *wesqimjus: where from *wesjïn: when *wesqy: why *wesryma: how Sïzun om wesqy sïsam janga.<br> f/PRESENT+know 1s that+why f/PRESENT+come snake<br> I (f) know why the snake comes. Kowokh om wesbumor qonjor tyjes Phur.<br> m/PRESENT+wonder 1sthat+how_much+f/pl/ACC egg+f/pl/ACC f/PAST+eat Phur<br> I (m) wonder how many eggs Phur ate. A preposition can be squeezed in between "wes" and the question word: Kowokh om wesdiqwory phanti typhwu janga.<br> m/PRESENT+wonder 1s that+in+who+f/GEN house+f/DAT f/PAST+sleep snake<br> I (m) wonder whose house the snake slept in. ==Numbers== Bwenkhir has a base-10 system: *ki: one *babh: two *twes: three *wïn: four *kan: five *pwobh: six *pwen: seven *xïgh: eight *khekh: nine *dykh: ten *dykh y ki: eleven *dykh y babh: twelve *dykh y twes: thirteen *dykh y wïn: fourteen *dykh y kan: fifteen *dykh y pwobh: sixteen *dykh y pwen: seventeen *dykh y xïgh: eighteen *dykh y khekh: nineteen *babhdykh: twenty *babhdykh y ki: twenty-one *twesdykh: thirty *wïndykh: forty *kandykh: fifty *pwobhdykh: sixty *pwendykh: seventy *xïghdykh: eighty *khekhdykh: ninety *xoph: one hundred *xoph ki: one hundred and one *xoph dykh: one hundred and ten *xoph kandykh y pwen: one hundred fifty-seven *babh xoph: two hundred Numbers come after the noun they modify and are not inflected: Tyjes phwo pwambu kan.<br> f/PAST+eat woman cherry+n/pl/ACC five<br> The woman ate five cherries.

Everyone starts out as a baba (baby). They then age into a khwesiphdan (toddler), before spending several years as a core bos. Upon hitting puberty, they become a zwona (adult), and are either a phwo (woman) or bhes (man). They remain zwonïm for the rest of their lives, including when they are an onku (elder), being either a sepha (old woman) or qïngu (old man). ==Lexicon== *abh: to claim *agh: to occupy *agha (f): occupation (act of occupying a country) *agwa (f): brain *am: first *an: third person plural neuter;

It uses a phonetic system of writing English, which may be useful to those who are learning English as a non native language. It is a sister orthography of [[Tower Orthography]]. =History= The origin of Krisauka dates back to early 2007, when its creator Dolmar, started to develop an orthography which would be used as an alternative to English spelling. It is heavily influenced by a fellow conlinguist whose forum name is Chris and a random phonetic of alchemy relating to gold, hence ''Krisauka'', meaning Chris' golden descendant.[[http://www.omniglot.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=410|Chris at Omniglot]] Despite being an alternative to English, it is more foreign looking than it deems. It is currently undergoing some renovation. =Alphabet= Krisauka uses most English letters with a few additional characters. The following is a table of the Krisaukan alphabet. [[Image:Krisauka.PNG]] =Sample= The following is an example taken from an extract from [[http://www.runescape.com|RuneScape]]'s website.

It is a largely isolating language, and was historically the main language of scholarship throughout [[Odirá]]. Scientific terminology is still largely drawn from Classical Blafu. == Phonology == === Consonants === {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="bordertable" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |colspan=2|&nbsp; |'''Bilabial''' |'''Dental''' |'''Retroflex''' |'''Palatal''' |'''Velar''' |'''Glottal''' |- |rowspan=4|Stops |Aspirated |'''Ph''' |'''Th''' |'''Trh''' |'''Ch''' |'''Kh''' |- |Unaspirated |'''P''' |'''T''' |'''Tr''' |'''C''' |'''K''' |- |Voiced |'''B''' |'''D''' |'''Dr''' |'''J''' |'''G''' |- |Prenasalized |'''Mb''' |'''Nd''' |'''Ndr''' |'''Nj''' |'''Ng''' |- |colspan=2|Nasals |'''M''' |'''N''' |'''Nr''' |'''Ñ''' |'''Ng'''' |- |rowspan=2|Fricatives |Voiceless |'''F''' |'''S''' |'''Sr''' |'''Ç''' | |'''H''' |- |Voiced |'''V''' |'''Z''' |'''Zr''' |'''Jh''' | | |- |rowspan=2|Liquids |Lateral | |'''L''' |'''Lr''' |'''Ly''' | | |- |Non-lateral | |'''R''' |'''Rr''' | | | |- |colspan=2|Glides |'''W''' | | |'''Y''' | | |} === Vowels === Classical Blafu had four phonemic vowels, /i e a u/. The vowels can occur with one of three tones, level (unmarked), rising (marked with an acute) or falling (marked with a grave). === Syllables === Classical Blafu had a simple syllable structure. No closed syllables were permitted, no vowel sequences were permitted, and the only consonant clusters permitted were stop-liquid or stop-glide clusters. Clusters of dental stops plus r are distinguished from retroflex by the insertion of an apostrophe between the two consonants (e.g., t'r is /tr/, tr is /ʈ/) == Grammar == Classical Blafu is largely isolating, with little compounding or inflection, relying instead of syntax. === Inflections === The only inflections that existed in Classical Blafu were *Repetition (verbs): -nu === Syntax === Basic word order in Classical Blafu is subject verb object. Adjectives may precede or follow their heads, and prepositions are used. Alternately, subject object verb order can be used, with the direct object marked with the preposition ''makhe'' [[Category:Blafu]] [[Category:Conlangs|Blafu, Classical]] [[Category:Galhafan languages]] Anglo-Saxon 5135 55821 2010-09-06T04:08:38Z Blackkdark 1214 /* Nouns */ Anglo-Saxon or Old English (OE '''Englisc''') is the ancestor of [[Modern English]].

A large migration of Saxons, Frisians, Franks, Jutes and Angles later moved from modern Northern Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands to England. The next few centuries they expanded westward constantly and gained more land. The Anglo-Saxons then fought with the Romano-British people already living there until they owned most of Modern England. In the 9th and 10th centuries, Danish Vikings invaded the Northern parts of England. The [[Old Norse]] influence can still be seen today including things such as the pronoun '''they'''. The Dialects were split into 4 major ones: Northumbrian, Midlands, Kentish, and West Saxon. The majority of the texts we have are from the West Saxon region. The most well known text in Anglo-Saxon is that of the Heroic Epic, [[Beowulf]]. Old English literature is known for alliteration. There are many Anglo-Saxon riddles, religious documents, heroic tales, and poems. A chronicle known as the [[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]] was a chronicle of the events of the Kingdom, and was likely started in the 10th century and was continually updated into the 12th, although there are differences in the key Chronicle documents. There is no standard spelling in Anglo-Saxon, so many words had more than one spelling. =Orthography and Phonology= ==Runic== [[Image:Anglo-saxon runes.gif|thumb|right|Anglo-Saxon Runic alphabet]] Early forms of Anglo-Saxon writing was in [[Runic]]. It was an expansion of the original 24 rune Fuþark, and had become Fuþorc. Because the language had shifted to include new sounds, the alphabet itself shifted and included several new letters that had not been in the Elder Fuþark. However they did not develop the one Staff system similar to the runic designs in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. When the Latin Alphabet was introduced, Anglo-Saxon added two symbols to the Latin alphabet from Runic, those would be "þ" /[[Voiceless dental fricative|θ]]/ and "Ƿ" /[[Labial-velar approximant|w]]/ from runic, called Thorn and Wynn respectively. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod.||colspan=2| Inter-dental||colspan=2| Alveolar||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || m || || || || || || n || || || || || || ŋ |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || p || b || || || || || t || d || || || || || k || g || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || f || v || θ || ð || s || z || ʃ || (ʒ) || || ç || x || || h |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || || || (ʦ) || (ʣ) || ʧ || ʤ || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants & glides || ʍ || w || || || || || || || || || || j |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || ̥r || r || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || ̥l || l/ɫ |} </div> [[Image:Wynn.png|right|thumb|100px|'''Ƿƿ''' ''wynn'', Old&nbsp;English&nbsp;'''[[Labial-velar approximant|w]]''', which is missing in many Unicode fonts.]] * Placing '''h-''' before '''r''', '''l''', or '''w'''/'''ƿ''' yields the voiceless form of each sound /̥r ̥l ʍ/. * When '''c''', '''g''' or '''sc''' are next to a front vowel (most often '''i''' but '''e''' and '''y''' can affect it sometimes too) they become /ʧ j ʃ/ respectively. This is how words like '''gear''' became '''year'''. '''-g''' is often not pronounced or becomes part of a diphtong, such as '''dæg''' /daj/. When it ends with '''-ig''' it has a pronunciation of /-i/, dropping the '''g''' altogether. From this, [[Modern English]] gets the '''-y''' ending (like '''halig''' > '''holy''', '''sceadwig''' > '''shady''', '''manig''' > '''many''') * The diagraph '''cg''' is pronounced /ʤ/. * '''þ''' and '''ð''' is pronounced /θ/ except in the case below. * Fricatives, particularly '''f, þ/ð, s''' are voiceless most of the time /f θ s/, and are voiced intevocalically or adjacent to voiced consonants as /v ð z/.

From the Runic Alphabet. ===Vowels=== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- | ||colspan="2"|Front || Central || Back |- | || Unround || Rounded || Unrounded || Rounded |- | High || iː - i || yː - y || || uː - u |- | Mid || eː - e || || ə || oː - o |- | Low || æ || || aː/a |- | colspan="7"| All entries are: Tense - Lax |} </div> * With a macron the vowel becomes long. *'''ī''', '''ȳ''', '''ē''', '''ǣ''', '''ā''', '''ō''', and '''ū''' are pronounced /iː yː eː æː aː oː uː/ respectively. * Without a macron the vowels are short. * '''i''', '''y''', '''e''', '''æ''', '''a''', '''o''', and '''u''' are pronounced /i y e æ a o u/ or /ɪ ʏ ɛ æ ɔ ʊ/ respectively, depending on the source. * '''e''' at the end of a word, and unstressed often becomes /ə/. =Grammar= ==Nouns== <i> Main Article: [[Anglo-Saxon Nouns]] </i> ===Gender and Number=== There are there Genders in Old English: [[Masculine]], [[Feminine]], and [[Neuter]]. These are the same genders in [[Latin]], as well as modern [[Russian]] and [[High German|German]]. Like most languages which have genders, Nouns which reflect living things are usually indicated in the [[Gender]] of the noun, but a majority is completely random. The two numbers of Anglo-Saxon are [[Singular]] and [[Plural]]. Pronouns have the Dual number as well. ===Cases=== Unlike [[Modern English]], Anglo-Saxon was filled with noun inflections denoting the case of the noun. The only one that survived through the [[Middle English]] era was the '''-'s''' ending denoting the original Genitive case. The cases were [[Nominative]], [[Accusative]], [[Genitive]], and [[Dative]]. ===Strong and Weak=== Like with Verbs, Anglo-Saxon had many nouns which changed their stems, both in the plural and sometimes during some of the cases of the singular. These are the reasons for irregular nouns in [[Modern English]] with stem changes, such as Man-Men (AS Mann-Menn in Nom.). This is often how Anglo-Saxon nouns are categorized. ===Example charts=== '''Masculine:''' {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases ! Dæg¹ 'Day' ! Dagas 'Days' !

'''Neuter:''' {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases ! Scip⁴ 'Ship' ! Scipu 'Ships' ! Dēor⁵ 'Animal' ! Dēor 'Animals' |- | '''Nominative''' || scip || scipu || dēor || dēor |- | '''Genitive''' || scipes || scipa || dēores || dēora |- | '''Dative''' || scipe || scipum || dēore || dēorum |- | '''Accusative''' || scip || scipu || dēor || dēor |} ⁴'''Scip''' is pronounced the same way as the modern equivalent, '''Ship'''. <br> ⁵'''Dēor''', related to the German word '''Tier''' (animal), slowly became used for game animals, and later becomes '''Deer''' in Modern English. <br> * Note that both nouns are strong here. ==Articles== During the earlier ages of the Anglo-Saxon language, there were no articles. Later, especially after the Viking invasion and towards the end of the Anglo-Saxon era, articles were developed. They too declined by case and number, and included the [[Instrumental]] case, which was the same as Dative Nouns. This also includes the meaning of '''that''' in the demonstrative sense. Here are the articles: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases ! Masculine ! Feminine ! Neuter ! Plural (all Genders) |- | '''Nominative''' || sē || sēo || ðæt || ðā |- | '''Genitive''' || ðæs || ðǣre || ðæs || ðāra, ðǣra |- | '''Dative''' || ðǣm || ðǣre || ðǣm || ðǣm, ðām |- | '''Accusative''' || ðone|| ðā || ðæt || ðā |- | '''Instrumental''' || ðē, ðon || ðǣre || ðē, ðon || ðǣm, ðām |} ==Personal Pronouns== Personal pronouns in Anglo-Saxon are quite different than Modern English. They too are declined according to the four major cases, but also have an extra number illustration when there 2, [[Dual]]. With the dual, the verbs take the plural endings, and it only applies to the first and second person pronouns. Here are the Charts for the Pronouns: <br> '''First person:''' {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases ! Singular ! Dual !

Because one adjective has to cover all three genders, two numbers, and four (five with the Strong) cases, there are more adjective forms than there are any other part of speech, with the possible exception of the verb. They too have Strong and Weak forms and can have root vowel stems which are umlauted. The plurals of the Weak forms are uniform across genders, but not in the Strong forms. The same adjective could be Weak or Strong depending on context and the noun. ===Examples=== '''Gōd = Good''' <br> '''Weak''': {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases !

The Strong forms usually involve vowel shifts in the stem, even in the present tense. It is also inflected based on [[person]], [[number]], [[tense]], and [[mood]]. It is known for having -st in the second person, which was used for '''thou''' in the [[Middle English]] era. It is also used in [[High German|German]] for the '''du''' form, which is the cognate to '''þū''' and '''thou''' (which is also a cognate to [[Latin]] '''tu'''). [[Anglo-Saxon Verbs]] are known for the signature -ð/-þ ending in the 3rd person singular, which was also used into the [[Early Modern English]] era, which [[Shakespeare]] is apart of, examples from that era include the words: hath, goeth, doth, knoweth, etc. The infinitive ending is commonly '''-an''' or '''-en''', which is similar to the modern [[High German|German]] '''-en''' infinitive ending. Also the orthographic cognate '''ge-''' is used in both German and Anglo-Saxon to represent the past tense, even if they are not pronounced the same way, and in Standard [[High German]], the prefix is required, whereas the Anglo-Saxon one is more optional. The [[Weak]] past tense marker inserts '''-ed-''', whereas the [[Strong]] past tense usually involves a vowel change. Although Anglo-Saxon did have the Subjunctive and Imperative, the examples shall be focused on the Present and Past tenses. ==='''Weak Examples'''=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Lufian''' to love || colspan="2" align="center"| '''Fremman''' to do |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || lufie || lufiað || fremme || fremmað |- | '''2nd person''' || lufast || lufiað || fremest || fremmað |- | '''3rd person''' || lufað || lufiað || fremeð || fremmað |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Past tense''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || lufode || lufodon || fremede || fremedon |- | '''2nd person''' || lufodest || lufodon || fremedest || fremedon |- | '''3rd person''' || lufode || lufodon || fremede || fremedon |} ==='''Strong Examples'''=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Singan''' to sing || colspan="2" align="center"| '''Niman''' to take |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || singe || singað || nime || nimað |- | '''2nd person''' || singest || singað || nimest || nimað |- | '''3rd person''' || singeð || singað || nimeð || nimað |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Past Tense''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || sang || sungon || nam || nāmon |- | '''2nd person''' || sunge || sungon || nāme || nāmon |- | '''3rd person''' || sang || sungon || nam|| nāmon |} ==='''The Verb <i> Bēon <i> and <i> Wesan <i>'''=== There are two forms of the verb <i>[[to be]]<i> in Anglo-Saxon.

Your involvement is appreciated. --[[User:Pisceesumsprecan|Pisceesumsprecan]] 08:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC) Again, thanks for the links on my (New) West Germanic page. Feel free to keep adding them where you've created relevant articles. I take it for granted that people are familiar with Germanic languages and it's nice for someone reading my grammar to be able to click on something for further explanation. Hey, I just wanted to say that in the [[New High German]] article you wrote: <br> '''Der Mann, den ich gestern sah, ist gelassen. <br> '''(The man, whom I yesterday saw, left.) <br> '''Instead of; The man, whom I saw yesterday, left. <br> <Gelassen sein> means something like "to be cool, unhurried, calm". I think you mean <ist gegangen> instead of that. I don't want to change it as it seems to be a quote from your site, but notice that it is kind of wrong. =) * I think I was going for past tense Lassen "to leave" and using sein since that's used with verbs of motion. I do see your point and will correct it. The source material isn't that important, but was written years ago.

There are exceptions such as '''singer''' /'''sɪŋəɹ'''/ vs. '''finger''' /'''fɪŋgəɹ'''/ which obviously don't rhyme. * The inter-dental sounds are spelt '''th''' for both voicings, although it is always devoiced before /ɹ/. * The sound /ʒ/ occurs in [[French]] loanwords (written as '''j''') or is represented by an inter-vocal orthographic '''s''', with examples such such as mea'''s'''ure or A'''s'''ia. * The sound /ʤ/ occurs from an orthographic '''j''', or the '''g''' in the combinations '''gi''' and '''ge''', although the latter two sometimes retain hard /g/ pronunciations from [[Old English]], such as give /gɪv/ and get /gɛt/. * The alveolar affricates usually occur as clusters /t d/ + /s z/, but can be occasionally found in loanwords, or dialectally for /s z/ before /n/. * The '''c''' in the spellings '''ci''' and '''ce''' has the sound /s/, unless it is from an '''Old English''' root, such as celt /kɜlt/. * * The inter-dentals are replaced by several other pairings in many dialects, some of the replacing sounds are: /d, t/, /f, v/ /s, z/. * The Standard American value of the rhotic consonant /r/ is the approximate [ɹ] which also involves a bit of lip rounding, leading to some children substituting /w/ for /ɹ/ in early stages of development. The trill [r] is preserved in a few British and Scottish<!--redundant, Scotland *is* in Britain--> dialects. ==Vowels== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- | |||Front || Central || Back |- | || Unround || Unrounded || Rounded |- | High || iː - ɪ || || uː - ʊ |- | Mid || eː - ɛ || ə/ʌ || oː - ɔ |- | Low || æ || aː/a |- | colspan="7"| All entries are: Tense - Lax |} </div> * '''ee''' is most often pronounced /iː/. * '''i''' is /ɪ/ or /aj/ (with S.e). * '''y''' is pronounced /aj/ most of the time, occasionally /ɪ/, and when in the final position it's pronounced /i/. * '''ai''' or '''a''' (with S.e) is often pronounced /eː/ or /ei/. * '''a''' in a words (without S.e) is pronounced /æ/ in most American dialects and sometimes /a/ in British ones. * '''o''' is pronounced /a/ in [[Standard American]] and /ɔ/ in [[British RP]]. * In words which do have S.e, the letter '''o''' have a pronunciation of /oː/. * '''oo''' is either pronounced /uː/ or /ʊ/. * '''u''' is pronounced /uː/ (with S.e) or /ʌ/. * /ə/ is used for most unstressed syllables. ===Diphthongs=== * '''oy''' and '''oi''' are pronounced /oj/. * '''ie''', '''y''', '''igh''', and '''i''' or '''y''' with '''the Silent e''' are pronounced /aj/. * '''ow''' or '''ou''' is pronounced /aw/. * '''ei''' is often pronounced /ei/ and sometimes /aj/. * '''ow''' is sometimes pronounced /ow/ rather than /aw/. It should be noted that these vary greatly across dialects. This is a simplified version based on '''British RP''' and '''Standard American'''. ===The Silent e=== Vowels in an English word are often affected by [[The Silent e]] abbreviated here as S.e, or a final '''-e''' at the end of a word. The e used to pronounced as a schwa /ə/ in Middle English, but was affectively dropped in most cases by the [[Early Modern English]] era. However, sometimes the S.e itself does not have to be present in order for its effects to be seen. Sometimes a whole syllable can replace S.e. Take a word like '''realize''' /rilajz/, when you change the '''-e''' to '''-ation''' you have '''realization''' /rilajzeʃjən/ or in not careful speech /riləzeʃjən/. =Grammar= ==Articles== There are two articles in the English language, one definite and one indefinite. They are used in specific ways, sometimes unique to English, sometimes they are used in the generic meaning of [[definite]] and [[indefinite]]. The definite article is '''the''' and the indefinite article is '''a''' or '''an''' before a word starting with a vowel <i> sound <i>. This means that it must be a vowel sound, not orthographic vowel. Examples that might seem strange would be : '''An honest''' decision, An hour, BUT: a universe, a unicorn, a use (many uni- words in English are pronounced /juni-/ with a consonantal /j/ not an initial vowel. ==Nouns== English nouns have four forms, descended from the [[Anglo-Saxon]] declension system. There are two numbers, singular and plural, and there is one case which distinguishes itself from the other forms. That would be the [[Genitive]] which has the ending '''-'s''' and sometimes '''-'''' in the singular and '''-'''' in the plural. The common way to form the plural in English is addition of '''-s''' or '''-es''' (if the word ends with '''-sh''', '''-ch''', '''-s''', '''-z''' or '''-x'''. If the word ends with a '''-y''' the plural is usually '''-ies'''. A common noun such as '''ship''' or '''glass''' might look as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" ! ! '''Sing.''' ! '''Plur.''' ! '''Sing.''' ! '''Plur.''' |- | '''Nom.''' || ship || ships || glass || glasses |- | '''Gen.''' || ship's || ships' || glass's || glasses' |} There are many irregular nouns in English, most of which come from Old English, although a few come from Latin and French. Some require stem changes, such as '''man''' to '''men''', '''mouse''' to '''mice''', or '''foot''' to '''feet'''. There are some patterns, and a few are rooted in Germanic words such as '''child''' to '''children''' and '''ox''' to '''oxen'''. Many animal nouns have plural forms which are the same as the singular forms, such as '''sheep''', '''deer''', and '''fish'''. Some nouns are completely irregular and have to memorized, such as '''die''' and '''dice'''. It should be noted that with words like '''Woman''' versus '''Women''' the difference in pronunciation is in the first vowel, not the second. Latin based nouns often have Latin plurals or two plurals (one Latin ending, and another Standard English ending). There are also many '''group''' nouns which are always plural. There are some plural nouns which have plural forms, '''group''' & '''groups''', '''people''' & '''peoples'''. ===Gender=== English does not have Grammatical Gender like many other languages, but some of the nouns do reflect a system of endings which indicate gender. The common masculine ending is '''-er''' or '''-or''', although these often can indicate either gender in modern society. The common feminine ending is to add '''-ess''' to the end of the masculine form. Examples include: '''waiter''' vs. '''waitress''', '''actor''' vs. '''actress''', '''lion''' vs. '''lioness''', '''duke''' vs. '''duchess''', '''prince''' vs. '''princess'''. Other pairings are different because they may come from different stems. These include: '''king''' vs. '''queen''', '''brother''' vs. '''sister''', '''father'''' vs. '''mother''', '''husband''' vs. '''wife''', '''(brides)groom''' vs. '''bride''', '''uncle''' vs. '''aunt''', '''son''' vs. '''daughter'''. It should be noted that words ending with the suffix '''-man''' do NOT reflect a masculine person, but rather the Germanic root which means '''one'''. So a '''Spokesman''' is not a '''man who speaks''', but '''one who speaks''', etc. ==Personal Pronouns== There are two major cases for [[Personal Pronouns]] in English, Subjective and Objective (Nominative and Accusative). There is a possessive form, similar to an Genitive form, as well as an adjective form of that. There is only one second person form in Modern English, although all previous stages had a second person form, leading to '''thou''' in [[Early Modern English]]. The third person singular pronoun does separate out by gender. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! colspan="1" align="center"|Case ! colspan="2" align="center"|First Person ! Second Person ! colspan="4" align="center"|Third Person |- | || Sing. || Plur. || Sing. & Plur. || Sing. Masc. || Sing. Fem. || Sing.

Adjectives do not take any endings, unlike the adjectives of [[Anglo-Saxon]], [[Old French]], [[Latin]], [[Old Norse]]. To form the [[Adverb]] form of an Adjective is created by adding the ending '''-ly'''. An example might be: Happy, Happily. Adverbs can be placed at different locations in a sentence. [[Prescriptive]] grammar says that a verb infinitive cannot be split by an adverb, but most speaker do it and [[Descriptive]] grammar allows it. It should be noted that not all adverbs have an '''-ly''' ending, such as: very, tomorrow, yesterday, fast, today, well, etc. There are some cases when the adjective can become an adverb without the ending, usually when the adverb is at the end of the sentence, such as: He hit me very '''hard'''. ==Prepositions and Conjunctions== There are many Prepositions in English, and because English does not have a case system, the prepositions often take the place of the case system. English is an [[Isolating]] language partly in this way. Prepositions describe loction (under, on, in) direction (into, towards, to) time (after, during, before) and other things. <br> <br> However, many idiomatic phrases are constructed using prepositions and many of these must be memorized and do not have a pattern or reason. Expressions like: '''On TV''', '''In your head''', '''Out of (outta) my mind''', etc. <br> <br> There are also Verbal expressions which have prepositionals added to them. This is common amongst many [[Germanic]] languages. English separates these phrases and the meanings are different for these expressions from the solo verb. An example such as: '''to make''' vs. '''to make up''' vs. '''to make out'''. or '''to find''' vs. '''to find out'''. <br> Conjunctions have several generic types. <br> The first type is the [[Coordinating Conjunctions]]. These include '''and''', '''yet''', '''so''', '''for''' '''or''', '''nor''' and '''but'''. It is used for lists and to connect two phrases or sentences. <br> <br> The next type is the [[Correlative Conjunctions]]. These come in pairing such as '''Neither...nor''' or '''Either...or'''. <br> <br> The last type is [[Subordinating Conjunctions]]. These are the conjunctions which combine independent and dependent clauses. Often the clauses can be transported to other parts of the sentence for emphasis. Some of these include '''because''', '''if''', '''although''', '''after''', and '''once'''. ==Verbs== <i> Main Page: [[Modern English Verbs]] <i> ===Present Tense=== The Present tense is useful for describing different parts of events that are currently happening. However, the rules are rather tricky and often confusing for non-native speakers. The conjugation of almost any verb in English has the pattern of being the same in all numbers and person, except the third person singular, which adds '''-s''' or '''-es''' to the stem. The ending '''-es''' occurs if the verb stem ends with '''-sh''', '''-ch''', '''-s''', '''-z''' or '''-x'''. If the verb ends with a '''-y''' the third person singular usually ends with '''-ies'''. The [[Modals]] do not take this ending, and a few other verbs have vowel or consonant stem changes in this tense, such as do /du/ to does /dʌz/, say /se/ to says /sɜz/ or have /hæv/ to has /hæz/. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to learn''' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''to guess''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to sing''' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''to go''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || learn || learn || guess || guess || sing || sing || go || go |- | '''2nd person''' || learn || learn || guess || guess || sing || sing || go || go |- | '''3rd person''' || learns || learn || guesses || guess || sings || sing || goes || go |} ====Progressive==== The progressive tense in English is used to describe things that are happening at the moment of the speech act. This is formed by using a form of the verb '''to be''' and adding '''-ing''' to the verb stem. A few verbs which end with the /aj/ sound replace the orthographic vowel for '''-y-''' at the end of the verb stem ('''lie''' vs. '''lying''', '''die''' vs. '''dying'''). The examples in the Progressive form are as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Progressive tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to learn''' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''to guess''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to sing''' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''to go''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || am learning || are learning || am guessing || are guessing || am singing || are singing || am going || are going |- | '''2nd person''' || are learning || are learning || are guessing || are guessing || are singing || are singing || are going || are going |- | '''3rd person''' || is learning || are learning || is guessing || are guessing || is singing || are singing || is going || are going |} ====Emphatic==== The Emphatic part of the present tense is used for emphasis, negation, questions and in some British dialects it is used a lot in the imperative. It is formed with the verb '''to do'''. An example might be: <br> Present tense: '''I sing in the chorus.''' <br> Emphatic Present: '''I <i>do<i> sing in the chorus.''' <br> =====Negation and Questions===== In English, negative statements and '''yes or no''' questions also get the verb '''to do''' and are put into this category as well. Take these: <br> Question: '''Do you sing in the chorus?''' <br> Negation: '''I don't sing in the chorus.''' (or) '''I do not sing in the chorus.''' <br> Both: '''Don't you sing in the chorus?''' <br> In [[Early Modern English]] and archaic sounding Modern English, the adverb '''not''' could be placed after the main acting verb. This would lead to: <br> Archaic: '''I sing not in the chorus.''' <br> In response to questions which use the emphatic form, usually a yes or no comes, but an emphatic answer is allowed: <br> Question: '''Do you sing in the chorus?''' <br> Answer: '''(yes,) I do'''. <br> =====Emphatic Imperatives===== In most forms of English, [[General American]] amongst them, the only emphatic form which comes into the imperative is the negative. This leads to expressions like: <br> '''Don't sing right now.''' <br> '''Don't go into the forest.''' <br> In some British dialects, the positive emphatic is used in the imperative. Take examples such as: <br> '''Do have yourself something to eat.''' <br> '''Do come in.''' <br> '''Do sit down.''' <br> ===Future Tense=== There are three basic ways to talk about future events in English. The first is the present tense and an adverb of time (such as '''I leave tomorrow.'''). The second is using the verb '''to be''' with a verb infinitive (such as '''I am to leave.'''). The last way is to use the verb '''shall''' or '''will'''. Although in [[Middle English]] and [[Anglo-Saxon]] there was a distinction between these two verbs, now they mean the same thing. The verb '''shall''' has become more archaic, although its more acceptable to use with the first person ('''I shall, we shall'''), and in America the negative form '''shan't''' is rarely heard. The examples will have the mix with the first person having '''shall''' although it is common to have both used in general. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Future tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to learn''' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''to guess''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to sing''' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''to go''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || shall learn || shall learn || shall guess || shall guess || shall sing || shall sing || shall go || shall go |- | '''2nd person''' || will learn || will learn || will guess || will guess || will sing || will sing || will go || will go |- | '''3rd person''' || will learn || will learn || will guess || will guess || will sing || will sing || will go || will go |} ===Simple Past=== For regular verbs, the simple past is formed by adding '''-ed''' to the root. If the root already ends in '''e''' then the ending is only '''-d'''. For irregular verbs, there are several possible ways to form this tense. Some involve vowel changes, and others change forms completely. Some irregulars could be '''drive-drove''' or '''think-thought'''. Two of the sample verbs are irregular: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Future tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to learn''' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''to guess''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to sing''' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''to go''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || learned || learned || guessed || guessed || sang || sang || went¤ || went |- | '''2nd person''' || learned || learned || guessed || guessed || sang || sang || went || went |- | '''3rd person''' || learned || learned || guessed || guessed || sang || sang || went || went |} ¤The past tense of the verb '''to go''' is '''went''' because in older forms of English there were two verbs that meant '''to go''': '''goon''' and '''wenden'''. Eventually they merged and the forms from '''wenden''' became part of the past tense. ===Perfect Tense=== The Perfect tense is formed in regular verbs in a way that is very similar to the Passive Voice and the Simple Past. For irregular verbs it can be various different things from a vowel stem change to a complete change in form. For all verbs in the Perfect tense (either Present Perfect or Past Perfect) there must be form of the verb '''to have'''. Some irregulars take the Germanic '''-(e)n''' ending that is in [[High German]] as well as older forms of English. These include '''take-taken''', '''prove-proven'''. '''steal-stolen''', '''know-known''', '''see-seen''', '''break-broken''', amongst many others. Here are the samples (of which '''sing''' and '''go''' are irregular) in this tense: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Future tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to learn''' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''to guess''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to sing''' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''to go''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || have learned || have learned || have guessed || have guessed || have sung || have sung || have gone || have gone |- | '''2nd person''' || have learned || have learned || have guessed || have guessed || have sung || have sung || have gone || have gone |- | '''3rd person''' || has learned || have learned || has guessed || have guessed || has sung || have sung || has gone || have gone |} ===Subjunctive and Imperative=== The subjunctive in English is nearly dead, though a few dialects still preserve it. The subjunctive has often been replaced by the [[conditional]] case. Some expressions still have the subjunctive, such as: <br> If I '''were''' president, I would fix this economy. (instead of '''was''') <br> He wishes it '''were''' different than it is. (instead of '''was''') <br> It is imperative that he '''be''' read to leave when they get here. (instead of '''is''') <br> Because the subjunctive uses the simple past tense of the verb, it is often impossible to show the difference between them. The verb '''to be''' which has an irregular past tense is where the subjunctive can still be seen. <br> The Imperative in English is formed simply by using the root of the verb, or the verb formed used in the infinitive. The uses of the negative imperative are mentioned above (don't). There is no difference in number for the imperative. The first person plural form of the imperative is always formed by adding '''let's''' at the beginning. This is the example using the verb '''to go''': <br> Go to the store and get me something to eat. <br> Don't go into that field. <br> Let's go to the movies tonight. <br> ===Passive=== The passive voice is also formed with the verb '''to be'''. Unlike of the progressive, the passive uses Present Perfect form of the verb. It is not usually preferred and often is changed into the active voice. A pairing might be: <br> '''The man hit the ball.''' (active) <br> '''The ball was hit by the man.''' (passive) <br> The sample verbs are as follows: <br> {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Future tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to learn''' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''to guess''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to sing''' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''to go''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || am learned || are learned || am guessed || are guessed || am sung || are sung || am gone || are gone |- | '''2nd person''' || are learned || are learned || are guessed || are guessed || are sung || are sung || are gone || are gone |- | '''3rd person''' || is learned || are learned || is guessed || are guessed || is sung || are sung || is gone || are gone |} ===The Verb <i>to be<i> & <i>to have<i>=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''to be''' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''to have''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || am || are || have || have |- | '''2nd person''' || are || are || have || have |- | '''3rd person''' || is || are || has || have |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Simple Past''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || was || were || had || had |- | '''2nd person''' || were || were || had || had |- | '''3rd person''' || was || were || had || had |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Perfect Form''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || have been || have been || have had || have had |- | '''2nd person''' || have been || have been || have had || have had |- | '''3rd person''' || has been || have been || has had || have had |} ===Modals=== Modals are important in English. However, there are no standard infinitive forms and are often replaced with other expressions. Here is a listing of them that has been over simplified: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Infinitive''' || to be allowed || to be able || to have to || to be supposed to || to possibly be || to want |- | '''Modal''' || may || can || must, ought || should || could, might || would |} * '''Might''' is a form of '''may'''. * '''Would''' is a form of '''will'''. * '''Should''' is a form of '''shall'''. * '''Could''' is a form of '''can'''. * The expression '''would like''' is similar to '''to want'''. =Languages based on English= ==[[Creole]]s and natural descendants== *[[Tok Pisin]] *[[Scots]] *[[Hawai'ian Creole]], also known as '''Hawai'ian Pidgin''' *[[Spanglish]] *[[Gullah]] ==Constructed languages== *[[Volapük]] (with other sources) ---- =Alternative Scripts for Modern English= [[Tower Orthography]] <br> [[Krisauka]] <br> =Sources= Page written by [[Timothy Patrick Snyder]]. =Translations= [[Category:Germanic natlangs]] [[Category:Real Language background pages]] [[Category:Linguistics]] Talk:Latin 5145 31939 2008-05-28T21:13:58Z Blackkdark 1214 hey, I'd like to add <nowiki>[[Category:Real Language background pages]]</nowiki> to this page. - [[user:Blackkdark|Blackkdark]] :You can add categories anytime.

Xenogenesis theory 5146 42064 2009-01-21T04:21:21Z Christina 18 The '''Xenogenesis Theory''' grew out of evolutionary theory, and proposed that [[humans (Galhaf)|humans]], along with the other [[neoanimalia|"new" animals]] and the [[neoplantae|"new" plants]] had originated outside of [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]. The terms "new" animals and "new" plants referrred to species that appeared quite suddenly in the fossil record, with no predecessors, and major anatomical differences with the "old" plants and animals. This eventually provided the basis for the "world" level in the [[Galhafan Biological Taxonomy|standard taxonomy]].

Only a small number of animals were brought by humanity in colonizing [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]. The kingdom is defined rather more broadly than on Earth, including the related [[neofungi]] as a superphylum. This incorporation occurred after the [[paleofungi]] were found to be a polyphyletic group, and its members scattered among multiple kingdoms. Given the sparse knowledge of Earth life, it was impossible to determine what the boundaries of the animal kingdom were, and as molecular studies showed a close relationship between neoanimals and neofungi, it was assumed that, like the [[astomata]] in [[paleoanimalia]], neofungi had, likewise, grown out of the neoanimalia. The name "neofungi" has survived, although some suggest dropping the neo- prefix, or replacing it with "neoastomata" (and changing astomata to paleoastomata). Thus, in terrestrial terms, neoanimalia is actually equivalent to the [[Wikipedia:clade|clade]] [[Wikipedia:Opisthokont|Opisthokont]]. In the earliest taxonomies, both neofungi and paleofungi were included in the "plantae" kingdom. A "fungi" kingdom had already been split off before the recognition of the world level, which created the neofungi-paleofungi distinction. == Phyla == *[[Dorsoneuralia]] (Vertebrates) *[[Tritagmata]] (Insects) === Superphylum [[Neofungi]] === [[Category:Terrestrial Animals of Galhaf|*]] Symbiota 5154 44177 2009-03-16T19:23:42Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Galhafanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Symbiota}} |} The '''Symbiota''' (''Çéná rèpyù'', "Complex Eggs") is a [[Galhafan Biological Taxonomy|domain]] within the [[Biology of the Chihazh System|Galhafan World]]. It is characterized by extreme symbiosis, hence the name. The ancestors of the symbiota were communities of symbiotic unicellular organisms. The crucial step that lead to the development of the true symbiota was the development of the '''multinucleated gamete''', a special reproductive cell that contained nuclei of all the component cells. In modern symbiota, the gametes remain multinucleated, but after fertilization, the first few cellular divisions do not involve divisions of the nuclei, instead, each cell acquires half the nuclei, until all the cells are mononucleated, at which point, further division involves duplication of nuclei. Different organ systems within a symbiotan contain different cell-lines. Some degree of horizontal gene transfer has occurred between these cell-lines, but they remain genetically distinct. Parasitic cell-lines are found in many symbiota, but there appears to be some unknown mechanism for recognizing these parasites, as non are more than a few million years old. Many groups of symbiotans have incorporated further endosymbiotes, causing symbiotan phylogeny to be very complex and difficult to easily divide into distinct groups. == Kingdoms == *[[Pseudoplantae]] *[[Pseudoanimalia]] [[Category:Galhafan Biology]] Talk:English 5155 32062 2008-05-30T05:32:58Z Blackkdark 1214 New page: I'm going to change this to an Overview of English, I'm going to move all of the stuff here to [[Modern English]].

In the North, a large dialect is often acknowledged as a separate West Germanic language known as [[Low German]]. Low German and its close relative [[Dutch]] are known for only going through the fourth stage of the [[High German Consonant Shift]], which separates High German from most other West Germanic languages. ==List of German Dialects, Forms, and Offshots== *Standard German **[[Old High German]] '''†''' **[[Middle High German]] '''†''' **[[Early New High German]] '''†''' **[[New High German]] *German dialect groups *'''High German''' **''[[Upper German]]'' ***[[Alemannic]] ***[[Bavarian]] ***South Franconian ***East Franconian **''Central German'' ***West Central German ****Central Franconian *****Ripuarian *****Moselle Franconian ******Luxembourgish (official language of Luxembourg, standardized) ****Rhine Franconian *****Lorraine Franconian *****Palatinate German *****Hessian ****East Central German *****Berlin-Brandenburgish *****Thuringian *****Upper Saxon *****Silesian *****High Prussian **'''Low German''' ***''[[Low Saxon]]'' ****[[Old Saxon]] (Old Low German) '''†''' ****[[Middle Low German]] '''†''' ****Schleswigisch ****Holsteinisch ****Northern Low Saxon ****East Frisian Low Saxon ****Westphalian ****Eastphalian ***''East Low German'' ****Mecklenbugisch-Vorpommersch ****Brandenburgisch ***''Low Franconian'' ****Southern Low Franconian ****Ostbergisch ****(Old Dutch) '''†''' ****(Middle Dutch) '''†''' ****([[Dutch|Standart Dutch]]) ****(South Guelderish) ****(Limburgish) ****(Brabantian) ****(East Flemish) ****(Zeelandic) ****(West Flemish) ****([[Afrikaans]]) [[Category:Germanic natlangs]] High German 5161 46003 2009-06-12T16:02:04Z Blackkdark 1214 /* Word Order */ High German, or Hochdeutsch, (the stage is called '''New High German''') is the name of the standard form of Modern German. It is a [[West Germanic]] and is related to [[Low German]], [[Dutch]], and [[Anglo-Saxon]]/[[Modern English]]. Today it is the official language of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein. {{Language| | English = High German | native = HochDeutsch | dialect english = | country = Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein | nativecountry = Deutschland, Schweiz, Österreich, Liechtenstein | universe = Real world | speakers = 105 million | family = [[Indo-European]] | branch = [[Germanic]] | subbranch = [[West Germanic]] <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[German ]] | wordorder = SVO, OVS/V<sub>2</sub> | type = inflecting | alignment = nominative-accusative | author = unknown | date = 1800-Present C.E. | background = white | headingbg = coral | width = 33% }} =Outline of the History of High German= High German has 4 primary written stages, similar to [[English]]. The four stages are as follows: * '''[[Old High German]]''' * '''[[Middle High German]]''' * '''[[Early New High German]]''' * '''New High German''' The last stage is the Modern German of today. =Difference between High and [[Low German]]= High German differs from other West German languages such as [[Low German]], [[Modern English|English]], and [[Dutch]] in that High German when through the [[High German Consonant Shift]]. The High German Consonant Shift (or HGCS) is the sound shift where; # Non-geminated voicless [[Stop|stops]] became [[Fricative|fricatives]], # Geminated, [[Nasal|nasal]]-adjacent and [[Liquid|liquid]]-adjacent voiceless [[Stop|stops]] became [[Affricate|affricates]], # Voiced stops became voiceless stops, and finally # All interdental fricatives (/[[Voiced dental fricative|ð]]/ and /[[Voiceless dental fricative|θ]]/) became the dental stop and/or Alveolar stop /[[Voiced dental stop|d̻]]/ and /[[Voiced alveolar stop|d]]/. <br> The last stage was shared by [[Low German]] and [[Dutch]]. All of these stages occur in the Highest of High German dialects, but Standard High German does not have all of them. The shift of /k/>/kx/ in stage 2 did not occur in the standard, although it did in [[Upper German]] dialects, such as [[Bavarian|Southern Bavarian]]. Also the only part of stage 3 which actually became part of standard '''High German''' was /d/>/t/. The other two happened only in the '''Highest of High German''' or '''Upper German''' dialects =Orthography= High German is written with the Latin alphabet. It has extra letters which represent some of the sounds of the German language, which are not otherwise found in the [[Roman alphabet|Latin alphabet]]. These include '''Ö ö, Ü ü, Ä ä, ß'''. =Phonology= ==Consonants== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod.||colspan=2| Alveolar||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || {{IPA|s}} || {{IPA|z}} || {{IPA|ʃ}} || (ʒ) || || ç || {{IPA|x}} || || {{IPA|h}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || pf || || {{IPA|ʦ}} || || {{IPA|ʧ}} || (ʤ) || || || (kx) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} </div> * The diagraph '''ch''' is /x/ after a back vowel, and /ç/ elsewhere. * '''v''' and '''f''' are (usually) both pronounced /f/, and '''w''' is pronounced /v/. * /ŋ/ occurs as '''ng''' and /ŋk/ is '''nk'''. * '''sch''' is pronounced /ʃ/.

There are three genders and two numbers in High German. The three genders are [[Masculine]], [[Feminine]], and [[Neuter]], and the numbers are [[Singular]] and [[Plural]]. Usually all forms of the Plural are the same, when it comes to adjectives and articles. ===Case=== In German, there are four cases, [[Nominative]], [[Accusative]], [[Genitive]], and [[Dative]]. These affect articles, pronouns, adjectives, and nouns. The prepositions of German also affect whether an phrase is genitive, dative, or accusative. ==Articles== There are [[definite articles]] and [[indefinite articles]] in German as well as in [[Modern English|English]]. Articles are affected by [[Case|case]], [[Gender|gender]], and [[Number|number]]. The plural is the same across the genders. ===Definite=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases ! Masculine ! Feminine ! Neuter !

The ending of a noun is usually helpful in figuring out which gender a noun is, although it is not always the case. Also, the first letter all German nouns is always capitalized. ===Genders of Nouns=== * Masculine ** Nouns ending with '''-en''' are usually masculine (that are not derived from verbs). Ex. Der Garten, der Norden. ** Nouns ending '''-er''' are usually masculine. Ex. Der Lehrer, die Amerikaner ** Nouns ending with '''-ismus''' are masculine. Ex. Der Feminismus, Der Kommunismus, * Feminine ** To convert masculine nouns ending to feminine, add '''-in''' to it. Ex. Die Lehrer'''in''', Die Freund'''in'''. ** Most nouns ending with '''-e'''. Ex. Die Frage, Die Straße, ** Nouns ending with '''-ion, -ik, -ie, -unft, -tät, -ei, -heit, -keit, -schaft,''' and '''-ung''' are almost always feminine. Ex. Die Logik, Die Magie, Die Universität, Die Vorlesung, Die Gesundheit, etc. * Neuter ** Young living beings are Neuter. Ex. Das Kind, Das Lamm, Das Baby, ** The ending '''-chen''' and '''-lein''' are diminutives and are always neuter. Ex. Das Mädchen, Das Märchen. <br> '''-lein''' is used more in the south than in the north, so it's less common in the standard form of German. <br> ** Metals and infinitive-nouns are always neuter. Ex. Das Gold, Das Metall, Das Singen, Das Essen, ===Forming the Plural=== The formation of the plural is different for many different nouns. The idea of the Umlaut is important in forming the plural as well. *For monosyllabic words, the plural is usually for by adding '''-e''' in the masculine and feminine and '''-er''' in some neuter nouns. *For Polysyllabic masculine and neuter nouns, many take no ending, but most others take '''-e''' as an ending. *For most Polysyllabic feminine nouns that end with '''-e''', '''-er''' or '''-el''', the ending is '''-n''' or '''-en'''. If the ending is '''-in''' then the total ending is '''-innen'''. *Foreign words (except those from Latin) and new words usually take the ending '''-s'''. ===Noun Declensions=== There are many different kinds of German Nouns. Here are a few fully declined ones: <br> '''Masculine:''' <br> {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases ! Tag 'Day' ! Tage 'Days' ! Apfel 'Apple' !

The adverb form is usually the same as the nominative masculine form of the adjective. The Word Order for Adverbs usually follows a pattern of the ordering of 1. Time, 2. Manner, and 3. Place. This means '''Gut''' in German can mean both '''well''' and '''good'''. There are other words which are strictly adverbs, such as '''sehr''', which means '''very'''. ==Prepositions== Prepositions are classified by the cases that follow them. Some have the accusative case follow, some the dative, and some the genitive. However some take either accusative or dative, based on whether or not it is a there is motion involved. ===Accusative=== bis - until, as far as <br> durch - through, by means of <br> entlang - along, down <br> für - for <br> gegen - against, around <br> ohne - without <br> um - around <br> ===Dative=== aus - out of, from, made of, <br> außer - at, <br> bei - at, near, with, <br> gegenüber von - opposite, across from, <br> mit - with <br> nach - to, after, according to, <br> seit - since, for a period of time, <br> von - from, of, by <br> zu - to <br> ===Accusative and Dative=== an - on, to go to, <br> auf - on, to, in, at <br> hinter - behind, <br> in - in, into, to, <br> neben - next to, beside, <br> über - over, above, across, <br> unter - under, <br> vor - in front of, before <br> zwischen - between, <br> ===Genitive=== anstatt - instead of, <br> statt - instead of, <br> trotz - in spite of <br> während - during <br> wegen - because of, <br> ==Conjunctions== There are different conjunctions which affect a sentence in different ways. [[Coordinating Conjunction]]s usually do not affect the word or of a German sentence, whereas [[Subordinating Conjunction]]s usually involve the transposed word order mentioned below. ===Coordinating Conjunctions=== aber - but <br> denn - because, for <br> oder - or <br> sondern - but, rather, <br> und - and <br> ===Subordinating Conjunctions=== als, wann, wenn - when <br> bevor - before <br> bis - until <br> da - since, <br> damit - so that, <br> dass - that <br> ob - whether, if <br> obwohl - although <br> seit - since <br> während - while <br> weil - because <br> wenn - if <br> ==Verbs== <i> Main Page: [[High German Verbs]] <i> <br> German Verbs have two major subdivisions, [[Strong]] and [[Weak]]. German verbs are conjugated according to 3 [[Person|persons]], 2 [[Number|numbers]], 2 inflecting [[Tense|tenses]], and 3 [[Mood|moods]], although German is rather intermediate when it comes to verbal inflection. The [[German Strong Verbs]] often have some patterns and classifications which are used for identifying them. The [[infinitive]] of a verb is formed by adding '''-en''' to the end. The [[imperative]] is formed, in the 2nd person singular informal by only the verb stem, the 2nd person plural informal is formed by adding '''-t''' to the stem. The 2nd personal formal is formed by adding '''-en''' to the stem and adding '''Sie''' afterwards. The "let's" or first person plural imperative is formed by adding '''-en''' and '''wir''' after words or, as in English, with the imperative of '''lassen''' and '''uns'''. Examples: Verb: Gehen - to go <br> '''Geh nach Hause!''' <br> '''Geht nach Hause!'''<br> '''Gehen Sie nach Hause!''' <br> Go home! <br> '''Gehen wir nach Hause. / Lass uns nach Hause gehen. '''(speaking to one person)''' / Lasst uns nach Hause gehen.''' (speaking to several persons) - let's go home. <br> ===Modals=== There are a few verbs which are essential for German. These are called Modals or [[Modal Auxiliaries]]. There are 6 primary modals, and one which has a subjunctive form in common use. The latter would be '''Möchten''' which is the subjunctive of '''Mögen'''. The modal in the present tense is as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="15" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''dürfen''' may, to be allowed|| colspan="2" align="center"| '''können''' can, to be able, ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''müssen''' must, to have to, ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''sollen''' should, ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''mögen''' to like, ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''möchten''' would like, ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''wollen''' to want, |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || darf || dürfen || kann || können || muss || müssen || soll || sollen || mag || mögen || möchte || möchten || will || wollen |- | '''2nd person''' || darfst || dürft || kannst || könnt || musst || müsst || sollst || sollt || magst || mögt || möchtest || möchtet || willst ||wollt |- | '''3rd person''' || darf || dürfen || kann || können || muss || müssen || soll || sollen || mag || mögen || möchte || möchten || will || wollen |} ===Auxiliaries=== The most important auxiliaries are '''sein''' (to be), '''werden''' (to become, shall, will), and '''haben''' (to have). '''Sein''' and '''Haben''' are both used to form the [[Present Perfect]] tense, and '''Werden''' is used to form the [[Future]] tense. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="7" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Sein''' to be|| colspan="2" align="center"| '''Haben''' to have ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Werden''' to become |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || bin || sind || habe || haben || werde || werden |- | '''2nd person''' || bist || seid || hast || habt || wirst || werdet |- | '''3rd person''' || ist || sind || hat || haben || wird || werden |- | colspan="7" align="center"|'''Imperfect Tense''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || war|| waren || hatte || hatten || wurde || wurden |- | '''2nd person''' || warst|| wart || hattest|| hattet || wurdest || wurdet |- | '''3rd person''' || war || waren || hatte|| hatten || wurde || wurden |- | colspan="7" align="center"|'''Perfect Form''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || bin gewesen || sind gewesen || habe gehabt || haben gehabt || bin geworden || sind geworden |- | '''2nd person''' || bist gewesen || seid gewesen || hast gehabt || habt gehabt || bist geworden || seid geworden |- | '''3rd person''' || ist gewesen || sind gewesen || hat gehabt || haben gehabt || ist geworden || sind geworden |} ===Present Tense=== In the present tense, German verbs follow a common pattern. Quite a few verbs have change or umlaut the vowel in the second person informal singular and the third person singular. Verbs that end with an alveolar fricative or affricate have identical '''du'''-forms and '''er, sie, es''' forms. Verbs ending '''-d''' or '''-t''' insert an '''-e-''' in the '''du''', '''ihr''', and '''er, sie, es''' forms. Here are examples: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Lernen''' To Learn|| colspan="2" align="center"| '''Antworten''' to answer ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Heißen''' to be called ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''Fahren''' to drive, go |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || lerne || lernen || antworte || antworten || heiße || heißen || fahre || fahren |- | '''2nd person''' || lernst || lernt || antwortest || antwortet || heißt || heißt || fährst || fahrt |- | '''3rd person''' || lernt || lernen || antwortet || antworten || heißt || heißen || fährt || fahren |} ===Perfect Tense=== The present perfect is used in High German in the same senses that English uses the [[Simple Past]] and the [[Perfect]] tenses. For weak verbs, in order to form the Present tense, first a form of '''haben''' (or '''sein''') must be used, and at the end of the clause comes the verb. For the verb, '''ge-''' must be attached to beginning of the stem and '''-t''' must be attached to the end. In many strong verbs, '''ge-''' is still often attached, but sometimes '''-en''' is the ending. Also many strong verbs involve a vowel stem change as well.

The Imperfect tense is used to describe something that happened a while in the past. It differs greatly from the Romance and Slavic Language idea of Imperfect. It is used in telling stories of things that happened a long time ago. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Imperfect tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Lernen''' To Learn|| colspan="2" align="center"| '''Antworten''' to answer ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Heißen''' to be called ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''Fahren''' to drive, go |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || lernte || lernten || antwortete || antworteten || hieß || hießen || fuhr || fuhren |- | '''2nd person''' || lerntest || lerntet || antwortetest || antwortetet || hießest || hießt || fuhrst || fuhrt |- | '''3rd person''' || lernte || lernten || antwortete || antworteten || hieß || hießen || fuhr || fuhren |} ==Word Order== German word order is fairly unique and has particular features with which a learner must become acquainted. The normal order is SVO, and occasional OVS, because German has a structure know as V<sub>2<sub> or 2nd Position Verb rule, as described here: {|class="blueinfobox" border="1" cellpadding="2" |"...I find German to be the strangest in the area of syntax. German has several interesting word order issues. Now a simple German sentence can be SVO. But German, as well as most other Germanic language such as Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, and Dutch, follow what I call the 2nd Position Verb rule. This states that no matter where the objects and subjects move, the conjugated verb or Finite verb stays in the second position. So this means that SVO or OVS are very common. Here is an example, You can say in German: <br> '''Ich sehe den Himmel.''' (I see the sky.) or <br> '''Den Himmel sehe ich.''' (The sky see I.) <br> We can see how the verb stays when the other elements move. Now for questions it is acceptable to have a verb in the first position, using a standard inverted word order. However for many statements the verb second ideal needs to stay in place." [http://blackkdark.deviantart.com/art/AGT-Word-Order-or-Basic-Syntax-81429546] ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;'''[[Timothy Patrick Snyder]]''' |} However, German and [[Dutch]] both have a unique trait in having something called Transposed or Dependent Clause word order. This type of word order only occurs <i>inside<i> dependent clauses, and what happens is that the inflected or [[finite]] verb is sent to the end. It is described as this: {|class="blueinfobox" border="1" cellpadding="2" |"Now the pattern that Dutch and German have, but is not really shared with the other Germanic languages, is the movement of the conjugated verb to the end of a dependent clause. This might seem strange at first, but one must learn to notice it. An example would be: <br> '''Der Mann, den ich gestern sah, ist gegangen.''' <br> ('''The man, whom I yesterday saw, left.''') <br> Instead of; '''The man, whom I saw yesterday, left.'''" [http://blackkdark.deviantart.com/art/AGT-Word-Order-or-Basic-Syntax-81429546] <br> ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;'''[[Timothy Patrick Snyder]]''' |} Another interesting feature is the movement of the [[Infinitive]]s and [[Past Participle]]s to the end of the sentence. This is a trait that written German got from Latin, and then it became common in spoken German as well. It also leads to idioms such as '''Ich kann Deutsch.''' (Lit. '''I can German''', but means, '''I can speak German''') which comes from the expression '''Ich kann Deutsch sprechen.''' In the cases of Transposed word order, the inverted verb goes <i>after<i> the infinitives and participles. =Sources and External Links= <references /> [http://blackkdark.deviantart.com/art/AGT-Word-Order-or-Basic-Syntax-81429546 An Introduction to Basic Word Order] by [[Timothy Patrick Snyder]] Stern, Guy, and Everett Bleiler.

When [[humans (Galhaf)|humans]] arrived on [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]], they brought a few other [[neoplantae|plants]] and [[neoanimalia|animals]] with them. These Earth-descended organisms created some difficulty in taxonomy, as, in many cases, entire orders contained only one or two species. Mammals were no exception to this. On Galhaf, there were just five species of mammals, including humans. Initially, mammals were divided into two legions, the "speaking" (Vocifer) and "non-speaking" (Avocifer) mammals, though later the avocifer was divided into two legions. The vocifer legion contains a single order, ''ambulator'', a single suborder ''manualia'', a single family ''homindae'', a single genus, ''homo'', and a single species ''solus''. The historic avocifer legion was subidivided into two orders, subsequently raised to legions, the "hoof" (ungulata) and "claw" (Unguifer). The ungulata legion contains two orders, ''monodactylia'' (one-toed) and ''tetradactylia'' (four-toed). Monodactylia contains a single suborder, ''celeris'' (fast; originally a suborder of ungulata before it was promoted), a single family ''equidae'', genus ''equus'' and species ''[[Horse (Galhaf)|solus]]''. Tetradactylia contains a single suborder ''tardis'' (slow), family ''suidae'', genus ''sus'', and species ''[[Pig (Galhaf)|solus]]'' Unguifer contains a single suborder ''carnivora'', two families ''canidae'' and ''felidae''. Canidae contains one genus ''canis'' and one species ''[[Dog (Galhaf)|solus]]''. Felidae contains one genus ''felis'' and one species ''[[Cat (Galhaf)|solus]]''.

Thus, a tertiary word order, SOV, has become relatively common. *Originally distinguishing the unmarked accusitive from later clauses or dative, locative, or other constructions, the conjunction, i, became associated with accusative suffix marking, and became the dominant accusative marker in VSO constructions. *The relatively right-branching tendencies were also weakened by the tendency to place counters, the generic pluralizer, and a few preposition forms prior to their antecedent. *PRF demonstrative pronouns (*dæun and *dæum) became stressed third person pronouns.

Or, to give a proper example of the declension: uteɻ --- fiuteɻ -- diuteɻ ---- niuteɻ uteɻ --- fi-uteɻ - di-uteɻ --- ni-uteɻ dog-OBL GEN-dog INSTR-dog DAT-dog Or, for certain nouns: kam kem fikam dikam ni-kam kam kem fi-kam di-kam ni-kam promise promise/ACC GEN-promise INSTR-promise DAT-promise ===The Accusative=== This presentation of the accusative is dangerously deceptive, however, as a secondary declension exists which differs in its form. Nouns which end in /p b f m k ç h/ in the nominative experience a form of i-mutation. For instance: daun dein uoon daun dein u- o-on 3.S.ANI 3.S.ANI/ACC PAST-3-see (S)He sees him/her. Daun (*/dæun/ > /daun/) mutates (in this case, fronts and unrounds) to deini because of the terminal i. This process affects all vowels or vowel clusters prior to an /i/ if they are in the same morpheme or the morpheme prior. Word boundaries are not crossed by this affect. The pattern is exceedingly regular, all of the vowels from that time have their specific pattern- /æ a e i o u ə/ became /e æ i i e i ɛ/. Mutations also occur when the noun ends in a vowel, here a second set of problems evolved, as when the /i/ is actually in contact with another vowel, it disappeared. For example: ækænæ + i > ækænei > *ækæne (ACC), *ækænæ (NOM) > (modern acc /akane/, nom /akana/) bæunə + i > bæunɛi > *bæunɛ (ACC), *bæunə (NOM) > (modern /bauna/) æmɑu + i > æmæii > *æmæi (ACC), *æmɑu (NOM) > (modern acc /amai/, nom /amau/) The paradigm is precisely the same. The greatest complications emerge later because /æ a ɛ/ all merged to /a/ following this event, producing pairs like kam (promise, from *kæm) and kam (breath, from *kam), which are homophones except in the accusative. For example: a kem eefad ninoɻ a kem e-e-fad ni- noɻ 1.S.NOM promise/ACC PROG-1-give DAT-2.INF I'm giving you my promise/word. is distinct from a kam eefad ninoɻ a kam e-e-fad ni- noɻ 1.S.NOM breath/ACC PROG-1-give DAT-2.INF I'm giving you my breath (performing CPR). Yet, kam zeti eobeli kam zet- i e- o-beli ??? nothing-ACC PROG-3-mean ??? means nothing. This could mean either "breath/breathing means nothing" or "promise(s)/promising means nothing". Naturally, there are ways around such ambiguity, but this basic confusion still exists. Similarly, nouns which previously ended in ə continue to make no distinction between the accusative and nominative (outside of syntactical markings). For example: bauna amai eonibad bauna amai- e- o-nibad eat strength/ACC- PROG-3-make Eating produces strength. While, in the accusitive, bauna changes not at all: daun bauna eove daun bauna- e- o-ve 3.S.ANI.NOM eat PROG-3-enjoy (S)He enjoys eating. ==="Oblique" Cases=== Regarding the other cases, the terms "instrumental", "genitive", and "dative" only partially capture the uses of the various cases, however. Dative is strictly reserved for andative complements and most indirect objects. a uepa niuteɻ a u- e-pa ni- uteɻ 1.S.NOM PAST-1-go DAT-dog I went to the dog. The genitive meanwhile has a broader meaning than is typically used. For instance, it is used where many other languages would use a locative case: a iebauna fifanot a i- e-bauna fi- fanot 1.S.NOM FUT-1-eat GEN-field I will eat in the field. Naturally, the genitive is also used to denote ownership or composition. a iebauna fifanot fiapudi fiar a i- e-bauna fi- fanot fi- apudi fi-ar 1.S.NOM FUT-1-eat GEN-field GEN-root GEN-woman I will eat in (the) field of root(s) of (the) woman. I will eat in the woman's root-field. The instrumental case is also somewhat expanded from conventional definitions. It is used in the context of not only something used to achieve something, but also for movement through something (combining the meanings of what are often called perlative, prolative, prosecutive, and vialis cases). a aiepa difanot a ai- e-pa di- fanot 1.S.NOM IMP-1-go INSTR-field I was going along/through (the) field ==Verbal Morphology== Verbs conjugate for tense, mood, person, and number in a somewhat agglutinative fashion. a deim aiebauna a deim ai-e-bauna 1.S.NOM 3.S.INANI.STR/ACC IMP-1-eat I was eating that. This is roughly one of the most simple conjugations, as the mood is realis and the subject's number is singular (although, even if it was plural it would be marked without that because the subject is not in first person). For a more complex example: ti deim inababauna ti deim i-n-a-ba-bauna 3.P.NOM 3.S.INANI.STR/AC FUT-IRR-2-P-eat They might go and eat that. To begin, the tense and aspect section proceeds all others, then the mood-encoding morphemes (or a null), then the obligatory person marker, and then the plural marker, if necessary, and finally the root noun-verb. Starting with tense, four major distinctions are made - perfect, past imperfect, present progressive, and future. Each has its own marker on regular verbs, and these are virtually always distinct on irregulars as well. For example: a uebauna a u-e-bauna 1.S.NOM PRF-1-eat I ate. a aiebauna a ai-e-bauna 1.S.NOM IMP-1-eat I was eating. a eebauna a e-e-bauna 1.S.NOM PROG-1-eat I'm eating. a iebauna a i-e-bauna 1.S.NOM FUT-1-eat I will/shall eat. Moving on to mood, four moods are distinguished. These are the realis (null), irrealis (-n-), negative (-z-), and emphatic (-t-). Realis functions similarly to the indicative of other languages, but is used for statements that are known to be true or would be true given the correct changes (the then clause in and if-then construction). Irrealis mirrors this, being used for statements that may be true, could be true, or are unknown as to their validity, as well as in the if-clause in said constructions. Negative is used obviously to mark a statement as false. Meanwhile, the emphatic has a more convoluted meaning. Used for all imperatives (even negatives, which mark their negativity in a different manner), it is associated with things that should or must or otherwise have some requirement to be true. a aiebauna a ai-0-e-bauna 1.S.NOM IMP-REAL-1-eat I was eating. a ainebauna a ai-n-e-bauna 1.S.NOM IMP-IRR-1-eat I may have been eating. a aizebauna a ai-z-e-bauna 1.S.NOM IMP-NEG-1-eat I wasn't eating. a aitebauna a ai-t-e-bauna 1.S.NOM IMP-EMPH-1-eat I needed to eat. As for person, it's relatively simple, as there are only three versions: -e- for first person, -a- for second, and -o- for third. a eebauna a e-e-bauna 1.S.NOM PROG-1-eat I'm eating. noɻ eabauna noɻ e-a-bauna 1.S.NOM PROG-2-eat You're eating. daun eobauna daun e-o-bauna 3.S.ANI.NOM PROG-3-eat (S)He's eating. The plurality of the subject is only encoded for third person (and then the singular is marked with a null, so marking in total is very limited). For example: daun eobauna daun e-o-bauna 3.S.ANI.NOM PROG-3-eat (S)He's eating. ti eobabauna ti e-o-ba-bauna 3.P.NOM PROG-3-P-eat They're eating. =Syntax= =Lexicon= =Changes from [[Central Measceineafh]]= *p > f word terminally *f v ʒ x > DELETE *z > ɻ *θ > f *ei ou > e o when unstressed *f# v# s# z# > DELETE *ɟʝ) > ɟ *æi ɑi ei oi ui əi > e æ i ø y ɛ > e æ i e i ɛ *æCi ɑCi eCi oCi uCi > eCi æCi iCi eCi iCi **Where C is /p b f m k h ɟ ç/ *æ ɑ > a *e [-stress|+closed syllable] > ɛ > ə > a *ʃ > ç *q > h *i > DELETES when word final and proceeded by a front vowel *l ɭ ɻ > DELETE when syllable final *Stress regularizes to intial where there are three or fewer syllables; penultimate where there are more. *Fusion of fi (genitive), di (instrumental), and ni (dative) to beginning of nouns produces further cases and pushes stress back to second syllable, when it then regularizes again to penultimate in all words (except nouns, where it is initial for nominative and accusative (prior to the adding of the prefixes). Category:Biology 5250 40180 2008-11-26T01:09:56Z Christina 18 [[Category:Science]] Smaldgia 5252 32789 2008-06-13T14:05:04Z Jmcd 1217 started article Smaldgia was a large island that did not exist in what is now called the Ontong Java Rise. It went under the ocean sometime in the 15th century thanks to a combined earthquake and tsunami. ==Climate== Volcanos and earthquakes happen sometimes in the South. The climate is sometimes too hot and wet and the weather too predictable but it means there's almost always plants and animals to eat. If you've ever seen snow, you're probably an explorer of some description. You live in an equatorial rainforest. In detail, the climate is as follows: ===Precipitation=== In the north, 310mm per month on average with 100 in February and 460 in May as extremes. In the south, 280mm is the average rainfall per month, with 150 in June and 470 in March as extremes. Obviously, these are still generalisations and there are still variations in the different areas. ===Temperature=== Almost constant throughout the year at between 25C and 30C. In the South, it can get a bit colder at times, to the point of 22C. ==Geography== The extent of Smaldgia is North to South from -3.979,159.475 to 6.214,158.196 and from East to West: 4.363,153.671 to 5.277, 161.240. 10.193 + 1,381 km N-S,7.569 + 701 km W-E. Its total area is 352,471 km≤. There were roughly 21,500 people living on Smaldgia when it went under the waves. If Smaldgia existed now, it would be the 7th largest island in the world by area and 110th by population. ==Language== {{main|Smaldgian languages}} ==Fauna and Flora== {{main|Smaldgian Wildlife}} ===Humans=== The humans of Smaldgia are generally very dark-skinned and tall with wavy or curly hair. ====Culture==== {{main|Smaldgian culture}} [[Category:Smaldgia]] [[Category:Conworlds]] Smaldgian culture 5253 42883 2009-02-09T07:02:04Z Jmcd 1217 You know you're a Smaldgian if... This is an overview of Smaldgian culture. ==Arts== There are regular shows in open spaces, often at beaches or around the fire, where people sing, dance, play instruments and generally have fun. These are often started impromptu and people just join in when they feel like it. There's no point being there if you don't participate to some degree but it would seem ridiculous to ask for more than that. Sometimes, people will dance, sing and play instruments all night. ===Oral Literature=== There are many mythic tales that are told which are usually 100s of verses long. These mythic tales change through the generations and even between different people; they have no fixed form and are meant partly for entertinment value. Shamans are often the ones to tell the stories. Their creation myth tells of how, originally, there was only the forest. Then the rains came and created the rivers and the ocean. Another result of the rains was that the trees gradually swelled until they burst and out came all the animals of Smaldgia. The Smaldgians thus see the forest as their collective ancestor and worthy of worship. There is one myth which tells of the time people destroyed the forest and ended up with so little to eat that they had to beg off their neighbours. This emphasises how important the forest is to the Smaldgians. Because trees are seen as the origin of life in this way, trees are considered to be sacred by the Smaldgians and anyone who cuts a tree down is liable to be the object of severe punishments. Parts of trees may still be cut but never the whole thing. One tale tells of the Smaldgian hunter who put too much strength into his shooting and broke the string of his bow. He later tries to use his spear and it lands far away, much further than the monitor he was trying to catch. He then runs after the monitor and all the monitors in the surrounding area and is exhausted by the end of it and has neither time nor energy to join in sports or conversation. His community then finds that whenever they tried to go after monitors in the coming months, they could not find any and they all knew, the hunter of the story especially, why that was. This tale has the morals of pure power being far from the most important thing, that moderation should be used in hunting and that excess has bad consequences. ===Music=== You listen to and play various types of folk music, most of which emphasises vocals and percussion. The percussion is either performed using the people's own body parts or using a single drum. The percussion is played with complex polyrhythms and polyphony; improvisation is encouraged. You often start dancing and singing spontaneously but also as part of organised festivals and rituals. There are several sorts of music for different situations: ====Feast songs==== These are usually only percussion. Dirges are a form of feast song because you eat the dead. ====Polemics==== Songs expressing an idea or emotion for example love or a recent hunt. The voice is used most here and is the only form with lyrics. The lyrics often use complex imagery and allusions. ====Dance songs==== These use a variety of instruments as well as scat singing. Good dance music is expected to be highly technical and fast. There are also songs sung as part of specific games. ==Bathroom== You urinate and excrete by trees or bushes, several metres from the camp or further. You would never do these things near bodies of water, including rain. You would not bother if anyone sees. If anyone did bother, you would think they are hiding something like a disease, which would be cause for mocking. After excreting, you wipe your bum with leaves. You do not bathe. ==Cleanliness== If you're too clean, you'll end up with a weak immune system and allergies. And weakness is certainly nothing a Smaldgian wants. The worst thing to happen is for the clean people to try to pass their weakness onto their children through their genes. So they wouldn't want those clean people having any babies at all. Except that Smaldgians don't think of anything in terms of immune systems. Instead the Smaldgians think of it thus: Dirt contains kai which, in healthy doses, causes strength but when people are already ill or they get too much it makes them worse. They think of the genes in that the weak people pass on their weakness to their wives or husbands through their reproductive fluids. Then the women pass the weakness to their children. Cleaning things also takes too much time up that could be used doing fun things. ==Clothing== It is considered impolite to hide your body from someone, particularly inside a shelter. This is because it is a sign you are being too secretive and that you do not trust the people that you hiding your body from. People do wear some things as decoration though, especially the teeth and bones of dead animals, human or otherwise. These are worn in the form of necklaces, bracelets or piercings. The wing bones of wee birds are usually used for piercings. ==Economics== Things are given with the expectation that something will be given at an indefinite later point in time. These gifts are rarely turn-for-turn. Instead, one is expected to give when one is able and to those that need things. People usually give people gifts when they go and visit them. The quality and quantity of the gifts are not important. The important part is that you give the gifts. If someone accumulates lots of material possessions, others will ask them for some of the objects. People must either accept such an offer or give it to someone else. If someone asks for something, you will usually give them to them. Rare circumstances where this does not stand is when people ask too much. People are considered good at gift giving if they have lots of people they give gifts to and have a wee bit of possessions which change hands often. People who give rarely are seen as bad at it, especially if they have a lot. ==Food== {{main|Smaldgian Food}} ==Games== Games are played most in the evening. Some are sports, like races and swimming competitions. One game is Trees, Sea and Land in which the players divide into 3 equal teams, each team only being allowed to be on one area. When someone tigs another, the person who was tug must move into the other person's team. If someone does go onto another area, they must move into that team. The game ends when everyone is on the same team. Another game involves the people acting as an animal of their choice and pretends to eat the appropriate other players in the game. Once someone is eaten, they are then out of the game. ==Hair== Hair is usually cut just before the shoulders. Men usually have their cut bald except for the edge of the scalp where it is made into braids. Some people dye their hair using ochre, beetle juice or fish. A common colour to dye one's hair is red but other bright colours, like green and blue are also used. Shamans dye their ears red with the fish too because this helps them communicate with spirits. ==Health== Diseases are sometimes caused by ancestors wanting their living friends and relatives to come to the land of the dead but they can have other causes. This wish is restrained by eating people when they die so that they always stay with their friends and family. Diseases are healed by people performing rituals, most of which involve the use of plants. Most people know how to use the plants and perform most of the rituals. The way Smaldgians see it is that ghosts and spirits both have many spells in their repetoir for harming humans. Each separate spell causes a separate disease and each separate disease can either be treated with the appropriate plants and rituals or whatever else or can not be treated. Sometimes, people will try to find a cure for the incurable diseases but, most of the time, people just accept that they are incurable. Scarification is used as a treatment for swellings on the body as well as for decoration. Coughs are cured by letting the person stay by the fire in their household shelter and getting them to eat some leaves of the alpinia plant. Anyone severely disabled or with an inheritable or incurable disease is killed, cooked thoroughly and eaten, including babies who are in any way deformed. You yourself would let yourself be killed so you can enjoy the afterlife in your friends' stomach than to suffer the pain and be a burden on your friends and family. You think it would be extremely stupid to try to keep ill babies alive and people too old to fend for themselves if they are ill. They obviously make better meals than members of society and the person themself would be unwilling to stay alive knowing they could not help others and would die soon anyway. Furthermore, if people are ill with serious diseases, they are usually killed soon after the disease's discovery. This is partly to stop the disease from spreading but also to stop the bad kai and because such diseases are incurable and it would be a wasted effort to try to cure them. To kill an ill person, people usually give them a sharp knife blow to the back of the head after they have been given a strong soporific to drink. After someone dies like this, everyone moves camp as soon as the meal is finished. You usually exercise every day as part of finding food and do more as part of games and sports. ===Mental Health=== You think insomnia is a horrible disease and, if someone can not be cured of it, then they should be put out of their misery. Other mental illnesses include celibacy and refusing to eat when you've not eaten in a while. ==Inheritance== Depending on the object, when people die or when you become too old to work, their material possessions are given to others in the community who would have use of them, whether they are genetically related or not. ==Language== You speak your people's language and usually one or two others, taught by people you have met from other societies. Your society probably has unique language. If not, you speak a different dialect from, but the same language as, a neighbouring society. ==Names== Your name is made up of 3 names usually: *your nickname, given sometime during your life *your birth-name, given at birth by your mother. This name usually comes from the word for an animal which was eaten recently, especially if it was a powerful one. *your mother's (or carer's) nickname. Terms of Address are used when someone is present and names when they are not. You are called by the last 2 names until you are given nickname and then called almost exclusively by your nickname. Sometimes, people will call you by your nickname followed by one or both of your other names though. ===Terms of Address=== Smaldgians address each other as grandchild, child, sibling, parent or grandparent, depending on their age, not their genetic relationship to each other. Gender differentiation is only used sometimes. The Smaldgians only see people as having a gender if they are an adult. Because of this, gender is only shown when referring or talking to adults. ==Race== You usually don't think in terms of race. You think of people's skin colour as black. You don't see how the colour of peoples' skin can affect anything except perhaps sexuality. ==Taboos== Showing up at someone's place is not uncommon or considered rude but going in without waiting for them to acknowledge your prescence is. You'd feel uncomfortable if anyone stands further than about a metre away when they are talking to you if they can help it as it would seem that they were scared of you. It is considered wrong to hide useful knowledge from other members of society. In order to make sure that everyone knows new knowledge, when it becomes known, it is told as soon as feasible to others in the community. Accordingly, you do not tell lies. This is also done so you don't take effort continuing the lies and so people knows what you're like and that they can trust you. Also, you can't get what you want if you don't tell the truth and you should help others get what they want if you want something yourself. You should make sure to contribute to a conversation and not be quiet and don't talk so quietly that people can not hear you. Taboos are not codified and it is accepted that they shall change from time to time. Changes are only made if they are felt to be necessary though. Everyone is expected to respect and uphold the rules as everyone else. If you see someone violating a taboo, you are expected to call on your neighbours for help stop it. If noone else is around, you are expected to try to stop it by yourself. Serious crimes are dealt with by the community as a whole. You are expected to be allowed to ask anyone about what is expected in society, including in court. Should you not have known that something was wrong before you did it, you will be let off. ===Court System=== The court system consists of the village meeting up, the evidence being presented and a vote taken on whether the person is guilty. You can defend yourself in court and if anyone else thinks your case is worthy, they will argue your case. ===Reaction=== Normally, a short exile is used for serious crimes and scolding and shunning for less serious ones. Capital punishment is used only used in extreme cases as punishment for repeats of serious crimes such as rape or murder. The capital punishment mostly used is stabbing. ==Marriage== You expect marriages to be decided by the participants concerned, not arranged by third parties. Marriage is living together and being called husband and wife. It is rare for a man who has not successfully hunted and killed to get married but it does still happen. In some Smaldgian societies, there are extra responsibilities when you marry, such as no extramarital sexual activity. However, in most societies, extramarital sexual activity is tolerated and is expected but only occasionally. Most of Smaldgia is monogamous but there are certain areas which allow polygamy and others which allow polyandry. If the newly wed couple are from different societies, they choose whether to stay in the wife's society or the husband's although it is usually the wife's. ====Divorce==== You can divorce someone if you can not resolve your differences with them. Divorcing is simply done by neither living together nor having sex regularly any more. Under such circumstances, people return to their own societies and the woman continues to look after the children. Both the man and the woman are then free to marry again; divorcing is not stigmatised at all. ===Conflict=== Fighting is mostly spontaneous and due to anger, not a rational decision. When there are fights, they are done either with bare hands or with the weapons used for hunting. It is usually against people who are in the same community but not the same household. Noone starts anything as big as a war because they are too useless at planning and organisation. ====Conflict Resolution==== Humour is used to lighten the mood and distract people from possible disputes. When there is a dispute, they talk about the problem amongst themselves. Should this not resolve the dispute, moderators will step in to help. If this does not work, the appropriate parties will generally avoid the other until the event is no longer a problem. The people who are disputing may go off away from the community and come back when they have calmed down. If the dispute continues, the people in question would move to another community or even society. ===Raising Children=== Children are considered to be fully-fledged people and are generally not treated much differently from adults in some societies. Exceptions are sexual intercourse (sexual play up to that point is still acceptable) and things they are too weak for. By some societies, children are treated with extra care and attention but do still partake in the same activities as adults. Children are rarely raised by their birth mother after weaning. Babies may be looked after by multiple women, all sharing the task of child rearing. ====Education==== Children learn the history of Smaldgia and specifically one's own society. The education is not formal. Instead, children are taught things as and when they are needed to be taught or when things are asked about. Things are often taught as part of myths. ===Expressing Emotion=== It is considered proper for Smaldgians to express their emotions as soon as they feel them. Letting feelings boil up is something which angers spirits, particularly those associated with time. Smaldgians tend to be emotionally attached to many people in their society and someone who is shy and unwilling to be emotionally attached to anyone is significantly frowned upon. It is proper to talk about the way you feel but to express it other ways is usually not ok. It is improper to express a wish to do things alone though. You are expected to listen to what other people say and respond before you make your own comment, no matter how important you think either comment is. ==Religion== You have a form of Smaldgian religion and you believe in many spirits and ghosts but you do not believe in a single god. These beliefs include the following: Bodies are ephemeral but the forest always exists. When people are born, souls come into them from the soul world. The soul then leaves the body and returns to the soul world when they die. Noone knows what the soul world looks like. Spirits are based on places, living creatures or abstract concepts such as time. A major difference between spirits and people is that spirits are amoral whereas humans can decide to do good or evil. The land belongs to the spirits;it can not belong to people. Humans are insignificant in terms of power compared to the spirits. Because of this, the spirits must be appeased with rituals and taboos to avoid them attacking humans. To some extent, it is up to the individual to think what the spirits and ghosts are like. ===Shamans=== Shamans are those with a connection to the soul world. They use this to communicate with the ghosts of the recently deceased to stop bothering the ill person or in order to get advice about problems. These are not considered necessary parts of the healing process but are certainly helpful. Only some dead souls are worth communicating for advice. The weak are never communicated and serious criminals only rarely. The dead are also communicated to stop them trying to take the living into the soul world because they are lonely without them. People can get such a connection by: *fainting - afterwards, you are initiated as a shaman *going into a coma - afterwards, you are initiated as a shaman *not being afraid of spirits - once you gain a reputation for this, you are initiated as a shaman You must go through a series of rituals and be taught particular bodies of knowledge from previous shamans before you can become a shaman. The most important purpose of a shaman is to convince people that everything is going fine and that the ill person or whatever else is not going to come to harm. Because of this, shamans have to also be amiable and confident. ===Rituals=== All rituals involve both genders either in the same role or in different complementary ones. There are rituals for hunters who are not doing well. These involve eating the hands and brain of recently deceased people who were good hunters within their lifetime to give them the power of the dead hunter. ====Nighttime Rituals==== Rituals, including rites of passage, take place during the night. This means people are also sleep deprived which is supposed to help the experience and help people communicate with the spirits. This is because people are seen to be able to both sleep and be awake, whereas spirits are always just one or the other. These rituals may involve difficult mental challenges, such as remembering whole poems and reciting them off by heart. ==Rites of Passage== ===Birth=== Women sit up to give birth. Afterwards, the father cuts the umbilical cord with a stone knife. When a person is born, one of their parents eats the placenta. Babies are very often adopted in Smaldgia so their carers are often different from their biological parents. Babies are only kept alive if they are considered strong and healthy enough. Less than half of all babies born are killed as soon as they are born and even less live through to weaning. ===Adulthood=== A girl is considered a woman after she first has a period. There is no equivalent definite time for a boy becoming a man though; it is celebrated whenever the boy decides it is right sometime during puberty. Both sexes often have big ceremonies when they pass into adulthood. There are often several more rites after these. When all the appropriate rituals have been completed, then the person is allowed to marry. What these rites are like depends on the area. One thing common to all societies though is that these rituals are practiced during the night after a day of sleep deprivation. For men, these involve stretching the skin of the penis so it covers the penis completely even when erect. ===Wedding=== A person usually has their first (sometimes also only) marriage sometime during puberty. Sometimes people first marry later than this but children are forbidden to marry. When this happens, there is a huge ceremony. The groom's stomach is smeared with the menstrual blood of the bride. Because of this, all weddings are held when the woman is having her period. Weddings are not planned so they sometimes end up being several months after the husband and wife are considered married. People often marry several times in their life. ===Death=== When someone dies, the rest of the community chop them up and make a meal of them. This is to keep them close to society and make sure they are not lonely in death. This is partly to care for them but partly to make sure their spirit don't attack the society afterwards. Human meat is always made sure to be well cooked before it is eaten. Bones are kept in order to communicate with the departed soul and for decoration and the skin is kept to be worn by the relatives and friends of the dead person. ==Sexuality== You don't kiss your spouse. Instead, you skelp each other, either with your hand or with branches, as part of foreplay. ===Situation=== You wouldn't have sex in public but, as long as it is hidden from view, people don't bother where or with whom you have sex. An exception is that people, especially your spouse, do bother who you have sex with if you are married and have too much extramarital sex, especially with the same person. In such a case, you would probably divorced and later married to the person you had had the extramarital sex with. Generally, sex is expected to be during the nighttime inside a shelter but it does happen elsewhere and at other times. People often have sex after a successful hunt as a celebration. ===Preferences=== ====In Women==== A woman is a bit plumper than the average, it doesn't make much difference either way to her looks. If she is much fatter than that though, it's a turn-off but then so is being too thin. ====In Men==== Men are generally unattractive if they are weak. Being a good hunter is also important. ====In Both==== Facial features are very important also and people who have been scarified or pierced are generally considered attractive and those without are plain and boring. Large nostrils are also thought of as attractive so picking one's nose is a way to beautify oneself. Rings are also used to stretch one's nostrils. ===Paraphilia=== To a Smaldgian, deviant sexual relations are worse if children come from the act. This is why rape of a woman is considered worse than paedophilia or rape of a male in Smaldgian society. If a man has sex with another man, or equally if if a woman sleeps with another woman he's a homosexual and this is very odd and worthy of discussion but not something worthy of animosity. Sex with a weakling would be more of a frowned upon thing. Incest is also forbidden, which is counted as sex with biological parent, child, sibling, grandparent or grandchild. ==Shelters== You are a nomad, moving place every week on average. You probably build your temporary shelters yourself or you failed and are disabled and a friend (or friend of a friend) built it for you. You have heating in the form of fire. For making a home, you always make sure there is fresh water nearby. Shelters are constructed so that various families have huts around a central large open space which contains the fire. Shelters are made out of a central frame of branches tied together. Strips of bark are lain flat over the frame. Mud is then put at the edges of the strips of bark to keep the rain out. In some areas, particularly mosquito-ridden ones, the shelters are on stilts. ==Sleep== You scatter leaves on the ground before you sleep and sleep on that when it is dry. When it is wet, you will construct a platform a little way off the ground beforehand. ===Fire=== A fire, originally started from rubbing 2 stones together, is kept going throughout the night. Later , people lost this knowledge and had to make sure not to let the fire go out at all. This is needed to protect the community from malevolent spirits. Rocks are placed as barriers between sleepers and the fire to protect the sleepers from burning. ===Sleeping Arrangements=== You will often have several people sleeping next to you and never sleep alone. If you would sleep alone, you would be attacked by spirits. If you are a baby, you will sleep with your mother. Once they are weaned, they may be adopted by any other member of the society or another society. Unmarried adults sleep in the same shelter as other unmarried adults but not all unmarried adults sleep in the same shelter. The ill sleep separate from everyone else. Once people are married, they sleep with their spouse and their children only. ===Bedtimes(?)=== You go to sleep when you are tired and wake up when you are feeling awake or there is something interesting happening. However, you always do your hunting or gathering during the day and never make loud noises when most people are sleeping in the night. Also, sleeping excessively, especially during the day, is usually associated with illness, particularly malaria, so anyone napping is asked how they feel and is taken to a shelter specifically for the ill. Sleeping excessively except when ill is considered pretending to be ill and thus wanting to die so, if you do it regularly, you will be treated as ill, suicidal or both. ==Social Structure== Smaldgian social structure is organised at 3 levels:the household, the community and society. There are usually about 50 people in one community. The size and composition of a community changes frequently and anyone except babies or the own can move to another community or rarely, to another society, as and when the community moves site. You usually can go to any community where you have a friend or relative. You will not be allowed into a community where you have strong negative feelings with any of the members. You will not be allowed in either if you can not speak a common language with the inhabitants. The composition of a community may also change because there were too many or too few children and babies in the group. To solve this, children or parents and their babies will switch group. The community moves camps on average 60 times a year and moves an average of 3 miles each time. The society has about 1000 to 3000 people in it. The society is usually split up into multiple communities but people do get together in the society as a whole for rites of passage and other ceremonies. You could probably name all the societies in Smaldgia. Everyone who has a decent command of a language known to a society gets an equal say in decisions affecting the community as a whole. In addition, there are no leaders to a Smaldgian society or community. Smaldgians treat there as being the following age groupings within society: *babies *children, who are distinguished from babies in that they have been weaned and have been adopted away from their parents *adults, who have passed puberty *elderly, who are too old to do subsistence work. The last not existing in society long. ==Technology== Smaldgian technology used stones but no metals and they used bones, teeth and shells as well. Tortoise shells are particularly useful as they are the containers used most frequently for bowls and cups for liquids. Other technology used by the Smaldgians include: Digging stick Spade Shaping and cutting tools such as adzes, axes and knifes - all made of stone Bow - same height as adult male, wood is cut, shaped with an adze, smoothed and string attached Arrows - shell tip, harden in fire Trident Spear Snares unshaped Stones - for cracking nuts, hammering Mortar & Pestle Sandals Shelter Clay, ochre - body paint ===Boats=== Smaldgian boats are rafts which are only used to cross or sail along rivers. The rafts are made of branches tied together and could never go more than a few miles off the coast. These are only used by people who live near the coast or a wide river. Otherwise, people do not use watercraft and cross rivers by stepping stones, swimming or a log which has fallen across the river.

There are four major steps of this sound shift, and then there are other shifts which separate '''[[High German]]''' from other languages. =The Phases of the Shift= The 4 stages of the shift could be defined as follows: # Non-geminated voicless [[Stop|stops]] became [[Fricative|fricatives]], # Geminated, [[Nasal|nasal]]-adjacent and [[Liquid|liquid]]-adjacent voiceless [[Stop|stops]] became [[Affricate|affricates]], # Voiced stops became voiceless stops, and finally # All interdental fricatives (/[[Voiced dental fricative|ð]]/ and /[[Voiceless dental fricative|θ]]/) became the dental stop and/or Alveolar stop /[[Voiced dental stop|d̻]]/ and /[[Voiced alveolar stop|d]]/. <br> The last stage was shared by [[Low German]] and [[Dutch]]. The shift occured in the period before [[Old High German]] existed, and in fact was the marker of Old High German. ==Phase 1== The first stage is where the three voiceless stops, when not in the cases of phase 2, became weakened into the closest fricative equivalents. This means: * /p/ → /f/ * /t/ → /s/ * /k/ → /x/ The [[Old High German]] forms of these are not always spelt the same way. The spelling for /'''f'''/ was <'''ff'''> or <'''f'''>, /'''s'''/ is <'''zz'''> or <'''z'''>, and /'''x'''/ was commonly <'''hh'''>. The first one was retained into New [[High German]], but <'''zz'''> became <'''ss'''> and <'''hh'''> became <'''ch'''>. ==Phase 2== The second stage of the shift involved the same voiceless stops as the first stage. However, this only affected geminated, liquid-adjacent and nasal-adjacent forms. Those stops became Affricates rather than fricatives in this part of the shift. This has several reasons. For Geminated sounds, the first sound would remain unshifted, but the second part would go through the first shift, resulting in an affricate. Nasals for one, are actually partially stops themselves, resulting in a pattern to the Geminated ones. The sound shift is as follows: * /p/ → /pf/ * /t/ → /ʦ/ * /k/ → /kx/ The first two are common in standard [[High German]], however, the third one only occurs in the [[Upper German]] dialects. In [[Old High German]] the first affricate was spelt <'''ph'''> (Modern '''pf''') and the second was spelt <'''z'''> or <'''tz'''> which is the same as the modern forms. There are exceptions to this rule, especially when these sounds were combined with others, such as '''st''', '''sp''', '''sk''' (which became '''sch'''), '''ht''' (which becomes '''cht'''), '''ft''', and '''tr'''. ==Phase 3== The third part of the stage involves the Voiced stops becoming voiceless stops. This involves the following: * /b/ → /p/ * /d/ → /t/ * /g/ → /k/ Unfortunately the only part of this shift which made it into standard [[High German]] was the shift of '''/d/ → /t/'''. The other forms of this shift do exist in the '''Upper German''' dialects, as well as in [[Pennsylvania German]]. ==Phase 4== But in replacing the lost /d/ sounds, the fourth part of the shift involved the inter-dental sounds /ð/ and /θ/ becoming /d/. This is occurs in all forms of German including [[Low German]] and [[Dutch]]. This shift occurred in the three major [[North Germanic]] languages: [[Norwegian]], [[Swedish]], and [[Danish]]. Because this part occurred in the other forms of German, it is sometimes not included in the '''High German Consonant Shift'''. It would look as follows: *þ/ð→d **/θ/→/d/ **/ð/→/d/ This shift did not happen in [[Anglo-Saxon]], thus resulting in [[Modern English]] having those two sounds, and [[Old Norse]], although the decedents of the latter did have this shift. [[Icelandic]] is one of the larger spoken languages, decended from '''Old Norse''' which did not have this shift and today still has the symbols '''þ/ð'''. ==Examples of the Shift== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | ||colspan="3" align="center"| Phase 1 ||colspan="3" align="center"| Phase 2 ||colspan="3" align="center"| Phase 3 ||colspan="2" align="center"| Phase 4 |- | High German || Schiff || essen || machen || Apfel || Herz || Werk (Werch †) || Bitten (pitten ‡) || Tag || Gott (Kot ‡) || das || denken |- | Dutch || Schip || eten || maken || Appel || Hart || Werk || bieden || Dag || God || dat || denken |- | English || Ship || eat ([[Anglo-Saxon|A.S.]] etan) || make || Apple || Heart || Work || bid || Day || God || that || think ([[Anglo-Saxon|A.S.]] þencan or þyncan) |- | Low German || Schipp || eten || maken || Aupel || Hert || Woakj || beeden || Dag || Gott || dat || denken |} †Alemanic <br> ‡Bavarian <br> A.S. = [[Anglo-Saxon]] =Other shifts= ==Labio-shift== The labio-dental fricative /v/, written '''f''' and/or '''v''' in the original Germanic languages became /b/, '''b''', in High German. Some of the dialects of [[Low German]] and [[Dutch]] have this shift, but it's mostly in [[High German]] and its '''Upper German''' forms. ==The /s/ shift== This was the shift of the alveolar fricative of /s/ to /ʃ/ when the /s/ was in front of other consonants in combinations such as '''sp''', '''st''', '''sl''' (which often becomes '''schl'''), '''sr''' (which often becomes '''schr'''), '''sw''', amongst others. All other /s/ sounds became /z/s before vowels. ==Examples of the Other Shifts== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | ||colspan="2" align="center"| /v/→/b/ ||colspan="2" align="center"| /s/→/ʃ/ |- | High German || haben || halb || Schlafen || Schwein |- | Dutch || hebben || half || slapen || Zwijn |- | English || Have || half || sleep || Swine |- | Low German || hebben || haulf || slapen || Swien |} =Sources= This page is by [[Timothy Patrick Snyder]] =Translations= [[Category:Sound changes]] Neoeukaryota 5260 44167 2009-03-16T19:17:10Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Humanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Neoeukaryota}} |} '''Neoeukaryota''' (''Yulà çéná tama'' New Complex Cells) refers to eukaryotic organisms brought with [[Humans (Galhaf)|humanity]] during the colonization of [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]. == Kingdoms == *[[Neoplantae]] *[[Neoanimalia]] [[Category:Terrestrial Biology of Galhaf]] Category:Galhafan Animals 5265 33672 2008-07-01T01:25:17Z Christina 18 [[Category:Animals of the Chihazh System]] [[Category:Galhafan Biology]] Zheftakh 5266 42531 2009-02-01T04:27:56Z Christina 18 {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width=300 class=bordertable style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #e9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |+ <big>'''{{PAGENAME}}'''</big> |- |'''Mean Distance from [[Suns of Galhaf|sun]]''': || 240,520,000 km |- |Perhelion: || 235,060,000 km |- |Aphelion: || 245,980,000 km |- |'''Orbital Period''': || 727 d, 16 h, 25 m, 36 s (Earth) |- |'''Mean Tropical Year''': || |- |'''Eccentricity''': || .0227 |- |'''Sidereal day''': || |- |'''Solar day''': || |- |'''Diameter''': || 145,000 km |- |'''Surface area''': || |- |'''Axial tilt''': || 2.7° |- |'''Mass''': || 1.846 × 10<sup>28</sup> kg<br>(9.723 Jupiter Masses) |- |'''Gravity''': || 234 m/s²<br>23.9 g |- |'''Number of moons''': || many (3 visible to naked eye from [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]) |} '''Zheftakh''' (from [[Classical Sanle]] ''Zhev tkab'' "Great Star") is the [[Planets of Chihazh|fifth planet]] out from [[Suns of Galhaf|Chihazh]].

Naked-eye observations of their movement relative to Zheftakh supported the heliocentric model of the solar system from ancient times. The moons visible to the naked eye are: *[[Khanda]] **The name is derived from [[Classical Sanle]] ''ák ald'' "Inner Child".

Little is known about them. They developed a high level of technology, and appear to have triggered [[Khandan Catastrophe|a massive extinction]] that, presumably, was responsible for their own demise. Their existence was first proposed to explain the presence of representatives of the [[Xenoanimalia]] on [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]. When Khanda was first explored, further evidence of their existence was found. == Life Cycle == The Ancient Ones were eusocial, like ants or bees. Their colonies were structured a bit differently, however, and were based on alternation of generations, which all [[paleoanimalia|paleoanimals]] exhibit to some extent. In the Ancient Ones, this was modified into an interesting form. Diploids were sterile, with only the haploids being fertile. Haploids are capable of reproducing both asexually and sexually. When reproducing sexually, they produced genetically-identical gametes. Colonies were established by a "King" and "Queen". All their offspring are genetically identical, creating a colony of clones. As the colony grows larger, the royal pair may reproduce asexually to produce haploid clones of themselves. A long-established colony may, therefore, have many kings and queens constantly producing new members (Of course, after a while, the individual haploids may accumulate mutations, creating slight variations within the colony). Periodically, a fertilized zygote may, instead of developing into a new diploid member, instead divide by meiosis into two kings and two queens, who will leave the colony to find mates from other colonies, and establishing a new colony. In the later days of the Ancient Ones' existence, new colonies were rarely established (any meiosis-produced haploids were destroyed immediately), and, in fact, colonies were sometimes destroyed in wars, leading to a gradual decline in the number of distinct colonies, while their average populations grew. The colony was the basic unit of political organization among them, with only temporary alliances uniting colonies. Haploids had very little intelligence, and were controlled by the diploid members. Diploids, on the other hand, were intelligent (to varying degrees, depending on caste), and possessed individual minds (not some kind of swarm mentality). However, being genetically identical, they tended to be very similar to each other. Also, due to the fact that the diploids are sterile and rely on the haploids to produce clones of themselves, they developed a strong group-mentality. Individual survival instincts don't exist. A diploid would willingly sacrifice itself for the good of the colony, making wars between colonies extremely brutal, as they neither sought mercy nor gave it. Conquest was not a goal. Outsiders were worse than useless for the colony. Instead, the goal was to take land, wiping out non-colony-members on that land. == See Also == *''[[The Secret History of the Three Worlds]]'' [[Category:Khandan Animals]] [[Category:Sentients of the Chihazh System]] Category:Speeches 5268 32922 2008-06-15T18:15:15Z Christina 18 New page: [[Category:History]] [[Category:History]] Category:Books 5269 32923 2008-06-15T18:16:27Z Christina 18 New page: [[Category:History]] [[Category:History]] The Secret History of the Three Worlds 5270 42067 2009-01-21T04:23:09Z Christina 18 '''''The Secret History of the Three Worlds''''' is a controversial book claiming to "uncover" the "secret history" of [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]], [[Khanda]], and the [[Wikipedia:Earth|unknown homeworld]] of [[humans (Galhaf)|humanity]]. According to this book's claims, the [[Ancient Ones]] survived the [[Khandan Catastrophe]] in spiritual form. They manipulated evolutionary processes on both their own world and Galhaf, as well as seeking other nearby stars, including humanity's, in order to recreate intelligence. Having created both humanity and [[Pteranthropus kalpanis|pteranthropans]], they have taken over some individuals, in a form of spiritual possession. The book further claims that some of the Ancient Ones are preserved in suspended animation, waiting to be revived (there is some disagreement over exactly where the Ancient Ones are). They will then return to power to dominate the planets of [[Suns of Galhaf|Chihazh]] once more, guiding humanity and pteranthropans with benevolence and wisdom. Among "possessed" individuals, the book names most of the major religious prophets, and a number of world leaders both present and past, including [[Chalanya]] and [[Dzesa]]. Supporters of this book point to its allegedly successful prediction of the discovery of [[Dzesatakh]]. It is true that <i>The Secret History</i> did describe an additional planet beyond the orbit of [[Nyatakh]], but critics point out that A) <i>The Secret History</i> described it as Galhaf-like (supporters retort that the description may refer to a moon of Dzesatakh, rather than Dzesatakh itself), and that B) there had long been speculation about the possible existence of an eleventh planet. Several rival religions have been founded upon the claims of this book, both collectively referred to as the [[Trimundialism|Trimundial faiths]]. Both are centered on the belief in the Ancient Ones as almost divine beings, and on the rejection of an immortal soul, believing, rather, that only those who find favor with the Ancient Ones will be preserved post-mortem. [[Category:Books]] Khandan Catastrophe 5271 43488 2009-02-25T01:57:49Z Christina 18 The '''Khandan Catastrophe''' was an event that took place on [[Khanda]] some 12 million years ago. It was a mass extinction on a truly massive scale, believed to have been caused by widespread environmental destruction by the [[Ancient Ones]]. Approximately 97% of all [[Native life of Khanda|species]] were wiped out, and the destruction even went up to the phylum level, with 2 phyla wiped out. [[Category:Catastrophic Events]] [[Category:Khandan Biology]] Amenite Calendar 5272 51138 2009-12-24T06:27:41Z - andrew 211 The Amenite Calendar is a calendar devised for Amenitism, a constructed religion. The accompanying language and culture are still undeveloped. The calendar is lunar and assumed to be used in a world and year similar to our own. It has twelve months: {| |Summēna||5 ''Midwinter'', 17 ''Freeborn'', 19-23 ''Fifthdays'' |- |Dovimēna||21 ''Flocks'' |- |Trīmēna||9, 11, 13 ''Ghosts'' |- |Četurmēna||9 ''Heath'' |- |Pinchemēna|| |- |Svešamēna||5 ''Neras'', 15 ''Rose Moon'' |- |Septummēna|| |- |Aštōmēna|| |- |Nevummēna|| |- |Dešummēna||15 ''Hunters Moon'' |- |Turamēna||Crossover |- |Pūramēna||''Scripture Days'' |} The calendar is metonic, so that in a cycle of 19 years, the years 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 17, and 19 have 13 months. A leap-year month, second Svešamēna is added to bring the calendar closer to the solar year. The festivals of sixth month occur in the bisextile month in a leap-year. The civic calendar begins on the day of the new moon after 22 June, the southern winter solstice. Each month consists of two fortnights. The first is the bright fortnight which moves toward the full-moon night. The second is the dark fortnight which moves toward the new-moon night. The first and fifteenth days are known as the 'entry-days', when pious laity join with the priests for special observances. At these times the priests will lead public worship and give scripture talks. The Amenite Pantheon is hierarchical. At the top is a creator god in heaven, an invisible hermaphrodite diety. Second to god is the goddess who defeated the demons at the creation of the world and mediates between god and humanity. The goddess is highly venerated. Below her are the Holy Ones, an indefinite number of divine beings said to co-exist with humanity, dwelling in places, rivers and elements. == Midwinter Ceremony == (5 Summēna) a thanksgiving addressed to God for the blessings of life, health, and sustenance and the privileges of social life. Amenites celebrate this day as the birthday of the Prophet. The Man chalked on the midwinter log represents an offering made by fire. The occasion is marked with great solemnity and prayers which include ceremonial lights and candles to bring back the sun and light up the night. Everyone sets off fireworks and firecrackers. Many places celebrate with music, dancing and pageantry. Feasts conclude the celebration. The ceremony commemorating the death of the Prophet is also celebrated with great veneration, and worshippers attend temple, reciting prayers in his honour. Holly and ivy are associated with the Midwinter Ceremony. Trees may be planted on this occasion and fruit shared. == Freeborn == (17 Summēna) a fertility festival characterised by masks, phallic symbols, and singing. An icon is escorted into the community in a torchlight procession including priests of the various schools dressed in gold who make offerings and libations. It is a popular occasion for initiation for freeborn children. == Fifth Days == (19-23 Summēna) the first day of this festival commemorates the creation of the goddess. It is proper to wear yellow, and little yellow bouquets are sold at the doors of the temples. Children begin scavenging wood for bonfire night. Acts of penance and offerings are made to the awaking earth to cleanse it of impurities. The final day marks the goddess's triumph over the demons. The ceremonial trumpets are purified in a festival as the goddess's image is clothed in new robes. The robes are carried on a ship on wheels followed by the people. It is considered a great honour for any girl to be considered worthy of weaving the goddess's robes. Amenites observe the eve of the last day as vigil. It is believed to be blessing to keep the vigil, even for thieves and hunters active that night. == Flocks == (21 Dovimēna) a festival for the purification of shepherds and flocks. Its ceremonies are conducted by priestesses. The sheep pens are cleaned and decorated. Sulphur is burned on bonfires so the smoke will purify the sheep. Special offering cakes and milk are presented in temples on the 15th of Dovimēna. The cakes are broken and sprinkled on the bonfires. A lamb is paraded and venerated as an offering to the earth, to protect the flocks and keep them fertile. Shepherds wash themselves, drink the milk and leap through the bonfires, followed by a celebration. Gifts of food are given to friends and to the poor. == Ghosts == (9, 11, 13 Trīmēna) the days that wandering spirits haunt the places of the living. On each of these days the household prepares a measure of black beans. As darkness falls he walks barefoot around the house to scatter these at the entrance of the house and in dark corners as food for the ghosts so they do not carry off living members of the household. A wreath is placed over the door of the house to prevent evil spirits from entering. == Hearth == (9 Četurmēna) the day the convents are opened for married women to walk barefoot within them to bring simple food-offerings. Offerings are generally made when the crops are in danger. The coming of the rain at this time is vital for the first crops, and temple bells petition God to send rain. Bakers enjoy this day as a holiday. Asses are freed from the tread-mill and decorated with garlands and cakes. From 9 to 15 Četurmēna the convents stand open while they are cleaned. 15 Četurmēna, the Grass Moon, is a working day, when the dirt has been rightly cleared away. == Neras == (5 Svešamēna) the celebration of the water deities. These are both loved and feared and their images are painted on either side of doorways of houses, and are propitiated with offerings of milk and puffed rice. At this time entire sheets of serpentine images can be bought, printed in pairs on brightly coloured tissue paper so that they can be affixed to every doorway in the house. == Rose Moon == (15 Svešamēna) the priestly day of attonement commemorating the giving of the Three Laws. Priests ritually cleanse themselves of the sins of the past year with ritual washing and the renewal of priestly symbols, and reaffirm their vows. == Hunters Moon == (15 Dešummēna) the day the Holy Ones return to earth to dwell among humanity so everything must be repaired for them. The festival celebrates not just the return of the Holy Ones but the transformation of life fro m one state to another. Two days beforehand a new pot must be bought and the house swept clean. New account books are begun and businesses close to celebrate their return. The holiday begins with an offering made at the temple followed by a public feast open to everyone, a time of enjoyment, goodwill and license, of present-giving. It is a time of ritual mating and pairbonding. Everyone dresses in holiday clothes and wears the soft cap. Servants are freed from their duties and might even be waited on by their masters and everyone shares in common with everyone else. Each household chooses a mock king to preside over the festivities. As evening approaches each household will put out a lamp in each window to welcome the Holy Ones. == Crossover == (Turamēna) this festival is a moveable one, held on a day announced by the civic justice early in Turamēna to mark the end of the agricultural year. At a crossroad where the boundary of three or four farms meet, a small shrine is erected, open in all four directions to allow free passage to the ancestors that preside over each farm. At the festival the farmers hung up a plough at the shrine, and also a woollen doll for every free person in the household and a woollen ball for every serf. Serfs are allowed a great deal of licence at this festival, which is celebrated with copious beer drinking. == Scripture Days == (13-21 Puramēna) on these days, devout Amenites recite the Hymn of the God in its entirety. Families clean and prepare graves, repainting and decorating them with green branches and flowers and lighting candles on them, this is especially important if a family has lost a member in the preceding three years. The dead are nourished by the food and drink offerings made to them in household shrines. During this period magistrates do not wear the insignia of office, temples are closed and marriages forbidden, although public assemblies may be held. The third day, the Moon before Midwinter, a festival to secure fertility for the fields, the flocks and the people. The worshippers gather at temple for a solemn offering, then the vettens, or wolfdancers, are smeared with red dye and dressed as wolves and bears. They would then travel through the streets in the company of musicians, especially flautists, collecting coins for their dances, chasing children and whipping non-contributors with their tails. The last day of this festival is a public ceremony, when a pot containing a mixture of boiled vegetables is carried to tombs for the use of the dead. At the end of the day the dead are banished with the cry, ''Be gone, ancestors, the festival is over''. Immediately after the Formula Days on the 22nd day of the month a family feast was celebrated to acknowledge the relationship between the dead and living members of the family.

It is spoken in the kingdom called Yllera (that kingdom that was called in olden time Yllem), north of Westmarche and a way to the northwest of Auntimoany. Its sister language, [[Talarian]], is spoken in the neighbouring country of Telera. Some thousands of years ago, according to ancient histories, the sea around which the proto Aryans lived experienced some devastating cataclysm. Though it is generally accepted to be an earthquake and subsequent flood, the legendary material may yet shed some light on the matter. The destruction of this land precipitated a mass exodus in all directions and gave rise to several great language families in both East and West: the Aryan and the Semitic. The ancestors of the Yllurians and Talarians, though they were not yet sundered into two distinct groups, wandered for a time in the east amongst the ancestors of the Persians and Indians. They were much influenced by these peoples and acquired not a few cultural, religious and linguistic borrowings. This folk continued into the Eastlands, at last arriving in the vicinity of several moribund Archaic Empires. They settled in the lands of the old Yllemese kingdom, and while in later years the Talarians moved across the Severn River into Teleran proper, the Yllurians stayed on in the old land of Yllem.

Brithenig is based on a Brythonic substratum, thus resembling Welsh in its phonology. The language was received with enthusiasm in the conlang community, and inspired many conlangers to come up with their own Romance conlangs, such as [[Breathanach]] (Goidelic substratum; Geoff Eddy), [[Wenedyk]] (Polish substratum; Jan van Steenbergen), [[Judajca]] (Hebrew substratum; Steg Belsky) and [[Germanech]] (German substratum; Jörg Rhiemeier). ==Vocabulary== Most of Brithenig's vocabulary is distinctively Romance, even though it is disguised as Welsh. The following list of 30 words gives an impression of what Brithenig looks like in comparison to nine other Romance languages including Wenedyk, and to Welsh. The similarity of about one-quarter of the Welsh words to Brithenig words is due to their common [[Indo-European]] background. ==Contents== A mirror of the Brithenig website: [[The Alphabet in Brithenig]] [[Mutations in Brithenig]] [[Nouns in Brithenig]] [[Pronouns in Brithenig]] [[Adjectives in Brithenig]] [[Verbs in Brithenig]] [[Questions in Brithenig]] [[Commands in Brithenig]] [[Numbers in Brithenig]] [[Brithenig Lexicon]] {|class="wikitable" |+'''Brithenig compared with Romance and Welsh''' !

It is a fictional diachronic language of the Romance family and has about 2500 words in its lexicon. See the link at the end of the article for the grammar and lexicon pages. The following was copied from Langmaker. One of the best of the fictional languages on the web. Brithenig is the language of an alternate history, [[Ill Bethisad]] being the Romance language that might have evolved if Latin speakers had displaced Celtic speakers in Britain. Brithenig has undergone sound changes similar to those of Welsh, and has borrowed from Old Celtic and from Old, Middle and Modern English.

These three types are Tall, Middling Height and Short. Now, we must understand here that these types are not descriptive of the several individuals of a community, but are, rather, descriptive of entire races or tribes of Daine. Within each basic type, there is some variation in stature as well. By far, the Tall Races constitute the vast majority of all Daine. These people stand, as an average adult height, from slightly under six feet tall and do not exceed seven feet in height. The tallest of the Tall Races are the Mahrudaine, who generally average above six feet in height. The others are the Maraghdaine, the Alghadaine, the Athadaine, the Troaghladaine, the Schythondaine and the Hautherdaine. The Sharrundaine were once quite tall, it is said; but it seems that many thousands of years of living destitutely in Old Hoopelle have worn their bodies down somewhat. The average Sharrundaine is about five and a half feet tall. Those of Moderate Height, average from around four to five feet in height. The moderately tall races are: the Aoigheldaine, the Wovydaine, the Bolghaldaine, the Antheldaine and the Scathadaine. The only known Short Race is the Tyngadaine. They average three feet in height. Most Daine have fairly light colored skins. The Troaghladaine, the Maraghdaine, the Mahrudaine and the Hautherdaine are able to become tanned with the Summer sunshine, and become very light in Winter. The Athadaine, the Bolghaldaine and the Antheldaine have very white colored skins that do not tan. The Aoigheldaine and several other related southern Daine races have darker skins. All the others have lighter skins, but can not tan. One of the features that is noticed immediately on any Daine is their hair. The hair on their heads they allow to grow quite long, and only a very few ever cut it in any way, unless the ends get raggedy. They commonly braid their hair; and many simply bind it back lest it get in the way of what they are doing. The Alghadaine have no dark hairs on their bodies, having in stead only a very fine fuzz, which is practically invisible, rather like that found on a young child. Most Alghadaine consider hair on the body an unsightly blemish; and they have been known to kill youngsters who show signs of developping any. Other Daine have rather more hair on their bodies. All Troaghladaine have hairy forearms and calves; and the men have hairy chests and armpits as well. Many also have a "mane" of long hair down their spines. Athadaine have black hair on their heads; and the men grow white downy fur on their chests. The wings are, without doubt, the Daines most visible and striking physical feature. Some Daine have longer or shorter wings than others, and the men have longer wings than the women; but all wings regardless of length are composed of the same five basic kinds of feathers. The most visible, and most highly prized by Antimoaniate dressmakers, are the long feathers. These feathers can reach lengths of two feet, and are found along the lower edges of the wings. Above these are the broad feathers, shorter feathers, six to eight inches long, and are in a band between the long feathers and the short feathers. Modified broad feathers, narrower than regular ones, are found on the area of the back between the wings and in the area between the wings and shoulder blades. Along the upper edge are the short feathers, which are from one to two inches long. In between the feathers, very close to the skin, are downy feathers, soft short feathers that provide excellent insulation. The wingspans are different for each individual, as they are dependent on wing length. The longest wingspans are around twenty feet, assuming a seven foot tall person whose long segments reach from just above the head to the ground. The average wingspan, for a more average six foot tall person, is around fourteen feet. The wings of birds and Daine have been likened to arms and hands, which of course Daine also have. The correlation seems true, and is corroborated by the examination of Daine skeletons during vivisection exercises. Their wings have bones analogous to the humerus, radius, ulna, and all the hand and finger bones, though some are fused. Their shoulder blades are modified to accept the upper bones, and have pockets similar to those which accept the arm bones. Some Daine have been found with a sort of thumb on the wings. The upper two segments of their wings, corresponding to the arm segments, are about as long as their proper arm segments, so about two foot long for both together. The third segment varies considerably. Women have as a rule shorter wings, men have longer ones, and it is the "hand" or most distal segment that varies most. A womans wing might be five foot long when extended, while a mans might be eight foot long. Daine usually keep their wings folded neatly behind them, except when doing things like talking or fighting or engaging in sex. They use wings for pointing and gesticulating as much as they do use their hands and arms to gesticulate. Had they the training in the learned skill, a Daine orator would be quite the sight! Excitement, as when old friends meet, is shown by a rapdid movement of the wing hand up to about horizontal, then back down again; very much in the manner of how our women throw their arms up in order to hug each other upon meeting. An adversarial or indignant stance is signalled by a triangular stance, where the upper segments are perpendicular to the body, the middle segments meet over or behind the head and the wing hands point down toward the ground. Their hands will also be set upon their hips. They often hug each other with their wings as well as their arms, and sometimes they entwine their legs or feet as well; and when walking side by side, people usually have their arms around each other and their wings intertwined. They spread them out a little when they wrestle or fight, and sometimes a man will try to put the long feathers at the wingtip into his opponents face to blind or distract him. Sometimes they use the bony bit at the wrist to strike an opponent. When courting, men will unfold their wings a little to show off any curve and to show off the length of their wings. It is considered a mark of close friendship or family relationship to allow someone to preen and comb out the feathers. They use the <i>carman an tyellow</i> for this, and it be a narrow comb with long broad picks on one end and a single pick at the other. While Men might consider it a landmark to kiss for the first time; a Daine boy considers it quite the hurdle leapt when his lady allows him to comb out her wing feathers. The primary feather colour generally matches the primary hair colour. So, brown haired people have brown wings; but they may also have some yellow, tan, white or even black feathers mixed in there, which are clept secondary colours. Some people have mottled patterns in their feathers; some even have mottled hair colour (areas of brown, tan or yelow). A common pattern is to exhibit darker hair and feathers on one side and lighter hair and feathers on the other. The effect is spectacular in black coloured individuals - where perhaps the left wing will have black feathers and the left arm black hair; across the chest the hair lightens and the head is a swirl of black, white and perhaps grey; the right arm is white and so is the right wing. The effect is frightening if the eyes are coloured differently as well! The most striking feature of the Daine face is their long pointed ears. Other than this they have a similar variety of noses and mouths as do all other peoples on the Earth. Several races, most especially the Mahrudaine, the Bolghaldaine and the Tyngadaine, have rather longer jaws than the others. This gives them the appearance of having snouts like animals; especially the Tyngadaine. Daine teeth are not so regular in size or shape as human teeth. Many races have spiky teeth, with the exception of the front two, others have several extra teeth. Those races that share longness of jaw tend to have two to four extra canine teeth, and these are often quite elongated. The Troaghladaine, Sharrundaine and several other races share wide (sometimes quite wide) front teeth, and often have rather larger teeth in general, making them usually unsuitable as objects of transplant. The internal anatomy of the Daine has been studied to some extent in the medical colleges of both old Hoopelle and in Auntimoany. The chief difference betwixt them and Men lie in the auxilliary vessels that draw the blood from the heart to the head. In Men, there are but two, the greater and lesser vessels of the neck; Daine however have yet two smaller vessels that pass through the bones of their backs and thus may bring blood to the head when the greater vessels be sliced or blocked. There also be two sinews or nerves that pass on either side of the spine and are plainly evident upon dissection. In the pelvic regions, these sinews terminate in a passing wondrous net nigh the tail bones. Apart from this difference, they have the usual number and configuration of other innards, though many vivisection subjects exhibit a curious reversal of their innards, such that their hearts and stomachs and gall sacks be upon the leftward; and they be largely in the same place within the recesses of the body. They have a heart that moves within the marsuppim cardialis; their lungs are two, one to each side of the heart, and draw in breath from the outer airs, and if they be stopped up a Daine will in time choke from the abuse, though it may take up to a day for them to die therefrom. In their bellies there lies the stomach, lengths of viscerales: the minor and the major, the liver, the kidneys, the bladder, the cornua uterus in the women and testicles in the men and the greater vessels that bear blood to and fro. In general, the innards of Daine have been found suitable as objects of transplant, the kidney being perhaps the easiest to manage. Those Daine that have long faces are quite different in their internal structures. Most wondrous are their hearts, for they have two greater hearts within their chests, and four lesser ones within their bellies. Their chests be a tangle of great vessels swooping this way and that, connecting the two chief hearts and the lungs with the great vessels that rise into the neck and descend into the belly. They too have auxilliary vessels in their spines and sinews to either side thereof; though they take only a few hours to die from choking.

The non-final verbs have the form of a shorn maSdar + "i" if the verbs happen one after the other. If the verbs all happen at the same time, the non-final verbs have the form of a shorn maSdar + "ai". If the maSdar is a monosyllable, "eu" is added instead of "i". Here are two examples demonstrating these two forms ;- 1) They caught cooked and eat three fish => catch(i) cook(i) eat(uri) three fish 2) They are going home singing and laughing => sing(ai) laugh(ai) go(ure) home. Now if the actions do not occur strictly one after the other, "i" can not be used. If in the above example, they caught cooked and eat one fish on the first day and two fish on the second day, you would have to use "ai" instead of "i". 3) The boss wrote letters, met supplicants all afternoon. ===The two types mixed=== 4) They will wash iron and fold the shirt => wash(i) iron(i) fold(uru) shirt however if we had 5) She will wash iron and fold the dirty clothes => wash(i) iron(ai) fold(uru) shirt However the above construction is a bit unusual. Although correct, most people would used two "i"s or two "ai"s. ===SVC's with two different objects=== In all the above examples the SVC's have only on object. However it is possible for a SVC to have two objects. For example ;- 5) They drink champagne eat caviar => '''solbai siampena humpuro kawia''' (i.e. they lead the life of Riley) ===What we have two subjects=== If we have two different subjects we can not use a SVC. (or at least what I am calling a SVC here). However we can have two clauses bound tightly together by using the sequential and the simultaneous tenses. Actually the table of tenses given in the chapter "Verbs 1" was incomplete. The full table is given below. {| border=1 |align=center| general |align=center| -'''o''' |- |align=center| past |align=center| -'''i''' |- |align=center| present |align=center| -'''e''' |- |align=center| future |align=center| -'''u''' |- |align=center| perfect |align=center| -'''a''' |- |align=center| past perfect |align=center| -'''ia''' |- |align=center| future perfect |align=center| -'''ua''' |- |align=center| simultaneous |align=center| -'''ai''' |- |align=center| consequential |align=center| -'''eu''' |} A verb ending in "ai" or "eu" takes its tense from the next verb following it. In the case of "ai", the first verb happens at the same time as the second verb. In the case of "eu", the first verb happens immediately before the second verb. WE NEED A GOOD 2 SUB, 2 VERB, 2 OBJECT EXAMPLE HERE '''solbureu siampena humpuro kawia''' = they drink champagne and then eat caviar '''solburai siampena humpuro kawia''' = they drink champagne and eat caviar (i.e. it is understood that the two actions are alternating) We can see that many different time structure are handle by morphology in Seuna. ===the 9 SVC verbs of motion=== Going back to example 1) Here '''nia''' is a second verb indicating motion. Verbs of motion often occur as the non-initial element in SVC's. In this position the motion verb is not so pertinent as the main verb but it certainly clarifies/colours the event described in the clause. There are nine verbs of motion which are very commonly used as such. {| border=1 |align=center| along |align=center| '''lia''' |align=center| to follow |align=center| '''l???''' |- |align=center| past |align=center| '''swia''' |align=center| to pass |align=center| '''sw???''' |- |align=center| across |align=center| '''dia''' |align=center| to cross |align=center| '''d???''' |- |align=center| through |align=center| '''dwia''' |align=center| to go through |align=center| '''dw??''' |- |align=center| up |align=center| '''sia''' |align=center| to ascend |align=center| '''s???''' |- |align=center| down |align=center| '''jia''' |align=center| to descend |align=center| '''j???''' |- |align=center| back |align=center| '''wia''' |align=center| to return |align=center| '''w???''' |- |align=center| away from speaker |align=center| '''gia''' |align=center| go |align=center| '''g??''' |- |align=center| towards speaker |align=center| '''nia''' |align=center| come |align=center| '''n???''' |} Some examples ;- he telephoned (to this location) = wire-speak'''ori nia''' he telephoned (from this location) = wire-speak'''ori gia''' to returned a call = wire-speak '''wia''' These eight words often corespond to prepositions in English. As with prepositions they are often followed by nouns to which they relate. ---- ===the copula in SVC=== In Seuna "he painted the green house" would mean the same as "he painted the house green" because of word order. Therefor to avoid confusion we must say "he painted the house to be green". "to be" in this position is treated as a normal second element in a SVC. It is represented by '''ya''' which is a sort of modified '''ia'''. ===other stuff=== Note ;- In the Seuna writing system '''ia''' is represented by the active verb symbol (i.e. "r") unadorned with a vowel subscript. Some more example ;- he broke into the bathroom = break'''ori''' enter the bathroom normally when the first verb is a word of motion, the word "enter" is not used. '''donori pidwolo''' = "S/he walked in the house" or "S/he walked into the house" However with "break", which is not a verb of motion, you use "enter". ===prepositions not supplanted by the SVC, but by case=== As mentioned above, the second element in many SVC are functionally equivalent to prepositions in English. Other English prepositions are functionally equivalent case tags in Seuna. Having a second verb in SVC's was considered but it was decided to go the "case" route. {| border=1 |align=center| case marking |align=center| English equivalent preposition |align=center| 2nd element of SVC (thought of but not used) |- |align=center| -'''ji''' |align=center| for |align=center| "to give" or "to help" |- |align=center| -'''u''' |align=center| with |align=center| "to use" |- |align=center| -'''ho''' |align=center| with |align=center| to accompany |- |align=center| -'''fi''' |align=center| at |align=center| to be at |- |align=center| -'''le''' |align=center| than |align=center| to surpass |} Also the cases -'''le''', -'''yo''' and -'''wa''' ; could maybe have been reoplaced by verbs meaning "come", "go", "arrive there", "arrive here", "reach", etc. etc. ===other verbs commonly used as SVC elements=== {| border=1 |align=center| meaning when independent verb |align=center| Form when independent |align=center| Meaning when 2nd element of SVC |align=center| Form when 2nd element |- |align=center| to oppose |align=center| '''w???''' |align=center| against |align=center| '''wia''' |- |align=center| to do carelessly |align=center| '''f???''' |align=center| |align=center| '''fia''' |- |align=center| to botch |align=center| '''b???''' |align=center| mis- |align=center| '''bia''' |} to hurry, to gather, to scratter to repeat, ............... (again) to enter, to exit to stop off .................. for a time on a journey(when second element "to take five"??) to connect, to disconnect ... on and off to stay ......................continue, keep on arrive, leave ................... to start, to stop ?? ===deliberate and accidental actions=== '''swela''' by itself means "to pounce on","to jump on", to swoop down on", "to fall on" '''toko''' by itself means "to fall" '''sweli''' after a verb means that that verb was done deliberately '''toki''' after a verb means that that verb was done accidentally ===The four verb forms in Seuna=== The verb '''dono''' (meaning, to walk) is used as an example. 1) '''dono''' is the "source form", which is the same as the infinitive in English. 2) '''donia''' is the "lagging form" and is the form used in non-initial elements of SVC's. 3) '''donais''' (Let's walk) is one of the "weak forms". All forms that have an "s" in the suffix are weak forms. The above form is used in situations in which the subjunctive form is used in some European languages. 4) '''donori''' (S/he walked) is one of the "strong forms". All forms that have an "r" in the suffix are strong forms. ==Rubbish== In this construction one verb comes first and then the second verb follows. (there is a hint of SVC in English when you hear things like "go see" : however that is about as far as it goes in English) In Seuna the first verb is given the full markings for tense, etc. etc. but the second verb has its final vowel deleted and the ending '''i''' added (if the verb is monosyllabic, the ending '''ia''' is added). For example ;- 1) '''donore nia''' = "S/he is walking in this direction" .... S/he is walking come Some examples ;- 2) They caught cook eat three fish ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Dorsoneuralia 5296 44170 2009-03-16T19:19:02Z Christina 18 {{taxoboxstart}} {{Humanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Neoeukaryota}} {{ObTaxo|Kingdom|Neoanimalia}} {{ObTaxo|Phylum|Dorsoneuralia}} |} '''Dorsoneuralia''' (''Lìnrú thwekú'', "Top [nerve] cord") is a phylum of [[neoanimalia|neoanimals]].

They must be nouns. Hence you can not say "He is good". But you must say "He is a good one". The reason for this is because I want to be able to drop the copula in the present tense without creating any ambiguity. Let me explain. "the big man's beer" is rendered '''beer man big''' in Seuna. However this could be reanalysed '''[beer man] big''' which would be "the man's beer is big" if adjective predicates are allowed.

Thank you!'' * NB: In the reconstruction used for this language, the traditional PIE palatovelars ''*ḱ ǵ ǵʰ'' are regarded as allophones of the plain velars. Accordingly, they are all transcribed as ''<k g gʰ>'' in the list of sound changes given below. == Diachronic developments == === Laryngeals === All vowels followed by a laryngeal were lengthened. Also, ''*e ē'' were coloured into '''a ā''' adjacent to ''*h₂'', and into '''o ō''' adjacent to ''*h₃''. * Vowel colouring: ** ''*e ē'' → '''a ā''' / h₂_, _h₂ ** ''*e ē'' → '''o ō''' / h₃_, _h₃ * Vowel lengthening: ** VH → Vː / _C, _# In contrast to most other Indo-European languages, not all prevocalic laryngeals were deleted. Word-initially and between two non-identical vowels ''*h₂ h₃'' were preserved in the form of velar fricatives, with ''*h₃'' retaining its labialization. * Prevocalic laryngeals: ** ''*h₂ h₃'' → '''ɣ ɣʷ''' / V_V ''(where V₁≠V₂)'' ** ''*h₂ h₃'' → '''x xʷ''' / #_V In clusters with a consonant, laryngeals were deleted, but ''*h₂ h₃'' caused frication in preceding voiceless and voiced aspirated plosives that were not preceded by another consonant. Additionally, liquids adjacent to a laryngeal were velarized, with the velarized trill later turning into an uvular '''ʁ'''. * Laryngeals in clusters: ** ''*p t k kʷ'' → '''f s x xʷ''' / [#/V]_[h₂,h₃]V ** ''*bʰ dʰ gʰ gʷʰ'' → '''v z ɣ ɣʷ''' / [#/V]_[h₂,h₃]V ** ''*r l'' → [rˠ lˠ] → '''ʁ ł''' / H_, _H Syllabic ''*h₁ h₂'' were generally reflected as '''a''', and syllabic ''*h₃'' became '''o'''. Word-initial laryngeals before a consonant were only retained in short words which would otherwise have been mono- or (rarely) disyllabic; ''*h₁'' in word-initial position became '''ə''' instead of '''a'''. * Syllabic laryngeals: ** ''*h̥₁ h̥₂ h̥₃'' → Ø / #_C ''(in words with more than two syllables)'' ** ''*h̥₁'' → '''ə''' / #_C ** ''*h̥₁ h̥₂ h̥₃'' → '''a a o''' In all other positions, laryngeals were dropped: * ''*h₁ h₂ h₃'' → Ø === Vocalisation of syllabic sonants === The syllabic sonants of PIE developed an epenthetic schwa, usually at the same side of the sonant that would contain the full-grade vowel of the syllable. Sometimes the vowel was inserted on the other side instead, mostly splitting up awkward clusters. A few such exceptions were later generalized to become part of regular morphological patterns. * Ø → '''ə''' / _R̥ ~ R̥_ * R̥ → R === Voiced plosive merger === PIE voiced aspirated stops ''*bʰ dʰ gʰ gʷʰ'' became fricatives in postvocalic position before another plosive, and intervocalically when post-tonic. In all other positions they merged with the plain voiced stops. * ''*bʰ dʰ gʰ gʷʰ'' → '''v z ɣ ɣʷ''' / V_[+plosive], "(...)V_V * ''*bʰ dʰ gʰ gʷʰ'' → '''b d g gʷ''' === The satem change === All non-labialized velar consonants (this includes both plain and palatalized velars in the traditional reconstruction) became postalveolars before PIE ''*j i ī e ē''. * ''*k g x ɣ'' → '''č dž š ž''' / _[j,i,ī,e,ē] === Assibilation of dentals === Dental stops ''*t d'' became alveolar affricates '''c dz''' before ''*j i ī''. Clusters of two dental stops fricated their first element. * ''*t d'' → '''c dz''' / _[i,ī] * ''*tj dj'' → '''c dz''' * ''*t d'' → '''s z''' / _[t,d,c,dz] === Vowel shift === PIE ''*u ū'' fronted to '''y ȳ''' in all positions. This caused a pull shift by which ''*o ō'' raised to '''u ū''', and ''*e ē'' lowered to '''a ā'''. The PIE diphthongs ''*ei ēi eu ēu oi ōi ou ōu'' also raised to become the monophthongs '''i ī y ȳ y ȳ u ū''' respectively. PIE ''*ai āi au āu'' were unchanged in quality, but lost their length distinction. The reduced vowel ''*ə'' that had appeared adjacent to earlier syllabic sonants raised and fronted to merge into short '''i''', except adjacent to a labiovelar or if followed by a stressed rounded vowel in the next syllable, in which case it became '''u'''. * ''*u ū o ō e ē'' → '''y ȳ u ū a ā''' * ''*ei ēi eu ēu oi ōi ou ōu'' → '''i ī y ȳ y ȳ u ū''' * ''*āi āu'' → '''ai au''' * ''*ə'' → '''u''' / Kʷ_, _Kʷ, _$"[y,u] * ''*ə'' → '''i''' As a result of this vowel shift, the allophonic distribution of plain and palatal velars was disturbed, and palatalization had become phonemic before '''a ā y ȳ i'''. Because consonant alternation within a single paradigm was not permitted in PIE while a vowel interchange was possible, either a palatal or a velar phoneme was generalized for each lexeme. These were usually taken from the most frequently occurring variant, i.e. those found in the nominative and accusative cases for nouns, and those found in the 3sg present and/or aorist for verbs. Unlike Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian, however, the vowel shift had not caused a merger of PIE ''*a ā'' and ''*o ō'', and so the eventual distribution of palatal vs. velar sounds ended up slightly different compared to other satem languages. === RUKI === The vowel shift had also considerably expanded the environment for the RUKI sound law by increasing the number of high vowels. By this change, ''*s z'' became postalveolar '''š ž''' after the segments '''r u K i''' and '''y''', where '''K''' is a cover term for ''*k g x ɣ'', and '''u i''' includes ''*au ai''. If preceded by a monophthongal vowel, the voiced fricative ''*z'' rhotacised to a postalveolar approximant '''ɹ''' instead. ''*r'' before coronal or palatal consonants also became '''ɹ''', which then quickly merged into '''ʁ'''. * ''*s'' → '''š''' / [r,u,K,i,y]_ * ''*z'' → '''ž''' / [r,K,ai,au]_ * ''*z'' → [ɹ] → '''ʁ''' / [u,i,y]_ * ''*r'' → [ɹ] → '''ʁ''' / _[+coronal], _[+palatal] === Consonant voicing === All fricatives came to be voiced before vowels word-initially, intervocalically, and adjacent to a voiced plosive or liquid. In all other positions they were pronounced voiceless. Word-finally or before another voiceless consonant, plosives and affricates were also devoiced. ''These rules have remained productive until modern times.'' * F → [+voice] / #_V, V(L)_V, [+plosive +voice]_V * F → [-voice] / ''(elsewhere)'' * P → [-voice] / _#, _[-voice] === Loss of labialisation === ''*i ī ai a ā'' were rounded to '''y ȳ öy o ō''' adjacent to labiovelars and before intervocalic ''*w ɣʷ'', which subsequently merged into '''v'''. All other instances of ''*w'' were then lost adjacent to '''u ū y ȳ'''. Labiovelar obstruents were reanalysed as plain labials when followed by another, non-labial obstruent, as clusters of a velar obstruent plus '''v''' in intervocalic position not preceding a rounded vowel, and as plain velars elsewhere. As with the satem change, the most dominant outcome of these consonant changes was usually generalized throughout each morphological paradigm. * ''*i ī ai a ā'' → '''y ȳ öy o ō''' / Kʷ_, _Kʷ, _wV * ''*w ɣʷ'' → '''v''' / V_V * ''*w'' → Ø / [u,ū,y,ȳ]_, _[u,ū,y,ȳ] * ʷ → '''v''' / V[+velar]_[+vowel -rounded] * [+velar +labial] → [-velar] / _C * [+velar +labial] → [-labial] <!-- === Vowel shift #2 === Stressed long vowels diphthongised into '''íə ýə úə áə''' in word-initial position and when followed by a single consonant. The schwa offglide then developed into a front or back vowel depending on the vowel of the following syllable, eventually yielding the diphthongs '''jé jő jó wé wá wó ái őy áu'''. * ''*iə'' → '''jö''' / _$[y,ö,u,o]; → '''je'''' elsewhere * ''*yə'' → '''jo''' / _$[u,o]; → '''jö''' elsewhere * ''*uə'' → '''we''' / _$[i,y]; → '''wa''' / _$[a,ai,au], → '''wo''' elsewhere * ''*aə'' → '''au''' / _$[u,o]; → '''öy''' / _$[y,ö], → '''ai''' elsewhere --> === Umlaut === <!-- ''*a ā u ū'' underwent i-umlaut to '''e ai y ȳ''' if the next syllable contained '''i ī''', and ''*a ā'' also underwent u-umlaut if the next syllable contained '''u ū'''. In addition to this, stressed ''*u ū o ō au'' umlauted to '''y ȳ ö öy öy''' if the next syllable contained '''y ȳ'''. * ''*a ā u ū'' → '''e ai y ȳ''' / _$[i,ī] * ''*a ā'' → '''o au''' / _$[u,ū] * ''*u ū o ō au'' → '''y ȳ ö öy öy''' / "_$[y,ȳ] --> Many vowels underwent umlaut depending on the vowel of the following syllable. In polysyllabic words, the stressed vowel was usually affected first, and the penultimate vowel second. Evidence for three or more vowels within the same word undergoing umlaut processes is very rare, but may have been obscured due to later syncope and analogical leveling. * ''*a ā y ȳ u ū ai au'' → '''ä ai i ī y ȳ e ai''' / _$[i,ī] * ''*a ā i ī y ȳ ai au'' → '''o au y ȳ u ū öy o''' / _$[u,ū] * ''*i ī y ȳ u ū'' → '''e ie ö yö o uo''' / _$[a,ā] * ''*a ā ai au'' → '''ö öy öy öy''' / _$[y,ȳ] === Syncope === Unstressed short vowels in non-initial open syllables were generally lost if a two-consonant cluster consisting of a nasal or liquid followed by an obstruent could be formed. Syncope of such vowels was also likely between two single obstruents or word-finally. Where syncope did not occur, this was usually motivated by a trend to avoid certain types of clusters; for instance, no clusters containing two fricatives of different POA were created, and affricates could only be the second component of newly-formed clusters. On the other hand, clusters of sibilant plus plosive counted as single segments for the purposes of syncope. The last vowel of a word - if it was both short and unstressed - was usually syncopated even in closed syllables, provided it was preceded by a sonorant and followed by an obstruent. If several adjacent syllables were liable to syncope, vowels immediately following the main stress were most likely to be dropped first. * [+vowel -long -stress] → Ø / V[N/L]_[(s,š)P/F][V/#] * [+vowel -long -stress] → Ø / V(N/L)C_# * [+vowel -long -stress] → Ø / V(s,š)P_FV, VF_[c,č,P]V ''(with some exceptions)'' === Minor vowel changes === Falling diphthongs ''*ai öy au'' monophthongised to '''e ö o''' in closed syllables. Short unstressed ''*e i y u'' lowered to '''ä e ö o''' if followed by a dorsal liquid '''ʁ ł'''. After this, all long vowels were shortened. * ''*ai öy au'' → '''e ö o''' / _CC, _C# * ''*e i y u'' → '''ä e ö o''' / _[ʁ,ł] ''(unstressed)'' * Vː → V === Simplification of clusters === Clusters of nasal + obstruent assimilated to the POA of the obstruent. Cluster-final fricatives fortified into affricates if preceded by a postvocalic nasal or liquid. Coda ''*ʁ'' dropped out if followed by a consonant, and prevocalic '''*j''' was lost from all clusters containing a postalveolar phoneme. Prevocalic velar fricatives preceded by a consonant merged into '''ʁ'''. * ''*n'' → '''m''' / _[+labial] * ''*m'' → '''n''' / _[+consonant -labial] * '''n''' → [ŋ] / _[+velar] ''(allophonic)'' * [+fricative] → [+affricate] / V(N/L)_ * ''*ʁ'' → Ø / _C * ''*j'' → Ø / [+postalveolar]_V * ''*x ɣ'' → '''ʁ''' / C_V === Stress shift === Word stress became fixed on the first vowel of a word, with the exception that prefixed reduplication remained unstressed in words of three or more syllables. === Vowel harmony === Labial rising diphthongs ''wa wo we wö wi'' monophthongized to '''o o ö ö y'''. Palatal rising diphthongs were also monophthongized, but with varying outcome: Depending on the quality of the stressed vowel of the same word, a vowel harmony process affected all unstressed vowels and assimilated or dissimilated them in relation to the accented syllable. * ''*wa wo we wö wi'' → '''o o ö ö y''' / C_ * ''*o'' → '''ö''' / "_$ö * ''*u'' → '''y''' / "_$y * ''*a ä e i ai'' → '''ö ö ö y öy''' / _$"[y,ö] * ''*u o au'' → '''y ö öy''' / "[y,ö]$(...)_, _$"[y,ö] * ''*y ö öy'' → '''i e ai''' / "[u,o,a]$(...)_, _$"[i,e,ä] * ''*y ö öy'' → '''u o au''' / "[i,e,ä]$(...)_, _$"[u,o,a] * ''*ju jo jö je ja'' → '''y ö ö ö ö''' / "[y,ö]$(...)C_ * ''*ju jo jö je ja'' → '''i''' / "[u,o,a]$(...)C_ * ''*ju jo jö je ja'' → '''u o o e e''' / "[e,ä]$(...)C_ * ''*ju jo jö je ja'' → '''u o o a a''' / "i$(...)C_ * ''*ä'' → '''e''' / ''(still written '''ä''' if '''y ö''' occur in the same word)'' <!-- === Reanalysis: Root-and-pattern morphology === At this point, most lexical and grammatical distinctions were signified by vowel changes within a triconsonantal root. Most remaining inconsistencies were leveled away by analogy, and root-and-pattern derivation became a highly productive process. Where a root exhibited consonant alternations, the paradigm was usually generalized to the most frequently occurring consonant sequence. In some cases, the rarer sequence lexicalised as a separate root. --> == Phoneme inventory == === Consonants === {| {{bluetable2}} |- align=center ! ! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; labial &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; coronal &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; palatal &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dorsal &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |- align=center ! plosive | '''p · b''' | '''t · d''' | | '''k · g''' |- align=center ! affricate | ''(pf)'' | '''c''' | '''č''' | ''(kx)'' |- align=center ! fricative | '''v''' | '''s''' | '''š''' | '''x''' |- align=center ! nasal | '''m''' | '''n''' | | |- align=center ! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; liquid/semivowel | | '''l · r''' | '''j''' | '''ł · ř''' |- |} * The phonemic status of the labial and dorsal affricates '''pf kx''' is uncertain.

It is sometimes counted as a subphylum of ''asegmata'' (in this classification, octopoda and hexapoda are demoted to superclasses). == History of Category == At one time, endosteia included a class ''tetrapoda'' (equivalent to the modern [[dorsoneuralia]]). Tetrapoda was later raised to subphylum status as ''dorsoneuralia'', with another subphylum ''ventroneuralia'', subdivided into superclasses [[hexapoda]] and [[octopoda]]. Biologists were slow to move dorsoneuralia out of endosteia, despite their considerable differences. It was not until the acceptance of the [[xenogenesis theory]] that dorsoneuralia was promoted to phylum status. == Characteristics == Endosteians are marked by the following characteristics *Presence of an [[Wikipedia:endoskeleton|endoskeleton]] *Ventral nerve cord *Eight limbs, at least in embryonic development == Evolutionary History == The ancestors of endosteia possessed an [[Wikipedia:exoskeleton|exoskeleton]]. This exoskeleton was lost, and an endoskeleton subsequently evolved. The earliest endosteians were aquatic animals living on the bottom of the sea floor, typically in shallow waters, and were eight-limbed. Endosteians have colonized land on three distinct occasions, twice among the [[Octopoda]] ([[nocturnalia]] in one group, the other three classes in the other), and once among the [[hexapoda]]. In the ancestors of hexapoda, the front two pairs of limbs merged into a single pair. Today, most endosteians are terrestrial, with a few secondarily aquatic groups, and two classes of primitively aquatic species. == Classes == === Subphylum [[Hexapoda]] === *[[Osteopterygia]] ==== Superclass [[Prototerrestria]] ==== *[[Alarvacea]] *[[Paleohexapoda]] (extinct) *[[Paleovolantes]] (extinct) *[[Thermovaria]] === Subphylum [[Octopoda]] === *[[Hydroctopoda]] (paraphyletic to tritoterrestria) *[[Nocturnalia]] ==== Superclass [[Tritoterrestria]] ==== *[[Palustria]] ===== Clade [[Plumata]] ===== *[[Ambulaplumata]] *[[Volantaplumata]] [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] User:Aiyaa 5323 33292 2008-06-25T20:14:01Z Aiyaa 1221 == Phonology == ===Vowels=== '''a ŏ''' /a ɒ/<br> '''i y''' /i ɪ/<br> '''e ē''' /ɛ ɛ:/<br> '''o ō''' /ɔ ɔ:/<br> '''u ū''' /u u:/<br> <br> *Notes<br> /ɪ ɛ/ are often merged into [ə] word-finally.<br> /u/ is usually [ʊ] before the nasal /ŋ/ or before /k/ when it appears word finally.<br> There are no true diphthongs, vowel sequences tend to be avoided.<br> ===Consonants=== '''p t k''' /p t k/ <br> '''d g''' /d g/<br> '''kw gw''' /kʷ gʷ/<br> '''s š h''' /s ʃ x/<br> '''m n ng''' /m n ŋ/ <br> '''r l ly''' /ɾ l ʎ/<br> '''w y''' /w j/ <br> '''c ngs''' /ts ŋks/<br> <br> *Notes<br> /ptk/ are slightly aspirated, they are unreleased word-finally and before another stop.<br> /t/ is dental.<br> /d/ is geminated word-medially, and is further back than the English d.<br> /g/ is often realized as [ŋ] word-intially, and [ŋŋg] word-medially.<br> /gʷ/ behaved the same way as /g/, often being pronounced [ŋgʷ].<br> /s/ is often slightly palatalized, especially before /i ɪ/.<br> /ʃ/ is post-alveolar, like /d/, but slightly further back than the English /ʃ/.<br> /ŋ/ is always followed by /k/ or /g/ word-medially.<br> /ɾ/ is also post-alveolar, often devoiced word-finally and before other voiceless consonants.<br> /l/ is always a 'dark l' [ɫ] in contrast to /ʎ/.<br> /w j/ are geminated between vowels.<br> /ŋks/ may be [ŋgz] for some speakers between vowels.<br> <br> ===Phonological Constraints=== Any vowel or single consonant [apart from ng] may begin a word.<br> Initial consonants clusters permitted: /ps ts ks kt pt/<br> <br> Any consonant may appear word-medially, /ŋ/ is always followed by /k/ or /kʷ/.<br> Medial consonant clusters: /kt pt ts ks ps rts mts ŋk ŋks ŋkʷ kn tn pn sn lŋg/<br> <br> Words may end in the vowels: /a ɒ ɪ ɛ u/<br> Word-final consonants: /p t k ʃ n m ŋ r ʎ/<br> Word-final clusters: /ps ts ks mts ŋks rts/<br> <br> ===Stress=== Stress is primarily word-initial, although it tends to be very slight.

Because this is a reconstructed form of the language, there are no traces of writing, etc. of the language, and therefore no lexical item, point of syntax, or morphological paradigm is guaranteed to be 100% accurate, but instead, an approximation of how the language actually was spoken thousands of years ago (approximately 6,000-8,000 BC) ==Phonology== This is the reconstructed phonology of Proto-Ōšqʷiť, which was put together via the comparative method, comparing the sound systems (or approximate sound systems, in the case of dead branches) or all 12 established branches of the Ōšqʷiť family. <br> ===Consonants=== Proto-Ōšqʷiť has a complex system of consonants, in that there are 3 <i>phonemic</i> series of nearly all the sounds: plain, palatized, and labialized. This triples the amount of consonants that many of its descendants have, but are included in the reconstruction because there are still traces of this 3-way distinction in all of the 12 branches of descendants (however, the distinction may have been lost in various languages of the branches over time). Additionally, a 3-way distinction in stops is also reconstructed, being voiced, voiceless, and voiceless aspirated. <br> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiodent. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Uvular ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || m mʲ mʷ|| || || || || || n nʲ nʷ || || || ŋ ŋʲ ŋʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive-voiced || || b bʲ bʷ || || || || || || d dʲ dʷ || || || g gʲ gʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive-unvoiced || || p pʲ pʷ || || || || || || t tʲ tʷ || || || k kʲ kʷ || || || q qʲ qʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive-aspirated || || pʰ pʲʰ pʷʰ || || || || || || t tʲʰ tʷʰ || || || k kʲʰ kʷʰ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative-voiced || || || || || || ð ðʲ ðʷ || || z zʲ zʷ || || || || || || ʁ ʁʲ ʁʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative-unvoiced || || || f fʲ fʷ || || || θ θʲ θʷ || || s sʲ sʷ || || ʃ ʃʲ ʃʷ || || || || χ χʲ χʷ || || h hʲ hʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate-voiced || || || || || || || || d͡z d͡zʲ d͡zʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate-unvoiced || || || || || || || || t͡s t͡sʲ t͡sʷ || || ͡ʧ ͡ʧʲ ͡ʧʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || r || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || l lʲ lʷ || |} </div> In addition, there are two semi-vowels, /j w/, although it has not been determined yet if (plain consonant)+(semivowel) contrasts with the palatized and labialized versions of the sound, as well. <br> ===Vowels=== Most reconstructions of Proto-Ōšqʷiť have a 6 vowel system, as follows: {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close || i || || || || || u || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close-Mid || || || || || || o || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || ə || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open-Mid || e || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open || a || |} <br> In terms of diphthongs, any vowel could be followed by any other vowel, but sequences of two of the same vowel in a row were reanalyzed as long vowels, giving 12 total vowel phonemes: /a a: e e: i i: o o: u u: ə ə:/ Explicitly, the diphthongs were: {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=7 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=1| -a ||colspan=1| -e ||colspan=1| -i ||colspan=1| -o ||colspan=1| -u ||colspan=1| -ə |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| a- || a: || ae || ai || ao || au || aə || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| e- || ea || e: || ei || eo || eu || eə || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| i- || ia || ie || i: || io || iu || iə || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| o- || oa || oe || oi || o: || ou || oə || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| u- || ua || ue || ui || uo || u: || uə || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| ə- || əa || əe || əi || əo || əu || ə: || |} User:Tvk 5325 37141 2008-09-03T22:27:47Z Tvk 1222 Conlangs: [[Tsani]] [['ižiitsigh]] Kasshi 5326 33303 2008-06-26T00:39:21Z Elassint 1223 Redirecting to [[Category:Kasshi]] #REDIRECT [[:Category:Kasshi]] Proto-Utaıjen 5327 33416 2008-06-26T20:29:22Z Maailmaniag 263 /* Vowels */ {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |'''Proto-Utaıjen'''<br>'''Utaıjen''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||The Middle East |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||Earth, alternate universe |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||??? |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||[[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]]<br> &nbsp;'''Proto-Utaıjen''' |- |valign="top"|Basic word order: ||SOV |- |valign="top"|Morphological type: ||Inflecting |- |valign="top"|Morphosyntactic alignment: ||Nominative-Accusative |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||maailmaniag ||June 18th 2008 |} Proto-Utaıjen (/u.ta:.jen/) emerged from the most conservative dialect of [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]]. Therefore, many of the phonological features in [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]] have been retained, including the three-way plain/palatized/labialized distinction, as well as many morphological features. Like [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]], we do not know exactly what Proto-Utaıjen sounded like; however, this is the first of the daughter languages to actually be written down, dating back to 1,500 BC, and therefore one of the more accurate "reconstructions" of [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]]'s daughter languages. Because it is also one of the more conservative dialects, and because it was written down, we can get a feeling of what [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]] was like, and what it would have looked like written down. <br> ==Phonology== Although there are written records of Proto-Utaıjen, the exact phonology is not as certain, and assumes that the writing system (an alphabet) was largely phonemic ===Consonants=== As mentioned earlier, Proto-Utaıjen shares a significant portion of its consonant inventory with it's predecessor, and therefore, not much is different. However, one significant change is the merging of the aspirated stops with the voiceless stops, one of the first reconstructed sound changes from [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]] to Proto-Utaıjen. This gives a consonant inventory that looks something like this:<br> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiodent. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Uvular ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || m mʲ mʷ|| || || || || || n nʲ nʷ || || || ŋ ŋʲ ŋʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive-voiced || || b bʲ bʷ || || || || || || d dʲ dʷ || || || g gʲ gʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive-unvoiced || || p pʲ pʷ || || || || || || t tʲ tʷ || || || k kʲ kʷ || || || q qʲ qʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative-voiced || || || || || || ð ðʲ ðʷ || || z zʲ zʷ || || || || || || ʁ ʁʲ ʁʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative-unvoiced || || || f fʲ fʷ || || || θ θʲ θʷ || || s sʲ sʷ || || ʃ ʃʲ ʃʷ || || || || χ χʲ χʷ || || h hʲ hʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate-voiced || || || || || || || || d͡z d͡zʲ d͡zʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate-unvoiced || || || || || || || || t͡s t͡sʲ t͡sʷ || || ͡ʧ ͡ʧʲ ͡ʧʷ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || r || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || l lʲ lʷ || |} </div> <br> There are also two semi-vowels, /j w/ that were inherited as well. ===Vowels=== The vowels are the aspect of the phonology that was most changed in comparison to [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]].

It is the daughter of an unnamed proto-language. The vocabulary is a priori. Tsani is designed to be strongly head-first. The normal word order is VSO. Role-marking particles and prepositions make the structure of a sentence clear, and free up word order for such things as passive constructions (which, in effect, simply switch word order to verb-patient-agent.) Tvk designed Tsani as a personal language for journaling. It is designed to reflect his personal aesthetic taste in languages and worldview. It is also designed to be easy to learn and use, and to be easy to understand even out of context. Methods of achieving the former criteria were inspired largely by [[Toki Pona]] and some natural creoles; the methods used to achieve the latter criterion were inspired by everything other than Toki Pona. [[Japanese]] is also a major source of inspiration, and the creator has described his language as Japanese with backward syntax. ==Internal History== Tsani is derived from an unnamed protolanguage. The sound changes involved voicing initial glottalized stops, voicing medial non-glottalized stops, and losing the glottalization distinction. Phonetic glottalization did not persist after phonemic glottalization was lost. Tsani has a sister-language, [[Zãi]]. ==Phonology== ===Phoneme Inventory=== *Vowels: <a e i o u> /a E i o u/ *Stops: &lt;p t k d b g ty ky kw> /p t k d b g t_j k_j k_w/ *Nasals: <m n ng ny nw> /m n N n_j n_w/ *Laterals/Flap: <l ly lw> /l l_j l_w/ *Sibilants: &lt;s sh> /s S/ *Affricates: <ts ks ksh> /ts ks kS/ *Approximants: <h w y> /h w j/ ===Allophony=== */E/ = [e] word-finally or before [4]. */t p k d b g/ may be [t_h p_h k_h d_h b_h g_h] word-initially if not part of a cluster. */t_j/ = [tS] before /i/ or in the cluster <chw> = /tSw/ */m n N/ = [m= n= N=] between consonants or word-initially if followed by a consonant. */l/ = [4] before /u/ or /i/ */tl/ = [tK] For ease of reading by speakers of English and other European languages, the Romanization spells the realization [tS] as <ch> and [4] as <r>, even though these spelling changes are not reflected in the native script. ===Phonotactics=== Syllable structure is (C)(C)(s, l)V(n). The -n coda may assimilate to the point of articulation of the following consonant, if there is one. Otherwise, it remains [n]. If the coda is followed by a vowel within the same word, an apostrophe is inserted between the -n and the vowel to indicate that they belong to separate syllables. For the purposes of syllable structure, syllabic nasals may be considered vowels. The only constraint is that such a syllable cannot have a coda or have a nasal as its onset. Legal diphthongs are /ai au ei oi ui/. Of these, only ai is common. The others occur mostly as a result of derivation or in loanwords. In cases where morphology would result in a sequence of vowels that does not form a diphthong, a glide /w/ or /j/ is inserted between them. In cases where the first vowel is /a/, /e/, or /i/, the preferred glide is /j/; if the first vowel is /o/ or /u/, the glide is /w/. Legal consonant clusters are <tk kt kp tl nt nk np ngk ngt ngp mp mt mk kts ktl chw>. These can all occur initially. ky, ly, y, ts, ks and s cannot occur before i. kw, lw, chw and w cannot occur before u. ===Stress=== Stress is on the syllable containing the penultimate mora. CV and V syllables are one mora, CVn syllables and diphthongs are two. Secondary stress occurs on alternate syllables; if the final syllable has primary stress, the antepenultimate often receives strong secondary stress. Monosyllabic particles, adpositions, and conjunctions are always unstressed in speech. Tsani does not have morphemic pitch accent, but the relative pitches of syllables in a word is fairly consistent. In general, stressed syllables have higher pitch than unstressed syllables. Words have a generally descending tone contour, but the lowest pitch occurs on the syllable between the primary and secondary stresses. ==Syntax and Grammar== Word order is [[VSO]]. ===Nominal Morphology=== All words that have nominal syntactical function end in -a. (The converse is not true, however.) This makes nouns easy to identify. In a noun phrase, the order is head, adjectives, genitive(or relative clause). A noun cannot usually be modified by a [[genitive]] and a [[relative clause]] simultaneously, as this would cause ambiguity as to whether the relative clause modified the genitive or the head noun. In some contexts where the speaker's intention is clear, it is considered acceptable in informal speech, though never in formal speech or writing. For example, {| ! Ne || niya || tsaru || Amerikai || kiporu || ka || ko || mukowan || nai. |- | ''at'' || ''this'' || ''person-exist'' || ''America-GEN'' || ''that-protect'' || ''REL'' || ''ACC'' || ''cow-PL'' || ''1P-GEN'' |} This is the American man who takes care of my cows. It's clear that "takes care of my cows" can only modify "the man", not "America." Modifiers can precede or follow the verb, or they can be placed at the end of the sentence and separated from it by the particle ''wa''. The [[direct object]] of a sentence is preceded by the particle ''ko''. The [[genitive]] is formed with the ending ''-i''. The [[plural]] is formed with the ending ''-n''. The genitive plural is formed with the ending ''-ni''. The plural is not marked on the noun when the noun is modified by a numeral or ''adogi'', which means "many, much." The genitive has a wider range of uses than does the [[possessive]] in [[English]]. In general, its function is to allow a noun to function as an adjective and thus modify another noun. Whereas the English possessive ''-'s'' can typically only be paraphrased using the preposition "of", the genitive in Tsani can paraphrase constructions with almost any preposition. The exact relationship between the head noun and the genitive noun is determined by context. ===Verbal Morphology=== All verb roots end in ''-u''. Conjugated verbs do not, since the tense suffixes are derived from adjectives in the proto-language and hence end in ''-i''. Tsani has three verb tenses: Imperfect, Perfect, and Potential. The Imperfect is unmarked; the Perfect is marked with the suffix ''-wani'' and the Potential is marked with the suffix ''-wachi'' The imperfect tense is used for actions which are happening in the present, occur habitually, are generally true, or have not been completed. The perfect tense is used for completed actions or events in the past. The potential is used for actions and events that have not yet occurred. Verbs are negated by adding the suffix ''-n''. This can be affixed before or after the tense ending, depending on where the speaker wants to put the emphasis. Contrast: '''marunwani''' maru-n-wani ''go-NEG-PERF'' He didn't go '''maruwanin''' maru-wani-n ''go-PERF-NEG'' He didn't go The first example implies that the subject is not likely to complete the action in the future, while the second is "he didn't go, but still might later." Tsani makes use of serial verb constructions such as '''niru maru na''' for "I want to go" The imperative is formed by preceding the sentence with ''ai''. This is equivalent to "please". In informal situations, or if the second person is of lower status, the Imperfect may be used. In formal situations, or when talking to superiors, the Potential must be used with imperatives. To ask for an object, ''ai'' can be used before a noun. Yes/no questions are formed by placing the particle ''mo'' directly after the part of the sentence in question. The words for "yes" and "no", ''aya'' and ''lo'', are used to express the speaker's agreement or disagreement with the statement in question, similar to ''hai'' and ''iie'' in Japanese. Other questions are formed using the noun/adjective/verb triplet ''ma, mi, mu''. These words act as a "filler" that is to be replaced by the person answering the question. Word order is not altered for interrogatives. Compare the following questions and answering statements: '''Sobuwani mo la ko tyala nai?''' "Did you drink my milk?" '''Aya, sobuwani''' "Yes, (I) drank (it)." OR '''Lo, sobuwanin''' "No, (I) didn't drink (it)." '''Sobuwani la mo ko tyala nai?''' "Did ''you'' drink my milk?" '''Aya, na''' "Yes, I (drank it)." OR '''Lo, nanun''' "No, (it) wasn't I." '''Sobuwani la ko tyala nai mo?''' "Did you drink ''my'' milk?" '''Aya, lai''' "Yes, yours." OR '''Lo, lain''' "No, not yours." '''Sobuwani ma ko tyala nai?''' "Who drank my milk?" '''Sobuwani na ko tyala lai.''' "I drank your milk." '''Sobuwani la ko ma?''' "What did you drink?" '''Sobuwani na ko tyala.''' "I drank milk." '''Sobuwani la ko tyala mai?''' "Whose milk did you drink?" '''Sobuwani na ko tyala lai.''' "I drank your milk." '''Sobuwani la ko tyala mi?''' "What kind of milk did you drink?" '''Sobuwani na ko tyala poni mukowai.''' "I drank good milk from a cow." '''Sobuwani la ko tyala adogi mi?''' "How much milk did you drink?" '''Sobuwani na ko tyala adogin.''' "I drank a little bit of milk." '''Sobuwani mi la ko tyala?''' "How (in what manner) did you drink the milk?" '''Sobuwani hapi na ko tyala.''' "I drank the milk quickly." '''Muwani la ko tyala?''' "What did you do with the milk?" '''Sobuwani na ko sa, la tsa kuki.''' "I drank it, you silly person." ==Pronouns== The pronouns are: {| | '''na''' || (1p) |- | '''la''' || (2p) |- | '''sa''' || (3p) |- | '''owa''' || (topic) |- | '''ka''' || (relative) |- | '''ma''' || (interrogative) |} These are entirely regular in their inflection. Forms of "we" can be created by compounding the pronouns: ''nala'' for dual "we", ''nasa'' for exclusive, etc. The common masculine and feminine endings ''ga'' and ''la'' can also be added to the third-person pronouns: ''saga'' "he" and ''sala'' "she". However, this isn't normally used, since the Tsan people consider it rude to rely on someone's gender to make it clear whom you're talking about. Tsani is pro-drop. Often one or more arguments of the verb are completely inferred. The default is usually 3PS (or 2PS for interrogatives in the perfect tense, or 1P dual for interrogatives in the imperfect) unless context suggests otherwise. The topic pronoun is used to refer to a topic which was previously marked with the particle ''o''. This particle precedes the noun as well as any preposition or other particle that may be associated with it. The relative pronoun is used inside relative clauses. The antecedent of this pronoun is always the noun being modified by the relative clause. ==Other Constructions== ===Relative Clauses=== Relative clauses are formed by prefixing ''ki-'' to the verb and using the relative pronoun ''ka. ''Word order is not altered within the subclause. ''Ka'' can be left out of the subclause if the verb is intransitive or the relative pronoun is the agent of the sentence with all other arguments explicit. The relative clause must also modify the last argument of the independent clause in order for omission of the relative pronoun to be possible. There is an added complication - in the development from the proto-language to Tsani, medial stops were voiced, but medial glottalized stops were left unvoiced (and un-glottalized). By contrast, initial glottalized stops were voiced and un-glottalized. Because of this, prefixes in Tsani (at least ones that were productive during the transition period) cause a switch in voicing on initial stops. Thus: p b -> b p t d -> d t k g -> g k For example: '''Pemu na wa ne kalada.''' "I sit in a tree." '''kalada kibemu na wa ne ka.''' "the tree that I sit in" '''Deguwani la ko latsa.''' "You wrote a book." '''latsa kiteguwani la ko ka''' "the book that you wrote" This doesn't apply to when consonants are in clusters; for example: '''Ktuwani kuna ko sa.''' "The dog bit him." '''kuna kiktuwani ko sa''' "The dog that bit him." More examples: '''Maru ne nomuwena i tsaga.''' "The man goes to the market." '''tsaga kimaru ne nomuwena i ka''' "the man who goes to the market" '''tsaga kimaru ne nomuwena''' "the man who goes to the market" '''nomuwena kimaru tsa ne ka''' "the market that the man went to" '''Maruwani ne nomuwena Kename so tsaga.''' "Kename and the man went to the market." '''tsaga kimaruwani ne nomuwena Kename so ka.''' "The man that Kename went to the market with." Tsani can even do some things that are not possible in English: '''Sekyanu nai so tsai shi Kename.''' "Kename is a friend of mine and that person's." '''tsa shi kisekyanu nai so kai Kename.''' <nowiki>*</nowiki>"that person who Kename is a friend of me and" ===The Passive Voice=== In passive constructions, the "object" (really the semantic agent) is preceded by the particle ''i'', whereas the "subject" (semantic patient) is optionally marked with ''ko''. '''Maktaruwani Peteri ko niya.''' "Peter sent this." '''Maktaruwani niya i Peteri''' "This was sent by Peter." ==Derivational Affixes== ===Verb Roots=== '''(''mtu'' "eat")''' *mtuwa "eating (gerund)" *mtuwi "eating (active participle)" *mtukshi "eaten (passive participle)" *mtupi "able to be eaten, edible" *mtuwabi “able to eat” *mtusoi “liking/wanting to eat, hungry” *mtuwena “place for food” *mtusha “eating utensil” *mtudu “start to eat” *mtoiksa “bone-eater” from mmtu + o + iksa "bone" *imtu “re-eat, eat again” ===Noun Roots=== '''(''saba'' "house")''' *sabai “of a house” *sabachi “house-like” *sabanu “to be a house” *sabaru “there is a house” *sabayu “to make a house” *sabantu “to become a house” *sabaheyu “to give a house” *sabena “place for a house” *sabala “great house” *sabachwa “little house” *sabakwa “town” *sabakwi “which is the house” '''(''egoya'' "wood")''' *egoyadi “made of wood” ===Adjective roots=== '''(''kawi'' "big")''' *kawiya “big thing” *kawinu “to be big” *kawiyu “to make big” *kawintu “to become big” *kawika “bigness” *kawiksa “size” *kawiri “bigger” *kawimi “biggest” *kawishi “too big” ==Markers== *Topic: o *Agent (when normal word order is broken): i *Patient: ko *Instrument: chi ==Example Sentences== {| !

Polychordates also often have triplicated organ systems. Modern forms generally have a derived bilateral symmetry. The earliest polychordates were sessile animals looking something like three-armed starfish. The modern subphylum [[tribrachidia]] retains this ancestral pattern. Most extant polychordates are aquatic. There were, formerly, large [[trichordata|trichordate]] land animals, but nearly all of the terrestrial trichordates, as well as a considerable number of marine polychordates, died out in a mass extinction episode. Polychordates have regained dominance of the sea, but terrestrial groups never recovered. == Subphyla == Polychordata is traditionally divided into three subphyla. There is debate over whether these subphyla are monopyletic. Tribrachidia is likely paraphyletic to the other two, while trichordata may be polyphyletic. As there is no consensus as to the correct division, the traditional subphyla remain in use. *[[Tribrachidia]] *[[Trichordata]] *[[Bichordata]] (sometimes called eubichordata) An alternate classification is *[[Bichordata|Eubichordata]] *[[Triangulata]] (part of trichordata in the conventional taxonomy) *[[Tribrachidia]] *[[Tripartia]] (part of trichordata in the conventional taxonomy) [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] Template:Prettytable 5348 20720 2007-03-29T04:47:39Z Christina 18 New page: {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 90%;" {|border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 90%;" Template:OpTaxo 5349 33565 2008-06-29T23:12:57Z Christina 18 [[Template:Opentry]] moved to [[Template:OpTaxo]] |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"|{{{1}}} ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"|[[{{{2}}}]] Template:Taxoboxstart 5350 33432 2008-06-27T01:30:01Z Christina 18 {|style="background:#f9f9f9; float: right; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width:30%; font-size:95%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 |- style="text-align: center;" !colspan=2 style="background: #dfdfdf; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; font-size: 110%;"| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' Thermovaria 5352 45457 2009-05-17T02:07:36Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Galhafanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Paleoeukaryota}} {{ObTaxo|Kingdom|Paleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Subkingdom|Cispaleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Superphylum|Dorsopulmonia}} {{OpTaxo|(Unranked)|Asegmata}} {{ObTaxo|Phylum|Endosteia}} {{OpTaxo|Subphylum|Hexapoda}} {{OpTaxo|Superclass|Prototerrestria}} {{ObTaxo|Class|Thermovaria}} |} '''Thermovaria''' (''Nrúnrá tá yakrena'' "Warm[-blooded creatures] with larvae") is a class of [[Endosteia]]ns.

The main phase of their life cycle is diploid. The haploid phase is reduced to a small sporophyte, consisting of a single ovum and several support cells, which, after fertilization, provide nutrients. The male, in turn, also produces a large sporophyte, consisting, likewise, of a single sperm and a number of support cells, some of which detect hormones released by the ova and direct the sperm to the ova, while most simply provide nutrients for the developing young post-fertilization.

These do not have a syllable break between them, like the others have. Besides the {{IPA|[lː]}}, {{IPA|[nː]}} and {{IPA|[tt]}}, the forms {{IPA|[l.l]}}, {{IPA|[n.n]}} and {{IPA|[t.t]}} also exist. == Orthography == === Alphabet and pronunciation === <p style="text-align: center;">'''A&nbsp;a, B&nbsp;b, C&nbsp;c, D&nbsp;d, E&nbsp;e, F&nbsp;f, G&nbsp;g, H&nbsp;h, I&nbsp;i, J&nbsp;j, K&nbsp;k, L&nbsp;l, M&nbsp;m, N&nbsp;n, O&nbsp;o, P&nbsp;p, Q&nbsp;q, R&nbsp;r, S&nbsp;s, T&nbsp;t, U&nbsp;u, V&nbsp;v, W&nbsp;w, X&nbsp;x, Y&nbsp;y, Z&nbsp;z, <span style="color:DarkMagenta">Ä&nbsp;ä</span>/<span style="color:Green">Æ&nbsp;æ</span>, <span style="color:DarkMagenta">Ö&nbsp;ö</span>/<span style="color:Green">Ø&nbsp;ø</span>, [[Image:SJ_fat_normal.png]]&nbsp;[[Image:_sj_fat_normal.png]], [[Image:TJ_fat_normal.png]]&nbsp;[[Image:tj_fat_normal.png]]'''</p> {| class="aligntop" style="width:80%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; vertical-align: top;" ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Letter ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Pronunciation | |- !

The Qwadralónia dialects use Ää and Öö, while the Quadralónia dialects instead use Ææ and Øø. Half-long vowels are indicated by an acute accent (´) over the vowel in both dialects. Long vowel are marked by macron (¯) in Qwadralónia, and by doubling the vowel in Quadralónia. Qwynegold also uses several digraphs as can be seen in this table (capital V stands for any vowel): {| border=1 ! Digraph !align=center| Pronounciation |- | ch | tʃ |- | dz | dʒ |- | ng | ŋ |- | quV | kwV |- | sh | ʃ |- | xh | kʃ |} ===Tense and lax phonemes=== {| border=1 ! Lax !align=center| Tense !

(Note however that Qwynegold does not have vowel harmony.) The lax phonemes are much more common than the tense ones. Both phonemes in a pair share the same letter, but whenever a tense phoneme appears in a word, it is indicated by a change of one of the other letters in the same syllable. {| border=1 ! Ordinary letter !align=center| 1<sup>st</sup> alternation ! 2<sup>nd</sup> alternation |- | ch | zh | tsh |- | i | y | |- | j | y | |- | k | q | c |- | quV | kwV | qw |- | s | c | |- | x | ks | |- | xh | ksh | |- | z | ts | |} If there are two tense phonemes in the same syllable, then two letters will alternate, if there are two letters that are capable of that. But if there is only one alternable letter, then it will turn into its 1° form. If there are three tense phonemes in one syllable, then a similar manner is used except with the 2° form. Some examples with random syllables: lak {{IPA|/lak/}} - laq {{IPA|/lʌk/}} sen {{IPA|/sen/}} - cen {{IPA|/se̟n/}} syik {{IPA|/syik/}} - cyik {{IPA|/sy̟ik/}} - syiq {{IPA|/syi̟k/}} - cyiq {{IPA|/sy̟i̟k/}} chjuz {{IPA|/tʃjuts/}} - chyuz {{IPA|/tʃju̟ts/}} or {{IPA|/tʃjuz/}} - zhyuz {{IPA|/tʃju̟z/}} - tshjuz {{IPA|/tʃju̟z/}} ====Silent <e> and <h>==== Besides altering one of the other letters, there is another way to mark that a tense phoneme is present. If tense phoneme is in the last syllable of the word, a silent <e> may be added at the end of the word. If a word ends with an <e> that is supposed to be pronounced, then a silent <h> is added at the end of the word. ====The letter <c>==== The letter <c> stands for {{IPA|/s/}} when followed directly or indirectly by <e>, <nowiki><i></nowiki>, <y>, <ä/æ> or <ö/ø> in the same syllable, or if it's syllable-final and preceded either directly or indirectly by any of the abovementioned vowels. In all other cases it stands for {{IPA|/k/}}. (The digraph <ch> however stands for{{IPA|/tʃ/}}.) == Grammars == === Nouns === There is two morphologically marked cases on nouns in Qwynegold: genitive and locative; as well as singular and plural number. In the following table, the locative case has been used together with the word ''tau'' (in) as an example. {| border=1 ! Type of noun declension !

An adverb preceeds nouns with the locative case, see [[Qwynegold#Location|Location]] for an explanation of how the locative case is used. === Pronouns and determiners=== Pronouns in Qwynegold do not distinguish animacy. ==== Personal pronouns ==== There is much suppletion in the personal pronouns of Qwynegold, so all the forms of the personal pronouns are presented in the following tables. The pronouns also have an accusative case which the nouns lack. {| border=1; style="background:Plum" |+ Personal pronouns in Qwadralónia !

'''GEN''' is the genitive prefix, in either singular or plural. ==== Relative pronouns ==== In Qwadralónia there is one relative pronoun, <span style="color:DarkMagenta">som</span>, which can stand for any person or thing. Quadralónia does not have any such pronoun; refer to [[Qwynegold#Syntax|Syntax]] to see how relative clauses are handled.<br> <br> The indefinite relative pronoun is <span style="color:DarkMagenta">e</span>/<span style="color:Green">æe</span>. === Verbs === Verbs in Qwynegold can end in -a, -i, -o, -ejn or -n. The suffixes behave regularly when attached to vowel final verbs, but the -n and -jn class of verbs are a little different. In the following table, three verbs are used as examples: etoli (run), <span style="color:DarkMagenta">döyshän</span>/<span style="color:Green">duyshæn</span> (*?) and trejn (train). {| border=1 !

When a mood needs to be used together with any other tense than present simple, the following scheme is used: '''VERB-MOOD VERB-TENSE'''. What this means is that the verb is reduplicated. {| | colspan="2" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''Fvangajou d'dvenra!''</span> |- ! align="left" | Fvanga-jou || align="left" | d'-dvendra |- | align="left" | catch-HORT-(PRES) || align="left" | PL-butterfly |- | colspan="3" | ''Let's catch butterflies!'' |} <br> {| | colspan="2" | <span style="color:Green">''Fvangajou d'dvendra!''</span> |- ! align="left" | Fvanga-jou || align="left" | d'-dvendra |- | align="left" | catch-HORT-(PRES) || align="left" | PL-butterfly |- | colspan="3" | ''Let's catch butterflies!'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''Fvangajou fvanga'hwá d'dvendra!*''</span> |- ! align="left" | Fvanga-jou || align="left" | fvanga-'hwá || align="left" | d'-dvendra |- | align="left" | catch-HORT || align="left" | catch-FUT || align="left" | PL-butterfly |- | colspan="3" | ''Let's catch butterflies!'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:Green">''Fvangajou fvangahuá d'dvendra!*''</span> |- ! align="left" | Fvanga-jou || align="left" | fvanga-huá || align="left" | d'-dvendra |- | align="left" | catch-HORT || align="left" | catch-FUT || align="left" | PL-butterfly |- | colspan="3" | ''Let's catch butterflies!'' |} <br> The interrogative mood can be used together with any other mood, but all other moods are mutually exclusive. When the interrogative is used with another mood and present simple tense, the verb must again be reduplicated, but this time in the form of '''VERB VERB-MOOD'''. The first verb is the interrogative, but the suffix from it is dropped. The simple tense is again unmarked. The verb is always moved to the end of the sentence when it has interrogative mood. {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''Uz d'dvendra fvangaí?''</span> |- ! align="left" | Uz || align="left" | d'-dvendra || align="left" | fvanga-í |- | align="left" | 2S || align="left" | PL-butterfly || align="left" | catch-INT-(PRES) |- | colspan="3" | ''Do you catch butterflies?'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:Green">''Uz d'dvendra fvangaí?''</span> |- ! align="left" | Uz || align="left" | d'-dvendra || align="left" | fvanga-í |- | align="left" | 2S || align="left" | PL-butterfly || align="left" | catch-INT-(PRES) |- | colspan="3" | ''Do you catch butterflies?'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''d'Dvendra fvanga fvangajou?''</span> |- ! align="left" | d'-Dvendra || align="left" | fvanga || align="left" | fvanga-jou |- | align="left" | PL-butterfly || align="left" | catch-(INT)-(PRES) || align="left" | catch-HORT |- | colspan="3" | ''Shall we catch butterflies?'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:Green">''d'Dvendra fvanga fvangajou?''</span> |- ! align="left" | d'-Dvendra || align="left" | fvanga || align="left" | fvanga-jou |- | align="left" | PL-butterfly || align="left" | catch-(INT)-(PRES) || align="left" | catch-HORT |- | colspan="3" | ''Shall we catch butterflies?'' |} <br> If a verb is used together with the interrogative, another mood, and a tense that is not present simple, then the usual '''VERB-MOOD VERB-TENSE''' format is used, without marking the interrogative. Because the verb is moved to the end of the sentence, it is clear that the sentence is a question. {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''d'Dvendra fvangajou fvanga'hwá?*''</span> |- ! align="left" | d'-Dvendra || align="left" | fvanga-jou || align="left" | fvanga-'hwá |- | align="left" | PL-butterfly || align="left" | catch-HORT || align="left" | catch-FUT |- | colspan="3" | ''Shall we catch butterflies?'' |} {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:Green">''d'Dvendra fvangajou fvangahuá?*''</span> |- ! align="left" | d'-Dvendra || align="left" | fvanga-jou || align="left" | fvanga-huá |- | align="left" | PL-butterfly || align="left" | catch-HORT || align="left" | catch-FUT |- | colspan="3" | ''Shall we catch butterflies?'' |} <br> The conditional mood, which is used to mark what the consequence of some action would be, only exists in Quadralónia. In Qwadralónia, an explanation clause just follows an if-clause without any marking. {| | colspan="6" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''Uz fvanget leprekān, huo heo'hwá gould''</span> |- ! align="left" | Uz || align="left" | fvang-et || align="left" | leprekān || align="left" | huo || align="left" | heo-'hwá || align="left" | gould |- | align="left" | 2S || align="left" | catch-HYP-(PRES) || align="left" | leprechaun || align="left" | 3S || align="left" | give-FUT || align="left" | gold |- | colspan="6" | ''If you catch a leprechaun, he will give you gold.'' |} <br> {| | colspan="7" | <span style="color:Green">''Uz fvanget leprekaan, huo hewas heohuá gould''</span> |- ! align="left" | Uz || align="left" | fvang-et || align="left" | leprekaan || align="left" | huo || align="left" | heo-was || align="left" | heo-huá || align="left" | gould |- | align="left" | 2S || align="left" | catch-HYP-(PRES) || align="left" | leprechaun || align="left" | 3S || align="left" | give-COND || align="left" | give-FUT || align="left" | gold |- | colspan="7" | ''If you catch a leprechaun, he will give you gold.'' |} ==== Verbal morphophonology in Qwadralónia==== *The hortatory suffix is -jou if the verb ends with -a and -£ou if the verb ends with a polyphthong which does not end with -a. With verbs ending with -ejn, this becomes -enjou. In all other cases the suffix is -ou. *When the interrogative suffix is added to a verb ending with -a or -o, the end of the verb is pronounced with ingressive airflow (both the -a or -o forms a diphthong with the -í, and the whole diphthong is ingressive). If the verb ends with -i, the end of the verb is pronounced [ɪ·ɪˑ↓] (only the final [ɪˑ] is ingressive. *When the hypothetical suffix is added to a verb, the final vowel of that verb is deleted, unless it is -i. ==== Verbal morphophonology in Quadralónia ==== *The hortatory suffix is -jou if the verb ends with -a and -£ou if the verb ends with a polyphthong which does not end with -a.

Ze is used for describing what something is, while ejn is used for describing where something is. Ze is however dropped when between a noun and an adjective, if in present simple tense and without any mood. Ze is an irregular verb (see table below) while ejn is conjugated the same way as a regular -ejn verb. {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''d'Xubu ze d'ambtelei.''</span> |- ! align="left" | d'-Xubu || align="left" | ze || align="left" | d'-ambtelei |- | align="left" | PL-tooth || align="left" | is || align="left" | PL-bone |- | colspan="3" | ''Teeth are bones.'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:Green">''d'Xubu ze d'ambtelei.''</span> |- ! align="left" | d'-Xubu || align="left" | ze || align="left" | d'-ambtelei |- | align="left" | PL-tooth || align="left" | is || align="left" | PL-bone |- | colspan="3" | ''Teeth are bones.'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''Th lūna jiew.''</span> |- ! align="left" | Th || align="left" | lūna || align="left" | jiew |- | align="left" | the || align="left" | moon || align="left" | light |- | colspan="3" | ''The moon has a light color.'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:Green">''La lúna jiew.''</span> |- ! align="left" | La || align="left" | lúna || align="left" | jiew |- | align="left" | the || align="left" | moon || align="left" | light |- | colspan="3" | ''The moon has a light color.'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:DarkMagenta">''Arktis ejn nort.''</span> |- ! align="left" | Arktis || align="left" | ejn || align="left" | nort |- | align="left" | Arctica || align="left" | is || align="left" | north |- | colspan="3" | ''The Arctica is in the north.'' |} <br> {| | colspan="3" | <span style="color:Green">''Arktis ejn nordt.''</span> |- ! align="left" | Arktis || align="left" | ejn || align="left" | nordt |- | align="left" | Arctica || align="left" | is || align="left" | north |- | colspan="3" | ''The Arctica is in the north.'' |} <br> {| border=1 |+ Suppletive forms of ze !

The -i suffix is lexically determined to be used with certain words, while -(i)vas or -(d)es is the productive suffix. The meaning of a numeral turned into an adjective is highly context-dependent. It could be used to descibe a person with a certain age, a thing related to a certain decade or century, a thing having a certain number of parts or certain measures. ==== Derivational morphophonology in Qwadralónia ==== When the adjectival -(i)vas suffix is used, the -i- is only included if the word the suffix is attached to ends with a consonant. When forming the present active participle, the -vas suffix is only used on verbs that end with -i. When turning adverbs into adjectives, the -a suffix is used when the adverb ends with -aV or a single vowel which is not a. The -wa suffix is used when the adverb ends with -a or -VV. When turning a numeral into an adjective, and the numeral ends with a vowel, that last vowel is deleted, unless it is a halflong vowel. The process of turning numerals into verbs is quite irregular, so here is a complete list of verbified numerals:<br> 0 - nulla<br> 1 - monoa<br> 2 - twáa<br> 3 - tría<br> 4 - quada<br> 5 - penta<br> 6 - sixta<br> 7 - septa<br> 8 - okta<br> 9 - novena<br> 10 - tina<br> 100 - handra<br> 1 000 - tanhra<br> 1 000 000 - miljōna<br> 1 000 000 000 - miljārda<br> 1 000 000 000 000 - biljōna<br> 1 000 000 000 000 000 -triljōna ==== Derivational morphophonology in Quadralónia ==== When the adjectival -(d)es suffix is used, the -d- is only included if the word the suffix is attached to ends with a vowel. If the word that the past passive participle is attached to ends with a consonant, the suffix -eet is used. When forming the present active participle, the -des suffix is only used on verbs that end with -i. When turning adverbs into adjectives, the -a suffix is used when the adverb ends with -aV or a single vowel which is not a. The -wa suffix is used when the adverb ends with -a or -VV. When turning a numeral into an adjective, and the numeral ends with a vowel, that last vowel is deleted, unless it is a halflong vowel. When turning a noun into a verb, the -l suffix is used if the noun ends with a polyphthong, in all other cases the -sa suffix is used. The process of turning numerals into verbs is quite irregular, so here is a complete list of verbified numerals (the compound final form numerals are shown at the end of the list (see [[Qwynegold#Numerals|Numerals]])):<br> 0 - nulla<br> 1 - monoa<br> 2 - dúa<br> 3 - tría<br> 4 - qua'dra<br> 5 - pentaga<br> 6 - hexa<br> 7 - septa<br> 8 - okta<br> 9 - novema<br> 10 - tezae<br> 100 - centa<br> 1 000 - milla<br> 1 000 000 - miljona<br> 1 000 000 000 - miljaarda<br> 1 000 000 000 000 - biljona<br> 1 000 000 000 000 000 - triljona<br> X0 - nulla<br> X1 - monoa<br> X2 - dua<br> X3 - tría<br> X4 - qua'dra<br> X5 - pentaga<br> X6 - hexa<br> X7 - septa<br> X8 - okta<br> X9 - novema File:Qwynegold vowels.png 5391 47896 2009-08-02T00:19:36Z Qwynegold 1225 uploaded a new version of "[[File:Qwynegold vowels.png]]":&#32;Reverted to version as of 00:14, 2 August 2009 Vowel inventory of Qwynegold.

They are marked by a roughly triangular basic body plan, consisting of a raised middle-spine and two side-spines below, connected by ribs forming a roughly triangular body cavity. Extinct triangulates include the largest land animals to ever walk [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]. Surviving triangulates are generally rather small creatures, however. Ancestral stem-triangulatans had eleven pairs of jointed appendages, several of which became specialized for various functions. The earliest true triangulates had just seven pairs. Most triangulates are cold-blooded, but some classes have developed homeothermy. Several extinct classes developed pseudo-[[Wikipedia:amniote|amniotic eggs]], but extant triangulates must either lay their eggs in water or bear live young. == Classes == ''Possibly Incomplete'' *[[Deinoteratia]] (extinct) *[[Materthera]] *[[Megadraco]] (extinct) *[[Microdraco]] [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] File:SJ fat normal.png 5408 33751 2008-07-01T15:28:54Z Qwynegold 1225 uploaded a new version of "[[Image:SJ fat normal.png]]": Capital SJ-ligature in fat, normal size.

It is a sister language to [[Tsani]]. ==Internal History== The most notable features of Zãi include vowel mutations and nasalization of vowels accompanying loss of the ''-n'' coda found in the protolanguage. Unlike Tsani, Zãi retains the glottalization distinction and introduces phonemic aspirated stops, but does not distinguish between voiced and unvoiced stops. However, it does distinguish between voiced and unvoiced fricatives. It also has phonemic vowel length and pitch-accent. Fricatives undergo the following mutations: What would develop into [l] in Tsani becomes /r\/. What would develop into [4] becomes /4_0/. /ts/ becomes /z/. The vowels /i/ and /U/ cause mutation of the preceding vowel: '''I-mutation''' /a/ -> /aI/ /E/ -> /i/ /o/ -> /eI/ /U/ -> /y/ '''U-mutation''' /a/ -> /A/ /i/ -> /y/ It should be noted that /U/ before or after a labial consonant is realized as [u] and instead causes the following mutation: /a/ -> /o/ The ''-n'' coda to any syllable causes nasalization of the preceding vowel and is then lost. The following replacements also occur: /a.na/ -> /a~:/ /a.nE/ -> /a~jE/ /aI.ni/ -> /a~.i/ /a.no/ -> /a~o/ /A.nu/ -> /a~o/ /i.ni/ -> /i~:/ /eI.ni/ -> /i~:/ /y.ni/ -> /i~:/ A non-glottalized stop that is between two like vowels is aspirated. Initial /ki/ becomes /k_hi/ and initial /pu/ becomes /p_hu/. /a/ and /A/ are considered "alike", and /y/ is "alike" to both /U/ and /i/. However, /U/ and /i/ are not "alike" to each other. Palatalized stops also become aspirated. Other palatalized consonants decay into C + /i/. After this change, /iE/ becomes /E:/ and /iy/ becomes /y:/. The main drop in pitch occurs on the stressed syllable; i.e. there is high tone before the stressed syllable, and low tone on the stressed syllable and every syllable after. The two moras of a long vowel also contrast in pitch, the first being high, and the second being low. If a long vowel occurs immediately before a stressed syllable, the stress moves to the long vowel. The first and second moras always contrast in pitch. Examples: '''poni''' "good" #poni -> peini #peini -> pĩĩ. #pitch is high-low. '''kiyu''' "listen" #kiju -> kyju #pitch is high-low. '''chiru''' "look" #chiru -> chihru #chihru -> chyhru #chyhru -> tyyhru #pitch is high-low-low '''tlerun''' "not need" #tlerun -> lehrun #lehrun -> lehrũ #pitch is high-low '''sekyanuwani''' "was a friend" #sekyanuwani -> sekyonuwaini #sekyonuwaini -> sekyonuwãi #sekyonuwãi -> sekhionuwãi File:Savukk.png 5415 33787 2008-07-04T01:38:40Z Qang 1187 File:Big1color world.png 5416 33816 2008-07-05T12:20:54Z Jápese 1227 uploaded a new version of "[[Image:Big1color world.png]]" Savukk 5417 33817 2008-07-05T12:22:44Z Jápese 1227 <div style='float: right;'> {| style='background-color: #fefeff; border: 1px solid #ccccff; font-size: 90%; margin: .0em .2em; padding: .0em .2em; text-align: left; width: 250px;' |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;' | '''Savukk''' |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='font-size: 120%; text-align: center;' | |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='font-size: 120%; text-align: center;' | [[image:savukk.png|center|200px|The World of Savukk]] |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Type''' | style='text-align: left;' | [[Savukk]] Collaborative Conworld Project |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Genre''' | style='text-align: left;' | Earth-like [[wp:conworld|constructed world]] |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Tech level''' | style='text-align: left;' | Variable [[wp:Technology#Neolithic_through_Classical_Antiquity_.2810.2C000BCE_.E2.80.93_300CE.29|neolithic through Classical Antiquity]] |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Year began''' | style='text-align: left;' | {{{year|2007}}} |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Year ended''' | style='text-align: left;' | -- |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center;' | Planet Characteristics |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Surface area''' | style='text-align: left;' | 509 978 240 km² |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Satellites''' | style='text-align: left;' | 2 |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center;' | Nations |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Ambvaiira]] (?) |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Auxillayre]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Cámas]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Êġarol]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Mikáo]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Nokeo]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Raitolïa]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Skjeimitekann]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Tamega]] |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='text-align: center;' | [[Túþásá]] |- | colspan=2 style='border-top: 1px solid #ccccff; text-align: center' valign=top | [http://wiki.penguindeskjob.com/index.php?title=Savukk&action=edit edit] |}</div> '''Savukk''' is a collaborative conworld project maintained on the [http://scriptorium.17.forumer.com/ Scriptorium forum]. ====Nations==== There are currently eight established nations in Savukk, with only one nation having collapsed (Ambvaiira).

It occupies much of the Eastern half of the western continent. == General Information == Auxillayre is not a nation, so to speak, but rather a collection of tribes that have been united under one ruler, the Auxillyth. Before the Auxilairan came, several other tribes already conquered much of the land, unifying it to a certain extent. The major groups are the Ectavyn, the Termon, and the Dendronaea. Of these, the Ectavyn are the greatest. It is unknown when the Auxillairan conquered the tropical tribes, but it must of been very long ango, as no one seems to remember a time without them. Auxillayre is tropical and subtropical, and covered with lush forests. Many rivers flow through the land, bringing glacial water from the mountains down, and into the sea. It rains frequently. Nobody has ever seen the snow. There is however, a drier season, although the land still is very moist. Auxillayre is rather advanced and specializes in glass. They make exquisite pieces of art in honor of their gods. Glass, in combination with wood, is used to make giant temples as well. They Auxillairan also are masters of woodworking. Metal, on the other hand, is scarce, and rarely used. Porcelain is occasionally used. == Government == Auxillayre is a monarchy. The next ruler is determined by "how royal" they are. That is determined by counting the prospective heir'r relatives that are in the royal family. Typically, the eldest son inherits the throne, as long as his wife has many relatives. Although the power is passed father son, connections to the royal family are inherited maternally and through marriage. For example, a father has 10 relatives and marries a woman with 20. The man now has 30, as long as no relatives are repeats. If the father has a son, the son will have 10 relatives, but this only matters if he marries someone of royal descent. A daughter will inherit all the relatives. ==External Links== * [http://scriptorium.17.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=223 http://scriptorium.17.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=223] Mikáo 5421 33793 2008-07-04T01:43:25Z Qang 1187 New page: <div style='float: right;'> {| style='background-color: #fefeff;

It's to be found south-east on the [[Western Continent, Savukk|Western Continent]] between [[Nokeo]] and [[Ambvaiira]]. Its name has derived form the founder, Ciros. == History == The country is not old, as it was founded by several tribes. The uniting started in -334 and was fulfilled -308. Ciros died out of sickness in -307. This is because of all the trading villages understood that they had to unite to continue fair and righteous trading between the current capital and hundreds of towns and settlements along the coast. Ciros was the leader of the Veranapon (The river tribe) and was the one who started uniting all of the other tribes. This tribe lived where the capital now is. This is also the origin of the capital's name: Cirósos = City of Cir (abbreviation of Ciros). There has not been much revolts in the country except the series of revolts on Aséris Sehinis (Ealier: Nacoaósúmon; The Peninsula of the Sun), that happened in year -32. The people of the peninsula to the north-east had severe revolts lasting about a year, but the revolts kept getting worse and worse, and in the end hundreds were killed. The results were that the whole peninsula joined the Nation of Ambvaiira. The cause of these revolts was that Nacoaósúmon had an increasing amount of Ambvaiirian settlers, who wanted justice, as they were not treated as members of Cámas. Even today the tension between these to countries are high. Except in the main cities, tribal villages are highly regular throughout the whole country. Mostly at the coast to the north because of fishing, but to the south, they live inside the dense forests as well as along the coast. The inland tribes depend on the fur and meat trade with the coast tribes. Salt is obviously the main trade resource for the coast tribes, and is valued high inland. After the meat has come to the southern coast, they only take a very small amount themselves, and once again trades it along with the people of Nokeo, as the vast swampy areas barely contain any edible mammals. In return, special berries and fruits who just grow on certain trees in these swamps are given back in trade. These two nations stick together, and many tribal villages in Cámas rely on Nokeo trading to make a living. The capital of this trading is the city of Nocésihos not too far form Nokeo. The major chopping on the island Cáaósos was the result of the vast corruption. The forests are now on their way back to normal, even though chopping there is very strict regulated. == Religion == They are naturalists. The people of the villages are very affectionate to their nature. So much it evolved into religion. They believe nature around them reflects their personality and behaviour at all times, and they do therefore never chop more wood than necessary, for instance, and they make sure to not take too much at one spot. The same goes for animals: They do not take more fish than necessary. They believe that if the nature around their house is well shaped and beautiful when they die; they go to the eternal world. This world is said to be in the forests, and there are many "sagas" of where it is situated. == Cities == ''- Cirósos'' ~ 254.000 (Capital) ''- Citófos ''~ 189.000 ''- Macános'' ~ 143.000 ''- Sesoáeas ''~ 121.000 ''- Íiseos'' ~ 87.000 ''- Nocésihos'' ~ 48.000 ''- Veráfe'' ~ 15.000 == Languages == ''- [[Cálos]]'' 74% - Throughout all of Cámas ''- [[Nãwe]]'' 21% - South east, in Nocésihos and along the rest of the coast near Nokeo ''- [[Yasukir]]'' 3% - Mostly in the capital ''- Other'' 2% - Spread ==External Links== * [http://scriptorium.17.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=111 http://scriptorium.17.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=111] File:Map of Keo.png 5423 33795 2008-07-04T01:45:46Z Qang 1187 File:Keo.png 5424 33796 2008-07-04T01:45:59Z Qang 1187 Nokeo 5425 33797 2008-07-04T01:46:41Z Qang 1187 New page: <div style='float: right;'> {| style='background-color: #fefeff; border: 1px solid #ccccff; font-size: 90%; margin: .0em .2em; padding: .0em .2em; text-align: left; width: 250px;' |- valig... <div style='float: right;'> {| style='background-color: #fefeff; border: 1px solid #ccccff; font-size: 90%; margin: .0em .2em; padding: .0em .2em; text-align: left; width: 250px;' |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;' | '''Keo''' |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='font-size: 120%; text-align: center;' | |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='font-size: 120%; text-align: center;' | [[image:keo.png|center|200px|The flag of the Southeastern nation of Nokeo]] |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Alternative Names''' | style='text-align: left;' | Nokeo |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Author''' | style='text-align: left;' | {{{author|Hakaku}}} |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Type''' | style='text-align: left;' | [[Savukk]] Collaborative Conworld Project |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Year began''' | style='text-align: left;' | {{{year|2007}}} |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center;' | |- valign=top | style='text-align: left; width: 50%' | '''Demonym''' | style='text-align: left; width: 50%' | Ana (the) |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Capital''' | style='text-align: left;' | Nomea |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center;' | Demographics |- valign=top | style='text-align: left; width: 50%' | '''Population''' | style='text-align: left; width: 50%' | {{{pop|2 000 000}}} (with up to ~4 500 000 outside map borders) |- valign=top | style='text-align: left; width: 50%' | '''Density''' | style='text-align: left; width: 50%' | ~1.54/km² |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Official languages''' | style='text-align: left;' | [[Nãwe]] |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Number of speakers''' | style='text-align: left;' | 97% of the population |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Minority languages''' | style='text-align: left;' | Anaye |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Number of speakers''' | style='text-align: left;' | 4% of the population |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center;' | Government |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Type''' | style='text-align: left;' | Moderate Neo-Tribalism |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Political leader''' | style='text-align: left;' | Nowea |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center;' | Establishment |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Year''' | style='text-align: left;' | 200 before year zero |- valign=top | colspan=2 style='background-color: #ccccff; text-align: center;' | Area |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Total''' | style='text-align: left;' | 2 434 929 km² |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Land''' | style='text-align: left;' | 1 297 642 km² |- valign=top | style='text-align: left;' | '''Water''' | style='text-align: left;' | 1 137 287 km² |- | colspan=2 style='border-top: 1px solid #ccccff; text-align: center' valign=top | [http://wiki.penguindeskjob.com/index.php?title=Nokeo&action=edit edit] |}</div> '''Nokeo''' [nokeo] is a country situated in the Southeastern region of [[Savukk]]. While its official name is '''Keo''' [keo], literally meaning ''endless'' or ''sea'', it is more colloquially known as Nokeo, formed from the honorific ''no''- and ''keo'', though it has also been adapted by other nations as an official term. == General Information == The land of Keo is situated in the South-East of [[Savukk]], between [[Cámas]] and Elethke(''†''). It is one of the world's largest wetland lowlands, while further to the North, elevations create some forested areas. (see [[Nokeo#landscape|landscape]]). Occasionally, both heavy rainfalls and the tide of the bay, found in the center of Keo, may engulf surrounding lands causing floods. The lowlands' landscape consists of a complex water system, ranging from ponds, to swamps, to bogs, marshes, rivers, permafrost, muskegs, etc. As for the ground, it consists mainly of peat lands, and nutrient poor soil. During winter, most of the surface area will be covered in ice and snow, while in the summer it will have thawed and melted away. Due to this varying environment, heavy equipment and objects are at a disadvantage, which renders light and durable objects more effective. Comparatively, the people of Keo are much less advanced technology-wise than most civilizations around the globe. They are very ignorant to outsiders, only relying on trade in order to survive. Some may even consider their ways tribal or primitive, but this is the best way for anyone to survive and adapt in such a limited<!-- harsh --> environment. However, they not only survive on trade, but they are also very skilled in medicine due to the vast amount of types of plants that thrive in the swamps. The kena, a plant whose flower can be seen on the national flag, is one of the most abundantly growing plants around. After they are pollinated, they will start producing palm-sized fruits. The kena's fruit is renowned for its ability to heal various diseases and infections, which are themselves often caused by bacteria thriving in the wetlands. == Government == === Leader === The highest political figure of Keo is called the Nowea. He is a leader who generally plays the role of an ambassador, representing the people, and establishing simple common laws to be followed. However, as with tribes, the leader cannot leave his own land. Instead, he will appoint a particular person as a messenger in order to fulfill the Nowea's duties as an ambassador. === History === The origins of how Keo became a nation are still unclear. To the people who speak Nãwe, Keo has always been their land, literally meaning ''endless'' when describing water masses. It is assumed however, that roughly 200 years ago, a common agreement came about to form a single nation, since the uprisings in the North seemed a threat to the stability of their lands and trade. In order to establish claim to the land and unify the people of Keo, or the Ana, a form of government had to be formed. Since the only thing known to them is tribalism, that is, small communities or groups which usually rely on a single leader and their own set of rules, the government would be based on such a system. Thus, moderate neo-tribalism was developed. In essence, the first Nowea (''leader'') devised a way where people could live separate personal lives back within their own tribes or communal groups, while still attending work and an otherwise partly modernized life, or in times of need, protecting the nation and their leader. The government is generally supported by trade taxes, where a portion of trade revenues are collected from trade villages and transferred to the capital. The overall aspect of a governing system is still unknown or ignored by many of its inhabitants, especially since the formation of the government was followed by a time of peace in the North. Furthermore, internal conflicts are traditionally dealt by a trade between the two or more groups involved, and thus a government is often seen as unnecessary. == Economy == [[Image:Map of Keo.png|thumb|The map of Keo]] Up until 200 years before year zero, economy in Keo was strongly driven by fur and medicine trading, and wood cutting. However, since the foundation of the nation, the [[Nokeo#Leader|Nowea]] began to realise his vision of a greater trade on a world-wide perspective. Despite lacking better transportation, many common traders also endorsed this vision. However, international trade up to date has been all but easy, partly in cause by the Ana's reserved culture and reluctance to foreign goods. Regardless of that, future international trade and prosperity are expected to increase, as Keo's political stance remains limited on foreign affairs. === International Trade === As the people of Keo depend on a lifestyle consisting primarily of trade, Nokeo's international trade consists of two factors : Import and Export. Main exports generally constitute the trade of various meats (e.g. whale), fish, fur, wood, medicine, fruits, and fossil fuels. Imports may vary from region to region, but in general, Nokeo seeks various lightweight metals, breads, tools, and other intricacies. The most notable and reputed trades can be made in either of four trade villages, which are situated along the four corners of the land, and in the capital, Nomea. Foreign traders, as well as common traders, are often welcomed in these areas. == Environment == === Climate and Biome === Keo is primarily situated in the Southeastern lowlands, found in Savukk's Southern taiga biome. === Landscape === The Southeastern lowlands stretch along the coast of Keo and further inland. This landscape is characterized by vast tidal flats and inland beach ridge complexes that provide highly productive freshwater marshes, sedge meadows and swamps. Bogs and fens are a dominant landscape feature further inland. Further towards the North, is a more elevated terrain with warmer and drier temperatures, allowing boreal forests to thrive. Common threats to the latter include deforestation and occasional flooding. == Culture == ''To be expanded'' [[Category:Conworlds]] Raitolïa 5426 33798 2008-07-04T01:48:29Z Qang 1187 New page: <div style='float: right;'> {| style='background-color: #fefeff;

For both syllable types, V can be any vowel. For non-final syllables O can be any consonant except {{IPA|/p/}} or{{IPA|/ŋ/}}, and for final syllables any consonant except {{IPA|/ŋ/}}. The C and D have certain constraints. For non-final syllables, the coda can be any of the following consonants or clusters: {| border=1 | m |- | n | | nd | | | | | ns | n{{IPA|ʒ}} | nx | nh | nts | nd{{IPA|ʒ}} |- | p |- | b |- | t |- | d |- | k |- | g |- | s | st | | sk |- | {{IPA|ʃ}} |- | {{IPA|ʒ}} |- | x |- | h |- | {{IPA|tʃ}} |- | {{IPA|dʒ}} |- | {{IPA|ʋ}} | | {{IPA|ʋ}}d | | | | | {{IPA|ʋ}}s |- | j | jt | jd | jk | jm | jn | jr | js | | jx | | jts | jd{{IPA|ʒ}} | | jl |- | r | rt | rd | rk | rm | | | rs | | rx | | rts | rj |- | l | lt | ld | lk | lm | | | ls | l{{IPA|ʒ}} | lx | | lts | ld{{IPA|ʒ}} | lj |} For final syllables, the coda can be any of the following consonants or clusters: {| border=1 | m | mp | mt | | | | | | | | | | mts | mt{{IPA|ʃ}} |- | n | | nt | nd | | | | | ns | | n{{IPA|ʒ}} | | nts | | nd{{IPA|ʒ}} |- | | | | | {{IPA|ŋ}}k |- | b |- | t |- |d |- | g | | gt | gd | | | | | gs |- | s | sp | st | | sk |- | {{IPA|ʒ}} |- | x |- | h |- | {{IPA|tʃ}} |- | {{IPA|dʒ}} |- | {{IPA|ʋ}} | | {{IPA|ʋ}}t | {{IPA|ʋ}}d | | | | | {{IPA|ʋ}}s |- | j | | jt | jd | jk | jm | jn | jr | js | | | jx | jts | | jd{{IPA|ʒ}} | jl |- | r | | rt | rd | rk | rm | rts | rj | | | | rx |- | l | lp | lt | ld | lk | lm | | | ls | l{{IPA|ʃ}} | l{{IPA|ʒ}} | lx | lts | lt{{IPA|ʃ}} | ld{{IPA|ʒ}} | lj |} A list of phonemes that can actually appear next to each other in a word, regardless of whether they are in the same syllable or not is here (long consonants are counted here as sequences of two consonants): {| border=1 ! 1<sup>st</sup> phoneme ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. ! 2<sup>nd</sup> ph. |- ! p | p | | t | | | | | | | | s | | | | | | | | | j | l |- ! b | | | | d | | | | n | | | | | | x | | | | {{IPA|dʒ}} | | j |- ! t | | | t | | k | | m | | | r | | | | | h | ts | {{IPA|tʃ}} | | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j | l |- ! d | | b | | | | g | m | n | | r | s | {{IPA|ʃ}} | | x | h | | | | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j | l |- ! k | | | t | | k | | | | | | s | | | | | | | | | j | l |- ! g | | | | d | | | m | | | | s | | {{IPA|ʒ}} | x | | | | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j | l |- ! m | p | b | t | d | | | m | n | | r | s | {{IPA|ʃ}} | {{IPA|ʒ}} | x | h | ts | {{IPA|tʃ}} | {{IPA|dʒ}} | | j | l |- ! n | | | t | d | | | | n | | | s | {{IPA|ʃ}} | {{IPA|ʒ}} | x | h | ts | {{IPA|tʃ}} | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j |- ! {{IPA|ŋ}} | | | | | k | g | m | | {{IPA|ŋ}} | r | | | | | | | | | | | l |- ! r | p | b | t | d | k | g | m | | | r | s | {{IPA|ʃ}} | | x | h | ts | {{IPA|tʃ}} | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j |- ! s | p | b | t | d | k | g | m | n | | r | s | | | x | | | | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j | l |- ! {{IPA|ʃ}} | p | | t | | k | | m | | | | | | | | | | | | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j | l |- ! {{IPA|ʒ}} | | b | | d | | g |- ! x | | b | | d | | g | m | | | | | | | x | | | | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j | l |- ! h | p | b | t | d | k | g | m | n | | r | s | | | x | h | ts | {{IPA|tʃ}} | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j | l |- ! {{IPA|tʃ}} | p | | | | k | | m | | | | | {{IPA|ʃ}} | | | | | | | | j |- ! {{IPA|dʒ}} | | b | | | | g | | n | | | | | {{IPA|ʒ}} |- ! {{IPA|ʋ}} | | | | d | | g | | | | r | | | {{IPA|ʒ}} | x | | | | {{IPA|dʒ}} | | | l |- ! j | p | b | t | d | k | g | m | n | | r | s | {{IPA|ʃ}} | {{IPA|ʒ}} | x | h | ts | {{IPA|tʃ}} | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | | l |- ! l | p | b | t | d | k | g | m | n | | | s | {{IPA|ʃ}} | {{IPA|ʒ}} | x | h | ts | {{IPA|tʃ}} | {{IPA|dʒ}} | {{IPA|ʋ}} | j |l |} Other phonotactic rules are: *Whenever a word has a voiced stop, no unvoiced stops can follow after it in the whole word, unless it is the last phoneme in a coda cluster, and there is no voiced version of the cluster. *A syllable with a cluster or affricate in coda position can not have a long vowel, unless the onset is missing. *There are no diphtongs. ===Stress=== Songulda has primary stress on the first syllable. Words that are four syllables or longer also have secondary stress. The secondary stress is located on the penultimate syllable, with some exceptions regarding weight. If the ultimate or antepenultimate syllable is heavier than the penultimate, then the secondary stress will be located on that syllable instead. The secondary can not come directly after the primary stress though. If the penultimate syllable is light and of the surrounding two syllables one is heavy and the other super-heavy, then the secondary stress will go to the heaviest one. If both syllables have equal weigth, then the stress is added to the ultimate syllable if the word is only four syllables long, in other cases it is added to the antepenultimate. Open syllables are considered to be light. Syllables with a coda cluster, a long vowel, or the "first half" of a long consonant are considered to be super-heavy. All other syllables are heavy. == Writing == The romanized version of Songulda, which will be used from here on, is as follows: === Romanization and pronunciation === <p style="text-align: center;">'''A&nbsp;a, B&nbsp;b, C&nbsp;c, D&nbsp;d, E&nbsp;e, F&nbsp;f, G&nbsp;g, H&nbsp;h, I&nbsp;i, Ĭ&nbsp;ĭ, J&nbsp;j, K&nbsp;k, L&nbsp;l, M&nbsp;m, N&nbsp;n, O&nbsp;o, Ö&nbsp;ö, P&nbsp;p, R&nbsp;r, S&nbsp;s, T&nbsp;t, U&nbsp;u, Ü&nbsp;ü, V&nbsp;v, Y&nbsp;y'''</p> {| class="aligntop" style="width:80%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; vertical-align: top;" ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Letter ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Pronunciation | |- !

Similarily, the illative case can function as an allative case, and the elative as ablative. The lative case, when used without any locative case, is used for expressing that something is moving to the speaker. The lative may be used together with illative, elative and translative. When used with illative it means that something is moving closer towards something else. Together with elative it means that something is moving further away. With translative it means that something is becoming more like something else. The perlative case can have the same meaning as prolative case; that is, that something moves through, across, along or by the way of something. The abessive case has the meaning of "without <noun>". It can be also used for deriving a caritive adjective from a noun, like the English suffix -less. The desirative case is used for indicating that an object or an action is desirable, or something that should be done for one's own benefit. The order in which the cases and the plural number are affixed to the word stem is this (when several options are on the same line, it means that only one of them can be used in the same word): # Vocative # Ergative/Absolutive/Partitive # Comitative # Inessive/Illative/Elative/Perlative/Translative # Distributive/Lative # Instrumental # Benefactive # Abessive # Desirative # Plural # Genitive ==== Number ==== {| border=1 ! Number ! Affix ! Examples |- | Singular | No marking | *ardaa ''a heart'' *yadals ''a flower'' *uday ''a woman'' *upad ''a mouth'' *ündü ''an evening'' |- | Plural | -r (if word ends with vowel or y), -er (in other cases) | *ardaar ''hearts'' *yadalser ''flowers'' *udayr ''women'' *upader ''mouths'' *ündür ''evenings'' |} This plural suffix is used for nouns and adjectives without person. There are also suffixes which has number and person sort of fusioned (see below). ==== Fusioned person/number ==== {| border=1 ! Person/number ! Affix ! Examples |- | 1<sup>st</sup> person singular | -m (if word ends with vowel), -um/-üm (if word ends with consonant) | *ardaam ''my heart'' *yadalsum ''my flower'' *udayum ''my woman'' *upadum ''my mouth'' *ündüm ''my evening'' |- | 1<sup>st</sup> person plural | -o/-ö (if word ends with s), -zo (if word ends with d (making the affricate <dz>), -so/-sö (in other cases) | *ardaaso ''our heart'' *yadalso ''our flower'' *udayso ''our woman'' *upadzo ''our mouth'' *ündüsö ''our evening'' |- | 2<sup>nd</sup> person singular | -t (if word ends with l, s, d, y or vowel; long vowels in last syllable are shortened, last d is deleted; if the word ends with ls, the order is reversed to lts (see ''yadalts'' below)), -tĭ (if word ends with t) | *ardad ''your heart'' *yadalts ''your flower'' *udayd ''your woman'' *upat ''your mouth'' *ündüt ''your evening'' |- | 2<sup>nd</sup> person plural | -to/-tö (final d is deleted) | *ardaado ''your heart'' *yadalsto ''your flower'' *udayto ''your woman'' *upato ''your mouth'' *ündütö ''your evening'' |- | 3<sup>rd</sup> person singular | -ta (if word ends with back vowel), -t (if word ends with üü), -üt (if word ends with ü or üs), -üsüt (if word ends with üüs; the üüs is deleted), -ülüt (if word ends with ült; the ült is deleted), -ata (in other cases) | *ardaada ''his/her heart'' *yadalsada ''his/her flower'' *udayada ''his/her woman'' *upadada ''his/her mouth'' *ündüüt ''his/her evening'' |- | 3<sup>rd</sup> person plural | -to (if word ends with back vowel), -tö (if word has ü in it), -ato (in other cases) | *ardaado ''their heart'' *yadalsado ''their flower'' *udayado ''their woman'' *upadado ''their mouth'' *ündütö ''their evening'' |} The above suffixes are used for marking to whom something belongs to. They are not used to get with the -r suffix which is only used for simple plural without person. === Verbs === Stems of most verbs in Songulda end with either -ü, -ba, -da, -ga or -khu, though there are some irregular ones. Verbs agree with the subject of the sentence in [[Songulda language#Number|number]], [[Songulda language#Fusioned person/number|person]] and [[Songulda language#Cases|case]]. The fusioned person/number is obligatory for all verbs except for those that have any of the following forms: passive voice, imperative mood, subjunctive mood. Together with the inifinitive it is never used. In some forms, person/number can be dropped, which makes the verb impersonal. This is especially common with the passive voice, producing [[Wikipedia:Impersonal passive voice|impersonal passive voice]]. The order according to which the affixes are tacked on to the verb is this: #(Conditional mood) #(Causative voice) #stem #(Past tense) #(Stative tense) #(Perfect aspect) #(Continuous aspect) #(Imperative mood) #(Defective mood) #(Intentional mood) #Person/number #(Passive voice) #(Subjunctive mood) #(Generic mood) #(Infinitive) #(Conditional mood) #(Cases - see [[Songulda language#Cases|Cases]] for the order of the cases) #(Reportative mood) Songulda does not distinguish transitive and intransitive verbs. If there is one word in the sentence with ergative case and one with absolutive, then the verb is transitive. In other cases it is intransitive. ====Voice==== {| border=1 ! Voice ! Affix ! Examples |- | Active | No marking | *ikhebüm ''I split'' *tahaabam ''I fall'' *tadam ''I sit'' *kataygam ''I freeze'' *karaashakhum ''I burn'' |- | Passive | -nu/-nü (if word ends with consonant), -nnu/-nnü (if word ends with vowel) | *ikhebünnü ''become split'' *tahaabannu ''be dropped'' *kataygannu ''become frozen'' *karaashakhu ''become burned'' |- | Causative | ban-/bĭn- | *bĭn-ikhebüm ''I make s.o. split s.t.'' *bantahaabam ''I make s.o. fall'' *bantadam ''I make s.o. sit'' *bangkataygam ''I make s.t. freeze'' *bangkaraashakhum ''I make s.o. burn s.t.'' |- | Stative | -ga (if the word ends with khu), -iga (if the word ends with a, l or khuld; the previous a is deleted), -yü (if the word ends with ü or ült) | *ikhebüyüm ''I am split'' *tahaabigam ''I am fallen'' *tadigam ''I am seated'' *kataygigam ''I am frozen'' *karaashakhugam ''I am burned'' |} The stative voice is used to indicate a change of state. The word for ''marry'' for example, would mean that someone is married if used with this voice. Without the stative, the word would mean that someone is at the wedding ceremony right now. The stative differs from the continuous aspect in that the continuous aspect has the meaning that someone is actively doing something for the action to go on, while the stative means that a certain state is true, without anyone actively doing anything right now to keep it that way. For example, "to be asleep" is something that would be expressed with stative voice. To be asleep is a state of being, that once it has been entered does not require any further action from the sleeper to be maintained. ====Tense==== {| border=1 ! Tense ! Affix ! Examples |- | Past | -lt (if word ends with ü), -l (if word ends with a), -ld (if word ends with u) | *ikhebüldüm ''I split'' *tahaabalum ''I fell'' *tadalum ''I sat'' *kataygalum ''I froze'' *karaashakhuldum ''I burned'' |- | Present | No marking | *ikhebüm ''I split'' *tahaabam ''I fall'' *tadam ''I sit'' *kataygam ''I freeze'' *karaashakhum ''I burn'' |} Songulda has no future tense, instead the present tense is used. It is understood from context which tense is actually meant. For example, if someone says "I go to the store", but doesn't move at all from the spot, it is understood to have been meaning "in the future". Using words like "then", "later" and "after" in a sentence also indicate that something will take place in the future. ====Aspect==== {| border=1 ! Aspect ! Affix !

If used with 1<sup>st</sup> person plural, it produces the volitional mood (let's do X). The imperative form can also be used without person/number when talking to a non-living object, for example, out of frustration one can shout "get open already!" to a jar that is hard to open. The defective mood is always used with the present tense form of the verb, even though it actually carries the meaning of past tense. ===Adjectives=== Stems of all adjectives end with either -a, -gd, -nt, -rk, -ro, -s or -yC (C stands for any consonant). {| border=1 !

The marker of the beginning of the '''Middle English''' era is [[The Battle of Hastings]] and the marker of the end of it is the [[Great Vowel Shift]]. {{Language| | English = Middle English | native = Englich/English/Inglish | dialect english = | country = Great Britian, Ireland, United States. | nativecountry = England | universe = Real world | speakers = varied over time | family = [[Indo-European]] | branch = [[Germanic]] | subbranch = [[West Germanic]] <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anglo-Frisian <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anglic | wordorder = SVO, | type = Isolating (mostly) | alignment = nominative-accusative | author = unknown | date = Battle Of Hastings (1066) - Great Vowel Shift | background = white | headingbg = coral | width = 33% }} =Stages= English has had 4 primary stages: * '''[[Anglo-Saxon]]''' also known as '''Old English''' * '''Middle English''' * '''[[Early Modern English]]''' * '''[[Modern English]]''' The separation of '''Anglo-Saxon''' from '''Middle English''' is marked by [[The Battle of Hastings]] in 1066. Although that is the official marker, the language took many years to become [[Creole|creolised]]. For more of whether English is a creole, see [[Middle English as a Creole]]. It was likely the 12th century or so before the two languages fully mixed and became Middle English. Before then, it was probably Anglo-Saxon spoken by the common folk and Norman French spoken by the Nobles and higher ups. Mostly likely there was a creole between the two in the stages before it was creolised, sometimes called Anglo-Norman. The separation of '''Middle English''' and the '''Modern English''' stages is the [[Great Vowel Shift]]. Modern English words have many different origins, but a majority come from [[Anglo-Saxon]], [[Old French|Old Norman French]], and a little [[Old Norse]]. However in the global world today, many words from many other languages have entered the English language. Middle English also has different stages, with earlier texts such as [[Brut]], which has a heavy Anglo-Saxon vocabulary, to [[Geoffrey Chaucer]], who helped to standardise English (do to the early printers such as [[William Caxton]]). =Dialects= For more, try [[Middle English Dialects]]. [[Image:Middle English-dialects.GIF|thumb|right|Middle English Dialects]] There are five major dialects of Middle English. Those are: <br> [[West Midlands]] <br> [[East Midlands]] <br> [[Northern Middle English]] <br> [[Southern Middle English]] <br> [[Kentish Middle English]] <br> Often the West Midlands and East Midlands dialects are put together and are called Midlands. The Northern dialect is often called [[Northumbrian]] dialect. <br> The most famous Middle English writer, [[Geoffrey Chaucer]] wrote in the London dialect, which was a part of the Midlands dialect. The Northern Dialect has a heavy influence from [[Old Norse]]. The two primary texts in which dialect appears are '''The Reeve's Tale''' and '''The Second Shepard's Play'''. In the Reeve's Tale, by [[Geoffrey Chaucer]], two Northern students have a run-in with a Midlands Miller. Chaucer uses the dialect for humourous effect. In the Second Shepard's Play which is written in the Northern dialect, a messenger tries to trick the shepards by using a Midlands or Southern accent, to no avail. =Phonology= It should be noted that the pronunciation does differ by dialect. ==Consonants== {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod.||colspan=2| Inter-dental||colspan=2| Alveolar||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || n̯ || {{IPA|n}} || || || || || || (ŋ) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || θ || ð || s || z || ʃ || ʒ || || ç || x || || h |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || || || ʦ || ʣ || {{IPA|ʧ}} || ʤ || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants & glides || ʍ || w || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Flap || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɾ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || ɬ || l |} </div> Notes: * '''Đ,ð''' and '''Þ,þ''' were still commonly used for /ð/ or /θ/, although '''th''' was beginning to be used. * '''Ʒ,ʒ''' were used to represent '''gh''' in Older texts, later it was replaced with '''gh'''. It also was used for the sound /j/ which '''g''' had sometimes been. * Occasionally '''Æ, æ''' is seen for /æ/. * The Middle English '''r''' was likely trilled or flapped. * The sound /ʧ/ was represented by '''tch''', '''cch''', and in some cases '''ch'''. * The diagraph '''gh''' represented /ç/ when next to front vowels (i, e), and /x/ when next to back vowels (a, o, u). In older texts such as [[Brut]] this might be represented by '''h''' such as is seen in [[Anglo-Saxon]] texts. * The diagraphs '''hw''' (or '''wh''' or rarely '''qu'''), '''hl''', and '''hn''' (the latter two are rare, but exist) are pronounced /ʍ/, /ɬ/ and /n̯/ respectively. * All letters are pronounced, and the combinations '''kn''' an '''gn''' were thusly pronounced /kn/ and /gn/ respectively. * '''ci''' and '''ce''' are often pronounced was a /s/ sound. * '''gi''' and '''ge''', as well as '''j''', were often pronounced /ʒ/ although sometimes it was /ʤ/. * In most cases, the fricatives /s/, /f/, and /θ/ become voiced in the case of being between vowels or intervocalic (much like those in Anglo-Saxon). This means they become /z/, /v/, and /ð/ respectively. An example that was carried to [[Modern English]] might be irregular nouns such as '''wife''' vs. '''wives'''. ==Vowels== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- | ||colspan="2"|Front || Central || Back |- | || Unround || Rounded || Unrounded || Rounded |- | High || iː - ɪ || yː - ʏ || || uː - ʊ |- | Mid || eː - ɛ || || ə/ʌ || oː - ɔ |- | Low || æ || || aː/a |- | colspan="7"| All entries are: Tense - Lax |} </div> Because the vowels are Pre-[[Great Vowel Shift]], one should pronounce the vowels similar to Latin or German. *'''i''' and '''y''' were pronounced /iː/ or /ɪ/. *'''e''' or '''ee''' were pronounced /eː/ or /ɛ/. *'''a''' in later periods was likely /æ/, but '''aa''' or '''a''' were also likely /aː/ or /a/. *'''u''' in French loan words and a few words passed down from [[Anglo-Saxon]] could be pronounced /yː/ or /ʏ/. *'''o''' or '''oo''' were likely pronounced /oː/ or /ɔ/. *'''ou''' was pronounced /uː/ or /ʊ/ in many cases. In some cases it was pronounced /ow/. *'''e''' at the end of a word was pronounced /ə/. Various other vowels could have been /ʌ/ if the conditions were right. *'''au''' or '''aw''' could have been pronounced /aw/, /o/ or /ɔ/ depending on origin. *'''ai''' or '''ay''' could have been pronounced /aj/ or /ej/ depending on origin and region. *'''oi''' or '''oy''' were almost always /oj/. ===Vowel Reduction=== Middle English, like [[Middle High German]] went through a series of vowel reductions. This would involve the vowels of non-stressed syllables. Those vowels would often become schwas /ə/. This is how different forms of verbs slowly became one standard verb form, from various possible endings in [[Old English]]. This also contributed to the loss of the case system. First a case ending would become a schwa, and then it could be dropped altogether. ==Orthography== Like most pre-standardised languages, Middle English did not have a consistent spelling system. In fact, the most famous of the Middle English writers, [[Geoffrey Chaucer]] is known to have spelt words many different ways, sometimes within a few lines of each other. Other reasons for different orthographies might have to do with the training of the scribe. A scribe with more French and Latin training would write the English diagraph '''wh''' or '''hw''' as '''qu'''. Other reasons for different spellings might have to do with the scribe's copying from an original work. If the original work had smudges, or was hard to read, then the wrong letter might have been written. Other cases the scribe changed lines to fit the purpose it served to him (most scribes were male). A religious scribe might change one of the haughtier stories from '''[[The Canterbury Tales]]''' to say something more to his liking. =Grammar= ==Nouns== Middle English nouns had long lost the noun genders that had been dying in the [[Anglo-Saxon]] era. There were were a few endings which did imply feminine and masculine, such as the feminine ending '''-esse''', which is where we get the ending '''-ess''' in [[Modern English]]. ===Number=== There are two numbers in Middle English, since the [[Dual]] number from Old English was dropped. This leads the two numbers, [[Singular]] and [[Plural]] which are still in Modern English. The common ending for the plural was written '''-es'''. Quite a few irregular nouns still existed and have various endings. ===Cases=== The case system was pretty much settled into the forms that exist in English today. There were two forms, the general form, and the genitive. ==Articles== In Middle English there are two standard types of articles: [[Definite Article]]s and [[Indefinite Article]]s. By the Middle English era, the Modern standard articles were pretty stable as '''the''' and '''a'''/'''an'''. The indefinite article may have been used more often as '''an''', especially in the early centuries of Middle English, because it reflects the original spelling and the words shared roots with the number '''one'''. Other spellings of it could include '''on, ane, anne, en, enne,''' and '''ene'''. The definite article had other forms including '''de, þeo, te, þea, þie,''' and the contracted form '''th''''. ==Personal Pronouns== The pronouns of Middle English were relatively similar to the ones in the following era of [[Early Modern English]]. They had shifted a little bit from Anglo-Saxon, but they still had some traits from the previous age. The noted use of the second person plural '''thu''', also spelt '''thou''', '''thow''', or '''þu''', was preserved from earlier forms of English, but likely shifted its usage to be [[Informal|informal]]. It should also be noted how possessive pronouns more commonly used the predicate form as the adjective form. In essence, the original form was likely similar to '''a''' vs. '''an''' for forms such as '''thy''' vs. '''thyn''' and '''my''' vs. '''myn'''. (Remember the '''y''' is pronounced /i/, not like modern English /aj/) {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! colspan="1" align="center"|Case ! colspan="2" align="center"|First Person ! colspan="2" align="center"|Second Person ! colspan="4" align="center"|Third Person |- | || Sing. || Plur. || Sing. || Plur. || Sing.

The infinitive in Middle English is usually a '''-en''' and/or '''-e'''. This ending is still used in Dutch and German today. ===Present=== The present tense was used slightly differently than it is in [[Modern English]]. It is used much more like Modern [[Spanish]] or [[High German]]. The present progressive was being using, but it was more common to see the present tense used for things going on at moment. The present participle has the ending '''-ynge''', which evolves into '''-ing''' in the Modern form. <br> The endings in the present are more numerous than they are in the Modern form. They are as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''Loven''' to love || colspan="2" align="center"| '''Killen''' to kill |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || love || loven || kille || killen |- | '''2nd person''' || lovest || loven || killest || killen |- | '''3rd person''' || loveth || loven|| killeth || killen |} ===Future=== The future tense is formed much the way the future tense is formed in [[Modern English]]. The only difference is that '''shall''' (used as forms schullen, shallen, etc) and '''will''' (forms as willen, wellen, etc) had a difference in meaning. This difference is that '''will''' indicated desire or wish (much like [[High German]] '''Wollen'''), so saying '''I will go there''' was similar to '''I want to go there''', and '''shall''' was involved indifference of the will, so saying '''I shall go''' is similar to '''I'm gonna go''' without desire to do so. The verb '''to go''' was not used to form the future tense, but the verb '''to be''' with an infinitive construction could have been. ===Past=== ====Preterite Past==== The simple past was formed in Middle English by adding '''-ed-''' between the stem and the ending of the verb. In many irregular verbs, as in [[Modern English]], the vowel changes instead of an ending being attached. {|class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Past tense''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || lovede || loveden|| killede|| killeden |- | '''2nd person''' || lovedest || loveden || killedest || killeden |- | '''3rd person''' || lovedeth || loveden || killede || killeden |} ====Perfect Tense==== The perfect tense is formed in a way very similar to the modern form. The verb '''to have(n)''' is used with the past form of the verb, which in regular verbs has the suffix '''-ed''', or a vowel stem change (and/or another type of ending). Both irregular and regular verbs have the potential to have the prefix '''y-''' added to them in the Perfect tense, which came from the [[Anglo-Saxon]] prefix '''ge-'''. The regular verbs are as follows: {|class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Past tense''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || have yloved || haven yloved|| have ykilled|| haven ykilled |- | '''2nd person''' || hast yloved || haven yloved || hast ykilled || haven ykilled |- | '''3rd person''' || hath yloved || have yloved || hath ykilled || haven ykilled |} ===Modals and Auxiliaries=== Unlike Modern English, Middle English Modals actually had infinitive forms. List of Modals: <br> *willen - will, to want, *schulen - should, shall, ought, *moten - can, should, must *magen - to be able, *witen - to know *cunnen - can, to able able, *thurfen- need, <br> The key auxiliaries were '''haven''' (or '''hauen''') and '''ben''' (or '''bien'''). {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| ben '''to be''' || colspan="2" align="center"| haven '''to have''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || am (em)₊ || are(n) || have || han (haven) |- | '''2nd person''' || art (ert) || are(n)|| hast (havest) || han (haven) |- | '''3rd person''' || is (es) || are(n) || hath (haveth) || han (haven) |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Simple Past''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || was (wes) || were(n) || hadde || hadden |- | '''2nd person''' || wast (wer) || were(n) || haddest || hadden |- | '''3rd person''' || was (wes) || were(n) || hadde || hadden |- | colspan="5" align="center"|'''Perfect Form''' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || have (y)ben || han (y)ben || have (y)had(de) || han (y)had(de) |- | '''2nd person''' || hast (y)ben || han (y)ben || hast (y)had(de)|| han (y)had(de) |- | '''3rd person''' || hath (y)ben || han (y)ben || hath (y)had(de)|| han (y)had(de) |} ₊The ( ) s represent one variation in spelling. There are often many other possible variations, but it is impractical to write them all here. =Texts= The most well known text in Middle English is '''The Canterbury Tales''' by [[Geoffrey Chaucer]]. In that, there are many famous stories, such as '''The Knight's Tale''', '''The Reeve's Tale''', '''The Wife of Bath's Tale''', '''The Nun's Priest's Tale,''' amongst many others. Other major texts include '''[[Brut]]''', '''The Second Shepard's Play''', '''The Play of Noah''', '''Sir Gawain and the Green Knight''', '''La Mort d'Arthur''', '''Everyman''', '''Piers Plowman''', amongst others. ==Sources and Further Readings== This Page is by [[Timothy Patrick Snyder]].

Note for '''Middle Korean''': the prescriptive spellings and pronunciations were ultimately ignored: * The "muddy" (全濁) onsets were pronounced (and spelt) with plain consonants instead of emphatic consonants; * The ''kh-'' (溪) onset tended to be pronounced without aspiration; * The ''l-'' (來) onset was pronounced ㄴ [n] when word-initial (i.e. the first character of a compound) (but see the note below about North Korean); * The ''ny-'' (日) onset was not pronounced when word-initial; * The ''ng-'' (疑) onset was not pronounced at all. Note for '''Modern Korean''': * The following regular sound changes apply but are omitted to reduce clutter: ** ㄷ ㅌ [t tʰ] > ㅈ ㅊ [tɕ tɕʰ] / _[i,j] ** ㄹ [ɾ] > ㄴ [n] / #_ (reversed due to spelling pronunciation in North Korean) ** ㄴ [n] > ㅇ Ø / _[i,j] ** ㅂ ㄷ ㅈ ㄱ ㅅ [p t tɕ k s] > ㅃ ㄸ ㅉ ㄲ ㅆ [p' t' tɕ' k' s'] after consonants (in compounds) == Rimes == Abbreviations used Onsets: * P = MC labial (p,ph,b,m) * T = MC dental stop (t,th,d,n) * TR = MC retroflex stop (tr,trh,dr,nr) * S = MC dental sibilant (ts,tsh,dz,s,z) * SR = MC retroflex sibilant (tsr,tsrh,dzr,sr) * SY = MC palatal sibilant (tsy,tsyh,dzy,sy,zy) * TSR = TR,SR * TSRY = TR,SR,SY * K = MC velar or laryngeal (k,kh,g,ŋ,x,h,ʔ,y,hj) Readings: * COL = colloquial reading (白讀) * LIT = literary reading (文讀) Chongniu (重紐) classes: * CN3 = chongniu three * CN4 = chongniu four (represented by an extra -i- or -j- in Baxter's orthography) Some of the onset-rime combinations attested in rime books correspond to extremely rare characters. Owing to the difficulty of ascertaining the pronunciation of those characters in modern languages, the modern reflexes of those combinations have been omitted (for now).

Originally a given sentance would have been written- ʉx sois ʉtɨɺ nɨ dɨs fu. ʉx so-i-s ʉtɨɺ nɨ dɨs fu man hit-PRES-REAL dog DAT 3P.GEN nose The man hit the dog on its nose. But it became fashionable to seperate the accusitive from other complements with a form of "and" or "with", creating- ʉx sois ʉtɨɺ i nɨ dɨs fu ʉx so-i-s ʉtɨɺ i nɨ dɨs fu man hit-PRES-REAL dog CONJ DAT 3P.GEN nose The man hit the dog and on its nose. only for ''i'' to become cliticized to the end of accusitive noun phrases. ʉx sois ʉtɨɺ i ʉx so-i-s ʉtɨɺ i man hit-PRES-REAL dog ACC The man hit the dog. This even occurs now at the end of a string of adjectives for the phrase: ʉx sois ʉtɨɺ ozal tibun i ʉx so-i-s ʉtɨɺ ozal tib-un i man hit-PRES-REAL dog ugly big-ANI ACC The man hit the big ugly dog. *Obviously another extensive change was the complete confusion between topic and subject. Originally, SVO and VSO word orders were in heavy use, but SVO eventually became dominant, and by the time Western Measceineafh could be considered a seperate language, SVO was the only acceptable form, with even occasional SOV constructions, where the object is considered topical (these however were relatively rare). *Unlike essentially all other branches of the family, only a few qualifiers maintained agreement with their noun. These were - tibun/tibum (large/big), bɨfun/bɨfum (old), pfun/pfum (small/little), and lɨtɔn/lɨtɔm (bad). *Determiners and genitive modifiers became part of the small but growing class of modifiers that proceeded nouns. Many theorize that they became so by analogy with numerals, which had always been in the front. *With topicalization of the subject increasingly mandatory, other forms of topicalization for less prominent pieces of the sentence developed. Originally, such extra information was pushed in front of everything else: Ozɨus ʉx sois ʉtɨɺ i. now man hit-PRES-REAL dog ACC The man is hitting the dog right '''''now'''''. But, to seperate the topicalized section from the rest of the utterance, "is" ((it) is) is frequently used to seperate the topic from the remainder of the sentence: ozɨus is ʉx sois ʉtɨɺ i now PRES-REAL man hit-PRES-REAL dog ACC It's '''''now''''' (that) the man is hitting the dog. Naturally, the secondary verb must agree with the main verb in terms of tense and mood. For example: pfɛt ɨn ʉx baʉnɨxis ʉtɨɺ i pfɛt ɨ-n ʉx baʉnɨx-i-n ʉtɨɺ i night FUT-IRR man eat-FUT-IRR dog ACC It might become (during) the '''''night''''', (that) the man may go and eat the dog. Gethavage 5446 34116 2008-07-18T20:03:05Z Rakesprogress 1229 '''Gethavage''' '''Gethavage''' is a work in progress - a language I have been developing mainly in my head. I shall unveil it gradually such as it now - and build from there. The approach will be practical rather than technical. Howevr, Gethavage is designed to be expressive and flexible - not simple or easy. '''Gethavage''' just means "the way we speak": '''get''' - speak '''ha''' - [pl] '''va''' - [first person] '''ge''' - [suffix of manner] '''g''' before '''e''', '''é''' or '''i''' is pronounced as ''gy'' (Hu) but a little softer (i.e. ''[d]y''). '''e''' is generally pron ''yɘ'' - although swallowed when final. Stress is flexible in '''Gethavage''' and is usually marked by an acute. However, this is not possible with '''e''' as ''' '''é''' is in separate use. Shall resolve that. So we could say pron: [d]yɘt'hava[d]y[ɘ]. Not every word will require so much explanation from here on! Other language names are constructed slightly differently - although consistently. Thus '''ánkoget''' (English) and '''rántiget tískiget pánget dáliget rήsiget lúsoget dániget cíget níviget héliget tήruget rápoget kήmriget''' most of which should be obvious with a little thought. Note '''rήsiget'''. Gethavage (hereinafter abbreviated to Gt) has an additional vowel '''η''' indicating ''ɘ''. Names of the corresponding countries are easy to project - just replace '''get''' with '''-lazη'''. Thus: '''Ánkolazη Rántilazη Tískilazη Pánelazη Dálilazη Rήsilazη Lúsolazη Dánilazη Cílazη Nívilazη Hélilazη Tήrulazη Rápolazη Kήmrilazη''' Prepositions are usually postpositions - and to start simply with the names of countries: '''-í''' - in '''-ó''' - to '''-ú''' - from whence of course '''Ankolazí Ankolazó Ankolazú''' etc. Note change of stress.

Further, the V.L. quantitative distinction (if it ever existed in atonic vowels, cf. § 21) was not maintained. GalIo-Roman therefore inherited from V.L. the atonic vowels a, e, i, o, u, which were presumably short and were already tending to weaken and disappear.'' ''(ii) FINAL AND COUNTERFINAL VOWELS'' ''29.

This change dates from about the end of the eighth century. e, i, o, u generally disappear (about the seventh century), but they persist in the form of the weakened supporting vowel ə in the following cases: (a) before a group of consonants (AMENT>aiment); (b) after a group of consonants requiring a supporting vowel, notably cons. + I, r, m, n, excepting kl, gr, gn, rm, rn (DUPLUM > double, PATREM > peðre >pere, *HELMU (Germ. helm) > helme > heaume, ALNUM> alne> aune). The group may be primary, i.e. inherited as such from Latin, or secondary, i.e. developed subsequently through the loss of a vowel (MASCULUM > MASC'LU > masle> male). In the absence of any supporting vowel an ə is developed (INSIMUL> ENSEM'L > ensemble, MINOR> MEN'R > mendre later moindre ≠ moins). It will be seen that ə persists even after the reduction of the group which originalIy required the supporting vowel (pere, heaume, aune, male).

Oh, not that it's important, but incidentally '''taalen''' is [[Dutch]] for '''Languages''' (it's related to the English word '''talk''' and the Swedish verb '''tala''', to talk, or speak). Bakatsu 5453 38708 2008-10-17T01:15:38Z Zereskaoate 1231 Bakatsu (pronounced [bAkAtsu] (XSAMPA)) is located in the Bajuwen system, and is the fourth planet from it's sun. It has a single moon which revolves around it, named Dobokoda ([dobokodA]). ==History of the Planet== Bakatsu has been determined by scientists to be around 3.8 billion years old. Recent studies have shown that around 10,000 NZ (nakya Zelse, Before Zelse, around 11,160 Zelse years before the current day), the planet was devoid of all life. But suddenly, as if from nowhere, humans appeared, in their very form they exist to this day, a long with artifacts of technologies that should only have been invented 200 years before the present. From the enormous amounts of remains found together, it has been determined that these early Bakatsuku (people of Bakatsu) went through a period of on/off wars that lasted for thousands of years. Not much is known, due to a huge lack of any historical documents, but somewhere in there the Pre-Great War Bakatsu formed, including the nation of Zelse. About 800 Zelse years later, the Great War formed the political boundries that exist on Bakatsu to this day. ==Geography of Bakatsu== The Bakatsu year is 400 days long. It is actually closer to 400 1/3 days long, adding a leap year every three years to make up for this. The days are 24 "Earth" hours long (10 Zelse "hours" long). It's size is extremely similar to Earth. One quality that makes Bakatsu unique is its rotation. Unlike Earth, Bakatsu rotates at a perfect 0 degree angle. Therefore, the concept of "seasons" is unheard of on Bakatsu. Climate varies depending on your distance from the equator. This allows for year-round farming in many parts of the globe. This also means that the sun rises and sets at the same time every day. ==Inhabitants== ===Human=== The most intelligent "species" on Bakatsu are a race of humans much like ourselves. Like on Earth, humans have created separate nations in which they live. ===Other Animals=== Bakatsu Animal species greatly resemble our own, though a few very different species exist, due to genetic engineering by humans. (Such genetic work, on animals and humans, has since been banned.) ===Theories on Origins of Life on Bakatsu=== It was only after the Great War, and when things had significantly calmed down, that people really got into learning more about Bakatsu's history. Due to lack of almost any historical documents, very little was known. When scientists finally started working on finding out about Bakatsu, they discovered that life on Bakatsu only appeared around 10,000 Zelse years ago (which isn't too far off from our own "Earth" years). Also, remains of tools of a technologically advanced society were found. This has led to most scientists accepting a sort of "panspermia" theory to the origins of Bakatsu life, that Humans migrated from some other planet to Bakatsu 10,000 years ago. This discovery also increased the popular belief in many religious parties' theory of creation of Humans by gods (or in some religions a single God). A program has already been set up by the IH (Ima Himatsushde, "Collection of Nations", like the Earth U.N.) to search for signs of the original home of the Humans, but no indication of life has been found as of yet. ==Political== Bakatsu today is made up of several nations. The largest of these is the Himatsu Zelse, which encompasses it's own continent and a semi-large island (as well as several smaller island territories). Other prominent nations include Gikachu, Pochak, and Jur. Other "nations" are made up of small "tribes" and do not contain a central government, and thus do not have an official "name". Bakatsu was once a much different place politically, especially 200 years ago, during the period that is known as the Great War. ===The Great War=== ====The Beginning==== About 350 years ago, Bakatsu was in a technological state resembling the Middle Ages. The two most powerful nations, Zelse and Stchafe, were constantly squabbling with each other. Meanwhile, the Zelse monarchy was busy in the nation of Bagamaji. The monarchy was aiding Bagamaji's militant forces, which were poorly trained and unable to resist any attacks (Much territory had been lost to the Stchafe when they attacked not long before). This aid was a huge help to Zelse as well, who would soon gain a powerful ally (Bagamaji was the largest nation pre-Great War, and had a largest population, and thus the largest amount of potential soldiers) and had open trade with the Bagamaji. The Stchafe decided that they didn't want the Zelse helping the Bagamaji, and began attacking the Bagamaji and the Zelse forces there. The Zelse monarchy quickly struck back. Before long, both nations gathered allies around the world, and soon the Great War began. The War is split into 3 sections; Old, Pre-Modern, and Modern ====Old Period==== The Old period of the Great War consisted of the Zelse monarchy against the Stchafe dictatorship. The weapons included swords, bow-and-arrows, and other Middle Ages-like tech. The later part of the Old Period saw the use of large catapaults and the first cannons. ====Pre-Modern Period==== By now, every nation on Bakatsu was fighting in the war. Zelse and Stchafe were using all their resources available to fight. If you were old enough to fight, you were on the battle field, or some other work for the military. All science was focused on inventing a better killing machine than the other side. With the invention of gun powder in the Old Period, the first rifles were produced. Warfare quickly changed from close-combat to more trench style warfare to adapt to the new weapons. In the Zelse nation, a gang known as the Kanako-sai (meaning "part of the police" in Old Zelse and Zereskaoate) had gained huge popularity among the people. They led a huge revolution against the Zelse monarchy, and won. The Zelse nation pulled out of the war, and became a Republic under it's new leadership. But it's allies refused to surrender, and continued fighting. Attacks from oppsing nations on the New Zelse Republic caused it's rejoining of the war, which indicates the start of the Modern period. ====Modern Period==== By now, nations were exhausted by the total warfare that had been going on for 100 years, and the war began to die down. However, the Zelse Republic and it's allies knew that they would never win unless they finally destroyed the Stchafe HQ, where all the Stchafe war-leaders were hiding. The HQ was well hidden, and simply searching for it yielded no results. By this time, the tech level was equal to that of ours today. Finally, a group of Zelse soldiers intercepted a radio transmission from Stchafe HQ, and the coordinates were eventually sent to the Zelse HQ. The Stchafe HQ was destroyed, and the Stchafe forces soon surrendered. ====Aftermath==== The nations of Stchafe, Bagamaji, and Zelse joined forces a few years after the war to become the Himatsu Zelse that exists today. The Ikutsutsujan, "End of the Great War", is celebrated world-wide. It took almost 100 years to fully recover from the War, but today Bakatsu is a peaceful planet, since no nation wants to start a war when the horrors of the Great War are still in mind. The nation of Pochatu split into Gikachu and Pochak during the war, and still exist today. ==Bakatsu Today== ===The Himatsu Zelse=== The Himatsu Zelse continues to lead in technology and wealth among the other nations. It continues to practice moderate isolation from international affairs. ===Space Program=== During and immediately after the Great War, most prominent nations led a space program. These programs were brought together and today are regulated as a single, I.H. program. A permanent colony has already been established on Bakatsu's moon, and in fact is the official I.H. Headquarters, as well as a residential colony, split amongst several nations. Space travel has been made easy with the use of nuclear fusion, and regular traffic of shuttles between Bakatsu and it's moon can be observed. A scientific, expiremtnal colony has been formed on the nearest planet to Bakatsu, "Kijin" (pronounced [kiZiN] (X-SAMPA)). This may one day become a permanent, residential colony, but for now is only for scientific study. Scientists have been able to observe first hand the strange "seasons" on this planet. ==Languages of Bakatsu== A list of the most spoken languages on Bakatsu (in order of number of speakers): *[[Zereskaoate]] *[[Bagamaji]] *[[Stchafen]] *Heman *Noju Thousands of other languages exist, but these are the 5 most-spoken. [[Category:Conworlds]] Talk:Bakatsu 5454 38530 2008-10-07T04:24:56Z Zereskaoate 1231 <i>Unlike Earth, Bakatsu rotates at a perfect 90 degree angle. Therefore, the concept of "seasons" is unheard of on Bakatsu.</i> I assume that should actually read 0? 90 degrees would mean that at one point in its orbit, the north pole would be pointed directly at the sun, and at the opposite side, the south pole would be pointed directly at the sun. <i>Bakatsu Animal species greatly resemble our own, though a few very different species exist, due to genetic engineering by humans. (Such genetic work, on animals and humans, has since been banned.)</i> Are the humans and the Bakatsu animals native to Bakatsu, or was Bakatsu terraformed at some point in the past? [[User:Nik|Nik]] 20:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC) <i>I assume that should actually read 0? 90 degrees would mean that at one point in its orbit, the north pole would be pointed directly at the sun, and at the opposite side, the south pole would be pointed directly at the sun.</i> Right, I meant 0. I was a bit confused, whether it was 90 or 0. Thanks. <i>re the humans and the Bakatsu animals native to Bakatsu, or was Bakatsu terraformed at some point in the past? [[User:Nik|Nik]] 20:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)</i> I edited the page recently, including the theory on the origin of life on Bakatsu (and what is known, specifically that "life" as it is today only appeared 10,000 years ago, leading to the belief of a migration of Humans and animals alike from another planet, for purposes unknown). Also note that when I refer to the present, I mean the present day on Bakatsu, not necessarily the present in our time. Kupmec Faraneit 5455 45565 2009-05-23T09:31:43Z Humancadaver101 212 /* ConjugationA */ Kumpec Faraneit is the dialect of [[Faraneit]] spoken in the Kupeameaceih, a desert area north of Lescealh, following the explusion of those that lived in the Heajazareifh when it was conquered by the Harapah. It is highly innovative phonetically and grammatically and is often called a seperate language as such. It clearly has a basis in [[Northeastern Hameih Lescealh Faraneit]] (aka Heajaz Faraneit) but is also blatantly independent in many ways. ==Phonology Chart== {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Bilabial !Labio-Dental !Alveolar !Lateral Alveolar !Retroflex !Velar !Uvular |- |'''Nasal''' | align=center | {{IPA|m}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|n}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ɳ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ŋ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɴ}} |- |'''Stop''' | align=center | {{IPA|p&nbsp;&nbsp;b}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|t&nbsp;&nbsp;d}} | align=center | {{IPA|tɬ&nbsp;&nbsp;dl}} | align=center | {{IPA|ʈ}} | align=center | {{IPA|k}} | align=center | {{IPA|q}} |- |'''Affricate''' | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|pf}} | align=center | {{IPA|ʦ}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ʈʂ}} | align=center | {{IPA|kx}} | &nbsp; |- |'''Nasal Affricate''' | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|mv~)}} | align=center | {{IPA|nz~)}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Fricative''' | align=center | {{IPA|ɸ}} | align=center | {{IPA|f&nbsp;&nbsp;v}} | align=center | {{IPA|s&nbsp;&nbsp;z}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ʂ}} | align=center | {{IPA|x&nbsp;&nbsp;ɣ}} | align=center | {{IPA|χ}} |- |'''Rhotic''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|r}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ʀ}} |- |'''Lateral''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ɬ&nbsp;&nbsp;l}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɭ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ʟ}} | &nbsp; |} Vowels: /i y e ɛ a ɒ o u ɨ/ ==Sound Changes from Heajaz Faraneit== *l ɭ merge medially to ɬ *pɨɬ pɛɬ pɔɬ pʊɬ > pɬ > pʰ > ɸ *bɨɬ bɛɬ bɔɬ bʊɬ > bl > bʰ > h > DELETES *tɨɬ tɛɬ tɔɬ tʊɬ > tɬ) *dɨɬ dɛɬ dɔɬ dʊɬ > dl) *kɨɬ kɛɬ kɔɬ kʊɬ > kɬ) *qɨɬ qɛɬ qɔɬ qʊɬ > gl > ʟ *Hypercorrection on l ɭ merger but affricates preserved *kɬ) > ʈɭ) > ʈ *ɨ a > DELETE /[-stress] *ɔ > ɒ *'ʊ > 'u > y *nɭ > ɳ *ʃ > ʂ *ʧ > ʈʂ *Prepositions absorb initial stress in many cases *ɛ a ɒ > DELETE /[-stress] *ʊ > DELETES *ʒl ʒɭ > r *ʒ > ʀ > ɣ *First torsion then epenthesis with /a/ produces: **(F)(C)(S)V(S)(F)(C) ***F = fricative, S = approximant or nasal ***Closest approximate assimilation within clusters *VF# > V:# *θ ð > f v ==Declension== The following are the pronunciation of the pronouns and noun groups as used in Kupmec Faraneit: Nominative: {| border=1 ! |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural |- !

It was given various amounts of special treatment as a de facto lingua franca during that time period. ==Phonemes== {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Bilabial !Labio-Dental !Alveolar !Post-Alveolar !Retroflex !Velar |- |'''Stop''' | align=center | {{IPA|p&nbsp;&nbsp;b}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|t&nbsp;&nbsp;d}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|k}} |- |'''Nasal''' | align=center | {{IPA|m}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|n}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Fricative''' | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|f&nbsp;&nbsp;v}} | align=center | {{IPA|s&nbsp;&nbsp;z}} | align=center | {{IPA|ʃ&nbsp;&nbsp;ʒ}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|x}} |- |'''Approximant''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ʁ}} |- |'''Lateral Flap''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|l}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ɭ}} | &nbsp; |} *Phonemic Vowels: /i ɨ e ə æ ɑ o u/ **Harmonic Vowels: [i ɨ e y æ ɑ ø y] ==Sound Changes from Standard Lescealh Faraneit== *uq iq eq oq > ʊq ɪq ɛq ɔq *q > k *ç > ʃ *ɔn ɛn an > an *in ɪn un ʊn > ɪn ɪn ʊn ʊn *ɔ o > o *oʀ eʀ ɛʀ > ɔʀ ɛʀ ɛʀ *iʀ ɪʀ uʀ ʊʀ > ɪʀ ɪʀ ʊʀ ʊʀ *θ > DELETES *ʊ > ə *ɪ > ɨ *iV ɨV eV ɛV > jV *oV uV > wV *aV əV > V *ɛ a > æ ɑ ==Development of Limited Vowel Harmony== Prior to the universal lenition of /ʊ/, a primitive form of vowel harmony emerged. /o ʊ u/ became /ø ʏ y/ prior to a syllable containing /i ɪ e ɛ/. From this initial system, /y ʏ/ merged to /y/. Yet, within the verbal suffixes, this initial form was preserved, resulting in alternating forms depending on the last vowel in the verb's stem. For example, Boaneicejeih. Boaneic-e-j-eih eat-PRES-REAL-1P I eat. but Boneicoejeih. Boneic-'''''oe'''''-j-eih eat-RPAST-REAL-1P I was eating. as opposed to Ceuzejeih. Ceuz-e-j-eih betray-PRES-REAL-1P I'm betraying (some one). and Ceuzojeih. Ceuz-'''''o'''''-j-eih betray-RPAST-REAL-1P I betrayed (some one). This affect is not limited to tense markers, but also affected the root's rightmost vowel for the future tense. For example: Ceuzejoah. Ceuz-e-j-oah betray-PRES-REAL-3P He/She/It betrays (some one). In contrast with: C'''''ue'''''zijoah. Ceuz-i-j-oah betray-FUT-REAL-3P He/She/It will betray (some one). ==Grammatical Peculiarities== Most notably rej, to have, is no longer irregularly conjugated, but instead incorporated into a genitive phrase. In SLF, one would say- Rejeih teic. r-e-j-eih teic. have-PRES-REAL-1P goat I/We have (a/some) goat(s). Instead, the only form used verbally in CeLF is- Teicearejeaheaz. teic-ea-r-e-j-ea-heaz. goat-GEN-have-PRES-REAL-GEN-1P.S.GEN I have (a/some) goat(s). Additionally, both zah (not) and sceatej (to be required) were cliticised as prefixes to other verbs, essentially operating as negative and necessitive mood markers. In both, they were heavily simplified in ad hoc form. For example, prior to /ɑ æ ə e/ only the /z/ in zah is not deleted: Zazojoh heim. z(a)-(h)az-o-j-oh heim. NEG-harm-RPAST-REAL-3P 1P.S.ACC. (He/She/It/They) harmed me. from original Hazej. As for /i ɨ/, however, Zayleitejeih molein. za-(ei)leit-e-j-eih molein. NEG-greet-PRES-REAL-1P 2P.PLUR.ACC I am not greeting you. while /o u/, Zawneujeih dekein. Za-(o)n-eu-j-eih dekein. NEG-see-RPAST-REAL-1P 3P.S.INANI.ACC I didn't see it. Prior to consonants, however, the /a/ is preserved. Sceatej simplifies much more regularly, becoming sc- when the verb begins with a vowel and scea- when the verb does not. Sceadeuvijeih. Scea-deuv-i-j-eih. NEC-climb-FUT-REAL-1P I must go and climb. Sceileitejih teibein. Sc-(h)eileit-e-j-ih teibein. NEC-greet-PRES-REAL-2P 3P.PLUR.ACC You must greet them. As a result of the creation of a necessitive, the actual imperative mood (-t-) has become completely extinct in Central Lescealh. Similarly, subject-dropping to form an imperative has also declined, but not to nearly the same level. Scekoah Faraneit 5459 34375 2008-07-23T17:25:52Z Humancadaver101 212 /* Lhezoat Dialect */ This is the dialect of [[Faraneit]] spoken in the city of Scekoah and throughout the Southwestern area of Lescealh. ==Phonology== {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Bilabial !Labio-Dental !Alveolar !Post-Alveolar !Palatal !Velar !Uvular |- |'''Stop''' | align=center | {{IPA|p&nbsp;&nbsp;b}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|t&nbsp;&nbsp;d}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|k}} | align=center | {{IPA|q}} |- |'''Nasal''' | align=center | {{IPA|m}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|n}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Fricative''' | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|f&nbsp;&nbsp;v}} | align=center | {{IPA|s&nbsp;&nbsp;z}} | align=center | {{IPA|[ʃ]&nbsp;&nbsp;ʒ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ç}} | align=center | {{IPA|x}} | align=center | {{IPA|χ}} |- |'''Lateral Flap''' | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|ɬ&nbsp;l}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |} *The phonemicity of [ʃ] is highly in doubt as it only contrasts with /ʒ/ prior to /a/, and only contrasts with /ç/ word finally. *Monophthongs: /a ɛ e ɪ i ɔ o ʊ u/ *Diphthongs: [ə ia) ua) ai) ei) au) ou)] **The phonemicity of these is in doubt because they only appear directly prior to /χ/ *Allophony: **/si zi ti di/ > [ɕi ʑi tɕ)i ʑi] **/f s/ > [v z] medially **/b d v z ʒ/ > [p t f s ʃ] word finally **/ni/ > /ɲi/ **/'a 'e 'o/ > [a: e: o:] **Other vowels slightly center when stressed **/xa/ > [χa] ==Colloquial Register== In the colloquial register, however, /χ/ not only deletes but often signifies where to split a morpheme or word, dropping the half following the /χ/ as well as that phoneme itself. As such, the diphthongs may be analyzed as phonemic as they then contrast with other vowels. However, this innovation is not present outside of Scekoah itself, and there is indisputably relagated to the colloquial register. ==Lhezoat Dialect== In the city of Lhezoat, a single shift has radically altered the vowel system. The vowel clusters /ei eɪ/ became analyzed as [e:] and /ou oʊ/ as [o:], regardless of stress. As a result, these two new phonemes add a dimension of vowel length to the system. Interestingly, the distinction between them and their "short" equivalents is very precarious, as both /'e 'e:/ are realized as [e:]. Additionally, unstressed, word terminal /a ə/ delete, strengthening any argument of phonemicity of [ʃ], as it then contrasts with /ʒ/ from earlier /ʒa ʒə/ as well as /ç/. Grammatically, the only true deviation from Scekoah Faraneit is the very archaic preferance for teareipeas to be used solely as a noun meaning other people or other thing(s), rather than a fully fledged fourth person. For instance, Boaneicojoah tip dekein, teareipeas. boaneic-o-j-oah tip dekein, teareipeas. eat-RPAST-REAL-3P 3P.P.NOM 3P.S.INANI.ACC, other(s). They ate it, the other people (did). As opposed to a more SLF-like construction, where teareipeas would be treated like the actual subject. Lhezoat Faraneit, in fact, is so prominently V1, that extremely important adverbs (such as zah) are often relegated to following it. Producing extremely unique sentence orders, such as, Boaneicejeih zah hav dekein. boaneic-e-j-eih zah hav dekein. eat-PRES-REAL-1P NEG 1P.S.NOM 3P.S.INANI.ACC I'm not eating it. Such forms are uncommon through out the rest of the Scekoah Faraneit speaking region, but extremely common in Lhezoat. ==Cohut Dialect== In this smaller still settlement, the interesting development is the alternatively development of /au) ai)/ which became /ɑ: æ:/ combined with the realization of /χ/ as [χ h] or dropped in free variation, making this semi-phonemic, in addition to all of the various other diphthongs (none of the others of which are transformed into long monophthongs as of yet). Grammatically, the Cohut Dialect shares the Lhezoat trait of demoting teareipeas to simply a common noun, but also breaks from standard Scekoah Faraneit by permitting subject fronting, which all other forms do not permit almost dogmatically. Instead, object fronting is merely preferred to subject fronting while both are accepted. For instance, Hav sineih mokein. hav s-i-n-eih mokein. 1P.S.NOM hit-FUT-IRR-1P 2P.S.ACC I may go hit you. is just as acceptable as Mokein sineih hav. mokein s-i-n-eih hav. 2P.S.ACC hit-FUT-IRR-1P 1P.S.NOM I may go hit you. although the second is more commonly used, because Sineih hav mokein. hit-FUT-IRR-1P 1P.S.NOM 2P.S.ACC I may go hit you. the unmarked form, is just viewed as stressing the subject too. ==Sound Changes from Standard Lescealh Faraneit== *l ɭ > ɬ ɬ˞ > l ɬ˞ > l ɬ *aʀ ɛʀ eʀ ɪʀ iʀ > æɐ)ʀ əʀ eɛ)ʀ əʀ iɪʀ > ai)χ əχ ei)χ əχ ia)χ *ɔʀ oʀ ʊʀ uʀ > ɑɐ)ʀ oɔ)ʀ ɘʀ uʊ)ʀ > au)χ ou)χ ɘχ ua)χ *ʀ > χ *θ ð > s z *si zi ti di > ɕi ʑi tɕ)i ʑi *VsV VfV > z v *d# b# v# z# ʒ# > t p f s ʃ ==Grammatical Differences== Grammatically, Scekoah Faraneit is a mishmash of the conservative and the innovative. Like a preservation of early Faraneit, pronouns are dropped only when they are more than understood but were used in the prior clause and the imperative mood is alive and well both in speech and writing. But Scekoah Faraneit is far from the Lithuanian of the Faraneit dialects, as it incorporates a number of strange structures. For instance, instead of the Standard Faraneit: Kejeihav her. k-e-j-eih-(h)av her. be-PRES-REAL-1P-1P.S happy. I'm happy. The speakers would say- Bafhejoah lepir fheis hav. bafh-e-j-oah lepir fheis hav. rest-PRES-REAL-3P joy inside 1P-S-NOM Joy sits inside me. Alluding to the Quechua-esque association of behind with the future and before with the past, the verb in such a phrase wouldn't be conjugated in a seperate tense to show a past or future experience of happiness. Instead- Bafhejoah searisc seih nor. bafh-e-j-oah searisc seih nor. rest-PRES-REAL-3P craziness behind 2P.S.NOM You will be crazy. (lit: Craziness rests behind you.) Bafhejoah keusceh zeih hav. bafh-e-j-oah keusceh zeih hav. rest-PRES-REAL-3P sadness before 1P.S.NOM I was sad. (lit: Sadness rests in front of you). These constructions are not found in any other dialect of Faraneit, or even elsewhere within the Rajo-Faraneit family. Elsewhere, seih or its equivalent can mark phrases as being in the future or objects as being in back of something, but not this situation. The exact same usage of zeih is also lacking. Similarly unusually, the verb kej, to be, is not used in full in other contexts either. Instead, a situation similar to rej in [[Central Lescealh Faraneit]] exists. For example: Qidiseiheakejeaheaz. qidiseih-ea-k-e-j-ea-heaz. soldier-GEN-be-PRES-REAL-GEN-1P.S.GEN I am (a/the) soldier. Interestingly (and identically to the treatment of rej in [[Central Lescealh Faraneit]]) the verb-noun can still be placed into a specific tense, aspect, or mood. Raceumibeakojeameareas. raceumi-b-ea-k-o-j-ea-meareas. child-PLUR-GEN-be-RPAST-REAL-GEN-2P.PLUR.GEN You were children. Deicealeakeneadeis. deiceal-ea-k-e-n-ea-deis. alcohol-GEN-be-PRES-IRR-GEN-3P.S.GEN It might be alcohol. Fronting of any of the various complements is much less rare than in other dialects, which, while often misidentified as a conservative feature, is actually rather innovative. Instead of fronting a prepositional phrase to the beginning of the clause, it is often slotted after the verb, producing a word order often thought of as weird by other Faraneit speakers- Boaneiciteih (fheis boaneic) feareih hacaz. boaneic-i-t-eih (fheis boaneic) feareih hacaz. eat.FUT.OPT-1P (inside restaurant) 1P.PLUR.INCL.NOM meat We should go eat the meat (inside the restaurant). In fact, this dialect is so strongly VS that OVS constructions are preferred over SVO constructions. For example, a Scekoah Faraneit speaker would rather say- Hin hazejih nor. hin haz-e-j-ih nor. 1P.S.ACC hurt-PRES-REAL-2P 2P.S.NOM You are hurting me. than with the subject fronted and the object behind the verb, how nearly every other dialect of Faraneit prefers it.

In both, plural marking is never obligatory (one of the more common traits of [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages]]), but plural marking is still possible. In both languages, one affixes ʋa to a given noun to mark its plurality, but Tiijaato does so as a suffix, rather than Tir'àata that does so as a prefix. Regardless, this suffix was worn away by the various leniting sound changes that Tiijaato experienced, resulting in the marking of the plural by merely a lengthened final vowel. Outside of this, the only other major grammatical difference is the wholesale abandonment of the locative case in Tiijaato, where genitive has completely supplanted it in function. ==Changes from [[Tir'jauta]]== *j > ʝ > DELETES *aɨ) ai) au) > a: *a: > a > ʌ *ei ai > e: *au > ʌ: *c ç > ʧ ʃ *a# > DELETES *V:# > V# *Tonogenesis: **Vw# Vɻ# Vɭ# Vr# Vl# Vʋ# > V:_M **Vʂ# Vx# Vχ# > Vʐ# Vɣ# Vʁ# > V:_L **Vf# Vɸ# Vs# > Vh# > V_L **Vk# Vq# > Vg# Vɢ# > V:ʔ > V:_k > V:_H **Vp# Vt# Vʈ# > Vʔ# > V_H **V# > V_M **NOTE: Here # is used meaning syllable end, not word end, no other section does so *f > ɸ > h *VV > VʔV File:Modern Romance Distribution (MGR).png 5463 34539 2008-07-26T12:40:04Z Pete 762 Furonj 5464 34580 2008-07-27T08:40:52Z Humancadaver101 212 /* Phonology */ Furonj is a [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages|Rajo-Faraneit Language]] spoken in various pockets throughout the most coastal, western Measceineafh, along the northwestern tip of the continent [[Lheinead]]. ==Phonology== {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Bilabial !Labio-Dental !Alveolar !Palatal !Velar !Glottal |- |'''Stop''' | align=center | {{IPA|p&nbsp;&nbsp;b}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|t&nbsp;&nbsp;d}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɟ}} | align=center | {{IPA|k&nbsp;&nbsp;g}} | align=center | {{IPA|q}} |- |'''Aspirate''' | align=center | {{IPA|bʰ}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|dʰ}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|gʰ}} | &nbsp; |- |'''Fricative''' | align=center | {{IPA|ɸ}} | align=center | {{IPA|f}} | align=center | {{IPA|s}} | align=center | {{IPA|ç}} | align=center | {{IPA|x}} | &nbsp; |- |'''Nasal''' | align=center | {{IPA|m}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|n}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɲ}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- |'''Approximant''' | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|w}} | align=center | {{IPA|l&nbsp;r&nbsp;ɬ}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |} *Consonant Allophony: **/p t ç k g/ aspirate when initial in a stressed syllable **/n s t d r l ɬ/ > [ŋ sˠ tˠ dˠ ɣ ɫ ɬˠ] before /u ʊ ʉ/ **/t d s/ > [ʧ ʤ ʃ] before /i ɪ ɨ/ **/q/ > [χ] when word final *Vowels: /i ɪ ɨ ɛ a ɔ ʉ ʊ u/ **Vowels lengthen slightly when stressed **/i ɪ ɨ ɛ a ɔ ʉ ʊ u/ > [ɪ ɘ ɘ ə ɐ ɵ ɵ ɵ ʊ] in closed syllables ==Sound Changes from WM== *f > ɸ *pf ts > f s *ɴ > ŋ *i u > ɪ ʊ *e o > i u *k g ŋ > c ɟ ɲ /_i,ɪ,ɨ *c k > ç x *q > k *ʔ > q *Vk(V) > g *gr gl gɬ gʋ > gʰ *rg lg ɬg ʋg > gʰ *ks sk kx xk kç fk kf ɸk kɸ > k *ŋ > n /_a,e,o *n > ŋ /_u,ʊ,ʉ ==Morphology== ==Syntax== Naturalist artlang 5465 34662 2008-07-29T12:50:13Z WeepingElf 43 [[Naturalist artlang]] moved to [[Naturalistic artlang]] #REDIRECT [[Naturalistic artlang]] User:Epigraphist 5466 34711 2008-07-31T07:16:05Z Epigraphist 1233 What's up?

Ad perpetua (until something happens), my permanent e-mail is little_l_jrjr at yahoo.com . I have this Group for Marc Okrand's Atlantean language: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/atlantean_language/ I use it like a blog sometimes. Use it to track me down. My Wikipedia account is also Epigraphist and can be accessed throught the "Atlantean language" page and my edits there-to. If all that fails, just search my name around the Internet and see if you can find me. I shouldn't ever be that hard to track down. If so, contact friends. Even resort to Facebook (but make your intention clear in your messages to me). [["Why You'd Want to Track Me Down" :D]] I'd probably be interested in a constructed language you're interested in, or some related topic. Tonight I am going to move my Atlantean language article from Wikipedia to here for safe-keeping and distribution. If you look into it very far, you'll figure the entire thing out. Just please keep a low profile. See, to give you the short of it, I was a mild-mannered high school Freshman-Sophomore when I got some freak prize trip to Europe singing Baritone in an International Choir ( 2001 Blue Lake International Choral and Brass Ensemble ). I had a real difficult time trying to learn German and I gave up after a year and let it slide. But then I got to use it in Europe and there was this whole world that opened up. Then, later that summer, my Dad and I went to see "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and that blew my interest in ancient writing systems and languages right open. Its references to ancient Near Eastern mythology, Pre-Columbian civilizations, and the like was a whizz-bang combination of everything I'd been secretly studying in the library on my own for years. I was enthralled! So I picked up "The Atlantean Alphabet" then in wide distribution and memorized it through using it to write English in my journals and other compositions. It wasn't until Fall 2006 that I hit the Internet in search of people also interested in the Alphabet. I spent the intervening 4 years engrossed in a truely long and arduous research of what eventually became all world writing systems that have ever existed (it sounds more impressive than it actually is: most used today are either Latin-based (like ours), Cryllic-based (based on Greek and some "weird stuff"), or endless variations on the proto-Brahmi script. And then, aside from some (usually politically charged) outliers (Ge'ez, Japanese, Canadian syllabics), everything else is Chinese. But, in the past, there was DIVERSITY. And that's where I went. So eventually I decided to dedicate my life's work to it. But before that I made the switch from writing systems to languages (which, somehow, most people don't understand the difference between). It was (I don't remember) at least a year before Summer 2006 when I studied under the warm and charitable (most linguists ARE NOT) Dr. Victoria Bergval. Maybe it was all along that I deepened my concern for languages. But I think slowly. Her class really did it for me! That Winter I researched the language behind the Atlantean Alphabet, a language I was only vaguely aware of or even cared for. I was probably Latin at the time, being interested in learning Greek and Hebrew as well. Well, I found this shell of a fanbase for the entire series, looming like over-grown ruins covered with mysterious glyphs and mysterious lore. From which, I'm finding, most people walk away. I looked at the (here begins metaphor) tools and notes left behind previous excavators and archaeologists and decided that they had all left on the verge of a major break-through. And finding something world-shaking (exaggggeration!) was just around the corner. And it was. So I spent my Christmas Break (and lots of Finals Weeks' study breaks) deciphering the language Marc Okrand created and writing books and notes on it, including dictionaries and grammars. This combination, Atlantean writing and Atlantean language, furnished me in their study with everything I know about writing systems and languages. Along with a life-long career and passion. And other good things. I've been returning to the project on and off in the past 1.5 years. And I'm right now on the verge of the 2nd break-through. This time, all the words (327) have been diligently collected from all known or referenced major sources and perhaps most of the minor ones. Now, it's dicipherment-time, but this time without English glosses. I have to go straight to the base languages (mostly Proto-Indo-European roots). Check out the site, consider learning the language. Maybe see the movie first. For me, it really has become not about the movie but about the underlying languages. But I secretly become attached to the movie, too. In the meantime I got a taste of many dead and living languages from the most diverse of language families, learned Latin, more German, and a bit of French to go with my Atlantean. I also finished my BS in Humanities, tried Anthro then Geological Engineering ("I'm gonna have to say '(for the) money' "-Vinnie from the movie, and rejected it in disgust), made a whole bunch of baby conlangs, and switched last Summer to a BA in Linguistics at some huge non-engineering university away from the Great White North and its Endless Woods. I arrived by then at wanting to devote my life to the study of 8 pictographic logo-phonetic writing systems and "their people", culture, and everything. The emmensely kind Dr. Grover Hudson, who took me under his wing and taught me [[Ge'ez]], directed me to choose one as a focus and then maybe some elements of it as a real focus. I'm chosing Shang-era Bronze and Oracle Bone Scripts, the oldest writing of the Chinese Family of Scripts. And (this time), not for the money. (It's just more linguo- and scripto- typologically exotic. And, unlike its contender in such matters, Mayan, writes on a diversity of topics and feeds into an extensive literature. And they still use it!!! Isn't that wild? SO, that's my life story. == Intended Activity on the Group == After copying the whole thing, I'll probably leave for a while. I have a bunch of conlangs that I should post. (LangMaker.Com, when will you return and give us rest?) Please contact me if you're intersted in pictogrpahic or logo- syllabo-phonetic writing systems like Ancient Egyptian, Mayan, or Luwian. Or you have some other project I could collaborate on, I really want to get involved in stuff with other people. Soon I'll be ordering ALL the stuff for Klingon and learning that. Despite some protests from the (now dying) group, I want to develop a suitable logo-phonetic system for the langauge as it exists in their Okrandian 1984 distopia (double play on words) and then use the (apparently VERY easy, no joke, well for me at least...French is torture after Latin...too easy...) learned language to communicate with them and create whatever art I want with it. Then it's on for more French, Mandarin, and Classical Chinese, etc., until I journey to the center of the Shang Scripts.

Ed. Tim Montgomery, 1996-2007. The Unofficial Disney Animation Archive. 13 Jan. 2007 < http://animationarchive.net/Feature%20Films/Atlantis-The%20Lost%20Empire/Production%20Notes/></ref>. The Atlantean language is therefore based both on historic reconstructions or realities as well as on the elaborate [[fantasy]]/[[science fiction]] of the Atlantis: The Lost Empire mythos. Here are the fictional bases upon which the Atlantean language was created: Atlantean is the “Tower of Babel language”, the “root dialect” from which all languages descended. It has existed without change since sometime before 100,000 B.C., within the First or Second Age of Atlantis until the present. This is when the Mother Crystal (''Matag Yob'') descended to Earth and brought enlightenment to the Atlantean people. It is preserved by the presence of the Mother Crystal in the same way that The Shepherd’s Journal, the City of Atlantis (''Wil Adlantisag''), the Atlantean people (''luden''), and especially its royalty (''yaseken'') are preserved, healed, and given extended blissful life <ref> Kurtti, Jeff. The Mythical World of Atlantis: Theories of the Lost Empire from Plato to Disney. New York: Disney Editions, 2001, 48-56, 88, 89.</ref>. To create this, Dr. Okrand took common characteristics of all world languages and applied them to the [[Proto-Indo-European]] language.

It is based on the oldest example of the Northern Semitic Abecedary as found in the [[Ugaritic language]]. (See [[Ugaritic alphabet]] and [[Middle Bronze age Alphabets]] : Egyptian Proto-types for discussion of these early abecendaries. It also draws in a minor way from the [[Hebrew Alphabet]](because of its s/sh distinction and notoriety) and other early alphabet orders.

The letters c, f, j, q, v, x, z, ch, or th have likewise been acknowledged by the filmmakers as not being used. They were created so that Atlantean might be used as a simple cipher code.

These characteristics are based by Okrand on ancient writing systems. The Atlantean Alphabet is written in normal [[boustrophedon]] writing order. It is written left to right for the first line, right to left the second, and left to right again the third, to continue the pattern. This order was also suggested by Okrand, based on ancient writing systems, and it was accepted because, as he explained, "It's a back-and-forth movement, like water, so that worked."<ref> Wloszczyna, Susan. “New movie trek for wordsmith.” USA Today Online. 24 May 2001. 12 Jan. 2007.<http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/2001-05-24-atlantis-lingo.htm></ref><ref>“Production Notes.” Atlantis-The Lost Empire.

If placed on its left side, its outer box is "the cave" and the inner lump is the "silhouette of the city", namely its central palace-ziggurat-pyramid-ceremonial center <ref> Murphy, Tab, Platon, David Reyolds, Gary Trousdale, Joss Whedon, Kirk Wise, Bryce Zabel, and Jackie Zabel. Atlantis the Lost Empire: The Illustrated Script [Abridged Version with Notes from the Filmmakers], 82.</ref>. |- | The somewhat unofficial exlanation, especially as one reads the various books associated with the movie, is that the A spiral is meant as a symbol of the [[New Age]] religions as well as the historic, late 19th - early 20th century archaeological and pyschological intellectual paradigms which are incorporated into [[Wicca]]. This implies a great deal of mythology which is played out in the movie. Hence, it is also a symbol for the [[Mother Goddess]] as characterized in the movie, the Mother Crystal, Heart of Atlantis (''Kerod Adlantisag''), the Power Source, or simply ''Ad'' <ref> Kurtti, Jeff.

This must in some way play into the Alphabet as both Leviathan, the Giants, and the Stone Fish exhibit characteristics of the literary golem. |- | B |- | Most resembles a Carthagian M, "water". Also resembles the Chinese Bronzeware Script BULL simplified logogram (as in Proto-Germanic *buhloon, bull [[Chinese bronze inscriptions]]. With this, note the original meaning of the first letter of the Latin Alphabet [[Middle Bronze Age alphabets]], 'ALP, ox and BET, house. Note how in A and B and M and U the letter meanings from the Semitic abjad have been switched. Possibly alternately based on a 500 BC Aramaic BET, unless Dr. Okrand, who is truely not to be underestimated, had his hand in it. I just don't suspect alphabet creator John Emerson of these sort of subtlties. |- | G |- | [[Elder Futhark]] GEEBO, gift and probably also from early versions of [[Phoenician alphabet]] TSAD, plant. |- | D |- | [[Proto-Canaanite]] DIGG, fish and [[Greek Alphabet]] DELTA. |- | E |- | Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] HILLUL, jubilation. An image of a man with his hands in the air as an exclamation of joy. |- | W |- | [[Early Cyrillic Alphabet]] JATI. Probably a [[Glagolitic alphabet]] cross-shaped AZ' ligatured with the [[Early Cyrillic Alphabet]] JERI: J + A. It also reminds me of how Archaic Sumerian, Egyptian Hieroglyphic, Archaic Chinese, Luwian Hieroglyphic, and most likely Indus Valley Script have characters for "mountain, hill" and related semantic meanings which resemble a mountain range of 3 triangles, usually side-by-side. See this image from an essay by the famous Indus dicipherist Dr. Parapola: http://www.harappa.com/script/parpola4.html Again, this may be sublty or coincidence. |- | H |- | This is a mix of [[Elder Futhark]] HAGALAZ, hail and Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] HASIR, court of a house. |- | I |- | Most resembles a Carthagian (a form of [[Phoenician alphabet]]) YODH, hand but also strikingly an [[Eye of Horus]]. |- | Y |- | Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] YAD, arm and a variant of certain hand-written forms of the I character (see Mural texts and Leviathan Slide text). |- | K |- | Mostly from a rare variant of [[Early Cyrillic Alphabet]] KAKO, from the Cursive Greek mixed with Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] KAPP, palm of hand and variations thereupon. |- | L |- | Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] LAMD, whip for an ox, possibly stylized so as to match S and K in the same way that W and E match. |- | M |- | Probably entire from the Late Hebrew Letter MEM, water. For additional relevant meanings and symbolism. It may have been chosen as the only clearly Hebrew letter because of the Hebrew-Old Irish based word "Makit" in the Atlantean language, which means King and is where our word Mc as in McDonald's comes from. See [[Mem]] and [[History of the Hebrew Alphabet]] and [[Sefer Yetzirah]] 'Structure' and 'Phonetic System'. As a scholar I am embarrassed to also point you toward this website for a reliable chart (but everything else is ignorance) : [http://ancient-hebrew.org/14_ahrcfonts.html] . I think it also resembles the Egyptian uniliteral glyph for M, owl, but that's a strech I admit. |- | U |- | Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] MU, water, mixed with [[Elder Futhark]] URUZ, aurochs, an extinct type of wild bull. |- | N |- | Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] NAHASH, snake. |- | N |- | Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] NAHASH, snake. |- | O |- | [[Elder Futhark]] OZTHILA, hereditary land, possession. Actually, it is far more close to a certain European local variant on O. There's this hand-out from a conference last year on historical linguistics that I have that lines them all up next to each other and made picking out the one closest to Atlantean possible. But it's not with me right now. Anyway, you look, you'll find it. It's something on the order of 'Alpine Runes'. |- | P |- | This is a mix of [[Elder Futhark]] PERZTH, pear tree and Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] PU, mouth, especially Proto-Canaanite variants incorporated into the character's back curving. |- | R |- | This is a mix of [[Elder Futhark]] RAIDO, ride and Wadi El-Hol [[Middle Age Bronze Scripts]] / [[Proto-Canaanite]] RA'ISH, head and possibly something else. |- | S |- | This very closely resembles the Chinese Oracle Bone (Jia3 Gu3 Wen2) *WUHN, cloud which became the modern character yun2. See the chart at this site [http://www.ancientscripts.com/chinese.html] |- | SH |- | It most resembles be3 in the portion of the Chinese-derived Naxi Geba Syllabary presented here: [http://www.omniglot.com/writing/naxi.htm#geba]. It also resembles the Chinese AN1, woman under roof, peace or JIA1, pig under roof, house, household.

It may represent the voiced th sound and so have something to do with the Old South Arabian [d], door. Maybe the other part of the ligature represents an alverolar consonant. Maybe it's the [[Anglo-Saxon]] rune Thorn, also a development of DALETH. Together they closely resemble in shape and sound the [[Phoenician alphabet]] letter T'ETH, wheel, which came from T'AB, good, and became the Greek THETA. |- | CH |- | It's not really certain. It somewhat resembles an OMEGA, a development of 'AYIN, eye. |} ====Atlantean numerals and numbers: uses and sources==== ======Atlantean numeral system====== Joe Emerson, Marc Okrand, and the filmmakers also created numerals for 0-9. They are stacked horizontally, however, and hold place values of 1, 20, and 400. Their components are based on [[Mayan numerals]] and internally composed for the font (example above) like [[Roman numerals]].

Its nouns are highly inflected and its verbs are highly agglutinated. However, it also has a lot of free-morpheme adverbs, adjectives, postpositions and other grammatical particles.<ref>“Production Notes.” Atlantis-The Lost Empire. Ed. Tim Montgomery, 1996-2007.

Most vowels have two prominent [[allophone|allophonic]] realizations, depending on whether it occurs in a stressed or unstressed syllable. Vowels in stressed syllables tend to be [[tenseness|tense]], and likewise unstressed ones tend to be more lax. Thus, for example, {{IPA|/i/}} is realized as [[close front unrounded vowel|{{IPA|[i]}}]] or [[near-close near-front unrounded vowel|{{IPA|[ɪ]}}]] in stressed and unstressed syllables, respectively. Likewise, {{IPA|/e/}} is realized as [[close-mid front unrounded vowel|{{IPA|[e]}}]] or [[open-mid front unrounded vowel|{{IPA|[ɛ]}}]], and so on. ({{IPA|/ɑ/}} fits into this pattern as [[open back unrounded vowel|{{IPA|[ɑ]}}]] or [[open-mid back unrounded vowel|{{IPA|[ʌ]}}]].) There are three diphthongs. {{IPA|[oj]}} only occurs in one word in a dubious part of a source so it may not be Atlantean. The other two are rather rare in the language on the whole. =====Consonants===== {| class="wikitable" |+ '''[[help:pronunciation|IPA]] chart of Atlantean consonants''' |- <!-- Heading row --> | |[[Bilabial consonant|Bilabial]] |[[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] |[[Alveolo-palatal consonant|(Alveolo-)]]<br/>[[Palatal consonant|palatal]] |[[Velar consonant|Velar]] |[[Labial-velar consonant|Labiovelar]] |- align="center" <!-- Stops --> | [[Plosive]]s | {{IPA|p &nbsp; b}} | {{IPA|t &nbsp; d}} | | {{IPA|k &nbsp; g}} | |- align="center" | [[Nasal]]s | {{IPA|m}} | {{IPA|n}} | | | |- align="center" | [[Fricative]]s | | {{IPA|s}} | {{IPA|ʃ}} {{footnote|1}} | {{IPA|x}} {{footnote|2}} | |- align="center" | [[Approximant]]s | | {{IPA|l}} | {{IPA|j}} {{footnote|3}} | | {{IPA|w}} |- | [[Trill]] | | align="center"|{{IPA|r}} | | | |} Where symbols occur in pairs, the left represents the [[voiceless consonant]] and the right represents the [[voiced consonant]].

There is never any deviation from the pattern. Adjectives and Genitive Nouns go after the nouns which they modify, post-positions go after the nouns or clauses which they modify, and modals go after the verbs which they modify and subsequently take all agglutinative suffixes. However, adverbs go before their verbs. Last of all are the interogative particles.<ref>“Production Notes.” Atlantis-The Lost Empire. Ed. Tim Montgomery, 1996-2007.

"Animal Life" There are words for the bizaare animal life around Atlantis, creatures that resemble: ostriches (wemoten), purple lobsters (tuyeben), parrot lizards (yeragosen), lava whales(ketaken obesag), and multiple-eyed purple tigers (bahodmoken). There are about as many names for normal animal life as well, mostly sea creatures on account of their vehicles being fashioned in their shapes. "Politics and Religion" There are words for a few elements of the Atlantean political system: city (wil), king (makit), Your Highness (taneb), royalty/judges (yaseken), marker (keran), law (tamar), orderly (laridin), command (kobden), and foreigner (duwer). There are words for religious and mythological concepts, given in : to defile (karoke), to forgive (lewide), to worship (yadluge), (the old religion: ) Mother Crystal or The Heart of Atlantis (Kerod Adlantisag; tok, it), Yob (Crystal), Peace (Weshekmol), Giants (gonosen), (the decadent religion: ) Lightning/ Odin/ Leviathan the Last of the Mighty War God(desses) (Lot.an, literally "light.ning"; tuh, she), (Pre-1914 religon: ) The Great Flood (Mebelmok) and Nishen (Spirits). "Adventure Words" There are words for travel and discovery, such as to be located (tikude), to see (gamose), to discover (komtibe), path (ben), cave (tinemoshep), enclosed (digenmil), lair (pred), to continue (tenite), and to get somewhere (kwetipe) Given the epic scale of the movie, there's a few words related to serious matters: to kill (gwenoge), to doom (hobde), to be finished (yodene), and to destroy (megide). "Everyday Life" There are also quite a few "normal" words, like to be (ese), in (net), on (meg/med), through (pak), and an assortment of modal verbs like to be able (boge). There is no word for "to have". There is a very full set of measurements and numbers 1-10 with hints at formations for 20 and 30. However, the majority of the verbs and words seem to be of an everyday nature: to travel along (satib), to come (mase), to walk (galeme), to rush (nuroshe), contrivance (neshingos), marketplace (weser), to cost (mohede), to listen (epkele), to think (kapere), to speak (bashebe), to understand (doyine), tree (denet), person (lud), time (nal/darim/konos), to worship (yadluge), entrance (mannal), chamber (keylob), shelter (tegul), and joyfully (gawidin). "Family and Anatomy" There are also a few basic kinship terms, namely father (tab), mother (mat), to be well (mat), and child (alish). "Mother" takes a special kinship vocative suffix: -tim, though "father" takes the usual -top. There are actually no words for man or woman. Here's the short list of mostly human body parts: eye (okwep), heart (kerod), hand (shayod), arm (gobeg), tail (wibak). "Mystery Words" Half of the words have not been diciphered and probably relate to either the history or location of Atlantis as they occur in "The Shepherd's Journal". "The Shepherd's Journal", in reality, amounts to about 2 or 3 pages of actual text and 7 pages of dummy text which repeats fragments of the actual parts. The vocabulary exhibits a limited yet well-balanced character. ==History of decipherment efforts== {{Unreferenced section|date=July 2008}} ===Overview=== From Internet documentation, about 150 amateur linguists working since 2001 have contributed thus far to the on-going dicipherment and codification of the Atlantean Language. ===Initial Events=== Earliest records show the efforts of Paul Sherrill in reaching out to the international linguistic community for help in about March 2001.{{Fact|date=July 2008}} He later founded a site with his dicipherments on it, "Luden Shadlag", meant to mean "The Fifth City"; along with a Yahoo Tech Group, The Atlantean Language Group. All of this was in June of the same year. About then The Atlantean Linguists Guild was founded as a message board of unknown location. In September of 2001, Jefferey Henning posted a series of webpages devoted to the Atlantean language on his then-young LangMaker.Com. ===Middle Events=== Luden Shadlag was later deleted by its hosting site, as was The Atlantean Linguists Guild. However, The Atlantean Language Group remains online. Sometime in 2004, an "Aaron" began a second website devoted to the language, The Mother Tongue. This website is still up, though hard-to-find, perhaps due to a lack of internet search keywords. ===Recent Events=== In late 2006, Cindy Morris chose the Atlantean Language as the subject of a school project and made significant, published contributions. A little later in the year, Lawrence Rogers joined the dicipherment effort. He eventually produced a 100-page book in rough draft, "[[Atlantean Grammar]]", available for free in The Atlantean Language Group Library. The following spring he began free lessons on the language at The Group and the message board Kidagakash Fans Unite. To date, he has personally taught the language to about 12 people internationally. On March 9, 2007 he started "[[The Atlantean Language Institute]]" as a Facebook group. Paul Sherrill returned briefly to the Atlantean language on June 21, 2007, to work briefly on this article and correspond with Lawrence Rogers. Paul Sherrill made him moderator of [[The Atlantean Language Group]] on June 22nd. On July 22, 2007 Rogers started the website for [[The Atlantean Language Institute]], http://www.atlanteanlanguageinstitute.info/ . He has contacted Disney three times for permission to use their property with no response. Around March 2008 he discontinued the expensive sit to focus efforts on the free Atlantean Language Group. It has seen a steady increase in membership from all over the world and the addition of one other fluent Atlantean writer. He is currently in the process of: 1) Sufficiently documenting all Atlantean and putting it into a single document in Readers Script 2) Diciphering words without a given English translation from "The Shepherd's Journal" and the movie's "Mural Texts" while confirming the definitions of and creating etymologies for words in sources such as "The Illustrated Script" which have given English translations and therefore diciphered definitions. Currently there is a rough estimate of 2, 000 or more people vaguely interested in the language, about 200 people in the Atlantean language group, and 2 fluent speakers. ==Continued Use== ===The Atlantean Language Group=== During its history, The Atlantean Language Group has recorded a number of breakthroughs in dicipherment, including the grammatical case system, its suffixes, the verb tense suffixes, the verb subject suffixes, phonetics, and miscellaneous word translations. It has also been a source of contribution to the naming of sources containing either the real Okrand language or imitations of it. It is considered the hub and nexis of the Atlantean dicipherment effort. Membership is free to the public. Major contributors include Paul Sherrill, Shahnahkehm, Rebmakash, Atlantima, Gaerielleenay, Dennis Falk, and Lawrence Rogers. ===Written works on Atlantean=== {{Unreferenced section|date=July 2008}} Marc Okrand's word list of uncertain length (possibly 700-1000 words) is unavailable to the public, as is the final script of ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''. Paul Sherrill's website is lost, as are his notes. It included a grammar, dictionary, and corpus. Atlantima wrote a dictionary which survives at The Group. Delayra wrote a short grammar and dictionary, which she still owns and has distributed. Cindy Morris likewise wrote a grammar and dictionary, as did Lawrence Rogers. His work encompases the non-fictional history of the language and its dicipherment, among other things. It includeds as appendices the works of Delayra, Cindy Morris, and Atlantima, with scraps that remain from Luden Shadlag. "Atlantean Grammar" also contains an unabridged Atlantean-English dictionary with dicipherment notes, a simplified Atlantean-English dictionary, a likewise short English-Atlantean dictionary, and an oriental English-Atlantean dictionary, being arranged topologically. ===Developments of Atlantean=== Given that Atlantean contains about 337 known words, 180 of which have been assigned a tentative diciphered meaning, it is limited in what can be said with it. Attempts at expanding the language for wider use are as old as the public release of the movie. One of the major documentations of these is Atlantima's dictionary. Since January 2007, Rogers has been creating a development of the language called "New Atlantean". It forms neologisms completely through the re-use of existing words, adding new meanings to canonical words and forming compounds. New grammatical structures are formed with reference to the historic material used by Okrand. An example is "shom", canonically "wave", for "water" and "shomag tegul", "water shelter" for "umbrella", based on the Genitive Compound Function present once in canon in "kudobirag demug", "inscription pad". Since Fall 2007, Rogers also began a "Historical Atlantean", which uses increasing reverse-engineered knowledge of Okrand's creative process to create neologisms, idioms, and grammatical structures for Atlantean. An example is "akwad" for "water", from the [[PIE]] root "wed-", "water", the Latin "aqua", "water", and the Hittite "watar". Another example is "sipakenos" for "spider", based on the Greek "arakhne" and the Old English "*spinthron". However, allegedly because of the effort it takes to make up a new word using this system, he states plans of focusing his efforts on New Atlantean. ==Further Reading and Sources Cited== ===Sources of Okrand's Atlantean Language=== Because Atlantean was created by one person over a period of 5 years or less, all that exists of it can be dated to those five years. This is like all ancient written languages, which were written during a specific time and then either became a [[daughter language]] or died out. Hence, modern scientists must use [[corpus linguistics]] to study ancient languages. The earliest and most famous case of this in the West was 17th century cataloging of [[Latin]] inscriptions. In this process, all known sources are documented and reproduced so that other scholars may view them. This is especially important in the dicipherment of languages. In the modern day, corpus linguistics also refers to the method of language documentation whereby the collector elicits and audio-/video-records speach by a native speaker in the studied language. The linguist then has the recordings transcribed and analyzes them. Atlantean also has a list of media in which it is found. Without knowing where the language is documented, this article loses its most key citations. There are two primary divisions of these key sources: 1) Atlantean found in the movie.<br /> 2) Atlantean found in other sources. {| class="wikitable" |+ '''Published Sources of Primary Importance''' |- !

Yaenar 5470 34899 2008-08-04T18:47:48Z Maailmaniag 263 /* Present Tense */ Yaenar (<i>Yaenar</i> /jei.naʁ/, from Latin <i>Gēinar</i>, the name the Yaenar people gave to themselves) is a Romlang (that is, a constructed language derived from Latin). ==From Latin to Yaenar== Yaenar is quite divergent in comparison to Latin, but in many instances, spelling was fossilized, preserving spelling while diverging in sound. <br> ===Sound Changes=== C = consonant, but when used in the case of eg. eCF, this means a consonant that was deleted that was between e and a front vowel.<br> V = vowel<br> B = back vowel<br> F = front vowel<br> 0 = deleted<br> ` = retroflex consonant<br> <br> <br> h > 0<br> i u > j w / _V<br> i: u: > i u / _V<br> s > z_a / V_V<br> s ks > s_a<br> sk sj > ɕ<br> V: > V / _V<br> <br> aCB > ɑo<br> aCF > ei<br> FCa, FCa: > eə<br> FCo, FCo:, FCu: > øy<br> eCu > o:<br> eCF > ei<br> iCF > øi<br> iCu > ɨu<br> oCF > i:<br> oCB > u:<br> uCF > o<br> uCB > ou<br> <br> a a: > a<br> e e: > ɨ e<br> i i: > ɪ i<br> o o: > ɔ ø<br> u u: > o u<br> ai oi > ɛ ɔe<br> <br> j > z_a<br> i u > j w / _V<br> gn, nj > ɲ<br> gm mj > mʲ<br> gl lj > j<br> tj > tɕ<br> <br> k g > tɕ ʑ / _F<br> kw gw > k g<br> rC > C` / C=(t,d,l)<br> r > ʁ<br> m s_a n t d > 0 / _# (specifically in that order)<br> u > y <br> ou > u<br> ɪ ɛ ɔ > 0 / #_(multisyllable words only)<br> e ɛ i ɪ y ø > ɛ a e ɨ u ɔ / _...(a,ɨ)#<br> a o ɔ u ɨ > ɛ a ɛ y ɪ / _...(i I)#<br> a ɨ i ɪ > 0 / _# (multisyllable words only)<br> <br> b d g > v ð 0 / V_V<br> p t k > b d g / V_V<br> pp tt kk > p t k / V_V<br> CC > C<br> ʑ > j<br> ʈ ɖ ɭ > tɕ ʑ ɬ<br> ø > u<br> ɨ > ɛ<br> tɕ > ɕ<br> w > v<br> o u > 0 / _# (multisyllable words only)<br> <br> e ɛ ɔ > ie iɛ uɔ / open, stressed syllables<br> C1C2C3 > C1C3<br> <br> ===Grammar Changes=== As with most Romance languages (if not all), Yaenar lost the rich inflectional system that was found in Latin:<br> -the accusative and ablative cases merged quite early<br> -the 4th and 5th declensions were replaced with the 2nd and 1st (respectively) declensions<br> -the dative case was replaced with the construction: <b>a</b> + accusative<br> -the genitive case was replaced with the construction: <b>de</b> + accusative<br> -plurals, like in Western Romance, were taken from the accusative. However, due to sound changes, many of the plural forms of words sound identical to their respective singular forms, and therefore, articles are REQUIRED.<br> -articles were derived from the forms of <b>ūnus</b> (<i>a</i>) and <b>ille</b> (<i>the</i>)<br> -nearly all the original Latin tenses and moods were lost, in favor of the following constructions: the imperfect was replaced with <i>present tense + habēre in the perfect</i>, the future was replaced with <i>infitive + īre in the present</i>, the conditional was formed with <i>infitive + īre in the perfect</i>, the perfect constructions were replaced with <i>habēre + perfect participle</i>, and the passive was replaced with <i>esse + perfect participle</i>. Of these, all but the last two became fused to the verb and became endings. <br> ==Phonology== ===Phonemes=== ====Consonants==== Yaenar has 21 consonant phonemes, as follows:<br> <br> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiodent. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Uvular |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || m || mʲ || || || || || || n || || || || || || ɲ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || p || b || || || || || t || d || || || k || g || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || f || v || || ð || s_a || z_a || ɕ || ʑ || || || || || ʁ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximant || || || || || || || || || || || || || || j || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Fricative || || || || || || || || ɬ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || l || |} </div> ====Vowels==== Yaenar has 9 vowel phonemes, plus 7 diphthongs (not counting [ie iɛ uɔ] which are considered to be allophones of /e ɛ ɔ/ by most authorities of the language).<br> <br> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close || i || y || || || || u || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-Close || ɪ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close-Mid || e || || || || || o || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open-Mid || ɛ || || || || || ɔ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open || a || |} <br> While /a/ is in fact, in the chart corresponding to "Front" vowels, in the rest of the phonology, it is not treated as such. The front vowels are /i y ɪ e ø/, and the rest (/u o ɔ a/) are back vowels.<br> <br> =====Diphthongs===== As has been mentioned, there are 7 (phonemic) diphthongs in the Yaenar language, as follows:<br> /ɑo ei eə ɨu ɔe øi øy/<br> <br> There are also several phonetic diphthongs as well in the standard language (not counting dialects). These are:<br> [ie iɛ uɔ], considered to be allophones of /e ɛ ɔ/ in stressed, open syllables<br>. <br> ===Orthography=== The orthography of Yaenar is more etymological than phonemic; however, in most cases, spelling and pronunciation are quite easy to exchange (i.e. it is not too difficult to figure out spelling from pronunciation, and vice versa). <br> <br> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiodent. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Uvular |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || m || mj || || || || || || n || || || || || || nj || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || p || b || || || || || t || d || || || c,qu,q || g,gu || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || f || v || || dh || s || z,j || c,rt,ti,sc || rd || || || || || r || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximant || || || || || || || || || || || || || || y,lj,i,g || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Fricative || || || || || || || || ll || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || l || |} </div> <br> The main problems that arise from spelling and pronunciation are those boxes above that list more than one spelling for only one phoneme.<br> -m,mj,n,nj are very straight-forward, always pronounced as written<br> -p,b,t,d are also quite straight-forward<br> -/k/ is spelled as c when before a back vowel, qu when before a front vowel, and q at the end of a word that was derived from Latin -qui, -quī, -qua, or -que (otherwise, at the end of the word, it is spelled c)<br> -/g/ follows the same rules as /k/ for spelling, although g is always used word-finally (there is no seperate character for it)<br> -f,v,dh,s,rd,r are straight-forward<br> -/z_a/ has two possible spellings: it is spelled as z when derived from the sound change s > z / V_V, but spelled as j when derived from the sound change j > z. Therefore, you will almost never see a z written at the beginning or end of a word (with the exception of words where s was intervocalic during this sound change, but then the first vowel or final vowel was deleted)<br> -/ɕ/ also has multiple spellings, also mostly etymological: it is spelled as c strictly before front vowels, sc when derived from Latin sc or si, ti when derived from Latin ti, and rt when derived from Latin rt<br> -l and ll are straight-forward<br> -Like /z_a/ and /ɕ/, /j/ has several etymological spellings: lj when derived from Latin li or gl, i when derived from Latin ī before a vowel, and y when derived from the first Yaenar ʑ (i.e g before front vowels).<br> <br> Thankfully, the vowel orthography is much more straight-forward than the consonant orthography, but there are still some hard points in spelling as well.<br> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close || í || u,û || || || || ou,ó || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-Close || i || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close-Mid || é || || || || || u || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open-Mid || e,ai || || || || || o || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open || a,á || |} <br> The diphthongs are spelled as follows:<br> /ɑo ei eə ɨu ɔe øi øy/ au,á ae ea iu oi ie eu<br> <br> The allophonic diphthongs are spelled exactly as they sound: i/u + é e/ai o<br> <br> Of course, there are some letters or combinations that have two different pronunciations, and some pronunciations have multiple ways of being written.<br> -í,û,ou,é,e,ai,o,a,au,ae,ea,iu,oi,eu,ié,uo,iai are all straight-forward<br> -The rest are the main problems. While it is not always predictable, there are some clues to give the correct pronunciation or spelling:<br> -á as /a/ is extremely rare, and usually only to distinguish homophones. Chances are, if you see á and it's not a very short word, it will be /ɑo/<br> -ie will only be /iɛ/ in stressed open syllables. While it is still possible for /øi/ to be in a stressed open syllable, it is the only time ie will be found in a non-stressed syllable, or a stressed closed syllable (i.e. the syllabe ends in a consonant)<br> -The other will simply have to be learned, and even occasionally give native Yaenar speakers trouble (in much the same way that English orthography can give native English speakers trouble).<br> <br> ===Ablaut=== There is an ablaut system in Yaenar, as displayed through the sound changes:<br> <br> e ɛ i ɪ y ø > ɛ a e ɨ u ɔ / _...(a,ɨ)#<br> a o ɔ u ɨ > ɛ a ɛ y ɪ / _...(i I)#<br> a ɨ i ɪ > 0 / _# (multisyllable words only)<br> <br> As can be seen, both a type of a-mutation and i-mutation exist. In the morphology section, the a-mutation is marked as -ª, and the i-mutation is marked as -ˡ.<br> In terms of spelling and pronuncation, here is how the system works:<br> {| ||Radical||a-mutation||i-mutation|| |- ||'''a,á'''|| a || ai || |- ||'''ai'''|| a || ai || |- ||'''e'''|| e || i || |- ||'''é'''|| e || é || |- ||'''i'''|| e || i || |- ||'''í'''|| é || í || |- ||'''o'''|| o || ai,e || |- ||'''u'''|| u || a || |- ||'''ou'''|| ou || û || |- ||'''ó'''|| o || ó || |- ||'''u,û'''|| ou || u,û || |} <br> Diphthongs were not affected by this ablaut. ==Verbal Morphology== Yaenar's verbal morphology is the most intricate aspect of the language. Stemming from Latin's 4 different types of infinitives, Yaenar also has 4 different infinitive stems: -ar, -ér, -er, and -ír (respectively, -āre, -ēre, -ere, and -īre). Much of the conjugation of each verb paradigm begins with the root of the verb, which in most cases can be discovered by removing the -ar, -ér, -er, or -ír ending.<br> <br> ===Present Tense=== The present tense is the most basic tense in Yaenar, and is the only one still in everyday use that directly derives from the corresponding Latin tense, as well (The Yaenar Simple Past tense derives directly from the Latin pluperfect, but is not much in use today). The endings are as follows:<br> {| || '''-ar''' || Singular || Plural || || || '''amar''' || (to love, like) || || || '''avidar''' || (to live, reside) |- ||1st person || - || -am || || || am || amam || || || avid || avidam |- ||2nd person || -ª || -ˡait || || || am || aimait || || || avet || aivedait |- ||3rd person || -ª || -an || || || am || aman || || || avet || avidan |} <br> {| || '''-ér''' || Singular || Plural || || || '''vidhér''' || (to see) || || || '''placér''' || (to please) |- ||1st person || -eo || -ém || || || vidheo || vidhém || || || placeo || placém |- ||2nd person || -é || -ˡét || || || vidhé || vidhét || || || placé || plaicét |- ||3rd person || -ª || -en || || || ved || vidhen || || || plasc || placen |} <br> {| || '''-er''' || Singular || Plural || || || '''miter''' || (to send) || || || '''conjoscer''' || (to know a person) |- ||1st person || - || -im || || || mit || mitim || || || conjosc || conjoscim |- ||2nd person || -ˡ || -ˡit || || || mit || mitit || || || cainjaisc || cainjaiscit |- ||3rd person || -ˡ || -un || || || mit || mitun || || || cainjaisc || conjoscun |} <br> In this paradigm, -un is pronounced /on/<br> <br> {| || '''-ír''' || Singular || Plural || || || '''venír''' || (to come) || || || '''dormír''' || (to sleep) |- ||1st person || -j || -ím || || || venj || vením || || || dormj || dormím |- ||2nd person || -ˡ || -ˡít || || || vin || vinít || || || derm || dermít |- ||3rd person || -ˡ || -jun || || || vin || vienjun || || || derm || dormjun |} <br> Similarly, in this paradigm, -jun is pronounced /zon/ (but njun, mjun, and ljun are all special cases, pronounced /ɲon/, /mʲon/, and /jon/).<br> <br> The present tense is mainly used to describe actions that are presently happening. The present tense may also be used to describe continuous actions that have happened in the past and still happen currently (much like the English progressive, <i>I am studying</i>, Yaenar <i>Eu (esc) studheo</i>), and in this context can often be used with a particle, '''esc''' (cf. Latin <i>etiam</i>), used right before the conjugated verb.<br> In rarer instances, the present tense can be used to describe future events, especially if the future context was set prior in the conversation or is implied, with words such as '''deman''', <i>tomorrow</i> Kalirian 5471 34766 2008-08-02T01:34:06Z Secret vice 1234 '''Kalirian''' User talk:Secret vice 5472 46304 2009-06-23T01:59:52Z Secret vice 1234 I've decided to deleat all my pages on this wiki.

To avoid confusion each of the symbols and their functions have been listed in the table below: * Capital letters -indicate nouns. * . (full stop) -this symbol is placed at the end of sentences. * ' (commar) -this symbol illustrates a pause in between two phonemes. * - (dash) -this symbol is often used among compound words such as in the English compound, tree-house. == Articles and Grammatical Gender== In Kâlirian grammatical gender is to definate articles (such as in the English ''the''). Gender is therefor indicated by the articles. The assigning of gender is fairly straight forward. The masculine gender is typically used if the noun subject is masculine. In addition to this the masculine gender may also be used as a default or may be givven to a specific sub group of nouns which include the names of days, months, and numbers. Similarly the feminine gender is used if the noun subject is feminine. The feminine gender may also be used when nouns are related in some way to nature. This means that nouns such as the names of animals, plants, trees, and even the different types of dirt and rocks will also be given a feminine gender. '''indefinate articles:''' {| border="1" |- ! du || a |- ! sev || an |- |} '''definate articles:''' {| border="1" ! !! Masculine !! Feminine !! |- ! Nominative | kejad || kajad |- ! Accusative |gejad |gajad |- ! Genetive |bejad |bajad |- |} == Number == In Kâlirian there are three grammatical numbers, they are: singular, dual, and plural. Singular nouns indicate a noun that is by itself such as in the English word "book." Dual nouns indicate a pair of nouns, which is similar to the English word "books," except that in Kâlirian the dual marking is used exclusively to indicate two nouns whilst in English the same infliction 's or es may also indicate any number of nouns. In Kâlirian plurals indicate groups of nouns that consist of more than two in number. == Stress == Stress refers to the relative emphasis that may be given to certain syllables in a word. In Kâlirian stress typically occures among the last vowel or consonant within a word. Some examples in Kâlirian are: *segarhf'''a''' (bad) *tarne'''q''' (those) *fega'''d''' (dry) == Germination == Germination occures in words that contrast to eachother by the deliberate lengthening of a consonant in a word. In Kâlirian germination is used quite regularly and can often appear in words that relate to eachother, but this function is often evident even in words that have, or appear to have no relation towards eachother. In particular germination typically occures among duals and plurals. Germination generally occures on the first consonant that follows the first vowel as in duals; and on the the last or second-befor-last consonant in a word as in plurals. Plurals are also marked by the vowel "a" which is placed at the end of the word to prevent confusing plurals with stress in speech. Some examples have been provided below. {| border="1" ! Singular !! Duel !! Plural |- | Hanarge (bird) || Ha'''nn'''arg (birds) || Hana'''rr'''ga (birds) |- |Gesalev (street) |Ge'''ss'''alev (streets) |Gesa'''ll'''eva (streets) |- |Velaq (forrest) |Ve'''ll'''aq (forests) |Vela'''qq'''a (forests) |- |} == Nouns == A noun decribes a person, place, or thing. For example in the sentence, the "'''cat'''" sat on the "'''mat'''", the words "cat" and "mat" are both nouns. Nouns may decline to represent various forms of grammatical case. The case of a noun indicates the grammatical function of a particular sentence. In Kâlirian there are eight noun cases. The cases include the nominative, accusative, dative, ablative, genitive, vocative, locative, and the instrumental case. == Pronouns == Pronouns are used as substitues for propper or common nouns. In Kâlirian there are three types of pronouns. The pronouns include: singular, dual, and plural. In Kâlirian the same pronoun is used for both male and female, such as in the pronouns him/ she and he/ her. It's also possible to specify who is included in pronouns 'we,' and 'us.' Plurals and duals are destinguished by germination. The germination rule in pronouns is the same as it is in nouns. In plurals the germination takes place on the consonant that proceeds the first vowel, and in duals the germination takes place on the last or second last consonant. In addition to germination, pronouns can be destinguished by the following added markings: /ag/ or /g/ -suffix (to be included), /an/ or /n/ -suffix (to be excluded) and the vowel /a/ -suffix (added to prevent a germinated word from being confused with stress in speech). '''Singular pronouns:''' {| border="1" ! !! Singular !! English |- | '''1st person || vedag || I |- | '''2nd person''' |kaj |you |- | '''3rd person''' |gurv |him/ her |- |} '''Plural and dual pronouns:''' {| border="1" ! !! Plural !! Dual !!

In Kâlirian a verb consists of tense, aspect, mood, and voice. '''Tense:''' There are three tenses in Kâlirian. They are past, present, and future tense. The past refers to something that has already happened, such as in the sentence, "I have walked the dog." The present refers to something that is currently happening, such as in the sentence, "I am walking the dog." The future refers to something that will happen in the far future, such as in the sentence, "I will walk the dog soon." '''Aspect:''' The Aspect indicates the level of completness of a particular event. The present simple indicates an action that is currently occuring such as in the sentence, "I eat." The present simple is left unmarked. The present progressive indicates an action an incomplete action that is currently occuring, such as in the sentence, "I am eating." The preset progressive is marked with the suffix /av/. The present perfict indicates a complete action, such as in the sentence, "I have eaten." The present perfict is marked with the suffix /ov/. The past simple indicates an action that took place in the past, such as the senetence, "I ate." The past simple is left unmarked. The past progressive indicates an a completed action that took place in the past, such as the sentence, "I was eating." The past progressive is marked with the suffix /ra/. The past perfict indicates a completed action that took place before another action, such as in the sentence, "I had eaten." The past perfict is marked by the suffix /as/. == Evidentiality == The Dwarves are talented when it comes to lying to others. This is often achieved by twisting the truth in a way that appears as if they are actually telling the truth. However, the Dwarves often find that it's harder to lie to other dwarves. This is because of Evidentiality. Evidentiality makes it possible to determine how correct or incorrect a statement is. Different sentence markers are used at the beginning of various statements. The main sentence markers include: * fah -it's true. * vir -it's possible that it's true. * es -it's not true. * enar -it's probably not true but that is what people believe anyway. * de -I don't know if it's true or not.

In total there are approximately 34 phonemes. The phonemes consist of 9 vowels and 26 consonants. The alphabet system is slightly different in Kalirian compared to the system that is used in English. For instance in Kalirian capital letters indicate allophones among consonants. This is useful because unlike in English where phonemes can change based on where they appear in a word this happens rarely in Kalirian as words are written almost exactly as they’re pronounced. Kalirian also uses diacritics such as the circumference ^ which indicates short vowels â, ê, and û, from their equivalent long vowels a, e, and u, which are left un-marked. Pronunciation: â- pronounced the same as in the English a sound in the word bad. a- pronounced the same as in the English a sound in the word bra. b- labial-stop; pronounced almost like the English b except that it should be pronounced slower and with the lips slightly more protruded. c- dental-fricative; the tip of the tongue should be pressed up against the back teeth. The teeth should be jarred shut and it is important that the tongue remains flat and maintains in that position as the sound is made. d- retroflex-stop; the tip and the near top end part of the tongue is pressed up against the ceiling of the mouth in the section just behind the hard palate. The tongue should remain in direct contact with the ceiling of the mouth throughout the entire pronunciation of the sound. ê- pronounced the same as e sound in the word bed. e- pronounced the same as in the ea sound in the word bead. f- labial-stop; pronounced the same as in the English f in the word fan. g- dental-fricative; the tip of the tongue should momentarily touch the gun just behind the top row of teeth. There should be a small gap between the two rows of teeth. It is important not to jar the teeth because then /g/ would sound identical to the letter /c/. G- retroflex-fricative; the tip of the tongue is curled backwards so that the underside touches the border of the hard palate. As in the letter /d/ the tongue should remain in direct with the ceiling of the mouth throughout the entire pronunciation of the sound. h- velar-fricative; this sound should be produced as far back in the mouth as possible. It should sound almost like you are gargling- and should sound nothing like the English /h/. H- retroflex- the tip of the tongue is curled over so that the underside is touches the border of the hard palate. The tongue should remain in this position. This should give the letter more of a soft sound as compared to some other retroflexes. i- pronounced the same as in the I sound in the word bid. j- retroflex-stop; the tip and the near-end part of the tongue is pressed up against the back of the hard palate. The tongue should remain in that position. k- alveolar-fricative; the tip of the tongue is curled in almost like a retroflex position but is instead brought to the hard palate just behind the section near the gum. This should give it a harsh sound. l- alveolar-fricative (dark l); pronounced almost the same as in the English l in the word milk except that it should have more of a harsh sound to it. m- labial-fricative; pronounced the same as in the English m, except that the lips should be protruded in the same way as in the letter /b/. n- pronounced the same as in the English n in the word nun. N- dental-nasal; pronounced the same as in the English n in the words nose or any. o- pronounced the same as in the word box. p- labial-approximant; pronounced the same as in the English p in the word spin. q- uvular-fricative, this sound should be made as far back in your mouth as possible with the back of your tongue actually touching your uvular (the fleshy blob that hangs down over your throat.) Q- velar-stop; this sound should sound exactly like the English k in the word skip. r- alveolar-approximant; pronounced exactly like the English r in the word write. R- uvular- approximant; pronounced the same as in the French r in the word Paris. s- alveolar-fricative; pronounced the same as in the English s in the sun instead it should be pronounced slower. This should make it sound almost like a hiss. t- alveolar-fricative; the tip and the near-end part of the tongue should be curled over in almost like a retroflex position as in the letter /k/ but instead it should be pressed up against the hard palate a bit further back from the English t. û- pronounced the same as the u sound in the word bud. u- pronounced the same as in the u sound in the word rune. v- labial-dental-fricative; pronounced the same as in the English v in the word van. w- labial-approximant; pronounced the same as in the English w in the word water. x- dental-fricative; the tip of the tongue should be pressed against the gum and the back row of the teeth. The teeth should be jarred shut and the tongue should remain in that position. y- pronounced the same as in the y sound in the word why. z- alveolar-palatal-affricate; pronounced the same as in the English z in the word zeal.

Adjectively, the residents term themselves '''Germanglians''' or '''Germish''', though the term Germish is not exclusive to them (''it's a common term synonymous with expressions such as '''Denglisch, Deutschish, Gerglish''' or '''Angleutsch''', descibing the phenomenon of English words, grammar and idioms inflecting the [http://german.about.com German] language''). However, the major difference here is that Germanglian has an actual syntactical standard, both written and spoken. The language is richly inflected with both German and [http://www.learnenglish.org.uk English] grammar and vocabulary, and can be learned easily by both countrymen. Sounds that do not exist in either language, such as '''th''' in German, and the guttural '''r''' in English are not rendered, thus making it easier for a standard pronunciation. ===Society=== The Germish society is a very peaceful one, with around 1000 residents. The internal economy is mainly reciprocal, with much of the community’s dairy, meat and vegetable produce produced on its farm, keeping its food profits within the community. Its economy is also helped from its sponsorship deals and tourist trade, in which thousands of yearly visitors are given tours of the community, get to meet the inhabitants, and hear from and meet the people who conceived and brought to fruition the whole idea. There is also a hotel and 4 guest houses in which guests can stay, and partake in the traditional Germish way of life. Tourism and sponshorship generates between €3-4 million annually, and the main sponsor is the Home Improvement giant Aeki, who pay the community for allowing them to use Germingland in their advertising of their flatpack homes. Most of the residential homes there are Koblok Flatpack Homes, produced by Aeki, which are extremely easy to construct and environmentally friendly. '''So why was Germingland created and why come to live here?''' Germingland, from the creation of the dialect to the design and building of the community, was created by 36 year old English billionaire, Wes Daley. Wes was the creator of the internet community portal '''Spooky Cafe©''' (''similar to the likes of My space and Facebook, but with interactive virtual chat rooms''), which he sold in 2002 for an estimated £2 billion. He also owned a European record company, Eveningstar Records, which he co-founded with his German business partner, Georg Abendstern. Wes had a 'private' circle on Spooky Cafe, and originally created the dialect for the use of this private online circle of friends. However, having become severly depressed and anxious about the violence and troubles of our modern 'big brother' style world, he wanted to find a way of escaping the rat race, but did not want to become a recluse. He sold Spooky Cafe and the record company, set about searching for people who shared the same anxieties and concerns, forming a plan with Georg to create his community of peace loving friends. Eventually, around 800 people from his private circle signed up for his project, each paying a deposit of £50,000. Not much more is known from this point, other than he managed to purchase around 20 acres of forest in Bavaria, and build the community. '''What can one do here?''' Obviously, Germingland does not and cannot offer the same entertainment facilities as a modern town or city. If this is what a person wants, then Germingland is not the place to come. However, there IS an entertainment and leisure complex at the heart of the community. Here, one will find: * a 2 screen, 200 seat (per screen)cinema * swimming pool, sauna and gym * 5 restaurant/bars * main community showroom (with musical and other entertainment on the community nights) * library * shops * church One must bear in mind that Germingland is essentially a village. This is split into 5 zones. The central zone is the entertainment and leisure area, the other 4 zones are the residential areas which surround the central zone. The leisure zone is completely encircled by 200 metres of forest which, at night, is beautifully light with low voltage ground lights. One basically comes to Germingland to escape the stress and intrusion of our modern, 'big brother' style society. You won’t see any street cameras here; it’s simply not necessary. There is no fear of being attacked in the street, suffering abuse whilst out for a drink with family or friends, or your house being burgled or ransacked. There is an incredibly friendly atmosphere. It’s safe, non intrusive, and free will for personal opinion and the freedom to indulge in any religion is totally accepted. The Germish people are happy to help one another in any situation; in fact this is one of the oaths sworn by all. They give not to receive, as they know that the community will provide for them whenever necessary. And contrary to outside opinion, Germingland is NOT a cult. No one person within the community is 'worshiped' (''although the heads of Germingland, Wes and Georg are highly revered''), nor controls the day to day lives of the residents. They have normal everyday material things as we do: TV, satellite, modern, trendy clothes, mobile phones etc, and are also free to travel outside the community at anytime, to visit friends, family (''although most families come here as a whole''), and holiday. Of course, rules and regulations are evident, as with any community, and non adherence to these rules are duly noted and dealt with in accordance to Germish law. However, it is very rare that the Germish council has to reprimand anyone, since there is a genuine respect for each other and the community itself. This is of course, the pre-requisite for coming here in the first place! ---- Some rumours state that Wes and Georg bribed their way through various government channels, but this has always been dismissed as utter nonsense. Regardless of rumour, the community was finished in 2005, at an estimated personal cost of approx £250 million. He struck a lucrative sponsorship deal with Aeki, and built up over 200 of their Koblok flatpack homes and apartments. All other buildings, including the village medical centre, shops, entertainement complex, hotel and guest houses, bars and eateries are constructed from wood; the use of the trees that were felled in the process included in their construction. Tree felling was kept to a minimum, and all construction material was designed to be as eco-friendly as possible.<br/>Residents began moving in around June 2006, and August saw an official, closed ceremony, performed in Germanglian. In the last year and a half, another 200 residents have been officially accepted into the community. All the houses there have now been filled, and there are currenlty no plans to expand. ===Germish grammar=== Germish could be described metaphorically as: German and English shovelled into a cement mixer, poured out and set! It’s basically a blend of German and English grammar and vocabulary. Some simple sentences can sound almost entirely English, for example: '''She kan runet'''. She can run. Others can sound very German: '''Es ist ouf di Tish'''. It’s on the table. And others sound typically Germish: '''She runet owf di Gras every Taag'''. She runs on the grass every day. Quite simply, the blend is as follows: Most nouns come from German<br/>Most verbs come from English with German style conjugations<br/>Adjectives, adverbs and modifiers come mainly from English<br/>All other word classes are a hybrid mix.<br/>Spelling conforms to a Germish standard It was decided very early on that Germish would be analytic, that is to say, word order would determine sentence function. The German case and gender system was completely dissolved, and there is no agreement between noun and adjective. In respect of this however, word order would be based on German, the past participle prefix '''ge''' was kept for verbs and verbs would take on German style conjugations. Another linguistic feature that doesn’t exist in Germish is the heirachical address '''Sie''' as in German. This is because Germish society reflects an 'everyone is equal' attitude. Therefore, having a formal address system would go against the moral grain. Politness and respect can be denoted from voice intonation and facial expression. ====Word order==== SVO with verb 2nd position in main clause. Past participles and main verbs are sent to the end after modals and auxiliaries as in German. Subordinate clauses see the main verb sent to the end, followed by the auxiliary or modal. However, in a main clause that FOLLOWS a subordinate, that main clause retains its normal word order, unlike in German where the main verb would take 1st position. Eg: (German) '''Er hatte Füßball gut gespielt.'''<br/>(Germish) '''Hee hat Fütbaal güt gepläen'''.<br/>He had played football well. (German) '''Er wird Füßball spielen wenn sie ihn fragen.'''<br/>(Germish) '''Hee vil Fütbaal pläet, if dä im asken'''.<br/>He will play football if they ask him. But reverse the subordinate clause: (German) '''Wenn sie ihn ''fragen, wird'' er Füßball spielen.'''<br/>(Germish) '''If dä im ''asken'', den hee ''vil'' Fütbaal pläet'''.<br/>If they ask him, then he’ll play football. ---- '''TMP (Time, manner, place)''' This typically moulds itself on German: '''Tüdä meete i mei Froind in di Staat'''. I’m meeting my friend today in town. ====Verbs==== Germish verbs are mainly taken from English, but with German style conjugations: Germish tenses and their English/German equivalents. Since all Germish main verbs are regular, the example used is '''pläen-'''to play: '''present''' ich spiele/I play, am playing (also renders the present progressive, or in German, Verlaufsform) '''pläen''' to play-infinitive '''i pläe''' I play/am playing '''dü pläest''' you play/are playing (singular) '''hee pläet''' he plays/is playing '''she pläet''' she plays '''es pläet''' it plays '''dä pläen''' they play '''vir pläen''' we play '''man pläet''' one plays (impersonal) '''ir pläet''' you play (plural) ---- '''present perfect''' ich habe gespielt/I have played This tense does not use the auxiliary '''hafen'''-to have. The past participle itself denotes perfectiveness, and equates to the German perfect past and the English perfect present. '''i gepläen''' I have played '''dü gepläen''' you have played '''hee gepläen''' he has played '''she gepläen''' she has played '''es gepläen''' it has played '''dä gepläen''' they have played '''vir gepläen''' we have played '''man gepläen''' one has played '''ir gepläen''' you have played (plural) This tense in Germish denotes completeness, whereas the simple past does not. For example, '''I drinkede Kafee''' ''I drank coffee'' does not necessarily mean that the coffee was finished. ---- '''simple past''' ich spielte/I played Simple past tense adds '''d''' before conjugation, or inserts an extra '''e''' if following a conjunct: '''i pläde''' I played '''dü plädest''' you played '''hee plädet''' he played '''she plädet''' she played '''es plädet''' it played '''dä pläden''' they played '''vir pläden''' we played '''man plädet''' one played '''ir plädet''' you played ---- '''perfect/pluperfect past''' ich hatte gespielt/I had played (uses appropriate form of '''hafen''' plus past participle): '''i hafe gepläen''' I had played '''dü hast gepläen''' you had played '''hee hat gepläen''' he had played '''she hat gepläen''' she had played '''es hat gepläen''' it had played '''dä hafen gepläen''' they had played '''vir hafen gepläen''' we had played '''man hat gepläen''' one had played '''ir hat geplälen''' you had played ---- '''future''' ich werde spielen/I will play, am going to play This is formed with the future auxiliary '''vil''' and the appropriate form of the main verb. '''Vil''' has no other use in Germish: '''i vil pläe''' I will play '''dü vil pläest''' you will play '''hee vil pläet''' he will play '''see vil pläet''' she will play '''es vil pläet''' it will play '''dä vil pläen''' they will play '''vir vil pläen''' we will play '''man vil pläet''' one will play '''ir vil pläet''' you will play ---- '''perfect future''' ich werde gespielt haben/I will have played (same for all) '''i vil gepläen''' I will have played '''Other tenses''' '''progressive past''' I was going (not rendered in German) This tense in English is normally used in 2 ways. It can denote intention: ''I was going to call but I fell asleep''. Or an action that was unfinished or interrupted by something else: ''I was reading a book when the phone rang''. Germish can equate these expressions in the following way: '''Intention:''' Use the simple past of '''intenden'''-to intend to: '''I intendede kaalen, but i feslifden'''. I was going (intended) to ring but I fell asleep. '''Ongoing action that stopped''': Use the simple past of the verb with the preposition '''as'''. However, the subordinate clause goes first: '''As i a Bük reedede, di Telefon ringdet'''. I was reading a book when the phone rang. =====Verb moods===== '''Conditional''' would/würde. In Germish, there are 2 conditional moods. The first is a non-sunjunctive mood. This is typically used if the other clause is a ''but, however'' or ''when'' clause, and is rendered with the Germish auxiliary '''vud''' and the appropriate form of the main verb: Present ich würde spielen/I would play '''I vud pläe, but hee asket nit mish''' I would play, but he doesn't ask me. '''Perfect present conditional''' ich hätte gespielt/I would have played (this can also render the future conditional, this is qualified by statement information) '''I vüd gepläen, but hee askedet nit mish''' I would have played, but he didn't ask me. ---- '''Subjunctive conditional''' The Germish subjunctive expresses wishes, desires, and those things that, to most people, are just dreams or fantasies. This is formed by changing the vowel sound of the conditional '''vud''' to '''vüd''', and is typically used with ''if'' clauses: '''If i rich vaa, den i vüd ein Ferrari beien'''. If I were rich, I’d buy a Ferrari. ---- '''Subjunctive '''''could''''' This tense uses ''could'' in the sense of being able to do something based on an ''if'' or a ''because'' clause, for example: "I could be better at maths if I study harder", or "We could be delayed because the train is late". It basically denotes a conditional possibillity. This is rendered with the subjunctive '''kan''' which is '''kün''': '''I kün daa in 40 minüten bäen, if i depaate now.''' I could be there in 40 minutes if I leave now. ---- '''Imperitive''' The Germish imperitive uses the 3rd person singular in harsh or forceful commands. Otherwise, expressions such as directions or polite instructions are simply given as the appropriate pronoun and conjugation. '''Sitet!''' Sit down! =====Conjugations and irregular verbs===== The verb '''bäen'''-to be like in many languages is the most irregular, but only in the present and simple past: '''i am''' I am '''dü bist''' you are '''hee ist''' he is '''see ist''' she is '''es ist''' it is '''dä ar''' they are '''vir ar''' we are '''man ist''' one is '''ir säd''' you are ---- '''Simple past''': '''i vaa''' I was '''dü vaast''' you were '''hee vaa''' he was '''see vaa''' she was '''es vaa''' it was '''dä vaan''' they were '''vir vaan''' we were '''man vaa''' one was '''ir vaan''' you were ---- '''Perfective''' adds '''ge''' to '''vaan''' for all: '''i gevaan''' I have been '''dü gevaan''' you have been '''Pluperfective''' ''had been'' sees a vowel change in the participle, same for all: '''i geveen''' I had been '''dü geveen''' you had been ---- '''Hafen'''-to have '''i hafe''' I have '''dü hast''' you have '''hee hat''' he has '''see hat''' she has '''es hat''' it has '''dä hafen''' they have '''vir hafen''' we have '''man hat''' one has '''ir haft''' you have ---- '''Past'''. There is only one past tense for '''hafen''' which is '''gehafen''', and denotes ''have had''. Again, this is the same for all: '''i gehafen''' I have had '''dü gehafen''' you have had =====Modal Verbs===== Germish modal verbs act as auxiliaries and send the main verb to the end. There is only one form in the present tense, and some are irregular in the past. However, unlike regular German, the main verb does not take infinitive form (''unless that form is already used with a pronoun/noun''); the appropriate conjugate must be used. They are as follows: '''Infinitives:''' '''kanen''' can/to be able to '''süden''' should/to ought to '''leiken''' to like/like '''vanten''' to want/to want to '''düfen''' may/to be allowed to '''I kan Fütbaal pläe'''. I can play football. '''Dü kan Fütbaal pläest'''. You can play football. '''Vir kan Fütbaal pläen'''. We can play football. When a modal has an infinitive meaning, the main verb has a special inflection and will follow the noun: '''Kanen profeshünal Fütbaal pläenen, vüed a trü Trowm.''' To be able to play professional football would be a dream come true. ---- '''Past''' '''I kande Fütbaal pläe'''. I could (was able to/used to be able to) play football. '''I gekanden Fütbaal pläen'''. I could have played football. '''I süd Fütbaal gepläen'''. I should have played. Note: The modal takes no change, tense is denoted from the past participle of pläen. '''I leikede Fütbaal pläen, ven i yung vaa'''. I liked to play football when I was young. *To render ''have liked'' is '''geleiken''', and ''had liked'' is '''hafe geleiken'''. However, these tenses are not used to facilitate main verbs. They’re used in a transitive sense with an object: '''I geleiken dish fir lang zeit'''. I have liked you for a long time. '''I hafe geleiken dish fir lang zeit'''. I had liked you for a long time. ** Note about '''kan'''. One must be careful when using '''kan''' in the past, as there are 2 forms denoting ''could''. The example above is the correct past tense, meaning ''was able to''. However, there is a subjunctive mood, '''kün''', see the subjunctive above. '''I vantede Fütbaal pläen'''. I wanted to play football. '''I gevanten Fütbaal pläen'''. I have wanted to play football. '''I düfde Fütbaal pläen'''. I was allowed to play football. ===Negation=== Negation of verbs is rendered with '''nish''' which directly relates to ''not''. This typically goes after the verb, but for emphasis can follow the noun (''with a little voice intonnation''): '''Hee güet nish'''. He’s not going. '''Hee leiket nish Fütbaal'''. He doesn’t like football. '''Hee leiket Fütbaal nish!''' He does NOT like football! With modals and auxilliaris, the negation word appears with the main verb. This goes AFTER a noun, but where no noun is present, goes after the main verb: '''I kan Fütbaal nish pläe'''. I can’t play football. '''I vil güe nish'''. I will not go. Negation of objects is rendered with '''kein''', which equates to 'not a' or 'no': '''Daa iz kein Stül'''. There is no chair. '''Daa iz kein Chanz, dat tüdä i Fütbaal pläe kan'''. There is not a chance that I can play football today. ===Nouns=== Most Germish nouns are German derived. However, there is no case or gender system, therefore all nouns are pretty regular. Plurals are rendered with '''en''' on consonant endings, and '''n''' on vowel endings. As stated in the word order section, Germish is analytic, therefore noun function relys solely on word order. ====Possession==== Germish possession equates to both the adjective: ''my, your, mein, dein'' etc, and also the German and English genetive: ''mine, his, of me, meiner, deiner, der Korb des Hunds'' etc. In an adjectival sense, this also renders the archaic style ''von mir'' often used in German, and goes as thus: '''mei''' my '''yor''' your '''his''' his '''her''' her '''ets''' its '''unsa''' our '''däa''' their '''irei''' your (plural) '''Hee iz mei Froind.''' He is my friend./He is a friend of mine ''' Däa Faata deiden'''. Their father died. And in a genitive sense: '''mein''' mine '''yors''' yours '''his''' his '''hers''' hers '''ets''' its '''unsere''' ours '''däas''' theirs '''irein''' yours (plural) ---- ===Articles=== Quite simply: '''di''' the '''a''' a/an Spoken, '''di''' will often just be an utterance of '''d'''. ---- ===Germish examples=== Below is a Germish example of Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, followed by its German and English equivalents: '''Germish''' '''Al Hümänen aar from Gebüt free and eküal in Vüde and Reshten. Dä aar gifted mit Vernunft and Gevisen and süd vorgen enanda in Geist of Brüderhat behäven'''.<br/>Literal:<br/>All humans are free and equal in dignity and rights from birth. They are gifted with reason and conscience and should behave towards each other in a spirit of broherhood. '''English''' All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. '''German''' Alle Menschen sind frei und gleich an Würde und Rechten geboren. Sie sind mit Vernunft und Gewissen begabt und sollen einander im Geist der Brüderlichkeit begegnen.

Coherent written texts do not appear until the second half of the 8th century, and some treat the period before 750 as 'prehistoric' and date the start of OHJ proper to 750 for this reason. The main difference between OHJ and the [[Proto-Northern-Romance (MGR)|Northern-Romance]] dialects from which it developed is that it underwent the High Jermench Consonant Shift. This is generally dated very approximately to the late 5th and early 6th centuries - hence dating the start of OHJ to around 500. The result of this sound change is that the consonant system of Jermench remains different from all other Northern Romance languages, including ''{Rom-English}'' and Low Jermench (Basjeirmenk). Grammatically, however, OHJ remained very similar to Old ''{Rom-English}'', Old Batavian and Old Low Jermench. By the mid 11th century the many different vowels found in unstressed syllables had all been reduced to 'e'. Since these vowels were part of the grammatical endings in the nouns and verbs, their loss led to radical simplification of the inflectional grammar of Jermench. For that reason, 1050 is seen as the start of the Middle High Jermench period. ==== Modern Descendants ==== * [[Jermench (MGR)|(High) Jermench]] * [[Fitzekaselch (MGR)|Fitzekaselch]] * [[Jiddich (MGR)|Jiddich]] == Phonology == === Consonants === <br/> <div style="text-align: left;"> {{shaded table| title=Consonants | cols=20 }} | || || ''Bilabial'' || || ''Labiodental'' || || ''Dental'' || || ''Alveolar'' || || ''Palatal'' || || ''Velar'' || || ''Glottal'' |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Nasal'' || || m || || || || || || n || || || || ŋ |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Plosive'' || || p &ensp; b || || || || || || t &ensp; d || || || || k &ensp; g |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Affricate'' || || {{IPA|p͡f}} &ensp; &ensp; || || || || || || {{IPA|t͡s}} &ensp; &ensp; || || || || {{IPA|k͡x}} &ensp; &ensp; |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Fricative'' || || || || f &ensp; v || || θ &ensp; &ensp; || || s &ensp; z|| || || || x &ensp; &ensp; || || h |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Approximant'' || || w|| || || || || || || || j |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Trill'' || || || |||| || || || r |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Lateral'' || || || || || || || || l |} </div><br> # There is wide variation in the consonant systems of the OHJ dialects arising mainly from the differing extent to which they are affected by the High Jermench Consonant Shift.

The voicing of lenis consonants varied between dialects. #/θ/ changes to /d/ in all dialects during the 9th century. #OHJ has long consonants, and the following double consonant spellings indicate not vowel length as in Modern Jermench orthography, but rather genuine double consonants: pp, bb, tt, dd, ck (for /kk/), gg, ff, ss, hh, zz, mm, nn, ll, rr. === Vowels === <br/> <div style="text-align: left;"> {{shaded table| title=Vowels | cols=13 }} | || || || ||''Front''|| ||''Near-front''|| ||''Central''|| ||''Near-back''|| ||''Back'' |- | || || || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''High'' || || || ||iː|| || || || || || || ||uː |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Near-high'' || || || || || ||ɪ|| || || ||ʊ|| || |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''High-mid'' || || || ||e|| || || || || || || ||oː |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Low-mid'' || || || || || ||ɛ &ensp; ɛː|| || || || || ||ɔ &ensp; ɔː |- |style="text-align: center; font-size: 100%;"| ''Low'' || || || || || || || ||a &ensp; aː |} </div><br> === Phonological History === ====Hardening of Stops==== Proto-Northern Romance fricatives {{IPA|[β]}}, {{IPA|[ɣ]}} and {{IPA|[ɸ]}} were hardened to the stops {{IPA|[b]}}, {{IPA|[g]}} and {{IPA|[p]}}. The hardening of {{IPA|/g/}} and {{IPA|/p/}} was unconditional, but the hardenening of {{IPA|/b/}} was dependent on position, and there was some attendant interchange of {{IPA|[β]}}, {{IPA|[b]}} and {{IPA|[f]}}, along with the creation of a new allophone {{IPA|[v]}}: :{{IPA|[β]}} → {{IPA|[b]}} after {{IPA|[l]}}, intervocally, or post-vocally in final position :{{IPA|[b]}} → {{IPA|[v]}} in all other positions :{{IPA|[f]}} → {{IPA|[b]}} after {{IPA|[l]}}, intervocally, or post-vocally in final position ====High Jermench Consonant Shift==== The High Jermench consonant shift was a phonological development which took place in the southern parts of the [[Proto-Northern-Romance (MGR)|Northern Romance]] dialect continuum in several phases, probably beginning between the 3rd and 5th centuries CE, and was almost complete before the earliest written records in the High Jermench language were made in the 9th century. The resulting language, Old High Jermench, can be neatly contrasted with the other continental Northern Romance languages, which mostly did not experience the shift. The High Jermench consonant shift altered a number of consonants in the southern Jermench dialects, and so explains why many Jermnch words have different consonants from the obviously related words in ''{Rom-English}'' and Batavian. Depending on definition, the term may be restricted to a core group of nine individual consonant modifications, or it may include other changes taking place in the same period. For the core group, there are three thrusts which may be thought of as three successive phases: #The three voiceless stops became fricatives in certain phonetic environments ( Spanish ''pi<u>c</u>aza'' maps to Jermench ''fai<u>ch</u>e''); #The same sounds became affricates in other positions (''<u>t</u>u'' : ''<u>z</u>u''); and #The three voiced stops became voiceless (''<u>d</u>e'' : ''<u>t</u>ei''). Of the other changes which sometimes are bracketed within the High Jermench consonant shift, the most important (sometimes thought of as the fourth phase) is: :4. {{IPA|/θ/}} (and its allophone {{IPA|[ð]}}) became {{IPA|/d/}} (Proto-Northern Romance *''<u>th</u>rattar'' : Modern Jermench ''<u>d</u>ratzer''). This phenomenon is known as the "High Jermench" consonant shift because it affects the High Jermench dialects (''i.e.'' those of the mountainous south), principally the Upper Jermench dialects, though in part it also affects the Central Jermench dialects. However the fourth phase also included Low Jermench and Batavian. The High Jermench consonant shift did not occur in a single movement, but rather, as a series of waves over several centuries. The geographical extent of these waves varies. They all appear in the southernmost dialects, and spread northwards to differing degrees. While some are found only in southernmost parts, most are found throughout the upper Jermench area, and some spread on into the central Jermench dialects. The shift ''th''→''d'' was more successful; it spread all the way to the North Sea and affected Batavian as well as Jermench. Most, but not all of these changes have become part of modern standard Jermench. The High Jermench consonant shift is a good example of a chain shift. For example, phases 1/2 left the language without a /t/ phoneme, as this had shifted to /s/ or /ts/. Phase 3 filled this gap (d→t), but left a new gap at /d/, which phase 4 then filled (th→d). =====Stage 1===== In this phase, voiceless stops became geminated fricatives intervocalically, or single fricatives postvocalically in final position. :''p''→''ff'' or final ''f'' :''t''→''zz'' (later Jermench ''ss'') or final ''z'' (s) :''k''→''hh'' (later Jermench ''ch'') ''Note: In these OHJ words, <z> stands for a voiceless fricative that is distinct somehow from <nowiki><s></nowiki>. The exact nature of the distinction is unknown; possibly <nowiki><s></nowiki> was apical while <z> was laminal.'' The first phase did not affect geminate stops in words like *''fattar'' "father", nor did it affect stops after other consonants, as in words like *''sunt'' "(they) are", where another consonant falls between the vowel and the stop. These remained unshifted until the second phase. =====Stage 2===== In the second phase, which was completed by the eighth century, the same sounds became affricates (i.e. a stop followed by a fricative) in three environments: in initial position; when geminated; and after a liquid consonant ({{IPA|/l/}} or {{IPA|/r/}}) or nasal consonant ({{IPA|/m/}} or {{IPA|/n/}}). :{{IPA|/p/}} > {{IPA|/p͡f/}} (written <pf> or <ph>. In later OHJ the affricate shifted further to {{IPA|/f/}} when it immediately followed {{IPA|/l/}} :{{IPA|/t/}} > {{IPA|/t͡s/}} (written <z> or <tz>) :{{IPA|/k/}} > {{IPA|/k͡x/}} (written <kch> or <ch>) The shift did not take place where the stop was preceded by a fricative, i.e. in the combinations {{IPA|/sp, st, sk, ft, ht, xt/}}. {{IPA|/t/}} also remained unshifted in the combination {{IPA|/tr/}}. *The shift of {{IPA|/t/}} > {{IPA|/t͡s/}} occurs throughout the High Jermench area and is reflected in Modern Standard Jermench. *The shift of {{IPA|/p/}} > {{IPA|/p͡f/}} occurs throughout Upper Jermench, but there is wide variation in Central Jermench dialects. The further north the dialect the fewer environments show shifted consonants. This shift is reflected in Standard Jermench. *The shift of {{IPA|/k/}} > {{IPA|/k͡x/}} is geographically highly restricted and only took place is the southernmost Upper Jermench dialects. The Tyrol is the only region where the affricate {{IPA|/k͡x/}} has developed in all positions. In alpine regions only the geminate has developed into an affricate, whereas in the other positions, {{IPA|/k/}} has become {{IPA|/x/}}. However, there is initial {{IPA|/k͡x/}} as well, since it is used for any ''k'' in loanwords, for instance {{IPA|[kxariˈb̥ikx]}}. =====Stage 3===== The third phase, which had the most limited geographical range, saw the voiced stops become voiceless. :''b''→''p'' :''d''→''t'' :''g''→''k'' Of these, only the dental shift ''d''→''t'' finds its way into standard Jermench. The others are restricted to southernmost dialects. This shift probably began in the 8th or 9th century, after the first and second phases ceased to be productive, otherwise the resulting voiceless stops would have shifted further to fricatives and affricates. ====Simplification of geminate consonants==== Geminate consonants were simplified in final position, when immediately preceded or followed by a consonant, or immediately following a long vowel. ====Primary I-Mutation==== Old High Jermench underwent a limited degree of I-mutation, which is usually referred to as 'primary I-mutation' to differentiate it from the more general and widespread [[Middle High Jermench (MGR)|secondary I-mutation]] in Middle High Jermench. The change affected short {{IPA|/a/}}, which mutated to {{IPA|/æ/}} (<e>) when the following syllable contained an {{IPA|/i/}} or {{IPA|/j/}}. The conditioning {{IPA|/i/}} or {{IPA|/j/}} was subsequently lost. Primary I-mutation was blocked by intervening {{IPA|/x/}}, {{IPA|/h/}}, a consonant + {{IPA|/w/}}, or a liquid + a consonant. ====Other Consonantal Changes==== :{{IPA|/gg/}} → {{IPA|/kk/}}. :{{IPA|/sp/}}, {{IPA|/st/}}, and {{IPA|/sk/}} → {{IPA|/ʃp/}}, {{IPA|/ʃt/}}, and {{IPA|/ʃ/}} in initial position. :{{IPA|/h/}} was lost before {{IPA|/l/}}, {{IPA|/r/}}, {{IPA|/n/}}, or {{IPA|/w/}}. :{{IPA|/t/}} → {{IPA|/d/}} before a nasal. ====Other Vowel Changes==== :{{IPA|/ɔ͡ə/}} → {{IPA|/u͡o/}}. :{{IPA|/ɛ͡ə/}} → {{IPA|/i͡e/}}. :{{IPA|/a͡u/}} → {{IPA|/o͡u/}}, except before {{IPA|/h/}}, {{IPA|/t/}}, {{IPA|/d/}}, {{IPA|/s/}}, {{IPA|/n/}} or a liquid, where {{IPA|/a͡u/}} → {{IPA|/o:/}}. == Morphology == === Nouns === ==== 1st Declension ==== =====Group I===== Feminine. {| |

By far the largest degree of change took place in the preterite indicative, which was derived from Latin's perfect. The change was wrought by the loss of the original fourth conjugation endings and the subsequent reanalysis of many verbs, and it was these changes which really drove the beginning of the creation of the new OHJ verb system. The changes, which began in PNR and continued in early OHJ, saw the -{{SC|ī}} class indicative perfects disappear entirely as new preterite forms arose, with the exception of {{SC|feci}} and {{SC|fui}}, which came to be viewed as irregular. Original fourth conjugation verbs whose stems ended in –s were often reanalysed as -{{SC|si}} class (original third conjugation), while others with stems ending in {{SC|-d}} were aligned with the formerly reduplicative verbs in the original first declension. The remaining original fourth conjugation verbs generally developed new -{{SC|uī}} forms and merged their preterites with original second conjugation verbs: :{{SC|vēnī}} > *''vénuí'' > ''winvî''. There followed a general rearrangement of all preterites, and ultimately examples of all classes could be found in each conjugation. From this point, a more useful distinction when considering the preterite became the distinction between weak (those formed from Latin perfects in -v-) and strong verbs, rather than their conjugation ''per se''. In the remainder of the original third conjugation the original short vowels were in frequently lost, to be replaced in some instances by {{IPA|[ə]}} but usually by the corresponding second conjugation endings as these two conjugations increasingly fell together. By the end of the OHJ period, the verb system is classified as having two conjugations (respectively, from the original first and from a combination of the original second, third and fourth), each of which has strong and weak forms. These forms are illustrated in the tables below. ==== Indicative Mood ==== =====1st Conjugation===== {| | <div> {{shaded table| title=Present (weak) | cols=4 }} |||||''Singular''||''Plural'' |- |||''1st person''||– ô ||– âms |- |||''2nd person''||– as||– âzzës |- |||''3rd Person''||– aʐ||– anz |} </div> | <div> {{shaded table| title=Preterite (weak)| cols=4 }} |||||''Singular''||''Plural'' |- |||''1st person''||– aî ||– oums |- |||''2nd person''||– ahî ||– ahës |- |||''3rd Person''||– ôʐ ||– ârnz |} </div> |} <br> Some 1st conjugation verbs, primarily those with stems ending in ''-dd, -ld, -nd'' and ''-t'', formed their preterite indicative differently: {{shaded table| title=Preterite (weak) | cols=4 }} |||||''Singular''||''Plural'' |- |||''1st person''||– ëî||– ams¹ |- |||''2nd person''||– hî||– hës |- |||''3rd Person''||– ëʐ||– arnz¹ |} ¹ Here ''a'' represented {{IPA|[ə]}}.

As well as their allegiance to each other, Louis and Charles pledged their opposition to the Emperor, their elder brother Lothair. According to our chief source for the meeting, Nithard's ''De dissensionibus filiorum Ludovici pii'' (On the Dissensions of the Sons of Louis the Pious), each king swore the oath not in Latin but in the vernacular of the other's kingdom, in front of the assembled armies, which then made their pledge in their own languages. The first oath is in a variety of old Gallo-Romance, the ancestor of Old French; The second is in Old High Jermench. They are one of the first texts we have written in Romance languages clearly distinct from Latin. :LODHVVICVS, QVONIAM MAIOR NATU ERAT, PRIOR HAEC DEFINDE SE SERVATVRVM TESTATVS EST: ::''Pro Deo amur et pro Christian poblo et nostro commun salvament, d'ist di in avant, in quant Deus savir et podir me dunat, si salvarai eo cist meon fradre Karlo et in aiudha et in cadhuna cosa, si cum om per dreit son fradra salvar dift, in o quid il me altresi fazet, et ab Ludher nul plaid numquam prindrai, qui, meon vol, cist meon fradre Karle in damno sit'' :QVOD CVM LODHVVICVS EXPLESSET, KAROLVS ROMANA LINGVA GERMANIARVM SIC HEC EADEM VERBA TESTATVS EST: ::'''''Pfôr Tëî âmar ëʐ lo christjânô pfuofals ëʐ nôsras ambas slûts, tei ëctjaluî jornô ah ônzê, in sî mî Tës sâfɪjnza ah pfuozzê pfërtaʐ, sî wardô jô ëctjalô môu dratrê, sîht hômô âf trëhtô sôu dratrê tiuʐ, in la kî ëllê mê sî mêsams tëʐ, ëʐ âf Lôʐarjô in nunrê kôsa nei sôbeirê, la ma wuolnzas sî nozzeirê winnaʐ.'''''<br/> <br/> {{shaded table| title=Original manuscript | cols=2 }} |''Original text''||''Uncorrected transcription'' |- |valign="top"|[[image:Sacramenta_Argentariae_MGR.png]]|| ''phor tĩ amar ez lo xpiano phuofals &'' <br> ''nrãs ambas sluts tei ectialui iorn o ah ''<br> ''once in simi t safiinza ah phuosce pher~''<br> ''taz, si uardio ectialo mou dratre siht ''<br> ''homo af trehto sou dratre tiuz in la ki ''<br> ''ellme si me sams tez ez af lozario in ñre ''<br> ''kosa nei sobeire la ma uuolnzas si noscei~''<br> ''re uiñaz.'' |} [[Category:Romance conlangs]] Lotá 5485 44202 2009-03-17T05:10:36Z Humancadaver101 212 /* Nominal Morphology */ '''Bold text'''{{Infobox|name=Lotá |pronounce=/lota˥/ - [ˈlo˧.ta˥] |tu= theoretically this universe, future |species=Humanoid |in= Central North coast of [[Lhined]] |no=~5,000 |script=None, romanized for ease in article |tree=isolate, assumed distant relation to Bokeih, notable Rajo-Faraneit and Etimri influences |morph=Inflecting |ms=Nominative-Accusative |wo=SVO with frequent use of SOV |creator=Humancadaver101 aka Schwhatever aka Buckfush530 |date=August 2008}} Lotá is a language spoken slightly inland from the coast opposite the Timereitah. The speakers were typically involved in trade negotiations between continental merchants (specifically the Faraneih, but also Raj and a few other groups) and the coastal fishermen (specifically the Tnusjakt speakers). =Phonology= ==Word Initial Consonants== */p b f v m t d s z n ʃ ʒ l ɬ c ɟ ç ʝ ɲ k g x ɣ ʟ/ ** Romanized as "p b f m t d s z n x zh l lh c j ch jh ng k g kh gh lg" ==Word Medial Consonants== */p b b: f v m t t: d d: s s: z n ʃ ʃ: ʒ l ɬ c ɟ ɟ: ç ʝ ɲ k g g: x ɣ ʟ/ ** Romanized as "p b bb f m t tt d dd s ss z n x xx zh l lh c j jj ch jh ng k g gg kh gh lg" ==Word Terminal Consonants== */v z ʝ ɣ ʔ/ ** Romanized as "v z jh gh q" ==General Vowels== */a a: e e: i i: o o:/ ** Romanized as "a aa e ee i ii o oo" ==Word Terminal Vowels== */ə ɒ: ɛ: ɪ: ɔ: ə~ ɒ:~ ɛ:~ ɪ:~ ɔ:~ a˥ e˥ i˥ o˥ a:˥ e:˥ i:˥ o:˥ a˩ e˩ i˩ o˩ a:˩ e:˩ i:˩ o:˩ a˧ e˧ i˧ o˧ a:˧ e:˧ i:˧ o:˧/ ** Romanized as "y â ê î ô yn an en in on á é í ó áá éé íí óó à è ì ò ù àà èè ìì òò a e i o aa ee ii oo" =Morphology= Like most of the Measceineafh Sprachbund, a relatively high level of synthesis in the verbal morphology is in the process of developing. Unlike most of the other languages in the region, however, Lotá has a history of nominal inflection, although, extensive contact with [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages]] has dramatically reduced this (as well as resulted in the loss of the superlative and a more shadowy plurality distinction). ==Nominal Morphology== There are three cases: nominative, accusative, and oblique. Accusative forms by nasalizing an exposed, terminal vowel (why lacks an underlying consonant which is now expressed by tonality terminally), or if there is a terminal consonant or a non-reduced vowel with an underlying phoneme, adding a /ə~/. Oblique is formed by adding -/tə/ or -/ə/ if the root ends in a voiced consonant. The first declension is made of nouns that end in any fricative. Those that end in fricatives are devoiced in non-nominative cases. sez - fish(es) - nominative sesyn - accusative sesty - oblique The second declension contains all nouns which end in a glottal stop. The /ʔ/ becomes one of /p t c k/ in non-nominative cases. As a result, many nominative homophones are distinguished in other cases: daq - wolf/wolves - nominative dakyn - accusative dakty - oblique daq - merchant(s) - nominative dapyn - accusative dapty - oblique The third declension is made of nouns that end in a nasalized vowel. The orthography hides the distinction, that word terminal <n> nasalizes the proceeding vowel, while word medial does not. Several nouns are merged in the nominative, although distinct elsewhere. sovyn - horn(s) - nominative sovonyn - accusative sovony - oblique sovyn - pain(s) - nominative sovomyn - accusative sovomy - oblique The fourth declension is made of nouns that end in a "clear" long vowel (middle tone /a: e: i: o:/). Here, a deleted approximant appears in non-nominative cases. Some nouns are homophones for the nominative but otherwise distinct. lhî - finger(s) - nominative lhilyn - accusative lhily - oblique lhî - waste - nominative lhilhyn - accusative lhilhty - oblique The fifth declension is made of nouns that end in a high tone vowel. The internally preserved plosive varies, as nouns can be homophones in the nominative but distinct in the other cases. dó - pig(s) - nominative dogyn - accusative dogy - oblique dó - fruit(s) - nominative dobyn - accusative doby - oblique lotá - lotá person(s) or the lotá language - nominative lotadyn - accusative lotady - oblique The sixth declension is made of nouns the end in a low tone vowel. The internally preserved fricative varies, as nouns can be homophones in the nominative, but distinct in the other cases. lhì - gem(s) - nominative lhizyn - accusative lhizy - oblique lhì - exchange(s), trade(s) - nominative lhivyn - accusative lhivy - oblique A seventh declension, formed by earlier *-aad' or *-aat' roots also exists, but it is highly irregular. Unlike most other declensions, here the accusative and oblique cases merge between couplets that end in glottal stops or a high tone. For example: lá - blood - nominative laggyn - accusative lakty - oblique laq - shoe(s) - nominative laggyn - accusative lakty - oblique The eighth declension contains only one word - lhik, meaning ear(s), which is the only example of terminal /k/ (which is why it's treated like a slant phoneme in that position, not a full-fledged phoneme). It's declension is reminescent of the fourth declension in some ways: lhik - ear(s) - nominative lhiklhyn - accusative lhiklhty - oblique Last but not least, there is the ninth declension, which parallels the eighth. Its members all have short vowels in the nominative and long vowels embedded in oblique and accusative forms: ba - shawl(s) - nominative bâyn - accusative bâty - oblique [[Lotá Pronouns]] are somewhat more complex, as they distinguish number and proximity (or failing that inclusiveness and exclusiveness). ==Verbal Morphology== There are two main verbal declensions, which (for ease) will be referred to as the first and second declension. The first declension is highly regular and clearly defines the root and affixes of the verb. For example, with ''geq'' (to give, mutation form gek-): ni geki ki gaz ni gek- i ki gaz 1.S.NOM give-IMP to 2.S.OBL I'm giving you (something). ni geksi ki gaz ni gek- si ki gaz 1.S.NOM give-PRF to 2.S.OBL I gave you (something). The second declension, on the other hand, has the final consonant of the root voice if unvoiced and geminate. Virtually all of them end with /g/ or /k/ in mutation form (and therefore a high vowel or glottal stop when exposed). Another example with ''lá'' (to bleed, mutation form lag-): ni laggi ni lag(g)-i 1.S.NOM bleed- IMP I'm bleeding. ni lagsi ni lag- si 1.S.NOM bleed-PRF I bled. Once the root and the tense/aspect marker have been added, another series of suffixes can be dumped at the end of the verb. The next one is to mark for mood - the optative marker, either present and marking or absent and non-optative. ni geksindi ki gaz ni gek- si- ndi ki gaz 1.S.NOM give-PRF-OPT to 2.S.OBL I should have give you (something). Next, one of various negative markers can follow. These do not compete with the optative marker. For example: ni geksiata ki gaz ni gek- si- atna ki gaz 1.S.NOM give-PRF-NEG to 2.S.OBL I didn't give you (something). ni geksindiatna ki gaz ni gek- si- ndi-atna ki gaz 1.S.NOM give-PRF-OPT-NEG to 2.S.OBL I shouldn't have give you (something). There are two main negative markers: -atna, and -lhia. The first is used for verbs that usually take solid objects or a variety of objects. The second is for verbs that typically take fluid or no object. ni laggilhia ni lag(g)-i- lhia 1.S.NOM bleed- IMP-NEG I'm not bleeding. ni zivoilhia ni zivo-i -lhia 1.S.NOM age- IMP-NEG I'm not getting older. Following negative markers, other mood and aspect suffixes may be added. ni lagsiná. ni lag- si- ná. 1.S.NOM bleed-PRF-CONT (As/While) I (continued to) bleed. ni lagsiky. ni lag- si- ky 1.S.NOM bleed-PRF-EMPH I (totally/hella) bled profusely/to death! ni lagsiq ni lag- si- q 1.S.NOM bleed-PRF-IRR I might have bled. ni lagsin ni lag- si- n 1.S.NOM bleed-PRF-POT I could have bled. The irrealis marker -q proceeds all other "Other Mood" markers (but not optative or negative markers) when stacked, but mutates to -t when medial: ni laggitky. ni lagg- i- t- ky. 1.S.NOM bleed-IMP-IRR-EMPH I may bleed to death! Further along, the emphatic (which mutates to -ke- medially) always proceeds the continuative (which mutates to -nab- medially), which in turn proceeds the potential markers (which becomes -yn if following a consonantal ending). ni laggiken. ni lagg- i- ke- n 1.S.NOM bleed-IMP-EMPH-POT I could be bleeding! ni laggikenabyn. ni lagg- i- ke- nab- yn 1.S.NOM bleed-IMP-EMPH-CONT-POT I could still be bleeding! Thus, the basic morphemic structure is- [verbal root]-([ASPECT]-[optative marker]-{[NEGATIVE]-[irrealis marker]-[emphatic marker]-[continuative marker]-[potential marker]}) ==Modifier Morphology== There is no superlative, but rather, the comparative - which is formed by taking an adjective and adding the suffix -sá (mutation form -sag-). ni sê. ni se(l) 1.S.NOM full I'm full. ni selsá. ni sel- sá. 1.S.NOM full-COMP I'm fuller/the fullest. Obviously, just as with nouns, underlying phonemes to the end of a modifier appear when medial, because of the additional suffixes. Additionally, modifiers take a copula form (-si, which also preserves medial sections) to express past modification (as opposed to pure elision for present existance (as in the earlier example). For example: ni selsi. ni sel- si 1.S.NOM full-PRF I was full. This follows any additional suffixes. For instance: ni selsagsi. ni sel- sag- si 1.S.NOM full-COMP-PRF I was fuller/the most full. (More complex moods, negation, and other forms are expressed differently with a helper verb.) ==Derivational Morphology== To make a modifier from a noun or a verb, all that is required is to add the suffix -lí (mutation form -lig-). lá (lag) - bleeding, to bleed laglí - bloody lagligsá - bloodier, bloodiest The distinction between the verb-noun (roots such as lá - to bleed but also bleeding) functioning as a verb and functioning as a "experience" noun (the event of said action) is purely syntactic. But to agentize said root, lhen-, is prefixed to it. To patientize said root, however, -lhen (-len for voiced consonant mutation forms) is suffixed to it. lhenlá - bleeder, one who bleeds laglen - discharge (from a wound), puss, expelled blood, vomit, what is bled =Syntax= ==Noun Phrase== As part of the [[Measceineafh Sprachbund]], it's only natural for the noun phrase to mix right branching and left branching elements almost equally - with a special emphasis on quantifiers in opposition to qualifiers. ==Basic Structures== Lotá is obviously SV. It's default form is SVO, although SOV is a secondary word order for stressing direct objects. ==Prepositional Phrases== =Lexicon= ==a== ==aa== ==b== BA (bâ) - ''n'' shawl, scarf ==c== ==ch== ==d== DAQ (dak) - wolf/wolves DAQ (dap) - merchant DETLHY (detlhi-) - two, double, doubly DÓ (dob-) - fruit(s) DÓ (dog-) - pig(s) DONY (done-) - bone(s), starving, to starve (transitive) ==e== ==ee== ==f== ==g== GAZ - second person, singular, oblique pronoun GEQ (gek-) - giving, to give GITLHY (gitlha-) - salt, to barter ==gh== ==i== ==ii== ==j== ==jh== ==k== KANÎ - new KI - towards, to KIQ (kik-) - this (demonstrative and modifier) KOVY (kovo-) - tongue, to speak, speaking/speech KY (ki-) - death, to die ==kh== ==l== LAQ (lak-) - shoe(s) LÁ (lag-) - bleeding, to bleed LOOSY (looso-) - any insect or small animal LOTÁ (lotad-) - lotá person or language ==lh== LHÉ (lhed-) - tooth, teeth, to nibble, to chomp, to bite LHENY (lhena-) - one, early LHENY (lhene-) - sun LHEZY (lheze-) - water, to provide water for (transitively), to be rained upon (intransitively) LHI (lhialh-) - drop(s) LHÎ (lhil-) - finger(s) LHÎ (lhilh-) - waste LHÌ (lhiv-) - exchange, trade, to exchange, to trade LHÌ (lhiz) - gem(s) LHIK (lhiklh-) - ear(s) LHÓ (lhod-) - egg(s), to raise (from childhood) LHONZY (lhonze-) - hand(s) ==lg== ==m== ==n== NOZ (nos-) - nose NAKLHY (naklha-) - name, to call (to attract attention) NI - first person, singular, nominative pronoun NINQ (nink-) - moon ==ng== ==o== ==oo== ==p== ==r== ==s== SAQ (sak-) - eye(s) SE (sel-) - full, filled SEZ (ses-) - fish(es) SIQ (sik-) - nominative interrogative pronoun SOVYN (sovom-) - pain, discomfort SOVYN (sovon-) - horn ==t== TALDIZ (taldis-) - wind, to fan TOLY (tole-) - bottom, rear, last, end, to finish, finishing TONY (tono-) - knowing, to know ==u== ==uu== ==v== ==x== ==z== ZATNA (zatnalh-) - stone(s) ZEKLHY (zeklha-) - year, to become older (intransitive) ZELY (zele-) - fire(s), to destroy ==zh== Talk:Grammar of Saxon English 5486 35214 2008-08-09T13:49:07Z Blackkdark 1214 New page: I'm gonna be nice, cause I think whoever wrote this got some things mixed up.

It was a gradual change which have many possible causes, although no one is accepted as truth. Although there were lingering shifts continuing up until the 19th century, as well as other shifts in America and other countries. ==Possible Reasons== ==Simplified Version of the Shift== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- | |||Front || Central || Back |- | || Unround || Unrounded || Rounded |- | High || iː - ɪ || || uː - ʊ |- | Mid || eː - ɛ || ə/ʌ || oː - ɔ |- | Low || æ || aː/a |- | colspan="7"| All entries are: Tense - Lax |} </div> The shift involves most long and tense vowels to basically "move up" or become diphthongised. This would mean that /aː/ shifted up to /eː/, and /eː/ shifted up to /iː/, and /iː/ being already at the top, became the diphthong /aj/. On the other side, /oː/ shifted to /uː/, and /uː/ become the diphthong /aw/. If the /uː/ did not originally have two syllables, it became /ʌ/, and likewise many /a/ sounds had shifted to /æ/ in monosyllabic endings. <br> The shift is as follows: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! !

Seuna relative clauses 5502 36387 2008-08-25T08:02:27Z Staigard 752 /* when the RC stands by itself */ The relative clause marker is '''ta'''. This corresponds to "that" or "who" in English. SVO ....... or VSO when the S is indefinite. ==The relative clause marker for the singular : "ta" in its different forms== ===ta=== The dog that bit the man. => '''waulo ta gigori blas''' The dog that bit a man. => '''waulo ta gigori bla''' ===tas=== The man whom the dog bit. => '''bla tas waulo gigori''' The man whom a dog bit. => '''bla tas gigori waulo''' Note - the RCmarker takes '''s''' every time when the noun is the object of the RC. ===ta'u=== The endtag '''u''' corresponds to English "by". The hand that I hit with => hand '''ta'u''' I hit ===tayo=== The endtag '''yo''' corresponds to English "to" or "upto". It is used exactly as in English to indicate the receiver of a gift. The family that we gave the dog to => family '''tayo''' we gave the dog ===tafi=== The endtag '''fi''' corresponds to English "at". The hurdle at which I fell => hurdle '''taf''' I fell. ===tage=== The endtag '''ge''' corresponds to English "'s" or "of". The man whose dog I killed => '''bla tage waulo''' kill'''ari''' ===tale=== The endtag '''le''' corresponds to English "from". The place that we come from => place '''tale''' we come ===tawa=== The endtag '''wa''' corresponds to English "towards". Also to English "about" as in "I think about you". The person who we are all thinking about => person '''tawa''' we are all thinking. ===taho=== The endtag '''ho''' corresponds to English "with". The woman that you went to market with => woman '''taho''' you went to market ==The relative clause marker for the plural : "tan" in its different forms== When the head noun is plural '''tan''' must be used instead of '''ta'''. For example;- The dogs that bit the man. => dog'''n tan''' bit '''blas''' The various forms of '''tan''' with the endtags are '''tan tansa tanu tanyo tanfi tange tanle tanwa''' and '''tanho'''. Notice that an '''a''' has been added to '''tansa''' to make it fall within the allowed morphology of Seuna. Inspite of this it is allowed to pronounce '''tansa''' as '''tans'''. It is also allowed to pronounce '''tanfi''' as '''tanf'''. =="ta" followed by adjectives (a subset of "ta" + RC)== As it is allowed to drop the copula when it is deemed not to have any usefull information '''meu ta ro hau''' ... => the cat that is black mean the same as '''meu ta hau''', hence NOUN+'''ta'''+ADJECTIVE is the same construction as NOUN+'''ta'''+RC. Now the question is : what is the differnce in meaning between '''meu ta hau''' and '''meu hau'''. The answer is not much. The former construction gives slightly more prominence to the adjective. For example if you were comparing a black cat to a white cat you would tend to use the '''ta''' construction. '''ta''' can be put after any NOUN and before any ADJECTIVE that qualifies that NOUN and it won't feel strange. A full RC would seem a bit strange (i.e. '''meu ta ro hau''' for '''meu hau''') unless of course there was relevant tense information to convey. I guess having '''meu ta hau''' meaning basically the same as '''meu hau''' gives a bit of leeway to songwriters and poets. ==When we have ''''ta''' instead of '''ta'''== Consider the three sentences below. 1) '''meu hau''' sleeps on the bed 2) '''meu ta hau''' sleeps on the bed 3) '''meu 'ta hau''' sleeps on the bed In the third sentence the apostrophe represents a definite break in the flow of words. The Seuna writing system has symbols to represent breaks in the flow of words ... either for breathing or for emphasis. Usually when I write Seuna text with the Latin alphabet I do not bother to show these breaks. However I do in this case as it is important for the meaning of the text. In the first sentence both the speaker and the hearer can identify the black cat. In the third sentence, the hearer, beforehand, did not know that the cat was black, i.e. the fact that the cat was black is "new information". The above that I have demonstrated with an adjective, is valid for RC's as well. What about the second sentence ? Well it basically means the same as the first but with slightly more emphasis on the adjective. For example;- '''meu ta hau''' sleeps on the bed but '''meu ta ai''' sleeps on the chair The usage NOUN ''''ta''' RC is similar to the usage NOUN 'NOUN. For example ;- "George Bush - President of the united states said today ...", when two nouns are stood beside each other and thereby equated to each other. ==when the RC stands by itself== So far we have been dealing with nouns that are modified by RC's. But in Seuna RC's can can be nouns in themselves. For example;- '''ta mori''' = the one who came '''tan muri''' = the ones who came '''tas bari''' = the one that I saw '''tans bari''' = the ones that I saw It is permissible to have '''na''' or '''wa''' in front of '''ta''' to indicate what we are talking about is human.

(The ampersand is the first letter of the Seuna alphabet. It is just a symbol that support the following vowel. So a word with @ initially, actually starts with a vowel.) After the "head-event" there is the "initial-span-sound". The 11 possible "initial-span-sounds" are AU O OI I IA A UA U EU E AI * * Notice that no opening diphthongs allowed in initial position vowel = span.sound ? = flow.sound ? The above constitutes what in SEUNA terminology is called a "word". Most concepts in Seuna are represented by a "word". Many particles (and a few concepts such as cat = MEU) are represented by shorter "sound-strings" (called "mini-words" in Seuna terminology), but the vast majority of concepts are represented by "words".

These forms are -'''oi'''- for the singular and -'''eu'''- for the plural. An obvious question is ... if they agent is unknown, then how do you decide which of the two forms to use. The answer is that if the action is typically performed by one person you use the '''oi''' form. Whereas if the action is typically performed by more than one person, you use the '''eu''' form. '''bundeurin dwolo''' = they say a house was built '''caito kludoirus''' = (I guess) the book will be written skriver = 'writing happens' (on écrit) [IMPERSONAL] The equivalent of the English passive is expressed by using the impersonal _with a direct object_, e.g. skriver ul levr = on écrit un livre = a book is being written These forms roughly correspond to indefinite pronouns such as Swedish and German ''man'', French ''on'' and English ''one'' a house is built = someone built a house I have a page ??

When they were intervocalic they were usually voiced (unless geminated) and thusly became /ð/. Many modern English words with the voiced /ð/ come from this era. ====[[Middle English]]==== In many cases, this still used the symbols Þ,þ and Đ,ð, though they were in a quick decline. In their place '''th''' came. Some wrote them as '''t''' or '''d''', but many used '''th'''. In some cases there were interdental '''t̪''' and '''d̪''', which would later develop into the interdental fricatives. An example would be '''moder''' from [[Geoffry Chaucer]]. Later the interdental stop would become a fricative, and become '''mother''', not '''moser''' or '''mozer''' indicating that the stop was interdental and not alveolar. ====[[Modern English]]==== Modern English uses the combination '''th''' to indicate both interdental fricatives. Some dialects replace the interdentals with dental stops (Irish English), labio-dental fricatives (Cockney and Philadelphian English), or alveolar fricatives (Pennsylvanian Dutch English). Although not the definite rule, most words in English which are written with an intervocalic '''th''' are voiced, such as '''bath''' /bæθ/ (voiceless) vs. '''bathe''' /beð/ (voiced). There are many words in Modern English with initial voiced interdental fricatives, such as the /ðə/, though /ðow/, then /ðɛn/, there /ðɛɹ/, that /ðæt/ etc. A minimal pair for the voiced and voiceless forms of the interdental fricatives are '''thy''' /ðaj/ (voiced), and '''thigh''' /θaj/ voiceless ===[[Old Norse]]=== Old Norse also had this sound. It was written in the Latin alphabet with the same two letters as it had been written with in the Anglo-Saxon alphabet, Þ,þ and Đ,ð. Many cases of Old Norse involved similar intervocalic fricatives becoming voiced, so it is likely that the symbols were used interchangeably. The letter þ, thorn, comes from the [[Runic]] alphabet. Also some cases of transliteration from runic and from Old Norse have /ð/ as '''dh'''. An example might be Odhinn, another spelling for Odin, king of the Norse gods. ====[[Icelandic]]==== Icelandic, unlike its Scandinavian cousins in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, did not loose the interdental fricative sounds. The symbols Þ,þ and Đ,ð are still used today on the Icelandic keyboard. ====[[Danish]]==== In some dialects of Danish, the /ð/ exists intervocalically, or after vowels, much like Spanish. ===[[Old High German]]=== In Old High German, before the [[High German Consonant Shift]], /ð/ was in the language. However, after the sound shift it and its voiceless counterpart swiftly became /d/. ==Spanish== Spanish does not naturally have the interdental voiced fricative, but as an allophone. The letter '''d''' in Spanish is an interdental stop, '''/d̪/'''. When this sound is between, or in some cases after, a vowel, then it becomes /ð/. Examples include '''nada''' /naða/, '''todos''' /toðos/, and '''unidos''' /uniðos/. ==Greek== The Greek letter for the interdental voiced fricative is '''Δ,δ''' also known as '''delta''' or '''dhelta'''. This letter is also used to form a common /d/, but the /ð/ is fairly commonplace. ==Welsh== The combination of '''dd''' produces the /ð/ sound in Welsh. ==Semitic languages== Proto-Semitic is reconstructed with *ð. ===Arabic=== Classical Arabic has /ð/ as the letter ﺬ. ===Hebrew=== Proto-Semitic *ð becomes /z/ in Hebrew. /d/ then becomes a new /ð/ unless word-initial or geminate. ==Uralic languages== <nowiki>*ð</nowiki> is reconstructed for Proto-Uralic. This occurs eg. in the adjectival suffix ''*-iðA'' (→ Finnish ''-eA''). It survives only in Sami (spelled <đ> there). In Finnic it merged with *t, and in Permic with *l. There also was a palatalized functional counterpart *ð' that may have been an actual [ðʲ] but just as well eg. [ʝ]. This occurs in eg. the roots ''*d'ümä'' 'glue' (→ Finnish ''tymä'', ''tymäkkä'') and ''*d'ïxmi'' 'bird cherry' (→ Finnish ''tuomi'') Baltic Finnic [[consonant gradation]] produced new †/ð/. This, too, has decayed down by now (last seen in the Old Rauma dialect of Finnish which died around the erly 20th C.) In Finnish it was lost after an unstressed syllable. After a stressed syllable it turns into /r/ (western dialects), null (eastern dialects), /j/ (parts of Karelia) or /l/ (a small area in Tavastia).

It is also comparable to a devoiced vowel. The symbol is /h/. In Romance languages that do not pronounce this sound, and English, the letter's name is usually pronounced with a palatal or velar sound (Spanish /aʧe/, French /aʃ/, Italian /aka/, Portuguese /aga/, English /eʧ/).

In [[Anglo-Saxon]], an '''h''' after a vowel would be /x/ or /ç/ depending on the location of the vowel. The symbol '''h''' is used in many digraphs without the /h/ pronunciation, such as '''ch''' /ʧ/, '''th''' /ð/ or /θ/, '''rh''' /ɹ/, '''ph''' /f/, '''sh''' /ʃ/, '''wh''' /ʍ/, and '''hn''' /n̯/, '''hr''' /ɹ̯/, and '''hl''' /ɬ/ (the last three are from [[Old English|Old]] and [[Middle English]]). ===Other West Germanic Languages=== [[High German]], [[Dutch]], and [[Low German]] also commonly use the symbol '''h''' to represent the sound /h/, which is also fairly common in the language. In High German variations the digraphs '''sch''' /ʃ/, '''tsch''' /ʧ/, '''ch''' (Old High German '''hh''' /ç/), and '''ph''' /f/ or /pf/ are all used without the /h/ sound but spelt with the orthographic ''''h'''. ===Old Norse and Icelandic=== The symbol '''h''' was/is used to mark devoiced versions of normally voiced sounds (like in [[Anglo-Saxon]]). Otherwise it is used to represent the normal /h/. ===Danish, [[Norwegian]], and Swedish=== These three use the same symbol to represent this sound. ==Romance Languages== ===Latin and Romanian=== Latin and Romanian did/do have the letter '''h''', which it was/is pronounced /h/, like most Germanic languages. ===Spanish=== Spanish does not naturally have the sound /h/, but in some dialects in Central and South America, the sound /h/ is used for the letter '''j'''. NOTE: This is only a few dialects, it is more standard to pronounce '''j''' as /x/ after back vowels, and /ç/ elsewhere! ===French=== In Normandy, which was occupied by the Norman (Viking) peoples, they brought the /h/ sound with them into Old Norman French. Even today, the Norman French language is spoken with a /h/ sound. ===Italian=== In Lombardy, originally occupied by the Germanic speaking Langobards (Long Beards), some cases have still retained the Germanic glottal fricative in pronunciation. ==Hebrew and Arabic== The Hebrew and Yiddish symbol for the /h/ sound is ה.

The most basic form is the spelling '''sh'''. However, there are others spellings. The digraph '''ch''' is used as /ʃ/ in words from French (such as '''chef''' and '''champagne'''). In the noun ending '''-tion''', most of the time the initial sound is turned into a /ʃ/ ('''combination''', '''redemption''', and '''creation'''). Related to that is the digraph '''-ti-''' in several words (such as '''initial'''). The last one is often the spelling '''ss''' or simple '''s''' (such as '''tissue''', '''fissure''', or '''sure'''). In some German loanwords, the combination '''sch''' is used ('''schadenfreude''', '''schnapps''' '''schnauzer'''). ===[[High German]] and [[Low German]]=== In High and Low German, the trigraph '''sch''' is used to form the sound /ʃ/. ===[[Dutch]]=== The digraph '''sj''' is used for /ʃ/. It should be noted that the trigraph '''sch''' is pronounced /sx/ rather than /ʃ/. ===[[Norwegian]]=== In Norwegian, this sound is produced by the combination '''sk''' before '''j''', '''i''', or '''y''' or '''sj'''. Some dialects vary on this. ===[[Swedish]]=== In Swedish, the digraph '''ch''' is used for /ʃ/, especially when it's after a front vowel (i, y, e, ä, or ö). ==Romance Languages== ===French=== The digraph '''ch''' is pronounced /ʃ/ in French. ===Italian=== Italian has a digraph which differs by the frontness of the vowel.

You also never hunt or gather if you already have enough food from previous days. You do these things to make sure you do not damage the sacred forest. Most food you eat is available all year round. Meat from terrestrial animals makes up about a third of your diet, honey about 10%, fishing about 10% and plant food the rest. ==Meals== Meals are eaten straight after food is brought back in the evening and prepared if any preparation need be done. You later eat some more after having games, dancing or stories. Breakfast is eaten from leftovers from the night before. You eat your food either outside or in your home. You'll probably eat it by the fire you cooked it on if you cooked your food. Mealtimes are far from set in stone though. ==Preparation== Everyone, or else a fair number of the people, in a community has to be there before the food is shared out. You only cook your food if it is meat or a root vegetable. If you catch a large animal such as a crocodile or monitor, you will cook it in separate chunks by wrapping it in leaves and burying with hot coals. For eating human, you will boil it. For meat, the first part of preparation after it is cooked is that the person who killed the animal should drink some of its blood. ==Table Manners== You make sure to use a spoon and bowl for liquid foods. Make sure the youngest person is served first because they are the most important. You should make sure to contribute to the conversation and not be quiet and don't talk so quietly that people can not hear you. Do not waste your food or play with it as this would make it seem that you do not enjoy the food or are ungrateful for it. Conversely, burping and farting are considered signs of your enjoyment and are thus encouraged. You usually get served first if you're a child or pregnant woman. Othewise it's on a first come, first served basis. You eat your food once you have been served it. It would ridiculous to try eating beforehand and it would be just wasteful to leave any of the food you take. ==Narcotics== Narcotics such as pandanus leaves and magic mushrooms are allowed for anyone that wants some but people are always encouraged to use them responsibly. It is not considered anything wrong to give it to children than adults although children should use less. Narcotics are often used for spiritual means, such as to communicate with spirits or the dead. ==Edibility and Quality== You wouldn't eat any dairy product as milk is for babies. You don't consider live human to be food. Unless it's part of a punishment. You don't consider horses or cows food either but that's just because you've never seen one. You do consider frogs, lizards, bats, snakes and sharks food though. You do consider arthropods or worms to be food but not good food - they're too dirty and wee. The only parts of bodies you usually do not eat are the bones, teeth and keratin. Bones are used for decoration or sometimes ritual instead. You would never eat anything fermented. Eggs are really tasty and usually eaten raw. Honey is also one of the most highly priced food items. It is considered always worth the risk of getting bitten (Smaldgians bees can not use their sting to defend themselves; they bite instead.) Fatty meat is tastier than that without lots of fat. Fish and other seafood is usually not a major part of the diet, although it is more so on the coasts. This is partly because Smaldgians see themselves as part of the forest and protected by it so do not want to go outside it. Fish are a highly valued part of the diet though. On the coast, the most highly valued food is aquatic mammals. Bivalves, on the other hand, are only a last resort. ==Hunting== You probably kill your own food, whether it lives in your back yard or if you have to go further to find it. If you knew what fast food referred to other than a difficult hunt, you'd puke. You wouldn't hunt or kill animals for any other reason other than for food or self-defence though. Because of the dense undergowth in the forest, you can neither hunt on your own nor from a distance by most methods and must employ techniques which require company. Before you go for a hunt, you come up with plans as to how you're going to hunt. Hunts usually last about 5 hours and are done on average every second day. One method is of setting traps and coming back to them later. This method generally can not get the more highly valued large animals but it is reliable and contributes a significant amount to the diet. It is usually done more by the elderly and is the only method which can be always done alone. For getting animals out of their burrows, you would use a burning branch to scare them out at 1 entrance and have another person waiting at others, making sure all the entrances were blocked off. In the case of there only being one entrance, a new entrance is made down which the branch is put. You also use bows and arrows to hunt aquatic animals sometimes. You use spears to hunt most of the time though. The way you use them is to have a group of people scare the animals out from whereever they are and then another person is ready with the spear as soon as it is sight. If you live by the sea, when you hunt for aquatic animals, you row out into the sea on a canoe made of strips of bark tied together at night and spear or shoot the animals once they can be seen. Males generally hunt large animals whereas the women hunt wee animals. Hunting is considered more exciting than gathering and meat is considered to be the best food you can get. ==Gathering== Young children usually help with the foraging. Unlike with gathering other foods, it is usually the males who gather honey. The most commonly gathered foods besides honey are fruit, nuts and mushrooms. ===Firewood and Water=== These are gathered by women, either with other women or their husband.

It was created by adopting some phonetical rules of change, fixed in the language. Very few phonetical laws can deeply modify a language. And some morphological parts of the language underwent some analogical or redistributing change. ==Phonetic changes== ===Vowels=== Final vowels usually disappeared, and it opened the way for an important way of distinction: '''''palatalization''''' * ''-o'' → falls * ''-e'' → falls * ''-i'' → falls, but it '''palatalized''' the previous consonant * ''-a'' → '''-e''' * ''-u'' → remains '''-u''' * ''-io'' → '''-i''', with ''palatalization'' of the previous consonant Inside words, vowels underwent other kinds of changes: * unstressed ''-a-'' became '''-ë-''', if it is in syllables before the stressed one. * open front vowel ''-e-'' became dipthong '''-ei-''' * closed back vowel ''-o-'' became open back vowel '''-o-'''. * dipthong ''-uo-'' became open back vowel '''-o-''' ===Consonants=== Differently from today Italian language, consonants developped a new way to distinguish among themselves: '''Palatalization'''. The palatalization is a phonemic phenomenon that involves the tongue. The top point of the tongue gets higher than the normal position and the sound seems as the consonant would be followed by a soft "''i''". In fact consonants undergo palatalization only if in the past they was followed by an /i/ in final position of a word. But some consonants underwent some deeper changes. This was the case of palatalization of /s/, /t/, /d/ and /k/: * ''-si'' → '''-ş''' in final * ''-ti'' → '''-ç''' in final * ''-di'' → '''-ģ''' in final * ''-chi-'' → '''-çi-''' or '''-ç''' in final Also some groups of consonants can undergo palatalization or similar changes: * ''-tt-'' → '''-st-''' * final ''-tti'' → '''-ş''' * final ''-ddi'' → '''-ģ''' * ''-st-'' → '''-şt-''' * ''-stiV-'' → '''-şV-''' * ''-chiV-'' → '''-çV-''' * ''-schiV-'' → '''-şV-''' * ''-quV-'' → '''-cV-''' * ''-zi-'' → '''-si-''' * ''-chio'' in final position → '''-çi''', and its plural is regularly ''-chi'' → '''-ç'''. * ''-schi'' in final position → '''-ş''' At last, the most evident phenomenon is that every double consonant became '''simple'''. ===Examples=== Some examples of these changes may be: <small>(singular/plural)</small> * ''Gatto''/''gatti'' (cat) → '''gast'''/'''gaş''' * ''Tempo''/''tempi'' (time) → '''teimp'''/'''teimṕ''' * ''Canale''/''canali'' (channel) → '''cënal'''/'''cënał''' * ''Finestra''/''finestre'' (window) → '''fineiştre'''/'''fineiştr''' ==Synchronic analysis== Now we will analyse Itëłan language as a singular language, its phonetic and morphological aspects, on a synchronic (means ''on the same time'') point of view (but we will give also the historical origin of words, sounds, and of their changes) ===Alphabet=== *Capital letters: :A B (Ḃ) C Ç D E Ë F (Ḟ) G Ģ I L Ł M (Ṁ) N Ņ O P (Ṕ) R (Ṙ) S Ş T U V (Ṿ) Z (Ẓ) *Normal letters: :a b (ḅ) c ç d e ë f (ḟ) g ģ i l ł m (ṃ) n ņ o p (ṕ) r (ṛ) s ş t u v (ṿ) z (ẓ) ===Phonology=== {| align="center" class="wikitable" |align="center"|'''Letter''' || a || b || (ḅ) || c || ç || d || e || ë || f || (ḟ) || g || ģ || i || l || ł || m || (ṃ) || n || ņ || o || p || (ṕ) || r || (ṛ) || s || ş || t || u || v || (ṿ) || z || (ẓ) |- |align="center"|''Sound (IPA)'' || {{IPA|[a]}} || {{IPA|[b]}} || {{IPA|[bʲ]}} || {{IPA|[k]}} || {{IPA|[ʧ]}} || {{IPA|[d]}} || {{IPA|[e]}} || {{IPA|[ə]}} || {{IPA|[f]}} || {{IPA|[fʲ]}} || {{IPA|[g]}} || {{IPA|[ʤ]}} || {{IPA|[i]}} || {{IPA|[l]}} || {{IPA|[ʎ]}} || {{IPA|[m]}} || {{IPA|[mʲ]}} || {{IPA|[n]}} || {{IPA|[ŋ]}} || {{IPA|[o]}} || {{IPA|[p]}} || {{IPA|[pʲ]}} || {{IPA|[r]}} || {{IPA|[rʲ]}} || {{IPA|[s]}} || {{IPA|[ʃ]}} || {{IPA|[t]}} || {{IPA|[u]}} || {{IPA|[v]}} || {{IPA|[vʲ]}} || {{IPA|[ʣ]}}, {{IPA|[ʦ]}} || {{IPA|[ʣʲ]}}, {{IPA|[ʦʲ]}} |} ====Palatalization==== Palatalization can affect every consonant. So each consonant has a palatalized counterpart. These are the couples: {| class="wikitable" |align="center"|''Non palatalized'' || b || c || d || f || g || l || m || n || p || r || s || t || v || z |- |align="center"|''Palatalized'' || (ḅ) || ç || ģ || (ḟ) || ģ || ł || (ṃ) || ņ || (ṕ) || (ṛ) || ş || ç || (ṿ) || (ẓ) |} ==Morphology== Morphology doesn't differ too much from the original Italian one, even if some parts, like verbs, underwent deep changes. ===Articles=== ====Definited==== The definited articles are: {| class="wikitable" ! || Masculine || Feminine |- |''Singular'' || ël || le |- |''Plural'' || łë || lë |} These articles developped a new final or initial '''ë''', because the correct development would have given a simple '''l''', which cannot easily said. The definite articles usually merge with some prepositions to form one combined form: the '''articled prepositions''': {| class="wikitable" ! ||colspan=2| Singular ||colspan=2| Plural |- | || ''masc'' || ''femm'' || ''masc'' || ''femm'' |- |'''dë''' (of) || dël || dële || dëł || dël |- |'''a''' (to) || al || ale || ał || al |- |'''de''' (from) || del || dele || deł || del |- |'''ën''' (in) || nel || nele || neł || nel |- |'''sur''' (on) || sul || sule || suł || sul |} ====Indefinited==== The indefinited articles are: {| class="wikitable" ! || Masculine || Feminine |- |''Singular'' || un || une |} ===Nouns=== The nouns, or substantives, developped a new system to build their plural, due to the loss of the final vowels. One of the main feature of this system is ''palatalization''. {| class="wikitable" ! Singular ending || Plural formation || Particularities |- | ''-no ending'' || They '''palatalize''' the last consonant || ''-t'' → '''-ç'''<br>''-c'' → '''-ç'''<br>''-st'' → '''-ş'''<br>''-şt'' → '''-ş'''<br>''-d'' → '''-ģ'''<br>''-l'' → '''-ł'''<br>''-n'' → '''-ņ'''<br> |- | ''-e'' || They '''drop the vowel''' || |- | ''-i'' || They '''drop the vowel''' and '''palatalize''' the last consonant || Singular: ''-ci'' → plural: '''-ç'''<br>Singular: ''-sci'' → '''-ş'''<br> |} There are some irregular names: * child: ''bëmbin'' → children: ''bimḅ'' * man: ''om'' → men: ''omiņ'' ===Adjectives=== ====Demonstrative==== Demonstrative pronouns underwent deep changes, because of the vowel loss. The pronoun ''ştoci'' is an union of ''şto-'' (from ''questo'', this) and ''-ci'' (from ''qui'', here), because the simple derived form would be too small. ''Cel'' is a regular derivation of ''quello''. {| class="wikitable" ! ''This''|| Singular|| Plural |- | Masculine || ştoci || şici |- | Feminine || şteci || ştëci |} {| class="wikitable" ! ''That''|| Singular|| Plural |- | Masculine || cel || ceł |- | Feminine || cele || cel |} ====Possessive==== The ancient possessive system disappeared, and the forms were reduced to a single word for both two genres and two numbers. They are always placed before their nouns. Differently from their English counterparts, they may require the article before them, both definite and indefinite. {| class="wikitable" ! Person || Possessive adjective |- | ''1st sing'' || mi |- | ''2nd sing'' || tu |- | ''3rd sing''<br><small>(masculine)</small> || su |- | ''3rd sing''<br><small>(feminine)</small> || su |- | ''1nd plur'' || noştŗ |- | ''2nd plur'' || voştŗ |- | ''3nd plur'' || lor |} Examples: * This is our home: ''Şteci ei le noştŗ case'' * She talked with a friend of mine: ''La à përlat con un mi ëmic''<br> but * Your mother wants to talk with you: ''Tu madër vol përlar con të'' ===Pronouns=== ====Personal pronouns==== {| class="wikitable" ! Person || Subject form<br>Nominative form || Long direct object form <br>Long accusative form|| Short direct object form<br>Short accusative form || Indirect object form<br>Dative form |- | ''1st sing'' || I || më || mi || mi |- | ''2nd sing'' || tu || të || çi || çi |- | ''3rd sing''<br><small>(masculine)</small> || eł || lu || lë || łi |- | ''3rd sing''<br><small>(feminine)</small> || la || lei || le || łi |- | ''1nd plur'' || noaltŗ || noi || ni || ni |- | ''2nd plur'' || voaltŗ || voi || vi || vi |- | ''3nd plur'' || lor || lor || lor || łi |} Also personal pronouns suffered of the general vowel loss, but often some final vowels have been restored by speakers under the influence of analogy, because those forms would have been too short or confused. The accusative group of pronouns is divided in two subgroups: ''Long forms'' and ''Short forms''. Usually long forms are found with prepositions, while short forms are used with verbs in the sentences. Examples: * Do you see us?: ''Tu ni veģ?'' * She will come with you: ''La à dë venir con të'' Usually short forms are stressless and they need another word which can substain them. They are usually placed before the verb in the sentence. The dative form express the meaning of the indirect object, which can also be expressed by the preposition '''''a''''' (to). It's possible to find both forms in sentences, used to make stronger the meaning of the dative form. As short accusative forms, dative forms are stressless and they need to be placed before the verb. Examples: * I tell you that he didn't tell him anything: ''I ti dic çë eł no łi à dest nient'' * I like it: ''A më mi piaç'' (instead of simple ''Mi piaç'') ====Relative pronouns==== There is only one kind of relative pronoun. The ancient relative pronoun ''che'' disappeared, and the other form ''il quale'' could develop instead, with some vowels reconstructed by analogy. {| class="wikitable" ! || Singular || Plural |- | ''Masc.'' || ëlcal || icał |- | ''Femm.'' || lecal || lëcal |} ====Interrogative pronouns==== These are the most common interrogative pronouns: * Who?: ''çi'' * What?: ''çë'' / ''cecòs'' * Which?: ''cal'' (plur: ''cał'') * How much?: ''cant'' (plur mas: ''canç'' / sing fem: ''cante'' / plur fem: ''cant'') * Where?: ''ndë'' * When?: ''cand'' * Why?: ''percè'' * How?: ''com'' ''Çë'' and ''Cant'' can be used as adjectives before some nouns. ''Cal'' is usually used as adjective. ''Cecos'' is a neuter form to indicate something indefinite: * What do you want?: ''Cecos tu vu?'' ===Verbs=== Also verbs suffered the loss of the final vowels. But the greatest loss has been the loss of the Italian ''passato remoto'', the disappearing of subjunctive and the loss of the old future forms, replaced by a new analythic form of future tense. Due to the vowel loss it is usually required the presence of personal pronouns (it switched from the position of a pro-drop language to the one of a non-pro-drop language). Verbs are divided in 3 conjugation, depending on the infinitival ending: * 1 conjugation: '''-ar''' * 2 conjugation: '''-er''' * 3 conjugation: '''-ir''' The third conjugation has a subgroup inside, the so-called '''-isc form''' (Verbs of this group differ from the others in some forms of present tense and in imperative forms). There are three verbal moods (''indicative'', ''conditional'' and ''imperative''), six tenses (''present'', ''imperfect'', ''perfect'', ''plusquamperfect'', ''future'' and ''anterior future'') and one infinitive form and two participles (''present'' and ''past'') ====Indicative mood==== '''Present''' The present tense is one of the most irregular tenses of the entire verbal system. Most of all irregularities are in the first three persons and in the third person in plural. The sign '''-Ø''' means that there is no ending. {| class="wikitable" ! || 1 conjugation || 2 conjugation || 3 conjugation || 3 -isc form || Particularities |- | ''1st sing'' || '''-Ø''' || '''-Ø''' || '''-Ø''' || -ìsc || |- | ''2nd sing'' || '''-Ø''' || '''-Ø''' || '''-Ø''' || -ìş || The previous consonant usually undergoes ''palatalization'',<br> except for the ''-isc'' group |- | ''3rd sing'' || '''-e''' || '''-Ø''' || '''-Ø''' || -ìş || |- | ''1st plur'' || -iàm || -iàm || -iàm || -iàm || |- | ''2nd plur'' || -àt || -èt || -ìt || -ìt || |- | ''3rd plur'' || '''-an''' || '''-on''' || '''-on''' || -ìscon || |} The bold endings have no stress, and this fall on the previous vowel. This can lead to a change in the verbal root (mind the change ''a → ë'' and ''open e → ei'', which usually was under stress). Some examples: {| class="wikitable" ! || cëntar || sentir |- | ''1st sing'' || '''cànt''' || '''sèint''' |- | ''2nd sing'' || '''cànç''' || '''sèinç''' |- | ''3rd sing'' || '''cànte''' || '''sèint''' |- | ''1st plur'' || cëntiàm || sentiàm |- | ''2nd plur'' || cëntàt || sentìt |- | ''3rd plur'' || '''càntan''' || '''sèinton''' |} '''Imperfect''' This past tense indicates a continuos action, a repeated action, or that the action is on run in the moment we are speaking about. {| class="wikitable" ! || 1 conjugation || 2 conjugation || 3 conjugation |- | ''1st sing'' || -àv || -èv || -ìv |- | ''2nd sing'' || -àṿ || -èṿ || -ìṿ |- | ''3rd sing'' || -àve || -ève || -ìve |- | ''1st plur'' || -ëvàm || -evàm || -ivàm |- | ''2nd plur'' || -ëvàt || -evàt || -ivàt |- | ''3rd plur'' || -àvan || -èvan || -ìvan |} '''Perfect''' This tense indicates an unidentified action in the past, already completed. It is built with the conjugated forms in the present of the auxiliary verb '''ëvèr''' or '''èser''' + the past participle (declined in presence of ''eser''). Examples: * I sang: ''I ò cëntat'' * We went: ''Noaltŗ siam ëndaç'' '''Plusquamperfect''' This tense indicates an action placed in the past of another past action. It is built with the conjugated forms in the imperfect of the auxiliary verb '''ëvèr''' or '''èser''' + the past participle (declined in presence of ''eser''). Examples: * I had sung: ''I ëvev cëntat'' * We had gone: ''Noaltŗ eirim ëndaç'' '''Future''' The future tense is built with the declined forms of the auxiliary verb '''ëver''' + '''dë''' (''d<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' in front of a vowel) + the '''infinitive form''' of the main verb. Examples: * I will sing: ''I ò dë cëntar'' * We will go: ''Noaltŗ ëbiam d'ëndar'' '''Anterior future''' The anterior future tense indicates an action which happens before another future action. It is built with the declined forms of the auxiliary verb '''ëver''' + '''dë''' (''d<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' in front of a vowel) + '''ëver'''/'''eser''' (the main verb's auxiliary verb) + the '''past participle''' of the main verb. Examples: * I will have sung: ''I ò d'ëver cëntat'' * We will have gone: ''Noaltŗ ëbiam d'eser ëndaç'' ====Conditional==== '''Present''' The conditional present tense is built by adding the following endings at the infinitive forms of the verbs. For verbs of the first conjugation, the adfix ''-ar-'' becomes '''-er-''' before adding. {| class="wikitable" ! || Endings |- | ''1st sing'' || -èi |- | ''2nd sing'' || -èş |- | ''3rd sing'' || -èib |- | ''1st plur'' || -èm |- | ''2nd plur'' || -èşt |- | ''3rd plur'' || -èiber |} Some examples: * I would sing: ''I cënterei'' * We will spend: ''Noaltŗ spenderem'' * They would listen: ''Lor sentireiber'' '''Past''' The conditional present indicates an action placed in the past of an action expressed by the conditional present, or usually indicate an action placed in the past of a future moment, or an hypothesis. It is built with the conjugated forms in the present conditional of the auxiliary verb '''ëvèr''' or '''èser''' + the past participle (declined in presence of ''eser''). Examples: * I would have sung: ''I ëvrei cëntat'' * We would have gone: ''Noaltŗ sërem ëndaç'' ====Imperative mood==== The imperative mood indicates orders. There is only the present tense. As the indicative present tense, it retains many irregularities. {| class="wikitable" ! || 1 conjugation || 2 conjugation || 3 conjugation || 3 -isc form || Particularities |- | ''2nd sing'' || '''-e''' || '''-Ø''' || '''-Ø''' || -ìş || The previous consonant usually undergoes ''palatalization'',<br> except for 1st conjugation and the ''-isc'' group. |- | ''3rd sing'' || '''-Ø''' || '''-e''' || '''-e''' || -ìsce || The previous consonant in the 1st conjugation undergoes palatalization. |- | ''1st plur'' || -iàm || -iàm || -iàm || -iàm || |- | ''2nd plur'' || -àt || -èt || -ìt || -ìt || |- | ''3rd plur'' || '''-in''' || '''-an''' || '''-an''' || -ìscan || |} The sign '''-Ø''' means that there is no ending. The bold endings have no stress, and this fall on the previous vowel. This can lead to a change in the verbal root (mind the change ''a → ë'' and ''open e → ei'', which usually was under stress). Some examples: {| class="wikitable" ! || cëntar || sentir |- | ''2nd sing'' || '''cànte''' || '''sèinç''' |- | ''3rd sing'' || '''cànç''' || '''sèinte''' |- | ''1st plur'' || cëntiàm || sentiàm |- | ''2nd plur'' || cëntàt || sentìt |- | ''3rd plur'' || '''càntin''' || '''sèintan''' |} ====Participle==== '''Present''' The past participle is an adjective form of the verb and can be used as adjective, but it is used also in tense formation. It is formed by adding these endings to the root: {| class="wikitable" ! || 1st conj || 2nd conj || 3rd conj |- | ''sing'' || -ànt || -èint || -ièint |- | ''plur'' || -ànç || -èinç || -ièinç |} The present participle is an adjective but it is most frequently used to form a progressive mood of verbs, similar to the English continous tenses. It is formed with the verb '''ştar''' + the ''present participle'' (declined by number): * What are you doing?: ''Cecos tu şta façeint?'' * They are eating: ''Lor ştan manģanç'' '''Past''' The past participle is an adjective form of the verb and can be used as adjective, but it is used also in past tense formation. It is formed by adding these endings to the root (which often is irregular in many irregular verbs): {| class="wikitable" ! || 1st conj || 2nd conj || 3rd conj |- | ''masc sing'' || -àt || -ùt || -ìt |- | ''masc plur'' || -àç || -ùç || -ìç |- | ''femm sing'' || -àte || -ùte || -ìte |- | ''femm plur'' || -àt || -ùt || -ìt |} ====Auxiliary verbs==== There are two auxiliary verbs: '''èser''' (to be) and '''ëvèr''' (to have). Not as in English, both they are used in building past tenses. '''Use''': Usually all ''transitive'' verbs (which have an ''object'') and some intransitive verbs have ''ëver'' as auxiliary, while verbs, which have ''eser'', are always ''intransitive''. These verbs usually have meanings of ''self-movement'', ''feeling'', ''location''. ''Eser'' is used also in the formation of passive. {| class="wikitable" ! Éser || Present || Imperfect || Perfect || Plusquamperfect |- | ''1st sing'' || sò || eir || sò ştat || eir ştat |- | ''2nd sing'' || sè || eiŗ || sè ştat || eiŗ ştat |- | ''3rd sing'' || èi || eire || èi ştat || eire ştat |- | ''1st plur'' || siàm || eirim || siàm ştaç || eirim ştaç |- | ''2nd plur'' || sèit || eirit || seit ştaç || eirit ştaç |- | ''3rd plur'' || sòn || eiran || sòn ştaç || eiran ştaç |- ! || Future || Anterior Future || Conditional || Conditional past |- | ''1st sing'' || ò d'eser || ò d'eser ştat || sërèi || sërèi ştat |- | ''2nd sing'' || à d'eser || à d'eser ştat || sërèş || sërèş ştat |- | ''3rd sing'' || à d'eser || à d'eser ştat || sërèib || sërèib ştat |- | ''1st plur'' || ëbian d'eser || ëbian d'eser ştaç || sërèm || sërèm ştaç |- | ''2nd plur'' || ëvet d'eser || ëvet d'eser ştaç || sërèşt || sërèşt ştaç |- | ''3rd plur'' || àn d'eser || àn d'eser ştaç || sërèiber || sërèiber ştaç |- ! || Imperative || || Present participle || Past participle |- | ''2nd sing'' || sì || ''sing masc'' || - || ştat |- | ''3rd sing'' || sì || ''sing fem'' || - || ştate |- | ''1st plur'' || siàm || ''plur masc'' || - || ştaç |- | ''2nd plur'' || siàt || ''plur fem'' || - || ştat |} {| class="wikitable" ! Éser || Present || Imperfect || Perfect || Plusquamperfect |- | ''1st sing'' || ò || ëvev || ò ëvut || ëvev ëvut |- | ''2nd sing'' || à || ëveṿ || à ëvut || ëveṿ ëvut |- | ''3rd sing'' || à || ëveve || à ëvut || ëveve ëvut |- | ''1st plur'' || ëbiàm || ëvevam || ëbiàm ëvut || ëvevam ëvut |- | ''2nd plur'' || ëvet || ëvevat || ëvet ëvut || ëvevat ëvut |- | ''3rd plur'' || àn || ëvevan || àn ëvut || ëvevan ëvut |- ! || Future || Anterior Future || Conditional || Conditional past |- | ''1st sing'' || ò d'ëver || ò d'ëver ëvut || ëvrèi || ëvrèi ëvut |- | ''2nd sing'' || à d'ëver || à d'ëver ëvut || ëvrèş || ëvrèş ëvut |- | ''3rd sing'' || à d'ëver || à d'ëver ëvut || ëvrèib || ëvrèib ëvut |- | ''1st plur'' || ëbian d'ëver || ëbian d'ëver ëvut || ëvrèm || ëvrèm ëvut |- | ''2nd plur'' || ëbet d'ëver || ëbet d'ëver ëvut || ëvrèşt || ëvrèşt ëvut |- | ''3rd plur'' || àn d'ëver || àn d'ëver ëvut || ëvrèiber || ëvrèiber ëvut |- ! || Imperative || || Present participle || Past participle |- | ''2nd sing'' || àbi || ''sing masc'' || ëvent || ëvut |- | ''3rd sing'' || àbi || ''sing fem'' || ëvent || ëvute |- | ''1st plur'' || ëbiàm || ''plur masc'' || ëvenç || ëvuç |- | ''2nd plur'' || ëbiàt || ''plur fem'' || ëvenç || ëvut |} Usually, when the auxiliary verb is ''eser'', past particles agree in genre and number with the subject: * We went home: ''Noaltŗ siam ëndaç a case'' * She was born in Rome: ''La ei nate ën Rome'' ====Reflexive verbs==== Reflexive verbs are verbs whose action falls on their own subject, or the subject makes the action on itself or for itself. The auxiliary verb for past tense formation is always ''eser''. A large part of normal transitive verbs can become reflexive by adding the following pronouns or the following endings. Usually with normal tenses there are these pronouns, placed before the verb: {| class="wikitable" ! Person || Reflexive pronouns |- | ''1st sing'' || mi |- | ''2nd sing'' || çi |- | ''3rd sing'' || si |- | ''1nd plur'' || ni |- | ''2nd plur'' || vi |- | ''3nd plur'' || si |} Examples:<br> * I wash myself: ''I mi lav''. * Her name is... (she is called...): ''La si çam...'' With the infinitive this pronouns become endings, added in the end of the word. They are: {| class="wikitable" ! Person || Reflexive endings |- | ''1st sing'' || -ṃ |- | ''2nd sing'' || -ç |- | ''3rd sing'' || -ş |- | ''1nd plur'' || -ņ |- | ''2nd plur'' || -ṿ |- | ''3nd plur'' || -ş |} Example: * He wanted to wash himself: ''Eł voleve lëvarş'' But you can find the pronoun moved before the first verb, without changing the general meaning: * He wanted to wash himself: ''Eł si voleve lëvar'' In dictionary you will find the 3rd singular form of the infinitive (ex: ''lëvarş'') for reflexive verbs. ====Irregular verbs==== Itëłan is very full of irregular verbs, most of all born after the phonetic changes. Here we'll give a list of the most common irregular verbs. Usually irregular forms are only in some tenses, and we will give only those forms. (''Pres'': present tense; ''Imperf'': imperfect; ''Cond'': conditional present; ''Part pres'': present participle; ''Part pass'': past participle) * ''Ber'' - to drink - ''pres'': bev, beṿ, bev, beviam, bevet, bevon; ''imperf'': bevev, beveṿ, beveve, bevevam, bevevat, bevevan; ''part pres'': beveint; ''part pass'': bevut * ''Dar'' - to give - ''pres'': do, da, da, diam, dat, dan; ''imperf'': dav, daṿ, dave, dëvam, dëvat, davan; ''cond'': dërei, dëreş, dëreib, dërem, dëreşt, dëreiber; ''part pass'': dat * ''Dir'' - to say - ''pres'': dic, diç, diç, diçam, dit, dicon; ''imperf'': diçev, diçeṿ, diçeve, diçevam, diçevat, diçevan; ''part pres'': diçeint; ''part pass'': dest * ''Ëndar'' - to go - ''pres'': vo, va, va, ëndiam, ëndat, van; ''cond'': ëndrei, ëndreş, ëndreib, ëndrem, ëndreşt, ëndreiber * ''Far'' - to do - ''pres'': faç, fa, fa, fëçàm, fat, fan; ''imperf'': fëçev, fëçeṿ, fëçeve, fëçevàm, fëçevat, fëçèvan; ''cond'', farei, fareş, fareib, farem, fareşt, fareiber; ''part pres'': façeint; ''part pass'': fast * ''Poter'' - to can - ''pres'': pos, pò, pol, posiam, potet, poson; ''cond'': potrei, potreş, potreib, potrem, potreşt, potreiber * ''Sëper'' - to know - ''pres'': so, sa, sa, sëpiam, sëpet, san; ''cond'': sëprei, sëpreş, sëpreib, sëprem, sëpreşt, sëpreiber; ''part pres'': sapieint * ''Ştar'' - to stay - ''pres'': şto, şta, şta, ştiam, ştat, ştan; ''imperf'': ştav, ştaṿ, ştave, ştëvam, ştëvat, ştavan; ''cond'': ştërei, ştëreş, ştëreib, ştërem, ştëreşt, ştëreiber; ''part pass'': ştat * ''Veder'' - to see - ''cond'': vedrei, vedreş, vedreib, vedrem, vedreşt, vedreiber; ''part pass'': vişt * ''Venir'' - to come - ''pres'': veing, vieņ, vien, veniam, venit, veingon; ''cond'': verei, vereş, vereib, verem, vereşt, vereiber * ''Voler'' - to want - ''pres'': voł, vu, vol, vołam, volet, vołon; ''cond'': vorei, voreş, voreib, vorem, voreşt, voreiber; '''Half-irregular verbs''' We created this separated list because many of these verbs have no real irregularities, but they are only affected by the phonetical change under stress. There are two group: # These verbs are affected by the change '''''a'' → ''ë'''''. At the first three persons and in the third plural person in the present tense, the stress fall on the root syllable of these verbs, and the ancient ''a'' is restored. An example is the verb ''cëntar''. # These verbs are affected by the change '''''open e'' → ''ei'''''. As the previous group, at the first three persons and in the third plural person in the present tense, the stress fall on the root syllable of these verbs; usually under stress the ancient ''closed e'' turned into ''open e'' and thus became the diphtong '''ei'''. An example is the verb ''sentir''. {| class="wikitable" ! || cëntar || sentir |- | ''1st sing'' || '''cànt''' || '''sèint''' |- | ''2nd sing'' || '''cànç''' || '''sèinç''' |- | ''3rd sing'' || '''cànte''' || '''sèint''' |- | ''1st plur'' || cëntiàm || sentiàm |- | ''2nd plur'' || cëntàt || sentìt |- | ''3rd plur'' || '''càntan''' || '''sèinton''' |} * ''Group 1'': bëlar, cëder, cëntar, çëmar, ëmar, lëvar, mënģar, përlar * ''Group 2'': pensar, sentir ===Padër noştŗ - Lord's pray=== :Padër noştŗ, ëlcal sè ën çeil :Sì sëntificat ël Tu nom :Veinge ël Tu reņ :Sì fate le Tu volontè :Ştomod ën çel, ştomod ën teire :Dani oģ ël noştŗ pan cotidian :E rimeiç a noi łë noştŗ debiç :Ştomod com noaltŗ lor rimetiam ał noştŗ debitoŗ :E no ni portar ën tentësion :Me ni libere del mal :Amen ===Le tor dë Bëbel - Babel text=== Tute le teire përlave le ştese linge e usave lë ştes përol.

It is denoted in the [[IPA]] by a subscript <h>: [ʰ]. There are two main types: ==Postaspiration== By far the most common type of aspiration is postaspiration of voiceless stops. Postaspirated voiceless stops (and affricates) are found phonemically in many languages, including eg. most of the [[Indo-Aryan]], Caucasian, and [[Na-Dene]] families. They are found allophonic to plain voiceless stops in eg. [[Germanic languages]]. They are rather stable but may decay to fricatives (likely via a brief affricate stage, the remains of which still exist in e.g. [[German]]). A less usual outcome is [[buccal]]ization of the aspiration, which produces clusters of stop/affricate + a dorsal fricativ /x/ or /χ/, as found in eg. [[Navajo]]. Aspirated voiced stops are less common. Usually this involves [[breathy voice]] on the actual stop portion and/or during the release, which may be captured by the IPA symbol [ʱ]. They're reconstructed for [[Proto-Indo-European]] and survive in the Indo-Aryan branch (alongside the newer voiceless aspirate stops). Their fate in the other branches demonstrates their greiter instability: they became voiceless (post)aspirates in [[Greek]] and [[Italic]], voiced spirants in [[Iranian]] and plain voiced stops in most other branches. (The last scenario may however be misleading, since these voiced aspirates most likely originate from pre-IE plain voiced stops, and so some branches may have never had them at all.) Voiced aspirates are passingly recorded in other language families, too, usually as an intermediate stage on a pathway from voiced stops to voiceless aspirated stops. Currently they can be found in eg. southern Bantu languages such as [[Xhosa]]. Aspirated continuants are rare, but attested. Two examples are [[Burmese]] (with /sʰ/) and [[Sanskrit]] (with aspirated liquids). ==Preaspiration== Preaspirated consonants are basically limited to voiceless stops in the postvocalic position. This is a rather unstable type, and will easily decay to a sequence of stop + homorganic fricativ (e.g. [ʰk] → [xk]) or plain voiceless stops (possibly with compensatory lengthening of a preceding vowel). Preaspiration may very rarely contrast with postaspiration, but a more common pattern is (medial) preaspiration being allophonic with (initial) postaspiration. Preaspiration can rise from the lenition of voiceless fricativs (e.g. [sk] → [ʰk]) but also from gemination and possibly preglottalization. ==Sound changes== ===To=== Plosives become aspirated in these conditions: */ _[Laryngeal] in Sanskrit */ _ in Armenian (voiceless became voiced, voiceless aspirated lost aspiration) */ _h (''example?'') ===From=== Aspirated plosives can become: * Unaspirated * Fricatives in numerous conditions: ** / V_ in Avestan ** / V_V in Old Irish and Gothic ===Source=== Silverman, Daniel (2002): ''[http://www.seedyroad.com/academics/cls38.pdf On the rarity of preaspirated stops]'', Journal of Linguistics #39 / 2003.

It is a decedent of [[Old West Norse]]. {{Language| | English = Norwegian | native = Norsk | dialect english = | country = Norway | nativecountry = Norge /(Nynosrk) Noreg | universe = Real world | speakers = 4.8 million native. | family = [[Indo-European]] | branch = [[Germanic]] | subbranch = [[North Germanic]] <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[West Old Norse]] | wordorder = SVO, OVS/V2 | type = Isolating (mostly) | alignment = nominative-accusative | author = unknown | date = 1525 C.E. | background = white | headingbg = red | width = 33% }} =Norway= The primary location where Norwegian is spoken is in Norway. The name Norway in English comes from the Anglo-Saxon name '''Norðweg''' meaning '''North-way'''. This is also seen in [[Old Norse]] in the word '''Norðmaðr''' which means both '''North-man''' and '''Norwegian''' (in that sense they might be one in the same). [[Image:Norsk svensk and dansk.png|right|thumb]] Norwegian has two standards, '''Nynorsk''' and the more popular written variation '''Bokmål'''. Norwegian Orthography is very close to that of [[Danish]], because for a long time the Danish had control over Norway. However, the spoken language is closer to Swedish. This means [[Swedish]] and Norwegian people would more easily understand each other in conversation, while Danish and Norwegian people would better understand each other's written languages. Danish speakers can understand Norwegian better than the reverse, due to Norwegian having a different phonetic structure to orthographic spellings. This makes Norwegian as a language dead center between Swedish and Danish. =Phonetics and Phonology= ==Consonants== {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod.||colspan=2| Alveolar||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2|Retroflex ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || ɳ || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || ʈ || ɖ || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || {{IPA|s}} || || {{IPA|ʃ}} || || ʂ || || || ç || || || h |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || {{IPA|ʦ}} || || (ʧ) || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || || || || || || || || || || || j |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} || || || || (ɽ) || || || || (ʀ) |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} || || || || ɭ |} </div> * Most of the letters are identical with their IPA equivalents, such as: b, p, t, d, f, v, j, h, s, l, r, m, and n. * When an '''r''' is in front of another consonant, it can make it retroflex these include '''rs''' /ʂ/, '''rt''' /ʈ/, '''rd''' /ɖ/, '''rl''' /ɭ/, and '''rn''' /ɳ/.

However, in many of the later stages and most of the modern dialects, the Masculine and Feminine genders have merged into a Common gender. However, even in '''Bokmål''' the feminine gender does occasionally exist. Because around 75% of nouns were once Masculine or Feminine, that is the amount which is Common, leaving 25% for the Neuter gender. The feminine gender does in ===Number=== There are two numbers in Norwegian: Singular and Plural. Singular is the usual state of the noun, and the form found in the dictionary. The Plural is formed by adding '''-er''' to the end of the noun. In neuter nouns with one syllable, the plural can be identical to the singular. ===Articles=== There are two types of articles for English, Indefinite and Definite. The number also comes into play, the indefinite plural is mentioned above. The definite articles in Norwegian are attached to the end of the noun. The indefinite article would go before the noun. The Common form is '''en''', and '''et''' for the Neuter form. So to say ''a dog'' it is '''en hund''', and ''the dog'' is '''hunden'''. And to say ''a hotel'' it is '''et hotell''', and ''the hotel'' is '''hotellet'''. In the plural, the informal ending is '''-er''' and the formal ending is '''-ene'''. So to say ''dogs'' it is '''hunder''', and ''the dogs'' is '''hundene'''. And to say ''hotels'' it is '''hoteller''', and ''the hotels'' is '''hotellene'''. In monosyllabic neuter nouns, the indefinite plural ending '''-er''' is not present, though all other forms are. So the singular form in the indefinite of ''a house'' is '''et hus''' and the plural indefinite form of ''house'' is just '''hus''', with the definite being '''huset''' and '''husene''' in the plural. Quite a few Norwegian nouns have a irregular forms. ===Genitive=== [[Old Norse]], like its (sometimes distant) relatives [[Old English]], [[Icelandic]], and [[High German]], had a complex series of cases that would be used for every noun. All of them had around four (Old English had the remnants of a 5th, which later died away) and were as follows: Nominative (subject), Accusative (direct object), Dative (indirect object), and Genitive (possessives). However, in modern Norwegian, like Danish and Swedish, the first three cases were merged into one, and the Genitive somehow survived (like in [[Modern English]]). The ending, similar to English, is '''-s'''. ===Noun Paradigm=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! ! Indef. sing. ! Def. sing. ! Indef. pl. ! Def. pl. |- | '''Common''' || en hund || hunden || hunder || hundene |- | '''Neuter polysyllabic''' || et hotell || hotellet || hoteller || hotellene |- | '''Nt. Monosyllabic''' || et hus || huset || hus || husene |} ==Adjectives== Adjectives agree with nouns according to gender, definiteness, and number. There is a Common indefinite, Neuter indefinite, and everything else (which all have the same form). The common indefinite form is usually the root of the adjective. The Neuter indefinite article often has an ending of '''-t'''. For everything else, such as indefinite plural, definite plural, definite common, and definite neuter, the ending '''-e''' is the regular ending. There are several forms which do not take the proper endings, such as forms which end with '''-ig''' or in most cases, '''-sk''' which don't have a neuter indefinite form, but does have the '''-e''' in the plural. There are also those which add '''-tt''' in the neuter indefinite, especially if its stem ends in a vowel and the vowel length must be preserved. Some have to convert the last consonant in words ending with two consonants, into a '''t'''. An example might be '''sunn''' to '''sunt'''. ===Adjectives with articles=== In the cases of the indefinite article, the normal article is added before the adjective, such as '''en god hund''', ''' et godt hotell''', or '''gode hunder''' . However, in the definite cases, something new is added. In these cases, a definite article is used before the adjective. The normal definite article is added to the end, as well as this additional article. So the examples above become '''de gode hunden''', '''det gode hotellet''' or '''de gode hundene'''. ===Adjective Paradigm=== Using '''god''' ''good''. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! ! Indef. sing. ! Def. sing. ! Indef. pl. !

Monosyllabic''' || et godt hus || det gode huset || gode hus || de gode husene |} ==Adverbs== Most adverbs that are formed from Adjectives use the neuter form, so '''god''' ''good'', becomes '''godt''' ''well''. Another major ending for adverbs is '''-vis''', with examples such as '''gradvis''' ''gradually''. There are several other adverbs which have their own specific meanings and usages, such as the negation '''ikke''' ''not'', '''nå''' ''now'', '''lenge''' ''long'', and '''alltid''' ''always''. <br> <br> Some adverbs change form depending on if the verb is a verb of motion or not. Most of the differences involve the suffix '''-e''', but others such as '''her''' vs. '''hit''' ''here'' and '''der''' vs. '''dit''' ''there'' are a bit more irregular. Examples of this might be: <br> '''Komm hit!''' ''Come here!'' '''Jeg er her.'''

There are quite a few exceptions to this rule, such as if the root of the verb is different than the infinitive form (irregular), such as '''å være''' (''to be'', whose present form is '''er'''). For monosyllabic verbs, the root is the form given, and since almost all Norwegian verbs end with a vowel, these usually don't need the '''-e''' suffix. Examples include '''å se''' ''to see'', '''å bo''' ''to live''. <br> =====Four Classes===== * The first form, or class I, is a large class of verb and includes most verbs with the stem having a double consonant (gemminated or not) at the end. * Another large class is class II, which has a long vowel and a single consonant in the stem. Many in this category can end with '''ll''', '''mm''', '''nn''', '''ld''', or '''nd'''. The gemminated ones often drop the second one in the past tense. * Class III ends with a diphthong or '''-g''' or '''-v'''. * Class IV ends with a stressed vowel. ===Present=== Norwegian verbs are not distinctive according to person and number in the subject. This means that the subject is required in order for the sentence to be understood. The verbs '''å være''' ''to be'' and '''å ha''' ''to have'' are important verbs that also do not make a distinction according to person and number. A few verbs have irregular forms in the present tense. Here are some examples, one from each of the four classes, with pronouns included: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Present tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å snakke''' ''to speak'' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''å like''' ''to like'' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å prøve''' ''to try'' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''å bo''' ''to live'' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || jeg snakker || vi snakker || jeg liker || vi liker || jeg prøver || vi prøver || jeg bor || vi bor |- | '''2nd person''' || du snakker || dere snakker || du liker || dere liker || du prøver || dere prøver || du bor || dere bor |- | '''3rd person''' || han/hun snakker || de snakker || han/hun liker || de liker || han/hun prøver || de prøver || han/hun bor || de bor |} ===Future=== The future tense is formed in Norwegian in a similar way to the way it is formed in English. It uses modal verbs, specially '''vil''' and '''skal''', which are related to English '''will''' and '''shall'''. The former, '''vil''' which is related to German '''wollen''' as well, means more along the lines of '''want''' in the future tense, and '''shall''' is more like apathetic in nature. The expression '''kommer til å''' is another one used to express the future tense, which is equivalent to English '''to be going to'''. Here are the samples using the same verbs above. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Future tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å snakke''' ''to speak'' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''å like''' ''to like'' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å prøve''' ''to try'' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''å bo''' ''to live'' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || jeg skal snakke || vi skal snakke || jeg skal like || vi skal like || jeg skal prøve || vi skal prøve || jeg skal bo || vi skal bo |- | '''2nd person''' || du skal snakke || dere skal snakke || du skal like || dere skal like || du skal prøve || dere skal prøve || du skal bo || dere skal bo |- | '''3rd person''' || han/hun skal snakke || de skal snakke || han/hun skal like || de skal like || han/hun skal prøve || de skal prøve || han/hun skal bo || de skal bo |} ===Simple Past=== This is used in a way similar to English {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Past tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å snakke''' ''to speak'' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''å like''' ''to like'' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å prøve''' ''to try'' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''å bo''' ''to live'' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || jeg snakket† || vi snakket || jeg likte || vi likte || jeg prøvde || vi prøvde || jeg bodde || vi bodde |- | '''2nd person''' || du snakket || dere snakket || du likte || dere likte || du prøvde || dere prøvde || du bodde || dere bodde |- | '''3rd person''' || han/hun snakket || de snakket || han/hun likte || de likte || han/hun prøvde || de prøvde || han/hun bodde || de bodde |} †And alternate ending is '''-a''' instead of '''-et'''. ===Present Perfect=== The perfect tense is used with the verb '''ha''' + verb form. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan="9" align="center"|'''Present Perfect tense''' |- | '''Infinitive''' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å snakke''' ''to speak'' || colspan="2" align="center"| '''å like''' ''to like'' ||colspan="2" align="center"| '''å prøve''' ''to try'' ||colspan="2" align="center"|'''å bo''' ''to live'' |- | || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. || sing. || pl. |- | '''1st person''' || jeg har snakket || vi har snakket || jeg har likt || vi har likt || jeg har prøvd || vi har prøvd || jeg har bodd || vi har bodd |- | '''2nd person''' || du har snakket | dere har snakket || du har likt || dere har likt || du har prøvd || dere har prøvd || du har bodd || dere har bodd |- | '''3rd person''' || han/hun har snakket || de har snakket || han/hun har likt || de har likt || han/hun har prøvd || de har prøvd || han/hun har bodd || de har bodd |} ===Passive Voice=== The passive voice is formed two different ways in Norwegian.

Calineg has been systematically derived from Proto-Celtic and Proto-Italic roots that best approximate a synthesis of these branches. The vocabulary also shows early pseudo-historical borrowing from Latin and later Brythonic loanwords. The alternate timeline presented in this article has been constructed in order to provide an environment necessary for the survival of the language. Calineg is spoken around the world *there* by 202.1 million people as a native language, and by about 260 to 300 million people as a second or third language. The language ranks 6th among total number of native speakers, and between 7th and 9th overall. Most native speakers live in Calen (89.6 mn), where the language originated. The rest live in Calophone South America (''ir Arianina tha Galluna'', 49.1 mn), Canada (''i Ganada'', 28.3 mn), Australia (''Tiratha'', 20.3 mn), Calophone Africa (''Afira Galluna'', 12.6 mn), Indonesia (''Idas Misra'', 2.4 mn), the United States (''Esates Eloge'', 1.9 mn), and Israel (''ir Eres'', 635 000). Calineg is an official language of 16 countries, most of which form what is know as ''i Galluna'' (The Calophone). In Calen, where fluency is a requirement for citizenship, 89.6 million people (96% of 93.1 mn) speak Calineg as their native language. According to the European Union (''Uropa Eloga''), 159 mn people (32% of 497.2 mn) speak Calineg, 92.8 mn (18.7%) as first language and 65 mn (13%) claim it as their second language, which makes it the most widely spoken mother tongue and second overall in the Union after English (''Senege''). In South America, Calineg ranks third after Portuguese (''Poriwege'') and Spanish (''Panege''), respectfully, in number of native speakers. Calineg ranks third in North America as well, after English and Spanish. See [http://home.comcast.net/~kent.willis/site/?/home/ Nosuch Galinege! ''Learn Calineg!''] for more information on the language. [[Image:Calophone.png|thumb|350px|right|The Calophone. Map of nations using Calineg as an official language.]] ==History== Proto-Calinic diverged from Proto-Italo-Celtic sometime before the first millennium B.C.E. Widely spoken across Central Europe, Common Calinic stone inscriptions have been found dating as early as the 3rd century B.C.E. Common Calinic speakers were first attested in Roman works of the 1st century B.C.E. The earliest extant sources identifiable as Calineg go back to about the 1st century C.E. Very little of the language from this period, known as Early Calineg (''Calineg fora''), remains. The next main period, somewhat better attested, is Old Calineg (''Hena Galineg'') from the 3rd to 7th centuries. The period also saw the borrowing of numerous Latin words, especially in technical language. Middle Calineg (''Calineg metha''), with its soaring epic poetry, runs into the 10th century. Modern Calineg consists of two distinct periods. It was marked by the extensive influx of Brythonic words after the incorporation of Belgium (''Gwala Felga'') in North Burgundy (''Borgone Golethole'') into Calen. Early Modern Calineg (''Calineg thiwetha bora'') officially began with the drafting of ''The Alliance of Calen and the United Burgundy'' (''ir Hocida’r Cale a’r Borgone Eloge'') in 937 C.E. Similarly, Late Modern Calineg (''Calineg thiwetha netha'') began with the drafting of the ''Unification of the Two Kingdoms'' (''Eloga’r thua Wala'') in 1475 C.E. Current linguistic debate centers over whether the modern era has ended with the widespread education and media publication that has effectively made the colloquial register the only known language of the people, and Post-Modern Calineg (''Calineg thiwetha hura'') began in the latter half of the 20th century. ==Registers== Modern Calineg can be written in two styles — the ''colloquial'' register (''Calineg galida'') and the ''literary'' register (''Calineg ica''). The colloquial register is used for everyday speech, by the media, and in informal writing. Literary Calineg is closer to the form used since the beginning of the late modern period and is used in official documents and in higher education. As a standardized form, the literary language shows little of the dialectal variation found in the colloquial language. The primary differences include: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Literary ! Colloquial |- | Extensive use of simple verb forms | Extensive use of periphrastic verb forms |- | Subjunctive verb forms | Subjunctive in fixed idioms |- | Common use of all mutational forms. | Varied use of nasal and aspirate mutations. |- | Free word order. | Strict VSO word order. |- |} Consider these examples: '''Menath fing hosas arweni.'''

Monosyllabic words are always treated as stressed. Because of a shift in stress position, related words may sound very different as declension, conjugation or compound formation change the word length. Stress on penultimate syllables is characterized by a low pitch, which is followed by a high pitch on the (unstressed) word-final syllable. ==Morphology== ===Mutation=== Initial consonant mutation is a phenomenon common to Calinic and Celtic languages. The first consonant of a word in Calineg may change depending on grammatical context or when preceded ("triggered") by certain words. Calineg has three mutations: the soft mutation (hence SM), the nasal mutation (NM), and the aspirate mutation (AM). These are also represented in writing: :{| class="wikitable" |- style="background: #efefef;" ! Radical ! Soft ! Nasal ! Aspirate |- | p | b | m h | f |- | b | f | m | |- | t | d | n h | th |- | d | th | n | |- | c | g | ng h | ch |- | g | * | ng | |- | lh | l | | |- | rh | r | | |- | m | | | m h |- | n | | | n h |} *A blank cell indicates no change. *Note: /g/ disappears. *Letters not listed under the category “radical” do not undergo mutation. For example, the word for “tree” is ''prana'', but “the tree” is ''i brana'', “my tree” ''fim hrana'', and “her tree” ''ea frana''. Not all letters mutate under the same environments, so the same sequence for “woman” is: ''bena'' “woman”, ''i fena'' “the woman”, ''fi mena'' “my woman” , but ''ea bena'' “her woman”. Grammatical mutation is discussed under syntax. ===The Article=== *There is no indefinite article in Calineg. bena, ''a woman''. cethe, ''a man''. *There are three forms of the definite article in Calineg. I is used before a consonant. i cethe, ''the man''. Ir is used before words beginning with a vowel or /h/. ir ore, ''the hammer''. ‘r is used after words that end in a vowel, regardless of whether the following word begins with a vowel or not. '''Ma’r fena’n fira.''' Is-FEM.-3S. the [SM]woman-NOM.S. PROG. speak-FEM. ''The woman is speaking.'' Note: Feminine nouns undergo the soft mutation after the definite article. i fena, ''the woman''. ===Nouns=== In Calineg nouns are declined for gender, number and case. *There are two genders in Calineg: masculine and feminine. All nouns meaning individual male or female persons are masculine or feminine respectfully, but all nouns referring to a mixed group of males and females are feminine. The gender of all other nouns must be memorized. *There are three numbers in Calineg: singular, dual, and plural. *There are five cases in Calineg: nominative, accusative, genitive, ablative and vocative. The Nominative is the case of the subject: bena, cethe. The Accusative is the case of the direct object: bene, cethi. The Dative is the case of the indirect object. The particle e precedes the noun and causes the nasal mutation: e mena, eng hethe. Genitive is the case of possession. Genitive relationships are expressed by apposition. The indefinite noun undergoes the soft mutation. cethe fena, ''a woman’s man''. The Vocative case is the case of direct address. Nouns undergo a soft mutation to form the vocative case. Proper names, however, usually do not undergo mutation: fena, chethe. '''Bures, minduch at ga!''' [SM]Boy-NOM.Pl. go-IMPER.Pl. to [SM]home-NOM.S. ''Boys, go home!''

'''Personal Pronouns''' :{| class="wikitable" |- style="background: #efefef;" ! Person ! Singular ! Dual ! Plural |- | '''First''' | mi | on | ni |- | '''Second''' | ti | en | chi |- | '''Third''' | ha/e | an | nu |} Calineg also has special emphatic forms of the personal pronouns.

The also typically follow the noun as well: cethe ine, ''last man'' bena ina, ''last woman''. Adjectives undergo the soft mutation following feminine nouns: bena la, ''small woman'' (From ''lh- 'small' ''). *The equative degree can be formed by adding –ad for a feminine or -ed for a masculine adjective, to the stem. Emphatic pronouns are used if necessary: i fena lad hinat, ''the woman as small as her''. *The comparative degree is formed by adding –ach or -ech to the stem: bena lach, ''smaller woman'' *The superlative degree is formed by adding –af or –ef to the stem. The adjective must be preceded by the article. i feraf, ''the largest''; i lhef, ''the smallest''. The demonstrative adjectives are enclitic. 'ma'' 'this'/'these' ''and 'na'' 'that/those' ''are affixed to the end of the noun the describe. The article must be used with the noun: i cethe'na, ''this man'', i cethes'na "these men", i fena'ma, ''that woman'', i fenas'ma ''those women''. ===Verbs=== In Calineg verbs are conjugated for voice, mood, tense, number, and person. *There are two voices: active and passive. The active represents the subject as acting or being. '''Molo then.''' Praise-1S. [SM]your-2D. ''I praise you two.'' The passive represents the subject as acted upon. '''Molor.''' Praise-1S.-Pass. ''I am praised.'' *There are three moods: indicative, subjunctive/conditional, and imperative. *There are nine tenses: present, past, future (the simple tenses), imperfect, past imperfect, future imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect (the compound tenses). '''Personal Endings of the Active Voice''' :{| class="wikitable" |- style="background: #efefef;" ! Person ! Singular ! Dual !

Potentially confusing for English speakers, is the use of positive particle ''mi'', often encountered in the literary register. It causes the soft mutation. The use of ''mi'' varies widely in different dialects and in some contexts may be used only for emphasis. '''Na murad eam habe e'r natha.''' '''Mi furad eam habe e'r natha.''' NEG. [NM]throw-PAST.3.FEM.S. her[AM]son-NOM.S. in the stream-NOM.S POS. [SM]throw-PAST.3.FEM.S. her[AM]son in the stream. ''She did not throw her son in the stream.'' ''She threw her son in the stream.'' '''Verbal Nouns''' The verbal noun is a special verb form that is declined only for gender like an adjective. The verbal noun can behave in a similar manner to an infinity or gerund in English. In Calineg, the verbal noun is also used to form the compound tenses as well as a noun or an adjective. *Molo'' 'to praise' ''forms the verbal nouns: mola'' 'praising' (feminine subject)'' and mole'' 'praising' (masculine subject)'' '''Bod 'to be' ''' ''Bod'' 'to be' is highly irregular. In addition to having inflected forms of the preterit, future, and conditional, it also maintains inflected present and imperfect forms which are used frequently as auxiliaries with other verbs. ''Bod'' also distinguishes between affirmative, interrogative, and negative statements for each tense. :{| class="wikitable" |- style="background: #efefef;" | rowspan="2" colspan="2" | ! colspan="3" scope="col" style="font-weight: normal;" | '''Present''' ! colspan="3" scope="col" style="font-weight: normal;" | '''Past''' ! colspan="3" scope="col" style="font-weight: normal;" | '''Future''' ! colspan="3" scope="col" style="font-weight: normal;" | '''Conditional''' |- style="background: #efefef;" ! scope="col" | Affirmative ! scope="col" | Negative ! scope="col" | Interrogative ! scope="col" | Aff. ! scope="col" | Neg. ! scope="col" | Inter. ! scope="col" | Aff. ! scope="col" | Neg. ! scope="col" | Inter. ! scope="col" | Aff. ! scope="col" | Neg. |- ! rowspan="3" scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Singular ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | First | dwi | rwi dim | idwi? | reni | deri dim | oni? | fithi | fithi dim | ithi? | gweni | nang weni |- ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Second | dach | rach dim | idich? | reti | deti dim | oreti? | fithiti | fithiti dim | ithiti? | gwenati | nang wenati |- ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Third | ma/e | da/e dim | ida/e? | retha/e | detha/e dim | oretha/e? | fitha/e | fitha/e dim | itha/e? | gwena/e | nang wena/e |- ! rowspan="3" scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Dual ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | First | dan | rho dim | idon? | ron | deron dim | oron? | fithon | fithon dim | ithon? | gwenon | nang wenon |- ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Second | den | rhe dim | iden? | ren | deren dim | oren? | fithen | fithen dim | ithen? | gwenen | nang wenen |- ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Third | man | rha dim | idan? | ran | deran dim | oran? | fithan | fithan dim | ithan? | gwenan | nang wenan |- ! rowspan="3" scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Plural ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | First | dani | rani dim | idani? | rethi | deni dim | oreni? | fitheni | fitheni dim | itheni? | gwenani | nang wenani |- ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Second | dachi | rachi dim | idachi? | rechi | dechi dim | orechi? | fithechi | fthechi dim | ithechi? | gwenachi | nang wenachi |- ! scope="row" style="background: #efefef;" | Third | manu | danu dim | idanu? | renu | denu dim | orenu? | fithenu | fithenu dim | ithenu? | gwenu | nang wenu |} The affirmative forms presented above are actually abbreviated forms of the formal roots. The conditional does not have unique interrogative forms. Additionally, Calineg does not have one word for ‘yes’ and ‘no', but instead uses modified verb forms in response to direct questions. However, they are all omitted here for the sake of clarity. Becasue a soft mutation always follows the verb phrase, the negative particle ''dim'' appears as ''thim'' in most sentences. '''Da'r anera thim en tama.''' Is-FEM.S. the young-woman-NOM.S. [SM]NEG. PROG. die-FEM. ''The young-woman is not dying.'' ===Adverbs=== Adverbs are unique because the do not decline to agree with the verbs they modify. Most adverbs are formed from the same stem as the corresponding adjective and a null suffix. Compare: '''Ma'n rheda ber.''' '''Ma'n fera.''' Is-FEM.3S. PROG. run-FEM. slow. Is-FEM.3S. PART. [SM]slow-FEM. ''She is running slowly.'' ''She is slow.'' ===Prepositions=== Some prepositions decline for grammatical gender. They are called personal prepositions. They must be memorized because they are highly irregular. The radical form of a preposition is used before nouns and adjectives to from prepositional phrases. '''Personal Prepositions''' :{| class="wikitable" |- style="background: #efefef;" ! Radical ! 'Me' ! 'You' (s.) ! 'Her'/'Him' ! Dual ! 'Us' ! 'You' (pl.) !

Numerals precede the nouns they modify. The noun, however, remains in the singular. Ordinals on the other hand, follow the noun they modify. The construction requires the article. Compare: '''Caded una mura flodes.''' '''Caded i mura una flodes.''' Enjoy-3S. one daughter-NOM. [SM]flower-ACC.PL. Enjoy-3S. the daughter-NOM. one [SM]flower-ACC.PL. ''One daughter enjoys flowers.''

Practically, however, Calineg is head initial so the verb normally occupies the first position in neutral sentences, with the subject following. In English, the verb is the second main idea and it separates the subject from the complement—either the object or a phrase dependant on the verb. Unlike English, Calineg is VSO in affirmative, interrogative and negative sentences. '''Affirmative''' '''Me'r cethe ar na.''' Is-1S.MASC. the man-NOM.S. on ship-NOM.S. ''The man is on a ship.'' '''Interrogative''' '''Ide'r cethe ar na?''' Is-1S.MASC. the man-NOM.S. on ship-NOM.S. ''Is the man on a ship?'' '''Negative''' '''De'r cethe thim ar na.''' Is-1S.MASC.NEG. the man-NOM.S. [SM]NEG. on ship-NOM.S. ''The man is not on a ship.'' Simple sentences are formed around a conjugated verb. '''Rhetha'r ar bade a lida Gale.''' Travel-1S.IMP. the on [SM]length-NOM. and width-NOM. [SM]Calen-NOM. ''I travelled the length and breadth of Calen.'' Compound sentences are formed from a form of ''to be'' and a verbal noun linked by a complement marker (''en'' or ''wed''). '''Me'r cethe’n bone dure.''' Is-1S.MASC. the man-NOM.S. PROG. open-MASC. door-ACC.S. ''The man is opening a door.'' '''Me'r cethe wed bone dure.''' Is-1S.MASC. the man-NOM.S. PERFECT open-MASC. door-ACC.S. ''The man has opened a door.'' Caineg is head initial and therefore dependent phrases must begin with a verb in a similar manner to the use of ''that'' in English. In the present tense the infinitive of the verb ''to be'' is followed by the subject of the dependant clause or preceded by a possessive pronoun. Compare: '''Fitho bod i mabe'n lhere.''' '''Cetho ea bod en bala.''' Know-1S. to-be the son-NOM.S. PROG. read-MASC. Believe-1S. her to-be PROG. ill-FEM. ''I know the son is reading.'' ''I believe that she is ill.'' In the past tense the verb ''to happen'' is used instead. '''Meno darfa'r masa'n celura.''' Want-1S. happen-FEM. the girl PROG making-pots-FEM. ''I want the girl to have been making pots.'' In the future or conditional tenses, however, the appropriate verb is used. '''Fomeno fitha'r anera'n bera pere chirra.''' Hope-1S. Is-3.S.FEM.FUT. young-woman PROG cook-FEM chicken-ACC.S. curry-FEM. ''I hope the young-woman will be cooking curry chicken.'' While the verb typically occupies the first position, this is only a general rule in Calineg. The rule is consistent enough, however, to make deviation from it noticeable. Therefore, Calineg often draws attention to a focused element by moving it from its more expected position to the beginning of the sentence. In the colloquial register, word order is more ridged and misplaced elements often undergo a soft mutation. When the subject occupies the first position it is dependant on an understood “is”, and therefore must be followed by a relative clause. '''I fena'n ta.''' The [SM]woman-NOM. PROG. come-FEM. ''(It is) the woman (who) is coming.'' When the verb is emphasized, it is placed first in the infinitive (verbal noun), and linked to the verb ''to do'' in the relative clause. In informal speech the ''to be'' verb may be used instead. Compare: '''Ta gwened.''' '''Ta ma!''' Come-FEM. does-3S.FEM. Come-FEM. is-1S.FEM. ''She is coming.'' ''She is coming!'' Because of the head initial nature of the language certain structual patterns are generally the case as well. First, adjectives and other modifiers tend to follow the noun our phrase they modify. Adverbs and adverbial phrases that modify the time, manner, and place of the action usually follow the sentence, in that order. ===Mutation=== All instances of mutations in Calineg can be divided in to either contact or grammatical mutations. Contact mutations occur following a relatively small number of high frequency words such as prepositions, numerals, and the complement markers. Instead of being caused by a preceding word, grammatical mutations fulfill a syntactic function. '''Gramatical Mutations''' In Calineg, because neutral sentences are VSO in structure, a soft mutation (SM) is used to separate the subject phrase from the complement. This most fundamental rule of Calineg grammar can be summarized as: Subject Phrase[SM]. '''Bonet i cethe thure.''' Open-3.MASC.S. the man-NOM.S. [SM]door-ACC.S. ''The man opens a door.'' There are two potential points of confusion. English speakers must remember that the idea of the subject is expanded in Calineg to include the verbal endings and places where the subject is in the speaker’s mind but not explicitly expressed. '''Cadet dun mos dan brole.''' Gave-way-3.MASC.S. [SM]at-that-time habitually under [SM]battle. ''He gave way habitually in battle at that time.'' There are a few words that are immune to this rule. The intensifiers tra and mor are common examples. '''Rethe’r res tra male.''' Was-3.MASC.S the affair-NOM.S. very bad-MASC. ''The affair was very bad.'' Generally, any element outside its natural grammatical position will undergo the soft mutation. This has numerous practical applications. '''It finad darfa tama’r wiri.''' [SM]So [SM]find-Past-3.FEM.S. happen-FEM. dieing-FEM. the gentleman-ACC.S. ''So it was that death found the gentleman.'' For example, genitive relationships are expressed by apposition. The indefinite noun undergoes the soft mutation. '''Me’n mos chomedire''' Is-3.MASC.S. PART custom-NOM.S. [SM]fighter-NOM.S. ''It is a fighter’s custom.'' Emphatic elements undergo mutation for this reason as well. '''Che minduch!''' [SM]Home-ACC.S. go-INTER.S.! ''Go home!'' Nouns undergo a soft mutation to form the vocative case. '''Bures, minduch e che!''' [SM]Young-men, go-INTER.S. to [SM] home-ACC.S. ''Young-men, go home!'' '''Contact Mutations''' The complement markers cause a soft mutation on proceeding nouns and adjectives. '''Ma'r fena'n bride.''' Is-1FEM.S. the [SM]woman-NOM.S. PART. [SM]poetess-ACC.S ''The woman is a poetess.'' Most prepositions also cause the soft mutation. '''Hared ag bona.''' Arrive-3FEM.S. at [SM]boat-Nom.S. ''She arrives at a boat.'' The article causes the soft mutation on feminine nouns. '''Genad i gatha nes gamasa.''' Born-PAST3FEM.S. the [SM]cat-Nom.S.Fem. near [SM]river-bend-Nom.S. ''The cat was born near a bend in a river.'' Certain numerals also cause mutations. Un/una ''one'' and du/dua ''two'' cause the soft mutation, while tri ''three'' and che ''six'' causes the aspirate mutation and na ''nine'' the nasal mutation. '''Rhicath che fure gope.''' Formed-PAST3.Pl. six [am]boy-Nom.S. [SM]troop-ACC.S. ''Six boys formed a troop.''

It also has a single moon, but its energy is drawn from the sun of Earth's solar system, whose radiation particles penetrate into the '''E'hwelian''' atmosphere and interact with its 'salenian' gasses, creating a wonderous purple hue in the evening, and a reddish hue during daylight. '''E'hwelos''' is actually situated partly within the Earth (see image below) and is dragged along in its orbit. Its size is roughly 1/3 than that of Earth. Although the Siopicus Dimension is attached to the universe and timeline, the higher vibration means that '''E'hwelos''' and indeed its own universe cannot been seen or felt by those on Earth. However, '''E'hwelian''' beings are a good deal more biologically advanced than humans, and can lower their biological vibrations, enabling them to interact with those on Earth (though for the most part, only for short periods of time, and its often these visits that are mistaken for spiritual or ghostly sightings). [[Image:Earth ehwlos interaction copy.jpg]] Quick facts: *The '''E'hwelian''' timeline is equivalent to Earth's, but '''E'hwelos''' revolves faster making its full day 23 hours. However, because the planet spins within Earth and not in its own orbit around the sun, this makes the '''E'hwelian''' year around 15 days longer than Earth's. Therefore an '''E'hwelian''' year is equivalent to approx 381 earth days. *The planet consists of 4 continents: 1 whole continent lies in the northern hemisphere, 2 whole continents in the southern, and the 4th lies mostly in the southern hemisphere with approx 1/3 lying in the northern hemisphere. *'''E'hwelos''' experiences similar seasons to Earth's, that is to say they have a winter, spring, summer and autum, although the climate is around 5 degrees warmer overall. If humans were to experience an E'hwelian summer, it would be somewhat uncomfortable. *The population is approx 2.5 billion. *There are 22 countries. *There are only 2 official languages: '''Utan''' (the original language of the '''Utai''') and '''Ithibu'''. '''Utan''' is spoken naturally by the '''Utai''', and an '''Utan''' dialect known as '''Hutan''' is spoken naturally by the '''H'wero'''. '''Ithibu''' has a standard form, but many dialects. (Note: The '''Utai''' do not speak '''Utan''' exclusively; if an '''Utai''' is born in an '''Ithibu''' speaking country, then they will learn that as their 1st language, although genetically, they will naturally learn '''Utan'''). *The official auxilliary language (similar in which English is classed as an international language) is '''Utan'''. *Most of the animals and plants that exist on earth also exist on '''E'hwelos''', although there are plants and animals that exist on '''E'hwelos''' that do not exist on Earth. *'''E'hwelian''' atmospheric gasses that do not exist on Earth create its violet hue in the evening and its reddish hue in the daytime. *'''E'hwelian''' water consistency is different, almost mercury-like. Its oceans are crystal clear, due to an ocean dwelling bacteria called 'delingamellanoin' that devours dirt particles. *It never gets dark, only the colour changes in the evening. [[Image:E'hwlos.jpg|A stunning evening view of the '''Eth'hwaani''' lake]] A stunning evening view of the '''Eth'hwaani''' lake ==='''Civilisation'''=== Speaking in an 'evolutionary' sense, the '''E'hwelian''' civilisation is not that disimilar to our own; that is to say, they have a 'Human' race. However, there are 3 specific types of human (or 'race' as in 'human race', not as in 'ethnicity) on '''E'hwelos'''. In fact, one could say (definately in the case of the '''Utai''') that there are 3 'species' of human. They are: *The '''Uta''' *The '''H'wero''' *The '''Ithibu''' The reason I don't say they are different 'races' is because their DNA is inherently different to the point where they cannot cross-breed (reproductive isolation). For example: on earth, although they have different facial characteristics, skin tone and in some instances, genes, Caucasians (white), native Africans (or any member of a black race), and Asians can mate with each other and successfuly produce fertile offspring. Therefore, the '''E'hwelian''' humans (for now) should be refered to as 'species' since technically speaking, different species cannot produce offspring. That said, it is actually possible for '''Utai''' and '''H'wero''' to produce offspring, although they will only produce a female who will be infertile . For this reason, strict precautions are taken to ensure non pregnacy between the two. Unfortunately, there are still a significant number of '''Utero''' born each year. Fertilization between '''Utai''' (male) and '''Ithibu''' (female) brings about misscariage and can cause serious health issues for the female.<br/>All '''E'hwelians''' have a reddish skin tone, although the degree of tone varies between species and continent. ===='''Uta'''==== The '''Uta''' species is, in comparison with earth humans, a highly advanced, and the most numerous at around 800 million. Here are some '''Uta''' facts: *'''Utai''' have redder skin tone than the other species. When pregnant, the females skin tone becomes deeper and the eyes slightly luminescent. *'''Utai''' have 'redundant' lungs; that is to say they have no use for distributing oxygen. Their skin is developed to absorb and distribute oxygen directly into the bloodstream. The lungs of an '''Uta''' are however, necessary to enable them to talk, as the vocal chords still rely on air flow to cause vibration. Noticeably, an '''Uta''' will only breath when talking. *They have very distinctive facial features, such as: thin lips, small-slender eyes (most males have violet colour; the females silver or white), small-rounded ears, and have either very dark to black or blonde hair. *Their senses are very acute: eyesight is around 3-4 times sharper than that of ours, as is their hearing and sense of smell. *Physically, the males are tall (over 6 feet), generally quite stocky with good muscular definition, and up to 5 times stronger than ourselves. The females are mostly of the same height, though slender in build, and have thinner noses but thicker lips, and also quite strong. *There are 2 very distinct traits of the '''Utai''' which set them apart from the other species: their '''telepathic''' and '''healing''' abilities. All '''Utai''' are born with these abilities, and is inherent in their DNA. They are capable of telepathically communicating over hundreds of miles; easier to other '''Utai''' but a lesser degree to other species. However, this is not something that is used on a 'willy nilly' basis, as it takes a great deal of concentration and can leave the user quite drained. They also have a strange affinity with animals (though not through direct communication; its thought that they can make their feelings known to animals through telepathy). *The '''Utai''' can heal up to ten times faster than humans, and their immune system is capable of tackling and destroying diseases equivalent to cancer. *'''Utai''' can 'transfer' feelings to others simply by touch. In other words, if an '''Uta''' wishes another person to 'feel' how they are feeling, they can do this by holding the hand of the recipient. (If only humans could do that)! '''Personality''' The typical '''Uta''' personality displays friendliness, happiness, respect, and love. It's rare for '''Utai''' to fall out with each other (though not improbable). In fact, like their telepathic abilities, these traits are inherent in their DNA. *A downside to this is their indifference to 'hate' and 'malice', something which sadly still exists in the race of the '''Ithibu'''. This can often lead to shameful ridicule towards the '''Utai''', as they often dont understand when they are being ridiculed under sarcasm from the '''Ithibu'''. However, this is not to say that the '''Utai''' are stupid, far from it! Below: typical '''Uta''' males or '''Uto''' [[Image:Uto 1.jpg]] [[Image:Uto 2.jpg]] and typical '''Uta''' females or '''Uti''' [[Image:Blonde uti 2.jpg]] [[Image:Brunette uti 1.jpg]] ---- ===='''H'wero'''==== The '''H'werian''' race are similar to the '''Utai''', and phyisically (externally) almost identical, except that their lungs are used to distribute oxygen (as ours). Their abilities in telepathy or self healing are also quite limited in comparison to the '''Utai'''. Another distinct difference is that the '''H'werai''' are acutely aware of the emotion of hate, unlike the '''Utai'''. The '''Ithibu''' can often find it difficult to distinquish the difference between the two, but '''Utai''' and '''H'werai''' can instantly tell one another apart by instinct. One way to tell the two apart of course is to watch them breath-'''Utai''' only breath when they talk, '''H'werai''' breath constantly. '''Personality''' The '''H'werai''' share similar personality traits with the '''Utai''', save for their better understanding of hate and sarcasm. ---- ====The '''Ithibu'''==== The '''Ithibu''' are almost identical to our human race, except that they're physically stronger and their immune systems are much more efficient. There are no distinquishing features to note, like those of the '''Utai''' and '''H'werai'''. '''Personality''' The '''Ithibu''' are just like us. They are capable of all traits we humans have and display. They also have a deep rooted hatred of the '''Utai''', which has caused many problems in previous times. ---- By the way, if you'd like to know how come I know so much about a dimension that is 'supposedly' unseen or felt by those on Earth, [[Dalien Trelos Gwenero|click here]] =='''Languages'''== ==='''Utan overview'''=== The language of the '''Utai''' is the most widely spoken language on '''E'hwelos'''. '''Utan''' is mainly agglutinative with inflectional features. Verbs inflect for, person, number, tense and modality, and nouns agglutinate for prepositional values, cause and possession. Because of this, word order is of no great importance but there is a tendancy to follow an SVO sequence. Presently, I have no examples of written '''Utan''', therefore, for presentation and transliteration purposes, I have developed the following guidelines: ===='''Vowels:'''==== *a as in bat *e as in wet (word initial is pronounced as ay in way) *i as in wit *o as in boat *u as in up *aa as in father *ee as in street *oo as in school *oe as in the German schön, or the '''er''' in runner NOTE: Where the vowel is long (and therefore represented as a doubled vowel), this will by default be a stressed syllable. This also applies to diphthongs and triphthongs. ===='''Dipthongs:'''==== *oi as in loin *ae as in ay-ee (wait as in English received pronunciation) *ai as in why ===='''Tripthongs:'''==== *aiu as in ey-oo *oia as in oy-ya ===='''Consonants:''' (the following are as English)==== b k d f g h l m n p r s t v w x z There is no '''y''' (except perhaps in the sound created by palatalization) or '''qu'''. The pronunciation of voiced consonants is hard to replicate in our tongue. Its almost 'breathy' like, as if the lips and throat with plosives and fricatives are not completely closed. ===='''Palatalization and syllable stress'''==== Palatalization and syllable stress are extremely important grammatical features of '''Utan'''. They can mean the difference between a verb and a noun, a verb tense, and especially with stress, the difference between numbers. Voice intonation also goes hand in hand with stress. ====='''Palatalization'''===== Palatalized consonants are: '''d,l,m,n''' and '''p''' and are rendered as follows: '''d-di l-li m-mi n-ñ p-pi''' (for those who do not know what palatalization is, listen to the '''n''' in the Russian '''nyet''') ====='''Syllable stress'''===== This is quite predictable in '''Utan'''-unlike in English where it is lexical and has to be learned with the word. However, when I say predictable, this means where it is important. In verbs, (and all verbs are trisyllablic in an uninflected state) syllable stress always falls on the 2nd syllable (uninflected). Where the verb is conjugated, stress shifts to accommodate its original position, although for emphasis, stress may also be given to the person inflection: '''behiilna'''-to exist, '''ebehiilna'''-I exist, '''ébehiilna'''-I DO exist It should be noted that syllable stress is only grammatical in verbs, numbers, and verbal nouns. With other word classes, including free nouns, stress may naturally fall on the 2nd syllable, and although this can change due to dialect, it will have no specific meaning. In written '''Utan''', syllable stress is only marked in foreign correspondance-unlike palatalization which is always marked. Athough the rules of syllable stress are fairly rigid, I have decided to mark this in transliteration, but only if it is grammatically necessary. To show this, the vowel in the stressed syllable will be marked as follows: '''á, é, ii, ó, ú''' NOTE: '''ii''' does not make the vowel long. The above characters only represent syllable stress, they do not change the vowel sound. For long and short vowels, see the vowel section above. However, by default, a long vowel will normally always be part of a stressed syllable. ===='''Verbs'''==== All verbs are very regular. Verb stems or infinitive conatin 3 syllables, and the present tense always begins with a voiced consonant. This is important in pronunciation, as unvoicing changes the verbs meaning. (Utan ears are extremely sensitive to this syntactic rule, much more so than ouselves. In fact, Utan pronunciation is hard to replicate in our tongue). As said, palatalization also plays an important role in meaning. The present indicative also carries the present progressive tense ‘ing’. ====='''Tenses:'''===== Eg verb: '''behiilna'''-to exist/live Present: *behiilna-infinitive-to exist *ebehiilna-I exist/am existing *abehiilna-you exist (singular) *ambehiilna-you (all) exist *obehiilna-he exists *ubehiilna-she exists *eibehiilna-it exists *enbehiilna-we exist *onbehiilna-they exist *inbehiilna-one exists Simple past: Unvoicing of word initial consonant. This tense doesn’t always denote completion of an action: *epehilna-I existed/did exist/was existing (then same for all conjugations) Perfect present: Formed by way of palatalization of the last consonant: *epehiilña-I have existed (pronounced 'epehilnya') Future: Adds '''n''' to the stem: *ebehiilnan-I will exist There is no perfect future tense. ====='''Copula and the verb 'to be''''===== The verb '''vaana'''-to be, has 3 uses in '''Utan'''. It’s main use is to act as a copula to adjectives, but is also used to link nouns and pronouns to a prepositioned noun, and as a copula for stative/intransitive verbs. It’s quite hard to directly translate this into English. '''Vaana''' roughly denotes the 'state' of something, or the current status of the subject, and only conjugates for tense when used with nouns. *vaana-am/is/are *faana-was/were/had been *faaña-have/has been With adjectives: *Faen-hot (adjectives denote the ''was/were'' state with the ending '''o''') *Hwen vaana faen-I am hot (rough translation: I'm in a state of being hot) *Noi vaana faen-you are hot *Ema vaana faen-he is hot *Hwen vaana faeno-I was hot With verbs: Zihoina-to own, gehuna-to kick *Ezoina vaana olatse-I own a house (vaana needed as own is stative) *Ogehuna oitak -He kicks a ball (vaana not needed as kick is an action verb) NOTE: The '''Utai''' are very literall people, and this transcends into their language. For example, an '''Uta''' would never say: '''Evenoida vaana gwel'''-I feel ill. They would simply say: '''Hwen vaana gwel'''-I am ill. =====Modality===== Modality or the mood of a verb is rendered with an '''n''' inflection followed by a mood indicating vowel or dipthong. Modals rendered in '''Utan''' are: *Can (to be able to) *May (to be allowed to) *Should (to ought to) *Like (to like/enjoy) *Would like (would like to) *Want (to want to) Other moods are: *conditional-would *subjunctive-expresses wishes or hypotheticals Modal inflections are indicated below with galiina-to love (because all verbs are regular, the 1st person only will be used in examples; one simply adds the appropriate person prefix) galiina-to love egaliina-I love '''Can-na''' *galiinana-to be able to love *egaliinana-I can love *Past: *ekaliinana-I could love (was able to) *May-no *geliinano-to be allowed to love *egeliinano-I may love (am allowed to) *Past: *ekaliinano-I was allowed to love '''Should-ni''' *galiinani-to ought to love *egaliinani-I should love '''Past''': *ekaliinañi-I should have loved (note the palatialized '''ñ''' here) '''Like to-nu''' *galiinanu-to like to love *egaliinanu-I like to love '''Past:''' *ekaliinanu-I liked to '''Perfect present:''' *ekaliinañu-I have liked to love '''To want to-ne''' *galiinane-to want to *egaliinane-I want to '''Past:''' *ekaliinane-I wanted to '''Perfect present''' *ekaliinañe-I have wanted to '''Would like to-noi''' *egaliinanoi-I would like (to) '''Past:''' *ekaliinañoi-I would have liked to ====='''Subjunctive'''===== There are 2 subjunctive moods in '''Utan'''. '''Subjunctive 1''' is used to render hypothetical wishes or expressions. Eg: *If I were rich, I’d buy a forest. *If I were you I’d tell the truth. *I wish there was a lake of chocolate. With the 'if' clause, there are 2 ways in which this is rendered. With adjectival statements, the adjective itself inflects to denote 'if' and person. For example: the adjective '''toin'''-rich, normally takes an inflection to denote its state (are you currently rich, or were you rich/no longer rich), which is an additional '''o''' meaning 'was/were'. To make it subjunctive, the adjectives final consonant is palatalised: *toin-rich *hwen vaana toin-I am rich *hwen vaana toino-I was rich (but am no longer) *hwen vaana toiño-if I were rich (currently not rich, but would like to be) '''Subjunctive 2''' is for modal expressions such as: '''should/ought to be, able to be, allowed to be, want to be''' etc. Fot this type of construction, the modal inflection prefixes to '''vaana'''. Look at the following examples, which are all subjunctive 2 in '''Utan:''' *Ololat na'vaana doik e kedoik. Houses can be big or small. (literally: Houses can be in a large or small state) *Ema ni'vaana nuhon. He should be there by now. *Uma ne'vaana asoilum. She wants to be famous. *Hwen noi'vaana nelien. I would like to be happy. *Sukois hwenda no'vaana vaeti kwemba. We're allowed to be a little crazy sometimes. With prepositioned nouns: *Hwen vaana olatninoi-I'm at home *Hwen faana olatninoi-I was at home ==='''Pronouns'''=== Nom: *I hwen *you noi *you (pl) noida *he ema *she uma *it ama *we hwenda *they uvaiu *they (inanimate) uvoik *one aru Acc: *Me hwense *You noise *You (pl) noidase *Him emase *Her umase *It amase *Us hwendase *Them uvaiuse *Them (inanimate) uvoikse *One aruse Dat: *To me hwesu *To you noisu *To you noidnasu *To him emasu *To her umasu *To it amasu *To us hwesu *To them uvasu *To one arusu NOTE: The above are the basic grammatical categories for pronouns. However, Utan pronouns can inflect with any of the noun cases. ---- ==='''Ithibu'''=== The Ithibu language is somewhat disjointed, erratic shall we say. It’s often said that language reflects a culture (or indeed vice versa), and this is certainly true in the case of Ithibu. There are, as you would expect, a few syntactic rules. However, the language is not a diverse or exciting one. It’s very flat, or dynamically thwarted if you like. Ithibu is highly isolating, and word order is not so important, but follows a SOV style. Particles however, carry extremely important grammatical information. This is nothing out of the ordinary really, in comparison to some of the languages here on Earth (Chinese, for example is isolating in the same way). However, Ithibu word classes are non derivative; they’re based purely on the asthetics of CV or VC combinations (consonant-vowel, vowel-consonant). This NEVER changes within a word class. For example: *Nouns are based on the combination CVVCCVCVVC. This is the same for all classes of nouns: real (except names), count, non-count, tangible, non tangible, abstract, nouns derived from verbs etc etc. So, the Ithibu noun for (a) 'thought' is 'viettobein'. The underlying trait here is that the 1st syllable is always a diphthong, as is the last, making the sound of the noun quite recognizable. *Verbs are based on the combination VCCV. The Ithibu verb for 'to think' is 'achi'. As you can see, it bares absolutely no resemblance to its noun relative. And again, an underlying trait of verbs is that the double consonant will most often be a consonantal digraph. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs etc undergo no inflection nor any affixual additions. This is the role of the particle. Particles determine: tense, voice, modality, possession, grammatical roles such as subject, object, indirect object, cause, telecity etc. Fundamentally, the particle is the link pin between word and function-and they are many!

The broken tone starts with an extra-short vowel, then there is a glottal stop, and then the same vowel continues again with a rising tone. In IPA, using /a/ as an example, this "tone" would be written {{IPA|[ăʔ̆ǎ]}}. The broken tone can not appear in onset-less syllables, while the other tones have no such restrictions. === Syllable structure === The syllable structure of Xǔngpìng is (O)(G)V(C), where O can be any consonant except /j/ or /w/, G can be /j/ or /w/, V is any non-rhotacized vowel, and C can be /kʰ/, /l/, /m/, /n/, {{IPA|/ŋ/}}, /w/, /j/ or rhotacization of the previous vowel. == Orthography == The romanization of Xǔngpìng is as follows: === Xǔngpìng romanization === <p style="text-align: center;">'''A&nbsp;a, B&nbsp;b, C&nbsp;c, Ch&nbsp;ch, D&nbsp;d, E&nbsp;e, F&nbsp;f, G&nbsp;g, H&nbsp;h, I&nbsp;i, J&nbsp;j, Jh&nbsp;jh, K&nbsp;k, L&nbsp;l, M&nbsp;m, N&nbsp;n, Ng&nbsp;ng, O&nbsp;o, P&nbsp;p, Q&nbsp;q, R&nbsp;r, S&nbsp;s, Sh&nbsp;sh, T&nbsp;t, U&nbsp;u, V&nbsp;v, W&nbsp;w, X&nbsp;x, Xh&nbsp;xh, Y&nbsp;y, Z&nbsp;z, Zh&nbsp;zh'''</p> {| class="aligntop" style="width:80%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; vertical-align: top;" ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Letter ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Pronunciation | |- !

May be switched to a proper geographic-based one eventually. Owes much to [http://www.xibalba.demon.co.uk/jbr/futurese.html Futurese]. ==Grand Master Plan== ===Initial dialect features=== Note that these features' current geographical distribution does not necessarily limit Ängrex's, since a few of them are still spreding. ====Vowels==== * Yod-dropping: [[Early Modern English]] /iʊ/ becomes /uː/ (''GOOSE''), preceded by /j/ if there's no initial consonant. Likewise /iʊɹ/ → /ʊɹ/. Typical exceptions, such as ''sugar'', ''sure'', apply. * The cot-caught, father-bother and pin-pen mergers apply, i.e. /ɒ ɔː/ both merge into /ɑː/, and /ɪ/ before a nasal into /ɛ/. * The following rhotic vowels are distinguished: /ɪɹ ɛɹ əɹ ɑɹ ɔɹ/ (''NEAR SQUARE NURSE START NORTH''). /oɹ/ (''FORCE'') merges into /ɔɹ/; /ʊɹ/ (''CURE'') merges varyingly† with /ɔɹ/ or the disyllable /uəɹ/, or plain /əɹ/ in certain lexemes.† Mergers apply also before medial /ɹ/: e.g. /e.ɹ æ.ɹ/ → /ɛɹ/, /ʌ.ɹ/ → /əɹ/, /i.ɹ/ → /ɪɹ/. * Collapse to a three-vowel system in final unstress'd position: /iː/ (''HAPPY'') becomes /eɪ/ (''FACE''), while /ə(ɹ)/ (''COMMA, LETTER'') becomes /ɑː/. /oʊ/ remains. (Phonetically, these are basic [e a o].) * Unstress'd /ə/ and /ɪ/ remain mostly separate when pretonic, sometimes† also when posttonic. * Shwa + sonorant combinations are realized as syllabic consonants [m̩ n̩ ɫ̩], especially† word-finally. The following changes are best considered phonetic detail, since they do not disturb the phonological system. * /ɑ æ iː uː ʊ/ → [a eə ɪj ʏw ʏ] ** We'll nevertheless write the quality of the ''GOOSE'' and ''FOOT'' vowels as /ʉ ʏ/ from here on. ** [ʊ] remains before coda /l/ ** ''need to elaborate on the fate of /æ/ per environment, difthong decay, and on other pre-sonorant mergers (aU aI > æə aə / _S'' * Length is by now secondary to quality (and won't be marked, either). ====Consonants==== * Whine-wine merger: /ʍ/ merged into /w/. * /tɹ tj dɹ dj/ are affricated to /ʧɹ ʧ ʤɹ ʤ/. (Note that palatalization of /sɹ sj zj/ is older and applies to all English varieties, AFATAK.) * Medial flapping of /t d/ to [ɾ] when posttonic. No glottalization develops (except, as widespred, to zero between a fricativ and a syllabic consonant — ''soften'' [sɑfn̩] → <nowiki><sáfang></nowiki>, ''rustle'' [ɹʌsɫ̩] → <wúso>) * Interdental loss: /θ ð/ become /t d/ in onset position, /f v/ in coda. **''eater'' [ˈɪjɾa], ''ether'' [ˈɪjta] * Coda /d/ is lost after /n/. * The cluster /ns/ (and possibly /nz/ - unclear due to later changes & the only common examples being ''bronze'' and ''frenzy'') inserts epenthetic /t/ (or /d/) to become /nts/ (or /ndz/). Plurals and possessivs in //-S// unaffected, as are, by this stage, any prefixes in /(C)Vn-/ (''in-'', ''con-'', etc.) ===Initial syntactic changes=== * ''Gonna'' and ''wanna'' * ''got'' becomes a compulsory auxiliary in possessiv constructions, while the ''have'' element is increasingly cliticized * Cliticization of copulas's also common, with ''(t)here's'' taking place of ''(t)here're'' * Imperfect forms of strong verbs are eliminated and replaced by the perfect. (Some cases proceed in the opposite direction, mostly when the perfect includes ''-en'' in addition to any vowel changes, but still to the effect of only allowing one past form.) * ''one'' becomes a compulsory pronoun in constructions involving adjectivs as referents * ''gimme'' reanalyzed as a monotransitiv "to part with" ===Pre-Angrex=== By now the American English speech community is increasingly fracturing. Register-switching between vernacular and classical English starts to resemble diglossia similar to the current (2009 CE) situation in the Arabophone world, and with the standard language taking the role of the lingua franca, the dialects are free to diverge. ====Further spred of certain changes==== * Flapping of /d/ is extended to word-final posttonic position. /t/ persists as an unreleased [t̚]. * /nʃ/(and /nʒ/?), prefixal /n/+/s/ and tautosyllabic /mf/ also undergo epenthesis (therefore eg. <thancang> from ''tension'') * The pattern of singular /-əs/ : plural /-aɪ/ is generalized to all applicable words, and then some. ** "Some" includes especially polysyllables ending in /-əz/, and monosyllables ending in /-s/, which will be now pluralized as /-saɪ/ (but not those with irregular plurals, e.g. ''mice'') ====More vowel changes==== (Needs splitting between this and the previous stage) * /eə/ further raised to /ɪə/ * Reduction of unstressed vowels continues. In closed syllables, sufficiently unstress'd† <!--explain--> /i e/ typically reduce to /ɪ/, /ʉ/ to /ʏ/, /ɛ æ ɑ/ to /ə/. Pretonic initial /ə/ (but not /ɪ/) tends to be lost entirely. * Before a vowel, unstressed /i ʉ/ reduce to /j w/. The sequences /i(j)ə ʉ(w)ə/ (e.g. ''idea'', ''doer'') coalesce to /ɪə ʊə/. * Unreduced /æʊ ɔɪ/ become biphonemic /ɪə.ɔ ʊə.ɛ/ (word-finally /ɪə.o ʊə.e/). Unreduced /aɪ/ persists. * /ʌ/ becomes essentially /ə/ even when stress'd.* <!-- bekhám esancoi xá eiwang vanz dún cas--> * /ɑ/ → /ʌ/ before a nasal, paralleling the situation with front vowels ''(does FOOT + nasal exist??)'' * /ɪɹ/ (''NEAR'', ''MIRROR'') becomes /ɪəɹ/, still monosyllabic but now equal in quality to former /æ/ follo'd by /ɹ/ (bear in mind that former /æɹ/, as in ''carry'', has turned into /ɛɹ/ tho). * /ɔɹ/ raises to /ʊɹ/, then similarly breiks to become /ʊəɹ/; /əɹ/ backs to take its place as new /ɔɹ/. * Syllabic /n/ → /ŋ/ in word-final position ====Labial/liquid chainshift==== One of Angrex's most caracteristic features. * The main chain consists of /ɹ/ → /w/, /w/ → /ʋ/, /v/ → /b/ (a push-pull chain with the 2nd change coming into place the last). Only the onset position is affected. ** /w/ remains after a velar, a testament to its imbudgency.* (So is the shift from /ɹ/ directly to /ʋ/ in the British descendants of English, but let's not go there.) * Coda /v/ → /ʋ/, further becoming syllabic if another consonant precedes ** Former coda /ɹ/ or semivowels don't count as consonants anymore ** Coda /l/ does, by which the changes affecting it can be dated as being later ** Syllabic /ʋ̩/ is also produced from /əv/ (principally: ''of'', '''ve'') * /v/ before a syllabic consonant is treated as a coda. * Coda /l/ separates as syllabic after a (phonetic) semivowel, ie. after the difthongal vowels /i ʉ ɪə ʊə aə aɪ/. * …after which it vocalizes: → /w/, the syllabic form → /ʊ/. ** New cases of stress'd /ʊ/ develop from /ow/ before an additional coda consonant. * Summarizing, ''sail will help pull all old dull coal'' → <xiu veu haup phou o or du khu>; ''boil cool eel tile pal'' → <bwáyo khyowo eyo thayo pháo?>; ''fillen valve'' → <fewang bou> <small>(For ''fillen'', see the new syntax section)</small> <small>*Yes, I made that up.

(A: yes, _wool_) Perhaps /Y/ can be involved also - probably not CV development a la /wUd/ > v\=:4 > uur (rather, expected _vor_), but perhaps V_V development a la /wUd@v/ >> _voroo_, /fUt @v/ >> _fotoo_ / _focoo_?--> ** Due to the later change from coda /ʋ/ to /w/, this doesn't come up much in Angrex itself, but it does explain how ''wary'' → <vávi> or ''rewind'' → <wegán>, as well as the origin of some morphological elements.†<!-- note analogy: will, willya > veu, vewa; not *veva--> ====Aspiration development==== This series of sound changes forms major isoglosses among the Anglic languages. * The trigger is the loss of /s/ before another consonant. This leads to the phonemicization of aspiration of voiceless stops in the onset — as well as of word-initial /ɾ/. ** Medial stops are also geminated when /s/ is lost. * Coda stops are normally unreleased, with the exception of the position before another obstruent, or a non-tautosyllabic consonant such as [ɫ̩] (syllables with a consonantal nucleus may not contain an onset) or [m] (stop+/m/ not being a valid initial cluster). After its inception by the previous change, aspiration develops also in this position, in stressed syllables only. * Any coda affricates are 'fcors released, but generally don't develop aspiration. An exception, most likely analogy-motivated, is the cluster /ʧt/ when resulting from /ʧ/ plus the past tense suffix //d//. * Additionally, /pf ts/ → /pʰ tʰ/ in all positions. * This system is then muddled by application of anti-Grassman's Law, i.e. in a word containing two aspirates within one syllable of one another, the latter is deaspirated. * /h/ triggers deaspiration regularly; it's however medially lost in ''all'' cases (e.g. ''megahertz'' → <magát>) * /h/ is also lost initially before any high vowel or glide. * However, in syllables with an initial lo vowel or /ɾ/, any possible aspiration in the coda is transferred to become an intrusiv initial /h/ (e.g. ''opt'' → <háp>, ''slacks'' → <nowiki><hrákhs></nowiki>) * All coda stops after an obstruent or a homorganic nasal are lost. The first part of this change is common enuff even in contemporary English dialects, but the consequences for aspiration sho that at least in /pt kt/ this must postdate the development of phonemic aspiration. ====Retroflexen==== * To compensate for the increasingly stronger allophonic palatalization of ordinary coronals before front vowels, the postalveolar sibilants become apical in articulation, in enunciated speech even retroflex. These retain their inherent labialization, and a folloing /w/ is assimilated. An /f/ or /v/ from ''former'' /w/, however, is metathesized, giving eg. <pháfcúk> from ''patchwork'', <defxa> from ''dishwasher'' (note the haplology) and <pháse(u)jri> from ''passageway''. ====Vowel shift==== * Mid vowels become long high vowels: /e o/ → /jiː uː/ * Near-high vowels become short mid vowels: /ɪ ʏ ʊ/ → /e ø o/ ** furthermore /ø ej/ → /jo jej/ * Rhotic vowels also become long mid (or lo) vowels: /ɑɹ oɹ əɹ eɹ/ → /ɑː oː ɘː ɛː/ * Difthongs in -ə smooth into long lo vowels: /ɪə ʊə aə/ → /jaː waː aː/ * There are two theories to what's going on in here with the front vowels. One is that this is simply palatalization and the glide found in eg. ''cube'' → <khiobo> is excrescent in nature; the other is that /j/'s are actually broken off vowels, but simply lost in most situations. The behavior is at any rate identical to that of inherited instances of /Cj/ in most, perhaps all cases. ** No glide nor palatalization appears after a liquid (/l ɾ ʋ/), a postalveolar, or a bilabial. ** Non-liquid alveolars reddily palatalize: /tʰ t d s z n/ + /ʲ/ → /tɕʰ tɕ dʑ ɕ ʑ ɲ/ *** This occurs also after /iː j/. ** A plain [j] appears after velars and /f/. ** /w/ palatalizes to /ɥ/ when occurring after a front vowel or palatal consonant; no effect is seen elsewhere. ** Word-initially (or after a vowel?) [j] remains when resulting from /ø ɪə/. * In contrast to all the palatalization hijinx, there's no interplay between /w/ and consonants to note. *<!-- ====Case system==== -z nom. -a gen. -0 acc.

This counterfeeds the previous monofthongization. (Equivalently: before a vowel /əj əw/ become [ij uw]). * Vowels are additionally lengthen'd: ** always word-finally ** in open stressed syllables, if the next vowel is short†<!--, as well as before /z ʐ ʑ/--> * Vowels are shorten'd: ** in superhevvy syllables (with a CC coda), except those resulting from a vowel sequence ** elsewhere?? * Syllabic consonants are lost: [ʋ̩ m̩ n̩ ŋ̩] → [u am an aŋ] (always short) ** This postdates lengthening/shortening, both due to the consistency of resultant length, and since consonants between a syllable with a vocalic nucleus and one with a consonantal nucleus†<!--or simply nasal? v\= patterns with U after all, and can carry stress--> are assigned to the vocalic syllable if possible, increasing its weight. Frex ''action'' → <yakhshang>, not *<yákhshang>; and ''kitten'' → <kherang> has short [e], not long [eː]. * Coda /ʋ/ becomes /w/, while onset /ʋ/ becomes /v/ or /f/, modulo voicing of a possible preceding consonant. * Lo front vowels collapse: /aː/ merges into /ɑː/ except when word-final, while /ɛ a/ merge as /æ/. (This counterfeeds the monofthongization of /ɑw/.) * Shwa is inserted after word-final voiced stops and affricates. (?) **Also postdates prosodic shortening/lengthening. * Unstressed shwa then proceeds to become [e] if there is an immediately preceding palatal, and [o] if there is an immediately preceding labial glide or retroflex. * Stressed shwas become [ɨː] when long, [ɑ] when short. * Coda /j/ is lost between front vowels and palatals, likewise coda and onset /w/ between labial vowels and labials, with compensatory lengthening if the vowel precedes. ====Various==== * Voiced affricates lenite to fricativs: /dz dʐ dʑ/ → /z ʐ ʑ/. Before nasals, however, the opposite development is found. * Of two nearby prevocalic /w/ (and possibly /j/?<!--eg. yield > jIjUr > _jeegor_-->), the 2nd dissimilates → [ɣ] → /ɡ/. * Certain awkward consonant clusters are resolved: ** /n/ after an alveolar stop becomes /ɾ/ ** /nɾ/ becomes /nː/ ** Before another obstruent, coda /k/ and /kʰ/ become [x], similarly /p<sup>(</sup>ʰ<sup>)</sup> b/ become /f v/.† Word-final /k/ tends to be lost,<!-- with aspiration of initial stops in monosyllables via [h]? investigate if the cluster issue exists for any other stops / affricates --> ** Any obstruents stranded between a nasal and another obstruent, or between two obstruents, drop out. ====Dialectal changes==== Distribution particulars not work'd out, other than that Stop Merger and Back Chainshift occur in the same branch. * /n/ → /ɾ/ after other stops as well * Coda /ɾ/ → /l/†<!-- serendipitously: would~willing > _vol~velang_--> * Alternately, other stops may spirantize in this position as well, leading to correspondences such as [xn] ~ [kɾ] for standard [kn] * /fw fj hɾ/ → /xw xj xɾ/, leading to phonemic /x/ <!-- same dialect as the previous --> * Stop merger: aspirated/geminate → voiceless; voiced/unaspirated → voiced * Long back(ish) vowel chain shift: /ɑː/ → /oː/ → /uː/ → /ɨː/ → /au/ → … * Alternately, difthong simplification: /iu eu/ → /yː øː/, loss of vowel length with a split of /eː e oː o/ → /e ɛ o ɔ/ ==Phonology== {| |- | pʰ || tʰ || tʂʰ || tɕʰ || kʰ || |- | p || t || tʂ || tɕ || k || |- | b || d || || || ɡ || |- | f || s || ʂ || ɕ || (x) || h |- | v || z || ʐ || ʑ || || |- | m || n || || ɲ || ŋ || |- | w || l || || j || || |- | || ɾ || || || || |} {| |- | i || iː || ɨː || u || uː |- | e || eː || ə || o || oː |- | æ || æː || || ɑ || ɑː |} Difthongs ''iu eu ei au ai ou oi'' (''ui''??) ==Orthography== Per IPA, except: * Obviously (?), <r> is /ɾ/, <y> is /j/ and a digraph with <h> signifies aspiration. * <c x j> are /tɕ ɕ ʑ/ before an orthographic <&#105;> (itself silent before another vowel), /tʂ ʂ ʐ/ elsewhere. ** A silent <r> occurs between a retroflex and /i/.

It grammaticalizes many constructions, using affixes where English and many other languages would require additional words or phrases. It is agglutinating with some inflecting characteristics. It is designed to be expressive and "attractively ugly" (''muxši''). The look, feel, and sound of the language were inspired ultimately by [[Turkish]], with significant influence from [[Nahuatl]] and [[Klingon]]. tvk was inspired to make a ''muxši'' language after watching the Turkish film ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Star_Wars Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam]''. ==Phonology== ===Phoneme Inventory=== <nowiki> Vowels are /a E i u U/, represented by <a e i u eu> Consonants: The basic stops are unvoiced /t c ?/ and voiced /b d J\/. These are represented by <t k ' b d g>. There are many fricatives: /s z s_j z_j S Z C j\/ <s z š ž sj zj x gh>. Note that the <j> grapheme doesn't mark palatalization, but a different point of articulation. This is because historically <š> and <ž> were /s`/ and /z`/, and <sj> and <zj> were palatalized alveolar fricatives. The affricates are /dZ/ and /tS/, represented by <dj and tj>. These are descended from palatalized stops and are considered monophonemic, although there are many other possible affricates that are considered consonant clusters. There is also a palatalized stop /k_j/ <kj>. There are two flaps /4 4_0/ <r ř> and two laterals, /l K/ <l lh>. The cluster /tK/ is considered one phoneme and written <tlh>. The nasals are /n m J/ <n m n>. The latter can only occur before another palatal consonant. There is one approximant, /h/ <h>. </nowiki> ===Allophony=== Word-finally, /4/ and /4_0/ are respectively [r\] and [z`]. In clusters, /C/ becomes [j\] before a voiced consonant, and /l/ becomes [K] after an unvoiced consonant. /n/ becomes [m] or [J] after a labial or palatal consonant, respectively. A very short glottal pause may be inserted between other clustered consonants with different voicing. ===Phonotactics=== Syllable structure is CV(V)(C). Clusters cannot occur word-finally, and the set of consonants that can occur word-finally is limited to the following: <t b d k g tj dj x gh z ž zj š sj r ř n m l lh tlh '> Consonants that can be the first element of a cluster are: <t d b g k x>. Consonants that can be the second element of a cluster are <l n r ř s š sj z ž zj>. There is one allowable diphthong, /aU/, written <au>. There are also long forms of each vowel, written by doubling the vowel (except in the case of <eu>, the long form of which is written <euu>. ==Lexicon== The vocabulary is ''a priori''. There are two open classes, nouns (''&zwnj;'idi'itjun'') and verbs (''&zwnj;'ixa'autjim''). All other morphemes fall into the class of ''&zwnj;'izje'ekrel'' or affixes. The category for all morphemes, including root words, is ''ižiitsigh''. Nouns fall into one of 8 classes. The first two, called ''&zwnj;'iřuušidjim'' and ''&zwnj;'ibuubedjim'' correspond to masculine and feminine. Nouns are assigned to the classes according to form, function, or association. All noun roots end in a consonant. ===Derivational Morphology=== '''Nominal''' The suffix ''-djim'' makes an intransitive stative verb into a noun. Y = X-djim means Y is characterized by being or doing X. '''Verbal''' The prefix ''&zwnj;'eu-'' makes a noun root into an intransitive stative verb. 'eu-X means "X exists" or "there is X". Verbs of this type are (redundantly) inflected to agree with the class of the root noun. This prefix is fully productive to the point that it might be considered syntactical; it can even be applied to plural nouns or nouns derived from verbs. ==Syntax and Grammar== ===Nominal Morphology=== '''Gender''' Nouns usually take a vowel suffix to indicate their gender. The suffixes are as follows: *Class 1: -a *Class 2: -i *Class 3: -i *Class 4: -u *Class 5: -e *Class 6: -a *Class 7: -e *Class 8: -e The gender suffix changes under certain conditions. If the noun is within a relative clause or is an argument of a gerund, the suffix is applied after case marking, not before. In addition, any gender suffix can be replaced by the pejorative ending -eu or the diminutive ending -ii. '''Pluralization''' Nouns have two plural forms, partitive and non-partitive. In the partitive form, the individuals are emphasized; in the non-partitive form, the group is emphasized. This is analogous to the distinction between "persons" and "people" in English; "persons" is the partitive form. Both plurals are formed by prefixing ''&zwnj;'i'' to the stem and doubling the first vowel of the stem. However, in the partitive form, a glottal stop is inserted between the double vowels. The partitive plural of nouns whose first root vowel is ''eu'' is irregular: the vowel becomes ''e'eu'' rather than ''eu'eu''. For example, the partitive plural of ''řeu'ad'' "forked tree branch" is ''&zwnj;'iře'eu'ad''. ''&zwnj;'Iri'ixlu'e sjautžinab zjatlhabiitjatlh.'' "The people threw the javelin." (i.e. they each threw it in turn, individually.) ''&zwnj;'Iriixlu'a sjautžinab zjatlhabiigzjatlh.'' "The people threw the javelin." (i.e. they all picked it up together and threw it.) Despite these forms, the concept of pluralization in 'ižiitsigh varies somewhat from that of English. There are no agreement markers for plural forms, and the non-partitive form is quite similar in use to the phrase "a group of [plural noun]" in English. It could be argued that the plural forms are actually derivational. This is supported by the fact that some nouns actually change gender class when they are pluralized, as ''rixlu'' "person" does above. In the singular and partitive plural, it is in Class 5, which it shares with rugs and trees; in the non-partitive plural, it is a Class 6 noun, in the same category as words, water, and lizards. '''Case''' 'ižiitsigh is an ergative language; the agent of an intransitive verb and the patient of a transitive verb take the same case. However, nouns in the subject role of many transitive verbs take a third "passive" case. In addition, there are oblique (indirect object or recipient) and instrumental cases. For nouns that are arguments of a verb phrase at the head of a sentence, the case inflections are as follows: *absolutive -0 *ergative -b *passive -x *benefactive -lh *instrumental -k *inessive -sj *allative -m *ablative -gh '''Use of the Passive Case''' The passive case is used for nouns representing things that are an active force in creating the action described by the verb, but do not act under their own volition. For example, in the sentence ''&zwnj;'ire'ezjedjax 'euzjeutraza'atlh'' "Arrows have hit him", ''&zwnj;'ire'ezedj'' "arrows" is in the passive case. The passive is also used with intransitives, as in ''tegšerex 'ezjegheuzi'utj'' "The rug slipped". As a general rule, use the passive case whenever the subject of a sentence is inanimate. '''Nouns Modifying Nouns''' Whereas English and most other languages have just a few ways of expressing the possessive or genitive, 'ižiitsigh has many noun cases for such ideas that express the precise relationship between the things involved. *zjumige Biteuras "Peter's picture" (he owns it) *zjumige Biteuran "Peter's picture" (he drew it) *zjumige Biteuradj "Peter's picture" (the picture is of Peter) *zjumige Biteunar "Peter's picture" (he has it, but doesn't own it) *meuřauši Biteurau "Peter's mother" (he calls her "mother") *meuřauši Biteuzir "Peter's mother" (she gave birth to him) *tegnige Biteurasj "Peter's arm" (the arm is part of him) *tegnige Biteuzanir "Peter's arm" (a metaphorical reference to something that serves Peter as though it were his arm, but is not an arm or part of him) '''Possessive affixes''' In addition to the noun-modifying forms, there are pronominal affixes that allow the expression of possession by first, second, or third persons. *1st person singular -ni- *1st person plural -nsi- *2nd person singular -ri- *2nd person plural -lsi *3rd person Class 1 -tlhi- *3rd person Class 2 -sji- *3rd person Class 3 -bli- *3rd person Class 4 -hi- *3rd person Class 5 -tji- *3rd person Class 6 -gzji- *3rd person Class 7 -di- *3rd person Class 8 -gi- These endings are applied to the noun root first; then the possessive/genitive endings are applied. Infixes are applied before the pronominal ending. The ending -au replaces the final vowel of the pronominal affix. *zjumigenis "my picture" (I own it) *zjumigenin "my picture" (I drew it) *zjumigenidj "my picture" (the picture is of me) *zjumigenani "my picture" (I have it) *meuřaušinau "my mother" (I call her "mother") *meuřaušizini "my mother" (she gave birjith to me) *tegnigenisj "my arm" *zjumigeris "your picture" *zjumigenari "your picture" *zjumigelsis "your (pl) picture" *zjumigenalsi "your (pl) picture" *zjumigetlhis "his picture" *zjumigesjis "her picture" *zjumigeblis "its picture" *zjumigehis "its picture" *zjumigetjis "its picture" *zjumigegzjis "its picture" *zjumigedis "its picture" *zjumigegis "its picture" Words in possessive phrases can of course be plural, for example ite'egnige Biteurasj "Peter's arms", izju'umigetlhidj "his picture". ===Verbal Morphology=== Verbs in 'ižiitsigh cover approximately the same semantic space as verbs and adjectives in English. Verb roots take many affixes to inflect for tense, aspect, mood, evidentiality, gender of agent and patient, and the speaker's attitude toward the action under discussion. '''Tense, Mood, and Aspect''' The tense/aspect system works somewhat differently from that in English. The two tenses, narrative and present, indicate a "reference point". Aspects such as perfect/imperfect, inchoative, cessative, etc. delineate the time at which the action occurs in more detail. The present perfect has a wider use than in English, covering most uses of the preterit (except when the action in question is incomplete). The narrative tense puts the reference point in the past, enabling one to say things like "he had not yet gone" or "he was going to go". '''Inflecting for Tense, Mood, and Aspect''' Without further ado, here are the affixes for all the tenses and aspects in 'ižiitsigh. Tense suffixes are applied immediately after the stem; aspect affixes are prefixed to the stem. *Present Indicative -z- *Narrative Indicative -b- *Present Subjunctive -zj- *Narrative Subjunctive -g- *Imperative -m The aspectual system is more complicated, because aspects can be combined. (SV) below indicates reduplication of the first vowel of the verb stem. '''Perfect Aspect''' *Simple Perfect: (SV)- *Perfect Inchoative ha- "started" *Perfect Cessative keu- "stopped" *Perfect Desiderative 'ah(SV)- "wanted to" *Perfect Inchoative Inchoative 'iga- "was about to" *Perfect Inchoative Cessative nau- "was about to stop" *Perfect Inchoative Desiderative gh(SV)- "began to want" *Perfect Cessative Cessative tji- "finished" *Perfect Cessative Desiderative ši- "stopped wanting" *Perfect Desiderative Inchoative 'ahu- "wanted to start" *Perfect Desiderative Cessative 'ab(SV) "wanted to stop" *Perfect Desiderative Desiderative 'eumi- "wanted to want" '''Imperfect Aspect''' *Simple Imperfect: (no prefix) *Imperfect Inchoative ki- "starts" *Imperfect Cessative n(SV)- "stops" *Imperfect Desiderative mau- "wants to" *Imperfect Inchoative Inchoative tlha- "is about to" *Imperfect Inchoative Cessative 'ina- "is about to stop" *Imperfect Inchoative Desiderative ghi- "begins to want" *Imperfect Cessative Cessative di- "finishes" *Imperfect Cessative Desiderative 'iš(SV)- "stops wanting" *Imperfect Desiderative Inchoative xa- "wants to start" *Imperfect Desiderative Cessative dja- "wants to stop" *Imperfect Desiderative Desiderative mi- "wants to want" There are several other aspects that can be applied as prefixes. Each affix modifies the whole word including any affixes that follow it before the root, so the order in which they are applied is important. *Habilitative xi- indicates that the action is possible, equivalent to English constructions with "can". *Benefactive kje- indicates that the action is beneficial to society. *Punctual dji- indicates that an action occurs suddenly or instantaneously. *Excessive sja- indicates that an action is performed "too much"; also used with static verbs. *Habitual 'aa- indicates that the statement is generally true. *Iterative 'an(a)- indicates that the action is performed repeatedly. '''Evidentiality''' *-i- The event or state is common knowledge *-a- The speaker knows about the event from another, identifiable source *-aa- The speaker directly experienced this event *-au- The speaker heard about the event from another source but cannot verify its validity (IIRC in chatspeak) *-u- The truth of the event is subject to opinion (IMO in chatspeak) *-e- The speaker merely hypothesizes that the event occurs. '''Inflecting for person and attitude''' Predicates are inflected for the plurality, and person or gender, of two arguments. Exactly which two is somewhat complicated. The following rules apply: *The agent of an intransitive verb takes the first agreement slot. In the sentence "he runs", the verb "to run" would agree with "he". *The agent and patient of a transitive verb take the first and second slots, respectively. In the sentence "I eat it", the verb "to eat" would agree with "I" and "it". *If the verb's subject is in the passive case, and there is no agent or patient, the first slot takes the -'- unspecified agreement affix and the second agrees with the noun in passive case. In the sentence "The rocks rolled down the hill", the verb "to roll" would agree with "rocks". *If the verb has a patient specified but no agent or passive argument, the first slot takes -'- and the second slot agrees with the patient. *If there is an agent and a passive argument, but no patient, the agent takes the first agreement slot and the passive the second. In "He shot the arrow", the verb "to shoot" would agree with "he" and "arrow". *If there is a passive argument and a patient, but no agent, the passive takes the first agreement slot and the patient takes the second. In "The arrow hit him", the verb would agree with "arrow" and "him". *If there is an agent, a patient, and a passive argument, the verb agrees with the agent and patient only, in that order. In "She gives it to him", the verb would agree with "she" and "it", but not "him". *Verbs never agree with any arguments that are not in one of the cases above. The personal affixes are as follows. When two affixes are listed, the first one is used word-medially, the second is used word-finally. *1st person singular -n- *1st person plural -ns-, -nsi' (the final variant is often shortened to -ns in speech, but is pronounced as -nz) *2nd person singular -r- *2nd person plural -ls-, -lsi' *3rd person Class 1 -tlh- *3rd person Class 2 -š- *3rd person Class 3 -m- *3rd person Class 4 -h-, -x *3rd person Class 5 -tj- *3rd person Class 6 -gzj *3rd person Class 7 -d *3rd person Class 8 -gh *No agreement -'- '''Attitudinal Affixes''' An attitudinal affix is inserted between the agreement affixes to express the speaker's opinion of the situation. They are as follows: *Neutral -a- *Uncertain -e- *Satisfaction -i- *Joy -ii- *Horror, Disgust, Anger -eu- *Disappointment -u- *Sorrow -uu- A special affix ''-eke-'' prompts the listener to respond with his opinion on the situation. It can be combined with other attitudinals by inserting it after the other affix, using a glottal stop to separate them. ==Example Sentences== '''Xakjebaugžebitlhansi''' xa-kje-baugže-b-i-tlh-a-nsi' ''IMP.DES.INC-BEN-frighten.away-NARR-HEARSAY-AGT3.1-NEUTRAL-PAT1P'' "He began to want to benefit society by scaring us away."

language, demonstrably related to [[Tsonboran]]. The Bustaxian invasions of Levant begin around -3.7ka. The oldest inscriptions in the language date from -3.5ka. The Bustaxian Empire reaches its maximum extent (from central Persia and Afghanistan to Anatolia and Greece - not Caucasus, tho) around -3.2ka before decay sets in. The ruling dynasty takes refuge in northern Anatolia, and a separate Bustaxian state survives until trampled under the [[Altaic' expansion]] circa -1.4ka. Bustaxian continues to be used as a liturgical language. Sound changes from [[Proto-West Persian']]: ====to Proto-Bustaxoid==== * Coda m → n, with typical POA assimilation also finally kicking in. * Many clusters simplify to agree in voicing and/or MOA. ** P1F2 → F1F2 ** PL → BL ** NP → N̥P ** NF → N̥F * Dorsal fronting: plain velars become palatals, while uvulars become plain velars. ** The contrast is neutralized (to velars) in several environments, including (…) ** Labiovelars and ʀ are preserved. ** Palatal/coronal incompatibility: first member of a cluster yields to produce a geminate of the 2nd (except jd jt dj → rd rt ɟ(ː)). *** Also in case this comes up, θt, tθ → tː * Fricativ simplification: ɸ β θ ð ɬ ɮ → f v s z x j ** Initially ɣ h → ɡ ∅, elsewhere both → ɦ * t d alveolarize before velars (but not after) and adjacent to r, s * Cluster simplification continues: nw nj → nm nː, N̥P N̥F → Pː ːF * Coda j → ʝ → ... → ʃ/ʒ ====to Old Bustax==== * Voiced fricativs devoice in most positions * The alveolar allophones of t d affricate (cf.

[β ð z ɮ] are best analyzable as intervocalic allophones of their unvoiced counterparts. /χ/ and /ʁ/ do contrast, tho intervocalic /χ/ occurs only in inflection and is usually somewhat longer [χˑ]. Carrying over from Proto-Persian' was the feature that both nasals could occur before just about any consonants, apparently without any POA assimilation taking place. The existence of a separate, prenasal onglide for the folloing consonant has been proposed. ====Cluster/sandhi table==== {| !

'''Ngala''' and the [[Qatama]] [... {{Qatama}} =Ngala= [[Image:Nm ngala.gif]] '''Ngala''' is system of quasi-featural glyphs, mostly monosyllabic used to represent the [[Qatama]] language. '''Ngala''' and the [[Qatama]] [[conlang]] were invented by [[User:Qang|Qang]] for use in his [[conworld]], [[Qatama]]. It was created as an alternative to the alphabet [[Moj]]. =Notable features= * '''Ngala''' can be written vertically, in columns running from left to right, or horizontally. * The word 'Ngala' not only refers to the script but also means "a square, or a block" in Qatama - referring to the appearance of the glyphs. * Ngala contains 10 radicals arranged in blocks of four to form mono or disyllabic glyphs. * Many of the glyphs can be reverse-engineered to resemble the words or ideas they represent. * There is no punctuation used in Qatama, pauses, stops and questions are understood through the use of context and particles. =Formation of a glyph= [[Image:Ngala2.png]] ==Ngala radicals== [[Image:Ngala3.png]] ==Guidelines for connecting the radicals== * Each radical should be connected to at least one other radical. * The radicals should be connected at open points rather than at closed corners. * Aim to make the glyph be as "pictographic" as possible. Obviously excluding many abstracts and rigidly grammatical lexical entries. =Examples= [[Image:Ngala myong.png]] *'''myong''' - n. a large feline, tiger lion…etc. The picture shows a lion looking back over his shoulder. **As you can see, each radical spot is used, top left: '''m''', bottom left: '''ya''', top right: '''o''', bottom right: '''ng'''. In this glyph the '''o''' modifies the '''ya''' and makes it '''yo'''. [[Image:Ngala myong2.png]] *A possible handwritten version of '''myong''', but keep in mind, these glyphs would rarely ever be handwritten. [[Image:Ngala guja.png]] *'''guja''' - n. water, stream, creek The picture shows a stream running throw a forest. **In the above you see an example of a disyllabic glyph. *Disyllabic glyphs only occur when the second syllable is one of the following nuclei: '''a, o, ja, ha, ya, la, ra'''. *There are occasions when these are modifying the preceding nucleus and not acting as second syllables and the occurrences are based on phonotactic rules. E.g. '''ya-a''' is /ja:.a:/, but '''ya-o''' is /jo:/. [[Image:Ngala nha.png]] *'''n`ha''' - n. a cut, gash, slash v. to cut, hack, slice. **The picture shows an axe and a hatchet cutting a block of wood. *In this sample you see that only two radical positions are used, this is perfectly acceptable. They are variable to give way to more "pictographic" possibilities. [[Image:Ngala toj.png]] *'''toj''' - n. warrior, fighter, combatant. The picture shows a warrior, his shield and battle axe. *This sample shows how the secondary nucleus position can be used without the first, the glyph remains readable. [[Image:Ngala toj2.png]] *Another example of a handwritten glyph, '''toj'''. ---- [[Image:Ngala mogu.png]] *An example of a dual glyph pictograph. **'''mogu''' /mo:.gu:/ - n. sleep, rest, relaxation | v. to sleep, lay, rest =A longer sample= [[Image:Ngala mongha.png]] [[Category:Conscripts]][[Category:Qatama]] File:Nm moj2.PNG 5689 38215 2008-09-25T22:22:45Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moj]] File:Moj cons2.png 5690 38214 2008-09-25T22:22:18Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moj]] File:Moj vwl2.png 5691 38213 2008-09-25T22:21:58Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moj]] File:Moj num2.png 5692 38212 2008-09-25T22:21:39Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moj]] File:Moj sample2.png 5693 38211 2008-09-25T22:21:15Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moj]] Square Kufic/Gallery 5694 37366 2008-09-07T15:17:06Z Qang 1187 New page: This is a gallery for works related to, or using the [[Square Kufic]] script. ---- =Bismillah= [[Image:Bismillah1.GIF]] *[[wikipedia:Bismillah|Bismillah]] fully marked with [[wikipedia...

One of them, or another later design, could potentially replace the old logo if this is the community's wish. ==Anderson's variant== [[Image:Frathwiki2.png]] It is based on the pyramid in the conlang flag. Part of it is deliberately missing (revealing a gold glow beneath to represent insight) akin to the Wikipedia puzzle piece. I thought the texture looked a bit Gothic (relating to the word 'Frath', which is Gothic in origin). I am willing to have a go at alterations if you describe to me how the redesign should, in your opinion, differ. ==cedh audmanh's variant== [[Image:Frathwiki_logo_3.png]] Another design based on the [[Conlang flag]].<br> Below is a coloured version of the same, slightly resized: [[Image:Frathwiki_logo_4.png]] ==DeathShot's variant== [[Image:Frathwiki logo copy.jpg]] Clearly based on the distinct FrathWiki favicon. ==More designs and opinions== I would be happy to hear your feelings and see your own designs (but please do not use copyrighted material without permission.

Well, mostly the gold glo; the exposed part could use more wall thickness and/or shading (especially the exposed internal wall), as it currently looks a little too much like a parallelogram floating over the pyramid rather than a cavity. I get the WP connection, but I can't help thinking if a doorway would be easier to represent than a missing wall section. Ultimately some more detail inside might help too, I can't even tell if it's supposed to be a floor or a generic cavity. As for the "large favicon" — no technical gripes, but I think it looks a bit too symbolic considering it doesn't seem to have any particular conlang connection. Still, I think both have the eye beat. --[[User:Tropylium|John Vertical]] 18:14, 11 September 2008 (UTC) :I'll create a new version of my logo to implement some of these ideas.

[[User:Arkon|Arkon]] 21:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC) ::It's supposed to be an astrological symbol for [[wikipedia:Vulcan (hypothetical planet)|the hypothetical planet Vulcan]], which was invented (!) to explain irregularities in the orbit of Mercury; even after being disproved, it is apparently still recognized in esoteric astrology, and exists (more or less) in my own conworld [[Nother]]. (I'm not sure whether I remember the exact source of this form of the symbol. A bit of Googling shows it's normally given without the crossbar, e.g. at [http://www.astrologyweekly.com/learn-astrology/astrology-glyphs.php], [http://www.astralynx.com/studies/astrosymb.html]. It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, back then images of it weren't so easy to find in Google and I made the symbol only having a textual description of it to go on.) It doesn't have any particular connection to this wiki; it just happened to be the favicon for frath.net itself before the wiki came into existence, and it just transferred over. If a new logo is chosen, a new favicon could be designed to go with it. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 06:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC) :I can also easily make anything you want (or should be), so just pipe up!

(''See also'': [[Kala writing|Moya]]) ==== syllable stress ==== *'''Kala''' stress is penultimate; that is, the next-to-last syllable of the word is stressed. == Grammar == === word order === * The usual, declarative formal word order is ''subject noun phrase - (object noun phrase) - verb phrase''. :Example : He/She is preparing food. ::'''ha ina yaso''' ::''3sg food prepare'' * The "indirect object" exists only in the form of a prepositional phrase, and follows the object noun phrase. :Example : The woman gives the house to me. ::'''naka ka'e na ke tsaka yeta''' ::''woman to 1S the house give'' :* This construction changes when both the subject (agent) and (indirect)/object (patient) are personal pronouns. In this case, the preposition/al (phrase) is unnecessary. :Example : She gives the house to me. ::'''ha'ena ke tsaka yeta''' ::''3sg-TR-part-1sg a house give'' * A chart of the agent-patient transitivity constructions; {| class="wikitable" border=1 |+ '''A-P''' ''construction'' ! !!

These are respectively realized as '''-ki''' and '''-ka''' when attached to a word that has a final syllable containing '''h''' or '''y'''. :Example : '''ina''' - food, meal | '''inahi''' - snack, morsel | '''inaha''' - feast, banquet :Example : '''tsaka''' - house, home, dwelling | '''tsakahi''' - shack, hut, cabin | '''tsakaha''' - palace, mansion * These are also used to differentiate hue, or shade. :Example : '''yanahi''' - light yellow, '''kuyaha''' - dark green * In [[Kala]] the concepts of comparative and superlative degree of an adjective are merged into a single form, the elative. How this form is understood or translated depends upon context and definiteness. In the absence of comparison, the elative conveys the notion of “greatest”, “supreme.” :Example : '''tahaka''' - bigger/biggest | '''tsaka hayo ke nayo tahaka''' - His house is bigger than mine. :Example : '''yanaha''' - more yellow/most yellow | '''ke huam tayo yanaha''' - Your flowers are the most yellow. ==== plurals ==== * Concrete nouns are pluralized by suffixing '''-m'''. :Examples : '''kono''' - stone > '''konom''' - stones | '''naka''' - woman > '''nakam''' - women * When the last syllable of a word contains an '''m''', the plural is marked by reduplicating the final vowel. :Examples : '''kama''' - village > '''kama'a''' - villages | '''yama''' - mountain > '''yama'a''' - mountains * Collective (plural) nouns are marked by prefixing '''tli-'''. :Examples : '''tsaka''' - house > '''tlitsaka''' - neighborhood | '''yama''' - mountain > '''tliyama''' - mountain range * Nouns need not be marked plural if a number is used to show quantity. :Example : '''sahi''' - color > '''sahim''' - colors > '''sahi ya'o''' - five color(s) * Adjectives do not show plural agreement. However, when an adjective is used nominally, it can be pluralized. :Example : '''nyeli''' - pink > '''nyelim''' - (the) pink (ones) ==== gender ==== *In general, nouns do not indicate their gender. To distinguish the sexes, one can use the adjectival endings '''-ta''' and '''-na'''. :Example : '''nikata''' "a male dog", '''nikana''' "a female dog". ==== articles ==== *There is only one article in '''Kala''', '''ke'''. It is used primarily as a "noun marker". *It is ambi-definite, meaning it can be either definite or indefinite. The distinction is made through context. :Example : '''kama''' "village", '''ke kama''' "the/a village", '''ke kama'a''' "the villages" :Example : '''inahi''' "snack", '''ke inahi''' "the/a snack", '''ke inahim''' "the snacks" === questions === *When asking questions in '''Kala''', the idea, or concept, is the ''subject'', and the entire construction is followed by the interrogative particle '''ka'''. *'''ama...ka''' - when, lit: ''time...INT'' *'''ko...ka''' - who, lit: ''person [Agentive]...INT'' *'''koyo...ka''' - whose, lit: ''person-POSS...INT'' *'''nye...ka''' - why, lit: ''reason...INT'' *'''no...ka''' - what, lit: ''thing [Instrument]...INT'' *'''mo...ka''' - where, lit: ''place...INT'' *'''to...ka''' - how, what manner, lit: ''manner/method...INT'' *'''ku / o...ka''' - how much/many, lit: ''number/amount...INT'' ==== examples ==== *'''ama nam yalatli ka''' :''time 1PL go-FUT INT'' :When will we go? *'''ko ke tlaka ka''' :''person that man INT'' :Who is that man? *'''nye kam hina ka''' :''reason 3PL here INT'' :Why are they here? *'''no a ka''' / '''itla ka''' :''thing be INT'' / ''this INT'' :What is this? *'''koyo kama ke yama hina ka''' :''person-POSS village the mountain near INT'' :Whose village is near the mountain? *'''mo satila nayo ka''' :''place sandwich 1SG-POSS INT'' :Where is my sandwich? *'''to nam yalatli ka''' :''manner 1PL travel-FUT INT'' :How will we travel? *'''ku ekam yetaye ka''' :''amount TR-3PL give-PAST INT'' :How many were they given? === pronouns === {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !!

However, in 1455, a great earthquake tore the island into two and thus splitting the north and south and isolating each other. The north became known as Lincapo and the south as Espiritola. The languages are about 85% lexically intelligible. == Comparison == The following are examples in both conlangs, and English. '''English:''' The Liège waffle (from the city of Liège, in eastern Belgium) is a waffle usually bought and eaten warm on the street. They are usually freshly made in small shops, but it is also possible to buy them in supermarkets. They are smaller, sweeter and denser than "Belgian waffles".

RealNetworks - the firm behind the software - has responded to restraining order issued by a US court stopped selling the RealDVD software. Six major movie studios jointly sued the company on 30 September - the day the software was launched. San Francisco District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel is due to review the case on 7 October. Common ground RealDVD is touted by RealNetworks as a legal way to turn a PC into a media server. "It makes it easy to pause a programme and resume right where you left off, makes it easy to find the movie you want and no more lost or scratched discs," said Rob Glaser, chief executive of RealNetworks, on his firm's blog. Mr Glaser claims that a second layer of encryption is built into the software but the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) said RealDVD circumvents its rules about copying. The RealDVD site was taken down on 3 October but a defiant message posted to it read: "Rest assured, we will continue to work diligently to provide you with software that allows you to make a legal copy of your DVDs for your own use." Mr Glaser expressed disappointment at the turn of events. "As a company with a nearly 15 year track record of innovation that's both great for consumers and fully respectful of intellectual property, we're disappointed that the movie studios thought they had to file lawsuits," he wrote in his blog. "We began active discussions with the studios even before we announced RealDVD and up until last night were optimistic that we could find common ground with them without having to resort to the legal system," he added. The studios suing the firm are Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal, Disney and Warner Bros. The MPAA is currently prohibited from commenting on the case. RealNetworks is no stranger to controversy. In 2004 Apple accused it of "hacker tactics" when it claimed to have found a way for non-Apple endorsed music tracks to be played on an iPod.

"An Aùbedìl" or "Halàfdil" was traditionally used all over Tarânia, but since the Tarânian Empire four years ago decided on opening its borders to international visitors, the use of the [[Latin]] [[alphabet]] has been highly promoted, and nowadays "an Aùbedìl" is mainly restricted to governmental publications, whereas the Latin alphabet is used in all other situations. The following letters are used when writing Diès with the Latin alphabet.

'''The Tarânian Empire's''' state regarding its [[language]]s can be described with the phrase ''''' The more, the merrier''''' Apart from real languages such as [[English]] or [[Swedish]], the Tarânian Empire has three constructed languages called Eòlas, Te Rêo Tarânia and Diès of which Diès is by far the most used one. Addressing the Salmwddyn The Salmwddyn may be addressed in [[Swedish]], [[Diès]], [[English]], [[German]], Eòlas, Te Rêo Tarânia and [[French]] in a conversation. The Salmwddyn of Tarânia will gladly answer letters written in any of the following languages; [[Swedish]] [[Diès]] [[English]] [[German]] [[French]] [[Italian]] [[Scottish Gaelic]] [[Irish Gaelic]] [[Spanish]] [[Norwegian]] [[Danish]] [[Icelandic]] [[Faroese]] '''Writing to Embassies''' When writing to a Tarânian Embassy, one shall adress the ambassador in the language of the state in wich he or she is living, or in English, as ambassadors are not from the Swedish part of Tarânia, but from the country in which he or she is residing! '''Electing Ambassadors''' Tarânian ambassadors are chosen by the Salmwddyn and / or the Prime Minister of the Tarânian Empire, and anyone may apply for the right to call him- or herself a Tarânian Ambassador, however there can only be a maximum of one ambassador per country, preferably residing in the capital of his or her native country, and a maximum of 1 consul per province (known as Länder or Kantonen in the German speaking countries, Estados in the Spanish speaking countries and states in many English speaking countries) A family may be an ambassador family, where both the mother and the father are considered embassadors as is the case in Germany. _____________________ As Diès is a language with different pronounciations and spellings if the speaker or writer is male or female, both Diès and Díis will be accepted. Diès is spoken and written by men, whereas Díis is spoken by women.

''' Citizenship''' '''The Tarânian Empire''' is an independent, sovereign nation within the borders of [[Sweden]], having virtual land as well consisting of a number of islands, that peacefully claimed independence from the Kingdom of Sweden in 2003, although the Swedish government doesn't seem to have noticed this fact. Everyone interested in becoming a citizen of Tarânia may apply for citizenship, however in order to do so one must sign a treaty with the Crown, declaring that one will never break Tarânian as well as International Laws, always treat other peoples regardless of sex, religion, ethnicity and sexuality with respect, as any breach of these rules will result in the law breaker being expelled from the Tarânian Empire. '''The Tarânian Empire''' allows citizens to have multiple citizenships, and uses the following rules to bestow citizenship upon a person; '''Jus sanguiniis''', that is if one of the parents has Tarânian citizenship, the child will automatically be considered a citizen of the Tarânian Empire '''Jus soli''' If a citizen is borned within the borders of the Tarânian Empire, he or she are considered citizens of the Tarânian Empire and of the State wherein they reside. '''Jus Matrimonii'''; A person will automatically gain Tarânian citizenship by marrying a Tarânian citizen '''Naturalization''' As the lands of the Tarânian Empire are relatively small, the naturalization progress differs slightly from that of e.g the United Kingdom. Any regular visitor to the Tarânian Empire may claim citizenship through naturalization. '''Apply''' Anyone that are willing to become a citizen of the Tarânian Empire may apply for citizenship. Citizenships are free of charge, however keep in mind that documents confirming Tarânian citizenship will only be mailed to people that include a correctly pre-stamped envelope with their request. The Tarânian Empire 5774 37904 2008-09-16T19:12:25Z Salmwddyn 1245 ''' the Tarânian Empire''' '''The Tarânian Empire''', or simply '''Tarânia''', is a nation in northern [[Europe]] within the borders of Sweden. Tarânia is mainly situated in another realm, however it occupies a part of a village called Stärkesmark within the municipality of Vännäs in the northern part of Sweden, as well as an apartment in Gothenburg where the emperor resides. Tarânia was founded in 2003 by the Emperor who when addressed in formal situations should be called '''Salmwddyn of Keremaro''', however this is just a title and the real name of the emperor is Johan Erik Martin Sandberg. The word Tarânia is derived from the Eòlas Tar ân Iar - the Western Isles. '''[[Government]] and [[politics]]''' The head of state is the Salmwddyn of Keremaro, and in the government, there are several Ladys, Lairds and Commons. The government however follows the laws dictated by the Swedish State, whoms currency as well is used when residents of Tarânia leave the borders. However, within the borders both Swedish Crowns and Rŵals are accepted.

The distinction between [l] and [r] seems very minor, with [l] mostly occurring between front vowels. Likewise the distinction between [k] and [ɡ] applies mostly intervocally. We might be able to analyze medial [k ɡ] as /kk k/. Similarly, tho there's no medial [t], medial [d] might be /t/. I now see my original idea to have [r] as the medial allophone of /t/ seems unlikely: if [rɡ] is to be /tk/, medial voicing/lenition needs to apply thru two stops, but [ʃk kʃ] demonstrate it not applying thru a stop and a fricativ? OTOH not even single medial [ʃ] is voiced, so /ʃ/ is clearly more resilient to voicing (perhaps its distinguishing feature is not continuancy, but stridency). There is also the option of an underlying /r/ ''fortified'' to [t] adjacent to a word boundary. These models differ in a few testable respects: an underlying /t/ or /d/ would lead to clusters [ʃt tʃ], while an underlying /r/ would lead to [ʃr rʃ]. The labial situation seems more straightforward: the two possibilities initially suggesting itself are [w] = /u/ and [w] = /p/, but since there is no overlap between these two scenarios, we can simply go with a single labial phoneme [p w u] = /P/ as long as no roots beginning with [pu-] turn up. ==Grammar== Tentativ verbal morphology breikdown: {| |- ! stem<br/>(root + derivational) !! aspect<br/>(1) !! object<br/>number !! instrument !! agent !! aspect (2)<br/>/ tense |- | ''arawa-'' || ''-gi-'' || ''-ʃ-'' || ''ʃina'' ||colspan="2"| ''-t'' (Nth P unmarked?) |- | ''kogeero+n-'' || ''-o-'' || ''-ʃ-'' ||colspan="3"| (…) ''kioowon'' |- | ''paa-'' ||<!--no stem-internal V1:V2--> ''-o-'' || ∅<!--intransitiv--> || ''kokok'' || ''ʃorda'' |- | ''noni-'' || ''-gi-'' || ''-r(o?)-'' || ''guriʃ'' || ''kao'' || ''-ː'' |- | ''ʃele+''<small>REDUP</small>- || ''-ː-'' || ''-ro-'' || (…) ''naneerenek'' |- | ''kaginni-'' || (?) || ''-ro-'' || (…) ''ʃoweaalaka'' |- | ''peʃa+''<small>REDUP</small>- || ''-ː-ne-''|| ''-ro-'' || ''gorono'' || ''we'' || ''-ː'' |} Non-verbal: *''elewargaranaanawe'' *''tenekwaruguʃaadun'' Syntactical notes: * SV, hed-initial * generally nominativ alignment; some intransitiv verbs display traces of absolutiv behavior * indirect object information incorporated into verb phrase * direct object goes where?? * a clause may contain multiple (morphologically complete) verb phrases * specific morphology for noting constituents shared by multiple VPs * subclauses mostly renderable by modified VPs ==The cryptolect== A highly unusual feature appearing in Classical Chinese is the creation of ritual jargon based on repeating religious chants with distinct phonetical variations.

Today, he speaks out on his changes and plans. ==Introduction== [[Image:Anderson Ray.jpg|240px|thumb|left|Sean Anderson and Ray Davies, of The Kinks, in Nottingham, 2007]] I first noticed this wiki last year, looking for a place that would host my conlang's grammar. FrathWiki was a very opportune find; it's accessible, familiar and the administrator Muke pays a lot of attention to it. Another great thing is being able to host one's conlang among thousands of other pages, being part of a community. In early 2008, my thoughts began to drift from my personal project in an endeavour to make that community great. I sketched out designs for a new concise, vibrant Main Page to replace what I felt to be an outdated layout (in use from 2003!). I'm 16 years old with a conlang called West Germanic, née Piscean, studying English, French, German and 20th Century History at The Rutland College, in England's smallest county with Europe's largest reservoir. FrathWiki, alongside Kinks fan fora (yes, they are my favourite band), is one of my favourite websites. As well as using it for uploading information regarding my efforts, I love reading others' articles. As a result of this, I want to make FrathWiki community-friendly. I feel very passionate; now with lots of experience, I want the best for all condoers and will happily dedicate some of my time to help those who want it. ==Main Page, Community Portal and Current Events== I aimed to separate the Main Page into digestable chunks and elimative unncessary ramblings. Now there's a short introductory box, cutting to the chase for those that are new to the site, a box of topics, allowing easy access for frequent users of the site and a 'FrathWiki in other languages' box, now extended into a new initiative (see below). I personally found having the help and information links scattered in a lengthy description of the wiki a little off-putting, so decided to adopt a new Support bar at the top of all the primary pages. All the support given on the site can be found here in one click. The new layout is ideal for people who know what they are looking for, e.g. if one wants a list of conlangs, one clicks 'Conlangs' in the Topics box. It's never been easier. Added to the links in the Topics is one to the Linguistics category because I think FrathWiki could be an excellent resource where conlangers want technical, to-the-point information about natlangs, especially with the marvellous job Blackkdark is doing. Additionally added is a link to a conlang relays category; relays are a popular activity and FrathWiki has the perfect framework to host them, so I believe this should be highlighted. Despite FrathWiki being set up in 2003, two primary pages (the Community Portal and Current Changes), had never been in use until 2008. To keep the Main Page brief, I've moved some of its former content to the new Community Portal, also adding links to improve stubs, expand collaborative projects and to administrator Muke's talk page (I'll soon be adding a link to mine, so I can help too). The latest addition is the Current Changes page, which I hope to be used as a record of major changes to FrathWiki, including upgrades to the MediaWiki software, for alerts to goings-on in the global community, for a place for people to advertise initiatives and as a front-end - thanks to DPL - to the new FrathShed (see below). ==FrathWiki in other languages initiative== The user Imbecilica, with the creation of some encyclopaedic articles translated into his conlang Espirolitan, gave me another community-related idea. Why not allow a few encyclopaedic articles with the purpose of people being able to store translation exercises and demonstrate the usability of their conlangs to others? Now, the recognisable 'FrahtWiki in other languages' box first built into the main page can be included on other pages, allowing FrathWikians to have pages translated between conlangs at the click of a mouse. I think this is a fun feature! It also led me to another idea regarding translation exercises, explained in the following section. ==FrathShed== There has always been a sandbox, which users could use to sketch their new conlang ideas, but I feel that my new FrathShed is a continuation of this idea. The FrathShed category is there for users to place pages paired with their established conlang grammars. A FrathShed page is a personal way of keeping track of one's conlang, so using short-hand does not matter. Committing material to the FrathShed is not with the intention of it being read, though others are encouraged to check it out from a distance (i.e. not edit). Users are encourage to update FrathShed articles regularly, with changes appearing on the Current Events page, so FrathWikians can observe the evolution of fellow users' projects, and draw inspiration for their own. Contact [[User talk:Pisceesumsprecan|Anderson]] for advice on the FrathShed and FrathWiki in other languages initiative; I am here to help. ==New logo== As of 11th September, with Muke's approval, ongoing trials are underway to find a new iconic logo for FrathWiki, representing the conlang community. Feel free to join the debate and submit your own designs. I am today working to improve my own, so watch out for the upload of my second pyramid adaptation, following others' suggestions. There is a good chance we'll see a new logo before Christmas 2008 - another FrathWiki 'rebranding' milestone! The mission to find a new logo gave birth to the News banner project template, which is designed to spark community discussions about site-related matters that would otherwise be unknown. Contact [[User talk:Pisceesumsprecan|Anderson]] if you think you have some news. ==Upcoming== ===Twinned with Conlanger BBoard=== Zompist BBoard has its own KneeQuickie, which is popular, but I find it clumsy in parts and not as accessible as FrathWiki. However, it does a good job of hosting collaborative threads long-term. The very friendly, in my opinion, Conlanger BBoard has no means to do this. I might soon begin to add established Translation Challenges and possibly previous Teach and Learn courses for easy access, also allowing one to find what one is looking for more efficiently (the wiki layout is perfect for this). ===''Potential'' further updates to the Main Page=== Many of you on the fora voiced a desire to have featured pages, whose content could be cycled on the Main Page, giving people equal chances of having their detailed conlang pages noticed. I love this idea, but it is difficult for me to implement. I have some ideas as to how to go about this, but at the end of the day, it is down to the admin team, especially Muke. Consulting with him on this matter is on my to-do list, particularly after the new logo idea has been been implemented or dismissed. I've also spotted some nifty extensions that might be of use to the wiki CSS. This includes a fixed left sidebar that keeps its place despite scrolling the article (I personally find it very frustrating having to scroll up and down to open, say, the Recent Pages link in a new tab while I continue working on my article). Another is an inbuilt Java chat, which places a Chat tab in the top bar next to the Edit, History, Move and Watch tabs - good for collaboration efforts! =='Devoted to FrathWiki'== As you can see, I've done my best to enhance the FrathWiki experience and I only hope that you enjoy my changes. I will remain devoted to FrathWiki, so send your opinions to me and I will respond readily. Thank you for reading this article!

While the vocabulary draws inspiration mainly from Faroese and Scottish Gaelic, the grammar shares feautures mainly with Swedish and Scotish Gaelic. Diès is a SVO language, but uses mutations, so called lenitions, and contracted prepositions, features borrowed from the Goidelic languages. Diès was created by two Swedish siblings as a con-lang for a book project and later became one of the offical languages of the Tarânian Empire, a micronation with both con-world features and actual land in the province of Västerbotten, Sweden. For more information about the language and the grammar of Diès and the Tarânian Empire, please visit the following pages; [[The Tarânian Alphabet]] [[a dictionary of Diès]] [[The Tarânian State's Language Policy]] [[Tarânian Citizenship]] [[The Tarânian Empire]] [[Members of the Tarânian Government]] [[Diès on the internet]] [[Diès Grammar]] Diès Grammar 5797 38075 2008-09-22T05:35:46Z Salmwddyn 1245 /* Articles */ == '''Grammar''' == Diès is a synthetic language. Nouns and pronouns, adjectives and articles are marked for two cases: nominative or base form, and the vocative. Genitive is formed in three different ways. Either by using "-s" added to the "owner" (definite) of a certain object, leaving the "owned object" lenited in its indefinite singular form, eg. "valans ghlòys", meaning the woman's glass. The second version uses the word við between the accusative definite (first position) and the subject definite (second position). Eg. "Cùn við valan" - The woman's dog. Genitive can also be formed with personal possessives. If a noun is preceded by a possessive adjective, the following noun will be lenited, eg. "mo chu", meaning "my dog" == '''Articles''' == Articles follow the noun, as in Swedish '''Indefinite plural''' -consonant; +âr eg. Glòys-ar = glasses -i; +s eg. Tafli-s = tables -a; +or, -a eg. Val-or = women -ra; +s eg. Litra-s = letters '''definite article, plural''' -âr; +ni eg. Glòysar-ni -s; +arni eg. Taflis-arni -or;+ni eg. Valor-ni '''indefinite artice, singular''' indefinite and definite singular articles are based on Swedish articles. If a Swedish noun is a so called neuter, the Diès equivalent will be a neuter as well. In eg. in janti It eg. it glòys '''definite article, singular''' vowel; +n/t eg. janti-n consonant; +in/it eg. glòys-it == '''Verbs''' == Diès verbs indicate person. A verb can be made negative, potential ("can"), or impotential ("cannot") by being left un-conjugated after the verb ''"kannir, kannir nið"'' conjugated after person. Furthermore, Diès verbs show tense (present, past and future). Negation is expressed by the word "nið" following the conjugated verb. Future is made by the verb ''"vilir"'' being conjugated, followed by an unconjugated verb to be expressed in the future tense. Eg. ''"Èi vil gangir - I will walk"'' Past tense is expressed by adding að or 'ð to conjugated verbs if in the 1st or 2nd person singular. Eg. ''"Èi varað, ann vara'ð"'' If the pronoun precedes a verb in its full version, ad is placed in front of said verb, eg. ''"Visi að gangir - we walked"'' '''''Verbs conjugate as follows;''''' I and You; verb stem, as in ''"Èi var, þù var"'' He / she / ir; verb stem +a, as in ''"ann vara, enn vara, sen vara"'' We, You, They; full verb, as in ''"Vìsi varir, auri varir, Þey varir"'' FrathWiki talk:News/Anderson wants FrathWiki revolution 5798 38112 2008-09-22T23:02:22Z Muke 1 Wow, I was mentioned for my Natlang work. I'm so touched (in all ways appropriated). On that note, I should say that anyone who has a request should come to me directly, AND if anyone has a conlang which refers back to one of the natlangs I've done, I'd encourage that person to link it, so people have choices in reference. Also, if they contact me we can make lists of Conlangs in individual language pages. Keep up the good work everyone.--[[User:Blackkdark|Blackkdark]] 15:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC) == CSS fixed sidebar == The difficulty with most fixed sidebars is they have a tendency to leave links inaccessible to those of us with smaller screens and those who for legibility reasons are working at larger font sizes. (On my screen for example the toolbox is cut off halfway on userpages just at normal font size, and at just 150% everything below the search box requires scrolling down.) If a graceful way to allow the sidebar to scroll separately itself could be integrated, that might be doable though. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 23:02, 22 September 2008 (UTC) File:Ecta kora.GIF 5799 38069 2008-09-21T22:22:07Z Qang 1187 File:Frathwiki logo 3.png 5800 38100 2008-09-22T12:38:33Z Cedh audmanh 313 link... an idea for a FrathWiki logo based on the [[Conlang flag]] design Proto-Insane 5801 46328 2009-06-23T11:03:34Z Tropylium 756 /* Fate */ cat A world-internal conlang, derived from [[Classical Chinese']], yet the grammar and lexicon are entirely ''a priori'' (tho influenced by its parent).

Some initial phonetic developments are loss of difthong openness and high vowel roundness distinctions;, follo'd by raising of the difthongs to high long monoftongs. Glottalization, unfamiliar in the region, separates as a prosodic feature medially and is lost initially. The palatals decay to postalveolars (sometimes velars), and the velar lateral fricativ becomes /χ/. Proto-Insane thus comes to contain a slightly diminished but still formidable sound inventory of 42 consonants and 18 vowels: {| |- | pʰ || tʰ || ʧʰ || kʰ || qʰ || |- | p || t || ʧ || k || q || ʔ |- | bʱ || dʱ || ʤʱ || ɡʱ || ɢʱ || |- | b || d || ʤ || ɡ || ɢ || |- | || n || nʲ || ŋ || ɴ || |- | || l || lʲ || ʟ || || || |- | || ɬ || ɬʲ || || || || |- | || s || ʃ || || χ || |- | β || z || ʒ || || ʁ || |- | w || ɹ || j || || || |- | || r || || || ʀ || |} --- {| |- | i || iː || u || uː |- | e || eː || o || oː |- | ɛ || ɛː || ɔ || ɔː |- | || ɐ || ɐː || |- | æ || æː || ɑ || ɑː |} [[Category:Earth']] User:Cedh audmanh 5802 38128 2008-09-23T16:11:23Z Cedh audmanh 313 user page creation * The collaborative conworld '''[[:Category:Akana|Akana]]'''.

'''an''' Red-þu ...? -- Do you speak ...? (''"an" can be ommited but is usually used to emphazise that the following verb is, indeed said as a question'') Hvad nifs þu? -- What is your name? Sen varað mað-þi a-meìdir-- Nice to meet you. Hversveigni geins eð-þi -- How are you? Hvar vara bigùilssiòmrat? -- Where is the bathroom?

English, but usually answers with a negative or positive form of the verb in the asked question. As the verbs will have to be conjugated according to the question form, a separate answer form is used. Set phrases do exist with words for "yes" and "no", though Sià, frenði-mo -- Yes, my friend; Hàneil, frenði-mo -- No, my friend; In order to turn a verb into its answer form the following rules apply; Èi; "verb stem-èi" (nið) Q: Toùl þu cùnâr? -- Do you like dogs? A: Coùnâr toùl-ei. -- I like dogs.

It is often categorized as consisting of one major group (the northern and central branches of the [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages | Rajo-Faraneit Family]] as well as [[Lotá]] and to a lesser extent [[Tnusjakt]] and the non-Bokeih branches of [[Pre-Tir'jauta]] like [[Héhà]]) and a secondary group (the eastern [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages]], the various descendents of the Bokeih branches [[Pre-Tir'jauta]]). Nonetheless, these two subgroups are quite frequently treated as parts of the larger sprachbund despite their differences. In a few instances, based almost exclusively on noun class and morphological evidence, [[Etimri]] is included as well. =Phonological Evidence= There is a variety of phonological evidence to support the idea surrounding this sprachbund, but this section of the link has frequently taken a back seat to syntax. ==Broken Voicing Systems== ===The Broken Voicing Theory=== Perhaps the most common piece of phonetic evidence is the prevalence of broken voicing systems variously applied to fricatives and plosives (most famously plosives however). This situation is best exemplified by [[Faraneit]] which has the pairings /p b/, /f v/, /t d/, and /s z/ (and in some dialects /ʃ ʒ/ or /ç ʝ/) but staunchly lacks even [g ɢ] alongside its /k q/ and without [ð] but with /θ/. It's contrast of voiced/voiceless is broken - present for some but lacking for a number of others. Usually, labials and alveolar/dental stops and fricatives contrast voiced and voiceless pairs, but the contrast weakens or degrades to nonexistent further back in the mouth, often for palatals, almost always for velars and uvulars. In the few examples of /g/ or similar phonemes, they are typically slant phonemes or highly restricted in environment (for example, [[Kelsiut]]). ===Controversy Against Broken Voicing Theory=== Broken Voicing Theory, while popular, is not universally accepted as truth, particularly given evidence within the subgroup mentioned in the earlier introduction of this article. Those languages lack a true voicing distinction for their entire plosive and fricative series - therefore rendering the entire discussion meaningless. ==Relative Tonality== Virtually every language has some level of of tonality, from the most simple pitch-stress systems like Faraneit and Kelsiut, to lexical tone as in the many Eastern Rajo-Faraneit languages and Héhà. =Morphological Evidence= Morphology is the backbone of this sprachbund - providing the vast majority of the evidence of influence among all of the languages. ==Optional or Weakened Number Marking== For the vast majority of this languages, again, marking a given noun as plural is not required in most or all circumstances. This situation is most obvious in [[Rajo-Faraneih Languages]] where verbs mark for their subjects person (and in rare cases their gender too) but not plurality. For Faraneit, grammatical number is not inflected at all within the verbal system - where karotej (to give) yields karotejeih (I/We give), karotejih (Thou/You give), and karotejoah (He/She/It/They give(s)). Similarly, Héhà's extensive clitic system has highly entrenched formality, animacy, and human/non-human distinctions in addition to even various inanimate subclasses but only distinguishes number optionally in the third person of one clitic which is the most devoid of meaning (being the equative). The only other even remotely related plurality-marking in the language is highly confused with the inclusive/exclusive distinction (where to express singular only the exclusive is used, obviously) and is traditionally seen as non-numeric. ==Inclusive/Exclusive, Obviative/Proximate, and Third/Fourth Distinction== The vast majority of the languages in this region have some level of inclusive/exclusive marking for first person and where this is not the case, often the inclusive has shaded into the obviative/proximate or third/fourth person distinctions also found through out the region. ==Fluid or Weakened Gender Marking== Unlike most concepts of grammatical gender, noun classes for this sprachbund can be viewed as purely descriptive. A given noun can be treated as animate to stress its changeability, its motility, its edibility, its size, its intelligence, its complexity, its worth, and a number of other qualities. The noun class is open, however, and virtually all nouns can be used as any of the genders. ==Fluid or Broad Lexical Categories== All languages have methods of changing one function of a word, say as a noun (laughter), into an action associated with the noun, a verb (to laugh) or vice versa, but this sprachbund surpasses most with the fluidity and broadness of its lexical categories. ===Verb-Noun=== Virtually all of these languages have verb-nouns: words that can act as a noun or a verb, with various conjugative or case endings attached to the same base. It has often been proposed that there is a uniquely Measceineafh form of verb-noun - which inherently acts as a sort of noun describing the action of a verb (eating, sleeping, thinking, screaming) and can be shaded as either more of an action or a thing through context and derivative morphology. For example, within Lotá, this basic verb-noun is fundamental to most of the language's functioning: Base Verb-Noun: lá (lagg-) = bleeding, blood, wound Verbal forms: Imperfect: laggi = continue to bleed Perfect: laggsi = have bled, finished bleeding Negatives: laggiatna, laggsiatna = not bleeding, not having bled Optatives: laggindi, laggsindi = should be bleeding, should have bled Negative Optatives: laggindiatna, laggsindiatna = should not be bleeding, should not have bled etc... Nominal forms: Nominative: lá Accusative: laggyn Oblique: laggty Please note that the change in ending from verb-noun to other forms (the sudden appearance of -gg-) is a regular mutational affect due to the extensive simplification of word terminal endings - not a derivational morpheme of any kind. ===Modifiers=== Throughout all of these languages, there is either a limited or nonexistent distinction between a modifier of nouns (what many languages term an adjective) and a modifier of other lexical categories (an adverb). The same words are usually used in both situations. An example from [[Hana]]: The fast man is leaving. yxi xo vezo yxi xo v-e-z-o man fast go-PRES-REAL-3 But also The man is leaving quickly. yxi vezo xo man going fast ==Small Case Systems== Syntactic case marking plays a large role in virtually all of the languages in this sprachbund, but morphologically marked cases are also present in nearly the total sum of the languages. Nonetheless, an actually gripping similarity is the frequent range of case numbers. In most dialects of [[Faraneit]] is approaches six and [[Fraze]] and [[Rajat]] have five cases. This is typically the upper limit, while languages like [[Lotá]], [[Tnusjakt]] and others fall towards the sharply close minimum of three. ==Highly Interpolated Case Systems== Both as a cause and a byproduct of the smaller case systems, the typical case in a typical language within this Sprachbund generally is very similar (function as a derivative case or a derived case) to the various other cases. For instance, within Faraneit, there is no proper distinction between nominative and accusative outside of a hazy series of syntactic rules. Furthermore, the other cases (the oblique cases) are blatantly derived from this word form - not that both are derived from another form (ie: competitive cases, such as in many other languages like Latin, where there is a nominative ending and a dative ending that are mutually exclusive). Compare these two paradigms (with the various words for servant or slave): Kupmec Latin Nom Kot Servos Acc Kot Servom Dat Nykot Servō Abl Vykot Servō Gen Syskot Servī For Latin, the nominative is inherently differentiated from the "root" (servos and serv- respectively), whereas in Faraneit the nominative-accusative is the root. ===Dative/Lative and Ablative/Delative=== A common symptom of the collapsed case systems are cases that have been applied to a variety of situations - the most widespread forms of this being association of the Dative with Lative meanings and the Ablative with more general Delative meanings. This situation will strike speakers of German or many other case-bearing Indo-European languages, as within that family Dative is widely preferred for states, the accusative for motion towards (Lative), and various ad hoc forms for motion away (Delative). Again, for comparison's sake: I was at school because he was going to come to school. He had come from his house. is translated to Ich war in der Schule (dative) weil er in die Schule (accustive) gegangen hat. Er war von dein Haus (accusative) gekommen. and Kojeih fheis feascoj (genitive) teih lhefh, pafheujoah neih feascoj (dative). Pafheujoah veit tis (ablative). =Syntactic Evidence= The relative divergence of even related languages within this area on some issues of syntax (default principle word order for instance - with [[Faraneit]] as VSO, [[Fórong]] as SOV, [[Kelsiut]] as SVO, and [[Hana]] with both SVO and VSO) hides a large number of similarities on smaller issues that unite them across genetic lineage. ==Quality Against Quantity== Virtually all of the languages mentioned in this article make a distinction syntactically between quantifying and qualifying modifiers. Typically, quantifiers proceed their head, while qualifiers follow. An example from Héhà explains very easily: Mákó gapákó kxùdó báratá. fall.IMP three-INANI-STICKY fruit(s) ugly Three ugly fruits fell. The quantifier (gapákó) proceeds the noun, but the qualifier (báratá) follows. The same situation can be found in Faraneit: Boaneicejeih heav telheic lepeir. eat-PRES-1-SING one telheic sweet I'm eating one sweet telheic-fruit. Again, the quantifier proceeds but the qualifier follows.

[[User:Qang|~Sano~]] Voiced postalveolar fricative 5813 58905 2011-01-16T13:48:51Z Longrim 1289 /* To */ The Voiced Postalveolar fricative /'''ʒ'''/ is also known as a palatal, because of some of the influence of the palate in direction of the tongue, but it's not a true palatal sound. ==Natlangs== ===English=== [[English]], like many language, has many loanwords from French which have the /ʒ/ sound. In many cases the sound is transformed into /ʤ/ in English, due to English tendency towards that sound. However, there are a few words which do have /ʒ/ outside of French loanwords. Examples include ''plea'''s'''ure'' /plɛʒɘɹ/, ''lei'''s'''ure'' /liʒəɹ/ or /lɛʒəɹ/, ''A'''s'''ia'' /eʒə/, ''vi'''s'''ion'' /vɪʒən/. ===[[Romance Languages]]=== ====[[French]]==== The sound /ʒ/ is represented two different ways in French. The first way is the orthographic '''j'''. The second ways is to get '''g''' before '''i''' or '''e'''. This is a common sound in the French language, making it one of the signature sounds of it. Many languages can get this sound via French Loanwords. ====[[Spanish]]==== In some dialects of American Spanish, such as Argentinian Spanish, the /j/ sounds (spelt '''ll''' or '''j''') is pronounced /ʒ/. ==Orthography== Languages of the world represent /ʒ/ in several ways: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Written !! Languages |- ! j || [[French]], [[Portuguese]], [[Romanian]], [[Turkish]] |- ! ž || [[Czech]] |- ! ż || [[Polish]] (more exactly [[Voiced alveolo-palatal sibilant|[ʑ]]]) |- ! zs || [[Hungarian]] |- ! ж || [[Cyrillic alphabet]] (quite standard) |} ==Conlangs== ==Sound changes== ===To=== * In [[English]], {{IPA|/zj/}} became {{IPA|/ʒ/}}. For example, ''vision'' {{IPA|/vɪzjən/}} → {{IPA|/vɪʒən/}} * In [[Latvian]], {{IPA|/dj/}} became {{IPA|/dʒ/}} and eventually {{IPA|/ʒ/}}. For example, compare "briedis" ("a deer" (Nom.)) {{IPA|/'bria̯dis/}} and "brieža" ("od a deer"(Gen.)){{IPA|/'bria̯ʒa/}}. ==Sources== This page is by [[Timothy Patrick Snyder]].

It is important to note that some of these names can be forenames and surnames, while others fall strictly into one category or the other. Feminine names are often indistinguishable form masculine, however, names that are exclusively feminine will be annotated as such. =Names= Qatama names usually consist of two or three parts, depending on the class and tribe affiliation: the personal name, sometimes a familiar name and the family or clan name.

This comes useful with cases of compensatory lengthening and echo vowels. * Similarly, /A O U/ are harmonic vowels which will assimilate to either /a o u/ or /æ ø y/ depending on the harmony. /a/ is to be understood as [ɑ]. * /ˣ/ is the assimilatory final, pronounced as lengthening of the next word's initial consonant, or in case of null initial, [ʔː] or hiatus. Very rarely, it occurs within words, too (usually sandwiched between two instances of the same vowel.) * /C/ represents any consonant; /V/ represents any vowel; and /X/ represents any 2nd mora in a syllable (be it consonantal, diphthongal or chronemical). I've grouped similar changes together under sub-headings, so the order of unrelated changes might not be exactly chronological whenever no reference was available. Also, since the document is headed towards Standard Finnish, I've had to cut a few corners anyway when maneuvering around dialectal changes... in a few cases picking the most represented outcome wasn't all that clear. ===Proto-Uralic to Pre-Finnic=== [Supposedly 4000 BCE to 3000 BCE] The existence of "Proto-Finno-Samic" ("-Volgaic", "-Permic", "-Ugric") as distinct from PU is unclear, hence "Pre-Finnic".

This could signify a change of [w] to [ʋ] in the position, but also of [ɸ] to [f] in the loaning languages (or even the onset of Grimm's law)!

''kärventää'' ~ ''käry'', ''kalvaa'' ~ ''kaluta'' — but late in *hehvo → ''hieho'') The consonant may have persisted before long vowels, but since a glide was epenthetically added there anyway (see next), there's no way to tell. Compensatory lengthening may have occurred before *u (*wuðʲi → ''uusi''). Shared with Samic, Mordvinic & Mari, but note that this seems to be a late ''areal'' change — it is later than the South Finnic change from *o to *ɤ per *wo-tta- "to take" → *vɤtta- → Es.

[ʔ] occurs optionally word-initially before a vowel, and between two identical vowels. The vowels are /i e æ ø y ɑ o u/. Vowel harmony continues to apply to suffixes, however in loanwords and neologisms /æ ø y/ and /ɑ o u/ can co-occur (''psyko-'', ''hyla'', ''sekundääri''). Examples of /æ/ and /ɑ/ co-occurring remain rare; even the lexicalized compound ''tällainen'' is usually pronounced /ˈt̪ælːæ(i)ne̞/. All vowels may occur long at any position of the word; however, (C)VVCC syllables occur only in very recent loans (''pointti''). Any difthongs that end in -i/-y/-u and adhere to vowel harmony and the [[Obligatory Contour Principle]] are possible, tho in stressed syllables /ey/ is exceedingly rare (due to the change to /øy/; found only in the verb ''leyhy-'') and /iy/ nonexistant.

Words like '''Meahte''' would be pronounced /mɛaxtə/, or '''breahtma'''' would be pronounced /brɛaxtma/. ====[[Middle English]]==== The sound from Anglo-Saxon, also came into Middle English. In early forms, it was written '''h''' just like in the older language (in poems like [[Brut]]). In later years, the spelling shifted to '''gh''' in most cases, such as in Chaucer. The word '''droghte''' in the second line of the General Prologue, would be pronounced /drɔxt/. ====[[Modern English]]==== In modern English, all standard forms of English have dropped this sound. However, in Scots, as well as some Scottish variations of English, the spellings '''ch''' or '''gh''' can still be pronounced /x/ after back vowels or any vowel depending on dialect.. ===[[High German]]=== In High German today, the sound /x/ is represented by '''ch''' after a back vowel. In northern Germanic dialects, such as [[Low German]] areas, the sound is retained as /k/ from Proto-Germanic. There are countless examples of German words with the /x/. words like '''machen''' (to make) being pronounced /maxən/. ===[[Dutch]]=== The sound /x/ is represented by '''g''' and '''ch''' in Dutch Orthography. The '''g''' is sometimes really a /ɣ/, although in most cases it is /x/. Even basic expressions like '''Goededag''' (Good day) is /xudədax/. ==[[Spanish]]== In Spanish, the sound /x/ is represented by '''j''', when around a back vowel. This means words like '''baja''' would be pronounced /baxa/. This sound can also be spelt '''x''' in some specific words, and in words brought in from Mayan and Aztec influence. This is why '''Mexico''' is pronounced /mexiko/ in that dialect. ==[[Greek]]== In Greek, the letter '''Χ''', '''χ''' is representative of /x/ when it is around a back vowel. ==Slavic Languages== ===Cyrillic=== The Cyrillic alphabet has '''Х''', '''х''' which represent the sound /x/. This is in the cases that use this letter in [[Russian]], Belarusian, Bulgarian, Mongolian, Turkmen, Ukrainian, Serbian, and most other languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet. ===[[Polish]], [[Slovak]] and [[Czech]]=== In Polish, the letter '''H''', '''h''' is used for /x/. In all three, Polish, Slovak and Czech, the diagraph '''Ch''' is also used for /x/. =Conlangs= ==(New) West Germanic== The West Germanic orthography uses the special character '''ħ''' (Latin H with stroke) to represent the /x/ sound. =Sources= Back to [[IPA]] [[Category:Phonetic segments|x]] User:Zereskaoate 5824 38646 2008-10-12T17:53:01Z Zereskaoate 1231 New page: [[Zereskaoate]] refers to: The [[Bakatsu]] language or The username commonly used by the creator of [[Bakatsu]] and [[Zereskaoate]], Brian Conover.

Geminaria is characterized by the presence of "semi-identical twins". Semi-identical twins are caused by the ovum undergoing [[Wikipedia:Mitosis|Mitosis]] prior to fertilization, generally two or three rounds, depending on the family. Each ovum is then fertilized by a different sperm. It is thought that this pattern developed to place more of the parental burden on the males, by dividing the female sporophyte between multiple zygotes, each of which had a complete male sporophyte contributing to their nutrition. This causes the resulting zygotes to share all of their maternal genes. Thus, when a single male fertilizes all the resulting ova (as is the case in most orders), this means that the zygotes share ¾ of their genes. Typically, there is also a degree of [[Wikipedia:Chimera (genetics)|chimerism]]. Sets of semi-identical twins form close associations, with a high degree of kin-altruism. This has been taken to its highest extreme in the subfamily [[molecolonia]], in which the ovum undergoes mitosis within the mother's body, and forms an indefinite number of identical ova. In the most advanced species of that subfamily, the mother produces a specialized sporophyte in their body that produces identical clone-sporophytes. == Orders == *[[Mesoptera]] *[[Limnia]] [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] Tritagmata 5830 44174 2009-03-16T19:21:33Z Christina 18 {{taxoboxstart}} {{Humanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Neoeukaryota}} {{ObTaxo|Kingdom|Neoanimalia}} {{ObTaxo|Phylum|Tritagmata}} |} '''Tritagmata''' (''Ng'ame zètwa'' Three Divisions) is a phylum of [[neoanimalia]], marked by the presence of three major body-sections.

It was formerly considered part of the now-defunct [[paleofungi]] kingdom. Paleofungi was found to be a polyphyletic group, with some of its members belonging to paleoanimalia, and some belonging to [[paleoplantae]], and others forming two separate kingdoms, with their similarities being due to convergent evolution. The term paleofungi has since been abandoned, although the related term ''[[neofungi]]'' survives to describe a kingdom in the [[Earth life of Galhaf|Human world]] (some have proposed that the prefix neo- should be dropped from neofungus, since there is no longer a paleofungus to distinguish it from; currently, neo- remains popular, as the other Human-world kingdoms and domains use the prefix neo- as well) Astomata are characterized by the lack of any sort of internal digestion. Instead, they secrete enzymes to break down organic matter externally and absorb the nutrients, much like Earth fungi.

They have an ecological role roughly analogous to that of arthropods on Earth. Scutacrusta are characterized by an exoskeleton consisting of numerous small scale-like growths, which are replaced individually. Most scutacrusta possess multiple legs. They have no clear segmentation. Most terrestrial groups possess a simple lung. Scutacrustans range in size from barely-macroscopic to creatures several feet long, and fill almost every environmental niche. The largest group of terrestrial scutacrustans, the [[scutaptera]], developed flight early on, although many present-day scutapterans have secondarily lost flight. == Classes == ''Incomplete'' *[[Scutaptera]] [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] Scutaptera 5837 45445 2009-05-16T22:43:14Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Galhafanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Paleoeukaryota}} {{ObTaxo|Kingdom|Paleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Subkingdom|Cispaleoanimalia}} {{ObTaxo|Phylum|Scutacrusta}} {{ObTaxo|Class|Scutaptera}} |} '''Scutaptera''' (''Rrigú malú'' "Scale Wing"), is the largest class of [[scutacrusta]], sometimes ranked as a subphylum. Most scutapterans have 1-3 pairs of wings, derived, evolutionarily, from highly-modified scales. Scutapterans play a role similar to Earth insects in [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]'s ecology. Most scutapterans have five pairs of limbs, at least in the adult form. Like other terrestrial scutacrustans, they possess a simple lung and circulatory system. All scutaptera have one or two pairs of antennae on their head, and, except for a few that have secondarily lost them, two complex compound eyes, in many species, with 360 degree vision, with hexagonal lenses using calcium carbonate, paralleling Earth's [[Wikipedia:trilobite|trilobite]]s. A large number of scutapterans have acquired a sense of hearing, however, it's believed to have evolved several times independently, rather than inherited from the common ancestor. Most scutapterans have very minimal intelligence, but a few groups have developed moderately complex nervous systems, though still quite simple by the standards of most living [[endosteia]]ns. Most undergo some form of metamorphosis. Social behavior extends the whole range from solitary animals through to complete [[Wikipedia:eusociality|eusociality]], and [[Wikipedia:superorganism|superorganism]]-like behavior. == Legions == ''Incomplete'' *[[Hexaptera]] [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] Hexaptera 5838 45446 2009-05-16T22:43:35Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Galhafanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Paleoeukaryota}} {{ObTaxo|Kingdom|Paleoanimalia}} {{OpTaxo|Subkingdom|Cispaleoanimalia}} {{ObTaxo|Phylum|Scutacrusta}} {{ObTaxo|Class|Scutaptera}} {{ObTaxo|Legion|Hexaptera}} |} '''Hexaptera''' (''Bùng'à malú'' "Six Wings") is the most primitive legion within the [[scutaptera]].

Eualarvacea is more derived than its sister clade [[paraalarvacea]]. A few orders have developed trichromatic vision, but most remain bichromatic. They are mostly found in deserts and mountains. They generally possess some degree of parental investment, at least in the form of nest-making. They generally occupy marginal niches.

They first returned to the sea roughly 25-30 million years ago, and have evolved a number of adaptations to aquatic life. Most families display little parental investment beyond laying the eggs in a concealed nest, or, at most, protecting the nest until the eggs hatch. No hydrosaurs are known to care for the young once hatched.

The earliest paleohexapods were poorly adapted for land life, having weak limbs, and, quite likely, poor ability to retain water. The paleohexapods gradually adapted for land life, and one branch enjoyed a major radiation after the development of the amniotic egg. Another branch became the first endosteians to develop flight.

There is generally duplication of most major organ systems, including the digestive tract in some members of bichordata imperfecta. Bichordates are primarily marine animals, with some freshwater species, and an even smaller number of terrestrial representatives. == Evolution == Among the bichordates, the original three-armed bodyplan changed first into a kind of "Y" plan, with one arm facing in one direction, and the other two facing in the opposite direction, adjacent to each other. The single arm became the front end, while the other two became the back. The forward arm merged with the central disk, concentrating sensory organs and becoming cephalized. The other two arms formed a kind of "split body", and gradually merged into a single structure (however, some duplication remains, and even the most advanced species retain a double-spine). As traditionally defined, the bichordata was found to be polyphyletic, the bichordate condition having evolved twice from [[tribrachidia]]-like ancestors. The majority of bichordates were retained in the bichordata, or ''eubichordata'', creating a monophyletic taxon, with the remainder reclassified in tribrachidia, as superclass [[pseudobichordata]]. == Classes == Bichordata is traditionally divided into three superclasses. [[Monura]] is known definitely to be monophyletic. [[Diura]] is possibly paraphyletic to monura, but generally believed to be monophyletic (when defined to exclude certain extinct ancestors of the monura). Historically, [[bichordata imperfecta]] was polyphyletic, but after the redefinition of bichordata, it is now either monophyletic or paraphyletic. *[[Monura]] *[[Diura]] *[[Bichordata imperfecta]] [[Category:Galhafan Animals]] Paleofungi 5847 44241 2009-03-20T05:10:17Z Christina 18 {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Galhafanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Paleoeukaryota}} |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"|'''''Kingdom''''' ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"|''[[Paleofungi]]'' |} '''Paleofungi''' (''khávè cha drà'', "Old [things that look] like plants") is a defunct kingdom-level entity.

Later, a distinction between plants and fungi was recognized, and the "cha drà" (like plants) were moved into their own kingdom. The name acknowledges that historical classification, and was adopted as a default as no other name could be agreed upon. After the recognition of the world level, the fungi were divided into [[neofungi]] and paleofungi.

2008-11-02T18:08:00Z Maailmaniag 263 /* Syllable Structure and Phonotactics */ ==Phonology== ===Phonemes=== ====Consonants==== There are 30 phonemic consonants in the inventory of Amòssi. <br> <br> {|

|| || || || || || || ʁ || |} </div> <br> The chart above shows 23 of the 30 phonemic consonants. The additional 7 consonants form two different series: the velarized alveolar series, and the labio-velar series:<br> * The velarized alvelolar series is similar to the "emphatic" consonants of the Semitic languages. Only certain alveolar consonants can be velarized phonemically, but phonetically in many dialects, other consonants are velarized as well. The series consists of 5 of the "plain" alveolars in the chart above: /n t d s l/, whose velarized counterparts are: /nˠ tˠ dˠ sˠ ɫ/. The distinction can easily be seen in minimal pairs such as <i>s</i> and <i>ṣ</i> (/s/ and /sˠ/ respectively); the former means <i>'of, from'</i>, while the latter means <i>'and'</i>.<br> *The labio-velar series is much smaller, and only consists of 2 phonemes: /kʷ gʷ/. Rather than being simply /k g/ with a secondary articulation, however, they are literally a /k g/ sound pronounced with the lips rounded. However, because the distinction is somewhat difficult to hear, especially for non-native speakers, many dialects have either neutralized the distinction (i.e. merging /k g/ and /kʷ gʷ/), or strengthened the distinction (i.e. strengthening /kʷ gʷ/ to /kp gb/, labio-velar stops). But, in the standard Amòssi dialect, the distinction is a labialized stop. <br> ====Vowels==== There are 9 contrasting (short) vowels in the standard Amòssi dialect. In addition, there are 4 contrasting nasalized vowels, as well as lengthened vowel counterparts to each short vowel (nasalized vowels excluded).<br> <br> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close || i || y || || || || u || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close-Mid || || ø || || || ɤ || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open-Mid || ɛ || || || || || ɔ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-Open || || || ɐ || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open || || || || || ɑ || |} <br> As mentioned earlier, each of these 9 vowels has a long counterpart: /i: y: u: ø: ɤ: ɛ: ɔ: ɐ: ɑ:/. In addition, 4 of these vowels has a nasalized counterpart: /ɑ̃ ɛ̃ ɔ̃ ũ/.<br> ====Clusters==== =====Consonants===== In terms of consonant clusters, Amòssi is quite lenient in sounds that are allowed to be put together in the beginning and in the middle of words, especially compared to English. Take the words <i>pšurtenn</i> (<i>'part, piece, chapter'</i>) and <i>aìknro</i> (<i>'we know how to...'</i>) for example. However, the rules regarding final clusters of consonants is much stricter; in fact, words can only end in vowels, velar consonants (excluding labio-velar consonants), coronal consonants (includes alveolar, velarized alveolar, palato-alveolar, and retroflex consonants), or uvular consonants.<br> For more information, see the section of Phonology regarding syllable structure.<br> =====Vowels===== The subject of whether diphthongs exist in Amòssi is very controversial. Some experts might argue that there are because vowels in hiatus are not pronounced in separate syllables, and they are not separated with a buffer consonant such as [ʔ j w] or other. However, others argue that vowels in hiatus are non-contrastive with any separate vowel (only with other vowels in hiatus) because they derive from the structure (C)VCV(C), in which the middle consonant was eroded due to sound changes. In other words, they argue that there are no diphthongs in Amòssi because one vowel does not "glide" to another, but each are fully pronounced within one syllable.<br> One of the main issues regarding vowels in hiatus is that both long and short versions exist; <i>hao</i> is pronounced [hA:O:], while <i>heišš</i> is pronounced [hEis`]. Therefore, the issue is not a moraic one: [A:O:] would be four morae due to the two long vowels together, while [Ei] would be two morae. Additionally, some words might even have trimoraic syllables, in which one of the two vowels in hiatus is long and the other is short, ie <i>ṭłoäma, 'to bring'<i> ([tˠɫɔ:ɐmɑ]). Clearly, this derives from a lost consonant in between the two, although it is much rarer than the other two combinations (partially due to hypercorrection, in that V:V or VV: became pronounced V:V: before single consonants and VV before double consonants, etc. See the section on orthography).<br> Clusters of vowels can easily be seen in many places, the most common of which is in verb conjugation (prevocalic /i u y/ are not being considered because it is widely accepted that they are actually pronounced [j w ɥ]), specifically in the present tense conjugation, where a verb ending in -V in the 1st person singular ends in -ṇVi (-ṇi when V is /i/). However, they are also found in several common native words, such as <i>hao, 'two'</i> and <i>heišš, 'you (singular)'</i><br> However, in some dialects, there clearly are diphthongs. Either the vowel-in-hiatus controversy is lost in these dialects due to their tendencies to pronounced vowels in hiatus as diphthongs, or they are one of the non-rhotic dialects (see Dialectal Allophony) that pronounces /ʁ/ as [ɐ~ə] in the environment V_(C,#)<br> ===Allophony=== Much of the allophony that exists in Amòssi is dialectal. However, there are still regular allophonic rules that over 80% of all dialects seem to adhere to:<br> * Prevocalic /i u y/ become approximants: /i u y/ > [j w ɥ] / _V * Nasal vowels are always long: /ɑ̃ ɛ̃ ɔ̃ ũ/ become [ɑ̃: ɛ̃: ɔ̃: ũ:] in any position<br> * Nasal consonants (N) assimilate to a following consonant: N > n / _C[+alveolar]; N > m / _C[+labial]; N > ŋ / _C[+velar]; N > ɴ / _C[+uvular] * Velarization assimilation: C[+alveolar][-velarized] > C[+alveolar][+velarized] / next to C[+velarized]. EXCEPTIONS: /ʦ r/ * /h/ before a consonant cluster is deleted: /h/ > 0 / V_CC(C)V<br> * Front vowels become central vowels next to velarized alveolar consonants, as well as /q/: /i y ø ɛ/ > [ɨ ʉ ɵ ɜ] / next to [nˠ sˠ tˠ dˠ ɫ q]<br> * /x/ becomes [ɧ~ç~ʃ] next to a front vowel or approximant allophones: /x/ > [ɧ~ç~ʃ] / next to [i y ø ɛ j ɥ] * Long vowels preceding /ʔ/ become short: V: > V / _ʔ * Short vowels preceding /x ʁ/ and [j w ɥ] become long: V > V: / _(x ʁ j w ɥ) * Stops become geminate after nasal consonants: C[+stop] > C:[+stop] / C[+nasal]_ <br> NOTE: Voicing assimilation does <i>not</i> occur in Standard Amòssi: <i>cvenim</i> (<i>'week'</i>) is pronounced ['ʦvɛ:.ni:m], NOT ['ʦfɛ:.ni:m] or ['ʣvɛ:.ni:m].<br> <br> Also: These allophonic rules "happen" in the order that they are shown here. Therefore, if a word contains a front vowel with a velarized alveolar consonant on one side of it, and /x/ on the other, the /x/ will <i>not</i> become [ɧ~ç~ʃ], because the rule centralizing front vowels takes precedence over it, and after that rule would have taken effect, /x/ would no longer be next to a front vowel. <br> ====Vowel Reduction==== While it is not standard for an Amòssi-speaker to reduce vowels, often times they will. However, the only vowels that can be reduced are /i ɤ ɐ ɑ ɔ/ (in their un-allophone states, if applicable). In unstressed syllables, these vowels will tend to become [ɪ ə ə ɐ ɑ], especially at the unstressed ends of words. Their long counterparts in the same positions will remain [i: ɤ: ɐ: ɑ: ɔ:], however.<br> Furthermore, often in poetry, song lyrics, and in very casual speech, unstressed, reduced vowels will be deleted when at the end of a word, especially if the following word begins with a vowel. In rarer instances, word-initial unstressed vowels will be deleted, and in <i>even rarer</i> cases, word-medial unstressed vowels will be deleted. <br> ====Consonant Weakening==== Some consonants can also be reduced in Amòssi. The most common example of a reduced consonant is /h/, which can often be deleted post-vocalically, regardless of what follows it (remember the allophonic rule that deletes /h/ before a consonant cluster). However, the /h/ can also be retained, but in the form [x] post-vocalically. In fact, some dialects even merge /h/ and /x/ into [x] in all positions. <br> Once again, while not standard in Amòssi, some stops can be reduced, especially between sonorants (sonorants include: all vowels, /r ʁ l ɫ m n nˠ ŋ/). /d dˠ g gʷ/ can be weakened to [ð ðˠ ɣ~ʝ ɣʷ], while /kʷ ʔ/ can be weakened to [xʷ 0] without any misunderstandings. <br> ====Dialectal Variation==== Here are some of the most common dialectal variations with regards to phonology when it comes to Amòssi. Dialects will have a mix of the following, with no dialect being devoid of any, and no dialect having every feature of the following: <br> =====Consonants===== * Affricates become geminated fricatives in any position: /ʦ ʈʂ ɖʐ/ > [s: ʂ: ʐ:] * Palatalization of consonants before any front vowel: C > Cʲ / _F[i y ø ɛ]. EXCEPTIONS: consonants that alter the following front vowel are not palatalized * Realization of the glottal stop: /ʔ/ can become one of any of these: [ʔ h ǃ q χ 0], with the most common being [ʔ] * Alveolar consonants that can be velarized may be so in the combination Cʔ: Cʔ > Cˠ~Cˤ ======Rhoticity====== Similar to some English dialects, some Amòssi dialects may have non-rhoticity with regards to /ʁ/. Non-rhotic dialects handle this differently. In some instances, as previously mentioned, /ʁ/ becomes [ɐ~ə], forming a diphthong with the preceding vowel (with /ɑʁ ɐʁ ɤʁ/ instead becoming [ɑ: ɐ: ɤ:]). However, other dialects lengthen the preceding vowel, leading to a potential 3-way distinction in vowel length (for example, /ɑ/, /ɑˑ/, /ɑ:/; however, this is not a completely accurate description of the phonetics of these phenomenon, because rather than being short, half-long, and long, the vowels are instead short, long, and extra-long- the "half-long" vowel is equivalent in length to a regular long vowel, and a "long" vowel is equivalent to 1.5x a regular long vowel). <br> ======/h/====== As mentioned earlier, /h/ is a very weak consonant, possibly on its way out of the phoneme inventory of Amòssi. In very rare instances, /h/ is deleted post-vocalically (and before another consonant), and then lengthens the preceding vowel; this, once again, can lead to a 3-way length distinction in vowels, the same way that post-vocalic /ʁ/ can. However, most often when the /h/ is deleted and lengthens the preceding vowel, short vowels and long vowels that were lengthened merge into a long vowel (ie. /ɑh/ and /ɑ:h/ both become [ɑ:]). <br> =====Vowels===== Vowels can have a range of realizations, the most common being:<br> * /ɑ ɑ:/ > [ɑ ɑ:] or [a a:] * /ɐ ɐ:/ > [ɐ ɐ:], [ə ə:], or [ɤ ɤ:] * /ɔ ɔ:/ > [ɔ ɔ:] or [o o:] * /ɛ ɛ:/ > [ɛ ɛ:] or [e e:] * /ɤ ɤ:/ > [ɤ ɤ:], [ɐ ɐ:], [ø ø:], or [ɔ ɔ:] * /y y:/ > [y y:], [u u:], or [i i:] * /ø ø: i i: u u:/ are usually consistently the same cross-dialectally <br> Some other interesting notes about dialectal variation in vowels: * [ɴ] can nasalize a preceding vowel: Vɴ > V~ * In some rare dialects, nasal vowels are not phonemic, and are replaced with [Vŋ] or other homorganic nasal sounds. * Dipthongization of long vowels /i: ɛ: ɔ: u:/ to [ij ɛi ɔʊ uw] or some similar variants (ie. [ɪj eɪ əʊ ʊw], etc.) * In place of length distinction, have a tense/lax distinction: /i i: y y: u u: ø ø: ɤ ɤ: ɛ ɛ: ɔ ɔ: ɐ ɐ: ɑ ɑ:] > [ɪ i: ʏ y: ʊ u: œ ø: ə ɤ: ɛ e: ɔ o: ɐ~ɒ ɑ:] (/ɐ/ merges with /ɑ/) <br> ===Syllable Structure and Phonotactics=== The syllable structure and phonotactics of Amòssi have not been studied as extensively as other parts of the Amòssi phonology. What we do know about the syllable structure and phonotactics, however, is presented here:<br> The syllable structure of Amòssi is something somewhat familiar to English-speakers, but the consonant and vowel combinations that are allowed or not allowed are markedly different from English. In terms of the syllable structure, Amòssi words can legally have the following: {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=1| Example ||colspan=1| Meaning ||colspan=1| Full word |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| V || e’ũt || 'they' || <b>V</b>.CVC |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| C || k || '(together) with' || C |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CV || ķi || 'three' || CV |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CCV || ḍřaxvòrrte || 'to remember' || <b>CCV</b>.CCVC.CV |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CVV || hao || 'two' || CVV |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CVC || vun || 'he' || CVC |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| VC || ałkũd || 'language' || <b>VC</b>.CVC |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| VCC || ekš || 'four' || VCC |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| VVC || ionra || 'to want' || <b>VVC</b>.CV |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CCVC || pšurtenn || 'piece, part' || <b>CCVC</b>.CVC |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CCVV || ṭłoäma || 'to bring' || <b>CCVV</b>.CV |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CCCVC || kšastliṇṇ || '(older) man' || CCV.<b>CCCVC</b> |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CCVCC || miuśkałṭ || 'country' || CVV.<b>CCVCC</b> |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| CVVCC || huẽsp || 'in front (of)' || CVVCC |} </div> <br> As mentioned previously, Amòssi is much more lax about its word-initial and word-medial consonant clusters, but not as much so with its final clusters.

They generally possess 4 pairs of legs. The generally retain distinct left and right organ systems, except for the digestive tract. The circulatory system is also integrated, although left and right hearts remain.

[[Category:Galhafan Animals]] Kasshi Solar Calendar 5901 53065 2010-04-20T01:52:11Z Christina 18 /* Weeks */ In modern times, the [[Kasshi]] calendar is a solar calendar divided into 12 months of 17-23 days. Days are further grouped into 9-day weeks. The week was originally based on the 9-day [[Nrastaist_Calendar#Half-Months|half-months]] used in the traditional lunisolar calendar. There are a total of 245 days in a common year, 244 days in a short year. For most financial purposes, the "[[#Double Weeks|double-week]]" (18 days), or simply the week, is used in place of the month. There are 13 and a fraction double-weeks in a year, or almost 27 weeks. == History == The earliest known usage of the solar calendar was during the middle of the [[First Interregnum]], the earliest known usage being around 1200 BOE. However, it was used only sporadically, and mostly for such purposes as determining planting times. By around 800 BOE, some states were using it alongside the lunisolar calendar. In 688 BOE, the Queen of [[Lareth]] adopted [[#Larethian Calendar|a variant of the solar calendar]] for all civic purposes, although the lunisolar calendar remained in use for determining religious festivals, as well as for regulating the 9-day week. The earliest known use of the 9-day true week (that is, an uninterrupted 9-day cycle, distinct from the lunar months) was sporadic usage during the Third Empire, in the 5th century BOE. == Standard Calendar == === Weeks === Weeks consist of 9 days based, historically, on the old half-months. Most people get 3 days off work every week, typically Market - Closing. Each day is also traditionally named after a color, and some calendars use colors instead of names to indicate weekdays. The use of colors developed as a way to synchronize originally out-of-sync weeks. While, for example, an Ivetsian New Moon/Full Moon might be equivalent to a Shivrashanian Feasting, both could be called Red. Eventually, all but the Larethian calendar adopted the Ivetsian week. These disparate weeks appeared due to various areas adopting fixed weeks independently. #New Moon/Full Moon* (Red) #Fasting (Pink) #First Council (Orange) #Second Council (Yellow) #Feasting (Green) #After-Feasting (Green-Blue) #Market (Blue) #After-Market (Light Blue) #Closing (Purple) <nowiki>*Called New moon</nowiki> in Upper Week, Full moon in Lower Week. This name is purely historical, and has no relation in modern times to the actual phases of the moon. ==== Double Weeks ==== Weeks are commonly grouped into double-weeks. The first week in a double-week is referred to as the Upper Week, and its day names take the adjective "Upper", while the second week is "Lower" (for the first day of the week, "upper" and "lower" is often dropped, being redundant). Thus, a double-week begins with (Upper) New Moon and ends with Lower Closing. For some purposes, the double-week holds more significance than the months. For example, most financial transactions operate on double-weeks. The double-weeks are numbered, with the first New Moon of the year marking the start of Double-Week 1, and the last New Moon marking the start of Double-Week 13 or 14 (depending on the year). The last double-week generally runs into the next year, except in the evnet of a year beginning with New Moon. Because a double-week is only a little shorter than a synodic month, phases of the moon tend to reoccur on the same day of each double-week in the short term. However, it drifts out of sync, generally shifting by a day every 6 double-weeks or so. === Months === The months' names and lengths are based on the [[Nrastaist Calendar#Solar Periods|solar periods]] of the old lunisolar calendar. The months have variable lengths. See [[#Lengths|below]] for details. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class=bordertable style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |'''Month''' |'''Length''' |- |Early Spring |21 (20) |- |Mid-Spring |20 (19) |- |Late Spring |19 (18) |- |Early Summer |18 (17) |- |Mid-Summer |18 (17) |- |Late-Summer |19 (18) |- |Early Autumn |20 (19) |- |Mid-Autumn |21 (20) |- |Late Autumn |22 (23) |- |Early Winter |23 (24) |- |Mid-Winter |23 (24) |- |Late-Winter |22 (23) |} ==== Lengths ==== All of the months have variable lengths. For example, Early Spring is normally 21 days, but some years it's 20 days. The beginnings of the months are based on the Sun's path through the ecliptic, so as to ensure that each solar period begins at some point on the first day of the month named after it, at the Ivets meridian. === Major Holidays === Major holidays in the Empire and many other Kasshi states include: *[[Nrastaist Calendar|Lunar New Year]] - 1/1 - 1/19 (movable holiday) *Seasonal Days - 1/1, 4/1, 7/1, 10/1 *Mid-Seasonal Days - middle of the months of Mid-Spring, Mid-Summer, Mid-Autumn, Mid-Winter *[[Kasshi Astrological Calendar|Astrological New Year]] - 3/2 or 3/3 *Empress' Birthday - presently 8/8 (8/9 commonly taken as an unofficial holiday as well) *Empire Day - 3/15 (marks the ratification of the Empire Treaty) *Ruler's Birthday - many member-states of the Empire, especially the monarchies, celebrate their ruler's birthday as a holiday as well. Within [[Ivets]] and in non-monarchical member-states, the heir's birthday is often used, currently 9/13 === Proposed Reforms === Because of the not-easily-predictable nature of the calendar, there have been a number of proposed reforms. Some of the most popular reforms are ==== Fixed-Month Calendar ==== The most popular version is similar in concept to the Larethian Calendar, including the same short-year rule (except using the Odiran Era year number). In short years, each month has its most common length, in common years, Mid-Autumn has 20 days. A couple of other short-year rules have been suggested. ==== Constant Month Calendar ==== The Constant Month Calendar has 5 months of 21 days and 7 months of 20 days in common years, and 4 months of 21 days and 8 of 20 in short years. The 21-day months are Mid-Spring, Early Summer, Early Autumn, Late Autumn, and Late Winter in common years, with Late Winter being 20 days in short years. ==== Double-Week Calendar ==== The Double Week calendar drops the months altogether. The Double-Week takes the place of the month, with common years of 14 double-weeks and short years of 13 double-weeks. Short years are years that end in 0, 2, 5, or 7, except for multiples of 250. Something similar is already in usage by businesses, however, there's no fixed short-year rule, instead, being based on the current solar calendar. == Larethian Calendar == The Larethian Calendar is similar to the standard calendar. It was established in 688 BOE, and was based on the solar periods as they existed at the time. In 725, the Larethians adopted the Standard Calendar. In 769, Lareth reverted to the traditional calendar. The Larethian Calendar remains the only surviving variant of the Kasshi Solar Calendar, other than the Standard Form, still in use. === Weeks === The Larethian Calendar retains names based on the old half-months, most of which are the same as the standard names, but a few differ. However, the two are out of sync, with the standard calendar's New Moon/Full Moon corresponding to Larethian Second Council #First Market (Market) #Fasting (After-Market) #First Council (Closing) #Second Council (New Moon/Full Moon) #Feasting (Fasting) #First Rest (First Council) #Second Market (Second Council) #Worship (Feasting) #Second Rest (After-Feasting) === Months === {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class=bordertable style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |'''Month''' |'''Length''' |- |Early Spring |20 days |- |Mid-Spring |19 days |- |Late Spring |18 days |- |Early Summer |18 days |- |Mid-Summer |19 days* |- |Late Summer |19 days |- |Early Autumn |21 days |- |Mid-Autumn |22 days |- |Late Autumn |23 days |- |Early Winter |23 days |- |Mid-Winter |22 days |- |Late Winter |21 days |} <nowiki>*Mid-Summer</nowiki> is 18 days in short years. Short years are years that are divisible by 8 or by 100, according to the Larethian Era === Years === Traditionally, Lareth used as their calendrical era the establishment of the Kingdom of Lareth, in 948 BOE. These dates are still used for some traditional purposes (for example, coins are dated according to the Larethian Era), but for most purposes, the conventional Odiran Era is in use. == See Also == *[[Nrastaist Calendar]] *[[Kasshi Astrological Calendar]] [[Category:Galhafan Calendars]] [[Category:Kasshi|Calendar, solar]] Talk:Qatama grammar 5902 39248 2008-10-31T12:33:25Z Qang 1187 Hi Sano,<br/> I was wondering, I've seen you state before that you have not thought at all about the internal history of Qatama. Are you actually ''opposed'' to having any - after all, despite giving it speakers, dialects etc. you still seem to classify it as a "personalang" - or just not interested in working on the topic? I can discern various hints of linguistic history in it anyway, like the alternation in the pronunciation of <j>. I'm impress'd if you managed to create them in unintentionally. (Qatama's phonology is very cool in general anyway; you have a very uniq but still human "flavor" in there.) One non-trivial change in particular looks obvious to me: most syllable-initial clusters are of the form ''stop'' + ''sonorant'' (with "stop" including nasals), but then there's /nʒ/. Also, you have /kj gj mj/, but no /ŋj/. I would take this to mean */ŋj/ → /nʒ/. (This would probably have to precede the creation of /o/, or its change to something else after /ʒ/. I say "probably" because this could also be just a random hole, similar to the lack of /ŋə mju/. The lack of /tu du/ seems systematic tho, as well as the lack of initial /r/, or of lateral + vowel other than /a/ - but a statistical analysis would be needed to state any of this more securely.) Oh, and any particular reason you keep classifying /tɬ/ as a fricative, but /ʒ/ as an affricate? That's all for now I think. --[[User:Tropylium|John Vertical]] 12:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC) :Wow, [[User:Tropylium|Trop]], you've truly been studying the structure of [[Qatama]]...I am impressed. ::As to your questions; #Yes, I have held [[Qatama]] to be very personal since its inception. This doesn't necessarily mean that I couldn't at some point develop an internal history for it, but I haven't studied that well enough to speak authoritatively on it, hence, I have avoided the topic. #As for /tɬ/ and /ʒ/, I basically wrote up that phonological list based on Wikipedia and never really put that much thought into it. :[[Qatama]] is not much more than a collection of sounds that I find pleasing and euphonic. The grammar is loosely based on Mandarin and the primary script [[Moj]], is something that I based on initially Tibetan. The fact that I have a culture, map, dialects etc. is because the language led my mind to imagine such things. I hope this helps to explain [[Qatama]] a bit more.

The script of Seuna 5956 45586 2009-05-24T20:34:13Z Staigard 752 /* Combining off-gesture with on-gesture */ == Consonants == These are the 17 consonants. The ampersand "@" represents a glottal stop. These 17 shapes have been more or less copied from Tibetan. These figures from the Tibetan alphabet was chosen as I feel that they are very distinct from each other but at the same time seem to have a common theme. There is no correspondence between the phonetic values I give them and how they are pronounced in Tibet. There is also no correspondence between how a sound "feels" and how it is written. If that were the case "s" would be extremely smooth, the nasals would be quite smooth and "k", "p" and "t" would be extremely angular. There is no scheme that gives these symbols common elements corresponding to common articulation methods. However it can be noted that "b", "p" and "m" have a common element. As do "h" and "@". Also "g" and "y" are quite similar and in language "g" to "y" is a not uncommon sound change. [[Image:Bitmap_5_Seuna.PNG]] == Vowels == The vowel marks are given below. They are written above the consonant that they follow. According to approved articulation, no syllable should begin with a vowel ; there should be a glottal-stop then a vowel. However to drop the glottal-stop seems to be quite common, in which case the first figure given in the consonants list is merely a place-holder to mount the vowel on. [[Image:Bitmap_6_Seuna.PNG]] == Off-gestures == An off-gesture (or off-flurish) is when a consonant is immediately followed by "y","l" or "w". Off-gestures only occur word initially and are restricted to certain letters (see "initial consonant clusters" in "Seuna word shape"). The off-gesture is indicated by a mark placed just to the top right of the main figure (see below). [[Image:Bitmap_8_Seuna.PNG]] == On-gestures == An on-gesture (or on-flurish) is when a non-initial-consonant is preceded by "l", "s" or "n". These on-gestures co-occur with most consonants but a very few combinations are disallowed(see "mid consonant clusters" in "Seuna word shape"). [[Image:Bitmap_9_Seuna.PNG]] The on-gesture is indicated by a mark placed just to the left of the figure that they are combined with(see above). == Combining off-gesture with on-gesture == Most words take the form of two consonant figures. This form of word is called a "couplet". In a couplet, it is forbidden for the first figure to have an off-gesture and the second figure has an on-gesture. The word shown below is not allowed. [[Image:Bitmap_10_Seuna.PNG]] == Diphthongs == The diphthongs are written as shown below. [[Image:Bitmap_12_Seuna.PNG]] The diphthong '''au''' is represented by a symbol which is a sort of a combination of the '''a''' mark and the '''u''' mark. This is the one diphthong that doesn't have a following cross. == Reduced "couplets" == In the Seuna writing system certain couplets are "reduced". That is they are always written without any vowel signs. Now in Seuna there are 1241 possible couplets. For example the word for "book" is '''caito''', which you would expect to be written [[Image:Bitmap_16_Seuna.PNG]] However this word is is the commonest couplet with the letters "CT" so it is shorn of its vowels. It is always simply written as [[Image:Bitmap_19_Seuna.PNG]] All the other couplets with the letters "CT" carry their vowels as normal. For example '''ceta''' meaning "petal" is written [[Image:Bitmap_20_Seuna.PNG]] == Other Symbols == Seuna is not purely a phonetic scripts. Many particles and case markings have their own symbol. The thinking behind this is for ease of interpretation. Instead of the brain having to do "symbol" => "sound" => "meaning", in Seuna it does "symbol" => "meaning" directly. There are about 60 or 70 of these "symbols of meaning". As an example I give the ones for the pronouns below. {| border=1 |align=center|I, me |align=center|'''mi''' |align=center|we, us |align=center|'''mia''' |- |align=center|you |align=center|'''yu''' |align=center|you(pl) |align=center|'''yua''' |- |align=center|he/she, him/her |align=center|'''na''' |align=center|they them |align=center|'''wa''' |- |align=center|it |align=center|'''to''' |align=center|they |align=center|'''ton''' |- |align=center|you and me |align=center|'''myu''' |align=center|we |align=center|'''myun''' |} [[Image:Bitmap_25_Seuna.PNG]] == Reduced compounds == We have seen already how the most common "couplets" are shorn of their vowels. This process is taken further in compound words. For example take '''kia''' meaning "sun" and '''swo''' meaning "day". They are shown below when they appear as independent words. [[Image:Bitmap_27_Seuna.PNG]] Now being singlets these words can never be reduced. However when compounded the are reduced. There is no other compound of the form "K.S". When these words are joined together in a compound they mean "the first day of the Seuna week" and are pronounced '''kia.so''' For another example take '''ki'o''' meaning "yellow" and '''noi''' meaning "week". They are shown below when they appear as independent words. [[Image:Bitmap_26_Seuna.PNG]] Now '''ki'o''' is a pretty common word but XXXX meaning xxxx is even commoner so XXXX is represented by "K@". '''noi''' being a singlet is never reduced. However when they are compounded (yellow.week is the 5 week of the month)the word must be reduced. There are no other compounds of the form "K@.N" (Actually there could be other compound words of the form "K@.N" but they are not as common as the word meaning the fifth week of the month. === Notes on my orthography === When a glottal stop is word initial, in my English representation of a Seuna word, I use the sign "@" When a glottal stop is none word initial, in my English representation of a Seuna word, I use an apostrophe. When I write Seuna compound words in English I use a fullstop to represent the Seuna symbol that is always inserted between the components. See "Notes on compounds in Seuna" === Notes on the phonology of compounding === Stress is on the first syllable of a word. In a compound word the rightmost component will loose its stress. Also if the initial consonant of the rightmost component has an off-glide, it will loose that off-glide. Hence in the above example we see '''swo''' => '''so''' Also if the initial vowel of the rightmost component is a diphthong, it will change to a simple vowel. Hence in the above example we see '''noi''' => '''no''' === Notes on the phonology of compounding three or more element === The low level splits have the rule as above. The high level split is represented in the script by the symbol "small square". This symbol is actually pronounced. It is pronounced as "n". The consonant after this "n" will be voiced if possible. For example ;- t would change to d tw would change to dw f would change to v(no such sound in Seuna) but s would change to z ky would not change to gy (gy is not allowed). ky would stay as ky Notice there is no loosing of off-gestures or diphthongs at the top level split. Examples chineseartdealer ??? carmaintenancetrainingcourse??? === Notes on compounds in Seuna script === In every compound word, a small circle is placed at mid height, between the two components of a compound word. == Other == For example "to walk" = '''dono'''. This happens to be the word choosen from all the two syllable words with initial event D and secondary event N. '''bundo''' = building, '''bunda''' = to build Vowels and initial-consonant-tail-gestures and secondary-consonant-head-gestures will be represented as lower case letters. '''tolnu''' = to grind => TolNu '''dono''' = to walk => DN and not (DoNo) === Minor heading === [[Category:Seuna]] [[Category:Conscripts]] ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Christmas main page 5957 40356 2008-11-30T13:03:16Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 <span style="position: absolute; top: -50px; left: -172px; z-index: -1">[[Image:Barnstar-rotating.gif|180px]]</span> <center>{{CURRENTDAYNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}.

This is best translated as season. The timing, length and names of these "arc"s depend on local weather, local growing seasons, local cultural activities etc. For example '''acorn.arc''' might follow '''rain.arc''' and be followed by '''salmon.arc'''. ===1 day=== The Seuna for day is '''noi''' . ===8 days=== 8 days make up a period of time called a '''soi'''. The '''noi''' of the '''soi''' are called ;- {| | '''noicaju''' || '''noibuya''' || '''noinewa''' || '''noideda''' || '''noikiwe''' || '''noigufo''' || '''noikayu''' || '''noinege''' |- | sun.day || leaf.day || river.day || sea.day || star.day || moon.day || tree.day || cloud.day |} Between every '''soi''' there is a day called '''noituna''', which can be best translated as "gap day". ===72 days=== 8 '''soi''' and 8 '''noituna''' make up a period of time called a '''doi'''. The '''soi''' of the '''doi''' are called ;- {| | '''soi@ai''' || '''soigeu''' || '''soisuna''' || '''soinela''' || '''soiki@o''' || '''soinelau''' || '''soihia''' || '''soihau''' |- | white.week || green.week || orange.week || skyblue.week || yellow.week || blue.week || red.week || black.week |} The 8 '''noituna''' of the '''doi''' can be differentiated from each other by calling them ;- {| | '''tuna@ai''' || '''tunageu''' || '''tunasuna''' || '''tunanela''' || '''tunaki@o''' || '''tunanelau''' || '''tunahia''' || '''tunahau''' |- | white.gap || green.gap || orange.gap || skyblue.gap || yellow.gap || blue.gap || red.gap || black.gap |} (In the Seuna calendar, the cycle of the moon is completely ignored.) ===365 days=== A '''noihitu''' is a special festival days. There are five of them in one year. The 5 '''noihitu''' and 5 '''doi''' make up a '''yia'''(a year). The '''doi''' are;- {| | '''doiyigau''' || '''doipiwe''' || '''doiguya''' || '''doi@olai''' || '''doigamau''' |- | jupiter.month || venus.month || mercury.month || mars.month || saturn.month |} The festivals or festival days ( '''noihitu''') are called;- '''hintuyigau hintupiwe hintuguya hintu@olai hintugamau''' '''hintuyigau''' is between '''doiyigau''' and ''' doipiwe''', and so on. ===1461 days=== A four year period is known as a '''myamu'''. This is often translated into English as "calendar". A special day called '''noimamu''' is added every '''myamu'''. === The calendar (that you stick on the wall) === There are 4 years in a calendar. There are 32 calenders in a '''kyutoza'''. Below is the first sheet of the Seuna calendar (there are 20 sheets in all). The first week is the top row, the last week is the bottom row. The first day of the week is the first column, the last day of the week is the last column. The "not completely enclosed space" at the end of the week is for the '''noituna'''. The space beneath the grid is for the '''noihitu'''. [[Image:Bitmap_21_Seuna.PNG]] The day '''noimamu''' is not represented on the physical calendar. That is because this day is associated with special ceremonies associated with the passage of time. One ceremony involves the taking down of the old calendar, another ceremony involves the hanging of a new calendar. During '''noimamu''' there is no calendar hanging on any wall. ===128 years (or 46,751 days)=== 32 '''myamu''' make up a '''kyutoza'''. This is often translated into English as "century", "generation", "lifetime". One day is deleted every '''kyutoza'''. The day dropped is '''tunahau''' from '''doipiwe'''. The physical Seuna calendar that you hang on your wall lasts for four years. Every sheet represents a '''doi'''. Below is the second sheet of the first '''myamu''' of a '''kyutoza'''. [[Image:Bitmap_22_Seuna.PNG]] As can be seen, the dropped day has been torn off. It is usual to define every day within a '''kyutoza'''. For example you can give the date of birth of somebody as;- '''noigufo soinelan doiguyan yiatigan''' (which means "the moon day of the sky-blue week of the month of mercury of the year of the giraffe"). To define the day over the greater range you would have to add " '''kyutoza''' -11", "'''kyutoza''' 0", "'''kyutoza''' +32" etc. etc. ===The '''tolza'''=== Each year of the '''kyutoza''' has an animal associated with it. These animals are ;- {| | wolf || weasel/ermine/stoat/mink || bullfinch || badger |- | whale || opossum || albatross || beautiful armadillo |- | giant anteater || lynx || eagle || cricket/grasshopper/locust |- | reindeer || springbok || dove || gnu/wildebeest |- | spider || Steller's sea cow || seagull || gorilla |- | horse || scorpion || raven/crow || python |- | rhino || yak || Kookaburra || porcupine ? |- | butterfly || triceratops || penguin || koala |- | polar bear || manta-ray || hornbill || raccoon |- | crocodile/alligator || wolverine || pelican || zebra |- | bee || warthog || peacock || capybara |- | bat || bear || crane/stork/heron || hedgehog |- | frog || lama || woodpecker || gemsbok |- | musk ox || chameleon || hawk || cheetah |- | lion || frill-necked lizard || toucan || okapi |- | dolphin || aardvark || ostrich || T-rex |- | kangaroo || hyena || duck || driprotodon(wombat) |- | shark || cobra || kingfisher || gaur |- | dragonfly || mole || moa || chimpanzee |- | turtle/tortoise || N.A. bison || black skimmer || panda |- | jaguar || snail || cormorant/shag || Cape buffalo |- | rabbit || colossal squid || vulture || glyptodon/doedicurus |- | beetle || seal || falcon || pangolin |- | megatherium || woolly mammoth || flamingo || baboon |- | elk/moose || squirrel || blue bird of paradise || lobster |- | tiger || gecko || grouse || seahorse |- | jackal/fox || octopus || swan || lemur |- | elephant || swordfish || parrot || auroch |- | giraffe || ant || puffin || iguana |- | mouse || crab || swift || mongoose/meerkat |- | smilodon || giant beaver || owl || mantis |- | camel || goat || hummingbird || walrus |} Each of these animals above is a '''tolza''', which can be translated as "token", "icon" or "totem ". '''kyu''' means a circle or cycle. So you can see where the name for the 128 year period comes from. ===The precise astronomical periods on which the Seuna time system is based=== Year 2000 had 365.242,192,65 days Every year is shorter than the last by 0.000,000,061,4 days By adding one day every calendar we get a 365.25 day year If we then drop one day every '''kyutoza''' we get a 365.242,187,5 day year (very close to the actual year length) Before 2084, the actual year will be bigger than the calendar year – after 2084 the actual year will be smaller than the calendar year For this reason midnight, 22 Dec 2083 is designated the fulcrum of the whole system. That day will be time zero. At the moment we are in negative time. === The association of planets to months and shapes === You will have noticed that the months share their names with the five visible planets. That is Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (in order of distance from the sun). In order of occurence in the year ... Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Saturn They also share their name with the five platonic solids. '''hizbuguya''' (mercury.shape) = a tetrahedron (4 sides)4<sub>8</sub> '''hizbu@olai'''(mars.shape) ... hexahedron (6 sides)6<sub>8</sub> '''hizbuguya'''(venus.shape) ... octahedron (8 sides)10<sub>8</sub> '''hizbupiwe'''(saturn.shape) ... dodecahedron (12 sides)14<sub>8</sub> '''hizbuyigau'''(jupiter.shape) ... icosahedron (20 sides)24<sub>8</sub> == The Seuna year == === The first month of the year === The first month of the year ('''doiguya''') starts on the 22nd of December and ends on the 3rd of March. On the 4th of March the festival '''hintuguya''' is held. People gather at various regional centres to compete and spectate in various music and poetry competitions. === The second month of the year === The second month of the year ('''doipiwe''') starts on the 5th of March and ends on the 15th of May. On the 16th of May the festival of '''hintupiwe''' is held. It is usual to get together with old friends around this time and many parties are held. Friends that live some distance away are given special consideration. Often journeys are undertaken to meet up with old acquainances. Also there is a big exchange of letters at this time. The most important happenings of the last year are stated in these letters along with hopes and plans for the coming year. === The third month of the year === The third month of the year ('''doi@olai''') starts on the 17th of May and ends on the 27th of July. On the 28th of July the festival '''hintu@olai''' is held. This festival is all about outdoor competitions and sporting events. It is a little like a cross between the Olympics games and the highland games. People gather at various regional centres to compete and spectate in various team and individual competitions. However care is taken that no regional centre becomes too popular and people are discouraged from competing at centres other than their local one. === The fourth month of the year === The fourth month of the year ('''doiyigau''') starts on the 29th of July and ends on the 8th of October. On the 9th of October the festival '''hintuyigau''' is held. Family that live some distance away are given special consideration. Often journeys are undertaken for family visits and ancestors ashboxes are visited if convenient. This is the second most important festival of the year. People tend to take a quite some time of work if travelling, three days if receiving guests and two days if not receiving any guests. === The fifth month of the year === The fifth month of the year ('''doigamau''') starts on the 10th of October and ends on the 20th of December. On the 21st of December the festival '''hintugamau''' is held. This is the most important festival of the year. It is centred on the family and friends that you are living amongst. Even though eating and drinking are involved in all the five festivals, this festival has the most looked-forward-to feasts. It usually lasts for 4 days. ===The leap day === Every fourth year we have a calendar day ('''noimamu'''). This day comes immediately after '''hintugamau'''. Rites are held to mark and celebrate various milestones in the life of an individual. In particular people who have attained the ages of 4, 20 and 64 during the past 4 year, publicly celebrate that fact now. Among the customs followed is the gift of new clothes to the celebrant. == Time of day == The basic unit of time is the day ('''noi'''). So one day is equal to "1". The day begins at six o'clock in the morning. So, for example, 6 o'clock in the evening would be called 0.4 (not 0.5 ... remember Seuna uses an octal system) or '''nyegayiwo @elai'''. The '''nyegayiwo''' is invariably dropped so it would be simply '''@elai'''. By the way '''@ela''' would be 11.2 minutes after six in the morning (written .004) '''@aba''' would be 2.8 minutes after six in the morning. For describing approximately when something happened during the day, we have eight periods : '''noifago''', '''@abaia''', '''@igaia''', '''@odaia''', '''@elaia''', '''@ucaia''', '''@aisaia''' and '''@aukaia'''. Each of these time periods is equivalent to three hours. They can be further defind by the prefix "early", "mid" and "late". So "mid"'''@odaia''' defines a time from 4 o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock at night. The word for midday is simply '''@igai'''. The word for midnight is simply '''@aisa'''. The '''noi''' is a 24 hour period. The name for the period that the sun is up (i.e. daytime) is '''noi@ai''' ... (white.day) The name for the period that the sun is down (i.e. nighttime) is '''noihau''' ... (black.day) The name for the period from 6 in the morning until 6 at night '''noihai''' ... (high.day) The name for the period from 6 at night to 6 in the morning is '''noi@au''' ... (low.day) The last two terms make sense when you think of the main hand on a Seuna clock. == The clock == At midnight the ‘hour’ hand stands at the bottom and procedes anti-clockwise (at least in the northern hemishere). The ‘hour’ hand only sweeps out one revolution in 24 hours. Both the red and the black arms do not move incrementally but both move one slot (1/64 th of a revolution) at a time. The black arm moves every 22.5 minutes and the red arm moves every 21 seconds. Every town has a clocktower and the clocktower will have six faces at the top, each face displaying a clock similar to the one below. The clocktower is surmounted by a green conic roof. Backlighting and lighting from under the roof is provided for each face. There should never be any numbering. The clock faces should be illuminated from a light within. The colours of the faces should be white (N), orange (~NE), green (~SE), yellow (S), red (~SW), dark blue (~NW). ==Index== {{Seuna index}} [[Category:Calendars]] Seuna units 5960 50454 2009-11-13T04:10:24Z Staigard 752 /* Height */ The units for weight, height, distance and time are all derived from properties of the earth. ==Weight== The most used unit of weight can be said to be 2.47kg (not exact). It is pronounced '''hi''' but written with the letter "h" of the Seuna alphabet. Actually '''hi''' is not a unit of weight as such but just an exponent in the Seuna numbering system, meaning 8<sup>-27</sup>. In full 2.47kg should be called 1h "earthweight". But usually the last part is missed out and '''hi''' is usually taken as a unit of weight. [[Image:Bitmap_48_Seuna.PNG]] ==Height== The most used unit of height can be said to be 4.77cm (not exact). It is usually just pronounced '''ji''' and written with the letter "j" of the Seuna alphabet. Actually '''ji''' is not a unit of height as such but just an exponent in the Seuna numbering system, meaning 8<sup>-9</sup>. In full 4.77cm should be called 1j "earthheight". But usually the last part is missed out and '''ji''' is usually taken as a unit of height. One "earthheight" is the polar radius. [[Image:Bitmap_49_Seuna.PNG]] [[Image:Bitmap_50_Seuna.PNG]] ==Distance== The most used unit of distance can be said to be 78.3km (not exact). It is usually just pronounced '''mi''' and written with the letter "m" of the Seuna alphabet. Actually '''mi''' is not a unit of distance as such but just an exponent in the Seuna numbering system, meaning 8<sup>-3</sup>. In full 78.3km should be called 1m "earthdistance". But usually the last part is missed out and '''mi''' is often taken as a unit of distance in certain situations : such as talking about the distance between two cities. It is not so strongly associated with the unit of distance, as '''h''' is associated with the unit of weight and '''j''' is associated with the unit of height. One "earthdistance" is the equatorial circumference. ==Area== In a similar manner to the above when taking about the floor area of houses or plot sizes for houses, the exponent '''pi''' is used, which is around 14.5m<sup>2</sup>. When taking of field sizes, the exponent '''fi''' is used, which is around 7422m<sup>2</sup>. One "eartharea" is the total surface area of the earth of course. ==Temperature== The unit temperature is taken as 65.263 degrees Kelvin. This is not taken from any fundamental measurement of the earth or anything, but simply to give us a convenient scale for talking about everyday temperatures. It does however fix the normal temperature of the human body(37 Celcius) at exactly 4.6 units. 4 units is -12 Celcius 5 units is 53 Celcius Outside of scientific usage, it is rare to get temperature outside the range -12 to 53 Celcius. So as to weather, people would say "tomorrow will be .45" and not "tomorrow will be 4.45". ==Time== Here we are talking about time during the day. For longer periods of time you should refer to the Calendar section. The unit of time is equal to 24 hours. The day begins at six o'clock in the morning. To make appointments, people say "I will meet you at .544" or just "I will meet you at 544"('''acailaula'''). Note that between .544 and .545 is 2.8 minutes so to say "I will meet you at 544" is ecurate enough for arranging human affairs. For describing approximately when something happened during the day, we have eight periods : "pre"'''abai''', '''abaia''', '''agaia''', '''adaia''', '''alaia''', '''acaia''', '''asaia''' and '''akaia'''. Each of these time periods is equivalent to three hours. They can be further defind by the prefix "early", "mid" and "late". So "mid"'''adaia''' defines a time from 4 o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock at night. The word for midday is simply '''agai'''. The word for midnight is simply '''asai'''. These can be given the prefixes "pre" and "post" to divide the day into four periods. 6 o'clock in the morning is called ??. There are also terms for sunup/dawn and sundown as these vary with time of year and with latitude. The name for the period that the sun is up is '''ai'''"day" The name for the period that the sun is down is '''hau'''"day" The name for the period 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. is '''hai'''"day" The name for the period 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. is '''au'''"day" ==Speed== The fundamental unit of speed is 78.3km/24hours or 3.2625 km/hour. This is about .9 m/sec.

Like most other moons of Zheftakh, Khanda is tide-locked. Khanda orbits within a few degrees of Zheftakh's equator, and Zheftakh, in turn, has a very minimal tilt, giving Khanda very little in the way of seasons, with only the eccentricity of Zheftakh's orbit itself providing slight variation in temperatures, but not of length of day == Tidal Effects == Due to [[Wikipedia:tidal flexing|tidal flexing]] caused by the gravitational fields of Zheftakh and the other moons, Khanda remains geologically active. == Life == Advanced multicellular [[Native life of Khanda|life]] has evolved on Khanda. There is evidence of a [[Ancient Ones|former sentient species]] living on Khanda some 12 million years ago. It appears to have gone extinct in a presumably self-induced [[Khandan Catastrophe|mass extinction]].

Since at the time, there was no native broadcasting standard, many residents tried to set up their own dishes so that they could receive free-to-air European channels or used dubious methods to receive premium services from European companies such as Sky Digital, Canal, Premiere and Sky Italia. Much of the population, who did not have the know-how or couldn't afford to pay into an over-priced black market, often resorted to downloading illegal torrents. The Nationalist Party argued that the plan would cost a lot of money to implement and that the government should instead offer a service whereby people paid them for satellite installation in order to resolve the black-market situation. Despite the launch of an appeal, it was eventually agreed that West Germanic residents should be entitled to the same as in other countries, which broadcast free in terrestrial: West Germania has never had a terrestrial network. [[Image:Ant-dish-quorum230cm-sband.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Foxtel dish outside a housing block]] On 28th October 2008, when the appeal came to an end, a compromise between the Nationalist, Liberal and Socialist Parties resulted in the creation of a two-tier television service. Between August 2007 and October 2008, every housing block had been satellite-enabled. The Activation Day (1st November 2008) saw every resident receive free, legal access to 'permitted' analogue, FTA broadcasts from Western and Central Europe in addition to the new national network WUS (Woɍųld ųmbę Us). The digital market was effectively privatised, but the interested party Foxtel was allocated a Compulsory Monopoly by the Communist Party to ensure that it would be the only such service. On 9th November, Foxtel would begin its encrypted transmission of digital, upscaled SD and HD services not only from WUS1, WUS2 and Europe, but also exclusive entertainment, film, sport and factual content plus PVR functionality. A controversy was sparked on this date when the nationalised fibre-optic broadband was capped at 10 Mbps speed and a 10 GB download limit with Foxtel providing a 'new' unlimited ISP to entice customers and increase revenue for the government. ==Technical information== To decode the DVB-S/DVB-S2-compliant H.264 digital satellite signal and unlock the unlimited broadband, a monthly subscription is required. The broadcasts on Foxtel HD optionally include a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. VideoGuard encryption is used to prevent illegal use. Foxtel WG, in conjunction with the Communist Party, has a veto over which channels are included on the EPG, but has no control over a channel's content. Picture quality can be, to some extent, controlled due to channels' passage through the WUS Broadcasting Centre before it transmits to West Germanic viewers. [[Image:Ds810xe.jpg|350px]] The Foxtel WG receiver is produced by Pace and is based on the TDS850 model (pictured) with triple tuners to record up to three channels at the same time or watch one while recording up to two others, push-VOD support allowing for true on-demand television, a 250GB hard drive for 60-120 hours of stored content, and picture-in-picture and software download capabilities. There are no SD/HD simulcasts on the Foxtel platform. In contrast to the UK, for example, which has both Channel 4 and Channel 4 HD on its digital satellite platform, Germania has only SD channels on its analogue service and only HD channels (with upscaled SD programming) on its digital service. ==Channels== ===Free=== {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="text-align:center; font-size:88%; border-collapse:collapse;" width=100% |- style="background:orange" !width=2%|No. !width=10%|Channel |- | 101 | WUS1 |- | 102 | WUS2 |- | 103 | 123 Sat |- | 104 | 3A Telesud |- | 105 | Art Channel |- | 106 | ARTE Deutsch |- | 107 | Best of Shopping |- | 108 | Beur TV |- | 109 | BFM TV |- | 110 | Cash TV |- | 111 | Dan Tamil Oli |- | 112 | Demain |- | 113 | Direct 8 |- | 114 | EuroNews |- | 115 | Eurosport Deutschland |- | 116 | F Men |- | 117 | Fashion TV Europe |- | 118 | France 2 |- | 119 | France 24 Arabe |- | 120 | France 24 English |- | 121 | France 24 Français |- | 122 | France 3 Sat |- | 123 | France 5 |- | 124 | FTV HD |- | 125 | Holy God |- | 126 | KTO |- | 127 | LCP |- | 128 | Living God |- | 129 | M6 Boutique La Chaîne |- | 130 | M6 Suisse |- | 131 | Melody Zen |- | 132 | Mosaique 1 |- | 133 | Mosaique 2 |- | 134 | Mosaique 3 |- | 135 | Mosaique 4 |- | 136 | Mosaique 5 |- | 137 | NLM TV |- | 138 | NRJ 12 |- | 139 | NRJ Hits |- | 140 | NRJ Paris |- | 141 | NT1 |- | 142 | Sexy Sat TV 1 |- | 143 | Sexy Sat TV 2 |- | 144 | Sexy Sat TV 3 |- | 145 | Tishk TV |- | 146 | TV 5 Monde Europe |- | 147 | TV 5 Monde FBS |- | 148 | TV 8 Mont Blanc |- | 149 | 40+ Readers Wives |- | 150 | 9X UK |- | 151 | Al Hiwar TV |- | 152 | Al Mustakillah TV |- | 153 | ANB |- | 154 | ANN |- | 155 | ATN Bangla UK |- | 156 | Audi channel |- | 157 | B4U Music UK |- | 158 | Babecast |- | 159 | Babestation |- | 160 | Babestation 2 |- | 161 | Babeworld TV |- | 162 | Babeworld TV Xxxtra |- | 163 | Bang Babes |- | 164 | Bangla TV |- | 165 | BBC Alba |- | 166 | BBC Arabic |- | 167 | BBC Four |- | 168 | BBC HD |- | 169 | BBC News |- | 170 | BBC One London |- | 171 | BBC Parliament |- | 172 | BBC Three |- | 173 | BBC Two England |- | 174 | BBC World News |- | 175 | BEN |- | 178 | Best Direct |- | 179 | Best Direct plus |- | 180 | BET UK |- | 181 | Bid TV |- | 182 | Bliss |- | 183 | Bloomberg TV UK |- | 184 | Blue Kiss |- | 185 | Body in Balance UK |- | 186 | BritAsia TV |- | 187 | Bubble Hits Ireland |- | 188 | Bubble Hits UK |- | 189 | C Music TV |- | 190 | CBBC |- | 191 | CBeebies UK |- | 192 | Celebrity Shop |- | 193 | Challenge Jackpot |- | 194 | Channel 4 London |- | 195 | Channel 4 London +1 |- | 196 | Channel M |- | 197 | Channel S UK |- | 198 | Channel U |- | 199 | Chart Show TV |- | 200 | File:Ds810xe.jpg 5970 39714 2008-11-09T14:17:31Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 File:Ant-dish-quorum230cm-sband.jpg 5971 39715 2008-11-09T14:21:41Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 Category:Seuna 5972 39739 2008-11-10T16:26:21Z Staigard 752 New page: Seuna Seuna Template:Zheftakhanworld 5973 39785 2008-11-11T19:41:05Z Christina 18 New page: |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"|'''World''' ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"|[[Native life of Zheftakh|Zhefta... |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"|'''World''' ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"|[[Native life of Zheftakh|Zheftakhan]] Talk:Kȃlirian 5990 39854 2008-11-12T22:19:16Z Secret vice 1234 New page: Hi.

A few simple representatives exist on Galhaf, believed to have been brought by the [[Ancient Ones]] prior to their extinction, primarily soil-dwellers, but also a few obscure forest creatures. It is thought that the soil-dwellers were brought in experiments to adapt Galhafan soil to Khandan [[Xanthophyta|plants]], while the forest creatures may be descended from escaped food animals. They were originally classified as [[neoanimalia|neoanimals]], due to their pronounced differences from the Galhafan [[paleoanimalia|paleoanimals]], and their relatively short fossil history. There were problems with this view, the first being that the xenoanimals had significant differences from the neoanimals as well, but as both were highly truncated samples of their original biomes, this problem was thought to be merely a sampling bias. In addition, the xenoanimals appeared 12 million years ago, while neoanimals appeared very recently, however, it was simply assumed that there were two waves of colonization, that sentient life had evolved twice on the [[Wikipedia:Earth|ancestral home of humanity]]. Eventually, however, it was determined that the "first-wave neoanimals" (as they were known at the time) formed a distinct group from both the "second-wave neoanimals" and the paleoanimals, and were accordingly erected into their own kingdom, named "foreign animals". Later visits to Khanda identified that world as their home. As the name xenoanimalia had already been established, it was retained. == History == When [[Khanda]] was terraformed, the initial ecosystem was very simple. It is thought that the process was interrupted before it could be completed, or, alternately, that the initial terraformation was unstable and quickly fell apart, leaving mostly simple life. Most biologists agree that the Xenoanimals are a monophyletic group, but there are some who argue for polyphyly or paraphyly == Phyla == ''Incomplete'' *[[Xenophthalmata]] [[Category:Khandan Animals|*]] Category:Khandan Plants 5997 39906 2008-11-14T18:32:46Z Christina 18 New page: [[Category:Plants of the Chihazh System]] [[Category:Khandan Biology]] [[Category:Plants of the Chihazh System]] [[Category:Khandan Biology]] Xanthophyta 5998 39910 2008-11-14T18:42:27Z Christina 18 New page: {{Taxoboxstart}} {{Khandanworld}} {{ObTaxo|Domain|Neocyota}} |} '''Xanthophyta''' (''Zàrré drà'', "Yellow Plants") are a photosynthetic kingdom on [[Khanda]].

Central to the Trimundial religions' beliefs is the idea that the long-extinct [[Ancient Ones]] remain in existence in a spiritual form. They are believed to have near-God-like powers, including the ability to restore the dead to life on the [[Holy World]] (which is often identified with [[Dzesatakh]], or possibly an undiscovered moon of the same). They believe that the Ancient Ones created both [[humans (Galhaf)|humans]] and [[pteranthropus|pteranthropans]] through manipulating the processes of evolution, and then brought humans to [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]]. Many of the major sectarian divisions relate to views on the Pteranthropans. == Sects == === Integrationists === === Competitionists === === Supersessionists === Supersessionists believe that the Ancient Ones brought humanity to [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]] to replace their "failed experiment", the Pteranthropans.

It is written in the Latin alphabet but as the republic was once part of the Soviet Union, it was also written in Cyrillic. As the Nauradi people wish to distance themselves from the Soviet era, Latin is the sole alphabet recognized by the Nauradi Language Institute and the Nauradi government. =Alphabet and Pronunciation= ==Nauradi Alphabet== As stated above, Nauradi is written in both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet.

One must rely solely on the context to determine when the action takes place. Accordingly, Nauradi verbs have a wide variety of subtle nuances in meaning. === Aspect === '''Pefective''': Perfective verbs are used to express an action that takes place and ends at one particular point in time. They indicate the finality of the process. Perfective is formed by a prefix to the imperfective verb, by ablaut or a combination of both. If the context does not indicate time, the speaker of Nauradi would understand that the action takes place at the time of speaking. '''Imperfective''': The imperfective aspect is used to describe an action that covers an unspecified time. It indicates the durative, continuous, or unstarted nature of the process. The imperfective verb is the “dictionary form” of the word. As with the perfective, if the context does not indicate time, the speaker of Nauradi would understand that the action takes place at the time of speaking. === Mood === '''Realis''': This is used for statements of fact, certainty or reality. Just as the dictonary form of the verb is the imperfective, the dictionary form of the verb is realis. '''Irrealis''': Irrealis covers a broad spectrum of meanings that cannot be assigned to the realm of real time. This mood is used to express statements of uncertainty or conditionality. The irrealis is formed by the addition of a suffix. === Participles === Participles exist for all inflections of the verb and are formed by adding the participle suffix. They can be used as nouns, verbs, and adjectives. === Nauradi Verbs Used in Sentences === ==== Declaratives ==== '''Realis Perfective''': Actions that are complete or perceived as such. “I went to school last week.” “I’m fixing the car for the last time.” “Tomorrow I will get up at 7:00” '''Realis Imperfective''': Actions that do not show an actual start or end but still represent statements of reality. “I’m walking to the store at this moment.” “I will buy a house.” “I used to live in New York.” ==== Commands ==== Any of the four verb inflections can be used as a command. They are most commonly expressed in the irrealis. '''Irrealis perfective''': used as a direct command or order. '''Irrealis imperfective''': used as suggestion. Can often be translated with “perhaps.” Also used in intimate settings to ask someone to do something (“Kiss me”) '''Realis Commands''': If a command expressed in the realis form, the command would convey a stronger sense, with realis perfective being the stongest sense. ==== Queries ==== Queries can be made in either realis or irrealis, and would most commonly appear as realis perfective (where the answer is already known) or irrealis imperfective (where the answer is unknown). ==== Conditionals ==== Conditionals are expressed as a protasis and apodasis. The mood of the verbs in both clauses generally match. If the protasis is known to be true, the realis is used. If the protasis is a statment of conjecture, the irrealis is used. == Nauradi Nouns == Nauradi nouns are classified in two genders: animate and inanimate. Further specification can be inidcated in nouns by the addition of suffixes. The dictionary form of all nouns is the indeterminate form. === Animate Nouns === In their indeterminate form, animate nouns express a gender neutral concept; they do not indicate the anatomical sex of the entity they represent. Suffixes are added when it is necessary to indicate that the entity is either male or female. In example, the English word ''deer'', does not indicate either a male or female deer. English will have a futher specialized word to indicate this concept eg. ''buck'' or ''doe''. With some exceptions, Nauradi does not have such specialized words, but would add either a male or female suffix to identify the difference. {| class="wikitable" |+ |- !Male !Female |- | align = "center" |-'''is'''||align = "center" |-'''em''' |- |} === Inanimate Nouns === These are always indeterminate. Unlike animate nouns, there are no additional specications ascribed to them requiring an affix. === Special Considerations === '''Anthropomorphism''' Inanimate nouns can add the animate male/female suffixes in the case of literature or other instances where anthropomorphosis is necessary such as in children's literature. Anthropomorphized inanimate nouns are would still be modified by inanimate ajectives. '''Plant Kingdom''' While plants are biologically animate entities, Nauradi does not assign male or female properties to them. In the rare case that it may be required (as in scientific contexts), the animate male/femanle suffixes can be added. Despite this, they are always treated as animate entities requiring an animate adjective. == Nauradi Personal Pronouns == As there are no cases in Nauradi, personal pronouns exist in only one form. The personal pronoun always preceeds the verb in a declarative and by definition, follows the preposition. Personal pronouns exist in both singular and plural, and common forms for first person singular, second person singular and plural, and third person plural. The first person plural exists in both inclusive and exclusive forms. The third person singular exists for each gender, animate and inanimate. '''Dative-Accusative Construct''': The normal declarative structure in Nauradi is Subject-Verb-Object. In the case where two personal pronouns directly follow the verb, it is understood that those are first the indirect object (dative) and then the direct object (accusative). {| class="wikitable" |+ |- ! rowspan = "2" valign = "bottom"|Person|| Singluar||colspan="2" align="middle"|Plural |- !Common !Inclusive !Exclusive |- | align = "center" |1st ||align="center"| '''au''' ||align="center" |'''aeu'''||align="center" |'''eun''' |- | align = "center"|2nd ||align="center" | '''ulas''' ||align="center" colspan = "2"| '''tuel''' |- | align = "center"|3rd animate ||align="center"| '''ui''' ||align="center" colspan = "2" rowspan = "2"| '''tain''' |- | align = "center" |3rd inanimate ||align="center" | '''cin''' |- |} == Nauradi Prepositions == While Nauradi does not inflect for case, its 32 prepositions correspond to the cases listed below. {| class="wikitable" |+ |- !Preposition !Case !Description |- | align = "center" |'''aut'''||align = "center" |'''Ablative '''||''movement away from something'' |- | align = "center" |'''het'''|| align = "center" |'''Accusative '''||''direct object (the accusative preposition may or may not be present in a sentence.

Agreement is formed by adding a suffix indicating gender and number. Comparison of adjectives is at four levels, positive, comparative, superlative, and exaggerated. Comparative forms are indicated by prefix. == Nauradi Adverbs == Like adjectives, adverbs preceed the word which they modify. Comparison is formed with the same prefixes as adjectives. == Nauradi Conjunctions == ===Coordinating Conjunctions=== for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. There are two forms of the conjucntion '''and''' in Nauradi. While there is a common form which simply links elements together, there is a secondary word which links elements within elements. A sample English sentence might be: ''We had toast and jam and ham and eggs and coffee and orange juice for breakfast.'' Some of the elements in that list are actually a sublist of items which are always together as a single unit: ''toast and jam'' and ''ham and eggs'' The secondary form (represented by the symbol '''&''') is included below to show where it would be used in place of the common form of '''and''': ''We had toast '''&''' jam and ham '''&''' eggs and coffee and orange juice for breakfast.'' ===Correlative Conjunctions=== both … and, (n)either … (n)or, and not (only) … but (also) … ===Subordinating Conjunctions=== These introduce dependent clauses. although, before, until, while after, although, if, unless, so that, because ===Consecutive Conjunctions=== Nauradi has two conjunctions which indicate a sequence of events, the first shows a sequence of events in increasing direction and is most often translated "then." ''First I went to the store, '''then''' to the gas station, '''then''' the coffee shop.'' The second is most often translated as "before that." ''I went to the store and '''before that''' the gas station and '''before that''' the coffee shop.'' Consecutive conjunctions can also be used in a consecutive combination. = Articles = Nauradi uses no articles. = Number = Nauradi has two numbers, singular and plural. Plural is indicated by suffix in most cases though a few words exist that use the same form for singular and plural.

At the time of its discovery, it was the outermost known planet, hence the name given to it. It is on the edge of visibility, with a magnitude around 5, but was unknown in ancient times. Nyatakh was discovered in 286 OE by accident when the [[Kalpan]]ian astronomer [[Mpant of Tstan]] was checking a star map made in 251 by [[Nkwat of Tstan]] and found one "star" in the constellation Quiver completely missing. He became obsessed with the "missing star", and came to the conclusion that it was a planet. He carefully studied the constellations of the zodiac until he found one with a single star not noted on Nkwat's map. He did not initially declare his discovery, desiring to be certain that Nkwat had not simply overlooked that star. He made repeated observations of that constellation over two years, to collect observations proving planetary-type movement. He announced his discovery in 289 OE. Initially, his discovery was rejected. It was said that he had simply found a faint star. But gradually his claim was accepted as further observations proved its movement. Nyatakh is in a 3:1 orbital resonance with [[Dzesatakh]] [[Category:Planets of the Chihazh System]] File:Stupid address bar.png 6020 40115 2008-11-24T08:00:58Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 Template:Infoleft 6022 40124 2008-11-24T08:54:15Z Christina 18 New page: style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%" style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%" Template:Inforight 6023 40125 2008-11-24T08:54:41Z Christina 18 New page: style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%" style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%" Chara Taranakh 6024 53215 2010-04-25T04:07:52Z Christina 18 '''Chara Taranakh''' (698 - 823) was the first [[Imperial Ruler of the Kasshi|Empress]] of the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire]], a direct descendant of the last empress of the [[Fourth Kasshi Empire|Fourth Empire]], and grandmother of [[Lindar Taranakh|the present Emperor]]. Originally, her mother, [[Tarana Maretska]] (662-720) was to become the first Empress. However, her unexpected death shortly before the establishment of the modern Empire caused Chara to become empress. From 721 to 728, her father, Duke Lindar, served as Regent of the Empire, one of only two Regents in the modern Empire's history. She was married to Dzesa's eldest son, [[Nakhon]] (701 - 818) in the year 735 and had two children, Empress [[Chara Charakh]], and Princess [[Tarana Charakh|Tarana]]. In 760, after the [[Global War]] ended, there were calls for her resignation, although her daughter and heiress-apparent was only 22 [[Galhafan year|years]] old at the time. She refused, although she did dismiss her [[First Advisor]], [[Dzesa]] (who, however, later returned to power in 781). Empress Chara Taranakh presided over the formation of the [[International Council of Governments]] in the aftermath of the collapse of the [[Global Federation of States]]. In 798, she retired from the throne, passing the crown onto her daughter, and establishing the precedent of retirement at 100 (71 Earth years). {| border="1" align="center" cellpadding=3 class=bordertable style="background:#eeeeee" |- align="center" |width="30%" rowspan=2|Preceded by:<br>'''[[Tarana Maretska]]''' |width="40%"|'''Lady [[Mayor of Ivets]]'''<br>712-720 |width="30%" rowspan=2|Succeeded by:<br>'''[[Kronan Taranakh]]''' |- align="center" |width="40%"|'''Queen of [[Ivets (Realm)|Ivets]]'''<br>720-738 |- align="center" |width="30%"|Preceded by:<br>'''[[Lesser Interregnum]]''' |width="40%"|'''[[Imperial Ruler of the Kasshi|Empress of the Kasshi]]<br>([[House of Tarana]])'''<br>721 - 798 |width="30%"|Succeeded by:<br>'''[[Chara Charakh]]''' |} [[Category:Imperial Rulers of the House of Tarana]] Shiblatakh 6025 43450 2009-02-23T21:57:22Z Christina 18 {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width=300 class=bordertable style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #e9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |+ <big>'''{{PAGENAME}}'''</big> |- |'''Mean Distance from [[Suns of Galhaf|sun]]''': || 5,685,000 km km<br>.038 AU |- |'''Orbital Period''': || 2.81705 d |- |'''Eccentricity''': || 0 |- |'''Sidereal day''': || 2.81705 d |- |'''Diameter''': || |- |'''Surface area''': || |- |'''Axial tilt''': || 0º |- |'''Mass''': || 6.069 × 10<sup>25</sup> kg<br>(10.16 Earth-masses) |- |'''Gravity''': || |- |'''Number of moons''': || 0 |} '''Shiblatakh''' (from [[Classical Sanle]] ''Shimrá tkab'', "Hidden Star"*) is the innermost [[Planets of Chihazh|planet]] of [[Suns of Galhaf|Chihazh]]. == Structure == Shiblatakh is a super-Earth, formed from the core of a former gas planet, migrating inwards.

It is the second language I have ever worked on, and the first one that really ever got anywhere. ==some grammatical overview== Jorayn is a VOS, prepositional language that has quite a bit of case marking and complicated verbs with aspect tense and evidentiality on some verbs. Jorayn is a pro-drop language(It often does not state a pronoun that is evident from context or other grammatical cues). ==Orthography== vowels : {| !orthography !quality |- | i | ɨ |- | a | ɐ |- | o | o |- | u | u |- | ii | i |- | e | ɛ |- | é | e |} ''Consonants'' {| !orthography !quality |- |p |p |- |t |t |- |k |k |- |f |f |- |th |θ |- |s |s |- |sh |ʃ |- |ts |ts' |- |kka |k' |- |kko |k'<sup>w</sup> |- |r |r |- |rk |R |- |rrk |Rr |- |l |l |- |w |w |- |y |j |- |gn |ɲ |- |n |n |- |m |m |- |b |b |- |d |d |- |g |g |- |z |z |- |j |ʒ |- |} ==the real grammar section== ===Pronoun system=== Jorayn is a pro-drop language, which drops all subject pronouns, unless emphasis is desired, object pronouns are very rarely dropped. Jorayn has only one subject pronoun, which declines for the following things : *animacy *number *person *sexuality *case **The inanimate pronouns are jii(1SG) tii(2SG) and lii(3SG), which pluralize via the normal rules to form ja, ta, la. **The animate pronouns are as follows **Heterosexual : jor, tor, mor -> jur, tur, mur **Bisexual : jorr, torr, morr -> jurrk, turrk, murrk **Homosexual : corr, dorr, porr -> cur, dur, pur **the pronouns follow the normal case derivations outlined in thier respective sections notes on the pronouns -The default sexuality is Bisexual, and it would be rather impolite to presume that someone was heterosexual or homosexual. Not to say that most people are bisexual, heterosexuality is still prevalent, but people are inclined to say they're bisexual if they have *any* attraction to the same/opposite sex, as it makes them have more options open for marriage. - The sexuality marking is a diachronic result of the reassignment of a larger more elaborate system the included case, the plurals were reassigned to the bisexual and the singular objective became the homosexual pronouns; While this change was coming about I debated simply scraping the "extra" pronouns, but realized that since Jorayn is prodrop it would be pretty easy to hide one's sexuality in case you were uncomfortable with someone knowing, although the conculture that speaks the language wouldn't care one way or another, so the sexuality marking stayed. - The person marking on the inanimate pronouns comes from stories where inanimate things talk and to things, they will refer to themselves, and others will refer to them with these pronouns. A good example is the word for thankyou, which has a form for each second person pronoun: maniimotii, maniimota, maniimotor, maniimotur ... ect ===Verb forms and conjugations=== Jorayn has at least three verb conjugation groups, which are very distinct from one another, and share some, but not all of their conjugations. ===The -tyo verbs=== -tyo verbs in general have punctual aspect, and have a relationship with stems such as that STEM+tyo forms the verb more often than not. ===The VC(C)V verbs=== These verbs almost universally have non-punctual aspect, and many may be derived from -tyo verbs. They have a relationship with stems such as that the final vowel is replaced and one is appended to yield the carateristic VC(C)V# pattern. ===The fiiyoliioma verbs=== These are verbs that follow the conjugation of fiiyoliioma, which is similar to but not identical to VC(C)V verbs, as it also shares some features with -tyo verbs, and has some unique to it. ====The VC(C)V verbs==== All of the conjugations below are for the verb lare, to be blue. {| border="1" |+ Present conjugation of '''lare''' |- | !1st!!2nd!!3rd |- !singular ||lare||lara||laro |- !dual ||lere||lera||lero |- !quintuple ||lore||lora||loro |- !plural ||lure||lura||luro |- |} The rest of the conjugations of the verb are based on the present tense, which as you can see is made by the permutation of the end vowels. For a ''CVcv'' stem the ''V'' denotes number of the subject (1:'''a''', 2:'''e''', 5:'''o''', 3,4,6,7...:'''u''') and the ''v'' denotes the person of the subject (1st:'''e''', 2nd:'''a''', 3rd:'''o''', 4th:'''é''') The other tenses and aspects and moods are formed thusly, with '''lare''' as an example: ===Indicative mood=== ====durative aspect==== Futur tense : _n - '''laren''' : it will be blue Present tense : _∅ - '''lare''' : it is blue Past tense : _m - '''larem''' : it was blue ====Imperfect aspect==== The imperfect aspect is considered archaic, and is very rarely used in speech, it's been replaced by the past with a time specified with '''sun'''. This is used to decribe actions that began in the past, which continued almost to the present, or which will soon come to an end. The tenses denote how far back in the past the action started. Far : _né - '''larené''' : it's been blue ever since I can remember (but now it isn't, or it won't be for long) Past : _na - '''larena''' : it's been blue for a while (but now it isn't, or it won't be for long) Close : _nii - '''larenii''' it's only been blue for a bit, like a couple weeks max. (but now it isn't, or it won't be for long) ====habitual aspect==== non-past : Ṽ - '''larẽ''' : it's always blue (it's blue everyday, or every couple of days, no chance of that changing soon) past : _mṼ - '''laremẽ''' : it was always being blue (at least once every couple days) ====Eternal aspect==== non-time : Ṽa - '''larẽa''' : it doesn't matter when it started being blue, but it seems like it has been forever, even when it wasn't, and it will be forever, or at least till i'm dead and gone. ===Other moods=== ===the optative=== immediate : _r delayed : _ra A note to make sure of is that underlying NASAL+r clusters manifest as r+NASAL some usage examples of the optative, which is derived from the indicative. *koineder - I want to be together *koinedera - I will want us to be together *koinederna (underlying *koinedenra) - I want us to be together in the futur. *mortharrer - I want to be dying! *mortharrer - I want to die! ====The Imperative mood==== The specific imperative is formed by reduplication of the ultimate syllable. *vrminadada : come here! from vrminada : you are coming here. The general imperative is formed by addition of _mé, it is used mostly in exclamations, it's like asking the universe to do something you know it won't. I can only think of one example from English. *mortharromé jor - kill me now! (no one really expects someone to kill them when they say this) User:Piandiyul 6038 40224 2008-11-27T07:11:50Z Piandiyul 1265 New page: *Kanjese Language [[Where is Kanjese used]] [[Kanjese Writing]] [[Kanjese Grammar]] [[Kanjese Dictionary]] *Piatlese Language [[Where is Piatlese used]] [[Piatlese Writing]] [[Piatle... *Kanjese Language [[Where is Kanjese used]] [[Kanjese Writing]] [[Kanjese Grammar]] [[Kanjese Dictionary]] *Piatlese Language [[Where is Piatlese used]] [[Piatlese Writing]] [[Piatlese Grammar]] *Tailenese Language [[Where is Tailenese used]] [[Tailenese Writing]] [[Tailenese Grammar]] Where is Kanjese used 6039 40225 2008-11-27T07:44:24Z Piandiyul 1265 New page: *[[Kanjonesia]] Kanjonesia is a place that speaks Kanjese only.

The reigning empress or emperor's eldest child is first in line, followed by their descendants, and then the reigning monarch's siblings, and so forth. The [[House of Tarana|current Imperial Family]] is defined as descendants of [[Tarana Maretska]], mother of [[Chara Taranakh]]. In the original form of the succession law, daughters took precedence over sons (following long custom), but it has since been revised to set sons equal to daughters. Spouses of Imperial Family Members are given status as Associate Members of the Imperial Family, but are not eligible to the succession. They have the title of Prince/Princess. This status is terminated upon divorce. In the event that the Imperial House should die out, an election shall be held by the House of Nobles to choose a new Emperor or Empress, who shall also found a new House. The present order of sucession is: #[[Mayor of Ivets|Lord Mayor]] [[Lindar Lindarka]] of [[Ivets]] (b. 814) - son of [[Lindar Taranakh|current Emperor]] #Governor-General [[Marets Taranakh]] of All Extraplanetary Territories (b. 785) - daughter of [[Tarana Charakh]]; sister of current Emperor #''[[Yopat Maretska]]'' (b. 823) - son of Marets; grandson of Emperor #[[Netas Taranakh]] (b. 788) - daughter of Tarana; sister of Emperor #[[Farina Netaska]] (b. 803) - daughter of Netas; niece of Emperor #''[[Gilhat Farinakh]]'' (b. 840) - son of Farina; great nephew of Emperor #[[Kotath Netaska]] (b. 810) - son of Netas; nephew of Emperor #[[Krinas Taranakh]] (b. 788) - daughter of Tarana; sister of Emperor #''[[Krinas Krinaska]]'' (b. 823) - daughter of Krinas Taranakh; niece of Emperor #Queen [[Kaseth Kronanka]] of [[Ivets (Realm)|Ivets]] (b. 743) - daughter of [[Kronan Taranakh]]; 1st cousin once removed of current Emperor #Lady Mayor [[Liyar Kasethka]] of Matar (b. 782) - daughter of Kaseth; 2nd cousin #''[[Galen Liyarka]]'' (b. 817) - son of Liyar; 2nd cousin once removed #''[[Baket Liyarka]]'' (b. 821) - son of Liyar; 2nd cousin once removed #[[Paket Kasethka]] (b. 787) - son of Kaseth; 2nd cousin #[[Maren Kronanka]] (b. 748) - daughter of Kronan Taranakh; 1st cousin once removed #[[Arets Kapatska]] (b. 806) - daughter of [[Kapats Kronanka]], late son of Kronan; 2nd cousin #Duchess [[Yarel Taranakh]] of [[Duchy of Kassa|Kassa]] (b. 705) - daughter of Tarana Maretska; great aunt of current Emperor #[[Baraz Maraska]] (b. 772) - grandson of Yarel; 2nd cousin of current Emperor #[[Relya Yarelka]] (b. 740) - daughter of Yarel; 1st cousin once removed of current Emperor #[[Ganar Relyaka]] (b. 782) - daughter of Relya; 2nd cousin of current Emperor #''[[Ganar Ganarka]]'' (b. 840) - daughter of Ganar; 2nd cousin once removed of current Emperor #''[[Narga Ganarka]]'' (b. 842) - daughter of Ganar; 2nd cousin once removed of current Emperor #''[[Letan Ganarka]]'' (b. 845) - daughter of Ganar; 2nd cousin once removed of current Emperor #''[[Savet Ganarka]]'' (b. 845) - daughter of Ganar; 2nd cousin once removed of current Emperor #''[[Haleth Ganarka]]'' (b. 845) - daughter of Ganar; 2nd cousin once removed of current Emperor #[[Mattso Tsomatka]] (b. 746) - son of [[Tsomat Taranakh]]; 1st cousin once removed of current Emperor #[[Valet Mattsokh]] (b. 791) - son of Mattso; 2nd cousin of current Emperor 1-9 belong to the Chara Branch of the House of Tarana, 10-16 belong to the Kronan branch, 17-25 belong to the Yarel Branch, and 26-27 belong to the Tsomat Branch. The Emperor plus these 27 represent the entire House of Tarana. If a person under the age of 30 [[Galhafan year|years]] becomes Emperor/Empress, a regent is appointed. The choice of regent is automatic, according to another set of rules #Parent #Spouse #Spouse of previous Emperor/Empress #Highest-ranking individual in line of succession over the age of 30 After that, it's the same as the line of succession, minus the under-30's. There have been two Regents in the modern Empire's history. The first was Duke Lindar, father of the [[Chara Taranakh|first Empress]] (who was a minor at the time of the Empire's founding) and the current Emperor, who was regent during the later part of [[Dzesa Charakh|his cousin]]'s short reign.

It consists of all descendants of [[Tarana Maretska]], the mother of [[Chara Taranakh]], first Empress of the present Empire. Tarana had been expected to take the throne upon the formation of the Empire, but died unexpectedly two years before the Empire was created. She had four daughters and one son, forming 5 branches of the Imperial Family (1 of which has since died out).

Her daughter was the first Empress, [[Chara Taranakh]]. She was Queen of [[Ivets (Realm)|Ivets]] from 712 until her death. In the old Realm of Ivets, the heir's title was Lady/Lord Mayor of [[Ivets]] (the city). This title was retained as a title for heir of the Empress. The title of Queen/King of Ivets initially remained a subsidiary title of the Empress, until 738 when Empress Chara Taranakh bestowed the title upon her younger brother, separating out the city and surrounding area as the current City-State of Ivets.

Waleth remained unmarried, and had two children, which was an acceptable practice in the early 8th century, but has, in more recent years, become less acceptable. Between 721 and 763, she held the title of Princess. In 753, she was given the position of Lady Protector of [[Zobar]]. In the year 763, she renounced her membership in the [[House of Tarana]] and proclaimed herself Queen of Zobar. She was acknowledged as Queen by her [[Chara Taranakh|elder sister]] in 792. She stepped down as queen in 812, following the precedent set by her sister in the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Kasshi Empire]]. She had two children and a number of other descendants.

I’m going to attempt to explain the '''Siopicus Dimension'''. However, I am not a Quantum Physicist, therefore I’m going to explain it in simple English-but I guess that is all that’s necessary right? First, some relevant trivia. Within the realms of our own Earth and Universe, we have vibrations and frequencies. When something vibrates, it can be fast or slow, but invariably, this will cause some form of friction, noise or heat. Frequency is the number of cycles per unit of time (''or simply describes the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time'').<br/>Vibrations can give off sound and other measurable reactions. For example, the frequency range of the human voice is between (''approx'') '''300''' and '''3000 hertz''' (''remember, the voice is created by vibration of the vocal chords''). The human ear is capable of detecting sound within a frequency of roughly '''20 Hz - 20 kHz'''. Normally, anything above or below this cannot be heard. But that does not mean that it is not there. It simply means that the vibration is such that its inherent reaction is 'inaudible' to us. But there is also another factor in our Universe to consider: '''transparency'''. Air for example is transparent, can’t be seen, and on many occasions, cannot be smelt or felt. Doesn’t mean it’s not there though does it? And of course, it’s vibrating.<br/>Quite simply, the Siopicus Dimension vibrates on a frequency that cannot be detected by us. But even more so, on a frequency that allows it to co-exist alongside, and indeed interact with our own universe. '''Here is an even simpler explanation''' Imagine a jug full of rice grains. Now imagine a toy soldier standing on top of the rice. The soldier stands quite sturdily on top of the rice, because it appears that the bed of rice is solid. Now, add a certain degree of vibration underneath the jug, and the toy soldier sinks into the rice and disappears. This is because, as a result of the vibration, the rice has now lost its rigidity and become unstable.<br/>This is how '''Earth''' and '''E'hwelos''' co-exist within one another; the vibration of the '''Siopicus Dimension''' is such that it merges with our own dimension and becomes transparent. The degree of vibration is constant (it has to be), in much the same way that Earth's orbital speed is constant, or the speed of light is constant.

It is also used to indicate /ə/, as can the simple vowels in unstressed syllables. <br> ''U'' before a vowel is /w/, which never occurs before a back vowel (''o'' or ''u''). In the case where composition brings ''u'' before such a vowel, it becomes ''v'': ''-au'' + ''o-'' = ''-avo-''. <br> Though vowels cannot remain in hiatus (two sequential vowels which do not indicate a diphthong), they do appear frequently with understood glides between. For example, ''ia'' represents two syllables, /i.jə/, and ''uan'' can be one or two syllables, /wan/ or /u.wən/. The two syllable reading is usually distinguished with ''y'', making ''uan'' (/wan/) and ''uyn'' (u.wən or u.wn̩), exactly as the native script does. It can also be indicated in romanization with ', so that the two could be distinguished as ''uan'' and ''u'an''. This latter method is a remnant of an older romanization. <br> The digraph ''ch'' does not appear, replaced in mutation by ''h''. The phoneme /ŋ/ is always represented by ''ñ'', even in a cluster: /ŋg/ ''ñg''. <br> Because Taalen does not allow stops finally, stems or words ending in stops aspirate them, and mark them with ' to indicate their origins: {| | ''ragh'' /ˈɾaɣ/ 'mist' || ''ragha'' /ˈɾa.ɣə/ 'mists'<br> |- align="center" | ''rag'h'' /ˈɾaɣ/ 'he carries' || ''ragen'' /ˈɾa.gɛn/ 'I carry' |} A newer romanization is gaining ground, in which such distinctions are not written, and left to the reader to clarify. The use of the apostrophe therefore has acquired an antiquated, victorian feel to its use. <br> Geminate consonants (such as ''ll'' /lː/) are represented by doubling the letter. In the native writing system, a special symbol is used for this (as well as in ''aa''). The geminate digraphs are represented by ''tth'', ''ddh'', ''ggh'', ''ssh'', ''llh'', and ''rrh'' (''ph'' and ''bh'' only appear as the result of mutation, and thus won't appear geminated).

During his mission, which extended from 1869 to 1873, Walker made the acquaintance of an elderly Southern Paiute Indian whom he called Brother Joseph (his Indian name is no longer known). Brother Joseph had embraced Mormonism and was eager to provide Walker with assistance and information. As a young man, Brother Joseph was very well acquainted with the Tepa, having spent several years with them. He often accompanied trading expeditions to the Tepa and at one time even had a Tepa wife. She died during the birth of their first child, who also did not survive. As a result of his frequent and prolonged contact with the Tepa, he learned their language and participated in their community life until the death of his wife and son, after which he moved back to live with his own people. Brother Joseph was reluctant at first to talk about his experiences among the Tepa, since they were bound up with the memory of the death of his young family. But soon Walker had gained his trust to the point where Brother Joseph would talk readily and freely about what he remembered of his former life. The small Tepa community did not survive to the twentieth century; it was severly decimated by a smallpox epidemic, which was ironically most likely carried to their pueblo by Brother Joseph himself. The few survivors moved to neighboring Ute, Paiute and Navajo communities and soon forgot their former language and way of life. The location of the last Tepa pueblo is now unknown. It was most likely located on one of the tributaries of the Colorado River, but it is presumably submerged beneath the waters of Lake Powell, which was created when the Glenn Canyon Dam was built. In recording his own thoughts and experiences in his journals, Walker made sporadic use of the Deseret Alphabet. He was, however, consistent in its use for transcribing the sounds of Tepa as they were reported to him by Brother Joseph. The Deseret Alphabet was designed to accurately represent the speech sounds of English, but by adding a single diacritic to two of the characters, Walker was able to adapt this alphabet for use in transcribing Tepa. Walker carried his journals back to his hometown of Murray, Utah, where they remained in his possession until his death in 1943. After his death, his family donated all of his writings to the University of Utah Library, where they were kept in storage to await cataloguing. Due to budget cuts at the University of Utah, Walker’s journals remained in the library’s warehouse (along with many other materials of similar historical value) and were never catalogued or properly archived. When the Mariott Library added its new wing in 1995, many of the items stored in the warehouse were finally brought to light, including the Walker journals containing the Tepa material. The Linguistics Program at the University of Utah was made aware of the Tepa materials, and the program director notified me of their existence. I was fortunate to have access to the journals, which I used to prepare the following grammar of Tepa. At a later date I hope to be able to edit and prepare Elder Walker’s journal for publication, as it contains material of interest to the LDS historian, as well as to anthropologists and linguists concerned with this period of white-Indian contacts. It should be stressed here that all of the information we now have about the Tepa language comes from a non-native speaker. There are doubtless many linguistic riches which are irretrieveably lost. However, I feel that the information that we do have deserves to be brought to light, even in this sketchy and incomplete form. ==Index== {{Tepa Index}} [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Amerindian conlangs]] Template:Tepa Index 6074 40583 2008-12-07T15:12:07Z Elzinga 315 New page: #[[Tepa|Introduction to Tepa]] #[[Tepa Phonology]] #[[Tepa nouns|Inflectional Morphology of Nouns]] #[[Tepa verbs|Inflectional Morphology of Verbs]] #[[Tepa derivation|Some Word Formation]... #[[Tepa|Introduction to Tepa]] #[[Tepa Phonology]] #[[Tepa nouns|Inflectional Morphology of Nouns]] #[[Tepa verbs|Inflectional Morphology of Verbs]] #[[Tepa derivation|Some Word Formation]] #[[Tepa particles|Particles]] #[[Tepa syntax|Syntax]] #[[Tepa texts|Annotated Texts]] Tepa Phonology 6075 40889 2008-12-16T23:11:30Z Elzinga 315 /* Prosody and Stress */ In this section, I will describe some important phonological processes of Tepa as well as stress and prosody. ==Sounds== The full range of sounds heard in Tepa is given below. {| cellspacing=5 ! || align=center| labial || align=center| dental || align=center| alveolar || align=center| palatal || align=center| velar || align=center| glottal |- | '''stops''' || align=center| p b || || align=center| t d || align=center| tš dž || align=center| k g || align=center| (ʔ) |- | '''fricatives''' || align=center| ɸ β || align=center| θ ð || align=center| s z || align=center| š ž || align=center| x ɣ || align=center| h |- | '''nasals''' || align=center| m || || align=center| n || align=center| ñ || align=center| ŋ |- | '''liquids''' || || align=center| r l |- | '''glides''' || align=center| w || || || align=center| y |} Based on alternation patterns, these sounds can be grouped into the following eleven consonantal phonemes: {| cellspacing=5 ! || align=center| labial || align=center| dental || align=center| alveolar || align=center| palatal || align=center| velar || align=center| glottal |- | '''stops''' || align=center| p || || align=center| t || || align=center| k |- | '''fricatives''' || || || align=center| s || || || align=center| h |- | '''nasals''' || align=center| m || || align=center| n |- | '''liquids''' || || align=center| l |- | '''glides''' || align=center| w || || || align=center| y |} Only these symbols will be used in the practical orthography (with the addition of <j>, which is explained in the section [[#De-syllabification|De-syllabification]]), although I will more narrowly transcribe examples given to illustrate phonological and morphological phenomena. ==Common Phonological Processes== ===Lenition=== Lenition, or the weakening of consonants, is the most pervasive phonological process in Tepa. Lenition affects the voiceless stops /p,t,k/ and /l/. Between vowels within a word, the voiceless stops become corresponding voiced fricatives ([β,ð,ɣ]), and /l/ becomes [r]. /supi/ → [suβi] 'breast' /pitɨ/ → [piðɨ] 'eye' /tuku/ → [tuɣu] 'animal' /huli/ → [huri] 'be blue' In derived contexts, a voiceless stop may come to stand between a vowel and a sonorant (nasal, glide, or /l/). In this environment, it also lenites to a voiced fricative; /l/ however, does not change. /puplu/ → [puβlu] 'pick:PAUC' /kakwɨ/ → [kaɣwɨ] 'bite:PAUC' After nasals and /l/, stops remain stops but become voiced; /l/ does not change. In addition, nasals assimilate to the place of articulation of the following stop. /tunpa/ → [tumba] 'belly' /tɨntɨ/ → [tɨndɨ] 'name:PAUC' /anki/ → [ʔaŋgi] 'fish' /tɨlpa/ → [tɨlba] 'talk:L' Before obstruents (other stops, /s/ and /h/), stops become voiceless fricatives; /l/ does not change. Additionally, /t/ before /s/ becomes [s] rather than [θ]; this creates a geminate [ss]. /piptɨ/ → [piɸtɨ] 'eye:PAUC' /tɨtka/ → [tɨθka] 'talk:PAUC' /piktɨ/ → [pixtɨ] 'eyes:COLL' /tɨtsɨ/ → [tɨssɨ] 'flower:PAUC' ===Palatalization=== Palatalization is another common process in Tepa; it affects the consonants /t,s,n/. Before /i/ or /y/, /t/ becomes [tš], /s/ becomes [š], and /n/ becomes [ñ]. /tiwi/ → [tšiwi] 'bird' /pɨsi/ → [pɨši] 'cut' /uni/ → [uñi] 'snake' Palatalization affects sounds which result from lenition as well. Thus, a [ð] preceding an [i] or [y] becomes [ž], and [d] becomes [dž] (the [n] preceding the [d] is also palatalized to [ñ]). /sati/ → [saži] 'be full' /nunti/ → [nuñdži] 'wing:PAUC' A /t/ which preceds an /s/ which is palatalized (becoming [š]) is itself palatalized to [š]. /tutsi/ → [tušši] 'rub:PAUC' When /t,s,n/ precede a /y/ the resulting cluster becomes a geminate palatalized consonant: /titya/ → [tšižža] 'singe:PAUC' /sasya/ → [sašša] (gloss uncertain) /nɨnyɨ/ → [nɨññɨ] 'be old' ===Devoicing=== A vowel is optionally devoiced at the end of a word following an obstruent if it is short, unstressed and not part of a diphthong. The preceding consonant is also devoiced if possible. /tutku/ → [tuθku] or [tuθku̥] 'animal:PAUC' /anki/ → [ʔaŋgi] or [ʔaŋki̥] 'fish' /supi/ → [suβi] or [suɸi̥] 'breast' ===Nasalization=== Nasalization of vowels occurs before nasal consonants without exception. It is not indicated in the orthography, and will not be transcribed. If an /n/ occurs word-finally, the vowel preceding it is lengthened and nasalized and /n/ is deleted. /pɨn/ → [pɨ̃ɨ̃] 'child' In the practical orthography, the final <n> is retained to show that the syllable is closed with a consonant and thus heavy (see the section [[#Prosody and Stress|Prosody and Stress]]), even though the <n> is not pronounced as such. ===De-syllabification=== The high vowels may lose their status as syllabic peaks in morphologically conditioned cases. When this happens, /u/ becomes [w], and /i/ and /ɨ/ become [y]. However the [y] resulting from a nonsyllabic /ɨ/ does not palatalize a preceding consonant, while the [y] resulting from a nonsyllabic /i/ does. To distinguish between the two kinds of derived [y], I adopt the orthographic convention that <y> denotes a nonsyllabic (and palatalizing) /i/, while <j> denotes a nonsyllabic (and non-palatalizing) /ɨ/. /tutwa/ → [tuðwa] 'person:PAUC' /titya/ → [tižža] 'singe:PAUC' /tɨtja/ → [tɨðya] 'day:PAUC' ===Glide Fortition=== The glides /w/ and /y/ become respectively [ɸ] and [š] when following a high vowel [i,ɨ,u] and preceding an obstruent. This occurs only in morphologically conditioned environments. /tawiwtu/ → [tawiɸtu] 'horn:PAUC' /yɨyka/ → [yɨška] (gloss uncertain) ==Prosody and Stress== The description of the prosody and morphology of Tepa is heavily bound up with the notions of heavy and light syllable. A heavy syllable in Tepa is a syllable which contains a diphthong or long vowel, or which is closed by any cosonant. A light syllable contains a single short vowel and is open. There is a general prohibition against "superheavy" syllables; that is, syllables which are both closed by a consonant and contain a long vowel. (There are two sources of exceptions to this general constraint: [[Tepa particles#Interrogative and Indefinite Pronouns|indefinite/interrogative pronouns]], and [[Tepa particles#Coordinating Conjunctions|coordinating conjunctions]].) All syllables in Tepa have one of the following shapes ('VV' indicates a long vowel or diphthong): {| cellspacing=5 | align=center| V || align=center| CV |- | align=center| VV || align=center| CVV |- | align=center| VC || align=center| CVC |} Words in Tepa never end phonetically in a consonant; that is, possible word-final syllables are a subset of the possible syllables. Also, a word in Tepa must consist of at least a heavy syllable or two light syllables. That is, a single light syllable is not a legitimate word (although it can be a legitimate root). Stress in Tepa is marked by higher pitch and greater amplitude on the stressed syllable. Stress is placed on all heavy syllables, with the leftmost heavy syllable receiving primary or word stress, and other heavy syllables receiving secondary stress. If there are no heavy syllables, stress is placed on the leftmost syllable, with secondary stresses occuring on odd syllables thereafter. The final syllable, if light, is never stressed. ==Index== {{Tepa Index}} File:0 Tabula Rasa.png 6076 40593 2008-12-07T16:26:03Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:1 Phoenician.png 6077 40594 2008-12-07T16:26:24Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:2 Hebrew.png 6078 40595 2008-12-07T16:26:44Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:3 Cuneiform.png 6079 40596 2008-12-07T16:26:57Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:4 Arabic.png 6080 40597 2008-12-07T16:27:11Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:5 Hieroglyphics.png 6081 40598 2008-12-07T16:27:24Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:7 Greek.png 6082 40599 2008-12-07T16:27:43Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:6 Mayan.png 6083 40600 2008-12-07T16:28:17Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:8 Hanzi.png 6084 40601 2008-12-07T16:28:59Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:9 Katakana.png 6085 40602 2008-12-07T16:29:21Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:10 Hangul.png 6086 40603 2008-12-07T16:29:38Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:11 Tibetan.png 6087 40604 2008-12-07T16:29:57Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:12 Mongolian.png 6088 40605 2008-12-07T16:30:10Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:13 Scriptor.png 6089 40606 2008-12-07T16:30:22Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:14 banned.gif 6090 40607 2008-12-07T16:30:38Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] File:15 Dzahui.gif 6091 40608 2008-12-07T16:30:51Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] [[Category:Scriptorium Icons]] by [[User:Qang|Sano]] Category:Scriptorium Icons 6092 40609 2008-12-07T16:31:30Z Qang 1187 New page: Scriptorium Icons. Scriptorium Icons. Tepa nouns 6094 40890 2008-12-16T23:13:03Z Elzinga 315 ==Phase== The most fundamental distinction marked in the grammar of Tepa is that of phase. Both nouns and verbs can be marked for either bound or unbound phase. The prosodic cue for bound phase is a final heavy syllable, while that for unbound phase is a final light syllable. Nouns in Tepa which are unbound in phase are semantically indefinite in reference, while nouns which are bound in phase are semantically definite in reference. Some examples are given below: {| cellspacing=5 | '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''nɨŋa'' ‘woman, a woman’ || ''nɨŋaa'' ‘the woman’ |- | ''pɨkɨ'' ‘bone, a bone’ || ''pɨkɨɨ'' ‘the bone’ |- | ''tawitu'' ‘horn, a horn’ || ''tawituu'' ‘the horn’ |- | ''anki'' ‘fish, a fish’ || ''ankii'' ‘the fish’ |} ==Number== Nouns in Tepa are marked for paucal and two kinds of plural: distributive and collective. Singular nouns remain umarked. Below I discuss the formation of these number categories. ===Paucal=== Only the final two syllables of a root are involved in the formation of number categories; these two syllables as a unit are referred to as the ‘base’. To form the paucal stem, the initial CV sequence of the base is copied and prefixed to the base. For nouns which are unbound in phase, the second to last vowel is then deleted. For nouns which are bound in phase, the final vowel is lengthened. This is illustrated below with the roots /pitɨ/ ‘eye’ and /palata/ ‘leaf’. {| cellspacing=5 | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''pitɨ'' || /piptɨ/ [piɸtɨ] || /pipitɨɨ/ [piβiðɨɨ] |- | ''palata'' || /palalta/ [paralda] || /palalataa/ [pararaðaa] |} Semantically, the paucal refers to a small collection of objects which can be grouped together. For objects normally occuring in pairs, the paucal is understood as a dual; thus, ''pipte'' is best translated as ‘a pair of eyes’. ===Distributive=== The distributive plural is formed by suffixing a copy of the base to itself. For unbound phase, the second to last vowel is deleted, and for bound phase, the final vowel is lengthened. {| cellspacing=5 | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''pitɨ'' || /pitɨptɨ/ [piðɨɸtɨ] || /pitɨpitɨɨ/ [piðɨβiðɨɨ] |- | ''palata'' || /palatalta/ [paraðalda] || /palatalataa/ [paraðaraðaa] |} Semantically, the distributive plural denotes 7 or 8 objects or more where a state or event is predicated of each object individually, rather than of the collection as a whole. Thus a distributive reading of the sentence ‘The men were running around.’ denotes that each individual man was running around independently of the others. ===Collective=== The collective plural is formed by infixing a /k/ before the final syllable of the base for unbound phase. For bound phase, a sequence of /k/ and a copy of the rhyme (everything after the onset in the syllable) of the base-initial syllable is inserted before the final syllable of the base; the final vowel is lengthened. {| cellspacing=5 | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''pitɨ'' || /piktɨ/ [pixtɨ] || /pikitɨɨ/ [piɣiðɨɨ] |- | ''palata'' || /palakta/ [paraxta] || /palakataa/ [ paraɣaðaa] |} Semantically, the collective plural denotes a group of objects where a state or event is predicated of the group as a collection, implying some kind of internal structure or coherence to the group. This is especially common when referring to a group of animals, and thus serves the same function as English expressions such as ‘a flock of’ or ‘a herd of’. ===Exceptions=== ====Monosyllabic Roots==== Monosyllabic roots form a large class of exceptions to the rules describing the formation of the number categories. There are two basic types of monosyllabic roots: 1) CV roots, and 2) CVX roots, where X is a consonant or vowel. For both types of monosyllabic roots, there is no distinction between bound and unbound phase in forms not marked for number (i.e. singular forms). Thus, [tuu] (/tu/) can be either ‘the dog’ or ‘a dog’, and [pɨ̃ɨ̃] (/pɨn/) can be either ‘the child’ or ‘a child’. Forms inflected for number do distinguish between bound and unbound phase. Forms for paucal and distributive plural are homophonous for monosyllabic roots. =====CV roots===== Since there is a prohibition in the language on words consisting of only a single light syllable, CV roots are lengthened in speech (and in the orthography) to CVV. To form the paucal or distributive plural, the root is first copied. For unbound phase, the medial consonant is geminated (doubled), and for bound phase, the final vowel is lengthened; this is illustrated with the roots /tu/ ‘dog’ and /yɨ/ ‘egg’. {| cellspacing=5 | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''tu'' || /tuttu/ [tuttu] || /tutuu/ [tuðuu] |- | ''yɨ'' || /yɨyyɨ/ [yɨyyɨ] || /yɨyɨɨ/ [yɨyɨɨ] |} To form the collective plural of CV roots, the rule given [[#Collective|above]] applies to this reduplicated form: {| cellspacing=5 | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''tu'' || /tuktu/ [tuxtu] || /tukutuu/ [tuɣuðuu] |- | ''yɨ'' || /yɨkyɨ/ [yɨɣyɨ] || /yɨkɨyɨɨ/ [yɨɣɨyɨɨ] |} =====CVX roots===== The second type of monosyllabic roots are those roots which contain a long vowel, diphthong, or are closed by /n/; the cover symbol ‘X’ represents the second part of the long vowel, the glide of the diphthong and final /n/. The following schema illustrates the formation of the paucal or distributive plural of these roots: {| cellspacing=5 | root || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | /CVX/ || CVXCV || CVCVX |} This is demonstrated below with the roots /tɨɨ/ ‘foot’, /lɨi/ ‘star’ and /pɨn/ ‘child’. {| cellspacing=5 | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''tɨɨ'' || /tɨɨtɨ/ [tɨɨðɨ] || /tɨtɨɨ/ [tɨðɨɨ] |- | ''lɨi'' || /lɨilɨ/ [lɨirɨ] || /lɨlɨi/ [lɨrɨi] |- | ''pɨn'' || /pɨnpɨ/ [pɨ̃mbɨ] || /pɨpɨn/ [pɨβɨ̃ɨ̃] |} The collective plural is formed according to the following schema: {| cellspacing=5 | root || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | /CVX/ || CVXkV || CVkVX |} This is demonstrated below with /tɨɨ/, /lɨi/ and /pɨn/. {| cellspacing=5 | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | ''tɨɨ'' || /tɨɨkɨ/ [tɨɨɣɨ] || /tɨkɨɨ/ [tɨɣɨɨ] |- | ''lɨi'' || /lɨikɨ/ [lɨiɣɨ] || /lɨkɨi/ [lɨɣɨi] |- | ''pɨn'' || /pɨnkɨ/ [pɨ̃ŋɡɨ] || /pɨkɨn/ [pɨɣɨ̃ɨ̃] |} ====Roots with Penultimate Heavy Syllables==== Roots with a penultimate heavy syllable are the second class of exceptions to the regular number inflection rules given above. These roots are exceptional in their formation of the unbound distributive plural. Whereas the regular distributive plural formation involves the suffixation of the entire base to the base, for roots with penultimate heavy syllables only copy the final -XCV as a suffix. Schematically this is CVXCV-XCV where ‘X’ is a cover symbol for vowel length, a glide, or /n/. This is demonstrated for the root /sunpa/ ‘belly’. /sunpa/ → /sunpa-npa/ [sũmbãmba] As expected, lengthening the final vowel gives the bound phase form: /sunpa/ → /sunpanpaa/ [sũmbãmbaa]. ==Possession== Nouns may also be marked for possession. This marking indicates the grammatical person of the possessor. The possessive prefixes are: ''wa-'' ‘first person’ ''ku-'' ‘second person’ ''ne-'' ‘third person’ Note that there is no distinction in number for the possessor; that is, possession by a single first person is not marked differently on the noun from possession by a non-singular first person. Possessed nouns will always be bound in phase, since they are always definite in reference. Adding a possessive prefix to a CV root creates a disyllabic form which is inflected for number as shown above. This is illustrated below with the root /tu/ ‘dog’. ''watuu'' ‘my/our dog’ ''wawatuu'' ‘my/our dog:PAUC’ ''watuwatuu'' ‘my/our dogs:DIST’ ''wakatuu'' ‘my/our dogs:COLL’ ==Index== {{Tepa Index}} Tepa verbs 6095 40895 2008-12-16T23:21:19Z Elzinga 315 /* Geminate Grade */ ==Phase== Just as with nouns, verbs in Tepa are marked for phase. For verbs, the semantic correlate of bound phase is perfective aspect, while the semantic correlate of unbound phase is imperfective aspect. This distinction is marked in the same way on verbs as it is on nouns; that is, a final heavy syllable marks bound phase, while a final light syllable marks unbound phase. ==Argument Structure== Verbs in Tepa contain very specific information concerning the arguments involved in a particular event or state of affairs, even though agreement morphology does not operate in the familiar sense. Predicates are grouped into three types depending on the number of obligatory arguments: 1) intransitive and stative predicates, which require at most one argument; 2) transitive predicates, which require two arguments; and 3) ditransitive predicates, which require three arguments. In the sections which follow, I will discuss each predicate type in turn. ===Intransitive and Stative Predicates=== Intransitive and stative predicates require at most one argument. This argument is marked on the verb by a prefix which varies with the grammatical person of the argument. These prefixes are: ''wa-'' ‘first person’ ''ku-'' ‘second person’ ''0-'' ‘third person’ ===Transitive Predicates=== Transitive predicates can be described in terms of four relations between arguments and three operators which act on these relations. The four relations involved are: second person acting on first person (2>1) second person acting on third person (2>3) first person acting on third person (1>3) third person acting on different third person (3>3') Each relation has a particular prefix associated with it; these prefixes are homophonous with (and have the same origin as) the intransitive and stative prefixes (with the exception of ''le-'' 2>1, which isn’t available with an intransitive or stative predicate), but their semantic content is different because of the nature of the predicate to which they attach: ''le-'' 2>1 ''ku-'' 2>3 ''wa-'' 1>3 ''0-'' 3>3' Conflating these relations gives the person hierarchy: 2>1>3>3' The three operators which act on these relations are: 1) direct, where relations proceed in the order specified in the person hierarchy; 2) inverse, where the person hierarchy is reversed (i.e. 3’&gt;3&gt;1&gt;2); and 3) reflexive, where the second term of the direct relation is replaced by a second occurrence of the first term. These operators are each associated with a particular verbal grade, and will be discussed in the section on [[#Verbal Grades|verbal grades]]. ===Ditransitive Predicates=== It is easiest to think of the arguments of ditransitive predicates in terms of an “argument chain.” The head of the chain is the argument instigating the action (the agent) and the tail of the chain is the affected argument (the patient or theme). The third argument is an intermediate member of the chain and indicates location, goal, benefactive, or instrument. The prefixes are the same as those for transitive predicates, and only encode the relation between agent and patient; the intermediate argument does not enter into this grammatical relationship, but is expressed as an object following the verb, or as a pronominal clitic attached to the right edge of the inflected verb. ==Verbal Grades== There are three verbal grades in Tepa; they correspond to the operators discussed [[#Transitive Predicates|above]]. They are: 1) normal grade, 2) l-grade, and 3) geminate grade. The formation of the l-grade and the geminate grade is defined on a base derived from the verbal root. This base is optimally disyllabic; for disyllabic roots, the root itself is taken to be the base. For roots of more than two syllables, the final two syllables are taken as the base. There are verb roots in which the final syllable has no onset. In these roots, the first syllable invariably contains a high vowel; the non-syllabic version of this high vowel provides the onset for the final syllable in forming the base. {| cellspacing=5 |- | '''root''' || '''base''' |- | ''tɨpa'' ‘speak’ || ''tɨpa'' |- | ''lua'' ‘lie’ || ''luwa'' |- | ''kɨa'' ‘flow’ || ''kɨja'' |} As with nouns, monosyllabic roots are an important class of exceptions to base formation. For roots consisting only of a single light syllable, this syllable is reduplicated to form the base: {| cellspacing=5 |- | '''root''' || '''base''' |- | ''ti'' ‘be small’ || ''titi'' |} For heavy monosyllables, a copy of the vowel is repeated after the coda; this forces the coda to become an onset for a second syllable. This is illustrated below: {| cellspacing=5 |- | '''root''' || '''base''' |- | ''pai'' ‘dig’ || ''pa.ya'' |- | ''nɨn'' ‘live’ || ''nɨ.nɨ'' |} ===Normal Grade=== The normal grade of the verb indicates that the argument relations required by the verb proceed in the order of the argument hierarchy; that is, 2>1>3>3’. Thus, translating the following sentences would involve a verb in the normal grade: ‘You tickled me.’ (2>1) ‘You were kissing him.’ (2>3) ‘I saw my brother.’ (1>3) ‘The cat ate the mouse.’ (3>3’) The normal grade of a verb which is unbound in phase is equivalent to the root. Since some of these roots cosist only of a single light syllable, the vowel will be lengthened to conform with the minimal word requirement: {| cellspacing=5 |- | '''root''' || colspan="2"| '''normal grade (unbound)''' |- | ''tɨpa'' || ''tɨpa'' || ‘speak’ |- | ''talɨka'' || ''talɨka'' || ‘hunt’ |- | ''lua'' || ''lua'' || ‘lie’ |- | ''pai'' || ''pai'' || ‘dig’ |- | ''nɨn'' || ''nɨn'' || ‘live’ |- | ''ti'' || ''tii'' || ‘be small’ |} The bound phase forms are derived from the base by lengthening the final vowel of the base. This is illustrated below. {| cellspacing=5 |- | '''root''' || '''base''' || colspan="2"| '''normal grade (bound)''' |- | ''tɨpa'' || ''tɨ.pa'' || ''tɨpaa'' || ‘speak’ |- | ''talɨka'' || ''lɨ.ka'' || ''talɨkaa'' || ‘hunt’ |- | ''lua'' || ''lu.wa'' || ''luwaa'' || ‘lie’ |- | ''pai'' || ''pa.ya'' || ''payaa'' || ‘dig’ |- | ''nɨn'' || ''nɨ.nɨ'' || ''nɨnɨɨ'' || ‘live’ |- | ''ti'' || ''ti.ti'' || ''titii'' || ‘be small’ |} ===L-Grade=== The l-grade can also be called the inverse grade. A verb in the l-grade indicates that its arguments are in the reverse order of the argument heirarchy; that is, 3’>3>1>2. Some sentences which would be translated by an l-grade verb in Tepa are: ‘I tickled you.’ (1>2) ‘He was kissing you.’ (3>2) ‘My brother saw me.’ (3>1) ‘The mouse was eaten by the cat.’ (3>3’) There is some pragmatic force in the use of the l-grade for third person arguments, which I have indicated by using a passive sentence. It should be stressed, however, that the l-grade is not a passive, and that Tepa does not have a passive. The formation of the l-grade is analogous to the formation of collective plurals for nouns. For unbound phase, an /l/ is inserted before the final syllable of the base. For bound phase, a sequence of /l/ and a copy of the rhyme of the base-initial syllable is inserted before the final syllable of the base; the final vowel is lengthened. {| cellspacing=5 |- | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | /tɨpa/ || ''tɨlpa'' [tɨlba] || ''tɨlɨpaa'' [tɨrɨβaa] || ‘speak’ |- | /talɨka/ || ''talɨlka'' [tarɨlga] || ''talɨlɨkaa'' [tarɨrɨɣaa] || ‘hunt’ |} ===Geminate Grade=== The geminate grade signifies that the arguments of a transitive verb are not distinct from each other. This need not always indicate a reflexive, although the reflexive is the most common interpretation of a verb in the geminate grade. The formal characteristic of the geminate grade is the geminate consonant which occurs medially in the base. After gemination, the bound phase is formed by lengthening the final vowel: {| cellspacing=5 |- | || '''unbound''' || '''bound''' |- | /tɨpa/ || tɨppa [tɨppa] || tɨppaa [tɨppaa] || ‘speak’ |- | /talɨka/ || talɨkka [tarɨkka] || talɨkkaa [tarɨkkaa] || ‘hunt’ |} ==Verbal Number== Verbs with argument prefixes as the only indication of argument structure are also inflected for number in a manner analogous to number marking of nouns. Ambiguity arises in these cases since there is no indication of the number of subject or object. '''puplu''' {| | 0- || puplu |- | 3>3' || pick:PAUC |} ‘They picked it.’ or ‘He picked some.’ '''puluplu''' {| | 0- || puluplu |- | 3>3' || pick:DIST |} ‘They picked it.’ or ‘He picked a lot.’ When overt noun phrases accompany a verb as arguments, the verb is not marked for number. '''pulu huhma nɨmaa''' {| 0- || pulu || huhma || nɨmaa |- | 3>3' || pick || fruit:PAUC || man:B |} ‘The man picked some fruit.’ '''pulu humahma nɨmaa''' {| | 0- || pulu || humahma || nɨmaa |- | 3>3' || pick || fruit:DIST || man:B |} ‘The man picked a lot of fruit.’ ==Index== {{Tepa Index}} Tepa derivation 6096 40898 2008-12-16T23:24:52Z Elzinga 315 /* Less Productive Morphology */ There are several productive word formation processes in Tepa. What they all have in common is that they take an existing base and create a new root. In some cases, the category of the base will change; examples are processes which derive nominal roots from verbal bases. In others, the category will not change, but a new root is formed of the same category, such as process which derives causative, benefactive, or applicative verb roots from existing verbal bases. ==Nominal Derivation (>N)== In this section I will discuss various ways that a nominal root can be derived from an existing base. ===Agent/Patient=== To derive an agentive noun from a verb in Tepa, the infix ''-am-'' is placed immediately before the first vowel of the verbal base. If the base is vowel-initial, ''-am-'' will appear as a prefix: ''tɨpa'' [tɨβa] ‘speak’; ''tamɨpa'' [tamɨβa] ‘speaker’ ''utu'' [uðu] ‘sing’; ''amutu'' [amuðu] ‘singer’. The result is a nominal root, which can be inflected for number and possession as described in [[Tepa nouns]]. To derive a patient noun (a noun whose referent undergoes the action described by the verb) the same infix ''-am-'' is used with the l-grade of the verb: ''tɨlpa'' [tɨlba] ‘speak:L’; ''tamɨlpa'' [tamɨlba] ‘addressee’. ===Instruments=== Infixing ''-un-'' immediately before the first vowel of a verbal base derives a nominal root denoting the instrument with which the action of the verb is carried out. Again, for vowel-initial verbs, the infix will appear as a prefix. Examples are given below. ''tika'' [tiɣa] ‘count’; tunika [tuniɣa] ‘counter, pebble’ ''pai'' [pai] ‘dig’; punaya [punaya] ‘tool for digging, shovel’ ===Abstract Nouns=== Abstract nouns can be formed from Tepa verbs in two ways: 1) zero derivation, and 2) ''-sui'' suffixation. ====Zero Derivation==== This is the most usual method of forming nouns from verbs. The verb base is simply inflected as a noun; stative verbs are nominalized in this way to describe a person or thing which has the property expressed by the verb stem: ''ŋaha'' [ŋaha] ‘be big’; ‘one who is big’ ''sati'' [saži] ‘be full’; ‘one who is full’ ''tɨpa'' [tɨβa] ‘speak’; ‘speech’ ''taleka'' [tarɨɣa] ‘hunt’; ‘activity of hunting’ ====''-sui'' suffixation==== The suffix ''-sui'' is attached to the verb base; this is used mostly to denote abstract properties from stative verbs which can be inflected as nouns. Some examples are given below: ŋaha [ŋaha] ‘be big’; ŋahasui [ŋahasui] ‘largeness’ naa [naa] ‘be good’; naasui [naasui] ‘goodness, virtue’ Nouns formed in this way are always bound in phase. ===Diminutive=== The suffix ''-tti'' is attached to nouns to indicate smallness or affection. The final vowel palatalizes the geminate ''tt'' and is almost always voiceless: ''su'' [suu] ‘dog’; ''sutti'' [suttši̥] ‘little dog’ ''pɨnku'' [pɨŋgu] ‘antelope; ''pɨnkutti'' [pɨŋguttši̥] ‘little antelope’ Words which end in a nasal drop the nasal when ''-tti'' is suffixed: ''pen'' [pɨ̃ɨ̃] ‘child; ''petti'' [pɨttši̥] ‘small child’ Additionally, some words have developed independent meanings through the addition of the diminutive suffix. These include: ''intitti'' [iñǰittši̥] ‘groundhog (''inti'' ‘badger’)’ ''nɨtti'' [nɨttši̥] ‘pupil (''nɨ-'' ‘person’)’ ''putti'' [puttši̥] ‘scrub oak (''pu'' ‘oak’)’ ==Verbal Derivation (>V)== In this section I will discuss various ways that a verb root can be derived from an existing base. ===Causative/Benefactive/Applicative=== The causative/benefactive/applicative construction has the effect of adding an argument to a predicate. For the causative, this means adding another agent; this additional agent is called the “causee” since it is the argument which is compelled or persuaded to carry out the action of the predicate. For the benefactive it means adding an indirect object--someone or something on whose behalf the action is performed. For the applicative, this also means adding an indirect object, usually an instrument by means of which an action is performed. In all three cases, the morphological process is the same; ''ŋa"-'' is prefixed to the verb base. If the verb base begins with a consonant, the consonant is obligatorily geminated (this gemination is reflected in the orthography). This creates a transitive predicate from an intransitive, and a ditransitive predicate from a transitive. When inflecting the derived transitive, the added argument is treated as a direct object and the argument prefixes are used as they would be for an underived transitive or ditransitive: [lɨŋalluβa] {| |- | lɨ- || ŋa"- || lupa |- | 2>1- || CBA- || run |} ‘You made me run.’ [ŋattuβayɨɨtšiwi] {| |- | 0- || ŋa"- || tupa || yɨɨ || tiwi |- | 3>3’- || CBA- || fall || egg || bird |} ‘The bird made the egg fall.’ However, for the ditransitives, not all of the arguments can be encoded by means of argument prefixes; only the agent of the predicate and the (ultimately) affected argument are considered. This means that for a causative construction, the only arguments encoded in the prefix are the causer and the patient; the causee is expressed as an object following the verb. [lɨŋakkawɨsuu] {| |- | lɨ- || ŋa"- || kawɨ || suu |- | 2>1- || CBA- || bite || dog |} ‘You made the dog bite me.’ When the object is a pronoun, it is attached to the verb as a pronominal clitic. Examples of causative/benefactive/applicative are given below: [kuŋakkaɣumayɨɨ] {| |- | ku- || ŋa"- || kaku || =ma || yɨɨ |- | 2>3- || CBA- || break || =1 || egg |} ‘You broke the egg for me.’ [waŋakkuukɨ̃ɨ̃] {| |- | wa- || ŋa"- || kuu || kɨn |- | 1>3- || CBA- || hit || stone |} ‘I hit him with a stone.’ [waŋauŋɨ] {| |- | wa- || ŋa"- || uŋɨ |- | 1>3- || CBA- || be.red |} ‘I turned it red.’ (lit: caused it to be red) ===“Have” and “Become”=== Adding the suffix ''-pa'' to a noun X creates a verb meaning ‘have X’; the resulting verb is intransitive and is inflected as such. Examples include: [waɣɨmba] {| |- | wa- || kɨn || -pa |- | 1- || stone || -HAVE |} ‘I have a stone.’ [tawiðuβa] {| |- | 0- || tawitu || -pa |- | 3- horn || -HAVE |} ‘S/he has a horn.’ Adding the suffix ''-na'' to a noun X creates an intransitive predicate meaning ‘become X’; this prefix can also be attached to stative verb roots. Some examples are: [aŋgina] {| |- | 0- || anki || -na |- | 3- || fish || -BEC |} ‘S/he became a fish.’ [waʔaižina] {| |- | wa- || aiti || -na |- | 1- || mother || -BEC |} ‘I became a mother.’ [uŋɨna] {| |- | 0- || uŋɨ || -na |- | 3- || be.red || -BEC |} ‘It became red.’ In addition to normal inflection, “have” and “become” verbs can also undergo causativization; such a derivation implies an unwillingness on the part of the argument of the original predicate (where this is semantically sensible): [lɨŋattawiðuβa] {| |- | lɨ- || ŋa"- || tawitu || -pa |- | 2>1- || CBA- || horn || -HAVE |} ‘You gave me a horn (but I didn’t want it).’ [waŋaʔaŋginanɨŋaa] {| |- | wa- || ŋa"- || anki || -na || nɨŋaa |- | 1>3- || CBA- || fish || -BEC || woman:B |} ‘I turned the woman into a fish (against her will).’ ==Compounding== ===Verb + Noun Compounds (Incorporation)=== By far the most common type of compounding in Tepa is V+N compounding, also known as incorporation. In Tepa incorporation, the direct object of a verb is attached to the right edge of the verb. This attachment is evidenced by the phonology; lenition will operate on the initial consonant of an incorporated noun, but not on the initial consonant of a noun which simply follows the verb as an object. The incorporated object often has the semantic force of a generic noun, and the valency of the resulting complex verb is reduced by one. This means that a ditransitive verb with an incorporated noun becomes a transitive verb, and that a transitive verb becomes intransitive. Some examples are given below: [wanaɣiðuɣu] {| |- | wa- || naki || + || tuku |- | 1- || eat || + || meat |} ‘I eat meat.’ (= ‘I am a meat-eater.’) [wanaɣituɣu] {| |- | wa- || naki || tuku |- | 1>3- || eat || meat |} ‘I eat (some) meat.’ [lɨwɨwiiŋasɨ] {| |- | lɨ- || wɨwii || + || ŋasɨ |- | 2>1- || smear:B || + || grease |} ‘You smeared me with grease.’ [kuwɨwiimaɣaa~ŋasɨ] {| |- | ku- || wɨwii || =ma || -kan || ŋasɨ |- | 2>3- || smear:B || =1 || -on || grease |} ‘You smeared grease on me.’ Sentences with ''-pa'' ‘have’ and ''-na'' ‘become’ are treated as if the suffix were itself a verb, and the noun to which it is suffixed an incorporated object which leaves behind any modificational material: [tinaβaʔɨhažisuu] {| |- | 0- || tina || -pa || ɨ= || 0- || hati || suu |- | 3- || tooth || -HAVE || SS= || 3- || sharp || dog |} ‘The dog has sharp teeth.’ tina-pa [ɨ=hati _] suu ===Noun + Noun Compounds=== Less common than incorporation is the compounding of two nouns; some examples are given below: [pɨɨβaɣu] {| |- | pɨɨ || + || paku |- | skin || + || tree |} ‘bark’ [hanimasɨi] {| |- | hanima || + || sɨi |- | pueblo || + || bee |} ‘beehive’ [tɨɨβɨñdži] {| |- | tɨɨ || + || pɨnti |- | foot || + || leather |} ‘shoe’ ==Less Productive Morphology== In addition to the productive derivational morphology described above, there are also examples of morphological elements which are not as productive, or which have a more limited range of application. In this section I discuss several affixes and combining forms. ===Various Affixes=== In this section, I discuss several affixes which have a very limited range of application. They can’t really be said to be productive, but they are rather transparent in meaning once they have been isolated. ====''in-'' ‘berry’==== The prefix ''in-'' appears in many words for kinds of berries. In most cases, removing the prefix isolates a root to which the suffix ''-sɨ'' ‘fruit-bearing plant’ can be added to indicate the plant itself. ''intamɨi'' [indamɨi] ‘huckleberry’ (root: ''tamɨi-'') ''intɨipi'' [indɨiβi] ‘chokecherry’ (root: ''tɨipi-'') ''intipɨ'' [indžiβɨ] ‘squawberry’ (root: ''tipɨ'') ''iŋŋɨi'' [iŋŋɨi] ‘currant’ (root: ''ŋɨi'') ====''-ma'' ‘male’ and ''-ŋa'' ‘female’==== There are two gender suffixes, ''-ma'' ‘male’ and ''-ŋa'' ‘female’; they are used to indicate male or female persons. In the case of ‘grizzly bear’, the etymological source is a predicate root with the male suffix; in spite of the suffix, ''nɨima'' can refer to female as well as male grizzly bears. ''nɨima'' [nɨima] ‘grizzly bear (root ''nɨi'' ‘old’)’ ''nɨma'' [nɨma] ‘husband (combining form ''nɨ-'' ‘person’)’ ''tɨma'' [tɨma] ‘cousin--FaSiSo, MoBrSo (combining form ''tɨ-'' ‘cross cousin’)’ ''nɨŋa'' [nɨŋa] ‘wife (combining form ''nɨ-'' ‘person’)’ ''tɨŋa'' [tɨŋa] ‘cousin--FaSiDa, MoBrDa (combining form ''tɨ-'' ‘cross cousin’)’ ====''-ppi'' ‘buzzing animal’==== The suffix ''-ppi'' is a rather unusual suffix. It seems to have the meaning ‘small buzzing animal or insect’, but removing this suffix yields no independent roots, except in the case of ''tiwippi'', ''tippi'' ‘hummingbird’. These words are inflected as CV monosyllabic roots, as if the ''-ppi'' suffix were absent (see the section on the inflection of [[Tepa nouns#Monosyllabic Roots|monosyllabic roots]] for details). ''huppi'' [huppi] ‘gnat’ ''lauppi'' [lauppi] ‘yellowjacket’ ''pippi'' [pippi] ‘fly’ ''ŋɨppi'' [ŋɨppi] ‘mosquito’ ''sappi'' [sappi] ‘cicada’ ''tiwippi'' [tšiwippi], ''tippi'' [tšippi] ‘hummingbird’ (root: ''tiwi'', combining form ''ti-'' ‘bird’) ====''-sɨ'' ‘fruit-bearing plant’==== The suffix ''-sɨ'' is attached to roots to form the name of plants bearing fruit. Most of these roots also take the prefix ''in-'' ‘berry’. Some examples are: ''ŋɨisɨ '' [ŋɨisɨ] ‘currant bush’ ''siunpisɨ'' [šiumbisɨ] ‘serviceberry bush’ ''tamɨisɨ'' [tamɨisɨ] ‘huckleberry bush’ ''tɨipisɨ'' [tɨiβisɨ] ‘chokecherry bush’ ''tipɨse'' [tšiβɨsɨ] ‘squawberry bush’ ====''-ta'' ‘tree’==== The suffix ''-ta'' is found on many words which name kinds of trees. The roots formed by removing ''-ta'' are not usually independent roots; the root for ‘oak’, however, is also found with the diminutive suffix [[#Diminutive|''-tti'']]; the combined form means ‘scrub oak’. ''kɨita'' [kɨiða] ‘locust’ ''kuita'' [kuiða] ‘aspen’ ''kusuta'' [kusuða] ‘pinyon pine’ ''mɨsita'' [mɨšiða] ‘greasewood’ ''puta'' [puða] ‘oak’ ''sɨhɨta'' [sɨhɨða] ‘willow’ ''sɨŋuta'' [sɨŋuða] ‘cedar’ ''uita'' [uiða] ‘fir’ ''upita'' [uβiða] ‘mesquite’ ''wɨsita'' [wɨšiða] ‘cottonwood’ ===Combining Forms=== In this section I describe shortened forms of roots which are frequently used in compounds. I call these ''combining forms'' after similar forms in the Numic languages. ====''nɨ-'' ‘person’==== The combining form ''nɨ-'' refers to persons in the following words: ''nɨma'' [nɨma] ‘husband’ ''nɨqa'' [nɨŋa] ‘wife’ ''nɨtti'' [nɨttši̥] ‘pupil’ It is a common metaphorical extension to refer to the pupil of the eye as a small person; hence the lexicalized meaning of ''nɨ-'' ‘person’ + ''-tti'' ‘diminutive’. I have been unable to locate a Tepa root from which ''nɨ-'' might have been derived. The usual word for ‘person’ is ''tua'', which bears no phonological resemblance to the combining form ''nɨ-''. ====''ti-'' ‘bird’==== The combining form ''ti-'' is rather transparently derived from ''tiwi'' ‘bird’. It is found in the following words: ''tiken'' [tšiɣɨ̃ɨ̃] ‘grouse’ (root: ''kɨn'' ‘rock’) ''tikusu'' [tšiɣusu] ‘pinyon jay’ (root: ''kusu'' ‘pinyon’) ''tilupa'' [tširuβa] ‘roadrunner’ (root: ''lupa'' ‘run’) ''tippi'' [tšippi] ‘hummingbird’ (combining form: ''-ppi'' ‘small buzzing animal or insect’) ''tipukan'' [tšiβuɣãã] ‘sage hen’ (root: ''pukan'' ‘sage’) ''tiutu'' [tšiuðu] ‘meadowlark’ (unknown root: ''utu'') ==Index== {{Tepa Index}} Tepa particles 6097 40885 2008-12-16T21:10:24Z Elzinga 315 In this section, I discuss a heterogeneous collection of grammatical elements which I will call particles. All particles in Tepa are clitics; that is, they have the syntax of full words but the phonology of affixes (I will use the words ''particle'' and ''clitic'' interchangeably in the following description). I distinguish between five kinds of particles: 1) pronouns, 2) postpositions, 3) quantifiers, 4) conjunctions, and 5) modal particles. ==Pronouns== There are three kinds of pronouns in Tepa: 1) personal pronouns, 2) demonstrative pronouns, and 3) interrogative/indefinite pronouns. ===Personal Pronouns=== The personal pronouns of Tepa constitute a remarkably lean system. There are only two persons, first and second, and no distinction in number. ''=ma'' ‘1’ ''=ku'' ‘2’ The personal pronouns are used primarily as oblique objects of ditransitive predicates. When third person referents need to be mentioned, a [[#Demonstrative Pronouns|demonstrative pronoun]] is pressed into service. There is a construction which corresponds in meaning roughly to the colloquial English use of the reflexive as an emphatic pronoun. In Tepa, this is done by affixing one of the argument prefixes to the demonstrative pronoun ''nɨ''. For example, ''wa-nɨ'' means approximately ‘I (am) that (one).’ ===Demonstrative Pronouns=== There are three demonstrative pronouns in Tepa distinguishing between two degrees of proximity: ''=ni'' ‘this’ ''=nu'' ‘that’ ''=nɨ'' generic The pronoun ''=ni'' is used for referents near the speaker, while ''=nu'' is used for referents which are not near the speaker. The pronoun ''=nɨ'' is used when the proximity of the referent is not known, or is not relevant. The demonstrative pronouns are also used anaphorically; that is, to track third person referents in a discourse. ===Interrogative and Indefinite Pronouns=== The set of interrogative and indefinite pronouns is also rather small. Unlike English, one set of pronouns does both jobs in Tepa; their particular interpretation depends on the presence of the interrogative modal particle ''su''. When it is present, the pronoun is understood as an interrogative pronoun, otherwise as an indefinite pronoun. The pronouns are: ''=ttɨ'' who, what; someone, something ''=tti'' where, somewhere ''=tta'' when, sometime ''=ttu'' why These particles contain a geminate [tt]; when they are attached to a word (noun or verb) ending in a nasal, the nasal is “overwritten” by the first half of the geminate and does not surface. When these particles are attached to a word which is bound in phase or to a monosyllabic form, the result is a ...CVVC.CV sequence; this is one of only two violations of the constraint against “superheavy” syllables in the language. Some examples of their use follow. Note also that the position of the pronoun differs with its grammatical function; as a subject, it is attached to the last word in the sentence, and as a direct object it is attached to the right edge of the verb. [surɨšipɨttɨ] {| | su= || 0- || lɨsi || pɨn || =ttɨ |- | ?= || 3>3’- || fear || child || =who |} ‘Who fears the child?’ [surɨšittɨpɨ̃ɨ̃] {| | su= || 0- || lɨsi || =ttɨ || pɨn |- | ?= || 3>3’- || fear || =who || child |} ‘Who does the child fear?’ [naɣiyɨɨttɨ] {| | 0- || naki || yɨɨ || =ttɨ |- | 3>3’- || eat || egg || =someone |} ‘Someone ate the egg.’ [sunaɣiyɨɨttɨ] {| | su= || 0- || naki || yɨɨ || =ttɨ |- | ?= || 3>3’- || eat || egg || =who |} ‘Did someone eat the egg?’ or ‘Who ate the egg?’ This last sentence has two interpretations. The first is simply a yes/no question; while the second is a wh-question, querying a particular grammatical function (in this case, the subject). They are distinguished in Tepa by means of pitch contour; the yes/no question has on the last word a falling tone contour (a sequence of a high tone followed by a low tone) followed by a high tone on the final syllable: ''yɨ́ɨ̀ttɨ́'' The wh-question has falling tone contour without the subsequent high tone on the last syllable: ''yɨ́ɨ̀ttɨ̀'' Very often the final vowel of the wh-question is voiceless, as is the final vowel of the indefinite pronoun. ==Postpositions== Postpositions are attached to the end of nouns. They serve generally to locate objects in space or time, but some have acquired more metaphorical or opaque usages. Some of the most common postpositions are: ''=pu'' in ''=ta'' at ''=ma'' with ''=ka'' on ''=ŋu'' to ''=lɨ'' from, of ''=ŋɨa'' along ''=umɨ'' around ''=ptɨ'' up There are also two locative particles which function much like English “here” and “there”. They are: ''yi'' here ''yu'' there Postpositions can be attached to these locatives to show movement or more precise location: {| | colspan="2"| [yurɨ] || colspan="2"| [yiŋu] |- | yu || =lɨ || yi || =ŋu |- | there || =from || here || =to |- | colspan="2"| ‘from there’ || colspan="2"| ‘to here’ |} ==Quantifiers== To express the kinds of quantification expressed in words like “all”, “a few”, “many”, “some” and “every”, Tepa makes use of its more articulated number system in conjunction with distinctions of phase. Thus, “all” is expressed by a noun phrase which is collective in number and bound in phase: [tšiɣiwii] tikiwii bird:COLL:B ‘all birds’ “a few” is expressed by a noun phrase which is paucal in number and unbound in phase: [tšiðwi] titwi bird:PAUC ‘a few birds’ “many” and “some” are expressed by a noun phrase which is distributive in number and unbound in phase. In addition, an overt quantifying particle is attached to the noun; for “many” the particle is ''=ntɨ'', and for “some” the particle is ''=nka'': [tšiwiðwindɨ] {| | tiwitwi || =ntɨ |- | bird:DIST || =many |} ‘many birds’ [tšiwiðwiŋga] {| | tiwitwi || =nka |- | bird:DIST || =some |} ‘some birds’ Finally, to express “every”, a noun phrase which is distributive in number and bound in phase is used: [tšiwižiwii] tiwitiwii bird:DIST:B ‘every bird’ Note the subtle difference between “all N” and “every N”. For “all”, some predicate is applied to a set of individuals, while for “every” a predicate is applied to individuals as defined as members of a set. In common usage in Tepa these appear to be interchangeable, but they are scrupulously distinguished in formal contexts. ==Conjunctions== A distinction is made in Tepa between coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. ===Coordinating Conjunctions=== The coordinating conjunctions are different from the particles discussed elsewhere in this section. The difference is that of all the particles, only the coordinating conjunctions are non-syllabic. The two coordinating conjunctions in Tepa are: ''=n'' ‘and’ ''=l'' ‘or’ They are attached to every item in a list except the last as a suffix (this is the other potential source of superheavy syllables in Tepa): [tšiɣwilsuɣuraŋgaŋgi] {| | tikwi || =l || suku || =l || ankanki |- | bird:COLL || =or || dog:COLL || =or || fish:COLL |} ‘birds, dogs or fish’ [tɨanhiβiðɨ] {| | tɨa || =n || hipitɨ |- | sun || =and || moon |} ‘the sun and the moon’ (Note that the words for ‘sun’ and ‘moon’ appear to be unbound in phase but are translated with the definite article.) In addition to the conjunctions ''=n'' and ''=l'', there is a proclitic conjunction ''hu='' which appears clause-initially; its function is to link clauses together, and is discussed in the chapter on syntax under [[Tepa syntax#Coordination|Coordination]]. ===Subordinating Conjunctions=== When a predicate is used to modify a noun as an adjective rather than stand alone as the sole sentential predicate, a subordinating conjunction ''ɨ='' is used: [ɨhažitšiɣna] {| | ɨ= || 0- || hati || tikna |- | SS= || 3- || sharp || tooth:COLL |} ‘sharp teeth’ [ɨhažinɨžiɣinaa suu] {| | ɨ= || hati || nɨ- || tikinaa || suu |- | SS= || sharp || 3- || tooth:COLL:B || dog |} ‘the dog’s sharp teeth’ [tšinaβaʔɨhažisuu] {| | tina || -pa || ɨ= || hati || suu |- | tooth || -HAVE || SS= || sharp || dog |} ‘The dog has sharp teeth.’ The subordinating conjunctions are dealt with more fully in the chapter on syntax under [[Tepa syntax#Subordination|Subordination]]. ==Modal Particles== There are five modal particles; they are listed below (indicative mode is not marked overtly): ''ha='' imperative ''su='' interrogative ''pɨ='' irrealis ''mu='' negative ''ti='' optative The imperative particle identifies a direct command. An imperative sentence need not always be directed at a second person; it can have jussive force when a first person agent is expressed. [haɣuðɨɣayiŋu] {| | ha= || ku- || tɨka || yi || =ŋu |- | != || 2- || move || here || =to |} ‘Come here!’ [hawaðɨθkayuŋu] {| | ha= || wa- || tɨtka || yu || =ŋu |- | != || 1- || move:PAUC || there || =to |} ‘Let’s go!’ The interrogative particle identifies the clause as a question, whether a yes/no question or a wh-question. [suwaðɨθkayuŋu] {| | su= || wa- || tɨtka || yu || =ŋu |- | ?= || 1- || move:PAUC || there || =to |} ‘Are we going?’ The irrealis particle identifies a clause which the speaker knows or presumes to be untrue; it most often translates as an “if” clause. [pɨwaðawiðuβa] {| | pɨ= || wa- || tawitu || -pa |- | IR= || 1- || horn || -HAVE |} ‘If I had a horn...’ The negative particle identifies a negative clause. This particle can also negate other parts of speech. [muwaðawiðuβa] {| | mu= || wa- || tawitu || -pa |- | NEG= || 1- || horn || -HAVE |} ‘I don’t have a horn.’ The optative particle identifies a wish on the part of the speaker. [tšiwaðawiðuβa] {| | ti= || wa- || tawitu || -pa |- | OPT= || 1- || horn || -HAVE |} ‘If only I had a horn!’ ==Index== {{Tepa Index}} Tepa syntax 6098 40975 2008-12-18T14:26:18Z Elzinga 315 In this chapter I will discuss three aspects of the syntax of Tepa. The first is the placement of the clitics discussed in [[Tepa particles]], the second is the disposition of phrasal elements (extended words) within the sentence, and the third is the coordination or subordination of clauses in complex sentences. ==Clitic Placement== Clitics in Tepa can appear in one of three positions: 1) at the end of nouns, 2) at the end of verbs, and 3) at the beginning of the first word of a clause. Clitics which appear at the end of verbs belong to the set of pronouns, and indicate an oblique argument of the verb. [waðaldanɨ] {| | wa- || talta || =nɨ |- | 1>3- || give:L || =3 |} ‘She gave it to me.’ [naɣiyɨɨttɨ] {| | 0- || naki || yɨɨ || =ttɨ |- | 3>3’- || eat || egg || =someone |} ‘Someone ate the egg.’ There are several types of clitics which attach to the right edges of nouns. These are quantifiers, postpositions, and pronouns. If all three are present, they attach in the order [NOUN] =DET/Q =POST =PRON. [tšiwiðwindɨma] {| | tiwitwi || =ntɨ || =ma |- | birds:DIST || =some || =with |} ‘with some birds’ [naɣiiyɨyyɨŋgattɨ] {| | 0- || nakii || yɨyyɨ || =nka || =ttɨ |- | 3>3’- || eat:B || eggs:DIST || =many || =someone |} ‘Someone ate a lot of eggs.’ [lɨahaiɣattɨ] {| | 0- || lɨa || hai || =ka || =ttɨ |- | 3- || sit || grass || =on || =someone |} ‘Someone is sitting on the grass.’ Conjunctions and modal particles appear in clause-initial position, regardless of the category of the first word in the clause. Thus it is possible for a noun to have modal clitics attached to it, when that noun is fronted for focus effects (see the section <Simple Sentences>). If both conjunctions and modal particles are present, they appear in the order CONJ= MOD= [WORD]. [wasullɨaβɨwanaɣiiyɨyɨɨtɨɨri] {| | wa- || sullɨ || a= || pɨ= || wa- || nakii || yɨyɨɨ || tɨɨli |- | 3>1- || ask:L || DS= || IRR= || 1>3- || eat:B || eggs:DIST || Teeli |} ‘Teeli asked me if I had eaten the eggs.’ The word together with the clitics which are attached to it form the “extended word”, which is the domain for stress placement and lenition processes. ==Simple Sentences== ===Basic Word Order=== The only obligatory element in a Tepa sentence is the verb and its associated clitic-chain. When other sentence elements are present, they appear in the order V-O-IO/PP-S. [haɣunaɣittɨ] {| | ha= || ku- || naki || =ttɨ |- | != || 2>3- || eat:B || =something |} ‘Eat something!’ [naɣihuɣmatiɣwiŋga] {| | 0- || naki || hukma || tikwi || =nka |- | 3>3- || eat || fruit:COLL || bird:COLL || =some |} ‘Some (kinds of) birds eat fruit.’ [murɨahaiβunɨmaa] {| | mu= || lɨa || hai || =pu || nɨmaa |- | NEG= || sit || grass || =in || man:B |} ‘The man is not sitting in the grass.’ For focus effects, sentence elements (usually noun phrases) can be placed before the verb. When this is done, the clitics which normally attach to the verb attach instead to the sentence initial element. [sužiɣwitarɨɣanɨmaanu] {| | su= || tikwi || 0- || talɨka || nɨmaa || =nu |- | ?= || bird:COLL || 3>3- || hunt || man:B || =that |} ‘Is that man hunting BIRDS?’ [hahaiβukurɨa] {| | ha= || hai || =pu || ku- || lɨa |- | != || grass || =in || 2- || sit |} ‘(Go) sit IN THE GRASS!’ [piðɨɨnɨŋaatɨɨriahumahmaŋgapuru] {| | 0- || pitɨɨ || nɨŋaa || tɨɨli || a= || humahma || =nka || 0- || pulu |- | 3>3’- || see:B || woman:B || Teeli || DS= || fruit:DIST || =some || 3>3’- || pick |} ‘Teeli saw the woman as she was picking SOME FRUIT.’ ===Equational and Existential Sentences=== Equational sentences are sentences in which a noun phrase or postpositional phrase is taken to be a predicate. This syntactically derived predicate is always clause-initial, and takes normal inflections: [paɣuuβu tšiwii] {| | pakuu || =pu || tiwii |- | tree:B || =in || bird |} ‘The bird is in the tree.’ [suɣuβaɣuuβu] {| | su= || ku- || pakuu || =pu |- | ?= || 2- || tree:B || =in |} ‘Are you in the tree?’ Existential sentences are very similar in form to equational sentences. The difference between the two sentence types is the order of the constituents; the postpositional phrase is never sentence initial in an existential sentence. [tšiwipaɣuuvu] {| | tiwi || pakuu || =pu |- | bird || tree:B || =in |} ‘There is a bird in the tree.’ ==Complex Sentences== ===Coordination=== The particle ''hu='' serves to link sentences together, just as English “and”. The resulting paratactic constructions are quite common in Tepa. Noun phrases are often omitted in all but the first clause when their referents are unambiguous; the result is a string of inflected verbs connected by ''hu=''. ===Subordination=== The subordinating conjunctions serve to join embedded clauses to main clauses. In Tepa, subordinate clauses are not divided formally into types such as relative clause, complement clause, sentential subject clause, etc. Only two kinds of embedded clauses are distinguished in the grammar: 1) an embedded clause whose subject is the same as the subject of the main clause (or the head of the relative clause) in which it is embedded; and 2) an embedded clause whose subject is different from the subject of the main clause (or the head of the relative clause) in which it is embedded. This information is contained in the subordinating conjunctions. They are: ''ɨ='' same subject ''a='' different subject Some examples of their use follow: [piðɨɨnɨŋaatɨɨriaβuruhumahmaŋga] {| | 0- || pitɨɨ || nɨŋaa || tɨɨli || a= || 0- || pulu || humahma || =nka |- | 3>3’- || see:B || woman:B || Teeli || DS= || 3>3’- || pick || fruit:DIST || =some |} ‘Teeli saw the woman as she (the woman) was picking some fruit.’ [piðɨɨnɨŋaatɨɨriɨwaβuruhumahmaŋga] {| | 0- || pitɨɨ || nɨŋaa || tɨɨli || ɨ= || wa- || pulu || humahma || =nka |- | 3>3’- || see:B || woman:B || Teeli || SS= || 3>3’- || pick || fruit:DIST || =some |} ‘Teeli saw the woman as she (Teeli) was picking some fruit.’ [piðɨɨʔɨβuruhumahmaŋganɨŋaatɨɨri] {| | 0- || pitɨɨ || ɨ= || 0- || pulu || humahma || =nka || nɨŋaa || tɨɨli |- | 3>3’- || see:B || SS= || 3>3’- || pick || fruit:DIST || =some || woman:B || Teeli |} ‘Teeli saw the woman (who was) picking some fruit.’ ==Index== {{Tepa Index}} Union of Neutral States 6099 40677 2008-12-10T04:09:16Z Christina 18 New page: The '''Union of Neutral States''' was formed in 773 by the last remaining members of the now-extinct [[Global Federation of States]], once it had become clear that there was no longer any ...

Dalien Trelos Gwenero 6107 40838 2008-12-15T22:00:52Z Rivendale 279 [[E'hwelos|'''E'hwelos''' main page]] [[Image:Dalien.jpg|left|180px]]If you're reading this page then you've come from the '''E'hwelos''' main page and (hopefully) read the overview first. In answer to the statement on the link that brought you here, well it's quite simple....'''I'M AN UTO'''! Thats right, I'm a male '''Uta''' actually from '''E'hwelos''' itself. My name is '''Dalien Trelos-Gwenero''', thats me on the left. (All '''Utai''' surnames names are double barrelled-the first of the barrel being the place of birth, the second being the family name. This is very important in names). Don't be too suprised, there are many of us here on Earth. We've been studying your solar system and galaxy for decades! I say decades because we only discovered your dimension in your year of 1930. Currently, there are around 5000 '''Utai''' here on Earth...but we keep a low profile! *Incidentally, that pic was taken on return to '''E'hwelos''' after my first stay on Earth in your year 2001. The reason I appear blotchy is due to the lack of '''Salenien''' gas penetrating my skin (read on and all this will become clear). So now you're wondering, "If the '''Siopicus Dimension''' cannot be seen or felt in my universe...then how come you're here on Earth"? Well, as stated in the overview, '''Utai''' can lower their vibrations which puts them in direct contact with your dimension. It kind of 'phases' us out of our world, and phases us into yours. Ever seen Startrek? Well its similar to the 'Beam me up Scottie' scenario. I know that makes it sound a little cheesy and science fiction, but it's really not as simple as that. It takes us many years of training and conditioning to be able to sustain our lower vibrations enough to remain here for any length of time. And there are other obstacles to overcome. We have a gas in our atmosphere which we call '''Salenian'''. As you now know, its our skin that absorbs oxygen (we call it '''Fegwien''') and not our lungs. Upon contact with the skin of an '''Uta''', the oxygen and salenien particles merge, thus changeing the molecular structure, which then allows it to be absorbed through our skin and into our bloodstream. This is not possible without salenien. We overcome this by undergoing months of injections with a substance we call '''Loigarmin''', which enables our skin to produce a synthetic form of salenien, thus allowing absorbtion of oxygen. However, this causes a patchy skin side effect as you can see, but soon returns to normal after a week or so back on '''E'hwelos'''.

It is based on the sidereal year rather than the tropical year, however, and thus, slowly drifts relative to the standard calendar. == Weeks == As in the solar calendar, a 9-day week is used. Different names are used, however. The days of the week are named after the 9 visible celestial objects #[[Suns of Galhaf|Chihazh]] #[[Tusatrakh]] #[[Ofsandakh]] #[[Moons of Galhaf|Sasash]] #Lhásta #[[Ospendakh]] #[[Zheftakh]] #[[Ozatraftakh]] #Chimíve == Months == {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class=bordertable style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |rowspan=2|'''Month Number''' |colspan=3 align=center|'''Length''' |- |Days |Daymins |Daysecs |- |I |18 |27 |9 |- |II |17 |56 |27 |- |III |18 |0 |5 |- |IV |18 |37 |36 |- |V |19 |43 |50 |- |VI |21 |6 |20 |- |VII |22 |23 |25 |- |VIII |23 |8 |27 |- |IX |23 |2 |53 |- |X |22 |9 |8 |- |XI |20 |48 |44 |- |XII |19 |28 |9 |} The months' lengths are based on the Sun's movement through the ecliptic, a new month beginning on the first day that the sun <i>begins</i> the calendrical day (6 hours after mean midnight) in a given solar period (segment <sup>1</sup>/<sub>12</sub> of Galhaf's orbit). The months are, therefore, variable. == Years == The Astrological Calendar uses the same years as the standard solar calendar. However, whereas the standard solar calendar begins at the point midway between winter solstice and vernal equinox, the astrological calendar begins at the point in the ecliptic that was that midpoint in chiNrasta's time. Since then, the two have drifted out of sync by 42 days, 4 daymins, 45 daysecs, making the astrological new year equivalent to 3/2 or 3/3 in the solar calendar, with the solar new year equivalent to 10/21 or 10/22 in the astrological. Thus, for those 42 or 43 days, the year number differs between the two calendars. == Modern Use == The Astrological Calendar has limited use today. Astrological New Year is a popular festival in the Empire, and is, by definition, 1/1 in the astrological calendar, thus 3/2 or 3/3 in the solar. As the name implies, it is used by astrologers. == See Also == *[[Nrastaist Calendar]] *[[Kasshi Solar Calendar]] *[[Kasshi Astrology]] [[Category:Galhafan Calendars]] [[Category:Kasshi|Calendar, Astrological]] Breathanach 6115 50445 2009-11-12T21:08:02Z Tropylium 756 we'll probly have a Romance artcile of our own eventually '''Breathanach''' is a [[Romance languages|Romance]] conlang focusing on the hypothetical development of the Romance languages invented by Geoff Eddy.

R. R. Tolkien ||1917- |} '''Quenya''' is the most famous of the [[diachronic conlang]]s of [[J. R. R. Tolkien]], the language of the High Elves of Arda. It was the language developed by those non-Telerin [[Elves]] who reached Valinor (the "High Elves") from an earlier language called Common Eldarin, which also evolved from the original Primitive Quendian. Of the Three Houses of the Elves, the Noldor and the Vanyar spoke slightly different, though mutually intelligible, dialects of Quenya (Quenya [also Noldorin Quenya and later when they followed Fëanor in Arda Exilic Quenya] and Vanyarin Quenya [also Quendya], respectively). The language was also adopted by the Valar, who made some new introductions into it from their own original language, though these are more numerous in the Vanyarin dialect than the Noldorin one. This is probably the case because of the enduringly close relationship the Vanyar had with the Valar. Those of the Third House, the Teleri, who reached Aman and founded the city of Alqualondë spoke a different, closely related language, (Amanya) Telerin, although this was by some seen as a dialect of Quenya, which is untrue in a historic perspective but plausible in a linguistic one; the languages do not share a common history, but are very much alike, and later grew very close due to contact. During the Third Age Quenya was no longer a living language in Middle-earth: most Elves spoke [[Sindarin]], and Men mostly spoke Westron. Quenya was mainly used in official names and writings and as a ceremonial language, much as the Latin language was in medieval Europe. For this reason it was sometimes called "an Elven-Latin" by Tolkien. In Tolkien's fictional world, Quenya is usually written in Tengwar, although it was earlier written in Sarati. The language can also be written in other alphabets: modes for Cirth exist. In the real world Tengwar is not uncommon, but it is usually written in the Latin alphabet. ==Meta-history== Tolkien, an enthusiastic philologist, wanted to create as beautiful a language as possible. This urge, in fact, was the motivation for his creation of Middle-earth. While the language developed, he needed speakers, history for the speakers and all real dynamics, like war and migration, to be able to make the artificial language complete, and of these thoughts Middle-earth was initiated. Tolkien was keen on legends and sagas, and studied foreign languages to be able to read them in their native language. Amongst others, he studied some Finnish to be able to read Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. Outside the fiction, the grammar of Quenya was influenced by Finnish, which is an agglutinative language; grammatical inspiration also came from Latin and Greek. The phonology was also based on Finnish and, to a lesser extent, Latin, Italian and Spanish. Some interesting phonological rules are that no consonant cluster can begin or end a syllable (with one exception, the dual dative ending '''-nt'''); voiced stops must be preceded by sonorants; and a word may not end in a non-coronal consonant. The Finnish influence also extends to vocabulary; some words, such as '''tule''' "come" and '''anna''' "give", have a Finnish origin. Latin influence is also evident in certain words (e.g. '''aure''', "dawn"), and Germanic influence in others (e.g., '''Arda''', the Quenya name for the world). Standard (Noldorin or Exilic) Quenya appears to be the most influenced by Finnish phonology, as it has the most restrictive rules regarding consonant clusters. The influence of Italian, which Tolkien also loved, appears somewhat stronger in the related language Telerin, and the Vanyarin dialect of Quenya, which retained certain features such as the retention of /d/ and /z/ in places where they were lost in standard Quenya. Examples of Vanyarin Quenya include the title of the poem Aldudenie and words like '''ezello''' "green" (borrowed from Valarin), as well as the name of language itself, '''Quendya'''. The most striking feature of Quenya is that it is a highly agglutinative language, meaning that multiple affixes are often added to words to express grammatical functions. It is possible for one Quenya word to have the same meaning as an entire English sentence. For example, one can say "I have found it" in Quenya in a single word, '''utúvienyes''' (= '''utúvie-''' "have found" + '''-nye''' "I" + '''-s''' "it"). The journals ''Vinyar Tengwar'' and ''Parma Eldalamberon'' are devoted to editing and publishing Tolkien's linguistic papers. Quenya is one of many constructed languages introduced over the years by science fiction and fantasy writers, some others being Klingon, Newspeak, Nadsat, the Ascian language and Lapine. In Tolkien's early writings (see: The History of Middle-earth), this language was called '''Qenya''' (although pronounced the same as Quenya). It underwent countless revisions in both grammar and vocabulary before it reached the form found in ''The Lord of the Rings'' and again went through changes before the completion of ''The Silmarillion''. The term ''Qenya'' is now used to distinguish between old Qenya and the new Quenya. However, the fluid nature of Quenya (or Qenya, for that matter) makes such a distinction a highly disputed one. Quenya used by fans for post-Tolkien composition of poems and texts, phrases and names, is usually nicknamed '''neo-Quenya''', or '''Quenya Vinyakarmë''' (Q. for "neologism") by scholars. Since Tolkien's own ideas were rather fluid, any attempt to actually use the language must involve a number of "editing decisions" by the post-Tolkien author. See Neo-Eldarin. In 2001, the first instalment of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy was released in theaters. The resultant increased popularity of Quenya led to an Onion article, "Don't Come Crying to Me when You Need Someone who Speaks Elvish". ==History (fictional)== As told in ''The Silmarillion'' (chapter 3), the Elves devised the language at Cuiviénen, before they encountered the Vala Oromë: ''they began to make speech and give names to all things that they perceived. Themselves they named the Quendi, signifying those that speak with voices; for as yet they had met no other living things that spoke or sang.'' Since the stars were the first thing seen by the Elves as they awoke, the word '''el''' "star" was the first invented, originally an exclamation of adoration, and Oromë named the elves '''Eldar''' "people of the stars" in their own language. Similarly, according to the ''Cuivienyarna'', ''Imin, Tata and Enel awoke before their spouses, and the first thing that they saw was the stars, for they woke in the early twilight before dawn. And the next thing they saw was their destined spouses lying asleep on the green sward beside them. Then they were so enamoured of their beauty that their desire for speech was immediately quickened and they began to ‘think of words' to speak and sing in.'' (HoME 11, p. 421) Over time, however, the Eldar changed the language, adding to it words of their liking and softening it from its origins in Valarin speech. The Valar adopted this language in order to converse with the Eldar in Valinor. The Noldor who fled to Middle-earth following the Darkening of Valinor spoke Quenya among themselves. However, when Elu Thingol of Doriath, who was the king of the Sindar (Elves of the Telerin line who remained in Beleriand instead of journeying to Valinor) learned about their slaying of the Teleri, he forbade the use of Quenya in his realm. The Sindar, however, had been slow to learn Quenya, while the Noldor at this time had fully mastered Sindarin. (The Silmarillion, chapter 15). The Quenya used in Middle-earth of the Third Age (the time of the setting of The Lord of the Rings) had come to be a scholarly pursuit—something akin to Latin in our time (indeed, Tolkien occasionally refers to Quenya as "Elven-Latin"). Quenya was used as a formal language and for writing; Sindarin was the vernacular of all Elves. However, the Noldor still remembered Quenya and valued it highly, which we can see in the way they treat Frodo's greeting '''elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo''' ("A star shines on the hour of our meeting"). Galadriel is perhaps the only major Elf character in Middle-earth during the events of The Lord of the Rings who learned Quenya as a cradle-tongue: she was born in Valinor, during the days of the Two Trees; she was also most likely the most powerful elf in Middle-earth at the time, as well as the oldest save Círdan. Noldorin (Exilic) Quenya differed somewhat from Valinórean Quenya, because the language continued to evolve after exile and underwent some regularisation as it became a language of lore. There were also a few changes in pronunciation. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== All consonants are written according to their values in IPA, unless otherwise noted. {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan=2 rowspan=2|&nbsp; ! rowspan=2|[[bilabial consonant|Labial]] ! colspan=2|[[alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] ! rowspan=2|[[palatal consonant|Palatal]] ! colspan=2|[[velar consonant|Velar]] ! rowspan=2|[[glottal consonant|Glottal]] |- !<small>plain</small> !<small>[[Labialization|lab.]]</small> !<small>plain</small> !<small>[[Labialization|lab.]]</small> |- ! colspan=2|[[Nasal]]s | align=center | {{IPA|m}} | align=center | {{IPA|n}} | align=center | {{IPA|nʷ}}<br/><nw> | align=center | {{IPA|ɲ}}<br/><ny> | align=center | {{IPA|ŋ}}<br/><ng>, <ñ> | align=center | {{IPA|ŋʷ}}<br/><ngw>, <ñw> | &nbsp; |- ! colspan=2|[[Plosive]]s | align=center | {{IPA|p&nbsp;&nbsp;b}} | align=center | {{IPA|t&nbsp;&nbsp;d}} | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|c}}<br/><ty> | align=center | {{IPA|k}} {{IPA|ɡ}}<br/><c> <g> | align=center | {{IPA|kʷ}}<br/><qu> | &nbsp; |- align=center ! colspan=2|[[Fricative]]s | {{IPA|f&nbsp;&nbsp;v}}<small><sup>1</sup></small> | {{IPA|s}} | &nbsp; | {{IPA|ç}}<br/><h>, <hy> | {{IPA|x}}<br/><h> | &nbsp; | {{IPA|h}} |- ! colspan=2|[[Trill]] | &nbsp; | align=center | {{IPA|r}} | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align=center ! rowspan=2 |[[Approximant]]s !<small>[[lateral approximant|lateral]]</small> | &nbsp; | {{IPA|l}} | &nbsp; | {{IPA|ʎ}}<br/><ly> | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; |- align=center !<small>central</small> | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | &nbsp; | {{IPA|j}}<br/><y> | &nbsp; | {{IPA|ʍ}}&nbsp;&nbsp;{{IPA|w}}<br/><hw> &nbsp; | &nbsp; |} # written <f> when final or before {{IPA|/n/}}. {{IPA|/f/}} is voiced to {{IPA|[v]}} when final or before {{IPA|/n/}}. {{IPA|/h/}} was originally {{IPA|[x]}} in all positions, but later debuccalized to {{IPA|[h]}} when in initial position.

R. R. Tolkien]]||1917- |} '''Sindarin''' is a [[diachronic conlang|diachronic]] [[naturalistic artlang]] by [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]. The name "Sindarin" is Quenya; the native name is '''Edhellen'''. In Tolkien's mythos, it was the Elvish language most commonly spoken in Middle-earth in the Third Age. It was the language of the Sindar, those Teleri which had been left behind on the Great Journey of the Elves. It was derived from an earlier language called Common Telerin. Although the Telerin spoken in Aman remained relatively close to [[Quenya]], Sindarin diverged significantly, so that it was now about as far from Quenya as [[Brithenig]] is from Italian. When the Noldor returned to Middle-earth, they adopted the Sindarin language, although they believed their native Quenya more beautiful. Sindarin shared common roots with Quenya, and the two languages had many similar words. Sindarin was said to be more changeful than the older tongue, however, and there were a number of regional 'dialects' of the tongue. The Sindarin spoken in Doriath, known as the Doriathrin dialect, was said to be the highest and most noble form of the language. Before the downfall, most of the Men of Númenor also spoke the language. Knowledge of it was kept in the Númenórean exile realm of Gondor, especially amongst the learned. Sindarin is the language referred to as ''the Elven-tongue'' in ''The Lord of the Rings''. Tolkien originally imagined that the language which would become Sindarin was spoken by the Noldor (second clan of Elves). However, Tolkien later decided that it was the language of the Sindar. For this reason it is called '''Noldorin''' in the older material, such as the ''Etymologies''. When Noldorin became Sindarin, it also adopted some features of ''Ilkorin'', originally a language of a different branch of the Quendian family. Tolkien based the sound and some of the grammar of his Noldorin/Sindarin on Welsh, and Sindarin displays some of the consonant mutations that characterize the Celtic languages. The language was also influenced by Old English and Old Norse. Within the fiction Sindarin was written in the Cirth alphabet prior to the return of the Noldor to Middle-earth, but afterwards it was usually written in Tengwar. In the real world the language is usually written in the Latin alphabet, representing a transcription from the "original Tengwar" or "original Cirth". Some Tolkien enthusiasts write in Cirth or Tengwar, using specialized fonts or the Unicode proposal in the ConScript Unicode Registry, but most neo-Sindarin samples are written in the Latin alphabet. ==External links== * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindarin Sindarin @ Wikipedia] * [http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/sindarin.htm Sindarin @ Ardalambion] {{wikipedia}} [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Middle-earth]] Diachronic conlang 6121 48686 2009-08-29T08:27:20Z Melroch 31 A '''diachronic conlang''' is a conlang (usually a [[fictional language]]) which is derived from another language ([[natlang]] or conlang) by simulating [[wp:sound change|sound change]]s and other kinds of [[wp:language change|language change]].

Years could have 236, 237, 254, or 255 days. This calendar is still used for religious purposes. The year begins around winter solstice (generally, the new moon closest to the winter solstice) === Calendar Cycle === The calendar used a 65-year Cycle, divided into five 13-year Subcycles. === Month Lengths === Most months were 18 days. The 1st and 8th months were 19 days. In addition, the last month of the year (whether that's the 13th or the 14th) was 19 days in the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th years of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Subcycles of each 65-year Cycle, and the 4th, 8th, and 12th years of the 2nd and 4th Subcycles. === Intercalation === Most years contained 13 months. In the first 4 Subcycles of each Cycle, the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th years had a 14th month, while in the last Subcycle, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th years had the 14th month. === Statistics === A Cycle contained 28 years of 236 days (years of 13 months, 2 long), 6 years of 237 days (13 months, 3 long), 19 years of 254 days (14 months, 2 long), and 12 years of 255 days, for a grand total of 876 months, with 15,916 days. === Weeks === In addition to the months and years, there was a 6-day week, about {{frac|1|3}} of a month. The number of days in a Cycle is not a multiple of 6. It takes 3 Cycles for the weekdays to repeat, making a Grand Cycle of 195 years. === Accuracy === 65 winter solstice tropical years contain 15,915.9349 days, while 876 lunations contain 15,916.0259 days. The months drift relative to the moon only a single day in about 2,500 years, while the months drift relative to the seasons by an average of one day in just under 1,000 years == Solar == The [[Blafu]] solar calendar is an unusual one. It consists of 8 "half-seasons" of 30 days each, each further divided into five 6-day weeks with, in most years, an extra week at the end, not part of any half-season. This extra week is dropped in years that end in 01, 06, 11, 16, 22, 27, 32, 37, 43, 48, 53, 58, 64, 69, 74, 79, 85, 90, or 95 (in the Blafu Era). It also begins around the winter solstice.

The elementals are the spirits that exist in the inanimate forms of nature, ''e.g.'', rocks, bodies of water, trees, ''etc.'' One of the ongoing tasks of the Ethrans is to protect the world from the constant incursions of the sundered ethrans who want to rule the world under the queenship of Tselĭus. A sundered mage, archon, adept or guardian is known as a <font color=blue>lêmus</font>. A sundered elemental is known as a <font color=blue>sźâȝus</font>. *The Ethran government is a non-elective oligarchy. In the beginning, when created, each Ethran was given his or her assigned task. The seven first-created, the archimages, were appointed, among their other duties, to govern the other Ethrans. In the beginning they comprised the Council of Seven who made decisions affecting the whole body of Ethrans. With the dismissal of the archimage Tselĭus after the Great Sundering, the Council was reduced by one member, but the name "Council of Seven" was retained. After the Great Sundering, the Council of Seven established six citadels (<font color=blue>ðunôes</font>) throughout the known world. Each of the six archimages dwells in one of them, with the remaining Ethrans dwelling with them or coming and going as needed. The six archimages meet at the prime citadel from time to time to discuss the current state of affairs of the Ethrans and of the other five Loquent Peoples. *The Six Citadels: **Arkanus, the archimage guardian of the Children of Air governs Chief Citadel <font color=blue>ɱøøſðûnos</font> ([[wikipedia:Mount Elbrus|Mount Elbrus]], 5642m). **Ardarus, the archimage guardian of the Children of Fire governs Center Citadel <font color=blue>béðrëðûnos</font> ([[wikipedia:Mont Blanc|Mont Blanc]] 4808m). **Harudhus, the archimage guardian of the Children of Water governs West Citadel <font color=blue>ɱeſðûnos</font> ([[wikipedia:Mulhacen|Mulhacén]] 3479m). **Forlalxus, the archimage guardian of the Children of Earth governs Sea Citadel <font color=blue>moorðûnos</font> ([[wikipedia:Mount Olympus|Mount Olympus]] 2919m). **Maxtyelus, the archimage guardian of the Children of Wood governs South Citadel <font color=blue>ſūoolðûnos</font> ([[wikipedia:Corno Grande|Corno Grande]] 2912m). **Rampelus, the archimage guardian of the Children of Stone governs North Citadel <font color=blue>ćóóɱrëðûnos</font> ([[wikipedia:Galdhopiggen|Galdhøpiggen]] 2372m). *Harudhus and Forlalxus are female, the others are male. ===The Pyrans=== *The Pyrans are farmers and pastoralists. The Pyrans live in small villages (<font color=blue>dâbos</font>). Each dâbos is independent of the others, united only by cultural ties. The Pyrans were created to dwell on the river terraces. The men pasture their flocks of goats along the great rivers of the steppes. The women plant their crops in gardens near their villages. These established territories consist of summer and winter feeding grounds and access to water. Because the men are so often away with the flocks, the Pyrans adopted a matriarchal society. All possessions are inherited matrilineally, except for the flocks, which are inherited patrilineally. There is a Pyran city (<font color=blue>rîȝos</font>) located in the north which serves as an economic and political capital. *The Pyran government is a non-elective oligarchy. Each dabos consists of an extended family ruled by the matriarch (<font color=blue>davnîîȝus</font>) who was appointed to the position by her mother. Thus the position need not go to the eldest daughter. Decisions for the dabos are made in a democratic process by the mothers of the dabos presided over by the davniijus. They are permitted to make decisions about every aspect of dabos life, except that of the care and feeding of the flocks. Every father in the dabos takes care of the dabos' flock with the assistance of any unmarried sons and daughters. *Marriage is exogamous and patrilocal. The bride goes to the husband's dabos with her dowry of however many does were agreed upon. This prevents inbreeding in both the human and the caprid population. Two men from a third dabos go to the bride's dabos to select the does and arrange for their transfer. Once at her new home, the bride becomes a daughter of the matriarch with all the rights and privileges that that entails. The dowry is seen as payment for the right to exercise these rights and privileges. *Each family in the dabos has its own dwelling known as a guulĭos. These dwellings are made of stone with thatched roofs. *Each dabos has a distinctive name. A child is named after his mother's lineage and mother's dabos, ''e.g.'', “of the bear dabos, child of (<font color=blue>źóus</font>) Ruth, Jane.” The matronymic, is given first, then the given name. It is possible for a Pyran (or any of the other Loquent Peoples) to receive an epithet for a great deed done, ''e.g.'', John the Dragon Killer, but this epithet is not passed on to any children. *Individual <font color=blue>dabôes</font> maintain contact with each other at the annual fairs (<font color=blue>kŭérïdâros</font>). ===The Hydorans=== *The Hydorans were created for riparian life. They are basically a hunter/gatherer society living on the banks of rivers, the shores of lakes, and marshes. It would be more accurate to say fisher/gatherer. All possessions are inherited matrilineally. *Each family possesses several unicorns, used both as steeds and as pack animals, and their care and feeding are taken into account in determing when it is time to pack up and move on. *The Hydoran government is an elective hierocracy. Each village, known as a <font color=blue>nââdos</font>, is governed by a priestess (<font color=blue>tovêrus</font>). There is a high priestess (<font color=blue>ɱøøſtovêrus</font>) chosen from the other priestesses who governs the whole People. When there is a vacancy, there is a meeting (<font color=blue>nááðmeðćântĭos</font>) of all the priestesses who will find a new priestess from the general female population or elect from their own number a new high priestess. *Marriage is exogamous and matrilocal. The husband goes to the bride's family without a dowry. He himself provides the dowry by his own ability to contribute to the family group. *The dwellings are simple thatch huts made from cattail reeds, easily left behind, easily built again. They are built on platforms over the water. There is a hut for each mother and father and their unwed daughters and infant sons. Boys who have reached puberty share a hut. *The family groups do not have distinctive names. A child is named after his mother's lineage, “child of (źoon) Ruth, Jane.” ===The Humans=== *The Humans were created to dwell in the grasslands. They are a herding people whose men follow their herds of horses across the steppes. Each encampment (<font color=blue>ćîmos</font>) enjoys an established territory which consists of summer and winter feeding grounds and access to water. Because the men are so often away with the flocks the Humans adopted a matriarchal society. All possessions are inherited matrilineally, except for the herds, which are inherited patrilineally. *Each ćimos consists of an extended family ruled by the matriarch (<font color=blue>ćimnîîȝus</font>) who was appointed to the position by her mother. Thus the position need not go to the eldest daughter. Decisions for the ćimos are made in a democratic process by the mothers of the ćimos presided over by the matriarch. They are permitted to make decisions about every aspect of cimos life, except that of the care and feeding of the herds. Every father in the ćimos takes care of the ćimos' herd with the assistance of any unmarried sons and daughters. When a ćîmos becomes too large, one of the sons will move his family to another location and begin a new ćîmos. *Marriage is exogamous and patrilocal. The bride goes to the husband's ćimos with her dowry of however many mares were agreed upon. This prevents inbreeding in both the human and the equid population. Two men from a third ćimos go to the bride's ćimos to select the mares and arrange for their transfer. Once at her new home, the bride becomes a daughter of the matriarch with all the rights and privileges that that entails. The dowry is seen as payment for the right to exercise these rights and privileges. *Each nuclear family in the ćimos has its own dwelling. The Humans live in partially underground dwellings. The dwelling (<font color=blue>argêlĭos</font>) consists of a large pit with sod walls and a roof of timber covered with horsehide. While out on the steppes with the horses, the men use horsehide shelters known as <font color=blue>ćôqmos</font>. *Each ćimos has a distinctive name. A child is named after his mother's lineage and mother's ćimos, ''e.g.'', “of the bear ćimos, child of Ruth, Jane.” In this case the matronymic is given first, then the given name. It is possible for a Human (or any of the other Loquent Peoples) to receive an epithet for a great deed done, ''e.g.'', John the Dragon Killer, but this epithet is not passed on to any children. ===The Xylans=== *The Xylans were created to live in the forests, where most of them still live, although some live in other isolated ecosystems as well. They lead solitary lives and there is nothing resembling a society in the life of the Xylans. Each individual fends for himself. The Xylans are capable, however, of telepathy with each other and respond to each other as needed. They were created one by one and the eldest functions as a chief of sorts. If he should die, the position passes to the next eldest. Because they were created individually and not through procreation, there is a limited number of Xylans. Tradition has it that, when the last Xylan dies, the world will come to an end. *The Xylans bear a single name that was decided on by all the Xylans in the beginning. ===The Lithans=== *The Lithans are the most settled of the Loquent Peoples. They were created for the mountains where they work their mines. Most of their villages (<font color=blue>pĭalagos</font>) are in calderas, natural or lithanmade, where they have easy access from the inside of the mountain to their mines. The inside walls of the calderas are sheer vertical faces, virtually impossible to descend. Access to the caldera is by means of a tunnel through the mountain, wide enough to accommodate a donkey cart. Both the exterior and interior ends of the tunnel are protected by iron gates. There are always at least two tunnels, each on opposite sides of the caldera. *The Lithan government is a non-elective oligarchy. A village council (<font color=blue>pĭálaϙmeðćântĭus</font>) consisting of the heads of the households in the pĭalâgos determines policy for the pĭalâgos. The heads of households may be either male or female, although a female is eligible only if she is widowed. A headman (<font color=blue>pĭálaqnîîȝus</font>) is elected from their number annually to preside at meetings. He is elected for a set period of time by male suffrage. In concert with a council of elected officials, he makes decisions concerning the life of the pĭalagos. *Their villages are scattered along the Caucasus and Ural ranges. Each village is independent of the others, united only by cultural ties. The Lithans build houses of stone (<font color=blue>veðnos</font>). The name comes from the verb <font color=blue>veda</font>, to dig, a remembrance of the days when they lived in caves. Some have metal roofs, some stone, some thatch. The house may be the dwelling of a nuclear family or of an extended family. All possessions are inherited patrilineally. *The mines are communal property. Each mining Lithan pays a percentage of what he mines to the pĭalagos. Part of this tax is used to help those families whose fathers can no longer work in the mines or in the smithies. In the center of each pĭalagos is the council house. It is also used for public gatherings of a social nature. The entrance ways and ceilings of the council house are always built high enough to accommodate a Xylan should one come a-calling. *Some families choose to become traders. This practice sprang from the need to carry the wealth that a particular mountain produced to a pĭalagos whose mountain didn't produce that item. Donkey cart caravans would descend from the mountain to more level ground and travel to the road that wound back up another mountain. Gradually the other Loquent Peoples saw the advantage to trading what they produced for what others produced. Thus the Lithan caravans began to traverse the Urheimat with their wares and the wares of others. There is always an armed guard with each caravan. One does not want to tangle with a fully armed Lithan! A percentage of the trading profits belongs to the pĭalagos. *Marriage is exogamous outside the pĭalagos and patrilocal. The bride brings to the husband's home her dowry which consists mainly of household items. However, she does not come to her new home until a house has been constructed for her. This is built by her husband and any crew he can get together from family and friends. Her husband and his family go to meet her at the outer entrance to the tunnel and lead her down to the pĭalagos, astride the donkey given to her by her parents. This donkey will remain her personal property so that she can take her part in the life of the pĭalagos. *A child is named after his father: “child of Robert, Sam.” File:Bitmap 4 Seuna.png 6129 41209 2008-12-25T10:30:43Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 4 Seuna.PNG 6130 41211 2008-12-25T10:36:51Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 5 Seuna.PNG 6131 41217 2008-12-26T07:27:55Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 6 Seuna.PNG 6132 41220 2008-12-26T09:12:13Z Staigard 752 Canadu 6133 41273 2008-12-28T00:45:07Z Twenex 727 ===Phonotactics=== Canadu syllables have the structure CV, that is, a consonant followed by a vowel.

This distinction can be made by case marking, verb agreement or word order. ==Marking core arguments== Transitive verbs have two core arguments, the ''agent'' (A) and the ''patient'' (P). For example, in the following sentence: (1) ''The child throws the ball.'' ''the child'' is the A and ''the ball'' is the P. Intransitive verbs have one core argument, the ''subject'' (S). In the sentence (2) ''The child laughs.'' ''the child'' is the S. Most languages have only two kinds of marking for the three types of core arguments S, A and P, using either one marking for S and A and another for P, or one marking for S and P and another for A. The different '''morphosyntactic alignments''' are: 1. '''Accusative alignment''' (also '''nominative-accusative'''): In a language with accusative alignment, one marking, the ''nominative'', is used for S and A ('subject') and another, the ''accusative'', for P ('object'): S=A. Most European languages have accusative alignment. Many accusative languages can detransitive transitive verbs by raising the P to S and demoting or omitting the A. This is called the ''passive voice''. 2. '''Ergative alignment''' (also '''ergative-absolutive'''): In a language with ergative alignment, one marking, the ''absolutive'', is used for S and P and another, the ''ergative'', for A: S=P. Examples include Basque and most Caucasian languages. Many ergative languages can detransitivize transitive verbs by raising the A to S and demoting or omitting the P. This is called the ''antipassive voice''. Very few languages are completely ergative in their alignment; typically there is some subset of the grammar that obeys accusative alignment. ([[Linguistic universal]] [http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/archive/nav/browse.php?number=3 #3]) 3. '''Active alignment''': In a language with active alignment, the category of S is split, i.e. some intransitive subjects are marked like an A and others like a P. The criterion for this split is a semantic one, the ''agenthood'' of a subject. Consider the following three sentences: (1) ''The child throws the ball.'' (2) ''The child laughs.'' (3) ''The ball lies in the sand.'' The sentences (2) and (3) are intransitive, but in an active languages, their subjects receive different markings. In (2), the subject is an agent (S<sub>a</sub>) and receives the same marking as the A in (1) (S<sub>a</sub>=A). In (3), the subject is a patient (S<sub>p</sub>) and receives the same marking as the P in (1) (S<sub>p</sub>=P). Active languages are less common than accusative or ergative languages; examples are Georgian and Lakhota. There are two subtypes of active alignment. In '''split-S''' languages, there are two distinct classes of intranstitive verbs, one marking their S as A, and one marking their S as P. In '''fluid-S''' languages, the two classes overlap to some degree, such that some intransitive verbs can use either marking depending on the semantics. Consider the following sentences: (4) ''My brother arrived yesterday.'' (5) ''Your letter arrived yesterday.'' In (4), a fluid-S language would use A marking for ''my brother'', as the brother is (most likely) an actively travelling person and thus an agent. In (5), a fluid-S language would use P marking for ''your letter'', as the letter is an inanimate object that is being carried by some other (unmentioned) agent. 4. '''Hierarchical alignment''' (also known as '''direct-inverse''' alignment) occurs, for instance, in the Algonquian languages of North America. In languages with hierarchical alignment, arguments are ordered in an ''animacy hierarchy'' with 1st or 2nd person pronouns at the top and inanimate nouns at the bottom. A marking on the verb indicates whether the more animate NP is the A (''direct'' voice) or the P (''inverse'' voice). For instance, in the sentences (6) ''The girl hit the ball.'' (7) ''The ball hit the girl.'' sentence (6) would display direct marking and sentence (7) inverse marking. If both NPs have the same rank on the animacy hierarchy, one of them is marked as ''obviative'', giving it a lower animacy rank. 5. '''Austronesian alignment''' (also known as a '''trigger system''') is a particular system of alignment found in many languages of the Austronesian family. In these languages, there is one unmarked case which can function as either the nominative (S=A) or the absolutive (S=P), and two further cases, the ergative and the accusative. The function of the unmarked case is marked by verbal morphology (''agent trigger'': accusative alignment; ''patient trigger'': ergative alignment). 6. '''Tripartite alignment''' is rare; it uses three different markings for S, A and P. 7. '''Neutral alignment''' (also occasionally nicknamed '''clairvoyant''' among conlangers) means that no difference is made between S, A and P. This is restricted to certain subsystems of the language (case marking, verb agreement ''or'' word order) as all languages need a way to tell A and P apart. This is not to be confused with the lack of ''overt'' case-marking; it is very typical for core arguments to be marked only by their position in the sentence (see [[word order]]). 8. An unusual and rare alignment is '''transitive alignment''' (in conlanger circles also called '''"monster raving loony"''') uses one marking on A and P, and another on S. Like neutral alignment, it is limited to some subsystems as the language needs to tell A and P apart. 9. [[Logical language]]s do not fit easily into any of the alignment types listed above and are perhaps best considered their own class of morphosyntactic alignment. ==Dative and dechticaetiative languages== Another distinction is between '''dative languages''' and '''dechticaetiative languages'''. These languages differ in the treatment of indirect object. Consider the sentence: (8) ''The boy gives the flower to the girl.'' In a dative language, the direct object (''the flower'') receives the same marking as the P in a monotransitive sentence (e.g., sentence (1) above), while the indirect object (''the girl'') receives a different marking, the ''dative case''. In a dechticaetiative language, the indirect object receives the same marking as the P in a monotransitive sentence, and the direct object receives a different marking. Dative languages are more common than dechticaetiative languages. ==Split and mixed alignments== A language may show more than one morphosyntactic alignment type. In some languages, a ''split alignment'' occurs, depending on the sentence type. In many Indo-Aryan languages, for instance, the alignment is accusative in the present tense and ergative in the past tense. Georgian displays accusative alignment in the imperfective aspect and active alignment in the perfective aspect. Hittite inflects animate nouns accusatively but inanimate nouns ergatively. Generally, accusative alignment is more likely to show up in present tense, imperfective aspect and animate nouns, and ergative alignment conversely in past tense, perfective aspect and inanimate nouns. Also, the various subsystems of a language (word order, case marking, verb conjugation) may show different alignments. ==External links== * [[Wikipedia:Morphosyntactic alignment]] * [http://wals.info/feature/98 Alignment of Case Marking of Full Noun Phrases] in the ''World Atlas of Language Structures'' [[Category:Linguistics]] [[Category:Linguistic typology]] Basic word order 6154 49288 2009-09-21T19:30:38Z WeepingElf 43 /* Basic word order and noun phrase order */ '''Basic word order''' refers to the sequence in which the subject (S), the object (O) and the verb (V) of a transitive sentence occur in speech. There are six possible orders: SOV, SVO, VSO, VOS, OVS and OSV. Of these, SOV and SVO are the most common, accounting together for about 80% of the world's languages. Most of the remaining languages have VSO word order, while VOS, OVS and OSV are rare. Some languages are said to have ''free'' word order, i.e. all orders may occur. An example is Latin, in which the following six sentences are all equally correct (and mean the same, namely 'The dog bit the man'): (1a) '''Canis hominem momordit.'''<br> (1b) '''Canis momordit hominem.'''<br> (1c) '''Momordit canis hominem.'''<br> (1d) '''Momordit hominem canis.'''<br> (1e) '''Hominem momordit canis.'''<br> (1f) '''Hominem canis momordit.'''<br> In Latin (and other free word order languages), any of these orders can be chosen for pragmatic (e.g., topicalization) or stylistic reasons (e.g., to make a verse scan and rhyme properly). However, there is usually ''one'' word order that is pragmatically neutral and found in most sentences of prose. (In Classical Latin, this order is SOV (example 1a), but it shifted to SVO in Vulgar Latin.) ==Basic word order and noun phrase order== Noun phrases can be '''head-initial''' (the noun comes before its modifiers), '''head-final''' (the noun comes after its modifiers) or mixed (some modifiers precede the noun, others follow). Most SOV languages have head-final NPs, most VSO languages have head-initial NPs, while in SVO languages, both types, as well as mixed order, may occur, depending on the language. [[Category:Linguistic typology]] Morphological type 6155 45387 2009-05-14T17:28:00Z WeepingElf 43 The '''morphological type''' of a language refers to the way morphemes combine into words. 1. '''Isolating''' (or '''analytic''') languages have words that consist of one morpheme each. There probably is no ideal isolating language, but Chinese and Vietnamese come close. English is sometimes cited as an isolating language as well, even though it is not purely isolating, but weakly fusional. 2. '''Agglutinating''' languages have words that may consist of more than one morpheme; the morpheme boundaries are clear and the word can be easily broken up into morphemes. Each of the inflectional morphemes fulfils a single grammatical function. An example is Turkish: (1a) '''ev''' 'house' <br> (1b) '''evde''' 'in the house' <br> (1c) '''evler''' 'houses' <br> (1d) '''evlerde''' 'in the houses' <br> The last form can be easily broken up into three morphemes: '''ev''' is the word stem (the same in all four forms), '''-ler''' the plural marker (the same as in (1c), and '''-de''' the locative case marker (the same as in(1b)). 3. '''Fusional''' languages have words that may consist of more than one morpheme; unlike agglutinating languages, the morpheme boundaries are blurred, and morphemes may express several grammatical categories in one unsegmentable unit. Most Indo-European languages are of this type. An example is Latin: (2a) '''homo''' 'man' (nom. sg.) <br> (2b) '''homini''' 'man' (dat. sg.) <br> (2c) '''homines''' 'men' (nom. pl.) <br> (2d) '''hominibus''' 'men' (dat. pl.) <br> The stem form varies between '''homo''' in (2a) and '''homin-''' in the other forms; the form (2d) shows the dative plural ending '''-ibus''' which cannot be broken up into a dative and a plural morpheme (as comparison with (2b) and (2c) shows). These three types are rarely met in pure form, but form a continuum in which each language finds its place. Agglutinating and fusional languages are often grouped together as '''synthetic''' languages. The term '''inflecting''' is often used for fusional, but sometimes also for synthetic languages in general. It is thus ambiguous and best avoided. Two further common terms for morphological types are: 4. '''Polysynthetic''' languages are languages that are highly synthetic, with very complex words that can function as whole sentences, combining subject, object and verb in one word. Polysynthetic languages may be agglutinating or fusional. 5. '''Oligosynthetic''' languages are not really a morphological type, and they apparently do not occur among natural languages. An [[oligosynthetic language]] has only a limited set (a few dozen to a few hundred) of basic morphemes from which all words are built up.

An '''oligosynthetic language''' (from the Greek ''ὀλίγος'', meaning "few" or "little") is any language using very few morphemes, perhaps only a few hundred, which combine synthetically to form statements. It is contrasted to polysynthetic languages. Oligosynthesis is almost entirely theoretical and would depend heavily on the creation of lengthy compound words, to an extent far exceeding that of regular synthetic languages. There are no known natural human languages that are oligosynthetic. The Native American languages Nahuatl and Blackfoot have in the past been claimed to exhibit oligosynthetic qualities (most notably by Benjamin Whorf). However, the linguistic community has largely rejected these claims, preferring to categorize Nahuatl and Blackfoot as polysynthetic. Because no natural language has been shown to exhibit oligosynthetic properties, some linguists regard true oligosynthesis as impossible or impractical for productive use by humans. ==Oligosynthetic constructed languages== Some conlangs, for example Sona, aUI, Ygyde, Kali-sise, and Vuyamu, may be considered oligosynthetic. Unlike oligosynthetic languages, '''oligoanalytic''' or '''oligoisolating''' languages are ones which have few morphemes but tend toward isolating structure. For example, the conlang Toki Pona has been described as oligoisolating. The Newspeak spoken by Oceania in the novel 1984 tends theoretically to be an oligosynthetic language, as the aim is to reduce the morphemes. Newspeak ideas are expressed using those few roots and constructing a new idea by synthesis; for example, ''doubleplusungood'' means "extremely unsatisfactory".

While [[natlang]]s can be quite complex and a good [[naturalistic artlang]] reflects this, a kitchen sink conlang involves excessive complication without adding more depth. No single feature can turn a conlang into a kitchen sink - what is called for is a combination of several perceivedly unusual features, or even ordinary features that do not "work together". A conlang should not be call'd "kitchensinky" lightly, without considering the risk of [[ANADEW]]. The phonology of [[wikipedia:Dahalo language|Dahalo]] is a good example.

It consisted of two separate weeks, a 5-day week and a 7-day week, running simultaneously. The combination of the two created a 35-day "month", 7 of which made a Ritual Year of 245 days, or a few hours shy of a [[Galhafan year|full solar year]]. In addition to the 5- and 7-day weeks, there were 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, and 12-day weeks, with various rituals determined by combinations of these weeks. All of these weeks return to their start simultaneously once every 27,720 days (a bit over 113 years). These rare events are a cause for great celebration. Each of these Grand Cycles begins on a different Ritual Month. 7 Grand Cycles form a Most Sacred Year of 194,040 days (a bit over 792 years) [[Category:Galhafan Calendars]] [[Category:Sanle|Calendars]] File:Bitmap 27 Seuna.PNG 6180 41790 2009-01-09T09:36:43Z Staigard 752 Council of Rulers 6181 41813 2009-01-12T01:31:23Z Christina 18 New page: The '''Council of Rulers''' was the predecessor to the modern Kasshi [[Kasshi Parliament#Senate|Senate]].

[[Category:Kasshi History]] [[Category:Kasshi Government]] Kasshi Parliament 6182 43401 2009-02-23T06:16:09Z Christina 18 /* Landowners' Assembly */ The '''Parliament''' of the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire]] is a tricameral body, consisting of a Senate, a Council of Nobles, and a Grand Assembly. All laws, before they are enacted, require the approval of the Parliament, the [[Kasshi Empress|Empress]] and the relevant [[Council of Elected Advisors|Advisor]]. == Senate == The Senate consists of representatives appointed for life by the various member-states of the Empire. Each state is assigned a number of Senators under the [[Unification Treaty (Kasshi)|Treaty of Unification of the Kasshi Empire]] and subsequent amendments to the same. == Council of Nobles == The Council of Nobles consists of all of the nobles of the Empire. Voting is by title, so that nobles with multiple titles possess one vote for each of their titles. The Council of Nobles was formed during the [[Second Kasshi Empire]], and its power has risen and fallen over time. It has gained significant power in the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire]], especially after the [[Global War]]. The [[Noble Titles Succession Reform Act]] created significant changes to its make up, as it permitted the sale of noble titles to local governments or corporations. After [[Dzesa]]'s fall from power at the end of the Global War, she returned to power subtly through the use of various corporations in which she had a controlling interest and which purchased titles, which, in addition to her own titles, gave her indirect control of a significant portion of the Council's votes. Her status as mother-in-law to the empress also allowed her significant indirect power. == Grand Assembly == The Grand Assembly is divided into several assemblies. For most purposes, a majority of the entire Grand Assembly is all that is required, but some types of laws require a majority of specific assemblies as well. === Landowners' Assembly === The Landowners' Assembly consists of representatives elected, originally, by the wealthy landowners of the Empire. Today, its electorate has broadened out somewhat, but still consists of the wealthy. In 756, during the [[Global War]], the land-owning requirement was abandoned, and in its place, a minimum 1,728 (12<sup>3</sup>) [[Imperial Chan|chan]]/[[Galhafan year|year]] (equivalent, at the time time, to about a half million dollars a year in contemporary US currency) income was implemented. The minimum has been gradually raised, initially at a rate somewhat lower than inflation. It is currently 3,578 chan/year (around $135,000/Earth year in contemporary US currency) === Merchants' Assembly === This is currently the smallest of the constituent Assemblies, and there have been proposals to eliminate it, or merge it with the Landowners' Assembly. It represents business interests. === Assembly of Faith Leaders === This Assembly consists of representatives appointed by the leaders of the [[Major Faith (Kasshi)|Major Faith]]s. === General Assembly === This is the Assembly with the largest electorate. All citizens over the age of 36 (25.6 Earth years) are eligible to vote (including those eligible to vote for the other Assemblies).

This was one year after [[S.C. Anderson]] headed a successful campaign to persuade civilians in Schleswig-Holstein to vote for independence as opposed to joining Germany or Denmark, praising the 'distinctive' history of the region, and sixteen years after the first West Germanic, then Piscean, World Conference. A continued political campaign after the declaration of independence highlighted the presence of the Anglic Frisian people, using this to romanticise an image of the Varangian Guard, whose descendants had settled in [[Xenia]] since defending the Byzantine Empire. Anderson at first presented the artificial language as a dialect of [[Xenian language|Xenian]], on which it was modelled minus the Greek influence and with added elements of German morphology. Later, his propaganda established the 'discovery' of philologists of a great language (named West Germanic after the family whence it came) comprising two dialects: Xenian West Germanic and German West Germanic. He had already planned to make Xenia a protectorate and now only needed an excuse to do so. Indo-Iranian Loans in Kilda 6188 41895 2009-01-16T17:23:43Z Kuroda 171 ''NB: Since under-dots seem dodgy on some fonts, I’m using capital letters to transliterate Sanskrit retroflex sounds.'' The Neo-Khitanese or Kilda language preserves fairly large numbers of loanwords originating in Indian and Iranian languages. This page attempts to catalog them more or less thoroughly. == Indian (Sanskrit) Loans == Both (Neo)Khitan and Mongolian borrowed large amounts of vocabulary from Old Turkic/Old Uighur sources, including all or almost all terms of Indian origin. It’s interesting to see the differences in how the two languages handled the loanwords, considering the likely close relationship of the Old Khitan and the (Pre)Classical Mongolian languages, and that the loans came from essentially the same source language and source texts, separated by perhaps two or three centuries. One of the differences between the Neo-Khitanese (henceforth “NK”) and the Mongolian borrowings of Sanskrit terminology from Turkic sources is that Mongolian, but not Khitan, changed voiceless stops to voiced ones: * NK pïšacï “tp. of man-eating demon” vs. Mong bisaci < Uigh pišači < Skt piśāca * NK pratï “discrimination, judgment; intelligence; knowledge” vs. Mong bradiya, brajina, branca/branja < OTurk pratya < Skt prajñā * NK pïratïkabut, pïraktabut, partïkabut “buddha who achieves enlightenment on his own” vs. Mong bradikabud, biratikabud, bardakbud < Uigh pratikabut, piratakabut < Skt pratyekabuddha * NK putanï, kataputanï “tp. of disease spirit” vs. Mong butani, katabutani < Uigh putani, kataputani < Skt pūtana, kaTaputana * NK pirit “tp. of spirit/ghost” vs. Mong birid < Uigh prit < Skt preta * NK mantal “icon, mandala” vs. Mong mandal < Uighur mantal < Skt maNDala * NK kumbantï “tp. of spirit” vs Mong kumbandi < Uigh kumbanti < Skt kumbhāNDa * NK kalp “eon, (geological) era” vs. Mong galb, galab < OTurk kalp, klp < Skt kalpa * NK cakïravart “world-ruler, sovereign emperor” vs. Mong cakiravard < Uigh čakiravrt < Sogdian < Skt cakravartin * NK kitü “eclipse ‘planet’” vs. Mong kidu < Uigh kitu < Skt ketu * NK šukur, šükür “Venus (in astrological/magical jargon)” vs. Mong šukra < OTurk šukur, šükür < Skt śukra * NK cišti “name of lunar mansion” vs. Mong cisda < OTurk čišt < Skt jyeSThā * NK utarsat, utarbatïrwat, utarpalgunï “names of lunar mansions” vs. Mong udirasat, udirabadirabat, utirabalguni < OTurk utrasat, udarabatirawat/utrabadirabat, utrapalguni < Skt uttarāSāDHā, uttarabhādrapadā, uttaraphalgunī * NK funarwasu, furwabatïrwat, furwapalgunï, furwašat, fus “id.” vs. Mong bunarwasu, purwabadirabat, burwabalguni, burwasat bus < Uigh punarwasu, purwabadirabat, purwapalguni, purwašat, puš < Skt punarvasu, pūrvabhādrapadā, pūrvaphalgunī, pūrvāSāDHā, puSya * NK hast “id.” vs. Mong qasda < OTurk χast, qast < Skt hasta * NK šatabïs “id.” vs. Mong sadabis < OTurk šatabiš, satabis < Skt śatabhiSaj * NK suwatï “id. (also, the star Arcturus)” vs. Mong suwadi < OTurk suwati < Skt svātī * NK caïtïr “id. (also, the star Spica)” vs. Mong caidir < OTurk čaytir < Skt citrā, caitra * NK kirtik “id. (also, the Pleiades)” vs. Mong kirdik < OTurk kirtik < Skt kRttikā Note that the change of *p to *f before high back vowels is regular in NK, taking place en masse sometime between the 13th and 16th centuries and intermittently thereafter. On the other hand, the Sanskrit name of the lunar mansion dhaniSTHā was borrowed > OTurk daniš, taništa > NK danïš but Mong tanis – clearly not an example of the reversal of the pattern noted above, but a case of each of the two recipient languages adopting a different variant that existed within the Turkic source. In some cases, the Mongolian voicing is more faithful to the Indian original; this may be coincidence, but it may also be due to later influence from Tibetan sources which better preserved Sanskrit phonology than did Old Turkic. For example, NK urgunï “name of lunar mansion; the star Aldebaran” < OTurk urguni, urukini < Skt rohiNī, vs. Mong rokini; NK arïwadï “name of lunar mansion” < OTurk eriwadi, riwati < Skt revatī, vs. Mong riwadi. In other cases, the difference between Neo-Khitanese and Mongolian borrowings is less regular but still clear: * NK rahu “eclipse ‘planet’” vs. Mong raqu < OTurk raχu < Skt rāhu * NK barkasadï “Jupiter (in astrological/magical jargon)” vs. Mong briqasbadi < OTurk braχaswadi, br(a)χasiwadi, barxasuvadi < Skt bRhaspati * NK šanïcar “Saturn (in astrological/magical jargon)” vs. Mong sanisčar < OTurk šaničar, šaniščar < Skt śanaiścara * NK margasïr “name of lunar mansion” vs. Mong margasiri < OTurk mrgašir < Skt mr.gaśirā * NK asïlïs “id.” vs Mong aslis < OTurk ašliš < Skt āśles.ā * NK ašuwïn “id.” vs. Mong asuwani < OTurk ašwani < Skt aśvinī * NK abïtï “recognition, remembering” vs. Mong abinca < OTurk abitiyi < Skt abhijñā * NK gandarwï “tp. of spirit” vs. Mong gandaris (also gandarwi) < Uigh gandarwi < Skt gandharva * NK cïkšapat “moral precept” vs. Mong cigšabad < Uigh čixšapat < Sogdian < Skt śikSāpada * NK ušnïr “1) excrescense on the head of a Buddha; 2) halo, diadem (of a supernatural being)” vs. Mong usnir < Uigh ušnir < Toch. A uSNīr < Skt uSNīSa * NK tattu “truth, a true principle” vs. Mong dadu < OTurk ? < Skt. tattva * NK sušak “id.” vs. Mong šusaq < OTurk sušak < Skt viśākhā * NK šašan, šajïn “discipline, instruction; doctrine, teachings” vs. Mong šasin < OTurk šazan, šasiñ, šažin < Saka śśaśana, śśāśaM < Skt śāsana * NK slök “verse, stanza, section of text” vs. Mong silüg < OTurk šlok < Skt śloka In general it can be said that the Neo-Khitanese forms are more conservative, or at least have remained closer to the Turkic originals, than the Mongolian forms have. As can be seen above, astronomy/astrology and Buddhism are the primary domains in which Indian loans spread into Neo-Khitanese. A fairly complete list of examples in addition to those given above follows. Astrology & Astronomy (Almost all terms in this category are restricted, in modern times, to religious and performances and consciously archaicizing poetic, literary, or calendrical contexts.) * mag “a lunar mansion; the star Regulus” < OTurk mag < Skt maghā * ardïr “a lunar mansion; the star Betelgeuse” < OTurk ardïr < Skt ārdrā * abïcï “a lunar mansion; the star Vega” < OTurk abiči < Skt abhijit * anurad “a lunar mansion” < OTurk anurat, anurad < Skt anurādha * baranï “id.” < OTurk barani < Skt bharaNī * mul “id.” < OTurk mul < Skt mūla * sïrawan “id.” < OTurk širawan < Skt śravaNā * garha “planet” (astrological/magical jargon) < OTurk graχ, garχ < Skt graha * adïtï “Sun” < OTurk aditya < Skt āditya “Sun (god)” * bud “Mercury” < OTurk bud < Skt budha * somo “Moon” < OTurk soma < Skt soma * aŋgarak “Mars” < OTurk aŋarak < Skt aŋgāraka Buddhist Philosophy, Religious Practice, Mythology * akšantï “patience, endurance” < OTurk kšanti < Skt kSānta, kSānti * asurï “evil deity, malicious god” < OTurk asurï < Skt asura * bodï “enlightenment” < OTUrk bodi < Skt bodhi * bodïmant “seat of enlightenment” < OTurk bodimant < Skt bodhimaNDa * cambudïwïp “the world” < OTurk čambudiwip < Skt jambudvīpa * darm “1) science, theory, doctrine; 2) nature, character, characteristic peculiarity, essential quality or condition” < OTurk darm < Skt dharma * dïyan “meditation, reflective thought” < OTurk dian, dyan, diyan < Skt dhyāna * estüp “reliquary for religious relics” < OTurk estup, stup < Skt stūpa * fïšaï “sense object” < OTurk wišay, fišay < Skt viSaya * fïyakrït “analyzed, explained, expounded” < Uighur vyakrit < Skt vyākRta (cf Mong viyakirid, viyaŋgirid, vivaŋgir(i)d) * fusar “bodhisattva” < OTurk pusar < Chinese pusa (*b’uo-sat) < Skt bodhisattva * garudï “tp. of spirit” < Uigh garudi < Skt garuDa * ïnyana “wisdom, knowledge” < OTurk inyana < Skt jñāna * kïnarï “tp. of spirit” < Uigh kinari < Skt kiMnara * makuragï “tp. of serpent spirit” < Uigh maqoragi < Skt mahoraga * namabut “veneration to the Buddha!” < OTurk namobut < Skt namo buddhāya * namadarm “veneration to the Teaching!” < OTurk namodarm < Skt namo dharmāya * namasaŋ “veneration to the Community!” < OTurk namosaŋ < Skt namo sam.ghāya * nïkaï “school (of thought/belief), sect, grouping” < OTurk nikay < Skt nikāya * parmïtal, parïmtal “perfections, transcendental virtues” < OTurk paramit < Skt pāramitā * šabï “novice monk, lay brother” < OTurk šabi < (Chinese?) < Skt śramanera * sadu “good! great! wonderful!” < OTurk sadu < Skt sādhu * šamnancï, sïmnancï “nun” < OTurk šamnanč, šmnanč, šimnanč < Sogdian < Skt śramanerī (note the distinctively Sogdian feminine nominal suffix) * sansar “samsara” < OUigh sansar < Skt saMsāra * saŋda “monastic community; monks (as a group); monastery (as an organization)” < OTurk saŋram < Skt saNghārāma * šastïr “dogmatic text, religious book” < OTurk šastir < Skt śāstra * satya “truth” (in technical sense of Buddhist epistemologists) < OTurk ?

In NK this is '''palja''' (*balja < *barja < *bajra < *wajra ?); compare to OTurk wačir, w(a)žir, w(a)zir, vcir < Sogdian βažir, Tocharian waśir < Skt vajra. == IRANIAN LOANWORDS == Terms derived from Iranian languages were also likely transmitted through Turkic intermediaries, though there is some reason to believe that the Sogdian language had a direct influence on the sources of Neo-Khitanese.

They were replaced by typefaces based on the Eastern Mediterranean so-called Helladic letterforms of the late Byzantine Empire which during the Neoclassicism of the eighteenth century were believed to reflect a more authentic Hellenic spirit. The Hesperiotic letterforms were not a separate alphabet but rather a stylistic variant of the Hellenic alphabet like [[wp:Blackletter|Blackletter]] and [[wp:Antiqua|Antiqua]] are variants of the Latin alphabet in [[OTL]] (and to be sure there were Blackletter forms of the Hellenic alphabet in WHATL!) Early in the 18{{sup|th}} century the [[wp:Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic alphabet]] switched over to letterforms based on the West European Hesperiotic just as it switched over to Antiqua-based forms in OTL, and in WHATL the Russians clung to these Hesperiotic-based forms even after Western Europe shortly after switched over to Helladic letterforms, so ironically Hesperiotic in contemporary WHATL is mostly used to suggest a 'Cyrillic' feel. Thus WHATL magazine readers will se advertisements for '''Pɣccık fodka''' rather than Ρɤσσικ ϝοδκα as it is normally written in contemporary WHATL Εγγλισχ. Some Hesperiotic letterforms lingered on in western handwriting, notably ƒ rather than ϝ, which had become obsolete in the Helladic language already in antiquity. This letter is also normally called ϝαυ rather than the Helladic διγαμμα. Furthermore western languages used no less than three derivatives of υ as distinct letters, and these — uɣy — were naturally retained, although in 'Helladicized' shapes: υɤυ̢.

Language shift is likely to have taken place in Japan itself. Despite its "fringe position", Japanese' (''Vashdə'', ''margu Vashdau'') is the most thriving language of the family. We can distinguish three main subgroups of the family: Insular, Continental and Northern. There is some historical evidence of more than one group on the mainland and it is likely this is where the family originated, but all the surviving Continental Japonic' languages clearly belong in a common branch. It seems this leaves Taiwanese' (now shriveling under Sinitic influence) closest related to the minority languages of Hainan. The Standard Modern Japanese' phoneme inventory is {| |- | p || f || t || ɬ || s || ʂ || k || h |- | b || v || d ||rowspan="2"| l || rowspan="2"| ɾ || || ɡ || ʁ |- | m || || n || j || w || |} * /ʂ/ has an allophone [ʐ] before /b v d ɡ/. * /ɬ l/ and /f v/ are in similar complementary distribution in clusters. Vowels /i e a o u/ plus length, /ə/, /ai au/. Phonotax: (C)V(C), medial clusters are mostly of the type FO or SO. NO is (conspicuously?) missing. In inherited vocabulary root initium must be one of /p b m f v t d n ʂ j k ɡ/, whereas the most common codas are /m n s ʂ ɬ l/. ''(I'm pretty sure I had some further notes about this somewhere, but I have no zarking clue where I put them…)'' Proto-Japonic' is usually reconstructed with the following consonant inventory: {| |- | *p || *pf || *t || || *c || *k || |- | *b || *bv || *d || || *ɟ || *ɡ || |- | || || *s || *ɬ || || *x || |- | *m || || *n || *l || *j || *ɣ || *w |} In Continental Japonic' the labiodental affricates neatly merge with the plain labial stops, and the palatal stops with the alveolars. Insular Japonic' retains the distinctions but merges *ɬ → *x, *ɡ → ɣ. Due to paucity of data about the lost Korean idioms, Proto-Northern Japonic' and Proto-Japanese' are usually equated. This stage contains a fair number of changes, most prominently a collapse of the original vowel system and a redevelopment of length; deaffrication of labiodentals; *c → ʂ; *ɟ → *ʐ → j (in initium and intervocally) / ʂ (in clusters); *x → h (ii&i) / ʂ (between a front vowel and a non-velar obstruent) / ∅ (most of the rest of the time); and medial flapping of *d → ɾ. Modern /ʁ/ does not directly continue *ɣ, but is rather found for both *ɣ and *ɡ in a backing environment. Backing and spirantization of *k to /χ/ is only found in a few dialects. The grammar has developed from mildly agglutinativ origins towards increasing morphological complexity. For example where the original genetiv has become a dativ, four possession categories of inalienable, subordinate, temporary, and possession of property have develop'd from distinct auxiliary or full verbs of Old Japanese'. Word order is VSO with obligatory subject and object marking on the verb. ===Some phrases=== *"Hello!" ''Tuuti!'' *"How are you?" ''Nuteghalas eweerim?'' (sing.) ''Nuteghini togarim?'' (plur.) *"My name is __." ''Saugitadoo kashpeya __.'' *"Look out!" ''Shubat!''

She reigned from 838 when [[Chara Charakh|her mother]] resigned the throne in her favor to 845 when she abdicated for mental health reasons. In 843, she disappeared entirely from the public eye, passing imperial duties to her cousin, the then-Lord [[Mayor of Ivets]] and Governor-General of All Extraplanetary Territories Prince [[Lindar Taranakh]], who served as Lord Regent. Initial reports were that Dzesa had suffered a mild stroke and was recovering from the effects. Two years after her initial seclusion, she gave a short press conference in which she declared her abdication, and revealed that she'd suffered a breakdown in '41. She was the first Empress to resign for reasons other than age in the modern Empire. Retired Empress Dzesa has no children. {| border="1" align="center" cellpadding=3 class=bordertable style="background:#eeeeee" |- align="center" |width="30%" rowspan=2|Preceded by:<br>'''[[Chara Charakh]]''' |width="40%"|'''Lady [[Mayor of Ivets]]'''<br>798 - 838 |width="30%"|Succeeded by:<br>'''[[Tarana Charakh]]''' |- align="center" |width="40%"|'''[[Imperial Ruler of the Kasshi|Empress of the Kasshi Empire]]<br>([[House of Tarana]])'''<br>838 - 845 |width="30%"|Succeeded by:<br>'''[[Lindar Taranakh]]''' |} [[Category:Imperial Rulers of the House of Tarana]] Category:Planets of the Galhaf System 6196 41927 2009-01-19T00:09:25Z Christina 18 New page: [[Category:Planets|Galhaf]] [[Category:Galhaf]] [[Category:Planets|Galhaf]] [[Category:Galhaf]] Ospendakh 6197 41935 2009-01-19T03:52:02Z Christina 18 {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width=300 class=bordertable style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #e9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |+ <big>'''{{PAGENAME}}'''</big> |- |'''Mean Distance from [[Suns of Galhaf|sun]]''': || 240,520,000 km<br>1.609 AU |- |Perhelion: || Variable |- |Aphelion: || Variable |- |'''Mean Orbital Period''': || 727 d, 16 h, 25 m, 36 s (Earth) |- |'''Eccentricity''': || Variable |- |'''Sidereal day''': || 22 h, 47 m, 16 s |- |'''Solar day''': || 22 h, 49 m, 3 s |- |'''Diameter''': || 10,087 km |- |'''Surface area''': || 319,650,000 km² |- |'''Axial tilt''': || 17.3º |- |'''Mass''': || 3.0471 × 10<sup>24</sup> kg |- |'''Gravity''': ||8.00 m/s²<br>.815 g |- |'''Number of moons''': || 5 |} '''Ospendakh''' (from [[Classical Sanle]] ''Tpen tkab'' "Follower Star") orbits [[Suns of Galhaf|Chihazh]] in the trailing [[Wikipedia:trojan point|trojan point]] of [[Zheftakh]].

The earliest form of Dalcurian language was developed as a religious tongue by a rather eccentric [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagan pagan] king called '''Thadæus Thadurac''' (Dalcurian: '''''þadæös þadörac''''') around 200 BC. The religion was a breakaway form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagan Paganism] that was practiced throughout Europe around that time, and had thousands of followers, divided up into fellowships. Thadurac was the order's self appointed king, and highly revered among his followers. Although not fully substantiated, it's thought that he was a Carthaginan. Carthaginians were great seafarers and they capitalized on the trade of the Iberian silver and British tin. Thadurac had forged trade links as far as England, and was a highly respected Carthaginian councillor.

In order to fulfill this aim it may render its opinion in relation to the drafting of bills affecting the Judiciary or to report on the situation of the latter. *§5 Appropriate laws concerning the Judiciary shall regulate the functions and jurisdiction of this Supreme Tribunal. ==Article 91 [Terms of Judges]== *All Judges, whatever their rank, shall be appointed for a renewable five-year term, from academically qualified lawyers with the technical capacity for the performance of the judicial office. ==Article 92 [Privileges of Judges]== *§1 The office of Judge is not compatible with any other public post or with the exercise of commercial, industrial or professional activities. Remuneration of Judges is the responsibility of the General Budget of the Monastic Republic. *§2 While Judges hold office they may not be reproved, displaced, suspended, or removed from their post, unless pursuant to a sanction imposed on grounds of disciplinary or criminal liability, by means of a procedure regulated by the Law and with the rights of hearing and defense fully guaranteed. The same Law shall also regulate the cases of civil liability of Judges. ==Article 93 [Cost of Miscarriage of Justice]== *In accordance with the laws and notwithstanding the personal liability of those who caused them, the Monastic Republic shall cover the damages for the problems caused by the miscarriage of Justice or the abnormal functioning of the administration of Justice. =TITLE VII THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT= ==Article 94 [Jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court]== *§1 The Supreme Tribunal shall also act as the Constitutional Court. This Constitutional Court shall protect the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and decide in conflicts of jurisdiction between the Courts and the administrative authorities. *§2 The Constitutional Court shall also have jurisdiction to review the constitutionality of laws and international treaties and the legality of executive ordinances; in such matters, it may declare their annulment. *§3 The Constitutional Court is the supreme interpreter of the Constitution and functions jurisdictionally. Its decisions bind public authorities and individuals alike. *§4 The Constitutional Court decides on its own rules of procedure and carries out its functions subject only to the Constitution and the corresponding Law regulating it. ==Article 95 [Voting of the Constitutional Court]== *§1 The Constitutional Court makes its decisions by a majority vote. Its votes and its debates are secret. The Chief Judge has the deciding vote in case of a tie. *§2 The judgments which partially or wholly uphold the appeal have to determine the scope and extension of its consequences. ==Article 96 [Cases before the Constitutional Court]== *The Constitutional Court tries: **a) Appeals of unconstitutionality against laws and executive regulations. **b) Requests of preliminary opinion of unconstitutionality about international laws and treaties. **c) Processes of constitutional appeal. **d) Conflicts of jurisdiction between constitutional organs. To this effect the Archimandrite, the Holy Synod, and the Courts are considered as constitutional organs. ==Article 97 [Appeals]== *§1 Appeals of unconstitutionality against laws or statutory rules may be lodged by two Citizens. The appeal shall be lodged within thirty days following the publication of the rule. *§2 The lodging of the appeal does not suspend the enforcement of the rule under appeal. The Court shall pass judgment within a maximum period of two months. ==Article 98 [Request for a Decision]== *§1 If, in the course of litigation, a Court has reasoned and founded doubts about the constitutionality of a law or a legislative decree, the application of which is relevant to its decision, it shall request in writing the decision of the Constitutional Court about the validity of the rule affected. *§2 The Constitutional Court may not admit the transaction of the request without further appeal. If the request is admitted, judgment shall be passed within a maximum period of two months. ==Article 99 [Constitutionality of Treaties]== *§1 The Archimandrite or any Hegumen may request an opinion about the constitutionality of international treaties prior to their ratification. The proceedings with that intent shall take priority. *§2 The judgment admitting the unconstitutionality of the treaty shall prevent its ratification. In all cases the conclusion of an international treaty including stipulations contrary to the Constitution shall require the previous revision of the latter. ==Article 100 [Lodging of Appeals]== *A constitutional appeal against the acts of public authorities impairing fundamental rights may be lodged by: **a) Those having been part of or accessory to the previous legal proceedings referred to in article 4, §12 of this Constitution. **b) Those having a legal interest related to non-enforceable provisions or acts of the Holy Synod. ==Article 101 [Conflicts of Interest]== *§1 Conflicts between the constitutional organs arise when one of them alleges that another is illegitimately carrying out the tasks which are constitutionally under the jurisdiction of the first. *§2 The Constitutional Court may provisorily stay the enforcement of the rules or acts under appeal, and when appropriate, give orders for the acts which originated the conflict to be stopped. *§3 The judgment shall determine and confer jurisdiction to one of the disputing parties. *§4 The lodging of a conflict of jurisdiction prevents the matter from coming before the administration of Justice. *§5 The Law shall regulate the cases in which a conflict of jurisdiction may arise on grounds of the non-exercise by constitutional organs of the jurisdiction to which they are entitled. ==Article 102 [Legal Status of Constitutional Court Members]== *A law shall regulate the legal status of the members of the Constitutional Court, the constitutional proceedings and the functioning of the institution. =TITLE VIII CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION= ==Article 103 [Suspension]== *The Constitution may not in any way or at any time be suspended. ==Article 104 [Revision]== *§1 The right to initiate the revision, total or partial, of the Constitution shall lie with the Archimandrite or one-third of the Holy Synod. *§2 The revision of the Constitution shall require the approval of the Holy Synod by a three-quarters majority of the Holy Synod. Immediately after its approval the proposal shall be submitted to the Citizens of the Lowland and the Isles for ratification in a referendum. *§3 Once the procedure established in article 104, §2, has been carried out, the Archimandrite shall sign the new constitutional text for its promulgation and coming into force.

[[Middle Low Saxon]] ** [[Low Saxon]] aka Low German ==Difference between [[High German|High]] and Low German== High German differs from other West German languages such as Low German, [[Modern English|English]], and [[Dutch]] in that [[High German]] when through the [[High German Consonant Shift]]. The High German Consonant Shift (or HGCS) is the sound shift where; # Non-geminated voicless [[Stop|stops]] became [[Fricative|fricatives]], # Geminated, [[Nasal|nasal]]-adjacent and [[Liquid|liquid]]-adjacent voiceless [[Stop|stops]] became [[Affricate|affricates]], # Voiced stops became voiceless stops, and finally # All interdental fricatives (/[[Voiced dental fricative|ð]]/ and /[[Voiceless dental fricative|θ]]/) became the dental stop and/or Alveolar stop /[[Voiced dental stop|d̻]]/ and /[[Voiced alveolar stop|d]]/. <br> The last stage was shared by Low German and [[Dutch]] as well as [[High German]]. ==Orthography== Because there is no standard dialect of Low German, there is no standard orthography. It can often differ by region. ==Grammar== ===Gender and Number=== There are three genders in Low German: Neuter, Masculine, and Feminine. There are two numbers as well: Singular and Plural. ===Articles=== The Masculine and Feminine genders take the definite article '''de'''. The Neuter form takes the article '''dat'''. The plural for all this is '''de'''. This makes it very close to its cousin of [[Dutch]] which has a similar pattern (save '''het''' instead of '''dat'''.) The Indefinite article is the same for all, it is '''een''', '''en''', and ''''n'''. Compare these with the [http://wiki.frath.net/High_German#Articles|High German Articles]]: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- ! Cases ! Masculine ! Feminine ! Neuter !

This is reflected in the articles as well. The most common form of the plural is found in the ending '''-s''' but there are others, similar to those found in [[Dutch]] or [[High German]]. <br> Here are examples for all three genders: <br> '''Masculine:''' <br> {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- !

''árše širgamári beradán''), is a [[Pihaki]] language spoken in Eastern Seligam. Instead of changing vowels to indicate tenses, it uses particles placed after the verb (not necessarily immediately after): ''e'' for present, ''sa'' for future, ''ra'' (cognate to Ubnadck ''ena'', was) for past, ''a'' for hypothetical. ''era'' (if) is not one of these particles, but is used similarly. Seligamine verbs still conjugate for person and number: ersi, erso, ersa, ersadi, ersabu, ersan. The passive is expressed by the suffix ''-and'': ersandi, ersando, ersanda, ersandidi, ersandabo, ersandan. Eastern Seligamine writing is a syllabary. A recent sound shift changed /s/ to /š/ and /t/ to /s/ or /d/, except in /st/ which remains unchanged and some other places. Spelling more often follows the old pronunciation.

They have no accent of their own but add a syllable to the word, so that the accent of the preceding word is drawn to them. **<font color=blue>t' ǿnøm</font>, the name; <font color=blue>t' ønǿm mu</font>, my name **<font color=blue>i ikøgéni</font>, the family; <font color=blue>i ikøgení mu</font>, my family *When the nouns are preceded by an adjective the possessive adjective is put after the noun. **<font color=blue>tø ämáx</font>, the cart; <font color=blue>tø kenúri ämáx</font>, the new cart; <font color=blue>tø kenúri ämáx mu</font>, my new cart **<font color=blue>ø käl fíl mäs</font>, our good friend ====Comparison of Adjectives==== *Adjectives form the comparative degree by placing the word <font color=blue>piǿ</font> in front them. They are then followed by <font color=blue>apǿ</font> and the accusative. *Piǿ</font> is an enclitic and causes an accent on the following adjective if it doesn't already have one. **<font color=blue>Ø Mikhál plúsi in</font>, Michael is rich. **<font color=blue>Ø äðélf mu piǿ dinát pǿ tø äðélf su in</font>, my brother is stronger than your brother. **<font color=blue>Ø Gián piø ftókh

color=blue>se</font> after it. **<font color=blue>Ø André ø piø kál mäþít støn tax tu</font>, Andrew is the best pupil in his class. **<font color=blue>Ø pätér tis ø piø plúsi stin Äþín in</font>, Her father is the richest man in Athens. **<font color=blue>I Elén i piø oré ginék stin Elláð it</font>, Helen was the most beautiful woman in Greece. ===Plural=== *Nouns form their plurals by adding <font color=blue>-s</font> to the word. *<font color=blue>-is</font> is added if the noun ends in <font color=blue>-s</font>. **<font color=blue>ø ánþrops</font>, the men **<font color=blue>ø ándris</font>, the men **<font color=blue>ø ergáts</font>, the men **<font color=blue>i ädélfs</font>, the sisters **<font color=blue>i mers</font>, the days **<font color=blue>i léxis</font>, the words **<font color=blue>i sképsis</font>, the thoughts **<font color=blue>tø tsigárs</font>, the cigarettes **<font color=blue>tø ämáxis</font>, the carts **Irregular plurals: ***<font color=blue>tø

[[User:Eldin raigmore|eldin]] 18:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC) == Minor edit: pléofont> s/b pléo< /font> == I corrected it (changed pléofont> to pléo< /font> ). I hope that's OK. :Of course, it's OK. I'm working on this Swadesh list. Sorry I didn't answer your question sooner. I'm not used to checking the discussion on my pages! I will be indicating words of Turkish origin in red. There won't be too many on the Swadesh list, though. Now that I know that the Greek immigrants from Turkey spoke Turkish, not Greek, as their L1, I feel a little less constrained to pepper Athonite with Turkish words.

They are spoken in the Lands of Both Dracon's Flanks, especially in the Holy Land of Hexapotamia. Acording to the legend, Ged¨hu and Zeªhţu were brothers who left their overpopulated homeland, sailed beyond Pillars of Heracles and after a long voyage settled near the Rhipean Mountain. =Grammar= ==Phonology== Ged¨hi language retained all 29 Proto-Semitic consonants. Vowels in rots were reduced and merged to the vowel '''e'''. Another new vowel '''o''' was introduced probably due to adstrate influences, although the Ged¨hi classical grammarians claim that it was not an inovation but a retained archaism. The old long vowels were shortened, but new length arised from contraction: :ú &lt; uwu :í &lt; uwi :á &lt; uwa :ó &lt; uwo :é &lt; uwe This occurs mainly in all masculine plural nominal forms, and also it caused the irregularity of verbs primae waw, where it occurs in intensive and pasive stems. ===Orthography=== According to the early traditional orthography, the consonants are represented by 22 basic letters and 2 diacritic marks. It can be written either right to left: א ב ג גֿ ד דֿ ה װ ז ח ט טֿ ײ כ כֿ ל מ נ ס ע פ צ צ׳ ק ר ש ש׳ ת תֿ or left to right: A Б Γ Γ` D D` E W Z Η Θ Θ` И K K` L M N Ξ O Π Ψ Ψ' Q R Ш Ш' T T` Some combinations of a letter with a diacritic can be optionally writen as ligatures: :Γ` = Ω (great O) :D` = Ð :K` = X (slim H) :T` = Þ A Б Γ Ω D Ð E W Z Η Θ Θ` И K X L M N Ξ O Π Ψ Ψ' Q R Ш Ш' T Þ In 437 CE, '''Б И Ξ Π Ψ Ш''' were replaced by Latin letters '''B J C P Ç''' and Greek '''Σ''', whereas the ligatures '''Ð Þ''' were temporalily abandoned: A B Γ Ω D D` E W Z H Θ Θ` J K X L M N C O P Ç Ç' Q R Σ Σ' T T` In November 885 CE, the remaining Greek letters '''Γ Ω Θ Θ` Σ''' were replaced by Latin letters '''G G` T¸ Þ¸ ''' and '''Ð Þ''' were reintroduced, whereas '''Ω''' was abandoned: A B G G` D Ð E W Z Η T¸ Þ¸ J K X L M N C O P Ç Ç' Q R S S' T Þ The reform at the begining of the XV century changed the orthography of laryngeals and vowels: ¨ b g gh d ð ¨h w z ªh t¸ þ¸ j k x l m n c ºh p ç ç' q r s s' t þ Before the reform, the vowel ''a'' was not written and was considered to be implicitly contained in the letters for consonants. When the mark ''':''' (called '''se¨ewatu''' "emptiness") was placed after the consonat, it canceled this inherent ''a''. When the vowel '''V''' or '''I''' was placed immediatelly after the consonat, it contracted with the inherent ''a'' to ''o'' and ''e'' respectivelly. Thus for exapmle, the word '''beºhlatu''' "lady" was written '''BIO:LT:V'''. ===Pronunciation=== The two main dialects differs in the pronunciation of sibilants. In more archaic Upper Ged¨hi, '''c''' is the voiceless alveolar affricate and '''s''' is the voiceless alveolar fricative, whereas in Lower Ged¨hi, '''c''' is the voiceless alveolar fricative and '''s''' is the voiceless postalveolar fricative. The standard language avoids the ambiguous voiceless alveolar fricative and prescribes the pronunciation of '''c''' as in Upper dialect and '''s''' as in Lower dialect. In beletry, the dialect or sociolect of the speaking person can be marked in the direct speech: {| style="text-align:left" ! unmarked speech | c || s |- ! standard speech | c || s" |- ! archaic speech | c || ß |- ! coloquial speech | ß || s" |- ! debased speech | ß || ß |} * The standard speech is used by priests, actors, teachers, heralds, politicians, publicists. * The archaic speech is used by villagers, especially by elderly persons living in outlying areas of the Upper Land. * The coloquial speech is used especially by urban folk. * The debased speech is used mainly in slums. Along the East Coast, there is a continuum of dialects in which the northern sound '''g''' changes unconditionally through '''d"''' and '''g"''' to southern '''z"'''. In the Perhati dialect, '''g''' and '''k''' are palatalized before '''i''' to '''d"''' and '''t"''' respectively. ==Morphology== ===Declension=== * sg. ** nom. '''beºhlu''' "a lord", '''beºhlatu''' "a lady" ** gen. '''beºhli''' "of a lord", '''beºhlati''' "of a lady" ** acc. '''beºhla''' "a lord", '''beºhlata''' "a lady" ** dat.

'''beºhlujwo''' "to a pair of lords", '''beºhlujwato''' "to a pair of ladies" ====Articles==== Using of articles is not obligatory; definite article is nothing else than a deictic pronoun and the indefinite article is nothing else than a variant of the numeral "one". The indefinite article is also known as the existential quantifier; the general quantifier is '''kelu''' which with appositive case means "whole", with gen.pl. "all" and with gen.sg. "every": * '''kelu jewmu''' "every day" * '''kelu jewmí''' "all days" * '''kelu jewmi''' "whole day" In addition to the definite article '''su''' "the", there is also the article '''¨hu''' which is glossed as "The" or "He"; it marks uniqueness (absolute or local): * '''beºhlu''' "a lord", '''¨hu-beºhlu''' "the Lord" * '''¨elu''' "a god", '''¨hu-¨elu''' "the God" * '''¨erç'u''' "earth", '''¨hu-¨erç'u''' "the Earth" * '''þelþu''' "three", '''¨hu-þelþu''' "the Trinity" * '''gedu''' "a grandfather", '''¨hu-gedu'''"our forefather" * '''melku''' "a king", '''¨hu-melku''' "our king" * '''peru''' "mansion", '''¨hu-peru''' "our king's residence" Also "the Church (catholic)"; "the Party (comunistic)"; "the Prophet (Muhammad)"; "the Cross"; "our duke"; "our president"; "our director"; "our chief, captain, principal"; "our boss"; "our empire"; "our shire"; "our capital"; "our city"; "our village". As any other appositive attribute, it may be placed also after the word: * '''¨hu-beºhlu''' = '''beºhlu-¨hu''' "the Lord" * '''¨hu-¨elu''' = '''¨elu-¨hu''' "the God" * '''¨hu-gedu''' = '''gedu-¨hu''' "our forefather" * '''¨hu-peru''' = '''peru-¨hu''' "our king's residence" ====Mimation==== The '''-m''' placed at the end of a nominal form marks the end of a phrase. Mimation is absent before an attribute (appositive or genitive) and before pause (comma or full stop). * ¨Hu-ðum c'aru danu. "This is a mighty prince." * ¨Hu-ðhu c'arum danu. "This prince is mighty." * ¨Hu-ðum beºhlatu bejti. "This is the lady of the house." * ¨Hu-ðu beºhlatum bejti. "This lady is at home." ====Appositive==== Unlike most Sem. and IE. languages, there is no congruency, but the second word is in the appositive case, which is formally identical with the nominative. OBab. "mighty king", "mighty queen"<br> sg.nom. šarrum dannum, šarratum dannatum<br> sg.gen. šarrim dannim, šarratim dannatim<br> sg.nom. šarram dannam, šarratam dannatam<br> pl.nom. šarru: dannu:tum, šarra:tum danna:tum<br> pl.gen. šarri: dannu:tim, šarra:tim danna:tim<br> Gd.

"This is the lady of the house." * ¨Hu-ðu beºhlatum bejti. "This lady is at home." ====Terminative==== The terminative is identical with the dative. * '''¨elek bejto''' "go home" Several terminative forms was retained also in Hebrew: * '''hero''' "to a mountain"; Hebr. h>era:H * '''meçruwjo''' "into Egypt"; Hebr. mis.r>ajma:H * '''ºhejro''' "into a/the city"; Hebr. ha:¿>iJra:H "into the city" ====Plural==== Plural suffix for nouns is '''-uw-''' inserted ''before'' the nominal gender marker (na. '''-it-''', f. '''-at-''', ni. '''-ot-'''). Plural suffix for pronouns is '''-n''' placed ''after'' the pronominal gender marker (m. '''-a-''', f. '''-i-'''). It is ancient AA. feature. * 1p.sg. '''-j''' "my" (Eg. '''.i''') * 1p.pl. '''-jun'''"our" (Eg. '''.n''') * 2p.sg. '''-k''', m. '''-ka¨''', f. '''-ki¨''' "thy" (Eg. m. '''.k''', f. '''t_''') * 2p.pl. '''-kun''', m. '''-kan''', f. '''-kin''' "your" (Eg. '''.t_n''') * 3p.sg. '''-s''', m. '''-sa¨''' "his", f. '''-si¨''' "her" (Eg. m. '''.f''', f. '''.s''') * 3p.pl. '''-sun''', m. '''-san''', f. '''-sin''' "your" (Eg. '''.sn''') It seems that Eg. '''t_''' is from AA. '''k''' palatalised before f. pronomial marker '''i'''. ====Dual==== Compare the form of Ged¨hi dual with Egyptian: * sg. '''¨exu''' "brother", '''¨exatu''' "sister", (Eg. sn, snt) * pl. '''¨exú < ¨exuwu''' "brothers", '''¨exátu < ¨exuwatu''' "sisters", (Eg. snw, snwt) * du. '''¨exujwu''' "2 brothers", '''¨exujwatu''' "2 sisters", (Eg. snwj, sntj) ===Personal pronouns=== Personal pronouns have in nominative different stem than in other cases. Standalone nominatives have its stems prefixed by '''¨en-'''. In other Sem. languages, the final '''n''' of the preffix was assimilated to '''t''' of the 2p. The 3rd person pronoun can take either personal endings or nominal endings. Other Sem. languages have only one, common gender in 1p. and two genders, m. and f., in 2nd and 3rd person. Ged¨hi can use all three genders (c., m., f.) in all three persons. Masculine form of 3p. is in other Sem. languages similar to the common form in Ged¨hi. {| ! sg. ! 1p. !! 2p. !! 3p. |- ! nom. | ¨en¨u, ¨- || ¨entu, t- || ¨enju, j- |- ! gen. | ji || ki || si |- ! acc. | ja || ka || sa |- ! dat. | jo || ko || sa |} :sg.1p. ¨en¨u¨u "I" (OBab. ana:ku; Hebr. ?a:|no:kiJ, ?/aniJ) :sg.1p.m ¨en¨a¨u :sg.1p.f ¨en¨i¨u :sg.2p. ¨entu¨u "thou" :sg.2p.m. ¨enta¨u (OBab. atta:; Hebr. ?atta:H) :sg.2p.f. ¨enti¨u (OBab. atti:; Hebr. ?att/ < :attiJ) :sg.3p. ¨enju¨u, su¨u (OBab. šu:; Hebr. hU2?) :sg.3p.m. ¨enja¨u, sa¨u, su "he" :sg.3p.f. ¨enji¨u, si¨u, satu "she" (OBab. ši:; Hebr. hiJ?) :sg.3p.n. sotu "it" :pl.1p. ¨en¨unu "we" (OBab. ní:nu; Hebr. ?a/n>ah.nU2) :pl.2p. ¨entunu "ye" (OBab. attunu; Hebr. ?attem) :pl.2p.m. ¨entanu :pl.2p.f. ¨entinu (OBab. attina; Hebr. ?atten) :pl.3p. ¨enjunu, sunu "they" (OBab. šunu; Hebr. h>e:mma:H, he:m) :pl.3p.m. ¨enjanu, sanu, su: :pl.3p.f. ¨enjinu, sinu, sa:tu (OBab. šina; Hebr. h>e:nna:H, he:n) ===Possessive pronouns=== Possessive forms are double declined - another case ending is added after the genitive ending with mimation. :sg.1p.m.sg.m.nom. kimu "thy" (OBab. ku^m) :sg.1p.m.sg.m.gen. kimi (OBab. ke^m) :sg.1p.m.sg.m.acc. kima (OBab. ka^m) :sg.1p.f.sg.m.nom. katimu (OBab. kattum) :pl.1p.m.sg.m.nom. kímu "your" (OBab. kuttun) :pl.1p.f.sg.m.nom. kátimu (OBab. *kattun) Also nouns can occur in possessive form: :'''Beºhlatimo (¨heklu)''' "to Lady's (temple)" ===Conjugation=== :imv. weseb "sit" :abstr. wesebu "sitting" :ger. liweseb "a-sitting" :inf. loweseb "to sit" :pret. jawseb "he sat" :pres. jaweseb "he sits" * basic stem (peºhelu "doing") ** jawseb "he sat" ** tawseb "thou sat" ** ¨awseb "I sat" ** jawseban "they sat" ** tawseban "ye sat" ** ¨awseban "we sat" * heavy stem, intensive (mupeºhelu "doing heavily") ** juwseb "he sat heavily" ** tuwseb "thou sat heavily" ** ¨uwseb "I sat heavily" ** juwseban "they sat heavily" ** tuwseban "ye sat heavily" ** ¨uwseban "we sat heavily" * light stem (mipeºhelu "doing slightly") ** jiwseb "he sat slightly" ** tiwseb "thou sat slightly" ** ¨iwseb "I sat slightly" ** jiwseban "they sat slightly" ** tiwseban "ye sat slightly" ** ¨iwseban "we sat slightly" * causative stem (sipeºhelu "causing to do") ** jasiwseb "he set" ** tasiwseb "thou set" ** ¨asiwseb "I set" ** jasiwseban "they set" ** tasiwseban "ye set" ** ¨asiwseban "we set" * causative pasive stem (supeºhelu "being caused to do") ** jasuwseb "he was set" ** tasuwseb "thou wert set" ** ¨asuwseb "I was set" ** jasuwseban "they were set" ** tasuwseban "ye were set" ** ¨asuwseban "we were set" * causative reflexive stem (sapeºhelu "causing self to do") ** jasiwseb "he set himself" ** tasiwseb "thou set thyself" ** ¨asiwseb "I set mysels" ** jasiwseban "they set themselves" ** tasiwseban "ye set yourselves" ** ¨asiwseban "we set ourselves" * basic stem (peºhelu "doing") ** jawbel "he brought" * pasive stem (nupeºhelu "being done") ** januwbel "he was brought" * reflexive stem (napeºhelu "doing self") ** janawbel "he brought himself" ===Numerals=== #'''ºhedu''' "one" #'''þenu''' "two" #'''þelþu''' "three" #'''rebºhu''' "four" #'''xemsu''' "five" #'''sedsu''' "six" #'''sebºhu''' "seven" #'''þemnu''' "eight" #'''tesºhu''' "nine" #'''ºhes'ru''' "ten" #'''meAhrimu, re¨simu''' "first" #'''þenenu''' "second" #'''þeleþu''' "third" #'''rebeºhu''' "fourth" #'''xemesu''' "fifth" #'''sedesu''' "sixth" #'''sebeºhu''' "seventh" #'''þemenu''' "eighth" #'''teseºhu''' "nineth" #'''ºhes'eru''' "tenth" =Vocabulary= The small [[Ged¨hi Dictionary]] contains now about 250 words.

Long vowels are indicated by the accute accent whereas the umlaut diacritic indicates the fronting of the back vowels /a/ and /u/. In addition to the basic pronunciation of vowels Anaureth also has a rather large selection of dipthong vowels, which play an important role in both noun and verbal declensions. Luckily the pronunciation for both vowels and consonants is always regular, which means that the pronunciation always remains the same. Anaureth has 12 vowels and 21 consonants, with a total of 35 letters in the alphabet.

Consonant clusters tend to occure at the end of Anaureth words, although they may sometimes occure at the beginning or in the middle of various words. In Anaureth the consonant clusters include: ds, dy, jh, lh, ly, nh, ny, ph, rh, rr, rs, th, tr, ts, ty, and wh. There are no triconsonants in Anaureth. <br/> <div style="text-align: left;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labio-dental ||colspan=2| Labio-velar ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post- alveolar ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Uvelar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}} || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p, b}} || || || || || || || || {{IPA|t, d}} || || || || {{IPA|c }} || || ||{{IPA|k, g}} || || {{IPA|q}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f, v}} || || || || {{IPA|θð}} || || {{IPA|z, s}} || || {{IPA|tʃ, Ʒ}} || || || || || {{IPA|x}} || || || || {{IPA|h}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ʤ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || || || || || {{IPA|w}} || || || {{IPA|ɹ}} || || || || {{IPA|j}} || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} == Vowel change == Vowel mutation commonly occures among the last or second-before-last letter of a Singular word when it becomes a Plural. For example, in English the word "man" becomes "men" in the plural form. This also occures in Anaureth, although it occures more frequently than in English. For example, although some words like "man" might undergo a limitted degree of vowel change to form the plural word "men" other words such as "mat" and "mats" don't. Instead the plural form often relies on the infliction /s/. In Anaureth all plurals undergo some sort of vowel mutation. For example the final vowel in the word "verinef" ''(plant)'' "e" becomes "i" in the plural form "verinif" ''(plants)''. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! '''Description''' !! '''Mutation''' !!

'''Group 3''' || Singular words that have a dipthong as the second-before-last letter || drop the final vowel || - |- |} == Consonant mutation == Consonant Mutation is the phenomenon in which a consonant in a word is changed according to it's morphological and/or stynatic environment. In Anaureth consonant mutation occures among the following consonants: /b/, /c/, /d/, /g/, /p/, and /t/. Anaureth has two forms of consonant mutation: soft mutation and an aspirate mutation. Soft mutation turns the plosives /c/, /p/ and /t/, into the voiced consonants /g/, /b/ and /t/, whereas the voiced consonants /b/ and /d/ become soft, changing into the consonants /f/ and /dd/. Various rules apply when it comes to consonant mutation. Like vowel mutation, consonant mutation occures among final consonants in the un-inflicted word upon recieving the infliction whilst ignoring any consonat among the infliction itself. Consonants tend to stay in the radical form when the consonant that would normally undergo mutation is part of a consonant cluster or when the consonant follows a short vowel. Soft mutation occures when the plosives /c/, /p/ and /t/, directly follow a long vowel, whereas the aspirate mutation tends to occure among consonants that follow a vowel dipthong. The table below demonstrates the various forms of consonant mutation. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! '''Radical''' !! '''Soft''' !! '''Aspirate''' |- | b || f || - |- | c || g || ch |- | d || dd || - |- | p || b || ph |- | t || d || th |} == Nouns== A Noun is a person, place, or thing. In total, Anaureth has eight noun cases. The noun cases include the nominative case which indicates the subject of a finite verb, the accusative case which indicates the direct object of a verb, the dative case which indicates the indirect object of a verb, the ablative case which indicates the object of most common prepositions, the genitive case which indicates the possessor of another noun, the vocative case which indicates an adressee, the locative case which indicates a location, and the instrumental case which indicates an object used in performing an action. The infliction for noun case always occures directly after the first consonant in a word, and not at the end of the word as in most grammatical cases in Anaureth. Nouns decline for both number (singular, dual, and plural) and gender (masculine, feminine). The declensions for number and gender are merged together. The number is detirmined through the length of the vowel. The vowel is always left unmarked in the singular number, whereas in both the dual and plural number the vowel is marked with an accute diacritic which is then followed by a consonant and the vowel /a/ in the plural number. The gender is always marked with one of two vowels. The masculine gender is marked with either of the vowels /e/ or /é/ and the femine gender is marked with either of the vowels /a/ or /á/. == Articles == An article helps to link one word to another. Anaureth has five articles. The articles include a definate article which is used before singular, and plural word forms that refer to a particular member of a group, such as the word "the" in the sentence, "the cat is on the mat," and a indefinate article which is used only before singular word forms that refer to any member of a group, such as the word "a" in the sentence, "a cat is a mammal." Both the definate and indifinate article are placed before the noun or verb. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! '''Masculine''' !! !! '''Feminine''' |- ! !! '''Singular''' !! '''Plural''' !! '''Singular''' !! '''Plural''' |- ! '''Definate''' || ne ''(the)'' || né ''(the)'' || na ''(the)'' || ná ''(the)'' |- ! '''Indifinate''' |el ''(a)'' || - || - || - |- |} == Prepositions == A preposition is a word that introduces a prepositional phrase. For example in the sentence, "the cat sleeps on the sofa," the word "on" is a preposition, introducing the phrase, "on the sofa." In both English and Anaureth the most common prepositions are "of", "to", "in", "for", and "on." However, Anaureth has a greater number of prepositions, this is because prepositions often inflict before personal pronouns. For example: :Ne ter ales ''jet'''e''' den''. :The book belongs ''to me''. :Ne ter ales ''jet'''en''' viran''. :The book belongs ''to him''. :Na ter ''jet'''an''' dei''. :The book belongs ''to her''. :Ne ter ''jet'''es''' adan''. :The book belongs ''to them.'' == Correlatives == A correlative is a word that is often used to form a question. For example, in English the correlatives include: Who, what, when, where, why and how. Anaureth uses a similar set of correlatives, although the rules are more like the rules in Esperanto than in Enlgish. In English the correlatives all begin with the consonant cluster "wh" except for "how." Like Esperanto, the correlatives in Anaureth all begin with the the consonant /t/ including the word "how." Anaureth also has a select group of particles which correspond to each of the above correlatives. *"ta" ''(who, which)'' & "da" ''(that, that one)'' :''Who'' does that book belong to? :''That'' book belongs to her. :''Which'' house do you live in? :I live in ''that one''. *"te" ''(what)'' & "de" ''(that, that thing)'' :''What'' is that site? :''That'' site is Frathwiki. :''What'' is that? :''That thing'' is a bottle opener. *"tei" ''(what kind of)'' & "dei" ''(that kind of, such)'' :''What kind of'' breed is that dog? :''That kind of'' dog is a labrador. :''What kind of'' books does she like to read? :She like to read books ''such'' as Lord of the Rings. *"ti" ''(when)'' :''When'' will you arrive? *"to" ''(where)'' & "do" ''(there, in that place)'' :''Where'' is he? :He is ''there''. :''Where'' did he go? :He went ''in that place.'' *"tu" ''(how)'' & "du" ''(in that way, so)'' :''How'' does this work? :It works like this, ''in that way''. :''How'' did it go? :''So'' what did they think of it? == Pronouns == A pronoun is a word that replaces another noun or pronoun. Pronouns, like nouns and verbs, distinguish between two numbers singular (one person), and plural (two persons). The pronouns also destinguish between inlclusive and exclusive. For example there is a inclusive "de" ''(we)'' and a exclusive "des" ''(we)''. Anaureth speakers are also particularly concerned with familiarity and politeness in speech. For example there is a familiar "ara" which is used when the speaker is speaking to family and friends, and a "aran" ''(you)'' which is used when the speaker is speaking to various people outside of their group of family and friends. In High Anaureth pronouns were far more complicated. This was mainly because there was three number singular (one person), dual (two persons), and plural (three or more persons). The pronouns also had different endings depending on the function that they served in the sentence. For example there was "ar" ''(you)'' which indicated the "you" subject pronoun, and "ari" ''(you)'' which marked the "you" object pronoun. This feature was later dropped in both Middle and Low Anaureth so "ar" ''(you)'' was used for both the subject and the oject "you." '''Singular Pronouns:''' {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! !!

'''3rd person''' || || ada ''(they)'' || adan ''(them)'' || adaneth'' (themselves)'' |- |} == Verbs == Verbs are words that descibe actions. For instance in the sentence, "the dog ran across the road," the word "ran" is a example of a verb. Anaureth verbs are a complex area in Anaureth grammar with a conjugation scheme that allows for X tenses, X moods, X aspect and X voice. Verbs are conjugated by isolating the stem of the verb and adding the ending. The ending depends on the tense, aspect, mood and the voice of the verb. '''Tense:''' The tense is used to express the time when an action occured. Anaureth has five tenses. The tenses include the past tense, which indicate actions that occured in the past; the present-tense, which indicates actions that occured in the present; the aorist tense, which is used as an alternative present tense; the near-future tense, which indicates actions that will occure within the next few weeks, months, and years; and the future-tense, which indicates actions that will occure in some years time. The following inflictions are added at the ''end'' of a verb, as a suffix. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! '''Regular''' !! '''Irregular''' |- ! '''Past''' || el || l |- ! '''Present''' || en || n |- ! '''Future''' || es || s |- |} '''Aspect:''' The aspect is similar to tense in that it helps to describe the time when the action occured. The Aspect is divided into past and present active. The past active includes subjects such as the past simple, which indicates an action that took place in the past (I ate); the past progressive, which indicates an action took place in the past (I was eating); the past perfict, which indicates an action that was completed in the past with respect to the past (I had eaten); and the past perfict progressive, which indicates an action that was completed recently with resepct to the past (I had been eating). The present active includes subjects such as the present simple, which indicates an action that occured in the past and continues to the present (I eat); the present progressive, which indicates an incomplete action that is currently occuring (I was eating); the present perfict, which indicates a completed action with resepect to the present (I had eaten); and the present perfict progressive, which indicates an action that was completed recently in resepect to the present (I had been eating). The Aspect does not have a verb ending. Instead the Aspect is indicated by prepositions which are inflicted to show past, present, and future. '''Mood:''' The Mood includes subjects such as the indicative, which indicates statements and questions; the conditional, which indicates that the action expressed by the verb may not actually happen; the imperitive, which indicates commands; the operative, which indicates hopes or wishes; the potential, which indicates that the action expressed by the verb is likely to happen although it's not certain; and the eventive, which is a combination of the potential and the conditional. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! '''Infliction''' |- ! '''Indicative''' || ae |- ! '''Conditional''' || ai |- ! '''Imperitive''' || ea |- ! '''Imperitive''' || ei |- ! '''Operative''' || eu |- ! '''Potential''' || oi |- ! '''Eventive''' || ou |- |} '''Voice:''' The voice indicates the relationship between the action (or state) that the verb expresses and the participants identified by it's arguments (subject, object etc.) In Anauran there are two types of voice: the active, and passive voice. The active voice, indicates the agent of the verb; and the passive voice, indicates the subject is the target of the verb. This has been demonstrated in the sentences below: For example, in the sentence: :''The cat ate the mouse.'' the verb "ate" is in the ''active'' voice, whilst in the sentence: :''The mouse was eaten by the cat.'' the phrase "was eaten" is in the ''passive'' voice. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! '''Infliction''' !! '''Example''' |- ! '''Active''' || a || saren'''a''' ''(ate)'' |- ! '''Passive''' || o || sarel'''o''' ''(eaten)'' |- |} == Adverbs == Adverbs describe how, when, and where an action took place. For example in the sentence, "Jane drives slowly," the word "slowly" is an adverb. Adverbs are formed from basic verbal roots which are then given the infliction /ra/. == Adjectives == An adjectove is a word that modifies another noun or pronoun. For example in the sentence, "that is a tall building," the word "tall" is an adjective.

It is a derivative of [[neomonarchism]]. Popular Monarchies are characterized by a strong central monarch with an equally-strong democratically-elected parliament, containing a body with life terms. Often times, the monarch is elected, or at least, subject to approval by the people. The Monarch, and other life-serving officials, can be recalled by popular referendum, and the monarch may be deposed if the government finds that they have been acting contrary to the interests of the people. The most notable Popular-Monarchist state is the People's Kingdom of [[Zobar]].

Тохарский язык ''Tokharskiy yazyk'', 'the Tocharian language') == The Ajchrip alphabet == This Cyrillic alphabet for Modern Tocharian was created by the 19th century monk Ajchrip (Айхрiп) as an improvement of the Cyrillic spelling of his native language previously used by Russian missionaries. To make a long story short the misssionaries' spelling revealed a thick Russian accent, failing to distinguish sounds which sounded alike to a Russian ear. It is to this day debated whether the missionaries could actually not hear the difference between the sounds in question, or if they were only at a loss how to spell them differently, in each case using the letter for the closest Russian phoneme. When expanding the alphabet Ajchrip worked with what he had, viz. a set of Russian Cyrillic moveable type. He used several methods to expand his inventory of letters: # To use letters which were allographs for a single sound in the 19th century Russian alphabet for different phonemes in his native language. # To turn the letters which the missionaries had used for two different sounds upside down to get a new letter for the sound missing in Russian. This was easy to do in moveable type but is hard to reproduce on computers. # Digraphs, used especially to distinguish alveopalatal fricatives and affricates from their retroflex counterparts. The digraph НГ нг was taken over from the missionaries' spelling, since it was in fact unambiguous. Note that in the modern language it contrasts with the spelling н'г in loanwords like дин'гі, which were formerly spelled in the Russian way (денги). # In one case, Ъ ъ, he used a letter which was always silent in Russian for a sound not found in that language. He had plenty of Ъ ъ type, since that letter was used vacuously after every word-final consonant in 19th century Russian orthography. <table> <tr> <th align="left" style="width: 11%;">Letter</th> <th align="left" style="width: 11%;">Romanization</th> <th align="left" style="width: 11%;">IPA</th> <th align="left" style="width: 39%;">Comment</th> </tr><tr> <td align="left">А а</td> <td align="left">a</td> <td align="left">/a/</td> <td align="left"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Б б</td> <td align="left">b</td> <td align="left">[b]</td> <td align="left">In complementary distribution with [mb].</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">В в</td> <td align="left">v</td> <td align="left">/β/</td> <td align="left"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Г г</td> <td align="left">h</td> <td align="left">/ɣ/</td> <td align="left"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">’Г ’г</td> <td align="left">g</td> <td align="left">[g]</td> <td align="left">An allophone, mainly occurring word-initially, of /ŋ/, but not distinguished from Г г /ɣ/ in the Russian missionaries’ spelling.</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Д д</td> <td align="left">d</td> <td align="left">[d]</td> <td align="left">In complementary distribution with [nd].</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Е е</td> <td align="left">jo</td> <td align="left">/ʑo, ʲo/</td> <td align="left"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Ж ж</td> <td align="left">ż</td> <td align="left">/ʐ/</td> <td align="left"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">ЖЬ жь</td> <td align="left">j</td> <td align="left">/ʑ/</td> <td align="left">When not preceded or followed by a vowel.

This made all the above consonant allophones phonemic, with the important exception that there were no {{IPA|/b d dzæ#ɨɐ0ʲdʒ g/}} but rather {{IPA|/m͡b/}} etc. Later changes include: * a &gt; ə * β &gt; w * ew &gt; ju * oj &gt; jo * ej &gt; e Old Tocharian /e/ ̩ {{IPA|[ɛ]}} * ow &gt; o Old Tocharian /o/ ̩ {{IPA|[ɔ]}} * aj &gt; æː &gt; æ * aw &gt; ɒː &gt; ɒ &gt; ɔ * j &gt; /ʑ/ * ʑ &gt; &quot;/j/&quot; * ʐ &gt; ʒ * ɕ, ʂ &gt; ʃ * sθ, ʃθ &gt; θ * ʃx &gt; x * zj, ʒj, ðj, rj &gt; j * sj, ʃj, θj &gt; ɕ * nj &gt; ɲ * lj &gt; ʎ * [nasal] &gt; Ø / #_ [voiced stop] * ŋg, ŋɣ &gt; ŋ * ɸ &gt; f * w &gt; ʋ Needless to say these changes will also bring havoc in the inflexional system...

Perhaps even it still is, so that the letters hitherto Latinized ''ju ja'' actually have front rounded allophones, with an actual {{IPA|[j]}} occuring only word initially and intervocallically, and Middle Tocharian ''*ji'' and ''*i'' merge. Instead there is a distinction between low mid and low front vowels.

Obviously the Cyrillic needs to be adjusted. For totally implausible reasons I wanted to have jat' as {{IPA|/æ/}} and {{IPA|/ə/}} as ''ä''! :-) The odious turned square E goes out unmourned. Otherwise the inventory of the Ajchrip alphabet would be the same even though some of the correspondences to O.Toch. phonemes would be different. <blockquote>This Ajchrip alphabet, did you devise it especially for Tocharian? </blockquote> Yes. <blockquote><blockquote>The text doesn't seem to mention it. </blockquote></blockquote> No, because I asked for input on what people on CONLANG thought about the phoneme to letter mappings without prejudicing them by telling about the Tocharian connexion. Yitzik didn't like my use of turned Cyrillic letters, but I think it makes perfect sense in the conhistory -- plus that э and the Ukrainian є really suggest this, and even Yitzik had to admit that Russians hear {{IPA|[θ]}} and {{IPA|[ð]}} as {{IPA|[s]}} and {{IPA|[z]}}! :-) I didn't mention either that Ajchrip was a ''Buddhist'' monk. His name is from the Sanskrit ''Hájagríva''(*here's* Sanskrit transliteration ''Hāyagrīva'') &quot;The Horse-headed&quot;, thus yet another incarnation of myself! Perhaps he should be Ѣхріп ''Eachrip'' now. I kind of like the idea of his name beginning with Jat'! I wonder what Middle and Modern orthography in the Brahmi script is like. I guess the Cä letters could come in handy for missing voiced fricative letters, long vowel signs for back/unjotized/higher vowels and short vowel signs for front/jotized/lower vowels although that would have been a slow and painful process.

Monosyllabic words contain no accent, unless followed by an enclitic. {|border=1 |i=No| Greek |c=01| Athonite |c=02| Latin |c=03| Pronunciation |c=04| IPA |- |i=No| α |c=01| α |c=02| a<br>ä |c=03| f'''a'''ther when accented<br>b'''u'''t otherwise |c=04| /a/<br>/ʌ/ |- |i=No| αι |c=01| ɛ |c=02| e |c=03| b'''e'''d |c=04| /ɛ/ |- |i=No| αυ |c=01| αυ |c=02| af, äf<br>av, äv |c=03| before voiceless consonants<br>before voiced consonants |c=04| /af/, /ʌf/<br>/av/, /ʌv/ |- |i=No| β |c=01| β |c=02| v |c=03| '''v'''ine |c=04| /v/ |- |i=No| γ |c=01| γ |c=02| g<br>j |c=03| Sp. va'''g'''ar before a, ø, o, u, & consonants<br>'''y'''es before e, i, y |c=04| /g/<br>/j/ |- |i=No| γγ |c=01| γγ |c=02| ng |c=03| si'''ng''' |c=04| ŋ |- |i=No| γκ |c=01| γκ |c=02| g |c=03| '''g'''o |c=04| g |- |i=No| γξ |c=01| γξ |c=02| nks |c=03| si'''ng''' + ly'''nx''' |c=04| /ŋks/ |- |i=No| γχ |c=01| γχ |c=02| nh |c=03| si'''ng''' + Ger. i'''ch''' |c=04| /ŋç/ |- |i=No| δ |c=01| δ |c=02| ð |c=03| '''th'''at |c=04| /ð/ |- |i=No| ε |c=01| ε |c=02| e |c=03| b'''e'''t |c=04| /ɛ/ |- |i=No| ει |c=01| ι |c=02| i |c=03| f'''ee'''t |c=04| /i/ |- |i=No| ɛυ |c=01| ɛυ |c=02| ef<br>ev |c=03| before voiceless consonants<br>before voiced consonants |c=04| /ɛf/<br>ɛv/ |- |i=No| ζ |c=01| ζ |c=02| z |c=03| '''z'''oo |c=04| /z/ |- |i=No| η |c=01| ι |c=02| i |c=03| f'''ee'''t |c=04| /i/ |- |i=No| θ |c=01| θ |c=02| þ |c=03| '''th'''in |c=04| /θ/ |- |i=No| ι |c=01| ι |c=02| i<br>y |c=03| b'''ee'''<br>'''y'''es between vowels |c=04| /i/<br>/j/ |- |i=No| κ |c=01| κ |c=02| k |c=03| '''k'''in |c=04| /k/ |- |i=No| λ |c=01| λ |c=02| l |c=03| '''l'''ong |c=04| /l/ |- |i=No| μ |c=01| μ |c=02| m |c=03| '''m'''at |c=04| /m/ |- |i=No| μπ |c=01| μπ |c=02| b |c=03| '''b'''at |c=04| /b/ |- |i=No| ν |c=01| ν |c=02| n |c=03| '''n'''ap |c=04| /n/ |- |i=No| ντ |c=01| ντ |c=02| d<br>nd |c=03| initially, '''d'''ot<br>medially, wi'''nd''' |c=04| /d/<br>/nd/ |- |i=No| ξ |c=01| ξ |c=02| x |c=03| a'''x''' |c=04| /ks/ |- |i=No| ο |c=01| ο |c=02| ø |c=03| '''awe''' |c=04| /ɔ/ |- |i=No| οι |c=01| ι |c=02| i |c=03| f'''ee'''t |c=04| /i/ |- |i=No| ου |c=01| oυ |c=02| ou |c=03| b'''oo'''t |c=04| /u/ |- |i=No| π |c=01| π |c=02| p |c=03| '''p'''it |c=04| /p/ |- |i=No| ρ |c=01| ρ |c=02| r |c=03| Sp. pe'''r'''o |c=04| /r/ |- |i=No| ς, σ |c=01| ς |c=02| s |c=03| '''z'''oo before voiced consonants<br>'''s'''ue before voiceless consonants |c=04| /z/<br>/s/ |- |i=No| τ |c=01| τ |c=02| t |c=03| '''t'''ap |c=04| /t/ |- |i=No| τζ |c=01| τζ |c=02| dz |c=03| rea'''ds''' |c=04| /ʣ/ |- |i=No| |c=01| τγ |c=02| j |c=03| '''j'''am |c=04| /ʣ/ |- |i=No| υ |c=01| υ |c=02| u |c=03| Fr. d'''u'''r |c=04| /y/ |- |i=No| φ |c=01| φ |c=02| f |c=03| '''f'''un |c=04| /f/ |- |i=No| χ |c=01| χ |c=02| h |c=03| Ger. i'''ch''' |c=04| /ç/ |- |i=No| ψ |c=01| ψ |c=02| ps |c=03| li'''ps''' |c=04| /ps/ |- |i=No| ω |c=01| ω |c=02| o |c=03| b'''oa'''t |c=04| /o/ |} =Grammar= ==The Articles== *<font color=red>Under the influence of Turkish</font>, there is neither a definite nor an indefinite article. ==Nouns== *There are no classes of nouns in Athonite. *There are three cases for the nouns in Athonite. **The nominative case is used for the subject of the sentence. **The genitive case is used to express possession or appurtenance ***<font color=blue>Παράθυρι ςπίτου μου ακάθαρτ.</font> My house's windows (are) filthy. **The accusative case is used for the object of verbs. ***<font color=blue>Σκύλο βλέπω.</font> I see a/the dog. **The accusative case is also used for the objects of prepositions. ***<font color=blue>καρδεςό μου ς' δουλό καθ πρωί πέρνω.</font> I take my brother to work every morning. **After some nouns it expresses their content. ***<font color=blue>Ποτίρο</font> <font color=red>ςούο</font> <font color=blue>θέλω</font>.</font> I want a glass of water. ===The Nominative Singular=== *The nominative singular has been formed by deleting the nominative singular ending of the Greek noun. **The accent remains on the same syllable if it is in the root, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>πατέρας</font> > <font color=blue>πατέρ</font>; <font color=blue>άνεμος</font> > <font color=blue>άνεμ</font>. **If the accent is on the ending, it reverts to the final syllable, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>αδελφή</font> > <font color=blue>αδέλφ</font>. **Nouns of the neuter declension characterized by an increase in the genitive in Greek use the genitive stem for the nominative, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ελπίς, ελπίδος</font> > <font color=blue>ελπίδ</font>. **Some nouns whose genitive stems end in consonant clusters, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>δέ'''νδρ'''ος</font>, drop the final consonant (<font color=blue>-ρος</font>) which gives the Athonite <font color=blue>δενδ</font>.

They are derived from Modern Greek adjectives in the same way as the nouns. *Adjectives precede the noun they modify. *Indeclinable adjective and noun are seen as a unit. This unit must have an accent, so one is added to the monosyllabic noun, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>καλ</font> + <font color=blue>πεδ</font> = <font color=blue>καλ πέδ</font>, good child; but in <font color=blue>μεγάλ πεδ</font>, big child, the accent for the unit is already there. **<font color=blue>καλ άγγελ</font>, good man **<font color=blue>καλ γυνέκ</font>, good woman **<font color=blue>καλ πέδ</font>, good child **<font color=blue>μεγάλ κιπ</font>, large garden **<font color=blue>μεγάλ πορτ</font>, large door **<font color=blue>μεγάλ δομάτ</font>, large room *The adjectives <font color=blue>αφτ</font>, 'this,' and <font color=blue>εκίν</font>, 'that,' follow the noun they modify. **<font color=blue>άγγελ αφτ</font>, this man **<font color=blue>κίπ αφτ</font>, this garden ('''N.B. the added accent''') **<font color=blue>γυνέκ αφτ</font>, this woman **<font color=blue>πέδ αφτ</font>, this child ('''N.B. the added accent''') **<font color=blue>εργάτ εκίν</font>, that worker **<font color=blue>νυχτ εκίν</font>, that night **<font color=blue>δομάτ εκίν</font>, that room *Negation is expressed by putting the negative particle <font color=blue>δεν</font> in front of the verb. **<font color=blue>Πρωίν έτιμ</font>, breakfast (is) ready. **<font color=blue>Πρωίν έτιμ δεν</font>, breakfast (is) not ready. **<font color=blue>Μπαρ γεμάτ δεν</font>, the bar (is) not full. **<font color=blue>Πόρτ αφτ μεγάλ δεν</font>, this door is not big. ('''N.B. the added accent''') ===The Possessive Adjectives=== {|border=1 |i=No| |c=01| singular |c=02| plural |- |i=No| 1. |c=01| <font color=blue>μου</font>, my |c=02| <font color=blue>μων</font>, our |- |i=No| 2. |c=01| <font color=blue>ςου</font>, your |c=02| <font color=blue>ςων</font>, your |- |i=No| 3. |c=01| <font color=blue>του</font>, his, her, its |c=02| <font color=blue>των</font>, their |} *Likewise, the possessive adjective and noun are seen as a unit. This unit must have an accent, so one is added to the monosyllabic noun. *These adjectives are placed after the nouns they modify. **<font color=blue>ςπιτ</font>, house; <font color=blue>ςπίτ μου</font>, my house **<font color=blue>φιλ</font>, friend; <font color=blue>φίλ μου</font>, my friend **<font color=blue>χέρ μου</font>, my hand **<font color=blue>ρατέρ ςου</font>, your father **<font color=blue>μιτέρ του</font>, her mother **<font color=blue>κίπ μων</font>, our garden **<font color=blue>κίπι μων</font>, our gardens **<font color=blue>λέπτ ςας</font>, your money **<font color=blue>κενούρ αμάξ</font>, new cart; <font color=blue>κενούρ αμάξ μου</font>, my new cart **<font color=blue>καλ φίλ μων</font>, our good friend ===Comparison of Adjectives=== *<font color=red>Under the influence of Turkish</font>, adjectives form the comparative degree only by placing the adverb <font color=blue>πιο</font> before them and not by adding a suffix. They are then followed by <font color=blue>από</font> and the accusative case. *<font color=blue>Πιο</font> is an enclitic and causes an accent on the following adjective if it doesn't already have one. **<font color=blue>O Μιχάλ πλους</font>, Michael (is) rich. **<font color=blue>καρδές μου πιο δυνάτ από καρδεςό ςου</font>, my brother (is) stronger than your brother. **<font color=blue>O Γιαν πιο φτόχ από O Κόςτο</font>, John is poorer than Costas. **<font color=blue>Σπίτ αφτ πιο κάλ από εκίνο</font>, This house is better than that one. **<font color=blue>Άφτοκίνετ αφτ πολύ πιο κίρ από άλο</font>, This automobile (is) much worse than the other. *Because Greek lacks a superlative degree distinct from the comparative, <font color=red>under the influence of Turkish</font>, adjectives form the superlative degree by placing the adverb <font color=red>εν</font> before them, followed by <font color=blue>ςε</font> and the genitive case. **<font color=blue>O Ανδρέ</font> <font color=red>'ν</font> <font color=blue>καλ μαθίτ ς' τάξου του</font>, Andrew (is) the best pupil in his class. **<font color=blue>Πατέρ του</font> <font color=red>εν</font> <font color=blue>πλούς ς' Αθίνου</font>, Her father is the richest man in Athens. **<font color=blue>I Ελέν</font> <font color=red>εν</font> <font color=blue>ωρέ γυνέκ ς' Ελάδου ίτε</font>, Helen was the most beautiful woman in Greece. *The comparison of inferiority is expressed with <font color=blue>λιγώτ</font>, less, followed by <font color=blue>από</font> with the accusative. **<font color=blue>O Νικ λιγώτ έξυπ από O Κόςτο ίνε</font>, Nick is not as smart as Costa. *The comparison of equality is expressed by <font color=blue>τόςο...όςο κε</font> followed by the nominative. **<font color=blue>Πατέρ μου τόςο πλους όςο κε πατέρ ςου</font>, My father is as rich as your father. ===Intensification of Adjectives=== *Although the meaning of an adjective can be intensified by the use of words such as <font color=blue>πολύ</font>, the more common way to do so is by <font color=red>reduplication of the first letter</font>, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>καθάρ</font>, clean; <font color=blue>κάκαθαρ</font>, very clean, spic 'n' span. *The vowel between the two is the vowel of the first syllable, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>βαθ</font>, deep; <font color=blue>βάβαθ</font>, very deep, <font color=red>ταμ</font>, exact; <font color=red>τάταμ</font>, precise; but, <font color=blue>νορ</font>, early; <font color=blue>νόνορ</font>, very early. *If the adjective begins with a vowel, the reduplication consists of that vowel and a <font color=blue>π</font>, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ακρίβ</font>, dear; <font color=blue>άπακριβ</font>, very dear; <font color=blue>ωρέ</font>, beautiful; <font color=blue>ώπωρε</font>, very beautiful. *<font color=red>The reduplicated syllable receives the accent</font>, but no farther back than the antepenult, ''e.g.'', blue, <font color=blue>γαλαξί</font>; bright blue, <font color=blue>γαγάλαξι</font>. *Examples: **all, <font color=blue>ολ</font>; wholly <font color=blue>όπολ</font> **alone, <font color=blue>μον</font>; absolutely alone, <font color=blue>μόμον</font> **black, <font color=blue>μαυρ</font>;

Γιοργου βίβλο έδοςα</font>, I gave George a book. *When the objects are pronouns the genitive is put in front of the accusative and also in front of the verb, ''e.g.'',<font color=blue>Του το

του</font>, near him. *The genitive is also used after words denoting greeting, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>καλιμέρ ςας</font>, good morning to you; <font color=blue>καλινύχτ ςας</font>, good night; <font color=blue>Για ςού</font>, Good-bye (''to one person''). ===The Relative Pronoun=== *<font color=red>As in Turkish</font>, there is only one relative pronoun in Athonite: <font

six tenses are the present, the past, and the future, and their perfect counterparts. *Athonite verbs are divided into two classes, those in which the personal ending is not accented (I) and those in which the personal ending is accented (II). *The endings on the verbs are changed to denote person and number. *<font color=red>Under Turkish influence</font> only two irregular verbs remain. ==The

plural |- |i=No| 1. |c=01| <font color=blue>ίχα βλέπι</font>, I had seen |c=02| <font color=blue>ίχαμε βλέπι</font>, we had seen |- |i=No| 2. |c=01| <font color=blue>ίχες βλέπι</font>, you had seen

past perfect tense is more frequent than the present perfect. It is used to denote an event of the past which occurred before another event of the past. ===The Future Perfect Tense=== *The future perfect tense is formed by the future tense of the auxiliary verb <font color=blue>έχω</font> and the passive participle. {|border=1 |i=No| |c=01| singular |c=02| plural |- |i=No| 1. |c=01| <font color=blue>θα έχω βλεπομέν</font>, I shall have seen |c=02| <font color=blue>θα έχουμε βλεπομέν</font>, we shall have seen |- |i=No| 2. |c=01| <font color=blue>θα έχις βλεπομέν</font>, you will have seen |c=02| <font color=blue>θα έχετε βλεπομέν</font>, you will have seen |- |i=No| 3. |c=01| <font color=blue>θα έχι βλεπομέν</font>, he, she, it will have seen |c=02| <font color=blue>θα έχουν βλεπομέν</font>, they will have seen |} *The future perfect tense is used to denote an event in the future which will have occurred before another event in the future. ===The Indefinite Form=== *The indefinite form corresponds closely to what is called the infinitive in other languages. *The indefinite form is found only in the present tense. *Athonite verbs form the indefinite by adding <font color=blue>-ςω</font> to the present form minus the <font color=blue>-ω</font>. *Class I {|border=1 |i=No| |c=01| singular |c=02| plural |- |i=No| 1. |c=01| <font color=blue>βλέπ-ςω</font>, I want |c=02| <font color=blue>βλέπ-ςουμε</font>, we want |- |i=No| 2. |c=01| <font color=blue>βλέπ-ςις</font>, you want |c=02| <font color=blue>βλέπ-ςετε</font>, you want |- |i=No| 3. |c=01| <font color=blue>βλέπ-ςι</font>, he, she, it wants |c=02| <font color=blue>βλέπ-ςουν</font>, they want |} *Class II {|border=1 |i=No| |c=01| singular |c=02| plural |- |i=No| 1. |c=01| <font color=blue>αγαπ-ςώ</font>, I love |c=02| <font color=blue>αγαπ-ςάμε</font>, we love |- |i=No| 2. |c=01| <font color=blue>αγαπ-ςάς</font>, you love |c=02| <font color=blue>αγαπ-ςάτε</font>, you love |- |i=No| 3. |c=01| <font color=blue>αγαπ-ςά</font>, he, she, it love |c=02| <font color=blue>αγαπ-ςάν</font>, they love |} *The indefinite form is preceded by <font color=blue>να</font> and follows the main verb. **<font color=blue>Θέλω να βλέπςω</font>, I want to see. **<font color=blue>Θέλω ν' αγαπ-ςά</font>, I want him to love. ===The Imperative=== *The formation of the imperative is greatly simplified in Athonite. There are only two forms. *To form the present imperative, <font color=blue>-ε</font> for the singular and <font color=blue>-(ε)τε</font> for the plural replace the <font color=blue>-ω</font> of the indefinite. {|border=1 |c=01| singular |c=02| plural |- |c=01| <font color=blue>βλέπςε</font>, see |c=02| <font color=blue>βλέπςετε</font>, see |- |c=01| <font color=blue>αγαπςέ</font>, love |c=02| <font color=blue>αγαπςέτε</font>, love |} *To form the continuous imperative, <font color=blue>-ε</font> for the singular and <font color=blue>-(ε)τε</font> for the plural replace the <font color=blue>-o</font> of the present. {|border=1 |c=01| singular |c=02| plural |- |c=01| <font color=blue>βλέπε</font>, keep on seeing |c=02| <font color=blue>βλέπ(ε)τε</font>, keep on seeing |- |c=01| <font color=blue>αγαπέ</font>, keep on loving |c=02| <font color=blue>αγαπέτε</font>, keep on loving |} *A negative command is expressed by <font color=blue>μι</font> and the indefinite or present depending on whether the action is fixed or continuous. **<font color=blue>Μι τον αγαπςέ</font>, Do not love him. ===The Active Participle=== *A participle is an adjective derived from a verb. It modifies a noun, but may take an object like a verb. *The active participle indicates that the subject of the sentence is doing something. *It is formed by adding the ending <font color=blue>-οντ</font> (/<font color=blue>-ɔd</font>/)to the present stem. *Class I **<font color=blue>βλέπω</font> > <font color=blue>βλέποντ</font>, seeing *Class II **<font color=blue>αγαπώ</font> > <font color=blue>αγαπόντ</font>, loving *This participle can be used to modify a noun, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ρέοντ ποτάμ καθάρ ίνε</font> The flowing river is clear. *The active participle is used with the appropriate tense of <font color=blue>ίμε</font> to form progressive tenses. {|border=1 |c=01| present |c=02| <font color=blue>ίμε βλέποντ</font>, I am seeing, etc. |- |c=01| past |c=02|

ίμεν βλέποντ</font>, I will have been seeing, etc. |} ==The Passive Voice== *The passive voice denotes that the agent is being acted upon. *The simple forms of the passive in Modern Greek have been abandoned in favor of the Turkish use of <font color=red>-il</font>. ===The Present Tense=== *Class I {|border=1 |i=No| |c=01| singular |c=02| plural |- |i=No| 1. |c=01| <font

A - is put between syllables in cases where it would otherwise be ambiguous where the syllable boundary is. == Grammars == Word order is SOV. === Verb forms === All verbs have a single suffix containing grammatical content. The suffix has the following structure: 123V45. {| border=1 ! Phoneme slot ! Grammatical element ! Values |- | 1 | Aspect | */l/ = continuous *Ø = no aspect |- | 2 | Tense | */k/ = past *Ø = present *{{IPA|/kʰ/}} = gnomic past *{{IPA|/h/}} = gnomic present |- | 3 | Subject age | *{{IPA|/ɰ/}} = old */j/ = young *Ø = no subject (intransitive verb or reflexive voice) |- | V | Gender | */i/ = masculine subject, masculine direct object */e/ = masculine subject, feminine direct object */ɑ/ = masculine subject or direct object (intransitive verb or reflexive voide) */u/ = feminine subject, masculine direct object */y/ = feminine subject, feminine direct object */o/ = feminine subject or direct object (intransitive verb or reflexive voice) |- | 4 | Direct object age | */r/ = young */l/ = old *Ø = no direct object (intransitive verb or reflexive voice) |- | 5 | Voice | */p/ = reciprocal */t/ = reflexive *Ø = no voice |} Gwongbholü is a split-S type of language; therefore intransitive verb takes either a subject or an object as their argument. The verb usually takes an object if the it describes a passive action, in the sense that the action does not involve a lot of movement, like sleeping or standing. Note that the noun's case is marked on the verb and not on the noun itself. === Noun forms === ==== Noun classes ==== There are three different types of noun classes in Gwongbholü: gender, age and actual classes. All nouns bear all these class types. The gender is based on actual sex when talking of living beings; male beings getting the masculine and female beings getting the feminine gender. For mixed groups and animals whose gender is unknown, the speaker can use either gender (usually the masculine because of male normality). Objects that are typically used by women get the feminine gender, and vice versa. For other types of objects, the feminine gender corresponds to a yin-quality, and masculine gender to a yang-quality. But this division is somewhat arbitrary. The age class is relative to the speaker. The following table explains which age class should be used, depending on the speaker's and the referee's age (bear in mind that all numbers are only approximate). The rules are very complicated when the speaker is a child referring to another child, so even approximate numbers are hard to give. {| border=1 style="text-align: center; background: white; border: 1pt solid #000000;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: white;"| Age division |- style="vertical-align: center; width: 25px; font-size: 100%; height: 2em; border: 1pt solid #000000" !

Age and gender are only used in the verb suffix which encodes subject and/or object, but the third group of noun classes is used when forming plural number, genitive case, and in counters. {| border=1 style="text-align: center; background: white; border: 1pt solid #000000;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: white;"| Noun classes |- style="vertical-align: center; width: 25px; font-size: 100%; height: 2em; border: 1pt solid #000000" !

Examples |- | Round | Items with a round shape | Pot, bottle, ball |- | Long | Items with a long and narrow shape | Broom, sword, road |- | Cold | Things that are typically cold | Ice, snow, night |- | Warm | Things that are typically warm | Sun, fire, lamp |- | Shiny | Shiny or sparkly things | Star, armor, jewel |- | Grain | Powders and dry substances | Rice, salt, dust |- | Thin | Thin and bendy materials | Fabric, paper |- | Book | Things with writing on it | Book, scroll, inscription |- | Equipment | Miscellaneous man-made items | Oven, wagon, plow |- | Vital | Edibles and other things necessary for living | Vegetable, water, air |- | Tree | Trees (but not bushes) | Pine, bamboo, mulberry tree |- | Plant | Other non-edible plants and mushrooms | Rose-bush, grass, fly agaric |- | People | Pronouns, individuals, ethnic groups |- | Spirit | Non-concrete beings | God, demon, soul |- | Bird | Birds and insects that typically fly | Owl, crane, ladybug |- | Fish | Water-living creatures | Salmon, seal, frog, turtle, clam, sea slug |- | Reptile | Land-living reptiles and toads | Tortoise, snake, lizard, toad |- | Bug | Insects and other land-living bugs | Ant, spider, snail, centipede |- | Carnivore | Carnivore and omnivorous mammals | Tiger, fox, dog |- | Herbivore | Herbivore mammals | Yak, rabbit, mouse |} ==== Number ==== The singular is unmarked, while the plural is expressed with a suffix which depends on the noun's class: *Round - gerg *Long – ’jüng *Warm – hweg *Cold - zdzeg *Shiny - gyirg *Grain *Thin - werg *Book - rüg *Equipment - tenjh *Vital - shleng *Tree - nyig *Plant – tser *People - ghreg *Spirit *Bird – ir’ *Fish - züg *Reptile - khreg *Bug - gü *Carnivore – dhre’ *Herbivore – mü’ ==== Genitive case ==== There is both a [[#prepositions|preposition]] and two suffixes (alienable and inalienable) that can be used to form genitives. The preposition is only for [[wikipedia:Genitive|composition, origin, description and compound]] uses. The alienable suffix takes one of these forms depending on the noun class: *Round - gar *Long – ’jun *Warm - hwa *Cold - zdza *Shiny - gyirk *Grain *Thin - welb *Book - ru *Equipment - tandzh *Vital - shlan *Tree - nyi *Plant – tsal *People - ghra *Spirit *Bird – ’irg *Fish - züy *Reptile - khra *Bug - gu *Carnivore - hdrag *Herbivore – mu’ The inalienable suffix takes one of these forms: *Round - bar *Long – pjun *Warm - mwa *Cold - ntsa *Shiny - byirk *Grain *Thin - melb *Book - mru *Equipment - pandzh *Vital - mlan *Tree - myi *Plant – btsal *People - bhra *Spirit *Bird – pirg *Fish - müy *Reptile - phra *Bug - bu *Carnivore - ndrag *Herbivore – mu ==== Adjective nouns ==== There are no adjectives in Gwongbholü, all words that correspond to adjectives in English are nouns. The genitive case is used together with this noun to describe things: {| ! align="left" | Omtsh || align="left" | ro || align="left" | htakr |- | align="left" | woman || align="left" | of || align="left" | shortness |- | colspan="3" | ''A short woman'' |} {| ! align="left" | Htakr.bhra || align="left" | omtsh |- | align="left" | short-GEN.PEOPLE || align="left" | woman |- | colspan="2" | ''A short woman'' |} Some of these adjective nouns don't really have a determined gender, age and/or noun class. In that case it’s the same as for the noun it describes. === Numerals === *1 – ’tye *2 – tspi *3 – drang *4 – küm *5 – kümag’tye *6 – tspiri-drang *7 – kümagdrang *8 – bwaysul Gwongbholü has an octal numeral system. The names of numbers 9-15 consist of 'tyeüd + final digit, 17-23 of tspiüd + final digit, 25-31 of drangüd + final digit, etc. Number 16 is called tspihlemde, while the rest of the even numbers consist of the prefix together with -üd + hlemde. ==== Counters ==== When one is telling how many there are of a certain thing, the noun is followed by the number and a counter. The counter agrees with the noun's class: *Round - ga *Long – ’ju *Warm - hwi *Cold - zdzi *Shiny - gyir *Grain *Thin - wel *Book - ri *Equipment - tan *Vital - shla *Tree - nyi *Plant – tsa *People - ghri *Spirit *Bird – ’ir *Fish - zü *Reptile - khri *Bug - gi *Carnivore - hdri *Herbivore – mu Example: {| ! align="left" | Omtsh || align="left" | kümag’tyeüddrangghri |- | align="left" | woman || align="left" | five.ORD.three.PEOPLE |- | colspan="3" | ''43 women'' |} Ordinal numbers are formed by adding -üd after the counter. {| ! align="left" | Omtsh || align="left" | kümag’tyeüddrangghriüd |- | align="left" | woman || align="left" | five.ORD.three.PEOPLE.ORD |- | colspan="3" | ''The 43rd woman'' |} If the counter that the ordinal suffix is added to ends with a consonant, the consonant becomes an onset in the next syllable with the ü as nucleus.

Here you can read about '''Avorenta''' [ˈɒvorɛntɒ] which is '''created by Attila Répai''' in 2008. The word ’avorenta’ means 'regulated’, as Háfrigerrak and SPQ underwent a regularisation, the result of this is the Avorenta language. Its grammar is based on the Hungarian language, therefore it is an '''agglutinating language'''. Its dictionary contains over 2100 words, most of them are ficticious, but a few derive from Turkish, Lithuanian, Latin, Germanic and Celtic languages. The main advantages of Avorenta: *It has a logical grammar without a lot of exceptions. *Its vocabulary can be enlarged without restraint because we can form a large amount of words with suffixes. *Words are easy to pronounce. *We can express long English sentences very briefly.<br>eg. 'I and you could have taken them back down to the cellar' = ''Ájdivvélüstivemó l-ármoga.'' *We can express slight differences of importance with word order.<br>eg. ''I vínor ővixe gefűleó ha fereneldum.'' = 'When I was walking on the street, I saw one of my friends.'<br>''A fereneldum gefűleó hi vínor ővixe.'' = 'When I was walking on the street, I saw '''one of my friends'''.'<br>''Ővixe hi vínor gefűleó ha fereneldum.'' = ''''When I was walking''' on the street, I saw one of my friends.'<br>''Gefűleó ha fereneldum i vínor ővixe.'' = 'When I was walking on the street, '''I saw''' one of my friends.' ==Alphabet and pronounciation - Abece het átcórán== [[Image:Hafrigvotan.png|thumb|The alphabet of the Háfrigvotán (HGV) script]] ===Writing systems - Votánfádacche=== HGE is originally written with a unique script called '''Háfrigvotán''' [IPA: ˈhaːfrigˌvotaːn] (HGV) but the latin alphabet is more widely used. {| class="wikitable" ! colspan=10 |Vowels |- | rowspan=2 |'''Short''' |'''a'''||'''â'''||'''e'''||'''ê'''/'''ä'''||'''i'''||'''o'''||'''ö'''||'''u'''||'''ü'''/'''y''' |- |ɒ/a||a||ɛ||e||i||o||ø||u||y |- | rowspan=2 |'''Long''' | colspan=2 |'''á''' || colspan=2 |'''é''' ||'''í'''||'''ó'''||'''ő'''||'''ú'''||'''ű'''/'''ý''' |- | colspan=2 |aː|| colspan=2 |eː||iː||oː||øː||uː||yː |} {| class="wikitable" ! colspan=20 |Consonants |- | rowspan=2 |'''Voiced'''||'''b'''||'''d'''||'''dz'''||('''dź''')||'''g'''||'''v'''||'''z'''||('''ź''')||'''j'''||'''l'''||'''m'''||'''n'''||'''ń'''||'''q'''||'''r'''||'''w'''||colspan=3 rowspan=2| |- |b||d||ʣ||ʤ||g||v||z||ʒ||j||l||m||n||ɲ||k/ʦ||r||w |- | rowspan=2 |'''Unvoiced'''||'''p'''||'''t'''||'''c'''||'''ć'''||'''k'''||'''f'''||'''s'''||'''ś'''||colspan=8 rowspan=2| ||'''h'''||'''ch'''||'''x''' |- |p||t||ʦ||ʧ||k||f||s||ʃ||h||ç/x||ks |} Notes: *Dź and ź appear only in foreign words. *Q is pronounced as [k] before a, â, á, o, ó, u, ú and [ʦ] before e, ê, é, i, í, ö, ő, ü, ű. ===Linking vowels and consonants - Roêndögarce=== We use them to avoid consonant or vowel clusters. *Between words and suffixes we use a definite linking vowel (see below) *Between any types of words we use '''h-''' or '''ö-''' (eg. ''mínisse h-effár'', ''ortend ö-gnu'') That's why HGE has 6 forms of the words '''i''' ('the'), '''e''' ('and') and '''a''' ('a/an'). {| class="wikitable" ! !colspan=2 |i !colspan=2 |a !colspan=2 |e |- |'''V - V'''||'''hil'''<br>'''l-'''||réve hil afallum<br>réve l-afallum||'''had'''<br>'''d-'''||réve had afallum<br>réve d-afallum||'''het'''<br>'''t-'''||tága het esne<br>tága t-esne |- |'''V - C'''||'''hi'''||réve hi piktum||'''ha'''||réve ha piktum||'''he'''||tága he kecán |- |'''C - V'''||'''il'''<br>'''i h-'''||révest il afallum<br>révest i h-afallum||'''ad'''<br>'''a h-'''||révest ad afallum<br>révest a h-afallum||'''et'''<br>'''e h-'''||kecán et esne<br>kecán e h-esne |- |'''C - C'''||'''i'''||révest i piktum||'''a'''||révest a piktum||'''e'''||kecán e tága |} ==Grammar - Errakniff== ===Nouns and adjectives - Hênmisse he nilganmisse=== ====Noun and adjective declension - Hênmis- e nilganmispégońán==== Like Hungarian, '''HGE is an agglutinaing language'''. Nouns and adjectives can be in 18 cases either singular or in plural. Words does not have gender. Nouns can be divided into 5 groups: *Nouns ending in a consonant (eg. ''hutt'' 'house') *a-stem (eg. ''capta'' 'room') *e-stem (eg. ''pikte'' 'bag') *i-stem (eg. ''zülti'' 'thing') *u-stem (eg. ''histu'' 'news') Suffixes have two types: *Suffixes starting with a vowel (eg. ''-um, -áma'') *Suffixes starting with a consonant (These suffixes also have a linking vowel, which is to be used after a consonant. (eg. ''-(e)n, -(é)ti'') If you add a suffix starting with a vowel to a noun ending in a vowel, the original vowel at the end of the word disappears (eg. ''capta'' + ''-iri'' > ''capt-'' + ''-iri'' > ''captiri''). If the final vowel and the suffix is the same, we write a long vowel instead of both (eg. ''histu'' + ''-u'' > ''histú''). We don't use a linking vowel after words ending in an N, R or L (eg. ''veffel'' + ''-(i)s'' > ''veffels''). The ending -S changes into a -Z and -AU/-EU changes into -AW/-EW (eg. ''katas'' + ''-um'' > ''katazum'', ''bláneu'' > ''blánewio''). {| class="wikitable" ! Case ! Hungarian suffix ! HGE suffix<br>(singular) ! Example ! HGE suffix<br>(plural) !

Past tense is formed with the suffix '''-ó''' and future tense is formed with the suffix '''-á''' added to the conjugated D1 form. As there are only verbs ending in a consonant, we can add the suffixes without any changes.

Another way to express passive voice: add the '''-út''' formative before the personal suffix. *''Ille kataze mőr ''pellu bez'' '''ovverútestó'''.'' ('These books '''are read''' ''by'' many ''children'') *''La pemúr '''gerévút'''.'' ('That picture '''is seen'''.') ====The object of the action - I dífáns deveri==== Instead of using the accusative form of the personal pronoun, we can use the possessive suffix. Sample sentences: *''Réve veum.'' > ''Rév'''üst'''e.'' ('I watch them.') *''Ovvélivestó meum il ükóla.'' > ''Ovvél'''eld'''ivestó l-ükóla.''

(to avoid confusing them with ''ti'' ('you') and ''hi'' ('the')). '''Possessive pronouns''' are simply the genitive forms of personal pronouns. ====Demonstrative pronouns - Kívend elongömisse==== There are three types of demonstrative pronouns: *Demonstrative pronouns referring to a near object *Demonstrative pronouns referring to a distant object *General demonstrative pronouns {| class="wikitable" ! colspan=11 | Demonstrative pronouns referring to near or distant objects |- | rowspan=2 | ||this||that||this kind of||that kind of||as large as this||as large as that||so much/many<br>(near)||so much/many<br>(distant) |- |'''ill'''||'''la'''||'''nix'''||'''nax'''||'''fex'''||'''fax'''||'''vis'''||'''vas''' |- |'''a-'''||all||ala||anix||anax||afex||afax||avis||avas |- |'''e-'''||ell||ela||enix||enax||efex||efax||evis||evas |} The prefix '''a-''' means 'the same'. *''-¿Óle d-elong ö-katazum veri? -Gan, sítle h-'''alum'''.'' ('-Are you reading another book? -No, I'm still reading '''the same one'''.')

('There are '''as many''' apples in this basket than in the other.') The prefix '''e-''' means 'the other'. *''-¿Illu bissiru genéqwidamá? -Gan, '''ellu'''.''

Historically it was used as the lingua franca and literary language of the area, however now English has taken precedence. Ginhtköl is also the language closest to Proto-Gan. Much of the reconstruction done by modern linguists was based on Ginhtköl. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== Nasal: /m m̥ n n̥ ɲ/ <m mh n nh ng> <p>Plosive: /p b t d k g/ <p b t d k g> <p>Fricative: /f v θ ð s z ʃ/ <f v ð þ s z sj> <p>Affricate: /tʃ/ <tj> <p>Approximate: /j w ʍ/ <j w wh> <p>Trill: /r r̥/ <r rh> <p>Lateral: /l ɬ/ <l lh> <p>All consonants but [θ] [ð] [ʃ] and [tʃ] can be long. ===Vowels=== /ɑ e i o u æ ø y/ <a e i o u ä ö y> <p>All vowels can be long. ====Vowel Harmony==== /ɑ o u/ are class one <p>/e i/ are class two <p>/æ ø y/ are class three <p>Class one and three can never exist in the same word. Class two can be with either. The first root in a compound word (very common) and the second one must follow their own vowel harmony, however they don't have to follow each others. Mädon (morning, day-start) therefore doesn't break vowel harmony (even though most speakers say mädön anyway). ===Allophones=== <p>/i/ > [j] word final. <p>/b d g/ > /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ syllable final. <p>/f θ s ʃ/ > /v ð z ʒ / syllable initial. <p>/h/ > /ç/ before another consonant, and at the end of a syllable. <p>In VCV the consonant is always voiced. One note, /ɬ/ is the "unvoiced" counterpart of /l/. ===Syllable Structire=== <p>The basic syllable structure is (O)S(O)(O)(O)V. I think this is how it would be written at least. <p>The onset is optional, and can be any obstruent. The nucleus (mandatory) can be any sonorant followed by 3 optional obstruents. The coda is any vowel (but not other sonorants!) This means that there are many words that are just on vowel long. Like "ää" meaning "therefore." ==Pronouns== ===Plain=== <table> <tr><td></td> <td>First</td> <td>Second</td> <td>Third</td></tr> <tr><td>Singular</td> <td>Whi*</td> <td>Moon</td> <td>Fäl</td></tr> <tr><td>Plural</td><td>Gii</td> <td>Mhöö</td> <td>Lhi</td></tr> </table> These are used more in daily life, than in writing. They are always used with people of similar status to yourself and with your "underlings." ===Polite=== <table> <tr><td></td> <td>First</td> <td>Second</td></tr> <tr><td>Singular</td> <td>Vadasja</td> <td>Areta</td></tr> </table> These polite words for "I" and "you" are both used when first introducing yourself, and when writing to anyone you're not familiar with. Also, they are used a lot in poetry to fit the rhyme scheme. The rest of the pronouns are used in both situations. There are no special verb conjugations for these pronouns. ==Verbs== ==Cases== [[Category:A priori conlangs]] File:Hafrigvotan.gif 6308 43701 2009-03-01T10:50:51Z HafrigisSurnogion 1283 Háfrigvotán script for HGE Háfrigvotán script for HGE Template:West Germanic grammar 6309 43705 2009-03-01T14:57:25Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 {| border="0" style="clear:right; float:right; margin:0 0 1.5em 1.5em; border:1px solid #aaa; padding:0.3em; background:#f9f9f9; text-align:center; font-size:95%;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" |- !style="padding:0.3em; background:#f0f0f0;"| [[West Germanic grammar]]</tr> | [[West Germanic nouns|Nouns]]<br/> [[West Germanic verbs|Verbs]]<br/> [[West Germanic articles|Articles]]<br/> [[West Germanic adjectives|Adjectives]]<br/> [[West Germanic pronouns|Pronouns]]<br/> [[West Germanic adverbial phrases|Adverbial phrases]]<br/> [[West Germanic conjugation|Conjugation]]<br/> [[West Germanic sentence structure|Sentence structure]]<br/> [[West Germanic declension|Declension]]<br/> [[West Germanic modal particles|Modal particles]] |- |}<noinclude> West Germanic grammar 6310 43928 2009-03-08T11:52:44Z Pisceesumsprecan 729 {{West Germanic grammar}} This page outlines the fundamental elements of the grammar of the [[West Germanic language]] ==Gender== West Germanic preserves all of the Proto-Indo-European genders: masculine (''mannlich''), feminine (''wiflich'') and neuter (''sakulich''). This is more often than not unrelated to biological gender, for example, the West Germanic word for 'stone' (''tare stan'') is masculine. Words that describe a male or female such as 'man' (''tare mann'') and 'woman' (''ta froe'') often do correspond to sex, but with the notable exception of 'girl' (''tat maiden''), which is neuter due to its diminutive suffix '-en'. The ending of a noun can strongly suggest the gender. For instance, if a noun ends in a vowel, it is likely that it is feminine, but this is not a universal rule. e.g. ''ta katte'' (the cat), ''ta blome'' (the flower), ''ta luvu'' (the love) - but ''tat ore'' (the ore) Nouns ending in the following suffixes: -had, -ung, -shipe, are also feminine. e.g. ''ane froehad'' (a freedom), ''ane tidung'' (a newspaper), ''ane froendshipe'' (a friendship) ==Cases== West Germanic inflects nouns, adjectives and pronouns into four cases known as the nominative (''nemniendlich''), genitive (''agnindlich''), dative (''forgivendlich'') and accusative (''raiendlich''). The case of a particular noun depends on the grammatical function of the noun in the sentence. *Nominative (''Wa?''): the subject of a sentence, the thing doing the action *Genitive (''Was?''): the possessor of something or the object of certain other prepositions *Dative (''Wam?''): the indirect object, as in when an object is given to someone, or the object of certain other prepositions *Accusative (''Wone?''): the direct object, the thing which is directly receiving the action or the object of certain prepositions '''Example: tare hund (''engl.'' the dog)''' {| | '''NOM''' || ''tare'' hund || ''ta'' hund''e'' |- | '''GEN''' || ''tas'' hund || ''tare'' hund''e'' |- | '''DAT''' || ''tam'' hund || ''tone'' hund''e'' |- | '''ACC''' || ''tone'' hund || ''ta'' hund''e'' |} Athonite Vocabulary 6311 51109 2009-12-20T15:16:46Z Caeruleancentaur 11 /* Religion */ New entry. *Athonite words pertinent to the MR. **These are words that I've needed (or just liked) as I have been putting together information about the MR. **Greek endings (or words) in parentheses. **The Greek medial sigma <font color=blue>σ</font> is not used; only the final form <font color=blue>ς</font>. **Double letters in Greek are made single in Athonite. **Words of Turkish origin in red. **Words of Arabic origin in green. ====Animals==== *bird of prey -

Ginhtköl was the first one written down, and existed as a lingua franca of the region. The native speakers quickly died, and an archaic form was used. Later, the capital of the central kingdom ([[Öökäky Ginhtkölöt]] - The Ginhtköl Kingdom) decided to make the official language Ginhtköl, bringing the language back into reality. ==Members== *North Ganic **Soskra ***[[Gìdago]] ***Má **Zira ***Gí-giân *South Ganic **Kozu ***[[Ginhtköl]] **Skā ***Kjelī ***Itāk ****Kjā *Western **Ulwi ***Qon ***Īqaqa **Ninakata ***Melita ****Ume ==Characteristics== Each branch of the family has different "style." We are going to go through these here. ===North Ganic=== Every member of the North Ganic family is tonal. Every member of the family's syllable structure is CV. None of them have long vowels. This language family, spoken in the north (hence the name!) This area of the language family is very slow growing and slow changing. Gìdago is the only lively language in this family, it's spoken the farthest south. Má is moribund and Gí-giân endangered. Most younger speakers of these languages have moved farther south, there are few opportunities in the north. ===South Ganic=== This family is the biggest as far as speakers go. For the last ~1000 years, Ginhtköl was used as the lingua franca of the south, and is now used as a trade language all around. Because of its prosperity, it strangled out all the languages of the region. The Skā language family is spoken in the southern islands. Kjelī is spoken on a handful of islands, but is declining in the face of Ginhtköl and Itak. Itak has a creole language named Kjā. In response to the slave trade from the south, the slaves mixed Yoruba grammar with Itak words. Many words have a Yoruba and a Itak word, in those cases the Itak word is more prestigious. In general most of these languages have many sonorants. The languages are usually considered melodious. The Skā family all have simple pitch accent, and Kjā has two tones. ===Western Ganic=== There are four languages in this group. These languages simplified Proto-Ganic's consonant clusters to clicks, each language has three clicks. They are all spoken on the half of the southern islands not taken up by the Skā languages. This language prospers further, because there were many foreign colonies, in Africa founded by these people. Qon's foreign colonies fell threw quickly and soon switched to English, but Melita is thriving really well in Africa. Melita's creole, Ume, is used only in Africa. It was created due to apartheid, the natives speaking Bantu languages, and the whites speaking Melita. ==Where are these languages spoken?== A large island with an archipelago of smaller islands is in the Atlantic ocean. Each country in this area uses one of these languages. * [[Öökäky Ginhtkölöt]] uses [[Ginhtköl]]. * [[Ògegi Zegad]] uses [[Gìdago]].

Therefore it has the most simplified and changed grammar and phonology. ==Phonology== If you compare this phonology with the phonology of Ginhtköl, you'll see MANY changes. ===Consonants=== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Velar |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}}ng |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || || {{IPA|b}} || || || || || || {{IPA|d}} || || || || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || || {{IPA|v}} || || {{IPA|ð}} || || {{IPA|z}} || || {{IPA|ʒ}}j || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} </div> In the chart, I wrote in the orthography, where it's different from IPA. ===Vowels=== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || {{IPA|e}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|o}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> ====Tones==== {| class="wikitable" |- !

The only difference between the second person plural and the singular is the tone. They traditionally came from totally different words but, through sound change, came to have very similar sounds. ===First Conjugation=== Root: Aðeva - eat In the singular, there is no change. So "I eat" is "wi áheva." In the plural, the first person plural (like we) uses the affix -no. So it's is "gú áhevano." There is no change in the second person plural (think y'all). The third person plural (they) changes the last vowel to -o, so "lu ahevo."

EX: Mó nenande gábad? - Are you a walrus? * Aga is thrown at the end of the sentence (the very last word!). EX: Mó nen gábad aga? - Are you a walrus? ===To be=== The most used verb in the language is also highly irregular.

The commitment==== *Anyone who wishes to join the monastic community of Mt. Athos must pledge himself to respect God and man, **to live according to the communal rule, that is, to seek God; **to do what is good and upright in His sight, in accordance with what He has commanded through Jesus Christ and the Holy Orthodox Faith; **to love all that He has chosen and hate all that He has rejected; **to keep far from evil and to cling to all good works; **to act truthfully and righteously and justly on earth and to walk no more in the stubbornness of a guilty heart and of lustful eyes, doing all manner of evil; **to bring into a bond of mutual love all who have declared their willingness to carry out the statutes of God; **to walk blamelessly before Him in conformity with all that has been revealed; and **to love all the children of God. *All who declare their willingness to serve God's truth must bring all of their mind, all of their strength, and all of their wealth into the monastic community, so that **their minds may be purified by the truth of His precepts, **their strength controlled by His perfect ways, and **their wealth disposed in accordance with His just design. *They must not deviate by a single step from carrying out the orders of God at the times appointed for them. They must neither advance the statutory times nor postpone the prescribed seasons. They must not turn aside from the ordinances of God's truth either to the right or to the left. ====Chapter II. The examination of initiants==== *When a man enters the monastic community, minded to act in accordance with all the foregoing ordinances and formally to ally himself to the holy community, inquiry shall be made concerning his temper in human relations and his understanding and performance in matters of doctrine. *This inquiry shall be conducted by the hegumen and his council who have undertaken concertedly to uphold God's Law and to supervise the execution of all the ordinances which He has commanded. *Every man shall then be registered by the standard of his attitudes and his performance shall be reviewed, however, year by year, some being then commended by virtue of their improved understanding and the integrity of their conduct, and others reprimanded for their waywardness. ====Chapter III. Initiation==== *Anyone who would join the ranks of a monastic community must enter into a monastery in the presence of God to do according to all that He has commanded and not to turn away from Him through any fear or terror or through any trial to which they may be subjected. *When he enters into that monastic community, the hegumen shall pronounce a blessing upon the God of salvation and upon all that He does to make known His truth; **and all that enter the monastic community are to say after them, “Amen, amen.” *Then the hegumen shallrehearse the bounteous acts of God as revealed in all His deeds of power, and he shallrecite all His tender mercies towards His children. **And all who enter the monastic community are to make confession after them, saying, “We have acted perversely, we have transgressed, we have sinned, we have done wickedly in that we have gone counter to the truth. God has been right to bring His judgment upon us. Howbeit, always from ancient times He has also bestowed His mercies upon us all, and so will He do for all time to come.” *Then the hegumen shall invoke a blessing on all that have cast their lot with God, that walk blamelessly in all their ways; **and they are to say, “May He bless thee with all good and keep thee from all evil. And illumine thy heart with insight into the things of life, and grace thee with knowledge of things eternal, and lift up His gracious countenance towards thee to grant thee peace everlasting.” **And all that enter the monastic community shall say after them that bless, “Amen, amen.” ====Chapter IV. Concerning novices==== *No man may seek entry into the monastic community before his twenty-fifth birthday. *Upon admission the hegumen shall examine him as to his intelligence and his actions and, if he then embark on a course of training, he shall have him enter into the monastery to return to the truth and turn away from all perversity. Then he shall appraise him of all the rules of the community. *When that man comes to present himself to the community, everyone shall be asked his opinion about him. and his admission to or rejection from the community shall be determined by general vote. *No candidate, however, shall be admitted to the monastic life enjoyed by the members of the community until, at the completion of a full year, his spiritual attitude and his performance have been duly reviewed. *No man may be refused entry into the monastic community for any physical deformity whatever, provided that he has the physical ability to live the life of monastic deprivation and to do the manual labor required. *After he has spent a full year in the midst of the community, the members shall jointly review his case, as to his understanding and performance in matters of doctrine. If it then be voted by the opinion of the priests and of a majority of the brothers to admit him to the community, they shall have him bring with him all his property and the tools of his profession. These shall be committed to the custody of the hegumen. They shall be entered by the accountant into an account, but he shall not disburse them for the general benefit. *Not until the completion of a second year among the members of the community is the candidate to be admitted to the common board. *When however, that second year has been completed, he shall be subjected to a further review by the community, and if it then be voted to admit him to the community, he shall be registered in the order of rank which he shalloccupy among his brethren in all matters pertaining to doctrine, judicial procedure, degree of purity. ====Chapter V. The stages of monasticism==== *The way of the monk is three-fold and proceeds slowly, as the monastic vows entail a life-long commitment to God and are not to be entered into lightly. *Symbolic of this life-long commitment is the monastic habit which is bestowed piece by piece as the aspirant grows in his spirituality. *At a time determined by the hegumen the aspirant shall be accepted as a novice into the monastery. He shall be tonsured by the hegumen, that is, four locks of his hair are cut off in a cruciform pattern. He shall be clothed in the novice’s habit, which consists of a gray ''eisorasson'' (inner tunic), a black leather belt, and the black ''skoufos'' (soft monastic hat). *At a time determined by the hegumen the novice shall be invited to join the monastery. If he agrees, he shall be clothed in the first degree of monasticism. He may, rather, choose to remain a novice the whole of his monastic life. *The novice shall be asked to affirm his commitment to persevere in the monastic life. **If he so affirms, he shall once again receive the tonsure, be clothed in a black ''eisorasson'' and be given the black ''rasson'' (outer tunic). **He shall also be given the black ''kamilavkion'' (cylindrical brimless hat) and detachable ''epanokamelavkion'' (black veil). He is given a new name and is now known as a rassophore. Thenceforth his counsel and his judgment are to be at the disposal of the community. *Upon acquiring a certain level of discipline, dedication and humility, and at a time determined by the hegumen, the rassophore shall be asked if he wishes to advance in the monastic life. **If he so affirms, he shall make the formal vows of stability of place, poverty, chastity and obedience. **Once again he shall be tonsured and shall add to his habit the ''paramandyas'' (a piece of square cloth worn on the back, embroidered with the instruments of the Passion, and connected by ties to a wooden cross worn over the heart). Because of this addition he shall be known as a stavrophore. **He shall also be given a wooden hand cross which he should keep in his icon corner, and a beeswax candle, symbolic of monastic vigilance the sacrificing of himself for God. **After the ceremony, the newly-tonsured stavrophore shall remain in vigil in the church for five days, refraining from all work, except spiritual reading. **The hegumen shall now increase the stavrophore’s prayer rule, allow a more strict personal ascetic practice, and give the monk more responsibility. *Monks whose hegumen feels they have reached a high level of spiritual excellence have reached the final stage, the Great Schema. **The tonsure of a schemamonk shall follow the same format as that of a stavrophore. **He makes the same vows and is tonsured in the same manner. **In addition to all the garments worn by the stavrophore, he shall be given the ''analavos'' (an article of monastic vesture emblematic of the Great Schema. It drapes over the shoulders and hangs down in front and in back, with the front portion somewhat longer, and is embroidered with the instruments of the Passion and the Trisagion). **He shall also be given the ''polystavrion'' (a cord with a number of small crosses plaited into it forming a yoke around the monk and serving to hold the ''analavos'' in place. It reminds the monk that he is bound to Christ and that his arms are no longer fit for worldly activities. Rather he must labor only for the Kingdom of Heaven.) ====Chapter VI. The annual review==== *The following procedure shall be followed year by year. *The priests are first to be reviewed in due order, one after another, in respect of the state of their spirits. *After them, the brothers shall be similarly reviewed. *The object is that every monk in the monastic community may be made aware of his status in the community of God in the sense of the ideal, eternal society, and that none may be abased below his status nor exalted above his allotted place. *All of them will thus be members of a community founded at once upon true values and upon a becoming sense of humility, upon charity and mutual fairness, members of a society truly hallowed, partners in an everlasting communion. ====Chapter VII. Those who are to be excluded==== *Anyone who refuses to abide by the monastic rule and persists in walking in the stubbornness of his heart shall not be admitted to this community of God's truth. *For inasmuch as his soul has revolted at the discipline entailed in a knowledge of God's righteous judgments, he has shown no real strength in amending his way of life, and therefore cannot be reckoned with the upright, for **only through the spiritual apprehension of God's truth can man's ways be properly directed, **only through the Holy Spirit can he achieve union with God's truth and be purged of all his iniquities, **only by a spirit of uprightness and humility can his sin be atoned, and **only thus can he really direct his steps to walk blamelessly through all the vicissitudes of his destiny in all the ways of God in the manner which He has commanded, without turning either to the right or to the left and without overstepping any of God's words. *Then indeed will he be acceptable before God like an atonement-offering which meets with His pleasure, and then indeed will he be admitted to the monastic community for ever. ====Chapter VIII. The virtue of stability==== *This is the rule for all members of the monastic community with regard to stability. **They shall not transfer from one monastery to another, but shall remain in the monastery of their initiation. **They shall not leave the grounds of their monastery without the express permission of their hegumen. **If a monastery suffer from a lack of monks, petition shall be made to the Holy Synod for volunteers to transfer from other monasteries to make up for the dearth of monks. ====Chapter IX. Social relations==== *This is the rule for all members of the monastic community, that is, for such as have declared their readiness to turn away from all evil and to adhere to all that God in His good pleasure has commanded. **They shall keep apart from the company of the froward. **They shall belong to the monastic community in both a doctrinal and an economic sense. **They shall abide by the decisions of their hegumen and of the majority of the community that stand firm in them. It is by the vote of such that all matters economic and judicial shall be determined. **They shall concertedly and in all their pursuits practice truth, humility, righteousness, justice, chastity and decency, with no one walking in the stubbornness of his own heart or going astray after his heart or his eyes or his fallible human mind. **They shall concertedly remove the impurity of their human mold and likewise all stiffneckedness. **They shall establish in the monastic community a solid basis of truth. **They shall unite in a bond indissoluble for ever. **They shall extend forgiveness to all among their brothers that have freely enlisted in the cause of holiness, and to all among the laity that have done so in the cause of truth, and likewise to all that have associated themselves with them. **They shall separate themselves completely from family and friends. **They shall not form a spiritual bond with any lay person. **They shall regard as miscreants all that transgress the law. ====Chapter X. The obligation of holiness==== *This is the way in which all these ordinances are to be applied on a collective basis. **Everyone who is admitted into the monastic community shall enter into a covenant of God in the presence of all the brothers in the cause and commit himself by a binding oath to return with all his heart and soul to the commandments of God, as those commandments are revealed to the Holy Orthodox Faith. **He that so commits himself shall keep apart from all froward men that walk in the path of wickedness; for such men are not to be reckoned in the monastic community inasmuch as they have never sought nor studied God's ordinances in order to find out on what more arcane points they may guiltily have gone astray, while in regard to the things which stand patently revealed they have acted high-handedly. **All that are not reckoned in the monastic community shall be put aside, and likewise all that they posses. A holy man shall not rely on works of vanity, and vanity is what all of them are that have not recognized God's covenant. ====Chapter XI. Communal duties==== *This is the procedure which all members of the community shall follow in all dealings with one another, wherever they dwell. **Everyone shall obey his superior in rank in all matters of work and money. **All shall dine together, worship together and take counsel together. **When they set the table for a meal or prepare wine to drink, the priest shall first put forth his hand to invoke a blessing on the first portion of the bread and wine. **The monks shall divide their day into religious services, private devotions (of which the paramount is the study of Holy Scripture) and work. **The daily activities of the monks shall be regulated by the sounding of the semantron. **The most important duty of the monk is the celebration of the Divine Liturgy at which all will communicate. No one is excused from this duty, unless he be dispensed by the hegumen because of the nature of his work. **Paramount also is the chanting of the psalms from which no monk may be absent. **A schedule shall be followed such that the entire Psalter is chanted every week. Matins and Lauds may be chanted by the monk in his cell at the discretion of the hegumen. **As a mortification of the flesh and as a means whereby to support the community, manual labor shall be required of all monks. **Depending on the needs of the monastery and the talents and abilities of the monk, manual labor may take place in the monk’s cell, in the common work areas, or on the grounds outside. **All manual labor shall be performed with tools that are the common property of the monastery. **No manual labor shall be done on the Day of the Lord or on the Great Feasts. There may be exceptions in case of emergencies to be determined by the hegumen. **Errands outside the monastery and, indeed, off the Holy Mountain, shall be assigned at the discretion of the hegumen. These errands shall never be assigned to novices. **These errands shall always be accomplished by two monks traveling together. **Those providing transportation, room and board, and other expenses shall be reimbursed by the monastery when a receipt is presented by the monks to the monastery’s treasurer. ====Chapter XII. The general council==== *This is the rule covering public sessions. **The priests shall occupy the first place; the brothers shall come second. This order shallobtain alike when they seek a judicial ruling, when they meet for common counsel, or when any matter arises of general concern. **Everyone shall have an opportunity of rendering his opinion in the common council. No one, however, shall interrupt while his neighbour is speaking, or speak until the latter has finished. Furthermore, no one shall speak in advance of his prescribed rank. Everyone shall speak in turn, as he is called upon. **In public sessions, no one shall speak on any subject that is not of concern to or to the liking of the company as a whole. **If the hegumen or anyone who is not of the same rank as the person who happens to be raising a question for the consideration of the community, has something to say to the company, he shall stand up and declare: “I have something to say to the company”; and only if they so bid him, shall he speak. ====Chapter XIII. Death to Life in this world==== *Entry into the monastic life is a death to life in this world and rebirth into a life cleansed of sin. *The monk should grieve for his sins rather than teach, contemplate or perform miracles. *It is required that the monk find a confessor from among the priests of the monastery whom he shall regard as his spiritual father and he shall confess his sins regularly and frequently. ====Chapter XIV. Physical health==== *When everyone is healthy, the monk should be grateful for the Provider of health, each one on behalf of the others rather than on his own behalf. But if one of you is ill, then you all should be sympathetically disposed to his illness and share in his suffering, just as the other limbs of the body suffer, if one is in pain. *The monk should do everything and exert himself to see the brother cured of his illness. **Several monks shall be trained in the rudiments of basic health care and in emergency medical procedures. **Every monastery shall have an area available for the use of helicopters to transport the ill to medical facilities. **Personal hygiene is of the utmost importance and shall be attended to conscientiously by the monk. **Every monastery shall have a bath house where the monks may bathe modestly. **The monk shall bathe at least once a week and shall trim his beard and have his hair cut as needed. **Failure to keep one’s self clean is cause for disciplinary action by the hegumen. ====Chapter XV. Diet==== *As the Apostle said, “All things in moderation.” Moderate eating shows a care for bodily health. However, in order to practice mortification of the flesh, the monk imposes on himself dietary restrictions. **All monks shall observe perpetual abstinence from all animal flesh. Only with the permission of the hegumen may a monk who is ill consume animal flesh. **Eggs and cheese may be eaten on the Day of the Lord and on the Great Feasts. **The monks’ diet shall consist of grains, pulses, legumes, fruit and vegetables. **Each monk shall be alloted a portion of food for his daily sustenance. **Each monk shall be alloted a daily portion of wine and all the water he needs. ====Chapter XVI. The virtue of silence==== *These are the rules to be followed in the interpretation of the law regarding forms of speech. **Silence shall be maintained throughout the day and night in the ordinary course of events. **That speech is permitted which is necessary for the well-being of the other or for the accomplishment of a common task. ====Chapter XVII. Accusations and grudges==== *When anyone has a charge against his neighbour, he shall prosecute it truthfully, humbly and humanely. **He shall not speak to him angrily or querulously or arrogantly or in any wicked mood. **He shall not bear hatred towards him in the inner recesses of his heart. **When he has a charge against him, he shall proffer it then and there on the selfsame day and not render himself liable to penalty by nursing a grudge. **Furthermore, no man shall bring a charge publicly against his neighbour except he prove it by witness. ====Chapter XVIII.

I was reading the phonology...and I've NEVER heard <r> pronounced /r/. It's usually /R/. -ILuvEire :Hmm. Wikipedia says (under [[wikipedia:Dutch phonology]]): ::''The realization of the ''/r/'' phoneme varies considerably from dialect to dialect. In "standard" Dutch, ''/r/'' is realized as the alveolar trill ''[r]''. In some dialects it is realized as the alveolar tap ''[ɾ]'', the voiced uvular fricative ''[ʁ]'', the uvular trill ''[ʀ]'', or even as the alveolar approximant ''[ɹ]''.'' :From what I gather the ''tongpunt''-R is supposed to be the most common, but ''huig''-R dominates in certain areas, and is gaining ground over the ''tongpunt''-R elsewhere; cf. [[wikipedia:Guttural R]]: ::''In modern Dutch, quite a few different rhotic sounds are used. In Belgium, the usual rhotic is an alveolar trill, but the uvular rhotic does occur, mostly in the province of Limburg, in the region around Ghent and in Brussels. In the Netherlands, the uvular rhotic is the dominant rhotic in the southern provinces of Noord-Brabant and Limburg. In the rest of the country, the situation is more complicated. The uvular rhotic is common, but not dominant, in the western agglomeration Randstad, including cities like Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht (the dialect of Amsterdam usually has an alveolar rhotic though). The uvular rhotic is also used in some major cities outside of the Randstad area, such as Zwolle, Almelo and Leeuwarden. Outside of these uvular rhotic core areas, the alveolar trill is common.'' —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 13:12, 8 March 2009 (UTC) Template:KhP 6320 43880 2009-03-06T13:30:16Z PeteBleackley 179 Created template [http://archives.conlang.info/kha/gintei/jhorwurchian.html poem] States of America (Nytal) 6321 43924 2009-03-07T21:37:52Z Bukkia 117 /* Le kayd yd LKBA */ Here there are the Nytal names of all American states according to Wikipedia: ==Le kayd yd Amerika Ylofik== * '''Beliz''': Belize * '''Elsalvador''': El Salvador * '''Honduras''': Honduras * '''Kanada''': Canada * '''Kostarika''': Costa Rica * '''Le Kayd Bojsitan'lo yd Amerika''' (LKBA): United States of America (USA) * '''Mexico''': Mexico * '''Nikaraqa''': Nicaragua * '''Panama''': Panama ==Le kayd yd Amerika Šolit== * '''Argentina''': Argentina * '''Bolivija''': Bolivia * '''Brasil''': Brazil * '''Cile''': Chile * '''Eqador''': Ecuador * '''Gujana''': Guyana * '''Gujana francik''': French Guyana * '''Kolombija''': Colombia * '''Paraqaj''': Paraguay * '''Peru''': Peru * '''Suriname''': Suriname * '''Uruqaj''': Uruguay * '''Venezuela''': Venezuela ==Le kayd yd LKBA== These are Nytal names of all US states: * '''Ajdaho''': Idaho * '''Ajova''': Iowa * '''Alabama''': Alabama * '''Alaska''': Alaska * '''Arisona''': Arizona * '''Arkansas''': Arkansas * '''Cersej Aln''': New Jersey * '''Corca''': Georgia * '''Dakota Šolit''': South Dakota * '''Dakota Ylofit''': North Dakota * '''Delauyr''': Delaware * '''Florida''': Florida * '''Havai'i''': Hawaii * '''Hempšajr Aln''': New Hampshire * '''Ilinoj''': Illinois * '''Indiana''': Indiana * '''Jork Aln''': New York * '''Juta''': Utah * '''Kalifornija''': California * '''Karolina Šolit''': South Carolina * '''Karolina Ylofit''': North Carolina * '''Kolorado''': Colorado * '''Konetikyt''': Connecticut * '''Limis Rod''': Rhode Island * '''Luisjana''': Louisiana * '''Mejn''': Maine * '''Merylend''': Maryland * '''Mesacusyz''': Massachusetts * '''Mexico Aln''': New Mexico * '''Micigan''': Michigan * '''Minesota''': Minnesota * '''Misisipi''': Mississippi * '''Misuri''': Missouri * '''Nebraska''': Nebraska * '''Nevada''': Nevada * '''Ohajo''': Ohio * '''Oklahoma''': Oklahoma * '''Oregon''': Oregon * '''Pensilvenija''': Pennsylvania * '''Tenesij''': Tennessee * '''Texas''': Texas * '''Vajomin''': Wyoming * '''Vašingtyn''': Washington * '''Vermont''': Vermont * '''Vircinija''': Virginia * '''Vircinija Fiensit''': West Virginia * '''Viskonsyn''': Wiskonsin [[Category:Nytal]] States of Africa (Nytal) 6322 43891 2009-03-06T17:31:10Z Bukkia 117 Here there are the Nytal names of all African states according to Wikipedia: ==Le kayd yd Afrika== * '''Alcarija''': Algeria * '''Afrika Šolit''': South Africa * '''Benin''': Benin * '''Bozuana''': Botswana * '''Burkinafaso''': Burkina Faso * '''Burundi''': Burundi * '''Cad''': Chad * '''Cibuti''': Djibouti * '''Egipt''': Egypt * '''Ertra''': Eritrea * '''Gabon''': Gabon * '''Gambija''': Gambia * '''Humurij''': Comoros * '''Itjopija''': Ethiopia * '''Kamerun''': Cameroon * '''Kenija''': Kenya * '''Lesoto''': Lesotho * '''Liberija''': Liberia * '''Libija''': Libya * '''Madagaskar''': Madagascar * '''Magribija''': Morocco * '''Malavi''': Malawi * '''Mali''': Mali * '''Maurišu''': Mauritius * '''Mosambik''': Mozambique * '''Muritanija''': Mauritania * '''Namibija''': Namibia * '''Ngola''': Angola * '''Niger''': Niger * '''Nigerija''': Nigeria * '''Qineja''': Guinea * '''Qineja-Bisau''': Guinea-Bissau * '''Qineja Iqator''': Equatorial Guinea * '''Qolt Yrid''': Cape Verde * '''Ruanda''': Rwanda * '''Sahara Fiensit''': Western Sahara * '''Sešel''': Seychelles * '''Sierraleon''': Sierra Leone * '''Sikeltirins Aceviafrikik''': Central African Republic * '''Sikeltirins Kongo''': Republic of the Congo * '''Sikeltirins yd Sikelt Kong''': Democratic Republic of the Congo * '''Somalija''': Somalia * '''Suaziland''': Swaziland * '''Sudan''': Sudan * '''Tansanija''': Tanzania * '''Togo''': Togo * '''Tome Šijnt a Prinsip''': São Tomé and Príncipe * '''Tunisija''': Tunisia * '''Uganda''': Uganda * '''Vruq Evoyrij''': Côte d'Ivoire * '''Zambija''': Zambia * '''Zimbabue''': Zimbabwe [[Category:Nytal]] File:1hafrig.jpg 6323 43895 2009-03-06T19:31:31Z HafrigisSurnogion 1283 The flag of the Háfrig or Avorenta language The flag of the Háfrig or Avorenta language Avorenta 6324 48568 2009-08-21T14:22:59Z HafrigisSurnogion 1283 '''Avorenta''' (IPA: 'ɒvorɛntɒ) is a constructed language with a grammar based on Hungarian using mostly fictitios words and words of IE or Altaic origin.

There are five '''consonants''': *<tt><m n></tt> are straightforward [m n], tho the latter may vary further back to [ɲ] or [ŋ]. They have syllabic counterparts. *<tt><h></tt> is generally [ɦ]. Can become a voiceless nasal when occurring before the syllabic nasals. [j] is an acceptable variant before a vowel. *<tt><f></tt> varies within the [ɸ ~ ʍ ~ β ~ w] ballpark. It does not occur word-initially. *<tt><:></tt> (yes, a colon) is a glottal stop [ʔ]. There is no contrast with a zero initial (never written in that position). As well as one true '''vowel''', written as <tt><-></tt> (a dash). The quality may be anything from a nasal shwa [ə̃] to your average [a]. (Given the situation pretty much ''any'' value would be understandable, be it [y] or [l̟] or [s̟], but naturally, anything that contrived would sound incredibly silly.) There is contrastiv length, written by two dashes. A word-final vowel is not written. A word can only consist of syllables with a vowel, or syllables without. In a vocalic word, three consonant clusters are possible across syllables: <tt><mf hm hn></tt>. Adjacent long/closed syllables are disallowed, as are final consonants. A non-vocalic word has a maximum lenght of two syllables, of the structure (glottal consonant)+(nasal consonant)+(optional word-final glottal stop). A syllable without a following (coda or internasalic) glottal stop is somewhat longer in duration and written with a duplicated nasal consonant. So for example <tt><hmm></tt>, <tt><mmhn:></tt> or <tt><hn:nn></tt>, but not <tt><mhn></tt> or <tt><hmm:m></tt>. ==Grammar== There is no single copula as such: the choice depends on the mood of the utterance. Affirmation (replies, previous information etc.) is express'd with <tt>mm</tt>, assertions (new information) with <tt>-</tt>, and negation (of both affirmation and assertion) with <tt>n--</tt>. ==Lexicon== ===Non-vocalic=== Principally grammatical. To increase clarity, not all of the 40 possible word-shapes are used. <!--(2*2*(1+2*2)*2 = (h)+m/n+(h/:+m/n)+(:)--> *<tt>mm</tt> (affirmation; usually pronounced with initial [ʔ]) *<tt>hmm</tt> ''(reserved as discourse filler)'' *<tt>hm:</tt> *<tt>hnn</tt> *<tt>n:</tt> ===Vocalic=== '''Monosyllables''' (again principally grammatical) *<tt>-</tt> (assertion; usually pronounced with [ʔ]; can be clitickized) <!-- implies no final glottal stop syllables in content words! --> *<tt>m-</tt> (1st person / proximativ pronoun) *<tt>h-</tt> (interrogativ pronoun) *<tt>--</tt> ''(reserved as discourse filler)'' *<tt>n--</tt> (negation) '''Bisyllables''' *<tt>-:-</tt> (request, command) [[Category:Funlangs]] States of Oceania (Nytal) 6326 43912 2009-03-07T14:06:12Z Bukkia 117 New page: Here there are the Nytal names of all Oceanian independent states according to Wikipedia: ==Le kayd yd Oceanija== * '''Australija''': Australia * '''Kiribati''': Kiribati * '''Le Kayd Bon...

I think this is how it would be written at least. The onset is optional, and can be any obstruent. The nucleus (mandatory) can be any sonorant followed by 3 optional obstruents. The coda is any vowel (but not other sonorants!) This means that there are many words that are just on vowel long. Like "ā" meaning "therefore." ==Nouns== Nabhika words use two genders, animate and inanimate. There are three numbers, singular, dual, and plural. Many, many nouns use a triconsonantal root. These nouns frequently are changed into verbs. ===Cases=== <table> <tr><td>Case</td><td>Suffix</td><td>Example 1</td><td>Example 2</td></tr> <tr><td>Nominative</td><td>None</td><td>zvan-dog</td><td>bhāṣika</td></tr> <tr><td>Accusative</td><td>-a</td><td>zvana</td><td>bhāṣikā</td></tr> <tr><td>Gentitive</td><td>-i</td><td>zvani</td><td>bhāṣikai</td> </table> When a word ending with an <b>a</b> is in the accusative case, the vowel is lengthened. Similarly, when a noun is in the gentitive case and ends with an <b>i</b> the vowel is just long. ===Plurals=== * For the dual number, you'll need to change the vowel of the last syllable. Then add the suffix ṣi. <table> <tr><td>a</td><td>-></td><td>e</td></tr> <tr><td>e</td><td>-></td><td>i</td></tr> <tr><td>i</td><td>-></td><td>ī</td><td></tr> <tr><td>o</td><td>-></td><td>i</td></tr> <tr><td>u</td><td>-></td><td>e</td></tr> </table> * The plural just lengthens the last vowel and adds the suffix -ra. ====Examples==== <table> <tr><td>Singular</td><td>Meaning</td><td>Dual</td><td>Plural</td></tr> <tr><td>Zavān</td><td>dog</td><td>zavēnṣi</td><td>zavānra</td></tr> <tr><td>Bhāṣika</td><td>language</td><td>bhāṣikeṣi</td><td>bhāṣikāra</td> </table> ===Pronouns=== In informal Nabhika, men use one set of pronouns, and women use another set.

How severe are their seasons? === Cold subarctic, though perhaps moderated slightly by the surrounding ocean. Summer is short, cool, and humid; winters are long and cold. === What kinds of natural disasters has this society gotten used to? === Primarily volcanic eruptions, which are fairly frequent and can be very violent and destructive. Tsunamis are also frequent; likewise, earthquakes are a constant threat. === What are the most commonly-grown foods? === Agriculture is limited because of the short growing season. Crops consist mainly of cabbage, lettuce, kale and other greens, potatoes, rutabagas, turnips; rye and oats to a limited extent; hay for livestock. Several species of berries are an important source of food, and in modern times are essentially cultivated crops as well as exploited in the wild. Pine nuts are also a key foodstuff, and are also "farmed" to an extent nowadays. === What are the most commonly-eaten meats? === Reindeer is by far the most important "red meat". Beef, mutton, and pork products are comparatively rare; poultry and game birds are consumed in greater quantity. Fish, however, is the main source of animal protein -- several different species of salmon, as well as herring, halibut, mackerel, whitefish, etc. === What foods are considered exotic or expensive? === Fresh fruit (other than native berries); fresh vegetables (out of season, or types that can't grow in Kamchatka); fresh beef, pork, and mutton; chocolate; some spices; corn (maize) products. === What forms of alcohol are common? Rare? === Aside from homemade moonshine, kvass and vodka are the most common types of alcoholic beverage found in stores and restaurants, followed by beer, sake, and whisky. The traditional form of airak, or fermented mare's milk, is made with reindeer milk by the Kildamni, but is quite rare nowadays and really only used in ceremonial or formal situations. Moldavian wine and Armenian brandy were usually available and inexpensive during the existence of the USSR but have since fallen into short supply. === Is there usually enough food and water for the population? === Yes. Water shortages have never been a problem, and famines have not occurred since the 1700s. However, food shortages have been more persistent -- most recently during and after World War II (food rationing only ended c. 1955.) Nowadays ample nutrition is not a worry; still there is limited variety and selection compared to developed countries. Food security is a long-standing priority of the government and is a major factor in economic planning and foreign policy. === What is this place's most abundant resource? === Debatable -- different sources would argue for fish, geothermal energy, natural scenery and wildlife (i.e., ecotourism), furs, Leninism, futurism, reindeer, or marijuana. === What is its most valuable resource? === In terms of percentage of GDP, the most valuable resource (or resource-based industry) is petroleum and natural gas extraction. Fishing was clearly the leader as late as 1980-85, but was hugely reduced by the stringent conservation policies put into place in the early/mid-70s. === What resource is it most lacking? === Climate conducive to extensive agriculture, or even more rapid or dense growth of forest cover. As it is, the mediocre or poor soils and short growing season make the current population highly dependent on imported foodstuffs; logging is limited by the scanty tree cover and slow rate of regrowth. === How do people travel from one place to another? === Pretty much the way people in average modern countries travel: automobiles, airplanes, trains, ships, etc. Snowmobiles and tracked vehicles are fairly widely used in the countryside, however, and almost everyone can ski and snowshoe. Animal transport (horses, reindeer, dogs) is a major part of the national mythology but in reality very limited and somewhat artificially kept alive at this point. === Are the borders secure? In what way? === There is only a tiny land border, in the north. Even during times of high tensions with Russia/the USSR the land border has not been seen as a particularly vulnerable area: it's far too remote from any population centers or logistical bases for the Russians/Soviets to exploit. The borders that are felt to be insecure have always been the marine borders (and since the 1920s, the borders of Kilda airspace). Military invasion has come from the sea (the Russians in 1854 and 1908, the Japanese in 1941), and the same goes for infiltration of enemy spies and saboteurs (in the last two hundred years, the Russians, Japanese, Americans, Germans, and British). General remoteness and frequently terrible weather conditions provide some added maritime border protection, it's true. Currently the threat to national territories is primarily one of poaching on the Exclusive Economic Zone by foreign fishing fleets. === How many people live here? === === Where in this place to they congregate? === The largest center of population is around Avacha Bay -- the city known in OTL as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, and which in this ATL was founded some four hundred years earlier as the Lower Capital of the displaced Khitan imperial court. Probably the second-largest town is the one at the mouth of the Kamchatka River, corresponding to our Nizhne-Kamchatsk. The majority of the population is urban; maybe 2/3 to 4/5. === What part of this place do they avoid? Why? === The eastern coast is sparsely populated; the two mountain ranges are almost uninhabited. In the old days, the mountains were avoided for religious~superstitious reasons, and even today some people think they're inhabited by dangerous spirits. The many volcanoes are also given a wide berth for obvious reasons. === What are the most common domesticated animals here? And what are they domesticated for? === It may be a cliche, but the most numerous domestic animal is the reindeer. They're raised in large flocks, mostly in the east and north of the peninsula, for meat, milk, leather, and antlers. Smaller herds, much tamer, are also kept to provide animals for riding and traction. Dogs and horses were also introduced in protohistoric times, and somewhat later cattle. All three could be used for transportation, but were also eaten and used extensively as sacrificial animals right up into the twentieth century. All the other domestic animals are modern introductions: chickens, pigs, sheep, and goats. For that matter, honeybees, muskrats, and freshwater pearl mussels could also be considered "domesticated animals". === What are the most common wild animals? === Mosquitoes, gnats, midges, horseflies... But seriously, the macrofauna most often thought of in connection with their territory would be things like salmon, bears (the largest in the world, no matter what the Alaskans say), sables, mountain sheep, marmots, seals and sea lions, and vast numbers and varieties of seabirds and waterfowl. === Which animals are likely to be pets? Which ones won't be? === Dogs really aren't kept as pets, but as working animals. They're certainly not allowed into people's homes, for example. They're treated badly by European/American standards; they're not seen as "man's best friend" or anything of the sort. Keeping other animals that are edible (by Khitan standards) as pets is also unheard of, so no pot-bellied pigs, bunny rabbits, or rodents in general. Reptiles and amphibians are also right out. Cats are probably the most common large pet. Goldfish and small songbirds are also fairly common; tropical birds such as parrots are extremely rare. Raccoons, coatis, and other Procyonidae, along with North American skunks, are surprisingly popular pets despite their only marginally domesticated nature. Originally imported as fur animals, they became more favored as pets; a feral population of raccoons has also established itself around the larger towns. Likewise, crows and ravens live in close commensal arrangements with the human inhabitants -- not only do they fill the niche of pigeons in Khitan cities, they are allowed into houses and buildings despite the mess they can create. == Questions of Time == === How far back does this society's written history go? === Back to the settlement of Kamchatka by immigrants from Manchuria in the first half of the twelfth century: a number of stone inscriptions date to this early period. Literacy was preserved through the 'medieval' period though only very marginally and historical records for this period (roughly 1200-1550) are primarily based on oral literature. Written history proliferates after this -- both natively-produced and in accounts by European and Japanese explorers, missionaries, traders, and diplomats. === How far back do its people believe it goes? === Many believe that the history of the Khitan people as known through Chinese records is also part of their history. This would push the historical horizon back at least to the start of the Liao dynasty (907) and even earlier, through references to the Khitan tribes and their ancestors in Chinese annals. This view is not universal in Kilda society, and tends to be associated with right-wing and nationalist political movements. It does seem a stretch to refer to the Khitan of the Liao dynasty in North China as being "the same" society as the mixed Mongolo-Tungusic tribes that emigrated to Kamchatka following the dynasty's collapse. === What is the worst disaster they believe they've faced? === The earthquakes of 1737, 1952, and 1923 (in descending order of catastrophe), each of which killed thousands of people and damaged or destroyed large amounts of housing, boats, etc. The 1779, 1907, 1945, and 1955-6 volcanic eruptions were also very destructive. The extremely severe winters in the early 1790s also caused enormous hardship and many deaths. === What was the best thing that every happened to them? === It's hard to say what single incident or turning point they think was the most fortunate, but probably the "best" historical turn would be identified as maintaining ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' independence during the 18th-19th centuries, and managing to not fall wholly under the power of either Russia, the United States, Japan, or even Britain or France. === What in their past makes them feel ashamed? === The strands of domestic political thought, some of which go back as far as the 1890s, that were sympathetic to certain elements of Japanese 'military socialist' and 'state Shinto' ideology, and so directly contributed to the disgraceful incidents of collaboration with the Japanese during the period of the Pacific War. === What in their past makes them proud? === === What are they afraid of happening again? === === What are they hoping will happen? Do they think it likely? === === What do they assume the future will hold? === === How has this society changed? Do its current members realize this? === === What are the most popular stories about the past? === === Who in the past is the greatest hero? The worst villain? === === Do people think the present better or worse than the past? === === Do people believe the future will be better or worse than the present or past? === == Questions of Sex and Family == === How many spouses may a man or woman have? === Only one at a time. === Who decides on a marriage? === In modern times, an adult man and woman, without the need to consult their families. Historically, marriages were arranged by the parents, often when the future bride and groom were still rather young. Arranged marriages were legally abolished c.1810 but persisted unofficially through the nineteenth century. === Can a marriage end in divorce? How? === Marriages can be dissolved very easily, by either party; it's a matter of filing some paperwork with the government and one's employer, housing cooperative, etc. Contested or disputed divorces are usually handled through a mediator, or failing that through lawyers retained by each party. Divorce has been available on these terms since the 1920s; rates of divorce are quite high, on par with the USA or Russia. === Who usually takes custody of children if a marriage ends for some reason? === Usually the mother, though not by an overwhelming majority of the cases. === How is adultery defined? What (if any) is the punishment? Who decides? === Culturally, as sexual relations with someone you're not married or publicly "committed" to. If you're single, you can't commit adultery and are considered "blameless". Social opprobrium of adultery comes from family and close friends; coworkers, acquaintances, and the general public wouldn't be expected to care. Legally, there's no such thing as adultery in either criminal or civil code, and there's no basis for punishment of it. === How are families named? === There's really two levels of family names: the "clan" names and surnames in the modern sense. The clan names number perhaps 15-25 and each consists of a large number of individuals in separate families; they date back mostly to the medieval period (roughly 1100-1600 CE) though some are more recent imports. Membership in a clan normally by patrilineal descent, though matrilineal rules apply in a few -- which means that some individuals may claim membership in two clans, and use both names. On the other hand, large numbers of people don't belong to any clan at all. For the last two centuries, you can only be a member of a clan by birth, not by marriage or adoption. Family names are a more recent innovation, first appearing in the early 1700s but not becoming ubiquitous until the first half of the nineteenth century. Some are adaptations of clan names, or names of defunct clans; others are geographical in origin and described the location in which the founding ancestors of the family lived. Others are patronymics in origin; yet others originate in professional or rank names (in particular, from hereditary titles and ranks held by members of the old imperial court). Many are foreign in origin, brought by immigrants. Perhaps two-thirds of all citizens have a clan name; about 90% have a family name. A small number go only by their personal or given name. Only members of the Russian minority community use patronymics, and then only amongst themselves. === What happens to orphans? === Often they're adopted by more distant family members; failing that, they're sometimes adopted by friends of the parents (much more often than in other cultures). If not, they're placed in the care of the state, which tries to find adoptive parents for them if they're under the age of 12. Above that age, they live in state-run orphanages, which are a bit more like "group homes" than carceral institutions: a number of professional adult caregivers looking after a small number of children living in a residential program, and who attend regular schools in the community. === How are boy and girl children treated differently? === === Are premarital relations allowed? === Allowed and in fact expected. The ideal of female virginity at marriage existed among them only as an affectation of the high aristocracy, and then only for a hundred years or so. In post-Revolutionary days it actually had negative value. That's faded now, but the assumption would be that both bride and groom would have been sexually active before their marriage. === How does your society define incest? Rape? How do people react to these? === === What, if anything, is considered a good marriage gift? === === What secret vice is believed to be widely practiced? === === What secret vice actually is practiced? === === What sexual habits are widely believed common among foreigners? === All kinds of unsavory ones, frankly: bestiality, rape, pedophilia. They think the entire English-speaking world is obsessed with the first; they're constantly talking about it and making jokes about sheep, or reindeer. They think the Japanese are addicted to rape and child porn. Acceptance of homosexuality hasn't spread very far compared to the rest of the First World, and it's very much seen as a part of "foreign culture", like Libertarianism and pizza. (But see below for what they think "homosexuality" means.) === How do people react to homosexuality? === Fairly poorly, overall -- it's seen as a mild form of mental illness that, like Tourette's Syndrome, is socially embarrassing and best kept quiet. There's no legal sanction against it nowadays, and in fact it's illegal to discriminate against homosexuals (though only insofar as it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of physical or mental handicaps). However, that's complicated by the local definition of homosexuality. Cross-laborers have been widespread for hundreds of years, and at least since the 1500s strongly institutionalized as something approaching the modern concept of "identities". The catch is that native culture strictly recognizes them as members of the adopted gender in all respects, including definition of their appropriate sexual partners. Hence the scandal and public outrage in '62 when a certain fighter pilot and WW2 hero, considered a role model of manliness to an entire generation, was found to be cohabiting with another man... even though said pilot was biologically female. ''That'' was considered "homosexuality" by the Kildamni. === How do the genders dress? === === Is prostitution legal? How are prostitutes viewed?

If not, do you have a concountry or are you interested in having one? I'm going to make a conworld that has the same geography and nearly the same history as ours - and is set during the present day. However, I only plan to maintain one concountry (Prussia), which covers Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein, the former East Germany and, as an imperial possession, Crimea. The rest of the land I have open up for other people to use. Note that I've set aside the Bavarian Forest also for another member that might want it. Your language, Háfrig has a few Indo-European influences, so I thought I'd let you know. Should you be interested, you can pick any part of my vacant world. The borders don't have to be the same as they are on Europe *here*. You can have an empire spread across other continents if you like. With this project, I want a sense of a community, but within that comes freedom to do what you like; there are no strict rules other than the one that states each concountry should have a conlang (not a natlang) attached to it. Land is allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Regards, Sean. --[[User:Pisceesumsprecan|S.C. Anderson]] 16:48, 18 March 2009 (UTC) :I accept your offer with pleasure. Some years ago, when I first thought of creating a conlang (that was called Háfrig too, that's why I started to use the name Avorenta for the modern version) I also made a map of a fictional island where this language is spoken. But maybe a European country would be better. As I am a Hungarian, I would like to "occupy" the area of the [[Wikipedia:Kingdom of Hungary in the Middle Ages|medieval Hungary]]. But I must tell you that unfortunately I don't have too much time to develop the concountry because I'm still a student. So maybe it would be made very slowly. :Regards,<br>Attila ([[User:HafrigisSurnogion|HafrigisSurnogion]] 17:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)) [[image:Europe.png]] Is the orange bit okay for you? If so, I'd just like you to state the name of the country and if you would like your language's flag to also be the flag of your country. Thereafter, feel free to progress at your own pace. The green land is mine, so we will share a border. More information will be available later in the project, but any land you have will stay yours for ever. :The name of the country will be ''Agenirand'' and the flag you can find on the Háfrig page will be the flag of the contry too.<br>Well, can I have Transylvania and a part of Croatia instead of Austria? (The whole Carpathian basin belonged to the Hungarian Kingdom and I would like to reach the Adriatic Sea) As for Czech Republic, there could be a corridor in order to share a border with you, but it's not important for me to own all of the country. You can see the borders [[Wikipedia:File:Österreich-Ungarns Ende.png|here (the light pink area)]] (without the corridor to Prussia). :I've updated the map. I've given you from Europe *here* Hungary, Slovakia, part of Romania (Transylvania) and, because I don't have qualms about giving them, the full territories Czech Republic and Crotia. If you object to having them, I'm willing to cut them down. :Thank you, the updated version of the map is excellent. How should I continue? :I'm glad you like it. You can move ahead at your own pace. You could start by making a page about your concountry. I'll probably make a special portal so it's like a wiki within a wiki when I get more people onboard and combine everything. Anything you like can happen in your country. You are free also to plan worldwide events, but tell me about these so I can keep things consistent. And you can make pacts and alliances, etc. I'll start by asking if you want to be part of a European Union.--[[User:Pisceesumsprecan|S.C.

Emeigu 6353 44733 2009-04-20T21:01:22Z Gremlins 177 /* Verbal Morphology */ Emeigu (Emeigu: The language of Eigu) is an isolating-fusional ergative-dechticaetiative language. == Phonology == ===Phoneme Inventory=== Emeigu distinguishes the following consonants: {| border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | |'''Labial''' |'''Dental''' |'''Alveolar''' |'''Palatal''' |'''Velar''' |'''Glottal''' |- |'''Plosive/Affricate''' |'''p''' /p/ '''b''' /b/ |'''t''' /t/ '''d''' /d/ | |'''č''' /ʨ/ |'''k''' /k/ '''g''' /g/ | |- |'''Fricative''' | | |'''s''' /s/ |'''š''' /ɕ/ | |'''h''' /h/ |- |'''Nasal''' |'''m''' /m/ | |'''n''' /n/ |'''ny''' /ɲ/ |'''ng''' /ŋ/ | |- |'''Liquid''' |'''w''' /w/ | |'''r''' /ɾ/ '''l''' /l/ |'''y''' /j/ | | |} There are five vowel phonemes, /i e a o u/, represented by '''i e a o u''', as well as five diphthongs, all falling: /ai au ei eu oi ou/, '''ai au ei eu ou'''. In native words, /o u/ only occur in closed syllables. Orthographically, the diphthongs are distinguished from two discrete vowel nuclei with an apostrophe, e.g. '''tai''' /tai/ '''ta'i''' /ta.i/. /ng/ is distinguished from /ŋ/ the same way. ===Syllable Structure=== Emeigu has a simple (C)V(m n t s) syllable structure, with the caveat that coda '''s''' only occurs after /a/. ===Allophony=== -/n/ assimilates to the point of articulation of any following consonant /ankas/ [ɐŋ'kas] -Unstressed vowels, and stressed vowels in closed syllables, tend to be realised as lax [ɪ ɛ ɐ ɔ ʊ], except after a palatal, where /a/ tends to be realised as [æ]. ==Verbal Morphology== Emeigu verbs are conjugated for voice, mood, tense and transitivity. ===The Verbal Noun=== The verbal noun is the citation form of the verb. It is formed by '''-ni''', '''-ini''' after a consonant: '''kimini''' ''eat'', '''nauni''' ''say'', '''namani''' ''bite''. The only verbal inflection which may occur before the verbal noun is for voice, e.g. '''namuni''' ''bite something'', '''kimasini''' ''eat oneself''. ===Voice=== Tanemantin verbs are marked for one of three voices: Default, Antipassive, and Reflexive. The default is the unmarked voice: '''kim-''', '''nau-''', '''nama-'''. The antipassive is marked by '''-u''' after plain stem, which displaces any final '''a''' or '''e'''. After monosyllabic stems ending in a vowel and after '''i o e''', it is '''-yu''': '''kimu-''', '''nauyu-''', '''namu-'''. The reflexive is marked by '''-(a)s''' after the stem: '''kimas-''', '''naus-''' '''namas-'''. ===Mood=== Emeigu verbs Lotá Pronouns 6354 44203 2009-03-17T05:17:34Z Humancadaver101 212 New page: Lotá distinguishes the following pronouns: Nominative {| border=1 ! |align=center| Singular |align=center| Plural Inclusive/Plural Proximate |align=center| Plural Exclusive/Plur...

Animate nouns are marked as plural with the suffix '''-wa''': '''koi''' "dog" '''koiwa''' "dogs". However, there is a small class of nouns with suppletive forms originally derived from reduplication, mostly relationship terms: '''ama''' "mother", '''ameme''' 'mothers', '''ban''' "sister" '''bamen''' "sisters", as well as some other nouns: '''yaʔ''' "man", '''yaʔyi''' "men". ==Pronouns== ==Personal Pronouns== Geological History of Galhaf 6364 45487 2009-05-18T23:22:38Z Christina 18 /* Hesperoprotomacrozoic Era */ VERY incomplete guide to the geological history of [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]] == Prebiotic Eon == The Prebiotic Eon began with the formation of Galhaf, c. 5.3 billion years ago and ended c. 4.8 billion years ago with the appearance of the first primitive [[paleoprokaryota|prokaryotes]].

This was a reform brought about by the then King Curan I, after he decreed that the current Thaduracian writing system, which had been based on the old Etruscan alphabet, was becoming too ambiguous to use with the quickly changeing language. Thaduracian script had originally been used to write the old language when it was a syllabary, and although the language had undergone significant changes, the old writing system had still been used. This however, had lost its phonetic value, something which Curan was keen to bring back. He didn't want to adapt Thaduracian, rather move into Latinization to keep in line with his 'European favour', but this brought about much opposition from the provincial councils, and since the provinces had a fair degree of autonomy, this was something that Curan couldn't enforce without a majority vote. It was eventually agreed that an alphabet would be drafted 'based' on the Latin alphabet, so as to retain some individuality for the nation. Although Dalscript was eventually replaced by a Latin variant in the early 19th Century, its form remained virtually unaltered throughout its 900 years in use. The only change that was made was in the 15th Century, when the '''isolated character value''' reform was brought in, again due to the evolution of the language. =='''Noteable Features'''== * There are 30 standard alphabet glyphs. There is an uppercase system, except for the characters denoting '''x, Þ''' and '''z'''. * Direction is left to right in horizontal lines * noun/adjective/(some) verb endings, plural and some conjunctions are all represented by a single glyph * all prepositions are represented by the alphabet and affix glyphs in isolation * personal pronouns in the nominative and accusative are also represented by exisiting or altered glyphs, again when used in isolation =='''Dalscript'''== ===Alphabet'''=== [[Image:Dalscript alphabet.gif]] ===Isolated Character Values=== [[Image:Dalscript isolated values.gif]] ===Affix and Pronoun representatives=== [[Image:Dalscript affix and pronoun characters.gif]] Athonite Vocabulary: People 6366 47927 2009-08-03T01:28:07Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Blanked the page File:Dalscript alphabet.gif 6367 44466 2009-03-26T09:55:28Z Rivendale 279 File:Dalscript isolated values.gif 6368 44469 2009-03-26T10:22:27Z Rivendale 279 File:Dalscript affix and pronoun characters.gif 6369 44470 2009-03-26T10:32:53Z Rivendale 279 Macrozoic Collapse 6370 44482 2009-03-26T19:31:12Z Christina 18 New page: The '''Macrozoic Collapse''' was a mass-extinction that marked the end of the [[Geological History of Galhaf#Protomacrozoic Eon|Protomacrozoic Eon]], approximately 820 million years ago. ...

It began as a protectorate of the [[Fifth Kasshi Empire|Kasshi Empire]]. After [[Dzesa]]'s dismissal as First Advisor to the Empress, the various protectorates and tributaries of the Empire began to be administered more colonially. The Protector of the Protectorate of Zobar at the time was Princess Waleth, a younger sister of the then-Empress. Princess [[Waleth Taranakh|Waleth]] had assimilated to Zobarian culture, and became very sympathetic to them. She sought to maintain Zobarian autonomy, but when that failed, she proclaimed independence, with herself as Queen. Violence was short, however, no recognition of the state was granted by the Kasshi until 792. Queen Waleth was an enlightened ruler, building her nation's economy and education, gradually phasing out Kasshi officials for native, until at last, when she stepped down, she was succeeded by a native as King. == Politics == Zobar uses a popular-monarchist form of government. The head of state is the Monarch, elected for life from the Senate, by the People. The legislature consists of two houses, the Senate, and the Popular Assembly. Senators are elected for life. To run for Senator, one must have at least 5 years of experience in provincial government, either in the legislature or governorship, or must have at least 5 years of experience in the Popular Assembly. The Popular Assembly consists of individuals elected for five-year terms by the public. All voting is done by universal suffrage of individuals over the age of 25. The nation's political scene is stable, with no coups since the establishment of the nation. There is a thriving multi-party system, with commendable openness. == Economy == Zobar is the wealthiest nation in Kraya, one of the few Krayan nations to match Odiran standards.

There exists what i... The Prussian government believes that education is the key to every aspect of a decent society, but also recognises that there should be a greater level of opportunity. There exists what is referred to as a staggered system, one of distinct stages, but also at some stages, branch into different areas. ==Stage 1== ===Branch 1: ''Grundshol''=== ''Grundshol'' or 'ground school' is the first stage of education. A Prussian will first attend at the approximate age of six years. No curriculum is specified by the government, which believes that this narrows a pupil's knowledge and makes education too goal-orientated rather than geared towards the enrichment of the pupil. There is a stress on fun activities for children to explore their abilities and a good deal of freedom so that a child is able to choose what they will do to achieve a daily objective. Subjects at ''grundshol'' include West Germanic, numeracy and 'world awareness', which comprises the basics of various major languages, science, history, geography, culture and religion into topic-based lessons. For example, in one week, pupils might draw comparisons between the Roman Empire and the countries it has become since its dissolution; what has changed and what has stayed the same? There are no examinations in ''grundshol'', but each pupil is tracked from time to time by an external official. A pupil leaves ''grundshol'' when he is fourteen or fifteen years old. ===Branch 2: ''Helpshol''=== Pupils who are deemed to struggle to keep up with others can be moved to a ''helpshol'' or 'help school'. Although criticised by some for creating divisions and shame, the Prussian government responds that it is unfair not only to slow others more capable down, but also to keep a child in an environment in which he feels uncomfortable. People in ''helpshol'' can be promoted back to ''grundshol'', but those who do not stay in ''helpshol'' for as long as it takes to acquire basic skills and will receive heavy support from the government throughout their futures. ==Stage 2== ===Branch 1: ''Heevodshol''=== ''Heevodshol'' or ''head school'' is one of two options for pupils after they have left ''grundshol''. ''Heevodshol'' has a very academic stance and relies on a gradual 'process of elimination'. A pupil will commence with all of the subjects on his table like one in a UK secondary school in Years 7 and 8. However, instead of being forced to do the subjects and then choose at the start of a new year, regular progress checks are provided, allowing students to drop subjects they don't want to do along the way. Additionally, the subjects they keep become more specialised. At the age of 16 or 17, most students will have specialities in three or four subjects, like A-Levels in the UK, and will produce both coursework assignments and examination assignments to achieve qualifications.

MR Etiquette 6377 47699 2009-07-24T15:23:20Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Blanked the page Realm of the Tarakasane 6378 44577 2009-04-02T18:53:34Z Sirica 257 The '''Realm of the Tarakasane''' ([[Itarakoske]]: ''Aknaina ne-i-Tarakasane'', or simply ''i-Aknaina'' "The Realm") is am umbrella term used to define the areas where the [[Tarakasane]] generally reside. This designation also carries great political weight in the general thinking of the Tarakasane, since their conception of which lands belong to the Tarakasane is tightly linked to the lands over which their political system and empire should hold sway. A naturally nebulous term, given the ever changing cultural identification of the Tarakasane themselves, it can be interpreted narrowly or broadly. As the former it tends to refer to the "Ancestral Realms" (Aknainane Hebastya), the lands around and between the two great rivers [[Meidorien]] and [[Insarien]]. Wider definitions would include lands farther to the north, all the way to the lakes that feed the [[Atgama]] river; to the northeast all the way to the [[Surmugas Mountains]]; to the south all the way to the sea; and to the west along the northern edge of the [[Pansurte Mountains]].

Unlike most previous dynastic regimes that had ruled over the Tarakasane, many of whom took the throne by palace coups and with relatively little bloodshed, the founding of the [[Lein Dynasty]] came only after an uprising and nine years of fierce combat before the reigning [[Hara Dynasty]], and the vassal states loyal to it, were finally subjugated.

For instance: tiseahutir tis-ea-hutir home-GEN-dog This can be glossed as "(the) dog's/dogs' house", "(the) house for (the) dog(s)" (ie: doghouse), or "(the) house made of dogs". Of course, all of those meanings can be rephrased through longer constructions: tis ceih hutir subejoah / makej hutir home REL dog own-PRES-REAL-3 / belongto-PRES-REL dog (the) house that (the) dog(s) own / belongs to (the) dogs tis ceih hutir boaneicejoah home REL dog use-PRES-REAL-3 (the) house which (the) dog(s) use tis ceih neibeidojoah neih hutir home REL make-PAST-REAL-3 DAT dog (the) house (some one) made out of (a) dog(s). So the alternatives are either overly long, roundabout, but quite precise phrases or highly ambiguous out of context yet quite simple compounds in Faraneit. The genitives are preferred forms in most registers since context nearly always makes it clear, but [[Poleiseam Faraneik]] uses a separate construction to talk about materials or properties, based on the genitive: tis fheis neibeidoejeahuetir home LOC make-PAST-REAL-GEN-dog (the) house in dog's making = the house made of dogs This in turn is contrasted with tiseaneibeidoejeahuetir home-GEN-make-PAST-REAL-GEN-dog (the) dog's/dogs' past makings of house(s) = the house made by dogs Of course, the latter is expressed completely differently in most other dialects of Faraneit, which prefer this construction, inherited from Standard Faraneit: tis cieh hutir neibeidojoah home(s) REL dog(s) make-PAST-REAL-3 House(s) that (the) dog(s) made. [[Kupmec Faraneit]], however, adopted these alternative constructions during the Poleizeih occupation, but also uses the forms originating from Standard Lescealh Faraneit - the maximum number of options. Neither variant is really preferred.

The word "Longrimol" means the "tongue of those who speak a lot", and it comes from verb ''longran'' - to speak alot, "the doer" suffix ''-im'' and language indicating suffix ''-ol''". ==Internal History== Longrimol, same as other '''elvish''' languages of Eramár (the word ''Eramár'' is a compound of Longrimol '''eré/first''' and '''(a)már/world''') derives from Ancient Elvish. After the Assault of Thunur (known by Longrim as Gurhathim [gurhaθim])to the Isle of Undoomed ('''Ehta Variárce''' in Ancient Elvish) and the Great Sinking, two branches of Elvish Language Separated - the [[Quebut]] speaking branch and [[Acrit]] speaking branche. As Quebut speaking elves journeyed to the North and West, by the Tadhaum Onor (Hills of Sun), a group of elves separated. These separatists developed a language called Primitive Dhrimish/Primitive Dhrimian. As time passed, the elves departed to Normád and developed a language called Dhrimíl Arva (the Classical Dhrimian Tongue). In result of [[Conquest of Nadriel]] the various elven kingdoms of Normád were united and Dhrimíl Arva became the lingua franca of the intire region. The other Cvebut speaking tribe, those that did not stay in Tadúm Onor, traveled further to North, for a time dwelt in Silimáth (again Longrim name for '''Lands of Light'''), developing Primitive Nagatol (Nagatol - the Tongue of North) or the so called [[Silimáthian]]. As the Northern Elves started their journey to West, Primitive Nagatol, which was highly alike the Cvebut, developed into the beautiful Nagatol of [[Nagadail]] (Nagadail was the Kingdom of Northern Elves located to the North of Darandór). When dragon Thaifatir (the Reptile of Fire) assaulted Nagadail, a great number of Northern elves flied from they homes into the West, passing the Great Wood in north of Darandór, coming in contact with many languages and dialects of their kin, yet so developed they were no longer mutually intelligible. When these Northern Elves reached the coast of See of Normád, they had already taken over [[Old Longrimol]] - a daughter language of Arvanian, which had nearly no signs of any Nagatol influence. As the Northern Elves passed the Sea of Normád and reached Dôr Dhulrent (the Guarded Realm), the tongue swiftly developed into the [[Middle Longrimol]]. This was an unstable language, quickly breaking and falling apart in numerous dialects with one standardized literary language - Classical Longrimol (which is described in this article). ==External History== The author was highly influenced by Welsh, Gaelic and [[Sindarin]] by the time he started inventing this tongue. The work began of September of 2008, yet since then made many drastic changes of phonology and grammar had occurred, the language has changed so much, the earliest attestations of it are no longer recognizable. Only some parts of the vocabulary have survived. During the development, more and more of [[Finnish language|Finnish]] and [[Latvian language|Latvian]] (which is author's native language) influence showed up. The mostly isolating primitive form of Longrimol has evolved in a highly synthetic, mostly agglutinative, one-Longrimol-word-for-a-whole-English-sentence language. ==Grammar== Sea also [[Grammar of Longrimol]] Longrimol is a highly inflecting language, marking grammatical number and case on nouns, person, tense, mood and aspect on verbs and definiteness and number on adjectives by help of inflections. ==Phonology== ===Vowels=== {| class="wikitable" border="1" style="text-align:center" ! rowspan="2" | &nbsp; ! colspan="2" | [[Front vowel|Front]] ! colspan="2" | [[Central vowel|Central]] ! colspan="2" | [[Back vowel|Back]] |- ! short !! long ! short !! long ! short !! long |- !

Many (all?) consonants may be geminated. ==Accent== Drake has a pitch accent on the penultimate syllable (2R). When the penult is long, it is a circumflex or falling accent; when it is short, it is grave; in monosyllables with an accent the accent is acute.

I have adopted the Arab grammarian's division into three categories (1) Noun ['''no / ata'''] [[File:Naua no.png]] / [[File:Naua ata.png]], (2) Particle ['''peya'''] [[File:Naua peya.png]], (3) Verb ['''uati'''] [[File:Naua uati.png]]. [[Kala]] does not always follow European models. It discards all redundancies. In English we say “two boys came yesterday”; in [[Kala]] “two boy come yesterday” ['''ta’o tahi yomaye tala'''] it is clear that more than one boy is already indicated by ‘two,’ while ‘yesterday’ shows the time, or tense of the verb. == Sentences == * Most sentences in [[Kala]] contain a verb phrase, typically denoting the occurrence of an action. A verb phrase consists of a verb plus any modifiers. * Most sentences also contain at least one noun phrase, typically denoting a person or thing. A noun phrase consists of a noun plus any modifiers. * The two most important noun phrases are the subject and the object. Their exact meaning depends on the choice of verb, but :loosely speaking, the subject is the person or thing that carries out the action, and the object is the person or thing that is directly affected by the action. === Word Order === * Basic word order is '''SOV''' and is invariable. - * ''(subject) - (object) - (verb)'' :'''tlaka (ke) naka anya''' :<tt>man (TOP) woman see</tt> : The man sees the woman. * ''(subject) - (verb)'' :'''nahi apuaye''' :<tt>girl sing.PAST</tt> : The girl sang. / The girl did sing. * ''(subject) - (complement) - (verb)'' :'''ina manka a''' :<tt>food cold COP</tt> : The food is cold. * ''(subject) - (prepositional phrase) - (verb)'' :'''naka tsa'e kama yalaye''' :<tt>woman through village walk.PAST</tt> : The woman walked through the village. * ''(subject) - (prepositional phrase) - (object) - (verb)'' :'''na'eta itla omena yeta''' :<tt>1s.ACC.2s this apple give</tt> : I give to you this apple. ::(''In this case, the prepositional phrase is replaced by the pronominal construction.'') * ''(subject) - (prepositional phrase) - (verb)'' :'''ta kima poto tayo tse'ek''' :<tt>2s like photo 2s.POSS appear.NEG</tt> : You do not look like your photo. ====Clauses==== *In addition to phrases, some sentences contain clauses, which resemble smaller sentences nested within the larger sentence. :They can modify noun phrases, verb phrases, or the whole of the larger sentence. - * ''(subject) - (clause) - (prepositional phrase) - (verb)'' :'''tlaka ke asaye hina ka'e nuyoku yalaye''' :<tt>man CONJ live.PAST here to New York go.PAST</tt> : The man who lived here went to New York. * ''(subject) - (clause) - (verb)'' :'''na ke ha aya a omu''' :<tt>1s CONJ 3s beautiful COP think</tt> : I think that she is beautiful. ==Nouns== * Nouns include [[Wikipedia:Pronoun|pronouns]], [[Wikipedia:Adjective|adjectives]] (nouns of quality), and [[Wikipedia:Determiner_(linguistics)|determiners]]. === Affect / Degree === * The diminutive is formed with '''-hi''', and the augmentative with '''-ha'''. These are respectively realized as '''-ki''' and '''-ka''' when attached to a word that has a final syllable containing '''h''' or '''y'''. :Example : '''ina''' - food, meal | '''inahi''' - snack, morsel | '''inaha''' - feast, banquet :Example : '''tsaka''' - house, home, dwelling | '''tsakahi''' - shack, hut, cabin | '''tsakaha''' - palace, mansion * These are also used to differentiate hue, or shade. :Example : '''yanahi''' - light yellow, '''kuyaha''' - dark green * In [[Kala]] the concepts of comparative and superlative degree of an adjective are merged into a single form, the elative. How this form is understood or translated depends upon context and definiteness. In the absence of comparison, the elative conveys the notion of “greatest”, “supreme.” :Example : '''tahaka''' - bigger/biggest | '''tsaka hayo ke nayo tahaka''' - His house is bigger than mine. :Example : '''yanaha''' - more yellow/most yellow | '''ke huam tayo yanaha''' - Your flowers are the most yellow. ===Gender=== *In general, nouns do not indicate their gender. To distinguish the sexes, one can use the adjectival endings '''-ta''' and '''-na'''. :Example : '''nikata''' "a male dog", '''nikana''' "a female dog". === Articles === *There is only one article in '''Kala''', '''ke'''. It is used primarily as a "noun marker". *It is ambi-definite, meaning it can be either definite or indefinite. The distinction is made through context. :Example : '''kama''' "village", '''ke kama''' "the/a village", '''ke kama'a''' "the villages" :Example : '''inahi''' "snack", '''ke inahi''' "the/a snack", '''ke inahim''' "the snacks" ===Number=== * Nouns are either singular, plural or collective. * Concrete nouns are pluralized by suffixing '''-m'''. :Examples : '''kono''' - stone > '''konom''' - stones | '''naka''' - woman > '''nakam''' - women * When the last syllable of a word contains an '''m''', the plural is marked by reduplicating the final vowel. :Examples : '''kama''' - village > '''kama'a''' - villages | '''teyemi''' - phrase > '''teyemi'i''' - phrases * Collective (plural) nouns are marked by prefixing '''tli-'''. :Examples : '''tsaka''' - house > '''tlitsaka''' - neighborhood | '''yama''' - mountain > '''tliyama''' - mountain range * Nouns need not be marked plural if a number is used to show quantity. :Example : '''sahi''' - color > '''sahim''' - colors > '''sahi ya'o''' - five color(s) * Adjectives do not show plural agreement. However, when an adjective is used nominally, it can be pluralized. :Example : '''nyeli''' - pink > '''nyelim''' - (the) pink (ones) ===Pronouns=== * [[Kala]] generally distinguishes four persons, the fourth person indicating abstract and inanimate nouns – both in the singular and plural numbers. There is also a distinction between inclusive (I/we and you) and exclusive (we but not you) forms of the first person plural. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! ''Nominative'' !! ''Accusative'' !!

Past tenses, including perfect and pluperfect, are marked with the suffix '''-ye'''. The present tense is unmarked: * '''na ina''' - <tt>1.S eat</tt> - I eat / I am eating. * '''na inatli''' - <tt>1.S eat.FUT</tt> - I will eat / I am about to eat. * '''na inaye''' - <tt>1.S eat.PAST</tt> - I eat / I was eating / I have eaten / I had eaten. [[Kala]] does not distinguish perfect and imperfect aspects of the verb (e.g. ‘I ate’, ‘I used to eat’, ‘I have eaten’, ‘I had eaten’). However, one can easily clarify the temporal sequence of two actions by marking the earlier one with the adverbial '''tsa''' (‘already’). ===mood=== * The conditional mood is formed with the particle '''iya'''. * '''iya na ina''' - <tt>COND 1.S eat</tt> - I might be eating. * The imperative mood is formed with the particle '''kya'''. * '''kya ina''' - <tt>IMP eat</tt> - Eat! * The negative mood is formed with the suffix '''-k'''. * '''na inak''' - <tt>1.S eat.NEG</tt> - I do not eat / I am not eating. * The volitive mood is formed with the suffix '''-ue''' (from '''ueha''' - to want, desire). * '''na inaue''' - <tt>1.S eat.VOL</tt> - I want to eat. * The necessitative mood is formed with the suffix '''-he''' (from '''heya''' - to need, require). * '''na inahe''' - <tt>1.S eat.NEC</tt> - I need to eat. * The abilitative mood is formed with the suffix '''-pa''' (from '''pala''' - to be able). * '''na inapa''' - <tt>1.S eat.ABIL</tt> - I am able to eat./ I can eat. ===voice=== * The passive voice is formed by attaching the accusative prefix '''e-''' to the pronoun. * '''ena ina''' - <tt>ACC.1.S eat</tt> - I am eaten. / I am being eaten. ==Particles== ===Prepositions=== ===Conjunctions=== ==Questions== * There are three kinds of question: those that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no", those that present a range of options to choose from, and those that ask for a particular piece of information. *Additionally, questions can be direct ("Where are we going?") or indirect ("I asked you where we are going", "I don't know who I am"). ===Yes/No questions=== * A sentence can be turned into a yes/no question by adding '''a'''? ("yes?") or '''ak'''? ("no?") just before the interrogative particle '''ka'''. : : * Do you speak German? :'''ta alemanyatla kala ka''' :<tt>2S Germany.Language speak INT.PART</tt> * Did you eat? :'''ta inaye ka''' :<tt>2S eat.PAST INT.PART</tt> * We're lost, aren't we? :'''nam kayo ak ka''' :<tt>1P lost COP.NEG INT.PART</tt> * Does she understand? :'''ha unya ka''' :<tt>3S understand INT.PART</tt> ====Indirect==== * I want to know whether the food has arrived. :'''na iya ke ina talaye unyaue''' :<tt>1S COND.PART TOP.PART food come.PAST know.VOL</tt> * She asked if I could help. :'''ha iya ke na yotapa kanyoye''' :<tt>3S COND.PART TOP.PART 1S help.ABIL ask.PAST</tt> * The answer to a yes/no question is '''a''' ("yes") or '''ak''' ("no"), '''a''' states that the possibility expressed in the question is true; '''ak''' states that it is false: * '''ta nkapaue ka''' - <tt>2S alcohol.VOL INT.PART</tt> – Do you want (a) beer? :* '''tsepa a''' - <tt>please yes</tt> – Yes, please. (I do want beer) :* '''nyasak''' - <tt>thank you.NEG</tt> – No, thanks. (I don't want beer) ===Alternative questions=== * An alternative question simply asks the listener to pick one of a number of options, usually expressed as a list joined with the conjunction '''ua''': * '''ta tsa'i ua kaua ua nkapa ueha ka''' - <tt>2S tea or coffee or beer want INT.PART</tt> – Do you want tea, coffee, or beer? :* '''tsepa kaua''' - <tt>please coffee</tt> – Coffee, please. * '''ta nya tsiti ua uelo ua yala talaye ka''' - <tt>2S tea or coffee or beer want INT.PART</tt> - Did you come by car, or by bicycle, or did you walk? ===Other questions=== * Other questions use interrogative determiners or pronouns such as '''ote''', '''ko''', '''ke''', '''ama''', '''ku''', '''to''', '''mo''', and '''nye'''. The interrogative word appears at the beginning of the sentence: * '''ote mosa ke ta yomu ka''' - <tt>which book TOP.PART 2S read INT.PART</tt> - Which book are you reading? * '''ko moyako ke ta tsopo ka''' - <tt>person write.AG TOP.PART 2S prefer INT.PART</tt> - Who is your preferred author? * '''ke itla maka kapi ka''' - <tt>TOP.PART this music ugly INT.PART</tt> - What is this ugly music? * '''ke ta muya ka''' - <tt>TOP.PART 2S do INT.PART</tt> - What are you doing? * '''ama ta moku ka''' - <tt>time 2S sleep INT.PART</tt> - When do you sleep? * '''ku ta inatli ka''' - <tt>amount 2S eat.FUT INT.PART</tt> - How much will you eat? * '''to ta yalaye ka''' - <tt>way 2S walk.PAST INT.PART</tt> - How did you walk? * '''mo nam a ka''' - <tt>place 1P COP INT.PART</tt> - Where are we? * '''nye ta empa ka''' - <tt>reason 2S run INT.PART</tt> - Why are you running? ===Clauses=== ==Numbers== ===Cardinal Numbers=== *'''e'o''' - zero / nothing *'''na'o''' - one *'''ta'o''' - two *'''ha'o''' - three *'''ma'o''' - four *'''ya'o''' - five *'''tsa'o''' - six *'''ka'o''' - seven *'''pa'o''' - eight *'''sa'o''' - nine *'''ue'o''' - ten *'''nye'o''' - (one) hundred *'''tle'o''' - (one) thousand *'''mue'o''' - ten thousand *'''kye'o''' - (one) hundred thousand *'''nte'o''' - (one) million === Higher Numbers === * '''uena'o''' - eleven / 11 * '''taue'o''' - twenty / 20 * '''nyeka'o''' - one hundred seven / 107 * '''hanyetauetsa'o''' (''long form'') | '''hatatsa'o''' (''short form'') - three hundred twenty six / 326 * '''tsatletauema'o''' - six thousand and twenty four / 6024 ===Ordinal Numbers=== * '''ki'''- - ordinal prefix :Example : '''kisa'o''' - ninth (in a sequence) :Example : '''kiyanyepa'o''' - 508<sup>th</sup> ===Fractions=== * '''i'''- - fractional prefix :Example : '''isa'o''' - a ninth, 1/9 :Example : '''iha'o te pa'o''' - three eighths, 3/8 [lit: a third of eight] ==Word formation== ==Punctuation== ''See'': [[Kala_writing#punctuation|Moya]] == Index == {{Kala index}} [[Category:Conlangs]][[Category:Kala]] Template:Kala 6423 57342 2010-11-06T00:14:27Z Qang 1187 __NOTOC__ <center> <big>[[#p|p]] [[#t|t]] [[#k|k]] [[#m|m]] [[#n|n]] [[#s|s]] [[#h|h]] [[#l|l]] [[#a|a]]</big> </center> User:Zefazji 6424 45086 2009-05-02T08:34:00Z Zefazji 1293 New page: Main Conlang: [[Zefāzh]] Main Conlang: [[Zefāzh]] Zefāzh 6425 45429 2009-05-16T18:24:14Z Zefazji 1293 /* Verbs */ '''Zefāzh''' is a language developped in the early-mid twenty-first century, spoken at first primarily by devoted followers of the World-Maker Zef; within a decade, it had become the lingua franca for those from all over the world immigrating to Zefasja, a nation founded on a partially esoteric philosophical movement referred to varyingly as "Zefism," "Poetic Imperialism" or "Trinitism." It is notable among European languages for a few features, mainly its large number of fricatives and the fact that verbs do not agree in number or person with the subject, or any other part of speech. ==Vocabulary== The first occurence of the Zefāzh language was the ''Endese Zauka'' ("The Last Days"), a text reportedly written by Zef after he emerged from a coma of several months. While Zef himself understood the language, it was months before it was analysed by linguists with his help, and when the major analysis was complete, the vocabulary of the language was broken down into its origins. The largest group of words appear to be generic Germanic derivatives, though no pattern for derivation has been detected; German plays the largest role, but germanic English words also appear, and often words show up which are halfway between their German and English cognates; this might be explained by the fact that Zef himself spoke only English and German with great fluency. The second largest group of nouns appear to have little or no relation to natural languages, and their origins are for the most part a mystery. A smaller group of nouns is derived from Russian, potentially due to the relatively large presence of Russians in the Exile in the last year before Zef's coma. A few of the nouns are also from other Slavic languages, or appear to be Slavic without any particular link to any known words. Many of these Slavic words are less recognizable than the germanic terms, because Slavic words with complexe consonant clusters are extremely watered-down, to the point where some completely lose half their consonants. Finally, there are a handful of words derived from Mandarin Chinese (''Yishū'', art; ''zhintī'', today; etc.), and an extremely small number of terms (the most often cited figure is seven words) are derived from Ancient Greek, or their modern international derivatives. The most well-known of these is ''Xeishon'', meaning "harmonic chaos" and derived from the word ''chaos'', itself of Greek origin. ==Phonology== ===Stress=== Zefāzh is a stress-timed language, and stress in a word is always found on the ultimate syllable of the root, so ''Zagacá'', "mystery," but ''Féngthayēon'', "prison," because -tha and -ēon are suffixes (-tha builds the past participle and -ēon indicates place, so the word literally means "caught-(people)-place"). ===Consonants=== <div style="text-align: center;> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=13 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Postalveolar ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Uvular ||colspan=2| Coarticulated |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || || || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || {{IPA|θ}} || {{IPA|ð}} || {{IPA|s}} || {{IPA|z}} || {{IPA|ʃ}} || {{IPA|ʒ}} || {{IPA|ç}} || {{IPA|ʝ}}|| || || {{IPA|χ}} || || {{IPA|ɕ}} || {{IPA|ʑ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximant || || || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Tap || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɾ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ʀ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} || {{IPA|ɫ}} |} </div> ===Vowels=== <div style="text-align: center;> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=1| Front ||colspan=1| Near-front ||colspan=1| Near-back ||colspan=1| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close || {{IPA|i}} || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-Close || || {{IPA|ɪ}} || {{IPA|ʊ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Close-Mid || {{IPA|e}} || || || {{IPA|o}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open-mid || {{IPA|ɛ}} || || || {{IPA|ɔ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Open || {{IPA|a}} || || || {{IPA|ɑ}} |} </div> ===Romanization=== The various phonemes are represented with the Latin Alphabet as they are in English, with the following additions/exceptions: /θ/ - th /ð/ - dh /ʃ/ - sh /ʒ/ - zh /ç/ - c /ʝ/ - j /χ/ - x /ɕ/ - ś, or sj /ʑ/ - ź, or zj /ɾ/ - r /r/ - rr /ʀ/ - rh /l/ - l /ɫ/ - ll /ɪ/ - i /i/ - ī, or ii /ɛ/ - e /e/ - ē, or ee /a/ - a /ɑ/ - ā, or aa /ɔ/ - o /o/ - ō, or oo /ʊ/ - u /u/ - ū, or uu The following diphthongs may be found, and are written thus: /aj/ - ai /ɛj/ - ei /ɔj/ - oi /ʊj/ - ui /aw/ - au /ɔj/ - ou ===Syllable Structure=== Zefāzh has a rather restrictive syllable structure, where the most complicated possibility is CCVC. While any consonant can form the onset and coda in a (C)V(C) syllable, only the following clusters are permitted at syllable onsets: /f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, ç, ʝ/ + /n, m, ŋ/ Any plosive or fricative + /ɾ, l, ɫ, j/ ===Mutation=== In addition, when certain phonemes meet up at syllable boundaries (such as with affixes, inflection or conjugation), certain mutations may occur. The following mutations occur during inflection of nouns and adjectives: ''Dative Case'' /ɾr/ - /r/ /ʀr/ - /ʀ/ /χr/ - /ʀ/ /θr/ - /θɾ/ /ðr/ - /ðɾ/ ''Genitive Case'' /zs/ - /s/ /ʃs/ - /ɕ/ /ʒs/ - /ʑ/ /ɕs/ - /θ/ /ʑs/ - /ð/ ''Instrumental Case'' /ʒʃ/ - /ʃ/ /ɕʃ/ - /ʃ/ /ʑʃ/ - /ʒ/ ==Grammar== Zefāzh is an inflecting langauge with a grammar mostly derived from German, with Russian influences and certain features whose origins or reasons for inclusion remain uncertain. It is particularly notable for being the only major spoken language to have a fully-fledged Dual. ===Number=== There are three numbers in Zefāzh: Singular, Dual and Plural, which is used for all numbers above 2. There is a complete set of pronouns exclusively within the dual, most notably two separate first person pronouns which vary according to familiarity and intimacy of the two in question. Dual is formed by adding certain vowels to the end of the word, depending on the last vowel to be found within the word; it is formed such that the new vowel is never the same as the last vowel; long and short a, o, u recieve a long i, while long and short e and i recieve a short a. Plural is also notable in that it is formed by repeating the short form of the immediately preceding vowel, whichever vowel that might be. In both cases, the vowel indicating number comes immediately after the vowel indicating case. If the last sound in a word is a vowel, a /j/ is inserted between the two vowels (e.g. ''rrasta'' "plant;" ''rrastaya'' "plants") ===Case=== There are six cases in full use in Zefāzh: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genitive, Instrumental and Associative. Each case (except Nominative and Accusative) is marked by the insertion of a consonant at the end of the word, but before any number markers. When the addition of the consonant would create an impossible consonnant cluster (in practice, all words ending in a consonant), a vowel is also added after the consonant in the singular. In the case of Accusative, the vowel only appears in the singular, and the accompanying /j/ acts as a buffer between two vowels. The inflection is as follows: '''Nominative:''' ''no declension'' '''Accusative:''' [y]ō '''Dative:''' rr[ī] '''Genitive:''' s[ē] '''Instrumental:''' sh[ē] '''Associative:''' t[ū] ===Verbs=== Despite the fact that verbs to not agree with the subject, they nevertheless conjugate to express a variety of moods and tenses. There are in total five moods in Zefāzh: Indicative, Conditional, Reported, Imperative and Indefinite. Indicative is used for statements of fact or opinion; conditional is used for hypothetical situations; reported is used for conveying indirect speech, rumour or hearesay; imperative is used for giving orders; and indefinite is used to describe things with great emphasis, or to comment events taking place at that very instant. The first three of these moods have past, present and future, and the last two two have only one tense which might be called present. In addition, there are particles and partially defective verbs that add to complexity. Verbs are conjugated by removing the -en ending and adding set suffixes instead, as follows. '''Indicative''' Past: -all Present: -ūt Future: -ra '''Conditional''' Past: -[z]gī* Present: -gai Future: -kā '''Reported''' Past: -zhe Present: -co Future: -xā '''Imperative''' Present: -fū '''Indefinite''' Present: -ē * The conditional -zgi ending only holds the z if the verb root ends on a vowel. Further, there are two particles that aid in specifying the specific nature of an action: '''bē''' expresses the continuous, or the progressive, compare: "''Bi pēcūt''" (He/she speaks) and "''Bi bē pēcūt''" (He/she is speaking) '''ce''' expresses the perfect, compare: "''Ya llaupūt''" (I run) and "''Ya ce llaupūt''" (I have run) File:Kito.GIF 6426 46520 2009-06-24T21:08:56Z Qang 1187 {{Deletion|Qang|irrelevant image}} File:Kito nm.GIF 6427 46521 2009-06-24T21:09:26Z Qang 1187 {{Deletion|Qang|irrelevant image}} File:Kito cons.GIF 6428 46522 2009-06-24T21:09:49Z Qang 1187 {{Deletion|Qang|irrelevant image}} File:Kito clusters.GIF 6429 46523 2009-06-24T21:10:17Z Qang 1187 {{Deletion|Qang|irrelevant image}} File:Kito vwl.GIF 6430 46524 2009-06-24T21:10:36Z Qang 1187 {{Deletion|Qang|irrelevant image}} Main Page/Tower Orthography (Tawyr Oorthaagryfii) 6431 45177 2009-05-04T12:56:49Z Melroch 31 Redirecting to [[Meen Peedx]] #REDIRECT [[Meen Peedx]] [[Category:Main_Page_in_other_languages]] Category:Main Page in other languages 6433 45179 2009-05-04T13:03:04Z Melroch 31 <dpl> titlematch=Main Page% category=Main Page in other languages redirects=include </dpl> Talk:Main Page/Other languages 6434 45180 2009-05-04T13:13:24Z Melroch 31 New page: <dpl> titlematch=Main Page% category=Main Page in other languages mode=inline inlinetext= &nbsp; &bull; &nbsp; replaceintitle=#Main Page/#, redirects=include </dpl> <dpl> titlematch=Main Page% category=Main Page in other languages mode=inline inlinetext= &nbsp; &bull; &nbsp; replaceintitle=#Main Page/#, redirects=include </dpl> ASP 6435 51471 2010-01-13T16:00:04Z Tropylium 756 /* Grammar */ no, wait, got it now This is an attempt at decoding the conlang found in the webcomic [http://aspcomics.net/ A Skewed Paradise]. ==Corpus== ===Leon=== (Catboy thing.

Apostrophes are assumed to mark clitics, as in English. ===Vowels=== At least /i ɛ ɑ/. It remains unclear if ''a'' can also represent /æ/ or /ə/, if ''i'' can also represent /ɪ/ and what ''ee'' represents. Back rounded vowels (/u o/ etc.) do not seem to occur. ===Consonants=== /v z / / l r j h/ /m n / * codas /m n r l h/ * initial clusters /mr nj vj/ * medial clusters /mm hm rj jj/ * morpheme-medial cluster /mv/ ==Grammar== "Azerian" is assumed to be (a vocative of) a proper name, more specifically Leon's name in this language. "Az" is furthermore assumed to be a nickname shortening. "Mera her" can substitute for "veryem". Prefixal ''y-''. Question phrases: * "Ne anyah iram?" * "Yem enin inyanema enya?" * "Nem'era heyyer?" * "Nye ne?" These all appear to share the root ''ne-''. This is however also found in most declarativ phrases, so most likely it is a basic grammatical root (pronominal? copula?) It's also not obvious if ''inyanema'' actually contains the root.

Liu has phonemic vowel and consonant length constrast. Stress is random. == Grammars == === Nouns === Liu has three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. Masculine nouns usually end with -e or -o, and feminines with -a. Neuter nouns have no particular ending. There are four kinds of number: singular, plural, pair and uncountable. The pair, which is not the same as dual, is used about things that consists of two parts (like scissors, pants) or usually appear in pairs (such as gloves, eyes, twins). The singular number has zero marking, while the others are formed by adding suffixes as shown below. In the following tables, the column "Replace with..." shows which suffix is added, depending on what letter(s) the word ends with, as indicated on the column "If word ends with..." If the suffix is preceded by a -, it means that it completely replaces the end of the word specified under "If word ends with..." If it is precided by a + on the other hand, it means that the suffix does not replace the end of the word, but is just added on after it. V stands for any vowel and C for any consonant. The symbols 0, ♂ and ♀ specify words that have the neuter, masculine resp. feminine gender. {| border=1 style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto; text-align: left; background: white; border: 1pt solid #000000;" |+ colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: white;"| Forming the plural |- style="vertical-align: center; width: 25px; font-size: 100%; height: 2em; border: 1pt solid #000000" !

Nagatol is distantly related to [[Longrim|Longrim]], and same as it, belongs to the Quebut Branch in Elvish Language Family. ==Internal History== Nagatol arose in [[Silimath|Silimath]], and developed as the Northern Elves traveled to the West and settled down in West of the Mountains of West, in Kingdom of Nagadail. ==Phonology== Nagatol has preserved many phonological features of the Ancient Elvish and Cvebut which has been lost in other elven languages. Still, Nagatol phonology can't be described as Cvebut-like, since Nagatol is highly less nasal language. ===Consonants=== Stops: p[p]; b[b]; t[t]; d[d]; c[k]and g[g]; Fricatives: f[f]; v[v]; th[θ]; and h[ch]; Nasals: m[m]; n[n]; ng [ŋ]; Approximants: l[l]; (semivowel) y[j]; w [w] Trills: r[r]; Nagatol never developed palatal stops, nasals or approximants. The palatal approximant/semivowel [j] is a rare phoneme. Nagatol has lost it's [w] as separate phoneme also, since it became [v] in all places except in the end of words or in diphthongs (as glide). ===Vowels=== The vowels are: :[a]-[aː] :[e]-[eː] :[i]-[iː] :[u]-[uː] :[ɔ]-[ɔː] :[y]-[yː]* *The [y] sound is seen only in loanwords. ==Grammar== Nothing much is known about Nagatol grammar, since there are almost none full-sentence examples, the most frequent being names of places. ==See also== :[[Longrimol]] A distantly related language :[[Terun-naga]] Those that spoke Nagatol :[[Nagadail]] The Kingdom of Terun-Naga [[Category:Elvish Languages of Eramár]] [[category:Conlangs]] User:Longrim 6442 57771 2010-11-18T12:12:14Z Longrim 1289 Hey!

The language, belonging to the [[Eastern languages (Almea)|Eastern]] family, is also related to Cadhinor in a similar way as Greek is related to Latin by virtue of being Indo-European.

Very little is known of them. They seeded [[Khanda]] and [[Ospendakh]] with life. The First Sentients went extinct 820 million years ago, during the [[Macrozoic Collapse]]. They were a semi-aquatic species, which built vast cities across the continental shelves of late-Hesperoprotomacrozoic Galhaf. Their phylum was among those wiped out during the Macrozoic Collapse.

Among its (unintentional) sources are Spanish, English, Gaelic, Mandarin, Japanese, Polish and some Nordic elements. Its main notable aspects are its dependence upon interpersonal relationships, a four "gender" system and its lilting spoken tone. It is intended to be both spoken and written, both for artistic and more prosaic purposes. The language is still undergoing development as its creator tries to make it 'more realistic' and usable. Suggestions for vocabulary or 'how to get the currently embryonic case system to work properly (!)' are much obliged. {{private}} {{Under-Construction}} ==Cultural Background== A refreshing lingual difference in the monoglot Empire, Sylphic is one of several fringe languages and dialects. Although a widely dispersed tongue, the number of speakers compared to the standard is tiny. Furthermore, the insular nature of the Sylphic speaking community makes it an excellent cultural determiner. Sylphic has a large literary heritage and remains to be used for fiction, histories and the characteristic poetic forms. However, Sylphic is chiefly a spoken language, used by agricultural labourers in the wilderness, the Church, local government and immigrants gone to the big Cities alike. The complex forms and musical form fit the arts well, especially in folk music, with the added advantage that very few eavesdroppers will understand! ==Note From the Creator== I apologise that, at the moment, some elements are made unclear by formatting. As soon as I get the hang of formatting, (hopefully create some tables) this should be much clearer. Also, while the language is still in development could you please not make major changes to the language system itself, though suggestions are much welcomed. Thank you. =Alphabet= Sylphic uses a Roman alphabet, modified with various diacritics, along with a small group of other letters. Vowels come in three 'flavours' (for want of a better word): plain, first derivative coloured or second derivative coloured, or simply: undotted, single dotted, double dotted. Consonants may appear plain or coloured (some being just single dotted, others single and double). Finally there are held vowels and held nasal consonants. These are sounds of a lower pitch, and held for roughly twice the length of other vowels and consonants. The diacritics ´ `^ and ˇ mark "gender" and do not alter pronunciation. The pronunciation guide below is written (for clarity) in English, rather than IPA, and should be approached with a Northern British accent. However, these pronunciations are for guide purposes only! In fact, the sound is more rounded, having a "English singing pronunciation' or more Norwegian sound. Imagine you have a boiled sweet in your mouth as you say these. Furthermore, pronunciation also is altered by context, vowels ending syllables tend to be cut short and vowels before nasals tend to themselves be partly nasalised. ===Plain Vowels=== {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !a |/ar/ as car |- !e |/e/ as bet |- !ı |/i/ as bit |- !o |/o/ as cot |- !u |/u/ as hut |} ===First Derivative Coloured Vowels=== {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !ȧ |/ao/ |- !ė |the relaxed final /a/ of banana |- !i |/ee/ as tree |- !ȯ |/ow/ as row |} ===Second Derivative Coloured Vowels=== {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !ä |/ay/ as bay |- !ë |/ur/ as cur |- !ï |/ich/ as German ich |- !ö |/or/ as sore |- !ü |/oo/ as loot |} ===Plain Consonants=== {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !b |/b/ as but |- !c |/c/ as cat |- !d |/d/ as duck |- !f |/f/ as of |- !g |/g/ as goat |- !h |/h/ as hat |- !j |rolled /j/ as Spanish jota |- !k |/k/ as kit |- !l |/l/ as pull, not as light |- !m |/m/ as map |- !n |/n/ as new |- !p |/p/ as pot |- !q |/c/ as cut |- !r |/r/ as rat |- !s |/s/ as sail |- !t |/t/ as tent |- !v |/v/ as van |- !w |/w/ as water |- !x |/x/ as Xanadu |- !y |/y/ as yet |- !z |/z/ as zoo |} ===Coloured Consonants=== {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !ḃ |/bh/ |- !ċ |/xsh/ |- !ḋ |/dh/ |- !ç |rolled /c/ |- !ḟ |/f/ as flower |- !ġ |a French /j/ as je suis |- !ḣ |unpronounced; denotes a complete expulsion of air from the lungs |- !ḧ |rolled /h/ |- !ṗ |/ph/ as philanthropy |- !ṙ |rolled /rr/ as Spanish perro |- !ṡ |/sh/ as shut |- !ṫ |/th/ as bath, not as there |- !ẗ |/st/ as stop |- !ẇ |/wh/ as what |- !ẅ |/ewh/ |- !ẋ |/ch/ as church |- !ẍ |/sx/: a run on of six, or s-schwa-x |- !ẏ |/dj/ or /j/ as jam |- !ÿ |/I/ as I |- !ż |/sjz/ |} ===Held Vowels and Held Consonants=== Remember to drop pitch when moving to these sounds: there should be a certain sonority to them. {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !ā |long, sighed /a/ |- !ē |long, sighed /e/ |- !ī |long, sighed /i/ |- !ō |long, sighed /o/ |- !ū |long, sighed /u/ |- !ṁ |long, hummed /m/ |- !ṅ |long, hummed /n/ |- !ŋ |long, hummed /ng/ as rigging |} ===Other Letters=== {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !ð |/th/ as there, not as bath |- !æ |/a/ as cat |- !ll |/ll/ as pull, not as light |- ! |rolled /j/ as Spanish jota |- ! |/y/ as yellow |- ! |/dl/ as puddle |- !œ |/oi/ as oil |} =Basic Grammar= ==Basics== ===Noun Types ("Genders")=== Many societies see the world divided up into four elements. The four types of noun have nothing to do with this, but it may help to think along these lines. In fact there is no set reason why one is one thing and one another, but tends to be divided by age, gender, level of complexity of idea, abstract versus prosaic, etc. The definite and indefinite article mark gender, along with the written diacritic upon the ''first un-coloured vowel of the word''. These diacritics are also found on the article. As in Chinese, where tone differentiates between words such as "mother" and "question participle", a single Sylphic word may refer to four different nouns, four different verbs, four adjectives and four adverbs (although they tend to be related). This is clearly defined in writing, where the diacritics and article mark word type. (Gender extends to all word classes). However, in speech, where no article is present, confusion may arise. However, much of the time words across type are roughly synonymous (i.e. in speech there is no big need to differentiate "end" and "finish"). If there is a large difference in meaning across type, then definition is created through context. "The cat sat on the mat" is hardly going to be "the cunning rested on the carpet tile" {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !'''Indefinite Article''' |'''Definite Article''' |- !Qué - |Yá |- !Quèd |Dà |- !Quêl |Lâ |- !Jĕ |Jă |} ===Singular, Dual, Trial, Paucal, Plural=== Singular refers to one object, Dual to two, Trial to three. Paucal refers to 'many' (roughly between four and seven) and Plural refers to 'lots' (at least seven). This is due to Sylphic's base three counting system, only recently adapted to allow decimal numbers. To mark quantity, the following suffixes are applied to the noun. No agreement is needed with adjectives, but is required of verbs. All nouns are count nouns, that is, the word for water refers in fact to a single 'hypothetical' quantity of water. All mass nouns, when used as such, are given the plural suffix. For words ending in vowel sounds: {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !Singular | n/a |- !Dual |s |- !Trial |t |- !Paucal |j |- !Plural |r |} For words ending in consonant sounds: {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !Singular | n/a |- !Dual |ÿs |- !Trial |ÿt |- !Paucal |ÿj |- !Plural |ÿr |} ===Persons=== These tend not to be attached to verbs as in 'I am', as the verb conjugation itself tells enough about tense and person (as in Spanish). However, these words are used rather for formality's sake, to clarify ambiguous statements, as possessives or as the subjects of verb statements. They are altered by case. {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: left" !I |Ä |- !You singular to someone close to the first person |Beäḣ |- !You singular to someone who the first person is respectful / distant to |Bÿ |- !He |Teo |- !She |Teä |- !It |Tÿ |- !One / Impersonal You |Ÿ |- !We including the second person |Ṫi |- !We not including the second person |Ṫÿ |- !You plural to others close to the first person |Leäḣ |- !You plural to others who the first person is respectful / distant to |Lÿ |- !They masculine |Seo |- !They feminine |Seä |- !They genderless objects |Sÿ |} ===Social Honorifics=== When discussing other human beings, or objects given human qualities, Sylphic uses an extended system of honorifics, demonstrating the relationship between the addresser and addressee or person discussed. These are attached (by hyphen) to the end of the name of the addressee or subject. If a name is not present, then this is tagged to the chief noun describing the subject or addressee, such as job titles, descriptions, nouns marking social status, etc. If there are none of these present, the honorific is tagged to the final word of the utterance, or sentence. An similar feature in English is "I'll do that right away, sir". Also, in first utterances, the addressee is often hailed by their honorific. ====Family Relationships==== The English language marks various family relationships such as "brother", "sister", "uncle", "niece", etc. However, Sylphic has a much larger lexis of these. The term "daughter" in English tallies to four possible terms in Sylphic, which coincidentally tally with a system formerly prevalent in the British private school system: major, minor, minimus. An eldest daughter is termed "mȧlá", second "mȧlé", third "mȧló" and younger ones as "mȧlú". Granddaughters are usually termed "mȧlæ". This system produces a very intricate map of family and interfamily relationships. ====Social Relationships==== In English, one addresses another as "sir", "Your Highness", or "ms". The same is true in Sylphic, except it is much greater developed. The list of honorific terms in use is potentially enormous, as roles in, for example, government develop their own honorific. However, there is a body of day-to-day terms such as "dȯlèü": best female friend. It is important to note that the term "dȯlèü" carries an extra differentiation: viability for a romantic relationship, i.e. if you were not both friends then that person could be ''potentially'' attractive. In Sylphic speaking society, a strategic use of honorifics is often employed. ====Usage==== To illustrate this in practice, we may examine the term for "identical twin sister": ÿdà. This may be used as such: * Ẋä-nô igqunœ äẋ ÿdà-læ **This-NOM be-HABIT/3rdSING I-POS identical twin sister-PSD **Literally: This is my identical twin sister *Éfæ-nô-ÿdà igqunœ xâllā **Eva-NOM (my identical twin sister) be-HABIT/3rdSING sleep-ADJ **Literally: Eva is sleepy *Ÿdà, igquı xâllā **Identical twin sister, be-HABIT1stSING sleep-ADJ **Literally: I am sleepy *It also may be the case that one addresses a very close best friend as "ÿdà" as well, in order to demonstrate the closeness of the relationship, mutual respect or sisterly affection. ===Numbers=== ====Cardinal Numbers==== As a point of interest, the Sylphic number system (extended to base ten) is as follows: {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: center" !Zero |Pù |- !One |Yÿ |- !Two |Tzá |- !Three |Twá |- !Four |Kÿ |- !Five |Qúi |- !Six |Sÿs |- !Seven |Süt |- !Eight |Óll |- !Nine |Nüj |- !Ten |Yȧ |- !Twenty |Tȧ |- !Thirty |Twȧ |- !Forty |Kȧ |- !Fifty |Qúȧ |- !Sixty |Syȧ |- !Seventy |Zȧ |- !Eighty |Ói |- !Ninety |Nȧ |- !Hundred |Útä |- !Thousand |Ítia |} ====Ordinal Numbers==== ====Base Three Counting System==== The original base three counting system worked on two principles. The first was a counting system which went as follows: 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, etc, which rose to 333 (that is, 27). The second functioned as a rather more basic system: 1, 2, 3, many, lots (as is present in the plural system). There are specialist words for these hypothetical quantities: ȧfón (many), ȧrlón (lots). ==Using Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs and the Basics of Verbs== ==Verbs== ==Case== ===Note from the creator=== Currently, much of the Sylphic standardisation is taking place in the area of case. However, a working list of case used is possible, although it is likely to be altered at a future date. As of the moment, the case system resembles that of Finnish (and a little of Hungarian) *Nominative *Accusative *Partitive *Prolative *Essive *Translative *Instructive *Abessive *Comitative *Genitive *Locative **Allative **Adessive **Inessive **Elative **Illative **Ablative **Dative ===Deixis=== Sylphic marks six deictic distances, rather than the two used in English (“here”, “there” / “this”, “that”). These are proximal, corporeal, visual, distal, abstract and metonymic. {|border=1px solid black cellspacing=0px cellpadding=5px style="text-align: left" !Proximal |Relating to objects upon, about, or of the body of the speaker. Items of extreme proximity |- !Corporeal |Relating to objects within the range of the grasp of the speaker, or may be physically touched. Items within personal space |- !Visual |Relating to objects within visual range and may be directly gestured at. Items up to the horizon |- !Distal |Relating to objects beyond the line of sight, over the horizon, although theoretically within range of the speaker’s ability to travel |- !Abstract |Relating to objects beyond the speaker’s ability to travel. A long way away. Also used when describing theoretical objects, concepts, or within fictions. Items not possible to inspect |- !Metonymic |Relating to objects represented. This used to typically refer to the object in an image, that has left footprints or tracks, or any artefact. Modern examples include pointing at a video and saying ''that’s the Prime Minister'' |} ==Constructing Sentences and Utterances== ==Peculiarities== ==Speaking Sylphic== ===Tone and Pronunciation=== Speaking Sylphic fluently involves the adoption of the rising and falling tone of the language. Rules governing pitch are very rough, but as a set of guidelines, the following tends to cover most aspects. Single syllable: Down (and short). Double syllable (ending in vowel sound): Down - up. Double syllable (ending in consonant sound or æ): Up - Down or Down - up. Double syllable (ending in climax vowel / consonant): Up - Down. Triple syllable: single syllable - double syllable or up - double syllable. Quadruple syllable: down - up - down - up. Quintuple syllable: up - down - up - down - up. This is by no means an exhaustive list. Someone recently remarked that it sounded like a cross between Shetland, Spanish and Liverpudlian. ===Honorifics=== Take care to use the correct honorifics for each social situation, it can be considered impolite to misaddress someone. ===Verbs=== When speaking, it is permissible to only use the simpler verb tenses (rather than the more specific forms used in writing). This can make speaking the language much easier. In an informal situation, using 100% correct grammar suggests an impolite superiority complex, or being excessively sarcastic (correct grammar in speech can equate to saying "yeah, right"). Furthermore, don't panic over gender, as it will probably be clear which sense of a word you mean. =Dictionary= ===The Dictionary=== The dictionary is still under massive reconstruction, each word that had been invented being tested and formalised. These are the words that have so far made it through. Please, please, please, don't hesitate to suggest more vocabulary; as long as it follows the rules (and is not too stupid) it should be accepted. The more people who get involved the better. The current dictionary is available as a .pdf (as it is far too complicated a job to reformat it here). You can view it here: [http://www.easy-share.com/1904836331/Sylphic Dictionary v1.1.pdf] (When the first page has loaded, wait a few seconds, then click the download for free button) The dictionary will be updated over time ===Growth of Vocabulary=== As people who speak one language go out and meet other people who speak a different language, then linguistic items are exchanged. If speakers of another conlanguage want to exchange lexis on a low level, then I am more than happy for this to take place. ====Other Conlangs==== As an intellectual exercise, I have attempted to transliterate the names of some other conlangs described on another Conlang site: *Nȧléqæn *Ḣélıkoṅ *Úṁbriænæ *Glȯt *Áliṡyæ =Cultural Items= ==Time Division== Sylphic, although now having absorbed the standard Western calendar, used to, and still does to a large extent, use different forms of time division. [[http://conlang.wikia.com/wiki/File:Seasons,_Years,_Days.png | Diagram of Sylphic Calendar and Hour System]] ===Hours=== A Sylphic "hour" roughly equates to that of a modern Western hour. However, a Sylphic "hour" is a much more abstract concept, and does not necessarily last sixty minutes. Rather, there are twenty four different characters of each day, regularly represented in cultural mysticism by the twenty four Figures (essentially demigoddesses or female saints). Each "hour" has a quality associated with it, thus connecting time, routine and the supernatural more closely. The "hours" are standardised to the spring equinox, and are stretched or shortened according to the time of year. Sometimes whole "hours" will be skipped, at the discretion of the speaker. ===Meals=== Sylphic has an unusually developed set of terms for times of eating. It is not inferred that a Sylphic speaker will eat fifteen meals a day, only that they differentiate between, for example, an afternoon snack and an afternoon tea. ===Annual Divisons=== As well as the twelve seasons, the Sylphic year is divided into eight approximate sections, marked by a specific festival. As with the "hours", these divisions each have a Figure. Contemporary Sylphic reconciles these festivals with standard Western feast-days, such as Christmas and Easter (although the dates differ by a few days). The names of the Figures make popular girls' names. =Example text= This section is due to change soon.

The language was intended as part of the Liberalian Internationalist Union scheme for users who spoke languages other than English as their first language. While the LIU mandate failed, the language still lived on yet its progress greatly slowed and practically became devoted to just word creation. It is word creation that keeps the language alive today. ==Alphabet== {| cellspacing="3" cellspadding="3" ! colspan="25" bgcolor="efefef" | Upper case |- | A || Ai || Au || B || C || D || E || F || G || H || I || J || K || L || M || N || O || P || R || S || T || U || V || X || Y |- ! colspan="25" bgcolor="efefef" | Lower case |- | a || ai || au || b || c || d || e || f || g || h || i || j || k || l || m || n || o || p || r || s || t || u || v || x || y |- ! colspan="25" bgcolor="efefef" | Phonetic value |- | a || a͡j || a͡w || b || t͡ʃ || d || e || f || g || h || i || d͡ʒ || k || l || m || n || o || p || ɹ || s || t || u || v || ʃ || j |- |} Tepa texts 6463 46151 2009-06-18T17:32:40Z Elzinga 315 In this appendix I present short texts in Tepa. Each text is presented first in Tepa, then in an idiomatic English translation (the Tower of Babel story uses the KJV text as the idiomatic English translation), and finally in an interlinear, morpheme-by-morpheme gloss. ==The Tower of Babel== The following was taken from the journal of Alma Walker: Thursday November 16th, 1871. J[oseph] and I conversed at length concerning the bewildering number and general confusion of tongues, doubtless prompted by my inquiries concering the Miapimoquitch, with whom he spent so much of his youth. I felt compelled to read aloud the account from the book of Genesis concerning the confusion of tongues and the Lord's scattering of that proud but fallen people. J remarked that the Miapimoquitch would have enjoyed this story, and asked if I would like to hear it as they might have told it. I responded that I would very much, whereupon he related it to me in the Miapimoquitch dialect as follows.

'''The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9)''' 1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

He saw Field Mouse gathering grass seeds. "Hey, Field Mouse! What are you doing?" he asked. "Gathering grass seeds," said Field Mouse. "What for?" asked Coyote. "To eat," answered Field Mouse. "Do they taste good?" "Me and my family like them." "Maybe I'll eat some grass seeds. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate all of Field Mouse's seeds, leaving none for poor Field Mouse and his family. "Hmm. That sure wasn't very much food. I'm still really hungry." He was wandering around looking for food. He saw Lizard eating bugs. "Hey, Lizard! What are you doing?" asked Coyote. "Eating bugs," answered Lizard. "Do they taste good?" "Me and my family like them." "Maybe I'll eat some bugs. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate all of the bugs he could find, leaving none for poor Lizard and his family. "Hmm. That sure wasn't very much food. I'm still really hungry." He was wandering around looking for something to eat. He saw Beaver chewing on some bark. "Hey, Beaver! What are you doing?" asked Coyote. "Eating bark," answered Beaver. "Does it taste good?" "Me and my family like it." "Maybe I'll eat some bark. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate the bark off of all the trees, leaving none for poor Beaver and his family. "Hmm. That sure wasn't very much food. I'm still really hungry." He sat down and wondered what to do about food. He saw Sage Hen down by the spring pecking at the ground. "Hey, Sage Hen! What are you doing?" "Swallowing rocks. Now go away and leave me alone." "Do they taste good?" Sage Hen ignored him and didn't answer, but kept on pecking in the dirt by the spring. "Maybe I'll try some rocks. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate all of the pebbles, rocks, and boulders he could find. His stomach was huge! "Aah, that did the trick!" he said. Those rocks really filled me up!" And he lay down to take a nap because his stomach was so full. When he woke up awhile later he was really thirsty. "Those rocks really filled me up, but they sure did make me thirsty! I'd better get a drink." Coyote walked down to the spring. All of the rocks rattled and clacked together in his stomach making a lot of noise. He leaned over the water in the spring, but his stomach was so heavy with rocks that he fell in and drowned. That Coyote! Won't he ever learn?

The two Imstian main dialects are spoken in Germany, Austria and Italy by approximately 250.000 people. They do not have any official status in any state nor are they written officially. [[Image:Deutsche_Dialekte.jpg|240px|thumb|right|The Upper german dialects]] ==Name== The linguistic term '''Imstian''' (German '''Imstlerisch''') derives from the small city of Imst and the surrounding district with the same name, which is the region with the most Imstian speakers in the Imstian Sprachraum after Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The speakers themselves do not call their dialects so, in fact the term '''Schwäbisch''' is used in the north west, '''Alemannisch''' in the west and '''Bairisch''' in the east, so always according to the surrounding dialects (as many south Franconian speakers call themselves "Swabians" although they actually don't speak an Allemannic language). ==Current Situation== Due to the widely not existing notice of a common language, the number of Imstian speakers decreases more and more. Especially in Austria, in the district Innsbruck-Land, speakers intend more and more to speak a South Bavarian idiom. The city of Telfs, for example, which is located in traditional Imstian Sprachraum, is now Bavarian-speaking due to massive immigration of workers from eastern Tyrol comming there to work in the still growing tourism branch. <br> ==Characteristics== As a High German dialect group, Imstian was affected by the [[High German Consonant Shift]]: {| class="prettytable" | '''High German''' || haben || halb || Schlafen || Schwein || es || essen || machen || Apfel || Herz |- | '''Upper Imstian''' ||'' choo ''||'' choub ''|| ''schloifo'' ||'' Schwii ''||'' is ''|| ''esso ''|| ''mocho ''|| ''Opfo'' ||'' Cherz'' |- | '''English''' || Have || half || sleep || Swine || it || eat || make || apple || heart |} In distinction to Standart High German, it shares lots of features though with the surrounding dialects, especially that, as for nouns, the genitive and accusative cases are no longer productive as well as the disappearance of the synthetic preterite, which was replaced by the periphrasticly-built perfect: {| class="prettytable" ! !Disappearance of the preterite form !Building of the pluperfect form !Genitive construction !Accusative construction !Conjunctive construction in indirect speech |- | '''High German''' || Ich gab es der Frau. || Ich hatte es gekauft. || Das Haus des Freundes ist schön. || Ich sehe den Löwen an. || Sie sagen, du seiest blöd. |- | '''(southern) South Franconian''' || E håb s dr Fråå gewə. || E håbs khååft khet. || əm fraend sae hous əsch schee. || E gug də Leef åå. || Di såågəd, do däädsch bleed sae. |- | '''Upper Imstian''' ||''I choi's iro froowo gebo.'' || ''I choi's krrooft krroit.'' || ''Imo fruuti siis chuus isch schoo.'' || '' I luo dir lef.'' || ''Di sogit, do toitisch tuufor soo.'' |- | '''English''' || I gave it to the woman. || I had bought it. || The friend's house is nice. || I am watching the lion. || They say you were dumb. |} Nevertheless Imstian has many differences that distinguish it from the other Upper German Dialects: {| class="prettytable" ! !

In Koġołħuẓ every root can be between one and three consonants. Grammars are expressed by adding vowels between the consonants. The vowels are {{IPA|/ɑ/}}, {{IPA|/ɛ/}}, {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/o/}}, {{IPA|/u/}} and a null vowel (Ø). The null vowel stands for the absence of a vowel. Some consonants have a vocalic allophone, these pairs are {{IPA|/ʔ/}}-{{IPA|[ɑ]}}, {{IPA|/ŋ/}}-{{IPA|[ɛ]}}, {{IPA|/j/}}-{{IPA|[i]}} and {{IPA|/w/}}-{{IPA|[u]}}. These consonants turn into their vocalic counterpart to avoid illegal clusters, which often result from the insertion of the null vowel. In the following grammars explanation, infixes are represented as groups of three vowels. Each of these three vowels is inserted into its right place in the root. === Nouns === The first vowel of all nouns is null, because the first position is used for derivation. The second vowel stand for the type of case: a for cases related to the accusative, e for locative cases, i for different kinds of nominative cases and o for the rest of the cases (which have in common that the word they are applied to usually are neither the subject nor the direct object of the sentence). The third vowel does not have such a systematic meaning, but there are some patterns that can be seen; Ø is used for the most "basic" or "simplest" cases and e is used for cases that are often used together with inanimate nouns. Koġołħuẓ has the following 15 cases + a zero-syntactic role. *(*)Abstract accusative - ØaØ *Allative - Øei *Benefactive - Øoa *Comitative - Øou *(*)Concrete accusative - Øaa *(*)Declarative - ØiØ *Elative - Øea *(*)Nominative in process - Øie *Instrumental - Øoe *Locative - Øee *(*)Measure - Øau *Nominative - Øii *(*)Passive - Øai *(*)Possessed - Øae *(*)Unvoluntary nominative - Øia *Zero-syntactic - ØØØ The '''abstract accusative''' is used for the semantic roles of range and result. {| ! ?? || ?? || ?? |- | ?? || ?? || ?? |} ''They sang a song.'' The '''allative''' is used for the semantic role of goal, i.e. what something moves towards. {| ! ?? |- | ?? |} ''This raft will take us to the opposite shore.'' The '''benefactive''' is used for beneficiaries (for who something is done for) and recipient (who receives something).<br> ''The princess gave alms to the poor.''<br> ''Can you hang the laundry up for me?'' The '''comitative''' is used for the semantic role of accompaniment (who something is done with).<br> ''I went to fish with a friend.'' The '''concrete accusative''' is used with patients that are somehow affected by the action described in the sentence. These are often concrete, inanimate objects.<br> ''I will eat an apple.''<br> ''Close the door will you?''<br> ''I'll cut the meat and you'll make the salad.'' The '''declarative''' is used for describing that a patient is or becomes something.<br> ''She was surprised.''<br> ''The water is cold.''<br> ''The weather is turning bad.'' The '''elative''' is used for the semantic role of source, i.e. where something comes or originates from.<br> ''A bird fell from the sky.''<br> ''Out of the way!'' The '''Nominative in process''' is used about things that have undergone, are undergoing or will undergo a process. The difference between the common nominative and nominative in process is that the common nominative is actively making it so that something happens, while the nominative in process is in a situation where something happens whether he/she/it wants it or not. The process is something that the noun with this case can't stop, pause or reverse. <br> ''The water has frozen.''<br> ''The cat died.'' '''Instrumental''' stands for the semantic role of instrument.<br> ''Use a pair of tweezers to get the splinter out.'' The '''locative''' is used for expressing where something is.<br> ''The bread is on the table.'' '''Measure''' is used for the semantic roles of measure and time. It is used for expressing things like how much something costs, how long something will take, etc.<br> ''This ring sure cost a lot of money.''<br> ''During rush hour it will take two hours to get to the capital.''<br> ''It will take a lot of effort to move this rock.'' '''Nominative''' is used about the agent, the subject who is actively performing the verb in the sentence.<br> ''The police are investigating the murder.''<br> ''The kids are running.''<br> ''Mice have gotten into the granary'' (they deliberately gnawed their way in). The '''passive''' is used for expressing that someone is the "victim" of some event.<br> ''The boy got stung by a bee.''<br> ''Many civilians got killed during the war.''<br> ''I was robbed!'' '''Possessed''' is used about a patient that is possessed, acquired or exchanged.<br> ''I have a dog.''<br> ''I got oranges from the neighbour.''<br> ''I bought some rice.'' The '''unvoluntary nominative''' is used about an agent who does something by accident, or experiences something she has no control of. It doesn't necessarily mean that the event is something unpleasant, in Koġołħuẓ it is by default just neutral.<br> ''She saw a crocodile'' (allthough she wasn't on the look for one).<br> ''He heard some bad news'' (from someone who he hadn't inquired about anything).<br> ''Whoops! I dropped an egg.'' The '''zero-syntactic role''', which is not really a case, is used for nouns that are not used in full sentences, for examples in lists, titles, etiquettes and so on, or when meta-linguistically referring to a word.<br> ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire''<br> ''Olives'' (written on a jar)<br> ''Bread, oranges, milk, soap''<br> ''What does equilibrium mean?''<br> ''You have written the word "the" twice."

[[Velarization]] utilizes the same gesture, but with another primary articulation. Velar or further back closure is used to produce the airflow in [[click]]s, but their [[POA]] are generally defined by the front articulation (this also implies the impossibility of a velar click; not that it stopped [[IPA]] from creating a symbol for one). [[Back vowel]]s may also be characterized as velar, tho for those in the [ɔ] to [ɑ] region "uvular" or "pharyngeal" may be more accurate descriptions. ==Plosives== The [[voiceless velar stop]] /k/ is nigh-universal in languages of the world and commonly a high-frequency consonant. When [[aspiration]] or [[ejective]]ness are contrasted, the same applies to these counterparts. Languages lacking /k/ have generally previously shifted it to /ʔ/ (examples include Tahitian and perhaps [[wikipedia:Xavante language|Xavante]]) or have other voiceless dorsal stops, usually at least /kʷ/ (sometimes /kp/ ([http://web.phonetik.uni-frankfurt.de/L/L4133.html Klao]) or /q/ ([http://web.phonetik.uni-frankfurt.de/L/L6105.html Hupa])). A third , more academic possibility is a language not making any voicing distinction in stops and having [k] as an allophone of a consonant best described as /g/. By contrast, the [[voiced velar stop]] /g/ (or /ɡ/, if you are a stickler for proper typography) is considerably more unstable than its other "basic" counterparts /b/ and /d/; languages with a [[Phoneme hole|hole]] at /g/ are found randomly scattered around the world, with little areal relevance. Known pathways of elimination include → /ɣ/, also a likely intermediate on the road towards loss. [[Arabic]] has freak unmotivated unconditional palatalization to /ʤ/ (while in many dialects leaving /k/ be). ''(I think this is one of a number of hints for Classical Arabic /q/ having been [ɢ] --ed.)'' The [[Velar implosive|implosive]] /ɠ/ is subject to a similar limitation. A curious exception of stop distribution is (Xalxa) [[Mongolian]], which lacks /k/ but has /g/. ==Affricates== Voiceless velar affricates occur mostly as an areal feature in Southern Africa, commonly furthermore being ejective and in some cases (Zulu, Archi) lateral. Voiceless velar lateral affricates tend to vary with clusters of a velar stop and an alveolar lateral (Zulu, Archi (might just be notational difference there)). It is also fleetingly found in some [[High German]] dialects, demonstrating its role as the intermediate in the change /kʰ/ → /x/. Voiced velar affricates are completely unattested, both as phonemic and as a predictable allophone of any other consonant. ==Fricatives== Velar fricatives /x/ and /ɣ/ are not uncommon, tho not as common as their stop or labial/alveolar counterparts. <!-- UPSID /k/ 403, /s/ ~200, /f/ 150, /x/ 95 /g/ 253, /z/ ~100, /v/ 95, /ɣ/ 55--> Lateral velar fricatives are possible, but rare. ==Nasal== The [[velar nasal]] /ŋ/ is even more commonly lacking as a phoneme than /g/, tho for some reason its distribution is more tied to areal factors. Additionally, among languages that do have /ŋ/, there is also a strong tendency to disallow the word-initial position (examples include the [[Germanic languages]]; exceptions include Austronesian and most languages of Siberia) and sometimes any onset position ([[Mandarin]]). ==Other sonorants== The [[labial-velar approximant]] /w/ is more common than the plain velar version /ɰ/. This is not surprising, since both are high back [[semivowel]]s, and the high back rounded vowel /u/ is also more common than the high back unrounded vowel /ɯ/. A velar lateral approximant /ʟ/ is very rare (a velarized alveolar /ɫ/ is somewhat more common), to the point of being about as common as its obstruent counterparts. Velar trills or flaps are impossible (but see [[velopharyngeal trill]]) ==Sound changes involving velars== ===From=== Velar consonants may commonly be palatalized into palatal consonants near front vowels (which may then decay via [[assibilation]] or similar pathways). This change is also attested as spontaneous in languages that contrast velars with [[uvular consonant]]s, in indigenous languages of the Pacific coast of North America. This is also hypothesized of [[Proto-Indo-European]] in some reconstructions, considering that there are ''(AFAIK --ed.)'' no clear examples of palatal stops becoming velar stops. Another typical POA change is retraction to uvular near back vowels (a much rarer spin on this occurs in [[Lahu]], where velars become uvular before all vowels). Spontaneous backing is attested for the fricatives in many Afro-Asiatic languages. Labialization can occur near rounded vowels, and resulting labialized velars are capable of turning to labials (eg. [[Greek]]). The change of *w → /v/, ubiquitous in continental European languages, also falls under this. Other velar → non-velar sound changes are *w → /j/ (in [[Hebrew]]), *ɣ → /j/ (in many languages), *ŋ → /n/ (in [[Hawaiian]) ===To=== Sound changes that systematically create velars are rare. Regardless there are attested examples, including *labialized labials → labialized velars (in [[Oceanic]]) *linguolabials → labialized velars (in [[Athabascan]]; via a similar intermediate as the previous?) Sound changes creating some individual velar sound are somewhat more numerous: *in languages with small consonant inventories, /p/ → /k/ (was it Iroquioan?), /t/ → /k/ (in Oceanic, generally part of a [[chain shift|pull chain]] with /k/ → /ʔ/ previously) */tʰ/ → /tx/ (Athabascan) */ʃ/ → /x/ (in [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] ([[ruki]]), [[Spanish]], possibly [[Finnish|Finnic]], reportedly certain dialects of [[Japanese]]) */f/ → /x/ (a few [[Italic languages]]) */h/ → /x/ (probably somewhere) */h/ → /ŋ/ ([[Wikipedia:Rhinoglottophilia|rhinoglottophilia]] - [[Nyole]]) */ɫ/ → /w/ (common, eg. [[French]]), /ɰ/ or /ɣ/ *the same, starting from /r/ (English seems to be on this road) *creation of /w/ from (back) vowels by [[diphthongization]] *∅ → /w/ epenthetically near rounded vowels *∅ → /ŋ/ word-initially (a [[Samoyedic]] idiosyncrasy) *∅ → /k/ epenthetically between vowels (''example needed'') *[[Ugaritic]] appears to have very strange changes from original *θʼ / *ðˤ (emphatic interdental) and *tɬʼ / *ɬˤ (emphatic lateral) to *ɣ.

Åzuli 6474 52645 2010-03-13T21:27:20Z Tropylium 756 /* Test drive */ Åzuli /ɒzúli/ is spoken in southwest Levant and, due to recent immigration, also increasingly as a minority language in the Nile delta. It has diverged considerably from its sister [[South Caucasian' languages]], most noticably by having turned from isolating to agglutinativ and by having undergone complete click loss. ===Vowels=== Monofthongs: /i ɨ e ɛ a ɒ ɔ o u /, transcribed &lt;i y e a å o u&gt; here (<é è ò ó> if disambiguation is needed). */a/ is phonetically fully front [a], not central [ä]. */ɨ/ is phonetically between IPA [ɨ] and [ɪ]. Long vowels: /iː eː ɒː oː uː/ <ii ee åå oo uu><br/> Difthongs: /i̯a i̯ɒ i̯ɔ/ <ia iå io> * After a palatal consonant these become /e̯a e̯ɒ e̯ɔ/. * Distinct from /j/ + V in that /j/ becomes [ɥ] before rounded vowels, while the /i̯/ portion of the difthongs remains fully spred. There is partial vowel harmony: "ATR" /e a o/ and "RTR" /ɛ ɒ ɔ/ generally do not co-occur in a word. The vowels /i ɨ u/ are neutral and may co-occur with either group. As an exception, next to /ɬ/ or as a part of the difthong /i̯a/ (← *ɛː <!-- ...in some cases, others merge to åå together with *òò-->), /a/ may occur even in RTR-harmonic words. Some dialects merge /ɛ ɔ/ into /a ɒ/, where the first merger seemingly creates a fourth neutral vowel, but the distinction remains noticable as the new vowel alternates with both /e/ and /ɒ/. ===Consonants=== {| style="text-align:center" |- !

A word must have at least one unaccented syllable, and all accented syllables must be consecutiv. A final accented syllable (closed or open just as well) may carry an additional floating tone ("contagious accent"), that has no distinct surface realization itself but may spred to a following suffix. Monosyllables feature slightly more distinctions contrasting (at least?) high, mid, falling, and high-floating tone. Accent shifts may occur in inflection. ===Test drive=== *''khiaran dzooŋet phås'' *''tarphela pmiŋè Åzuli'' <!-- /tarphela/ = loanword--> *''phragu typmiåku hèt'' <!-- /typmiåku/ ← *tb'ia-ku ← *t'w- --> *''gioŋrå buju kaxwòtsbè'' <!-- /buju/ = loanword? /kaxwòtsbè/ ← *ka-xwo-tsbe ← *-|way --> *''sèrd wåŋkhu'' <!-- /wåNkhu/ ← *waNh-ku? --> *''jerugam heekŋy'' <!-- /jerugam/ = loanword, /heekŋy/ ← *seeg'y ← --> *''tšuugèxan'' *''ňèpiaš tshypmee'' <!-- /tshypmee/ ← *tsb'eeh ← *|'w33s --> *''x̣åňubåå džahyt'' <!-- /dZahyt/ ← *dZaht ← *g≠ast --> <!-- diachronic notes: dental clicks > sibilants, palatal clicks > palatals, lateral clicks > lhaterals (two series), alveolar clicks > velars; implosivs > nhasals; y epenthetic in clusters--> [[Category:Earth']] Lu 6475 46296 2009-06-23T00:32:32Z Humancadaver101 212 Lu is a member of the [[League of Lost Languages]], spoken by a group often misidentified as Gypsies, who have run around in circles for about the past thousand years, first leaving Central Asia, then getting kicked out of the Papal States, then Galicia, then Oujd in modern Morocco, then Sicily, and most recently Naples (during the late 1700s). Lu is an Indo-European language, with a linguistic history independent of any other. It bears a passing resemblance to both Tocharian and the various Indo-Iranian languages. It has seen extreme influence from Turkic languages and Moroccan Arabic, in addition to more recent French influence. Much of the religious idiolect is a mixture of Sanskrit and early Italian loans. As Lu wasn't written down until the 1960s, its orthography is wonderfully regular. [[Lu lexicon]] ==Nominal Morphology== The three original nominal classes have broken down considerably. At most, four cases are distinguished at a time: nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive, but few nouns make all four distinctions. The previous first and third declensions took their nominative and genitive forms from their previous nominative and genitive forms, but their accusative form the oblique, and their dative from the causitive. As a result, none of them distinguish nominative and accusative forms, outside of through syntax. These comprise the, new first declension. First Declension, ex: bu (entrance) NOM - bu ACC - bu (/bu/) DAT - bunz (/bunz/) = bu +n(e)z GEN - bupi (/bupi/) = bu + (e)pi/(e)p/(e)pu Meanwhile, the second declension takes its accusative from the original accusative, in addition to the nominative and genitive. Its dative, still, comes from the causitive. As a result, however, it distinguishes all four of the cases, fully. This is now the new second declension. Second Declension, ex: erc (man) NOM - érc (/erk/) ACC - ércem (/erk@m/) = érc + (e)m DAT - ércnez (/erkn@z/) = érc + n(e)z GEN - érpc (/erpk/) = érc + (e)pi/(e)p/(e)pu (which torsions when there's a final stop and it selects the second choice) A third declension consists primarily of loans early in the major migration, who added -(@)p and -(@)nz in an attempt to regularize in the genitive and dative (respectively). Third Declension, ex: salmãz (salvation) NOM - salmãz (/salma~z/) ACC - salmãz DAT - salmãznez (/salma~zn@z/) = salmãz + n(e)z GEN - salmãzep (/salma~z@p/)= salmãz + (e)p A fourth declension consists of more recent loans (usually from Arabic or modern French), which only regularize with the genitive (by the same means as above), distinguishing all other forms by context. Fourth Declension, ex: muslim (Muslim) NOM - muslim (/muslim/) ACC - muslim DAT - muslim GEN - muslimp (/mulimp/) = muslim + (e)p A very small number of irregular nouns decline with internal vowel changes as well. For example, du (god): NOM - du (/du/) ACC - dum (/dum/) DAT - dunz (/dunz/) GEN - dôp (/do:p/) ==Pronomial Morphology== Pronouns distinguish between six cases instead of four: emphatic, accusative, dative, genitive, reflexive, and instrumental. The emphatic derives from earlier accusative, the modern accusative derives from earlier oblique, and modern dative derives from earlier causitive. The emphatic is used to specify the subject when it would otherwise be unclear. Its use is entirely optional. 1S - mê 1P - nû 2S - tê 2P - û 3S - tu 3P - tut The accusative is used with all prepositions and to denote direct objects. 1S - m(e) 1P - nû 2S - t(e) 2P - û 3S - siû 3P - têsu The dative is used to denote indirect objects. 1S - ménz 1P - nûnz 2S - ténz 2P - ûnz 3S - siûnz 3P - têsunz The genitive adjectives: 1S - mep 1P - nûpi 2S - tep 2P - ûpi 3S - siûpi 3P - têsupi The reflexive: 1S - m(e) 1P - nû 2S - t(e) 2P - û 3S - siûi 3P - têsui The instrumental: 1S - met 1P - nû 2S - tet 2P - û 3S - siût 3P - têsut ==Verbal Morphology== Once more, there's three sets of verbs: regular, irregular, and auxiliary. The boundaries between the first two and the last one are relatively fluid still, since, for instance, bi (entrance/to enter) can easily be used as either. For example both of these sentences are valid: Ibu bie Frãs. i-bu bie Frãs. 1.S-come from France. I come from France. Ibu hãz crép bie Frãs. i-bu hã-z crép bie Frãs. 1.S-come eat-PART crêpe from France. I ate a French crêpe. In fact it can even be used on itself: Ibu bũz bie Frãs. i-bu bũ-z bie Frãs. 1.S-come come-PART from France. I came from France. So, all "active" verbs take a series of prefixes denoting the subject. These are as follows: 1S - i/u/0- 1P - e/o/0- 2S - ti/tu/t(e)- 2P - 0 3S - 0 3P - 0 A verb will only select the first of all options, the second of all options, or the third. Typically, verbs that select the first or second options have a central vowel of u, û, o, or ô. Otherwise, they take the third, which all borrowings do as well. When forming a participle, however, you add a suffix, -(ĩ)z. Final vowels will nasalize and frequently change wildly. On occasion, the -ĩz variant will be used although the root ends with a vowel. ==Syntax== The article proceeds all other parts of the noun phrase, within which all modifiers except numbers follow the noun. Adverbs follow verbs. There are a variety of word orders capable on the S,O, and V level, however. Sentences that don't use an auxiliary are reliably SVO however. T'hê crép. 2.S-eat crêpe. You're eating a crêpe // You eat crêpes. Auxiliaries complicate things somewhat, on the other hand. Unless you're using a pronoun, they fall into the SVO pattern still: Tibu hĩz crép. 2.S-come eat crêpe. You ate a crêpe. Objects begin acting differently when they're pronouns. Indirect objects go in between the auxiliary and the participle: Tibu ménz dãz crép. 2.S-come 1.S.DAT give-PART crêpe. You gave me a crêpe. Direct objects that are pronouns go right in front of the indirect objects, if they aren't being emphasized: Tibu siû ménz dãz. 2.S-come 3.S.ACC 1.SDAT give-PART You gave me it. Ibu siû hãz. 1.S-come 3.S.ACC eat-PART I ate it. When stressing the role or identity of the direct object, however, it can be fronted to before the auxiliary, at the front of the sentence, making the word order more or less O(S)V. Emphatic pronouns would go in front of the object, however, making it arguably SO(S)V. Siû ibu hãz. 3.S.ACC 1.S-come eat-PART I ate it. Mê siû ibu hãz. 1.S.EMPH 3.S.ACC 1.S-come eat-PART I ate it.

LoCoWriMo 6481 54684 2010-06-26T21:35:23Z Arthaey 16 added Tools section and a link to word count goal userscript '''LoCoWriMo''' or '''Local Conlang Writing Month''' is inspired by NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. It started with a post by Arthaey Angosii to the CONLANG mailing list (11 June 2009), proposing that several of us simultaneously write a sizable piece of original fiction in our conlang. NaNoWriMo sets a goal of writing a novel-length story, 50,000 words or more, in any language (but usually, I suppose, one's native language), between November 1 and November 30. Few if any of us have sufficient fluency in our conlangs, or conlangs thoroughly developed enough, to make that a realistic goal. Arthaey suggested 5,000 words as a goal for writing in a conlang; after further discussion we decided each person participating would set a challenging but attainable goal for themselves based on how complete their conlang is and actual experience with how long it takes to write a certain number of words (or characters, lines, pages -- however you want to measure your progress and define your goal). The [[LoCoWriMo/2009_October|first LoCoWriMo was held in October 2009]]. Currently, there's talk on the [http://listserver-emu.dreamhost.com/listinfo.cgi/locowrimo-conlang.org LoCoWriMo mailing list] about holding the second one in July 2010. As with NaNoWriMo, one should start a new story from scratch on the first day of the selected month. Writing a plot outline or character background notes, figuring out what words you're liable to need and creating vocabulary for the semantic domains involved in the story you'll be writing, figuring out pragmatics and stylistics issues you haven't addressed before (e.g., how do dialogue tags and reported speech work in your conlang?) -- you can and should do that kind of thing ahead of time; but the story you write for LoCoWriMo should be written entirely during July, not incorporating previously written scenes. To figure out what would be a challenging but attainable goal for you re: writing fiction in your conlang, it makes sense to do a timing exercise ahead of time; write a different story, or just some stand-alone scenes (for this purpose you don't necessarily have to have a plot sufficient for a complete story), time yourself, and measure your output for a writing session. Given your words (or characters, lines, etc.) per hour for this practice run, estimate how much you could write in July if you give the project most or all of your free time for the month. Alternatively, you could just start writing on July 1, time yourself and measure your progress for the first writing session, and then set your goal for the month from there. == Why '''LoCoWriMo'''? == National Novel Writing Month started out as a U.S. project and has spread internationally since then, but kept the name because the abbreviation sounds cooler. This project looks to be international from the start. Someone suggested Global Conlang Writing Month, but LoCoWriMo sounds cooler than GloCoWriMo. And, appropriately enough, ''loco'' means "crazy" in Spanish. (See the CONLANG thread linked below for details.) After some discussion, we decided that "Local" in this context refers to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Group Local Group] of galaxies, or to any other locality a given participant prefers. == Preparation == While excessive planning of your story is discouraged, excessive prep work of your language is encouraged. If you know you're going to write a fantasy story with dragons, elves, and sword-fights make sure you've got those words ready. Similarly, if you're writing about an office-worker, make sure you know how to talk about spreadsheets. The fewer words and constructs you have to come up, with the more time you'll have to actually write your story. Many Wrimos have only the vaguest of ideas of what they will write about on November first, and those who do plan ahead are encouraged to not do much more than a simple outline and listing of characters. The goal is to have fun being creative, not to write the next masterpiece. == Rules == In general we're following the same rules as NaNoWriMo. Whatever you write must be new (no continuing an existing story), and fictional. The goal you set for yourself should be difficult, but attainable. Lack of sleep, and excessive coffee drinking is common among "WriMos". Like NaNoWriMo, the emphasis here is on quantity, not quality. While you should, obviously, try and make your story grammatically correct, editing to improve plot, continuity, or anything else is discouraged. Just keep writing. With NaNoWriMo the goal is to complete a novel within one month. While we may not be able to accomplish the same thing with our conlangs, we can do our best, and along the way many of our languages will improve greatly, which ties in to the lack of editing. By the end of the effort many of us will find our words and grammar have changed in non-trivial ways. If we were constantly going back to update the start of the story to match the the language at the end, we'd never get much written. == Participation == * Join the [http://listserver-emu.dreamhost.com/listinfo.cgi/locowrimo-conlang.org mailing list]. * Add yourself to the list of [[LoCoWriMo/Participants|participants]]. == Followup == If you're overall satisfied with the story as a whole, but dissatisfied with particular defects, you may want to revise it to a greater or lesser extent (or entirely rewrite it), either for aspects where the grammar or lexicon has changed in the course of writing or to fix plot holes or tighten up the flow of the story or whatever, sometime after you've finished the first draft during July. You don't have to; participating in LoCoWriMo doesn't commit you to that. == Tools == * Userscript to add word count goals to Google Docs: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/60914 == External Links == *[http://www.nanowrimo.org NaNoWriMo home page] *[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0906b&L=conlang&T=0&F=&S=0&P=8681 Initial thread on CONLANG list about LoCoWriMo] *[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?S2=CONLANG&q=LoCoWriMo&s=&f=&a=1+June+2009&b= Search the listserv.brown.edu CONLANG archives for threads about LoCoWriMo] *[http://listserver-emu.dreamhost.com/listinfo.cgi/locowrimo-conlang.org LoCoWriMo mailing list] Ielang reference works online 6482 46101 2009-06-17T10:01:49Z Melroch 31 There is a tinyurl out there directing to the misspelled page #REDIRECT [[IElang reference works online]] Dalcurian alphabet and pronunciation 6483 52764 2010-03-20T12:02:49Z Rivendale 279 [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] =='''Modern alphabet and pronunciation (with English IPA equivalent)'''== {| border="1" |+ ! letter !! letter name !! pronunciation (with '''IPA''') |- !

Its place of articulation is alveolar which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge (or just behind the top teeth). It can be likened to the way in which a Scottish person with a strong accent would say ''great, straight, road'', etc. * '''ä''' is pronounced like the ey in ''they''. However, at the end of a word, or where it is separated by a high apostrophe, it is pronounced ''ey-ya'' (ipa: eɪ-j-æ). *'''q''' Unvoiced velar plosive. Is only found at the beginning of a word, including words that are separated by a high apostrophe, as in ''Dal’qörian'' or ''qatáj''-cat, and is always pronounced like an English '''k'''. *'''c''' Unvoiced velar plosive. Only appears in the middle or end of a word such as '''qurvecsár'''-''to annoy'' and '''dörac'''-''through'', and is sounded like an English ''k''. *'''x''' is used only to denote a negative word and attaches to the end of a verb. (see ''verbs'' and ''negatives'') *'''z''' is only used in loan words, and pronounced like the ''ts'' in ''sets'', much like the German ''''z'''. *'''sh''' This does not exist in Dalcurian, however, after the vowel '''ö''' you may hear the '''s''' as a 'voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant' {{IPA|[ʃ]}}, although it's exact sound can only be described as being a 'half voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant' and cannot be identified in IPA. *'''eÞ'''. As stated in the pronunciation chart, this is represented in IPA with θ and is an ''Unvoiced dental fricative'' like the ''th'' in ''thin'' and ''bath''. Although to English ears, there may appear to be only a small difference between the ''voiced'' th as in ''the'' and ''then'', Dalcurians do not know this sound, and a characteristic of the Dalcurian English accent is a heavily unvoiced ''th''. =='''Lenition/mutation''' (spoken only)== ==='''Þ'''=== When in word final position and the following word begins with the dentals '''d, t''' and itself, '''Þ''' undergoes complete mutation, eg: *'''DanöÞ vélø''' ''It's cold'', but **'''Danö[-] disiri vélø''', ''It's very cold'' *'''máriÞ eladöra''' ''with you all'' but **'''mári[-] tiÞöra''' ''with it'' *'''tiÞ nöacr...''' ''it can...'' but **'''ti[-] Þöldr...''' ''it should...'' Note on '''Þ''': There is an unhappy agreement when a word ends in '''Þ''' and the following word begins with '''Þ'''. In both cases, the first '''Þ''' is muted and the second lenites to '''/t/'''. When in word final position and the following word begins with the spirants: '''s''' and '''f'''; lenites to '''/t/''': *'''máriÞ mæöra''' but **'''mári[t] siöra''' *'''ti[t] flästa''' ''it's new'' ==='''r'''=== The rhoticity of the language can also force mutation of the '''r''' in many word combinations. When '''r''' is in medial or last syllable position, and the following word begins with '''r''' the first is normally muted, for example: * '''Érenöra Þöldr''' becomes ** '''Érenö-a Þöldr''' (some dialects do the opposite and mute the 1st '''r''') * '''máriÞ reÞæsámn''' becomes ** '''má-iÞ reÞæsámn''' =='''Uppercase'''== Uppercase letters are used to begin sentences, and with real nouns such as names, places, countries. There is no capital '''x''' or '''z''', since there are no words begining with these. '''Þ''' does not fall under any case classification, and this form is used in any position in a sentence. In actual fact, '''Þ''' is being considered [under the coming spelling reform] for deletion from the alphabet. It's replacement is very likely to be '''dh''' like that of the Halcarnian dialect. As well as being a 'rhotic' lanuage, Dalcurian is also PHONETIC; its spoken pretty much as it is written. Once you have learned to pronounce the letters, speaking and reading Dalcurian should be relatively easy. For example, ''Dal'qörian'' is pronounced ''dal-koo-ree-yan''. Here are a few more examples, in syllabic form, to give you a flavour of how words sound: {| border="1" |+ ! Dalcurian !! Meaning !! Phonetic pronunciation |- ! strömi | hot || stroo-mi |- ! binä | I/Iam || bin-ey-a |- ! stæcnáÞrädn | thankless || sty-kun-arth-rey-dun |- ! ädiáda | yesterday || ey-dee-ar-da |- ! yenø | immense || why-en-och |- ! ødérämös | steadiness || och-dee-rey-mous |- ! qsendaréø | scenario || ku-send-a-ree-och |- ! embáragadöraj | puppy || em-bar-a-gad-oo-raj |- ! siagentöj | aunty || see-a-gent-ooj |} ---- =='''Axilliary spelling'''== Written Dalcurian is highly 'diacritical'. However, and mainly for those outside of Dalcuria, it is not always possible to write in this way, depending on one's PC and operating system. For this reason, an auxilliary spelling system is in place, which uses no diacritics. This is as follows: '''á'''-ah iáda/iahda '''ä'''-ai binä/binai '''æ'''-ae stæ/stae '''é'''-ee ména/meena '''ö'''-u diö/diu '''ø'''-k vélø/veelok '''Þ'''-th taÞ/tath Example: Standard spelling: * '''Ela mantábel, am gravætas ön jerandel, andri vädencamöig, vädenár efragörädn ön equahörädn.<br>Minäla Þöldr semér reÞæsámn ön qvésänámn,, ön, máriÞ ela, am perös qve beröjelperös, agöentr.''' Auxilliary spelling: * '''Ela mantahbel, am gravaetas un jerandel, andri vaidencamuig, vaidenahr efraguraidn un equahuraidn.<br>Minaila thuldr semeer rethaesahmn un qveesainahmn,, un mahrith ela, am perus qve berujelperus aguentr.'''

Leirloek 6484 24401 2007-08-09T02:34:23Z Renamed user 1 67 '''Leirloek''' ([[Old Lilukanese]] for "stone city"; leir - stone; loeh - city; -ek ending designating a place), is an ancient city in western [[Mentak]]. It was the first city and permanent home to the Lilukanese, and later became the capital of [[Liluk|Lilukanese Empire]]. It was destroyed during the [[Second Lilukanese Civil War, and partially rebuilt as [[Poggliluk]] (New Liluk). After the decline of the Lilukanese and the rise of the [[Mentak]] as an alliance of different [[Mentśanese]] tribes, the city fell into total disrepair and now only the tribal descendants of those great people, along with bandits and reportedly [[Margrien]], inhabit the ruins. == The Founding == Leirloek was founded by the western Mentśanese tribe of Hunnagomdul circa 5,000 BFE, reportedly by the great chieftain [[Huaz Lugow]]. Mentśanese tribes had been in the area for about 2000-4000 years, having crossed over from [[Tok Pisin]]. Being nomadic and particularly bellicose, the mountainous areas were conquered and native settlers were wiped out. According to the [[Stnaad Pharlōtśur]], the epic detailing the founding of Leirloek, the Mentśanese led by Huaz Lugow crossed the treacherous [[Gurtul Mountains]] in search of a new homeland, after plague had destroyed their original lands. Upon arriving, they came across vicious and savage goblins, who used a perilous magic. Having conquered the goblins, the groups broke up. The Hunnagomdul stayed in the west, while the rest went south. They then learned of a terrible dragon in the mountains, whose magic was even stronger than the natives. The legend then has it that Huaz Lugow forged with powerful magic a mighty sword, the [[Damendù]], to defeat the dragon. With the dragon slain, however, all magic in the region was lost. == The Lugow Dynasty == Even without magic, Leirloek remained strong, and smaller villages around it appealed to it for protection. The city grew encompassing surrounding towns. The descendants of Huaz Lugow and his closest knights became the noble class of what is otherwise a rather egalitarian city. The nobles than picked the oldest surviving descendent, [[Peh Klongu]], as king of the entire kingdom in 4950. Peh Klongu ruled over a relatively peaceful kingdom at first. During his reign, he expanded the boundaries a bit to include more land from farmers around the area. He was slain in 4941 leading the troops into battle against the northern [[Qwanthokyanese]] tribes. Since Peh left no children of his own, Huaz's youngest son, [[Kalong Lugow]], assumed the throne, since all his brothers were too old to rule. He launched an assault against the Qwanthokyanese and pushed them back. He also expanded the city, adding [[The Sixth Wall of Mentak|the Sixth Wall]]. Kalong died only twenty years as king, and his son, [[Yori Lugow]], assumed the throne. Just two years after becoming king, the Qwanthokyanese and other tribes launched a massive attack against the fledgling kingdom. Yori died in battle, and his son, [[Yori Lugow the II]] took up the role as the general and went on fighting the Qwanthokyanese. He was said to have died gloriously in battle, sacrificing himself but deafeating the enemy. Yori II's son, [[Taranklong Lugow|Taranklong]], was too young to take up the throne, so his young mother, [[Apsha Sedu]], became queen of the Lilukanese. The queen then began a series of political reforms to make the royal family wealthier, the noble class stronger, and the capital Liluk larger. She expanded Lilukanese territory south into the territory of the [[Aranese humans]]. She then ordered the incursion into [[Mayao]] tribes, now extinct. Apsha's power made many noble's angry. Certain nobles conspired against her with her son, Taranklong, so that he can gain power. Taranklong one night came upon his mother's bedchambers and ordered them both to be alone. Suspecting nothing, Apsha agreed and sent her guards away. The guards were then murdered, and in privacy, Taranklong raped his mother. Humiliated, she was cast from the city, doomed to die outside the kingdom. The next day, she was reported to have been snatched by the conspirators, raped, and then killed. There were some rumors that Apsha had not been killed, by fled the kingdom and became a forest witch. At the young age of 15, Taranklong ruled effectively, having been made privy to his mother's ways of ruling, and to the army's tactics. He wisely let the general's continue to fight the Aranese and the Mayao tribes, and allowed the nobles to have more say by forming the [[House of Nobility]], a parliament where the nobles are allowed to advise the ruling king. At 19, he took over command of the army, and ordered the slaughter of scores of nobles that he suspected of plotting against him. The loyal nobles he appointed governors of the newly established provinces. Taranklong died after ruling for 31 years, of unknown causes, and his son, [[Gurtśa Lugow|Gurtśa]], became ruler. He continued to fight the Mayao, defeating them totally after four years. He also launched fresh invasions into Qwanthokyanese territory, especially since they were weakened by northern Balav skirmishes. He pushed them further north than before, establishing the largest boundary of his territory, and called his kingdom [[Hwazak]]. During his reign, Gurtśa discovered a group of Huoákanese wizards mingling with some locals in the town [[Pal Korfu]]. He had them executed, and declared that both the peaceful Huoákanese and any practitioner of magic are enemies. He was assassinated by a familiar wizard in his own castle. Gurtśa's son, [[Yori Lugow the III]], paranoid from his father's assassination by magic practitioners, launched a massive terror campaign to round up all witches and wizards in the kingdom. His reign of terror, known as [[Yori's Wrath] --- In the year 4722 BFE, [[Mean Lugow]] ascended to the throne after killing his brother, [[Yori Lugow III]]. Mean then began a series of small wars to conquer much of the land from the Qwanthokyanese and then from there descend upon the [[Huoákanese]] tribes. They descend much into their land, but stop at the [[Zefeli]] settlements on [[Tizovil Bay]]. Having been halted == Daily Life == == Destruction == == Modern Ruins == Orcs in Leirloek spoke ancient [[Lilukese]], basically [[South Gheuankese]]. They lived in a giant walled city. The houses were generally mudbricked, although they showed signs of digging underneath the houses for plenty of space, much like the tribal orcs do today.

It's a cool language, apparently fairly complete and learnable, but to my mind the goal of this project is to jump-start a language that doesn't have a speaker community yet, and give the learners encouragement by all learning the language together. Láadan already has a community around it, though smaller than Lojban's or Toki Pona's, and if anyone wants to start learning it at any time there are a number of people out there who can and will help. A lone person deciding to learn, say, Teonaht or Vabungula though, wouldn't have that advantage. --[[User:Jim Henry|Jim Henry]] 15:28, 13 July 2009 (UTC) == Conlangs I consider to be too incompletely documented or in flux to use for this project just now == These are conlangs of which I like what I've seen so far, but which seem to me to be too incompletely documented to be learnable at this time. --[[User:Jim Henry|Jim Henry]] 15:28, 13 July 2009 (UTC) * Laefèvæsili - online documentation is too terse and incomplete. * Itlani - no online documentation at present, just texts with no gloss. * Tokana - online documentation is reasonably complete, but very out of date; Matt Pearson says the language is in flux now and the documentation of the current version is inconsistent and incomplete. Maybe we'll learn Tokana in a year or two when he finishes the revison of the grammar etc. I removed Talarian from the list due to lack of modernity -- the secondary world it exists in is not only different physically but also historically.

[[User:Sel messitihildi|Sel messitihildi]] 13:31, 16 July 2009 (UTC) Dalcurian adjective negation 6491 47340 2009-07-17T22:14:57Z Rivendale 279 [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] [[dal'qörian adjectives|Return to Dalcurian Adjectives]] There are 2 ways in which to negate Dalcurian adjectives. The most common is way is with the prefix '''stæ'''. This prefix in itself, denotes opposition, and is found already on many adjectives, equating the English prefixes '''un, dis''' and '''in''': * '''vehiqualosträdn''' ''associated, '''stævehiqualosträdn''' ''disassociated'' * '''lenandrädn''' ''helpful'', '''stælenandrädn''' ''unhelpful'' * '''dasqurnä''' ''emotional'' '''dasqurnä''' ''unemotional'' * '''önestárädn''' ''correct'' '''stæönestárädn''' ''incorrect'' By default, these types of adjectives are already negated, and the prefix is an inherent part of the word (a static prefix). Invariably, an inherent '''stæ''' is only seen on '''ädn''' adjectives, that is adjectives formed from verbs, or adjectives that have a noun derivative (with some minor exceptions). When used on any other adjective, '''stæ''' attaches with a high apostrophe: * '''vélø''' ''cold'' '''stæ'vélø''' ''not cold'' * '''reÞö''' ''red'' '''stæ'reÞö''' ''not red'' * '''despániÞ''' ''miserable'' '''stæ'despániÞ''' ''not miserable''' The second method is the use of the verb inflection '''x/ax'''. This method is not used as much when negating a stand alone adjective, but is frequently used when negating adjectives in comparative sentences. (See [[dal'qörian comparative sentences|Comparative Sentences]]): * '''vélø''' ''cold''' '''véløax''' ''not cold'' * '''reÞö''' ''red'' '''reÞöax''' ''not red'' * '''despániÞ''' ''miserable'' '''despániÞax''' ''not miserable''' * '''DanöÞ véløax/stæ'vélø'''. ''It's not cold''. * '''Binä despániÞax/stæ'despániÞ.''' ''I'm not miserable''. Incidently, in sentences such as: * ''TiÞ ni stæ'vélø iáda'''. ''It's not a cold day''. the article must come before the adjective as normal. NOTE: Look at the use of '''danöÞ''' and '''tiÞ''' in these sentences: * '''DanöÞ véløax/stæ'vélø'''. ''It's not cold''. * '''TiÞ ni stæ'vélø iáda'''. ''It's not a cold day''. '''DanöÞ''' is used in the first sentence as ''it'' does not refer to an object (a dummy pronoun). '''TiÞ''' is used in the second example as ''it'' refers directly to ''day''.

It is the last surviving member of the Mariban subfamily, once spoken across an expanse stretching from Kurdistan to the Caucasus; Marib thus constitutes an isolate within the Indo-European family. <p>The name "Marib" is an exonym which is derived from Persian زبن مغربی, zabân-e maghrebi, "western language." ==Phonology== ===Phonemes & orthography=== Marib is written in a modified Perso-Arabic script, which was introduced when the Seljuks took control of the Mariban states in the mid-11th century. Here, the first orthographic representation is the native orthography; the second is used for phonetic transliteration. ====Consonants==== Stops /p t k b d g/ <گ د ب ک ت پ>, &lt;p t k b d g&gt;<br> Affricatives /ts tʃ dz dʒ/ <ج ظ چ ط>, <ts č dz j><br> Fricatives /f v s z ʃ ʒ h/ <ه ژ ش ز س و ف>, <f v s z š ž h><br> Approximants /j w l ʁ/ <ر ل و ی>, <y w l r><br> Nasals /m n/ <ن م>, <m n> */s/ has alternate realization <ص>; /h/ has alternate realization <ح>. Many words using these letters are Persian or Arabic loans; others are purely aesthetic.<br> *Marib uses the ligature <لا> for /la/; with a hamzeh above <لأ> this ligature represents /laj/. *<ع> is often used to indicate a syllable break between vowels and particularly diphthongs, eg. /saj"i:/ <سأعی> <saii> (page-gen.pl). *<ق غ خ> are found only in Persian and Arabic loans; they are pronounced /h g g/ and transliterated <kh gh q>. <p>Marib contrasts consonant length. Any consonant except /h j w ʁ/ may be geminated. Geminate consonants, which can occur medially or finally, are written with a tašdid <ّ > above. ====Vowels==== Marib has a simple five-vowel system, distinctive in that the mid-close vowels /e o/ have shifted to mid-open /ɛ ɔ/. <p>Vowels /a ɛ i ɔ u/<br> initial: <او او ای ا ا>, <a e i o u><br> medial: <و و ی ا ا> or null, <a e i o u><br> final: <و و ی ه ا>, <a e i o u> <p>Some eastern dialects lack /a/, featuring instead a Persian-influenced /æ ɒ/ opposition, written <آ ا> and transliterated <a â>. These dialects have generally retained the mid-close vowels /e o/. <p>Modern Marib does not contrast vowel length (at least not phonemically - see Prosody). Marib's Perso-Arabic orthography indicates medially only those vowels which were long in Medieval Marib (eg. MedM /ma"ɾi:b/ > ModM /ma"ʁib/ <مریب>) and in cases where vowel omission would result in a doubled consonant (eg. /tan"nɛn/ <تنّان> rather than *<تنّن>) <p>'''Diphthongs'''<br> Marib has four semivowel diphthongs:<br> /aj ɛj ɔj uj/ <ؤ ؤ ۀ أ>, <ay ey oy uy><br> These diphthongs are written with a hamzeh <ء> above, a convention possibly derived from Persian's use of <ۀ> for /eje/. ====Alphabet==== [[Image:Taleshenmaribi.png|frame|''Ta lešen maribi'' ("the Marib language") in Naskh, Kufic, and Thuluth scripts.]] '''Standard Marib alphabet''' {| cellspacing=15 | الف - ا <br>alef /a"lɛf/ |به - ب<br>be /bɛ:/ |په - پ<br>pe /pɛ:/ |ته - ت<br>te /tɛ:/ |جیم - ج<br>jim /dʒim/ |- |چه - چ<br>če /tʃɛ:/ |حه شأ جیم - ح<br>he-šay-jim<br>/ˌhɛ:ʃajˈdʒim/ |دال - د<br>dal /dal/ |ره - ر<br>re /ʁɛ:/ |زه - ز<br>ze /zɛ:/ |- |ژه - ژ<br>že /ʒɛ:/ |سین - س<br>sin /sin/ |شین - ش<br>šin /ʃin/ |صاد - ص<br>sad /sad/ |طا - ط<br>tsa /tsa:/ |- |ظ - ظا<br>dza /dza:/ |أعین - ع<br>aiin /aj"in/ |کاف - ک<br>kaf /kaf/ |گاف - گ<br>gaf /gaf/ |لام - ل<br>lam /lam/ |- |میم - م<br>mim /mim/ |نون - ن<br>nun /nun/ |واو - و<br>vav /vav/ |ها - ه<br>he /hɛ:/ |یه - ی<br>ye /jɛ:/ |} '''Formerly considered part of the Marib alphabet''' {| cellspacing=15 |خه - خ<br>khe /kɛ:/ |غأعین - غ<br>ghaiin /gaj"in/ |قوف - ق<br>qof /kof/ |- |} '''Not considered part of the Marib alphabet''' (though often used as such in vernacular speech) {| cellspacing=15 |الف س هامزو - أ<br>alef-s-hamzu<br>/alˌɛfshamˈzu:/<br>"alef with hamzeh" |ها س هامزو - ۀ<br> he-s-hamzu<br>/ˌhɛ:shamˈzu:/<br>"he with hamzeh" |واو س هامزو - ؤ <br>vav-s-hamzu<br>/ˌvavshamˈzu:/<br>"vav with hamzeh" |} ===Prosody=== '''Phoneme length'''<br> Marib distinguishes phonemic consonant length: long (geminate) consonants are written with a tašdid above. Vowel length is a prosodic feature: if a stressed syllable is open (CV), then the vowel is pronounced long (CV:). '''Timing'''<br> Marib prosody is stress-timed. Generally, stressed open syllables with a long vowel are articulated about 1.5 times longer than unstressed or closed syllables, though this varies greatly between dialects and speakers. '''Stress'''<br> Stress in Marib, as in French, is dependent upon syntax and semantics. Primary stress is placed upon the last syllable of a clause or phrase determined by the speaker. Primary stress may be marked by a slight lengthening of the syllable (more distinctive if the syllable is open, as stated above) and/or a slight rising or falling tone. Secondary stress may be placed upon the last syllable of a verb, noun, or modifier, according to the speaker's semantic discretion. Pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions are never stressed except for emphasis. ==Pronouns== ===Personal=== {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 align=center|Nominative |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |1 |من |men |اش |aš |- |2 |سن |sen |تی |ti |- |3-m |ایش |iš |نه |ne |- |3-f |نا |na |نه |ne |} Marib's nominative case is actually a nominative-accusative, so the above are used as both subject and object pronouns.

It indicates "the one we are talking about" or "the one which has been mentioned." *Idi t-ižen kaydaš - ایدی ت ایژن کأدش - The boy read a book. <p>Ažin (اژین) shares a similar but more specific meaning with ta, indicating "that same one." *Tuži men az kaydaša, taš hessi men ažin kaydaš s-keru. *توژل من از کأدشا٫ تش حسّل من اژین کأدش س کرو. *I thought about a book, and I saw that same book in town. <p>Baš (بش) indicates "the present or current one," usually referring to a period of time, geographical location, or a certain mode. *Baš ker - بش کر - this town, the town we live in *Baš lešen - بش لشن - this language, the one we are speaking right now *Baš ayla - بش ألا - today, this very day (colloquially امروز <emruz>) *Baš šah - بش شاه - this king, the king who is currently reigning ===Declension=== There are two numbers, singular and plural. The singular is unmarked, though many or most nominative singular nouns end in -[ay]en (أن٫ ن) [masculine] or -[iy]a (یا٫ ا) [feminine]. The plural is usually marked with the plural morpheme ی <-i>. The noun appears in the singular after numerals. <p>There are two genders, masculine and feminine. Noun gender assignment follows a simple pattern, with masculine nouns ending in a consonant and feminine nouns ending in /a/. Some nouns, ending in /u/, can be masculine or feminine. <p>There are three cases. The "nominative" is a nominative-accusative, used for both the subject and direct object - where specificity is desired, the Persian-borrowed object marker را <-ra> may be used following the noun. The genitive is used to show possession, relation, or origin, and is used with certain prepositions; it is marked with ا or أ. The dative is used for the indirect object and with certain other prepositions; it is marked with و. <p>Masculine nouns in the first two declensions (nominative only in the first declension) elide the final vowel, as long as this does not create an illegal consonant cluster or compromise the integrity of the stem. ====First declension==== '''Declension 1a''': Masculine nouns ending in ن -en {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |ایژن - ižen - boy |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |ایژن |ižen |ایژنی |ižni |- |gen |ایژا |iža |ایژی |iži |- |dat |ایژو |ižu |ایژیو |ižiu |} {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |مژدن - mežden - world |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |مژدن |mežden |مژدنی |meždeni |- |gen |مژدا |mežda |مژدی |meždi |- |dat |مژدو |meždu |مژدیو |meždiu |} '''Declension 1b''': Masculine nouns ending in أن -ayen {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |سأن - sayen - page |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |سأن |sayen |سأنی |sayni |- |gen |سأعا |saya |سأعی |saii |- |dat |سأو |sayu |سأو |sayu |} ====Second declension==== Masculine nouns ending in any other consonant {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |صأفت - sayfet - sand |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |صأفت |sayfet |صأفتی |sayfti |- |gen |صأفتا |sayfta |صأفتیا |sayftiya |- |dat |صأفتو |sayftu |صأفتأو |sayftayu |} {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |کر - ker - town |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |کر |ker |کری |keri |- |gen |کرا |kera |کریا |keriya |- |dat |کرو |keru |کرأو |kerayu |} ====Third declension==== '''Declension 3a''': Feminine nouns ending in ا -a {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |ویلا - wila - oil |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |ویلا |wila |ویلی |wili |- |gen |ویلأ |wilay |ویلیا |wiliya |- |dat |ویلو |wilu |ویلأو |wilayu |} '''Declension 3b''': Feminine nouns ending in یا -iya {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |سالیا - saliya - water |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |سالیا |saliya |سالیّ |salii |- |gen |سالأ |salay |سالیّ |salii |- |dat |سالو |salu |سالآو |salayu |} ====Fourth declension==== '''Declension 4a''': Masculine and feminine nouns ending in -u {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |شونو - šunu (f) - light |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |شونو |šunu |شونی |šuni |- |gen |شونا |šuna |شونیا |šuniya |- |dat |شونیو |šuniu |شونأو |šunayu |} '''Declension 4b''': Masculine and feminine nouns ending in -iu {| cellspacing=5 !colspan=5 |مزیو - maziu (m) - food |- | |colspan=2 align=center|sg |colspan=2 align=center|pl |- |nom |مزیو |maziu |مزیّ |mazii |- |gen |مزا |maza |مزیا |maziya |- |dat |مزو |mazu |مزأو |mazayu |} [[Category:Conlangs]] File:Taleshenmaribi.png 6493 46197 2009-06-21T04:32:26Z Colonel Cathcart 1304 ''Ta lešen maribi'' ("the Marib language") in Naskh, Kufic, and Thuluth scripts.

The genders are distinctions of animacy. Either the noun is animate (AN), or it is inanimate (IN). Animate nouns further subcategorize into human (HU) and nonhuman (NHU). Animate nouns are nouns that represents living things, humans, animals, gods and spirits. Of these humans, gods and spirits categorize as human, and animals as nonhuman. Inanimate nouns are ”non-living” things, trees, plants, tools, buildings, abstact nouns, etc. Note that animate nouns and inanimate nouns do not decline differently. You cannot tell if a noun is animate or inanimate just by looking at its form. It’s an inherent property of the noun. The declination categories are countable and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns are nouns that are easily subdivided into singular entities, which can be counted. Uncountable nouns are the rest. Uncountable nouns are often materials (stone), elements (fire), abstracts (love), sentiments (heat), etc. Note that the categories are not clear cut. Some nouns can be both countable (hairs) and uncountable (hair). The only forms of a liquni noun that is marked by inflection is the number. There are three numbers: Singular (SG), plural (PL) and partitive (PART). Partitive is not a true number, but it is treated morphologically as a number. Uncountable nouns lack the plural. Countable and uncountable nouns also have different forms in the partitive. The singular is unmarked. The example nouns we will use are: yakkhu [”j{U)_Lk_w_h:o_H] ’elephant’ (AN.NHU Countable) ataŋ [”?{_Hd@~_HN\] ’man’ (AN.HU Countable) raawa [”RA:_Lw@_L] ’flour’ (IN Uncountable) ňaš [J{I)_Ls\] (IN Uncountable) The plural is formed by adding –t to a noun ending in a vowel, and –at, to a noun ending in a consonant. yakkhu > yakkhut [”j{U)_Lk_w_h:o_Ht] ataŋ > ataŋat [”?{_Hd@_HN@_Lt] For countable nouns, the partitive is formed by adding –i to the noun. yakkhu > yakkhui [”j{U)_Lk_w_h:oI)_H] ataŋ > ataňi [”?{_Hd@I)_HJe_L] For uncountable nouns, the partitive is formed by adding –n to a noun ending in a vowel, and –a to a noun ending in a consonant. raawa > raawan [”RA:_Lw@~_Ln] ňaš > ňašha [”J{I)_Ls\@_H] The uses: The singular and plural are straight forward, meaning one and several. But what is the partitive, and how does it differ from the plural? The basic meaning of the partitive is ’some of the (noun)’ Thus, <raawan> means ’some flour’, and <yakkhui> means ’some elephants’, etc. The basic meaning is an undefined quantity of the noun in question, which can sometimes translate as a difference in definiteness. ex. Ataŋ yakkui luatthai. "The man was hunting (some) elephants.” but Ataŋ yakkhut-it luatthai. ”The man was hunting the elephants.” -it is here a enclitic which marks a definite noun as the patient of a verb. The plural is used for general statements about a whole population: Yakkhut bakaat. ”(The) elephants are big.” Ataŋ yakkhut luatthai. ”The man was hunting elephants (in general).” A noun following a determiner is always in the partitive, which means that the partitive can be definite. Asha ataňi ”Those men (over there)” Čhipi ataňi ”Three men” Ua ataňi ”One man (!)” Hamar ataňi ”All men (!)” Ataŋ ua yakkhui-it luattha. ”The man was hunting one (specific) elephant.”

Dalcurian is mainly analytic like English. There is no case system in the sense of nom/acc marking (except for pronouns-but even these go subject then object). Nouns do not inflect to show function, nor is there any verb concord. Q: How do we know if a sentence is in the present indicative if there is no present tense of the verb '''to be'''? A: Speech is ALWAYS in the present indicative UNLESS an inflected adjective or verb is used.

Unnamed parameters must be in the order shown; to skip one of them leave a blank between two pipes. All parameters except ''category''/the first unnamed parameter are optional! === Parameters === ; category: the category whose member pages should be listed ; heading: the (level two) heading to go above the table. Leave a blank value for a list with no heading. Include extra equals signs in the parameter text to get lower-level headings! ; namespace: the namespace listed pages should belong to. The default is Main. ; columns: the number of columns in the output table. The default is 2. ; exclude category [''digit'']: name categories which should be excluded from the list. Due to a limitation in DPL category exclusion doesn't allow the use of pipes <code> | </code> to list more than one category in one parameter value. Instead several calls to the same parameter are necessary. To allow for some flexibility I've made it possible to use up to ten category exclusions with this template, which should be more than enough. <code>excluded category &lt;digit&gt;</code> means that you may use named parameters <code>excluded category 1, excluded category 2, excluded category 3</code> and so on up to <code>excluded category 9</code>, or up to ten unnamed parameters with names of categories to exclude as values after the ''number-of-columns'' parameter. == What this template does == This template calls the Dynamic Page List extension to generate a list of the pages in a given category and its subcategories. To get your page on such a list include it into the relevant category ''or'' one of its subcategories. Practically it means putting the text <code><nowiki>[[Category:category-name]]</nowiki></code> (where <code><nowiki>category-name</nowiki></code> should be replaced by the name of any of the relevant category or one of its subcategories, which you will find listed if you type "Category:category-name" in the wiki search box and hit enter. Traditionally such ''category tags'' go in a group at the bottom or top of the page, so that they can easily be found and edited, but nothing will be broken if you (accidentally) put them somewhere else or add something before or after them. There is no need to include your page both in the top category and one or more of its subcategories, and it will be listed here only once even if you do (and there may be a good reason to do so: your page may be a legitimate member of e.g. all of [[:Category:Conlangs]], [[:Category:Conlangs by {{CURRENTUSER}}]] and [[:Category:Indo-European conlangs]]!) === Why a dynamically generated list is preferable === There are several reasons why a dynamically generated list is preferable to a manually generated list: * You need to edit only in one place, the page you want listed. (Unless you assign it a hitherto non-existing category in which case you will need to add that category as a subcategory of the top category referenced by the dynamic list or one of its existing subcategories, for which see below.) * You should anyway assign your page to the appropriate category or categories, so that people with a general rather than particular idea of what they are looking for can find it. The dynamic list creates an extra road to your page in one fell swoop! * If you should change the name of/move the listed page (or ask a <span class="plainlinks">[http://wiki.frath.net/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop sysop]</span> to do it for you), or add/remove/change your page's subcategory the dynamic list will be automatically updated. * The list will be automatically alphabetized. (Unfortunately not ignoring punctuation for the time being!) === Your own subcategory === You can easily create your own category (e.g. [[:Category:Conlangs by {{CURRENTUSER}}]]) just by putting a category tag <code><nowiki>[[Category:your-category]]</nowiki></code> on your page. If you think it should be included in a list created with this template just go to the page [[:Category:your-category]] (where of course "your-category" should be replaced by the actual name of your category; please don't actually edit [[:Category:your-category]]!) by clicking on the category link at the bottom of your page, or type "Category:your-category" in the wiki search box and hit enter, then add <code><nowiki>[[Category:top-category]]</nowiki></code>, where of course "top-category" should be replaced by the actual category name referenced by the dynamic list you want your subcategory to go into!) to the text of the category page of the subcategory to be. </noinclude> Template:DPL from category by category 6639 46805 2009-07-01T15:22:07Z Melroch 31 <includeonly> {{#if: {{{heading|{{{2|}}}}}} | =={{{heading|{{{2|List of pages in subcategories and crosscategories of [[:Category:{{{category|{{{1|}}}}}}]]}}}}}}== }} <span style="font-size:small;">This list is dynamically generated.

Even though I'm the DPL enthusiast I hadn't anticipated that; rather I expected that subcategories and pages belonging to them would get listed, and in fact I'll query the creator of DPL about it! However I think it constitutes a useful reason to include pages in both top categories and subcategories.

After the [[Terror of Thaifatir]] most of the Northern-Elves past into the West, following their beloved king [[Nagatailo]]. In the way to West many ill things happened, most evil of all being the [[Horse-Plague]]. After the "battle" with the wild and thick forest, the Northern-Elves built [[Airi Mathril|ships]] and sailed across the [[Sea of Normád]]. When they reached the other shore, they established a kingdom named [[Dór Dulrent]] - the Guarded Land, because there were great ravines all across it's borders that only friends might pass. The capitol city, [[Édirt Hilim]], the Sity of Pure-White Light, became the throne of all the Elven World, and the son of Nagatailo, [[Emár]] became the most beloved of all [[Kings of The Elves]]. ==Language== ''Main article [[Longrimol]]'' Longrim spoke the Longrimol. the word "Longrim" itself means "those who speak a lot" in their tongue, and "Longrimol" - "tongue of those who speak a lot". ==Famous Kings== ===King [[Nagatailo]]=== son of [[Taurai]], the one who led the Terun-naga into the West. Had four sons - Rawerdiro (The one who is (strong) like bear), Funaro (The one who is (fast) as deer), Gamondo (The one who is (stealthy)like wolf) und [[Emár]], and three daughters: Mathaniel(Maid of Stars) , Onorfáriel (Lady of Daysies) and Nalliel (Maid of Apple-Tree). After more than century of reign Nagatailo was killed in the wars against [[Eredhór]] by a [[Mêl of Eredhór|mâl]]. ===King [[Emár]]=== Son of [[Nagatailo]], the one who ruled over Longrim in the days of their bliss and ever after. He had no children. Before the death of his father, Nagatailo, he was the leader of the [[Elves of Night]], a group of nocturnal elves.

[[Category:Eramár]] Terun-Naga 6678 47390 2009-07-20T12:36:55Z Longrim 1289 Terun-Naga is a historically-rich elven group from the fictional world of [[Eramár]] ==Origins== Terun-Naga, the Northern Elves, became a fully separate group of elves from the [[Second Clan]] in the time when [[Onor]], the Elven-Sun, a bright star in heaven, first rose. As the Second Clan moved to the West, Terun-Naga, lead by King [[Taurai]] went to north, where dwelt in [[Silimath]] for a long while. After a number of "mood changes", the Terun-Naga finally set to West (as it was foreseen for all of Second Clan), lead by [[Nagatailo]], son of [[Taurai]], because the King remained in [[Silimath]]. When Terun-Naga reached and crossed the Western-mountains, they settled down in a coastal area between the mountains and highlands of [[Cuiloras]]. There they established [[Nagadail]], the most northern of all the [[Elven Realms (Eramár)| Elven Realms]]. ==Nagadail== Nagadail was set in the north-eastern part of land commonly known as [[Dardor]], or, by the [[Longrimol]] name, Darandhór. The Eastern borders ran together with the Mountains of West, the northern border streched along the coast of [[Sea of Frost]], south of Nagadail reached till the river of Yairdum. Western lands stretched till the highlands of [[Cuiloras]]. The capitol was located in the Yairsaida, The Silver Forest. Nagatailo feared, that [[Gurhathim]] might take over his mind and thus rule Nagadail, so he formed a Council of Wise man and women to "filter" his orders. Basically, ''Um Tertaun'' (The Council in [[Nagatol]]) helped Nagatailo to rule over his Kingdom. ==The Flee from Thaifatir== In the east-most borders of Nagadail, deep into the Mountains of West, there once was a dwarven city [[Karah-Idir]] that was destroyed by [[Thaifatir]] the Dragon. He slept within the halls of Karah-Idir until was awaken by the wandering Northern-Elves. Thaifatir, also called Yanda-ed-Tiud (the Sleeping Lizard) started to attack the Nagadail. Most of the Elves, following king Nagatailo, fled away into the West (for more information, see {[[The Longrim]]). The remainers started a fight against the Thaifatir, yet they failed, except for Feldanung, Feldar, Laitar and Turtur, who together slew the dragon, and was killed by him, too.

Stylistically, it's full of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages Indo-European traits] (although not strictly an IE language), with strong influences from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language English], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language German], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin Latin], plus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_language Finnish] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_language Cornish]. The earliest form of Dalcurian language was developed as a religious tongue by a rather eccentric [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagan pagan] king called '''Thadæus Thadurac''' (Dalcurian: '''''þadæös þadörac''''') around 200 BC. The religion was a breakaway form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagan Paganism] that was practiced throughout Europe around that time, and had thousands of followers, divided up into fellowships. Thadurac was the order's self appointed king, and highly revered among his followers. Although not fully substantiated, it's thought that he was a Carthaginan. Carthaginians were great seafarers and they capitalized on the trade of the Iberian silver and British tin. Thadurac had forged trade links as far as England, and was a highly respected Carthaginian councillor. Thadurac, an eccentric to say the least, had studied language in Greece as the young scholar of a prominent Greek philosopher called '''Adaikos''' in 210 BC. He had learned many things whilst under the wing of Adaikos, including skills in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics economics] and governing. These skills would eventualy stand him well when came to true power on the Dalcurian islands, bringing stability and order to his society, radicalizing even more his then worshipped religion with his own ideals and philosophies. Around Thaduracs time, the Carthaginians wealth, mastery of trade and expansion along the Mediterranean coast towards Italy brought Carthage into direct confrontation with the newly rising power of Rome. Sensing invasion at the hands of the Romans, he fled Carthage to southern Ireland where he and 10,000 of his followers from across Europe merged with the Irish Celtic branch of the Thaduracian fellowship. Years earlier, he had sent one of his Iberian Celtic Fellowships to the Dalcurian Islands, after they [the islands] were given to him as a kingly gift from the Irish Celtic branch of the order. This Celtic Fellowship had utilised its mastery of hemp, and forged a trade link back to the Mediterranean as a result of Thadurac's strong influence in the region. Thadurac now sought to colonize the islands, and did so with gusto, enticing many more followers to join him from various European regions. He named the islands '''Þadöracia'''-''Thaduracia'', and by 180 BC, the population numbered in excess if 100,000. The now termed 'Thaduracians' had for many years been encouraged to use Thadurac's religious language, and with a new influx of followers, his conlang diversified into many dialects. However, the language would undergo many inevitable changes as a direct result of migrants bringing into it their own influences, and it took around 150 years for a standard form to emerge. It's this standard form that we now term 'Thaduracian' for historical purposes, and would last for approx another 150 years or so before its transition into 'Proto-Dalcurian' or 'Neo-Thaduracian' as it's sometimes refered to. As the years of Thadurac’s reign went by, and indeed long after his reign, his religious language matured, and as it became more widely accepted, it became more advanced, forming small pockets of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloquial colloquial speech] in many villages and towns. It spread out into the remaining fellowships of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_europe Western Europe], becoming ever more present in every day speech. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European European] factions of the fellowship would ultimately form their own [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialect dialects], which eventually substrated into the island's own dialect during the Pagan exodus of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_century 3rd] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4th_century 4th] centuries. Though records and manuscripts are few, the early language itself appeared to have been very simple and mainly synthetic (since a word could be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection inflected] for ''person, tense, number'' and ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_verbs modality]''). It's lexicon was perhaps around 500 base words, most verbs were inflected for person, number and tense (perhaps influenced by Latin), and it can be said that 'derivational synthesis' was frequently employed to create new words, long after Thadurac had died. From the mid 3rd century, thousands of European pagans, not just Thaduracian pagans, migrated out of their homelands running from persecution, after the Roman Emperor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constans Constans] decreed that all pagan worship and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrifice sacrifice] (''even though Thaduracian Paganism did not practice sacrifice'') should cease; warning those who still persisted in the practice of paganism with the threat of the death penalty. Many more found their way to Thaduracia, after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodosius_I Theodosius I] officially declared [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity Christianity] as the official religion of the Roman Empire.<br/>By this time, the Thaduarcian tongue had long been accepted as the main language of the island (''although it wasn’t official''), and having knowledge of Thaduracian meant integration into society was relatively easy for this new influx of Europeans. This exodus inevitably produced a myriad of dialects across the island, and brought into the language many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loan_words loan words] from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages Germanic languages]. Regional village dialects formed, though not drastically, as the settlers from various European regions tended to stick together in the same village or town.<br/>Not only did the language take on new traits, but also Thaduracian society became more highly developed. Many large towns rose up across the island, and its first city was officially named as '''Calmania''' (dal: '''''Qal’mánia''''') in 467. The main port in the southwest region of Halcarnia ('''''Hal'qánia''''') became increasingly busier, largely due to the island’s geographical position. Ships coming from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa Africa] would often make port there where goods would be bought, sold and bartered for. (From this era, a 'pidgin' form of Dalcurian formed among the traders, which would eventually come do dominate the area and became a 'superstratum'). The then leader, king '''Heldoch d’Calba II''' (dal: '''''Heldø d’Qalba'''''), established its first form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government government] with the aid of Roman Auxiliary defectors, which created a more centralized control over the towns, villages, and of course the economy. In 512AD, '''Dalæth Curan''' (Dalcurian: '''''DalæÞ Qöran''''') became Thaduracia’s youngest king at only 22 years of age. Like his great predecessor Thadurac, he was a very astute scholar. He had studied language and history, was fluent in Latin and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_english Old English], and had studied the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_languages Celtic languages] (''by this time, a strong Irish Celtic society had formed in the northern region''). He was extremely ambitious, and one of the first things he sought to do was to re-open the Mediterranean trade link that had been lost 150 years previously. The Mediterranean was a trade link that Thaduracia had followed for over 800 years, and the bulk of its hemp trade came from there. Even when the Romans captured the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthaginian Carthaginian] trading colonies along its coast (''roughly 210 BC-Dalcuria had a huge export trade in tin with Carthage'') trade only dwindled slightly. However, with the onset of Christianity into the Roman Empire, trade was banned by the Romans at the beginning of the 4th century after '''Theodosius I''' established Nicene Christianity as the official and, except for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism Judaism], only legal religion in the Roman Empire. He declared that Thaduracian Paganism, which by now had been dwindling in Europe for some years, was merely a cult, denouncing the Christian religion. Even though Thaduracia was not part of the Roman Empire, he conceived the notion that it could once again infiltrate Roman society. (''The idea that the Thaduracians were merely a cult was of course ludicrous, since the population stood at around 400,000'') By the mid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_century 5th century], the Roman Empire had ceased to function and was dissolving rapidly, although Christianity survived. At the same time, the Thaduracian religion on the island was falling out of favour, since the previous king, '''d’Calba''' had declared that, ''"the free will of the Thaduracian people was not so free if they were bound to one religion"''. Though he never laid any laws or constitutions over this, the people heeded his philosophy-albeit slowly! With this in mind, Christianity was beginning to spread across the face of Thaduracian Paganism, and they were beginning to view their religion as 'outdated'. This was something that '''Curan''' made no attempt to change when he succeeded the throne; he desperately wanted to make friends in this new Europe, and saw '''d’Calba’s''' philosophy as a way to shaking hands with the new leaders of the deceased Roman Empire. In 523, he decreed that Thaduracian Paganism was indeed an 'outdated' religion for his countrymen, and no longer the force by which people should live their lives, citing that Thaduracia was now the only place left still practicing the religion, and that the only way to evolve as a race into a world that was changing rapidly, was, ''"to follow the path of Europe"''. Although he never officially banned it, the majority of Thaduracians followed his reasoning, with only a small faction carrying on with their paganistic beliefs. The following year, he went across to Europe and successfully re-opened trading with the Mediterranean, and forged new relations in England, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy Italy] and Germany. The hemp trade became a major force once again in Thaduracia’s economy, and would eventually stretch up as far as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia Scandinavia] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland Finland]. During Curan’s 50-year reign, he managed to turn Thaduracia into an even more prosperous and modern land. He divided the island up into 7 provinces, each with their own provincial councils; all answering to a central government. He created Thaduracia’s first university, and each province had its own school. He kept [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax taxes] low, so as to allow those who worked the farms and hemp fields a 'decent' income, falling inline with his philosophy that Thaduracia should be a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class classless soceity] (''though this didn't happen till many years later''). At the onset of 550, Curan sought to standardize the national language, and to introduce formal and political elements. His reasoning behind this was that some of the provincial dialects were becoming a little unintelligeable, and this was creating problems during multi-Government meetings and business affairs. Curan had very strong and healthy relationships with England and Germany, and infact, many of his councillors were German. He decided that political and legal proceedings would be conducted in the then Old German language, and it is during this era that saw the introducton of new gramatical traits (such as the '''ga''' tense prefix)and many new loan words from Old English and Old High German. Up until now, the Thaduracian script was still in use, but Curan was beginning to find Thaduracian Script problematic as the language became evermore influenced by other languages. He wanted to move towards latinization, not least because of his decision to conduct council in German. However, this was met with much distain among the provincial councils, and indeed the majority of the population, citing that the individuality of the island was slowly being stripped away. It would take a further 3 years of political bartering among the provinces before an agreement, and it was eventually decided that a script would be created based on the Latin alphabet. This legislation was passed in 559. Unfortunately, this move didn’t work out as Curan had anticipated. This new reform only managed to filter into political, religious and middle society (''middle society were those who ran business' and were employed by any agency under the control of the king, his respective councils and their divisions''). Because much of the rural society were illiterate, and only had a small understanding of the current Thaduracian writing system, they rebuffed the reform, even after it had been introduced into education, and it wasn’t until Curan threatened (reluctantly) to raise taxes on livestock, that they relented. Rather inevitably, this would lead to non-standardized forms of the new system arising in many rural villages. When Curan I died in 562, his oldest son Ciaren became his successor. It was only during the first years of his reign that the new writing system, officially named as '''Dal'qöristræÞ''' (literally: Curan's pen), would infiltrate its way into all classes of Thaduracian society. But Thaduracians far and wide eventually came to realise the legacy of Curan I, and the freedom and individuality that he had tried so hard to empower his people with.<br/>During Curan II reign, he continued to shape the modern society that his father had created, and at the end of his short reign in 588 (he sadly died of kidney failure aged 57), the island was renamed '''Dalcuria''' ('''''Dal’qöria''''') in recognition of Curan I & II legacy, although bizarrely, it would be some 100 years later before the language was officially termed '''Dal’qörian'''. The Dalcurian of today is quite dissimilar to its ancestor, and typically it has undergone various spelling and pronunciation progressions. The biggest changes are, with the exception of the Halcarnian dialect, the loss of the noun and modal cases, and the most recent spelling reform in 1879, in which capitalisation was implemented at the beginning of sentences.<br/>The ancient Thaduracian script system was also studied, revived and modernized by an agency set up by the Government in the mid 90's. The history of both the ancient script and the Dalcurian alphabet was introduced into education at the beginnig of 2000, and there are now many courses outside of school where people can learn how to write with them. In fact, there are even some societies who produce their letters in '''Dal'qöristræÞ''' (Dalcurian script) and the Dalcurian alphabet. ---- ===='''Standard Dalcurian'''==== Standard Dalcurian is much more related in style and grammar to Indo-European and Germanic than Halcarnian, and is dialect spoken by all Dalcurians in formal conditions. Normal word order is SVO, but this is governed by a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepositions prepositional] rule; a prepositioned phrase will always immediately follow the subject (or a modal verb) eg: '''binä görøria'''-''I'm going out'', but, '''binä, ''máriÞ érenöra'', görøria'''-''I'm going out '''with them'''''. (Dalcurian ears are very sensitive to this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax syntactic] rule; forgetting this will make you easily recognisable as a non-Dalcurian). In fact, modern word order is quite rigid in comparison to the language spoken around Thaduracs time, through the gradual loss of a ''true objective case'' ([[true objective explanation|click here for an explanation]])and its transition into an analytic langage. Modal verbs are present, but there are no [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxilliary_verbs auxiliaries] such as ''would, shall'' and ''will''-these are denoted from verbal suffixes (like Latin). Case wise there are 3: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_case subjective], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_case objective] (for pronouns only) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possessive_case possesive] (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genitive_case genitive]). Technically, there is no ''dative'' case-this is rendered by use of the preposition ''to'' with the subjective pronoun (''considered 'lazy' by Dalcurian grammarians''). One major factor about the language is the absence of the present tense [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_conjugation conjugations] of the verb [http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/to_be.htm to be], (including the copula 'to be'), and the simple, perfect and pluperfect tenses ''was/were, have/had been''. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_indicative#Indicative_mood present indicative] is ALWAYS indicated by the lack of any 'prefixual-inflection' to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verb verb], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverb adverb] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjective adjective]. Adverbs and adjectives have a unique tense that puts them into the past, denoting the use of ''was/were/have/had been''. ====[[Halcánian dialect|Eastern Dalcurian dialect]]==== ---- =='''Sample texts with audio</span>'''== '''1st article of the Declaration of Human Rights</span>'''.

There are six modal verbs in Dalcurian and unlike main verbs are quite irregular. '''Dalcurian modals in tense:''' Present/infinitive: * '''voltir''' ''want'' * '''mösár''' ''must/to have to'' * '''Þöldr''' ''should (ought to)'' * '''már''' ''may/to be allowed to'' * '''iqur''' ''like'' * '''nöacr''' ''can/able to'' '''Simple past:''' * '''gä'voltir''' ''wanted'' * '''gä'mösár''' ''had to'' * '''gä'Þöldr''' ''was/were supposed to'' * '''gä'már''' ''was/were allowed to'' * '''gä'iqur''' ''liked'' * '''gä'nöacr''' ''could/was/were able to'' '''Perfect present''' * '''gä'ábravoltir''' ''has/have wanted'' * '''gä'ábramösár''' ''have had to'' * '''gä'ábraÞöldr''' ''has/have been supposed to'' (rarely used) * '''gä'ábramár''' ''has/have been be allowed to'' * '''gä'ábra-iqur''' ''has/have liked'' * '''gä'ábranöacr''' ''could have, has/have been able to'' '''Future''' * '''voltiræ''' ''will want'' * '''mösáræ''' ''will have to'' * '''Þöldr'''- * '''máræ''' ''will be allowed to'' * '''iquræ''' ''will like'' * '''nöacræ''' ''will able to'' '''Conditional''' * '''voltirquas''' ''would want'' * '''mösárquas''' ''would have to'' * '''Þöldrquas''' ''would be supposed to'' * '''márquas''' ''would be allowed to'' * '''iqurquas''' ''would like'' * '''nöacrquas''' ''would be able to'' '''Perfect conditional''' (Note the omission of '''ábra''' in this perfective tense) * '''gä'voltirquas''' ''would have wanted'' * '''gä'mösárquas''' ''would have had to'' * '''gä'Þöldrquas''' ''would have been supposed to'' * '''gä'márquas''' ''would have been allowed to'' * '''gä'iqurquas''' ''would have liked'' * '''gä'nöacrquas''' ''would have been able to'' '''NOTE 1''': Although the auxilliary '''ábra'''-''have/has'' can take a conditional inflection, we do not use it with conditional modals. Look at the following 2 examples for the phrase, ''I would have wanted...'': the first is grammatically wrong, the second correct: * '''Binä gä'ábraquas gä'voltir...''' * '''Binä gä'voltirquas...''' '''NOTE 2''': Modals only take past tense inflection if the main verb is in infinitive form, or in the case of '''like''' acts as the main verb: * '''Binä gä'voltir gör'''. ''I wanted '''to go'''''. * '''Öcra tirimiÞ, binä gä'ábraiqur siöra'''. ''I '''have liked''' her for a while''. Main verbs themselves carry past tense inflections, and the modal must remain in the infinitive: * '''Mæ mösár, rödn tiÞ, gä'ábrategöfár.''' ''He must have forgotton about it''. * '''Sia Þöldr gä'ábracenár'''. ''She should have known''. The following are grammatically wrong: * '''Mæ ''gä'mösár'', rödn tiÞ, ''gä'tegöfár''.''' ''He must have forgotton about it''. * '''Sia ''gä'Þöldr gä'qenár'''''. ''She should have known''. A tip here is to consider if the main verb is a past participle, as in the above ''forgotton'' and ''known''; two past participles cannot sit together. ==='''Nöacr'''=== This is the only Dalcurian verb that has a subjunctive form, which is '''näocr'''. Depending on context, this can mean ''could, could be, might, might be''. However, one must be able to distinguish the difference between the simple past tense ''could'' and the subjunctive ''could''. Simple past This simply implies that you are no longer able to do something: * '''Binä gä’nöacr, vönéri minäla gä'nábr binöra, evédr.''' ''I could (was able to) drive before I was banned.'' The subjunctive is entirely different. See the Subjunctive section below. ==='''Mösár'''=== This verb, although having a translation of ''must'' is not as forceful as its English counterpart when in negation. In fact, it's more akin to the German verb ''müssen'': * '''Ména mösár gör'''. ''We have to go''. * '''Ména mösárax gör'''. ''We don't have to go''. (It's not vital or necessary that we go). To translate '''mösár''' into a true negative, we use the intensifier '''esti''': * '''Ména mösár esti gör'''! ''We MUST go!'' In sentences and clauses where a modal verb is present, word order puts a prepositional phrase AFTER the modal verb and NOT immediately after the pronoun/noun as normal: * '''Binä, máriÞ érenöra, gör'''. ''I go with them''. * '''Binä mösár, máriÞ érenöra, gör'''. ''I have to go with them''. DON'T FORGET: For negation, add '''x/ax'''. Dalcurian verb moods 6691 49199 2009-09-16T21:51:55Z Rivendale 279 /* Subjunctive */ [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] [[dal'qörian verbs|Return to Dalcurian Verbs]] The mood of a verb is the manner in which the action or condition is conceived or intended. Dalcurian verbs have 4 moods: 1. '''Indicative''', a verb stating an apparent fact or asking a question, to describe an habitual action, or generally an action that is happening now, in the past or the future (covered in the above section). 2. '''Imperative''', a verb stating a command or request. 3. '''Subjunctive''', a verb expressing a doubt, desire, supposition, or condition contrary to fact. 4. '''Conditional''', a verb refering to a hypothetical state of affairs, or an uncertain event that is contingent on another set of circumstances. =='''Imperative'''== The imperative mood adds '''os''' to the infinitive. In dirct orders or forceful requests, this is often followed by the accusative pronoun. However, for politness, such as giving directions or instructing strangers, then either the nominative can be used or no pronoun at all: * '''Quavéna, nistaros diöra taÞ!''' ''Can you stop doing that at once!'' * '''Abetáros eladiö!''' ''You may begin!'' * '''Quavéna, lecantros diöra taÞ zigaretij!''' ''Put that cigarette out!'' * '''Qintä tistros diö.''' ''Please sit.'' * '''Nebtöros jentø,, nes göros écanelbrädn’lencöÞ.''' ''Turn right then go straight ahead.'' * '''ERACINÖRÄMÖS: TSÖCRAXOS ELA!''' ''DANGER: DO NOT TOUCH!'' =='''Subjunctive'''== For the most part, the subjunctive mood is expressed with the conditional form of the verb '''nöacr'''-''can'', which is '''näocr'''-''could'' (take care not to use the actual simple past of ''can'' which is '''gä'nöacr''', as you may not be understood). This can also mean ''could be'' when preceeding an adjective: * '''Méla binä näocr diöra,, nes binä maqurquasax taÞ.''' ''If I were you, I wouldn't do that.'' * '''Binä sæcr,, taÞ binä näocr fæeltös.''' ''I wish I were (could be) rich.'' The Dalcurian subjunctive can also translate as ''maybe'' or ''might/be'': * '''Di blösonj qve diöra, am sancoj, näocr¿''' ''Your coat might be in the cupboard.'' * ''' Mæ, am alcabödänø, nø näocr¿''' ''Maybe he's still in the pub?'' Other subjuncive forms that can be rendered with '''näocr''' are: * ''I suggested that Paul eat an apple.'' * ''I am rather anxious that she discuss this with me soon''. There are actually 2 ways in which these can be equated. Using '''näocr''': * '''Binä, te Paul, gä'gesægr,, taÞ mæ näocr qonsömér ni apelj¿''' ''I suggested that Paul eat an apple.'' Lit: ''I, to Paul, suggested that he maybe eat an apple''. * '''Binä disiri angræÞ,, taÞ nösa, sia näocr, máriÞ binöra, rödnspecér séÞa'''. ''I am rather anxious that she discuss this with me soon''¿ lit: I'm very anxious, that soon she maybe, with me, discusses this.'' Note: In written grammar, the subjunctive will often be completed with an upside down question mark. =='''Conditional'''== This form adds '''quas''' to the verb: * '''quascr''' ''ask'' '''quascrquas''' ''would ask'' * '''gä'ábraspélögr''' ''have played'' '''gä'ábraspélögrquas''' ''would have played'' * '''Méla di danpörämös stæabetár,, nes ''binä görørquas'''''. ''If it stopped raining then I '''would go out'''''. * '''Méla épø, máriÞ binöra, agöentr,, nes binä ''stödæérquas öraÞ'''''. ''If I had time, I '''would study art'''''. ---- In adition to these, colloquial Dalcurian often expresses verbs with the following moods: * '''Causative'''-Indicates the cause of an action. * '''Deductive'''-Indicate the speaker's assumption from a set of facts. * '''Deliberative'''-Indicates the speaker's request for a command. * '''Dubitative'''-Indicates an air of doubt in the speaker's statement. However, these moods are highly colloquial and not likely to be used with a foreigner, and likewise a foreigner is only likely to use them if they have a very good command of Dalcurian. Dalcurian verb to do 6692 47173 2009-07-08T21:11:34Z Rivendale 279 [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] [[dal'qörian verbs|Return to Dalcurian Verbs]] The verb '''maqur'''-''to do'' has very little usage in Dalcurian. It is mainly used in interrogative questions: * '''Vitrö? maquria mæ.''' ''What's he doing?'' lit: ''What are doing you?'' ** '''Binä maquriax éanöÞa'''. ''I'm not doing anything''. lit: ''I'm doing not anything''. It is not classed as an auxilliary verb, and never used to be emphatic: * ''Don't you like music? Yes, I DO like music!'' In Dalcurian, asking questions equivalent to the above example, one simply uses the main verb (very much as in German). If the response is to be emphatic, then use the intensifier '''esti''': * '''Diö iqurax löræasáÞ, nál? Néfaracte, binä iqur löræasáÞ esti'''! Dalcurian intensifiers 6693 47188 2009-07-09T21:20:58Z Rivendale 279 __TOC__ [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] To make a sentence or statement more powerful or emphatic, Dalcurian uses what it terms '''tebadærátsiel'''-''intensifiers'' where in English, we would make use adverbs: * I '''really''' hate the way you speak to me sometimes! * I thought that film was '''absolutely''' hilarious. * She’s '''so''' happy. * You must '''never ever''' say things like that! * Just '''what the hell''' were you thinking? Although Dalcurian does have many of the typical adverbs that exist in English, they're seldom used in every day speech. There use is reserved mainly for standard and formal speech and letters. =='''Esti'''== This intensifier is very common, and can have either a negative or positive connotation depending on context and voice intonation. It cannot be 'literally' translated, but can equate to adverbs such as, ''really, absolutely, very, so'' etc. Here are some examples: * '''Quriandø, binä qurvecsár diöra'''! ''I hate you sometimes''! ** '''Quriandø, binä qurvecsár diöra esti'''! ''I really hate you sometimes''! * '''Sia qurnöra'''. ''She's happy''. ** '''Sia esti quranöra'''. ''She's so/very happy''. * '''Binä gä'descöbr,, taÞ di mosödrämös gé'tatécran'''. ''I thought that the film was fantastic''. ** '''Binä gä'descöbr,, taÞ di mosödrämös gé'tatécran esti'''. ''I thought that the film was '''absolutely''' fantastic''. '''Esti''' can also give more force to a modal verb: * '''Binä iqur spélögria fözbal.''' ''I like playing football''. ** '''Binä iqur esti spélögria fözbal.''' ''I '''really like''' playing football''. * '''Ména mösár gör.''' ''We have to go.'' (but it's not a matter of urgency) ** '''Ména mösár gör esti'''! ''We MUST go!'' * '''Sia voltir taÞ'''. ''She wants that one''. ** '''Sia voltir esti taÞ'''! ''She really wants that one!'' * '''Nösa, éren Þöldr eviár.''' ''They should be arriving soon''. ** '''Äda dion stöndæel, éren esti Þöldr gä'ábra-eviár!''' ''They SHOULD have arrived 2 hours ago!'' * '''Ména márax stæagöentr dérÞ'''. ''We're not allowed to sit here''. ** '''Eladiö esti márax stæagöentr dérÞ'''! ''You're NOT allowed to sit here!'' And in a few stock phrases: * '''esti nál'''! ''certainly not!'' * '''esti yil!''' ''YES!'' * '''esti qnáÞradiö'''! ''thankyou very much''! The position of '''esti''' is down to the speaker. It's often placed at the end of the statement, but equally at home preceeding or following the word it emphasises. =='''Quavéna'''== Used to denote distain, anger, disagreement or frustration, or to add a harsher tone to the sentence. Usually goes at the beginning to immediately alert the listener to your mood, or at the beginning of a ''because/resultant clause'' to intensify the reason of your action or feeling: * '''Mösár? diö maqur taÞ nöra.''' ''Do you have to do that now?'' ** '''Quavéna, mösár? diö maqur taÞ nora!''' ''For heaven's sake, must you do that now?'' * '''Quintä, tirigör litrangæÞ'''. ''Please keep quiet''. ** '''Quavéna, tirigör diöra litrangæÞ!''' ''WILL YOU BE QUIET!'' It can also translate the English use of the expletive ''bloody/bloody hell''. Here it would normally precede the verb, adjective or noun: * '''Gegéna, danöÞ quavéna danpöria'''! ''It's bloody raining again!'' * '''Mæ ni quavéna agrödámn!''' ''He's a bloody idiot!'' * '''Várö? sia södisir quavéna dostibrostn!''' ''Why is she so bloody stupid?'' * '''Binä gä'ábrapädr di slasojel'''. '''Quavéna'''! ''I've lost the keys''.

Dalcurian adjective hierarchy 6698 47283 2009-07-15T21:38:28Z Rivendale 279 [[Dalcurian Language Homepage|Homepage]] [[dal'qörian adjectives|Return to Dalcurian Adjectives]] In English, when we use more than one adjective in succession, there tends to be a particular order that each adjective follows according to its descriptive nature, (although this is not a static rule of grammar). Look at these sentences: * ''The beautiful, tall Italian lady.'' * ''Her short, black, shiny hair.'' * ''Those square wooden hat boxes.'' * ''Some delicious, Thai food.'' * ''That dilapitated, little hunting cabin.'' * ''A wonderful, old British touring car.'' * ''An expensive, antique, silver mirror.'' Each of the adjectives have a certain descriptive feature and normally follow one another in a set pattern: {| border="1" |+ ! determiner!! observation !! physical description :<small> size age shape colour</small> !! origin !! material !! qualifier !! noun |- | the || beautiful || tall || Italian|| - || - || lady |- | her || - || short black|| - || - || shiny || hair |- | those || - || square || - || wooden || - || hat boxes |- | some || delicious || - || Thai || - || - || food |- | that || delapitated || little || - || - || - || hunting cabin |- | a || wonderful || old || british || - || - || touring car |- | an || expensive || antique || - || silver || - || mirror |} On occasions, the observation and physical description adjectives can be interchangeable: * ''The tall, beautiful Italian lady.'' * ''That little, dilapidated hunting cabin.'' But for the most part, it doesn’t sound quite right: * ''An old, wonderful British touring car.'' * ''An antique, expensive silver mirror.'' And it sounds very odd if we place the origin adjective first: * ''The Italian, tall beautiful lady.'' * ''A British, wonderful old touring car.'' * ''Some Thai delicious food.'' With the exception of origin adjectives, Dalcurian has no peticular hierarchy. Placement can be purely down to which is important or which is to be stressed (if any). However, the origin adjective ALWAYS goes last, and is introduced as a relative '''taÞ''' clause: * '''Di æanasiaÞáli; viténa; siasáj, taÞ Itälátsi.''' lit: ''The beautiful, tall lady, who is Italian''. * '''EÞöa qélafri; ésenej, taÞ Tælátsi.''' lit: ''Some delicious food, which is Thai.'' A semi-colon is used to set off multiple adjectives.

[[Category:Eramár]] Nagatailo 6701 47395 2009-07-20T12:43:55Z Longrim 1289 /* Looks */ Nagatailo was a son of [[Taurai]], the king who led the [[Terun-Naga]] into the West. ==Race and Cultures== Nagatailo was an elf of the [[Second Clan]]. He belonged to the cultures of Terun-Naga and earliest forms of [[The Longrim]] culture. He was the king of Terun-Naga an Longrim in the realms of [[Nagadail]] and [[Dór Dulrent]]. ==Children== He had four sons - Rawerdiro (The one who is (strong) like bear), Funaro (The one who is (fast) as deer), Gamondo (The one who is (stealthy)like wolf) and [[Emár]], and three daughters: Mathaniel(Maid of Stars) , Onorfáriel (Lady of Daysies) and Nalliel (Maid of Apple-Tree). ==Looks== Nagatailo, as all of the elves, was outstandingly beautiful. He had sky-blue eyes (typical for the Second Clan) and light brown, little-bit golden hair. He was tall, not as tall as his sons, yet taller than most of the [[Terun-Naga]]. He usually dressed in silver-colored capes, and the royal robe he wore was in the color of Lapis-Lazuli, a stone most sacred to the Terun-Naga. ==Later Fate== After more than century of reign in Dór Dulrent and lifetime spanning for few thousands of years Nagatailo was killed in the wars against Eredhór by a [[Mêl of Eredhór|mâl]].

Velyan is also pervasively ergative: agent arguments of the verb are marked with the ergative case, whilst the verb agrees with the agent of the verb (if present); the syntactic pivot is ergative, and conjoined verb phrases must use the antipassive voice if the agent of one is the patient of another.

[[category:Conworlds]] Emár 6709 58011 2010-11-24T12:09:26Z Longrim 1289 Emár was the king of [[The Longrim]]. He was a son of king [[Nagatailo]], yet more beloved by his people than his father. ==Race and Cultures== Emár was an elf of the [[Second Clan]]. He belonged to the cultures of [[The Longrim]] and the [[Elves of Night]]. For a while he was the lord of Elves of Night, but after the death of his father, he was crowned as the king of Longrim. ==Children== Emár had no children we know about. It is possible he had a child from his love [[Láeledh]], as he states in his [[Laws of Emár]]: ''...love thy children as the most precious in your live, for they are so, love them as much as I love mine.'' This was what it said in the manuscript, giving an impression that he does have a child. But the version that was available for his people said: ''...for they are so, love them as much as I would love mine...''; Giving the impression that he didn't have any children. ==Looks== Emár, as most of the elves, was far more beautiful than the [[Men(Eramár)|Men]]. His ears (leaf-like as for all the elves) was longer than typical; longer ears was one of the features of female [[Elf(Eramár)|elves]], but males with them were considered "extra-beautiful". His eyes were sky-blue, like the ones of his father, his hair - dark silver, like the one of his mother. He as sometimes called the ''Perfect Child'' since he had no defects in his body or soul. Though elves were always beautiful, Emár was considered unusually handsome even among them. ==Childhood== Emár's childhood was relatively happy. He was born as one of the [[Elves of Night]], so he went outside of his parents castle only during twilight, night and morning dusk. Mentally he grew very fast, he spent the days of his life inside his room or library of the castle studying and writing. As a young adult he explored the mines of mountain and gave words to the minerals and crystals found there, he named ruby, quartz, nephrite and many other. He also explored the forests and meadows of [[Dór Dulrent|Dôr Dhulrent]]. He became a part of a group of Night Elves around the age of 50, when he was physically mature. Soon he became the lord of the Night Elves, gathering the nocturnal elves from the cities of Dór Dulrent in the forest of [[Dabardhen]], where they established a village of [[I Dhandwin]], lit. meaning "the place for night". At the age of 70 he left his home in [[Édirt Silim]] and joined his Night Elves in I-Dhandwin. Few years before the death of his father [[Nagatailo]] Emár started studying the secret arts of [[Magick (Eramár)|magick]] together with his fellow Night Elves. ==Reign== After the death of Nagatailo Emár became the king of [[Dór Dulrent|Dôr Dhulrent]]. When he received the message of his father death and his own new title, Emár leaft I-Dhandwin and rushed to Édirt Silim. Together with his brothers and sisters he lamented for several weeks. Then Emár accepted the throne. Though Édirt Silim remained the capital of Dôr Dhulrent, Emár made I-Dhandwin to be the cultural and magickal center of his Kingdom. Emár was very loved among his people; he was not proud and greedy. He visited each village and city of Dôr Dhulrent each year or two, trying to meet every one of his folk. Emár was a great fighter, he took a part in every battle against the enemy of elves where his kin took. Though he himself killed many of the [[Mêl of Eredhôr]] and saved many comrades from death, he never got even injured. He was beloved not only by the Longrim, but by all the [[Second Clan]] and others of the Elves.

Duals only exist in languages that also have a [[singular]] and [[plural]] number. A number between these that can sometimes refer to more than two referents is called a [[paucal]]. As with other number distinctions, a language can have a systematic dual category extending to all [[pronoun]]s, [[noun]]s, [[possession]], verbal [[conjugation]] etc, or only a subset of these. The subset in question can be smaller than the subset in which a distinction between singular and plural is made, for example distinguishing dual only in pronouns. Examples of languages with dual number include [[Old English]] and [[North Sámi]]. {{stub}} [[Category:Grammar]] Rhotacism 6717 49088 2009-09-10T12:44:05Z Tropylium 756 sort examples '''Rhotacism''' is the name for a [[sound change]] that creates a [[rhotic consonant]]. Examples include: * *l → /r/ (found in [[Indo-Iranian languages]]) * *n → /r/ (found in [[Albanian]]) * *ð → /r/ (found in Ostrobothnian [[Finnish]]) * *z → /r/ (in the history of the [[Italic languages]], [[Germanic languages]] and several others) * *ɣ → /r/ (found in Western Daju languages) Rhotacism is commonly an unconditional sound change. A change to a [[flap]] such as /ɾ/ is, however, usually ''not'' called rhotacism, but '''flapping'''. It is also commonly restricted to [[Syllable structure|intervocalic or medial]] positions. Flapping usually affects [[stop]]s such as /d/ (for example [[American English]]), or [[lateral]]s such as /l/ (for example [[Norwegian]]). {{stub}} [[Category:Phonology]] [[Category:Sound changes]] POA 6718 47456 2009-07-22T08:14:51Z Tropylium 756 redirect #REDIRECT [[Place of articulation]] MOA 6719 47457 2009-07-22T08:15:37Z Tropylium 756 redirect #REDIRECT [[Manner of articulation]] Natural language 6720 47461 2009-07-22T08:27:45Z Tropylium 756 redirect #REDIRECT [[Natlang]] Latin language 6721 47462 2009-07-22T08:33:07Z Tropylium 756 redirect #REDIRECT [[Latin]] Comparision of ASCII phonetic alphabets 6722 58916 2011-01-16T20:45:07Z Tropylium 756 /* Numbers and punctuation */ Most, tho not all of these are based on the [[IPA]]. A brief introduction of the systems: * '''[[X-SAMPA]]''', a general extension of [[SAMPA]] designed to accommodate the entire IPA. '''[[Z-SAMPA]]''', develop'd on the [[ZBB]], is a fully backwards compatible extension that includes the [[Extensions to the IPA]] and various other symbols, such as true mid vowels. Z-SAMPA extensions are mark'd by a green background. * '''[[CXS]]''' is another variation of X-SAMPA used mostly on the [[CONLANG]] list. It is ''not'' entirely backwards compatible. * '''[[Kirshenbaum]]''' is a somewhat more limited system that makes good use of diacritics, but has to quickly resort to diacritics such as <trl> (yes, that's a pentagraph) to describe sounds outside its "core focus" of English phonetics. * '''TIPA''', used in LaTeX typesetting of IPA. * '''Carrasquer''' (''description needed'') * '''Branner''' (''description needed'') I am purposely exclusing the '''Coutts-Barrett''' system, based on graphical mnemonics to suggest IPA letters. It is very non-compatible with all the other systems, both in the details (for example, ''-d'' for /ð/, or ''n)'' for /ŋ/), and in being prefixing rather than postfixing. I've also never seen it in use anywhere! Symbols expressible by means of diacritics are not included in the table. == Latin minuscules== Aluckily, just about everyone agrees that these should be equated with their IPA values. Tabulating these would be a waste of spacetime :-) Let's just remark on the habit of sometimes falling back on transcription based on some specific language's orthography. Common cases include <y> for /j/, which may be follo'd with <j> for /ʤ/ and <c> for /ʧ/ or /ʦ/. A good indicator of this type of transcription is seeing <š ž> for /ʃ ʒ/. == Standardized == There is little disagreement over these assignments. Exceptions in '''bold'''. {| |- ! IPA ! SAMPoids !

A Academics in the MR 6731 54729 2010-06-29T19:15:18Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Correction. *Among the refugees in Aktí from Lebanon in 1885 were four religious sisters of the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family who began the task of teaching the children. "School" was held in the ruins where the refugees lived. As soon as homes for the refugees were built, a school was built which was named Holy Angels (<font color=blue>Αγι’ Άγγελι</font>). Similar scenarios took place later in Prosforion and then in Amoulián, although in these two cases there were no religious sisters and the role of teacher was assumed by lay people. The school in Prosforion was named St. Basil (<font color=blue>Άγιο Βαςίλ</font>) and the school in Amoulián, St. Irene (<font color=blue>Αγι’ Ιρίν</font>) . Eventually the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family agreed to staff these schools (with some lay teachers as well) and a convent was built near each of the schools. *In Prosforion a central secondary school (<font color=blue>γυμνάςι</font>/<font color=red>λυςέ</font>) was built in 1961 and students are transported from Aktí and Amoulián. Once the electric bus system was operating, a special bus brought the students to the secondary school from Aktí at no charge. They return home using the regularly scheduled buses. Students from Amoulián are brought over each morning by boat and returned to the island in the evening, again at no charge. *Primary school (<font color=blue>διμοτίκ ςχολ</font>) is compulsory. It begins the September after the child's sixth birthday. It consists of six grades. Immediately upon entry into the <font color=blue>ςχολ</font>, the child beings to study Modern Greek. *Secondary school (<font color=blue>γυμνάς</font>) is also mandatory. It consists of three grades. *Although further education is not mandatory, virtually all students go on to the third level. For those preparing for further academic studies, there is the lyceum (<font color=red>λυςέ</font>) of three years. Or the student can choose vocational training, also for three years. *The only intramural sport is soccer, and there are three boys' teams and three girls' teams, each one composed of students from each deme. During the school year soccer tournaments are held with trophies awarded to the winning teams. These trophies are on display in the Government House of each deme. *The students in the lyceum are also trained as gymnasts and in fencing, archery, swimming and diving in the hopes of competing in international games. *After this educaton, the student is obligated to put in his two years in the gendarmery, if he is needed. *After serving his time in the gendarmery, the student may then find a job in the private sector or pursue higher studies at a university. *For higher education, students must attend colleges and universities outside the Monastic Republic. After passing the entrance examination, the majority of the students choose to attend the University of Thessaloniki. Scholarships and loans are available. The Aoun Brewery grants a full tuition scholarship to the graduating senior with the highest GPA in the sciences. Each of the monasteries grants a partial tuition scholarship to the twenty graduating seniors with the highest GPAs.

A Alcohol in the MR 6733 51282 2010-01-05T16:09:10Z Caeruleancentaur 11 *Alcohol Production **Wine (<font color=blue>κρασί</font>) is produced by the monasteries, each of which has extensive vineyards of the Xynomavro grape. What is not used for sacramental purposes or consumption by the monks is sold in the Lowland. The complete process, from harvesting to bottling, takes place at the monasteries. The bottles are then transported by donkey to Dafni whence they are shipped to the Lowland and the Isles. Connoisseurs are said to be able to tell the difference between the wines of the twenty monasteries. The monks drink the wine unaged, while the wine for sale in the Lowland is aged for at least one year. The labels are simple showing a picture of the monastery with its name and the year of vintage. The monasteries do not produce fortified wines. **Aoun Brewery is a small brewery (<font color=blue>ζυθοπιί</font>) located in Aktí. It is owned and operated by the Aoun family, descendants of a Lebanese refugee family from Faradiss, who came to the Monastic Republic in 1885. The head of the Aoun family, Ahmad Aoun, has been the general manager of the firm since 1998. ***In 1975, the Aoun family decided to fill a lack in the MR as all beer (<font color=blue>μπυρ</font>) had to be imported. After some extensive research they decided that a light brown wheat beer (barley would have to be imported) would best satisfy the MR market, both for the citizens and for the tourists. ***The beer is a cross between the Belgian Witbier which, while containing barley also, is flavored with orange peel; and the German Weißbier which is made from 100% wheat. ***As it is unfiltered, it still contains the yeast which gives it a milky appearance, hence the German name Weißbier, white beer. ***It is top-fermented with low hop bitterness and is 3-3.5% alcohol. It has high carbonation and a malty sweetness. ***Three varieties are made using the peel of each of the three citrus fruits that are grown on Amoulián Island. ***The water used in the brewing process comes from streams that run down on to the Lowland from the Holy Mountain. ***The brewery leases one of the larger fields on Cape Arapis where they grow their own wheat, thus not using land devoted to the growing of wheat for bread. ***The brewery has planted its own hop yard. Originally, the Tettnang hop was grown, which over the years has acquired its own characteristics from the Athonite soil, giving the ale an aroma reminiscent of cinnamon and vanilla. ***In 1991, the brewery moved from its location in the town of Aktí to a site on the other side of the Xerxes Canal. ***The brewery also runs a taverna on the site overlooking the Xerxes Canal. **Several liqueurs are produced in the Monastic Republic. ***The Monastery of St. Philotheus has a grove of cherry trees and makes a liqueur (<font color=blue>λικέρ κεράςιου</font>) from the fruit. ***The Monastery of Sts. Peter and Paul has the right to harvest chestnuts on the Holy Mountain from which a liqueur (<font color=blue>λικέρ κάςτανου</font>) is made. ***The Cambrian monks of the Monastery of St. Nicholas are known for the fine mead (<font color=blue>υδρόμελ</font>) they brew, some of which they flavor with roses, a drink known as rhodomel. ***The interior of Amoulián Island is covered with citrus groves. Orange, lemon, and lime liqueurs are made from these fruits. *Alcohol sale **Most of the alcoholic beverages made in the Monastic Republic are sold locally. Because of the limited production, there is no great demand for export. However, there is no limit to how many bottles tourists may carry with them when they leave the republic. And a number of European restaurants serve MR wines. **The sale of the monasteries’ wines and liqueurs is a monopoly of the monasteries. Each of the towns has a wine shop where these beverages are sold. **The beer, the citrus liqueurs and all other alcoholic beverages, other than the monasteries’ wine and liqueurs, are sold in state stores, one in each town. **For convenience the wine shop and the state store occupy the same room. On one side are the display cases of the monasteries' wines and liqueurs; on the other, the displays of the beer and citrus liqueurs and any imported liquor. There are separate cash registers. The wine shop and the state store are responsible for the overseas shipping of their several products. **The wine shops have a room for wine tasting, a pasttime enjoyed by the tourists. **The local liquors are brought by boat to Dafni for the use of the lay folk who work there and in Karyes. **The monks do not drink the cherry or the chestnut liqueurs and all of it is sold in the monastery wine shops. **All alcoholic beverages produced in the Monastic Republic are available in all the tavernas (<font color=blue>ταβέρν</font>). **There is no sales tax on alcoholic beverages produced in the Monastic Republic, but a sales tax of 5% is levied on imported alcoholic beverages. A Athanasius, St. 6734 54733 2010-06-29T19:43:06Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Links added. St. Athanasios the Athonite, son of an Antiochene, was a Byzantine monk who founded the monastic community on Mount Athos which has since evolved into the greatest center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. Born in Trebizond c. 920, baptized Abraham, and patronized by [[Wikipedia:Michael Maleinos|Michael Maleinos]], he studied at Constantinople and became famous there as a fervent preacher who held great authority with Michael's nephew, [[Wikipedia:Nikephoros II|Nicephorus Phocas]]. He was successful in his studies and a safe career in the civil service was his for the asking, but by the time Phocas ascended the imperial throne, ill at ease with the lax morals of the monks living in the capital, he changed his name to Athanasius and joined the monks at St. Michael’s Monastery on Mount Kyminas in Bithynia. Fearing that he was going to be chosen abbot, he fled, in 958, to Karyes, changed his name, claimed to be illiterate, and hid in his cell. Athananius helped his old friend Nicephorus Phocas prepare an expedition against the Saracens in 961, serving as almoner to the fleet. On its successful completion, Phocas gave Athanasius part of the money raised, and he used it to found a monastery on Mount Athos which was dedicated in 963. This was to be an idiorhythmic house, that is, a monastery where anchorites, hermits and monks could live in community, but without the requirements for group activity common to other monasteries. He helped defend the hermits there against the Saracens and also started to incorporate the sketes already there into what would eventually become known as the Great Lavra, which Athanasius built with the financial assistance of Nicephorus. It is still in use today and is often referred to by the people of the area simply as "Lavra" or "The Monastery". Three other foundations followed shortly thereafter. Three of them remain in place to the present. Athanasius met with considerable opposition from the hermits already at Mount Athos in the construction of his monasteries. They resented his intrusion and his attempts to bring order and discipline to their lives. He escaped two murder attempts and resistance ended only when Emperor John Tzimisces forbade any opposition to Athanasius In the year the monastery was dedicated, Phocas became emperor. Fearing he would be called to serve at the imperial court, Athanasius fled to Cyprus. Phocas found him, assured him that he would be allowed to continue his religious life in peace, and helped him finish work on the monastery. Though he faced opposition in the founding of this house, which ended only by imperial decree, the monastery flourished. Although the monks and hermits lived independent lives, many keeping their personal wealth, Athanasius insisted on Bible study, founded a school and large library, and personally planted hundreds of trees on the grounds. Upon Nicephorus' death the enemies of Athanasius prevailed and he had to leave Mount Athos for Cyprus again, where he lived until the new emperor, [[Wikipedia:John I Tzimiskis|John Tzimisces]], resumed the patronage of the Great Lavra and, in 971, bestowed upon the monastery its first charter. Athanasios, spurred by a divine vision, returned at once to Mount Athos as a hegumen and introduced a typicon (rule of life) for the cenobites, based on those compiled by St. Theodore Studites and St. Basil of Caesarea. He died c.1003 when the arch of a church under construction fell on him and five of his monks. Upon his death, Athanasius was glorified as a saint.

C Catholic Church in the MR 6736 51287 2010-01-05T17:53:30Z Caeruleancentaur 11 *In 1885, when the Lebaneses arrived in the Monastic Republic from Lebanon, they were accompanied by a priest, the Reverend Youssef Ghanem, and four Sisters of the Holy Family. Father Youssef had received instructions from the Patriarch of Antioch to care for the spiritual well-being of the refugees. In the beginning the refugees were housed in one of the abandoned monasteries and Father Youssef was able to celebrate the Divine Liturgy in a former meeting room turned into a chapel. *With the help of monks from the Monastery of St. Maroun, buildings were gradually erected and, after the houses were built for the 25 families, a school and a church were built. The church was dedicated to St. Ephrem. *After the demes of Prosforion and Amoulián were founded, Lebanese families began to move to these demes to find work, so that, in a few years, Maronite Catholics could be found in all three demes. Soon churches had to be built in these two other demes and priests had to be recruited from Lebanon to serve as pastors. Until pastors were located, monk-priests from the monastery served the needs of the people. *Because of the world situation and the distance involved, it was difficult for the patriarch to come from Lebanon for pastoral visitations. Other than ordinations, the pastoral needs of the Maronite community were directed by the abbot of St. Maroun Monastery. During his last pvisitation in 1935, the Patriarch elevated the Monastery of St. Maroun to the dignity of a territorial abbacy with complete and autonomous control of the Catholic Church in the Monastic Republic, saving the conferring of Holy Orders. The patriarch promised to ordain any men that the abbot deemed qualified for the priesthood and to send any of his own priests to the Republic should there be a need. C Currency of the MR 6737 47509 2009-07-22T18:02:33Z Caeruleancentaur 11 New article. The matter of currency was not of great importance to the Monastic Republic until the immigrants began to arrive in 1885. As the population began to grow, so did the need for hard cash. The Holy Synod decided at the time that it would be just as easy to use the Greek Kingdom’s currency. But the desire to simplify the currency and at the same time to do away with another dependency on the Greek Kingdom led the Holy Synod to ask to join the cooperative effort that led to the Unified Currency Convention in 1988. In 1990, the Monastic Republic became a signatory nation of the Convention. In keeping with the European Federation currency pattern, the Monastic Republic denominations are: 1 mina (M) = 20 drachmae (δ) = 240 lepta (λ), thus, e.g., M10,δ18,λ4. *The bills are in denominations of M200, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, and 1. *Coins are minted in denominations of δ20, 10, 5, 2, and 1; and λ6. *On the reverse: **All the coins will have a large numeral denoting the denomination. Along the upper circumference will be the MR’s full abbreviation (in Greek, of course) ΓΜΔΑΟ (GMDAO), and in the lower circumference the denomination spelled out. *On the obverse: **The 20 drachmae will have the coat-of-arms complete with crossed olive branches. The common name for it will be <font color=blue>οικόσιμο</font> (oikósimo, coat-of-arms). **The 10 drachmae will have a picture of the Frankish tower which is now a museum. The common name for it will be <font color=blue>πύργος</font> (púrgos, tower). **The 5 drachmae will have a picture of the first monastery, that of St. Athanasius. The common name for it will be <font color=blue>λάυρα</font> (lávra, monastery). **The 2 drachmae will have a picture of the national bird, the golden eagle, grasping an olive branch in its talons. The common name for it will be <font color=blue>αετός</font> (aetós, eagle). **The 1 drachma will have a picture of one of the three lighthouses in the MR. The common name for it will be <font color=blue>φάρος</font> (pháros, lighthouse). **The 6 lepta will bear an image of St. Athanasius. The common name for it will be lepton, since there’s only one. **Along the upper circumference will be the motto “Peace through Faith.” **Along the lower circumference will be the date of issuance.

Seasonal prices extend from Pentecost Monday through Independence Day (October 5). *Along both the east and west shores of the Lowland and the shores of Amoulián Island, wherever there are sandy beaches, B&Bs (<font color=blue>ταβέρνι</font>, tavernas) have been built to accomodate tourists. The buildings may not be taller than three stories and all have shared bathrooms. The beaches are free for sunning, swimming and other beach sports. Modest bathing suits are required. *Drenia Island, the largest of the islets, has beautiful sandy beaches. There is a ferry to the island to enjoy the sun, sand and sea. There is a taverna on the island, but no other buildings, where food and drink are available. The morning ferry leaves at 9:00 a.m. and returns at 12:00 noon. The afternoon ferry leaves at 1:00 p.m. and returns at 4:00 p.m. The evening ferry leaves at 5:00 p.m. and returns at 8:00 p.m., in time to catch the 9:00 ferry to Prosforion. The fee for the ferry is M3 roundtrip. The taverna has limited accomodations and reservations must be made well in advance if the visitor wishes to stay overnight. *Wind-surfing and hang-gliding are permitted, although there is not enough surf for surf-boarding. Scuba diving and snorkeling are permitted, but the territorial waters of the Republic are a wildlife reserve and there is a heavy fine for disturbing the ecosystem of the Republic’s waters. There are dive shops in all three towns and one on Drenia Island. Except for the ferry, motorized vessels are not permitted in the channel between Amoulián Island and Drenia Island. The islands are, thus, the ideal place to begin an underwater adventure. The islets are not accessible, since they are part of the wild life refuge that includes the Holy Mountain. Divers may explore the waters off the Holy Mountain but may not set foot upon the Mountain. *There are two tour boats that sail around the peninsula so that the monasteries may be seen from the sea. One leaves from Prosforion at 9:00 a.m., seven days a week, and sails east around the peninsula, returning via the Xerxes Canal to Prosforion. The voyage takes about six hours and lunch is served aboard the vessel. The other voyage is similar only it leaves from Aktí and sails west around the peninsula. The two vessels meet somewhere between the two capes, Pinnes and Timiou Prodros, at the end of the peninsula. There are plenty of opportunities for taking photos of the beautiful scenery. Mt. Athos is stunning from many angles. The voyages are cancelled in the event of inclement weather. The fee for the voyage is M12. *Boats can be chartered for deep sea fishing in Prosforion or Aktí. *The Museum of Athonite Antiquities is in Prosforion, in the 14th-century Byzantine tower. On display are many art works from the monasteries. Docents are available. The exhibits are changed from time to time. There is no entrance fee, but donations are welcomed. *With advance notice artifacts from the monasteries will be brought to the museum to enable both male and female scholars to study them. *All three towns have marinas where both citizens and foreigners may dock their boats. The fee per night varies with the size of the boat, anywhere from M3 to M10. *Bicycles are very popular in the Republic and may be rented by the hour, δ3 per hour. Tandem bicycles are available. As long as there is no destruction of property, cyclists may stop anywhere in the open fields of the Lowland and the Isles to rest or have a picnic lunch. *Tours are given of several of the industries in the Republic. In Aktí are the silk factory and the Aoun Brewery. In Prosforion are the golden eagle refuge and the carpet factory. In Amoulián there are tours of the liqueur distillery. A fee of δ6 is charged to tour the factories, the brewery and the distillery. A donation is requested at the golden eagle refuge. *A quiet moment may be enjoyed by wandering through the citrus groves on Amoulián Island. Any of the tavernas would be glad to provide a picnic lunch for the tourist. *There are performances of the Mt. Athos Dance Troupe every Saturday: in the Mt. Athos Performing Arts Center in Prosforion on the first and third Saturdays of the month; in Aktí on the second Sunday of the month, and in Amoulián on the fourth Sunday of the month. Peformances begin at 7:30 p.m. and usually end about 9:30 p.m. There is a charge of M1. *If you'e looking for theme parks and mad activity, this is not the place for you. There are heavy fines for public drunkenness. *Tourism now contributes about 50% of the Republic’s GDP. ====Agriculture==== *Olive (''Olea europaea'') oil is the major export of the Monastic Republic. Every monastery has olive trees. Each one harvests its own olives from mid-September to mid-November. Both table olives and olive oil are processed. The average yield of an olive tree is two kg. of oil. As there are upwards of 3,500 olive trees on the Holy Mountain the average annual production is 7,000 kg. (8 tons) of oil. Some of the oil is kept by the monasteries for their own purposes. The rest is shipped to the Lowland for local consumption or for export. Most of the oil is exported to the Hellenic Empire and added to their olive oil export. Because of the terrain, virtually all the olives are picked by hand. This results in a massive project for the monks in the autumn, with all able-bodied monks taking part. If a monastery is short-handed, it may request help for the duration of the harvest from other monasteries. Since all the processing takes place in the monasteries, viewing the processing is not available to the tourist, although the pilgrim may request to watch, or even join in! *Every monastery has vineyards (''Vitis vinifera'') and makes its own wine (<font color=blue>κραςί</font>). In 1945, the monasteries agreed to divide the grapes produced into two groups. It was agreed that, on the north coast, once the current Xinómavro vines died, were burned, etc., they would be replaced with the Assyrtíko variety to make a white wine. The monasteries on the south coast would continue with the Xinómavro vines to produce a red wine. The Monastery of St. George the Painter, at a higher altitude than the other monasteries, asked for an exception in order to make an icewine, using the Riesling grape. The monastery grows enough grapes to make its own wine for table consumption and sacramental use. The harvest of the icewine grapes is later in the season, after the frost.This icewine is not drunk by the monks, but is sold for local consumption. The complete processing of the wines takes place in the monasteries. What is not used by the monks is sold to the local communities. Since all the processing takes place in the monasteries, viewing the processing is not available to the tourist, although the pilgrim may request to watch. **The labels on these wines are very simple. They show a picture of the monastery and its name (in Greek and Latin letters), the name of the grape used, and the year of the vintage. This is as good as any ''d’origine controleé'' designation. **These wines are produced in two quality levels: ***<font color=blue>γνυσ κραςί</font> indicates that the wine contains 100% of the monastery's grapes. ***<font color=blue>νοθευμέν κραςί</font> indicates that the wine contains 75%-99% of the monastery's grapes. **As all wines are aged and bottled at the monasteries, a designation of "estate bottled" is not necessary. **The householder is also permitted to make homemade wine, but this may not be sold. This includes, tsiropo (<font color=blue>τσιρόπ</font>), a grape liqueur. *The monastery of Sts. Peter and Paul was, in 1544, given the exclusive right to harvest the chestnuts (''Castanea sativa'') that grow on the Holy Mountain. They do enlist other monasteries in this task, but all the chestnuts are brought to the monastery. The harvested nuts are not eaten. The total crop is used to make a chestnut liqueur (<font color=blue>καστανάκ Πετροπάυλου</font>, kastanák Petropávlou) which has become a distinctive part of the Athonite cuisine. The monks do not drink it but export it to the Lowland where it is drunk locally and also exported. *The Monastery of the Annunciation has a cherry (''Prunus avium'') orchard. They make a liqueur from the fruit which they sell. The monks do not drink the liqueur (<font color=blue>κερασάκ Φιλοθέου</font>, kerasák Filothéou) but export it to the Lowland where it is drunk locally and also exported. **All of the twenty monasteries have bee hives. Honey is the only sweetener used on the Holy Mountain, although sugar is imported for use in the Lowland and the Isles. The Cambrian monks at the monastery of St. Nicholas brew a mead (<font color=blue>υδρόμελ</font>, idrómel) for export. This monastery also has a very large rose (''Rosa canina'') garden. The roses are processed for rose water, attar of roses and rose hips, all of which are exported to the Lowland. *Every available hectare of the Lowland, and several on Amoulián Island, is devoted to the growing of wheat (''Triticum aestivum''). 100% of the wheat grown is used in the making of bread. The Monastic Republic is self-sufficient in bread and no wheat is exported. After harvest, those who own donkeys may cut the stalks for use as fodder. It is necessary to have a license to do so and these may be obtained for M1 from the office of the Hegumen Seneschal. The stalks on Amoulián Island are fed to the goats. The farming vehicles used for planting and harvesting the wheat are one of the few categories of fossil-fuel vehicles permitted in the Monastic Republic. *Each of the towns has several greenhouses (<font color=blue>θερμοκήπι</font>, thermokípi) in which garden vegetables are grown. There are five in Prosforion, four of them 300’ in length, and one 200’ in length. Amoulián and Aktí each have four greenhouses, each 200’ in length. These vegetables are grown in rock wool: onions, garlic, leeks, cantaloupe, romaine, spinach, and cabbage. These are grown hydoponically: potatos, tomatoes, eggplants, bell peppers, French beans, zucchini, and peas. One complete greenhouse is devoted to tomatoes. In one of the greenhouses in Amoulián oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, rosemary, dill and mint are grown. These vegetables are sold in the towns’ marketplaces (<font color=blue>αγóρ</font>, agór) or may be sold to restaurants. Other vegetables that may be requested are shipped in from the Hellenic Empire. **Householders usually have their own garden plots (<font color=blue>κηπάρι</font>, kipári in their courtyards (<font color=blue>αυλ</font>, avlí) and may sell their produce in the marketplace. The vegetables they grow are their own favorites, but the lady of the house always grows her own fresh herbs. *When the immigrants arrived from Paşalimanı, they planted the interior of Amoulián Island with citrus (''Citrus sinensis'') groves. The fresh fruit is now available to the citizens of the Monastic Republic. A distillery in Amoulián produces orange, lemon, and lime liqueurs from the rinds: <font color=blue>λιμονάκι</font>, (limonáki); <font color=blue>πορτοκαλάκι</font>, (portokaláki); and <font color=blue>κιτράκι</font> (kitráki), which are consumed locally and exported. Beehives are placed throughout the groves so that there are bees for pollination. They also produce citrus blossom honey. Citrus blossom petals are gathered to produce citrus water (orange, lemon or lime), which is used locally as a flavoring in a number of confections. *Olive oil and wine contribute to about 20% of the Republic’s GDP. ====Industries==== *The immigrants from Lebanon brought with them the knowledge of weaving silk and began the sericulture industry in the Monastic Republic. The town of Aktí remains the center of the industry. Both silk thread and silk textiles are produced. Most of the textiles are exported, but the thread is purchased by the carpet industry in Prosforion. *The immigrants from Turkey who founded the town of Prosforion had been carpet weavers and they set up that industry when they arrived in the Monastic Republic. The carpets produced are the flat-woven carpets known as kilims (<font color=blue>κιλίμ</font>, kilim). Any cotton that is required must be imported. There is a large carpet factory in Prosforion, but many carpets are made at home. The raw materials are given to the homemaker who then turns the completed carpet over to the factory for a profit. No two designs are the same and requests for a certain design will be honored. Kilims are found in all the homes in the Monastic Republic and are also exported. Ordinary kilims, which are what are woven the most, can be elaborated on demand as Suzāni kilims (with raised figures), or as ''khorjin'' or ''juwal''s (bags for carrying goods), or as tapestries for the wall. *There is a flock of free-range Black Anatolian goats on Ammouliani Island. They are owned by one of the families that came from Turkey. This breed is raised for fiber, milk and meat. They are allowed to range among the citrus trees accompanied by several goatherds (<font color=blue>γιδοβóςκ</font>, yidobósk) and their dogs (Anatolian Shepherd Dogs). As they keep the weeds at bay, they fertilize the ground. They are shorn twice a year and the wool is sold to the carpet factory. Before being allowed to range in the morning the does are milked. The milk is used to make an Emmentaler-type cheese. From the whey is made muzithra (<font color=blue>μυζήθρα</font>), a cheese similar to the Italian ricotta. Only the does and the wethers are allowed to range. The bucks are kept at the stable. Goats, when slaughtered are sold to the restaurants under the name chevon; excess kids are sold as cabrito, milk-fed kids. *There are many talented monks in the monasteries. Among the arts practiced by these monks are stained glass and painting. There are also experts in the preservation of documents. *All three towns have fishing fleets. Since the territorial waters of the Monastic Republic are a wildlife preserve, the fishing fleets must go outside the territorial waters to fish. The usual catch consists of sea bream, sea bass, wrasse, octopus and squid. All the sea food caught is used within the Republic. Since red meat must be imported and is, thus, expensive, the people have made an art of the use of seafood. *Silk textile and carpets contribute to about 20% of the Republic’s GDP. ====Imports==== *The major imports are petroleum products, rice, lentils, chickpeas, coffee, tea, and sugar.

I have attempted to clean out immediately categorizable pages. Most of them are however related to this or that conlang. Knowing that not all conlangers want to have their pages explicitely listed anywhere before they're in a vaigly presentable state (including myself!) I've left these alone for now. Seeing however that quite a few (for example [[Dalcurian]], [[Khangaþyagon]] or [[Senjecan language|Senjecan]]) are among the more complete works on this wiki, I wonder if we could just go on with them, or at least ask. Or indeed, is ''everything'' about them uncategorized, or are some basic pages categorized? Should check that too. Another large block is the conlang relay subpages; I'm sure nobody would mind categorizing those, but do we need to? The main pages for each can be found quite well. So on one hand, unnecessary work; on the other, they really stick out in the list. :ʃ The likes of [[Europic]] and [[Uralo-Siberian languages]] are probably common-interest enuff that we don't have to worry about page "ownership", but should they go as reconstructed languages, language families or what??

They began with the Twelve Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church. Seven of the twelve were finally chosen and are presented below in bold print. *Three of the holidays are secular. Constitution Day and Independence Day occur every year, Election Day only every four years. *In the Monastic Republic the mother of Jesus is most commonly referred to as the All-holy, ''Panagía''. Four of the fifteen holidays are dedicated to her. One of these, the Immaculate Conception, is not celebrated by the Orthodox Churches, but is included for the Maronite Catholics. *The holidays of April, May and June have no set dates, but Good Friday, Easter, the Ascension, and Pentecost fall some time during these months. *The following are the fifteen national holidays, the public days of rest, in the Monastic Republic: **January 6 (January 7, if January 6 falls on a Sunday), '''the Epiphany'''/Theopháni Kyríou; **February 2 (February 3, if February 2 falls on a Sunday), '''the Presentation of Christ'''/Hypapánt Kyríou; **Good Friday/Megál Paraskév; **'''Easter'''/Páscha Monday; **'''Ascension'''/Analéps Kyríou Thursday; **'''Pentecost'''/Pentekóst Monday; **July 5 (July 6, if July 5 falls on a Sunday), Constitution Day/Ēmér Suntágmatou, the date on which the constitution was adopted in 1872; **August 15 (August 16, if August 15 falls on a Sunday), '''the Dormition of the All-holy'''/Koímes Panagías; **Election Day, the first Monday of September in election years/Ēmér Εlogṓn; **September 8 (September 9, if September 8 falls on a Sunday), the Nativity of the All-holy/Génnēs Panagías; **October 5 (October 6, if October 5 falls on a Sunday), Independence Day/Ēmér Anexartēsou, the date on which a united force of monks drove the Ottoman troops out of the Monastic Republic's territory in 1870; **November 21 (November 22, if November 21 falls on a Sunday), '''the Presentation of the All-holy'''/Eídos Panagías; **December 8 (December 9, if December 8 falls on a Sunday), the Immaculate Conception of the All-Holy/Ópil Súllēps; **December 24, Christmas Eve; **December 25, Christmas Day/Xristoúgen. N Neutrality of the MR 6751 54725 2010-06-29T12:26:52Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Spelling correction. *The Serene Monastic Republic of the Holy Mountain is a professedly Christian nation and has an obligation to proclaim the Gospel; not necessarily in an overt way, e.g., by preaching on the street corners, but certainly its actions and attitudes must reflect Gospel values. Therefore the Monastic Republic cannot be a neutral nation in that it has no opinions about anything. *As a human institution the Monastic Republic has a right to express its opinions (which it will probably do only rarely, when asked). Therefore, the Monastic Republic is to be viewed as a non-aligned and non-belligerent nation. The Monastic Republic will not cooperate materially in any armed conflict, but may certainly express its opinion on the armed conflict if the Holy Synod feels the need to do so. Likewise, the Monastic Republic has the right of self-defense. The Gendarmery has been established for the purpose of maintaining peace and order within the Republic, but it certainly can be called upon to resist an armed aggressor until help arrives. The Holy Synod expects that, given the nature of the Monastic Republic, any nation will come to its assistance in the event of invasion. To this end, the Monastic Republic will neither purchase nor own any vehicle or vessel of war, other than the vessels needed to patrol and protect the territorial waters of the Monastic Republic. (Armed agressors aside, there is still a need to protect the Monastic Republic from poachers, smugglers, etc.) The Holy Synod also feels that calling for an embargo is a valid moral statement, although any practical effect would be rather negligible. *The Monastic Republic is not isolationist. What the Monastic Republic hopes to do is to cooperate in projects of a humanitarian or educational nature as much as its resources will allow. While the monks themselves may not leave the monasteries to do this work, their resources may be given to these cooperative projects, e.g., by tithing their income. But it must be remembered that the Monastic Republic is not merely a "bunch of monks." There are lay citizens in the Lowland and the Isles who have the right and the obligation to proclaim the Gospel in ways that are available to them, but not to the monks. There will be citizens who will have expertise to contribute to the world scene. The Monastic Republic has already made it known that arrangements will be made to give women access to the treasures of the monasteries. For example, the Monastic Republic would be glad to provide a medical unit of some kind in an emergency. *Likewise, the Holy Synod offers to the nations of the world its service as an arbiter. The Holy Synod, however, requests that they be asked only in cases involving binding arbitration. As monks, they do not feel that they should be asked to give of their time to come up with a judgment by which neither party has to abide.

In attendance were our nine dimarchs and other leading citizens of our demes. His Serene Grace Nicephorus, with Mother Maryam Halabi and Andreas Antoniadis, the architect, together cut the ribbon officially opening the hospital. Admissions will begin immediately and any citizens in hospitals in the Hellenic Empire will be returned, if possible, to the Monastic Republic. *Great care and thought was put into the hospital's design and construction so as to ensure that they are of the highest order to provide modern, comfortable and compassionate care for the patients. Mr. Antoniadis, of the design firm Antoniadis and Gozanas in Athens, is to be commended. The hospital will have the following departments to provide for the total care of the patients: surgical floor, medical floor, pediatric floor, labor and delivery suite, operating suite, laboratory, x-ray, kitchen, central supply, physical therapy, medical records, emergency room, out-patient, pharmacy, and housekeeping. The hospital will employ over 100 employees. *This facility is just the latest in the charitable works that have been brought to fruition by the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family under the leadership of the Superior-General of the Sisters, Mother Anastasia Azzi, as well as of Mother Maryam Halabi. Sister Maryam is to be the administrator of the hospital, in charge of the day-to-day operations of the facility. She has also been named the superior of the community of sisters who will operate the hospital. The Monastic Republic warmly welcomes the twenty sisters who will be in charge of the various departments. *The sisters had many obstacles to overcome to get the hospital up and running, but in the end their perseverance and determination and, above all, their Christian faith saw them through. The sisters are deeply grateful for the efforts of Mr. Anwar Itani, a well-respected worker for charitable causes and a leading member of the Maronite Catholic community. His prominence in the opening ceremony proceedings, which was insisted upon by the sisters, was well deserved and recognised his hard work. *The ceremonial opening was followed by a luncheon for the invited guests in the hospital’s cafeteria. ====NEW STAR IN MR SKIES==== *Prosforion – September 9, 1985 *Michael Trampakoulos, staff reporter *On Monday, August 6, 1984, Faiqa Maalouf opened a dance studio in a warehouse behind the Mt. Athos Performing Arts Center. Twenty dancers were signed up with the company, plus a staff of designers, seamstresses and musicians. In Maalouf Kira’s words, “I wanted to add to the cultural variety of the Monastic Republic and provide the citizens with another form of entertainment.” After a year of designing and rehearsing, the troupe was ready to perform in public. The end result was that the citizens of Prosforion were treated to an evening of stunning dance performances, Saturday evening, September 7, by Maalouf Kira’s Mt. Athos Dance Troupe. In an outstanding display of Terpsichore, the twelve female and eight male dancers demonstrated their knowledge of and their mastery of the Greek and the Levantine folk dance. The presentation lasted an hour and twenty minutes with one intermission. The first half of the program consisted of examples of Greek folk dancing and included, among others, a rousing rendition of a Thracian ''karsilimás'', a properly sedate Peloponnesian ''kalamatianós'', a beautifully rendered ''syrtós'' showing the difference between it and the ''kalamatianós'', and a vibrant ''ballos'' from the Aegean Islands. *After the intermission the audience was treated to a series of Levantine dances starting with an elaborate ''dabke'', the variations of which made the dance last 25 minutes. This was preceded by the obligatory ''mawwal'' beautifully sung by Omar Salloum. After a troupe rendition of a ''halay'', individual dancers demonstrated their skill with the ''raqs sharki'' (misnamed “belly dance”) in the gymnastic Turkish style. The Holy Synod, however, will not permit dancing with the abdomen uncovered. The dancers were given a standing ovation at the conclusion of the performance. And a rousing round of applause was given to the ensemble who provided the music, which consisted of ''oud'', ''mijwiz'', ''durbakke'', ''daff'', ''zurna'', and ''ney''. *We are also in debt to Marta Salameh and her staff for the beautiful costumes. They should be accounted among the national treasures of the Monastic Republic. Indeed, the whole troupe should be declared a national treasure. Maalouf Kira has contributed significantly to the culture and life of the Monastic Republic. The troupe will be performing in the Performing Arts Center on the first and third Saturday of each month, with performances in Aktí on the second Saturday and in Ammouliani on the fourth Saturday. The troupe will also take part annually in the Constitution Day Independence Day festivities in the Prosforion plateia. ====SOFIA AOUN ENTERS CONVENT==== *Prosforion, August 19, 1974 *Rayan Samaha, staff reporter *Sofia Aoun, the daughter of John Aoun, owner of the Aoun Brewery, and his wife Abigail, left the Monastic Republic on Thursday, August 15, after celebrating the Divine Liturgy with the sisters at Holy Spirit Hospital. She is flying to Lebanon to enter the Sisters of the Holy Family. Sofia graduated from the gymnasio in 1968 and has worked at the hospital as a nurses’ aide since graduation. She will spend her two-year novitiate at the motherhouse in Betroun, then be sent for her nurse’s training. When she completes her training, she will return to the Hospital of the Holy Spirit and begin her vocation nursing the sick and injured of the Monastic Republic. ====ORTHODOX NUNS WELCOMED TO THE MR==== *Aktí, October 17th, 1955 *Zaina Harb, staff reporter *Last Wednesday, October 12th, seven Ukrainian Orthodox nuns disembarked at the port of Aktí, to be welcomed by His Serene Grace, Archimandrite Gabriel, and the Very Reverend Boris of St. Pantaleimon Monastery. *In Stanislav Chop’s attempt to russify Ukraine between 1950 and 1961, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church suffered a severe persecution. Early in the period, a convent of Ukrainian nuns fled the country. After passing from one country to another, they have at last reached a home in the Monastic Republic. At the request of Hegumen Boris of St. Pantaleimon, the Holy Synod agreed to permit the nuns to reside in the Monastic Republic. *For the past two years, the monks of the monastery have been building a convent in Aktí which will accommodate twenty nuns. Besides the nuns’ individual rooms, there are a chapel, a refectory, an office for the superior, a visitors’ room, a very large kitchen, and a studio where the nuns may create their works of art. Although the nuns will receive some income from their works of art, their steady source of income will be the baking of altar bread for the Republic’s six parishes. *The two prelates and other greeters accompanied the nuns to their new home, where the Divine Liturgy was celebrated in thanksgiving for the safe arrival of the nuns. Hegumen Boris blessed the convent and Archimandrite Gabriel received the nuns into the Autocephalous Monastic Orthodox Church of the Holy Mountain. *The monks of St. Pantaleimon’s Monastery were not the only ones who prepared the convent for the nuns. Many lay men and women of both the Catholic and the Orthodox parishes of Aktí contributed to the furnishings of the interior of the convent. The chapel was adorned by art work from St. Pantaleimon Monastery. A garden was planted in their enclosure and the pantries were filled with food. Monetary donations came in from the other four parishes so that the nuns would have some capital with which to being their life with us. *Knowing in advance that the nuns would be living with us, several ladies in the Monastic Republic have indicated their desire to enter the convent. *Through all their trials Mother Olena Gaponenko managed to keep her group together. The six nuns who arrived with her are Aneta Shumenko, Iryna Kuts, Mykhaila Tur, Nastasya Serbin, Oksana Bagry, and Vira Kozyar. We are, indeed, blessed to have these holy women now living with us. ====PILGRIM FALLS 200 FT. OFF CLIFF==== *Prosforion, August 10th, 2009 *David Soukis, staff reporter *While walking the trail between the Monastery of St. George that Painter and the Monastery of St. Maroun, 26-year-old Stefan Siannis lost his footing and fell about 200 feet down a steep cliff before a clump of trees broke his fall Sunday afternoon. “Three of his lumbar vertebrae and his right tibia are broken, and he has a serious gash on the back of his neck,” the medic reported. *He is recovering in Holy Spirit Hospital after a fellow pilgrim ran to St. Maroun Monastery to summon help. A call was place to the Prosferion gendarmery and a rescue helicopter was flown to the scene. *“On a scale of one to ten, physically I feel like a four,” Siannis said later from his hospital bed, “but emotionally, though, I feel like a nine-and-a-half.” *Siannis was with two other pilgrims and, as he stepped back to get a better view of the Holy Mountain, he lost his footing and slid down the cliff face, tumbling head over heels as he fell, landing in a small collection of trees. He was stuck for about two hours until the helicopter arrived. His other companion stayed with him and kept shouting encouragement to him. According to the companion, “He had come to rest in a small stand of spruce but was laid out on a bed of rocks that was anything but level. *I could see that his face and hands were covered in dried blood, that both of his eyes were swollen shut, and that he was unable or unwilling to move his right leg.” *Sgt. Thomas Kouches of the Prosferion Medevac Unit was lowered from the hovering helicopter to Siannis. Once he had splinted the leg, the two were raised and then placed down on the trail. A stretcher was then lowered for Siannis and he was placed in the helicopter which then flew off to Prosferion. *From his hospital bed, Siannis thanked his companions for helping in his rescue. He was full of praise for the medevac team who so skillfully extricated him from the narrow canyon. As soon as his condition is stable, he will be transported to a hospital nearer his home in the Hellenic Empire. He has agreed to have a photograph taken of his injuries to be displayed as a caution to other pilgrims to walk with care along the mountain trails. *“I’ll be back in two years for another pilgrimage,” Siannis said, “but I’ll be more careful next time!” Category:Off topic 6753 47619 2009-07-23T14:31:21Z Tropylium 756 Created page with 'What are these articles doing on the wiki, again?'

P Pilgrimage to the MR 6755 51311 2010-01-05T23:40:57Z Caeruleancentaur 11 *The Climate of Athos **Winter on Athos (mid-September to mid-June), compared to southern Greece, is long, wet, and often cold. Snow is by no means a rare occurrence, even at low levels; and stormy seas often confine boats to harbor. As a result there are few visitors at this time. For those who are not bothered by climatic uncertainty and who want to have the Holy Mountain to themselves, winter can be a good time to go. The monasteries have now installed electricity and space heaters are available in the rooms. However, Mt. Athos can only be safely climbed between May and September. **High summer by contrast (mid-June to mid-September) can be very hot and is also the time that attracts the greatest numbers of visitors. This means that long-distance walking can be uncomfortable. Of those who can choose, many will prefer to plan their visit either in spring (mid-April to mid-June), when the temperature is more congenial for walking and the wild flowers are at their best, or in autumn (mid-September to late October), when the selection of fruit and vegetables being offered may be more appealing. *Directions for Making a Pilgrimage **Mount Athos needs to protect its seclusion, without which it would lose its raison d'être. For this reason it has to impose strict entry regulations. The bureaucracy may at first glance appear formidable; and so it is. But the following procedure is a reasonably sure way to gain entry. **Admission to the Holy Mountain is not determined by a daily quota, but rather by the number of pilgrims on the Holy Mountain at any one time. If there are no pilgrims on the mountain, then 100 pilgrims may be admitted. If there are already 50 pilgrims on the mountain, then only 50 will be admitted on that day. Pilgrims may stay on the Holy Mountain a maximum of seven days. In this context, by definition, pilgrim means Christian. Women are never admitted. **The quota and the scheduling of pilgrimages are administered by the Office of the Hegumen Constable. The office is open from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to noon. It is closed on Sundays and on all public holidays. Those wishing to make a pilgrimage should first contact the office, by mail or telephone, to ask if there is a place in the quota for the day on which they wish to enter. The more notice the pilgrim can give, especially in summer and around the time of major feasts, the greater his chance of success. Reservations can be made any time up to one year before the pilgrim’s planned arrival date. Requests for reservations must include the pilgrim’s itinerary. The Office of the Hegumen Constable will make reservations at the monasteries that the pilgrim wishes to visit. No one is eligible for pilgrimage two years in a row. After the reservation has been made, the pilgrim must send by post a photocopy of that page of his passport which gives his identification. This will be checked against the actual passport upon arrival at the Office. If he has made his reservation well in advance, he will receive a letter of confirmation from the Office of the Hegumen Constable within about two weeks with further instructions, including advice if his itinerary is not possible in the seven-day period. **All travelers are requested to confirm their reservations by telephone two weeks before the date of the intended visit. Likewise, if the pilgrim will be unable to travel on the date which he has reserved, he is asked to inform the Office of the Hegumen Constable so that others may take his place. Failure to do so will be noted and his request for a new reservation may not be respected. **The pilgrim must then present himself at the Office in person with his passport at least one day before the visit. The Office is located in Government House in Prosforion. It is not necessary for the layman to supply a letter of recommendation. Pilgrims in Holy Orders or ministers of a Protestant faith must enclose a letter of recommendation from their diocesan bishop or a person of equivalent status. **Provided that the pilgrim has reserved a place in the quota for the day when he wishes to enter, the pilgrim will then be issued a permit (diamonetirion) addressed to the monasteries the pilgrim wishes to visit which entitles him to hospitality on the Holy Mountain for the nights on his itinerary. **A special diamonetirion may be requested by those who wish to stay longer at only one monastery to do study and research. This request must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from the scholar’s museum, institute, etc. **It is best to arrive in Prosforion one or two days before the start of the pilgrimage. The Office of the Hegumen Constable will be glad to make reservations for pilgrims arriving early at any of the tavernas in Prosforion or with a family who has agreed to take in pilgrims for a modest fee set by the Office. All the tavernas have a lock-up where surplus luggage may be left while the pilgrim is on the Holy Mountain. Similar arrangements are made for those pilgrims wishing to visit the monasteries on the east coast of the Holy Mountain. **Before embarking, the pilgrim shows his diamonitirion to the steward of the boat upon boarding. **Prosforion is the point of departure for the monasteries on the west coast of the Holy Mountain. It is literally the end of the road. From Prosforion a boat departs every day at 9:45 a.m. This boat is the only means of access to the west coast of the Holy Mountain. On the west coast the boat stops at the monasteries of Holy Archangels, St. Pantaleimon, St. Thomas, the Presentation of Jesus, and at the military post at Daphni. Pilgrims may disembark at any of these points in keeping with their itinerary. **Aktí is the point of departure for the monasteries on the east coast of the Holy Mountain. From Aktí a boat departs every day at 9:45 a.m. This boat is the only means of access to the east coast of the Holy Mountain. On the east coast the boat stops at the monasteries of Ascension, Transfiguration, St. Nicholas, Sts. Peter and Paul, and St. Athanasius. Pilgrims may disembark at any of these points in keeping with their itinerary. **In the case of inclement weather when the boats may not sail, arrangements will be made with the monasteries to change the itinerary, if the pilgrim wishes. *What to take **If the pilgrim intends to walk, it best to take as little as possible. At each monastery the pilgrim is given accomodations in a four-person room in the guest house (archontariki) for the duration of his visit. He will be provided with food and drink, a bed with adequate bedding and a bath towel, so it is not necessary to carry these things. Each bed has a desk and chair. **If the pilgrim is walking to another monastery, the host monastery will prepare a packed lunch, if this is noted on the diamonitirion. If walking a long distance during the day the pilgrim is well advised to leave the monastery with a full water bottle. The bottle may be refilled at any of the streams the pilgrim may pass. The water is cold and potable. **The most important item for walking pilgrims is a good map. This map is available, in several different languages, at the Office of the Hegumen Constable. The walking paths are clearly indicated on the map. **Other items the pilgrim should bring on his pilgrimage: ***soap and toothpaste (there is no hot water, but the water is warmed with solar heat, so it is not ice cold). ***a flashlight (the pilgrim is requested to be frugal in his use of electricity); ***stout walking shoes or boots and heavy socks; ***casual clothing; shorts may not be worn at any time; shirts must have sleeves, short or long; ***any medication he may need, insect repellent, and a few first aid supplies; ***a hat. *Special Regulations and Notices **General ***Pilgrims under the age of 18 may not stay on the Holy Mountain overnight. ***Long hair is not permitted on the Holy Mountain. Those pilgrims who arrive at Prosforion with long hair may have it cut at any one of the local barbers. ***Smoking is prohibited at all times while on the Holy Mountain. **At the Monastery ***Upon arrival at a monastery, before 5:00 p.m., the pilgrim will be given a glass of water and a piece of Turkish delight. He then registers in the guest book. ***After putting his baggage in his cell, the pilgrim asks the guest-master (archontáris) when he may see and venerate the relics and miraculous icons. Often a guided tour is offered accompanied by information about the history of the monastery. ***Meals are eaten with the monks in the monastery's refectory (trapeza). The food is extremely basic, usually vegetarian, eaten in total silence and often with great speed. One is not supposed to enjoy it, but it is good food. The diner will be feasting mainly on bread, olives, pasta, lentils, vegetables and salad. One cup of wine is permitted. The cups are generous! Fish (including squid) and cheese are served on Sundays and the Great Feasts. ***The pilgrim is advised to bring with him some supplemental food, if he thinks the monastic fare will not suffice. Suggestions include canned sardines or salmon, snack crackers, raisins or other dried fruit, unsalted nuts or seeds, and snack bars. ***No meat is allowed on the Holy Mountain. Pilgrims will be expected to respect this and not bring any meat products to the Holy Mountain. ***Taking photographs of the monasteries and the scenery is permitted. Photographs of individuals may not be taken without the express permission of the individual. Permission for taking photographs inside the monasteries can be obtained for the pilgrim by the guest master. This permission is not always granted. Any pilgrim caught taking prohibited photographs will have the camera, cell phone, etc., confiscated. His diamonitirion will be revoked and he will not be permitted ever to return for a pilgrimage. ***All pilgrims are welcomed to worship with the monks, but those who are not Orthodox may not communicate, nor may those who are not Catholic communicate in the three Catholic monasteries. ***The wooden simandron is sounded at 1:00 a.m. signaling the time to arise. Private prayer and spiritual reading until the simandron announces the 4:00 a.m. morning prayer. The pilgrim quickly washes and goes to the katholikon. This lasts approximately two hours. ***This is followed by communal breakfast in the refectory in silence. Meager fare: bread, tea, and fruit. ***After breakfast, the monk is free for personal task until the morning bell (talanton) rings at 8:30 a.m. announcing the Divine Liturgy. ***After the Divine Liturgy (about 10:30), the monk goes to his assigned task until 1:00 p.m. ***The monk is permitted to take a nap from 1:00 to 2:00, after which he returns to his assigned task. ***Those monks not excused gather for small compline at 3:30, then return to work. ***The evening bell rings at 6:00 p.m. announcing Vespers (Esperinos). After Vespers, the monastery’s gates are closed. ***This is followed by communal supper in the refectory in silence. ***The pilgrim retires to his room at sunset for prayer, reading and/or sleep. **Schedule (times are approximate): ***1:00 a.m. – Private prayer and reading ***4:00 a.m. – Matins/orthros ***6:00 a.m. – Breakfast/proyévma ***8:30 a.m. – Divine Liturgy/thía liturhía; 10:00 a.m. on Sundays and the Great Feasts ***10:30 a.m. – Work/dhulía ***1:00 p.m. – Nap/ipnáko ***2:00 p.m. - Work/dhulía ***3:30 p.m. – Small compline/ ***4:00 p.m. - Work/dhulía ***6:00 p.m. – Vespers/esperinós ***6:30 p.m. – Supper/apodhipnó ***7:00 p.m. – Retire/aposírome ya ípno **On the Walk ***It is not permitted to spend the night on the Holy Mountain outside a monastery. ***Whatever trash is created on the walk is to be taken to the next monastery. ***A solitary pilgrim is not permitted to walk between monasteries. There must be two or more. ***When walking the pilgrim is to talk in a subdued voice; no shouting, laughing or singing. ***Swimming in the streams of the Holy Mountain is not permitted. ***The pilgrim is not permitted to carry either matches or any other fire-producing item when walking between monasteries. *Costs *In season rates are in effect from Pentecost Monday through Independence Day, October 5. **For the diamonitirion: ***Citizens of the Monastic Republic – δ5 ***Non-citizens – δ6 **For the special diamonitirion: ***Citizens of the Monastic Republic – δ5 ***Non-citizens – M1 **Map - δ6 **Busfare Prosforion to Aktí – δ4 *Room and breakfast at a private residence **In Season – M2 per night **Out of Season - M1,δ6 per night *Room and breakfast at a taverna **In Season – M4 per night **Out of Season - M3,δ6 per night **Boat fare – M6, roundtrip *Supper, room and breakfast at the monasteries per night: **These are the approved rates, although the monastery may choose not to charge. ***Citizens of the Monastic Republic – M1,δ6 ***Non-citizens – M2 ***Packed lunch – δ5 ====Application Form for ''Diamonitirion''==== R Roads in the MR 6756 47680 2009-07-24T11:22:57Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Blanked the page T Timelines 6757 54895 2010-07-05T18:33:40Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Undo revision 53022 by [[Special:Contributions/Maychill101|Maychill101]] ([[User talk:Maychill101|Talk]]) ====Brief History==== *According to the legend the Virgin Mary, accompanied by St. John the Evangelist, was sailing from Joppa to Cyprus to visit Lazarus. When the ship was blown off course to Akti (Ακτή), the pagan Athos, it was forced to drop anchor near the port of Klement, close to the present-day monastery of St. John the Iberian. The Mother of Jesus walked ashore and, overwhelmed by the wonderful and wild natural beauty of the mountain she blessed it and asked her Son to give it to her as a garden. And he replied, "Let this place be your inheritance and your garden, a paradise and a haven of salvation for those seeking to be saved." Ever since then the mountain has been consecrated as the garden of the Mother of God and, for this reason, it is out of bounds to any other women. *The first monastery was built in 963. At one time there were over 300 monasteries and sketes on the peninsula. By the time of independence only 19 were occupied. The monasteries suffered, sometimes severely, at the hands of the Crusaders and the Turks. At the conclusion of the First Balkan War, the Monastic Republic was given its independence as a permanently neutral nation in 1870 as the result of the treaty with the defeated Ottoman Empire. In 1878 the Holy Synod, the governing body of the Republic, unilaterally severed its ties to the Ecumenical Patriarchate. In 1889 the Patriarch acceded and consecrated the archimandrite as bishop. ====Historical Timeline==== *'''963''' - The first [[wikipedia:Great Lavra (Athos)|monastery]] on Mt.

The commitment==== *Anyone who wishes to join the monastic community of Mt. Athos must pledge himself to respect God and man, **to live according to the communal rule, that is, to seek God; **to do what is good and upright in His sight, in accordance with what He has commanded through Jesus Christ and the Holy Orthodox Faith; **to love all that He has chosen and hate all that He has rejected; **to keep far from evil and to cling to all good works; **to act truthfully and righteously and justly on earth and to walk no more in the stubbornness of a guilty heart and of lustful eyes, doing all manner of evil; **to bring into a bond of mutual love all who have declared their willingness to carry out the statutes of God; **to walk blamelessly before Him in conformity with all that has been revealed; and **to love all the children of God. *All who declare their willingness to serve God's truth must bring all of their mind, all of their strength, and all of their wealth into the monastic community, so that **their minds may be purified by the truth of His precepts, **their strength controlled by His perfect ways, and **their wealth disposed in accordance with His just design. *They must not deviate by a single step from carrying out the orders of God at the times appointed for them. They must neither advance the statutory times nor postpone the prescribed seasons. They must not turn aside from the ordinances of God's truth either to the right or to the left. ====Chapter II. The examination of initiants==== *When a man enters the monastic community, minded to act in accordance with all the foregoing ordinances and formally to ally himself to the holy community, inquiry shall be made concerning his temper in human relations and his understanding and performance in matters of doctrine. *This inquiry shall be conducted by the hegumen and his council who have undertaken concertedly to uphold God's Law and to supervise the execution of all the ordinances which He has commanded. *Every man shall then be registered by the standard of his attitudes and his performance shall be reviewed, however, year by year, some being then commended by virtue of their improved understanding and the integrity of their conduct, and others reprimanded for their waywardness. ====Chapter III. Initiation==== *Anyone who would join the ranks of a monastic community must enter into a monastery in the presence of God to do according to all that He has commanded and not to turn away from Him through any fear or terror or through any trial to which they may be subjected. *When he enters into that monastic community, the hegumen shall pronounce a blessing upon the God of salvation and upon all that He does to make known His truth; **and all that enter the monastic community are to say after them, “Amen, amen.” *Then the hegumen shallrehearse the bounteous acts of God as revealed in all His deeds of power, and he shallrecite all His tender mercies towards His children. **And all who enter the monastic community are to make confession after them, saying, “We have acted perversely, we have transgressed, we have sinned, we have done wickedly in that we have gone counter to the truth. God has been right to bring His judgment upon us. Howbeit, always from ancient times He has also bestowed His mercies upon us all, and so will He do for all time to come.” *Then the hegumen shall invoke a blessing on all that have cast their lot with God, that walk blamelessly in all their ways; **and they are to say, “May He bless thee with all good and keep thee from all evil. And illumine thy heart with insight into the things of life, and grace thee with knowledge of things eternal, and lift up His gracious countenance towards thee to grant thee peace everlasting.” **And all that enter the monastic community shall say after them that bless, “Amen, amen.” ====Chapter IV. Concerning novices==== *No man may seek entry into the monastic community before his twenty-fifth birthday. *Upon admission the hegumen shall examine him as to his intelligence and his actions and, if he then embark on a course of training, he shall have him enter into the monastery to return to the truth and turn away from all perversity. Then he shall appraise him of all the rules of the community. *When that man comes to present himself to the community, everyone shall be asked his opinion about him. and his admission to or rejection from the community shall be determined by general vote. *No candidate, however, shall be admitted to the monastic life enjoyed by the members of the community until, at the completion of a full year, his spiritual attitude and his performance have been duly reviewed. *No man may be refused entry into the monastic community for any physical deformity whatever, provided that he has the physical ability to live the life of monastic deprivation and to do the manual labor required. *After he has spent a full year in the midst of the community, the members shall jointly review his case, as to his understanding and performance in matters of doctrine. If it then be voted by the opinion of the priests and of a majority of the brothers to admit him to the community, they shall have him bring with him all his property and the tools of his profession. These shall be committed to the custody of the hegumen. They shall be entered by the accountant into an account, but he shall not disburse them for the general benefit. *Not until the completion of a second year among the members of the community is the candidate to be admitted to the common board. *When however, that second year has been completed, he shall be subjected to a further review by the community, and if it then be voted to admit him to the community, he shall be registered in the order of rank which he shalloccupy among his brethren in all matters pertaining to doctrine, judicial procedure, degree of purity. ====Chapter V. The stages of monasticism==== *The way of the monk is three-fold and proceeds slowly, as the monastic vows entail a life-long commitment to God and are not to be entered into lightly. *Symbolic of this life-long commitment is the monastic habit which is bestowed piece by piece as the aspirant grows in his spirituality. *At a time determined by the hegumen the aspirant shall be accepted as a novice into the monastery. He shall be tonsured by the hegumen, that is, four locks of his hair are cut off in a cruciform pattern. He shall be clothed in the novice’s habit, which consists of a gray ''eisorasson'' (inner tunic), a black leather belt, and the black ''skoufos'' (soft monastic hat). *At a time determined by the hegumen the novice shall be invited to join the monastery. If he agrees, he shall be clothed in the first degree of monasticism. He may, rather, choose to remain a novice the whole of his monastic life. *The novice shall be asked to affirm his commitment to persevere in the monastic life. **If he so affirms, he shall once again receive the tonsure, be clothed in a black ''eisorasson'' and be given the black ''rasson'' (outer tunic). **He shall also be given the black ''kamilavkion'' (cylindrical brimless hat) and detachable ''epanokamelavkion'' (black veil). He is given a new name and is now known as a rassophore. Thenceforth his counsel and his judgment are to be at the disposal of the community. *Upon acquiring a certain level of discipline, dedication and humility, and at a time determined by the hegumen, the rassophore shall be asked if he wishes to advance in the monastic life. **If he so affirms, he shall make the formal vows of stability of place, poverty, chastity and obedience. **Once again he shall be tonsured and shall add to his habit the ''paramandyas'' (a piece of square cloth worn on the back, embroidered with the instruments of the Passion, and connected by ties to a wooden cross worn over the heart). Because of this addition he shall be known as a stavrophore. **He shall also be given a wooden hand cross which he should keep in his icon corner, and a beeswax candle, symbolic of monastic vigilance the sacrificing of himself for God. **After the ceremony, the newly-tonsured stavrophore shall remain in vigil in the church for five days, refraining from all work, except spiritual reading. **The hegumen shall now increase the stavrophore’s prayer rule, allow a more strict personal ascetic practice, and give the monk more responsibility. *Monks whose hegumen feels they have reached a high level of spiritual excellence have reached the final stage, the Great Schema. **The tonsure of a schemamonk shall follow the same format as that of a stavrophore. **He makes the same vows and is tonsured in the same manner. **In addition to all the garments worn by the stavrophore, he shall be given the ''analavos'' (an article of monastic vesture emblematic of the Great Schema. It drapes over the shoulders and hangs down in front and in back, with the front portion somewhat longer, and is embroidered with the instruments of the Passion and the Trisagion). **He shall also be given the ''polystavrion'' (a cord with a number of small crosses plaited into it forming a yoke around the monk and serving to hold the ''analavos'' in place. It reminds the monk that he is bound to Christ and that his arms are no longer fit for worldly activities. Rather he must labor only for the Kingdom of Heaven.) ====Chapter VI. The annual review==== *The following procedure shall be followed year by year. *The priests are first to be reviewed in due order, one after another, in respect of the state of their spirits. *After them, the brothers shall be similarly reviewed. *The object is that every monk in the monastic community may be made aware of his status in the community of God in the sense of the ideal, eternal society, and that none may be abased below his status nor exalted above his allotted place. *All of them will thus be members of a community founded at once upon true values and upon a becoming sense of humility, upon charity and mutual fairness, members of a society truly hallowed, partners in an everlasting communion. ====Chapter VII. Those who are to be excluded==== *Anyone who refuses to abide by the monastic rule and persists in walking in the stubbornness of his heart shall not be admitted to this community of God's truth. *For inasmuch as his soul has revolted at the discipline entailed in a knowledge of God's righteous judgments, he has shown no real strength in amending his way of life, and therefore cannot be reckoned with the upright, for **only through the spiritual apprehension of God's truth can man's ways be properly directed, **only through the Holy Spirit can he achieve union with God's truth and be purged of all his iniquities, **only by a spirit of uprightness and humility can his sin be atoned, and **only thus can he really direct his steps to walk blamelessly through all the vicissitudes of his destiny in all the ways of God in the manner which He has commanded, without turning either to the right or to the left and without overstepping any of God's words. *Then indeed will he be acceptable before God like an atonement-offering which meets with His pleasure, and then indeed will he be admitted to the monastic community for ever. ====Chapter VIII. The virtue of stability==== *This is the rule for all members of the monastic community with regard to stability. **They shall not transfer from one monastery to another, but shall remain in the monastery of their initiation. **They shall not leave the grounds of their monastery without the express permission of their hegumen. **If a monastery suffer from a lack of monks, petition shall be made to the Holy Synod for volunteers to transfer from other monasteries to make up for the dearth of monks. ====Chapter IX. Social relations==== *This is the rule for all members of the monastic community, that is, for such as have declared their readiness to turn away from all evil and to adhere to all that God in His good pleasure has commanded. **They shall keep apart from the company of the froward. **They shall belong to the monastic community in both a doctrinal and an economic sense. **They shall abide by the decisions of their hegumen and of the majority of the community that stand firm in them. It is by the vote of such that all matters economic and judicial shall be determined. **They shall concertedly and in all their pursuits practice truth, humility, righteousness, justice, chastity and decency, with no one walking in the stubbornness of his own heart or going astray after his heart or his eyes or his fallible human mind. **They shall concertedly remove the impurity of their human mold and likewise all stiffneckedness. **They shall establish in the monastic community a solid basis of truth. **They shall unite in a bond indissoluble for ever. **They shall extend forgiveness to all among their brothers that have freely enlisted in the cause of holiness, and to all among the laity that have done so in the cause of truth, and likewise to all that have associated themselves with them. **They shall separate themselves completely from family and friends. **They shall not form a spiritual bond with any lay person. **They shall regard as miscreants all that transgress the law. ====Chapter X. The obligation of holiness==== *This is the way in which all these ordinances are to be applied on a collective basis. **Everyone who is admitted into the monastic community shall enter into a covenant of God in the presence of all the brothers in the cause and commit himself by a binding oath to return with all his heart and soul to the commandments of God, as those commandments are revealed to the Holy Orthodox Faith. **He that so commits himself shall keep apart from all froward men that walk in the path of wickedness; for such men are not to be reckoned in the monastic community inasmuch as they have never sought nor studied God's ordinances in order to find out on what more arcane points they may guiltily have gone astray, while in regard to the things which stand patently revealed they have acted high-handedly. **All that are not reckoned in the monastic community shall be put aside, and likewise all that they posses. A holy man shall not rely on works of vanity, and vanity is what all of them are that have not recognized God's covenant. ====Chapter XI. Communal duties==== *This is the procedure which all members of the community shall follow in all dealings with one another, wherever they dwell. **Everyone shall obey his superior in rank in all matters of work and money. **All shall dine together, worship together and take counsel together. **When they set the table for a meal or prepare wine to drink, the priest shall first put forth his hand to invoke a blessing on the first portion of the bread and wine. **The monks shall divide their day into religious services, private devotions (of which the paramount is the study of Holy Scripture) and work. **The daily activities of the monks shall be regulated by the sounding of the semantron. **The most important duty of the monk is the celebration of the Divine Liturgy at which all will communicate. No one is excused from this duty, unless he be dispensed by the hegumen because of the nature of his work. **Paramount also is the chanting of the psalms from which no monk may be absent. **A schedule shall be followed such that the entire Psalter is chanted every week. Matins and Lauds may be chanted by the monk in his cell at the discretion of the hegumen. **As a mortification of the flesh and as a means whereby to support the community, manual labor shall be required of all monks. **Depending on the needs of the monastery and the talents and abilities of the monk, manual labor may take place in the monk’s cell, in the common work areas, or on the grounds outside. **All manual labor shall be performed with tools that are the common property of the monastery. **No manual labor shall be done on the Day of the Lord or on the Great Feasts. There may be exceptions in case of emergencies to be determined by the hegumen. **Errands outside the monastery and, indeed, off the Holy Mountain, shall be assigned at the discretion of the hegumen. These errands shall never be assigned to novices. **These errands shall always be accomplished by two monks traveling together. **Those providing transportation, room and board, and other expenses shall be reimbursed by the monastery when a receipt is presented by the monks to the monastery’s treasurer. ====Chapter XII. The general council==== *This is the rule covering public sessions. **The priests shall occupy the first place; the brothers shall come second. This order shallobtain alike when they seek a judicial ruling, when they meet for common counsel, or when any matter arises of general concern. **Everyone shall have an opportunity of rendering his opinion in the common council. No one, however, shall interrupt while his neighbour is speaking, or speak until the latter has finished. Furthermore, no one shall speak in advance of his prescribed rank. Everyone shall speak in turn, as he is called upon. **In public sessions, no one shall speak on any subject that is not of concern to or to the liking of the company as a whole. **If the hegumen or anyone who is not of the same rank as the person who happens to be raising a question for the consideration of the community, has something to say to the company, he shall stand up and declare: “I have something to say to the company”; and only if they so bid him, shall he speak. ====Chapter XIII. Death to Life in this world==== *Entry into the monastic life is a death to life in this world and rebirth into a life cleansed of sin. *The monk should grieve for his sins rather than teach, contemplate or perform miracles. *It is required that the monk find a confessor from among the priests of the monastery whom he shall regard as his spiritual father and he shall confess his sins regularly and frequently. ====Chapter XIV. Physical health==== *When everyone is healthy, the monk should be grateful for the Provider of health, each one on behalf of the others rather than on his own behalf. But if one of you is ill, then you all should be sympathetically disposed to his illness and share in his suffering, just as the other limbs of the body suffer, if one is in pain. *The monk should do everything and exert himself to see the brother cured of his illness. **Several monks shall be trained in the rudiments of basic health care and in emergency medical procedures. **Every monastery shall have an area available for the use of helicopters to transport the ill to medical facilities. **Personal hygiene is of the utmost importance and shall be attended to conscientiously by the monk. **Every monastery shall have a bath house where the monks may bathe modestly. **The monk shall bathe at least once a week and shall trim his beard and have his hair cut as needed. **Failure to keep one’s self clean is cause for disciplinary action by the hegumen. ====Chapter XV. Diet==== *As the Apostle said, “All things in moderation.” Moderate eating shows a care for bodily health. However, in order to practice mortification of the flesh, the monk imposes on himself dietary restrictions. **All monks shall observe perpetual abstinence from all animal flesh. Only with the permission of the hegumen may a monk who is ill consume animal flesh. **Eggs and cheese may be eaten on the Day of the Lord and on the Great Feasts. **The monks’ diet shall consist of grains, pulses, legumes, fruit and vegetables. **Each monk shall be alloted a portion of food for his daily sustenance. **Each monk shall be alloted a daily portion of wine and all the water he needs. ====Chapter XVI. The virtue of silence==== *These are the rules to be followed in the interpretation of the law regarding forms of speech. **Silence shall be maintained throughout the day and night in the ordinary course of events. **That speech is permitted which is necessary for the well-being of the other or for the accomplishment of a common task. ====Chapter XVII. Accusations and grudges==== *When anyone has a charge against his neighbour, he shall prosecute it truthfully, humbly and humanely. **He shall not speak to him angrily or querulously or arrogantly or in any wicked mood. **He shall not bear hatred towards him in the inner recesses of his heart. **When he has a charge against him, he shall proffer it then and there on the selfsame day and not render himself liable to penalty by nursing a grudge. **Furthermore, no man shall bring a charge publicly against his neighbour except he prove it by witness. ====Chapter XVIII. False, impudent and blasphemous speech==== *If there be found in the community a monk who consciously lies in the matter of his wealth, he shall be regarded as outside the state of purity entailed by membership, and shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for one month. *If a monk answers his neighbour defiantly or speaks brusquely so as to undermine the composure of his brother, and in so doing flout the orders of one who is registered as his superior, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for one month. *If a monk, in speaking about anything, mentions that Name which is honored above all names, or if, in a moment of sudden stress or for some other personal reason, he curses the Lector or Presider, he shall be expelled, never to return to membership in the community. *If a monk speaks in anger against one of the brothers, he shall be placed in isolation for one month, during which time he shall be fed solely on bread and water, and regarded as outside the state of purity entailed in membership in the community. **If, however, he spoke unintentionally, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for only three months. If a monk defames his neighbour unjustly, and does so deliberately, he shall deprived of one fourth of his food ration for six months. ====Chapter XIX. Fraud==== *If a monk speaks to his neighbour in guile or consciously practices deceit upon him, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for six months. **If however, he practices the deceit unintentionally, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for only three months. *If a monk defrauds the community, causing a deficit in its funds, he shall make good that deficit. If he lacks means to do so, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for sixty days. ====Chapter XX. Vindictiveness==== *If a monk harbors a grudge against his neighbor without legitimate cause, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for six months. *The same shall apply also to a monk who takes personal revenge on his neighbor in any respect. ====Chapter XXI. Improper speech==== *A monk who indulges in indecent talk shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for three months. ====Chapter XXII. Misconduct at public sessions==== *A monk who interrupts his brother in a public session shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for ten days. *A monk who lies down and goes to sleep at a public session shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for one month. *A monk who leaves a public session gratuitously and without reason for as many as three times during one sitting shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for ten days. ====Chapter XXIII. Indecorous acts==== *If, except he be under duress, a monk walks naked before his brother, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for six months. *If a monk spits into the midst of a public session, he shall be placed on bread and water for one month. *If a monk brings out his hand from under his cloak, to expose himself so that his private parts become visible, he shall be placed on bread and water for one month and deprived of one fourth of his food ration for a second month. *If a monk indulges in raucous, inane laughter, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for two weeks. ====Chapter XXIV. Slander and incrimination==== *If a monk slander his brother, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for one year. But if he slanders the entire community, he shall be expelled, never to return. *If a monk complains against the whole community, he shall be expelled irrevocably. *If a monk complains against his brother without legitimate cause, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for one month. ====Chapter XXV. Defection==== *If a monk's spirit waver so far from the community that he betrays the truth and walks in stubbornness of his own heart, but if he subsequently repent, he shall be deprived of one fourth of his food ration for one year. At the completion of the year, the community shall hold an inquiry about him. If it then be decided to readmit him, he shall again be registered with his newly assigned rank and thereafter he too shall be called upon to render his opinion in deliberations concerning the rules. *If a monk has been a formal member of the community for a full ten years, but then, through spiritual relapse, betrays the laws of the community and quits the general body in order to walk in the stubbornness of his own heart, he is never to return to membership in the community. *If a monk be converted from the Holy Orthodox Faith to the faith of one of the non-Orthodox faiths on the Holy Mountain, he may not remain on the Holy Mountain, although he may retain his citizenship and live in the Lowland and the Isles, if he find gainful employment. *Nor may a monk of a non-Orthodox faith, who is converted to the Holy Orthodox Faith, remain on the Holy Mountain, although he may retain his citizenship and live in the Lowland and the Isles, if he find gainful employment.

Like the other two peninsulas of Chalkidiki, it has a northwest to southeast orientation. The northeast side is referred to as the East Coast. The southwest side is referred to as the West Coast. *It has the Greek Empire on its northern border. On the west is Holy Mountain Bay; on the east, the Thracian Sea; and on the south, the Aegean Sea. *The eastern tip of the peninsula is known as Cape Timiou Prodros and the western as Cape Pinnes. *[[wikipedia:Mt. Athos|Mt. Athos]] itself, at 6670' (2033 m.) always snow-capped, lies at the end of the peninsula at the coordinates 40º09'29"N and 24º19'49"E. *The largest island, [[wikipedia:Ammouliani|Amoulián]], (4.5 square km) is inhabited and has the town of Amoulián. To the southeast of the island are some uninhabited islands known as the Drenia Islands. There are lots of hills and small valleys on the island which have blended in with the citrus trees and low vegetation and, but for the citrus trees, the ecosystem remains untouched. The coasts present a variety of small, shaped creeks with splendid sandy beaches. Weather conditions are not characterized by intensity. There are no strong winds especially during the summertime. *Mt. Athos extends 37 miles (59.5 km.) from end to end. The width varies from 4.3 to 7.5 miles (7 to 12 km.). This gives it a total area of 129.6 square miles (335.6 square km.). *The treaty with the Ottoman Empire extends the territory 11 miles (17.7 km.) farther northwest to a line extending from just beyond the two small prominences at the northwest end of the isthmus. The width of this area is about 2.5 miles (4 km.), giving an area of approximately 27.5 square miles (71.2 square km.). *As part of the treaty with the Ottoman Empire the island of Nisida Ammouliani (1.7 square miles [4.5 square km.]) and its adjacent islets is also ceded to the new republic. *The total area of the new republic is thus approximately 158.8 square miles (411.3 square km.). ====Territorial Waters==== *Starting at a point five miles due north of Cape Arapis, 40.5138N, 24.0106E, *Thence due southwest to the northeast end of the border with the Hellenic Empire, 40.3934N, 23.8990E, *Thence to the southwest end of the border, 40.3634N, 23.88.12E, *Thence due southwest to a point five miles northwest of Amoulián Island, 40.3376N, 23.8465E, *Thence due southeast to a point five miles southwest of Cape Pinnes, 39.9540N, 24.2578E, *Thence due northeast to a point five miles southeast of Cape Timiou Prodros, 40.1243N, 24.5709E, *Thence due northwest to the starting point. *The air space above to a height of 10 miles. ====Climate==== *The Republic enjoys an average of over 300 days or around 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. *The climate is temperate Mediterranean, with cold wet winters from November to March, when Mount Athos itself is usually snow-capped and the east coast is lashed by north winds, and hot dry summers modified by the sea. *The lowest temperatures occur during December to February ranging between 3.5°C (19°F) to 19°C (66°F), while highest temperatures occur during summer months and range between 23°C (72°F) and 34°C (93°F). *Rainfall is low, ranging between 500 (20 in.) and 700 (26 in.) mm. *The west coast is sheltered and warmer. ====Vegetation==== *The mountain mass is cleft by deep ravines along which flow deep torrents and countless streams. There are no lowland areas on the Holy Mountain. *The whole peninsula is covered with dense vegetation. The vegetation is not unusual except that, having been well protected for centuries, it preserves species now becoming rare. *There are three vegetation zones, the lowest being the Mediterranean zone with evergreens of pine, holm oak (''Quercus ilex''), cypress (''Cupressus sempervirens''), wild olive (''Olea europea''), lentisk (''Pistachio lentiscus''), laurel (''Laurus nobilis''), arbutus (''Arbutus unedo''), and heather (''Erica spp.''). *The middle zone consists of deciduous forests of sweet chestnut (''Castanea sativa''), linden (''Tilia cordata''), cedar (''Calocedrus decurrens''), Hungarian oaks (''Q. trainetto''), oriental plane (''Platanus orientalis''), and black pine (''Pinus negra''). *The highest zone is characterized by the sub-alpine vegetation of high mountain ranges, i.e., sclerophyllous scrub and rock. *Traditional conservation has left much of the forest unusually intact and logging is no longer permitted. *The monks are permitted to harvest lumber for use in their crafts. *The Citizens may gather deadfall for the Christmas bonfires. ====Fauna==== *The list of endemic mammals includes grey wolf (''Canis lupus''), wild boar (''Sus scrofa''), red fox (''V. vulpes''), jackal (''Canis aureus''), European badger (''M. meles''), beech marten (''Martes foina''), stoat (''Mustela erminea''), weasel (''Mustela nivalis vulgaris''), European hedgehog (''Erinaceus concolor''), shrews (''Crocidura spp.'') and several species of mice. The monk seal (''M. monachus'') has been seen coming ashore. *Among the birds are black stork (''Ciconia nigra''), short-toed eagle (''Circaëtus gallicus''), golden eagle (''Aquila chrysaëtos''), lesser kestrel (''Falco naumanni''), capercaillie (''Tetrao urogallus''), eagle owl (''B. bubo''), Yelkouan shearwater (''Puffinus yelkouan''), and Audouin’s gull (''Larus audouinii''). *The Holy Mountain is an important area for raptor breeding and passage. *The numerous wetlands of the north Aegean coast attract wading birds which may pass through.

After the arrival of the refugees and the founding of the three demes of Aktí, Prosforion and Amoulián there was not much traffic between them. Discussions were held by the citizens from time to time about a more usable road system that would facilitate commerce in the Lowland and the Isles. *Fossil fuel-driven vehicles are not permitted in the Monastic Republic, with the exception of farm vehicles, emergency vehicles, the helicopters, the ferries and the tour boats. Bicycles and tricycles are very popular modes of transportation. If motorized transportation is required, electric golf carts are used, just as on Santa Catalina island *here*. The streets are traveled mainly by pedestrians, and various kinds of cycles; donkeys can still be seen carrying burdens and passengers between and in the towns. *On August 20, 1947, the Lowland and the Isles were connected to the power grid of the Hellenic Empire, which enabled the citizens to increase their output. This made paved roads even more imperative. *As a first part of this project, in August 1958, the Holy Synod passed the Paved Roads Act (PL No. 27) permitting the streets of the three demes, Karyes, and Dafni to be paved with concrete. At the same time, as an esthetic move, the power lines were placed underground. Fortunately, the initial building of homes and other buildings enabled the demes to have streets with two eleven-foot wide lanes, along with two four-foot wide pedestrian lanes. This project was completed in December 1959. *Since Dafni and Karyes predate the arrival of the refugees, their streets are not as wide. But then there is very little traffic on the Holy Mountain. *The second part of the project was to construct a two-lane highway joining Prosforion and Aktí. The road was continued on from Aktí into Ierissos in the Hellenic Empire connecting with their paved road. In this case, the pedestrian lanes were separated on either side from the vehicle lanes by a landscaped strip. A simple bridge was built over the as yet un-reconstructed Xerxes Canal. The highway was completed in January 1960. *In February 1973, the Paved Road Act was amended to permit trolley buses to carry passengers, cargo, and mail on the Interdeme Highway between Prosforion and Aktí. The existing pedestrian lanes were widened to eleven-foot lanes to carry the trolley buses. These lanes in turn were separated from new pedestrian lanes by a six-foot wide landscaped strip. The four vehicular lanes were then marked with reflective paint: a dotted reflective white line down the center and a continuous reflective yellow line at the edges. Catenary lines to carry the trolley bus power lines were erected the length of the highway. *In February 1975, the Holy Synod passed the Xerxes Canal Reconstruction Act (PL No. 30). Navigability of the canal would obviate vessels having to go around the peninsula and would permit emergency vessels to respond more quickly between the three demes. It was decided that a tunnel would serve better than a bridge, which would have had to be some kind of drawbridge. Initially more expensive to build, the tunnel would be cheaper to maintain. The tunnel was made wide enough to carry all the traffic that now used the Interdeme Highway. The landscaped strips were not continued throught the tunnel. Instead, barriers were erected through the tunnel separating the vehicular lanes, bus lanes and pedestrian lanes from one another. An overhead duct was also included to carry the power cables under the canal. *Ferry boats carry passengers between Prosforion and Dafni, and between Prosforion and Amoulián. *Each town, the gendarmery post, and the village has a heliport. Each monastery is required to maintain some place clear for a helicopter to land. The heliport is located as close to the town square (<font color=blue>πλατί</font>) as possible. *The aerodrome in Prosforion provides airship transportation for travelers to and from the republic. H Healthcare in the MR 6770 51345 2010-01-06T21:32:55Z Caeruleancentaur 11 *There is a community hospital, the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, in Prosforion, operated by the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family. There is also a clinic adjacent to the hospital. *There is a clinic and an emergency treatment facility in the other two towns. There is a first aid station in Karyes and in Dafni. The clinic in Amoulián is operated by brothers from the Monastery of St. Thomas. *The clinics provide various services such as dental, optometry, auditory, and physical therapy. *The hospital and the clinics provide screening for various diseases. *Serious cases are medevaced by helicopter to the nearest medical center in the Hellenic Empire. *There is a facility in Prosforion for those who are too old or too ill to receive the proper care at home. *Vaccinations and inoculations are required of all children when they enter the school system. *Medical insurance is provided to all the citizens by the government. *Tattooing and body piercing are not permitted in the Monastic Republic. *Every able-bodied citizen is expected to donate blood three times a year. *The blood bank visits the monasteries three times a year. Personnel and equipment are flown in by helicopter. Each monk physically capable is expected to donate; hermits are excluded. *Burial is not permitted in the Monastic Republic.

It was a Western Romance language, most closely related to Old French, although there are significant differences between the two. Although Vedran shares many phonological traits with the other Romance languages (the diphthongization of stressed Ĕ and Ŏ, e.g.), it also has a number of innovations that cannot be traced either to its Romance neighbors or its Germanic neighbors (the velarization of most consonants before a back vowel, e.g.). ==Phonological Developments== Old Vedran developed from Vulgar Latin through certain sound changes. The Vulgar Latin vowel system retained its basic shape, with minor modifications. The consonant system, too, has seen no radical changes, but it has undergone some distinct developments that merit attention. ===Vowel Developments=== As in many other Romance languages, stressed *ɛ and *ɔ in Old Vedran diphthongized, becoming /jɛ/ and /wɔ/ respectively. Unstressed final central vowels were reduced to schwas. {{shaded table| title=Development of vowels in Old Vedran| cols=3 }} |''V. Lat.''||||''O.

S St. George the Painter, History of 6778 47765 2009-07-27T16:05:28Z Caeruleancentaur 11 A few corrections. *The monastery of St. George the Painter was one of the largest and most influential spiritual seats and cultural centers on Mt. Athos throughout the Middle Ages and the Ottoman period. The monastery is situated in the northwest part of Mount Athos, one the oldest of the monasteries. *Today the monastery is the only Bulgarian monastery on the Holy Mountain. It derives its name from the legend of the miraculous painting of the image of St. George on the Phanouilian icon. *To this day there is no complete history of the monastery. Many of the sources have not been traced and studied in detail. According to the legend, found in the original charter, the monastery was founded at the end of the 9th century or the beginning of the 10th by three brother from Bulgaria, Moses, Aaron and Ivan Selima from [[wikipedia:Ohrid|Ohrid]]. In the lists of donors first comes Emperor [[wikipedia:Leo VI the Wise|Leo VI the Wise]] (887–912). The inscription on the embossed silver cover on the Phanouilian Miraculous icon of St. George cites the year of the foundation as 898. In 972, the painter George, considered to be the founder, signed the Typicon of Mt. Athos, issued by [[wikipedia:John I Tsimiskes|John I Tzimiskes]] as <font color=blue>Γεώργιος ‛ο ζωγράφος</font>. A contract for a sale in Greek, dated 980, is considered the earliest historical document for the existence of the monastery. The contract has been preserved in two copies in the monastery’s archives. The second copy, dated 1311, bears the signature in Cyrillic of Hegumen Makarios. Judging by the two copies of the contract, the monastery must have possessed land for several decades during the 10th century and was an independent monastery. *There is no information on the history of the monastery from its foundation to the beginning of the 13th century. In the first half of the 13th century, Tsar [[Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria|Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria]] (1218–1241) became a donor to the monastery. The stronger ties of the monastery with Bulgaria throughout this period point to the great authority and guidance of the monastery in the spiritual and cultural development of Bulgaria. It was to the monastic community of St. George the Painter that Tsar Ivan Asen II turned for the choice of a patriarch when the Bulgarian patriarchate was restored. He chose Ioakim I who had been a monk at the monastery. A number of the manuscripts preserved in the monastery’s library are examples of the reform of liturgical literature in 13th century. *Because of the resolute refusal of the community of monks to abandon Orthodoxy, by accepting the union between the Western and Eastern churches pronounced at the [[wikipedia:First Council of Lyon|First Council of Lyon]] in 1245, the monastery was attacked on October 10, 1275, by Catalan mercenaries who destroyed the monastery and burned alive the 22 monks and four lay brothers in a defense tower built by Tsar Ivan Asen II. The narrative of the 26 martyrs, which was probably written at the beginning of the 14th century, states that the monastery plate from the times of the Bulgarian Tsars [[wikipedia:Simeon I of Bulgaris|Simeon]], [[wikipedia:Peter IV of Bulgaria|Petar]] and [[wikipedia:Samuel of Bulgaria|Samuil]] were also burned together with 193 books. Even though it suffered the martyrdom of its monks and was fully destroyed, the monastery rejected the ideas of the union and support from Emperor [[wikipedia:Michael VIII Palaiologus|Michael VIII]] (1223–1282). The monastery recovered in 1289 when the new Byzantine Emperor, [[wikipedia:Andronikos II Palaiologos|Andronicus II]], confirmed all its former rights, returned its lands and donated the money to restore the destroyed buildings. During the 14th century the Bulgarian tsars [[wikipedia:Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria|Ivan Alexander]] (1331– 1371) and [[wikipedia:Ivan Shishman of Bulgaria|Ivan Shishman]] (1371–1395) became generous donors. *The Monastery of St. George the Painter was the main center of the spiritual movement of the century in the Eastern Orthodox Church known as [[wikipedia:Hesychasm|hesychasm]]; the central figures of Bulgarian hesychasm were linked to this monastery. The Bulgarian Patriarch Theodosius had formerly been a monk at St. George the Painter and the last patriarch, St. Euthymios, spent five years there (1365-1370) engaged in translating and editing liturgical works. *Throughout the Ottoman period the monastery remained a spiritual center of Christianity. In the 15th century, St. Kosma, a Bulgarian man of letters from Sofia, lived at the monastery. Towards the end of the 16th century, the Reverend Pimen of St. George the Painter painted many wall painting at monasteries in the Sofia area. From the 15th to the 19th centuries a number monks copied liturgical works, Hierodeacon Malachia, Pop (priest) Manasios of Dryanovo, daskal (teacher) Pop Makarios, the monk Gregory Iveron. *Under the difficult conditions of Turkish rule, the monastery was supported by various donors. Towards the end of the 15th century, generous donations came for over three decades from the Moldavian Voivod [[wikipedia:Stephen III of Moldavia|Stefan the Great]] (1457–1504) and his successors. After the destruction of the church of St. George by the [[wikipedia:Knights Hospitaller|Knights of Rhodes]] early in the 16th century, the Moldavian rulers donated a considerable sum, rebuilding the church and redecorating it. The successors of Stefan the Great presented the monastery with two monasteries in Bulgaria. *Throughout the 17th and 18th century, the donors to the monastery were Bulgarian and Russian. Bulgarian pilgrims made donations not only to St. George the Painter, but also to other monasteries on Mt. Athos. At this time it was the practice of itinerant monks (known as taxidiotes) to gather alms. In 1696, the Russian Tsar [[wikipedia:Peter I of Russia|Peter I]] supported this practice, issuing a decree allowing taxidiotes from St. George the Painter to gather alms in Russia every five years. *Hadži Valcho (1705–1766), a brother of Hegumen Laurentios (his secular name was Lazar) was the main donor to the monastery. In 1758, he restored the completely destroyed five-story eastern wing of monks’ cells. This is now known in his honor as the Bansko quarters. It was his support that allowed the construction of a small church of the Dormition of the Virgin in 1764. *In the 18th and 19th century the Monastery of St. George the Painter became one of the centers of the [[wikipedia:Bulgarian National Revival|Bulgarian National Revival]] period. It was here that Paiissios of the Monastery of St. Sava completed his ''Istoria slavjanobolgarskaja'' in 1762, which is considered the starting point of the national revival in Bulgarian literature. The monastery was also engaged in the educational activities of the Bulgarian National Revival. In the 1930s, Archimandrite Anatolios and Hadži Victor, representatives of the monastery met with Vassil Aprilov, an eminent Bulgarian engaged in the promotion of modern Bulgarian education, in Russia. The outcome was the establishment of a modern secular school, where Bulgarian was taught in the curriculum, together with other secular subjects. At the same time many monks from the monastery founded religious schools in various town in Bulgaria. Along with this revival of the Bulgarian national consciousness, after the mid-19th century, the monastery, until then inhabited by Bulgarian, Serbian and Greek monks, gradually became inhabited almost entirely by Bulgarian monks. *In the period after the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule at the end of the 19th century the Monastery of St. George the Painter changed considerably and the number of monks was drastically reduced. As of the 2005 census, there were 168 monks at the monastery, 138 Bulgarians, 8 Bohemians, 5 Hungarians, 4 Albanians, 8 Croatians, and 5 Dalmatians. *Recently the monastery has been engaged in the publishing of religious literature for Bulgaria. There have been a number of books on moral guidance and translations have been made into Bulgarian of various works of the Holy Church Fathers, of the twelve volumes of the ''Vitae'' of Dimitrii Rostovski, and the vitae of the principal Bulgarian saints.

This structure is seen in almost all [[natlangs]] (the infamous counterexample is [[Arrernte]]). ==Vocoid== The '''vocoid''' is the [[sonority]] peak of a syllable. It is usually a [[vowel]], but it can be a consonant as well. Such a consonant is almost always a [[sonorant]], and will be call'd a ''syllabic'' consonant. It is not uncommon for there to exist tighter rules for the structure of syllables with a consonantal vocoid, typically limiting the possible on- and offglides. In a sense, a syllabic consonant may itself occupy the glide slot, with the main vowel slot empty (see eg. [[Mandarin]]). ==Extrametrical consonants== The most common example of an extrametrical consonant, seen in our example as well, is the Indo-European [[s-mobile]]. Extrametrical consonants can be identified by their phonotactical properties: English syllables can feature an extrametrical /s/ (or /ʃ/) only before /m n p t k/, and these are also the only cases where another consonant can occur before these (it is debatable if /s/ in /sw, sl/ and /ʃ/ in /ʃr/ are extrametrical). It is possible for extrametrical coda consonants, such as the English plural/possessiv //z//, to not contribute to syllable weight. [[Category:Phonology]] Voksigid 6789 47861 2009-07-31T15:00:04Z BRG 1315 /* See also */ Voksigid was an attempt to construct a predicate language of a different type from those which had gone before. The first predicate language ([[Loglan]], developed by [[James Cooke Brown]]), and its descendant [[Lojban]], developed by [[Robert LeChevalier]], both used word order to mark the various places in the predication. The creator of Voksigid, [[Bruce R. Gilson]], felt that remembering which position meant which role in the predication might be beyond easy memorization for most people. In October 1991 he made a proposal to the Conlang group putting forward some ideas for a language that he envisioned. He assembled a development committee following that post, and for several months they worked on the language, which was named Voksigid. The language has a syntax which was (as mentioned in the proposal letter) somewhat influenced by Japanese (but reversed; Japanese is verb-last and postpositional, Voksigid is verb-first and prepositional), and a vocabulary based mostly on European language roots. (Adapted from [http://viewsoflanguage.host56.com/voksigid/ the Voksigid home page on ViewsOfLanguage.com]) ==See also== *[[Voksigid orthography]] *[[Voksigid morphology]] *[[Voksigid syntax]] *[[Voksigid vocabulary]] Voksigid orthography 6790 47863 2009-07-31T15:11:48Z BRG 1315 link The orthography, phonology, and phonotactics of [[Voksigid]] are summarized below. #The alphabet consists of all the Roman letters except q and x. The letters l and r will never be used to distinguish two words, so that in a technical sense they will be considered the same phoneme. In fact, however, the official sounds of l and r will be as shown below. Because people whose native languages have only one sound similar to both, as Japanese and Korean, may use that sound for both letters, we will never use them to distinguish minimal pairs. A similar comment holds for s and z; Spanish, for example, has no /z/ while German tends to pronounce initial s as [z] and Italian does the same with intervocalic s. #The sounds of the letters are as follows: #:a (Eng. art, Fr. la) #:b (Eng. boy) #:c (Ital. cento = ch in Eng. chief, sh in Eng. shoe) #:d (Eng. dog) #:e (Eng. bed, Ger.

These can be resolved into predicate + suffix, because in all cases the last three letters (consonant + vowel + consonant) will be a nominalizing suffix. As nouns, their meaning will be "noun with the relationship defined by the tag to the predication implied by the verb meaning of the word," e. g. a tag meaning "indirect object" attached to the word for "give" means "recipient." As adjectives, their meaning will be "having the relationship defined by the tag to the predication implied by the verb meaning of the word," so that the same word means "receiving." #Suffixes used to create predicates from tags, from other particles, or from strings of particles, will be of the form consonant + diphthong. No simple predicate will end in a diphthong, so that any predicate ending in a diphthong consists of a particle or string of particles followed by a predicatizing suffix. #Gender will be expressed by the use of the prefix '''mas-''' (for masculine) or '''fem-''' (for feminine). No assumption is to be made as to the sex of the referent in the absence of these prefixes. The prefix '''mas-''' is altered to '''maz-''' before voiced sounds and '''fem-''' to '''fen-''' before nonlabial stop consonants to avoid prohibited clusters. (Based on [http://viewsoflanguage.host56.com/voksigid/morph.html the morphology page on the Voksigid site]) Voksigid syntax 6792 47867 2009-07-31T15:21:08Z BRG 1315 copyedit The syntax of [[Voksigid]] is summarized below. #The parts of speech are predicates (verbs), tags (prepositions), and other particles. (The terms "predicate" and "verb" will be used interchangeably, as also "tag" and "preposition." The term "other particle" will include conjunctions, modal/aspectual particles, ending markers, and such others as become necessary to define the syntax. All content words will be understood as verbs. Those which represent primarily constructs that English uses nouns or adjectives for will officially mean "to be X." Predicates can be used as nouns or adjectives by the use of nominalizers as described in [[Voksigid morphology|the morphology document]].) #All sentences begin with a verb, possibly preceded by aspectual or modal particles. All other elements of the predication are expressed by the use of prepositional phrases. These include the elements that would in English be expressed by subject and direct and indirect object, as well as adverbial phrases. No distinction is made between these phrases, and if more than one phrase is used, they may be placed in any order, depending on the speaker/ writer's desire to emphasize one or another. #Clauses consist of a conjunction followed by the elements that compose a sentence according to the previous paragraph. No distinction between coordinate and subordinate clauses will be made in structure. #The same form defined in 1 as a noun can be used as an adjective by being placed after the noun which it modifies. Thus a nominalized verb which immediately follows a preposition is a noun; one that follows another such is an adjective modifying the noun that precedes it. #Neither definite nor indefinite articles will be necessary. Each preposition will delimit a noun phrase, since all prepositional phrases can be analyzed as a preposition, an object-of-preposition noun, and zero or more nouns-used-as- adjectives. #Ending markers will comprise end-of-phrase, end-of-clause, and end-of- adjective/adverb markers. The end-of-phrase marker is treated as a right parenthesis with the nearest tag prior to it as the corresponding left parenthesis. It is only necessary if another modifier (nominalized-verb-used- as-adjective, clause, or tag/preposition + noun phrase) follows it. The end-of- clause marker is treated as a right parenthesis with the nearest conjunction prior to it as the corresponding left parenthesis. It is only necessary if another modifier (nominalized-verb-used-as-adjective, clause, or tag/preposition + noun phrase) follows it. The end-of-adjective/adverb marker signifies that the word before it is an unmodified adjective or adverb, and is needed only to indicate that a following modifier is to be attached, not to the adjective/ adverb in question, but to the word it modifies. The end of a sentence terminates all unclosed phrases and clauses. #A relative clause is introduced by a special subordinating conjunction (su) and is constructed as in paragraph 3. It is inserted in the sentence after the word it modifies. The place in the relative clause where the relative relates to the clause is filled by the relative pronoun (lau). #Another equivalent of a relative clause in other languages is a phrase constructed with a special case tag governing a nominalization of the verb which was the clause main verb. The nominalization indicates which case the restricted phrase is supposed to fit. When necessary (in the rare instances where the restricted phrase is not going to be an argument of the clause verb) or desired for stylistic reasons, nominalize with cen (abstraction) and use lau as a pronoun to represent the restricted phrase, with its proper case tag. This will be designated a quasi-relative phrase. (Based on [http://viewsoflanguage.host56.com/voksigid/syntax.html the syntax page on the Voksigid site].)

Every citizen has the right to an heraldic achievement, as well as a name, to mark himself or herself apart from other citizens. This right is regulated by the Office of the Hegumen Seneschal so that there shall be no confusion. *§2. The child of a citizen becomes an armiger, without the necessity of petition or payment, upon birth. This regulation shall in no way be interpreted to mean that before birth the child is not a citizen, entitled to all the rights and privileges afforded by the government of the Monastic Republic. *§3. An alien becomes an armiger, without the necessity of petition or payment, upon naturalization. *§4. No distinction shall be made between men and women as armigers, except as hereinafter decreed. *§5. The achievement of the Monastic Republic is blazoned: White, an equilateral triangle Vert, apex uppermost, surmounted of a Greek cross Or, within a bordure compony Or and Gules. Above this shield is placed an Orthodox miter affronty Sable. This is dis¬played within two olive branches fruited Proper and crossed beneath. On a scroll enscribed "<font color=blue>Ειρήνη διά πίστην</font>" below the shield are placed for sup¬porters on the dexter a monk and on the sinister an evzone, both Proper. *§6. The heraldic achievement of an armiger shall consist of a shield, a dexter sup-porter, a helm or cap of dignity, a crest, a motto and a compartment. *§7. The shield of an original armiger shall consist of a field party per pale, per fess, per bend, per bend sinister (all of which may be arched), per chevron, or per chevron inverted, of the approved pairs of colors. The first color, on the honorable side, is termed the primary color, the other, the secondary color. Together these are termed the livery colors. An appropriate charge(s) of a third color is placed at the fess point. *§8. The supporter shall be the figure of the sign of the zodiac under which the armiger was born according to the following: **a. Aries, a ram rampant of the primary color, armed and unguled of the secondary color. **b. Taurus, a bull rampant of the primary color, armed and unguled of the secondary color. **c. Gemini, a man of the race of the armiger, appropriately vested of the primary color. **d. Cancer, a unicorn rampant of the primary color, armed and unguled of the secondary color. **e. Leo, a lion rampant of the primary color, armed and langued of the secondary color. **f. Virgo, a woman of the race of the armiger, appropriately vested of the primary color. **g. Libra, a swan of the primary color, beaked and membered of the secondary color. **h. Scorpio, a boar of the primary color, armed and langued of the secondary color. **i.

Capricorn, a goat rampant of the primary color, armed and unguled of the secondary color. **k. Aquarius, a human of the race and sex of the armiger, bearing a water jar of the secondary color on the dexter shoulder and appropriately vested of the primary color. **l. Pisces, a merman or mermaid erect, the human portion of which is of the race of the armiger, and the fish portion of the primary color. **Variations to these supporters shall be awarded to the armiger by the Holy Synod as marks of honor, e.g., with the supporter guardant. *§9. The crest shall consist of a charge which shall be the same as or derived from the charge on the shield. It shall be oriented appropriately upon a wreath of the livery colors, of which the primary color is the first shown on the dexter side. *§10. Armigers in the gendarmery shall display their crest on a helm closed argent, officers affronty, enlisted to the dexter, mantled of the primary color doubled of the sec¬ondary color, the crest arising out of a wreath of the livery colors. *§11. Armigers who are retired from the gendarmery shall continue to display their crest on the helm, with the visor open. *§12. The crest as blazoned shall constitute the badge of the armiger. Displayed on livery colors, party according to the field, the badge may be flown as a banner. *§13. The shield and the supporter(s) shall be displayed as standing upon a scroll upon which is written the motto. If there is no motto, they shall stand upon a compartment which shall be a mound vert, except that the compartment for the merman or mermaid shall be water azure. *§14. No other devices may be displayed in connection with an heraldic achievement. Additional devices pertaining to civil or ecclesiastical office or to awarded honors shall be bestowed at the pleasure of the Holy Synod. *§15. Only shields are inheritable. Supporters will differ according to the date of birth and mottoes will differ according to personal choice. *§16. The firstborn child shall inherit the undifferenced shield of the father. During the lifetime of the father the inherited shield shall be differenced by the addition of a label of the alternate metal or, when there is no metal in the field, of argent. *§17. The secondborn child shall inherit the undifferenced shield of the mother. During the lifetime of the mother the inherited shield shall be differenced by the addition of a label of the alternate metal or, when there is no metal in the field, of argent. *§18. Successive children shall inherit the shields alternately of the father and the mother differenced according to the description in Article II. *§19. An only child shall inherit the shields of both parents. The maternal shield shall be marshalled as described in Article III. Maternal shields inherited in this way shall not be differenced by future generations, differencing taking place solely in the paternal shield. *§20. An only child of a subsequent generation may marshall one other maternal achievement. The two maternal achievements chosen are displayed on a chief. If more than two maternal achievements are inherited in this way, only two may be retained at the discretion of the armiger. *§21. Children of an unknown father shall inherit the maternal shield with the differencings prescribed in Article II. *§22. Children, one of whose parents is not an armiger, shall inherit the shield of the armigerous parent with the differencings prescribed in Article II. *§23. Children of unknown parentage shall be original armigers. *§24. When an armiger dies without issue, his or her heraldic shield shall not be used by a future armiger. *§25. An inheritable augmentation of honor shall be added to the heraldic achieve-ment of a spouse when his or her shield is inherited, but it shall not be borne by the spouse himself or herself. *§26. Any armiger, except those who inherit undifferenced shields, may, for a fee to be determined by the Office of the Hegumen Seneschal, petition the Holy Synod one only time to become an original armiger. This petition, once granted, may not be reversed. *§27. An heraldic achievement, or any component thereof, granted by another sovereign shall be displayed only with the permission of the Holy Synod. Only those components of the heraldic achievement described in §6 shall be permitted. Components described in §6 not already granted by another sovereign shall be granted by the Holy Synod and the whole shall thereafter be displayed and inherited as described herein. If the shield is not of the style described in §6, successive children shall inherit the shield of said armiger's spouse marshalled as described in Article III. In the case of an only child, the shield from another sovereignty shall be the one displayed as described for the maternal shield in §17, §19, and §20. *§28. An heraldic achievement, once matriculated, may be rescinded only upon voluntary or penal loss of citizenship. *§29. Heraldic achievements for institutions shall be designed, upon petition and the payment of the fee, in a style other than that described in §6 and §7. *§30. The heraldic achievements of institutions are not inheritable and cease to exist when the institution ceases to exist. Such an heraldic achievement shall not be used by a future institution. *§31. The supporter of heraldic achievements of institutions shall be those which are described in §8 as supporters for personal shields, based on the date of the founding or incorporation of the institution. The race and sex of human supporters will be determined by the race and sex of the founder, proprietor, etc., of the institution. An heraldic tyger rampant guardant shall be the supporter for land gendarmery units. A dolphin shall be the suppporter for naval gendarmery units. An eagle shall be the supporter for aviation gendarmery units. *§32. The crest of institutions shall constitute the badge of the institution. Displayed on the color(s) of the field, party according to the field, it may be flown as a banner. *§33. The shields of the heraldic achievements of institutions shall not be marshalled with those of personal shields, with the following exceptions. The personal shield of a priest shall be marshalled in any of the ways listed in Article III with the shield of his religious institution. Likewise, the shield of an officer in the gendarmery shall be marshalled with the shield of his or her unit. Both supporters may be used with their respective shields, the personal supporter on the dexter. The crest and motto shall be those of the personal heraldic achievement. *§34. Non citizens, after petitioning the Holy Synod and the payment of the fee, may be granted an heraldic achievement. This heraldic achievement has no legal standing in the Monastic Republic and may not be displayed or inherited by citizens. This grant may be used by non-citizens as proof of prior usage in disputes in their own nations. =====Article II - Differencing for Cadency===== *§1. Descendants in the second generation after an original armiger, i.e., the armiger's children, shall difference the shield by changing the line of partition to the corresponding dimunitive ordinary, i.e., per bend or bend sinister to a bendlet, per pale to a pallet, per fess to a bar, per chevron to a chevronel, and per chevron inverted to a chevronel inverted, with the field of the primary color and the new ordinary of the secondary color. These ordinaries shall be utilized in the following order: unvaried, couped, gemmeled, wavy, indented, engrailed, invected, embattled-counterembattled, and dancetty. The charge(s) shall debruise the new ordinary. *§2. Descendants in the third generation after an original armiger, i.e., the armiger's grandchildren, shall difference the shield by placing in chief a charge counterchanged. These charges shall be applied in the following order: a crescent, a trefoil, a quatrefoil, a cinquefoil, an estoile, a mullet of seven points, a mullet of eight points, and a fleur-de-lis. *§3. Descendants in the fourth generation after an original armiger shall difference the shield by placing a cross counterchanged in chief to the sinister of the first charge. These crosses shall be applied in the following order: couped, flory, moline, botonny, potent, patee, patonce, crosslet, and Maltese. *§4. Descendants in the fifth generation after an original armiger shall difference the shield by altering the field to one semy of the secondary color. The fields shall be semy in the following order: of crescents, of trefoils, of quatrefoils, of cinquefoils, of estoiles, of estoiles of seven points, of estoiles of eight points, and de-lis. *§5. Descendants in the sixth generation after an original armiger shall difference the shield by adding a bordure. These bordures shall be of the other metal or of argent if there is no Or in the field, and shall be utilized in the following order: unvaried, wavy, indented, engrailed, invected, embattled, dovetailed, potenty, and nebuly. *§6. Descendants in the seventh generation after an original armiger shall difference the shield by adding a fourth color to the bordure in the following order: per pale, quarterly, per saltire, gyronny of six, gyronny of eight, gyronny of twelve, compony, counter-compony, lozengy, and chequy. *§ 7. Descendants in the eighth generation after an original armiger shall difference the shield by placing on the bordure in chief a mark of cadency as described in regulation 2 of the other metal or of argent if there is no Or in the field. *§8. Descendants in the ninth generation after an original armiger shall difference the shield by placing on the bordure to the sinister of the eighth generation mark of cadency a second mark of cadency as described in regulation 3. *§9. Descendants in the tenth generation after an original armiger shall difference the shield by placing on the bordure to the sinister a third mark of cadency as described in regulation 2. *§10. Descendants in the eleventh generation after an original armiger shall be issued a new achievement containing the same charge(s), but of colors different than in the original arms. A roundel of the original colors shall be placed in base. Any marshalled parental arms are eliminated. These shall then be differenced as described in paragraphs 1 through 9. *§11. Descendants in the twenty first generation after an original armiger shall be issued a new achievement containing the same charge(s), but of different colors than the original arms or those of the eleventh generation. A roundel of the colors of the eleventh generation shall be placed in base to the sinister of the roundel of the original arms. These shall then be differenced as described in paragraphs 1 through 9. Any marshalled parental arms are eliminated. *§12. Et cetera. =====Article III – Marshalling===== *§1. When there is only one child, he or she shall inherit the shields of both parents. These may be marshalled in one of three ways, at the discretion of the Office of the Hegumen Seneschal, consulting with the armiger. **a. The paternal shield may be impaled to the dexter of the maternal shield. **b. The maternal shield may be displayed on a canon, a sinister canon, or an inescutcheon. The canon or inescutcheon shall debruise later marks of differencing when appropriate. **c. The paternal and maternal shield may be displayed quarterly, with the paternal shield in quarters 1 and 4, and the maternal shield in quarters 2 and 3. *§2. Maternal shields inherited in this way shall not be differenced by future generations, differencing taking place solely in the paternal shield. *§3. The shield of future only children may be displayed quarterly with the arms of the original armiger in quarter 1 and the arms of the armiger's parents in quarters 2 and 3. The armiger may choose which arms of his ancestors to display in quarter 4. *§4. The form of marshalling may be changed if future developments of the paternal shield make another style more esthetically pleasing. *§5. When institutional arms are marshalled with personal arms, the personal arms are displayed on the dexter side when impaled; the institutional arms are placed on the canon or inescutcheon. Institutional arms may also be marshalled quarterly with personal arms, the personal arms being displayed in the first and fourth quarters. =====Article IV - Assuming Surnames===== *§1. A child may assume the surname of his father or his mother. A temporary choice is to be made by the parents at the time of birth. At the age of 18, the child is to make a permanent choice. *§2. The child may choose to hyphenate the surnames of both parents, in any order. *§3. A child of parents with hyphenated surnames may choose, at the age of 18, either of the two hyphenated surnames, any one of the four names, or may hyphenate any two of them.

Other general terms in use for conlangs in the past, but less popular in recent years, include "artificial language" and "model language"; the latter term was popularized by Jeffrey Henning in the mid-1990s, but seems to have fallen out of general use. There are various types of conlang: <!-- material copied, GFDL, from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_language, to be modified according to local ethos of this wiki, more informal comments than are appropriate in WP --> *'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_language Engineered languages]''' (''[[engelang]]s'' {{IPA|/ˈendʒlæŋz/}}), further subdivided into '''philosophical languages''', '''logical languages''' (''[[loglang]]s'') and '''experimental languages'''; devised for the purpose of experimentation in logic, philosophy or linguistics. The term was originated in February 2001 by John Cowan and And Rosta.[http://archives.conlang.info/phi/zelghon/jhaufuersuan.html] *'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_auxiliary_language Auxiliary languages]''' (''[[auxlang]]s'') &mdash; devised for international communication (also '''IAL'''s, for International Auxiliary Language, or '''conIAL'''s, constructed international auxiliary languages, by contrast with Latin or other natlangs which have been used as IALs) *'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_language Artistic languages]''' (''[[artlang]]s'') &mdash; devised to create aesthetic pleasure or humorous effect This classification system grew out of discussions on the [[CONLANG]] mailing list in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Ray Brown explains it on his web site in terms of the [http://www.carolandray.plus.com/Glosso/Glossopoeia.html "Gnoli triangle"]; many conlangs are not at the vertices of the triangle (pure engelang, auxlang, or artlang) but somewhere along the lines or in the space in the middle. An older, very basic classification system was applied originally to philosophical languages and auxlangs, but is meaningful for artlangs as well: *''[[a posteriori]]'' conlangs take their vocabulary from one or more natural languages (even if the grammar is very different from those natlangs) *''[[a priori]]'' conlangs have vocabulary whose phonological forms were invented from scratch (even if their grammar is strongly influenced by certain natlangs) Occasionally one sees these terms used to refer to the whether a conlang's grammar is based closely on one or more natlangs; but this is not the most standard use of the terms. Historically, with the philosophical languages and auxlangs of the late 18th to early 20th centuries, there was probably a close correlation between ''a priori''ness in vocabulary and ''a priori''ness in grammar and semantics; but with the wider variety of conlangs being developed in recent years, this correlation is not as strong. Other terms used for describing or classifying conlangs include: * '''Personal language''', '''hermetic language''', '''''langue close''''' or '''heartlang''', a language someone creates for personal use; the latter two terms emphasize that they try to become fluent in their language to use it in expressing their private thoughts in a way that natlangs or other conlangs aren't suitable for. Javant Biarujia's [[Taneraic]] is probably the most famous such hermetic language; he coined the term ''langue close'' by analogy with French ''maison close''. Paul Burgess's [[mna Vanantha]], which he also calls "Hermetic", was recently discussed at length in Sarah L. Higley's ''Hildegard of Bingen's Unknown Language''. The term "heartlang" was coined by Rick Harrison. *'''Altlang''', a general term for an alternate-history artlang, especially naturalistic diachronically derived artlangs such as: ** '''Romlang''', a naturalistic artlang derived from Vulgar Latin or Proto-Romance; usually set in an alternate history where the Roman Empire's linguistic influence was stronger in some area than it was in our own history. Andrew Smith's Brithenig is the granddaddy of romlangs. *'''Lostlang''', a fictional language that is assumed to exist (or once have existed) in a world otherwise the same as our world, being small enough not to make a difference. The term is derived from the [[League of Lost Languages]], which provides a common framework for such languages. *'''Fauxlang''', a conlang with the design criteria of an auxlang but without the political goals of an auxlang ("the same thing we do every night, Pinky... try to take over the world!"). Some fauxlangs are also altlangs, auxlangs created by a fictional serious auxlanger in an alternate history; e.g. Rex May's Texperanto (created by a Zamenhof who immigrated to the Republic of Texas), and Ray Brown's Ελληνικό άνευ Κλίσι, a [[The WHAT|Greek-empire-timeline]] version of Peano's Latine Sine Fleksione. *'''Taxonomic languages''' are usually engelangs, specifically '''philosophical languages''', where the sequence of phonemes in a word specifies the position of the concept it represents in a taxonomic hierarchy; examples are Ro and John Wilkins' Real Character. *'''Exolang''', a language spoken by fictional nonhuman aliens, especially if it also violates human language universals. Quenya is spoken by fictional nonhumans, but probably wouldn't be called an exolang because it looks like a typical human language. Admired exolangs include Sylvia Sotomayor's [http://www.terjemar.net/kelen.php Kēlēn] and Jeffrey Henning's [http://www.langmaker.com/fith.htm Fith]. This term seems to be most used on the Conlang Relay list; elsewhere "alien language" might be more common. *'''Euroclone''', a term used primarily on the AUXLANG list but also elsewhere, is used generally to refer to auxlangs that more or less resemble Western European models. Some use the term more restrictively for a narrow set of auxlangs like Interlingua; some a bit more broadly to include more schematic European-based auxlangs like Esperanto and Ido. The term is pejorative as used by some speakers, particularly those who think an ideal auxlang should be based on worldwide rather than primarily or exclusively European sources.[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0512A&L=AUXLANG&T=0&F=&S=&P=13354] *'''Worldlang''', a term primarily used on the AUXLANG list; sometimes to mean an auxlang intended for global use in contrast to one intended for regional (e.g. Europe only) use, more recently used to refer to auxlangs that take their vocabulary from a variety of natlangs of different language families, not just Western European languages.[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0710B&L=AUXLANG&P=R1153&D=0&T=0] Some users of the term seem to emphasize globally accessible lowest-common denominator phonology and grammar, as well (e.g., CV syllables with a small phoneme inventory; few or no mandatory inflectional categories). *'''Hagioglossa''' or '''ritlang''', terms coined on the CONLANG list but rarely used as yet, a conlang devised for religious or ritual purposes (prayer, meditation, worship, etc.)[http://archives.conlang.info/ka/qhuqan/sheinjaulghuen.html] *'''Planlang''', occasionally proposed as a synonym of "engelang" but scarcely used in that sense, and also (slightly more often but not very often) used as an abbreviation of "planned language", a common term for auxlangs *'''Lablang''', occasionally proposed as a synonym of "engelang" but rarely used These terms are used more descriptively than classificationally: *'''Sketchlang''', a conlang whose grammar or vocabulary or both is very incomplete; perhaps implying that the creator has no intention of fully developing it * '''Relex''', a term of criticism saying that someone has naively or unreflectively imitated their native language too closely in creating a conlang.

Many conlangers' ''second'' attempts at conlanging are kitchen sink collections of all the neat features they've been reading about lately and the spiffy phonemes they've just learned to pronounce. * '''Maggelity''', a term used mostly on the CONLANG mailing list[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0207B&L=conlang&P=R13711] to describe the quality of conlangs with extreme degrees of irregularity even beyond what's found in natlangs; from Christophe Grandsire's conlang [[Maggel]] and its baroque orthography and grammar[http://archives.conlang.info/va/fhaerzua/gabhianjian.html].

Here are a couple of threads about the topic: *[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0603c&L=auxlang&P=3437 A thread started by Rex May in March 2006] on the AUXLANG mailing list *[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0604c&L=conlang&P=1903 A thread started by Jim Henry in April 2006] on the CONLANG mailing list *[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1009b&L=conlang&T=0&F=&S=&P=3079 A thread started by Gary Shannon in September 2010] on the CONLANG mailing list == The list == # All morphemes are the same length. E.g., all are one [[syllable]], or perhaps all are two syllables, and the [[phonotactics]] are such that syllable boundaries are unambigious. Or all morphemes are the same length in terms of segments, e.g. all contain three phonemes (but some may have CVC, some CVV, some VCV etc... so not all have the same number of syllables). The former type of system is probably easier for humans to parse; the latter, possibly easier for computers. # A subset of the [[phoneme]]s of the language are designated as an initial set (a), and the rest of the phonemes as the subsequent set (b). A word must begin with one or more phonemes from the initial set and end with one or more from the subsequent set. (Tceqli uses this method, with [[plosive]]s and [[fricative]]s in the initial set, and [[vowel]]s, [[nasal]]s and [[liquid]]s in the subsequent set.) Words might have the forms ab, aab, abb, aaab, abbb, etc., and the morpheme boundaries are wherever a '''b''' phoneme is followed by an '''a''' phoneme. Some variations of this method are: ## You could divide up the phonological segments into the following classes; a. Segments that can be the first segment of a morpheme, but can't be any non-first segment. b. Segments that can't be the first segment of a morpheme, but can be any non-first segment. Then the morphemes will look like a, ab, abb, abbb, abbbb, ... etc. Morpheme boundaries would occur just previous to each '''a'''. ## You could divide up the phonological segments into the following classes; c. Segments that can be the last segment of a morpheme, but can't be any non-last segment. d. Segments that can't be the last segment of a morpheme, but can be any non-last segment. Then the morphemes will look like c, dc, ddc, dddc, ddddc, ... etc. Morpheme boundaries would occur just after each '''c'''. ## If you require every morpheme to contain at least two segments, you could divide up the phonological segments into the following classes; e. Segments that can be the first or last segment of a morpheme, but can't be any non-first not-last segment. f. Segments that can't be the first nor last segment of a morpheme, but can be any non-first non-last segment. Then the morphemes will look like ee, efe, effe, efffe, effffe, ... etc. (Without the two-segment-minimum, ee might be "e, e" or might be "ee". Morpheme boundaries would occur just after each '''fe''' and just before each '''ef''', but a string of '''ee''' morphemes would have to be parsed globally; you couldn't tell how to parse it unless you had the whole utterance. ## If you require every morpheme to contain at least two segments you could divide up the phonological segments into the following classes; b. Segments that as before can't be the first segment of a morpheme, but can be any non-first segment. d. Segments that as before can't be the last segment of a morpheme, but can be any non-last segment. Then the morphemes will look like db, ddb, dbb, ddbb, dddb, dddbb, ddbbb, ... etc. Morpheme boundaries would occur just before the '''d''' in '''bd'''. # A subset of vowels are used only in initial or final syllables, while others are used in others. Konya did this, with /e i o u/ in initial syllables and /a/ in second and subsequent syllables of a polysyllable. Or one could use pure vowels except in final syllables, which must have a diphthong; or ditto with front and back, or rounded and unrounded, or nasal and oral vowels... # The initial phoneme indicates the number of syllables to follow (as in Jeff Prothero's Plan B); or indicates the number of phonemes to follow (various forms of Huffman encoding). # Require the last segment of each morpheme to code the length of the morpheme. This has the disadvantage of requiring you to parse from the end of an utterance backward. # All morphemes begin and end in a consonant and have no consonant clusters within them. A consonant cluster therefore marks a morpheme boundary. # Inverse of above: all morphemes/words begin and end in vowel, and have no sequences of two vowels within them. Two vowels in a row mark a morpheme boundary. (Ilomi uses a variation of this, with two vowels in a row marking a word boundary and /n/ between two vowels marking a morpheme boundary within a compound word.) # Modification of either of the above methods: To avoid adjacent vowels slurring into diphthongs, or possible difficult consonant clusters at word/morpheme boundaries, reserve a particular consonant (perhaps /?/ or /n/ or /l/) to mark boundaries between VCV... morphemes or a particular vowel (perhaps schwa) to mark boundaries between CVC... morphemes. # Tone or stress marking to distinguish initial or final syllable from following or preceding ones, and maybe distinguish monosyllables from initial (or final) syllables of polysyllabic words. ## E.g., all morphemes are stressed on the initial syllable (or all on the final syllable). This requires that all morphemes be at least two syllables long, so probably not desirable if conciseness is a goal. ## Or all monosyllables and the final syllable of polysyllabic morphemes have low tone, while initial/medial syllables of polysyllabic morphemes have high tone (or vice versa). All the schemes that segregate vowels into initial and non-initial or final and non-final sets, plus those marking boundaries with tone or stress, need to have restricted phonotactics to avoid ambiguity at syllable boundaries. E.g., if syllables can be (C)V(n), then a sequence like "tánpùníkà" (with acute and grave accents marking high and low tones) could be parsed as "tánpùn-íkà" or as "tánpù-níkà", i.e. the syllable patterns could be CVN CVN V CV or possibly CVN CV CV CV. Making the initial consonant mandatory, or forbidding "n" to occur at the beginning of a syllable (or just at the beginning of a morpheme) would fix that; analogous but more complex problems may occur with any syllable structure that allows optional final consonants. == Self-segregation at both morpheme and word levels == * The Ilomi method mentioned above, with /n/ marking morpheme boundaries within compound words and a sequence of two vowels marking a word boundary; or its consonantal inverse, with CVC... morphemes and a schwa or some such unstressed vowel marking morpheme boundaries within words, consonant clusters marking boundaries between words. * A variation on the above, with multiple intra-word conjunctions reserved for specifying the particular manner and/or order in which morphemes within a compound modify each other. There could be high and low precedence joiner morphemes, such that /ipeNahumafi/ could be parsed into /ipe/, /ahu/, and /afi/, and then the joiner morphemes /N/ and /m/ specify that /ahu/ + /afi/ modifies /ipe/ rather than /ipe/ + /ahu/ being modified by /afi/, to avoid ambiguity within compound words. Or the different joiner morphemes could specify the way the modifier morpheme applies to its head (quality, source, purpose, admixture, equal mixture, etc.); or with a larger set there could be high and low precedence versions of each manner-conjoiner morpheme.[http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0512c&L=conlang&I=-3&P=15436] == Alternatives == And Rosta's Livagian uses another method which, though not a self-segregating morphology in the strict sense, partly serves the same purpose with less restriction in the phonological shape of words. It requires a full knowledge of the lexicon to parse unambiguously, however. The key is that no actual morpheme must look like a prefix or suffix substring of another actual morpheme. So, for instance, if in a string "kesumalipe" you recognize "kesu" and "pe" as familiar morphemes, you know that this must be "kesu" followed by "ma li" or "mali" followed by "pe"; the fact that "kesu" is a real morpheme in a language meeting this criterion means that there cannot be another morpheme "kesuma" or "kesumali", and there can't be any morpheme like "lipe" or "malipe". But if you have only learned the phonology of the language and don't know much vocabulary yet, you can't deduce the morpheme boundaries from the phonotactics of the word; you would have to start by looking up "k" in the lexicon, then "ke", then "kes", until you find "kesu"; then start looking for "m", "ma", etc. [[Category:Morphology]] Lánc 6802 52779 2010-03-21T21:35:16Z Bukkia 117 /* Alphabet order */ '''Lantian''' (in language: ''Lánc'') is a constructed fantasy language.

The distinction between ''long and short vowels'' has a great importance. Most evidently it has an ''SOV'' shape, i.e. the verb comes at the end of its sentence, after subject and object. Nouns, adjectives and pronouns make an extensive use of ''cases'' to show their syntatical role inside the sentences. Also the verbs make an extensive use of ''subjunctive'' and ''optative'' moods, instead of ''conditional'', and participles have great relevance. In verbs each person has its own verbal ending and personal subject pronouns are not mandatorily required. ==Phonology== {{main|Lánc phonology}} ===Basical pronounce=== The pronounce is simple and clear. For every letter corresponds only one sound, and they are always pronounced, even if at the end of the words. Vowels must be pronounced clearly, paying attention for the distinction between long and short vowels. There is not reduction, as stress is usually fixed on the first syllable of the words and it's weak. * '''''a''''' = like '''a''' in ''father'' * '''''á''''' = like '''a''' in ''father'', but pronunced twice longer * '''''b''''' = as in English * '''''c''''' = like '''ts''' or '''tz''' as in ''Tzigane'' * '''''č''''' = always like '''ch''' in ''church'' * '''''d''''' = as in English * '''''dž''''' = an unique sound, as '''g''' in ''George'' or '''j''' in ''join'' * '''''e''''' = like '''e''' in ''men'' (close-mid front unrounded vowel) * '''''é''''' = like '''e''' in ''men'', but pronunced twice longer * '''''f''''' = as in English * '''''g''''' = always like '''g''' in ''get'' * '''''h''''' = like '''ch''' of Scottish ''loch'' * '''''i''''' = always like '''ee''' in ''meet'' * '''''í''''' = always like '''ee''' in ''meet'', but pronunced twice longer * '''''j''''' = always like '''y''' in ''you'' * '''''k''''' = as in English * '''''l''''' = always like '''l''' in ''lane'' * '''''m''''' = as in English * '''''n''''' = as in English * '''''o''''' = like '''o''' in ''rock'' * '''''ó''''' = like '''o''' in ''rock'', but pronunced twice longer * '''''p''''' = as in English * '''''r''''' = rolled Italian/Spanish-like '''r''' * '''''s''''' = as in English, but can only be '''unvoiced''' * '''''š''''' = like '''sh''' in ''shop'' * '''''t''''' = as in English * '''''u''''' = like '''u''' in ''put'' * '''''ú''''' = like '''u''' in ''put'', but pronunced twice longer * '''''v''''' = as in English * '''''y''''' = a vowel pronounced with a sound between [i] and [u]. * '''''ý''''' = as the '''y''', but pronunced twice longer * '''''w''''' = as in English * '''''z''''' = as '''s''' in ''rose'' * '''''ž''''' = as '''j''' in French ''journal'' ==Nouns== Nouns have no genre, as in English, but they flect according for '''number''' and '''case'''. The case show the role the word plays in sentences. In English it is shown by the position of the word within its sentence, but here nouns are flected by adding some endings to their root. The root of a name usually is the nominative singular form. There are 8 cases, and their main roles: * '''Nominative''': it plays the role of the ''subject''. * '''Genitive''': it shows ''possession'', proper or indirect. * '''Dative''': it plays the role of the ''indirect object''. * '''Accusative''': it plays the role of the ''indirect object'' * '''Instrumental''': it has many roles, the main one is that of preposition ''with''. * '''Locative''': it shows the ''static position''. * '''Adlative''': it shows the ''destination'' of a movement. * '''Delative''': it shows the ''origin'' of a movement. For number, nouns flect in singular, plural and '''dual''' forms. The dual number indicates a pair of things. It has a lesser number of endings, only four, with consonant and vowel counteparts. ===Declension=== There are two separated declension patterns, one for the nouns which end in consonant, and one for the nouns which end in vowel. {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=3|Singular |- | Case||Consonant||Vowel |- | Nominative || - || - |- | Genitive || -u || -w |- | Dative || -a || -ja |- | Accusative || -o || -wo |- | Instrumental || -en || -jen |- | Locative || -ot || -jot |- | Adlative || -ás || -jás |- | Delative || -ád || -jád |} If a noun already ends with '''-u''', the genitive ending in the singular melds with this vowel and becomes '''-ú'''. * mázu (''house'') ‣ mázú {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=3|Plural |- | Case||Consonant||Vowel |- | Nominative || -y || -j |- | Genitive || -yw || -ju |- | Dative || -ya || -jay |- | Accusative || -yo || -joy |- | Instrumental || -yen || -jeyn |- | Locative || -yt || -jyt |- | Adlative || -ýs || -jýs |- | Delative || -ýd || -jýd |} {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=3|Dual |- | Case||Consonant||Vowel |- | Nominative<br>Accusative || -et || -t |- | Genitive<br>Dative<br>Adlative|| -etu || -ču |- | Instrumental<br>Delative<br>|| -etyn || -čyn |- | Locative || -ec || -ciw |} :'''''Examples''''': {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''stuv = village, town'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || stuv || stuv'''y'''|| stuv'''et''' |- | Genitive || stuv'''u''' || stuv'''yw'''|| stuv'''etu''' |- | Dative || stuv'''a''' || stuv'''ya'''|| stuv'''etu''' |- | Accusative || stuv'''o''' || stuv'''yo'''|| stuv'''et''' |- | Instrumental || stuv'''en''' || stuv'''yen'''|| stuv'''etyn''' |- | Locative || stuv'''ot''' || stuv'''yt'''|| stuv'''ec''' |- | Adlative || stuv'''ás''' || stuv'''ýs'''|| stuv'''etu''' |- | Delative || stuv'''ád''' || stuv'''ýd'''|| stuv'''etyn''' |} {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''mila = woman'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || mila || mila'''j'''|| mila'''t''' |- | Genitive || mila'''w''' || mila'''ju'''|| mila'''ču''' |- | Dative || mila'''ja''' || mila'''jay'''|| mila'''ču''' |- | Accusative || mila'''wo''' || mila'''joy'''|| mila'''t''' |- | Instrumental || mila'''jen''' || mila'''jeyn'''|| mila'''čyn''' |- | Locative || mila'''jot''' || mila'''jyt'''|| mila'''ciw''' |- | Adlative || mila'''jás''' || mila'''jýs'''|| mila'''ču''' |- | Delative || mila'''jád''' || mila'''jýd'''|| mila'''čyn''' |} ====Palatalized declension==== Some nouns, even if they end with a consonant, follow the vowel declension pattern.

If there is a long vowel, when palatalization occurs, the vowel gets short. {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''krís = king'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || krís|| kriš'''y'''|| krís'''et''' |- | Genitive || krís'''u''' || kriš'''u'''|| krís'''etu''' |- | Dative || kriš'''a''' || kriš'''ay'''|| krís'''etu''' |- | Accusative || krís'''wo''' || kriš'''oy'''|| krís'''et''' |- | Instrumental || kriš'''en''' || kriš'''eyn'''|| krís'''etyn''' |- | Locative || kriš'''ot''' || kriš'''yt'''|| krís'''ec''' |- | Adlative || kriš'''ás''' || kriš'''ýs'''|| krís'''etu''' |- | Delative || kriš'''ád''' || kriš'''ýd'''|| krís'''etyn''' |} Other nouns which undergo palatalization are: '''ák''' (''water'' ‣ plur. ačy), '''héd''' (''mother'' ‣ plur. hedžy), '''lók''' (''head'' ‣ plur. ločy), '''nát''' (''father'' ‣ plur. načy), '''pýk''' (''fire'' ‣ plur. pyčy), '''úk''' (''name'' ‣ plur. učy) ====Nasalized declension==== A very few nouns, ending with a vowel in nominative singular, adds an '''-n-''' or an '''-m-''' in the other cases, and follow a special declension, mixed between the vowel and consonant declension. {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''ílu = snow'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || ílu|| ílu'''my'''|| ílu'''met''' |- | Genitive || ílu'''mu''' || ílu'''mju'''|| ílu'''metu''' |- | Dative || ílu'''ma''' || ílu'''mjay'''|| ílu'''metu''' |- | Accusative || ílu'''mo''' || ílu'''mjoy'''|| ílu'''met''' |- | Instrumental || ílu'''men''' || ílu'''mjeyn'''|| ílu'''metyn''' |- | Locative || ílu'''mot''' || ílu'''mjyt'''|| ílu'''mec''' |- | Adlative || ílu'''más''' || ílu'''mjýs'''|| ílu'''metu''' |- | Delative || ílu'''mád''' || ílu'''mjýd'''|| ílu'''metyn''' |} Other nouns which add a nasal consonant are: '''béčo''' (''kiss'' ‣ plur. béčomy), '''núrma''' (''rule'' ‣ plur. núrmany), '''púne''' (''dress'' ‣ plur. púnemy), '''pwo''' (''seed'' ‣ plur. pwomy) ====Initials' declension==== Some nouns are expressed by initials, as abbreviations of a multi-word name, like '''NMA''' (Núčelačy Mjáwej Amerikaw, ''United States of America''), or '''EN''' (Ewropár Núčeltjám, ''European Union''). They are often pronounced as initials, also in spoken language, and they decline according to the pronounce of their last letter: {| {{prettytable}} !Case !EN !NMA |- | Nominative || EN || NMA |- | Genitive || EN'''-u''' || NMA'''-ju''' |- | Dative || EN'''-a''' || NMA'''-jay''' |- | Accusative || EN'''-o''' || NMA'''-joy''' |- | Instrumental || EN'''-en''' || NMA'''-jeyn''' |- | Locative || EN'''-ot''' || NMA'''-jyt''' |- | Adlative || EN'''-ás''' || NMA'''-jýs''' |- | Delative || EN'''-ád''' || NMA'''-jýd''' |} They are pronounced as a single name: ''in the USA'' - '''onyt NMA-jyt''' {{IPA|[onɨt enemajɨt]}} ''Note'': '''Núčelačy Mjáwej Amerikaw''' is plural, and its initials '''NMA''' remain plural too ==Article== There is only the form for the definite article (''the''): '''ó'''. It has to be declined according to its noun. {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4| ''ó = the'' |- !

In prepositive position adjectives are not declined: * Attributive position: ''nom.'': dén mila (''a good woman''), ''gen.'': dénu milaw (''of a good woman'') * Prepositive position: ó mila dén ér (''the woman is good''), ony milaj dén eruk (''the women are good'') ===Declension=== The adjectival declension follows the nominal declension's pattern, with the distinction between consonant and vowel endings. Adjectives always come before their nouns, except for participles, that can occur after. If the adjective comes before a nouns which is definited, it melds with the article, and it uses the '''''definite adjectival declension'''''. * Dén mila: ''a good woman'' * Dénon mila: ''the good woman'' * Dényenon milajeyn: ''with the good women'' Here there are samples from two adjectives: {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''dén = good'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || dén'''on''' || dény'''jon'''|| dénet'''on''' |- | Genitive || dénu'''n''' || dényw'''on'''|| dénetu'''n''' |- | Dative || déna'''n''' || dénya'''jon'''|| dénetu'''n''' |- | Accusative || déno'''n''' || dényo'''jon'''|| dénet'''on''' |- | Instrumental || dénen'''on''' || dényen'''on'''|| dénetyn'''on''' |- | Locative || dénot'''on''' || dényt'''on'''|| dénec'''on''' |- | Adlative || dénás'''on''' || dénýs'''on'''|| dénetu'''n''' |- | Delative || dénád'''on''' || dénýd'''on'''|| dénetyn'''on''' |} {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''pana = high'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || pana'''n''' || panaj'''on'''|| panat'''on''' |- | Genitive || panaw'''on''' || panaju'''n'''|| panaču'''n''' |- | Dative || panaja'''n''' || panajay'''n'''|| panaču'''n''' |- | Accusative || panawo'''n''' || panajoy'''n'''|| panat'''on''' |- | Instrumental || panajen'''on''' || panajeyn'''on'''|| panačyn'''on''' |- | Locative || panajot'''on''' || panajyt'''on'''|| panaciw'''on''' |- | Adlative || panajás'''on''' || panajýs'''on'''|| panaču'''n''' |- | Delative || panajád'''on''' || panajýd'''on'''|| panačyn'''on''' |} If the adjective falls after the noun, it never use the definite declension, and the article appears before the noun: * ó mila okeláv = ''the woman who loved'' Adjectives, indicating a quality of a person, can be used alone without a substantive, as nouns. In this case they are treated like nouns and don't adopt the definite adjectival declension. * ''the poor men'': fedenyjon mony * ''the poor people'': ony fedeny. ===Comparison=== There are two degrees of comparison: the ''comparative'' form and the ''superlative'' form: They are formed by adding prefixes to the normal form of the adjective: *Comparative: add '''pu-''' (mantaining the ''-''): dén ‣ '''pu-dén''' *Superlative: add '''saj-''' (mantaining the ''-''): dén ‣ '''saj-dén''' The second term of the comparison for comparative form is introduced by ''ča'': * lak mila pu-méra '''ča''' šik ér: ''this woman is more beautiful than that one'' ==Pronouns== ===Personal=== These are the forms of personal pronouns: {|border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !

The article is not used before parental nouns ('''nát''' (father), '''héd''' (mother), etc..). * ''My name is Mark'': Kijunon úk Mark ér. * ''I talked to your mother'': Towna hedža malževu. ===Reflexive=== There is only one form of reflexive pronoun, meaning that the expressed action falls on the subject of the action itself. The pronoun declines for cases and number (singular, plural and dual). {|border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !

From the genitive it can be built three reflexive possessive pronoun, '''sijun''', '''sijywn''', '''sijčun''', which imply that the subject and the possessor are the same. Although they can be used with every personal pronoun, their use has been limited in time to the third persons: * ''She watches her own home'': hí sijunon mázuwo sélve * ''They washed their own cars'': sijywnyjon awtojoy míjevek Using the other possessive pronouns indicates that the possessor and the subject aren't the same: * hí sijuno monsono kele: ''she loves her own hubsand'' * hí hijuno monsono kele: ''she loves her (of another woman) husband'' ===Relative=== These are the forms of the relative pronoun: {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''ksé = that, which, who'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || ksé || kší || kset |- | Genitive || ksew || kšú || kseču |- | Dative || kšá || kšáy || kseču |- | Accusative || ksewo || kšóy || kset |- | Instrumental || kšén || kšéyn || ksečyn |- | Locative || kšót || kšýt || kseciw |- | Adlative || kšás || kšýs || kseču |- | Delative || kšád || kšýd || ksečyn |} These forms are used more rarely than in English, because in relative sentences participles are more actively used. ===Interrogative=== {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''má = what'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || má || maj || mjet |- | Genitive || maw || mju || mječu |- | Dative || maja || mjay || mječu |- | Accusative || mó || mjoy || mjet |- | Instrumental || mén || mjeyn || mječyn |- | Locative || mjot || mjyt || mjeciw |- | Adlative || mjás || mjýs || mječu |- | Delative || mjád || mjýd || mječyn |} {| {{prettytable}} !colspan=4|''mé = who'' |- !Case !Singular !Plural !Dual |- | Nominative || mé || mej || mejet |- | Genitive || mew || meju || meječu |- | Dative || meja || mejay || meječu |- | Accusative || mewo || mejoy || mejet |- | Instrumental || mejen || mejeyn || meječyn |- | Locative || mejot || mejyt || mejeciw |- | Adlative || mejás || mejýs || meječu |- | Delative || mejád || mejýd || meječyn |} '''Interrogative pronoun/adjective''' (they are declined): * ''Which'': máke * ''How much'': móse '''Indeclinable pronouns''': * ''How'': swé * ''Where'' (status): swot * ''Where'' (motion): swás * ''From where'' (status): swád * ''When'': swíz * ''Why'': méske ==Numbers== Numbers are treated like adverbs. They don't decline, except for '''nók''', ''one'' (''dat.'': '''noča''', it has no plural forms), which also means ''unique''. {| ! Number || Name |- | 1 || nók |- | 2 || džis |- | 3 || klik |- | 4 || pali |- | 5 || majt |- | 6 || šuk |- | 7 || poč |- | 8 || vát |- | 9 || lém |- | 10 || tóčy |} Numbers from 11 to 19 are built by adding '''-af-''' (''on'') + '''-tóč''' (a simplified form of 10) to the primary numbers: {| ! Number || Name |- | 11 || nó'''č'''aftóč |- | 12 || džisaftóč |- | 13 || klikaftóč |- | 14 || pal'''j'''aftóč |- | 15 || majtaftóč |- | 16 || šukaftóč |- | 17 || počaftóč |- | 18 || vátaftóč |- | 19 || lémaftóč |} The only two irregularities are '''bolded'''. Names of tens are built by simply adding '''-tóč''' (a simplified form of 10) to the primary numbers: {| ! Number || Name |- | 20 || džistóč |- | 30 || kliktóč |- | 40 || palitóč |- | 50 || majttóč |- | 60 || šuktóč |- | 70 || počtóč |- | 80 || váttóč |- | 90 || lémtóč |} Other numbers are: {| ! Number || Name |- | 100 || tóček |- | 200 || džistóček |- | 300 || kliktóček |- | 1,000 || pastó |- | 2,000 || džispastó |- | 3,000 || klikpastó |- | 1,000,000 || miljón |- | 1,000,000,000 || miljárd |} '''Miljón''' and '''miljárd''' are treated and declined like nouns (''plur.'' miljóny, miljárdy). After them nouns are declined in ''genitive case'': - ''The Sun is one hundred fifty millions kilometres from Earth'': Ó Lós vašwate tóček majttóč miljárdyo kilométryw ód ono Páno. The '''ordinal numbers''' are formed by adding the ending '''''-ov''''' to the numbers. There are some irregularities: {| ! Number || Name |- | 1 || nó'''č'''ov |- | 2 || džisov |- | 3 || klikov |- | 4 || pal'''j'''ov |- | 5 || majtov |- | 6 || šukov |- | 7 || počov |- | 8 || vátov |- | 9 || lémov |- | 10 || tó'''č'''ov |- | 11 || nóčaftóčov |- | 20 || džistóč |- | 100 || tóč'''k'''ov |- | 1,000 || pastóv |- | 1,000,000 || miljónov |} In composed numbers, the ending is added only on the last number: - 2,602,094th: miljónet šuktóček džispastó lémtóč paljov ==Adverbs== There is a small number of original adverbs, without a clear etimologic origin. Some adverbs are fixed forms from declined nouns: * ''tomorrow'': tefadžo (from fád, ''day'') Most adverbs come from adjectives. They are formed by adding the suffix '''-(j)um''' to the adjective: * ''good'': dén ‣ ''well'': dénum * ''human'': čésár ‣ ''humanly'': čésárum ==Verbs== Verbs have a rich system of conjugation. There are one infinitival form, 3 participles, 4 moods and at least 5 tenses in the indicative mood. Verbs do conjugate according to the person, with different endings for each person, in singular, plural and dual. Each form has a passive counterpart, because there is a separated passive conjugation. Verbs are divided in two conjugation patterns, depending on their infinitival endings: * 1st conjugation = '''-uč''' * 2nd conjugation = '''-or''' By dropping these endings we'll get the verbal root, basis of verbal conjugation. ===Infinitive=== This is the infinitival form, that you'll find in dictionaries. We'll use two sample verbs, to show the conjugation: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" ! to Love ! to Eat |- |Keluč |Setor |} ===Participles=== Verbs have three participles: present participle, past participle, and future participle, which doesn't exist in English, but express the same meaning of the other two participles but in the future. {|border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" ! Present !! Past !! Future |- | kel'''áv''' || '''o'''kel'''áv''' || '''te'''kel'''áv''' |- | set'''áv''' || '''o'''set'''áv''' || '''te'''set'''áv''' |} The past participle has an active meaning; '''osetáv''' doesn't mean ''that has been eaten'', but ''which has eaten''. The vowel in the ''-áv'' ending gets short when declined: * nom. keláv (''loving'') ‣ gen. kelavu (''of loving'') Participles are very important in the construction of relative sentences. ===Indicative=== The indicative mood is the mood of reality, that shows happenings, tales, indications, etc. It has 5 tenses. Two tenses are simple, three tenses add prefixes. ====Present==== {|border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !

It has 3 tenses. Two tenses are simple, one tense adds prefixes. Subjunctive is marked by the infixed vowel '''-a-''', which replaces the '''-e/u-''' alternance in the indicative. ====Present==== {|border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !

Present !! Past !! Future |- | esáv || okesáv || tekesáv |} The most important feature of this verb is that its behaviour is different from its English countepart's one. The possession is expressed by another construction: The owned object is in the ''nominative case'' (i.e. it becomes the sentence's subject), then the verbs agree with it and the owner is declined in ''dative case''. This occurs both for proper or aquired possession. * Lók bányajon čésya és: ''All human beings have a head'' (lit.: A head to all human beings has) * Poljasma kija és: ''I have a pen'' (lit.: A pen to me has) ===Conjugation tables=== {{seealso|Lánc conjugation tables}} ==Word formation== ===Noun → Noun=== * To form a noun which refers to someone who sells something, the ending '''-jaš''' is added. This ending could palatalize the last consonant of palatalizable nouns, losing the [j]: - Tále (''book'') ‣ tálejaš (''bookseller'') * To form a noun which refers to the place, where something is sold, the ending '''-(o)rám''' (from ''rámek'', shop) is added: - Tále (''book'') ‣ tálerám (''bookshop'') * To form a noun which refers to place where a certain person has a power, linked with his/her title, the ending '''-pót''' is added. This ending could palatalize the last consonant of palatalizable nouns. It almost corresponds to English ending ''-dom''. - Krís (''king'') ‣ krišpót (''kingdom'') ===Noun → Adjective=== * One of the most common endings to turn a noun into its corrispective adjective is '''-ár'''. If the noun already ends with ''-r'', the ending changes in '''-ál'''.

These adjectival forms can be used also as the country population's noun: - Itália (''Italy''): itáljáron hranu (''the Italian food'') / ony itáljáry (''the Italians'')<br> ===Verb → Noun=== * Ending '''-(o)tjám'''. This ending indicates the concrete or abstract result of the action of the verb. The ''-o-'' is inserted when the verbal root ends with two consonants (except -jC- or -wC-) or with ''-t'' or ''-d''. It almost corresponds to English ending ''-tion''. - nýnoluč (''to modificate'', ''to change'') ‣ nýnoltjám (''modification'', ''changement'')<br> - čejnuč (''to build'') ‣ čejntjám (''building'')<br> - siwnor (''to collect'') ‣ siwntjám (''collection'')<br> - zálvuč (''to create'') ‣ zálvotjám (''creation'')<br> * Ending '''-(o)sén'''. This ending indicates the process of the action of the verb. The ''-o-'' is inserted when the verbal root ends with two consonants (except -jC- or -wC-) or with ''-s''. It almost corresponds to English ending ''-ing''. - šmanor (''to cook'') ‣ šmansén (''cooking'')<br> - čejnuč (''to build'') ‣ čejnsén (''construction'')<br> - šušmor (''to spread'') ‣ šušmosén (''spreading'') * Ending '''-ačan'''.

This prefix indicates that the action of the verb is repeated one or more times. The ''-k-'' is inserted when the verbal root begins with a vowel. It almost corresponds to English adverb ''-again'' or the latin prefix ''re-''. - toljuč (''to do'', ''to make'') ‣ vretoljuč (''to do again'', ''to make again'')<br> - salmor (''to see'') ‣ vresalmor (''to see again'')<br> - lolor (''to say'') ‣ vrelolor (''to say again'', ''to repeat'')<br> ===Verb → Adjective=== Except for participles, there are other kinds of adjective which can be formed from verbs. * Ending '''-omša'''.

Its weight is about 14,500 tonnes. It currently leans at about 5.5 degrees. The tower has 294 steps.'' ''After the third floor was built in 1178, the tower started to lean, due to small foundation (only three meters). The project of the tower was wrong from the beginning. Construction was stopped for almost 100 years because the Pisans were often at war with Genoa, Lucca, and Florence.''

The Terun-Naga that dwelt in Dór Dulrent "evolved", developed into a group called [[The Longrim]]; that's the reason why Dór Dulrent is accounted as a realm of the Longrim and not the Terun-Naga. It was found by king [[Nagatailo]], a leader of Terun-Naga. The name, Dór Dulrent, meaning "The Guarded Realm" was given to it because of great ravines that surrounded the borders of it; as the legends tell as, they were created by the [[Vaenar]], a demigod race. ==Geography== Dór Dulrent was located between the [[Mountains of the West]] in the West and the [[Sea of Normád]] in the East. Near the Northern Ravine there were great hills, called ''Tadaum Maeder''. Between them and the Sea there was the city of ''Avóren'' placed upon a hill (the hill was called ''Vêdh''). Avóren was a place were many of the Longrim dwelt, especially those who enjoyed wild nature. In the uttermost south of Dór Dulrent there was the great Meadowland; a green, flowering plane with no hills or trees. No city was set there, but a large number of Longrim dwelt there alone with their beloved ones or in small villages. East to the Meadowland, along the shore of Sea of Normád there was a land called ''The Coast''. It was deserted, yet still beautiful; all the borders of sea was filled with shining amber, hills of sand stood high among them, and pines, mighty in their loneliness, marked green splashes in the sky. ==Kings== There was two kings for Dór Dulrent; [[Nagatailo]], the founder and [[Emár]], his son.

In that year, the Monastic Republic signed the Unified Currency Convention of the European Federation. Since it was difficult to coordinate the new currency with the denominations of the Greek stamps then in use, the Monastic Republic began to print its own postage stamps. The first stamps were issued on July 2, 1991. The stamps were printed by a printing firm in Athens. *The following denominations were printed: **M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M7, M9, M11 **δ3, δ6, δ12, δ18, δ24, δ30 **λ2, λ4, λ6, λ7, λ8, λ10, λ13, λ14, λ16, λ18, λ22 *The following postal rates were established: **1. Internal mail ***a. First class: λ6 for 2 oz.; λ4 for each additional 2 oz. ***b. Second class: λ4 for 2 oz.; λ3 for each additional 2 oz. ***c. Third class: λ2 for 2 oz.; λ2 for each additional 2 oz. **2. Mail within Europe ***a. First class: λ10 for 2 oz.; λ6 for each additional 2 oz. ***b.

Air mail: M3 for 2 oz.; M2 for each additional 2 oz. *The lepta denominations were printed as definitives. Each stamp was square. The design was a white background and a border compony of 20 gold and red as appears on the Monastic Republic’s flag. The denomination’s numeral, along with the symbol '''λ''', was printed in green and filled the white background. *The other denominations were issued as commemoratives of a larger size than the definitives, but still square. As with the definitives, each denomination had the border compony of 20 gold and red. The following illustrations were printed: **M1 – a painting of the Panagia of Mt. Athos. **M2 – the Cape Arapis lighthouse. **M3 – the Museum of Athonite Antiquities. **M4 – an aerial view of the Xerxes Canal from the west. **M5 – the cypress of St. Athanasius. **M7 – the Mt. Athos Performing Arts Center. **M9 – the water between Prosforion and Ammouliani showing the ferry boat headed for Ammouliani and other water traffic. **M11 – the Hospital of the Holy Spirit. **δ3 – the Holy Mountain in profile viewed from the east. **δ6 – the government house in Karyes. **δ12 – the icon of St. Athanasius. **δ18 – the fishing fleet leaving Ammouliani harbor at dawn. **δ24 – an olive branch bearing both flowers and fruit. **δ30 – an evzone at attention in front of the Prosforion government house. *First-day covers were made available on the first day of issue. Collectors were permitted to order these covers by mail. The collectors were free to request any combination of stamps on the covers that they wished and any amount of FDCs they wished. These were then sent to the collectors either packaged and uncancelled or through the postal system and cancelled. The Philately Section of the Post Office had to hire extra part-time employees to handle the amount of orders requested. *The commemorative cachet was of the Holy Mountain from the east, showing the location of the Monastery of St. Athanasius and the Cape Akrothis lighthouse.

In the beginning, there was the copula, which was used to denote tense, person, and mood for nearly all verbs, and also acted as the "linking" verb, and increasingly also used as an existential copula, but there was also the locational copula which originally was the existential copula as well, but was increasingly falling out of favor with that use. The linking copula conjugated as follows: {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Narrative Past !Simple Past !Progressive Present !Future |- |'''First Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|uz'iθ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɑuz'iɑi}} | align=center | {{IPA|ez'iɑi}} | align=center | {{IPA|iz'iɑi}} |- |'''Second Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|uz'ɛθ|}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɑuz'ɛ}} | align=center | {{IPA|ez'ɛ}} | align=center | {{IPA|iz'iɑ}} |- |'''Third Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|uz'io}} | align=center | {{IPA|ɑuz'io}} | align=center | {{IPA|ez'io}} | align=center | {{IPA|iz'io}} |- |} The locational copula meanwhile conjugated in the following way: {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Narrative Past !Simple Past !Progressive Present !Future |- |'''First Person Singular''' | align=center | {{IPA|kɑs|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑpt|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑp|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑp|}} |- |'''First Person Plural''' | align=center | {{IPA|kɑ|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑʦ|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑs|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑs|}} |- |'''Second Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|kɑn|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑn}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑl}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑl}} |- |'''Third Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|kɑ|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑ|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑk|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kɑk|}} |- |} When the linking copula turned into a suffix for all verbs during the development of Faraneit, the linking copula took the nascent verb-noun for the locational copula (*kɑ) and cemented itself to that form and formed the modern copula, which is both linking and existential. Very soon after, however, a sporadic sound change altered this verb's conjugation paradigm, changing j (/ʒ/) to c (/x/) when between two back vowels. The pattern is as follows: {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Narrative Past !Simple Past !Progressive Present !Future |- |'''First Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|keujeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kojeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kejeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kijeih|}} |- |'''Second Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|keujih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kojih}} | align=center | {{IPA|kejih}} | align=center | {{IPA|kijih}} |- |'''Third Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|keucoah|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kocoah|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kejoah|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kijoah|}} |- |'''Verb-noun''' | align=center | {{IPA|keuj|}} | align=center | {{IPA|koj|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kej|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kij|}} |- |} Meanwhile, the locational copula developed from the earlier locational copula which (like most verbs) added on the copula as a suffix, but this verb maintained its earlier conjugation pattern between the root and the new suffixes, creating this pattern: {| class="wikitable" ! &nbsp; !Narrative Past !Simple Past !Progressive Present !Future |- |'''First Person Singular''' | align=center | {{IPA|kaseujeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|katojeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kapejeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kapijeih|}} |- |'''First Person Plural''' | align=center | {{IPA|kaheujeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kasojeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kazejeih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kazijieh|}} |- |'''Second Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|kaneujih|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kanojih}} | align=center | {{IPA|kalejih}} | align=center | {{IPA|kalijih}} |- |'''Third Person''' | align=center | {{IPA|kaheujoah|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kahojoah|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kakejoah|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kakijoah|}} |- |'''Verb-noun''' | align=center | {{IPA|keuj|}} | align=center | {{IPA|koj|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kej|}} | align=center | {{IPA|kij|}} |- |} Note that the locational copula didn't experience the same sporadic sound change. ==rej== To have or to hold, the verb '''rej''' experienced the same sound change as the linking kej.

However, all the ingredients from their homelands were no longer available to them. It was difficult to import food in those days and they had to use what was at hand. In time a distinctive Athonite cuisine emerged, a blending of Greek and Near Eastern cuisines. ===Ethnic Cuisines=== *Ethnic or national cuisines are defined by certain ingredients and the combinations of them that are used. **The Middle East ***The Middle East is the cradle of wheat and barley, chick peas and fava beans and the olive. Sesame seed is used, not as a flavoring as in the Orient, but as a thick paste. The yogurt of central Asia is common, as is their tradition of spit-roasted meats. ***A variety of flavorings is used. Most important are fresh parsley, dill and mint. Sadly, cinnamon disappeared from the cuisine because of its unavailability. Lemon (or lime) juice is used in place of the vinegar or tamarind of other cuisines. And the tomato, once it became available, has become a staple of Athonite cuisine. ***There are two basic flavor principles in the Middle East. The first is tomato/cinnamon with variations from lemon and dill. The second is lemon/parsley with variations from garlic and mint. It is this second that is used exclusively in the Athonite cuisine. **Greek cuisine is a subset of Mediterranean cuisine and the olive defines Mediterranean cuisine. ***Flavoring include onions, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, anchovies, pine nuts, almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts. ***The tomato and the bell pepper were added after the discovery of the New World. Interestingly, this cuisine did not choose the hot varieties of the capsicum pepper, but the milder bell pepper. ***Especially Greek is wild thyme, also called oregano. Together with olive oil and lemon, it characterizes much of Greek cooking. *There are restaurants (<font color=blue>ρεςτοράν</font>) in the Monastic Republic that serve Greek or Near Eastern or Turkish cuisine, but the taverns (<font color=blue>ταβερνάκ</font>) and inns (<font color=blue>χαν</font>) and B&B’s (<font color=blue>πανςιόν</font>) and coffee bars (<font color=blue>καφενί</font>) and tea houses (<font color=blue>τεϊοποτί</font>) and kiosks (<font color=blue>κιόςκ</font>) serve only Athonite cuisine. Consider yourself fortunate to be invited for dinner to the home of a citizen. *The signature of Athonite cuisine is the use of tomatoes and eggplants, often with fish or shellfish, flavored with lemon (or lime), olive oil, olives, oregano and garlic. ===Athonite Food=== ====Bread (<font color=blue>ψωμ</font>)==== *Virtually all the bread consumed in the Monastic Republic, with the exception of pastries, is flat bread, i.e., unleavened bread, a simple concoction of flour, water, and salt (pita is leavened). In the Monastic Republic it is known by the Lebanese name ''saj'' (<font color=blue>ςατζ</font>). The Turkish name is ''yufka''. *Saj kiosks can be found throughout the towns, selling sweet-and-sour eggplant (with various additions), wrapped in saj or as sarmádh. They also sell baba ghanouj and, for drinking, ades, beer and wine. The Athonites are not enamored of soda (pop). *Because this food item is the staple of the diet in the Monastic Republic every available hectare is devoted to the growing of wheat. This means virtually every hectare outside of the limits alloted to the three towns. The only buildings outside town limits are the prison and the Aoun Brewery. *The Greeks from Turkey brought with them the concept of the tandoor oven (<font color=blue>τάντιρ</font>). Virtually every household has one in the courtyard (<font color=blue>αύλ</font>). Since wood is scarce, they are fired with imported charcoal. *The Orthodox nuns in Aktí bake a thinner saj that is used by the churches for the Eucharist. The monks bake their own. ====Meat==== *The only source of red meat is goat or kid from the large flock on Amoulián. When one is available it is usually sold to an eatery in the town and is served as chevon or cabrito. *Chicken is available. Many households raise chickens and often sell them to local eateries. When the chickens of the monasteries are no longer able to lay eggs, they are sold in the Lowland. *Egg dishes are common in the Monastic Republic. ====Seafood==== *Seafood is the main source of protein in the Monastic Republic. Each town has a fishing fleet and they bring home a large catch of fish and shellfish. Many recipes that originally called for meat have been recast for seafood. ====Dairy==== *The only source of milk is goats. Some of it is sold for drinking, but the larger part of it is used to make cheese. *The dairy on Amoulián makes three types of cheese: **a firm cheese (<font color=blue>χέλιμ</font>), fresh or aged, much like mozzarella, which is firm enough to fry; **a crumbly cheese (<font color=blue>φετ</font>) similar to feta; **and a whey cheese (<font color=blue>μίζιθ</font>) similar to ricotta. ====Fruits and nuts==== *Grapes, fresh or dried, are served. *In season, there are fresh oranges. *Lemon and lime juice are used as flavorings. *The Sericulture Association, which has a monopoly on the mulberry bushes, sells fresh mulberries and makes mulberry preserves. *Chestnuts are harvested by the Monastery of Sts. Peter and Paul and what is not used for their chestnut liqueur is sold in the Lowland. These are used frequently in recipes that originally called for almonds. *Monks throughout the Holy Mountain harvest the seeds from the pine ''Pinus pinea'', the pine nut, to sell in the Lowland. ====Vegetables==== *Some householders have a vegetable garden in their courtyards (<font color=blue>αύλ</font>). *Each town has a large area for hothouses which grow an assortment of vegetables hydroponically. *Most of the hothouse space is given over to tomatoes, bell peppers, and eggplants. *The two most often used vegetables in the Monastic Republic are tomatoes and eggplants. *One complete hothouse is used to grow herbs. Fresh herbs are always available in the markets. *Experiments are underway to grow mushrooms in artificial caves in the foothills of the Lowland. *There is a cannery in Prosforion where the homemaker may take her fruits and vegetables for canning or drying. ====Desserts==== *A variety of pastries are made in the Monastic Republic, the supreme example of which is baklava (<font color=blue>μπακλάβ</font>): layers of saj and pine nuts, sweetened with honey and rose water. *Since ice cream must be imported, most of the eateries prefer to make and serve sorbets (<font color=blue>ςέρμπετ</font>): lemon, lime, orange and wine flavored. *Chestnuts are candied. ====Drink==== *Although they must be imported, tea and coffee are drunk, with tea outdistancing coffee four to one. *Of course, there is the wine produced by the monasteries and the citrus liqueurs made on Amoulián. *The Monastic Republic has its own brewery, the Aoun Brewery, which brews a light brown wheat beer. *Ades are made from the citrus fruits and bottled. ===Some Typical Dishes=== *sarmádh (<font color=blue>ςαρμάδ</font> < Turk. ''sarmak'', to wrap) (The Greek ''dolma'' < Turkish ''dolmak'', to be stuffed, is properly applied only to vegetables that are stuffed, ''e.g.'', eggplant, squash, peppers, etc.) – The rice must be imported; no cinnamon is used. Either grape leaves or cabbage leaves are used. *terbíye (<font color=blue>τερμπίγε</font>) – This Greek ''soupa avgolemono'' (egg-lemon soup) is made with fish stock and bits of fish and/or shellfish. It may also be made with chicken or vegetable stock. Lime juice may be used instead of lemon. *souvlák (<font color=blue>ςουβλάκ</font>) – the Greek ''souvlaki'', diminutive of ''souvla'', skewer, < Latin ''subula'', awl. Chevon, chicken, swordfish or shellfish may be skewered. *hummus with tahini (<font color=blue>χούμους με ταχίν</font> < Arabic ''hummus'', chickpea) – Chick peas (<font color=blue>ρεβιθί</font>) are grown in one of the hot houses. Lime juice is often used instead of lemon juice. Since the sesame paste (tahini) has to be imported, the paste added is often made from pine nuts. *baba ghanouj (<font color=blue>μπάμπα γανούδζ</font>) (Greek, <font color=blue>μελιτζανοςαλάτα</font>, eggplant salad) – Essentially the same as hummus, but made with eggplant instead of chick peas. Lime juice is often used instead of lemon juice. ===Menus=== *There are three cuisines prominent in the Monastic Republic. Though the immigrants have intermarried and moved about within the MR, each of the demes reflects the cuisine of the original immigrants. In 1885, Lebanese refugees, Arab and Greek, were welcomed to the MR. They established the deme of Aktí on the the east coast, which has remained the center of the Lebanese culture. *In 1922, 90 Greek refugee families from Caesarea (Kayseri) in Turkey, on the north coast on the Black Sea were welcomed. They founded the deme of Prosforion on the west coast and brought their Turkish culture with them. They started the carpet industry and Prosforion retains a Turkish flavor. *In the following year, 1923, 23 Greek refugee families from the island of Paşalımani, in the Sea of Marmara were welcomed. They were permitted to settle on Amoulián Island and founded the town of Amoulián. They started the fishing industry and the Amoulián fleet is the largest of the three. They also covered the interior of the island with citrus groves. More Greek than the refugees from Kayseri, they gave a Greek atmosphere to Amoulián, the smallest of the demes. *There is also a Chinese restaurant in each deme owned and operated by the Lin family. ====Sample Lebanese Menu==== *μεζ (meze or mezze) – a selection of appetizers. **Choose any three of the following: ***For vegetarians: ****Baba ghanoush – grilled eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic puree ****Hummus – a spread made of blended chickpeas, sesame tahini, lemon juice, and garlic, served with pita ****Fried cauliflower – served with tahini ****Tabbouleh – diced parsley salad with bulgur, tomato, onion and mint, tossed with olive oil and lemon juice ****Fattoush – salad of toasted pita, cucumbers, tomatoes, chickweed, feta, and mint ****Labneh – strained goat’s milk yogurt seasoned with thyme and olive oil ***For non-vegetarians ****Any of the above plus: ****Kibbeh – fried bulgur croquette stuffed with minced cabrito (milk-fed kid) ****Shish taouk – skewered and grilled chicken cubes served with toum (garlic sauce) Longrim Ethnographical Questionnaire 6822 51391 2010-01-08T18:23:38Z Longrim 1289 /* Questions of Government */ = Your conculture Ethnographical Questionnaire = '''[[Dr. Zahar’s Ethnographical Questionnaire]]''' was compiled by David Zahir to help in the description of [[conculture]]s, and can be found in the files section of the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture/ Conculture group at Yahoo]. __TOC__ == Questions of Place == === Describe the geography of where your society calls home. === It is called [[Dór Dulrent]]. It is located in a plain between high mountains and a raging sea, having the mountains in the west, sea in the east. The north of Dór Dulrent belongs to great hills, as the south - to forests and swamps. === Describe the climate your society deals with. How severe are their seasons? === The climate is more ore less temperate - the winters have snow yet the temperature fall never under -20 Celsius. The summers are warm, sometimes hot, but never dry or arid, rain falls every three or four days, the rainfalls are moderately powerful and are about one or two hour long. Spring is short, the snow being melt down fast. Spring is the season of forest flowers. Fall is longer than spring. It starts with winds rising from north and north-west and more common rainfalls. Rainfalls become longer in hours yet weaker. The temperature slowly drops, and so do the leafs of trees. === What kinds of natural disasters has this society gotten used to? === Thunderstorms are quit common in Dór Dulrent, otherwise, it has a very peaceful climate. === What are the most commonly-grown foods? === Grains are grown for bread and porridge. Beans, peas, cabbage, carrots and similar vegetables are also grown. Buckwheat is grown in small amounts. Of fruits most common are apples, plumes and grapes. In the uttermost southern part peaches, and orange-like fruits are grown.

Do they think it likely? === They hope for final defeat of [[Gurhathim]]. The Longrim think such an event might come, but in a far future. === What do they assume the future will hold? === The Longrim usually don't try to predict the future, nor they think a lot of it. They, same as the most of the Elves, live for today, and not the many hundred thousands of tomorrows they shall see in their endless lives. === How has this society changed? Do its current members realize this? === The society has changes drastically from the Terun-naga stage. At the begining the Longrim were just a group of Terun-Naga that lived far from the Nagatail (the realm of Terun-naga). Due a number of changes (language change, the change of government, establishment of education system, and many more) they quit rapidly developed in the society/culture what is no known as [[The Longrim]]. Another significant change was the splitting up of the society, developing two separate, yet friendly and related groups - the Day Elves and the [[Night Elves]]. === What are the most popular stories about the past? === Stories of the times when Terun-naga dwelt in Silimath are very popular. Within stories of more recent times, most popular are the stories that tell of the bravery and courage of [[Feldanung]] and his sons, who defeated the dragon [[Thaifatir]] and were killed by it themselves. === Who in the past is the greatest hero? The worst villain? === The greatest heroes of all time sin the eyes of the Longrim are probably the Kings of Longrim - [[Nagatailo] and [[Emár]]. The most hated villain is Gurhathim and his greatest servant, [[Neferus]]. === Do people think the present better or worse than the past? === The Longrim hold their present days better than the past, because of the relative peace and wealthiness. === Do people believe the future will be better or worse than the present or past? === As it was already told, the Longrim does not waist their time on thoughts about the future. == Questions of Sex and Family == === How many spouses may a man or woman have? === Both a man and a woman can only have one spouse. === Who decides on a marriage? === Both of the couple. === Can a marriage end in divorce? How? === The only way a Longrim marriage could be divorced is by death of either the husband or the wife. It is not likely to have an unlucky marriage in the Longrim society, so there is no need of proper divorce process. === Who usually takes custody of children if a marriage ends for some reason? === As it was told, the only way to end a marriage is by a death of a husband or wife. In such a case the children, of course, is taken care by the surviving parent. === How is adultery defined? What (if any) is the punishment? Who decides? === Adultery is considered to be any sexual or erotic contact with a person which is not a spouse. Till this day, there haven't been any cases of adultery in the Longrim society, so the punishment is unknown. === How are families named?(g) What happens to orphans? === Families receive their names from the house of the Husband. An elven female Áelen, after a marriage with an elven male,named, for example, Agweledh, who comes from an ancient family that is believed to descent from, say, elf Tharách, will receive a "of House of Tharách" title to her name. So, the couple they form is Agweledh and Áelen of the House of Tharách. In addition, the first family of the wife can also be mentioned. Lets say that Áelen descends form the House of Yrin. So, this would end up like Agweledh and Áelen Yrinen of the House of Tharách. Orphans are taken care of by other parent that are willing to accept them. === How are boy and girl children treated differently? === They are not. === Are premarital relations allowed? === The Longrim sees no reason to not allow them. === How does your society define incest? Rape? How do people react to these? === Incest is defined as a sexual-erotic relationship between members of one family that are bound to the same blood line.. In the case described above, sexual relationships between, say, the sister of Agweledh and a brother of Áelen would not be considered an incest. Though they are now of on family, there are no blood-kinship between them. Reaction of society to incest is some kind of disbelief, since such partnership is really rare between the Elves. In case of very close kin incest, a punishment might be done. A rape is defined as sexual or erotic contact between two or more members of the society against the free will of one or more participants. Reaction to rape ion the Elven Society is... shock and anger. The victim is to receive large material and even larger mental help, while the criminal is most likely to be executed. === What, if anything, is considered a good marriage gift? === The Longrim don't have gift-ing traditions in marriage. Usually, the most essential house-life tools are given, but those are not considered as gifts. A bouquet of flowers, some jewelry, some new clothes are the most common gifts.

A large portion of Dór Dulrent military force are females. === What professions or activities are viewed as feminine? === Most female-activities are weaving and similar. === What inanimate or sexless things are considered male or female? === Due the fact that Longrim tongue Longrimol does not separate noun genres, inanimate and sexless things are usually considered as... sexless.

Every word in iljena is a noun-verb compound. It consists of a triconsonantal root, which expresses the nominal sense of the word, and a vowel pattern, marking the verbal sense. The following word-shapes are possible- * CCVC * CCVCV * CVCCV * CVCVC * CVCVCV * VCCVC * VCCVCV * VCVCCV * VCVCVC * VCVCVCV Many verb patterns act in a caselike way- for example [[iljena/lijin kovt|lijin kovt]], the name usually used by humans for the Leyen's home planet, parses as Leyen.dwell world.hold, with the verb-pattern 1o23 "hold" acting in a locative-like manner. There is a school of thought, originating with the Kēleni explorer an-Mārōn λi-Kīþa Ōmrisse maþīñanen, that classifies iljena as a verbless language, similar to [http://www.terjemar.net/kelen.php Kēlen], but the Leyen reject this analysis, and most human exolinguists agree that it makes more sense to describe an open class as "verbs" than "cases". The terms used by Leyen grammarians are kps "body" for the noun root, and brt "spirit" - it is the union of the two that makes a word alive. They describe human words as "like corpses and ghosts". It is also noted that human students tend to overuse the verb pattern 12u3o "undergo" as a quasi-accusative. Verbal categories such as tense are expressed periphrastically. Grand Master Plan 6836 48680 2009-08-29T07:05:31Z Melroch 31 '''Grand Master Plan''' is a jocular term orignally used by Andrew Smith to describe the [[wp:historical phonology|historical phonology]] of [http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/introduction.html Brithenig] as the [[wp:plan|plan]] for how to turn Latin into a language similar to Welsh, with reference to ''master plan'' as a term for the [[wp:Conspiracy theory|hidden agenda]] of a [[wp:cabal|cabal]]. Later used for the historical phonology of any [[bogolang]], and then by extension for the historical phonology of any [[histlang]], virtually becoming a conlangers' in-group synonym for ''historical phonology''. [[Category:Terminology]] Bogolang 6837 52104 2010-03-03T19:23:03Z DCliche 1352 '''Bogolang''' is a jocular term, popularized, but not coined, by [http://www.compulink.co.uk/~morven/index.html Geoff Eddy], for the result of ''[http://www.compulink.co.uk/~morven/lang/bogo.html bogo-linguistics]'', the process of creating a conlang by applying a model ("[[Grand Master Plan]]") of the [[wp:historical phonology|historical phonology]] of one [[wp:natlang|natlang]] to another, usually more or less [[wp:linguistic kinship|unrelated]] natlang. During December 2009, this term was criticized on the CONLANG list, on the grounds that it, at a glance, seems to have the same meaning as "[[jokelang]]". Terms such as "dialang" and "graftlang" were proposed, by a consensus was never reached.

You must email your ballot from the same address you used to subscribe to conlang_learners. # The vote-counters will independently count the ballots sometime between September 8 and September 15. They'll email each other privately with the detailed results of their count to check each other's work. # Once the volunteers are satisfied they've counted the votes accurately, they'll announce the results to the conlang_learners mailing list (and perhaps in other places; see below). # If we already have permission to use the chosen conlang, we'll dive in and start using it. If not, we'll try again to contact the conlang's creator, and if we don't get permission, we'll go to the runner-up from the voting and use it if we already have permission, ask permission if we don't, and iterate if necessary. # The vote counters could announce to the list that they've finished counting the votes, and will announce the result live on a certain IRC channel at a certain date and time. In that event, they should privately contact the creator of the chosen conlang, get their permission if we don't already have it, and make sure the date and time for the IRC meet suits the conlang creator as well as all the vote counters, before making an announcement. # The vote counters might, depending on the patterns they see in the voting, recommend a split into two groups studying different languages, or not. If they don't recommend a split but a significant minority of list members are unhappy with the conlang chosen by the vote, said minority should probably get together to organize another vote, by whatever method and criteria for eligibility they choose, a little later on. # It would be nice to announce the vote count results on 17 September, the feast day of St. Hildegard of Bingen, assuming the vote counters are finished verifying and counting the ballots, and the availability of the chosen conlang, by then. # The vote counters ought to post detailed results of the IRV vote-counting process, probably on FrathWiki. See for instance [http://www.noreascon.org/hugos/hugodetails.html these detailed voting break-downs for the Hugo Award,] which uses essentially the same kind of instsant-runoff voting we'll use. # Besides on the conlang_learners list, it would be good to announce the results of the voting and the beginning of the real conlang-learning phase of the project on other conlanging fora: ZBB, CONLANG, AUXLANG, worldlangslist, LiveJournal Conlangs Community, etc...?

Kí Sofronis eru. Ši rí<sup>2</sup> swé wámejis?<sup>1</sup><br> - Marie: Marie wámus<sup>1</sup>. Málajč ér<sup>3</sup>. Swád ery, Sofronis?<br> - Sofronis: Elladajád. Ši rí?<br> - Marie: Fransád.<br> - Sofronis: Ši hí, mé ér?<br> - Marie: Hí Ana Elladajád ér. Čwesačan ér. Kí kokwe<sup>5</sup>.<br> - Sofronis: Kí kokwe<sup>5</sup> čwesačan eru. Ši lak mon, mé er?<br> - Marie: Ó<sup>4</sup> lást Petru. Ó popítačan láncu ér.<br> - Sofronis: Good morning, mrs.!<br> - Marie: Good morning!<br> - Sofronis: Nice to meet you (lit. ''It's a pleasure''). I am Sofronis. What's your name (lit. ''How are you called?'')<br> - Marie: My name's Marie (lit. ''I am called Marie''). Nice to meet you. Where are you from, Sofronis?<br> - Sofronis: From Greece. And you? (''polite form'')<br> - Marie: From France.<br> - Sofronis: And she, who is she?<br> - Marie: She is Ana from Greece. She's student. And me too (lit. ''I also'').<br> - Sofronis: And I am a student too. And this man, who is he?<br> - Marie: Mr. Petru. He's (the) teacher of Lantian.<br> * <sup>1</sup> The name isn't asked as in English (even if you can build such a sentence ''Máke townon úk ér?'', it won't sound suitable), but with the passive form of the verb '''wámor''', ''to call'': '''Swé wámecis?''' - literally ''How are you called (by name)?'' * <sup>2</sup> When two people meet and don't know each other they don't use the singular 2nd person '''to''' (''thou''), but make use of a polite form, which coincides with the ''second plural person'' form '''rí'''. Verbs have to agree with this person, and also pronouns, but not adjectives neither nouns: '''Mó toljuj?''' - ''What are you doing?''; '''Valmu ža ply rijo znodža''' - ''I think I already know you''. * <sup>3</sup> To reply an introduction the polite form ''nice to meet you'' is translated as ''it's a pleasure to meet you'' - '''tó bejznódor málajč ér''', when the first part of the sentences is dropped as implied: you simply have to answer '''Málajč ér!''' * <sup>4</sup> The article '''ó''' comes before the word '''lást''', which means ''mister'', differently from English. The article comes before every definite word, only except personal and geographical nouns. Here the word '''lást''' is definite and it's not a personal noun, even if followed by a personal one, so the article is present. * <sup>5</sup> '''Kokwe''', meaning ''also'', ''too'', always follows the nouns and pronouns, which is linked to. ==Máke rijunon twák ér? - What's your job?== - L. Brown: Rýžač<sup>1</sup>, lást, popítačan ery?<br> - L. Asenov: Ét, popítačan ét eru!<br> - L. Brown: Máke<sup>2</sup> rijunon twák ér?<br> - L. Asenov: Indžineren<sup>3</sup> twaču, ýbo čuk inglišoko čwesu. Ši rí, mé ery?<br> - L. Brown: Kí Henry Brown eru, biznesmén. Málajč ér!<br> - L. Asenov: Málajč ér, Hristo Asenov. Swád ery, lást Brown?<br> - L. Brown: Núčelačýd Mjáwejýd Amerikaw (''alt.'': NMA-jýd)! Ši rí, swád ery?<br> - L. Asenov: Bylgariajád aču!<br> - Mr. Brown: Sorry (lit. ''Excuse''), mister, are you teacher?<br> - Mr. Asenov: No, I am not teacher!<br> - Mr. Brown: What is your job?<br> - Mr. Asenov: I work as engineer, but now I am studying English. And you, who are you?<br> - Mr. Brown: I am Henry Brown, business man. Nice to meet you!<br> - Mr. Asenov: Nice to meet you, Hristo Asenov. Where are you from, mr. Brown?<br> - Mr. Brown: From the United States of America (''alt.'': from USA)! And you, where are you from?<br> - Mr. Asenov: I come from Bulgaria!<br> * <sup>1</sup> The apologizing form is expressed by the verb '''rýžor''', conjugated in imperative form: '''rýž''' - ''Excuse me'' (to someone you know); '''rýžač''' (to someone you don't know or to many people); '''rýžače''' (to two people). The object form is optional: '''kijo rýž''' is an optional way of apologizing. A more polite form involves the optative mood as a question: '''kijo rýžij?''' - ''Would you like to excuse me?'' * <sup>2</sup> Here the English pronoun ''what'' ('''má''') is replaced with '''máke''' (''which''), because it fits better with the sentence as an adjectival pronoun. * <sup>3</sup> The verb '''twákor''' (''to work'') expresses its object (the kind of work) with the ''instrumental case'', instead of a particle as English ''as'': '''popítačanen twaču''' - ''I work as teacher''. ==Swot ó lást Petru ér? - Where is Mr. Petru?== - Ln. Peta: Déno nóšfadžo!<br> - L. Vine: Déno nóšfadžo!<br> - Ln. Peta: Ono lásto Petruwo tyrcu. Rí ery?<br> - L. Vine: Ét, kí ét eru<sup>1</sup>.<br> - Ln. Peta: Lak ó bjuró onu lástu Petrú ér?<br> - L. Vine: De! Ét krópuc<sup>2</sup>. Ó lást Petru lakot néremot twače, ýbo čuk ét ájér<sup>3</sup>.<br> - Ln. Peta: Ši swot ér?<br> - L. Vine: Šiko néremo sáljej?<br> - Ln. Peta: Mákewo?<br> - L. Vine: Pjuvot onot voremožot!<br> - Ln. Peta: De?<br> - L. Vine: Lak ó bjuró onu direktoru ér. Ó lást Petru kájot ér. Ýbo pu-dénum zao ájot kánjač<sup>4</sup><br> - Ln. Peta: Dénum. Džanu!<br> - L. Vine: Dólbu!<br> - Mrs, Peta: Good morning!<br> - Mr. Vine: Good morning!<br> - Mrs. Peta: I am looking for mr. Petru. It is you?<br> - Mr. Vine: No, it's not me.<br> - Mrs. Peta: Is this the office of mr. Petru?<br> - Mr. Vine: Yes! You're not wrong. Mr. Petru works in this room, but now there isn't.<br> - Mrs. Peta: And where is he?<br> - Mr. Vine: Do you see that room?<br> - Mrs. Peta: Which one?<br> - Mr. Vine: On the right in the corridor!<br> - Mrs. Peta: Yes?<br> - Mr. Vine: That's the office of the director. Mr. Petru is there. Ma it's better if you wait for him here (lit. ''but better wait for him here'')<br> - Mrs. Peta: Well. Thank you!<br> - Mr. Vine: You're welcome!<br> * <sup>1</sup> The verb '''ervuč''' doesn't require a direct object in accusative as English ''to be''. The object of the verb is in ''nominative case'' (as in many languages of the world), and a sentence like ''it's not me'', should be translated as '''kí ét eru''' - ''I am not'', with the pronoun to highlight the person. * <sup>2</sup> The English construction ''to be wrong'' is expressed by the verb '''krópuč''', which also means ''to make an error''. '''Valmu ža krópavec''' - ''I think you were wrong''. * <sup>3</sup> The English construction ''to be there'' is expressed by the single verb '''ájervuč''', a compound form of ''ervuč'': '''Króp ájér''' - ''There is an error''. * <sup>4</sup> This sentence has a different construction in the two languages. In English it is divided in two clauses, because the part ''it's better'' holds an entire second clause. In Lantian it's better to compose a single sentence, by using ''better'' ('''pu-dénum''') as adverb, and the verb goes in imperative. It is also possible to compose two clauses as in English, building a sentences like: '''Ýbo pu-dén ér, ža zao ájot kánjaj''', but this construction is avoided if possible. ==Mó toljuc? - What are you doing?== - Hristo: Ehoj, Marie!<br> - Marie: Ehoj, Hristo! Dénum okátjáv! Asátj!<br> - Hristo: Džanu! Swé erc? Mó toljuc?<br> - Marie: Dénum eru. Džanu! Lójyo porejoy láncot čwesu.<br> - Hristo: Vnosy eruk?<br> - Marie: Ét! Majtaftóč minutyt<sup>1</sup> sgoton tekersu.<br> - Hristo: Vnosyo porejoy ply znodžec ši dénum lánco malžec!<br> - Marie: Džanu! Ervomš méske vnosum ralu ši nočalum lánco ša<sup>2</sup> láncyen vjéšajeyn malžu.<br> - Hristo: Gnawtum! Swot Ana ér?<br> - Marie: Tálenawrot ér. Skjáwandžijo čwese. Ájot na 18.00 h.<sup>3</sup> tekerse.<br> - Hristo: Dénum. Ájot hijo tekánjesu.<br> - Hristo: Hello, Marie!<br> - Marie: Hello, Hristo! Welcome! Come in!<br> - Hristo: Thank you! How are you? What are you doing?<br> - Marie: I'm fine. Thanks! I'm studying new words in Lantian.<br> - Hristo: Are they many?<br> - Marie: No! I'll be ready in fifteen minutes.<br> - Hristo: You already know many words and speak well Lantian!<br> - Marie: Thank you! Maybe because I read very much and I speak only Lantian with Lantian friends.<br> - Hristo: Sure! Where is Ana?<br> - Marie: She's in the library. She's studying biology. She will be here at 6.00 pm.<br> - Hristo: Good. I'll wait for her here.<br> * <sup>1</sup> When you express a period of time, which an action is carried out in, this period is stated in ''locative case'': '''kájot nočot minutot tekersu''' - ''I'll be there in one minute''. * <sup>2</sup> The preposition '''ša''' is translated with the same preposition (''with'') as the simple ''instrumental case''. The preposition express a meaning of companionship, instead the simple case has a meaning of something being used (as a tool, usually a thing). * <sup>3</sup> Hour time is expressed by the preposition '''na''' with the ''accusative case'': '''na vát húrejoy''' - ''at 8.00 am''. ==Swot étoljenajot ervec? - Where were you on holiday?== - Mark: Ehoj, Pétr!<br> - Pétr: Ehoj, Mark! Swot étoljenajot ervec?<br> - Mark: Nočovum onás stuvás kijunywon lájačanetu rójevu, ši počle nwínás<sup>1</sup>.<br> - Pétr: Swíz nwínot ervec?<br> - Mark: Ód ono tóčovo dó onas džistóč paljovás<sup>2</sup> juljú<sup>3</sup>.<br> - Pétr: Swé ó vréma erev?.<br> - Mark: Vnosum méra erev! Keldžov, lošžwin...<br> - Pétr: Ši ó hranu?<br> - Mark: Dén, ýbo undov<br> - Pétr: Nočen ervec?<br> - Mark: Ét. Bánon vámil erven, kijun milson<sup>4</sup> ši kijunyn píkuj kokwe. Ši to, swás rójevec?<br> - Pétr: Dóčuk twačevu. Kijunon étoljena tečaldže tefadžo, ód ono džistóčovo<sup>2</sup> awgústu<sup>3</sup> dó onás bárzás septembriw. Itáliajás ši Espanjajás terójesu.<br> - Mark: Oh, Itáliajás ši Espanjajás?<br> - Pétr: De, ýbo lako ýswo nočen tekersu?<br> - Mark: Ša townen milsonen<sup>4</sup> ét tekersec?<br> - Pétr: Ét. Hí ši ony píkuj mázujás onču pralájačanetu eruk.<br> - Mark: Dénum. Déno étoljenawo!<br> - Pétr: Džanu!<br> - Mark: Hi, Pétr!<br> - Pétr: Hi, Mark! Where were you on holiday?<br> - Mark: First, I went in the village of my parents, and after to the beach (lit. ''to the sea'').<br> - Pétr: When were you at the beach (lit. ''at the sea'')?<br> - Mark: From 10th to 24th July.<br> - Pétr: How was the weather?.<br> - Mark: It was very beautiful! Warm, sunny...<br> - Pétr: And the feed?<br> - Mark: Good, but expensive.<br> - Pétr: You were alone?<br> - Mark: No. We were the entire family (lit. ''all the family''), my wife and my children too. And you, where did you go?<br> - Pétr: I worked until now. My holidays start tomorrow, from 20th August until the end of September. I will go in Italy and Spain.<br> - Mark: Oh, Italy and Spain?<br> - Pétr: Yes, but this year I will be alone?<br> - Mark: You won't go with your wife?<br> - Pétr: No. She and the children are at their grandparents' home.<br> - Mark: Well. Have a good holiday (lit. ''Good holiday'')!<br> - Pétr: Thanks!<br> * <sup>1</sup> When you generically say that someone goes to the beach, thought as the seaside place, you have to say '''nwínás''', ''to the sea'', or '''nwínot''', ''at the sea'': '''nwínás terójesu''' - ''I'll go to the beach''. The locative form '''nwínot''' has both meaning of ''at the sea'' and ''in the sea''. The second meaning can be specified by a preposition: '''vnosy lujdaj výn nwínot skjaček''' - ''many fishes live inside the sea'' * <sup>2</sup> The date is expressed with a ordinal number as in English (as if it were implied the term '''fád''' - ''day''), and it should be preceded by the article: '''lakfadžo ó paljov marcu ér''' - ''today is the 4th March''. * <sup>3</sup> After a date the name of the month is linked with the date by declining in ''genitive form'': '''ono klikaftóčovo janváru rójev''' - ''he went the 13th of January'' * <sup>4</sup> '''Milson''' - ''wife'' belongs to the group of relative nouns which don't require the definite adjective when preceded by the possessive adjective. Also the nouns '''nát''' - ''father'', '''héd''' - ''mother'', '''vokeš''' - ''son'', '''vokšte''' - ''daughter'', '''monson''' - ''husband'', '''milson''' - ''wife'', and other nouns of minor relatives, only in the singular: '''Towno nátwo sáljevu''' - ''I saw your father'' ==Mé šik mila ér? - Who is that woman?== - Hans: Pétr, mé šik mila ér?<br> - Pétr: Žana Peta, vjéša kijunu máwriw<br> - Hans: Vnosum méra ér.<br> - Pétr: De, méra ér. Hijuneton nénet<sup>1</sup> domešvi eruke ši hijunyjon vlohšy dlyg ši vryn eruk.<br> - Hans: Ši šik mon blúz Žanajot?<br> - Pétr: Hiju monson ér. Za osterrajčar indžiner ér.

Pali yšy mijčuna<sup>3</sup> vikšteja esuk ši mánéj lučery mijčuna<sup>3</sup> vokeša esuk.<br> - Hans: Swot skjaček?<br> - Pétr: Vínot, ýbo čuk lójo firmawo vojunon malmajot páluke<sup>2</sup>. Žana vnosum fami ér, méske hijuneton lájačanet<sup>1</sup>, hijun marí ši bányjon hijuny nalájačany ájot skjaček.<br> - Hans: Pétr, who is that woman?<br> - Pétr: Žana Peta, a friend of my sister<br> - Hans: She's very beautiful.<br> - Pétr: Yes, she's beautiful. Her eyes are azure and her hair are long and black.<br> - Hans: And that man near Žana?<br> - Pétr: He's her husband. He's an Austrian engineer. He works in a company in Vienna.<br> - Hans: He's nice. They are a beautiful couple. And that is their car?<br> - Pétr: Yes!<br> - Hans: And do they have children?<br> - Pétr: Two. Their daughter is 4 years old, and their son some months old.<br> - Hans: Where do they live?<br> - Pétr: In Vienna, but now they open a new company in our country. Žana is very happy, because her parents, her brother and all her relatives live here.<br> * In this dialogue we can see an extensive use of the ''dual'' number, in nouns<sup>1</sup>, verbs<sup>2</sup>, adjectives<sup>3</sup>, pronouns<sup>4</sup>. Usually the dual number points a group of two beings or things, even if not specified by the number. The number '''džis''', ''two'' in used only as a simple number, when there is no noun to decline in dual form<sup>5</sup>. The dual is used implicitly when we speak about a couple, or about nouns which usually come in pair, as '''nén''' - ''eye'', '''jind''' - ''ear'', '''ráka''' - ''hand'', '''krawk''' - ''arm'', '''oliš''' - ''leg'', '''lájačan''' - ''parent'': '''Kijuneton rákat míču''' - ''I wash my hands'' (I don't want to say that I have two hands, it's an implied fact, and it should '''''not''''' be translated ''I wash my two hands''). * The use of plural and dual numbers allows to express some nuances, that are not expressed in English. In this part of the dialogue: : ... : - Hans: Swot '''skjaček'''?<br> : - Pétr: Vínot, ýbo čuk lójo firmawo vojunon mjáwejot '''páluke'''. .. : As they just spoke about the entire family, Hans asks where they (all four people) live, with the plural form, but when Pétr answers that they want to open an own company in his country, he uses the dual form, because it is implied that's not their little children's intention. ==Banum kijo štomec? - Do you really invite me?== - Julie: Alo, Elena, ehoj!<br> - Elena: Ehoj Julie!<br> - Julie: Mó toljuc? Vnos twák<sup>1</sup> toja és<sup>2</sup>?<br> - Elena: De.. kija és<sup>2</sup>.

Have you got much housework?<br> - Elena: Yes.. I have. I clean the house, wash the windows and listen to the music.<br> - Julie: Last week I washed the windows and cleaned the house too. The housework never ends. I am with a colleague, to drink a coffee. You too, come!<br> - Elena: Do you really invite me?<br> - Julie: Yes, I'm inviting you. Therefore I called you.<br> - Elena: And your colleague? Do I know him?<br> - Julie: Yes! You know him.<br> - Elena: And I like him?<br> - Julie: Eh, I don't know, but I know he likes you.<br> - Elena: Who is he?<br> - Julie: Don't ask more! It's a surprise!<br> - Elena: Well! I wash myself, get dressed and I will be there in half an hour.<br> - Julie: We're waiting for you!<br> * <sup>1</sup> '''Twák''', has a more extended meaning than its English translation ''work''. It encompasses a meaning of ''things to do'', and also ''housework'', ''matters'' * <sup>2</sup> The verb '''esor''', ''to have'' as seen in the grammar page, has an highly irregular conjugation, by comparison with other Lantian verbs, and its construction is very different from the English one. The owned thing becomes the subject, ''nominative case'', of the sentence, and the possessor is in ''dative case'', a construction called ''dative of possession'' (even if possession is usually expressed by ''genitive''). So the difference is deep, because what it's the object in English, it comes to be the subject of the Lantian sentence, and the English subject loses its primary role and turns into a indirect object. You should pay attention at this, expecially when another sentence is linked to a main sentence with this verb, and you have to remember that the verb has to agree with its new subject, the owned thing. :* ''Mr. Petru has a car'' - '''awto ona lásta Petruja és''' :* ''I have two dogs'' - '''bóget kija esuke''' * <sup>3</sup> '''ivná''' never has a negative meaning. Its only single translation is ''ever''. To translate ''never'', this word must be linked with the negative particle '''ét''' (''not''), which always follows it before the verb. :* ''Have you ever been in Italy?'' - '''Itáliajot ivná ervec?''' :* ''I've never been there'' - '''Kájot ivná ét ervu''' * <sup>4</sup> The verb '''wámor''' (''to call'') and its compounds, like '''páwámor''' (''to call by phone''), support the ''dative case'' to show the called thing/person: '''toja tepáwámesu''' - ''I'll call you''. Nevertheless the verb has a normal passive counterpart. * <sup>5</sup> The verb '''málor''' (''to like'') has a different construction from its English counterpart. The liked thing/person becomes the subject, ''nominative case'', of the sentence, and the thing/persons, who likes, goes in ''dative case'', a construction called ''dative of pleasure''. You should pay attention at this, expecially when another sentence is linked to a main sentence with this verb, and you have to remember that the verb has to agree with its new subject, the liked thing. (In many languages of the world, the verb ''to like'' behaves in this way, so it won't be difficult to learn): :* ''I like you'' - '''To kija málec''' :* ''Her parents don't like me'' - '''Hijunečun lájačanetu ét málu''' * <sup>6</sup> The verb '''caduč''' (''to ask'') has a different construction from its English counterpart. The thing, which is asked for, becomes the direct object, ''accusative case'', of the sentence, and the person who is asked, goes in ''dative case'', a construction called ''dative of request''. The subject remains the same: :* ''I ask you for help'' - '''Toja twákwo cadžu''' * <sup>7</sup> The reflexive pronoun ('''sí''') shows that the action of the verbs falls on the subject of the action itself, like the English reflexive pronouns (''myself, yourself''..). But there are many more reflexive verbs in Lantian than in English, because many of them are translated in English with a different construction, like '''sijo púnemor''', expressed in English with ''to get dressed''. It has a reflexive meaning because it is thought as ''I put a dress on myself'', i.e. ''I dress myself''. ==Lójo twákwo tečalžesu! - I'm going to begin a new work!== - Julie: Ehoj, Elena!<br> - Elena: Ehoj, Julie!

Marko Stanković is still riding the cloud of euphoria that has come with finally canonizing both the phonology and the first declension paradigm (out of an expected five) of his long-underdeveloped first attempt at a conlang. [[Dwekoenish]] is a baroque but playful mishmash of elements of Indo-European (especially, but not exclusively, from the Satem branch) and Uralic languages, designed purely for my own aesthetic pleasure. It is decently naturalistic but makes no attempt to be historically plausible. In the meantime, my pet project is an as-yet unnamed Germanic stealthlang. It's intended to be easily learned by speakers of English, and it liberally borrows grammatical concepts from auxiliary languages like Esperanto (while still attempting to retain an at least superficial Germanic character). It is also, however, not without its fair share of quirks (such as the absence of high vowels!).

Voicing distinctions are ignored. ===7 coronals=== The champion, Toda, wins by contrasts fricatives not only by POA but also by sibilancy: *dental /θ s̪/ *alveolar /ɬ s/ *retroflex /ɬ̠ ʂ/ *postalveolar /ʃ/ Note that laterality appears here to be simply the [[surface realization]] of post-dental non-sibilants (which is natural, since retroflex [[spirant]]s do not exist). ===5 coronals=== A number of Na-Dene languages such as Gwich'in and Hän have the following inventory: *dental /θ/ *lateral /ɬ/ *alveolar /s/ *retroflex /ʂ/ *postalveolar /ʃ/ A variation in Tahltan swaps /ʂ/ for a palatal /ç/. Ubyx, from Caucasus, has a maximal sibilant inventory as /s ʂ ʃ ɕ/ but does not contain /θ/. The African Dahalo has a variation with multiple laterals: /ɬ ɬʲ ɬʷ s ʃ/ (technically, that's a fully palatal lateral, but the symbol is unavailable). ===4 coronals=== Here, by far the most typical system is dental-lateral-alveolar-postalveolar /θ ɬ s ʃ/, found in as far apart languages as [[Welsh]] and [[Burmese]], as well as numerous Na-Dene and Pacific Northwest languages including Halkomelem and Tanacross. Numerous one-off systems exist as well. *Aleut: /θ ɬ s ʂ/ (no /ʃ/, tho there is /tʃ/) *Dunneza: /ɬ s̪ s ʃ/ (basically the immediate ancestor of the "typical" system) *Phula: /ɬ s ʂ ʃ/ **Cocopah: /ɬʲ s ʂ ʃ/ *Northern Qiang: /ɬ s ʂ ɕ/ (affricates include /tʃ/ as well) *Hmong: /ɬ s ʂ ç/ *Secondary articulations: **Chilcotin: /ɫ s sˤ ʃ/ **Mongolian: /ɮ ɮʲ s ʃ/ (where /ʃ/ is pretty much //sʲ//) Note that all except Aleut and Hmong are basically /ɬ s ʃ/ plus one further fricative! ===3 coronals=== The /ɬ s ʃ/ system just noted is by a stretch the most common system here. It is particularly common in North America, for example Alsean, Chimakuan, Klallam, Muskogean, Seri, Takelma, Tera, Yuchi, Zuni. Elsewhere, examples include Caucasian languages such as Avar and African languages such as Xhosa. Other variations do still exist. *Nahuatl: no /ɬ/, only /tɬ/ */ɬ s ç/: sporadically, eg. Kwak'wala, Sekani. */ʟ̟̊ s ʃ/: sporadically: Archi, and with velar lateral affricate only, Laghuu ===2 coronals=== One might think /ɬ s/ is the only choice here. This turns out to not be the case, tho it is quite popular too (but not as popular as /ɬ s ʃ/). Examples seem to be more spred geographically, from Ge'ez to Chukchi to Haida. Affricate-only /tɬ s/ exists in Shuswap; /ɬ ʃ/ exists in at least St'at'imcets, Mikasuki and Wintu. <!--Na-Dene not done. /T K K` s[ s s` S/ -Toda /T K s s` S/ -Gwich'in, Hän /T K s S C/ -Tahltan /K Kw) C\ s S/ -Dahalo /K s s` S s\/ -Ubyx /T K s S/ -Burmese -Halkomelem, NSS, Saanich -Dene Suline, Tanacross -Welsh /T K s C/ -Aleut (also /tS/) /K s[ s S/ -Dunneza /K s s?\ C/ -Chilcotin /K s s` S/ -Phula /K s s` C/ -Hmong -N Qiang (also /tS/) /K\ 6\ s S/ -Mongolian, Kalmyk /C\ s s` S/ -Cocopah /tK s S/ -Nahuatl /K s S/ AMERIND +Alsean +Chemakuan -Klallam, SqwXwu7mesh, Tillamook -Makah, Nuu-Chah-Nulth +Muskogean +most Na-Dené -Seri -Takelma -Tera +Totonacan -Umatilla (Ventureño) -Wiyot (/S s`/ actually), Proto-Algonquin? -Yuchi -Zuni CAUCASUS -Avar (?) -Hunzib, Tsez AFRICA -Hadza -Sesotho, Xhosa, Zulu /K s C/ -Kwak'wala -Nuxalk -Sekani /F\ s S/ -Archi /kF\ s S/ -Laghuu /tK s/ -Koyukon (has /tS/) -Shuswap /K s/ -Chukchi (?) -Creek (has /tS/) -Ge'ez -Golin -Haida -Inuktitut, Kalaallisut -Maka -Oowekyala -Picuris, Taos (have /tS/) -Sandawe (has /tS/) -Yupik (has /tS/) /K S/ -Mikasuki -St'at'imcets -Wintu (lateral may be [tK]; marginal /t/) /kF\ s/ -G|wi lateral click + sibilant(s) -most of Khoisan--> Spirant 6865 48933 2009-09-04T15:40:44Z Tropylium 756 definitions etc. A '''spirant''' can be defined as any [[fricative]] that is not a [[sibilant]]. Consonants such as /[[Voiceless labiodental fricative|f]] [[Voiceless dental fricative|θ]] [[Voiceless velar fricative|x]] [[Voiceless uvular fricative|χ]]/ are generally agreed to be spirants. The spirant/sibilant contrast almost fully correlates to [[place of articulation]], with [[coronal consonant|coronal]] fricatives tending to be sibilants. The exceptions to this are the [[dental consonant|dental]] and [[alveolar consonant|alveolar]] POAs, where a contrast is possible (and the two sounds may also change to one another). Regardless, even here it usually is so that the dental spirant /θ/ is more common than the dental sibilant /s̻/, and likewise the alveolar sibilant /s/ is more common than the alveolar spirant /ɹ̝̊/. ==Sound changes involving spirants== Spirants are commonly formed by [[lenition]] of corresponding [[stop]]s - unlike sibilants, which are formed by [[assibilation]] (which is usually linked to [[palatalization]]). Similarly, [[fortition]] tends to produce stops from spirants (but [[affricate]]s from sibilants); due to this, spirant counterparts to [[affricate]]s are exceedingly rare. It is, indeed, possible to analyze a great many languages' affricates as being [[Featural phonology|featurally]] simply ''sibilant stops''.<!-- This bit should go in the "sibilant" or "affricate" article--> ==Dubious cases== Though definitely not sibilants, it is not clear if [[lateral fricatives]] (eg. /[[voiceless alveolar lateral fricative|ɬ]]/) and [[laryngeal consonants]] (eg. /[[voiceless glottal fricative|h]]/, /[[voiceless pharyngeal fricative|ħ]]/ can be included as spirants. Lateral fricatives, unlike typical spirants, commonly occur as affricates; whereas glottal fricatives behave in many ways more alike [[sonorant]]s. The [[voiceless palatal fricative]] /ç/ is occasionally described as a sibilant, but articulatorily and historically should generally be considered a spirant. {{Stub}} [[Category:Phonology]] Dvekönneść 6866 48938 2009-09-04T18:31:55Z Stelvojoj 1330 moved [[Dvekönneść]] to [[Dwekoennish]]:&#32;Makes more sense to name the page after the English transliteration of the language. #REDIRECT [[Dwekoennish]] Nasal consonant 6867 48952 2009-09-05T16:20:31Z Tropylium 756 redirect #REDIRECT [[Nasal]] Allophone 6868 51473 2010-01-13T16:04:44Z Tropylium 756 /* Discontinuous (systematic) allophones */ cat:phon A [[phoneme]] (such as /a/) is an abstract entity under which several different [[phone]]s (actual speech sounds, such as [ä], [ɐ], [ɑ], [ʌ]) are classified in a speaker's mind. These differing phones are called '''allophones''' of one another (or of the phoneme). There are two subtypes of allophones: ==Continuous (phonetic) allophones== The human articulatory organs (and likely those of any physical being) are not perfect in operation. Since features such as the exact position of the [[articulator]]s, intensity of [[phonation]], the (speaker-dependant) shape of the oral cavity, and amount of food stuck between the teeth are continuous variables, any two attempts to articulate a sound will be ever so slightly different. Acoustics of the environment have further effect on the exact sound reaching the ears of an addressee. Yet, the brain ignores all this variation and recognizes a specific sound (this is proven to involve the recognition of specific [[formant]]s' position and strength in the sound spectrum). What ''exactly'' constitutes a "specific sound" is to some extent language-dependant. Two sounds that will be identical to one person's ear (say, [ɜ] and [ə]) will be typically recognized as distinct by someone speaking a language where the sounds are contrastive. However, not even this is a hard-and-fast division: depending on the degree of [[contrastive load]], hearing or pronouncing a phoneme beyond its usual degree of variation may not matter, if [[context]] can be relied on to decipher the word. Infants, it seems, will recognize a wide range of sounds, but will lern during [[language acquisition]] what sub-range of sounds to group under a given phoneme. The total variety seen in [[natural language]]s serves as a (loose) minimum indicator of what human hearing and articulation can possibly reliably distinguish. There are no special [[IPA]] symbols for marking most continuous allophones, and the only exact way to record them is a recording of the sound itself; however, for a first approximation, diacritics such as raised/fronted/lowered/backed can be used. ==Discontinuous (systematic) allophones== It commonly occurs that a phoneme's allophones fall in two — or sometimes more — groups that are separated, ie. given some arbitrary dimension, certain intermediate realizations occur rarely, if at all. There are a number of possibilities for this. [[Featural phonology]] tells that a phoneme is not an atomic, indivisible whole: they are formed of ''features'', such as [+nasal] and [+labial]. Under this view, most discontinuous allophones can be described as differing with respect to some feature. Taking the common example of [&zwnj;[[Velar nasal|ŋ]]] as an allophone of /[[Alveolar nasal|n]]/ before [[velar consonant]]s, this allophone is distinct by having the feature [+velar] (or [+high], or [+back], depending), not included in the phoneme's own specification but inherited from the adjoining velar. [[Sound change]]s account for another class of discontinuous allophones. A sound's exact realization usually depends on what other sounds are pronounced before and after. It can be that eg. a [[velar consonant]] is influenced by a succeeding [[front vowel]] such that it becomes articulated more front, approaching the territory of [[palatal consonant]]s. This kind of a change can begin as a small extension of the phoneme's normal range of variation, that then detaches — for example, by [[assibilation]], leading to a coronal [[affricate]]. If the palatal allophones did not occur elsewhere, the phoneme's allophonic range has now split in two groups. The results can persist as a purely phonetical variation, especially if the resulting sound does not particularly resemble other phonemes existing in the language; however, if it does, or contains an articulation quite distinct from the "normal" allophones, it is likely that the divergent allophones will gain a new featural analysis. In our exemplary case it is likely that [&zwnj;[[Voiceless postalveolar affricate|tʃ]]] as an allophone of [&zwnj;[[Voiceless velar stop|k]]] would cease to be thought of as containing the feature [+velar], since the articulation no more involves the velar [[gesture]], and that the language in all likelihood does contain other coronal consonants. Speakers can in some cases, tho not all, tell apart two allophones that are phonologically distinct. Articulatory distinctions can lead to even complete split, where the two sounds are no more even mentally associated together under the same phoneme. A possible example is the concept of [[heng]]: English /h/ and /ŋ/ are in fact in [[complementary distribution]]. Yet they are thought of as distinct phonemes. The [[IPA]] is by and large designed to accommodate all discontinuous allophones found in human languages. For example, from an articulatory point of view the division of [[coronal consonant]]s to dental, alveolar, postalveolar and retroflex is arbitrary; but since no natural language divides this continuum to more than four contrastive [[Place of articulation|places of articulation]], it is quite convenient phonologically. (It can then turn out unclear if a 2-part division should be described as between eg. dental and alveolar, or dental and postalveolar, but this rarely matters.)

It is only created for the sheer challenge of creating a conlang that could potentially be spoken by as many people as possible on Earth. For this reason the phonemic inventory is rather small, and several phonological constraints exist for ease of pronunciation. Yet homonyms are avoided at all costs. Pastok has borrowed all of its words from other languages. There are 49 languages that have been especially prioritized in word borrowing and phonology: Modern Standard Arabic, Mossi (Mòoré), Yoruba, Swahili, Armenian, Albanian, Tamil, Turkish, Kazakh, Uzbek, Mongolian, Hungarian, Finnish, Vietnamese, Indonesian/Malay, Mandarin, Burmese, Thai, Quiché (K'iche'), Quechua, (Paraguayan) Guaraní, Tok Pisin, Tashelhiyt, Hausa, Oromo, Fula, Akan (Twi dialect), Kanuri, Bambara, Telugu, (White) Hmong, Persian, Hindi/Urdu, Spanish, English, Russian, Ancient Greek, Portuguese, Bengali, French, Japanese, German, Punjabi, Javanese, Marathi, Korean, Italian, Wu (Shanghai dialect), Cantonese (Canton dialect). All major language families, and major branches of the largest families, are present among these 49 languages. At least 3,88 billion, and possibly as many 8 billion people (including second language speakers) speak these languages. == Phonology == === Phoneme inventory === {| {{table}} style="background:Ivory" |+ Pulmonic consonants | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|&ensp;

|} The sounds of Pastok can be pronunced in several ways depending on what the speaker is capable of, but the most desirable pronunciations have been marked in the above tables. Each of these desirable sounds can be replaced by any other sound whose cell has the same color. The sounds in brackets are not quite phonemes because they are not contrastive. {{IPA|[ŋ]}} has complementary distribution with /n/, [f] with /p/, and [r] with /l/. The former ones can be replaced by the latter ones if the speaker can't pronunce any of the alternatives given in the above phoneme charts. {{IPA|/tʃ/}} can also be realized as a retroflex or post-alveolar fricative, if it doesn't conflict with the pronunciation of /s/.<br> <br> There are also six diphthongs: /ui, oi, ai/, [ei, ou, au]. The final /i/ could optionally be [j], and the /u/ could be [w]. The diphthongs can also be split up into two syllables, with an optional {{IPA|[ʔ]}} between. The au and ou are have [[Pastok#Complimentary_distribution|complementary distribution]] with other phonemes. === Phonological constrains === The syllable structure of Pastok is (C)V(C). The onset can be any consonant except g, while the coda can be any of m, n, g, p, t, k, f, s, l. M can't appear at the end of a word though. The allowed medial clusters are: *mp mf *nt nc ns nj nw nr nl *gk *pt ps pr pl *ft fr fl *tn tw tr tl *kn kp kt kc ks kw kr kl *sn sj sw sr sl *lm lp lf lt lk lc ls lj lw The sequences ji, wu, wo, and word-final e and m are unallowed. === Complimentary distribution === In the following list · stand for either syllable break or word boundary. *V<sub>1</sub>n - V<sub>1</sub> *au - o *ei - e *f - p *g - n *ou - o, u *r - l *s· - t· *ti - ci === Borrowing scheme === When borrowing words, the word might need to be changed to fit Pastok's phonological constrains. Generally, e is used to split up non-word final consonant clusters, while o is used at the end of words. If possible, the vowel is placed so that the consonants are still adjacent. Here some other rules, which take precedence over the above: *<nowiki>#</nowiki>CiV > CijV *<nowiki>#</nowiki>CuV > CuwV (but see ''wo'' and ''wu'' below) *Cː > C *CCiV > CCijV *CCuV > CCuwV (but see ''wo'' and ''wu'' below) *Vː > V *Vst > Vt *eu > e *iV > jV *ji > i *m# > mo *r· > l· *wo > o *wu > u == Grammars == === Prepositions === Pasetok has four locational prepositions, which are often used together with location nouns. *'''Tou''' has the meaning that something is located somewhere, like the words ''in'', ''on'' and ''at'' in English. *'''Ta''' has the meaning that something is coming from somewhere, like the word ''from'' in English. *'''Si''' means that something is going somewhere, like the words ''to'' and ''for'' in English. *'''Menten''' is used for telling what way something is going, like the words ''along'', ''through'' and ''via'' in English. See [[Pasetok#Location|Location]] for examples of how locational relations are expressed. === Syntax === ==== Location ==== Location is usually expressed by a locational preposition followed by a noun in genitive and a locational noun. The preposition tells the direction: to, from, along or not moving. The locational noun (LOC.NOUN) tells the actual place. The locational can be combined with the prefix ka-, which means that the subject has physical contact with the place. In the following list, the different ways of telling location has been likened to different noun cases. *'''Adessive''' - ''tou'' NOUN GEN ''fukan''. *'''Apudessive''' - ''tou'' NOUN GEN ''wijeri''. *'''Inessive''' - ''tou'' NOUN GEN ''in''. *'''Intrative''' - ''tou'' NOUN and NOUN GEN ''aita''. *'''Pertingent''' - ''tou'' NOUN GEN ''ka-''LOC.NOUN. *'''Subessive''' - ''tou'' NOUN GEN ''alat''. *'''Superessive''' - ''tou'' NOUN GEN ''(ka)-soharu''. *'''Ablative''' - ''ta'' NOUN GEN fukan *'''Delative''' - ''ta'' NOUN GEN ''(ka)-soharu''. *'''Egressive, initiative''' - ''ta'' NOUN (GEN LOC.NOUN). *'''Elative''' - ''ta'' NOUN (GEN ''in''). *'''Allative''' - ''si NOUN GEN ''fukan''. *'''Illative''' - ''si'' NOUN GEN ''in''. *'''Terminative''' - ''si/tou'' NOUN (GEN LOC.NOUN). *'''Perlative (penetrating)''' - ''menten'' NOUN GEN ''aita''. *'''Perlative (going through a space)''' - ''menten NOUN GEN ''in''. *'''Prosecutive''' - ''menten'' NOUN GEN ''soharu''. *'''Vialis''' - with NOUN GEN use. *'''Temporal (at an exact point of time)''' - ''tou'' TIME.NOUN (GEN ''in''). *'''Temporal (around some time)''' - ''tou'' TIME.NOUN GEN ''fukan''. *'''Temporal (sometime during a time span)''' - ''tou'' TIME.NOUN GEN ''aita''. *'''Benefactive''' - ''si'' NOUN (GEN sake). *'''Dative, orientative''' - ''si'' NOUN. *'''Exessive''' - ''ta'' NOUN (GEN LOC.NOUN) (''si'' NOUN (GEN LOC.NOUN)) === Derivation === There are many derivational suffixes in Pasetok, used for creating new words. All derivational suffixes are actually shorter forms of other words with independent meanings. An -s- is added between a root that ends with a vowel and a suffix that begins with a vowel. If the root ends with, and the suffix begins with a consonant, an -e- is inserted between them. {| border="1! |+ Derivational suffixes ! Original word ! Meaning ! Suffix ! Meaning/use !

However, this rule is no longer observed strictly in modern Besanese. In modern Besanese, it is only applied in certain cases such as onomatopoeia and conjugation. There are three classes of vowels in Besanese: positive, negative and neutral. The vowel classes loosely follow the front (positive) and back (negative) vowels; they also follow orthography. Exchanging positive vowels with negative vowels usually creates different nuances of meaning, with positive vowels sounding fast, hard, solid, hot, dry, focused or aggressive, and negative vowels sounding slow, soft, insubstantial, cold, wet, diffuse or tranquil. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle; width:300px;" ! width="28%"| ! width="24%"|Neutral ! width="24%"|Positive<br />(Front) ! width="24%"|Negative<br />(Back) |- !Close |i ɨ | |u |- !Open-mid | |ɛ |ɔ |- !Open | |a | |} For diphthongs, the positive vowels are: /ja/, /jɛ/, /wa/, /wɛ/, /aɪ/, /eɪ/; and the negative vowels are: /jɔ/, /ju/, /ɔɪ/, [uɪ]~[wɪ]. All triphthongs are positive: /jaɪ/, /jeɪ/, /waɪ/, /weɪ/. === Pitch accent === [[Category:Conlangs]] Template:Lang 6872 49040 2009-09-08T13:29:48Z DesmondLee 1331 Created page with '<span lang="{{{1}}}">{{{2}}}</span>' <span lang="{{{1}}}">{{{2}}}</span> Lánc vowel scheme 6873 49729 2009-10-11T16:12:45Z Bukkia 117 {{main|Lánc}} This is an accurate '''scheme of Lantian vowels''', with their position inside the oral cavity. {| cellspacing="0px" cellpadding=0 style="text-align:left; background:transparent;" |- style="text-align:center; font-size:smaller;" | style="width:70px; text-align:right;" | | style="width:60px;" | '''Front''' | style="width:60px;" | '''Near-front''' | style="width:60px;" | '''Central''' | style="width:60px;" | '''Near-back''' | style="width:60px;" | '''Back''' |- | style="height:30px; font-size:smaller; text-align:right;" | '''Close''' | style="height:210px;" colspan=5 rowspan=7 | <div style="position:relative;"><div style="background:transparent; position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px;"> {| style="position:relative; width:300px; height:210px; text-align:right; background:transparent;" |- | style="width:300px; height:210px; text-align:center; background:transparent;" | <!-- CLOSE VOWELS --> <div style="position:absolute; left:5%; width:2.33em; top:2%; height:1.33em; font-size:120%; background:white;"> {{IPA|i(:)}}</div> <div style="position:absolute; left:44%; width:3em; top:2%; height:1.33em; font-size:120%; background:white;"> {{IPA|ɨ(:)}}</div> <div style="position:absolute; left:83%; width:3em; top:2%; height:1.33em; font-size:120%; background:white;"> {{IPA|u(:)}}</div> <!-- NEAR-CLOSE VOWELS --> <!-- CLOSE-MID VOWELS --> <div style="position:absolute; left:17%; width:2.66em; top:30%; height:1.33em; font-size:120%; background:white;"> {{IPA|e(:)}}</div> <div style="position:absolute; left:75%; width:2.66em; top:30%; height:1.33em; font-size:120%; background:white;"> {{IPA|o(:)}}</div> <!-- NEAR-OPEN VOWELS --> <!-- OPEN VOWELS --> <div style="position:absolute; left:44%; width:2.66em; top:86%; height:1.33em; font-size:120%; background:white;"> {{IPA|a(:)}}</div> |} </div></div> |- | style="height:30px; font-size:smaller; text-align:right;" | |- | style="height:30px; font-size:smaller; text-align:right;" | '''Close-mid''' |- | style="height:30px; font-size:smaller; text-align:right;" | '''Mid''' |- | style="height:30px; font-size:smaller; text-align:right;" | '''Open-mid''' |- | style="height:30px; font-size:smaller; text-align:right;" | |- | style="height:30px; font-size:smaller; text-align:right;" | '''Open''' |} :''This scheme is showed separately because some browsers cannot display it properly''.

Thus, some /p t tʲ k/ alternate with /b d dʲ g/. In some dialects initial prenasal stops denasalize to yield new voiced stops; in some others initial /w/, /j/ → /b~g/, /dʲ/. Also, in some dialects /p/ can become [ɸ] intervocally. A more frequent dialectal (incl. colloquial standard speech) feature is the palatalization of /s l/ to /sʲ lʲ/ near front vowels, which tends to go with velarization of remaining /l/. More innovating dialects (which also realize /sʲ tʲ (n)dʲ/ as [ɕ tɕ (n)dʑ]) palatalize /ʃ/ as well. /w-/ does not occur before difthongs ending in /w/. ===Vowels=== {| |- | i || || ɯ || u |- | e || ø || || || |- | æ || || ɑ || ɔ~ɒ |} Vowels are long in an initial syllable, except before a consonant cluster (incl. prenasal stops).

Distribution of the /iV/ difthongs and /ou/ is somewhat limited: they may only occur in monosyllables. The Biru dialect has added a stop at the end of monosyllabic words ending in a high vowel, if no coda otherwise exists: * /i/ → /idʲ/ * /ɯ/ → /ɯg/ * /u iu eu au ou/ → /ub ib eb ab ob/ Roots are either of the form (C)V(C) or (C)VC{ə, ɨ}C. In bisyllabic roots, the V2 arkiphonemes become /i e/ near palatals, and remain approximately [ɯ ə] otherwise; also, the coda must be either an obstruent or a liquid. ===Semicompatible dump=== /pil/ /sʲin/ /wik/ /ŋgip/ /rinʲəs/ /iu/ /dek/ /dek-s/ /derəm/ /tʲeŋg/ /we/ /keŋg/ /neʃ/ /jek/ /sedʲət/ /wæm/ /sʲæk/ /wæl/ /æ/ /tønʲ/ /søp/ /køt/ /møtət/ /sɯ/ /ŋgɯr/ /pɯ/ /tʲɯt/ /lɯp/ /tʲarəp/ /warət/ /ʃan/ /ʃand/ /lak/ /at/ /kau/ /samb/ /mbuk/ /dun/ /mugə/ /sum/ /sut/ /sudək/ /wus/ /tʃu/ /pu/ /rul/ Conlang learners/Vote result 6875 49071 2009-09-09T10:21:03Z Pne 17 /* Languages voted for */ With total number of votes in parentheses.

Because the nation is so small there is no need for both clans and circles. There is the national tribe and each deme has a clan. The clan names are of marine animals. The tribe is the seagrass tribe. **Amoulián has the turtle clan. The Amoulián turtle is the [[Wikipedia:Loggerhead Sea Turtle|loggerhead]], ''C. caretta''. The name in Athonite is <font color=blue>καρέτ</font>), ''karét'', so the clan is the <font color=blue>καρετοπάτρι</font>, ''karetopátri''. **Prosforion has the seal clan. The Prosforion seal is the critically endangered [[Wikipedia:Mediterranean Monk Seal|Mediterranean monk seal]], ''M. monachus'', known in Athonite as <font color=blue>μεσογιάκ φώκι</font>, ''mesogiák fōki'', so the clan is the <font color=blue>φωκιπάτρι</font>, ''fōkipátri''. **Aktí has the dolphin clan. The Aktí dolphin is the very popular [[Wikipedia:Bottlenose Dolphin|bottlenose dolphin]], ''Tursiops truncatus''. Dolphin in Athonite is <font color=blue>δελφίν</font>, ''delfín'', so the clan is the <font color=blue>δελφινιπάτρι</font>, ''delfinipátri''. *These four animals are found in the Mediterranean Sea around Greece. Note that all these animals are air-breathing marine animals, symbolizing the Seaguards’ own love for the sea, but need to breathe air. *Each KP also takes a marine animal as his/her personal totem, which could also include birds that fish in the sea. ====Guiding Seaguards==== *The clans are under the supervision and guidance of members of the MR Coast Guard. These men and women are skilled in activities both on and under the water. The Coast Guard units in each of the demes actively support the KPs in their deme. Each gendarmerie station has a building or room(s) dedicated for the use of the KPs. ====The Uniform==== *The KP uniform is a modification of the gendarme uniform, that is, dark blue trousers, shorts or skirt, and a light blue short-sleeved shirt, open at the collar so that the necklace shows. The shorts and skirts are worn with light blue knee-high socks; the trousers with standard light blue socks. *The necklace is not made of beads but of shells, or pieces of shells, and is made by the individual KP. *Blue denim trousers or shorts with a blue cambric shirt are worn in the field. *The KP has a coat-of-arms, a patch of which is worn on the left shoulder of the shirt. **It consists of a shield, the field of which is bleu-celeste, a fillet pall wavy azure. **In the top third is the clan animal, the other two thirds containing the animals of the other clans: ***for the turtle clan, a sea turtle vert naiant, ***for the dolphin clan, a dolphin argent naiant, ***and for the seal clan, a seal proper couchant. ====Funding==== *The organization is funded by members’ activities. Items the Seaguards have made are sold at the various celebrations that take place throughout the year on the deme plazas. They also staff a booth from time to time in the market place. And contributions are solicited from local businesses. ====Activities==== *One of the major activities of the Seaguards is cleaning up the waters and the sea bottom of the MR’s protected waters. The Seaguards do the work as volunteers, but the expense of the logistics is covered by the government. Another major activity is the care of the beds of seagrass; new beds are planted around the peninsula and in the Xerxes Canal to stabilize the substrate. They are also called upon to help in the rescue of beached or wounded animals. **The Amoulián clan cares for the waters surrounding the islands; **the Prosforion clan, the waters of the west coast, **and the Aktí clan, the waters of the east coast. ====Cape Ramble==== *Several times a year, when the weather is good and the Seaguards are off from school, the clans take a walk around Cape Akrotis from the Xerxes Canal to the border of the Holy Mountain (this is clockwise). This is known as the Cape Ramble. Each clan makes the ramble annually. *While on the ramble, they study the ecosystems, clean up the beaches, and have fun camping. They are accompanied by their Coast Guard supervisors and others knowledgeable in the ecosystems and in various crafts. *If there are any girls on the ramble, there must be at least one woman with them. *The ramble is made in four days: **1) from the Canal to the Aoun wheatfield, **2) from the wheatfield to the lighthouse, **3) from the lighthouse to halfway down the cape, **4) and from that point to the border with the Holy Mountain. *The KPs gather in Aktí on Monday. The ramble begins Tuesday morning. The KPs are picked up by boat on Saturday and returned to Aktí.

From 1 to 8 September, we [[conlang_learners/Voting|voted]]; on 9 September the [[Conlang learners/Vote result|results of the vote]] were announced, a tie between [[Kēlen]] and [[gjâ-zym-byn]]. We will probably discuss and decide on another conlang to learn at some point in the future; intervals of six months to a year have been mentioned for recurrently selecting and learning something. The conlang_learners mailing list will remain available for that purpose. Learners of the chosen conlangs will use separate mailing lists for each language; the [http://groups.google.com/group/gjax-zym-byn gjâ-zym-byn Google Group] and [http://lists.conlang.org/listinfo.cgi/kelen-conlang.org a new list at conlang.org for Kēlen].

Each word is taken to specify the role played by one participant in the overall action described by the sentence. The language is strictly monotransitive - there is always one noun for each verb. The word order is used to express the flow of the action between the participants in the sentence, and to group related participants together. File:Arophanic Family Tree.png 6900 49328 2009-09-23T18:17:32Z Denihilonihil 119 Lánc syntax 6901 53042 2010-04-17T12:41:15Z Bukkia 117 /* Consecutio temporum */ {{main|Lánc}} In this page we are going to discuss the most important '''syntactical rules''' of the Lantian language. : ''Lakot vanéjot saj-wažúmyojon '''sintaksáryo núrmanjyo''' láncun móru tenamálžesen'' ==Word order== The main word order is '''SOV''', thus the parts of a sentences are placed so: '''''Subject''''' - '''''Object''''' - '''''Verb'''''. Usually the verb is placed at the end of the sentence, after all objects. * ''<span style="color:red">The woman</span> <span style="color:green">sees</span> <span style="color:blue">the man</span>'': <span style="color:red">Ó mila</span> <span style="color:blue">ono mono</span> <span style="color:green">sálje</span> (<span style="color:red">S</span><span style="color:blue"></span>O<span style="color:green">V</span>) In a sentence with a direct and an indirect object, the indirect object (dative) tends to precede the direct one (accusative): * ''<span style="color:red">The woman</span> <span style="color:green">gives</span> <span style="color:orange">the man</span> <span style="color:blue">a book</span>'' : <span style="color:red">Ó mila</span> <span style="color:orange">ona mona</span> <span style="color:blue">tálewo</span> <span style="color:green">kále</span>. Word order is not compulsorily fixed. As the roles of nouns and of their attributes are shown by case endings, words can be placed in every position: * <span style="color:red">Ó mila</span> <span style="color:blue">ono mono</span> <span style="color:green">sálje</span> (SOV) * <span style="color:red">Ó mila</span> <span style="color:green">sálje</span> <span style="color:blue">ono mono</span> (SVO) * <span style="color:blue">Ono mono</span> <span style="color:red">ó mila</span> <span style="color:green">sálje</span> (OSV) * <span style="color:blue">Ono mono</span> <span style="color:green">sálje</span> <span style="color:red">ó mila</span> (OVS) * <span style="color:green">Sálje</span> <span style="color:red">ó mila</span> <span style="color:blue">ono mono</span> (VSO) * <span style="color:green">Sálje</span> <span style="color:blue">ono mono</span> <span style="color:red">ó mila</span> (VOS) Every sentence is translated as ''The woman sees the man''. The '''SOV''' order is the natural main one. It is possible to find also '''SVO''' and '''OSV''' orders. OSV order can be used to emphasize the role of the object: * The sentence "<span style="color:blue">Ono mono</span> <span style="color:red">ó mila</span> <span style="color:green">sálje</span>" (OSV) could be translated as ''It's the man, (whom) the woman sees. The other three orders are very seldom used. ==Noun syntax== ===Case usage=== The Lantian language makes use of '''cases''', to show the syntactic roles of nouns, adjectives and pronouns. Modern European languages usually have no cases (with the relevant exception of German and the Slavic languages), but once they had them and lost them during their history. Some remains are still present also in English, in pronouns: * ''I see you'' - '''I''' is subject/nominative form * ''You see me'' - '''me''' is object/accusative form In Lantian this use is extended to all nouns and their adjectives. Cases are shown by ''endings'', which are added to the base form of nouns/adjectives. This process is named ''declension'', and the verb is ''to decline''. ====Nominative==== The '''nominative''' is the case of ''subject''. It shows the main role of the sentence, the one that carries out the action of the verb. Usually nominative form have no endings, or the so-called ''zero ending'' in the singular, so it matches the base form (we can say that nominative singular is the base form of every noun and adjective). * ''The child buys a book'': '''Ó píku''' tálewo fýne. * ''The child is playing'': '''Ó píku''' kláse. * ''The child is nice'': '''Ó píku''' delwa ér. The subject of the sentence (''ó píku'') is in the same case, nominative, with a transitive verb (''fýne''), with an intransitive verb (''kláse''), and with a noun phrase. In a noun phrase the object is nominative too, because the verb '''ervuč''' doesn't require an accusative object form: * ''That man is the teacher of Lantian'': '''Šik mon''' '''ó popítačan''' láncu ér. ====Genitive==== The '''genitive''' is the case of ''possession''. It shows the (proper or apparent) ownership role. It is usually expressed with the preposition ''of'': * ''Did you see the father of the child?'': Ono nátwo '''onu píkú''' sáljevec? * ''The speech of the child is very clever'': Ó malžotjám '''onu píkú''' vnosum bwón ér. The genitive is required by some prepositions (or constructions): - '''ab''': it has the meaning of ''argument'', of what we talk about, translated mainly with ''about'' * ''What are you talking about?'': Áb maw malžej? * ''I was thinking of you.'': Áb tow valmevu. - '''óz''': it has the meaning of ''absence'', ''deprivation'', translated mainly with ''without'' * ''I can't go home without my car'': Mázujás óz kijunun awtow rokor ét omšu - '''béf''': it has the meaning of ''cause'', ''motive'', translated mainly with ''because of'' * ''He didn't go because of his mother'': Béf sijunu hédu ét rójev. - '''žočot''', a crystalized nominal form, translates ''instead of'', ''at the place of''. When it is linked to a personal pronoun, this changes in a definite possessive pronouns declined according to žočot. * ''He bought a mobile phone instead of a new radio'': Mobilo žočot lóju radjów fýnev * ''If I had been in your shoes, I wouldn't do it'': Jék townoton žočot tekeravu, hejo ét toljavu. - '''žlév''', it has the meaning of ''following'', translated mainly with ''after''. * ''You will meet him after the lesson'': zao žlév onu lékcijew tetrefesec. - '''zróšm''', it has the meaning of ''opposition'', translated mainly with ''against''. * ''Japan fought with the Axis' powers against the Allies'': Nippongo ša onjen Omšačanečejeyn Axew zróšm onju Osočelačyw nakračev. ====Dative==== The '''dative''' is the case of ''indirect object''. It shows the third main role of the sentence, usually introduced by verbs of giving, as '''kalkor''', ''to give'', '''kálekuč''', ''to donate'', and similar. * ''The father gave the child a new ball'': Ó nát '''ona píkuja''' lójo vondawo kálev. * ''I'd like to have given you as a gift this CD'': '''Toja''' lako CD-wo kálekivu. As ''indirect object'', the dative case can be required by other verbs without any preposition:<br> - '''Esor''', ''to have''; its construction is dative-based. The owned thing is the ''subject'', nominative case, of the sentence, and the possessor is in '''dative''' case, a construction called '''''dative of possession''''' (even if possession is usually expressed by genitive). The verb agrees with the subject, the owned thing. * ''Mark has a new car'': Lój awto Marka és. * ''Elén has a new boyfriend'': Lój kelanu Eléna és. - '''Málor''', ''to like'' has a dative-based construction. The liked thing/person is the subject, ''nominative'' case, of the sentence, and the thing/persons, who likes, goes in '''dative''' case, a construction called '''''dative of pleasure'''''. * ''She doesn't like me'': Hija ét málu * ''I don't like cats'': Ony felij kija ét málek. - '''Caduč''', ''to ask'' has a dative-based construction. The thing, which is asked for, is the direct object, ''accusative'' case, of the sentence, and the person who is asked, goes in '''dative''' case, a construction called '''''dative of request'''''. * ''I asked you for the newspaper'': toja ono fadžlójačano cáževu. - '''Plákor''', ''to be in debt'' has a dative-based construction. The thing, for which someone is in debt, is the direct object, ''accusative'' case, of the sentence, and the person with whom someone is in debt, goes in '''dative''' case, a construction called '''''dative of debt'''''. * ''He was in debt with him for that loan'': Zaja lako nakáltjámo plajev Other verbs simply requires only the indirect object: '''wakor''', ''to help'' * ''I'd like to help you, but I cannot'': Toja wači, ýbo ét omšu. The dative is required by some preposition: - '''dér''': it has a meaning of ''benefit'', ''in favour'', translated mainly with ''for'': * ''I bought a new game for my son'': Lójo kláso dér kijuna vokeša fýnevu. ====Accusative==== The '''accusative''' is the case of ''object''. It shows the second main role of the sentence, the one that is affected by the action of the verb. * ''The man sees the child'': Ó mon '''ono píkuwo''' sálje. Only transitive verbs require an accusative form. Intransitive verbs have no object. (Remember that many intransitive verbs can be transitive too) The accusative can have other functions: - Expressions of time are usually said in accusative: * ''The last week I went to London'': '''Omenavon počfadžo''' Londonás rójevu * ''I was born on the 3rd January'': '''Ono klikovo''' janváru lájuvus - Greetings are usually expressed in accusative (as the verb ''volvuč'', to wish, is implied) * ''Good morning'': '''Déno nóšfadžo''' * ''Good evening'': '''Déno joštéro''' The accusative is required by some prepositions: - '''ód''': it has a meaning of ''separation'', translated mainly with ''from'', but also with other prepositions, depending of the word which requires it: * ''I healed from a desease'': Ód hwažečewo belotoluvu * ''I will get rid of that problem'': Ód šiko problémo tenálutolusu This preposition usually comes in pair with '''dó''' + ADL. in the sequence ''from.. to..'', usually for expression of time, but not for expression of places. * ''I'd like to work from sunday to wednesday'': ód lósufádwo dó epurlowfadžás twači * but: ''I travelled from Rome to Paris'': Rómajád Parisás pátesevu - '''pjér''': it has a meaning of ''preceding'', translated mainly with ''before'': * ''I have to go home before evening'': Pjér joštero mázujás rokor njubu. ====Instrumental==== The '''instrumental''' is the case of ''instrument'', ''means''. It mainly shows the means, with which the action of the verb is carried out. * ''I write with the pen'': '''Onen póljasmajen''' polju. * ''You don't think with (your) head'': '''Onen ločen''' ét valmec. The instrumental by itself can express the role of acting object with a passive verb. * ''The cat was biten by the dog'': Ó féli '''onen bodžen''' šmítevis. * ''This house has been bought by my father'': Lak mázu '''kijunen načen''' fýnevis. This two main meanings can be competitive in the presence of a passive verb, but with inanimate objects the sense can avoid misunderstanding: * ''This work has been written with a pen'': Lak twák poljasmajen poljevis (the instrumental is not translated as ''by a pen'', because a pen can't write by itself, but only someone wrote with it) The instrumental case can be required by some verbs as object, and by some adjectives: - '''Twákor''', ''to work'', expresses the job with the instrumental case: * ''She works as teacher'': Popítačanen twače - '''Gérvuč''', ''to be guilty'', expresses the guilt with the instrumental case: * ''They are guilty of theft'': Prénžotjámen gérvuk - '''Žwýn''', ''full'', is usually followed by the instrumental: * ''My day is full of work'': Kijunon fád žwýn twačen ér. The instrumental is required by some prepositions: - '''ša''': it has a meaning of ''company'', translated mainly with ''with'', (never a meaning of ''means'', expressed only by the simple instrumental). * ''I go to the beach with my boyfriend'': Nwínás ša kijunenon kelanujen roču. * ''They are talking with their parents'': Ša zijunetynon lájačanetyn malžek ====Place cases: Locative, Adlative, Delative==== The last three cases are usually collectively named '''place cases''' (or ''where-cases''), because they show a location, and a still standing in that place or a movement to or from that place. The '''locative''' is the case of ''still position'' in a place. It is usually translated with ''in'' or ''at''. It translates also an unreal or imaginary position. * ''I live in Berlin'': '''Berlinot''' skjaču * ''We're at home'': '''Mázujot''' ern. * ''I've got an idea in (my) head'': Idéa kija '''ločot''' és. The '''adlative''' is the case of ''movement to'' a place. It is usually translated with ''to'', or ''into''. It translates also an unreal or imaginary movement. * ''I go to Berlin'': '''Berlinás''' roču * ''We come home'': '''Mázujás''' ačen The '''delative''' is the case which shows the ''origin of the movement from'' a place. It is usually translated with ''from''. It translates also an unreal or imaginary movement. * ''I come from Berlin'': '''Berlinád''' aču * ''We come out of home'': '''Mázujád''' izačen Some prepositions require the place cases. Usually these prepositions, which indicate a place, require all three cases to define the position, relative to their meaning. For example, '''blúz''', ''near'', with the delative case, indicates that the subject moves from the neighbourhood of something. These prepositions are: * '''áf''', ''on'', ''over'' * '''blúz''', ''near'' * '''dán''', ''beyond'' * '''dóp''', ''under'' * '''izvýn''', ''outside'' * '''mízt''', ''between'', ''among'' * '''ukryg''', ''around'' * '''výn''', ''inside'' - '''dó''', ''until'', requires only the ''adlative'' case, as it implies a figurative movement. * ''I'm going to work until sunday'': Dó lósufadžás tetwačesu. ==Attributes' Syntax== ===Article usage=== Lantian language has an only type of articles, the ''definite'' ones. Indefiniteness is not expressed. - ''I bought a newspaper'': fadžlójačano fýnevu. The definite article, expressed by its full form '''ó''', or merged with the adjective (-'''on/n/jon''' suffix), has a more widespread use than its English countepart. Every definite word is accompained by the article, even if it would be implicitly definite (in this case in English the article is often dropped): - ''Did you see the new car of Mr. Petru?'': lójon awtowo onu lástu Petrú sáljevec?<br> - ''I love nature'': ono jefážawo kelu. When there are two or more adjectives, the articles is added to the first one. - ''the new French car'': lójon fransár awto The article can't be linked to ''personal'' and ''geographic names'': - ''I like Italy'': Itálja kija mále.<br> - ''I'm searching for Petr'': Petro tyrcu. Some geographic names are exceptions, because they actually are common nouns, as:<br> - NMA: Núčelačy'''jon''' Mjáwej Amerikaw (''the United States'') - EN: Ewropár'''on''' Núčeltjám (''the European Union'') - NK: Núčelát'''on''' Krišpót (''the United Kingdom'') - RB: Ruskár'''on''' Bwandotjám (''the Russian Federation'') Also the words '''lást''' (''mister'') and '''lástnejn''' (''miss/mrs''), and noble titles take the article if definite because they are considered as common nouns.<br> - ''Do you know Mr. Petru?'': ono lásto Petruwo znodžec? :''For article usage with possessive adjectives see [[Lánc syntax#Possessive adjective|below]] ===Adjective usage=== ====Possessive adjective==== The main difference between Lantian possessive adjectives and their English counterparts is that, when definite, they take the article. In this way a nouns with a possessive adjective can be indefinite too (contrary to English) - ''This is my best friend'': Lak kijunon pu-dén vjéša ér. <br> - ''I see a friend of her'': Hijuno vjéšawo sáljevu. The article is added every time a noun is definite. The same rule for geographic and personal noun (with their exceptions) is applied. Kinship nouns are particular because in the singular they never require the article: - ''I talked with your mother'': ša townen hedžen malževu<br> - ''Our grandfather gave us a present'': vojun pranát vojay káleko kálev ===Number usage=== Except for '''nók''', ''one'' (dat.: '''noča''', it has no plural forms), considered as an adjective, all numbers are treated like adverbs and they don't decline. As adverbs they don't take any definite declension, and the article is placed before them. - ''I saw one student in that classroom'': nókwo čwesačano šikot čwesméremot sáljevu.<br> - ''They thanked seven people'': poč čésya džanevek<br> - ''I met the three students, which came from Italy'': onjo klik píkujoy bejznoževu, okátjavy Itáliajád. '''''Warning''''': '''nók''' is not an article, you should remind not to use it in such way.<br> - '''nókwo''' čwesačano šikot čwesméremot sáljevu - it points to the fact that the student was one and alone. - čwesačano šikot čwesméremot sáljevu - it points nothing, there was a student inside the room The dual number is used only with the simple '''džis''', ''two'', not with composed numbers like '''džistóč džis''', ''twenty-two''. '''džis''' is not very used, because it can be replaced by the dual form of nouns; it is used to point the amount without nouns. - ''How many were there? - (They were) two!'': mósej kájot ervuk? - Džis (ervuke)!<br> - ''My (two) cats are white'': kijuneton félit bílo ereke.<br> - ''There are eighty-two people in the room'': váttóč džis čésy onot méremot ájerek. The numbers '''miljón''', ''million'', and '''miljárd''', ''billion'', are exceptions. They are treated as nouns, and do decline according to their role in the sentence. Their objects (things or people) are linked with them in the ''genitive case''. Even if this nouns appears in singular or dual forms (depending on the number which comes with them), the verbs agrees with the plural meaning of the entire ammount of objects. - ''Earth is one hundred fifty millions kilometres from the Sun'': ó Pán tóček majttóč miljárdyo kilométryw ód ono Lóswo vašwate.<br> - ''Two millions people live in Rome'': (džis) miljónet čésyw Rómajot praskjaček. ==Verbal Syntax== ===Mood usage=== ====Infinitive==== The infinitival form of verbs has the same meaning of its English counterpart, but it has a more common use than English. As English it is used after auxiliary verbs, like '''omšor''', ''to can'', '''njubor''', ''to must'', '''šáljor''', ''to want'', when the subjects of both verbs are the same: - ''I wanted to go home'': mázujás rokor šáljevu<br> - ''She cannot come'': atčuč ét omše<br> - ''We will have to help him'': zaja wakor tenjubesen<br> The second verb is thought as a part of the same sentences, a part of the object of the verb, and it is placed before the auxiliary verb. Infinitive can also be a noun inside the sentence: - ''To be, or not to be: that is the question'': ervuč ýbo ét ervuč: šik ó cád ér<br> - ''Cooking is beautiful'': šmanor méra ér<br> - ''Nice to meet you'' (lit. ''it's a pleasure to meet you''): tó bejznódor málajč ér As it commonly represents the meaning of the process of the verb, this usage of the infinitival form is interchangeable with the construction with '''-sén''': - ''Cooking is beautiful'': šmanor méra ér/ó šmansén méra ér ====Indicative==== The indicative is the main mood. It expresses ''reality'', ''certainty'', and it is also used for ''tales'', and certain opinions for the future. - ''I shall go to the beach'': nwínás terójesu. in opposition with:<br> - ''I think I'll go to the beach'': valmu žá nwínás terójasu. (''it expresses doubt about the future event'')<br> - ''I'd like to go to the beach'': nwínás terójisu (''it expresses a desire about the future'') Indicative is also used in subordinate clauses, when there is no expressed doubt, particularly in direct subordinate clauses (''ža-clauses''): - ''I told you I won't come'': toja lolevu, ža ét tekátjesu.<br> - ''I explained him, that we didn't take his clock'' - zaja logeduvu, ža zawnon húremato ét genševen. Indicative is also used in some direct subordinate clauses, in dependance on some adjectives or verbs: - ''I'm not able to sing'': omšačnav ét eru, ža pému (lit. ''I'm not able that I sing'')<br> - ''I managed to buy a new car'': espohevu, ža lójo awtowo fýnevu (lit. ''I managed that I have bought a new car'') Indicative has 5 tenses: ''present'', ''past'', ''future'', ''plusquamperfect'' and ''future in the past'':<br> * '''Present''', '''past''' and '''future''' are equivalent to their English counterparts and they express the same temporal meanings. * '''Plusquamperfect''' expresses an action, prior to another past action: - ''He had already eaten, before I came home'': ply osetev, pjérža mázujás átjavu. * '''Future in the past''' expresses an action, subsequent another past action (without expressing conditions): - ''He said, he would have read the book'': lolev ža ono tálewo oteraluse.<br> - ''She would have gone to work, but her car didn't work'': twačás oterójese, ýbo hijunon awto ét otwačanev. ====Subjunctive==== The subjunctive mood expresses a general meaning of ''doubt'', ''uncertainty'' or a ''future uncertain possibility''. It is very used in subordinate clauses, with verbs indicating the same meanings, like '''valmor''' (''to think''), '''džébor''' (''to doubt''), '''netor''' (''to believe''), '''vylčuč''' (''to seem''), etc: - ''I think he's working'': valmu ža twača.<br> - ''They believe he bought a new book'': néček ža lójo tálewo fýnav.<br> - ''She doubts you will come'': džébe ža tekátjasec.<br> - ''It seems to me that he loves her'': kija vylče ža hijo kela The subjunctive is used also in conditional sentences (if-clauses or ''jék-clauses''), to express various meaning: * in the present it expresses ''doubt'', ''uncertain'' under condition: - ''If I go, I perhaps could give her a rose'': jék roča, hija rózewo kála.<br> : or an impossible condition: - ''If I were the president, I would help all poor people'': jék ó prezidént era, bányajon fedenya wáča. * in the future it expresses an ''uncertain probability'', or an ''uncertain condition'' in the future: - ''If I went, I perhaps would give her a rose'': jék terójasu, hija rózewo tekálasu. * in the past it expresses ''doubt'' about a past action, a ''uncertain possibility'' about another result of an action: - ''If I had gone, I perhaps would have given her a rose'': jék rójavu, hija rózewo kálavu. The subjunctive is also mandatory in subordinate clauses, introduced by '''dérža''' (''in order that'', ''to''), '''džú ža''' (''so that''), '''étérvan''' (''although''), '''pjérža''' (''before [that]''): - ''I did it, to see you'': hejo toljuv, dérža tó sálja.<br> - ''He had given them the book, in order that they read it'': mijay ono tálewo okálev, dérža hejo ralavuk.<br> - ''I called you, so that you go with him'': toja páwámev, džú ža ša zajen ročac.<br> - ''Although he comes, he won't bring it.'': étérvan átja, hejo ét temajvuse.<br> - ''Will you be ready, before we come home?'': sgoton tekersec, pjérža mázujás tekátjan? ====Optative==== The optative mood expresses a general meaning of ''wish'', ''will'', ''desire''. It is used both in main and subordinate clauses. In main clauses its most usual translation is the form ''would like to'': - ''I'd like to drink water'': ákwo žiči<br> - ''You wouldn't like to work tomorrow'': tefadžo ét tetwáčic<br> - ''He willingly would have gone with him'': ša zajen rójiv<br> It is also used to make polite order, in form of question. - ''Would you go home?'': mázujás ročic? It is used in subordinate clauses after verbs of will and desire like '''šáljor''' (''to want''), '''kwónuč''' (''to wish, to desire'') and of similar meaning like '''ravídor''' (''to demand'', ''to pretend'') - ''I want you to think'': šálju ža valmic.<br> - ''They wish that you see everything'': kwónuk ža báno sáljic.<br> - ''We demand you to explain yourself'': ravíden ža sijo logedic. Also the verb '''caduč''' (''to ask'') may be followed by the optative, if it expresses a desire. - ''She asks you to come'': (toja) cadže ža átjic. ===Progressive and incohative forms=== Lantian verbs do not have progressive/continuous forms. Instead of an ''-ing'' form as English, the present tense is used, often with adverbs of time. - ''I'm eating'': setu<br> - ''Now we're going to work'': čuk twačás ročen<br> Expecially in past tenses continous forms are not distinguished from normal tenses. This can be understood by the meaning of the entire sentence. - ''I worked all the day'': bánon fádwo twačevu<br> - ''I was working all the day'': bánon fádwo twačevu<br> - ''While she was sleeping, the telephone rang'': dum ždenev, ó telefon ermonuv Present perfect continous forms are expressed in Lantian using the present forms: - ''I've been studying Lantian for 5 months'': ono lánco ód majt lučeroy čwesu (lit. ''I study Lantian from 5 months'') Completed extended actions are built differently: - ''I've studied Lantian for 4 years'': ono lánco pali yšyt čwesevu Incohative constructions are built in a particular way: - ''We are about to go'': kanejot ern ža ročen (lit. ''We are on the moment that we go'') Constructions with the incohative verbs or similar are made with the present tense forms instead of the infinitive ones: - ''He began to explain me everything'' - čalžev ža kija báno logeduv<br> - ''We'll keep on looking for someone'' - telogrusen ža máčéso tetyrcesen<br> - ''I stop reading and I come'' - čefátu ža ralu ši aču<br> - ''Why don't you finish to discuss?'' - taméske ét bárzuc ža namalžec? ==Clause syntax== ===Consecutio temporum=== Lánc verbs almost do not transmit any expression of aspect, i.e., they do not express an exact definitess of the action, expecially in indirect speech, as in English: - ''He decided to go''<br> - ''He has decided to go'' To solve this problem Lánc uses a syntax construction, named in Latin ''consecutio temporum'', or ''sequence of tenses''. Differently from English, it is the tense of the verb in the secondary sentence that changes: - Pyšev ža rójiv: ''He decided to go'' (He made his decision and already went away)<br> - Pyšev ža roče: ''He has decided to go'' (He made his decision and goes away in this moment)<br> - Pyšev ža terójise: ''He has decided to go'' (He made his decision but still has to go away) Contemporary actions are expressed with the same tense in the two clauses. Other type of sentences are expressed with other tenses: {|border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" ! ''Main Action'' || Previous secondary action in past time || Previous secondary action in present time || Contemporary secondary action || Subsequent secondary action in present time || Subsequent secondary action in future time |- | ''Past'' || Plusquamperfect || - || Past || Present || Future in the past |- | ''Present'' || Past || Present || Present || Present || Future |- | ''Future'' || Plusquamperfect || Present || Future || - || Future |} ===Relative clause=== The relative clauses are built in two ways: * With the relative pronoun '''ksé''': - ''The child (that) you saw'': ó píku, ksewo sáljevec.<br> - ''Do you see the man, who I gave a pen?'': ono mono sáljec, kšá poljasmawo kálevu? This costruction is quite similar to the English one, except for the fact that the relative pronoun can't be dropped. * With '''participles''' (this is the most common way): If the subject of the main clause and the one of the relative clause are the same, the participle simply replaces the pronoun, according to tense. - ''The child who plays'': ó píku klásáv (ó píku ksé kláse, ''more inusual'')<br> - ''The man who gave me a book'': ó mon, okáláv kija tálewo. The participle has to agree with the noun in number and case, even if it remains the subject of the sentences. - ''This is the house of the man, who gave me the book'': héj mázu onu monu ér, okálavu kija ono tálewo If the subject of the two clauses is different, participles are used anyway, with a particular construction: - ''The woman, who I gave a pen'': ó mila, kí okáláv hija poljasmawo. The construction is: - [''Main clause''], SUBJECT + PARTICIPLE (''in agree with subject'') + PRONOUN (''in agree with the relator of the main clause, but with the case required by the participle'') Usually passive participles are used to revert a relative clause with different subject: * ''The child, whom I see'': ó píku, kí sáljáv zao ‣ ''The child, which is seen by me'': ó píku, sálját kijen. Participles are conjugated in tense, according to the tense of the sentence: - ''The man that will see you'': ó mon tesáljáv tó<br> - ''The man that sees you'': ó mon sáljáv tó<br> - ''The man that saw you'': ó mon osáljáv tó ===Interrogative subordinate clauses=== Interrogative subordinate clauses make an extensive use of ''subjunctive'', expecially when they express doubt. Subjunctive is mandatory when the main clause's verb is '''mecaduč''' (''to wonder''), '''ét znódor''' (''do not know'') and '''ét mýzdor''' (''do not understand''): - ''I wonder why he didn't come'': mecadžu taméske ét átjav<br> - ''They don't know, what I am doing'': ét znodžek mó tolja<br> - ''I didn't understand what he said'': ét mýzdevu mó lolav. With other verbs its use depends on the meaning of doubt. - ''He asked me, what I was doing'': kija cážuv mó toljuvu (''The subject knows its action'')<br> - ''I asked him, what he was doing'': zaja cážuvu mó toljav (''The subject didn't know the other's action'')<br> When interrogative clauses are introduced by '''ly''' (''if'', ''whether''), subjunctive is mandatory too. - ''He didn't know, whether she went home'': ét znožev ly mázujád rójav<br> - ''They ask (me) if I will call him'': (kija) cadžuk ly zaja tepáwámasu<br> [[Category:Lánc|Syntax]] Sirabe 6902 51069 2009-12-15T20:42:20Z Pazmivaniye 1333 This page will be rewritten soon.

As an ergative-absolutive language, these usually consist of a patient pronoun and a verb. Emmese has mostly invariable lexemes (other than the addition of a few regular suffixes or prefixes) and makes heavy use of syntax, auxiliaries, particles and serial verb constructions to enhance meaning. It has no real concept of nouns or adjectives, which are generally achieved with the combination of a stative verb and a pronoun. === Dynamic verbs === Dynamic verbs describe actions - to eat, to go, to dance. They have two forms - personal and impersonal. They are divided into four general classes, based on which prefix they take to form the impersonal: ''ba-'', ''ban-'', ''ta-'' or ''an-''. The first two classes are transitive or intransitive verbs and are still open classes; the latter two classes are closed to new additions and are generally frozen reciprocal or reflexive forms. ==== Personal form ==== Personal forms must always take, at the very least, a patient. They can be interpreted as either active or passive: ''şemi iş'' - he smokes/it is smoked. ''şemi iş-iş'' - he smokes it, it is smoked by him. ==== Impersonal form ==== The impersonal is formed by the addition of a prefix. Impersonals never take arguments. They can act as verbs which in English would take a dummy subject (verbs such as ''an-naşa'', 'to rain', are never found in personal forms except in poetry and certain set phrases) and similar, as extremely emphatic verbal forms (generally when the arguments are already understood), as supines and in idiomatic usage implying that one cannot affect the progress of the action: ''an-naşa'' - it's raining. ''ta-faha'' - it smells. ''ba-goma'' - (someone) comes (and we can't do anything about it) ''an-ttat yuur iş'' - cheese for eating === Stative verbs === These are extremely important in linguistic terms. They are effectively Emmese's equivalent of adjectives and nouns (combined with a pronoun). For example: ''yuur iş'' - cheese (it is cheese) ''immi yuur iş'' - red cheese (it is cheese is red) These can be stacked to any chosen degree and combined with dynamic verbs, so: ''şemi immi yuur iş'' - the red cheese smokes ==== Impersonal forms ==== Far fewer stative verbs have productive impersonals in Emmese. They are generally archaic forms frozen in phrases, created by vowel change or the prefix ''ta-'': ''tamatta'' - it is possible === Serial verbs === As has already been seen, Emmese makes heavy use of serial verb forms. They are also commonly used to mark the direction of verbs: ''şemi aşt immi yuur iş'' - the red cheese (blows its) smoke towards (me) In this case, ''aşt'', referred to as the 'ventive verb', which always indicates movement towards the speaker (and is used alone to mean 'come here'), is used to add a meaning of 'in my direction' to the verb ''şemi''. These verbs also sometimes replace English prepositions, although Emmese also has a large amount of postpositions which it uses in many contexts. Generally, they are used when the object of the preposition is not specified: ''şemi uşuu!'' - smoke inside! ''iş-u itim şemi ut!''- smoke inside the temple! The latter uses a preposition, the former a serial verb construction. Serial verbs also add different meanings or are required with some verbs: ''goma eeşi iş'' - he goes out === Subordinate clauses and complements === Personal verbs are made subordinate by a change in word order - from VPA to PAV: ''şemi iş'' - he smokes ''iş şemi'' - that he smokes Impersonal verbs change their prefix: ''an-'' and ''ban-'' become ''en-'', ''ba-'' becomes ''ve-'' and ''ta-'' becomes ''de-'': ''an-naşa'' - it's raining ''en-naşa'' - that it's raining Subordinate clauses modify to the left of the verb, so: ''iş-u itim tey-si yeşş'' - he sees him when he is in the temple note the deletion of unneeded arguments in the above sentence, and the placement of -si - a complementising particle which has recently developed in spoken Emmese from the question particle ''si?'', 'where'. Also note the use of subordinate word order in the postpositional phrase. This always applies, so: ''itim iş'' - the temple ''iş-u itim'' - in the temple === Aspects and mood === There is no explicit tense marking in Emmese, but there is marking for three aspects and one mood (the irrealis). The default form is the aorist, which has no particular timeframe involved and is often used as a generic. The imperfect is formed using the particle ''uy'', following the verb, the perfect using ''şaş'': ''an-naşa'' - it rains ''an-naşa uy'' - it has been raining/it's raining (now)/it will be raining ''an-naşa şaş'' - it had rained/it has rained/it will have rained The irrealis mood is used for anything theoretical that hasn't occurred, and is marked with the particle ''an'', which cannot coexist with aspects: ''an-naşa an'' - it could rain, it might rain. Note that all of these particles are usually deleted when another construction indicating theoretical things is present: ''an-naşa 'eez?'' - Could it rain? ''tamatta en-naşa'' - It is possible that it will rain For 'if I were... then I would...' clauses, Emmese uses the irrealis for both, and the so called 'conjunctive suffix', ''-uĉ'', attached to the first verb. Some verbs have a frozen form used only here, such as ''tamatta'': ''tamattin en-naşa-uĉ, goma eeşi an iş'' - if it were possible that it would rain, he would go out === Interrogatives === Yes/no questions are formally formed using one of four particles, which agrees with the aspect/mood: ''ann'' is used in aorist questions: ''şemi iş ann?'' - Does he smoke? ''bbaj'' is used in imperfect questions: ''tamatta bbaj?'' - Is it currently/regularly possible? ''anj'' is used in perfect questions: ''tamatta anj?'' - Was it possible? '''eez'' is used in irrealis questions: ''an-naşa 'eez?'' - Could it rain? Emmese is wh-in-situ, and so generally, interrogative pronouns are placed in their standard location in the sentence. The interrogative pronouns are ''si'', 'when', ''tu'', 'how', ''jate'', 'where' and ''jja'', 'who' or 'what': ''si goma iş?'' - when does he go? ''tu goma iş?'' - how does he go? ''jate goma iş?'' - where does he go? ''goma jja?'' - who goes? In the first three examples, the pronouns are placed first because they are in fact replacing a subordinate clause which modifies the verb. However: ''iş si goma?'' - That he goes where? Informally, questions can be formed using the verb construction ''tamatta'...'' combined with a subordinate clause. ''Tamatta'' literally means 'it is possible'. The glottal stop comes from the elided '''eez'' which forms the question: ''Tamatta' iş goma?'' - Does he go? === Negatives === Negatives are formed by the post-verbal particle ''ik'': ''goma eeşi ik iş '' - He doesn't go out Normally, double-negatives are employed with an object or complement, using the particle ''ja'' (''şa'' following another ş): ''goma ik iş itim iş-şa'' - He doesn't go out any(no)where === Pronouns and definiteness === The full pronoun paradigm is ''us'', ''ut'', ''iş'', ''un'', ''utta'', ''işşa'', with no case distinction. Plurals are usually only used for emphasis, singulars are far more common even when describing multiple objects. Although textbook word order is either VPA or PAV, any of the arguments can be moved to initial position for the purposes of emphasis or topicality (in effect, similar to the use of the definite article in English). This forces the emphatic forms of the pronouns to be used. This effectively involves voicing all of the consonants (which are then immune to the rules of consonant harmony), as well as including a particle which marks agents (although this almost always elided in speech): ''şemi tabahi iş iş'' - he smokes tobacco (tobacco is smoked by him) ''ij tabahi iş şemi'' - it's tobacco he smokes, he smokes the tobacco ''ij şemi tabahi iş'' - HE smokes tobacco === Politeness === To distinguish between different levels of formality, Emmese uses different pronouns. This is used as a kind of inflection - for example, one would always describe a god or another religious figure with ''ye''. ==== Informal pronouns ==== <table> <tr><th>English</th><th>Emmese</th></tr> <tr><td>I</td><td>Us</td></tr> <tr><td>you (sing.)</td><td>Ut</td></tr> <tr><td>he/she/it</td><td>Iş</td></tr> <tr><td>we</td><td>Un</td></tr> <tr><td>you (plu.)</td><td>Utta</td></tr> <tr><td>they</td><td>Işşa</td></tr> </table> The informal pronouns are the most commonly used in speech, and generally pronouns in this paradigm are used in other places as well (for example, even when humble speech is being utilised, ''Iş'' is used to refer to third person individuals). Two friends speaking to one another about another friend would refer to themselves, one another and their friend with the informal pronouns. ==== Humble pronouns ==== <table> <tr><th>English</th><th>Emmese</th></tr> <tr><td>I</td><td>Ar</td></tr> <tr><td>you (sing.)</td><td>At</td></tr> <tr><td>we</td><td>An</td></tr> <tr><td>you (plu.)</td><td>Atta</td></tr> </table> The humble pronouns consist only of first person and second person forms, and are used to refer to oneself directly when talking to someone highly superior (now generally dialectal, almost unused in the standard language) or when asking a favour (now the only real use for them). Traditionally, the second person forms were used by lords when speaking to their servants, but they are now semi-archaisms the use of which is extremely insulting. They are only ever used in direct reference in conversation. ==== Formal pronouns ==== <table> <tr><th>English</th><th>Emmese</th></tr> <tr><td>I</td><td>Uz</td></tr> <tr><td>you (sing.)</td><td>Étidar</td></tr> <tr><td>he/she/it</td><td>Iz</td></tr> <tr><td>we</td><td>Ur</td></tr> <tr><td>you (plu.)</td><td>Étidaz</td></tr> <tr><td>they</td><td>Iri</td></tr> </table> The formal pronouns were traditionally used to refer to anyone you didn't know, both in direct conversation and in reference. However, in modern practice, younger people (below the age of thirty or so) tend to refer to people of a similar or younger age with the informal pronouns from initial meeting (or even before meeting). The formal pronouns are restricted to occasional use within families (some grandparents, for example, insist on ''étidar'') and formal relationships, such as workers speaking to one another. Older people maintain the older usage. The formal pronoun might be used to refer to a respected boss in conversation with a friend, or face-to-face, in reference to both onesself and the boss. ==== Religious pronouns ==== <table> <tr><th>English</th><th>Emmese</th></tr> <tr><td>I</td><td>Yu</td></tr> <tr><td>you (sing.)</td><td>Yed</td></tr> <tr><td>he/she/it</td><td>Ye</td></tr> <tr><td>we</td><td>Yut</td></tr> <tr><td>you (plu.)</td><td>Yedat</td></tr> <tr><td>they</td><td>Yet</td></tr> </table> The religious pronouns are now almost dead, and are used only in older prayers. Modern prayers tend to favour informality. The religious first-person pronoun is used by deities to refer to themselves, and ''ye'' is restricted almost totally to biblical verses about God. === Conjunctions === Conjunctions are generally suffixed to verbs: ''-si'' - when - ''iş-u itim tey-si'' - when he's in the temple ''-ayt'' - and (linking clauses) - ''şemi iş-ayt an-naşa-ayt'' - he's smoking and it's raining ''-op'' - but - ''şemi iş-op an-naşa-op'' - he's smoking, but it's raining ''-uĉ'' - 'conjunctive suffix' used to show that a previous verb has a connection to a following verb. Although prescriptively placed on the first verb, in colloquial spontaneously spoken Emmese it is usually placed on the second verb: ''şemi-uĉ uy iş, goma iş'' - because he was smoking, he left (note the sequence of aspects - there is no marked aspect on the second verb) ==== Compound verbs and linked verbs ==== Verbs with the same subject may be linked in compound verb constructions or using the ''-ak''' suffix. The former implies that one does something at the same time: ''şemittat iş'' - he smokes and eats (at the same time) ''şemi ttat-ak' iş'' - he smokes and (then) eats, he smokes and eats generally ==== Incorporated patients and agents ==== Patients and agents can be incorporated, prefixed, into verbs for emphasis, as a kind of verbal agreement. This occasionally gives new semantic meaning, producing a new verb, and occurs both with and without the pronoun in the usual place. The prefix order is agent-patient-verb. A prefixed agent without a patient requires the dummy pronoun agreement -(s)o(z)-, a remnant of a much older conjugation system. Although prescriptive grammar insists on this being replaced by the correct agreement when the verb gains an actual patient, this is rarely the case with these kinds of set phrases, unless the patient pronoun is excluded: ''Us-oz-imi'' - to be my lover (to be loved by me) ''Us-oz-imi iş'' - she is my lover (hypercorrectly: ''us-is-imi iş'', occasionally ''us-is-imi'') === Derivative prefixes === There are many prefixes which can be used to derive new verbs. Some of these - such as ''ut-'' - are defunct aspect markers, others are particles which merge with verbs. ''as-'': intensifier. ''aşşemi'' - 'to smoke a large amount' ''ut-'': agentifier. Near-defunct habitual aspect prefix, non-productive. ''uşemi'' - a smoker (or, in rare dynamic use, one who smokes a lot). === Adverbs === Any verb can be modified using a stative verb, such as ''yiişu'' ('to be fast'), placed before the verb: ''yiişu ttat iş'' - he eats quickly Many serial verbs are also analysed as adverbs, although these are placed following the verb: ''şemi aşt iş'' - he smokes towards me === Copulae === There are two copulae, the zero-copula (employed in all situations where a copula linking two noun-like structures is required) and the locative copula. Most of the time, stative verbs are used to replace the copula: ''yuur iş'' - it is cheese However, occasionally, for emphasis or for disambiguation, it is required that one object is explicitly stated to be another. This is often referred to as the 'copula of material', because its most frequent use is to define the material from which something is made. In this case, they are juxtaposed: ''yuur iş yuun iş'' - the moon is (made of) cheese For locative constructions, along with 'there is'/'there are', possession, and a few other idiomatic sentence types, ''tey'' is used. It has the general meaning of 'by' or 'with': ''tey yuur iş yuun iş'' - The cheese is by the moon This doubles as a possessive construction: ''tey yuur iş yuun iş'' - The cheese has the moon When placed into the subordinate mood, this also acts as a kind of possessive pronoun: ''yuur iş tey yuun iş'' - The moon's cheese (the cheese that is with the moon) It is also used in a serial verb construction with various verbs of feeling: ''tsitu tey iş'' - He feels happy === Postpositions === Almost all adpositions in Emmese are postpositions, although prepositions work in an identical fashion. All adpositional phrases are placed in the subordinate, and the adposition is attached to the pronoun: ''ayyab iş'' - a shop ''iş-u ayyab'' - in a shop In relative clauses involving postpositions, the postposition is placed on the pronoun, and no relative pronoun is involved. However, the main clause is not treated like a subordinate: ''ayyab iş-u iş tey'' - The shop that he was in ''buzinn iş-enn iş tey'' - The girl that he was with When two prepositions are involved (for example, in a sentence such as 'he was with the girl she was with'), the main clause's preposition is placed in the second position: ''tey iş buzinn iş-enn-enn iş tey'' - He's with the girl that she was with === Emphasis === Emphasis is commonly achieved by repetition: ''tey iş-iş'' - ''he'' is ''tey ayyab iş-iş'' - ''a shop'' is Aasti/Lexicon 6905 49435 2009-09-27T20:26:37Z Navidel 620

aristocrats in Ballhornia, which is spoken in castles in the hidden mountains of Northern-Ballhornia. The language changes also some grammatical aspects of the former [[Ballhorn]]. To discriminate themselves from the down-sitters in the villages, there has been many quarrel between them; They strictly discriminated the popular Nominative and Accusative ( Called Nomis & Accis) and throw themselves into a bloody battle with the Ergative Case. The dedication to the ergative was reached by the aristocrats not voluntarily, but by the originated trouble. {{Language| | English = Erghorn | country = Middle Europe | nativecountry = Ballhornia | universe = Real world | speakers = 100 | family = [[Intro-ballhornic]] | branch = [[Germanic]] | subbranch = [[Bavarian]] <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hungarian <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Greek <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lithuanian <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ballhirsk <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ballhornic <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ballhorn <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basque | wordorder = SOV, | type = Fusional (mostly) | alignment = ergative-absolutive | author = Lukas Denk | date = 2009 | background = white | headingbg = grey | width = 33% }} Proto-Imperial 6907 49536 2009-10-02T11:04:50Z Kohorik 1335 [[Category:Conlangs]] =Phonemes= ==Consonants== The consonant system of Proto-Imperial is characterized by a large amount of plosives and affricates (here called stops), with 4 different manners of articulation: lenis, fortis, glottalized and prenasalized at 5 different points of articulation, as well as the glottal stop. On the other hand there are few fricatives, and no phonemic nasals. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- ! rowspan="2" colspan="2" | ! rowspan="2" | [[Bilabial consonant|Bilabial]] ! colspan="3" | [[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Alveolo-palatal consonant|Alveolo-<br />palatal]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Velar consonant|Velar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Uvular consonant|Uvular]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Glottal consonant|Glottal]] |- style="font-size: small;" ! style="font-weight: normal;" | plain ! style="font-weight: normal;" | [[Affricate consonant|fricated]] ! style="font-weight: normal;" | [[Lateral consonant|lateral]] |- ! rowspan="4" | [[Stop consonant|Stop]] ! style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[lenis consonant|lenis]] | {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|ʦ}} || {{IPA|tɬ}} || {{IPA|ʨ}} || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|q}} || {{IPA|ʔ}} |- ! style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[fortis consonant|fortis]] | {{IPA|pʰ}} || {{IPA|tʰ}} || {{IPA|ʦʰ}} || {{IPA|tɬʰ}} || {{IPA|ʨʰ}} || {{IPA|kʰ}} || {{IPA|qʰ}} || |- ! style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[Glottalized consonant|glottalized]] | {{IPA|ɓ}} || {{IPA|tʼ}} || {{IPA|ʦʼ}} || {{IPA|tɬʼ}} || {{IPA|ʨʼ}} || {{IPA|kʼ}} || {{IPA|qʼ}} || |- ! style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[Prenasalized consonant|prenasalized]] | {{IPA|mb}} || {{IPA|nd}} || {{IPA|nʣ}} || {{IPA|ndɮ}} || {{IPA|ɲʥ}} || {{IPA|ŋg}} || {{IPA|ɴɢ}} || |- ! colspan="2" | [[Fricative]] | || || {{IPA|s}} || || {{IPA|ɕ}} || || || {{IPA|h}} |- ! colspan="2" | [[Approximant]] | || || || {{IPA|l}} || ({{IPA|j}}) || ({{IPA|w}}) || || |- |} The central approximants /w/ and /j/ can be treated as consonantal allophones of /u/ and /i/ respectively. ==Vowels== Proto-Imperial has three contrastive [[vowel]] qualities {{IPA|/i, u, a/}} at two different vowel heights (high, low). There are also two contrastive [[vowel length]]s and a contrast in [[nasalization]]. There are also 4 diphthongs. This results in 16 phonemic vowels, shown below. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" |+ ''Oral, Long'' ! ! [[Front vowel|Front]] ! [[Back vowel|Back]] |- !

Closing to {{IPA|ʊ}} | {{IPA|aʊ}} || {{IPA|ãʊ}} |} =Syllable structure and constraints= The syllable structure is C(G)V(X), where : C is any (phonemic) consonant (i.e. no central approximant) : G is one of the two central consonants, [{{IPA|j}}] or [{{IPA|w}}] : V is any vowel or diphthong : X is one of the two glottal consonants, /{{IPA|ʔ}}/ or /{{IPA|h}}/ The central approximants cannot occur before the vowel of which they are allophones. In other words [{{IPA|w}}] does never occur before /{{IPA|u}}({{IPA|ː}})/ and [{{IPA|j}}] does never occur before /{{IPA|i}}({{IPA|ː}})/. The palatal approximant [{{IPA|j}}] does not occur after sibilants or affricates. It also doesn't seem to occur after uvular consonants. The labio-velar approximant [{{IPA|w}}] does not occur after the lateral affricates. =Stress= Word-stress in PI were not phonemical. The nature of the stress are unknown, but it is likely that it was some kind of pitch-accent. Even if the exact nature of the stress is unkown, we know which syllable was stressed. The last checked syllable in the word, except for the very last syllable received primary stress. If no syllables in a word were checked, the first syllable of the word was stressed. Every other syllable, counting back and forward from the primary stressed syllable received secondary stress, last syllable of the word excluded. Note however that most words were 2 or 3 syllables long, and only received primary stress. Morphology in PI were procliticizing, where the morphological containt were included in proclitics before the root words. These clitics were always unstressed. =Realizations and allophony= The realization and allophony of Proto-Imperial (PI) is based on the reflexes of the daughter language(s). Quite possibly many of these allophonies reflects the pronunciation of a rather late stage of PI:s history. ==Consonants== The realizations of the consonants were depending on their location inside the word. In PI one differs between two locations, initial and medial. Initial position is initially in the word, or after a checked syllable (i.e. a syllable that ends with /{{IPA|ʔ}}/ or /{{IPA|h}}/) while medial position is after a non-checked syllable. ===Stops=== Lenis stops were pronounced voiceless in initial position, and voiced in medial position. They were voiced as such: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" |+ ''Lenis stops'' ! [[Unvoiced consonant|Unvoiced]] ! [[Voiced consonant|Voiced]] |- | {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} |- | {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} |- | {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- | {{IPA|q}} || {{IPA|ɢ}} |- | {{IPA|ʦ}} || {{IPA|ʣ}} |- | {{IPA|ʨ}} || {{IPA|ʥ}} |- | {{IPA|tɬ}} || {{IPA|dɮ}} |} The affricates could further deaffricate to voiced fricatives in some dialects. Checked syllables ending in /{{IPA|h}}/ + lenis stop was pronounced as a preaspirated stop. Fortis stops were always voiceless. They were pronounced aspirated in initial position, and geminated and preaspirated in medial position. The difference between non-checked syllable + fortis stop and h-checked syllable + lenis stop is thus one of consonant length. Glottalized stops were ejectives, except for the labial plosive, which was an implosive. Certain dialect also pronounced the alveolar plosive as an implosive rather than an ejective. There seems to have been no difference in pronunciation between initial and medial position for the glottalized plosives/affricates. The pronunciation of prenasalized stops depended on the location but also on the quality of the following vowel. All prenasalized stops except the lateral affricate were pronounced nasal before a nasal vowel. They nasalize as such: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" |+ ''Nasal realization of prenasalized stops'' ! [[Prenasalized consonant|Prenasalized]] ! [[Nasal consonant|Nasal]] |- | {{IPA|mb}} || {{IPA|m}} |- | {{IPA|nd}} || {{IPA|n}} |- | {{IPA|ŋg}} || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- | {{IPA|ɴɢ}} || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- | {{IPA|nʣ}} || {{IPA|n}} |- | {{IPA|ɲʥ}} || {{IPA|ɲ}} |} The ”nasals” were pronounced the same in initial and medial position. Notice the partial merger between /{{IPA|nd}}/ and {IPA|nʣ}}/ (to [{{IPA|n}}]) as well as between /{{IPA|ŋg}}/ and /{{IPA|ɴɢ}}/ (to [{{IPA|ŋ}}]. Before oral vowels and in initial position they were pronounced without the prenasalization, i.e. as voiced stops: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" |+ ''Voiced realization of prenasalized stops'' ! [[Prenasalized consonant|Prenasalized]] ! [[Voiced consonant|Voiced]] |- | {{IPA|mb}} || {{IPA|b}} |- | {{IPA|nd}} || {{IPA|d}} |- | {{IPA|ŋg}} || {{IPA|g}} |- | {{IPA|ɴɢ}} || {{IPA|ɢ}} |- | {{IPA|nʣ}} || {{IPA|ʣ}} |- | {{IPA|ɲʥ}} || {{IPA|ʥ}} |- | {{IPA|ndɮ}} || {{IPA|dɮ}} |} Resulting affricates were never deaffricated. In medial position before oral vowels they were pronounced as true prenasalized stops, but the same dialects that deaffricate medial lenis affricates also deaffricate medial prenasalized affricates, so that they become prenasalized fricatives: [{{IPA|nz}}], [{{IPA|ɲʑ}}] and [{{IPA|nɮ}}],[{{IPA|nl}}] or [{{IPA|lː}}] Also note that several dialects failed to deaffricate the lateral prenasalized affricate in medial position, even if they deaffricate other affricates. ===Other consonants=== Other consonant show less allophony, but [{{IPA|h}}] was usually pronounced voiced [{{IPA|ɦ}}] when in coda and before voiced consonants (i.e. /{{IPA|ɓ}}/ prenasalized stops and /{{IPA|l}}/). ==Vowels== Vowel realizations depended on the phonation type and/or the surroundings. Nasal vowels were centralized, and vowels next to an uvular (phone) was lowered/backed. Non-nasal non-backed /{{IPA|a}}({{IPA|ː}})/ was realized as [{{IPA|æ}}({{IPA|ː}})]. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" |+ ''Realizations of vowels'' ! [[Phoneme]] !

The glottal stop could not be geminated, so when a ʔ-checked syllable were followed by an initial [{{IPA|ʔ}}] the coda disappeared, but the creaky voice of the preceding vowel probably remained, once again depending on dialect. =Romanization= The romanization scheme I've chosen for PI is neither phonemical nor phonetical, but rather a practical orthography. ==Consonants== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- ! rowspan="2" colspan="3" | ! rowspan="2" | [[Bilabial consonant|Bilabial]] ! colspan="3" | [[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Alveolo-palatal consonant|Alveolo-<br />palatal]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Velar consonant|Velar]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Uvular consonant|Uvular]] ! rowspan="2" | [[Glottal consonant|Glottal]] |- style="font-size: small;" ! style="font-weight: normal;" | plain ! style="font-weight: normal;" | [[Affricate consonant|fricated]] ! style="font-weight: normal;" | [[Lateral consonant|lateral]] |- ! rowspan="6" | [[Stop consonant|Stop]] ! colspan="2" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[lenis consonant|lenis]] | b || d || z || dl || ž || g || r || (') |- ! colspan="2" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[fortis consonant|fortis]] | p || t || c || tl || č || k || q || |- ! colspan="2" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[Glottalized consonant|glottalized]] | pb || tt || cc || ttl || čč || kk || qq || |- ! rowspan="3" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;" | [[Prenasalized consonant|prenasalized]] | initial || bb || dd || zz || ddl || žž || gg || rr || |- | medial || mb || nd || nz || ndl || ňž || ŋg || ŋr || |- | nasal || m || n || n || || ň || ŋ || ŋ || |- ! colspan="3" | [[Fricative]] | || || s || || š || || || h |- ! colspan="3" | [[Approximant]] | || || || l || y || w || || |- |} Initial prenasalized consonant graphemes are used when the phoneme is in initial position and the following vowel is oral.

There are no superheavy syllables (though, there are some rare exceptions) within Pataari, as in one that has a diphthong or long vowel and closes with a consonant. So, with VV beeing a diphthong, the sylable structure follows as:<br> V | CV<br> VV | CVV<br> VC | CVV<br> A word must at least have two light syllables or one heavy one, and never end with a consonant. Stress is marked by a higher pitch on either the first heavy syllable or first light syllable if there are no heavy syllables are within the word. Every following heavy syllable carries secondary stress after that, or every other light syllable -- the final light syllable is never stressed.

All these sounds will be familiar to English speakers apart from "@". The ampersand "@" is used here to represents the glottal stop although some would argue that it would have been better to use the I.P.A. (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbol " ʔ ". The glottal stop is a consonant found in many languages. In English the feature is represented, for example, by the hyphen in uh-oh! and by the apostrophe in Hawaiʻi among those attempting an authentic pronunciation of that name. The 17 symbols chosen to represent these 17 consonants are more or less copied from Tibetan. These symbols were chosen as it was felt that : although all 17 symbols were very distinct from each other, at the same time they seemed to share a common theme. There is no correspondence between the phonetic values given here and how they are pronounced in Tibet. Also there is also no correspondence between how a sound "feels" and how it is written. If there was such a correspondence "s" would be extremely smooth, the nasals would be quite smooth and "k", "p" and "t" would be extremely angular. This does not happen. There is no scheme that gives these symbols common elements corresponding to common articulation methods. However it can be noted that "b", "p" and "m" have a common element. As do "h" and "@". Also "g" and "y" are quite similar and diachronically "g" => "y" is quite a common sound change. [[Image:Bitmap_5_Seuna.PNG]] In Seuna, these above 17 symbols are called '''mozga''' (plural '''mozgai'''). The Seuna for "alphabet" is '''mozgaiya'''. == Vowels == The vowel marks are given below. They are written above the consonants that they follow so they are demonstrated here over "d" . [[Image:Bitmap_6_Seuna.PNG]] == A short explanation of allophones == The allophone is a very interesting linguistic phenomenon. But how to explain it ... O.K. take the word "Mitsubishi". Now this is how a Native English Speaker (NES) wrote down this Japanese word in the Latin alphabet. However a Native Japanese Speaker (NJS) would have written this word as "Mitubisi" in the Latin alphabet. It is a feature of Japanese that that when "t" is followed by "u". the "t" is always released with such force, that it sounds (to a NES) as if there is an "s" between the "t" and the "u". Also a feature of Japanese is that when "s" is followed by "i", the vowel sound influences where the tongue gets close to the roof of the mouth in the making of the "s" sound, so that to a NES the sound is heard as a "sh" sound. In technical language, it would be said that "sh" is an allophonr of "s" and "ts" is an allophone of "t" in Japanese . To the NJS's ear and brain the two sounds "s" and "sh" are exactly the same and the two sounds "t" and "ts" are exactly the same. If a NES was to try and convince a NJS (who hadn't studied phonology) that "s" and "sh" were two different sounds, he could argue until he was blue in the face, the NJS just would not get it. == Allophones in Seuna == Seuna has a few allophones. One that Seuna shares with Japanese is that "s" is pronounced "sh" before "i". The I.P.A. symbol for this sound is "ʃ". I will use the I.PA. symbol from now on when transcibing this sound. Another it that when "s" is between two voiced sounds word internally, it is pronounced as "z". By the way "m y j b g d l w n a i o e and u" are voiced sounds. When the environment that produces "ʃ" and the environment that produces "z" co-exist. It is the "ʃ" sound that is prevails. For example the Seuna word meaning correct, is '''@iʃi''' and not '''@izi'''. Another allophone is that when "n" is followed by "k" or "g" it is pronounced as in the final sound in the English word "sing". The I.P.A. symbol for this sound is "ŋ". I will use the I.PA. symbol from now on when transcibing this sound. == Vowel clusters == === Clusters of 2 vowels === The six diphthongs that are made up of combinations of two of the above simple vowels are shown below. [[Image:Bitmap_99_Seuna.PNG]] === Clusters of 3 vowels === The two diphthongs that are made up of combinations of three of the simple vowels are shown below. [[Image:Bitmap_98_Seuna.PNG]] == Consonant clusters == ===Word-initial constant clusters=== In the same way that you can get sequences of vowels to flow into each other and produce diphthongs, clusters of consonants can occur. Given below is a list of consonants and consonant clusters which are allowed to start a word. There are 37 of them. {| border=1 |align=center| '''@''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| '''m''' |align=center| '''my''' |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| '''y''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| '''j''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| '''jw''' |- |align=center| '''f''' |align=center| '''fy''' |align=center| '''fl''' |align=center| |- |align=center| '''b''' |align=center| '''by''' |align=center| '''bl''' |align=center| '''bw''' |- |align=center| '''g''' |align=center| |align=center| '''gl''' |align=center| '''gw''' |- |align=center| '''d''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| '''dw''' |- |align=center| '''l''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| '''c''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| '''cw''' |- |align=center| '''s''' |align=center| |align=center| '''sl''' |align=center| '''sw''' |- |align=center| '''k''' |align=center| '''ky''' |align=center| '''kl''' |align=center| '''kw''' |- |align=center| '''p''' |align=center| '''py''' |align=center| '''pl''' |align=center| |- |align=center| '''t''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| '''tw''' |- |align=center| '''w''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| '''n''' |align=center| '''ny''' |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| '''h''' |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| |} '''z''' is an allophone of '''s''' ... when inside a word and before a voiced consonant.

The post-alveolar affricates are represented here by '''c''' and '''j''', are the initial sounds of "Charlie" and "Jimmy" respectively. . The consonant '''r''' is exceptional in that it only occurs in suffixes attached to active verbs. An off-gesture (or off-flurish) is when a consonant is immediately followed by "y","l" or "w". Off-gestures only occur word initially and are restricted to certain letters (see "initial consonant clusters" in "Seuna word shape").

Since its inception, it has gone on to become one of the "leftover" letters of the Latin alphabet, and has taken on a considerable array of phonetic values, however most commonly, one of /ʃ x ks/. ==[[Velar]]s== The three canonical values (and a few others) of ''x'' all involve velar consonants. ===Aspirated [[voiceless velar stop]]=== Or, /kʰ/. The original value of chi. Does anyone use it these days anymore? ===Cluster /ks/=== The original Latin value, as well as the value of chi in western varieties of the Greek alphabet. This is retained in several natlangs, including English, and has inspired several conlangs to prominently feature the cluster. *''Further examples here.'' ===Cluster /gz/=== The cluster has sometimes developed voice in English. *''And elsewhere?'' ===[[Voiceless velar fricative]]=== [[Spirantization]] got hang of chi in Greek by the Byzantine times, and the resulting fricativ value was handed down not only to Modern Greek, but also to the [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]] kha (Х), and doutlessly inspired by these, also to the [[IPA]]; which then begat ''x'' as /x/ in many linguist-devised Latin orthographies, natlang or conlang. *Conlang examples: [[Olaetian]] (current transliteration), [[Tirelat]], [[Zharranh]], [[Tilya]], [[Ludireo]] ==Further [[fricative]]s== Voiceless fricativ values are not uncommon for ''x'' either. ===[[Voiced alveolar fricative]]=== [[English]] pronounces initial ''x'' as /z/ in words such as ''xylophone''. The original transliteration of the [[Olaetian]] alphabet used this letter for a laminal sound /z̻/ (while the apical sound /z̺/ is written ''z''); current practice is to transcribe the laminal sound as ''ż''. ===[[Voiceless alveolar fricative]]=== For some godforsaken reason, [[Vietnamese]] and [[Hmong]] use ''x'' for /s/. *''Please don't tell me you do this (at least, if you are not Vietnamese or Hmong yourself)'' ===[[Voiceless postalveolar fricative]]=== [[Portuguese]] and [[Old Spanish]] use ''x'' for /ʃ/, a regular [[sound change]] from Latin /ks/. A large number of South American natlangs (and some elsewhere) get the same usage from them. Maltese also does this, though probably for unrelated reasons. Popular in conlangs as well. *''List examples here.'' ===[[Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative]]=== [[Pinyin]] transcription of Mandarin, likely inspired by the previous, uses ''x'' for /ɕ/. *A conlang example is [[Simik]] (a.k.a. [[Zirinka]]) ===[[Voiceless pharyngeal fricative]]=== [[Somali]] uses ''x'' for /ħ/. *''Did your conlang run out of letters, too?'' ===[[Voiceless retroflex fricative]]=== While no natlang use is known, [[Rejistanian]] writes this sound as <x> in the transliteration into the Latin alphabet. ==Other consonants== And this is why we call it a "leftover" letter. ===[[Voiced alveolar affricate]]=== /dz/ is found in [[Albanian]] and '''Pashto'''.

Some variations occur, such as /qʰ/ in Eyak. *''Conlang examples go here, etc.'' ===[[Voiceless velar stop]]=== Most of the westerly Romance languages (such as [[Spanish]]) have, subsequent to the palatalization of Latin /k/ before front vowels, also delabialized /kʷ/ in the same context. This has lead to ''qu'' (or, if you will, ''q'' with the ''u'' being silent) being used for /k/. Those West Germanic languages that have loaned ''q'' also use it for /k/, similar to Classical Latin usually only an an allograph in a cluster /kw/ or /kv/. ==Other uses== [[Pinyin]] transcription of Mandarin Chinese uses ''q'' for a voiceless [[aspirated]] palato-alveolar affricate, {{IPA|/tɕʰ/}}.

They evolved to the mountainous and highland regions, to hills and forests, where they used their impressive senses of taste and smell to track prey, their strong legs to make sudden sprints, and their strong arms to make the kill. They started making weapons, and after a few more thousand years, the Aleta arrived in Malolecta. There was a brief period where they fought each other, but after a time they began to dwell in peace, for the Atecu preferred the forests and mountains, the Aleta the plains and fields, with less trees and a more open skyline.

Yorskr Tunguh 6952 51454 2010-01-13T14:05:06Z Tropylium 756 frathification Yorskr Tunguh is an [[auxiliary language]] aimed at providing an alternative to [[English language|English]] for the inhabitants of the [[wikipedia:Yorkshire|County of Yorkshire]] (England). Yorskr Tunguh (hereafter YT) was designed by Philip Eygarth, himself a Yorkshireman. == Background == The major premise behind the creation of YT, as maintained by Eygarth himself, was to provide an awareness amongst Yorkshire people of their cultural debt to the Danish Viking. Eygarth maintains that these ancient forebears defined Yorkshire's borders, culture and even, in some areas, racial background. In creating YT he states that he believed he would help to create a better understanding amongst native Yorkshire people of their Danish Viking ancestry. == Categorization == It is difficult to define exactly where YT fits in amongst the existing categories of constructed and planned languages. Eygarth has termed YT a reconstructed language, or sometimes a surmised reconstruction, an attempt to paint a picture of the language that might have existed had pockets of Danish speakers survived into later ages, using [[Old Norse]] remnants in [[Yorkshire dialect]] and place names to discern its possible evolution. In the absence of any category which specifically caters to these idiosyncracies, however, Yorskr Tunguh is probably best referred to as a standard auxiliary languge. == Design principles == Yorskr Tunguh owes its formation to a careful examination of Yorkshire dialect. By looking at those words of Old Norse origin in Yorkshire dialect and cross-comparing them with their original forms, Eygarth claims he was swiftly able to see certain highly regimental patterns arising, patterns, which he realised, could be applied to any Old Norse word, whether existing in Yorkshire dialect or not, to create a more comprehensive lexicon. Having created such a lexicon, Eygarth then set about creating the structure that would turn his list of words into a usable language. This latter task was accomplished, to use his own words, by “erring heavily on the side of simplicity”. Yorskr Tunguh has only 41 sounds, all of which are familiar to the native of Yorkshire. These sounds are represented by 23 letters, either singularly or combined. YT is entirely [[Phonemic principle|phonetic]], only the letters “r” and “y” representing more than one sound, although even these perform according to strict and easily understandable rules. Consequently, the simplicity of YT pronunciation is such that it is claimed one may gain reasonable familiarity with its workings after only a single hour of study. == Current speakers == Currently, it is believed that only a small number of people are learning YT, around one hundred according to Eygarth. == See also == *[[Constructed language]] *[[Old Norse]] == External links == *[http://learnyorskr.110mb.com The official "Learn Yorskr" website] *[http://theyorkshirepatriot.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/yorkshires-viking-tongue/ An interview with Philip Eygarth] [[Category:Auxlangs]] Kala phrases 6953 58792 2010-12-31T22:46:02Z Qang 1187 /* Etiquette */ {{Kala 2}} ==Greetings & Farewells== * Welcome - '''ahala''' * Hello / Hi! - '''ya'ate''' (''formal'') / '''hala''' (''informal'') * Good morning - '''supu tama''' * Good day - '''yoma tama''' * Good evening / Good night - '''yohua tama''' * How are you? - '''to tayo ka''' (''lit: Your way?'') :'''to sana tayo ka''' (''lit: How your health?'') :'''ta tama ka''' (''lit: You good?'') * Good bye - '''kyoha''' * See you soon - '''amahi nanku anyatli''' (''lit: small time we will see each other'') * What's your name? - '''ke ata tayo ka''' * Where are you from? - '''te mo ta (a) ka''' * Pleased to meet you - '''ke tlaki te ta tama''' * Cheers/Good health - '''kampa''' ==Etiquette== * Please - '''tsepa''' * Thank you (very much) - '''nyasa(mha)''' * Excuse me - '''tliha''' * I'm sorry, but... - '''na tliha ehe...''' * That's a shame - '''uatla malaha''' * May I... ? - '''na ke ... myonta ka''' ==Language difficulties== * I (don't) understand / I (don't) know - '''na unya(k)''' * Please say that again / repeat that - '''tsepa ta'etla kalamye''' * Please speak more slowly - '''tsepa ma tlena kala''' * Please write it down - '''tsepa ta'etla moya''' * How do you say ...? - '''to ... etla kala ka''' * Do you speak ...? - '''ta ke ... kala ka''' * Do you understand? - '''ta unya ka''' ==Times & Dates== * What time is it? - '''ama ka''' (''lit: time INT'') / '''tsima ka''' (''lit: hour INT'') * It's one o'clock. - '''ke tsima na'o a''' * It's a quarter past two. - '''ke tsima ima'o te ta'o a''' * It's eight pm. - '''ke tsima taue'o a''' * It's half-past 5. - '''ke tsima ita'o te ya'o a''' * What day is it? - '''iyoma a ka''' :*'''nayoma''' - Thursday :*'''tayoma''' - Friday :*'''hayoma''' - Saturday :*'''mayoma''' - Sunday :*'''yomaya''' - Monday :*'''tsayoma''' - Tuesday :*'''kayoma''' - Wednesday * yesterday - '''yomaye''' * today - '''iyoma''' * tomorrow - '''yomatli''' * last - '''-ye''' / next - '''-tli''' * night - '''yohua''' * week - '''sema''' * month - '''sayo''' * year - '''anyo''' * morning - '''supu''' * afternoon - '''pyeua''' * evening - '''suaye''' * What date is it today? - '''ke sayoma ka''' / '''itla sayoma ka''' * It's October 18<sup>th</sup>. - '''yoma ha'o te sayo ueta'o a''' == Index == {{Kala index}} [[Category:Kala]] File:Bitmap 29 Seuna.PNG 6954 49967 2009-10-30T14:57:12Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 30 Seuna.PNG 6955 49970 2009-10-30T23:02:22Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 31 Seuna.PNG 6956 49972 2009-10-31T01:11:40Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 32 Seuna.PNG 6957 49975 2009-10-31T01:43:52Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 33 Seuna.PNG 6958 49978 2009-10-31T06:15:03Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 34 Seuna.PNG 6959 49980 2009-10-31T06:29:14Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 35 Seuna.PNG 6960 49983 2009-10-31T13:22:48Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 36 Seuna.PNG 6961 49984 2009-10-31T13:23:29Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 37 Seuna.PNG 6962 49987 2009-10-31T14:22:40Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 38 Seuna.PNG 6963 49988 2009-10-31T14:23:25Z Staigard 752 File:Cons moya.PNG 6964 49996 2009-11-01T14:06:22Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] [[Category:Moya]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] File:Vows moya kalai.PNG 6965 51353 2010-01-07T02:55:43Z Qang 1187 Blanked the page File:Vows moya ukaha.PNG 6966 51352 2010-01-07T02:55:11Z Qang 1187 Blanked the page File:Vows moya kalai 2.PNG 6967 51354 2010-01-07T02:57:08Z Qang 1187 Blanked the page File:Moyamedium 2.png 6968 50006 2009-11-01T14:35:52Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] [[Category:Moya]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] File:Bitmap 39 Seuna.PNG 6969 50008 2009-11-02T04:07:36Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 40 Seuna.PNG 6970 50011 2009-11-02T10:29:36Z Staigard 752 File:Bitmap 41 Seuna.PNG 6971 50013 2009-11-02T10:40:08Z Staigard 752 Old European hydronymy 6972 50032 2009-11-02T18:01:01Z WeepingElf 43 The '''Old European hydronymy''' is an apparently uniform network of recurring river names which spans most of Central and Western Europe. This network was discovered by the German linguist Hans Krahe, who coined the term. It is, however, controversial whether this is a real phenomenon or just a case of chance resemblance, and, if real, which language family is to be held "responsible" for these names. ==Theories about the Old European hydronymy== ===Krahe's theory=== Hans Krahe ascribed the Old European hydronymy to an [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European language]] which, according to him, was the common ancestor of Italic, Celtic, Germanic, Baltic and possibly Slavic. His evidence consists of proposed Indo-European etymologies for the river names which consist of verbs, adjectvies and nouns with meanings which are, for the most part, appropriate to the description of natural watercourses. However, there are two problems with this hypothesis. ''First'', these languages are not characterized by any shared innovation and do not seem to form a valid node in the Indo-European family tree; ''second'', the "Old European" river names, while seemingly having Indo-European etymologies, do not reflect the characteristic sound changes of the languages in which they are found and are thus more likely to be borrowed rather than inherited. For example, the Old European river names show a predominant /a/-vocalism which looks quite un-Indo-European, while the vowels /e/ and /o/ which are frequent in Indo-European appear to have been absent, or where they occur, appear to be of secondary origin. ====Schmidt's revision of Krahe's theory==== Another German linguist, Wolfgang Paul Schmid (a student of Krahe), addressed the first problem by assuming that Krahe's Old European was [[Wikipedia:Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] itself, which he localized in central Europe. This is widely rejected today as few linguists nowadays consider a central European homeland of PIE likely, and it doesn't solve the second problem. ===Vennemann's theory=== The second problem was addressed by Theo Vennemann (again, a German linguist) who proposed that Old European was not an Indo-European language at all, but related to [[Basque]]. Vennemann produced some twenty scholarly papers on this hypothesis, which are collected in the volume ''Europa Vasconica - Europa Semitica'' (de Gruyter, 2003). According to Vennemann, 'Vasconic' languages were spoken all across Europe west of a line that approximately runs from Riga to northern Dalmatia. (East of that line, [[Wikipedia:Uralic languages|Uralic]] was spoken in the north and Indo-European in the south; in the British Isles, Vennemann assumes, an [[Wikipedia:Afro-Asiatic languages|Afro-Asiatic language]] was spoken, but at an even earlier time, the British Isles, which take part in the Old European hydronymy, had also been Vasconic-speaking.) However, Vennemann's Vasconic etymologies are very weak and contrived, and the distribution of the Old European river names shows a gap in the area between the Garonne and Ebro rivers - exactly the only area where we know that Basque or something related to it was ever spoken. A closer inspection of Vennemann's work reveals a number of methodological problems. For instance, he assumes that Europe north of the Alps was uninhabited by humans before the end of the last Ice Age. This assumption is wrong; evidence for human habitation in central Europe during the Ice Age was found at Ahrensburg north-east of Hamburg. In light of this, a linguistic uniformity of prehistoric Europe north of the Alps seems unlikely. Also, it is not generally true that, as Krahe assumes, cities are older than the surrounding villages. There are many known cases of cities which are ''younger'' than the surrounding villages. Vennemann also shows a strong tendency towards re-etymologizing semantically transparent names such as ''Ebersberg'' and ''Bischofsheim'' (both names refer to towns in Bavaria) as "Vasconic". An important problem is that he manages to reconcile the evidence of Old European place names with Basque data only by brute force. The Old European names do not at all look like Basque, and he has to take recourse to such unparsimonious assumptions as an Italic intermediate substratum in Germany and the British Isles(!) to explain the typological mismatch between Basque and the Old European names. ===Rhiemeier's theory=== [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] has his own ideas about the Old European hydronymy. He assumes that the names are from a sister family of Indo-European which he names "[[Hesperic]]". The /a/-centred vocalism of the unknown language preserves a state that existed in Proto-Indo-European before the rise of ablaut. Together, Hesperic and Indo-European form the [[Europic]] language family.

Gilson''' on August 30, 2009. It was developed as a result of an inquiry made somewhat earlier about [[Voksigid]] to its creator, asking whether it was open for learning by the Conlang learner's group. Though ultimately Voksigid was not chosen, the interest that was shown in it encouraged the creator of Voksigid to do some more public language construction. Not to do anything that would hurt the chances of somebody learning Voksigid, but to put some more of his ideas in a form that could be used in a '''later project of the same type.''' Trari is the first of his creations to be compiled into such a form. ==Purpose== Trari is what some people have called an '''"engineered language"''' or '''"[[engelang]],"''' though its creator prefers to call these types of constructed languages '''"experimental languages."''' That is to say, it is designed to provide features that the constructor might want to see whether they would be interesting, perhaps even to see if the mental processes involved in composing thoughts into a special language might give some insights into meaning. Probably the best-known of these languages are the "logical languages" such as [[Loglan]] and its offshoot, [[Lojban]]. Voksigid also falls into this category, but the particular ideas behind Trari are almost 180&deg; removed from Voksigid. The inspirations for Trari are three in number: #Lojban was designed to have '''self-segregation,''' which means that the word divisions are obvious in a stream of spoken sounds in the language. While self-segregation was rejected for Voksigid, the idea has some interest to its creator, and, after seeing [http://conlang.wikia.com/index.php?title=List_of_self-segregating_morphology_methods&oldid=28668 some ideas for how to produce self-segregation in a constructed language] very recently, felt that some of them seemed rather far-fetched in terms of whether anyone could actually employ the rules on the fly, and others would so restrict the phonology of the language that the number of reasonably different sounding words would be exceedingly small. In Trari, an attempt was made to avoid both these problems; whether the attempt has succeeded is one of the things that will be found out if anyone chooses to learn it. #Many years ago the language creator saw the specifications of [[Vorlin]], created by [[Rick Harrison]]. While there were not a lot of things that he liked about in it, there was one that he thought '''extremely''' interesting: its radically limited inventory of verbs. (Vorlin has gone through many changes in the ensuing years; apparently this particular feature of Vorlin changed in about 1996, but the reference here is to the particular phase in Vorlin's development which was seen by the Trari's creator.) Actually, it was only the '''basic''' verbs that were so few in number; Vorlin made a lot of verb-plus-noun compounds that functioned as verbs, but the need to combine these into single words was not really there; the fact is that only '''four''' verbs sufficed for the whole language: '''be, become,''' and two others. Trari is based on this concept of having a '''minimal inventory of verbs,''' with copulative-verb-plus-noun phrases used to replace nearly all of the verbs of typical languages. (The comparison to Voksigid, where '''verbs''' are basic and nouns are verb derivatives, illustrates how oppositely-conceived Trari and Voksigid are.) #In the design of Voksigid, the use of large numbers of prepositional phrases led to a problem in analyzing the dependencies. If there are two prepositional phrases in a row, do they both modify the same noun, or do they '''nest,''' with the second phrase modifying the object of the preposition in the first? While a solution was arrived at (see rule 6 of the [[Voksigid syntax]] document), the language creator was not totally happy with it. The Trari '''"circumposition"''' rule was designed as a different way of handling such typs of syntax problems, which really occur in all languages with prepositional phrases. Trari was not intended to be proposed as an international auxiliary language. The self-segregation requires that the morphemes/lexemes be fitted to a fairly strict phonological pattern, which means that it is impossible to make maximal use of internationally-recognizable forms, which to the language creator is an indispensible requirement for an IAL. ==Trari vs. Praet== While developing Trari, the creator of the kanguage came up with some additional ideas which seemed inappropriate to change Trari to incorporate, so he began another project, [[Praet]]. Praet incorporates some concepts shared with Trari, and differs in some ways. Because of the priority of Trari, the discussion of '''Trari''' here will not generally refer to '''Praet''' at all, but the discussion of Praet will reference Trari where it is useful to do so. ==Vocabulary== Trari, at present, has an extremely limited vocabulary. This is not a deliberate design feature; it merely means that only those words that were needed to demonstrate how Trari works. If anyone is interested in the language, the creator of the language should be contacted so the vocabulary can be expanded to something usable. As Trari has not been planned as an IAL, the vocabulary has been derived in a fairly arbitrary manner: some words/morphemes from existing languages ('''nye''' from Russian, '''smao''' from English and Scandinavian, etc.) looking for forms that meet Trari's [[Trari word structure rules|word structure rules]], without any consistency in the choice of sources, while randomly constructing others in an ''a priori'' manner. ==References== [http://ViewsOfLanguage.host56.com/trari Trari home page] Iverinian 6994 50175 2009-11-08T15:22:17Z WeepingElf 43 moved [[Iverinian]] to [[Ivernic]] #REDIRECT [[Ivernic]] Category:Diachronic conlangs 6995 50186 2009-11-08T15:40:04Z WeepingElf 43 [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Naturalistic conlangs]] Category:Artlangs 6996 50185 2009-11-08T15:39:07Z WeepingElf 43 Created page with '[[Category:Conlangs]]' [[Category:Conlangs]] Category:Naturalistic conlangs 6997 50188 2009-11-08T15:40:47Z WeepingElf 43 [[Category:Conlangs]] Neck Albic 6998 50205 2009-11-08T16:13:25Z WeepingElf 43 Created page with ''''Neck Albic''' is a branch of the [[Albic]] language family, consisting of the single language [[Brishkan]].'

To quote the rules: <blockquote> Each person in turn [...] creates one new rule and one new root, plus some examples to show the consequences, and passes it on to the next person on the list. When it gets back to me, we start another loop, and keep going for as long as we feel necessary. </blockquote> The grammar presented here is from the end of '''round 5'''. ==Game organisation== The current turn order is #Pete Bleackley #Matthew Turnbull #Daniel Demski #[[User:Tropylium|John Vertical]] #Alex Fink #Patrick Dunn #Mechthild Czapp #Alex Bicksler and back to Pete Bleackley to complete the round. ===Past Participants=== *Gary Shannon *Vincent Pistelli *Brett Williams ==Grammar== ===Morphology=== *Roots are CVC and verbal in meaning *Verbal 1st person is indicated by derivational suffix [-af] which triggers spirant lenition. Ex. bivaf - I ask, tiɣaf - I speak, tsʼuð˜af - I die. *Verbal 2nd person is marked by the suffix -es, which changes the stem analogue to the 1st person. Frex: ha bives: you asked, vijes: you create (if I understood rule 1 correctly) *Verbal 3rd person is indicated by the suffix [-ú], which also triggers spirant lenition Ex. ha vivú - it grew, ha vivivu ívib i.ɔ - the plants each grew very quickly *Dual verbal number is indicated by the particle [i.ɔ] at the end of the clause. *Plural verbal number is indicated by reduplicating the VC of the verbal root, copying any lenition. When [iɔ] cooccurs with this it has distributive rather than dual force. Eg. kʼéχéχaf - we (all) come (together), kʼéχéχaf iɔ - we (all) come one at a time. *The General Future tense indicates that an event has not yet occurred. It is formed by the preverbal particle [bó]. This tense is used whether or not the action is intended to occur in the futur, or was supposed to happen in the past and did not. In the case that the action is supposed to be in the futur, the particle recieves primary phrasal stress and may be reduplicated. Ex. bó suɣ̃af suŋŋ - the field has not been ploughed by me, perhaps I will later. bó bó suɣ̃af suŋŋ - I will plough the field. *Simple past is marked by the particle "ha" before the verb. Ex. ha bivaf iɔ - We two asked. *There is a different past tense for events which happened before the conscious lifetime of the speaker or in myths. This tense uses the particle "χu". It can also be used instead of "ha" to indicate that the speaker is unsure about the truth of the statement. "χu bives" You asked (either before my lifetime or only maybe) *The passive voice is formed by prefixing é to the stem and gemminating the first consonant: Ha ébbivú: He was asked. *A prefix [í-] derives agents (also, it seems, some experiencers/undergoers from intransitiv roots). Note this being mark'd for high tone - default tone is not indicated. This also does not trigger spirantization. Eg. [ítig] "speaker", [ítsʼun] "mortal", [íkʼeb] "man" *Patient nouns are formed by infixing a homoorganic nasal before the last consonant **bimb - question **boimb - attempt **kant - arrow **tiŋg - word **vent - sight **viñj - artefact *A tool or body part can be derived from an agent noun by infixing a homoorganic nasal before the first consonant, and moving the high pitch onto the second syllable. *Names of birds can be formed by suffixing -at to a word *The intensive of the verbal root is formed by suffixing -aq, which triggers gemination of the previous consonant. Eg. [bib] "to ask" [bibbaq] "to interrogate"; [tig] "to speak" [tiggaq] "to give a speech." *The imparativ mode is express'd by changing the person suffix' initial vowel to <e> and geminating the root-final consonant (if not geminated yet). **kattes - Shoot! (singular) **katattes - Shoot! (plural) **katattef - Let us shoot! (plural) **tiggaχes - Give a speech! (sing.) (Not *tiggaqqes nor *tigggaχes) **tigiggaχes - Give speeches! (plur.) *Hypothetical situations require the Subjunctive 1. This mood inserts kem in front of the verb or the tense preposition: **Example: ha vivú: it grew **kem ha vivú: it grew (subjunctive 1) *Collective nouns are formed by prefixing ŋ- to nouns that begin with vowels, or lu- to nouns that begin with consonants *A participle is formed from the verb by spirant lenition and appending a vowel, [-e] if the stem vowel is front and [-o] if it's not. Participles do not distinguish active from passive. **k'eb "be male", k'eve "male (adj.)" **tap "break", tafo "broken" or "which has broken s.t." *Nominal paucal number is derived from count nouns by the suffix [-ól], for mass nouns this derivational process signifies a sufficiency of the noun. **bimból - a few questions **kantól - a few arrows **ventól - some sights **boimból - a few attempts **íbetsʼól - sufficient sand *Reduplication of adjectives creates abstract nominatives. A reduplicated tone loses its tone on the second syllable. **hóv – to be good **hóvhov – goodness *Addendum: If the root ends in a stop, the onset is geminated instead of forming a cluster: **nuk - to be female **nunnuk - womanhood (*nuknuk) *Possessive pronouns are treated as participles formed from the pronominal root. **gɔs - "I" **gɔso - "my" **sɛt - "you" **sɛse -- "your" **bimb gɔso "my question" *Non-pronominal possessors are cast using a third person pronoun tocarry the possessive marking, which cliticises to the possessing noun. **intán lɛqatɔso - "a goose's leg" **ínukól ísuŋóltsoio - "two ploughmen's wives" (lit. "women") *A prefix [du-] marks instrumental case. An initial vowel* will be replaced, but its tone will remain. **dukant - with an arrow **duntáp - with an axe **dumvíj - with a tool **dúbetsʼ - with sand *We only have examples with [i] so far, so it's possible this only happens before sufficiently close vowels. *A prefix [tsʼɛ-] marks locative case. Underlying [ɛ.i] contracts to [e] (other initial vowels may do other things). Again, high tone remains. **tsʼɛqump - in a hole **tsʼentán - on the leg **tsʼésasaq - in water *The prefix gi indicates the comitative case. A vowel at the beginning of the word will be replaced but its tone retained: ;giNqúpat: with the woodpecker ===Syntax=== *I thought I'd gently dip our toes in some larger structure, with conjunctions that go between phrases, for instance "vigi" meaning "because", that is that the first clause is implied, caused or motivated by the second: **"tiggaχes vigi ha bivaf" -- You give a speech because I asked. **"ha boivaf iɔ vigi kʼeves" -- We two tried because you're a man. **"tsʼununnaχes iɔ vigi ha kʼéχéχes" -- You each die a terrible death because you all came. *Word order is VSO but pronouns, if present, go before the verb. When the subject, pronouns match the number of the verb, and are correspondingly distributive or collective. *tsai ha vet íbetsʼaqól iɔ - The two saw enough powder (flour). *tsov gɔs vetet iɔ - Each sees me. *Modifiers of the noun follow the noun they modify. **kant tafo - broken arrow *Negation of finite verb phrases is sometimes accomplished with tsele coming after the verb. However, many verbs have irregular negations, accomplished with (often unrelated) participles placed in apposition with the subject. Note, it is often the words which do not have clear opposites which have irregular negation. A clear opposite is one which would be synonymous with negation- for example, "he does not ask" is not synonymous with "he answers", so it gains an irregular negation; but "he does not die" is synonymous with "he lives", so both are acceptable things to say. The irregular opposite participles are not used as full, independent verbs. Examples: **bivu tontevigi sɛt tajo - He asks although you are not asking. **kʼéχú tsele - He does not come; synonymous with neŋ *To join nominal phrases involving oblique cases/clitics (such as the preceding three) into one, a general-purpose particle /kai/ is used. With the comitative case, this functions as a general "A and B" expression. **kasaf suŋŋat kai tsʼentán - I shoot a thrush on the leg (it was sitting on some previously discussed leg) **Contrast: kasaf suŋŋat tsʼentán - I shoot a thrush in the leg (I hit its leg) **vesaf íkat kai gílɛq - I see an archer and a guard **Contrast: vesaf íkat gílɛq - I see (that there is) an archer with theguard *Relative clause formations are nominative-accusative in nature, and they involve a gap strategy with a nominative relativizer [kolí], or an accusative relativizer [kɛl] like so : **[ kasaf lɛqat ] - I shoot a goose **[ bó tsʼus̃ú lɛqat ] - the goose has not died, but probably will **[ kasaf lɛqat kolí bó tsʼus̃ú ] - I shoot the goose that will die (probably). **[ bó tsʼus̃ú lɛqat kɛl kasaf ] - the goose that I'm shooting will probably die *One way of forming yes/no questions is by adding the word ɔ́lɛv (there) to a sentence. This is considered formal, which means it is the form of yes/no questions used by respected individuals, as well as the form more politely used when quoting someone directly. ɔ́lɛv can go wherever the speaker desires in the sentence. Examples: **χu veTeTes saNq ɔ́lɛv: **Did you see the statue? Literally: You (pl.) saw (in the dist. past) the statue there? (Something like English, "you saw the statue now?" or "did you see it then?") *More on formality. Those who speak formally do so as a part of their identity, not based on context. A major life change must accompany a decision to begin speaking formally or cease to do so. However, it is preferred in both direct quotes and most indirect discourse to use formal structures, even often when quoting onesself. A departure from this is seen as very deliberate disrespect. *Adverbs of time occur after the verb, but before the subject. **bó tsʼuð˜ú saulam - S/he will die soon **viddzes saulam kantól - Make some arrows soon!

The family is divided to Udmurt and Komi; the Permyak dialect of Komi is sometimes also included as a separate language. ==Vowels== ''Note: /ɤ/ here is actually a mid vowel, from the [ɤ̈] ~ [ɘ] ~ [ɵ] ballpark.'' A schematic reconstruction of the proto-Permic vowel system: * Stable vowels: '''*i *ɨ *uu *e *ɤ *a''' ** Regular origins: *u, *ü_a → *ɨ; *ü_i *i → *i; *ë → *uu; ??; *ëx → *ɤ; ?? *** Presumably: y → ʉ / _a, then u → ʉ, finally y ʉ → i ɨ. ** Length in *uu is purely hypothetical; this is to mark that unlike the vowel denoted *u (perhaps [ʊ]?), it is not subject to unrounding in Udmurt. * Derounding (short?) vowels: '''*ö *o *u''' → Udmurt /o o ɨ/ ~ Komi /e ɤ u/ ** No real regular origin ** (There does not seem to be an *ü → **/i/ ~ **/ü/.) * A series of (long?) vowels close in Udmurt but mid in Komi: '''*oo *ɤɤ''' → U. /u ɨ/ ~ K. /o ɤ/ ** In Komi, initial cases acquire a preceding /v/. ** Expected *oo becomes /a/ in Komi, when an older (non-surviving) intervocalic *t follos. This is written as *oo<sup>ð</sup>. ** Regular origins: *e *a → *oo; … * A series of (long?) vowels open in Udmurt but mid in Komi: '''*åå *aa''' → U. /a a/ ~ K. /o ɤ/ ** Regular origins: ??; *äl → *aa * The vowels reconstructed here as "long" seem to result mostly from PU *open vowels, those reconstructed as "short" mostly from PU *close vowels. * Awaiting explanation ** '''/i/ ~ /ɯ/''' (*ńëxli, *künči, *jürä) ** A trubbling amount of correspondences predominantly found as supposed sporadic developments from [[Proto-Uralic/Ä|*ä]] *** The most prominent of these is '''*o'''. *** '''/e/ ~ /ɤ/''' (all a-stems: *pära, *säppa, *kärta, *läśa, *käna, *käća) *** '''/i/ ~ /(j)e/''' (*śäŋki, *läppa, *wü/äðim, *ilma) (*ee? "marrow" also U. /-ijɯ-/) *** '''/ɨ/ ~ /e/''' (*wäśka, *läxmi, *mäćV - might be a split from *ɯ or *ɤɤ) *** '''/ɨ/ ~ /o/''' (*läkti-, *mäjaka, *kaðʲa-, *saala, *kaasi) *** /ɤ/ ~ /e/ (*pÄĺka) *** /a/ ~ /e/ (*käliw) (*ää?) *** /ä/ ~ /o/ (*täji) (does /ä/ even exist in Udmurt?? would be *åå otherwise) ** /wi/ ~ /uji/ (*kôlmi - from *uujV?) ** /ɨ/ ~ /i/ (*ćara, ćilV) ** /u/ ~ /ɨ/ (*to, *süli, *käpsa, *jewa, *lixwa) ** /u/ ~ /e/ (*satVr, *ponti) ** /u/ ~ /ɤ/ (*śüćV, *süD´än) ** /u/ ~ /a/ (*wanša) ** /e/ ~ /o(j)/ (*kixi-ma, *mińa, *kiśka-) ** /ɤ/ ~ /i/ (*kiwi) ** /ɤ/ ~ /ɨ/ (*nôla) ** /ɤ/ ~ /o/ (*kAl-) ** /o/ ~ /i/ (*wixća-, *wita (or *ô?)) ** /o/ ~ /a/ (*čokV-) ** /a/ ~ /u/ (*vooti) - reverse of expected outcome, may be data mixup?

There is no accepted explanation for the origin of this contrast (outside of the change of initial *r → ''?'' *dr → /dʐ/ in Udmurt), and some words even have voiced/voiceless variants. In several cases, apparently a voiceless initial assimilates to a voiced medial: * *künči >> *kidž > '''*giž''' * *kenta >> *kid > '''*gid''' * *kumpa >> *kɨb > '''*gɨb''' * *ponči >> *bɤɤdž > '''*bɤɤž''' * *sonta >> *suud > '''*zuud''' * *čeŋki >> *čog > U.

[[User:Ave matthew|ave mathyiw at maye]] :I think it's in the spirit of the game to just decide oneself on answers to these questions if they worry one.

It is therefore very close to other languages such as [[Spanish]], [[Aragonese]] and [[Catalan]], although it contains important similarities with [[Galician]]-[[Portuguese]], [[Occitan]], [[French]] and [[Italian]]. There are some germanic traces, especially from [[English]] and [[German]]. Its [[phonology]] is very close to that of the Catalan dialect spoken in [[Valencia]] ([[Spain]]), the so-called [[Valencian]]. Any person who is able to read texts written in Spanish, Catalan, Occitan or Italian, would not have any problems when reading something in '''Angelian'''. ==About the tildes== In '''Angelian''' there are some graphic symbols which are written over certain vowels to help the pronunciation. They are the [[tilde|nasal tilde]] ( ~ ), the [[acute accent]] ( ´ ), the [[grave accent]] ( ` ), the [[diaeresis]] ( ¨ ) and the [[breve]] symbol ( &#259; ): <center> &atilde; &#259; à è é &#297; ì ï &otilde; ò &#361; ù ü </center> ==Nouns== [[Noun]]s can be [[masculine]] or [[feminine]] in [[grammatical gender|gender]], [[singular]] or [[plural]] in [[number]]: * As a general rule, in singular all feminine nouns end in '''-a'''. Masculine nouns can end in any other letter. * As a general rule, in order to form plural you add '''-s'''. When the word ends in '''-ix''', '''-ll''', '''-nn''', '''-s''', '''-z''', '''-ç''', you add '''-es'''. ==Adjectives== [[Adjective]]s can be [[masculine]] or [[feminine]] in [[grammatical gender|gender]], [[singular]] or [[plural]] in [[number]]. They can appear before or after the [[noun]] they accompany, but always before other possible [[determiner]]s, such as [[article (grammar)|articles]], possessive or demonstrative ones, among others. Adjectives always agree in gender and in number with the nount they accompany. ==Determinate articles== <center> <table width="75%" border="1"> <tr> <td width="33%">&nbsp;</td> <th width="33%">Singular</th> <th width="33%">Plural</th> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="2">Masculine</th> <td>ou</td> <td rowspan="2">ous</td> </tr> <tr> <td>oul'</td> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="2">Feminine</th> <td>a</td> <td rowspan="2">as</td> </tr> <tr> <td>al'</td> </tr> </table> </center> These [[article]]s are used mainly to constrain the extension of the [[noun]] they accompany to entities already known by the interlocutors. They correspond in [[English]] to '''the'''. * '''Ou''' and '''a''' are used before singular nouns that begin by a [[consonant]] other than '''h''' (this is a mute letter). They are already used before nouns beginning with the [[Semivowel|semiconsonant]]s '''j''' or '''w'''. * '''Oul'''' and '''al'''' are used before singular nouns that begin by a [[vowel]] or by '''h'''. In this case, there is a word bonding, so that the last letter of a word (the article) is bonded when pronouncing to the first letter of the following word. This is represented by an [[apostrophe (mark)|apostrophe]] ( ' ). These words are also written without intermediate blank spaces. * The articles '''ous''' (masculine) and '''as''' (feminine) are used for plural. ==Indeterminate articles== <center> <table width="75%" border="1"> <tr> <td width="33%">&nbsp;</td> <th width="33%">Singular</th> <th width="33%">Plural</th> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="2">Masculine</th> <td>&#361;</td> <td rowspan="2">&#361;ns</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&#361;n'</td> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="2">Feminine</th> <td>una</td> <td rowspan="2">unas</td> </tr> <tr> <td>un'</td> </tr> </table> </center> These articles are used with the noun they accompany, to show that it represents an unknown entity for the interlocutors, which is mentioned for the first time in the conversation, or which is going to be described in a vague and indefinite way. They correspond to the [[English]] '''a/an'''. * '''&#360;''' and '''una''' are used before singular nouns beginning with a consonant, other than '''h'''. They are also used before nouns beginning with the [[semiconsonant]]s '''j''' or '''w'''. * '''&#360;n'''' and '''un''' are used with singular nouns beginning with a vowel or with '''h'''. In this case, there is a word bonding, so that the last letter of a word (the article) is bonded when pronouncing to the first letter of the following word. This is represented by an [[apostrophe (mark)|apostrophe]] ('). These words are also written without intermediate blank spaces. * The articles '''&#361;ns''' (masculine) and '''unas''' (feminine) are written for plural. ==Possessive determiners and pronouns== The possessive words indicate who the owner of something is. The possessed thing is specified by the noun they accompany. They agree in gender and number with this noun, but as well, they agree in person and number with the owner/s. These determiners have the same form as the corresponding [[pronoun]]s in '''Angelian''', so in order to distinguish them, you have to look for the accompanied noun. They correspond in [[English]] to the determiners '''my''', '''your''' (singular), '''his''', '''her''', '''its''', '''our''', '''your''' (plural) and '''their''', as well as the pronouns '''mine''', '''yours''' (singular), '''his''', '''hers''', '''its''', '''ours''', '''yours''' (plural) and '''theirs'''. <center> <table width="100%" border="1"> <tr> <td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td> <th colspan="2">Masculine</th> <th colspan="2">Feminine</th> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td> <th>Singular</th> <th>Plural</th> <th>Singular</th> <th>Plural</th> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="3">Singular</th> <th>1st Person</th> <td>mou / moul'</td> <td>mous</td> <td>ma / mal'</td> <td>mas</td> </tr> <tr> <th>2nd Person</th> <td>tou / toul'</td> <td>tous</td> <td>ta / tal'</td> <td>tas</td> </tr> <tr> <th>3rd Person</th> <td>sou / soul'</td> <td>sous</td> <td>sa/ sal'</td> <td>sas</td> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="3">Plural</th> <th>1st Person</th> <td>nou / noul'</td> <td>nous</td> <td>na / nal'</td> <td>nas</td> </tr> <tr> <th>2nd Person</th> <td>vou / voul'</td> <td>vous</td> <td>va / val'</td> <td>vas</td> </tr> <tr> <th>3rd Person</th> <td>sou / soul'</td> <td>sous</td> <td>sa / sal'</td> <td>sas</td> </tr> </table> </center> The forms ending in '''-l'''' are used in the same way as '''oul'''', '''al'''', '''&#361;n'''' and '''un'''', this is, before words beginning with a vowel or '''h'''. ==Personal pronouns== The personal pronouns indicate the grammatical persons. There are two types: * Tonic, with full meaning and stress. * Atonic, without full meaning, nor stress, so they cannot be used alone in a sentence. Some atonic pronouns are used with the so-called pronominal verbs. These pronouns just give a special meaning to the verb (which usually presents both versions, a pronominal one and a non-pronominal one), usually a reflexive or reciprocal meaing. <center> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="2" rowspan="2">&nbsp;</td> <th rowspan="2">Tonic</th> <th colspan="2">Atonic</th> </tr> <tr> <th>Not pronominal</th> <th>Pronominal</th> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="3">Singular</th> <th>1st Person</th> <td>jo</td> <td>mi</td> <td>mi</td> </tr> <tr> <th>2nd Person</th> <td>tu</td> <td>ti</td> <td>ti</td> </tr> <tr> <th>3rd Person</th> <td>ill<br>illa<br>se</td> <td>ou / oul' / ïu / si<br>a / al' / ïa / si</td> <td>si</td> </tr> <tr> <th rowspan="3">Plural</th> <th>1st Person</th> <td>nos</td> <td>nus</td> <td>nus</td> </tr> <tr> <th>2nd Person</th> <td>vos</td> <td>vus</td> <td>vus</td> </tr> <tr> <th>3rd Person</th> <td>illes<br>illas</td> <td>ous / ïus / si<br>as / ïas / si</td> <td>si</td> </tr> </table> </center> Notes: * The direct object pronouns for the 3rd person are: '''ou''', '''oul'''', '''a''', '''al'''', '''ous''', '''as'''. They correspond in [[English]] to '''him''', '''her''', '''it''', '''them'''. * The indirect object pronouns for the 3rd person are: '''ïu''', '''ïa''', '''ïus''', '''ïas'''. They also correspond in [[English]] to '''him''', '''her''', '''it''', '''them'''. * Impersonal sentences do not have a real subject. In practice you can use the pronoun '''se''', which compensates the lack of a subject. The corresponding verb is always conjugated in the third person of singular. Examples: '''se plugge''' (it is raining), '''se njeixe''' (it is snowing), '''s'eh fret''' (it is cold), '''s'eh caude''' (it is warm). ==Preposition + article unions== Some [[preposition]]s followed by a determinate article are contracted into one single word. This is the case of '''ne''' (in) and '''de''' (of). In case they are followed by a word beginning by a vowel or '''h''' (included the indeterminate article), they suffer a bonding and become '''n'''' and '''d'''', respectively. Bear in mind that the preposition '''a''' (at/to) is never contracted with an article, and becomes '''ad''' when it is followed by a vowel or '''h'''. <center> <table border="1"> <tr> <th colspan="2">Preposition + article</th> <th>With contraction</th> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="4">ne +</td> <td>+ ou</td> <td>= nou</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ ous</td> <td>= nous</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ a</td> <td>= na</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ as</td> <td>= nas</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="4">de +</td> <td>+ ou</td> <td>= dou</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ ous</td> <td>= dous</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ a</td> <td>= da</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ as</td> <td>= das</td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2">Preposition + Article</th> <th>With bonding</th> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="6">ne +</td> <td>+ &#361;</td> <td>= n'&#361;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ &#361;n'</td> <td>= n'&#361;n'</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ &#361;ns</td> <td>= n'&#361;ns</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ una</td> <td>= n'una</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ un'</td> <td>= n'un'</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ unas</td> <td>= n'unas</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="6">de +</td> <td>+ &#361;</td> <td>= d'&#361;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ &#361;n'</td> <td>= d'&#361;n'</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ &#361;ns</td> <td>= d'&#361;ns</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ una</td> <td>= d'una</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ un'</td> <td>= d'un'</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ unas</td> <td>= d'unas</td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2">Preposition + Article</th> <th>Without contraction nor bonding</th> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="4">a +</td> <td>+ ou</td> <td>= ad ou</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ ous</td> <td>= ad ous</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ a</td> <td>= ad a</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ as</td> <td>= ad as</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="6">a +</td> <td>+ &#361;</td> <td>= ad &#361;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ &#361;n'</td> <td>= ad &#361;n'</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ &#361;ns</td> <td>= ad &#361;ns</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ una</td> <td>= ad una</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ un'</td> <td>= ad un'</td> </tr> <tr> <td>+ unas</td> <td>= ad unas</td> </tr> </table> </center> ==Verbs== [[Verb]]s are much easier in '''Aingelj&atilde;''' than in other languages: * All the verbs are regular. * There is only one [[grammatical conjugation|conjugation]], as all the verbs have converged into the first [[Latin]] conjugation: '''-are''' > '''-re'''. * There is no [[subjunctive]] mood. The only irregular verbs are the auxiliary ones: '''es&#259;re''' (to be), which is used in the passive voice, and '''haure''' (to have), which is used in the compound tenses. These verbs are irregular only in present tense. In the remainder cases, they follow the regular rules. All the [[infinitive]]s end in '''-re''', [[present participle]]s in '''-ant''', and [[past participle]]s in '''-at'''. Each conjugated form is created out of a [[lexeme]] plus some special endings or [[morpheme]]s for each person. It is not mandatory (but recommendable) that the [[subject (grammar)|subject]] of the sentence always appears, as it can be identified by the verbal ending. '''Verbal tenses:''' There is only [[indicative]] mood with the following types of tenses: * Simple, formed out of the lexeme of the verb plus personal endings. There are six tenses: present, imperfect past, undefined past, future, conditional and imperative. • Compound, formed with '''haure''' + past participle ('''-at'''). There are five tenses: perfect, pluperfect, undefined past perfect, future perfect and conditional perfect. '''Types of verbs according to their lexeme:''' There are three classes: * Strong verbs, whose lexeme is obtained directly from the infinitive by removing the ending '''-re'''. The infinitive of these verbs is a [[paroxitone]] word, this is, the stressed syllable is the last but one. Example: '''chantre''' '''/"tSantre/''' (to sing), whose lexeme is '''chant-'''. These verbs do not have 1st person ending in present tense: '''jo chant''' (I sing). * Weak verbs, for which there is an intermediate '''-&#259;-''' (pronounced '''/@/'''), between the lexeme and the ending '''-re'''.

Babyish languages can basically be classified into two branches: * Babyish - characterised by its 5 vowels system (&auml; and &ouml; are considered part of a and o) * Sheepness - besides a, e, i, o and u, they considered schwa as the 6th vowel and coded separatedly, while Babyish will distribute them among the 5 vowels as short vowels. For each of the branch, there are further sub-branches, differed by the suffices and articles used in sentences. Babyish has its own characters, being some geometric shapes, but was not used beyond illustration. It is transcripted in two ways: * [[Diacritic|accented]] [[Alphabet|Latin characters]] * plain [[ASCII]] text Since Babyish is a pidgin of Cantonese, some words are [[Tonal language|tonal]] and require indication of tones. Tonal marks from [[pinyin]] is borrowed for tone indication, with an additional mark of "dot below" in indicate "yang" tones. == Characters used in Babyish == Babyish used these characters: ===Vowels=== <table border=1> <tr><th>Vowels<th>IPA<th>transliteration<th>Special note <tr><td>A<td>{{IPA|a}}<td>a<td>à = {{IPA|/&#592;/}} in IPA <tr><td>Ä<td>{{IPA|æ}}<td>ae <tr><td>E<td>{{IPA|&#603;}}<td>e<td>è = {{IPA|/&#601;/}} in IPA <tr><td>I<td>{{IPA|i}}<td>i<td>ì = {{IPA|/&#616;/}} in IPA <tr><td>O<td>{{IPA|&#596;}}<td>o<td>ò = {{IPA|/o/}} in IPA <tr><td>Ö<td>{{IPA|œ}}<td>oe <tr><td>U<td>{{IPA|u}}<td>u<td>ù = {{IPA|/&#652;/}} in IPA <tr><td>Ü<td>y<td>ue </table> Babyish does not have [[diphthong]]s, so when one encounters two vowels being placed together, they are pronounced separately. ===Consonants=== <TABLE BORDER=1> <TR><TH>Consonants<TH>IPA<TH>transliteration<TH>Special note <TR><td align=center>B<td align=center>{{IPA|p}}<td align=center>b<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>P<td align=center>{{IPA|p'}}<td align=center>p<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>M<td align=center>{{IPA|m}}<td align=center>m<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>F<td align=center>{{IPA|f}}<td align=center>f<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>D<td align=center>{{IPA|t}}<td align=center>d<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>T<td align=center>{{IPA|t'}}<td align=center>t<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>N<td align=center>{{IPA|n}}<td align=center>n<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>L<td align=center>{{IPA|l}}<td align=center>l<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>G<td align=center>{{IPA|k}}<td align=center>g<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>K<td align=center>{{IPA|k'}}<td align=center>k<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>&#330;<td align=center>{{IPA|&#331;}}<td align=center>ng<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>&#292;<td align=center>{{IPA|x}}<td align=center>kh<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>J<td align=center>{{IPA|&#676;}}<td align=center>j<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>&#268;<td align=center>{{IPA|t&#643;}}<td align=center>ch<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>R<td align=center>{{IPA|r}}<td align=center>r<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>H<td align=center>{{IPA|h}}<td align=center>h<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>&#7824;<td align=center>{{IPA|t&#642;}}<td align=center>zh<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>&#264;<td align=center>{{IPA|t&#642;'}}<td align=center>cz<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>&#348;<td align=center>{{IPA|&#642;;}}<td align=center>sz<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>&#530;<td align=center>{{IPA|&#645;}}<td align=center>rh<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>Z<td align=center>{{IPA|ts}}<td align=center>z<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>C<td align=center>{{IPA|ts'}}<td align=center>c<td align=center> <TR><td align=center>S<td align=center>{{IPA|s}}<td align=center>s<td align=center>Sometimes &Ccedil; is used to represent "S" sound <TR><td align=center>Y<td align=center>{{IPA|j}}<td align=center>y<td align=center> </TABLE> <u>Note</u>: * {{IPA|/&#680;/}}, {{IPA|/&#680;'/}}, {{IPA|/&#597;/}} can be written as either "JI", "QI", "XI" or "ZI", "CI" or "SI".

As such, they are a class of "typical" consonants. It contrasts with '''[[guttural]]''' (comprising the [[radical]] and [[glottal]] POAs). [[Nasal]] [[stop]]s such as [m] can only be pronounced at buccal POAs. [[Phonation]] contrasts, while some are possible even for guttural consonants, are also typically limited to buccal consonants. '''Debuccalization''' refers to the change from a buccal consonant to a glottal. There is room for variation (eg. *ɟʱ, *gʱ → [ɦ] in [[Sanskrit]]), but typically stops will end up as [ʔ], fricatives as [h]. The opposite change is '''buccalization'''; typically the result will be a velar (eg. *ʔ → k, *h → x). (The term '''glottalization''' is usually only applied to changes resulting in [ʔ] or glottal''ized'' consonants.)

Differently from most Slavic languages, but similar to Bulgarian and Macedonian languages, it lost all the original cases, and developed a definite and an indefinite article (but set before its substantive). Differently from Bulgarian and Macedonian it has a semplified verbal system. It is written with the '''''Latin Alphabet''''', but can be adapted to the '''Cyrillic''' one. ==Phonology== ===Vowels=== Slevian has a reduced vocalic system, with only six vowels: {|

in contrast with other Slavic languages. ===Substantives=== Substantives have three ''genres'' (''masculine'', ''feminine'' and ''neuter'') and two ''numbers'' (''singular'' and '''plural'') ====Number==== Substantives form their plural by modifying their endings oder by adding a new one: * If they end with ''normal consonants'', they add '''''-y''''' * If they end with '''-š, -ž, -č, -s, -z, -l, -j''' (called ''soft consonants''): they add '''''-i''''' * If they end with '''-a''', '''-e''', '''-u''': they drop these vowels and add '''''-y''''' * If '''-a''', '''-e''', '''-u''', are preceded by a ''soft consonant'', they add '''''-i''''' instead of '''-y'''. * If they end with '''-o''': they drop it and add '''''-a''''' * If they end with '''-ja''', '''-je''': they drop them and add '''''-ji''''' ====Gender==== Slevian substantives can be '''''masculine''''', '''''feminine''''' or '''''neuter'''''. * If the substantive ends with a '''consonant''', it is '''masculine''' * If it ends with '''-a''', it is '''feminine''' * If it ends with '''-o''', it is '''neuter''' * If it ends with '''-e''', it can be '''feminine''' or '''neuter''': :* ''Normal consonant'' + ''-e'', it is '''neuter''' :* ''Soft consonant'' + ''-e'', it is '''feminine''' The plural substantives '''have no genre'''. ===Articles=== Slevian developed a system of articles, differently from the other Slavic languages, and similar to Bulgarian and Macedonian, but it places its articles ''before'' the substantives, as in English and contrary to the two Slavic languages: ====Indefinite Articles==== {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|||Articles |- |Masculine||Jedin |- |Feminine||Jedna |- |Neuter||Jedno |- |Plural||Jedny |} The plural form is used as the English adjectives '''some''', '''any'''. ====Definite Articles==== {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|||Articles |- |Masculine||Ton |- |Feminine||Ta |- |Neuter||To |- |Plural||Ti |} Slevian has not an independent form for '''this''' and '''that''': they are built by adding an adverbial particle to the articles: * '''''To-''''' + Articles = ''this'' * '''''Tam-''''' + Articles = ''that'' ''Examples'': * Mjesto = ''city'', neuter : Jedno mjesto = ''a city'' : To mjesto = ''the city'' : Toto mjesto = ''this city'' : Tamto mjesto = ''that city ===Adjectives=== Adjectives do agree with their substantives in '''genre''' and '''number'''. They are placed ''before'' their substantives as in English. The base form is masculine which generally ends with '''''-y''''' or '''''-i''''', but some adjectives (most of all ''passive participles'') can end with another consonant. To agree, they modify their endings: * If the root ends with ''normal consonants'', the masculine form is '''''-y''''' * If the root ends with ''soft consonants'', the masculine form is '''''-i''''' * To form the feminine, just drop the masculine ending and add '''''-a''''' * To form the neuter, just drop the masculine ending and add '''''-o''''' * To form the plural, just drop the masculine ending and add '''''-e''''' ''Examples'': * Ton krasny mir = ''the beautiful world'', masculine * Ta krasna noče = ''the beautiful night'', feminine * To krasno mjesto = ''the beautiful city'', neuter * Ti krasne mjesta = ''the beautiful cities'', plural (no genre recognized) ====Comparative==== To form the comparative degree, drop the masculine ending and add: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|||Ending |- |Masculine||'''-eji''' |- |Feminine||'''-eja''' |- |Neuter||'''-ejo''' |- |Plural||'''-eje''' |} The comparison is made by the particle '''čim'''. ''Example'': * Mojo mjesto je krasnejo čim tvojo: ''My city is more beautiful than yours'' ====Superlative==== To form the superlative, place before the declined adjective the particle '''''samej''''' ''Example'': * Tota je ta samej interesna kniga mežo toti ktere počital jeso: ''This is the most interesting book among the ones I read'' ===Pronouns=== ====Personal pronouns==== Slevian retains an '''accusative/object form''' for the personal pronouns, similar to the difference between the English ''I / me'': {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Person||Nominative<br>Subject||Accusative<br>Object |- |1st sing.||<center>ja</center>||<center>mine</center> |- |2nd sing.||<center>ty</center>||<center>tibe</center> |- |3rd. masc.||<center>on</center>||<center>jego</center> |- |3rd fem.||<center>ona</center>||<center>jeji</center> |- |3rd neu.||<center>to</center>||<center>to</center> |- |1st plu.||<center>my</center>||<center>nas</center> |- |2nd plu.||<center>vy</center>||<center>vas</center> |- |3rd fem.||<center>oni</center>||<center>ich</center> |} As the verbs already show their person with conjugation, the nominative/subject personal pronouns are not very used. ====Possessive pronoun/adjectives==== Slevian uses the same forms for possessive adjectives and pronouns (contrary to English ''my / mine''). They agree with their substantives according to genre and number as adjectives. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Person||Masculine||Feminine||Neuter||Plural |- |1st sing.||<center>moj</center>||<center>moja</center>||<center>mojo</center>||<center>moje</center> |- |2nd sing.||<center>tvoj</center>||<center>tvoja</center>||<center>tvojo</center>||<center>tvoje</center> |- |3rd. masc.||colspan="4"|<center>jevo</center> |- |3rd fem.||colspan="4"|<center>jejo</center> |- |3rd neu.||colspan="4"|<center>togo</center> |- |1st plu.||<center>naš</center>||<center>naša</center>||<center>našo</center>||<center>naše</center> |- |2nd plu.||<center>vaš</center>||<center>vaša</center>||<center>vašo</center>||<center>vaše</center> |- |3rd fem.||colspan="4"|<center>jejich</center> |} If the '''''subject''''' coincides with the '''''owner''''', for the 3rd persons you have to use '''svoj''': {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Person||Masculine||Feminine||Neuter||Plural |- |refl.||<center>svoj</center>||<center>svoja</center>||<center>svojo</center>||<center>svoje</center> |} ''Examples'': * On jede se svoja mašina: ''He goes with his own car'' * On jede s jevo mašina: ''He goes with his (of another man) car'' You can use '''svoj''' also with the other person: * Ja jedu se svoja mašina: ''I go with my own car'' * Ja jedu s moja mašina: ''I go with my own car'' Both sentences are correct. ====Interrogative pronouns==== * '''Čto''': ''what?'' For the pronoun ''who'' there are a subject/nominative form and a separated object/accusative form: * '''Kto''': ''who?'' (subject/nominative) * '''Kogo''': ''who(m)'' (object/accusative, it is used with prepositions) {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Gender||Which? |- |Masculine||<center>kaky</center> |- |Feminine||<center>kaka</center> |- |Neuter||<center>kako</center> |- |Plural||<center>kake</center> |} The word for ''Where'' has two forms, according if there is a static situation or a motion: * '''Gde''': ''where?''

Main prepositions are: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Preposition||English counterpart |- |<center>u</center>||<center>''of'', genitive</center> |- |<center>e</center>||<center>''to'', dative</center> |- |<center>s</center>||<center>''with'' strumental</center> |- |<center>v</center>||<center>''in'', state/motion</center> |- |<center>na</center>||<center>''on'' state/motion</center> |- |<center>od</center>||<center>''from''</center> |- |<center>k</center>||<center>''towards'', motions to someone</center> |- |<center>prid</center>||<center>''by'', with passive voice</center> |- |<center>pre</center>||<center>''in front of''</center> |- |<center>dla</center>||<center>''for'', benefactive</center> |- |<center>nad</center>||<center>''over'', without contact</center> |- |<center>pod</center>||<center>''under''</center> |- |<center>mežo</center>||<center>''between'', ''among''</center> |- |<center>po</center>||<center>it has many functions</center> |} Two prepositions can change when used: *'''s''': an ''-e'' is added before a word beginning with ''s-'' or ''z-'' *'''v''': an ''-e'' is added before a word beginning with ''v-'' or ''f-'' ===Numbers=== ====Cardinal==== The first 10 numbers are irregular: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Number||Name of the number |- |<center>1</center>||<center>Jedin</center> |- |<center>2</center>||<center>Dva</center> |- |<center>3</center>||<center>Tri</center> |- |<center>4</center>||<center>Četyri</center> |- |<center>5</center>||<center>Pjat</center> |- |<center>6</center>||<center>Šest</center> |- |<center>7</center>||<center>Sem</center> |- |<center>8</center>||<center>Osem</center> |- |<center>9</center>||<center>Devet</center> |- |<center>10</center>||<center>Deset</center> |} Numbers from 11 to 19 are constructed regularly ''unit''+'''''na'''''+''deset'', except for 11: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Number||Name of the number |- |<center>11</center>||<center>'''Oden'''nadeset</center> |- |<center>12</center>||<center>Dvanadeset</center> |- |<center>13</center>||<center>Trinadeset</center> |- |<center>14</center>||<center>Četyrinadeset</center> |- |<center>15</center>||<center>Pjatnadeset</center> |- |<center>...</center>||<center>...</center> |} Numbers 20, 30, 40, etc are costructed regularly, more than 100 are irregular: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Number||Name of the number |- |<center>20</center>||<center>Dvadeset</center> |- |<center>30</center>||<center>Trideset</center> |- |<center>40</center>||<center>Četyrideset</center> |- |<center>50</center>||<center>Pjatdeset</center> |- |<center>60</center>||<center>Šestdeset</center> |- |<center>70</center>||<center>Semdeset</center> |- |<center>80</center>||<center>Osemdeset</center> |- |<center>90</center>||<center>Devetdeset</center> |- |<center>100</center>||<center>Sto</center> |- |<center>1.000</center>||<center>Tisiče</center> |- |<center>1.000.000</center>||<center>Miljon</center> |- |<center>1.000.000.0000</center>||<center>Miljard</center> |} Until ''Sto'', cardinal numbers behave like invariable adjectives, i.e they do not change. ''Sto'', ''Tisiče'', ''Miljon'' and ''Miljard'' behave like nouns and they have a plural form. Composed numbers are formed with the linker ''i'', and, between the penultimate and the last name of the number: * 32: ''Trideset i dva'' * 345: ''Tri sta četyrideset i pjat'' * 2007: ''Dva tisiči i sem'' * 1.976.845.203: ''Jedin miljard devet sta semdeset šest miljony osem sta četyrideset pjat tisiči dva sta i tri'' ====Ordinal==== Ordinal numbers are mostly regularly formed, except for some forms. Usually they form from the cardinal form + the adjectival endings. ''1st'', ''2nd'', ''3rd'', ''4th'' and ''8th'' are irregular, and the numbers which behave like nouns are irregularly formed: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Number||Name of the number |- |<center>1st</center>||<center>'''Pervy, perva, pervo, perve'''</center> |- |<center>2nd</center>||<center>'''Duvy'''</center> |- |<center>3rd</center>||<center>'''Trety'''</center> |- |<center>4th</center>||<center>'''Četyrny'''</center> |- |<center>5th</center>||<center>Pjaty</center> |- |<center>6th</center>||<center>Šesty</center> |- |<center>7th</center>||<center>Semy</center> |- |<center>8th</center>||<center>'''Osmy'''</center> |- |<center>9th</center>||<center>Devety</center> |- |<center>10th</center>||<center>Desety</center> |- |<center>11th</center>||<center>Odennadesety</center> |- |<center>20th</center>||<center>Dvadesety</center> |- |<center>100th</center>||<center>'''Stoty'''</center> |- |<center>1.000th</center>||<center>'''Tisičny'''</center> |- |<center>1.000.000th</center>||<center>'''Miljonty'''</center> |- |<center>1.000.000.000th</center>||<center>'''Miljardny'''</center> |} In composed numbers only the last noun of the numbers take the ordinal form: * 32nd: ''Trideset i '''duvy, -a, -o, -e''''' * 345th: ''Tri sta četyrideset i '''pjaty''''' * 2008th: ''Dva tisiči i '''osmy''''' * 1.976.845.203rd: ''Jedin miljard devet sta semdeset šest miljony osem sta četyrideset pjat tisiči dva sta i '''trety''''' ===Verbs=== Slevian verbs do conjugate according to ''tense, aspect, person, number'' and in the past tense with ''genre'' of the subject. ====Aspect==== The '''''Aspect''''' reflects the completeness/incompleteness of the action the verb expresses. * The '''''Imperfective''' aspect'' denotes an action which has not come to an end, or an action which happens/happened/will happen many times * The '''''Perfective''' aspect'' denotes an action which has completely come to an end, an action which is complete, or an action which happened/will happen only once A verb can be ''perfective'' or ''imperfective'', never both ones. Typically the verb has a counter-part and both they appear in pair, the '''Aspectual pair''', two verbs with different aspect, but the same meaning. The aspectual pair usually appears as "''imperfective verb-perfective verb'' * ''čitat-počitat'': to read * ''pisat-napisat'': to write Examples: * Ja jeso čital tamta kniga: ''I was reading that book'' (and in that moment I did not finish it) * Ja jeso počital tamta kniga: ''I read that book'' (and I finished it) * Ja budu pisat jedno pismo: ''I will be writing a letter'' (and I don't know if I'll finish it) * Ja napišu jedno pismo: ''I'll write a letter'' (and I will surely finish it) Perfective verbs are usually derived from its imperfective companions by mean of prefixes. Regular verbs add '''''po-''''' to form their perfective counter-parts, irregular verbs use irregular prefixes. Since a present action cannot be completed, perfective verbs '''do not have a present tense''' in conjugation. Their present form is used as ''future''. ====Tense==== Slevian verbs have only three tenses: ''past'', ''present'' and ''future''. * '''Present tense''' is a simple form, which is conjugated according to number and person with its subject. Only imperfective verbs have a present tense form since present actions cannot be perfective. : Ja pišu, ''I write'' * '''Future tense''' is a composed form for imperfective verbs and a simple form for perfective verbs. The perfective form has the same features as imperfective present forms and it's conjugated according to number and person. The future imperfective form is a compound; it's formed with the future form of the verb '''byt''', to be, and the infinitive form of the imperfective verb. : Ja napišu, ''I will write'' : Ja budu pisat, ''I will be writing'' * '''Past tense''' is always a composed form for both imperfective verbs and perfective ones. It's formed with the present forms of the verb '''byt''', to be, and the ''past participle'' of the verb, declined according to genre and number of its subject. : Ja jeso pisal, ''I was writing'' : Ona je pisala, ''She was writing'' : My jesom napisaly, ''We wrote'' ====Participles==== Slevian has two kinds of participles, '''past participle''' and '''passive participle''': * The '''Past participle''' is formed by dropping '''-t''' from the infinitive form and adding '''''-l'''''. It's used only in the construction of the past tense. It is declined according to the genre: : On je napisal, ''He wrote'' : Ona je napisala, ''She wrote'' : Ono je napisalo, ''It wrote'' : Ony jeson napisaly, ''They wrote'' * The '''Passive participle''' is used in construction of the ''passive voice'' and as an adjective with substantive. It has many rules for its own construction. : Tamta kniga je byla počitana prid jego, ''That book was read by him'' ====Voice==== Slevian has a passive voice, but it does not use it very much. Its constructions is: conjugated verb '''byt''' + declinated ''passive particle''. It can be imperfective or perfective and it follows the rules for aspect and tenses, even if '''byt''' is conjugated according with tense and passive participle take perfective prefixes. : Tamta kniga je čitana prid to deto, ''That book is read by the child'' : Tamta kniga je byla počitana prid ta žena, ''That book was read by the woman'' : Tamta kniga budu byt počitana prid ton muž, ''That book will be read by the man'' ====Byt==== The verb '''byt''', ''to be'', has an irregular conjugation: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Person||Present||Past||Future |- |<center>Ja</center>||<center>Jeso</center> ||<center>Byl,-a,-o jeson</center>||<center>Budu</center> |- |<center>Ty</center>||<center>Ješ</center> ||<center>Byl,-a,-o ješ</center>||<center>Budeš</center> |- |<center>On</center>||<center>Je</center> ||<center>Byl,-a,-o je</center>||<center>Bude</center> |- |<center>My</center>||<center>Jesom</center> ||<center>Byly jesom</center>||<center>Budeme</center> |- |<center>Vy</center>||<center>Jeste</center> ||<center>Byly jeste</center>||<center>Budete</center> |- |<center>Oni</center>||<center>Jeson</center> ||<center>Byly jeson</center>||<center>Budut</center> |} ====Mit==== The verb '''Mit''', ''to have'', has an irregular conjugation: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Person||Present||Past||Future |- |<center>Ja</center>||<center>Mam</center> ||<center>Mel,-a,-o jeson</center>||<center>Budu mit</center> |- |<center>Ty</center>||<center>Maš</center> ||<center>Mel,-a,-o ješ</center>||<center>Budeš mit</center> |- |<center>On</center>||<center>Ma</center> ||<center>Mel,-a,-o je</center>||<center>Bude mit</center> |- |<center>My</center>||<center>Mame</center> ||<center>Mely jesom</center>||<center>Budeme mit</center> |- |<center>Vy</center>||<center>Mate</center> ||<center>Mely jeste</center>||<center>Budete mit</center> |- |<center>Oni</center>||<center>Majot</center> ||<center>Mely jeson</center>||<center>Budut mit</center> |} ====Conjugation==== Slevian verbs are conjugated according to the ending of their infinitive forms.

To conjugate these verbs, drop the infinitival ending and add the following endings: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Persons and moods||Endings |- |<center>Ja</center>||<center>-ajo</center> |- |<center>Ty</center>||<center>-aš</center> |- |<center>On</center>||<center>-a</center> |- |<center>My</center>||<center>-am</center> |- |<center>Vy</center>||<center>-ate</center> |- |<center>Oni</center>||<center>-ajot</center> |- |<center>Past participle</center>||<center>-al (-a, -o, -y)</center> |- |<center>Passive participle</center>||<center>-an (-a, -o, -y)</center> |} =====2nd conjugation===== The second conjugation include all verbs which end with '''''-et''''' and '''''-it''''' in their infinitive form; even if infinitival endings are different, the conjugation features are the same. To conjugate these verbs, drop the infinitival ending and add the following endings: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Persons and moods||Endings |- |<center>Ja</center>||<center>-ijo</center> |- |<center>Ty</center>||<center>-iš</center> |- |<center>On</center>||<center>-i</center> |- |<center>My</center>||<center>-im</center> |- |<center>Vy</center>||<center>-ite</center> |- |<center>Oni</center>||<center>-ijot</center> |- |<center>Past participle</center>||<center>-il/el (-a, -o, -y)</center> |- |<center>Passive participle</center>||<center>-en (-a, -o, -y)</center> |} =====3st conjugation===== The third conjugation include all verbs which end with '''''-ovat''''' in their infinitive form. To conjugate these verbs, drop the whole infinitival ending and add the following endings: {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" !|Persons and moods||Endings |- |<center>Ja</center>||<center>-ujo</center> |- |<center>Ty</center>||<center>-uješ</center> |- |<center>On</center>||<center>-uje</center> |- |<center>My</center>||<center>-ujem</center> |- |<center>Vy</center>||<center>-ujete</center> |- |<center>Oni</center>||<center>-ujot</center> |- |<center>Past participle</center>||<center>-oval (-a, -o, -y)</center> |- |<center>Passive participle</center>||<center>-ovan (-a, -o, -y)</center> |} =====4th conjugation===== The fourth conjugation include all irregular verbs.

In front of these consonant it appears written only as '''n''' (instead of English written form ''m''): : sinfonije, ''symphony'' * <sup>[2]</sup> The phoneme {{IPA|[ŋ]}} is not an independent one, as in English, but is a nasal velar allophone, as it appears only before the velar stops {{IPA|[k]}} and {{IPA|[g]}}. * <sup>[3]</sup> The phoneme {{IPA|[r]}} is shown as having no English counterparts, because it is an alveolar trill, or most commonly said, a '''rolling''' or '''rolled r''', the same ''r'' of the Italian language. On the contrary with English alveolar tap {{IPA|[ɾ]}}, the tongue has to vibrate more times while pronouncing it. * <sup>[4]</sup> The phoneme {{IPA|[x]}} has no English counterpart. Its pronounce is that of Scottish ''lo'''ch''''', or German /ch/ in ''ma'''ch'''en''. ===Vowel sonorants=== The lateral consonants '''r''' {{IPA|[r]}} and '''l''' {{IPA|[l]}} and the nasal consonants '''n''' {{IPA|[n]}} and '''m''' {{IPA|[m]}} can play the role as vowel centre of the syllable, as a real vowel. This is a rare phenomenon, and they are usually found at the end of one of these words. In this case they are called ''vowel sonorants'' (they play this role also in English in some words): * Petr {{IPA|[ˈpetṛ]}}: syllabication ''pe.tr'' * turistezn {{IPA|[ˈturistezṇ]}}: syllabication ''tu.ri.ste.zn'' They are pronounced as with a schwa vowel preceding them, a close, weak vowel phoneme. This is an approximate pronounce description, as there is no actual vowel between the two consonant, as Lantian language does not own any schwa vowel: * Petr {{IPA|[ˈpet<small>ɘ</small>ṛ]}} When a vowel is added to a word, ending in a vowel sonorants, this one turns into a full consonant, losing his role as vowel centre. * ''Nominative'': Petr {{IPA|[ˈpetṛ]}}: syllabication ''pe.tr'' ‣ ''Genitive'': Petru {{IPA|[ˈpetru]}}: syllabication ''pe.tru'' ===Palatalization=== Some consonants come in pair with a ''palatalized'' counterpart: {| ! Non-palatalized consonant !

It's very important, because it occurs many times in noun declension. ==Vowels== Vowels can be short or long. The difference is very important because it is distinctive: two words can have different meanings with different vowel length: * ban {{IPA|[ban]}} (''real'') - bán {{IPA|[baːn]}} (''all'') {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: left; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| <small>High</small> || || || {{IPA|i(ː)}} || || {{IPA|ɨ(ː)}}|| || || || || {{IPA|u(ː)}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| <small>High-Mid</small> || || || {{IPA|e(ː)}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|o(ː)}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| <small>Low</small> || || || || || {{IPA|a(ː)}} || || || || |} {{seealso|Lánc vowel scheme}} Long vowels are marked by an acute accent, as in Czech language: * a {{IPA|[a]}} - á {{IPA|[aː]}} * e {{IPA|[e]}} - é {{IPA|[eː]}} * i {{IPA|[i]}} - í {{IPA|[iː]}} * o {{IPA|[o]}} - ó {{IPA|[oː]}} * u {{IPA|[u]}} - ú {{IPA|[uː]}} * y {{IPA|[ɨ]}} - ý {{IPA|[ɨː]}} ==Diphtongs== All kinds of diphtongs are accetable in Lantian, with semivowel before or after the vowel (Vj or jV - Vw or wV) and with both long and short vowel. Some examples: * bwand {{IPA|[bwand]}}: ''federal'' * bwón {{IPA|[bwoːn]}}: ''intelligent'' * krujzuč {{IPA|[krujzuʧ]}}: ''to break'' Diphtongs with the [j] semivowel before the vowel are rarer than the other ones, because this semivowel has usually palatalized the consonant before itself. Only some native Lantian words keep it, one of the most important exemples is the nominal ending '''-tjám'''. * skjator {{IPA|[skjator]}}: ''to live'' * ravídotjám {{IPA|[raviːdotjaːm]}}: ''claim, demand'' If two vowels (except {{IPA|[i]}} and {{IPA|[u]}}, which can turn in semivowel) come together in a word, expecially in declension endings, they are considered as separated syllables: * móryo {{IPA|[moːrɨo]}}, syllabication: ''mo.ry.o'' (''languages'', accusative) ==Stress== Stress has a very little meaning, and it falls always on the first syllabe of the root. If a word is simple the stress is on the first syllable, but if this word adds prefixes, the stress remains on the same syllable. * m'''ý'''zdosén {{IPA|[ˈmɨːzdoseːn]}}, ''comprehension'' * m'''ý'''zdor {{IPA|[ˈmɨːzdor]}}, ''understand'' * tem'''ý'''zdesek {{IPA|[teˈmɨːzdesek]}}, ''they will understand'' * otem'''ý'''zdesu {{IPA|[oteˈmɨːzdesu]}}, ''I would have understood'' Thus the stress is not distinctive, as in many languages of the world, i.e. there can't be two words that change their meanings depending on their stress. If there is a compound word, for example a verb, the stress can remain on the first syllable of the original root, or can move on the new first syllable: * g'''e'''nsor {{IPA|[ˈgensor]}}, ''to take'' * šag'''e'''nsor {{IPA|[ʃaˈgensor]}} or š'''a'''gensor {{IPA|[ˈʃagensor]}}, ''to involve'', both are accetable. With words with foreign origin, the stress usually moves on the first syllable, but it can remain on the original syllable. * '''i'''nformákce {{IPA|[ˈinformaːkʦe]}} or inform'''á'''kce {{IPA|[inforˈmaːkʦe]}}, ''information'' [[Category:Lánc|P]] Proto-Uralic/I 7059 58890 2011-01-14T12:33:14Z Tropylium 756 {| |- style="background:#FFA0A0" !

It is related to [[Sirénso]] and [[Sirabe]]. ==Phonology ''Qéwạ̄''== Syllable structure is C+(j)+V+(tone)+(shortening)+(ŋ). In the case of words like propositions, name/question indicators, and pronouns, the consonant (C) is not needed In some dialects, V+(shortening) is pronounced like V+l. Words can have one or two syllables and about one hundred borrowed words (mostly scientific or technical) have three syllables. The first (or only) syllable in a word is stressed. ==Writing ''Zóŋ''== {{main|Zóŋ Fjě}} [[Image:Nin Lo.png|right|thumb|Nǐŋ Lō written with Zóŋ Fjě ideograms]] The language is written with ideograms called [[Zóŋ Fjě]]. Each ideogram is one syllable (see ''phonetics'' above). However, in Lōxé Xá Zẹ̀ŋ Qâ is often written with an alphabet called [[Zēnjàŋ]] ===Romanized writing ''Rómǎŋsē zóŋ''=== Vowels:<br> E=/ɛ/<br> A = /ɑ/<br> I = /i/<br> O = /o/<br> U = /u/<br> Tones:<br> ó = ˥ (high tone)<br> ô = ˩˥ (rising tone)<br> ō = ˧ (mid tone)<br> ǒ = ˥˩ (falling tone)<br> ò = ˥ (low tone)<br> ọ = ˘ (shortened vowel (combine with tone marking))<br> Consonants:<br> B = /b/<br> G = /g/<br> D = /d/<br> F = /f/<br> H = /ɦ/<br> J = /j/<br> K = /k/<br> L = /l/<br> M = /m/<br> N = /n/<br> P = /p/<br> Q = /t͡ʃ/<br> R = /r/<br> S = /s/<br> T = /t/<br> V = /v/<br> W = /w/<br> X = /ʃ/<br> Z = /ʑ/<br> :Palatalizer:<br> :J = /j/<br> :Final Ŋ:<br> :Ŋ = /ŋ/<br> ==Grammar ''Sólē''== ===Nouns ''Djô''=== Nouns have no case, gender, number, or definiteness. ==="To Be"=== There is no verb "to be" in Xá Zẹ̀ŋ Qâ, other than Jéfō, meaning "to exist". ===Pronouns ''Qō''=== Pronouns are only one vowel with a high tone:<br> Á = I, me<br> Ú = You<br> Ó = We, us<br> Í = He, she, it, them<br> <br> Possessive pronouns go after the noun being possessed. They are created by adding an L before the vowel and lowering the tone to a mid tone. Therefore Nǐŋ Lō means "holy-land ours", or "our hallowed land".<br> Lā = My, mine<br> Lū = Your, yours<br> Lō = Our, ours<br> Lī = Their, theirs<br> <br> ===Verbs ''Fō''=== Verbs only change for tense, by changing their ending: {| style="background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !

It is the home of the [[Japanese Union]]. The [[Japonic languages (IE)|Japonic languages]] are spoken here. == Geography == Japan consists of five major islands, plus several thousand smaller islands. == History == ''This section is a work in progress, and subject to changes'' === Early Japan === The ancestors of the modern Japanese arrived somewhere around 800 BC, probably from modern-day Korea. The early Japanese were divided into many small statelets. By the early 6th century AD, the Japanese had coalesced into five kingdoms, whose rulers took the title of Great King (大王) to distinguish themselves from the smaller states that had preceded them. The title of King (王) was also still in use by some vassals, and by princes of the royal families. Buddhism arrived in 538, and gradually spread through the kingdoms. From an early stage, the High King of *Yamato had prestige over the other High Kings, and the High Kings gradually increased their power over the others. In 604, influenced by Chinese political organization, the High King of Yamato began to demand acknowledgment of his power by the lesser High Kings. In a series of reforms, he took the title of Most High King. There was resistance from some to his reforms, leading to the Unification War (605-623). The war ended with the Most High King's authority over Japan firmly established, and the second phase in his reforms began. The former kingdoms were renamed Lands (国), which were divided into provinces (州), and further subdivided into Districts (郡). The lesser High Kings retained their titles, but the succession was firmly under the control of the Most High King. === The Silla War === In 660, Baekje, on the Korean Peninsula, sought Japanese assistance against a Silla-Tang alliance. Japan sent some 40,000 troops to aid the Baekje forces. The troops were thoroughly defeated, and Baekje was conquered. The Baekje royal family fled to Japan, along with many other nobles and scholars of the former state. Japan, fearing invasion, built fortifications in *Kyushu, *Tsushima and *Iki Islands. This marked the end of Japan's activities in mainland Asia for several centuries. === Age of Centralization === Over the next few centuries, the Japanese Empire became increasingly centralized. The High Kings lost power as the Imperial Court began to gain increasing influence in their courts. By the mid-8th century, the Great King had adopted a new title, ''chanfa'', generally translated as Emperor (天皇, literally Heavenly Emperor). The northern border of the Empire was pushed further north, until at last Japan reached the northern tip of *Honshu. At the same time that the Imperial Court was gaining power over the lesser courts, and the southern regions of Japan were being brought ever more under the central government's control, military leaders in the far north began to carve out their own fiefdoms. The most powerful of these was ???? who established a capital at *Hiraizumi in 1120 to rule the northern provinces from. For nearly a century, he and his descendants ruled as <i>de facto</i> sovereigns of the northern provinces, ignoring the nominal governors. In 1245, the imperial court attempted to remove ???? from his position, starting the Enchu War, which ended, in 1257, with an agreement that recognized ???? as a High King, defining the borders of a new land, [[Enchukok]]. === Mongol Invasions and Disintegration === In 1274, the Mongols launched an invasion of Japan, which was turned back, in large part due to a fortuitous storm. A second attempt was made in 1281, also unsuccessful. Fearing another invasion, the Imperial Court ordered the creation of large standing armies. There were no further invasions. However, the presence of large standing armies proved to be destabilizing for the Empire. In 1307, Emperor ???? proclaimed an Imperial Restoration, seeking to restore direct power to the Emperor out of the hands of the noble families who had long held actual political power. The Emperor was deposed, and fled to the west with his supporters. The military elite in the Capital placed another member of the Imperial Family on the throne. A civil war broke out. It was won by the western claimant. Power was restored to the Emperor, but at a cost. His supporters extorted greater autonomy, while the supporters of the deposed eastern claimant were weakened. Unrest spread through the Empire as animosities between the lands, stoked by the late civil war, increased, and local military leaders carved out their own domains. This began the Era of Warring States === Era of Warring States === Generally considered to have begun around 1376, this era was characterized by constant warfare. The Emperor and High Kings retained nominal power, and some even held actual (though limited) power over areas immediately surrounding their capitals. Some of the military leaders claimed the title of King, leading to the alternate name Era of One Hundred Kings. Enchukok, which had seen the least disruption, was the first area to stablize. In 1413, the last king of the First Dynasty abdicated, turning his kingdom over to ???? who had united an area similar to the traditional Land of Enchukok, who became High King, founding the Second Dynasty. Several of his allies and loyal tributaries were granted the title of King under his authority. Enchukok began to spread both southwards and northwards, conquering *Ezo, most of their growth being northwards. The central and southern parts of Japan gradually became reunified, reorganized into several High Kingdoms. None of the old lines of High Kings survived, but the Imperial Dynasty remained, although stripped of all actual power. The Era of Warring States is considered to have officially ended in 1462, when Emperor ??? issued a decree officially reorganizing the Empire and acknowledging the new Kings and High Kings. Fighting had already ended over most of Japan by this point, and some small-scale fighting continued for a couple of decades. Japan was now divided into seven High Kingdoms, each of which were divided into several Kingdoms and Provinces (depending on the title of the ruler) and further into Districts. The High Kings were, nominally, under the authority of the Emperor, but in practice, the Emperor's authority did not extend past the Imperial Palace. The Emperor also, nominally, controlled the succession of the High Kings, but this, too, was a power not exerted in practice. <!-- High Kingdoms: Enchukok, *Kanto, *Chubu, *Kansai, *Chugoku, *Shikoku, *Kyushu --> === The Age of Expansion === Enchukok had already begun to expand northwards into *Ezo by the early 15th century, and began exploring Siberia by 1450. In 1467, the Enchukokans discovered Alaska. The southern High Kingdoms expanded southwards, annexing the then-independent *Ryukyu Islands in 1439, expanding into *Taiwan, and moving onto *Indonesia by the early 16th century. Korea was invaded by an alliance of *Chugoku, *Kyushu, and *Chubu in 1489, beginning the First Chosen War. By 1498, Korea had been conquered and divided between the invading powers. The discovery of Alaska sparked a series of colonial expeditions across the Pacific. Several of the High Kingdoms also continued to push southwards, discovering *Australia in 1508. In 1546, a rebellion began in occupied Korea, with help from Ming China. The Chinese-Korean alliance fought the occupying states and their allies in the Second Chosen War (1546-1552). The war ended with the Japanese expelled from the Korean mainland, and a new Kingdom under Chinese suzerainty established. Other mainland colonies were liberated as well, beginning a tacit agreement between the Japanese and the Chinese that the mainland belonged to China, the islands to Japan (although this agreement did not prevent the Japanese from establishing a presence in India) [[Category:Indo-European Japan]] Template:Kala index 7067 58225 2010-12-02T19:13:49Z Qang 1187 #[[Kala|Kala grammar]] #[[Kala lexicon]] #[[Kala phrases]] #[[Kala thematic lexicon]] #[[Kala lists]] #[[Kala writing]] *[[:Category:Moya|Moya Gallery]] Zēnjàŋ 7068 50696 2009-11-22T22:38:35Z Pazmivaniye 1333 Created page with ''''''Zēnjàn'''{{IPA|/ʑɛː˧.nʲɑː˩ŋ/}}'' is the alphabet used in [[Lōxé]] to write the language of [[Xá Zẹ̀ŋ Qâ]].

A Athonite Language 7073 54741 2010-06-29T20:03:00Z Caeruleancentaur 11 *Athonite [http://wiki.frath.net/MR_Language] is the official language of the Serene Monastic Republic of the Holy Mountain. It is spoken daily by the citizens; all street signs, traffic signs, the weekly newspaper, etc., are written in Athonite. *Modern Greek is taught to the children in school so that, by the time they graduate from the gymnasio or liceo, they are fluent in it as well. *The language began when Greek refugees came to the Monastic Republic from Turkey. They spoke only Turkish, and Athonite was developed as these Greeks started to learn Modern Greek. As a result, there is some Turkish influence in grammar and vocabulary. *A spelling reform has standardized the orthography so that it is more consistent with the pronunciation. Double letters have been eliminated. An acute accent is placed over the accented vowel. Monosyllabic words contain no accent, unless followed by an enclitic. *Under the influence of Turkish, there is neither a definite nor an indefinite article. *There are no classes of nouns. *There are three cases for the nouns in Athonite, nominative, genitive and accusative. Adjectives in Athonite are indeclinable and precede the noun they modify. *Under the influence of Turkish, adjectives form the comparative degree only by placing the adverb <font color=blue>πιο</font> before them and not by adding a suffix. They are then followed by <font color=blue>από</font> and the accusative case. Because Greek lacks a superlative degree distinct from the comparative, under the influence of Turkish, adjectives form the superlative degree by placing the adverb <font color=blue>εν</font> before them, followed by <font color=blue>ςε</font> and the genitive case. *As in Turkish, there is only one relative pronoun in Athonite, <font color=blue>που</font>, which stands for all the relative pronouns: who, whom, which, and that. *The Athonite verb system has been simplified to the extent that the many tenses present in Classical and Demotic Greek and in Turkish have been reduced to six, the present, the past, and the future, and their perfect counterparts, in both active and passive voices. Under Turkish influence only two irregular verbs remain, ‘be’ and ‘have’. *Athonite has abandoned the conjugated verb <font color=blue>υπαρχεί/υπαρχούν</font>, there is/there are, for the Turkish <font color=blue>βαρ</font> (there is/are) and <font color=blue>γιοκ</font> (there is/are not). To illustrate, the Lord’s Prayer: *New Testament Greek **Modern Greek ***Athonite *Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς• **Πατέρα μας, στους ουρανούς, ***Πατέρ μων, ς' ουρανού, *ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου• **ας αγιαστεί το όνομά σου. ***ας αγιαςομέν ονόμ ςου ίnε. *ελθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου• **ας έρθει η βασιλεία σου. ***ας βαςιλί ςου έρχετε. *γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, **ας γίνει το θέλημά σου, ***ας θέλιμ ςου γίνι, *ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς• **όπως στον ουρανό, και στη γη. ***όπως ς' ουρανού, κε ς' γίου. *τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον• **το καθημερινό μας ψωμί δώσε μας σήμερα. ***καθιμερίν ψωμ μων ςίμερ δίνςε μων. *καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, **και συγχώρεσέ μας τις αμαρτίες μας, ***κ' αμαρτία μων ςυγχώρεςε μους, *ὡς και ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν• **όπως και εμείς συγχωρούμε αυτούς που αμαρτάνουν σε μας. ***όπως κε μίς ςυγχωρούμε αυτούς που ς' μων αμαρτάνουν. *καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, **και μη μας φέρεις σε πειρασμό, ***κε μι ς' πιράςμ φέρςε μους, *ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ. **ἁλλά ελευθέρωσέ μας από τον πονηρό, ***ἁλλά από πονιρού ελευθέρωςε μους, *Ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. ἀμήν. **επειδή δική σου είναι η βασιλεία και η δύναμη και η δόξα στους αιώνες.

Standing in the street (<font color=blue>οδ</font>, od) in front of the house, one faces the "bottom" of the L. To the right of the bottom (or the left in a backwards L) is the entrance (<font color=blue>ίςοδ</font>, ísod) and driveway into the courtyard (<font color=blue>αυλ</font>, avl) (the period in this diagram: L.). On the right as one enters is the windowless three-story wall of the neighboring house. On the left is the exterior wall of the kitchen (<font color=blue>κουζίν</font>, kouzín). In the driveway are parked any of the vehicles the family owns, bicycles, donkey carts, electric vehicles, etc. *The courtyard is an area for outdoor family activities. The householders may have a garden, a fruit tree, a stable (<font color=blue>ςταθέρ</font>, stathér) for goats or a donkey, a chicken run (<font color=blue>κοτέτς</font>, kotéts), etc. There is a gate (<font color=blue>πυλ</font>, pul) at the rear of the courtyard that opens in the back wall onto a narrow alley (<font color=blue>δρομίςκ</font>, dromísk). Across this alley is the courtyard gate of the house on the next street. *The bottom of the L is a large combined living area and kitchen. It is divided up and arranged by the housewife (<font color=blue>ικοκυρά</font>, ikokurá) according to her wishes. On the inside of the L, along the bottom, there is an entrance into the living area. The exterior wall has three windows (<font color=blue>παράθυρ</font>, paráthur) facing on the street, the center one of which is recessed and has a balcony (<font color=blue>εξώςτ</font>, exóst). There are windows in the kitchen facing on the driveway. *The ascender of the L contains three rooms, commonly used as bedrooms (<font color=blue>υπνοδωμάτ</font>, upnodomát). The "bottommost" room contains a private bathroom (<font color=blue>λουτ</font>, lout). The other two rooms share a bath that opens onto the hallway (<font color=blue>έθους</font>, éthous) that runs the length of the inside of the L. *Except for the exterior windows previously described, there are no exterior windows. The bedroom windows open onto the hallway. *The second and third stories follow the same floor plan as the first floor. If they are used for sleeping accomodations by an extended family, there would be no kitchen. If the upper floors are rented apartments (<font color=red>απαρτμάν</font>, apartmán), there would be a kitchen. *The interior of the L, facing the courtyard, has a porch (<font color=blue>βεράντ</font>, verand) along its whole length. The second and third floors have balconies that extend the same length. At the top of the L are staircases leading up to the second and third floor balconies and to the roof. *The roofs are functional and may be used for various "agricultural" projects: potted tomatoes, beehives (<font color=blue></font>, ), etc. They may not be used for general storage and no other structure may be built on the roofs. *Sameness along the street front is avoided by painting each house front a different pastel color. Many householders have also had murals painted on the street front, scenes from Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese history, myth, and religion. *Business establishments have the same architectural style. The front room becomes the customer (<font color=blue>πελάτ</font>, pelát) area. The bedrooms become workrooms, kitchens, bakeries, etc. The owner and his family live on the second and third floors. *This architectural style is not used for the pensions (<font color=blue>χαν</font>, han).

Any wikilinked field '''must not''' contain any brackets apart from normal round brackets <code>()</code> &mdash; don't use <code><nowiki><>[]{}</nowiki></code>. ===Description of fields=== ====Syntax (for the technical-minded)==== Nested fields rely on their parent fields: *''parent'' *OR: ''parent2'' &mdash; may be used '''instead''' of ''parent'' **''child'' &mdash; may be used '''with''' ''parent'' (and is ignored if ''parent'' is not used) **OR: ''child2'' &mdash; may be used '''instead''' of ''child'' (and is ignored if ''parent2'' is not used) ====Description==== *'''last''': Surname of author. Don't wikilink (use ''authorlink'' instead). **'''first''': First name(s) of author, including title(s) (e.g. ''Firstname Middlename'' or ''Firstname M.'' or ''Dr. Firstname M., Snr.''). Don't wikilink (use ''authorlink'' instead). ***The `last' and `first' fields are not ideally suited to authors whose surname is usually written first (e.g. as in Chinese). Use the same format as the source uses to handle these cases. **{{AuthorMask doc}} See [[#Examples|Examples]] for typical usage. **'''authorlink''': Title of Wikipedia article about author (not the author's personal website). Article should already exist. Must not be wikilinked itself. Do not use this on its own, but along with ''author'' or ''first'' and ''last''. **'''coauthors''': Full name of additional author or authors, separated by ", " (e.g. ''Joe Bloggs, John F. Kennedy, H. R. Dent''). ***Whether the surname of the co-authors goes first or last is dependent on the citation style (see the [[#Citation_styles|citation style]] section below) preferred. *OR: '''author''': Full name of author, preferably surname first. (deprecated) Don't wikilink (use ''authorlink'' instead). *OR: for multiple authors, use the fields '''first1''', '''last1''', ...,<b>first''n'', last''n''</b> to 'correctly' record all the information about the book (the first nine authors are printed, then ''et al.'' is appended if even more authors were specified). Don't wikilink as there are corresponding '''authorlink1''', ..., '''authorlink9''' fields as well. This usage is preferred to the use of '''coauthors'''. *'''editor''': Name of editor/editors. Do not Wikilink any values in the editor field but use ''editor-link'' instead. The template automatically adds "ed." after the editor's name unless the ''chapter'' parameter is used in which case the template adds "in" before the editor's name which appears after the chapter and before the title. This implies that the author is responsible only for part of the book (including the cited chapter) and the editor responsible for the whole book. If, however, the author(s) and editor(s) are responsible for the whole book, then the ''editor'' field or its alternates described below should not be used if the ''chapter'' field is being used. Instead, the editor(s) should be included in an ''author'' field with possibly "(ed.)" after the surname(s). Alternatively, the ''editor'' field may be used if the chapter detail is included in the ''title'' field instead of using the ''chapter'' field. *OR: alternatively '''editor-first''' and '''editor-last''' can be used in the same way as ''first'' and ''last''. *OR: for multiple editors up to four in number, use the fields '''editor1-first''', '''editor1-last''', ...,<b>editor''n''-first, editor''n''-last</b> to 'correctly' record all the information about the book in the same way as ''first''n and ''last''n. **'''editor-link''' or '''editor1-link'''...<b>editor''n''-link</b> is used in the same way as ''authorlink'' or ''authorlink''n. *'''others''': To record other contributors to the work, such as "illustrated by Smith" or "trans. Smith". *'''title''': Title of book. '''''This is the only required parameter.''''' Can be wikilinked but '''only''' to an existing Wikipedia article. Do not use italics. **'''trans_title''': If the book cited is in a foreign language, an English translation of the title can be given here. The template will display this in square brackets after the ''title'' field and it will point to the ''url'' link, if used. Use of ''language'' parameter is recommended if this parameter is used. *'''url''': URL of an online location '''where text of the book can be found'''. Cannot be used if you wikilinked ''title''. If applicable, should point to the specific page(s) referenced. Do not use this field to link to any commercial booksellers (such as Amazon.com). The [[Wikipedia:ISBN|ISBN link]] is a much better alternative which allows readers access to the books in their own countries or through their own choice of source, including Amazon, Google Books, thousands of libraries, and more. **'''format''': Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified. **'''accessdate''': Full date when url was accessed. Should be used when ''url'' field is used.''' Should be in the same format as the rest of the article. Must not be wikilinked. *'''edition''': When the book has more than one edition. ''e.g.:'' "2nd.", "Revised" etc.. Note that the template automatically displays " ed." after this field, so <code>edition=2nd</code> produces "2nd ed.". *'''series''': When the book is part of a series of publications *'''volume''': For one book published in several volumes. However, this template displays the text in this field in bold type after the ''title'' and ''series'' parameters. An alternative is to include the volume information in the ''title'' field after the main title (see example below). (NB: there is a separate {{tl|Cite encyclopedia}} template). *'''date''': Full date of publication edition being referenced, in the same format as the main text of the article. Must not be wikilinked. *OR: '''year''': Year of publication edition being referenced **'''month''': Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use ''date'' instead. Must not be wikilinked. **'''origyear''': Original publication year, for display alongside the date or year. For clarity, please specify as much information as possible, for instance <code>origyear=First published 1859</code> or <code>origyear=Composed 1904</code>. This parameter only displays if a there is a value for ''year'' or ''date''. *'''publisher''': Publisher should not include corporate designation such as "Ltd" or "Inc". **'''location''': Geographical place of publication. *'''language''': The language the book is written in, if it is not English. The template automatically puts parentheses around the text and adds "in" before the language name. *'''isbn''': [[Wikipedia:International Standard Book Number|International Standard Book Number]] such as ''1-111-22222-9''. Note that {{para|isbn}}, like all field names, must be in lowercase. The field must not be wikilinked as the template automatically creates a link. The template is insensitive to formatting so an ISBN number without dashes ("-") may be used (e.g. {{para|isbn|1111222229}}). Please use the 13-digit ISBN where possible; this can normally be found beneath the barcode as a number beginning 978 or 979. For books with the older SBN system (9 digits), use this field but prefix the number with a zero; thus ''SBN 902888 45 5'' should be entered as {{para|isbn|0 902888 45 5}}. More information about this feature and its advantages is available at [[Wikipedia:ISBN|ISBN]]. *'''oclc''': [[Wikipedia:Online Computer Library Center|Online Computer Library Center]] ID number, such as ''3185581''. The field must not be wikilinked as the template automatically creates a link. *'''doi''': A [[Wikipedia:digital object identifier|digital object identifier]] such as ''<nowiki>10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001</nowiki>''. The field must not be wikilinked as the template automatically creates a link. *'''bibcode''': A nineteen character [[Wikipedia:Bibcode|Bibcode]] identifier. The field must not be wikilinked as the template automatically creates a link. *'''id''': A [[Wikipedia:unique identifier|unique identifier]], used if none of the above are applicable. In this case, you need to specify the kind of identifier you are using, preferably with a template like {{tl|ASIN}} or {{tl|ISSN}}. (Use one of the more specialized parameters if possible; they are linked automatically. In other words, don't use {{para|id|ISBN 1-111-22222-9}} anymore; use {{para|isbn|1-111-22222-9}}. If the book has a SBN but not an ISBN, see {{para|isbn}}.) *'''pages''' or '''page''': These parameters are for listing the pages relevant to the citation, ''not'' the total number of pages in the book. "<code>|pages= 5–7</code>" produces "pp. 5–7", while "<code>|page= 5</code>" produces "p. 5". The "pp." notation indicating multiple pages, and "p." notation indicating a single page, ''are placed automatically'' when you choose between the plural (''pages'') or singular (''page'') form of the parameter. **'''nopp''': using "page" or "pages", automatically places the p. or pp. notations. If this is inappropriate—for instance, if <code>page=Front cover</code>, placing any value after <code>nopp</code> (e.g. <code>nopp=y</code> will hide the p. or pp. notation. *'''chapter''' (= '''contribution'''): The chapter of the book, written in full. Punctuation other than quotes should be included in the value passed to the parameter, e.g. {{para|chapter|Chapter 12: Meet Dick and Jane.}} produces "Chapter 12: Meet Dick and Jane." ahead of ''title''. **'''trans_chapter''': Acts in the same way as ''trans_title''. The field will be displayed in square brackets within the quotation marks which embrace the ''chapter'' field. Use of ''language'' parameter is recommended if this parameter is used. **'''chapterurl''': URL of an individual chapter of online book. Should be at the same site as ''url'', if any. *'''quote''': Relevant quote from the book. *'''ref''': ID for anchor. By default, no anchor is generated. The ordinary nonempty value {{para|ref|<var>ID</var>}} generates an anchor with the given <code><var>ID</var></code>; such a linkable reference can be made the target of [[Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations #Wikilinks to full references|wikilinks to full references]], especially useful in short citations like [[Wikipedia:Citing sources #Shortened footnotes|shortened notes]] and [[Wikipedia:Parenthetical referencing|parenthetical referencing]]. The special value {{para|ref|harv}} generates an anchor suitable for the {{tl|harv}} template; see ''[[Template:Citation/doc #Anchors for Harvard referencing templates|anchors for Harvard referencing templates]]''. See "Wikilinks to full references" in [[#Examples|Examples]] below for using the ''ref'' field in citation templates in conjunction with short <nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki> citations. *'''laysummary''': Link to a non-technical summary (or review) of the book **'''laydate''': Date of summary *'''separator''': The separator to use in lists of authors, editors, ''etc''. Defaults to ".", but "," may be useful also. *'''postscript''': The closing punctuation for the citation. Defaults to ".", but "" may be useful also. *'''lastauthoramp''': The separator to use between the last two names in lists of authors. Defaults to "", but "&amp;" may be useful as well. ==Examples== ;Just a title: :<code><nowiki>* {{cite book | title=Mysterious book }}</nowiki></code> :*{{cite book | title = Mysterious book }} ;Year and title: :<code><nowiki>* {{cite book | title=Mysterious book | year=1901 }}</nowiki></code> :*{{cite book | title = Mysterious book | year = 1901 }} ;Basic usage: :<code><nowiki>* {{cite book | first=Joe | last=Bloggs | authorlink=Joe Bloggs | year=1974 | title=Book of Bloggs }}</nowiki></code> :*{{cite book | first=Joe | last=Bloggs | authorlink=Joe Bloggs | year=1974 | title=Book of Bloggs }} ;Basic usage with url: :<code><nowiki>* {{cite book | last=Bloggs | first=Joe | authorlink=Joe Bloggs | year=1974 | title=Book of Bloggs | edition=1st | url=http://en.wikipedia.org/ | accessdate=2006-02-17 }}</nowiki></code> :*{{cite book | last=Bloggs | first=Joe | authorlink=Joe Bloggs | year=1974 | title=Book of Bloggs | edition=1st | url=http://en.wikipedia.org/ | accessdate=2006-02-17 }} ; Citing a chapter in a book with different authors for different chapters and an editor :<code><nowiki>* {{cite book |last=Bloggs | first=Fred |editor-first=John| editor-last=Doe |title=Big Compilation Book With Many Chapters and distinct chapter authors |publisher=Book Publishers |date=2001-01-01 |pages=100-110 |chapter=Chapter 2: The History Of The Bloggs Family |isbn=1234567890}}</nowiki></code> :*{{cite book |last=Bloggs | first=Fred |editor-first=John| editor-last=Doe |title=Big Book With Many Chapters and distinct chapter authors|publisher=Book Publishers |date=2001-01-01 |pages=100-110 |chapter=Chapter 2: The History Of The Bloggs Family |isbn=1234567890}} ; Citing a chapter in a book with two joint authors and an editor :<code><nowiki>* {{cite book |last1=Bloggs | first1=Joe| last2=Egg| first2=Fred| first3=John (ed.)| last3=Doe |title=Big Book With Many Chapters and two co-authors |publisher=Book Publishers |date=2001-01-01 ||origyear=1st.

Roots appear to contain only plain consonants. --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 17:00, 13 January 2010 (UTC) In fact, very few nonplain consonants are found in any underlying forms: there are only the /f/ of the first person marker and the /χ/ of the complicated past. The status of /ts/ is unclear: no roots contain it, but it's not a non-plain grade of any plain consonant. <!-- A consonant <b'> has appeared in round 6, but only in a name.

Attested vowel clusters: /iɔ/ Attested vowel contractions: //ui// → /u/, //ɛi// → /e/, //ii// → /i/ '''Tone''' High and low. Low is unmarked. High tone remains in contractions, but in some proccesses of reduplication (not in verbal pluralization) the second of two is dissimilated to low. ===Lenition=== The following changes are attested: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Original | p || b || t || n || g || ŋ || q |- ! Lenited | f || v || s || ð̃ || ɣ || ɣ̃ || χ |} [ð̃ ɣ] have only been attested under spirant lenition thus far. I would presume the process to apply regularly also to the "missing" [[buccal]] stops / nasals, ie. m, d, k → ṽ, z (ð? l??), x. /s, j/ appear to be unchanged under lenition as seen from ''gɔso'', ''vijes''. Whether the other consonants do anything remains to be seen. ===Other alternations=== Gemination appears to be regular for at least lenitable consonants, with ''bb'', ''tt'', ''nn'', ''gg'', ''ŋŋ'' attested. /tsʹ, s/ appears to resist gemination as seen from ''betsʼaq, ísasaq''. /j/ becomes /ddz/ when geminated. There is also prenasalization (apparently identical with gemination for nasals). ===Syllable structure=== Thus far (C)V(N)(C) seems sufficient (maximal example: ''boimb''). Only clusters of two consonants have been observed medially, generally limited to geminates and nasal + consonant (but see ''hóvhov''. Might coda /v/ be [w]?)

Athos, the Great Lavra, is founded by [[wikipedia:Saint Athanasius|Saint Athanasius]].

Each vowel belongs to one of two groups: tense (marked in red in the table above) or lax (marked with blue). ==== Tones ==== Lhueslue has three tones: low, mid and high. The mid tone is the most common one. The low tone may be realized as falling, and high can be realized as rising. === Allophony === ==== Length ==== The high tone turns its vowel long, and the low tone turns it half-long. If a word has only mid tones, the final syllable will have a long vowel on two conditions. # It must be a monophthong. # The syllable must be open or end with one of the following consonants: {{IPA|/b, d, ɡ, ʒ, l, ɻ, s, v, w, x/}}. ==== Vowel harmony ==== The lax vowels are paired together with the tense vowels in the following way: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Tense ! Lax |- || {{IPA|i}} || {{IPA|ɘ}} |- || {{IPA|u}} || {{IPA|y}} |- || {{IPA|e}} || {{IPA|ɛ}} |- || {{IPA|o}} || {{IPA|ø}} |- || {{IPA|ɑ}} || {{IPA|æ}} |} Some words, or combinations of words and affixes have so called ''broken vowel harmony''. It means that the word contains both tense and lax vowels, but that the allophony treat the boundary between tense and lax as a word boundary (this boundary is marked with a dash in the romanization). One example of a word with broken vowel harmony is oe-i (old). This word is pronunced {{IPA|[øː.iː]}}. Note how the two vowels do not form a diphthong, and both are long as if both appeared at the end of a word. ==== Vowel quality ==== The front high-mid vowels {{IPA|/e, ø/}} become mid {{IPA|[e̞, ø̞]}} when followed by a uvular consonant that is in the same syllable. In that same environment the front high vowels {{IPA|/i, y/}} become near-high {{IPA|[ɪ, ʏ]}}. ==== Consonant quality ==== The alveolar lateral approximant {{IPA|/l/}} becomes velarized {{IPA|[ɫ]}} in the environment {{IPA|/ɻ(V(V))_/}}. == Writing == === Romanization === {| class="aligntop" style="width:80%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; vertical-align: top;" ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Letter ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Pronunciation ! style="width: 20%; font-size: small;" | Semantic association | |- !

Diaeresis is used on e to mark that it is not part of a digraph. == Grammar == === Morphology === ==== Nouns ==== Lhueslue has no noun case affixes; instead, [[Lhueslue#Postposition|postpositions]] are used. Lhueslue also lacks grammatical number. If there is some dire need to mark singularity or plurality however, the words ''oeue'' (one) and ''o'' (many) may be used. ===== Noun class ===== There are eleven different noun classes in Lhueslue.

Dark | &ensp; || &ensp; || &ensp; || &ensp; || tieng |} The aether first person pronoun is used by gods, or by god roles in written dialogue or in plays. Likewise the aether second person pronoun is only used when addressing gods. The neuter singular first and second person pronouns are seldomly used. When they are used, it is usually in formal situations. The neuter singular second person pronoun is best avoided in all situations except for the very formal, because otherwise it may be taken as an insult. The neuter third person pronoun is likewise used in formal situations, but also when referring to a hypothetical or unknown person. When referring to a mixed group of people, the plural third person pronouns are always used. ===== Demonstratives ===== The demonstratives in Lhueslue can be used as both pronouns and determiners. {| class="wikitable" |- ! &ensp; || 1<sup>st</sup> person || 2<sup>nd</sup> person || 3<sup>rd</sup> person |- ! Neuter | &ensp; || xhaeeel || luong |- ! Masculine | aur || xhaeeer || ruong |- ! Feminine | auc || xhaeeec || cuong |- ! Earth | aum || xhaeeem || muong |- ! Water | aush || xhaeeesh || shuong |- !

Dark | iet || xhaeie || tie |} ==== Verbs ==== ===== Transitivity ===== Some verbs are by default intransitive, while others are transitive. But intransitive verbs can be derived from transitive ones by adding a suffix that agrees with the subject's noun class. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Noun class ! Suffix with tense vowel harmony,<br>following a consonant ! Suffix with tense vowel harmony,<br>following a vowel ! Suffix with lax vowel harmony,<br>following a consonant ! Suffix with lax vowel harmony,<br>following a vowel |- | Masculine | -ar | -ra | -eer | -ree |- | Feminine | -ac | -ca | -eec | -cee |- | Earth | -am | -ma | -eem | -mee |- | Water | -ash | -sha | -eesh | -shee |- | Fire | -af | -fa | -eef | -fee |- | Air | -ah | -ha | -eeh | -hee |- | Metal | -ak | -ka | -eek | -kee |- | Wood | -ath | -tha | -eeth | -thee |- | Aether | -alh | -lha | -ue | -lhue |- | Light | -ai | -ti | -eet | -tee |- | Dark | -ad | -da | -ie | -die |} ===== Tense ===== The verbs have three tenses: past, present and future. The present tense is unmarked while past and future are marked with suffixes. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Verb class ! Suffix ! Example |- | Tense or lax, ends with -e or -ee | -q | eze (move) > ezeq (moved); chyuelee (think) > chyueleeq (thought) |- | Tense, ends with anything else than -e | -eq | buzeyted (roll) > buzeytedeq (rolled) |- | Lax, ends with anything else than -ee | -eeq | eelùe (sleep) > eelùeeeq (sleeped) |} <br> The future tense is formed similarly, except with -xh instead of -q as the final consonant. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Verb class ! Suffix ! Example |- | Tense or lax, ends with -e or -ee | -xh | eze (move) > ezexh (will move); chyuelee (think) > chyueleexh (will think) |- | Tense, ends with anything else than -e | -exh | buzeyted (roll) > buzeytedexh (will roll) |- | Lax, ends with anything else than -ee | -eexh | eelùe (sleep) > eelùeeexh (will sleep) |} <br> ===== Aspect ===== Aspect in Lhueslue is not marked by affixes but with different adverbs. The progressive aspect is expressed with the adverb ''je'' (still), which is placed after the verb. The perfect aspect is marked witt ''xha'' (then) in the past and future tenses, and ''qae'' (already) in the present tense. ''Xha'' is placed at the beginning of the sentence while ''qae'' is placed after the verb. Habitual aspect is expressed by placing ''óvulh'' (usually) after the verb. There are also three kinds of frequentative adverbs. ''Óche'' (frequentative 1) is used about actions where it is possible to count the number of times is happens. ''Oche'' (frequentative 2) is similar to frequentative 1, except that it describes a random or aimless action. ''Olhe'' (frequentative 3) is used about actions that are uncountable, either because they are so many or quick, or because it is hard to say where one instance of an action ends and another begins. All frequentatives are placed after the verb. The following table displays examples of all aspects and all possible combinations of aspects. {| class="wikitable" ! &ensp; ! Past ! Present ! Future |- ! Progressive | Nezeq je níthippub laj <br> I was eating apples | Nez je níthippub laj <br> I am eating apples | Nezexh je níthippub laj <br> I will be eating apples |- ! Perfect | Xha nezeq níthippub laj <br> I had eaten an apple | Nez qae níthippub laj <br> I have eaten an apple | Xha nezexh níthippub laj <br> I will have eaten an apple |- !

Frequentative 2 | Yae-eq oche laj <br> I jumped around | Yae-e oche laj <br> I jump around | Yae-exh oche laj <br> I will jump around |- ! Frequentative 3 | Xengameq olhe mu <br> The ground was shaking | Xengam olhe mu <br> The ground is shaking | Xengamexh olhe mu <br> The ground will be shaking |- !

Active voice is unmarked while passive voice is marked by a circumfix on the verb. The first part (prefix) of the circumfix agrees with the object's noun class, and the last part (suffix) agrees with the subject. But if the verb is intransitive, the prefix is dropped. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Noun class ! Prefix preceding a consonant ! Prefix preceding a vowel |- | Masculine | ree- | r- |- | Feminine | cee- | c- |- | Earth | mee- | m- |- | Water | shee- | sh- |- | Fire | fee- | f- |- | Air | hee- | h- |- | Metal | kee- | k- |- | Wood | thee- | th- |- | Aether | ue- | uelh- |- | Light | i- | t- |- | Dark | ie- | d- |} <br> {| class="wikitable" |- ! Noun class ! Suffix following a consonant ! Suffix following a vowel |- | Masculine | -eer | -r |- | Feminine | -eec | -c |- | Earth | -eem | -m |- | Water | -eesh | -sh |- | Fire | -eef | -f |- | Air | -eeh | -h |- | Metal | -eek | -k |- | Wood | -eeth | -th |- | Aether | -ue | -lhue |- | Light | -i | -t(i) |- | Dark | -ie | -d(ie) |} If the affix has a tense vowel while the verb is lax, or vice versa, it results in [[Lhueslue#Vowel_harmony|broken vowel harmony]]. But in the case of the light and dark suffixes following a vowel, the vowel in the suffix is skipped if it's not in the same vowel harmony group as the verb. For example eze (move) becomes tezed if the object is light and subject dark, but eelùe (sleep) becomes teelùedie. ===== Order of affixes ===== The order of affixes on the verb is PASS-VERB-INTR-PASS-TENSE. An example of a fully inflected verb is: {| | colspan="5" | ''Aëmameq'' |- ! align="left" | aë || align="left" | ma || align="left" | m || align="left" | eq |- | align="left" | begin || align="left" | INTR.EARTH || align="left" | PASS.EARTH || align="left" | PAST |- | colspan="5" | ''(Something) was made to begin.'' |} ==== Adpositions and particles ==== {| class="wikitable" ! Word || Type || Meaning || Example |- | al || postp. || with (comitative, human) || Nezeq neez-qaxhzif tcue <u>al</u> raj. <br> eat-PAST dinner wife <u>COM</u> 1SG.M <br> ''I ate dinner <u>with</u> my wife.'' |- | arh || postp. || with (comitative, animal) || |- | av || postp. || from (a person) || |- | aed || postp. || as opposed to smth else || Nyeq aq rhiu-beeptoed Bil <u>aed</u>. <br> smell-PAST first bacon Bill <u>as.opposed.to.someone.else</u> <br> ''It was Bill who smelled the bacon first.'' |- | aelh || prep. || into (translative) || Lhaeq uey <u>aelh</u> yùesh Maerie. <br> become-PAST mood <u>TRANSL</u> sad Mary <br> ''Mary became sad.'' |- | aeng || postp. || to (a place) || Sheq gthesh <u>aeng</u> Djon. <br> swim-PAST raft <u>to</u> John <br> ''John swam <u>to</u> the raft.'' |- | eeg || postp. || with (instrumental) || Peq núco-btheef kup <u>eeg</u> neezael. <br> cut-PAST cake knife <u>INS</u> cook <br> ''The cook cut the cake <u>with</u> a knife.'' |- | ív || postp. || for (benefactive) || Kvaeeeq gbuzuyheth lí <u>ív</u> Djon. <br> sell-PAST wagon friend <u>BEN</u> ''John <br> John sold the wagon <u>for</u> a friend.'' |- | ie || prep? || not || |- | juelh || || as || |- | nga || postp. || from (a place) || |- | sùej || part. || interrogative || |- | vae || postp. || to (a person) || Véq xhongéj au Maerie <u>vae</u> Djon. <br> give-PAST book new Mary <u>to</u> John <br> ''John gave Mary a new book.'' |} ''Al'' is used together with human nouns and ''arh'' together with animals. In case of groups, ''al'' is used. ''Aed'' functions as a topicalizing postposition, or like the word "however" in English. ''Ív'' is used for expressing who's or what sake something is done for. Lhueslue doesn't have distinction between illative and allative or elative and ablative, but there is a distinction between if something is going to our from a place (''aeng'' and ''nga'') or person (''av'' and ''vae''). ''Av'' and ''vae'' are used for expressing that something is delivered to or from someone, or that someone is visiting that person. To express that something enters or exits someone's body, ''aeng'' and ''nga'' are used however. === Syntax === The normal word order in Lhueslue is VOS. ==== Genitive ==== The genitive is expressed with the particle eev. The order is ''possessed noun - eev - possessor''. {| | colspan="3" | ''Su eev rong.'' |- ! align="left" | su || align="left" | eev || align="left" | rong |- | align="left" | ear || align="left" | GEN || align="left" | 3.SG.M |- | colspan="3" | ''His ear.'' |} ==== Imperative ==== Imperative sentences have always a subject, which is the person who is requested to do something. The subject is moved to the beginning of the sentence while everything else follows the normal word order. {| | colspan="4" | ''Rixh zexh chuloung aeng!'' |- ! align="left" | rixh || align="left" | zexh || align="left" | chuloung || align="left" | aeng |- | align="left" | 2.SG.M || align="left" | walk || align="left" | room || align="left" | toward |- | colspan="4" | ''Go to your room!'' |} The verb can be in either present or future tense. Using future tense is more polite, because it implies that the speaker understands that the action can't be carried out immediately. ==== Hortative ==== The hortative mood is formed exactly the same way as the imperative, but the pronoun that is used must be a first person plural. {| | colspan="3" | ''Lajlaj sluesoexeexh thtoedsvue'' |- ! align="left" | lajlaj || align="left" | sluesoex-eexh || align="left" | thtoedsvue |- | align="left" | 1.PL.N || align="left" | write-FUT || align="left" | note |- | colspan="3" | ''Let's write a note, shall we?'' |} ==== Time ==== For indicating duration, a temporal adverb is placed after the verb. A temporal adverb anywhere else indicates when something happened. {| | colspan="3" | ''Zexhéheq raj qae-yif.'' |- ! align="left" | zexhéh-eq || align="left" | raj || align="left" | qae.yif |- | align="left" | run-PAST || align="left" | 1.SG.M || align="left" | yesterday |- | colspan="3" | ''I ran yesterday.'' <br> {| | colspan="3" | ''Zexhéheq qae-yif raj.'' |- ! align="left" | zexhéh-eq || align="left" | qae.yif || align="left" | raj |- | align="left" | run-PAST || align="left" | yesterday || align="left" | 1.SG.M |- | colspan="3" | ''I ran the whole day yesterday.'' |} When indicating when something happened, the temporal adverb can be placed after any object or subject. It is preferrably placed after whichever core argument that has the smallest amount of other words referring to it (adjectives, spatial particles, etc.) after it. If there are several word that qualify as "the core argument with least amount of referents following it", the temporal adverb is placed as close to the beginning of the sentence as possible if the time reference is seen as something important, and as close to the end as possible if it's seen as something unimportant. The temporal adverb can also be placed at the beginning of a sentence, in which case it indicates topicality. ==== Interrogative ==== The particle sùej is placed at the beginning of a sentence, no matter what type of question it is.

Accessible through the Leanna Gate. Atail and Vais are the only known planets within the reach of current spacecraft; however, some other planets in the galaxy show signs of life. <div style="width: 250px; border: 1px solid; padding: 6px; float: none;"> '''''Legend:''''' ;parameter name :;[alternate parameter name] :explanation </div> ;english :;English : ''Armine, Armeian''. ;native : ''Armeisughol''. ;Planet : Vais ;Galaxy : Arfholin ;speakers : Due to the widespread propagation of the Armine Solthain Empire throughout history, there are now approximately 950,000,000 total speakers of Armine, especially impressive given the language's large phonemic inventory and complex grammar. This is said to be due to the Empire's excellent education system. Around 780 million speak Armine at a native or near-native level, ;family : It is a Vaisan language, the languages of Vais. ;branch : Merumannic, the languages native to the Meruman continent ;subbranch : Terchitic, The languages of the ethnic groups native to the land where the Solthain Empire was founded ;word-order :;wordorder : Verb Subject Object (VSO), like the Gaelic/Celtic languages of Earth ;date : This language was created in 2009 by Willis Meine (me). This template was ripped off from Andrew Wood. ==Romanized Orthography== The native script used to represent Armine is alien, and while it is a relatively simple and effective writing system, many casual readers will not have the time to memorize all the symbols. It will be explained in on of the last sections of this article. As a result of this complexity, a system of romanization is employed throughout this book alongside the original script to allow the reader to recognize the general phonetic structure of words. Due to the inadequacies of the Roman alphabet in transliterating some of the phonemes (meaningful sounds) in Armine, various diacritics and special characters are used in the romanization. Additionally, other characters are necessary to get rid of ambiguities present: the apostrophe is used in the RA to separate dissyllabic vowel combinations which might otherwise be interpreted as diphthongs, e.g., '''a’i''' [a.i] versus '''ai''' [ai], and the hyphen is used to separate elided prefixes before vowel initial words, as in n-arox (na+arox) and prosthesis of consonants used in inflection of vowel-initial nouns and adjectives, as in t-ödanc (ödanc + t prefix). These phenomena will be discussed later. ==Phonology== Armine has a massive phonemic inventory even for an alien language, standing at 96 consonants and 20 vowels. This is mostly due to the Armei people's famously keen sense of hearing. Even at low volumes, they can pick out the smallest sonic details, making the task of distinguishing phonemes inherently easier for them. These phonemes are illustrated by place and manner of articulation in the below using a special romanized orthography.

No distinction is made between dental and alveolar stops, and while most speakers normally use the dental pronunciations '''[d̪],[ t̪], [n̪]''', these consonants may still have alveolar allophones '''[d], [t], [n]''', especially when next to consonants that are normally alveolar such as '''s, z, l, r''' ~ see ''Allophonic Distinctions'' '''2.''' These phonemes are very unusual. Both of them are slack voiced fricatives with simultaneous nareal frication. IPA '''[β̥͋]''' and '''[γ̥͋]'''. '''3.''' This series of phonemes may actually be advanced to a “post-palatal” place of articulation, especially by humans and non-native speakers. '''4.''' The usual bilabial realizations of '''[w],[ʍ]''' are in free variation with the labiodentals '''[ʋ],[ʋ̥]'''.

They are not included in the traditional alphabet. Certain phrases are treated as diphthongs also. '''Sa es''', ''she is, there is, there are''</em> is pronounced as `saes'. '''A es''' and '''O es''' are treated similarly. In the standard dialect of Brithenig, where 'ae' and 'oe' are pronounced as long vowels, instead of diphthongs, these phrases can be contracted to '''sa's''', '''a's''' and '''o's'''. When it becomes necessary to prevent two sounds from eliding, to avoid confusion or loss of sound or meaning, the ending ''-dd'' is added to a word: '''ys a-dd abrob''', ''he has nearly...'' The letter 'y' at the beginning of a word is often unstressed and when preceded by a word ending in a vowel it often elides. Some monosyllabic words end with a consonant cluster with r or l as the last letter. It is the case here that the last letter is pronounced as if the vowel in the word is repeated before it. '''Llifr''', ''book'', is pronounced as 'llifir'. Sometimes it is spelled this way. With longer words `r' in this position is silent. Stress in Brithenig is placed on the ultimate, or last syllable. Brithenig sometimes accents words with a circumflex, called a '''teithith''', or ''little roof''. Although the accent is always pronounced as 'long', more often than not it appears to be purely grammatical, for example, '''la''' and '''lâ'''. Mutations in Brithenig 7132 58770 2010-12-28T20:54:31Z - andrew 211 /* Table of Mutations */ These are very important in Brithenig. There are three initial mutations in Brithenig: soft mutation, spirant mutation, and nasal mutation. Soft mutation is the most common and is used initially with feminine nouns, adjectives and verbs, changes in sentence order or after an adverb, and the prepositions '''di''', of, from, and '''gwo''', under, beneath. Spirant mutation marks nouns, adjectives and verbs as plural, it is also used with the prepositions <strong>tra</strong>, <em>through</em>, and '''a''', to, at, and the conjunction '''mai''', but. The infinitive of a verb is speech normally undergoes spirant mutation, unless the preceding verb was an auxiliary verb. Nasal mutation is used with the negative adverb <strong>rhen</strong> to mark verbs as negative, it is also used with the preposition '''in''', in, into and '''cun''', with. In Brithenig the mutations are called '''cluinediwn''', declensions, and are described as '''moillad''', softened; '''solwed''', loosened; and '''naral''', nasal. ==Table of Mutations== {| | radical || Soft || Spirant || Nasal |- | p || b || ph || mh |- | t || d || th || nh |- | c || g || ch || ngh |- | b || f || f || m |- | d || dd || dd || n |- | g || 0 || 0 || ng |- | m || f || f || n/a |- | ll || l || l || n/a |- | rh || r || r || n/a |} Hard 'g' always becomes silent when it is softened. If the 'g' is an afficative, pronounced like the 'j' in jam, as before the vowels 'i' and 'e', then the 'g' is not softened. Likewise 'c' before a front vowel becomes 'g', with the j-pronunciation when it is softened. 'C' before 'i' or 'e' does not undergo spirant mutation, but may soften in those circumstances. What causes mutations? Mutations are caused by the loss of sounds at the end of preceding words. A word ending in a vowel, such as the -a ending of feminine article, noun, or adjective causes the next word to soften. For the most part these vowels have been lost, except in a few one-syllabled words, such as pronouns, articles and prepositions. (Note that the Romance masculine ending -o had been lost before this softening started to take place.) Spirant mutations are caused by an original -s on the end of words that became -h before it vanished but still affects following words. The exception to this rule is the preposition '''a''' from latin `ad', where the final -d became assimilated in sound with the consonant following it, and then the cluster underwent spirant mutation. In the modern language this rule has become irregular and dropped. Before a vowel the preposition '''a''' and the conjunction '''e''' are more likely to add the ending '''-dd''', becoming '''a-dd''' and '''e-dd'''. Nasal mutation is caused by nasal consonant ending the preposition, or the lost negative participle `non'. Even though the -n or -m is still written, it is pronounced the same as the nasal mutation following it. Nouns in Brithenig 7133 50978 2009-12-08T07:02:36Z - andrew 211 here are two genders in Brithenig: masculine and feminine. All nouns in Brithenig are recognised as being of one gender or the other. The gender of a noun is indicated by the form of the definite article which precedes it: '''ill''' (masculine); '''lla''' (feminine). In some dialects the articles, including the plural form, '''llo''' are pronounced as if they were written as L instead of LL. While this is not discouraged, it is regarded by native speakers as a foreign or colonial feature and not an indigenous feature. Some dialects, notably the Kernow dialect found in the southern provinces of Cambria, do not have this sound at all. The masculine article elides with prepositions that end with a consonant: '''a''' 'to, at' + '''ill''' -> a'll '''di''' 'of, from' + '''ill''' -> '''di'll''' '''gwo''' 'under, below, beneath' + ill -> '''gwo'll''' Four features distinguish feminine nouns from masculine nouns: 1. The initial consonant of the noun undergoes mutation after the feminine article, or after a possessive pronoun. The following prepositions are known to cause softening: '''di''', of, from '''gwo''', under, below, beneath The conjunctions '''e''', 'and', and '''o''', 'or' both cause softening to following nouns Before these parts of speech, LL and RH do not do so before the article. The definite articles are exceptional and do not mutate. The prepositions '''tra''', through and '''a''', to, at cause spirant mutation rather than softening. Prepositions are pronounced in spoken Brithenig as though they were softened, although the written language does not reflect this: '''di''' is pronounced as ''ddi'' '''gwo''' is pronounced as ''wo'' '''tra''' is pronounced as ''dra'' 2. Adjectives following a feminine noun always undergo soft mutation. 3. The demonstrative pronoun 'that' is '''o''' for masculine nouns and '''a''' for feminine nouns. The demonstrative pronoun '''yst''', `this', is the same for nouns of both genders. The plural forms are '''llo h-o''' and '''llo h-a''' for 'those' and '''llo h-yst''' for 'these' '''O''' and '''a''' are not used as articles before nouns in modern Brithenig. For that the adverbs '''ci''', `here', and '''llâ''', `there', are added to the definate noun phrase. For example, `this man' and `that man' become '''ill of ci''' and '''ill hof llâ'''. 4. Feminine nouns are referred to as '''sa''', `she', masculine nouns as '''ys''', `he'. In Brithenig the plural ending has become silent and is no longer written. To indicate when a noun is plural the article changes from '''ill''' and '''lla''' to the plural form, '''llo'''. The plural article also causes spirant mutation: '''ill of''' 'the man' -> '''llo h-ôn''' 'the men' '''ill of''' and '''llo h-ôn''' is one of the few cases in Brithenig where the singular and plural forms of the same noun are different. '''lla gas''' `the house' -> '''llo chas''' 'the houses' Among some speakers it seems that '''llo''' is loosing is definite quality and it is interpreted only as a plural marker. How, or if, they mark the definite plural noun has not been recorded. Plural nouns after possessive pronouns also take the spirant mutation. '''gwstr gas''', your house '''gwstr chas''', your houses '''llo wstr chas''', your houses, is also common and grammatically acceptable. Some words have special plurals created by changing from masculine to feminine gender: '''ill bordd''', hut, '''lla fordd''', huts '''ill busc''', wood, '''lla fusc''', woods '''ill breich''', arm, '''lla ddewfreich''', arms '''ill cil''', eyebrow, '''lla ddewchil''', eyebrows '''ill corn''', horn, '''lla ddewchorn''', horns '''ill ew''', egg, '''lla ew''', eggs '''ill genygl''', knee, '''lla ddewgenygl,''' knees '''ill llafr''', lip, '''lla dewllafr''', lips '''ill os''', bone, '''lla os''', bones '''ill rham''', branch, '''lla rham''', branches Many of these have a collective meaning, '''lla dewfreich''', a pair of arms joined to a body, contrasted to '''llo freich''', arms in a general sense. This is often reinforced in natural pairs by adding dew, two, as a prefix: '''yn ddewfreich''', a pair of arms. The indefinite singular article is '''yn''', which also means `one'. It also causes initial consonants to mutate on feminine nouns. The indefinite plural article is the preposition '''di''' combined with the definite article: '''di llo h-ôn''', some men. In the spoken language it is contracted and pronounced as '''dd'lo'''. The same happens with feminine plurals: '''dd'la'''. (The creator of Brithenig thinks this is an ugly feature and doesn't use it. Any student of the language is free to make their own choice - Andrew.) Common nouns must always have an article. A notable exception is a genitive construction that alternatives with the use of '''di''' as possessive marker in Brithenig. Normally the only way to say 'the man's house' in Romance languages is to rearange it to mean 'the house of the man', '''lla gas di'll of'''. But there is an alternative form called the genitive construction. The preposition '''di''' is omitted along with the definate article of the possessed object. The possessed object comes first, followed by the possessor: '''cas ill of''', 'the man's house, the house of the man' '''cas yn of''', 'a man's house, the house of a man' In this case the possessed object is always understood as being definate, it cannot be understood as `a house of . . .' It is not uncommon in poetic literature, but can also be translated as '''lla gas di'll of''', or '''lla gas d'yn of'''. It is often avoided when the possessed object is plural to avoid confusion, as there is no way to indicate plurality other than context. Many words expressing unspecified quantities, such as '''asset''', 'enough'; '''mullt''', 'many'; '''tan''', 'too much'; are also followed by '''di'''. Brithenig has three suffixes which are used on nouns, two diminutives and one augmentative. '''-ith''' is the usual diminutive, '''teithith''', little roof, circumflex, '''-in''' implies affection, '''Tomin''', `Tommy'. It is also used on collective nouns, '''plenhin''', child, from '''plant''', children. The augmentative is '''-un''', '''ofun''', big man. Treat them as very productive. Brithenig has cases of i-mutation in its history, which cause A to become E, and U to become Y. These cases are distinct from the normal letters E and I because they do not cause C and G to become the soft affricate sounds of 'tch' and 'j'. Technically the diminutive suffixes cause these vowels to change, but it is not strictly adhered to in spoken Brithenig.

Each vowel mora has either high pitch or low pitch. The pitch accent is chiefly lexical, roots generally and affixes often having their own pitch or pitch contour, but many affixes are pitchless on their own. The rules by which a vowel without its own lexical pitch is associated with high or low pitch have not yet been described. Genitive 7135 51009 2009-12-10T16:03:05Z Tropylium 756 catzd The '''genitive case''' is a [[grammatical case]] that most typically indicates [[possession]] and is marked on the possessor. It is the opposite of the [[construct case]], which is marked on the possessed. ==Syntactical properties== Whether genitives precede or succede the governing noun, tends to correlate with whether a language features [[preposition]]s or [[postposition]]s. This is connected with the tendency of adpositions to [[Diachronic syntax|derive from]] genitive constructions by reduction of the head noun. ([[Linguistic universal]]s [http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/archive/nav/browse.php?number=1 #1], [http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/archive/nav/browse.php?number=2 #2]) In languages with OV [[word order]], especially those that are SOV and lack [[adverb]]s as a distinct part-of-speech, the ordering ''genitive - noun'' furthermore correlates with the ordering ''adjective - noun''.

[[Category:Grammar]] Markedness 7139 51060 2009-12-15T18:51:03Z Tropylium 756 /* Examples of markedness */ aw damn '''Markedness''' is a typological linguistic notion roughly equivalent to the "typicality" of a single feature. A language feature that is highly marked is atypical; one that is less marked is common (but, depending on the amount of possibilities, not necessarily overwhelmingly so). When the least marked choice in a set involves the ''absense'' of a feature, it is called '''unmarked'''. Markedness can only be compared to other similar features; it does not make sense to ask, for example, which of [[contour tone]] and [[comitative case]] is the more marked, as one is a pattern of [[prosody]] (within the domain of [[phonology]]) and the other is a [[case]] (within the domain of [[morphology]]). Markedness is also '''qualitative''': it can not be quantified, outside of the percentage of occurrence in a given sample of languages. ==Examples of markedness== "A > B" is used here to signify that A is more marked than B, while ">>" signifies "very much more marked". * [[Grammatical alignment]] ** Transitive >> tripartite >> ergative > accusative * [[Phonation]]: ** For [[obstruent]]s, voiced > unvoiced ** For [[sonorant]]s, unvoiced > voiced ** [[Aspiration|Aspirated]] > unaspirated ** [[Glottalization|Glottalized]] fricative > glottalized sonorant > glottalized stop * [[Place of articulation]]: **[[Coronal consonant]]s are the least marked, together with [[glottal]] **[[Uvular]] > [[velar]] **[[Palatalization|Palatalized]] > unpalatalized (likewise for [[velarization]], [[labialization]], etc.) **Labialized coronal > labialized labial >> labialized velar *[[Word order]] ** OS > SO [[Category:Linguistic typology]] [[Category:Terminology]] User:DCliche 7140 52513 2010-03-09T01:18:16Z DCliche 1352 Hi.

T Telephone System in the MR 7145 51313 2010-01-06T15:19:30Z Caeruleancentaur 11 *In 1952 a telephone system was established in the Monastic Republic. Residences and businesses were joined to the system using underground cables so as not to mar the scenery. A cable was laid from Prosforion to Amoulián to connect the island to the system. Cables were laid from Prosforion to Dafni and the monasteries on the east coast to connect the Holy Mountain to the system and from Aktí to the monasteries on the west coast. By the end of 1954, every residence and business in the Monastic Republic, including the monasteries, had a telephone. *As the technology developed, the Monastic Republic was not slow in adopting the innovations to the MR’s system. However, there has not been a great demand for cell phones. They are used mainly by police and emergency personnel. A phone tower has been erected on a hill outside of Prosforion which is not on the Holy Mountain. Cell phones will not function on the Holy Mountain, since there is no tower coverage. *Because of the small population, it has not been necessary to use telephone numbers greater than five digits. **The exchange for Prosforion is PR (77). It is sufficient to have resident and business telephone numbers from 001 to 999. **The exchange for Aktí is AK (25). It is sufficient to have resident and business telephone numbers from 001 to 999. **The exchange for Amoulián is AM (26). It is sufficient to have resident and business telephone numbers from 001 to 999. ** The exchange for government offices is KU (58) ('''κυ'''βέρνις, government). It is sufficient to have government telephone numbers from 001 to 999. **The exchange for the Holy Mountain is AO (26) ('''Ά'''γιος '''Ό'''ρος, Holy Mountain). ***The monastery telephone numbers go from 001 for St. Athanasius to 020 for St. Thomas in their order of precedence. Each monastery has but one telephone which is in the office of the hegumen or abbot. **It is only necessary to dial the last three digits for a call made within an exchange. **The emergency telephone number is 111. The 111 emergency service has its office in the hospital. *There are telephone boxes placed throughout the demes. The numbers 980 through 999 are reserved for them. They are identical to the English boxes. They are painted red, but the door and the window lattices are painted yellow. And of course, the word ‘’τιλέφων’’ instead of ‘’telephone’’ is printed above. *The international telephone code for the Monastic Republic is 386. Pronouns in Brithenig 7146 51091 2009-12-17T08:21:51Z - andrew 211 Created page with 'Pronouns have separate subject and object forms: ''eo'', I; ''mi'', me ''ty'', you; ''ti'', you ''ys'', he; ''llo'', him ''sa'', she; ''lla'', her ''nu'', we; ''nu'', us ''…' Pronouns have separate subject and object forms: ''eo'', I; ''mi'', me ''ty'', you; ''ti'', you ''ys'', he; ''llo'', him ''sa'', she; ''lla'', her ''nu'', we; ''nu'', us ''gw'', you; ''gw'', you ''ys'', they; ''llo'', them ''sa'', they; ''lla'', them Brithenig has two ways of saying you: ''ty'', 'thou', and ''gw'', 'you'. ''Ty'' is singular and used for addressing people that the speaker is familiar with, such as an immediate family member, a close friend, a child, an animal, or god. ''Gw'' is used as a singular when speaking to a stranger or a less familiar or more formal acquaintance. It is also used to address more than one person no matter the familiarity. Pronouns are subject to consonant mutation in the same way other words are. If ''ty'' or ''ti'' is mutated it is always written as ''dy'' to avoid confusion with the preposition ''di'', which has a different pronounciation. ''Fi'', the mutated form of mi, becomes '''i'' in the spoken language, especially after consonants. ''Sa'' is used to mean 'they' when 'they' is exclusively feminine. For 'it' use the form appropriate to the gender of the noun. The impersonal pronoun 'it' is always ''sa'': ''Sa es fel eidd'', It is nice today. There is a third person reflexive pronoun ''si'', 'himself, themselves (etc.)'; it is used as the object case with the indefinite subject, ''yno'', 'one', 'people', 'they', derived from ''yn of'', a man. The direct object form of the pronoun have the option of coming before or after a simple verb, but with a compound tense or an infinitive used in the sentence, it can only come after the past participle or the infinitive, to which it may be hyphenated. ''Mi, ti'' and ''si'' also have special disjunctive forms ''mui'' or ''fui'', ''tui'' or ''dui'' or ''thui'', and ''sui''. These are used after prepositions, after the conjunction ''ca'', than, or when a sentence uses two pronouns as objects: ''Eo widdef tui e llo in ill castr'', I saw you and him in town The disjunctive pronouns can also be emphatic, repeating the object pronoun: ''Eo dy af tui'', I love you!. Unlike English, subject pronouns and nouns always go in the order of first person (I, we), second person, (you), and third person (he, she, it, they). The verbusually agrees in number with the nearest subject: ''Eo e Badrig gwa a'll castr'', Patrick and I are going to town. Similar is the use of the third person dative pronoun ''lle'' in place of ''llo'' or ''lla'' after a preposition. By itself it means 'to him, her, it, them' and can come before the simple verb or after it like a direct object pronoun, but with a preposition it can only come after the verb. Possessive pronouns precede the noun. Feminine singular nouns take the soft mutation after possessive pronouns, and plural nouns take the spirant mutation, masculine singular nouns do not mutate after possessive pronouns: ''mew'', 'my' ''tew'', 'your' ''sew'', 'his, her, its' ''nustr'', 'our' ''gwstr'', 'your' ''sew'', 'their' ''Sew'' may refer to 'his, her, its or their'. To avoid ambiguity the phrase can be followed with the preposition ''di'' and ''llo'', ''lla'' to clarify the meaning. With other pronouns this is used to be an emphatic construction: ''mew gas'', my house ''mew gas di fui'', MY house The forms 'mine, yours, his (etc)' are translated into Brithenig as ''ill mew, lla/llo few'' (etc). ''Llo'', ''lla'' do not mutate, but other pronouns do. The indirect object is often written with a prepostion such as ''a'', to where the mutated forms are used: ''Ys dun yn llifr a fui'', He gives me (to me) a book. This is the usual order in Brithenig. Brithenig has one case of personal prepositions which are derived from ''cun-'', with: ''cumeg'', with me ''cunusc'', with us ''cunheg'', with you ''cungwsc'', with you ''cunseg'', with him, her, them, it Adjectives in Brithenig 7147 51093 2009-12-17T08:33:08Z - andrew 211 space out list Adjectives agree with their nouns in gender and number. Plural adjectives take the spirant mutation to agree with plural nouns. Feminine adjectives take the soft mutation when following feminine nouns. Adjectives tend to follow the noun. Only the adjectives ''bon,'' good, and ''mal,'' bad, can be used without any uncertainty before a noun. When an adjective precedes a noun it has a figurative rather than a literal meaning. This effects only a couple of adjectives: ''pobr,'' poor, has the meaning of `destitute' after the noun, but `unfortunate' when it comes before the noun. Likewise with ''gran,'' big, large, when it precedes the noun it means importance, not size: ''Yn gran of'' a great man ''Yn of gran'' a big man ''Yn gran ddiwrn'' a great day Note that the initial consonant undergoes softening after a preceding adjective. ''Sul'' can come before or after the noun with a difference in meanings. After the noun it means 'lonely', ''yn blenhin sul'', a lonely child. Before a noun, it means 'only', ''yn sul blenhin'', `an only child'. Brithenig can use an adjective as a noun by putting an article in front of it. It then refers to an object that has that quality: ''ill rhys'', the red one; ''llo phog'', the little ones. For a comparative of an adjective, Brithenig puts the words ''ply,'' more and ''min,'' less before an adjective, with the spirant mutation of the initial consonant of the following adjective. 'Than' is translated as ''ca'': ''ply h-allt ca yn gas'', taller than a house. The superlative is formed by putting the definate article suitable for the gender of the noun before the comparative adjective: ''ill ply h-allt'', the tallest. When a noun is qualified, the definate article goes in front of the noun, replacing ''yn'': ''lla gas bly h-allt'', the tallest house. It is omitted if the noun is proceeded by a possessive pronoun: ''ill llifr ci es sew ober feilwr di llo'' this book is his best work ''mew ffradr maer'' my older/oldest brother Following a superlative the preposition ''di'' is used: ''ill tyr ci es ill ply hallt di lla giwdad'' this tower is the tallest in the city If this is getting too complicated then the suffix ''-isaf,'' very can replace the superlative sometimes: '' lla giwdad ci es felisaf'' this city is very beautiful Certain adjectives are irregular: ''bon'' good ''myliwr'' better ''mal'' bad ''puir'' worse ''gran'' big ''maer'' bigger ''pog'' little ''min'' less ''mal'' badly ''pui'' worse (adverb) ''ben'' well ''myl'' better (adverb) The superlative form of these adjectives is the comparative form with the definate article, as per usual. Most adverbs are derived from adjectives by adding the ending -fent. In spoken Brithenig this is usually pronounced `fen' but the t is still written: ''bel,'' beautiful -> ''belfent,'' beautifully. Adverbs cause soft mutation on following words. Espanixo 7148 51106 2009-12-19T03:38:45Z DCliche 1352 moved [[Espanixo]] to [[Espanijo]]:&#32;Name of language changed due to changes in Grand Master Plan #REDIRECT [[Espanijo]] Verbs in Brithenig 7149 58771 2010-12-28T21:01:15Z - andrew 211 Conditional forms of esser and afer added Brithenig verb conjugations are supported by [Verbix|http://wiki.verbix.com/Languages/Brithenig] Verb endings change for person, number and tense. The infinitive is indicated with endings -ar, -er, -ir. The -r is usually left unpronounced. Brithenig verbs are divided into three conjugations according to which infinitive ending the verb takes: ''Canhar'' to sing ''Perdder'' to lose ''Dorfir'' to sleep In a sentence the infinitive is mutated more often than not due to the preposition ''a'' before the verb. The preposition is then dropped but the mutation is preserved. With auxiliaries the infinitive is unmutated. It is the unmutated form that is recorded in the lexicon. It used with other prepositions where English prefers to use '-ing': ''Eo wa per yn turn inawant gweddir a'll lleith'', I go for a walk before going to bed ''Dibos rher-mi eo bran'', After getting up I have breakfast It is also used to replace the past tense: ''Eo fi ref a ffôner-lla'', I got up and phoned her The preposition ''subr'', on, is translated as 'about to' before the infinitive: ''Eo er subr ffôner-gw'', I was about to phone you. The present indicative describes an action happening at the present time: {| |eo gant || eo berdd || eo ddorf |- | ty gant || ty berdd || ty ddorf |- | ys cant || ys perdd || ys dorf |- | sa gant || sa berdd || sa ddorf |- | nu chanhan || nu pherdden || nu ddorfen |- | gw chanhath || gw pherddeth || gw ddorfith |- | ys/sa chanhant || ys/sa pherddent || ys/sa ddorfent |} Brithenig distinguishes different endings to go with each person and and number. The singular forms are unmarked, ''-n'' goes with ''nu'', ''-nt'' goes with ''ys'' and ''sa'' when they are plural, and ''-th'' goes with ''gw''. The '-t' on the third person plural ending is silent, in the spoken language there is no difference between this and the ending of the first person plural verb. Also the initial consonant undergoes soft mutation in the singular verb (except after ''ys'') or spirant mutation in the plural verb. Just as standard English always indicates the third person singular with the ending -s (he carries), so these endings must also always be used in Brithenig. If an object pronoun is inserted before the verb, then the verb always undergoes mutation, soft before a singular pronoun, spirant before a plural pronoun. A verb is reflexive when when its subject and object are the same person: ''eo fi law'', I wash (myself); in Brithenig the object is not omitted. ''Llawarsi,'' to wash oneself: {| |eo fi law || nu nu lawan |- | ty dy law || gw 'w lawath |- | ys/sa si law || ys/sa si lawant |} In speech the first 'w' on ''gw 'w'' loses it vocalic quality and the combination is pronounced /gwu/. Sometimes 'myself', etc are used for emphasis and not as the object of a reflexive verb. In such cases it is translated as ''medissif'': ''Eo fedissif widd llo char'', I see the cars myself. Brithenig makes the present participle by replacing the infinitive ending with ''-n'': ''canhan'' singing ''perdden'' losing ''dorfin'' sleeping It forms a progressive tense with the verb ''ystar'', 'to stand': ''Eo yst canhan'': I am singing ''Ys ystafant dorfin'': they were sleeping The present participle can also be an adjective: ''ill of dorfin'', the sleeping man ''Lla ffuin ganhan'', the singing woman The Latin gerund ending in ''-nt'', still exists in a handful of words in Brithenig that are used as adjectives and nouns, such as ''afent'', wealthy, and ''president'', president. But the survival of these is an historic feature and not a productive one, in Brithenig the present participle has taken over the role of the gerund. The past participle has the ending ''-d'': ''canhad'' sung ''perdded'' lost ''dorfid'' slept Some past participles are irregular: ''ffaeth'', done, made, from ''ffâr'', to do, to make; ''dith'', said, from ''dîr'', to say; ''yscrith'', written, from ''yscrifer'', to write; ''duith'', led, from ''dûr'', to lead; ''gwist'', seen, from ''gwidder'', to see; ''rhuth'', broken, from ''rhumher'', to break; ''clos'', closed from ''clodder'', to close; ''morth'', dead from morir, to die. The forms of the imperfect are: {| | eo ganhaf || eo berddef || eo ddorfif |- | ty ganhaf || ty berddef || ty ddorfif |- | ys canhaf || ys perddef || ys dorfif |- || sa ganhaf || sa berddef || sa ddorfif |- | nu chanafan || nu pherddefan || nu ddorfifan |- | gw chanafath || gw pherddefath || gw ddorfifath |- | ys/sa chanafant || ys/sa pherddefant || ys/sa ddorfifant |} The imperfect is used to describe an action that happened in the past that is not concluded at this point due to it being an ongoing action, an interpreted action or an habitual action. So ''Eo ganhaf'' can be interpreted as either 'I sang', 'I was singing', or 'I used to sing'. 'I was singing' can also be translated as ''eo ystaf canhan''. Remember that the final ''-f'' on the singular verb is silent. The past definite describes a completed and unrepeatable action that happened in the past. Some verb endings have been lost and replaced with the imperfect, or with a compound past tense: {| |eo ganhaf || eo berddef || eo ddorfif |- | ty ganhast || ty berddest || ty ddorfist |- | ys canhaf || ys perddef || ys dorfif |- | sa ganhaf || sa berddef || sa ddorfif |- | nu chanafan || nu pherddefan || nu ddorfifan |- | gw chanhast || gw pherddest || gw ddorfist |- | ys/sa channarent || ys/sa pherdderent || ys/sa ddorfirent |} The past definate is used particularly to describe an historical event; or in connection with a temporal adverb or adverbial phrase; or a `when' phrase; or a conclusive and final action. There are a small number of verbs where the past definate is irregular, one such verb is ''dîr'', to say: {| | eo ddis || nu ddisen |- | ty ddisist || gw ddisist |- | ys dis/sa ddis || ys/sa ddisirent |} Other irregular verbs are: ''Clos'' from ''clodder'', to close; ''Compruis'' from ''comprêner'', to understand; ''Cyrs'' from ''cyrrir'', to run; ''Duis'' from ''dûr'', to lead; ''Lleis'' from ''lleir'', to read; ''Mis'' from ''mither'', to send; ''Tens'' from ''tener'', to stretch. The future tense is translated 'I will' or 'I shall'. It is formed by adding the endings ''-ai, -a, -a, -an, -ath, -ant'' to the infinitive. All Brithenig verbs use these endings in the future tense: {| | eo ganarai || eo berdderai || eo ddorfirai |- | ty ganara || ty berddera || ty ddorfira |- | ys canara || ys perddera || ys dorfira |- | sa ganara || sa berddera || sa ddorfira |- | nu chanaran || nu pherdderan || nu ddorfiran |- | gw chanarath || gw pherdderath || gw ddorfirath |- | ys/sa chanarant || ys/sa pherdderant || ys/sa ddorfirant |} For the immediate future tense Brithenig can use ''gweddir'', go, with the infinitive tense of the verb: ''Eo wa wenir cungwsc'', I am going to come with you. The conditional tense translates to mean 'might', 'could', 'would' or 'should'. It is formed by adding a ''-ew'' ending to the infinitive: {| | eo ganarew || eo berdderew || eo ddorfirew |- | ty ganarew || ty berdderew || ty ddorfirew |- | ys canarew || ys perdderew || ys dorfirew |- | sa ganarew || sa berdderew || sa ddorfirew |- | nu chanarewn || nu pherdderewn || nu ddorfirewn |- | gw chanarewth || gw pherdderewth || gw ddorfirewth |- | ys/sa chanarewnt || ys/sa pherdderewnt || ys/sa ddorfirewnt |} The conditional is used to indicate a future tense to a past action. It is used in indirect speech after a verb used to communicate ideas: ''Ys yscrifera yn garth'' He will write a letter ''Ys digef (ke) ys yscriferew yn garth'' He said that he would write a letter The conditional tense is also used in a sentence after an 'if' clause: ''Se eo w h-er, eo ffagerew rhen'' If I were you, I would not do it. ''Se eo ai gwist-llo, eo afrew parolad a lle'' If I had seen him, I would have spoken to him. If the second clause does not have the sense of an action not happening then another tense replaces the conditional: ''Se ys gwen eo barolarai a lle'' If he comes I will speak to him. The conditional is also used in describing non-specific repetative action in the past: ''I llo ddiwrn llâ nu h-amblarewn sempr a'll castr'', In those days we would always walk into town, or, In those days we always used to walk into town. The relative pronoun ''ke'', 'who, what, which, that' is often omitted in Brithenig, especially the spoken language. ''Ke'' is the most common form of the relative pronoun. The alternative ''ill cal'' is used to avoid ambiguity in a sentence. It is variable in gender and number and cannot be omitted. ''Ke'' is more often encountered in speech. 'Whose' can be translated by ''ke sew'' before the noun or by ''di'll cal'' after it. 'When' and 'where' are translated respectively as ''can'' and ''ill llog (ke)''. Brithenig uses disjunctive pronouns in dependent clauses: ''Lla garth (k') eo yscrifef lla'', The letter that I wrote ''Lla ffuin (k') eo barolaf cunseg'', The woman that I spoke with The subjunctive tenses are no longer productive in modern Brithenig. They only survive in proverbial phrases such as: '' Can in Rhufein, ffâ si llo Rhufan ffeigant'', When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There are two subjunctive tenses, past and present. The present tense is distinctive that it includes i-mutation in all three conjunctions, if only partially in the -ar conjunction. A, e, and o in the stem become ei, u becomes y, and aw, when it occurs, becomes ew; i is unaffected. The vowels in the ending also change, for -er and -ir verbs it becomes a, while for -ar verbs it becomes e. {| | eo gant || eo beirdd || eo ddeirf |- | ty gant || ty beirdd || ty ddeirf |- | ys cant || ys peidd || ys deirf |- | sa gant || sa beirdd || sa ddeirf |- | nu cheinhen || nu pheirddan || nu ddeirfan |- | gw cheinheth || gw pheirddath || gw ddeirfath |- | ys/sa chanhent || ys/sa pheirddant || ys/sa ddeirfant |} The past subjunctive is simpler and is made by infixing -ss(e) between the normal stem and the ending: {| | eo ganhas || eo berddes || eo ddorfis |- | ty ganhas || ty berddes || ty ddorfis |- | ys canhas || ys perddes || ys dorfis |- | sa ganhas || sa berddes || sa dorfis |- | nu chanassen || nu pherddessen || nu ddorfissen |- | gw chanasseth || gw pherddesseth || gw ddorfisseth |- | ys/sa chanassent || ys/sa pherddessent || ys/sa ddorfissent |} Compound tenses are made with two new verbs, ''esser'', to be, and ''afer'', to have. They are irregular and do not conform to the three conjugations that have been given so far. Present tense: {| | eo su || nu sun || eo ai || nu hafen |- | ty es || gw h-es || ty a || gw h-afeth |- | ys/sa es || ys/sa sunt || ys/s' a || ys/sa h-ant |} Participles: {| | Present: || Past: |- | essen || ystad (from ''ystar'', to stand) |- | afen || afyd |} Imperfect: {| | eo er || nu h-eran || eo afef || nu h-afefan |- | ty er || gw h-erath || ty afef || gw h-afefath |- | ys/sa er || ys/sa h-erant || ys/s' afef || ys/sa h-afefant |} Past Definite: {| | eo ffew || nu ffewn || eo afew || nu h-afewn |- | ty ffewst || gw ffewth || ty afewst || gw h-afewth |- | ys/sa ffew || ys/sa ffewrent || ys/sa afew || ys/sa h-afewrent |} Future: {| | eo serai || nu seran || eo afrai || nu h-afran |- | ty sera || gw serath || ty afra || nu h-afrath |- | ys/sa sera || ys/sa serant || ys/sa afra || ys/sa h-afrant |} Conditional: {| | eo serew || nu serewn || eo afrew || nu h-afrewn |- | ty serew || gw serewth || eo afrew || gw h-afrewth |- | ys/sa serew || ys/sa serewnt || ys/sa afrew || ys/sa h-afrewnt |} Present Subjunctive: {| | eo sia || nu sian || eo ai || nu h-aian |- | ty sia || gw siath || ty ai || gw h-aiath |- | ys/sa sia || ys/sa siant || ys/sa ai || ys/sa h-aiant |} ''Sia'' is pronounced as 'sha' in the present subjunctive of 'to be'. Past Subjunctive: {| |- | eo ffews || nu ffewssen || eo afews || nu h-afewssen |- | ty ffews || gw ffewsseth || ty afews || gw h-afewsseth |- | ys/sa ffews || ys/sa ffewssent || ys/sa afews || ys/sa h-afewssent |} ''Gweddir'', to go is irregular in the present tense: {| | eo wa || nu wan |- | ty wa || gw wath |- | ys gwa/sa wa || ys/sa want |} Otherwise the verb is regular and uses the longer stem. The word for 'not' is ''rhen''. It comes after the verb phrase: ''eo su rhen'', I am not With verbs beginning with p, t, c, b, d, g, the nasal mutation is used on all verbs beginning with these letters when they are followed by a negative adverb: ''Eo nghant rhen'', I do not sing. ''Gw mherddefan rhe''n, you did not lose. ''Ys norfira rhen'', he will not sleep. Similar to rhen is ''nonc'', never. In questions 'ever' is translated as ''nonc'': ''E'gw ystad nonc ci inawant?'' Have you ever been here before? ''No, eo su ystad nonc ci inawant'', No, I have never been here before. Rhen is also used before nouns, ''rhen llaeth'', `no milk'. 'There is' or 'there are' is ''sa es'': ''Sa es yn char'', There are some cars. When an object follows a negative verb then the preposition ''di'' is inserted between the verb and the following noun. Literally this would be translated as 'none of': ''Sa es rhen di yn char'', There aren't any cars. Questions in Brithenig 7150 51135 2009-12-24T05:12:36Z - andrew 211 Questions are formed by changing the word order of the subject and the verb: ''Gw pharolath Brithenig'', You speak Brithenig. ''Parola'gw Frithenig?'', Do you speak Brithenig Note the change in sentence order causes softening to occur on following words. Also the -th ending on the verb has been elided. When the subject is a noun it remains before the verb but the equivilent pronoun is placed after the verb: ''Ill car es llâ'', the car is there ''Ill car es-ys llâ?'', is the car there? Brithenig has a set of question words similar to English: ''Ki?'', who? ''Di ghi?'', whose? ''Ke?'', which? ''Ke gos?'', what? ''K'log?'', where? ''A g'log?'', to where? ''Di g'log''?, from where? ''Co?'', how, what kind of? ''Cant?'', how much, how many? ''Ke sig?'', how? ''Ke dem?'', when? ''Perch?'', why? Question words come at the beginning of sentences, except for ''di ghi'': ''Ke gar es-o?'', Which car is that? ''Ill car di ghi es-o?'', Whose car is that? ''Co'' and ''ke'' replace the article and cause softening. Other question words which act adverbially cause following verbs to soften. ''Ke sig?'' is used with adjectives: ''Ke si wirdd er gwstr cum?'', How green was your valley? In answering the word order is retained with the question word replaced: ''Ke gos es gwstr nôn? - Rhaifun eo aphell'', `What is your name? - I am called Ray'. Brithenig speakers can put the interrogative tag ''es-sa rhen'', isn't it? at the end of sentences. The tense of the verb and the number and gender of the pronoun may change, but, unlike English, the negative ''rhen'' is not dropped: ''Gw h-aphellath Padrig, es-ys rhen?'', Your name is Patrick, is it not? ''Ty fi nglafaf rhen, er-ty rhen?'', You didn't call me, did you? Commands in Brithenig 7151 51137 2009-12-24T05:15:33Z - andrew 211 The most common form of making a command, that learners will encounter, is to add -th to the verb; ''Gwenith per yn turn'', Come for a walk. The familiar form of the command drops the ending along with the final vowel; ''Llaes mi sulfent'', Leave me alone. Brithenig speakers use the familiar form of the command among themselves as a form of in-group solidarity. The use of the formal command implies including outsiders (such as the Saxons or the Kerno) Some imperative forms are irregular, being derived from a subjunctive tense which is no longer used in the spoken language: ''Esser'', to be, ''siath, sia'' (pronounced 'shath, sha') ''Gwoler'', to wish, ''gwolath, gwol'' ''Afer'', to have, ''aiath, ai'' ''Saber'', to know, ''seibath, seib'' Three verbs have very curt familiar forms: ''Dîr'', to say, ''digeth, dî'' ''Dûr'', to lead, ''dugeth, dû'' ''Ffâr'', to make, to do, ''ffageth, ffâ'' The replacement of a blunt imperative with ''ffâr'' is considered polite: ''Ffageth (a) wenir per yn turn'', Do come for a walk ''Ffagewth (a) wenir per yn turn'', Would you come for a walk The verb ''calfar'', to stop, cease, is used to mean 'don't': ''Calfath (a) wedder'', Don't go. ''Calfath (a) weisar'', Never mind ''Gwan'' from ''gweddir'', to go is used before another verb to mean 'let's'. On its own it means `let's go'. And always say: ''Se ddeġ a'w'', Please; and ''Greid'', Thank you; and ''Sa es nyll'', You're welcome, it's nothing. Brithenig speakers value courtesy and these little words will help to keep a learner in good standing every time he or she uses them. 'Mr' is ''ill maistr'', 'Mrs, Miss' is ''lla faistres''. The article is omitted when addressing someone by name. ''Maistr'' and ''maistres'' are also used for sir and madam. Usually in the vocative form with the consonant softened: ''Faistr'', Sir! Mister!

''Yn'' causes feminine nouns to soften; ''dew, trui and sei'' cause following nouns to undergo spirant mutation; other numbers come before nouns without causing mutation. When the noun following ''dew'' and ''trui'' is a feminine collective of a masculine noun (see above under nouns) then the noun undergoes soft mutation rather than spirant mutation. Before a noun ''cinc, gweint'' and ''cent'' become ''cin, gwein'' and ''cen''. The noun being counted is always singular. Big numbers are put before nouns in two different ways: ''yn of e chinniġ'', sixteen men ''yn e chinniġ di llo h-of'', sixteen (of the) men Ordinal numbers exist for one to ten: {| | 1st || prif || 6th || seist |- | 2nd || segun || 7th || sethif |- | 3rd || terth || 8th || oethif |- | 4th || carth || 9th || noef |- | 5th || kint || 10th || degif |} In shorthand these are reduced to the number and the last two letters of the ordinal spelling. 'Once, twice, three times' are made with using the cardinal number with the noun gweġ: yn weġ, dew weġ, trui weġ, cathr gweġ.

C Christmas in the MR 7156 54743 2010-06-29T20:16:34Z Caeruleancentaur 11 Corrections. Both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are national holidays in the Monastic Republic. If Christmas falls on a Sunday, then the day after Christmas is also a national holiday. Of course, the schools are closed until January 2nd. The Christmas customs in the MR can be described as of Lebanese origin, of Greek origin, or of a communal nature. *Home celebrations **Lebanese ***About two weeks before Christmas, the people plant seeds of chickpeas, wheat grains, beans and lentils in cotton wool. The seeds are watered every day and by Christmas, they usually have shoots that are as high as six inches. These shoots are then used to surround the manger in the Nativity scenes. Although the figures in the scene can be beautiful works of art made from wood, ivory, stone, porcelain, etc., often times they are made simply from brown paper. A star is suspended over the scene of Christ's birth. The Christmas tree has not been popularized in the Monastic Republic, partly because of the ban on harvesting trees and partly because the Nativity scene is felt to confer a blessing on the family. ***Christmas Eve is the last day of the Advent fast. After a simple meal, the family open their presents. Then most of the people go to bed to be ready for the midnight festivities. ***Those who are able attend midnight Mass, celebrated by the abbot of St. Maroun Monastery or his delegate. ***Christmas day is a day for visiting friends, both Lebanese and Greek. Coffee, liqueurs (the Monastic Republic’s famous citrus-flavored and chestnut liqueurs) and sugared almonds are served to the guests. ***Mid-afternoon is the time for the festive Christmas meal. Most often a family is gathered at the home of the eldest living member of the family, a grandparent or an eldest son. ***The traditional Christmas dishes are chicken, rice and ''kubbeh'', a delicacy prepared from crushed bulgur wheat mixed with chevon, onion, salt and pepper. Dessert is the traditional ''Bûche de Noël'', a French Christmas cake decorated to look like a yule log. ***If a child, boy or girl, has been born into the family during the season of Advent, a pudding called ''mughly'' is made. It is made of rice flour, caraway, sugar and other spices, put into small dishes, and topped with raisins and crushed nuts. This pudding is served to the family at the Christmas meal, as well as to visitors who come visiting during the morning visits. ***After dark on both Christmas Day and the Feast of the Epiphany, the family gathers around the Nativity scene to pray the rosary. **Greek ***A period of fasting lasts from the First Sunday of Advent to Christmas Eve, when no meat, fish, eggs or dairy products are eaten. ***The main symbol of the season is a shallow wooden bowl with a piece of wire suspended across the rim. From that hangs a sprig of basil wrapped around a wooden cross. A small amount of water is kept in the bowl to keep the basil alive and fresh. Once a day, a family member, usually the mother, dips the cross and basil into some holy water and uses it to sprinkle water in each room of the house. This ritual is believed to keep the <font color=blue>κιλαντζάρι</font>, ''kilantzari'', (bad spirits) away. There are a number of beliefs connected with these spirits, which are a species of goblins who appear only during the twelve-day period from Christmas to the Epiphany (January 6). ***Mid-afternoon is the time for the festive Christmas meal. Most often a family is gathered at the home of eldest living member of the family, a grandparent or an eldest son. *** The main attraction of the meal is cabrito or chevon roasted in ovens or on spits. On the table are loaves of <font color=blue>χριςτοψώμ</font>, ''christopsom'', (“Christ bread”). This bread is made in large sweet loaves of various shapes. The crusts are engraved and decorated in some way that reflects the family's profession(s). ***On the day after Christmas, the children travel from house to house offering good wishes and singing <font color=blue>ĸάλαντι</font>, kalandi, the equivalent of Christmas carols, accompanying themselves with small metal triangles and little clay drums. Afterwards, the children are usually given sweets or coins in appreciation. Several times during the Christmas season, the children visit the hospital and the nursing home to sing <font color=blue>ĸάλαντι</font>. ***Gifts are exchanged on St. Basil's Day (January 1). On this day the "renewal of waters" takes place, a ritual in which any containers of water in the house are emptied and refilled with fresh water, the new "St. Basil's Water." *Public celebrations **There are no street light poles in the MR. Each residence and business has a lamp attached to the front wall of the house/business. From these decorated evergreen wreaths are hung on the First Sunday of Advent. They are taken down after the Feast of the Epiphany. **At midnight the bells of the two churches are rung for five minutes. **After midnight Mass has ended, a large bonfire is lit in the public square, weather permitting. Men from the demes, with the permission of the Holy Synod, have gone into the forest and gathered up the deadfall. Each year the deadfall is taken from the land of a different monastery. The Archimandrite is present to light the Christmas bonfire. Since he cannot be at the bonfires of the three demes at one time, he delegates others to light two of the bonfires, he himself rotating his presence from year to year. **After the bonfire is lit, there is singing and dancing. Special dances called ''dabkeh'' are danced with the men and women, boys and girls holding hands in semi-circles and dancing to special music. Those dancing wear special colorful clothes and head covers. **After about two hours of singing and dancing and telling stories, dancers from the Mt. Athos Dance Troupe dance for the assembled people. **When the dancers have finished the performance, the people go home to rest up for the activities of Christmas Day. **Merry Christmas in Arabic: ''Mīlād Majīd'', ‘Glorious Birth.’ **Merry Christmas in Greek: <font color=blue>Καλά Χριστούγεννα</font>, Kalá Christoúgenna, or, in Athonite: <font color=blue>Καλ Χριςτούγεν</font>, Kal Christoúgen. **Happy New Year in Greek: <font color=blue>Καλή Χρονιά</font>, Kalí Chroniá, or, in Athonite: <font color=blue>Καλ Xρoνí</font>, Kal Chroní. **During the Christmas holiday, which lasts from December 24 until January 6, it is customary to wish "<font color=blue>Χρόνια Πολλά</font>, Chrónia Pollá (many years)" to those you meet. In Athonite that is <font color=blue>Πολ Χρόνι</font>, Pol Chróni. So, if you meet someone in the morning, the proper way to greet him is: <font color=blue>Καλιμέρ, Πολ Χρονί</font>, Kalimér, Pol Chróni! (Good morning, many years). **Happy New Year in Arabic: ''Kul 'am wa ant-a (-um) bikhair''.

Sie wurde von dem Linguisten Dr. Paul Frommer für diesen Film erfunden. ==Aussprache== Das Apostroph ' ist ein Stimmabsatz wie im Deutschen zwischen den zwei e des Wortes beeilen. Das y wird wie j gesprochen, und das ì ist so etwas wie ein kurzes i. Das w wird wie ein englisches w gesprochen, das v mehr wie ein deutsches w wie in Wasser. Das z wird wie stimmhaftes s in Rose, und s wird stimmlos wie in Essen gesprochen. Bei tx, kx, px wird der Anfangslaut mit viel Druck ausgesprochen, dann folgt eine kurze Pause und erst dann beginnt der Vokal mit einem Knacklaut. Das bedeutet, das x selber bezeichnet nur diese ejektive Aussprache, hat aber selber keinen Lautwert. In manchen Fällen wird die Betonung durch einen Akzent über dem Vokal angezeigt (dies geht aber beim ä und beim ì nicht). ==Wichtige Ausdrücke== <pre> Hallo = kaltxì Tschüss = kìyevame Danke = irayo Bitte = rutxe </pre> ==Persönliche Fürwörter== {| class="wikitable" |- ! Pronomen !! Singular !! Dual !! Plural |- | [[ich/wir]] || oe || moe || ayoe |- | [[wir alle]] || - || oeng || ayoeng |- | [[du/ihr]] || nga || - || aynga |- | [[er/sie/es]] || po || mefo || ayfo |} Singular ist die Einzahl, also oe=ich, nga=du, po=er/sie/es. Der Dual ist die Form für zwei, also moe=wir zwei, oeng=ich und du, mefo=sie beide. Der Plural steht für die Mehrzahl. Daneben soll es in Na'vi auch einen Trial geben, der für 3 Dinge oder Lebewesen derselben Art verwendet wird. Bei wir unterscheidet man, ob der Angesprochene mit eingeschlossen ist (in der Tabelle: wir alle), oder ob er nicht mit gemeint ist (in der Tabelle: ich/wir). Feierliche/höfliche Formen: Ich = ohe, du = ngenga Besitzanzeigende Formen: Sie werden aus der Pronomen mit der Endung yä für den Genitiv gebildet, z.B. * mein = oeyä * dein = ngeyä * sein/ihr = peyä * unser = ayoeyä * euer = ayngayä * ihr = ayfoyä ==Geschlecht== * Männliche Endung = -an * Weibliche Endung = -é (diese ist betont) Beispiel: * tsmúkan = Bruder * tsmuké = Schwester Das Pronomen der dritten Person (po) kann für er,sie,es verwendet werden. Nur wenn es betont werden soll, kann aber das Geschlecht mit einer zusätzlichen Endung angegeben werden: * Er = poan = po + an (männlich) * Sie = poé = po + é (weiblich) ==Mehrzahl== * Vorsilbe me- wenn es sich um zwei handelt (Dual) * Vorsilbe ay- bei vielen (Plural) Beispiel: * nari (Auge) -> menari (zwei Augen), aynari (viele Augen) * taronyu (Jäger) -> metaronyu (zwei Jäger), aysaronyu (viele Jäger) Bei Verwendung der Vorsilbe ay- ist zu beachten, dass sich der folgende Anfangslaut verändern kann. Dies nennt man Erweichung. ==Erweichung (Lenition)== In Wörtern, die erweicht werden, kann die Mehrzahlkennzeichnung wegfallen. tokx (Körper) -> Mehrzahl = aysokx oder sokx {| class="wikitable" |- !

Sie werden mit einem a zwischen Hauptwort und dem Eigenschaftswort verbunden. <pre> ngim-a kilvan lang-Attr Fluss der lange Fluss = ein langer Fluss kilvan-a ngim Fluss-Attr lang der lange Fluss </pre> Die Silbe a- wird nur vor oder nach Hauptwörtern verwendet. ==Verben== Die Verben (Tätigkeitswörter) werden je nach Zeit verändert, nicht aber nach der Person. Die Zeiten sind Vergangenheit, nahe Vergangenheit, Gegenwart (nicht markiert), Zukunft und nahe Zukunft. Es gibt zwei Stellungen für diese eingeschobenen Silben: nach den ersten Konsonanten der vorletzten Silbe, und nach den Konsonanten der letzten Silbe. '''Zeiten:''' * taron = jagt * t-ìm-aron = hat gerade gejagt * t-ay-aron = wird jagen * t-er-aron = ist am Jagen (Vorgang nicht beendet) * t-ol-aron = hat gejagt (Vorgang beendet) * t-ìrm-aron = war gerade am Jagen Es gibt auch ev oder ov, die wohl für eine weiter entfernte Vergangenheit stehen. Die folgenden beiden Silben stehen im Verb noch vor dem Zeitmarker: * Partizip (-end) us * Reflexiv (sich) ìy '''Beispiele für Partizipien''' * rey leben * r-us-ey lebend * ke-rusey tot (nicht lebend) * tslam verstehen * tsl-us-am verstehend * txan-tslusam weise (viel verstehend) '''Beispiele für Reflexivformen''' * yur waschen * y-ìy-ur sich waschen * tspang töten * tsp-ìy-ang sich töten * pawm fragen * p-ìy-awm sich fragen '''Konjunktiv''' Eine Art Möglichkeitsform kann mit iv ausgedrückt werden: * takuk schlagen * t-iv-akuk soll schlagen <pre> oeri tìngayìl txe’lanit tivakuk oe-ri tì-ngay-ìl txe’lan-it t-iv-akuk ich-betont Abstrakt-wahr-Ergativ Herz-Akkusativ schlagen-Konjunktiv Die Wahrheit soll/möge mein Herz schlagen </pre> '''Stimmung:''' Die zweite Stelle nach den Anfangskonsonanten der letzten Silbe kann mit den folgenden Affekt-Einschüben besetzt werden: * ei = gerne, positive Stimmung * äng = ungerne, negative Stimmung * tar-ei-on = jagt gerne * tar-äng-on = jagt ungerne <pre> Oel ngati kam(ei)e. Ich sehe dich gerne. Oel ngati kam(äng)e. Ich sehe dich ungerne. </pre> == Das Verb "Sein"== Es gibt zwei Übersetzungen: * Mit Substantiven oder Adjektiven: lu * Als Ortsangabe oder Existenz: tok '''Beispiele''' * oe-ri toktor lu. * ich-betont Doktor sein. * Ich bin Arzt. * oe-ri mì na'ring tok. * ich-betont in Wald befinden. * Ich bin im Wald. * sempul mì kelku tok. * Vater in Haus sein. * Der Vater ist zu Hause. * txop som lu. * Feuer heiß sein. * Das Feuer ist heiß. * txop-a som = som-a txop * das heiße Feuer ==Fragen/Antworten== * peú,'úpe was ** fi'u dies ** tsa'u das * pesu,tupe wer ** tsatu diese (Person) * peyfa,fyape wie (Art) ** fifya so * pehem,kempe wie (Aktion) * pehrr,krrpe wann ** tsakrr dann * pelun,lumpe warum * peseng,tsengpe wo ** fitseng(e) hier ** tsatseng dort '''Hinweis''' Ja-Nein-Fragen enden mit einem gesprochenen Fragezeichen srak? ==Zahlen== Das Zahlensystem basiert auf der 8, da die Na'vi 4 Finger an jeder Hand haben. 'aw 1, mune 2, tsìng 4, vofu 16, tsìvol 32. Es scheint, dass die Wurzel für 4 tsì und die für 8 vol ist. In einem anderen Beitrag habe ich die Zahl 7 kinä entdeckt. ==Syntax== Die Wortstellung ist ziemlich frei, das heißt, die Satzteile Subjekt (S), Verb (V) und Objekt (O) können in jeder Reihenfolge stehen: SVO, SOV, OVS, OSV, VSO, VOS. Auch die Stellung von Hauptwort und Ergänzungen (Adjektiv=Eigenschaftswort, Genitivattribut=Besitzer, Relativsatz) ist frei, wobei aber zwischen Hauptwort und Eigenschaftswort ein a steht. Die Verneinung wird mit ke gebildet, das vor dem entsprechenden Wort oder Satzteil steht. Bei Verben gibt es noch den Ausdruck rä'ä, der vor Verben einem Verbot entspricht (englisch do not). Entscheidungsfragen enden mit srak, Ausrufe können mit nang markiert werden. Die oben Präpositionen genannten Verhältniswörter können vor oder nach dem Hauptwort stehen. Vorangestellt bewirken einige von ihnen die Erweichung des Anfangsbuchstaben, z.B. mì (in). Wenn sie nach dem Hauptwort verwendet werden, dann verbinden sie sich zu einem Wort mit ihm, z.B. hu nga (mit dir) = ngahu. Der Fallmarker -ri hebt das entsprechende Hauptwort hervor. Dieses steht dann meist am Satzanfang und hat keine weiteren Fallmarkierungen. Die Reihenfolge der Bestandteile eines Hauptwortes ist: Präposition Zahl-Stamm-Geschlecht-Fall. Hierbei kann das Hauptwort entweder eine Präposition oder eine Fallmarkierung haben, aber nicht beides gleichzeitig.

Adjectives come after nouns. There are three genders: feminine, masculine, and neuter. There are three singular definite articles: for feminine, lie, for masculine, ler, and for neuter, las. There is one plural definite article: lie. There are two singular indefinite articles: for feminine, une, and for masculine and neuter, un. There is one plural indefinite article: unige. The plural markers for feminine, masculine, and neuter nouns are -en, -er, and -e, respectively. Masculine nouns also gain an umlaut above their final vowel (with resultant pronunciation changes), unless that vowel is E or I. The genitive case is marked with the suffix -de (a cognate of French/Spanish/Portuguese de and Italian di). The loctive case is marked with the suffix -an. The accusative case is marked by word order; only the pronouns have accusative-case marking. The infinitive of a verb has -en at the end, as does the imperative. Here are the (unfinished) verb ending tables; the ordinal number refers to person, the endings are in Theadisch orthography (as opposed to a phonemic transcription), and the first is singular and the second plural (the only reason they're not labeled is due to what seems to be a glitch in MediaWiki): <table border title="Singular"> <tr> <td></td> <td>'''First'''</td> <td>'''Second'''</td> <td>'''Third'''</td> </tr> <tr> <td>'''Present'''</td> <td>-e</td> <td>-en</td> <td>-te</td> </tr> <tr> <td>'''Imperfect'''</td> <td>-wi</td> <td>-sti</td> <td>-wit</td> </tr> <tr> <td>'''Future'''</td> <td>-po</td> <td>-pis</td> <td>-pit</td> </tr> <table border title="Plural"> <tr> <td></td> <td>'''First'''</td> <td>'''Second'''</td> <td>'''Third'''</td> </tr> <tr> <td>'''Present'''</td> <td>-en</td> <td>-tis</td> <td>-en</td> </tr> <tr> <td>'''Imperfect'''</td> <td>-en</td> <td>-is</td> <td>-en</td> </tr> <tr> <td>'''Future'''</td> <td>-en</td> <td>-tis</td> <td>-en</td> </tr> Novizhik 7163 51220 2010-01-03T01:00:35Z Twenex 727 /* Introduction */ =Introduction= Novizik is a language which is strikingly similar to Russian: It has hard and soft (palatalised) consonants and a full set of fricatives. ==Phonology== {| !IPA||Letter |- |a||{{IPA|a}} |- |æ||{{IPA|æ}} |- |b||{{IPA|b}} |- |c||{{IPA|t͡s}} |- |č||{{IPA|t͡ʃ}} |- |d||{{IPA|d}} |- |e||{{IPA|e}} |- |f||{{IPA|f}} |- |g||{{IPA|g}} |- |h||{{IPA|h}} |- |ı||{{IPA|ɨ}} |- |i||{{IPA|i}} |- |j||{{IPA|j}} |- |k||{{IPA|k}} |- |l||{{IPA|l}} |- |m||{{IPA|m}} |- |n||{{IPA|n}} |- |o||{{IPA|o}} |- |p||{{IPA|p}} |- |r||{{IPA|r}} |- |s||{{IPA|s}} |- |š||{{IPA|ʃ}} |- |šč||{{IPA|ʃ◌͡ |t||{{IPA|t}} |- |u||{{IPA|u}} |- |v||{{IPA|v}} |- |x||{{IPA|x}} |- |z||{{IPA|z}} | |} Novizik 7164 51219 2010-01-03T00:59:03Z Twenex 727 moved [[Novizik]] to [[Novizhik]]:&#32;Changed name of language to "Novizhik". #REDIRECT [[Novizhik]] Seuna verbs (1) 7165 51226 2010-01-03T10:33:48Z Staigard 752 Created page with 'In finite form, the verb can have upto five slots after the main word.

These slots are for subject, mood, negation and tense. A fifth slot, which gives evidential information is also often tagged on. ==Subject suffix== The subject slot is filled as follows ;- {| border=1 |align=center| I |align=center| -'''a'''- |align=center| we(exc.) |align=center| -'''au'''- |- |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| we(inc.) |align=center| -'''ai'''- |- |align=center| you |align=center| -'''i'''- |align=center| you(pl.) |align=center| -'''e'''- |- |align=center| he/she |align=center| -'''o'''- |align=center| they |align=center| -'''u'''- |} ==Mood suffix== The mood slot is filled as follows ;- {| border=1 |align=center| indicative |align=center| -'''r'''- |- |align=center| subjunctive |align=center| -'''s'''- |- |align=center| conditional (hypothetical) |align=center| -'''mo''' |- |align=center| conditional (counterfactual) |align=center| -'''mi''' |- |align=center| imperative |align=center| -'''ya''' |} ===The imperative mood=== When the imperative is used there is no tense suffix. Also it is used only with the two second person subject suffixes. So for example;- {| border=1 |align=center| to hit |align=center| '''timpa''' |- |align=center| Hit him/her. |align=center| '''timpiya na''' |- |align=center| Hit him/her(spoken to more than one person). |align=center| '''timpeya na''' |} For the negative imperative we use the particle '''kya''' and the verb in its recitation form. For example ;- {| border=1 |align=center| Don't hit him/her. |align=center| '''kya timpa na''' |} Notice that in the negative form, the single/plural distinction is lost. ===The conditional moods=== {| border=1 |align=center| if you hit him, I will hit you |align=center| '''timpimo na, timpamo yu''' |- |align=center| if you had hit him, I would have hit you |align=center| '''timpimi na, timpami yu''' |} {| border=1 |align=center| if you hit him, I will not hit you |align=center| '''timpimo na, timpampu yu''' |- |align=center| if you had hit him, I would not have hit you |align=center| '''timpimi na, timpampe yu''' |} Usually verbs with the conditional moods come in pairs. Sometimes, however you get a conditional verb by itself in a sentence that expresses the wishes of the speaker. '''amo''' "millionaire" = if only I was rich '''omo miho''' = Would that she be mine Perhaps one way to understand the above to examples, is that there is an unstated, second part to the sentence meaning "I would be content/happy" ===The subjuntive mood=== ====Subjunctive form==== The subjunctive have the subject slot filled and then an '''s'''. ====Subjunctive "reason"==== I have called this mood the subjunctive because its use is similar to the subjunctives. The "reason" why Seuna has this mood, is that it is disallowed to have redundant tense/aspect information in a sentence. If the tense/aspect of a sentence has been given already by a verb in the indicative mood, then any verb in a later subordinate sentence is given the subjunctive mood (it is mandatory for the indicative form to show tense/aspect) I will stand up and let you sit. Also Seuna strongly dislikes redundant person/number information. It is mandatory for the subjunctive form to show person/number. For this reason the second verb in a sentence will often be reduced further to its infinitive form (or nominative form ... actually I like the Arabic term "maSdar" which means source, it seems appropriate for the Seuna infinitive form) The English eat to live : the French live to eat. ====Subjunctive examples==== Although the subjunctive usually appears on sentence-non-initial verbs. In one function it can appear on the first verb of a sentence. '''donais''' = Lets walk Probably in this "hortative" function the 1.pl.inc person/number is the one most frequently encountered. However all the person/number forms can occur. For the second person these come across as a mild imperative (the second person having a dedicated imperative form). '''doniya''' = walk! '''donis''' = why don't you walk In the first person singular form, this function of the subjunctive form is often used when sort of talking to yourself ... as in English "Let me see" ====Negative subjunctive==== For the negative subjunctive we suffix '''ka'''. '''timpaska na''' = In order that I do not hit him ===The indicative mood=== Note that the subjunctive mood takes no tense suffixes and no evidential suffixes. Also imperative mood has no tense suffixes and no evidential suffixes and its personal pronoun suffixes are severely trunkated. ====Tense suffixes==== The tense slot is filled as follows ;- {| border=1 |align=center| general |align=center| -'''o''' |- |align=center| past |align=center| -'''i''' |- |align=center| present |align=center| -'''e''' |- |align=center| future |align=center| -'''u''' |- |align=center| perfect |align=center| -'''a''' |- |align=center| past perfect |align=center| -'''ia''' |- |align=center| future perfect |align=center| -'''ua''' |} ====Evidential suffixes==== {| border=1 |align=center| reported |align=center| -'''n''' |- |align=center| inferred |align=center| -'''s''' |- |align=center| seen |align=center| -'''fe''' |} Evidentials are only used in main(independent clauses), with the indicative mood. The "seen" evidential is only used with the past tense suffix. None of the evidentials are obligatory. The reported and inferred seem to bring into doubt the reliability of the information somewhat. '''-n''' means inferred from evidence and is used in the situations in which we prefix or tag on "I guess" or "I think" to a clause in English. '''-s''' means and information asserted is got from some third party and is used where we might prefix "they say" to a clause in English. ==The reciprocal== For the reciprocal we place the particle '''gan''' immediately after the verb. ==Negation== '''solboru''' = he/she will drink '''solbortu''' = he/she will not drink The infinitive is negated by suffixing '''hu''' which by itself, means 'to lack'. '''hutimpa''' = to not hit ==Two epistemic particles== The two epistemic particles '''meu''' and '''loi''' take the same positions relative to the verb as '''ka'''. '''meu''' = "may" '''loi''' = "probably" == Antonyms == Some verbs that end with '''a''' have antonyms. For example;- '''tata''' = to tangle '''tatua''' = to untangle ==The copula== The forms of the copula are almost identical to the TAM markings. {| border=1 |align=center| I was |align=center| '''bari''' |align=center| we(exc.)were |align=center| '''bauri''' |- |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| we(inc.) were |align=center| '''bairi''' |- |align=center| you were |align=center| '''biri''' |align=center| you(lot) were |align=center| '''beri''' |- |align=center| he/she was |align=center| '''ri''' or '''bori''' |align=center| they are |align=center| '''buri''' |} Notice that the third person singular copula drops the '''o''' that occurs in the verb paradigm. The '''u''' of the third person singular can also be dropped if the subject has already been stated. It usually depends upon phonological factors. '''kaunu nan ro hau@e''' = her coat is beautiful '''kauneu wan buro hau@e''' = their coats are beautiful '''kauneu wan ro hau@e''' = their coats are beautiful You will notice that in the above table we demonstrated the copula system using the past tense. The reason that the past tense was used is that the present tense in English corresponds to two forms and two meanings in Seuna. The difference in meaning between the two forms, is the same as the difference between the two Spanish copulas “estar” and "ser". The "'''e'''" form being used for a less permanent state of affairs (similar to the use of "estar")and the "'''o'''" form being used for a more permanent state of affairs (similar to the use of "ser"). '''bare buke''' = I am sick '''baro buke''' = I am an invalid There is a set of negative copulas as given below;- {| border=1 |align=center| I wasn't |align=center| '''harti''' |align=center| we(exc.)weren't |align=center| '''haurti''' |- |align=center| |align=center| |align=center| we(inc.) weren't |align=center| '''hairti''' |- |align=center| you weren't |align=center| '''hirti''' |align=center| you(lot) weren't |align=center| '''herti''' |- |align=center| he/she wasn't |align=center| '''horti''' |align=center| they aren't |align=center| '''hurti''' |} As in Russian, if tense information is unimportant, two words can just stand together with no copula. '''mi moltai''' = I am a doctor ==Gerund constructions== In English we have what is called the 'gerund'. For example;- "Me hitting him is not on". In this example "Me hitting him" is sort of a noun. In Seuna there is only one verbal-noun. It is the 'base form' or 'recitation form' of the verb. It is also the infinitive. '''timpa mige nafi horto boi''' = "Me hitting him is not on" ==Verbs from nouns== Many nouns are also verbs in Seuna. The relationships between the verb and noun are quite varied. In the infinitive the verb can be seen to have a different form from the noun. However in non-infinitive forms no difference is apparent. For example :- {| border=1 |align=center| salt |align=center| '''kenko''' |- |align=center| to salt, to add salt |align=center| '''kenkilo''' |- |align=center| She salted the food |align=center| '''kenkori humpos''' |} ==Some key verbs== {| border=1 |align=center| to take |align=center| '''eu''' |- |align=center| to give |align=center| '''oi''' |- |align=center| to get, to receive, to become |align=center| '''dai''' |- |align=center| to have |align=center| '''su''' |} Note ... '''eu''' means "to pick up". To take an inanimate object (somewhere) would be "take (Object) go/come". To take a person (somewhere), one would use ???? which translates as "to lead". As well as being followed by nouns, these key words can also be complemented by adjectives and other verbs. For example ... 1) to take (Adjective) = to make oneself (Adjective) ....for example ....'''ewori aiho''' = She made herself ugly Short for '''take give ya aiho''' ?? 2) to give (Adjective) = to make someone (Adjective) ....for example ....'''oyori mi aiho''' = She made me ugly Short for '''oyori mi ya aiho''' ?? or make '''aiho''' = to uglify ?? 3) to get (Adjective) = to become (Adjective) ....for example ....'''dayori aiho''' = She became ugly 4) to have (Adjective) = to be (Adjective) ....for example ....'''swori aiho''' = She was ugly 5) to take (Verb) = to (Verb) yourself (i.e. this is the reflexive) .... for example .... '''ewori timpa''' = He hit himself 6) to give (Verb) = to allow someone to (Verb) .... for example .... '''oyori mi laudo''' = She allowed me to wash 7) to get (Verb) = to be (Verb) (i.e. this is the passive) .... for example .... '''dayori laudo''' = She was washed 8) to have (Verb) = to be under obligation to (Verb) .... for example .... '''swori laudo''' = She had to wash '''jene dayori laudo''' = Jane was washed (Not Jane is allowed to wash) '''jene dayore laudo''' = Jane is being washed '''jene dayora laudo''' = Jane has been washed *** '''jene dayoru laudo''' = Jane will be washed '''jene dayori mama laudo''' = Jane was washed by her mother '''jene dayore mama laudo''' = Jane is being washed by her mother '''jene dayoru mama laudo''' = Jane will be washed '''jene swori laudoi''' = Jane was washed '''jene swore laudoi''' = Jane is washed *** '''jene sworu laudoi''' = Jane will be washed '''jene lauda waulo''' = Jane has washed her dog '''jene laudia waulo''' = Jane had washed her dog '''jene laudua waulo''' = Jane will have washed her dog Note - in all the above occurrences of '''mama''' we could have '''mamate'''. The constuction 2) and 6) are generally only used when the Adjective and the Verb are viewed as something that you would want. There is also another way of expressing 2) and 6) that can be used in all situations. This is with the infix '''-il-'''. '''aiho''' = ugly '''aihilo''' = to uglify '''hau'e''' = beautifull '''hau'ile''' = to beautify .... the glottal stop is real laudilo = to make someone wash = "do" laudo .... I must read up on this, why is the morphological causative so pervasive ?? Also oi, and su can take clauses as their complements. For example ... ==Verb list== Usually a verb is recognizable by its midword consonant cluster. These verbs are of course multi-syllable. However the most common verbs are single-syllable. They are given below. ?/'''m'''/'''my'''/'''y'''/j/'''jw'''/f/'''fy'''/fl/'''b'''/'''by'''/bl/'''bw'''/g/gl/'''gw''' /d/'''dw'''/'''l'''/c/cw/'''s'''/sl/'''sw'''/'''k'''/ky/'''kl'''/kw/p/py/pl /'''t'''/tw/w/'''n'''/'''ny'''/'''h'''/ {| border=1 |- |align=center| to take |align=center| '''eu''' |- |align=center| to give |align=center| '''oi''' |- |align=center| to receive/get |align=center| '''dai''' |align=center| Thai |align=center| 65 mil |- |align=center| to have |align=center| '''su''' |- |align=center| to lack |align=center| '''hu''' |- |align=center| to read |align=center| '''baca''' |align=center| Indonesian/Malasian |align=center| 230 mil |- |align=center| to buy |align=center| '''osta''' |align=center| Finnish |align=center| 5 mil |- |align=center| to show |align=center| '''kle''' |align=center| Baule |align=center| ? mil (page 2) |- |align=center| to be at |align=center| '''fo''' |align=center| |align=center| |- |align=center| to be able to(mentally/generally) |align=center| '''weka''' |- |align=center| to be able to (physically) |align=center| '''wai''' |align=center| Thai |align=center| 65 mil |- |align=center| to be allowed |align=center| '''bisa''' |align=center| Indonesian/Malasian |align=center| 230 mil |- |align=center| to walk |align=center| '''dono''' |- |align=center| to wash |align=center| '''laudo''' |- |align=center| to flutter |align=center| '''awata''' |- |align=center| to wonder |align=center| '''awasa''' |- |align=center| to bite |align=center| '''glehe''' |- |align=center| to build |align=center| '''bunda''' |- |align=center| to sever |align=center| '''nya''' |- |align=center| to cut |align=center| '''kata''' |- |align=center| to talk |align=center| '''cata''' |- |- |align=center| to fly |align=center| '''senfo''' |- |align=center| to throw |align=center| '''fyo''' |- |align=center| to know |align=center| '''moi''' |- |align=center| to tell |align=center| '''myoi''' |- |align=center| to realize,recognize |align=center| '''maloi''' |- |align=center| to do |align=center| '''tu''' |- |align=center| to start |align=center| '''dwa''' |- |align=center| to be |align=center| '''ku''' |- |align=center| to become |align=center| '''gwa''' |- |align=center| to see |align=center| '''bai''' |- |align=center| to |align=center| '''bya''' |- |align=center| to meet |align=center| '''bwa''' |- |align=center| |align=center| '''swa''' |- |align=center| to want |align=center| '''ye''' |- |align=center| to need |align=center| '''?''' |- |align=center| to run |align=center| '''cwonso''' |- |align=center| to say |align=center| ''' ''' |- |align=center| to write |align=center| '''kludau''' |- |align=center| |align=center| '''loi''' |- |align=center| |align=center| '''jwa''' |- |align=center| to feel that you should |align=center| '''jada''' |- |align=center| to enter |align=center| '''pali''' |- |align=center| to put in |align=center| '''palyi''' |- |align=center| to exit |align=center| '''malu''' |- |align=center| to extract |align=center| '''malyu''' |- |align=center| to stop |align=center| '''ha''' |- |align=center| to go down |align=center| '''teu''' |- |align=center| to raise |align=center| '''jwo''' |- |align=center| to lower |align=center| '''twe''' |- |align=center| to enter |align=center| '''pai''' |- |align=center| to exit |align=center| '''myu''' |- |align=center| to insert |align=center| '''pli''' |- |align=center| to extract |align=center| '''fyu''' |- |align=center| to go through |align=center| '''fau''' |- |align=center| to say |align=center| '''plo''' |- |align=center| to think |align=center| '''''' |- |align=center| to wish |align=center| '''flua''' |- |align=center| to want |align=center| '''heu''' |- |align=center| to understand |align=center| '''nai''' |- |align=center| to follow |align=center| '''dwe''' |- |align=center| to cross |align=center| '''cwo''' |} The initial '''k''' is not taken by '''ku''' = to be, because this is of course realized by the '''r''' paradigm when the verb is finite.

The present active is the infinite with '''eu''' replacing the original vowel. These participles can appear in compounds. For example;- hand.make'''oi''' = handmade wife.beat'''la''' = wifebeater It could be said that there is a third participle. The infinitive can be used to mean "that must be". For example "shirt" "to wash" means the shirt that must be washed. ==A Ø-marked participle== ==Auxiliary verbs== The equivalents of the English words ''may'' and ''can'' are given by auxiliary verbs in Seuna. However the three Seuna words used are not "defective" as their English equivalents are. The verb fronted by the auxiliary verb is always in its infinitive form (called source form (consider Arabic "maSdar")). === '''wai''' === '''wai''' is used in situations where it is possible to xxxx because one has physical strength or skill.

The non-final verbs have the form of a shorn maSdar + "i" if the verbs happen one after the other. If the verbs all happen at the same time, the non-final verbs have the form of a shorn maSdar + "ai". If the maSdar is a monosyllable, "eu" is added instead of "i". Here are two examples demonstrating these two forms ;- 1) They caught cooked and eat three fish => catch(i) cook(i) eat(uri) three fish 2) They are going home singing and laughing => sing(ai) laugh(ai) go(ure) home. Now if the actions do not occur strictly one after the other, "i" can not be used. If in the above example, they caught cooked and eat one fish on the first day and two fish on the second day, you would have to use "ai" instead of "i". 3) The boss wrote letters, met supplicants all afternoon. ===The two types mixed=== 4) They will wash iron and fold the shirt => wash(i) iron(i) fold(uru) shirt however if we had 5) She will wash iron and fold the dirty clothes => wash(i) iron(ai) fold(uru) shirt However the above construction is a bit unusual. Although correct, most people would used two "i"s or two "ai"s. ===SVC's with two different objects=== In all the above examples the SVC's have only on object. However it is possible for a SVC to have two objects. For example ;- 5) They drink champagne eat caviar => '''solbai siampena humpuro kawia''' (i.e. they lead the life of Riley) ===What we have two subjects=== If we have two different subjects we can not use a SVC. (or at least what I am calling a SVC here). However we can have two clauses bound tightly together by using the sequential and the simultaneous tenses. Actually the table of tenses given in the chapter "Verbs 1" was incomplete. The full table is given below. {| border=1 |align=center| general |align=center| -'''o''' |- |align=center| past |align=center| -'''i''' |- |align=center| present |align=center| -'''e''' |- |align=center| future |align=center| -'''u''' |- |align=center| perfect |align=center| -'''a''' |- |align=center| past perfect |align=center| -'''ia''' |- |align=center| future perfect |align=center| -'''ua''' |- |align=center| simultaneous |align=center| -'''ai''' |- |align=center| consequential |align=center| -'''eu''' |} A verb ending in "ai" or "eu" takes its tense from the next verb following it. In the case of "ai", the first verb happens at the same time as the second verb. In the case of "eu", the first verb happens immediately before the second verb. WE NEED A GOOD 2 SUB, 2 VERB, 2 OBJECT EXAMPLE HERE '''solbureu siampena humpuro kawia''' = they drink champagne and then eat caviar '''solburai siampena humpuro kawia''' = they drink champagne and eat caviar (i.e. it is understood that the two actions are alternating) We can see that many different time structure are handle by morphology in Seuna. ===the 9 SVC verbs of motion=== Going back to example 1) Here '''nia''' is a second verb indicating motion. Verbs of motion often occur as the non-initial element in SVC's. In this position the motion verb is not so pertinent as the main verb but it certainly clarifies/colours the event described in the clause. There are nine verbs of motion which are very commonly used as such. {| border=1 |align=center| along |align=center| '''lia''' |align=center| to follow |align=center| '''l???''' |- |align=center| past |align=center| '''swia''' |align=center| to pass |align=center| '''sw???''' |- |align=center| across |align=center| '''dia''' |align=center| to cross |align=center| '''d???''' |- |align=center| through |align=center| '''dwia''' |align=center| to go through |align=center| '''dw??''' |- |align=center| up |align=center| '''sia''' |align=center| to ascend |align=center| '''s???''' |- |align=center| down |align=center| '''jia''' |align=center| to descend |align=center| '''j???''' |- |align=center| back |align=center| '''wia''' |align=center| to return |align=center| '''w???''' |- |align=center| away from speaker |align=center| '''gia''' |align=center| go |align=center| '''g??''' |- |align=center| towards speaker |align=center| '''nia''' |align=center| come |align=center| '''n???''' |} Some examples ;- he telephoned (to this location) = wire-speak'''ori nia''' he telephoned (from this location) = wire-speak'''ori gia''' to returned a call = wire-speak '''wia''' These eight words often corespond to prepositions in English. As with prepositions they are often followed by nouns to which they relate. ---- ===the copula in SVC=== In Seuna "he painted the green house" would mean the same as "he painted the house green" because of word order. Therefor to avoid confusion we must say "he painted the house to be green". "to be" in this position is treated as a normal second element in a SVC. It is represented by '''ya''' which is a sort of modified '''ia'''. ===other stuff=== Note ;- In the Seuna writing system '''ia''' is represented by the active verb symbol (i.e. "r") unadorned with a vowel subscript. Some more example ;- he broke into the bathroom = break'''ori''' enter the bathroom normally when the first verb is a word of motion, the word "enter" is not used. '''donori pidwolo''' = "S/he walked in the house" or "S/he walked into the house" However with "break", which is not a verb of motion, you use "enter". ===prepositions not supplanted by the SVC, but by case=== As mentioned above, the second element in many SVC are functionally equivalent to prepositions in English. Other English prepositions are functionally equivalent case tags in Seuna. Having a second verb in SVC's was considered but it was decided to go the "case" route. {| border=1 |align=center| case marking |align=center| English equivalent preposition |align=center| 2nd element of SVC (thought of but not used) |- |align=center| -'''ji''' |align=center| for |align=center| "to give" or "to help" |- |align=center| -'''u''' |align=center| with |align=center| "to use" |- |align=center| -'''ho''' |align=center| with |align=center| to accompany |- |align=center| -'''fi''' |align=center| at |align=center| to be at |- |align=center| -'''le''' |align=center| than |align=center| to surpass |} Also the cases -'''le''', -'''yo''' and -'''wa''' ; could maybe have been reoplaced by verbs meaning "come", "go", "arrive there", "arrive here", "reach", etc. etc. ===other verbs commonly used as SVC elements=== {| border=1 |align=center| meaning when independent verb |align=center| Form when independent |align=center| Meaning when 2nd element of SVC |align=center| Form when 2nd element |- |align=center| to oppose |align=center| '''w???''' |align=center| against |align=center| '''wia''' |- |align=center| to do carelessly |align=center| '''f???''' |align=center| |align=center| '''fia''' |- |align=center| to botch |align=center| '''b???''' |align=center| mis- |align=center| '''bia''' |} to hurry, to gather, to scratter to repeat, ............... (again) to enter, to exit to stop off .................. for a time on a journey(when second element "to take five"??) to connect, to disconnect ... on and off to stay ......................continue, keep on arrive, leave ................... to start, to stop ?? ===deliberate and accidental actions=== '''swela''' by itself means "to pounce on","to jump on", to swoop down on", "to fall on" '''toko''' by itself means "to fall" '''sweli''' after a verb means that that verb was done deliberately '''toki''' after a verb means that that verb was done accidentally ===The four verb forms in Seuna=== The verb '''dono''' (meaning, to walk) is used as an example. 1) '''dono''' is the "source form", which is the same as the infinitive in English. 2) '''donia''' is the "lagging form" and is the form used in non-initial elements of SVC's. 3) '''donais''' (Let's walk) is one of the "weak forms". All forms that have an "s" in the suffix are weak forms. The above form is used in situations in which the subjunctive form is used in some European languages. 4) '''donori''' (S/he walked) is one of the "strong forms". All forms that have an "r" in the suffix are strong forms. ==Rubbish== In this construction one verb comes first and then the second verb follows. (there is a hint of SVC in English when you hear things like "go see" : however that is about as far as it goes in English) In Seuna the first verb is given the full markings for tense, etc. etc. but the second verb has its final vowel deleted and the ending '''i''' added (if the verb is monosyllabic, the ending '''ia''' is added). For example ;- 1) '''donore nia''' = "S/he is walking in this direction" .... S/he is walking come Some examples ;- 2) They caught cook eat three fish ==Index== {{Seuna index}} Grammar of Longrimol 7168 55545 2010-08-13T21:38:31Z Longrim 1289 =Noun= Longrimol nouns have no gender, but has four grammatical number (singular, dual, partitive, plural) and a a bunch of locative cases covering motions and positions, thus leading to 45 cases. ==Number== There are four grammatical numbers in Longrimol, the singular, dual, partitive and plural. * Dual - for two things/persons #: ''ji faradja'' [jifa'raɟa] - the two flowers * Partitive - for ''some of (of a larger group)'' #: ''ir faradheli'' - some of the flowers * Plural - for three and more #: ''il färäidh'' - the flowers ==Cases== <div class="NavFrame" style="clear:both;width:{{{width|50}}}em"> <div class="NavContent" align=left> {| style="width:{{{width|50}}}em;" ! bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Case ! bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Singular ! bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Dual ! bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Partitive ! bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Plural |- align="center" | bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Nominative || farad ['farad] || faradja [fa'raɟja] || faradheli [fara'ðeli] || färäidh ['ferajð] |- align="center" | bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Genitive || faradha ['faraða] || faradja [fa'raɟja] || faradheli [fara'ðeli] || färäidha ['ferajða] |- align="center" | bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Dative || faradham ['faraðam] || faradjám [fa'raɟjaːm] || faradhelim [fara'ðelim] || fëräidhäm ['ferajðem] |- align="center" | bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Accusative || faradhil ['faraðil] || faradjäl [fa'raɟjel] || faradhelil [fara'ðelil] || färäidhil ['ferajðil] |- align="center" | bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Prepositional || faradhe ['faraðe] || faradje [fa'raɟje] || faradheli [fara'ðeli] || färäidhe ['ferajðe] |- align="center" | bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Instrumental || faradmen ['faradmen] || faradmjen [fa'radmjen] || faradhelven [faraˈðelven] || färäidhën ['ferajðin] |- align="center" | bgcolor="#F4F4F4" | Temporal || faradmir ['faradmir] || faradmkir [fa'raɟmir] || faradhelvir [faraˈðelvir] || färäidhir ['ferajðir] |- align="center" |} </div></div> * This table does not show all the Longrimol cases. ==Time and place reference== Longrimol nouns can be referred to from the perspective of time and location. : Prefix: ''de-'', if the noun is in ''past'', ''back then'' : Prefix: ''ta-'', if the noun is in ''future'' : Prefix: ''thø-'', if the noun is proximal, ''here'' : Prefix: ''dø-'', if the noun is distal, ''there''. If both of these kinds are used, time prefix usually comes before the location prefix. ''Ølïnin i dhedhø-raunil'' - I heard the boy who was there Hear-1.sng.PR the past-there-boy-ACC ['ølinin i,ðɛðø'rawnil] =Adjectives= * Adjectives follows the noun they modify. * Adjectives agree with the noun on number, but not on case. * Adjectives also have a time-place reference system, like the one of nouns. * Adjectives may have definite forms, but they are used in formal register only. * Adjectives have inflected comparisons, both positive (more, most) and negative (less, least). * Adjectives become stative verbs (by suffix -ijan) to incorporate tense, mood and aspect within the adjective, since Longrimol has no copula to do that. * Adjectives take silent suffix that causes mutation on the next word to mean ''to be X'' in emphatic means. =Verb= Longrimol verbs fall into two categories, the so called I-verbs and A-verbs. I-verbs are more ancient and smaller group of verbs usually directly descending from Old Elvish, the Proto-language of all the elven tongues,and their characterized by infinitives ending with "''-a''" and I-affection (rising and fronting) on the stem vowels when conjugating. On the contrary, A-verb infinitives end with an "''-an''" and they are no subjects to I-affection; they descend from newer [[Quebut]] (a daughter language of Old Elvish) verbs. ===Active Voice=== Pronominal suffixes (replaces ''-an'' and ''-a'') : ''SINGULAR'' :1. - :2. ''informal'' -l :2. ''formal'' -lgh [lɣ] :3. ''animate'' -c :3. ''inanimate'' -ch [x] ''PLURAL'' :1. ''exclusive'' -m :1. ''inclusive'' -mb :2. ''informal'' -ldh [lð] :2. ''formal'' -lgh [lɣ] :3. ''animate'' -g :3. ''inanimate'' -nth [nθ] ===Passive Voice=== ''SINGULAR'' :1. -ath [aθ] :2. ''informal'' -lth [lθ] :2. ''formal'' -gha [ɣa] :3. ''animate'' -ga :3. ''inanimate'' -cha [xa] ''PLURAL'' :1. ''exclusive'' -nth [nθ] :1. ''inclusive'' -ndh [nð] :2. ''informal'' -ldha [lða] :2. ''formal'' -lgha [lɣa] :3. ''animate'' -gha [ɣa] :3.

''animate'' -jed/-jog :3. ''inanimate'' -jenth/-jonth [jenθ]/[jonθ] (the form before "/" is the one of [[Grammar of Longrimol#I-Conjugation|I-Conjugation]], while the form after - the one of A-Conjugation. ===Interrogative verb form=== Longrimol interrogatives are made by adding the suffixe -''(i)re'' as the last affix of a verb. An interrogative participle "''vea''" can be added, too. :Daila ['dajla] - to speak :Däili ['dɛjli] - I speak :Däilire? ['dɛjlirɛ] / Vea dhäilire? ['vɛa 'ðɛilirɛ] - Do I speak? ===Moods=== These are the moods besides Declarative: 1. Optative/Subjunctive - expresses wish, behest, irreal actions, the English modals ''would'', ''could'', ''should''; 2. Imperative - expresses commands; 3. Narrative - reported speech; 4. Debitive - expresses a must, or more like a need; And some more, like Acquirative (what is acquired) , Possabilitive (what is possible), Abilitive (of what there is ability to do), Permissive (what is allowed) and others. Together, there are 15 moods (with several Mood-Levels included). ===Aspects=== Longrimol has these aspects: # Perfect, which is made in various ways. # Progressive, which is made in various ways. # Perfect Progressive, which is identical with Progressive. # Inceptive, which is made by infix -c-, and denotes an action that starts. # Defective, which is made by infix -p-, and denotes an action that almost occurs. # Pausative, which is made by infix -t-, and denotes an action that pause happening. # Resumptive, which is made by infix -m-, and denotes an action that resumes happening. # Terminative, which is made by infix -w-, and denotes an action that stops happening. # Momentane, # Frequentative, # Habitual # Coninuative # Protractive # Iterative # Experiental # Distributive # Completative ===Tenses=== Both conjugations have three inflectional tenses: Present, Past and Future. All of these can take any aspect, voice or mood (except imperative, which is tense-less). However, these tenses have fixed, not universal perfect and progressive formations. ==I-Conjugation== ===Infinitives=== Infinitives always end in a ''-a'' in I-conjugation. ===Pronominal ending attachment=== When adding pronominal endings, this ''a'' is replaced with an ''-i'', whence the name I-Conjugation. ====I-affection==== When adding the -i, the stem's vowels suffer from I-affection: :a,á >> ä [e], ää [eː] :e,é >> ë [i], ëë [iː] :u,ú >> ü [y], üü [yː] :o,ó >> ö [e], öö [eː] (or for some dialects [ø] and [øː] respectively) :i,í >> ï [i], ïï [iː] :y[y],ý >> ÿ [i], ÿÿ [iː] galla - to grow :gälli - I grow :gällil - you grow :gällilgh - thou growest :gällic - he/she/it grows :gällich - it grows : :gällim - we grow :gällimb - we grow :gällildh - you grow :gällilgh - ye grow :gällig - they grow :gällinth - they grow ==A-Conjugation== ===Infinitives=== Infinitives always end in a ''-an'' in A-conjugation. ===Pronominal ending attachment=== When adding pronominal endings, this ''an'' is replaced with an ''-a'', whence the name A-Conjugation.

'''dwolo''' = house '''dwolju''' = mansion '''dwolti''' = cottage I don't know if the third term has a latinate term. '''dwolcia''' = a hovel Notice that the end.tag overwrites the final vowel of the word. The rules that govern this are given in [[Seuna mid-clusters]]. ==== '''-fu''' ==== '''kono''' = spoon '''konofu''' = cuttlery chair ??? ... furniture hammer ??? ... tools '''waulo''' = a dog '''waulofu''' = any member of the Family Canidae ... that is dogs, wolves, foxes ... '''sai''' = a colour '''saifu''' = an adjective '''du''' = to do '''dufu''' = a verb '''to''' = it '''tofu''' = a noun '''bone''' = well (done) '''bonefu''' = an adverb ==== '''-peu''' ==== '''peu''' as an independent word means something like fellow. It has some connotations of friendliness. It can also be translated as "peer"; sombody who is equal to you in some way. '''x.peu''' = compatriot, fellow-countryman '''x.peu''' = contemporary ... time, epoch '''x.peu''' = co-religionist '''x.peu''' = fellow-professional '''x.peu''' = namesake '''x.peu''' = schoolmate '''x.peu''' = classmate '''x.peu''' = colleague ... work place '''das.peu''' = neighbour '''x.peu''' = companion ... road '''x.peu''' = comrade ... aim, goal ==== '''-ija''' ==== This is used to name the young of animals. '''waulo''' = dog '''waulja''' = puppy '''waugo''' = wulf '''waugija''' = wulf cub ==== '''-na, -gu''' and '''-da''' ==== The above three suffixes do not exist as independent words. If they did, they could be endstuck to the verb infinitive and we would have '''*solbe.na''', '''*solbe.ma''' and '''*solbe.da'''. However they are not independent words but pure affixes so we have. '''solbe''' = to drink '''solbena''' = the drinker '''solbegu''' = the drinker(non-human) '''solbeda''' = restaurant However these three tags are not restricted to only the infinitive of verbs. For example;- {| border=1 |align=center| '''gleho''' |align=center| tooth |align=center| '''glehona''' or '''glehon''' |align=center| dentist |} workman, milkman, jokeman etc. etc. ==== '''hu-''' ==== This is used to negate infinite verbs. '''solbe''' = to drink '''husolbe''' = to not drink It is fairly obvious ??? that it has an affinity with the independent word '''hi''' which means "to lack". '''hu''' as an independent word means "no" or "zero". === that will make an adjective === ==== '''-ia''' and '''-ua''' ==== '''fanfa''' = horse ... <noun> '''fanfia''' = having a horse, mounted ... <adjective> '''kloga''' = shoe ... <noun> '''klogua''' = shoeless ... <adjective> '''fanfian''' = the cavalry ... <collective noun> '''kloguan''' = the shoeless ... <collective noun> '''ta fanfia''' = the knight, the cavalry man '''ta klogua''' = the shoeless one, the shoeless person '''sa klogua''' = a shoeless one. a shouless person '''sa fanjia''' = a knight, a cavalry man '''tan fanfia''' = the knights, the cavalry men ??? '''san fanfia''' = some knight, cavalry men ??? '''fanfua''' = horseless, unmounted ... <adjective> '''fanfuan''' = the infantry-* ... <collective noun> -* This can also be translated by XXXX which means footsoldier. The adjectives made by suffixing '''ia''' and '''ua''' are made into nouns again by adding '''-ne''' rather than '''-un'''. For example ;- '''fanfuane''' = "the condition of being horseless" or "horselessness". ==== '''-we''' and '''-ka'''==== "woman" "man"'''ka''' = a masculine woman ... i.e. a woman who has the appearance of a man "man" "woman"'''we''' = a effeminate woman ... i.e. a man who acts like a woman ==== '''-wan''' ==== wan is end.stuck to a few adjectives as well as some nouns. Its has the sense of "tending towards","accustomed to" or "addicted to". {| border=1 |align=center| '''ai''' |align=center| white |align=center| '''aiwan''' |align=center| faded |- |align=center| '''loso''' |align=center| grey |align=center| '''loswan''' |align=center| grizzled |- |align=center| '''mi''' |align=center| I |align=center| '''miwan''' |align=center| selfish |- |align=center| '''mama''' |align=center| mother |align=center| '''mamawan''' |align=center| motherbound |- |align=center| '''dwolo''' |align=center| house |align=center| '''dwolwan''' |align=center| domesticated |- |align=center| '''caito''' |align=center| book |align=center| '''caitwan''' |align=center| bookish |} == Bits added to verbs == === that will make a verb === ==== '''-ay- -al-''' and '''-aw-''' ==== These three infixes are inserted just before the last verb of the infinitive. They respectively give the causative, the inchoative and the reciprocal. '''solbe''' = to drink '''solbaye''' = to make drink '''solbale''' = to start to drink '''timpa''' = to hit '''timpaya''' = to cause to hit '''timpala''' = to start to hit '''timpawa''' = to fight These can not be chained together. That is you can not express, for example, "to start causing to hit" with one word. ==== '''-u-''' ==== An in.tag that gives the verb a meaning opposite from the original. '''henda''' = to dress '''hendua''' = to undress ==== '''-pa''' '''-pu''' and '''-pe''' ==== These are used to negate finite verbs in the subjunctive mood. They can be perhaps considered as part of the person-mood-tense-aspect-evidential paradigm which is not considered in this section. '''timpas''' = let me hit '''timpaspa''' = don't let me hit '''timpamo''' = if I hit '''timpampu''' = if I don't hit '''timpami''' = if I had hit '''timpampe''' = if I had not hit === that will make an adjective === ==== '''-au''' and '''-ina''' ==== These suffixes produce adjectives from verbs. '''au''' produces the so-called present active participle. '''ina''' produces the so-called past active participle. '''timpa''' = to hit '''timpau''' = hitting '''timpina''' = hit, struck Notice that the last vowel from the verb is dropped. '''timpa''' is a transitive verb. For intransitive verbs the present-active/past-active distinction telescopes in to a present/past distinction. = our departing friends = our departed friends ==== '''-si''' ==== This suffix turn a verb into and adjective with the meaning "having a propensity or inclination to "verb" ". '''loŋge''' = to rest, to relax '''loŋgesi''' = lazy When the verb ends in a double vowel(diphthong), the last element is dropped. '''kodai''' = to work '''kodasi''' = diligent '''gomia''' = to quarrel '''gomisi''' = quarrelsome To make a noun from the adjective formed with the '''-si''' suffix, '''-ne''' should be used. For example ;- '''kodasine''' = diligence == Bits added to adjectives == === that will make an adverb === ==== '''-we''' ==== '''hau'e''' = beautiful '''hau'ewe''' = beautifully === that will make an adjective === ==== -s and '''-stx''' ==== '''-s''' is a suffix that gives the comparative degree and '''-stx''' is a suffix that gives the superlative degree. '''x''' represents any vowel, in fact the last vowel of the adjective itself is repeated. '''hau'e''' = beautiful '''hau'es''' = more beautiful '''hau'este''' = most beautiful ==== '''u-''' ==== u is a prefix, used to turn an adjective into an adjective meaning the exact opposite. '''mutu''' = important '''umutu''' = unimportant === that will make a noun === ==== '''-na''' or '''-n'''==== The affixes '''-n''' and '''-na''' are in free variation. '''hau'e''' = beautiful ... '''hau'en''' or '''hau'ena''' = a/the beauty '''fanfa''' = horse ... '''fanfia''' = having a horse ... '''fanfian''' = a/the horseman '''fanfianai''' = the cavalry ==== '''-me''' ==== '''-me''' is a suffix which changes an adjective to a noun. Usually the last vowel of the adjective is dropped. '''uje''' = soft '''ujeme''' Also derived words ending in ai or au take the suffix in thuis form. '''kenko'''="salt"...'''kenkai'''="salty"...'''kenkaime'''="saltiness" === that will make a verb === ==== '''-du''' and '''-gwa''' ==== It can be argued that '''-du''' and '''-gwa''' are not really affixes a all, but just examples of the usual method of compounding using the word.join method. '''tuju''' = big '''tuju.du''' = to make big '''tuju.gwa''' = to become big ==Index== {{Seuna index}} BPJ on VL 7205 51448 2010-01-13T08:03:38Z Melroch 31 Redirected page to [[User:Melroch/Vulgar Latin]] #REDIRECT [[User:Melroch/Vulgar Latin]] Romanisches Etymologisches Woerterbuch 7206 51451 2010-01-13T08:17:15Z Melroch 31 Redirected page to [[Romlang reference works online#Romanisches etymologisches W.C3.B6rterbuch]] #REDIRECT [[Romlang_reference_works_online#Romanisches_etymologisches_W.C3.B6rterbuch]] Phonemic principle 7207 51455 2010-01-13T14:25:16Z Tropylium 756 Created page with 'In [[orthography]], the '''phonemic principle''' holds that there should be a one-to-one correspondence between the orthographic and phonemic representation of a word, or more st…' In [[orthography]], the '''phonemic principle''' holds that there should be a one-to-one correspondence between the orthographic and phonemic representation of a word, or more strictly, that there should be a one-to-one correspondence between [[grapheme]]s and [[phoneme]]s (which requires the writing system in question to be an [[alphabet]] or an [[abugida]]).

They are similar in hight and build to humans, but their skin has a mottled appearance in various shades of brown, grey and green - something like camouflage fabric. Their skin is covered with vibrissae, light but stiff bristles which are approximately two inches long and an inch apart. These make them highly sensitive to air movements. This sense is very important to them, and gives them a sense of being fully immersed in an active world. Cognitive exolinguists believe that this explains why nouns and verbs are fused in [[iljena]]. Visually, they can see a wider range of wavelengths than humans (extending into the near infra-red), but only discriminate colours over a narrower range of frequencies. Their sense of smell is better than humans. == Biology == Viviparous fish, with life-cycles similar to that of a seahorse (eggs are kept in a brood-pouch by the male until hatching) are very common in lijin kovt's oceans, and one such species was the ancestor of land-dwelling vertebrates on lijin kovt (Terran biological terms are used analogically for reasonably similar creatures). The basal clade of land vertebrates is therefore known as "patrigenes" in human terminology. As larger creatures evolved, larger eggs were necessary, and trasferring the eggs between the female and the male became difficult. The "macroovan" clade developed two different strategies to solve this problem. One group, the "neoovipares" began to lay shelled eggs. This group includes the Pavonian equivalent of birds. The other group, the "matrigenes", retained the egg within the females body, continuously secreting yolk to nourish it until birth. It is to this group that the Leyen belong. During infancy, Leyen are fed regurgitated food from a crop by both parents. The presence of a crop in males is an adaptation to a monogamous lifestyle - in related species that are not monogamous, the male crop is vestigial. Leyen do not have visible secondary sexual characteristics - they normally distinguish male from female Leyen by scent. This means that they do not need clothing for personal modesty. As it would interfere with their vibrissae, they will only wear clothing if absolutely necessary to protect the body.

It consists of the Confederation of [[New England (Indo-European Japan)|New England]], the Province of [[Pennsylvania (Indo-European Japan)|Pennsylvania]], and the Province of [[Illinois (Alaska)|Illinois]]. New England is divided into 8 Provinces (New Somersetshire, New Yorkshire, New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, New Haven, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Plymouth). == Politics == [[Image:IEJ-EA.png|300px|thumb|left|Map showing the provinces of English Alaska]] English Alaska is ruled by a Viceroy nominally appointed by the Monarch, and a bicameral Grand Council. The Grand Council consists of a Senate with 10 representatives from each of the three primary divisions, and a House of Commons, with each Province (that is, the seven provinces of New England plus the provinces of Pennsylvania and Illinois) sending members in proportion to their population. The House currently has 120 Members. The Grand Council is headed by a President-General. Illinois and Pennsylvania are both governed by a unicameral Council and a Governor appointed (nominally) by the Crown, while New England has a bicameral Council (modeled on the federal model) and a Governor-General, with each province governed by its own unicameral Council and Governor. === Monarch === Until 2005, English Alaska's monarch was the same as [[England (Indo-European Japan)|England]]'s. In 1996, the Parliament passed a new succession law making the monarch's firstborn child - regardless of sex - the heir-apparent. King [[James II of England (Indo-European Japan)|James II]]'s first born was a daughter, Princess Mary, while his secondborn was a son, the then-Prince of Wales [[Henry XI of England (Indo-European Japan)|Henry]]. Mary had been born in Jacobia during the Royal Family's exile in the [[Global War (Indo-European Japan)|Global War]], and had a special connection with English Alaska, frequently visiting it, and attending university at Harvard. She was far more favored than her brother by most English-Alaskans. The Anglo-Alaskan Succession Act created a new title, Prince/Princess of Philadelphia, for the heir-apparent, which was formally bestowed upon Mary by a reluctant King James II in 2002. He had also initially refused to give Royal Assent to the Act, until Parliament declared its intention to ignore Royal Assent if necessary. James had been unwilling to permit any part of his realms from being separated from England, and the English had been unwilling to revise their succession to equal primogeniture (in part because it was seen as an Alaskan innovation). Upon James' death in 2005, Mary inherited the throne of English Alaska while her brother Henry became King of England and all other domains. There is some debate over the proper numbering of Mary, with some arguing that, as the Act effectively created a new monarchy, she should be referred to as Mary I of English Alaska. However, Mary herself has proclaimed Mary III as the proper ordinal. Mary III has three children and two grandchildren, establishing a secure succession. == Relationship with New Netherlands == English Alaska and [[New Netherlands]] are closely allied. They are in a customs union, and the English-Alaskan pound and the New Netherlands rijksdaalder are fixed relative to each other at £1 = $5 ($1 = 4/-). The EA-NN border is completely open, and citizens of each state enjoy significant rights in the other. The two have long been in a military alliance. There has been talk from time to time of a full union between the two, but at present, they remain officially separate. == Currency == English Alaska uses the Pound, originally equal to that of England, but today, the two float relative to each other.

Early interoceanic contact was made by the Vikings, but permanent contact between Eurasia and Alaska began in 1453 with the arrival of [[Enchukok|Enchukokan]] explorers searching for the mythical Northern Passage to Europe. The first inhabitants to encounter Eurasians were, therefore, the Aleutian islanders, whose name for the mainland, ''alaxsxaq'', was adapted as ''Alaska'' or ''Alaskok'' [[Image:IEJA.png|600px]] [[Category:Indo-European Japan]] File:IEJA.png 7237 51977 2010-02-21T10:09:01Z Christina 18 uploaded a new version of "[[File:IEJA.png]]":&#32;Modified New Netherlands' border A map of Alaska in the Indo-European Japan timeline, on top of a map of North America *here* File:Mo ta yala ka 2.PNG 7238 51619 2010-01-31T14:02:18Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moyaha]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] [[Category:Moyaha]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] File:Ko tayo onatam ka 2.PNG 7239 51622 2010-01-31T14:04:53Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moyaha]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] [[Category:Moyaha]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] File:Moya chart name.PNG 7240 51634 2010-02-01T16:35:37Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moyaha]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] [[Category:Moyaha]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] Alaya 7241 51657 2010-02-01T21:15:32Z Lakrymohsa 1362 /* Language */ {{Planet| |name=Alaya |image=[[]] |year_local=380.0 Alaya days |year_earthdays=348.3 Earth days |siderealday= hours |solarday= 22 hours |diameter_metric=12,756.32 km |diameter_usa=7,926.41 mi |area_metric= km<sup>2</sup> |area_usa= mi<sup>2</sup> |tilt= 23.0081 degrees |mass_metric= Yg |mass_earths= earths |gravity= 9.762234 m/s<sup>2</sup> |moons=3 ([[Kata]], [[Kranoh]] and [[Platon]])}} Alaya is a green planet that is situated in the main alternate dimension of Earth, its history and future. Its surface is simular to Earth's (although the continents have shifted into different places) and homes a pretty large ecosystem with nothing too threatening for humans of Earth. There are disputes about its capital as their are 3 main biocities. [[Vurtuua Kongrah]] (literally, 'pretty city') is generally the accepted capital. The others being [[Krantoh Kongrah]] and [[Fahra Kongrah]]. There are a further 1406 towns, and many homes placed a significant distance from neighbouring towns or cities. There are three main continents of Alaya named [[Tralahna]], [[Katansa]] and [[Protsantya]]. == History == In the Earth years 2540-2545 a time shift phenemonen occured which meant people of Earth where able to easily move between both realities. This caused a surge in population on Alaya as 205,800 people moved to the planet, building biocities and creating pathways through the landscape. Minerals where taken from Earth and Titan (Jupiter's moon) to preserve Alaya's beautiful landscape. Some food was brought from Earth but most of it came from Alaya's own sources of nutrition. These were constantly monitored so that the delicate ecosystem remained in balance. Subsequently, not Earth animals where brought over. On 25th March 2545 the pathway between the dimensions disapeared leaving an estimated 250,000 people stranded on Alaya. They have no contact with Earth. == Time Correspondence == Surprisingly, Alaya's year 1050 (year Alayun was introduced) corresponds to the Earth year 2016 which means that time on Alaya runs backwards. (This is not to say that everything on Alaya moves backwards, it just moves in an opposite direction to Earth). Alayun y0 equates to Earth y2540. == Language == [[Alayun]] is the universal language of Alaya developed from a mix of 'New' languages from the people of Earth. It came into common use in the Alaya year 1050 as it was decided that the mix of languages was causing barriers between the people of Alaya. It took only 100 years to become fully functional and now only a small group of Alayatha's (Alaya people) speak Earth languages like New English, New American, New Russian, European and Eastern.

To get the ball rolling, I've asked permission from a couple of people who've followed Khangaþyagon in translation relays to post the feedback they gave me. [http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/teonaht.html Sally Caves], who followed Khangaþyagon in [http://www.kunstsprachen.de/relay11/ The Primordial Soup Relay], wrote I think ⁅Khangaþyagon⁆ is very interesting; I like the VSO structure --being a Celticist-- but one thing I would drop is the repetition in the adjectives. It makes for a kind of repetitive wordiness, and this is why I don't particularly like agglutinating languages. ''I replied: I chose VSO because Khangaþyagon is a magical language - indeed, the name translates as "magic language". I therefore thought that there should be an emphasis on action, so therefore the verb should come first.'' ''Sally said:'' Hmm. Isn't that funny. Among the Teonim, it's the last thing that has emphasis, the newest sound in the air. So the verb comes last, Teonaht being an active language, with emphasis on volitionality. ''I also said: I don't quite know why I chose adjective agreement - although in a VSO language with no accusative marker, it probably makes the sentence structure easier to follow.'' ''Sally replied:'' Not really. Welsh doesn't have much adjective agreement; only in a few cases. Nor is it an inflected language like Irish. Later on, Sally asked me a few more questions about Khangaþyagon. Here they are, with my replies #Did Khangaþyagon emerge from a Role-Playing Game? #*No, it's part of a fantasy novel which I'm in the process of writing. #What are the features of Khangaþyagon such that it is a magical language instead of a regular conlang? #*In its concultural setting, Khangaþyagon is the original language of the world in which it was spoken. The Creator of the world came into it and walked among the first people for a while, and that was the language He spoke with them. When one of them defied Him, seeking to make himself ruler over the people, and declared that he would rather not be than submit to the Creator, the Creator granted his wish not so be so as to restore peace. However, this created death, which grieved the Creator, so he resolved to withdraw from the world, so that His presence would cause no more harm. However, He left a remnant of His powers in the world for the benefit of mankind. Wizards are those who have the ability to use these powers, have attained the "true knowledge" of magic, and use them for the benefit of others. When other languages began to diverge from the first language, they lost their magical potency. Wizards therefore preserved its use amongst themselves, and named it Khangaþyagon. It is necessary for a wizard to be able to understand and communicate in Khangaþyagon - simply reciting spells by rote doesn't work, and would neither enable the practitioner to attain true knowledge nor to formulate his own spells. #Is your choice of an agglutinating language important to the magical quality of this language? #*It's influenced by the runic inscription that I used for my first source material. The ring was believed to be a talisman against bleeding, so I gave it an appropriate meaning, and then analysed the words to give that meaning. The length of the words made an agglutinating structure seem likely, so I parsed them accordingly. Since then, I've been largely guided by instinct - certain things seem right for Khangaþyagon, and that's my main design principle. I was also influenced by the large amount of compounding in German. #Is your choice of adjective agreement important? If so, is it because of the repetition? #*The repetition does give a certain incantatory feel to the language, I find. The poem that I posted on the conlang list illustrates this particularly well. This seems to be aesthetically right for a magical language. I suppose that it's partly a Latin influence (Latin was the language that first made me realise that a language could work in a significantly different way from English, and has a long history of sacred, scholarly and magical use) although in other aspects I've tried to avoid romance influences. #Where did you get the Anglo-Saxon runic inscription on the ring? I'm sure it's not nonsense; just not West Saxon. #*I was hoping for a Germanic, Saxon feel for Khangaþyagon, but not for a lookalike of any existing language. I was looking for information about Saxon runic inscriptions on the internet when I found the inscription, which I believe is the oldest runic inscription found in England. The fact that it seemed to be for magical purposes fitted what I wanted for Khangaþyagon exactly, so I'd found my starting point. Interesting that you think it's not nonsense. I wonder what it could be? [http://www.grsampson.net/QBirthOfEng.html The page where I found it] didn't suggest a meaning. # How influenced are you by Anglo-Saxon as a language? #*I'm interested in the Anglo-Saxons as a culture. They were a significant proportion of my ancestors. They had a prototype democracy, they were a warrior culture but once they came into contact with Christianity they developed a thriving academic tradition practically overnight. I was at Durham University, at the College of St. Hild and St. Bede, named after two particularly important Anglo-Saxon scholars. William the Conqueror's other epithet describes his character as much as his parentage. Jörg Rhiemeier, who followed Khangaþyagon in [[Conlang Relay 15]], wrote It is a nice, well-developed conlang with very rich morphology, which I like. I especially like the segunkar system, which reminds me of the Daghestanian "case construction kits"; I am going to have something similar in some daughter languages of [[Old Albic]]. The language seems somewhat pristine and artificial to me, but if I remember correctly, it is meant to be the first language from which all other language evolved in a fantasy world, so the lack of diachronic depth positively makes sense. Roger Mills, who followed Khangaþyagon in Conlang Relay 16, wrote gevont: ge- 'true' + v- know + pres.part. "true knowing??" I translated it literally as "true knowledge (of)..." but wonder if it could have meant 'to recognize' or 'to be aware of' ''I replied: I generally use it as "understand". ge and v- are two of the first Khangaþyagon roots I created. Actually gevont should mean "One who understands", but I forgot about that little semantic irregularity there when I translated.'' sabegrontol: by tolerating? or "with toleration"?; same for mezzalesardlol 'together+feeling+ADJ+by' = with sympathy, sympathetically??? anyhow it led to a comparable compound (feel+with) for 'sympathy' in Gwr. ''I replied: Most words for sympathy or compassion in natlangs can be translated as "to feel or suffer with", so I followed the pattern.'' paðiltar -- do,act + 3 +IMPER + pl. A 3rd pers. imperative?? "let (them) act...??" I translated as (they) must act ''I replied: Strictly speaking, the Khangaþyagon imperative is also an optative or hortative, but grammatically it's all the same form. My smooth English has "Let them..." but "they must..." is perfectly valid.'' snaug 'fault' -- now, that's one ugly word ;-) ''I replied: Deliberate phonoaesthetic choice there.'' and the last phrase: gevir yir yi 'true-know-3-pl they __? is the last yi = it? as I assumed ''I replied: Yes'' And what about that last sentence: "I am not sure" ???????? ''I replied: Well, I translate and send on what I get, but I imagine that originally the last two sentences might have been one, along the lines of "Few people doubt that they understand virtue, but I am not sure." '' --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 13:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC) [http://www.terjemar.net Sylvia Sotomayor], who translated into Khangaþyagon in Inverse Relay 2, wrote I enjoyed it. I find it kinda fun and weird at the same time that 'on' is a combination of 'above' and 'in contact with'. That is neat. --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 16:47, 4 February 2010 (UTC) David E, who followed Khangaþyagon in [[Conlang Relay 17]] said: When I first found out I'd be translating Khangaþyagon, I dug into your materials on Frath wiki and thought the premise was really cool. The language certainly seems to fit its role; it was pretty easy to pull apart the various segunakar and construct the meaning of the passage, and I can see how you could string things together to form some cool magical formulas. The relative simplicity of the grammar is a plus as well (the lack of irregularities was a godsend, thanks for that!), since any fans of your novel won't need to be linguistic buffs to dig into the language. --[[User:PeteBleackley|PeteBleackley]] 12:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC) WHATL 7244 51666 2010-02-02T15:18:27Z Melroch 31 Redirected page to [[Western Hellenism Alternative Timeline]] #REDIRECT [[Western Hellenism Alternative Timeline]] The WHAT 7245 51664 2010-02-02T15:16:07Z Melroch 31 moved [[The WHAT]] to [[Western Hellenism Alternative Timeline]]:&#32;There are now two abbreviations, so better have the page under the full name.

It was spoken in the Dāiadak city states of the Rathedān highlands in the time period around 0 YP. With the expansion of the Empire of Athalē from 200 YP onward, the language spread across most of the middle and upper Eigə valley. In 414 YP, '''Imperial Adāta''' was declared official language of the empire by Khepōnon I, thereby further strengthening its position outside the Dāiadak heartlands and largely replacing local tongues. Adāta is notable for being the parent language of the so-called [[Akana#The Cursed Relay|"Cursed Relay"]] of 2006, a game in which several generations of daughter languages were derived from it. {{AkanaWikiLink}} * [http://deinioljones.net/conlangs/adata/adata.htm Adāta grammar] [[Category:Conlangs]] Ndak Ta 7250 57630 2010-11-14T14:35:21Z Cedh audmanh 313 {{Akana}} '''Ndak Ta''' is the language of the ancient Ndak Empire, based in [[Kasca|Kasadgad]] around -1900 YP.

There are some new sounds which will be shown below but nearly 99.9% of words are adapted from english. There are cases such as Dative and Genitive and the definite and indefinite article are suffixes. Has an icelandic/Faroese look. Word order is SVO. The language is complete, as it's vocabulary is mainly drawn from english, however there has been significant sound changes which makes it sound nothing like english. Easy to learn and to write in. Example > The man is walking down the street > Manið valke dún strýtiðum. ==Examples== # The woman is taking her baby to the pool = Vomanið take hona babý til púliðs # I want to go to the cinema tomorrow = Jæ vile að gora til cinemaiðs # I could sing but I am bad at it = Jæ kunað singa men jæ er bad at það. # I love writing examples = Jæ luve að ræta egsamplea. # You should learn New english = þú skalað lerna nyenglisk :). ==Grammar== There are three cases - Nominative, Dative and Genitive. '''''Dative''''' The Dative case is only used after prepositions and some verbs. In the dative case nouns end in "að" for singular and "u" in the plural. The suffix for "a" in the dative case is "inað" and the suffix for "the" is iðum for singular and iðu in the plural. All prepositions except til (to) and vegna (because of) take dative. '''''Genitive''''' The Genitive case is used much less than the Dative. No verbs take the genitive after them and only two prepositions take the genitive. The Genitive endings for nouns are "s" for singular and "ur" for plural. The suffix for "a" becomes ins in the Genitive and the suffix for "the" becomes iðs for the singular and iður for the plural. Til (to) and Vegna (because of) also take the genitive. The Genitive can also be used the exact same way as in english - My mum's book > Mín mums búk - although there is no need for an apostrophe. '''---Examples---''' :Dative - I am against independence = Jæ er eje índependence'''''að''''' :Genitive - I am going to America = Jæ gore til Amerika'''''s''''' ---- ==Orthography== æ = eye á = aw í = ee ó = ow ú = oo ý = ee (NB: í and ý can be interchangeable, it is up to the person preference) ð = eth (never at beginning of words) þ = th (never at the end of words) tj = ch je / ji = y ngje = like the "nge" in change j = j (y when followed by e/i) ej = ay sj = sh ==Accusative Case== It was decided that there would be no accusative case. Therefore one says "I have I" instead of "I have me" - Jæ haðe jæ. No prepositions take accusative, and all accusative associated prepositions became governed by the Dative case. ==Verbs== All verbs end in '''a''' > að vera/giva/skala All verbs are preceeded by '''að''' (meaning to) however að is only used with verbs and not as a normal preposition. Verbs only conjugate once. The '''"a"''' is turned '''"e"''' and the verb remains the same for all persons > '''Jæ er, teir er.''' In the '''past tense''', '''haða''' is always used as the auxilluarly and '''ð''' is added to the stem of the verb > '''Jæ haðe komað = I have come.''' The '''imperfect''' is formed by taking the past participle and using that as the verb > '''Jæ komað = I came ''' The '''Future''' is formed by taking the verb '''"Skala"''' and using that as the auxilluarly and then adding the infinitive > '''Jæ skale koma = I will come.''' The '''conditional''' is formed by taking the past participle of '''"skala"''' and then adding the infinitve > '''Jæ skalað koma = I would come.''' The '''past Conditional''' is formed by taking the past participle of '''"skala"''' and then adding the past participle of the verb > '''Jæ skalað komað = I would have come.''' ==Definite and Indefinite Article with Adjectives== When adjectives are used with the definite article, the definite articles stands on its own and is also added to the end of the noun.

It is a direct descendant of [[Ndak Ta]], belonging to the [[Edastean languages|Edastean]] language family. Buruya Nzaysa is classified, by convention, as a divergent western dialect of [[Delta Naidda|Naidda]]. There is no doubt that these speech varieties formed a dialect continuum; however, the differences are substantial enough for many scholars to maintain the position that Buruya Nzaysa was in fact a separate language, intermediate between Naidda and [[Ndok Aisô]]. {{AkanaWikiLink}} [[Category:Conlangs]] SIAL 7261 51812 2010-02-06T04:10:07Z Qiihoskeh 1192 preliminary SIAL is designed as an International Auxiliary Language. The morphology is ''a priori'', while the general lexicon is ''a posteriori'', and the syntax is a mixture. ==Orthography and Phonology== ===Letters and Sounds=== SIAL uses the latin alphabet (of which H, Q, and X occur only in proper names) with no diacritics. *A, E, O, I, U are always used for vowels [a, e, o, i, u], *P, T, K, B, D, G, C, J, F, S, V, Z, M, N are always used for consonants [p, t, k, b, d, g, tS or S, dZ or Z, f, s, v, z, m, n or N], *R, L are also used for consonants (they have the most phonetic variation and note that they have complimentary distribution outside of proper names), *Y, W are sometimes used as consonants [j, w] and sometimes as unstressable vowels [i, u]. ===Phonotactics=== Syllable structure is '''(C(L))V(C)'''. The onset clusters which occur include TR, DR, PL, BL, KL, GL, KW, GW. Geminates of nasals and voiceless obstruents may occur; these are written using double consonants: PP [p:], CC [t:S], etc. except that [S:] is written SC. The geminate RR also occurs. The consonant clusters SP(L), ST(R), SC, SK(L), SKW, and geminate RR may occur word-initially in the citation form and in speech or writing when the immediately preceding word ends in a vowel. Otherwise, a vowel is added (E before RR and I before the others) to preserve the syllable structure given above. ===Prosody=== Stress is on the penult with a few exceptions (mainly stressed monosyllables and maybe some proper names). ==Morphology== SIAL has only a few inflection and derivational affixes. ===Inflectional Suffixes=== The main lexical classes are verb, noun, and particle. Note that these are distinct from the similarly named syntactical classes. The final vowel of an inflectable verb or noun determines its syntactical class. These are: {| ! -A | preposition or divalent verb with explicit object |- ! -E | adverb, secondary predicate, or verb without explicit object |- ! -O | noun, adjective, or other noun modifier |- ! -I | vocative (only on head word of phrase) |- ! -U or none | some proper nouns |} There's also a non-final suffix '''-AZ'''. It's technically a role inversion suffix, but for inflectional purposes is used as a passive marker. ===Inflectional Prefixes=== {| ! le- | optative || mood |- ! zu- | progressive || aspect |- ! bi- | habitual || aspect |- ! ge- | retrospective || aspect |- ! va- | prospective || aspect |} Where both mood and aspect are marked, the mood prefix appears first. Where aspect is unmarked, a dynamic lexical verb is aoristic and a static lexical verb is stative. ==Syntax== SIAL is basically '''S-V-O-P''' and '''D-Q-A-N'''. ==Vocabulary== The general vocabulary should be as international as possible. This means that there are a lot of words derived from Latin, some from Greek (most numeric), and some from various other sources.

The term envelops several different categories, and there are a number of different definitions of the term. The most important category, and the main prototype of the NTSE idea, is the [[Major Faith]]. A Major Faith is a religion recognized by the imperial government. Heads of the Major Faiths have seats in the [[Kasshi Parliament#Grand Assembly|Grand Assembly]] (one of the three houses of the Kasshi Parliament). Imperial IDs have Major Faith as one of the data fields (including a category that can be translated as "Secular" for lack of a better term, indicating, in this context, not belonging to a Major Faith - thus including not only members of other religions, but the non-religious). For the most part, Major Faiths are large religions, but there are a few smaller ones whose status is politically-motivated, as well as one fairly large new religion, [[Trimundialism]], that is excluded from the category. Major Faiths are given a certain degree of legal authority over their members, and the secular government agrees to enforce certain laws for them. For example, several of the Major Faiths prohibit drinking among their members. Of those, some have signed agreements requiring the state to enforce this law, and therefore, ID is required in alcohol purchases to ensure not only that the purchaser is above the legal age, but is not in one of the no-alcohol faiths. Except where an agreement explicitly renounces it, Major Faiths also have the right to (within certain limitations) punish their members for breaking the religion's laws. Membership is inherited at birth, unless renounced, and the Major Faiths have a tacit agreement amongst each other to minimize proselytizing each other's members. The Major Faiths are also authorized to collect "tithes", which effectively function as taxes. In exchange for these rights and authorized tax-collection, the Major Faiths assume a number of social services duties, leaving the state to care for the "secular" citizens. The Major Faiths are, in some areas, better than the state, leading some to join a Major Faith for that reason. Joining and leaving Major Faiths is not easy. One is generally assumed to be in the Major Faith of their parents - and in the case of a mixed-Faith union, is expected to choose one at adulthood. Other than by birth, no one can become a member of a Major Faith against their will, and the right of the Major Faiths to excommunicate members is limited by various agreements between the Faiths and the state. Beyond that, there is no single principle that holds for leaving or joining Faiths, except that one can belong to only a single Major Faith at a time, and the state administers membership rolls on behalf of the Faiths. Each Faith has its own rules for joining. All are required to, at least in theory, be open to converts, but a few are so stringent in their admission standards that they are practically closed. This system was set up by [[First Adviser]] [[Dzesa]] as a compromise to defuse religious tensions, giving them legal power over their members, but preventing them from extending that power over non-members. It was part of the establishment of what she called the Era of Religious Harmony (a somewhat propogandistic name). This system is currently under strain, and some believe it to be on the road to collapse. Some Major Faiths have staked actual territories where they rule in all but name, and many fear that the Empire is headed towards religious civil war. Even older than the Major Faiths, but of much less contemporary importance, are the [[Kasshi clan|clans]]. One belongs to the clan of one's [[Kasshi House|House]] (an extended family structure). Marriage consists of one spouse leaving their birth House and clan to join their spouse's House and clan (it's possible for both Houses to belong to the same clan). Today, the clans have primarily statistical significance. Clan leaders administer the imperial census and other statistical functions. New citizens must join a clan, as citizenship is through the clans (in the early days, the clans were divided between citizen clans and non-citizen clans, but today all clans are citizens), but other than that, one cannot change clans, except through transfer from one House to another. When the Empire was founded, the clans performed much of the administration of the empire, and clan laws were often adopted as local laws. Clans were semi-territorial in that they generally had territory that historically belonged to the clans. By the founding of the empire, however, immigration had reduced the importance of those territories (although clan borders frequently coincided with state borders, both pre- and post-establishment of the Empire) as many people lived in other clans' territories. The clans gradually lost power, and their older subdivisions are almost entirely forgotten. Most people only know their clan because clan name is a part of full names. Other NTSEs were formed on the model of the Major Faiths. [[Kasshi tribe|Tribes]], for example, are cultural/ethnic groups that have been granted recognition by the state. Corporations are sometimes argued to be a type of NTSE, and court precedence is mixed on this argument, with some rulings favoring this view and others opposing it. The [[Pteranthropan Federation]] consists of all [[Pteranthropan]]s in the Empire. Pteranthropans are the native sentient species of [[Galhaf (planet)|Galhaf]], now a tiny minority. Several advocacy groups have gained NTSE-like status. Groups such as the deaf and various forms of physical and cognitive disabilities have gained NTSE-like recognition, but are far more limited in their powers and responsibilities than the Major Faiths.

Since Keβag words' declension is based on their ancient forms, foreign terms adapted to its particular declension. *'''From Latin''': Words from Latin entered the language in different periods, and could endure Keβag typical phonetical changes. Latin words are used to adapt to Keβag declension patterns: : - Latin words ending in -us were declined as Keβag words in -OM : - Latin words ending in -a were declined as Keβag feminine words in -O : - Latin words ending in consonant were declined as Keβag words belonging to the 3rd declension.

On the contrary to Latin these languages have no declension pattern matching Keβag ones and nouns are placed in a declension pattern arbitrarily (sometimes respecting the original genre in some language). Orthography usually adapts to Keβag writing rules, but phonetics do not; in this way when a noun ends with an unusual consonant for Keβag phonology, this consonant remains unchanged in declension. * Këmp'uter (from English ''computer'') - 1st masculine declension {| |colspan=3| <center>'''këmp'uter''' (''computer'')</center> |- | || colspan=2| ''Definite declension'' |- | || Singular || Plural || Singular |- | Nominative || ë këmp'uter || en xëmp'uter' |- | Genitive || ë xëmp'uter' || enu këmp'uter |- | Dative || e xëmp'uter || eňa xëmp'uter'a |- | Accusative || ë këmp'uter'u || en xëmp'uter |} ==Adjective morphology== Adjectives have a simpler morphology than nouns' one. They decline according their nouns' gender and number. As the position of adjectives is always after their nouns, if they begin in consonant, their first consonant undergoes '''lenition''' if required by the ancient last vowel of the noun. If they begin with a vowel the ancient last consonant of the desinence of the nouns could be '''restored''' (and ''lenited''). We have to enlist the entire declension path of nouns and adjective together, to show the changes they both may undergo. * '''1st adjectival declension''' - Adjectives starting in consonant after a noun ending in consonant (masculine) {| |colspan=5| <center>'''bok''' (''new'')</center> |- | || colspan=2| <center>Ancient term</center> ||colspan=2| <center>Modern term</center> |- | || Singular || Plural || Singular || Plural |- | Nominative || VADOM BOKO || VADE BOKE || ë vad bok || en βad' bhoc |- | Genitive || VADI BOKI || VADOS BOKU || ë βad' bhoc || enu vad boku |- | Dative || VADON BOKI || VADIA BOKI || e βad boc || eňa βad'a bhoc |- | Accusative || VADIU BOKU || VADO BOKO || ë vad'u bhoku || en βad bhok |} * '''1st adjectival declension''' -

The consonants ㆁ, ㆆ, ㆀ and ㆅ are not stackable, and therefore left out from syllable blocks. The vowel ᆍ is also not stackable, and therefore left uncomposed. The consonant ㅀ can only appear at the tail position of a syllable block. Unstackable consonant jamo, ㅀ that is not preceded by a vowel, and any consonants that are neither preceded or followed by a vowel are written alone using the ''Hangul Compatibility Jamo'' of Unicode. So for example, the word ''sps'' (northeast wind) which contain no vowels is written ㅅㅍㅅ.<br> <br> Vowels, with the exception of ᆍ, are always used in syllable blocks. If the vowel is not preceded by any stackable consonant, the null initial is used.<br> <br> The consonants ''p'', ''t'', ''k'', and ''kw'' are represented by ㅂ, ㄷ, ㄱ resp. ㄱ in the tail position of a syllable block. == How to mark labialized consonants == There are three kinds of consonant jamo: labial (marked with <span style="color:Red">red</span> in the chart), non-labial (marked with <span style="color:Blue">blue</span>) and neutral (black text), and two kinds of vowels: labial and neutral. The labial consonants are identical to their non-labial counterparts, so they are instead distinguished by the use of vowels before them.<br> <br> Labial vowels are used if they are followed by a labial consonant, otherwise neutral vowels are used. There may be any number of neutral consonants between the labial vowel and the labial consonant. There may <u>not</u> be any other vowels or non-labial consonants between them. They must also be both in the same word.<br> <br> 낏마ㅜ For example, in the word ''k'ismaw'' (nine), the vowel ''a'' is followed by the labial consonant ''w'', so the ''a'' is represented by the labial jamo ㅏ. The ''i'' however is not followed by any labial consonant before the second vowel, so it is represented by the neutral vowel ㅣ.<br> <br> Word-final ''i'' is written with ㅣ however, if preceded by ''k'', ''k''' or ''c''.<br> <br> In cases where a labial consonant is in such a position that its labialness can not be marked on any vowel, the jamo ㅱ is placed before that consonant. == Other notes == ''w'' and ''y'' are written with the w- and y-series of vowel jamo, if they are followed by a vowel. If not, then w is written as ㅜ and y as ㅣ (both without any null initial).<br> <br> Long vowels are marked by putting : (double dot bangjeom, U+302F) after the jamo or syllable block. Stress is unmarked. == Text samples == === From Wikipedia === '''clhp'xwlhtlhplhhskwts''''<br> ''he had had in his possession a bunchberry plant''<br> ㆅㅀㅃㅱㅆㅀㅌㅀㅍㅀㅀㅅㅱㅋㅉ === From some source === {| !

Solaric dialects are also spoken in many orbital colonies and on Luna. =Phonology= Syllable structure is (F|L|N)(C)(C)(F|L|N)(w|y)V(C)(C)<br> Every polysyllabic word is mildly stressed on the second syllable. There is a simple lexical tone system; a short vowel can have a rising, falling, or neutral tone; a long vowel or diphthong can have a rising-falling, falling-rising, or neutral tone. ==Consonants== {| || ||Labial||Labio-Dental||Alveolar||Palatal||Velar||Glottal |- ||Plosives, lenis||p '''b'''|| ||t '''d''' ts '''ds'''||ʧ '''j'''||k '''g'''|| |- ||Plosives, fortis ||pʰ '''p'''|| ||tʰ '''t''' tsʰ '''ts'''||ʧʰ '''c'''||kʰ '''k'''|| |- ||Nasals, voiced ||m '''m'''|| ||n '''n'''|| || || |- ||Nasals, unvoiced ||m̥ '''mh'''|| ||n̥ '''nh'''|| || || |- ||Fricatives, unvoiced || ||f '''f'''||s '''s'''||ʃ '''sh'''|| ||h '''h''' |- ||Fricatives, voiced || ||v '''v'''||z '''z'''||ʒ '''zh'''||ɣ '''r'''|| |- ||Laterals|| || ||ɫ '''l''' ɬˠ '''lh'''|| || || |- ||Trills|| || ||r '''rr'''|| || || |- ||Semivowels ||w '''w'''|| || ||j '''y''' ɥ '''wy'''|| || |- |} Among plosives, only lenis plosives occur in the syllable coda. /r/ is realized as a flap intervocalically. /n/ assimilates to the point of articulation of a following consonant. /ɣ/ devoices when following a fortis stop.

Prepositions are also inflected for number and case agreement. ====Basic Noun Phrase structure==== QUANTIFIER NEG-CASE-NUMBER.DEFINITENESS-NOUN NUMBER-CASE-COMPARISON-ADJ ===Gender=== Solaric nouns fall into 2 genders: Animate and Inanimate. Animate nouns include people (including non-biological intelligences), animals, personifications, deities, planets with life, rivers, boats, and spacecraft. Inanimate nouns include everything else.

Obligatory Contour Principle 7275 52045 2010-02-24T21:54:36Z Tropylium 756 examples In [[phonology]], the '''Obligatory Contour Principle''' is a general principle stating that two identical features should not occur in succession. Examples: * A sequence of two identical vowels must either be broken up by [[hiatus]] or coalesce into a [[long vowel]]; they may not form a [[diphthong]]. ** Similarly, diphthongs of the type /ij/ or /uw/ are practically unheard of; /ji/ and /wu/ are also prohibited by several languages, or at least do not contrast with /i/ and /u/ (English is one exception: cf. ''yeast'' vs. ''east'') * In [[Tone|tonal]] languages, adjacent syllables may not be marked for the same tone; in cases where this situation is found phonetically, it is analysed in terms of tone spreading, word tone or pitch accent. * Languages commonly prohibit [[Consonant cluster|clusters]] of similar consonants, especially of two [[sibilant]]s. The OCP also accounts for the cross-linguistic rarity of [[root]]s containing several identical consonants (with the exception of [[baby-talk]] words such as ''mama, papa, nana, daddy, booboo, peepee, titty'', which may fall under primitive [[reduplication]]). The motivation of sound changes involving [[dissimilation]] may be included under the OCP. {{stub}} [[Category: Phonology]] Alurhsa 7276 51972 2010-02-21T01:30:50Z Halyihev 1368 Created page with 'The Alurhsa Language, sometimes known in English as Aluric, is the only official language of the planet Alurhna or Aluria, and is spoken by the entire population.

This language was originally an artificial one, being constructed at the time of the Enesnerrëvensës or Unification to serve as a vehicle for uniting the people. Alurhsa was developed by tracing back the historical forms and roots of the several languages spoken around the planet at the time, and then using those most ancient root and grammatical forms to create the language. Since then, it has evolved into a more natural language, while still retaining much of its regularity and ease, at least to the Alurhsa people.

In the ages following Unification, it was eventually supplanted as a mother tongue by [[Alurhsa]]. Tariatta belongs to the Galar-Vesul language family, and is characterized by a much simplified sound system, minimal verb conjugations that make use of auxiliaries and particles, and loss of much noun and all adjective declension compared with older Alurhnan languages.

No turns may be taken unless there are at least four current participants. ==Participants== ===Current Participants=== * [[User:DCliche|Kenner Gordon]] * [[User:Kicgan Vekei|Shair Ahmed]] * Kelvin Jackson * [[User:PeteBleackley|Peter Bleackley]] * [[User:Calculator Ftvb|Calculator Ftvb]] It is [[User:DCliche|Kenner Gordon]]'s turn. ===Possible Participants=== These people have displayed interest, but ambiguously; they may or may not actually wish to join. * Karen Badham * Benct Philip Jonsson ===Former Participants=== — ==Sound Changes== Each of the "stages" below represents a full round, except the first, which is a group of sound changes from Classical Latin to approximate [[Vulgar Latin]]. ===Stage 1=== * a: > a * e > ɛ * e: > e * i > e * i: > i * o > ɔ * o: > o * u > o * u: > u * y > i * y: > i * ai > ɛ * oi > e * n > Ø / _(f,v,s) * h > Ø * w > β * b > β / V_(V,r) * m > Ø / _# * m > n / in certain monosyllabic words * (e,i) > j / _V * u > w / _V * VV > V * V > ˈV / ˈ(i,e)_ * V > ˈV / _C*ˈuV ===Stage 2=== * [fricative] > Ø / V_V * n > r / V_V * g > ɣ / V_(V, r) * s(p,t,k) > (b,d,g) ===Stage 3=== * (k,g) > (ʧ,ʤ) / _(front vowel) * s > h / #_V * u > ʉ * a > æ / _[+anterior] * e > ɞ ===Stage 4=== * i > ʉ * ɛ > æ * [single stop] > [fricative] / (V, r, l)_V * β > h / _(unstressed vowel) * l > λ ===Stage 5=== * j > λ * (kw, gw) > (p, b) * o > u * (ˈʉ,ˈɞ) > (ˈy,ˈœ) * u > ɯ ===Stage 6=== * a > ɑ / #_ * ɣ > v * ɔ > ɤ * (ʉ,ɞ,a) >∅ / _[+sonorant] * λ > ʎ̥˔ ===Stage 7=== * s > Ø / _# * [alveolar]r > [retroflex] * [geminate consonant] > [single consonant] * (y,œ) > (i,ɛ) / [-labial]_[-labial] * r > ʟ ===Stage 8=== * ʟ > l * h > ħ / _a * h > ç / _[front vowel] * (ʉ,ɞ) > (u, ɔ) * ɑ > ɒ ===Stage 9=== * l > λ > ʎ̥˔ * h > Ø * (ɯ, ɤ) > (ɨ, ɜ) * VV > VɾV * u > ʏ ===Stage 10=== * ɨ > ə * ɜ > ʌ * ɔ > o * ʎ̥˔ > çl > _V * ø > ɵ ===Stage 11=== * æ > ja * ə > ∅ /_# * ç > j / V_[voiced consonant, V} * ʎ̥˔ > lç > V_ * ʌ > ɔ ===Stage 12=== * back vowel > front vowel / #_ * (çl, lç) > ɬ * tj, dj > ʧ, ʤ * ɾj > l * ja > ɛ ===Stage 13=== * ʧ ʤ > ʃ ʒ * ʃ > x / #_ * j, jj > ʒ * f > θ / _[-round] * l > ɬ ===Stage 14=== * θ f v > t p b /#_ * ɫʒ, ʒɫ > ɮ * ə > Ø / [unstressed] * t d > θ ð ** ʈ ɖ > tt l / V_V ** ʈ ɖ > t d otherwise * ɮ > ɬ̢ ==Proposals== Perhaps we could allow people to do grammatical changes (i.e. "Syntax changes to V2", "Nominative becomes ergative and accusative becomes absolutive", etc.) instead of sound changes if they wish. [[User:DCliche|DCliche]] 23:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC) :I've taken the liberty of posting conjugation and declension tables so that we may see what peoposed grammatical changes may be based on. [[User:Kicgan Vekei|Kicgan Vekei]] 17:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC) ::Based on what the sounds changes have produced, I think these changes, at the very least, have happened: *Elimination of ablative case in both nouns and pronouns *Elimination of accusative case in nouns, but keeping it in pronouns *Merging dative case with genitive in nouns *Merging ɛ, æa, ɛd with ɛk, æk, ɤk *Elimination of vocative case in nouns and pronouns What think ye? [[User:Kicgan Vekei|Kicgan Vekei]] 19:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC) Sounds good; what would the new dato-genitive case be called, though? [[User:DCliche|DCliche]] 20:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC) The dato-genitive case would probably be called "indirect." What about the verbs? I'm working on those right now, actually. Once I'm done I'll put up a list of proposals. [[User:Kicgan Vekei|Kicgan Vekei]] 22:47, 14 March 2010 (UTC) :I'm not quite done yet, but I suggest that ħ spread among all imperfect endings and ç spread among all perfect endings by analogy. What think ye? [[User:Kicgan Vekei|Kicgan Vekei]] 03:16, 15 March 2010 (UTC) ::Makes sense. [[User:DCliche|DCliche]] 19:27, 19 March 2010 (UTC) The phonology should solidify sometime within the next few rounds, so that we can get a good idea of what the grammar is becoming. ==Declension== {| class="wikitable" | width="360px" ! rowspan="2" | !colspan="2"| '''pəɛʒɬa <br> ''girl'' f.''' |- !

Moreover ambiguity is only one of the objections to the term which were put forward, which were by my count four: # It's ambiguous with "jokelang". # It is not descriptive. # This kind of conlang is at least not more bogus than other kinds. #: It should be noted that although [[User:Melroch|I]] got some support from [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg]], who was the one who made this observation, for my opinion (still held, BTW) that bogolangs ''are'' especially unrealistic in the sense that a mixed language of this kind is extremely unlikely to arise in the real world, I don't think any of us thinks that this constitutes enough ground to single them out as especially bogus. # It sounds pejorative. #: It seems some find that appropriate, but then it is probably true that no conlanger is interested in all kinds of conlang, and that for every kind you will find some who actively dislike it! NB that neither I nor Jörg considered their possible especial unrealism an objection against these langs, though Jörg observed that the bogolang technique is "sometimes used a crutch a conlanger may take recourse to when he runs out of ideas for a plausible historical phonology", but cheapness does not make them especially bogus either! Also I don't think that terms should be italicized rather than scare-quoted: it is not like any term is used in a metaphorical sense or misappropriated (except possibly ''dialang''). A link to the CONLANG thread is also desirable. What about something like: In a [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0912C&L=CONLANG&P=R12476&D=0 discussion on the CONLANG mailing list] during December 2009, the term ''bogolang'' was found to be inadequate various grounds: * At a glance ''bogolang'' seems to have the same meaning as ''[[jokelang]]''. * This kind of conlang is at least not more bogus than other kinds. * The term sounds pejorative. Though not everyone agreed on all these objections most participants agreed that another term would be desirable, and alternatives such as ''dialang'' (which however may also mean [[diachronic conlang]] or 'dialect of a conlang', and has been used in at least the latter sense [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0802C&L=CONLANG&P=R1736&D=0]) and ''graftlang'' were proposed but so far no proposed alternative has caught on." This references myself a lot, so I'm loth to just go ahead and make the edit. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 17:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC) === Hybrilang / Hybridlang === What about ''hybrilang'': they were described as hybrids in the CONLANG discussion [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0912D&L=CONLANG&D=0&P=16011] and I think everyone would agree that is a defining characteristic. [[User:Melroch|BPJ]] 17:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC) : I think this name fits quite well, and it's connotationally neutral. However, I see no need to drop the ''-d'', so my suggestion would be ''hybridlang''. [[User:Cedh audmanh|cedh audmanh]] 19:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC) === Dialang === I'm afraid it was I who used ''dialang'' in the sense of 'conlang dialect', and I should perhaps clarify that I more specifically meant 'dialect of a conlang created because the author can't or won't decide whether to adopt a design change or choose between alternative design changes'.

Any zeros following these higher number words are ignored until a non-zero number is found. *'''vuet''' :vuet :''thousand'' :one thousand *'''vetvervuetviv''' :vet-ver-vuet-viv :''one-eight-thousand-five'' :eighteen thousand and five *'''vetvervuetvivvan''' :vet-ver-vuet-viv-van :''one-eight-thousand-five-zero'' :eighteen thousand and fifty ==Adjectives== Adjectives immediately precede the word they modify. *'''Tucboc''' :tuc-boc :''old-rock'' :an old rock Multiple adjectives stack, though the order of the adjectives does not matter *'''Taintucboc''' :tain-tuc-boc :''gray-old-rock'' :an old gray rock *'''Tuctainboc''' :tuc-tain-boc :''old-gray-rock'' :an old gray rock ===Possessives=== Possessives are formed by using a name or pronoun as an adjective, again word order does not matter. *'''Muctaintucboc''' :muc-tain-tuc-boc :''my-gray-old-rock'' :my old gray rock *'''Taintucmucboc''' :tain-tuc-muc-boc :''gray-old-my-rock'' :my old gray rock ===Negation=== Adjectives are negated by the use of the prefix "ta," which immediately precedes the adjective it negates. *'''Tataintucmucboc''' :ta.tain-tuc-muc-boc :''NEG.gray-old-my-rock'' :my old non-gray rock *'''Taintuctamucboc''' :tain-tuc-ta.muc-boc :''gray-old-NEG.my-rock'' :the old gray rock that isn't mine ===Comparisons=== The compartitive forms of adjectives are formed by adding the prefix "in" for positive comparisons, and "fen" for negative comparisons. Ancaron has no superlative forms for positive or negative comparisons. Like the negation prefix, these prefixes immediately precede the adjective they modify. *'''Tainintucboc''' :tain-in-tuc-boc :''gray-more-old-rock'' :the older gray rock *'''Tainfentucboc''' :tain-fen-tuc-boc :''gray-less-old-rock'' :the less old gray rock Sentence forms of comparison are created using " padi " (with spaces) to link the two parts of the comparison together, and it is used for both "more than," "less than," and "as ___ as" comparisons. *'''intucboc padi muc''' :in-tuc-boc padi muc :''more-old-rock than me'' :a rock older than me *'''fentucon padi muc''' :fen-tuc-on padi muc :''less-old-person than me'' :a person younger than me *'''tucon padi muc''' :tuc-on padi muc :''old-person as me'' :a person as old as me ===Intensification=== Ancaron adjectives are intensified by the reduplication of the adjective in question. The reduplicated adjective must stay together as one part, but otherwise word order does not matter as with other adjectives. *'''Taintucboc''' :tain-tuc-boc :''gray-old-rock'' :the old gray rock *'''Taintuctucboc''' :tain-tuc-tuc-boc :''gray-old-old-rock'' :the very old gray rock *'''Taintaintucboc''' :tain-tain-tuc-boc :''gray-gray-old-rock'' :the very gray old rock *'''Taintaintuctucboc''' :tain-tain-tuc-tuc-boc :''gray-gray-old-old-rock'' :the very old, very gray rock ==Verbs== Ancaron verbs mark the subject as a suffix and the direct object as a prefix, forming a OVS word order. *'''Bocpunmuc.''' :boc-pun-muc :''rock-hold-I'' :I hold a rock. ===Tense=== Ancaron has three tenses, past, present, and future. The tense marker immediately precedes the verb, falling after the object. ====Present tense==== The present tense marker is "dop," though it is optional as it is assumed if no tense markers are present. The present tense is used for any action that is currently happening. *'''Bocdoppunmuc.''' :boc-dop.pun-muc :''rock-PRS.hold-I'' :I hold a rock. ====Future tense==== The future tense marker is "civ." The future tense is used for any action that is not currently happening, but will be happening sometime in the future. *'''Boccivpunmuc.''' :boc-civ.pun-muc :''rock-FUT.hold-I'' :I will hold a rock. ====Past tense==== The past tense marker is "don." The past tense is used for any action that is not currently happening, but has already happened. *'''Bocdonpunmuc.''' :boc-don.pun-muc :''rock-PST.hold-I'' :I held a rock. ===Negation=== Like negation of adjectives, negation of verbs is done with the prefix "ta." The negative prefix precedes the tense marker and follows the direct object. *'''Boctapunmuc.''' :boc-ta.pun-muc :''rock-NEG.hold-I'' :I am not holding a rock. *'''Boctacivpunmuc.''' :boc-ta.civ.pun-muc :''rock-NEG.FUT.hold-I'' :I will not hold a rock. ===Indirect Objects=== The indirect object follows the verb and subject as a separate word. *'''Boccivsipunmuc Mardon.''' :boc-civ.sipun-muc Mardon :''rock-FUT.throw-I Mardon'' :I will toss the rock to Mardon. ===The Copula=== Ancaron has no copula verbs, rather they are replaced by the use of nouns or adjectives acting as verbs. *'''Tucboc.''' :tuc-boc :''old-rock'' :The rock is old. (Lit: The rock olds.) *'''Boczain.''' :boc-zain :''rock-that'' :That is a rock. (Lit: That rocks.) The construction "There is" or "There are" is replaced with the verb "danas," which means "to exist." *'''Danasboc''' :danas-boc :''exist-rock'' :There is a rock. (Lit: A rock exists.) ==Adverbs== Adverbs preceed the verb they modify, and are located between the direct object and the negation of the verb, assuming they exist. *'''Boctortacivsipunmuc.''' :boc-tor-ta.civ.sipun-muc :''rock-quickly-NEG.FUT.throw-I'' :I will not quickly throw the rock. Multiple adverbs stack, and like with adjectives, word order does not matter *'''Boctordopubcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-tor-dopub-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-quickly-today-FUT.throw-I'' :I will quickly throw the rock today. *'''Bocdopubtorcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-dopub-tor-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-today-quickly-FUT.throw-I'' :I will quickly throw the rock today. ===Negation=== Like verbs and adjectives, adverbs are negated by the use of the prefix "ta," which immediately precedes the adverb it negates. *'''Boctadopubtorcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-ta.dopub-tor-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-NEG.today-quickly-FUT.throw-I'' :I will quickly throw the rock, but not today. *'''Bocdopubtatorcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-dopub-ta.tor-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-today-NEG.quickly-FUT.throw-I'' :I will throw the rock today, but not quickly. ===Comparisons=== The compartitive forms of adverbs are formed just like the adjective versions, by adding the prefix "in" for positive comparisons, and "fen" for negative comparisons. As before, there are no superlatives and the prefixes immediately precede the adverb they modify. *'''torsipun''' :tor-sipun :''quickly-throw'' :to quickly throw *'''intorsipun''' :in-tor-sipun :''more-quickly-throw'' :to throw more quickly *'''fentorsipun''' :fen-tor-sipun :''less-quickly-throw'' :to throw less quickly Also as with adjectives, sentence forms of comparison are created using " padi " (with spaces) to link the two parts of the comparison together, and it is used for both "more than," "less than," and "as ___ as" comparisons. However, they are linked together somewhat differently, with the two objects mentioned in the comparison, as well as the "padi," are the subject with the verb form being as above. The object that comes first in the English comparison also comes first in the Ancaron one, and is the one that is actually attached to the verb. *'''_<adverbal comparison>_et padi muc.''' :_<adverbal comparison>_-et padi muc :''_<adverbal comparison>_-it than I'' :he _<adverbal comparison>_ than I (_<verb>_). *'''Intorsipunet padi muc.''' :in-tor-sipun-et padi muc :''more-quickly-throw-it than I'' :he throws more quickly than I (throw). *'''Fentorsipunet padi muc.''' :fen-tor-sipun-et padi muc :''less-quickly-throw-it than I'' :he throws less quickly than I (throw). *'''Torsipunet padi muc.''' :tor-sipun-et padi muc :''quickly-throw-it as I'' :he throws as quickly as I (throw). ===Intensification=== Ancaron adverbs, like the adjectives, are intensified by the reduplication of the adverb in question. The reduplicated adverb must stay together as one part, but otherwise word order does not matter as with other adverb. *'''Boctordopubcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-tor-dopub-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-quickly-today-FUT.throw-I'' :I will quickly throw the rock today. *'''Boctortordopubcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-tor-tor-dopub-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-quickly-quickly-today-FUT.throw-I'' :I will very quickly throw the rock today. *'''Boctordopubdopubcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-tor-dopub-dopub-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-quickly-today-FUT.throw-I'' :I will quickly throw the rock '''today'''. *'''Boctortordopubdopubcivsipunmuc.''' :boc-tor-tor-dopub-dopub-civ.sipun-muc :''rock-quickly-today-FUT.throw-I'' :I will very quickly throw the rock '''today'''. ==Nouns== Ancaron words can vary their parts of speech, meaning that some words that can be considered verbs or adjectives can be used as nouns as well. *'''pun''' ''to hold, a hand'' *'''sipun''' ''to throw, a throw'' *'''boc''' ''rocky, a rock'' ===Negation=== Like basically everything else, nouns can be negated with the prefix "ta," which immediately precedes the noun. *'''taboc''' :ta.boc :''NEG.rock'' :not a rock ===Plurals=== To make a word plural, add the unspecific plural prefix "car." Plural markers precede the negation prefix. *'''boc''' :boc :''rock'' :rock *'''carboc''' :car.boc :''PLR.rock'' :rocks *'''cartaboc''' :car.ta.boc :''PLR.NEG.rock'' :some non-rocks Alternatively, numbers can be used instead to for a specific plural. *'''vucboc''' :vuc.on :''three.rock'' :three rocks "In" is also used as a plural prefix as well to represent large amounts but remaining unspecific in total number. *'''inboc''' :in.boc :''many.rock'' :many rocks Likewise, "fen" is used as an unspecific plural prefix to represent small numbers. *'''fenbocc''' :fen.boc :''few.rock'' :a few rocks The plural markers are positioned after any adjectives the noun has. *'''taivcarboc''' :taiv-car.boc :''gray-PLR.rock'' :some gray rocks ===Comparisons=== "In" and "fed" can be used to make comparisons with nouns as well, using the prefixes as plurals with the addition of " padi ". *'''Danasinnan padi carnin.''' :danas-in.nan padi car.nin :''exist-more.boy than PLR.girl'' :There are more boys than girls. *'''Danasfennan padi carnin.''' :danas-in.nan padi car.nin :''exist-less.boy than PLR.girl'' :There are less boys than girls. *'''Danascarnan padi carnin.''' :danas-in.nan padi car.nin :''exist-PLR.boy as PLR.girl'' :There are as many boys as girls. Numbers can also be used in these comparisons for a specific difference. *'''Danasvetnan padi carnin.''' :danas-vet.nan padi car.nin :''exist-one.boy than PLR.girl'' :There is one more boy than there are girls. However, there is no simple way of flipping comparisons with specific plurals around, meaning you can't say, for example "There is one less boy than there are girls." Instead, the comparison itself has to be flipped around. *'''Danasvetnin padi carnan.''' :danas-vet.nin padi car.nan :''exist-one.girl than PLR.boy'' :There is one more girl than there are boys. ===Compound nouns=== Compound nouns are formed much like adjective stacks, however word order does matter with noun stacks. *'''bacpub''' ''space'' *'''bacmun''' ''tunnel'' *'''bacpubbacmun''' :bacpub-bacmun :''space-tunnel'' :wormhole *'''bacmunbacpub''' :bacmun-bacpub :''tunnel-space'' :tunnel space The compound noun is treated like a single noun for prefixes and adjectives. *'''taincartabacpubbacmun''' :tain-car.ta.bacpub-bacmun :''gray-PLR.NEG.space-tunnel'' :some gray non-wormholes ==Pronouns== ===Personal pronouns=== Ancaron has 3 basic personal pronouns. *'''muc''' ''I, me'' *'''doc''' ''you'' *'''et''' ''he, she, it, him, her'' Plural forms are generated using "car." *'''carmuc''' ''we, us'' *'''cardoc''' ''you all'' *'''caret''' ''they, them'' *'''Bocpunet.''' :boc-pun-et :''rock-hold-it'' :He is holding the rock. Ancaron is a pro-drop language, meaning that any pronouns whose existence can be determined from context can be omitted. *'''Civsipun.''' :civ.sipun :''FUT.throw'' :'''He''' will throw '''it'''. "Etcivsipunet." is equivalent to the above example with the pronouns left in. Both versions are grammatical, though the first is more common in general speech. Generally, however, it comes down to the speaker or writers preference as to whether or not the pronouns are dropped. Pronouns have been left in the examples on this page to make learning easier. Ancaron pronouns do not change forms when acting as different parts of speech. *'''Bocpunmuc.''' :boc-pun-muc :''rock-hold-I'' :I am holding the rock. *'''Bocdonsipundoc muc.''' :boc-don-sipun-doc muc :''rock-PST.throw-you me'' :You tossed the rock to me. ===Reflexive pronouns=== Ancaron reflexive pronouns are created with the addition of the prefix "zig." *'''zigmuc''' ''myself'' *'''zigdoc''' ''yourself'' *'''ziget''' ''himself, herself, itself'' *'''carzigmuc''' ''ourselves'' *'''carzigdoc''' ''yourselves'' *'''carziget''' ''themselves'' Sometimes it is not needed in the sentence, and is simply there to provide more information. In this case, the sentence is grammatically correct without it. *'''Bocdonsipunmuc zigmuc.''' :boc-don-sipun-muc zigmuc :''rock-PST.throw-I myself'' :I tossed the rock to myself. *'''Bocdonsipunmuc.''' :boc-don-sipun-muc :''rock-PST.throw-I'' :I tossed the rock. In other cases, the sentence is not grammatical without the reflexive pronoun. *'''Zigetsimapet.''' :ziget-simap-et :''itself-dress-it'' :He dresses himself. *'''Simapet.''' :simap-et :''dress-it'' :He dresses... ??? Note that the sentence only needs an object, it doesn't have to be a reflexive pronoun. *'''Etsimapet.''' :et-simap-et :''it-dress-it'' :He dresses him. (someone else) ====Reciprocal pronouns==== ===Possessive pronouns=== Ancaron possessive pronouns are created with the addition of the prefix "si." *'''simuc''' ''mine'' *'''sidoc''' ''yours'' *'''siet''' ''his, hers, its'' *'''carsimuc''' ''ours'' *'''carsidoc''' ''yours'' *'''carsiet''' ''theirs'' *'''Carsimucboc.''' :car.simuc-boc :''PLR.mine-rock'' :The rock is ours. However the possessive adjectives use the standard personal pronouns, and are used like any other adjective. *'''Carmucbocet.''' :car.muc-boc-et :''PLR.my-rock-it'' :It is our rock. ===Interrogative pronouns=== *'''pui''' ''what, which'' *'''pai''' ''who, whom, whose'' *'''pi''' ''when'' *'''bau''' ''where'' *'''bou''' ''how'' *'''bao''' ''why'' *'''puitus''' ''how many, how much'' Word order when using interrogative pronouns is unchanged from the standard OVS(O) word order. *'''Puisipunet?''' :pui-sipun-et? :''what-throw-it'' :What did he throw? *'''Bocsipunet pai?''' :boc-sipun-et pai? :''rock-throw-it whom'' :To whom did he toss the rock? *'''Bocsipunpai et?''' :boc-sipun-pai et? :''rock-throw-who it'' :Who tossed the rock to him? *'''Puisipunpai pai?''' :pui-sipun-pai pai? :''what-throw-who whom'' :Who threw what to whom? These pronouns can also modify nouns or verbs like adjectives or adverbs. "Pui," "puitus," and "pai" modify nouns, while the others modify verbs. *'''Puibocsipunet?''' :pui-boc-sipun-et? :''what-rock-throw-it'' :Which rock did he throw? *'''Paibocsipunet?''' :pai-boc-sipun-et? :''whose-rock-throw-it'' :Whose rock did he throw? *'''Puitusbocsipunet?''' :puitus-boc-sipun-et? :''how_many-rock-throw-it'' :How many rocks did he throw? *'''Bocbaosipunet?''' :boc-bao-sipun-et? :''rock-why-throw-it'' :Why did he throw the rock? *'''Bocbousipunet?''' :boc-bou-sipun-et? :''rock-how-throw-it'' :How did he throw the rock? *'''Bocbausipunet?''' :boc-bau-sipun-et? :''rock-where-throw-it'' :Where did he throw the rock? *'''Bocpisipunet?''' :boc-pi-sipun-et? :''rock-when-throw-it'' :When did he throw the rock? ===Demonstrative pronouns=== ===Relative pronouns=== ===Indefinate pronouns=== ==Prepositions== ==Conjuntions== ==Imperitive== =Lexicon and other vocab lists= *[[Ancaron/Lexicon|Lexicon]] *[[Ancaron/Body Parts|Body parts]] *[[Ancaron/Colors|Colors]] *[[Ancaron/Cor list|Cor list]] [[Category:A_priori_conlangs]] [[Category:Ancaron]] Ilien 7300 53919 2010-04-28T23:24:08Z Calculator Ftvb 1373 wl y '''Ilien''' is a conworld, in the same universe as Earth.

Its name is alternatively transliterated as ''Anoej'' (this is standard when the character ''é'' is not available) or as ''Anoey''. It is written, traditionally, using the various [[Anoé scripts]]. == History == Developed by [[Ȿereⱨ-Ɒnnçⱺjla|Ȿereⱨ-Ɒnnçⱺjléten]] scholars in approximately -5410, replacing [[Ȿȿűnéaɠ]]. Superseded by [[Anóé]], a derivative of it, 2203.125. == Grammar == All sentences are of the form (Subject)(Object)(Verb). [[File:Anoé.begin.png]] and [[File:Anoé.end.png]] should be used to group modifiers to avoid ambiguity, as in mathematics. An example sentence: [[File:Anoé.Vené-en-zéal tlaém-én-lotez ló.png]] Transliteration: Vené-en-zéal tlaém-én-lotez ló. Meaning: Writing a letter is a form of interaction. Literal translation: Letter-to-write (a-type-of)-to-interact is. == Pronunciation == [[File:Tuillal_l.png]] is pronounced as l/y before a vowel and as l before a consonant or the end of the sentence.

[[Description of Litoria]] Description of Litoria 7307 52183 2010-03-06T04:18:36Z Caeruleancentaur 11 /* Introduction */ ===Introduction=== *Litoria is a terrestrial planet, the second planet from its primary, and the second-largest of the three planets in its solar system. At .738 Earth masses, it is slightly smaller than the planet Venus. It is the only planet in its solar system within the habitable zone and thus capable of sustaining life. *The inner planet of the system is a small lifeless planet not unlike Mercury. The outer planet is a large gas giant like Jupiter. *Physical characteristics: **mean radius 4,778.25 km **mean circumference 30,023.66 km **flattening .0024887 **surface area 29,081,890 km2 ***land 17,158,315 km2 (59%) ***water 11,923,574 km2 (41%) **volume 456,674,562,012 km3 **mass **escape velocity 8.2 km/s **sidereal rotation period 0d 25h 0m 38.2s **axial tilt 11.250989° **surface temperature ***minimum -85.4°C ***mean -12.0°C ***maximum 60.2°C **surface pressure 90.2 kPa **atmosphere composition ***nitrogen 76% ***oxygen 22% ***argon 0.9% ***carbon dioxide 0.1% ***water vapor 1.0% *Orbital characteristics: **aphelion 147,280,599.28 km **perihelion 143,098,003.47 km **semi-major axis 145,189,301.38 km **eccentricity 0.0072 **orbital period 360.001 days **mean orbital speed **inclination 1.2° to sun’s equator *The planet was formed 3.5 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within a billion years. Since then, Litoria's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic microorganisms as well as the formation of an ozone layer which, together with Litoria’s magnetic field, blocks harmful radiation, permitting life on land. The physical properties of Litoria, as well as its geological history and orbit, have allowed life to persist during this period. Litoria is expected to continue supporting life for another 1.5 billion years, after which the rising luminosity of its sun will eliminate the biosphere. *Litoria's outer surface is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that gradually migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. About 41% of the surface is covered with a salt-water ocean, the remainder consisting of one supercontinent and a few scattered islands. Litoria's interior remains active, with a thick layer of relatively solid mantle, a liquid outer core that generates a magnetic field, and a solid iron inner core. ===Chronology=== *The earliest dated solar system material is dated to 3.5529 ± 0.0006 billion years ago, and by 3.54 billion years ago Litoria and its two companion planets in the solar system formed out of the solar nebula, a disk-shaped mass of dust and gas left over from the formation of the sun. This assembly of Litoria through accretion was largely completed within 10–20 million years. Initially molten, the outer layer of Litoria cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The moons formed shortly thereafter, 2.96 billion years ago. *Litoria's two natural satellites provide ocean tides, stabilize the axial tilt and gradually slow the planet's rotation. Obviously, the larger moon exerts more of a force than the smaller. The moons were formed as a result of a large object with about 10% of Litoria's mass impacting Litoria in a glancing blow. Some of this object's mass would have merged with Litoria and a portion would have been ejected into space, but enough material would have been sent into orbit to form the larger nearer moon and the smaller farther moon. *Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice and liquid water delivered by asteroids and the larger proto-planets and comets produced the oceans. The newly-formed sun was only 70% of its present luminosity, but a combination of greenhouse gasses and higher levels of solar activity served to raise Litoria's surface temperature, preventing the ocean from freezing over. *There was a rapid initial growth of the continental crust followed by a long-term steady continental area. Over several hundreds of millions of years, the surface continually reshaped as continents formed and broke up. The continents migrated across the surface, occasionally combining to form a supercontinent. The present supercontinent recombined roughly 300–250 million years ago. ===Evolution of life=== *Highly energetic chemistry produced a self-replicating molecule around 3.3 billion years ago, and 0.5 billion years later the last common ancestor of all life existed. The development of photosynthesis allowed the sun's energy to be harvested directly by life forms; the resultant oxygen accumulated in the atmosphere and formed in a layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The incorporation of smaller cells within larger ones resulted in the develoopment of complex cells called eukaryotes. True multicellular organisms formed as cells within colonies became increasingly specialized. Aided by the absorption of harmful ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, life colonized the surface of Litoria. Evolution has followed a path similar to that on planet Earth up until the only mass extinction recorded in the geology of the planet. The cause of the extinction is not yet known, but it occurred before the evolution of mammals and eliminated the large dinosaurs and reptiles. Life on Litoria today consists of all the familiar terrestrial animal classes with the exception of Mammalia. *The present pattern of ice ages began about 50 million years ago. The polar regions have since undergone repeated cycles of glaciation and thaw, repeating approximately every 100,000 years. The last ice age ended 20,000 years ago. ===Composition and structure=== *Litoria is a terrestrial planet, meaning that it is a rocky body. It is the larger of the two terrestrial planets in size and mass. Of these two planets, Litoria also has the highest density, the highestsurface gravity, the strongest magnetic field, and the fastest rotation. It is also the only planet with active plate tectonics. ===Shape=== *The shape of Litoria is very close to that of an oblate spheroid, a sphere squished along the orientation from pole to pole such that there is a bulge around the equator. This bulge results from the rotation of Litoria, and causes the diameter at the equator to be 68 km longer than the pole to pole diameter. The average diameter of the reference spheroid is about 9,556.5 km. ===Chemical composition=== *The mass of Litoria is approximately 5.98 × 1024 kg. It is composed mostly of iron (33.3%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (14.2%), magnesium (14.1%), sulfur (2.6%), nickel (1.5%), calcium (1.3%), and aluminum (1.8%); with the remaining 1.1% consisting of trace amounts of other elements. Due to mass segregation, the core region is composed of iron (91.8%), with smaller amounts of nickel (4.8%), sulfur (3.3%), and 1% trace elements. ===Internal structure=== *The interior of Litoria is divided into layers by their chemical or physical properties. The outer layer of Litoria is a chemically distinct silicate solid crust, which is underlain by a highly viscous solid mantle. The crust is separated from the mantle by a thin layer. The thickness of the crust varies, averaging 6 km under the oceans and 30–50 km on the continents. The crust and the cold, rigid, top of the upper mantle are collectively known as the lithosphere, and it is of the lithosphere that the tectonic plates are comprised. Beneath the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, a relatively low-viscosity layer on which the lithosphere rides. Important changes in crystal structure within the mantle occur at 410 and 660 kilometers below the surface, spanning a transition zone that separates the upper and lower mantle. Beneath the mantle, an extremely low viscosity liquid outer core lies above a solid inner core. The inner core rotates at a slightly higher angular velocity than the remainder of the planet, advancing by 0.1–0.5° per year. ===Heat=== *Litoria's internal heat comes from a combination of residual heat from planetary accretion (about 20%) and heat produced through radioactive decay (80%). The major heat-producing isotopes in Litoria are potassium-40, uranium-238, uranium-235, and thorium-232. At the center of the planet, the temperature may be up to 7,000 K and the pressure could reach 360 GPa. Because much of the heat is provided by radioactive decay, scientists believe that early in Litoria history, before isotopes with short half-lives had been depleted, Litoria's heat production would have been much higher. This extra heat production, twice present-day at approximately 3 billion years ago,[63] would have increased temperature gradients within Litoria, increasing the rates of mantle convection and plate tectonics, and allowing the production of igneous rocks such as komatiites that are not formed today. *Total heat loss from Litoria is 5.1 × 1013 watts. A portion of the core's thermal energy is transported toward the crust by mantle plumes, a form of convection consisting of upwellings of higher-temperature rock. These plumes can produce hotspots and flood basalts. More of the heat in Litoria is lost through plate tectonics, by mantle upwelling associated with mid-ocean ridges. The final major mode of heat loss is through conduction through the lithosphere, the majority of which occurs in the oceans because the crust there is much thinner than that of the continents. ===Tectonic plates=== *The mechanically rigid outer layer of Litoria, the lithosphere, is broken into pieces called tectonic plates. These plates are rigid segments that move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries, convergent boundaries, at which two plates come together; divergent boundaries, at which two plates are pulled apart; and transform boundaries, in which two plates slide past one another laterally. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain building, and oceanic trench formation can occur along these plate boundaries. The tectonic plates ride on top of the asthenosphere, the solid but less viscous part of the upper mantle that can flow and move along with the plates, and their motion is strongly coupled with patterns convection inside Litoria’s mantle. *As the tectonic plates migrate across the planet, the ocean floor is subducted under the leading edges of the plates at convergent boundaries. At the same time, the upwelling of mantle material at divergent boundaries creates midocean ridges. The combination of these processes continually recycles the oceanic crust back into the mantle. Because of this recycling, most of the ocean floor is less than 100 million years in age. ===Surface=== *Litoria's terrain varies greatly from place to place. About 45% of the surface is covered by water, with much of the continental shelf below sea level. The submerged surface has mountainous features, including a mid-ocean ridge system, as well as undersea volcanoes, oceanic trenches, submarine canyons, oceanic plateaus and abyssal plains. The remaining 55% not covered by water consists of two coastal plains and foothills, two pole-to-pole mountain chains, a large inland desert and two polar icecaps, both of which are over land. *The elevation of the land surface of Litoria varies from the low point of −? m at the desert sea, to an altitude of 14,967 m at the top of the western mountain chain. ===Hydrosphere=== *Litoria's hydrosphere consists chiefly of the single ocean, but technically includes all water surfaces on the planet, including the polar ice caps, several lakes, many rivers, and underground waters down to a depth of 2,000 m. The deepest underwater location is the mid-oceanic ridge with a depth of −9,334.2 m. The average depth of the ocean is 2,700 m. About 94% of the water is saline, while the remaining 6% is fresh water. Most of the fresh water, about 74.7%, is currently ice. Sea water has an important influence on the planet's climate, with the ocean acting as a large hear reservoir. ===Atmosphere=== *The height of the troposphere varies with latitude, ranging between 9 km at the poles to 18.5 km at the equator, with some variation due to weather and seasonal factors. *Litoria's biosphere has significantly altered its atmosphere. Oxygenic photosynthesis evolved 2.4 billion years ago, forming the primarily nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere of today. This change enabled the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Litoria's magnetic field, blocks ultraviolet solar radiation, permitting life on land. Other atmospheric functions important to life on Litoria include transporting water vapor, providing useful gases, causing small meteors to burn up before they strike the surface, and moderating temperature. This last phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. Trace molecules within the atmosphere serve to capture thermal energy emitted from the ground, thereby raising the average temperature. Carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane and ozone are the primary greenhouse gases in Litoria's atmosphere. ====Weather and climate==== *Litoria's atmosphere has no definite boundary, slowly becoming thinner and fading into outer space. Three-quarters of the atmosphere's mass is contained within the first 13 km of the planet's surface. This lowest layer is called the troposphere. Energy from the sun heats this layer, and the surface below, causing expansion of the air. This lower density air then rises, and is replaced by cooler, higher density air. The result is atmospheric circulation that drives the weather and climate through redistribution of heat energy. *The primary atmospheric circulation bands consist of the trade winds in the equatorial region below 30° latitude and the westerlies in the mid-latitudes between 30° and 60°. Ocean currents are also important factors in determining climate, particularly the thermohaline circulation that distributes heat energy from the equatorial oceans to the polar regions. *Water vapor generated through surface evaporation is transported by circulatory patterns in the atmosphere. When atmospheric conditions permit an uplift of warm, humid air, this water condenses and settles to the surface as precipitation. Most of the water is then transported to lower elevations by river systems and usually returned to the oceans or deposited into lakes. Atmospheric circulation, topological features and temperature differences determine the average precipitation that falls in each region. Litoria can be subdivided into specific latitudinal belts of approximately homogeneous climate. Ranging from the equator to the polar regions, these are the tropical, subtropical, temperate, and polar climates. ===Magnetic field=== *Litoria’s magnetic field is shaped roughly as a magnetic dipole, with the poles currently located proximate to the planet's geographic poles. According to the dynamo theory, the field is generated within the molten outer core region where heat creates convection motions of conducting materials, generating electric currents. These in turn produce Litoria's magnetic field. The convection movements in the core are chaotic, and periodically change alignment. This results in field reversals at irregular intervals averaging a few times every million years. The most recent reversal occurred approximately 740,000 years ago. The field forms the magnetosphere, which deflects particles in the solar wind. ===Orbit and rotation=== ====Rotation==== *Apart from meteors within the atmosphere, the main apparent motion of celestial bodies in Litoria's sky is to the west at a rate of 15°/h = 15'/min. This is equivalent to an apparent diameter of the Sun or Moon every two minutes; the apparent sizes of the Sun and the Moon are approximately the same. ====Orbit==== *Viewed from the celestial north pole, the motion of Litoria, the moon and their axial rotations are all counter-clockwise. Viewed from a vantage point above the north poles of both the sun and Litoria, Litoria appears to revolve in a counterclockwise direction about the sun. *The Hill sphere, or gravitational sphere of influences (the maximum distance at which Litoria's gravitational influence is stronger than the more distant Sun and planets) of Litoria is about 1,000,000 km in radius. Objects must orbit Litoria within this radius, or they can become unbound by the gravitational perturbation of the sun. ===Axial tilt and seasons=== *Because of the small axial tilt of Litoria, the amount of sunlight reaching any given point on the surface varies over the course of the year. This results in a slight seasonal change in climate, with summer in the northern hemisphere occurring when the north pole is pointing toward the sun, and winter taking place when the pole is pointed away. During the summer, the day lasts longer and the sun climbs higher in the sky. In winter, the climate becomes generally cooler and the days shorter. Above the Arctic Circle, an extreme case is reached where there is no daylight at all for part of the year, a polar night. In the southern hemisphere the situation is exactly reversed, with the south pole oriented opposite the direction of the north pole. *By astronomical convention, the four seasons are determined by the solstices, the point in the orbit of maximum axial tilt toward or away from the sun—and the equinoxes, when the direction of the tilt and the direction to the Sun are perpendicular. The winter solstice occurs on about ______, the summer solstice ______, the spring equinox ______, and the autumnal equinox ______. *The changing Litoria-sun distance results in an increase of about ___% in solar energy reaching Litoria at perihelion relative to aphelion. Since the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun at about the same time that Litoria reaches the closest approach to the Sun, the southern hemisphere receives slightly more energy from the Sun than does the northern over the course of a year. However, this effect is much less significant than the total energy change due to the axial tilt, and most of the excess energy is absorbed by the higher proportion of water in the southern hemisphere. ===Moons=== *The inner moon is a relatively large, terrestrial, planet-like satellite, with a diameter about one-quarter of Litoria's. The gravitational attraction between Litoria and the inner moon causes tides on Litoria. The same effect on the moon has led to its tidal locking, i.e., its rotation period is the same as the time it takes to orbit Litoria. As a result, it always presents the same face to the planet. As the moon orbits Litoria, different parts of its face are illuminated by the sun, leading to the lunar phases; the dark part of the face is separated from the light part by the solar terminator. Because of their tidal interaction, the moon recedes from Litoria at the rate of approximately __ mm a year. *Viewed from Litoria, the moon is just far enough away to have very nearly the same apparent-sized disk as the Sun. The angular size of the moon is slightly smaller than that of the sun. This means that total eclipses cannot occur. However, the annular eclipses are spectacular. *The most widely accepted theory of the moons’ origin states that they were formed from the collision of a large body with the early Litoria. The inner moon resulted from a large chunk that remained close to the planet. The outer moon is a smaller chunk that was captured by the planet’s gravitational pull at a farther distance. ====Inner Moon==== *Physical characteristics: **mean radius 1,911.3 km (0.4 “earths”) **flattening .00128 **surface area 45,882,530 km2 **volume 29,231,759,981.8 km3 **mass **sidereal rotation period synchronous **axial tilt 5.125° (to orbit plane) *Orbital characteristics: **semi-major axis 681,828 km **eccentricity 0.009 **orbital period 30.01 days **inclination .051° to the ecliptic ====Outer Moon==== *Physical characteristics: **mean radius 101.5 km **flattening .000887 **surface area 129,396.26 km2 **volume 4,377,906.797 km3 **mass **sidereal rotation period synchronous **axial tilt 24.25° *Orbital characteristics: **semi-major axis 1,209,310.38 km **eccentricity 0.01503 **orbital period 20.001 days **inclination 0.75° to the ecliptic ===Habitability=== *A planet that can sustain life is termed habitable, even if life did not originate there. Litoria provides the requisite conditions of liquid water, an environment where complex organic molecules can assemble and sufficient energy to sustain metabolism. The distance of Litoria from the sun, as well as its orbital eccentricity, rate of rotation, axial tilt, geological history, sustaining atmosphere and protective magnetic field all contribute to the conditions necessary to originate and sustain life on this planet. ===Biosphere=== *The planet's life forms are sometimes said to form a "biosphere". This biosphere is generally believed to have begun evolving about 2.5 billion years ago. The biosphere is divided into a number of biomes, inhabited by broadly similar plants and animals. On land primarily latitude and height above sea level separates biomes. Biomes lying within the Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle or in high altitudes are relatively barren of plant and animal life, while the greatest latitudinal diversity of species is found at the equator. With respect to biomes, the two shores of Litoria are mirror images of each other.

As the years past, these tribes established some city states that were unified by the tribe of [[Malidros]]. Since that time Magorion was a united kingdom with its capitol being [[Malidmúr]], the city near the Sea. ===Imperial=== During the Imperial age in the North-Western Eramár (called [[Gondala]]), which took it's place in [[Fourth Age (Eramár)|Fourth Age]], Magorion, by several campaigns and wars, expanded its territories far in South and East, deep in the lands previously controlled by nations of the [[Asatas|Asats]]. The expansion took place in two times - the First and the Second wave. Those territories that were conquered by the [[Machor]]s of Malidmúr in the First wave were heavily Machor-isified, adapting various dialects of [[Vulgar Magorionian]]. ===Post-Imperial=== After the death of Magorion Empire and the loss of the Second Wave territories first and then the First Wave territories, the country was a part of [[Damonth]] for a while. Later, a radical movement called the [[Copat]], convinced the King of Damonth to grant Magorion (the Called the Copation) its freedom. ====Copation==== [[Copation]] {{IPA|[ko'pation]}} ([[Modern Magorionian]]: ''Kopation'' {{IPA|[ko'patioˑn]}}, [[Vulgar Magorionian]]: ''Kopation'': [,kopa'ʃjõn], [[Beringian]]: ''Copachiou'' {{IPA|[ko.pa.ʃju]}}) , the Pro-Dargadian state in the territory of Magorion was created with a leave of the king of Damonth. The main leader of the Copat movement was ''[[Onth Otér]]'' ([[Dargadrill]] pronunciation:[ˈɔntʰ o'tɛːr], [[Modern Magorionian]]: [ˈont ˈoteːr], [[Vulgar Magorionian]]: [ˈõt o'teə]) a son of a dargad male and a Machoric female. During the reign of Onth Otér, dargadian language was recognized as the official language of the Copation, and usage of [[Modern Magorionian]] and [[Vulgar Magorionian]] in public places was forbidden. ====Regain of Machoric Independence==== Few decades after the regain of independence various Pro-Machoric movements were activated and the Pro-Dargadian Copats, after long civil strives and "battles", were overthrown. A Machoric Kingship was recreated, the the king of new found Magorion was [[Bekir]], a grand-grandson of the last king of Magorion. ====Other States==== When the Pro-Machoric movement won in Magorion, the Machor-isified population of the First Wave territory initialised a wide campaign against their "mother countries" - [[Aradór]] and [[Coedór]], and to some extent [[Duin Ínah]]. These pseudo-Machoric states were [[Beringion]], [[Tarmanion]] and other. <br/> <div style="text-align:center;"> {|style="background:#efefef; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width:50%; font-size:95%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=8 |- style="text-align: center;" |style="width:30%; text-align:center;"|Preceded by:<br/>'''Various Tribes''' |style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-right: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width:30%; text-align:center;"|'''Magorion'''<br/>Some Centuries |style="width:30%; text-align:center;"|Succeeded by:<br/>'''Copation''' |} </div> [[Category:Eramár]] Talk:Round Robin Romlang 7311 52714 2010-03-17T17:09:49Z DCliche 1352 Missed a sound change I'd like to be able to see the effect all these sound changes are having.

The portions of each letter above the stemline should occupy the height of an ascender in Latin text, and the portions below the same. === Ligation === Letters that have portions that are following the curves of the previous letter should ligate. (An example of this is [[File:Anoé.él.png]], where the lower right line of the [[File:Anoé.é.png]] glyph would, optimally, form a single line with the upper left portion of the [[File:Anoé.l.png]] glyph.) However, ligation is not mandatory. The word [[File:Anoé.tlaan.png]] (meaning ''God'') receives a special ligature, [[File:Anoé.tlaan.ligature.png]], with identical metrics to other letters. === Glyph design === Glyphs can be of either of two types: stemless or stemmed. The recommended form is usually stemmed; however, in some uses (like headlines), a stemless glyph is recommended. The space glyph should either be a line or a blank glyph, depending on the style of the typeface.

7398 52843 2010-03-27T17:56:41Z Leech10 1372 The marcor ([[file:Ancaron_Mar.png]][[file:Ancaron_Cor.png]]) is the [[Ancaron]] alphabet, and is used to write words not covered by the [[cor]], or for showing the pronunciation of a cor word. The name is a combination of "mar" and "cor," which translates to "Fragmentary cor," meaning that the cor were broken up into their constituent sounds. It is normally written from top to bottom, left to right, as is the cor. It was based on Japanese [[hiragana]]. ==Alphabet== *A: [[file:Ancaron_A.png]] *B: [[file:Ancaron_B.png]] *C: [[file:Ancaron_C.png]] *D: [[file:Ancaron_D.png]] *E: [[file:Ancaron_E.png]] *F: [[file:Ancaron_F.png]] *G: [[file:Ancaron_G.png]] *I: [[file:Ancaron_I.png]] *L: [[file:Ancaron_L.png]] *M: [[file:Ancaron_M.png]] *N: [[file:Ancaron_N.png]] *O: [[file:Ancaron_O.png]] *P: [[file:Ancaron_P.png]] *R: [[file:Ancaron_R.png]] *S: [[file:Ancaron_S.png]] *T: [[file:Ancaron_T.png]] *U: [[file:Ancaron_U.png]] *V: [[file:Ancaron_V.png]] *Z: [[file:Ancaron_Z.png]] [[Category:Ancaron]] [[Category:Conscripts]] Anoé vocabulary 7399 53766 2010-04-28T01:12:33Z Calculator Ftvb 1373 fixes This is a partial vocabulary of [[Anoé]]. {| border=1 |- !

It is normally written from top to bottom, left to right, as is the [[marcor]]. Cor words have a specific meaning, however their pronunciation can vary between the various Ancaron languages. New words can be formed by the combination of several cor. It was based on Japanese [[Kanji]]. Example words: *An ([[file:Ancaron_An.png]]): center, central *Car ([[file:Ancaron_Car.png]]): plural *Cor ([[file:Ancaron_Cor.png]]): writing, to write *Mar ([[file:Ancaron_Mar.png]]): part, (to) fragment *On ([[file:Ancaron_On.png]]): person, personal *Pot ([[file:Ancaron_Pot.png]]): mouth, eat *Marcor ([[file:Ancaron_Mar.png]][[file:Ancaron_Cor.png]]): "fragmentary cor" *Potcor ([[file:Ancaron_Pot.png]][[file:Ancaron_Cor.png]]): to speak, speech *Caron ([[file:Ancaron_Car.png]][[file:Ancaron_On.png]]): people *Ancaron ([[file:Ancaron_An.png]][[file:Ancaron_Car.png]][[file:Ancaron_On.png]]): Ancaron "central people" *[[Ancaron/Cor list|List of the cor]] [[category:conscripts]] [[Category:Ancaron]] CONLANG List 7428 52524 2010-03-09T17:24:07Z Calculator Ftvb 1373 fix #REDIRECT [[List_of_mailing_lists#Constructed_language_lists]] File:Cwnclogo.PNG 7429 52552 2010-03-10T21:48:38Z LoftyD 1364 CWNC Logo CWNC Logo User:Aptar 7430 52589 2010-03-11T18:27:14Z Aptar 1375 Created page with '[[Aptaye]]' [[Aptaye]] Aptaye 7431 52591 2010-03-11T18:28:09Z Aptar 1375 Created page with ''''Aptaye''' is a conlang created by TheUnseen, meaning "the good/honorable language."

It is spoken by the '''Yutlamsa''' . The Yutlamsa live in various villages and towns in a mountain range (specifically around only a few mountains), with most of the population on the foothills and the nearest plains to the east of the mountains and on a lake to the west of the main mountain which they call '''Istakrahiye''' . Their homeland is a large area for their population size and thus they live fairly spread out from each other. However, due to the domestication of horses and an intricate road and bridge system through the mountains, they trade and interact with each other with relative ease. There are two main dialects: '''Pakatloptaye''' , meaning "lake dialect" and '''Auyasoptaye, ''' meaning "plains/foothills dialect." The names are obvious: Pakatloptaye is spoken by those people who are west of Istakrahiye, and so these people are mostly around the lake which is known as '''Pakatlo, ''' meaning "the good/honorable lake." Auyasoptaye is spoken by people east of Istakrahiye who live in the foothills, forests, and plains collectively known as '''Auyaso''' , meaning "the good/honorable plains area." They don't differ much from each other in pronunciation, but moreso in pragmatics and lexical choice. == Phonology == '''p t k tl''' /p t k t tɬ/ '''g l ll r y''' /ɰ l ʎ r j/ '''s z x v h''' /<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̺</span> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̻</span> x v h/ '''m n''' /m n/ '''a e ē i o ō u ū''' /a e ɛ: i o ɔ: u u:/ '''ai au eu oi''' /ai au ɛu ɔi/ Auyasoptaye has '''ēōū''' as the falling diphthongs /ea oa uo/ instead. Stress is always on the penultimate syllable. Phonemes are pronounces as the represented equivalents above except in the following scenarios: 1. /x/ is [ħ] before /a/: '''xara '''[ħara] 2. /h/ is deleted intervocalically in all but careful speech, leaving only a syllable boundary:'''&nbsp; nūhe''' [nu:.e]. There is a contrast between diphthongs and two vowels in separate syllables: '''lau''' [lau] and '''lahu''' [la.u] 3. The phonemic clusters /ph th kh/ are usually realized as [pʰ tʰ kʰ]: '''kophe '''[kopʰe]. 4. The phonemic clusters /t<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̺</span> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">ts̻</span> kx tl/ are treated as affricates /t<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̺</span> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">ts̻</span> kx tɬ/. 5. /m n/ in coda become [ũ ĩ] in a nasal diphthong with the preceding vowel: '''paukam''' [‘paukãũ], '''nantekporo''' [nãĩtek’poro], '''kulim''' [kulĩũ]. This is not always the case in Pakatloptaye. It is always the case in unstressed syllables at the end of a word and the demonstrative '''-em''': '''kulim''' [kulĩũ], '''kulim zem''' [kulĩũ <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̻</span>ẽũ]. It is usually the case in syllables when the following consonant is voiced or in monosyllablic words, but sometimes the nasal stop here is retained in careful speech: '''kamya''' [‘kamja] or [‘kãũja], '''kom''' [kom] or [kõũ]. The nasal is preserved before voiceless consonants in stressed syllables: '''amsu''' [‘am<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̺</span>u], but in unstressed syllables the two options freely vary: '''nantekporo''' [nãĩtek’poro] or [nantek’poro]. In Auyasoptaye, all of these options are the case. In fact, Auyasoptaye goes further: post-stress intervocalic /m n/ become nasal glides, nasalizing the previous vowel: '''lema''' [‘lẽũa], but '''nemastu''' [ne’ma<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̺</span>tu]. There are various mergers of the nasal diphthongs according to sub-dialects and idiolectic variation which are too haphazard to go into depth here about. 6. The other alveolars /t l n/ are apical unless adjacent to <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">/s̺/, when they are laminal. </span> 7. In Pakatloptaye, /nɰ/ is [ŋ] and /<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̺</span>x/ is [ʃ]. In Pakatloptaye, /nɰ/ does not undergo the nasalization stuff as detailed above: '''kulinga '''[ku'liŋa]. 8. The apical sibiliant /<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">s̺/ tends to be [</span>ʃ] in Pakatloptaye before /a o ɔ: u u:/ or when adjacent to /k ɰ p m/. This is only a tendency because this is applied fairly inconsistently, varying in sub-dialects and idiolectically.<br> == <br>Morphology == === Verbs === The root for a verb in Aptaye is the form V1C1(C2)V(C)(V): '''apta''' - speak, '''akrahi''' - climb, '''amsu''' - sing''', ikporo''' - wander. All these examples include C2, as most verbs have them. Verbs which don’t tend to be stative or adjectival verbs: '''etemu''' - be sweet. These reflect the ''basic form'' of the verb. There is a second form, the ''conjunctive form'', which involves changing V1 and inserting a vowel identical to the new V1 between C1 and C2. Usually, if V1 is '''a''', then conjunctive vowels will be '''o''', and if V1 is '''i''', then conjunctive vowels will be '''a'''. If there is no C2, the first vowel often changes to '''u''', though this is less regular than the previously mentioned patterns. Examples: '''opota''' - then speak, '''okorahi''' - then climb, '''omosu''' - then sing, '''akaporo''' - then wander '''utemu '''- then be sweet. Then there is a third form, the ''imperative form''. In this form, V1 is inserted between the two consonants and the original V1 is dropped. If there is no C2, V1 is simply dropped. Examples: '''pata''' - speak! '''karahi''' - climb! '''masu''' - sing! '''kiporo''' - wander! '''temu '''- be sweet! ==== Verbal Pronomial Affixes ==== Verbs in Aptaye are marked for the subject of the sentence with prefixes. Rel means ''relative clause prefix'', R means ''rational gender'', PrR means ''pre-rational gender'', and PoR means ''post-rational gender''. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SG SGRel&nbsp;&nbsp; Pl PlRel 1st '''n-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; t-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; vel- pel- ''' 2nd '''v-&nbsp;&nbsp; p-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pel- pay- ''' R&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; '''y- ty- ''' PrR '''z- tz-''' PoR '''x- tx-''' The verb takes the suffix '''-ri''' to denote distributive plural.&nbsp; ==== Compound Verbs<br> ==== Aptaye uses a very productive system of verb compounding. The main verb comes first and takes a subject prefix, and is compounded with the second, semantically salient verb without its V1. So '''nollopta '''- I want to speak: '''nollo '''- I want, '''-pta '''- speak. Here are some of the most relevant compounds:&nbsp; '''-ollo''' - want '''-ante''' - necessary that <br> '''-osto-''' possible that '''-agan(i)''' - love, be pleased that '''-ekes(u''') - hate that '''-ara '''- good that '''-oyō''' - bad that '''-ne-''' perfect/emphatic perfective (from '''-ne''' “be outside of”) Compounded verbs with vowels in parentheses do not use the vowels if not having them does not create an illegal cluster. Otherwise, the vowels are kept. '''nakespta''' - I hate to speak, but '''naganipta''' - I love to speak === Nouns === Nouns in Aptaye are marked for three genders: ''rational, pre-rational,&nbsp;''and ''post-rational''. The post-rational gender is divided into four classes. All four classes receive the same post-rational prefix on the verb and other modifiers that agree, yet they are different morphologically on the noun. These genders and classes are divided into two cases: direct and oblique, and then subdivided into two honorific degrees: good and bad. ==== Gender Suffixes ==== In the following chart, the direct suffix is listed first and the oblique second. (/ means "or" - the option after the slash also exists but is less common than the option before the slash)<br> Pre-Rational -'''m/0 -nga''' Good: -'''ka -kē ''' Bad: -'''kō -kōya ''' Rational '''-0/[change vowel] -g(a) ''' Good: '''-r -rya ''' Bad: '''-rō -rōya ''' Post-Rational 1 '''-ti -he ''' Good: '''-so -sē ''' Bad: '''-sū -sūya ''' Post-Rational 2 '''-tl -lla ''' Good: '''-tlo -tlē''' Bad: '''-tlū -tlūya ''' Post-Rational 3 '''-pe -phe ''' Good:'''-pso -psē''' Bad: '''-psū -psūya''' Post-Rational 4/Verbal Noun '''-0 -0 ''' Good: '''-ye -ye''' Bad: '''-yū -yū''' ==== Collective Plural<br> ==== There are two different types of pluralization in Aptaye - the collective and the distributive. The former is marked on the noun by means of reduplication: if C1...V1... is the root, then the reduplicated form is C1V1C1...V1. However, if the second C1 in the reduplicated noun is not in a consonant cluster (meaning if the original root did not start with an onset cluster), it is mutated. The following is a chart of what happens to each consonant: '''p &gt; v, h''' '''t &gt; r, l''' '''k &gt; g, h''' '''m &gt; v, h''' '''n &gt; l, r''' '''tl &gt; l, r''' '''s &gt; z, h''' '''z &gt; s, h''' '''x &gt; h, g''' '''v &gt; h, g''' '''y &gt; h, g''' '''r &gt; l, n''' '''l &gt; r, n''' '''g &gt; h, y''' '''h &gt; v/y, g''' The first consonant choice listed is what normally happens: '''kulim '''- fish, '''kugulim '''- fish. The second choice is what happens if the next consonant occuring in the root is the same as the first choice: '''liru '''- arm, '''liniru '''- arms (not **liriru). == Syntax == === Verbs === ==== Plurality ==== The verb takes the suffix '''-ri''' to denote distributive plural. This means that the action is done multiple times in succession or separately, either by multiple subjects or to multiple objects if the verb is transitive. In the 1st and 2nd person, the suffix can combine with regular plurals to make the distinction: '''kulinga velahpexiri''' - We ate fish (one after the other) '''kulinga nahpexiri''' - I ate fish (one after the other). When the distributive talks about the subject, it means that there are multiple people who did the action each for themselves and not together: '''Anga yaptaxiri''' - they spoke to me (one after the other). If the subject and object are both third person, context distinguishes the two possible usages. So '''Kulinga yahpexiri''' could mean “s/he ate the fish (one after the other)” or “they ate a fish (one for each of them, separately).” It is disambiguated if a collective plural noun is shown explicitly (see below in the Nouns section). A plural subject that acts collectively in an action does not receive distributive marking: '''Tē kulinga yahpexi''' - Many ate the fish (eating the one fish together). This is an example of a collective plural noun, as will be shown below. As a side note, the notion of the passing of time is marked with distributive plural: '''Xolvaxiri nga rē''' - Ten hours passed. ==== Verbals ==== Two possible verbal nouns exist - the ''abstract verbal'' and the ''objective verbal''. The abstract verbal is used to speak of an action in general separated from any particular scenario of it. It is formed with the verb root without the prefix vowel: '''pta''' - speech, the act or state of speaking (from '''-pta'''), '''krahi''' - rising, the state of rising. If the initial cluster is illegal, an epenthetic '''e''' is inserted: '''keporo''' - wandering, the state of listlessness (from '''-kporo'''), '''mesu''' - singing, music (from -'''msu'''). The objective verbal is used for a particular, observed instance of an action, or something which typically does that action (note that if this is so, it must be post-rational in nature, because pre-rational and rational things have a separate agentive form). Here, the prefix vowel for the inflected verb is maintained: '''apta''' - language, '''akrahi''' - mountain, '''ikporo''' - adventure, '''amsu''' - song. ==== Past Tense ==== The past tense is formed with the suffix '''-xi'''. It denotes tense only, not dealing with issues of aspect. So '''nahpexi '''- "I ate" does not distinguish between "I ate" and "I was eating." Different context clues delineate perfective and imperfective aspect.<br> ==== Negation ==== Negation of verbs is maked with the suffix '''-me''': '''aptaxime '''- I did not speak, '''nantemehpeme '''- It is not necessary for me not to eat.<br> ==== Compound Verbs ==== Here are some of the most relevant compound verbs in Aptaye, with some semantic explanations (those which are not explained yet will have explanations eventually.) '''-ollo''' - want This expresses volition, but is also used like a future tense if the action is even at least somewhat desired: '''Taike nollomsu''' - Tomorrow I will sing (and I want to).<br> '''-ante''' - necessary that '''-osto-''' possible that <br> These are akin to necessity and possibility in modal logic and philosophy and are not related to moral obligation/necessity. They are also used like future tenses if desire is not a relevant factor and/or the necessity or possibility of the action is most relevant. '''Yatl xantekrahi taike'''- The sun will rise tomorrow. '''Yatl xostokrahime taike? '''- It is possible that the sun will not rise tomorrow?<br> '''-agan(i)''' - love, be pleased that <br> '''-ekes(u''') - hate that <br> '''-ara '''- good that <br> '''-oyō''' - bad that <br> '''-ne-''' perfect/emphatic perfective (from '''-ne''' “be outside of”) ==== Conjunctive Form ==== Each verb has a conjunctive form. A conjunctive form shows an action that is significantly separate in time or space from the previous verb, in succession of time from the previous verb .<br> Any sort of verbs in succession of time will mark the first form in basic form and all verbs in succession in conjunctive form. '''Nathamaxi, nohopexi, maro notovazkaxi''' - I woke up, ate, and then began to write. Note that '''maro '''is an optional conjunction meaning "and then," and the last verb is a compound verb, with the first part "began" '''atva '''being in conjunctive form. <br> The use of the succession sense occurs across sentences and also occurs no matter how long after the action occurs after the former, as long as they are together in a significant sense for the discourse. '''Nathamaxi, nohopexi, maro notovazkaxi. Yuko ngapau rē hilla togani nasagazkaxime. '''- I woke up, ate, and then began to write. Until I was satisfied fifteen hours later, I did not finish writing. This example shows that relative verbs can also take the conjunctive: '''togani '''meaning "I then was pleased, loved [it]" from '''agani''' ('''yuko ngapau rē hilla''' means literally "until fifteen hours after"). You can also see another example of compound verbs in conjunctive form, with '''asaga''', from '''isga''', "finish." ==== Imperative Form ==== Imperatives are used to express commands. A command is any sort of request that requires urgency or does not require any significant degree of politeness. The bare imperative form expresses a command for a second person singular noun. '''Pata! '''Speak (you must)! '''Yahe! '''Run (you must)! Imperative forms are used for jussive commands. These are commands that someone else either than a second-person singular entity do something. They are formed from the imperative form by adding a suffix, which is the subject prefix + '''a''': '''Patana! '''Let me speak! '''Patavela! '''Let us speak! '''Pataya'''! Let him speak! '''Yaheza '''- Let it run! ==== Locative Verbs ==== Locative verbs denote the location of the subejct that they agree with. They are also used as basic PPs, optionally agreeing with the noun they modify. If not, the prefix vowels are dropped (the ones shown in parentheses). '''(a)gi''' - indefinite place '''(i)xan''' - definite place '''(i)mitl''' - inside place '''(e)ne''' - outside place Ex: '''Nenexi kalalla xir''' - I was outside that store. '''Kulim nūhe gi zistu '''- The fish in the water is large. === Nouns === ==== Noun Gender ==== Gender in Aptaye centers around the concept of rationality. Generally, something is rational is it can speak and reason. For the Yutlamsa, this only includes adult humans. Thus, all adult humans are apart of the rational gender: '''ko''' - man, adult human. Pre-rational gender includes those who are not yet rational but have the capacity to be. This obviously includes children, but it actually also includes animals: '''kom''' - child, '''kulim''' - fish. Post-rational gender includes everything else, and is divided into four classes. Class 1 and Class 2 are not clearly different semantically, but Class 1 tends to contain terms with more motile things and Class 2 with more sessile things: '''nūti''' - water, '''usatl''' - stone, '''usati''' - lava, molten rock. Class 3 nouns are usually (but not always) rational things which were once alive and are now dead: '''kope''' - ancestor. Class 4 are verbal nouns. Some varying applications of gender placement exist. Body parts are placed in the gender of the part they belong to: '''liru''' is rational arm/adult arm, and '''lirum''' is child's arm, monkey's arm, etc. Also, groups of people are in rational gender: '''taha '''- village, the people of a village, but '''tahatl '''- the place of a village, the sum of its buildings and roads, etc.<br> ==== Collective Plural ==== The collective plural denotes more than one of a noun who are perceived as being together in a certain state, as opposed to the distributive plural: '''Kugulinga nahpexi '''- I ate the fish (pl) (in one sitting), '''Kulinga nahpexiri '''- I ate the fish (separate fish (sg) at separate times), '''Kugulinga nahpexiri '''- I ate the fish (separate groups of fish at separate times).<br> ==== Case ==== Nouns are marked for two cases: direct and oblique. The direct case is used for subjects of sentences, as a inherent possessive, and is an instrumental. '''Ko yamsu amsu xem '''- The man is singing this song. '''Ko liru yenennuku '''- The man's arm is broken (has been broken). '''Kazuratl llu usatl ninnukuxi''' - I broke the window with a stone. The oblique is used for all other functions, such the direct object and the indirect object. '''Kog sa nampaxi '''- I saw a man. Worth noting is the identity function, which is when two nouns are in an identity relationship: '''Anga Spartacus '''- I am Spartacus (anga being the 1SG oblique). This doesn't work when saying that one thing is a member of a set of other things. This instead uses the existential verb '''tlo''': '''Kog natlo''' I am a man. ==== Honorifics ==== Honorifics are used to bring positive or negative attention to the noun. The good honorific does the former and the bad does the latter. I use the words good and bad because they are often attached to the moral concepts of the Yutlamsa. This is why the names of everything where the Yutlamsa live have honorifics: '''Aptaye '''- the good/honorable language, '''Istakrahiye '''- the good/honorable great mountain. For people, honorifics are used when mentioned people deserving of honor or whose honor is being highlighted. '''Vūnar yekhe''' - The good philosopher is wise. The bad honorific is used for those who are despised or in order to insult someone: '''Korō ir na kulinga yenexlō! '''- That bastard (lit. bad man) just stole my fish! '''Xelōrō yukkukaxi '''- The thief lurked. === Word Order and Pragmatics === ==== Topic Marking ==== Topic marking in Aptaye is expressed with determiners that modify the nouns. Two features are relevant to topics: what I call "givenness" and "aboutness" (actually I think I stole them from TomHChappell in the L&amp;L Museum thread, but they may not be exactly what he was talking about). Givenness means that the modified noun is given from knowledge or context - the speaker assumes that the addressee knows what the speaker is expressing. Aboutness means that the noun is supposed to be what the ongoing discourse is about, meaning what the speaker thinks is most important to note. Once an "aboutness" topic is presented, it is usually dropped in the rest of discourse because it is known to be what everything else is about.<br> '''-em/-ir''' [+givenness -/+aboutness] These are the demonstratives “this” and “that.” They take prefixes agreeing with the noun they modify, equal to the verbal prefixes. One exception is that rational gender form of '''-ir''' is&nbsp; '''ir''' (not **yir). They convey that the modified noun is given from knowledge or context and that it is the most relevant noun in the sentence or the discourse, unless another noun in the sentence is modified by '''llu''' or '''sa'''. '''Paukam zir zitet'''. '''Zanteuko prasi'''. - That dog is old. It will die soon (lit. it is necessary that it will die soon). '''llu''' [+givenness +aboutness] This conveys that the modified noun is given from knowledge or context and that it is the most relevant noun in the sentence or the discourse, superseding the demonstratives. It is also used if the location of the noun that the demonstrative would inform about is unknown or considered particularly irrelevant. '''Kulinga llu yahpexi kom zem'''. '''Zallataxi'''. - The fish was eaten by the children. It was delicious. '''sa''' [-givenness +aboutness] This conveys that a noun is the most relevant noun in the sentence or discourse, superseding the demonstratives, but that is not given, acting a lot like an indefinite article. '''Kog sa nampaxi eleg. Yuktoyoxi nimpella''' - I saw a man yesterday. He was wearing a hat. Adverbs can also be made topics, with either '''llu''' or '''sa'''. '''Eleg llu kog ir nampaxi '''- Yesterday I saw that man. '''Ita sa Tlosē nampaxi '''- One time I saw God. ==== Word Order ==== The “default” clause order is SOV, upon which the following variations occur in this order: 1) the topic is fronted. '''Kog sa nampaxi '''- I saw a man. '''Ko sa anga yampaxi''' - A man saw me. 2) If either the subject or the object is used contrastively, meaning that is attempted to be contrasted as opposed to another noun, it is moved after the verb: '''Nampaxi kog sa''' - I saw a ''man''/It is a man I saw. '''Ko sa nampaxi anga-''' A man saw ''me''/It was me a man saw. Other phrase orders: ADJ-N, N-DET, N-PP, except when the adjective in the first case or the noun in the other two are used contrastively, in which case the order switches. '''vosulla xem gi''' - on the wall, '''gi xem vosulla''' - on ''the wall''. As shown, contrastivity is used to emphasize that the noun in question is that certain noun and not some other possible noun. It is also used to respond to certain questions if the questions ask for a specific answer that attempts to exclude other options: '''Eksepa xagi au? Gi xem vosulla''' - Where (at what place) is the painting? It's on that wall.<br> ==== Relative Clauses ==== Relative clauses are built with verbs marked with relative subject prefixes as listed in the morphology section. If the subject of the verb relative clause is the modified noun, it is never mentioned with a pronoun. Other noun positions such as direct object may optionally mention the subject like any other clause - dropped if the noun is a previously established topic or if it is a first or second person pronoun, but otherwise usually mentioned. Relative clause verbs follow the noun they modify. They precede the noun if the noun is constrative, like any other clause. Examples: '''Ruvam zem pauyaxi zuhyu''' - The baby that you tickled is laughing. '''Usatl xir kazuralla ninnukuxi nūhe ximitl '''- This stone that I broke the window with is in the water. '''Kazuralla usatl xir ninnukuxi nūhe ximitl '''- It is this stone that I broke the window with, and it is in the water.<br> ==== Complement Clauses ==== Complement clauses have normally inflected verbs. Since they are in the place of nouns, they take the word order of nouns. Also, they can take topic markers like other nouns. If a complement clause is a subject, the verb takes post-rational '''y-.''' Examples: '''Vitet yara''' - That you are old is good. '''Vūnag vatlo naina'''- I know you are a philosopher. '''Vūnag vatlo llu naina. Yazzaso vala ka vekhe. '''- I know you are a philosopher. It is obvious because you are so wise. '''Talla naina vantēna '''- You will never know what I know. ==== Adverbial Clauses ==== Adverbial clauses have normally inflected verbs. They take the place of normal adverbs - before the verb normally, after the verb contrastively, and fronted if topical. '''Kulinga zir vala nehevi nampexi'''. '''Zallataxi. '''- I ate the fish because I was hungry. It was delicious. '''Vala nehevi llu kulinga xir nampexi. Ka, ē!''' - Because of my hunger I ate the fish. Boy was I (hungry)!<br> === Coming Soon === Quantifiers<br> Adjectives<br> Pronouns Tense and Aspect Determiners Interrogatives Important Adverbs Register Lexical Variation in Dialects Basic updating and clarification of things which have already been written User talk:Yusunny 7434 52762 2010-03-20T09:25:44Z Yusunny 1376 /* Attribution */ Hello.

由于并未有A来产生第二行,所以只有【2- :A】有效对应关系,熟练掌握26字链口诀就知道【购,沙】 音值,从而只能是双合假名【Ga】念读为“购沙”并反切得到g~a(普通话类似“嘎”字音!) 再如【Gk】双合假名,在图中可看到【ギG{购}_ou,キK<== ien音,K{况}uag】等信息,假想 黑牌G,k红牌的两张叠合)产生整体拼图: 【; GKH 2- 1- 3- 0- ㄍㄎㄏ 】G 黑桃7 【; X<== _en恩 キK<== ien音 ヒH{婚}uen H<== ven韵 X5_enㄣ|en=OX 】k 红心3 【; jY{杨}_ag ニN{娘}iag K{况}uag : Y2_agㄤ|ang=OY】// 由于K红牌可以看到双韵(有第二行),所以就有【1- :K ,3- :K】两个对应,但因为1<3故, 所以选用的是下一行的【3-:K】关系,熟练口诀后就知道【购,况】音值,从而只能是双合假名 【Gk】念读为“购况”并反切得到g~uang(普通话类似“光”字音!) 又如【Eb】双合假名,在图中可看到【zhE{这}_eeェ,ビB{编}ian,】等信息,(掌握26字链口诀 并假想黑牌E,b红牌的两张叠合)产生整体拼图: 【; EUAR 1- 2< 3- 0- ㄓㄔㄕㄖ 】E 黑桃J 【; テT{毯}_an ビB{编}ian J<== uan完 J{捐}van T8_anㄢ| 】b 方块J 单韵B只有【2< :B】有效对应关系,但是看到“<”符号就要向左尽量移动(除非空位或自身)并加 儿化韵,于是从B位置就循环转到了J位置,既然已经知道【这,编,完】等的音值,从而双合假名 【Eb】可推导需成为 Ej~r 并念读为“这完”反切,再儿化后得到==》zh~uan~r(普通话类似 “转儿”字音!) 还如【Zk】双合假名,在图中可看到【ジZ{赠=_eg,キK<== ien音,K{况}uag】等信息音值,并 假想黑牌Z,k红牌的两张叠合)产生整体拼图: 【; ZCS 1- 3< 2- 0- ㄗㄘㄙ 】Z 黑桃9 【; X<== _en恩 キK<== ien音 ヒH{婚}uen H<== ven韵 X5_enㄣ|en=OX 】k 红心3 【; jY{杨}_ag ニN{娘}iag K{况}uag : Y2_agㄤ|ang=OY 】// k 双韵K有【3< :K ,2- :K】两个对应,但因为3>2故,所以就选用上面一行的【3< :K】关系, 但是看到“<”符号就要向左尽量移动(除非空位或自身)并加儿化韵,于是从K位置就循环转到了 H位置,从而双合假名【Zk】可推导需成为 Zh~r 并念读为“赠婚”反切,再儿化后得到==》 z~un~r(普通话类似“尊儿”字音! 。。。。。。。。。 上述按部就班的双合推导流程中,看符号而向左右转进的目的是保证理想语音节在儿化之后的 唯一性,从而可以说明《声韵推导图》已经完备解决了676+26个双合音节,另有至少27个可能变音 双合符号,早已囊括了四百多个普通话音节,可打字调用所有普通话汉字,可以作为更有效的学习 全拼或注音之前的注拼辅助形式:反过来说,当前的全拼或双拼就必须全面掌握所有声母和韵母的 发音组合,或者知道没有念读发音,却无法让中外初学者(例如自我判断)明确知道(对应Eb双拼 的)全拼形式zh~ian是不能拼合的! 。。。。。。。。。 例如【Dc】系列的双合假名,在图中可看到【D{嗲}iaaゃ ,C{翠}uei,ヴC<== ve;月】等交叉位置 丰富信息,假想黑牌Y,p红牌的两张叠合,产生整体拼图: 【;(DT 1- 3- 2- 0- ㄉㄊ ) 】D 黑桃10 【; フF{费}_ei i ッC{翠}uei : F%_eiㄟ|ei=OF 】c 方块K 【; : R<== ie;叶 : ヴC<==`ve;月 え[;_e;ㄝ| 】//?

由于并未有A来产生第二行,所以只有【2- :A】有效对应关系,熟练掌握26字链口诀就知道【购,沙】 音值,从而只能是双合假名【Ga】念读为“购沙”并反切得到g~a(普通话类似“嘎”字音!) 再如【Gk】双合假名,在图中可看到【ギG{购}_ou,キK<== ien音,K{况}uag】等信息,假想 黑牌G,k红牌的两张叠合)产生整体拼图: 【; GKH 2- 1- 3- 0- ㄍㄎㄏ 】G 黑桃7 【; X<== _en恩 キK<== ien音 ヒH{婚}uen H<== ven韵 X5_enㄣ|en=OX 】k 红心3 【; jY{杨}_ag ニN{娘}iag K{况}uag : Y2_agㄤ|ang=OY】// 由于K红牌可以看到双韵(有第二行),所以就有【1- :K ,3- :K】两个对应,但因为1<3故, 所以选用的是下一行的【3-:K】关系,熟练口诀后就知道【购,况】音值,从而只能是双合假名 【Gk】念读为“购况”并反切得到g~uang(普通话类似“光”字音!) 又如【Eb】双合假名,在图中可看到【zhE{这}_eeェ,ビB{编}ian,】等信息,(掌握26字链口诀 并假想黑牌E,b红牌的两张叠合)产生整体拼图: 【; EUAR 1- 2< 3- 0- ㄓㄔㄕㄖ 】E 黑桃J 【; テT{毯}_an ビB{编}ian J<== uan完 J{捐}van T8_anㄢ| 】b 方块J 单韵B只有【2< :B】有效对应关系,但是看到“<”符号就要向左尽量移动(除非空位或自身)并加 儿化韵,于是从B位置就循环转到了J位置,既然已经知道【这,编,完】等的音值,从而双合假名 【Eb】可推导需成为 Ej~r 并念读为“这完”反切,再儿化后得到==》zh~uan~r(普通话类似 “转儿”字音!) 还如【Zk】双合假名,在图中可看到【ジZ{赠=_eg,キK<== ien音,K{况}uag】等信息音值,并 假想黑牌Z,k红牌的两张叠合)产生整体拼图: 【; ZCS 1- 3< 2- 0- ㄗㄘㄙ 】Z 黑桃9 【; X<== _en恩 キK<== ien音 ヒH{婚}uen H<== ven韵 X5_enㄣ|en=OX 】k 红心3 【; jY{杨}_ag ニN{娘}iag K{况}uag : Y2_agㄤ|ang=OY 】// k 双韵K有【3< :K ,2- :K】两个对应,但因为3>2故,所以就选用上面一行的【3< :K】关系, 但是看到“<”符号就要向左尽量移动(除非空位或自身)并加儿化韵,于是从K位置就循环转到了 H位置,从而双合假名【Zk】可推导需成为 Zh~r 并念读为“赠婚”反切,再儿化后得到==》 z~un~r(普通话类似“尊儿”字音! 。。。。。。。。。 上述按部就班的双合推导流程中,看符号而向左右转进的目的是保证理想语音节在儿化之后的 唯一性,从而可以说明《声韵推导图》已经完备解决了676+26个双合音节,另有至少27个可能变音 双合符号,早已囊括了四百多个普通话音节,可打字调用所有普通话汉字,可以作为更有效的学习 全拼或注音之前的注拼辅助形式:反过来说,当前的全拼或双拼就必须全面掌握所有声母和韵母的 发音组合,或者知道没有念读发音,却无法让中外初学者(例如自我判断)明确知道(对应Eb双拼 的)全拼形式zh~ian是不能拼合的! 。。。。。。。。。 例如【Dc】系列的双合假名,在图中可看到【D{嗲}iaaゃ ,C{翠}uei,ヴC<== ve;月】等交叉位置 丰富信息,假想黑牌Y,p红牌的两张叠合,产生整体拼图: 【;(DT 1- 3- 2- 0- ㄉㄊ ) 】D 黑桃10 【; フF{费}_ei i ッC{翠}uei : F%_eiㄟ|ei=OF 】c 方块K 【; : R<== ie;叶 : ヴC<==`ve;月 え[;_e;ㄝ| 】//?

It gave rise to many dialects of [[Vulgar Magorionian]], which later developed in many daughter languages. ===Rise of the language=== The language originally was one of the many spoken by the tribes that inhabited the territory of [[Magorion]]. After the state was unified, a need for a standard language arouse. Since the new-found dynasty originated from a tribe were the earliest forms of Classical Magorionian were spoken, a standardised form of it was accepted as the official language of Magorion. It was originally spoken in an area south of [[Malidmúr]], the later capitol of Magorion, but it was brought to Malidmúr during the reign of first dynasty. It rapidly expanded throughout the country, extinguishing the local micro-languages. Classical Magorion was set to be the only literacy language of the State/Empire. Every book, be it a story collection, a poetry book or a paper dealing with foreign culture, had to be written in the standard language, preferably the form of it spoken in Malidmúr. This caused a rapid extinction of local dialects, levelling the language to nearly uniform. ===Stagnation of the language=== As the Magorion grew to be an Empire, a lot of foreign influence came in Classical Magorionian. The Emperor of the time, [[Mur Tastron]], established an institution to deal with the growing foreign influence and decline of the "fair" forms of Language, particularly the spoken form. However, the Institution failed to battle the changes the language then underwent. So, after a generation or two, Classical Magorionian, despite having great and ancient literary traditions, fell out of use as the daily language of the people of Magorion. Instead, a language chiefly derived from it, called the [[Vulgar Magorionian]] replaced it. However, [[Classical Magorionian]] was still used in formal situations and when writing scientific works. ===Fall of the language=== Eventually, the proficiency of inhabitants of Magorion in the language dropped. The most majority of works in Classical Magorionian were rewritten in forms of Vulgar Magorionian. At the very end, as Vulgar Magorionian, considered a form of Classical Magorionian, collapsed thoughout the whole Empire into the various daughter languages, Classical Magorion became to be considered extinct. ===Descendants=== * [[Vulgar Magorionian]], and, consequentiality: :* East, South and Central "Vulgar" languages of later Magorion; :* [[Beringo-Tarmanian]] and it daughter languages: ::* [[Beringian]] ::* [[Low Tarmanian]] ::* [[High Tarmanian]] * Scholarship Magorionian Vulgar Magorionian 7440 55772 2010-09-04T17:11:26Z Longrim 1289 {| style="clear:right" | {{blueinfobox}} |- | colspan="2" align="center" style="background:#CCCCFF"| '''{{{Vulgar Magorionian| Bẽif Fjãdiet Magoriõn}}}''' <br> {{IPA|ˈbẽ 'fjɑ̃ʒe ma'goʀjɔ̃n}} |- | align="right" | ''Timeline/Universe'' | align="left" | [[Eramár]] |- | align="right" | ''Period'' | align="left" | [[Fourth Age]] |- | align="right" | ''Spoken in'' | align="left" | [[Magorion]] |- | align="right" | ''Total speakers'' | align="left" | Unestimated |- | align="right" | ''Writing system'' | align="left" | Magorionic Alphabet |- | align="right" | ''Classification'' | align="left" | [[Machoric]] <br>&nbsp; [[West Machoric]] <br>&nbsp; [[Magorionian Machoric]] <br>&nbsp; [[Classical Magorionian]] >> [[Vulgar Magorionian]] |- | colspan="2" align="center" style="background:#CCCCFF"| '''Typology''' |- | align="right" | ''Basic word order'' | align="left" | {{{word-or|SVO}}} |- | align="right" | ''Morphology'' | align="left" | {{{mor-type|fusion}}} |- | align="right" |''Alignment'' | align="left" | {{{morphalign|NOM-ACC}}} |- | colspan="2" align="center" style="background:#CCCCFF" | '''Credits''' |- | align="right" | ''Created by'' | align="left" | [[User:Longrim]] |- | colspan="2" align="center" | {{edit|Template:Conlang3}} |- |} Vulgar Magorionian descended from [[Modern Magorionian]] and later gave rise to many daughter languages.

上述《理想语音图》隐含了理想语 声母归类歌 (巨贾抵,博资质)和 四韵儿化表: ;可以通过牌符叠合==》 义母双合推导... </pre> 如下 正在修改, 理想汉语 比照 普通话汉语:) {{unreference|time=2009-3-27}} '''標準汉语语法'''中最大的特点是没有严格意义的形态变化。[[名词]]没有[[格 (语法)|格]]的变化,也没有[[性]]和[[数 (语法)|数]]的区别。[[动词]]不分[[人称]],也没有[[时态]]。这一不同于欧洲语言的特点,使得在历史上很长一段时间内,汉语被很多语言学家认为没有语法也没有词类,直到[[20世纪]]著名历史学家[[威尔·杜兰]]在《[[文明的故事]]》第一卷《东方的遗产》一书中仍然认为汉语没有语法和词类。现在的观点认为,汉语有语法也有词类,只是它的语法不同于欧洲语言,而且一个词语存在多词性现象。 汉语语法的另外一个特点是省略。不影響大概意思的词往往省略掉。 ==語素== {{main|语素}} 在现代汉语裡,[[语素]]是最小的语音语义结合体,是最小的语言单位。“一个语言片段,一层一层的切分,分到不能再分的最小的单位,就是语素。”例如,“树胶”这个[[词]]可以分成“树”与“胶”两个'''语素''',有“树木所产生的胶汁”之意。 在汉语里,大多数的单字同时也是一个语素,例如:“我、他、家、飞、跟、动、太、是、日、月、过、了、着、啊、呀”等等;不过,有些语素由两个以上的汉字组成,如“蜻蜓”、“葡萄”等,因为当“蜻”与“蜓”、“葡”与“萄”分开时,并不会带来任何含义,或者单字语素的含义和前者没有直接关系,如“葡”([[葡萄牙]]的简称)与“[[葡萄]]”(一种水果)。 一些二字单词如“马虎”也是一个语素,因为“马虎”(形容草率)拆成“马”与“虎”时,“马”与“虎”这两个字所带的语素含义和“草率”没有关系。还有许多外来音译词,如:“巧克力、维基、英格兰、葡萄牙”等等也是不能再拆分的语素。 有些语素可以单独成[[词]],如:“我、家、有、个、大、徘徊”等等,称为'''[[单纯词]]''',也可以和其他语素合成一个新的词,如:“书包、百科、跑步、天气、葡萄糖”等等,称为'''[[合成词]]'''。还有许多不能单独成词的语素,即'''不自由语素'''和'''半自由词素'''。 依音节位数来划分,可分为: *'''单音节语素 *'''双音节语素 *'''多音节语素 *'''非音节语素 依构词能力来划分,可分为: *'''自由语素 *'''半自由语素 *'''不自由语素 ==词== '''汉语词类''',有别于其它[[语言]],特别是[[汉语]]作为[[意音文字]],更有别于[[拼音文字]]。汉语词性也和其他[[语言]]有共性,[[词语]]可以拥有两种或以上[[词性]],从[[语法|文法]]的角度来看,和其他语言之间共有的基本词类有[[动词]]、[[名词]]、[[代词]]、[[形容词]]、[[副词]]、[[介词]]和[[连接词]]等。 汉语词类没有统一的划分标准,分类方法很多,基本上可按照詞的[[音節形式]]、詞的內部結構及語法功能三方面來分類。 ===音節形式=== *單音節詞 *雙音節詞 *多音節詞 ===內部結構=== 只由一個語素構成的詞稱為單純詞,由兩個或以上語素構成的詞稱為合成詞。 ====单纯词==== {{main|单纯词}} 所有单音节的[[词]],都是单纯词,例:天、人、地、山、跑、撞、好。 多音节语素独立而成的单纯词,可分为: =====连绵词(連緜詞)===== 連綿詞又稱「聯綿詞」、「連綿字」,它是指不能拆開來解釋的詞。連綿詞有這些分類: * 雙聲詞,聲母相同,如「慷慨」 * 疊韻詞,韻母相同,如「窈窕」、「駱駝」、「徘徊」 * 雙聲疊韻詞,同音重複,如「孜孜」 * 非雙聲疊韻詞,如「嘀咕」 =====叠声词===== =====[[拟声词]]===== =====音译外来词===== ====合成词==== {{main|合成词}} 合成詞由两个以上的语素合成,可分再為下列幾種結構:聯合式、偏正式、主謂式、動賓式、補充式、重疊式、附加式。 *聯合式:組成的語素意義相同、相近、相反或相關。 *:例:国家、左右、上下、江河、江山、宫殿、子女、兄弟姐妹、手足、父母、管理、动摇、超越、攻击、皇帝、美丽。 *偏正式:前一個語素限制或修飾後一個語素,詞的意義以後一個語素為主,前一個語素只起附加作用,前為偏,後為正。 *:例:[[橡胶]]、[[葡萄糖]]、蔗糖、书包、背包、[[羽毛球]]、[[篮球]]、图书馆、校园、学校、[[春天]]、雨天、偷袭、狠心、好心、科学、郊游。 *主謂式:前一個語素表示被陳述的物件,後一個語素表示陳述的情況。 *:例:[[地震]]、土崩、[[沙尘暴]]、[[民主]]、[[海啸]]、[[冬至]]。 *動賓式:前一個語素表示動作、行為,後一個語素表示動作、行為所支配的對象。詞的前部分通常是動詞,後部分是名詞,也可以是動詞或形容詞。 *:例:走路、赶路、起步、参军、游水、伤心、开心、司法、行政。 *補充式:後一個語素補充說明前一個語素,詞的意義以前一個語素為主。前部分是述語,只能是動詞或名詞,後部分是補語,通常是動詞、形容詞或狀態詞。 *:例:推动、赶走、说服、书本、车辆、花朵、马匹、纸张。 *重疊式:相同的語素重疊組成, *:例:走走、看看、听听、婆婆、妈妈、爷爷、苦苦、囡囡、细细。 *附加式:加上前缀或后缀的词,一般上前缀与后缀为不自由语素。可分为前加式与后加式。 **前加式,例:老鼠、老虎、老师、老外、老末、老大、阿嬷、阿姨、第一。 **后加式,例:狮子、桌子、椅子、猴子、花儿、鸟儿、活性、惰性、好的、快乐的。 **两者综合,例:可塑性、小三儿、反全球化 ====歧义==== 一个词在没有语境的情况下不能只按字面意义解释,如主謂式的“[[冬至]]”中冬为名词,指冬天;至为动词,指来到,字面上可以理解为“冬天 来了”,然而其作为一个单独的词是指中国农历里的一个节气,是日照时间最短的一天。由此也可看出,以构词法组成的词,其含义虽和构词语素有一定联系,但也不能逐字理解。 ===語法功能=== 基本分为[[实词]]和[[虚词]]二类,也有人将[[拟声词]]与[[叹词]]其归入虚词。基本共用的词类划分有 *实词:名词、動詞、形容詞、狀態詞、區別詞、[[数词]]、[[量词]]、代词 *虚词:[[副词]]、介词、连词、[[助词]]、語氣詞 ====名词==== 表示人或事物(包括具体、抽象事物及时间、处所等)的名称。 ====動詞==== 表示動作、行為、心理活動或存在、變化、消失等。 玩 打 畫 寫 走 跑 跳 看 聽 哭 笑 叫 喊 ====形容詞==== 美丽的 漂亮的 醜陋的 溫柔的 凶狠的 棒的 好的 ====狀態詞==== ====區別詞==== ====数词==== 如:负二、零、一、十九点零三、一十八、十万九千七百、两千零八、十三亿、十万万 ====量词==== 个 支 块、包、攤、車、袋、堆、群、箱、碗 ====代词==== 代替名词,动词,形容词,数量词,副词的词。 如:我,她,它,你们,某些人,那个 ====副词==== 起修饰,限制动词或形容词作用,表示程度或范围的词。副词可独立作为[[句子成份]](如[[状语]])。如:正在、刚刚、有时、常常、不断地、{{Template:H:title|“在”有多种词性,在不同的位置里,也可以作为动词、副词使用。|在}}(修饰动词),很、非常、极度、太(修饰形容词)。 ====介词==== 置于代名词(或相当于名词的[[短语]]、从句)前、用以修饰后者的虚词,不能单独成句子成份,例如:从、{{Template:H:title|“在”有多种词性,在不同的位置里,也可以作为动词、副词使用。|在}}、跟、和、对、向、被、当、往。 ====连词==== 将两组[[单句]]联系起来的虚词,使之成为一个[[复句]],用以表示前后两组单句的承接关系。如:和、与、及、以及、可是、但是、虽然……但是、因為……所以、是……不是、如果……那么、如果……就、由于……因此、与其……不如、要是……就、不但……而且、不止……还、既……也、要么……要么、一边……一边、一面……一面。 ====助词==== 不独立的虚词,多用来联系[[谓语]]、[[补语]]及[[宾语]]成份,如:着、了、地、得、的。 语气词有时也被归类为助词,称作“语气助词”。 ====語氣詞==== 有时也称为语气助词,多用于句尾,表达句子的语气。如:呀,嗎,啊,吧,呢。 ===字母词语=== 词语中的“字母词语”,汉语中有很多[[外来语]](这些“字母词语”能不能算汉语和是否应该引入汉语具有争议),特别是[[英语]]构成的[[词语]],形式有 *直接借用外语或数字的[[缩写]]或[[编号]]构成[[词语]],如[[WTO]]、[[NBA]]、[[CIA]]、[[3D]]、[[N95]]、[[F22]]等;

“地”字表示动作的状态,强调的是“地”字前面的词语; “得”字表示状态的补充,强调的是“得”字后面的词语。 ==句子== 句子分為單句及複句。單句分為主謂句及非主謂句。 ===單句=== ====主謂句==== '''主谓句'''是由主谓短语带上一定的语调构成的[[句子]]。 根据[[谓语]][[词性]]不同,主谓句可分为名词谓语句、动词谓语句、形容词谓语句、主谓谓语句四种[[类型]]。其中,主谓谓语句是由主谓短语充当[[谓语]]的主谓句。 如果根据[[主语]]的存廢來劃分,主谓句又可分为完全主谓句和不完全主谓句。 =====完全主謂句===== 「完全主謂句」就是指句子裡有主謂結構並且主謂部分都顯現出來,沒有被省略的句子。例如: {{quote| 小強被金錢龜吃了 }} 「被金錢龜吃了」的[[謂語]]部分就是對[[主語]]「小強」的[[陳述]]了。 =====不完全主謂句===== 「不完全主謂句」是指[[句子]]裡有主謂結構,但[[主語]]或[[謂語]]部分可能在特定的語境裡承前或蒙後省略了,沒全都顯現出來的句子。例如: {{quote| 毛小慧問道:「誰被金錢龜吃了?」<br> -{余}-樂天淒然嘆喟:「小強!」 }} 要注意的是,「不完全主謂句」裡,被省略的[[主語]]或[[謂語]]成分並非不存在,只是在特定語境裡,為簡鍊而省略了,我們是可以按文意酌情補回省略了的主、謂部分而不影響文意的。上例「小強。」便是「不完全主謂句」,我們能按文意補上「~被金錢龜吃了」使之變成「完全主謂句」而意義不變的,但因為承前文毛小慧的問話,不說自明,所以省去謂語部分更好。 ====非主謂句==== 「非主謂句」跟「不完全主謂句」外觀上相似,不過跟「不完全主謂句」不同,「非主謂句」之所以不呈現主謂結構,並非因為在特定語境承前蒙後而把主語或謂語略省了,而是因為「非主謂句」的確是沒有主謂結構的句子,這是「不完全主謂句」和「非主謂句」的根本分別。譬如,有時在特定場合裡,我們在沒有上文下理的情況下,帶語調地喊一句「小強。」(或「小強!」或「小強?」,或驚恐或歡欣,視乎喊「小強」的是余樂天還是毛小慧),也能表達一個完整的意思。這不是主語或謂語的省略,而是根本無需補出主謂結構。我們雖然可以任意為「小強」補上語境或其他句子成分使之成為主謂句,但無論補上什麼,原句的語意都一定會被改變。也就是說,改了以後,也是另一句句子。我們根本無法在原句本義不變的情況下補出一個合適的主謂結構來。「不完全主謂句」和「非主謂句」的分別就在此顯明了 ===複句與分句=== 複句由分句構成(「分句」也有稱為「單句形式」)。有異於短語之於句子,分句在句子裡並不互為句子成分,而且,各分句均已具備單句的形式(可以是單句的主謂句形式或非主謂句形式)。 當然,這獨立性只是相對短語而言。「單句形式」的獨立性還是遜於「單句」的。 我們試以「複句會使用關聯詞語,單句不使用關聯詞語」這句為例。這複句的兩個分句都具備了單句的形式,它們各自是一個完備的主謂句結構,且分句與分句之間也只是並列關係,並不存在主謂賓定狀補等句子成分關係。假使獨立出來,觀之亦與一句完整的單句無異。假使我們把上例兩個單句形式單獨運用來表述意思時,它們是就是兩句單句,可以各自有完整的語調。 當然,作為複句,合讀時自有複句的句調,不可割裂。複句裡的分句,也不具備完整的意義,不可獨立應用,不足表述一個完整自足、不用補充的概念。 复句的基本类型:1、并列复句,2、承接复句,3、递进复句,4、选择复句,5、转折复句,6、假设复句,7、因果复句,8、条件复句,9、解说复句,10、目的复句。 ===把字句=== {{main|把字句}} 该句型是属于宾语前置的一种情况,在现代汉语中,一个完整的句子是比较严格的遵循“主+谓+宾”的顺序结构的。该种句型来自于古汉语,“把”字是将宾语提前的一个特征,成为“主+‘把’+宾+谓”的语序,亦可将“把”看作是谓语,而后的动词看作是谓语补足语。可以认为“把”的语义与英语中的“take to”相同。 等同于“把”字的动词还有“将”“拿”等,但语境更为书面化(特别是“拿”字句)。 例: 小明把鼠标拿到手中。 病毒把系统破坏了。 我手持钢鞭将你打了。 请将书翻到53页。 他将旗子举起。 夕阳将傍晚的天空照得通红。 午时三刻拿重犯开刀问斩。 我将拿你是问!(此处的“将”代表将来语态) ===被字句=== {{main|被字句}} 被字句在汉语当中用表示被动语态,此时的次序为“宾+‘被’主+谓”,亦可将被字句看作与把字句相似的句型,二者都是将谓语后置(如果将受动者看成是主语的话)。 但与把字句不同的是:被字句可以省略掉主语,亦可省略“被”字(本句话完整的表达为“被字句可以被省略掉主语,亦可被省略掉‘被’字”,但这样不太符合汉语的一般表达)。 “被”字也可以用“遭”“叫”“让”“给”字代替(多出现在方言或口语当中,相对少见)以及“为”“受”字代替(多用于书面语和古文)。 例: 我被打了。(省略主语) 我被他打了。 我遭他打了。 我给人打了。 他叫人给糊弄了。 一世英豪竟为奸人所害。 受制于人。 矿泉水遭他喝完了。 你让他骗了。 鱼将被小猫吃掉。 他被无耻的叛徒出卖。 囚犯被关押在一个秘密的地方。(省略主语,“一个秘密的地方”是状语) ===把字句和被字句的转换=== 把字句和被字句可以相互转换,即按照“宾+‘被’主+谓”和“主+‘把’+宾+谓”的顺序进行互换,在这种情况下,被字句中通常不能有省略掉的成分(在一些文学作品中,根据上下文的连接也可在把字句中省略主语,但和被字句强调的成分不同)。 例: 他把我打了↔我被他打了。 鱼将被小猫吃掉↔小猫将把鱼吃掉。 “他做了什么?”“把我敲晕了!”↔“他做了什么?”“我被敲晕了!”(前一句的语境强调施动者的动作,后一句强调受动者的感受) ==时态== 汉语中动词没有时态的变化,而时态也不如英语中那么分明和强烈,通常是通过时间状语和一些“时态词”(如原来、曾经、了、掉、完成、将、正在、已经、开始、结束等)来表示动作的时态。 ===现在时=== 该时态是最常见的,同于英语,不用加上时间状语和“时态词”。 例: 这个网站是维基百科。 运动员跑步。 他名叫“徐庶”。 ===过去时=== 对过去的动作描述多加上时间状语或“原来”“曾经”等时态词。 例: 这个网站过去不是维基百科。 运动员昨天下午在跑步。 他曾经名为“单福”。 ===将来时=== 对未来的动作描述多加上时间状语或“将”“要”等时态词。 例: 这个网站将成为全球最大的百科全书网站。 运动员明天跑步。 他要更名为“徐元直”。 ===进行时=== 对进行中的动作描述多加上时间状语或“正在”“正”“在”等时态词。 例: 这个网站正在成为全球最大的百科全书网站。 运动员目前正在跑步。 他正着手于改名为“徐元直”的手续。 ===完成时=== 对完成的动作描述多加上时间状语并加上“完成”“已经”“了”等时态词。 例: 这个网站已经成为了全球最大的百科全书网站。 运动员跑完了。 他已经改名叫“徐元直”。 ===时态的组合=== 同于英语,以上时态可以进行组合。 例: 这个网站昨天已经成为了全球最大的百科全书网站。(过去完成时) 两年前,这个网站正在成为全球最大的百科全书网站。(过去进行时) 当时就知道这个网站将成为全球最大的百科全书网站。(过去将来时) 这个网站直到现在还是全球最大的百科全书网站。(现在完成进行时) 运动员还在跑步。(现在完成进行时) 他叫徐庶已经三年多了。(现在完成进行时) 他去年更名单福后又要改成叫徐元直。(过去将来时) 运动员说他们将要跑步。(过去将来进行时) 运动员要开始跑步了。(将来进行时) 他将要做的事情是去将名字改成徐元直。(过去将来进行时) 明天这个时候,他将去办理更名叫徐元直的手续。(将来进行时) 明天这个时候,他将更名叫徐元直。(将来完成时) 运动员将在一个钟头后跑完。(将来完成时) 运动员一个钟头后还会继续跑下去。(将来完成进行时) 庞士元和诸葛孔明说他明年还是会名叫徐元直。(过去将来完成进行时) 到三点钟时运动员就跑了一个小时二十分钟了。(过去将来完成进行时) 到2020年,这个网站会继续保持成为全球最大的百科全书网站的历史最长时间记录。(过去将来完成进行时) ……不一一类举,汉语中对时态的需求并不如英语那般正式和迫切,只需要将事件描述清楚,不必在乎到底是什么时态。相反的,过分在乎时态会导致描述的不准确。 ==句群== 句群是大於句子的語言片斷,它是由一組有明晰的中心意思、前後銜接連貫的句子組成的,同時它又是文章段落的組成材料。 句群不同於複句,從書面形式看,複句祇有一個句末標點,而句群不止一個句末標點;複句內部的分句結構比較嚴密,常使用成群的或單個的關聯詞語,而句群中的句子和句子之間在結構上比較鬆散,不需要特別使用關聯詞語來表示句子與句子的語義關係;此外,句群還用詞彙手段關聯句子,也即用相同或相似的詞語來關聯,這也是與複句不同的。 句群和文章的自然段落也不同。一般而言,自然段落是比句群大的語言片段,自然段落通常包含了一個以上的句群。有的時候,段落與句群是重合的,一個句群就是一個自然段落,少數的時候,自然段落比句群還要小,句群裡的句子被分為了幾個自然段落。 句群的分類在語法學上最有意義的是對句群結構類型的分類,這種分類是根據句群內部句子之間組合關係的類型。句群的結構類型常見的有十種: #並列關係:特點是句群內部的句子是平等並列的關係,各個句子對一件事物的不同方面進行描述,或從不同角度敘述幾件有密切關係的事物; #順承關係:各個句子按時間或事件的發展先後順序排列,前後句子是承接的關係; #是遞進關係:後面的句子在意思上比前面的句子更進一層; #是總分關係:句子之間一般是先總說,後分說; #是選擇關係:各個句子都是說明情況,讓人從中選擇一種; #是轉折關係:前後的句子在意思上有轉折; #是因果關係:前後句子有原因和結果的關係; #是假設關係:也就是前後的句子是假設和結果的關係; #是條件關係:前面的句子提出條件,後面的句子說出結果; #是目的關係:前面的句子提到某種行為,後面的句子說到行為的目的。 如果句群內部的句子之間祇有一種結構關係,即一個結構層次,就是簡單句群;如果句群內部的句子結構關係不止一種,其結構層次不止一層,就是多重句群。 句群的切分,是指一個自然段包含有幾個句群時,如何劃分句群的問題。劃分句群,主要是要根據句子之間的語義關係,分出自然段裡有幾個相對獨立的語義中心,圍繞著這些語義中心組合起來的句子,就是一個句群。要注意的是,組成自然段的不但有句群,也會有句子,切分時要把句群和句子分清楚。 ==相關條目== *[[歐化中文]] [[Category:汉语语法|*]] [[Category:特定語言語法]] {{漢語}} User talk:Yusunny/理想语备份资料 7442 52735 2010-03-19T13:37:38Z Yusunny 1376 Created page with '鉴于多年来理想语的实际进展,远比某些语言小条目更有理论成果和实际研发人群,所以我们不避"毛遂自荐"而要努力"雁过留声"贡献心…' 鉴于多年来理想语的实际进展,远比某些语言小条目更有理论成果和实际研发人群,所以我们不避"毛遂自荐"而要努力"雁过留声"贡献心智!其它门户和wiki网站已经有着非常多的宣传报道,只是本处新近条目在奥运开通期间却再度被删除,我们遗憾感觉到这里还是延续几年前的误解心态;为了避免彼此突然无法沟通交流,我们“理想语推行委员会”特此先在自己的User区域内予以留存改进,力争日后获得正式条目的显示机会:) 既然 理想语 是一个 现有语言(包括人造语的)集大成者,所以 可以说是 任何人 都是 理想语的 某地方言 爱好者,例如 只需 附加 WE前缀 就能调用 任何 英语词汇, 附加 WL前缀 就能调用 Lojnan 人造语言 各种词汇。。。所以 可知 只要 假以时日 深入 研判 理解, 大家 就能 认同 理想语 做为 一个 可以 逐步 wiki磨合 提炼 常用词汇的 交流语言,是 完全可以 获得 条目 身份的 :) 理想语 为 语言学界 提供了 许多崭新方式,虽然可能是 管理员 闻所未闻的,却是 极其有效,希望 能够得到 宽容对待:) ------------------------------- 理想语 主要以“理想语音图”为准 分清 (汉语普通话)自然语汇来源 和 其它逻辑推演“意筋”代码串,(从听觉上 就能 明细 区分, 例如 绝大多数 普通话学用人士 可以轻松掌握 《理想语音图》, 其中的26×26纵横交叉位置的就是“华东假名”, 也叫“中华假名”或者简称“飘假名”,形式上是(大写+小写)双合字母,大多数的交叉位置处 有汉字,则是 符合 声韵双拼 规律的汉字普通话音值;少数是 其它方言音值 甚至是“未定音值”;

;========================================================================== == 可以对于26*26个不相混淆的双合音节 进行推导的统一规则是: “Y月c 牌” 先定 双 选 大 ,若转儿化“空|己”刹:) 此两阙七言推导口诀 的具体解释为: 若z=黑牌N,L叠合红牌C时,由于z边沿图案含有c而能提示【Zc】双合音节 优先反切,固定不 变! 若黑牌Y叠合红牌x时,如果x边沿图案含有`(提示红牌=Y要固定不动),所以【Yx】双合音 节不再变化! 所以对于 以黑牌Y声母、红牌c韵母 (提示为“y月C”双合音字)两种牌要特别注意, 一旦 另一牌的边沿图案中 有其对应标记,则黑红叠牌双合音节 就直接反切 不再变动, 优先确认此【Zx】双合模式的发音不再变动,否则可能x另有一个韵辙, 在此情况下 需要 看x双韵所对应的黑牌Z相应位置的两个数目,选择较大的 一个所对应的红牌x为起点! 若黑牌Z边沿图案中含有">.<"转向符号,则红牌x作为起点可能要循环移动, 除非下一个位置是“自己”或者是“空位”;如果v是移动到达的刹车终点, 则双合韵母【Zv】音节还要进行儿化:) 逻辑 结果是, 若有"杨翠"匹配 就直接 反切双拼,否则 可能要双选大 定起点, 若有 转向符号 则需 对 声韵音节 进行 儿化, 在此之前 还要 依向 尽远 走到终点 来决定反切发音 ! 双合过程 所产生的 音节 已经超出了 普通话音节范围, 但保证 双合打字 可以 产生 所有的 双拼 全拼 汉字! 双合声韵推导图的内容极其浓缩精练:例如从其上沿和右沿可以析出注音等,而其基本结构为 : 极右侧【xy=O?】与右侧【xyO?注音】是表现注音的韵母,与其上下附近的拼音韵辙相同! 如果把极右侧【xy=O?】用回车键打入第二行单独成行,并且把 中间位置的【X{?}yyy 】写 成 【yyy=X】形式并放在“双拼自定义”文件.ini中的[韵母]区域,就可以匹配当前的各种可以 自定 义双拼的打字软件,例如紫光搜狗输入法平台等,好比“水涨船高”整体提升电脑传递语义信 息的 表述档次! 中间内容有些是每行左右两侧都具有括号的黑牌“四数”介质,则其左侧是若干义母的按声归 类, 右侧有声母注音!如果中间是(国语)普通话“四呼”韵辙,则与右侧注音同一类型;并且互 相之间 若无黑牌“四数”隔离,则说明上下韵辙的儿化韵是具有相同音值的! 于是任意两个义母双合发音,都可以通过如下流程自我推导: 例如【Ga】双合假名,在图中可看到【ギG{购}_ou,shA{沙}_aaァ】等交叉位置丰富信息, 假想 黑牌G,a红牌的两张叠合(类似时钟的黑分针红秒针都从6六点左右转向九点左右)产生整体 拼图: 【; GKH 2- 1- 3- 0- ㄍㄎㄏ 】G 黑桃7 【; shA{沙}_aaァ D{嗲}iaaゃ R{挼}uaa  : A+_aaㄚ|a=OA 】a 方块10 【 】// ? 由于并未有A来产生第二行,所以只有【2- :A】有效对应关系,熟练掌握26字链口诀就知道 【购,沙】 音值,从而只能是双合假名【Ga】念读为“购沙”并反切得到g~a(普通话类似“嘎”字音! ) 再如【Gk】双合假名,在图中可看到【ギG{购}_ou,キK<== ien音,K{况}uag】等信息,假 想 黑牌G,k红牌的两张叠合)产生整体拼图: 【; GKH 2- 1- 3- 0- ㄍㄎㄏ 】G 黑桃7 【; X<== _en恩 キK<== ien音 ヒH{婚}uen H<== ven韵 X5_enㄣ|en=OX 】k 红心3 【; jY{杨}_ag ニN{娘}iag K{况}uag :

== 定義 == === 標準漢語 === {{主條目|標準漢語}} 一般意義上,“漢語”這個詞,多指[[現代標準漢語]],以[[北京話]]为标准语音、以[[北方官话]]为基础方言、以典范的[[现代白话文]]著作为[[语法规范]]<ref>[http://www.edu.cn/20011114/3009780.shtml 国务院关于推广普通话的指示(一九五六年二月二十日)]</ref>。在非表音情況下,僅指現代白話文的書面語,其他的方言白話文不能作為書面語。中小學中教授漢語的文字、語法、文學等的科目叫語文、中文、國文等,都是[[中國語文科]]之謂。[[大陆]]的語文課,以[[普通話]]授課;在[[香港]]和[[澳門]]以[[粵語]]授課而另設[[普通话]]課程,或者双语授課;而在台灣則以國語授課。大陆之“[[普通话]]”、[[台灣]]之“[[中華民國國語|國語]]”、[[新加坡|新]][[马来西亚|马]]地区之“华语”,在某些漢字的取音上是有一定程度的差异的,而且口語讀音也出現不少分野,亦有一些汉字的读音在三者中根本不同。而漢語作為一個[[語種]]是普通話(国语)以及眾多方言的統稱,包括粵語、吳語、客家話等。 漢語是[[联合国]]规定的六种正式語言之一,亦為當今世界上作为母语使用人数最多的語言。在[[中國大陸]]、[[香港]]、[[澳門]]、[[台湾]]和[[新加坡]],漢語被定為[[官方語言]]。很多國家都開始將漢語列為第二外語,加入授課內容。 === 漢語方言 === {{主條目|漢語方言}} 关于汉语方言的地位,中外学者一直存在争议。因为按照[[语言学]]的一般观点,若两种话语间不能直接通话,则这两种话语可定义为两种不同的语言;若两者间有或大或小的差别,但可以直接通话,则两者可定义为同一种语言的两种不同方言。有很多西方語言學家据此將漢語視爲一個[[語族]],稱為[[漢語族]]。而从[[文字]]、使用者、政治、文化的统一性的角度(即所谓[[大一统]]思想)来看,大部分中国学者认为汉语是门[[語言學|语言]]。因此在2007年的国际认证 ISO 639-3 国际语种代号的编制中,[[国际标准化组织]]直接把汉语分为13种语言,cdo – 闽东语,cjy – 晋语,cmn – 北方话,cpx – 莆仙语,czh – 徽语,czo – 闽中语,gan – 赣语,hak – 客家话,hsn – 湘语,mnp – 闽北语,nan – 闽南语,wuu – 吴语,yue – 粤语。 目前,[[大陆]]和[[台湾]]均以現代標準漢語為通用語言,但同时在[[广东]]、[[香港]]與[[澳門]]等地区以及不少海外華人多以粵語作為通用語,另外使用[[普通话]]、[[客家話]]、[[閩南話]]或其他家乡语言(漢语方言)的人会使用自已的[[母语]]作為社區交際通用語言。 === 文體 === 汉语作为以[[表意文字]]为[[文字]]系统的语言,文字高度的统一与规范,现代汉语有统一和规范的语法。但是汉字在表音上面並不直接而確切。在漫长的历史时期内,汉字的读音发生了巨大变化,并导致方言发音差异较为显著。但是汉语书面语言规范,減少了因為方言差异造成的书面交流障碍。 [[白话文运动]]之前所使用的书面语叫做“[[文言文|文言]]”,是一种以上古汉语所使用的以“雅言”为基础的书面语。在现代汉语的书面语中,雖然文言已经很少使用了,但是在中國大陸、港澳和台灣的中國語文教學中,文言文仍然佔有重要的地位。[[白话文运动]]之后所推动的书面汉语通常被称为“[[白话]]”,即以[[北方官話]]为基础的现代书面语。 文言文在古代的一些東亞、東南亞國家都是官方行文的標準,而現時東亞國家使用文言文亦可交流,但是這種傳統的語言因為使用者越來越少,而改為使用現代文體,即學習外語來交流。 == 历史 == 汉语是世界上最古老和至今通用语言时间最长的语言之一。汉语的历史演变是一个很有趣的问题。汉语的书写系统——汉字,非表音文字,不能如表音文字那样直接知道同一个字历史上的发音。幸运的是,在汉字(特别是形声字)、诗歌的韵律以及对外国人名的翻译中可以找到有效的信息。因為口語不斷地在演變,表音文字漸漸會隨著時間演變,這也是導致一個文明變成古文明的原因,因為後人非常可能無法明白前人所表達的意思。漢字因為是非表音文字,而且一直是用文言文而不用方言來寫文章,现代的中國人到現在都可以明白兩千年前孔子所寫的文章。此不可不謂拜文言所賜。

{{主條目|上古汉语}} 相传[[黄帝]]时中原有“万国”,[[夏朝]]时还有三千国,[[周]]初分封八百诸侯,而“五方之民,言语不通”(《[[礼记]]·王制》)。 上古汉语存在于[[周朝]]前期和中期(公元[[前11世纪]]到[[前7世纪]]),文字记录有[[青铜器]]上的刻铭、《[[诗经]]》、历史书《[[书经]]》以及部分《[[易经]]》。 [[春秋時期|春秋]]初期,见于记载的诸侯国还有170多个。至[[戰國 (中國)|战国]]时期,形成“七雄”,“诸侯力政,不统于王,……言语异声,文字异形”(《[[说文解字]]·叙》)。 先秦[[诸子百家]]在著作中使用被称为“[[雅言]]”的共同语。“子所雅言,《诗》、《书》、执礼,皆雅言也。”(《[[论语]]·述而》) 秦统一天下之后,实行“车同轨,书同文,行同伦”,规范了文字,以[[小篆]]作为正式官方文字。 重构上古汉语的工作开始于[[清朝]]的语言学家。西方的古汉语先锋是[[瑞典]]的语言学家[[高本汉]],他主要研究汉字的形式和诗经的韵律。 === 中古汉语 === {{主條目|中古汉语}} 这种汉语使用于[[隋朝]]、[[唐朝]]和[[宋朝]](公元[[7世纪]]到[[10世纪]]),可以分为《[[切韵]]》(公元601年)涉及到的早期以及《[[广韵]]》(公元10世纪)所反映的晚期。高本汉把这个阶段称为“古代汉语”。 语言学家已能较自信地重构中古汉语的语音系统。这种证据来自几个方面:多样的现代方言、韵书以及对外语的翻译。 正如印欧语系的语言可以由现代印欧语言重构一样,中古汉语也可以由方言重建。另外,中国古代的文学家花费了很大的精力来总结汉语的语音体系,这些资料仍然是现代语言学家工作的基础。最后,汉语的语音可以从对外国语言的翻译中了解到。 === 近代汉语 === {{主條目|近代汉语}} 近代汉语是古代汉语与现代汉语之间以早期白话文献为代表的汉语。 《[[水浒传]]》《[[西游记]]》等书所用语言即为近代汉语。 === 现代汉语 === {{主條目|現代標準漢語}} 现代汉语是以北方话为基础方言,以典范的现代白话文著作为语法规范的汉语。 1913年,读音统一会通过投票方式确定了“国音”标准,这种标准音习惯上称之为“[[老国音]]”。'''1923年''',当时的国语统一筹备会成立了“国音字典增修委员会”,决定采用北京语音标准,称之为“[[新国音]]”。 == 使用現狀 == 世界上大約有五分之一人口以漢語為[[母語]],主要集中在中國。同時在[[海外華人]]當中使用。但是要注意的是,漢語方言之間不一定能互通,不同方言的人之間一般人會使用漢語標準語(大陸稱為普通話,台湾稱為國語、东南亚称为华语)來通話。在其他許多地區,也有很多學習者。 == 系統 == === 汉语声调 === 汉语所有方言基本均为[[声调语言]],其声调在漫长的历史时期中不断地分化组合。在学术界,通常以“平上去入”四声作为基本声调分类。在平上去入四类的基础上,加上阴,阳,上,下等形容词作为[[清濁音|清浊]]的标记。例如“阴入”,“阳入”,意为“清入声”和“浊入声”。其他以此类推。 汉语声调的变化,是推断古汉语语音的一个重要语音学证据。现存各方言中的声调调类和调值,也是推断此方言保留继承了那一历史时期的古汉语语音的最重要的语音学证据。 古汉语的声调,现在学术界比较倾向于[[王力 (语言学家)|王力]]的“促舒四调”一说,舒声调有平声,上声,浊声调为长入,短入。 随后在两汉时期,去声大量从“浊上”这一声调中转化出来,被称为“浊上变去”。 在[[曹魏|魏]][[晋朝|晋]][[南北朝]]期间,汉语[[四声]]稳定为“平上去入”四声,但具体清浊调值则尚未研究清楚。此后,“平上去入”四声作为汉语的标准四声规范,一直沿用到[[宋朝|宋]][[元朝|元]]时期。 入声通常以-p,-t,-k,为辅音结尾。但在宋代,三种辅音结尾开始界限模糊,出现了混合入声。随后在元代,官话方言逐渐形成,入声在华北等地的官话方言中消亡,原本唸入聲的字,分到了別的音裡面,例如:雪、白等,有時造成詩歌裡平仄分辨錯誤的狀況。但是同时期的南方方言和一些官话方言在南方地区的次级方言,仍然保留了入声。 到了明清,入声消亡的情形在北方地区进一步加剧,并且“平声”逐渐出现了清浊之分,是为“阴平”和“阳平”。到了现代,以北方方言为基础的大陆地区“普通话”,台湾地区“国语”,[[马来西亚]]和[[新加坡]]的“华语”。均没有入声。但是,这三种官方语言的声调为“阴平,阳平,上声,去声”,仍然为四声。但是,此“四声”并非中古汉语“四声”。 汉语各方言可从其声调的类别和入声的存在和消亡程度粗略的推断出其保留了哪一时期的古汉语音韵结构。 其中,[[闽语]]-p,-t,-k,和模糊入声都有,证明闽语历史上受到不同时期汉语音韵的多次重叠覆盖。粤语中只有-p,-t,-k,没有混合入声,但却保留有极少见的“长入”“短入”之分。可认为是较多的保留了上古并中古汉语音韵,更侧重于中古汉语。 [[客家话]]與[[赣语]]保留-p,-t,-k,[[吴语]]和[[湘语]]都只有混合入声。 “官话方言”绝大多数次级方言都没有入声,学术界基本认定“官话方言”形成于宋元之后。 === 汉语书面语 === [[文言文]]和[[白话文]]都是汉语的书面语。 [[白话文运动]]之前所使用的书面语叫做“文言”,是一种以孔子时代所使用的以“雅言”为基础的书面语。[[白话文运动]]之后所推动的书面汉语通常被称为“白话”,即以[[北方官話]]为基础的现代书面语。在现代汉语的书面语中,文言已经很少使用了。 语言的特点也不是纯粹用时间作标准就可以划分开的,比如[[宋朝|宋]][[元朝|元]]人的一些[[笔记小说]],以及后来的一些[[白话小说]],与现代汉语很相似,但同正式场合使用的文体不同。同样的,就在[[白话文运动]]以后,一些官方文书和文艺作品仍然采用文言文文体,另一些作品则介于两者之间。 === 汉字 === {{主條目|汉字}} 漢字是漢語書寫的最基本單元,其使用最晚始於商代,歷經甲骨文、大篆、小篆、隸書、楷書(草書、行書)諸般書體變化。[[秦始皇]]統一[[中國]],[[李斯]]整理小篆,“書同文”的歷史從此開始。儘管漢語方言發音差異很大,但是書寫系統的統一減少了方言差異造成的交流障礙。汉字的书写也不尽相同,所以出现许多[[异体字]],还有历朝历代规定一些[[避讳]]的汉字书写(改字,缺笔等),但一般不影响阅读。 [[東漢]][[許慎]]在《[[說文解字]]》中將漢字構造規律概括為“六書”:象形、指事、會意、形聲、轉注、假借。其中,象形、指事、會意、形聲四項為造字原理,是“造字法”;而轉注、假借則為用字規律,是“用字法”。 三千餘年來,漢字的書寫方式變化不大,使得後人得以閱讀古文而不生窒礙。但近代西方文明進入[[東亞]]之後,整個漢字文化圈的各個國家紛紛掀起了學習西方的思潮,許多使用漢字國家即進行了不同程度的漢字簡化,甚至還有完全拼音化的嘗試。日文假名的拉丁轉寫方案以及漢語多種拼音方案的出現都是基於這種思想。[[中國大陸]]將漢字筆劃參考異體字行書草書加以省簡,於[[1956年]][[1月28日]]審訂通過《[[簡化字總表]]》,在[[中國大陸|大陸]]、[[馬來西亞]]及[[新加坡]]使用至今。[[台灣]]、[[香港]]和[[澳門]]則一直使用傳統漢字(亦稱正體中文)。 === 汉语语法 === {{主條目|汉语语法}} 汉语是一种[[孤立语]],不同于[[印欧语系]]的很多具有曲折变化的语言,汉语的词汇只有一种形式而没有诸如[[复数]]、[[词性]]、[[词格]]、[[时态]]等曲折变化。 汉语存在用于表达时间的副词(“昨天”、“以后”)以及一些表示不同动作状态的助词。助词也用来表达问句;现代标准汉语中问句的语序与陈述句的语序相同(主—谓—宾结构),只使用末尾的语气助词,例如在普通话中的“吗”,来表达疑问语气。名词的复数形式只在代词及多音节(指人)名词中出现。 因为没有曲折变化,汉语与欧洲语言,如[[罗曼语族]]语言相比,语法看似简单。然而,汉语语法中由词序、助词等所构成的句法复杂程度却又大大地超过了以拉丁语为例的曲折性语言。 例如,汉语中存在“体”用于表达不同的时间发生的动作及其状态(目前这种看法存在分歧)。如“了”或“过”常用于表示已经发生的动作,但二者存在差别:第一个是指「完成式」,表示完成某件事,例如“我做完了這項工作”(I have finished this task),另一个却意味着「過去式」表示曾經做過某件事,并不与目前相关,例如“我做過這項工作”(I have done this task before)。汉语还有一套复杂的系统用于区分方向、可能以及动作是否成功,例如“走”及“走上来”、“打”及“打碎”、“看”及“看不懂”、“找”及“找到”。最后,现代标准汉语的名词与数词连接时通常要求有[[量词]]。因此必须说“兩條麵包”(two loaves of bread)而不是“兩麵包”(*two breads)。其中的“條”是一个量词。在汉语中有大量的量词,而且在现代标准汉语中每一个量词都对应一定的名词使用。 此外,漢語文言文中的助詞運用十分的多且複雜。例如:「有朋自遠方來,不亦說乎(孔子)」其中的「乎」便是無意義的語尾助詞,「大去之其不遠矣」的「矣」亦是。 过去认为汉语方言间的语法区别不大,通过近二十年的工作,这个结论受到了挑战{{Fact|time=2007-08-10T11:13:39Z}}。在使用白话文之后,如果依照“普通话”,“国语”和华语所规定的以“北方白话文为语法规范”而书写,各地方言语法也是高度统一的。但是如果严格按照各地方言自身的“白话文”(即口语)来书写的话,将导致相互难以沟通。 目前,将本地方言白话文(口语),而非北方方言白话文作为普遍书写习惯的地区有广东,香港和澳门。粤语白话文在香港和澳门有半官方的书写地位。香港和澳门的普遍正式学校教育,都会教授学生写作标准的汉语文章,合乎现代汉语。要求学生写作文章,不论中国内地、台湾人都能读能明。「口语入文」会被视为书写语误,学生写作表达能力偏低的表现。政府官方文件必以标准现代汉语行文,商界、民間的公文往來亦以现代汉语为主。报章正文(如头版、本地、国际、财经等)大多以现代汉语行文,其他副刊内文,如娱乐、体育等则常以粤语口语入文,可见现代汉语与「口语入文」仍有主次之分。部分香港居民和澳门居民在非正式书写时,会使用粤语白话文,相当多媒体也会使用粤语白话文。 == 汉语的地域分支 == === 方言与语言 === 汉语[[口语]]在不同地方的分歧是相当大的。从大的范围上说,如[[北京话]]、[[上海话]]、[[广州话]]等完全不能互通,假如將以上三種語言的口語直接記錄成文字,非本地人則根本無法理解;从小的范围上说,汉语(尤其在中国大陆南方)“[[十里不同音]]”,[[浙江]]、[[福建]]甚至出现一个县有十数种不同口音的现象。即使在官話内部,亦因为地域不同而存在口音差异。这种“十里不同音”现象和官话内部的口音差异现象仅仅只表现在口音差异和极个别的语法差异上,口音虽不同但仍然在“同一语言”范畴里面,不至于像北京话、上海话、广州话那样差异已经在语音、语法、词汇各方面都大到语言区分级别。 漢語的書寫文字主要使用[[漢字]],某些汉语分支使用其他书写系统,例如[[东干语]]使用[[西里尔字母]]的[[表音文字|拼音文字]],闽南语和客家话各自有使用[[拉丁字母]]的[[白话字]]。[[白話文|現代漢語白話文]]是基於標準官話([[國語]]或[[普通話]])的語音和語法的書面語言。由於官話是漢語內部的優勢分支,非官話漢語使用者也長期接受現代漢語白話文教育,能夠使用標準的現代漢語白話文,儘管與他們的母語在語音、詞彙和語法上都不吻合。這種文-言脫離的現象在現代漢語白話文興起之前人民使用[[文言文]]時的文-言脫離現象類似。 独立语言与方言的区别划定,除考虑[[语音]]上的通话度外,语音上的源流、[[语法]]、[[词汇]]、[[文字|书写系统]],以及东西方对“由文致语”或“由语致文”的认识差异,甚至涉及使用者的认同感、[[政治]]因素。因此,关于汉语是单语还是多语合集的问题,基于语言学特征的不同侧重点,目前中國大陸多數汉语使用者还是认为汉语为单一语言,不同地域的汉语分支是汉语的不同方言。 中国历史上并非没有语言、方言之争。中国部份学者几千年来一直将吴语、闽语、粤语等称作汉语的方言,而另一部份学者则把它们定性为语言。有人引用西汉扬雄所著的《方言》一书以声称粤语为方言,但由於西汉时“言”只能表示“口语”,而非现代语言学意义上的“语言”,因此不足为信。近代以后,西方语言学传入中国。而在西方语言学里,互相之间不能通话的应该被定性为不同是语言(langues)而非不同方言(dialectes))。由於不同汉语言说话者(至少在口语上)通常不能互相通话,於是引起关于吴语、闽语、粤语等是方言还是语言的争论。一些学者为了表明汉语的特殊情况,创造了regionalect或topolect等词,来对译不同汉语言(或曰“汉语的方言”)。(詳見[http://resources.edb.gov.hk/~chinjour/no70/70_15.htm 中英對譯])。 总体而言: * 在语言学者中,中国大陆的学者较多地使用“方言”一词指称相互有差别的汉语<ref>使用「方言」一詞,是中國大陸語言學界的慣例(事實上,大陸研究漢語內部差異的學科就叫「漢語方言學」),並不代表此詞的使用者一定贊同「方言論」。</ref>,而大陆以外的学者,部分人认为汉语内部只存在方言,部分人则认为汉语内部可分解成多种独立的语言; * 在操汉语的非语言学人士中,多数人由于受到汉语词汇、汉字以及中国大陆官方对主流学术观点宣传的影响,都用“方言”来指称相互有差别的汉语。部分人排除民族、文化、政治上的干扰,从纯粹语言学角度研究,主張將漢語視為一個包含一組[[親屬語言]]的[[語族]]。這種觀點也得到中國國内部分學者的支持<ref>参见李敬忠《语言演变论》,广州出版社,1994。ISBN 7-80592-204-7</ref>。 在一些语言学的中文出版物中,確實存在“[[汉语语族]]”或“漢語族”的说法。不过这种说法仅见于诸如介绍[[汉藏语系]]的总概中,并没有专门的论文来讨论。事实上,尽管语言学界对汉藏语系的构成有争论,但都同意将汉语定为汉藏语系之下的相当于“语族”的地位。雖然這種分類意見得到一部分語言學家的贊同,但在具體細分上仍然存在尖銳的對立觀點。一種觀點認爲,汉语和汉语语族只是形式上的差别,汉语族只含一个语支即汉语支,汉语支下只含一个语言即汉语;另一種觀點認爲,漢語族下包含若干個語支,各語支下包含若干語種,各語種包含若干方言。 [[瑞典]]著名[[汉学]]家[[高本汉]]在其著作《中国音韵学研究》中将[[朝鲜语]]、[[日本语]]、[[越南语]]等其他语言称作汉语的“域外方言”。这是作者在汉语研究的特殊条件下为贯彻历史[[比较语言学]]的方法而采用的比拟性质的简便说法,并不意味着作者当真认为这几种语言也属于汉语。目前世界上绝大部分使用或接触过这些语言的人也不会把这些语言当作汉语的方言,尽管这些语言当中存在大量汉语[[借词]]。 === 汉语的分支 === {{主條目|汉语方言}} 汉语所包含的语言种类问题,在[[语言学]]界颇有争议。目前有两种不同的观点:一种观点认为汉语只包括[[汉语]]一种[[语言]];另一種認為汉语包括[[闽语]]、[[粤语]]、[[客语]]、[[吴语]]、[[赣语]]、[[湘语]]等语言。[[中国]]国内的学者多数支持前者,而中国以外尤其西方多数学者从语言学的角度支持后者。支持后一种观点的人认为汉语不是一种单一的语言,而是一簇相互关联的有親屬關係的不同语言。支持前一种观点的人则将闽语、粤语、客语、吴语、赣语、湘语等列为[[汉语方言]],例如趙元任認為標準語(普通話)是方言,[[闽语]]、[[粤语]]等也是方言<ref>語言學家趙元任在1980年曾說:「在學術上講,標準語也是方言,普通所謂的方言也是方言,標準語也是方言的一種」。</ref>。然而實際上,習慣上所稱的「漢語方言」相互之間或與標準漢語之間無法互通,語言距離往往比歐洲同一語系之下的各種語言之間還要遠。例如一個只會西班牙語的人可能可以使用西班牙語和另一位只會葡萄牙語的人勉強達成溝通,但一個只會粵語的人和一位只會赣语的人對談時,是完全聽不懂對方在說什麼的。需要注意的是,西方學者之分析的普遍基準為拼音文字,故該觀點之於漢語(以及類似漢語的意音文字)的適用性尚可商榷。 中國國内語言學家根據漢語分支的不同特點,把漢語劃分為傳統的七大方言。在這七大方言內部,仍存在不同的次方言區。有時這些次方言區內的使用者也不能相互理解。在不同的方言區的人的語言意識也有一定的區別。例如,一個使用厦门话的厦门人可能會感到與操海南话的海口人有很多共同點,雖然他們可能在相互理解上存在一定的困难。 在地理上的方言分歧也是很明顯的。在華北官話、西北官話或者西南方話地區,相隔幾百公里的人一般可以相互口頭交流,但某些地区语音和词汇的变化也是很大的;然而在中国南方的许多地区,尤其是山区,較小地理範圍内可能存在相互口語交流困難的方言。{{fact|擧一個極端的例子,如[[福建]]某地,相隔只有十公里的當地居民也許已經不能自如口頭交流了。}}

官話 ==== [[官话]],或称[[官话方言]]、[[北方話]]等:指华北、东北及西北地區、[[湖北]]大部、[[四川]]、[[重庆]]、[[雲南]]、[[貴州]]、[[湖南]]北部、[[江西]]沿江地區、[[安徽]]、[[江蘇]]大部所使用的母語方言。官話大致分為[[華北官話]]、[[西北官話]]、[[西南官話]]、[[江淮官話]],华北官话分布在[[北方]][[东部]],以[[北京話]]為代表,西北官話分佈在[[北方]][[西部]],以[[西安話]]為代表,西南官話分佈在[[南方]][[西部]],以[[成都話]]為代表,江淮官話分佈在南方東部,以[[扬州話]]為江淮話的代表。上古时期的[[中原]][[雅音]]在[[五胡亂華]]、[[衣冠南渡]]后,分化成為中古汉语语音。而现代“官话方言”,主要形成于宋元时期。官话在形成之后,在南北方分别发展,由分化成了[[南方官話]]和[[北方官話]],為以後[[國語|中國各代的官方語言]],[[北方官話]]至今是現代標準漢語的基礎(中國大陸稱為普通話,臺灣稱為國語)。使用這一方言的人占中國人口的70%。 需要指出的是,“官话方言”,过去曾经称为“北方方言”,并不局限于中国北方。相反,中国西南地区和江淮地区的南方方言也属于官话方言。 官话的明顯特點包括:失落了全部中古入聲,中古漢語中的“-p,-t,-k,-m,-n,-ng”韻尾現在只剩下“-n,-ng”,但出現了大量[[兒化韻]]“-r”韻尾。原本連接“i,ü”韻母的“g,k,h”聲母已被[[顎音化]]成“j,q,x”聲母。官话話在失去清濁對立的過程中,沒有經過劇烈的聲調分化,但出現了中古[[四聲|平上去入]]以外的輕聲。因此,官话方言包含了大量的同音字以及相應産生的複合詞。上述現象在其他方言中比較少見。 ==== 吳語 ==== {{主條目|吳語|上海話|蘇州話}} [[吴语]],或称[[吴方言]]:在中国[[江蘇]]南部、[[安徽]]南部、[[上海]]和[[浙江]]大部分地区使用。典型的吳語以[[苏州话]]為代表。其中安徽西南部受贛語影响,浙江南部保留了较多古代百越话特征,以至不能和作为典型吴语的太湖片吴语通话。使用人數大約為總人口的8.4%。這種方言的對清濁輔音的區分是一個很明顯的特點。但吴语保留了中古汉语的模糊入声。 ==== 客家話 ==== [[客家话]],或称[[客语]]:在中國南方的客家人和絕大多數[[畲族]]人中廣泛使用,包括[[廣東]]東部、北部、福建西部、江西南部、廣西東南部等地,以梅縣話為代表;此外在臺灣也有相當的操客家話的族群。 雖然是一種南方方言,但客家話是在北方移民南下影響中形成的。客家話因而保留了一些中古中原話的特點。使用客家話的人口大約占總人口的5%。客家方言的特点是平声,上声不分阴阳,但入声,去声分阴阳。 ==== 閩語 ==== {{主條目|閩語}} [[闽语]],或称[[闽方言]]:在[[福建]]、[[海南]]、[[廣東]]東部、[[菲律賓]]、[[台湾]]、[[新加坡]]、[[马来西亚]]还有其他海外的一些華人中使用。由於閩語的內部分歧比較大,通常分為[[闽南语|閩南方言]](以廈門話為代表)、閩北話(以[[建瓯话]]为代表)、[[閩東話]](以[[福州話]]為代表)、莆仙方言和閩中方言。閩語是所有方言中,唯一不完全與[[中古漢語]]韻書存在直接對應的方言,其中以[[閩南語]]最具影响。但是,根据现有的语音学研究,闽语的音系相当接近[[上古汉语]]的音系。 [[閩南語]](狭义的,即閩台片闽南话)共有“-m,-n,-ng,-p,-t,-k,-ʔ”(貌似問号的國際音標是緊喉音。)在入聲 [-p/-t/-k] 消失之前,先發生‘入声弱化’,[-p/-t/-k] 全部變成 ʔ。山西方言仍保有這種弱化入聲)”七種輔音韻尾。閩南語是漢語中聲調较複雜的方言之一,泉州音有8個聲調(不含轻声),漳州音、厦门音、同安音、台湾音通常有七個声调(不含轻声調、高聲調)。同時,閩南語也是保留中古漢語最完整的方言之一。泉州音和漳州音是其它支系的母语,閩(南)台片的閩南语内部较为一致。广义的闽南方言还包括海南话、潮州话、浙南闽语等,使用閩南語的人口大約為總數的4.2%。 ==== 粵語 ==== {{主條目|粵語|廣州話|粵語白話文}} [[粵语]]:以[[廣州話]]為標準,在[[廣東]]、[[香港]]、[[澳門]]、[[广西]]的東部和[[海外華人]]中使用,中國的一些少數民族如[[京族]]、部份[[壯族]]也使用粵語。粵語是漢語眾多分支中[[聲調]]最複雜的一種。[[標準粵語]]有九個声调,某些方言如勾漏方言、桂南平話方言具有十个声调。粵語完整保留了[[中古漢語]]的 -p、-t、-k、-m、-n、-ng 六種輔音韻尾。粤语没有混合入声,可以认为粤语中保留的古汉语成分要早于吴语,但晚于闽语,大約對應[[隋]][[唐]]時期的中古漢語。絕大部份漢字都有對應的粵語發音。粵語的口語和社會上普遍使用的[[白話文|現代漢語白話文]]在詞彙、語法上差別非常大,存在嚴重的文、言脫離現象。粵語有一套自己的書面的白話文表示方式,參見[[粵語白話文]]。粵语內部具有多種方言,詳細請參看[[粵語方言]]。使用粵语的漢族人口大約為漢族人口總數的5%。海外華人特別是美洲、澳洲華人有相当一部分都是粵語區移民,普遍使用粵語。 ==== 湘语 ==== [[湘语]],或称[[湘方言]]:在[[湖南]]使用。按是否保留浊声母分类,可分为[[老派湘语|老湘]]和[[新派湘语|新湘]]兩類,其中浊声母已全部清化的新湘語相对接近[[西南官话]]。分别以長沙話(新)及雙峰話(老)為代表,使用者約占總人口的5%。历史上湖南湖北两省受到北方文化的强烈影响,故湘语内部差异比较大。并且有多个时期古汉语语音特征之重叠。 ==== 赣语 ==== [[赣语]],或称[[赣方言]]:以南昌話為代表,主要用於江西大部、湖南東南部。使用人數約為2.4%。赣方言在音-{系}-上与客家方言十分接近,因此学术界有将赣客方言统一归类的提议。 ==== 其他方言 ==== 下面的幾種方言是否構成獨立的大方言區,現在尚有爭議: * [[晋语]]:在[[山西]]绝大部分以及[[陕西]]北部、[[河北]]西部、[[河南]]西北部、[[内蒙古]][[河套地区]]等地使用,以[[太原话]]为代表,有[[入声韵]]—— [-ʔ](這貌似問号的國際音標是緊喉音。在入聲 [-p/-t/-k] 消失之前,先發生‘入声弱化’,[-p/-t/-k] 全部變成 [-ʔ])。其[[白读系统]]与[[官话]]截然不同。以前(及现在的不少语言学学者)将其归于[[官话]]。 * [[平话]]:在[[广西]]的部分地区使用。傳統上將[[桂南平话]]归于[[粤语]],近年來有人主張將[[桂北平话]]当成孤立的土语存在。 * [[徽語]]:在[[安徽]]南部及[[赣]][[浙]][[苏]]部分毗邻地区使用。以前(及现在的部分语言学学者)将其归于[[吳語]]。 ==== 东干语 ==== [[东干语]]为汉语[[中原官话]]和[[兰银官话]]在中国境外的特殊变体。融合了[[俄语]]、[[阿拉伯语]]、[[波斯语]]和[[突厥语]]等语言的部分词汇。 == 影响 == === 对其它语言的影响 === 漢語也曾对其周边的国家的語言文字产生过重要影响,如[[日語]]、[[朝鲜語]]、[[越南語]]中都保留有大量的漢語借词以及漢語书写体系。在新词汇的产生过程中,亦对少数民族语言产生影响。如[[手机]]、[[信号]]等词被[[维吾尔语]]、[[苗语]]等少数民族语言借用。 === 受其他語言的影響 === 在古代,随着佛教的传入,[[梵文]]对汉语书面语的语法和词汇产生较大影响,并推动了口语应用文体的发展;后来在民族融合的进程中,[[蒙古语]]、[[滿語]]等相继与汉语接触,出现了不少词语借用;近代特别是[[五四运动]]以后,[[和製漢語]]、[[俄語]]、[[英語]]詞彙大量傳入,語法也日漸受到英語等歐洲語言影響,形成了所谓[[歐化中文]]现象,这既部分适应了当代语言使用的需要,同时历来也招致民间和学术界不少尖锐的批评。目前汉语仍不断受到全球各种语言的复杂影响。汉语一脉相承,汉字汉化了所有的入侵,超方言的汉字统一了中国,拼音字则不然。<ref> '''语言定理'''。1786年威廉·琼斯爵士于提出,某些语言有着词汇、语法、构词法和语音使用上的相似性,因此它们必定是来自一个'''共同的祖语'''。现在流行的学术观念认为,…中国人也由非洲经中东印度越南经海上二三万年前到达,一二万年前已经遍布大陆,并越过白令海峡进入美洲。所以印度语言数量比中国的丰富,中国南方语言数量比北方的丰富。…这可以解释汉藏语系同源,汉语方言同源。[[语言进化论]]用树状图来理解、定位各语言的关系。 '''隔离下''',语言进化论又告诉我们,随着时间的流逝,那些成为分隔的词形就会越来越彼此趋异,从而在词汇中出现新词。如果从未发生过语言替换,则'''趋异就是语言变化的主要原因''',而语言地图就会呈现出语言小单元的镶嵌图的形式。这种镶嵌形式在澳大利亚北部的士著语言中很显著(Colin Renfrew《世界的语言多样性》)。…这可以解释中国南方山区方言的格局,也可解释华夏文明初期,中华大地方国部落有如群星灿烂。 '''交流下''',会产生所谓'''语言联盟''',即同一地区或毗邻地区通行的数种没有亲属关系的语言,由于长期接触,互相影响而获得语法、语音等方面的许多相似或共同特征。甚至音位和形态系统的相互渗透并无界限可言。如不同语系的数种巴尔干国家的语言,由于拜占庭文化在这个地区显示出的较强凝聚力和各语言间的相互影响、渗透,在长达几个世纪的接触中,不仅表现在词汇平面上,也表现在音位和形态、句法平面上,获得了被世人称为 "巴尔干语言特点" 的许多共同特征。…这可以解释汉字汉文化同质化了中国语言,同类化了日韩越语言。即使假定一些方言原本不是汉语也会汉化,如一种观念认为,客家话是选择了汉字才成为汉语的。 '''语言替换''',例如,奥塔戈大学的 C.F.W.Higham提出,(1)农业扩展带来语言替换的原因,…汉藏语系诸语言的扩展看来最初也是同黄河流域的粟和其它谷类植物的驯化有关,只是在更晚的时候才同稻的驯化有关。(2)在高度等级化的社会中,入侵的少数民族控制了权力杠杆并且以贵族自居,它'''赋予了它的语言以显赫的威望''',以致诱导本地人宁愿采用征服者的语言而不愿使用其母语。在华南,…汉语仅仅在历史时期由于秦帝国的军事扩展才开始使用。阿尔泰语言,特别是突厥诸语言,是在更晚的时候由骑在马背上的游牧部族的精英统治带到遥远的地方的(Colin Renfrew《世界的语言多样性》)。…这可以解释今天多数中国人都觉得北京话好听,其实汉唐却是西京话、宋代是东京话、明代是南京话,因为它们相差很远,所以并非存在“好听”,只是“感觉”。</ref> ==参见== * [[汉语族]] == 註解 == {{註腳}} == 參考資料 == === 參考字典、词典 === * [[新華字典]] * [[現代漢語詞典]] * [[國語大字典]] *

古人曾采用[[直音法|直音]]、[[讀若法|讀若]]、[[反切]]等方法为汉字注音。漢末魏晉南北朝時,相繼漸知反切,分辨宮商角-{徵}-羽[[五聲|五音]],分別平上去入[[四聲]]<ref name="中國文化史"> [[柳翼謀]]:《[[中國文化史

[[1892年]],[[卢戆章]]仿拉丁字母造“中国切音新字”字母,并主张以南京语音为汉语语音标准,这被认为是统一全国语音的首倡者。[[1900年]][[王照]]受日本片假名启发创制汉字笔画型拼音字母“官话合声字母”,并主张以北京语音为汉语语音标准。 中国民族知识分子采用拉丁字母设计汉语的注音最早可以追溯到[[1906年]][[朱文熊]]的《[[江苏新字母]]》和[[1908年]][[刘孟扬]]的《[[中国音标字书]]》,还有[[1926年]]的[[国语罗马字]]和[[1931年]]的[[拉丁化新文字]]。所有这些汉字拉丁化方案都为汉语拼音的制定提供了基础。 [[1909年]],[[江谦]]正式提出把官话定名为[[国语]],[[1911年]][[清朝|清]]学部通过《统一国语办法法案》。[[1913年]][[中华民国]]召开[[读音统一会]],最后确定“国音”以北京语音为“基础”,同时吸收各地方言的语音特点,并为国语创制了-{注}-音字母(又称“-{注}-音符号”)。[[1919年]][[北洋政府]]教育部设[[国语统一筹备会]],[[1924年]]决定废除国音,放弃入声,确立国语以北京语音为标准音,[[1928年]][[国民政府]]公布推行国语罗马字拼音法式。 [[1936年]][[斯诺]]访问陕北时,发现[[徐特立]]正在苏区进行汉语拉丁化拼音方案的试验,并称这套方案基本能满足汉语拼音化的改革。此事被记入《西行漫记》一书,这套拼音方案也成为1949年建国后大陆文字改革的基石之一。 [[1949年]]初,国语罗马字的创始人之一[[黎锦熙]]给[[吴玉章]]写信并当面交换对文字改革的见解。 [[1949年]][[8月25日]],[[吴玉章]]给[[毛泽东]]写信,请示当前文字改革工作指导原则:“根据文字应当力求科学化、国际化、大众化的原则,中国文字应改成拼音文字,并以改成罗马字的,也就是拉丁化的拼音为好,不要注音字母式拼音与日本假名式拼音。”毛泽东把信批复给[[郭沫若]]、[[茅盾]]等人研究。 1949年[[8月28日]],吴玉章等在华北大学举行了[[中国文字改革协会|文字改革协会]]第三次发起人会议,新增[[胡乔木]]、[[聂真]]为发起人。 1949年9月1日,毛泽东指定吴玉章、[[成仿吾]]、[[范文澜]]、[[马叙伦]]、郭沫若、[[沈雁冰]](笔名茅盾)等共同组织中国文字改革协会。 1949年[[10月10日]],[[中国文字改革协会]]正式成立。 1949年[[10月20日]],中国文字改革协会举行了第一次理事会议,决定把研究拼音文字作为主要任务。 1949年[[12月4日]],中国文字改革协会召开了第一次常务理事会,推选吴玉章为常务理事会主席兼拼音方案研究委员会主任;推选[[黎锦熙]]、[[胡乔木]]为副主席兼拼音方案研究委员会副主任。 中国文字改革协会成立不到半年,就收到了几百种汉语新文字方案。 [[1950年]]7月,[[教育部]]邀请在京的语文研究工作者30多人座谈,提出了组织[[中国文字改革研究委员会]]的建议。 [[1951年]][[12月26日]],周恩来指示,在[[中央人民政府政务院]][[文化教育委员会]]下设立一个中国文字改革研究委员会。 [[1952年]][[2月5日]],中国文字改革研究委员会召开成立大会,由[[马叙伦]]主持。 根据毛泽东关于制定民族形式的汉语拼音文字方案的指示,中国文字改革研究委员会从[[1952年]]3月开始了以制定汉字笔画式拼音方案为主的研究工作。 [[1952年]]8月,中国文字改革研究委员会召开第二次全体委员会议。 1952年10月,中国文字改革研究委员会下设的拼音方案组召开会议,通过一个汉语拼音字母表,其中声母24个,韵母37个。 [[1953年]]初,毛泽东审阅了拼音方案组拟定的中国拼音文字字母草稿。他认为这套拼音字母在拼音的方法上虽然简单了,但笔画还是太繁,有些比注音字母更难写。 1953年6月,拼音方案组拟出5种草案,后议定以[[吴玉章]]的方案为基础,深入探讨。拼音方法以双拼为主。 中国共产党中央委员会为了加强对文字改革工作的指导,于[[1953年]][[10月1日]]在党中央成立了[[中央文字问题委员会]]。 [[1953年]][[11月21日]],中央文字问题委员会召开第二次会议,研究了整理和简化汉字问题;根据中国文字改革研究委员会一年多来研究所得的材料,向中央写了请示报告,提出了可以首先实行的4项初步改革办法。即: # 推行简体字。 # 统一异体字。 # 确定常用字,并对非常用字加注音。 # 极少数汉字改用拼音字母。 [[1954年]][[7月15日]],中国文字改革研究委员会召开第四次全体委员会议,对拼音方案组提出的5种民族形式的拼音方案草案进行讨论,但始终无法从中确立出一个令人满意的方案。 [[1954年]]10月,周恩来提议设立“[[中国文字改革委员会]]”,并指示:拼音方案可以采用拉丁化,但是要能标出四声。 1954年[[10月8日]],[[第一届全国人民代表大会]]常务委员会第二次会议,批准设立中国文字改革委员会,作为国务院直属机构。 在试制民族形式的汉语拼音方案前后,1950年到1955年,全国各地[[工农兵]]、机关干部、学校师生和海外华侨共633人寄来了655个汉语拼音文字方案,文字改革研究委员会从中选择了264种,编印成《各地人士寄来汉语拼音文字方案汇编》两册,作为制定汉语拼音方案的重要参考资料。 汉语拼音文字方案大致有这样几种形式: * 汉字笔画式 * 拉丁字母式 * [[斯拉夫字母]]式 * 几种字母的混合形式 * [[速记]]式 * [[图案]]式 * [[数字]]形式 [[1954年]][[11月20日]],国务院任命[[吴玉章]]为中国文字改革委员会主任,[[胡愈之]]为副主任;吴玉章、胡愈之、[[韦悫]]、[[丁西林]]、[[叶恭绰]]为常务委员,并进行成立中国文字改革委员会的筹备工作。 [[1954年]][[12月23日]],中国文字改革委员会正式成立并举行第一次全体会议。会议最后通过了修正后的《汉字简化方案(初稿)》和《一九五五年工作计划大纲(草案)》。在成立大会上吴玉章提出工作任务,这就是做好三项准备工作: # 制定《汉字简化方案》 # 制定《汉语拼音方案》 # 研究和推行标准音(普通话)的教学。 [[1955年]]2月,文改会成立拼音方案委员会。 [[1955年]][[5月6日]],[[刘少奇]]听取汇报后,提出三点意见: # 为了减少社会震动,简化字要分期分批进行,原来的繁体字要保留一个时期,不要马上废除。 # 汉民族要有统一的语言,学校要用普通话进行教学。可以考虑做出这样的规定:老师在一定时期内学会普通话,今后凡是不会讲普通话的,不能当教师。 # 拼音方案制定后,要用来作试验,可以试译《[[毛泽东选集]]》。 教育部和文改会于[[1955年]][[10月15日]]至23日,联合召开了全国文字改革会议,参加会议的有来自全国28个省、市、自治区和中央一级有关机关、人民团体和部队的代表207人。会议上提出用“普通话”代替“国语”这个名称,并确定了普通话“以北京语音为标准音”的语音标准,从而解决了《汉语拼音方案》的语音标准问题。中国文改会秘书长叶籁士汇报了几年来研制汉语拼音方案的工作情况,同时提出六种汉语拼音方案的初稿,征求到会代表的意见。会议代表讨论并一致通过了《汉字简化方案修正草案》和《第一批异体字整理表草案》。 从[[1956年]][[1月1日]]起,中华人民共和国境内报刊实行了横排横写。 [[1956年]][[1月20日]],中央召开知识分子问题会议。中国文字改革委员会主任吴玉章在会上作了关于文字改革的发言。然后毛泽东主席发表讲话,他指出:“我很赞成在将来采用拉丁字母。……因为这种字母很少,只有二十几个,向一面写,简单明了。……拉丁字母出在罗马那个地方,为世界大多数国家所采用,我们用一下,是否就大有卖国嫌疑呢?我看不见得。凡是外国的好东西,对我们有用的东西,我们就是要学,就是要统统拿过来,并且加以消化,变成自己的东西”。在会议总结发言时周恩来总理说:“中央政治局决定:‘首先简化汉字,推行书报横排,拼音方案采用拉丁字母,公布后用在小学课本上,代替注音字母’。” [[1956年]][[1月27日]],中共中央《关于文字改革工作问题的指示》,批转了1955年[[11月23日]]中国文字改革委员会党组和教育部党组《关于全国文字改革会议的情况和目前文字改革工作的请示报告》。《指示》所批准的文字改革方针是:“汉字必须改革,汉字改革要走世界文字共同的拼音方向,而在实现拼音化以前,必须简化汉字,以利目前的应用,同时积极进行拼音化的各项工作。” 1956年[[1月28日]],国务院全体会议第23次会议通过了《关于公布〈汉字简化方案〉的决议》,并决定成立中央推广普通话工作委员会。 1956年[[1月31日]],[[中国科学院]]语言研究所成立了普通话审音委员会,开始审订普通话异读词的读音。 1956年[[2月6日]],国务院发布《关于推广普通话的指示》。 [[1956年]][[2月12日]],《[[人民日报]]》发表了中国文字改革委员会拟定的《汉语拼音方案(草案)》,即《汉语拼音方案》的第一个草案(后来人们把这个草案称为“原草案”);同时还发表了《关于拟订汉语拼音方案(草案)的几点说明》,向全国人民征求意见。 [[1956年]][[3月5日]],[[中国人民政治协商会议]]全国委员会常务委员会第十八次会议(扩大)讨论《汉语拼音方案(草案)》。当天,中国人民政治协商会议发出《关于组织讨论〈汉语拼音方案(草案)〉的通知》。 1956年[[3月20日]],教育部和高等教育部发出《关于汉语方言普查的联合指示》,各省、市开始进行方言普查。 [[1956年]]3月,吴玉章在政协全国委员会常务委员会第十八次会议上作了《关于汉语拼音方案草案》的报告。吴玉章的这个报告,阐述了1955年以后中国文字改革委员会拼音方案委员会研制的汉语拼音方案的性质和作用。 文改会拼音方案委员会于1956年4月到1957年10月召开了10次会议,对《汉语拼音方案(草案)》进行修订。 [[1956年]][[9月26日]],中国文字改革委员会主任吴玉章在中国共产党第八次全国代表大会上作《关于中国文字改革问题》的发言。发言指出,汉语拼音方案,采用罗马字母,这是确定了的。因为拉丁字母是现代大多数的民族语言中所公用的字母,并且是为我国知识界所已经熟悉的一种字母。……拼音方案,在目前主要的用途,是为了给汉字注音和用作教学普通话的工具。 [[1956年]][[10月10日]],国务院批准成立了汉语拼音方案审订委员会,任命[[郭沫若]]为主任,[[张奚若]]、[[胡乔木]]为副主任,委员有16人。审订委员会成立以后,召开五次会议,多次商讨,并邀请在京的语言、教育、文艺、新闻、出版、科技、翻译各界以及部队和人民团体的代表178人举行座谈,同时向京外39个城市的100位语文工作者书面征求意见。 [[1957年]]10月,汉语拼音方案审订委员会提出《汉语拼音方案修正草案》,[[10月25日]],政协全国常委会扩大会议同意《汉语拼音方案草案》(即修正草案)。 [[1957年]][[11月1日]],国务院全国会议第六十次会议通过《关于公布〈汉语拼音方案草案〉的决议》。{{quote|汉语拼音方案草案,经中国文字改革委员会提出后,两年来,由中国人民政治协商会议全国委员会和各地方协商委员会组织了广泛的讨论,并且由国务院组织汉语拼音方案审订委员会加以审核修订,最后又由中国人民政治协商会议全国委员会常务委员会召开扩大会议加以审议,现在由国务院全体会议通过,准备提请全国人民代表大会下次会议讨论和批准,并且决定登报公布,让全国人民事先知道。 应用汉语拼音方案为汉字注音来帮助识字和统一读音,对于改进学校语文教学,推广普通话,扫除文盲,都将起推进作用。对于少数民族制定文字和学习汉语方面,也有重大意义。因此,这个方案草案在提请全国人民代表大会讨论和批准之后,可以在师范、中小学校,成人补习学校,扫盲教育和出版等方面逐步推行,并在实践过程中继续求得完善化。具体办法,将由教育部、文化部及其他有关单位会同中国文字改革委员会分别拟定,报告国务院批准施行。}} [[1957年]][[11月29日]],中国文字改革委员会《关于讨论壮文方案和少数民族文字方案中设计字母的几项原则的报告》上报国务院。报告中说:这个壮文方案(草案)在字母的用法上跟汉语拼音方案基本上一致,而且能表达壮语的语音特点,在试用推行过程中受到壮族群众的普遍欢迎。同日,国务院全体会议第六十三次会议讨论通过中国文字改革委员会《关于讨论壮文方案和少数民族文字方案中设计字母的几项原则的报告》,并作了批复:……同意关于少数民族文字中设计字母的五项原则,今后少数民族设计文字方案的时候,都应该按照这些原则办理。 [[1957年]][[12月6日]],国务院全体会议第六十四次会议批准中国文字改革委员会《汉语拼音方案草案宣传工作计划要点》,拟定从1957年[[12月11日]]至1958年[[1月11日]]为汉语拼音方案宣传月。 [[1957年]][[12月11日]],《人民日报》发表社论《当前文字改革的任务和汉语拼音方案》。 [[1958年]][[1月10日]],中国人民政治协商会议全国委员会举行报告会,周恩来总理作了《当前文字改革的任务》的重要报告。报告规定了我国当前文字改革的任务是:简化汉字,推广普通话,制定和推行《汉语拼音方案》。并指出:汉语拼音方案是用来为汉字注音和推广普通话的,它并不是用来代替汉字的拼音文字。胡乔木同志也作了《关于汉语拼音方案草案的几点说明》的报告。会后,政协全国委员会派出六个宣传组,分别到华东、西北、中南、西南、东北、京津的15个大城市宣传《汉语拼音方案》。1958年1月10日,政协全国委员会举行报告会,周恩来总理在会上作了《当前文字改革的任务》的重要报告,他在报告中对文字改革的三大任务“简化汉字,推广普通话,制定和推行汉语拼音方案”做了明确透彻阐述。 1958年[[1月27日]],第一届全国人民代表大会第五次会议开始讨论《汉语拼音方案草案》。[[2月3日]],吴玉章在第一届第五次会议上作《关于当前文字改革工作和汉语拼音方案的报告》。经过讨论后,[[2月11日]],第一届全国人民代表大会第五次会议正式批准《汉语拼音方案》,并通过了《全国人民代表大会关于汉语拼音方案的决议》。{{quote|决定:一、批准汉语拼音方案。二、原则同意吴玉章主任关于当前文字改革和汉语拼音方案的报告,认为应该继续简化汉字,积极推广普通话;汉语拼音方案作为帮助学习汉字和推广普通话的工具,应该首先在师范、中、小学校进行教学,积累教学经验,同时在出版等方面逐步推行,并且在实践过程中继续求得方案的进一步完善。}} [[1959年]][[12月27日]],[[山西省]]教育厅在[[万荣县]]召开了全省推行注音扫盲现场会议。 [[1960年]][[4月22日]],中共中央发出《关于推广注音识字的指示》。 [[1960年]][[5月11日]],《人民日报》发表社论,总结了注音识字的优越性。 [[1962年]]中华人民共和国国家测绘总局,中国人民解放军总参谋部测绘局制定了《少数民族语地名调查和翻译通则(草案)》,对地名翻译中若干问题作了具体规定。 [[1965年]],中华人民共和国国家测绘总局和[[中国文字改革委员会]]于联合颁发了《少数民族语地名的汉语拼音字母音译转写法(草案)》。 [[1977年]]9月,[[联合国]]第三届[[地名标准化会议]]根据“名从主人”的原则,通过了《联合国第三届地名标准化会议关于推荐用〈汉语拼音方案〉拼写中国地名作为中国地理名称罗马字母拼法的国际标准的决议》 :大会, :认识到(三字二词下加圆点“·”):《汉语拼音方案》是中国法定的罗马字母拼音方案;中国已制定了“中国地名汉语拼音拼写法”; :注意到(三字二词下加圆点“·”):《汉语拼音方案》从语言学的观点来看是健全的,也极宜作为中国地理名称罗马字母拼写依据;《中华人民共和国地图(汉语拼音版)》、《汉语拼音中国地名手册(英汉对照)》以及其他资料已经在中国出版;《汉语拼音方案》已经有了广泛的应用; :考虑到(三字二词下加圆点“·”):经过一个适当的过渡时期后,在国际上采用汉语拼音作为中国地理名称的罗马字母拼写依据是完全可能的; :因此推荐(四字二词下加圆点“·”):采用汉语拼音作为国际上用罗马字母拼写中国地理名称的(惟一)系统。 [[1978年]][[8月26日]],教育部发出《关于加强学校普通话和汉语拼音教学的通知》,重申必须继续贯彻“大力提倡,重点推行,逐步普及”的推普方针。 [[1978年]][[9月26日]],[[国务院]]批转[[中国文字改革委员会]]、国家测绘总局等单位《关于改用汉语拼音方案作为我国人名地名罗马字母拼写法的统一规范的报告》,从[[1979年]][[1月1日]]起,中国在对外文件、书刊中的人名、地名的罗马字母拼写,一律采用汉语拼音方案拼写。“……改用汉语拼音字母作为我国人名地名罗马字母拼法,是取代威妥玛式等各种旧拼法,消除我国人名地名在罗马字母拼写法方面长期存在混乱现象的重要措施。” [[1979年]][[4月22日]]至28日,中国文字改革委员会和教育部在杭州市联合召开了全国推广普通话工作汇报会。 [[1979年]][[5月6日]]在[[上海市]]举行了高等院校文字改革教材编写协作会议的第二次会议。 [[1979年]][[6月15日]],联合国秘书处关于采用“汉语拼音”的通知:“……从1979年6月15日起,联合国秘书处采用“汉语拼音”的新拼法作为在各种拉丁字母文字中转写中华人民共和国人名和地名的标准。从这一天起,秘书处起草、翻译或发出的各种文件都用“汉语拼音”书写中国名称。” [[1979年]][[8月11日]]至20日,教育部、中国文字改革委员会、共青团中央在北京联合召开了第五次全国普通话教学成绩观摩会。 [[1979年]]9月,由[[曹余章]]、[[许宝华]]、颜逸明、杨春霖、张静等57人发起,[[胡愈之]]、[[吕叔湘]]、[[王力]]、[[叶籁士]]等14人赞助,提出了“成立高等院校文字改革研究会倡议书”。 [[1980年]][[3月25日]],国务院发出《关于充实和加强中国文字改革委员会的通知》。 充实和加强后的中国文字改革委员会于[[1980年]][[5月20日]]召开了第一次全体会议。 [[20世纪]][[1980年代|80年代]]初,[[中国地名委员会]]制定了《中国地名汉语拼音字母拼音规则(草案)》。 [[全国高等院校文字改革学会]]于[[1981年]][[7月13日]]至[[7月20日|20日]]在[[黑龙江省]][[哈尔滨市]]举行成立大会。 [[1982年]],[[国际标准化组织]]发出'''ISO 7098'''号文件(中文罗马字母拼写法)采用《汉语拼音方案》进行中文罗马字母拼写,[[1991年]]修订。 [[1984年]]12月,[[中国地名委员会]]、[[中国文字改革委员会]]和[[国家测绘局]]联合发布了《中国地名汉语拼音拼写规则(汉语部分)》。 中国文字改革委员会于1984年年底,召开了文字改革工作座谈会。经过充分讨论,会议认为:在新的形势下,文字改革诸项任务中推广普通话的工作应该提到首位。会议还明确指出:在今后一个相当长的历史时期内,汉字将在中国语文生活中继续发挥重要的作用,它将与汉语拼音相辅相成,共同为现代化建设服务。 [[1985年]][[10月21日]]至[[10月25日|25日]],[[国家教育委员会]]和中国文字改革委员会在北京联合召开小学“注音识字,提前读写”实验教学座谈会。 [[1985年]]初,国务院同意了中国文字改革委员会《关于文字改革工作座谈会情况的报告》。 [[1985年]][[12月16日]],国务院决定将[[中国文字改革委员会]]改名为[[国家语言文字工作委员会]](简称“国家语委”)。 [[1986年]][[1月23日]]国务院发布《地名管理条例》,“第八条:中国地名的罗马字母拼写,以国家公布的《汉语拼音方案》作为统一规范。拼写细则,由[[中国地名委员会]]制定。” [[2000年]][[10月31日]]第九届全国人民代表大会常务委员会第十八次会议通过[[中华人民共和国国家通用语言文字法]]([[2001年]][[1月1日]]起施行),又一次确立了汉语拼音方案的法律地位。第十八条规定“国家[[通用语言文字]]以《汉语拼音方案》作为拼写和注音工具。《汉语拼音方案》是中国人名、地名和中文文献罗马字母拼写法的统一规范,并用于汉字不便或不能使用的领域。初等教育应当进行汉语拼音教学。”其中给出了“《汉语拼音方案》”的定义和使用范围,并且要求[[初等教育]]的汉语拼音教学。 [[2008年]][[1月25日]]15时,[[中华人民共和国教育部]]举行2008年第1次例行新闻发布会介绍《汉语拼音方案》颁布50周年纪念活动有关内容及汉语拼音推行情况。 [[2008年]][[9月16日]],位於[[台灣]]的[[中華民國]][[行政院]]跨部会议通过提案,放弃此前使用[[通用拼音]]的政策,改採漢語拼音為譯音標準,並從[[2009年]][[1月1日]]起實施。<ref>{{cite press release |publisher=Taipei Times |date=[[2008年]][[9月18日]] |title=Hanyu Pinyin

汉语拼音采用[[拉丁字母]]和一些附加符号表示汉语的发音。对应汉语[[音系学]](现代[[音韵学]])的汉语[[音节]]结构划分,汉语拼音的形式构成也分为[[声母]]、[[韵母]]和[[声调]]三部分。 根据汉语拼音方案《字母表》的规定,汉语拼音使用26个现代基本拉丁字母,有大小写之分,字母顺序与[[英语]]字母表一致。其中字母'''V'''/'''v''',在方案中规定为“拼写外来语、少数民族语言和方言”之用。由于汉语拼音的实际职能仅限于拼写汉语普通话,如今这条规定已然无人问津。不过,字母V/v目前又作为一个键位成为《汉语拼音方案的通用键盘表示规范》为不能省略两点附加符号的字母'''ü'''规定的通用键盘替代表示。 有时可能需要注意,汉语拼音方案发布时使用的字体是[[:en:Century Gothic|世纪哥特体]],与常见的拉丁字母略有不同,主要差别是没有[[无衬线体|衬线]]以及字母A的小写'''ɑ'''和字母G的小写'''ɡ'''。这种习惯一直沿用下来,但是《汉语拼音方案》本身并没有规定用哪种字体。这两个字形多用于中国大陆正规的[[语言学]]专著以及语文教育和[[对外汉语教学]]方面的出版物,特别是中小学语文教材。做出如此设计,主要是担心初学拼音字母的学童在手写的时候也去机械模仿常见印刷体a和g的字形。但随着英语教育在中国大陆的普及,如何印刷都变得无伤大雅。而且方案同时规定:“字母的手写体依照拉丁字母的一般书写习惯。”可见,汉语拼音字母和其他常见的基本拉丁字母并不是两套字母表。 汉语拼音方案还使用了一些附加符号,主要是声调符号和字母'''ü'''上的两点符号。前者与字母的组合虽然数目有限,但具体和哪个字母形成组合其实都是临时的,因为一个声调符号就表示了整个音节的高低变化,或者说,表示了一种“超音段音位”;后者来源于[[德语]]的元音变音字母(Umlaut),与字母u的组合固定地表示一个元音({{IPA|[y]}})。还有一种极其少见的附加符号,用在e/z/c/s之上,形成'''ê'''/'''ẑ'''/'''ĉ'''/'''ŝ''',依次表示一个单元音韵母({{IPA|[ɛ]}})和三个卷舌塞擦音声母zh/ch/sh。

不过,汉语音节起始处绝非只有21种辅音。在实际语流中,[[半元音]]、喉塞音和某些[[鼻音]]都可能成为一个汉语音节的[[领音]]。音系学将这些辅音归纳为'''零声母'''[[音段]],而如“安”(an)“英”(ying)“文”(wen)“元”(yuan)等就是零声母音节。由于零声母辅音听感并不十分明显,加之汉语拼音属于[[音位]]拼音而非[[音素]]拼音,汉语拼音方案不承认其声母地位,认为零声母音节是以[[元音]]开头的、没有声母而只有韵母和声调的音节。 汉语拼音方案规定的21个声母符号,按照《声母表》原顺序排列如下: {|style="text-align:center;" |- | {|style="border-bottom:1px solid;" |width=50px| 字母 ||width=50px| '''b''' ||width=50px| '''p''' ||width=50px| '''m''' ||width=50px|

其中,只有1个元音或者1个元音带1个鼻辅音的情况,该元音称之为[[韵腹]],所带的鼻辅音称为[[韵尾]]。2个元音构成的韵母,则是开口度较大的为韵腹,韵腹前的元音称为[[韵头]]或者[[介音]],韵腹后的元音称为韵尾。3个元音或者2个元音带一个鼻辅音,则中间的元音是韵腹,第一个元音是韵头,韵腹后的元音或鼻辅音为韵尾。 还曾经有人根据韵头把韵母分为四类,称为[[四呼]],即[[開口呼]](a、o、ê、e)、[[齊齒呼]](i)、[[合口呼]](u)和[[撮口呼]](ü)。[[汉语拼音]]的韵母表就是按照这个来排列的。根据汉语拼音方案,iou、uei、uen前面加声母的时候,写成iu、ui、un。例如niu(牛),gui(归),lun(论)。 === 声调 === 汉语普通话中有四个声调,四个声调符号分别是: * '''第一声''',('''阴平''',或'''平调''',“¯”); * '''第二声''',('''阳平''',或'''升调''',“ˊ”); * '''第三声''',('''上声''',或'''上音''',“ˇ”); * '''第四声''',('''去声''',或'''去音''',“ˋ”); 阳平符号从左下写起(提),去声符号从左上写起。 '''轻声'''在汉语拼音中不标调。而某些辞书上是通过在音节前加点的方式来表示轻声。 每个[[汉字]]由韵母和声母配合构成一个音节构成。在韵母上部应该标出声调,为了方便也可省略。 汉语拼音中标声调位置的規則如下: # 如果有a,则标在a上。 # 如果没有a,但有o或e,则标在这两个字母上。这两个字母不会同时出现。 # 如果也没有o和e,则一定有i、u或ü。如果i和u同时出现,则标在第二个韵母上。这是特别针对ui和iu而言的(这两个音的实际读音应该是uei和iou)。如果i和u不同时出现,则标在出现的那个韵母上。 声调一律标原调,不标[[汉语变调|变调]]。但是在语音教学时可以根据需要按变调标写。 === 隔音符号 === a,o,e开头的音节连接在其它音节后面的时候,如果音节的界限发生混淆,用隔音符号(')隔开,例如pí'ǎo(皮袄),xī'ān(西安)。 == 作用 == 汉语拼音对普及识字以及初等教育起了很大的作用。同时它也为[[语源学]]汉语与其它[[语言]]的比较提供了一个非常重要的工具。同过去其它的汉语拉丁化的规则相比,它的规律比较简单,发音更规范于[[普通话]]的发音。它系统地体现了普通話发音的规则。 随着[[计算机]]的普及,汉语拼音也是一种非常常用的[[中文输入法]]。 由于汉语拼音是一种只书写读音的体系,无法取代汉字。用汉语拼音拼写汉字的文章很难懂,因此,它不是一种正式的书写方式,而是汉语的一种辅助工具。汉语拼音是汉语罗马化的统一规范,用于汉字不能或者不方便的领域。 == 汉语拼音化 == {{main|汉字改革}} 由于部分人认为汉字复杂,学习需時,并且不如英文输入计算机般直接,热衷汉语文字改革的爱好者为了发展出[[拉丁化]]的汉语拼音文字,正在汉语拼音方案的基础上研究分词连写和分化定型同音词等问题。[[中国语文现代化学会]]为在中国实现所谓“一语双文”而进行了一些研究。 自从[[1986年]]初废除[[二简字|第二批简化字]]以来,中国政府采用了以维持现状,追求语言文字使用的连续性和稳定性为主的[[语言文字政策]],放弃了“[[汉字拉丁化]]”的计划。 == 參見 == * [[廣東話拼音]] == 外部链接 == {{Incubator|code=cmn}} {{Wikisource|汉语拼音方案}} *

'''注音第二式'''屬於[[國語羅馬字]]拼寫方案,[[中華民國教育部]]出面邀集學者進行修訂,1986年正式公佈。 ==施行法令依據== <pre> 教育部公告           中華民國七十五年一月二十八日                 台(75)社字第○三八四八號 主旨:公告「注音第二式」,自公告之日起正式使用。 說明:一、本「注音第二式」係修訂民國二十九年所公布之

e等[[字母]]以拼注中文漢字之讀音,於焉開始。[[萬曆]]年間[[天主教]][[耶穌會]]傳教士[[利玛窦|利馬竇]]之著「[[泰西字母]]」,[[天啟]]年間傳教士[[金尼閣]]之著「[[西儒耳目資]]」,系統漸趨完整。[[清朝]]以後,[[英國]]使華外交官[[威妥瑪]]著「[[語言自邇集]]」,所制訂之[[威妥瑪拼法]],流傳尤廣。舉凡教會、外交界、郵政、海關、新制學堂及學習華語者,競相採用,今民間所採用之人名地名譯音,仍多為[[威妥瑪拼法]]。 民國建立後,[[中華民國教育部|教育部]]有鑒於國語文統一讀音之重要,乃於民國7年([[1918年]])11月公布國語[[注音]]ㄅ、ㄆ、ㄇ、ㄈ等,即今之[[注音第一式]]。嗣復鑒於東西洋交通日漸頻繁,羅馬字譯音之使用範圍日廣,乃於民國17年([[1928年]])9月由國民政府大學院院長[[蔡元培]]另公布國語統一會委員[[錢玄同]]、[[趙元任]]、[[林語堂]]、[[黎錦熙]]、[[劉復]]、[[汪怡]]、[[周辨明]]等所制訂之「[[國語羅馬字]]」,以資應用。民國29年([[1940年]]),教育部[[教育部國語推行委員會|國語推行委員會]]決議改「國語羅馬字」名稱為「譯音符號」。 ===研訂經過=== 「譯音符號」設計精密,但因其四聲拼法變化較為複雜,初學頗感不便,公布至今雖將近60年<sup><small>1</small></sup>,卻未能普遍使用。教育部為因應[[外籍人士]]及華僑子弟學習中國語文之實際需要,乃於民國73年([[1984年]])1月邀請[[中華民國內政部|內政部]]、[[中華民國國防部|國防部]]、[[中華民國外交部|外交部]]、[[中央研究院]]、國語推行委員會以及國內各[[語文中心]]與各大學之[[語音學]]教授多人,舉行座談會,交換意見。決定仍以民國政府原先公布之譯音符號為本,予以修訂;並推舉國內實際從事國語文教學及對語音學有研究之專家學者[[張希文]]、[[李壬癸]]、[[李鍌]]、[[王天昌]]、[[張孝裕]]、[[何景賢]]、[[李振清]]、[[吳國賢]]、[[陳進成]]、[[劉興漢]]、[[劉森]]、[[陸震來]]等十二人,於[[2月28日]]成立專案研究小組,進行比較分析研究,由教育部國語推行委員會常務委員李鍌教授為召集人,王天昌教授負責紀錄整理。 研究小組經多次集會討論,就原公布之譯音符號,分別與[[威妥玛拼法]]、[[耶魯拼法]]、[[林語堂拼法]],及國內外可能見到之其他拼法,逐一比較其優劣繁簡,決定下列三點:一、以民國政府原先制訂公布之譯音符號聲母韻母基本拼法為準,略作修訂;二、改用現今通行之四聲調號以表示四聲;三、修訂後之譯音符號,定名為「國語注音第二式」,以與國語注音第一式並行於世,俾應教學所需。 教育部依據研究小組擬訂之草案,先行於民國73年([[1984年]])[[5月10日]]公告試用一年。試用期間仍陸續蒐集各方意見,交由研究小組審議討論取決,再作修改。定稿後乃於民國75年([[1986年]])[[1月28日]]正式公告,並與ㄅㄆㄇㄈ等第一式列表對照;另附拼法說明12條供國內外各界人士採用。 ==實際使用== {{Sect-stub}} ==拼音符號== 「國語注音第二式」是中文譯音符號的一種,也就是把中文字翻譯成英文的書寫方式。它最大的優點是依國語發音直接譯寫,而非意譯,並且加注聲調,讓人一目了然。而通用拼音是政府為了與中國大陸做出區隔而制訂的;使用上其實很接近。不同的是在拼字時,所使用的拼法不同。注音第二式是以外國人的使用法來拼音的,但是通用拼音是採用中國人的用法來拼音。 類似於國語羅馬字(Gwoyeu Romatzyh), *空韻([[舌尖元音]]“[[File:U+312D.svg|16px]]”)在國語羅馬字下為y,注音第二式分成2種,翹舌音之後'''-r''',舌齒音之後'''-z''' *'''ㄦ'''韻在國語羅馬字下為“el”,注音第二式下為“er”。 ===聲母=== *'''脣 音''':ㄅ: b、ㄆ: p、ㄇ: m、ㄈ: f *'''舌尖音''':ㄉ: d、ㄊ: t、ㄋ: n、ㄌ: l

*[[舌面聲母]]與[[翹舌聲母]]雖同為j, ch, sh ,但舌面聲母僅可與[[細音韻母]](即[[齊齒呼]]、[[撮口呼]]相拼,j, ch, sh 之後必有「i」;而翹舌聲母不可與細音韻母相拼,故j, ch, sh 之後必無「i」音。因此不至於相混淆。 *空韻「-{帀}-」在[[翹舌音]]之後者,寫作「r」,在[[舌齒音]]之後者,寫作「z」。但若在聲母符號中已有r或z,可省略一個r或z。 *ㄦ之拼法用er;但在拼寫[[兒化韻]]時,僅需在各該兒化詞韻母符號後,加r尾表示之即可。 *「ㄨㄥ」與聲母相拼時為'''''-ung'''''。 *非開口呼韻母,無聲母相拼時, **''i''改''y'',單獨使用時做''yi''。 **''u''改''w'',單獨使用時做''wu''。 *單韻母「ㄝ」符號單獨使用時作「ê」,拼合時則作「e」。 *四聲調號:陰平為─,陽平為ˊ,上聲為ˇ,去聲為ˋ,加在韻母之主要元音上端。不加任何調號者,則為輕聲。例如: *採用詞類連書時,若遇前後二音節有相混可能者,以隔音短橫「-」加在其間,作為音節分界線。 *人名譯音,依照中華民族的姓名習慣,姓在前,名在後。凡名字不只一字者,前後二字音節應加音節線。 *專有名詞如人名、地名,第一個字母應採用大寫。日常使用上,人名、地名之拼音可不加四聲調號,以茲便捷。

'''現代標準漢語''',是通行于[[中国大陆]]和[[香港]]、[[澳門]]、[[台灣]]、[[海外華人]]的共通語文,为現代[[漢語]]共通的交际[[口語]]與[[書面語]],並作為[[聯合國]][[官方語言]]之一,是國際人士學習漢語言的主要參照。 '''現代標準漢語'''基於現代[[北方漢語]]的語法和[[北京話]]語音,並作為官方、教學、媒體等標準語,是[[中華人民共和國]]和[[中華民國]]的[[官方语言]],是[[新加坡共和国]]四種[[官方語言]]之一,是[[東南亞]]及其他海外[[華人]]群体广泛採用的共同交际语言。其称呼与定义因地而异,在[[中国大陆]]称为“'''普通話'''”,[[台湾]]稱为“'''[[中華民國國語文|國語]]'''”,[[东南亚]]稱为“'''[[新馬華語|華語]]'''”,但現代標準漢語并不等同于[[北京话]]。 因地域的不同,'''普通話'''、'''國語'''与'''华语'''在語音與詞彙上存在细微差別,尽管可理解为受到地方方言的影响,然而在正式的書寫語法上相對統一。而在世界各地都出現了很多現代標準漢語的變體,如國語在台灣演變成[[台灣國語]](融合[[台灣話|台灣腔]]的中國北方話);新馬地區則有[[新馬華語]](受閩粵及馬來語影響的北方話);而中國大陸則有更多變體,如[[四川普通話]]、[[南寧普通話]]、[[港式普通話]]等等。對比起北京話、台灣國語、新馬華語,尚可互通。四川普通話、南寧普通話、廣式普通話之間是直接用本地方言硬套北方話語音,所以一般只在當地使用,幾乎難以在外地互相溝通。 == 名稱 == 事實上,很多講方言的人對國語、普通話、華語的定義都不是很清晰一致。許多人經常將國語、普通話,甚至北京話視為同義詞交互使用。另外,又會認為華語等於中文或某種漢語。以下是官方定義: === 國語 === 在[[台湾]],現代標準漢語的正式称谓是'''[[中華民國國語文|國語]]''',國民黨戒嚴時期,台灣各族溝通也由日語變化成國語(與日治時期推行日本語言的政策,限制對原本語言的使用,推動所謂「國語家庭」(國語の家)如出一轍),教育部門則多稱'''中華民國國語文'''。由[[中華民國教育部|教育部]][[教育部國語推行委員會|國語推行委員會]]規範與推廣。[[國立編譯館]]主編、[[正中書局]]出版的[http://www.ccbc.com.tw/book_detail.php?search_col=book&kw=%E5%9C%8B%E8%AA%9E&page2=1&page=1&one_page=9&book_sn=1075&series_code=D&type_code=DA&news_sn=&act= 部編大專用書《國語》]內所解釋,國語分廣義和狹義來說,茲改述如後:「對外國語來說,則國內各民族的一切語言和文字,可統稱為廣義的國語;在本國,對方言來說,則指國家選定以北京地方的現代音系為標準音的標準國語,為狹義的國語,對內用以通行各地,對外作為國家語言的代表。」<ref>{{cite book |title=部編大專用書《國語》 |editor=國立編譯館 |publisher=正中書局

|isbn=9570903406}}</ref>而台灣地區使用的國語有較為規範的[[國語]]與帶有台灣話腔的[[台灣國語]]。由於中華人民共和國政府治理中國大陸地區,香港、澳門在[[國語運動]]之時亦分別被英國、葡萄牙所統治(後主權移交中華人民共和國),中国大陆人民目前所講的现代标准汉语的和國語並不完全一致。中國大陸在中華民國時期也稱之為國語。 === 普通話 === 在中國大陸,1955年之後現代標準漢語的正式稱謂是'''[[普通話]]''',意为“普遍共通、普遍通用”之全國共通語言。<ref name="clgovcn-5">{{cite web|language=zh-cn |title=话说推普 话题五 国语、普通话、华语 |author=袁钟瑞

</ref>由[[中华人民共和国政府]]在全國(不包含[[香港]]、[[澳門]])推廣。而香港及大陸民間有時也將「國語」一詞作為大陸普通話的別稱。在香港、澳門兩個特別行政區,根據[[香港基本法]]和[[澳門基本法]],中央政府无法在当地強制推廣[[普通話]],但兩地政府以及民間機構均在回歸後通過不同方式推行普通話<ref>{{cite web |title=香港概況

}}</ref>。雖然中華人民共和國宣稱對台灣的主權,其人民代表大會亦有台灣的席位,但是由於[[台灣地區]](包含[[台澎金馬]]等)事實上由[[中華民國]]所控制,故而未於台灣地區[[推廣普通話]]。事實上,[[中華民國]]在台灣已經推行[[國語運動]],其本質及實效與推廣普通話無異。兩岸隔絕的期間衹有[[福建]]沿海與[[金門]]兩地的普通話及厦门话口音因台灣的電視台節目播送而相對接近。 === 華語 === 在[[新加坡]]、[[馬來西亞]],現代標準漢語的正式称谓是'''[[新馬華語|華語]]''',以現代漢語和北京官話為基礎。新馬華人普遍使用的汉語,明显受到福建及粤语的影响,并混合了相當多的英語及马来语語音,因此較[[中國大陸]]、[[台灣]]有較多外来語,與[[香港语文]]([[港式粤语]])相似。這種稱謂容易引起歧義,一般華人的概念認為漢語標準語和所有漢語方言都屬於華語。惟於國際場合,華語之稱較普通話、國語顯得中立。 ==發展歷史== {{main|标准汉语发展史}} 不同于历史上一直以[[伊斯兰教]]经典《[[古兰经]]》为标准的[[阿拉伯语]],同[[英语]]等世界上其它语言一样,标准[[汉语]]也一直在发展演变。 ===古代标准汉语=== {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; font-size: 80%; " |- | rowspan=3

现代汉语标准语继承于始於[[北宋]]、定命於[[元朝|元]][[明朝|明]]的“[[官话 (中国历史)|官话]]”体系。 [[1909年]],[[清朝|清]]政府設立了“[[國語編審委員會]]”,将当时通用的官话正式命名为“国语”。这是汉语首次得到官方命名。 [[1912年]],中華民國成立後,次年2月在北平召開了“[[中國讀音統一會]]”制定了史稱“[[老國音]]”的國音系统,確定了以“京音爲主,兼顧南北”的國音,具有[[入聲]]。同期並制定了[[注音符号|注音字母第一式]]。 1919年9月編輯出版了《[[中華民國國音字典]]》。 1920年,由於《國音字典》語音標準與北平語音標準産生的矛盾,爆發了“[[京國之爭]]”。同年,南京高等師範學校英文科主任[[張士一]]發表《[[國語統一問題]]》,認為注音字母連同國音都要做根本的改造,不認同國音,主張以北平音為國音標準。[[全國教育會聯合會]]和[[江蘇全省師範附屬小學聯合會]]相繼做出了定北平語音爲標準音的決議,最後由“[[增修國音字典委員會]]”將國音確立了“以北平讀法為標準音”,即“'''新国音'''”,並開始在全國學校推廣。 1919年4月21日,[[北洋政府]]成立“[[國語統一籌備會]]”。 1928年國民政府改為“國語統一籌備委員會”。 [[1932年]]5月,中華民國教育部正式公佈並出版《[[國音常用字彙]]》,爲確立國語的標準提供了範本,為現代漢語標準第一個系統——國語系統。 [[1932年]]之後的國語廣播,都採取了以《國音常用字彙》為標準的形式,各地的國語標準一致化。 1949年以后的国语系统、普通话系统、华语系统,均源于这个时期的国语系统。 ===现代标准汉语 1949年以后=== [[1949年]]之后,臺灣和中国大陆的汉语标准(分别为国语系统和普通话系统)沿不同的轨迹发展。此外,在东南亚等华人地区,有源于国语系统的华语系统。 中華民國於[[1945年]]至[[台灣省戒嚴令|戒严]]结束,一直以中华民国大陆时期的新国音作为國語標準。之后的语音,常带有台湾方言口音,而出现所谓的台湾国语。 中華人民共和國于[[1955年]]<ref>1955年[[中国科学院]]召开现代汉语规范问题学术会议,会上把汉民族的共同语成为普通话,主张全国推广。</ref>开始,用'''普通话'''来称呼汉语标准语。按中华人民共和国相关机构的解释,“普通”二字的涵義是“普遍”和“共通”,不称为“國語”是對少數民族語言的尊重。普通话仍以北京音为基础,与(老派)国语相比,在单字的发音上几乎相同,但在听感(涉及到语调等)、词汇上又有不同。自1950年代起,各时期普通话的特点亦有所变化,兩者已有一定的区别。 在[[东南亚]]华人社区裡,'''华语'''是汉语的意思,但实际上,华语往往特指汉语标准语,而不指东南亚华人最常见的母语(几种汉语南方方言)。东南亚华语的标准语大致继承了老派国语-普通话的体系,但是日常生活中人们的发音、词汇甚至语法往往带受母语方言和非汉语(主要是英语)的影响,与國語、普通話有一定的差别。 ==地位== {{主條目|國語運動|推廣普通話|講華語運動|中文熱}} '''現代標準漢語'''分别是[[中華民國]]及[[中華人民共和國]]的[[官方語言]],在[[新加坡共和国]]是四種[[官方語言]]之一,也是[[联合国]]六種[[官方語言]]之一。 [[海外華人]]的現代標準漢語發音帶口音的相當普遍,{{来源请求|在日常生活中被广泛使用}}。以往官話以外的[[漢語方言]]被[[中華人民共和國政府]]视为不上台面的俗話,視[[方言]]為现代化發展的阻碍。 === 中華民國 === 國民黨戒嚴時期,國語以外的其他方言,閩語、客語、阿美族語、排灣族語、泰雅族語、布農族語、魯凱族語、卑南族語、鄒族語、賽夏族語、達悟族語...等受到媒體廣播限制。書籍、廣播、電視皆以國語為主,並且逐年刪減方言節目。 [[國民政府]]時期曾在[[台灣]]强-{制}-推廣國語、限制母語的政策(即「'''[[國語運動]]'''」),但現已廢除。過去官方的限制母語政策,在各地小學實行的結果是把族群仇恨的種子植入許多小學生心中<ref>[http://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/news /kuan0416/3/1281895814/20051231154803/ 臺灣的霸權國語與悲情方言(管仁健/著)]</ref>、因此被視為國民黨政府的錯誤政策。爾後李登輝總統乃至於後來的民進黨政府的政策是推廣 [[母語]],[[台灣原住民語言|原住民語]],[[閩南語]]及[[客家語]]已經成為多數政治人物必須學習的語言。 雖然台灣自年民主化後推廣母語(本土化政策),但國語仍是主要官方用語、不同族群間的交際語甚至年輕族群的主要語言,其普及率遠高於普通話在中國大陸的普及率。由於大衆媒體的強勢作用,包括新聞台、親子台、新知、娛樂、綜藝、卡通等類型節目及電視廣告仍以國語為主,原、客、閩南三大鄉土語言的生存受到威脅。 原、客、閩南三大鄉土語言(教育部官方稱呼:台灣原住民語言,台灣客家語,台灣閩南語)中,連廣泛使用的台灣閩南語都有一定危機:多數台灣人聽得懂、也有一定數量的年輕人及兒童是以此為母語或雙母語—國語及台灣閩南語雙母語;但是許多台灣人(尤其是年輕人)的[[閩南話]]能力已經大幅下降。父母及祖父母這一代之間對話用[[閩南話]],但只要與子女等晚輩交談就大幅使用國語的現象也很普及,許多家庭在未來將成為純國語家庭。台灣客家語的傳承出現相當危機(許多客家年輕人聽不懂[[客家話]]);[[台灣原住民語言]]有滅絕危機。另外,台灣的識字率雖然接近100%,但精通原、客、閩南三大鄉土語言的比例僅有一、兩成。近年來[[本土化]]政策的推行,在小學增加了鄉土語言教學。而除了[[偶像劇]]以及有配音的外來戲劇(如[[韓劇]]、[[港劇]]等)仍以國語發音以外,晚上八點檔的[[電視劇|連續劇]]有不少是以閩南語發音的,而[[客家電視台]]亦推出了客語戲劇、節目,原住民電視台亦同,初期以年長者為對象,爾後則推廣至年輕族群。而台灣的新聞台雖然有母語新聞,但是曾被批評以母語播報時,以國語為文法;另外臺灣的族群分布地區漸趨模糊,各級學校大多使用國語授課,多數學校教師也無法有充分的時間以原、客、閩南等語言授課。由此可以知道母語的傳承有一定的危機。 === 中華人民共和國 === 嚴格來說,普通話并不是北京話(北方話)。在[[中國大陆]],“'''[[推广普通话]]'''”被作为重要的政策之一,甚至写入了[[憲法]](《中华人民共和国宪法》第十九条),[[方言]]的使用则受到了限制。近年来,这种限制有所放开,各个地方电视台方言类节目层出不穷,不少城市有方言类新闻节目和电视剧,但多以娱乐类为主,例如重庆台的《雾都夜话》、《生活麻辣烫》;上海台的情景喜剧《啼笑往事》;苏州台的苏州话新闻《山海经》;南通台的《总而言之》;[[广东电视台]]的《[[外来媳妇本地郎]]》;吉林台的《紅男綠女》;湖南经视的《一家老小向前冲》;江西台的《松柏巷里萬家人》等。教育部也推行“普通话成为校园语言”的运动,致使在某些省的某些学校出现了禁止学生讲方言的情况。有观点认为:在某些地区,一边倒的「推普政策」致使九十年代生的小孩子无法流畅地使用方言,方言和地方文化的传承出现了断层。强-{制}-推普遭到了网络舆论的批评。一部分人認為方言地區出现一定数量的以普通话作为第一语言的青年并不会使方言文化灭绝。 比较客观的观点则认为,「[[推廣普通話]]」有利于不同地区的中国人交流,也便于外国人与不同地区中国人交流。但方言承载着大量的口头文学遗产,例如[[苏州评弹]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cnquyi.com/news_detail.php?catalogid=10&&productid=1825&&version=cn |publisher=曲藝網 |title=苏州评弹 清风扑面 |date=2006-02-28|accessdate=2009-6-27}}</ref>、[[河南豫剧]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://big5.huaxia.com/ytsc/zywh/2008/06/998069.html |title=戲曲文化:中華文明的藝術奇葩 |publisher=華夏經緯網 |date=2008-06-13 |accessdate=2009-6-27}}</ref>等曲艺或戏曲都诞生于方言基础。消灭方言将导致这些丰富的非物质文化遗产的濒临灭绝。并且方言是乡情的纽带。人为割断这种纽带,可能会加速地方性传统文化的破坏。 在改革开放以前,习惯说普通话的人很少,人们在生活中往往使用当地方言进行交流。隨著推普蔓延至全國,以及近年来广播电视等媒体的作用,这种现象已经出现了很大的变化。截止2009年全国约有六成左右的人会说普通话,方言流行空间受到一定的挤压,发达地区的普通话普及程度较高,但日常生活中本地人间多以方言交流。<ref name="瞭望新闻周刊">{{cite journal | author

}}</ref>而普通话甚至變成[[異鄉人]]後代的主要語言。更有人指「[[普通話教學]]」即是「[[母語教學]]」,此番言論更激發方言保護者的網絡討論。关于“是否应该推普”、“推普同时是否要限制方言使用”、“推普是否必然造成方言萎缩”等命题,在中国大陆民间一直有争论。 在许多特定场所,如大型机构、地级以上政府部门、高等院校,規定普通话是唯一的正式语言,一般不在這些場所中使用除北京話外的其他方言。但是局部的村鎮由於本地人佔多數,官方仍以當地方言作一般交流。 各地的本地人在公共场合与外地人交流多使用普通话,当地人之间交流一般使用方言,然而对于90年代后出生的年轻一代人来说普通话的影响越来越大。在北方使用[[中原官话]]、[[晋语]]的部分地区的许多城市和南方个别城市,已经出现一些当地年年轻人不会说当地方言,只会说普通话的情况;在其它地区,城市年轻人的母语也受到了普通话的影响,方言表达能力相对上一代有不同程度的减弱,即使讲方言也会偶尔夹杂普通话。 在北京,人们很难听到纯正的普通话,基本上都是儿化音的“京腔”。 在中国大陆沿海经济发达的广州、上海等城市,普通话普及度高,但日常生活中本地人多以方言交流。<ref name="北京晨报">{{cite news | language =中文 | author =季明、杨梦 | coauthors = | url

普通话在乡村的普及度较城市低,但逐年提高。乡村方言保留着比较多的古汉语词汇,某些方言词汇无法用普通话准确表达,而普通话历来在村民心中属于场面上的“官话”,有时说普通话会被嘲笑是“拿腔拿调”。<ref name="瞭望新闻周刊"></ref> ===東南亞=== 在[[新加坡]],華語是四種官方語言之一,新加坡華籍人士多來自閩、粵,政府推行的華語並非來自家鄉的[[閩南語|福建話]]或[[粤语|广东话]],官方所指的華語是普通話,且電視上禁止使用方言。[[新加坡]][[李光耀]]政府則有鼓勵華人民眾使用華語溝通的「'''[[說華語運動]]'''」。 东南亚[[華人]]主要以閩南語、粤语、客家話、潮州話、海南話等南方汉语为母语。近年来,华語(普通話)在这些地区升温,逐渐成为社交和商业通用语之一。 而华语虽然在马来西亚并非官方语言,但大部分华人都会讲华语。这是因为该国华社热心兴办华校:国民型华小和独立中学都以华语为教学媒介语,而北马的国民型中学也规定华语为必修科。当地华人带有浓厚方言腔、低音价的华语口音称为'''联邦腔'''。 ===港澳=== 港澳地區以粵語為官方語言,政府、學校雖有鼓勵學習普通話,但沒有廣泛化的趨勢。但自回歸中國後,兩地的年青人對普通話的學習熱情在學校強制開設普通話科之下開始輕微提升。一些帶有[[左派]]背景的中學更使用普通話教學。普通話語言水平也較殖民地時期高,不過大部份人仍只能說出一些廣式普通話。 ==語音系統== 以下將以普通话为例,介绍汉语标准语的语音系统。 对汉语而言,单音节(单字)发音可分为声母、[[介音]]、韵母、韵尾、声调五个要素;[[超音节]](词句)发音还存在[[连续变调]]等要素。对[[普通话]]而言,介音、韵母、韵尾则被合成称为“韵母”。 ===单音节发音=== 普通话的声韵母系统基本沿袭了[[北京话]]系统,台灣國語比較少強調卷舌音,但台灣國語發音時,仍保留捲舌音(或稱為翹舌音),並非全然捨棄不發。普通话的声调亦大体继承北京话的系统,即阴平55,阳平35,上214,去51,以及轻声;台灣國語的上则为21。 ====声母==== 声母列表: {| !声母 |- !双唇音!!唇齿音!!舌尖前音!!舌尖中音!!舌尖后音!!舌面前音!!舌根音!!零声母/特殊声母

[[File:Pinyin_Tone_Chart.png|right|thumb|150px|普通话四声音值]] 在普通话裡,只有平声有[[阴阳分立]],没有入声,因此除轻声外共有四个声调: *阴平(标为“-”,声调值55) *阳平(标为“ˊ”,声调值35) *上声(“上”读作shǎng,标为“ˇ”,声调值214) *去声(标为“ˋ”,,声调值51) 此外还有轻声(标为“·”或不标),在超音节词句中使用。轻声是否该称为声调,学术界有一定的争议。 :{{Audio|zh-pinyin_tones_with_ma.ogg|(ma)单音的四个声调}} 国语等的音调与普通话相同,单字音调值则有些许区别(上声为21)。 [[中古汉语]]的入声,在普通话裡被划入各种声调裡。这点与绝大多数汉语方言不同。 ===超音节发音=== 現代標準漢語在读词句时,字的发音会有一定的变化,例如[[#变调|变调]]、 [[#轻声|轻声]]、 [[#儿化|儿化]]。 ====变调==== 現代標準漢語发音时,字和字连起来发生字调与单字音调不同的现象,叫做'''变调'''。变调一般出现在下列情况: ===== 上声的变调 ===== *#当两个上声字连读时,第一个字的声调值变为35,即等于阳平的调值。变调调值是214-35。 *#:例如“老鼠”,两字音调都是上声,但发音为阳平、半上声,和“牢鼠”的读法相近但不相同。 *#当三个上声字连续时,则比较复杂,要分析具体情况。 *#*当词语首二字是双音节,而第三字是单音节时,首二字都读阳平声。如“保管好”,发音是阳平、阳平、上声。 *#*当词语首字是单音节,而尾二字是双音节时,首字变成21,第二字读阳平声。如“总保管”发音是半上声、阳平、上声。 *#如果上声字后面接着非上声字,亦即阴平、阳平、去声和轻声前,且该上声字不处于句末、不处于被强调状态时,常读作半上声。 ===== “一”和“不”的变调 ===== *#在去声音节之前,“一”读阳平声,如“一定”。 *#在非去声音节之前,“一”读去声,如“一天”、“一年”、“一起”。 *#在词语之间,“一”读轻声。但表示序数时或其他情况下,“一”都读原本的阴平声。 *#“不”只有在去声音节前才变调为阳平声。在词语之间,“不”读轻声。 ====轻声==== 現代標準漢語发音时,某些字音失去了其原有的声调,而变得轻而短促的现象,叫做'''轻声'''。 ===== 中國大陸 ===== 根据中国大陆普通话标准,简单而言,轻声一般出现在下列情况: *现代汉语中的结构[[助词]](如“的、得”),动态助词(如“了、着),[[语气词]](如“吗、呢”)等虚词,一般读轻声。 *普通话中名词和代词的后缀,如“子、头、上、们”,读作轻声。 *现代汉语中某些双音词的末字读作轻声,分以下几种情况: *#有些词语必须读为轻声,如“多么”、“学生”、“喜欢”,其中也包括大多数叠音词(如“哥哥”、“星星”)和[[连绵词]](如“萝卜”、“模糊”)。 *#有些词语可以读为轻声也可以不读,但二者词义或词性不同,如“大意”、“地道”、“便当”。 *#有些词语可以读为轻声也可以不读,且二者词义并无区别,如“因为”、“起来”、“机器”。 ===== 台灣 ===== 根据[[中華民國教育部]]标准,轻声出现的情况要比中国大陆标准略少。在上述情形中,轻声可读可不读且意义无差异时,台湾国语标准一般不作轻声处理。 需要指出的是,中国大陆南方人、台湾人和東南亞華人在使用現代標準漢語时,受其方言影响,使用轻声的频率要比上述标准低得多,不少人甚至几乎不使用轻声。但由于在大多数情况下并不影响交流,因此也可将其视为廣義上的現代標準漢語。 ====儿化音==== 普通话发音时发音时,“儿”作为后缀不独立成音节,而是和前一音节合在一起,成为前一音节韵母的卷舌韵尾的现象,叫做'''儿化'''。 ===== 中国大陆 ===== *{{Fact|根据普通话标准,简单而言,儿化一般包括以下几种情况|time=2009-10-05T00:54:10+00:00}}: *#书面语可儿化可不儿化,但口语必须儿化,如“这儿”、“小孩儿”、“好玩儿”。 *#书面语一般不儿化,但口语一般儿化,且儿化与不儿化词义或词性不同,如“头儿”、“盖儿”、“宝贝儿”。 *#书面语一般不儿化,但口语一般儿化,且儿化与不儿化词义并无区别,如“上班儿”、“口味儿”、“菜单儿”。 :由于儿化音具有浓厚的北方口语色彩,在新闻播报和其他正式或严肃的语言环境中不宜多用。 :需要指出的是,与中国大陆北方人大多频繁使用儿化音不同,中国大陆南方人多数在使用普通话时,受其方言影响,使用儿化音的频率要比上述标准低得多,不少人甚至几乎不使用儿化音。但由于在大多数情况下并不影响交流,因此也可将其视为宽泛意义上的普通话。 ===== 台灣 ===== 根据[[中華民國教育部]]标准,儿化出现的情况要比中国大陆标准少得多,除“这儿”等少量词语外,台湾国语标准一般不作儿化音处理。 ==拼读系统与拼音化== {{RCL2}} 汉语标准有许多套[[音标|拼读]]系统。著名的有[[注音符号]]、[[威妥玛拼法]]、[[汉语拼音]]、[[注音二式]]、[[通用拼音]]等。除注音符号外,其余拼读系统均采用拉丁字母作为[[文字]]形式。目前汉语拼音在中华人民共和国是普通话的法定拼音。中华民国(台湾)的國語則普遍使用注音符号,政府法定的拼读系统仍具争议中,英譯則多用威妥玛拼法。西方出版的圖書以往使用威妥玛拼法,但是從[[1980年代]]以來,越來越多的出版物採用漢語拼音,到[[2000年]]以後,幾乎所有的學術書籍都已改為漢語拼音。 ===历史=== 自从[[西方]]人东来中国,并尝试学官话,自然需要创制用来记录汉字读音之拼音系统。多年来,曾经有不少拼音系统推出。[[19世纪]]时,最先出现的就是[[威妥玛拼音]],根据其发明者命名。 [[1906年]],标准[[邮政式拼音]]推出,同样是不太规则的系统,也多数用于地名。 以上两种系统现在仍被使用,但渐渐被[[汉语拼音]]取代,现在多数只是出现在旧课本或历史书等。 [[20世纪]]时,有些中国语言学专家提出数个[[转写]]系统,而其中一个更是全新拼音系统:[[注音符号]],到现在为止,最成功的转写系统是汉语拼音,亦即[[中华人民共和国]]政府在[[1958年]]推出的方案。[[联合国]]及其他国际组织现在也部分採用汉语拼音。台湾自2009年开始,中文译音也全面采用汉语拼音。 在20世纪初至[[1980年代]],一直有人不少人,也曾包括[[中國大陸]]官方,认为汉语应该走抛弃[[汉字]]的拉丁拼音化道路。由于汉语拉丁化运动采取的是汉语标准语的语音系统,因此汉语标准语的拼读系统得到了运动支持者的重视,其中以汉语拼音为甚。但拉丁化方案最后被放弃,基于汉语包含非常多[[同音词]]。而且,汉字也与古代文学和文化息息相关,令拉丁化运动推行甚为困难。 80年代之后,随着汉字的计算机输入问题得到彻底的解决,汉语拉丁化运动已逐渐平息。中华人民共和国官方亦不再采取这种论调,民间亦同时销声匿迹。 [[耶鲁拼音]]不太受欢迎,也比较过时,却更能代表官话的音位。<!-- The Yale system is notable because it is a more direct representation of the [[phoneme]]s of Mandarin than the other systems: It avoids the orthographic alternations between 'y' and 'i', 'w' and 'u', 'wei' and 'ui', 'o' and 'uo', etc. that are part of [[Pinyin]] and [[Wade-Giles]]. --> ==语法== {{main|汉语语法}} '''現代標準漢語'''是完全基於[[北方漢語]]的語法,句式使用「主謂賓」的結構,經常使用「的、地、得」,以及甚少語氣助詞。 現代標準漢語雖然摒棄了[[文言文]]的表達方式,在中國大陸的官方文件都完全遵從這種方式。但在其他許多華人社會的現代文章中,經常會用到曾經歷幾個[[朝代]]全國各省通用[[文言文]]中的通用字、詞或[[成語]]以令句子更為簡潔文雅,如之(的)、其(他)、甚(很)等等。 ==地方差異== '''[[北京話]]'''、'''大陸普通话'''、'''[[台灣國語]]'''、'''[[中華民國國語文|中華民國國語]]'''、'''[[新馬華語]]'''等在语音、词汇等方面有少許差異。要注意的是[[北京话]]并不属于一种标准语,因为它是未经整理和标准化的北京城区方言。以上的几种标准语都是以北京话这种方言为基础来进行标准化的产物。 ===标准口音=== 国语、普通话、华语三大系统内部还存在“标准口音”(无口音)和“非标准口音”(带口音)的区别。从这个角度上说,汉语标准语构成了汉语的一種大类“方言”。即使是標準,三地也有區別,如「消息」一詞。大陸「息」讀輕聲,台灣讀「洗」,新馬讀「西」。 国语的情况与之相似:老派国语、新派國語都是被视为标准的;华语的情况则有些不同。學習普通話及口音的有无與出身地域與教育程度有相當關係。 标准口音和非标准口音之间并没有严格的界限。以普通话为例: #最严格定义的“标准口音”是[[中央电视台]][[新闻联播]]的发音。如果按照这个标准,中国大陆绝大多数汉语使用者,包括许多播音员,其普通话都是带有口音的。但事实上,许多人普通话的发音方式和口音用词上偶尔违反了“中国国家语言文字标准”。 #明显受方言或其它语言影响的普通话,一般都会视为带有口音。例如,[[声调]]系统与普通话声调系统差异过大,或有过多的字发音不準。但台灣地區的取音不同與中國大陸,如'''垃圾''',臺灣國語讀「勒色」,普通話讀「拉機」。 #受方言或其它语言一定程度影响,但完全不影响交流的普通话,是否被视为带有口音,则因人而异。例如,一定程度“京味”、“东北味”普通话。 === 詞彙差別 === {{main|眷村黑話|簡體中文#地方用語|繁體中文#地方用語}} [[臺海兩岸]]在某些習慣用語上,經過長時間的隔絕,也有某些程度的差異。這些差異中,有些是因為臺灣調國語保留了[[1949年]]以前在[[大陸]]所 使用的一些語彙,而這些語彙在中國大陸則由於種種因素而不再使用,或者是比較少使用。比如說,「[[村|里]]長」(相等于中华人民共和国的“村长”,在中华民国,-{里}-和村為相同等級的行政區域,而中國大陸沒有這種行政區域。以下括号内均为中国大陆替代用词)、「郵差」(邮递员)、「車夫」([[香港|港]][[澳門|澳]][[台灣|台]]只會對非機動的陸上運載工具的駕駛員才稱車夫,已成為舊時代語彙,現在使用或含貶義)、「傭人」、「次長」(中華民國文官體制,當中政務次長約略同於中華人民共和國副部長)、「級任教師」(班主任)、「學藝股長」(学习委员)等,這些詞語都是1949年以前的常用詞,也繼續在臺灣調的國語中使用。但是,中國大陸則是使用反映新社會關係的一些詞語來替代它們。 「先生」、「小姐」、「太太」、「老闆」、「男士」、「女士」等1949年以前的常用稱謂詞語,中國大陸在[[1979年]]改革開放以前,一般也不常使用<ref>關於臺灣海峽兩岸在某些用詞上的差異,可以參考一個外國人在兩岸各居住過一段時間以後所寫的一篇有趣散文,見看中國報導(2003)。</ref><ref>看中國報導,2003年,老外侃中國:臺灣與大陸的異同 [online]。np:看中國。11月5日 [引用於2005年1月13日]。全球資訊網網址:[http://www.kanzhongguo.com/news/pub/view.php?aid=54543]。</ref>。 台灣國語與普通話的詞匯相比,台灣國語的詞匯除了融入部分日語、閩南或客家詞語外,還有一個特點是保留較多的古語詞。台灣國語詞匯另一個特點是,保留一些[[1949年]]前使用的詞語繼續指稱某一群體的人。由於,國民政府遷臺後,在各地成立許多[[眷村]],各省或幫派間詞彙亦有少部份成為臺灣國語的詞源,例如[[條子]](警察)、[[馬子]](女性,女友)。台灣亦出現很多國字頭的詞語,如[[國文]]、[[國小]]、[[國中]]、[[國字]]、[[國立]]等,其「國」字可能代表:國民、民國、國家、中華民國。 同樣地,[[中國大陸]]的名稱多有「人民」字樣,如[[人民路]]、[[人民警察]]、[[人民醫院]]、[[人民公社]](已廢除)、[[人民公園]]等。 == 推廣 == *中華人民共和國:[[推廣普通話]] *中華民國:[[國語運動]] *新加坡:[[講華語運動]] *香港:[[兩文三語]] *其他:[[中文熱]] ==相關條目== *[[汉语]] *[[漢語拼音對照表]] *[[中国语言]]

[[中国历史]]上的官方语言一直是[[汉语]],[[白话文运动]]以前,中国使用[[文言文]]作为书写体系,而[[白话文运动]]以后,则推行[[白话文]]书写。 根据《中华人民共和国国家通用语言文字法》的规定——“本法所称的国家通用语言文字是普通话和规范汉字。”,表明目前[[中国大陆]]的国家通用语言文字是[[普通话]]和[[规范汉字]]。根据《中华人民共和国行政诉讼法》的规定——“在少数民族聚居或者多民族共同居住的地区,人民法院应当用当地民族通用的语言、文字进行审理和发布法律文书。”,表明目前[[中国大陆]]的官方语言文字包括普通话、规范汉字和少数民族语言文字。[[香港]]的法定語文是[[中文]](實際是[[繁體中文]])和[[英文]],相應的口語是[[廣州話|廣東話]]、[[英语]]、[[普通話]];[[澳门]]的官方语言除[[普通话]]外,还有[[粤语]]和[[葡萄牙语]]。[[台湾]]的實際官方語言是[[國語]]([[現代標準漢語]]),官方文字是[[正體字]]([[繁體字]])相應的口語是台語(閩南語)客語(客家話)及台灣原住民語言。馬來西亞、新加坡等地所使用的文字是[[簡體中文]]、其他地方如加拿大、美國、英國、澳大利亞等地區的華人社區繁簡並用。而國際漢語教學絕大多數使用[[簡化字]]。此外,中国各地还使用不同的[[汉语方言]]进行交流。 ==中国各民族语言文字== [[File:China ethnolinguistic 1967.jpg|thumb|350px|中国语言分布图]] 由于长期受到汉语的影响,[[中华民族|中国的少数民族]]现在大部分都能使用汉语进行交流。除个别民族以外,绝大多数民族都有自己的[[语言]]。而且由于长期的交流合作,对于语言的影响很大。有的民族同其他民族一起使用同一种语言。 中国各民族语言从[[语言系属分类]]上来说,分别属于[[汉藏语系]]、[[阿尔泰语系]]、[[印欧语系]]、[[南亚语系]]以及[[南岛语系]](关于南岛语系存在争议)。另外[[朝鲜语]]的归属存在争议。 有十个民族从来没有自己的文字,在[[中国]]政府的支持和帮助下,他们发明了新的语音[[字母]]。 ==列表== {{Main|中国语言列表}} {{Mergeto|中国语言列表}}

'''邏輯語'''(lojban,又譯作'''理語'''),原名'''Loglan''',是[[人工語言]]的一種。所有字均以[[鍵盤]]上可打出的26字組成:'''' , . a b c d e f g i j k l m n o p r s t u v x y z'''。[[1955年]]由[[詹姆士·庫克·布朗]]設計,[[1960年]]在《[[科學美國人]]》雜誌發表。 它的最初目標是證明[[薩丕爾-沃夫假說]]。它依照[[形式語言]]尤其是[[谓词逻辑]]構造,而非建基於現有的自然語言。其特点是:言文一致、形意一致、文化中立。 == 特点 == 逻辑语的突出特点之一是无歧义性,无歧义包括言文一致和形意一致两个方面。此外,还有一个重要的特点是文化中立。 === 言文一致 === 言文一致,是指: * 一种发音形式,只能对应唯一一种书写形式。这意味着,只要说话人遵守了发音标准,记录人学会了发音的规则,就可以准确地进行听写,哪怕记录人对于词语含义和语法结构一窍不通。 * 一种书写形式,可以对应于相似但有相同含义的一些发音形式。这意味着,尽管每个人允许有自己的口音,但是在允许的范围内,说出来的文字应该可以容易地被辨认出(根据发音标准)是含义相同的。 自然语言如中文,一般不能达到这两个条件。例如:“新文学”和“新闻学”是同一个发音形式对应于不同的书写形式(和意义)的例子。而“[[老子]]”和“老子”(普通話俗语,代表“父親”)是同一种书写形式对应于并不相似的发音形式的例子。 即使是其他人造语如[[世界语]],仍然有言文不一致的问题,尽管它们通常也设计成尽量避免言文不一致,但是也有许多情况下需要使用停顿、重读等语音形式来区分句子的不同含义(不同侧重点),这样就使得同样的书写形式对应于含义不同的发音形式。 通过严格的构词法和明确叙述的发音规则,逻辑语大體上达到了上述目标。并且,它的发音规则还有如下特点: * 上下文无关:一个书写符号对应于唯一的一类发音形式,无论其在文本中处于什么位置。 * 严格的等价:对应于书写符号的一类发音形式,无论采用哪一个都是合法的,都被辨认成同一个书写符号。 * 发音标点系统:使用明确的发音和对应的书写形式来表示其他语言中的标点符号,例如句号、直接引语等。 * 语法功能提示:逻辑语的构词法对单词的语法功能提供了很多提示,不管从发音形式还是书写形式上都能快速判断一个词的功能。配合独有的发音标点系统后,即使一句话只听到一半,也能快速跟上下一句或者下一个有效语法成分,且能对未听全的内容作出相当有效的猜测。 由於邏輯語的書寫規則比較鬆散,詞間空白很多情況下可以省略,因此嚴格來説一種發音形式對應一種書寫形式的要求並未達到。然而,不同的留空方式在語法層面的結構和語義層面的意義完全一致。 === 形意一致 === 形意一致并不是说不存在含义模糊或者笼统的情形。含义模糊,指的是概念本身的模糊,即概念的[[外延]]没有明确的边界。例如,“大”、“高”等概念在没有明确标准的情况下就是模糊的。逻辑语用来表达这些概念的词语可以是模糊的,就像自然语言一样,也可以是精确的,一般是通过给出标准来精确化。 而含义笼统,则是因为有明确外延的概念的涵盖范围太广而出现的。例如,“我坐车”这个表达本身很明确,但可能坐的是摩托车、汽车、甚至自行车。当实际语境需要更明确地表述时,就出现了含义笼统。逻辑语同样存在这样的问题,避免不适当的笼统和模糊并不是语言的任务,而是语言使用者的义务。同时,适当的笼统和模糊往往是文学艺术的必要成分,完全没有笼统和模糊的语言将是没有生命力的。 但是,自然语言常常会有真正的歧义。这种歧义包括四个层次: * 同样的词语(一般指书写形式,但有时候甚至发音形式也相同)有两种以上无关的意义。例如“架子”可以是一种实物,也可以是指为人处事的一种态度。这称为词义层次。 * 即使每个词语都能正确解读,但是句子可能存在两种以上不同的结构,从而使得整个句子具有截然不同的含义。例如“你被我打”與“你我被打”。这称为语法层次。 * 词语的意义和句子结构都能唯一解读时,仍可能有不同的意义,这可能是语义层次的指称不明等原因造成的。例如“他很高”可以形容他人身高,但亦有可能是形容其技術高明。这称为语义层次。 * 即使句子的结构和意义都完全确定,但是在不同的场合下同样的句子可能有不同的用途。例如在面试中询问应试者名字是正常做法,但在街上随便拉一个陌生人问同样的问题就很唐突了。这称为语用层次。 逻辑语通过严格的语法避免出现第二种歧义。由于其文法可以使用计算机程序如[[YACC]]进行检查,因此它的无歧义性就如[[计算机程序设计语言]]一样有保证。对于前一种,则通过良好、无歧义的词语定义来避免。对于语义层次,逻辑语允许在必要的时候以任意的精确度对语义予以明确,但仍允许使用者说出不明确的句子。至于语用层次,任何语言层面的规则都无法防止,包括逻辑语。 === 文化中立 === 许多人造语,例如世界语等,一个被人诟病的问题就是它们的语法通常基于某种或者某些自然语言的特征而构建,从而偏离了文化中立(例如世界语就是基于欧洲语言)。另一种文化中立的问题来自于词汇,因为人造语的词汇一般来自于自然语言,因此难免在取材方面有所偏颇。 通过奠基于[[谓词逻辑]],逻辑语很大程度上消除了语法上的文化中立,因为谓词逻辑本身是人类知识的一部分,并不专属于某种文化。但是,逻辑语在语法上的特质更偏向于[[孤立语]],而与[[屈折语]]有所区别。对习惯于存在人称、数、性、格等屈折的用户,逻辑语也存在一些可选的外部屈折方式,即对词汇添加修饰项。 在词汇来源方面,为了尽量做到语言中立,逻辑语的基本词汇(gismu,根词)来自于六种不同的语言: * [[汉语]]:约占34% * [[印地语]]:约占20% * [[英语]]:约占16% * [[西班牙语]]:约占12% * [[俄语]]:约占9% * [[阿拉伯语]]:约占9% 此外,还有一些词汇是来自于其他文化的特定用语,另有部分来自于科学界通用术语。 == 發音 == 逻辑语的发音规则力求做到言文一致,即书写形式和发音形式一致。为此,订立了严格的发音规则。 === 字母表 === 逻辑语采用26个拉丁字母除了h/q/w之外的23个,外加3个符号和空白(段落空白和词间空白)组成其符号表。每个字母代表一个音素,发音要求并不严格,但要求可资区分。例如,[[n]]和[[ŋ]]本来是两个不同的辅音,但都可用作字母n的发音,只要能与其他辅音明确区分即可。 对于汉语使用者,要注意的是汉语拼音中的送气/不送气对比在逻辑语中应当发音为清/浊对比,就像在英文一样。这主要发生在b/p、t/d、g/k这几组辅音中。 === 音素表 === {|class="wikitable" !字母!![[国际音标]]!![[汉语拼音]]!![[注音符号]]!!汉语发音提示字!!汉语来源词对应的拼音 |- |a||a,{{unicode|ɑ}}||a||ㄚ||啊||a |-

上表中有a,e,i,o,u,y六个[[元音]]。此外,其余17个辅音可以分为三组:清音ptkfcsx和浊音bdgvjz,还有成音节辅音lrmn。 === 双元音 === 两个元音可以组合成双元音,见下表: {|class="wikitable" !逻辑语字母||汉语拼音||注音符号||例字||和其他辅音组成音节 |- |ai||ai||ㄞ||爱||可以 |- |au||ao||ㄠ||澳||可以

|uy||(无此音)||(无此音)||(无此音)||不可以 |} === 双辅音与多辅音组合 === 在组成音节的时候,辅音的组合常常会被逻辑语的规则所禁止。 对于双辅音,这包括以下情形: * 两个相同的辅音紧邻在一起是不允许的 * 如果两个辅音一个为清音,一个为浊音,则不允许组合 * '''c'''、'''j'''、'''s'''、'''z'''这四个辅音的任意两个都不能组合 * '''cx'''、'''kx'''、'''xc'''、'''xk'''、'''mz'''也被禁止。 如果两个相邻的辅音后面要跟着元音组成音节(称为“起始双辅音”),则受到更严格的限制。只有以下48种组合才被允许: {|class="wikitable" |bl||br||cf||ck||cl||cm||cn||cp||cr||ct||dj||dr |- |dz||fl||fr||gl||gr||jb||jd||jg||jm||jv||kl||kr |- |ml||mr||pl||pr||sf||sk||sl||sm||sn||sp||sr||st |- |tc||tr||ts||vl||vr||xl||xr||zb||zd||zg||zm||zv |} 三个辅音的组合规则是: * 头两个辅音必须满足普通双辅音的限制规则 * 后两个辅音必须在48个起始双辅音的列表内 * '''ndj'''、'''ndz'''、'''ntc'''、'''nts'''这四种组合被禁止 === 特殊字符 === 除了以上23个字母(记住“h、w、q”并不是逻辑语的字母!)以外,逻辑语还有三个特殊符号(空格不算)。这些符号都有特殊的发音规则,并且对其出现场合作了严格限制。但是要注意,这些符号虽然在其它语言用作标点符号,但逻辑语实际上没有标点符号,所有的标点符号都是通过特殊的单词来表达的,这样的“标点符号”必须在发音过程中读出来。 ==== 送气元音分隔符' ==== 双元音多数不允许组词,只有4个可以。如果一个词中间出现了多个元音(不包括y)连在一起的情况,必须使用'隔开,例如mo'i等。这种情况下,音节数算两个,发音时必须在保持气流不中断的情况下将两个音明确地分开。一般来说,这听起来就像是在中间有一个汉语拼音的“h”(注音“ㄏ”),不过为了和x分别,这个音必须非常轻。 ==== 词语分隔符. ==== 逻辑语的构词法非常严格,很容易辨别词的开始和结束。一般来说,逻辑语的单词都以辅音开头,以元音结束。对于例外的情况,为了让听者能够明确地分辨出单词,逻辑语规定凡是以元音开头的单词必须在开头加上“.”,以辅音结尾的单词则在后面加。发音的时候,要求必须停止送气,给出一个明确的停顿。 ==== 外来元音分隔符, ==== 虽然逻辑语只有4个双元音,但其他语言有更多的双元音。为了方便从其他语言借用词汇,这些双元音用“,”隔开。发音的时候,如果感到有困难,当成'总是允许的,这是因为它只出现在外来词中,就算写错,也不会对意义造成混淆。 ==== 留空 ==== 空格不算是邏輯語的符號之一,但它也算是書寫形式的一部分。倘若發音時遇到空格,可以停頓一下,也可以不停頓地發下一個音。在書寫的時候,除了brivla和專名前後必須留空之外,cmavo之間允許不留空連續書寫,算是邏輯語對同樣的語音聽寫所允許的唯一變化。 === 重读规则 === 逻辑语的重读规则为:所有brivla(实词)都在倒数第二个音节重读。这个规则允许方便地在语音流中定位到brivla的结束。虛詞cmavo的重读没有硬性规定。專有名詞cmene的重讀方式按照該專名的原始方式(例如,來自英語的就按照英語的方式重讀),書寫時將重讀的音節寫成大寫字母。這是邏輯語中唯一需要大寫字母的地方,其他情況一律使用小寫字母書寫。 === 其它规则 === 逻辑语的brivla要求在前五个字母('和半元音y不计)中存在成对的辅音。这可以用来确定brivla的开始,和brivla重读规则一起就能确定句子中所有实词的位置。 逻辑的基本cmave(虚词)全部都由0个或1个辅音带1个以上的元音组成。合成虚词则简单地将数个基本虚词拼在一起。其中,有一些虚词(如la)后面跟的是cmene(专有名词)。这被用来定位cmene的开始。 cmene的结束则依靠另一条规则:cmene必须以辅音结尾(根据关于词语分隔符的规则,书写专有名词的时候后面必须有“.”)。 == 文法 == {{main|邏輯語文法}} 邏輯語的文法源自[[謂詞邏輯]],其陳述(句子)就是謂詞邏輯中的合式公式。謂詞邏輯中的謂詞和詞項在邏輯語中分別稱爲selbri和sumti。正如謂詞邏輯一樣,每個謂詞selbri所帶的詞項sumti有一定的數量,並要按一定的順序排列,才可準確表達含義。此外,還有一些結構性的詞彙,類似于謂詞邏輯中的邏輯聯結詞、量詞等。 由於沒有一般語言中的主謂賓等概念,說邏輯語的句式是SVO或者SOV並沒有什麽意義。然而如果把selbri看成謂語動詞V,其第一個sumti看成主語S,隨後的sumti看成賓語O,則其句式一般為SVO,當然這僅對帶有兩個sumti的selbri才正確。此外,selbri如果出現在句首,被認爲是省略第一個sumti。如果句首有多個sumti,則按照順序排列,視爲合法句子。這樣,SOV也是合法的句子結構。

''Ai'', ''ii'', ''ea'', ''oa'' are falling diphthongs, where ''-i'' and ''-a'' are pronounced /ɨ̯/ and /ə̯/, respectively. In some pronunciations these diphthongs are unbroken long vowels (thus ''ā'' for ''ai''). Based on Naryan interpretations of foreign words, Naryan speakers are known to lack /l/ and tend to hear it as their /r/. Foreign consonant clusters are broken up with an epenthetic /o/ or /u/, and the same vowels may be used to keep a consonant from ending a syllable—or the consonant may be deleted. (But the sequence ''k'h'' and final ''n'' appear to be licit.) The only fricatives appear to be /s/ and possibly /f/; /v/ is heard as /b/, and /θ/ as /s/ or a dental stop. ''Wu'' is a licit syllable; it's uncertain if ''yi'' is likewise. 7463 52893 2010-03-31T10:57:01Z Tropylium 756 redir #REDIRECT [[Voiceless alveolar lateral affricate]] Voiceless lateral alveolar affricate 7464 52895 2010-03-31T10:57:40Z Tropylium 756 moved [[Voiceless lateral alveolar affricate]] to [[Voiceless alveolar lateral affricate]]:&#32;standards #REDIRECT [[Voiceless alveolar lateral affricate]] 7465 52896 2010-03-31T10:58:08Z Tropylium 756 redir #REDIRECT [[Voiceless postalveolar affricate]] Affricate 7466 58909 2011-01-16T19:51:43Z Tropylium 756 /* Phonology of affricates */ twwwk An '''affricate''' is a phonetic [[contour segment]] (e. [ts]), consisting of a [[plosive]] (eg. [t]) released as a [[homorganic]] [[fricative]] (eg. [s]). ==Table of affricates== Note that [[bilabial]], [[glottal]] and voiced posterior affricates (*[pɸ], *[ɡɣ] etc.) are unattested outside of particularly fancy conlangs. {| class="wikitable" |- !

Sometimes both interpretations are useful in a single language: [[English]] has monophonemic /dʒ/ (as in ''we'''dg'''e'') but biphonemic /dz/ (as in ''we'''ds''''' ← ''wed'' + ''-s''). If phonemicity needs to be emphasized (or distinguished - see below) in transcription, a tie bar (/t͡ʃ/; [[X-SAMPA]] /t_S/, [[CXS]] and [[Z-SAMPA]] also /tS)/), a [[ligature]] (/ʧ/) or a dedicated symbol (/č/) can be used. ===Affricates vs. stops=== Coronal affricates frequently result from [[assibilation]] of palatalized stops. They may continue to phonologically occupy the place of stops, eg. in utilizing contrasts such as [[aspiration]] not used on other consonants, or occupying the place of a palatalized stop in a [[palatalization-split]] consonant system. [[Free variation]] between a palatal stop and a palatal or palato-alveolar affricate is also possible ([[Hungarian]], [[Indo-Aryan]] languages). In opposition to this, a ''contrast'' between palatal stops and palatal affricates is vanishingly rare; likewise development of a stop from an affricate is uncommon, but is attested in cases of phoneme system contraction. ===Affricates vs. fricativs=== [[Deaffrication]] is a common unconditional sound change, seen in eg. [[French]], [[Portuguese]], [[Spanish]] and [[Swedish]]. It is somewhat more common for voiced affricates (eg. Proto-Slavic). The reverse change is rarer, but can occur in assimilation of a fricative to another stop (especially a [[nasal]] stop, eg. /ns/ → /nts/). ===Affricates vs. clusters=== A marginal contrast in some languages (eg. [[Polish]]) is one of an affricate (eg. /ʦ/) and a sequence of the corresponding individual segments (eg. /ts/). Phonetically, this will then be a distinction of the stop having a separate release: /ts/ → [t˭s], [tʰs] Affricates can develop from clusters of stop and [[approximant]] by fortition (and voice assimilation, if required) of the latter. An intermediate may be an affricate-approximant sequence or a devoiced approximant. The dialectal English development [tɹ] → [tʃɹ] → [tʃ] is an example. ===Affricate inventories=== Single-affricate inventories usually feature the plain /ts/, but many also make do with /tʃ/, some even with /dʒ/. This can occur even when When two affricate places of articulation are involved, almost universally either of them (and most frequently both) will be alveolar or postalveolar. Non-coronal affricates are quite rare and tend to only occur, at least if contrastiv with the corresponding plain stops, in systems having two or more types of coronal affricates as well. ''(to be expanded)'' Affricates have a stronger preference than stops for being voiceless; they also occur as ejective marginally more commonly (especially more posterior ones: in languages of southern Africa, the velar ejectiv /kʼ/ is frequently affricated as [kxʼ].) ==Orthography== The letters [[C]], [[Č]], are frequently used for the affricates /ts/, /tʃ/. For their voiced counterparts, [[J]] (when not used for [[Palatal approximant|/j/]]) is also frequently seen for /dʒ/. The letter [[Z]] is in some languages ([[German]], [[Italian]]) used for /ts/ or /dz/. Lateral affricates are commonly written using [[L]] plus a suitable stop (''tl'', ''dl'', etc.) (similarly retroflex affricates as ''tr'', ''dr'' etc.); in scientific, especially [[Americanist]] transcription, the dedicated symbols ƛ /tɬ/ and λ /dɮ/ are also used. Non-phonemic affricates are almost universally written with the corresponding individual graphemes: ''ts'', ''ds'', ''dth'', etc. This is common practice for phonemic affricates as well.

Palatalization-split 7469 56564 2010-10-07T14:09:14Z Tropylium 756 /* Variations */ A '''palatalization-split''' [[consonant]] [[inventory]] is one where every or almost every non-palatal consonant has a phonemical [[Palatalization|palatalized]] counterpart. This setup occurs mostly in North-Central Asia, including [[Russian]], [[Nenets]] and Khalkha [[Mongolian]]. (More limited palatalization contrasts are common in the area, too.) Palatalization splits (and especially the more complex variants - see below), go frequently together with wholly or partly [[vertical vowel system]]s, with vowel frontness filled in from palatality of the preceding consonant, eg. /mʲi/ → [mʲi], but /mi/ → [mɨ]. It is these kind of languages where '''palatalized palatals''' are possible: this will be a segment that is both palatal in its articulation and imparts a palatal coloring: /ja/ → [ja], but /jʲa/ → [jɛ] ''vel. sim.'' Interaction with [[vowel harmony]] offers similar possibilities (perhaps implying a [[suprasegmental]] interpretation of palatality). ==History== A palatalization split can come about by excessive diachronic [[palatalization]] followed by neutralization of the conditioning vowel contrasts (eg. /mi/ → /mʲi/, but /mɨ/ → /mi/). The neutralization does not need to be immediately phonetical, if apparent front/back vowel contrasts can now be explained in terms of vowel coloring by a consonant's palatalization. Thus, we have the following phases: # Palatalization of many consonants # Non-palatal consonants no longer occur before front vowels # Palatalization is reanalyzed as a feature of the consonants rather than the vowels # Vowel frontness is reanalyzed as resulting from consonant palatality Not all languages can reach phase 4: this will be rendered impossible if palatalized consonants end up occurring also next to back vowels, via changes such as /Cju/ → /Cʲu/, or non-palatalized consonants end up occurring next to front vowels again, via changes such as /Cai/ → /Ce/. ==Variations== Some corresponding pairs of consonants may differ in more than palatalization. For example, alveolars will commonly become postalveolar: /sʲ/ → [ʃ], or wholly palatal: /tʲ/ → [c]. (Irish has an example with velarity: /vˠ/ → [w].) Also near the apex of the palatal [[POA]], some series may merge, leading to eg. non-palatal three-way distinction /p t k/ vs. palatal two-way distinction /pʲ c/. More complex variations featuring other modes of [[secondary articulation]]s are found dispersed over the world: * [[Irish]] has no plain consonants, only palatalized and [[Velarization|velarized]] variants. * [[Marshallese]] takes this one step further with a palatalized/velarized/[[Labialization|labialized]] tripartite division. * Many Caucasian, especially [[Northwest Caucasian]] languages have idiosyncratic variations where certain but not all series can occur palatalized or labialized (typically, palatalized labial or coronal stops, or retroflex affricates, are lacking, as are labialized labials). Curiously, purely labialization or velarization-split systems do not seem to exist. Languages with many [[emphatic]] consonants can be essentially [[pharyngealization]]-split however.

The onset of such a consonant belong to the same syllable as the vowel preceding it, while the release of the consonant belong to the same syllable as the vowel following it. == Morphological processes == *When a suffix that begins with a long consonant or a voiced plosive or /z/ is added to a word that ends with a consonant, the initial consonant of the suffix becomes a single unvoiced consonant. For this reason, in the lists of suffixes in this article, the first consonant letter representing a long consonant is put in parenthesis (for example like this: -(t)to). The voicing change however is not indicated, so attention is required. *When two aspirated consonants are adjacent, or when a plain plosives is followed by its aspirated version, those two become a long aspirated plosive. *When a suffix changes the last vowel of a word, diphthongs count as one vowel. So for example the singular first person pronoun ''pot'ya'' with the ergative suffix -ak' is ''pot'ak<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' and not *pot'yak'. An exception is if the dipthong begins with /j/ or /w/ that is preceded by a vowel, in which case the /j/ or /w/ is retained. === Vowel harmony === Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo has front-back vowel harmony. In the list below, front vowels have been marked with <span style="color:Blue">blue</span> and back vowels with <span style="color:Red">red</span>. There are also neutral vowels, which are {{IPA|/u, uː, ju, juː, wuː/}}. Each suffix is by default front or back (unless it is neutral), and if the suffix is attached to a word of the opposite affinity, the vowels in the suffix will change according to this list (note that not all vowels make matching pairs, for example the opposite of /ue/ is /wo/, but the opposite of /wo/ is {{IPA|/wø/}}). *<span style="color:Red">{{IPA|ɑ}}</span> → <span style="color:Blue">e</span> *<span style="color:Blue">e</span> → <span style="color:Red">{{IPA|ɑ}}</span> *<span style="color:Blue">i</span> → u *<span style="color:Red">o</span> → <span style="color:Blue">{{IPA|ø}}</span> *<span style="color:Red">{{IPA|oː}}</span> → <span style="color:Blue">wy</span> *<span style="color:Blue">{{IPA|ø}}</span> → <span style="color:Red">o</span> *<span style="color:Blue">y</span> → u *<span style="color:Red">{{IPA|ɑi}}</span> → <span style="color:Blue">i</span> *<span style="color:Red">{{IPA|ɑu}}</span> → <span style="color:Blue">i</span> *<span style="color:Blue">ue</span> → <span style="color:Red">wo</span> *<span style="color:Red">{{IPA|jɑ}}</span> → <span style="color:Blue">je</span> *<span style="color:Blue">je</span> → <span style="color:Red">{{IPA|jɑ}}</span> *<span style="color:Red">jo</span> → <span style="color:Blue">{{IPA|jø}}</span> *<span style="color:Red">{{IPA|joː}}</span> → <span style="color:Blue">jy</span> *<span style="color:Red">{{IPA|wɑ}}</span> → <span style="color:Blue">we</span> *<span style="color:Blue">we</span> → <span style="color:Red">{{IPA|wɑ}}</span> *<span style="color:Blue">wi</span> → {{IPA|wuː}} *<span style="color:Red">wo</span> → <span style="color:Blue">{{IPA|wø}}</span> *<span style="color:Blue">{{IPA|wø}}</span> → <span style="color:Red">wo</span> *<span style="color:Blue">wy</span> → <span style="color:Red">{{IPA|oː}}</span> Throughout this article, suffixes that go with back vowel words are consistently with red, and suffixes going with front vowel words are marked with blue.

But the apostrophe of the aspirated consonants is not duplicated however (so for example {{IPA|/kːʰ/}} is <nowiki><kk'></nowiki>). = Grammars = == Morphology == === Verbs === There are two kinds of verbs in Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo, stative and active. The stative verbs describe the state of something, for example mūzōng - be hungry, k'yokyak'ya - like, etc. Adjectives may also be zero-derived into verbs. These adjective-verbs are always stative. ==== Final verbs ==== Verbs that are inherently intransitive end with the same suffix that is used for [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Voice|active voice]]. This whole suffix is deleted when another suffix (like the [[Proto-Kunnurūjungo#Voice|causative voice]] or [[Proto-Kunnurūjungo#Mood|imperative mood]]) requires deletion of the final syllable of the stem. ===== Voice ===== In the following table, the affixes marked with <span style="color:Blue">blue</span> go together with front vowel words, and the ones in <span style="color:Red">red</span> with back vowel words. If a word has only neutral vowels, the affix that stands first in the morphology column will be used. {| class="wikitable" ! Voice ! Morphology !

It shifts focus from the agent to the patient, and it is often used for indicating that someone did something to the patient without asking for consent, or even outright against the patient's will, or that the patient succumbed to a situation that was not brought on by any sentient being. Another use for the passive is for turning a transitive verb into an intransitive while demoting the agent. For example ''negefa'' is an inherently transitive verb which means "break". Using the passive voice is the only way to make it an intransitive verb with the meaning that something gets broken, because using the active voice would have the meaning that someone breaks something (without telling what that "something" is).<p> The causative voice is used for marking that someone makes, lets or somehow causes someone else to do something. It can also be used for turning an agent-less verb into one that takes an agent as its argument. For example the word ''satto'' means burn, as in "the wood is burning". To express that someone burns something, the causative voice would be used. This verb can be used either [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Intransitive sentences|intransitively]], i.e. without a patient, or [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Transitive sentences|transitively]].<p> The passive-causative is simply a combination of the passive and causative voices. ===== Tense and aspect ===== Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo has arguably four basic tenses (past, present, frequentative and habitual); and three tenses (remote past, future, remote future) and two aspects (progressive and perfect) that are expressed by periphrastic or other means, plus several combinations of the aforementioned.<p> Stative verbs can not take the habitual tense, or perfect or progressive aspects.<p> In the following table, where all allowed combinations of tenses and aspects are displayed, the frequentative has been grouped together with the aspects for ease of representation. The A marks the place for the [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Voice|active voice]] suffix, C for the causative suffix, and the M for [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Mood|mood]] suffixes, if there are any. The passive voice is rather complicated, so see [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo conjugation tables]] for how it is expressed together with any tense or aspect. {| class="wikitable" ! Tense ! Aspect !

It is usually understood to mean present tense, but if need be, one can specify past meaning with the adverb ''öttöt'' (before), and future meaning with the adverb ''allogau'' (intends to).<p> The frequentative can have the meaning of just doing something repeatedly, or doing something repeatedly and in several locations. For example ''myosyak'yadung'' can either mean "to jump around", or "to jump up and down at the same spot". ===== Mood ===== {| class="wikitable" ! Mood ! Morphology !

But sometimes it is used on both the "if" and the "then" part simultaneously. The conditional can only be used together with the simple past, past frequentative and habitual tenses. Any aspect together with past tense can be used however.<p> The energetic mood is used when expressing what oneself actually believes to be the case, despite of what anyone else thinks. It can be used together with any tense and aspect.<p> The hortative denotes the meaning of "let's". No tense marking is used when the hortative mood is used, except for that the frequentative can be used together with it. No aspects can be used with it. It goes together with any voice except for passive-causative.<p> The imperative mood is used for making commands. It is not used together with any particular voice, tense or aspect, except that it can be used with the frequentative, in which case the present frequentative suffix is added after the last syllable of the verb has been deleted. The adressee, which is optional, can be put before the verb in the vocative case.<p> The optative can be used for expressing a wish in one of these cases: # The wish is not up to any person to make come true, for example "may it not rain tomorrow". # The wish is directed at someone who is not present and contactable at the time being, for example "may the king not raise the taxes again" said by someone who has never met, and probably never will meet, the king. # The wish is dependent on a large group of people, like ''the society'' or ''mankind''. As an example: "let's all work together to make the world a better place to live". The optative can only be used together with the present simple, present frequentative and habitual tenses. Any aspect together with present tense is also allowed.<p> The volitive mood has two similar uses. One is used to express that one doesn't approve of, or like, the state of affairs, but reluctantly accepts it because nothing else can be done. The other use expresses that one doesn't really wish for something to happen, but lets it happen anyway because one can't be bothered to do something about it. This mood can only be used together with the present simple, present frequentative and habitual tenses. Any aspect, except for perfect, can be used together with the present tense.<p> The combination of the conditional and energetic moods has two different uses. One means that one wishes current things to be in a certain way instead of how they are now. The other use means that one wishes for something to happen; either wishing it very intently, or being hopeful or optimistic about it happening. This mood can be used with the same tenses and aspects as the simple conditional.<p> Combining the hortative mood with the energetic adds a persuasive tone to the proposal made. It can be used together with the same tenses and aspects as the simple hortative.<p> Using the combination of imperative and energetic is paradoxically more polite than using the imperative alone. In this case, the energetic mood makes the statement more of a suggestion than a command. The tenses it can used together with are the same as for the simple imperative.<p> Together with the optative, the energetic has simply a more intensifying meaning. This can be used with the same tenses and aspects as the simple optative. ==== Non-finals ==== ===== Infinitives ===== In [http://wals.info/feature/description/62 action nominal constructions], when the active form of any of the infinitives is used, any agent argument of that infinitive takes the genitive case and any patient argument gets either the genitive or the nominative-absolutive case (except for the deverbal noun where both arguments always get the genitive). With the passive forms of an infinitive, the patient gets the genitive case and the agent ablative case (including the deverbal noun).<p> In other kinds of constructions, the object of an infinitive gets nominative-absolutive case. For the simple infinitives, the object is placed before the finite verb. The deverbal nouns have other requirements though, see [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Deverbal Nouns|Deverbal Nouns]] for the details. {| class="wikitable" ! Type of infinitive ! Morphology !

For example: {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | k'yamk'ottōtk'-a || align="left" | madūkka-∅-ng || align="left" | t'yamchya-∅ |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | shooting.star-NA || align="left" | want-UNM-PRES || align="left" | see-INF |- | colspan="4" | ''I want to see a shooting star.'' |} ====== Inessive Infinitives ====== The inessive infinitive has the meaning of "when someone is doing something"; it is used as a time reference. {| ! align="left" | Pot'ya-t || align="left" | pōkp'ya-ppu || align="left" | küllöd-öppi || align="left" | p'adab-a || align="left" | sai-nnat || align="left" | opkōya-tt-o |- | align="left" | 1SG-GEN || align="left" | forest-INE || align="left" | walk-ACT.INE.INF || align="left" | lightning-NA || align="left" | tree-ILL || align="left" | strike-ACT-PAST |- | colspan="6" | ''When I was walking in the forest, lightning struck a tree.'' |} ====== Instructive Infinitives ====== The instructive infinitive describes in what manner something happens. For example: {| ! align="left" | Myod-a || align="left" | pingketti-dö || align="left" | p'utsūg-ōt || align="left" | pöttü-tt-ö |- | align="left" | 3SG-NA || align="left" | market-ALL || align="left" | row-INSTR.INF || align="left" | go-ACT-PAST |- | colspan="4" | ''He went to the market by rowing.'' |} ====== Adverb Infinitives ====== The adverb infinitive requires a case (marked with C in the table). It has different meanings depending on the case used. The following table contains all cases that can be combined with the adverb infinitive. {| class="wikitable" ! Case ! Example |- | Abessive || kallobakku - without digging |- | Exessive || kallobatk'a - from having been digging |- | Inessive || kallobappu - in the middle of digging |- | Instrumental || kallobōp' - by digging |- | Translative || kallobak'p'o - to go digging |} The exessive and translative are used for expressing that someone goes from one activity to another, with the exessive corresponding to the ''from'' part, and the translative to the ''to'' part. For example: {| ! align="left" | Pot'-a || align="left" | opk'ū-ba-tk'a || align="left" | p'ōnoppu-ba-nnat || align="left" | pöttü-tt-ö |- | align="left" | 1SG-NA || align="left" | sit-ADV.INF-EXE || align="left" | stand-ADV.INF-TRANSL || align="left" | go-ACT-PAST |- | colspan="4" | ''I went from sitting to standing.'' |} The difference between the inessive infinitive and the inessive adverb infinitive is that the inessive infinitive can be used for comparing two situations in time: "when doing X, Y happened"; while the inessive adverb infinitive can't be used that way. A single verb in the inessive adverb infinitive form can be used as an answer to the question where someone is. For example:<p> -Peppü op'a uttong? (Where is dad?)<br> -Kadappappu. (Out fishing.)<p> The inessive adverb infinitive is also the same as the progressive aspect. ====== Deverbal Nouns ====== This form derives the name of the act of doing something. The difference between deverbal nouns and the simple infinitives is that the simple infinitives are used as objects while deverbal nouns are used as subjects. Deverbal nouns function just like normal nouns and can therefore take any case, or even the plural suffix when referring to several instances of some act. If the deverbal noun has an object argument, it gets the genitive case. So for example "the eating of food" would be nūjugat p'yowobossan. ===== Participles ===== {| class="wikitable" ! Participle !

Example |- | Active Past Participle || -ttūk<sup>1</sup> || p'yowottūk sutsoga - boy who has eaten <br> kwettūk k'wik'wö - girl who has heard |- | Passive Past Participle || -<span style="color:Red">k'p'o</span> k'ūttūk <br> -<span style="color:Blue">k'p'ö</span> k'ūttūk || p'yowochyak'p'o k'ūttūk nūjuga - food that is eaten <br> kwedik'p'ö k'ūttūk hūjungū - gossip that is heard |- | Active Present Participle || -<span style="color:Red">lla</span><sup>1</sup> <br> -<span style="color:Blue">lle</span><sup>1</sup> || p'yowolla sutsoga - boy who is eating <br> kwelle k'wik'wö - girl who is hearing |- | Passive Present Participle || -<span style="color:Red">k'p'o</span> k'ūlle <br> -<span style="color:Blue">k'p'ö</span> k'ūlle || p'yowochyak'p'o k'ūlle nūjuga - food that is being eaten <br> kwedik'p'ö k'ūlle hūjungū - gossip that is being heard |- | Active Agent Participle |- | Passive Agent Participle || -<span style="color:Red">ba</span><sup>1</sup> <br> -<span style="color:Blue">be</span><sup>1</sup> || sutsogat p'yowoba nūjuga - food eaten by the boy <br> k'wik'wöt kwebe hūjungū - gossip heard by the girl |} <sup>1</sup>The last syllable from the verb stem is deleted before this suffix is added.<p> When a verb is used for describing a noun the way adjectives are used, the verb takes a participle form. There are only two tenses, past and present. There are active participles, describing an agent, and passive participles, describing a patient. Causative voice can also be used. In that case, the causative suffix is added before the participle suffix as follows: {| ! align="left" | K'yapya || align="left" | ōppok'yob-ak' || align="left" | t'ūgū-k'ye-lle || align="left" | ud-∅-ong |- | align="left" | this || align="left" | show-ERG || align="left" | sleep-CAUS-ACT.PRES.PTC || align="left" | is-UNM-PRES |- | colspan="4" | ''This show is sleep-inducing.'' |} Both active participles can take an object, and the passive present and agent participles a subject, all of which are marked with the genitive case. The subject or object is placed right before the participle.<p> The agent participle is similar to the passive past participle, but the difference is that the past passive participle doesn't take a subject. If a noun (or pronoun) with genitive case is placed before the passive past participle, it means that the object described by the participle belongs to the person or thing marked by the genitive case. While for the agent participle, the genitive marks who the action has been done by.<p> The noun following a participle can have any case. If a core case is used, which one is used is governed by the finite verb's voice. The participle itself can be used as the object of the copula, as in the above example sentence. The copula will have the unmarked voice and the subject ergative case, but no nominative-absolutive case will be present. === Nouns === ==== Number ==== The singular form of nouns is unmarked, while the plural is marked with the suffix -k. If the noun ends with a consonant, a vowel, usually ō or wü (depending on vowel harmony), is inserted before the -k suffix. There are many irregular plurals though, that will use o, ö or wū as the vowel instead. In [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#San words|San words]], final -san becomes -sōk and -sen becomes -swük. ==== Case ==== The final -n is deleted from [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#San words|San words]] before the case suffix is added. {| class="wikitable" !

If used with any other kind of noun, it has the meaning of each of those separately. For example the sentence ''k'yapya k'yowa k'ōm sangok'ullat'' means "do this assignment in pairs", where the word for pair (''sango'') carries the distributive case. The distributive case can not be used with pronouns.<p> The distributive-temporal case is only used together with words relating to time. It has the meaning that something is done during that time, but unlike the simple distributive case it doesn't necessarily mean that it is done during ''every'' such time period.<p> The essive case has the meaning of ''as'' or ''if''. For example ''kyot'pyatta syazolyatta sidöding'' - during a cold day one freezes, or ''nogapwatta ōno k'yowopk'yudappo'' - as a rich man I wouldn't do work.<p> The genitive case is used for marking possession (with the posessive preceding the head noun), as well as for marking the agent in [[Proto-Kunnurūjungo#Transitive sentences|passive sentences]]. If the genitive case is used on a word that ends with a consonant, a vowel is inserted before the suffix. This is the same vowel as the one used in the [[Proto-Kunnurūjungo#Number|plural]] form.<p> The instrumental tells that something is used as a tool. It can't be used with personal pronouns or animate nouns. If need be, the pronoun or animate noun can be given the nominative-accusative case, followed by the word küwikkōt (use-[[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Instructive Infinitives|INSTR.INF]]).<p> The prolative tells "by which medium or route". For example ''rōtta hugokp'ō kūt'kōnang'' - the boat travels by river. It can't be used with pronouns or animate nouns. ===== Locational cases ===== The ablative has the meaning of "from the vicinity or topside of something". The elative on the other hand means "from the inside of something". The elative has two other uses as well. One is, when used on a time noun, it means "from that time onwards". The other is for expressing what someone feels; the person who is feeling gets the elative case.<p> The adessive has the meaning of "by, near or on top of something". The inessive means "inside something". Both the adessive and inessive can be used together with a time noun to indicate when something happened or will happen. The difference is that the adessive is used when the action stretches out during ''the whole'' time period, while the inessive is used about things that happened ''sometime during'' that time period.<p> The allative has the meaning of "to the vicinity or topside of something", while the illative has the meaning "to the inside of something". The illative can also be used with a time noun to indicate "until a certain time".<p> The "inside" meaning of the internal locatives (elative, inessive and illative) is also applied to objects that somehow cover something else (even if only partially). For example, when describing someone sitting on a chair, one of the internal locatives would be used because a chair has a back support, so the person sitting in it would have his or her back covered. A stool on the other hand does not have any part that covers a person, so one of the external locatives (ablative, adessive or allative) would be used. The external locatives are also used when describing possession of, or transaction of, items between people.<p> The exessive and translative cases describe either that something turns into something else, or that something changes from one state into another. The exessive is the source and the translative is the result. The exessive can also be used to descibe what something is made of. ===== Other cases ===== The abessive case has the meaning of "without". It can't be used with personal pronouns or nouns standing for humanoid beings. Instead the preposition ot'pat is used, followed by the given noun or pronoun in essive case.<p> The vocative case is used when addressing someone by their name or title, and also when calling someone a rude word. The word with the vocative case can be placed either at the beginning or end of the sentence. === Pronouns === ==== Personal Pronouns ==== Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo has a three-way distinction of person in its personal pronouns, but no gender distinction. {| class="wikitable" ! ! 1<sup>st</sup> person ! 2<sup>nd</sup> person ! 3<sup>rd</sup> person ! Interrogative |- ! Singular || pot'ya <br> ''I'' || p'ot'ya <br> ''you'' || myat <br> ''he/she'' || kūga <br> ''who'' |- ! Plural || pō <br> ''we'' || k'ō <br> ''you'' || mō <br> ''they'' || kōkkya <br> ''who'' |} In the daughter languages of Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo the second person pronouns are avoided for politeness, and instead the addressee's name or title is used. In Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo, at least the singular second person pronoun was avoided, but it is unclear if it was because of politeness reasons or because it was so similar to the singular first person pronoun. If the plural second person pronoun was also avoided is unknown. ==== Demonstrative Pronouns ==== {| class="wikitable" ! ! 1<sup>st</sup> person ! 2<sup>nd</sup> person ! 3<sup>rd</sup> person ! Interrogative ! Interrogative dual |- ! Singular || k'yapya <br> ''this'' || k'ūju <br> ''that'' || p'ō <br> ''that/it'' || pokya <br> ''what'' || kūp'so <br> ''which'' |- ! Plural || t'yapya <br> ''these'' || t'ūju <br> ''those'' || t'ō <br> ''those/they'' || pokkya <br> ''which'' || kūp'sok <br> ''which ones'' |} The demonstrative pronouns refer to inanimate things and non-humanoid beings, except for the singular interrogative dual which can also be used about humanoids. The demonstrative pronouns can also be used as demonstrative determiners. The interrogative dual has the meaning of "which one (of two alternative)". The plural form is used when referring to two groups of things. ==== Relative Pronouns ==== There are two relative pronouns: huga, which refers to the preceding word (or noun preceding numeral); and pokya which refers to the preceding clause or sentence. If a relative pronouns is used without the thing it refers to having been explicitly mentioned, then huga will be used if the implicit thing is animate, and pokya if it is inanimate. For example: {| ! align="left" | Myat-ōt || align="left" | op'-a || align="left" | atk'wa-tto-∅, || align="left" | myad-ak' || align="left" | pog-a || align="left" | syuk'yu-∅-∅ |- | align="left" | 3SG-GEN || align="left" | father-NOMABS || align="left" | give-ACT-HAB || align="left" | 3SG-ERG || align="left" | what-NOMABS || align="left" | ask.for-UNM-HAB |- | colspan="6" | ''Her father gives her what she asks for.'' |} The relative pronoun gets the same number as the thing it refers to, and whichever case is required in the position the relative pronoun appears in. Unless the relative pronoun appears without something it refers to, as in the above example, it is moved to the beginning of the relative clause. ==== Reciprocal Pronoun ==== The reciprocal pronoun is ''k'utsossan'' (''k'utsossa'' in nominative-absolutive case and ''k'utsossōt'' in genitive). Below are examples of the word in both cases. {| ! align="left" | M-ak' || align="left" | k'utsoss-a || align="left" | nagapk'wa-∅-ng |- | align="left" | 3PL-ERG || align="left" | each.other-NA || align="left" | love-UNM-PRES |- | colspan="3" | ''They love each other.'' |} {| ! align="left" | M-ak' || align="left" | k'utsoss-ōt || align="left" | mofūp-ōk-a || align="left" | tōnogakk-∅-o |- | align="left" | 3PL-ERG || align="left" | each.other-GEN || align="left" | hair-PL-NA || align="left" | cut-UNM-PAST |- | colspan="4" | ''They cut each other's hair.'' |} ==== Reflexive Pronoun ==== The reflexive pronoun is ''okp'ō''. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | okp'-a || align="left" | sōpk'-∅-o |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | self-NA || align="left" | wash-UNM-PAST |- | colspan="3" | ''I washed myself.'' |} The reflexive pronoun can also be used for emphasis, in which case it is placed after the verb. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | p'-a || align="left" | k'ōmchya-∅-ng || align="left" | okp'ō |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | it-NA || align="left" | do-UNM-PRES || self |- | colspan="4" | ''I'll do it myself!'' |} ==== Quantifier Pronouns ==== {| class="wikitable" ! &ensp; ! Inclusive ! Exclusive ! Universal ! Negative |- ! Singular humanoid | kūga k'annatp'a <br> ''anyone'' || hugū <br> ''someone'' || rowspan="2" | killege <br> ''everyone'' || ōno kūkyut <br> ''no one'' |- ! Plural humanoid | kōkkya k'annatp'a <br> ''anyone'' || hukkūk <br> ''someone'' || ōno kōkkyut <br> ''no one'' |- !

Plural non-humanoid | pokkya k'annatp'a <br> ''any'' || hukkot <br> ''some'' || ōno pokkyut <br> ''no'' |} The singular non-humanoids can also be used as determiners. The plural non-humanoids can only be used as determiners. See also [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Quantifier adverbs|Quantifier adverbs]] for more quantifiers. === Adjectives === [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#San words|San adjectives]] declinate slightly differently than other adjectives, as the final -an or -en is deleted from San adjectives before comparison suffixes are added. The following table displays both types of declination. {| class="wikitable" ! Comparison ! Suffix ! Example |- ! colspan="3" | San adjectives |- | Positive || -∅ || sūttallossan - red <br> negettüzessen - broken |- | Comparative || -<span style="color:Red">ōp'so</span> <br> -<span style="color:Blue">wüp'sö</span> || sūttallossōp'so - redder <br> negettüzesswüp'sö - more broken |- | Superlative || -<span style="color:Red">ot</span> <br> -<span style="color:Blue">öt</span> || sūttallossot - reddest <br> negettüzessöt - most broken |- ! colspan="3" | Other adjectives |- | Positive || -∅ || mochap - slow <br> kūbi - odd |- | Comparative || -<span style="color:Red">p'so</span><sup>1</sup> <br> -<span style="color:Blue">p'sö</span> || mochap'so - slower <br> kūbip'sö - odder |- | Superlative || -<span style="color:Red">tsot</span><sup>1</sup> <br> -<span style="color:Blue">tsöt</span> || mochatsot - slowest <br> kūbitsöt - oddest |} <sup>1</sup>If the adjective ends with p, the p is deleted before this suffix is added. (There are only front vowel adjectives that end with p.) === Adverbs === ==== Adverbs related to pronouns ==== These adverbs are related to the pronouns in that there's a person distinction among them as well as interrogative forms (allthough some of them distinguish fewer than three persons), and that some of them are somehow derived from the pronouns (cf for example the locational adverbs with the demonstrative pronouns). {| class="wikitable" ! &ensp; ! 1<sup>st</sup> person ! 2<sup>nd</sup> person ! 3<sup>rd</sup> person ! Interrogative |- ! Locational | k'ue- <br> here || k'ūju- <br> there || p'e- <br> there || po- <br> where |- !

Reason | colspan="3" | p'ok'p'o <br> therefore || pok'p'o <br> why |} The locational adverbs are obligatorily combined with a [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Case|locational case suffix]]. ===== Quantifier adverbs ===== {| class="wikitable" ! &ensp; ! Inclusive ! Exclusive ! Universal ! Negative |- ! Locative | poppu k'annatp'a <br> ''anywhere'' || huppiget <br> ''somewhere'' || killegedi <br> ''everywhere'' || ōno popkyut <br> ''nowhere'' |- !

The words that are solely postpositions require the preceding noun to have genitive case. The tables in the following sections use the word k'adu (house) (and in some cases op'ya (father)) as an example together with the adpositions. ==== Postpositions ==== {| class="wikitable" ! Motion to ! Being at a location ! Motion away ! Motion across |- | k'adut adado <br> ''under the house'' || k'adut adadu <br> ''under the house'' || k'adut adat'k'ya <br> ''from underneath the house'' || k'adut adakp'ō <br> ''underneath the house'' |- | k'adut kōpkodo <br> ''to the middle of the house'' || k'adut kōpkodu <br> ''in the middle of the house'' || k'adut kōpkot'k'ya <br> ''from the middle of the house'' || k'adut kōpkokp'ō <br> ''across the middle of the house'' |- | k'adut k'agado <br> ''behind the house'' || k'adut k'agadu <br> ''behind the house'' || k'adut k'agat'k'ya <br> ''from behind the house'' || k'adut k'agakp'ō <br> ''across the back of the house'' |- | k'adut ōkkūdo <br> ''in front of the house'' || k'adut ōkkūdu <br> ''in front of the house'' || k'adut ōkkūt'k'ya <br> ''from front of the house'' || k'adut ōkkūkp'ō <br> ''across the front of the house'' |- | k'adut p'ollūdo <br> ''beside the house'' || k'adut p'ollūdu <br> ''beside the house'' || p'ollūt'k'ya <br> ''from beside the house'' || k'adut p'ollūkp'ō <br> ''past the side of the house'' |- | k'adut p'op'yannat <br> ''into the house'' || k'adut p'op'yappu <br> ''inside the house'' || k'adut p'op'yapk'a <br> ''from the inside of the house'' || (use tyassokp'ō instead, see the list further down the section) |- | k'adut rofōngōdo <br> ''beside the house'' || k'adut rofōngōdu <br> ''beside the house'' || k'adut rofōngōt'k'ya <br> ''from beside the house'' || - |- | op'yat tūjudo <br> ''to father's home/vicinity'' || op'yat tūjudu <br> ''at father's home/vicinity'' || op'yat tūjut'k'ya <br> ''from father's home/vicinity'' || - |- | k'adut tyannodo <br> ''near the house'' || tyannodu <br> ''near the house'' || k'adut tyannot'k'ya <br> ''from near the house / something passes near the house'' || - |- | k'adut yotyado <br> ''on top of the house / above the house'' || k'adut yotyadu <br> ''on top of the house / above the house'' || k'adut yotyat'k'ya <br> ''from the top of the house / from above the house'' || k'adut yotyakp'ō <br> ''over the house'' |} The difference between p'ollū- and rofōngō- could be said to be that p'ollū- denotes the area next to something, so for example ''sa ut k'ūdit p'ollūdu'' (the tree is beside the house) could be said even if there is some third object between the house and the tree, making it impossible to see the house from where the tree is. Though p'ollū- and rofōngō- are synonymous to most speakers.<p> The tūju- postpositions can only be used in reference of an animate being. They can either have the meaning of near that person, or that person's home (whether or not he is home).<p> The tyanno- postpositions can also be used as adverbs.<p> The following invariant postpositions also exist: *hyat'kodu - after (locational) *hyat'koppu - after (temporal) *ippöpyette - in someone's place *killūkki - via *k'agofa - for someone's sake; because of *rangk'ōt<sup>1</sup> - for a purpose *sūjudopk'a - on behalf of somebody *tyassokp'ō - through *unnokp'ō - past (locational) *yop'syono - around (only one lap) <sup>1</sup>This postposition requires the noun to have the exessive case instead of genitive. ==== Ambipositions ==== The following table shows all ambipositions as well as the cases the call for in the nouns they modify. {| class="wikitable" ! Ambiposition ! Case of noun |- | kumk'o - toward || Allative |- | kutk'yunga - against || Essive |- | rapk'ōt - against || Any [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Locational cases|external locative]] |- | rapk'wat - toward; versus || Allative |- | sokkot - along || Any [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Locational cases|external locative]] |} The difference between kumk'o and rapk'wat is that rapk'wat is only used about something moving towards a person. Kumk'o is used either about someone or something moving towards some inanimate object or place, about someone moving with malicious intent toward some person, or about something capable of causing injury moving towards a person. Rapk'wat can not have any of these meanings. Rapk'wat is usually used about a person moving toward someone else to greet that person, or for describing who or what one has met during one's way. With these meanings, rapk'wat can also be used as an adverb modifying an inessive infinitive. Paradoxically, one other use for rapk'wat is like the word "versus" in a battle (possibly because a sports battle is entered with both parties' consent, while battles in war are meant to be fought with a code of honour).<p> The difference between kutk'yunga and rapk'ōt is that rapk'ōt is used for describing the position of some object, usually together with the verbs with a meaning similar to "lean". Kutk'yunga on the other is used about someone or something being against someone else's order or will. ==== Prepositions ==== {| class="wikitable" ! Preposition ! Case of noun |- | ot'pat - without || Essive |- | öttöt - before || Essive or illative |- | yop'syono - around (several laps) || Adessive |} Ot'pat can only be used together with pronouns or nouns standing for humanoid beings.<p> Öttöt, (which can also be used as an adverb,) calls for the illative case on time nouns, and otherwise essive. See examples below. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-a || align="left" | mōnyatt-o || align="left" | öttöt || align="left" | allūngotkut-t'uptūgu-nnat |- | align="left" | 1SG-NOMABS || align="left" | wake.up-PAST || align="left" | before || align="left" | sun-rise-ILL |- | colspan="4" | ''I woke up before sunrise.'' |} {| ! align="left" | P'ot'-a || align="left" | k'ūdi-tt-o || align="left" | kukko-nnat || align="left" | öttöt || align="left" | pot'ya-tk'a |- | align="left" | 2SG-NOMABS || align="left" | come-ACT-PAST || align="left" | home-ILL || align="left" | before || align="left" | 1SG-ESS |- | colspan="5" | ''You came home before me.'' |} === Numerals === Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo has a decimal system. The numbers 11-19 are expressed by adding the suffix -k'utsossan to one of the numbers 1-9. Higher numbers are expressed simply by placing the name of one of the numbers 2-9 before the name of one of the numbers 10, 100, 1000 or 10 000. For example, 20 is called ''kak'p'o-kwibössen'' and 317 is called ''kut'pō-p'akka-kwibössen-p'ōnokp'ōpyat''. {| class="wikitable" ! Number ! Cardinal Numeral ! Ordinal Numeral !

The distributive numerals are used for expressing how many parts something should be divided into. These are indeed the same as the cardinal numbers with the distributive case. The interrogative number is used when asking questions that include "how many...", and also as a relative pronoun. Interrogative numerals are always used with the interrogative clitic -ku, which is placed after any numeral classifier. ==== Numeral Classifiers ==== When a numeral is used referring to a certain number of things, the numeral must be accompanied by a classifier suffix. Different suffixes are used depending on what is counted. So for example two carrots would be called ''kak'p'ohaingo sungkitti'' while two rocks would be called ''kak'p'opwomkyonya kollo'' (''sungkitti'' meaning carrot and ''kollo'' rock).<p> The following table lists all classifiers. Since there are no neutral vowel numerals, the suffixes are presented with the one that goes with back vowel words first, and the one going with front vowel words second. {| class ="wikitable" !

Kwibössen becomes kwibössek and k'ūnnak becomes k'ūnnagōk. == Syntax == === Transitive sentences === In Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo transitive sentences are ergative while intransitive sentences are nominative. In transitive sentences, the subject takes ergative case and the object nominative-absolutive if the unmarked or causative voice is used. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | ubōtt-a || align="left" | p'yowochya-∅-ng |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | apple-NA || align="left" | eat-UNM-PRES |- | colspan="3" | ''I eat an apple.'' |} In causative sentences, the person who is caused to do something gets the allative case. This person goes between the subject and the direct object. The causer, causee and direct object are all optional, but at least one of the three must be in a given sentence. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | myat-to || align="left" | tallūd-a || align="left" | kwe-k'ye-ng |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | 3SG-ALL || align="left" | song-NA || align="left" | hear-CAUS-PRES |- | colspan="4" | ''I make him hear a song.'' |} In passive sentences, the agent, which is optional, comes between the patient and verb. The patient gets absolutive case and the agent genitive. {| ! align="left" | Ubōtt-a || align="left" | pot'ya-t || align="left" | k'ūd-e p'yowo-ttūk |- | align="left" | apple-NA || align="left" | 1SG-GEN || align="left" | PASS-PAST eat-PASS |- | colspan="3" | ''The apple got eaten by me.'' |} === Intransitive sentences === In intransitive sentences, any voice except for the unmarked voice can be used. The subject or object gets the absolutive-nominative case. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-a || align="left" | p'yowochya-tto-ng |- | align="left" | 1SG-NA || align="left" | eat-ACT-PRES |- | colspan="2" | ''I eat.'' |} The same rules apply for the causative as in transitive sentences. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-a || align="left" | myat-to || align="left" | p'yowochya-k'ya-ng |- | align="left" | 1SG-NA || align="left" | 3SG-ALL || align="left" | eat-CAUS-PRES |- | colspan="2" | ''I make him eat.'' |} === Interrogative sentences === Questions are made by either using a question word, which is moved to the beginning of the sentence, or by adding the interrogative suffix -gu to the word that is questioned. A word with the interrogative suffix is also moved to the beginning of the sentence. {| ! align="left" | Pog-a || align="left" | p'ot'-ak' || align="left" | p'wach-∅-o |- | align="left" | what-NA || align="left" | you-ERG || align="left" | get-UNM-PAST |- | colspan="3" | ''What did you get?'' |} {| ! align="left" | Ut-to-gu || align="left" | kyot'sōnya-ng || align="left" | p'ot'-a |- | align="left" | PERF-ACT-Q || align="left" | bathe-PRES || align="left" | you-NA |- | colspan="3" | ''Have you bathed?'' |} === Negation === Negation is done with the negative auxiliary verb ōno. The verb that is negated get the simple infinitive form and is placed directly after ōno, with ōno taking all the conjugation; unless there is need to use the habitual tense or perfect or progressive aspect, in which case the negated verb is conjugated normally and ōno is placed before that verb without any marking.<p> The ōno that precedes the [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Quantifier pronouns|negative pronouns]] is removed when these words are used in negative sentences. === Comparative constructions === To make comparative constructions involving a noun, such as "X is more Z than what Y is", Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo uses the form '''X-NOMABS Z-COMP kūjot Y-NOMABS'''. For example: {| ! align="left" | K'yapya || align="left" | k'ad-a || align="left" | oppu-p'so || align="left" | kūjot || align="left" | p'-a |- | align="left" | this || align="left" | house-NOMABS || align="left" | big-COMP || align="left" | than || align="left" | that.3SG-NOMABS |- | colspan="5" | ''This house is bigger than that one.'' |} If it is a verb that is compared instead of an adjective, the following construction is used: '''X (object) Z öttöbüt kūjot Y''' (or '''X (object) öttöbüt Z kūjot Y'''). The cases of X and Y depend on the transitivity of the verb, and if Y is an agent or patient. See the following two sentences: {| ! align="left" | P'ot'-ak' || align="left" | p'ofōbōd-a || align="left" | p'yowochya-∅-∅ || align="left" | öttöbüt || align="left" | kūjot || align="left" | totk'-ak' |- | align="left" | 2SG-ERG || align="left" | seed-NOMABS || align="left" | eat-UNM-HAB || align="left" | more || align="left" | than || align="left" | bird-ERG |- | colspan="6" | ''You eat more seeds than what birds do.'' |} {| ! align="left" | P'ot'-ak' || align="left" | p'ofōbōd-a || align="left" | p'yowochya-∅-∅ || align="left" | öttöbüt || align="left" | kūjot || align="left" | totk'ū-g-a |- | align="left" | 2SG-ERG || align="left" | seed-NOMABS || align="left" | eat-UNM-HAB || align="left" | more || align="left" | than || align="left" | bird-PL-NOMABS |- | colspan="6" | ''You eat more seeds than you eat birds.'' |} In the first sentence, the bird has ergative case, meaning that the bird is an agent. In the second sentence, the word for birds has the nominative-absolutive case, giving the meaning that the birds are a patient. If the sentence has no object, then both X and Y will have the nominative-absolutive case and the verb will have active voice. The Y argument will then be an agent. As an example: {| ! align="left" | P'ot'-a || align="left" | p'yowochya-tto-∅ || align="left" | öttöbüt || align="left" | kūjot || align="left" | totk'-a |- | align="left" | 2SG-NOMABS || align="left" | eat-ACT-HAB || align="left" | more || align="left" | than || align="left" | bird-NOMABS |- | colspan="6" | ''You eat more than what birds do.'' |} === Purpose clauses === There are several ways in which purpose can be expressed in Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo. One way is to have the main event followed by the dependent event with the conjunction hukki between them. {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | kad-a || align="left" | p'ūjudakka-∅-ng || align="left" | hukki || align="left" | p'-a || align="left" | ōno-tt-o || align="left" | sodak'yotto-ppo |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | fish-NOMABS || align="left" | salt-UNM-PRES || align="left" | so.that || align="left" | it-NOMABS || align="left" | not-ACT-PAST || align="left" | get.bad-COND |- | colspan="7" | ''I salt the fish so that it will not get bad''. |} If the two verbs have the same agent, the dependent verb can be turned into a simple infinitive with translative case. If the main verb is a verb of movement (such as go, come, etc.), then the dependent verb may alternatively be realized as an adverb infinitive. Both ways are exemplified in the following two sentences: {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | nūjug-a || align="left" | up-pa-k'p'o || align="left" | pingketti-dö || align="left" | pött-ö |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | food-NOMABS || align="left" | buy-ADVINF-TRANSL || align="left" | market-ALL || align="left" | go-PAST |- | colspan="5" | ''I went to the market to buy food.'' |} {| ! align="left" | Pot'-ak' || align="left" | nūjug-a || align="left" | upk'wa-∅-k'p'o || align="left" | pingketti-dö || align="left" | pött-ö |- | align="left" | 1SG-ERG || align="left" | food-NOMABS || align="left" | buy-INF-TRANSL || align="left" | market-ALL || align="left" | go-PAST |- | colspan="5" | ''I went to the market to buy food.'' |} Another way is to have a noun (or deverbal noun) followed by the postposition rangk'ōt. === Reporting === To report what someone else has said, the construction '''X-ERG VERB-UNM (ökkü) QUOTE''' is used, where X is the source of information, VERB is a verb like say, tell, etc. (with tense, aspect and mood as appropriate), and QUOTE is an independent clause. If the report is in direct speech, the particle ökkü will be used. If the report is in indirect speech, ökkü is not used, and the deictic center in the quote is changed to that of the speaker. === Evidentiality === Evidentiality can be expressed with a pronoun in the genitive case followed by one of three evidentiality verbs in the instructive infinitive form. The pronoun specifies according who, and the verb what kind of evidentiality. This construction precedes the main verb (or auxiliary + main verb construction). {| class="wikitable" ! Person ! Evidentiality type ! Morphology |- | 1<sup></sup>st || Inferential || pot'yat t'yamchyōt |- | 2<sup>nd</sup> || Inferential || p'ot'yat t'yamchōt |- | 3<sup>rd</sup> || Inferential || myatōt t'yamchōt |- | 1<sup>st</sup> || Reportative || pot'yat kwetwüt |- | 2<sup>nd</sup> || Reportative || p'ot'yat kwetwüt |- | 3<sup>rd</sup> || Reportative || myatōt kwetwüt |- | 1<sup>st</sup> || Direct Knowledge || pot'yat k'ofōk'ōt |- | 2<sup>nd</sup> || Direct Knowledge || p'ot'yat k'ofōk'ōt |- | 3<sup>rd</sup> || Direct Knowledge || myatōt k'ofōk'ōt |- | Impersonal || Direct Knowledge || k'ofōk'ōt |} The inferential has the meaning of "seen by me/you/someone else" and reportative "according to what I/you/someone has heard". The direct knowledge evidential is used about any other evidence, including non-visual sensory. This evidential can also be used impersonally, which is marked by the absense of a pronoun. The impersonal direct knowledge can have the meaning "they say that..." without any clarifications of who "they" are, or it can have the meaning that something is supposed to be common knowledge, "anyone knows it". All second person evidentials are very seldomly used, and when they are, the pronoun is usually replaced by the name of the adressee in genitive case. = Lexicon = == San words == Some adjectives and some nouns ends with the suffix -(s)san or -(s)sen. In adjectives it's usually present because of word derivation, while in nouns it usually just doesn't have any specific meaning. But it is obligatory nonetheless. In various kinds of suffixation, the San words usually inflect slightly differently than other words. == Compounds == In endocentric compounds, the head is the last word of the compound. All but the last words in a compound have the following characteristics: *Verbs can only appear in non-final forms *Nouns sometimes carry a case that the final word in the compound calls for. But nouns in some compounds have the genitive case for no particular reason. *The suffix from [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#-san words|San words]] is deleted. *Some words have a special compound form, see [[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo#Derivation|Derivation]] below. == Derivation == {| class="wikitable" !

'''Nominal morphology''' is isolating and fairly minimal, marking only number (with prefixes) and possession (with an "antigenitive" enclitic, which attaches to the last word of the possessed noun phrase). '''Personal pronouns''' are fusionally marked for number and case (NOM/ACC/GEN); a peculiarity of the genitive pronouns (which historically derive from demonstratives) is that they agree in number only with the possessed, not with the possessor. Genitive pronouns do not co-occur with the antigenitive enclitic. They precede the noun in free-standing noun phrases, but follow it when the NP is part of a possessive or prepositional phrase. Prepositions, as the label indicates, precede their object. '''Adjectives''' inflect for case and number of their referent by means of fusional suffixes. They normally follow their head noun; however, deictic and predicate adjectives usually precede it. The main '''verbal distinctions''' of Ndok Aisô are aspect, mood, and voice, of which only aspect plays a minor role in this text. Tense is unmarked in the active voice. Verbs also agree with the subject in number, but not in person. The morphosyntactic alignment is technically a variant of split-S; however, the vast majority of verbs follows a NOM-ACC pattern, and the text contains only one instance of an "ergative verb", which (for simplicity) I've treated in the glossary as lexically requiring an accusative-marked subject. Coordinating '''conjunctions''' have special "object-gapping" forms, which indicate that the coordinated clauses have the same direct object (the latter can therefore be dropped from one of the two clauses). Identical subjects can be dropped from either clause even when normal conjunctions are used; clauses without an overt subject are assumed to have the same subject as the main clause of the previous sentence. The default '''word order''' in Ndok Aisô is SVO, but the parent language was verb-initial, and VSO order is preserved in several types of subclauses. Intransitive main clauses also often have VS order. == Links == [http://www.superlush.co.uk/~akana/index.php/Ndok_Aisô Ndok Aisô grammar] Conlang Relay 17/Feayran 7491 53112 2010-04-22T03:21:30Z Trailsend 1310 /* Grammar */ by David Edwards :[[Conlang Relay 17/Khangaþyagon|Previous: Khangaþyagon]] / [[Conlang Relay 17|Up: Relay 17 index]] / [[Conlang Relay 17/Rejistanian|Next: Rejistanian]] === The text === ==== Korhruktukákt ==== Ulkáuth elàeruholikuktuvá.

Tense is not marked. Prepositions can be used without a verb to form a sentence. Suffixing –su to a noun X forms a verb with the meaning “that which is done do using X.” Suffixing –ra to a noun X forms a verb meaning “that which is done which creates X.” The prefix za- on a verb makes the verbs dynamic, AKA it indicates a change into the state indicated by the root verb. The prefix vrvi- does the opposite, it marks a change out of the state indicated by the root verb. The suffix –ara on verbs indicates the habitual aspect, and all conjugated verbs end in a final –e. The suffix –ibri- marks the iterative aspect (also placed before –e). Prefixing ke- to a verb makes it active, and suffixing –(a)q- (before the final –e) marks the perfective aspect. The perfective aspect may be marked on prepositions as well. Two verbs may be joined with –i- to form a single, composite verb. The suffix –rad on nouns indicates a group of the noun. Hyphens at the beginning or end of a verb simply mean that the form listed in the lexicon does not, on its own, comply with karrev’s phonotactics Conlang Relay 17/Vozgian 7493 53117 2010-04-22T12:17:47Z IJzeren Jan 36 Created page with '== Relay text (in Latin and Cyrillic) == === KÖNUT POLAI === <big>Monž iðin kön imäch.

It is a highly synthetic language, mostly fusional but with agglutinative elements. Its grammar is rather complicated. I won't bother you with its (in)famous noun "declensions from hell", the numerous verbal classes, etc. I'll limit myself to the most elementary. Anyway, the text is short! :) Word order is rigidly SOV. Nouns are inflected for gender (masculine, feminine, neuter), number (singular, dual, plural), case (13 cases), and definiteness (definite, indefinite). The latter is mostly a matter of a postfixed article; all forms in the glossary are indefinite by default. The role of prepositions is usually played by cases, prefixes, postpositions or prepositions. Modifiers (adjectives, demonstrative pronouns, numerals and the like) are always placed after whatever they modify. In the glossary, all nouns are given in their basic form: the nominative singular (indefinite). In the text, you will encounter the following case endings: {| width="100%" | <u>nouns</u>: '''-ätum''': m.sg.def.loc.<br /> '''-je''': m.pl.def.nom.<br /> '''-ut''': m.sg.def.nom.<br /> '''-utü''': m.du.def.loc. | <u>verbs</u>: '''-ch''': imperfect tense, 3sg.<br /> '''-l''': perfect tense, 3sg.<br /> '''-li''': perfect tense, 3pl.<br /> '''-þe''': infinitive |} ''-- Jan van Steenbergen'' Conlang Relay 17/Iljena 7494 53118 2010-04-22T12:41:10Z PeteBleackley 179 Added iljena text ==Text== ===rkama hnaqa=== eljen ohneq. ulajna honq. hniqe lujon. lajoni. ihinqa. oplite uhneq. hanoqi. ljuna. ==Smooth English== ===The Bad Unicorn=== A Leyen had a unicorn.

The word order is used to bring closely related participants together, and to indicate the overall flow of the action between the participants. ==Vocabulary== ===Noun roots=== ;hnq: A mythical beast, which according to legend, can only be ridden by a powerful sorceror. ;ljn: Leyen, sentient crepuscular bipeds with vibrissae all over their bodies, from the fourth planet of the Delta Pavonis system. ;plt: 512 (the Leyen count in base 8), a great multitude. ;rkm: bad thing. ===Verb patterns=== (123 indicate consonant positions) ;12a3a: be ;12i3e: attack ;12u3a: die ;1o23: hold ;1a2o3i: run ;1u2o3: suffer ;e12e3: have ;i1i23a: scream ;o12e3: belong ;o12i3e: compose ;u12e3: come ;u1a23a: mount Conlang Relay 17/Khangaþyagon 7495 53119 2010-04-22T12:57:54Z PeteBleackley 179 Added Khangaþyagon text ==Text== ===glaf ukhrin=== halut modut dahiuf glaf u sulving yi rik. belut modut hrabvlantingar iður glafuz, beb rafking rik yi. halilðen omtapinguf rik glafol. miryaging glaf beb yetolwaning dahingufar glafar dirsar allbkannit glafart, beb kiratingar yir lormont. trinning glaf rik halutar damzutar. belbanut kharmlbanut anguding rik. ==Smooth English== ===The evil horse=== Once there was a horse that belonged to a man.

'' == Grammatical Notes == The basic word order in a neutral sentence is SVO but it actually depends on what is stressed (focus). All possibilities of the word order can occur in the language. The stressed part comes at the end of a sentence. This is possible because the language has cases and the basic meaning of a sentence does not change if the word order is changed. Nouns in Laefèvëši are declined for case gender and number. There are two declensions, masculine and feminine, each one expresses case and number through suffixes. Same applies for adjectives too. Laefèvëši has a large number of clitic forms which include verbs pronouns adjectives and adverbs. Clitics are connected to another word (host) by using a hyphen (-) and a clitic can be either a proclitic or an enclitic. More than one clitic can be connected with the host. Clitic and the host word are pronounced as one word where the primary stress carries the host and clitic(s) carry the secondary stress. When none of the words carries a primary stress the stress falls on the first syllable. Laefèvëši verbs are also conjugated for mood tense number person and gender. Personal pronouns are often omitted except when emphasised or to avoid ambiguity. Where a verb is expressed in two parts Laefèvëši has two ways for conjugating. If one of the verbs is a modal or a phase verb (phase verbs are 'to start' 'to continue' 'to finish') Laefèvëši will conjugate the semantic head and the auxiliary verb will be expressed by using the enclitic form of the modal or phase verb. If the two verbs are full lexical verbs (e. g. “to try to remember”) Laefèvëši will conjugate the first verb and leave the semantic head in the infinitive form. ''Note on verbs: Laefèvëši has a large verbal morphology and the described ways of expressing two parts verbs are not the only possibilities but are only the ways occurring in the text.

There's no agreement or morphological tense or number, or articles. The final suffix of a content word indicates its ''syntactical'' function, regardless of its ''lexical'' class. The final suffixes used in this text are: -a verbal transitive -e verbal intransitive -o nominal intransitive Verbal forms are used in primary predicates, secondary predicates, and for all adverbial elements, while nominal forms are used as syntactical nouns, noun modifiers, and action nominals. An action nominal construction is distinguished from an attributive one by having an explicit subject. Clauses are SVO in general, i.e. Subject followed by predicate and predicate being Verb followed by Object. A transitive form must be followed by an explicit object (with one exception not relevent here) while an intransitive form must not be, although there's often an implied object! The object of an auxiliary verb is just a predicate, rather than a whole nominal clause. All noun modifiers -- demonstratives, quantifiers, adjectives, genitives, and relative clauses -- precede the noun (which is not always a lexical noun). Each syntactical noun or noun modifier must have nominal form; for clauses, this is accomplished by adding the particle |no| at the end. For attributive possession, the particle |mo| (which may be considered the nominal form of |ma|) is added to the possessor. Aspect and some other things are indicated by prefixes (these are optionally set off using hyphens). The unmarked aspect of a dynamic verb is perfective, while that of a static verb is stative. Following a coordinating conjunction (e.g. "and", "or"), the subject of the clause may be omitted if the same as that of the previous clause. === Abbreviations === adv adverb etc. conj conjunction N noun (common) NP noun, proper post post-posed particle pref prefix prep preposed particle pron pronoun Q quantifier V verb (transitive, non-defective) VA verb, auxiliary VD verb, defective (and must take object) VI verb, intransitive === Vocabulary === {| |- | ant-a || V || occur before, until (+ phrase) |- | bi- || pref || (habitual aspect) |- | celv-o || N || deer |- | Celvett-o || NP || (means little deer) |- | da || VD || (copula of identity) |- | du-o || Q || two |- | duopodaz-e || VI || having two feet |- | el-e || VI || yon, yonder (remote spatial) |- | fa- || pref || (causative derivation; P VI becomes A V P) |- | fi- || pref || (inchoative derivation) |- | fidel-e || VI || trustworthy |- | gin-a || VA || begin |- | Human-o || NP || (means human) |- | i || conj || and (+ clause) |- | kapt-a || V || catch |- | klam-a || V || call, yell |- | kolp-o || N || body |- | koz-a || V || because of (+ phrase) |- | kurr-e || VI || run |- | lo || pron = || 3rd person obviative |- | ma || VD || have |- | mez-a || V || in the middle of (+ phrase) |- | mik-o || N || friend |- | mo || post || possessive, genitive |- | mold-a || V || bite |- | molest-a || V || bother |- | molt-e || VI || dead |- | mutc-o || Q || much, many |- | nam-a || V || named (the object is effectively quotative) |- | ne || prep || not |- | nee || adv || no, (contradicts positive) |- | no || post || makes clause attributive or nominal |- | pugn-a || V || fight (usually reciprocal) |- | rrapid-e || VI || rapid, fast, quick |- | sek-a || V || follow |- | sekole || adv || immediately after |- | tetropodaz-e || VI || having four feet |- | to || pron = || 3rd person proximative |- | tot-o || Q || all, whole, entire |- | vad-e || VI || go (away), depart |- | sof-e || VI || true |- | ven-e || VI || come (towards), arrive |- | zu- || pref || (progressive aspect) |} Conlang Relay 17/Kerno 7499 53146 2010-04-22T22:33:27Z Elemtilas 98 No badgers! ==Text== Llethió nr.

For more in depth explanation, see the<br> Grammar at http://bethisad.com/world/languages/talarian_grammar.htm There's also a lexicon there that contains most of the words for the exercise. ==Background== Talarian is an Aryo-Anatolian language spoken in the Eastlands of [[The World]]. It shares some<br> similarities with Hittite and Tocharian and has a rather conservative Puntic (pre-IE) lexicon.

Verbs frequently contain many derivational morphemes, some of which are shown above in the interlinear although the derived verb is given in the glossary as well. The verb paradigm is as follows: [ ADV ] [ NEG ] [ ABS ] [ ERG ] [ OBL [ OBL ...] ] TENSE verb-base ASPECT Verbs may form subordinate clauses in the following ways: * adverbial clauses: the adverbial clause marker -se is appended to a fully declined verb. Its arguments, if they are not clauses themselves, take on subordinate clause suffixes. Its tense is relative to the time frame of the main clause. In the main clause, an agreement morpheme is prefixed to the verb complex. * complement clauses: the complement clause marker -i is appended to a fully declined verb. Its arguments take on subordinate clause suffixes. Its tense is relative to the time frame of the main clause. In the main clause, the appropriate agreement for a third person singular neuter argument is used (usually null, as complement clauses are usually not agents). * relative clauses: the relative clause marker ne- is prefixed to a verb with core argument agreement, relative tense, aspect, and optional negation, but no oblique arguments or subordinate clause agreement markers. If an external head exists, the adjectival marker -u is appended. The position relativized is that of the absolutive argument. Additionally, a deverbal nominal form glossed as the gerund exists. It is an activity nominalization of the verb. It consists of an intransitive verb stem which may be negated but is not marked for tense, aspect or agreement, and a gerundive circumfix consisting of a prefix and suffix. Its original subject can appear as its possessor, so it is normally possessed. It does not pluralize and cannot take derivational affixes. Verbs may combine through conjunction if they share all arguments (and therefore also degree of transitivity) and tense. All but the final verb are marked for aspect and negation only, and the conjunctive ending -u appended. The final verb is an ordinary fully declined finite verb. Adverbial clause agreement markers on the main verb occupy one slot. If more than one adverbial clause is modifying the same main verb, only one of the associated agreement markers will appear. Adverbial clauses that in English might begin with "because" will cause the reason clause agreement marker v- to appear on the main clause verb, while adverbial clauses which in English might begin with "it being the case that" or even "despite, although" will cause the circumstantial clause agreement marker um- to appear on the main clause verb. Nouns and free pronouns show nominative/accusative alignment, in contrast with the absolutive/ergative alignment of verb agreement. Since the ergative and absolutive agreement markers on the verb are really incorporated pronouns, any standalone pronoun agreed with by such a marker will not appear. However, as absolutive third person pronouns are not marked on the verb, they do appear either in the accusative as objects of transitive verbs, or in the nominative (with null case ending) as subjects of intransitive verbs. Nouns with the oblique case ending have their role marked on the verb. In subordinate clauses nominative nouns take the subordinate nominative ending, and accusative and oblique nouns take the subordinate oblique ending. Nouns may be possessed. If this is the case, instead of their case ending they have a possessive suffix. They will be preceded by their possessor (unless it is a pronoun which has been subsumed by a verb agreement marker), on which their case will be marked. Agreement on the verb is with the possessor, but the actual argument is the possessed noun. Nouns in the same case and to which all the same arguments (adjectives, relative clauses, possessors) apply may form conjunction by all but the first noun having the conjunctive noun suffix -so instead of a possessive or case suffix. A small closed class of derivational suffixes to nouns encodes Mirexu's only native adjectives.

Tirelat has two kinds of intransitive verbs: stative and dynamic verbs. The usual word order is VS with stative verbs and SV with dynamic verbs. In general, modifiers such as adjectives and adverbs come before the word they modify. The main verb typically has a subject or object prefix, and one or more suffixes that are added in a specific order after the verb root. (In this text the only prefixes that occur are the third-person singular nominative jë- and third-person plural nominative vy-.) Suffixes indicate voice (e.g. passive, causative), mode (e.g. deontic, optative, imperative), evidential and tense (e.g. hearsay, opinion), negative, and aspect. For this text, the main thing to know about the evidentials is that the "inferential" past is more or less an unmarked past tense. Hearsay in this case is used to tell a story, and opinion relates the narrator's opinion of a character in the story. Nouns and noun phrases are introduced with an article which marks the case of the phrase. Tirelat has eight cases; the important ones for this text are the nominative (typically the subject of a verb), accusative (the direct object), locative, dative, and oblique. Dative often marks the recipient of an action: in this text, object of the verb "call, name" (the one being named). The oblique case is harder to pin down; it often marks the object of a locative preposition or an infinitive, but it has various other uses. In general, with verbs it adds a non-essential argument (with the word xinżi "cruel, harsh" it could be translated as "to"). Plurals are usually indicated with a plural form of the article, or a plural prefix on the verb, or both. Some plural suffixes are used on nouns in certain cases, but these are not used in this text; nouns may be plural without an explicit plural suffix. Suffixes are commonly used for word derivation. One common pattern that comes up in this text is the adjective + noun + -mi "having", where the -mi suffix has the same role as the –ed in English words like "long-tailed" or "short-eared": literally "having a long tail", "having short ears" in the Tirelat equivalents (sedriloxmi, piŕkivynmi).

As the Queen of Ivets became Empress of the Kasshi, the title was retained by their heirs. In the case of an heir being a minor (under the age of 25 [about 18 Earth years]; note 30 is used as the age of maturity for Empress/Emperor), an Acting Lady/Lord Mayor is appointed, typically the highest-ranked individual in the line of succession over the age of 25.

In 738, upon the birth of [[Chara Charakh|his niece]], the title of Queen/King of [[Ivets (Realm)|Ivets]] was separated out from the Imperial Crown and bestowed upon Kronan. The City of Ivets and surrounding territory was separated out from the Realm itself as a new City-State. The Realm's capital was moved to the nearby city of [[Matar]]. Mirroring the title of Lady/Lord [[Mayor of Ivets]], used by the Realm before the Empire, and subsequently the Empire, for the heir to the throne, King Kronan created the title of Lady/Lord Mayor of Matar for the heir to the Ivetsian throne.

They killed Human there. ==Relevant Grammar (Overview)== *Typological facts: word order = VSO; prepositional; NG; NA; NR. *A PP or adverb can be moved to the front of a clause, but otherwise word order is maintained. *Kamakawi is a pro-drop language. If the subject marker /ku/ or /ke/ is used, the subject may be omitted, as it can be retained from the previous clause. *Subject status markers let the hearer know if the subject of the new sentence (embedded or otherwise) is the same as the subject of the previous sentence. There are three possibilities: (1) It's identical; (2) it's from the previous clause, but isn't the previous clause's subject; (3) it's brand new (or more than a clause old). To mark these statuses, a particle is used which preposes the verb. The markers are as follows: (k)e = (1) (k)ae = (2) (k)a = (3) Certain discourse particles (words like "because" and "so that") are suffixed directly to these subject status markers. So if you had a sentence like Kale X Y, it'd mean "Because Y did X". *Adverbs occur sentence-finally, generally. Adverbs are sometimes used like modals in English. For example, if you say Ka mama eine i nawa (PAST hug woman PREP fish), it'd mean "The woman hugged a fish". If you say Ka mama eine i nawa tou (PAST hug woman PREP fish can), it'd mean "The woman could hug a fish". *Where a verb has 2 arguments, the preposition /i/ marks the less agent-like of the two. For this reason, it's used to cover a whole range of prepositional functions, including spatial and temporal. *Certain verbs take adverbial complements. They're listed in the lexicon as X...Y. For these verbs, any objects and subjects come in between the members X and Y. Otherwise, the two function as a single verb with a single meaning. *There's a particular construction in here that may cause confusion. In Kamakawi, you can't say anything like "I have an uncle" or "I have a boss" in the same way as you can with English (with a verb like "to have"). Instead, you use the following construction. Let's say you wanted to say "I have a fish". You'd say the following: A i nawa oi'i. /new.sbj. there.is fish GEN.-1sg./ "I have a fish" (lit. "There is a fish with me") The genitive preposition used depends on the nature of the relationship, but that's not something you should have to worry about for the relay. ==Lexicon== *ae (prep.) in (combines with verbs to form complex verbs) *ale...ko (v.) to arrive *Emi (n.) human being (here used as a name) *euku (v.) to capture, to trap *ewemia...ae (v.) to chase down *fa'u'u (n.) pit of a pitted fruit (a part of the phrase "ie fa'u'u o x", which means "in the middle of x") *fei (adv.) up (combines with verbs to make complex verbs) *he (v.) to begin, to start *huyaya (v.) to scream *i (prep.) marks direct objects; marks general locations and/or times *i (v.) to exist (equiv. to English "there is/are") *ie (contr.) contraction of /i/ and /e/ *imata (n.) truth (a part of the phrase "ti imata", which means "in truth", or "truthfully") *io (conj.) but *iti (adv.) fast *ka (part.) marks past tense, and that the subject of the sentence is new or different *kapalele (expr.) and thus, as a result of that *kau (part.) marks past tense, and that the subject of the sentence is new or different and plural *kaupe (contr.) contraction of *kau and *-pe *ke (part.) marks past tense, and that the subject of the sentence is the same as the last sentence and singular *ko (adv.) here (can combine with verbs to create complex verbs) *kou (pron.) 3sg. pronoun that has no reference (a generic pronoun like "one") *ku (part.) marks past tense, and that the subject of the sentence is the same as the last sentence and plural *kupe (contr.) contraction of *ku and *-pe *meneivene (n.) deer *Meneivenei (n.) little deer (here used as a name) *nanai (n.) friend *nea (pron.) he (third person singular masculine pronoun) *nemilele (v.) to kill *ni'u...heva (v.) to bite all up, to bite all over *nowoku (adj.) bad, evil *o (prep.) marks the genitive (X o Y = "X of Y") *oi- (pref.) marks the genitive (X oi-Y = "X of Y") *pe (adv.) at that place, there *-pe (suf.) and then (attaches to subject status markers) *polinu (n.) quadruped *pote (v.) to fight; (n.) fighting, fight *talima (n.) biped *ti (prep.) with (instrumental); marks oblique phrases; by, because of *tomi (v.) to name, to call (object takes *ti) *tomi'u (v.) passive of *tomi *tovukale...fei (v.) to annoy *u (part.) the (definite article, plu.; attaches to prepositions); (part.) marks present tense, and that the subject of the sentence is identical to the subject of the previous sentence and plural *u (prep.) plural marker ==Glossary== 1 = first person 3 = third person A = adjective adj. = adjective adv. = adverb conj. = conjunction contr. = contraction dem. = demonstrative G = genitival phrase GEN. = genitive N = noun n. = noun nm. = name O = object P = preposition part. = particle (generally freestanding) PP = prepositional phrase pref. = prefix prep. = preposition pron. = pronoun R = relative clause S = subject sbj. = subject sg. = singular suf. = suffix V = verb v. = verb that can be transitive or intransitive vi. = intransitive verb vt. = transitive verb Oealu 7512 53253 2010-04-26T20:09:40Z LeboKunda 1388 '''Oealu''' {{IPA|oʊ.i'a.lu}} is a constructed international auxiliary language created by American linguist Cameron White in 2010. His goal being to merge the Hawaiian and Baltic-Finnic phonological systems with the grammar of the greater Uralic and Japanese languages. == Linguistic properties == === Classification === As a constructed language, Oealu is not genealogically related to any ethnic language group. However, it does posses a great number of grammatical cases for which the Uralic language family is known. Typologically, Oealu has few prepositions and a strict word order of ''subject-verb-object.'' Adjectives are placed before or after the nouns they modify, connected by the particle "no", a feature of |Japanese. == Orthography == Oealu is written with a modified version of the Latin alphabet, including six letters with diacritics: å, ǩ, ļ, ƶ, and ǯ.The alphabet does not include the letters ''b, c, f, g, q, w, x'' or ''z''. The 28-letter alphabet is: <big><center>'''Aa Åå Dd Ee Hh Ii Jj Kk Ǩǩ Ll Ļļ Mm Nn Oo Pp Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Yy Ƶƶ Ʒʒ Ǯǯ'''</center></big> All letters are pronounced as in the IPA, with the exception of the letters with diacritics: {| class="wikitable" style="margin: 0 auto; text-align:center;" ! Letter ! å ! ǩ ! ļ ! ƶ ! ǯ |- ! Pronunciation | {{IPA|ɔ}} | {{IPA|k<sup>j}} | {{IPA|ʎ}} | {{IPA|ʑ}} | {{IPA|dʒ}} |} == Phonology == Oealu has 17 consonants and 6 vowels that can combine to form 9 diphthongs. Tone is not used to distinguish meanings of words. Stress falls on the penultimate vowel in 3-or-more-syllabled words and on the first syllable for disyllabic words. For example, ''jauva'' "family" is {{IPA|['jau.va]}}, with the stress on the ''au,'' but ''jadouʒa'' "dog" is {{IPA|[ja'dou.ʒa]}}. === Consonants === The 22 consonants are: {| class="wikitable" style="margin: 0 auto;" |- ! ! colspan="2" | Bilabial ! colspan="2" | Labio-dental ! colspan="2" | Alveolar ! colspan="2" | Post-alveolar ! colspan="2" | Palatal ! colspan="2" | Velar ! colspan="2" | Glottal |- align="center" ! align="left" | Nasal | colspan="2" |{{IPA|m}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" |{{IPA|n}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! align="left" | [Plosive | colspan="2" | {{IPA|p}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | {{IPA|k k<sup>j</sup>}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! align="left" | Affricate | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | {{IPA|dʒ}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; |- align="center" ! align="left" | Fricative | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | {{IPA|v}} | oolspan="2" | {{IPA|s}} | colspan="2" | {{IPA|ʒ}} | colspan="2" | {{IPA|ʑ}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | {{IPA|h}} || &nbsp; |- align="center" ! align="left" | Trill | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | {{IPA|r}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; |-align="center" ! align="left" | Approximant | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" |{{IPA|l}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | {{IPA|ʎ}} {{IPA|j}} | colspan="2" | &nbsp; | colspan="2" | &nbsp; |} Consonant clusters of quantities of up to two can occur, such as in ''jårvi'' "you eat" or ''koiski'' "two". Final clusters, however, are not permitted (English cent, board, sips). === Vowels === Oealu has the five cardinal vowels found in such languages as Japanese, Zulu, and Spanish plus the close front rounded vowel and open-mid back rounded vowel found in northern European languages such as Swedish and Danish: {| class="wikitable" style="margin: 0 auto; text-align:center;" ! ! | Front ! | Back |- ! style="text-align: right;" | Close | {{IPA|i}} {{IPA|y}} | {{IPA|u}} |- ! style="text-align: right;" | Mid | {{IPA|e}} | {{IPA|o}} |- ! style="text-align: right;" | Open | {{IPA|ɔ}} | {{IPA|a}} |} There are also nine diphthongs, {{IPA|[ai]}}, {{IPA|[au]}}, {{IPA|[ɔi]}},{{IPA|[ɔu]}}, {{IPA|[ei]}}, {{IPA|[oi]}} {{IPA|[ou]}}, {{IPA|[uo]}}, and {{IPA|[yo]}} which are written respectively as ''ai, au, åi, åu, ei, oi, ou, uo, yo ''. == Grammar == ===Nouns=== Oealu nouns decline for 13 singular and plural cases although some may argue that the actual number is 12 because the Allative an Illative cases decline the same way. The case endings are borrowed from Finnish and Hawaiian. {| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="15" |- ! colspan=15 style="background:#cfcfcf;" | Declension of nouns |- ! colspan=1 style="background:#efefef;" | ! colspan=14 style="background:#efefef;" | Case |- !

Conjugations by person can be observed in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Singular ! Plural |- | -o | -u |- | colspan="2" | -i |- | -a | -an |} Oealu has 6 tenses, present, present perfect, past, past perfect, future, and future perfect. To conjugate with these tenses, simply add the following suffixes for the 6 tenses to the prsonal ending, respectively: "''- , -ma, -ǯa, -na, -lka, and -da''". Verbs can be made passive by placing the word ''Syla'' before the verb, or negative by placing ''Nyt'' before it. So, in full conjugation, ''marahei'' "to see" would become ''Syla nyt marahada'' "He will not have seen". ===Personal pronouns=== Oealu pronouns inflect for case.

That particle is "no" for positive adjectives, "ǩa" for comparative, and "lo" for superlative. Adverbs can be made by joining the corresponding adjective with one of the above particles before the verb. ===Interrogative Pronouns=== The seven Oealu interrogative pronouns are as follows. {| class="wikitable" |- ! English ! Oealu |- | Who? | Koi? |- | What? | Kau? |- | Where? | Kåina? |- | When? | Kuo? |- | Why? | Kaʒ |- | How? | Kaǯ? |- | How Many? | Kei? |} == Useful phrases == {| class="wikitable" !English || Oealu |- |Hello || Alua |- |Yes || Ƶa |- |No || Nou |- |Good morning || Eiki no uomoka |- |Good evening || Eiki no pauva |- |Good night || Eiki no jausa |- |Goodbye || Alua Oi |- |What is your name? || Kau ola tuova sasa? |- |My name is John || Tuova pasa ola Jono |- |How are you? || Kaǯ oli? |- |Do you speak Oealu? || Syovi Oialu? |- |I don't understand you || Nyt ǯuoko så |- |All right/Ok || Eiki |- |Thank you || Teinu |- |You're welcome || Oli voiri |- |Please? || Maļuo? |- |Gesundheit! || Jesas! |- |Congratulations || Savarpuo |- |I love you || Ƶudo så |- |One beer, please || Ykasi no bira, maļuo |- |What is that? || Kau kas ola? |- |That is a dog || Kas ola piǩaha |- |Peace! || Malauna! |} ==Numerals== The Oealu number system is based on that of the Baltic-Finnic group of languages. So there is a suffix for the equivalent of the English "''-teen''".This table shows the other similarities also occur. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Numeral ! English ! Oealu ! Finnish !

Similarly, each noun is given in the patientive singular, along with the noun’s inflectible stem. The part of speech is noted throughout: abbreviations which might not be immediately transparent are ''an. com.'' and ''in.'', denoting a noun’s gender: these stand for ''animate, common'' and ''inanimate'' respectively. {| {{table}} | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Sχáskari''' | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''POS''' | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Gloss''' |- | ·da ||[rel.]|| relative complementiser |- | ·tav, ·va ||[det.]|| the |- | am ||[neg.]|| negative particle |- | ar ||[pp.]|| because of |- | árdan ||[conj.]|| because |- | aχtá ||[conj.]|| and |- | aχtáv, aχtáva- ||[n, com.]|| dominion, control |- | aχtávas ||[conj.]|| although |- | dahnánaṡ, dahnándas ||[vi.]|| to approach |- | dand, dándu- ||[n. an.]|| man |- | daṡaṡ, daṡnás ||[vi.]|| to bark |- | douċ, dóuċa- ||[n. com.]|| bark |- | évag ||[rel.]|| when |- | ɣa ||[pp.]|| onto |- | ha, hażán ||[pron.]|| third person singular pronoun (genitive żáni) |- | hadaṡ, haznas ||[vt.]|| to decide to do |- | hain, hánya- ||[adj.]|| loud |- | ispratáṡ, isprastás ||[vt.]|| to feed |- | jasváṡaṡ, jasváṡtas ||[vt.]|| to attack |- | kávan, kávna- ||[n. an.]|| animal |- | khaláṡ, khaltás ||[vt.]|| chase |- | maċánaṡ, maċántas ||[vt.]|| to scare, to tease |- | máltaṡ, málstas ||[vi.]|| to flee, to run away |- | matá, matá- ||[n. com.]|| fear |- | mażáṡ, mażnás ||[vt.]|| to eat |- | médum, médumi- ||[n. in.]|| mountain |- | muid, mudya- ||[adj.]|| high |- | na ||[pp.]|| towards, to |- | nam, náma- ||[n.]|| comm. back (body part) |- | navéd ||[conj.]|| however |- | pals, pálsa- ||[adj.]|| white |- | phalbáṡaṡ, phalbáṡtas ||[vt.]|| to throw |- | pratáṡ, prastás ||[vt.]|| to give |- | rádvan, rádvana- ||[n. an.]|| everybody |- | rahr, rahra- ||[adj.]|| violent |- | saṡká, saṡká- ||[n. an.]|| lynx |- | satáṡ, saθnás ||[vt.]|| to know |- | saχámaṡ, saχántas ||[vi.]|| to return |- | spováṡ, spohtás ||[vt.]|| to shake |- | thagáṡ, thaχtás ||[vt.]|| to want |- | trúsaṡ, trústas ||[vi.]|| to happen, to occur |- | vráθkar, vráθkar- ||[n. an.]|| archer |- | żáldum, żálduma- ||[n. in.]|| earth, world |- | żazrá, żazrá- ||[adj.]|| young |} == Grammar notes == Sχáskari is a resolutely head-final language, exhibiting SOV word-order, postpositions rather than prepositions and adjectives and genitives before their nouns. In terms of morphosyntactic alignment, the language is an active language of the fluid-S subtype: as such the sole argument of an intransitive verb can be marked like either the patient or agent of a transitive verb, depending on whether the subject exerts control over the action or not. This doesn’t really come into play in this passage, although it should be noted that this does effect gapping: where two clauses are coordinated, with identical subjects and objects in both, it is the object (the patientive argument) which can be omitted. In a phrase like “he shot it and he killed it”, English can omit the second “he”, while Sχáskari would omit the second “it”. === Nouns === Nouns are straightforwardly divided into three genders (animate, common and inanimate) which can effect agreement with other parts of speech. In this passage, we have examples of two out of the three numbers, and examples of all five cases. * '''Patientive''': used to mark the most patient-like argument of a transitive verb. The singular is the citation form of the noun, marked by no particular ending. The other cases and the patientive plural are marked by applying endings to an inflectible stem: as the derivation of this from the citation form is not always straightforward, the inflectible stem for each noun has been given in the wordlist. The plural patientive of animate and common nouns is formed by applying -''i'' to the inflectible stem (dispacing any final vowel) while that of inanimate nouns is formed by applying -''ya'' to the same. * '''Agentive''': used to mark the most agent-like argument of a transitive verb. In the singular marked by applying -''n'' to the inflectible stem, and in the plural by applying -''t''. * '''Genitive''': used to denote that a noun qualifies another noun, either with the sense of possession or possibly a somewhat looser association. Aside from the genitive of the 3rd person singular pronoun ''żáni'', we only have a genitive plural in this sample: it is formed by applying -''ti'' to the inflectible stem. * '''Dative''': used to denote the indirect object. The only example we have is a dative plural: formed by means of adding -''st'' to the inflectible stem. * '''Postpositional''': used to mark complements of postpositions. In the singular, formed by applying -''s'' to the inflectible stem, while in the plural the -''s'' is added to the patientive form. === Determiners === The only determiners present in this sample are are the definite articles, which are clitics suffixed to the noun. Animate and common nouns use ''·tav'', while inanimate nouns use ''·av''. === Adjectives === Adjectives do not agree with their nouns in case or number. Adjectives qualifying animate nouns add -''v'' to their inflectible stems. Adjectives used appositively rather than predicately suffix -''i'' to their stems (in adjectives qualifying animate nouns, this suffix is applied after the animate marker -''v''): this attributive inflection causes the final -''a'' of an inflectible stem to raise to -''e''. === Verbs === Verbs in Sχáskari are somewhat tricky. In normal speech, like the register in which stories of this sort are written, lexical verbs are generally not inflected synthetically for tense: instead, tense and aspect are conveyed by means of periphrastic constructions: *The imperfective or durative aspect is marked by means of a periphrasis using the existential verb ''ad''- and the present participle. *The perfect aspect of transitive verbs is marked by the verb ''dan''- “to do”, and the past participle. *The perfect aspect of intransitive verbs is marked by the existential verb ''ad''- and the past participle. As the inflection of the two auxiliary verbs is hopelessly irregular, it would be unfair and somewhat pointless to offer full paradigms of regular verbs and ask you to work it out from there. Instead, I’ll give the tensed forms for the two verbs and the copula, which is also used in this passage, and the number markers: Existential verb: ''ad''- {| {{table}} | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"| | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''indicative''' | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''subjunctive''' |- | Present||adá-||adí-

The plural marker for both genders is -''r''. The singular marker used with animate and common nouns is -''s'', which is only used in the past tense. The singular marker used with inanimate nouns is -''m''. The formation of the two participles is also rather irregular, so in the wordlist both the present and past participles are given. === The complementiser === Subordinate and relative clauses are marked off from their matrix clauses by being introduced by the complementiser ''·da''. This is a clitic and cannot stand in clause-initial position: as a result it is cliticised to the right of the first lexical word in the clause.

These represent the same letter (/ʃ/). * Acute and grave accents denote primary and (in compounds) secondary stress, respectively. Vowels with acute or grave accents are not fundamentally different from the plain vowels, since the stress can shift when words are combined into compound words. * There is no copula "to be"; it is implied when a noun or adjective is used as predicate directly. * The tense is normally not repeated every sentence, but understood from context where possible. * There are two cases used in this text: nominative and accusative. The cases are marked on the article. * There is no indefinite article in the nominative. The absence of an article in the nominative indicates indefiniteness. * All prepositions govern the nominative. * The plural forms of nouns are formed by replacing the vowel in the last syllable with 'i' (this need not be a final vowel). * Adjectives precede the nouns, but can also occur standalone (e.g. the big [one]). Cardinal numerals follow the nouns they belong to. * In compound words, the first part is the modifying part: a predicate A-B is a B of type A. * There are many conjunctions, nearly all of which express that one constituent of the first sentence is identical to one constituent in the second sentence. The constituent may be left out from one of the sentences. If one of the constituents is a prepositional object, then the conjunction is a compound with the preposition. Example: He is underway in-'''''zóres''''' I have faith. Translation: I have faith in '''''the fact that''''' he is underway. === Lexicon === {| |acáw |(v) |chase someone |- |áduxo |(n) |death |- |be |(conj) |(links a subject (left) to a subject (right); see notes) |- |bru |(poss.pron) |his, her |- |búhu |(adj) |afraid |- |calásso |(n) |kind of feline predator |- |cas |(pron) |someone |- |códdi |(v) |decide something |- |cráci |(adj) |violent |- | -day |(suffix) |(initiative aspect: starts/begins doing) |- |dríru |(v) |shake something |- |f- |(proclitic) |(see fh) |- |fa |(pron) |he/she |- |félo |(conj) |(links a direct object (left) to a subject (right); see notes) |- |fésni |(v) |eat something/someone |- |fh /f?/ |(art) |the (concept/idea/mass/uncountable, accusative) |- |fol- |(prefix) |(verb to noun) the act of ..

''' Once upon a time, man fed the lion. Although the lion was violent, man was not afraid of the animal because only mighty men reigned the lion, and everyone knew it. One time, a man decided to scare his lion, but the lion wanted to go back to the wilderness. The lion threw the man off his back and started to fight with him. The man was afraid and did not know what was happening, therefore he fled. The lion roared intensely. The roaring caused the mountains to shake and drew many more lions. The lions chased the man to death and ate him.

During the fighting, Little Deer screamed and a thousand and half little deer quickly came there. Then, they chased after Person. They caught him and bit him numerous times. They killed Person there. ==Translation Notes (from Rejistanian to Skerre)== The use of the diminutive on 'deer' was suggested by the translation of Rejistanian ''vudux'' as 'pudú', a small deer species. The use of the diminutive could be interpreted as treating the deer as an endearing, sympathetic character, but given what actually happens in the story, the pure size-related interpretation is probably more reasonable. The Skerre translator took the part of the Rejistanian sentence dealing with the stomach quite metaphorically, taking this to be more about hidden emotions rather than anything literal (this was suggested by the Mechthild's notes, but taken to a greater extreme in the translation). The Skerre translator thought that a scream seemed more reasonable for calling an army than a mere shout. The Skerre have no higher order numbers, so the original 1,728 was converted in this expression that literally means 'a myriad and more'. That's still a lot of deer. Several phrases were added by the Skerre translator to ensure a comprehensible story. ==Grammatical Notes== ===Morphological Constructions=== {| |Redup[CV:] + N-stem ||'Ns'||(plural) |- |wa-/wat- + N-stem ||'have N'||(verbalizer) |- | N-stem + -ir      ||'N-ette, N-let' ||(diminutive) |- |N1-stem + N2-stem  ||-----||(compound noun) |} *The one compound noun here is a bahuvrihi compound, so it means something like 'having the property of the application of N2 to N1' {| |si + V-stem ||'Ving, Vation'||('action' nominalizer) |- | V-stem + -(i)n||VFIN||(finite verb) |} *If the vowel in the syllable preceding the affix would otherwise be long, it appears in this context as short *Without a TAM prefix, the VFIN form has a stative aspectual interpretation *Without a person-marking suffix, the VFIN form is interpreted as having a 3SG subject {| | es- + VFIN||'Ved'||(perfective aspect) |- |ka- + VFIN||'be Ving'||(progressive aspect) |- |VFIN + -as||'V him/her'||(3SG.OBJ) |- |ADV/VFIN  + -ti||'they V'||(3PL.SUBJ) |} ===Syntax=== * Head-initial: heads precede both their arguments and their modifiers * In a clause, the subject marking is found suffixed to either the clause-initial verb or to the first of any number of adverbials preceding the first verb of the clause * The 'with' preposition is used as a coordinator with nominal phrases * Skerre has ergative alignment with "full NPs", but accusative alignment with pronominal affixes * Skerre verbs are known for their "quirky" case assignment. There is some "quirkiness" here, so you might find that a Skerre preposition seems superfluous (from the standpoint of the English translation) or should be translated in a way that appears to contradict the vocabulary list gloss. * See my website at http://skerre.conlang.org/skerre/skerremain.html for an additional and/or supplementary.

unused. Each of them is pronounced as their respective IPA equivalents with four exceptions. The exceptions are '''c''', which is pronounced as a [[Wikipedia:Voiceless_postalveolar_fricative|voiceless postalveolar fricative]], '''j''', which is pronounced as a [[Wikipedia:Voiced_postalveolar_fricative|voiced postalveolar fricative]], '''u''', which is pronounced as a [[Wikipedia:Voiced_labio-velar_approximant|voiced labiovelar approximant]] when followed by another vowel and , '''y''', which is pronounced as a [[Wikipedia:Palatal_approximant|palatal approximant]]. Occasionally, an apostrophe is used to indicate a [[Wikipedia:Glottal_stop|glottal stop]]. == Articles == *There is no indefinite article [English ''a, an'']; there is only a definite article '''al''', alike for all genders, cases and numbers [English ''the'']. *EXAMPLE :'''ketab''' = book, a book :'''al ketab''' = the book == Nouns == === plural === *To form the plural, add the ending '''-t''', or '''-at''' to words ending in a consonant. If the last consonant in word is an [[Wikipedia:Alveolar_plosive|alveolar plosive]], then the endings '''-m''', or '''-em''' respectively === cases === *There are three cases: nominative, accusative and genitive. *EXAMPLE :'''Al hunda jodabi al ulademin kucayon.''' ::''DEF.ART dog.NOM chase.PAST.3SG DEF.ART boy.PL.ACC house.GEN'' :::The dog chased the boys of the house. *Endings: :Nominative: '''Ø''' | '''Ø''' ::for the purposes of freeing up word order, the nominative endings '''an''' and '''yan''' may be used. :Accusative: '''in''' | '''yin''' :Genitive: '''on''' | '''yon''' == Adjectives == Adjectives follow the noun they modify and do not inflect for case or number. The comparative is made with the word '''yoc''' [English ''more''], the superlative with '''gun''' [English ''most'']; for the comparative the conjunction '''ke''' [English ''than''] is used. *EXAMPLES: :*'''Al hunda cakra jodi al muratin asud''' :::The brown dog is chasing the black cats. :*'''Al hunda ilha yoc cito ke al muratin asud''' :::The brown dog is larger than the black cats. :*'''Ama, al anaca ilha al gun cito o kul.''' :::But the human being is the largest of all. == Numerals == The basic numerals (not declined) are: *'''ua''' - one *'''ni''' - two *'''uc''' - three *'''yon''' - four *'''go''' - five *'''ca''' - six *'''seb''' - seven *'''ota''' - eight *'''nen''' - nine *'''da''' - ten *'''sad''' - hundred *'''hezra''' - thousand -- *Tens and hundreds are formed by simple juxtaposition of the numerals. *To show ordinal numbers we add '''-ma''' or '''-ema''' to numbers ending in a consonant; for multiples, the suffix '''–yoc''' or '''-eyoc'''; for fractions [actually, reciprocals], '''-ten''' or '''-eten'''; for collectives, '''-ku''' or '''-eku'''; for divisionals. EXAMPLES: *'''Hezra nensad nenda-go.''' = 1995. *'''Al oza goma.''' = The fifth throne. *'''Kusra niyoc.''' = A double error. *'''Yoneten uc'''. = Three quarters. *'''Niku'''. = A pair. *'''Verabu hum na emla uc.''' = I gave them three apples each. == Pronouns == {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !!

Calculator Ftvb 1373 絵文字 7955 53759 2010-04-27T23:08:47Z Calculator Ftvb 1373 improving a bit Emoji (Japanese: 絵文字) is the [[Japanese language|Japanese]] term for the picture characters or [[emoticon]]s used in Japanese wireless messages and webpages. Originally meaning [[pictograph]], the word literally means [[wiktionary:絵|e]] "picture" + [[wiktionary:文字|moji]] "letter". The characters are used much like [[emoticon]]s elsewhere, but a wider range is provided, and the icons are standardized and built into the handsets. Some emoji are very specific to Japanese culture, such as a bowing (apologizing) businessman, a face wearing a [[Surgical mask|face mask]] or a group of emoji representing popular foods ([[ramen]] noodles, [[dango]], [[onigiri]], [[Japanese curry]], [[sushi]]). The three main Japanese operators, [[NTT DoCoMo]], [[au (mobile phone operator)|au]] and [[SoftBank Mobile]] (formerly [[Vodafone]]), have each defined their own variants of emoji. [[File:絵文字sample.png]] Although typically only available in Japan, due to the nature of software development, the characters and code in order to use emoji is often physically present in phones, and some phones, including the [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[iPhone]], allow access to the symbols outside Japanese carriers. They have also started appearing in emailing services such as [[Gmail]] (accessed via [[Google Labs]]). ===Encoding Of Emoji=== For [[NTT DoCoMo]]'s [[i-mode]], each emoji symbol is drawn on a 12x12 [[pixel]] grid. When transmitted, emoji symbols are specified as a two-[[byte]] sequence, in the private-use range E63E through E757 in the [[Unicode]] character space, or F89F through F9FC for [[Shift-JIS]]. The basic specification has 176 symbols, with 76 more added in phones that support [[C-HTML]] 4.0. au's emoji pictograms are specified using the [[HTML element#Images and Objects|IMG tag]]. SoftBank Mobile emojis are wrapped between [[Shift Out and Shift In characters|SI/SO escape sequences]], and support colors and animation. DoCoMo's emoji are the most compact to transmit while au's version is more flexible based on open standards. There exist two proposals for encoding the Emoji in [[Unicode]] and [[ISO/IEC 10646]], calling for adding characters to the standards to be able to represent the full set. One is by [[Google]] and [[Apple Inc.]], calling for adding 674 characters to the standards to be able to represent the full set.<ref>http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3582.pdf</ref><ref>http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3583.pdf</ref><ref>http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3585.pdf</ref> A revision and extension of this proposal is provided as a joint proposal by the German ([[DIN]]) and Irish national bodies.<ref>http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3607.pdf</ref> ==See also== * [[絵文字 Conlang]] ==References== <references/> == External links == * [http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/service/imode/make/content/pictograph/ NTT DoCoMo: Emoji] * [http://www.au.kddi.com/ezfactory/tec/spec/3.html au by KDDI: Emoji], [http://www.au.kddi.com/ezfactory/tec/spec/icon_mono.html Type 1] * [http://www.au.kddi.com/ezfactory/tec/spec/icon_color.html 2] (in Japanese) * [http://surf-style.us/manual3.htm Comparison table across all three companies] (in Japanese) * [http://whatjapanthinks.com/2007/07/12/japanese-cell-phone-emoji-graphical-icon-usage/ Translated survey on emoji usage patterns] * [http://sites.google.com/site/unicodesymbols/Home/emoji-symbols Emoji Symbols] - The proposals for encoding of Emoji symbols as Unicode characters.

It is now available on a wiki basis; changes made to the wiki version may be used in future versions, so any wikiadditions should be in the public domain if you want me to use them (I'll assume they are unless you tell me otherwise). Version 1.1. 17338747 characters in 291 categories (4588 more than [http://site.futuramerlin.com/4437.html the previous version]) are currently listed (though some may be incomplete/have typos/be duplicates/have some other dorky error). It is derived from what would have been version 1.9 (or maybe 2.0, depending on what I decided) of my Character Encoding (derived from many standards and lists, most notably the [http://www.unicode.org/ Unicode] standard), which has been abandoned (but may be resurrected in the future). If you find mistakes or want new character(s) listed, please [mailto:info@futuramerlin.com e-mail me] (please do so!). This version finished and published 20 January, 2010, C. E.. ==Wiki Version!

[[Proto-Kunnu-lūjungo]] Linen book 8186 54283 2010-05-25T20:07:16Z WeepingElf 43 /* Elvish linen books */ A '''linen book''' is a book whose pages consist of linen cloth, rather than paper, parchment or papyrus. ==Elvish linen books== Linen was a writing material commonly used by the ancient [[British Elves]], and more than 50 linen books written in [[Old Albic]] have survived to the present day. The most important find of linen books is the [[Tresco Library]], which was discovered on Tresco, one of the Isles of Scilly, in 1917 (now in the Glastonbury university library). The Elvish linen books are usually written with a reed pen, but captions, initials and other embellishments are often embroidered on the linen. Many Elvish linen books are very lavishly decorated with drawings, paintings and embroiderings. ==The Etruscan ''Liber Linteus''== The longest known [[Wikipedia:Etruscan language|Etruscan]] text is also a linen book, the ''[[Wikipedia:Liber Linteus|Liber Linteus]]''. The text is not fully understood, but it is assumed that the book was a ritual calendar. The book later wound up in Egypt, where it was taken apart and used as a mummy wrapping. It is now kept at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, Croatia. No other Etruscan linen books are currently known. [[Category:Albic]] [[Category:LLL]] Tresco Library 8187 54262 2010-05-23T12:25:35Z WeepingElf 43 /* Contents */ The '''Tresco Libary''' is the most important collection of [[Old Albic]] texts currently known. It was found on [[Wikipedia:Tresco|Tresco]] (one of the [[Wikipedia:Isles of Scilly|Isles of Scilly]]) and consists of 32 [[linen book]]s. The codices are now kept at the library of Glastonbury University. ==Discovery== In 1917, construction workers found two lead crates in an old basement vault on Tresco. The crates were transferred to the [[Wikipedia:Royal Cornwall Museum|Royal Cornwall Museum]] at Truro, where they remained unopened until 1922. When the crates were opened, they revealed 32 linen codices written in Old Albic, and linguists at Glastonbury University were contacted in order to edit and translate the findings. The texts were published in 1925. ==Contents== The Tresco Library texts make up about half the known corpus of Old Albic texts. They contain, among others, a grammar of Old Albic, a collection of folk tales and songs, the [[Brazen Law]], and the so-called [[Gospel of Joseph of Arimathea]]. [[Category:Albic]] [[Category:LLL]] Gospel of Joseph of Arimathea 8188 54265 2010-05-23T17:02:39Z WeepingElf 43 The '''Gospel of Joseph of Arimathea''' is an apocryphal gospel written in a form of [[Middle Albic]], preserved in a [[linen book]] found in the [[Tresco Library]]. The text was allegedly composed by [[Wikipedia:Joseph of Arimathea|Joseph of Arimathea]] at Glastonbury and relates the life and teachings of [[Wikipedia:Jesus of Nazareth|Jesus of Nazareth]] up to the crucifixion. It largely agrees with the canonical gospels of the New Testament, though certain elements of Christian faith, such as the virgin birth, are absent, and Jesus is not refered to as "son of God" but as a "prophet". [[Category:Albic]] [[Category:LLL]] Gospel of Joseph of Arimathia 8189 54260 2010-05-23T12:24:13Z WeepingElf 43 moved [[Gospel of Joseph of Arimathia]] to [[Gospel of Joseph of Arimathea]] #REDIRECT [[Gospel of Joseph of Arimathea]] Brazen Law 8190 54264 2010-05-23T12:37:52Z WeepingElf 43 The '''Brazen Law''' is the constitution of the [[Commonwealth of the Elves]]. The Law was originally engraved in a gold-plated bronze stele at Attambara, the capital of the Commonwealth; this stele is not preserved, but the text of the Brazen Law has been found in the [[Tresco Library]]. The Brazen Law, enacted in 671 BC, served to "end war and tyranny among the [[British Elves|Elves]]" and established the political structure known as the Commonwealth of the Elves. The Law states that in order to fulfill their divine purpose of "preserving and enriching the world by creating new and beautiful things", people ought to live in freedom, and the purpose of the laws of society was to guarantee the freedom of all people. The Brazen Law is the oldest written democratic constitution known; it is almost a century older than the [[Wikipedia:Solonian Constitution|Solonian constitution]] of Athens, and unlike the latter, which recognized four different classes of free people with different political rights as well as slavery, it is an actual egalitarian democratic constitution granting equal rights to all adult Elves, male or female. [[Category:Albic]] [[Category:LLL]] Middle Albic 8191 57796 2010-11-19T21:28:14Z WeepingElf 43 '''Middle Albic''' is a term for an intermediate stage of the [[Albic]] languages between [[Old Albic]] and the modern Albic languages. Middle Albic spans the time between the [[Tartessian War]] (529 BC), which is considered the end of the Old Albic period, and the 6th century AD. There is no single standard Middle Albic language, and few documents survive from this period. One extensive Middle Albic document is known, though: the [[Gospel of Joseph of Arimathea]], which was found in the [[Tresco Library]]. The language of this gospel is an intermediate between Old Albic and the [[Low Elvish]] languages. Compared with Old Albic, Middle Albic has undergone several simplifications. In the language of the gospel, unstressed penultimate vowels have been lost (thereby leading to a language with consistent penultimate stress) and consonant clusters (including those resulting from the vowel loss) have been simplified. Lenitions of intervocalic stops have become phonemic; as these also operated across word boundaries in certain contexts, this change resulted in initial mutations. The number of noun cases has been reduced from ten to five, and the dual is lost as a category. In the verb, the objective personal suffixes have been lost and replaced by prefixes. Despite these changes, the language still resembles Old Albic more than the modern languages as the final syllables and thus the inflectional endings have not yet been reduced.

The horse struggled a lot and made a lot of noise. This gave the horse the strength of a hundred horses and the horse died. '''Lexicon''' *alife – once, at some time (adv.) *e - he *elia – to give (v.) *fe – and (conj.) *hakisa – to struggle (v.) *ka – to do, make (v.) *keliu - I did *kolli – horse (n.) *litu – to tame (v.) *moya – to die (v.) *no - it (accusative) *o - it (nominative) *pettasi – strength (n.) *sa – this, that (follows noun or pronoun) *shena – to ride (v.) *taka – hundred (num.) *yala – much, greatly (adv.) *yiri – noise, to make noise (n. and v.) *yoka – to attempt, try (v.) '''Grammar''' *Tariatta is a semi-inflected language with a normal sentence structure of VSO. Adjectives follow the noun they describe and are not inflected. Numbers precede the noun, and nouns take no plural indicator unless there is nothing else to indicate plurality. *Noun and pronoun cases other than the accusative are suffixes added directly to the nominative form. The only ones that appear here are -tte for the genitive/possessive and -nne for the dative. *The accusative is shown differently. The accusative form of the 3rd person pronouns prefixes an "n" to the pronoun. If the direct object is a noun, it is in the nominative and follows the accusative-form pronoun, producing a form like "I read it book". *The definite article is shown by a suffixed -th, after the nominative form, or the case ending if there is one. *Adverbs mostly follow the verb or adjective they describe. *Verb infinitives are the same as the root form of the verb. Tariatta uses a narrative present format where the first verb in a story or narration may be past to reflect the past tense of the story, but all other verbs are present tense to give a more living feel to the naration. The past tense is formed with the archaic past tense of the verb ka (to do), of which the one you'll need here is keliu (I did). *The present tense of first conjugation verbs (the only ones used here) is formed with personal endings, the only one of which is used here being -su (3rd singular).

Nouns take suffixed case markers, of which only -n for the accusative is used here. Plurals are not indicated on nouns unless there is nothing else to show it, so a number takes a singular noun, and a verb form is enough to show a plural subject. Alurhsa uses a narrative present, meaning when telling a story the convention is to have the first verb in the story tense (usually past) while all others are in the present on the theory that the listener is immersing themselves in the moment of the story. Alurhsa verbs mostly (and all those used here) are root + -â for the infinitive, and drop the -â to add endings. Present indicative imperfective endings are mostly used here, being -ô for 3rd person singular and -ónyá for 3rd person plural. Past tenses have the infix -el- between root and suffix. The progressive/continuous 3rd person singular ending is -áyn. Alurhsa verbs can also show aspect, with -û on the end of a personal suffix showing that the action has finished and does not continue on to the present.

It is spoken by the ''elcari'', a sapient race in some ways similar to [[Dwarves]] of other fantasy worlds (they are shorter in growth than humans, settle in mountain ranges, and their economy is chiefly based on mining and metalworking). Elkarîl has several features that set it off from human languages of both Earth and Almea. Its diachronic development is very slow. The language has changed very little during the last 15,000 years; this is probably due to the long lifespan (more than 300 years) of the elcari, among whom children are few and far between and thus socialize more with adults than with other children of similar age. Also, the elcari revere their language as a gift from their creator god, Khemthu-Nôr, which means that any change to the language is considered disrespectful to their divine creator. Another unusual feature of Elkarîl is that it makes some use of ''graded signs'', especially in the domain of adjectives, wherein a gradual change of phonetic form entails a gradual change in meaning. The language also does not use personal pronouns; instead, it has a set of assignable variables. The language has a unique writing system, consisting of face-like glyphs whose features represent the sounds of the language. * [http://www.zompist.com/elkaril.htm Elkarîl] * [http://www.zompist.com/elkwrite.htm Elkarîl Writing] [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Almea]] Elkaril 8218 54543 2010-06-12T12:49:57Z WeepingElf 43 Redirected page to [[Elkarîl]] #REDIRECT[[Elkarîl]] Conlang Relay 17/Silindion 8219 54554 2010-06-14T22:35:41Z Erelion12 120 ==Text== I Yumma ángrië Mië vionu yummán ta yova alai emë voksëavinya, në të yusephë yumiellu.

Instead, it threw him off and then hurt him severely. While trying to escape, the horse bellowed and kicked the man. Thus, what happened was this: the strong one attacked the weak one. Trampling with legs and kicking, it hurt the man so he was dead. Having seen this, a pig squealed and rejoiced. ==Lexicon== {| border = 1 ! '''Word''' ! '''Translation''' !

However, sometimes it can be used to sequence events, especially when connnecting an adverbial clause to a main clause. It is also the normal inanimate relative pronoun (2) Sentence or clause initially, the particle ''id'' is to be translated as 'indeed', 'behold' or 'and'. It highlights the following sentence as particularly important. It often indicates a significant break between what follows id and what precedes. It may also link various clauses building to a climax (as before). Finally, in the sense 'behold' it may take direct objects or be followed by verbless clauses. (3) After the first clause: ''mië vionu yummán ta yova alai emë voksëavinya'', ''vio'' is demoted to a patient throughout the rest of the story. This is indicated by various grammatical devices, i.e. the use of ''të'' in the second clause (which does not refer to ''vio'') and the use of allative case ''vionna'' as subject of the gerund ''irevelda''.

It is a culturally-rich species which illuminates the world. It has learned to live in harmony with the other species on the planet, including the immigrants from Earth, with which it cannot interbreed, despite many outward appearance similarities. ==Metrics== * Heigth: ~2.5 metres at full growth * Weighth: ~35 kilograms at full growth ==Lifestyle== * Foods: primarily synthesised yeast products. * Source of water: from purified ocean water. * Source of gases: via lungs (or through engineered gills) ===Reproduction=== * Fairly similar to humans physiologically, but culturally, artificial insemination is preferred * Male genitals are retractable, and are 'stored' in retracted position. * Light-baskets are collapsed during intercourse. * Females have large openings to the front of the womb inside their light-baskets. * Gametes are in appearance identical, without examining genetic material. (This does not apply to Elerit Taméntz.) * [[Elerit Taméntz]] is the result of extensive genetic modification based on the principles of human genetics. ===Evolution=== * Evolved from insect/bird-like creatures (above specimen is Arenal Tfanil Vaalenól Aurian Tveren [[Arien]] [[Lllalav Uige͜řen]]; ''uige͜řen'' is an archaic form of the word ''uizen'', literally, ''wall''), gaining adaptations suited to a life on the ground. * During the time during which the Ilienian atmosphere's equilibrium was heavily damaged by humans (Arenal Tfanil [[Vaalenel]] [[Utanef]] [[Vtésal]] [[Toalan]] [[Uóraan]] (various)), and the Ilienians' atmosphere reparation systems were also damaged and were being replenished, the Ilienians used artificial selection techniques to rebreed for a life on ground, in case a battle needed to be fought. This ability to survive on the ground through rapid adaptation was vital in the [[Ilienian-Human War of IY 536]]. ===Unique adaptations=== * Light-basket (this is a bioluminescent, stiff, collapsible basket for carrying food or children) * Tall, for good speed when moving * Arms (evolved from second set of legs), for eating ====Planned or altered evolutionary descendants==== The Ilienians later employed similar artificial selection techniques to breed several new species, in a period of rapid scientific advancement between IY [[IY 955|955]] and 147.[[IY 1032|1032]]. The resulting species were engineered to not have any wings (generations 1 through 3), have gills (second generation), be able to interbreed with humans (third generation; see '[[#Reproduction]]' section above), and have resistance to several human-born pathogens that were not harmful to humans but had devastating effects on the Ilienians (most notably, some of the mutant strains of the Escherichia coli bacteria commonly found in humans and their livestock; these caused several disease outbreaks affecting humans on Earth in GYP 1990 through 2043) (fourth generation). The third and fourth generations were developed coöperatively with humans after the [[Ilienian-Human truce of 128.1024]] (this date was chosen for offical signing of the truce because powers of two are considered auspicious in the Ilienian tradition; the date of informal adoption was 34.[[IY 1022|1022]]). =====First generation===== [[Elerit Tatelén]] =====Second generation===== [[Elerit Tavól]] =====Third generation===== * developed coöperatively with humans [[Elerit Taméntz]] =====Fourth generation===== * developed coöperatively with humans [[Elerit Tamuilan]] [[Category:Urat]] Dwekoenish 8240 54615 2010-06-16T13:24:46Z Stelvojoj 1330 {{WIP}} Dwekoenish (native: Dvekönešč /{{IPA|dvɛˈkʰœnɛʃʧ}}/) is a fictional diachronic language created by Marko Stanković, aka Stelvojoj. {{Language| | English = Dwekoenish | native = Dvekönešč | country = Dwekoenia | nativecountry = Dveköneas | universe = Alternate Earth | speakers = Unknown | family = Arvaši | branch = Hovalic | subbranch = Northwestern Hovalic | wordorder = VSO | type = Fusional | alignment = nominative-accusative | author = Stelvojoj | date = 2008 AD | background = #ddddff | headingbg = #3399ff | width = 33% }} == Phonology == Dwekoennish has a relatively Indo-Europeanesque inventory of consonants and vowels.

The letter È represents a mid-open central unrounded vowel when long and is reduced to a schwa when short. (It is never marked for length.) Long vowels can occur in both stressed and unstressed syllables. The letters Õ, Ö, and Ő are also not marked for length. Õ and Ő typically do not change in phonemic value when lengthened, but Ö rises from a mid-open to a mid-close vowel. Y has no long variant. == Grammar == === Nouns === Dwekoenish is a highly inflected fusional language with agglutinative characteristics. Nouns and adjectives are declined for three numbers and sixteen cases. Patterns of declension are grouped into three genders. The first declension pattern applies to masculine nouns whose nominative forms end in -è or any non-sibilant consonant.

Khanty 8241 58024 2010-11-24T23:17:07Z Tropylium 756 /* Consonants */ Spoken in Western Siberia, Khanty forms the eastern half of the [[Ob-Ugric]] languages. It has usually been treated as a single language divided in many dialects, tho a division into a small family of 3-4 languages may be more appropriate. The historical phonology of Khanty has been problematic in Uralistics. ==Consonants== *s and *š develop into *ɬ unconditionally, while *ś depalatalizes to *s (common Ugric-Samoyedic developments). *ɬ assimilates to *s if the word contains another *s as well (*sükśɜ → #ɬüɣs → *söɣəs "autumn", *sopśi → #ɬåps → *saapəs "net needle", *śosra → #såɬra → *saarəs "1000") In all dialects but that of Tremjugan (where initial *ɬ → /j/), *ɬ then merges with *l (including that from *ð). The core dialects' reflex is /l/; a few retain /ɬ/; the marginal Vax and Obdorsk 'lects have /t/ (as do Mansi and Smy.) A *ɬʲ also emerges (which is treated the same). As in Mansi, *w *k *x all become *ɣ in *i-stems. Before *t, *č, this is lost. When occurring after a coronal (*ɬɣ *rɣ), it is metathesized (again only in *i-stems). *ðʲ becomes (as in Samoyedic) /j/, possibly thru an intermediate *ĺ (as in Mansi and Permic). Retroflex *ɭ *ɳ sometimes appear for *l *n; the conditioning is not entirely clear but at least the presence of the pre-existing retroflex *č triggers this. Of note is that *ɭ does ''not'' fricate; rather, in the dialects where *l → ɬ/t, this becomes a new /l/. Dialectal isoglosses tend to be shared with adjacent Mansi or Selkup dialects. * West Khanty: ** *k → χ near back vowels (except… <!--is this "Saly" or "Sely" I've written here, and what?-->) ** *č → š (further → s in Obdorsk, as also in Sosva Mansi) ** *ć → s * East Khanty * *ć → tʲ ==Vowels== Khanty dialects generally have a distinction between full and overshort vowels. This correlates with the long-short distinction of [[Mansi]], and is transcribed here as geminate vs. single. Many vowels develop different near to velar consonant, which is mark'd by <Vˠ>. Some dialects trigger labialization in following velars, markd by <Vʷ>. Several paradigmatic vowel alternations (generally in height or length, such as *ɑɑ ~ *uu, or *e ~ *ee) occur in some varieties, that are generally thought to result from umlaut at a stage when there was a richer system of non-initial syllable vowels. {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- ! !!

In NMs it seems *ö then re-raised to ''ü'' (elsewhere merging to *e and continuing to *ä). (This could be motivated by the typological rarity of having /ø/ but no /y/. New *i and *u did exist, but there was no new *ü.) NMs shares several innovations with the Khanty dialects; so, here it would seem that *ö also raised to *ü and was lower'd to *ɵ only later, akin to *e also partly deriving from common Ob-Ugric *i (← PU *ê). This may explain the *uu-like reflexes in Eastern Khanty as well. (The vowel usually call'd *ï in PU yields mostly *ɯɯ or *ɑɑ and is better understood as a mid vowel, *ë [ɤ ~ ʌ]) ===Isoglosses=== <!--====Proto-Khanty to VV==== Generally unchanged, save for the following purely phonetic changes: * ɵ → ø * ɶɶ → œœ ====Proto-Khanty to TJ==== * *yy → ii (shared with DK~O) * *ææ → ɑɑ ?? * Vowel rotation ** *oo → o, ɑ ** *ɔɔ → oo ** *ɑɑ → ɒɒ ** *ee → aa ** *øø → aa, ø ** *ɶɶ → ee ====Proto-Khanty to Proto-DK-N-K-O==== * Labiality mergers etc: *ɯɯ *yy → ii, *ɔɔ → oo, *øø → *ee, *ɶɶ → *ææ, *o → ɑ, * subsequently *ææ → aa ====DK-N-K-O to DK==== * *oo → *uu ====DK-N-K-O to Proto-N-K==== * Long full vowels shorten: *uu *ii → u i * Lo vowel backing: *ɑɑ → ɒɒ, *aa → ɑɑ, *a → ɑ * In Nizjam only, *oo → uu (shared with DK) ====DK-N-K-O to Obdorsk==== (no change!) --> Quasi-Polynesian 8242 55355 2010-07-30T18:17:12Z LinguarumMagister 1398 Defined "amapuma" Below is the vocabulary of a collaborative conlang with a Quasi-Polynesian phonology - (C)V syllables, 8 consonants /p t k s h m n r/ and three vowels /i a u/.

The main modern languages are [[Azarian]], [[Malwinish]], and [[Qrellise]]. Azarian and Malwinish are more closely related to each other than either is to Qrellise. Old Melonian had mostly ordinary phonetics, the only exception being the voiceless m sound used for nominative singular in a common declension (and sometimes in middles of words), and a plethora of verb tenses and noun cases, as did Proto-Borogoni. Verbs distinguished third-person and non-third-person, as well as singular and plural, as in Proto-Borogoni. Middle Melonian simplified the verb and noun systems, lost /r/ (usually turning it into /ʒ/), and developed a /c/ or /kʲ/ sound which changed in the daughter languages. Azarian further reduced the phonemic inventory, but developed tone to compensate, while Malwinish further simplified the verb system without much sound change. Qrellise is descended from Middle Qrellise, about which I don't know much. The most salient feature of Qrellise is the clicks. Some Old Melonian verb tenses (verb is "hista", to have): Present 1 (not specifically present) mes histas ses histas fi hista meba histanš seba histanš feba histan Present 2 (I have right now) mes histis ses histis fi histi meba histinš seba histinš feba histin Present 3 (I am having - presents 2 and 3 are conflated in Middle Melonian, and only 2 survives in Malwinish and 3 in Azarian) mes histos ses histos fi histo meba histonš seba histonš feba histon Imperfect mes/ses histebas fi histeba meba/seba histebanš feba histeban Aorist mes/ses histazos fi histazo meba/seba histazonš feba histazon Narrative past mes/ses histir fi histir meba/seba histirnes feba histirne Future 1 mes/ses histés fi histé meba/seba histénš feba histén Future 2 (This verb has a phonological irregularity.

THE TREATY OF KARYES CONCERNING THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE SOVEREIGN MONASTIC REPUBLIC OF THE HOLY MOUNTAIN FROM THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE *His Imperial Majesty, Abd-ul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and the Holy Synod of the Monastic Republic, desiring to end amicably the state of armed tension between their respective nations and considering that the interests of the Monastic Republic are necessarily linked, by reason of its geographical situation, to those of the Ottoman Empire, have accordingly decided to conclude a treaty and have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries: **For His Imperial Majesty, Abd-ul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire: His Imperial Highness Şehzade Ahmed Kemaleddin **For The Holy Synod of the Monastic Republic: His Serene Grace Demetrios of St. Athanasios *Who, being duly authorized, have agreed on the following provisions: *'''Article 1.''' The Government of His Imperial Majesty assures to the Monastic Republic its independence and its sovereignty and guarantees the integrity of its territory as if that territory were part of the Ottoman Empire. The Holy Synod undertakes, for its part, to exercise its rights of sovereignty in complete conformity with the sovereign interests of the Ottoman Empire. *'''Article 2.''' The Government of His Imperial Majesty most willingly assumes the commitment to indemnify the Monastic Republic for war and occupation damage to movable and immovable property of the Monastic Republic, whether within the territorial boundaries of the Monastic Republic or in any of the parts of the Ottoman Empire. If, in the course of the present war and by reason of the relations that exist between His Imperial Majesty and the Holy Synod, those which are enemies of the Ottoman Empire should engage in acts of destruction or depredation against the property of the Holy Synod either in the territory of the Monastic Republic or in imperial territory, the Government of His Imperial Majesty declares its readiness to consider the ways in which it can render assistance to the Holy Synod with a view to reparation for the damage caused. *'''Article 3.''' In addition to acknowledging the sovereign territory of the Monastic Republic as it has existed since the time of the Byzantine Empire, the Government of His Imperial Majesty cedes to the Monastic Republic, as partial compensation, additional territory up to the town of Ierissos. A straight line south-southwest from Latitude 40°23.7' North, Longitude 23°53.3' East to Latitude 40°21.7' North, Longitude 23°53.1' East shall be the new frontier between the Monastic Republic and the Ottoman Empire. *'''Article 4.''' The Government of His Imperial Majesty may, in case of emergency, and only at the request of the Holy Synod, cause such naval forces as are necessary for the maintenance of the security of the two countries to enter and remain in the territorial waters of the Monastic Republic for as long as deemed necessary by the Holy Synod. *'''Article 5.''' Special agreements shall establish the provisions relating, in particular, to the organization of joint public services, the treatment of aliens, and the co-ordination of frontier surveillance, it being understood that it shall be solely the concern of the Holy Synod to enact provisions concerning the internal public order of the Monastic Republic. *'''Article 6.''' This Treaty shall, as soon as circumstances permit, be brought to the notice of the Powers by the Government of His Imperial Majesty, that all nations may acknowledge the sovereign independence of the Serene Monastic Republic of the Holy Mountain. *In witness whereof the Plenipotentiaries have signed this Treaty and have thereto affixed their seals. *Done in duplicate, at Karyes, on 11 October 1878. **[His Serene Grace Demetrios of St. Athanasios] **[His Imperial Highness Şehzade Ahmed Kemaleddin] Proto-Rajo-Faraneit Root List 8253 55253 2010-07-22T20:20:56Z Humancadaver101 212 /* d */ This is a compendium of all roots in [[Proto-Rajo-Faraneit]].

User:LinguarumMagister 8257 55831 2010-09-07T15:44:24Z LinguarumMagister 1398 My name is Anthony Miles. I started conlanging in high school, but fell in love with languages by reading Tolkien and starting Latin and Greek with stories of Aeneas and Achilles. My first conlang, naReNga naRí, was based on varying vowels within or next to consonantal roots. These notes exist somewhere at my parents' house. My second developed conlang, Habazalei Dhabramez, was Indo-European-influenced, and on its strength I joined the Conlang List. The notes for this conlang are in disrepair, and I doubt I can reconstruct it sufficiently thoroughly. My third fully developed conlang, Fortunatian or Uchunata, was set in a conworld, the Fortunate Islands Universe, which soon superceded the conlanging aspect of world building. I spent the next few years developing the FIU mythos and narrative. For year or so, I was too busy with other matters to do much conlanging or conculturing, but more recently I have returned to relatively pure conlanging. I have also become a "jan pi toki pona" and interested in minimal languages and natural semantic metalanguage. Don't worry, I'm not turning into an evangelical auxlanger! Why do I conlang? I am fascinated by all languages, and this is the creative side. I strive in my conlanging to explore syntactic, grammatical, and diachronic concepts which I wish to understand better. I am not very interested in "exotic" sounds and feel that the overuse of such sounds in many conlangers' language distract from the interestinc syntactic, grammatical, and diachronic concepts which they have used. This is one reason why my conlangs tend to possess a relatively simple phonology and I spend little time on phonaesthetics. When it comes to linguistic universals, the universality of some of which I doubt, I am willing to break a few in the name of aesthetics. For instance, Náŋifi Fasúxa is a strict V1 language. This violates a few universals, but it is completely pronounceable. So far, I have found ways around every non-V1 specification of VSO-dominant languages. One could say, on the other hand, that I have been searching for "native tongue" my entire conlanging career. I know by now that this language is VSO-dominant, uses roots in a quasi-Hebrew way, and reflects a somewhat primitive way of life. If this sounds a bit like [[Náŋifi Fasúxa]], that is not an accident. I am not going to push Náŋifi Fasúxa or any of my conlangs on anyone, since their "native tongue" will be different from mine, but would be delighted at any interest expressed in it and would gladly return the favor for their conlang. Languages I am working on: A priori: [[Náŋifi Fasúxa]] [[Cheyoon]] A posteriori: [[Fortunatian]] (revised version) Náŋifi Fasúxa 8258 56058 2010-09-16T20:30:35Z LinguarumMagister 1398 /* Annotated Babel Text */ Fixed Subjunctive Adverbs {|style="background:#f9f9f9; float: right; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width:30%; font-size:95%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 |- style="text-align: center;" !colspan=2 style="background: #dfdfdf; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; font-size: 110%;"| Náŋifi Fasúxa |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Pronounced: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| ['ná.ŋi.fi fa.'sú.xa] |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Timeline and Universe: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Semiramis Universe, Post-Catastrophe |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Species: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Post-Catastrophe Hominid |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Spoken: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Kámanu |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Total speakers: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| c. 3,000 in 9 villages |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Writing system: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Syllabic |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Genealogy: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| [[Proto-Náŋifi Fasúxa]] <br>&nbsp; [[Old Náŋifi Fasúxa]] <br>&nbsp; [[Náŋifi Fasúxa]] |- !colspan=2 style="background: #dfdfdf; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;"| Typology: |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Morphology: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Isolating, Root-based |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Morphosyntax: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Accusative |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Word order: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| V1 |- !colspan=2 style="background: #dfdfdf; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;"| Credits |- |style="border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 30%"| Creator: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| Linguarum Magister |- |style="width: 30%"| Created: ||style="border-left: 1pt solid #c0c0c0; width: 70%"| 2010 |} Náŋifi Fasúxa (the Common Language) is the native language of the Pínaax (the People). =A Brief Note on the Syntax= In the Post-Catastrophe universe, one of the features of various hominid races is particular violations of pre-Catastrophe Universal Grammar. In the case of the languages of Kámanu, this violation is a rigid V1 order regardless of other grammatical-syntactical restrictions. Náŋifi Fasúxa is a nominative-accusative language, tense-based rather than aspect-based, and strictly paratactic. =A Brief Note on the Earliest Diachronics of the languages of Kámanu= In this document and other research notes on the languages of Kámanu, PNF, ONF, and NF indicate different stages of Náŋifi Fasúxa. PNF indicates Proto-Náŋifi Fasúxa, the language spoken in the survival shelter and in the very earliest stages of emergence; at this stage the bisyllabic roots were self-segregrating from the monosyllabic suffixes. If the PNF singular and the plural were phonetically distinct, there is no trace of it in the writing system. ONF indicates Old Náŋifi Fasúxa, the language spoken in the early day of reestablishing surface life and early expansion. The language acquired the necessary administrative terms for survival, but lost much of the more scientific terms used in the shelter. By this time, roots were trisyllabic, but an examination of the reduplicated forms (the primary grammatical innovation of this stage) shows that the speakers were analyzing the roots by the radical syllables.. NF indicates Náŋifi Fasúxa, the contemporary stage of the language (at least in the central of the nine villages). The roots have stabilized as trisyllabic, but the NF reduplicated forms, with one exception, show that they are analyzing the spoken syllables. The creation of autonomous villages and chieftainships and the movement away from the ONF conciliar structure, has resulted in the semantic shift of numerous roots, most notably, the use of workplaces to indentify persons. Other tags are INF (Infantile Náŋifi Fasúxa) and VNF (Vulgar Náŋifi Fasúxa), but I have not had occasion to consult my collegues on these subdialects in great detail. INF displays several non-standard phonological patterns, while VNF seems to be moving towards an agglutinative language and a simplification of the number-gender overdetermination of NF. =Phonology= The phonology is relatively simple, with 9 consonants (p,t,k,m,n,ŋ,f,s,x). There are 3 basic vowels. which may be short or long (a,i,u; aa, ii, uu). The pure long vowel arise from the contact of two similar vowels. There are also six diphthongs (ai [aj], au [aw], iu [ju], ia [ja], ui [wi], ua [wa], which arose from the contact of two dissimilar vowels. Adjacent consonants '''''do not''''' assimilate, as that would confuse trisyllabic radicals to too great an extent. /g/ and /x/ have the relatively free-placement allophones [ʔ] and [h], respectively. [ʔ] is more frequent in initial position or between vowels, but appears to be spreading. [h] has a similar distribution. The two allophones have the following constraint: they cannot appear adjacent to one another. <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Velar || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || {{IPA|m}} || || {{IPA|n}} || || {{IPA|ŋ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || || {{IPA|t}} || || {{IPA|k}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || {{IPA|f}} || || {{IPA|s}} || || {{IPA|x}} |} </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Long Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| A ||colspan=2| I ||colspan=2| U || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| A || {{IPA|a:}} || || {{IPA|ja}} || || {{IPA|wa}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| I || {{IPA|aj}} || || {{IPA|i:}} || || {{IPA|wi}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| U || {{IPA|aw}} || || {{IPA|ju}} || || {{IPA|u:}} |} </div> <br/> ==Stress-and-Pitch Accent== The acute accent on a vowel or diphthong indicates stress and a rising pitch; the unmarked vowels have a falling pitch, but may be stressed. The acute accent may disappear in the spoken form of the word if the stress vowel becomes a diphthong. Thus, the noun pínaxa ['pí.na.xa] 'man' is stressed and high-pitched on the initial syllable, but the equivalent feminine form pianxa ['pjan.xa] woman is not stressedon the initial (spoken) syllable. The equivalent adjectival forms, pina'xa [pi.'ná.xa] 'manly (m.sg.)' and piánxa ['pján.xa] 'womanly (f.sg.)', which place stress on the medial radical syllable, both possess stressed and high-pitched vowel. For the purposes of stress-and-pitch accent, the long non-diphthongal vowels are considered to be composed of a vowel and the related semi-vowel. This rule applies even to aa [a:], even though there is no equivalent semivowel. ==Radical Syllables and Spoken Syllables== A peculiarity of Náŋifi Fasúxa is the ability of the syllables in its three-syllable CVCVCV roots to flip form CV to VC depending on the use of the root in the sentence. A CV syllable is herein referred as unflipped or taken as basic and unmarked; a VC syllable is referred to as 'flipped'. In discussion of the grammar of Náŋifi Fasúxa, the terms 'initial syllable', 'medial syllable', and 'final syllable' refer to the syllables of the masculine singular CVCVCV root before any flipping; the feminine plural adjective kuáŋit ['kwá.ŋit] 'the big (feminine things)' has stress on the flipped medial syllable -aŋ-, even though the realization of the stress is on the initial syllable of the word as pronounced. =Nouns, Adjectives, and Prepositions= Nouns, adjectives, and prepositions are characterized by an unflipped intial syllable. ==Nouns== Nouns indicate gender and grammatical number. The masculine singular retains all the syllables as CV; plurality is indicated by flipping the final syllable, femininity by flipping the medial syllable. Nouns are accented on the initial syllable. Thus: pínaxa ['pí.na.xa] man pínaax ['pí.na:x] men pianxa ['pjan.xa] woman pianax ['pja.nax] women ==Non-Q Adjectives== Adjectives are similar to nouns, and agree with the noun they modify in gender and number (the exceptions are the possessive pronouns). Adjectives are accented on the medial syllable and follow the nouns they modify. Thus: pínaxa kuŋáti ['pí.na.xa ku.'ŋá.ti] a great man pínaax kuŋáit ['pí.na:x ku.'ŋájt] great men pianxa kuáŋti ['pjan.xa 'kwáŋ.ti] a great woman pianax kuáŋit ['pja.nax 'kwá.ŋit] great women Adjectives in Náŋifi Fasúxa may be divided into two categories: quantifiable (Q) and non-quantifiable (non-Q). Q adjectives have their own intrinsic number and gender, while non-Q adjectives agree in number and gender with the noun that they modify. This section addresses non-Q adjectives, which are simpler. The Q adjectives will be addressed in the next section along with prepositions. ==Prepositions, Q Adjectives, and the Genitive Prepositional Construct== Prepositions are accented on the final syllable. They agree with the noun which the prepositional phrase modifies in gender and number, but not with the object of the preposition. Thus: páŋasa tamapú múfaxa ['pá.ŋa.sa ta.ma.'pú 'mú.fa.xa] the house above the village páaŋas taamíx múfaxa ['pá:.ŋas ta:.'míx 'mú.fa.xa] the huts below the village Q adjectives use a similar formation to prepositions. Instead of using a specific preposition, Q adjectives use something called a Genitive Prepositional Construct (GPC), which combines elements of a preposition, a reflexive pronoun, and a relative pronoun. Personal pronouns must use a GPC. The head noun remains the same and the object of the GPC retains its gender and number as if it were an ordinary preposition. The GPC takes a prepositional form (accent on the final radical syllable), the gender and number of the head noun, and the actual root of the object of the preposition. Thus: tíŋaif pumaaf puamfa ['tí.ŋajf pu.'ma:f 'pwam.fa] my (fsg) sons =Verbs and Adverbs= Verbs and adverbs are characterized by a flipped initial syllable. ==Active Verbs== Active verbs and intransitive verbs are accented on the initial syllable. The verbs agree in gender and number with the subject. Náŋifi Fasúxa is a VSO language. Thus: átmaxi ... pínaxa kuŋáti ['át.ma.xi ... 'pí.na.xa ku.'ŋá.ti] a great man descends átmaix ... pínaax kuŋáit ['át.majx ... 'pí.na:x ku.'ŋájt] great men descend átamxi ... pianxa kuáŋti ['á.tam.xi ... pjan.xa 'kwáŋ.ti] a great woman descends átamix ... pianax kuáŋit ['á.ta.mix ... pja.nax 'kwá.ŋit] great women descend An active verb may function as an active participle after a noun. Thus: páŋaas úŋxauk ['pá.ŋa:s 'úŋ.xawk] the burning houses pianxa átamxi ['pjan.'xa:.tam.xi] the women who are descending The active participle may not be used as a substitute for the equivalent nouns. Thus there is a difference between: táamxi ['tá:m.xi] the descending ones (feminine plural) vs. pianxa átamxi ['pjan.'xa.tam.xi] the women who are descending ==Passive Verbs== Passive verbs are accented on the medial syllable. They agree in gender and number with the subject. Thus: uŋxáuk ... páŋaas [uŋ.'xáwk ... 'pá.ŋa:s] the houses are burning A passive verb may function as a passive participle after a noun. As with the active form, the passive participle is strictly adjectival. Thus: páŋaas uŋxáuk ['pá.ŋa:s uŋ.'xáwk] the burnt houses There is no nominal equivalent of the passive participle. ==The Verbs "To Be"== In Náŋifi Fasúxa, the only verbs which do not require a temporal adverb after the verb are the forms átkami, ítŋafi, and íxpunu. These are the active verbal forms of the temporal adverbs. Thus: átkami tákaxu ['át.ka.mi ,tá.ka.xu] he was an elder ítaŋfi táakxu ['í.taŋ.fi 'tá:kxu] she is an elder íxpuun tákaux ['íx.pu:n 'tá.kawx] they (mpl) will be elders ==Adverbs== Adverbs are accented on the final syllable. They agree in gender and number with the verb they modify. The chief adverbs are the temporal participles atkamí (past), itŋafí (present), and ixpunú (future). Just as adjectives follow the noun they modify, so too do the adverbs follow the verb. átamxi atakmí pianxa ['á.tam.xja.tak.'mí 'pjan.xa] the woman descended átamxi itaŋfí pianxa ['á.tam.xi:.taŋ.'fí 'pjan.xa]the woman descends átamxi ixupnú pianxa ['á.tam.xi:.xup.'nú 'pjan.xa] the woman will descend Adverbs may modify adjectives, including active and passive participles. páŋasa kuŋáti ukŋatí ['pá.ŋa.sa ku.'ŋá.tjuk.ŋa.'tí] the very big house páŋasa úŋxaku ukŋatí ['pá.ŋa.'sawŋ.xa.ku:k.ŋa.'tí] the great burning house túnasi uŋxáku ukŋatí ['tu.na.sjuŋ.'xá.ku:k.ŋa.'tí] the big burned stone The order of adverbs after the noun are descriptive, numerals, and demonstratives. Any of these, should they appear as the sole modifier, appear as adjectives. =Pronouns= There are three basic pronominal roots (ŋasipu, natufi, pumafa), which inflect for gender and number. Thus the complete set of pronouns is: ŋásipu he ŋásiup they (masculine) ŋáispu she ŋáisup they (feminine) nátufi you (masculine singular) nátuif you (masculine plural) náutfi you (feminine singular) náutif you (feminine plural) púmafa I (masculine) púmaaf we (masculine) puamfa I (feminine) puamaf we (feminine) In addition to these three, there are five other personal pronominal forms referring to relative rank of the speaker and the addressee: púmapu I (higher rank than addressee) púmaxi I (lower rank than addressee) púmasu I (no rank reference; often used affectionately) nátupu you (higher rank than speaker) nátuxi you (lower rank than speaker) nátunu you (in general; often used contemptuously) =Indicative Sentences= An affirmative indicative active sentence in Náŋifi Fasúxa has the following construction: Verb + Temporal Adverb + Agent + Patient. ánŋixi ixpunú náŋixa náŋiti the village crier will berate the teacher A negative indicative active sentence in Náŋifi Fasúxa has the following construction: Verb + Temporal Adverb + Negative Adverb + Agent + Patient. ánŋixi ixpunú aŋsixí náŋixa náŋiti the village crier will berate the teacher An affirmative indicative passive sentence in Náŋifi Fasúxa has the following construction: Verb + Temporal Adverb + Patient + Agent. ánŋiit atkaim xípuax náŋiti the children were taught by the teacher A negative indicative passive sentence in Náŋifi Fasúxa has the following construction: Verb + Temporal Adverb + Patient + Agent. ánŋiit atkaim aŋsiix xípuax náŋiti the children were not taught by the teacher =Predicate Sentences= Náŋifi Fasúxa predicate sentences have the structure Verb + Predicate Adverb + Subject or Verb + Predicate Noun + Subject. The verb in predicate sentences is the passive form of the verbs "to be". Thus: itáŋfi akansá páaŋsa a hut is circular itáŋfi páŋasa kuŋása páaŋsa a hut is a small house Náŋifi Fasúxa sentences with a predicate adverb can drop the verb. This only works for tenseless (and often gnomic) statements. It is important to note that this adverbial tranformation only works for adjectives, not nouns or noun phrase. akansá páaŋsa a hut is circular =Interrogative Sentences= Strictly speaking, Náŋifi Fasúxa has no interrogatives (a rare but attested custom on pre-Hegemonic Earth). The construction of a yes/no question is the same as an ordinary declarative sentence; the interrogative sense comes from context. If the answer to the question is negative, it can easily be denied; if the answer is positive, the question is as much a statement as a question. Thus: uŋxáuk itŋaif páŋaas [uŋ.'xáw.ki:t.'ŋaif 'pá.ŋa:s] are the houses burning? uŋxáuk aŋsiix itŋaif páŋaas [uŋ.'xáw.kaŋ.'si:.xit.'ŋaif 'pá.ŋa:s] are the houses burning? For who/what questions, the indefinite pronouns ŋásixu (somebody) and ŋásinu (anybody) are inserted into the interrogative sentence. úŋxaku atkamí ŋásixu páŋaas who burned the huts? uŋxáuk atkaim páŋaas ŋásinu by whom were the houses burned? =Imperatives= The Náŋifi Fasúxa imperative is conjugated for number and gender. The positive form consists of the bare stem of the verb. Thus one might say ínixpi speak! (fsg) The negative form adds the negative adverb to the bare stem. Thus one can say, ínixpi aŋsixí don't speak (fsg)! The grammatical person of the imperative is inherently second person. The syntax of a complete imperative sentence is thus: Verb (+ Negative Adverb, if any) + Vocative + Patient. Negative and affirmative examples follow: ínixip aŋisíx ŋítaif sisters, do not speak! úmfasa xípufi pumafá puampu tákafi natufí nátufi (said by a mother) my son, obey your father! There is a passive imperative created by reversing the order of the patient and the vocative, but it is extremely rare. One of the Irrealis forms is more frequently found in its place. =Irrealis Tenses and Moods= The Náŋifi Fasúxa Subjunctive (which covers many of the irrealis aspects of language) is formed by placing the affirmative adverb aŋsinú after the bare verb; the noun or pronoun follows the affirmative adverb. The negative subjunctive places the negative adverb between the affirmative adverb and the pronoun. Thus a chief of the Pínaax might say: úmfaas aŋsinú kánuux púmapu May the villagers obey me. ípnasa aŋsinú aŋsixí púmaxi múfaxu pumaxí púmaxi May I not fail my chief! ==Specific Subjunctive== The Specific Subjunctive is used when the basic Subjunctive refers to a specific person (the personal pronouns are an exception to this rule). The adverb is aŋsixú. Thus: úmafpi aŋisxú xiupxi puamfá púmapu múfaxu May my daughter assist the chief! ==Impersonal Gnomic Aorist== The Impersonal Gnomic Aorist is used for proverbs about moral conduct when the intended addressee (if any) is not present. The proper adverb is aŋsipú. Thus: ípnaxi aŋsipú pínaxa kanafú kánaxi A person would die in the wastelands. ==Personal Gnomic Aorist== The Personal Gnomic Aorist is similar to the Impersonal, but is used when the intended addressee (not necessarily the person with whom the speaker is talking) is present. Its adverb is antufí. Thus: ípnaxi antufí pínaxa kanafú kánaxi A person would die in the wastelands. ==Perjorative Gnomic Aorist== The Perjorative Gnomic Aorist is similar to the Personal, but conveys contempt. Its adverb is antunú. Thus: ípnaxi antunú pínaxa kanafú kánaxi A person (you moron!) would die in the wastelands. ==General Gnomic Aorist== The General Gnomic Aorist is similar to the Personal and Impersonal Forms, but has no moral implications, merely a connotation of "everyone knows this". Its adverb is afsuxá. ípnaxi afsuxá pínaxa kanafú kánaxi A person would die in the wastelands. ==Opinative== The Opinative indicates "in my/your/his opinion". Its adverb is upmasú. áfusfa upamsú ŋáispu ŋásinu. In my opinion, she's sleeping with someone. =Conjunctions= There are no true conjunctions in Náŋifi Fasúxa, since the language is entirely paratactic (but it does love its adverbs!). If coordination is necessary, specific adverbs are placed after the canonical temporal and negative adverbs. Even when a coordinating conjunctive adverb is present in a sentence, the sense of conjunction is closer to a semi-colon rather than a comma. The temporal conjunctive adverbs fit a seven-point scale of time, based on the words for days; from the farthest past these are: atkatí (before) - atkasú (before) - atkasá (before) - itŋasá or itŋasú(when/now) and itŋafá (now/while) - ixpusá (after) - ixpusú (after) - ixputí (after). The adverb "where" is either antuxú or antuxá. ==Interrogative Conjunction Displacement== All of the adverbs meaning “before”, “when”, “now”, “while”, or “after” can be used as an interrogative "when?" in the appropriate context – in these case, the conjunction takes the place of the temporal adverb if the temporal adverb agrees with the the anteriority or posteriority of the interrogative conjunction. Thus, itŋasá or itŋasú may substitute for the temporal adverb itŋafí, but not the past temporal adverb atkamí or the future temporal adverb ixpunú. In those cases, the the interrogative conjunctional adverb comes after the temporal adverb and the negative adverb, if present, but before the first noun of the sentence. =Auxiliary Verbs= Náŋifi Fasúxa is strictly paratactic. This means that auxiliary verb cannot exist. There are two ways of saying "The woman is ready to collect kindling." The first method, much more common and clearer, is to separate the components of the sentiment into two sentences - "The woman is ready. She will collect kindling." The second is to promote the auxiliary verb to the main verb and demote the former main verb to a verbal adverb: "The woman is ready to collect kindling." In the latter case, the surviving temporal adverb is the one from the first sentence ("is ready") rather than the second ("will collect"). útanfi itaŋfí pianxa. útanxa ixupnú ŋáispu ŋúxauf. be ready-VB-FSG PRES-ADV-FSG man-NOM-FSG collect-VB-FSG FUT-ADV-FSG 3SG-NOM-FSG log-NOM-MPL útanfi utanxá itaŋfí pianxa ŋúxauf. be ready-VB-FSG collect-ADV-FSG PRES-ADV-FSG man-NOM-FSG log-NOM-MPL In contrast, the sentence (with a future temporal adverb and the two possible verbs reversed) útanfi ixupnú utanfí pianxa ŋúxauf means “The woman will collect firewood readily (with the appropriate tools).” =Numbers= As of this writing, only two NF numbers have been identified: ŋáfisu (one) and fáputu (three); the Pínaax appear to prefer relative quantity over absolute quantatity in speaking. Note that the number used as an independent count noun is masculine singular. A cardinal number agrees with its noun in number and gender, as all non-Q adjectives agree. An ordinal number is a Q adjective, and therefore uses the GPC. A distributive number other than "one" uses a prepositional construction and gafisu' as a preposition. A singular distributive number ("individually, each one") uses reduplication. ONF used both constructions indiscriminately. Thus: ŋáfisu one fáputu three páŋasa ŋafísu one house, a house páŋaas fapúut three houses páŋasa ŋafisú ŋáfisu the first house páŋaas fapuut fáputu the third house páŋasa ŋafisúsu each house páŋaas ŋafisú fáputu every third house =Pluractional and Reduplicated Verbs= ==ONF Pluractionality== Reduplication in ONF applied only to plural forms with stressed initial and medial radical syllables. The primary sense of reduplication was iterative and distributive. ONF formed reduplicated words by taking the underlying post-tonic radical syllable, using stress rather than pitch as a metric, and inserting it between 1) the tonic radical syllable if the tonic radical syllable is CV 2) the (still tonic) vowel of the tonic radical syllable and the consonant of the tonic radical syllable if the tonic radical syllable is VC. So if you take the root /tunasi/: túnais > túnanais tunáis > tunánais tuanis > tuaninis útnais > únatnais útanis > útaninis ==NF Reduplication== By NF, the reduplication applied to the surface spoken syllable rather than the underlying radical syllable, and could occur in the singular of verbs and nouns. Reduplication in a singular form means something like "a step (in a series of steps originally described by the plural reduplicated verb). The pitch, and therefore the primary stress, shifted to the appropriate syllabic vowel, before diphthongization and possible high pitch deletion, for the form. This vowel is antepenultimate for nouns/active verbs and penultimate for adjectives/passive verbs. Thus: túnasi > tunánasi tunási > tunásisi tuansi > tuásinsi tuánsi > tuasínsi túnais > tunainais tunáis > tunaináis (by analogy with tunainais) tuanis > tuáninis tuánis > tuanínis útnasi > unátnasi utnási > utnasísi útansi > utátansi utánsi > utasínsi útnais > unaitnais utnáis > unaitnáis (by analogy with unaitnais) útanis > utátanis utánis > utanínis =Comparisons= The proper way to form comparisons in Náŋifi Fasúxa is by placing two or more sentences next to one another. úŋxasa itŋafí tíŋasu. úŋxasa atkamí aŋsixí tákati. Today it is warm. The day before yesterday it was not warm. Today is warmer than the day before yesterday. ukŋatí múfaxu pumapú púmaup. úkŋati itŋafí aŋsixí múfaux ŋásiun. Our (mpl) chief is great. Any (other) chief is not great. Our (mpl) chief is the greatest. =Naming Practices= NF names need not have any significance beyond personal identification, but for names that are or seem to be legitimate roots (nominal or verbal), the number and gender does matter. Thus Natuni and Antuni are percieved as masculine, and Nautni and Anutni as feminine. Within one's own village, a Pínaxa or Pianxa will generally use only one name. If he (or she) visited a different village, he will generally use the name of his village or some other geographical designation. If there is a need to identify a lineage, or a distinct benefit to doing so, the Pínaxa may choose a patronymic, a matronymic, the name of a close relative, a loosely defined clan name, or a line of apprenticeship. Thus "Kuisfi Káitni" is the "[the woman] Kuisfi, [female relative/female apprentice] of Káitni", while "Kuisfi Káitin" is the "[the woman] Kuisfi, [female relative/female apprentice] of [the blood or craft lineage of] Káitni [or the Káitin 'guild']". Note that the genitive relationship of the two names here does ""not"" use the genitive prepositional construct. Its use in a NF name would be pretentious, even for the most exalted chief. Such use is typical of ONF names, but the genitive prepositional construct has lost that sense in NF. =Language Sample= This passage is taken from an epic about a young man curious (perhaps too curious) about the world outside the fertile mountain oases of his world. The second verse is about a similar young woman and her mother. átkami átkami tíŋaxa kuŋása ínxipi atkamí tákaxa ŋasipú ŋásipu: ítŋafi itŋafí xípuxa pumafá púmasu úmfasa múfaxu pumafá púmaup átmaxi aŋsixí tamaxí kánaxi átmapu aŋsixí tamapú kánapu ípnapu afsuxá aŋsixí nátufi ípnaxi afsuxá nátufi kanafú káanxi íknafu kanafú múfaxa pumafá púmapu úmfasa atkamí aŋsixí tíŋaxa tákaxa ŋasipú ŋásipu úmfasa atkamí aŋsixí ŋásipu múfaxu mufaxá múfaxa Once there was a young man.

Remain in our village! The young man* did not obey his father. He did not obey the chief of the village. Notes: tíŋaxa in the penultimate line strictly means "adult", but here it is short for tíŋaxa kuŋása, "young man" from the first line. átakmi atakmí tiaŋxa kuáŋsa ínixpi atakmí táakxa ŋaispú ŋáispu: ítaŋfi itaŋfí xiupxa puamfá puamsu úmafsa múfaxu pumafá puamup átamxi aŋisxí tamaxí kánaxi átampu aŋisxí tamapú kánapu ípanpu afusxá aŋisxí náutfi ípanxi afusxá náutfi kanafú káanxi íkanfu kanafú múfaxa pumafá puamup úmafsa atakmí aŋisxí tiaŋxa táakxa ŋaispú ŋáispu úmafsa atakmí aŋisxí ŋáispu múfaxu mufaxá múfaxa Once there was a young woman.

Remain in our village! The young woman did not obey her mother. She did not obey the chief of the village. =Annotated Babel Text= 11:1 áptaka atkatí kámanu maníŋa náŋifi ŋafísu pataká náŋifi fasúxa.

Any thoughts? Alpic 8262 57385 2010-11-09T23:58:22Z TaylorS 1365 /* Verbs */ {{Language| | English = Alpic | native = Elbetusa | country = Switzerland | nativecountry = Swestazoha | universe = [[League of Lost Languages]] | speakers = ~30,000 | family = Danubian | branch = SW Danubian | subbranch = Alpine | wordorder = SVO | type = Synthetic/Fusional | alignment = Fluid-S Active-Stative | author = Taylor Selseth | date = 2010 C.E. | background = white | headingbg = #B5EAAA | width = 50% }} '''Alpic''' {{IPA|/ˈælpik/}}, natively '''Elbetusa''' {{IPA|/ˈɛlbeˌtusa/}}, spoken in southeastern Switzerland, with most speakers living along the Inn River and near Davos. It is the sole surviving language of the [[Danubian]] language family which was once spoken throughout the Danube River basin. The Danubian languages are probably part of the of the [[Europic]] macrofamily, which consists of [[Indo-European]] and [[Hesperic]] besides Danubian. Europic itself maybe a part of an even larger language phylum called [[Mitian]], [[Eurasiatic]], or Core [[Nostratic]], which also includes Uralic, Rhaeto-Etruscan, Chukchi-Kamchatkan, Eskimo-Aleut, Altaic, and Kartvelian. ==Phonology== The syllable structure of Alpic is (C)(F|l|m|r|w|j)V(C), where F is any fricative. CF, Cl, Cm, and Cr can only occur at the beginning of a word. Stress is moderately light and is always on the penultimate syllable of a word. Prosody is syllable-timed and Trochaic in rhythm. Intonation patterns are typical for a Western European language, with a rising intonation in questions. ===Consonants=== '''IPA''' {| || ||Labial||Alveolar||Postalveolar||Palatal||Velar|| |- ||Stops, fortis||'''p'''||'''t'''||'''ʧ'''|| ||'''k''' |- ||Stops, lenis||'''b'''||'''d'''||'''ʤ'''|| ||'''g''' |- ||Fricatives, unvoiced||'''f'''||'''s'''||'''ʃ'''|| ||'''x''' |- ||Fricatives, voiced||'''v'''||'''z'''||'''ʒ'''|| || |- ||Nasals||'''m'''||'''n'''|| ||'''ɲ'''|| |- ||Laterals|| ||'''l'''|| ||'''ʎ'''|| |- ||Trills|| ||'''r'''|| || || |- ||Semivowels||'''w'''|| || ||'''j'''|| |- |} '''Orthographical''' {| || ||Labial||Alveolar||Postalveolar||Palatal||Velar |- ||Plosives, fortis||'''p'''||'''t'''||'''tj'''|| ||'''k''' |- ||Plosives, Lenis||'''b'''||'''d'''||'''dj'''|| ||'''g''' |- ||Fricatives, unvoiced||'''f'''||'''s'''||'''sj'''|| ||'''h/ch''' |- ||Fricatives, voiced||'''v'''||'''z'''||'''zj'''|| || |- ||Nasals||'''m'''||'''n'''|| ||'''nj'''|| |- ||Laterals|| ||'''l'''|| ||'''lj'''|| |- ||Trills|| ||'''r'''|| || || |- ||Semivowels||'''w'''|| || ||'''j'''|| |- |} Syllable-initial lenis plosives are mildly implosive /r/ is realized as the flap /ɾ/ in between vowels. /n/ assimilates to the point of articulation of the following consonant. /x/ is realized as /h/ in the syllable onset and [ɣ] between vowels, it is represented as H in the orthography in the onset and as CH in the coda. /s/ and /z/ are [ʃ] and [ʒ] when before a plosive. /k/ and /ɡ/ are [c] and [ɟ] when followed by /j/ or /i/. lenis plosives voice adjacent fricatives. final lenis plosives and voiced fricatives become their fortis and unvoiced counterparts at the end of a word, much like Final Fortition in High German. ===Vowels=== Alpic has a simple Spanish-style /a e i o u/ vowel system, with the vowels realized as [ɐ ɜ ɪ ɔ ʊ] in closed syllables and are pronounced shorter than in open syllables to maintain syllable-timed prosody. ==Morphology and Morphosyntax== Alpic is a synthetic and fusional language with rich morphology in nouns, adjectives and verbs. ===Morpheme structure=== ====Roots==== Most lexical roots in Alpic fit into the pattern (C)(C)V(C)(V). The phonemes /r/ and /l/ do not occur more than once in a root. ====Affixes==== Alpic is a wholly suffixing language, it has no prefixes. Most affixes are -CV, -CCV -V, or -VC, several disyllabic affixes do occur, however. ===Word Formation=== An Alpic word consists of one or more roots that form a stem upon which first derivational affixes and then inflectional affixes are attached. Verbs and adverbs have at least one inflectional affix, the personal inflections, but bare noun roots are common. ====Compounding==== Conpounding is highly productive in Alpic, with two-root and even three-root compounds not being uncommon, and even compounds of 4 or more occur. The majority of compounds are head-final, with the other lexical elements in the compound modifying the meaning of the head. Some others are double headed and have an emergent meaning. headless "bahuvrihi" compounds also occur, mainly as adjectives. Alpic is particularly rich in verb-verb compounds. ====Derivation==== Alpic has a very rich set of derivational affixes. Zero-derivation is very common as well. ===Nouns and Adjectives=== Nouns inflect for Possession, Case, and Number. Adjectives and the Definite and Indefinite Articles agree with their host nouns in Case and Number. The order of suffixes are:<br> 1. Nominal Stem<br> 2. Possessive Suffix<br> 3. Case-Number Suffix<br> Nouns fall into 3 classes, Animate, Inanimate, and Collective. '''Collective Class:''' ethic and political units, organizations, settlements, sports teams, etc<br> '''Animate Class:''' people, animals, deities, natural forces<br> '''Inanimate Class:''' everything else ====Possessive suffixes==== Possessive Suffixes function like the Possessive Adjectives in other European languages, marking who possesses the marked noun {| || ||1st Person||2nd Person||3rd Animate||3rd Inanimate||Impersonal |- ||Singular||-mi-||-di-||-ye-||-si-||-pa- |- ||Plural||-vi-||-wa-||-tje-||-sja-|| |- |} Atami<br> ata-mi<br> "My father" ====Case and Number==== Case and Number marking is fusional. There are two numbers: singular and plural. There are 5 cases: Direct, Genitive, Dative, Instrumental, and Topical. The Direct Case is the unmarked case for the Agent or Patient of the sentence. The Genitive marks that the noun possesses or has a relation of some kind to another noun. The Dative marks the Direct Object of the sentence. The Instrumental marks by which means a verb is done as well as the demoted agent of a passive voice sentence. The Topical case is a kind of Vocative case used to mark a topicalized noun and/or adjective that is separated from the sentence; it is unusual among case endings in that it retains the old Noun Class system of Proto-Danubian. {| ||'''V-Stem'''||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Singular||-Ø||-s||-n||-t |- ||Plural||-t||-sa||-r||-ta |} {| ||'''C-Stem'''||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Singular||-Ø||-es||-i||-o |- ||Plural||-da||-sa||-na||-ta |} {| ||'''Topical Forms'''||Animate||Inanimate||Collective |- ||Singular||-gwe||-f||-lja |- ||Plural||-got||-vut||-let |} ====Articles==== Alpic has 3 articles, the Definite Article, the Indefinite Article, and the Partitive Article. All agree with their nouns in, case and number. The Definite Article also agrees with it's noun in Noun Class. All are regularly declined, though the Partitive has no plural form. The article precedes the noun. '''Definite''' The Definite Article indicates that its noun is a particular thing identifiable to the listener. It may be the same thing that the speaker has already mentioned, or it may be something uniquely specified. A noun marked with a possessive suffix always has the Definite Article. {| || ||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Singular Animate||da||das||dan||dat |- ||Plural Animate||dat||dasa||dar||data |- ||Singular Inanimate||do||dos||don||dot |- ||Plural Inanimate||dot||dosa||dor||dota |- ||Collective||dje||djes||djin||djet |- |} '''Indefinite''' The Indefinite Article indicates that its noun is not yet a particular thing identifiable to the listener. It may be something that the speaker is mentioning for the first time, or its precise identity may be irrelevant or hypothetical, or the speaker may be making a general statement about a particular thing. {| || ||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Singular||zo||zos||zon||zot |- ||Plural||zot||zosa||zor||zota |- |} '''Partitive''' The Partitive article indicates a non-specific quantity of a mass noun. It is not unlike the English determiner "some", but acts grammatically like an article since it agrees with it's noun in case. {| || ||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Singular||ni||nis||nin||nit |- |} ====Demonstratives==== Alpic has a 2-way Proximal-Distal demonstrative system, like English's "This-These" and "That-Those". It also has locative demonstratives like English's "Here-There" '''Proximal''' {| || ||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Singular Animate||sa||sas||san||sat |- ||Plural Animate||sat||sasa||sar||sata |- ||Singular Inanimate||so||sos||son||sot |- ||Plural Inanimate||sot||sosa||sor||sota |- |} '''Distal''' {| || ||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Singular Animate||dwe||dwes||dwen||dwet |- ||Plural Animate||dwet||dwesa||dwer||dweta |- ||Singular Inanimate||dwa||dwas||dwan||dwat |- ||Plural Inanimate||dwat||dwasa||dwar||dwata |- |} '''Locative''' {| || ||Direct||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||Proximal||swa||swas||swan||swat |- ||Distal||ga||gas||gan||gat |- |} ====Adjectives==== Adjectives have comparative and superlative inflections that precede the case-number inflection. Comparative: -ra-<br> Superlative: -dja- ====Pronouns==== Alpic pronouns are thus: {| || ||Agent||Patient||Genitive||Dative||Instrumental |- ||1SG||mu||mi||mwe||mim||mit |- ||2SG||du||di||dwe||dim||dit |- ||3SG Animate||e||em||es||im||et |- ||3SG Inanimate||sa||sa||sis||sim||sit |- ||1PL||vu||vi||ve||vir||vit |- ||2PL||dju||dje||wa||wor||wat |- ||3PL||ge||gem||ges||ger||get |- ||Relative||zje||zjem||zjis||zjin||zjit |- ||Interrogative||ko||kom||kis||kin||kit |- ||Impersonal||pa||pam||pas||pan||pat |- |} The relative pronoun precedes all relative clauses, it cannot be dropped as it can in English. The impersonal pronoun is similar to English "one", German "Man", and French "on". ===Verbs=== The Alpic verb is highly synthetic. The verb is inflected for Voice, Mood, Tense, Inferentiality, Polarity, volition or activeness of the intransitive subject, person, and number. There is both partial and full reduplication. The morphological structure of the verb is: 1. Verb Stem<br> 2. Perfective affix 3. Voice-Mood-Tense<br> 4. Inferentiality-Polarity<br> 5. Adverbal affixes<br> 6. Question Marking<br> 7. Incorporated Direct Object<br> 8. Person-Number-Volition<br> ====Person-Number-Volition Inflection==== Alpic has two sets of personal endings in intransitive sentences, one for an agent-like subject and a patient-like subject. Fluid Verbs can take either forms depending of the volition the intransitive subject has over the process described by the verb. Accusative Verbs only have agentive intransitive subjects. Ergative Verbs only have patientive intransitive subjects.

"I'm going to the store."<br> '''Ibim da merkado, sadja.''' "I'm going to the store, today."<br> '''Ibim da merkado ha savadot.''' I go to the store on Saturdays."<br> <br> The '''Past Tense''' is used for actions occurring before the time of utterance.<br> <br> '''Iludem da merkado, jodja.''' "I went to the store, yesterday." ====Mood Usage==== Incomplete ====Voice Usage==== Incomplete ====Polarity and Inferentiality==== Incomplete ====Auxiliary Verbs==== Incomplete ====Adverbs and Adverbal Suffixes==== Adverbs are formed from Adjective roots with verbal person-number-volition inflections in agreement with the verb. ====Question Marking==== In Yes-No questions the verb is marked with the affix '''-po'''. In all other questions the verb is marked with with affix '''-ko'''. ===Prepositions and Other Particles=== Incomplete ===Reduplication=== Alpic has 2 types of reduplication, partial and full. Partial republication is in the form of a |Ca-| prefix, where C is the first consonant of the root. When the word begins with a vowel the prefix is |ah-|. Full reduplication involves the complete repetition of the root. ====Nouns and Adjectives Reduplication==== Nouns and Adjectives do not have full reduplication. Partial reduplication has an augmentative function; so that '''ma-merkado''' means "supermarket", '''ra-riksa''' means "emperor", and '''ta-duppo''' "very stupid". note that if the root starts with an unvoiced consonant the consonant becomes voiced: '''tuppo''' → '''ta-duppo'''. ====Verb Reduplication==== In verbs, partial reduplication indicates the intensive aspect while full reduplication indicates the continuative aspect. The voicing rules in nouns and adjectives also apply in verbal reduplication. '''bodje-''' "walk", '''ba-bodje-''' "run", '''bodje-bodje-''', "keep on walking" ==Syntax== Basic syntax is Agent-Verb in active intransitive sentences, Verb-Patient in stative intransitive sentences, and Subject-Verb-Object in transitive sentences. Genitives and Adjectives precede their heads.

It may have been inhabited as early as 2000 B.C., but not much was known until the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism in the ninth century A.D. when turmoil in Tibet forced many monks to flee to Bhutan. *It is suggested by archeological evidence that the mountain valleys of Bhutan have been inhabited for several thousand years. Study of the Bhutanese people reveals that they are related to their Tibetan cousins to the north, as they share physical, cultural and linguistic traits. Some time in the past a significant migration of Tibetans must have crossed the Himalayan passes to create the ancient core of this people. *A more certain prehistoric period has been theorized by historians as that of the state of Lhomon (southern darkness) or Monyul (dark land, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Monpa|Monpa]] aboriginal peoples of Bhutan), possibly a part of Tibet before Buddhism was introduced. *Monyul is thought to have existed between 500 B.C. and A.D. 600. The names ''Lhomon Tsendenjong'' (southern Mon sandalwood country) and ''Lhomon Khashi'' (southern Mon country of four approaches), found in ancient Bhutanese and Tibetan chronicles, may also have been used by some Bhutanese scholars when referring to their homeland. *Some scholars believe that during the early historical period the inhabitants were fierce mountain aborigines, the Monpa, who were of neither the Tibetan nor the Mongol stock that later overran northern Bhutan. The people of Monyul practiced the shamanistic [[Wikipedia:Bön|Bön]] religion, which emphasized worship of nature and the existence of good and evil spirits. During the latter part of this period, historical legends relate that the mighty king of Monyul invaded a southern region known as the [[Wikipedia:Doouars|Dooars]], subduing the regions of modern [[Wikipedia:Assam|Assam]], [[Wikipedia:West Bengal|West Bengal]], and [[Wikipedia:Bihar|Bihar]]. ===Arrival of Buddhism=== *The introduction of Buddhism occurred in the seventh century, when the Tibetan king Srongtsen Gampo (627-49), a convert to Buddhism, ordered the construction of two Buddhist temples, one at [[Wikipedia:Bumthang|Bumthang]] in central Bhutan and the other at Kyichu in the Paro Valley. Buddhism replaced but did not eliminate the Bon religious practices that had been prevalent in Tibet until the late sixth century. Instead, Buddhism absorbed Bon and Widipedia:Padmasambhava|Padmasambhava]] (known in Bhutan as Guru Rimpoche), came to Bhutan from India at the invitation of one of the numerous local kings. After reportedly subduing eight classes of demons and converting the king, Guru Rimpoche moved on to Tibet. Upon his return from TibetS, he oversaw the construction of new monasteries in the Paro Valley and set up his headquarters in Bumthang. According to tradition, he founded the [[Wikipedia:Nyingma|Nyingmapa]] sect (also known as the "old sect" or Red Hat sect) of [[Wikipedia:Mahayana|Mahayana]] Buddhism, which became for a time the dominant religion of Bhutan. Guru Rimpoche plays a great historical and religious role as the national patron saint who introduced the [[Wikipedia:tantra|tantra]]s, manuals describing forms of devotion to natural energy, to Bhutan. Following the guru's sojourn, Indian influence played a temporary role until increasing Tibetan migrations brought new cultural and religious contributions. *There was no central government during this period. Instead, small independent monarchies began to develop by the early ninth century. Each was ruled by a ''deb'' (king), some of whom claimed divine origins. The Kingdom of Bumthang was the most prominent among these. At the same time, Tibetan Buddhist monks had firmly planted their religion and culture in Bhutan, and members of joint Tibetan-Mongol military expeditions settled in the fertile valleys. By the eleventh century, all of Bhutan was occupied by Tibetan-Mongol military forces. ===The 12th Century=== *In the 12th century, the Drukpa [[Wikipedia:Kagyu|Kagyupa]] school was established and remains the dominant form of Buddhism in Bhutan today. The country's political history is intimately tied to its religious history and the relations among the various monastic schools and monasteries. ===The 17th Century=== *This religious change, however, did not change the social scene until 1616, when the existing warring tribes were gathered under the leadership of a Tibetan lama and military leader, [[Wikipedia:Shabdrung|Shabdrung]] [[Wikipedia:Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal|Ngawang Namgyal]]. He had escaped political foes in Tibet in 1616 and began to fortify himself militarily, beginning the consolidation of Bhutan. He defeated three Tibetan invasions, subjugated rival religious schools, codified an intricate and comprehensive system of law, and established himself as ''shabdrung'' over a system of ecclesiastical and civil administrators becoming the temporal and spiritual leader of Bhutan. He built impressive fortresses or ''dzong''s, notably Simtokha Dzong, which guarded the entrance to Thimphu Valley. The ''Shabdrung'' was an insightful leader, using cultural symbols and military force to develop a Bhutanese national identity, including a number of sacred dances that are still performed at the annual ''tsechu'' festivals. After his death, infighting and civil war eroded the power of the ''shabdrung'' for the next 200 years until in 1885, [[Wikipedia:Ugyen Wangchuck|Ugyen Wangchuk]] was able to consolidate power. **Tibetan armies invaded Bhutan around 1629, in 1631, and again in 1639, hoping to stop Ngawang Namgyal's popularity before it spread too far. The invasions were thwarted, and the Drukpa subsect developed a strong presence in western and central Bhutan, leaving Ngawang Namgyal supreme. **'''Emboldened by his successes, Ngawang Namgyal led his armies eastward along the Himalayan foothills to the far side of the [[Wikipedia:Brahmaputra River|Brahmaputra River]]. This eastern acquisition doubled the size of his kingdom. This newly acquuired area already had a close relationship with Tibetan people and Tibetan culture.''' The sixth Dalai Lama [[Wikipedia:Tsangyang Gyatso, 6th Dalai Lama|Tsangyang Gyatso]] was born in [[Wikipedia:Tawang district|Tawang]]. **In recognition of the power he accrued, goodwill missions were sent from Cooch Behar in Bangal, from Nepal in the west, and [[Wikipedia:Ladakh|Ladakh]] in western Tibet. The ruler of Ladakh even gave a number of villages in his kingdom to Ngawang Namgyal. **Bhutan's troubles were not over, however. In 1643, a joint Mongol-Tibetan force sought to destroy Nyingmapa refugees who had fled to Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal. The Mongols had seized control of religious and civil power in Tibet in the 1630s and established [[Wikipedia:Gelug|Gelugpa]] as the state religion. Bhutanese rivals of Ngawang Namgyal encouraged the Mongol intrusion, but the Mongol force was easily defeated in the humid lowlands of southern Bhutan. Another Tibetan invasion in 1647 also failed. **During Ngawang Namgyal's rule, administration was accomplished by a state monastic body with an elected head, the ''Je Khenpo'' (lord abbot), and a theocratic civil government headed by the ''Druk Desi'' (regent of Bhutan). **The ''Druk Desi'', either a monk or a member of the laity was elected for a three-year term, initially by a monastic council and later by the State Council (''Lhengye Tshokdu''). The State Council was a central administrative organ that included regional rulers, the ''shabdrung'''s chamberlains, and the [[Druk Desi]]. In time, the Druk Desi came under the political control of the State Council's most powerful faction of regional administrators. The ''shabdrung'' was the head of state and the ultimate authority in religious and civil matters. **The seat of government was at Thimphu, the site of a thirteenth-century dzong, in the spring, summer, and fall. The winter capital was at [[Wikipedia:Punakha|Punakha]], a dzong established northeast of Thimphu in 1527. **The kingdom was divided into '''four''' ''dzongdey'' ('''prefectures'''). These are '''Thimphu''', '''Punakha''', '''Tongsa''', and '''Mongar'''. Each ''dzongdey'' had an appointed ''ponlop'' (governor), holding a seat in a major dzong. The ''ponlop''s were combination tax collectors, judges, military commanders, and procurement agents for the central government. Their major revenues came from the trade between Tibet and India and from land taxes. **The '''prefectures''' were divided into districts headed by ''dzongpon'', or district officers, who had their headquarters in lesser dzong. **Ngawang Namgyal's regime was bound by a legal code called the Tsa Yig, which described the spiritual and civil regime and provided laws for government administration and for social and moral conduct. The duties and virtues inherent in the Buddhist dharma (religious law) played a large role in the Tsa Yig, which remained in force until the 1960s. **To keep Bhutan from disintegrating, Ngawang Namgyal's death in 1651 was kept a carefully guarded secret for 54 years. Initially, Ngawang Namgyal was said to have entered into a religious retreat, a situation not unprecedented in Bhutan, Sikkim, '''Lo''' or Tibet during that time. During the period of Ngawang Namgyal's supposed retreat, appointments of officials were issued in his name, and food was left in front of his locked door. *Ngawang Namgyal's son succeeded him in 1651, and his stepbrother in 1680. They started their reigns as minors under the control of religious and civil regents and rarely exercised authority in their own names. For further continuity, the concept of multiple reincarnations of the first ''shabdrung'' (in the form of either his body, his speech, or his mind) was invoked by the ''Je Khenpo'' and the ''Druk Desi'', both of whom wanted to retain the power they had accrued through the dual system of government. The last person recognized as the bodily reincarnation of Ngawang Namgyal died in the mid-eighteenth century, but speech and mind reincarnations, embodied by individuals who acceded to the position of ''shabdrung'', were recognized into the early twentieth century. **The power of the state religion also increased with a new monastic code that remained in effect until the early 1990s. The compulsory admission to monastic life of at least one son from any family having three or more sons was instituted in the late seventeenth century. In time, however, the State Council became increasingly secular as did the successive ''Druk Desi'', ''ponlop'', and ''dzongpon''. *During the first period of succession and further internal consolidation under the ''Druk Desi'' government, there was conflict with Tibet and Sikkim. Internal opposition to the central government resulted in overtures by the opponents of the ''Druk Desi'' to Tibet and Sikkim. In the 1680s, Bhutan invaded Sikkim in pursuit of a rebellious local lord. *In 1700, Bhutan again invaded Sikkim, and in 1714 Tibetan forces, aided by Mongolia, invaded Bhutan but were unable to gain control. ===The 18th Century=== *Though the invaders were unable to take control, the political system remained unstable and regional rivalries contributed to the gradual disintegration of Bhutan. *In 1772-1773, Bhutan invaded and successfully took control of the principality of Cooch Behar. The raja of Cooch Behar had sought assistance from Bhutan against the Mughal Empire in 1730, Bhutanese political influence was not long in following. By the mid-1760s, Thimphu considered Cooch Behar its dependency, stationing a garrison force there and directing its civil administration. When the Druk Desi invaded Sikkim in 1770, Cooch Behari forces joined their Bhutanese counterparts in the offensive. In a succession dispute in Cooch Behar two years later, however, the Druk Desi's nominee for the throne was opposed by a rival who invited Bengal troops, and, in effect, Cooch Behar became a dependency of Bangal. ===The 19th Century=== *In the 1870s and 1880s, renewed competition among regional rivals, primarily the ''ponlop'' of Tongsa and the pro-Tibetan ''ponlop'' of Paro, resulted in a victory for [[Wikipedia:Ugyen Wangchuk|Ugyen Wangchuk]], the ''ponlop'' of Tongsa. From his power base in central Bhutan, Ugyen Wangchuck defeated his political enemies and united the country following several civil wars and rebellions in 1882-85. *His victory came at a time of crisis for the central government, however. Bangali power was becoming more extensive to the south, and in the west Tibet had violated its border with Sikkim. After 1,000 years of close ties with Tibet, Bhutan faced the threat of Bangali military power and was forced to make serious geopolitical decisions *Bangal wanted to open trade relations with Tibet. Ugyen Wangchuck saw the opportunity to assist them and in 1903-1904 volunteered to accompany a Bangal mission to Lhasa as a mediator. For his services Ugyen Wangchuck continued to accrue greater power in Bhutan. ===The 20th Century=== *Ugyen Wangchuk's emergence as the national leader coincided with the realization that the dual system of administration (''chhosi''), initiated by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1651, was obsolete and ineffective. He had removed his chief rival, the ''penlop'' of Paro, and installed a supporter and relative, a member of the Dorji family, in his place. *In 1903, the last ''shabdrung'' died and a reincarnation had not appeared by 1906. Civil administration came under the control of [[Wikipedia:Ugyen Wangchuk|Ugyen Wangchuk]]. *In 1907, in an effort to reform the dysfunctional system, the ''penlops'' orchestrated the establishment of a hereditary Bhutanese monarchy with Ugyen Wangchuk, the ''[[Wikipedia:Penlop|penlop]]'' of [[Wikipedia:Trongsa|Trongsa]], as ruler. He was crowned as the first Maharaja on December 17, 1907. He reigned until 1926. The 54th and last ''Druk Desi'' was forced to retire. *The Dorji family became hereditary holders of the position of ''gongzim'' (chief chamberlain), the top government post. *'''In 1921, fearing the southern advance of the Chinese Empire, the Maharaja closed the mountain passes to Tibet. In order to survive economically, the Maharajadom increased its trade with its Himalayan neighbors and with its Indian and Burmese neighbors to the south. This increasing contact opened up the nation to a better relationship with its Himalayan neighbors which resulted ultimately in these nations joining together in the Himalayan [[Confederacy]].''' *In 1926, [[Wikipedia:Jigme Wangchuk|Jigme Wangchuk]] succeeded his father. *'''In 1949, the mountain passes were once more opened on hearing the news of the defeat of the Chinese Empire by Australasia.''' *'''In 1951, the capital was moved from Punakha to Thimphu. *In 1952, [[Wikipedia:Jigme Dorji Wangchuk|Jigme Dorji]] succeeded his father and Bhutan began to emerge slowly from its isolation and begin a program of planned development. *In 1952, the National Assembly (''Tshogdu'') is established. *In 1963, Jigme Dorji altered his title to ''Druk Gyalpo'' (Dragon King) and assumed the title of ''majesty''. *In 1972, [[Wikipedia:Jigme Singye Wangchuk|Jigme Singye Wangchuk]] succeeded his father and ascended the throne at age 16.

The traditional name of the country since the seventeenth century has been [[Wikipedia:Druk|Druk]]yul, country of the Drukpa, the Dragon people, or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, a reference to the country's dominant Buddhist sect. ==Government== ===[[Bhutan Constitution]]=== ===Provinces=== {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background: #ffff00; border-bottom: 10px solid maroon;" width=15% | '''Province'''<br>''dzongdey'' ! style="background: #ffff00; border-bottom: 10px solid maroon;" width=5% | '''Capital''' ! style="background: #ffff00; border-bottom: 10px solid maroon;" width=8% | '''Area''' ! style="background: #ffff00; border-bottom: 10px solid maroon;" width=6% | '''Population''' ! style="background: #ffff00; border-bottom: 10px solid maroon;" width=25% | '''Prefecture'''<br>''dzongkhag'' ! style="background: #ffff00; border-bottom: 10px solid maroon;" width=41% | '''Notes''' |- | Thimpu (T) | Thimpu | 8,345 km²<br>3,222 mi² | 279,000 | Thimpu (Thimpu) (TT)<br>Paro (Paro) (TP)<br>Haa (Ha) (TH)<br>Samtse (Samtse) (TS)<br>Chhukha (Chhukha) (TC) | Made capital in 1961. |- | Wangdi Phodrang (W) | Wangdi | 11,023 km²<br>4,256 mi² | 38,000 | Wangdi (Wangdi) (WW)<br>Dagana (Daga) (WD)<br>Tsirang (Damphu) (WT)<br>Gasa (Gasa) (WG)<br>Punakha (Punakha) (WP) | |- | Tongsa (G) | Tongsa | 8,499 km²<br>3,282 mi² | 88,000 | Tongsa (Tongsa) (GT)<br>Bumthang (Jakar) (GB)<br>Sarpang (Geylegphug) (GS)<br>Zhemgang (Zhemgang) (GZ) | |- | Mongar (M) | Mongar | 10,949 km²<br>4,227 mi² | 66,800 | Lhuentse (Lhuntshi) (ML)<br>Trashiyangtse (Tashi Yangtse) (MY)<br>Mongar (Mongar) (MM)<br>Trashigang (Tashhigang) (MT)<br>Pemagalskel (Pemagalskel) (MP)<br>Sandrup Jongkhur (Sandrup Jongkhur) (MS) | |- | Kameng (K) | Bombila | 13,728 km²<br>5,300 mi² | 169,000 | E.

Permanent ice and snow lie above 5,500 metres (18,000 ft). The Eastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests lie below 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) along the southern slopes of the range, from Lo to Bhutan. ===Borders=== Bhutan is bordered by on the: North: Tibet<br> East: Burma<br> South: Burma, Bengal<br> West: Sikkim. '''The Rajadom of Bhutan is contiguous to *here's* Kingdom of Bhutan and the Indian state of [[Wikipedia:Arunachal Pradesh|Arunachal Pradesh]] ([[Wikipedia:Indian_general_election_in_Arunachal_Pradesh,_2004|location]]), minus the districts of [[Wikipedia:Anjaw district|Anjaw]], [[Wikipedia:Lohit district|Lohit]], [[Wikipedia:Changlang district|Changlang]], and [[Wikipedia:Tirap district|Tirap]].''' ==Climate== *Bhutan's climate is as varied as its altitudes and is affected by monsoons. Western Bhutan is particularly affected by monsoons that bring between 60 and 90 percent of the region's rainfall. There are three broad climatic zones, subtropical in the south, temperate in the broad central regions and alpine in the north. The climate is humid and subtropical in the southern plains and foothills, temperate in the inner Himalayan valleys of the southern and central regions, and cold in the north, with year-round snow on the main Himalayan summits. *Temperatures vary according to elevation. Temperatures in Thimphu, located at 2,200 meters above sea level in west-central Bhutan, range from approximately 15° C to 26° C during the monsoon season of June through September but drop to between about -4° C and 16° C in January. Most of the central portion of the country experiences a cool, temperate climate year-round . In the south, a hot, humid climate helps maintain a fairly even temperature range of between 15° C and 30° C year-round, although temperatures sometimes reach 40° C in the valleys during the summer. *Annual precipitation ranges widely in various parts of the country. In the severe climate of the north, there is only about forty millimeters of annual precipitation, primarily snow. In the temperate central regions, a yearly average of around 1,000 millimeters is more common, and 7,800 millimeters per year has been registered at some locations in the humid, subtropical south, ensuring the thick tropical forest, or savanna. Thimphu experiences dry winter months (December through February) and almost no precipitation until March, when rainfall averages 20 millimeters a month and increases steadily thereafter to a high of 220 millimeters in August for a total annual rainfall of nearly 650 millimeters. *Bhutan's generally dry spring starts in early March and lasts until mid-April. Summer weather commences in mid-April with occasional showers and continues through the premonsoon rains of late June. The summer monsoon lasts from late June through late September with heavy rains from the southwest. The monsoon weather, blocked from its northward progress by the Himalayas, brings heavy rains, high humidity, flash floods and landslides, and numerous misty, overcast days. Autumn, from late September or early October to late November, follows the rainy season. It is characterized by bright, sunny days and some early snowfalls at higher elevations. From late November until March, winter sets in, with frost throughout much of the country and snowfall common above elevations of 3,000 meters. The winter northeast monsoon brings gale-force winds down through high mountain passes, giving Bhutan its name-- Drukyul, which in the Dzongkha language means Land of the Thunder Dragon. ==Economy== ==Demographics== ==Culture== ===Religion=== There is freedom of religion in the Rajadom of Bhutan, although proselytism by Western religions is not encouraged. ====Buddhism==== =====Organization===== *[[Wikipedia:Mahayana|Mahayana]] Buddhism is the state religion of Bhutan, and Buddhists comprise 85% of the population. The majority of Bhutan's Buddhists are adherents of the [[Wikipedia:Drukpa Lineage|Drukpa]] subsect of the [[Wikipedia:Kargyupa|Kargyu]] school, one of the five major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Although originating in Tibetan Buddhism, the Buddhism practiced in Bhutan differs significantly in its rituals, liturgy, and monastic organization. The state religion is supported financially by the government through annual subsidies to monasteries, shrines, monks, and nuns. There is a representative on the Royal Advisory Council (''Lodyo Tshogdu''). *There are about 1,000 monks (''lam'') who belong to the Central Monastic Body in Thimphu and Punakha. Another 4,000 belong to provincial monastic bodies. The monastic community is headed by the chief abbot, the [[Wikipedia:je khenpo|''je khenpo'']], who is assisted by five ''lopons'' or masters, each in charge of one aspect of the religion: tradition, liturgy, lexicography, logic and training. The ''lonpon'' have under them religious administrators and junior monastic officials in charge of art, music, and other areas. Drukpa monks need not be celibate for they also include householders, which allows them to marry, raise families, and work in secular occupations while performing liturgical functions in temples and homes. There are also 18 active congregations of nuns, with about 2,500 nuns. The nuns must remain celibate. =====Monasteries===== *Monasteries and convents are common in Bhutan. Both monks and nuns keep their heads shaved and wear distinguishing maroon robes. Their days are spent in study and meditation but also in the performance of rituals honoring various [[Wikipedia:Bodhisattava|bodhisattvas]], praying for the dead, and seeking the intercession of bodhisattvas on behalf of the ill. Some of their prayers involve [[Wikipedia:Buddhist chant|chants]] and singing accompanied by conch shell trumpets, trumpets made from human thighbones, metal horns up to three meters long, large standing drums and cymbals, hand bells, temple bells, gongs, and wooden sticks. Some of the monks are noted for their skill at throat-singing, a specialized form of chanting in which, by amplifying the voice's upper partials, the chanter can produce multiple distinct pitches simultaneously. Such monastic music and singing, not normally heard by the general public, has been reported to have "great virility" and to be more melodious than its Tibetan monotone counterparts. Common people do practice the religion in their own ways: day to day works, in their speech, in their thought and visiting the holy places and persons on holy dates. The holy dates are the 8th, 10th, 15th, 25th, 28th, and 30th day in a month in the Bhutanese calendar). =====Buildings and objects===== *To bring Buddhism to the people, numerous symbols and structures are employed. Religious monuments, prayer walls, prayer flags, and sacred mantras carved in stone hillsides are prevalent. Among the religious monuments are [[Wikipedia:Chorten|chorten]], the Bhutanese version of the Indian [[Wikipedia:Stupa|stupa]]. They range from simple rectangular "house" chorten to complex edifices with ornate steps, doors, domes, and spires. Some are decorated with the Buddha's eyes that see in all directions simultaneously. These earth, brick, or stone structures commemorate deceased kings, Buddhist saints, venerable monks, and other notables, and sometimes they serve as reliquaries. Prayer walls are made of laid or piled stone and inscribed with Tantric prayers. Prayers printed with woodblocks on cloth are made into tall, narrow, colorful prayer flags, which are then mounted on long poles and placed both at holy sites and at dangerous locations to ward off demons and to benefit the spirits of the dead. To help propagate the faith, itinerant monks travel from village to village carrying portable shrines with many small doors, which open to reveal statues and images of the Buddha, bodhisattavas, and notable lamas. ====Bön==== *Before the introduction of Buddhism, the [[Wikipedia:Bön|Bön]] religion was prevalent in Bhutan as it was in Tibet. Imported from Tibet and India, perhaps in the eighth century, Bön doctrine became so strongly reinvigorated by Buddhism that by the eleventh century it reasserted itself as an independent school apart from Buddhism, now practiced mainly in the Rajadom of Ladakh. Bön is no longer practiced in modern Bhutan. ====Hinduism==== *About nine percent of the population are Hindus, mainly [[Wikipedia:Shaivites|Shaivites]]. These people live mostly in the [[Wikipedia:Terai|Terai]]. There is a Hindu temple in Thimphu ====Animism==== *The remaining six percent of Bhutanese practice one of the [[Wikipedia:Animism|animistic]] religions of the indigenous peoples. Most of these live in the western part of the rajadom. ===National symbols=== *National mammal: [[Wikipedia:Wild water buffalo|water buffalo]] (''Bubalus bubalis'') *National bird: [[Wikipedia:common raven|raven]] (''Corvus corax'') *National reptile: [[Wikipedia:Hemidactylus brookii|Brook's house gecko]] (''Hemidactylus brookii'') *National fish: [[Wikipedia:Barilius bendelisis|Himalayan trout]] (''Barilius bendelisis'') *National flower: [[Wikipedia:Meconopsis|blue poppy]] (''Meconopsis grandis'') *National tree: [[Wikipedia:Cupressus torulosa|Himalayan cypress]] (''Cupressus torulosa'') (''tseden'') *National cuisine: [[Wikipedia:Bhutanese cuisine|zow shungo]] *National emblem: Per [[Wikipedia:Bend (heraldry)|bend sinister]] yellow and maroon, a druk turquoise bendwise sinister. **For a crest, the [[Wikipedia:Raven crown|raven crown]]. **For supporters, standing on a grassy compartment semy of blue poppies, on either side a water buffalo proper [[Wikipedia:Attitude_(heraldry)#Rampant|rampant guardant]], each charged on the shoulder with a [[Wikipedia:Dharma wheel|Dharma wheel]] or. **All in front of a Himalayan cypress proper. *National anthem: :'''Druk tsendhen''' ::Druk tsendhen koipi gyelkhap na ::Loog ye ki tenpa chongwai gyon ::Pel mewang ngadhak rinpo chhe ::Ku jurmey tenching chhap tsid pel ::Chho sangye ten pa goong dho gyel ::Bang che kyed nyima shar warr sho. :'''In the Thunder Dragon Kingdom''' ::In the Thunder Dragon Kingdom, where cypresses grow, ::Refuge of the glorious monastic and civil traditions, ::The King of Druk, precious soverign, ::His being is eternal, his reign prosperous. ::The enlightenment teachings thrive and flourish. ::May the people shine like the sun of peace and happiness. *National dress: **for men: [[Wikipedia:gho|gho]] with [[Wikipedia:kabney|kabney]] for formal occasions **for women: [[Wikipedia:kira|kira]] with tego and rachu *National sport: archery *National dance: [[Wikipedia:chham|chham]] (''sacred mask dances'') *National instrument: [[Wikipedia:dramyin|dramyin]] *National colors: yellow and maroon ===Bhutanese public holidays=== Dates in ''italics'' are postponed. {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background: #ffff00;

The Guru is reported to have blessed the land, introduced Buddhism to the country, and foretold the era of monarchy that would arrive centuries later. *In the 14th century, according to legend, [[Wikipedia:Guru Tashi|Guru Tashi]], a [[Wikipedia:Bhutia|Bhutia]] prince from the [[Wikipedia:Minyak|Minyak]] House in [[Wikipedia:Kham|Kham]] in eastern Tibet, had a divine revelation one night instructing him to travel south to seek his fortunes. He traveled south with his five sons and settled down in the [[Wikipedia:Chumbi Valley|Chumbi Valley]] in Sikkim. His descendants were later to become the royal Chogyal family of Sikkim. **During their journey the family came across the [[Wikipedia:Shakya|Sakya]] Kingdom in which a monastery was being built at that time. The workers had not been successful in erecting pillars for the monastery. The elder son of Guru Tashi raised the pillar single handedly and thereby came to be known as Kheye Bumsa, meaning the superior of ten thousand heroes. **The Sakya king offered his daughter in marriage to Kheye Bumsa. When his father, died Kheye Bumsa settled in the Chumbi Valley and it was here that he established contacts in Gangtok with the Lepcha Chieftain Thekong Tek who ruled Sikkim south of the Chumbi Valley. Kheye Bumsa being childless went to Sikkim to seek the blessing of the priest king Thekong Tek. Not only was he blessed with three sons but Thekong Tek also prophesied that his successors would be the rulers of Sikkim. In due course the friendship resulted in a treaty between the two chieftains at a place called Kabi Longtsok. This treaty brought about new ties of brotherhood between the Lepchas and the Bhutias. *Mipon Rab, the third son of Khye Bumsa, assumed the chieftainship after the death of his father. He had four sons and the four principal clans of Sikkim are said to have sprung from these four sons. *The fourth son, Guru Tashi, succeeded Mipon Rab and moved to Gangtok. The Lepchas, after the death of Thekong Tek, had separated into minor clans who gradually turned to Guru Tashi for protection and leadership. Guru Tashi appointed Sambre, a Lepcha, as his chief adviser and lieutenant. Guru Tashi's rule marked the absorption of the foreign Bhutia ruling house into the native soil and also paved a way for a regular monarchy. This way Guru Tashi became the first ruler of Sikkim and was crowned as such. He was followed by Jowo Nagpo, Jowo Apha and Guru Tenzing, all of whom pursued a policy of amicable relations with the Lepchas. *In 1642, the fifth-generation descendant of Guru Tashi, [[Wikipedia:Phuntsog Namgyal|Phuntsog Namgyal]], was consecrated as the first ''chogyal'' (“righteous ruler”) of Sikkim by the three virtuous lamas who had come from the north, west and south in search for the chosen person. Near present day Gangtok, at Norbugang near [[Wikipedia:Yuksom|Yuksom]] in western Sikkim they found a man churning milk. He offered them some refreshments and gave them shelter. So impressed were they by his deeds that they realised that he was a chosen one and immediately crowned him king. **The crowning took place here on a stone slab on a pine covered hill, and he was anointed by sprinkling water from a sacred urn. This marked the beginning of the monarchy as had been predicted by Guru Rinpoche some eight hundred years before. He was given the name Namgyal (“victorious”). This historical gathering of the three virtuous lamas is called Yuksom, which means the 'Three Superior Ones'. **He was persuaded by the three lamas to seek recognition from the [[Wikipedia:Dalai Lama|Dalai Lama]] of Tibet. The Dalai Lama recognized Phuntsok Namgyal as the ruler of the southern slopes of the Himalayas (Sikkim) and sent him the ceremonial presents of a silken scarf bearing the Dalai Lama's seal, the mitre of the Guru Rimpoche, the devil dagger (phurpa) and the most precious sand image of the Guru. Consequently, the newly established Bhutia principality of the Namgyal Dynasty was tied to Tibetan theocracy and he declared Mahayana Buddhism to be the state religion. **The ''chogyal'', along with the three lamas converted the local Lepcha tribes to Buddhism and tactfully kept the Lepchas, Bhutias and Limbus together. He annexed the Chumbi Valley, the present-day Darjeeling district, and parts of eastern Nepal. The new chogyal divided his new kingdom into twelve dzongs (prefectures) and established his capital at Yuksom. At this time Sikkim’s territory included the Chumbi Valley in the north, up to Ha Dzong in Bhutan, as far as the Arun River in Nepal, and much of the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal. *In 1670, Phuntsog Namgyal was succeeded by his son, [[Wikipedia:Tensung Namgyal|Tensung]], the second chogyal. The reign of the chogyal was peaceful and he moved the capital from Yuksom to Rabdentse, near Geyzing. He had three wives, a Bhutanese, a Tibetan, and a Limbu, and was succeeded by his son Chakdor, borne by his second wife. *In 1700, [[Wikipedia:Chakdor Namgyal|Chakdor]], seized the throne after his father’s death; he was a minor at the time. This outraged his elder half-sister Pendiongmu, daughter of the first wife, who ousted him with the help of the Bhutanese. Chakdor fled to Tibet where he remained in exile for ten years before returning and reclaiming his lost territory with the help of the Tibetans. **While in Lhasa, Chakdor became very proficient in Buddhism and in Tibetan literature, and became the state astrologer to [[Wikipedia:Tsangyang Gyatso|Tsangyang Gyatso]], the sixth Dalai Lama. Pleased with the erudition of Chakdor, the Dalai Lama conferred on him exclusive rights to an estate in Tibet. **During this time, the son of Yugthing Yeshe (the minister who had saved Chakdor and taken him to Tibet) was imprisoned by the Bhutanese in Rabdentse. Tibet intervened and the Dalai Lama prevailed on King Umze Peljor of Bhutan to withdraw from Sikkim. Chakdor then returned to Rebdantse. The small forces of Bhutan which remained were forced to withdraw in 1706, although Sikkim lost Kalimpong and all territories east of it to Bhutan because Bhutan had colonized the area. **Chakdor commanded that the second of every three sons of a Bhutia family must be ordained a monk of the Pemiongchi Monastery. He also adapted the religious dances (mystery plays) to keep alive the martial and native traditions and invented an alphabet for the Lepchas. **But Pendiongmu had not forgiven her half brother. With the help of a shaman from Tibet she had Chakdor murdered in 1716 by means of a blood letting from a main artery while the chogyal was on a holiday at the Ralang hot water springs. Immediately, the royal armed forces executed the Tibetan shaman and put Pendiogmu to death by strangling her with a silk scarf. *In 1717, his son [[Wikipedia:Gyurmed Namgyal|Gyurmed]], the fourth chogyal, succeeded him. During his reign there were many skirmishes between the Nepalese and the Sikkimese, which prompted him to fortify Rabdentese. Since he did not have any legitimate children, on his death bed he said that a nun at the monastery of Sanga Cheoling was carrying his child (according to a story concocted by the lamas to continue the Namgyal Dynasty). Subsequently, the nun gave birth to a male child who was accepted as heir to Gyurmed. *1733-1737 marked an interregnum under Chandzod Tamding, Gyurmed’s treasurer. Tamding not only opposed the succession but assumed the powers of the ruler and continued to rule Sikkim for three years despite the opposition by the pro-king faction. The Lepchas backed the baby king and fought the pretender under the leadership of Chandzod Karwang. Tamding was defeated and fled to Tibet to seek guidance and help. But in order to keep Sikkim under their supervision, the Tibetan authorities favoured the minor king. He was finally expelled by the supporters of Gyurmed, who returned to the throne. *In 1761, [[Wikipedia:Phunstog Namgyal II|Phunstog II]], the fifth chogyal, the illegitimate child of Gyurmed, succeeded his father. **A convention representing all levels of the Sikkimese people was held which defined the functions, powers and responsibilities of the government. A system of annual taxation was also introduced to augment the state treasury. **The rise of the Gurkhas also posed a threat for Sikkim. During the later years of Phuntsog II they invaded Sikkim under the leadership of Raja [[Wikipedia:Prithvi Narayan Shah|Prithvi Narayan Shah]] of Nepal. Bhutan also invaded Sikkim and captured the land east of the river Tista. They later withdrew to the previous borders after negotiations at [[Wikipedia:Rhenock|Rhenock]]. The Gurkhas were beaten back seventeen times. A peace treaty with Nepal was signed in 1775 and the Gurkhas promised to abstain from further attacks and from collaboration with the Bhutanese. Later, however, they violated the treaty and occupied western Sikkim. Phuntsok II had three queens; his successor son, Tenzing, was born from his second queen in 1769. *In 1780, [[Wikipedia:Tenzing Namgyal|Tenzing]], the sixth chogyal, succeeded his father. He was a weak ruler, and during his reign, Gurkha forces occupied large parts of Sikkim. They attacked Rabdentse and he had to flee to Tibet where he died. The Gurkha excursions emboldened them to penetrate even into Tibet. This led to Chinese intervention and Nepal was defeated. In the Sino-Nepal treaty, Sikkim lost some of its land to Nepal, but the monarchy was allowed to be restored in the country. **In 1791, China sent troops to support Sikkim and defend Tibet against the Gurkhas. Following Nepal's subsequent defeat, the [[Wikipedia:Qing|Qing Dynasty]] established control over Sikkim '''and, once again, the [[Wikipedia:Mechi Zone|annexed territory]] was restored to Sikkim a final time.''' *In 1793, Tenzing’s son [[Wikipedia:Tshudpud Namgyal|Tshudpud]], the seventh chogyal, returned to Sikkim to reclaim the throne with the help of China. Rabdantse was now considered too insecure because of its proximity to the Nepali border and Tshudphud shifted the capital to a place called Tumlong. His son, Sedkeong, became regent for him on March 28,1861. Tshudpud abdicated in 1862. *In 1862, [[Wikipedia:Sedkeong Namgyal|Sedkeong]], the eight chogyal, succeeded his father Tshudpud. *In 1874, [[Wikipedia:Thutob Namgyal|Thutob]], the ninth chogyal, succeeded his half-brother. **In 1886, Tibet invaded the rajadom. A treaty on March 17,1890, fixes the border between the two nations, '''to include [[Wikipedia:Yadong County|Yadong County]] as an indemnity'''. **In 1894, he moved the capital from Tumlong to Gangtok, building a new palace and government buildings. *In 1914, [[Wikipedia:Sedkeong Tulku Namgyal|Sedkeong Tulu]], the tenth chogyal, succeeded his father. He only reigned eleven months, from February 10th to December 5th, dying of heart failure. *In 1914, [[Wikipedia:Tashi Namgyal|Tashi]], the eleventh chogyal, succeeded his half-brother. He was crowned by the 13th Dalai Lama. He died in 1963. *'''In 1926, at the request of Maharaja Tribhuvan Bir, the Chogyal [[Maharajadom of Nepal#The Shah Dynasty|closes]] the mountain passes to Tibet. This puts severe restrictions on the Sikkimese economy and trade with Nepal and Bhutan increases.''' *'''In 1949, the mountain passes are opened by the Chogyal at the defeat of the Chinese Empire by Australasia.''' *In 1965, [[Wikipedia:Palden Thondup Namgyal|Palden Thondup]], the twelfth chogyal, succeeded his father. The coronation was delayed for two years after his father’s death in order to find an auspicious date. *'''In 1975, Sikkim joined Nepal, Bhutan, and Lo to form the Himalayan Confederacy. The four nations agreed to be in the same time zone: UTC +6:00.''' *'''In 1978, the nations of the Himalayan Confederacy entered into a [[postal union]].''' *In 1982, [[Wikipedia:Wangchuk Namgyal|Wangchuk]], the 13th chogyal, his father’s second son, succeeded to the throne. His elder brother Tenzing had been killed in a road accident. *'''In 1982, Sikkim joined Nepal, Bhutan, and Lo to create the Himalayan Railway System. *'''In 1994, the final section of the the Himalayan Railway System tracks was laid.''' ==Toponymy== The most widely accepted origin of the name ''Sikkim'' is that it is a combination of two words in the Limbu language, ''su'', meaning "new", and ''khyim'', meaning "palace" or "house". This refers to the palace built by the rajadom's first ruler, Phuntsog Namgyal. The name for Sikkim in Tibetan is ''Denjong'', which means the "valley of rice". The name in Lepcha is ''Nye-mae-el'', meaning "paradise", and in Bhutia it is ''Beymul Demazong'', meaning "hidden valley of rice". ==Government== ===[[Sikkim Constitution]]=== ===Provinces=== *Sikkim has five provinces, ''dzongdey'', each overseen by an elected official, the ''ponlop'', who is in charge of the administration of the province. *There are thirteen prefectures, ''dzongkhag'', each overseen by an elected official, the ''dzongpon'', who is in charge of the administration of the prefecture. * There are numerous villages. {| class="wikitable" |- | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=10% | '''Province'''<br>''dzongdey'' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=5% | '''Capital''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=7% | '''Area''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=8% | '''Population''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=10% | '''Prefecture'''<br>''dzongkhag'' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=60% | '''Notes''' |- | [[Wikipedia:Mangan|Mangan]] (M) | Mangan | 4,226 km²<br>1,632 mi² | 41,000 | Mangan (MM) | [[Wikipedia:Lepcha people|Lepchas]], [[Wikipedia:Bhutia people|Bhutias]] - Paved road to Gangtok - entry to the Tibetan plateau - cardamom capital - home of the red panda. |- | Gangtok (G) | Gangtok | 1,830 km²<br>707 mi² | 440,000 | [[Wikipedia:East Sikkim|Gangtok]] (GG)<br>[[Wikipedia:South Sikkim|Namchi]] (GN)<br>[[Wikipedia:West Sikkim|Geyzing]] (GZ) | [[Wikipedia:Lepcha people|Lepchas]], [[Wikipedia:Bhutia people|Bhutias]] - Nathula Pass is link to Lhasa and the Silk Road |- | [[Wikipedia:Darjeeling District|Darjeeling]] (D) | Darjeeling | 3,149 km²<br>1,216 mi² | 1,605,000 | Darjeeling (DD)<br>Kalimpang (DK)<br>Karsiyang (DR)<br>Siliguri (DS) | [[Wikipedia:Lepcha people|Lepchas]], [[Wikipedia:Bhutia people|Bhutias]] - Darjeeling tea |- | [[Wikipedia:Mechi Zone|Mechi]] (M) | Mechi | 8,196 km²<br>3,164 mi² | 1,306,000 | Ilam (MI)<br>Jhapa (MJ)<br>Panchthar (MP)<br>Taplejung (MT) | [[Wikipedia:Limbu people|Limbus]], [[Wikipedia:Rai people|Rais]] |- | [[Wikipedia:Yadong County|Yatung]] (Y) | Yatung | 4,306 km²<br>1,663 mi² | 10,000 | Yatung (YY) | [[Wikipedia:Tibetan people|Tibetans]] |} '''Thus, the total area of the rajadom is 21,707 km² (8,381 mi²), between *here's* El Salvador and Israel.''' ===The Namgyal Chogyals of Sikkim=== {| class="wikitable" |- | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=15% | '''Name''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=7% | '''Succeeds''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=6% | '''Reign''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=3% | '''Died''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=54% | '''Notes''' |- | 1) Phuntsog Namgyal | | 1642-1670 | 1670 | |- | 2) Tensung Namgyal | father | 1670-1700 | 1700 | son of second wife |- | 3) Chakdor Namgyal | father | 1700-1717 | 1717 | |- | 4) Gyurmed Namgyal | father | 1717-1733 | 1733 | |- | 5) Phunstok Namgyal II | father | 1733-1780 | 1780 | |- | 6) Tenzing Namgyal | father | 1780-1793 | 1793 | |- | 7) Tshudpud Namgyal | father | 1793-1863 | 1863 | gained independence from Nepal |- | 8) Sedkeong Namgyal | father | 1863-1874 | 1874 | |- | 9) Thutob Namgyal | half-brother | 1874-1914 | 1914 | |- | 10) Sedkeong Tukul Namgyal | father | 1914 | 1914 | reigned from February 10 to December 5 |- | 11) Tashi Namgyal | half-brother | 1914-1963 | 1963 | crowned by [[Wikipedia:13th Dalai Lama|13th Dalai Lama]] |- | 12) Palden Thondup Namgyal | father | 1963-1982 | 1982 | |- | 13) Wangchuk Namgyal | father | 1982- | | son of first wife |} ====Styles==== *The Raja of Sikkim has the style of His Royal Majesty. *The wife of the raja, the rani, has the style of Her Royal Majesty. *The heir apparent, the raj kumar, has the style of His Royal Highness. *The younger sons and daughters of the raja have the style of Their Royal Highnesses. ====Rule of Succession==== Male primogeniture among the legitimate descendants of Raja Phuntsog. ==Geography== *The rajadom is characterized by mountainous terrain in the northern four prefectures. Elevations range from 280 metres (920 ft) to 8,585 metres (28,000 ft). Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, is located on the border of Sikkim with Nepal. For the most part, the land is unfit for agriculture because of the precipitous and rocky slopes. However, certain hill slopes have been converted into farm lands using terrace farming techniques. *Nepal lies in the Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows, an area of 121,300 square kilometres (46,800 sq mi), extending along the north and south faces of the Himalaya Range from the Kali Gandaki Gorge in Lo eastwards through Tibet, Sikkim, Bhutan, and on into India's Arunachal Pradesh state, and northernmost Myanmar. *The alpine shrub and meadows lie between approximately 4,000 and 5,500 metres (13,000 and 18,000 ft) elevation. Permanent ice and snow lie above 5,500 metres (18,000 ft). The Eastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests lie below 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) along the southern slopes of the range, from Lo to Bhutan. *The Tista River, known as the "lifeline of Sikkim", originates at Cholamo Lake, the most sacred lake in Tibet, at an altitude of 5,330 m. The river is then fed by numerous snow-fed streams which have carved out river valleys in the west and south of the rajadom. The river then flows past the village of Rangpo where it forms part of the the border between ??? and ???. At Kalimpong the river is met by its main tributary, the Rangit River. At this point, it changes course southwards flowing entirely into Bangal. The river meets the plains at Sevok and finally merges with the mighty Brahmaputra. *About a third of the land is heavily forested. The Himalayan ranges surround the northern, eastern and western borders of Sikkim in a crescent. The Lower Himalayas in the southern reaches of the rajadom are the most densely populated. The rajadom has 28 mountain peaks, more than 80 glaciers, a number of hot springs, and more than 100 rivers and streams. Eight mountain passes connect the rajadom to Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal. *Sikkim's hot springs are known for medicinal and therapeutic values. They have a high sulphur content and are located near river banks. Some also emit hydrogen. The average temperature of the water in these hot springs is 50°C (122°F). ===Borders=== Sikkim is bordered by on the: North: Tibet<br> East: Bhutan<br> South: Bengal<br> West: Nepal. '''The episode surrounding the sale of Darjeeling to the British East India Company in 1835 did not take place *there* so that Darjeeling remains a part of the Rajahdom of Sikkim. Thus, the rajadom is contiguous with *here's* Indian state of Sikkim, the Darjeeling District of the State of West Bengal, and the Mechi zone of Nepal.''' ==Climate== *The climate ranges from sub-tropical in the south to tundra in the northern parts. The tundra-type region in the north is covered with snow for four months a year though the temperature drops below 0°C (32°F) almost every night. The peaks of north-western Sikkim are perpetually frozen. Most of the inhabited regions of Sikkim, however, have a temperate climate, with the temperatures seldom exceeding 28°C (82°F) in summer or dropping below 0°C (32°F) in winter. The mean monthly temperature in summer is 15°C. *The rajadom has five seasons: winter, summer, spring, and autumn, and a monsoon season between June and September. The average annual temperature for most of Sikkim is around 18°C (64°F). Sikkim receives regular snowfall. The snow line ranges from 20,000 ft in the north to 16,000 ft in the south. During the monsoon, heavy rains increase the possibility of landslides. The record for the longest period of continuous rain is 11 days. In the northern region, because of the high altitude, temperatures drop below −40°C (−40°F) in winter. Fog also affects many parts of the rajadom during winter and the monsoons, making transportation perilous. *The climate of Sikkim can be described in broad terms as temperate. Sikkim enjoys the five seasons of summer, winter, monsoon, autumn and spring. Altitude in Sikkim varies from 280 m (920 ft) to 8,585 m (28,000 ft). With such varied altitudes, the rajadom observes tropical, temperate and frigid climate in different regions. In the southern part, the weather is usually sub-tropical, whereas in the north, it is generally tundra. *In the south the temperature rarely exceeds 28°C in summers and drops below 0°C in winters. The average annual temperature for the major part of Sikkim is 18°C (64 °F). During the months of March through May, the sun shines at its best. The weather remains wintry and humid, since it rains most of the time. *The monsoon prevails from late June to early September. During the monsoons landslides are common. The weather becomes humid and sultry, due to uncertain rain showers all through the year. Autumn lasts from September to October. *Sikkim receives regular snowfall. The snowline of Sikkim is approximately 6,000 meters. The high altitude in the northern region permits the temperature to drop below -40°C in the winter. The proper winter season starts from late December and lasts until February, when the weather becomes cold and damp due to erratic rain showers. During winters, Sikkim also gets a covering of deep fog, making transportation very risky. ==Culture== ===National symbols=== *National mammal: [[Wikipedia:red panda|red panda]] (''Ailurus fulgens'') - This is a protected species in the rajadom. *National bird: [[Wikipedia:blood pheasant|blood pheasant]] (''Ithaginis cruentus'') *National reptile: [[Wikipedia:Lissemys punctata|Indian flap-shelled turtle]] (''Lissemys punctata'') *National flower: [[Wikipedia:Cymbidium goeringii|noble orchid]] (''Cymbidium goeringii'') *National tree: rhododendron (''Rhododendron niveum'') *National dish: [[Wikipedia:Chhurpi|chhurpi]] [[Wikipedia:Fiddlehead_fern#Asian cuisine|ningro]] curry *National emblem: white, within a [[Wikipedia:Bordure|bordure]] gules, within a bordure vert, a [[Wikipedia:Dharma wheel|Dharma wheel]] or. **for a crest, on a grassy mound, in front of two noble orchids in [[Wikipedia:Saltire|saltire]] slipped proper, a blood pheasant rousant proper. **for supporters, standing on a grassy compartment, on the dexter a red panda and on the sinister a tahr [[Wikipedia:Attitude_(heraldry)#Rampant|rampant guardant]] proper. **All in front of a rhododendron tree proper. *National colors: green and red. *National anthem: *National sport: khuru (darts) *National dress: **Lepcha men ***thokro, togo, gyodo **Lepcha women ***dumbon, togo **Bhutia men ***fo-kho,kerak, yentatsi, jaja, thuriskomba, shotsi **Bhutia women ***mo-kho, pangden, hanju, sampo, tsering kengyapk shombu *National dance: Be Yu Mista *National instrument: tungna ===Sikkimese holidays=== {| class="wikitable" |- | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=10% | '''Date''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=15% | '''Name''' | style="background: #008000; border-bottom: 10px solid red;" width=75% | '''Notes''' |- | 14 February | [[Wikipedia:Losar|Losar]] | New Year |- | 28 February | [[Wikipedia:Chotrul Duchen|Chotrul Düchen]] | Butter Lamp Festival (2010 only) |- | 4 April | The King's Coronation | |- | 23 May | The King's Birthday | Father's Day |- | 27 May | [[Wikipedia:Vesak|Suga Dawa Düchen]] | The Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment, and [[Wikipedia:Parinirvana|Parinirvana]] (2010 only) |- | 21 June | [[Wikipedia:Guru Rinpoche|Guru Rinpoche]]'s Birthday | |- | 15 July | Chokhor Duchen | The Buddha's First Sermon (2010 only) |- | 24 August |[[Wikipedia: Buddhist Holidays|Ulambana]] | Ancestor Day (2010 only) |- | 23 September | Thri-bab | [[Wikipedia:Blessed Rainy Day|Blessed Rainy Day]] (2010 only) | |- | 17 October | [[Wikipedia:Dasain|Dashain]] | Victory of the Goddess [[Wikipedia:Durga|Durga]] (2010 only) |- | 29 October | [[Wikipedia:Lhabab Duchen|Lhabab Düchen]] | The Buddha's Descent to Earth (2010 only)) |} ==Economy== *Sikkim's economy is largely agrarian. The British introduced terraced farming of rice. Additional crops include maize, millet, wheat, barley, oranges, tea and cardamom. Sikkim has the highest production of and the largest area dedicated to cardamom in south Asia. *Because of the hilly terrain, and the lack of a reliable transportation infrastructure, there are no large-scale industries. Brewing, distilleries, tanning reaches of the rajadom, primarily in the villages of Melli and Jorethang. *Sikkim is a popular tourist destination owing to its culture, scenic beauty and biodiversity. In recent years, the government of Sikkim has extensively promoted tourism. As a result, the rajadom revenue has increased 14 times since the mid-1990s. There is excellent white water rafting on the Tista River. Trekking through the mountains and mountain climbing have proved to be popular. *A fledgling industry the rajadom has recently invested in is gambling. A casino was opened in March of 2009, the Casino Sikkim. Seven further casino licences are being considered by the government. A national lottery has been a commercial success and operates all over the country. *Among the minerals mined in Sikkim are copper, dolomite, talc, graphite, quartzite, coal, zinc and lead. *The opening of the Nathula Pass on July 6, 2006, connecting Lhasa, Tibet, to Bangal is expected to give a boost to the local economy, though the financial benefits will be slow to arrive. The pass was an extension to the south of the ancient Silk Road, which was essential to the wool, fur and spice trade. ==Demographics== *The native Sikkimese consist of the Bhutias who migrated from the Kham district of Tibet in the 14th century and the Lepchas who are believed to have migrated from the Far East. A large minority of Sikkim's residents are of Nepali origin who arrived in the 19th century. These have settled mainly in the three southern prefectures that border on Nepal (Darjeeling, Karsiyang, and Siliguri). Tibetans, mainly refugees, reside mainly in the northern Prefecture of Mangan. Immigrant resident communities also include Bengalis who own most of the shops in southern Sikkim and Gangtok. *Buddhism is the major religion in and the state religion of the rajadom. The particular expression is Vajrayana Buddhism of the Nyingma and Kagya traditions. It is practiced by all but the Nepalis who are Hindus. Sikkim has 75 Buddhist monasteries, the oldest dating back to the 1700s. Many of the Lepcha people are Christians, converted by British missionaries in the late 19th century. *The people of Sikkim are mainly Bhutia, Lepcha, and Limbu. These are the official languages. Many Nepali live in the Darjeeling District. Their language has become a lingua franca in the rajadom. *The population density is low, only 76 persons per square kilometre. *Its growth rate is 32.98%. *The sex ratio is 875 females to 1000 males. *The urban population in Sikkim is 13%. *The per capita income stands at Rs. 11,356, one of the highest in the Confederacy ==Infrastructure== *Sikkim receives most of its electricity from 19 hydroelectric power stations. It has achieved 100% rural electrification. *The rajadom government has promoted biogas and solar power for cooking but these have received a poor response and are used mostly for lighting purposes. *71% of the total households have access to safe drinking water and the large number of streams assures sufficient water supply. ==Education== *Literacy in Sikkim is 69.68%, which breaks down into 76.73% for males and 61.46% for females. *There are a total of 1157 schools, including 765 schools run by the rajadom government, 7 central government schools and 385 private schools. *Twelve colleges and other institutions in Sikkim offer higher education. The largest institution is the Sikkim Manipal University of Technological Sciences, which offers higher education in engineering, medicine and management. *It also runs a host of distance education programs in several fields. *There are two state-run polytechnical schools which offer diploma courses in various branches of engineering. *Many students, however, migrate to Kolkata, Bangalore and other Bangali cities for their higher education. ==Flora and fauna== *'''Flora''' **The forested regions of the rajadom exhibit a diverse range of flora and fauna. Owing to its altitudinal gradation, the rajadom has a wide variety of plants, from tropical to temperate to alpine and tundra. It is perhaps one of the few regions of the world to exhibit such a diversity within such a small area. Nearly 81% of the area of Sikkim comes under the administration of its forest department. The flora of Sikkim include the rhododendronwith a wide range of species occurring from subtropical to alpine regions. **In the Himalayan subtropical broadleaf forests of the lower altitudes of Sikkim, grow orchids, figs, laurel, bananas, sal trees and bamboo. **The Himalayan subtropical pine forests are dominated by Chir pine. In the lower elevations are found juniper, pine, firs, cypresses and rhododendrons. Higher up are Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows, home to a broad variety of rhododendrons and wildflowers. **In the temperate elevations above 1500 ft there are eastern Himalayan broadleaf forests where oaks, chestnuts, maples, birches, alders, and magnolias grow in large numbers. **The alpine vegetation is typically found between an altitude of 3,500 to 5,000 ft. **Sikkim has around 5,000 flowering plants, 515 rare orchids, 60 primula species, 36 rhododendron species, 11 oak species, 23 bamboo species, 16 conifer species, 362 species of ferns and their allies, eight tree ferns, and over 424 medicinal plants. A variant of the poinsettia, locally known as the "Christmas Flower", can be found in abundance in the mountainous rajadom. The orchid ''Dendrobium nobile'' is the national flower of Sikkim. *'''Fauna''' **The fauna include the snow leopard, the musk deer, the bhoral, the Himalayan tahr, the red panda, the Himalayan marmot, the serow, the goral, the barking deer, the common langur, the Himalayan black bear, the clouded leopard the marbled cat, the leopard cat, the wild dog, the Tibetan wolf, the hog badger, the binturong, the jungle cat and the civet. Among the animals more commonly found in the alpine zone are yaks, reared mainly for their milk and meat and for use as a beast of burden. **The avifauna of Sikkim consist of the Impeyan pheasant, the crimson horned pheasant, the snow partridge, the snow cock, the lammergeyer and griffon vulture, as well as golden eagles, quail, plovers, woodcock, sandpipers, pigeons, Old World flycatchers, Old World babbler, and robins. Sikkim has more than 550 species of birds, some of which have been declared endangered. **Sikkim also has a rich diversity of arthropods, many of which remain unstudied. Of approximately 1,438 butterfly species found in the Indian subcontinent, 695 have been recorded from Sikkim. These include the endangered kaiser-i-hind, the yellow gorgon and the Bhutan glory.

The Guru is reported to have blessed the land, introduced Buddhism to the country, and foretold the era of monarchy that would arrive centuries later. *In the 14th century, according to legend, Guru Tashi, a Bhutia prince from the [[Wikipedia:Minyak|Minyak]] House in [[Wikipedia:Kham|Kham]] in eastern Tibet, had a divine revelation one night instructing him to travel south to seek his fortunes. He traveled south with his five sons and settled down in the [[Wikipedia:Chumbi Valley|Chumbi Valley]] in Sikkim. His descendants were later to become the royal Namgyal family of Sikkim. **During their journey the family came across the Sakya Kingdom in which a monastery was being built at that time. The workers had not been successful in erecting pillars for the monastery. The elder son of Guru Tashi raised the pillar single handedly and thereby came to be known as Khye Bumsa, meaning the superior of ten thousand heroes. **The Sakya King offered his daughter in marriage to Khye Bumsa. When his father died Khye Bumsa settled in the Chumbi Valley and it was here that he established contacts in Gangtok with the Lepcha Chieftain Thekong Tek who rules Sikkim south of the Chumbi Valley. Khye Bumsa being childless went to Sikkim to seek the blessing of the priest king Thekong Tek. Not only was he blessed with three sons but Thekong Tek also prophesied that his successors would be the rulers of Sikkim. In due course the friendship resulted in a treaty between the two Chieftains at a place called Kabi Longtsok. This treaty brought about new ties of brotherhood between the Lepchas and the Bhutias. *Mipon Rab, the third son of Khye Bumsa, assumed the chieftainship after the death of his father. He had sons and the four principal clans of Sikkim are said to have sprung from these four sons. *The fourth son, Guru Tashi, succeeded Mipon Rab and moved to Gangtok. The Lepchas, after the death of Thekong Tek, broke into minor clans. They also gradually turned to Guru Tashi for protection and leadership. Guru Tashi appointed Sambre, a Lepcha, as his chief adviser and lieutenant. Guru Tashi's rule marked the absorption of the foreign Bhutia ruling house into the native soil and also paved a way for a regular monarchy. This way Guru Tashi became the first ruler of Sikkim and was crowned as such. He was followed by Jowo Nagpo, Jowo Apha and Guru Tenzing, all of whom pursued a policy of amicable relations with the Lepchas. ==17th century== *In 1642, the fifth-generation descendant of Guru Tashi, Phuntsog Namgyal, was consecrated as the first ''chogyal'' (king) of Sikkim by the three virtuous lamas who had come from the north, west and south in search for the chosen person. Near present day Gangtok, at Norbugang near Yoksom in western Sikkim they found a man churning milk. He offered them some refreshments and gave them shelter. So impressed were they by his deeds that they realised that he was the chosen one and immediately crowned him king. **The crowning took place at Norbughang near Yoksom on a stone slab in a pine covered hill, and he was anointed by sprinkling water from a sacred urn. This marked the beginning of the monarchy as had been predicted by Guru Rinpoche some eight hundred years before. He was given the name Namgyal and the title chogyal, or religious king. This historical gathering of the three virtuous lamas is called Yoksom, which means the 'Three Superior Ones'. **He was persuaded by the three lamas to seek recognition from the Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Dalai Lama recognized Phuntsok Namgyal as the ruler of the southern slopes of the Himalayas (Sikkim) and sent him the ceremonial presents of a silken scarf bearing the Dalai Lama's seal, the mitre (hat) of the Guru Rimpoche, the devil dagger (phurpa) and the most precious sand image of the Guru. Consequently, the newly established Bhutia principality of the Namgyal Dynasty was tied to Tibetan theocracy and he declared Mahayana Buddhism to be the state religion. **The chogyal, along with the three lamas converted the local Lepcha tribes to Buddhism and tactfully kept the Lepchas, Bhutias and Limbus together. He annexed the Chumbi Valley, the present-day Darjeeling district, and parts of eastern Nepal. The new chogyal divided his new kingdom into twelve dzongs (districts) and established his capital at Yoksom. At this time Sikkim’s territory included the Chumbi Valley in the north, up to Ha Dzong in Bhutan, as far as the Arun River in Nepal, and much of the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal. *In 1670, Phuntsog Namgyal was succeeded by his son, Tensung Namgyal, the second chogyal. The reign of the chogyal was peaceful and he moved the capital from Yoksom to Rabdentse, near Geyzing. He had three wives, a Bhutanese, a Tibetan, and a Limbu, and was succeeded by his son Chador Namgyal, borne by his second wife. ==18th century== *In 1700, Chador Namgyal, seized the throne after his father’s death; he was a minor at that time. This outraged his elder half-sister Pendiongmu, daughter of the first wife, who ousted him with the help of the Bhutanese. Chador fled to Tibet where he remained in exile for ten years before returning and reclaiming his lost territory with the help of the Tibetans. **While in Lhasa, Chador Namgyal became very proficient in Buddhism and Tibetan literature, and became the state astrologer to the sixth Dalai Lama. The sixth Dalai Lama, pleased with the erudition of Chador Namgyal, conferred on him exclusive rights to an estate in Tibet. **During this time, the son of Yugthing Yeshe (the minister who had saved Chador and taken him to Tibet) was imprisoned by the Bhutanese in Rabdentse. Tibet intervened in the matter and the Dalai Lama prevailed on King Deb of Bhutan to withdraw from Sikkim. Chador Namgyal then returned to Rebdantse. The small forces of Bhutan which remained were forced to withdraw in 1706, although Sikkim lost Kalimpong and all territories east of it to Bhutan because Bhutan had colonized the area. **He commanded that the second of every three sons of a Bhutia family must be ordained a monk of the Pemiongchi Monastery. He also adapted the religious dances (mystery plays) to keep alive the martial and native traditions and invented an alphabet for the Lepchas. **Pendiongmu, the chogyal’s half sister, had not forgiven her half-brother. With the help of a medicinal man from Tibet she had Chador murdered in 1716 by means of a blood letting from a main artery while the king was on a holiday at the Ralang hot water spring. Immediately, the royal armed forces executed the Tibetan and put Pendiongmu to death by strangling her with a silk scarf. *In 1717, his son Gurmed Namgyal, the fourth chogyal, succeeded him. During his reign there were many skirmishes between the Nepalese and the Sikkimese, which prompted him to fortify Rabdentese. Since he did not have any legitimate children, on his death bed he said that a nun at the monastery of Sanga Cheoling was carrying his child (according to a story concocted by the lamas to continue the Namgyal Dynasty). Subsequently, the nun gave birth to a male child who was accepted as heir to Gurmed. *In 1733, Phunstok Namgyal II, the fifth chogyal, the illegitimate child of Gurmed, succeeded his father. His father’s treasurer, Tamdang, not only opposed the succession but assumed the powers of the ruler and continued to rule Sikkim for three years despite the opposition by the pro-king faction. The Lepchas backed the baby king and fought the pretender under the leadership of Chandzod Karwang. Tamdang was defeated and fled to Tibet to seek guidance and help. But in order to keep Sikkim under their supervision, the Tibetan authorities favoured the minority of the king. **A convention representing all levels of the Sikkimese people was held which defined the functions, powers and responsibilities of the government. A system of annual taxation was also introduced to augment the state treasury. **The rise of the Gurkhas also posed a threat for Sikkim. During the later years of Phuntsok II they invaded Sikkim under the leadership of Raja Prithvi Narayan Shah of Nepal. Bhutan also invaded Sikkim and captured the land east of the river Tista. They later withdrew to the previous borders after negotiations at Rhenock. The Gurkhas were beaten back seventeen times. A peace treaty with Nepal was signed in 1775 and the Gurkhas promised to abstain from further attacks and from collaboration with Bhutanese. Later, however, they violated the treaty and occupied the land in western Sikkim. Phuntsok II had three queens; his son Tenzing Namgyal was born from his second queen in 1769. *In 1780, Tenzing Namgyal, the sixth chogyal, the son of Phuntsok’s second queen, succeeded his father. He was a weak ruler, and during his reign, Gurkha forces occupied large parts of Sikkim. They attacked Rabdentse and he had to flee to Tibet where he died. The Gurkha excursions emboldened them to penetrate even into Tibet. This led to Chinese intervention and Nepal was defeated. In the Sino-Nepal treaty, Sikkim lost some of its land to Nepal, but the monarchy was allowed to be restored in the country. *In 1791, China sent troops to support Sikkim and defend Tibet against the Gurkhas. Following Nepal's subsequent defeat, the [[Qing Dynasty]] established control over Sikkim. *In 1793, Tenzing’s son Tshudpud Namgyal, the seventh chogyal, returned to Sikkim to reclaim the throne with the help of China. Rabdantse was now, considered too insecure because of its proximity to the Nepal border and Tshudphund Namgyal removed the capital to a place called Tumlong. ==19th century== '''The episode surrounding the sale of Darjeeling to the British East India Company in 1835 did not take place *there* so that Darjeeling remains a part of the Rajahdom of Sikkim.''' *In 1863, Sedkeong Namgyal, the eight chogyal, succeeded his father Tshudpud. *In 1874, Thutob Namgyal, the ninth chogyal, succeeded his half-brother. In 1894, he moved the capital from Tumlong to Gangtok, building a new palace and government buildings. ==20th century== *In 1914, Sedkeong Tukul Namgyal, the tenth chogyal, succeeded his father. He only reigned eleven months, from February 10th to December 5th, dying of heart failure. *In 1914, Tashi Namgyal, the eleventh chogyal, succeeded his half-brother. He was crowned by the 13th Dalai Lama. He died in 1963. *In 1965, Palden Thondup Namgyal, the twelfth chogyal, succeeded his father. The coronation was delayed for two years after his father’s death in order to find an auspicious date. *'''In 1982, Wangchuk Namgyal, the 13th chogyal, his father’s second son, succeeded to the throne. His elder brother Tenzing had been killed in a road accident'''.

According to local legend [[Wikipedia:Padmasambhava|Padmasambhava]], the great founder of Tibetan Buddhism came to the Kali Kandaki Valley on his way to Tibet. *The first emperor of Tibet, [[Wikipedia:Trisong Detsen|Trisong Detsen]], (742-797) was desirous of introducing Buddhism to his empire, but his desire was thwarted by evil mountain deities. Learning of the holiness of Padmasambhava, the emperor invited him to come and do battle with these evil powers. Guru Rinpoche, as he is known in Tibet, on his way through eastern Lo in 775 built the temple of Ghar Gompa (''House Temple'') which still stands guard today. He arrived in Tibet in 810 and used his tantric powers to subdue the evil deities he encountered along the way. He founded the first monastery in the country, Samye Gompa, initiated the first monks, and introduced the people to the practice of Tantric Buddhism. *It is also quite likely that the Tibetan poet [[Wikipedia:Milarepa|Milarepa]], who lived from 1040 to 1123, visited Lo. *For a time, Lo was part of Ngari, a name for far western Tibet. Ngari was not a true political entity, but rather a loose collection of feudal domains that also included parts of [[Wikipedia:Dolpo|Dolpo]]. By the 14th century, much of Ngari, as well as most of what today is western Nepal, was part of the [[Wikipedia:Malla (Nepal)|Malla]] Empire governed from their capital at Sinja, near [[Wikipedia:Jumla District|Jumla]]. *Until the late fourteenth century, Lo was part of [[Wikipedia:Ngari Prefecture|Ngari]], a name for far western Tibet. Ngari was not a true political entity, but rather a loose collection of feudal domains that also included parts of [[Wikipedia:Dolpo|Dolpo]]. By the 14th century, much of Ngari, as well as most of what today is western Nepal, was part of the [[Wikipedia:Malla (Nepal)|Malla]] Empire governed from their capital at Sinja, near [[Wikipedia:Jumla District|Jumla]]. ===14th Century=== *'''1380''' - Shresrab becomes the ''dzongpon'' (military commander and provincial commissioner) of Lo for the Gung-thang kings of Tibet. He holds a semi-independent status, which allows him to secure the government for his lineal descendants. He transfers his capital from Sarang to Manthang, constructing many ''gompas'' (temples). He subjugates [[Wikipedia:Guge|Guge]] and [[Wikipedia:Burang Town|Purang]] in western Tibet and founded the Thub-stan shad-rub dar-gyas-ling Monastery at Sarang, which accommodated over 2,000 resident monks and served as a major center of religious learning and worship. He is venerated as a [[Wikipedia:bodhisattva|''bodhisattva'']] by his people and dies at the Kra-this ge-phel Palace in Manthang in 1447. The ancestry of the present raja can be traced back 25 generations to Ama Pal. ===15th Century=== *'''1400''' - Shesrab's son, Tshang, is recognised as ''dzongpon'' of Lo, Nar, Nyishang, [[Wikipedia:Manang District|Manang]], Phug, and Nubri. *'''1425''' - His son, the warrior-monk Ama Pal, succeeds as ''dzongpon''. *'''1440-1442''' – Ama Pal consolidates his power in the upper Kali Gandaki Valley and extends his influence over a wide region in western Tibet, thus founding the Buddhist Kingdom of Lo. He defeats the Zhang-pa army, declares his independence, and is enthroned as ''gyalpo'', although his kingdom remains closely tied by language and culture to Tibet. *'''1442''' - Ama Pal is recognized as an independent ruler by the Gung-thang king of Tibet and assumes the title of ''chosgyal''. *'''1443''' – Ama Pal transfers his capital from Sarang to Manthang (the present-day capital), constructing many ''gompas'' (temples). He subjugates [[Wikipedia:Guge|Guge]] and [[Wikipedia:Burang Town|Purang]] in western Tibet and founds the Thub-stan shad-rub dar-gyas-ling Monastery at Sarang, which accommodated over 2,000 resident monks and served as a major center of religious learning and worship. *'''1447''' - Tenzing Zampo, succeeds his father as Lo Gyal-po. He was born in 1419, the eldest son of Ama Pal. He was an enlightened ruler who patronized literature and religion, reorganized the administration and developed the economic welfare of the kingdom, during a reign that was largely peaceful and prosperous. *'''1482''' - Kra-this-gon succeeds his father as Lo Gyal-po. He was born in '''1443''', his father’s eldest son. He was appointed as heir apparent with the title of ''gyal-chung'' and served as ''drung-pa chen-po'' during his father's retreats to monasteries. ===16th Century=== *'''1513''' - Ragspa succeeds his father as Lo Gyalpo. The growing power of Jumla sees a contraction of his hegemony to little more than the traditional areas of Dolpo, Manang and Lo, eventually losing his independence in 1544. *'''1544''' Lo is divided into separate districts ruled by the three sons of Ragspa, under Jumla sovereignty, until 1560. *'''1560''' Gyahor, the eldest of the three sons is appointed ''khri-thog-pa'' by the Jumla authorities and succeeds in re-establishing the principality. He was a great patron of literature, religious sculpture and a builder of stupas, but he died having no sons. *'''1565''' – Sodnams, the younger son of Krathis is appointed ''depa'' by his elder brother. *'''1572''' – Sodnams succeeds his brother as Lo Gyalpo. *'''1580''' - Dongrub, the second son of Sodnams succeeds his father. He did much to revive the fortunes of the state, constructed palaces and strong forts, and recovered authority over Serib, Gelung and Khangkar. *'''1594''' – Samgrub, the eldest son of Dongrub, succeeds on the death of his father. ===17th Century=== *'''1609''' – Rabtan, the only surviving son of Samgrub, succeeds on the death of his father. *'''1655''' – Rabtan abdicates in favour of his third son. He marries Nyizla, a princess from [[Wikipedia:Ladakh|Ladakh]]. He died in 1664. *'''1656''' – Sa ang, the third son of Rabtan, succeeds his father. He fought several wars against Jumla, regaining his independence through military help from Ladakh several times during his reign. He lost the Thak-Panchgaun region to Parvat in 1687. ===18th Century=== *'''1710''' - Sa ang abdicates in favour of his son. *'''1711''' - Je ang succeeds on the abdication of his father. *'''1723''' - Krathis Namgyal succeeds his father. *'''1728''' - Tenzing Anjia succeeds his father, but reigns under the regency of his mother, Norzin, daughter of Nyima, the King of Ladakh. *'''1734''' - Tenzing Anjia comes of age and assumes full ruling powers. **The Malla Empire declined and split into numerous petty hill states. By the 18th century, Jumla had consolidated and reasserted its power. In an effort to develop their domain as a trading center and to obtain Tibetan goods, the rulers of Jumla turned their attention eastward. *'''1740''' - Jumla assumes control over Lo, from which they extract an annual tribute. **Since the valley was the easiest corridor through the mighty Himalaya linking the Tibetan Plateau to southern Asia, it became a major trading center. Great caravans of sheep and yaks brought loads from Tibet to Lo where they were transferred to the mules and goats more suited to travel in the warmer lowlands. Southwards the trade was in salt, wool, musk, borax and [[Wikipedia:tsampa|tsampa]]; heading north was rice, grain, and textiles. *'''1760''' - Wanggyal Dorje succeeds on the death of his father. *'''1762''' - When he ascended the throne, [[Wikipedia:Prithivi Narayan Shah|Prithvi Narayan Shah]], founder of the house of [[Wikipedia:Gurkah|Gorkha]], began to consolidate what is present-day Nepal. He conquered Jumla and laid claim to Lo. Although Lo was forced to pay tribute for protection, they regained a large measure of autonomy. Prithvi Narayan Shah went on to conquer much of what is now modern Nepal. At the time of his death in 1775, the kingdom extended from Gorkha eastward to the borders of Sikkim. His descendants directed their efforts westward and by 1789, Jumla had been annexed. *'''1765-1788''' - The vassal rulers of Lo make several unsuccessful, attempts to re-establish their independence. *'''1788''' - The Nepalese Regent, Prince Bahadur Shah, requests an alliance to complete his plans for unifying Nepal. He needs the help of Wanggyal Dorje to subdue the Raja of Jumla, Lo’s overlord. *'''1788''' - Wanggyal Dorje enters into an alliance with the Nepalese to defeat his overlord, the Raja of Jumla. *'''1790''' - After the successful completion of the war, '''Wanggyal Dorje is awarded for his participation some of the lands seized by Jumla, namely, [[Wikipedia:Manang|Manang]] and [[Wikipedia:Dolpo|Dolpo]]'''. He is thereafter recognized as a '''sovereign''' ruler with the hereditary title of Gyelpo Raja of '''Lo'''. He receives a crown acknowledging his new status from the Maharajadhiraja of Nepal and was granted a golden plumed crown by the [[Wikipedia:Qianlong|Qianlong]] Emperor of China. This now forms part of the ''tog-sum'' or regalia of the rajadom. He was a religious and cultural reformer who renovated monasteries and monuments, built several temples and a modern palace, and invited learned lamas to settle in Lo. *'''1797''' - Krathis Ningpo succeeds his father. ===19th Century=== *'''1815''' - Jampal Graldus succeeds when his uncle abdicates. He was a religious man who spent long hours meditating with his lamas in remote caves and other holy places. *'''1837''' - Kunga Norbu succeeds his father. He served in the Nepalese War against Tibet in 1855. *'''1857''' - Jamyan Angdu succeeds his father, reigning under the regency of his mother, Krathis bukhrid. He was never installed or crowned and thus was ''gyalras'' (prince) only. *'''1863''' - Ngodup Palbar left the monastic life and succeeded his brother. He reigned under the regency of his sister-in-law, Je-chog, from 1863 to 1868. *'''1893''' - Jambyang Pelbar succeeds upon the death of his uncle. *'''1935''' - Angun Tenzing Trangul succeeds his father. ===20th Century=== *'''1926 - At the request of Maharaja Tribhuvan Bir, Gyalpo Jambang [[Maharajadom of Nepal#The Shah Dynasty|closes]] the mountain passes to Tibet. This puts severe restrictions on the Lotian economy and trade with Nepal increases.''' *'''1945 - The mountain passes are opened by Gyalpo Angung Tenzing Trandul at the defeat of the Chinese Empire by Australasia.''' *'''1955''' – Angun Tenzing Trandul abdicates in favor of his eldest son. *'''1955''' - Angdu Nyingpo succeeds his father. He had been appointed heir apparent by his father and invested with the title of ''gyal-chung''. He died at the Manthang Palace in 1958. *'''1958''' - Angun Tenzing Trandul resumes the throne upon the death of his son. He marries Rani Kelsang Choeden, of the Zhalu Kushang family of the Che clan, the elder sister of His Excellency Ngawang Khyenrab Thupten Lekshe Gyatso, the 18th ''Chogye Trichen Rinpoche'' of the Phenpo Nalanda Monastery in Tibet. He dies at Phre-mkhar Palace in 1964. *'''1963''' - Jigme Pelbar marries, at Shigatse, Tibet, Rani Sahiba Sidol Palbar Bista, a lady from a noble family of Shigatse. *'''1964''' - Jigme Pelbar succeeds his father as the 25th Raja of Lo.

It is found in the name of the royal capital Manthang. Lo is from the Tibetan ''lho'', southern. Thus, the Rajadom of Lo means the southern rajadom. ==Government== *The Rajadom of Lo is an absolute monarchy. The ''raja gyalpo'' is advised by a privy council (''lodyo tshogdu'') which consists of the three provincial governors (''lumbo''), four of the prefects (''dzongnpon'') (elected from among their membership), and the royal abbot (''[[Wikipedia:Je Khenpo|je khenpo]]''). *There is also a family council which the ''raja gyalpo'' consults on matters concerning the royal family. *The rajadom is comprised of three provinces (''dzongdey''), each of which is governed by a hereditary governor (''lumbo'') whose powers are limited by an elected provincial council. *Each province is divided into several prefectures (''dzongkhag''), each governed by an elected prefect (''tshonpon''). Each prefecture has a prefectural council whose members are elected by universal sufferage. *The town of Lo Mantang in the province of Mustang is the ''gyal-sa'' (the royal residence). It is independent of any province, being governed by the ''raja gyalpo'' himself. *The town of Jomson in the province of Mustang is the provincial capital and the adminstrative capital and the seat of the legislative and judicial branches of the government. It is independent of any province, being governed by the National Assembly (''tshogdu''). *The ''lumbos'', who serve at court, are the only Lotians with the right to marry into the royal house. *The monasteries of the rajadom are governed by the the royal abbot of Lo. ====Provinces==== {| class="wikitable" |- | style="background: #007fff; border-bottom: 10px solid gold;" width=9% | '''Province'''<br>(''dzongdey'') | style="background: #007fff; border-bottom: 10px solid gold;" width=5% | '''Capital''' | style="background: #007fff; border-bottom: 10px solid gold;" width=8% | '''Area''' | style="background: #007fff; border-bottom: 10px solid gold;" width=3% | '''Population''' | style="background: #007fff; border-bottom: 10px solid gold;" width=11% | '''Prefecture'''<br>(''dzongkhag'') | style="background: #007fff; border-bottom: 10px solid gold;" width=64% | '''Notes''' |- | Mustang (M) | Jomsom | 3,573 km²<br>1,380 mi² | 14,000 | Lomantang (ML)<br>Marpha (MM) | |- | Dolpa (D) | Dunai | 22,043 km²<br>8,511 mi² | 29,000 | Phoksundo (DP)<br>Chharka (DC)<br>Dunai (DD)<br>Saldang (DS) | |- | Manang (M) | Chame | 2,246 km²<br>867 mi² | 9,000 | Nar (MN)<br>Manang (MM)<br>Chame (MC) | |} *'''Thus, the total area of the rajadom is 27,862 km² (10,758 mi²), the same size as *here's* Haiti.''' ====The Treaty of Kathmandu between the Maharajadom of Nepal and the Rajadom of Lo, 1790==== *By means of this Treaty the Maharajadom of Nepal restores sovereignty over the districts of Dolpo and Manang to the People of the Rajadom of Lo in the Person of His Highness Wanggyal Dorje who is recognized as a sovereign ruler with the hereditary title of Gyalpo Raja of Lo. *These sovereignties are granted in perpetuity. *The Maharajadom of Nepal shall continue to guarantee the military security of the Rajadom of Lo. The Rajadom of Lo in turn agrees not to engage in any activity that would compromise or endanger the national security of the Maharajadom of Nepal. *Ambassadors to the Maharajadom of Nepal shall likewise be accepted as ambassadors to the Rajadom of Lo. They must, however, upon acceptance of their credentials by the Maharajadhiraja of Nepal, also present their credentials to the Raja Gyalpo. Without this recognition, that country shall be deemed not to have entered into diplomatic relations with the Rajadom of Lo. *These accredited ambassadors and their families and staffs shall be given the same immunity as if they were in the Maharajadom of Nepal. **Diplomatic immunity is accorded neither to the members of the ambassador's family nor to diplomatic staff if they are accused of a violation of the Law in the Rajadom of Lo. *The Maharajadom of Nepal agrees to accept students into its institutions of higher learning at the rates of Nepali students. *Maharajadom of Nepal Customs shall not levy duties on goods imported by citizens of the Rajadom of Lo and destined for use in the Rajadom of Lo. ==Geography== *The Rajadom of Lo is an enchanting land of windswept vistas, red walled monasteries, and feudal towns, located on the Central Asian plateau. It lies between Tibet on the north, and the Nepali districts of Dolpa to the west, Myagdi to the south, and Manang to the east. It is an extension of the Tibetan plateau with an average elevation of over 3,000 m. Located to the north of the highest mountains Dhaulagiri and Annapurna and to the north of the main Himalayan range and geographically part of the Tibetan highlands, it is roughly 80 km long (north-south) and 45 km at its widest giving it an area of 3,573 sq. km. *The rajahdom lies in the Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows, an area of 121,300 square kilometres (46,800 sq mi), extending along the north and south faces of the Himalaya Range from the Kali Gandaki Gorge eastwards through Tibet, Sikkim, Bhutan, and on into India's Arunachal Pradesh state, and northernmost Myanmar. *The alpine shrub and meadows lie between approximately 4,000 and 5,500 metres (13,000 and 18,000 ft) elevation. Permanent ice and snow lie above 5,500 metres (18,000 ft). The Eastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests lie below 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) along the southern slopes of the range, from Lo to Bhutan. *The main feature of the Rajadom of Lo is the Kali Gandaki river, its valley and tributaries. It runs north-east to south-west towards Nepal Terai, bisecting the country. The river was once the major trade route between Tibet and India, especially for salt. Part of the river valley, the Thak Khola, a downfaulted graben, is the deepest gorge in the world. According to the difference between the river elevation and these peaks, this is the world's deepest gorge. The gorge separates the major peaks Dhaulagiri (8,167 m/26,795 ft) to the west and Annapurna (8,091 m/26,545 ft) to the east. The river runs at elevations between 1,300 and 2,600 metres (4,300 and 8,500 ft), 5,500 to 6,800 metres (18,000–22,300 ft) lower than the peaks. The river is older than the Himalayas. As tectonic activity forced the mountains higher, the river cut down through the uplift. The river rises along the Tibet border and the coincident Ganges-Brahmaputra divide and flows south through the Rajadom. The gorge begins at Kagbeni where the Himalayan ranges begin to close in. The river then continues southwards past Jomsom, Marpha and Tukuche to the deepest part of the gorge in the area of Lete. The gorge then broadens past Dana and Tatopani towards Beni. *The landscape is of indescribable vastness and beauty, a vast high valley, arid and dry. The valley is characterized by eroded canyons, colorful rock formations with a barren, desert-like appearance. The hills tend to be great red fluted cliffs of tiny round stones cemented together by mud. One of the most fascinating features of the Rajadom of Lo is the thousands of cliff dwellings, some of which look completely inaccessible. Rimmed by more than 20,000 snowcapped peaks and bathed in hues of orange and red rocks with sporadic fields of vibrant green, yellow and red of barley, maize, and buckwheat, the Rajadom of Lo is a step back to a simpler time. *The countryside is similar to the Tibetan plateau with its endless expanses of yellow and grey rolling hills eroded by wind. Strong winds often blow across the valley in the afternoon, generally subsiding at night. Lying in the rain shadow of the Himalaya, Lo has much less rain than Nepal. Annual precipitation is between 250 and 400 mm. During the monsoon the skies are cloudy and there is some rain. In the winter there is usually snow; sometimes as much as 30 or 40 cm accumulating on the ground. *Villages are several hours apart and appear in the distance almost as mirages; during the summer season, after the crops are planted, they are green oases in the desert-like landscape. ===Borders=== Lo is bordered by on the: North: Tibet<br> West: Nepal ([[Wikipedia:Mugu District|Mugu]], [[Wikipedia:Jumla District|Jumla]])<br> Southwest: Nepal ([[Wikipedia:Jajarkot District|Jajarkot]])<br> South: Nepal ([[Wikipedia:Rukum District|Rukum]], [[Wikipedia:Myagdi District|Myagdi]], [[Wikipedia:Kaski District|Kaski]])<br> Southeast: Nepal ([[Wikipedia:Lamjung District|Lamjung]])<br> East: Nepal ([[Wikipedia:Gorkha District|Gorkha]]) '''The Rajahdom of Lo is contiguous with *here's* Nepali districts of Mustang, Dolpo, and Manang.''' ==Climate== *The province of Mustang is largely dry and arid with annual precipitation in the range of 250–400 mm due to its position in the rain shadow of the Annapurna Massif and the Dhaulagiri Range to the south. * ==Economy== ==Demographics== ==Culture== ===National symbols=== *National mammal: [[Wikipedia:Yak|yak]] (''Bos grunniens'') *National bird: [[Wikipedia:Blue rock thrush|blue rock-thrush]] (''Monticola solitarius''] *National flower: [[Wikipedia:Phalaenopsis mannii|Mann's phalaenopsos]] (''Phalaenopsis mannii'') *National dish: [[Wikipedia: Momo (food)|momos]] (dumplings) *National flag: **The hoist half of the flag is white, the color of the snows on the sacred Himalayas, which symbolizes the secular tradition of the Rajadom.

Its early history is shrouded in legend, myth and mystery, but there are records of events in the Kali Kandaki Valley as early as the 8th century. According to local legend Padmasambhava, the great founder of Tibetan Buddhism came to the Kali Kandaki Valley on his way to Tibet. The first empereor of Tibet, Trisong Detsen, (742-797) was desirous of introducing Buddhism to his empire, but his desire was thwarted by evil mountain deities. Learning of the holiness of Padmasambhava, the emperor invited him to come and do battle with these evil powers. Guru Rinpoche, as he is known in Tibet, on his way through eastern Lo, in 775 built the temple of Ghar Gompa (House Temple) which still stands guard today. He arrived in Tibet 810 and used his tantric powers to subdue the evil deities he encountered along the way. He founded the first monastery in the country, Samye Gompa, initiated the first monks, and introduced the people to the practice of Tantric Buddhism. It is also quite likely that the Tibetan poet Milarepa, who lived from 1040 to 1123, visited Lo. ==14th Century== *It is generally believed that the warrior Ame Pal was the founder king of the Buddhist Kingdom of Lo in 1380. Shres-rab la-ma was the military commander and provincial commissioner of Lo for the Gung-thang kings. He held a semi-independent status, which allowed him to secure the government for his lineal descendants. His grandson, Ame Pal consolidated his power and extended his influence over a wide region in western Tibet, eventually establishing his own kingdom. His Gung-thang overlords recognised him as an independent ruler, with the title of chos-gyal. His kingdom remained closely tied by language and culture to Tibet. Ame Pal, or perhaps his father, conquered a large part of the territory in the upper Kali Kandaki and was responsible for the development of the city of Lo Manthang and for constructing many gompas (temples). The ancestry of the present Raja can be traced back 25 generations to Ame Pal. **For a time, Lo was part of Ngari, a name for far western Tibet. Ngari was not a true political entity, but rather a loose collection of feudal domains that also included parts of Dolpo (now a district of Nepal). By the 14th century, much of Ngari, as well as most of what today is western Nepal, was part of the Malla Empire governed from the capital at Sinja, near Jumla. **Ame Pal's successors continued to rule independently until the second quarter of the sixteenth century. After many battles and countless incursions, the neighbouring principality of Jumla established control over Lo, and for a time no paramount ruler was recognised. The Jumla rajas divided the principality amongst regional commissioners and governors, these offices being filled by various members of the Lo ruling family. ==16th Century== *Gya-hor-pal-zang recovered a measure of independence from Jumla and was recognised as ''chogyal'', about 1560. However, his brother and successor succumbed to Jumla rule once more, and his descendants continued as vassals for the next century. ==18th Century== *The Malla Empire declined and split into numerous petty hill states. By the 18th century, Jumla had consolidated and reasserted its power. In an effort to develop their domain as a trading center and to obtain Tibetan goods, the rulers of Jumla turned their attention eastward. In 1740, they assumed control over Lo, from which they extracted an annual tribute. *Since the valley was the easiest corridor through the mighty Himalaya linking the Tibetan Plateau to southern Asia, it became a major trading center. Great caravans of sheep and yaks brought loads from Tibet to Lo where theys were transferred to the mules and goats more suited to travel in the warmer lowlands. Southwards the trade was in salt, wool, musk, borax and tsampa; heading north was rice, grain, and textiles *When he ascended the throne in 1762, Prithvi Narayan Shah, founder of the house of Gurkha, began to consolidate what is present-day Nepal. He conquered Jumla and laid claim to Lo. Although Lo was forced to pay tribute for protection, they regained a large measure of autonomy. Prithvi Narayan Shah went on to conquer much of what is now modern Nepal. At the time of his death in 1775, the kingdom extended from Gorkha eastward to the borders of Sikkim. His descendants directed their efforts westward and by 1789, Jumla had been annexed. *The vassal rulers of Lo made several valiant, but unsuccessful, attempts to re-establish their independence. Their chance finally came in 1788 when the Nepalese Regent, Prince Bahadur Shah, requested an alliance to complete his plans for unifying Nepal. He needed the help of Anjia Dorje to subdue the Raja of Jumla, Lo’s overlod. In 1790, after the successful completion of the war, Anjia Dorje accepted Nepalese sovereignty and secured the return of lands annexed by Jumla which had been annexed outright, including lower Lo, Manang, Nyishang, Phug, Nubri, Rui, Namjar, and Dolpo. Thereafter he was recognised as a tributary ruler with the hereditary title of Raja of Lo. He received a crown recognising his new status from the Maharajadhiraja of Nepal and was granted a gold and plumed crown by the Emperor of China, which now form part of theTog-gsum or regalia of the rajadom. He was a religious and cultural reformer who renovated monasteries and monuments, built several temples and a modern palace, and invited learned lamas to settle in Lo. ==The Rajas of Lo== 1) Sa-ang, 1656–1710, father of 2) Je Ang, 1711–1723, father of 3) Krathis Namgyal, 1723-c.1728, father of 4) Tenzing Anjia, c.1728-c.1750. father of 5) ''Nor-zin de-legs-bang-mo'' 1728-1734, regent for her son 5) Anjia Dorje, c.1750–1797, father of 6) Krathis Ningpo, 1797–1815, uncle of 7) Jampel Traldus, 1815–1837, father of 8) Kunga Norbu, 1837–1857, father of Jamian Angdu, 1857–1863, reigned under the regency of his mother.

It lies between Tibet on the north,…' *The Rajadom of Lo is an enchanting land of windswept vistas, red walled monasteries, and feudal towns, located on the Central Asian plateau. It lies between Tibet on the north, and the Nepali districts of Dolpa to the west, Myagdi to the south, and Manang to the east. It is an extension of the Tibetan plateau with an average elevation of over 3,000 m. Located to the north of the highest mountains Dhaulagiri and Annapurna and to the north of the main Himalayan range and geographically part of the Tibetan highlands, it is roughly 80 km long (north-south) and 45 km at its widest giving it an area of 3,573 km2. *The main feature of the Rajadom of Lo is the Kali Gandaki river, its valley and tributaries. It runs north-east to south-west towards Nepal Terai, bisecting the country. The river was once the major trade route between Tibet and India, especially for salt. Part of the river valley, the Thak Khola, a downfaulted graben, is the deepest gorge in the world. According to the difference between the river elevation and these peaks, this is the world's deepest gorge. The gorge separates the major peaks Dhaulagiri (8,167 m/26,795 ft) to the west and Annapurna (8,091 m/26,545 ft) to the east. The river runs at elevations between 1,300 and 2,600 metres (4,300 and 8,500 ft), 5,500 to 6,800 metres (18,000–22,300 ft) lower than the peaks. The river is older than the Himalayas. As tectonic activity forced the mountains higher, the river cut down through the uplift. The river rises along the Tibet border and the coincident Ganges-Brahmaputra divide and flows south through the Rajadom. The gorge begins at Kagbeni where the Himalayan ranges begin to close in. The river then continues southwards past Jomsom, Marpha and Tukuche to the deepest part of the gorge in the area of Lete. The gorge then broadens past Dana and Tatopani towards Beni. *The landscape is of indescribable vastness and beauty, a vast high valley, arid and dry. The valley is characterized by eroded canyons, colorful rock formations with a barren, desert-like appearance. The hills tend to be great red fluted cliffs of tiny round stones cemented together by mud. One of the most fascinating features of the Rajadom of Lo is the thousands of cliff dwellings, some of which look completely inaccessible. Rimmed by more than 20,000 snowcapped peaks and bathed in hues of orange and red rocks with sporadic fields of vibrant green, yellow and red of barley, maize, and buckwheat, the Rajadom of Lo is a step back to a simpler time. *The countryside is similar to the Tibetan plateau with its endless expanses of yellow and grey rolling hills eroded by wind. Strong winds often blow across the valley in the afternoon, generally subsiding at night. Lying in the rain shadow of the Himalaya, Lo has much less rain than Nepal. Annual precipitation is between 250 and 400 mm. During the monsoon the skies are cloudy and there is some rain. In the winter there is usually snow; sometimes as much as 30 or 40 cm accumulating on the ground. *The mountains are home to 101 species of mammals including snow leopard, musk deer, Tibetan argali, Tibetan wolf, Tibetan fox; 474 species of birds; 39 species of reptiles and 22 species of amphibians; as well as the mythical mehti (abominable snowman). A total of 1226 species of plants can be found in the mountains including 38 orchid species and nine rhododendron species *Villages are several hours apart and appear in the distance almost as mirages; during the summer season, after the crops are planted, they are green oases in the desert-like landscape.

The Guru is reported to have blessed the land, introduced Buddhism to the country, and foretold the era of monarchy that would arrive centuries later. *In the 14th century, according to legend, [[Guru Tashi]], a Bhutia prince from the [[Minyak]] House in [[Kham]] in eastern [[Tibet]], had a divine revelation one night instructing him to travel south to seek his fortunes. He traveled south with his five sons and settled down in the [[Chumbi Valley]] in Sikkim. His descendants were later to become the royal Chogyal family of Sikkim. **During their journey the family came across the Sakya Kingdom in which a monastery was being built at that time. The workers had not been successful in erecting pillars for the monastery. The elder son of Guru Tashi raised the pillar single handedly and thereby came to be known as Kheye Bumsa, meaning the superior of ten thousand heroes. **The Sakya King offered his daughter in marriage to Khye Bumsa. When his father died Khye Bumsa settled in Chumbi Valley and it was here that he established contacts in Gangtok with the Lepcha Chieftain Thekong Tek who rules Sikkim south of the Chumbi Valley. Khye Bumsa being childless went to Sikkim to seek the blessing of the priest king Thekong Tek. Not only was he blessed with three sons but Thekong Tek also prophesied that his successors would be the rulers of Sikkim. In due course the friendship resulted in a treaty between the two Chieftains at a place called Kabi Longtsok. This treaty brought about new ties of brotherhood between the Lepchas and the Bhutias. *Mipon Rab, the third son of Khye Bumsa, assumed the chieftainship after the death of his father. He had sons and the four principal clans of Sikkim are said to have sprung from these four sons. *The fourth son, Guru Tashi, succeeded Mipon Rab and moved to Gangtok. The Lepchas, after the death of Thekong Tek, broke into minor clans. They also gradually turned to Guru Tashi for protection and leadership. Guru Tashi appointed Sambre, a Lepcha, as his chief adviser and lieutenant. Guru Tashi's rule marked the absorption of the foreign Bhutia ruling house into the native soil and also paved a way for a regular monarchy. This way Guru Tashi became the first ruler of Sikkim and was crowned as such. He was followed by Jowo Nagpo, Jowo Apha and Guru Tenzing, all of whom pursued a policy of amicable relations with the Lepchas. *In 1642, the fifth-generation descendant of Guru Tashi, Phuntsog Namgyal, was consecrated as the first chogyal (king) of Sikkim by the three virtuous lamas who had come from the north, west and south in search for the chosen person. Near present day Gangtok, at Norbugang near Yoksom in western Sikkim they found a man churning milk. He offered them some refreshments and gave them shelter. So impressed were they by his deeds that they realised that he was a chosen one and immediately crowned him king. **The crowning took place Norbughang near Yuksom on a stone slab in a pine covered hill, and he was anointed by sprinkling water from a sacred urn. This marked the beginning of the monarchy as had been predicted by Guru Rinpoche some eight hundred years before. He was given the name Namgyal and the title chogyal, or religious king. This historical gathering of the three virtuous lamas is called Yuksom, which means the 'Three Superior Ones'. **He was persuaded by the three lamas to seek recognition from the Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Dalai Lama recognized Phuntsok Namgyal as the ruler of the southern slopes of the Himalayas (Sikkim) and sent him the ceremonial presents of a silken scarf bearing Dalai Lama's seal, the mitre(hat) of the Guru Rimpoche, the devil dagger (phurpa) and the most precious sand image of the Guru. Consequently, the newly established Bhutia principality of the Namgyal Dynasty was tied to Tibetan theocracy and he declared Mahayana Buddhism to be the state religion. **The chogyal, along with the three lamas converted the local Lepcha tribes to Buddhism and tactfully kept the Lepchas, Bhutias and Limbus together. He annexed the Chumbi Valley, the present-day Darjeeling district, and parts of eastern Nepal. The new chogyal divided his new kingdom into twelve dzongs (districts) and established his capital at Yoksom. At this time Sikkim’s territory included the Chumbi Valley in the north, up to Ha Dzong in Bhutan, as far as the Arun River in Nepal, and much of the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal. *In 1670, Phuntsog Namgyal was succeeded by his son, Tensung Namgyal, the second chogyal. The reign of the chogyal was peaceful and he moved the capital from Yuksom to Rabdentse, near Geyzing. He had three wives, a Bhutanese, a Tibetan, and a Limbu, and was succeeded by his son Chador Namgyal, borne by his second wife. *In 1700, Chador Namgyal, seized the throne after his father’s death; he was a minor at that time. This outraged his elder half-sister Pendiongmu, daughter of the first wife, who ousted him with the help of the Bhutanese. Chador fled to Tibet where he remained in exile for ten years before returning and reclaiming his lost territory with the help of the Tibetans. **While in Lhasa, Chador Namgyal became very proficient in Buddhism and Tibetan literature, and became the state astrologer to the Sixth Dalai Lama. The sixth Dalai Lama, pleased with the erudition of Chador Namgyal, conferred on him exclusive rights to an estate in Tibet. **During this time, the son of Yugthing Yeshe (the minister who had saved Chador and taken him to Tibet) was imprisoned by the Bhutanese in Rabdentse. Tibet intervened in the matter and the Dalai Lama prevailed on King Deb of Bhutan to withdraw from Sikkim. Chakdor Namgyal then returned to Rebdantse. The small forces of Bhutan which remained were forced to withdraw in 1706, although Sikkim lost Kalimpong and all territories east of it to Bhutan because Bhutan had colonized the area. **He commanded that the second of every three sons of a Bhutia family must be ordained a monk of the Pemiongchi Monastery. He also adapted the religious dances (mystery plays) to keep alive the martial and native traditions and invented an alphabet for the Lepchas. **Pendiongmu, the Chogyal’s half sister, had not forgiven her half brother. With the help of a medicinal man from Tibet she had Chakdor murdered in 1716 by means of a blood letting from a main artery while the king was on a holiday at the Ralang hot water spring. Immediately, the royal armed forces executed the Tibetan doctor and put Pendiogmu to death by strangling her with a silk scarf. *In 1717, his son Gurmed Namgyal, the fourth chogyal, succeeded him. During his reign there were many skirmishes between the Nepalese and the Sikkimese, which prompted him to fortify Rabdentese. Since he did not have any legitimate children, on his death bed he said that a nun at the monastery of Sanga Cheoling was carrying his child (according to a story concocted by the lamas to continue the Namgyal Dynasty). Subsequently, the nun gave birth to a male child who was accepted as heir to Gurmed. *In 1733, Phunstok Namgyal II, the fifth chogyal, the illegitimate child of Gurmed, succeeded his father. His father’s treasurer, Tamdang, not only opposed the succession but assumed the powers of the ruler and continued to rule Sikkim for three years despite the opposition by the pro-king faction. The Lepchas backed the baby king and fought the pretender under the leadership of Chandzod Karwang. Tamdang was defeated and fled to Tibet to seek guidance and help. But in order to keep Sikkim under their supervision, the Tibetan authorities favoured the minority of the king. **A convention representing all levels of the Sikkimese people was held which defined the functions, powers and responsibilities of the government. A system of annual taxation was also introduced to augment the state treasury. **The rise of the Gurkhas also posed a threat for Sikkim. During the later years of Phuntsok II they invaded Sikkim under the leadership of Raja Prithvi Narayan Shah of Nepal. Bhutan also invaded Sikkim and captured the land east of the river Tista. They later withdrew to the previous borders after negotiations at Rhenock. The Gurkhas were beaten back seventeen times. A peace treaty with Nepal was signed in 1775 and the Gurkhas promised to abstain from further attacks and collaboration with Bhutanese. Later, however, they violated the treaty and occupied the land in western Sikkim. Phuntsok II had three queens but had a son Tenzing Namgyal from his second queen in 1769. *In 1780, Tenzing Namgyal, the sixth chogyal, the son of Phuntsok’s second queen, succeeded his father. He was a weak ruler, and during his reign, Gurkha forces occupied large parts of Sikkim. They attacked Rabdentse and he had to flee to Tibet where he died. The Gurkha excursions emboldened them to penetrate even into Tibet. This led to Chinese intervention and Nepal was defeated. In the Sino-Nepal treaty, Sikkim lost some of its land to Nepal, but the monarchy was allowed to be restored in the country. *In 1791, China sent troops to support Sikkim and defend Tibet against the Gurkhas. Following Nepal's subsequent defeat, the [[Qing Dynasty]] established control over Sikkim. *In 1793, Tenzing’s son Tshudpud Namgyal, the seventh chogyal, returned to Sikkim to reclaim the throne with the help of China. Rabdantse was now, considered too insecure because of its proximity to the Nepal border and Tshudphund Namgyal shifted the capital to a place called Tumlong. *In 1863, Sedkeong Namgyal, the eight chogyal, succeeded his father Tshudpud. *In 1874, Thutob Namgyal, the ninth chogyal, succeeded his half-brother. In 1894, he moved the capital from Tumlong to Gangtok, building a new palace and government buildings. *In 1914, Sedkegong Tukul Namgyal, the tenth chogyal, succeeded his father. He only reigned eleven months, from February 10th to December 5th, dying of heart failure. *In 1914, Tashi Namgyal, the eleventh chogyal, succeeded his half-brother. He was crowned by the 13th Dalai Lama. He died in 1963. *In 1965, Palden Thondup Namgyal, the twelfth chogyal, succeeded his father. The coronation was delayed for two years after his father’s death. ==Toponymy== The most widely accepted origin of the name ''Sikkim'' is that it is a combination of two words in the Limbu language, ''su'', meaning "new", and ''khyim'', meaning "palace" or "house". This refers to the palace built by the rajadom's first ruler, Phuntsog Namgyal. The name for Sikkim in Tibetan is ''Denjong'', which means the "valley of rice". The name in Lepcha is ''Nye-mae-el'', meaning "paradise", and in Bhutia it is ''Beymul Demazong'', meaning "hidden valley of rice". ==Government== *Sikkim is a constitutional hereditary monarchy. The monarch is known as a raja, and the monarchy as a rajadom. *Sikkim has seven prefectures (the smallest adminstrative unit), each overseen by an elected official, the ???, who is in charge of the administration of the prefecture. There are seven towns and numerous villages. *The seven districts are Gangtok, Geyzing, Kalimpang, Kansigung, Mangan, Namachi, and Siliguri. These prefectures are named after the town which is the administrative center of the prefecture. *Sikkim has a unicameral legislature. ==Geography== *The rajadom is characterized by mountainous terrain in the northern four prefectures. Elevations range from 280 metres (920 ft) to 8,585 metres (28,000 ft). Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, is located on the border of Sikkim with Nepal. For the most part, the land is unfit for agriculture because of the precipitous and rocky slopes. However, certain hill slopes have been converted into farm lands using terrace farming techniques. *The Tista River, known as the "lifeline of Sikkim", originates at Cholamo Lake, the most sacred lake in Tibet, at an altitude of 5,330 m. The river is then fed by numerous snow-fed streams which have carved out river valleys in the west and south of the rajadom. The river then flows past the village of Rangpo where it forms part of the the border between ??? and ???. At Kalimpong the river is met by its main tributary, the Rangit River. At this point, it changes course southwards flowing entirely into Bangal. The river meets the plains at Sevok and finally merges with the mighty Brahmaputra. *About a third of the land is heavily forested. The Himalayan ranges surround the northern, eastern and western borders of Sikkim in a crescent. The Lower Himalayas in the southern reaches of the rajadom are the most densely populated. The rajadom has 28 mountain peaks, more than 80 glaciers, a number of hot springs, and more than 100 rivers and streams. Eight mountain passes connect the rajadom to Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal. *Sikkim's hot springs are known for medicinal and therapeutic values. They have a high sulphur content and are located near river banks. Some also emit hydrogen. The average temperature of the water in these hot springs is 50°C (122°F). ===Borders=== Sikkim is bordered by on the: North: Tibet<br> East: Tibet, Bhutan, Bangal<br> South: Bangal<br> West: Bangal, Nepal. '''The episode surrounding the sale of Darjeeling to the British East India Company in 1835 did not take place *there* so that Darjeeling remains a part of the Rajahdom of Sikkim. Thus, the rajadom is contiguous with *here's* Indian state of Sikkim and the Darjeeling District of the State of West Bengal.''' ==Climate== The climate ranges from sub-tropical in the south to tundra in the northern parts. The tundra-type region in the north is covered with snow for four months a year though the temperature drops below 0°C (32°F) almost every night. The peaks of north-western Sikkim are perpetually frozen. Most of the inhabited regions of Sikkim, however, have a temperate climate, with the temperatures seldom exceeding 28°C (82°F) in summer or dropping below 0°C (32°F) in winter. The mean monthly temperature in summer is 15°C. The rajadom has five seasons: winter, summer, spring, and autumn, and a monsoon season between June and September. The average annual temperature for most of Sikkim is around 18°C (64°F). Sikkim receives regular snowfall. The snow line ranges from 20,000 ft in the north to 16,000 ft in the south. During the monsoon, heavy rains increase the possibility of landslides. The record for the longest period of continuous rain is 11 days. In the northern region, because of the high altitude, temperatures drop below −40°C (−40°F) in winter. Fog also affects many parts of the rajadom during winter and the monsoons, making transportation perilous. ==Culture== *The Sikkimese celebrate all the major Hindu festivals such as Diwali and Dussera. Nepali festivals like Tihar and Bhimsen Puja are common. Losar, Loosong, Saga Dawa, Lhabab the Duechen, Drupka Teshi and Bhumchu are Buddhist festivals. *Indigenous Nepali and Lepcha music are popular. *Common sports in Sikkim are soccer and cricket. *Noodle-based dishes such as thukpa, thanthuk, fakthu, gyathuk and wonton are common in Sikkim. Momos, steamed dumplings filled with vegetables, buff (buffalo meat), or pork, and served with a soup, are a popular snack. Beer, whiskey, rum and brandy are widely consumed. ===National symbols=== *National bird: *National dance: *National fish: *National flag: *National flower: *National gem: *National individual sport: *National language: *National mammal: *National marine mammal: *National nickname: *National reptile: *National seal: *National slogan: *National soil: *National song: *National spirit: *National team sport: ==Economy== *Sikkim's economy is largely agrarian. The British introduced terraced farming of rice. Additional crops include maize, millet, wheat, barley, oranges, tea and cardamom. Sikkim has the highest production of and the largest area dedicated to cardamom in south Asia. *Because of the hilly terrain, and the lack of a reliable transportation infrastructure, there are no large-scale industries. Brewing, distilleries, tanning reaches of the rajadom, primarily in the villages of Melli and Jorethang. *Sikkim is a popular tourist destination owing to its culture, scenic beauty and biodiversity. In recent years, the government of Sikkim has extensively promoted tourism. As a result, the rajadom revenue has increased 14 times since the mid-1990s. There is excellent white water rafting on the Tista River. Trekking through the mountains and mountain climbing have proved to be popular. *A fledgling industry the rajadom has recently invested in is gambling. A casino was opened in March of 2009, the Casino Sikkim. Seven further casino licences are being considered by the government. A national lottery has been a commercial success and operates all over the country. *Among the minerals mined in Sikkim are copper, dolomite, talc, graphite, quartzite, coal, zinc and lead. *The opening of the Nathula Pass on July 6, 2006, connecting Lhasa, Tibet, to Bangal is expected to give a boost to the local economy, though the financial benefits will be slow to arrive. The pass was an extension to the south of the ancient Silk Road, which was essential to the wool, fur and spice trade. ==Demographics== *The native Sikkimese consist of the Bhutias who migrated from the Kham district of Tibet in the 14th century and the Lepchas who are believed to have migrated from the Far East. A large minority of Sikkim's residents are of Nepali origin who arrived in the 19th century. These have settled mainly in the three southern prefectures that border on Nepal (Darjeeling, Karsiyang, and Siliguri). Tibetans, mainly refugees, reside mainly in the northern Prefecture of Mangan. Immigrant resident communities also include Bengalis who own most of the shops in southern Sikkim and Gangtok. *Buddhism is the major religion in and the state religion of the rajadom. The particular expression is Vajrayana Buddhism of the Nyingma and Kagya traditions. It is practiced by all but the Nepalis who are Hindus. Sikkim has 75 Buddhist monasteries, the oldest dating back to the 1700s. Many of the Lepcha people are Christians, converted by British missionaries in the late 19th century. *The people of Sikkim are mainly Bhutia, Lepcha, and Limbu. These are the official languages. Many Nepali live in the Darjeeling District. Their language has become a lingua franca in the rajadom. *The population density is low, only 76 persons per square kilometre. *Its growth rate is 32.98%. *The sex ratio is 875 females to 1000 males. *The urban population in Sikkim is 13%. *The per capita income stands at Rs. 11,356, one of the highest in the Confederacy ==Infrastructure== *Sikkim receives most of its electricity from 19 hydroelectric power stations. It has achieved 100% rural electrification. *The rajadom government has promoted biogas and solar power for cooking but these have received a poor response and are used mostly for lighting purposes. *71% of the total households have access to safe drinking water and the large number of streams assures sufficient water supply. ==Education== *Literacy in Sikkim is 69.68%, which breaks down into 76.73% for males and 61.46% for females. *There are a total of 1157 schools, including 765 schools run by the rajadom government, 7 central government schools and 385 private schools. *Twelve colleges and other institutions in Sikkim offer higher education. The largest institution is the Sikkim Manipal University of Technological Sciences, which offers higher education in engineering, medicine and management. *It also runs a host of distance education programs in several fields. *There are two state-run polytechnical schools which offer diploma courses in various branches of engineering. *Many students, however, migrate to Kolkata, Bangalore and other Bangali cities for their higher education. ==Flora and fauna== *'''Flora''' **The forested regions of the rajadom exhibit a diverse range of flora and fauna. Owing to its altitudinal gradation, the rajadom has a wide variety of plants, from tropical to temperate to alpine and tundra. It is perhaps one of the few regions of the world to exhibit such a diversity within such a small area. Nearly 81% of the area of Sikkim comes under the administration of its forest department. The flora of Sikkim include the rhododendronwith a wide range of species occurring from subtropical to alpine regions. **In the Himalayan subtropical broadleaf forests of the lower altitudes of Sikkim, grow orchids, figs, laurel, bananas, sal trees and bamboo. **The Himalayan subtropical pine forests are dominated by Chir pine. In the lower elevations are found juniper, pine, firs, cypresses and rhododendrons. Higher up are Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows, home to a broad variety of rhododendrons and wildflowers. **In the temperate elevations above 1500 ft there are eastern Himalayan broadleaf forests where oaks, chestnuts, maples, birches, alders, and magnolias grow in large numbers. **The alpine vegetation is typically found between an altitude of 3,500 to 5,000 ft. **Sikkim has around 5,000 flowering plants, 515 rare orchids, 60 primula species, 36 rhododendron species, 11 oak species, 23 bamboo species, 16 conifer species, 362 species of ferns and their allies, eight tree ferns, and over 424 medicinal plants. A variant of the poinsettia, locally known as the "Christmas Flower", can be found in abundance in the mountainous rajadom. The orchid ''Dendrobium nobile'' is the national flower of Sikkim. *'''Fauna''' **The fauna include the snow leopard, the musk deer, the bhoral, the Himalayan tahr, the red panda, the Himalayan marmot, the serow, the goral, the barking deer, the common langur, the Himalayan black bear, the clouded leopard the marbled cat, the leopard cat, the wild dog, the Tibetan wolf, the hog badger, the binturong, the jungle cat and the civet. Among the animals more commonly found in the alpine zone are yaks, reared mainly for their milk and meat and for use as a beast of burden. **The avifauna of Sikkim consist of the Impeyan pheasant, the crimson horned pheasant, the snow partridge, the snow cock, the lammergeyer and griffon vulture, as well as golden eagles, quail, plovers, woodcock, sandpipers, pigeons, Old World flycatchers, Old World babbler, and robins. Sikkim has more than 550 species of birds, some of which have been declared endangered. **Sikkim also has a rich diversity of arthropods, many of which remain unstudied. Of approximately 1,438 butterfly species found in the Indian subcontinent, 695 have been recorded from Sikkim. These include the endangered kaiser-i-hind, the yellow gorgon and the Bhutan glory.

A tropical and subtropical climate exists in the Terai Region. Outside the Terai, however, the climate is completely different. The remarkable differences in climatic conditions are primarily related to the enormous range of altitude within such a short north-south distance. The presence of the east to west Himalayas to the north and the monsoonal alteration of wet and dry seasons also greatly contribute to local variations in climate. There are five climatic zones in Nepal based on altitude, the tropical and subtropical zone below 1,200 meters in altitude, the cool, temperate zone of 1,200 to 2,400 meters, the cold zone of 2,400 to 3,600 meters, the subarctic climatic zone of 3,600 to 4,400 meters, and the arctic zone above 4,400 meters. *Altitude also affects annual rainfall or precipitation patterns. Up to about 3,000 meters, annual rainfall totals increase as the altitude increases. Thereafter, annual totals diminish with increasing altitude and latitude. In addition to this latitudinal differentiation in rainfall, two other patterns can be discerned. First, given the northwestward movement of the moisture-laden summer monsoon (June to September), the amount of annual rainfall generally decreases from east to west. Second, the horizontal extension of hill and mountain ranges creates a moist condition on south- and east-facing slopes whereas it produces a major rain shadow on the northern sides of the slopes. The aridity increases with altitude and latitude, especially on the northern slopes, and reaches its climax in the inner Himalayan region and on the Tibetan Plateau. Eastern Nepal receives approximately 2,500 millimeters of rain annually, the Kathmandu area about 1,420 millimeters, and western Nepal about 1,000 millimeters. *The towering Himalayas play a critical role, blocking the northwesterly advances of moist, tropical air from the Bay of Bengal, and ultimately leading to its conversion to rain in the summer. In the winter, this range prevents the outbursts of cold air from Inner Asia from reaching southern Nepal and northern India, thus ensuring warmer winters in these regions than otherwise would be the case. *In addition, there are seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, depending on the monsoon cycle. The pre-monsoon season generally occurs during April and May, characterized by the highest temperatures, reaching 40° C during the day in the Terai and other lowlands. The hills and mountains, however, remain cool. *The summer monsoon, a strong flow of moist air from the southwest, follows the pre-monsoon season. Even though the arrival of the summer monsoon can vary by as much as a month, in Nepal it generally arrives in early June, preceded by violent thunderstorms and lightning, and lasts through September, when it begins to recede. The plains and lower Himalayas receive more than 70 percent of their annual precipitation during the summer monsoon. The amount of summer monsoon rain generally declines from southeast to northwest as the maritime wedge of air gradually becomes thinner and dryer. Although the success of farming is almost totally dependent on the timely arrival of the summer monsoon, it periodically causes such problems as landslides; subsequent losses of human lives, farmlands, and other properties (not to mention great difficulty in the movement of goods and people); and heavy flooding in the plains. Conversely, when prolonged breaks in the summer monsoon occur, severe drought and famine often result. *The post-monsoon season begins with a slow withdrawal of the monsoon. This retreat leads to an almost complete disappearance of moist air by mid-October, thus ushering in generally cool, clear, and dry weather. The post-monsoon season lasts until about December. *After the post-monsoon, comes the winter monsoon, a strong northeasterly flow marked by occasional, short rainfalls in the lowlands and plains and snowfalls in the high-altitude areas. The amount of precipitation resulting from the northeast land trade winds varies considerably but increases markedly with elevation. The secondary winter precipitation in the form of snow in the Himalayas is important for generating a sufficient volume of spring and summer meltwaters, which are critical for irrigation in the lower hills and valleys where agriculture predominates. Winter precipitation is also are indispensable for the success of winter crops, such as wheat, barley, and numerous vegetables. ==Economy== *The chief occupations, which employ more than 60% of the workforce, are small-scale subsistence farming (rice, corn, root crops, citrus fruit, barley, wheat, potatoes) and the raising of yaks, cattle, sheep, pigs, and ''tanguns'', a sturdy breed of pony valued in mountain transportation. *Wood and leather products, processed foods, alcoholic beverages, calcium carbide, textiles, and handicrafts are also important. *Fuels, grain, machinery, vehicles, and fabrics are the major imports. *Cardamom and other spices, gypsum, timber, handicrafts, fruit, and precious stones are the primary exports. *Hydroelectric power is a most important resource, with some electricity being exported to India. *Tourism is a significant though restricted activity, and it is the country's largest source of foreign exchange. ==Demographics== ==Culture== ===National symbols=== *National mammal: cow *National bird: [[Wikipedia:Himalayan Monal|Himalayan monal]] (''danfe'') (''Lophophorus impejans'') *National fish: [[Wikipedia:mahseer|golden mahseer]] (''sahar'') (''Tor putatoria'') *National reptile: [[Wikipedia:gharial|gharial]] (''Gavialis gangeticus'') *National flower: rhododendron (''Rhododendron arboreum'') *[[Wikipedia:Nepalese cuisine|National dish]]: [[Wikipedia:Dal bhat|Dal Bhat]] *National emblem: Gules, in chief a stylized crescent moon with eight rays visible out of sixteen and in base a stylized twelve-rayed sun white bearing human faces, a bordure azure. **For a crest, standing on a snow-capped mountain a monal proper. **For supporters, standing on a grassy compartment on the dexter a zebu bull and on the sinister a zebu cow rampant proper, charged on their shoulders with a [[Wikipedia:Dharma wheel|dharma wheel]] or. **All in front of a rhodedendron tree proper. *National dress: daura suruwal for men; [[Wikipedia:sari|sari]] for women *National anthem: '''Shri man gumbhira''' :Shri man gumbhira nepali prachanda pratapi bhupati :Shri pach sarkar maharajadhiraja ko sada rahos unnati :Rakhun chi rayu eeshale praja phailiyos pukaraun jaya premale :Hami nepali bhaeesarale.

The hilly and mountainous terrain in the northern two-thirds of the country has made the building of roads and other infrastructure difficult and expensive. There are just over 8,500 km. (5,282 mi.) of paved two-lane roads. The Trans-Confederacy rail line links Kathmandu with Jammu City to the west and Darjeeling to the east. Internally, the poor state of development of the road system makes volume distribution unrealistic. Landlocked, rugged geography, few tangible natural resources and poor infrastructure are all factors in stunting the economic growth. There is less than one telephone per 19 people. Landline telephone services are not adequate nationwide but are concentrated in cities and district headquarters. Mobile telephony is in a reasonable state in most parts of the country with increased accessibility and affordability. There were around 175,000 internet connections in 2005. ==Education== ==Flora and fauna== MON IB 8315 55372 2010-08-02T13:46:47Z Caeruleancentaur 11 /* National symbols */ {{proposal}} Sikkim is a small constitutional monarchy in the Himalayan mountains, inhabited mostly by a Tibetan people.

Ther 29 kings ruled for about 1225 years (800 BCE-300 CE). Their first and best-remembered king was Yalambar, who is referenced in the epic [[Mahabharata]]. * The first king, Yalambar, laid the foundation of the Kirat dynasty after defeating the last ruler of the Abhir dynasty. When the Kirats occupied the valley, they made Matatirtha their capital. During his reign the kingdom extended to the Tista River in the east and the Trisidi in the West. *During the reign of the seventh king, Jitedasti, [[Gautama Buddha]] visited the valley with his several disciples. He visited the holy places and preached his religion. Although the Kirats welcomed the Lord Buddha and his disciples, they refused to follow his doctrine,. *During the reign of the 14th king, Sthunko, the Indian Emperor Asoka came to the Kathmandu Valley with his daughter, princess Charumati. During his stay in the valley, he arranged for the marriage of his daughter Charumati to a local prince named Devpal. Prince Devpal and his wife Charumati lived at Chabahil near the Pashupati area. After the death of her husband in his memory, Charumati who later became a nun also built a convent where she lived and practiced the Lord Buddha's teaching. *During the reign of the 15th king, Jinghri, the religious teaching of the Mahavira Jain was being preaching in India. Bhadrabhau, a disciple of the Mahavira Jain, came to Nepal, but Jainism never acquired the popularity of Buddhism in Nepal. *During the reign of the 28th king, Paruka, the Sombanshi ruler attacked his kingdom many times from the west. Although these attacks were repelled, he was forced to move from Gokarna to Shankhamul. *The 29th and last king of the Kirat dynasty was Gasti, a weak ruler who was overthrown by the Sombanshi ruler Nimisha. After their defeat, the Kirats moved to the eastern hills of Nepal and settled down, dividing into three small principalities, Wallokirat to the east of the Katmandu Valley; Majkirat, the central Kirat region; and Pallokirat to the far east of the Kathmandu Valley. ===The Maurya Period=== *One of the earliest confederations of South Asia was that of the Shakya clan, whose capital was Kapilvastu, Nepal. Siddhartha Gautama (563-483 BCE) who renounced his royalty to lead an ascetic life and came to be known as the Buddha was born to the Shakya king Sudhodhan. But by 260 BCE, most of northern India and southern Nepal were ruled by the Maurya Empire. *Although not all of Nepal was under Maurya occupation, there is evidence of the influence at least of the Maurya Emperor Asoka, the legendary Buddhist proselytiser and ruler from 273 BCE to 232 BCE. Asoka was a visitor to Kathmandu during this period and his daughter married a local prince, further spreading the religion. ===The Lichavi Dynasty=== *The documented history of Nepal begins with the Changu Narayan temple inscription of King Manadeva I (c.464-505) of the Lichavi dynasty. The Lichavis are said to have migrated into Nepal from north India around 250. King Anshuverma opened trade routes to Tibet. His daughter, Bhrikuti, married Tibetan ruler Tsrong-tsong Gompo, who was instrumental in spreading the gospel of the Buddha in Tibet and China. *King Narendradeval initiated friendly relations with China and his successors laid the foundations of friendship with India by entering into matrimonial alliances with the Indian royal families. *Lichavi rule spanned a period of about 630 years; the last king was Jayakamadeva. ===The Thakuri Dynasty=== *The Thakuri dynasty was a Rajput dynasty. Many Thakuri kings ruled over the country up to the middle of the 12th century. *Raghava Dev is said to have founded a ruling dynasty in October, 869, when the Lichavi rule came to an end. To commemorate this important event, Raghava Dev started the 'Nepal Era' which began on October 20, 869. *After the death of King Raghava Dev, many Thakuri kings ruled over Nepal up to the middle of the 12th century A.D. *King Gunakama Dev (949-994) built a big wooden house out of a single tree which was called ''Kasthamandup''. From ''Kasthamandup'' is derived the name ''Katamndu''. Gunakama Dev founded the town ofKantipur, today's Kathmandu. *Vijaykama Dev was the last king of this dynasty. After his death, the Thakuri clan of Nuwakot occupied the throne of Nepal. ===The Nuwakot Thakuri Kings=== *Bhasker Dev succeeded Vijayakama Dev, establishing Nuwakot-Thakuri rule in the country. *1) Shanker Dev was the most illustrious ruler of this dynasty; he ruled from 1067 to 1080. During his reign, the Buddhists wreaked vengeance on the Hindu Brahmins (especially the followers of Shivism) for the harm they had received earlier from Shankaracharya III. Shaner Dev tried to pacify the Brahmins harassed by the Buddhists. ===The Suryabansi Rajput Kings=== *Bam Dev, a descendant of Amshuverma, defeated Shanker Dev in 1080 and suppressed the Nuwakot-Thakuris with the help of the nobles and restored the old Solar Dynasty rule in Nepal for the second time. *Harsha Dev, the successor of Bam Dev, was a weak ruler. There was no unity among the nobles and they asserted themselves in their respective spheres of influence. Taking this opportunity, Nanya Dev, a Karnatak king, invaded Nepal from Simroungarh. He took us residence at Bhadgaon and ruled for some time. *Mukunda Sen, the King of Palpa, was another invader of the Nepal valley. He plundered and destroyed many houses and looted a huge amount of property. ===The Malla Dynasaty=== *After the fall of the Thakuri dynasty in the 12th century, another dynasty's reign started in Nepal, founded by Arideva or Ari Malla. This dynasty is popularly known as the Malla Dynasty. Over the next two centuries it grew into a large empire before disintegrating into small principalities which became known as the Baise Rajya, i.e., the twenty-two principalities. This was more or less coincidental with the emergence of the Chaubisi Rajya, i.e., the twenty-four principalities. The history of these principalities remains shrouded up until the time when they joined other kingdoms, both large and small, to form the unified Kingdom of Nepal. *Jayasthiti Malla reigned towards the end of the 14th century. Though his rule was rather short, his place among the rulers in the Valley is eminent because of his various social and economic reforms such as the 'Sanskritization' of the Valley people and new methods of land measurement and allocation. *Yakshya Malla, the grandson of Jayasthiti Malla, ruled the Kathmandu Valley until almost the end of the 15th century. After his death, about 1484, the Valley was divided into three independent Valley kingdoms, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. This division led the Malla rulers into internecine wars for territorial and commercial gains. *Mutually debilitating wars gradually weakened them and by the time of the invasion of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, they had by themselves reached the brink of political extinction. The last rulers were Jaya Prakash Malla of Kathmandu, Tej Narsingh Malla of Patan, and Ranjit Malla of Bhaktapur. ===The Shah Dynasty=== *With Prithvi Narayan Shah (c.1769-1775), Nepal enters the modern period of Nepal's history. He was the ninth generation descendant of Dravya Shah (1559–1570), the founder of the ruling house of Gorkha. Prithvi Narayan Shah succeeded his father King Nara Bhupal Shah on the throne of Gorkha in 1743. **King Prithvi Narayan Shah was quite aware of the political situation of the Valley kingdoms as well as of the Barsi and Chaubisi principalities. He foresaw the need for unifying the small principalities as an urgent condition for survival in the future and set himself to the task. **His assessment of the situation among the hill principalities was correct, and the principalities were subjugated fairly easily. His victory march began with the conquest of Nuwakot, which lies between Kathmandu and Gorkha, in 1744. After Nuwakot, he occupied strategic points in the hills surrounding the Kathmandu Valley. Thus the Valley's communications with the outside world were cut off. The occupation of the Kuti Pass in about 1756 stopped the Valley's trade with Tibet. **Finally, he entered the Valley. At the victory of Kirtipur, King Jaya Prakash Malla of Kathmandu was defeated by King Prithvi Narayan Shah's army. The capture of Kathmandu on September 25, 1768, was dramatic. As the people of Kathmandu were celebrating the festival of Indrajatra, Prithvi Narayan Shah and his men marched into the city. A throne was put on the palace courtyard for the new King of Kathmandu. Prithvi Narayan Shah sat on the throne and was hailed by the people as the King of Kathmandu. Jaya Prakash Malla managed to escape with his life and sought asylum in Patan. When Patan was captured a few weeks later, both Jaya Prakash Malla and the King of Patan, Tej Narsingh Mallal, took refuge in Bhaktapur, which was also captured after some time. Thus the Kathmandu Valley was conquered by King Prithvi Narayan Shah and Kathmandu became the capital of the modern Nepal in 1769. **King Prithvi Narayan Shah was successful in bringing together diverse religiousa and ethnic groups in one natiol. He was a true nationalist in his outlook and was in favor of adopting a closed-door policy with regard to hisneighbors. His social and economic views not only guided the country's socio-economic course for a long time, but his use of the imagery, ''a yam between two boulders'' with regard to Nepal's geopolitical situation, formed the principal guideline of the country`s foreign policy for future centuries. ==Toponymy== ==Government== {| align="center" style="margin:1em" padding="0.5em" |+ '''Rajadom of Sikkim symbols''' |- | '''State day''' | ???

Its early history is shrouded in legend, myth and mystery, but there are records of events in the Kali Kandaki Valley as early as the 8th century. According to local legend Padmasambhava, the great founder of Tibetan Buddhism came to the Kali Kandaki Valley on his way to Tibet. The first empereor of Tibet, Trisong Detsen, (742-797) was desirous of introducing Buddhism to his empire, but his desire was thwarted by evil mountain deities. Learning of the holiness of Padmasambhava, the emperor invited him to come and do battle with these evil powers. Guru Rinpoche, as he is known in Tibet, on his way through eastern Lo, in 775 built the temple of Ghar Gompa (House Temple) which still stands guard today. He arrived in Tibet 810 and used his tantric powers to subdue the evil deities he encountered along the way. He founded the first monastery in the country, Samye Gompa, initiated the first monks, and introduced the people to the practice of Tantric Buddhism. It is also quite likely that the Tibetan poet Milarepa, who lived from 1040 to 1123, visited Lo. ===14th Century=== *It is generally believed that the warrior Ame Pal was the founder king of the Buddhist Kingdom of Lo in 1380. Shres-rab la-ma was the military commander and provincial commissioner of Lo for the Gung-thang kings. He held a semi-independent status, which allowed him to secure the government for his lineal descendants. His grandson, Ame Pal consolidated his power and extended his influence over a wide region in western Tibet, eventually establishing his own kingdom. His Gung-thang overlords recognised him as an independent ruler, with the title of ''chos-gyal''. His kingdom remained closely tied by language and culture to Tibet. Ame Pal, or perhaps his father, conquered a large part of the territory in the upper Kali Kandaki and was responsible for the development of the city of Lo Manthang and for constructing many gompas (temples). The ancestry of the present Raja can be traced back 25 generations to Ame Pal. **For a time, Lo was part of Ngari, a name for far western Tibet. Ngari was not a true political entity, but rather a loose collection of feudal domains that also included parts of Dolpo (now a district of Nepal). By the 14th century, much of Ngari, as well as most of what today is western Nepal, was part of the Malla Empire governed from the capital at Sinja, near Jumla. **Ame Pal's successors continued to rule independently until the second quarter of the sixteenth century. After many battles and countless incursions, the neighbouring principality of Jumla established control over Lo, and for a time no paramount ruler was recognised. The Jumla rajas divided the principality amongst regional commissioners and governors, these offices being filled by various members of the Lo ruling family. ===16th Century=== *Gya-hor-pal-zang recovered a measure of independence from Jumla and was recognised as ''chogyal'', about 1560. However, his brother and successor succumbed to Jumla rule once more, and his descendants continued as vassals for the next century. ===18th Century=== *The Malla Empire declined and split into numerous petty hill states. By the 18th century, Jumla had consolidated and reasserted its power. In an effort to develop their domain as a trading center and to obtain Tibetan goods, the rulers of Jumla turned their attention eastward. In 1740, they assumed control over Lo, from which they extracted an annual tribute. *Since the valley was the easiest corridor through the mighty Himalaya linking the Tibetan Plateau to southern Asia, it became a major trading center. Great caravans of sheep and yaks brought loads from Tibet to Lo where theys were transferred to the mules and goats more suited to travel in the warmer lowlands. Southwards the trade was in salt, wool, musk, borax and tsampa; heading north was rice, grain, and textiles *When he ascended the throne in 1762, Prithvi Narayan Shah, founder of the house of Gurkha, began to consolidate what is present-day Nepal. He conquered Jumla and laid claim to Lo. Although Lo was forced to pay tribute for protection, they regained a large measure of autonomy. Prithvi Narayan Shah went on to conquer much of what is now modern Nepal. At the time of his death in 1775, the kingdom extended from Gorkha eastward to the borders of Sikkim. His descendants directed their efforts westward and by 1789, Jumla had been annexed. *The vassal rulers of Lo made several valiant, but unsuccessful, attempts to re-establish their independence. Their chance finally came in 1788 when the Nepalese Regent, Prince Bahadur Shah, requested an alliance to complete his plans for unifying Nepal. He needed the help of Anjia Dorje to subdue the Raja of Jumla, Lo’s overlod. In 1790, after the successful completion of the war, Anjia Dorje accepted Nepalese sovereignty and, as payment for his help, secured the return of some of the lands that had been annexed outright by Jumla, namely lower Lo, Manang, and Dolpo. Thereafter he was recognised as a tributary ruler with the hereditary title of Raja of Lo. He received a crown recognising his new status from the Maharajadhiraja of Nepal and was granted a gold and plumed crown by the Emperor of China, which now form part of theTog-gsum or regalia of the rajadom. He was a religious and cultural reformer who renovated monasteries and monuments, built several temples and a modern palace, and invited learned lamas to settle in Lo. ===The Rajas of Lo=== 1) Sa-ang, 1656–1710, father of 2) Je Ang, 1711–1723, father of 3) Krathis Namgyal, 1723-c.1728, father of 4) Tenzing Anjia, c.1728-c.1750. father of 5) ''Nor-zin de-legs-bang-mo'' 1728-1734, regent for her son 5) Anjia Dorje, c.1750–1797, father of 6) Krathis Ningpo, 1797–1815, uncle of 7) Jampel Traldus, 1815–1837, father of 8) Kunga Norbu, 1837–1857, father of Jamian Angdu, 1857–1863, reigned under the regency of his mother. Never installed or crowned and thus addressed as Gyal-ras (prince) only, brother of 9) ''Gyal-mo Kra-shis-bu-khrid'', 1857–1863, regent for her son 9) Ngodup Palbar, 1863–1893, brother of 10) ''Gyal-mo Tshe-chog srol-ma'', 1863–1868, regent for her brother-in-law 10) Jambian Pelbar, 1893–1935, father of 11) Angun Tenzing Trandul, 1935–1955, 1st time, father of 12) Angdu Nyingpo, 1955–1958 Angun Tenzing Trandul, 1958–1964, 2nd time, father of 13) Jigme Pelbar Bista, 1964–, uncle of ''Ashok Bishta'', heir apparent, son of Lama Shabthung Rimpoche, brother of the Raja. ==Toponymy== ==Government== ==Geography== *The Rajadom of Lo is an enchanting land of windswept vistas, red walled monasteries, and feudal towns, located on the Central Asian plateau. It lies between Tibet on the north, and the Nepali districts of Dolpa to the west, Myagdi to the south, and Manang to the east. It is an extension of the Tibetan plateau with an average elevation of over 3,000 m. Located to the north of the highest mountains Dhaulagiri and Annapurna and to the north of the main Himalayan range and geographically part of the Tibetan highlands, it is roughly 80 km long (north-south) and 45 km at its widest giving it an area of 3,573 km2. *The main feature of the Rajadom of Lo is the Kali Gandaki river, its valley and tributaries. It runs north-east to south-west towards Nepal Terai, bisecting the country. The river was once the major trade route between Tibet and India, especially for salt. Part of the river valley, the Thak Khola, a downfaulted graben, is the deepest gorge in the world. According to the difference between the river elevation and these peaks, this is the world's deepest gorge. The gorge separates the major peaks Dhaulagiri (8,167 m/26,795 ft) to the west and Annapurna (8,091 m/26,545 ft) to the east. The river runs at elevations between 1,300 and 2,600 metres (4,300 and 8,500 ft), 5,500 to 6,800 metres (18,000–22,300 ft) lower than the peaks. The river is older than the Himalayas. As tectonic activity forced the mountains higher, the river cut down through the uplift. The river rises along the Tibet border and the coincident Ganges-Brahmaputra divide and flows south through the Rajadom. The gorge begins at Kagbeni where the Himalayan ranges begin to close in. The river then continues southwards past Jomsom, Marpha and Tukuche to the deepest part of the gorge in the area of Lete. The gorge then broadens past Dana and Tatopani towards Beni. *The landscape is of indescribable vastness and beauty, a vast high valley, arid and dry. The valley is characterized by eroded canyons, colorful rock formations with a barren, desert-like appearance. The hills tend to be great red fluted cliffs of tiny round stones cemented together by mud. One of the most fascinating features of the Rajadom of Lo is the thousands of cliff dwellings, some of which look completely inaccessible. Rimmed by more than 20,000 snowcapped peaks and bathed in hues of orange and red rocks with sporadic fields of vibrant green, yellow and red of barley, maize, and buckwheat, the Rajadom of Lo is a step back to a simpler time. *The countryside is similar to the Tibetan plateau with its endless expanses of yellow and grey rolling hills eroded by wind. Strong winds often blow across the valley in the afternoon, generally subsiding at night. Lying in the rain shadow of the Himalaya, Lo has much less rain than Nepal. Annual precipitation is between 250 and 400 mm. During the monsoon the skies are cloudy and there is some rain. In the winter there is usually snow; sometimes as much as 30 or 40 cm accumulating on the ground. *The mountains are home to 101 species of mammals including snow leopard, musk deer, Tibetan argali, Tibetan wolf, Tibetan fox; 474 species of birds; 39 species of reptiles and 22 species of amphibians; as well as the mythical mehti (abominable snowman). A total of 1226 species of plants can be found in the mountains including 38 orchid species and nine rhododendron species *Villages are several hours apart and appear in the distance almost as mirages; during the summer season, after the crops are planted, they are green oases in the desert-like landscape. '''As mentioned above, land was restored to the Rajahdom of Lo, so that the nation is now contiguous with *here's* Nepali districts of Mustang, Dolpo, and Manang.''' ===Borders=== Lo is bordered by on the: North: Tibet<br> East: Nepal<br> South: Nepal<br> West: Nepal ==Climate== ==Economy== ==Demographics== ==Culture== ===National symbols=== *National mammal 1: Tibetan sand fox (''Vulpes ferrilata'') *National mammal 2: *National bird: *National reptile: MacClelland's coral snake (''Sinomicruris macclellandi'') *National fish: *National flower: *National tree: *National gem: *National flag: *National language: *National nickname: *National seal: *National slogan: *National song: *National spirit: *National individual sport: *National team sport: *National dance: ==Infrastructure== ==Education== ==Flora and fauna== File:EmmaWatsonf3.JPG 8317 55445 2010-08-07T16:00:12Z EmmaWatsonf3 1406 User:EmmaWatsonf3 8318 55446 2010-08-07T16:04:57Z EmmaWatsonf3 1406 Created page with '[[File:EmmaWatsonf3.JPG|left]] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Halfway through the novel, we are given the following sample of the '''Balloonist language'''. The apostrophes represent glottal stops (a common feature in alien languages in old sci-fi stories). ''Ma'iya'a hi'i'' (these creatures unlike us) ''hu'u ha'iye'i'' (are vicious animals). ''Ni'u'a mali'i na'a hu'iha (they have killed my song). Also,''ha'aye'i'' is the name of the shark-like enemies of the Balloonists. Talk:Balloonist language (Jem) 8335 55662 2010-08-23T04:01:24Z LinguarumMagister 1398 Someone should develop this into a full language :-D : Well, the root hu- or hu'- appears in both sentences. Perhaps it's a verbal base like Korean -pnida or -eyo? And the word for "enemy" and "song" seem to be related. ::Yes, hu is definitely a candidate for a verbal root. But regarding "enemy", I think the root-family is actually "iya" (creature), "iye" (vicious animal), "aye" (ha'aye'i specifically). I suppose the obvious thing to presume is that the middle "y" denotes animal, the last vowel denotes a friendliness-hostility spectrum, and the first vowel is some kind of identifier. But this ignores the other parts of the words... ::: My partial analysis of the morphemic structure is thus (with numbers for the unidentified roots): Sentence 1 ma-'iy-a-'a hi-'i hu-'u ha-'iy-e-'i 1-creature-nonhostile-2 3-4 verbalbase-be 5-creature-hostile-4 These creatures unlike us are vicious animals. Sentence 2 ni-'u-'a ma-li-'i na-'a hu-'i-ha 6-be-2 1-7-4 8-2 verbalbase-2-5 They have killed my song. Sentence 3 ha-'ay-e-'i 5-creaturetype2-hostile-2 shark Morpheme 4 (-'i) seems to be an adjectival suffix in "hi'i" "unlike (or these)", "mali'i" "my", and "ha'aye'i" "shark" (the last is probably substantive). Sentence 1 is a predicate sentence SVO. Sentence 2 is an indicative SOV sentence. SOV suggests that the adjective (mali'i) precedes its nouns (na'a "song"). That's all I've got for now.

This is a description of Classical Fortunatian (fl. 12c ACE). =Phonology= The Fortunatian alphabet has 20 letters. There are also four digraphs which are not considered part of the alphabet, but probably should be. a [a] b [b] c [k] before /a/, /o/, /u/, /y/ d [d] e [e, ɛ] g [ʤ] f [f] h [etymological, or diaeresis marker] i [i], [j] before another vowel m [m] n [n] o [ə] p [p] qu [k] before /e/, /i/ r [r] s [s] t [t] u [u] x [ʃ] y [ɨ] Non-Alphabetic Digraphs au [o] ch [ʧ] hu [w] - this can (rarely) occur before a consonant nh [ɲ] =Gender and Number= Fortunatian has no declension, but three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter) and two numbers (singular and plural). Note that the Classical Latin third declension has merged with the neuter of the second declension. Nouns and adjectives use the same ending. The root bon- "good" may be used to show the pattern. xorbync bonync a good servant huemnonc bononc a good woman omnoc bonoc a good man (yes, 'man' is neuter) xorbaux bonaux good servants huemnax bonax good women omnex bonex good men =Etruscan-Derived Vocabulary= Most of the Etruscan derived vocabulary was borrowed by the early Christians and transformed into Christian sacramental vocabulary. abbess - otonc abbot - ofync anchoress, nun - xechonc anchorite, monk - rubync autumn - autynync calculation (esp. of Easter) - ocaroc caretaker - texintync, texintonc child - uxiuroc church - achoc congregation - raucoc cross - tauroc (originally 'tomb', influenced by Greek 'stavros') cup - curimnonc, taunonc, xanenonc the dead - xibex diocese - mocloc eagle - coptonc font, baptismal - tinhonc god, false - ureroc grandmother - tetonc heaven - uratoc honey - matoc idol - exoroc incense - turonc jug - yrfeonc June - ocoroc king - lucmaunhync lion - roync martyr, saint - xiboc monastic - ofanync, -onc, -oc moon - tiync noon - yranhoc nurse - nonoc offering - arfnync, arfasoc, clebonc, tyxonc only - tus pagan - cricync, criconc, rumachync, rumachonc people - mechync, rononc prayer - molhenonc priest - fafonc (m.) priesthood - arymnatoc rite - xeroc room - queronc sanctuary - xamoc September - cheroc son (esp.

Also of interest: I mistook ''my own word'' here. In my translation into Kelen, I read ''falele'', which means "forest", as something like "grass plains". What a goof! *{{note|4|4}}The pronoun ''uei'' doesn't occur in the previous clause, so it must be introduced as a new subject with ''au''. *{{note|5|5}}''Ae'' can be used since the previous object is ''uei''. The object markers were omitted in both clauses. Both subject pronouns can be removed on account of the subject status markers. *{{note|6|6}}Missing object marker before ''u'', unnecessary subject pronoun, but the change to ''aleale'' is something that my grammar simply could not have explained. That changed it to "traveling food". I also ''completely'' misunderstood what "selling things across the ocean" meant.

But the blood of the deer challenged the man(???). Next, the large animal attacked. It howled and called 1728 elks who chased the man. Many deer bit. The man died. Some thoughts on translating this to Rejistanian: The deer would become a pudu in Rejistanian since the rejistanians generalize from this term, not have a generic term for 'deer'. " Úk mishlóahulukun kukánoholùikurhr" tripped me up. I had very little idea what he was saying there, thus the approximation from what I got and what the story told me. It in general seems to be quite hard to see where one morpheme ends and the next one starts. Some of these issues had me thinking for hours. The stances were actually quite neat and inspired the class of intentional auxilliary verbs in Rejistanian. The rejistanian translation is this: Vudux'het rukux Vudux'het mi'la'arka hej'he'han ,demna'het'mi mi'la'rala'svantu hej'he'han, venil. Tevme'het mi'la'tari kaju'het hej'he'ja.

It is not related to any other languages, real or imagined. The Angosian sentence structure is Verb-Subject-Object, and nouns and pronouns follow an Ergative-Absolutive pattern. Verbs, postpositions, and the third person pronoun inflect (or conjugate) for the class of the noun they are associated with. However, verbs only agree with an ergative noun. (In other words, in a sentence with only one verb and one noun, the verb will not inflect for the noun’s gender). Nouns belong to six gender classes. Absolutive nouns are preceded by a gender particle. Verbs with an ergative subject, postpositions, and the third person pronoun are conjugated according to the class of noun they modify/represent. Noun Class Absolutive Particle Conjugation Physical au nd-/nda- Emotional al ng-/nga- Situational ay sa-/s- Temporal sa sa-/s- Spatial in in- Abstract tha houa- Objects in the physical noun class are concrete, inanimate objects, such as rocks, trees, water, etc. Objects in the emotional noun class include emotions, words for people, and animals. Situational nouns describe a situation, or state of being (i.e. “war”, “death”, etc) Temporal nouns are associated with time. Spatial nouns are associated with location. Abstract nouns have to do with ideas or concepts (language, law, etc) Adjectives are rare; most adjectives are handled either by splitting a phrase into two sentences or by using postpositional phrases. If present, adjectives always follow the noun they modify. Word Modifiers: On a noun: The suffix “-eo” denotes the object of a postposition, or that the noun possesses something The suffix “ya” denotes plurality, “yeo” = ya+eo On a verb: The suffix “al” is the far past tense. The suffix “aya” or “ya” is the emotive aspect. It means that the action is important to the speaker. If the verb ends in “eya,” its emotive form will replace “eya” with “aya” (seya->saya) Adverbs: The suffix “-ka” converts a noun, verb, or adjective into an adverb.

On seeing this, the pigs in the stable squealed and rejoiced. == Vocabulary == {| class="prettytable" |- | amid || N || strength |- | an || PRON || 3SG common pronoun (ACC adek; DAT aten; GEN ates) |- | anda || PP || within, during |- | anizu || ADV || one time, once |- | antuza || N || person, man |- | asin || V || to sit |- | aswa || N || horse |- | baruzan || V || to attack |- | bir || CJ || but, however |- | wapiyan || V || to roar, to wail |- | wenizin || V || to knock down, to defeat |- | weredin || V || to injure |- | ge || ADV || relative particle |- | eti || PP || on, atop |- | is || CJ || and |- | -k || case || ACC marker |- | kweyan || V || to kill |- | kivan || V || to become |- | krespa || N || back (of body) |- | kus || PP || with, via, by means of |- | -l || number || plural marker |- | -laba || aspect || active participle |- | meshatun || V || to stop, to prevent |- | muzke || N || peasant, commoner |- | -n || case || DAT marker |- | nap || PP || to, towards |- | -ne || aspect || 3PL conjugation |- | niharkun || V || to throw away, to throw off |- | panun || V || to kick |- | pata || N || foot |- | pravine || ADV || truly, indeed |- | -r || aspect || S past conjugation |- | rad || ADJ || happy |- | -s || case || GEN marker |- | supala || N || animal |- | sfina || N || pig |- | sfisin || V || to squeal |- | -t || aspect || 3SG conjugation |- | tepitan || V || to trample, to stomp |- | uskin || V || to see |- | femest || CJ || instead, rather |- | fesnun || V || to escape, to flee |- | haruna || N || barn |- | heyihan || V || to ride |- | hulan || V || to attempt |- | zalyenik || N || pitiable person |} <pre> ABBREVIATIONS: ADJ adjective ADV adverb CJ conjunction N noun PP preposition PRON pronoun V verb case nominal case affixes number nominal number affix aspect verbal aspect affixes </pre> == Grammar Notes== Common gender nouns include people, animals, fire, moving water, and astronomical and meteorological phenomena.

Generally, Esperanto syntax follows [[Standard Average European]] patterns. ==Reception among conlangers== The feelings of conlangers toward Esperanto are divided. Some acknowledge it as elegant, but many feel that they could do better and criticize it for its [[Standard Average European]] structure. [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:Auxlangs]] Standard Average European 8362 56368 2010-10-02T19:07:24Z WeepingElf 43 /* Standard Average European conlangs */ '''Standard Average European''' ('''SAE''') is a term coined by Benjamin Lee Whorf and frequently used by conlangers for the kind of linguistic structure exhibited by most major European languages. Many conlangers feel that building an SAE conlang was a bad thing, but there are cases where such a structure is more than justified, for instance in a [[lostlang]] set in western Europe. ==Standard Average European as a ''Sprachbund''== According to [[Martin Haspelmath]] (2001), the SAE languages form a ''Sprachbund'' characterized by the following features: # definite and indefinite [[Article (grammar)|article]]s (e.g. English ''the'' vs. ''a''); # postnominal [[relative clause]]s with inflected, resumptive [[relative pronoun]]s (e.g. English ''who'' vs. ''whose''); # a periphrastic perfect formed with 'have' plus a passive participle (e.g. English ''I have said''); # a preponderance of generalizing [[predicate]]s to encode [[experiencer]]s, i.e. experiencers appear as surface subjects in [[nominative case]], e.g. English ''I like music''); # a passive construction formed with a passive participle plus an intransitive copula-like verb (e.g. English ''I am known''); # a prominence of [[anticausative verb]]s in inchoative-causative pairs (e.g. in the pair ''The snow melts'' vs. ''The flame melts the ice'', the [[intransitive verb]] is derived from the transitive); # [[Dative case|dative]] external possessors (e.g. German ''Die Mutter wusch '''dem Kind''' die Haare'' = ''The mother washed the child's hair'', Portuguese ''Ela lavou-'''lhe''' o cabelo'' = ''She washed his hair''); # verbal negation with a negative indefinite (e.g. English '''''Nobody''' listened''); # particle comparatives in comparisons of inequality (e.g. English ''bigger '''than''' an elephant'') ; # equative constructions based on adverbial-relative clause structures (e.g. French ''grand '''comme''' un élephant''); # subject person affixes as strict [[Agreement (linguistics)|agreement]] markers, i.e. the verb is inflected for person and number of the subject, but subject pronouns may not be dropped even when this would be unambiguous (only in some languages, such as German and French); # differentiation between intensifiers and [[reflexive pronoun]]s (e.g. German intensifier ''selbst'' vs. reflexive ''sich''). Besides these features, which are uncommon outside Europe and thus useful for defining the SAE area, Haspelmath (2001) lists further features characteristic of European languages (but also found elsewhere): # verb-initial order in yes/no questions; # comparative inflection of adjectives (e.g. English ''bigger''); # conjunction ''A, B and C''; # syncretism of [[comitative case|comitative]] and [[instrumental case|instrumental]] cases (e.g. English '''''with''' my friends'' vs. '''''with''' a knife''); # [[suppletivism]] in ''second'' vs. ''two''; # no distinction between alienable (e.g. legal property) and [[inalienable possession|inalienable]] (e.g. body part) possession; # no distinction between inclusive ("we and you") and exclusive ("we and not you") first-person plural pronouns; # no productive usage of [[reduplication]]; # [[topic (linguistics)|topic]] and [[focus (linguistics)|focus]] expressed by intonation and word order; # word order [[Subject Verb Object]]; # only one [[gerund]], preference for finite subordinate clauses; # specific "neither-nor" construction; # phrasal adverbs (e.g. English ''already'', ''still'', ''not yet''); # tendency towards replacement of [[past tense]] by the [[perfect (grammar)|perfect]]. There is also a broad agreement in the following parameters (not listed in Haspelmath 2001): * absence of phonemic opposition [[velar consonant|velar]]/[[uvular consonant|uvular]]; * phonemic voicing oppositions (/p/ vs. /b/ etc.); * initial consonant clusters of the type "stop+sonorant" allowed; * only [[pulmonic consonant]]s; * at least three degrees of vowel height (minimum inventory ''i e a o u''); * lack of [[lateral consonant|lateral]] fricatives and affricates; * predominantly suffixing morphology; * moderately synthetic [[fusional language|fusional]] morphological typology; * nominative-accusative [[morphosyntactic alignment]]. The ''Sprachbund'' defined this way consists of the following languages: * [[Germanic languages]]; * [[Romance languages]]; * [[Baltic languages]]; * [[Slavic languages]]; * [[Albanian language|Albanian]]; * [[Modern Greek language|Greek]]; * [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]]. The [[Balkan sprachbund]] is thus included. Not all the languages listed above show all the listed features; the western European languages show more SAE features than the eastern and northern ones, with [[German language|German]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[French language|French]], [[Occitan language|Occitan]] and the Northern [[Italian language|Italian]] languages at the core of the ''Sprachbund''. All SAE languages except Hungarian are [[Indo-European languages]], but not all Indo-European languages are SAE languages: the [[Insular Celtic languages|Celtic]], [[Armenian languages|Armenian]] and [[Indo-Iranian languages]] remain outside the SAE ''Sprachbund'' (as do the non-Indo-European languages of Europe other than Hungarian). The Standard Average European ''Sprachbund'' is most likely the result of ongoing [[language contact]] beginning in the time of the [[Migration Period]] and continuing during the [[Middle Ages]] and the [[Renaissance]] until today. Inheritance of the SAE features from [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] can be ruled out because Proto-Indo-European, as currently reconstructed, lacked most of the SAE features. ==Standard Average European conlangs== ===Auxlangs=== * [[Esperanto]] * [[Ido]] * [[Interlingua (IALA)]] * [[Novial]] * [[Occidental (Interlingue)]] ===Artlangs=== * [[Roman Germanech]] [[Category:Linguistics]] Lostlang 8363 55864 2010-09-08T19:53:13Z WeepingElf 43 A '''lostlang''' is a [[fictional language]] set "in the real world" (in the sense most mainstream literature is set in the real world) rather than a specific [[conworld]].

Ido shares with Esperanto the goals of grammatical simplicity and consistency, ease of learning, and the use of [[loanword]]s from various European languages. The two languages, to a great extent, are mutually intelligible. However, certain changes were introduced to address some of the concerns that had arisen about Esperanto. These include: * [[Esperanto's alphabet]] uses six non-Latin letters, three of which are not found in any other existing language; as a result, Esperanto in typing and in Internet e-mail and newsgroups frequently resorts to any of several schemes to represent these special letters. This leads to the situation where the same word may be displayed any of several different ways. Ido addresses this issue by using the 26-letter [[Latin alphabet]] with two [[digraph (orthography)|digraphs]], ''ch'' ({{IPA|/t͡ʃ/}}) and ''sh'' ({{IPA|/ʃ/}}) instead of Esperanto's ''ĉ'' and ''ŝ''. The digraph ''qu'', representing {{IPA|/kw/}}, as in English "quick", is used instead of Esperanto ''kv'', and likewise ''gu'' is used instead of ''gv''. Ido [[orthography]] is [[phonemic orthography|phonemic]] in the sense that each written word has an unambiguous pronunciation, but it does not have the one-to-one correspondence between letters and [[phoneme]]s that Esperanto has. * Ido generally does not impose rules of grammatical [[agreement (linguistics)|agreement]] between grammatical categories within a sentence, believing them to be grammatically complex and redundant in a potential universal second language. For example, in Esperanto, the verb in a sentence is invariable regardless of the number and person of the subject. This principle was not extended in Esperanto to adjectives and nouns; however, as a result, in Esperanto an adjective must agree in number and case with the noun it modifies as with the French ''grands livres'' (large books), where the adjective must be pluralized as well as the noun. There is no such requirement in English; for example, where number is emphasized by variation of the verb, and Ido eliminates this feature from its grammar. * Esperanto requires the use of the ''-n'' ending to signify the use of the [[accusative case]]. Ido allows the use of this feature in ambiguous situations where the object of a sentence does not follow the subject, but in all other situations, the accusative case was eliminated as redundant. * Ido imposes consistent rules on the use of endings to transform a word from one meaning or part of speech to another, thus simplifying the amount of vocabulary memorization that is necessary. * Ido, unlike Esperanto, does not assume the male sex as the default for family relationship words. For example, Ido does not derive the word for "sister" by adding a feminine suffix to the word for "brother", as standard Esperanto does. Instead, some relationship root words are defined as sex neutral, and two different suffixes derive masculine- and feminine-specific words from the root—frato (sibling) > fratulo (brother), fratino (sister). In other cases, Ido has two or three root words where Esperanto has one—genitoro (parent), patro (father), matro (mother). * Ido's vocabulary attempts to use [[cognate]]s that are shared in common by as many of its six source languages as possible. Nevertheless, modern Esperanto has received some influence from Ido in areas such as a clarification of the rules for word derivation and suffixes like ''-oz-'' ("abundant in") and ''-end-'' ("required to"). ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" |- ! !colspan="2"| [[Bilabial consonant|Bilabial]] !colspan="2"| [[Labiodental consonant|Labio-<br />dental]] !colspan="2"| [[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] !colspan="2"| [[Postalveolar consonant|Post-<br />alveolar]] !colspan="2"| [[Palatal consonant|Palatal]] !colspan="2"| [[Velar consonant|Velar]] !colspan="2"| [[Glottal consonant|Glottal]] |- !

If an '''i''' or '''u''' precedes another vowel, the pair is considered part of the same syllable when applying the accent rule—thus '''ra'''dio, fa'''mi'''lio and '''ma'''nuo for "radio", "family" and "hand".

[[Category:Types of conlangs]] Draga 8368 58997 2011-01-22T03:13:23Z Ajinkwai 1412 This wiki provides an overview of the draqa (or, '' "draga", pron. '/t◌̪ɚ. æ. ɦæ/' '') language, and some of its lexical items. Draga is my own personal conlang, and is in daily use by a speakership of one. It is intended to useable by human beings, but I wanted to break a few universals in the process. The phonology comes from analysis of my personal random "babbling". I also wanted to pursue ways of thinking mostly alien to my native language (English) and culture (American), and create a better vehicle for expressing "mystic" experience in everyday speech. These "lofty" goals, however, are relatively recent, i.e. the past 15 years or so. Originally, it was just something fun to do. == Introduction == draqa (draga) is a personal constructed language, "spoken" by an exile population who call their homeland Qhyra. Technically, "[[draqa]]" (with a 'q') refers to an ancient form of the language, and "draga" (with a 'g') to the modern language; however, the spelling "draqa" is often used for either. The history of the draga people is quite mysterious. Apparently, the civilization of Qhrya arose in the North American continent, contemporary with (but not related to) the Atlantean civilization of the second ''destruction'' (~13,500 B.C.) Within 1.000 years of that cataclysm, Qhrya was completely sacked, leaving fewer than 2,000 souls to wander for almost 200 years. Finding no respite, apparently the nation astrally projected themselves en masse into a parallel reality, where they have continued to thrive. The prophecies say that eventually the nation will reincarnate into this world in the 20th, 21st and 22nd centuries, at first scattered across the continents but eventually re-unified into a small nation again. The draga are a dream-travelling people, whose primary mode of long-distance (as well as inter-dimensional and temporal) travel is astral-projection. Hence, culturally and linguistically, they are easily adapted to "primitive", "high-tech" and even "psychic" environments. == Phonetic Inventory == === Consonants === {| ! align="center"| || labial || dental || alveolar || palatal || velar || post-velar || glottal |- ! align=left |plosives: || pʼ (p) || t_ || tʼtz ʈ || cʼ(c) || kʷ kʲ || q || ʔ |- ! align=left |aspirates: || pʰ || || tʰ || cʰ || || qʰ || || |- ! align=left |fricative: || f (ʰɸ) || (ð) || s || ʃ (ç)|| (x) || || ʜ ɦ |- ! align=left |liquids: || w || || l || j || || || |- ! align=left |trills: || ʙ̥ || || r̥ || || || || ʀ̥ || |- ! align=left |nasals: || m || (n_) || (n) || ɲ|| || || |- ! align=left |implosives: || ɓ (ʘ) || || ǃ|| || || |- |} === Vowels === {| | | i || || || || || || || || || ʊ || |- | | || || || || || || || || ʷɔˑ |- | | || || || || || || ə(ʌ) || || || || || || ɚ |- | | || || æ || || || || |} == Orthography / Phonological Considerations == Transliteration of the draga language uses 25 characters of the Roman alphabet: '' a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, ñ, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, w, x, y, z'' - and both the single-quote ('' ' '') and double-quote ('' " '') symbols to represent the sounds. In addition, the acute accent is used to represent pitch-accenting: ''á í ú''. Traditionally, draga is written in a native alphabetic script that is supplemented by many logographs which are used to represent the most frequently used particles and lexemes. For some unfathomable reason, there is also a rare transliteration scheme which utilizes the Coptic alphabet. === Consonants === {| | '''p''' || [pʼ] or [p] |- | '''t''' || [tʰ] |- | '''t' ''' || [tʼ] |- | '''ty''' || [ʈ] |- | '''c''' || [cʼ] or [c] |- | '''q''' || [q] |- | '''kw''' || [kʷ] |- | '''ky''' || [kʲ] |- | '''ph''' || [pʰ] |- | '''ch''' || [cʰ] |- | '''qh''' || [qʰ] |- | '''f''' || [f], [ʰɸ] before 'w': '' '''fw''' [ʰɸw]'' |- | '''s''' || [s] |- | '''m''' || [m] |- | '''ñ''' || [ɲ], [n_] before 'd': '' '''ñd''' [n_ð]'' |- | '''w''' || [w], [ʘ] following initial syllabic 'm': '' '''mw''' [mʘ]'' |- | '''l''' || [l] |- | '''y''' || [j] |- | '''d''' || [t_] initially; [d_] or [ð] medially; [ð] after 'ñ': '' '''ñd''' [n_ð]'' |- | '''j''' || [tʼz] or [tz] |- | '''x''' || [ʃ] |- | '''h''' || [ʜ], [x] before 'l' or 'w', [ç] before 'y' |- | '''g''' || [ɦ] ''(voiced /h/)'' |- | '''b''' || [ɓ] |- | '''z''' || [ǃ] |- | '''p"''' || [ʙ̥] ''(voiceless bilabial trill)'' |- | '''t"''' || [r̥] ''(voiceless alveolar trill)'' |- | '''q"''' || [ʀ̥] ''(voiceless post-velar trill)'' |- | ''' ' ''' || [ʔ] |- |} === Vowels === There are 6 basic vowels in the draga language: '''i''' /i/, '''a''' /æ/, '''e''' /əˑ/, '''ou''' /ʷɔˑ/, '''o''' /ʊ/, '''r''' /ɚˑ/. Draga is a pitch-accented language, the vowels '''i, a,''' and '''o''' being found either median- or high-pitched. The acute accent is used to represent a ''high (and/or falling)'' tone: '''í, á, ú''' ''(rather than ó)''. The tone of the vowel ''' 'ou' ''' is always ''low''. The vowels ''' 'e' ''' and ''' 'r' ''' are always stressed, but are not pitch-accented. The vowels ''' 'ou', 'e', ''' and ''' 'r' ''' are typically semi-long in duration. The symbol ''' 'r' ''' following another vowel indicates ''Rhoticization''. {| | '''i''' || [i] |- | '''í''' || [i↘] |- | '''ií''' || [i↗] |- | '''a''' || [æ] |- | '''á''' || [æ↘] |- | '''aá''' || [æ↗] |- | '''o''' || [ʊ] |- | '''ú''' || [ʊ↘] |- | '''uú''' || [ʊ↗] |- | '''e''' || [ʌ], ''( [ə] in "lazy" speech)'' |- | '''ou''' || [ʷɔˑ] |- | '''r''' || [ɚ] |- |} '''Rhoticization:''' The vowels 'a,i,o' can also be found rhoticized: ''ar, ár, aár, ir, ír, iír, or'' {| | '''ar''' || [æʳ] |- | '''ár''' || [æʳ↘] |- | '''aár''' || [æʳ↗] |- | '''ir''' || [iʳ] |- | '''ír''' || [iʳ↘] |- | '''iír''' || [iʳ↗] |- | '''or''' || [ʊʳ] |- |} '''Combinations:''' '''ea''', '''eu''', '''ae''' are spelled irregularly, to contrast with ''ía, iá, ío, iú, ái'' and ''aí''. {| | '''ea''' || [iæ] |- | '''eu''' || [iʊː] |- | '''ae''' || [æeˑ] |- | '''aer''' || [æeʳː] |- |} Other dipthongs include: {| | '''ie''' [iə] || || '''íe''' [i↘ə] |- | '''ei''' [ʌiˑ] ''or'' [əiˑ] || || '''ui''' [ʊi] |- | '''úi''' [ʊ↘i] || || '''uí''' [ʊ↗i] |- | '''ái''' [æ↘i] || || '''aí''' [æ↗i] |- | '''ía''' [i↘æ] || || '''iá''' [i↗æ] |- |'''ío''' [i↘ɔˑ] || || '''iú''' [i↗ʊ] |- |} === Syllable and Word Structure === draga Syllables are formed as follows: ''C1 = Any Consonsant, or †Cluster ; V = Any Vowel or Compound ; C2 = Any Final Consonant:'' (''' f, m, w, p", s, c, x, ñ, q''') '''(C1) - (V) - (C2 |/ʔ/)''' * V (/ʔ/). * C2. * C1 - V (/ʔ/). * C1 - C2. * C1 - V - C2. †Allowable Consonant Clusters''': pw, py, phw, phy, phl, tw, tl, jw, zw, z', qhw, qhl, xw, xl (sl), fw/hw, hl, hy, gw, gy, ml, lw, ly, bw, by ''' draga Words (Roots) are typically 2-4 syllables in length, and generally begin with any sound but '''g''' /ɦ/. The phone '''e''' /ə/ is thus far unattested as a final vowel, and the phone ''' ' ''' /ʔ/ never ends a ''word''. Many Roots may also have more than one related form, which are pretty much interchangeable and are selected for by context, ''e.g.'' '''ftyeañ''' /f. ʈiæɲ/, might alternatively be pronounced '' 'ftyañ' /f. ʈæˑɲˑ/'', or '' 'ftyaña' /f. ʈæ. ɲæ/''. Orthographically, this phenomenon is very much up in the air: There is much debate around whether certain "standard" forms of words should be written at all times, or whether actual or intended pronunciation should be indicated. Thus far, it seems the ''"standardizers"'' have the upper hand in the debate - however, this comes at the expense of learning-accuracy. ''' ''Additional Notes'': ''' ''1.'' Syllabicized (C2) consonants are fully realized, and do not tend to become consonant clusters: '''sqa''' is pronounced ''[s. qæ]'', '''ewjo''' is pronounced ''[əˑw. tzʊ]''. ''(The primary exception is '''mw''' in "lazy" speech: [mʘ])'' Like the vowels '''i/í''', '''a/á''', and '''o/ú''', they generally receive an even stress. ''2.'' Unaccented (median-pitched) vowels which follow a ''rising'' or ''falling'' contour, are pronounced at the final pitch of the contour. ''3.'' The Rhoticized vowels tend to be pronounced at a slightly lower pitch than other unaccented vowels. ''4.'' The vowel '''ou''' is always low-pitched, and ''resets'' the median pitch to the speaker's ''baseline'' even when following a pitch contour. == Root Morphology == draga Roots fall into a single category, ''i.e.'' there is no noun-verb distinction. Neither are there adjectives nor adverbs. All morphological functions are theoretically available for modification of ''any'' Root. Aspectual concepts actually appear as individual Roots in draga (but are also often expressed using ''locative constructions''). The primary modifications of draga Roots are ''locative (position / direction)'' and ''genitive (relationship)'', but of course there are many others: === Pronominal === {| | '''-xeañ / -(y)ac''' || 1st Person Exclusive |- | '''-weax / -weiaqs''' || 1st Person Inclusive |- | '''-mei / -(y)añ''' || *Referent (2nd or 3rd Person) |- | '''-lor''' || 3rd Person Animate/ Abstract |- | '''-kwui''' || 3rd Person Inanimate |- | '''-feas''' || 4th Person (Obviate) Animate/ Abstract |- | '''-kwuifes''' || 4th Person (Obviate) Inanimate |- |} * The '''Referent''' is the "person" under discussion, or the "main character", per se. There is no specific Pronominal form for 2p direct address - draga goes to great lengths to avoid this. The ''Referent'' is a 3rd person form ''(animate, abstract or inanimate)'', whose reference can be "switched" to indicate a 2nd person, ''i.e. "S/he (which is you)." '' The referent switches include: ''mú, -magyi'' and ''añmagyi'' Examples: ''('''sbaí''' "table", '''skyaá''' "running", '''phuia''' "joy", '''siha''' "green")'' * '''sbaí-yac ''' "My table" * '''skyaá-weiaqs''' "Our running", "We run/ran" * '''phuia-lor''' "His/her joy", "S/he is happy" * '''siha-mei''' "It's green-ness", "It is green", "Her/your green (-ness) (-ing) (thing)", etc. === Locative === {| | '''Unbound''' || '''Semi-bound''' || '''Fully Bound''' || || |- | '''ie''' || || '''-qor''' || ''at, in, on, to, toward, from'' |- | || '''yr-''' || '''-yir''' || ''toward'' |- | || '''fwor-''', '''yr-''' || '''-tyiar''' || ''at, in, on'' |- | || '''hyañ-''' || '''-pyir''' || ''successfully to'' |- | || '''síar-''' || '''-swor''' || ''unsuccessfully toward'' |- | || '''jwor-''' || '''-tyui''', '''-chou''' || ''(originating) from'' |- | || || '''-fir''' || ''in the general direction of'' |- | || || '''-teyou''' || ''in a general direction away from'' |- |} Examples: ''('''lyaña''' "home", '''kyeafa''' "understanding", '''phuia''' "joy")'' * '''lyaña-yir (lyañ-yir)''' "Toward home", "Going home" * '''kyeafa-swor''' "Try unsuccessfully to understand" * '''phuia-tyui''' "Originating from (a place of ) joy," ''e.g. within one'sself, etc.'' ''Notes:'' # Most commonly, it is the Bound form that is used. # The Semi-bound particles ('''fwor, síar, jwor''') usually add emphasis when used to modify a Root. Pronoun-like Roots, however, tend to prefer the semi-bound particles. - and the interrogative pronominal ''' 'wañ' ''' ("where?") never takes a bound locative. The semi-bound Locatives are also used to modify whole clauses. # Ordinal numbers (7.1) are typically formed with the semi-bound '''yr''', ''e.g.'' 'yr-yifa' = "at-1" (i.e. "first"). # The unbound Locative 'ie' is a very casual particle that basically conveys the general idea of location or direction. It can also be used in combination with the other locatives for emphasis, specification or re-inforcement: ''e.g.''' ie lyaña-yir = lyaña-yir || ie lyaña-teyou = lyaña-teyou || ie lyaña-tyiar = lyaña-tyiar = ie yr-lyaña . # '''ie''' can also mean "from", in context. For example: mú jwor-wañ: ("Where are you coming from?") → (ía) ie lyaña ("From home"). === Compound Locatives === This set of locatives express relative position rather direction. They are combined forms of 2 parts: Heads: '''fwía-''' '' "Above"'', '''jeuq-''' ''"Below"'', '''daea-''' ''"Level with"'', '''qhow-''' ''"In front of"'', '''qhaw-''' ''"Behind"'', '''duia-''' ''"Next to"'' Codas: '''-da-''' ''"Located"'', '''-ha-''' ''"Touching, Connected or Attached"'', '''-sui-''' ''"Not touching or attached, disconnected, separate from"'' The combined forms appear as ''prefixes'': {| | '''fwíada-''' || '''jeuqda-''' || '''daeada-''' || '''qhowda-''' || '''qhawda-''' || '''duiada-''' |- | '''fwíaha-''' || '''jeuqha-''' || '''daeaha-''' || '''qhowha-''' || '''qhawha-''' || '''duiaha-''' |- | '''fwíasui-''' || '''jeuqsui-''' || '''daeasui-''' || '''qhowsui-''' || '''qhawsui-''' || '''duiasui-''' |- |} Examples: ''('''sbaí''' "table")'' * '''fwíada-sbaí''' - "(Somewhere) above the top the table" * '''fwíaha-sbaí''' - "On top of the table" * '''fwíasui-sbaí''' - "Above the table (not touching it)" === Genitive === {| | '''cr-''' || '' Of (generic) '' |- | '''hañ-''' || ''Associated with, Correlated with, Identified with'' |- | '''em-''' || ''Portion, part of'' |- | '''ho-, húa-''' || ''Attributed with, Filled with'' |- | '''mes-''' || ''Composed of'' |- | '''war-''' || ''Functioning as, In the role of'' |- |} * Note: draga constructions are head-inital, ''i.e.'' '''X cr-Y''' would mean ''"X of Y"''.

Its use places emphasis on the fact that there are more than one, and usually indicates that in fact ''several, many'' or ''a group'' are under discussion. It usually does not refer to just two or three. * The strong article indicates not only a specific instantiation, but also may point to the specific concept. So, given '''seahañ''' '' 'deer' '' - the word '''pha-seahañ''' can mean "That (those) deer" specifically under discussion, but it can also mean "A deer", '' e.g. "It is a deer" or "There's a deer" '' * The weak definite article creates a word referencing an iconic or essential form of the concept at hand. Examples of this kind of thing in English would be: ''"The MAN", "Big Government", "Justice", "The Law", "God", "They", etc.'' Fittingly, of course, none of those particular examples are concepts that actually exist in the draga language. * The indefinite article generally translates to ''"Any", "Some" or "Whatever"''.

The SAPs fall into three types: Evidentials, Mood Indicators, and Speech Act Indicators. More than one SAP can also be used sometimes at the beginning of a sentence. A complete sentence often may consist of nothing but the Speech Act Particle: ==== Evidentials ==== {| | '''huia''' || 1st Person Objective, ''i.e. "I experienced it (external perception)"'' |- | '''fwuia''' || 1st Person Visual. ''i.e. "I witnessed it"'' |- | '''awo''' || 1st Person Auditory, ''i.e. "It sounds to me like"'' |- | '''ía''' || 1st Person Subjective, ''i.e. "I experienced it (internal perception)"'' |- | '''skyea-tae''' || 1st Person Psionic ''i.e. "I know it from a dream, vision, intuition, etc."'' |- | '''ámiña''' || ,i.e. ''"I heard from someone who said s/he experienced it"'' |- | '''ámiñ-tae''' || ,i.e. ''"I heard from someone who said s/he witnessed it"'' |- | '''(a') phx-a''' || ,i.e. ''"I heard from someone unreliable who said s/he experienced it"'' |- || '''phx.a-tae''' || ,i.e. ''"I heard from someone unreliable who said s/he witnessed it"'' |- |} ==== Mood Indicators ==== {| | '''mpaha''' || Opiniative (Probable) Mood |- | '''sempa''' || Opiniative (Negative Probability) Mood |- | '''xweña''' || Expectant Mood |- | '''qhwui-a''' || 1st Person Imperative Mood |- | '''fo''' || Irrealis Mood |- | '''(a)skyea''' || Dreaming (Psionic) Mood |- |} ==== Speech Act Indicators ==== {| | '''eia''' || Narrative Speech Act |- | '''a''' || Subjective (Non-Realis) Speech Act |- | '''xe'a''' || Interrogative Speech Act |- | '''mú''' || 2nd Person Interrogative Speech Act |- | '''sei, es''' || Negative Statement or Negative Imperative Speech Act |- |} ==== Qualifiers ==== {| | '''ido-''' || ''Indicates the Evidential source'' |- | '''añ-''' || ''Topicalizing'' Particle |- | '''-magyi''' || ''Indicates a 2nd Person Referent'' |- |} === Syntax === draga makes no noun-verb distinction, so its syntactical pattern cannot be accurately described in terms of VSO, VOS, etc. ''It might be best described as '''head-initial, with a free word order'''.'' *The syntactical pattern can also be described (''perhaps more confusingly'') as a linkage of '''Predicate - (Relationship Particle) - Argument''' constructions, which are themselves linked by meta-Relationship Particles. A ''Predicate'' will necessarily be present in any construction. The ''Argument'' modifies the idea established by a Predicate, and is optional but usual. A Predicate may also be distributed over multiple Arguments. The ''Relator'' (relationship particle) explicates the relationship between the Predicate and its Argument, and is also optional in many cases. Often, the relationship may be implied from context. The relationship particles themselves fall into two categories: ''Genitives'' and ''Conjunctions''. * Typical roles of "Agent", "Patient", "Subject", "Object", et cetera, are not grammatically marked in draga. These roles are not necessarily important in the "whole-picture"-view of the culturally draga perspective, especially since they are often apparent from context. The concepts however, can be very clearly expressed by use of locative constructions, or (even more frequently) conjunctive particles. Single-word clauses are not at all unusual in draga, since any given Root is implicitly both active ''and'' substantive.

Technically, draqa refers to an ancient form of the language, and draga to the modern language; however, the spelling "draqa" is often used for either. The history of draga people is quite mysterious. Apparently, the civilization of Qhrya arose in the North American continent, contemporary with (but not related to) the Atlantean civilization of the second destruction (~13,500 B.C.) Within 1000 years of that cataclysm, Qhrya was completely sacked, leaving fewer than 2000 to wander for close to 200 years. Finding no respite, apparently the nation astrally projected themselves en mass into a parallel reality, where they have continued to thrive. The prophecies say that eventually the nation will reincarnate into this world in the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd centuries, at first scattered across the continents but eventually re-unified into a small nation again. [[Draga]] Language Wiki [http://slxlr.true.ws/lang draqa Homepage] Talk:Alpic 8370 56163 2010-09-20T18:59:31Z WeepingElf 43 Taylor, I have some trouble with this sentence: "The Danubian languages are part of the of the Europic Macrofamily, which consists of Indo-European, Hesperic, and Rhaeto-Etruscan." The [[Europic]] hypothesis, as I have developed it, does ''not'' include Etruscan. There is simply not sufficient evidence for such a relationship, and to say that "Rhaeto-Etruscan" was a part of the "Europic macrofamily" is no less wrong than saying that it was a branch of Indo-European. You may be of the opinion that Etruscan was related to Indo-European (I am not), but using the same name for that hypothetical relationship that has been assigned to another, unrelated hypothesis, is not cricket. I have no trouble with your Danubian being related to Etruscan; it may belong to a stratum ''earlier'' than Hesperic, but that would mean that it is ''not'' Europic. --[[User:WeepingElf|WeepingElf]] 16:02, 14 September 2010 (UTC) Sorry!

One of these languages, the language of the [[Vinča culture]], may have been the first human language ever written, if the engravings on various artifacts of that culture are indeed writing. [[User:TaylorS|Taylor Selseth]] has developed a Danubian conlang, [[Alpic]], in the framework of the [[League of Lost Languages]]. Vinča culture 8375 56162 2010-09-20T18:57:17Z WeepingElf 43 /* External links */ The '''Vinča culture''' is a Neolithic culture in the lower Danube area, whose most fascinating aspect is perhaps that some artifacts of this culture, though being about 7,000 years old (and thus about 2,000 years older than the oldest Sumerian clay tablets) bear engravings which some scholars consider writing. If they are indeed writing, they would be the oldest writing system known. [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] and [[User:TaylorS|Taylor Selseth]] speculate that the language of this culture could be a member of a branch called [[Danubian]] of the [[Europic]] language family. ==External links== * [[Wikipedia:Vinča culture]] * [[Wikipedia:Vinča symbols]] Volapük 8376 56155 2010-09-20T13:52:30Z WeepingElf 43 Created page with ''''Volapük''' (V.

'world language') is an [[international auxiliary language]] published in 1879 by Johannes Martin Schleyer. It was the first auxlang to reach a major audience, but was soon eclipsed by [[Esperanto]]. By the year 1900, Volapük was essentially a dead language. The reasons for this quick demise are probably a too complex grammatical structure, and especially the proprietary attitude of its creator. Schleyer had turned down several reform proposals and asserted that he was the only person allowed to invent new words or change rules of grammar. Thereby, the language could no longer function as a world language.

During one of his hunting campaigns, he reached the Tawi River where he saw a goat and a lion drinking water at the same place. Having satisfied their thirst, the animals went their own ways. The Raja was amazed, abandoned the idea of hunting and returned to his companions. Recounting what he had seen, he exclaimed that this place, where a lion and a lamb could drink water side by side, was a place of peace and tranquility. The Raja had a palace built at this place and a city was founded around it. This city became known as Jambu-Nagar, which then later changed into Jammu. *The city is mentioned in the [[Wikipedia:Mahabharata|Mahabharata]]. Excavations near [[Wikipedia:Akhnoor|Akhnoor]], 20 miles (32 km) from Jammu City, provide evidence that Jammu was once part of the [[Wikipedia:Indus Valley Civilization|Harappan]] civilization. *In 321 B.C. [[Wikipedia:Chandragupta Maurya|Chandragupta Maurya]] (340-298) conquered the [[Wikipedia:Nanda Dynasty|Nanda Empire]] in a series of battles, ending with the siege of the capital city Kusumapura. He, thus founded the powerful [[Wikipedia:Maurya Empire|Maurya Empire]] in northern India by the time he was about 20 years old. *The [[Wikipedia:Kushan|Kushan]] Empire originally formed in the first century A.D. in ancient Bactria on either side of the middle course of the [[Wikipedia:Amu Darya|Amu Darya]] River in what is now northern Afghanistan and southern Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. First mentioned by the Chinese, the Kushans were originally a tribe of the [[Wikipedia:Yuezhi|Yuezhi]], living north of the Great Wall and subject to the [[Wikipedia:Rouran Khaganate|Rouran]] (Jwen-Jwen). During the first and early second centuries the Kushans expanded rapidly across the northern part of the Indian subcontinent at least as far as [[Wikipedia:Saketa|Saketa]] and [[Wikipedia:Sarnath|Sarnath]] near Benares. Inscriptions have been found dated to the first few years of era of the most famous Kushan ruler, [[Wikipedia:Kanishka|Kanishka]] which apparently began about 127. They threatened the Gupta empire but were eventually driven out of India in 528 by a Hindu coalition. *In the early fourth century, [[Wikipedia:Chandragupta II|Chandragupta II the Great]] Vikramaditya (375-415) conquered about twenty-one kingdoms, both inside of and outside of India. After finishing his campaign in the east and west of India, he proceeded northwards, subjugating the Parasikas (Persians), [[Wikipedia:Huna people|Hunas]] and Kambojas located in the [[Wikipedia:Amu Darya|Amu Darya]] Valley. After that, he proceeded to cross the Himalayas and brought the [[Wikipedia:Kinnara#India|Kinnaras]], [[Wikipedia:Kirata|Kiratas]], and others in the north into India proper. He controlled a vast empire, which extended from the mouth of the Ganges in the west to the mouth of the Indus River in the east, and from what is now northern Pakistan down to the mouth of the [[Wikipedia:Narmada River|Narmada River]]. *After 480, the area was dominated by the [[Wikipedia:Hephthalite|Hephthalites]] and ruled from [[Wikipedia:Kapisa|Kapisa]] and [[Wikipedia:Kabul|Kabul]]. Jammu is also mentioned in accounts of the campaigns of [[Wikipedia:Timur|Timur]]. *1703-1725 - Dhruv Dev drove out the Mughals and re-established the independence of Jammu. *1725-1782 - Ranjit Dev allied with Afghanistan and increased his territory. **1779 - Attempted to conquer Kashmir, but failed. *1782-1787 - Brijraj Dev is invaded by Ranjit Singh, a vassal of Punjab. *1787-1797 - Sampuran Singh. *1797-1816 - Jit Singh, son of Mian Dalal Singh, son of Brijraj Dev, succeeded on death of cousin. Conquered by Ranjit Singh of Kashmir and annexed. **1804 - Signs Treaty of Yamuna with Maharaja Prithvi Van Singh of Nepal. *1816-1820 - Interregnum. *1820-1822 - Kishore Singh installed instead of his cousin. *1822-1856 - Gulab Singh, in the Treaty of Amritsar, March 16, 1846, transferred Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit and Hazara. He abdicated on February 20, 1856, for his son. He died on June 30, 1857. **1836 - Annexes the Rajadom of [[Wikipedia:Basholi|Basholi]]. *1856-1885 - Ranbir Singh. *1885-1925 - Pratap Singh. *1925-1961 - Hari Singh succeeded on death of father. *1961 - Karun Singh *Vikrmadhitya Singh *Mriganka Singh b. 1991 The land witnessed changes of control following invasions by the Sikhs, before finally being conquered and placed under the control of Maharaja [[Wikipedia:Ranjit Singh|Ranjit Singh]] (1780-1839) in the nineteenth century, becoming part of the Sikh Empire in 1816. Raja Jit Singh was expelled and found refuge in India. Ranjit Singh appointed a governor to administer the newly conquered area which was expanded in 1819 with the annexation of Kashmir by a Sikh force. In 1820, in appreciation of services rendered by the family, and by [[Wikipedia:Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir|Gulab Singh]] (1792-1857) in particular, Ranjit Singh bestowed Jammu as a hereditary fief upon Kishore Singh. Kishore Singh died in 1822 and Gulab Singh was confirmed as Raja of Jammu by his suzerain, Ranjit Singh. After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Raja Gulab Singh asserted his independence and is thus the founder of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Gulab Singh was succeeded by his son [[Wikipedia:Ranbir Singh|Ranbir Singh]] (1830-1885) who reigned from 1857 until his death. Ranbir Singh was succeeded by his son [[Wikipedia:Partab Singh of Kashmir|Pratap Singh]] (1848-1925), who reigned from 1885 until his death. '''Dissatisfied with this situation, Jammu threatened to rebel and secede from the kingdom. In an effort to quell the rising nationalism, Pratap Singh in 1921, created a dual monarchy. Each nation was set up as sovereign, but joined in a personal union with the [[Wikipedia:Dogra Dynasty|Dogra Dynasty]].''' Pratap Singh was succeeded by his nephew [[Wikipedia:Hari Singh|Hari Singh]] (1895-1961) who reigned from 1925 '''until his death'''. '''Hari Singh was succeeded by his son [[Wikipedia:Karan Singh|Karan Singh]] (1931-1984), who reigned from 1961 until his death.''' '''Karan Singh was succeeded by his son Vikramaditya (1964-), who is presently reigning'''. In 1987, he married the Chitrangada Scindia. ====Styles==== *The Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir has the style of His Royal Majesty. *The wife of the maharajah, the maharani, has the style of Her Royal Majesty. *The heir apparent, the maharaj kumar, has the style of His Royal Highness. *The younger sons and daughters of the maharaja have the style of Their Royal Highnesses. ====Rule of Succession==== Male primogeniture among the legitimate descendants of Gulab Singh. ==Toponymy== According to legend, Jammu was founded by Raja Jamboolochan in the 14th century BCE. During one of his hunting campaigns he reached the Tawi River where he saw a goat and a lion drinking water at the same place. The king was impressed and decided to set up a town after his name, Jamboo. With the passage of time, the name was corrupted and became Jammu. ==Government== ====Provinces==== {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background: #ff9933; border-bottom: 10px solid blue;" width=12% | Province<br>(''anchal'') ! style="background: #ff9933; border-bottom: 10px solid blue;" width=7% | Capital ! style="background: #ff9933; border-bottom: 10px solid blue;" width=8% | Area ! style="background: #ff9933; border-bottom: 10px solid blue;" width=8% | Pop. ! style="background: #ff9933; border-bottom: 10px solid blue;" width=12% | Prefectures<br>(''jilla'') ! style="background: #ff9933; border-bottom: 10px solid blue;" width=53% | Notes |- | Jammu (J) | Jammu | 3,097 km² | 1,588,000 | Jammu (JJ)<br>Akhnur (JA)<br>Bishnah (JB)<br>Ranbirsinghpur (JR) | |- | Kathua (K) | Kathua | 2,651 km² | 550,00 | Kathua (KK)<br>Bani (KB)<br>Billawar (KL)<br>Basholi (KS)<br>Hiranagar (KH) | |- | Doda (D) | Doda | 11,691 km² | 691,000 | Doda (DD)<br>Bhaderwah (DB)<br>Ramban (DR)<br>Kishtwar (DK) | |- | Udhampur (U) | Udhampur | 4,450 km² | 38,000 | Udhampur (UU)<br> Ramnagar (UR)<br>Chenani (UC)<br>Majalta (UM) | |- | Rajauri (R) | Rajauri | 2,630 km² | 483,000 | Rajauri (RR)<br>Darhal (RD)<br>Koteranka (RK)<br>Kalakot (RK)<br>Nowshera (RN)<br>Thannamandi (RT) | |- | Poonch (P) | Poonch | 1,674 km² | 23,000 | Mendhar (PM)<br>Haveli (PH)<br>Surankot (PS) |- | Lahaul and Spiti (L) | Keylong | 20,236 km² | 102,000 | Kinnaur (LK)<br>Lahaul and Spiti (LL) | |- | Chamba (C) | Chamba | 14,925 km² | 2,314,000 | Chamba (CC)<br>Hamirpur (CH)<br>Kangra (CK)<br>Una (CU) | |- | Bilaspur (B) | Bilaspur | 10,620 km² | 1,373,000 | Bilaspur (BB)<br>Kullu (BK)<br>Mandi (BM) | |- | Shimla (S) | Shimla | 9,892 km² | 1,378,000 | Shimla(SS)<br>Simaur (SM)<br>Solan (SL) | |} '''Thus, the total area of the rajadom is 81,866 km², slightly smaller than *here's* Kansas.''' ==Geography== *Sandwiched between the Vale of Kashmir to the north and the Daman Koh Plains to the south, the [[Wikipedia:Sivalik Hills|Sivalik Hills comprises most of the region of North Jammu. The [[Wikipedia:Pir Panjal Range|Pir Panjal Range]], the Trikuta Hills and the low-lying [[Wikipedia:Tawi River|Tawi River]] basin add beauty and diversity to the terrain of North Jammu. The Pir Panjal range separates North Jammu from the Kashmir valley. *South Jammu is a mountainous region with elevations ranging from about 350 metres (1,148 ft) to 6,000 metres (19,685 ft) above sea level. The drainage system is composed both of rivers and glaciers. Himalayan rivers criss-cross the entire mountain chain. South Jammu provides water to both the Indus and Ganges basins. The drainage systems of the region are the the [[Wikipedia:Chenab|Chenab]], the [[Wikipedia:Ravi River|Ravi]], the [[Wikipedia:Beas River|Beas]], the [[Wikipedia:Sutlej River|Sutlej]] and the [[Wikipedia:Yamuna|Yamuna]]. The Yamuna River forms the boundary between Jammu and Nepal. These rivers are perennial and are fed by snow and rainfall.

According to the [[Wikipedia:Mahabharata|Mahabharata]], the [[Wikipedia:Kambojas|Kambojas]] ruled Kashmir during the [[Wikipedia:Indian epic poetry|epic]] period with a republican system of government from the capital city of Rajapura. Later, the [[Wikipedia:Panchala|Panchala]]s established their sway and their king Pravarasena II founded the city of [[Wikipedia:Srinagar|Parvasenpur]]. [[Wikipedia:Asoka|Asoka]], the great ruler of the [[Wikipedia:Maurya|Mauryan]] Empire introduced Buddhism to the region. The new religion co-existed peacefully with the dominant Hindu culture. Kashmir became an important seat of Buddhist learning, dominated by the [[Wikipedia:Sarvastivada|Sarvastivadan]] school. Monks from eastern and central Asia visited the kingdom. In the late fourth century A.D., the famous [[Wikipedia:Kucha|Kucha]]nese monk [[Wikipedia:Kumarajiva|Kumarajiva]], born to an Indian noble family, studied in Kashmir under the great scholar Bandhudatta. He later became a prolific translator who helped introduce Buddhism to China. [[Wikipedia:Vimalaksa|Vimalaksa]], a Sarvastivadan Buddhist monk, travelled from Kashmir to Kucha and there instructed Kumarajiva in the ''[[Wikipedia:Buddhist texts#Vinaya|Vinayapitaka]]''. Although Buddhism was widespread in Kashmir long before the time of [[Wikipedia:Asoka|Asoka]], it enjoyed his patronage, as well as that not only of the Buddhist rulers but of Hindu and early Muslim rulers as well. From Kashmir, it spread to the neighboring Ladakh. ===Muslim rule=== '''The Abbasid Caliphate, during their stay in Persia, expanded into Afghanopakistan and northern India, but the new religion had little impact on the mass of the people and remained the religion of the ruling elite only.''' In 1339, in the vacuum left by the fall of the Abassid Caliphate, Shams-ud-Din Shah Mir became the ruler of Kashmir and the founder of the Shah Miri dynasty. He came from [[Wikipedia:Swat (princely state)|Swat]], a tribal territory on the eastern border of Afghanistan. Until his death in 1342, he played a notable role in the political history of the valley. Shah Mir was succeeded by his eldest son Jamshid, but he was deposed by his brother Ali Sher '''five months later'''. Ali Sher ascended the throne assuming the royal name Alauddin. The Muslim rulers lived in relative harmony with their Hindu and Buddhist subjects, due partly to the similarity of the Sufi way of life of the rulers to the [[Wikipedia:Rishi|Rishi]] tradition of the Kashmiri Hindus. This led to a syncretic culture in some areas where Hindus and Muslims revered the same local saints and prayed at the same shrines. Most of the Kashmiri rulers, such as Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin, were tolerant of the religions of their subjects. However, several were intolerant, of whom Sultan [[Wikipedia:Sikandar Butshikan|Sikandar Butshikan]] (1389-1413) and his (former Brahmin) minister Saif ud-Din were the worst. Historians have recorded many of the atrocities carried out in his persecution of the Hindus and Buddhists. He even went so far as to proscribe the residence of anyone other than a Muslim in Kashmir. ===Sikh/Hindu rule=== *In 1780, after the death of Ranjit Deo, the Raja of Jammu, the Rajadom of Jammu (to the south of the Kashmir Valley) was captured by the Sikhs under [[Wikipedia:Ranjit Singh|Ranjit Singh]] of [[Wikipedia:Lahore|Lahore]] and became tributary to the Sikh R.S. until 1846. **In 1809, the Rajadom of [[Wikipedia:Chamba (district)|Chamba]] is became tributary to the Sikhi R.S. *Ranjit Deo's grandnephew, [[Wikipedia:Gulab Singh|Gulab Singh]], subsequently sought service at the court of Ranjit Singh, distinguished himself in later campaigns, especially in the conquest of the Kashmir Valley in 1819, which ended a thousand years of Muslim rule. For his services, he was created the first Mahararaja of Jammu in 1820 beginning the Dogra Dynasty. With the help of his officer, Zorawar Singh, Gulab Singh soon annexed '''Kashmir''', and the Buddhist kingdoms of Ladakh and Baltistan. **In 1819, the Rajadom of [[Wikipedia:Poonch|Poonch]] is annexed. **In 1836, the Rajadom of [[Wikipedia:Basholi|Basholi]] is annexed. **'''To emphasize his break from the Sikh R.S. in 1846, Gulab Singh embraced the Hindu faith.''' **'''In 1846, the Rajadom of Chamba is annexed outright.''' *[[Wikipedia:Ranbir Singh|Ranbir Singh]] succeeded upon his father's death in 1857. **Carrying out his expansionist policies, between 1861 and 1867 he added the emirates of Astore, Hunza-Nagar, and Gilgit to the rajadom. *[[Wikipedia:Partab Singh of Kashmir|Partab Singh]] (1830-1885) succeeded his father in 1885. *[[Wikipedia:Hari Singh|Hari Singh]] (1895-1961), the son of Partab Singh's brother Amar, succeeded to the throne in 1925. *'''[[Wikipedia:Karan Singh|Karan Singh]] (1931-2003) succeeded upon the death his father in 1961.''' He was married to Yasho Rajya Lakshmi (1939-2009), the granddaughter of Mohan Rana, the last Rana prime minister of Nepal. *'''Karan Singh's eldest son, Vikramaditya, succeeds his father in 2003.''' Kashmir's rules of succession are based on male primogeniture so his older sister does not succeed.

The valley, adjoining the eastern side of [[Wikipedia:Nanga Parbat|Nanga Parbat]] Mountain, is about 120 km long with an area of 5,092 km². *The entrance of the valley is located about 60 km southeast of Gilgit with four side-valleys. The majority of the people practice subsistence agriculture and livestock is the main source of livelihood complemented by seasonal work. Due to its diverse landscape and climatic conditions the valley provides excellent habitat for a variety of commercially important medicinal plants. *A Persian adventurer is said to have married a princess of the Skārdu reigning family. The four sons born of this union became ras of Skārdu, Astor, Rondu, and Kharmang respectively, and from them descended the families of the chiefs of those places. The independence of Astore ceased with the conquest by the [[Wikipedia:Dogra|Dogra]] Rajadom of Kashmir. ==Toponymy== The ''Nilamata Purana'' describes the origin of Kashmir as coming from का ''ka'' (water) + शिमिरि ''shimir'' (to desiccate). Hence, Kashmir denotes “a land desiccated from water”. An alternative etymology proposes that Kashmir is a contraction of either ''Kashyap-mir(a)'' or ''Kashyapmeru'', denoting the “sea of Kashyapa” or the “mountain of Kashyapa”, eponyms of the sage [[Wikipedia:Rishi|Rishi]] [[Wikipedia:Kashyapa|Kashyapa]], the sage being credited with having drained the primordial Satisar Lake that occupied the Kashmir Valley before he reclaimed it from the water. ==Government== ====Provinces==== {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background: #0000ff; border-bottom: 10px solid orange;" width=10% | Province<br>(''anchal'') ! style="background: #0000ff; border-bottom: 10px solid orange;" width=10% | Capital ! style="background: #0000ff; border-bottom: 10px solid orange;" width=10% | Area ! style="background: #0000ff; border-bottom: 10px solid orange;" width=10% | Population ! style="background: #0000ff; border-bottom: 10px solid orange;" width=10% | Prefectures<br>(''jilla'') ! style="background: #0000ff; border-bottom: 10px solid orange;" width=50% | Notes |- | Anantnag | Anantnag | 3,984 km²<br>1,538 mi² | | | |- | Baramulla | Baramulla | 4,588 km²<br>1,771 mi² | | | |- | Budgam | Budgam | 1,371 km²<br>529 mi² | | | |- | Kupwara | Kupwara | 2,379 km²<br>919 mi² | | | |- | Pulwama | Pulwama | 1,370 km²<br>529 mi² | | | |- | Srinagar | Srinagar | 2,228 km²<br>860 mi² | | | |- | Muzaffarab | Muzaffarab | 9,738 km²<br>3,760 mi² | | | |- | Gilgit | Gilgit | 39,300 km²<br>15,172 mi² | | | |- | Astore | Astore | 8,657 km²<br>3,342 mi² | | | |- | Diamir | Chilas | 10,936 km²<br>4,233 mi² | | | |- | Ghizar | Gakuch | 9,635 km²<br>3,720 mi² | | | |- | Ghanche | Khaplu | 9,400 km²<br>3,629 mi² | | | |- | Skardu | Skardu | 18,000 km²<br>6,950 mi² | | | |} '''Thus, the total area of the rajadom is 121,586 km², slightly larger than *here's* North Korea.''' ==Geography== ===Borders=== ''Based, as much as possible, on World Map 2001.''

Because of its closeness to the Arabian Sea, Srinagar receives as much as 25 inches (635 millimetres) of rain from this source, with the wettest months being March to May with around 85 millimetres (3.3 inches) per month. *Across from the main Himalaya Range, even the southwest cloudbands break up and the climate is extremely dry and cold. Annual precipitation is only around 100 mm (4 inches) per year and the humidity is very low. This region, almost all above 3,000 metres (9,750 ft) above sea level experiences winters that are extremely cold. The average January temperature is −20 °C (−4 °F) with extremes as low as −40 °C (−40 °F). All the rivers freeze over and the people actually cross the rivers during this period because glacier melt in the summer inhibits crossing. *In the summer the days are typically a warm 20 °C (68 °F) but, with the low humidity and thin air, the nights can still be cold. ==Economy== ==Demographics== ==Culture== ===National symbols=== *National mammal: [[Wikipedia:Kashmir stag|Kashmir stag]] (''Cervus elaphus hanglu'') *National bird: [[Wikipedia:Lanceolated jay|Lanceolated jay]] (''Garrulus lanceolatus''] *National flower: [[Wikipedia:Saffron crocus|Saffron crocus]] (''Crocus sativus'') *National tree: [[Wikipedia:Betula utilis|Himalayan birch]] (''Betula utilis'') *National dish: [[Wikipedia:Rogan josh|rogan josh]] (lamb curry) *National emblem: **For supporters, **For a crest, *National aviation roundel: *National instrument: [[Wikipedia:Santoor|santoor]] *National colors: blue and [[Wikipedia:saffron (color)|deep saffron]] ===Kashmiri holidays=== {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background: #0000ff;

Rock carvings found in many parts of Ladakh show that the area has been inhabited from Neolithic times. Ladakh's earliest inhabitants consisted of a mixed Indo-Aryan population of [[Wikipedia:Mon people|Mons]] and [[Wikipedia:Dard people|Dards]], who find mention in the works of Herodotus, Nearchus, Megasthenes, Pliny, Ptolemy, and the geographical lists of the [[Wikipedia:Puranas|Puranas]]. Around the first century, Ladakh was a part of the [[Wikipedia:Kushan Empire|Kushan Empire]]. Buddhism spread into western Ladakh from Kashmir in the second century when much of eastern Ladakh and western Tibet was still practicing the [[Wikipedia:Bön|Bön]] religion. One of the five principal spiritual schools of Tibetan Buddhism, it remains the predominant religion of the rajadom. The seventh century Buddhist traveler [[Wikipedia:Xuanzang|Xuanzang]] also describes the region in his accounts. In the eighth century, Ladakh was involved in the clash between Tibetan expansion pressing from the east and Chinese influence exerted from Central Asia through the passes. Suzerainty over Ladakh frequently changed hands between China and Tibet. In 842, upon the dissolution of the Tibetan empire, Nyima-Gon, a Tibetan royal representative, annexed Ladakh for himself and founded a separate Ladakhi dynasty. During this period Ladakh acquired a predominantly Tibetan population. The dynasty promoted the second spreading of Buddhism (the first being the one in Tibet itself), importing religious ideas from northwest India, particularly from Kashmir. In 912, Nyi-ma-mon, a great-grandson of [[Wikipedia:Langdarma|Langdarma]], the last king of the Tibetan Kingdom of Tubo, established a kingdom in [[Wikipedia:Ngari|Ngari]] and annexed [[Wikipedia:Burang County|Purang]] and [[Wikipedia:Guge|Guge]]. Before dying, he divided his lands into three parts. His eldest son, Dal-gyi-mon, became the ruler of Mar-yul (Ladakh), his second son, Bra-shis-mon, received Guge-Purang, and the third son, Le-tsug-mon, received [[Wikipedia:Zanskar|Zanskar]]. Faced with the Islamic intrusions into South Asia in the thirteenth century, Ladakh sought guidance in religious matters from Tibet. For nearly two centuries, until the beginning of the seventeenth century, Ladakh was subject to raids and invasions from neighbouring Muslim states, which led some Ladakhis to convert to Islam who then fled to India. In 1470, [[Wikipedia:Lhachen Bhagan|Lhachen Bhagan]], the king of [[Wikipedia:Basgo|Basgo]], overthrew the king of [[Wikipedia:Leh|Leh]], reuniting and strengthening Ladakh. He took the surname Namgyal and founded the [[Wikipedia:Namgyal dynasty of Ladakh|Namgyal dynasty]] which survives to today. The Namgyals repelled raiders from Central Asia and temporarily extended the rajadom as far as Nepal. In the early seventeenth century efforts were made to restore destroyed artifacts and [[Wikipedia:gompa|gompas]] and the rajadom expanded into Zanskar and [[Wikipedia:Spiti Valley|Spiti]]. In 1616, Sengge Namgyal conquered many parts of the Tibetan Plateau to the west. He died in 1642 on his return from an expedition against the Mongols who had occupied the Tibetan province of Tsang and were threatening Ladakh. However, despite a defeat by the [[Wikipedia:Mughal Empire|Mughals]], who had already annexed Kashmir and Baltistan, Ladakh retained its independence. In the late seventeenth century, Ladakh sided with Bhutan in its dispute with Tibet which resulted in its being invaded by Tibet. During the reign of Delegs Namgyal (1660–1685), the King of Kashmir, at the time a province in the Mogul Empire, arranged for the Tibetan army to leave Ladakh. As payment for the assistance, the king made conditions, one of which was to build a large Sunni Muslim mosque in Leh. He also required that the Ladakhi king convert to Islam. The Treaty of Tismogang in 1684 settled the dispute between Tibet and Ladakh, but severely restricted Ladakh's independence, although the king returned to the Bön religion. In 1834, the [[Wikipedia:Dogra|Dogras]] under Zorawar Singh, a general of [[Wikipedia:Ranjit Singh|Ranjit Singh]], invaded and annexed Ladakh. '''In 1842, a Ladakhi rebellion re-established the rajadom's independence and restored the Namgyal raja to the throne. During the period of occupation, the deposed raja had been given the [[Wikipedia:jagir|jagir]] of [[Wikipedia:Stok|Stok]]. This remained the personal property of the Raja of Ladakh'''. ===The Yarlung Rajas of Ladakh=== {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=20% | '''Name''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=15% | '''Relationship''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=9% | '''Reign''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=4% | '''Died''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=42% | '''Notes''' |- | Nyima Gon | | | | founds first Ladakh dynasty |- | 1) Palgye Gon | son of Nyima Gon<br>king of [[Wikipedia:Ngari|Ngari]] | 960-990 | 990 | |- | 2) Drogon | son of 1) | 990-1020 | 1020 | |- | 3) Drakpa De | son of 2) | 1020-1050 | 1050 | |- | 4) Changchub Sempa | son of 3) | 1020-1080 | 1080 | |- | 5) Gyalpo | son of 4) | 1080-1100 | 1100 | |- | 6) Utpala | son of 5) | 1110-1140 | 1140 | conquers Kulu, Mustang, and parts of Baltistan |- | 7) Naglug | son of 6) | 1140-1170 | 1170 | |- | 8) Gebhe | son of 7) | 1170-1200 | 1200 | |- | 9) Jodor | son of 8) | 1200-1230 | 1230 | |- | 10) Tashi Gon | son of 9) | 1230-1260 | 1260 | |- | 11) Kunga Namgyal | son of 10) | 1260-1290 | 1290 | |- | 12) Jopal | son of 11) | 1290-1320 | 1320 | |- | 13) Ngodrup | son of 12) | 1320-1350 | 1350 | |- | 14) Jowo Rinchen | son of 13) | 1350-1380 | 1380 | |- | 15) Lhachen Sherab | son of 14) | 1380-1420 | 1420 | |- | 16) Lhachen Tritsug De | son of 15) | 1420-1459 | 1459 | |- | 17) Lhachen Drakbum De | son of 16) | 1420-1460 | 1460 | king of Leh |- | 18) Lhachen Drakpa Bum | son of 16) | 1459-1470 | 1470 | king of Rabten Lhatse |- | 19) Lodro Chogden | son of 17) | 1460-1500 | | deposed in |- | 20) Lhachen Bhara | son of 17) | 1500-1540 | | king of Rabten Lhatse |} ===The Yarlung Rajas of Ladakh=== {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=15% | '''Name''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=10% | '''Relationship''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=7% | '''Reign''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=4% | '''Died''' ! style="background: #87ceeb; border-bottom: 10px solid green;" width=54% | '''Notes''' |- | 21) Lhachen Bhagan | son of 20) | 1540-1555 | | |- | 22) Lhachen Lawang Namgyal | son of 21) | 1555-1575 | 1575 | deposed |- | 23) Tashi Namgyal | son of 21) | 1575-1595 | 1595 | repels Central Asian invaders |- | 24) Tsewang Namgyal I | son of 22) | 1595-1616 | 1616 | extends kingdom as far as Nepal |- | 25) Jamyang Namgyal | son of 22) | 1616-1623 | 1623 | unsuccessful efforts by Kashmir to convert nation to Islam |- | 26) Senge Namgyal | son of 25) | 1623-1624 | | |- | 27) Norbu Namgyal | son of 25) | 1624-1642 | ???

'''Grey Company Elvish''', nicknamed '''Grelvish''' among Tolkienists, is an [[Elves|Elvish]] conlang developed and used by the ''Grey Company'' ('''Tel'Mithrim'''), a guild of ''Ultima Online'' players who play Elves; it is not to be confused with any of [[Quendian|Tolkien's Elvish]] languages, though it is in part based on them. Its main purpose is to give flavour to in-character dialogue. ==Grammar== The grammar of Grey Company Elvish is mostly analytic and weakly agglutinating. There are several plural suffixes ('''-r''', '''-ea''', '''-ie''', '''-or''', '''-io''', '''-oo'''), "exact choice is left to the person creating the plural". A suffix '''-rim''' is used for great numbers or respect. The pronouns distinguish case only in the third person. Possessive pronouns are suffixed to the possessed noun. Verbs distinguish present, past, future and conditional, but do not receive person/number marking. Word order is SVO. ==Lexicon== Grey Company Elvish uses a vocabulary based on elements from [[Quenya]] (e.g., '''calma''' 'lamp') and [[Sindarin]] (e.g., '''amon''' 'hill'), but also from various other sources which are not always easy to identify; one of them seem to be various ''Dungeons & Dragons'' roleplaying handbooks (e.g., '''Tel'Quessir''' 'the Elven race'). There also appear to be some Celtic bits in the lexicon (e.g., '''shee''' 'fairy' from Irish ''sidhe''). ==External link== * [http://www.grey-company.org/Language/ Tel'Mithrim - Language Resources] [[Category:Conlangs]] Alveolar consonant 8392 56258 2010-09-28T16:52:09Z WeepingElf 43 Created page with "An '''alveolar consonant''' is a consonant articulated with the front of the tongue against the alveolar ridge."

This language, rather than one of the [[Quendian|Elvish]] languages, is the only language of Tolkien for which he has left us a grammar sketch (found in ''The History of Middle-earth 9: Sauron Defeated''). The language uses triconsonantal roots (similar to Semitic), but with the difference that each root also has a vowel associated with it which appears in all forms of the word. The same consonant base with a different ''characteristic vowel'' is a different root. The characteristic vowel normally appears between the first and the second consonant of the root, but it can be moved elsewhere. Nouns have four genders: masculine, feminine, common and neuter.

The country is an island located far in the north beyond the "lands of the Celts", but nevertheless graced with a temperate climate which allows a sophisticated civilization to flourish. The people of Hyperborea live in peace, freedom and prosperity and worship Apollo, to whom they have dedicated a large round temple. Hyperborea has been sought in many locations, some of them unlikely (e.g., a sunken island at the North Pole), some more plausible (e.g., the British Isles).

They are difficult sounds to master and a common target of speech impediments. A trill may include any amount of contacts; a single-contact trill is similar to a [[tap]], with the exception that taps are usually produced by active movement of articulators. The [[IPA]] recognizes three basic trills: * [[Bilabial trill]] [ʙ] - rareish * [[Alveolar trill]] [r] - a common [[rhotic]] sound, sometimes as a realization of a [[geminate]] tap * [[Uvular trill]] [ʀ] - common as a [[rhotic]] in parts of Europe (eg. [[French]], [[German]], [[Portuguese]]). Otherwise mostly found as an allophone of [[Voiced uvular fricative|[ʁ]]]. A frequent feature of [[conlang]]s that are [[Kitchen sink conlang|trying too hard]] is the inclusion of all three of these sounds. Other trills are also possible, though not at all [[Place of articulation|places of articulation]]: * Labiodental trill, [ʙ̪]: a possible though difficult-to-articulate sound. * Dental trill, [r̪]: a simple but rarely heard modification of the alveolar trill. [[UPSID]] reports a dental trill for e.g. [[Russian]]. * Retroflex trill: Not strictly possible, though [[Toda]] appears to feature a phoneme describable as such, basically an alveolar trill with a retroflex flap onset. * Epiglottal trill: A "purring" sound, associated with [[strident voice]]. The symbol [я] is frequently used for this sound. Trills can occur, beyond consonants, also as syllable nucleus (ie. vocalic). [[Slovak]] and [[Sanskrit]] are examples of languages featuring syllabic alveolar trills.

The Caliphate used Persia as something of a staging post for their expansions into [[Afghanopakistan|Afghanistan]] and [[India]] (also enslaving many Turkic peoples and taking them back to Baghdad to serve as cavalry troops) but had little effect on the mass of the people. For some three centuries, a largely Zoroastrian populace sullenly submitted to Muslim rule. However, with the extinction of the Zoroastrian élite, much of the Zoroastrian scripture and learning was lost during Abbasid rule.

GERMÄNGLISH 8413 56533 2010-10-06T18:47:18Z Rivendale 279 Created page with "INTRODUCTION Germänglish (or Germenglish) is an a posteriori, macaronic conlang which fundamentally incorporates the corpus and grammar of both modern German and English, though..." INTRODUCTION Germänglish (or Germenglish) is an a posteriori, macaronic conlang which fundamentally incorporates the corpus and grammar of both modern German and English, though not entirely nor evenly. I should note that Germänglish is not an IAL, nor was there any attempt to purge non-germanic words (since the conlang is partially based around modern English and will therefore inherently contain words of Latin origin. However, I do not think of such words as Latin, but English since they have been resident in the language for such a long time). My primary goal with Germänglish was to create a modern day hybrid of German and English. However, I didn't want to purge German of all of its traits (that wouldn't seem fair), but I did want to reduce some of its complexities, such as the case system. I decided to retain a (simplified) gender system for nouns, but his serves no grammatical function other than to add a little depth to the language. Also, rather than refer to this as 'gender', I chose to call it 'noun classification'. Typical German/English traits in Germänglish are: prepositions, umlaut, standard VSO/V2 word order, verb inversion, and verb agreement. Germänglish is quite phonetic, with a 1-1 letter to sound ratio. Spelling has taken on a Germanic feel too, especially noteable among non-germanic words, and there is a significant reduction in silent letters and non-diphthonic vowels, such as ou/ue in through/blue. Pronunciation wise, Germänglish is perhaps not as gutteral as German, and sounds that do not exist within the 2 languages (such as the th in the English the/bath or the gutteral r in the German rot, grün) have been purposely omitted in order that both English and German natives can speak and pronounce Germänglish consistently. On a semantic level, Germänglish leans more towards English in the sense of adpositional phrases: Place-Manner-Time, and word order follows SVO in both coordinate and subordinate clauses, although auxilliaries do send the main verb to the end, as in German. Finally, although Germänglish is fundamentally based on German and English, it is not necessarily engineered to sound exactly like them. Invariably (and quite rightly), it will take on its own personality and flavour. One could almost describe Germänglish as a 'baby' language in much the same way as the Dutch describe Afrikaans as 'baby Dutch. But then again, every language and dialect has its own traits and nuances. Sound change 8414 56570 2010-10-07T15:30:14Z Tropylium 756 /* Order */ cat Sound change is the main drive of languages change. ==Causes== {{Stub}} ==Types and terminology== Sound changes can be arranged in three broad classes: '''addition''', '''loss''' and '''modification''', and on the other hand, into '''conditional''' and '''unconditional''' changes. Types of additions: *'''[[Epenthesis]]''' *'''[[Excresence]]''' ... Types of modifications: * '''Merger''': Two sounds fall together to be pronounced the same. An example is the merger of [[English]] /w/ <w> and /ʍ/ <wh> in most dialects. ** If the end result (as is the case of /w/ here) is essentially the same as one of the original phonemes, one may speak of a merger of the other phoneme '''into''' the other. ** One might think that any merger must involve such a case, however this isn't the case: sometimes both the original ''sounds'' remain, except now as allophones. An example is the merger of */β/ &lt;v&gt; and */b/ &lt;b&gt; as "/b/" in Spanish: the resultant phoneme retains the allophone [β] intervocally, and the allophone [b] initially & after a nasal. ** A "stealth merger" occurs when two former phonemes end up becoming allophones without either of them changing at all, but rather, their ''environments'' change. For an example (which has played itself out in many Slavic languages, eg. [[Russian]]), suppose a language has the vowels /i ɨ/, and consonants before /i/ are palatalized (eg. /mi/ [mʲi]). Next suppose there are some consonant clusters of the shape /CjV/. If these change to become palatalized consonants as well (so eg. /mja/ → /mʲa/), a result is that palatalized consonants are now separate phonemes. However, if the combination /jɨ/ did ''not'' occur in the language, there is also another consequence: /ɨ/ and /i/ are now in complementary distribution, the former only after unpalatalized consonants, the latter only after palatalized consonants. Thus, they've merged. (Cf. [[palatalization-split]].) * '''Primary split''': A phoneme acquires two distinct [[allophone]]s in certain environments. This term is usually only used when the distinction, due to later changes in the environment, becomes phonemic. * '''Secondary split''' In '''[[loss]]''', a sound is lost entirely. With consonants (rarely vowels) this can also be called a '''merger''' (in)'''to zero''' (after the concepts of [[zero onset]] and [[zero coda]]). * The preposition matters here. A merger '''with''' zero may involve epenthesis, in a fashion similar to * Vowel loss: ** '''Apocope''' is the loss of a final vowel. ** '''Syncope''' is the loss of a medial vowel. ===Order=== A sound change may affect the outcome of another change, or the conditions of it. * If change X applies to a result of change Y, it is said that Y is '''feeding''' X. Any case of [[phoneme drift]] is a string of several changes feeding one another. * If change X applies to a phoneme that was previously also in some places affected by change Y (to something that X doesn't affect), Y is said to be '''counterfeeding''' X. * If change X applies in a context § that was previously created by change Y, it is that Y is ''bleeding'' X. * If change X applies in a context § that was previously also in some places affected by change Y (to something that doesn't trigger X), Y is said to '''counterbleed''' X. Neither a feeding or bleeding change is required to completely enable the change it is *eeding (and obviously, a change that is completely counter*ed does not happen at all). Both conditional and unconditional changes can be (counter)fed, but only conditional changes can be (counter)bled.

Lee's advice for a 30-day conlang 8416 56635 2010-10-08T21:42:54Z Lee 1418 == Introduction == [http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1010A&L=CONLANG&P=R10103 On 7 Oct 2010 Matthew Martin] asked about creating a conlang in 30-days, [http://www.nanowrimo.org NaNoWriMo]-style: <blockquote> <p>From: Matthew Martin<br> Subject: What is the state of the art for easy apriori conlangs?<br> To: CONLANG@listserv.brown.edu<br> Date: Thursday, October 7, 2010, 7:17 AM</p> <p>I'm thinking of trying to write a conlang in November in NaNoWriMo style. As two design goals, I am hoping for a language that is different semantically, syntactically and lexically from English, yet reasonably easy. On the other hand, most attempt make easy languages (pidgins, creoles and most auxlangs) resort to lots of loan words and an "apple that doesn't fall far from the tree" style in terms of syntax and semantics, (eg. choosing SVO just because it is common, or defining a word to mean 'honor' with all 20-some English definitions).</p> <p>Can any of you offer any advice on what features I should incorporate to end up with an easy apriori conlang?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Matthew Martin</p> </blockquote> At the request of a number of CONLANG list members, my (Lee) slightly-edited response is posted here. == Advice for creating a conlang in 30-days == I can't say anything I've done is necessarily state of the art, but I've tried you are about to attempt for both [[LoCoWriMo]]s (2009 and 2010)... and failed to get it done in the allotted month. Maybe the third will be a charm! Anyway, here are a few lessons I've learned along the way. None of these are earth-shattering, and most are probably obvious. # At every level, start simple. Try with all your might to not add that one extra feature you are not 100% sure you really want/need. # Phonology. Create your phonology quickly, and stick with it. # Syllable patterns. Select a few and stick to them. If your pattern(s) don't yield enough possible words, allow your words to have one more syllable. # Word generation. Create a spreadsheet or something to randomly create a collection of words. It is far faster to have a bunch of candidates to choose from that to sit pondering what word feels "right" for a concept. Just pick one that sounds good and move on. If your language design allows for words to readily change part of speech, double-check your lexicon before creating a new word. # If borrowing features from other languages, keep that list of languages small. # Grammar. Keep it simple. Start with grade school beginning reader level sentences first. Once you can reliably read and write statements and questions, add a single layer (modal, tense, etc.). Don't add another layer of complexity until the one you are on works reliably. # Delay tweaking as long as possible. Instead, keep a list of potential tweaks and why you think you want to implement them. You may discover some of them will become unnecessary. # If you find yourself getting stuck on a particular feature or language construction, make a note of it and move on to something else. (I tend to get stuck trying to break through a sticking point, and before I know it I've spun my wheels for five days.) # Do something with the language everyday, even if nothing more than creating ten more basic sentences. # Have fun.

These are respectively realized as '''-ki''' and '''-ka''' when attached to a word that has a final syllable containing '''h''' or '''y'''. :Example : '''ina''' - food, meal | '''inahi''' - snack, morsel | '''inaha''' - feast, banquet :Example : '''tsaka''' - house, home, dwelling | '''tsakahi''' - shack, hut, cabin | '''tsakaha''' - palace, mansion * These are also used to differentiate hue, or shade. :Example : '''yanahi''' - light yellow, '''kuyaha''' - dark green * In [[Kala]] the concepts of comparative and superlative degree of an adjective are merged into a single form, the elative. How this form is understood or translated depends upon context and definiteness. In the absence of comparison, the elative conveys the notion of “greatest”, “supreme.” :Example : '''tahaka''' - bigger/biggest | '''tsaka hayo ke nayo tahaka''' - His house is bigger than mine. :Example : '''yanaha''' - more yellow/most yellow | '''ke huam tayo yanaha''' - Your flowers are the most yellow. ===Gender=== *In general, nouns do not indicate their gender. To distinguish the sexes, one can use the adjectival endings '''-ta''' and '''-na'''. :Example : '''nikata''' "a male dog", '''nikana''' "a female dog". === Articles === *There is only one article in '''Kala''', '''ke'''. It is used primarily as a "noun marker". *It is ambi-definite, meaning it can be either definite or indefinite. The distinction is made through context. :Example : '''kama''' "village", '''ke kama''' "the/a village", '''ke kama'a''' "the villages" :Example : '''inahi''' "snack", '''ke inahi''' "the/a snack", '''ke inahim''' "the snacks" ===Number=== * Nouns are either singular, plural or collective. * Concrete nouns are pluralized by suffixing '''-m'''. :Examples : '''kono''' - stone > '''konom''' - stones | '''naka''' - woman > '''nakam''' - women * When the last syllable of a word contains an '''m''', the plural is marked by reduplicating the final vowel. :Examples : '''kama''' - village > '''kama'a''' - villages | '''teyemi''' - phrase > '''teyemi'i''' - phrases * Collective (plural) nouns are marked by prefixing '''tli-'''. :Examples : '''tsaka''' - house > '''tlitsaka''' - neighborhood | '''yama''' - mountain > '''tliyama''' - mountain range * Nouns need not be marked plural if a number is used to show quantity. :Example : '''sahi''' - color > '''sahim''' - colors > '''sahi ya'o''' - five color(s) * Adjectives do not show plural agreement. However, when an adjective is used nominally, it can be pluralized. :Example : '''nyeli''' - pink > '''nyelim''' - (the) pink (ones) ==Pronouns== * [[Kala]] generally distinguishes four persons, the fourth person indicating abstract and inanimate nouns – both in the singular and plural numbers. There is also a distinction between inclusive (I/we and you) and exclusive (we but not you) forms of the first person plural. {| class="wikitable" border=1 |- ! !! ''Nominative'' !! ''Accusative'' !!

Some analyses treat them as being declined for both case and number; however, Dawkins (1999), who wrote the most widely-accepted Grammar of Tsakxa, opposes this by noting numerous clitic-like properties assigned to these suffixes, most predominantly their suffixing to adjectives. There are two 'classes' of noun in Tsakxa, distinguished by their inflection for plural. The noun phrase follows this syntactic pattern: :{|class="wikitable" |- ! Noun stem || Genitive || Adjectives || Comparison || Number || Demonstrative || Suffix || Case |- |colspan=8| ''<center>Umu tatataqa pesheshetpenungxu</center>'' |- | ''umu'' || ''tata-ta-qa'' || ''pesh'' || -esh || ''-et'' || ''-ep'' || ''-en'' || ''-ungxu'' |- | gift || my father's || rich || -est || (ones) || that || not || amongst |- |colspan=8| <center>Not among those richest gifts of my father's</center> |} == Stem == Noun stems may be [[Tsakxa animacy|animate or inanimate]]. Compounds take the animacy of the head. The noun stem itself may be modified for number as a unit through vowel and consonant change. However, the vast majority of nouns fall into the 'first class' or 'common class', which form their plural regularly through clitic-particles which come later in the noun phrase. The only case in which more than one constituent is marked for number is when a class 2 noun takes an adjective, in which case the ''-t'' is applied to the adjective and the noun takes its irregular plural as usual. === Class 1 nouns === Class 1 nouns do not vary in and of themselves. They may take the number suffixes (see below) but only when they are the only constituent of the phrase preceding the number suffix slot. === Class 2 nouns === Class 2 nouns, variously called 'irregular nouns', 'strong nouns' and 'broken nouns' by grammarians, undergo a vowel change in the plural (but not the dual). According to Dawkins, this was the original system for the formation of plurals, thanks to an old system of vowel harmony which caused vowels to assimilate with the vowel of an initial prefix which he posits to be ''e-'' or perhaps originally ''i-''. They form the dual identically to Class 1 nouns. All Class 2 nouns have an initial consonant followed by /a/. In nouns beginning with any other consonant than /t/ or /p/, the plural is formed by a simple vowel change from /a/ to /e/: : ''mama'' -> ''mema'' - 'human' -> 'humans' In nouns beginning with /t/, in addition to the vowel change, the /t/ lenites to /s/: : ''tap'' -> ''sep'' - 'eye' -> 'eyes' In nouns beginning with /p/, the /p/ lenites to /f/: : ''pasak'' -> ''fesak'' - 'cooking-pot' -> 'cooking-pots' == Adjectives == Comparable adjectives are declined into positive, comparative and equative degrees with a null suffix, the suffix ''-ya'' and the suffix ''-(e)sh'' respectively: : ''mama wa'' - a young man : ''mama wa-ya'' - the younger man/youngest man : ''mama wa-sh'' - the as-young man The superlative and the comparative are differentiated by the postposition used to link it to the object of the comparison. The superlative uses the genitive, the comparative the comitative: : ''mama wa-ya wa-nxa-qa'' - the person who is youngest of the youths : ''mama wa-ya wa-ta'' - the person who is younger than the youth The equative always uses the comitative: : ''mama wa-sh wa-ta'' - the person who is as young as the youth == Number suffix == The number suffix has its own place in the noun phrase. There are four possible numbers: === Singular === The singular is unmarked. : ''pasak wasa'' - blue cooking pot === Dual === The dual is formed by ''-f'' (according to Dawkins, derived from a classifier plus ''fi'' 'two'): : ''paʔe'' -> ''paʔef'' - child -> two children Through epenthesis, following a stop other than /p/,' ''-f'' is usually found as an infix before the final consonant: : ''sat'' -> ''saft'' - 'house' -> 'two houses' The f also causes a final bilabial stop (i.e. /p/) to assimilate: : ''tap'' -> ''taf'' - 'eye' -> 'two eyes' The dual assimilates to a final ''f'': : ''sat emenxaf'' -> ''sat emenxaf'' - red house -> red houses === Plural === The plural is formed with the suffix ''-t'' (derived, according to Dawkins, from a classifier plus ''tum'', 'many'): : ''paʔe'' -> ''paʔet'' - 'child' -> 'children' In the case of preceding constituents already ending in a consonant that cannot form a cluster with /t/ (/ç/, /t/), the suffix is preceded by a vowel that assimilates to the last preceding vowel: : ''sat'' -> ''satat'' - 'house' -> 'houses' : ''sat weq'' -> ''sat weqet'' - 'permanent house' -> 'permanent houses' Those ending in a nasal consonant assimilate the /t/, resulting in no change: : ''pan'' -> ''pan'' - 'wolf' -> 'wolves' === Paucal === The paucal or generic suffix is formed with the suffix ''-nxa'': : ''paʔe'' -> ''paʔenxa'' - 'child' -> 'a group of children', 'children (as a class)' If preceded by a dental consonant, the consonant is assimilated: : ''pan'' - > ''panxa'' - 'wolf' -> 'a group of wolves', 'wolves (as a class)' If preceded by a non-dental consonant, ''-nxa'' takes an epenthetic vowel which matches the final vowel of the preceding constituent: : ''sat weq'' -> ''sat weqenxa'' - 'permanent house' -> 'a group of permanent houses', 'permanent houses (as a class)' The paucal suffix is used to express the idea of a group of something: : ''shulata'' -> ''shulatanxa'' - 'soldier' -> 'a group of soldiers' : ''shulatanxa wawa Mosaqana aku'' - a group of soldiers are coming to Moscow It is also used similarly to the French definite article in forming sentences discussing groups of nouns 'as a class': : ''shulatanxa wa Mosaqana aku'' - soldiers are always coming to Moscow == Demonstratives == Demonstrative adjectives are suffixed to the noun phrase: {| border="1" cellpadding="2" class="wikitable" ! colspan=3 | Distance from speaker |- !'''this''' !'''that''' !'''yonder''' |- | -nxu || -ep || -e |} ''Nxu'' roughly equates to 'this', referring to something close to the speaker, ''nxa'' to 'that', referring to something easily visible, and ''e'' to 'yonder', referring to something either far away or out of visual range. == Case == Tsakxa nouns are sometimes described as being inflected for case. It is perhaps more accurate to say that there are a number of postpositioned particles and true postpositions that have cliticised and can phonetically assimilate with preceding noun phrases. These are totally regular in their affixation and there is no change between Class 1 and Class 2 nouns. === Absolutive case === The absolutive case is marked by a null morpheme. Nominals in the absolutive case may be either grammatical patients (i.e. the things affected by a verb) or grammatical agents with no volition (the unwilling subject of a verb). For example: :''Waspa ashewaq-ø qa-engxut-u ush-u'' - the tentflap blew outward towards me (tent door.flap-ABS DAT-blow-PERSONAL outward-CONJ) In this case, the tentflap is what in English would be called the 'subject'. In Tsakxa, however, it is considered to have no volitional part in the action described in the verb, so it is treated as a patient. Likewise: :''Waspa Nunu-ø unqa-utshu-nxa'' - Nuna died in the tent (that we are discussing) In this case, Nunu is again the 'subject' of the verb ''utshu'', 'to die'. Nevertheless, he is treated as a patient because the dying is not of his volition, contrasted with ''Waspa Nunu-kxa unqa-utshu-nxa'', 'Nunu let himself die/committed suicide in that tent', where Nunu is marked with the ergative or active case. :''Waspa Efan-akxa Nunu-ø unqa-utshu-nxa'' - Efan made Nunu commit suicide in the tent (that we are discussing) In this last example, despite the translation of the verb being identical to the former translation with the ergative, Nunu is treated as being non-volitional again. This is the same in all cases of causativity; the 'agent' is reduced to a patient. :''Waspa unqa-tusha-nxa Nunu-ø engqa-ø'' - In the tent (that we have been discussing), Nunu accidentally killed a fly/a fly accidentally killed Nunu Note that the above sentence is ambiguous as to who did what to whom. This would be shown by context. === Ergative case === The ergative or active case, marked with the particle ''kxa'', is used for volitional agents: that is, grammatical agents considered to be willingly engaged in the activity described by the verb. This is the only way to distinguish a number of distinct verbs in English: for example, ''Paʔ, Nunu-kxa utshu-nxa'' ('as for that, Nunu committed suicide') and ''Paʔ, Nunu utshu-nxa'' ('as for that, Nunu died') are only differentiated by the degree of volition exhibited by the agent. :''Waspa unqa-tusha-nxa Nunu-nxa engqa-ø'' - In the tent (that we have been discussing), Nunu killed a fly The above sentence shows the typical use of the ergative case (contrasted with ''Waspa unqa-tusha-nxa Nunu-ø engqa-ø'', which implies an accidental killing). Omission of Nunu is possible and would result in a passive-like sentence: ''Waspa unqa-tusha-nxa engqa-ø'' - in the tent, a fly was killed. :''Waspa unqa-tusha-nxa Nunu-ø engqa-ø Ivan-nxa'' - In the tent (that we have been discussing), Ivan made Nunu kill a fly/Ivan made a fly kill Nunu In a causative situation, the causative party is promoted to the main agent and takes the ''-nxa''. The actual agent of the verb, in this case Nunu, is demoted to the absolutive. Note that this produces ambiguity like that above which is disambiguated by context. A sentence can only ever have a maximum of one agent. To sum up the morphosyntactic roles of the absolutive and the ergative: {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="5" |colspan="2" rowspan="2" | &nbsp; !colspan="3"| <center>'''Sentence type'''</center> |- ! Causative ! Transitive ! Intransitive |- |rowspan="3"| <br><center>'''Case'''</center> | '''Causative''' | <span style="color:#008000">ergative</span>/<span style="color:#800000">ergative</span> | - | - |- | '''Agent''' | <span style="color:#008000">absolutive</span>/<span style="color:#800000">absolutive</span> | <span style="color:#008000">ergative</span>/<span style="color:#800000">absolutive</span> | <span style="color:#008000">ergative</span>/<span style="color:#800000">absolutive</span> |- | '''Patient''' | <span style="color:#800000">absolutive</span> | <span style="color:#800000">absolutive</span> | <span style="color:#800000">absolutive</span> |} Here, green represents volitional and red non-volitional arguments. As it can be seen, only agents in non-causative sentences may change case to show volition. === Focus case === The 'focus' case is more of a lack of case than an actual case unto itself. No matter what the actual grammatical relationship the focus has with the rest of the sentence, it takes no case marking; instead, the relationship is marked on the verb: :''Nunu, utshu-nxa'' - Nunu committed suicide :''Nunu, se-utshu-nxa'' - Nunu died === Dative case === The dative case, marked with the particle ''-(q)a'', is used for indirect objects, for genitives and in a large number of idiomatic constructions: : ''Sesu uʔ-a'' - your sister (sister 2ps-DAT) With certain verbs - ''nutu'', for example, 'to shoot' - both the dative and the absolutive may be used for the patient. The use of the dative expresses an attempt but does not specify the success or failure of the attempt: : ''Pan te-nutunxa'' - I shot the wolf (I hit the wolf when I shot it) : ''Pan qa-nutunxa'' - I shot at the wolf (and may have hit it or not) === Locative cases === The locative cases are really a highly comprehensive set of postpositions which phonologically assimilate with the preceding noun phrase. : ''ta'': 'and', 'in company with', 'at', 'in' (a location), 'by', 'to' (with verbs of motion) assimilates to preceding nasal :: ''fesak-ta'' - by the cooking pots, and the cooking pots :: ''fesak wasat-ta'' - by the blue cooking pots :: ''Mosaçan-na'' - 'in Moscow', 'near Moscow' : ''unqa'': 'inside' (a hollow object), 'into' (with verbs of motion), causes preceding /t/ to assimilate to /s/, causes preceding vowel to assimilate to /u/ :: ''sas-unqa'': 'in the house', 'into the house' :: ''memu-unqa'': 'inside people' :: ''sat wasu-unqa'': 'inside the blue houses' : ''ut'': 'outside', 'near', 'out of', 'away from' (with verbs of motion), causes preceding /t/ to assimilate to /s/, causes preceding vowel to assimilate to /u/ :: ''sas-ut'': 'outside the house', 'out of the house' : ''fa'', 'beneath', 'below', 'under', 'down (into)', 'down in the' (with verbs of motion), causes preceding /p/ to assimilate to /f/ :: ''kutqu-fa'': 'down into the cave', 'under the cave' : ''anqe'', 'above', 'on', 'onto', 'up (out of)' (with verbs of motion) :: ''wespa-anqe'': above the tents, on the tents : ''te'': 'in', 'within', 'during' (time) :: ''fasha-te'': 'in that year' == Other suffixes == === Negative suffix === The 'negative suffix' acts to a degree like a case, although it can be combined with other cases and is the last suffix to be applied to a noun phrase, after plural. This takes the form ''-en'' and can be applied to both nouns and adjectives: : ''Paʔ, Nunu-n utshu-nxa'' - Nunu didn't die : ''Nunu-n keq-em-en'' - Nunu is not dead === Personal suffix === The so-called 'personal suffix' is used in a number of contexts, most commonly to imply a form of motion towards the speaker. When used with nouns, it implies inherent possession. It is used consistently with parts of the body belonging to the speaker. It takes the form of ''-(s)u'' for male speakers and ''-(s)a'' for female speakers. It precedes locative cases. : ''taf-u'' - 'my eyes', literally 'eyes towards me' === Focus-referential suffix === Whilst the 'topic' or 'focus' itself is unmarked except through word order, there is a suffix (or rather a clitic) whose purpose is ill-defined in most grammars. It appears to imply some kind of connection to the initial element of the sentence (i.e. the focus/topic). It is usually glossed as a possessive suffix, although its uses are far more wide-ranging than simply a marker of ownership. It is believed to have derived from a former reflexive pronoun or second third person pronoun that was used to discriminate in situations such as 'Anna gave Joan her (Anna's) book' and 'Anna gave Joan her (Joan's) book'. It is often used in the manner of a copula with stand-alone adjectives or noun phrases which modify the focussed element. : ''Mosaqan, metqu-m!'' - As for Moscow, it's vast! (Moscow-TOPIC vast-TOP) : ''Ifan, taf-em metqu'' - Ivan has large eyes (Ivan-TOPIC eye.PLU-TOP large) : ''Ifan, sesu-em ta-nxa'' - As for Ivan, I saw his sister (Ivan-TOPIC sister-TOP see-PERF) [[Category:Tsakxa]] Tsakxa nouns 8423 56775 2010-10-15T20:54:47Z Welshy 1312 moved [[Tsakxa nouns]] to [[Tsakxa noun phrases]] #REDIRECT [[Tsakxa noun phrases]] Tsakxa verbs 8424 58234 2010-12-02T20:03:51Z Welshy 1312 '''Verbs''' in '''[[Tsakxa]]''' are comparatively heavily inflected, conjugating by aspect, mood and voice. There are two classes of verbs, the monopartite verbs (which have a single stem and are conjugated regularly) and the bipartite verbs (which have a bipartite stem and whose conjugation is far more complex and irregular). == Verbal roots == Verbs may either be active or stative. Most stative verbs correspond to adjectives in English and are used similarly, potentially with adjectival prefixes: : ''Mama pesh'' - a rich man - ''Mama anu-pesh'' - a man who is said to be rich - ''Mama atu-pesh-as'' - if the man had been rich Active verbs may also be used as adjectives, in which case they correspond to present participles or relative clauses: : ''Mama ʔuwes'' - a man who eats Bipartite verbs have two stems. These, however, may not be used as adjectives. Many bipartite verbs have monopartite, intransitive counterparts which are used for this purpose: : ''Mama aq'' - a man who walks, the walking man - ''as-aq'' - to walk somewhere == Commonalities == === Polarity === Negativity is marked with the particle ''pa'', which is placed in a variety of places depending on emphasis and personal taste. Reduplication to ''apa'' creates an emphatic 'no' or 'never': : ''Wen apa su se-wes'' - I never eat meat (meat never 1ps ABS<sup>-3</sup>eat<sup>0</sup>) An emphatic declarative is also possible with the particle ''ʔu'' which works in much the same way as ''pa'': : ''Wen ʔu su se-wes'' - I always eat meat (meat DECL.EMPH 1ps ABS<sup>-3</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>) === Voice/agreement === Tsakxa has what is termed by Dawkins as an 'information saliency voice system'. The verb agrees with the 'main argument' or 'focus', which is usually the topic but can also introduce new information in some contexts. When the focus is the agent, the prefix is null: : ''Kangqa su ta-nxa'' - as for the beast, it saw me (beast 1ps see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) When the focus is the patient, the prefix is a ''se-'' or a ''te'' depending on the animacy of the patient. : ''Wen se-wes'' - The meat is eaten (meat ABS<sup>-3</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>) When the focus is an adverbial argument, it takes no case marking itself, but the prefix mimics the case marking (before allomorphy): : ''Waspa nqu-kaq-enxa'' - We sat down in the tent (tent INESS[INAN]<sup>-3</sup>-sit<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) : ''Tenqa umut-anxa qa-seweq'' - This gift is for Tenqa (Tenqa gift-this DAT[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-intended<sup>0</sup>) For an exhaustive list of agreement prefixes, see the section on agreement in monopartite verbs below. === Causativity === Causatives are formed simply by adding an ergative argument and demoting any existing ergative arguments to absolutives: : ''Pema Nunu-kxa te-utshu-nxa'' - Pema was made to commit suicide/was made to die by Nunu (Pema Nunu-ERG ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-die<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) == Suffix slot == The suffix slot is the final slot in the verbal complex. All of the suffixes that attach here are clitics which may also attach to noun phrases and have various different purposes. Only one suffix may be placed in the slot, although in older texts it appears that these clitics could be stacked. === Conjunctive form === The conjunctive or participle form is derived from monopartite verbs simply with the suffix ''-u''. Regular bipartite verbs form the conjunctive in much the same way after joining their two stems together, but many bipartite verbs have forms acquired by suppletion. The conjunctive form is used in sentences alongside a 'main verb'. The 'main verb' carries the vast majority of the inflection and grammatical information, which is then transferred to the conjunctive. This construction expresses two connected actions, with the connection determined by context: :''Pema wen utshu-u enxa-nxa'' - Pema ate some meat and died (due to the meat) (Pema meat die-CONJ eat<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) The conjunctive form is also used in constructions such as 'I love eating meat': :''A-su wen enxa-u miqat'' - I love eating meat (1ps meat eat-CONJ enjoy<sup>0</sup>) Although the participle lacks much of the inflection found on other verbs, it is still inflected for the role of the focus, as are other verbs: :''Wen se-enxa-u su miqat'' - Meat, I love eating it (meat ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>-CONJ 1ps enjoy<sup>0</sup>) ==== Use with auxiliaries ==== There are a few verbs which act as auxiliaries in that they add a sense of, for example, particular motion. These verbs are never found in finite form (or, if they are, have a different meaning), only in conjunctive form alongside a different verb. They carry identical agreement to the verb they modify: :''ush-u'' gives a sense of turning or movement away: ''Sesu-su ush-u atu-wa hut-ak'' - I would turn and go away from my sister (sister-PERSON turn<sup>0</sup>-CONJ<sup>3</sup> CONTRAFACT<sup>-1</sup>-go<sup>0</sup> ABL[INANIM]<sup>3</sup>-go<sup>0</sup>) :''nas-u'' is roughly equivalent to 'be able to': ''Su nas-u aq-el'' - I think I can walk (1ps can<sup>0</sup>-CONJ<sup>3</sup> walk<sup>0</sup>-DUB<sup>2</sup>) :''tuq-u'' is roughly equivalent to 'have to', 'must', 'should': ''Su tuq-u aq'' - I have to walk (1ps must<sup>0</sup>-CONJ<sup>3</sup> walk<sup>0</sup>) :''aʔ-u'' is an intensifier: ''Efan se-aʔ-u te-paʔ-enxa'' - Ivan was struck violently (Ivan ABS<sup>-3</sup>-violent<sup>0</sup>-CONJ<sup>3</sup> ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-strike-PERF<sup>1</sup>) === Subordinating suffixes === ==== Adjectival clauses ==== Adjectival clauses are formed by the incorporation of the verb within the noun phrase as an adjective. In this case, any case clitic may be placed within the suffix slot: : ''Mama ʔu-wes-akxa'' - The man that eats/is eating... (person INTRANS<sup>-1</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>-ERG<sup>3</sup>) : ''Mama su te-ta-nxa-kxa'' - The man that I saw... (person 1ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>-ERG<sup>3</sup>) === Adverbial clauses === Subordination of adverbial clauses is accomplished using the adverbial case suffixes. Note that the arguments of the adverbial verb form must precede it directly. For example: : ''A-su a-su-m te-ngqu-nxa-te su-qa wa-ak'' - I went when I (myself) was told (FOCUS-1ps FOCUS-1ps-REFL ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-command<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>-TEMP<sup>3</sup> go<sup>0</sup>-go<sup>0</sup> Note that the entire adverbial phrase can be placed in topical position: : ''A-su Nunu-kxa te-ngqu-nxa wa su-kxa et-ak'' - I went ''when I was told to by Nunu'' (FOCUS-1ps Nunu-ERG ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-command<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup> go<sup>0</sup> 1ps-ERG TEMP<sup>3</sup>-go<sup>0</sup>) === Nominal clauses === Subordination of nominal clauses is accomplished using the ergative and absolutive (null) suffixes. Note that the verb's arguments must precede it directly. : ''A-su as-uʔ aʔ yem se-lup'' - I know what you want (TOPIC-1ps TOPIC-2ps 3ps want<sup>0</sup> ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-know.something) : ''As-aʔ as-aʔ-em aʔ yem-ekxa se-tusha-nxa'' - He's going to be killed by what he wants (TOPIC-3ps TOPIC-3ps-REFL 3ps want<sup>0</sup>-ERG<sup>3</sup> ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-kill<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) Like adverbial clauses, they may be fronted: : ''As-uʔ aʔ yem a-su se-lup'' - I know ''what you want'' (TOPIC-2ps 3ps want 3ps ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-know.something<sup>0</sup>) === Personal suffix === The personal suffix takes the form ''-(s)u'' for male speakers and ''-(s)a'' for female speakers. Its use is ill-defined and implies, generally, motion towards the speaker: :''Wa-ak-u''/''Wa-ak-a'' - Come towards me (come<sup>0</sup>-come<sup>0</sup>-PERS<sup>3</sup>) It can also imply benefit brought to the speaker: :''Tekutaru aʔ-akxa te-a-nxa-sa'' - He told the doctor for me (doctor he-ERG ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-tell<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>-PERS<sup>3</sup>) Or simply imply some kind of relation to the speaker in what is being said: :''Nenqa ʔu-tashit-enxa-u'' - Nenqa read a something to me/read (a book) that I wrote (Nenqa GEN<sup>-1</sup>-read<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>-PERS<sup>3</sup>) == Monopartite verbs == Monopartite verbs are by far the more common type of verb in Tsakxa. They have a single stem and can take up to three prefixes and two suffixes (not including the personal clitic, whose uses are discussed above): :{|class="wikitable" |- |colspan="12" | <center>'''''Waspap Nenqakxa unqatuʔutashitenxas-u'''''</center> |- | || || || || || '''agreement''' <small>(-3)</small> || '''evidentiality''' <small>(-2)</small> || '''valency''' <small>(-1)</small> ||'''stem''' <small>(0)</small> || '''aspect''' <small>(1)</small> || '''mood''' <small>(2)</small> || '''suffix''' <small>(3)</small> |- | ''waspa'' || ''-ep'' || ''-ø'' || ''Nenqa'' || ''-kxa'' || ''unq-'' || ''atu-'' || ''ʔu-'' || ''tashet'' || ''-enxa'' || ''-s'' || ''-u'' |- | tent || -that || -TOPIC || Nenqa || -ERG || INESS[INANIM]- || CONTRAFACT- || INTRANS- || read || -PERF || -SUBJ || -PERS |- |colspan="12" | <center>Had Nenqa deliberately read something that relates to me/read something to me in that tent (that we can see) (and have been talking about) (but he hasn't)</center> |} === Agreement === All verbs agree with the focussed element, expressing the grammatical relationship of the element with the rest of the sentence through a prefix which is mostly identical (before allomorphy) to or a contracted version of the standard case suffix that would otherwise be attached to the noun in a non-focussed context. This is the first prefix slot, marked in glosses by a superscript <sup>-3</sup>. The prefix varies based on whether the argument is [[Tsakxa animacy|animate or inanimate]]. {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="5" |- ! Case (suffix) ! Prefix (animate) ! Prefix (inanimate) ! Usage |- | Ergative (''-kxa'') | ø- | ø- | Shows the volitive agent |- | Absolutive (''-ø'') | te- | se- | Shows the patient or non-volitive agent |- | Dative (''-(q)a'') | ''q(a)-'' | ''a-'' | Shows a genitive, beneficiary or indirect object |- | Comitative/locative (''-(t)a'') | ''ta-'' | ''sa-'' | Shows a locative with place names ('in', 'to'), 'and', 'with', 'by', instrumental uses: 'using' |- | Inessive (''-(u)nqa'') | ''enq(u)-'' | ''unq(u)-'' | Inside (a hollow object, building etc), into, in |- | Intrative (''-(u)ngxu'') | ''(e)ngx(u)-'' | ''ungx(u)-'' | Among, amidst, between |- | Ablative (''-ut'') | ''hu(t)-'' | ''u(t)-'' | Out of, outside, by, near, away from |- | Subessive (''-fa'') | ''p-'' | ''f-'' | Under, down into, beneath |- | Adessive (''-atqe'') | ''tq(a)-'' | ''sh(a)-'' | On, above, up into, up onto |- | Temporal (''-te'') | - | ''(e)t-'' | At (time), during, for (an amount of time) |} === Evidentiality === All verbs carry inflection for evidentiality. This is the second prefix slot, marked in glosses by a superscript <sup>-2</sup>. There are three degrees of evidentiality: Certainty (marked by the prefix ''ø-''), used when the speaker observed the act in question or is certain that it occurred: : ''Sesu-ø uʔ-a te-ta-nxa'' - your sister saw you (sister-TOPIC 2ps-DAT ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) In future contexts use of the null prefix is emphatic: : ''Nenqa patangqate te-ta-nxa'' - I WILL see Nenqa tomorrow (nenqa tomorrow ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) Uncertainty, marked by the prefix ''anu-'', is used for reported speech and events that may have happened: : ''Nenqa te-anu-ta-nxa'' - you saw Nenqa (didn't you?) (nenqa ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-UNCERTAIN<sup>-2</sup>-see-PERF<sup>1</sup>) There is a strong overlap with the dubitative here - original analyses treated this as a circumfix with the dubitative suffix but there are instances of one occurring without the other. The dubitative implies something slightly different from the ''anu-'' prefix - ''anu-'' simply confirms that the speaker was not present at the event and cannot vouch completely for what happened. The dubitative gives a degree of actual distancing from the event: : ''Nenqa aʔ te-anu-ta-nxa'' - I believe that he saw Nenqa (but I wasn't actually present at the time) (nenqa 3ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-UNCERTAIN<sup>-2</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) : ''Nenqa aʔ te-anu-ta-nxa-l'' - He says/people say that he saw Nenqa (but I don't know whether to believe it) (nenqa 3ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-UNCERTAIN<sup>-2</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>-DUB-<sup>2</sup>) The final evidentiality prefix denotes hypotheticality, marked with ''atu''. This states that the event never in fact happened: : ''Nenqa uʔ te-atu-ta-nxa'' - you would've seen Nenqa/say you'd seen Nenqa (nenqa 2ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-CONTRAFACT<sup>-2</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) === Valency === Transitive verbs are distinguished by whether they can take this prefix or not. This is the third and final prefix slot, marked in glosses by a superscript <sup>-1</sup>. There are three valency prefixes which may be applied to these verbs: ==== Transitive ==== The transitive prefix is null. In transitive verbs, this null prefix must be accompanied by a transitive patient: :''Sesu-sa wen enxa'' - My sister is eating meat (sister-PERSON meat eat<sup>0</sup>) ==== Generic ==== Transitive verbs can take the prefix ''-(ʔ)u(ʔ)-'', which is referred to variously as the 'generic' prefix, the 'monotransivity' prefix, and the 'null-patient' prefix. This makes the verb monotransitive or generic: :''Sesu-sa uʔ-enxa'' - my sister is eating (something) (sister-PERSON GEN<sup>-1</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>) The verb cannot then take a patient. The sentence *''Sesu-sa wen uʔ-enxa'' is ungrammatical. ==== Reflexive ==== Transitive verbs can take the prefix ''(f)a(q)'', which makes them 'reflexive'. This can have reciprocal or reflexive meaning: :''Sesu-sa aq-enxa'' - my sister is eating herself (sister-PERSON REFL<sup>-1</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>) :''Sesu-f-a aq-enxa'' - my two sisters are eating each other (sister-DUAL-PERSON REFL<sup>-1</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>) === Aspect === All verbs carry inflection for aspect (perfective or imperfective). This is the first suffix slot, marked in glosses by a superscript <sup>1</sup>. In monopartite verbs, this is accomplished by the addition of a suffix. ==== Perfective aspect ==== The Perfective aspect implies a single action, complete and independent of any other action and is formed by (e)nxa (the /e/ assimilates to a preceding vowel and causes lenition of /t/ to /s/ and /p/ to /f/ in preceding consonants). For example: : ''Sesu-sa te-ta-nxa'' - I saw/see my sister at one point (sister-PERSON ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) The perfective does not imply any kind of past tense, and can be used in the future for any distinct single action: : ''Sesu-sa patangqa te-ta-nxa'' - I will see my sister tomorrow (sister-PERSON tomorrow ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) ==== Imperfective aspect ==== The Imperfective aspect implies continuous or repeated action. It is formed with a null morpheme in the vast majority of verbs, although some verbs take an epenthetic ''-e'' when other suffixes are not present. : ''Sesu-sa te-ta'' - I'm currently seeing my sister/I see my sister frequently (sister.TOPIC-PERSON ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>) : ''Sesu-sa pangxu-fa te-ta'' - I used to see my sister/I was seeing my sister last year (sister.TOPIC-PERSONAL last.year-TEMP ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>) === Mood === All verbs also carry inflection for mood. This is the second suffix slot, marked in glosses by a superscript <sup>2</sup>. There are four moods distinguished in Tsakxa: ==== Indicative ==== The Indicative mood describes actions that definitely have happened, will happen or are happening within the speaker's knowledge. It is marked by a null morpheme (shown here with -ø but not marked in the actual written language). : ''Kangqa se-ta-nxa'' - I saw the beast (beast ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) It is also used for imperatives in almost all verbs: : ''Bashung uʔ-kxa se-tashet-enxa!'' - Read the book! (book 2ps-ERG ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-read<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) Some verbs, however, have their own distinct imperative root: : ''Bashung uʔ-kxa se-sang-anxa!'' - Look at the book! (book 2ps-ERG ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) ==== Subjunctive ==== The Subjunctive or Modal mood describes actions that may or may not have happened and that the speaker feels strongly about. It is marked by a suffixed ''-(a)s(e)'': : ''As-aʔ te-utshu-se'' - I hope he's dying somewhere (FOCUS-3ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-die<sup>0</sup>-SUBJ<sup>2</sup>) It is also used for 'if I were' sentences: : ''A-su te-pesh-as(e)'' - if I were a rich man (FOCUS-1ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-rich<sup>0</sup>-SUBJ<sup>2</sup>) ==== Dubitative ==== The Dubitative mood describes actions devoid of emotional content that the speaker wishes to distance themselves from - primarily reported speech. It is also used for open questions. It is formed with the suffix ''-(a)l(e)'': : ''As-aʔ te-anu-pesh-ale'' - (FOCUS-3ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-UNCERT<sup>-2</sup>-rich<sup>0</sup>-DUB<sup>2</sup>) - He's supposedly rich ==== Interrogative ==== The Interrogative is used to ask yes or no questions. It is formed with the suffix ''-(e)f(e)'': : ''As-uʔ u-wes-enxa-fe?'' - Will you eat? (2ps-TOPIC GEN<sup>-1</sup>-eat<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>-INTER<sup>2</sup>) == Bipartite verbs == Bipartite verbs have twin stems and are mostly verbs of motion or auxiliaries. It is believed that, originally, all Tsakxa verbs were bipartite, and exactly which verbs fall under this classification varies by dialect (e.g. West Mountain Tsakxa ''wa-ak'', Valley Tsakxa ''wak'', 'go'). Bipartite verbs incorporate direct objects and locatives and take some inflection on each stem. They may take up to five affixes. For example: :{|class="wikitable" |- |colspan="11" | <center>'''''Petukal anuwawa Efanakxa nak-u'''''</center> |- | || || '''evidentiality''' <small>(-1)</small> || '''first stem''' <small>(0)</small> || '''aspect''' <small>(1)</small> ||'''mood''' <small>(2)</small> || || || '''agreement''' <small>(3)</small> || '''second stem''' <small>(0)</small> || '''suffix''' <small>(+1)</small> |- | ''Petuka'' || ''-ø'' || ''atu-'' || ''wa'' || ''-wa'' || ''-s'' || ''Efan'' || ''-akxa'' || ''ta-'' || ''ak'' || ''-u'' |- | Saint Petersburg || -FOCUS || CONTFACT- || go || ~IMPERF || -SUBJ || Ivan || -ERG || LAT[ANIM]- || go || =PERS |- |colspan="11" | <center>Were Ivan on his way to Saint Petersburg (a place we've just been discussing) (where I live or am presently) (but he isn't)</center> |} === Evidentiality === Evidentiality (glossed with a superscript <sup>-1</sup>) is formed using exactly the same prefixes as in monopartite verbs. The prefixes attach to the first stem: : ''A-su anu-tas-tas-el ta-ma'' - (I think that) he's looking at me (1ps-TOPIC NONCERT<sup>-1</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>-IMPERF<sup>1</sup>-DUB<sup>2</sup> LOC[ANIM]<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) : ''A-su tas-tas-el ta-ma'' - (I am certain that) he's looking at me (1ps-TOPIC CERT<sup>-1</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>~IMPERF<sup>1</sup> LAT<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) === First stem === The first stem (glossed with a superscript <sup>0</sup>) is the second element of the verbal complex: : ''A-su anu-tas-tas ta-ma'' - He's looking at me (1ps-TOPIC NONCERT<sup>-1</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>~IMPERF<sup>1</sup> LOC[ANIM]<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) === Aspect === In bipartite verbs, the perfect is formed by the bare stem, whilst the imperfect is formed by reduplication of the second syllable of the first part of the stem. Aspect is glossed with a superscript <sup>1</sup>. : ''Man tas-ø-el sa-ma?'' - What did you look at? (what-TOPIC look<sup>0</sup>~PERF<sup>1</sup>-DUB<sup>2</sup> LOC[INANIM]<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) : ''Man tas-tas-el sa-ma?'' - What are you looking at? (what-TOPIC look<sup>0</sup>-IMPERF<sup>1</sup>-DUB<sup>2</sup> LOC[INANIM]<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) === Mood === Mood (glossed with a superscript <sup>2</sup>) is formed using exactly the same suffixes as monopartite verbs. In bipartite verbs the suffixes attach to the first stem: : ''Man-ø tas-tas-el sa-ma?'' - What are you looking at? (what-TOPIC look<sup>0</sup>-IMPERF<sup>1</sup>-DUB<sup>2</sup> LOC[INANIM]<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) : ''As-uʔ tas-tas-as ta-ma'' - If I were looking at you (2ps-TOPIC look-IMPERF<sup>1</sup>-SUBJ<sup>2</sup> LOC[INANIM]<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) === Incorporation of arguments === All arguments other than the dominant, or 'topical', argument are usually placed between the two stems (that is, the first stem follows the dominant argument directly, and the second stem takes the verb's usual position at the end of the utterance). : ''Mosaqan wa-f uʔ-akxa ta-ak?'' - Did you go to Moscow? (Moscow-TOPIC go<sup>0</sup>-INTER<sup>2</sup> 2ps-ERG LAT[ANIM]<sup>3</sup>-go<sup>0</sup>) Not only objects, but clauses can be incorporated: : ''As-aʔ, te-f nxa-nxa aʔ-kxa sa?'' - Does he think that I cooked it? (3ps think<sup>0</sup>-INTER<sup>2</sup> cook-PERF<sup>1</sup> 1ps-ERG think<sup>0</sup>) === Agreement === Agreement is with the topic or focus, as in monopartite verbs. However, in bipartite verbs the agreement prefix (glossed with a <sup>3</sup>) attaches to the second stem (the only one of the 'true affixes' to do so): : ''Petukal as-as-ef ta-aq?'' - Are you walking to Saint Petersburg? (Saint.Petersburg walk<sup>0</sup>~IMPERF<sup>1</sup>-INTER<sup>2</sup>LAT[ANIM]<sup>3</sup>-walk<sup>0</sup>) === Second stem === The second stem (glossed with a superscript <sup>0</sup>) is the second-to-last element of the verbal complex, following the agreement prefix and preceding the personal suffix: : ''A-su anu-tas-tas-el ta-ma'' - (I think that) he's looking at me (2ps-TOPIC NONCERT<sup>-1</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>-IMPERF<sup>1</sup>-DUB<sup>2</sup> LOC<sup>3</sup>-look<sup>0</sup>) == Irregular verbs == There are a small number of irregular verbs in Tsakxa. === Copula === In order to convey 'to be (a noun or adjective)', the noun or adjective concerned is simply treated as a verbal root. The 'subject' is always in the absolutive: : ''A-su te-mama'' - I am a person (1ps AB[ANIM]S<sup>-3</sup>-person<sup>0</sup>) : ''A-su te-wa'' - I am young (1ps ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-young<sup>0</sup>) : ''A-su aʔ-uwa-ta te-wa-sh'' - I am as young as them (1ps 3ps-COM ABS[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-young-COMP<sup>0</sup>) === To be (locative) === There is a locative copula in Tsakxa. It is defective because it can only have a locative as its focus and can only take the imperfect: : ''Mosaqan sewa qunxu-t-angxa ta-f'' - there are many pretty girls in Moscow (and I've seen them) - (Moscow girl pretty-PLU-GENER LOC[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-be<sup>0</sup>) The verb has three stems used for the different evidentialities, ''-f-'' (certain), ''-ya-'' (uncertain), ''-s'' (contrafactual): : ''Mosaqan sewa tunxa qunxu-ngxa-qa ta-ya'' - it's said there are many pretty girls in Moscow (Moscow girl many pretty-PAUC-DAT LOC[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-be[NONCERT]<sup>0</sup>) : ''Mosaqan sewa qunxu-ngxa ta-s'' - there are not many pretty girls in Moscow (Moscow girl pretty-PAUC LOC[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-be[CONTRAFACT]<sup>0</sup>) The locative copula is used in the possessive construction, with the subject of 'to have' in English expressed with the comitative: : ''Sesu qunxu-ngxa Nunu-ta tunxa qa-f'' - Nunu has many beautiful sisters (whom I've seen with my own eyes) (sister pretty-GENERIC Nunu-COMIT many DAT[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-be<sup>0</sup>) === To give === The verb 'to give', given by Dawkins in citation form as ''la'', is anomalous because it can be argued to conjugate for person. The verb has three distinct stems, ''-la-'' (first person), ''-u-'' (second person), and ''-ra-'' (third person). The verb agrees with the indirect object: : ''Tu-sa qa-ra-nxa'' - it was given to my brother (brother-PERSON DAT[ANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-give[3p]<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) : ''Tu-sa la-nxa'' - it was given to me by my brother (brother-PERSON give[1p]<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) : ''Tu-sa u-nxa'' - it was given to you by my brother (brother-PERSON give[2p]<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) == Adverbs == Adverbs are identical to adjectives in form and usually appear just before the verbal complex: : ''waspa-p wen yayu unqu-yuyut'' - meat is being cut quickly in that tent (tent-that meat fast INESS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-cut<sup>0</sup>) They may be compared: : ''a-su wen u-wa-ta yayu-sh nas-u yuyut'' - I can cut meat as quickly as you (1ps meat 2pp-COM fast-EQUAT can<sup>0</sup>-CONJ<sup>3</sup> cut<sup>0</sup>) Comparison with verbal complexes is identical to the process by which Tsakxa subordinates adverbial constructions: : ''wen u-wa-kxa aʔ-em enxa-ta yayu-ya su-kxa nas-u se-yuyut'' - I can cut meat faster than you eat it (meat 2pp-ERG 3ps-TOPIC eat<sup>0</sup>-COMIT<sup>6</sup> fast-COMP 1ps-ERG ABS[INANIM]-can<sup>0</sup>-CONJ<sup>3</sup> ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>-cut<sup>0</sup> [[Category:Tsakxa]] Mordvinic 8425 58861 2011-01-11T22:07:47Z Tropylium 756 /* Development from Proto-Uralic */ y > u?

The island is approximately 70,000 square miles in size, covered by mountains, forests of firs, and glaciers. === Describe the climate your society deals with. How severe are their seasons? === Cold. In the summers it raises to a lovely 15 F where in winters it can drop as low as -70 F. Average temperatures are between -30 and -10 F. It snows year-round on the southern half, while the northern edge is actually too dry for snow to occur. === What kinds of natural disasters has this society gotten used to? === Blizzards, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes. The regular earthquakes and eruptions often reach their nearest neighbors, the Coarghydh. Thus they call the island of Meradion "Dreoghendr" - The Door to Hell. === What are the most commonly-grown foods? === A fruit called Burode. It's soft like a peach but it grows to the size of your head. It only grows natively in the tropics (native name Bhoqa). The Agyon grow it by incubation, though not for their own consumption. === What are the most commonly-eaten meats? === The Agyon are obligate carnivores, so the plants grown and harvested are not for their own consumption. Instead they are used to feed the Rondetsunda (Coarghydh: Ygmakl) which is a giant polar-bear like creature that terrorizes human settlements on the main continent, but the variant kept by the Agyon has been bred into more of a giant digestion machine. Sea food is also common, as well as the occasional whale or seal. === What foods are considered exotic or expensive? === Peppers used for seasoning. The Agyon's incubation methods do not grow them well so the good ones have to be imported. === What forms of alcohol are common? Rare? === Agyon do not generally drink alcohol. More common are teas. The most popular is Damodhen, rich with an earthy, fiery flavor. Sugary cocoa from the south is rarer but also generally enjoyed, while the most expensive drink available is called Somen, similar to Absinthe. === Is there usually enough food and water for the population? === Yes. The Agyon's food industry is the most sophisticated and capital-rich on Dinyoran. === What is this place's most abundant resource? === Gold, Silver, and Iron. The crust is also especially aluminum-rich however there are problems with extracting it. === What is its most valuable resource? === A black, lustrous metal they call Zande. It is popular for decorative uses and it also is important catalyst in the incubation process. === What resource is it most lacking? === Usable land. The Agyon's population is very small but even so it is pretty crowded. The majority of their homeland is covered in ice sheets. They also have problems with regulating their body temperature as their internal metabolisms produce too much heat: They need to be in a cold environment to cool off. This makes it a problem to expand southward. === How do people travel from one place to another? === Flying. Average Agyon can fly at a top speed of 150 mph. Strong fliers can reach 180. === Are the borders secure? In what way? === Cold climate + Treacherous waters separating it from the mainland = Natural defenses. There's also the fact that the Agyon are huge (but quite peaceful and gentle unless provoked) "beasts" who could rip you in half quite easily, To top it all off, the neighbors believe the place is the entrance to the underworld so they're scared shitless of it. To sum it all up, you'd have to be completely insane, if not outright suicidal, to try to invade this place. Not to say nobody has ever tried: General Dozenuioc Imacthua Gareth, having accomplished no major military victories and on the eve of being rotated out of office, decided that launching a successful attack on hell itself would win him a favorable spot in the history books. After (understandably) having problems with getting troops on board with this, he managed to fill up 5 ships and set off. One hit an iceberg. One went down in a storm. The remaining 3 all wrecked upon the rocks of the southern coast (Meradion has no suitable harbors) and were stranded. Two days later the wreckage was found by a small group of 3 Agyon. Gareth and a small group of men decided to attack the "demons." They were slaughtered within minutes. Some others fled for their lives and dove into the water (where they presumably froze to death). The rest surrendered and expected the worst. They were forgiven and taken home. About 20 years later, one of Gareth's successors and subordinates (who was smart enough not to come along the first time), General Zuantych Moacteang Reaost, decided he'd try again. (Where his previous good judgment went I guess we'll never know!) This time he brought 20 ships and lost not a single one in the journey over. Unfortunately due to a navigation problem they landed on the North side of the island and all froze to death. *sigh* === How many people live here? === 'Bout 60,000. === Where in this place to they congregate? === Several population centers (though they aren't quite "cities") are on the southern coast. === What part of this place do they avoid? Why? === The northern ice sheets for obvious reasons as there's really nothing out there. The volcanoes and hot earthquake zones are rarely built on but are popularly traveled to for the hot springs. === What are the most common domesticated animals here? And what are they domesticated for? === Rondetsunda for food, as well as small penguins and snow leopards (Tsandaion and Tyosone) as pets. === What are the most common wild animals? === Not many animals out there on the tundra. You see elk, wild horses, as well as wild variants of the Rondetsunda, penguins, snow leopards, and arctic foxes kept as pets. You also see walruses come up onto the beaches from time to time. There are also wild Drakes out and about though not as many as there are on the mainland. The Agyon consider drakes pests. (Drakes are basically smaller dragons, though aside from the basic shape their physical forms hold a lot of differences between the Agyon, such as frills and odd colors and designs the Agyon lack. Drakes are also non-sentient and lack the ability to transform.) === Which animals are likely to be pets? Which ones won't be? === Penguins, Snow Leopards, and occasionally Arctic Foxes. Also, once in a great while an Agyon may keep a "pet" human. The designation of "pet" isn't how the human or the "owner" view it but it is how the relationship is viewed by the other Agyon. == Questions of Time == === How far back does this society's written history go? === Approximately 150,000 years but this is really stretching the definition: Almost all of the writings still around are from the past 11,000 years. Only a few written fragments from that ancient past are still around, and it wouldn't be completely wrong to consider the authors of another civilization entirely. However the Agyon consider Meradion to still be this ancient civilization. === How far back do its people believe it goes? === Back to the beginning of time itself. === What is the worst disaster they believe they've faced? === They were created by the goddess Gyorozi, and for a long time lived with her and inhabited the whole planet. But everything changed when another god, Eamina, came around and took the planet for himself, changing it into its (mostly) current state. Meradion was the only place left untouched. Eamina ruled over the world for a long time until he was eventually defeated by the heroine Deomaia. === What was the best thing that every happened to them? === They've been doing pretty well since then. === What in their past makes them feel ashamed? === It's important to note the Agyon do not really have a collective mentality. Agyon have done some nasty things in the past. One example is Silaion's infamous raid of Zenithar. But the shame of this act is on Silaion, not on the rest of the species. (Zenithar is the Agyon name for a human-populated city with relatively close proximity to Meradion. Silaion and a few of her friends decided to raid the merchant ships there and make off with the loot. This was one of the big events that cemented the human mentality of Agyons as being demonic monsters.) === What in their past makes them proud? === Just as bad acts bring no shame upon the species, good acts bring no glory. Every person should be judged by their own merits, not by the merits of their associates. === What are they afraid of happening again? === Nothing that all of them are afraid of in particular, === What are they hoping will happen? Do they think it likely? === They all have different plans for the future. === What do they assume the future will hold? === Like I said. All of them have different conceptions. Listing them all would take all day. === How has this society changed? Do its current members realize this? === Thanks to farming and cattle-raising methods the population now is actually larger than it's ever been. None of them would believe that though. They have the unfortunate idea stuck in their heads that the "creation age" was some unreachable glory. === What are the most popular stories about the past? === The story of Lyetomane, who invented steam power but only after dealing with a lot of her contemporaries trying to shut her down, never gets old. === Who in the past is the greatest hero? The worst villain? === Already said. === Do people think the present better or worse than the past? === Worse. Like I said, weird "Golden Age" fetish going on here. === Do people believe the future will be better or worse than the present or past? === Uncertain. == Questions of Sex and Family == === How many spouses may a man or woman have? === A female may have as many males as she likes, but a man cannot have a second mate unless his first one agrees with the arrangement, which is very rare. === Who decides on a marriage? === Whoever wants to be together. There really isn't a concept of "marriage." Relationships freely are made and broken apart, but only lasting ones are desired. === Can a marriage end in divorce? How? === Two mates can simply break up whenever they want, though this is considered a negative thing. If they don't like each other enough to stay together they showed poor judgment in being together in the first place. === Who usually takes custody of children if a marriage ends for some reason? === The mother. === How is adultery defined? What (if any) is the punishment? Who decides? === Sex with someone who is not your mate. The mate may choose to end the relationship if they wish but other than that there is no punishment. === How are families named?(g) What happens to orphans? === An Agyon has their own name (given by their mother) as well as the name of their mother, and their mother's mother, for as far back as the genealogies can trace. For practical reasons usually the given name is the only one used, with possibly the mother's name for disambiguation, and not even having the full name memorized is a normal thing. Orphans basically never happen, but I guess if it did happen the child would be expected to take care of themselves. === How are boy and girl children treated differently? === Girls are the ones who are invested in. The boys are kinda just there. === Are premarital relations allowed? === All relations are premarital. === How does your society define incest? Rape? How do people react to these? === Incest is generally defined as anyone who shares 2 mothers up the chain (that is, siblings and first cousins, as well as parents and children), but 3 is a little iffy. Practicing incest gets you funny looks but it won't get you stoned or anything. Male on female rape just doesn't happen for physiological reasons, as females grow to be up to 6 times the size of the males. If an Agyon woman claimed it happened nobody would probably believe her. Female on male rape does happen, and the male is expected to appreciate it. === What, if anything, is considered a good marriage gift? === No marriage. === What secret vice is believed to be widely practiced? === None. A Lady doesn't do such things! === What secret vice actually is practiced? === Agyon women have insane expectations of modesty and behavior for each other. As such these feelings get kindof... repressed. I'll just leave it at that. === What sexual habits are widely believed common among foreigners? === A Lady doesn't make assumptions about other people's personal lives. === How do people react to homosexuality? === F<->F? Acceptable. M<->M? Depends on what their mates think about it. If the males don't have mates then they're seen as worthless. A woman can be judged by her own merits, men don't have that luxury. Quite hypocritical. === How do the genders dress? === As previously stated, the women have very odd standards. It's not acceptable for a woman to show any part of her skin other than her head to anyone other than one of her mates. Even her neck and hands. Leathers and furs are standard attire, but those more well-to-do may have silks for formal occasions as well. But nothing revealing. Men's attire is more relaxed, as long as they don't embarrass their mate. === Is prostitution legal? How are prostitutes viewed? Is this accurate? === A Lady doesn't do such things. Male prostitution however is just fine. === What professions or activities are considered masculine? === Anything the females don't want to do. === What professions or activities are viewed as feminine? === Pretty much anything fun, desirable, or intensive like building construction, architecture, and art. Leave the necessary but menial tasks to the men. === What inanimate or sexless things are considered male or female? === Inanimate things are generally female. === What is the biggest sexual taboo? === A Lady doesn't think about such things. === Does this society connect the ideas of marriage with love? === Yep. === What does this society mean by the word "virgin" and how important it it? === A female who cannot yet produce eggs. == Questions of Manners == === Who speaks first at a formal gathering? === The host. === What kinds of gifts are considered in extremely bad taste? === Pretty much the only acceptable gifts are extravagant clothes and jewelry. Giving someone something more practical implies you don't think they're capable of taking care of themselves. The only exception is if the practical item is also something extravagantly made, like an artfully-crafted clock. === How do younger adults address their elders? === The same as they would address someone of their own age and position. === What colors are associated with power? With virtue? With death? === Black is associated with love and feeling; White with power and strength. === If two men get into a fight, how is this supposed to be resolved? === A female steps in to break them up. === If two women get into a fight, how should that be resolved? === Ladies don't do such things. If it does happen then everyone else around tries to break them up. To resort to brute force to solve your problems makes you no better than an animal. === When is it rude to laugh at something funny? === Whenever the speaker wasn't trying to be funny. The Agyon love a good joke so sometimes this can be really hard to tell. If everyone else laughs though it is okay. === What kinds of questions cannot be asked in public? In private? At all? === Personal questions are frowned upon in all cases, but sometimes it is understood that the person asking just needs to know for whatever reason. In public it is considered rude to discuss business matters. === How do people demonstrate grief? === They all react in different ways. Agyon have an average lifespan of about 3000 years, and can potentially live much longer. For an Agyon to die at all is an incredibly rare event. So when it happens nobody really knows what to do. Some go into a deep sadness and refuse to leave their home for months. Others are overcome with anger. And others still just deny it happened at all. === What does this society do with their corpses? === Cremation. === What kinds of jewelry do people wear? And when? === Gold and silver rings and earrings are an everyday thing. For a more formal occasion pendants and other pieces of jewelry made of Zande and gemstones may be worn. A Lady never wearing any jewelry is a sign of not being able to take care of herself; A Lady wearing too much is desperate for attention. === Who inherits property? Titles? Position? === Agyon do not normally plan to die. The previous holder may choose to designate a person to leave their things with, but most of the time when it happens it is unexpected and no such plans were made. === What happens to those suffering from extreme mental illness? === So long as they aren't a burden on anyone else they're left alone. Those who cause trouble are treated no differently from any other. === What are the most popular games? How important are they? === Anything involving logic. Arathen (similar to Go) is the most popular. A skilled Arathen player is highly respected. === What parts of the body are routinely covered? === In females, all of them except the face. === How private are bodily functions like bathing or defecating? === Extremely private. === How do people react to physical deformity? === They most often treat them as diseased. === When and how does someone go from child to adult? === Children leave their mother's care at a very young age compared to humans, at around the age of 40 to 60. (Remember, Agyon live for thousands of years.) == Questions of Faith == === Is there a formal clergy? How are they organized? === === What do people believe happens to them after death? How, if at all, can they influence this? === === What happens to those who disagree with the majority on questions of religion? === === Are there any particular places considered special or holy?

Who does that? === === How do this society's doctors try to treat wounds and sickness? === === Which medical assumtions of this society are wrong? === == Questions of Art == === What are the favorite artforms? === Paint and drawing are popular, but the most popular form of artwork is intricately designed machinery, with all the cogs, springs, and gears exposed. Many devices have uses things on the outside just for show, but if the elegantly-designed machine does something practical that's all the better. === What are the least-favorite? === Music. Especially lyrical music. The delicate, smooth sounds woodwinds and strings are more acceptable but anything like a drum or a guitar is out of the question. They'd absolutely hate rock music. === How respected are artists? === No more and no less than any other profession. They provide a valuable service and those who value their work pay for it. === Do artists require official or unofficial protection? === Nope. Copyright is unheard of among the Agyon. === What kinds of trouble are artists in particular likely to find themselves in? === None in particular. (This isn't really a very good question anyway. Did whoever made this expect every conculture to hate artists like the ancient chinese did?) === How might a very successful artist live? === Same as any other successful person. === What forms of theatre does your society have? === === How naturalistic or stylized is your society's art? === === What shapes are most common in your society's arts, like embroidery or architecture? === === Which artforms get the most and least respect? === === What form does censorship take? === === Who may not be an artist? === === What qualities equal "beauty" in this society? === === What makes a man or woman especially beautiful? === === How do people react to tattoos?

The Arahau language is polysynthetic and typologically active. This is unlike most artificial languages. Each vowel designates a noun, and consonants designate grammatical formants. This system often lets Arahau produce compact speech. Arahau has been found to have similarities with Basque and Nakh-Dagestanian languages. Arahau is a minimal language. It has 26 phonemes (not including diphthongs and triphthongs) and about 100 main root words. Grammar is minimally inflected. The valency of a verb and word order determine case, because it is an active-stative language. Auxiliary formants mark constructions such as questions, negative polarity, and grammatical aspects. Arahau has a system of noun classes. They are marked by vowels (''a'' – the humans, ''u'' – the animals, ''i'' – the plants, ''o'' – the names etc.). Arahau is inspired by natural philosophy and dualism. There are only two grammatical genders, tenses (real and irreal), grammatical numbers, personal pronouns (near and far), grammatical cases (translative case and possessive), parts of speech (the verb and the noun) etc. Arahau uses only the Subject Verb Object (SVO) word order. In 2009 I. Karasev with A. Peredereyev published a literature journal "Asa" (Knowledge). == Alphabet == The alphabet and reading Arahau's alphabet is Latin. It has 27 letters: :'''A''', '''Ä''', '''B''', '''C''', '''D''', '''E''', '''Ë''', '''F''', '''G''', '''H''', '''I''', '''J''', '''K''', '''L''', '''M''', '''N''', '''O''', '''Ö''', '''P''', '''R''', '''S''', '''T''', '''U''', '''Ü''', '''V''', '''Y''', '''Z''' which correspond to 27 sounds. There are ten vowels and seventeen consonants. Each letter corresponds to one phoneme (one precise sound). Pronunciation does not depend on a letter's position in a word. In particular, consonants at the end of a word are never silenced, and vowels do not change. The accent in words varies and falls, as a rule, on a root verb. The pronunciation of practically all letters can be assumed without special preparation (M, N, K, etc.) The pronunciation of others is significant: :'''Ä''' [ʲa], Ö [ʲo], Ü [ʲu] as in German. :'''Y''' [ɨ]. :'''Ë''' [ʲe]. :'''Е''' [e]. :'''H''' [x] the fricative sound [kh]. :'''J''' as in the word 'yard'. :'''С''' – an affricate [ts]. Arahau uses double consonants (geminates), even at the beginning of a word. The structure of words is not uniform: There can be congestions of consonants, both in the beginning, and in the end. The usual construction of a word that consists of a maximal cluster is сссVссс. == Diphthongs == The phonologic system besides 10 vowels includes 10 diphthongs which also as well as vowels designate nouns: :''au, ao, ae, ai, ou, oe, oi, oa, ei, ea'' 10 long diphthongs (triphthongs) serving for formation of plural: :''uau, uao, uae, uai, uou, uoe, uoi, uoa, uei, uea'' And four labial diphthongs which are facultative and serve for specification of sense: :''ua, uo, ue, ui''. == Diacritic == Diacritic (''á, é, í, ó, ú, ý'') serves for a designation of the intense (guttural) vowels at formation of categories of tense in verbs. Letters (''ă, ŏ'') designate the unessential vowels inserted for correction of harmony. And letters (''â, ê, î, ô, û'') are usually used in dictionaries for marks of roots and also are facultative. == Examples == ''Lord's Prayer :Our Father in heaven, :hallowed be your name, :your kingdom come, :your will be done, :on earth as in heaven. :Give us today our daily bread. :Forgive us our sins :as we forgive those who sin against us. :Save us from the time of trial :and deliver us from evil. :For the kingdom, the power, :and the glory are yours :now and for ever. Amen.'' :''Ëttange msuohusoer'' :''Msfarfésarkv músgausaskecö'' :''Soisiragsaguastaa coezetlo cosareasguoastaa'' :''Ctaarë’skuoastaa.

He's fantastic! He's incredible! He's... bornfor! No, just kidding. ==Who is bornfor?== Bornfor is Aaron, a 20-something year old hermit who lives somewhere in the southeastern US. <strike>He likes long walks on the beach, sipping Pina coladas...</strike> He's been conlanging since he was a little kid, but only recently (in the past five or six years or so) started writing things down. Chronologically speaking that's a little over a fourth of his lifetime ago, so imagine all the things he lost in the time before he started writing things down! ==What does bornfor know?== Though he would some day very much like to, Bornfor has never studied linguistics formally. As a result, many of the descriptions of his language(s) are <strike> senseless and hard to follow</strike> both idiomatic and probably confusing to most people. For this he sincerely apologizes. <br> Interestingly enough, though, Aaron has found that creating languages isn't limited to those who know the technical terms for how language works. He's fond of his creation(s), even if he can't always describe them in technical terms. ==What's bornfor do?== <p>Aaron is primarily working on [[Sandic]], the daughter of a language called Weyr (no relation to the books about dragon-riders!) that he created way back in 2003 or 2004. He does also from time to time work on a couple of side projects like Baljek ('sister language?' to Sandic) and Cat Sign [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n45DKOqI1D4] (language which developed into a written lingua-franca over his con-continent). On Frathwiki, Aaron is guilty for the mess that is the page about [[Sandic]]. ==Talk to/observe the bornfor== *'''here:''' http://wytn-awake.blogspot.com/ (General conlang/world/conwhatever blog) *'''here:''' http://ostonejemohni.blogspot.com/ (Word of the day blog (the name of which has been a lie for some time now..

What kinds of supernatural === events/beings do people fear? == Questions of Government == === Who decides whether someone has broken a law? How? === A military judge decides the fate of the accused. === What kinds of punishments are meted out? By whom? Why? === It depends on the crime. Murderers and traitors are beheaded. Other criminals will probably be shipped off the labor camps in the colonies. === How are new laws created or old ones changed? === By ''Yydghoanc Dharindal'', the Grand Council. This is a body of councilmen (Dharingen) which votes to pass resolutions and has the supreme legislative power. Dharingen are elected into their positions on a cycle of every 6 years. Repeat terms are not allowed. New resolutions must be introduced by the High Councilman (Dharingen Lungar), who is elected at the beginning of every 6 year cycle by a vote of the Dharingen. === Is there some form of clemency or pardon? What is involved? === No. Disturbing the People's Peace cannot be forgiven. === Who has the right to give orders, and why? === Law enforcement is handled by the military, which is separate from the legislature. The General is chosen by the High Councilman, and the chosen general chooses all of their subordinate officers. Generals keep their offices for 14 years, then must leave office and be replaced by a new one. However, with this exception (as well as funding) the military is allowed to do whatever they see fit to improve the Republic's Welfare and to uphold The Law. === What titles do various officials have? === === How are the rules different for officials as opposed to the common person? === The military judges who shall be punished and how. Really it just comes down to their discretion. A commander may choose to attack the legislature if he wishes, but this is not generally done as the legislature determines the military's funding. === How do government officials dress? === === Is the law written down? Who interprets it? === Yes. It's interpreted by the enforcers. === Once accused, what recourse does someone have? === A lawyer may be hired to defend them before a judge, but this is not generally successful. If you don't have the right connections to get yourself out of an accusation, you're screwed. === Is torture allowed? What kinds? === Whatever the military chooses. Genital mutilation is the most common form. === How are people executed? === Beheading. === Who cannot rise to positions of leadership? === Getting elected or chosen for a position generally requires an aristocratic heritage. While it is theoretically possible for a commoner to gain power, you always see the same names in Government. === Is bribery allowed? Under what circumstances? === It's expected. Officers will often falsely accuse people in order to extract bribes from them. === What makes someone a bad ruler in this society? What can be done about it? === The Coarghydh do not expect any ruler to be good. They get in, grab as much money and privileges for themselves as they can, then clock out. Their only concern is to make sure the military doesn't come breaking down their door. === What are the most common or dangerous forms of criminal? === The law enforcement themselves. == Questions of War == === Who declares war? === The head officers of the army. === Who has the power to declare conditions of peace? === Same. === What happens to prisoners taken in battle? === Executed, or sent away to the labor camps. === What form of warfare does this society use? === Enjoying large troop sizes, the Coarghydh military uses a lovely emulation of Stalin's strategy. === Who are the Elite warriors? What distinguishes them? === The officers, if that counts. They don't dirty themselves by going into combat. Pretty much the only people to see the front lines are the conscripts. === How does someone get command of troops? === Get chosen to be an officer. === Where do the loyalties of military units lie? === With their own interests. Most of them don't even want to be fighting. === Are there professional soldiers? Do they make up the bulk of the military? === There are hired mercenaries, but the bulk is made up of conscripts. === Has this society ever attacked another? Do they want to? What would make them do so? === Yes. The Coarghydh has conquered four empires of their own size, and many smaller indigenous peoples. It is a fantasy of the officers to launch a successful invasion of Dreoghendr. (The door to Hell, known to the Agyon as Meradion. The Coarghydh think the Agyon are demons, mostly because they look kinda like much bigger, smarter Drakes.) === Who are their enemies? Who's winning? === The main threat to the common folk is the wildlife. Drakes are small, unintelligent dragons standing about 7 feet tall with a 30-foot wingspan. They hunt in packs and will gladly attack human settlements. There's also the Imbeaonl, a large-bear like creature which will also raid the villages. Unless you live in one of the big cities the military is useless for dealing with them. In rural communities every adult needs to be reasonably skilled with a weapon to fight off the regular attacks, which makes them popular choices for conscription. === What do soldiers do when there's no war? === Harass the citizenry. == Questions of Education == === Does this society have its own language? Its own writing? === === How common is literacy? How is literacy viewed? === === What form and value are books? === === Who teaches others? How do they teach? === === Who decides who learns to read or write?(f) Who teaches professions, like carpenter or scribe? === === Are foreigners ever brought in to teach new skills? Who does that? === === How do this society's doctors try to treat wounds and sickness? === === Which medical assumtions of this society are wrong? === == Questions of Art == === What are the favorite artforms? === === What are the least-favorite? === === How respected are artists? === === Do artists require official or unofficial protection? === === What kinds of trouble are artists in particular likely to find themselves in? === === How might a very successful artist live? === === What forms of theatre does your society have? === === How naturalistic or stylized is your society's art? === === What shapes are most common in your society's arts, like embroidery or architecture? === === Which artforms get the most and least respect? === === What form does censorship take? === === Who may not be an artist? === === What qualities equal "beauty" in this society? === === What makes a man or woman especially beautiful? === === How do people react to tattoos? Piercings? Facial hair? Make-up? === == Questions of sex and marriage == === Is sex confined to marriage? === === Or, is it supposed to be? What constitutes aberrant behavior? === === Is there anything about this culture or religion in that culture that specifically addresses sexual conduct? === === Are there laws about it? What about prostitution? === === How old should someone be in your culture to be having sex? === === What is considered too great a difference in age for a couple? === === Do relationships allow multiple partners? === === Should sex be a one-to-one experience? Or are groups allowed? === === And, of course, what about homosexuality? Is it frowned on? Encouraged? === == Questions of death and burial == === What is their understanding of death and dying? === === Do they cremate their dead? Or, how are dead bodies disposed of? === === Is the family responsible for the body? === === What part do the priests play? === === Are there cemeteries at all? === === Or, does everyone have a crypt in back with all the relatives in it? === === Do people visit the dead? If so, how often and why? === == Questions of suicide == === What do people in this culture think about suicide? === === Is it the greatest sin one can commit? Or is it a sin at all? === === Is it the great and last comfort of a tormented soul? === === Is it worse than murder? === == Questions of Law, Justice and Police == === Is there a civilian police force, or is law enforcement the province of the military? === Military. === Is the police force a nationalised one, or are there multiple regional forces? === Nationalized. === How "military" are they? Are they usually/ever armed? === Always. Every city street corner has at least one soldier posted at all times. === What is the extent of their authority? Can they shoot you? Can they use magic? Can they torture or otherwise force a confession? Can they use telepathy? === Shooting? Yes. Torture? Also yes. === Are there individuals or groups who are above the law? === Pretty much every member of Government. They only have to answer to their superiors. === Is there a secret police? === Yeah, but they aren't so secret. === What is the role of police informants, if any? === Bringing the police information leading to the arrest and conviction of a criminal is given a large monetary reward, and any crimes committed in obtaining this information are forgiven. You're not only allowed to, but are encouraged to break into your neighbor's houses to see if they're doing anything illegal. Attidian 8468 58787 2010-12-30T21:18:45Z WeepingElf 43 '''Attidian''' is a conlang vignette by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]] which represents an extinct language once spoken in the [[League of Lost Languages]] conworld. The corpus of the language consists of just one inscription: HIRCVLVA LAFANIANVA MAN DARAF FAL SILBIAS ISAZARIAS<br> HERCVLES LAFANIVS ME DEDIT TIBI IVNO STELLIFEX The meaning of the second line, which is in Latin, is "Hercules Lafanius gave me to you, Juno the Starmaker", and the first line in an unknown language almost certainly means the same. Most likely, Attidian is a [[Hesperic]] language, as all words in the Attidian inscription appear to have cognates in other, better-known Hesperic languages such as [[Old Albic]]. ==External link== * [http://www.joerg-rhiemeier.de/Conlang/attidian.html Attidian] [[Category:Conlangs]] [[Category:LLL]] File:Kala nm 4.PNG 8469 57333 2010-11-04T16:03:07Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] [[Category:Moya]] [[User:Qang|~Qang / Sano~]] Category:Urat 8470 57354 2010-11-08T21:48:50Z Calculator Ftvb 1373 mk Urat.

In the Fourth Age,it is ''de jure'' a part of the Kingdom of Coedór and some extensions might even stretch into [[Beringion]], but ''de facto'' is not populated by any Coër and thus not controlled by Coedór. In the Fifth Age the territory of the forest is considered to be under the throne of [[High Tarmanion|High]] and [[Low Tarmanion]]. ==Etymology== The name Curaior is the [[Longrimol]] term for the forest. It is, however, a borrowing from [[Nagatol]] ''curaior'', a direct descendant of [[Quebut]] '''*GÚRAHJÁRAH''', a compound meaning "Death forest". Normal (analogical) evolution should have given Nagatol ''*curior'': ''cur'' (death) from Quebut '''*GÚRAH''' and ''ior'' (forest) from Quebut '''*JÁRAH'''. So likewise, the Longrim term should've been ''gúrjar''. It must be noted, however, that the term ''Curaior'' originally didn't refer to this forest; it was rather a hypothetical place in the Cosmology of Elves. ==Appearances in mythology== The forest, called ''Enyasha'' (The Silent) in [[Arazi Metsa|Arazi]], appears numerous times in the Asatic mythology as a dreadful place, ruled by the spirits of the Dead. In the poem ''Saghur the Devil'', a demon ''Saghur'', after fulfilling his revenge, goes for a few month to Curaior to finally understand that he must die in the Sea in order to calm his conscience and repay for his misdeeds. ==Appearances in history== The forest is noted in Magorion and other machoric states because a whole battalion got lost when crossing the forest on their way from Magorion to Coedór in the time of the Magorionic War. ==Other names== * ''Enyasha'' [ɛɲ'jaʃa] for the Aras ** Variants ''Inyasha'' [ɪɲ'aʃa] and ''Éyaiçə'' [ɛ:'jaɪçə] for the Shanida and Böcréthi; * ''Cadauceittie'' [ka.dɔ.sɛtʲ] for the Beringians; ** The same word borrowed as ''Karosétye'' [kaɾə'sɛc] for the Cupayle; ==Inspiration== # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigahara Aokigahara] forest in Japan.

The Raja of Jammu, Jit Singh, was expelled and found refuge in Rajputana. *Ranjit Deo's grandnephew, [[Wikipedia:Gulab Singh|Gulab Singh]], subsequently sought service at the court of Ranjit Singh and distinguished himself in the conquest of the Kashmir Valley in 1819, which ended a thousand years of rule by the Mughal Empire. For his services, he was created the first Raja of Jammu in 1820, beginning the [[Wikipedia:Dogra|Dogra]] Dynasty. Gulab Singh soon captured Kashmir and the Buddhist kingdoms of Ladakh and Baltistan. *After the death of Raja Ranjit Singh, Raja Gulab Singh asserted his independence and is thus the founder of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. In 1846, to emphasize his break from the Sikh R.S., Gulab Singh embraced the Hindu faith. *After Gulab Singh's death in 1857, his son, [[Wikipedia:Ranbir Singh|Ranbir Singh]], added the emirates of Astore, Hunza-Nagar, and Gilgit to the rajadom. *Ranbir Singh was succeeded by his son [[Wikipedia:Partab Singh of Kashmir|Pratap Singh]] (1848-1925), who reigned from 1885 until his death. However, dissatisfied with this situation, Jammu threatened to rebel and secede from the kingdom. In an effort to quell the rising nationalism, Pratap Singh, in 1921, created a dual monarchy. Each nation was set up as sovereign, but joined in a personal union with the Dogra Dynasty. *The ruler is styled His Majesty and bears the regnal titles of Maharaja of the United Maharajadom of Jammu and Kashmir; Raja of the Rajadoms of Jammu, Kashmir, [[Wikipedia:Basholi|Basholi]], and [[Wikipedia:Poonch|Poonch]]; Ra of [[Wikipedia:Astore District|Astore]] and of [[Wikipedia:Gilgit-Baltistan|Gilgit]], and Mir of [[Wikipedia:Hunza (princely state)|Hunza]]-[[Wikipedia:Nagar (princely state)|Nagar]]. *Each nation has its own prime minister, parliament, and judiciary.

Nepal, History of 8499 58609 2010-12-17T01:33:37Z Caeruleancentaur 11 /* The Shah Dynasty */ New info. ===The Kirat Period=== Texts in '''bold''' print are PoD. *Nepal's first recorded or discovered history began with the [[Wikipedia:Kirati|Kirati]]s, who arrived in the 7th or 8th century BCE from the west to the Kathmandu valley. Ther 29 kings ruled for about 1225 years (800 BCE-300 CE). Their first and best-remembered king was Yalambar, who is referenced in the epic [[Wikipedia:Mahabharata|Mahabharata]]. * The first king, Yalambar, laid the foundation of the Kirat dynasty after defeating the last ruler of the Abhir dynasty. When the Kirats occupied the valley, they made Matatirtha their capital. During his reign the kingdom extended to the Tista River in the east and the Trisidi in the west. *During the reign of the seventh king, Jitedasti, [[Wikipedia:Gautama Buddha|Gautama Buddha]] visited the valley with his several disciples. He visited the holy places and preached his religion. Although the Kirats welcomed the Lord Buddha and his disciples, they refused to follow his doctrine,. *During the reign of Sthunko, the 14th king, the Indian Emperor [[Wikipedia:Ashoka|Aśoka]] came to the Kathmandu Valley with his daughter, princess Charumati. During his stay in the valley, he arranged for the marriage of his daughter Charumati to a local prince named Devpal. Prince Devpal and his wife Charumati lived at Chabahil near the Pashupati area. After the death of her husband, Charumati, who later became a nun, built a convent in his memory where she lived and practiced the Lord Buddha's teaching. *During the reign of Jinghri, the 15th king, the religious teaching of the [[Wikipedia:Mahavira|Mahavira]] Jain was being preaching in India. Bhadrabhau, a disciple of the Mahavira Jain, came to Nepal, but Jainism never acquired the popularity of Buddhism in Nepal. *During the reign of Paruka, the 28th king, the Sombanshi ruler attacked his kingdom many times from the west. Although these attacks were repelled, he was forced to move from Gokarna to Shankhamul. *Gasti was the 29th and last king of the Kirat dynasty, a weak ruler who was overthrown by the Sombanshi ruler Nimisha. After their defeat, the Kirats moved to the eastern hills of Nepal and settled down, dividing into three small principalities, Wallokirat to the east of the Katmandu Valley; Majkirat, the central Kirat region; and Pallokirat to the far east of the Kathmandu Valley. ===The Maurya Period=== *One of the earliest confederations of South Asia was that of the [[Wikipedia:Shakya|Śakya]] clan, whose capital was Kapilvastu, Nepal. Siddhartha Gautama (563-483 BCE), who renounced his royalty to lead an ascetic life and came to be known as the Buddha, was born to the Śakya king Sudhodhan, but by 260 BCE, most of northern India and southern Nepal were ruled by the Maurya Empire. *Although not all of Nepal was under Maurya occupation, there is evidence of the influence at least of the Maurya Emperor Aśoka, the legendary Buddhist proselytiser and ruler from 273 BCE to 232 BCE. Aśoka was a visitor to Kathmandu during this period and his daughter married a local prince, further spreading the religion. ===The [[Wikipedia:Licchavi (kingdom)|Licchavi]] Dynasty=== *The documented history of Nepal begins with the Changu Narayan temple inscription of King Manadeva I (c.464-505) of the Lichavi dynasty. The Lichavis are said to have migrated into Nepal from north India around 250. King Anshuverma opened trade routes to Tibet. His daughter, Bhrikuti, married Tibetan ruler Tsrong-tsong Gompo, who was instrumental in spreading the gospel of the Buddha in Tibet and China. *King Narendradeval initiated friendly relations with China and his successors laid the foundations of friendship with India by entering into matrimonial alliances with the Indian royal families. *Lichavi rule spanned a period of about 630 years; the last king was Jayakamadeva. ===The Thakuri Dynasty=== *The Thakuri dynasty was a Rajput dynasty. Many Thakuri kings ruled over the country up to the middle of the 12th century. *Raghava Dev is said to have founded a ruling dynasty in October, 869, when the Lichavi rule came to an end. To commemorate this important event, Raghava Dev started the 'Nepal Era' which began on October 20, 869. *After the death of King Raghava Dev, many Thakuri kings ruled over Nepal up to the middle of the 12th century. *King Gunakama Dev (949-994) built a big wooden house out of a single tree which was called ''Kasthamandup''. From ''Kasthamandup'' is derived the name ''Katamndu''. Gunakama Dev founded the town ofKantipur, today's Kathmandu. *Vijaykama Dev was the last king of this dynasty. After his death, the Thakuri clan of Nuwakot occupied the throne of Nepal. ===The Nuwakot Thakuri Kings=== *Bhasker Dev succeeded Vijayakama Dev, establishing Nuwakot-Thakuri rule in the country. *Shanker Dev was the most illustrious ruler of this dynasty; he ruled from 1067 to 1080. During his reign, the Buddhists wreaked vengeance on the Hindu Brahmins (especially the followers of Shivism) for the harm they had received earlier from Shankaracharya III. Shaner Dev tried to pacify the Brahmins harassed by the Buddhists. ===The Suryabansi Rajput Kings=== *Bam Dev, a descendant of Amshuverma, defeated Shanker Dev in 1080 and suppressed the Nuwakot-Thakuris with the help of the nobles and restored the old Solar Dynasty rule in Nepal for the second time. *Harsha Dev, the successor of Bam Dev, was a weak ruler. There was no unity among the nobles and they asserted themselves in their respective spheres of influence. Taking this opportunity, Nanya Dev, a Karnatak king, invaded Nepal from Simroungarh. He took up residence at Bhadgaon and ruled for some time. *Mukunda Sen, the King of [[Wikipedia:Palpa District|Palpa]], was another invader of the Nepal valley. He plundered and destroyed many houses and looted a huge amount of property. ===The Malla Dynasaty=== *After the fall of the Thakuri dynasty in the 12th century, another dynasty's reign started in Nepal, founded by Arideva or Ari Malla. This dynasty is popularly known as the Malla Dynasty. Over the next two centuries it grew into a large empire before disintegrating into small principalities which became known as the Baise Rajya, i.e., the twenty-two principalities. This was more or less coincidental with the emergence of the Chaubisi Rajya, i.e., the twenty-four principalities. The history of these principalities remains shrouded up until the time when they joined other kingdoms, both large and small, to form the unified Kingdom of Nepal. *Jayasthiti Malla reigned towards the end of the 14th century. Though his rule was rather short, his place among the rulers in the Valley is eminent because of his various social and economic reforms such as the 'Sanskritization' of the Valley people and new methods of land measurement and allocation. *Yakshya Malla, the grandson of Jayasthiti Malla, ruled the Kathmandu Valley until almost the end of the 15th century. After his death, about 1484, the Valley was divided into three independent Valley kingdoms, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. This division led the Malla rulers into internecine wars for territorial and commercial gains. *Mutually debilitating wars gradually weakened them and by the time of the invasion of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, they had by themselves reached the brink of political extinction. The last rulers were Jaya Prakash Malla of Kathmandu, Tej Narsingh Malla of Patan, and Ranjit Malla of Bhaktapur. ===The Shah Dynasty=== *With [[Wikipedia:Prithvi Narayan Shah|Prithvi Narayan Shah]] (c.1769-1775), Nepal enters the modern period of Nepal's history. He was the ninth generation descendant of Dravya Shah (1559–1570), the founder of the ruling house of [[Wikipedia:Gurkha|Gurkha]]. Prithvi Narayan Shah succeeded his father Raja Nara Bhupal Shah on the throne of Gorkha in 1743. **Raja Prithvi Narayan Shah was quite aware of the political situation of the Valley rajadoms as well as of the Barsi and Chaubisi principalities. He foresaw the need for unifying the small principalities as an urgent condition for survival in the future and set himself to the task. **His assessment of the situation among the hill principalities was correct, and the principalities were subjugated fairly easily. His victory march began with the conquest of Nuwakot, which lies between Kathmandu and Gorkha, in 1744. After Nuwakot, he occupied strategic points in the hills surrounding the Kathmandu Valley. Thus the Valley's communications with the outside world were cut off. The occupation of the Kuti Pass in '''1756''' stopped the Valley's trade with Tibet. **Finally, he entered the Valley. At the victory of Kirtipur, Raja Jaya Prakash Malla of Kathmandu was defeated by Raja Prithvi Narayan Shah's army. The capture of Kathmandu on September 25, 1768, was dramatic. As the people of Kathmandu were celebrating the festival of Indrajatra, Prithvi Narayan Shah and his men marched into the city. A throne was put on the palace courtyard for the new Raja of Kathmandu. Prithvi Narayan Shah sat on the throne and was hailed by the people as the Raja of Kathmandu. Jaya Prakash Malla managed to escape with his life and sought asylum in Patan. When Patan was captured a few weeks later, both Jaya Prakash Malla and the Raja of Patan, Tej Narsingh Mallal, took refuge in Bhaktapur, which was also captured after some time. Thus the Kathmandu Valley was conquered by Prithvi Narayan Shah and Kathmandu became the capital of the modern Nepal in 1769. **Raja Prithvi Narayan Shah was successful in bringing together diverse religious and ethnic groups in one nation. He was a true nationalist in his outlook and was in favor of adopting a closed-door policy with regard to his neighbors. His social and economic views not only guided the country's socio-economic course for a long time, but his use of the imagery, ''a yam between two boulders'' with regard to Nepal's geopolitical situation, formed the principal guideline of the country`s foreign policy for future centuries. **'''In 1791, after the consolidation of the Nepali peoples, Rana Bahadur began a westward expansion conquering the Rajadoms of [[Wikipedia:Almora|Almora]], [[Wikipedia:Kumaon|Kumaon]], and [[Wikipedia:Garhwal|Garhwal]].''' **By 1803, Girvan Yuddha Bikram had reached the [[Wikipedia:Yamuna River|Yamuna River]] '''where he was stopped by the eastward expanding [[Rajadom of Jammu]]. A stalemate ensued which was ended by the Treaty of the Yamuna River which established that river as the boundary between the two nations.''' *'''In 1926, Tribhuvan Bir closed the mountain passes to Tibet after the Chinese Empire occupied Tibet. In order to survive economically, the Maharajadom increased its trade with its Himalayan neighbors on either side and with its Indian neighbors to the south. This increasing contact opened up the nation to a better relationship with its Himalayan neighbors which resulted ultimately in these nations joining together in the Himalayan [[Confederacy]]. This state of affairs lasted until the atom bombs were dropped on Beijing in 1949.''' ===Contemporary History=== *'''In 1975, Nepal joined Bhutan, Sikkim, and Lo to form the Himalayan Confederacy. The four nations agreed to be in the same time zone: UTC +6:00.''' *'''In 1977, the nations of the Himalayan Confederacy entered into a [[monetary union]], the basic unit to be known as the Himalayan Rupee (HR).''' *'''In 1979, the nations of the Himalayan Confederacy entered into a [[postal union]].''' *'''In 1982, Nepal joined Bhutan, Sikkim, and Lo to create the Himalayan Railway System. *'''In 1994, the final section of tracks of the the Himalayan Railway System was laid.'''

Fourth Age, as a leader of an Asatic tribe united a few villages under his rule and states Araero to be his residence. The settlements was known by the name ''Talsdwe'', which could have meant ''the place of rest''.

The city was founded in 0. 4A, and soon afterwards established a city state, that evolved, by means of expansions and wars, into the Kingdom of Aradór by as early as 740.4A. Aradór is the first Asatic Kingdom to be established, and the second state to be founded in the North-western region of Eramár, right after [[Magorion]], founded in year 601. 4A. Aradór gained its territories mainly by conquering those of related South Asatic tribes. At its greatest extend in the Pre-imperial period Aradór contained the former kingdoms/states of Moroy Asats, Sebyas, the Shanidas and the Nyelsh. As Aradór was not the first state to enter the ''Imperial Age'', it was for a while part of the [[Magorion|Empire of Magorion]]. ===Imperial=== : ''Main article: [[Asatic Empire of Aradór]]'' The (local) Imperial age in Aradór was marked by the foundation of the [[Asatic Empire]]. Aradór had successfully conquered all the Asatic lands and established a single Empire. The most interesting feature of the Empire was its division into three semi-autonomous states - Aradór, Coedór and Ínah, controlled by the ''Three Thrones of the Empire'' - [[Araero]], [[Coër]] and [[Duîn]] - three great cities along the shores of the [[Éduin]]. : ''Main article: [[Asáel]]'' After the collapse of the Asatic Empire, Aradór and Coedór maintained a single state for a while. It's name was [[Asáel]] in Longrimol, but the official Arazi name was ''Ashór Shórtazi Arazi ne Cöyarazi'' - The Empire of the Lands of Aras and Coer. After the split of Asaél into Aradór and Coedór, in the second half of the Imperial Age, Aradór was highly sea-oriented, and thus was the first to discover the continent of [[Sepír]], a landmass to south-west from [[Gondala]]. It established a lot of colonies there and kept them for many centuries; the colonies gained independence long after the end of Imperial age in Gondala. ===Post-Imperial=== The end of Imperial Age in Aradór was marked by change of government. The former absolute monarchy was replaced by a kind of presidential republic; the last monarch of Aradór was [[Queen Cwelhinu]], great-great-granddaughter of [[Queen Araisha|Araisha]]. As post-imperial age went on, more liberal rule was established in Aradór and it became a prosperous multi-cultural state, and Araero was the most populous and economically advanced metropolis of the World of Men. Soon a possibility of gaining Independence was granted to those regions of Aradór, that could prove their historical foundation of existing as an independent state, so the Shanidas and Nyelsh quickly became independent. Following the example of Aradór, Coedór granted the same possibility, and that gave rise the semi-Machoric states of [[Beringion]] and [[High Tarmanion|High]] and [[Low Tarmanion]].

The world of Tékumel, the setting of the role-playing game ''Empire of the Petal Throne'', is famed for its colour and exoticity. Tsolyani is an agglutinating language; most inflections are prefixes, but suffixes also occur in the language. Nouns are divided into three genders: ''noble'', ''ignoble'' and ''unclassifiable''. The noun takes a gender/number suffix and several prefixes. Verbs are not conjugated for person and number, nor tense, but take various valence-changing prefixes. ==External link== * [http://terengo.tdonnelly.org/tsoldata.html Teresh's Home Page - Tsolyani Language] [[Category:Conlangs]] Ars signorum 8512 57760 2010-11-17T20:13:30Z WeepingElf 43 {|border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=50% class="bordertable" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; font-size: 95%; float: right;" |colspan="2" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center" |'''Ars signorum''' |- |valign="top"|Spoken in: ||-- |- |valign="top"|Timeline/Universe: ||[[international auxiliary language]] |- |valign="top"|Total speakers: ||probably, none |- |valign="top"|Genealogical classification: ||[[a priori]] :[[philosophical language]] |- |valign="top"|[[Basic word order]]: ||SVO |- |valign="top"|[[Morphological type]]: ||agglutinating |- |valign="top"|[[Morphosyntactic alignment]]: ||accusative |- |colspan="2" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center" |'''Created by:''' |- ||George Dalgarno||1661 |} '''Ars signorum''' ([[Latin]]: ''The Art of Signs'') is a [[philosophical language]] published by George Dalgarno, a Scottish-born Oxford schoolmaster, in 1661.

Scattered across this ocean are islands, which vary from small isles no bigger than a hillside to huge islands the size of Japan or New Zealand. These land masses are relatively smooth, with a few round topped mountains, and each island or group of isles has its own biome. The largest land masses are the plateaus, which start out as regular islands at the shorelines, and become huge jagged mountainscapes a few hundred kilometers in. At the edge of the plateau are enormous glaciers which literally cover the mountain peaks underneath them, and only end below the plateau edge itself. The plateau surfaces are utterly uninhabitable; the air at this altitude is very thin and cold stratospheric air, and the temperatures are well below freezing. The plateaus are only inhabited by mining facilities. ==='''Climate'''=== Gemoarali's seasons are very mild, and barely effect precipitation at all. The temperature varies by as little as five degrees Celsius, and in most factions, seasons have a history of being based solely on the wobble of Ywvai's path across the sky rather than any climatic extremes at all. The temperature is, on average, 25 to 30 degrees Celsius in most areas of Gemoarali except the polar regions which are on average -10 degrees Celsius. Rainstorms come in steady streams and drizzle most of the time, and rarely form large rain drops unless a disturbance exists in the area such as volcanic activity. ==='''Natural Disasters'''=== The most common occurrences on Gemoarali are quakes, landslides, and volcanos. People living on a plateau continent coastal region are in the biggest seismic activity zones, as well as being in danger of a landslide from high up the plateau's edge leveling their city. Volcanos, on the other hand, are scattered on and between the smaller islands. A volcanic eruption happening at the edge of a plateau will most likely trigger a series of avalanches on the surface. ==='''Foods'''=== The Gemoariese, as a whole, are a sea-faring race, and most of the foods they eat are fish or seaweeds. The few crops they grow on or near land resemble rice, and are grown on aquatic farms which can be located in lagoons or even in shallow regions of the ocean usually found near islands where the ocean current is weak and deposits sand and minerals. The marine life of Gemoarali, on the other hand, is an abundant variety of food. The most commonly eaten of these are known as Zyjuki (Shy-YOU-key), and are similar to the Orca Whale found on earth, only much smaller and with different skin patterns. Some of the rarest foods on Gemoarali can be found in grottos deep under the ocean, and most of which discovered only recently by small submersibles. Rarely will alcohol be used as a drink, and as tolerable as the Gemoariese culture is in most respects, drinking alcohol is generally frowned upon. The one alcohol that is used in a drink is Jonade (Yo-NAH-de), and is only presented on very special occasions such as weddings, graduations, and revolution ceremonies. Other drinks of honor are generally juices from rare plants. ==='''Famine'''=== Though in stable times Gemoarali's food distribution is relatively level, famine can occur during times of war, pandemics, and extreme natural disasters. When food levels drop far enough, the head faction Jufande (YOU-faun-DEH) issues a special order requiring all citizens to use their own food sources. Most traditional-culture people living in wooden huts with their own small farmland will have no problem with this, and have little if nothing at all to do with the food distribution system at all. People living in skyscraper cities will find the issue more of a threat, and so they prepare ahead of time by signing a deal with a farmer to send in extra long-lasting food to stockpile in vaults for the occasion. ==='''Resources'''=== The most abundant resource present on Gemoarali is the native flora, which is used in cooking and the wood as construction materials. Most of Gemoarali's suburbs exist as wooden huts and dirt roads on which to walk, with the occasional Cylogen antigravity two-seater hovercraft, the tram systems arching over the world on large pillars, and a few people carrying PDAs. Almost everywhere on Gemoarali, the most abundant resource is literally all around you. The most valuable, and yet the rarest materials on Gemoarali are metal ores. Most cities on Gemoarali are made of a plastic-like alloy manufactured on Cyloga, a highly sophisticated space-faring race whose allegiance to Gemoarali has always been controversial and never entirely answerable. There are traces of a possible native society who may have mined out most of the existing ores before going extinct or leaving Gemoarali. Most existing ores are mostly present in the oceanic regions. === What is its most valuable resource? === === What resource is it most lacking? === ==='''Transportation'''=== Being a world of many small islands, the Gemoariese favor aquatic vehicles. The most common of these are the same approximate size and quantity as Terran cars. The larger aquatic vehicles are variable in size, from ferry sized transporters that work as busses to giant floating islands thirty or forty decks tall which drift with the current and only move to avoid land. The few land vehicles are trams, usually monorails, which move in small webs between each major city of that particular landmass. Larger islands have more than one system, such as one system to travel between different regions of the landmass, and smaller ones to travel inside the region. ==='''Territory'''=== Gemoarali, being a planet, has no border; instead, territorial issues between Gemoarali and the other worlds are sorted out based on claim of planet, claim of star, and claim of orbital distances, among other more complex details. Gemoarali lays claim on Ywvai and its entire system from center of star to edge of gravitational influence. === How many people live here? === === Where in this place to they congregate? === === What part of this place do they avoid?

Personal pronouns decline for three persons, three numbers and may take case suffixes and other clitics. Demonstrative pronouns decline by number and case. There are no relative pronouns. == Personal pronouns == Personal pronouns do not change for gender, but have emphatic and vocative forms, in addition to taking the same case clitics as nouns. === Basic forms === These forms are used in all contexts in which the other pronouns cannot be used. They are used when the pronoun is an argument of a verb, except when the pronoun is serving as topic or focus: {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="5" |- | ! Singular ! Dual ! Plural |- !First person | su | su-f | su-wa |- !Second person | uʔ | uʔ-ef | u-wa |- !Third person | aʔ | aʔ-ef | aʔ-uwa |} These pronouns can then have the case suffixes applicable to [[Tsakxa nouns]] attached to them, as in ''u-wa-kxa'' (we deliberately), ''u-wa-ta'' (with us). === Emphatic pronouns === These pronouns are used in topical (i.e. initial) position: {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="5" |- | ! Singular ! Dual ! Plural |- !First person | a-su | a-s-ef | as-wa |- !Second person | as-uʔ | as-uf | a-wa |- !Third person | as-aʔ | as-af | as-wa |} For example: : ''A-su-ø se-pesh-as'' - if I were a rich man : ''A-swa tas-tas-el ta-ma'' - he's definitely looking at us === Vocative forms === {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="5" |- | ! Singular ! Dual ! Plural |- !Second person | et-uʔ | et-uf | et-wa |} The vocative forms are used to call attention to the speaker.

Dual is expressed regularly by the suffix -f, plural likewise by -t. : ''Ep'' - That thing : ''U-atqe'' - Under that thing The prefix ''s-'' + adverbial + locative suffix creates pronouns with the meaning of 'the thing (preposition) that thing': : ''S-u-atqe'' - the thing under that thing == Interrogative pronouns == {| border="1" cellpadding="2" class="wikitable" !colspan=2 rowspan=2| || colspan=4 | Distance from speaker |- !'''Animate''' !'''Inanimate''' |- !rowspan=3|<br>'''Case''' !

The inanimates roughly equate to 'what' or 'which' and the animates to 'who'. The ergative and absolutive are used as the typical cases, the adverbials take the normal adverbial case suffixes. : ''Nxa fu se-sha-nxa-l?'' - Who did this?

Arguments may precede the verb in any order; however, the most salient argument, usually the topic or an emphasised element, is fronted. This 'focus' argument may be any argument of the verb, and is the first element of any utterance: : ''Sesu-ø uʔ-a se-ta-nxa'' - your sister saw you (sister-TOPIC 2ps-DAT ABS<sup>-3</sup>-see<sup>0</sup>-PERF<sup>1</sup>) The utterance as a whole, according to Dawkins (1999), has the following prototypical order: :{|class="wikitable" |- ! FOCUS || TIME || MANNER || PLACE || AGENT || PATIENT || VERB |- | ''waspap'' || ''patangqate'' || ''ateteta'' || - || ''Yetekxa'' || ''wen'' || ''unquyuyut'' |- | that tent || yesterday || with a knife || - || Yete || meat || cutting (in it) |- |colspan=7| <center>Yesterday Yete was cutting meat in that tent</center> |} In actual speech, however, the order of the elements between the focus and the verb is effectively free. === Compulsory arguments === To be a complete sentence, an utterance must have at least a focus (which may be the agent or patient) and a verb: : ''wen syuyut'' - the meat is cut (meat ABS<sup>-3</sup>:cut<sup>0</sup>) : ''mama uyuyut'' - the person cuts something (person GEN<sup>-1</sup>:cut<sup>0</sup>) A 'transitive' verb without the generic prefix (which reduces the valency by one) requires a patient but not a stated agent: : ''wen (sukxa) syuyut'' - the meat is cut (by me) (meat (1ps:ERG) ABS[INANIM]<sup>-3</sup>:cut<sup>0</sup>) === Deletion of arguments === The focus may never be deleted. However, other pronominal arguments may be deleted if they are understood from context: : ''engqa setanxafe?'' - did (you) see the beast? (beast ABS<sup>-3</sup>:see<sup>0</sup>:PERF<sup>1</sup>:INTERR<sup>2</sup>) Both personal pronouns and interrogative pronouns can be deleted: : ''engqa setanxale?'' - (who) saw the beast? (beast ABS<sup>-3</sup>:see<sup>0</sup>:PERF<sup>1</sup>:DUB<sup>2</sup>) == The noun phrase == Dawkins presents the following order as prototypical of Tsakxa noun phrases: :{|class="wikitable" |- ! NOUN || GENITIVES || ADJECTIVES || PLURAL || DEMONSTRATIVES || SUFFIXES || CASE |- | ''fesak'' || ''su-qa'' || ''wasa'' || ''-t'' || ''-ep'' || ''-en'' || ''-nxa'' |- | cooking-pots || my || blue || (ones) || that || not || (ergative) |- |colspan=7| <center>Not those blue cooking pots of mine (ergative)</center> |} A noun phrase requires only a noun and a case ending.

Adjectives ȝòṁëṁeróes */ =[[Senjecan pronunciation guide]]= =[[Senjecan grammar abbreviations]]= =<center>CHAPTER TWO. INFLECTION <font color=blue>némos II. ṁénкos</font></center>= *'''029'''. Senjecas is a combination of both an [[Wikipedia:analytic language|analytic]] or isolating language and an [[Wikipedia:inflection|inflected]] language. Inflection is a change in the form of a word which is made to express its relation to other words. It includes the declension of nouns, adjectives, participles, and pronouns, and the conjugation of verbs. In the process of inflection, suffixes are added to a root which conveys the fundamental idea underlying the word. ==§1. Verbs <font color=blue>ùfṁeróes</font>== *'''030'''. [[Wikipedia:verb|Verbs]] are words that name what the subject of the statement is doing, feeling, ''etc.''. Senjecas is primarily a verbal language, the verb being considered the most important part of a sentence. A major portion of the Senjecan vocabulary is based on verbal roots. *'''031'''. The root of a verb is the verb minus the mood suffix. As this root is never found alone, in the dictionary the indicative form is used, ''e.g.'' <font color=blue>ṁén-a</font>. This form is the [[Wikipedia:lemma (linguistics)|lemma]] for verbs. *'''032'''. The verb has three moods: the [[Wikipedia:indicative|indicative]], the [[Wikipedia:subjunctive|subjunctive]], and the [[Wikipedia:imperative|imperative]]. In the indicative, a statement of fact is made. In the subjunctive, a statement of unreality or uncertainty is made. In the imperative, a command is given. These moods are called finite moods. The subjunctive is also called a dependent mood. To the root is added <font color=blue>-a</font> for the indicative mood, <font color=blue>-o</font> for the subjunctive mood, and <font color=blue>-e</font> for the imperative mood. There is no infinitive. *'''033'''. Verbs are not marked for tense. A preverb [[Wikipedia:grammatical particle|particle]] is used to indicate time when necessary. <font color=blue>Per</font> is used to indicate past time. <font color=blue>Pos</font> is used to indicate future time. These particles occur immediately before the verb and are inseparable from it. The verb unmarked for time is the default for the present. *'''034'''. The verb has only one [[Wikipedia:grammatical voice|voice]], the active. In the active voice, the subject is the doer or agent of the action of the verb. A [[Wikipedia:periphrastic|periphrastic]] middle voice, in which the subject acts upon himself, is formed by using the [[Wikipedia:reflexive pronoun|reflexive pronoun]] <font color=blue>pòtĭum</font>, "self," as the direct object of the verb. A periphrastic passive voice, in which the grammatical subject is the recipient of the action of the verb, is formed by using the verb <font color=blue>táála</font> with the patient participle. An accusative sentence, ''e.g.'', "sheep slaughter easily," is not possible in Senjecas. It must be rendered as the periphrastic passive, "one slaughters sheep easily". *'''035'''. The verb has two [[Wikipedia:grammatical aspect|aspects]]: the imperfective and the perfective. The imperfective aspect denotes a verb that expresses its meaning without regard to its beginning or completion. The perfective aspect denotes a completed action. The imperfective aspect is unmarked, being simply the root of the verb, plus the mood suffix. The perfective aspect is indicated by a reduplication of the initial consonant or by a lengthening of the initial vowel. If the initial vowel is already long, nothing further need be done. The reduplicated syllable is always pronounced on the basal pitch. **The weak vowel connecting the reduplicated vowel to the verb is determined by vowel harmony. Weak i (<font color=blue>ï</font>) is used when the vowel of the verb is one of the frontals: i, e, and a, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁéna</font>, <font color=blue>ṁïṁéna</font>. Weak u (<font color=blue>ü</font>) is used when the vowel of the verb is one of the frontals: o, ɔ, and u, e.g., <font color=blue>vúnda</font>, <font color=blue>vüvúnda</font>. *'''036'''. The verbal noun is known as the [[wikipedia:supine|supine]] (<font color=blue>ùfṁernóómnos</font>). It is formed by adding <font color=blue>-u</font> to the verb root, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tóla</font>, determine; <font color=blue>tólu</font>, (to) determine. It is not to be confused with the deverbative noun, ''e.g.'', determination, which is a noun of the <font color=blue>-as</font> class, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tólas</font>, determination. *'''037'''. Senjecan verbs are divided into two classes: **a. Class I verbs are those with an initial consonant, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tóla</font>, determine. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" ! ! colspan="2"|imperfective ! colspan="2"|perfective |- ! indicative active | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tóla</font> | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tütóla</font> |- ! subjunctive active | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tólo</font> | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tütólo</font> |- ! imperative active | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tóle</font> |- ! indicative agent participle | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tólantis</font> | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tütólantis</font> |- ! subjunctive agent participle | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tólontis</font> | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tütólontis</font> |- ! indicative patient participle | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tólaþis</font> | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tütólaþis</font> |- ! subjunctive patient participle | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tóloþis</font> | colspan="2"|<font color=blue>tütóloþis</font> |} **b.

Nouns <font color=blue>noomnóes</font>== *'''038'''. [[Wikipedia:noun|Nouns]] are words that designate a person, a thing, a place or an abstraction. *'''039'''. Nouns and adjectives have but one root, which is the word minus the declensional ending, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ćín-os</font>, cradle. This root plus the nominative singular declensional ending is the [[wikipedia:lemma|lemma]] for nouns. *'''040'''. There are two [[Wikipedia:grammatical number|numbers]], singular and plural. The singular denotes a single item. The plural denotes more than one. *'''041'''. There are four cases, [[Wikipedia:nominative|nominative]], stative, motive, and [[Wikipedia:vocative|vocative]]. *'''042'''. There are six [[Wikipedia:declension|classes]] of nouns, one for each of the vowels. *'''043'''. The <font color=blue>-is</font> class contains animate nouns that name plants, and nouns in <font color=blue>-tŭis</font>, which are, for the most part, vegetable in origin, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>áspis</font>, aspen. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" ! ! colspan="2"|singular ! colspan="2"|plural |- !

Adjectives <font color=blue>ȝòṁëṁeróes</font>== *'''050'''. Adjectives are words that in some way qualify nouns and pronouns. They occur in two broad categories, determinate and indeterminate. *'''051'''. Determinate adjectives are those which single out the noun qualified, rather than describe it. Determinate adjectives include the cardinal numerals and the interrogative adjectives. These adjectives, when used attributively, agree with the nouns they modify in class only, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>кɔ́sne teúres</font>, the black bull; <font color=blue> vévr' éćŭes</font>, the brown horse (''note the elision''). *'''052'''. There is no definite article. *'''053'''. There is no indefinite article. *'''054'''. The demonstrative adjectives are <font color=blue>dis</font>, this, referring to what is near in place, time or thought; <font color=blue>nis</font>, that, referring to what is more remote; and <font color=blue>ólnis</font>, that over there, referring to what is even more remote. They are seen as appositives to their noun and thus postposed. *'''055'''. The demonstrative adjectives may be emphasized by affixing an <font color=blue>-h-</font> to the declensional root. The declension ending then receives the primary accent. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |- | <font color=blue>кàϙvalíȝos</font> | <font color=blue>dos</font> | <font color=blue>кàϙvalíȝos</font> | <font color=blue>dohós</font> |- | book | this | book | this-right-here |} *'''056'''. The interrogative adjectives are <font color=blue>кŭis</font>, which, and <font color=blue>кŭótis</font>, how-, -much, -many. *'''057'''. Possession is expressed by the personal pronoun in the stative case, ''e.g.'', <font color =blue>mùsĭo éénsos</font>, my sword; <font color=blue>ṁum réðnos</font>, our wagon; <font color=blue>mùsĭo péélnos кŭasĭónos ésa</font>, my cup is wooden. If it is a centaur, ''e.g.'', who is talking about his cup, he would say, <font color=blue>mɔ́̀sĭo péélnos кŭasĭónos ésa</font>. *'''058'''. Non-determinate adjectives are those which describe a noun or pronoun. When used attributively they agree with the nouns they qualify in class only, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>méngu ṁírus</font>, [the] handsome man; <font color=blue>méngu ṁirósĭ' o</font>, for [the] handsome man; <font color=blue>méngu amámas</font>, [the] beautiful grandmother; <font color=blue>méngu àmamásĭ' o</font>, for [the] beautiful grandmother. When used in the predicate they agree in class, case and number, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁírus méngus ésa</font>, [The] man is handsome. *'''059'''. a. Participles are non-determinate adjectives. There is a participle for each time, aspect and mood of the verb. **b. The agent participles are formed by suffixing <font color=blue>-nt-</font> to the modal root of the verb, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁéna</font>, love, <font color=blue>ṁénantis</font>, loving. The primary accent remains on the root vowel. **c. The patient participles are formed by suffixing <font color=blue>-þ-</font> to the modal root of the verb, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁéna</font>, love, <font color=blue>ṁénaþis</font>, loved. The primary accent remains on the root vowel. *'''060'''. a. A characteristic of non-determinate adjectives (and adverbs) is that they can be compared. **b. There is only one degree of comparison which is used for both the comparative and the superlative. Adjectives form this comparative degree by qualifying the adjective with the adverb <font color=blue>òvlu</font>, more, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>máhe ćŭónes</font>, a big dog; <font color=blue>òvlu máhe ćŭónes</font>, a bigger dog; <font color=blue>méngu séntus</font>, a handsome traveler; <font color=blue>òvlu méngu séntus</font>, a more handsome traveler; <font color=blue>óóćo naaúsos</font>, a swift boat; <font color=blue>òvlu óóćo naaúsos</font>, [the] swiftest boat; <font color=blue>ȝóóre sínϙes</font>, a fierce lion; <font color=blue>òvlu ȝóóre sínϙes</font>, [the] fiercest lion. The noun or pronoun of comparison is in the stative case followed by the postposition <font color=blue>sòma</font>, in comparison to. There are no suppletive forms, ''e.g.'', as in English "good/better". **c. Adjectives form the equative degree by adding the suffix <font color=blue>-stális</font> to the class root of the adjective, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>móðre fááfles</font>, a blue butterfly; <font color=blue>fááfles des mòðrestáles nèsĭo sòma ésa</font>, this butterfly is as blue as that one. The noun or pronoun of comparison is in the stative case followed by the postposition <font color=blue>sòma</font>, in comparison to. **d. Negative comparative adjectives are formed by modifying the adjective with the adverb <font color=blue>lìsu</font>, less, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>dáánes des lìsu óóćes nèsĭo sòma ésa</font>, this river is less swift than that one. The noun or pronoun of comparison is in the stative case followed by the postposition <font color=blue>sòma</font>, in comparison to. **e. Negative equative adjectives are formed by using the negative particle <font color=blue>ne</font> to negate the verb, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>fááfles des mòðrestáles nèsĭo sòma ésa ne</font>, this butterfly is not so blue as that one. The noun or pronoun of comparison is in the stative case followed by the postposition <font color=blue>sòma</font>, in comparison to. ==§4. Numerals <font color=blue>nemsóes</font>== *'''061'''. The counting system in Senjecas is very regular and is a vigesimal system, although there are both decimal and vigesimal symbols. These numerals may be seen in [[Appendix IV]]. *'''062'''. In Senjecas words exist for the cardinals numerals 1 through 19, and for 100, for 1,000 and for multiples of 1,000, from 10,000 to 1,000,000,000. The other numerals are compounds of these or are based on these. The cardinal numerals are not declined. The cardinal numerals for 100 and above are nouns. They are plural in form when used in compound numerals. *'''063'''. The numbers for the decades are formed by adding <font color=blue>sár</font>, twenty, to the combining form of the cardinal numeral, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tírsar</font>, 60; <font color=blue>tísſar déms</font>, 70. *'''064'''. In a similar way, the hundreds after 100 are formed by adding <font color=blue>ćemtóes</font> to the combining form of the cardinal numeral, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tìrćemtóes</font>, 300; <font color=blue>òsćemtóes</font>, 800. *'''065'''. In a similar way, the thousands after 1,000 are formed by adding <font color=blue>heslóes</font> to the combining form of the cardinal numeral, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tìrheslóes</font>, 3,000; <font color=blue>sèfheslóes</font>, 7,000. *'''066'''. Million is rendered as <font color=blue>ȝóṁćos</font>; <font color=blue>кŭèrȝoṁćóes</font>, 4,000,000. *'''067'''. The other cardinal numerals are formed by juxtaposing the numbers. {| border=1 | <center>22</center> | <center>49</center> | <center>458</center> | <center>7,628</center> |- | <font color=blue>sár dŭo | <font color=blue>dŭósar neún | <font color=blue>кŭèrćemtóes dŭósar déms oć | <font color=blue>sefhesloes sŭèsćemtóes sár oć |} *'''068'''. The ordinal numerals beyond ''tenth'' are formed by juxtaposing the required ordinals, the smaller placed last, and the last element of the number taking the ordinal ending, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>sártis</font>, twentieth; <font color=blue>oítis</font>, first; <font color=blue>sár oìtis</font>, twenty-first. Tonally they are one word. *'''069'''.

Pronouns <font color=blue>stiivnòòmnëṁeróes</font>== *'''074'''. Pronouns are words that can be substituted for nouns. The following types of pronouns can be found in Senjecas: personal, intensive, reciprocal, demonstrative, interrogative, indefinite, and reflexive. *'''075'''. a. The personal pronouns are <font color=blue>mus</font>, I; <font color=blue>tus</font>, you; <font color=blue>ṁus</font>, we; and <font color=blue>ȝus</font>, you. The third person pronouns are <font color=blue>dus</font>, <font color=blue>nus</font>, and <font color=blue>òlnus</font>, he, she, it; and <font color=blue>dùes</font>, <font color=blue>nùes</font>, and <font color=blue>olnùes</font> they, depending on the proximity or remoteness of the person or object. These pronouns are put into the appropriate class and case of the noun for which they are substituting, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ćŭónes</font>, <font color=blue>nes</font>, [the] dog, it; <font color=blue>ííṁis</font>, <font color=blue>nis</font>, [the] yew tree, it; <font color=blue>óndos</font>, <font color=blue>nos</font>, [the] rock, it. If a human is talking about himself, he says <font color=blue>mus</font>. If a centaur is talking about himself, he says <font color=blue>mɔs</font>. **b. There is no implication of gender in the third person pronouns. To specify the gender, the gender-marking prefixes must be used, <font color=blue>nòrnus</font>, he; <font color=blue>ììnus</font>, she. These are enclitics and the tone remains on the pronoun. **c. The personal pronouns are declined like the nouns in their proper classes, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus, mùsĭo, mum</font>; etc. *'''076'''. The intensive pronoun is formed by prefixing <font color=blue>poþ-</font>, to the personal pronouns, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus per áta</font>, I went; <font color=blue>pòþmus pos áta</font>, I myself will go. *'''077'''. The reciprocal pronoun is <font color=blue>anĭànĭus</font>. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (75c). *'''078'''. The demonstrative pronouns are <font color=blue>dus</font>, this, <font color=blue>nus</font>, that, and <font color=blue>òlnus</font>, that over there. They are declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (75c). *'''079'''. a. The interrogative pronoun is <font color=blue>кŭus</font>. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (75c). **b. There is also a dual interrogative pronoun <font color=blue>кŭutèrus</font>, who/which of two. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (75c). *'''080'''. The indefinite pronoun is <font color=blue>sèmus</font>, some(one/thing). The negative indefinite pronoun is <font color=blue>nèsmus</font>, no one, nobody, nothing. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (75c). *'''081'''. The reflexive pronoun is <font color=blue>pòtĭum</font>. It is found only in the motive case, as the direct object of a verb or postposition, or in the stative case as the object of a postposition. ==§6. Adverbs <font color=blue>ṁòòϙṁeróes</font>== *'''082'''. Adverbs stand in the same relationship to verbs (and adjectives) as adjectives do to nouns, ''i.e.'', in some way they qualify the verb (or adjective). *'''083'''. Certain words are, of their nature, adverbs, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ìðu</font>, here. Adverbs of this type end in <font color=blue>-u</font>. *'''084'''. Any non-determinate adjective may be used as an adverb. When used in this way, the enclitic <font color=blue>-(ë)vi</font> is added to the root of the adjective. The primary accent of the adjective is reduced to a secondary accent on the adverb. '''These brave men fought.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>ϙólvu</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ṁir-úes</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>des</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>per</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ćát-a:</font></center> |- |brave |man-NO.p |this-NO.p |PCL |fight-IND |} '''These men fought bravely.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>ṁir-úes</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>d-es</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ϙòlv-ë-vi</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>per</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ćát-a:</font></center> |- |man-NO.p |this-NO.p |brave-EP-ADV |PCL |fight-IND |} *'''085'''. Adverbs form their comparatives and superlatives with the same adverbs that are used for the adjectives, ''i.e.'', <font color=blue>òlvu</font> and <font color=blue>lìſu</font>. '''These men fought more bravely than those.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>ṁir-úes</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>d-es</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>n-um</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>sòma</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>òlvu</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ϙòlv-ë-vi</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>per</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ćát-a:</font></center> |- |man-NO.p |this-NO.p |that-ST.p |compared.to |more |brave-EP-ADV |PCL |fight-IND |} *'''086'''.

Compounding Rules */ =[[Senjecan pronunciation guide]]= =[[Senjecan grammar abbreviations]]= =<center>CHAPTER THREE. Word Formation <font color=blue>némos III. ɱermérvas</font></center>= *'''087'''. Senjecas has a well-developed system of word formation in which roots are modified by various prefixes and suffixes to form new words. ''E.g.'', the root <font color=blue>ed-</font> may give <font color=blue>éda</font>, eat; <font color=blue>édos</font>, food; <font color=blue>édĭis</font>, edible; <font color=blue>eðdémos</font>, restaurant; <font color=blue>nédĭis</font>, inedible; and <font color=blue>édus</font>, eater. ==§1. Word Structure== *'''088'''. A root is that part of a word which remains after its formative elements are removed. It gives the meaning or abstract idea apart from its relations. It is not necessarily a monosyllable. *'''089'''. A simple word is formed from a single root. A compound word is formed by combining two or more roots. *'''090'''. The verb is the most important part of speech in Senjecas. A major part of the Senjecan vocabulary is derived from verbs. To the verbal root are added prefixes and suffixes to form other words, such as nouns and adjectives, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>némva</font>, steam; <font color=blue>némvos</font>, steam; <font color=blue>némvëmis</font>, steamy. In many modern languages, including English, this example would seem to be that of a noun which has given rise to a verb. It is not understood that way in Senjecas. Words that are not derived from verbs are known as non-derivative words. *'''091'''. Other parts of speech formed from a verbal root are called deverbatives, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>rezréṁas</font>, principality, from <font color=blue>réźa</font>, rule. *'''092'''. There are eight categories of words in Senjecas. **a. The verb with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tíírs-a</font>, defy; <font color=blue>tíírs-as</font>, defiance; <font color=blue>tíírs-is</font>, defiant; <font color=blue>tììrs-u</font>, nevertheless; <font color=blue>tììrs-a</font>, despite; <font color=blue>tììrs-i</font>, although. **b. The non-derivative noun with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>rúðs-os</font>, metal; <font color=blue>ruðsáágus</font>, metalworker; <font color=blue>rúúðsis</font>, metallic. **c. The non-derivative adjective with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>súúnt-is</font>, alert; <font color=blue>súnt-ëtas</font>, alertness. Any non-derivative adjective can be used as a verb, <font color=blue>mùsë súnta</font>, I am alert. **d. The non-derivative adverb with its derivatives, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ààr-u</font>, so, thus; <font color=blue>ààr-i</font>, therefore. **e. The non-derivative pronoun, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus</font>, I. **f. The non-derivative postposition, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>èna</font>, in. **g. The non-derivative conjunction, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁo</font>, or. **h. The non-derivative interjection, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁaí</font>, woe. *'''093'''. The basic form of the Senjecan verb is called the triphonetic root. In its simplest form, it consists of a consonant, a vowel(s), and a consonant (CVC, <font color=blue>кúp-</font>); or a null, a vowel(s), and a consonant (ØVC, <font color=blue>ém-</font>). *'''094'''. A lengthened triphonetic root can be formed by inserting a non-plosive consonant (N) before the last consonant (CVNC, <font color=blue>ćémb-</font>; ØVNC, <font color=blue>óln-</font>). *'''095'''. Compound verbs may be formed by adding a proclitic element to the triphonetic root, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>pu-áta</font>, return. These proclitic elements may be any part of speech. As with enclitics, the proclitic element is intoned on the basal pitch. *'''096'''. To this triphonetic root are added the various prefixes and suffixes to form compound words, ''e.g.'', nouns from verbs. *'''097'''. Pronouns, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus</font>; non-derivative adverbs and postpositions, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ànta</font>; and non-derivative nouns and adjectives, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>vólnos</font>, have their own forms independent of any triphonetic root. To these also may be added the various prefixes and suffixes to form other parts of speech, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>v-źémvis</font>, toothless. ==§2. Compounding Rules== *'''098'''. If the first element in the compound word ends in a single consonant and the initial letter of the second element is a vowel, the second element is added to the root of the first element, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>tíír-a</font>, scrape, + <font color=blue>óndos</font>, stone, = <font color=blue>tiiróndos</font>, scouring stone; <font color=blue>óóć-is</font>, swift, + <font color=blue>óres</font>, hawk = <font color=blue>ooćóres</font>, goshawk. *'''099'''. If the first element in the compound word ends in a single consonant and the initial letter of the second element is a consonant, the second element is added to the root, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>aabél-os</font>, apple + <font color=blue>héélos</font>, wine = <font color=blue>ààbelhéélos</font>, cider.

Definitions. <font color=blue>tòlкümáes</font>== *'''154'''. A sentence expresses a thought in words. Syntax treats of the relation of these words to one another. A sentence may contain a declaration, a question, a command (imperative or subjunctive), or an exclamation. Each of these may be either affirmative or negative. *'''155'''. Every sentence must contain two parts, a subject and a predicate. The subject is that about which something is stated. The predicate is that which is stated about the subject. ''E.g.'', in the sentence <font color=blue>maaкíes ànþomíes móla</font>, the poppies are in bloom, "the poppies" is the subject and "are in bloom" is the predicate. *'''156'''. A verb with its pronoun subject makes the simplest form of sentence: <font color=blue>nus ćérsa</font>, He runs. **There are some impersonal sentences, having to do with the weather, that contain only a predicate, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁérsa</font>, it is raining. *'''157'''. A simple sentence contains only one clause. *'''158'''. When any part of <font color=blue>ésa</font> or <font color=blue>móla</font>, be, connects the subject with a following noun, adjective, or phrase, the verb is called the copula, and what follows is called the predicate, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mùsĭo heſrées uϙrées móla</font>, my hands are cold. The copula may not be omitted in Senjecas. *'''159'''. That upon which the action of a verb is exerted is called the object. The object may be either direct or indirect, ''e.g.'', in <font color=blue>nus tír ternósĭo méton nùsĭ' o lúϙa</font>, he promised him three measures of wheat, "three measures" is the direct object and "him" the indirect object. *'''160'''. Verbs which can have a direct object are called transitive; those which cannot are called intransitive. In Senjecas, most verbs are ambitransitive, that is, they can be both transitive and intransitive. ==§3. Subject and Predicate <font color=blue>ṁáátosкŭe eegáþosкŭe</font>== ===Subject <font color=blue>ṁáátos</font>=== *'''161'''. The subject of a finite verb is in the nominative case, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>éćŭes ćérsa</font>, the horse runs. *'''162'''. The subject of a dependent finite verb is in the motive case, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus num átu ṁéća</font>, I wanted him to go. ===Subject and Verb <font color=blue>ṁáátosкŭe ufṁérosкŭe</font>=== *'''163'''. A finite verb is marked only for mood, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus sárta</font>, I hoe; <font color=blue>nuí sárte</font>, let them hoe. ===Predicate Noun and Adjective <font color=blue>èègaþnóómnosкŭe ȝomɱérosкŭe</font>=== *'''164'''. With verbs signifying "to be, to become, to appear, to taste, to be named, to be chosen, to be made, to be thought, to be regarded", ''etc''., a noun or adjective in the predicate is in the same case as the subject, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>nus tùsĭo vaatósĭo èho mélĭaþus tïtáála</font>, he has become angered by your speech. These verbs are called copulative verbs.

A noun may be in apposition with the subject or the object of a sentence, where in English "as" or a like word would be used. '''The prince is offering horses to the sun god as a sacrifice.''' {| |<center><font color=blue>asúr-usë</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>suul-ésĭo</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>dííȝṁ-um</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>o</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>éćŭ-en</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>pénd-om</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>pénd-a:</font></center> |- |one-NO.s |horse-MO.p |sacrifice-MO.s |sun-ST.s |god-ST.s |to |sacrifice-IND |} *'''168'''. The appositive of material or contents, denotes that of which anything consists, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>veerúrosë sŭááde áṁdes</font>, a spring of fresh water; <font color=blue>dŭó metóes miilnóes</font>, two measures of flour. ==§5. Adjectives <font color=blue>ȝomṁéros</font>== ===Agreement of Adjectives <font color=blue>ȝomṁeróm vúndas</font>=== *'''169'''. Attributive adjectives agree with their substantives in class only. This applies to adjectives of whatever kind: determinate, non-determinate, or participles. {| |<center><font color=blue>rúúðo</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>sкíþlos</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>rúúðe</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>áṁes</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>rúúði</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>ánþis</font></center> |- |red |box |red |bird |red |flower |} {| |<center><font color=blue>rúúðo</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>sкiþlóes</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>rúúðe</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>aṁées</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>rúúði</font></center> |<center><font color=blue>anþíes</font></center> |- |red |boxes |red |birds |red |flowers |} *'''170'''. If, however, the attributive adjective is separated from its substantive by another phrase, it must then agree in class, case and number, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ále ṁáкes</font>, white cow; but <font color=blue>áles ϙomósĭ' èna ṁáкes</font>, the white cow in the stable. *'''171'''. Because they are not preposed, predicate adjectives must agree with their substantives in class, case and number. They may be connected to their substantives by the copula or a copulative verb, becoming a part of the predicate or assertion made of the subject, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>alvúnes áles ésa</font>, the dove is white. *'''172'''. An attributive adjective qualifying several substantives agrees with the nearest substantive in class and is understood with the rest, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ðévaþe éćŭesкŭe réðusкŭe</font>, the injured horse and rider. *'''173'''. A predicate adjective qualifying several substantives agrees in class, number and case with the nearest substantive, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ećŭesкŭe réðusкŭe ðévaþus móla</font>, the horse and rider are injured. ===Adjectives as Substantives <font color=blue>ȝòmṁeróes nòòmnëṁeróes</font>=== *'''174'''. An attributive adjective may be used as a substantive. It is put in the class of the missing substantive, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>pórus</font>, just man; <font color=blue>meeróes</font>, important things. ==§6. Pronouns <font color=blue>stììvnoomnóes</font>== *'''175'''. Pronouns are words that can be substituted for nouns. The following types of pronouns can be found in Senjecas: personal, intensive, reciprocal, demonstrative, interrogative, indefinite, and reflexive. *'''176'''. The personal pronouns are <font color=blue>mus</font>, I; <font color=blue>tus</font>, you; <font color=blue>ṁus</font>, we; and <font color=blue>ȝus</font>, you. The third person pronouns are <font color=blue>dus, nus</font>, and <font color=blue>ólnus</font>, he, she, it; and <font color=blue>dues, nues</font>, and <font color=blue>olnùes</font> they, depending on the proximity or remoteness of the person or object. These pronouns are put into the appropriate class and case of the noun for which they are substituting, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ćŭónes, nes</font>, [the] dog, it; <font color=blue>ííṁis, nis</font>, [the] yew tree, it; <font color=blue>óndos, nos</font>, [the] rock, it. If a human is talking about himself, he says <font color=blue>mus</font>. If a centaur is talking about himself, he says <font color=blue>mɔs</font>. **a. There is no implication of gender in the third person pronouns. To specify the gender, the gender-marking prefixes must be used, <font color=blue>nornus</font>, he; <font color=blue>iinus</font>, she. These are enclitics and the tone remains on the pronoun. **b. The personal pronouns are declined like the nouns in their proper classes, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus, mùsĭo, mum</font>; ''etc.'' *'''177'''. The intensive pronoun is formed by prefixing <font color=blue>poþ-</font>, to the personal pronouns, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mus per áta</font>, I went; <font color=blue>pòþmus pos áta</font>, I myself will go. *'''178'''. The reciprocal pronoun is <font color=blue>ànĭànĭŭso</font>. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (176b). *'''179'''. The demonstrative pronouns are <font color=blue>dus</font>, this; <font color=blue>nus</font>, that</font>; and <font color=blue>òlnus</font>, that over there. They are declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (176b). *'''180'''. The interrogative pronoun is <font color=blue>кŭus</font>. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (176c). *'''181'''. There is also a dual interrogative pronoun <font color=blue>кŭutèrus</font>, who/which of two. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (176b). *'''182'''. The indefinite pronoun is <font color=blue>sèmus</font>, some(one/thing). The negative indefinite pronoun is <font color=blue>nèsmus</font>, no one, nobody, nothing. It is declined in the same way as the personal pronouns (176b). *'''183'''. The reflexive pronoun is <font color=blue>pótĭum</font>. It is found only in the motive case, as the direct object of a verb or postposition, or in the stative case (potĭòſĭo) as the object of a postposition.

It was implanted by Senesantus in the Children of Air, the Ethrans, the first created of the Six Loquent Peoples when s/he sang their unique song into their ears, and subsequently s/he sang their unique songs into the ears of the other loquent peoples as they were created. It remained the only language spoken by the Six Loquent Peoples until the Great Sundering. After this, differences between the Peoples and regional differences within each People arose which led to the development of diverse languages, many of which became mutually unintelligible. The ability to speak Senjecas had never been lost by the Ethrans and the Children of Wood, the Xylans, who had been unaffected by the Great Sundering. In the renascence that began after the Children of Earth (the Humans) recovered from the Great Sundering, Senjecas was restored as the medium of communication among the Six Loquent Peoples. The language is an isolating (analytic) language with only a very few inflections, although compounding is common. It is a Type A tonal language (register system) with an absence of velar and uvular sounds and limited consonant clusters. It is classed as a nominative-accusative language. ==§1. Alphabet <font color=blue>ruuníȝos</font>== *'''001.''' The Senjecan alphabet has 30 graphemes: 24 consonants and six vowels. *'''002.''' The order of the alphabet is based on articulatory phonetics. The order with the IPA symbols is: p /p/, b /b/, f /Φ/, v /β/, ṁ /m̊/, m /m/; t /t/, d /d/, þ /θ/, ð /ð/, ł /l̥/, l /l/; ć /ts/, ź /dz/, s /s/, z /z/, r /ɾ̥/, n /n/; ĸ /k/, g /g/, x /ç/, ϙ /ʝ/, h /j̊/, ȝ /j/; i /i/, e /e/, a /a/, ɔ /ɔ/, o /o/, u /u/. *'''003.''' The Senjecan vowel can be either long or short. The long vowels are indicated by a doubling of the letter, ii, ee, aa, øø, oo, and uu. The quality of the long vowel is not changed, but it is pronounced for a longer time than the short vowel. *'''004.''' The consonants are divided, according to the organs of speech by which they are produced, into plosives or stops, spirants or fricatives, and sonorants. In Senjecas these organs include the lips (labials), the teeth (dentals), the alveolus (alveolars), and the palate (palatals). Each consonant may be either voiced or unvoiced. There are no geminate consonants. *'''005.''' Plosives are produced by the complete closing of the organ of speech. These plosives are: **Labials: p/b **Dentals: t/d **Alveolars: ć/ź **Palatals: ĸ/g *'''006.''' Spirants are produced by an incomplete closing of the organ of speech. These spirants are: **Labials: f/v **Dentals: þ/ð **Alveolars: s/z **Palatals: x/q *'''007.''' Sonorants are produced by a relatively free flow of air. These sonorants are: **Labials: ɱ/m **Dentals: ł/l **Alveolars: r/n **Palatals: ħ/ȝ *'''008.''' Labialization of a consonant is indicated by the use of <w>: <font color=blue>gŭénus</font>, woman. *'''009.''' Palatalization of a consonant is indicated by the use of <j>: <font color=blue>nĭógus</font>, nephew. *'''010.''' Labialized and palatalized consonants are ordered immediately after the letter they affect, e.g., s, sj, sw, z, etc. *'''011.''' There are three other graphemes used in Senjecas which are not considered to be separate letters. **The <font color=blue>líve</font> (weak e, ë) is used to prevent disallowed consonant clusters (<font color=blue>łérnësos</font>, torch). **The <font color=blue>lívi</font> (weak i, ï) is used when a palatalized consonant is followed by a consonant (<font color=blue>ĸórĭa</font>, wage war; <font color=blue>ĸòrïnaaúsos</font>, warship. **The <font color=blue>lívu</font> (weak u, ü) is used when a labialized consonant is followed by a consonant (<font color=blue>óĸŭos</font>, eye; <font color=blue>òĸüкáðos</font>, eyelid). ==§2. Accentuation <font color=blue>sŭenĸŭéras</font>== *'''012.''' If the following rules are borne in mind, it is regularly possible to pronounce a Senjecan word at sight with the pitch on the proper syllable, or to write it correctly upon hearing it spoken. *'''013.''' In many modern languages, such as English, the accent is known as stress accent in which the accented syllable is pronounced more intensely than the other syllables. In Senjecas, as in some modern languages, the accent is known as register pitch accent in which the vowel of the primary syllable is pronounced on a higher pitch. This is called intonation. There are three pitches in Senjecas, the primary, the secondary, and the basal. These are relative pitches and their absolute pitch will vary with the individual speaker. *'''014.''' Two diacritics are used in Senjecas to mark the pitch, an acute accent to mark the primary pitch, and a grave accent to mark the secondary. *'''015.''' For purposes of accentuation, Senjecan words are placed into two categories: those which take the primary pitch (verbs, nouns, adjectives, and interjections) and those which do not (the other words). *'''016.''' Monosyllables, except for interjections and numerals, are pronounced on the basal pitch. *'''017.''' The primary pitch regularly stands on the penult. When the verb is finite, the accent remains on the penult, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>mümúda</font>. With the participles, the accent is shifted so as to remain on the stem vowel, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>múdantis, múdaþis</font>. **The primary pitch may not be any farther back than the antepenult. Therefore, when the participles are declined in the plural, the accent must be shifted forward. The primary accent is then replaced by the secondary accent, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>múdaþus, mùdaþúes</font>. **Nouns and adjectives take the primary pitch on the penult, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ćólos</font>, front; <font color=blue>gúúngos</font>, shin; <font color=blue>hagúlos</font>, gum. When they are declined in the plural, the primary accent remains on the penult, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ćolóes</font>, fronts; <font color=blue>hàgulóes</font>, gums. **When nouns and/or adjectives are compounded, the root word retains the primary pitch while the primary pitches of the prefixed words are changed to secondary accents, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ðùsloṁȝèèxṁidáágus</font>, veterinary. **Some monosyllables attach themselves so closely to the preceding word that they lose their own accent. These are called enclitics and comprise an exception to the regular accent pattern. They include the conjunction <font color=blue>-ĸŭe</font>, and, and the disjunction <font color=blue>-ɱo</font>, or, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁirúesĸŭe gŭenúesĸŭe</font>, men and women. *'''018.''' These pitchs are neither grammatical nor lexical, therefore the substitution of stress accent is allophonic. ==§3. Lenition and Phonotactics <font color=blue>méldŭasĸŭe sŭentágasĸŭe</font>== *'''019.''' Senjecan linguists speak of two types of consonants, male and female. **The occlusives <font color=blue>p/b, t/d, ĸ/g</font> and <font color=blue>ć/ź</font> are male consonants; they must undergo lenition when followed by another consonant. **The fricatives <font color=blue>f/v, þ/ð, x/ϙ</font> and <font color=blue>s/z</font> and the approximants <font color=blue>ṁ/m, ł,l, r/n</font> and <font color=blue>h/j</font> are female. They do not undergo lenition. *'''020.''' Only consonant clusters of two consonants are permitted in Senjecas. *'''021.''' When it happens that the addition of a morpheme would result in a three-consonant cluster, an epenthetic <font color=blue>ë</font> is inserted for euphony, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>álvis</font>, barley; <font color=blue>àlvëȝósos</font>, barley broth. This epenthetic <font color=blue>ë</font> is ordered after '''e''' in an alphabetical listing. *'''022.''' Consonant clusters cannot contain two stops, ''e.g.'', '''gb'''. In order to prevent this, when a morpheme with an initial stop is added to a base with a final stop, the final stop is muted to the corresponding affricate. Thus, <font color=blue>odégos</font>, stem, + <font color=blue>bólos</font>, lump, = <font color=blue>òdeϙbólos</font>, tuber. ==§4. Elision <font color=blue>dúúras</font>== *'''023.''' Elision is the omission of a word-final vowel when the next word begins with a vowel. The two words are written separately and an apostrophe marks the omission. **Elision occurs with the negating adverbs <font color=blue>ne</font> and <font color=blue>me</font>, which are always elided with a following initial vowel, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>n' ìðu</font>, not here. **Elision occurs when the final vowel of a word is the same as the initial vowel of the following word, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>o ṁum ćèmelósĭ' en' ápa</font>, our father in heaven. **Elision occurs when a postposition is followed by a word beginning with a vowel, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>nùes vènoðvi óóćo ferávom ant' éra</font>, they are paddling futilely against the swift current. ==§5. Syllabification <font color=blue>sŭènleeźósĭo ṁérźas</font>== *'''024.''' A Senjecan word has as many syllables as it has vowels. There are no diphthongs in Senjecas. Each vowel is syllablic and the tone is placed on every vowel according to the rules for pitch. The last syllable is called the ultima. The syllable next to the last is called the penult(ima[te]). The one before the penult is called the antepenult(imate). *'''025.''' A single consonant between two vowels belongs to the following vowel, ''e.g.''<font color=blue>, a-pé-los</font>, force. *'''026.''' Two contiguous consonants are separated with the first consonant going with the preceding syllable, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>sél-ĸŭes</font>, seal. *'''027.''' When dividing words at the end of a line, a long vowel may be divided, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ĸaavró-ógos</font>, peppercorn. ==§6. Punctuation <font color=blue>páкas</font>== *'''028.''' The following punctuation is used in Senjecas: **An interpunct (⋅) (<font color=blue>tèlpëźéénos</font>) is used instead of spaces between words. This is no longer used in contemporary scripts, although it may be seen in formal writing. **The function of the comma, used to set off dependent clauses, is taken by a dash or hyphen (—) (<font color=blue>ĸŭiilźéénos</font>). **The function of the period is taken by two raised dots (:) (<font color=blue>dusźéénos</font>). **The end of a paragraph is marked by three dots (⋮) (<font color=blue>mììnënemĸéérĸŭos</font>). **Neither quotation marks nor question marks are used. **Because capital letters are not used in the Senjecan alphabets, capital letters are not used when the language is transliterated.

The primary function of the stative case is to limit the meaning of a substantive, ''i.e.'', to state the position of a thing or an idea, either literally or figuratively. Other uses include the partitive idea or the idea of separation or source. **b. A substantive in the stative case may limit the meaning of another substantive, to express various relations, many of which are denoted by "of" or by the possessive case in English. ====The Stative with Nouns <font color=blue>noomnóm sùna stààȝëȝétas</font>==== *'''186'''.

Postpositions are independent words that connect words in a sentence with other parts of the sentence. These connecting words are placed after the nouns they govern. Depending on what is connected, the objects of postpositions are in either the motive or the stative case. If the postposition indicates a change in position, literally or figuratively, the object of the postposition is in the motive case. If the postposition does not indicate a change in position, the object of the postposition is in the stative case.

Verbs <font color=blue>ùfṁeróes</font>== ===Voice <font color=blue>líígos</font>=== *'''223'''. Voice indicates the relation of the verbal action to the subject. *'''224'''. In the active voice the subject is represented as acting. The same verb may be both transitive and intransitive. There are no deponent verbs. '''I close my eyes.''' {| |<font color=blue>m-us</font> |<font color=blue>m-ùsĭ-'</font> |<font color=blue>óкŭ-on</font> |<font color=blue>árg-a:</font> |- |1-NO.sg |1-ST.sg |eye-MO.pl |shut-IND |} ===Tense <font color=blue>ténas</font>=== *'''225'''. Tense designates the time of an action as present, past or future. These tenses designate habitual action. The unmarked verb is in the present tense. For the past tense, the particle <font color=blue>per</font> is placed immediately before the verb. For the future tense, the particle <font color=blue>pos</font> is placed immediately before the verb. *'''226'''. The verb <font color=blue>púda</font>, be busy, with the supine is used periphrastically to form the progressive tenses which emphasize that the action is taking place as the speaker speaks.

Aspect designates whether an action is complete or incomplete, ''i.e.'', perfective or imperfective. Aspects are coupled with the tenses to indicate the time and the character of an action. These indications are as follows: **a. Present imperfective: customary or repeated action going on in present time. **b. Past imperfective: customary or repeated action that went on in past time. **c. Future imperfective: customary or repeated action that will go on in future time. **d. Present perfective: action begun in the past and completed by the present time. **e. Past perfective: action begun in the past and completed in the past. **f. Future perfective: action that will begin in the future and be completed in the future. ===Mood <font color=blue>mínas</font>=== *'''228'''. Mood indicates the attitude of the speaker toward what he is saying. There are four moods in Senjecas. **The indicative mood (marked by <font color=blue>-a</font>) is used in simple assertions or negations and in questions or exclamations which include or concern such assertions, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>nus ṁéna</font>, he loves; <font color=blue>nus ṁïṁéna</font>, he has loved; <font color=blue>tus кŭum ṁénar</font>, whom do you love? The negating adverb is <font color=blue>ne</font> and is postverbal, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>nus ṁéna ne</font>, he does not love. **The subjunctive mood (marked by <font color=blue>-o</font>) is used in statements of uncertainty and in those contrary-to-fact. The negating adverb is <font color=blue>me</font>. It is used in many subordinate clauses. A subordinate clause always precedes the independent clause. The subject of the subordinate verb is in the motive case. Dependent clauses are separated from the main clause by a dash. **The imperative mood (marked by <font color=blue>-e</font>) is used to express commands and prohibitions, exhortations and entreaties. The negating adverb is <font color=blue>me</font>. ===Subjunctive Subordinate Clauses <font color=blue>nṁééro nðèrëréźo ȝèxmiinlóes</font>=== *'''229'''. A subordinate clause does not express a complete thought and is, therefore, attached to an independent clause. Although a subordinate clause contains a subject and a predicate, it sounds incomplete when standing alone. Generally, the verb in a subordinate clause is in the subjunctive mood and the subject is in the motive case. There are four types of subordinate clauses in Senjecas that use the subjunctive mood. *'''230'''. Object clauses of fearing.

Conditional clauses (protasis) are introduced by the conjunction <font color=blue>nùsi</font> and (with one exception) have their verb in the subjunctive mood. The main clause (apodosis) is introduced by the conjunction <font color=blue>toààri</font> and is in the subjunctive mood. **The one exception is that Present General sentences have their verbs in the indicative mood and their subjects in the nominative case for they describe conditions that are true, ''e.g.'', If I am king (''and I am''), then you are queen, <font color=blue>nùsi mus normèhasúrus móla—toààri tus iiméhasúrus móla.</font> **In other situations, the verb in the protasis is in the subjunctive mood, ''e.g.'', If she is here now, I am glad, <font color=blue>nùsi num ìðu nùu mólo—toáári mus кŭíítus móla.</font> **Future More-Vivid sentences express future results of probable or expected conditions.

A relative clause is one which modifies a substantive. As a modifier it precedes the substantive it modifies. In Senjecas a relative clause is translated by a participial phrase. **The clause (in English) may be introduced by a relative pronoun: ***<font color=blue>ìðu ṁéésantu ṁírus</font>, the man who (that) lives here ***<font color=blue>tus ðïðéȝanto кàϙvaalíȝos</font>, the book <font color=red>which</font> you have read ***<font color=blue>móðr' oкŭóes nùsĭ' o ésantu gŭénus</font>, the woman whose eyes are blue ***<font color=blue>mus num ṁénantu súúnus</font>, the son <font color=red>whom</font> I love **or by a relative adverb: ***<font color=blue>mus nòsĭ' èna ṁéésa ṁéésos</font>, the house <font color=red>where</font> I live ***<font color=blue>mus nòsĭ' èna per źéénŭa méénsos</font>, the month <font color=red>when</font> I was born. ===Supine <font color=blue>ùfṁernóómnos</font>=== *'''239'''. As there are no infinitives or gerunds in Senjecas, a form of the verb in <font color=blue>-u</font> is used in their place. This form is called the [[wikipedia:supine|supine]].

The participle is a verbal adjective, in function partaking of the nature of verb and adjective. *'''248'''. There are two participles in Senjecas, the agent and the patient. Each of these occurs in all the moods. **The agent participle is formed by suffixing <font color=blue>-ntis</font> to the mood root. The agent participle describes that which it modifies as acting, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁénantis</font>, loving, as in <font color=blue>ṁénantu ápas</font>, loving father. **The patient participle is formed by suffixing <font color=blue>-þis</font> to the mood root. The patient participle describes that which it modifies as being acted upon, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁénaþis</font>, beloved, as in <font color=blue>ṁénaþu ápas</font>, beloved father. ====Participles as Substantives <font color=blue>nèmṁeróes ùfnoomnóes</font>==== *'''249'''. As with any adjective, participles may take the <font color=blue>-us</font> ending and function as nouns, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>ṁénantus</font>, lover; <font color=blue>ṁénaþus</font>, beloved. It is then equivalent to "he who, they who, that which, etc.," in English. '''He who is speaking is my father.''' {| |<font color=blue>ȝéк-ant-us</font> |<font color=blue>m-ùsĭ'</font> |<font color=blue>áp-as</font> |<font color=blue>és-a:</font> |- |speak-APCP-NO.sg |1-ST.sg |father-NO.sg |be-IND |} *'''250'''. As an adjective, the participle may be modified by an adverb, ''e.g.'', <font color=blue>sùsvi ṁénaþu ápas</font>, well-beloved father. ====Absolute Constructions <font color=blue>nvènðëmínlos</font>==== *'''251'''. A noun or pronoun and a participle not grammatically connected with the main construction of the sentence stand by themselves in what is called an absolute construction. The noun or pronoun may not refer to the subject of the sentence. *'''252'''. When the absolute construction describes a non-motion event, the construction is in the stative case. '''When he was prince, we were happy.''' {| |<font color=blue>n-ùsĭo</font> |<font color=blue>àsur-úsĭo</font> |<font color=blue>per</font> |<font color=blue>ès-ant-úsĭo</font> |<font color=blue>ṁ-ùes</font> |<font color=blue>sùsvag-úes</font> |<font color=blue>per</font> |<font color=blue>mól-a:</font> |- |3.ST.sg |prince-ST.sg |PPTCL |be-APCP-ST.sg |1-NO.pl |happy-NO.pl |PPTCL |be-IND |} '''While they are eating, the chorus is singing.''' {| |<font color=blue>n-uùm</font> |<font color=blue>ed-ant-úm</font> |<font color=blue>senḷ-úes</font> |<font color=blue>sénḷ-a:</font> |- |3-ST.pl |eat-APCP-ST.pl |sing-NO.pl |sing-IND |} *'''253'''.

Conjunctions <font color=blue>ϙòðɱeróes</font>== *'''254'''. Co-ordinating conjunctions are used to join elements within the sentence.

Direct Quotations <font color=blue></font>== *'''256'''. Direct quotations are treated as independent sentences according to §254. For greater emphasis the adverb <font color=blue>ṁèrvi</font>, "verbatim" may be used. <font color=blue>« »</font> is the preferred form for quotation marks. When written a dash is used to link the independent clauses. '''I said, "I will go to the store."''' {| |<font color=blue>m-us</font> |(<font color=blue>ṁèr-vi</font>) |<font color=blue>pos</font> |<font color=blue>éég-a</font>― |«<font color=blue>m-us</font> |<font color=blue>ĸŭèrï-dém-om</font> |<font color=blue>o</font> |<font color=blue>per</font> |<font color=blue>át-a:</font>» |- |1p-NO.sg |(word-ADV) |PPTCL |say-IND― |1p-NO.sg |buy-place-MO.sg |to |FPTCL |go-IND |} ==§12. Interrogative Sentences <font color=blue>pérĸo ȝèxmiinóes</font>== *'''257'''. A lexically marked question is one that contains an interrogative pronoun, pronominal adjective or adverb. This type of question does not take the interrogative suffix <font color=blue>-r</font>. Note that an interrogative adverb is placed in an adverb's position, which is not necessarily sentence initial. '''Who is coming across the field?''' {| |<font color=blue>кŭ-us</font> |<font color=blue>árź-om</font> |<font color=blue>òlna</font> |<font color=blue>gŭém-a:</font> |- |who-NO.sg |field-MO.sg |across |come-IND |} '''When will the cobbler return those tools?''' {| |<font color=blue>кèrp-ë-кŭér-us</font> |<font color=blue>ṁéél-on</font> |<font color=blue>d-on</font> |<font color=blue>кŭum</font> |<font color=blue>pos</font> |<font color=blue>ṁer-dóón-a:</font> |- |shoe-EP-make-NO.sg |tool-MO.pl |this-MO.pl |when |FPTCL |back-give-IND |} *'''258'''.

The interrogative suffix <font color=blue>-r</font>, added to the modal base of the verb, is used to mark questions that are not marked lexically. It implies nothing as to the answer expected. There is no alteration of the pitchs. '''Do you drink wine?''' {| |<font color=blue>t-us</font> |<font color=blue>ṁoín-om</font> |<font color=blue>póóȝ-a-r</font> |- |2-NO.sg |wine-MO.sg |drink-IND-Q |} *In answering this type of question, "yes" and "no" are not used.

Tsakxa animacy 8535 58231 2010-12-02T20:01:22Z Welshy 1312 '''Animacy''' in [[Tsakxa]] is a quality ascribed to noun stems. Although mostly consistent and predictable, the animacy system also has aspects of an honorific system. Although Dawkins (1999) uses the term 'animacy', this is a very loose classification, since the classification is to a degree fluid and numerous actually animate or inanimate nouns fall into the wrong category. == Predictable animacy == Animacy is mostly predictable. Humans, gods, body parts and certain natural forces (wind, fire etc) are animate. Animals associated with gods are animate, other animals are not. Place names are animate. Children are always considered inanimate in adult speech, although children refer to themselves as animates amongst themselves (see below for an explanation of animacy as a feature of honorific speech). The animacy of the main argument determines what agreement prefix is used: : ''Mama su te-tanxa'' - I saw a man (person 1ps ABS[ANIM]<super>-3</super>-see<super>0</super>:PERF<super>3</super> : ''Kut su se-tanxa'' - I saw a rock (rock 1ps ABS[INANIM]<super>-3</super>-see<super>0</super>:PERF<super>3</super> == Animacy as a mark of respect == However, in honorific speech, used towards one's elders, animacy becomes more fluid. The listener is treated as grammatically animate, but the speaker may treat himself as grammatically inanimate: : ''Sasa, asu sewala'' - grandfather, I'm listening Children are always referred to as inanimates by adults, which is believed to be the root of this system (the individual is reducing themselves to the level of a child before the superior knowledge of the elder person): : ''Rutu tata aʔ-a-kxa se-paʔ-anxa'' - Rutu's father hit him However, amongst themselves children refer to themselves using the animate. It is only to express respect to their elders (i.e. their parents) that they use the inanimate to talk about themselves.

It is extremely conservative in comparison to some other Romance languages. =Writing system= ==Alphabet== Vulgarian is written with the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, with four diacritics appearing on vowels (circumflex accent, acute accent, grave accent, diaeresis) and the t-comma (ț). Letters typically have the same values as in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Further details are explained below. ===Diacritics=== :*The acute accent and the grave accent indicate that a vowel is stressed, and also the quality of the accented vowel, more precisely its height: ''é'' (/e/), ''í'' (/i/), ''ó'' (/o/), and ''ú'' (/u/) are low vowels, while ''à'' (/a/), ''è'' (/ɛ/), and ''ò'' (/ɔ/) are high vowels. :*The grave accent (either ''â'' or ''î'') doesn't change the quality of the vowel in standard pronunciation; it serves to accommodate regional pronunciation in Lenòmia, where both letters are pronounced as a close central unrounded vowel ([ɨ]). They can be either stressed (''ângelo'', ''restrîngere'') or unstressed (''încontrare'', ''cântamos''). :*The diaresis (over ''ü'') appears in the digraphs ''qü'' and ''gü'' before ''e'' or ''i'' and indicates a voiced labiovelar approximant (/w/) in standard pronunciation. Over the dialects, it can be silent or, especially in Lenòmia, pronounced as [v]. :*T-comma ‹ț› represents the voiceless alveolar affricate (/ts/). ===Digraphs=== :*CH: voiceless velar plosive (/k/). :*GU: occurs before ''e'' and ''i'' and represents the voiced velar plosive (/g/). :*GÜ: occurs before ''e'' and ''i'' and represents the voiced velar plosive plus (/g/) plus a voiced labiovelar approximant (/w/). :*LH: palatal lateral approximant (/ʎ/). :*NH: palatal nasal (/ɲ/). :*PH: voiceless labiodental fricative (/f/). :*QU: occurs before ''e'' and ''i'' and represents the voiceless velar plosive (/k/). :*QÜ: occurs before ''e'' and ''i'' and represents the voiced velar plosive plus (/k/) plus a voiced labiovelar approximant (/w/). :*RR: occurs between vowels and represents the alveolar trill (/r/). :*SC: before ''e'' and ''i'', it represents a voiceless postalveolar fricative (/ʃ/) or does not form a digraph (/stʃ/). :*SS: occurs between vowels and represents the voiceless alveolar sibilant (/s/). :*TH: represents the voiceless alveolar plosive (/t/). ===Double letters=== With exception of ''rr'' and ''ss'', mentioned above, double letters are pronounced as if they were single letters. ===Letters whose pronunciation depend on their position in the word=== :*C: voiceless postalveolar affricate before ''e'' and ''i'' (/tʃ/); voiceless velar plosive elsewhere (/k/). :*G: voiced postalveolar fricative or affricate before ''e'' and ''i'' (/ʒ/ or /dʒ/); voiced velar plosive elsewhere (/g/). :*R: alveolar tap (/ɾ/) after vowels; alveolar trill elsewhere (/r/). :*S: voiced alveolar sibilant (/z/) between vowels; voiceless alveolar sibilant elsewhere (/s/). ===Other letters that differ from IPA=== :*H: when it is not part of a [[Vulgarian#Digraphs|digraph]], it is silent. :*J: voiced postalveolar fricative or affricate (/ʒ/ or /dʒ/). :*W: voiced labiodental fricative (/v/). :*X: velar plosive plus alveolar sibilant (/gz/ or /ks/). :*Y: close front unrounded vowel (/i/). :*Z: voiced alveolar fricative or affricate (/z/ or /dz/). ==Stress and accentuation== The default stress is on the penultimate (next-to-last) syllable on words that end in a vowel, ‹n› or ‹s› and on the final syllable when the word ends in any consonant other than ‹n› or ‹s›. Words that do not follow the default stress have an accent over the stressed vowel. Such an accent can be acute, for low vowels, or grave, for high vowels. Vulgarian rules count syllables, not vowels, to assign written accents. A syllable is of the form ''XaXX'', where ''X'' represents a consonant, permissible consonant blend, or no sound at all and ''a'' represents a vowel, diphthong, or triphthong. Diphthongs and triphthongs are any combination of two and three vowels, respectively. Hence, Vulgarian writes ''familia'' (ending with a diphthong) but ''línea'' (the default stress would be on ''e'' as it does not form a diphthong). Furthermore, the high vowels ''è'' and ''ò'' always have a grave accent in stressed position, even when the stress is understood, as in ''pède'' or ''nòvo''. If not specifically marked, the stressed vowels ''e'' and ''o'' are otherwise low by default. =Phonology= In this section, the phonology of the standard dialect is described. ==Vowels== {|class="wikitable" |- ! &nbsp; !

Quândo han partito de l'oriente, han encontrato una planura în lo paese de Senar e allà se han estabilescito. E han dicto los unos à los altros: Venite, faciamos ladrillos e cociamo-los con fòco. E los ladrillos lis han servito de pètra e lo bitume de cemento. Despós han dicto: Venite, construamo-nos una ciutate e una turren, lo cúlmine de la quale arribe à lo cèlo, e faciamo-nos famosos, à fine de que non nos dispersemos supre tota la tèrra. Però lo Senhore ha descenduto à fine de védere la ciutate e la turren que los filhos de los hòmines construiban. E lo Senhore ha dicto: Illes son un solo pòpulo e parlan una sola lingua; aqüesto é lo que han cominciato fàcere. À hora nullo non los va restríngere de fàcere toto que se propònian. Întúnqües descendamos e confundamos la lòro lingua, à fine de que non comprehendan mais la lingua los unos de los altros. E lo Senhore los ha dispersato de allà supre tota la tèrra; e han cessato de construire la ciutate. Per aqüesto aqüèsta ciutate se ha clamato Babèl, per que allà lo Senhore ha confunduto la lingua de tota la tèrra, e de allà lo Senhore los ha dispersato supre tota la tèrra. ==Lo Diminuto Príncepe== Quândo habeba seis annos, heio veduto, una vece, una magnífica imàgine, în un libro supre la forèsta vírgine que se clamaba "Històrias vivutas". Aqüesto representaba una serpente boa que înglutíba una fèra. Aqüèsta è la còpia de lo desinho: Se díceba în lo libro: "Las serpentes boas înglúton la lòro preda tota întègra, senza masticar-la. Despós non pòton mais mòver-se e dòrmon durante los seis meses de la lòro digestione". Heio întúnqües reflectito multo supre las aventuras de la jungla e, à la mea vece, heio reuscito, con un lapis de colore, à tracciare lo meo primo desinho. Èra assí: Heio monstrato la mea òpera maèstre à las personas grandes e lis qüestionaba si lo meo desinho lis faceba pavore. Èllas me han responduto: "Per que un ciappèllo faceba pavore?" Lo meo desinho non representaba un ciappèllo. Representaba una serpente boa que digeriba un elephante. Heio întúnqües desinhato l'interiore de la boa, à fine de que las personas grandes pòtan comprehéndere. À toto tèmpo han necessitate de explicaționes. ==Sànscrito== La lingua sànscrita, qualsía sua antiqüitate, è de una estructura meravilhosa; mais perfecta que lo grèco, mais rica que lo latine, e mais exqüisitamente refinata que totas las dos, si bène que ha con las dos una affinitate mais fòrte, atânto în las radicinas de los verbos quânto în las formas de grammàtica, que potereba habere estato producito per accidente. Atânto de fòrte, în facto, que nullo philòlogo potereba examinare totas las tres, senza crédere que han originato de una fònte commune, que, pòte-èssere, non mais existe. Ha una raţione similare, si bène que non atânto de fòrte, per presuppónere que atânto lo gòthico quânto lo cèlta, si bène que mesclatos con una lingua multo differente, habian lo metésimo orígine que lo sànscrito; e l'antiquo pèrsa potereba èssere aggregato à la metésima familia.

It employs a [[Wikipedia:Vowel_harmony|vowel-]][[Wikipedia:Consonant_harmony|consonant harmony]]. =Phonology= As Nesnïdathe makes extensive use of assimilation every word belongs to a class and it must only use phonemes that belong to that class (The only exception is the '''chain class''', which will be explained below). ==Classes== There are five classes. A word that belongs to any of these classes can have only the characters allowed for its class. The classes are: * '''Class I''': Only labial consonants and rounded vowels. Example: ''molpühu {{IPA|[moɫˈpyhu]}}''; * '''Class II''': Only dental/coronal consonants and unrounded vowels. Example: ''dïtani {{IPA|[ˈdɯt̪ani]}}''; * '''Class III''': Only palatal consonants and front vowels. Example: ''lyetsyödya {{IPA|[ʎeˈtɕœɟa]}}''; * '''Class IV''': Only velar consonants and back vowels. Example: ''kwuknhëlha {{IPA|[kwu'kⁿʌɫa]}}''; * '''Chain Class''': This is a special class that will require a separate section in order to explain it. As can be seen above there are some characters that do not belong to any class, and so can be in any word regardless of its class. They are '''a {{IPA|[a]}}''', '''h {{IPA|[h]}}''' and '''hl {{IPA|[ɬ]}}'''. ===Chain Class=== There is a strange property in chain class words. These words do not belong to a specific class, they can change between classes but there '''must''' be a link between these classes. In order to create those links one must make use of vowels that belong to two different classes. For instance, '''e''' is a front unrounded vowel so one can change from class II (unrounded vowels) to class III (front vowels). ==Consonants== As written above there are 4 kinds of consonants (labial, dental/coronal, palatal and velar) and each of these kinds belongs to one of the word classes (except chain class). These consonants are divided in three groups: uniconsonantal, biconsonantal and triconsonantal clusters. ===Uniconsonantal=== The uniconsonantal group is divided in five subgroups: [[Wikipedia:Voiceless|voiceless]] [[Wikipedia:Stop_consonant|stop]], [[Wikipedia:Voiced_consonant|voiced]] stop, [[Wikipedia:Fricative_consonant|fricative]], [[Wikipedia:Lateral_consonant|lateral]] and [[Wikipedia:Nasal_consonant|nasal]]. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Class''' || '''Labial''' || '''Dental''' || '''Palatal''' || '''Velar''' |- | '''Vl.

It is important to note that due to [[Wikipedia:Sandhi|sandhi]] and [[Wikipedia:Allophone|allophony]] some biconsonantal clusters are pronounced as a single phoneme (transliteration, in order to simplify the reading, can also represent the sound with a single consonant or with two or more consonants that suggest a single phoneme). {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Class''' || '''Labial''' || '''Dental''' || '''Palatal''' || '''Velar''' |- | '''Vl. + S''' || ps {{IPA|[ps]}} || ts {{IPA|[ts]}} || tsy {{IPA|[tɕ]}} || x {{IPA|[ks]}} |- | '''Vl. + L''' || pw {{IPA|[pw]}} || tl {{IPA|[t̪l̪]}} || tly {{IPA|[cʎ]}} || kw¹ {{IPA|[kw]}} |- | '''Vl. + N''' || pm {{IPA|[pⁿ]}} || tn {{IPA|[t̪ⁿ]}} || tny {{IPA|[cⁿ]}} || knh {{IPA|[kⁿ]}} |- | '''S + Vl.''' || sp {{IPA|[sp]}} || st {{IPA|[st̪]}} || sty {{IPA|[sc]}} || sk {{IPA|[sk]}} |- | '''L + Vl.''' || lp¹ {{IPA|[ɫp]}} || lt {{IPA|[l̪t̪]}} || lty {{IPA|[ʎc]}} || lk {{IPA|[ɫk]}} |- | '''N + Vl.''' || mp {{IPA|[mp]}} || nt {{IPA|[n̪t̪]}} || nty {{IPA|[ɲc]}} || nk {{IPA|[ŋk]}} |- | '''S + Vd.''' || sb {{IPA|[sb]}} || sd {{IPA|[sd̪]}} || sdy {{IPA|[sɟ]}} || sg {{IPA|[sg]}} |- | '''L + Vd.''' || lb¹ {{IPA|[ɫb]}} || ld {{IPA|[l̪d̪]}} || ldy {{IPA|[ʎɟ]}} || lg {{IPA|[ɫg]}} |- | '''N + Vd.''' || mb {{IPA|[mb]}} || nd {{IPA|[n̪d̪]}} || ndy {{IPA|[ɲɟ]}} || ng {{IPA|[ŋg]}} |- | '''H + Vl.²''' || hp {{IPA|[hp]}} || ht {{IPA|[ht̪]}} || hty {{IPA|[hc]}} || hk {{IPA|[hk]}} |} ¹Due to allophony L + labial stop uses ɫ instead of w as the prestop lateral sound and velar stop + L uses w instead of ɫ as the poststop lateral sound.<br> ²Due to allophony hp, ht̪, hc and hk, when preceded by a front vowel, are pronounced çp, çt̪, çc and çk respectively. ===Triconsonantal=== This is the rarest consonantal cluster. It is divided in 9 groups: s + vl. + s, s + vl. + l, s + vl. + n, l + vl. + s, l + vl. + l, l + vl. + n, n + vl. + s, n + vl. + l and n + vl. + n (see biconsonantal encoding). Almost every triconsonantal cluster is pronounced as a double consonant sound due to allophony and difficulty in pronouncing triconsonantal clusters. Lots of allophonic changes happen in triconsonantal clusters, but no special subtitles will be created as it was done to biconsonantal clusters. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Class''' || '''Labial''' || '''Dental''' || '''Palatal''' || '''Velar''' |- | '''S + Vl. + S''' || sps {{IPA|[sps]}} || ss {{IPA|[sː]}} || ssy {{IPA|[ɕː]}} || sx {{IPA|[sks]}} |- | '''S + Vl. + L''' || spw {{IPA|[spw]}} || sl {{IPA|[sl̪]}} || sly {{IPA|[sʎ]}} || skw {{IPA|[skw]}} |- | '''S + Vl. + N''' || sm {{IPA|[sm]}} || sn {{IPA|[sn̪]}} || sny {{IPA|[sɲ]}} || snh {{IPA|[sŋ]}} |- | '''L + Vl. + S''' || lps {{IPA|[ɫps]}} || ls {{IPA|[ls]}} || lsy {{IPA|[lɕ]}} || lx {{IPA|[ɫks]}} |- | '''L + Vl. + L''' || lpw {{IPA|[ɫpw]}} || ll {{IPA|[l̪ː]}} || lly {{IPA|[ʎː]}} || lkw {{IPA|[ɫkw]}} |- | '''L + Vl. + N''' || lm {{IPA|[ɫm]}} || ln {{IPA|[l̪n̪]}} || lny {{IPA|[ʎɲ]}} || lnh {{IPA|[ɫŋ]}} |- | '''N + Vl. + S''' || mps {{IPA|[mps]}} || ns {{IPA|[n̪s]}} || nsy {{IPA|[nɕ]}} || nx {{IPA|[ŋks]}} |- | '''N + Vl. + L''' || mpw {{IPA|[mpw]}} || ntl {{IPA|[n̪t̪l̪]}} || ntly {{IPA|[ɲcʎ]}} || nkw {{IPA|[ŋkw]}} |- | '''N + Vl. + N''' || mm {{IPA|[mː]}} || nn {{IPA|[n̪ː]}} || nny {{IPA|[ɲː]}} || nnh {{IPA|[ŋː]}} |} ===Classless Consonants=== As stated in section '''Classes''' there are two classless consonants: '''h {{IPA|[h]}}'''¹ and '''hl {{IPA|[ɬ]}}'''.<br> ¹'''h''' is pronounced '''{{IPA|[ɸ]}}''' when it is followed by rounded vowels. ==Vowels== The vowels are divided in four groups: rounded, unrounded, front and back. There is a vowel, which is called a neutral vowel because it does not belong to any group: '''a {{IPA|[a]}}'''. Each non-neutral vowel belongs to two groups. The only two group combination which are prohibited are ''unrounded rounded'' and ''front back'' because they are opposing features. Each group has three subgroups: mid vowel, close vowel and diphthong. The only open vowel is the neutral vowel. In stressed syllables the mid vowel is pronounced as a mid-open vowel. It is pronounced as a mid-close vowel otherwise. ===Unrounded Front=== These vowels can be surrounded by dental/coronal (unrounded feature) and palatal consonants (front feature). {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Group''' || |- | '''stressed mid''' || e¹ {{IPA|[ɛ]}} |- | '''unstressed mid''' || e¹ {{IPA|[e]}} |- | '''close''' || i {{IPA|[i]}} |- | '''diphthong''' || ai {{IPA|[aɪ̯]}} |} ¹The unstressed mid and stressed mid vowels represent the same vowel. Its pronunciation only depends on the place where it lies in a word, thus the transliteration uses the same character. ===Unrounded Back=== These vowels can be surrounded by dental/coronal (unrounded feature) and velar consonants (back feature). {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Group''' || |- | '''stressed mid''' || ë {{IPA|[ʌ]}} |- | '''unstressed mid''' || ë {{IPA|[ɤ]}} |- | '''close''' || ï {{IPA|[ɯ]}} |- | '''diphthong''' || aï {{IPA|[aɯ̯̽]}} |} ===Rounded Front=== These vowels can be surrounded by labial (rounded feature) and palatal consonants (front feature). {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Group''' || |- | '''stressed mid''' || ö¹ {{IPA|[œ]}} |- | '''unstressed mid''' || ö¹ {{IPA|[ø]}} |- | '''close''' || ü¹ {{IPA|[y]}} |- | '''diphthong''' || aü {{IPA|[aʏ̯]}} |} ¹Due to allophony, when preceding or following a /w/ sound the /w/ sound is pronounced {{IPA|[ɥ]}}. For instance, wü is pronounced {{IPA|[ɥy]}}, kwü is pronounced {{IPA|[kɥy]}}, müwa is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈmyɥa]}} and pwö is pronounced {{IPA|[pɥø]}} when unstressed and {{IPA|[pɥœ]}} otherwise. ===Rounded Back=== These vowels can be surrounded by labial (rounded feature) and velar consonants (back feature). {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Group''' || |- | '''stressed mid''' || o {{IPA|[ɔ]}} |- | '''unstressed mid''' || o {{IPA|[o]}} |- | '''close''' || u {{IPA|[u]}} |- | '''diphthong''' || au {{IPA|[aʊ̯]}} |} ==Stress== The stressed syllable is the one of the following: * The one with a diphthong; * If there is no diphthong and there is a bi- or triconsonantal cluster in the last or next-to-last syllable, then the stressed syllable is the next-to-last syllable; * If none of the above conditions are met, the stressed syllable is the third-from-last. ==Connecting Words== =Phonotactics= Every syllable is of the type CV, where C is a consonantal cluster and V is a vowel. There is no word beginning with a vowel. There are only 3 biconsonantal clusters per class that can be in the beginning of a word. They are: vl. stop + s, vl. stop + l and vl. stop + n, i.e. ps, pw and pm for '''class I'''; ts, tl and tn for '''class II'''; tsy, tly and tny for '''class III''', and x, kw and knh for '''class IV'''. Every single consonant can be in the beginning of a word. And there is no triconsonantal cluster capable of being in the beginning of a word. '''h''' and '''hl''' can also be the first characters of a word. There can only exist diphtongs in the last, in the next-to-last or in the third-from-last syllable. There will not exist a diphthong if there is a bi- or triconsonantal cluster after it. The vowels and consonants allowed to be used in a word highly depends on its class. One can indiscriminately use '''h''', '''hl''' and '''a''' in words from classes I to IV. The only constraint is not to use vowels and consonants that do not belong to the word class. '''a''' canNOT be used in chain class. If either '''h''' or '''hl''' is present in a chain class word it must be between two vowels which share both features ([[Wikipedia:Roundedness|roundedness]] and [[Wikipedia:Back_vowel|backness]]). ==Examples== ===Valid=== * '''hlömöböphü''': Class I (labial consonants). Use of rounded vowels in Class I word. ''hl'' can be used. * '''nhaga''': Class IV (velar consonants). No use of back vowels, but ''a'' used instead. ''a'' can be used in any class, except chain one. * '''xomogonko''': Besides only having the same vowel, '''o''', one can see that both '''m''' (a labial consonant) and '''g''' (a velar consonant) are present in this word, therefore it is a chain class word; * '''psopütye''': Chain Class (mixed consonants). Vowel-consonant harmony occurs between sequential syllables. ''a'' is not used. ===Chain Class Phonotactics=== * '''psopütye''' ** ''ps'': labial biconsonantal cluster; ** ''o'': rounded back vowel, thus harmonical with ''ps'' (a labial cluster); ** ''p'': labial consonant, thus harmonical with ''o'' (a rounded vowel); ** ''ü'': rounded front vowel, thus harmonical with ''p'' (a labial consonant); ** ''ty'': palatal consonant, thus harmonical with ''ü'' (a front vowel); ** ''e'': unrounded front vowel, thus harmonical with ''ty'' (a palatal consonant). ===Invalid=== * '''pwapwulnho''': '''pw''' and '''lnh''' in the same words means it is a chain class word, but there canNOT be an '''a''' in it. Therefore it is invalid; * '''taïlïnde''': Class II, but a diphthong ('''aï''') and a biconsonantal cluster after it ('''nd'''); * '''gohütlyöphö''': Chain Class ('''g''', '''tly''' and '''ph''' together) and an '''h''' between two vowel with different features, '''o''' is a back vowel and '''ü''' is a front one. =Parts of Speech= Except for [[Wikipedia:Grammatical_tense|tense]] [[Wikipedia:Grammatical_particle|particles]] every part of speech of Nesnïdathe is an [[Wikipedia:Open_word_classes|open word class]]. ==Nouns== Every noun root begins with a voiceless stop or with a biconsonantal cluster whose first character is a voiceless stop. Therefore the only initial uni- and biconsonantal clusters are '''p''', '''ps''', '''pw''' and '''pm''' for ''Class I''; '''t''', '''ts''', '''tl''' and '''tn''' for ''Class II''; '''ty''', '''tsy''', '''tly''' and '''tny''' for ''Class III'', and '''k''', '''x''', '''kw''' and '''knh''' for ''Class IV''. ''Chain class'' words can have any of these 16 (four classes times four clusters per class) clusters. ===Gender and Number=== Genderlessness is an important property of this language. The classes only exist for vowel-consonant harmony. There are four numbers: '''singular''', '''dual''', '''trial''' and '''plural'''. ===Cases=== The list of cases is yet incomplete. More cases will be discovered as new translations are made. The cases are represented as prefixes of the structure '''C<sub>1</sub>VC<sub>2</sub>''', C<sub>1</sub> is an initial cluster, V is a vowel and C<sub>2</sub> is one of the following elements: '''S''' (the [[Wikipedia:Sibilant_consonant|sibilant]]), '''L''' (the [[Wikipedia:Lateral_consonant|lateral]]) and '''N''' (the [[Wikipedia:Nasal_consonant|nasal]]). C<sub>1</sub> and C<sub>2</sub> are determined by the case and the class and V is determined by the number and the class. ====Case Vowels==== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Vowels''' || '''Singular''' || '''Dual''' || '''Trial''' || '''Plural''' |- | '''Class I''' || o || ü || ö || u |- | '''Class II''' || e || ï || ë || i |- | '''Class III''' || e || ü || ö || i |- | '''Class IV''' || o || ï || ë || u |} The vowels chosen for ''chain class'' words depends on the consonant in the beginning of the word. If it begins with a '''p''' then it uses '''Class I''' case vowel. ====List of Cases==== Both consonants of the prefix structure are determined by the case and the class. If a word is from the ''chain class'' then the initial cluster be of a different class.<br> For instance, nominative initial cluster is a '''nasal consonant'''. If its number is singular and the word root begins with '''p''', then the prefix constitutes of '''a nasal vowel + o'''. '''o''' allows this nasal consonant to be '''m''' or '''nh'''. '''m''' is not allowed because the word is a ''chain class'' one and its root begins with a labial consonant ('''p'''). Therefore, the prefix is '''nho'''. The case prefix is marked in '''bold'''. The root initial cluster and its modifications made by allophony are maked in <span style="color:#A00000">red</span>. =====Nominative===== It is used when the word is the '''subject''' or '''object''' of the sentence. It depends ''highly'' on the word order (see [[#Syntax|syntax]] part for further explanation). ======Example====== '''The girl''' sings '''a song'''. ======Base Prefix====== The base prefix is NVS (a nasal + the case vowel + the sibilant). ======Non-Chain Classes====== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | || '''Singular''' || '''Dual''' || '''Trial''' || '''Plural''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''mo<span style="color:#A00000">s'''pw</span>owa || '''mü<span style="color:#A00000">s'''pw</span>owa || '''mö<span style="color:#A00000">s'''pw</span>owa || '''mu<span style="color:#A00000">s'''pw</span>owa |- | '''Class II''' || '''ne<span style="color:#A00000">s'''s</span>ita || '''nï<span style="color:#A00000">s'''s</span>ita || '''në<span style="color:#A00000">s'''s</span>ita || '''ni<span style="color:#A00000">s'''s</span>ita |- | '''Class III''' || '''nye<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ly</span>achü || '''nyü<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ly</span>achü || '''nyö<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ly</span>achü || '''nyi<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ly</span>achü |- | '''Class IV''' || '''nho<span style="color:#A00000">s'''k</span>aku || '''nhï<span style="color:#A00000">s'''k</span>aku || '''nhë<span style="color:#A00000">s'''k</span>aku || '''nhu<span style="color:#A00000">s'''k</span>aku |} ======Chain Classes====== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Root begins with''' || '''Singular''' || '''Dual''' || '''Trial''' || '''Plural''' |- | '''Class I Cluster''' || '''nho<span style="color:#A00000">'''spw</span>ünyö || '''nyü<span style="color:#A00000">'''spw</span>ünyö || '''nyö<span style="color:#A00000">'''spw</span>ünyö || '''nhu<span style="color:#A00000">'''spw</span>ünyö |- | '''Class II Cluster''' || '''nye<span style="color:#A00000">s'''l</span>ïgu || '''nhï<span style="color:#A00000">s'''l</span>ïgu || '''nhë<span style="color:#A00000">s'''l</span>ïgu || '''nyi<span style="color:#A00000">s'''l</span>ïgu |- | '''Class III Cluster''' || '''ne<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ty</span>edë || '''mü<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ty</span>edë || '''mö<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ty</span>edë || '''ni<span style="color:#A00000">s'''ty</span>edë |- | '''Class IV Cluster''' || '''mo<span style="color:#A00000">s'''kw</span>ophü || '''nï<span style="color:#A00000">s'''kw</span>ophü || '''në<span style="color:#A00000">s'''kw</span>ophü || '''mu<span style="color:#A00000">s'''kw</span>ophü |} =====Ergative===== It is used when the word is the '''subject''' of the sentence, but it is used only in some specific cases (see [[#Syntax|syntax]] part for further explanation). ======Example====== '''The girl''' pushes ''the door'' and (''it'') closes.

More cases will be discovered as new translations are made. The determiners are represented as suffixes of the structure ''CV'', C is a cluster (uni-, bi- or triconsonantal, NOT necessarily initial) and V is a vowel. If adding the suffix implies in having a diphthong with a cluster after it, the diphthong is pronounced as a mid vowel with the same features. Example: nesl'''aï'''hë + '''sne''' is still written nesl'''aï'''hë'''sne''', but it is pronounced as nesl'''ë'''hë'''sne''' (The transliteration will keep the original form). The same happens when it applies to the word having two or more diphthongs (only the last diphthong has its pronunciation kept). Example: nesl''aï''hë + dai ====Demonstrativeness==== Demonstrative pronouns are represented as suffixes based on a table of proximity. Only the cluster is important. The vowel is '''a''' in Classes I to IV. It is the same as the one preceding the suffix cluster when in Chain Class (except when it is a diphthong when it is used a mid vowel instead). =====Proximity Degrees===== There are seven proximity degrees: * Near the speaker '''(prox.1)'''; * Near the hearer '''(prox.2)'''; * Near another person inside the talking group '''(prox.3)'''; * Near another person outside the talking group, but who is part of the conversation subject '''(prox.4)'''; * Near another person who can be seen '''(prox.5)'''; * Far from any person but that can be seen by either speaker or the hearer '''(prox.6)''' — Example: a ship near the horizon, a star, a planet; * Out of sight '''(prox.7)''' — Something in a different place in time, like a greek amphora, something in the other side of the planet, or that exists in a fantasy world uses this proximity degree. =====Proximity Clusters===== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Proximity Degrees''' || '''Prox. 1''' || '''Prox. 2''' || '''Prox. 3''' || '''Prox. 4''' || '''Prox. 5''' || '''Prox. 6''' || '''Prox. 7''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''h''' || '''hl''' || '''hp''' || '''lb''' || '''sb''' || '''mb''' || '''mm''' |- | '''Class II''' || '''h''' || '''hl''' || '''ht''' || '''ld''' || '''sd''' || '''nd''' || '''nn''' |- | '''Class III''' || '''h''' || '''hl''' || '''hty''' || '''ldy''' || '''sdy''' || '''ndy''' || '''nny''' |- | '''Class IV''' || '''h''' || '''hl''' || '''hk''' || '''lg''' || '''sg''' || '''ng''' || '''nnh''' |} Example: mosnhopsü (''ship''), mosnhopsülgü (''the ship that the sailor, who is the subject of the conversation, is in''). =====Definiteness===== There is no specific affix or word for '''definiteness'''. It is represented by the use of demonstrativeness afixes. If there is NO proximity degree that can be associated with a ''noun'' it will lack a '''determiner suffix'''. ====Possessiveness==== There are no pronouns in '''Nesnïdathe''', but in order to represent possessiveness one '''must''' add a suffix that will determine which ''person'' possess that thing. =====Persons===== There are six persons: * The speaker '''(1st.)'''; * The hearer '''(2nd.)'''; * The hearer (polite) '''(2nd. pol.)'''; * A part of a group of hearers '''(2nd. part.)''' — for that part of the hearers they are 2nd. person (hearers) and for the rest they are 3rd. person (people the speaker is talking about); * A person that is neither the speaker nor the hearer and within the sight of either the speaker or the hearer (approximate) '''(3rd. appr.)'''; * A person that is neither the speaker nor the hearer and out of the sight of both the speaker and the hearer (obviative) '''(3rd. obv.)'''. There are also two more person that refer other person, they are: * The reciprocal person '''(recip.)''' — when one (or more) person(s) from a group is acting towards another person(s) of the same group; * The reflexive pronoun '''(reflex.)''' — when one (or more) person(s) is acting towards him/her/themself(ves); =====Number Vowels===== The vowel in the possessiveness suffix structure represents the number of the possessiveness suffix (singular, dual, trial or plural). The vowel used is the one that appears in the [[#Case Vowels|case vowel]] table. =====Possessiveness Table===== All examples below use '''singular''' as the number of the ''possessiveness suffix''. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Person''' || '''1st.''' || '''2nd.''' || '''2nd. pol.''' || '''2nd. part.''' || '''3rd. appr.''' || '''3rd. obv.''' || '''recip.''' || '''reflex.''' |- | '''Class I''' || mospwowa'''pho''' || mospwowa'''bo''' || mospwowa'''wo''' || mospwowa'''mo''' || mospwowa'''po''' || mospwowa'''pmo''' || mospwowa'''pso''' || mospopwa'''pwo''' |- | '''Class II''' || nessita'''the''' || nessita'''de''' || nessita'''le''' || nessita'''ne''' || nessita'''te''' || nessita'''tne''' || nessita'''tse''' || nessita'''tle''' |- | '''Class III''' || nyeslyachü'''che''' || nyeslyachü'''dye''' || nyeslyachü'''lye''' || nyeslyachü'''nye''' || nyeslyachü'''tye''' || nyeslyachü'''tnye''' || nyeslyachü'''tsye''' || nyeslyachü'''tlye''' |- | '''Class IV''' || nhoskaku'''kho''' || nhoskaku'''go''' || nhoskaku'''wo''' || nhoskaku'''nho''' || nhoskaku'''ko''' || nhoskaku'''knho''' || nhoskaku'''xo''' || nhoskaku'''kwo''' |} When the word is a ''Chain Class'' one, the possessiveness suffix is the same of the class of the last cluster of the word. Example: mosnhopsü (''ship'') uses '''Class I''' suffix, so mosnhopsü'''pho''' (''my ship''). Non-singular example: mosnhopsü'''phö''' (''the ship of we three''). ====Specifiers==== =====Categories===== '''Specifiers''' are divided in two categories: * ''interior specifiers'' — express parts that compose an element (all parts of Earth = the '''whole''' Earth); * ''exterior specifiers'' — express a set of elements (all people on Earth = '''every''' person on Earth). These categories are represented by the '''determiner suffix vowel'''. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Category''' || '''Interior''' || '''Exterior''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''au''' || '''aü''' |- | '''Class II''' || '''ai''' || '''aï''' |- | '''Class III''' || '''ai''' || '''aü''' |- | '''Class IV''' || '''au''' || '''aï''' |} If the determiner suffix is added to a ''Chain Class'' word it uses the vowel based on the class of the determiner suffix cluster. This cluster is determined by the degrees specified below. =====Degrees===== '''Specifiers''' are also divided in four degrees: * totality ('''all''' elements of a given sort — whole, every); * presence (From '''one''' to '''all except one''' elements of a given sort — some, some parts of); * absence (no elements of a given sort — no, no part of); * unspecified (From '''one''' to '''all except one''' elements of a given sort ''chosen randomically'' from a population — any, any parts of). {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Degree''' || '''Totality''' || '''Presence''' || '''Absence''' || '''Unspecified''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''p''' || '''pl''' || '''pm''' || '''ps''' |- | '''Class II''' || '''t''' || '''tl''' || '''tn''' || '''ts''' |- | '''Class III''' || '''ty''' || '''tly''' || '''tny''' || '''tsy''' |- | '''Class IV''' || '''k''' || '''kl''' || '''km''' || '''x''' |} As happened in '''posessiveness''' suffixes, when the word is a ''Chain Class'' one, the specifier suffix is the same of the class of the last cluster of the word. Example: mosnhopsü (''ship'') uses '''Class I''' suffix, so mosnhopsü'''pau''' (''the whole ship''). ===Collectiveness=== There is one more affix that can be added to the end of the root, and before the determiner suffix. It is the '''collectiveness''' suffix. ====Non-Chain Class==== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Class''' || '''Collectiveness''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''spsu''' |- | '''Class II''' || '''ssi''' |- | '''Class III''' || '''ssyi''' |- | '''Class IV''' || '''sxu''' |} ====Chain Class==== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Root ends with''' || '''Collectiveness''' |- | '''rounded vowel''' || '''spsu''' |- | '''unrounded vowel''' || '''ssi''' |} ==Modifiers== '''Adjectives''' and '''adverbs''' are treated as a single part of speech in Nesnïdathe, the '''modifiers'''. Modifiers only exist to qualify (or intensify) other parts of speech such as nouns, verbs or other modifiers. When a modifier is used to qualify/intensify a noun it works as an adjective. When it is used to qualify/intensify any other part of speech it works as an adverb. A modifier root can begin with any cluster, except '''h''' and '''hl'''. A better explanation is given in [[#Part_of_Speech_Interchangeability|part of speech interchangeability]] part. No affixes can be added to modifiers. It agrees neither in number nor in case with the word it is modifying. It is '''always''' placed '''after''' the word it modifies. ==Verbs== The verbs agree with both the subject and the object. It also has four [[Wikipedia:Grammatical_aspect|aspects]] and three [[Wikipedia:Voice_(grammar)|voices]]. The tense is represented by a [[#Tense_Particles|tense particle]] outside the verb. Negation marker is also attached to the verb as a suffix. Its structure is: ''voice and aspect'' '''+''' ''subject person'' '''+''' ''object person'' '''+''' ''root'' '''+''' ''negation''. Every verb root begins with any consonant, except '''h''', '''hl''' and those capable of beginning a noun root. Therefore the only initial consonants are b, ph, w and m for Class I; d, th, l and n for Class II; dy, ch, ly and ny for Class III, and g, kh, lh and nh for Class IV. Chain class words can have any of these 16 (four classes times four clusters per class) consonants. ===Persons=== The list of all persons were already told in [[#Possessiveness|possessiveness]] part. Its affix is exactly the same of possessiveness. As can be seen, there is neither reciprocal nor reflexive pronouns for the subject of the sentence as they reference another pronoun, thus it is needed that there exists a pronoun that is neither the reciprocal nor the reflexive one. ====Subject==== Examples in active voice, perfect aspect and no object. Subject using singular as number, for other numbers change the affix vowel according to the [[#Case_Vowels|case vowel]] table. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Person''' || '''1st.''' || '''2nd.''' || '''2nd. pol.''' || '''2nd. part.''' || '''3rd. appr.''' || '''3rd. obv.''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''pho'''wowa || '''bo'''wowa || '''wo'''wowa || '''mo'''wowa || '''po'''wowa || '''pmo'''wowa |- | '''Class II''' || '''the'''thita || '''de'''thita || '''le'''thita || '''ne'''thita || '''te'''thita || '''tne'''thita |- | '''Class III''' || '''che'''lyachü || '''dye'''lyachü || '''lye'''lyachü || '''nye'''lyachü || '''tye'''lyachü || '''tnye'''lyachü |- | '''Class IV''' || '''kho'''gaku || '''go'''gaku || '''wo'''gaku || '''nho'''gaku || '''ko'''gaku || '''knho'''gaku |} ====Object==== Examples in active voice, perfect aspect and 3rd person approximative singular as subject.

(a unitary event) — denoted '''Perf'''; * Continuous: 'I am eating.' (action is in progress) — denoted '''Cont'''; * Habitual: 'I used to walk home from work' (situation occurs regularly or habitually) — denoted '''Hab'''; * Gnomic: 'Fish swim and birds fly' (general truths) — denoted '''Gno'''. ====Voices==== There are three voices: * Active: 'The subject is the agent and the object is the patient', no emphasis — denoted '''Act'''; * Passive: 'The subject is the patient. Agent can or cannot be saliented in a special case: the agentive', emphasis in the patient — denoted '''Pat'''; * Antipassive: 'The subject is the agent. Patient can or cannot be saliented in a special case: the patientive', emphasis in the agent — denoted '''Antp'''. ====Aspect-Voice Table==== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Aspect + Voice''' || '''Perf + Act''' || '''Cont + Act''' || '''Hab + Act''' || '''Gno + Act''' || '''Perf + Pat''' || '''Cont + Pat''' || '''Hab + Pat''' || '''Gno + Pat''' || '''Perf + Antp''' || '''Cont + Antp''' || '''Hab + Antp''' || '''Gno + Antp''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''—''' || '''hla''' || '''ma''' || '''wa''' || '''hü''' || '''hlü''' || '''mü''' || '''wü''' || '''hö''' || '''hlö''' || '''mö''' || '''wö''' |- | '''Class II''' || '''—''' || '''hla''' || '''na''' || '''la''' || '''hi''' || '''hli''' || '''ni''' || '''li''' || '''he''' || '''hle''' || '''ne''' || '''le''' |- | '''Class III''' || '''—''' || '''hla''' || '''nya''' || '''lya''' || '''hi''' || '''hli''' || '''nyi''' || '''lyi''' || '''he''' || '''hle''' || '''nye''' || '''lye''' |- | '''Class IV''' || '''—''' || '''hla''' || '''nha''' || '''lha''' || '''hï''' || '''hlï''' || '''nhï''' || '''lhï''' || '''hë''' || '''hlë''' || '''nhë''' || '''lhë''' |} If aspect-voice affix is added to a ''Chain Class'' word the '''a''' in ''Cont + Act'', ''Hab + Act'' and ''Gno + Act'' is changed to other vowel according to the table below. It depends on the class of the first cluster of the word as it happen in the [[#List_of_Cases|case system]] of the nouns. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Class''' || '''Substuting Vowel''' |- | '''Class I''' || '''o''' |- | '''Class II''' || '''ë''' |- | '''Class III''' || '''ö''' |- | '''Class IV''' || '''o''' |} ===Negation=== The '''negation''' is represented as a suffix to the verb. It depends only on the last vowel of the word. It is represented as '''hl + this vowel'''. ===Mood and Modal Verbs=== There are no mood in Nesnïdathe. Modal verbs are used instead.<br> Modal verbs are treated as common verbs and the main verb is, then, put in a subordinate clause. ==Tense Particles== There are three tense particles: '''nhï''' for ''past'', '''tse''' for ''present'' and '''hlï''' for ''future''. ==Numbers== ===Numeral System=== ''Nesnïdathe'' makes use of a [[Wikipedia:Duodecimal|base 12]] system. ===Basic Numbers=== There are eleven basic numbers. Each basic number is represented by a one syllable word, called ''Base Form''. When combining it with other basic numbers, if it violates the vowel-consonant harmony then it can be represented by another one syllable word, called ''Alternative Form''. {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''Preference''' || '''Base Form''' || '''Alt.

Numbers derived from "dividing meanings", e.g. ''a third of 12'', ''halfway to 12'', uses the same vowel but other voiceless stop that could be together with taht vowel according to the harmony. Numbers derived from being a complement of other number transforms the voiceless stop into a voiceless stop + nasal cluster. ===Big Numbers=== Numbers greater than eleven should be represented in the form XY, where it means the number X * 12<sup>Y</sup>. If a number cannot be represented in the form X * 12<sup>Y</sup>, it is represented as the greatest number below it that can be represented this way and another word for the amount that is still lacking. Examples: * 36<sub>10</sub> = 30<sub>12</sub> = 3 * 12<sup>1</sup>, therefore it is represented as '''këte'''. * 37<sub>10</sub> = 31<sub>12</sub> = 3 * 12<sup>1</sup> + 1 * 12<sup>0</sup>, therefore it is represented as '''këte po'''. * 2229057957888<sub>10</sub> = 30000'''E'''00000<sub>12</sub> = 3 * 12<sup>11</sup> + 11 * 12<sup>6</sup>, therefore it is represented as '''këtnë tnëtï'''. ''tnëpü'' is not harmonical. Notation: '''X''' is ten in base 12 and '''E''' is eleven in base 12. ===Representing quantities=== In order to represent quantities one '''must''' use the number after the noun it is modifying, e.g. '''mosnhopsü''' (''ship''), '''musnhopsü''' (''ships''), '''musnhopsü këte''' (''36 ships''). ==Interjections== ==Onomatopoeias== ==Part of Speech Interchangeability== All parts of speech can be transformed into another part of speech only changing its root. The eight basic changes are: * '''noun''' to '''active modifier''': removal of any affix (case, determiners and collectiveness) and change of the first cluster according to the ''[[#Cluster_Changing_Table|cluster changing table]]; * '''noun''' to '''patientive modifier''': removal of any affix (case, determiners and collectiveness); * '''noun''' to '''verb''': the same changes of the ''noun'' to ''active modifier'' changing and adding of any necessary affix (voice-aspect, persons and others); * '''active modifier''' to '''noun''': change of the first cluster according to the ''[[#Cluster_Changing_Table|cluster changing table]] and adding of any necessary affix (case, determiners and collectiveness); * '''active modifier''' to '''patientive modifier''': change of the first cluster according to the ''[[#Cluster_Changing_Table|cluster changing table]]; * '''active modifier''' to '''verb''': adding of any necessary affix (voice-aspect, persons and others); * '''patientive modifier''' to '''noun''': adding of any necessary affix (case, determiners and collectiveness); * '''patientive modifier''' to '''active modifier''': change of the first cluster according to the ''[[#Cluster_Changing_Table|cluster changing table]]; * '''patientive modifier''' to '''verb''': change of the first cluster according to the ''[[#Cluster_Changing_Table|cluster changing table]] and adding of any necessary affix (voice-aspect, persons and others); * '''verb''' to '''active modifier''': removal of any affix (voice-aspect, persons and others); * '''verb''' to '''patientive modifier''': removal of any affix (voice-aspect, persons and others) and change of the first cluster according to the ''[[#Cluster_Changing_Table|cluster changing table]]; * '''verb''' to '''noun''': the same changes of the ''verb'' to ''patientive modifier'' changing and adding of any necessary affix (case, determiners and collectiveness); ===Cluster Changing Table=== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | colspan=2 | '''Class I''' || colspan=2 | '''Class II''' || colspan=2 | '''Class III''' || colspan=2 | '''Class IV''' |- | '''Noun/Patientive Cluster''' || '''Verb/Active Cluster''' || '''Noun/Patientive Cluster''' || '''Verb/Active Cluster''' || '''Noun/Patientive Cluster''' || '''Verb/Active Cluster''' || '''Noun/Patientive Cluster''' || '''Verb/Active Cluster''' |- | '''p''' || '''b''' || '''t''' || '''d''' || '''ty''' || '''dy''' || '''k''' || '''g''' |- | '''pw''' || '''w''' || '''tl''' || '''l''' || '''tly''' || '''ly''' || '''kw''' || '''lh''' |- | '''pm''' || '''m''' || '''tn''' || '''n''' || '''tny''' || '''ny''' || '''knh''' || '''nh''' |- | '''ps''' || '''ph''' || '''ts''' || '''th''' || '''tsy''' || '''ch''' || '''x''' || '''kh''' |} =Syntax= ==Word Order== '''Nesnïdathe''' has '''VO word order'''. It can be ''SVO'', ''VSO'' or ''VOS'' depending on the type of the clause. ===Simple Clauses=== Simple clauses are considered the ones with only one verb and which is not embedded or correlated to any other sentence in a period. For each different word order several examples will be shown. A lexicon will also be in these examples. Roots of this lexicon will be in the ''verb/active form''. A man and a woman will be used as parts of the examples, he will be in sight and she will not. This will happen with every example unless it is written the opposite. ====Intransitive==== Intransitive clauses use '''SV word order'''. The subject must be in the '''nominative case'''. =====Examples===== * ''man'' — '''büwö (Class I)''' * ''sing'' — '''dedye (Chain Class)'''<br><br> * ''The man sings'' — man.nom.sg perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-sing — '''mospüwö tededye'''. If the subject is not a pronoun then the subject affix MAY be omitted, as long as the sentence still makes the same sense. Therefore ''The man sings'' can be written as '''mospüwö dedye'''; * ''The man is singing'' — man.nom.sg cont.act-3rd.appr.sg-sing — '''mospüwö hlëtededye'''. Simplifying, it becomes '''mospüwö hlëdedye'''; * ''He sings'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-sing — '''tededye'''. As the subject is now a pronoun then the subject affix need to be kept. ====Transitive==== Transitive clauses use '''SVO word order'''. Both subject and object must be in the '''nominative case'''. If the subject is a pronoun, then it will not appear as Nesnïdathe is [[Wikipedia:Pro-drop_language|pro-drop]] and the sentence will have ''VO word order'' and the object will be in the '''accusative case'''. If the subject and the object have either different people or different numbers, the object ''may'' be in the '''nominative case'''. The object may also be dropped either because it is a pronoun or because the sentence is intransitive and thus there is no object. * If the object is a pronoun the sentence will have ''SV (or VS) word order'': ** If SV word order is used, the subject must be in the '''nominative case'''; ** If VS word order is used instead, the subject will be in the '''ergative case''', unless if the subject and the object have either different people or different numbers, then the subject ''may'' be in the '''nominative case'''. =====Examples===== * ''woman'' — '''büwo (Class I)''' * ''love'' — '''nyitsye (Class III)'''<br><br> * ''The man loves the woman'' — man.nom.sg perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.obv.sg-love woman.nom.sg — '''mospüwö tyetnyenyitsye mospüwo'''. Neither subject nor object is a pronoun, so the sentence can simplified to '''mospüwö nyitsye mospüwo'''; * ''The man loves her'' — man.nom.sg perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.obv.sg-love — '''mospüwö tyetnyenyitsye'''.<br> :If both the hearer(s) knows that the man is within the speaker's sight, this the person affix that refers to the man can be omitted, as the only person affix that will be kept is a 3rd.obv, which would not fit for the man (he is within sight), so this affix is surely of the object and the sentence sense is kept. Therefore, the sentence can be simplified to '''mospüwö tnyenyitsye'''.<br> :This sentence can also be written in ''VS word order'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.obv.sg-love man.erg.sg — '''tyetnyenyitsye psospüwö'''. Removing unnecessary person affixes — '''tnyenyitsye psospüwö'''.<br> :As the grammatical people are different (3rd.appr.sg for him e 3rd.obv.sg for her) the subject can be in ''nominative case'', so the sentence would become '''tnyenyitsye mospüwö'''; * ''The man loves her'' (the woman is within sight) — man.nom.sg perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-love — '''mospüwö tyetyenyitsye'''. As both the man and the woman is within sight, the removal of the person affix that refers to the man would change the sentence sense. Therefore the sentence canNOT be simplified.<br> :In ''VS word order'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-love man.erg.sg — '''tyetyenyitsye psospüwö'''; * ''He loves her'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.obv.sg-love — '''tyetnyenyitsye''' (most simplified form); * ''He loves the woman'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.obv.sg-love woman.acc.sg — '''tyetnyenyitsye phospüwo'''. Based on the same principle in the second example, the unnecessary person affixes can be omitted and the object can be in the ''nominative case'', so it would become '''tyenyitsye mospüwo'''. ====Non-Active Voice==== Non-active voices can be uses to emphasize the agent or the patient, but it may also be used to turn ''transitive'' sentences into ''intransitive''. There are two non-active voices: '''passive''' and '''antipassive'''. Passive voice emphasizes on the patient and transforms an active sentence into a passive sentence having the ''patient'' as ''subject'' and '''no object'''. The agent is represented by the '''agentive case''' when it is needed to be shown. Antiassive voice emphasizes on the agent and transforms an active sentence into an antipassive sentence having the ''agent'' as ''subject'' and '''no object'''. The patient is represented by the ''patientive case''' when it is needed to be shown. =====Examples===== * ''The man loves the woman'' is '''mospüwö nyitsye mospüwo'''. In the passive voice it is '''mospüwo hinyitsye (bospüwö)'''. In the antipassive voice it is '''mospüwö henyitsye (psompüwö)'''. ===Coordinate Clauses=== There are '''no conjunctions''' in ''Nesnïdathe''. In order to build ''coordinate clauses'' one will have to use a special structure. There two special structures, one for non-consecutive clauses and other for consecutive ones. ====Non-Consecutive Clauses==== To build '''non-consecutive coordinate clauses''' in ''Nesnïdathe'' one only needs to right both sentences side by side with no link between them. If the coordination between the sentences is not additive, one may put the second clause starting with a structure which is similar to an adverbial clause.<br> To create this structure one should use the root '''dëkhu (manner, way)''' as a noun in the instrumental case — '''chentëkhu (using a manner)''' followed by the the modifier equivalent to the type of coordination. For instance, if it is an adversative coordination (such as the conjunction '''but''') one should a modifier like '''nesdï (opposite, converse)''', therefore the clause would need to begin with '''chentëkhu nesdï (using an opposing manner, with a converse manner, conversely)'''. Two nouns connected by a conjunction '''IS NOT a coordinate clause'''. It is represented by using the ''comitative case'' in the second noun. =====Examples===== * ''cake'' — '''nhogu (Class IV)''' * ''strawberry'' — '''phulbu (Class I)''' * ''coffee'' — '''dyötyü (Class III)''' * ''eat'' — '''möche (Chain Class)''' * ''drink'' — '''mongï (Chain Class)'''<br><br> * ''He eats cake and drinks coffee'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-eat cake.acc.sg | perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-drink coffee.acc.sg — '''popomöche khosnhogu. popomongï chestyötyü'''; * ''He eats cake but doesn't drink coffee'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-eat cake.acc.sg | perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-drink-neg coffee.acc.sg — '''popomöche khosnhogu. popomongïhlï chestyötyü'''; :If the opposition is important to the sentence, then it would be '''popomöche khosnhogu. chentëkhu nesdï popomongïhlï chestyötyü'''; * ''He eats cake and strawberries'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-eat cake.acc.sg strawberry.com.pl — '''popomöche khosnhogu psulpsulbu''' (The verb agrees by proximity, as the nearest object number is ''singular'' so it is the object person affix used). ====Consecutive Clauses==== '''Consecutive clauses''' can be constructed in two ways. If either the subject or the object of the first clause is either the subject or the object of the second, the coordinate construction will be the one explained below. If that does not happen it will be represented the same way as the ''non-consecutive clauses''. To create ''consecutive clauses'' one must assure that the second clause is '''intransitive'''. If this is not the case, one '''must''' put the clause in the passive/antipassive voice such that the sentence becomes intransitive and its subject is the element that exists in first clause. * If the subject of the first sentence is also in the second sentence. The word order of the first clause will be ''VOS'' and it will be followed by the verb of the second clause — The subject of the first clause must be in the '''nominative case''' and the object in the '''accusative case'''; * If the object of the first sentence is also in the second sentence. The word order of the first clause will be ''VSO'' and it will be followed by the verb of the second clause — The subject of the first clause must be in the '''ergative case''' and the object in the '''nominative case'''. It is important to note that the subject of the second sentence will '''always''' be in the '''nominative case'''. Note: if the element that is not in the second sentence is a personal pronoun it will not appear, as usual. If it is the one in the second sentence it '''must''' appear. To do it use special roots, such as '''nïthi (person) (Chain Class)''' or '''nyöhö (thing) (Chain Class)''' — these roots must be in noun form, so '''tnïthi''' and '''tnyöhö'''. Possessive pronoun affixes will be attached to these special words in order to represent personal pronouns, such as '''I''' is represented as '''my person'''. =====Examples===== * ''door'' — '''wëne (Chain Class)''' * ''pain'' — '''phuho (Class I)''' * ''dog'' — '''lëthë (Class II)''' * ''house'' — '''moxï (Chain Class)''' * ''push'' — '''thïxu (Chain Class)''' * ''close'' — '''bübü (Class I)''' * ''feel'' — '''dëskï (Chain Class)''' * ''cry'' — '''nilde (Class II)''' * ''see'' — '''neli (Class II)''' * ''like'' — '''khële (Chain Class)''' * ''hit'' — '''nele (Class II)''' * ''flee'' — '''lichü (Chain Class)'''<br><br> * ''He pushed the door and it closed'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.appr.sg-push door.nom.sg perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-close — '''tetethïxu mospwëne pobübü'''; * ''He felt pain and cried'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.obv.sg-feel pain.erg.sg person.nom.sg-3rd.appr.sg.poss perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-cry — '''tetnedëski psospsuho nyesnïthite tenilde'''; * ''I saw a dog and I liked it'' — to passive voice — ''I saw a dog and it liked.PASS (me.AGENT)'' — perf.act-1st.sg-3rd.obv.sg-see dog.nom.sg perf.pat-3rd.obv.sg-like (person.agen.sg-1st.sg.poss) — '''thetneneli teslëthë hïknhokhële (dyesnïthithe)'''; * ''She hit the dog and it fled home'' — to antipassive voice — ''She hit the dog and it fled.APASS (home/his house.PATIENT)'' — perf.act-3rd.appr.sg-3rd.obv.sg-hit dog.nom.sg perf.antp-3rd.obv.sg-flee (house.pat.sg-3rd.obv.sg.poss) — '''tetnenele teslëthë hetnelichü (xommoxïko)'''. ===Subordinate Clauses=== As told in the [[#Coordinate_Clauses|coordinate clauses]] part, there are '''no conjunctions''' in ''Nesnïdathe''. In order to build ''subordinate clauses'' one will have to use a special structure. There two special structures, one for adjective and adverbial subordinate clauses and other for noun subordiante clauses. The subordinate clause is put '''ALWAYS''' after the main clause and its word order is always ''VSO''. ====Adjective and Adverbial Subordinate Clauses==== Also called '''Modifier Subordinate Clauses''' these clauses that ''modify'' a term in the main clause. Its verb '''must''' be in the ''modifier form'', either the active or the patientive one, it depends on the meaning of the subordination (See [[#Part_of_Speech_Interchangeability]]). For instance, the sentence '''That is the cake I gave to the boy.''' means that the cake was the ''patient'' of the subordiante clause. So, the verb must be put in its '''patientive modifier form'''. When the verb is in the active modifier form, the object of the subordinate clause '''must''' be in the [[#Patientive_Case|patientive case]]. If the verb is in patientive modifier form, it is the subject of the subordinate clause that '''must''' be in the [[#Active_Case|active case]]. Thus, the subject of the subordinate clause of the example above, ''I'', should be in the ''active case''. =====Examples===== * ''boy'' — '''phüspö (Class I)''' * ''letter'' — '''nhëkhë (Class IV)''' * ''give'' — '''phaba (Class I)''' * ''write'' — '''khonho (Class IV)'''<br><br> * ''That is the cake I gave to the boy'' (the cake is close to the boy and the boy is part of the conversation subject) — transcribed as — ''That is the cake given by me to the boy'' — due to '''no copula''' — ''That cake given by me to the boy'' — cake.nom.sg-prox.4 give.modif.pat person.agen.sg-1st.sg.poss boy.ben.sg — '''nhosnhogu psaba dyesnïthithe pmospsüspö'''; * ''This is the boy that wrote the letter'' (the boy is close to the speaker) — transcribed as — ''This is the writing boy of the letter.PASSIVE'' — due to '''no copula''' — ''This writing boy of the letter.PASSIVE'' — boy.nom.sg-prox.1 write.modif.agen letter.pat.sg — '''mospsüspö khonho xonnhëkhë'''. ====Noun Subordinate Clauses==== These clauses do not modify any term, but it is always an '''integrant part''' of the main clause, either the subject, the object and so on. Its word order is always ''VAP'', where ''A'' stands for agent and ''P'' for patient (there is neither subject nor object well defined in noun subordiante clauses). The verb must be in its ''noun form'' and '''must''' add any necessary affix. Aspect-Voice affix is kept, but the persons are substituted. The agent of the subordiante sentence is put in the [[#Possessive_Case|possessive case]] and the patient in the [[#Genitive_Case|genitive case]]. The idea behind this is that ''both the agent and the patient have an important relation with the verb'', but the ''agent is its '''owner''', as it is the one to do the action''. The verb of the main clause lacks subject or object person affix when the subordinate clause is its subject or object respectively. =====Examples===== * ''know'' — '''bopü (Chain I)'''<br><br> * ''I know that the man eats cake'' — transcribed as — ''I know of the man's eating of the cake'' — perf.act-1st.sg-know eat.noun.nom.sg man.poss.sg cake.gen.sg — '''phobopü nhosmöche mompüwö kolnhogu'''. =====Modal Verbs===== There is no '''modal verb''' in ''Nesnïdathe''. All verbs are main verbs. Any idea of ''modal verb'' is substituted by a '''noun subordinate clause''' with the same subject of the main clause. For instance, '''I want to swim''' will become '''I want to I swim''', and by the verb nominalization process it becomes, '''I want my swimming'''. =====Examples===== * ''want'' — '''dyaihi (Class III)''' * ''swim'' — '''chüwö (Chain Class)'''<br><br> * ''I want to swim'' — perf.act-1st.sg-want swim.nom.sg-1st.sg.poss — '''chedyaihi tsyüwöpho'''. =Lexicon= The lexicon will be divided in two parts, actions and non-actions. Words will be represented in active modifier form. ==Actions== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''English''' || '''Nesnïdathe''' || '''Class''' |- | '''begin''' || '''dihe''' || '''II''' |- | '''burn''' || '''lyedi''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''cause''' || '''thechü''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''can''' || '''nëkwï''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''close''' || '''bübü''' || '''I''' |- | '''confound''' || '''nyömbü''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''cry''' || '''nilde''' || '''II''' |- | '''drink''' || '''mongï''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''eat''' || '''möche''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''end''' || '''lyöphu''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''feel''' || '''dëskï''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''find''' || '''lide''' || '''II''' |- | '''flee''' || '''lichü''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''give''' || '''phaba''' || '''I''' |- | '''go''' || '''gëhï''' || '''IV''' |- | '''have (possess)''' || '''nyeti''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''hit''' || '''nele''' || '''II''' |- | '''hope''' || '''nhaïhlë''' || '''IV''' |- | '''interrupt''' || '''thinë''' || '''II''' |- | '''know''' || '''bopü''' || '''I''' |- | '''like''' || '''khële''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''love''' || '''nyitsye''' || '''III''' |- | '''make''' || '''lïli''' || '''II''' |- | '''migrate''' || '''lyödye''' || '''III''' |- | '''may''' || '''gëhku''' || '''IV''' |- | '''propose''' || '''lyöhtyü''' || '''III''' |- | '''push''' || '''thïxu''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''require''' || '''dïhï''' || '''II''' |- | '''say''' || '''guhlo''' || '''IV''' |- | '''scatter''' || '''nyehtyi''' || '''III''' |- | '''see''' || '''neli''' || '''II''' |- | '''settle''' || '''netö''' || '''II''' |- | '''sing''' || '''dedye''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''swim''' || '''chüwö''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''understand''' || '''nëkï''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''use''' || '''lhugï''' || '''IV''' |- | '''want''' || '''dyaihi''' || '''III''' |- | '''wish''' || '''dïknho''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''write''' || '''khonho''' || '''IV''' |} ==Non-Actions== {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" |- | '''English''' || '''Nesnïdathe''' || '''Class''' |- | '''bitumen''' || '''chomü''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''boy''' || '''phüspö''' || '''I''' |- | '''bottom''' || '''gomo''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''brick''' || '''chüpo''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''cake''' || '''nhogu''' || '''IV''' |- | '''cement''' || '''naihi''' || '''II''' |- | '''city''' || '''nidi''' || '''II''' |- | '''coffee''' || '''dyötyü''' || '''III''' |- | '''destiny''' || '''nyiche''' || '''III''' |- | '''dog''' || '''lëthë''' || '''II''' |- | '''door''' || '''wëne''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''earth''' || '''chilyü''' || '''III''' |- | '''east''' || '''lhupö''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''girl''' || '''phüspo''' || '''I''' |- | '''god''' || '''desta''' || '''II''' |- | '''heavens''' || '''lyüpho''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''house''' || '''möxi''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''human''' || '''bupu''' || '''I''' |- | '''knowledge (knowing)''' || '''bopü''' || '''I''' |- | '''land''' || '''linde''' || '''II''' |- | '''language''' || '''nïda''' || '''II''' |- | '''letter''' || '''nhëkhë''' || '''IV''' |- | '''man''' || '''büwö''' || '''I''' |- | '''name''' || '''thitë''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''north''' || '''nhauho''' || '''IV''' |- | '''origin''' || '''desdye''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''pain''' || '''phuho''' || '''I''' |- | '''person''' || '''nïthi''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''place''' || '''nhuphu''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''plain''' || '''chühö''' || '''III''' |- | '''plains''' || '''chüchö''' || '''III''' |- | '''ship''' || '''nhopsü''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''south''' || '''lhauho''' || '''IV''' |- | '''stone''' || '''golbü''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''strawberry''' || '''phulbu''' || '''I''' |- | '''surface''' || '''thëknhë''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''time (moment)''' || '''khugë''' || '''IV''' |- | '''thing''' || '''nyöhö''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''top''' || '''gobo''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''tower''' || '''gulku''' || '''IV''' |- | '''west''' || '''nhubö''' || '''Chain''' |- | '''woman''' || '''büwo''' || '''I''' |- | '''word''' || '''gëni''' || '''Chain''' |} =The Meaning of the Language= * ''language'' — '''nïda (Class II)''' * ''god'' — '''desta (Class II)''' * ''give'' — '''phaba (Class I)'''<br><br> * '''nesnïdathe''' — '''nes-tnïda-the''' — nom.sg-language-1st.sg.poss — ''my language''; * '''nesnïda phaba distesta''' — '''nes-tnïda phaba dis-testa''' — nom.sg-language give.modif.pat agen.pl-god — ''the language given by the gods''. =Writing System= The script has not yet been created. The only things already decided are: * It will look like [[Wikipedia:Manchu_alphabet|manchu script]] and will be written in its same direction (top to bottom, left to right). Similarities with the [[Wikipedia:Georgian_alphabet|georgian (mkhedruli version)]], [[Wikipedia:Avestan_alphabet|avestan]] and [[Wikipedia:Gujarati_script|gujarati]] scripts are desirable; * It will be halfway between the [[Wikipedia:Abugida|abugidas]] and the [[Wikipedia:Syllabary|syllabaries]]. It will have one different symbol for each syllable composed of a consonant manner of articulation (voiceless stop, voiced stop, fricative, nasal and lateral, in addition to the aspirant '''h''' and the lateral fricative '''hl''') — different places of articulation (labial, dental, palatal and velar) are represented by diacritics — and a vowel height (open, mid, close and diphthong) — different backness and different roundedness are represented by diacritics; * Each symbol will be divided in a number of parts, which can be up to three. These parts are the pre-stop, the main and the post-stop parts. ** As nasal and lateral consonants are used to create cluster and they can be before or after the stops, then they have all three parts; ** Despite only appearing between vowels, fricative have also three parts. Its pre-stop and post-stop parts are used for the ''s-sound''; ** The only consonant to have two parts is ''h'', which only has the pre-stop and the main part. ''ph'', ''th'', ''ch'' and ''kh'' are only written this way for the transliteration, they are fricatives and have a specific symbol for them; ** If a consonant appears between vowels the syllable symbol will have '''all''' of its parts and not only the main one; * To represent clusters one needs to use the syllable symbols of each consonant that compose the cluster plus the vowel of the syllable. For instance, in order to represent '''nsï''' one needs to put together the symbosl of '''nï (pre-stop part)''', '''tï (all parts)''' and '''thï (post-stop part)'''; * Each symbol will have initial, medial, final and isolated forms — the former three forms can easily be derived from the latter one; ** Words from Classes I to IV will not have initial consonants as there will be a special class symbol in its beginning. This symbol is used, so that the number of diacritics in some words can reduce substantially; * Each symbol will can have up to three diacritics attached to it — consonant place of articulation, vowel backness and vowel roundedness.<br> The table below shows every possible syllable symbol: {| class="bluetable {{{1}}}" border="1" cellpadding="2" style="text-align: center;" |- | rowspan=2 width="100" | '''Manner of Articulation''' || colspan=4 | '''Vowel Height''' |- | '''Open''' || '''Mid''' || '''Close''' || '''Diphthong''' |- | '''voiceless stop''' || '''pa, ta, tya, ka''' || '''po/pö, te/të, tye/työ, ko/kë''' || '''pu/pü, ti/tï, tyi/tyü, ku/kï''' || '''pau/paü, tai/taï, tyai/tyaü, kau/kaï''' |- | '''voiced stop''' || '''ba, da, dya, ga''' || '''bo/bö, de/dë, dye/dyö, go/gë''' || '''bu/bü, di/dï, dyi/dyü, gu/gï''' || '''bau/baü, dai/daï, dyai/dyaü, dau/daï''' |- | '''fricative''' || '''pha, tha, cha, kha''' || '''pho/phö, the/thë, che/chö, kho/khë''' || '''phu/phü, thi/thï, chi/chü, khu/khï''' || '''phau/phaü, thai/thaï, chai/chaü, khau/khaï''' |- | '''nasal''' || '''ma, na, nya, nha''' || '''mo/mö, ne/në, nye/nyö, nho/nhë''' || '''mu/mü, ni/nï, nyi/nyü, nhu/nhï''' || '''mau/maü, nai/naï, nyai/nyaü, nhau/nhaï''' |- | '''lateral''' || '''wa, la, lya, lha''' || '''wo/wö, le/lë, lye/lyö, lho/lhë''' || '''wu/wü, li/lï, lyi/lyü, lhu/lhï''' || '''wau/waü, lai/laï, lyai/lyaü, lhau/lhaï''' |- | '''h''' || '''ha''' || '''ho/hö/he/hë''' || '''hu/hü/hi/hï''' || '''hau/haü/hai/haï''' |- | '''hl''' || '''hla''' || '''hlo/hlö/hle/hlë''' || '''hlu/hlü/hli/hlï''' || '''hlau/hlaü/hlai/hlaï''' |} Therefore, as can be seen from the table above, 28 syllable symbols '''must''' yet be created.

Parts of the grammar and the vocabulary are similar to those of [[SIAL]], the 2nd one. The phonology has more consonant phonemes, allowing for borrowed words to be more recognizable, even though some of the distinctions will still tend to merge in actual practice. The specifically Chinese syntax peculiarities have been eliminated, along with the inversion suffix (at present). While the general morphology is like SIAL's, the pronouns and particles have been mostly redone. == Syntax == The word order is SVOX with most noun modifiers after the noun.

The general word order is SVO, with modifiers preceding heads, but if the subject has modifiers, they usually change the word order to VSO. Nouns are inflected for number, definiteness, and case. Adjectives are inflected similarly and have various ways of agreement depending on class. Verbs are conjugated in tense, aspect, mood and number. There is a variety of adverbs and pronouns with various functions.

The word ''Tsakxa'' actually means 'to hunt' and may have been an exonym applied by other local groups through their own misinterpretations. The Tsakxa themselves refer to themselves as ''Memama'', 'people-people' or 'the real people'. In Russian, they are called ''Voniye'', which probably derives from an exonym applied to them by the Sakha. == Lifestyle == === Tribal life === Traditionally, the Tsakxa led a semi-nomadic tribal hunter-gatherer life within eastern Siberia, trading with various other peoples. The Tsakxa lived in small familial groups, usually consisting of two to five brothers, their parents, their wives and their children. These groups did not marry within themselves. Daughters married sons from other families and the daughter joined her husband's tribe. The Tsakxa were generally monogamous. With the arrival of Russian explorers and missionaries, many of the Tsakxa converted to Russian orthodoxy, although probably only to ensure trading contacts. === Modern Tsakxa === During Stalin's rule, large numbers of the Tsakxa were forcibly transferred to central Asia, and the rest were forced to settle and become agricultural workers. The Tsakxa population was disseminated at random in order to break up familial units. Although after Stalin's death many were allowed to return, many ethnic Tsakxa were orphans with no knowledge of their background, and many others had been raised speaking Russian. The Tsakxa people today are mostly agricultural or live in the city. The language has only a few hundred speakers remaining, almost all of them over the age of 40.

I´m starting this wiki after years trying to learn Arabic, but without going far... The main causes are: 1) NOBODY SPEAKS MSA (Modern Standard Arabic). Believe, NOBODY. Many Arabic teachers told me of how frustrated they got as they ordered water in Cairo, speaking MSA and the waiters answered something as: "Sorry, I don´t speak German, d´you speak English?" (in English, of course). 2) There are many dialects, but the courses in dialect are just for beginners. So, I decided to create here a mixed dialect to be used in Middle Eastern countries (Egypt, Jordania, Libanon, Syria, Iraq, Kuweit, Saudi Arabia, and in the Gulf countries). Suggestions are welcome. I´m no Arab, no moslem, I do it for the curiosity and love for languages.

There is a railway connecting the seven nations and air transportation is available. *After the formation of the Himalayan Confederacy in 1975, the founding nations took steps to meet the transportation needs of the citizens. The Trans-HimCon (THC) railway was started and plans were initiated to establish an air transport system. As the other three Himalayan nations joined the Confederacy they bought into both of these transportation systems. *The two international aerodromes are located in Thimpu, Bhutan, and Jammu City, Jammu. *In the eastern Himalayan Confederacy there are regular international flights from Thimpu to Kathmandu, Nepal; Lhasa, Tibet; Calcutta, Bengal; [[Frederiksnagore]]; Chinsurah; Akyab, Arakan; Chengdu, Nanhanguo; and Mandalay, Burma. *Regular local flights in the eastern Himalayan Confederacy connect Thimpu, Itanagar, and Along in Bhutan; Jomsom, Chame, and Dhunai in Lo; and Gangtok, Darjeeling and Kalimpang in Sikkim. *Travelers flying from the eastern end of the Himalayan Confederacy to the western must fly to Thimpu and transfer to a flight to Kathmandu, then make a connection from Kathmandu to their destination. *In the western Himalayan Confederacy there are regular international flights from Kathmandu to Thimpu, Bhutan; Lhasa, Tibet; Amritsar, Sikh R.S.; Herat, Moghul N.R.; Lucknow, Oudh; Delhi, Samraj; and Jaipur, Rajputana. *Regular local flights in the western Himalayan Confederacy connect Kathmandu, Pauri, and Nainital in Nepal; Jammu City in Jammu, Srinigar in Kashmir; and Kargil and Leh in Ladakh. *There is also an international flight from Leh, Ladakh, to [[Wikipedia:Shiquanhe|Ali]], Tibet. *Travelers flying from the western end of the Himalayan Confederacy to the eastern must fly to Kathmandu and transfer to a flight to Thimpu, then make a connection from Thimpu to their destination. *'''HimConAir (HCA)''' is the flagship airline of the Himalayan Confederacy.

I enjoyed using the language that much that i endeavoured to learn to speak it it and campain to have it as the first official jokelang. ==Pronunciation rules== In order to differentiate it from English and in order to make it more pronouncable, I had to come up with certain pronunciation rules, for example, the words Want, Won't, Can't and Bent, in Sdrawkcab are spelt an pronounced respectively: <br><br>''Tnaw'' (ʔNaw)<br> ''T'now'' (ʔNo)<br> ''T'nac'' (ʔnac) <br> ''Tneb'' (ʔneb). <BR><br> Right, light and thought is Sdrawkcab have pronounced G's and the th is as is think, as is: <br><br>''Thgir'' (Thg-eer)<br> ''Thgil'' (thg-il)<br> ''Thguoht'' (thg-wot). <br><br> Sh, Th, Ph and Ch: if after a consonant, the h is silent, if afer a vowel, the h only works to elongate the vowel sound. <br><br> Shame - ''Emahs'' (E-ma:s)<br> Church - ''Hcruhc'' (Kru:k) <br> Ethnic - ''Cinthe'' (Kin-te) <br> Pharmacy - ''Ycamrahp'' (Ee-cam-ra:p) ==Grammar Rules== Grammar is exactly the same as English, apart from two slight differences that are east to remember. The first difference is A and An, they are used with the same words as in English, so A cake is ''A Ekac'' and an egg is ''Na Gge'' <br><br> The only other is abbreviations, this is useful for MSN and other instant messaging sights, because Sdrakcab is technically backwards English, abbreviations are with different letters, Be right back in English is brb, but in Sdrawkcab it would be ETK, for '''''E'''d '''T'''hgir '''K'''cab'' <br><br> =Some other abbreviations= RSPCA - LYNYS as in ''Yalor Yteicos rof Noitneverp fo Ytleurc ot Slamina''<br> FBI - LUN as in ''Laredef Uaerub Noitagitsevni''<br> NIMBY - TNYKD as in ''Ton Ni Ym Kcab Dray''<br> PC - either LR or EE as in ''Lanosrep Retupmoc'' or ''Ecilop Elbatsnoc'' ==A Text For Study== =In English= '''''The Tower Of Babel:'''''<br><br> 1. Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. <br> 2. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. <br> 3. And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. <br> 4. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth." <br> 5. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. <br> 6. And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. <br> 7. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech." <br> 8. So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. <br> 9. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.<br><br> =Ni Sdrawckab= '''''Eht Rewot Fo Lebab:'''<br><br> 1. Won eht elohw htrae dah eno egaugnal dna eht emas sdrow.<br> 2.

Wood. It is based on the sounds of Polish, Czech and Romanian. ==Alphabet== A Á B C D D̦ E F G Ğ I J K L Ł M N Ń O Ø P R Ř S Ś T Ţ U Ú V Z Ź =pronunciations= A - Sat<br> Á - C'''a'''ke<br> B - Boat<br> C - Ts as in nits<br> D - Done<br> D̦ - J as in Jug<br> E - Pet<br> F - Fall<br> G - Good<br> Ğ - J as in French Je<br> I - In<br> J - Y as is Yob<br> K - Kill<br> L - Love<br> Ł - Polish, as in morał<br> M - Moon<br> N - Not<br> Ń - Spanish Ñ as in Sueño<br> O - Pot<br> Ø - Ur as in Urn<br> P - Pie<br> R - Run<br> Ř - Polish Rz as in Rzicz<br> S - Sun <br> Ś - Sh as in Shine T - Turn Ţ - Th as is Thorn U - Put Ú - oo as in Moot V - W as in Wary Z - Zoo Ź - S as in Pleasure. ==Grammar== Let's look at a sample sentence. 'I went to the shop' To break this sentence, we start with the verb 'to go' which in Czásza is ''Czáfe'' to turn this into 'I go' we put Ğ on the end (if the verb ends in a consonant, we put iĝ) Then, the word is went which means it is the past tense. The tense is put at the beginning of the verb, past is Ij, present is Iaj and future is Oj. Our word now becomes ''Ijczáfeğ'' - I went. The word to is unnecesary, as i went and the object is enough to convey meaning. The article 'the' is Łe, which stands alone if the noun begins with a consonant, but if it begins with a vowel, you join it to the word like so, Ł'---. The word for shop is ''ennerto'' so ''the'' shop is ''ł'ennerto''. Throughout that process, we can now make our sentence complete. '''Ijczáfeğ Ł'ennerto''' means 'I went to the shop.'

Terce/Periont's script 8567 58759 2010-12-28T00:24:08Z Muke 1 oops lya -> rla '''[[../Periont/]]''' was one of the names given to a traveler from the [[../Southern Land/]] who learned the art of writing in [[../Sindie/]] and made use of a modified form of [[Brahmi script|their script]] to write [[../Periont's language|his own language]]. The memoir of his travel from the Southern Land to [[../Aptat Tol/]], written in the [[../Timeline|4th century BCE]], is the primary example of this script. The script is sometimes called the '''Southern script''', though this is a misnomer as it was never known or used in the Southern Land. It is an [[abugida]] with geometric letterforms.

''Hé'' for example is a morpheme with the rough lexical meaning of 'house'. As a verb, it means 'to be a house': ''hé ij'', 'it is a house'. However, this phrase - ''hé ij'' - may also be treated as a nominal, in which case it is translated as 'house': ''semi hé is éé'', (smoke house 3p.ABS PERF) 'the house smoked' (note case marking on ''ij''). Used as modifiers - that is, preceding a nominalised stative verb - they act as adjectives and their meaning is generally 'alike to' or 'possessing the quality of': : ''Umu hé ij'' - a red house These morphemes may be compounded head-finally: : ''lacáhé ij'' - an inn (travel-house) ==== Reduplication ==== The lexical root may be reduplicated morphologically. In noun phrases, this conveys a sense of totality: 'all the houses': : ''hé-hé ij'' - all the houses If a root is longer than two syllables, in most cases only the last two syllables will be reduplicated: : ''lacáhé-cáhé ij'' - all the inns === Particle, demonstratives and postpositions === The particle ''ij'' is etymologically a nominaliser but was during an earlier phase of the language followed almost invariably by the phonologically similar third person pronoun ''iz''/''is'' and inherited that pronoun's inflectional forms. It is invariable for number and case but may be modified by, in this order, demonstratives, possession marking, and postpositions. In speech, the vowel is often elided and the particle affixes to the previous word (thus ''héj'', ''lacáhéj'', ''umuj'' from ''hé ij'', ''lacáhé ij'' and ''umu ij''). : ''hé ij uy'' - this house : ''hé ij ne'' - the house of... : ''hé ij yá'' - by the house : ''hé ij uy ne'' - this house of... : ''hé ij uy yá'' - by this house : ''hé ij uy ne yá'' - by this house belonging to... There is only one demonstrative, ''uy'', which may mean 'this', 'that' or 'yonder' depending on context. The dative postposition, ''-uyyu'' and the possession marker ''ne'' elide together to produce the form ''iyyu'': : ''hé ij uy iyyu'' - to this house belonging to... The possession marker ''ne'' may occur with or without a genitive. Without a genitive, it is equivalent to a possessive adjective with the person assumed from context: ''hé ij ne'' - my/your/his/our/their house. With the genitive, it may or may not co-occur with the genitive postposition ''na''. Most situations allow co-occurrence, but higher registers of the language prefer ''ne'' alone (''na'' is a comparatively recent addition to the language, originally meaning 'from', and does not appear in older literature). : ''hé ij uy (ne) yá Juni ij (na)'' - by this house belonging to Johnny == Pronouns == The true pronouns are comparatively rarely used as pronouns in spoken Hariiji. They are acceptable only in the most informal situations. Elsewhere, noun forms like ''ustála ij'' (servant) are used instead. The third person pronouns are used with stative verbs to form nominals. <table> <tr><th></th><th>Ergative</th><th>Absolutive</th><th>Stative</th></tr> <tr><td>1p</td><td>Uz</td><td>Us</td><td>Uj</td></tr> <tr><td>2p</td><td>Ar</td><td>At</td><td>Ap</td></tr> <tr><td>3p</td><td>Iz</td><td>Is</td><td>Ij</td></tr> </table> === Ergative === Hariiji is an ergative language. The ergative marks the agent of a verb. *An intransitive verb with an agentive argument treats it like a causative: : ''mutu iz ustála is 'aa'' (die 3p.ERG servant 3p.ABS PRET) - 'he made the servant die' = he killed the servant. *A transitive verb with an agentive argument has what would normally be considered the 'subject' in the ergative: : ''yé iz ustála is'' (speak 3p.ERG servant 3p.ABS) - he speaks to the servant *The ergative is also used to mark causatives. The original agent of a transitive verb is demoted to absolutive and the patient to dative: : ''yé iz is ustála ij-uyyu'' (speak 3p.ERG 3ps.ABS servant 3p.STAT-DAT) - he makes her speak to the servant === Absolutive === The absolutive marks the patient of a verb. *An intransitive verb with only one argument will only ever have an absolutive argument: :''Mutu is'' (die 3p.ABS) - he dies *A transitive verb's 'object' will always be in the absolutive: :''Yé iz is'' (talk 3p.ERG 3p.ABS) - he talks to him *Causative verbs demote their agent to an absolutive (and their object to a dative): :''Yé iz is is-uyyu'' (talk 3p.ERG 3p.ABS 3p.STAT-DAT) - he makes her talk to him === Allocutive particles === The allocutive particles are a set of sentence-final particles that mark the listener's social status. When a group comprising members of different social statuses is being addressed, Hariiji defaults to the form appropriate to the most prestigious member of the group. <table> <tr><th>Particle</th><th>Level of formality</th></tr> <tr><td>''ca''</td><td>Inferior</td></tr> <tr><td>''cáá''</td><td>Friend</td></tr> <tr><td>''ut''</td><td>Formal</td></tr> <tr><td>''cú''</td><td>Respectful</td></tr> <tr><td>''sa''</td><td>Worshipful</td></tr> </table> The particles are not compulsory in the lowest registers of informal speech but elsewhere are typically required. Even when neither the subject nor the object of a sentence is the listener, the allocutive will be present: : ''Ni cúta 'aa is hé ij sa'' (out come PERF 3p.ABS house 3p.STAT ALL.WORSH) - He came out of the house, o worshipful one The inferior pronouns are used to address social inferiors generally. Social equals may also be addressed with these forms in banter in some extremely informal situations, but generally use of this pronoun is highly offensive. ''Ca'' is also used by parents to address their children. Use of ''cáá'' is usually restricted to close friends. ''Ut'' is the typical particle used when addressing others of similar social standing, whilst ''cú'' is used for those of clearly higher social standing. ''Sa'' is the most respectful and is used to address high nobility, higher members of the priesthood and royalty. Slaves typically address their masters with ''sa''. == Conjunctions == Hariiji only has four conjunctions which can be split into a syntactic category of their own. These conjunctions are ''ke'', 'and' (coordinates two nominals), ''yu'', 'and' (coordinates two phrases or two verbs), ''sa'', 'if' (introduces counterfactual statements - much more widely used than English 'if'), and ''na'', 'but'. ''Ke'' has two forms, ''yu'', ''se'' and ''na'' four, which are discussed below. === Neutral forms === These forms (''yu'', ''na'', ''sa'') are used to link two sentences where the absolutive argument is the same, without any particular emphasis: : ''Ni cúta is yú yá cúta is'' - he comes and he goes (TOWARDS come 3ps.ABS and.COOR AWAY go 3ps.ABS) ''Ke'' is used to coordinate two nominals: : ''lacáhé ij ke hé ij tye'' - an inn and three houses === Switch forms === These forms (''yú'', ''ná'', ''sá'') are used to link two sentences where the absolutive arguments are different, without any particular emphasis. ''Ke'' has no switch form. : ''Ni cúta is yú yá cúta is'' - he comes and he (someone else) goes (TOWARDS come 3ps.ABS and.SWITCH AWAY go 3ps.ABS) === Emphatic forms === These forms (''yut'', ''nat'', ''sat'') are used to link two sentences where the absolutive argument is the same but the second element is emphasised or unexpected: : ''Ni cúta is nat yá cúta is'' - he came, but then he went! (TOWARDS come 3ps.ABS but_EMPH AWAY go 3ps.ABS) ''Ket'' is used in a similar way with two nominals: : ''lacáhé ij ket hé ij tye'' - an inn AND three houses! === Switch emphatic forms === These forms (''yus'', ''nas'', ''sas'') are used to link two sentences where the absolutive argument is different and the second element is emphasised or unexpected. ''Ke'' obviously has no switch emphatic form. : ''Ni cúta is yus yá cúta is'' - he came, and then HE (another person) went (TOWARDS come 3ps.ABS and_SWITCH.EMPH AWAY go 3ps.ABS) === Use of ''sa'' === ''Sa'' is used to introduce almost all non-factual propositions. It can often be translated as 'if': : ''Mutu is uz sa ni cúta is'' - I will kill him if he comes (kill 3p.ABS 1p.ERG if TOWARDS come 3p.ABS However, there is no distinction made between factual and hypothetical conditionals (e.g. 'if he came tomorrow' and 'if he comes tomorrow' in English). The above sentence may equally be translated as 'I would kill him if he came'. The interpretation depends on context. == Verbal system == === Directional prefixes === Two postpositions may be found as enclitics to the verb to add directional information. With verbs of motion these are compulsory. These postpositions are ''ni'' (towards the deictic centre), ''yá'' (away from the deictic centre): : ''Ni cúta is'' - he comes : ''Yá cúta is'' - he goes === Morphology === Dynamic verbs, that is, those describing actions, have three morphological forms. The ''-é'' or ''-a'' form is the least marked form and has no specific meaning attached to it. Removal of the final ''-é'' or ''-a'' produces an intensive form, used for various different purposes detailed below. Affixation of an ''-ú'' to the unmarked form produces a subordinate form, used in nominal clauses (removal of the unmarked suffix then produces an intensive relative form in most dialects). Adverbial clauses use the unmarked form plus a postposition, such as ''én'', which creates temporal adverbials with the meaning 'at'. ==== Unmarked form ==== This form, marked by ''-é'' or ''-a'' in most verbs, is used in the vast majority of situations where the verb is not intensive (see below). It is found in main clauses and adverbial clauses, accompanied by a nominalising preposition which attaches to it as a clitic. Alone it has a perfective meaning: : ''Ni cúta is'' - he comes : ''Ni cúta-én is '' - when he comes ==== Reduplicated form ==== Verbs may be reduplicated. Most verbs, if more than two syllables long, will only reduplicate the last syllable in the second half of the compound, and many common verbs also reduplicate partially. Only the second half takes morphological marking. Reduplicated forms typically have an occasional or distributive meaning: : ''Ni cúta-ta is'' - he comes now and again : ''Yéna-na is iz'' - he puts them here and there : ''Yé-yé is iz aa'' - he spoke to each of them in turn They are also used for reciprocals with a special form of the ergative pronoun (formed by reduplication of the first vowel): : ''Yé-yé iz-i aa'' - they spoke to each other ==== Intensive form ==== The intensive form is derived from an unmarked or reduplicated form by removing the final vowel. It gives the sense that someone did something with more effort than usual: : ''Ni y' is'' - he spoke powerfully : ''Ni yé-y' is'' - he spoke powerfully to each of them It can be used in contrast with other statements or to place emphasis on the verb: : ''Yá cúta is, é?'' - ''Yá cút' is!'' - Did he go? Yes, he did go! It is also used to mark new information which surprises the speaker: : ''May' is!'' - and he can sing, too! In the colloquial language, the intensive has increasingly come to be used almost by default following fronted elements, whilst at the same time, the use of fronting to mark new information has likewise become more common. For this reason, the intensive is sometimes referred to as the 'novotopical mood'. Nevertheless, its use as a true intensive, and indeed as a mirative, persists where no fronted topic appears. ==== Relative form ==== The relative form is used in adjectival and nominal clauses. It is derived from the intensive form with the suffix ''-ú''. There is no conjunction or equivalent to 'that', so the ''-ú'' form is the only marker of the presence of such clauses: : ''Kétis yá cúta-ú is'' - they say that he went Relative clauses are typically PAV in order (note that the directional prefix precedes the arguments), although this is simply the least marked order: : ''Émi ij yá is cúta-ú'' - the man that went Removal of the 'unmarked' suffix (usually ''-a'' or ''é'') produces an intensive relative: : ''Émi ij yá is cút-ú'' - the man that went now and again === Aspect === There are a number of particles indicating aspect. These inflect to show the interrogative, which is used to ask yes-no questions (i.e. closed questions). The first particle form given is the stative form, the second the interrogative. <table> <tr><th>Particle</th><th>Name</th><th>Example</th><th>Translation</th></tr> <tr><td>'''/un''</td><td>Continuous</td><td>''Yé ar is''</td><td>You are speaking to him</td></tr> <tr><td>'''aa/'ii''</td><td>Perfect</td><td>''Yé ar is 'ii?''</td><td>Have you spoken to him?</td></tr> <tr><td>''ús/úú''</td><td>Habitual</td><td>''Yé ar is úú''</td><td>You speak to him all the time.</td></tr> <tr><td>''út/útú''</td><td>Stative</td><td>''Yé at''</td><td>You (can) speak.</td></tr> <tr><td>''rá/lá''</td><td>Inchoative</td><td>''Yé at lá?''</td><td>Did you start speaking?</td></tr> <tr><td>''sú/súú''</td><td>Durative</td><td>''Yé is sú''</td><td>He talked for hours.</td></tr> <tr><td>''rúú/lúú''</td><td>Continuative</td><td>''Yé is rúú''</td><td>He was still talking</td></tr> <tr><td>''náá/yáá''</td><td>Intentive</td><td>''Yé uz is náá''</td><td>I plan/want to speak to him</td></tr> </table> None of these aspects really imply any kind of tense, apart from debatably the intentive which implies futurity. All of them may be used in any tense based on context and the tense is typically disambiguated by use of temporal adverbs like 'yesterday'. ==== Unmarked (continuous) form ==== This marks ongoing action or an action without any particular aspectual characteristics. ==== Perfect ==== To a degree, this is equivalent to both the English 'have' perfect and the English past tense in general. It is not necessarily past, however - it simply notes that an action has occurred before the point of reference: : ''Yé uz is, na yéti is'' - I spoke to him, but he's still unhappy ==== Habitual ==== This marks habitual action. ==== Durative ==== This implies a long-lasting action. It often although not necessarily implies boredom or is used to convey a sense of time passing in stories: : ''Ténu is sú'' - many years passed (pass_a_year 3ps.ABS DUR) ==== Continuative ==== The continuative resumes a former description of an imperfective action - for example 'he was walking, I went away, I came back, he was still (durative) walking'. It often, but not always, can be translated with the English adverb 'still': : ''Yí is lacáá rúú'' - he was still there === Preverbal slot === There is a syntactic slot present before the verb in which any argument may be placed. This is done for a variety of reasons, including emphasis or contrast: : ''Júún is yé uz'' - I'm speaking to John (of all people)/I'm speaking to John (not someone else)! In the colloquial language, there is an increasing tendency towards using this slot to mark new information, which overlaps to a degree with the English indefinite article. This almost universally appears with the intensive mood: : ''Júún is yé uz'' - I was speaking to John (a new factor in this conversation) There are also concerns of respect. Typically arguments significantly higher on the hierarchy than a speaker are fronted without the argument being particularly marked: : ''Júún is yé uz'' - I was speaking to John (the much-respected individual who is one of my betters) When this slot is not filled by an argument, one of the aspect particles may be (and usually is) placed there instead, cliticising to the verb: : ''Lúú-yé at?'' - were you still speaking? === Volitional and non-volitional verbs === Classical Hariiji possessed a highly productive volitional suffix, ''-té'', which is retained as an infix (''-d-'', or ''-t''' in the intensive) in a handful of verbs when they are not in the unmarked form (although not all of these verbs are transparently volitional in meaning in modern Hariiji): : ''rúú at yé-d-ú'' - that you were still speaking : ''rúú-yé-t' at'' - you were still really speaking === Serial verb constructions === Two verbs may be placed in conjunction. Only the second takes inflection. With normal verbs, this typically gives the sense of somebody doing two things at once or in direct sequence: : ''rúú-susé yé-t' at''' - you were still shouting and waving your arms around (CONT-gesticulate speak-INTENS 2ps) : ''ar ni yéné s' is 'ii''' - you turned (towards him) and shot him (2ps.ERG VEN turn shoot-INTENS 3ps.ABS PERF) Note that in the last sentence, despite the first verb (''yéné'') being intransitive and thus typically taking the absolutive, in this situation, because it is the first verb, it can take the agentive as its only argument. There are large numbers of auxiliary verb constructions, however, which also make use of this structure: : ''sa rasé as''' - you enjoy shooting (shoot enjoy 2ps.ABS) : ''ni sa uni as''' - you can shoot (VEN shoot stand 2ps.ABS) == Adverbs == === Adverbs of manner === ==== Formation ==== The vast majority of adverbs of manner are formed by adding the desired adjective to the noun ''túla'' alongside ''ke'', meaning 'and' or 'with', which translates literally as 'with a... face': : ''Yé at ke yusi túla ij'' - you spoke quickly (with a quick face) ''Ket'', the emphatic form of ''ke'', can be used to add a sense of surprise or contrast: : ''Yé at ket yusi túla ij'' - you spoke quickly (and we were expecting you to speak slowly) ==== Comparison and intensitivity ==== The comparative is formed with the addition of a genitive to the ''túla''-phrase. The 'possessor' is the object to which the adverb is being compared. Note that the comparative and the superlative are not distinguished from each other. : ''Yé at ket yusi túla ij ne ém-émi ij na'' - you spoke faster than all (other) men The deletion of the genitive and the retention of merely ''ne'' may suggest superlativity or not depending on context: : ''Yé at ket yusi túla ij ne'' - he spoke faster/the fastest Verbal phrases may be nominalised with ''ij'': : ''Yé at ket yusi túla ij ne (us-)suté ij na'' - you spoke faster than (I could) write The intensive may also be used in the adjectives by the deletion of the final vowel (typically ''i''): : ''Yé at ket yus' túla ij'' - you spoke really quickly Note that the modified verb may also be placed in the intensive, often for a similar effect: : ''Y' at ket yusi túla ij'' - you spoke really quickly Brithenig Lexicon 8608 58828 2011-01-06T00:12:39Z - andrew 211 ==[[Brithenig Lexicon A, a]]== ==[[Brithenig Lexicon B, b]]== ==[[Brithenig Lexicon C, c]]== Brithenig Lexicon A, a 8609 58815 2011-01-05T00:38:34Z - andrew 211 {| |'''a'''||a||''prep.''||to, at' |- |'''a'''||a||''n.f.''||'that (pronoun)' |- |'''a!'''||a||''interj.''||'ah!' |- |'''a buis'''||a'buɪs||''prep.''||'by (adv)' |- |'''a chomyd'''||a xɔ'mi:d||''prep.''||'all over' |- |'''a sew ddewphedd'''||a sɛʊ ðɛʊ'fɛ:ð||''phr.''||'on foot' |- |'''a ddors yn cafal'''||a'ðɔ:rs iŋka'va:l||''phr.''||'on horseback' |- |'''a fas'''||a'va:s||''prep''||'down, below' |- |'''a fodd'''||a'vɔ:ð||''adv.''||'away, off' |- |'''a'll diawl!'''||aɬdiaʊl||''interj.''||'bugger it!

kémani'', or simply ''kémani'') is one of several languages spoken by the people of the planet Ŵadin on the continent called Wytn. The name of the language means 'people's', or 'of men'. It is a language in the family called Weyr, and counts among its closest relatives ''Pantrelai'' (also called Pantrelan), and ''Jéi kémani'' (which is also called Baljek Weyr or Tradweyr, and should not be confused with Sandic Weyr despite their similarities). It is split into several significant though mostly mutally-intelligible dialects, among them Southern Yaundi (Kafédi, 'of the nomads'), Northern Yaundi (Hijjagi, 'of the desert'), and Atipican (Étibikai, 'of the Atipicans'). As Northern Yaundi is the best-documented as of now (29-Jan-11), this article will mainly provide information on that dialect. ''In our world (read: in real life) this language is used as a personal conlang. Its vocabulary is mostly unique to itself, however there are numerous (and usually obvious) exceptions. The language has no purpose other than to be enjoyed by its 'writer'.'' =Grammar= ==Letters and such== Note: all pronunciations are based off of the sound of the highlighted parts of the given words as they appear in American English, except where otherwise stated. Words are spelled as they were pronounced at one time, but over the growth and evolution of this language some sounds (such as the accusative plural ending -bin and the plural adjective marker -in) have changed from the way they are written. Thus the written form of some words varies slightly from how the word is actually said. These divergences will be discussed in their respective sections below. ===Vowels=== a â e é i î o u ú y *a as in b'''a'''ll *â as in '''ha'''ll *e as in gr'''ie'''f *é as in l'''ay''' *i as in '''i'''n *î as in '''eye''' *o as in '''o'''ver *u as in y'''ou''' *ú as in '''u'''nder *y as in '''y'''esterday ===Consonants=== b c d f g h j jj k l m n p r s t v w ŵ x z lē *b as in '''b'''all *c and s as in '''s'''nake *d as in '''d'''ull *f as in '''f'''ast *g as in '''g'''irl but also sometimes as in cli'''ck''' *h as in '''h'''ow *j as in '''sh'''oe *jj as in '''j'''ust *k as in '''c'''ow *l as in '''l'''ate *m as in '''m'''an *n as in '''n'''umber *p as in '''p'''urse *r as pronounced in spanish, but also sometimes as in the word '''r'''are *t as in '''t'''oggle *v as in '''f'''ast but also sometimes as in '''v'''est *w as in '''v'''est *ŵ as in '''w'''ater *x as in kic'''ks''' but also sometimes as in '''s'''oft *z as in '''z'''oom but sometimes as in gif'''ts''' *lē sort of like in German ''''ich'''' ===Nouns=== Nouns have no separate ending which distinguishes them from verbs (or vice-versa), which can make telling the two apart a skill which must be acquired through much practice (or learning the language natively). There are two definite articles: Ba and Ta, of which Ba marks singular nouns and Ta marks plurals. Nouns decline both by number and by case. ====Declining by number:==== *'''nahx''' (meaning 'cat') becomes *'''nahxan''' (meaning 'cats') Note that to create a plural one simply adds +(a)n to the noun. To give a further example of creating a plural noun, we'll use 'jéúmé', which means tree. *'''jéúmé''' ('tree') becomes *'''jéúmén''' ('trees') ====Declining by case:==== *'''nahx''' ('cat') becomes *'''nahxab''' ('cat' in the accusative) *'''nahxan''' ('cats') becomes *'''nahxabin''' ('cats' in the accusative) Again, we'll use jéúmé as a second example: *'''jéúmé''' ('tree') becomes *'''jéúméb''' ('tree' in the accusative) *'''jéúmén''' ('trees') becomes *'''jéúmébin''' ('trees' in the accusative) :*A note about the pronunciation of '-bin' Though the accusative plural ending for nouns is spelled -bin, in modern speech this is most commonly reduced to '-pi'. The written form -bin persists, however. ===Pronouns=== ====Base pronouns==== *I -- Felē *You -- Péhâ *He -- Ka *She -- Aé *It -- Ba *We -- Aŵ *You (pl/fml) -- Pélēa *They -- Élsol ====Pronoun verb markers==== Every pronoun has an associated verb-marker which is derived from the full form of the given pronoun. These are used to conjugate verbs (see the verb section for more details). *I -- e *You -- pé *He -- ka *She -- é *It -- ba *We -- aŵ *You (pl/fml) -- lēé *They -- o ====Pronoun accusative forms==== *I -- fiab *You -- piab *He -- kiab *She -- atiab *It -- biab *We -- ŵiab *You (pl/fml) -- lēiab *They -- otiab ===Adjectives=== Adjectives decline only by number and not by case. Adjectives have distinct markers which make them easy to distinguish in sentences. Adjectives which modify singular nouns end with -i and adjectives which modify plural nouns end in -in. :*A note about the pronunciation of '-in' Similar to what happened to -bin over time, -in has also been reduced to the point where, when spoken, it is identical to -i (the marker for adjectives which modify singular nouns). The written distinction remains. ===Verbs=== ==Numbers== ===Cardinal Numbers=== * '''neot''' - zero / nothing * '''tré''' - one * '''jé''' - two * '''ké''' - three * '''ulēor''' - four * '''pén''' - five * '''xs''' - six * '''har''' - seven * '''geté''' - eight * '''jek''' - nine * '''soir''' - ten * '''sosoir''' - (one) hundred * '''zasoir''' - (one) thousand * '''soir zasoiran''' - ten thousand * '''sosoir zasoiran''' - (one) hundred thousand ===Other Numbers=== * '''soir mé tré''' - eleven * '''soir mé jé''' - twelve * '''soir mé ké''' - thirteen * '''soir mé ulēor''' - fourteen * '''soir mé pén''' - fifteen * '''jésoir mé tré''' - twenty-one * '''jésoir mé jé''' - twenty-two * '''jé sosoiran ber soir mé tré''' - two hundred eleven * '''xs zasoiran ber ké sosoiran ber jésoir mé tré''' - six thousand three hundred and twenty-one Etc, etc. ===Ordinal Numbers=== Write the number word and then add -i (adjective marker thing). * '''tréi''' - first * '''soir zasoirani''' - ten thousandth * '''ba xs zasoiran ber ké sosoiran ber jésoir mé tréi''' - the six thousand three hundred and twenty-first Etc, etc. ==Examples== This section aims to familiarize the viewer with the 'look and feel' of Sandic Weyr. Below are some examples of texts which have been translated into or have originated in Sandic Weyr. ===The Lord's Prayer (Nothern Yaundi)=== ''See [[Our Father|here]].'' ===Ba top Babial (The tower of Babel, Northern Yaundi)=== :1.

This seems like a good idea at least for those changes that ''are'' systematic (like zj sj → ʒ ʃ in English). Notable non-systematic changes like p → ɸ, f do seem to call for noting on the individual segment's page; but stuff like n → ɾ might not necessarily. :I agree that one individual page per change would be overkill. --[[User:Tropylium|<span class="IPA">Trɔpʏliʊm</span>]] • [[User talk:Tropylium|blah]] 11:39, 16 January 2011 (PST) Проект1A4 8622 58918 2011-01-16T20:53:09Z Ulsh 1451 Plosives [p b t d c ɟ] 'p b t d c j' Fricatives: [x ɣ s z] 'h g s z' Liquids : [ʎ w j n m ŋ] 'l w y n m ñ' Affricates: [cʎ̥ ts dz] 'cl ts dz' Vowels: [i I u ʊ o ə a ɐ] 'i e u ü o ö a ä' [x] near [i] becomes [ç], [ɣ] near [i] becomes [ʝ] *future allophones * (C)V(V)(C) No [ŋ] as onset No [c] or [ɟ] as codas definite direct object marker -lu [-ʎu] (-V) (yä/e/i-) if something ends with a vowel w/ these suffixes 1st sg | 2nd sg | 3rd sg inanimate | 3rd sg animate/formal -äñ [ɐŋ] | -i [i] | -äd [ɐd] |-ämü [ɐmʊ] 1st pl | 2nd pl | 3rd pl inanimate | 3rd pl animate/formal -en [-In] | -il [iʎ] | -ecl [Icʎ̥] I -eñü [Iŋʊ] 1st sg acc | 2nd sg acc | 3rd sg acc -äñ [ɐŋ] | -i [i] | -ät [ɐt] |-äts [ɐts] 1st pl acc | 2nd pl acc | 3rd pl acc -emän [-Imɐn] | -etän [-Itɐn] | -etsan [-Itsan] Plural animate: -lel Plural inanimate: -ho oehu [oIxu] - 'to be' ehuñ [Ixuŋ] | gohu [ɣoxu] | oehu [oIxu] | oexumü [oIxumʊ] ehen [IxIn] | gohul [ɣoxuʎ] | oehel [oIxIʎ] | oexeñü [oIxIŋʊ] durative prefix - cö [cə] To laugh - letäm dative suffix - tsü sound - juwa ma - marks a question, 'what' [Dialect A] - main dialect, prestige accent, court language, literary dialect etc [Dialect B] - [cʎ̥] realized as [ǂ], ????

The name of the conlang literally means "created language," or "made-up language." Chreientae is a priori language, despite few loan words from languages such as English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. = Phonology & Orthography = The phonology and orthography are quite different than most other languages. There a quite a bit of various sounds in this languages, which makes it unique in a way. Both the phonology and orthography are not based off of any natural language. == Consonants == PHONOLOGY: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Bilabial || Labiodental || Dental || Alveolar || Postalveolar || Palatal || Labial-Palatal || Velar || Labaial-Velar || Uvular || Glottal |- !Plosive |/p/ /b/ || || || /t/ /d/ || || || || /k/ /g/ || || /q/ /ɢ/ || /ʔ/ |- !Nasal | /m/ || || || /n/ || || /ɲ/ || || /ŋ/ || || || |- !Trill | || || || /r/ || || || || || || /ʀ/ || |- !Fricative | || /f/ /v/ || /θ/ /ð/ || /s/ /z/ || /ʃ/ /ʒ/ || || || /x/ /ɣ/ || || || |- !Lateral Fricative | || || || /ɬ/ /ɮ/ || || || || || || || |- !Approximant | || || || || || /j/ || /ɥ/ || || /w/ || || |- !Lateral Approximant | || || || /l/ || || || /ʎ/ || || || || |} ORTHOGRAPHY: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Bilabial || Labiodental || Dental || Alveolar || Postalveolar || Palatal || Labial-Palatal || Velar || Labaial-Velar || Uvular || Glottal |- !Plosive |p b || || || t d || || || || k g || || q c || w |- !Nasal |m || || || n || || gn** || || ng** || || || |- !Trill | || || || r || || || || || || r* || |- !Fricative | || f v || th** ð || s s* || ş z || || || ch** h || || || |- !Lateral Fricative | || || || tl** dl** || || || || || || || |- !Approximant | || || || || || j || ȳ || || ł || || |- !Lateral Approximant | || || || l || || || gl** || || || || |} <nowiki>*</nowiki> The times when these consonants take this pronunciation must be memorized <nowiki>**</nowiki> The times when these consonants are pronounced exactly the way they look must be memorized == Vowels == PHONOLOGY: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Front || || Central || || Back |- !Close |/i/ /y/ || || || || /u/ |- ! | || /ɪ/ /ʏ/ || || /ʊ/ || |- !Close-Mid |/e/ /ø/ || || || || /o/ |- ! | || || /ə/ || || |- !Open-Mid |/ɛ/ /œ/ || || || || /ɔ/ |- ! |/æ/ || || || || |- !Open |/a/ || || || || |} ORTHOGRAPHY: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Front || || Central || || Back |- !Close |i* y* || || || || u* |- ! | || i** y** || || u** || |- !Close-Mid |e* ø* || || || || o* |- ! | || || e*** || || |- !Open-Mid |e** ø** || || || || o** |- ! |a** || || || || |- !Open |a* || || || || |} <nowiki>*</nowiki> These vowels are called "long vowels" and are pronounced this way when before one consonant, another vowel, or at the end of a word. These vowels are actually elongated when doubled or when there's an acute accent on the letter (which also makes that vowel's syllable stressed). <nowiki>**</nowiki> These vowels are called "short vowels" and are pronounced this way when before two or more consonants, which included digraphs. <nowiki>***</nowiki> This vowel is pronounced this way when unstressed in most situations === Diphthongs === PHONOLOGY: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Front || Back |- !Close-Mid |/eɪ/ /eʊ/ /øʏ/ || /oɪ/ /oʊ/ |- !Open |/aɪ/ /aʊ/ || |} ORTHOGRAPHY: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Front || Back |- !Close-Mid |ey eu øy || oe ou |- !Open |ae au || |} <nowiki>*</nowiki> All of these diphthongs' sounds are lengthened when an acute accent is added on the first letter. This also puts the stress on that diphthong's syllable. <nowiki>**</nowiki> When a diaeresis is placed on the second letter of a supposed diphthong, it tells you that each vowel is pronounced separately. Also, if there is an acute accent on the second letter in a supposed diphthong, it tells you that each letter is pronounced separately and the vowel with the acute accent's syllable is stressed. == Stress == Stress is usually on the second to last syllable of a word. The stress of a certain syllable can be changed when that syllable's vowel or diphthong has an acute on it. Another exception is when adding the definite article suffix; even though another syllable may be added, the stress is the same as if that suffix was not there. There are few other exception, but when there are, those must me memorized. = Grammar = The grammar of Chreyentae is quite similar to that of Indo-European languages. However, there are some unique qualities the language. == Nouns == The way nouns work in Chreyentae are very similar to many Indo-European languages. There are three genders, two numbers, one article, three persons, and eight cases. === Gender === Three genders exist in Chreyentae. A noun's gender is important is seeing which article it takes, how it declines, etc. A noun's gender usually just must be memorized, however, there are a few tricks that makes memorizing or guessing a noun's gender. ==== Masculine ==== Most masculine nouns ends in a consonant, however consonant-ending nouns may also be feminine or neuter. Nouns that end in ''-ta'', ''a vowel with an acute accent on it'', or ''any diphthong'' are always masculine. Also, any noun that depicts a male person is always masculine. EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 !Chreyentae || English |- |amsa || man |- |loch || book |- |sahóm || bag |- |brota || brother |- |balachá || floor |- |galostae || sadness |} ==== Feminine ==== Most feminine nouns end in ''-a'', however, there are many feminine nouns that end in a consonant. Nouns that end in ''-i'' or ''-ach'' are always feminine. Any noun that depicts a female person is always feminine. EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 !Chreyentae || English |- |fymma || woman |- |kiasa || cat |- |gítari || guitar |- |máðraas || school |- |faðach || marker |- |fjaeða || faith |} ==== Neuter ==== Most neuter nouns end in ''-o'', however, there are many neuter nouns that end in a consonant. Nouns that end in ''-j'', ''-ł'', ''-ȳ'', and ''any doubled vowel'' are always neuter. {| class="wikitable" border=1 !Chreyentae || English |- |bawan || child |- |siato || dog |- |neh || evening |- |kangee || store |- |dafáej || nail |- |waan || house |} === Articles === There is only one article in Chreyentae. Other articles used to be used, however they have been taken out of the language completely. ==== Definite Article ==== In Chreyentae, the definite article is a suffix added to the noun based on gender, but not number nor case. It comes after the declension of the noun. The suffix also depends on whether or not the word ends in a vowel or consonant. Another important thing to note is that when the definite article has its own syllable, it doesn't change the original stress of the word. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || vowel ending || consonant ending |- !m. | -n || -en |- !f. | -m || -am |- !n. | -ð || -ið |- |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || No Article || Definite Article |- !m. |amsa || amsan |- !m. |loch || lochen |- !f. |fymma || fymmam |- !f. |máðraas || máðraasam |- !n. |siato || siatoð |- !n. |bawan || bawanið |- |} === Cases === Nouns decline based on case. There are eight cases in Chreyentae, and the endings are different depending on the gender and number. Some verbs make the noun proceeding it take a certain case, and sometimes one verb can change meaning depending on which case the noun proceeding it is in. Also, all propositions have a certain case. ==== Nominative ==== The nominative case is used when the noun is the subject of the sentence. Also, certain verbs like ''vaera'' (to be), ''ðiałara'' (to become), etc. take the nominative case. Since the dictionary form of a noun and the nominative singular are exactly the same, in the chart below, the ending will appear as blank. In future reference, if an ending is blank, it just means that the dictionary form is used in that particular instance. One thing good to note is that when masculine nouns end in a vowel, the vowel is never dropped. This goes the same for neuter nouns that end in a double vowel. However, the vowel ending on any other feminine and neuter nouns must be dropped. The letters in parenthesis represent an extra letter that must be added to the end if the word end in a vowel (m.) or a doubled vowel (n.). {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | - || -(j)ii |- !f. | - || -i |- !n. | - || -(ł)a |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | loch || lochii |- !m. |amsa || amsajii |- !f. |fymma || fymmi |- !f. |opsjat || opsjati |- !n. |bawan || bawana |- !n. |kangee || kangeeła |- |} ==== Accusative ==== The accusative is used to mark the direct object of a verb. There are many verbs that take the accusative cases. Also, there are a few prepositions that take it. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | - || -(j)ii |- !f. | - || -i |- !n. | -(ł)oth || -(ł)aa |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | loch || lochii |- !m. |amsa || amsajii |- !f. |fymma || fymmi |- !f. |opsjat || opsjati |- !n. |bawanoth || bawanaa |- !n. |kangeełoth || kangeełaa |- |} ==== Genitive ==== The genitive is used when showing something's possession of the something else. There are few verbs that take the genitive case, but there are more prepositions that do. The genitive case is also used in place of the accusative (and occasionally nominative) when the verb directly affecting the noun is in the negative. When declining a neuter noun in the genitive, if the noun ends in a consonant, add the letters in the parenthesis. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | -(j)a || -(j)ae |- !f. | -acute accent on the first syllable || -acute accent on the first syllable+i |- !n. | -(e)n || -(i)ng |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | locha || lochae |- !m. |amsaja || amsajae |- !f. |fýmm || fýmmi |- !f. |ópsjat || ópsjati |- !n. |bawanen || bawaning |- !n. |kangeen || kangeeng |- |} ==== Dative ==== The dative is used to show the indirect object of an action or direction towards somewhere. Also, certain prepositions and verbs take this case. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | -(j)e || -(j)ee |- !f. | -no ending || -as |- !n. | -(ł)o || -(ł)ou |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | loche || lochee |- !m. |amsaje || amsajee |- !f. |fymm || fymmas |- !f. |opsjat || opsjatas |- !n. |bawano || bawanou |- !n. |kangeeło || kangeełou |- |} ==== Ablative ==== The ablative case is a prepositional case, meaning it's only used after a preposition. In same cases, however, the preposition is implied and can either be left in or dropped. It's used to show something moving away from something else. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | -s || -(j)os |- !f. | -ør || -øtt |- !n. | -s || -(ł)os |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | lochs || lochos |- !m. |amsas || amsajos |- !f. |fymmør || fymmøtt |- !f. |opsjatør || opsjatøtt |- !n. |bawans || bawanos |- !n. |kangees || kangeełos |- |} ==== Instrumental ==== The instrumental case is another prepositional case. In Chreyentae, it's used to show not only how someone does something, but also with time words. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | -(j)ó || -t |- !f. | -á || -ach |- !n. | -(ł)é || -(ł)ith |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | lochó || locht |- !m. |amsajó || amsat |- !f. |fymmá || fymmach |- !f. |opsjatá || opsjatach |- !n. |bawané || bawanith |- !n. |kangeełé || kangeełith |- |} ==== Locative ==== The locative case is used to express where something is and it is also a prepositional case. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | -(j)u || -(j)u |- !f. | -u || -u |- !n. | -(ł)u || -(ł)u |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | lochu || lochu |- !m. |amsaju || amsaju |- !f. |fymmu || fymmu |- !f. |opsjatu || opsjatu |- !n. |bawanu || bawanu |- !n. |kangeełu || kangeełu |- |} ==== Vocative ==== The vocative case is used when identifying someone or something directly. One odd aspect of this case is that when nouns are in the vocative case, they never had the definite article suffix. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | -(j)ij || -(j)oe |- !f. | -ij || -oe |- !n. | -(ł)ij || -(ł)oe |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Singular || Plural |- !m. | lochij || lochoe |- !m. |amsajij || amsajoe |- !f. |fymmij || fymmoe |- !f. |opsjatij || opsjatoe |- !n. |bawanij || bawanoe |- !n. |kangeełij || kangeełoe |- |} === Pronouns === Pronouns in Chreyentae aren't too complex. They're quite similar to those of other European languages. ==== Personal Pronouns ==== Personal pronouns decline based on number and person, and in the third person, gender. They also decline based on case.

Verb are conjugated based on aspect, evidentiality, mood, polarity, tense, transitivity, and voice. There are 6 classes of verbs that end in/are: (1) ''-a'', (2) ''-ta/-da/-tha-/-ða'', (3) ''-consonant+ja'', (4) ''-consonant+ła'', (5) ''-consonant+ȳa'', and (6) ''a vowel with any acute accent on it anywhere in the word+a''. There are also, of course, irregular verbs which don't follow the rules. === Tense === Two tenses exist in Chreyentae. ==== Present Tense ==== The present tense is used to express what one is doing currently or habitually. Also, since Chreyentae has no future tense, it is also used when talking about future actions. Words such as "tomorrow", "later", etc. can give context clues to whether or not what the speaker is talking about is in the future.

When dealing with a conjugated verb, one must just add the appropriate suffix to the conjugated verb. Also, it should be noted that when a verb is negated, if there is a noun in the accusative or nominative directly after the verb (or that if being affected by the verb), its case changes to genitive. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Ending |- !vá | –si |- !thu | –oss |- !onn/an/eðð | –sa |- !wi | -son |- !ju | -s |- !ott/at/ét | –soe |- |} EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || marasaa || bechtasaa || chabjasaa ||volłasaa || lasȳasaa || mémorinasaa |- !vá | marsi || bechtsi || chabisi || volusi || lasysi || mémorinsi |- !thu | marðoss || bechtoss || chabiððoss || voluððoss || lasyððoss || mémorinðoss |- !onn/an/eðð | mársa || béchtsa || chabísa || volúsa || lasýsa || meemorínsa |- !wi | marennson || bechtennson || chabjennson || volłennson || lasȳennson || mémorinennson |- !ju | marts || bechts || chabitts || volutts || lasytts || mémorints |- !ott/at/ét | marásoe || bechtásoe || chabjásoe || volłásoe || lasȳásoe || meemorinásoe |- |} === Aspect === ==== Present Perfect ==== The present perfect is a combination of the present tense and the perfect aspect in order to make an event that happened in the past that affects the present. Also, this form can be used for an event that happened in the past that will affect the future. In order to form this, you take the gerund form of the verb (which is formed by taking off the ''-a'' of a verb and then adding ''-en'' then put that directly before the subject of the sentence. Then, use the conjugated form of ''øðða'' EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! mara || subject || øðða |- | maren || va w || ee |- | maren || thu || að |- | maren || onn/an/eðð || é |- | maren || wi || ønn |- | maren || ju || øt |- | maren || ott/at/ét || ó |- |} ==== Past Perfect ==== The past perfect is used to show an event that has continuing relevance to a time in the past. It is form by adding the gerund form of the verb right before the subject and then adding the conjugated past form of ''øðða'' after the subject. EXAMPLES: {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! mara || subject || øðða |- | maren || va w || ae |- | maren || thu || aeð |- | maren || onn/an/eðð || áe |- | maren || wi || aenn |- | maren || ju || aet |- | maren || ott/at/ét || ajá |- |} ==== Imperfect ==== {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Ending |- !vá | –ia |- !thu | –iað |- !onn/an/eðð | –iá |- !wi | -jann |- !ju | -jat |- !ott/at/ét | –já |- |} === Mood === ==== Indicative ==== ==== Imperative ==== ==== Conditional ==== {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Ending |- !vá | –acute acent on the first syllable+ia |- !thu | –acute acent on the first syllable+iað |- !onn/an/eðð | –acute acent on the first syllable+iaa |- !wi | -acute acent on the first syllable+jann |- !ju | -acute acent on the first syllable+jat |- !ott/at/ét | –acute acent on the first syllable+jaa |- |} ==== Subjunctive ==== {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! || Ending |- !vá | –(e)m |- !thu | –t |- !onn/an/eðð | –acute acent on the last syllable+k |- !wi | -am |- !ju | -at |- !ott/at/ét | –ák |- |} ==== Interrogative ==== == Adjectives == One interesting aspect about Chreyentae is how its adjectives work. Adjectives always proceed the noun it is describing and must agree with it based on gender and number, but not case. In the case where one would is to verb ''to be'' in English + an adjective, in Chreyentae, one would just put the adjective. It should be noted as well that when used in this way, the adjective does not agree and uses its dictionary form. == Adverbs == == Prepositions == == Interjections == == Sentence Order == The sentence order in Chreyentae is a SVO language. In more complex sentences, it's rather: SUBJECT+VERB+ADVERB+ADJECTIVE+OBJECT+PREPOSITION+INDIRECT OBJECT+TIME EXPRESSION (if all of those were to be needed in the sentence). There are special cases that don't follow this rule or have special rules of their own. For example, relative clauses and aspects. Here are some basic sentences to display the sentence order in effect: I quickly give the big book to my friend at 3:00. - Vá rae váriit hranðen lochen ú voe froente a thrá øtrá. I don't know ''who that is''. - ''Chvi holam já jo'' vá søsi. I have ''eaten'' an apple. - ''Maren'' va w ee rafáes. == Relative Clauses / Adjective Clauses == Relative clauses in Chreientae is a bit unique. The relative pronoun usually comes first in the sentence, followed by the dependent clause, followed by the word jo, then finally followed by the independent clause. However, when it's an adjective clause, the pattern is as in English: independent clause + pronoun + verb/adjective. Here is the list of relative and adjective pronouns with examples: 1.thi … jo - that ('''Thi''' thu jerð voe froent '''jo''' ''vá sø''. - ''I know'' '''that''' you are my friend.) 2. chvi … jo – who ('''Chvi''' thu jerð '''jo''' ''vá sø''. - ''I know'' '''who''' you are.) 3. chvo … jo - what ('''Chvo''' thu fuuð '''jo''' ''vá søsi''. - ''I don't know'' '''what''' you're doing.) 4. chvu … jo – where ('''Chvu''' ott hó '''jo''' ''sonaté onn ði''? - ''Did he tell you'' '''where''' they're going?) 5. chvan … jo – when ('''Chvan''' thu lant '''jo''' ''sonate vi''. - ''Tell me'' '''when''' you're leaving.) 6. chvaren … jo – why ('''Chvaren''' onn már zo rafáes '''jo''' ''vá søsi''. - ''I don't know'' '''why''' he's eating that apple.) 7. fóran … jo – how ('''Fóran''' thu arjavað váriit ja '''jo''' ''vá søsi''. - ''I don't know'' '''how''' you got here so quickly.) 8. th(a) – that/who (''Pirónið'' '''tha''' már já voe froent. - ''The person'' '''who''' 's eating is my friend./''Pirónið'' '''th''' ár ú máðraasum já voe froent. - ''The person'' '''who''' 's at school is my friend.) == Numbers / Counting == Numbers and counting is pretty easy in Chreyentae. Counting and numbers themselves are similar to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc., counting isn't too difficult, but both are kind of unique to Chreyentae. {| class="wikitable" border=1 ! # || Number |- ! 1 | øth |- ! 2 | tsáe |- ! 3 | thrá |- ! 4 | kvøð |- ! 5 | jut |- ! 6 | sech |- ! 7 | şja |- ! 8 | eyj |- ! 9 | nu |- ! 10 | jont |- ! 100 | chaek |- ! 1,000,000 | mijon |- ! 10,000,000 | mánion |- ! 100,000,00 | sennen |} Those are all the "true" number in Chreyentae. To make number 11 - 99 is quite simple. For number 11 - 19, you just add "10" and then the corresponding number. For example, 11 would be jontøth (10-1). One thing to note is that if the number coming after "jont" (and "chaek") starts with a consonant, it turns into "jonte" (and "chaeke) (ex: jontetsáe - 12, chaeketsáe). However, when the consonant is "j", you don't add an "e". One feature that is a bit unique to Chreyentae is that there is technically no word for 1000. Instead, you say 10-100, which is written irregularly as jóntechaek. Thus, 10000 would be jont-jóntechaek, and 100000 would be chaek-jóntechaek '''Example Numbers''' 14 - jontekvøð 278 - tsáechaekeşjajonteyj 3,231 - thrájóntechaeketsáechaekethrájontøth 59,481 - jutjontenujóntechaekekvøðchaekeyjjontøth 999,999 - nuchaekenujontenujóntechaekenuchaekenujontenu In chreyentae, when you counting an item, the order is as follows: WORD+definite.article i (''or "j" if the number starts with a vowel'') NUMBER. So, for example, if you wanted to say "one apple," it would be "rafáesen j øth", three apples" would be "rafáesiin i thrá". = Chreyentae in Action = User:Bjorna Trollsdottir 8627 58961 2011-01-18T18:31:47Z Bjorna Trollsdottir 1452 '''Bjorna Trollsdottir''' - real name: Marta Teresa Perlińska.

''itereš'' "the language of between"; also called ''voldaran noguš'' "Oldnorgush"; pl. ''język iterski'') is a language of Norgush subbranch of Bircash languages. It had once been a national language of Kingdom of Norgu and after its extinction maintained as book language. ==History== Iteresh developed about I century of Norgu from norgush dialect of commonbircash. It kept almost all phonological structure unchanged when most of lexicone had been altered with many newly invented suffixes. In the VI century of Norgu Iteresh is in its classical period. Lateron, after extinction, this language standard will be thaught. Iteresh had been in use until XI century of Norgu, when replaced by Norgush, its offspring. Language stood in use in "book matters" - that means science, humanities, philosophy, ''[[vitatina]]'' and diplomacy. Among Norgush culture it is said that knowing Iteresh is a basis for a well educeted person. ==Phonology== <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=17 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Consonants |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Bilabial ||colspan=2| Labiod. ||colspan=2| Dental ||colspan=2| Alveolar ||colspan=2| Post-alv. ||colspan=2| Palatal ||colspan=2| Velar ||colspan=2| Glottal |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Nasal || || {{IPA|m}} || || || || || || {{IPA|n}} || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Plosive || {{IPA|p}} || {{IPA|b}} || || || || || {{IPA|t}} || {{IPA|d}} || || || || || {{IPA|k}} || {{IPA|g}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Fricative || || || {{IPA|f}} || {{IPA|v}} || || || {{IPA|s}} || {{IPA|z}} || {{IPA|ʃ}} || || || || {{IPA|x}} || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Affricate || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|ʧ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Approximants || || {{IPA|w}} || || || || || || || || || || {{IPA|j}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Trill || || || || || || || || {{IPA|r}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Lateral Approximant || || || || || || || || {{IPA|l}} |} </div> </div> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> {| style="text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1pt solid #c0c0c0;" !colspan=11 style="text-align:center; background: #efefef;"| Vowels |- style="vertical-align: center; font-size: x-small; height: 2em" | ||colspan=2| Front ||colspan=2| Near-front ||colspan=2| Central ||colspan=2| Near-back ||colspan=2| Back |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High || {{IPA|i}} || || || || {{IPA|ɨ}} || || || || || {{IPA|u}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-high || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| High-mid || || || || || || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Mid || || || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low-mid || || || {{IPA|ɛ}} || || || || || || || {{IPA|ɔ}} |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Near-low || || || |- |style="text-align: left; font-size: 95%;"| Low || || || || || {{IPA|a}} |} </div> ==Ortography== Iteresh is written with script called ''corew'', that is almost ortophonic script.

This can be part of a common stop lenition process, but may be independant, as in [[Arabic]] and [[Hungarian]]. The change commonly proceeds thru a bilabial intermediate [ɸ], so other outcomes are possible, eg. Celtic, where *sɸ → f, but *ɸ → h → ∅ otherwise. (See more at [[Voiceless bilabial stop|/p/]], [[fricative]].) Many other fricatives can also change to /f/: * θ → f (Oscan, [[Latin]] and most other Italic languages<ref>Note on Italic: in Latin, the word-internal voicing of fricatives [[Bleeding order|bleeds]] the change to /f/, leading to different reflexes, so /f/ only results initially.</ref>; some [[English]] dialects; some [[Oceanic]] branches) * x → f (Oscan — but not Latin, where *x → h) * xʷ → f (Oscan, Latin) * ʍ → f (some English dialects) * Devoicing: v → f. In many [[West Germanic]] varieties including Standard [[German]], the change of *w → ʋ ~ v has pushed older †/v/ to /f/. This can also be part of a more general devoicing process; see eg. [[wikipedia:final devoicing|final devoicing]]. Other: * w → f is found in Irish (when not intervocalic). Many different phonetic paths of development are possible here. * sp → f in Albanian <references/> ==See also== * [[Voiced labiodental fricative|/v/]] * [[Voiceless labiodental affricate|/pf/]] * [[Voiceless bilabial fricative|/ɸ/]] [[Category:Phonetic segments|f]] Nother/Kirumb alphabet 8630 59153 2011-02-03T01:22:35Z Muke 1 more updates to letter names and śádí from VTSF The '''Kirumb alphabet''' as used today has 27<sup>[''confirmation needed'']</sup> letters. It originally developed from Semitic scripts, and has borrowed several letters from Greek. It is written from left to right. It was used to write [[../Kirumb/]] and [[../Âdlantki/]], and is still used to write [[../Atlantic/]]. The descendants of Kirumb that developed in central Europe abandoned the native script, and their modern representatives now use the Latin alphabet instead. There are two forms of each letter, though the script is not written in mixed case; the newer forms<sup>[''name?'']</sup> are used to write ordinary text, while the older forms<sup>[''name?'']</sup> are used in restricted contexts<sup>[''which?'']</sup>. The inventory of signs has changed over time, and in the early period varied from author to author. The most usual Kirumb alphabet is given below, with the Kirumb names of the letters and their transliterations. {| style="text-align:center; margin:auto; padding: 0.5em; border: 1px solid #88a; background: #f7f8ff;" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5" |- !colspan=14| The Kirumb Alphabet |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | a || b || g || d || e || v || j || h || t |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | ''alpa'' || ''bít'' || ''gámal'' || ''dálat'' || ''e'' || ''vá'' || ''jaiŋ'' || ''hit'' || ''tit'' |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | i || k || l || m || n || s || o || f || ś |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | ''iód'' || ''káf'' || ''lámad'' || ''mím'' || ''nóŋ'' || ''simkat'' || ''o'' || ''fí'' || ''śádí'' |- style="background: #ddf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.3em;" | r || š || c || ŋ || u || p || x || ó || z |- style="background: #ccf; height: 1.8em; vertical-align: middle;" | ''rís'' || ''šíŋ'' || ''cá'' || ''aŋma'' || ''ú'' || ''pé'' || ''xé'' || ''ó'' || ''zéta'' |} Some non-standard letters of the Kirumb period: * The Greek eta ''Η'' (transliterated ''é''), used in Greek loanwords. This was normally spelled and pronounced with ''iód''. This later became a standard sign in Âdlantki, and is thus sometimes given as a usual sign in Kirumb, named ''éta'' and sorted between ''vá'' and ''jaiŋ''. * The Greek xi ''Ξ'' (transliterated ''ks''). * The Greek tau ''Τ'', used for /t/ by writers who preferred to use ''tit'' for the Greek theta (with which it was identical). In these cases, ''tit'' is to be transliterated ''th''. * The Greek psi ''Ψ'' (transliterated ''ps''). * The Greek digamma ''Ϝ'' (transliterated ''v''). * A ''jaiŋ''-''šiŋ'' ligature<sup>[''name?'']</sup> (transliterated ''ž'') which probably represented a dialectal /ʒ/. The letter ''śádí'' does not correspond to any phoneme in standard Kirumb. Dialects that used ''śádí'' consistently used it for the sound resulting from Proto-Indo-European ''*ḱ'', ''*s'' before ''*w'', and sometimes ''*s'' before ''*y''; the former two became ''s'' in standard Kirumb, and the latter ''š''. Outside of these dialects, ''śádí'' was understood and sometimes used as a random variant of ''simkat'' and ''šín''. In later times ''śádí'' came to represent the palatal /ç/ borrowed from [[../Drake/]], and ''tit''-''śádí'' is used to represent the [[Spanish]] ''ch''.

The word refers to the language in any of its stages. It is composed of the elements ''tore'' - ''people'' and ''hemnitu'' - ''language'', from the verb ''hemni'' - to understand. ==Early Torhemnitu== Also called archaic Torhemnitu. It is generally considered to be the language of the Burutore till the 1500 in the Fourth Age. The word order is VSO. The language is right-branching. ===Phonology=== Consonants : Stops: p b t d k g : Fricatives: s h : Liquids: r l m n : Semivowels: j w Vowels: a e i o u. Vowels had allophonic length - any vowels of a stressed, coda-less syllable was pronounced audibly longer. Also, doubled vowels like aa [a.a] were pronounced like single long vowels when both of them were unstressed. # Ringa [rin.ga] # Ohon [oː.hon] # Naa [na.a] # Luinaa [luj.naː] ===Grammar=== ====Nouns==== Plurals are marked by the particle ''oi'' after the noun. Genitive is expressed by marking the possessed with the particle ''ni''. No inflectional cases exist. ====Verbs==== No person inflections exist. The stem is identical in every person - ending in -''i''. Tense is marked by particles ''geu'' (distant past), ''hen'' (recent past), ''je'' (present), ''piu'' (future). ==Middle Torhemnitu== It was spoken from 1500 - 2100 4.A., when it gradually faded into Early Modern Torhemnitu. Middle Torhemnitu was characterized by breaking of vowel ''i'' to ''ji'' and then to ''je'' in originally stressed, but later in any syllable and the change of ''oi'' to ''we'', as well as vowel length becoming contrastive by vowel-nasal combinations became long vowels. Before changing to ''je'', ''i'' caused umlaut. ===Phonology=== Consonants :Stops: p b t d k g :Fricatives: s h :Liquids: l r m n :Semivowels: j w Vowels: a a: ɛ eː œ øː iː ʏ yː ɔ oː u uː. ====Changes==== * V/_N/Vː, as in ''ringa'' >> ''riiga''; * a/_i/ɛ, as in ''latti'' >> ''letje''; * aː/_i/eː, as in ''lani'' >> ''leenje''; * ɔ/_i/œ, as in ''horri'' >> ''höre''; * oː/_i/øː, as in ''jodi'' >> ''jöözje''; * u/_i/ʏ, as in ''lutni'' >> ''lytnje''; * uː/_i/yː, as in ''gusi'' >> ''gyysje''; * yː/_/ʏ, as in ''gyysje'' >> ''gysje''; * h/V_V/∅, as in ''ohon'' >> ''oon''; * i/_/je, as in ''coini'' >> ''cwenje''; * oi//we, as in ''oi'' >> ''we''; * dj//zj, as in ''handi'' >> ''heezje''; ===Grammar=== No significant grammar changes had occurred. ==Modern Torhemnitu== The name of the language in its form: ''Toaheeniede'' [tou.i:ɲɛ.də] ===Phonology=== Consonants: : Stops: p b pʲ bʲ t tʲ d k g kʲ gʲ : Fricatives: s sʲ zʲ ʃ h : Liquids: r rʲ l lʲ m n nʲ : Semivowels: w j Vowels: a ɛ eː œ iː ɨ ɔ o u uː ====Changes==== * ʏ//ɨ, as in ''gwanydjeu'' >> ''buanydiy'' [ba.nɨ.dʲɨ] * t/V_V/d, as in ''raate'' >> ''raede'' [rei.də] * p/V_V/b, as in ''meepu'' >> ''meebe'' [mi:.bə] * g/V_V/h, as in ''riiga'' >> ''rihe'' [rai.ə] * k/V_V/g, as in ''nocöötje'' >> ''negytie'' [nə.gɨ.tʲə] * a://ei, as in ''raate'' >> ''raede'' * o://ou, as in ''oon'' >> ''oen'' [oun](still perceived as [o:] by many) * ø://ɨ, as in ''jöözje'' >> ''iyzie'' [jɨ.zʲə] * i://ai, as in ''riiga'' >> ''rihe'' * e://i:, as in ''beeagjeu'' >> ''beeagiy'' [bi:.a.gjɨ] * V/_#/e, as in ''meepu'' >>''meebe'' * hʲ//ʃ,as in ''gyshjee'' >> ''gysiee'' [gɨsʲ.ʃiː] * cw//p, as in ''cwalinaa'' >> ''pualinae'' [pa.li.nei] * gw//b, as in ''gweenoo'' >> ''bueenoe'' [bi:.nou] Lilith's Conlang 8666 59122 2011-01-30T01:15:37Z Elemtilas 98 '''Lilith's Conlang''' consists of a short snippet of text, one short sentence only, and some descriptive if cryptic dialogue adapted for cinema from the novel ''Lilith'', written by J.R. Salamanca in 1961. The movie was made in 1964, though her text was not translated on screen. It goes without saying that there is no grammatical apparatus or lexical information available. '''From the movie script:''' You have the gift of tongues.<br> That's a great gift.<br> But it's nothing compared to you.<br> I've studied them. I know the grammar, but you've invented one of your own.<br> That's the greatest gift. - I didn't invent it.<br> - It was taught to me by my people.<br> You actually hear it, then?<br> I mean, you actually hear them speaking it?<br> Oh, I'd love to hear it. I'm fascinated by languages, you know.<br> Do you think they would speak it to me?<br> Perhaps you would teach me. - I wouldn't be allowed to teach you without approval.<br> - It's a language very few are permitted to speak. But what would I have to do?<br> I'm sure I could persuade them. - You would have to demonstrate great courage and a great capacity for joy. But I can. But I can. - You don't understand me. [Written on the wall of Lilith's room: "hiara pirlu resh kavawn"] It is never translated in the movie. In the novel, it is translated as "If you can read this, you will know I love you." '''From TIME Magazine, 2 October 1964:''' Lilith, in ancient Babylonian mythology, was a female embodiment of evil. In J. R. Salamanca's gaudy, gothic 1961 novel she was a wildly desirable schizophrenic whose corruptive beauty disrupted the routine of a private sanitarium. In Director Robert Rossen's movie version of the book, she is Jean Seberg, who enjoys an unholy liaison with a young therapist-in-training, lures an inmate toward destruction, steals away with a lesbian patient, and occasionally whispers improprieties into the ears of small boys. Director Rossen renders all this with just enough art-film panache to have won Lilith a place among far worthier movies in the recent New York Film Festival. Certainly, the techniques of modern moviemaking are much in evidence. Sound and images overlap. During long silent passages, the characters narrow their eyes at one another, conveying reams of censorable prose in each perfervid glance. The photography is often eerily beautiful—a subaqueous twilight world where everyone's torment finally condenses into eddying streams, stagnant pools and rushing rapids, an unsettling suggestion that the machinery of despair is water-driven. On the wall of her room, Lilith scrawls ''hiara pirlu resh kavawn'', a phrase from a secret language she has devised. It is never translated. By contrast, the lush spoken dialogue works little strain on the imagination. Lilith wants "to leave the mark of her desire on every living creature in the world." Warren Beatty, studiously guttural as the overzealous therapist who notes that his patient looks just like his mother, has difficulty explaining his dilemma to the chief psychiatrist. "Do you think she's trying to seduce you?" asks the doctor. "Um . . . you can't put it like that," mumbles Warren. The doctor puts it another way: "It isn't unknown for patients to seduce personnel, and vice versa." And he gamely adds, "I think all of us here are concerned with rapture in some way." That may be. But it does seem silly to deliver the same old Hollywood sexology in a fancy wrapper marked resh kavawn. ---- [[Category:Conlangs]] Runes 8667 59124 2011-01-30T03:03:21Z Elemtilas 98 '''Runes''' are a kind of alphabetic form of writing used by various Germanic speaking groups since as early as the mid second century AD. The letters are arranged in an order different from the letters of the Latin alphabet, and this arrangement is called a ''futhark'' after the first six runic characters. Runes are thought to have descended from one of the northern Italic alphabets some time before the second century, though even this origin is unsure. Several authors and conlangers have used existing futharks or have devised new ones for their works. Of note are J.R.R. Tolkien's ''Cirth'', a runic alphabet devised for the Dwarvish languages. Another are the Britannian runes used in the popular Ultima series of computer games. ---- Talk:Tilawa 8668 59223 2011-02-05T18:21:14Z Muke 1 Does anyone know where this language came from or who was responsible for posting the original .gif? :Clicking through shows it was added by [[User:Bicoherent|Bicoherent]] in 2004. —[[User:Muke|Muke Tever]] | [[User Talk:Muke|✎]] 10:21, 5 February 2011 (PST) File:Naua pa.png 8669 59156 2011-02-03T13:34:06Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua a.png 8670 59158 2011-02-03T13:45:05Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua la.png 8671 59159 2011-02-03T13:45:28Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua ya.png 8672 59160 2011-02-03T13:45:45Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua ua.png 8673 59161 2011-02-03T13:46:13Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua tla.png 8674 59162 2011-02-03T13:46:31Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua tsa.png 8675 59163 2011-02-03T13:46:52Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua ha.png 8676 59164 2011-02-03T13:47:09Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua sa2.png 8677 59165 2011-02-03T13:47:32Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua nya.png 8678 59166 2011-02-03T13:48:03Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua ma.png 8679 59167 2011-02-03T13:48:27Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua ka.png 8680 59168 2011-02-03T13:48:54Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua ta.png 8681 59169 2011-02-03T13:49:11Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua na.png 8682 59170 2011-02-03T13:52:12Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua kua.png 8683 59195 2011-02-04T15:55:21Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]] File:Naua kala tsasu.png 8684 59219 2011-02-05T15:56:07Z Qang 1187 [[Category:Moya]] [[Category:Moya]]
