I will try to make this without any help from any language.
In other words, I will try to make as few words sound like words from other languages

The Vowels:
A [father]
E [met]
I [me]
O [low]
U [do]
Y [bit]

There are a variety of accents, or diacritics.

The Macron, or Bar Above makes the vowel doubled WITH A GUTTORAL STOP!
The Grave is like adding the English 'y' to the beginning of it.
Ex- 'yah', 'yeh' 'yi', etc.

The Umlauts of Diaeresis is used to make the vowel nasal.
You RARELY see it. So rarely, I think I might remove it.


The Consonants:
B [book]
Ç [chat]
D [dog]
F [feather]
G [go]
H [hello]
J [jester]
K [camp]
Ķ [hard Russian 'KH' or German 'CH' sound]
L [let]
M [met]
N [not]
Ŋ [sing]
P [pick]
R [reed]
S [see]
Ş [short]
T [tight]
ß [thorough]
V [very]
W [what]
Z [zoo]
Ġ [measure]

Ai= eye
Oi- boy
Eo= eh+oh

Here is the script:
User Image
There are no capitals.
Numbers are Roman Numerals.
All are the same height, except with a modifier.
Y+ VOWEL looks like a grave accent.
It goes over the vowel that has the y sound in front of it.
The Doubler looks like a macron.
The consonant editor looks like an acute accent (this is used over a consonant to form the consonant in the parenthesis, get it?)

With these accents, the letter is half size.
The 'OE' is supposed to be 'OR'.
Typoooooo.

Here is how to do verbs:

The infinitives end in 'ait'.
To conjugate, remove the infinitive.
Each person and number will have an ending. Add this.
For all tenses other than present, a suffix will be added.
The pronoun is not needed.
The subject of a sentence can be dropped, ONLY IF IT IS VERY CLEAR!

Taß--- 'ù'
Svat--'as'
Noi---'es'
Nai---'i'
Sos---'ai'

Mi---- 'e'
Vata-'en'
Go---'iķ'

Here are the suffixes-
A 'w' is added to the end of the suffix if the verb begins in a vowel.

Past- 've'
Future- 'hu'
Past Progressive- 'na'
Present Progressive-'ŋoi'
Future Progressive-'çoķ'

To be is the only irregular verb.

Nait- to be

Taß èst
Svat ar
Noi er
Nai eir
Sos- ys

Mi ent
Vata homgi
Go harada

Of course, the pronoun can be dropped.

The sentence structure is strictly SIODOV(2)V(1)

No exceptions, except with questions.
In questions, it is IODIOV(2)SV(1)

There you go.
Time or location phrases go after what it describes.

IE-
'I want to send him letters at 3:00' would be

I (to)him letters (to)send 3:00 want.
'[Taß] znoi magaki gelait 3:00 (mahi kloka) çosù.'
Taß of course is optional.

The question "Do I want to send him letters at 3:00?' is-
"Znoi magaki gelait 3:00 [taß] çosù?'
(To)Him letters (to)send 3:00 I want?

This is my only conlang that originates from a planet other than Earth.
Pijaō'wa is close to Neptune, but is roughly the size of Earth.

There is a constitutional monarchy.
The government is backwards.
Each of the 5 separate Provinces are broken up into Counties.
Each county votes, and a President for each County is chosen.
The monarch then chooses one President for each Province.
He or she becomes a Senator.

All of the Senators as well as the monarch have regular meetings in the High Capital {Capital of the whole planet), the current High Capital is Magan. {Monarchs tend to change the High Capital}

As of now there is an organization know as Mij Aşàhol.
They are trying to kill the current monarch, Queen Maàsni Ortibenki, and replace her with their leader.
The only name know for the Leader is Dämil, which means 'Truth Bearer".

The entire planet is currently in civil war.
The war has been going on for 16 years.
No one knows why the war started exactly, and the reason people keep fighting changes depending on who you ask.

Queen Maàsni Ortibenki has currently gone into hiding somewhere in an underground chamber somewhere under Iluminendara.

Here are the capitals of the Provinces (black dots)-

Diji-Naga:: Piva
Manā:: Kukur-Jiķam
Tuvilius:: Identniŋ
Şaşokni:: Glavis
Iluminendara:: Maji-Pavasi-Gdopi

The High Capital (white dot) is Magan, currently in Diji-Naga.




The Pijaoans believe in 2 Gods and 2 Goddesses.
Malik- God- Created the planet and all land.
Simal- Goddess- Malik's wife. Created all life.

Uvida- God- created the laws that govern physics, and morality.
Pavaķ- Goddess- Uvida's wife. Destroys all things, and takes the souls of all living things to the Afterlife.

Prayer is made everyday in the morning.

A capital "Y" designates the English 'y' sound. It is added to the letter after it.
