so this language I have been working on since midnight last night (a half hour before I went to bed) and since I just woke up and realized what I had created I decided to post it here^_^ whee go me!
this language I wanted to sound flowing and beautiful yet simple to learn at the same time. this was the easy task. so I picked the most beautiful languages I know! Chinese (mando and canto) Japanese, Swahili, Tibetan, and Thai! and this is what I got for doing that lol
the language according to the alphabet. here are the sounds used in this language.
K B C T R D
N M P L W G
A E EI O I U
CH SH TH/THH ZH V
they are all supposed to sound the exact way they are written, like in Swahili, so he would be heh and komiliigassinem would mean koh mi li igas si nem, which does not have a translation it is simply a example. (si like Spanish si, I always sounds makes the same sound) ei=e'I strong emphasis on the I at the end (I as in KIt)
unusual sounds
C=TS RD combination is rarely used yet it is in the language.
Are you alright? Keo ki ethala ne?
Yes Rda
You must go. ki nai she.
I will not be apart from you! Ke weio banei that ki o!
You must! Please, they will take you. Ki nai o! shui, kim weio zha ki.
I can’t leave you! Ke BaThar ki o!
Why? Che ne?
I love you…Always. Ke mai ki…Azhate.
I love you too, but you must go! Ke mai ki oi, kana ki nai she o!
But I need you! Kana ke va ki o!
My love, I will follow, go. Ca ki mai, ki weio vonar, she.
They will kill you for helping me! Kim weio ki bak no dwapte ke o!
I can fight… Ke iware…
No…come with me! Den…lei ke rode o!
Alright. Ethala.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I speak with you? Ke vem ki rode ne?
Yes. Rda.
How long have we been together? Nara gun kechi nei tharu ne?
Five years. Zhak rau.
I must ask you something. Ke nai veim ki cei.
What is it? Cheir ne?
I want you to marry me. What do you say? Ke waru ki abile ke. Cheir ki vem ne?
Yes! Rda!
Thank you! I love you! Aruda ki o! ke mai ki o!
I love you too. Ke mai ki oi.
Grammar. the grammar is rather simple considering that word order is never of major importance to these people. their language is designed for them as more of a code then of a language. it was invented after the fall of their third empire in between the war with the invading Magaseleir (which were the savage people from the outer lying islands to the south east and east central area) this code was a way where they could communicated with out the Magaseleir knowing what they were saying (since their original language was one that all people at this time knew) and eventually this Code turned into a language. though by examining specific key elements of most of the material the order of words normally follows the same pattern as if it was your average European language from Earth, though it breaks rules of that sometimes depending on if it makes it more flowing or not.
the people of this language have survived a total of five dynasties being attacked repetitively by the surrounding islands. of course being the biggest of thirty and located right in the center that would tend to happen. the wars were not very long yet they were very tragic. many died yet the people of this island always were able to keep control over it. after a few centuries they finally established a writing system which is still in use today, it is written from right to left from top of page down using a very interesting script with consonants as carriers for the vowels at all times, if there is no consonant than the vowel is placed on what is known as a support carrier (also sometimes used to show emphasis on the vowel) the language itself was finally considered a language instead of a code, and since the whole island spoke it, this language was then established as the native language of that island.
^_^
^_^ I make a vocabulary list and grammar guide in a bit.

Kalathma Ke nai veim ki cei... What do those words mean in your language? =o Oh, and what's the word order? it means, 'I must tell you something' or literally 'I must/have to tell you a thing' the word order is non-existent, it is basically whatever is more poetic and flowing (in other words if it rolls of the tongue better thats how it goes)
