Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, the story with this language is that it is supposed to be unpronouncible by anyone other than a dragon. It is only in written form because while the lizardmen were able to transcribe the dragon's sounds, they are unable to reproduce them. So true dragon cannot be spoken. However, these lizardmen replaced the sounds they could not make with ones that they could and a spoken form of the dragon's cry was built!

Anyways, I'm really just posting this so my computer doesn't eat my files again! gonk I'm tired of losing dictionaries...

In any case, if you want to learn or contribute, please do! Just because this is nothing but my sloppy notes right now doesn't mean that nothing can be learnt from them. =)

So in other words, posting is welcome. ^_^

(I'm just adding things as I come up with them, so it isn't very organized. Sorry about that. sweatdrop )

Morphology

PREFIXES

nà+ - more than one of what comes next, indicates plurality, i.e. nà~§aun meaning "dragons" while ~§aun means simply "dragon"

SUFFIXES

+r - a spiritual aspect of a given word, relating to living beings, i.e. vur meaning "soul" while vu means "fire"

+mi - a diminutive, a smaller version of a word or concept, i.e. kurènwe§icommi meaning "lake", while kurènwe§icom means "sea"

INFIXES

_u_ - a smaller portion of a larger concept, i.e. kurèn meaning "a portion of earth" ("land") while krèn means "earth" (THIS INFIX MUST BE INSERTED INTO THE FIRST CONSONANT CLUSTER OF A WORD)

_we_ - creates a genitive form, i.e. krènwe§a~ meaning "earth's star"/"star of the earth", or "sun" (krèn is "earth" and §a~ is "star") (THIS INFIX MUST BE BETWEEN TWO ALREADY COMPLETE WORDS)

_nà­_ - when an infix, it is a connective form, like adding "and"; it combines two concepts, i.e. ße¿ènà§icomwecwè meaning "dry-and-wet's boundary" ("coastline"), where ße¿è means "dry" and §icom means "wet" (cwè means "boundary") NOTE: The most important concept comes first, so in this case "dry" comes first, meaning that the dry section is larger or more important than the wet section. From this, it can be inferred that it is a coastline of a continent, not of an island. For an island, the word would be the opposite: §icomnàße¿èwecwè because there is more water than land in the case of an island; the line would be drawn from the water's perspective, not the land's. (THIS INFIX MUST BE BETWEEN TWO ALREADY COMPLETE WORDS)

Grammar

WORD ORDER

There is no strict word order except for the tendency for the verb to come first in the sentence. Ultimately, parts of speech are determined by pre- and postpositions. They are as follows:

Verb: jù§ - preposition indicating the next word is a verb
ci – postposition indicating the verb is attached to the subject

Subject: màß – postposition indicating the previous word is the subject

Direct Object: ro – postposition indicating the previous word is the direct object

Indirect Object: rò – postposition indicating the previous word is the indirect object

Example: jù§ erim ci krènwecò màß vur ro ò~ rò. – “The moon gives a soul to the water.”

Please note the lack of definite and indefinite articles. They do not appear in this language.

PLURALITY

The prefix nà roughly means ‘many’ and is added to the beginning of plural nouns.

nà~§aun: dragons

POSSESSION

Place we after the possessor and before the possessed. An example is the language’s name:

~§aunwenaß: dragon’s cry

There is no space between we and the two words.

Plural Possessives:

For plural possessive, such as ‘dragon’s offspring’s soul’, just use more than one we.

~§aunwecòwevur: dragon’s offspring’s soul

(In the case where the we comes before a vowel, the pronunciation is separate, each vowel being pronounced fully and individually.)

Okays, ya'll can post if you like. =)

Will it be a language you develop a little dictionary for then people will start to ad to the vocab themselves?

A tiny update, added a morphology section and some words for the dictionary.
