Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's gonna be kinda based off of Latin, weighted mostly on French, with possibly a bit of other Latin-based languages later. If I get it right sweatdrop

Posting it here should help me get around to working on it more.
The name is pronounced "Aye-lor'-ish"
aye as in english "eye" or "I"
Lor like in lore, tore, boar, etc.

I hope you don't need help with ish

The name is still not stuck in place, but I like it.

ALSO, THE NEWEST THINGS, THE THINGS THAT WERE ADDED THE MOST RECENTLY, WILL BE IN THIS COLOR!

LOOK DOWN TO A FEW POSTS FROM THE END, THERE'S A BASIC HISTORY.
Here's the basic alphabet with letter combinations as separate letters. Some writings do not include these. It reads, "Parla Ælorish esticol parla bonmanti" or "To speak Ælorish is to speak well" at the bottom

Well, here's some basic sentence structure.

It's SVO, unless in question form. Then it's V-S O Like, "Te amel mi" would become "Amel-te mi?" "You love me" becomes "do you love me?"

Note that Ji, the first-person singular article (I, me etc) became mi. It's like how "je" becomes "moi" in French 3nodding

Te stays the same. Ilo and Elo become Iloi and Eloi, Ilos and Elos become Ilois and Elois. Nio and Vio become Noi and Voi.

Ji amal te (I love you)
Ji amal iloi (I love him)
Ji amal eloi (I love her)
Ji amal noi (I love us)
Ji amal voi (I love you [plural/formal])
Ji amal ilois (I love them/those guys)
Ji amal elois (I love them/those girls)
Te amel mi (You love me)
Nio amaros iloi (we love him)

And so on. Those are more or less how that works.

There are also verbs that are reflexive, they have Soi in front of the infinitive, and the forms will be explained in more detail eventually, I promise.

Yes, it's a little irregular, but real languages aren't regular 3nodding

Verbs.

I'll give what I have.

Please note that any verbs starting with a vowel would become J'___ like in French. That's only for the first-person. T'abdicel wouldn't work, although it's possible that one I get into dialects, it might


Different colors mean different ways of congugating the verbs. Orange and Red are the two main types, verbs in blue are irregular, and verbs in Green are reflexive or reflective. My brain's still asleep. xp The needed additives for those can be found below, in the parentheses (HERE)

I congugated the first bunch out, so you could get a good idea of what they're like. I think from now on, I'm going to just do the infinitive and color. Of course, I'll conjugate them myself on my computer so I can tell if they're going to work ok.

Also, unlike in French, you pronounce the last sounds 3nodding

((Note that even though the Aelorish did not have phones, the people who are reviving the language decided that being able to talk about modern technology was as important as being able to talk about this year's crop))

adjectives

Goos- (Pronounced Goss, word taken from my friend.) the most awesome thing ever! Better than anything, etc etc etc.
Boni-good
Malara-Bad
Cea-this
Tu-all
Tutens-always
Pitaete-small
Groahi-Big
Raena-none (nothing)
Tunor-every (everything)
Londi-slow

Façi-easy

Ruz-Red
Oranj-orange
Jon-yellow
Varri-green
blet-blue
Vilaeya-violet/purple

When making adjectives agree with plural nouns, add "sae" at the end. Otherwise, don't worry about agreement

To make something the "most ____" add "plu-" before the word.
So, the "most late godesses" or "latest goddesses" would be "La dielae plu-taraz-sae"

Articles
There are four definite articles, the masculine and the feminine, along with plural forms of both. It tells you whether to use the masculine or feminine adjectives and such. The female article is “La” which becomes “Laz” when plural. Masculine, which is “Lu” becomes “Luz" All these mean "the."

OTHER ARTICLES ARE:
-una (f) and uni (m) which means "one"
-kaliku (m) and kalika (f) means "some"

Numbers

Nu-Zero
Una(f), Uni(m)-one
Dur-Two
Trile-Three
Karte-Four
Sine-Five
Sise-Six
Sepe-seven
Octe-eight
Næf-nine
Dis-ten
Disu-11
Disdu-12

Dusen-200
Kartsen sisan distri-473
Milo-1,000
Milin-1,000,000
Bilin-1,000,000,000

(f) means feminine, (m) means masculine
If you add "-noma" to the end, it becomes an adjective.
Like "La anevers sisan disis-noma" means, "The 76th anniversary" or "The 76th birthday" And this always goes after the noun it modifies.

Rules about verbs:
If you want to say "I am hungry" or full, thirsty, not-thirsty, hot, or cold, you use Avola, not estica. If you say, "I am full," for example, instead of, "I have fullness" you are actually saying you're pregnant blaugh

The last post is for...(Drum roll please)
Conculture!
The Aelorish people (called themselves Aelors) started up around the time of Julius Caesar. They were previously a diverse group of settlers that fled to Rome for protection. Over the years, they developed their own language, nestled in the Po River valley, in a small city named Maraelos, meaning in ancient Aelorish "My island." For these people were seperated from most of Rome for quite some time, not meeting anyone for almost 200 years. By this time, they had developed a language based off of Latin, and since they were close to Gaul, developed similar to French, although they came before the official French Language of today.

Around 200 AD, a small group of Roman soldiers discovered Maraelos, and were very curious about the people. After all, these people had almost completely forgotten about Latin, and had a slightly different alphabet. The Aelorish people didn't like this, and they fled the city. They made crude boats and set sail out into the Mediterranean Sea. They were never seen again. Some say they sunk in a storm, while others believe they came upon an island, but died. The only reason we know that they exist is the old scripts and the diaries of the Roman soldiers that found the city. Nobody is quite sure where the ancient city was, or if there were more cities, so excavation hasn't happened.

Recently, a few scholars decided to try and bring the language back to life. There are a few hundred bilingual native speakers, most also speaking Spanish, French, Italian, or English.

As for many other aspects of their lives, it is obvious that they believed in polytheism, and had developed a religion slightly similar to today's neopagan religions. They did things that were somewhat different from mainstream Roman religion. For example, when predicting the future, they didn't cut open an animal. Instead, they stared at the sky and watched the clouds, along with such things as strength patterns in rain, animal tracks on the river bank, and fallen leaves in the forests. Maraelos was a city headed to their goddess, Almaea.

((All this came out of my mind, and I'm only telling you this little fact since some of these events took place in real times in real places.))
