It is spiffy and it is based quite heavily off of Italian with a fair bit of Slavic vocabulary (and, to some extent, grammar) thrown in. ;D
It's my easy language. The other ones are more difficult to work on.

Li Alfabeto:

B - bet.
C - before E or I, "cheese." Before A, O, or U, "calm." Before an apostrophe, "cats."
Ç - shoe.
D - deal.
E - cafe, yet, met.
F - food.
G - before I or E, "jeans. Before A, O, or U or at the end of a word,, "got." Before an apostrophe, "beds."
H - happy.
I - machine.
J - azure.
K - caulk (only really comes at the end of a word, and when it comes in the middle in "foreign" words, you can deal with it)
L - let.

Q - aqua.
R - (a rolled R)
S - lesson.
T - teal.
U - moon.
V - very.
X - (many pronunciations)
Y - yard.
Z - zeal.
Some of these letters are quite rare (like X), so don't worry about them, I'll mark the pronunciation as they come. mad D
The syllable stress tends to vary, but a lot of words have accent marks on them. The general rule is to stress the penult.

Definite Articles:
Masculine singular: il
Feminine singular: la
Masculine plural: los
Feminine plural: las
Neuter plural: les
Indefinite articles:
Masculine singular: im
Feminine singular: iná
Masculine plural: imos
Feminine plural: inse
Neuter plural: imis
I think these pretty much speak for themselves. The neuter plural is used when there are objects (or people) both feminine and masculine. mad D
They follow the French usage rules, basically; in pretty much all cases, at least one of the articles is used.
Like French again, they are contracted when used with prepositions:
With the prepositions ha (the French à) and di (the French de), they become like this:
Ha:
Definite Articles:
Masculine singular: ir
Feminine singular: ar
Masculine plural: hel
Feminine plural: aris
Neuter plural: eir
Indefinite articles:
Masculine singular: hi
Feminine singular: hiná
Masculine plural: hau
Feminine plural: heia
Neuter plural: hir
Di:
Definite Articles:
Masculine singular: dil
Feminine singular: da
Masculine plural: den
Feminine plural: daian
Neuter plural: dei
Indefinite articles:
Masculine singular: dim
Feminine singular: de
Masculine plural: dos
Feminine plural: dis
Neuter plural: dir
OKAY. Now you know the articles, so I need to tell you how to tell what gender a noun is!
Masculine nouns end in either a consonant, the letter O, or the letter E.
Feminine nouns end in the letter A or the letter E.
One can tell an E-noun by the letter before the E; if there's another vowel, the letter L, the letter R, the letter V, the letter F, the letter D or the letter T, it's feminine. All others are masculine.
Naturally, there are some exceptions to this. I will note them as they show up.
