Hello! Welcome to my little section! Yay! Such fun! *ahem* My personal conlang, Niora, is a language spoken by the enlightened elves of The Republic of Nio. They love to sing, and their language reflects that. So, here we are: ALPHABET Aa (ah) Bb (bah) Cc (chah) * "c" always appears with "h" Dd (dah) Ee (eh) Ff (fah) Gg (gah) Hh (ha) Ii (ee) Jj (jah) Kk (kah) Ll (lah) Mm (mah) Nn (nah) Oo (oh) Pp (pah) Rr (ora) * slightly trilled, inbetween an "l" and a "d", as in Japanese Ss (sah) Tt (tah) Uu (oo) Yy (yah) PRONUNCIATION A - pronounced like the "a" in "ah" B - pronounced like the "b" in "boy" D - pronounced like the "d" in "dog" E - pronounced like the "é" in "café" F - pronounced like the "f" in "fog" G - pronounced like the "g" in "go" H - pronounced like the "h" in "home" I - pronounced like the "ee" in "sweet" J - pronounced like the "j" in "job", or like the "j" in the French "je" K - pronounced like the "c" in "corn" L - pronounced like the "l" in "life" M - pronounced like the "m" in "month" N - pronounced like the "n" in "note" O - pronounced like the "o" in "oh" P - pronounced like the "p" in "pop" R - pronounced like the Japanese "r", slightly trilled. Its in between an "l" and a "d" for English speakers, and roll like you would in Spanish, just only do it once instead of continuing. S - pronounced like the "s" in "snake" (Note: This is always very crisp and is similar to the French "ç") T - pronounced like the "t" in "top" U - pronounced like the "oo" in "goop" Y - pronounced like the "y" in "yelp" Ch - pronounced like the "ch" in "chomp" Sh - pronounced like the "sh" in "show" Th - pronounced like the English "z", or as the English "t", or as a hard English "th" as in "they", but NEVER as a soft "th" as in "think" Phf - pronounced like the "pf" in the German word "Pfennig". For English speakers, this is always pronounced as "p" + "f". Half-way pronounce a "p" as in "penny" then shift your teeth up and fully pronounce an "f" as in "fun". The sounds should somewhat blend. If ever you see a consonant followed by "h" other than the above, skip over the "h" and just pronounce the rest of the word. STRESS Niora stress has two rules. 1) If the word has one or two syllables, then stress the first syllable. Example: "moi" (with, of) = "MO-i" 2) If the word has three or more syllables, then stress the second syllable. Example: "Niora" (language of Nio) = "ni-O-ra" Here is the font for Niora, credit goes to Xeigrich! Thanks a bunch! ^_^ Download Niora Font!Also, if you are using an "h-combo" besides "sh" (which is typed "x") then simply drop the "h" for it to be displayed properly. If you have a lone vowel, or a diphthong that you are typing, use a capital for the lone or second vowel. (Example: akeshi = Akexi, or "niora" = "niOra") There are no capital letters in Niora, unless it's romanized, so this is fine. ^_^ (To write a syllable, just type the consonant before the vowel, just like English. 3nodding ) Okay, that's it for now! Neshu! (Goodbye!)

Yolaka! I'm back yet again! (Wow, two in one night, I'm on a roll rofl )
Anywho, you can't do anything without verbs and pronouns, so here we go!
WORD ORDER
The word order is VSDOIO
Okay, hold up, let me explain. Verb, Subject, Direct Object, Indirect Object.
So basically, in English it looks somthing like this:
Example: "I gave him a piece of my pie." (Wow, that's random! whee )
Niora WO: "gave I a piece of my pie him."
It may seem weird, especially for English speakers, since sometimes it seems like a question (We switch the verb to first position to form questions), but you'll get the hang of it. ^^
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
I = la
We = korola
You = noki
You all = chae
He = mi
She = na
It = chi
They = chieta
VERB ENDINGS
Infinitive = -(k)eshi
la = -(e)
korola = -(e)shi
noki = -(e)
chae = -(e)shi
mi/na/chi = -(e)ke
chieta = -(e)ku
Polite form = -(e)ki*
*In Nio culture, using the polite form of the verb is considered the highest honor, symbolizing the utmost respect, and also indicate very close friendship, so don't feel as if you must use it with teachers or adults simply because you 'should' respect them. That generally isn't when it's used.
Also, please note that you'd use this form regardless of the pronoun, so you don't have to be talking about them, just to them in order to properly use this form. ^^
AN EXPLAINATION OF THE ABOVE ENDINGS
The infinitive of any given verb means "to verb", "to be verbing", and "to do verb" Note: All verbs in the infinitive end in either "keshi" or "eshi", and this effect how they conjugate. (Also, to make your life a little easier, all verbs are regular. Wasn't that nice of me? wink )
Example #1:
"to be" = "sateshi" (an "eshi" verb)
la = sate
korola = sateshi
noki = sate
chae = sateshi
mi/na/chi = sateke
chieta = sateku
polite form = sateki
Example #2:
"to hunger" = "nikeshi" (a keshi verb)
la = ni
korola = nishi
noki = ni
chae = nishi
mi/na/chi = nike
chieta = niku
polite form = niki
USEFUL VOCABULARY
Hello = Yolaka
Hi = Yoka
Goodbye = Neshu
Bye = Shulu
also/and = aku
or = aya
but/however = ko
yes/true = kisai
no/false = ukiso
maybe = sosa
excuse me = anokike la
sorry = tomee
please = sekii
thank you = seku
your welcome (literally, "no problem") = "ukiso du"
good health (said when someone sneezed or coughs) = "miko gesido"
That's it for now!
Neshu, lasi milo chulokosa!
(Goodbye, my students!)

Yoka! I'm back! Yay! And here's the next installment:
SENTENCE PARTICLES
Particles are words that are inputed into a sentence strictly for grammar usage. English doesn't really have any, but I know for a fact that Japanese and Chinese do.
Anyway, in Niora, particles are used for many differant reasons. Here's the first group of them:
You know how sentence order can never be changed in Niora? (Order indicates case, and yes, there are no case changes. Wasn't that nice of me? wink I find them to be a tax on memory, especially in German when you have four genders and whatnot.) Well, in English, in order to make something a question, we have to switch around our subject and verb, since that's impossible in Niora, we add a particle.
PARTICLES THAT INDICATE SENTENCE TYPE
These particles come directly before the sentence, somewhat like the French "Est-ce que".
To indicate a question, add "Niya"
To indicate a command, add "Feshiko"
Simple statements have no particle.
Example:
Statement = "I have a dog." = "Tsui la osi uka."
Question = "Do you have a dog?" = "Niya tsui noki osi uka?"
Command = "Feed the dog some food!" = "Feshiko kiloke ipe uka milo osi shai!"
COMPLEX QUESTIONS
In order to form a question which cannot be answered by a simple "kisai" or "ukiso", remove "Niya" and replace it with one of the below "question words":
Who = Ona
What = Oro (Yes, I did steal this from Kenshin, in case you're wondering whee )
When = Oki
Where = Ote
Why = Oma
How = Oshi
Example: "What are you doing?" = "Oro suiga noki?"
Niya ji noki?
(Do you understand?)
That's it for now! (I'll get a word list up next, ok? 3nodding )
Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa!

Yolaka! I'm back yet again! Whee! whee
*ahem*
So, I'm sure some of this section has already been covered, since I greet you all every post. (And quite cheerfully, might I add... rofl )
Anywho, the next section's on greetings! Woot! Such fun! Here we go:
GREETINGS IN NIORA
Hello! = Yolaka!
Hi! = Yoka! (or "Yola". I've discovered that this has been created by a certain friend I've been teaching, but meh, I'll make it acceptable anyway, since it evolved on its own. ^^)
Goodbye = Neshu
Bye = Shulu
*PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking for how to say "Good morning." or "Good night." Then sorry, there are no translations for these. Yolaka and Neshu can be used interchangeably for "Good morning" and "Good night")
NAME CALLING
Not really. This title is actually to help you remember that the verb for "to be called" is used when giving one's name, which is "anikeshi"
Example:
Hi! What's your name? (Literally: What are you called?) = Yoka! Oro ani noki?
Me? I'm Kitsune. (Literally: I am called Kitsune.) And you? = La? Ani la Kitsune. Eta noki?
Oh, my name's Elena. It's a pleasure. (Literally: Oh, I'm called Elena. It's good.) = O, ani la Elena. Sateke chi miko.
Indeed, Miss Elena. = Thlu, Elena-shoti.
Please, it's just Elena. = Sekii, Sateke chi 'Elena-siki'.
Okay then, Elena. = Okee danoo, Elena-siki.
Wow, I'll bet you're all wondering what the heck is up with the names, right? Well, it's your lucky day. Here's an explaination:
NAME ENDINGS
As in Japanese, the endings of names indicate formality (or politeness). Above, when Kitsune called Elena "Elena-shoti" , translated as "Miss Elena", she was being overly polite because they had just met. (This is, after all, the most formal name ending.) Elena corrected her and told her that "just Elena", or "Elena-siki" would be fine. On top of this, there is one other ending used between very close friends, which is "-kuna". (Even though this is between friends, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is inpolite, however if you use it with someone you don't know all that well, they might give you a wierd look... whee )
Ok, that's about it for today. PS: I'm sorry about the non-existant word list, but I have to go find a decent one to translate. Here's some new vocab, though:
NEW VOCAB
How are you? = Oshi sate noki?
I'm... = Sate la...
fine = minai
good/well = miko
bad/sick = sanike
tired = mude
busy = rodido
angry/mad = kesei
upset/sad = file
happy/bouncy = firo
Well, that's good for now!
Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa!

Yoka buti! (Hello agian!) Sateke chi time furu more Niora! (It's time for more Niora!) Ya! (Yay!)
POSSESION
In order to make a noun possesive, or give it something to own, add "si" to the end of the word that's doing the possesing (or the subject), and then "sa" to the thing being possesed (object).
Example:
his dog = hesi dogsa or "misi ukasa"
her ferret = nasi mutesa
That's it! (Wow, that was short. Oh, well. I'll do more next time, I promise!)
Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa!

Yup! And here's more of what motivation can do! blaugh whee
VERB TENSES
So, You all know that "Sate la" is "I am" by now. (I hope... xd ) But what about "I will be", or "I was" ?
Well, here's your answer:
(FYI: All sentences are initailly in present tense, and there are only three tenses. Ain't I nice? cool )
PAST TENSE
In order to form the past tense in Niora, simply add the particle "saha" after the verb, or inbetween the verb and subject.
Example:
"I am" = "Sate la"
"I was" = "Sate saha la"
The same occurs when you have more complex sentences, such as:
"I couldn't hear you." = "Inikua saha la fuaakeshi noki."
"I didn't hear you." = "Inifuaa saha la noki."
FUTURE TENSE
The future tense is formed in essentially the same manner, however, "moshe" is used instead of "saha".
Example:
"I am" = "Sate la"
"I will be" = "Sate moshe la"
"I won't be able to hear you." = "Inikua moshe la fuaakeshi noki"
"I won't hear you." = "Inifuaa moshe la noki."
ALSO NOTE: NEGATION OF VERBS
I realized that this had not been placed in the verb section, so here it is.
In order to negate a verb in Niora, simply conjegate (sp?) it, then attatch "ini" to the beginning.
Example:
"I am" = "Sate la"
"I am not" = "Inisate la"
The only thing to remember here is that this isn't a particle, it's a prefix.
"Ya! Jile noki!"
"Yay! You're learning!"
Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa! ^^

Yeah, I enjoy my vocabulary in Niora. (Sometimes I hyphenate things to change the stress, just to make it sound cool... XD)
It's pronounced "PU-fu PU-fu" because of the hyphen. If you see others, prounounce the different parts of the hyphenated word with seprate stress.
ARTICLES
Guess what! I'm so nice, that nouns don't have gender! Yay! Easy stuff! *ahem*
Since nouns do not have gender, only two articles are needed, one definite and one indefinite, respectively "the" and "a" in English. So, here we are:
the = ipe
a = osi
Please note that "osi" is often omitted from speech.
Example: "Tsui la banana." = "I have a banana."
You'll notice that "osi" is nowhere to be found, but a Niora speaker will still fully understand you if you omit it. "Ipe", however, must always be in the sentence.
Other Vocab
"this" = "ipo"
"that" = "ipa"
"these" = "ipo milo"
"those" = "ipa milo"
"That's it for now!"
"Sateke ipa chi furu homa!"
Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa!
whee
