I love this. and really don't know what else I can say o.o... it just flows so naturally and beautifully, even with basic words! the script is just... oh so amazing! This honestly feels as though it could be an actual language!


Well that's excellent as it's supposed to be a gateway into an entire culture. mrgreen

I'm glad I got something good my first time, since this is has taken quite a bit of work. I must admit though, despite spending all my time making up vocab, I'm still considerably less than 500 words. And they're not even the ones I will probably need.

Maybe I should start translation dialogues...
That's usually where I start. the best is probably making phrases that a person uses everyday. I have a Ton of Lonely Planet Phrase books, and I usually use those as material for my own translations


Hm... I don't think I could deal with just doing phrase book-style things. (I kind get bored easily when just finding stuff to translate.)

I mean, I will need stuff like from phrase books, but... I don't know, maybe I'll make a story out of it or something. To keep me occupied. A Vignette, maybe.

I am unsure of what that is... but I know what you mean lol, I have these books that are a collection of the years best Science Fiction, and I LOVE translating those lol, they are short stories so usually around twenty pages to fifty so easy stuff to translate. So short stories might be a good place to start? simple and to the point? plus it isn't too murderous if you are using a script to write out another version, I done that and trust me, a simple script always proves worthy in such a situation lol


A Vignette is a short mood piece of fiction, even shorter than most short stories. So, yeah, that was the idea.

I was actually going to pick a few in-world characters and write little stories about them, so it's both creative and fun and a character/language building exercise. 3nodding
Oh! Great idea lol, sounds like a plan! I would love to see some of the translations you make of those! I love this one!

Okay, I added a section on subordinate clauses, although the full version will have to wait until I get all the details worked out.

Also, I've begun to write a Folk Tale, Here are the opening lines: (Note, "it was at first" is the traditional way to open stories, kind of like "once upon a time" in English.)



NiKembZa DhaRaeZhe: The tale of tChaNae
(Of seals and without family)


Nya Gis Zhus eb VuVyaroid NiZheGa: Tu eb VeDiNedoid ZhusNe NuVe NaNeGoi DuRak Zak Melel yas:

It was at first that a caravan of the sea lived. Here, a loved baby was seeing with eyes for the first time.




That's all I got for now. I'll make sure to update this post as I write more. I'll add this to the first page when I finish.
