Ha. Another. I know. I promised.

This one is based alot on French {mostly in spelling} and German, alot of English, and Polish/ Russian.

Alphabet-

A- father
B- bet
C- chair
Ç- German 'Bücher' This sound is very hard to describe.
D- dad

Đß- thorn
E- bet
È- say
F- follow
G- get
H- him
I- me
J- yes
K- kick
L- low
M- my
N- now
Ŋŋ- song, Honk (at ends of words)
O- phone
Ǿ- her
P- pitcher
Q- Scottish 'Loch'
R- right
S- so
Ş- share
T- to
U- food
Ú- but
V- very
W- witch
Y- cat
Z- zoo
Żż- measure


Ok. This sound is not used if the case is formal. Yes, there is a formal case. It is replaced with a 'tt'

Spelling rules. Here we go. You will notice it looks like French.
There are silent letters. Mostly at the end of words.
Like 'fuax'. You will notice that the 'x' is not on the alphabet list. This is because it is not considered a letter.

Words can also have double vowels, like Finnish. Also like Finnish, the pronounciation is not changed. (Although in Finnish I do think the stress is changed)

kiigàa= kiga (never)

If there is a grave or acute accent on a letter (other than 'e' with the grave), then the pronounciation is not changed. But that doens't mean that it doesn matter.

An 'a' or 'u' can never stand alone at the rnd of a word. UNLESS there is a second of the same vowel before it. The former must have a grave accent. If there is only one of the 'a' or 'u', then you must put a 't' after.

vraijut= vr-eye-yoo {correct}
znajùu= znah-yoo (always}

If there is an 'e' at the end of a word, it is not pronounced.

Dale= dahl {dial}

Ai= eye
Oi= oi
Eu= Finnish 'y'

These are the pronouns in Nomnative/ Accusitive/ Dative/ Formal/ Possesive case

I: È- Mè- Mon- Men- Maŋ
You (s, inf.): Ut- Dùu- Don- |you will not use this pronoun in formal case| - Dat
He: Znat- Znaiiş- Znajat- Znen- Zauut
She: Se- Sja- Sen- Sur- San
It: Làa- Lee- Lon- Len- Lar

We: Vàa- Vuer- Vers- Var- Ikaß
You (pl): Aş- Argt- Vaŋjer- Ajen- Ajan
They: Gorii- Gorvki- Gor- Geen- Gansk
You (formal): Hut- Hatte- Hasse- Hasse- Hone

Let's talk about the formal case. It is if you are talking to a person who is considered formal. The formal case pronouns are used in a funny way. In formal case, word order can not be messed with, because the sentance will be messed up.

Let's talk about Word order.
This conlang hs German word order.
Strict SV1DOIOV2.
'i.e.- 'Ich habe mein[e][en] Essen gegessen.'
That means 'I ate my food'
I'm sorry I forget the gender of 'Essen'

If you were going to say'I gave him the pencil so he can write a paper.'
It would be-
I gave a pencil him so a paper he write can.
È-gebar un penkal zaja ou un reporrte znat kannon escrib.

Notice that when a secondary verb is thrown to the end, it just drops the 'èr'
Also notice that 'ou' allowed you to conjugate 'kannèr'.

All part of the grammar.
