News- I will abandoning this conlang, to work on my others, the ones that I find, well, more complex than this one. I may come back to it, but don't expect and updates for a while.
This conlang is known as 'Lingua Noraby' or 'La Lingua Noraby'. 'Noraby' is a word I use in every conlang I create.
This is the conlang I use the most often, and I am very fluent at it, though at times, I will have to look back on something.
This language is very unlike my others in that it does have gender and articles. ACCENTUATION IS VERY IMPORTANT, but it does not change the meaning of a word as in other languages.
It is based on Latin, Spanish, and Italian; but with some Russian and Polish thrown in because well, they are sexy. sweatdrop
The Alphabet-
Aa- [ah] as in father
Áá- [ah], adds emphasis the the previous, and next syllables
Àà- [ah], is accented, makes a noun feminine
Bb- as in boat
Cc- [ch] before 'e' or 'i' only
Çç- as in see, adds emphasis to next syllable
Ch- [k] but the mouth is almost round
Dd- [d] as in dad
Ee- [eh] ad in bet
Éé- [eh] adds emphasis the the previous, and next syllables
Èè- [ay] as in May, is accented, and makes a noun neuter
Ff- [f] as in father
Gg- [g] as in go
Hh- [x] as in Loch, or German Bach
Ii- [ee] as in see
Jj- [y][ as in yet
Kk- [k], used only after another consonant, or in loan words
Ll- [l] as in let
Mm- [m] and in met
Nn- [n] as in never
Oo- [oh] as in no
Óó- [oh], adds emphasis the the previous, and next syllables
Òò- [oh], is accented and makes a noun masculine
Pp- [p] as in pastor
Rr- [r] as in rotten
Ss- as in see
Tt- [t] as in toe
Uu- [oo] as in shoe
Vv- [f] as in father, used only in loan words
Ww- [v] as in vary
Yy- [ui] like the Russian 'Ы', there is no such sound in English, but think of it as a fast 'uh + ee'
Zz- [z] as in zone
Żż- [zh] as in pleasure
Diphthongs-
A+ i/j- [eye] as in eye
E+ i/j/- [ay] as in May
U+ any other vowel= [w+vowel sound]

Grammar- {This is going to be long}
There are three genders--
Masculine
Feminine
Neuter
Unlike many languages, they are very easy.
You can tell by the ending of a word.
Masculine ends in 'o' {or any of its accentuated forms}
'chompento'= competent
'apartmento'= apartment
Feminine ends in 'a' {or any of its accentuated forms}
'fèminiszia' = Feminist
Neuter ends in 'e' {or accentuat... you get it} or in any consonant
'szugan'= shogun
Each of the genders also has articles, which are as easy as the genders themselves.
Definite-
Masc.- 'lo' is singular, 'lot' is plural
Femin.-'la' is singular', 'lat' is plural
Neuter- 'il' is singular', ils' is plural
'lo apartmento'
'la fèminiszia'
'il szugan'
What did I tell you? Very like Italian and Spanish.
Heck, the singular forms are Italian.
Indefinite-
Masc.- un
Femin.- unà
Neuter- unè
'un apartmento'
'unà fèminiszia'
'unè szugan'
The indefinite articles have no plural.
Making nouns plural is so simple.
Add 'n', and in the case it ends in a consonant, add 'i'
'lot apartmenton'
'lat fèminiszian'
'ils szugani'
The sentance order is VSO and SVO for questions.
'Ison ja a mojo apartmento'= I go to my apartment
'Tu isua a twajo apartmento?'= Do you go to your apartment?
Easy huh?
Pronouns-
I- ja
You {sing. informal}- tu
He- on
She- onà
It- onè
We- nos
You {formal}- wu
You- plural- wus
They- onis
These pronouns are both Objective and Subjective, meaning that 'ja' means both I and me. It is understood by where the word is in the sentence, and how the verb is conjugated.
The Possessive pronouns are more tricky.
They endings are either 'à', 'è', or 'ò', depending on gender.
My/ mine- moj-/moż-
Your/ Yours {both informal and formal]- twoj-/ twoż-
His sing./ plural- onj-/ onż-
Hers s/p- çonj-/ çoż-
Its s/p- lonj-/ lonż-
Our s/p- noj-/ nosj-
Their s/o- onij-/ onisj-

Verbs-
All infinitives end in either 'asz' or 'esz'.
They are conjugated depending on the ending.
Unlike my other conlangs, pronouns must be included in the sentence.
For 'asz'-
-o
-ua
-ot
-asze
-ue
-uen
-i
For 'esz'
-on
-ua
-or
-esze
-ue
-uen
-i
Pamasz= To pulverize
Ja pamo, tu pamua, etc.
Isesz= to go
Ja ison, tu isua, etc.
Past tense--
So easy.
Add 'ge' to the end.
Isonge ja= I went
Isuage tu= You went
Future tense--
Little harder
You add 'do' to the beginning of the conjugated verb, and 'sza' before the pronoun.
Doison sza ja= I will go.
Present perfect--
Add 'em' to the beginning of the verb.
Emison ja= I am going
Emisua tu= You are going.
Future/ Past Perfect--
Add the conjugated form of 'to be' instead of the pronoun.
In fact that's conjugate that now.
Like my other conlangs, when you conjugate to be, you do not need the pronoun it goes with.
To be= falasz
Ja jan
Tu es
On, onà, onè- se
Nos- Nosz
Wu/ Wus- Sont
Onis- Gori
Negation-
Add 'nu' for present tenses.
'Non' for past tenses.
And 'naj' for future tenses.
Simply add the correct form after the conjugated verb, before the subject.
