Okies. Ha. Number like 362349876329863218. This one is highly Icelandic.
Like. Uber-much-so.
I'm sorry that I'm making the text so large. I'm afraid that some of my letters might not show up large enough.
A- f[a]ther
À- c[ow]
B- {b]ed
D- [d]a[d]
Þ- [th]ick
Đď- hard [tt]- When used in proper nouns, it is not pronounced. It is replaced with 'tth'
E- m[e]t
È- bt
F- [f]ather
G- never pronounced, except when it comes between two vowels, or at the beginning of a word before a vowel. In these cases, it is like the German Ja[hr]e. It is a very guttural [sp?] sound, that I believe does not exist in English.
Gh- [g]et
H- [h]e
I- m[e]
Ì- bt
J- [y]es
K- [k]i[ck]
Khh- [ch]air
L- [l]et
M- [m]e
N- [n]o
O- n[o]
Ò- b[ir]d
P- [p]erson
R- [r]ight
S- ight
Ss- [sh]are
T- [t]oday
U- f[oo]d
Ù- [you]
V- [v]ary
Y- the Russian 'Ы'
Z- [z]ebras
Zz- treaure
Ai- [eye]
Oi- this is another hard sound to describe. Take your mouth, and start to say 'mood', but change the vowel to the 'uh' sound (bt) without moving your lips. You can get but with 'ih', but it's incorrect.
Oy- t[oy]
Ei- y[ay]
Ui- [we]
Eu- just say the two together.
Ae- c[a]t
Ee- m[ay], but very soft
What you need to watch out for is 'e'. 'E' as a word means 'I', but it is pronounced like the [ee] in the English 'me'

Here are the pronouns:
'E' is pronounced 'ee'.
There is no difference in Accusative case and Dative case.
The possessives only have one form, despite the three genders.
All verb infinitives end in 'in'
All verbs are conjugated by number rather than person.
To be- sin
Singluar- ar
(For I, You, He, She, etc.)
Plural- sent
(For we, you, they)
---------------------------------
To Have- habin
Singular- a ('E a' is shortened to 'E'a', but is pronounced the same)
Plural- hab
For all other regular verbs-
Singular- [root](no ending)
Plural- [root]a
To make a verb in the past, you must conjugate to have, then add 'i' to the end of the other verb.
Ex- E'a essi = I ate (I have eaten)
Fi hab essai = We ate (We have eaten)
But just like in English, how you can say both I have eaten, and I ate; you do not need the form of habin. If you have a direct object (like 'I ate the apples), then habin is required. But most other times you can just say 'E essi'. They will from habin a lot of times in songs to get the words to match with the music.
Future tense uses this formula-
[Pronoun] [conjugation of 'virdin'] [root of second verb]
E vird ess = I will eat
Fi virda ess = We will eat
Just like in German and Icelandic, virdin (taken from German 'werden') also means 'to become'.
To negate a verb, add 'ne' to the root of the conjugated verb.
'Nen' in the verb begins with a vowel or 't'.
There is but one word for 'the', despite there being three genders.
It is 'þà'.
Everything else must agree in gender, but I guess the other forms of the were lost over the years.
A/ An is as follows:
Masc.- In
Fem.- Ain
Neut.- Oyn
Any word order goes, but typically people stick to SDOVIO.
Let's talk about gender and pluralization.
There are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
Just like in German, there is no way to tell the gender of a noun but they way it is spelled. You learned up there ^^ the articles.
Gender and adjectives-
Masculine- end in 'n'. If you need to add one, then do so.
If it ends in one, then don't change anything.
If you need to, add 'en'. This keeps you from getting words like 'Galinitiln' (expensive).
Feminine- end in 'e'
If it ends in a consonant, and an 'e'.
If it ends in a vowel, add 'te'.
Neuter- nothing is changed.
Plural- if it ends in a vowel, add 'ti'.
If it ends in a consonant, add 'i'.
Let's take the colours.
Rottn is red.
Rottn is masc.
Rottne is fem.
Rottn is neuter.
Rottni is plural.
Blui is blue.
Bluin is masc.
Bluite is fem.
Blui is neuter.
Bluiti is plural.

Let's learn some basic words, non?
Hello- Halli
My name is- E hais
What is your name?- Vu hais þug?/ Vu þug hais?
What is your name? (formal)- Vu hais zu?/ Vu zu hais?
What time is it?- Hvag toim ar da?
It's three o'clock- Ar dat ďrai toima. (Replace with any number. Minutes come after 'toima')
Thank you- Dankiu
Thank you (formal)- Dank zur.
You're welcome- Nasninghu
I love your language! How do you say [...] in Þuroisiàn?-
E lìb tinn spraker! Vu sprek man [...] à Þuroisià?
Who- Verg
What- Vaþ
When- Hven
Where- Hvo
Why- Varhu
How- Vu
How are you?- Vu ar þug?
How are you? (formal)- Vu ar zu?
I am fine- E ar gue.
... bad- ....fratin
... okay- ....so isi.
And- u
Rottn
Orage
Gelb
Ghryn
Blui
Indigo
Pòrpfl
Svarts
Vais - White
Gres - Grey
Bràna
How about a cultural note?
The Þuroisians have a saying when they are departing from a person, and they know that they will never see this person again (they also say it to a dead person in a coffin as they walk by in the big line).
It is 'Gùþ ars mal dig ans Vekk d'all.'
Literally, this is 'God is [mal has no meaning. It's like.... just a word to enforce the idea....] to you at Way all.'
But it means- God will always be with you.
'Ars' is an old conjugation of 'sin', kind of like the Old English 'art'.

Here are some pics that I edited with words!
This is me and my hamster, Nicotine.
I didn't name him, my friend did. (Because he's so addictive! XD)
'Kiss me. I love You!'
This is me being a zombie for a Halloween party last year. I won the scariest costume!
'EEEKK'
'The zombie's gonna eat me!'
How does this all relate to the thread?
It prolly doesn't.
But I was bored, and well. Who could resist?
