Loidarsideli (loy-DAHR-seed-ellie) is a language based on the four major elements; Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. For each element, there are thirteen sounds.
Air sounds end with one vowel.
Water sounds end with two vowels.
Earth sounds end with a harsh consonant. (T, K, D, and a hard G)
Fire sounds end with a softer consonant. (S, R, and Z)
Water sounds end with two vowels.
Earth sounds end with a harsh consonant. (T, K, D, and a hard G)
Fire sounds end with a softer consonant. (S, R, and Z)
This means that there are fifty-two sounds under the elements. Only eight sounds exist beyond that of the elements. (ji, pu, wo, nn, fo, ma, yo, vi)
Vowels:
a – ah (as in father)
e – eh (as in bet)
i – ee (as in feet)
o – oh (as in row)
u – oo (as in food)
(y is not included, as it is not in the alphabet by itself)

The seven irregular sounds are actually words.
ji – (jeep)
pu – (poo)
wo – (whoa)
nn – (just ‘n’ drug out)
fo – (for)
ma – (more)
yo – (yodel)
vi – (vee)
‘Ji’ is placed on the end of words to make them negative. Let’s say you want to say “not happy”.
Happy is usually thought of as bubbly, so it is made up of two air elements, and one water element.
Evaesidai = happy
Now, to make it into not happy, or unhappy, we simply add ‘ji’ to the end.
Evaesidaiji = unhappy
‘Pu’ is the equivalent to the question mark.
Each question word is made from a single element of Fire. They are:
Bur - Who
Dar - What
Zer - Where
Nur - When
Kar - Why
Laz – How
Thus meaning that the above Fire sounds may not be used as a singular word (except for those words, obviously). Each of these sounds must have ‘pu’ following directly after it.
So, if I wanted to ask ‘Where?’ I’d say: Zer pu?
‘Wo’ is just the word for “I”. It is used when addressing oneself.
‘Nn’ is the word for “yes”. (Make sure you don’t place ‘ji’ after this, or you’ll have some confused people!)
‘Fo’ is the word for “no”.
“Ma” is used at the end of verbs to make commands.
“Yo” is just the word for ‘you’.
“Vi” makes babies. Have more than one thing? Stick ‘vi’ on the end of it.
