Hello and welcome to the Council of Constructed Languages, Luthoulia, Renway, The maniolas!
Not too late for greetings?
Nice, and it sounds familiar to me for some reason.
Something interesting...
I'll try to do two of my conlangs.
Aurun
(Copied from an earlier post)
- Following the Uralic tradition of having a lot of cases, Aurun has 17 in total.
- Vowel harmony is slightly different where ü [y] is a neutral vowel but ˙ (üü) [y:] is a front vowel.
- The ˙ deserves a special mention as the long ü, which is written as üü in some languages but in Aurun, it has its own letter.
- The y can be pronounced in different ways but it's usually [i:] and in some cases it's [j] if it's at the start of the word.
Example:
Ya (yes) is ['ja]
Ya (I/me) is ['i:a]
In some Aurun dialects, ya (yes) is written as ja.
- Forming compound words usually has the connecting -n- between the two words if the former ends in a vowel. Sometimes it's not the case like in keikakö (cake month), because of phonology and stuff.
- It features sentence-final particles and one dialect uses it extensively.
>> That dialect is the Karalinne dialect.
- The Nörjänlappi dialect has two plural forms for two and more than two of said noun.
>> Example: Käivhä (Coffee) > Käivhäkäit (Two coffees) > Käivhäkäitet (A lot of f------ coffee)
- Long numbers, long words. Due to the heavy agglutinating feature of the language.
- Aurun is related to Aruzhin, Tälevani, and Kuyonnen.
Aruzhin
(Also copied from an earlier post)
- Influenced Aurun, canonically.
- It is where Aurun got the ˙ with extensive use.
- There are 45 noun forms total, not counting the plural forms.
- The definite article "the" is a suffix in the form of -ke and "is" is a prefix as... well, ke-.
- Numerals alternate between the -imi (-ini) and -iri endings that's leftover from a system in (Old) Aruz / Proto-Aruzhin where the endings determine between light / kuipiri and dark / kiitenimi (even and odd) numbers. With the literal meaning of "_ of light" and "_ of dark" respectively.
- Aruzhin writing system has the logographic Zuikiinti and a syllabic Röna that is used alongside the Latin script after it was introduced through contact.
>> Old Aruz used a runic alphabet that was adapted from the nearby Germanic areas and modified to fit the Aruz orthography.
Some of these might not be interesting and it's alright.
