A new language
Let's create a new language together. Here's a starting point:
Name: Luminari
Phonology: Luminari will have a simple phonology system with 14 consonant phonemes and 5 vowel phonemes.
Consonants:
- p, t, k, m, n, ng, f, v, s, h, j, w, r, l
Vowels:
- i, e, a, o, u
Morphology: Luminari will be an agglutinative language, with a system of suffixes and prefixes that attach to roots to form words.
Syntax: Luminari will have a subject-verb-object word order.
Vocabulary: Let's start with some basic words:
- Hello: Zha (pronounced zhah)
- Goodbye: Vora (pronounced voh-rah)
- Thank you: Kala (pronounced kah-lah)
- Yes: Aro (pronounced ah-roh)
- No: Ora (pronounced oh-rah)
- Water: Mora (pronounced moh-rah)
- Fire: Sora (pronounced soh-rah)
- Sun: Luma (pronounced loo-mah)
- Moon: Numa (pronounced noo-mah)
Grammar: Let's start with some basic grammar rules:
- Verbs will be marked for tense (present, past, future) using suffixes.
- Nouns will be marked for case (nominative, accusative, genitive) using suffixes.
- Adjectives will agree with the nouns they modify in case and number.
Example sentences:
- Zha, kala! (Hello, thank you!)
- Vora, ora! (Goodbye, no!)
- Mora sora luma. (The water is on fire.)
- Numa aro luma. (The moon is shining.)
This is just a starting point, and we can add more features and complexity to the language as we go along. What would you like to add or change?
