I am just a conlanger. I am retired so I have all kinds of time to spend on conlanging. I am working on a prototype language in which started as a language code that will be transformed into a language. The code is pre 3500 BC and the language about 3500 BC.

Prototype Code For A Yet Unnamed Conlang

The conlang that I am creating started life as a military code in the days before the tower of babel. I am putting the code here so that people can comment on it before I made the conlang.

The bulk of words in the code are two or three syllables plus whatever suffixes I come up with. These words have three consonant roots like the Semitic languages. So far there are about 2100 patterns that determine what the word means. These pattern uses five vowels and the consonants d, n, t, sh to determine meaning.

What I am looking for is problems with there patterns, that may be what the pattern means, the example that I am using. As far as the examples go, I come up with the example in English first and then in the code.

The first pattern group to look at is the nouns. The pattern is given first, then the name or function of the pattern, then the code example, and last the English of the example.

Nouns pattern account for definiteness, gender, number.

The definite nouns:

FaMaLa, Definite Masculine Singular Noun, nachawa, the dog

FaMaLat, Definite Masculine Dual Noun, nachawat, the dogs

FaMaLe, Definite Masculine Plural Noun, nachawe, the dogs
