[[Prototype Code For A Yet Unnamed Conlang]]
[[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.
Nouns pattern account for definiteness, gender, number.
The definite nouns:
Pattern Name Example English of Example
FaMaLa Definite Masculine Singular Noun nachawa the dog
FaMaLat Definite Masculine Dual Noun nachawat the dogs
FaMaLe Definite Masculine Plural Noun nachawe the dogs
FaMaLo Definite Neuter Singular Noun za'aho the house
FaMaLot Definite Neuter Dual Noun za'ahot the houses
FaMaLu Definite Neuter Plural Noun za'ahu the houses
FaMeLa Definite Common Singular Noun nachewa the dog
FaMeLat Definite Common Dual Noun nachewat the dogs
FaMeLe Definite Common Plural Noun nachewe the dogs
FaMeLo Definite Feminine Singular Noun nachewo the dog
FaMeLot Definite Feminine Dual Noun nachewot the dogs
FaMeLu Definite Feminine Plural Noun nachewu the dogs
The indefinite nouns:
Pattern Name Example English of Example
FaMoLa Indefinite Masculine Singular Noun nachowa dog
FaMoLat Indefinite Masculine Dual Noun nachowat dogs
FaMoLe Indefinite Masculine Plural Noun nachowe some dogs
FaMoLo Indefinite Neuter Singular Noun za'oho house
FaMoLot Indefinite Neuter Dual Noun za'ohot some houses
FaMoLu Indefinite Neuter Plural Noun za'ohu some houses
FaMuLa Indefinite Common Singular Noun nachuwa dog
FaMuLat Indefinite Common Dual Noun nachuwat dogs
FaMuLe Indefinite Common Plural Noun nachuwe some dogs
FaMuLo Indefinite Feminine Singular Noun nachuwo dog
FaMuLot Indefinite Feminine Dual Noun nachuwot some dogs
FaMuLu Indefinite Feminine Plural Noun nachuwu some dogs
The construct absolute can be used for possession or compound words. The absolute is just the normal noun.
The definite constructs:
Pattern Name Example English of Example
FeMaLa Definite Masculine Singular Noun Construct nechawa yarana the dog of the king
FeMaLat Definite Masculine Dual Noun Construct nechawat yarana the dogs of the king
