Modern Arithide is the standard tongue of Arithia, and the modern descendant of Classical Arithide. It is mostly spoken by the Areth, although significant numbers of people speak it as a second or third language across Arophania and Marcasia.

on the language's history and a diachronic analysis.

New letters

Romanisation

The romanisation of Arithide is based strictly on the rule of a 1:1 correspondence in orthography between the Roman and Lazeic alphabets, such that any transcript is fully reversible; besides ignoring sound-changes that have occurred since the Arithide Renaissance, this also leads occasionally to pronunciations strange to the Western ear. Alternative romanisations are mainly phonetically-based, and involve less mind-work in pronunciation.

Diphthongal sequences of [ti], [tj] + vowel gave rise to the new phoneme /ʧ/, which received its own letter in the Renaissance period; similarly, from [si], [sj] + vowel developed /ʃ/, which also received its own letter at the same time. The new letters are used to indicate the /ʧ/ and /ʃ/ sounds where not historically derived, such as in loanwords; where the conditioning vowel has been lost, especially at the ends of words. Additionally, [ʃ] deriving from a word- or syllable-finally devoiced /ʒ/ is written with <sh> instead of <gi>.

2

The sound /ʤ/ only occurs in word-initial position due to historical reasons: it arose from the diphthongal sequence [di], [dj] + vowel. 

3

The post-vocalic [g]-lenition that began in the Renaissance with [g] > [ɣ] proceeded further in the modern era to give [j] after [a], [e], [i] (as well as modifying the vowel qualities) and [w] after [o]. Etymological orthographic rules dictate the preservation of <g> in such cases.

4

From the [gn] and [ng] sequences developed the /ŋ/ phoneme, in the former case by nasalising the [g], and in the latter by velarising the [n] and losing the [g]. Whereas historical [ng] has since received its own letter and is written with it unless the [g] was preserved by a succeeding vowel (in which case the orthographical sequence <ng> is retained), historical [gn] has been preserved in spelling due to the strong retentiveness of the latter [n] element, even where the sequence has coalesced to a simple [ŋ].

5

In combination with preceding vowels, [r] has been lost, instead giving rise to a host of (mostly) rounded long vowels; the new sounds have retained the traditional orthography using <r>. Analogically, a similar scenario has occurred with [l], albeit without loss of the [l] sound, resulting merely in altered vowel qualities. 

6

The devocalisation of pre-vocalic [i] to [j] and [u] to [w] that occurred during the Mediaeval period necessitated two new letters due to syllabification ambiguity and stress shifts.

Social Contract: Artrem Etilidas

The following is a translation of the first paragraph and a footnote of Chapter 4, Book 4 of Du contrat social by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

French Arithide Phonetic
Nous n’avons nuls monuments bien assurés des premiers temps de Rome ; il y a même grande apparence que la plupart des choses qu’on en débite sont des fables* ; et en général la partie la plus instructive des annales des peuples, qui est l'histoire de leur établissement, est celle qui nous manque le plus. L’expérience nous apprend tous les jours de quelles causes naissent les révolutions des empires; mais comme il ne se forme plus de peuples, nous n’avons guère que des conjectures pour expliquer comment ils se sont formés.
  • Le nom de Rome qu’on prétend venir de Romulus est grec, et signifie force ; le nom de Numa est grec aussi, et signifie Loi. Quelle apparence que les deux premiers rois de cette ville aient porté d’avance des noms si bien relatifs à ce qu’ils ont fait?

Sinews of Peace: Valonin Tistēs

This is a translation of an excerpt of Winston Churchill's Sinews of Peace speech, more commonly known as the Iron Curtain speech.

English Arithide Phonetic>
A shadow has fallen upon the scenes so lately lighted by the Allied victory. Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its Communist international organization intends to do in the immediate future, or what are the limits, if any, to their expansive and proselytizing tendencies. I have a strong admiration and regard for the valiant Russian people and for my wartime comrade, Marshal Stalin. There is deep sympathy and goodwill in Britain - and I doubt not here also - towards the peoples of all the Russias and a resolve to persevere through many differences and rebuffs in establishing lasting friendships. We understand the Russian need to be secure on her western frontiers by the removal of all possibility of German aggression. We welcome Russia to her rightful place among the leading nations of the world. We welcome her flag upon the seas. Above all, we welcome constant, frequent and growing contacts between the Russian people and our own people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is my duty however, for I am sure you would wish me to state the facts as I see them to you, to place before you certain facts about the present position in Europe.

From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an "iron curtain" has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow.

Les feuilles mortes: Revēs Ossim

The following is a translation of Yves Montand's famous song.

French Arithide Phonetic
Oh, je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes

Des jours heureux ou nous étions amis.
En ce temps-là, la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlent qu'aujourd'hui.

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi.

Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli.
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais...

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais, et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais.

Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.

Ō, ao sofionēs hē ria natēs eg

Fenesunei ognē deire.
Sit nevum, legnatō ra arie ou rīsoreri
Nam simar ou lasioreri.

Revēs ossim ou tauvol ibat sthere

Revēs ossim ou tauvol ibat sthere
Eg fenesēs sines perhistēs.

Neig taite abyssyns um.

Aou deg sofii, nam dou ag sofii.

Deg sofii aos, ag sofii de.

Rea kinnē, jou nie.

Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: Ersag, Abrad, Nīs nam Bosen

This is a translation of an excerpt of Winston Churchill's Blood Toil Tears and Sweat speech.

English Arithide Phonetic
I say to the House as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.

You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.

I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."

House i ou ok therepsyrros i kelyna midrēs iena palle: skaribale lethos ou verim ersag, abrad, nīs nam buos. Rikin ultum ou kantadurastim polyns stritos eg sene. Rikin ultum ou rea, rea pou gaeēs in irithos nam penadir eg sene.
