Description
A sort of auxlang for furries.
Pronunciation and Spelling
- The accent goes on the first syllable of the word.
Vowels
There are five vowels:
a e i o u
These may be pronounced as in Spanish or Italian, with the exception that a is a schwa (IPA: /ə/), as in the English word cut.
E and o may also be pronounced as /æ/ and /ɑ/ respectively (the vowels of American English "cat" and "paw").
Consonants
f h j k l m n ng p r s sh t th w y z
These are all pronounced with their English values, with two exceptions:
- j is /ʒ/ as in “Asia”, (the same as in French)
- z is pronounced like “ts”, (the same as in German).
Sometimes consonants are written double: ff, ck, ll, rr, tt, tz, etc. This is generally just a reminder of the pronunciation; the letters are not pronounced double.
Grammar
Pronouns
Like Japanese, Sirius does not require pronouns in most places, especially when context is enough. Instead you can use a name, species, title, or whatever.
Like English, Sirius pronouns have different forms for subject and object, but unlike English they are not marked for person or number; thus there is no difference between "I" and "she" and "they"; hi is used for all of them.
However, a distinction is made between in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) pronouns. There are also possessive forms.
