OT2.0
From FrathWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
An eclectic language created from texts from the Teach Yourself language books, originally produced by the English Universities Press, latterly by Hodder and Stoughton.
The guiding principle was to take foreign language words from the contents pages of each grammar and use them as the basis of an imaginary language. Also used were irregularities affecting verbs and nouns, etc., and descriptions of courtesy language (notably, Japanese, Samoan and Modern Persian).
The language creator is Andrew Smith.
Details of the language speakers and culture are as yet unknown.
to be
The present tense of 'to be' is as follows:
me mi | I am | meme en | we are |
te si | you (sg) are | tete ti | you (pl) are |
ta ti | he is | ga en (ti) | they are |
The pronouns for 'she' and 'it' are da and ten respectively. If the subject is a plural noun, the verb form is ti rather than en.
