Akbiekdi
Akbiekdi is an a priori conlang which was created by Renato Piereck. It purports to be "the official language of the Republic of Naro Ermase".
The Akbiekdi Alphabet
The alphabet in Akbiekdi consists of 21 letters:
a, b, e, d, i, f, o, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, u, v, x, z
The following letters are pronounced as in English:
b, d, f, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, v, z
The vowels are pronounced as follows:
a |as a in bad e as e in fed i as i in sin o as o in dog u as oo in cool
When vowels are doubled, they are pronounced as long vowels.
These consonants are pronounced differently:
g always hard as in good, never as in ginger r always rolled as in Italian x always as sh in shy
When consonants are doubled, they must be pronounced twice, as the Ls when saying "full life" in English.
Every letter is always pronounced.
The stress of words always falls on the next to the last syllable.
The name of each letter follows an easy convention:
- vowels: add -k to the vowel sound: ak, ek, ik, ok, uk
- consonants: add -i to the consonant: bi, di, fi, gi, hi, ji, ki, li, mi, ni, pi, ri, si, ti, vi, xi, zi
The name of the language, Akbiekdi, is the name of the first four letters of the alphabet: a-b-e-d: ak-bi-ek-di
Here is the pronunciation for a few words:
naro "NAH-roh", room mase "MAH-seh", I, me
