Nordien

Nordien, a fictional language, was developed by Aaron Chapman, which is developing towards a international auxiliary language.

Design principles

Nordien is a simplified version of a Germanic conlang. It combines an easy grammar and easy phonology with a vocabulary from taken from other Germanic languages. In spite of the simplification its still sounds natural.

Language sources

Nordien vocabulary is based on German, English, Dutch and Scandinavian languages

Interest of Others Recently a Wiki Space for Nordien was created, where different contributors develop the language further. A Yahoo Group for Nordien will be established soon. Nordien is very easy to learn for speakers of at least one Germanic language.

Sample Translation Nordien Translation: Sternlikt

   Eg skal jagen de sternlikt 
   Tils min livnings end 
   Eg vet neet als het er' vider tidvard 
   Holden deg i min armar 
   Eg nur vilte holden 
   deg i min armar 
   (Muse - Starlight) 

Original English Version Starlight

   I will be chasing the starlight 
   Until the end of my life 
   I don't know if it's worth it anymore 
   Hold you in my arms 
   I just wanted to hold 
   You in my arms 
   (Muse - Starlight)
