= Revive the Abandoned <i>Powerful</i> Conlang =

In 2022, I created a simple conlang at school. I kept the dictionary and added many words into it... until the dictionary was missing. Now I can hardly remember it.

...Except a sentence that I used to insult my headmaster secretly:
<blockquote><sub>0</sub>git<sup>3</sup> bob <sub>3</sub>tap<sup>-1</sup></blockquote>
<small><i>Pronounced "Trigitap-bob-untaptal".</i></small>

Now, I'll recreate it... that looks like the previous, but the meanings are completely different.

== Pronunciation ==
=== Consonants ===
Pronounced similarly to English, with the following exceptions:
* '''r''' can be any rhotic sound (e.g., /r/, /ɾ/, /ɹ/, or even /l/ like in some Japanese dialects).

=== Vowels ===
The vowels are:
* '''a, o, e, i'''
Pronounced as in Japanese (short and pure).

== Word Formation ==
Words follow the structure:
''' (prefix) + Starting Consonant + Vowel + Ending Consonant + (suffix) '''

=== Starting Consonants ===
Allowed single consonants:
* '''p, t, k, b, d, g'''
Allowed consonant clusters:
* '''pr, tr, kr, br, dr, gr'''

'''Exceptions:'''
* Pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and numbers may omit the starting consonant.

=== Ending Consonants ===
Allowed: '''p, t, k, b, d, g, r, l, n'''

=== Vowels ===
Only four vowels are used: '''a, o, e, i'''

== Affixes ==
=== Suffixes (Written Before the Word) ===
Suffixes determine the word's grammatical role:
* '''1''' (no suffix) → Verb/pronoun/preposition/conjunction
* '''2''' (-al) → Adjective or adverb
* '''3''' (-an) → Noun (inanimate)
* '''5''' (-ar) → Noun (animate)

'''Exceptions:'''
Most pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions do not use suffixes.

=== Prefixes (Written as Superscript) ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Prefix !! Form !! Meaning
|-
| '''-5''' || ka- || Combined meaning of -1 and 5
|-
| '''-3''' || da- || Combined meaning of -1 and 3
|-
| '''-2''' || pa- || Combined meaning of -1 and 2
|-
| '''-1''' || a- || Inverts the word's meaning
|-
| '''0''' || la- || Similar to "en-" in "enable"
|-
| '''1''' || (none) || Neutral meaning
|-
| '''2''' || ba- || One degree greater than normal
|-
| '''3''' || ta- || Two degrees greater than normal
|-
| '''5''' || ga- || Abstract or conceptual meaning
|}

== Grammar & Syntax ==
=== Phrase Structure ===
# '''Noun/Verb Phrase:'''
#* Noun/Verb + Adjective/Adverb
# '''Sentence Structure:'''
#* Noun + Intransitive Verb (+ Preposition + Noun)
#* Noun + Transitive Verb + Noun (+ Preposition + Noun)

=== Tense Markers ===
Tense is optionally marked before the verb:
* '''a''' → Past tense ("did")
* '''e''' → Future tense ("will do")
* '''i''' → Present progressive ("is doing")
* '''(No marker)''' → Simple present ("do/does")

== Dictionary ==
=== Core Words ===
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| '''top''' || add || Verb
|-
| '''<sub>2</sub>kreb''' || Clever
|}

== Numerals ==
Digits are assigned consonants:
'''1 = b, 2 = p, 3 = d, 4 = t, 5 = g, 6 = k, 7 = l, 8 = h, 9 = r'''

=== Number Pronunciation Rules ===
# Split the number into groups of four digits.
# Each group '''αβγδ''' is pronounced as '''αaβoγeδin'''.
#* If a digit is '''0''', skip its consonant-vowel pair.
#* '''Special case''': "0000" is pronounced '''an'''.
# Join all groups and prefix with '''i-'''.

=== Example: 1145141919810 ===
# Split: '''1 1451 4191 9810'''
# Convert:
#* 1 → '''bin'''
#* 1451 → '''batogebin'''
#* 4191 → '''taborebin'''
#* 9810 → '''rahoben'''
# Combine: '''ibinbatogebintaborebinrahoben'''

=== Fractions ===
The fraction bar is pronounced '''enk'''.
Example: '''11 4514 / 191 9810''' →
'''ibebintagobetinenkiborebinrahoben'''


=== Unofficial ===
<i>If anybody has some idea, you can put here as well.</i>
