= 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) === |

|||

|||
=== 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") |

== 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''' |
