Full Version: Inventing Languages
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Those of us who enjoy inventing languages, post a sample and a translation of your language.
If you have an alphabet, too, take a picture of your sample written in your alphabet and post it.

The following sentences will serve as samples (you can also make up your own, longer piece of text):

My name is _insert name here_ and this is my language, _insert name of language_.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Mine:
Ye nomeh ii Athena ma owep ii ye lyriiaj, Aviita.
Ma taka maro kitsu utsede uratu ma siiza rufe.
Vu ii ma klo luar ah ben mantii o pen o ma quar lo ma avii.

My extra sample:
Qinda mii na te o ma ker
Ye nos ii fuende sol ma kaze
Mii na sa Dendra alletak miien
Mii noro lo penta ran

Mii na sa Laguin te ma lan
So noro sa noro lo pleitak an
So noro kiiem pleitak sol ro ta
Mii noro lo penta ran

Te ma mara, aru ma she
Miien sa sengal vatak rak lo yaj
So tsu mii fo zou joyiiya
Mii noro lo penta ran


Translation:
When I look into the trees
My hair is ruffled by the breeze
I see a Dryad walking there
I dream of coming along

I see a Dragon in the sky
And dream a dream of flying high
And dream your flying by my side
I dream of coming along

In the ocean, beneath the sea
There's a mermaid swimming ahead of me
And though I wave back merrily
I dream of coming along


A bit of a theme song for the story this language goes with.
Currently I'm trying to come up with a better grammar for my language, something that is different from English grammar, as it is, currently, a cipher for English (basically).  Hopefully making this language better will be easier after I take a college linguistics course next year...  (btw, I'm in 9th grade)
I don't really share my languages most of the time, but here's one of my scripts, sans translation for the moment:



I find people's reactions very entertaining when they rudely read over my shoulder and demand to know what language I'm writing in, to which I invariably truthfully reply, "English."  xD  They never seem to ask what script or alphabet I'm writing in.
Airánðís heltain ðepyan.
Pain felenpenairaflíramis daina díbyámdes, dain enpyeðramdaina 'ekdes, pain felenpenairaflíramis te'ek daina díbyámdes.
Sômen apdainipain, "Apakeðôn tíenbavekmôris enípiyíp dímôr." sômor.
Apainihelta tenpainanûmôr sômen, "Lar heltinat sô'enza lar felaheltat ðe'a lar enpyeðramlara eneha'ek aplarkôn 'Apakeðôn enípiyíp dímôr.' hehamôrdes." sômôr.
Pain tendainmôra, "Bavekan apaket dômitelanis ðemen gagarðekun ðebyen." sômôr
Hehahíramitin.

A woman minds a child.
She could put him into their yurt, or he could have his fun, then she could put him into their yurt because of what he had done.
And then she would ask him "What is the explanation for the trouble that you caused in front of everybody?"
He would say to her (because of what she had asked), "Ever since I was a little baby, and even now that I am a youth, every time I have fun you say 'What is the explanation for what happened in front of everybody?'"
She would reply, "Because this trouble makes my heart ache and causes me turmoil."
And so it goes again and again.

Sorry to be pedantic but the whole idea of this piece of English is that it's supposed to use every letter in the English language. This means it should be 'jumps' instead of jumped. Otherwise you'll miss out the letter 's' completely.

Ah...  I just stole it from the handwriting thread, I didn't know that's what it was designed for.  oops.

I wanted to post my script, but I haven't got any way to get pictures of it online...   Sad

Is it not possible to just type it in? I say that because you say 'script' so I think of wrting.


The person will have to use a typeface design package and then scan an example or scan a hand-written example of it.  You and I are currently using "Latin" script, for example.  If it's a unique script there is no way at all to "just type it in".

The biggest problem I have in conlanging is introducing irregularity.  Real languages are irregular, and it's tough to be systematically irregular.
Oh dear, I don't have any of this talent - still it looks interesting.
I used to have a language, but I don't remember some of it.  It was like:

Original:
Cya guun das verta gen das verticies in'coronont sAspies, yn gula.

Pronunciation:
Kyuh goon daz vurtuh jin daz vurteeceez ink-ronot Aspies, n gooluh?

Translation:
I am an Aspies and proud enough not to change, are you?

Dialect:
I am proud to be a non-changing Aspie, are you?

The reason why there is an 's' by Aspie is because it indicates a noun.
I never make sentences of fictional words or invent languages, but I like to come up with diffirent names, for my characters and places in my fantasy.

Here are are some examples:

Characters:
Camod'jien Chazzrah
Ihle Chamorde
Rogan Vaye
Cepterine Sorlakk

Nichollan(place 'n person)

Places 'n nations
Spectacon
Mecaize
Modjiquan
Silenia
Verasciaz's Corteh (Corteh is a words meant as coast but that's relative)


Just something funny, in Norwegian "lia" means "The Hill", so when you say Mongo'lia'...

Hangman!

Hmmm, I was under the impression that the root for Tolkien's elvish languages was primarily Finnish....  He said it fascinated him because the languages that surrounded it (geographically speaking) were nothing like Finnish, but that it seemed to be related to other languages quite far away from it.....
Nyanchan, I love inventing societies, pantheons, ect.!  I do it for my stories.... usually I have a lot more "world building" than actual completed story.  I like to experiment with "what if this society had THIS social norm or THAT social value" that would be seen as really wierd or unthinkable in most real-world societies.....  That gets me really cool wierd societies.
I have only recently started to develop this language, so the grammar's a bit sketchy and I don't have an alphabet yet.  

Nutyo nafrit efena Julia um efe hushyo Lengwana pon, "Teppery".

   They call me Julia and this is my language, Teppery.

Ziryo minuyo Kityo Raghna spoolunna hapu ober.

    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Pon kyna Dezyo moll daddell jumyo Watepyo shu nutem Kantreewa ellapna.

      Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country.

Nayeyo shu Collajna fo moll Berubunwa vomwa, Kainsyo shu Jupittana fo tag estunily vom.

   Girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. (It's not grammatically correct in my language, either.)

Jellayo swoom Zwayna kipikkayo bikna. Fallityo dishbanbanyo pon lapu Beksyo ser krakkomna grallitna Chirisna shew la Ahrowa.  

   Sparkling cumulus clouds fill the sky. The dark, yellow-orange leaves are falling like small, broken birds shot down by an arrow.
Blue sky, actually, in that last sentence. "Bik" means blue. Man, I wish there was an edit button. Rolleyes
