Unreleased Draft from [2-2016]: Fantasy Languages - Linguistic basic, as applied to fantasy languages

What is Linguistics?

The study of languages, normally human, but in fantasy genre it would also include other species and races.

What are Languages?

Systems that communicate ideas and actions through symbols, gestures, and sounds, structured with grammar which have meaning.

In fantasy, it could include grunts, hisses, roars, and other more animal type sounds depending on the species.

What is Phonetics?

Using sounds to communicate and understand.

What are Morphenes?

They are the smallest unit of sound that has meaning or grammar function.

[2/29/20 Note on this previously unreleased blog post:

This blog post had been writing directly after 2-1-16 post on Creating a Fantasy Language. I can't remember why I wrote this, but it looks to be an overview of the sounds of languages which fits in as a predecessor of Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 1: Sounds. I do remember being interesting in linguistics and even reading a book covering the basics. I probably will not return to this topic again, so I'll publish these basics. ]

Total Words in Fairy Language

To the 197 words that we made in the two prior posts, we have now added 13 important words (used as prefix and suffix), which brings our total Fairy words to 210 important basic Fairy words.

The next post I'll continue with another set of common fantasy jargon words like sword, magic, and more.

We Created 55 verbs to which we can add further meaning

From the last two posts we created 55 verbs. They were also each tested with several nouns.

One of the most common  functions of verbs is to provide time period information in addition to the action which is the tense of the verb. Many languages have the tenses past, present, and future. Some have only two such as past and non-past or future and non-future.

Tense

For fairy/celestial language, I think that it would be neat to focus mainly on the present moment rather than the past or the future. Many of our modern expressions and phrases tell us to focus on the moment, 'don't worry about the future', and 'not dwell on the past'. What happen's if our collective identified faries not only think according to the well being of the group but maybe they mainly think about the 'here and now' more than the future or what happened in the past.

For the non-present word, it could most likely refer to the past. That way they can describe what happened and use it as lessons.

If I create a word for future action maybe it can be used in terms of prophesy or oracle prediction rather than intention

But first we need to construct something to add or go with the 55 verbs to modify their meaning. Let's revisit the 55 verbs first..

1 to drink                 elsha

10 to see                        zeja
11 to hear                           teni

Making a verb tense modifier

To make these verb tense first I review the key sounds that I've already established in the prior sections. I do this in order to minimize possible confusion due to creating similar sounding words or modifiers of words. I make a large table showing all of the consonant vowel and vowel consonant combinations. I then cross out the sounds used so far for grammatical uses.

Eliminating possible distracting or confusing sounds

I have used these modifiers so far
ara   (ar ra)
tha, fe
osh, oz
wa, ni, li, sho, ne
nga, na, no, ma

I also eliminate some of English commonly used verb and grammatical sound modifiers such as ed, ing, the/thi (reminds me of 'the' and 'thee' in Eng), li (sounds like -ly), we/wi (reminds me of 'we' pronoun), and re/ri.

Interesting unused consonant sounds

The consonant sounds that stick out the most to me are f, y, j, ts, l, and v as interesting prospective uses.

	a	e	i	o	a	e	i	o
l	la	le	li	lo	al	el	il	ol
r	ra	re	ri	ro	ar	er	ir	or
s	sa	se	si	so	as	es	is	os
sh	sha	she	shi	sho	ash	esh	ish	osh
f	fa	fe	fi	fo	af	ef	if	of

h	ha	he	hi	ho	ah	eh	ih	oh
w	wa	we	wi	wo	aw	ew	iw	ow
z	za	ze	zi	zo	az	ez	iz	oz

Present Tense

So, I begin with my structure that i decided on earlier

1) present tense       (j)ey [which is pronounced like English aye or jay] 
I'll make it a suffix much like English -ing, which may help recognizing its function.'jey' is only used when proceeded by a vowel sound root word ending. Whereas 'ey' is used when proceeded by a consonant root word ending.

to drink elsha;  is/am drinking, drink, drinks elshajey
to eat irets; is/am eating, eat, eats iretsey
to fight dazom; is/am fighting, fight, fights dazomey

Non-Present tense

2) non-present tense   Fa(v)
Instead of being a suffix, I'll make the non-present tense a prefix.

to drink elsha;  was drinking, drank, have drunk, will drink, will have drunk, should drink, could drink, could have drunk, might drink, will be drinking, will have been drinking favelsha
to eat irets; was eating, ate, had eaten, will eat, will have eaten, should eat, could eat, could have eaten, might eat, will be eating, will have been eating favirets
to fight dazom; was fighting, fought, had fought, will fight, will have fought, should fight, could fight, could have fought, might fight, will be fighting, will have been fighting fadazom

Prophesy or oracle prediction

3) prophectic or oracle prediction (seeing into the future) tso(l)
When something has been seen and is known as prophetic, then this word will be used. The chance of occurring is nearly certain because of a vision or seeing the future. This form isn't just future tense, it's almost like a past tense version of the future. Fairies consider these events to have already occurred, and time is waiting for the situations to be triggered.

to drink elsha;  will certainly drink, it has been seen that __ will drink, it is written that ___ will drink tsolelsha
to eat irets; will certainly eat, it has been seen that __ will eat, it is written that ___ will eat tsolirets
to fight dazom; will certainly fight, it has been seen that __ will fight, it is written that ___ will fight tsodazom

Total Words in Fairy Language

To the 194 words that we made in the prior posts, we have now added 3 important words (used as prefix and suffix), which brings our total Fairy words to 197 important basic Fairy words.

The next post I'll consider common fantasy jargon words like sword, dragon, magic, and more.

Verbs

This post will set up the actual creation of the verbs. First I list the 55 Swadesh verbs. Then I go back to the 2nd post and take all of the nouns and try to match them with whatever verb that I might relate the fairy word with. 

I'm doing this for two main reasons and one good possible result.

1. I want to see how the words look near the verbs, to see how they will sound. I forgot many of these nouns that I made up several months ago. This reduces the brain strain to try analyzing sufficiency of the sounds.
2. I want to see if any of the words might contain a root word, pattern, common sound, or something I can reuse in order to quicken creation.
3. A side effect of doing this might be creating a set of sounds that is more unified and consistent.

Why

I forgot to add 'why' to the list of the question words. So I will begin with it. Why mainly works with verbs, which I will add in the next few posts. This is because most 'why' questions are concerned with actions, events, and occurrences rather than adjectives - as in 'why is the sky blue?'.

'Why' will be what reason.

1. Why        ara-nithyaz

To get the final word for why I constructed it using this method. I create the word for 'reason'.

For reason I want to combine two words - heart and head - since reasons will be either emotionally from the heart, or mentally from the head.

Finding the two words that I wrote in the first post, I then deconstruct them and create further meaning to the syllables.
head       yaz
heart        nith

1. I'll say that yaz means brain or thought
2. Nith will mean emotion or feelings
3. Reason           nithyaz   

Pronouns

For pronouns I want to something a little interesting. I want there to be no word for 'I'. In fact, I want singular 'you', 'it', 'he', 'she', and the neutral pronoun 'one' to be outside of collective communities.. Fairies will be very communal and will not have the concept of living alone, and will use 'We' for 'our collective' the first person pronoun instead. Then they will speak of 2nd person 'you all' to refer to another collective. And 'They' for a third person collective. Fairy language will be the celestial language of angels as well. There is one word that will mean 'a person outside of collective community' regardless of the plurality or point of view of the speaker.

Opposing the Fairy language, I will make a corrupt language where there is no concept of 'we' and they only use 'I', 'you (singular)', 'he/she/it'. A large separation of individuals. This will be the demonic and devil language.

1. we w/ you (inc)                         eng
2. you, you all, yall                        esh
3. they                                          zu
4. Outside of any collective community: you (singular), he/she/it, one               tsod

So a simple sentence might be 'we are cold' which is nawin fe eng.

I'm not going to differentiate pronouns used in different parts of the sentence, except by where they are placed in the sentence.

Example. English differentiate he, him, his. In Fairy it'll be just tsod for all three, but where tsod is placed will determine wheither it is he, him, his, she, her, it, or one.

Conjunctions

1. and                                         li
2. or                                           we
3. if                                            de
4. because (the reason being)      nithyaz osh fe 

For example, the description 'wide and thick' would be zan li dan.

Articles

Next, I need words to either specify or generalize nouns. We do that using the words the which indicate a specific noun and the words a/an which indicate a general noun

I want these words to be one syllable since they will be spoken very often.
I just pick o and sh, z just because I look over the list and see that I haven't used them very frequently

1. the         osh
2. a/an       oz

Quantifiers

Next, I want to make words that indicate general quantities. I chose the word fe to indicate the existence of some unknown quantity. I then reuse the Normal (na), comparative (nga), and superlatives (ma) root syllables to indicate the degree or amount of the quantity.

1. not, no                     tha
2. some, any, exists         fe
3. nothing, none, disappear, gone  fetha
4. few, several                   fena
5. many, much, a lot         fenga
6. all, every                       fema

Prepositions

Now, I'd like to add words that indicate location. I decide to use the leter n to construct most of the basic prepositions mixing in my four vowels. The second level of prepositions I use l to extend the words. I try to connect these second level prepositions to similar meaning one syllable n words.

I also look back to my nouns and adjectives for possible root word indicators such as shoni and wani have a relationship with smoke waly and ashes shomi. I remember thinking about smoke preceeds fire and ashes come after fire. So maybe wa means before and ni means at, by, beside (now). Likewise sho means after and ni means at, by, beside (time).

1. at, by, beside    ni
2. in              no
3. with, yet      ne
4. on, to, upon, on   na
5. up to, to              nili
6. above, over         nali
7. under, below       yolo
8. before, first         wani
9. after, following, later  shoni
10. from, out of         vaj
11. of                       wo
12. between, among, amid, in the midst   neni

Questions

Finally, I want some question words. I begin with the word what. The other words will contain that root word. After I know what, then the other words are created logically.

For example, who is what doer. Where is what location. When is what time period. How is what manner or way. How many is what number of existence.

For what, I pick the create the word ara, which I like how it sounds.

1. who           ara-oni
2. what          ara
3. where         ara-na
4. when         ara-neni
5. how         ara-danya
6. how much, how many   ara-fe
7. doer      oni
8. way, method, approach, manner     danya   

Just to contrast with English, lets make a general rule that these words go after the words that they modify. Instead of saying 'the sun', fairies will say 'sun the' yandi osh. So 'the big sun' is nalang yandi osh. And the question word would go after the 'the'. 'Where is the big sun?' is nalang yandi osh fe ara-na. I used the word fe for 'is' since I mentioned that few means existence or some similar to the verb 'to be'. 'Where's the dog?' is vava osh fe ara-na whereas 'where's a dog' is vava oz fe ara-na.
