New words for "world" for Aioskoru elvish, orcish, and fairy languages

New words for "world" for Aioskoru elvish, orcish, and fairy languages by Ken Wickham © 2020 All rights reserved.

It's been a while since I posted any language words.

I feel like doing a set for the English word "world" for the 3 current languages:

By world means a planet with specifically all of its people, species, cultures, and natural features. World refers to life probably more important than the physical features. A world is a collection of life. A lifeless planet is not a world, as used by these three words. There must be social and behavioral relationships among life forces for the planet to use these three words.

alvan a kashi [Aioskoru Elvish language] - daonglagi (will be part of 1.06)
emojey-on laaf [Aioskoru Fairy language] - jiaf (will be part of 1.08)
ulka u kukha [Aioskoru Orcish language] - kuavkruka (will be part of 1.01)

I've entered the word in each of the next version documents.

So, when the elves of southern Aioskoru speak of the world, they call it daonglagi. Aioskoru is a daonglagi.

Fairies speak of Aioskoru as a jiaf.

Orcs of Aioskoru speak of it as a kauvkruka.

Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 8: Parts of speech - verbs (Part 3)

To do this, I have my list of Fairy sounds, my organized 55 basic swadesh verbs, and already created and organized into related Fairy nouns. Also unseen, I have a spreadsheet with my existing words open put into alphabetical order so that I can make sure I haven't already used the word that I will create.

Most of my focus goes into making the first syllable of each word. I pick an initial sound, check my current word list so that I'm aware of other words that might be similar. Once I have the first syllable, either vowel-consonant or consonant-vowel, the rest of the word is made just by looking at my sounds.

I then say the word with the other noun words to make sure they are somewhat in harmony.

I'll do the second 27 verbs in this post. I made the first 28 verbs in the last post.

Total Words in Fairy Language

To the 167 words that we made in the two prior posts, we have now added 27 important words, which brings our total Fairy words to 194 important basic Fairy words.

The next post I'll consider verb tense: past, present, future.

Total Words in Fairy Language

To the 139 words that we made in the two prior posts, we have now added 28 important words, which brings our total Fairy words to 167 important basic Fairy words.

The next post I need to add the 2nd half of the verbs.

Where next? Looking back to where I've been.

With that fun project 5e x 5 wrapping up, except for some maintenance and Future & Modern expansion, it'll be back to my projects.

A. I will be continuing my Fairy constructed language, which is helping me to continue with the other languages as well.

B. I might continue to make JAGS western stuff.

Creating a fantasy language

Several popular fantasy languages exist in different fiction worlds.

Tolkien's Quenya, Valarin, Dwarven, Elfin, Black Speech, Mannish, Adunaic and several scripts are widely known as structures that underlay the very foundation of his Middle Earth writings.

The structures lead to a naming system that remains somewhat consistent throughout the series.

For Aioskoru, I wanted to use less known and more ancient languages as a basis.

For humans, I had heard of Proto-Indo European is the theoretical language spoken at the latest before 3500 BC. Older than than many languages. It is the common ancestor of Latin, Greek, Celtic, Germanic, Indo-Iranian, Armanian, Balto-Slavic, Anatolian, and Albanian with generally accepted confidence. I would find what I could about known words and then add my own vocabulary, based on the same families of languages. I would simplify my own grammar if the real grammar seemed too complex. In a nutshell, I would take what I could, and create what I needed.

For elves, I saw that Proto-Austronesian would be interesting. I know Filipino rather well, and so I could fill in the holes with my existing knowledge of one of the important Austronesian languages. It is a related cousin of Malaysian, Polynesian, and Oceanic languages.

For Orc and Goblin, I decided to corrupt the human into goblin and elf into orc languages.

In the future, I have plans of making the dwarf languages out of ancient Middle East language.

Added the Creatures & Monsters page references to the Aioskoru Monster's list.

Aioskoru Monsters

Today, the last of the select references for Aioskoru monsters was added from Creature's and Monsters. I might have to double check some of the other systems, because as I was looking up newer systems I had decided to add more monsters which for one reason or another weren't listed.

https://sites.google.com/site/aioskoru/aioskoru-world-guide/aioskoru-monsters

Also, I decided to put them in order by RM and/or HARP first available levels rather than alphabetically or by type. If a monster is available at different levels, it will be found under it's first level. This should make finding appropriate level monsters easier, making the list a bit more functional.

Languages for Human, Elf, Goblin, and Orc species/races

I've finished Orc and Elf, basic grammar for verb, noun, and pronoun conjugations along with various articles, prefixes, suffixes, and markers.

I may change the grammar or the vocabulary but here is the first ever Aioskoru full orc sentence attempt which I will make right now.

Kavinuov vavk nukadok dhui da nusimar kukiav ka ko akuvk linut vaau. Literally: Ate the small human the fat pig at/in a single house of his. Orc: The small human ate the fat pig at his house.
 To say it, 'a' as in father, 'i' as in the 'ie' in grieve, 'u' as in dude, 'o' as in go. Consonants are as in English regular pronunciations.
