National Languages

Postby The Whaltrean District » Sat Jan 12, 2013 1:42 pm

In the Federation if the Whaltrean District, there are two national langues, Whaltrean and Whaltrean-English.
So... I'd like to know what the national languages of your nation are, and also maybe a sentence with a translation and a pronounciation?
For example...
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

-WHALTREAN-
Hin Vvantichi bruNne Fox fozenzin Uuber hin ansn Dog.

(http://www.infoplease.com/pronkey.html use this for the pronounciation keys)

(hin v-Vant-EchE b-rOOnew fots fOzh-enzin OObur hin ahn-sin Dok)
~With double letters in the actual spelling bounce the letter after the second letter. Example; Vvantichi, bounce the "a" by raising your voice JUST for that letter.

-WHALTREAN-ENGLISH-
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Fe kooik braun fox jumps oba fe lazj dog.
(FE kOO-ik B-oun fots yumps OOba fE lah-tsee dok)

Our only national language is called Leetspeak, or Noobish in our nation. It is bascially English, with the same pronounciations, but with ASCII characters (e.g. !, @, $), worse grammar, and some shortened words that are commonly seen in texting (e.g. you is "u").

For example:
U iz aws0m!!!
(You is awesome!!!)

i K@nt b3liev wut Iem h3er3en
(I can't believe what I'm hearing)

W3 pr0z pwn uu hax0rz!!! St3p d40n n@w!!!
(We pros pwn you hackers! Step down now!)

Some words can have lots of variations. Take cat as an example (capitalization counts as variations in Noob Colony):
cat
c@t
ca7
c@7
Cat
C@t
Ca7
C@7
kat
k@t
ka7
k@7
Kat
K@t
Ka7
K@7

Polish, Lithuanian, and Spanish are considered the primary languages, with a preference to the Castillian dialect. German is a regional favorite and is regarded as a De Facto official language for those regions. Other languages are heard, but actively discouraged to allow for easier economics.

The national language of Se Nıl ce Λūba is Iāþı (OoC: a conlang created by yours truly), but the province of Ksenter has a recognized language called Dylje (OoC: also a conlang by myself).

Examples of Iāþı:
Ʒān tsıjevehelsə se γonau ce ē δyūnaπî. -- "He had discovered the lure of the streets."
Ān jeψêλūlsə psa zē myōn ānă sēvô se mô tenyaφə. -- "I asked my parents what the moon means."
Zē boλ þels φīs ān jepyêsə jeva γetejuþə xrajûtə tô zē myōn δānă. -- "All the children I knew were sometimes beaten by their parents."

Uelvanian

It's a language which has declensions based on social class, where a person of a lower social class naturally speaks more submissive than a person higher up. It was a language invented by the Uelvanian Republic, before shit went to hell, which was forced on the population over a long period of time.

English: Hello, how are you?

Low Uelvanian (submissive class): Salun etna po ceenaqaevas?

High Uelvanian (dominant class): Salvak etanu qaeves?

In Nezokatu, there are three national languages: Nezokian, Dreythik, and Mammalian (OoC: All conlangs created by me).

Original Text: Can I have another slice of cake? It's delicious.

Nezokian: Khän dyth edha unóta zlökri du xeyk brinoyt? Kyth sikha prokno payv vey mapfa.
Pronunciation: khan dEth u'ðä OOnO'tä zloo'kri dOO shAk brinoit kEth si'khä prO'knO pIv vA mä'pfä
Literally: Can I eat another slice of desert bread? It is pleasant for the mouth.

Dreythik: ¿Kara zhe yehakai baþota shokori yi pasato? To korhotai ðorotæ.
Pronunciation: kärä zhe yehäkI bäthOtä shOkOrE yE päsäto tO kOrOtI ðOrOtA (Note: "rh," like in "korhotai," is rolled like in Spanish)
Literally: Can I have another piece of pastry? It is delicious.

Mammalian: Nec ay ve redona sayls fe quec? Te se sechiled.
Pronunciation: nAk I vA rAdOnä sIls fA kAk tA sA sAchElAd
Literally: Can I have another slice of cake? It is delicious

(OoC: I think I got the pronunciation key right, but sorry if it's wrong.)

Italian is the official language and is used by the media and most citizens. Sicilian is a protected language and has it's own alternative media sources and is used by the farmer class. Latin and Greek are taught in school.

There are also two main languages in Xoroa, Atlantean, and Nordantean. Atlantean is spoken by as a first language by 70% of Xoroa, and their only language by 45% of the population. Nordantean is spoken by 25% as a first language, and 8% as their only language. Most who speak Nordantean are Bilingual or know a decent amount of Atlantean, the language being very similar.

Atlantean

Atlantean is a language very similar to Greek, with the use of Latin letters.

"I have planted a tall tree"

"Zaracho feytfehjah ena psilo entra-huat" (In Phonetic English)

Nordantean

Nordantean is similar to Atlantean, but without the Arabian influence of Atlantean. It has a more Scandinavian influence, due to large numbers of Vikings stumbling upon the region.

"I have planted a tall tree"

"Jecho fytefthar eta pslotit dentrae"



There's also a language spoken by small populations of people living in the 'mountain forest', with little connection to the outside world. their language is known as Verdantean, but is not exactly an official language despite being understood by 5% of the population, and spoken by 0.5% of the population as their only language. The language is very complicated and for the most part untranslatable, much of the language is actually 'sung' like a bird calling.

There has been talk within the Royal Dictator's small group of advisors on whether or not the third national language; Octagnon should be officially recognised.

-The language's alphabet is very similar to Arabic, but I will be using the Latin alphabet-

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

The official language of Waspeaters has been Waspeaterian English since 1934. Before that we didn't have an official language. Waspeaterian English is supposedly a different language, but there are only minor differences in spelling between it and other forms of English.
