How hard is YN language?

by **Cavila** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 6:42 pm

Being a Romance language based strongly off of Latin, Cavilan is an inflicted language, with seven cases (all of the Latin cases plus an instrumental case) and four noun declensions (one of animate nouns, one of inanimate real nouns, one for abstract nouns, and one for compound and collective nouns.) In addition, nouns are also divided into divisions depending on when they come in the sentence with complex rules on how these divisions are used (Cavilan does not use a single word syntax). In addition, verbs change depending on there tense, and the amount of tense depends on the verb (there are patterns). Adjectives are also declined and, shockingly, do not always have to agree with the noun (the logistics of how this works is very complicated.) In short, Cavilan is regarded as being hard. Most people stumble when they encounter the v, which can sound like a w, u, or y depending on context.

About as hard as learning English.

Because it is English.

REALLY HARD

by **The Great Devourer of All** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 6:56 pm

We have no official language.

Ehh. Spanish easy peasy
Latin, BETTER LEARN THE REST OR THIS WILL BE Rocket Science for you.

Considering Roelandian is a language mainly consisting of Romance inspired words but with a Germanic like syntax it's unusual to say the least. So probably quite hard.

Learning Bantu or Arabic languages are a matter of understanding the culture and tradition of those who speak it. For those who are fluent in Latin-derived languages (English, French, Spanish, etc), for instance, they would have to be able to adjust to maintaining accurate pronunciation on many words, as pronunciation in Arabic and Bantu dialects matter very much.

Passan is a janky dialect of english, so not that hard.

by **Engleberg** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 7:23 pm

It's German; so easy.

by **Hansdeltania** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 7:25 pm

We speak English and Russian as our official languages.

Both are pretty damn hard.

by **Democratic East-Asia** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 7:25 pm

We have individual languages in our republics.

On the other hand, some sort of universal Asian language is being made. This can only end well.

by **Greater Aterria** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 7:26 pm

It's English. Aterrian English, but that really doesn't matter. It's as hard as English.

"Jovian is a difficult language. There are a lot of grammar changes. But, the writing system is the same."

by **Grand Tutonia** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 7:48 pm

Tutonish is regarded as one of the most difficult languages to learn because of its highly irregular case system, rift between spelling and pronunciation (for example, sounds are often pronounced even when there is no letter to indicate the sound), and elaborate courtesy system.

Very dificult, especially when writing. Every word s written the same and it requires heavily on body language.

by **Astrolinium** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 8:30 pm

Depends on your background. Aelian is a Romance language, related reasonably closely to Italian, with a slightly simpler grammar.

by **None** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 8:33 pm

Our official language is binary code.
This is very easy for sapient computers to learn, and extremely hard, if not impossible, for humans to learn.

by **Dagnia** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:13 pm

Extremely difficult at first because we have a number of sounds that previously were only found in Arabic and one sound totally unique to Dagnian. Dagnian writing is based mostly on Tifinagh (the Berber alphabet) which may take time to master, but is certainly not nearly as difficult as Chinese or Ancient Egyptian. It gets ridiculously easy though if you progress through it and gain an understanding of some basic concepts. Dagnian borrows the Japanese and Korean concept of grammatical particles in the place of prepositions as well as to tell whether a noun in the sentence is a subject, direct or indirect object or a possessive.

One concept that may be tough for some people to grasp, but will make vocabulary building and discerning the meaning of an unfamiliar word much easier is the trilateral root system, also borrowed from Semitic languages, and it's more regular. For example, if you have never encountered the word "musana3" before and the context is unclear. You know that anything with the prefix "mu-" means "place of", like "muktab", whose root is "katab" means "place of writing" since "katab" mean "to write. You may have at some point encountered another word with "sana3" in it and would quickly get that since it has to do with manufacturing, "sana3" means factory. The roots are always a verb and the various forms can be other verbs or they can be people, places, things or descriptions having to do with the verb. Every verb has 50 possible forms. Once this concept is grasped, your vocabulary will increase rapidly.

Alkovansk is a mix of various Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages, with a dash of Polynesian, simmered over hundreds of years in isolation. The irregular grammar alone is a nightmare, let alone the peculiar alphabet. It's best to just stick to English.

by **Novorossitov** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:40 pm

It's difficult but not that difficult, and speaking it makes up for the arduous task of learning it. Our language is Russian, the Novorossitovian dialect.

by **Gandoor** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:48 pm

Well our official languages are English, Japanese, and Russian.

So they're as hard as those languages.

by **Togeria** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:01 pm

The Togerian language is officially a Romance language making the use of inflections quite common. It has also been influenced greatly by other Germanic Languages such as German and English and has adopted the vocabulary greatly.

by **Maichuko** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:46 pm

Our Language is somewhat difficult for foreigners to learn since it has numerous dialects and words only found in certain places. It has incorporated words from Chinese,German,Persian,Hindi and English.

The Written language has 36 letters and is written left to right.

by **Andulia** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 11:02 pm

Andulian used to be a relatively complicated language, coming from the same family as Russian, but the Andulian Communist Party's Bureau of Linguistics has taken steps to streamline several of its trickier aspects.

by **Das Blutroten Lande** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 11:05 pm

Though it is arguably complex, it is German, and therefore is on the middle tiers of complexity in comparison to other languages out there.
