Nice OP.

by **Gothmogs** » Thu May 30, 2013 2:04 pm

Empty, yet simple and easy starting post. Well done.

I suggest we get the language up on the first page so it is easy to find.

Additionally does anyone know where to find the most recently updated version of our history?

Nice OP.

I know. I'm not really good at making threads, and I intend to turn it into a table of contents once there are enough submissions.

We speak English, right?

I'm planning on turning the OP into a table of contents, so it's not really necessary to be on the front page.

I think it's kind of like Ireland- most people speak English, but a small portion of the population speaks the native language.

From what I seen, Aurentinia likes Heraldic Logos and Animals.

~~Well fucking done.~~
Apologies, I was angry, re-read my post, and discovered I didn't explain enough. There are three volumes to the phrasebook, which I need to post together.

by **Fulflood** » Thu May 30, 2013 2:15 pm

PLEASE STOP POSTING SO I CAN GET ALL THREE PHRASEBOOK VOLUMES TOGETHER. THANK YOU.

The Aurentine Phrasebook
De Aurentinsë Wertbuk
Third Edition - Verskuch Tree

VOLUME ONE: ENGLISH-AURENTINE

J. Fulflood, N. Kaarenhaas, H. Johannson, L. Canton, J. Geil, M. Blumenthal, M. Kelly, R. von Glasgia & others
Your definitive guide to the language

The Aurentine Phrasebook is an ongoing attempt to classify and codify the developing vocabulary and grammar of Aurentine, in order to help facilitate easier use of the language. It is compiled by Senators James Fulflood (vocabulary) and Nikläs Kaarenhaas, aka Hippostania (grammar), with the aid of additional contributing authors, including large parts of the vocabulary transliterated by Hippostania.

This third edition is much revised following contributions from Hippostania and others. It is now split into three volumes, one for English-Aurentine, one for Aurentine-English and one for Grammar. Additional contributions from anyone are still useful, in order to aid our process to catalogue Aurentine.

Contributors: Nikläs Kaarenhaas, James Fulflood, Hans Johansson, Michael Blumenthal, Lucas Canton, John Geil, Robert von Glasgia, Michael Kelly, Joseph Kourie, Kamchastkia.
Further contributions (of vocabulary and grammar) from anyone are always welcome.

The History of the Island of Aurentina

By Micheal Kallinos and Robert Glasgia

Chapter 1: From Athens and Rome to Aurentina and Constantinople

The island we know as Aurentina has a long history, subject to conflict and peace, prosperity and recession.

In the Mediterranean, over two thousand years ago, Greek sailors stumbled across the island, sparcely inhabited by only a single semi-nomadic tribe likely of Gallic origins. Quick to notice its potential for vine farming and strategic positioning, many began to immigrate to the island. At the heart of the colony was the city Aurentinos Thalassios.

Aurentinous soon came into a large income due to trading and the island’s other trading posts began to expand into cities. Co-operation with similar colonies in Nikeas and Sikelia meant that by 197 BC, a hundred years since the first settlers, the island gained enough status to declare independence from its now Macedonian leaders, who had been weakened substantially by the Second Macedon war.

Independence was short lived. Though the Dimokratía tis Aurentinous prospered economically during its time, the growing power of the Roman Republic soon threatened independence. From 169 BC to 171 BC, the Roman navy successfully blockaded Aurentinos Thalassios and crippled trade without a declaration of war. Eventually the government caved in and the island became the Province of Aurentina in the Republic.

Throughout the history of the Roman Republic and Empire, Aurentina did not see many major changes. An influx of Roman settlers supplemented the Greeks and trade continued to grow. However, the fall of the Western Roman Empire put Aurentina at risk once again. A Greco-Roman officer, Legate Trepinus, fled from Rome after Alaric’s sacking of Rome in 409 AD. He reinforced the island with his legion before declaring independence from the failing empire. Emperor Honorius was not strong enough to retake the island and, having promoted himself, Supreme General Trepinus created the Kingdom of Aurentina.

King Trepinus successfully established a royal court amongst the Roman and Greek nobles. With news of a declining Rome, few held loyal to the empire and little resistance was created. By doing this, Trepinus had made a significant cultural change on Aurentina. For centuries, there had been a political divide between the Greek and Roman nobility, fuelled by claims over superiority on the island by both. By forcing them to unite as equals, Trepinus allowed both cultures to merge considerably into a native Aurentian culture.

Other than this, the Kingdom was largely a warring state. In 498 AD, the Byzantine Empire began an invasion from the south of the island. They took Notispiti with a professional army of two infantry legions and four auxiliary cohorts: three ranged and one cavalry. An attempt to blockade what was by then known as Aurentina Marrittima, the capital that was once known as Aurentinous Thessalios, failed due to a storm sinking the Byzantine fleet. The failure of the blockade also stranded the Byzantine army. Out of supplies, they were forced to make a march to the capital. A tactical victory at Vulcano turned into a strategic hit on the Byzantines as, despite forcing a retreat from the Aurentians, the exhausted army was routed by the Royal Legion the next day. The next month resulted in the Byzantines being chased to the last man and forced to surrender arms with just half the original force remaining to be sent back to Constantinople.

With the next generation came another fight against the Eastern Roman Empire. As the Byzantines declared war on the Ostrogothic Kingdom in 535, King Alexander of Aurentina decided to firmly place himself with the Goths rather than support the Empire which his grandfather had resisted. The Royal Legion was sent to invade Corsica, even as the Byzantines closed on Rome. An earlier invasion would have risked the Byzantine fleet, since tied down in the Adriatic, but the invasion landed safely. Taking the island quickly, the only major battle was the siege of Porto Cardo which defeated Corsica’s Byzantine garrison. The main resistance however came from the local people, constantly conducting raids and sabotaging Aurentian camps. After occupying the island for three months, the Aurentians received payment from Constantinople to accept peace and leave Corsica in exchange for war compensation. The Royal Legion promptly returned to Aurentina carrying over a thousand solidi.

The Byzantine Empire had been humiliated by a small island nation not once but twice and the Aurentians continued to oppose them politically. After the capture and execution of two Byzantine merchants for thieving and avoiding tariffs, the Empire took the excuse to make a declaration of war in 612. At the time, the entire Aurentian army consisted of a heavy infantry Royal Legion and two light infantry People’s Legions, each with a cavalry cohort. Though this was of better quality than most, the comparison in size lead the threat of an all-out Byzantine invasion to be feared. King Justinian, a cousin of the last ruler and the first ruler not to be a direct descendant of Legate Trepinus, unsuccessfully negotiated with the Byzantines before learning of a navy on the east coast. Taking the city of Chersoniso with the immediate surrender of the garrison, a fifty thousand man force had landed to conquer. With pleas for help ignored by the Kingdom of the Lombards, the Kingdom of Aurentina was officially annexed on May 12th 612 after the storming of Justinian’s palace in Aurentina Marrittima by Byzantine soldiers. Four days later, Eastern Roman Emperor Heraklios was pronounced to be King of the Roman Kingdom of Aurentina.

The History of the Island of Aurentina

By Micheal Kallinos and Robert Glasgia

Chapter 2: A German Nation in a Latin Sea

And so the ancients had fallen. Even the once great Roman Empire had been carved up into states which held little power of their own. The exception in the east, of Byzantium, had abandoned the old ways and the Legionaries no longer marched to tremble the very ground. However, new powers would arise to the challenge.

One of such powers was the Kingdom of the Lombards. Having refused to help the Aurentians as Byzantine soldiers destroyed any independence, they now set sights upon the island as their own. In 663, forty one years after the conquest of Aurentinia, the Byzantine Empire once again pushed to retake the Western Roman Empire. Intent upon conquering Italy, Byzantine military force began to grow in the area. Attacking from Taranto, the Romans besieged Luceria and Benevento, to conquer the Lombard Duchy named after the latter town. The capital resisted, forcing Byzantine forces to retreat to Naples. On the journey, the army was defeated twice at Pugna and Forino.

Having beaten off invasion forces, King Grimoald ordered a counter-offensive. The Aurentians were subject to brutal massacres as Byzantine troops burned farms and murdered those of Germanic origin, leaving a desolate island. Known as the Torching of Aurentina, over a fifth of the population lost their lives in the killings and succeeding famine. The Lombardian occupation force quickly encountered supply issues, but Byzantine arming of local populations did not encourage insurgency as hatred led them towards the occupiers rather than their masters.

The torching of Aurentina turned back on centuries of co-operation with the Latin cultures. The population had previously thought of themselves as Greeks and Romans, a blend of the two becoming the “Aurentian” culture, but now they were ashamed to be Byzantine. As a peace was reached, returning Byzantine nobles were attacked by the local population. The insurgency created to fight Germanic forces turned on the Byzantines themselves.

As tensions grew, the rise of another independent Aurentina seemed imminent. The mass exodus of Germanic peoples in north Italy after the collapse of the Lombards brought new culture to Aurentina. By the end of the millennium, it was estimated over half the population were of Germanic origin as trade links were established with the Holy Roman Empire. It was also of that time that Aurentina collapsed.

For centuries, the island had been slowly recovering from the torching. Re-establishing trade links with the Franks to the north was vital for trade and the Byzantines slowly allowed the province more autonomy to quell local militancy. However, as wealth rose, so did national pride. The insurgents had been slowly suppressed in the century following the island’s torching. However, the glorious fight against the Byzantine oppressors had been passed down in tale and, at their nation’s call, many would rise up. The resurgent power of the empire in the east made the Franks question their own power. An ally located adjacent to the Roman heartlands in Italy would increase their influence in the region and possibly turn the tide in any war over the peninsula. After co-operating with locals to reach a compromise, Frankish troops met with local insurgents and took Aurentina Marrittima with no resistance on November 12th 1026.

A bold move by the new Salian dynasty left the Byzantines in shock. However, though relations between the empires declined sharply, no response came and the Kingdom of Aurentina was revived. Though is practice it was territory of the empire, the Franks were not brave enough to declare it so. They instead opted to create ruling Germanic nobility and heavily influenced the nation’s politics.

The status quo was accepted again and the nation slid back into peace and prosperity. The Franks barely intervened with exceptions of military and foreign policy, letting the nation prosper. Again, Aurentian culture began to shift and change. Though Greek remained widely spoken and written, a Greco-Germanic dialect was the common language. Aurentina’s wealth began to skyrocket with that of the Italian Republics. As the 13th century drew to a close and the Holy Roman Empire’s power declined, it seemed that their future lay there.

Grammar

Verbs

Here's how to conjugate a regular verb (indicative):

lëefen (to love)

Present

Ik lëefe - I love
Jü lëefe - You (singular) love
Ij lëefe - He loves
Ej lëefe - She loves
Wej lëefe - We love
Töw lëefe - You (plural) love
Wö lëefe - They love

Imperfect

Ik lëeft - I loved
Jü lëeft - You (singular) loved
Ij lëeft - He loved
Ej lëeft - She loved
Wej lëeft - We loved
Töw lëeft - You (plural) loved
Wö lëeft - They loved

Supine (can be used to form both perfect and pluperfect)

Ik hög lëefde - I have loved
Jü hög lëefde - You (singular) have loved
Ij hög lëefde - He has loved
Ej hög lëefde - She has loved
Wej hög lëefde - We have loved
Töw hög lëefde - You (plural) have loved
Wö hög lëefde - They have loved

Ik höüd lëefde - I had loved
Jü höüd lëefde - You (singular) had loved
Ij höüd lëefde - He had loved
Ej höüd lëefde - She had loved
Wej höüd lëefde - We had loved
Töw höüd lëefde - You (plural) had loved
Wö höüd lëefde - They had loved

Future

Ik lëeferä - I will love
Jü lëeferä - You (singular) will love
Ij lëeferä - He will love
Ej lëeferä - She will love
Wej lëeferä - We will love
Töw lëeferä - You (plural) will love
Wö lëefera - They will love

To form a negative word, add "nëttä" between the subjective and the predicate. For example, "Ik nëttä lëefe" means "I don't love". "Wö nëttä höüd lëefde" means "They had not loved"

It's time to focus on two other grammatical moods of Aurentine. We've already gone through indicative, and now it's time for conditional mood.

Unlike the indicative, conditional only contains present and perfect forms. It is formed by removing the "-en" of the infinitive and replacing it with "-it" in present and "-ittë" in perfect. In perfect, imperfect form of the verb "hööden", in this case "hög", is added as well. As always, negative version is formed by placing "nëttä" between subjective and predicative. For example, "I would not love" would be "Ik nëttä lëefit"

Present

Ik lëefit - I would love
Jü lëefit - You (singular) would love
Ij lëefit - He would love
Ej lëefit - She would love
Wej lëefit - We would love
Töw lëefit - You (plural) would love
Wö lëefit - They would love

Perfect

Ik hög lëefittë - I would have loved
Jü hög lëefittë - You (singular) would have loved
Ij hög lëefittë - He would have loved
Ej hög lëefittë - She would have loved
Wej hög lëefittë - We would have loved
Töw hög lëefittë - You (plural) would have loved
Wö hög lëefittë - They would have loved

Today in "Aurentine for Dummies", we're uncovering the secrets of participles! We're continuing our grammar studies with good old verb "lëefen", or "to love". There are two participles in Aurentine language, present and perfect. The former "-derä" and "-at" endings that I put on the road signs are no longer valid.

Present participle
Present participle is formed by removing the "-en" from the verb infinitive and replacing it with "-ände". For example..

lëefen - to love | leefände - loving (Ij sent ün leefänd persöön | He is a loving person)
schretten - to laugh | schrettände - laughing (Ik serrt ün schrettände künde | I saw a laughing child)

Perfect participle
Perfect participle is formed by removing the "-en" from the verb infinitive and replacing it with "-ät". For example..

lëefen - to love | leefät - loved (Ij sent leefät bär münge | He is loved by many)
önveüden - to use | önveüdät - used (Ij hög köuppde ün önveüdät kaar | He has bought a used car)

Irregular Verbs
have and be

There are two irregular verbs in Aurentine: senten (to be) and hööden (to have). Their forms are below:

senten - to be
PRESENT
Ik/jü/ij/ej/zet/wej/töw/wö sent
I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they am/are/is
IMPERFECT
Ik/jü/ij/ej/zet/wej/töw/wö sëente
I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they was being/were being (you could also use this for was/were)
PERFECT
Ik/jü/ij/ej/zet/wej/töw/wö hög sëende
I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they was/were/have been
PLUPERFECT
Ik/jü/ij/ej/zet/wej/töw/wö höüd sëende
I/you/he/she/it/we/they had been
FUTURE
Ik/jü/ij/ej/zet/wej/töw/wö senterä
I/you/he/she/it/we/they will be

Here's hööden - to have, which is irregular too. This is the only other modern irregular verb in any tense.

Archaic Verbs

Also, there is an 'archaic' set of conjugations found in historical Aurentine literature:

Nouns and Plurals

Plurals

The plural of the word is formed by putting -en (if the word ends in a consonant), -n (if the word ends in E) or -ren (if the word ends in vowel other than E, very rare) at the end of the word. Most infinitives of verbs also end in -en as well.
Here are some examples:
veel (meadow) - veelen (meadows)
mölle (mill) - möllen (mills)

Possessives

To form a possessive, as in 'John's dog', -e is added to the end of the owner, and -on is added to the end of the possessed word, changing to -an if the possessor is feminine. If the owner already ends in a vowel, add -s. If the possessed word ends in a vowel, remove it and add -on or -an as above. For example:
the man's apple de mäne abbelon
my mother's motorbike mejn müttere mootorsyklan
the island's coast de öles kooston

Locational suffixes

To modify a place to state that a person or object comes or originates from that place (like -ish in English), the suffix -së is used. This turns it into an adverb, like British or German. Should the place name end in one or more vowels, or the ending -en, this part is removed before the -së ending is put on. For example:
Brittane (Britain) - Brittansë (British)
Brittansë fölke sente grënd (British people are excellent)

Sometimes, however, the adjectival form is irregular. This occurs in the cases of Duitchland-Duitch and Engeland-Engelsë:
Duitchland (Germany) - Duitch (German (adj.))
Duitch fölke trëelböte swär (German people work hard)

To make a noun to describe a person as from or associated with a place or object (for example a German, a Briton, an Australian), the suffix -ëer is used. Should the noun in question end in one or more vowels, the ending -land not followed by -en, or the ending -en, this part is removed before the -ëer ending is put on. For example:
Senët (senate) - Senëtëer (Senator)
Mejn Senëtëer sent grënd (My Senator is excellent)

These can be pluralised like normal words:
Senëtëer (senator) - Senëtëeren (Senators)

Sometimes, however, the resulting form is irregular. This occurs in the cases of Duitchland-Duitch, Frankland-Frank and Engeland-Engelëer:
Duitchland (Germany) - Duitch (German (n.))
Duitchen trëelböte swär (Germans work hard)
