@Car, Nice factbook, I called you car since I forgot your whole name....

Just call me car or carta
And i have never actually thought of developing a new language...its a good idea

Well, uh, what do you want to translate into Latnyan? I think you should base it off: Latvian, French and English. Adding two different alphabets isn't easy, in fact, I don't think it's possible. Different alphabets don't mix, if you make a language it must be a European mix, Latvian is a Latin language, as is French and English. Latvian also have 11 extra characters using Diacritic marks, which are the accents, like this one: Ž.

So, which languages do you want? I'll help.

Thanks mate!, for some reason Latnya gets alot of things from Latvia.

But sure i'll go with your suggestion.

@Car, Nice factbook, I called you car since I forgot your whole name....

Probably because your name is Latnya, which is so closely related to Latvia.

Ok, here's a sample:

English:
This is the Latnyan language, it's pretty awe inspiring.

French:
C'est la langue Latnyan, c'est assez impressionnant.

Latvian:
Tas ir Latnyan valoda, tas ir diezgan bijību iedvesmojošs.

Latnyan:
C'eta lir valogue Latnus, c'eta lir dizasseg bīju iemvressiomojieš.

Something like that^ maybe? Just a quick example, taking little bits and letters and mixing them.

Yes, Yes I like it. Now what?

Well, tell me if there's anything you need translated and I'll do it. We already have the basic Latin alphabet, and the extra Latvian characters, so I think all we need to do now is translate. The thing with ConLangs, is that for it to be consistent you need to devise an alphabet and a whole big ass dictionary and conjunctives and conjugations and verbs, nouns, all that shit. Really, what I do is translate it to Spanish on one tab, Italian on another, and then mix and match; which is what I did with Latnyan, or Latnus.

Hmm, I think i'll make the alphabet and then when I need to use Latnus(?) Latnyan or whatever I'll just do what you do.

You've got a host of good languages in the region you can use. Really, you could use...Malay... Vietnamese... Thai... You could even use native ancient languages such as Khmer, Pali or Sanskrit..if you can find enough documentation on them. Several nations that both of us claim are heavily islamic, so you could, by all rights, use Arabic as well.

*Breaths deeply*

After six long hours of painful work,research and mild naps, I give you:
Latnya's 3.0 Factbook!

I will continue to work on it and update daily, but its open to discussion now.

[Bladia Imperia]

You guys want any videos done?

[Latnya]

You guys want any videos done?

Maybe a Latnian Military recruitment video...or a tourist video or even just a video with me in it.

[Siberian_Peoples]

Ok. Well, for the alphabet, you'd need this I guess:

a, ā, b, c, č, d, e, ē, f, g, ģ, h, i, ī, j, k, ķ, l, ļ, m, n, ņ, o, p, r, s, š, t, u, ū, v, z, ž
A, Ā, B, C, Č, D, E, Ē, F, G, Ģ, H, I, Ī, J, K, Ķ, L, Ļ, M, N, Ņ, O, P, R, S, Š, T, U, Ū, V, Z, Ž

Pronunciations:

A: Uh as in Up
Ā: Ah as in Car
B: Be
C: Ts as in Tsar
Č: Ch as in Chair
D: De
E: Ee
Ē: æ (AE)
F: Ef
G: Gee
Ģ: Je
H: H
I: I
Ī: Ea
J: Y, but pronounces aiy or j in some other languages, as in Yawn
K: K
Ķ: C
L: L
Ļ: Eyl (I think)
M: M
N: N
Ņ: As in Ny, like with ñ in Spanish
O: O
P: P
Q:
R: R
S: Es
Š: Sh
T: T
U: Oul or U
Ū: Ou
V: V
W: W
X: X
Y: Y
Z: Z
Ž: Sh/S/is as in Vision

There.

Impressive

[Siberian_Peoples]

Yeah, I saw that. I could tell because of the ranks, they're French. Now, anything you want translating?

[Cartavesqa]

but if you still want to do that military video i would recommend playing hell march in the backround

[Latnya]

No, you've done alot already.All I need help with is improvements for my Factbook and ideas for what I should put in those reserved spots.

@Car Thanks, I want to do a whole series of Latnian videos.

[Bladia Imperia]

but if you still want to do that military video i would recommend playing hell march in the backround

got me a link to a download that works?

Good job on the video! Some grammatical errors though...seems like a bunch of words were capitalized that shouldn't be, but not that big of deal.

About the flag; I can add some other effects to the stripe, put some other symbols on there, whatever you think would look good. Here's a smaller version for NS:
(Image)

Right now I am thinking of going with a flag like seychelles uses, but with my color and having the wolf centered in it or something like that.

My other thought is to use Kenya's flag and use my symbol again and my colors.



And my national language is latin, so it is very easy to translate everything.

[Bladia Imperia]

Latnya you got a song you want behind the recruitment video?

[Cartavesqa]

Latnya you got a song you want behind the recruitment video?

He said he likes hell march i think

[Latnya]

Latnya you got a song you want behind the recruitment video?

Yes, I rather like the "hell march".

[Crucesignatorum]

Latnya you got a song you want behind the recruitment video?

Yes, I rather like the "hell march".

Latnya, do you mind if I copy your factbook format? I need to redo mine and yours seems fairly straight forward.

[Latnya]

I have no problem with it, in fact I would be quite honoured good sir.

(Why am I talking like that?!)
