We are forming a creole language out of the languages of Europe with our own rules and conventions. This page is under construction as the language evolves and progresses; it is meant as English documentation of the language and is freely editable by all involved.
Note: All example that require verbs use the verb likar ("to like").
Agreed-upon features
- Nouns are pluralised with -s.
- Verbs only inflect for number and tense, although possibly also the imperative mood.
- Unless a modal verb is used, the pronoun is usually appended to the end of the verb, connected with a hyphen.
- The past tense is formed thus: "Ai havr likata".
- All adverbs should end in -mente.
- Words with the same meaning but different etymologies may be used together if hyphenated; generally only the last one is inflected.
Agreed-upon basic vocabulary
- Ab means "of", but is only used before a vowel; otherwise a' is appended before the following noun.
- Esr is the copula, although existar can be used in certain circumstances.
Pronouns
- Ai - 1st person singular
- Au - 2nd person singular
- Ilon - 3rd person singular
- Wi - 1st person plural
- Iw - 2nd person plural (vos is also used)
- Ilons - 3rd person plural
Disputed features
