Classical Ylonian (Ýlonos) is a Ylid language that was spoken in the classical Ylonian confederacy as a lingua franca.
Real World Background
Ylonian is based off of Esperanto and thus might be considered an Esperantido in a loose sense. It takes features of Esperanto that in a traditional grammatical analysis might be taken to be more "ancient" and haphazardly extrapolates those features to make a classical hellenaesthetic looking language that isn't totally Indo-European.
Grammar
- -s = terminative, shows the end of a phrase, verbal or nominative.
- -o = plain nominative ending
- -ā = locative (used for adverbs too)
- -n = oblique ("marked") case (used to form adjectives, genitives, nominalise etc)
- -i = stative and gerundative
- -a, o, etc
Vocabulary
- ýlos = person
- kíos / áthios = man
- níos / ánios = woman
- meia phóla hélanon stāllos kiéllā/spírā kes > mia fola hélano stēllo spírēke my green shining star is in heaven
- kontis = to speak
- preos = end
- pretã = finished, ready
