Paranukian (roko sa paranukia [ˈɾoko sa paɾanuˈki.a], "speech of the Paranukians") or Eörean or Eorean is a language spoken in the Paranukian Atoll by around 1,500,000 Paranukians (se paranukia). It is the official language of the State of Paranukia, where it is also the most spoken language.
Paranukian developed from Proto-Paranukian spoken around 10,000 years ago, brought to the islands by the Cameran people, settling in what is now Cape Camera. It was first standardised by Eöre, scribe of king Funaö III of the kingdom of Funaokia, hence its alternative name of "Eorean" or "Eörean" and its Linguifex code of "eore".
Grammar
Articles
Paranukian articles are inflected on number and case.
| indef | def | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sing | pl | sing | pl | |
| nom | e | he | te | se |
| acc | o | ho | to | ho/so |
| gen | a | ha | ta | sa |
| dat/inst | u | hu | tu | su/so |
Genitives with proper nouns as possessors can use both the indefinite or definite article, though with slight semantic differences. For example, if there are two people named John who possess a car each, this can be expressed as:
- kara ha John
- car indef.pl-gen John
- "[Some] Johns' cars"
However, if there are two people named John who collectively own one car, then the definite is used:
- kara sa John
- car def.pl-gen John
- "The Johns' car"
Other proper nouns have a codified number and definiteness, e.g.
- countries are always singular definite, as in Ta Firanasa ba huri na "My father is from France", or To Amerika ingihi "I am going to America".
