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
  • -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
  • ãpretã = not finished, open (of a shop)
  • týna = every
  • týs = all
  • nókos = dark
  • lēa, állē = near, at, by, close to
  • állēos = road, street, avenue
