Trây (Trây hadlưthcô) is a minor Txapoallian language. It's inspired by Slavic languages and Vietnamese.

Gibberish

Châdmađưth yôkhzhêm txel vrâte exphrova ôngâstô adliv sringanhu.

Found in my old Bolon article: Hơ! Hee! Nu ẞíwesơn zôviêz nhey Yươstúlɟeng ʼơư Winthúnưtzeh mangchưanưmaß!

Vowels

Grammar

OSV, head-final, head-marking, polysynthetic

The grammar should confuse both Slavic and Vietnamese speakers

Nouns

Plural: x-/i-

Possessive affixes:

  • txe- = 1sg
  • bo- = 2sg
  • hâ- = 3sg
  • di- = 1pl
  • la- = 2pl
  • hay- = 3pl

Adpositions

Trây has no true cases or adpositions (more basic semantic relations such as dative are expressed by applicatives). There are relational nouns (often with irregular inflection) that function similarly to adpositions.

comitative: txed, bod, had, divê, lavê, hevê

Verbs

Bipersonal affixes are portmanteau affixes
