== History == | |||
=== Old Jeïos === | |||
Old-Jeïos was used in middle 2013 to early 2014 (It was made in late 2012 but done in mid 2013). It exsisted only as a paper-language (meaning it used its own set of characters). | |||
Nouns were written all lowercased, like in English | |||
All documents about it have been lost. | |||
=== Middleold-Jeïos === | |||
Middleold-Jeïos was used from the beginning until about the middle of 2014. All documents were deleted (including the alphabet) and a fresh start was mde. The new language did not use its own alphabet. It relied on the Latin alphabet (so it could be used on the computer as well). It was almost identical to Old-Jeïos, expect its alphabet and that the nouns were written uppercased from now on. Here is one of the only few sentences surviving: | |||
I hæ sægt þatt dü bën ēne Daibl (Middleold-Jeïos) | |||
=== Recent-Jeïos === | |||
Recent-Jeïos was used from about August 2014 to November. And again, as before, all documents from the old version were destroyed. It was a more modern version. No genders etc, and it was generally much easier to learn than the other versions. But it was still it not very natural, because it didn't have any irregularities. | |||
=== Middlenew-Jeïos === | |||
But that changed with Middlenew-Jeïos. It was tried to make the language more natural by adding a lot of irregular verbs and plurals. It also uses its own alphabet (the Jeiscript) when writing by hand but also has Latin charaters when writing on the computer. A lot of words were changed as well. The nouns were also written lowercased again (like in Old-Jeïos). This language was used from November 2014 to the middle of Janurary 2015. | |||
=== New-Jeïos === | |||
Then the language underwent a few changes. The alphabet was renewed and a couple of words were changed to suit the language better. Also, the language now has three genders and delcensions. | |||
==== Nothern-New-Jeïos ==== | |||
Then, a dialect for the language was made. Its name includes Nothern, because it "comes from the north". Its pronunciation and words are very closely related to languages like Danish and Swedish. One "feature" is, that it destinguishes between a long ä (ä) and a short ä (â)... that happens with almost all umlauts. Here is a comparison between Nothern New, and New Jeïos:<br /> | |||
ag sêma "marvin" ûn ag sêma ânsês pépp âf ân lând ûn sën nām â deitschlând | |||
<br /> | |||
ég sēr "marvin" ôn ég sēr ēnsë pépp vôn ēn land ôn sën nāmë îs Þyskland | |||
<br /> | |||
It also has a few letters that the Jeïos language doesn't use, for example the 'ĝ'. The Alphabet | |||
=== Jeïos === | |||
The language stayed like that for quite some time. But at the end of March 2015, the language evolved. Cases were added, new genders and different rules for writing. | |||
There were also many new letters added to the alphabet and many of words have changed too. A lot of the words / rules from Nothern-New-Jeïos were included too | |||
