''"An bhé chuc cún dhér dó gil me dí. Och tel lé gérul del ténan me dí, lú chí lú ba lú lé bhoc del lór me dí cór tol. En gar dí me gon."''-Lúdhí Fén Ógil Níradh. | |||
"We take from Iron it's rightful prize. And if we sail to the wide world's end, all know that we'll return from the depths a thousand times. Death cannot keep us."-Old Fén War Song. | "We take from Iron it's rightful prize. And if we sail to the wide world's end, all know that we'll return from the depths a thousand times.

This is my first attempt at a conlang, originally conceived as a part of a game that has finally taken off. It is the only language from the game that reached anything nearing completion. Inspiration and influence were drawn from Irish [Alphabet style and Head First Order], English [Lack of Genders, Conjugation Method] and some French [Particularly the G/W was taken from the Norman shift]. Also, the Copula, while originally inspired by Irish, mirror from Symbolic logic. However word roots and grammar are original. | This is my first attempt at a conlang, originally conceived as a part of a game that has finally taken off.

This being my first conlang, made a few months meaning, represent phonetic sounds [should it seem inconsistent], remove ambiguities and generally make a more natural sounding language on my next go around. However for now, here's my first serious effort; | This being my first conlang, made a few months before stumbling on this, my linguistic vocabulary may be lacking at certain points, however I've done my best and would be open to suggestions on how to either better clarify my meaning, represent phonetic sounds [should it seem inconsistent], remove ambiguities and generally make a more natural sounding language on my next go around. However for now, here's my first serious effort; | ||

The language was initially inspired by Irish Gaelic and so much of the terminology reflects that still, though it may no longer necessarily be accurate. Copula in this case serve as a sort of verbal punctuation, appearing at the start of the sentance, they make it positive or negative, a statement or interrogative and can serve to tie it to a second clause. Aspiration is used to modify sounds of consonants, similar in some ways to "long" and "short" vowels, while some consonants might be pronounced differently depending on what vowel they come before [similar to "c" in English]. | The language was initially inspired by Irish Gaelic and so much of the terminology reflects that still, though it may no longer necessarily be accurate.
