Pulcheranto is the lingua franca of Zul's North America. The idea and aesthetic are inspired by Esperanto, and the vocabulary is Pulchric, deriving mostly from Gussnish.
Phonology
The Pulcheranto sound system is very similar to the Esperanto one, with three additional sounds: th /θ/, dh /ð/ and ng /ŋ/. The Gussnish vowels /ə/ and /ɨ/ are absent in Pulcheranto.
Fundamento Pulcheranto
- The indefinite singular has no suffix; the indefinite plural is -mi; the definite singular is -ne; and the definite plural is -nu.
- Substantives are formed by adding a to the root. There are two cases: the nominative and the oblique (genitive). The root with the added a (and possibly ne, mi or nu) is the nominative, the genitive adds an r. Other cases are formed by prepositions, which are always followed by the genitive; e.g. efnidh- (father) → efnidha (father), efnidhane (the father), ru efnidhaner (with the father), ru efnidhanur (with the fathers).
- Adjectives are formed by adding -e to the root. Adjectives don't inflect for number or case. The comparative is formed by suffixing hir (more); the superlative by hirne (most). The word "than" is rendered by fons.
