Mochadian was the first conlang I created. I actually created it long before I had any idea what a conlang was. I abandoned it for a couple years then decided to use it for a project I have created to "create" a galaxy at war.

Mochadian was the first conlang I created. After I originally created it, I abandoned it for a couple years and later decided to use it for a project I have created to simulate a galaxy at war.
==Background==
==Background==
The primary users of this language are the Mochadians, a previously warlike race that dominates nearly half the Mochadian galaxy  (Hence the name), but has since calmed down a bit... for now. Mochadians hold change and simplicity very deep in their morals, and that has caused the Mochadian language to go through many different stages during it's evolution. Ever since the galaxy started to expand, the need for a standardized Mochadian language was high, so it hasn't changed much since the Mochadians' expansion. Mochadian is basically the equivalent of esparanto or interlingua, but for the old Mochadian languages.

First off, let me point out there are only 22 letters, not more. Accents do not count separate letters, although they sound different. There is also an additional accent, 'ś', but it's use is a bit more complex. Note that with this character set, you can transliterate (Or very closely approximate) words of many languages.  
There are 28 phonemes written with 19 letters and 9 accentuated letters. Accentuated letters do not count as proper letters.

There are no rules governing how letters may be placed. Absolutely none. You could, for example, declare 'asdffdsa' a word (Though nobody would use it), but it would not be pronounceable. If you tried pronouncing it, (Depending on your region) you might actually say, 'asdfífédsa', which has absolutely no meaning whatsoever, but would be a different word. There are absolutely NO exceptions whatsoever, under ANY circumstance where letters are pronounced different than normal. Each letter has exactly ONE pronunciation.
The only rule is that you cannot double vowels. There are absolutely NO exceptions whatsoever, under ANY circumstance where letters are pronounced different than normal. Each letter has exactly ONE pronunciation.


==Grammar and Syntax==
==Grammar and Syntax==
Still nothing yet. Thinking.
Here are the rules I've set in stone:
#All nouns end with a consonant.
#Plural forms of nouns are attained by adding the suffix -a.
#All verbs end with a vowel.
#To indicate past tense, -n is used. The present tense is unmarked.
#For now, until I complete the grammar, the word order will follow English.
#Adjectives may come before or after nouns.

Still working on this, however I have a general idea that suffixes would be added to change word meanings, such as, for example, '-na' for negation.

The only words other than below that I've developed are 'Mokadeòn' (Of Mochadia) and 'Mokadeò' (Mochadia). I'm still thinking about everything else.
The only words other than below that I've developed are 'Mokadeòn' (Of Mochadia), 'Mokadeò' (Mochadia), 'ét' (And), 'és' (Is), 'én' (In) 'da' (Of), 'ùn' (A), 'la' (Tha), 'ád' (At), 'no' (No), and 'à' (Or). I'm still thinking about everything else. After writing several sample texts, it has become apparent that words often do not surpass three letters. Here are some demonstrative sentences I have created:
