Mochadian was the first conlang I created. I actually created it long before I had any idea what a conlang was, then 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.

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), '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.
