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.
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.
Orthology and Phonology
Quick summary:
| Letter | A | À | Á | B | D | E | È | É | F | G | H | I | Í | K | L | M | N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pronunciation (IPA) | /eɪ/ | /æ/ | /a/ | /b/ | /d/ | /i/ | /j/ | /ε/ | /f/ | /ɡ/ | /h/ | /aɪ/ | /ɪ/ | /k/ | /l/ | /m/ | /n/ |
| Letter | O | Ò | Ó | P | R | S | T | U | Ù | Ú | V | X | X´ | Θ | Θ´ | ʃ | ʃ´ |
| Pronunciation (IPA) | /oʊ/ | /ʌ/ | /ɔɪ/ | /p/ | /r/ | /s/ | /t/ | /ju/ | /u/ | /ʊ/ | /v/ | /tʃ/ | /dʒ/ | /θ/ | /ð/ | /ʃ/ | /ʒ/ |
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.
Phonotactics
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.
Grammar and Syntax
Still nothing yet. Thinking.
Morphology
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.
Dictionary
The only words that I've developed are 'Mokadeòn' (Of Mochadia) and 'Mokadeò' (Mochadia). I'm still thinking about everything else.
