Gussnish uses an alphabet | |||
The phonetic value of any consonant letter is the first consonant in its name - so that <χ> for example sounds like 'ts' (i.e. /ts/) and <ɧ> sounds like 'λ' (i.e. /ɮ/) | |||
The letters themselves are derived from pictograms. | |||
pæsj = bear = ɤ | |||
tænwef = mushroom = ɷ | |||
tsordh = hourglass = χ | |||
sæn = head = ɵ | |||
tσæba = goblet = ʋ | |||
σværa = clock = ɸ | |||
tjiweσ = cloud = ɯ | |||
sjwæt = rose = ɘ | |||
kmath = jaw = ɜ | |||
banr = hill = ʌ | |||
driλ = river = ʭ | |||
dzitra = fence = ʜ | |||
zaweth = ant = ɶ | |||
dλersja = plough = ʄ | |||
λa = human being = ɧ | |||
djarva = seesaw = ʎ | |||
zji = hair = ɪ | |||
gænø = foot = ɺ | |||
minth = arm = ʏ | |||
nuret = star = ʞ | |||
ŋølær = boat = ʁ | |||
reλæth = tree = ʡ | |||
lif = moon = ɔ | |||
wuthma = whale = ɚ | |||
yachta = navel = ʘ | |||
lenition sign = ː | |||
The phonetic value of a vowel letter is the first vowel in its name. | |||
a: ʱ (called ''λa ære'', 'small human being') | |||
æ: ˠ (''pæsj ære'' 'small bear') | |||
e: ˀ (''reλæth ære'' 'small tree') | |||
i: ʷ (''tjiweσ ære'' 'small cloud') | |||
o: ˣ (''tsordh ære'' 'small hourglass') | |||
ø: ʶ (''ŋølær ære'' 'small boat') | |||
u: ˧˥ (''nuret ære'' 'small star') | |||
The symbol ǃ is sometimes used as an alternative to ʞ (''nuret'') after a vowel and before a consonant. So for example, denr (three) is written <ʭˠǃʡ>. It's called ''nuret tharsj'' 'narrow star'. | |||
Punctuation is as follows: | |||
[ ] = quotation marks | |||
. = space/word boundary marker | |||
ɭ = period | |||
ɭɭ = comma | |||
ʕ̰ = semicolon | |||
ʕ = colon | |||
The punctuation mark ˈ is placed before sentences and clauses, and ˌ before proper names. | |||
ˈɤˠ.ɵˣǃɚˠ.ʏˀʞɤːʱʡʞʱɷːˀɭɭ.[ˈɜˣ.ˀɤːɵʱ.ʭːˀ.ɘɚˠɷ.ʏˀʋːˠʌʱʞˠʡɭ] | |||
Pæ sonwæ menfarnathe, "Ko efsa dhe sjwæt meσæbanær." | |||
The person said, "There's water and a rose in the goblet." | |||
