Thanks :o). I meant Carashan to look like a cross between Romanian and
Portuguese. Surprisingly, it's not a romancelang, though it is
Indo-European.
Carashan is a daughter language of Aredos, which is sister to Lati, Greek
and Sanskrit. It's just coincidence that all the words in the examples could
quite easily have Latin etymologies:
done "where" < Latin de unde, or < Aredos de onde
es "is" < Latin est, or < Aredos este
domeilo "toilet, shed" < Latin *domiculus or < Aredos dómiculos
plaser "to please" < Latin placére or < Aredos placere
domeu "sir, you" < Latin dominus or Aredos < dóminos
aver "to have" < Latin habére or < Aredos havere
In fact, only coveilo "apartment" has a genuine Latin etymology: cubiculum!
