This language is a conlanguage, and thus is not real. I am using the
phonemes and a few of the language rules of a few Iranian/Persian languages,
but am deriving original words from them.
References for the phonemes and a few language rules:
"Punjabi-English English-Punjabi Dictionary" by Dr. K.K. Goswami.
"Urdu: Dictionary And Phrasebook" by Nicholas Awde.
"Lonely Planet: Farsi (Persian) Phrasebook: The Language of Iran"
To avoid any confusion, I'll explain here and now what some of the perhaps
odd-looking letters represent, since I only know the English alphabet when
it comes to text-only formats.
e= and a= are e and a with a line over the vowel.
d. and r.are those consonants with a . beneath them.
n. is n with a . overtop of it.
' is an apostrophe...though it may be used as an 'ayn.
" is a glottal stop...like the Cockney bo"le.
Plural Forms
__ pair three four five and more
-t -te thhe te= t.e
-d, -dh ___ da, dha de=, dhe=
-d. d.a d.ha d.a' d.a=
n na nhe ne na=
n. n.e n.he n.e' n.e=
verbs -ob -obt -obh -ob.n
guess -ah -ah -ahn -ahn
negation e=x- e=xa=- e=xa=- e=xa=-
