Basic Conlang: Serasraes (not complex)

While I haven't given up on the Faux-Persian conlang (derived from the
phonemes of Urdu, Farsi, and influence from Turkic and Afghani
languages)....I have opted to tackle conlang creation from another angle:
start simple, and work from there.

yes, it took me *this* long to figure that out.
:)

here is what I have thus far:
http://www.geocities.com/rodlox/Conlangs/serasraes.html
inspired by English, Cherokee, Wari...and subconciously Turkish.

SERASRAES


The name for this conlang may sound strange...mostly because was the first
word in the conlang that I came up with.

Pronounciation is as follows: ser-asr-raes.

The /ae/ at the end of Serasraes, its a linked letter - a mashed-together
AE...but my keyboard doesn't have that letter.

I've also sorted this into Parts - based upon the part of speech I decided
to add & when...if this language gets complicated, that just means it gets
more Part #s.

Part 4 is a curiosity (imho) inspired from hearing about the Wari language.
In that form/tense/whatever-the-word-is, personhood is the default.

PART ONE:


This is much simpler than anything else I've come up with (stupid me, taking
so long)...nouns - and anything that can function as a noun - get possessive
suffixes (i, you)....while the verbs - and things that function as verbs -
get the time-relevant suffixes.

The "abstract" role is for such things as "You're fast" or "He's a fast
runner" - statements made outside of firm references to when.

When the word ends in the same sound as the suffix begins with, let them
share the space. (ser+raes=seraes).

When the word ends in a different consonant sound than the suffix begins
with, insert an i between them. (gas+raes=gasiraes).

When a word ends in a different vowel sound than the suffix begins with,
insert an _ between them. (



Noun-Verb word order (N-V)
Unless otherwise mentioned, the last noun in a sentance is the recipient.
(Ben Agnes Philip teylen. Ben and Agnes tithes to Philip).

If that is not true, then the recipient will be marked with a té- prefix.
(Ben té-Agnes té-Philip teylen. Ben tithes to Agnes and to Philip).
