Newerthan language/Sandbox

The Newerthan language is a standalone language that originated on the Serenthan planet of Newerth.

Archaic words will also be listed on this page, though they're generally no longer in use.

This page will gradually be worked on probably.

Grammar and stuff
This section contains a list of grammar and whatnot related to the language.


 * In place of "!?" or "?!", Newerthan uses the interrobang "‽".
 * Newerthan does not have any articles, whether definite or indefinite. As such, there are no equivalents of "a", "an" or "the" in the language.

Newerthan has only one swear word - "uldezuhl". In translations, this word is seen to have

replaced all instances of swearing. The reason is not known.

Numbers after 20 ("tyanzic") merely get additions. So 21 would become "tyanzic-en-iun", and

29 would become "tyanzic-en-nen". However, all multiples of 10 get their own word, at least

up to 90. So the word 55 would become "quinzik-en-vivre". While 100 would become "centred",

173 would become "centred zévanzic-en-triu" and even higher still, 648 would simply become

"zes-centred phierzic-en-ette". So what would 297148 be? "diu-centred nenzic-en-zévan

chiliad (iun-)centred phierzic-en-ette".

Note that "centred" and "iun-centred" are the same, and "chiliad" and "iun-chiliad" are also

the same.

Generally, words tend not to have plural forms in Newerthan. Exceptions will be listed as

separate words, instead.

e.g. "lufia" -> "flower" or "flowers"

e.g. "dio" -> "child" BUT "diosa" -> "children"

Adjectives can be written as one with with the words they describe, or as two words, but

in general, they precede the words they describe. However, there ARE a few exceptions to

that rule. Normally, "lesser" and "greater" come after the words that they describe.

e.g. "Calazaber" OR "Cala zaber" (sharp saber)

e.g. "Astralisir" OR "Astra lisir" (lesser star)

A Newerthan word in past tense gets "o" (pronounced "oh") appended.

In the event that a word ends on the letter "a", "qo" (pronounced "koh") is appended.

In the event that a word ends on the letter "n", a silent "e" is appended.

In the event that a word ends on the letter "o", the pronunciation will change instead.

Depending on the word, the syllables may even change.

e.g. "gas" = "gus" (say) BUT "gaso" = "gus-oh" (said)

e.g. "hiroto" = "hi-rou-to" (love) BUT "hiroto" = "hi-rou-toh" (loved)

e.g. "toresh" = "toh-resh" (trash) BUT "toresho" = "toh-re-shoh" (trashed)

Newerthan words seldom have present participles (these express present actions and, at

least in English, these are formed by adding "-ing"), and those that do, generally get

treated as their own words.

The rough Anglais translation is listed after the pronunciation in parenthesis.

e.g. hero: "he-roh" (hello)

When a word is emphasized, vowels in the word get grave marks. Pronunciation does not

change, and the language itself doesn't use grave marks for native words. For examples,

English words that are emphasized will have asterisks.

e.g. “Et rerig hìròtò ee!” ("I really *love* you!")

Newerthan doesn't use commas and instead use a single right quotation mark (’). There

is no usage of any single left quotation marks.

e.g. “Fen’ he gassaqo.” ("Then, he spoke.")

When quoting, double quotation marks (“”) are used except inside speech.

e.g. “Et hiroto ee!” ("I love you!")

e.g. “Hero’ eh em twaris.” (Hello, I am a tourist.)

In speech, double angle quotation marks («») are used. Any quotes within quotes will use

single angle quotation marks (‹›), but generally never beyond that.

e.g. “She gaso’ «Et hiroto ee!»” ("She said, 'I love you!'")

e.g. “E kwot’ «She gaso’ ‹Et hiroto ee!›»” (I quote, 'She said, 'I love you! '' ")
