Introducing the background: Children of Euphridese.

A/N: I'm literally making a language for this. Also, if you have and advice or questions or recommendations please please ask. And also I REALLY need help making a language.

Euphridese:

Euphridese is a human made Techno-planet. It was created in a rush; due to the deteriorating status of Earth's atmosphere and increasingly inhabitable environment caused by human emissions. Euphridese stands as a literally satellite to Mars in both senses- To monitor the planet, and find the best way to colonize, and as having become a human designed moon of Mars itself. The project of Euphridese was funded primarily by EO-NET institute, a mysterious but powerful cooperation with the CEO out of public limelight since it's rise to fame.

Euphridese, on its surface, holds just barely over twice its maximum capacity, making for overcrowded but bustling towns and tall, intricate apartment style housing to fit everyone. Despite this, life on Euphridese is vibrant- nearly blindingly so. Dyes on nearly every corner market eye catching clothes and food. Euphridese is the planet that never sleeps, mainly because the planet itself is always making a thrumming noise beneath your feet, and also because the markets and town squares themselves never tire of people.

Euphridese is broken into six sectors:

EO-NET: sector one, and the largest sector. Houses the institute; and all adjourned paraphernalia.

Sveuve- Sector 2. "Tides". The smallest sector, but houses all non-upper members of the EO-NET institution.

Koahse- Sector 3. "Middle line". The middle grounds of Euphridese.

Svdotch- Sector 4 "sanctuary". The neutral grounds. Its considered the heaven on Euphridese due to it's disenvolvement with conflict and community first agenda.

Eutch- sector 5 "Urchin". Considered rickety and slum like.

Eyaviseatch- Sector 6. "Dirty Shoe Scum" If sector five was slum like, sector 6 is definitely. All the waste from EO-NET ends up here, and it houses the most people.

EO-NET institute:

EO-NET institute stands for "Economic Overview. Not much is known about them besides the fact they control nearly every economic market, but have a huge overreaching power in technology and medicine. The CEO is unknown, as well as the companies rise to power. EO-NET is also known for shady business deals and practices, bordering on inhumane; but the people can't do anything when the institution keeps constant watch on them, and keeps them impoverished.

Okay so I think that every writer should study or research Italian at one point or another because the Italians have some sayings that are metal as fuck and should totally be utilized in some fantasy settings.

Particularly, their saying for “Good luck”, which is “In bocca al lupo.”

It translates to “In the mouth of the wolf.”

The standard response is “Crepi il lupo!” which means “let the wolf die.”

Feel free to add on sayings from other languages that are cool, too!

Language #1 done!!

So the first language is pretty much almost entirely done!! I’m considering some final cleanup of punctuation and a few letters from the alphabet, but as soon as that’s done I’ll post a full, up-to-date reference for it!!

I’m calling it Adilln. It’s going to be the main language spoken in Myexenox, and very widespread. There are places that don’t speak it or don’t speak it as well but considering how the world is built, it wouldn’t make sense to have very many isolated languages, though I could see a few popping up here and there.

Now time to study Korean so I can use it as a reference for making a second language

Conlang where word order depends on rank

This operates on a similar principle to the tu/vous distinction. The higher-ranked person is always placed first regardless of whether they are the subject or object. Whether they are separated by the verb depends on whether or not they are relative equals. Whether the verb appears first or last depends on familiarity between unequals (for example, between a noble and a bodyguard as opposed to a noble and a peasant.)

SVO (I love you)— lord addressing vassal (unequal rank and unfamiliar) OVS (You love I)— vassal addressing lord (unequal rank and unfamiliar) SOV (I you love)— friend addressing friend (equal rank and familiar) OSV (You I love)— stranger addressing stranger (equal rank yet unfamiliar) VSO (Love I you)— lord addressing servant (unequal rank yet familiar) VOS (Love you I)— servant addressing lord (unequal rank yet familiar)

So, for example, if a king and a peasant met and were ignorant of each other's rank, they would address each other in OSV, as strangers. "I love you" would mean "you seem like a nice person."

If they became aware of each other's rank, the peasant would address the king in OVS. "I love you" would mean "I am your loyal subject." The king would address the peasant in SVO. "I love you" would mean "I am mindful to you as my subject."

If the peasant became a royal attendant of sufficient closeness to the king, they could reach the point where they are allowed to refer to their master in VOS. "I love you" would mean "I am your loyal servant." The king would respond in VSO— "I am grateful for your faithfulness."

If the king and his attendant fell in love, the king might indicate his intention to abdicate by switching to OVS, as if he is the lower-ranking one. Alternatively, if the king has the power to declare his lover as his consort, heir, or both, he may use VOS, though the former is seen as more romantic.

In either situation, once married, they would address each other in SOV. "I love you" would have more or less the same connotation it usually does in English.

If there was a particularly messy divorce, they would go back to OSV.

The Esindri character for face, Kulthima.

The radical Süth, †, is used three times to form both eyes and the nose & eyebrows. The use of the double radical Awipp (=, associated with the earth and bases) forms the lips but also indicates the importance of a face, for identity and speech – the basis of communication. (It ought to be pointed out here that hands are also used heavily by the Esindri for communication because of an extremely high rate of deafness – 1/6 have no hearing at all and 1/3 are affected in some way by lack of hearing)

[lightandfireandsunhavegone]

Esindri has the word Xu (kh-oo) twice. Once is for the number 2 (top) and once for the pronoun 'you', singular (bottom).

The dividing line is coloured blue, it is not included in the symbols themselves.

Muxla – the Esindri word for a sailing boat.

[lightandfireandsunhavegone]

Mountain; Xappo (X is a kh sound and the double p is a voiceless bilabial trill, lips together and blow raspberries)
