Ginger ramble about your irken conlang pleeaaaseee it's so cooool (I know you have on discord before but I want a Tumblr Post for Tumblr Reblogs okay? Okay.)

Omg!!!!! Oh gosh, I don't know where to start! I made a little inforgraphic explaining some stuff, it's a little outdated tho but for now I'll link it here

Anyway,,, I guess I can explain some stuff a bit more thoroughly? Ramble below :P

SO..... First of all, the language is called Irketsi/Irkib, depending on whether or not you want it to be more grammatically correct or cool (Hint-Irkib is grammatically correct) And as of this writing, I think I have about 4,100 words!!! Full disclosure, a lot of those were intially generated.... butttt I have put hours and weeks and months worth of time perfecting and fine tuning and editing and adding words of my own. Anyway.

Grammar Stuffs Irketsi is a SVO language (subject-verb-object), meaning a sentence like "Can I have an apple" would be "Can I apple have." Adjetives are post-positive, like in french (iirc), so for example, "the red rose" becomes "the rose red". Most verbs are regular, and the tenses are as follows:

Write : Gip

Past: written gipoízh

Remote Past: written (long ago) gipa'e

Perfect: have written gipuch

Future: will write gipítai

Nouns are gendered, with masculine, feminine, or neuter genders depending on word. this is important when it comes to conjugating plurals, because each gender has a different way of making a word a plural. Take the word 'broom' (dajeíp) it is a masculine noun, so it should be dajeípeích, but if it was a feminine word, it would be dajeípeí, and if neuter, dajeípa. Um,,,, head empty so now I'm gonna post some pronunciation samples, and a lil song I wrote. Mipta kaí 'akh thayvaonsí vaí rith? (Can I have hot chocolate please?)

Kaí khoweích ao. (I like languages.)

And the song demo

Hope you enjoyed! If you have specific questions, feel free to ask!!!!

E Pluribus Unbelievable! According to all scholars the basis for every modern language has its roots deep in the fertile deserts of Latin America. The ancient Mayans of Chilly were the first people to develop language, which they called Latin, which took several centuries to perfect. Eventually they were introduced to settlers from England who landed upon their continent looking for new species. These Europeans were quick to adopt their language and mixed it with their own rudimentary language which they soon brought back to their home continent where Latin spread eastward and developed into the many languages we have today.
