Ienn

History
Ienn is a language of a fictional world.

Ienn is a language of the planet Oart. Imagine our Earth with the same age, same attributes, same continents, same flora and fauna. But a big group of the first human beings did not speak an indo-european language. They spoke the Old Ienn language.

This language family is younger than our indo-european one. Here you can see the languages, which exist now.

Old Ienn was just a bit different from this new one. But today that language does not more exist (the red colour shows it). After the first changes in Old Ienn, another language started being alive: the Europine. In the middle time of Europine a new language variant appeared; this was the Panorka (today it's died). But there are two languages evolved: Panora, which is really similar to Panorka, and Norka, which is less.

Wait for the whole history later. It'll be interesting...

(This is my first conlang, which I haven't used for a long time and I try to remake this language now by using manuscriptes. Because of discovering newer and newer things there can be some little changes on this page, sorry.)

Phonology
a, b, c [t͡s], d, e, f, g [d͡ʒ], h, i, j [d͡z], k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w [v], x [ks], y [i] or [j], z [ʒ]
 * Letters not followed by bracket are pronounced as the corresponding IPA symbols
 * Letter combinations:
 * ii - [i:]
 * oa - [ø]
 * zh [z]
 * q is not used except for in loan word and place names
 * x is always pronounced as [ks]
 * v and w:
 * are pronounced identically, i.e. as [v]
 * the occurence of v or w in writing is not predictable, instead it must simply be learnt
 * both letters are used because in the past there was a distinction between the letters, i.e. [v] and [w]

The two tables below show IPA symbols with the corresponding letter(s) of the alphabet in parentheses beside them.

Definite

 * it's la
 * use it when something is known or concrete
 * don't use before personal names

Nouns

 * there are no genders
 * dual
 * you form the dual with the ending -(e)nne
 * if the last letter of the noun is -e then you have to add the ending -nne
 * if the last letters of the world are double i, then one of them will disappear and the ending -enne will be added
 * if the last letters of word are ...(C)CeC(C) and we have to add the ending of the dual (-enne), then the the order of these letters will change and we have to add the ending -nne: ...(C)CC(C)enne. If it would make the pronounsiaton impossible, then this change won't happen
 * you use dual when you speak about a pair of things
 * plural of dual noun means two or more pairs of things
 * plural with the ending: -(e)sse; maus - mausesse
 * if the last letter of the noun is -e then you have to add the ending -sse; seloave - seloavesse

Adjectives

 * Adjectives do not decline

Particle

 * there is one particule, which behaves like a verb
 * it's infinitive form is 'oa
 * if we add this particle to verbs then it will show the person*, the tense, the voice and the mood of the verb
 * if we add this particle to the subject of the phrase, then it means the same like the verb to be in English
 * if the subject is a noun or a pronoun then the particle will be added to that
 * if the subject is not a noun or a pronoun then the particle will be added to the predicate
 * We do not use the particle in the third persons in present tense. If it's meaning is to be. If it's role is to show the conjugations of the verb, then we have to add it.
 * Here are the forms of the particle:

Verbs

 * the verbs have just infinitive forms
 * there is no verb like to be (see: particle)
 * the conjugation of the verbs are being made by the particle
