Unitican

This is a work in progress, expected to be finished by March 2014

General information
An imaginary language created for few people who decided that talking in English was too mainstream. Its grammar is heavily based on English, with only one or two exceptions

Nah.. Created for a novel currently in writing (for pleasure) as a language used by the people living on the planet Earthy. The planet Earthy is created in an imaginary world, partially resembling Coruscant in Star Wars. It is the Lingua Franca there the same way English is the Lingua Franca here.

Phonology
The IPA letters are on the left, while the romanization is on the left.

Alphabet
There are alot, alot, alot of letters used in Unitican, especially diacritics and accents. However it was planned in mind that evetually with use, one can read words without the use of most accents

Phonotactics
Unlike english, when an "e" follows a word it has to be pronounced, for instance

Myne is pronounced "My-ne" not "Mine (english)"

Grammar
It follows Subject - Verb - Object.

For example, Ya cin te fean shidg'rins - I like to eat potatoes

But you are free to put the the Verb infront, and object subject behind in verbs, for example,

Zy uueveyaye? - (Do lovemeyou?) Do you love me?

Ahnnen anchroyahey te they lexinhyalyn - ( Father fetchmehe to the school) Father fetch me to school

Ya zy'nnx biané cinyhenya - (I don't really likeherme) I don't really like her

But it is ok not to use this sort of grammar ( Rules to be set some time in the future)
