Aulandic

Aulandic (Aulendsch []) is a West Germanic conlang with a relatively conservative phonology and a simple (but not too simple) morphology.

Alphabet
The Aulandic alphabet consists of the following 30 letters:
 * Capital:  A, Á, B, C, D,  E, É, F, G,  H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, Ó, Ö, P, Q, R, S, T,  U, V, W, X, Y, Z
 * Lowercase: a, á, b, c, d, e, é, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, ó, ö, p, q, r, s, t,  u, v, w, x, y, z

Pronunciation
Vowels

The vowels &lt;a, e, i, o, u, y&gt; are long in most stressed syllables that end in a single consonant or no consonants. They are short in most syllables that end in two or more consonants excluding suffixes, and in unstressed syllables. Unstressed e is usually mute or

The vowels &lt;á, é, ó, ö&gt; are always long.

Consonants =Basic Grammar= ...

Plural
According to how they form their plurals, Aulandic nouns can be divided in two groups:

1. Nouns with umlaut in plural: This group includes nouns with a, ó, u or au as stem vowel; but not all nouns with these stem vowels belong to this group.
 * Monosyllabic words take umlaut and the ending -e: hand "hand" - hende "hands", hus "house" - hyse "houses". This suffix-e affects the pronunciation of stem-final b, d, g, th and s: voiceless in singular, voiced in plural. Stem-final f becomes v: kalf - kelve
 * Polysyllabic words take only umlaut: appel "apple" - eppel "apples", móder "mother" - möder "mothers".

2. Nouns without umlaut in plural:
 * If the word ends in b, d, g, th or s, the suffix -e is added: wind - winde, aug - auge 
 * If the word ends in f, the suffix -e is added and the f changes to v: hlaif - hlaive 
 * If the word ends in m, n, l, r, p, t, k, ff or ch the suffix -s is added:

Adjectives
Adjectives that end in consonant take an -e in plural: thet ald hus ‘the old house’ - the alde hyse ‘the old houses’ but: thet ny hus ‘the new house’ - the ny hyse ‘the new houses’

Verbs
Aulandic verbs are divided in weak and strong verbs. In addition to these two main groups, there is a small group of so-called preterite-present verbs.

Weak verbs
Weak verbs form their preterites and passive participles by means of a dental suffix: -d(e) after vowels, voiced consonants and simple fricatives, -t(e) after &lt;p, k, ff, ss, sch, ch&gt; or-ed(e) after &lt;d, t&gt;.

The preterite is formed by adding -(e)de or -te to the stem: opene ~ opende, make ~ makte

The passive participle is formed by adding -(e)d or -t to the stem: opene ~ opend, make ~ makt

(Some strong verbs that have a strong passive participle identical to the infinitive have developed in modern Aulandic a weak passive participle: komd "come", sprekt "spoken", fard "gone, moved".)

Strong verbs
Strong verbs display vowel gradation or ablaut. There are seven classes of strong verbs. Each class is characterized by a vowel gradation sequence. The first element of the sequence is the vowel or diphthong of the infinitive and the present tense; the second, that of the past tense; the third, that of the passive participle (&lt;!!!): ...

Class 1

Ablaut sequence: i (long) - ai - é: ride raid réde "to ride"

With grammatischer Wechsel: snithe snaith snéde "to cut"

Class 2

Ablaut sequence: eu - au - o (long): beude baud bode "to command"

With grammatischer Wechsel: teu tau toge "to pull", keuse kaus kore "to choose"
 * A few verbs of this clas have u instead of eu: u (long) - au - o (long): schuve schauf schove (Others: luke, suge, supe)
 * Three verbs have a passive participle in owe: breu brau browe, keu kau kowe "to chew",

Class 3

With nasals (Class 3a), ablaut sequence: i - a - u: binde band bunde "to bind"

With liquids (Class 3b), ablaut sequence: e - a - o: "to help"

Class 4

Ablaut sequence: e - a - o (all long): bere bar bore "to bear"
 * A special case with o in the infinitive and present tense is kome kwam/kam kome/komd

Class 5

Ablaut sequence: e - a - e (all long): geve gaf geve/gevd "to give"

Class 6

Class 7

Preterite-present verbs
The present tense of these verbs has the form of a strong preterite, with vowel-alternation between singular and plural. A new weak preterite is formed with a dental suffix. The verb welle (and its negative form nelle) has a different origin, but is usually included in this group.

Numbers
Cardinals Multiplicators can be written together when the following numeral is hundred or thusend: twaithusend thrihundred = twai thusend thri hundred
 * From 0 to 19: null, ain, twai, thri, feur, fimf, sex, séven, acht, nyn, ten, ailf, twelf, thriten, feurten, fimften, sexten, séventen, achtten, nynten
 * Decades are formed with the suffix -tig: twaitig, thritig, feurtig, fimftig, sextig, séventig, achttig, nyntig
 * Hundreds: ain hundred, twai hundred, thri hundred, feur hundred, etc.
 * Larger numbers: ain thusend, ten thusend, hundred thusend, ain million (1 000 000), ain milliard (1 000 000 000), ain billion (10^12), ain billiard (10^15), ain trillion (10^18), etc.

Numerals ending in -llion and -lliard take a plural ending: twai millions, thri milliarde

Ordinals Only the last numeral takes the ordinal ending: hundred feurtig nynd (149th)
 * From 1st to 12th: from, twaid, thridd, feurth, fimft, sext, sévend, achteth, nynd, tend, ailft, twelft
 * Numerals ending in -ten take the suffix -d: thritend, feurtend, fimftend, sextend, etc.
 * Decades and larger numbers take the suffix -st: twaitigst, hundredst, thusendst, millionst, etc.

Negation
Negation is expressed by means of the particles net and ne:
 * The particle net, placed after the verb or after the object pronoun, negates the whole sentence: Ik drink net. "I don't drink." Ik sa hir net. "I didn't see her."
 * The particle ne is placed before the negated part of the sentence: Ik drink ne win.

ne + ain &gt; nain: Ik haf nain wordbók. "I don't have any dictionary." ...

First introduce: My name is Janko. I'm collecting numbers from various systems in different languages. You can found information about my self and my work on:

http://janko.gorenc.googlepages.com/home

http://janko.gorenc.googlepages.com/collectionnumbers

Please you tell me if you'll have numbers in Aulandic, or from your others conlang(s) in future.

Could you please send me numbers from 1 to 10 (as in English: 1 –one, 2 – two, 3 – three,…) in Aulandic, or from your other conlang(s) on this page or my e-mail address: "j_gorenc@yahoo.com"?

Please you delete my text with your page when you'll have numbers.

Thank you for your help!

I wish you a lot of success at your work!
