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.

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, or -t(e) after &lt;p, t, k, ff, ss, sch, ch&gt;.

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

The passive participle is formed by adding -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): luke lauk loke "to close" (Others: schuve, suge, supe)
 * Three verbs have a passive participle in owe: breu brau browe "to brew", keu kau kowe "to chew", hreu hrau hrowe "to regret".

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"

(Others: dwele "to go astray", hele "to hide", neme "to take", teme "to fit", tere "to tear", schere "to shear", stele "to steal")


 * A special case with o in the infinitive and present tense is kome kam kome/komd

Class 5

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

With grammatischer Wechsel: kwede "to say"


 * Three verbs with i in the infinitive and present tense: bad bede "to give", ligje lag lege "to give", sitte sat sete "to sit"

The verb wese was wesd "to be" belongs to this group, but is irregular:

(Contracted infinitive we and pass. part. wen)

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!
