=Setting= ...

=Basic Grammar=

Vowels
It has 10 vowels divided into short and long ones. There are also 5 more added to the new terms added by Sir Nekkos Terminass'n, the nasalized ones.

NOTE: The 10 traditional vowels sound more or less like Spanish (or Finnish).

Classical
Valko Nemura has fourteen consonants in its classical form (d f g h j k l m n p r s t v). Six of them (k l m n s t) can be doubled: kk, ll, mm, nn, ss, tt.

All of them sound like in English, but there are some differences:
 * g: always like in goat
 * h: always like in heat
 * j: always like y in you
 * r: hard as rr in arrow

New Form
In addition to the traditional consonants, some have been added due to relations with other cultures.


 * c: like k
 * x: like ks. This is used in a few dialects but not in the main form.
 * w: like v. Introduced from Veltic (!:TODO) It is only used in translation books.
 * z: like ts. Tt's form like spanish zorro was not accepted.

Some nasalized letters have been added: nj, lj and rj.

The r and rj
The rj was very accepted as a soft variant of the r. That's why r and rr are used instead of classical rj and r.

=Numbers= Asked by Janko Gorenc :)

Silves love the number 3 and so they used a numeric system of 3 sets of 3 numbers making a total of 9.

With the opening of their culture to the world, and the later happenings of Julmalisto, the system was modified with an addition of 3 more numbers making it a set of 3 groups of 3 numbers plus 3 numbers more.

 * 1 - verkko
 * 2 - merkko
 * 3 - jarkko (winter)

-lin group
 * 4 - jurlin (summer)
