X'ocpláq'

X'ocpláq' is an unnatural personal language created just for fun by Neonlights. X'ocpláq' is read /xoʃ'plaqə/ in IPA. It has a very complicated grammar and an OVS system (except when a personal pronoun is the subject; it's then blended into the verb).

PGN (person-gender-number) suffixes
The following suffixes must be placed like this: person-gender-number (just like the title).

Person

 * First person - lá
 * Second person - lí
 * Third present person - lú
 * Third distant person - lw'
 * Fourth person (used for divine beings, like God) - léi
 * Fifth person (used for one's alter ego) - leme

 * Masculine - s
 * Feminine - t

Verb example
By putting all those affixes, we can get an unique verb form. For example, verb oxoci, to eat.


 * ojaxocilásó /oʤəksoʃɪ'lazø/ - I eat (I eat now, I'm a male)
 * ojaxocilátó - I eat (I eat now, I'm a female)
 * ojoxocilítí - You're going to eat (You, plural, feminine)
 * ojoxocilíví - You're going to eat (You, plural, masculine and feminine)
 * oj'úxocilísó - Eat (You, singular, masculine)

If a verb begins with a consonant (very rare), then we put the first vowel in the beginning, the infix, the root (which is now the full verb) and the suffix. Verb r'oxi, to run, is a very good example.


 * ojar'oxilásó - I run
