Katian

Katian language (Katialang) is an latin-american language. it was influenced by english, chinese, japanese and spanish in different aspects. I made it up because I was alone in my house and I thought it would be very interesting and funny. =Setting= Writing system Katian language uses the latin characters, with some addings from polish letters. that is why it is recommended to write katian using a polish keyboard layout.

=Basic Grammar= Verbs: they generally go after the subject, they generally have a conjunction called the -fą form (fą mamufą). which turn them into nouns with a similar meaning. examples are given here: hadami= to speak - hadafą= conversation, speaking. źatmi= to write- źatfą= writing. the inflection consists of replacing the "mi" sylable of the end that every verb has with "fą". here we have an example when both forms of a verb are used together: kuri mamumi mąłu mamufą- this is my way to be. the following inflections are a result of a japanese influence in katian language:

negatige inflection: the "mi" sylable at the end of the verb is replaced with "źą". hadami = hadaźą to speak = not to speak past (and participle) tense: the "mi" sylable at the end of the verb is replaced with "pamu". hadami = hadapamu to speak = spoke/spoken future tense: the "mi" sylable at the end of the verb is replaced with "fami" hadami = hadafami to speak = will speak "should" suffix: add the "tćini" suffix to the whole verb: hadami = hadamitćini to speak = should speak "would" suffix: add the "kfimu" suffix to the whole verb: hadami = hadamikfimu to speak = would speak "let's" inflection: the "mi" sylable at the end of the verb is repalced with "śo". hadami = hadaśo to speak = let's speak request inflection: there are three kinds of request. the normal, the educated and the vulgar, you replace the "mi" sylable at the end of the verb with. as they have an abreviated form, they will be written after the replacing words: normal: hadamitende / speak                mitende   /miten (hadamiten) educated: hadamitenśuan / please, speak    mitenśuan /mśuan (hadamśuan) vulgar: hadamitetai / fucking speak! mitetai  /mitai (hadamitai) if you would put a a negative past, future, should, would, let's or request. zou put the verb in negative form first and add the other word as a suffix. hadaźąpamu = did not speak

Adjectives: all the adjectives in katian end up with the sylable "źi" and all the adjectives have an inflection called the "śu form" (śu mamufą)which turn them into nouns. here zou get some examples: lamaźi = lamaśu  little / a little hakaźi = hakaśu  stupid / stupidity

Nouns: there are two types of nouns for the pluralization: the universal nouns (ućuźi naumśi)and the y nouns (hya naumśi). the universal nouns: all nouns which do not end up with y. the pluraliyation of these is just adding the "śi" suffix. łami = cat    łamiśi = cats paśu = person paśuśi = people

the y nouns: all those nouns that end up with y. you replace the y at the end with a z. these are some examples: problemy = problem  problemz = problems ćumy = situation   ćumz = situations

particles (katialang łu ki kotofąśi)
particles are key words that can be used for making the things much more clear. there are the preffix particles, the suffix particles and two neutral particles.

suffix particles (portźi ki kotofąśi)
these particles are used after the target object (nikotźi)

particle "ni"

 * it can be used as an object particle. but just when the sentence includes a direct and non direct object. it is used to mark the direct object
 * mą atemi źou mąłu koko ni (I give you my heart)
 * it can be used to mark the present place.
 * śei mamupamu mąłu idepaśi ni (she was in my house)

particle "łu"
it is used to mark possesion. this word goes joined to the word when the word is a pronoun (mą, źou, śei, kai, suri, kuni, and theis plural forms) but it goes separated when is another kind of noun.
 * źoułu naśebi łu dadami bypamu dabemi mału łami (the dog of your child wanted to eat my cat)

Numbers
in katian language we use the same ten digits (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0). the pronunciaton of the numbers was strongly influenced by the chinese language from yero to six, from katian the seven, nine, hundred, thousand, and higher numbers; eight from japanese and ten from english:


 * 0= lin
 * 1= py
 * 2= re
 * 3= ban
 * 4= śi
 * 5= du
 * 6= li
 * 7= tą
 * 8= hać
 * 9= duen
 * 10= pyźen
 * 20= reźen
 * 30= banźen
 * 40= śiźen
 * 50= duźen
 * 60= liźen
 * 70= tąźen
 * 80= haćźen
 * 90= duenźen
 * hundred= piendi
 * thousand= śieły
 * million= źanpyte
 * billion= źanreto
 * trillion= zampiti

fractions
the numerator goes alone and the denominator goes with the suffix "fun". deruved from japanese　分　（bun) ban śifun = three fourths

square roots and exponent numbers
√9=3 ( duen łu rebazby mamumi ban) 5^2=25 (du łu kagamy mamumi reźen du)
 * the word for root in katian is bazby and zou have two ways to say the square root. the long form - łu rebazby or just - łu bazby. but for the third root, fourth root and beyond; zou use - łu _bazby.
 * the word for the exponent number is kagamy (this literally means mirror and it comes from japanese language) but it is used as - łu kagamy.

example sentences

 * śi łu rebazby mamuźą ban. suri mamumi re (the square root of four is not three, it is two).
 * śea źou lamikfimu mą, mą atemikfimu źou pyyapmiti hośiśi (if you would love me, I would give you a trillion stars).
