Zoran

Zoran is a fan-made conlang for the Zoras in the Legend of Zelda Franchise. This language is a fanon project.

Classification and Dialects
Zoran is divided into two big dialects: The Mainland Dialect (Ranairumat, literally translates to "Lanayru Tongue") is the most common dialect spoken in Zora's Domain and a dying dialect known as the Non-Lanayru Dialect (Bhu-Ranairumat, which literally translates to "Non-Lanayru Tongue"), spoken by the Zora born outside of the Zora's Domain.

Pronouns
Pronouns have three persons and are divided by singular, dual, and plural forms. Zoran also have normal/casual pronouns with humble/formal pronouns. Pronouns have declension depending on the ending of their nominative case as shown below.

Declension 5: Diphthongs
Note: The "(di)" stands for the deafult diphthong. The "(i)" stands for the intial letter of the diphtong.

Additional Verb Prefixes
The formality prefix always goes first, then the passive voice prefix goes next.

Syntax
A unique feature Zoran has is its fluid word orders that affect the meaning of a sentence. Zoran has three moods which syntax heavily affects the meaning of a sentence:


 * A Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) represents an indicative mood. This is the "default" sentence.
 * A Subject-Verb-Object (SVO, usually just VO) represents an imperative mood.
 * A Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) represents an interrogative mood.
