Avb'el

Avb'el is a conlang that is currently work in progress.

History
I came up with the idea of creation of a new language without any particular reason... But, it doesn't make me stop creating it. Because I know English and Ukrainian and am learning Chinese, some words might be partly based on these languages. But, mostly, I want it to be unique one. Also, I'm trying to keep it simple and don't add a lot of declensions. I am using modified Latin alphabet for it.

Alphabet
Adding macron to a vowel will make it a double vowel (i.e. a -> ā or ɣ-> ɣ̄)

Some sounds are expressed through two letters (lh and ph).

In "tg", the "t" is not read, leaving only a "g".

Tenses
Avb'el has 4 tenses: present, past, future, and absolute.

Present tense
Present tense shows an action that is going on in the present. To write in present form, do not add any extra particles.

Example: Tomora tapkite lop ekepase soll bora mobb bora. (They walk and listen to each other.)

Absolute tense
Absolute present tense shows an action that is going on at the moment. To write in absolute form, add ngɣ particle before the first verb.

Example: Tomora ngɣ tapkite lop ekepase soll bora mobb bora. (They are walking and listening to each other.)

Past tense
Past tense shows an action that was going on before. To write in past form, add hor particle before the first verb.

Example: Tomora hor tapkite lop ekepase soll bora mobb bora. (They walked and listened to each other.)

Future tense
Future tense shows an action that will be done. To write in future form, add hal particle before the first verb.

Example: Tomora hal tapkite lop ekepase soll bora mobb bora. (They will walk and listen to each other.)

Mixing tenses
To mix tenses, add the corresponding particle before the verbs.

Example: Tomora hal tapkite lop hor ekepase soll bora mobb bora. (They will walk and listened to each other.)

Another example: Tomora hor tapkite lop ngɣ ekepase soll bora mobb bora. (They walked and are listening to each other.)

To mix with present tense, add met̆ particle.

Example: Tomora hor tapkite lop met̆ ekepase soll bora mobb bora. (They walked and listen to each other).

Transforming words
In Avb'el, adjectives and adverbs are formed by adding special suffixes to a noun. Thus, they can be easily identified from other words by the suffixes.

Making adjectives
To form an adjective, add -i suffix to a noun.

Example: Dok (doctor, n.) + i = Doki (doctor, adj.)

If some words that are borrowed from other languages (names, places, other borrowed words) end on 'i' already, then an 'ɇ' is added to the end. When transforming these words, the ɇ is removed and the i is doubled.

Example: Bɣlhiɇ (bully, n.) + i = Bɣlhī (bully, adj.)

Making adverbs
To form an adverb, add -pɨa suffix to a noun.

Example: Et̆rod (exception, n.) + pɨa = Et̆rodpɨa (exceptionally, adv.)

If the word already ends on a 'p', then add only -ɨa.

Example: Rɣp (speed, n.) + ɨa = Rɣpɨa (speedily, adv.)

Unique suffixes
Although all nouns or all verbs don't have a common suffix like adjectives and adverbs do, they sometimes have suffixes that can help identifying the part of speech.

If a word ends on -ɣnh, it can only be a verb.

If a word ends on -zo or -so, it can only be a noun.

Again, only a part of the verbs or nouns have these suffixes. Most of them do not have any.

Group suffix
To show a group of things, add -or suffix.

Example: Namʓ (food, n.) + or = Namʓor (group of foods, n.)

The difference between grouped and ungrouped namʓ is that the usual one is not saying exactly if there is only one food or a group of it, while the grouped version specifies that it is a group.

Plurality
To change a singular noun to a plural noun, add -s suffix.

Example: Ersa (human, n., sing.) + s = Ersas (humans, n., pl.)

If the word ends on following (ʓ, z, ɯ, sɇ, ʓɇ, zɇ, ɯɇ), suffix -ês is used instead.

Example: Lenʓ (lens, n., sing.) + ês = Lenʓês (lenses, n., pl.)

Particles
The particles help arranging the words and identifying the types of sentences and tenses.

Gender
There are four genders in Avb'el: masculine, feminine, neuter, and indeterminate.

Masculine gender
Masculine gender is used in male animals (including humans).

So, words like husband, man, tom cat, and father automatically become masculine.

Feminine gender
Feminine gender is used in female animals (including humans).

So, words like wife, woman, she-cat, and mother automatically become feminine.

Neuter gender
Neuter gender is used in plants, fungi, prokaryotes, and non-living objects.

So, words like mushroom, tree, bacteria, stone, and air automatically become neuter.

Indeterminate gender
Indeterminate gender is used when you do not specify if an animal (including humans) is a male or a female.

It is also automatically set to words that can be either female or male. Those words include spouse, human, cat, parent, and student.
