North Tongue

Thuloth is the official language of {nation to be named as of yet} and has a native speaking population of roughly {number yet to be determined}. General comprehension of Thuloth is the highest around the planet on which it is used due to its prevalence in commerce and science, partnered with the historical hegemony that its birth nation used to enjoy.

Accents
The type of Thuloth detailed here follows the Standard Academic Thuloth as is used in media broadcasting and written literature. It is the historical accent of the educated echelons in the nation and has the benefit of appearing geographically neutral. Accent variation within the archipelago is rich and diverse to the extent that accent can change between villages; however, geographical areas tend to follow general and historical pronunciation patterns.

Phonology
As the anatomy of the alien race that speaks Thuloth and related languages is of a humanoid nature, the phonology of the race is similar, also. Thuloth has a wide range of consonants and vowels.

Vowel
Vowels in Thuloth have a range of sounds, including diphthongs. The monophthongs outnumber the diphthongs greatly but there is parity in that the diphthongs are relatively common.

Transciption
One important part of the language is to understand the role that each written aspect plays in the spoken part. In the transcription of the language for legibility in Latin script, some rules have been observed.

Vowels

 * 'e' is only pronounced as /ə/ if it is the ending of the word; this is akin to the German words of 'bitte', 'eine' and 'liebe'.

Consonants

 * both of the phonemes /x/ and /ç/ are transliterated with 'ch'; when beginning a word or coming after the vowels /a/, /o/ and /u/, the phoneme is /x/; when coming after /e/ or /i/ the sound is /ç/
 * at the end of a word, if the terminal syllable is a vowel and 'k' then the sound is either /x/ or /ç/ even if another 'e' follows; if it is a double 'k' then the /k/ is heard instead
 * 'ng' is never an initial consonant cluster
 * the /ʃ/ occurs also before the unvoiced plosives naturally and does not need to be marked with an 'sh'; note that this only applies at the beginning of word whether in a single word or compound, as in 'fruhstuck' and 'spiel' in German

Phonetic Rules
Some rules are observed during word formation and syllable creation; these rules dictate whether a syllable is possible within the language. These are some example words that follow the above rules. Note, these are not necessarily actual words in the lexicon but would be viable additions if meanings were assigned to them:
 * affricates form only an initial consonant cluster and act independently of other consonants
 * the /x/ may begin a word but the /ç/
 * the /ŋ/ may not begin a word
 * the /h/ may not end a word
 * spralich
 * dehmtintsh
 * malk

Nouns and Declension
One of the key means of dictating meaning and action within a clause or sentence is through declining a noun into the suitable case, of which there are five in Thuloth. * In copular sentences, the nominative is used for both the subject and the predicate of the sentence that is in question:
 * Nominative: -- the nominative case is the lemma from which all other cases are derived and it marks the subject of the verb. When the verb is active, the subject is the agent of the verb; when the verb is passive, the subject is the item receiving the effect of the verb:
 * The boy saw her.
 * She was seen by the boy.
 * Socrates is a wise man*
 * Accusative: -- the accusative case is the case which marks the direct object of a transitive verb in the sentence, that is to say that the direct object is the entity upon which the verb is acted:
 * Same fed the dogs.
 * The dogs bit the man.
 * Genitive: -- the genitive case is the grammatical case which marks a word as modifying another word, of which both words are normally nouns; the most common modification is that of ownership, or the suggestion of the 'x of y' phrase:
 * The daughter of the king is beautiful, indeed.
 * The contributions of the community are welcome.
 * Michael's happiness comes from his family.
 * Dative: -- the dative case is the case which indicates primarily the noun to which something is given; it can be considered as an indirect object in an analogue to English:
 * Maria gave John a drink.
 * The man to whom the cake I had given.

Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
