Sinpa

Synapsis
Simpa was an Auxlang-Englang Cross language with inspiration of $$K\bar{e}len $$"Verbs" and Toki Pona. Now im reforming it to be a natural englang

Consonants
j: [j, ʝ, ʒ]

r: [ɾ, ɺ, ɻ, ⱱ, ɹ̆, r̆, ʁ̆, ʀ̆]

n: normally alveolar, but any nasal besides [ɲ] can be used.

Phonotactics
(C)V(n)

3 consonants (p, n, r) have all vowels

4 Consonants (t, k, s, j) aren't able to combine with "i" ("ti" and "ki" become "pi", "ji" and "si" become "ri")

1 Consonant (w) isn't able to combine with "u" ("wu" becomes "u")

The "n" is optional for all the combination

Pronouns
Also, "nanpi" can be used to make plural, however it has the meaning of "many..."

Verbs
All verbs derive from nouns, putting a Tense Adverb Example: noko ajen won kenta (I see you), noko ajen jan kenta (I'll see you), noko ajen ren kenta (I saw you)

Imperfect Aspect
For the imperfect aspect: If the verb is only one word long, then it uses the same verb twice, reduplicating it.

But if it's two or more words long, "nuru" (again) is putted beetwen the verb root and the tense adverb.

For example: noko ajen ajen won (I'm watching), ajen aparun nuru won (I'm telling a story).

Converbs
To make new aspects, a one-word verb is used as an auxiliar verb, the main verb is putted in the participle form, using "san".

F.E.: ipen nitinsi won ipen san rukan onwaka (A fish needs to swim in water)

Compounds
Nouns and verbs can be compounded, the compounds are always in pairs such that ABCD is (A*B)*(C*D), ABC is (A*B)*C

FE: ajen eran (eye epoch) -> ajen eran "history, time machine..."

FE: ajen aparun (eye dialog) -> to tell a story/text

If C and D are modifiers of AB, C and D are separated by on (A B C on D), if its necesary to put a "*" anywhere, un is used

Descriptors
All descriptors come from nouns, putting pen, beetween the root and the "complementee", F.E.: jero pen entra (land of color yellow), kena pen kopen (new goverment)

Sentence Structure
Simpa has a really strict SVO word order and a set of some rules


 * 1) Simple subjects are 1 word long and there are fine, but if the subject isnt complex, a is used to separate the Subject from the Verb.
 * 2) If the sentence is negative, non is placed before the verb. noko ajen won kenta (I see you) -> noko non ajen won kenta (I not see you, I can't see you).
 * 3) Interrogative sentences are exactly like afirmative or negative sentences, but after the sentence, "ata" is used. kenta ajen won noko ata? (You see me?/ Can you see me?).
 * 4) Answers use also ata for afirmative answer and non ata for negative ones, "(non) ata rowo" can be used for: I (don't) know.

Gramatical Particles
ata: interrogative particle, answer particle

jan: future time, later

non: negation particle

on: modifier particle

ren: past time, ago

san: participle

un: compound partticle

won: present time, now

Number system
insenta adds 50 and enta adds 100, N enta adds N*100 1000: teka enta, nega makes the number negative.

Hours
The day begins at 6h, and it's composed in 12 double hours, divided in 2, 6 double hours, "suno" and "runa" or S and R.

To divide it into normal hours, use ipesi for initial hours and utara for finaler hours. So 21h is iwan runa utara and 14h is teran soro ipesi

Days & Months
Sinpa uses a lunar calendar divided into 12 months, handled in a 3 year cycle with 35 "months".

Years are counted since Full Moon Monday 1st January 2018.

Every month, the day of the week gets shifted 2 days after, meaning that month 0's 1F will be Monday, but month 1's 1F will be in Wensday

This shift is canceled every 7 months, so while 1's 1F is W, 7's 1F will be Monday
