Atramia

General information
Atramia (English: /ætɻɨmɪɨ/, Atramia: Atriž /ɑtɻiʒ/) is a language spoken by Atramia people, also the official language of Atra Third Republic. The language regulator now is Atramia Development and Management Committe (ADMC, Atramia: Kommèttè dè l'Argur et lò Φrigia d'Atriž, KAΦA) under Atra University.

In the following page, I will show you Atramia with a lot of tables, be aware.

Alphabet
Alphabets of Atramia are made up of Latin scripts and Greek scripts (Φ and Χ).

Vowels
Please remember not all compunds of letters are pronounced as the way in the table above. Also there are always exceptions.
 * 1) "o" isn't pronunced at the end of a word, unless it is hard, like "ò".
 * 2) Pronunciaitons of both "è" and "ò" aren't quite regular. Since the irregularity of pronounciation, ADMC (Atramia Development and Management Committe) has declared a table, suggesting the right pronunciation according to Standard Atramia in Zhougriss.

The vowel /ɤ/ makes appearence when "o" or "ò" is in front of a first stress.

Pronoun

 * 1) The "femiline" here refers to female speaker. "Es" would be "her" in English.

Regular Verb
There are four kinds of conjugations for regular verbs. Ending with voiced consonants, such as condeur (lead) and rer (laugh).

Endling with voiceless consonants, such as tros (dig) and tlolos (hear). Ending with vowels, such as punga (stab), except for those which end with "o". Endling with "hard e" or "hard o".
 * 1) The suffix drops if the word ends in -o.

Conditional Verb
Conditional verbs stand for actions depending on other conditions although the conditions can be absent in senteces. The declaration of conditional verbs is almost same as one of indicative verbs. The word "pra" declarates, too.
 * Au pra metur. (I might go.)
 * N'au prèz f'enapparè seus iu ferronè vor. (I would have disappeared if you had done that. (In fact I didn't disappear.))(Past Unreal Condition)
 * Seus Luiss meturiut incuo, ne vor pra petit dè vède Farn. (If Luiss went there, she could meet Farn. (In fact she isn't there, nor she meets Farn.))(Present Unreal Condition.)

Passive voice
A little thing in Atramia is called "Auxiliary Modifier". Auxiliary modifiers are words that can't stand alone and must appear with other words. As for passive voice, we use "red" to modify it. The modifier here doesn't affect the conjugation of verb behind it.
 * Èumainlant tuto red purtèst nier lò libèr et lò paril. (All human beings are born free and equal.)

Declination According to Number and Voice
Basicly the declination of masculine and femiline nouns are same, but be aware of mallè/mallò, lèss/lòir, motšè/motšò, dèt/dòt.

Ending with vowels.

Verbal Noun
Verbal noun are noun that are formed from verbs and somewhat able to build noun phrase. Verbal nouns, in English, follow verb syntax and can be modified by adverbs. So does in Atramia. The way of building verbal nouns in Atramia is to simply put vu in front of verbs. The verbal noun in the example sentence below is bolded, and the whole noun phrase is underlined. In the second sentence, we can see the usage of verbal nouns. The verbal noun "v'olseum" takes another noun "lò viòlin" as an object to construct a noun phrase.

Deverbal Noun
The only thing we have to do is to add an article(lò) before the verb. Unlike verbal nouns, deverbal nouns can merely be used as one simple noun. See the sentences below.

Adjectival Noun
Same as English, and similar to the rule of gerund. We add the article lò to make adjectives nouns.
 * Au'mor lò ross. (I love red.)
 * Èus dè iu èus lò'n icue? (Are you the best person here?)

Dative Noun
They are sometimes called "Middle Noun" owing to its usage. See the example below: The pronoun "he" is located between V'Laciur (let) and Metur (go), thus we use gzegc instead of oro. Yet another usage of dative noun is to mark "who the person given things is". Also to emphasize "the chose one".
 * V'Laciur gzegc metur. (Let him go.)
 * Au fi don d'lò fanciullad floros man. (I gave the maiden my flower.)
 * Au fi don floros man d'lò fanciullad. (I gave my flower to the maiden.)
 * Dinš red dotèròt haspèros et konšaèansos. (They are endowed with reason and conscience.)
 * Haspèr et konšaèans red dotèròt dinš. (Reason and conscience are endowed them.)
 * Iu èus d'lò'nd. (You are the chosen one.)
 * Geun fi žod ies kondeurlantos ouf. (We chose you to be our leader.)
 * Ies red fi žodo kondeurlantos out. (You were chosen to be out leader.)

Comparative and Superlative
The form of comparative/superlative adjectives is pretty easy. There are no irregular adjectives.

Attributive Verb
In Atramia, attributive verbs can be constructed by van (active) and red (passive). They can be whether verbal or deverbal, according to the context. In the word "red dein savor", we know that the modified noun "is known" owing to the proposition "dein". And we can replace it with "dos" or "tlos". So is active attributive verb. Moreover, we can see them in such words as "lacuo red dos gelèr" (a frozen lake) or "omms van è'ssid" (a man killing (people), a killer).

Noun Clause
A noun clause acts like a noun in a sentence. Beware that verbal nouns are not noun clauses since they are eventually "nouns". Most of the time the word "van" introduces a noun clause. (All noun clauses below are underlined.) Because of the dative case, in some cases, the word "van" can be omitted.
 * Au savor van dos vedès me . (I know that he sees me.)
 * Vu esser un kondeulantos ist dur, hahm? (Being a leader is difficult, huh?)(Not a noun clause but a verbal noun)
 * N'èus d'iu tloloso dos è rer ? (Don't you hear (about that) he is laughing?)
 * N'èus d'iu tloloso gzegc è rer? (Don't you hear he laughing?)

Adverbial Clause
Adverbial clauses are common among all the clauses in Atramia. They are often starting with conjuctions like hiol (in case of), seus (if), and so on.

Relative Clause
Words as cuei and cuovo can also be used to build relative clauses, just like English.
 * Dos ist l'un cui fi ossidi Šon. (He is the one who killed Shon.)
 * Dos ist d'l'ommsda cui vto red fi appitit "Lòir Grand Saoveuros". (He is the man who was ever called "The Great Savior".)
 * Zè/Zò ist cuovo iu red fi purtè. (This is where you were born.)
 * Au fid cuei au vedè. (I trust what I see.)

Yes-no Question
Questions in Atramia are constructed by syntax. Like the do-support in English, questions in Atramia feature insertion, too, but a little bit different.

Wh-Question
Like the yes-no question, the syntax is basicly the same. But the "esser" is replaced.
 * 1) the verb "possed" here are it's orginal form without any conjugation owing to not having a clear subject.

Is there? Are there?
A unique one. Behold......

Lè dè......
Which means "there is/there are" in English or "Il y a" in French.

Auxiliary Modifier
Auxiliary modifiers are little words in Atramia used to modifier verbs according to mood, voice, etc, yet they don't combine with verbs nor affect the conjugation of verbs. Some of them even have their own inflection. Unlike auxiliary verbs, modifiers are not verbs.

dein
Used for perfect aspect. This modifier has three inflections according to tense. It can't be used alone.

è
Used for progressive aspect. This modifier has three inflections according to tense. It can't be used alone.

fi
Used for simple aspect. This modifier has only two inflections according to tense (the one of present tense is not necessary). It can't be used alone.

lè
It can be used as either an article or for noun marker for verbs. It has more complex inflections.
 * DbD: Distinction between Demonstratives

pra
Used for conditional mood. It has three inflections according to tense.

red
Used for passive voice and adjunct clasue. There is no inflection of this modifier.

van
Used for adjunct clasue. There is no inflection of this modifier.

vu
Used for verbal noun.

Derivations in Atramia
There are a lot of ways in Atramia to form derivations, including using auxiliary modifiers. Beware some of the derivation are destructive (marked as † below). Unlike directly attaching the suffix to the word, destructive derivation removes the last consonant (vowels are ignored) and then attach to the destroyed word, such as iutitua from intir. (viculant is somehow irregular.)

Be aware that most of the time, "-ttub" is used for nouns with voiceless ending, while "-zs" is used for voiced consonants or vowels.

Places where verbs take place are femiline in Atramia.

Combination of Words in Atramia
When two words, one with vowel ending and another one with vowel opening, meet each other, one of the neighboring vowel must be combined. Some linguistists suggest that this might be developed from such rule of prepositions, like dè, lè, lò, etc. The rule was then applied to nouns, verbs, and other words.

The order of combination
But of course we can't combine words at our will. There is an order that we must follow. We use the mark ' to replace the combined part of the word.

Vocabulary
As for a language spoken in the place between France and Italy, some of the vocabularies of Atramia do look like those in French or Italian, or even English. Here are at least 600 words now, it's too many to list here. Here's the lexicon page.

Words about Countries
Atramia do have a complex system to describe things related to countries.
 * Un atrèlant cui utilizi atriž livrès ber un laèz atrès an atra. (An Atramia who speaks Atramia lives in an Atramia house in Atra.)
 * Guerr Cinnè-Ğaponè (Sino-Japan War)

Naming Habits in Atramia
In most situations the name of one person can be shortened to two parts: first name and last name.

Kripus Dastogeun

As for the complete name, there are usually four parts besides the first and last name.

Kripus Χastoll Žaogliss Dastogeun

The second name "Χastoll" stands for the first name of a father or mother of a person. That is to say, Kripus Χastoll Žaogliss Dastogeun has a father called Χastoll Zeglas Žaogliss Dastogeun or so.

The third name "Žaogliss" represents for the location where the family grows. The family "Žaogliss Dastogeun" might came from Žaogliss long time ago, while "Livan Dastogeun" came from Livan.

Usually when a family is formed, its members are allowed to change their third name to the place they live. For example, Ivan Toğèn Cilreslè Vesliv is married to Laon Kalpatt Pahè Φòrestieum, has a baby called Ellas Ivan Cilreslè Vesliv, and they live in Dageun. They can replace their third name with "Dageun". Thus their names are: Ivan Toğen Dageun Vesliv, Laon Kalpatt Dageun Φòrestieum, and Ellas Ivan Dageun Vesliv. Though most of time theğ are called Ivan Vesliv, Laon Φòrestieum, and Ellas Vesliv.

Another short form is ''Kripus Χ. Žg. Dastogeun''. The "Žg." is abbrivation of "Žaogliss".

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.


 * Et allòr luf èumailantuav tuto fi parlès un lingağ et un f'utilizi un sort dè parol.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

 * Et elž fi diri, "V'Laciur gors konstruk gia gor un villos et un toros vanmaun olt petit dè purta lèss šielos. Et v'laciur gors gloreuk nomos ouf, hiol geun red paffia šis lè surfès dè lò maun tuto."

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children and men builded.
