Euronese

Overview Euronese is an official language of the Socialist Republic of Boli. The base grammar was invented by our Dear Leader Comrade Chen, and was expanded upon and reformed by the Euronese Standardization Committee.

The vast majority of Euronese syntax is based off of French, with borrowings from Afrikaans, Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghai dialects), German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Yiddish. The grammar is somewhat French inspired, but "maintains" features of English. =Setting= Euronese is a unique language that is the pride of Bolinese socialism. With a simplified script and grammar, it should prove easy to learn for any person.

Euronese is a living language that is constantly being reformed. The Euronese Standardization Committee, under the leadership of the Central Committee of the BPRCP, is remaining resolute and following Comrade Chen's directive to "carry the linguistic reform through to the end".

=Alphabet= Euronese uses the Latin script, with one letter borrowed from old Cyrillic.

Euronese makes use of the following Latin letters: A, E, F, H, I, K, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, U, X ß, ŧ, ʀ, ſ

The following Latin digraphs: Ph, Th, Kh, Nh, Fh, Uh, Xh, Sh, Rh, Qh ßh, çõ The following Latin trigraph: R-rh

And the following Cyrillic letter: ѫ

The following Latin letters may be used in words from foreign languages: à, è, ĕ, ê, ŏ, ŭ

B, Sh, D, F, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, S, T, V, W, Y and Z are pronounced as in English. A, E, I, O, U, R are pronounced as in Spanish

*

-capital “ß” is “ẞ”, but it is not in common use.

-G is a voiced velar plosive. "g" as in English's "get"

-Q is a guttural k

-X is “ks”, except after “ei”, when it pronounced “sh”. This pronunciation is from Portuguese and Catalan influences.

-Kx is pronounced “kh”, or “ch”, a voiceless velar fricative. “ch” as in Scottish or German.

-Rh is pronounced “zh”, a voiced post-alveolar fricative. “zh” as in Russian, or “j” in French.

-R-rh is pronounced “gh”, a voiced velar fricative. “gh” as in Arabic, or “r” in Parisian French.

-Ch is pronounced "tch", a voiceless palato-alveolar affricate. "ch" as in "China"

-Qh is pronounced as either the voiced or voiceless dental fricative. “th” as in “the” or “thin” in English.

-ѫ is “tt”, specifically used for the present tense verb conjugation for the plural/polite second person pronoun, “fhus”.

After December 17, 2009, a reform will have gone into effect that changes of the mandatory spelling convention of using “ѫ”, to optional and reinstates the writing of “tt”. -ʀ is used to double consonants that contain an “h”. (i.e. “nhʀ” instead of “nhnh)

-çõ is used to write the noun ending "tsion", which corresponds to the English "-tion".

=Basic Grammar=

Nouns
Nouns come in two categories, “heavy,” and, “light”.

Heavy nouns end in “o”, “u” or a consonant

Light nouns end in “a”, “i” or “e”.

Nouns ending in vowels are usually free to switch category if necessary. There is no rule confining one noun to a specific category.

Heavy nouns:

Light nouns:


 * "Nhikhne" is pronounced as "nhinxhe"

Plural

The plural of the noun is formed by adding “s” to the end of a noun

The articles
The definite article

The definite article has four forms, one for each category of noun in the singular and plural.

Inh

Used for singular heavy nouns

Inh Inmin	The People

Inh orientu	The east

Nha

Used for singular light nouns

Nha Partixha	The Party

Nha tierra	The earth

Nhos

Used for plural heavy nouns

Nhos deixs	the countries

Nhos ßefhous	the hairs

Nhas

Used for plural light nouns

Nhas axhis	the aunts

Nhas nhikhnhes the lines

The indefinite article

The indefinite article has two forms, one for each category of noun in the singular plural.

Uno

Used for singular heavy nouns

Uno Inmin	A People

Uno ßefhou	a hair

Una

Used for singular light nouns

Una Partixha	A Party

Una likhne	a line

The Partitive- Article

The partitive article has three forms, one for heavy nouns, one for light nouns, and one for plural nouns.

Note: the partitive article, like in French and other romance languages, also functions as the word “of” [see section on the word “of”]

The

Used for singular heavy nouns

The tienpo	some time

The arkhento	some money

Thi

Used light singular nouns

Thi nuritura	some food

Thes

Used for plural nouns

Thes ßefhous	some hairs

Other Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases
“Of”

The word “of” has four forms, one for heavy nouns ending “o” or “u”, one for light nouns, one for heavy nouns ending in a consonant and one for plural nouns. It is essentially the exact same as the partitive article.

The

Used for singular heavy nouns

The inh ßefhou  of the hair

Thi

Used light singular nouns

Thi nha ßiena	 of the dog

(Noun ending in a consonant)a (“-a”)

Used for heavy singular nouns ending in a consonant

Stanhina	Of Stalin

Noska theixa	Of our country

Inh Inmina	Of the people

Thes

Used for plural nouns

Thes uŧes nharkas of those boys

“Of the” in the plural

After October 25, 2008, a mandatory reform will have gone into effect that changes the plural forms of the prepositional phrase “of the”. The new prepositional phrase will be called the “partitive-definite article”.

The reform works as follows:

For saying “of the [heavy plural noun]”, the reform will replace:

“thes nhos [heavy plural noun]” to “thos [heavy plural noun]”

And

For saying “of the [light plural noun]”, the reform will replace:

“thes nhas [heavy plural noun]” to “thas [heavy plural noun]”

Example:

The heads of the dogs

Nhas tetas thas ßienas

The capitals of the countries

Nhas kapitanhas thos deixs

To

The Euronese word for “to” is, “à”. It is primarily used as a dative phrase to show direction, but can be used in combination with the infinitive of a verb in a sentence, so as to clarify the use of the infinitive in the sentence.

Thones inh maixhs à nhui	Give the corn to him

Eu ni sapho ke [à] panhar! I don’t know what to say!

After March 8, 2008, an optional reform will have gone into effect that replaces “à” before singular nouns ending in consonants, or singular nouns beginning with a vowel with “-sko”

Una toata Stanhinsko				A toast to Stalin

Eusko						To me

Nos fhenh anhi ton inh Kunkh’onsko		We will go to the Kung’on (People’s Park)

For

The Euronese word for “for” is, “par”. It is used as a dative phrase to show direction

Eu fhenh ke-tßose faii par tu	I will do anything for you

After March 8, 2008, an optional reform will have gone into effect that replaces “par” before singular nouns ending in consonants with “-ae”

Serfheѫes inh Inminae	Serve (for) the people

Nos traphanhxhons inh Kommunismusae		We work for communism

Short list of common prepositions

"Should"

The word "should" in Euronese is "shonhn". It is not conjugated in any way, and is treated as a pseudo verbial-preposition.

Possession
Possession is shown by adding “ka” or “-ka” to the end of a noun.

Euka		My

Stanhinka	Stalin’s

Etomaß-ka	the stomach’s

Pronoun
There are nine “personal pronouns” and five “abstract pronouns”, two of which share the same meaning. There are no objective pronouns (i.e. “Eu” means both I and me)

Personal Pronouns

Singular

Plural

Abstract Pronouns

Adjectives
Adjectives affect nouns depending on the category and number. Adjectives come after the noun they describe.

The base adjective is the adjective used for singular heavy nouns, which always ends in “-o”. For light nouns, the “-o” is switched to “-a”. Plural is formed by adding “-s”.

Inh ßien phuono		The good dog

Nha Partixha Khrantha	The Great (or big) Party

Nhos ßiens phuonos		The good dogs

Nhas nhetßas manhas		The bad leeches

Adverbs
Adverbs are similar to adjectives, but with several exceptions due to popular speech, not because of any special grammar patterns.

In general, adverbs are more dependent on the subject of the sentence, rather than the verb. Unlike adjectives, adverbs can come before the noun they are modifying.

Most adjectives can be used as adverbs. Adverbs follow the same grammatical pattern as adjectives in forming the correct form depending on the category and number of subject of the sentence.

To form a “-ly” adverb, take the base adjective, remove the “-o” stem and “-amento”. With that, one would apply the same grammatical patterns as just mentioned.

Nos rhouxheushamentos senhephratons tuka annifhersoa!

We happily celebrate your birthday!

Eu rapitho kouro

I run fast

There are several adjectives in common usage that do not follow the above grammatical patterns. Some common ones are “hoxhkh” (high), “ßouthnhero” (warm[ly]), “sikhue” (resolutely), and “uhantßuan” (completely).

The common phrase “hoxhkx nhefheѫes” (hold high) demonstrates the only irregular case for “hoxhkx”.

The common phrase “ßouthnheros senhephrateѫes” (warmly celebrate) demonstrates the only irregular case for “ßouthnhero”.

“Sikhue” (resolutely), and “uhantßuan” (completely), as well as other adjectives/adverbs derived from Chinese do not follow the patterns for adjectives and adverbs. They are instead left alone and simply placed in the same part of the sentence as the adjective or adverb.

=Verb=

Verbs, in their infinitive, end in “ar”, “er” or “ir”. There is no difference between the three endings. There are no irregular verbs, and all verbs follow the pattern.

There are 4 basic tenses.

Present

Past

Future

Progressive

Present
Present tense is shown by removing the “stem” of the verb (“ar”, “er” or “ir”), and conjugating it according to the pronoun it is used with

Singular

Plural

Abstract Pronouns

Past
The past tense has two forms; simple and perfect.

In simple, the stem is removed and “u” is added at the end

Traphanhxhar	To work

Eu traphanhxhu	I worked

In perfect, the word “aph” is placed before the verb, and then the simple past tense is used

Apher			To have

Eu aph aphu una ßiena	I have had a dog

In the past tense, the only irregularity is that the verb “ser” (to be), maintains the “e” “Seu„	was-not “su”

Future
Future tense, as well, has two forms; correct and informal

In correct, the word “fhenh” (will) is put before the verb, the stem is removed and replaced with “i” and the word “ton” is put after the verb.

Anher					To go

Eu fhenh anhi ton à inh Kunkhsa	I will go to the (People’s) Commune

In the informal, the only difference is that the word “ton” is omitted, other wise it is completely the same as the correct form.

In the future tense, the only irregularity is that the verb “ser” (to be), maintains the “e”

“Fhenh sei ton„	will be-not “fhenh si ton”

Progressive
The progressive tense functions the same as in English, showing a continuative action. It can be combined with other tenses to form the progressive forms of those tenses.

The progressive is formed by removing the stem and replacing it with “omum”

Progressive:

Aprexh utinhisomum nha phanxha, ni ferkheseѫes à nhafhar fhuska mexhnes

After using the bathroom, don’t forget to wash your hands

Present Progressive

Eu so eßkriphomum	I am writing

Past Progressive

Eu seu nhiromum	I was reading

Future Progressive

Eu sei anhomum	I will be going

''The Socialist Republic of Boli is a socialist state of the second stage of socialism led by the proletariat, and based on the alliance of workers, farmers, labourers, and students. This is to say that Boli is a socialist democratic proletarian dictatorship of the people.''

Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

"Totos ‘umanos sefhants naissefhants nhiphero und ekuhanho en thinxhiteè unth rekxts. Sefhants thouefhants mit raison unth konsiens’ unth shonhn arhefhants à nhos outros en uno espiri’ ph’haixhaßiffa."

''All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.''

=Cyrillic Alphabet for Euronese= An adaptation of the Cyrillic Alphabet is also used to write Euronese.

Cyrillic "Layout"

 * Notes

The Cyrillic letter "б" for the letter "b" ("ph"), is written as "δ", which is in fact a lowercase Greek delta. This is preferred due to its similarity to a cursive "б".

Similarly, the Cyrillic letter "д" for the letter "d" ("th"), is written as "g". This too is preferred due to its similarity to a cursive "д".

In addition, the Cyrillic letter "Г/г" for the letter "g" ("kh"), is written as "Ƨ/ƨ". Again, this convention is preferred due to its similarity to a cursive "Г/г".

The letter "ц", for the sound "ts", is dropped, with "тс" being the preferred orthography.

Finally, the letter "ҥ" is used very rarely in actually writing, but is commonly seen in handwriting, usually written with a ligature looking similar to "ⱶƨ".
