Isgalino

About the language - Isgalino, grammatically Isgalino has been changed significantly. Originally a language very much derived from Spanish, Italian and English, it borrowed its grammatical construction from English. But over time it has been decided that it would base its grammar on a system much more similar to Italian, and Spanish rather than English. Another issue was noticed after around a week of its original texts, it was the fact that it used an unusually transformed version of the Latin alphabet, e.g. (Á,É,Í,Ó,Ú) & Odd consonants (Ĉ,Ĝ,Ŝ,Ĵ). This was sure to be a problem when it was written down, as most computer keyboards do not have these unusual characters and most people are simply not used to writing them. The letters and markings were also deemed unnecessary, and so the alphabet was reconsidered and now uses the standard familiar Latin alphabet used by modern English but with some letters unused & removed.

Letters (K,Q,X) are not used in the Isgalino alphabet and are replaced according to a more regular phonetic system in Isgalino. C is used instead of K. Q is replaced with C & U both connected together, for example this happens in other Isgalino words G & U connected together make a similar sound. Like in Spanish "Cuando" or Italian "Lingua". X is replaced with C & S, the S followed after the C.

Other alphabetical sounds represented by more than one letter; Compared to the pronunciation in English. The long A in the English word "Same" is represented by the letters AI. For example Isgalino word "Servai", which is the verb "to look" (Notice the similarities between servai & survey).

The long I in the English word "Friday" is represented by the letters EI. For example "Mei", which means "My" in English.

Another thing to take notice to is the O at the end of a word in Isgalino is pronounced like in the English word "No". But in a word, not at the end, it is pronounced as a standard Isgalino O.

Other letters connected to create new sounds; CH, when connected as shown "Ch" make the sound in the English word "Chocolate".

Another connected set of letters is, SH, when connected as shown "Sh" make the sound in the English word "Shock".

Also JH, when connected as shown "Jh" make the sound in English/French word "Entourage". The significance is with the pronunciation of the AGE at the end of the word. Or the pronunciation of "Garage" the same thing, AGE pronunciation.

=Basic Grammar= Isgalino uses a similar grammatical construction to Italian and Spanish. E.g. Nouns before Adjectives is a notable concept compared to many Germanic languages, including English, which put the Adjective before the Noun. The construction of grammar isn't unusual and follows many of the same rules as fellow Latin influenced languages. Although English influences grammatical construction also. In Isgalino phrases such as "the fact that", "the thing is" are used. These are more English phrases and reasoning rather than anything else.

Tense
Isgalino has its own way of expressing tense, past, present, future & present continuous(Usually used to express continuing, ongoing actions which are taking place at the moment of speaking or writing.)

To make a verb the past tense in Isgalino we add OS to the end.

To make a verb the future tense in Isgalino we add AS to the end.

To make a verb a present continuing we add GO to the end.

For example, "Michael thought he had a problem running". This would be, "Michael pensaios e problemi melicarinugo".

In the sentence "pensai" is the verb "think" so the past tense is "os". "Melicarinu" is the verb "run" so to make Melicarinu present continuing we add "go". =Dictionary= ...
