Yarphese

Yarphese, based slightly on Vietnamese, was created by Tranh Chup-yar for his country The Grand Yarphese Republic. It is split strictly into syllables.

=Setting= Forces of the Vietnamese Liberation Army had invaded and conquered the Vietnamese city of Saigon in 1999 before electing Aaron Tranh as premier. Tran found that he had the daunting task of deciding what should be "official." His empire was not complete, but once it was, he would have to universalize a language. He could not find one that could be learnable for his entire empire in a reasonable amount of time, so he conlanged Yarphese, which he also believed would speed up speech and typing and help the country to become more efficient.

Glottalization
Glottalization is used to change a noun to a verb. It is marked with a dot under the letter (ạ), and can be used for any tone. =Basic Grammar= The grammar in Yarphese is extremely simple. Any syllable is either a noun or a verb. A unique aspect is that there are no focusing constructions. The word order is verb-subject-object, with the subject and object separated by a short pause (written with a comma). There is no word for "and," and it is omitted. Some grammar-oriented examples:

Rạ́ch Dıfar, Pầng. The apple is falling onto the cow (fall apple, cow).

Pụ̂i ðyafu dụ̀ạ̀, tø̀, u. The durian that broke the cup flew to nowhere (flew durain broke, cup, nowhere).

Pụ̂i ðyafu dụ̀ạ̀ tø̀, u. The durian that the cup broke flew to nowhere (flew durain broke cup, nowhere).

Final consonants
Final consonants convey the aspect of a noun or verb. =Example text=

Yarphese:

Mhậ́ rọ́ẹ́fạ́ qụ̂ậng phêı,

Chạ yár, thạ̀i hyoefar.

Sậ́k wọ qà û́ấ.

Thị̂́ch sô, yár paefr.

Translation:

Bright sunny nation reaching the end of its toils,

Your greatness stretches past the eternal Gulf of Thailand.

The day is breaking above the equatorial skies.

All are continuously listening to great eternal words.

From the "Yarphese Pledge," the Yarphese national anthem.
