Background Info

Goliushi, pronounced as /gɔːlʉsi/ (phonetic spelling for people who don't know the IPA: g-aw-loo-see), is an artificial language that has letters from many scripts, mainly Cyrillic and Greek, which makes it some kind of hybrid-alphabet language. In Goliushi, many words have different alternative pronunciations based on personal preference. The Goliushi conlang was made long before the Goliushia micronation was made, despite Goliushi being the language of Goliushia. Despite Goliushi being very likely to go extinct, there is a plan to publish everything in the language online, so people can carry my legacy and learn Goliushi. I hope others, like you, can keep the Goliushi Language from going extinct. However, unfortunately, the challenges I will have to face are not done. I use a Onedrive subscription, and after I die, who will pay it? I hope that I can make a donation-based thing to do so. I am thinking about a GoFundMe called "The Goliushi Language Preservation", which I will Request 10 or so dollars a month from donations, to help pay for it even after I die, which then the GoFundMe will move to a family account. But, I still need some time to think. Goliushi is Russian inspired, so Goliushi is a descendant of a Slavic language, as its parent languages includes Russian, which is a Slavic language. Greek is also one of the main inspirations for the Goliushi Language, so Goliushi is also a Hellenic language descendant, too. Goliushi is also a descendant of a romance language, being a descendant of Spanish, as Goliushi has the letter "ñ". It also has a similar letter, "n̈", for a n͡ɲ sound. However, that's just the letters, and Goliushi's words are usually not derived from anything. Goliushi is North American in origin, or started with a North American as the creator of Goliushi. What makes Goliushi special is how it has more than 500 consonants, which is why I believe it can be considered an exotic or unusual language. Even though Goliushi may seem like a jokelang, Goliushi isn't a jokelang in any way, Goliushi is 100% serious, as a partial artlang, but mostly a normal conlang as the motive for making Goliushi. Goliushi is also an autislang, a term for a conlang made by an autistic person, as the creator of Goliushi, is autistic. The term autislang was in fact created by him. Its words for God and Jesus are the exact same in pronunciation as another name for God or Jesus, because Goliushi, the creator of Goliushi, is a Christian, and doesn't want to potentially give one of them a name which they shouldn't be called. If you want to know what the words for them are, go to the "Religious Words" section. The reason why I put these religion-related parts are because I think they could be interesting to some. It is also related to Hebrew, English, German, Armenian, Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, Spanish, and old English, but not as much Greek or Cyrillic. It was made by the user whose useename is also Goliushi, named after the language.

Classification and Dialects

None, Goliushi does not have Dialects. However, it could possibly in the future, if others make Dialects, or cause Goliushi to have Dialects. It isn't in any language family either. It's an isolated language, like Pirahã, Tiwi, or Kanoê

Phonology (too much, over 500 consonants)

(Keep in mind; most audio samples go like [ (sound) (sound)a ], so when the sound repeats with an ah,, it's not a part of the actual sound)

Some non-IPA sounds (Please don't copy, I want these sounds to be exclusive to Goliushi, along with the "*"s, or in other words, any sound with *)

Voiceless Yridgel Fricative (alveolar, but the lip is tucked between the teeth)

Garanye sounds (just apical velar, basically)

Voiceless Lateralized Outer-Lip Fricative Trill (hard to explain), (the "lateral" part is actually due to the tounge being placed like when you make an Alveolar lateral approximant sound)

Lower-Lip Only Bilabial Trill (self-explanatory)

s(voiceless alveolar sibilant fricative), but with a lot of saliva on the tip of the tounge

Voiceless Curled/Rolled Tounge Fricative (some people can't do, if you can't, just replace it with θ)

Phonotactics

/ŋ/ is always after /ɪ/

/v/ is almost always labialized

/R/ only occurs Co-articulated usually, and is rarely ever by itself

All sounds are pronounced separately/with space in between

Goliushi has click consonants, but they don't have velar closure

Most non-nasalized approximants can be voiceless

Labialization is very common in Goliushi, and labialized sounds are recognized as separate letters from their non-labialized equivalents (e.g. the sounds g, gw, s, sw, th, and thw all have their own letters)

Voiced plosives' voicing can become voiced to Nasreaky/Nasal Creaky Voice transitions instead when a special diacritic, the Gwararing, is above the letter. (e.g. with diacritic: ɡ͢ɡ̰̃, b͢b̰̃, d͢d̰̃ without diacritic: g, b, d)

Goliushi's Implosive inventory is very small due to the difficulty of the sounds

Goliushi's /R/ is much more harsh and "growl"-like than the French "r", or any usual Uvular trill for that matter. However, I think even though Goliushi's Uvular trill is more harsh, it still sounds pretty good. I believe that Goliushi's Uvular trill may be more aspirated, or maybe it's more tense, I don't know why it sounds different than usual. However, this is optional, and a normal Uvular trill is okay too.

Different people will pronounce some sounds differently depending on how they perceive the audio samples. Just make sure you don't pronounce two or more letters the same, and try your hardest to make your best theory on how the sound could be pronounced, use as much methods you can to get the best guess you can think of. It doesn't need to be perfect, it only needs to be the best you can do. This may make Goliushi seem even harder to learn, but as said earlier, it does not need to be perfect, just your best attempt. The clues you can use are: all of my made-up places of articulation are used in Goliushi, I don't stop making sounds in a specific place of articulation until I make a new one, the further down you scroll, the earlier in the Goliushi alphabet the sounds with it are, and listen closely (if it sounds like it's in a different place of articulation, it might be, like if it is the same type of sound as a one you saw recently, but sounds a bit different). Yet Again, NEVER pronounce two or more letters' sounds the same EVER.

Goliushi's Implosives aren't actual Implosives, instead, they're what I call "Repliblosives", which are pulmonic consonants that are made to sound similar to Implosives, using tone to replicate the sound of an Implosive. My best attempt to explain what makes an Implosive and repliblosive different is

Implosives = mixed pulmonic and ejective consonants

Repliblosives = pulmonic consonants that manipulate tone to replicate an Implosive sound.

/ʟ̝/ is weakly fricated, so it can also be described as a weakly fricated /ʟ/.

Bidental coarticulation is relatively common in Goliushi.

Goliushi is the only language to usually use Rirops. An example of a Rirop in Goliushi is /ɾ͡ⱱ͜ɾ͡ⱱ/.

Palatalization is very common in Goliushi.

Tense-variation-altering

In Goliushi, some words have different variations for present, past, and future tense, but, some words don't have different variations, so past, present, and future tense are not differentiated/don't have different variations. However, this only applies to Verbs only.

Glyph Origins

Just like most other languages, Goliushi has letters that are derived from a letter from a different language. Here are the connections between Goliushi and other, older writing systems:

Д is the Cyrillic letter "De", which is derived from the greek letter Delta/Δ

Ę is derived from the Latin letter "E", which is derived from the Greek letter Epsilon/E

π is derived from the lowercase Greek letter pi (not to be confused with the number pi), and the Greek letter pi is derived from the Phoenician letter Pe

Gz is derived from the Cyrillic letter "Zhe", whose origin is currently unkown

З is the Cyrillic letter "Ze", which is derived from the Greek letter Zeta

И and Й are the Cyrillic letters "I" and "I with breve", which are derived from the Greek letter "Eta"

Ing is also derived from Cyrillic letter "I", which is derived from the Greek letter "Eta"

Aoo is derived from the Greek letter Psi/Ψ, which, just like the Cyrillic letter "Zhe", is currently unkown when it comes to their origin

K is derived from the Greek letter Kappa.

Л and Л> are derived from the Cyrillic letter "el", which is derived from the Greek letter "lambda"

T is derived from the Greek letter Omega, yes, I know that makes no sense

S is derived from the Latin letter S, which is derived from the Greek letter Sigma

Th is derived from the Latin letter T, which is derived from the Greek letter Tau

У, Ue, Ih, Uz and Ug are derived from the Cyrillic letter U, which is derived from the Greek letter Upsilon

Ks is not derived from anything

Ж is derived from the Cyrillic letter Zhe, which is unknown when it comes to their origin

Sh's origin isn't known.

Nv is derived from the Greek letter "Gamma"

G is derived from the Greek letter "Gamma"

Sw is the Cyrillic letter "Sha"

Numbers and Math Symbols

Numbers

Goliushi, along with having its own writing system, has its own numerals. They are: Gin (0) Zirna (1) thez (2) ere (3) gregre (4) ranor (5) YinYu (6) uninov (7) alog (8) sarg (9) athun (10)

Operations and Miscellaneous Symbols

Unlike numbers, Goliushi uses the exact same symbols for every-math-related thing besides numbers. The only difference is that they have different names.

Months

Goliushi has 15 months, instead of 12. The new months are in between July and August, January and February, March and April, and October and December, respectively.

Syllabary-like properties

As stated in the Type Of Language, Goliushi is a language that I would call an "Alphabetical Slight Syllabary, meaning it is mostly Alphabetical, but does have a very, very small amount of letters that are like what a Syllabary would have, despite being mostly Alphabetical. Goliushi has separate letters for the following syllables:

θɻoʊ, pronounced the exact same as the English word "throw"

pɑ

gɑ

ɻɑ

kɑ

ɪŋ

oks

əz

əg

ɝf.

Ihotas

Goliushi has many "Ihotas", which are: И, Й ("soft" Ihota),

Ing ("Ihota Ing"), among others.

Optional Allophones

Another thing that makes Goliushi unique is its optional Allophones. Just in case you're confused, an "optional Allophone", as what I call it, is an alternative pronunciation of a specific phoneme, A.K.A. an Allophone, but instead of being a must, it is a choice, or, alternatively, is an Allophone that is optional instead of being a requirement. Goliushi has the following optional Allophones:

/f/ can be pronounced as /ф/ if the speaker so chooses

/p/ and other voiceless plosives can be aspirated if the speaker so chooses

/ɪ̃/ can be pronounced as a non-nasalized /ɪ/ if the speaker so chooses

/ɑ/ can be pronounced as /æ/ if the speaker so chooses

Tone-Phoneme Effect

The tone-phoneme-effect, as what I call it, is yet another unique property that the Goliushi Language has. What the tone-phoneme-effect is, is how a large majority of Goliushi's non-IPA sounds are correctly pronounced with an extremely low or high pitch. This, however, does not make Goliushi a Tonal language, as in an actual Tonal language, depending on the tone in which you say a word, it completely changes the meaning that specific word, but, in Goliushi, you can say a word in every single possible tone, and you would still be saying the exact same thing when it comes to the meaning. Instead, some phonemes are just meant to be pronounced in a specific pitch, but words can be said in every single possible tone, and the word would be the exact same constantly, unlike Tonal languages, where that logic wouldn't apply. So, no, Goliushi ISN'T a Tonal language, some specific phonemes are just meant to be pronounced in a specific pitch.

The Goliushi script/writing system

Despite Goliushi taking letters from many scripts, I don't classify Goliushi's alphabet to be in any specific writing system. Instead I say that Goliushi has its own little script, the Goliushi script, which as mentioned earlier, contains letters from other, pre-existing scripts, but, the Goliushi script also has its own, new letters which are not derived from anything. The reason why I added in a category specifically for the Goliushi script is so when I do publish Goliushi, others can make their own conlangs using the Goliushi script. I will appreciate if anyone makes their own language with the Goliushi script, because it would tell me that others care just as much about Goliushi as I do, which gives me hope that the Goliushi Language and its legacy will forever live on. Getting back on track, Goliushi has no capital, or lowercase letters, meaning that a letter will look the same no matter if it's at the beginning or end of a sentence.

History of Goliushi

Goliushi was originally a Google Photos album, but was accidentally deleted very quickly. Due to this, a large majority of the letters Goliushi once had were lost forever. After this, Goliushi was remade from scratch, as I have trouble remembering and forgot everything, however, this caused something amazing: the new Goliushi Language became so much more than the original could ever be. Now, the old Goliushi Language is a like a shell of its new version, like a grain of salt compared to a galaxy. Or, in a less metaphorical and figurative way, the new Goliushi Language has evolved to become so much more than what it once was. I can’t stop feeling proud of how far this once-small language has come.

Flag/Flag of Goliushi/Goliushi Flag

Just like how Esperanto has its own little flag, Goliushi has one, too. Well, two of them.

Usual Flag (no longer used)

Color scheme

Goliushi's flag consists of colors that are very close to each other in the color wheel.

Colors:

Bright Yellow (corners)

Light Orange (top stripe)

Normal Orange (bottom stripe)

White (star)

Star Shape

Unlike usual stars you would see on a flag, Goliushi's star has a very unusual shape.

The shape is best discribed as a 4 point star, but with extra points right next to the main 4.

New Goliushi Flag

The full version of the Goliushi flag is the same, but with more detail.

Color Scheme

Same colors as the usual version of the Goliushi flag, but with the additional colors:

Navy Blue (Nordic Cross)

Brown-Red (Background)

Yellow (Squares)

Aquamarine (Inner Part of Cross)

Gray (Bottom Background)

Visual Description

The full Goliushi flag resembles that of a Nordic flag. The cross is navy blue, while the background. An Aquamarine line goes through the Cross, in varying width, which is cut off at around the center of the cross. The lower part of the flag has a gray background, instead of the red-brown that the upper part uses. The flag is inspired by the flags of: Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Åland Islands, Faroe Islands, and many others Nordic flags.

Old Goliushi

Old Goliushi, also known as "Pre-Delete Goliushi", "Past Goliushi", and "Former Goliushi", was an artificial language that used letters from many different writing systems, mainly Cyrillic and Greek. There isn't much that can be said, as after old Goliushi's accidental deletion, I can't remember much, except for it used to have letters called "Lambda", along with an Uz looking letter.

Reason Why Goliushi Lacks an Alveolar, Dental, Denti-Alveolar, Postalveolar or Retroflex Trill

If you look at Goliushi's phonology, you may notice that Goliushi has two rhotic trills, but neither of them are a dental, denti-alveolar, alveolar, alveolo-palatal, Postalveolar, or retroflex trill, instead, Goliushi's two rhotic trills are interdental and Uvular. But, why? Well, it's easy to explain: me, the person who made Goliushi, for some reason, can't roll my r's, and the closest I can ever get is an interdental one. So, I gave Goliushi an interdental and Uvular trill as a replacement for the Rolled r.

If you are having trouble understanding, the reason why is simply because I can't roll r's, the closest I can get is an interdental trill, so I didn't give Goliushi a rolled r, because I literally can't do it.

Goliushi has multiple rhotic consonants, Yotic (j-like) consonants, and bretic (br-like) consonants. Goliushi's rhotics are: retroflex approximant, nasalized alveolar tap, alveolar tap; interdental trill, nasalized Uvular approximant, retroflex tap, Uvular trill, and dental approximant. Goliushi's "j-like" sounds are: Voiced palatal approximant, voiceless palatal approximant, nasalized Voiced palatal approximant, nasalized voiceless palatal Approximant. Goliushi's "br-like" sounds are: voiced bilabial trill, Uvular-bilabial trill, and others.

Word Types

In Goliushi, there are many types of words. They are:

Verbs: actions

Nouns: a person, place or thing

Adjective: describes a noun

Adverb: describes a verb

Pronoun: replaces nouns

Article: introduces a noun

Nththonthth: an article, but the noun they introduce is subject to a physical action verb

Gqhthwyuzto-A-Ps: indicates a sound at the name time as another

Safety

This may sound silly, but Safety is something you should consider when speaking Goliushi. This is because some Goliushi consonants involve spitting. So, I have made a way to keep others safe: when you get to a sound which involves spitting, put yourself in the position that you do when you cough or sneeze.

Derived Terms

Believe it or not, Goliushi actually has some terms that are directly derived from its English name. Here they are:

Goli (prefix), means "having some connection, relation, origin to Goliushi". Example: Golirooms (Backrooms with Goliushi numbers instead)

Goliushia (Noun), means "the micronation of Goliushia". Example: I live in Goliushia

Goliushi Guy (pseudonym), means "a nickname for the creator of Goliushi, given to by himself". Example: Goliushi Guy is very random

Goliushi Camaderie (Noun or song name), has 2 meanings;

(Joke, slang), means "good". Example: That dog is so Goliushi Camaderie

(Song name), a song in SaELiT stage 3. Example: I can't stop laughing about how Goliushi Camaderie has a beat drop! A literal album about a disease that eats your brain and slowly brings you into pure horror and an eventual unconscious state has a beat drop!

Goliushi Nordic Cross (noun), means "the Christian cross on the Goliushi flag'. Example: The Goliushi Nordic Cross is not like the Nordic Cross in other flags.

Religious Words

This is something I didn't want to do, but I had to at some point.

Jesus Christ, or יְהוֹשֻׁעַ is referred to as King, because it's the only Biblical name of Jesus that I could perfectly transliterate into Goliushi

God ‎‎ is referred to as God, because the name has all of its sounds also in Goliushi

If you are curious about where I got these names from:

King for Jesus Christ came from how according to one source, Jesus has been referred to as the King of Kings.

God for God, you can peice that together already.

Linguistic Oddities And Uniqueness

As you can imagine, Goliushi is an extremely unusual and strange language. Here are some of the weird features that the Goliushi conlang has:

Lack of onomatopoeias: unlike most of the languages in existence, Goliushi has an extreme lack of onomatopoeias. For example, the Goliushi word for "bark", isn't meant to sound like the sound it represents. In other words, Goliushi has a lack of onomatopoeias, with what would be onomatopoeias in other languages, in Goliushi, are not onomatopoeias and are instead not related to the sound at all.

500+ consonants: self-explanatory. I've already explained it a lot earlier

Letters making one phoneme only: like that of Uniform, Goliushi's letters all make only one sound, and one sound only.

Adaptability: in Goliushi , a speaker can adjust many parts of pronouncing words to their desire, and the varying perceptional Allophones different people may do.

Detail: most languages have a simple alphabet, where the most lines you will need to make a letter is like 5-8. However, Goliushi's letters are much more varied with the level of detail each letter has. A few letters are at most 5-8, but most are at least 9.

Words: most languages give all words at least one vowel sound. However, there's a few languages that have words without any vowels, which is called a consonant cluster. Yes, there are a pretty good amount of languages that have at least one word that is just a consonant cluster, but it's rare. But, more than a quarter of all Goliushi words are consonant clusters. Like "RÑRÑ", /ɻɲɻɲ/, meaning "to jump into a pond/puddle/ice" or the noun "jump".

Strange Contrasts

Goliushi has some unusual phoneme Contrasts.

Goliushi Contrasts /ɲ/ and /n͡ɲ/

Goliushi Contrasts /r̪͆/ and /r̪̝͆/

Goliushi Contrasts /j/ and /jj/

Listen to the provided audio samples of my pronunciation of said sound.

Odd-Plural-Variation

The Odd-Plural-Variation, as what I call it, is an unusual property of the Goliushi Language. The Odd-Plural-Variation is how a lot of Goliushi words don't have any distinction between Singular and Plural.

Question Parts As Single Words

Do You = TИДגЙ

Yes or No = Daooz

Do You Agree = Uedn

Goliushi People

Goliushi people do indeed exist, but what makes someone a Goliushi person is very ambiguous, with the only criteria being "if you speak Goliushi, you're a Goliushi person". Due to this, the culture and religion of the Goliushi people greatly vary, some are Christians, some atheists, some of other ones. The origin of the Goliushi people also vary, as a Goliushi person can be from China, Russia, USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Egypt, and anywhere else, and it won't matter to the Goliushi people. However, the Goliushi people aren't a culture, they're a group of enthusiasts.
