Introduction - Introducció - Insziò[]

Hoxlan [ōkslan]

This language was born in 2008. The 'mother' of this language is Glossa (gloßa). The big differences between these two languages are that in Glossa there were cases and declensions and in Hoxlan all they have disappeared.


Aquesta llengua va néixer el 2008. La seva "mare" és la glossa (gloßa). Les grans diferències entre l'una i l'altra és que en glossa hi havia casos i declinacions, mentre que en hoxlan tot això ha desaparegut. El moment en què l'hoxlan va "néixer" va ser quan va perdre tots els casos. Va haver-hi una llarga transició, ja que al principi, dels 5 casos existents: nominatiu, acusatiu, datiu, locatiu i genitiu; va passar a tenir-ne 3: nominatiu, acusatiu, genitiu; i posteriorment només dos: nominatiu, genitiu; fins que el genitiu va desaparèixer i per tant es pot dir que va néixer l'hoxlan tal i com és avui dia.


Glossa language was born between 2003–2004 and its grammar was written in 2005. However, in 2006 the language began to loose its cases (at the beginning: nominativ, acusativ, dativ, genitiv, locativ -> after: nominativ, acusativ, genitiv -> after: nominativ, genitiv -> finally: nominativ). When the language lost all its cases and all declensions, Hoxlan was born.


La llengua glossa va néixer entre el 2003-04 i la gramàtica fou escrita el 2005. No obstant això, a partir del 2006 va començar la seva evolució cap a l'hoxlan.

Diphthongs - Diftongs[]

ai = [aj] -> if it has the stress, we'll write: ą / si és tònic s'escriurà: ą

ei = [ej] -> if it has the stress, we'll write ę / si és tònic s'escriurà: ę

eu = [oj]

ou = [u] -> it will never has the stress / és sempre àton en una paraula

au = [aw]


If we need accentuate these diphthongs / Si s'han d'accentuar:


1. If they have the stress on the antepnultimate syllabe: ą / ę / ëu / âu

2. If they have the stress on the ultimate syllabe: ą / ę / éu-ëu* / àu

*éu = if the word ends in vowel / si el mot acaba en vocal

*ëu = if the word ends in consonant / si el mot acaba en consonant

th / ђ = [t]

ph = [f]

ch = [k]

ll = [l:] -> català: intel·ligència / English: intelligent

Other letters - Altres lletres[]

There are some letters which aren't accepted in the alphabet, but they appear in some foreign words.

Hi ha algunes lletres que no estan acceptades en l'abecedari, però que apareixen en algunes paraules estrangeres:

C: [k] = cantata / cowe

Q: [k] = obélisque

V: [v] = Venus / vodka / Univerzität

J: [ʒ] = jakuzy / jeep

H[]

This letter has different uses / Aquesta lletra té usos diferents:

- It was [h] (English: house) at the beginning, but nowadays it's mute / Al principi era aspirada, però ara és muda.

- It gets long the vowel which is in front / Allarga la vocal del davant: Wihm = [vi:m] / flehgeu = [fle:goj]

X[]

This letter has two different sounds: [x] / [ks]

- When it is at the end of the word, it sounds: [x] = Ix [ix] / Wihx [vi:x]

- When it is inside of the word, it souns: [ks] = taxy [taksi]


Ŵ[]

This letter souns like [w] (in English: water)

This letter, however, isn't very normal and it doesn't appear in a lot of words, only in a few. We can also write the diphthong OU in its place:

kiŵy = kïouy -> [kīwi]

ğaŵar = ğâouar -> [ʒāwar]

hardŵare = hardouare -> [ardwāre]

ëkŵite -> [ēkwite]

Žeŵs = Žeous -> [tsēws]

Eŵrïdyze = Eourïdyze -> [ewrīðize]

Basic grammar - Gramàtica bàsica - Atharda gramâtika[]

Accents - Axënž[]

In Hoxlan only the words which the stress on the antepnultimate and ultimate syllable are accentuated.

En hoxlan només s'accentuen les paraules esdrúixoles i agudes:

Examples / Exemples:


antepnultimate / esdrúixola = Antïgona / Söphokles / ëruken

ultimate / aguda = hibù

pnultimate / plana = Ysmene / žwäster


The vowels: ä - å - ų have always the stress, so that they don't need any accent.

Les vocals: ä - å - ų són sempre tòniques, per això no duen cap altre accent gràfic.


Types of accents[]

When the word has the stress on the antepnultimate syllabe, the vowels will be accentuated:

Quan la paraula sigui esdrúixola les vocals s'accentuaran:

 - Ë - Ï - Ö - Ü


When the word has the stress on the ultimate syllabe, the vowels will be accentuated:

Quan la paraula sigui aguda les vocals s'accentuaran:

1. If the word ends by vowel / Si la paraula acaba en vocal:

À - É - Ÿ - Ò - Ù

2. If the word ends by consonant / Si la paraula acaba en consonant:

À - Ë - Ï - Ö - Ü

Reflexive pronouns - Pronoms reflexius[]

In Hoxlan the reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself...) don't exist like in English, Catalan, Spanish, French or other language. If we want express this idea, we'll put at the end of the sentence the particle AN.

En Hoxlan els pronoms reflexius (em, et, es...) no existeixen com en anglès, català, espanyol, francès o en altres llengües. Si volem expressar la idea que l'acció del verb recau sobre el mateix subjecte, posarem al final de la frase la partícula AN.

Examples:

- I shave = Ix raše ųt an

- You shave = Tou raš ųt an

- He shaves = Is rašt ųt an

In catalan = jo m'afaito / tu t'afaites / ell s'afaita


Acusative pronouns (of persons)[]

These pronouns are the acusative form of the pronouns. In English they’re like “me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them).

In Hoxlan these pronouns go in front of the verb when it’s in passt tense (I did / I’ve done), pluperfect tense (I hat done), future (will have done), conditional (would have done) and in passt tense and pluperfect tense of subjunctive.

They go behind (or in front too) the verb when it’s in present tense, imperfect tense (I used to do), futur tense (will do), conditional tense (would do)

When the verb is in imperative or gerund, the acusative pronouns go always behind it.


Aquests pronoms són la forma acusativa dels pronoms de més amunt. En català serien "em, et, el/la/li/ho, ens, us, els/les".

En hoxlan aquests pronoms van davant del verb quan es troba en: passat, plusquamperfet, futur compost, condicional compost i passat i plusquamperfet de subjuntiu.

Van darrere (o també poden anar-hi davant) del verb quan es troba en: present, imperfect, futur i condicional.

Quan el verb es troba en imperatiu o gerundi els pronoms van sempre darrere seu.

Combination of acusative pronouns[]

In a sentence we can find two acusative pronouns: person and thing. For example: I give you the present = I give it to you

En una frase podem trobar dos pronoms acusatius: personal i de cosa. Per exemple: Jo et dono això a tu = Jo t' ho dono


In Hoxlan we put first the acusative pronoun of person and behind it the acusative pronoun of thing. They go always together.

ME + DI = when the verb begins in consonant: me'd / ...in vowel: me d' / ...ends in consonant: -me'd / ...ends in vowel: 'm-den

ME + DA = when the verb begins in consonant: me'd / ...in vowel: me d' / ...ends in consonant: -me'd / ...ends in vowel: 'm-dan

ME + DO = when the verb begins in consonant: me'd / ...in vowel: me d' / ...ends in consonant: -me'd / ...ends in vowel: 'm-don

The pronouns "te / se / še" are like "me" = te'd / te d' / -te'd / 't-den

WE + DI = when the verb begins in consonant: we'd / ...in vowel: we d' / ...ends in consonant -we'd / ...ends in vowel: 'f-den

WE + DA = when the verb begins in consonant: we'd / ...in vowel: we d' / ...ends in consonant -we'd / ...ends in vowel: 'f-dan

WE + DO = when the verb begins in consonant: we'd / ...in vowel: we d' / ...ends in consonant -we'd / ...ends in vowel: 'f-don

WEX + DI = when the verb begins in consonant: wex di / ...in vowel: wex d' / ...ends in consonant: -wex-den / ...ends in vowel: -wex-den

WEX + DA = when the verb begins in consonant: wex da / ...in vowel: wex d' / ...ends in consonant: -wex-dan / ...ends in vowel: -wex-dan

WEX + DO = when the verb begins in consonant: wex do / ...in vowel: wex d' / ...ends in consonant: -wex-don / ...ends in vowel: -wex-don

The pronouns "wel / welz" are like "wex" = wel di / wel d' / -wel-den / -wel-den
