Iraniya (Persian: اِیرَنِیَ (romanized: iraneya)), also known as Iraniyan, is a zonal auxlang designed to be the lingua franca of all people who speak Iranian languages e.g. Persian, Tajik, Pashto etc.
Influenced by many Iranian languages such as Persian and Tajik, it is slightly simplified and incorporates Iranian vocabulary from disparate origins and calques.
The vocabulary of Iraniya consists of 58% Iranian, 22% French, 12% English, and 8% other.

Phonology[]
Orthography[]
Iraniya has no standardized writing system, though the Arabic alphabet is the most used, but still not verified by the government. Linguists usually use the Aytuği romanization, while Tajiks usually prefer the Cyrillic alphabet for transliterating Iraniya words into Tajik.
Aytuği romanization[]
The Aytuği romanization is a version of the Latin alphabet based on the 1990s versions of the Latin Udi alphabet and the Uniform Turkic Alphabet.

Grammar[]
Nouns[]
Gender[]
Iraniya has 3 genders; masculine, feminine and neuter. Neuter is unmarked. If a noun is preceded by the suffix -o, it is masculine. If a noun is preceded by the suffix -i, it is feminine.
Cases[]
There are 2 cases in Iraniya: nominative and accusative. The nominative is unmarked, but when it's followed by the particle ra or suffix -a, it is accusative. The oblique cases are marked by postpositions.
- Nominative: şuh morda xord 'the dog ate the man'
- Accusative: mord şuha bizud 'the man pats the dog'
An additional case, possessive is formed with ezāfe.
- Possessive using ezāfe: kiteb-e Sam 'Sam's book'
Number[]
All nouns can be made plural with the suffix -he.
- kiteb (book)
- kitebhe (books)
Irregular plurals are also used e.g.
- nov (kind)
- onvo (kinds)
Predication[]
If a noun or an adjective has to be set in the 1st, 2nd or the 3rd persons, predication is used.
s | p | |
---|---|---|
1p | -em | -emam |
2p | -et | -etas |
3p | -eş | -eşat |
Pronouns[]
Subject pronouns[]
Pronouns share 3 persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd), and 2 numbers (plural, singular). This table below shows the list of pronouns, with their correspondences.
s | p | |
---|---|---|
1p | ma | mo |
2p | tu (familiar)
Şum (polite) |
şum |
3p | ū/vaj/es | onho |
The polite second person singular pronoun is capitalized in the first lettr to distinguish it from the second person plural. Iraniya is a pro-drop language, meaning that pronouns are often dropped off.
- (Ma) xub am. - I am good.
Object pronouns[]
The most common object pronouns of Iraniya are:
s | p | |
---|---|---|
1p | ma ra | mo ra |
2p | tu ra | şum ra |
3p | ū/vaj/es ra | onho ra |
Possessives[]
Possessives are made by using suffix clitics.
s | p | |
---|---|---|
1p | -ām | -āmam |
2p | -āt | -ātam |
3p | -āş | -ātaş |
Definiteness[]
These tables below show definiteness of a noun by the word 'sib' (apple).
def. | indef. | |
---|---|---|
sg. | sib | sibi |
pl. | sibhe |
Demonstratives[]
The most common demonstrative pronouns in Iraniya are:
Nominative | ||
---|---|---|
prox. | dist. | |
sg. | in sib | an sib |
pl. | inhe sibhe | anhe sibhe |
Accusative | ||
prox. | dist. | |
sg. | in ra sib | an ra sib |
pl. | inhe ra sibhe | anhe ra sibhe |
Locative | ||
prox. | dist | |
sg. | inça sibhe | ança sibhe |
pl. | inçahe sibhe | ançahe sibhe |
Verbs[]
The template of a verb is:
-1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(tense) | ROOT | (subject marker) | (object marker) | (tense) | (causative) | (infinitive) | (participle) |
Infinitives[]
Iraniya infinitives end in -dan or -tan. Some examples:
- xordan (to eat)
- nocūdan (to drink)
- raftan (to go)
- bazadan (to play)
There are two types of stems, the present stem, and the past stem. The past stem is easier to learn, it is formed by simply removing the -an suffix.
Participles[]
Participles in Iraniya usually distinguish between two types: present and perfect.
- The perfect participle is marked with the suffix -ti. It is active in transitive verbs but passive in intransitive verbs.
- xorti (eaten)
- nocūti (drank)
- The present participle is marked with the suffix -dar.
- xordar (is eating)
- nocūdar (is drinking).
Personal endings[]
Personal forms of verbs are usually formed with simple suffixes. The personal suffixes for the non-past are:
- -am first person singular 'I'
- -i second person singular 'thou'
- -et third person singular 'he/she/it'
- -em first person plural 'we'
- -ed second person plural 'you'
- -ent third person plural 'they'
The 2nd and 3rd persons plural may refer to singular persons for added respect or honorific. One major exception is God, for whom plural forms are never used.
The past tenses have very similar endings, except that the 3rd person singular is unmarked:
- -am first person singular 'I'
- -i second person singular 'thou'
- - third person singular 'he/she/it'
- -em first person plural 'we'
- -ed second person plural 'you'
- -ent third person plural 'they'
Objective endings[]
Singular | Plural | |
---|---|---|
1st | -am | -eman |
2nd | -at | -etan |
3rd | -aş | -entaş |
Tenses[]
Iraniya verbs can be conjugated into 3 simple tenses (present, past, future (although not all tenses can go through all three moods)) and 3 grammatical moods (indicative, subjunctive, imperative).
Indicative mood[]
Present[]
The present tense talks about the present time. It is formed by the present stem, the prefix bi-, then the personal ending.
- bixor (eat)
- ma bixoram (I eat)
- tu bixori (thou eateth)
- ū bixoret (he eats)
- mo bixorem (I eat)
- şum bixored (you eat)
- onho bixorent (they eat)
Imperfect[]
The imperfect talks about ongoing or continuous events that were completed in the past or present time. It is formed by the past stem, and adding the prefix mi-.
- mixordam (I was eating)
Present perfect[]
The present perfect is used to express a past event that has present consequences. It is formed by removing the infinitive suffix, adding the present, and adding the perfect participle. The personal marker is finally added.
- Ma bixoramti (I had eaten)
Pluperfect[]
The pluperfect, or past perfect, is used to refer to an action at a time earlier than a time in the past already referred to. It is formed by the perfect participle, and the personal marker.
- xortti (had eaten)
Future[]
The future is formed with the aux. verb xostan ('to want') in the present, and the past stem with personal endings.
- ma xosam xord - I will eat
- tu xosi xord - Thou will eateth
- ū xoset xord - He/she/it will eat
- mo xosem xord - We will eat
- şum xosed xord - You will eate
- onho xosent xord - They will eat
Subjunctive mood[]
Present[]
The present subjunctive is formed from the present stem with personal endings.
- Ma xorma - I may eat
- Mo xorem - we may eat
- Tu xori - thou mayst eat
Imperative mood[]
Present[]
The imperative mood is a mood that urges someone to do something. It is formed with the prefix bo-, then the present stem.
- boxor! (Eat!)
The negative imperative is formed with the prefix no-.
Conditional mood[]
The conditional mood is formed with agar (if), and the present stem, plus the personal endings.
- Agar keki xoramaş, agar xos tenbe karam.- If I ate the cake, I would be punished.
Copula[]
The irregular verb bodan 'to be', can be put into a copula using Iraniya's verb conjugation. This table shows the Iraniya copula.
Stems | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Present stem | bo- | ||||||
Past stem | bod- | ||||||
TAM | Person | ||||||
ma (I) | tu (thou) | ū/vaj/es (he/she/it) | mo (we) | şum (thou) | onho (they) | ||
Indicative | Present | am | i | ost | em | ed | ond |
Past | budam | budi | bud | budem | buded | budond | |
Imperfect | budejam | budei | bude/budest | budeim | budeid | buden | |
Present perfect | budim | budij | budos | budim | budid | budind | |
Pluperfect | bidem | bidei | bide | bideim | bidid | bidind | |
Future | xos am | xos i | xos ost | xos em | xos ed | xos ond | |
Continuous perfect | buditi | budijet | budit | budemiti | budemitti | buddond | |
Subjunctive | Present | amam | ije | oste | eme | ede | onde |
Imperative | Present | boma! | bodi! | bod! | bodem! | boded! | bodond! |
Causative | bomadān | bodidān | bodān | bodemān | bodedām | bodondān | |
Passive | şu am | şu i | şu ost | şu em | şu ed | şu ond | |
Participle | Present | budar | buder | budur | budor | budord | budondar |
Perfect | buti | buddi | boddi | boddej | budād | budānd |
Causatives[]
Causatives are valency-increasing operations that causes a predicate to do or be something e.g. I made him cry. The causative in Iraniya is formed with the suffix -ān to the normal or past stem.
- -xor- (eating), -xor-ān (making to eat), xordān (made __ eat)
Passive voice[]
The passive voice is a valence-decreasing voice where the object is done by the subject. It is done by placing the conjugation of the verb şudan 'to have' before the verb, and adding the personal ending.
- şu xor (is eaten)
- Mahijhe şu xord. (The fish were eaten.)
Adjectives[]
Adjectives typically follow the nouns they modify, using the ezafe construct. However, adjectives can precede nouns by derivational morphology e.g. xob-başt (lit. good luck) (lucky). Adjectives can come in many different orders after a noun and in this case an adjective at the end of a word, is use to generate more emphasis or suspense.
The comparative is marked with the suffix -tьr, and the superlative with the suffix -nitьr. The word 'than' is formed with the preposition az.
Prepositions[]
Iraniya prepositions generally behave like their counterparts in English, and they precede the object. They come in two classes:
- ezafe - requiring the use of the genitive construction
- non-ezafe - can be used standalone.
The non-ezafe class includes basic prepositions such as dar 'in'.
The ezafe class is a more numerous class that includes prepositions such as:
- āz - from
- ba - with
- bar - on
- bara-je - for
- be - 'to'
- bi - 'without'
- mānand-e - 'ike
- mesl-e - like
- ru-je - on
- tā - till, until
- tu-je - in
- zir-e - under
Syntax[]
Word order[]
Iraniya has a canonical word order of SOV. Modifiers usually follow the noun they modify.
Sentence | Johan | sibaj | xord. |
---|---|---|---|
Gloss | Johanne | apple-ACC-INDEF.SG | eat-PST |
Part | subject | object | verb |
Translation | Johanne ate an apple. |
If a direct object is included, then Iraniya has a word order of SODV (subject-object-direct object-verb).
Sentence | Johan | Sama | sib | did. |
---|---|---|---|---|
Gloss | Johanne | Sam-ACC | apple | give-PST |
Part | subject | object | direct object | verb |
Translation | Johanne gave the apple to Sam. |
Adjectival syntax and clauses[]
The adjective, using the ezafe construction, usually comes after the noun, and in some cases, it can often go before it to increase emphasis.
- zan-e noz (the cute girl)
Subordinate clauses usually come after co-ordinate clauses. Iraniya is also the few SOV languages to include prepositions.
Negation[]
Negation is formed by the prefix nā-.
- nāxordan (not to eat)
- nāxord (did not ate)
- nāmixord (was not eating)
- nāgorvi (not a cat)
Forming questions[]
The particle aj can make a yes-no question, and it comes after the verb. Other questions can be made by the word order of QOV (question word-object-verb).
- Ce tuje nam ost? - What's thy name?
Interrogative pronominals[]
The interrogatives of Iraniya are:
Determiner | cei | |
---|---|---|
Pronoun | Human | ce |
Non-human | ci | |
Out of many | cādm | |
Pro-adverb | Location | caç |
Source | za cec | |
Goal | cec | |
Time | ciç | |
Manner/state | cetr | |
Reason | cir |
Relative pronouns[]
There are two relative pronouns in Iraniya, on and cei. On is used for direct clauses (i.e. those where the relativised element is the subject of its clause or the direct object of an inflected verb rather than the copula bodan), while cei is used for indirect clauses.
- mord on ma didam - the man that I saw
Reduplication[]
Partial initial reduplication of some verbs (mainly onomatopoeic verbs) in Iraniya causes iterative or repeated actions.
- şuşudan (to gurgle)
- şuşuşudan (to gurgle repeatedly)
It can be also used as the mediopassive in some words e.g.
- bazdaştan (to stop)
- bazbazdaşt (it stopped (med.))
Derivational morphology[]
- bi- derives from noun X a phrase meaning 'without X'.
- -an derives from noun/phrase X a noun meaning 'place of X'
- na- derives from adjective X an adjective meaning 'the opposite of X' or 'lack of X'
- bā- derives from adjective X an adverb meaning 'X-ly'.
- -i derives from adjective X an adjective meaning 'act of being X'.
- di- derives from noun X an adverb meaning 'before/the previous X'.
- baz- derives from verb X a verb meaning 'to X again'
Examples[]
- bi-: āv (water), bijāv (without water)
- -an: nan (bread), nanan (bakery)
- na-: omid (hope), navomid (hopeless)
- bā-: kamel (complete), bākamel (completely)
- -i: durust (correct), durusti (correctness)
