Revision as of 12:36, 29 April 2021
Yolon (natively iolon [ˈjoʟ̠ɤn]) is an intergalactic language used by many stars in the Local Group. It was created in a planet called Ianizz ([ʝanyʐ]), approximately in the year 3700 B.C., as an easy-to-learn language, so that civilizations could communicate easily, on the same language.
Yolon is used by 143 stars in the Andromeda galaxy, 73 stars in the Milky Way, 52 stars in the Triangulum galaxy, 12 stars in the LMC, and 5 stars in the SMC.
Writing
Yolon follows SOV (Subject Object Verb). In formal Yolon, uppercase letters are used to denote proper nouns or words that don't exist in the language (actually they're just normal letters with a bar over it, and I'm too lazy to put macrons over them)
Putting a dot over a consonant voices or unvoices them.
Rules
"C" cannot be at the start of a word. It also can't be used twice in a row.
Syllables
The syllable structure is C(K)(Y)V(Y)(D)(N).
K is either Z, V, R or N; Y is either I or U (making a [j] or [ɰ̠ʷ] respectively); D is any consonant except R, and N is an additional n at the end of a syllable, making the code nasalized, or making it a nasal stop, in the case of plosives.
It is needed to use either C, V or both.
Proper nouns don't need to follow these rules.
Stress
The stress of a word is in the first syllable of it's root syllable/word.
Pronunciation
Yolon does not have very complex pronunciation. The pronunciation is very different among dialects. The language is usually written, not pronounced, so it remains consistent among civilizations because the writing is very consistent.

Dictionary
Math
Yolon uses base 12. Numbers are mostly written in their short form (like 12 intead of twelve). However, numbers still have a pronunciation.
Pzak = number, Vupzak = negative number
0 = Pui, 1 = Pi, 2 = Pzi, 3 = Pza, 4 = Pa, 5 = Pzu, 6 = Pu, 7 = Pze, 8 = Pe, 9 = Po, 10/A = Pə, 11/B = Pzo
Pzal = equation
Pipzal = addition, Vupipzal = subtraction
Pzipzal = multiplication, Vupzipzal = division
Pzapzal = exponentiation, Vupzapzal = root, Vzopupzal = logarithm
2763 = 1723
2147482648 = 4BB2301B4
