Gabanese Translator

Phonology: uses all same 5 vowels aeiou, uses all same consonants aside from q, x, , v, z, c and j. All words are pronounced once you see the spelling so its easy so no very tricky nasals, fricatives and glottals. also its CV (consonant vowel), for example, all syllable has to be cv. so. De-ba. The main pronunciations are basically just like a normal talking language. ——————————————————————————————————————— Phonotactics: word can be any length nothing complex needed, stress always on first syllable. So like, DE-ba. No diphtongs, strictly CV, nothing else. ———————————————————————————————————————- Grammar: small note- all of these rules apply no question, also this is SVO (subject verb object) extra note- only you need the morphology markers if you wanna turn something into it, for example, run (falo), if you want it to be running then just make it “nefalo” however “see” (suwo) is already a verb so no need to add anything. last note- if a word doesnt fit in with the category bti rather IS the category then just pick the suffix-prefix on its own as its own word, however it all has to have a special marker before the word itself called “te” to distinguish it Last last note- THIS ALL DOESNT APPLY TO PROPER NOUNS if a word is like for example, on the opposite side, so in negation, its gonna start with “mo” so the word for good is “pa” so the word for bad is gonna be “mopa” because bad is opposite of good. It applies to anything, for example word for old is “mina” then the word for young is momina. If a word is like in action like a verb, then its gonna have to start with “ne” so for example the word for talk is “bala” so if its gonna be “talking” then its gonna be “nebala” so the word for poop is “teki” so if its gonna be “pooping” it’ll be “neteki”. If its plural, then its gonna start with “ fa” so the word for plant is “habari” so the plural for plant (plants) is gonna be “fahabari” if you want to talk about time tenses, then past is “mi” present is same thing no changes (for example pooped is gonna be mineteki but pooping is just same, get it?), future is “ma” so “will poop” is gonna be maneteki. If its talking about person like for example doctor, then its gonna start with “peli” so the word for health is “suki” so doctor will be “pelisuki” because doctor is a person for health. If its adjective then should start with “de” so health like stated before is “suki” so “healthy” will be “desuki” because healthy is an adjective of health. Get it? If its positive then no change, if its comparative its gonna end with “mo” if its superlative, it ends with “ma” if its talking about a place its gonna start with “pa” so remember health (suki) then the word for hospital would be “pasuki” because hospital is a place for health! Also there is gramatical gender! (Although not much), there is 4. Masculine (male, like in brother) Feminine (female, like in sister) Common (like in general, sibling) and neuter (no gender, like in table) so, for example. The word for sibling is “gapa” but the words for male is “la” and the word for female is “ba” so if you wanna describe brother its gonna be “lagapa” and if its sister its gonna be “bagapa” so in other words, if its talking about male, start with la, if its talking about female, start with ba. If its possesive, it’ll end with “du” for example. You is neli so “your” or “yours” will be duneli. There will be markers for an object, person/creature, adjectives, verbs, place and proper nouns before the word/subject/object itself. For a simple object, the marker is “a” simply pronounced as “ah” for a person/creature, the marker is simply “e” as in “eh”. for an adjective, the marker is “i” as in “ih” for a verb the marker is “o” as in “oh”. For a proper noun the marker is “u” as in “uh”. For place the marker is “y” as in “eeh”. This applies for context aswell, so if its saying “talk” but not referring that its doing something/being a real verb, then no need to add marker, get it? and it applies when REFERRING to something in those categories aswell even when not mentioning. Compound words are formed just as a normal compound word would be, —————————————————————————————————————————- Morphology: note- there is some part of morphology in the grammar description but honestly this part is for word making part of morphology. this is fun, so, there are alot of words that are not core/root words in the lexicon/vocabulary of gabanese, for example. Phone, how will you describe phone? Simple, the word for device is “fena” a phone is a small device, small is opposite of big and big is “fara” so negation/opposite is “mofara” which means small. So you could said “mofara fena” as phone! Another one! Car! So what? Luckily there is a vehicle in lexicon! The word for vehicle is “sakapi” so a car is just a passenger vehicle, but there is no passenger in lexicon! Luckily we have “person” so person means “ti” so car will mean: ti sakapi! Literally meaning “person vehicle” but it just tries to mean “car” about more! here’s something more tricky, “aurora borealis” now, aurora borealis is just northern lights, luckily, in the vocabulary we have both those words, north is “hila” however northern is an adjective so its gonna be “dehila” for “northern” then light has a word “salu” so lights (plural) will be “fusalu” (lights) so aurora borealis will mean “dehila fusalu” literally meaning “northern lights” but northern lights obviously just only means “aurora borealis” —————————————————————————————————————— Numerals: so, numbers are simple. “ zero- heni, one- dolo, two- seli, three- baku, four- legi, five- naki, six- sanu, seven- semu, eight- kubu, nine-nada, ten- daki, hundred- keni, thousand- moli, million- belo, billion- gaka, trillion- bodilu.” But how do you make more? Simple, for example, if its gonna be “11” then just say “dakidolo” as a compound word, saying it seperate just means “ten one” so 11-19 should be dakidolo, dakiseli, dakibaku, dakilegi, dakinaki, dakisanu, dakisemu, dakikubu, dakinada. However if its 20-99, then it should be opposite of that, so 20 would be selidaki, dakiseli would be 12. If you want it to be for example, 21, then it would be selidaki dolo. If its one hundred, simply keni, however if its 101 then just say “kenidolo” and so on, but about 110-199 then it would just be “kenidaki dolo” and so on, if its twenty just say “keniselidaki” if its 200 then just “dolokeni” and so on, get it? Im sure the rest is self explanatory after reading this. ——————————————————————————————————————— Shapes: this is super easy, for example, circle will just be “kapidolo” because if not compounded (kapi dolo) it will just mean “shape one” but if its compounded (kapidolo) it will mean “circle” since a circle has one side, this is side dependent, so semicircle is “kapiseli” triangle is “kapibaku” square is “kapilegi” and Im sure you get it now. ————————————————————————————————————————— Lexicon: 1.
