Cheryla Amirjom: Cheryl’s language of love.

Possibly worse than Poliespo!

The Culture:

Amirjom is spoken in the island of Amirijs, in the baltic sea between Kura kurgu hoiuala, Estonia, and Fårö, Sweden. It is 9.0332918 square kilometers in size.

The island has multiple languages, namely Onniz, Mansash, and Amirjom (the language discussed here!)

The natives are a different species, similar to humans, but descended from a lizard-like species.

 

Amirjispan (Amirjisians) are kind and supportive people, and will help you with anything. For this reason, Amirjis is a refuge for LGBTQIA+ folk and oppressed people.

Sadly this land is fictional. The real world is terrible, and the need to escape said terribleness creates escapism, and my escapism created this, so enjoy.

Sounds:

Amirjom has a large amount of sounds, and like most languages with a lot of sounds, some are difficult for English speakers.

This part of the guide will describe them in detail.

(please note that i don’t know most the languages referenced here, they’re examples from Wikipedia)

Some consonants can be syllabic

The stressed vowel is the first one, unless that’s el-[Cons.] (as in elses, elsen), and then it’s stressed in the second. (elsen is elsén, not élsen)

And that’s all.

Try pronouncing these words:

Rö (you)

Murn (i go)

Jaloxn (i frequently am)

Lør (when [x happens])

Dyrôn (down, bottom)

Ehn? (what?)

This is the writing system used natively:

Nouns

The word derivation system

it’s based on affixes.

These are the main ones:

Mya- → augmentative

Lis- → diminutive

-Bej → doer of _

-Rek → receiver of _

Fre- → Feminine

Tog- → Masculine

Nju- → a nonbinary gender unrelated to others

Insa- → a nonbinary gender between 2

3 words lose their final syllable with derivations: ami(ri), qe(na), and axi(ri)

You can combine words.

Opinion Affixes:

Case conjugation:

The unmarked is the NOMINATIVE

To conjugate the ACCUSATIVE case (the direct object) change the stressed vowel:

A → U

U → E

E → O

O → I

I → A

Ê → Uj

Ô → Uw

Ö → Ow

Ø → I

Y → E

You can use this pentagram to remember:

You can use a ‘ to distinguish it..

To conjugate the Genitive case (the possessive), it depends on the word’s final letter/diphthong

1: If the word ends in a consonant, put the last vowel/diphthong in the end:

Fêr → Frê

Fujr → Fruj

Ixom → Ixmo

Adefis → Adefsi

2: if it creates a consonant cluster of 4 or more consonants, or if you find it too hard to pronounce, add an “a” to the end:

Guk → Guka *Gku

Pan → Pana *Pna

Elsent → Elsenta *Elsnte

3: If a 1-syllable word ends in a vowel/diphthong, reverse it:

Na → An

Ro → Or

Lij → Jil

Soj → Jos

If it ends in a vowel/diphthong and is longer than 1 syllable, add -rm

Bansoj → Bansojrm

Every other case is made with affixes:

(the parenthesis parts are only if a word ends in a consonant)

-(e)n → locative, indirect object, allative

-d'insen → inessive, illative

-d'oten → ablative, elative

-ka → cause, from (sth). used for comparative sentences

-tsa → for (the benefit of)

-sa → like (sth)

-llak → property of (sb)

suf- → vocative

-cam/-kjan → cute vocative

mja- → big!!! :O

lis- → tiny 'v'

-(i)mas → cute diminutive

Now, try to guess the case of these words:

Adjectives:

All adjectives have one of these suffixes:

am- → very little

im- → kinda

um- → normally

on- → a lot

em- → too much

Comparatives:

For comparatives, use:

-xum → more/most

“Yal pan liyka myaxum”

Be-3p. Person Ant-from Big-more

People are bigger than ants

Adjectives are put before the noun.

Now, try to guess the meaning of these phrases:

Verb conjugation:

Every verb has a person suffix added to the end. If it doesn’t have -lox, it’s continuous.

Person:

Aspect/Tense:

These are the aspect/tense affixes:

3 words lose their final syllable with -bej and -(e)k: ami(ri), qe(na), and axi(ri)

Word order is free. It can be SVO, OSV, VOS, Alphabetical, etc.

Adverbs are put before the verb.

Ne means no

Now, try to guess the meaning of these sentences:

Numbers:

ordinals= +da

86th → qan-telda

Relatives:

Relative clauses are defined not with interrogatives, as in english, but with a special group of words:

La: original subject

E: original object

Lon: original locative

Ka: original cause

Tsa: original beneficial

Lør: original time

Din: “that”

Neml ri la = the (person) who is eating you

Pan neml e =  the (person) who a person is eating

Pan neml lon = where the person eats

Pan neml ka = why (the reason for which) the person eats

Pan neml tsa = why (the purpose for which) the person eats

Pan neml lør = when the person eats

Pan neml lør da’n omn = i am saying that the person eats

These are capable of receiving conjugation.

Translation (sort of)

There were once 6 sentient entities. Their names were “Nirö” “Axebaf” “Zen” “Slôas” “Nare”, and “Baf”.

One day, they were bored, so they started to create the world.

Nirö made plants and animals,

Axebaf made rock and mountains,

Zen and Nare made day and night,

Slôas made the sea and water,

and Baf made the planets.

Nirö loved Baf. They really loved them. so they put all the animals and plants on Baf's favorite planet, and they unified into a flower.

One day, a woman named ‘jøcenu øllac’ ate the flower, after her parent died and she killed small animals.

After one kill, she started crying, and hugged it. The animal came back to life, and øllac became a healer.
