Abitîrii

Welcome to the page teaching my conlang Abitîrii. Abitîrii means tounge of the Abîtir. For this reason in is often called Abitir or Abîtir.

Abitir is separated into two dialects. There is High and Low Abitir. By High and Low, we aren't talking about location, but about dialect. High is the more scholarly form. Compare 'Thou art small' is to English as High Abitir is the Abitirii. You see? It's the formal version.

High Abitir (Abytîrii K'tç'qha)

-High Abitir is a tonal language. It has three tones: rising, falling, and level.
Rising: á é ý ó ú
Falling: à è ì ò ù
Level: a e y o u

-It has the nasals ã and õ (nasal a and nasal o respectively).

-Abytîrii K'tç'qha has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.

-The sound made by i is usually represented by y, unless it is ii or the falling I tone.

-All accented vowels are pronounced level.

Standard Abitir (Abitîrii Ðänn)

-Standard Abitir has the falling tone and the level tone, but not the rising tone.

-It also has the nasals ã and õ (nasal a and nasal o respectively).

-All nouns are neuter, unless they are referring to a particular gender (ie nadii (man) in masc. and nadaa (woman) is feminine.)

HISTORY

Abitîrii is a language that has been under construction for the last two years. I've tried to create about 6 conlangs, all of which have fallen through. Abitîrii was created, from the ashes of the other conlangs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abitîrii is an abstract language, the High dialect is somewhat like Vietnamese, and the Standard version is more like a cross between German and French.

ALPHABET

Vowels:
A father
 bat
Ä may
E met
I see (only in Abitîrii Ðänn)
Y see (only in Abytîrii K'tç'qha)
Î sit
Ï eye
O fawn
Ö moe
U moo
Ü you

Accents:
à is the nasalized a.
Õ is the nasalized o.
á é ý ó ú are the rising tone (only in Abytîrii K'tç'qha)
à è ì ò ù are the falling tone (found in both dialects)

Consonants:
C is always soft
Ç is pronounced like chair
Ð is pronounced like thought
G is always pronounced hard (good)
H is always silent
J is pronounced like mirage
Qh is like K, but aspirated
Qu is pronounced like queen
R is pronounced like the French R
S is pronounced sit in front of

All other consonants are pronounced the same.

Note: There is no w, x, v, or z.

PRONUNCIATION NOTES:

îî, and ïï are the same as ï

ii is pronounced like i/y

uu, and üü are the same as ü

aa, ââ, and ää are all pronounced like ä

ai is pronounced like ä

aî is pronounced like ï

ao and äu is pronounced ow

au and eau are pronounced like ö

' (apostrophe) means something like uh. (Like in duh). Or mile (pronounced in gaeilge) or like meine (in German).

TÇ is pronounced like chair.

Basics

Pronouns[/

I: e We: Otros
You (inf): ðu You (pl.): ustes
You (fml): Uste
He: ii They: ã
She: aa
It: õ

These are also the suffixes for conjugation. So: ater (I speak)
I: atere We: aterotros
You: aterðu You: aterustes
You: ateruste
He: aterii They: aterã
She: ateraa
It: aterõ

If the verb ends in a vowel, the vowel is deleted and the the suffix is applied. So, maðe (to live). They live=maðã.

However do you see the problem? Yep, I live is maðe, which is the same as the infinitive! To keep this from happening, you change it to mað-è (the falling tone) and add a hyphen.

Possession

The possessive suffix is different according to gender.

Mas -gúm (-gum in Ðann)
Fem -gùm
Neu -gâ

Dante's book

Dant'gúm laover

CONJUNCTIONS

and - ut't
because - körpp
therefore/hence/thus - õntor
before - niä
after - därniä
since - däð
like (seems)- oqh'n
unless - dämana
although - morðerf
while - kâr'

Qhi soii Dant'gúm Laover ut't v'è ii .

(That is Dante's book, and I see it).

SENTENCE STRUCTURE

When writing Abitîrii, there are a few different rules.
1) Qhi soii DanT'gúm Laover ut't v'è ii . When you put an end mark, ;, or :, you must have a space before and after the symbol. So Qhi soii DanT'gúm Laover ut't v'è ii. Isn't correct. Qhi soii DanT'gúm Laover ut't v'è ii . See there is a space.

2) Before you use a câbarõ (') you must capitalize the preceding letter. So Dant'gúm isn't correct. It should be DanT'gúm.

QUANTITY WORDS
In K'tç'qha you ALWAYS use quantity words. In Ðänn you don't use the singular or the plural, but you use the 'all' forms.

Singular:
M: go
F: fai
N: tiu
No suffixes.

Plural:
M: gi
F: ni
N: ta
When you make a plural you must also add the proper suffix:
M: -at
F: -in
N: -i
If the word ends in a vowel then they become -bat -bin and -bi.

Some:
M: gi-go
F: fai-ni
N: tiu-ta
Use the plural suffixes.

All
M: bii/by
F: bao
N: bâ
No suffixes.
