The Belmorian Lanuage

The Belmorian Language is spoken by 2 billion Belmorians across The Belmore Family and about 50 million Belmorian ex-pats around the world. The most interesting thing to note about Belmorian is the absence of the word "the" replaced by merely a t onto the end of the word. It is a very strict language that rarely brakes it's rules.

Simple Pronouns & Verbs

As in almost all languages, Belmorian words change depending on who is in the nominative. Unlike other languages the sounds are very similar which means, though it is easy to learn hearing the differences can be hard.

Pronouns

Here is a list of the endings for verbs which fall under the following pronoun:

PronounPastPresentFuture
I-ast-as-al
You-est-es-el
He/She/It-ist-is-il
We-aste-ass-alle
You (pl)-este-ess-elle
They-iste-iss-ille

Verbs

Now you know how verbs change you must be able to find how they fit onto the end of verbs. Let us look at the same table for the verb to run which is "Jung".

PronounPastPresentFuture
IJungastJungasJungal
YouJungestJungesJungel
He/She/ItJungistJungisJungil
WeJungasteJungassJungalle
You (pl)JungesteJungessJungelle
TheyJungisteJungissJungille

And that is all you need to know on Pronouns and Verbs. There are no breakages of this rule.


Word Order

Again, the word order is very simple. This will stick to a rule and unless you are asking a question this word order will never change.

Simple Sentance Structure

The order for a simle sentance with only the nominative in it will be:
Subject/Verb
For a sentance with the nomnative doing something to the accusitive you will have the word order:
Subject/Verb/Preposistion/Object
In the dative (eg/ This is the book of the master)
Subject(book)/verb(is)/preposistion (of)/object(master)
The Dative in speech (eg/ This is my book)
Subject(book)/verb(is)/Pronoun(mine)

You can see that building Belmorian sentance structure is very simple. You will always have the subject first followed by the verb. Then you can add on the extras. Later on, we will look at complex sentance structures, especially when a comma is involved or a question is being asked.

Including the word not

If you wanted to add the negative to either of these it would be: Subject/Verb/Not
Subject/Verb/Preposistion/Object/Not
Subject/Verb/Pronoun/Not

You can see here, as in German that the word not is pushed right to the end. To the differences look at the phrases below; English:I do not spend
German:Ich kaufe nicht
Belmorian:Jo ponas nah

Other words that travell to the end

Not only
