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:
Pronoun | Past | Present | Future |
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".
Pronoun | Past | Present | Future |
I | Jungast | Jungas | Jungal |
You | Jungest | Junges | Jungel |
He/She/It | Jungist | Jungis | Jungil |
We | Jungaste | Jungass | Jungalle |
You (pl) | Jungeste | Jungess | Jungelle |
They | Jungiste | Jungiss | Jungille |
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(I spend not)
Belmorian:Jo ponas nah(I spend not)
Other words that travell to the end
Not only does the word not go to the end. Words such as Coh (Please), Cha (Thanks) and any time measurement will go to the end (Such as Khi which means now). However, all of them may come in the same sentance. Belmorian then orders them. The sentance Not now thanks would be: Khi Cha Nah (Now Thanks Not) With the time coming first, the polite addition going second and the negative going last.
Questions
Questions slightly change the word order, being one of the few circumstances where Belmorian brakes it own rules. The subject and the verb will switch. So to change Jo ponas. (I spend) to the question "Do I spend?" you would switch the subject and the verb to get "Ponas jo?". Similarly to change Jo jungas huh rho. (I run to you) to a question you switch the Jo and jungas (Subject and Verb) to create the question "Jungas jo huh rho?" (Do I run to you?"
