==General Historical Notes==
 +
Footballian developed originally from the south Gallic languages in the Pyrenees.  It was changed drastically by the influence of the Romans, and developed along the lines of Portuguese.  It remained unique, however, and grew far apart from other Romance languages especially after the migration to [[Atlantian Oceania]].

 +
 
 +
==Verb Formation==
 +
All verbs end in -or.  There are no subject pronouns in Footballian, so the verbs show the gender of the subject in addition to what is shown in most Romance languages.
 +
 
 +
===Gender Signs===
 +
Gender signs are added to the front of the infinitive.  Note that they are added to first and second person also.  So, if the speaker was in first person and was feminine, the verb would begin with a-.  When it is a group of multiple genders, the masucline takes dominance.
 +
{|
 +
| width="50%" |
 +
* Masculine
 +
* Feminine
 +
* Neuter
 +
| width="50%" |
 +
* o-
 +
* a-
 +
* e-
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
===Verb Endings===
 +
 
 +
====Active Voice====
 +
 
 +
=====Present Tense=====
 +
The present tense indicates that something is happening now, whether it be currently going or not.
 +
Example: He is walking, he walks, he does walk.
 +
{|
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* 
 +
* 1st Person
 +
* 2nd Person
 +
* 3rd Person
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Singular
 +
* -eb
 +
* -al
 +
* -u
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -ebs
 +
* -als
 +
* -us
 +
|}
 +
Therefore, he is walking would translate to: ''Okaminu.''
 +
 
 +
=====Future Tense=====
 +
The future tense indicates that something will happen in the future.
 +
Example: She will walk, she will have walked, she will be walking.
 +
{|
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* 
 +
* 1st Person
 +
* 2nd Person
 +
* 3rd Person
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Singular
 +
* -iteb
 +
* -ital
 +
* -itu
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -itebs
 +
* -itals
 +
* -itus
 +
|}
 +
Therefore, she will walk is translated as: ''Akaminitu.''
 +
 
 +
=====Past Tense=====
 +
The past tense indicates something happened in the past.
 +
Example: He walked, he was walking, he did walk, he had been walking.
 +
{|
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* 
 +
* 1st Person
 +
* 2nd Person
 +
* 3rd Person
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Singular
 +
* -abeb
 +
* -abal
 +
* -abu
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -abebs
 +
* -abals
 +
* -abus
 +
|}
 +
Therefore, he walked is translated to: ''Okaminabu.''
 +
 
 +
=====Commands=====
 +
Commands, or verbs in the imperative mood, order something to be done.  Negative commands are formed by adding ''Nom'' in front of the verb.  The gender sign refers to who is being ordered to do something.
 +
Example: Walk!
 +
{|
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
*
 +
* 2nd Person
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Singular
 +
* -am
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -ams
 +
|}
 +
Therefore, "Walk!" (when ordering a male) is translated to ''Okaminam'' and "Don't walk!" is ''Nom okaminam''
 +
 
 +
====Passive Voice====
 +
 
 +
=====Present Tense=====
 +
The present tense indicates that something is happening now, whether it be currently going or not.
 +

 +
* -aj
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -ots
 +
* -ums
 +
* -ajs
 +
|}
 +
Therefore, it is being walked would translate to: ''Ekaminaj.''
 +
 
 +
=====Future Tense=====
 +
The future tense indicates that something will happen in the future.
 +
Example: It will be walked.
 +
{|

 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -itots
 +

 +
* -itajs
 +
|}
 +
Therefore, it will be walked is translated as: ''Ekaminitaj.''
 +
 
 +
=====Past Tense=====
 +
The past tense indicates something happened in the past.
 +
Example: It was being walked, it was walked.
 +
{|
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
*

 +
| width="33%" |

 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -abots
 +
* -abums
 +
* -abajs
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
=====Commands=====
 +
Commands, or verbs in the imperative mood, order something to be done.  Negative commands are formed by adding ''Nom'' in front of the verb.  The gender sign refers to who is being ordered to do something.
 +
Example: Be walked!
 +
{|
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
*
 +
* 2nd Person

| width="33%" |
 +
* Singular
 +
* -ul
 +
| width="33%" |
 +
* Plural
 +
* -uls
 +
|}
 +
Therefore, "Be walked!" (when ordering a male) is translated to ''Okaminul'' and "Don't walk!" is ''Nom okaminul''
 +
 
 +

 +
Pariciples and gerunds are formed by adding "-i" to the end of the base.  For example, "living" is translated as "amai".

==Pronouns==
 +
 
 +

 +
Nouns can be either masculine, feminine or neuter.  If the noun ends in a consonant, add -i.  If it ends in a vowel, ad -du.  Thus, Soldier=sodi, and soldiers=sodidu.

==Translating Issues==
+
==Adjectives==
−
When attempting to translate from Footballian to other languages, many problems are often encountered.  First, the alphabet of Footballian differs immensely from any other known modern language.  Secondly, the sounds made by Footballian speakers can seem like gibberish to many foreigners, making the language immensely difficult to learn as a second tongue.  In response to this, many important Footballians end up learning many different languages, in order to make international communication flow more smoothly.
+
Adjectives agree with nouns in gender and number.  Adjectives will either end in -o or a consonant in their masculine form, which is what is always given.  If ending in -o, then the -a or -e to signal gender will replace the -o; if a consonant, it is added to the end.  Thus, Footballian sea would become Loçñjala ose and Footballian house would be Loçñaljale kak.

Verb Formation

All verbs end in -or. There are no subject pronouns in Footballian, so the verbs show the gender of the subject in addition to what is shown in most Romance languages.

Gender Signs

Gender signs are added to the front of the infinitive. Note that they are added to first and second person also. So, if the speaker was in first person and was feminine, the verb would begin with a-. When it is a group of multiple genders, the masucline takes dominance.

  • Masculine
  • Feminine
  • Neuter
  • o-
  • a-
  • e-

Pronouns

Nouns

Nouns can be either masculine, feminine or neuter. If the noun ends in a consonant, add -i. If it ends in a vowel, ad -du. Thus, Soldier=sodi, and soldiers=sodidu.

Adjectives

Adjectives agree with nouns in gender and number. Adjectives will either end in -o or a consonant in their masculine form, which is what is always given. If ending in -o, then the -a or -e to signal gender will replace the -o; if a consonant, it is added to the end. Thus, Footballian sea would become Loçñjala ose and Footballian house would be Loçñaljale kak.
