Rejistanian
The rejistani language is a conlang created to provide communication between the different peoples of Rejistania without any preference. Its grammar reminds partly of japanese and esperanto since it relies heavily on pre- and suffixes. Rejistani is written either in the latin alphabet or in a special rejistani one. The apostrophe is used to seperate the different parts of a word. Notable is also the important position of the verb in this language: "xe'ki'lanja'isa'han'ta" (translation: "I will not go there/come.", literal translation: "I'am-going-to'maybe'go'to'not") is a complete sentence, which only consists of a verb ('isa: to go) with its pre- and suffixes.
Some common expressions and proverbs:
Hejida! Hello!
Hejida (name)'he Hello Mr/Mrs (name)
Il su? How are you?
Il('lanja)'ma visko jusa su? Can you speak english? (the 'lanja makes the question a bit more polite)
Il'ma niva su, (location) mi'aru sunra? Can you draw where (location) is? (It is a much better idea to ask for a drawing than try to understand a rejistani description)
