Also, let me get this straight. I am NOT creating an official language. This is just for fun and for the stories I am going to continue writing. So I don't need you guys getting on at me about suffixes and prefixes, tenses and so on. Thank you for reading this not long message.

yes to both. but could you help me with it?

can try
so, i"d suggest choosing sounds that are common in lots of languages, so it"s easy to pronounce for anyone trying to read it out
in a similar fashion, i"d suggest having a balance between vovels and consonants, as comical as a purely vovel language may sound
with that in mind i"ll start by going through the vovel options


i (as in gift) exists in romanic languages (italian, spanish,... even french), german and most slavic languages, in russian it is written и, but is the same thing. in english it can also be represented by e (as in me)
o (as in got) exists in all of the above, written as o. the other o sound in english (oh) is an oddity of english, not even existing in all its dialects, so i"d avoid it
a (as in garden) exists in all of the above, written as a. in english it may also be represented by u (as in cut)
e (as in get) all of the above, written as э in russian, but same thing
u exists in all of the above, in russian written as у, in english it mostly exists as oo (as in good)

so there is a variety to choose from already, but if you want to add in something less common:
ö exists in german, in english as u (turn) and french as eu (bleu). other languages lack it
ü exists in german and turkish, other languages lack it
ä similar to e, so it is mostly redundant. exists in german. in english you can pronounce a in some words like it (first a in language)
ы a hard i existing in russian. other languages lack it
au a and u melted into one, exists in german and some english words (such as count), other languages lack it, pronounce the letters separately
oa o and a melted into one, exists in french (trois)

now it"s up to you to choose which vowel sounds you want and how to write them

thank you soo much for the massive help! I understand you completely now!

thanks for the words I will use them when i have finnished more words

illdeletethisi"m suggesting starting at a much deeper level than the words you are using, by defining the sounds the words are made of, and the relationship between the spoken and written language

when you are using letters to represent sounds, as opposed to pictures representing words, you can have a phonetic language, meaning that each letter has one sound associated with it, meaning you can know from reading how it sounds and have no issues reading out a text even if you don"t know the language well

to give real world examples of how this works:
most european languages are almost entirely phonetic, with just minor exceptions in a few words (examples: italian, spanish, russian, polish,....)
german has certain letter combinations with different sounds than the letters in it, but if you treat those letter combinations as letters it would be phonetic
english and french are nowhere near phonetic, which would allow for oddities like this

i THINK I understand you.

despite my arguments against centrally planned languages (found earlier in this thread), as this is a hobbyist project anyways which is something i did not argue against, i would like to suggest something that could potentially make the language interesting, seeing how it would overcome that limitation:

a limited set of sounds. make it a purely phonetic language with each letter having one, and only one sound, and each sound having just one letter
then limit the language to, let"s say 10 letters/sounds

Basically I will make a dictionary for the language with the English equivalent. Like a French dictionary but with this language replacing French.

oooh ok. Thanks!

This isn't how language works, you don't just come up with a substitute for each word. You have to define the parts of speech, pronunciation, and so on. Then the main skeleton for the language which will be the base for different words. Then prefixes/suffixes, articles, etc. It's more than just making a random word for each pre-existing one.

languages are a way for people to understand each other, so a successful language is one formed through the communication of individuals adapting to their needs
trying to centrally plan the direction an existing language takes inevitably is a waste of effort, as the language people use just keeps adapting to what is useful for the conversations the individuals speaking it have
this also explains why entirely centrally planned languages, such as esperanto, are at best thought exercises for hobbyists
they not only lack the network effect of people understanding it that makes languages useful, but also, no matter how much more efficient their creators may consider them, are not as well adapted to the communications needs of millions of people as languages developed in use by those millions of people

I'd think about verbs first, let's say to run is: ty riap

If we just take the English words for I, you, he etc.

I riap
you riap
he/she/it riapi
we riap
they riap

Honestly, i would have no idea how you want to do it, and i'll just leave it up to you mate. Good luck, i'll try and contribute when an nice basis is made

If you're going to establish a language, I suggest going about it in a different way. If you simply assign words to their English counter-parts, you won't get very far. Instead, try taking a look at speaking Elvish as laid out by Tolkien and from there, think about how you could go about this. Often languages work on a building block system for it's words, with certain parts having roots to other words.

Try thinking about the word "feel".
There are all sorts of forms that word can take. For example:
felt
feeling
feelings

So, like I said, try thinking about establishing your rules for creating words, take a look at other language structures and from there, begin building. Keeping in mind, that your sentences may not follow the same rules as English does and your language will need an altered set of rules for grammar.

Sorry about being lengthy and possibly making things difficult, but I've done what you're doing...and I didn't progress very far with it.
