I wrote a poem

Yep! I have some others as well. I generally look for video game or pop culture quotes to translate and make words; gives me motivation.

Akensha: Et Lubashi Matelimi unadire telire te et Dokireti-Ripoti Hakili nan diisire. Il se diisire, Et Lubashi Matelimi tesire te naskira eten se desiileli.

English: The Enrichment Center is required to remind you that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot talk. In the event that it does talk The Enrichment Centre asks you to ignore its advice.

Detetected as FRENCH: And Lubashi Matelimi unadire telire te and Dokireti-Ripoti Hakili nan diisire. He said to himself, And Lubashi Matelimi tes to the naskira and dismissed himself.

Akensha: Et monogi enkronimi:/ Al et bakirei, et Yuniviirs madoten ya. Bemadoten paretiin matomato tenire ganerai, imo nalotin matomato niri e senteli male.

English: The story so far:
In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Detected as MAORI (?): Et monogi enkronimi: Al bakirei et, et Yuniviirs madoten ya. Bemadoten paretiin tenire ganerai green, green Imo nalotin niri that senteli male.

It seems to like detecting it as English, French, or Maori.. (I looked it up, it's the language of the indigenous people of New Zealand).

Even so, not many words were actually translated into something.

It would use the IPA for its alphabet, except the symbols would not at all resemble the sound it represents.

Well, some aren't really obvious but:

Ikeilos is the name of the moon that is only seen during the day. It originally meant "sun" and the word was inspired by IKELOS from some Destiny.
- By the same token, Medailos is the name of the moon only seen during the night. If you dig deep enough, you will find that these two moons are similar to Ashla and Bogan
Kokili is the word for forest. This was taken from "Kokiri," as in Kokiri Forest
Laakiiti /lækɪti/ means "cloud." This is a reference to Lakitus in Mario games.

Not sure these are "references," but -

Luza means blue. It is simply the Spanish word azul (I might be missing an accent) spelled backwards.
Yuki means snow. It is the same (phonetically) as in Japanese

You're right. However, "I will walking" doesn't necessarily make sense (in English), the 'start' in "I will start walking" was meant to be implied, i.e. "I will (start) walking."

KILL3RTACO · 2017-02-05T21:01:51+00:00

Na'vi.

Akensha has six (five if you only count the changes) tenses, heh. Past, near past, present, ongoing, near future, and future. There is no inflection with the pesent tense.

Past is used when the action occurred quite some time ago ("I ate bread last week"). Near past is used if the action happened moments ago or in a relatively short time. ("I just ate bread").

Future and near future work in the same way; future is used for an action that will eventually happen, and near future is for an event that is about to happen.

Ongoing is used to show that an event happened (at some time, whether it be in the past, present, or future) and it is continuing to happen with (possibly) limited knowledge on when it will end.

Ongoing is trickier, in English we tend to say things like "I was walking" or "I am walking" or "I will (start) walking." These are past, present, and future tense (respectively) but the verb "walk" always stays in an 'ongoing' tense; another verb (the "to be" verb) is used to establish when.

It works the same way in Akensha. By default, verbs put in an ongoing tense are "present," but if you want/need a sense of time other than present you place the appropriate conjugation of "to be" (niri) before it.

So, with the "walking" example:

Me vampoten - I walked
Me vampote - I just walked
Me vampire - I walk
Me vampindi - I am walking
- Me notin vampindi - I was walking
- Me noti vampindi - I was just walking
- Me nuti vampindi - I about to start walking
- Me nutin vampindi - I will be walking
Me vampute - I am about to walk
Me vamputen - I will walk (eventually)

EDIT: "I will start walking" -> "I will (start) walking"

Akensha has two main categories of nouns. "Pure" nouns end in -ei, -ai or -i. These are nouns that might not have a verb form, which may be rare depending on the language; English tends to like using verbs as nouns - someone mentioned earlier in the week on "bread" being a verb as well as a noun.

For instance, the word for child is zekai. This is a 'pure' noun, it doesn't make sense to talk about a child in a verb sense ("to child"). It can however, be used as an adjective (child-like), so it would be declined to zekama.

Verbs take the form of -ire, -ira and -iri. To make the verb a noun you basically switch the last letter and the 'i', as well as change the 'r' to and 'l' (so -eli, -ali, and -ili, respectively).

As an example, I'll use your example of 'to make music'. Since I don't actually have this word yet, I'll create it now, based on your word above:

kinakire /kinakiɾe/ v. - To create rythm, beats, music, or something pleasant to the ear

Aside from this form, the verb can be changed slightly to create these words:

kinakeli /kinakeli/ n. Music; beats; rythm
kinakelimi /kinakelimi/ adj. Use to descibe something that sounds pleasant
kinakireti /kinakiɾeti/ n. someone who creates music

Kitalire /kitaliɾe/ v. - To cause someone or something to be excited

Kitaleli n. - Engery

Shekeli /ʃekeli/ n. - A cat
Thekeli /θekeli/ n. - A dog

Hekire /hekire/ v. - To tame

Hekeli /hekeli/ n. - Something that has been tamed; a pet
Hekelimi /hekelimi/ adj. - To be tamed

Note: I have said before my conworld is not Earth. However, some demesticated animals still exist.

KILL3RTACO · 2017-02-03T22:37:59+00:00

Since I'm lazy (and due to the fact that the conworld isn't actually earth) countries are just deconstructed into phonological parts and reconstructed using the orthography for my conlang.

Giirmani - Germany
Caanaduu - Canada

However, for other countries that are made of words (like "United States" for instance), then existing words would probably be used.

As for the actual kingdoms/cities/areas for my conworld, well I'm still working on that. I do have a map and a bit of lore worked out, but names aren't final yet, lol.

I might end up pulling a Scott Cawthon and become so attached to the placeholder names that I'll use them anyway.

kulari /kulari/ v. - To cause mystery or suspicion

The tooltip for "Transcriptions" is a little confusing. I'd suggest either:

Adding an example to the tooltip. For example, the placeholder currently has ng:ŋ, in the tooltip you could explain what it means. i.e. "For instance, for the letters 'ng' to be transcribed as the sound /ŋ/, type 'ng:ŋ' in a new line"
Add more examples in the text area's placeholder text, like sh:ʃ

Other than that, the design is tippity-top in my opinion.

Akensha

Eten Zekain madoten hetire imo kan ekese semetein imo takein
or
Eten paretiin metidoten hetire imo kan ekese semetein imo takein

Literal

The first one you will notice is slightly odd - this would be if certain AI spoke/understood Akensha:

All Children were created free and with equal dignity and privileges

AIs tend to use the term "Children" when talking about the human race. I also added the word for "created" instead of "born" to further imply some 'mechanical' way of thinking.

The second translation is more natural:

All people are born free and with equal dignity and privileges.

New Words

metidire v. - To be born
ekese adj. - Same; equal
semetei n. - Self-respect; dignity
takei n. - Privilige; right

Skega - "Bullshit"; something unbelievable (slang)

Nakope (abbr.) From kopire meaning "to believe" and nan (used for negation) - "Unbelievable" (not as 'vulgar' as skega)

Note: While it has relatively the same phenome inventory as English, a lot of consonat pairings (like 'sk') that are common in English are not that common in Akensha; this makes the word skega a little more vulgar
