oh. hold on. let me just go set myself on fire.~🎃

[deepdreamnights]

Welcome to Radio UltraMerica, Saint Christmas the VIth on the mic, broadcasting perpendicularly across all three-and-a-half dimensional realities!

And next we have a song by a handsome group of beings from the Infinikansas cornwastes. It's a song about letting go, but the charts aren't listening, it's been at the πth spot on the charts for 9 weeks, with no signs of shaking loose. That's right, it's the incredibly difficult to introduce 'Is this-' by ми морські коники.

--

Every Sunday for the foreseeable I'll be releasing songs from other worlds and dimensions plucked from the Radio UltraMerica airwaves by myself in continued defiance of conceptual law.

Medieval Runes, Quick Guide

This correlation between Runic and Latin letters is not 100% historical, since there was no one way of writing Old Norse and its daughter languages.

Medieval Runes were used after the Old Norse period, for writing early Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish dialects of the 12th century and later, which have already underwent certain changes. Also the same letters were used for different sounds between each dialect, and some letters had different shapes as well. So there is no correct way of writing Old Norse with Medieval Runes as there was no standard orthography, and this one is just as good as any.

What I have devised though is the simplest one-on-one transcription from Latin to Runic, though backwards this isn't possible since some Runes represent two or more sounds, which are distinct in the Latin script.

Pronunciation things

So I can't possibly explain everything, but I'll mention a couple things

Generally we have more like, easy to understand letters than English. "a" is only "a" not "ai". But "o" is both "o" and "å".

There are some diphtongs:

ei, øy, au - most common

ai, oi and eu - less common

There are some ch type sounds:

kj, ky, ki, sj, skj, ski, sky

most of those are different I think

There's also gj which is basically English J I think maybe

If there's a double consonant that usually means the vowel is short. (this has exceptions). And the same in reverse.

blod (no) has a long o (means blood)

Bakke (no) has a short a (means hill)

We're not french so we pronounce letters at the end of our words even if they're vocals.

Norwegian alphabet almost explained

a = ah = a as in arc

b = b

c (we don't use this much)

d = d

e = e = e as in end

f = f

g = g (can be not pronounced)

h = h

i = ee = ee as in been

j = weak j idk = y as in yes

k = k

L = L

m = m

n = n

o = o (1) or å (2) where idk what 1 is actually and 2= o as in not or morning

p = p

q (we don't use this much)

r = r (there are two versions: "skarre r" and "rulle r", idk the difference but some people care a lot, I think it depends on dialect though so it's probably fine whichever you use)

s = s

t = t

u = o = o as in to or ue as in blue

v = v

w (we don't use this much)

x (we don't use this much)

y = y = y as in penny

z (we don't use this much)

æ = ae idk = au as in laugh

ø = uh = u as in blunt

å = o = o as in not or morning

[thesquireinvictus]

I've developed what I call a "Living Futhark" (ᛚᛁᚥᛁᛝ ᚠᚢᚦᚪᚱᚳ) or a runic system adapted to Modern English phenomes, using 30 primary letters.

ᚠ F ᛫ ᚢ U ᛫ ᚦ Th ᛫ ᚪ An ᛫ ᚱ R ᛫ ᚳ Key ᛫

ᚷ G ᛫ ᚻ H ᛫ ᛁ I ᛫ ᚹ Wyn ᛫ ᛞ D ᛫ ᛡ J ᛫ ᛖ E ᛫

ᛄ Y ᛫ ᛉ Chi ᛫ ᛣ X ᛫ ᛇ Ach ᛫ ᛚ L ᛫ ᛗ M ᛫ ᚾ N ᛫ ᛟ O ᛫ ᛈ P ᛫

ᛝ NG ᛫ ᛥ St ᛫ ᛋ S ᛫ ᚴ Z ᛫ ᛏ T ᛫ ᛒ B ᛫ ᚥ V ᛫ ᚤ Ye

I picked the order based on a few codices, and because it makes an Anglo-Saxon-like caesura-based poem: F U Thorn | An R Key G H I Wyn | D J E Y Chi X Ach | LMNOP Ing St S Z | T B V Ye!

“An” "Key" "Wyn" “Ach” and "Ye" I spell out to illustrate differences in pronunciation. It’s “An” rather than A because the ᚪ is conventionally a short “A.” W should not be called "double-u" because it is not represented as a double-u in runes (see English "Ƿ"). "Chi" is simply the easiest quick way to say "Ch" as a letter. And "Key" is different to the original ᚳ or "K" rune because it can no longer indicate Ch, thus the need for differentiation; it’s one of the few proper changes. “Ach” is the letter used to indicate glottal stops in “Ick” “ach” “och” “loch” “lough” etcetera. "Ye" ᚤ is the vowel form of Y, whereas "Y" ᛄ is the consonant.

Gained on the Latin: Thorn/eth, Chi, Y/Ye differentiation, St, Ing, guttural glottal stop. Lost from the Latin: Q, now represented with K.

The only changes from standard attestations in the Old English are the application of ᚪ as a universal A (if you prefer); a standardized differentiation between K, Ch, and X sounds; the repurposing of ᚴ (originally just an alternate way to write an ᛋ) to mean Z instead; ᛟ as o rather than the limited ø; and the addition (from standard Mediaeval runes) of ᚥ for V.

In my system "SH" is written "SCh" ᛋᛉ, as was the practice in Old and Middle English and as is more suitable to the phenome. There are just a handful of standardized changes in spelling to bring things closer to a phonetic spelling and to accommodate letter-to-rune changes, but nothing major and all quite intuitive. The traditional avoidance of two of the same runes in a row is kept up, though not super strictly; double vowels are more avoided than double consonants, but generally where a double-letter can be dropped without losing meaning, it is dropped. There are bind rune characters for double vowels. ᛰ, a modified bind Y and O rune, indicates ø. ᛠ, a modified A and E rune, indicated ea and ee, dependant on meaning retention.

Deutschribing Germany

Languages

Most languages native to Germany belong to the Germanic family, but some of them are Slavic languages. German is the official language, with over 95% of the country speaking Standard German or one of its dialects as their first language.

There are six recognized minority languages: Danish, Lower Sorbian, North Frisian, Romani, Saterland Frisian, and Upper Sorbian. The main immigrant languages spoken are Arabic, Dutch, Greek, Italian, Kurdish, Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Tamil, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

German (Deutsch)

German belongs to the West Germanic group of languages and is the native language of 95 million people. It is the official language in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, as well as South Tyrol in Italy, and is a recognized minority language in ten countries from four different continents.

German Standard German is the standardized variety of German spoken in Germany. Its pronunciation is similar to the German spoken in Hanover. Its alphabet has 30 letters: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ä ö ü ß. Most German vocabulary is of Germanic origin, but around one fifth was taken from French or Latin. German dialects and varieties are explained in detail in this post.

Romani (rromani ćhib)

Sinte Romani (sintitikes) is the variety of Romani spoken in Germany and neighboring countries. It belongs to the Northwestern Romani dialect group, which in turn is part of the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European family. It is spoken by around 195,000 people and is not mutually intelligible with other Romani varieties.

There is no standard pronunciation or grammar. The alphabet has 31 letters: a b c č čh d dž e f g h i j k kh l m n o p ph r s š t th u v x z ž.

Danish (dansk)

Danish is a North Germanic language with 6 million native speakers. It is the official language of Denmark and the Faroe Islands and a recognized minority language in Schleswig-Holstein and Greenland.

The Danish alphabet has 29 letters, including the 26 found in the English one and æ, ø, and å.

Upper Sorbian (hornjoserbšćina)

Upper Sorbian (Obersorbische Dialekte in the map) belongs to the West Slavic branch and is recognized as a minority language in Saxony, where its 13,000 native speakers live.

Its alphabet has 34 letters: a b c č ć d dź e ě f g h ch i j k ł l m n ń o ó p r ř s š t u w y z ž.

North Frisian (Nordfriisk)

North Frisian is part of the West Germanic branch and is spoken natively by 10,000 people in Schleswig-Holstein. It comprises 10 dialects, which are divided into two groups: insular and mainland.

Its phonology and orthography vary depending on the dialect, but there are 32 basic letters: a ä å b ch d dj đ/ð e f g h i j k l lj m n ng nj o ö p r s sch t tj u ü w.

Lower Sorbian (dolnoserbšćina)

Lower Sorbian (Niedersorbische Dialekte in the map of Sorbian dialects) is a West Slavic language spoken natively by 6,900 people in Brandenburg.

It uses the same letters as Upper Sorbian but adds ś and ź and uses ŕ instead of ř, bringing the total number of letters to 36.

Saterland Frisian (Seeltersk)

Saterland Frisian belongs to the West Germanic branch and is recognized as a minority language in Lower Saxony. It is spoken by 2,200 people and has three fully mutually intelligible dialects.

Its orthography has not been standardized yet, but there are 31 common letters: a ä b ch d e f g h i ie j k/kk ks kw l m n ng o oa ö p r s sch t u ü v w.

Here is Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the native languages of Germany:

German: Alle Menschen sind frei und gleich an Würde und Rechten geboren. Sie sind mit Vernunft und Gewissen begabt und sollen einander im Geist der Brüderlichkeit begegnen.

Romani: Sa e manušikane strukture bijandžona tromane thaj jekhutne ko digniteti thaj capipa. Von si baxtarde em barvale gndaja thaj godžaja thaj trubun jekh avereja te kherjakeren ko vodži pralipaja.

Danish: Alle mennesker er født frie og lige i værdighed og rettigheder. De er udstyret med fornuft og samvittighed, og de bør handle mod hverandre i en broderskabets ånd.

Upper Sorbian: Wšitcy čłowjekojo su wot naroda swobodni a su jenacy po dostojnosći a prawach. Woni su z rozumom a swědomjom wobdarjeni a maja mjezsobu w duchu bratrowstwa wobchadźeć.

North Frisian: Ali Mensken sen frii, likwērtig en me disalev Rochten bēren. Ja haa Forstant en Giweeten mefingen en skul arküđer üs Bröđern öntöögentreer. (Sylt/Sölring dialect)

Lower Sorbian: Wšykne luźe su lichotne roźone a jadnake po dostojnosći a pšawach. Woni maju rozym a wědobnosć a maju ze sobu w duchu bratšojstwa wobchadaś.

Saterland Frisian: Aal do Moanskene sunt fräi un gliek in Wöide un Gjuchte gebooren. Joo hääbe Fernunft un Gewieten meekriegen un schällen sik eenuur as Bruure ferhoolde. (Ramsloh dialect)

Translation: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Youger Futhark - 8th~12th Century

The names of the 16 runes of the Younger futhark are recorded in the Icelandic and Norwegian rune poems. The names are:

ᚠ fé ("wealth")

ᚢ úr ("iron"/"rain")

ᚦ Thurs ("thurs", a type of entity, see jötunn)

ᚬ As/Oss ("(a) god")

ᚱ reið ("ride")

ᚴ kaun ("ulcer")

ᚼ hagall ("hail")

ᚾ/ᚿ nauðr ("need")

ᛁ ísa/íss ("ice")

ᛅ/ᛆ ár ("plenty")

ᛋ/ᛌ sól ("Sun", personified as a deity—see Sól (Germanic mythology))

ᛏ/ᛐ Týr ("Týr, a deity")

ᛒ björk/bjarkan/bjarken ("birch")

ᛘ maðr ("man, human")

ᛚ lögr ("sea")

ᛦ yr ("yew")

From comparison with Anglo-Saxon and Gothic letter names, most of these names directly continue the names of the Elder Futhark runes. The exceptions to this are:

• yr which continues the name of the unrelated Eihwaz rune;

• thurs and kaun, in which cases the Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Gothic traditions diverge.

Cursed Low Zeneth Translations

Consider this a makeshift guide to how Low Zeneth works.

Overview

Low Zeneth is a language and group of dialects spoken Southwestern Zeneste (the state of Tolftorrijv.) Its last common "ancestor" with Ipol was Classical Zispoel, but it had already started to diverge before the time of the Hero of Life. Low Zeneth is radically different than Ipol in many ways, though it's been influenced substantially by Ipol, too.

I will focus here on the prestige variety of Low Zeneth: the kind spoken in the city of Tolftorrijv.

Phonology/Romanization

Rendered Phonemically:

Stops: /p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/

Nasal Stops: /m/ /n/

Affricates: /t͡s/ /t͡ʃ/

Fricatives: /f/ /θ/ /s/ /ʃ/ /h/

Approximants: /w/ /l/ /j/

Tap/flap: /ɾ/

Trill: /r/

Vowels:

/iː/ /i/ /yː/ /y/ /uː/ /u/

/eː/ /e/ /øː/ /ø/ /oː/ /o/ 

/ə̃/ /ə/

/a/ /ɑː/

That makes 34 total phonemes broken down from 20 consonants and 14 vowels.

Romanized:

p, b, t, d, k, g

m, n

ts, q

f, th, s, sh, h

w, l, j

r

rr

ij i üü ü uw u

ee ê öö ö oo o

v e

a aa

If you can't tell, I had fun deriving this phonology from the restrictive, Classical Zispoel phonology. Maybe a little too much, but oh well.

Morphology and Syntax - Grammar

Technically Low Zeneth is a VSO language, but that's not the full picture.

Basically, auxiliary verbs get sucked up into the (head-initial) tense-phrase. The tree below describes the translation "fijsesê bv hijfrê" which literally translates to "have I money" and means "I have money."

The result is that most subordinate clauses have the structure SVO, while the main clause has structure SV(A)O.

Low Zeneth has very slim morphology, only inflecting for a simple plural in nouns with -o, and no morphology at all in verbs. A series of sound changes rendered the T/A distinctions of Classical Zispoel basically indistinguishable, so to compensate, speakers of Low Zeneth employ heavy periphrasis.

Cursed Translations from Today

Fijatsia bv io dv luw êraanva ijrenva

Phonemic: /fi.ˈja.tsi.a ˈbə̃ ˈi.o ˈluː e.ˈɾɑː.nə̃.a ˈiː.ɾe.nə̃.a/

Lit. Translation: Will I give you of news urgent.

Meaning: I will give you urgent news/I must give you urgent news.

Üümen ijnvth Dvrr Ilaajote hijthen-luwario

Phonemic: /ˈyː.men ˈiː.nə̃θ ˈdə̃r i.ˈlɑː.jo.tə ˈhiː.θen.lu.wa.ɾi.o/

Lit. Manages Zeneste Emperor Tolftorrijv fight-people.

Meaning: The Emperor of Zeneste (now) manages the Tolftorrijv army.

Conclusion

I just figured I'd talk about Low Zeneth today because I haven't talked about it a lot but have been producing a bunch of translations. I realize only now that I didn't go over forming questions in this post, but maybe later I will. Feel free, as always, to request that I translate random words/phrases into this language.

For morphological reasons verbs are restricted to CLVC

Glides are also incompatible with high vowels

Stops, Frics, Nasals, Liquids, Glides form groups that can't cooccur - so path ok, pat not.

Stressed. )trochees but the final syllable (including coda) doesn't count if the vowel is short (a ë ï)

DP

Gender: In/Animate. Animate pronouns divided by economic standing - propertied men and women take a different pronoun than children, serfs, animals, etc

Cases: Absolute ø, Agentive ë, Object, Benefactive, Aditive (dative but for motion), Genitive, Predicative, Copulative (also does topic), Vocative, Instrumental, Postpositional

Numbers: Sg, Du, Pl. Inanimates typically have unmarked mass forms that take a marked singulative

Distinguishes possessors (genitive) and attributions (adjectivized nouns)

Nouns have several declensions inferable from abs stem:

1 athematic - cóc

2 thematic major - cókï

3 thematic minor front - këké

4 thematic minor back - këcó 1 and 2 are similar, 3 and 4 are similar 1 and 2 pluralize with z/r, du ër, singulative di (turns into 3/4), then cases want to be abs ø, agentive ë, object -m, bene -n, aditive -dh, genitive -i/-y, pred -ëda, cop -ë, vocative -a, inst -ëk, postpos -ë 3 and 4 pluralize with s, du se, singulative dï (turns into 1/2), then cases want to be abs ø, agentive ø, object -ma, bene -na, aditive -te/to, genitive -ske/sko, pred-da, cop -ma, vocative -ya, instru -skumï, postpos -ø

Etymologically determined no degree of determination POS RELC ADJ N GEN D Q P

CP

Stative Eventive split. Eventive imperfect verbs take a nasal infix.

Derivation accomplished with prefixes, some metathizing (pe_r + kas > pekras)

Voice includes passive -u-, active -a-. Can combine with derivative voices applicative -m- and causative -s- ~ -r-

Aspects include continuous -m, stative -ø, imperfect n)-, perfect -s, habitual -ø, and long imperfect -C

Tense is past/non-past. Non-past reduplicates the last syllable before voice suffix.

Verbs agree in person and number for the first two persons only, -k and -t

Imperatives are the bare stem. Y/N questions take -në. Other Questions take -danë. No other special moods.
