History

Modern Avalonese (or just Avalonese)

Modern Avalonese is the current version of Avalonese spoken on the EarthMineCraft.NetWork server, and is often just called Avalonese for simplicity. It is very similar in the way German is in which Avalonese is spoken by political figures and idiots who learn it in school but can't use it because it's only spoken in a single continent. However, unlike German, Avalonese has a much higher appeal due to concise grammatical rules, and has been starting to increase in usage and popularity throughout north american, and on the server. However, there are sadly still bums that don't put in the effort to learn it, and prefer using english. This lead to the creation of Anglicized Avalonese, the odd donkey of Avalon.

An example of Modern Avalonese thus follows:

Avalonese: "Star, ou nao star? lau stas la denmacieu. Tcao z'istas pao sfoblei en la mendeu hatikar gic kan la arkaun oi zagoun dei uiltoi gorou, ou prontar barmeun kau u metas dei malei, oi, bou hatikast, zentcas hinc"

English: "To be, or not to be? That is the question. Whether it's nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And, by opposing, end them"

Ancient Avalonese

was the language of the Avalonese settlers before and slightly after arriving on Newfoundland Island, nobody speaks it as a first language today but it is used in religious affairs and gatherings based on the nation's religion Pissism and many Shites have to learn it as a second language in order to read out sermons correctly, it is also one of the first requirements for becoming the Poop. Many ancient relics are engraved with Ancient Avalonese such as the Pee Pee monument.

An example of Ancient Avalonese thus follows:

Ancient Avalonese: "የእንግሊዝኛ ቋንቋ መጥፎ ነው እና ህዝቡ በጣም ሰነፍ ከመሆኑ በፊት ከአቫሎን መዝገበ ቃላት ቋንቋ መሰደድ አለበት።"

English: "English is very stinky and deserves to be exiled from the Avalonese lexicon before the commonfolk get too lazy"
