Waddenish: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

"A" is usually pronounced with the /'''ɑ'''/ as in ''"bra"'' (or, in certain accents, /'''æ̃'''/) but the lesser-used "aa/ah" uses /'''æ'''/ as in "bat", though "ah" puts an /'''x'''/ at the end due to the h, though this sound is usually represented instead with "gh/ch" for outside the use of "ah" and "eh".

All the tenses come from German influence since the foundation of Waddenzee e.g. Past and Future tense send the verb to the end with the -en ending, rather than -e in the present. However, the language largely has no grammatical gender, likewise to English. This makes this language one of the easiest in EarthMC to be learned by English speakers. However, there is ''"de"'' and ''"die"'', but ''"die"'' is only for before a vowel, likewise for ''"An"'' -used for either "on" or "a". "Your/you" also changes depending on the sound after e.g. ''"Dien"'' for before a vowel, or ''"Fe"'' before a consonant (''"Fier"'' is an exception used before b, n, x, or the seldom used y. This is a loose cognate to "thee" found in earlier forms of English, and ''"fier"'' is a homophone that also means "four". This makes for interesting puns between four/you in Waddenish that are constantly used to death by the dads of Waddenzee).
