N'V'ɛcɛ ďl N'N'æl'ɛ (Nuh Vuh-EE-see dul Nuh Nuh-AY-luh-ee)

7 posts in this topic.

  1. translates to: respected and beautiful language of the respected and beautiful Nature
  2. Vowel Sounds:
    |æ| as in date (æ rhymes with may)
    |ɛ| as in tree (ɛ rhymes with bee)
    |ii| as in might (ii rhymes with by)
    |oih| as in go, but with the “oh” sound held out for a bit longer and breaking off with a breathy exhale (oih doesn’t rhyme with any English words, the closest are things like go and no)
    |yiu| as in unicorn, but with the “yuh” held for a bit longer than usual (yiu rhymes with pew)

    |ə| as in at
    |ɛƕ| as in pen or |ɛih| or |ɛh| to have a harder exhale or longer sound
    |e| as in it
    |ᵫ| as in fall
    |ù| as in up
  3. Some quick rules on sounds:

    When an /h/ is added to something (be it a letter, word, or letter combination,) this means that you break off the sound of that word/letter with a breathy exhale.

    When an /i/ is added to a letter/letter combination, it means that you hold the sound for longer than you normally would in (American) English.
  4. Consonants:

    |n| as in nature
    |d| as in bird
    |k| as in crazy, except that the “kuh” sound is pronounced with the nose wrinkled in a snarl and the middle of the tongue bending up toward the roof of the mouth, a harsh sound, almost pronounced like a hiss
    |ď| as in dirt, but softer
    |g| as in grab or crave, pronounced similarly to the N’æl’ɛ/Nuh-AY-luh-ee letter /k/, without the snarl but with the tongue bending up toward the roof of the mouth
    |ƕ| as in have, but softer
    |z| as in zen, but with a /d/ sound beforehand, like “dzuh”
    |l| as in love
    |m| as in much
    |p| as in people
    |q| as in cultivate
    |ȑ| as in real, but softer
    |c| as in city
    |t| as in turtle, but with an /s/ sound (or N’æl’ɛ /c/) after, like “tsuh”
    |v| as in over
    |ⱳ| as in tower
    |y| as in day
  5. N’V’N’V’ɛcɛ ďl N’N’æl’ɛ Alphabet in order:

    N n
    D d
    K k
    Ď ď
    G g
    Ƕ ƕ
    Z z
    L l
    M m
    P p
    Q q
    Ȑ ȑ
    C c
    T t
    V v
    Ⱳ ⱳ
    Y y

    Æ æ
    Ɛ ɛ
    II ii
    Oih oih
    Yiu yiu
    Ə ə
    Ɛƕ ɛƕ
    E e
    Ue/ᵫ ᵫ (sadly there’s no capital ᵫ that I could find, so just do Ue)
    Ù ù
  6. Another rule in spelling:
    when you add an apostrophe after a consonant in a word, you add an "uh" sound to the sound that consonant usually makes.

    Examples:
    Nælɛ = naylee
    N’æl’ɛ = nuhayluhee
  7. Current existing words:

    N’æl’ɛ = Nature, a proper name for nature, should always be capitalized and spoken about with respect
    Phonetically: nuh-AY-luh-ee

    V’ɛcɛ = Language
    Phonetically: vuh-EE-see

    ďl = of
    Phonetically: dul

    N’ = respected, beautiful/thing of beauty, when placed before a noun (usually a proper noun) it means that the one using the N’ respects the noun and is calling it beautiful - but beautiful meaning thing of beauty, not pretty-
    Phonetically: nuh

    N’æl = plant/plants/life


Perfection is lots of little things done well.
