Here is what I have made of this created language so far. I call it "
Wi", which is the literal world for
language in samruxbabble.
Vocabulary
.A word, represented by a single symbol, is composed of two to three sounds. The sounds themselves carry meaning and give it to the word. The structure, from most to least important, is as follows:
The first sound sets the topic, and is a consonant. It is the main body of the symbol.
The second sound sets the theme, and is a vowel. It modifies the body of the symbol.
The third sound, if present, provides extra detail, and can be either. It is added to the symbol.
However, the terminology is always abstract, and can be interpreted in multiple ways. Some very interesting concepts and usage can arise from this.
Have, as a first example of a word, "
Ya". It is composed of:
Y; whose name is "bright", and signifies knowledge or light. Pronounced as in the English word "yes"
A; whose name is "earth", and signifies firmness or foundation. Pronounced as in the English word "Car"
"
Ya" then means "foundation of light or knowledge", which could be understood as
intellect,
mind,
core argument, main light,
sun. List goes on, both those are the relevant ones I can conceive.
If we then add the sound
Ř, whose name is "power", and signifies great importance and authority, we get "
Yař"...
Which would then signify something like "powerful center of light or knowledge", which I suppose literally means
Sun, but one could also use it to mean
the mind of a king, for example.
Yař is the word that one would use to talk about the sun, since it is more precise than
Ya.
Here we have three different words, and how they look.
As we saw, "Ya" could mean
Intellect. "Ye" and "Yi" could mean
Knowledge and
Inspiration, respectively, based on the vowels that modified the main sound (
Y).
The direct relationship between words of connected meaning can be explained in the form of
word families, of which a single family is all the words that start with the same consonant-vowel pair. For example, here are a couple words of the family of
Ye:
As
Ye means knowledge, based on the third sound we can infer more detailed ideas:
Yee could mean exploration of new knowledge
Yeg could mean creation or invention by fruit of knowledge
Yei could mean teaching of knowledge to others
Yea could mean discovery of new knowledge; the result of Yee.
One can theoretically make up words on the spot to express some complicated idea one wishes to tell. That is the intended usage. As I said, concepts are much more abstract in this language, and it is technically possible to know the meaning of a word without having ever heard it before. So far I have a very limited dictionary, though, with a list of words that one could use in a variety of situations. I have a lot more work to do in that aspect.
I succeeded in creating (or at least ideating) a language that is completely foreign to English or Spanish (my two languages). This is further seen with the grammar and usage of these words in actual sentences.
To be continued. I haven't drawn enough examples to keep explaining.
