This language has four tones. Because the letters have diaresis, we use superscript numbers instead of additional diacritical marks to indicate tones. | |||
# Average tone: 55 | |||
# Rising tone: 25 | |||
# Falling tone(lower): 31 | |||
# Falling tone(higher): 51 | |||
# Wavy tone: 214 | |||
Besides, we have also tone 0 which works like soft tone in Chinese. | |||
= Grammar = | |||
== Glyphs and Words == | |||
Each basic vocabulary word consists of a single syllable. Since each syllable corresponds to one character, these basic vocabulary words have only one character (we will discuss the sinicization scheme later). | |||
New words are constructed by combining monosyllabic words. A large number of words are disyllabic. For example, | |||
<pre> | |||
Language = Talking + Sound | |||
Student = Study + Human | |||
Dawn = Morning + Before | |||
</pre> | |||
== Syntax == | |||
We use the SOV sentence structure of the Tibeto-Burman language family (rather than the Sinitic language family). | |||
For example(we use phonetic alphabets): | |||
<pre> | |||
They discuss a problem. | |||
他们讨论一个问题。 | |||
他们 一个 问题 讨论 | |||
to1men2 i1no2 un3te2 i4lun3. | |||
</pre> | |||
=== Classifier === | |||
Since both the Sino-Tibetan language family languages have a large number of measure words, we also use the measure word system here, stipulating that nouns must be combined with numerals using measure words. | |||
For example: | |||
* General classifier: <code>no2</code> | |||
* For elongated objects: <code>tiao2</code> | |||
* For plants (especially trees): <code>ke1</code> | |||
* For flat objects: <code>pian4</code> | |||
=== Function Words === | |||
==== Tense ==== | |||
* Past tense: Add "le0" after the sentence. EG: <code>I have finished eating.</code> → <code>nga2 fan4 dza1 le0.</code> | |||
* Future tense: Add "jiang1" before the verb. EG: <code>I'm going to eat.</code> → <code>nga2 jiang1 dza1 fan4.</code> | |||
==== Possessive ==== | |||
We use "ge0" for possessive. Such as: My book → nga2 ge0 shu1. | |||
==== Directive ==== | |||
We use "dou1" for directive. Such as: The book is on the desk. → Shu1 dou1 dzhuo1-shang3. | |||

== A "simple" sentence == | |||
<pre> | |||
Za2tian1, na4 sam1 no2 nian2-ge2 hok4-zen2, he2-bian1 ge0 xiao5-shu4-lin2 dou1, jiang1 liang5 tiao2 mei3-li4 ge0 niao5 nga2 le0. | |||
Yesterday, those three young students saw two pretty birds in the little forest. | |||

= Sinicization Plan = | |||
Given that this language belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family, we also offer a Sinicized (even exaggerated) mode—where each syllable is represented by a single character. | |||
