This language is very similar to the language of Skrac because I worked with the creator of Skrac on many words, but then I decided to make my own language, so we both agreed to share the words we got until now and continue to develop our own languages alone :)

Nouns and Pronouns:

Epon- power

Graka- beast

Wellca- you

Gotu- idiot

Navin- mist

Vella- star

Mirsa- sky

Bab- sin

Nesh- ocean

Ditrio- night

Mekzef- day

Ee- I

Shallas- they

Shalash- them

Ta- rain

Hor- water

Rop- cat

Yacav- mountain

Ri- the

Akoh- friend

Gen- he

Len- she

Should you not add pronunciations to all the Zeldon posts, like there are for the colors?

Love how you list "idiot" right after "you". :rofl:

So, these are your pronouns so far:

Subjective:
I - Ee
you - Wellca
he/she - Gen/Len
(we)
(you, plural) - Wellca?
they - Shallas

Objective:
(me)
(you) - Wellca?
(him/her)
(us)
(you, plural) - Wellca?
them - Shalash

A couple comments:
-English uses the same form--"you"--to denote both singular and plural, subjective and objective. Does your term "Wellca" cover all four in the same way?

-While two-syllable pronouns are fine, I would commend the efficiency of single-syllable pronouns. These are probably going to be among the most frequently spoken words in your language. Saving syllables in pronouns, conjunctions and common prepositions will add up and make your language noticeably faster to speak! ^_^

Yes, I will be putting them soon. I just haven't gotten the time. :)

Yes cephron, this language has very similar characteristics to English. And thank you for the advice! :D

Good question!

Unless of course you are deliberately trying to make it slower, for a cultural reason (I will, with some of my languages), or, as in Entish, you are using part of a things history for its name.

Oh! Do you have a phonetic system for Zeldon?

No, it wasn't on purpose. I guess without paying attention, I just kept making 2 syllable words. :)

And I'm not very familiar with the concept of a phonetic system. :? Maybe I made one without even noticing...
