Editing Seytil

The project exists and is developed since 2011. The author: [[User:Rosto|Rosto]]

==Main idea==
[[File:Logotil150x.png|thumb|150x150px]]
'''Seytil''' is a [[worldlang]], i. e. an artificial language having the languages of the entire world as a source. The number of source languages is not limited, but words used by more speakers have more chance to be used in Seytil.

Seytil (also it was: Sekay Til) tries to use as far as possible the phenomenon of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_cognate false cognates, true friends]. This phenomenon is worldwide per se, and exists objectively.

The most advantage of the wordlang - it is minimally arbitrary. Any arbitrarily invented rules are avoided, as possible.

== The name ==
"Sey" is a short form of "sekay"=world or "seyara"=planet.

"Til" = language. In some Turkic languages it is "til" (cf Turkish "dil"). In some Germanic languages it is "tal", which is independent. 

==Writing and phonetics.==
A text in Seytil may be written using writing systems of the source languages for each word:

: vieja אדם y vieja mulher حيا 了. 他 রা habe了母雞. 母雞 produce 了 एक jaj. vieja adam ضرب ,了 ضرب 了, নাই सका quebra. vieja mulher ضرب ,了 ضرب 了, 역시 নাই सका quebra. panya lari 了, हिलाई 了 โดย cuda, jaj пада了 y se buelve 了 quebraн. vieja אדם pleure, vieja mulher pleure, ama 母雞 꼬꼬댁: "别 pleure, дед, 别 pleure, nonna, मैं س produce लिए أنت রা ny jaj, নাই ordinar, ama de Gold. अंत.

But it is not practically useful. Seytil has its own alphabet, Silineal, but usually it is transliterated using Latin alphabet.

'''Phonetics''' is close to that of Esperanto.

The text above, transliterated:

: veha adam i veha muler hayála. tara habela mugay. mugay produsela ek yay. veha adam dárabala, dárabala, nay saká kebra. veha muler dárabala, dárabala, yoksi nay saká kebra. panya larila, hilayla doy kuda, yay padala i sebolvela kebran. veha adam plor, veha muler plor, ama mugay kokodé: "be plor, ded, be plor, nona, me sa produse li antara ni yay, nay ordinar ama de golt. ant.
<br />[[File:Mugay_i_yay_de_golt.ogg]]

Translation:
: [There] lived an old man and an old woman. They had a hen. The hen laid (brought) an egg. The old man beat, beat, cannot crack. The old woman beat, beat, cannot crack too. A mouse ran, wagged by its tail, the egg fell and got broken. The old man is crying, the old woman is crying, but the hen cacles: "Don't cry, grandpa, don't cry, grandma, I will bring for you a new egg, not ordinary, but golden. End.

=== '''Accentuation''' ===
A stress depends of a source word. In most cases it is before the last consonant (in a root). It is not a rule, but only statistics. So, when it is not so, the stress may be marked. Suffixes may be stressed if they are stressed in the source language(s). Otherwise suffixes does not affect a stress.

==Lexicon==

The lexicon consists of native words and loanwords.
==='''Native words'''===

Native words are derived by the method of false cognates. 

For example:

- a man (adult male human)

in many languages of the Near Est it is "adam"

in Vietnamese it is "danom", a word of  Vietnamese origin: đàn ông (it really is pronounced with "m" in the end)

Both contain the common pattern "da..m", and the word "adam" has more speakers, so a "native" word for male human is "adam".

''Synonyms and homonyms are possible and are not avoided intentionally.''

==='''Loan words'''===

Loanwords are loans from any languages by any reason. Examples (loanwords marked by asterisks):

me sapi *gonfú. - I know kung fu.

papa inom nomi yoy *cha. - Father drinks only good tea.

''&#42;''neutron habe sun elektro chona - Neutron has zero electric charge.

===Personal pronouns===
Personal pronouns may have multiple variants. The most simple scheme is:

|In old times there lived a carpenter. He had a cat. The master loved the cat, and every evening he brought fish for the cat. The cat loved the carpenter too.<br />Once, a sickness attacked the carpenter: his eyes began going blind. He could not work, money was few, even not enough to buy fish for the cat. He said to it:<br />- Although we was poor, we lived somehow. Now I am completely blind, I have nothing to feed you. You need to seek a new master.<br />The carpenter fell asleep. The cat went to the carpenter and began to lick carpenter's eyes. Left, right, left, right, left, right. Ten days passed, eyes of the carpenter ceased to be sick. He could see as before.
