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 raw version and a skin.==
  
−
Here is a sample of a text (from a folktale) in '''the raw version''' of Sekay Til. (The phonetic reading may be like the writing, according to each source language):
  
   
  +
== The name ==
−
: يَعِيشَا 了 հին mas и հին おんな. olar habe了母雞. 母雞 帶來了 jaj. հին mas beat了, beat了, नहीं суметь ломануть. հին おんな beat了, beat了, 역시 नहीं суметь ломануть. ཙི་ཙི 달리다了, 擺蕩了 โดย cuda, jaj пада了 и tulla quebrado. հին mas kilio, հին おんな kilio, ama 母雞 꼬꼬댁: "别 kilio, جدّ, 别 kilio, nonna, me سـ 帶來 для σάς 新 jaj, नहीं zwykly, ama de زێر. վերջ.
  
  +
"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.
−
Such a raw form is not practically useful. So, a simplifying skin is used. The default skin has the phonetics like Esperanto (without distinction of h and ĥ, and with dz as one sound), and using of latin alfabet something like a late latinizing of some real language.
  
   
  +
==Writing and phonetics.==
⚫
{| border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="article-table article-table-selected" style="width: 100%;"
  
  +
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.

Besides the default skin, other skins, with simpler or vice versa more distinctive phonetics and another writing are possible.

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.

==='''Native words'''===

Native words are derived by the method of false cognates. See the dictionary: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AvvQ7AreBWWLdGJvZXlCbjhiR19OZHFYOFgxdWtacnc&gid=0 https://docs.google.com...]

Native words are derived by the method of false cognates.
  +
−
===Loanwords===
  
  +
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):

Revision as of 14:07, 28 May 2020

The project exists and is developed since 2011. The author: Rosto

Main idea

Logotil150x

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 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.

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.

*neutron habe sun elektro chona - Neutron has zero electric charge.

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

singular plural

 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.
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:
- 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.
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.
