= Keviayi Vālidiko (1) =
Keviayi Vālidiko is the first book of the series, and is about the very bare basics of the language.
It describes the following topics:
* An extremely brief overview of Valdic culture
* Consonants
* Vowels
* Pronouns
* Numbers
* Greeting/farewell
(The following has slightly been edited to fit a wiki page more, spelling and such remains the same)
== Thīoyi (1) - Reyī vāania Vālidiko? - What is Valdic? ==
Valdic (Vālidiko) refers to the valdic people, culture or language. The Valdic People mainly reside in Rathnir's Sørligste, though at times appear elsewhere. The Valdic language (aka: Viayi) is simple at first glance and complex as you tack on words. Every word in West Valdic is either a root word which has a simple meaning, or is a mix of words combined.
Example:
* Muvāaleshuro - Assassin
* Muvāale - To Kill
* Shuro - Occupation
* Muvāa - Dead
* Lea - To Cause
* Muo - Opposite of
* Vāa - Exist
* Shu - Person
* Ro - To do
Assassin roughly means "Person who makes someone stop existing", entirely made from other words. West Valdic voices EVERY vowel seperate, so "Vāa" (to be) is pronounced "vaa'a".
== Thīoya (2) - Romuyire - Consonants ==
West Valdic has these 14 consonants:
p, t, d, k, v, ð (th), ʃ (sh), tʃ (tsh), h, m, n, l, r and j (y).
ALL syllables MUST start with a consonant in West-Valdic.
== Thīoyu (3) - Roduyire - Vowels ==
West Valdic has these 14 vowels:
i, i: (ī), a, a: (ā), e, o and u.
Almost all words (except for pronouns, places and names) MUST end with a vowel. Words with multiple syllables might be shortenable by replacing the last vowel with an apostrofe.
== Thīoyo (4) - Roshuyire - Pronouns ==
There are a handful of common pronouns in West Valdic.
Singular people:
* Tī     - I, Me
* Sho   - You (single)
* Pe    - He
* Yā    - She
* Mir    - They, Them
Plural people/misc:
* Kīd   - You (plural)
* Kīl    - We, Us
* Mir    - They, Them
* Tshir - Someone  
Nonhuman:
* Roā  - It
* Reo  - This
* Reyā - That
* Reyī - What
"They/Them", similarily to english, functions both singular and plural, yet usually context defuses any confusion.
== Thīopī (5) - Rothīo - Numbers ==
As the (second) last part of the first book, we shall go over the basics of numbers. The West-Valdic numerical system has 20 numbers. All numbers begin with "Thīo-", and the two letters after are the number itself.
* Ko, 0
* Yī, 1
* Ya, 2
* Yu, 3
* Yo, 4
* Pī, 5
* Pa, 6
* Pu, 7
* Po, 8
* Thī, 9
* Tha, 10
* Thu, 11
* Tho, 12
* Mī, 13
* Ma, 14
* Mu, 15
* Mo, 16
* Tī, 17
* Ta, 18
* Tu, 19
* To, 20
Numbers above 20 repeat with a simplified version after the "Thīo-"
* Thīotu, thīoto, thīoyi-yī.
* 19, 20, 1-1
* 19, 20, 21
Ordinal designations (1st, 2nd, etc) are done by adding "-ro" to the end of the number.
* Thīoyaro - 2nd
* Thīoyu-mīro - 73rd
* Thīoyi-ya-yo - 444th
*    E.T.C
Dates are written Year/Day/Month.
== Thīopa (6) - Ketsha - Good day! ==
Ketsha is a greeting and a means to end conversation, it literally means "Good day", and that's the end of the first book. In the next book we shall tackle vocab and conjugation, Ketsha!
