Aquilanic

Aquilanic (Je Daqua) is the official language of the Aquilan people and the Aquilan Crownlands (J'Aquilana Coratebas). It is believed to be a derivative of the mysterious Runic Seraphi language, which is only able to be spoken and understood by Seraphs and beings of Seraphi Blood. Aquilanic is an admired and beautiful language that is commonly used outside of the Aquilan borders for mercantile purposes and love letters. Many travelers to Azuris during the Syzygy learn simple Aquilanic phrases in order to interact more easily with Aquilan merchants and Pradats (Guards), while foreign children commonly learn Aquilanic phrases from popular festival songs.

If a noun begins with a vowel, use J'(noun). EX: J'Aquila instead of Je Aquila

''To'' (a) is also not needed in reference to locations with specific names or named people Ex. Bonjafa Aquila instead, not Bonjafa a Aquila

It is also not need for verbs, Ex Valati asir not Valati a asir

I have eaten/I ate/I was eating, are all the same tense in Aquilanic, they are just the 'past tense' so I have wanted/I wanted/ I was wanting - Valatim

Similarly I eat/ I do eat/ I am eating, are all the same tense in Aquilanic, they are just the 'present tense' so I eat/I do eat/I am eating - Kastati

Subject pronouns are not needed, but can be included where it is not clear who is performing the action.

Object pronouns go before the verb

For all verbs the noun or adjective of the verb such eg, 'the praising' or 'the praise' are one word (Quola), this applies to all verbs just remove the -R from the end. The resulting word may also have several other meaning such as Quola also meaning Praiser/Worshipper
