Nelstanian Language (Nelsch)

## Introduction

The Nelstanian language, or Nelsch, finds its roots in Andromic, a much similar sounding language with many of the same words and grammatical structures with few exceptions. Being that the nation of Androm had developed isolated of the other surrounding nations of Reigazon Basin, the language in turn sounds much different, being far more harsh-sounding than the other melodic languages of North-Western Kerahgor.

### Infinitive Markers:

To use an Infinitive Marker with a verb, attach it to the suffix of the root word, yet before the tense (E.g, Vochtich becomes Vochtenich.) However, if the root word's suffix cannot compound with the Infinitive Marker, then the Contingent Infinitive Marker will be used instead. (E.g, Dechbenich becomes Dechbenielenich instead of "Dechbenenich")

* To: -En/-Ielen

### Rules:

1. Nelstanian is a compound language, meaning that words can be combined together to form new meaning. In ordinary speech, this is most often done through combining nouns and adjectives. For example, Auster (Great/Grand) + Heis (General) = Austerheis (Grand General.) Adjectives however cannot compound with other adjectives. "Z" May sometimes be used to connect words.
2. When compounding two words together, if the suffix of the first word cannot match with the prefix of the second word (for example, Fa**sch** and **Zier**bzietreich) then the suffix of the first word will be silent (Faschzierbzietreich is pronounced as Fazierbzietreich.)
3. Nelstanian middle names have 4 different types of variants that generally receive usage based on geography. "Von" is typically used in the North West such as Solach, Anghelig, and north Dagerwie. "Van" is used in north-central and north-eastern Ehrendier. "Var" is used in the south and sometimes in Dagerwie. Herzienie Nelstanians typically make up unique, gender-neutral middle names. After 100 V.R, this shifted so that Von is used for Solach and Herzien, "Vor" is for Anghelig, "Var" is for Ehrendier, and "Vin" is for Dagerwie.
4. To make a word plural in Nelstanian, just add an "s" at the end of the word. However if the word already ends with an "s" or "sch" then "en" would be placed after the "s." For example, the plural of "Heis" is "Heisen."
5. The "zma" suffix is typically used to describe an ideology, especially if the word is borrowed from another language.
6. The "ar" suffix is typically used to describe a certain group of people, and will often be placed after another noun to serve as the basis of the type of person being referred to. For example, "communism" translates to "komüniezma" and "communist" translates to "komünar."
7. "The" can be used to directly refer to someone as a polite way to sound less direct. (e.g, Die Sier in direct referral to a king or lord.)
8. "W" usually makes the standard "Wuh" sound, however in title words such as Walteher, it is pronounced as "Vuh." That being said, most title words with the V sound are instead spelled with a W, though this is largely only applicable if the W is the first letter of the word. Likewise, the few cases where there are ordinary words that switch the W and V sound, it is only when the word starts with a W.
9. "Eher" makes the sound "Ay-er" when it is used as a suffix (E.g, "Seher.") However, when preceding other characters, it will make the one syllable sound—"Ayr." (E.g "Heischehern")
