Crawler Language

This language is conceptual and designed to be.
The mod can be downloaded from the in-game mod browser.
If something does not suit you, create an issue.

Alphabet

The crawler alphabet has 19 letters and no capitals.
a b c d e g h i l m n o p r s t u w y

Some combinations of letters form their own sounds.
th[ð] ph[θ] sh[ʂ] ch[t͡ɕ]

Some signs have their own name and are pronounced in speech.
?[as'] ![vɒu] ;[ɲj]

Word Formation

Everything is simple, there are roots, prefixes and endings, the last two are needed to change the meaning of the word. Prefixes are at the beginning, roots are in the middle, and endings are separated from the root with the sign `. There are only a few endings and prefixes.
e[plural] i[verb] or[occupation] thio[transformation]
al[all] aly[any] no[negation] la[adjective] tha[forced adjective] othe[other] re[repetition] owe[over] ay[self] sau[start of action]
Ending e and thio can be combined with ending or. Ending thio can be used as a noun or verb.

  • ingin - engineering
  • ingin`or - engineer
  • ingin`ore - engineers
  • ingin`i - to engineer
  • ingin`thio - becoming an engineer
  • ingin`thior - mentor engineer
  • otheingin`or - other engineer
  • lamawo - wet
  • thamawo - wetted

Adjectives

Adjectives are formed using the prefixes la and tha, the latter means that the characteristic was given to the subject forcibly.

  • lawuic - fast
  • thasouwl - slowed

If the adjective comes before the word to which it refers, then the prefix la is not put for reasons of space.

  • wuic ayowl dot wuic nim`i
  • wuic ener pharom ayowl

Sentence Formation

Sentences consist of a subject and content parts acting as a predicate, adjective or object. Content parts are separated from the subject by the question they answer.

  • ayowl dot? - what am I doing?
  • ayowl dot drim`i - I sleep.

Sentences are separated by a dot and a particle of time is placed at the end, but for convenience, you can not put a particle of time if the previous sentence has a particle of the same time, or replace it with a content part.

  • ayowl dot drim`i niw . yoy dot spiar`i niw - I am sleeping now. You're talking now.
  • ayowl dot drim`i yet . yoy dot spiar`i - I was asleep. You were talking.
  • ayowl dot drim`i at neybl - I sleep at night.

If there are several content parts in the sentence related to the same subject, then they are separated by a semicolon. Exception - en and ale.

  • ayowl dot wioko`i ma spor niw - the first content part is related to ayowl and the second part is related to wioko
  • adpromet ma medi; arch wuic phur - both parts related to adpromet

There are well-established expressions in the language, i.e. instead of ayowl dot cu`i co yoy niw you can say just cu. Or for example nim nim translates as delicious.
