Welcome to the language of Ðabnøt.

I am creating this language in friendly competition with my collegue, Jhex. I decided to reach to my past and give this language a Polish/Hebrew sound. To start, here's the complete wordlist.

 

Note: ø is a rounded e, and ch is a Hebrew ch.

As you'll note, this lang would give a Tigerian a headache. Also note the different forms for nouns used as subjects/predicate nominatives and objects, as well as the interesting verb system, almost reminiscent of English. I went for sound, not structure here.

 

A couple more notes:

 

•Noun pluralization is achieved by adding the suffix -ich.
•Negative sentences require the correct form of the verb "do" as well as the negator, nik.
•Sentence structure follows a VSO structure
•The pronoun "I" is ommitted when a subject
•The preposition "to" is indicated by the prefix v'- before its object. Likewise, "with" is indicated by the zi'-.
•"To" is always used before the object of a transitive verb.
