This is just the language of my fairies. It's influenced mainly by Greek, but there are hints of German, Irish Gaelic, and even eensy weensy bits of French, Norweigian, and Japanese. I made this so I can have a cross-platform place to work on the language. It gets tiring having to email it back and forth between the computer, my tablet, and the iPad. :) You can tell that most of these words were invented for use in the farÿ version of Bohemian Rhapsody, LOL!
A: as in father or the u in uh.
Ä: as in Addison
AE: As the a in today
AŸ: as the i in Caroline
E: as in very (can be silent)
Y: as in the i in Paris.
Ÿ: as in the second i of pristine
CH: Pronouced as in German and Hebrew in the middle of words; if it's the beginning of a word it's pronounced as in English.
Q: Pronounced like the letter K.
J: Pronounced like a mixture of J and SH
R: Pronounced slightly rolled. Your tongue should brush the roof of your mouth slightly.

*Since the sh symbol is used to mark possession, "our" is aÿsh _____

Verbs:
Verbs are defined by the suffix -ne, which marks present tense. The suffix -nea is the equivalent of -ed, and -naÿ is -ing. The suffix -nae marks future tense, and -nech/nechshÿ marks perfect tense. (Have/have not ____) Some words lack forms using certain suffixes.
Plural verbs don't use the normal plural suffix, -laÿ. Instead they tack an L onto the end.
