The Nald
The script of The Nald is similar to arabic and hebrew script, not including any consonants, word pronunciation and meaning mostly being interpolated through context clues.
Bsp: Halakwa(walk) helalam(slow) Ilr(I) ash(to) Atr(you) = I walk to you slowly.
The following letters never show up in Nald naming conventions (their script obviously doesn’t have any of these letters to begin with, this is mostly for naming conventions and stuff like that): c, j and q (kw is used instead).
Verbs usually end in an -a or -la. If they are based on a noun, they often also alter the structure of the word. Adjectives are usually formed by taking the noun they are based on and adding either an -am/-lam ending if the word is predominantly used to describe things, and -at/-rat if it is predominantly used to describe people.
Sometimes the structure of the base word is altered and there are some words which do not follow this structure, as inconsistencies exist in every language.
The King loves the queen, but the Queen hates the king. Hekla Eru lerem ash bari. Avasha Hri hre, sosh semala hre eshalam.
The Man gives food to the girl. She likes it, but it is too hot. Kazara Malekha amarat kash drakon mashal atr.
The immortal Queen of dragons rules over you. Naramla Anum naram resh naru.
