Creating a language using another as a base template is rather difficult.
I want to combine Shengese culture, and Faeborne culture.
The first step to that, is creating a shared cultural identity through language. Something to call our own, a combination of Sheng, and Dal'Thala. I think I'm going to maintain the 'accent' used within our tongue as a means to bind independent words together
In our dialect, this accent would indicate these words are pronounced together, rather than apart.
"Dor'alanor"
A formal greeting, it means "Hello".
I think, it's wise to keep the ' whilst shifting around the former half of the statement.
One form of saying such, in both an informal and formal manner in Shengese would be "Konnichiwa"
"Dor'ichiwa"
Hey, that actually doesn't sound too bad. Does it? This would be a formal version of the term "Hello". Though the literal meaning isn't known in Faeborne, I will insert the literal meaning to be "Good Weather!"
"Lora meni'al"
A farewell, meaning 'walk safely' literally.
I remember my first experience hearing Shengese, it had been when Miyumi told me "Sayonara". This is referenced to be "Farewell" or "Goodbye" and it's very formal.
"Lora nari'al"
This would literally mean "Fair weather!" However, it's conversational meaning would be "Goodbye"
"Sal'ashi"
Typically used to indicate excitement. In shengese, if you really want to express your excitement, you say "Sosoruze, kore wa!”
So, perhaps if we combine this in some manner it can work..
"Kore'wa'ashi"
Literal meaning being: "Sun's out!" However, it's to express excitement. I think this is a good start, maybe the clan can acclimate quickly to this. I bet speaking to other Faeborne may be somewhat difficult, however as some words are shared, some understanding can be had.
I'll keep working on this. For now, this is all I can do. Ah.. In the event I perish, I sure hope someone finds this journal and continues this...
