Loidarsideli
This is based loosely on English, Japanese, and Spanish.
Background on Loidarsideli
Loidarsideli first appeared in text in the year 2330 of the second rein the demigod, Ahnyanna.
Her teachings had not yet spread to the people beyond the eastern mountain barrier where Esliaev, another ruling god, resided.
Ahnyanna ordered them to learn the language as children.
She ruled her people with an iron fist, and many of them left for the teachings of Esliaev.
This angered the demigod and caused her to riot.
The three main ruling gods did not like the way Ahnyanna acted, so they banished her and her language to another realm for many hundreds of years.
This is when the written text first appeared. A small group of her followers that had gone to learn under Esliaev heard the news of her banishment
and decided to write an account of her happenings. It seemed fitting her language was used to detail her history.
The language she taught soon flourished and almost everyone learned how to read and write it.
When Ahnyanna finally returned, the descendants of her main supporters had a dispute with those of Esliaev and left the large group torn in half.
Ahnyanna’s children soon were granted a gift that was to forever change the lives of everyone on those lands.

Word Markers
‘ji’ is placed in the end of words to make them negative or opposite.
evaesidai – happy
evaesidaiji – unhappy
tule – tall
tuleji - short
In some cases, the negative version of a word is the only
one of its kind to exist; such is the case with ‘short’.
There is no separate word for ‘short’ besides the negative of ‘tall’.
So ‘short’ is literally read as ‘tall negative’.
‘pu’ is the equivalent to the question mark.
Question words: - kocomen (question)
‘pu’ must always be placed at the end of sentences and never at the end of words.
Bur – who
Dar – what
Zer – where
Nur – when
Kar- why
Laz- how
Okle – do*
*‘do’ is different than the verb ‘to do’ in this context.
It is only for questions – such as: “[Do] you like pancakes?”
The verb is only used to reinforce – such as: ‘I [do] like pancakes.”
In which instance you would leave out the verb entirely as it is understood.
‘vi’ makes things plural.
cat – mio
cats – miovi
‘se’ is used for connecting adjectives and amounts to nouns,
adverbs to verbs, and prepositions to their objects.
A happy cat – A evaesidai se mio
Four cats – Fove se miovi
The cat ran quickly – Ja mio chijali se klike.
The cat ran under the chair– Ja mio chijali bene se ja dedkes.
It doesn’t matter what order the words are in; ‘se’ is always in-between.
The cat quickly ran under the chair – Ja mio klike se chijali bene se ja dedkes.
‘me’ is added to the end of a verb infinitive to make it a noun if applicable.
a chijame – a walk
‘ma’ is used after verb markers to make commands.
hesaloma we – hear me
'ni' is placed on the end on verb infinitives to show continuous action.
writing - saepjani
For passive voice, take the infinitive of a verb and add ‘i’ on the end of it.
All verb infinitives end in an ‘a’. There are no exceptions.

100,000 – tonosh | 1,000,000 - tonoshi
Instead of saying the mouthful “cehnsh-ehns-nihn-tove” for 7,892,
you just say “ceve-eve-nihn-tove” or 7-8-90-2.
It is only required to say the entire tenths place.
Everything else can be said as the ones place number.
This also makes it easier to remember if you ever need to read
off large numbers and you forgot the word for what you wish to say.
