Okay, welcome to my lesson of Ayurian!

First, some background:
Ayurian is the sole language of the Ayurian Empire. They made sure of this by banning all tribal languages, and the previous dominant language, Saeulo.
Ayurian began as a tribal language, spoken by the people of the valleys of Ayur, east of the Saeulo, but as the religion of the Earth Bound God spread, so did the spread of the language- until the empire was dominant enough to overthrow the entire Saeulo culture, and leave its history and records in ruins.
The people of Ayuira flourish under a very strong theocracy, headed by the Earth Bound God himself. Their language has been shaped by their new, radical religious beliefs. They were mainly sun-worshipers, until the Earth Bound God was 'cast down by a demon of great strength from the sun itself'. The Earth Bound God desires to return to the heavens, but is unable to for the presence of the demon. Therefore, he claims he must have control over the entire mortal world, in order to smite the demon and bring peace to the land.

Now, the alphabet:
For your convenience, and because I don't know how to make a font on the computer- all the lessons will be in the Roman script.
This is the Ayurian alphabet:
First the vowels:
A- sounds like AH
E- sounds like EH
I- sounds like EE
O- sounds like OH (note, when there are two Os together, it makes the OO sound, like in "who")
U- sounds like UH
AY- like a short I
AE- Latin dipthong

And consonants:
sh- like in shamrock
th- like in "thing"
t
s
l
v
n
m
b
k
' a glottal stop
rr (rolled "r" sound)
r (English "r" sound)
tx (a fricative, the same as in Na'vi. Basically, a "t" sound so hard it's almost a 'click')
kx (another fricative, also found in Na'vi. A very hard "k" sound that almost sounds like a 'click)
ch- like in "chicken"
d
h


Now, let's give you some basic words. First, pronouns:
There are only two grammatical numbers in Ayurian- singular and plural. The plural marker "Tha-" literally means "many", and is added to everything that is NOT singular, as will be observed in the pronoun list:
I- Sharr
You- Dool
He- Txi
She- Kxi
It- Chirr
We- Thasharr ('many of I'- therefore, 'we' is a very inclusive group.)
You (plural)- Thadool ('many of you', can sometimes be used to be exclusive or derogatory, in polite conversation, it's best to use "thasharr")
Thatxi (many of him- many men)
Thakxi (many of her- many women)
Thachirr (many of it- used for inhuman objects, NOT mixed crowds)
Thatxikxi (used for mixed crowds of men and women)

The human word- mah
This word literally means "mortal" or "human", and is used in conjunction with pronouns or is used on its own to mean "human".
As explained above, "Tha-" is used for pluralizing nouns- so "humans" is "thamah". However, it is more common to hear "thatximah" (men). "thamah" is mostly for the South-Eastern dialect, of the conquered Tieta land).
Now, a human of high-esteem, like a high priest or priestess or anyone else of honor, gets the title "mahnah" (literally, 'great mortal'). This term is also used for anyone who is a great champion- like a war hero or high priest.
Great man- tximahnah
Great woman- kximahnah
(women more often receive the title "mahnah" by marrying a "tximahnah" than by actually accomplishing anything).

Some nouns:
omaek- chocolate (note- this was actually a word from the Tieta language, but it didn't translate into Ayurian, so they kept the word)
mehrr- day
muhd- shoe
vael- meal
ayayshi- light
vaykah- courage
rusta- voice
viski- wind
baduh-sorrow
shish- kiss
moreh- door
dirr- word
slaesh- death

Verbs:
For right now, you will learn the simple present tense. This is the same as "she runs". This is NOT the continuous present, as in "she is running".
Much like English, Ayurian verbs have a suffix to denote the tense of the verb.
In this case- the present tense suffix is "-ae".
Here are some verbs in their infinitive form- basically the form of "to run". in order to make the present tense, simply add "-ae" to the end of it.
Here are some verbs:
behe- to eat
duvit- to destroy
rrakx- to roar
laho- to speak/say
sisibr- to love (romantically)
slaesh- to die (note that it is the same as the noun 'death')
svak- to stab
rustil- to take
aeth- to know
dirrmatx- to translate (literally "word change", as matx= to change and dirr= word)

Now, for a brief lesson in word order:
Like in Japanese, the sentence order is SOV- or Subject, Object, Verb.
Instead of particles, Ayurian uses noun suffixes to denote object. Subjects do not have a suffix, but objects have the suffix "-e". If the object ends in a vowel, the suffix becomes "-te". Simple enough, right?
So, here are some simple sentences:
Sharr doole sisibrae- I love you
Kxi omaeke beheae- She eats chocolate

Try some on your own!
