Ramnuny

A Conlang: Ramnuny

When i didn’t know writing-reading as a child I didn’t want to learn it, therefore my parents told me that “how can you preserve what you say without writing” then I told them “I can preserve it in egyptian, they draw instead of writing”, so Maybe the dislike of reading and writing was a start to my love of creating scripts and languages    

Ramnuny or Ramnunish is my first conlang, I started this thinking that I will make a crazy language which is better than every language on the earth, and I built it with this idea. But at the end I saw the lines and borders of a real language and I learnt how  language works. And I want to share what I’ve done to you. 

Firstly I’d meet you to the letters, Ramnuny wasn’t written in a specific alphabet, but I usually write it in hebrew alphabet. In Ramnuny every letter has a male/female partner, for example:“Alaph” is female and has male “Yût” as a partner.    æ/j...β/w...ʒ/χ...d/ð...h/ħ...z/ɹ... are all partners, so what this makes? For example, preposition “Khiy” means “Because” but when it’s “Khaa” it means “so”, and this Formula can be used to each word in the language. As you see, the language was about genders. For a first artificial language that sounded good to me, and after building this and many other features of Ramnuny at this point, I changed my ideas from making a lang for a chewbacca, to making a lang easier to learn and in borders of a real language. I made suffixes of genders for words and, it works a little bit different than normal gender suffixes does. For example the word corner, “salsûlah” (from aramaic origin şilşilah which means chain or series) is female, so what is a corner’s feature when it’s female J in spanish there is two types of corners rincones and esquinas one is a corner in the inside and the other is a corner in the outside, so instead of telling this with two different words, I gave genders to the word, although the female corner still different, it’s a convex corner and, the “salsûlin” is a concave.

in Ramnuny question for how many corners is “amaş salsûlah” the genders can be told better by female word “amaş” in Ramnuny which means how many, with the masculinisation suffix –n, amaş turns into anaş and this means how much. These are the parts I find unique in Ramnuny. And, this formula can be used in each word as well! So in a conlang I completed the base of mine, genders, now there is an open way for me to create a sentence.
