¡Agêtinde l-Avorentas errakémenteo!
Welcome to the Avorenta language lessons!
These are the new lessons following a new method to teach you my conlang. I try to make it as easy as possible, but if something is still unclear, please tell me! I also look forward to your opinion about the language and to your ideas about the content of the lessons besides the grammar part. So feel free to post the sentences and words which you'd like to know in Avorenta!
More information
(You can find some sound samples too on the "Translations, texts" page)

Mér śir
(I "Bettélege, verekke" h-elwixóro ćevil garqentoru si nógunni)
So, let's start, good luck - ¡Felt ö-ligrum! ;-)
ANX ÉMENT - FIRST LESSON
Alphabet and pronunciation - Orvidjúl et úcórán
Avorenta is written in its own script called Háfrigvotán, but now to make it more user-friendly, I'll use the official romanisation.
Vowels:
Short: a â e ê i o ö u y(ü)
/ Q a E e i o 2 u y /
Long: á é í ó ő ú ý(ű)
/ a: e: i: o: 2: u: y: /
- Be careful: length (as well as the a-â and e-ê distinction) is very important because it can distinguish words with a totally different meaning.
- Noöne will kill you if you pronounce "a" /a/.
- ö is /@/ as a linking vowel (eg. word initial ö-).
Consonants:
b c ć d dz f g h ch j k l m n ń p q r s ś t v w x z
/ b t_s t_S d d_z f g h C,x j k l m n J p k,t_s r s S t v w ks z /
- Long consonants are doubled (eg. ff, gg, cch) and are to be pronounced long.
- q = [t_s] before e, ê, é, i and í but [k] elsewhere.
- ch = [x] after a, â, á, o, ó, u and ú but [C] elsewhere.
The alternative spelling
If your computer doesn't support accented letters, you can use this one.
- â, ê = a6, e6
- ć, ń, ś = c6, n6, s6 (6 comes from the Cyrillic letter ь)
- ö = 8
- Long vowels are followed by a colon: a: e: i: o: 8: u: y:
