Things written in Sandic.

 A list of Sandic writings.

Hi!  This is a list of all the stuff written in Sandic.  The list is split into two parts: Translated words and Original works.  I'll let you figure out which is which.  

All entries below are sorted by date translated (if applicable, otherwise an approximate date is used).  

This list was last updated on 08 Dec 2013!

PLEASE NOTE:  This is an outdated list, and the links are a bit wonky. :)  They still work, but you need to edit the links to make the target url "OLD-wytn-awake.blogspot.com"  rather than simply "wytn-awake.blogspot.com"  Okay?

Reading híies tsidai.

Created for me by a friend (cntrational), híies tsidai has proven to be quite the gift. I hadn't realised, honestly, how much the traditional form of writing modern Sandic has become aged and really no longer represented the sounds of the language "as she is spoke". Therefore, the alternate writing system has emerged, and I have put it into good use.

Here's how to read it:

Vowels:

a      /ɑː/
ha     /hɑː/
hha    /xɑː/
e      /ɛ/
é      /e/
i      /ɪ/
í      /aɪ/
ie     /i/
u      /ʌ/
ou     /u/
ó      /o/

Consonants:

b      /b/
ç      /ʃ/
s      /s/
d      /d/
f      /f/
g      /g/
h      /h/
hh     /x/
j      /dʒ/
k      /k/
l      /l/
m      /m/
n      /n/
p      /p/
r      /r/ 
rr     /ɹ/
t      /t/
ts     /ts/
v      /v/
w      /w/
y      /j/
z      /z/

Lesson one - nouns and verbs

I recently stumbled across a collection of awesome free language lessons here. They piqued my interest, and so I've started to work them into the Sandic language. A special thank-you to Gary Shannon, who made the lessons free-to-use and translate (see relevant mailing list post here).

These lessons will use the híies tsidai instead of the traditional latin writing method, to make it easier for learners (ha ha, I know, I know) to access and understand pronunciations. Below is lesson number one.

(EDIT, 31 May 2012: added traditional writing in parentheses.)

Sandic Nouns and Articles

Sandic does not have grammatical noun genders such as one finds in German or French. The noun system is relatively straightforward and hopefully not confusing. The only interesting thing to see for subject nouns is that there is no indefinite article (“a _____”).

díó (dîo) a book
sourí (surî) a pen

Nouns do, however, inflect for number and case. For example, in the sentence “I have a pen”, the accusative form of the noun (in this case, “souríp”) would be used:

díóp (dîob), a book (acc.)
souríp (surîb), a pen (acc.)

Nouns also inflect for number.

díón (dîon), books
sourín (surîn), pens

díopi (dîobin), books (acc.)
sourípi (surîbin), pens (acc.)

Depending on whether the noun is singular or plural, there are different articles to be used (accusative doesn't affect the article):

Ba díó (ba dîo), the book
Ba sourí (ba surî), the pen

Ta díon (ta dîon), the books
Ta sourín (ta surîn), the pens


Verbs do not “conjugate”, per se, but they take instead a simple marker which indicates what is doing the verb.

Ehhilét (elëlét), I have
Péhhilét (pélëlét), You have

Here the markers are e- and pé-, for I and you.

Exercises

Sourí(p) (surî(b)), pencil
Sourí(p) jekhai (surî jekai), pen
Dío(p) (dîo(b)), book
Mé / wí (mé / wî), and
Paé(p) (paé(b)), paper
ehhilét (elëlét), I have
péhhilét (pélëlét), you have

Kambâ frn adania, tavel, wî klamekfo - A father, a son, and a donkey

This is another story from the Panchatantra (what can I say, I love them)! This is one of the few I've translated that doesn't somehow involve a crow. >.>

Original can be found here.

You can't please everyone.

Pal sem - Pal siem - At the edge

Found a good quote, translated it for the heck of it.


Traditional:
Fian pal sem olëéféd, kaxmî. A awwtem, oxmî. Fian pal sem olëéféd, kaxmî. Kian oxféd. Otian kaxjjelu wî oxlëanég.

Híies sidai:
Fen pal siem ohhéféd, kasmí. A awtiem, osmí. Fen pal siem ohhéféd, kasmí. Ken osféd. Ten kasjelou ví oshhanég.

Original:
Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew.

Retranslation:
Come to me at the end, he said. But we are afraid, they said. Come to me at the end, he said. They went to him. He pushed them and they flew.
