__TOC__
 
==Introduction==
Ganoom as a language was developed by Deider (vocabulary) and Vergilius (grammar). Others have added their thoughts to the language, but the language itself has not yet been approved. Those who study and use ganoom should be aware of its status as an unofficial language.
 
Currently, [http://www.avlis.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4356 Deider] is the one to talk to if you want to suggest a word or grammar rule.
 
==The Basics of the Ganoom Language==
 
===Ganoom Style===
Ganoom is derived from [[Dwergan|dwergan]], and it should be sort of 'German-esque' in sound. The grammar is Indo-European in nature and verbs are fully inflected to represent changes in time, aspect, voice, mood, person and number.
 
===Grammar===
 
Most of these are rules of thumb; grammar is a complex thing to invent, but can serve as an effective way for learners and creators of a language to deduce new vocabulary from existing vocabulary.
 
==== Definite and Indefinite Articles====
Gnomish does not have definite or indefinite articles (i.e., the, a/an). How we inflect the noun indicates references. The only manner in which you indicate the, this, or that, is by declining the noun as follows:
 
* The : -ost
* This : -esh
* That : -aukn
 
When a word to be declined ends with a vowel, drop the vowel (including the diphtongs such as "au" and "oo") of the word to be declined. Then, add the declension.
 
'''''Examples'''''

  | Loolost
  | rowspan=3 | -i dropped since it ends with a vowel
|-
  | This hole
  | Loolesh
|-
  | That hole
  | Loolaukn
|}
 
====Negation====
 
Firstly, "no" in ganoom is simply "ne".
* "Schnauzenweil?" (Is your nose clean?)
* "Ne." (No.)
 
When "no" is exclaimed, as in a shout or any strong expression, it is "neen!".
* "Schnauzenweil?" (Is your nose clean?)
* "Neen!" (No!)
 
: ''More on negation later.''
 
====Plurals====
 
All plurals in gnomish end with -s, except when the word end with a consonant, in which case add -es.
 
====Verbs====
 
All ganoom verbs end with the suffix ''-och''. The infinitive form of a verb can be used as a noun : to die, or ''jersaak'', could also mean the action of dying, or ''death''. To use a verb only the primitive part of the verb should be inflected, the infinitive complement (''-och'') should be removed, or it will be the noun and not the verb.
 
=====Inflecting Verbs=====
 
Inflecting a ganoom verb means adding the complement pronouns of the verb to the primitive part of the verb. Additional suffixes modify the tense of the verb.  The verb ''to be'', however, does this slightly differently than most verbs and is irregular, as shown in the following table.

====Vocations====
: ''Doer of a noun or a verb''
 
When someone becomes a doer of noun or a verb, such as a "warrior" or a "wizard", usually the suffix ''-otik'' is added to the base verb or noun If the base verb or noun ends with a vowel, that vowel is removed.
 
'''Examples:'''
* To fight: '''stikkoch'''
** Warrior: '''stikkotik'''.
 
* Magic: '''zata'''
** Magician: '''zatotik'''.
 
Since ''-och'' is the ending for all ganoom verbs and zata ends with a vowel.
 
====Honorifics====
 
Gnomes tend to call people by their title or occupation followed by their name.


==The Basics of the Gnomish Language==
'''Examples:'''
* '''Stikkotik Franz''': Warrior Franz
* '''Zatotik Thom''': Magus Thom


===Gnomish style===
When a title or occupation is not known, '''Harr''' (Mister) or '''Froo''' (Mrs./Ms.) is used.


Gnomish is derived from dwarvish, and it should be sort of 'German-esque' in sound. The grammar is Indo-European in nature and verbs are fully inflected to represent changes in time, aspect, voice, mood, person and number.

==Gnomish Vocabulary==
=== Ganoom Vocabulary Creation Guidelines ===
 
Remember that ganoom is '''germanesque''' in sound and based on dwergen. Do the following when making ganoom vocabulary:
* Look for an existing dwergen term.
* If a term exists, use the rules Deider and company specified to convert it to ganoom.
* If such word exists, use German, Dutch, a Scandanavian language or Afrikaans and make something up, still keeping to the language conversion guidelines.
 
=== Ganoom Alphabet and Phonetics ===
 
==== Vowels ====
Ganoom has ten vowels, five short and five long, as written below:
: Short vowels: a, e, i, o, u<br/>
: Long vowels: aa, au, ei, ie, oo
 
==== Consonants ====
A few ganoom consonants can are expressed in Common as letter combinations.
: They are: sch, spl, chz, kn, tz, znt
 
==== Miscellaneous Rules ====
There are no ‘''th''’ sounds in ganoom.

Introduction

Ganoom as a language was developed by Deider (vocabulary) and Vergilius (grammar). Others have added their thoughts to the language, but the language itself has not yet been approved. Those who study and use ganoom should be aware of its status as an unofficial language.

Currently, Deider is the one to talk to if you want to suggest a word or grammar rule.

The Basics of the Ganoom Language

Ganoom Style

Ganoom is derived from dwergan, and it should be sort of 'German-esque' in sound. The grammar is Indo-European in nature and verbs are fully inflected to represent changes in time, aspect, voice, mood, person and number.

Grammar

Most of these are rules of thumb; grammar is a complex thing to invent, but can serve as an effective way for learners and creators of a language to deduce new vocabulary from existing vocabulary.

Definite and Indefinite Articles

Gnomish does not have definite or indefinite articles (i.e., the, a/an). How we inflect the noun indicates references. The only manner in which you indicate the, this, or that, is by declining the noun as follows:

  • The : -ost
  • This : -esh
  • That : -aukn

When a word to be declined ends with a vowel, drop the vowel (including the diphtongs such as "au" and "oo") of the word to be declined. Then, add the declension.

Examples

Orc

Common Gnome Notes
Orc Mukn  
The orc Muknost
This orc Muknesh
That orc Muknaukn

Night

Common Gnome Notes
Night Nagi  
The night Nagost -i dropped since it ends with a vowel
This night Nagesh
That night Nagaukn

Hole

Common Gnome Notes
Hole Looli  
The hole Loolost -i dropped since it ends with a vowel
This hole Loolesh
That hole Loolaukn

Negation

Firstly, "no" in ganoom is simply "ne".

  • "Schnauzenweil?" (Is your nose clean?)
  • "Ne." (No.)

When "no" is exclaimed, as in a shout or any strong expression, it is "neen!".

  • "Schnauzenweil?" (Is your nose clean?)
  • "Neen!" (No!)
More on negation later.

Plurals

All plurals in gnomish end with -s, except when the word end with a consonant, in which case add -es.

Verbs

All ganoom verbs end with the suffix -och. The infinitive form of a verb can be used as a noun : to die, or jersaak, could also mean the action of dying, or death. To use a verb only the primitive part of the verb should be inflected, the infinitive complement (-och) should be removed, or it will be the noun and not the verb.

Inflecting Verbs

Inflecting a ganoom verb means adding the complement pronouns of the verb to the primitive part of the verb. Additional suffixes modify the tense of the verb. The verb to be, however, does this slightly differently than most verbs and is irregular, as shown in the following table.

Regular Simple Present
to sing (chonnoch)

Singular Plural
Common Gnome Common Gnome
I sing chonn-isch we sing chonn-eimer
you sing chonn-en you sing chonn-otter
he sings chonn-um    
she sings chonn-aam    
it sings chonn-he they sing chonn-at

Irregular Simple Present
to be (auch)

Singular Plural
Common Gnome Common Gnome
I am m-auch we are z-auch
you are d-auch you are y-auch
he is t-auch    
she is t-auch    
it is edh-auch they are sed-auch

Vocations

Doer of a noun or a verb

When someone becomes a doer of noun or a verb, such as a "warrior" or a "wizard", usually the suffix -otik is added to the base verb or noun If the base verb or noun ends with a vowel, that vowel is removed.

Examples:

  • To fight: stikkoch
    • Warrior: stikkotik.
  • Magic: zata
    • Magician: zatotik.

Since -och is the ending for all ganoom verbs and zata ends with a vowel.

Honorifics

Gnomes tend to call people by their title or occupation followed by their name.

Examples:

  • Stikkotik Franz: Warrior Franz
  • Zatotik Thom: Magus Thom

When a title or occupation is not known, Harr (Mister) or Froo (Mrs./Ms.) is used.

Ganoom Vocabulary Creation Guidelines

Remember that ganoom is germanesque in sound and based on dwergen. Do the following when making ganoom vocabulary:

  • Look for an existing dwergen term.
  • If a term exists, use the rules Deider and company specified to convert it to ganoom.
  • If such word exists, use German, Dutch, a Scandanavian language or Afrikaans and make something up, still keeping to the language conversion guidelines.
