== Base language ==
==New work in progress==
The elves of Avlis were created by a god named [[Dru'El]]. In his mortal life, he was a human who got instructions from the elven god Corellon Larethian on how to make elves when he became a god.
This is not official avlis lore yet and has no team approval. Please don't use this IG yet.  


== Titanian Sylvan ==
The fey of Avlis not created by [[O'Ma]] were created by a goddess named [[Titania]]. The version of Sylvan spoken by her people will usually have much more in common with its equivalent from other worlds, planes and game settings than other avlissian languages because she brought this with her. However over time this language has been modified and adapted to Avlis becoming influenced by Nanshilae and through the dynamics of language evolution. In this latter case the avlissian languages that Titanian Sylvan has influenced such as fairy common and Avlissian Sylvan.


Dru'El was fascinated by the spirit population that used to inhabit Avlis before the time of the gods. Unfortunately, most (almost all) of them were wiped out in the battle between the nine gods and the evil Negerai invader god which nearly destroyed Avlis in the beginning. The population of spirits was low to begin with because even before the major deities ascended to godhood, the Negerai had gated in hoards of Tanar'ri which began to EAT the spirits.
Titanian Sylvan is primarily used as a court language. Conservatives in the Titanian community, particularly well placed unseelie fey, will grouse about the diminished status of their primary tongue but will understand, even if they refuse to admit, that this is simply the reality of their lives on avlis.


This language is not complete in grammar or a unified, consistent word list. It does provide a base for further development of this language and by extension other Titanian languages. Should this language ever be completed it would not be incorrect to use its modified vocabulary list to make changes to the fairy common languages vocabulary. Since fairy common and avlissian titanian are both based on Nanshilae grammar that aspect of those two languages should not change since the grammar of titanian sylvan will be unique to it, and the titanian languages it inspires.


Still, Dru'El wanted the language of his elven people to be the same language that was once spoken by the benevolent nature spirits that inhabited the world. He made due with whatever fragments could be found and filled in the rest himself. Thus, the elven language on Avlis today is a derivative of the spirit language and therefore differs greatly from elven languages on other worlds such as Krynn or Toril or Middle Earth.
The word the spirits used to describe themselves as a whole was ''"Nanshae"'' (pronounced: non-SHAY). Later over time, the elves adopted this word to describe the elven species as a whole, but it was spelled Nanshi and pronounced ''"NON-shee"''. However, the elves in the Northern part of the country still use the old pronunciation of ''"non-SHAY"''.
Apostrope's in the Avlissian elven language are often used to denote the word "of", much like slang English will use o', as in "pile o' stuff". Except in elven it's proper usage. The Avlissian elven word for land is Tana (TA-na) and the early elven name for their nation was Tan' Nanshi, later shortened to T'Nanshi, or "Land of the Elves".
===Interesting note about Drangonari Elves:===
The drangonari elves were a creation by the god Angadar. When he ascended to godhood, he immediately got the lofty idea to create a race of his own, and taking the form of one of his enemies, an avariel (winged) elf, Angadar corrupted the form into the drangonari. They are almost identical to the avariel in stature and build, and they even once had leathery wings in place of the angelic wings of the avariel. Also in place of soft white skin they have dark green scales much like a lizard, and they always have black hair.
Through an unknown and disasterous series of events, 99.99% of all drangonari lost their wings, and the ones born today do not have them at all. Few remaining ones do, and they are considered to be direct descendants of Angadar himself, whom the drangonari all revere, even if they don't openly worship him.
Angadar was once a mortal elf born on Toril, which is the planet of the Forgotten Realms setting. The elven language which HE speaks IS the Forgotten Realms elven language, and that is the language which he taught to his creations.
So on Avlis, the old elven language that is seen in so many other campaign worlds is actually the spoken language of the drangonari! So, you may want to watch what language you speak in front of the Avlissian high elves!

<div align="justify">
====Single/Plural:====
 
If the word ends in a consonant, add "-en". If the word ends in a vowel, add "n".
 
===== Present Indicative tense =====
'''Singular verbs, remove the as ending and use the stem by itself:'''
 
:* I guard 'Eni shemar''
 
:* You guard ''Ta shemar''
 
:* He/She/It guards ''Loo/Lah/Loo shemar.''
 
 
'''Plural verbs, add -u to the stem:'''
 
:* We guard ''Nethnu shemaru''
 
:* You guard ''Tem shemaru''
 
:* They guard ''Loom shemaru''
 
 
===== Present Perfect tense: =====
 
In the present perfect tense, it is not necessary to use the pronoun. Thus, I guarded, "Eni shemarti", can be "shemarti". Accent is on the second syllable in this tense.
 
 
:* I guarded ''shemarti''
 
:* You guarded ''shemarta''
 
:* He guarded ''shemaroe''
 
:* She guarded ''shemarah''
 
 
:* We guarded ''shemarnu''
 
:* You guarded ''shemartem''
 
:* They guarded ''shemaroo''
 
 
===== Future imperfect: =====
 
:* I will guard ''Eni e'shemar''
 
:* You will guard ''Ta tee'shemar''
 
:* He/She/It will guard ''loo/lah/loo ye'shemar''
 
 
:* We will guard ''Nethnu ne'shemar''
 
:* You (pl) will guard ''Tem tee'shemaru''
 
:* They will guard ''Loom ye'shemaru''
 
 
===== Converting a verb to a noun: =====
 
Take the stem and add the 'ith' ending. <small>''(Some verbs like Sheras (to sing) do not follow this rule.)''</small>
 
 
'''Examples:'''
:* ''taynas'' (to give) becomes '''taynith''' (giving)
:* ''tikvooas'' (to hope) becomes '''tikvooith''' (hope, or hoping)
 
There is no distinction in elven between the gerund (-ing ending) form of a verb turned into a noun and its non gerund form. Thus, hope and hoping are both tikvooith, and you must know the context of the sentence to figure out which is which.
 
===== The verb "to be". =====
 
The only irregular verb in the Avlissian elven tongue is the verb "to be". In elven, the verb "to be" is implied in the present tense.
 
:* I '''am''' good. ''Eni toova.''
 
:* You '''are''' good. ''Ta toova.''
 
:* He '''is''' good. ''Loo toova.''
 
:* She '''is''' good. ''Lah toova.''
 
 
:* We '''are''' good. ''Nethnu toova.''
 
:* You '''are''' good. ''Tem toova.''
 
:* They '''are''' good. ''Loom toova.''

:* from you ''M'tem''
:* Its ''Voal (Boal)''


:* from them ''M'loom''


==== Showing possession: ====
:* Our (Ours) ''Meal (?)''


The elven language does not use the verb to have in the same way as most other languages. Instead of saying "I have", they are literally saying "There is to me".
:* Your (Yours) ''Mabel (Babel)''


'''You can make statements of possesion by adding the proper personal ending to the root "Yayn'", as below:'''
:* Theirs (f) ''Feabel (Beabel)''


:* I have (literally: There is to me): Yayn'ni
:* Theirs (m) ''Fenabel (Benabel)''


:* You have (There is to you): Yayn'ta
''' Examples '''
"My tree" would be "Mel mi"
"The tree is mine" would be "Mis feli bel"


:* He/It has (There is to him/it): Yayn'loe
''' Pronouns '''


:* She has (There is to her): Yayn'loah
:* English            '' Sylvan ''


:* We have (There is to us): Yayn'lenu
:* It                  '' Voa (Boa) ''


:* You have (pl) (There is to you): Yayn'tem
:* We (us)             '' Mea (?) ''


:* They have (There is to them): Yayn'loom
:* You                  '' Mab ''




'''To make these negative, add the word no, "Li" in front of them.'''
''' Questionary words (words you use in questions) '''


:* I don't have Li Yayn'ni
:* Who                '' Ge ''


:* You don't have Li Yayn'ta
:* What              '' Goo ''


:* He/it doesn't have Li Yayn'loe
:* Where              '' Gav ''


:* She doesn't have Li Yayn'loah
:* When              '' Gal ''


:* We don't have Li Yayn'lenu
:* Why                '' Gle ''


:* You don't have (pl) Li Yayn'tem
:* How                '' Gef ''


:* They don't have Li Yayn'loom
To ask a question without using a question-word, like "Do you dance?", you merely exchange the first letter of the verb into a "G". So the above question would be "Ma Gilu?", which is basically "You dance?"


==== Misc Notes ====
''' Verbs '''
:* The accent is always on the first sylable unless otherwise noted.  
Most of the verbs are regular and follow a set pattern. To change the verb to another time, merely add the correct vowel to the end of the word. It's pretty easy, just watch:
:* Adjectives come after the nouns: friendly stranger gartha havera
:* The preposition "from" is M', and it is used in much the same was as the word "the", Le'.

Plurality
''' Plurality '''
Sylvan has a bit more complex plurality rules than English. While English has singular and plural forms, Sylvan has singular, dual and plural. Which means that you have separate versions of "A tree", "Two trees" and "Many trees".

Line 1,263: Line 1,202:
Plural:A "-b" is added to the end of the word. "Trees" becomes "Mib". If the word ends on a "b", you add "-ib" instead. This is also the case if the last two letters are already consonants.

Numbers
''' Numbers '''
The fey numeric system is based not upon ten, like ours is, but upon five. This means that they count like this: One, two, three, four, five, eleven, twelwe, thirteen, fourteen, etc, so what they call 'eleven' equals what we call six.

The naming system for the numbers is very simple. The numbers one to five have names. The next five numbers have the same names but with a prefix. This prefix changes each five numbers, just like we go from 'twenty' to 'thirty' to 'forty' every ten numbers. Clumsily explained, but perhaps it gets easier to understand by looking at the list:

Titanian Sylvan

The fey of Avlis not created by O'Ma were created by a goddess named Titania. The version of Sylvan spoken by her people will usually have much more in common with its equivalent from other worlds, planes and game settings than other avlissian languages because she brought this with her. However over time this language has been modified and adapted to Avlis becoming influenced by Nanshilae and through the dynamics of language evolution. In this latter case the avlissian languages that Titanian Sylvan has influenced such as fairy common and Avlissian Sylvan.

Titanian Sylvan is primarily used as a court language. Conservatives in the Titanian community, particularly well placed unseelie fey, will grouse about the diminished status of their primary tongue but will understand, even if they refuse to admit, that this is simply the reality of their lives on avlis.

This language is not complete in grammar or a unified, consistent word list. It does provide a base for further development of this language and by extension other Titanian languages. Should this language ever be completed it would not be incorrect to use its modified vocabulary list to make changes to the fairy common languages vocabulary. Since fairy common and avlissian titanian are both based on Nanshilae grammar that aspect of those two languages should not change since the grammar of titanian sylvan will be unique to it, and the titanian languages it inspires.

Questionary words (words you use in questions)

  • Who Ge
  • What Goo
  • Where Gav
  • When Gal
  • Why Gle
  • How Gef

To ask a question without using a question-word, like "Do you dance?", you merely exchange the first letter of the verb into a "G". So the above question would be "Ma Gilu?", which is basically "You dance?"

Verbs Most of the verbs are regular and follow a set pattern. To change the verb to another time, merely add the correct vowel to the end of the word. It's pretty easy, just watch:

Examples:

  • To Be Fel
  • Is FelI
  • Was FelO
  • Has Been FelU
  • Will Be FelA
  • Being FelIR
  • To Have Miril
  • Has MirilI
  • Had MirilO
  • Have Had MirilU
  • Will Have MirilA
  • Having MirilIR

Plurality Sylvan has a bit more complex plurality rules than English. While English has singular and plural forms, Sylvan has singular, dual and plural. Which means that you have separate versions of "A tree", "Two trees" and "Many trees".

Singular: As written. "A tree" is merely "Mi", as listed in the dictionary.

Dual: A "-p" is added to the end of the word. "A petal" is "Sei", while "Two petals" becomes "Seip". If the word ends in "p", you add "-ip" instrad. This is also the case if the last two letters are already consonants.

Plural:A "-b" is added to the end of the word. "Trees" becomes "Mib". If the word ends on a "b", you add "-ib" instead. This is also the case if the last two letters are already consonants.

Numbers The fey numeric system is based not upon ten, like ours is, but upon five. This means that they count like this: One, two, three, four, five, eleven, twelwe, thirteen, fourteen, etc, so what they call 'eleven' equals what we call six.

The naming system for the numbers is very simple. The numbers one to five have names. The next five numbers have the same names but with a prefix. This prefix changes each five numbers, just like we go from 'twenty' to 'thirty' to 'forty' every ten numbers. Clumsily explained, but perhaps it gets easier to understand by looking at the list:

  • 1 Mimo
  • 2 Mimeb
  • 3 Sesa
  • 4 Sesob
  • 5 Seib
  • 6 NeMimo
  • 7 NeMimob
  • 8 NeSesa
  • 9 NeSesob
  • 10 NeSeib
  • 11 NaMimo
  • 16 NoMimo
  • 21 VeMimo
  • 26 VoMimo
  • 31 LeMimo
  • 36 LoMimo
  • 41 LuMimo
  • 46 LaMimo
