Intro.

Alright, so this is the official home of my conlang (constructed language) called Sennin.

(The direction translation of 'sennin' is made up of one root and one modifier: 'sen' meaning 'to speak' or 'speech', and '-nin' which means 'by way of/means of/manifestation of' or 'unified whole'. '-Nin' generally implies that the subject it is modifying is more than the sum of its parts. Also note the two consecutive n's, marking it as an irregular word.)

The intended speaking environment for this language is alien both environmentally and socially. As a result, idioms that speakers of western languages take for granted are absent and ignored in Sennin. For instance, the close relationship that both time and money have in Latin-based languages is not acknowledged to the speakers of my conlang. For them, the most important of concepts is the difference between water and land due to their being an aquatic race, and this mentality is seen in many aspects of Sennin.

And before I move on, a short note on pronunciation. Due to the fact that this language was intended to be verbalized through a medium far thicker than air, I realized that many sounds that we are used to voicing are impossible to be transmitted through water successfully. To compensate for that, I eliminated many letters like F, P, and J, and moved vowels to the forefront of word construction. But perhaps most importantly: speakers of Sennin do not differentiate between voiced and non-voiced sounds. For instance, 's' and 'z' would be considered the same letter. (Though to voice an 's' out of water would be seen as improper.)

Kay, so enough about all of this stuff. Let's get on with the actual language, shall we?
