# Mirabelian
|
|
|
|
Mirabelian is a constructed language for my fictional world, specifically the island of Mirabel, and this is a (romanized) translator made for it.
|
|
|
|
## Language
|
|
|
|
It uses a reduced runic alphabet consisting of 16 distinct letters: ᛟ (a), ᚦ (e), ᛏ (i), ᚢ (u), ᛡ (o), ᛒ (k), ᛇ (s), ᚾ (h), ᛅ (l), ᛗ (m), ᚻ (n), ᚱ (r), ᛊ (s), ᛏ (t), and ᛉ (w). The script can be written either horizontally or vertically, with a romanized form available.
|
|
|
|
Mirabelian follows a phonemic vowel system and places importance on consonant length similar to Japanese. It features a reduced consonant inventory, making it distinct yet easy to learn. Words typically follow VCV, CV, or CVVC structures, maintaining a balance between simplicity and flexibility.
|
|
|
|
The language avoids gender distinctions and lacks grammatical articles. Sentence structure follows either Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) or Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) orders, allowing for some syntactical flexibility. Punctuation includes commas for separating sentence elements, an ellipsis (… or ‥) for pauses or unfinished thoughts, and a full stop (。) to end of runic sentences.
