While back I posted a bit of information on a Conlang I've been working ont. The conlang, is called Et'yncal, which means pretty much "our word". The language is for a sort of Fairie/Mythological Creature people that came to Earth millenia ago and assumed the forms of creatures like Djinn, Sphinx and Dragon to survive.

Right now they are on the edge of extinction and exist in isolated communities and are doing their best to keep their heritage alive.

So here are some lines in the language that now has a vocab of 114 words...

Catqan hys tev qi'var - He is at the water

Mou tev utta qi'var - He is beneath you

Valqiin el tev qy - I am of the Folk

Qi'var al'tresc'el mou zetu qy - I like you despite/in spite of him.

So what does anyone think of it?

It's pretty cool, though I can't say I'm dropping Na'vi for it anytime soon or course.  :)

Guesses at some words:

qi'var - he
qy- I
tev - am/is
Valqiin - the folk
Catqan - water
mou - you
zetu - like
al'tresc'el - despite
utta - beneath
hys - at
el - of

Am I anywhere close?

Assuming Nìwotxkrr is correct I'd also go so far as to say that qi is a root for person or similar given its appearance in some form or another in qi'var, qy and Valqun, possibly also in Catqan.

I did give you guys pretty much some format.

Nix got some of it right.

Mou nal qi besjevnu qy!

Serz ilanpeja nal qy.

And if you guys have noticed it uses a fairly interesting, but simple syntax.

No determiners, also adjective proceeds after the modified noun.

And yes it is OVS.
