pronunciation/writing rules
'oux' (are/is) is only used for PRONOUNS (sa, su, etc)
X is silent when it's the final consonant.
X if not final consonant, is pronounced as 'ks'. X cannot be the first consonant in a word.
X can be pronounced/written as the first consonant in a word, IF "é" is behind it.
"xa" - INCORRECT.
"éxa" - CORRECT
"xsur" - INCORRECT
"éxsur" - CORRECT
"rqad" - INCORRECT
"érqad" - CORRECT (é will not be pronounced)
eau = [ø]
ua = [a]
üa = [wa]
é = not pronounced if it's the final vowel in a word.
xé = X is pronounced due to the é.
ion = [jõ] / [iõ]
qua = [ka]
qüa = [kwa]
qü = [ku]
xs = [ʃ]
j = [ʒ]
q = [χ]
rq = [ʁ]
ou = [o]
cardinal numbers: just add -van or -avan (raz = razavan, dza = dzavan) 'first', 'second'
attention!
qua/e/i/o = [k], if behind a vowel
"arsque qüles" = [arskɛ kulɛs]
"arsque aurules" = [arsk aʊɾulɛs]
x = will not change sounds unless "é" is infront of it
"laoux qüles" = [laʊ kulɛs]
"laoux aurules" = [laʊ aʊɾulɛs]
"branxé" = [bɾanks] / [bɾãks] = "white"
"branx" = [bɾan] / [bɾã] = "bra"
ARTICLES & GRAMMAR
- "u" = article 'a', used before words that start with a consonant
- "un" = article 'an', used before words that start with a vowel
- "de" = article 'the' for neutral or masculine words (before consonants)
- "den" = article 'the' for neutral or masculine words (before vowels)
- "da" = article 'the' but for feminine words (used before consonants)
- "dan" = article 'the' but for feminine words (used before vowels)
- "dux" = article used for things that are imaginary, don't exist, don't have proof of existing, are not present or you invented them and want to add emphasis. "A multiverse" = "Dux multimanas", or, "The equation is mine!" = "Dux eqüasion sanur!"
- dux can be used before vowels & consonants.
- Note: Using 'dux' is not mandatory, it's just a way of adding emphasis to something you consider you have discovered or invented &/or saying the said thing does not exist, is imaginary or is a theory. You can still use "De, Den, Da, Dan" for everything else.
Anzeles Articles & Gender Guide
Anzeles nouns have gender categories that determine which article to use. There are feminine and masculine/neutral nouns. Some words follow predictable patterns based on their endings, but exceptions exist, so intuition is also useful.
- u = “a” → before consonant-starting nouns “an” → u sram = a hand
- un = “an” → before vowel-starting nouns “an” → un ouvidus = an ear
- de = “the” → masculine/neutral nouns starting with a consonant → de rosul = the sky
- den = “the” → masculine/neutral nouns starting with a vowel → den ouvidus = the ear
- da = “the” → feminine nouns starting with a consonant → da vizola = the eye
- dan = “the” → feminine nouns starting with a vowel → dan arion = the star
- dux = “the” for imaginary, hypothetical, or invented things → dux multimanas = the (imaginary) multiverse
Gender Hints
While some nouns must be memorized, many endings give clues:
Masculine/Neutral (use de / den):
- Ends in -ul, -us, -os, -un or consonant clusters
- Examples: rosul (sky), sramug (foot), ouvidus (ear)
Feminine (use da / dan):
Ends in -a, -ion, -e (in some cases)
Examples: vizola (eye), arion (star), roza (beauty/beautiful)
Tip: If unsure, check the noun’s ending and context. Many new words follow these patterns to make article selection easier.
Pronouns in Anzeles
Anzeles pronouns follow a consistent, Romance-like pattern but feature unique plural and gender distinctions.
Each personal pronoun can have neutral, masculine, and feminine forms, with plural forms marked by the suffix -n.
Personal Pronouns
- 1st (I / we) → Sa = I →San = we (Neutral) → Sanel = we (masc.) → Sanla = we (fem.)
- 2nd (you) → Su = you → Sún = you all (neutral) → Sunel = you all (masc.) → Sunla = you all (fem.)
- 3rd (he / she / they) → El = he /-/ La = she /-/ Eno = they (singular, neutral) → En = they (neutral) → Enel = they (masc.) → Enla = they (fem.)
Accent and Plural Rule
Words ending in -un are typically plural in Anzeles.
To distinguish words that end with -un but are not plural, an acute accent (´) is placed on the “u”:
- -ún = not plural (a root ending in “un”)
- -un = plural suffix
Example:
- Sún = “you all” (not a plural noun, so it takes the accent)
- Sunel = “you all (masculine)” → accent not needed because the plural marker is followed by another element.
