I've based this off my own words (finally) and Swedish and Dutch sounds (yes, I changed the languages). I'm still working on how this will work, so bear with me. Some words may sound very similar to English words, or they may sound completely different. I'll see how it goes.
Also, if you can think of a better name for the language, please let me know. (Also, the language name is pronounced "Lay-gar-ian".)
There's a few suffixes (and other things) that don't work right (and other notes and stuff), so here's what they should be and/or be used for:
D= dun (goes at the end of a word that ends with e to make it past tense)
s= ën (when next to a consonant, i.e. "bring(s)" to "bring(ën)")/n (when next to a vowel, i.e. "become(s)" to "berna(n)")
When using two or more suffixes together (i.e. changing "comfort" to "comfortingly"), you would put the first suffix next to the word, divided by a space ("ing" next to "comfort", making it "comfort ing"), and then add a second space before typing the second suffix ("ly")
So "comfortingly" would then look like this: "comfort ing ly". Do so with every suffix you add, and then before you copy and paste it (if that's what you're using it for), remove the spaces from the box on the right. That will complete the word.
There's also a few other ways to say words. If you're asking someone for something, you would say "please" like "may I please have that?", which would be "kin Ej år dün snöll her at?". The "please" in this context is "år dün snöll".
But if you were to say "please" as in "I can do what I please!", then it would be "Ej kin deü vad Ej vil!" The "please" in this context is instead "vil", as in "want".
The same goes for "may": it's written as "kin", as in "can". That's the only way it is written in Leygarian unless it's by itself; in that case, it would be "mai".
Hard letters (K, G, D, etc.) will sound nasally (If you need to, please look up Google Translate and put in Dutch, so you'll better understand the sounds and pronunciation, because that's what I based those sounds on).
Rs in this language sound like the German or Dutch R (sort of like the way you'd hear it in a French accent), or it will be trilled, depending on the word and how you pronounce it.
The words in the phrases are going to be different than when you use other words and suffixes with the words. The reason being that the phrases change some of the words themselves, and the words may/will be different when used with other words. Just keep that it mind.
Here are all the sounds that are used in this language (they might not be 100% accurate, because some of them are unfamiliar to me):
å= Ah sound
é= Eh sound
ë= Ey sound
ó= Ah sound
ö= Aw sound
ü= Ooh sound
ś= Sh sound
There may be more sounds than what have been listed. If so, I'll add them.
Have fun, and let me know of any problems you run into with this translator! (ALSO: If you're going to use this for any public purpose (sharing with friends, family, etc.), please credit me! My name is Creepergirl7794, or Brielle-Rose)
