THE LAST CHAPTER (EPILOGUE) OF SHARDS OF HISTORY IS THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER

This is the Lunarian Language Codex!

I had once said I didn't want anyone to use this, but I have completely changed my mind! If you want to use any or all of this for your story, GO FOR IT!

I had a blast making this up; below is the introduction to how the language works, and then there is a list of all words, certain phrases, and Lunarian city names used in Shards of History.

In general, the Lunarian language is sharp, succinct and the words, shortened, to what we're used to speaking. I've taken the idea of many earth-based languages when constructing this, and have made it easier to understand by using the same characters and sounds we do, for the most part. Keeping the letters and sounds familiar is also easier when writing it into a story, and easier, I hope, to read it as well.

One thing to keep in mind are that the emphasis on the words is on the syllables. This idea was gleaned by the apparent 'naming' system the Lunarians we see have. (IE: FuSoYa, KluYa,)

Therefore, all the sharp sounds are on each syllable unless denoted by a – or a '. In the case of a -, it's a break from the single word. (IE: Phen'Doe-Mar. Phen'Doe is one word, the Mar is added with a bit of a pause.) In the case of a ', that is a slight pause when speaking, as if it were another syllable. (IE: Phen'Doe-Mar. Phen (one) Doe (Second))

Another characteristic of the language is that they 'render' their words in "Positive" and "Negative."

Since they are a telepathic species, it makes sense that they would be overly interesting in conveying emotions and messages through their speech as well as their telepathy. Thus, they 'render' their words to set a certain tone to the reader.

Example: The words yes and no are actually the same word, "Yensa and YenSa" Rendered in the 'negative', to convey a negative, unsavory theme, is without any emphasis on the syllables. It's a less sharp sound, but it's also spoken quicker and with less tone.

If written in the 'positive', the emphasis is there; "YenSa" to convey passion and zeal when speaking.

Certain times, Lunarian words or names will be seen in both positive and negative to set the tone of an entire conversation or phrase.

Also, it's possible for names to rendered in the negative, such as Zemus. Since he is outcast and 'fallen from grace' Lunarians say his name without emphasis to show this in speech and characters. His name, formerly, would have been "ZeMus" now it's rendered and spoken "Zemus".

The written word of Lunarians is, in my head, similar to our own, making the planet's even more compatible. However, since we can't actually see any of it, it's not nearly as important.

The language is far from complete, and I've taken shortcuts with grammar and proper 'rules' in certain places, but there is enough compiled here where people may be able to use some of the words, and use common phrases. I even made a swear word or two!

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, is that these are not direct translations to English. More often than not, the word or phrase is to convey a feeling and a tone, so the Lunarian phrase for 'thank-you' is "Jhet'Leya" but that is not the actual word for thank or the word for you. It is, at its core, an expression of gratitude. In the same way, "Yensa" or "YenSa" is literally an 'answer' to any question. The closest translation we have offer is to yes or no.

Spells:

The modern words for certain elements and spells came from mistranslation of Lunarian words. When the Lunarians first came to the planet, ancient peoples used some of their words and adapted them. Because of the altered translation and delusion of words from their cores, the modern magical spells based off of Lunarian magic differ slightly in type and power. In most cases, the original Lunarian is more potent.

More advanced spells such as Firaga are a combination of the word for 'fire' and the spoken word of 'two, double' or 'three, triple'. Example: Firaga. Fie'Er + Aga = Triple fire.

Below is a list of the Lunarian words and their modern translations:

Fie'Er – Fire

Wat'Tor – Water

Thun'Dor – Thunder

Aer – Air

Bliz'Ard – Blizzard

Ry'is – Rise (Literally translate to 'reset' since your resetting your vitals)

K'year – Cure
