A list of the phrases so far;
-Hal, pronounced like Hall. It combines Latin and Germanic greetings (Hello, Hola, Hallo) with the English word Hail, in the greeting sense, stressing the majesty of the monarchy. -Vi, a prefix used to reverse the meaning of words. Vihal for example meaning goodbye, is a combination of Vi and Hal, meaning Hello. -Vihal, meaning goodbye. A combination of the prefix,Vi, meaning reversed, (Similiar to the use of "ex" and "de" in the English Language) and the phrase, Hal, meaning Hello. -Rengark, meaning ruler, king, or monarch. -Mi, Meaning me. Derived from a combination of the English words, "Me" and "I". It is also the Spanish word for my, and should be pronounced "mee". -Civitas, meaning the state, a latin word -Dano, meaning "to desire" or "to want."Past Form: Danod. Used with pronoun: Mi Dano = I want; Mi Danod = I wanted. Never changes with who is being spoke of. -Vimi, meaning you, taken from "Mi", meaning Me, and Vi meaning opposite, thus the opposite of Mi. Pronounced "Veemee". -Dank, meaning thank. A combined adaptation of the German and English phrases. -Dank Vimi, a phrase meaning thank you. Taken from the Jamzinian words of thank and you. -Mobil, meaning vehicle. Pronounced "Mo-beel" -Despore - Sport or game. -"Tev, meaning to have, pronounced "Tave" -Vex, meaning flag, taken from the latin phrase "vexillum", meaning flag or banner. -Personocracy: Government -Turbak, meaning traitor. -Herriaga. Meaning Marriage. [Again taken from a mix of Greek and English. Hera was Greek Goddess of Marriage] -Terran meaning the ground, earth. -Uran. [The Sky] -Sivit. Meaning citizen. (I think for all pronounciations sounding like "s" should begin as s, and none as c, as some do in the English language.) -Hy. A pre-fix meaning of combination. For example, Hysivit would mean a citizen of multi-nationalitity. -Uo, meaning with. -Ador, meaning to love or like very much. -Hymi, a combination of the prefix of 'hy' and the word 'mi', meaning 'we'. -vew. - To see. Taken from "View"
I wish to propose a few ammendments in order to keep the phrases as similiar as possible in terms of composition;
Firstly, I'd like to propose we recognise a new prefix, Ty, meaning of plenty, but of the same thing. Basically an alternative to the English language's system of using an 's' to signify more than one.
I'd like to take Elizabeth's suggestion in wiping out unessesary 'c's that sound like 's's. I'd also like to ensure the majority of words are inkeeping with the hard sounding finish to words.
-Civitas (Meaning the state) to Tysivit. Ty means of plenty, Sivit means citizen.
-Personocracy to Personocrat.
-Herriaga to Herriag.

Perhaps we should replace all hard c's with k, and all soft ones with s?

That certainly seems reasonable to me, the only change in the words drafted so far would be that of Personocrat, to Personokrat.

c is never needed in the english language except in ch, which should be a letter of it's own...
should "ch", "th" and "sh" count as letters of their own? as they are largely unlike their component letters?

That's an interesting point, to be honest though I really don't want to be creating new 'letters', especially two character ones.We have gotten rid of the letter c, so the 'ch' expression just wont be used. The 'th' and 'sh' can consist of the two individual characters, just as is the case in the English language.
