Introduction

This is the Internet home for the conworld Idzon, its (fictitious) cultures, and the (fictitious) languages spoken there. Some of the pages will be simple notes about an aspect of the world, and some will be rather technical lingustic or historical essays. A whole world offers seemingly infinite possibilites, so there's always something new to write about, whenever I have the time.

Suvile

Suvile was the first language I made for Idzon. When I started, I didn't plan on creating a whole world, but I did. Suvile is the lingua franca of the Suzhon, largest country of the Western Continent.

Suvile Introduction describes the phonology (sounds) and orthography (writing) of Suvile.
The Swadesh List is a set of 207 basic words. It was intended to determine the closeness of languages, but it comes in handy for conlangs, too. Here's a list of the Swadesh words in natlangs.
The Babel Text is the standard for language comparison.
Endings has tables listing all the case, number, and person endings.

Tutèlya

Tutèlya is the major language of some of the eastern parts of Suzhon. It is distantly related to Suvile, but it is much more difficult to learn. Tutèlya was the second Idzoni language that I made.

Andan

Andan is a totally different langauge. Not related at all to Suvile or Tutèlya, Andan is spoken in the mountainous countries to the south of Suzhon. It has a style reminiscent of the Semitic languages of Earth.

A few links

The original idea came from Virtual Verduria, which is probably the most detailed world on the Internet (outside of our own). The best conlang resource is probably Langmaker, which has links to hundreds of languages and resources to make your own. And the Conlang mailing list is good for just about anything.

The interlinears on this site were made with my ILF script.
