It's primary roots are drawn in roughly equal parts from from Greek, Latin, Sindarin and Quenya. It is also laced with numerous words from various other earth languages. There is a perfectly logical reason for this; though for now that reason will remain undisclosed. I will venture a hint though that will reveal it for some folks:
Here's the hint: Agenothree
So Hallanacht has these features:
- Word order is SVO (Subject, Verb Object) just like english
- Verbs are not conjugated for subject or number only for tense.
- No irregular verbs. (OK, almost none... there is only one so far.)
- No definite articles
- No indefinite articles
- There are no articles!
- Pronouns though profuse, are completely standard.
- No jaw breaking phonemes. the phonetic model is taken from unaccented (west coast) American English. The most complicated phoneme is the CH found in Hebrew words like Chanukah and chutzpah .
- Imperative, paternal imperative and divine imperative verb tenses.
- has an iterative verb root!
- Is pleasant to hear and speak. Smooth and fluid, it is almost susurrous. No gravel gargling requirements like German or Gaelic or Klingon.
- Comes with a beautiful alphabet called Halla - which for now remains unpublished. (creating brand new fonts - by the way - is freaking hard!)
