Aurielleno (pronounced [aurieleno]), more specifically Nujemen Aurielleno, serves as the official language of the Republic of Aurielle (Respublia di Aurielle, pronounced [respublia di auriele]), Kingdom of Vrenda, Federal Republic of Burdskan, Unu Citedum, and several other groups throughout the Backrooms. Aurielleno is rooted in several Frontroom languages, though most dominantly from the Romance languages, English, and Latin, as shown through its various grammatical facets as well as the use of a Latin alphabet. Due to Aurielle's rampant expansion, Aurielleno and its deviations have risen to become among the most prominent tongues within the Backrooms.
The earliest believed form of Aurielleno, Retru Latin, formed approximately in 42 AD, from which it subsequently transformed into various other forms, including Seradus Retru Latin, Retin-Romance, and Basio Romance, among others, ending with Adelo Aurie before the rise of Creole Aurielleno and then Aurielleno. By the time of Persa Uisa, Creseo Universum Aurielleno, or simply "Creole Aurielleno," was the standard language, formed when large numbers of different non-Adelo Aurie-speaking peoples subsumed and were assimilated, creating a need for a standard language for communication and a language that was easier to learn. Aurielleno, sometimes referred to Nujemen Aurielleno, formed during Leo Minori following a drastic semantic drift, lexical turnover, and phonological development within Creole Aurielleno.
There are various deviations of Aurielleno, such as Nujemen Aurielleno, Hairá Aurielleno, and Sēifei Aurielleno, which were all formed as a direct result of Aurielleno influence. All these together form the Aurin Language Pseudo-family; Hairá Aurielleno, while bearing most similarities with Arabic and African languages, have several phonological and grammatical similarities with Nujemen Aurielleno and its other deviations and are to some extent mutually intelligible, same with Sēifei Aurielleno, and so on with the other deviations not included.
The Aurin Pseudo-family has been compared to the varieties of Chinese. Nujemen Aurielleno is typically the deviation of Aurielleno that is referred to when '"Aurielleno" is mentioned, much how Mandarin Chinese dominates over the word Chinese when referring to the language.
Phonology[]
Nujemen Aurielleno phonology is relatively easy to understand, as all of its vowels and consonants can be seen in European languages.
| Front | Central | Back | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open | i | o | |
| Mid | e | u | |
| Closed | a |
| Labial | Alveolar | Palatal | Velar | Glottal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m | n | |||
| Stop | p, b | t, d | k, g | ||
| Fricative | f, v | s | h | ||
| Approximant | w | l | j | ||
| Trill | r |
In Aurielleno, the [e] and [i] can be softened to [ɛ] and [e] if they are placed in word-final position and preceded by the consonant [s].
Syllabic Construction
Aurielleno constructs its syllables as (C)(C)(C)V(C)(C).
Parenthesis means that they are optional, with C representing the consonants and V representing the vowels. Rules in Aurielleno syllabic construction are as follows:
- [h] must always be accompanied by a vowel or y.
- [h] cannot be in the coda (the end of a syllable)
- Dipthongs exist, however separation as following is possible:
- Putting a [j] before the second vowel, an example would be:
- paeso is pronounced as [pa.je.so]
- Putting a [j] before the second vowel, an example would be:
The syllabic construction may be broken for lone words from latin or other languages.
Orthography[]
- When ⟨c⟩ is next to ⟨i⟩ or ⟨e⟩, it is pronounced [s]
- An exception to this rule occurs if there is already an [s], for example Scepia, which is pronounced as [ske.pia]. Interestingly, Aurielleno pronounce's Nolic (the basic monetary unit of Aurielle) with this same trait, even in its singular form, as [no.lik].
- When ⟨qu⟩ is next to consonant, it is pronounced [k]
- If there is no accompanying consonant, it may be pronounced as [kw]. Such as the word [Qores].
- [j] can be written as ⟨i⟩ when it is near a consonant
- [e.ja] and [e.jo] can be written as ⟨ea⟩ and ⟨eo⟩
Grammar[]
Aurielleno follows the SVO (subject-verb-Object) word order; it places prepositions before nouns, demonstratives before nouns to indicate proximity, numerals before nouns, and possessives before nouns. In Aurielleno, adjectives are usually after nouns, but for emphasis, they can be placed before. In sentences with multiple adjectives, the more important ones are placed before nouns; nouns can be placed both before and after relative causes; and verbs are placed before adverbs.
Aurielleno can also place adjectives before nouns to emphasize. However, adverbs modifying adjectives are always placed before the adjective.
| VERB CONJUGATIONS | ||
| TENSE | SUFFIX | |
| FIRST PERSON | PRESENT | -‘o’ |
| PAST | -‘u’ | |
| FUTURE | -‘a’ | |
| SECOND PERSON | PRESENT | -‘ot’ |
| PAST | -‘ut’ | |
| FUTURE | -‘at’ | |
| THIRD PERSON | PRESENT | -‘(v)ero’ |
| PAST | -‘(v)erum’ | |
| FUTURE | -‘(v)eram’ | |
| REFLEXIVE (Added after the tense) | -‘um(a)’ | |
Reflexive Verbs are conjugated as -'um'. For example: "Je vistum" (translated to "I see myself.")
If a verb already ends with '-um', then the [a] is introduced, and if a verb ends with a consonant then the 'v-' is removed, so its 'Cosmiseram' instead of 'Cosmisveram'.
To pluralize verb conjugations, you just add an -'s' at the end of the conjugation.
All suffixes that start with a vowel have dominancy over the word they are inflicting on, replacing the word's original vowel. For example:
- Scire + at = Scirat ← This is correct.
- Scire + at = Scireat ← This is incorrect.
There are exceptions, such as words that have been inflicted by the simplification, this however, is not the case if they are the same vowel.
- Libravou + at → Libravoat
Aurielleno is a null-subject language, meaning that they depend on the verb conjugation for pronouns rather than using the pronouns themselves. For example:
- Cavasterum sobatus dem quovares
- (They) talked about politics
Note that interrogative sentences always require a pronoun to indicate. Therefore, "Were they talking about politics?" is "Cavastum isun sobatus dem quovares?"
- Nouns turned into modifiers still get inflicted by the noun class system.

| FEMININE (PLU.) | Tubis /tu.bis/ | ||
Proximal and Distal exist in English as ‘this/these’ and ‘that/those’ respectively; however, English does not have an equivalent to Medial and only exists in some languages like Latin, Spanish, Serbo-Croatian, Portuguese, etc. Medial means the noun is near the destination but far from the speaker.
Similarly to Spanish, in Aurielleno, demonstrative pronouns follow a simpler system than nominative/oblique distinctions found in some languages. Instead of separate nominative and oblique forms, Aurielleno demonstratives agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) with the nouns they replace or modify.
Noun Cases[]
Aurielleno is considered a nominative-accusative language, which means that it primarily uses word order and prepositions rather than inflection to indicate the role of words in a sentence. Thus, it doesn't really have noun cases.
Valency[]
| VALENCE OPERATIONS/GRAMMATICAL VOICES | ||
| ACTIVE | Active voice is when the subject is the agent (doer of an action) of a transitive verb (a verb that requires an object.) For example: The dog saw the cat | Aurielleno does not mark its active voice. |
| PASSIVE | Passive voice is when the subject is the patient (receiver of an action) of a transitive verb. For example: The dog was seen by the cat. | ‘ag’ + VERB |
| CAUSATIVE | Causative voice is when the agent causes the patient to do something. For example: I cause the dog to eat. or: I feed the dog. | ‘ab’ + VERB |
Articles[]
Aurielleno only has two articles: Definite (In English: the) and Indefinite (In English: a or an). These articles are also inflicted by the noun class. Articles are placed before the noun.
| ARTICLES | ||
| MALE | FEMALE | |
| DEFINITE | Dem
/dem/ |
Dema
/de.ma/ |
| INDEFINITE | Su
/su/ | |
Negation[]
Aurielleno’s negation (in English, ‘not’) is fairly simple. Aurielleno places the word ‘nevi’ /ne.vi/ before a noun, modifier, or verb. For example:
ㅤI did not kill him.
ㅤJe nevi mate vec.
ㅤYou are definetly not a sheep.
ㅤJu weot devictes nevi su scepia.
ㅤI am not aware.
ㅤJe nevi awaro.
Comparison[]
| ARTICLES | ||
| MASCULINE | FEMENINE | |
| COMPARATIVE | -‘isio’ | -‘icasi’ |
| SUPERLATIVE | -‘isior’ | -‘icosia’ |
If the word ends with a vowel, the same outcome occurs as in suffixes on noun conjugations. In the case where the suffix is introduced and creates a diphthong, a [j] is added to separate the two.
Grammatical Gender[]
In Aurielleno, grammatical gender is dictated by Masculine and Femenine.
| GENDER | ||
| Masculine | Feminine | |
| Vowels | o, e, u | a, i |
If a word ends in a consonant the last vowel used will determine the gender.
- Pacen ← Masculine
- Celvam ← Feminine
Pluralization[]
Aurielleno pluralization/plurality is quite simple as it is the same as English; it is done by adding the suffix "-s" or "-es" in words that end with "ch", "s", "sh", "x", and "z".
For example: Batalius → Bataliuses (Pronounced: ba.ta.li.jus.es) and Armo → Armos (Pronounced: Ar.mos)
