Language Name Eretas Language Author Keith Gaughan Year Began 2001 Site Eretas [PDF] Broken Link No Site Language English Language Type fictional language Uniqueness It was spoken in a place similar to the Mediterranean between 500 BC and 500 AD. It is the only conlang I know of that is fluid-S, nominative-absolutive. Language Sources Finnish, Georgian, Japanese. Quotation Sjesú mjuhlinen eretassan: imarrelló. Explanation Sjesú = 'disputer'/'battler', from the verb 'sjesuin', meaning 'fight(ing)'. Mjuhlin-en = 'of-dying', the genitive form of the verb 'mjuhlin', meaning 'die'. Eretas-(s)an = of-language, genitive form of the noun 'eretas'. Imar(r)-elló = wordmaker, a compound of 'imar' (word) and 'elló', the agent form of 'ellen' (do/make). The similarity in the genitive forms of 'eretas' and 'mjuhlin' come from the fact that they're in the same declension. Translation The literal translation is '(Be a) disputer of-death of-language: (be a) wordmaker/conlanger'. A more accurate translation is 'prevent language death, create a language'.
