Thereskeya - Conlang Profile	Advanced
Language Name Thereskeya Language Author Ben Poplawski Year Began 2003 Site Thereskeya Broken Link Yes Site Language English Language Type fictional language Uniqueness Thereskeya was designed to be the tongue of a very proud nation led by a female monarch named the Candace. The language flows quite nicely, having plenty of continuants. It has a surprising lack of grammatical gender while retaining very complex verb conjugations. The dialect presented on the site is that of the capital city Bornas, which lies in a declension limbo between the full case system of the traditional rural population and the lack of case present in many city dialects. Here is an example phrase from the language: Thonath belo khelbit auriswelespit. "I soar over sunlit lands." Language Sources Latin initially inspired Thereskeya, with its verb conjugations closely modeled on those of Latin. Greek has now become a major influence, in orthography and in the archaic case system that preceded this dialect. Design Principles This was originally designed as a language for women (as the Theresian society is female-dominated), so in my chauvinism I made it very soft and flowing. (These are, of course, the same women who are feared and renowned for their skill in battle.) Grammatically, with nouns, I aimed for simplicity, but the complex verbs make up for that. Lately, the principle has been "put in anything that makes it look more like Greek". Interest Of Others Not many. A friend of mine, his website here, made up the name for the language (but it was originally called Thereskheyat).
