Dinitian is a language invented by Mark Kerby. It is a cross between English, English slang, Japanese, and other stuff that was made up to fill the gaps. The only thing that this language still lacks is a well-rounded vocaublary, which will come over time. the word Dinitian literally means "The unspoken language" Dini means secret, or not well known, and tian means language. There is also another word for language, kedupi, which is more commonly used.

 

The idea of this language is fairly simple. It has twenty basic characters that are used the most common, similar to Japanese with it's Hiragana and Katakana. Each one of these symbols have two different faces. These characters, called the biduwa, serve as both the first and the last character of a word. It's really simple to tell which one goes at the begining of a word, and one that goes to the end of a word. They just simply flip, pointing in the direct opposite direction.

 

Then, there are seven vowels in which that the language uses. They are Ay, ah, e, i, o, u, and ya. The biduwa's are automatically known to make the vowel of "i". For example, "ti, chi, wi, mi, fi..." and so on. When you add one of the attaching vowels under the biduwa, it changes the vowel sound to that, unless you put a : type symbol in front of the biduwa, which gives it both the i vowel and the attaching vowel.

 

Another really important thing about this language that is important to learn are the donaypa symbols. These are filler symbols in which that supply different sounds to creat complex words. Without dopayna symbols, words could only be as complex as two syllables. There are 147 Dopayna's. Many of the Dopaynian characters are based off of the Japanese hiragana and katakana characters. Some, however, were originally invented.

 

Dear Readers,
My name is Mark Kerby. I have been independently been studying Japanese for a little over a year now. I started thinking, you know, what if I took my relative knowledge of the Japanese language and my knowledge of the English language and English slang and create a new language of my own. This is a very new language, which means that it has a long way to go before it is one that can be considered reliable. It will get there one day, though. I am very confident in that.

 

I am very flattered that you are interested, or curious about the language that I have and am creating. Creating a language isn't just a one move type thing. It take devotion to be able to creat a real and full language. Before, I have tried to make different languages. This was not my first attempt at making a language. Most of them were created by symbols and what not. I also use romaji (A japanese term for the Roman Letters), but if I were to ever write something, like a story or something, I would write it in the language that I intended.

 

Dinitian is relatively simple and is very learnable. There are some things that are complicated simply because they are from the Japanese language. The writing system that I invented is, however, quite complicated. There are several key rules that you have to learn before you can start writing Dinitian. The phonetic sound ba has more than one way to write it, similar to Japanese. The principle idea is the same, but the writing system is nothing like Japanese. It is almost closer to English. It is what you could call a tie between the two languages, though many of the symbols used in Dinitian I created.

 

I sure hope you go forth and learn this language. I think it is pretty cool, but maybe that's because I invented it. If you want to be a linguist in the future, or are interested in the study of languages, then you sould learn Dinitian. It is relatively simple and it broadens your view on the idea of intellectual communication. If you have any trouble in learning Dinitian or you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to email me at txkusa22@aim.com. Thanks

Sincerely,
Mark Kerby

 

In English, the sentence structure is Subject-Verb-Object. In Japanese, it is Subject-Object-Verb. In Dinitian, it is different from both of them. It is Verb-Subject-Object. The verb comes first in the sentence. For example, in the simple sentence, "I saw my dog.", in Dinitian, it would be in the order, "saw i my dog."

Which in Dinitian Tongue, it would be, "mima kishiba mi va mitie inu." Mima means see. kishiba is one of the thirteen verb-words that are used in Dinitian. This rule will be simple for English speakers to pick up on, but may not be so simple for non-english speakers. mi means I. va is similar to the Japanese Wa. It serves the same purpose. It divides the subject and the object. inu in both Dinitian and Japanese means dog.

 

The Thirteen verb-words, also called the turika-goma, seem complicated, but are simple once you get used to them. The thirteen verb-words are chyani, dyako, jyame, byado, hyazi, tyava, myake, ryaqua, pyaji, kyaba, nyado, quyabi, and fyashzo. Each one of these words are always placed right after a verb. They are what make it a verb. without it, it would not complete the sentence. "mima mi va mitie inu" (Without the verb-word, kyabi or kishibi(past tense)) This sentence would translate, "The seeing my dog", which doesn't make sense.

 

The turika-goma's also serve to tell the condition of the verb as well. Ya is the predicate. It is the basic form. Ay is the present. O is the negative form of the verb. It is like saying that you have not done this. tabe jome means I have not eaten/am not eating. Ta is indicating the speaker/listener wants to do this. Shi is the past tense of the verb. Way is simply putting the word "let's" infront of the verb. Example: tabe jwayme means let's eat. I, sounding like E from the word eat, or leave, is the future tense of the verb. tabe jime means I will eat. Ino means only. hashi pinoji means I only ran. Iko means "will not". For example, shin-jimas chikoni va dimav means I will not/cannot trust you, while shin-jimas choni va dimav means I have not trusted you, I am not trusting you right now.

 

Later on, we will get into more depth about verbs and other things. Right now, I am just giving you an over-view of this language. It's vocabulary is growing everyday, and the current vocabulary list will be posted when it can be.
