Yuril Language

The Concidelemence (Yuril Alphabet)
The Yuril writing system was a writing system used by the Ancient Yurilk People, Yurilik being the term used to define someone or something that belongs or is heavily tied into the Yurilendrith'vor religion. The Yurilic Writing System uses an alphabetic script, a method of representing the sounds or words of a language by using written or printed symbols called alphabets. In the Yuril Writing System there are exactly fourteen characters used within the Yuril Alphabet. These 14 characters are drawn out in a way where they act as symbols or logos, representing elemental ideas or concepts. These elemental alphabets are known as “Concidelemence", “Conc" meaning Concept, “Ide" meaning Idea, and “Elemence" meaning Element. Each sound or pronunciation of each Concidelemence would correspond to the elemental symbol of that specific Concidelemence. For example, The lightning Concidelemence would have a lightning symbol, so the sound of the lightning Concidelemence would be “ZZZZ”, which is the sound of lightning.

Commas:
In The Yuril Language, commas are often used in the middle of words. This is due to no one specific reason, but instead a multitude of complex, varing, differentiating jurisdictions and language rulings. Commas are used to separate the first name from the last name and any name from its pronouns. Nouns are also separated from adjectives, their current status, a time, their current age and their quantity by using commas. Similarly, commas seperate two actions. Commas are used to form compounds of two nouns, two adjectives or any number of verbs and adverbs. They fulfill the semantic purpose of indicating the end of a sentence as well as the phonologi purpose of indicating pauses and the stress of syllables. Lastly, commas have the orthographical application of spacing words apart.

Grammatical/Text Structure:
Apart from the use of commas, the Yuril language also has a unique grammatical structure. It follows a Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) word order, which means that the Verb of a sentence comes first, followed by the Subject and then the Object. For example, "Eat I Apple" would translate to "I eat an apple" in Travelers Tounge. Yuril is written in vertical colems, with Yuril text being ordered in in columns going from bottom to top and ordered from right to left, with each new column starting to the left of the preceding one. In the Yuril Language, words are written vertically in a column, with each letter stacked on top of the previous one to form a word. In a sentence, each word starts a new column to the left of the previous word.

Tone:
Tone is an essential component of language, and in the Yuril language, it plays a critical role in conveying meaning. The way a word is spoken can change its meaning entirely, and the Yuril people understand this concept well. The Yuril language is a tonal language, which means that the pitch, contour, and stress of a word can determine its meaning. There are four main tones in Yuril: high, mid, low, and chilling. Each tone can alter the meaning of a word or phrase, and the Yuril people use this to their advantage in communication.

High Tone:
The high tone is often used to convey a sense of urgency or importance. When a word is spoken with a high tone, it is meant to grab the listener's attention and convey a sense of immediacy. For example, the word for "danger" in Yuril is "Athal," but when spoken with a high tone, it can mean "imminent danger" or "urgent warning."

Mid Tone:
The mid-tone is the most common tone used in Yuril and is often used for neutral or straightforward communication. When spoken in a mid-tone, words are simply stated, without any additional emphasis or interpretation. For example, the word for "tree" in Yuril is "Hyn," and when spoken in a mid-tone, it simply means "tree."

Low Tone:
The low tone in Yuril is often used to convey a sense of confusion, uncertainty, or mystery. When a word is spoken with a low tone, it can indicate that the speaker is unsure or lacks clarity about the meaning of the word or phrase. For example, the word for "apple" in Yuril is "Kyl," but when spoken with a low tone, it can imply that the speaker is unsure about the type of apple being referred to or its origin. Furthermore, the low tone can also be used to convey a sense of mystery or intrigue. When a word is spoken with a low tone in Yuril, it can suggest that there is something hidden or unknown about the subject being discussed. For example, the word for "fruit" in Yuril is "Kyldorh," but when spoken with a low tone, it can imply that there is something secretive or taboo about the fruit in question. The use of the low tone in Yuril can also create a sense of anticipation or suspense. When a word is spoken with a low tone, it can suggest that there is something significant or important that is yet to be revealed. For example, the word for "mystery" in Yuril is "Dyhn," and when spoken with a low tone, it can imply that there is something mysterious or enigmatic about the subject being discussed, and the speaker is inviting the listener to discover more.

Chilling tone:
The chilling tone in Yuril is often used to convey a sense of fear, mystery, or awe. When a word is spoken with a chilling tone, it can evoke a sense of unease or trepidation in the listener. For example, the word for "building" in Yuril is "Vorin," but when spoken with a chilling tone, it can imply that there is something unsettling or ominous about the structure being referred to. Furthermore, the chilling tone can also be used to convey a sense of amazement or awe. When a word is spoken with a chilling tone in Yuril, it can suggest that there is something grand or magnificent about the subject being discussed. For example, the word for "palace" in Yuril is "Fyrndorh," but when spoken with a chilling tone, it can imply that the palace is a place of wonder and splendor.

Diacritical Marks:
Another notable feature of the Yuril language is the use of diacritical marks, which are small symbols placed to teh side of a letter to indicate a specific tone. In Yuril, there are three diacritical marks used: the high tone diacritical mark ( / ), the low tone diacritical mark ( \), and the chilling tone diacritical mark ( } ). These marks can change the entire tone of a word, so they are important to pay attention to when reading or writing in Yuril. Just like how diacritical marks can be stretched throughout an entire sentence or other segment of text when speaking yuril,  diacritical marks can be stretched out when writing or reading yuril. This can be done by simply expanding the length of the diacritical mark symbol to accompany the entire segment of text in which you want the diacritical mark to be present. Tone can also be used in combination with other elements of language, such as intonation, stress, and pitch, to create even more nuanced meanings.

Stress
The stress on a particular syllable or character within a word can change the meaning of a word entirely. The word for "night" in Yuril is "Nyl," but when stressed on the second syllable, it can mean "darkness." Similarly, the word for "dream" in Yuril is "Myn," but when stressed on the first syllable, it can mean "fantasy" or "illusion."

Intonation:
Intonation can also change the meaning of a sentence in Yuril. For example, the sentence "I didn't eat the apple" can have different meanings depending on the intonation used. If spoken with a falling intonation, it can mean "someone else ate the apple." If spoken with a rising intonation, it can mean "I didn't eat the apple, but I did something else with it." Similarly, the sentence "you love me" can be interpreted differently depending on the intonation used.

Pitch:
Pitch is another element of language that can be used to convey meaning in Yuril. A high pitch can indicate excitement or enthusiasm, while a low pitch can indicate sadness or depression. For example, the word for "love" in Yuril is "Ayr," and when spoken with a high pitch, it can convey a sense of passion or intensity. Conversely, when spoken with a low pitch, it can indicate a sense of longing or despair.
