Daelyrian (language)

This is a list of Daelyrian words and syllables.

(Note that I have done no conlanging previously in my life, and know very little about it. Feel free to dm DuskShard or Spokenclaw on the discord about any issues you see).

Daelyrian vowels
Daelyrian uses most of the same vowels as standard Traveler's Tongue. It does, however, not use the letter u, and instead uses y instead. All the vowels are:

A, e, y, o (almost a å), ae/ (æ). The last is much more common than in other languages.

Pronouns
a=I

ar=he

ary=him

al=she

aly=her

arye=they (male)

alye=they (female)

aryes=them (male)

alyes=them (female)

Alphabet
The Daelyrian alphabet was originally designed to be carved into wood with knives or sharp stones, and therefore has many hard, straight lines. It developed in the time when the Daelyrians were mostly a semi-nomadic trader people on the seas, settling on islands but often moving about. Therefore, it was necesarry to be able to carve it into wood while travelling about.

Glyphs
The Daelyrian glyph language is supposedly much older than the Daelyrian Alphabet, stemming to the times of the ancient Daelyrian realms, now lost to us in the forgotten realms of the past. It consists of many highly intricate symetrical glyphs that each depict a single thing, making it technically a Logogramic language. Some glyphs are simple, consisting of only one or two sets of lines, while others are incredibly intricate, consisting of dozens of interweaving lines. It was designed initially to be used with scorching techniques where hot irons would be placed into braziers, taken out and carved into wood or even stone. Examples of this language being used is in several ancient Draconist texts and on the walls of ancient temples. Noble families of Daelyrian descent also often have their own glyphs. Glyphs are somewhat stackable, with them being able to be worked around each other to create more complex words or expressions. In modern times they're used mostly as stamps for noble houses and in temples, either on banners or stone tablets, though they can also be used in books as the first letter or heading of a chapter.
