About Shprandoo
Esperanto but more 💅✨aesthetic ✨💅
Some notable differences:
• Less Eurocentric vocabulary
• Noun and imperative suffixes are switched(nouns end in -u, imperative verbs in -o)
• Accusative is formed by -m, plurals are formed by -s, and accusative plural is formed by -ms
• The elegant Portuguese ✨-nd-✨ instead of the less cool Latin -nt-
• The present is formed by -aŝ
• The negative prefix is a-(an- before a vowel) instead of mal-
• /w/ is spelled as w, not a weird u
• Irregularities
• Some phonological changes
• If any other syllable than penultimate is stressed, it's marked with an ’
• The borrowings from Esperanto are occasionally adapted to sound more fancy
