Carish (or natively Carės) is an a posteriori conlang which is inspired by the Romance Languages in order to give it a heavily European sound quality when spoken and an easily recognisable orthography - which appears slightly different to other romance languages. It is heavily influenced by Spanish, Romanian, Italian, Portuguese, French, Latin as well as Esperanto.
Carės uses the Latin script when writing and uses the same letters - minus a few. It also has three new letters not officially included in the English alphabet but do exist in other languages in order to represent common sounds and create a phonemic. alphabet - like Esperanto.
Las Vocalas / The Vowels
Carės uses five vowels - similarly to English. These vowels can also be given a dot diacritic (◌̇) above the vowel, this does not change the sound but changes the amount of stress given to the word.
*Aa (a)- "a" in father
*Ee (e) - "e" in set
*Iı (i) or (j) - "ee" in see
*Oo (o) - "o" in ordinary
*Uu (u) or (w) - "oo" in food
In carės, the stress falls on the penultimate syllable unless the dot (puncta) is placed above the letter.
Notice the letter Iı - it does not have a dot - this letter is also present in Turkish & Azerbaijani, where it represents the sound (ɯ). In carės, it represents (i) instead.
Las Consoanas / The Consonants
Carės uses 20 consonants, 15 that are common with the English alphabet - note that the alphabet does not use the letters j, k, q, w, x or y. These sounds can, however, be made using a combination of letters.
*Bb (b) - "b" in boat
*Cc (k) - "k" in kilo
*Ċċ (t͡ʃ) - "ch" in cheese
*C̣c̣ (t͡s) - "ts" in cats
*Dd (d) - "d" in dig
*Ff (f) - "f" in fire
*Gg (g) or (ɣ) - "g" in go
*Hh (h) - "h" in heat
*Ll (l) - "l" in love
*Mm (m) - "m" in mouth
*Nn (n) - "n" in no
*Ṅṅ (ɲ) - "ñ" in Spanish or "ń" in Polish
*Pp (p) - "p" in pig
*Rr (r) or (ɾ) - "r" in rope
*Ss (s) - "s" in sing
*Ṡṡ (ʃ) - "sh" in show
*Tt (t) - "t" in talk
*Vv (v) - "v" in vest
*Zz (z) - "z" in zebra
*Żż (ʒ) - "s" in measure
The alphabetical order (Ordo Alfabetıco) for this language is as follows:
Numbers in carės are very easy to create, once you know the numbers from 1-10, 100 and 1000 you can create almost every number you would need in daily speech.
0-10 / Nula a Dıec̣e
0 - Nula
1 - Un
2 - Du̇
3 - Trı
4 - Catra
5 - Ċinċe
6 - Ṡes
7 - Ṡepta
8 - Ota
9 - Ṅau
10 - Dıec̣e
11-99
For round numbers such as 20, 30, 40 etc simply add the suffix -te to the end of the number e.g.:
20 - Dute
30 - Trıte
40 - Catrate
50 - Ċınċete
60 - Ṡeste
70 - Ṡeptate
80 - Otate
90 - Ṅaute
In order to say numbers in-between round numbers simply use the round number followed by the digit e.g.
11 - Dıec̣e un
22 - Dute du̇
35 - Trıte ċınċe
73 - Ṡeptate trı
89 - Otate ṅau
100+
*100 - Ċenta
*1000 - Mil
*2000 - Du̇ mil
*10000 - Dıec̣e mil
*60000 - Ṡeste mil
*100000 - Ċenta mil
*1000000 - Milȯn
