Kiris t’Ogeha ursel veraste Ursegal voy…” [/i] When the world was young, the gods spoke to our ancestors. Their first words live in our speech even today… [i]”Sudhel Idedroc nahe Tain voy jheos, suquaal ta Baudagebal Som Venarcu gat voilem samur. Surintur siken Urodrocal et Cai yesaghe gat ta Jeme otekka. Sudebon siken Ogehabal Palverarattur voilem voy. Supalle ta Solleibal hoel ta Comme Som Venarcu aste sar, surintur verras Baudagebal t’Ogeha verras hun gat. Sudhel siken t’Iote Drobaubal rott. Sugopazar ta Naith heos kret, sutruem yenahne tra yeris keay Palekabal yose tra, sutalverra et Saghe wholta. Choos tra, marrvpa, sudhel Ursegal eranc.”[/i] When dragonkind was small in number, there existed only the children of Windsinger. These early ancestors, from near the beginning of their existence, created a way of communication out of necessity. Only in their realm was this archaic form of speech used, and as other deities followed in Windsinger’s path, new species created amongst themselves their own form of speech. This was the way for generations. But as the world aged and inter-flight trade and living habits became common, the need for a universal tongue was stronger than ever. And thus, slowly, what is now known as One Tongue came into existence. -------------------------------[/center] Welcome to the Flight Rising fan constructed language project! We’re super excited to share it with you after months of work. This is a constructed language, built specifically for the FR world - the language of dragons. Feel free to use our dictionary for lore, role-play, names, or any other site-related purpose. It’s not even close to finished, but that’s where you come in. There are ways you can contribute below! This project is completely user made and user run. No Flight Rising admins were involved in the process. This thread introduces, links to, and supports our project. Feel free to discuss here, and if you would like to try some writing, feel free to post it here.

[center][b]Our language has many uses, and in this post I'll be putting up things that I think are cool that were made using it. These can be names or headcanons or just translated things. Check back every so often for neat stuff. [/center][/b] [quote][size=5][color=#572302][b]DRACONIC NONSENSE #01: GUARDIAN TITLES[/b][/color][/size] Every Guardian in Sornieth who has come of age carries a title which accompanies their name. A guardian who have just begun his search is called [b]Yevaun[/b]. This means “Searching.” When their charge is found, they become a [b]Yerlan[/b], a “residing or settling.” they will remain a Yerlan until the passing of the next festival. In more traditional cultures (Earth, Ice, Nature etc) , this period lasts until the guardian finds a permanent home with his charge. This can take a matter of minutes or a matter of years. More progressive flights (Wind, Arcane, Lightning,) follow the festival rule. Once this time is over, the guardian becomes a [b]Sulan[/b], or “settled”. Most guardians remain Sulanal for the rest of their lives. In the event that a charge is somehow lost, the title changes to [b]Suvaun[/b], or “searched.” In formal situations, it is rude not to address a guardian with their title unless, of course, the guardian is a Suvaun[/quote] [quote][size=5][color=#572302][b]DRACONIC NONSENSE #02: TRADITIONAL TUNDRA GREETINGS[/b][/color][/size] When meeting for the first time, the majority of tundras will say one of three things. Tundras are taught these phrases from hatching and they are second nature to them. Greeting - “Kibohain Pache tagal.” Translation - “You smell like family.” Traditional response - “Torsahe ranen fek.” Translation - “[then] walk with me.” This is said when one’s scent brings positive or neutral emotions. It is rather common as convention assumes positive in neutral situations. Greeting - “Kibohain Umris tagal.” Translation - “You smell like blood.” Traditional response - (none) Translation - (none) Let's just say that this is the opposite of the first response. There is no traditional verbal response as this is where conversations end. Greeting - “Kibohain Aiga gat.” Translation - “You smell of Ice.” Traditional response - “Fienure ranen enual.” Translation - “[then] remember me fondly.” This is said when one’s scent evokes no memories. The two parties have truly never come in contact with one another before.[/quote] [quote][size=5][color=#572302][b]DRACONIC NONSENSE #03: GENERAL TITLES[/b][/color][/size] In Ursegal, general titles (placed behind a name with a hyphen) are used to show the placement of individuals in the social order and how they relate to each other. They fall into three categories. Relation Relation titles show the relationship between the speaker and the subject or listener. They are not necessary to include, but can often be helpful in the understanding of a situation. State State titles show the position of an individual in the social structure or a state of being that applies universally. With the exception of -ayel, one almost always uses state titles. They are, however, omitted when two persons of the same state refer to each other. Age A type of relation title, age modifiers are not necessary to include, but are considered a must in polite company if no other titles apply. [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xmjjs3sep0KmkoxPa2EeNP6g-6v0RUFgORWPaITnJrw/edit?usp=sharing][size=5]The full list of titles can be found here[/size][/url][/quote] [quote][size=5][color=#572302][b]DRACONIC NONSENSE #04: AIGUTE[/b][/color][/size] [i]Aigute[/i] is a s traditional Ursegal lullaby. The poem is said to have been written by a homesick Ice dragon, though this may or may not be true, and details a short conversation between the speaker and a frostbite humming bird. The song is most popular in areas of Arcane, Wind, and Fire territory where frostbite hummingbirds migrate during winter, but can be heard throughout Sornieth. It has been set to many tunes, [url=https://soundcloud.com/project_skysong/aigute]but this one is by far the most popular[/url]. Below are the lyrics and an admittedly less than elegant translation [quote][columns] [00:09] Kivaran kidhelsik Yetruem satorik Kitalran vene sak Kihanaigran sevak [00:33] Aigute Aigute Jaav kidhelain yene Som Aigicur ala Kidhelsik ravas para [00:53] Haravenderan ainen Jheose kiyentain Haytutran kensipa Vekinefenain [01:13] Aigute Aigute Matke ranen Jussahe Jheose kini subris (al)* Nihe ranen fenutar [nextcol] [00:09] I fear it's growing warm I must leave before I melt [00:33] Hummingbird Hummingbird Where are you going To Icewarden it is my duty [00:53] I will miss you while you are gone I wait patiently for your return [01:13] Hummingbird Hummingbird Tell me this, promise me When winter returns Come find me here [/columns] [/quote] [i]*The 'al' syllable in the last stanza is speculated to be the remnant of a "_____ ala" or "to [some specific place]" that was cut from the song to fit a certain rhythm. More likely it was placed to complete the rhyme[/i][/quote]
