>>106258065Orcach is a simple language which, like the culture, stresses action and purpose over substance, along with having a focus on context for what is being said. Most sentences only are around 3 words long, due to the information meant to be conveyed in the different sounds within it. This structure usually as such:
Subject/Verb
Direct Object
Modifications
Subjects and verbs are part of the same word, with each verb being modified to show the subject. Orcach itself has no tenses, though may specify a time during the modifications of a sentence.
Subjects: The following are the six subjects that are commonly used to modify verbs. It should be noted Orcach does not have gendered subjects due to lack of general social differences between men and women.
I: O- (Oh) We: Oko- (Oh-koh)
You: U- (u) You all: Uku- (u-kuh)
He/She/They: A- (ah) They (plural): Aka- (Ah-kah)
It: E- (eh) That: Eke- (eh-keh)
When a named subject or object needs to be the object use the Direct Object word, though move it before before the Subject/Verb. Use the proper subject type for the verb still.
Verbs: The following is a list of general verbs from the Orcach language. Denoting an occupation is often does as a verb, as they are often used to describe of states of being. When stated in aggressive tone to another it is seen as a command or a clear statement of interest toward that verb.
For example, to yell Umah! would be as if you were yelling "You will sleep/You need sleep". To yell Omah! would be as if you were yelling "I need sleep/I am getting some sleep".
To be a Warrior: -rk (rK)
To Be (meaning changes as makes sense): repeat sound of subject. I am is Oo (Oh-Oh), It is is Ee (eh-eh), They are is Akaaka (Ah-Kah-Ah-Kah)
To Fight: -khan (Kan)
To sleep: -mah (mah)
To eat: -ka (kah)
To give: -lah (Lah)
To hate: -Shan (Sch-ah-n)
To Be a Mage: -majah (Mah-Jah)
To Be a Healer: -wah (Wah)
To show appreciation: -mote (mOat)
Any verb can be made to seem "nicer" by adding on -ach (ah-k) at the end of it. This denoting a "please" or sign of great respect for what that person is or is doing. Adding this with a rising sound at the end of the sentence denotes a question or kind request.
Direct Objects: The direct object follows the subject/verb combination word which begins each sentence. To specify a person or group one either uses the name or uses the "subject" form with the final syllable stretched out to around a half second long.
For Example, if one was to say "I fight you" the sentence would be "Okhan u" with the u stretched out to about half a second long. For the sentence "You fight us" the sentence would be "ukhan oko" with the final "Oh" sound of 'oko' stretched around a half second. In times of great anger this may be even stretched longer to denote either no choice being in the matter, or just a plain desire to make a larger show of the matter when it is yelled.
For other direct objects this sort of stretch can also apply, though is much rarer.
Some sentences, especially those of the "To Be" verb, may not have a direct object. Only use a Direct Object when it is needed for the sentence.
adding on -a (ah) to the end of a direct object marks it as plural.
