An Esperantoid language. Basically Esperanto relexified with a mixed vocabulary from major world languages rather than just European ones, and some grammatical reforms which make the language more isolating to accomodate a wider range of speaking habits.

Phonology and Orthography

Esperadunye uses a reduced phonology from that of Esperanto as well as reformed orthography that eliminates the need for the E-o's "daft hats". The changes are outlined here.

Ĉ Ĝ Ĥ Ĵ Ŝ Ŭ

These letters are no longer used in Esperadunye. The sounds they represent have either been reassigned to other letters or removed from the phonology.

C Pronounced [ʧ] as Esperanto Ĉ. J Pronounced [ʒ] as Esperanto Ĵ. Q Pronounced [ʤ] as Esperanto Ĝ.

W Pronounced [w] as Esperanto Ŭ in "ŭato". X Pronounced [ʃ] as Esperanto Ŝ. Y Pronounced [j] as Esperanto J in "jes".

Grammar

As with Esperanto, Esperadunye uses various suffixes to indicate the part of speech of a word although the specific suffixes are different.

Verbs

Verbs always end with "-a", unlike Esperanto which has distintive endings for tense. Tense in Esperadunye is indicated solely through the use of adverbs of time.

Nouns

Nouns, as well as pronouns, always end with "-e". There are no inflections for plurality or the accusative as in Esperanto.

Adjectives and Adverbs

Adjectives always end with "-i", and adverbs with "-o".

Vocabulary

Esperadunye marks parts of speech as Esperanto does however the actual markers are different.

-e = -o (noun/pronoun)

-a = -i (verb)

-i = -a (adjective)

-o = -o (adverb)

Esperadunye's vocabulary comes from a variety of world major world languages and/or sprachbunds.

dunye = world < Turkish, "Dünya", Hindi "दुनिया (duniyā)", Indonesian "dunia", Arabic دنيا (dunyā)

qine = person < Japanese "人 (jin)"

taka = speak, talk < English "talk"

xino = again < Mandarin "新 (xīn)"
