Line 1:
Dzarian is a conlang created by [[Ogel6000]] that was used on the civ server [[CraftLang]]. Neither the grammar nor the lexicon were inspired or based off of any real world language; Dzarian instead being a part of a conworld unique from Earth. The two biggest goals of Dzarian are precision, and completeness. Dzarian is mostly SOV.
Note: The language can be reffered to as 'Dzarian', 'Dzarid', or 'Dsarid', all of which are correct.
Line 410:
Nebarak tretin oh revvid?: How many diamonds do you have (diamond = treta)
== Imperatives ==
Imperatives are merely statements in future tense. They still require the four base words, and can include clauses as well. You may, however, use just the basic verb in future tense.
Oh enay ta tilekit: You will not sleep with her (Don't sleep with her.)
Oh ena e tiledit: You will kill me (Kill me.)
torranit!: Stop!
talrahit: Dont take [anything]. (notice the double verb declensions)
== Counting/Numbers ==
Dzarian is a base 10 counting system, like most of Earth.
0: ok
1: mu
2: ak
3: ni
4: or
5: do
6: er
7: su
8: an
9: ti
10: di
11: dimu
12: diak
20: akdi
21: akdimu
30: nidi
100: dort
101: dortmu
256: akdortdodier
1000: skort
10,000: mentar
100,000: drenahto
1m: etsolina
10m: korinmar
100m: ramak
1000m: ramalak
10b: tarala
100b: taralan
1000b: taralana
10t: ditaralana
beyond 10 trillion, you merely start adding 10, then 100, then 1000, and so on, in front of the number. (This happens infrequently in English too: "There could be a billion billion stars in our galaxy alone")
1/2: uk ak mu (literally: of two, one)
1/3: uk ni mu
2/5: uk do ak
.1: daltmu
.2: daltak
.01: daltokmu
.001: daltokokmu OR daltakokmu (lit: point two-zeroes, one)
first: muid
second: akid
Notice, if the number ends in a vowel, leave the vowel when adding the ending.
-1: trepmu (lit: less one)
-54: trepdodior
-1.65: trepmudalterdido

== Nouns ==
These are words that can only be used as nouns. Note, nouns can have a possessive pronoun attached, and still qualify as a single element in the basic sentence order. When listing multiple items, pluralization is done with '-in', however is you specify an amount (via a clause at the end of the word), pluralization is not used. On the other hand, some words (trin = eyes) represent multiple objects. If you wish to specify one of the object, you must declare 'uk trin mu'.
