Learn 'a hu 'u fi (For English speakers)
ha 'a 'u mu! In this section, you will learn the language. If you want to see the pamphlet in Russian, go here.
Grammar
'a hu 'u fi uses the SOV (Subject-Verb-Object) word order. This is the word order used most commonly around the world.
An example of this word order can be described as switching the verb and object of an English sentence around. Like "He pizza wants" would be used.
There are no articles, or words for "is", "are", and "am".
You must take the 30 words in this language and combine them to make meanings. If you try hard enough, you can get many interesting meaings for it.
I personally cannot advise you to try to make up your own words, as that would ruin the purpose of this language. When describing sentences that would use "is"
"am" or/and "are", you must use a hyphin or an em-dash. Similar to Russian.Proper noun rules
For proper nouns, you must translate the words of that PN into 'a hu 'u fi equivalents. The proper nouns must also be bracketed to show that they are a name of something rather than a fully fleshed out word. You must use "yi wa" before the PN to indicate that it's a person's name, "fu wa" for a place, and " 'a hu wa" for a language. You must also replace any letters of the PN from another language and replace them with the closes approxement, according to the chart below.
E becomes I
O becomes U
B becomes P
V and PH becomes F
(Voiced and Unvoiced) Th becomes F
R, WH and L becomes W
Q, X and G, C, KH, GH, CH becomes K
S, Z, J, SH (English pronunciation) and D becomes T
And you must put the vowel "I" at the end
