Introduction

This dictionary aims to make clear the words of Northern Spanish, a dialect of Spanish with a lexicon designed to make the language unintuitive for speakers of English

Entries follow this form:

• article or class Northern Spanish Term (etymology (transliteration, if needed), meaning, if differing from NS meaning); 
  • Spanish translation
  • English translation (usage notes) [Citation of first work to use the term, using the citation system specified in the lore guide]
  • (other notes)

The article may be plural in some cases. Often, this is simply to maintain grammar. Adding an s to the stem will usually pluralise it correctly, often in addition to the form described.

Language specifics

Warning: The Spanish “dialect” of Northern Spanish likes to use terms in a way that disagrees with the linguistics use. Many say it is to “obsuficate” the language's guides but in reality, it is more likely underqualified idiots who name these things.

Grammar top-bits

Northern Spanish has a grammar based in most part off Spanish, especially in the use and application of verbs (including the decline of the future subjunctive). 

Northern Spanish co-exists with "Standard Spanish", a specific application of mostly-RAE Spanish. The choice to use Northern Spanish or Standard Spanish is a political move in most circumstances. Foreigners are exempt to this. All humans are also allowed to use Standard Spanish.

Phonology and orthography

Northern Spanish merges the s sound with f and the z sound with v.

There are several orthographies available. In the first, more traditional spelling is kept. In the second, “q” merges with “k” and “c” with “s” or “k”. “x” and “g” are also removed. “s” and “z” are replaced with “f” and “v” respectively

“f” and “v” are not pronounced a they might be in Standard Spanish or English. They have more of a seseo th sound

Gender

The general rule for gender is that if the final syllable has an o, u, or e, the word is masculine. If an i or a, feminine. For diphthongs, analyse the final vowel.

This rule does apply to native Spanish words carried over; it'd be “la idioma”, not “el idioma”.

Regularatory Bodies

Northern Spanish has no regulatory body. There are two main companies in charge of publishing dictionaries, but they differ in terms of orthography used and intent. The RAE still controls the usage of much of the particles. [LTp2]

Morphology

Northern Spanish is in the process developing its own agglutinative morphology; by clipping nouns and using them like adjectives, speakers allow themselves the ability to coin new words in an easier way; whilst it is a very political move to “regress” to English-sounding Spanish terms, it's also difficult to learn new words for everything. What's easier and more memory-efficent? "Cooked cow”, where ”cooked" is used to describe the noun, or "Beef”, where a whole different word is used? For learners, the first.

Take, for example, the words “slopetumo", “edmill”, and “denu”, meaning “gun”, “humanoid”, and “again” respectively. In the agglutinative morphology, “mill” and “den” remain.

So, “slopetumo-mill" means “gun-person”, or “gunner” in English. To append den would make it “slopetumo-mill-den”, or “regunner”.

It is convention to seperate the affixes with dashes in print. In dialouge, they run into the word such that the final term becomes “slopetumomillden”.

To seperate the affixes with spaces is acceptable but not considered good style by one of the dictionary publishers. 

This grammar point forms the most significant difference from Standard Spanish.

Case system

The case system is rarely used and is formed of several “markers”. These are functionally affixes. There are also the “weak articles”, la- and el-, and u-, which can be used to inflect definitiveness.

The cases are as follows:

• Nominative: unmarked, l' for definite nouns and u' for indefinite nous
  • For the object of a sentence; what a verb inflects for.
• Genitive: d'
  • The genitive is equivalent to English's ‘s (it must be noted that ’s is not a “posessive” marker; it indicates relation between nouns) and replaces de.
• Accusitative: o'
  • The accusative marks the subject of the sentence; what the verb is acting onto.
• Indirect object: 'a The indirect object denotes that the noun is indirectly related to the accused noun; equivalent to “to”.
• Instrumental: co'
  • Equivalent to con

The genitive and instrumental must remain near the noun they modify; the instrumental goes directly before it and the genitive directly after.

Note that the case markers are denoted with apostrophies. These go at the extremes of the full agglutinated noun, further from the root than the weak articles. If one was to instead use the strong articles, they'd be outside the noun.

Cases are only used when emphasis is required; in many cases, poems may use cases to move words into an order of importance or append a single case marker to a sentence.

Consider the following sentence:

con un slopetumo, él fekorrió el chovesk

This sentence translates to “with a gun, he helped the human”. One can then add cases, which in default form highlights the nouns “gun” and “he”:

co'u-slopetumo él fekorrió o'el-chovesk

Note that pronouns already include cases; see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Spanish_pronouns for a table. The inclusion of the pronoun, like in Spanish, conveys no new emphasis.

If one instead wanted to express that the important information was “helped” and “human”, one can re-arrange the sentence to no ill effect:

fekorrió o'el-chovesk co'u-slopetumo él

This translates to “Helped the human with a gun, he did”. Note how even the English translation applies some emphasis to the human and helped.

Remember that the instrumental must remain directly behind él.

In the case that él is removed, the instrumental-inflected noun will instead go behind fekorrió, as that is the only noun carrying the él.

IRL usage considerations

If one intends to use Northern Spanish IRL, it is suggested that one use it as a loan-word provider in Spanish as the volcabulary is small a it's only used for some storytelling contexts.

Words

Words are provided in the traditional orthography (preserving s and z in many cases rather then removing them, too). Those wishing to translate from English or Spanish may use the find tool.

The article is used to show gender; a ¡ is used for phrases and the verb ending the verb is conjugated by is used for verbs.

Notes:

• The word español is the only accepted term for all Spanish varieties in Northern Spanish; “castellano” is unheard of for it is understood to mean “the language of Castille”, which 
• "Fepellano" is only used by idiots given that it is a derogatory term for its own language, a swear word insulting the entirety of Northern culture.
• It's only listed here to allow those who loan it into their own language, such as Standard Spanish, to refer to a common definition.

Affixes

Listed below are the affixes. They have no gender and do not inflect for it. Unless otherwise mentioned, the etymology-brackets indicate the unclipped Northern Spanish word.

Where there are brackets surounding a vowel or liquid consonant, omit the vowel if the morpheme touches a vowel in the connecting word such that.

• -mill (edmill) -er; humanoid who does the verb or noun.
• -chov (chovesk) -er; human who does the verb or noun
• -lika (licanfroporumo) -wolf; Werewolf who does the verb or noun.
• den- (denu) -re; repeated actiontime
• men- (mendacio) not-; negates the noun, “mirroring” it.
• den-men- (affix rules) un- (as applied like undo); to return to a previous state. 
• Continua (as from Vietnamese numbers 1-5) (can both be used as in -? -er, -est in Englih adjectives or as pejorative and majuscilves when added to the b(o)- or s(a)- prefixes (as in sub- or super-)) (midpoints, if desired, can be derived by mixing affixes; jaipa would be somewhere between jai and pa)
  • mot- (m?t) Medium
  • jai- (hai) Kinda
  • pa- (ba) A lot/half/
  • pon- (b?n) very, equivalent to -isímo, 
  • na- (n?m) Too (much)
  • menmot- Less
  • menjai- Lesser/not-half
  • menpa- Much lesser
  • menpon- Very much lesser, equivalent to hypothetical menisímo
  • menna- Too (little)
• B(o)- (bon) good, as in the imaginary morpheme pro- in “productive”
• S(a)- (salli) mal- or ab-; bad, as in “abuse"”
• -vid (vidosto) of liquid form
• -ponvid (pon+vid) of gas form

• -kidi (qidivifo) everything
• -lif (lifana) language
• -mas (masa) female
• -mos (maso) male
• -erra (erramena) tool
• -for (forama) opening/orafice
• -zam (zamano) time
• -kas (kasita) (an IRL concept applied to an unreal metaphor)
• -jar (jararra) heat
• -menjar (men-jar) cold

Notes

• The -mill/-chov/-lika distinction is equal in political weight to the -person/-man/-woman occupational affixes (compare police officer, policeman, and policewoman) in English; -mill has become significantly more popular in the North. The distinction remains in the South.
• Sexism is not as relevant in the world as there is a much larger and obvious way to discriminate those who roam the street.
•  

Corrections and clarifications

The following corrections and clarification are in order:

• In AAp7, Alexander mistranscribes licanfroporum as “lycanthroporum” due to his Latin education.
• In AAp10 Artemis mistranslates admill as “human”. This is due to how obscure the word is.
