Okay, this will be the language page. Let's get started, then.
Calorameanan
Calorameanan is a language spoken by the residents of a desert-like country (kind of like India or the Middle East) called Calorameana, pronounced "kah-lohr-uh-mee-an-uh" which is hard to say at first, but is easy to say after you get the hang of it. As most languages I have made up, it is mostly spoken by substituting letters for other letters,and attempting to pronounce the result. Through error and years of practice I have finally thought of one way to fix the bugs in languages that are made this way. It is kind of like a code, but there's a general unwritten rule that you can change spelling to make it easier to read, as long as you pronounce it correctly, so it is indeed a language.
Here's the code:
a = e
b = l
c = m
d = n
e = o
f = d
g = r
h = x
i = a
j = a
k = m
l = h
m = x
n = b
o = u
p = x
qu = i
r = h
s = j
t = f
u = i
v = g
w = c
x = s
y = a
z = s
ch = v
sh = x
th = t
wh = p
ck = ma
sch= w
ld = da
ing= la
sp = h
As you can see, there are a lot of letter combos that you have to watch out for. Be careful not to mess up. Don't put "hugabr" for 'loving' when you mean to say "hugla" Lucky for you who hate conjugating verbs in other languages, conjugate it in English or your native language, and translate. There is only one rule for speaking/writing Calorameanan so far, that is:
Double consonants at the end of a word that are hard or impossible to pronounce can have the letter "a" added. Example:
brown = lhucb = lhucba
And as for the sounds...
a = ah or ay, depends on what the word is
e = eh in the middle, silent at the end of a word except when that would be unpronounceable, then it's 'eh' and 'ee' if that's what it would be in English.
i = ee, ih, or I is good for this. Use common sense.
o = oh, aw, or whatever you think. Arbitrary, you know?
u = simple, just always 'ooh' never 'uh' unless it's otherwise impossible to pronounce.
So those are the vowel sounds!
Here's an example of Calorameanan. Have fun studying this language if that's what you want!

And that's everything I know about Calorameanan, and I'm the creator!
