Durese for Bantha Brains. 

 

For Bantha Brains Publishing, Coruscant

 Foreword by Dr. Jeisai Kel

 

Foreword

Being one of the first species to achieve spaceflight, the Durese language has become a common language along with Basic as the Duros journeyed farther into the universe. In the shipping and business sectors, knowledge of it is a most valuable asset. Durese for Bantha Brains is an excellent holobook guide for beginning learners of Durese. The authors also recommend The Treatise on the Dureese Language, II Edition by Prof. Vaasai Zhoks and Dr. Cad Trokseg or Advanced Durese, LXXX Edition. In this holobook, learners will find explanations for Durese pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. The writers, editors, and transcribers wish you great luck with this edition and hope that visions of starlines will fill your eyes.

Duraam taziks ceim kooll.

Pronouns

In Durese, pronouns have five possible forms, three which indicate their role in a sentence, and another for possession. To be succinct, the Nominative is the subject, the Accusative is the direct object, and the Dative is the indirect object. The genitive indicates possession and vocative is used when referring to someone (ex: Hand me the Leivaks, Jal.)

	1st Person Singular	1st Person Plural	2nd Person Singular	2nd Person Plural	3rd Person Singular	3rd Person Plural
Nominative	vun	cem	lum	jull	vek	zhun
Accusative	vain	ceim	laim	jaill	veik	zhain

Genitive	vin	cim	lim	jill	vik	zhin

Vocative      ven                   cam         lem                   jell                 vuk                   zhen

 

Demonstrative Pronoun Table

To say who(-m)/that, the demonstrative is followed by the pronoun or noun of the person or object in question.

	this/that
Nominative	jes
Accusative	jeis
Dative	jaas
Genitive	jis
Vocative	jas

Interrogative 

Question words antecede the sentence or clause.

 

 

Ex: Lem zhona jeis kadog sodoos, stuk?

(you.voc) What is that drink called?

Ex: Vadunwil kektaimu-ruhwon stezhu kadoos, peksil stik?

Note: Vadnu = bantha | vadnu + il = vadunwil (ui not allowed in phonotactics)

Where was the Mando’s bantha?

Ex: Lum tizus sehilil lim, durod stuk?

How did you lose your hat?

	What/which	Where?	How?

-az - verb to adjective

-guk - noun to adjective

-wen - verb to noun

-taa - adj to verb

Adpositions

Unlike Galactic Basic, Durese has postpositions, meaning that the adposition follows the noun that they complement rather than in front of the noun. Additionally, nouns take the dative case endings if the postposition implies a static noun and takes the accusative case conjugations if the postposition implies a movement of the noun. 

Syntax

A few rules: Durese is an SVO (Subject, Verb, Object) language, when there are two verbs in a sentence the second verb appears at the end of the clause, and describers of any sort such as adjectives, adverbs, or prepositions follow the noun or verb that they describe. The sample sentences provided below should give direction on how these rules are to be utilized. 

 

NP -> NP AdjP

PP -> NP P

VP -> NP V AdvP NP V

Relative Clauses

In Durese, relative clauses follow the grammatical structure of prepositional clauses. The sentence has an OV pattern where the direct object takes the place of the subject and is in the accusative case. The conjugation of the indefinite pronoun goes at the end of the clause, similar to Durese adpositions. 

Vadnu, eizhalail zhonas jeis, baanus sihilail jais.

bantha.nom.sing grass.acc like.past dem.acc have.past hat.acc indef.acc

The Bantha, who liked grass, had a hat.

Numbers

Unlike Galactic Basic, which uses a Base-10 system, Durese uses a senary (Base-6) counting system.  

Number	Galactic Basic	Durese
0	zero	nozha [noʒæ]
1	one	jos [ʝos]
2	two	chak [xæk]
3	three	maim [mem]
4	four	trela [tʀɛlæ]
5	five	llod [tɬod]
10	ten	nozhelt
11	eleven	joselt
12	twelve	chakelt
13	thirteen	maimelt
14	fourteen	trelelt
15	fifteen	llodelt

Writing

Durese was originally written in a syllabary based on the Rakatan writing system. As a syllabary, Durese relies upon syllables being put together sort of like lego bricks. For the most part, this is done by attaching the matching vowel to the matching consonant on the chart. Important to note are the diacritics. The + indicates that the consonant is voiced rather than voicesless (refer to the phonetics section). For example, if one were to write the symbol for "ka," it could be changed to "ga" by additing the + to the top of the symbol. The symbols can also be reversed so that "ka" to "ak." The gemination marker marks when the length of the sound is doubles. For example, izeddu [ɪzɛd:u] Finally, there is the triangle marker, which indicates that the vowel is silent. This allows for consonant clusters to be spelled with the writer knowing not to pronounce the vowel. It is placed to the right hand side of the symbol. Like Aurebesh, it is read left to right.
