I was making a language recently as well 

@illusionist: It's just fun though to substitute english words and make up a language 

That doesn't count as a language though, just as a word substitution code

Articles:
The= unn [unn]
A= oto [oto]
Tons of= gotto [gotta]
Then for more than one say the number word
oto mahice (a house)
unn mahice (the house)
duu mahice (two houses)

Time:

Minutes: ni [nee]
Hours: hi [hee]
Days: di [dee]
Weeks: wi [wee]
Months: Ma [ma]
Years: Ya [ya]

Add ons to verbs:

Happening in future: soti-famu [sohtee-fah-moo]
Happened in past: soti-patu [sohtee-pa-too]
happened in past long time ago: soti-mato [sohtee-mahh-toe]
Future: famu [fah-moo]
Past: patu [pa-too]
Past (way back): mato [mahh-toe]

Is it going to have verb conjugation and structure or just be word for word to English?

Basically word for word to English, but a few differences such as adjectives, adverbs etc. being after the noun/verb.


And I'll add some other ones to the main post after school.

And please, we're doing this for fun, so stop complaining people.

Making a translator for this. It's gonna ROCK*!

* Ts and Cs apply.

We need to name the language... Any ideas?

You can't just replace words randomly and call it a language.
You have to have pronounciations, grammar rules, and slight predictability. You can't just go "Oh, let's make a language by making up words!" because that's a relex. Which isn't as awesome as a language because it's english with new words. Also, to make it more unique, you need to think of more sounds, and possibly an alphabet, or if you're feeling like you want a challenge, make it character-based like chinese languages.

I recommend reading this if you want to make a language. It helps you create grammar systems  and sounds and everything else you need to know.

Yeah, but this is just for a little bit of fun.

How will you make the translator?

I'll make it in Scratch. In fact, I already have. It needs to be downloaded to work. But since you cannot download, you can also use the Java player, but it only works once. Usually you can press the green flag to reset, but in the Java player you need to refresh the page.

Language:
The shark evil octopus good chases hungrily.

Add anything if you want.

Daughter: Prefa (Pree-fah)
Head: Tohdy (Toh-odd-ie)
Chest: Midody (Mid-odd-ie)
Arm: Graspahr (Gras-par)

Nose: Phlana (Ph-land-ah)
Nostril: Phloquo (Ph-low-co)

I hope that's enough

A language? Cool! Sounds like a cool thing to do. 

Maybe we should name it Scratchinese.
