Eintrachtian is a West Germanic constructed language of the Indo-European language family, non-officially spoken and comprehended by native Eintrachtians primarily of the Royal Family and the aristocrats in Eintrachtia. The language is a mix of the English language and German laguage, and influenced by dialects of the Romance languages especially Latin and Portuguese. Eintrachtian despite being named after the country, is not official but a recognized language in Eintrachtia due to being understood only by a minority of the population.

The language was first emerged known as Penguinsian (or Penguinese), also known as Old Eintrachtian, spoken in Penguinsia, the first form of modern Eintrachtia. Penguinsian had its own alphabet, based on the English and Latin alphabet. The language wasn't widely spoken, only known to a few people, thus not having any official status. The language was then rearranged to its modern form by King John I in 2020.

Classification and history

The West Germanic languages

Eintrachtian belongs to the West Germanic group of the Germanic languages in the Indo-European language family. Eintrachtian started as Penguinsian that originated in Penguinsia between 2015 and 2016, before the official establishment of the Penguins Republic. It was mainly created by King John of Penguinsia around the year 2015. The language quickly developed into Old Eintrachtian which used the Latin alphabet, which differed from the original Penguinsian alphabet.

The Penguinsian alphabet consists of characters based from the traditional Chinese scipts, and influenced by some Japanese characters. Old Eintrachtian is extremely similar to the English language with mixed dialects from German and French. It was converted directly from the Penguinsian language to a more widely understood Latin alphabet, with slight difference is certain vocabluary from Penguinsian.

Modern Eintrachtian shares most similarities with Old Eintrachtian except from a few differences in grammar, with removed time sense and complex person narratives. The language was rearranged and redesigned by the Royal Court in 2020 to adjust the language to "fit modern needs".

Grammar and vocabluary

Eintrachtian has a very simple grammar compared with other Germanic languages such as English and German, with no time sense words like English's present, past or future tenses, but only simple time verbs such as:

Im run jasterdae. (I ran yesterdday. In which run is the verb and it stays the same in all time senses.)

When describing an action, in English the verb to be form where in Eintrachtian, it is simply the Subject + verb. Example:

Im elektionas für uppekomme Presidente.

I elected for upcoming Presidency. (I am going to be elected for the upcoming presidency.)

Nouns

Nouns in Eintrachtian can only be inflected for number and possession, similar to the English language, new nouns can also be formed by compunding. Eintrachtian nouns, however, is not inflected by gender but by case. Nouns representing a name of a person or a significant subject. (e.g. name of a country) Capitalising may also inflect on a determiner such as "De" (The) when indicating a significant noun:

Adam viv inn De Unitas Staats da Amerika den ise un Demokratik natione. (Adam lives in the United States of America which is a democratic nation. Here "Adam", "The United States of America" and "Democratic" are all capitalised as described above.)

Most nouns are countable in Eintrachtian; the plural formations are simple and can be shown by adding an extra -en at the end of the word, or adding a single -n when the word already possess a letter "e".

Noun formation examples:

  • Singlular: duer, penguine, komputer
  • Plural: dueren, penguinen, komputeren
