Description The Osahdii/Avandii language is the official language of any star faring race In the Human occupied regions. The language is mandated By O'sahdii protocols and is a required subject in any formal education.

All official records documents, and publications are required to be in O'sahdii/Avandii. and most computer systems use the script in their operations. Secondary local languages and many local dialects are often spoken by natives to a particular world but anyone wishing to spend any time off world, other than as a tourist, will need to learn the language and it's alphabet.


O'sahdii/Avandii are phonetic Languages, each symbol in the alphabet corresponds to a specific Phoneme ( base sound) Avandii is written as it sounds, with the closest equivalent sound replacing sound not found in Base O'sahdii.

Avandii and O'sahdii do not use all the possible phonemes used in most earth languages, indicating the O'sahdii may have a different vocal tract from Base line humans. These unused sounds are added in enhanced versions of O'sahdii to accommodate slang, jargon, or local dialects, but they are not considered proper for use in legal documents, or formal writing.

Word structure in Avandii is very structured each syllable being pronounced distinctly. Their are no silent letters in O'sahdii. each Syllable is stressed equally unless specifically marked. with changes of inflection giving the word a different meaning
Example emphasizing the first syllable of a word denotes Female or positive , while stressing the last syllable indicates male of Negative. Placing a negative connotation on a word indicates that the opposite should be assumed..

When written ossadii/avandii is made up of the main line, and a line above and below, which contain modifying symbols or special marks to alter the tense, meaning, or nature of the word they are placed with.

To designate which Syllable is stressed the symbol will often be placed over a single horizontal bar.

Thank you, I had some help from a freind who gave me some great ideas. I Dropped a lot of human phonemes ( base sounds) and tried to make it Β sound as if an alien mouth and throat structure were being considered when the language formed.


The alphabet is take...70-90 with a grave yard of possibles being found on my hard drive.
