Ni avantazi d'Europún - Un composizon d'lingo

Esperanto vs. Europún In the long run there will be a decision whether Europún is strong enough or not to replace the existing and respected European auxilliary language Esperanto as the European Unilang?! The only way wud be thru simple and adaptable approaches...let's see what we have here...


Ni artikali: Nu, Ni et Un
Nu/Ni: The definite articles "Nu" and "Ni" derive from the Irish articles “An” (sgl.) and “Na” (pl.). In Europún “Nu” means “the” (sgl.) and “Ni” “the” (pl.). There is no distinction between f, m and n, i.e. nu fem – the woman, ni femi – the women, nu patar – the father, ni patari – the fathers, nu strat – the street and ni strati – the streets.

Un: The indefinite article is “Un” and there is no distinction between f, m and n, i.e. un fem – a (one) woman, un patar – a (one) father and un strat – a (one) street.

Singular et Plural

Nominativ (-i):
As most of the words in Europún end with a consonant it is easy to add the plural suffix –i:
Un/Nu stat – Ni stati
Un/N’akv – Ni akvi
But: Un taksi/nu taksi - ni taksi

Genetiv (-eq, -iq or –qi):
Ni tabali d’bareq (sgl.)
Ni vali d’landiq (pl.)
Ni banqi d’parq (sgl.) y ni portali d’parqi (pl.)
Ni gani d’paradúqi (pl.)

Dativ/Akusativ/Lokativ/Temporativ (-i)
D: Con matar – Con matari
A: T’castal – T’castali
L: I zatox – I zatoxi
T: Ay tid d’soloq – Ay tidi d’soloq

Pronounciation
Europún allows the speaker to pronounce a word in a way that is familiar to her/his own language (but to keep a unique spelling at the same time), i.e. Nu faz – The face:
English: Nu feıs
German: Nu fa∫
French: Nu fas

C, K et Q
C is the "K" in the beginning: con-vil-ud!
K is the "K" in the middle: n’akt (except Genetiv plural, i.e. ni pagi d’buqi)
Q is the "K" in the end: nu Iraq

Reason: The “K” sound is not equally represented in the European languages. Therefore a combination is needed to reflect the varieties of the “K” sound so different European language groups find it easier to accept Europún spelling.


Ni jokari - The jokers

“Z”
Pronounced as “SH” (IPA "∫") it allows the speaker to use it as a soft “SH”, “TS” or even “S” in all its variety, i.e. nu zabad, nu zatox, nu danz.

“Ú”
Pronounced as “EE” (IPA "I:") it is replacing “-Y” in English, “-IE” in German and French, i.e. n’apatú, nu farmazú.

„X“
Pronounced as „CH“ (IPA "X") as in „Loch“ it allows the speaker to change the sound „CH“ to „K“ or “KS”, i.e. na monarxú, na export/eksport, na taxi/taksi (ni taxi/taksi pl.):
English: The monarchy, the export, the taxi
German: Die Monarchie, der Export, das Taxi
French: La monarchie, l’export, le taxi
