Marinesh: A New Minecraft Overworld Language

 A New Minecraft Language

Purpose: I have a fictional empire in the digital sandbox game Minecraft. I have a degree in language and so I naturally needed to make a specific language for my universe and would like to share it with you to use or play with if you want. It’s not perfect by any means and I can and will add more to the dictionary with sentence examples for future elaboration. Courtesy, from The Dark Lord. The language is called Marinesh. Mar for Sea. 

My empire was first built on an open ocean. I brought inhabitants there to start this colony from a natural village. Mesh, just sounded good to me. This is the cultural language that unites around 20 cities in my Minecraft Realm, that span thousands of meters apart and are connected via rail. I plan to put up a measurement system that I created in my kingdom as well. Hope you enjoy!

Pronunciation: I can provide an approximation of the pronunciation of Marinesh words using English phonetics. However, Marinesh itself doesn't have a universally standardized phonetic system or established pronunciation guide. Here's an attempt to approximate Marinesh pronunciation using English sounds. However, do not fuss over it. The language was specifically designed to be very similar to English pronunciation. As you will see below in the samples.:

  • Emphasis on vowels: Generally, vowels are pronounced distinctly, such as "ah," "ee," "oh," etc.

  • Consonants: Most consonants should be pronounced as they are in English, but with attention to subtle differences.

For instance:

  • "Valinor" might sound like "vah-lee-nor."

  • "Tervash" might sound like "ter-vahsh."

  • "Avoran" might sound like "ah-voh-rahn."

Remember, this is a rough guide and may not fully capture the accurate pronunciation nuances of Marinesh, as it's a fictional language. If there's a specific word you'd like to know the pronunciation for, please let me know!

Basic Verb Conjugations:

In Marinesh, verb conjugation involves changing the form of a verb to indicate various aspects such as tense, mood, voice, and so on. Here's an example of how you might conjugate the verb "Verion" (to create) in different tenses:

  1. Present Tense:

    • I create - Verionan

    • You create - Verionan

    • He/She creates - Verionan

    • We create - Verionar

    • You (plural) create - Verionar

    • They create - Verionar

  2. Past Tense:

    • I created - Verionad

    • You created - Verionad

    • He/She created - Verionad

    • We created - Verionadar

    • You (plural) created - Verionadar

    • They created - Verionadar

  3. Future Tense:

    • I will create - Verionar

    • You will create - Verionar

    • He/She will create - Verionar

    • We will create - Verionaran

    • You (plural) will create - Verionaran

    • They will create - Verionaran

These conjugations demonstrate how the verb "Verion" changes to match different subjects and tenses. Marinech verbs usually exhibit regular patterns, but irregular verbs might have different conjugation patterns that need to be learned individually.

Episode 1: The Cleric’s Cloak

Have you ever wondered about the gent who wears the Tyrion purple cloak and works in a beautiful cathedral’esque building around a brewing stand. If you were to look closer at this villager’s cloak, like really look at it; you will notice a emblem sewn into it. This emblem is that of the destructive creeper.  My premier episode of Realm News covers my theory on the relation between the cleric and the creeper. I also delved into the ancients.  I would like to sum up the episode in a way that is not expanded in the podcast.  I posit that the clerics are held to a sacred order that unify them all. This unification is evident in the single creeper face they all wear in their choir regalia. This indicates to me a common practice or religion that is affiliated with the face on this royal purple cloak. Purple is in fact a color of royalty  Article on Tyrion Purple . This has been know for millennia so the significance of this figure amongst this fine dyed garment solidifies...

Ep.2 Mooshroom Islands and Zombie Spores

Image
  Last week I, The Dark Lord dropped a bomb on everyone. I put my theory out there that Mooshroom Island is responsible for the zombie outbreak that led to the extinction of the "Ancient Builders". I know that many of you who have listened to the podcast probably have their disagreements with such an outstanding assumption. I do not blame you for thinking in this fashion. However, I still believe that this biome is responsible for such a catastrophe on the Overworld.  I want to start this blog off with a poll that I conducted on Reddit. It was a simple yes or no question. I posed "Are Mooshrooms Controlled by the Red Mushrooms that Inhabit this Island?" Out of a sum total of 23 votes, the majority said No with 13 votes and the Yes had 10. The people have spoken and believe that these mooshrooms are not controlled by the fly agaric mushrooms that are directly on their head.  I found this to be very interesting survey. To me, it is apparent that they are being control...
