Katian language (Katialang) is a Latin-American language. it was influenced by English, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish in different aspects. I made it up because I was alone in my house and I thought it would be very interesting and funny.

Writing System[]

Writing system Katian language uses the Latin characters, with addition of some Polish letters. That is why it is recommended to write Katian using a polish keyboard layout.

Basic Grammar[]

Verbs[]

they generally go after the subject, they generally have a conjunction called the -fą form (fą mamufą). which turn them into nouns with a similar meaning. Examples are given here:

  • hadami= to speak - hadafą= conversation, speaking.
  • źatmi= to write- źatfą= writing.

the inflection consists of replacing the "mi" syllable of the end that every verb has with "fą". here we have an example when both forms of a verb are used together:

  • kuri mamumi mąłu mamufą - this is my way to be.

The following inflections are a result of a Japanese influence in Katian language:

Negative inflection: the "mi" syllable at the end of the verb is replaced with "źą".

  • hadami = hadaźą
    • to speak = not to speak

past (and participle) tense: the "mi" syllable at the end of the verb is replaced with "pamu".

  • hadami = hadapamu
    • to speak = spoke/spoken

future tense: the "mi" syllable at the end of the verb is replaced with "fami"

  • hadami = hadafami
    • to speak = will speak

"should" suffix: add the "tćini" suffix to the whole verb:

  • hadami = hadamitćini
    • to speak = should speak

"would" suffix: add the "kfimu" suffix to the whole verb:

  • hadami = hadamikfimu
    • to speak = would speak

"let's" inflection: the "mi" syllable at the end of the verb is replaced with "śo".

  • hadami = hadaśo
    • to speak = let's speak

request inflection: there are three kinds of request. the normal, the educated and the vulgar, you replace the "mi" syllable at the end of the verb with. as they have an abbreviated form, they will be written after the replacing words:

  • normal: hadamitende / speak mitende /miten (hadamiten)
  • educated: hadamitenśuan / please, speak mitenśuan /mśuan (hadamśuan)
  • vulgar: hadamitetai / fucking speak! mitetai /mitai (hadamitai)

If you would put a a negative past, future, should, would, let's or request. Zou put the verb in negative form first and add the other word as a suffix.

  • hadaźąpamu = did not speak

Adjectives[]

All the adjectives in Katian end up with the syllable "źi" and all the adjectives have an inflection called the "śu form" (śu mamufą) which turn them into nouns. here you get some examples:

  • lamaźi = lamaśu little / a little
  • hakaźi = hakaśu stupid / stupidity

comparative context[]

the comparative context of the adjectives is when you use them to compare. an example in English: easier is the comparative context of easy, harder is the comparative context of hard. In Katian it is used after the described object: it is formed by putting the suffix man to the whole adjective.

  • źoułu ide mamumi ramaźiman mąłu ide (your house is bigger than my house)

it is also used to express a change in the time, this sounds difficult to understand but here's an example:

  • kaiłu midaide mamufami ramaźiman pamuźilan (his museum will be bigger than yesterday)

superlative context[]

the superlative context is when you use an adjective to say something is the supreme thing. for example easiest is the superlative form of easy, hardest is the superlative form of hard. In Katian they are used before the described object: it is formed by adding the suffix maz to the whole adjective.

  • śindan źiśi łu nakźimaz kabafą centry mamumi nakiuma taśoka kabafą centry. (the most beautiful shopping centre in shindan city is the nakiuma tashoka shopping centre)

the "very" context[]

this is to say something is very-. it is used after the verb. thez are formed bz adding the suffix maru to the whole adjective.

  • śei midami nakźimaru (she looks very beautiful)

adverbs[]

the adverbs are used before the described verb, adjective or sentence. these are formed by an inflection in the adjectives, involving the syllable "kiu". there are like this.

  • haiaźi = haiakiu
    • fast, quick = quickly
      • kai haiakiu ikipamu gakuide ni= he went to the school quickly

articles[]

In Katian language, the article is a new feature. I say it because the Katian language had no articles but the problem was that poetry and the normal writings had a Bulgar sound and did not sound sophisticated and musical. the problem was that introducing the articles would carry on with a new thing to learn. But the thing is that there are just two articles in Katian:

definite article[]

the definite article in Katian is exactly the same as "the" in English and is used in the same way. The definite article in Katian is "na"


  • Na łami: The cat
  • Na kozu: The number
  • Na pybien paśu: The first person
  • Na budynki źou destpamu: The building you destroyed
  • Na lafąlang: The language of love

indefinite article[]

the indefinite article in Katian is exactly the same as "a, an" in English and is used in the same way. The indefinite article in Katian is "py"


  • py dadami: a dog
  • py onaśebi mą lapamu: a girl I loved
  • py bisoźi budynki: a tall building
  • py lapamu naśebi: a loved child
  • py hakaźimaru rampi: a very stupid adult

Nouns[]

there are two types of nouns for the pluralization: the universal nouns (ućuźi naumśi)and the y nouns (hya naumśi). the universal nouns: all nouns which do not end up with y. the pluralization of these is just adding the "śi" suffix.

  • łami = cat łamiśi = cats
  • paśu = person paśuśi = people

the y nouns: all those nouns that end up with y. you replace the y at the end with a z. these are some examples:

  • problemy = problem problemz = problems
  • ćumy = situation ćumz = situations

Adjective nouns[]

these are special words that can be used befor a noun as an adjective of simply as a noun. for example, the word "subzy" which means all, everything as a noun, but as mentioned before. It can also be used as an adjective:

sam stlipamu subzy (sam stole everything)
sam stlipamu subzy hon (sam stole every book)
