KYHDU LANGUAGE

This is not an exhaustive reference of their entire language, which would include thousands of words, but rather a sampling of the words you will see in the game. We may recognize words or phrases here and there from the KyhduRa language.  The many languages of Earth were partially influenced by the GahduRa to begin with, so naturally bits of our languages retain that of the Gahdu.  Due to humans (Avau) being taken from all over the planet over a prolonged period of time, the KyhduRa language is also partially an amalgamation of many Earth (Ava’i) languages and has also naturally changed over time as any other living language does.

ALPHABET & PRONUNCIATION

The alphabet consists of 20 sounds, spoken phonetically:
A B D E G H I K L M N O P R S T U V W Y.

Vowels: A E I O U Y, are pronounced much as they are in Latin languages. 

Consonants: B D G H K L M N P R S T V W, are pronounced similarly as they are in English.

“G” is always a hard sound as in “Goat.”

The “H” without a vowel after it is properly pronounced “Hě” as in “bed,” making Kyhd pronounced Kīhěd, however it is common to just pronounce words without it as in Kīd.

“u” at the end of a word makes it plural, such as “s” or “es” in the English Language, but this can be used at the end of which ever part of a word in a compound word is the part that is plural, such as KyhduRa. Meaning Children of Ra.

“I” at the end of a word, if not preceded by an apostrophe, often acts as “y” or “ly” in English such “cloudy”.  An exception to this is in the Kyhdu word “nwi” which means both “great” or “greatly”.

Compound words can be formed in multiple ways. 

*Nanwi translates to Water [that is] Great or Ocean. 

*KyhduRa “Children (of) Ra” capitalizes the R because Ra is the name of the System’s star. 

*Words that consist of only one letter such as “I”, meaning “Home”, are often preceded by an apostrophe when used in a compound word such as “Kyhd’i” meaning “Child’s Home.”
