Séillethear Chéighea is a [[fictional diachronic language and was created by Anselm Huppenbauer. It has been used for a translation of the Babel Text.

[edit]

Language sources

Séillethear Chéighea is a daughter language of Arσeía (Arθa Σeía Ailavunya), and thus all the words underwent regular sound changes from [Archeía] .

[edit]

Design principles

Séillethear Chéighea's main inspiration has been Irish, thus the most striking feature of the language is the opposition between 'broad' (normal) consonants and 'slender' consonants (palatals or consonant + /j/). Other features are the reduction of unstressed vowels to schwa.

Interest of others

Séillethear Chéighea has been presented at the ZBB, and has been complimented on her orthography.

(The fact) that my mother forbade me to play (when there was a) thunderstorm, maybe is the reason that I am still horribly afraid of thunderstorms.

The same phrase in the ancestorial language Arσeía: O· Amnasya wa· ξánoθa ringai’ panξηzai· de, elán sí o· stásis, n’ anga lan· ξanossan torne paunaya.
