Introduction to Grig Blog Lesson 1

What is Grig!? Grig is a language, not widely known, but in total probably only about 2-3000 people speak it world wide. It is a magickal language used to amplify the energy one puts into a working, andto give it more secrecy, as well as to act as a key. Some say it is as old as 300, while others say 100. Is it difficult? On a scale of one to ten, ten being the hardest: 3. In other words, no, not at all. The only thing most people tend to have difficulty with at first is the vowels, but most of them we already have, we just call them something else.

Lets start!

The "r" is a troublesome consonant. It can be pronounced rolled, or like the english "r" or like the subtle 'r' in "farm" if you were to say it with a British accent. But, you will just learn as you go!

The thing about Grig: EVERY letter is pronounced exactly as written (unless it's like 'r' in which case I will elaborate). There's no weird spelling, if you see gh, then you say "gh".

So what does Grig mean? It means Language. Simple as that. In this case the 'r' is rolled.

It is important in Grig to pronounce the vowels exactly as they are to be pronounced: for instance, "can". When one says "can" you often hear it as "cen", no! Bad! cAn.

If you see an apostraphie, like in the word h'y, this is a vowel. The apostraphie in Grig is the most difficult part of Grig for many, so I will teach it first: it is just voice. No specific vowel, just voice. Not a e i o or u, but a mixture of all of them together! Experiment until you can't tell what vowel sound you are making, this is '.

There, now that we're done that, let's begin!

In Grig, there are no genders (I hate that) no declensions (I hate that more) nor are there any cases (that too).

Grig is not related to ANY other language. It has NO similarities to any vocabulary of any language. It is its own system.

Now, In Grig there are 3 ways to say "is". 1: Ha, "ha" is used when saying: that IS a book, I AM a boy, that IS a Dog. It is used when stating a definite thing.
2: Thriniil (pronounced thrineeil with a rolled 'r'). Thriniil is used when describing something: It IS cold, This IS heavy, I AM tired.
3: H'y (H'ee) H'y is sed when stating something EXISTS either somewhere, or just exists: There ARE men (men exist), I AM here (I exist here), et cetera.

Now vocab: Mne=I/me (mn is like one sound like the mn in "amnesia"

Glov=you (pronounced as spelled)
Thi (pronounced thee with a hard 'th" like in think)=he/him/male
ith (pronounced eeth)=she/her/female
ach (ch is pronounced like a cat's hiss)=good/fine/positivity in general
cha (ch same as above)=bad/not good/negativity in general
Have you noticed it yet?
Thel=and
or(rolled 'r')=with
buinan (buh-ee-nan)=human
-eth= if you tack eth onto the end of a word, it pluralizes it, therefore gloveth=you guys, or all of you.
gin=in ---->an=this----->na=that---->Grarn=earth/place/land/origin/location(first 'r' rolled, 2nd is pronounced as in english) gin an grarn=here gin na grarn= there

Mne h'y gin an grarn or gloveth.
