WELCOME.... To something dumb and fun.

Writing with angelic characters is simple and easy- they mimic english ones pretty closely. The green and purple are examples of words written out- angelic is very wild looking, and tends to merge. The green says MICHAEL, but you could see how similar that honestly is to NICHAEL... which is precisely why Michael's angelic name is super duper long:

Michael the Great Eternal Wise All-Seeing Eldest Powerful and Majestic.... ORRRRRR....

Michael eh magnus, Aeternus, Sophos, omnituens, primogenitus, potens, et magnificus.

Anyway! Angelic isn't just a written language. It's spoken, and spelled, in its own way...

Do you know Latin? No?? Yes??? Well, no matter the answer, you don't know angelic. It's a very bastardized version of latin, essentially stripped for easiness, and based on english. If you don't know anything about latin, I actually have a book up called 'Let's Learn Latin!' which is a very simple introduction.

But anyone can speak angelic! Even with google translate, once you know the basics of latin, you are GAME.

For example, hello. In latin, it's salve. So it's the same in angelic, simple as that.

The first example is simply wrong- the correct written angelic is the second one

It's only with sentences things get weird. Latin doesn't follow sentence order- english relies entirely on words being in the right places. Angelic does too.

So latin: 

Hello, boy. I am here, and I kill friends.

Salve, puer. Hic sum, et amici neco

By word order, the above is HELLO, BOY. HERE I AM, AND FRIENDS I KILL.

Which isn't very far off, but depending on the sentence, a lot can be lost. Latin relies on cases, declensions, and a lot of fancy stuff to tell people exactly what you're talking about. But those cases- there's a lot of cases- are haaaaard. 

So Angelic, being a lazy language, skips on that.

The above is simply, in angelic:

Salve, puer. Sum hic, et neco amici.

(hello, boy. I-Am here, and I-kill friends) (note latin verbs contain pronouns so sum=I am, neco=I kill)

There's still a few basic latin rules angelic obeys, such as verb conjugation. And there's little things, like angelic's more common use of pronouns (he/she/they=illa/ille/illud), the fact they DO have a sort of a/the which latin lacks- a sound, 'eh'- and again, totally wild abandon of cases. But I think going into details would be boring to most.

Check out my book on basic latin, learn the simples, and you too can make basic Angelic!!!
