- Letter genders:
- The Goron language has 2 main grammatical genders (which aren't always the same thing as genders such as male, female, etc);
- 'Good/Neutral' and 'Bad'.
- In normal speech, the Good/Neutral voicing of letters should be used, and in the context of something bad happening (generally) unvoiced versions should be used when possible.
- (Ranging from 'Dammit I stubbed my toe' to 'OH SHIT I THINK MY WIFE'S CHEATING ON ME WITH MY BEST FRIEND!' and beyond)
- ~Neutral~ P,B,D,G,W,Z,J / T,K,HW,CH ~Bad~
- B,P,D -> T
- G,J,Z,K -> CH
- W -> HW
- For statements, the grammar of goron is in the fashion of a polysynthetic language
- (which means root words have lots of things that effect them and give them meaning(as far as I can tell); gender, number, color, etc)
- You can read more about those kinds of languages here:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysynthetic_language
- There isn't a strict order for a 'sentence' but the general one is: Object(s) Verb(s) Subject(s)
- I have yet to decide what the pre/inter/suf -ixes will be.
- The 'tenses' are:
- Far Past (Centuries, Years)
- Near Past (Months, Weeks, Days)
- Now
- Now/Very Recent Past ("Has" would be the best description of a word like this in English)
- Near Future (Months, Weeks, Days)
- Far Future (Centuries, Years)
- And then, finally, a specific time.
- Gorons will use a base 6 numbering system, representing 6 main parts of a body: the body, each arm, each leg, and the head.
- If a word ends in an vowel, a glottal stop will be made (though, Glottal Stops are never written).
- -------------
- RANDOM WORDS:
- -------------
- Goro- [Title]: Goes before a name, that is on an honourable person(/being).
- Gudud [Noun/Verb]: Small Rock/Stone; Crashing into something.
- ipɑ [Descriptive]: White; Clear.
- otu [Descriptive]: Black; Dirty.
- $$ Verbs are actions (Walking, running, walked, ran, etc).
- $$ Subjects are usually Nouns; Persons, Places or Things.
- $$ Objects usually go along with verbs, as something that the verb happened to. (Example: "The girls hurled stones." The Object is Stones).
- $$ I am putting this here mainly so I can remember.
