My languages usually have differing sentence structures, which does make
it difficult to translate if you're used to English. That's why I made
Tigerian like English, with a bit of Spanish (adjectives come after what
they modify).
<p>From my own experience trying to learn Spanish, I know it is hard to get
the S_O_V pattern down. It's so easy to use the foreign words with your
native syntax. I guess it's one of those things you have to get used to.
<p>About neighbor languages : The languages of Tigerian and Vihal are a bit
similar due to a common ancestor, but it might be because of their close
relationship. The country of Vihal does lie completely within
Tegireserana, so they tend to deal with each other a lot. However, since
both of these peoples consider their language as an art form which must
be protected and beautified, they keep their own syntax (Try figuring out
Vihal if you're a Tigerian speaker - subjects as suffixes added to the
verb and objects first).
