 Introduction

Zdetl is the official language used throughout the Zhodani Consulate in the
age of the Third Imperium. While its precise origins are unknown, it is
commonly accepted that it developed in the wake of the Final War when
the surviving humans on Zhdant found themselves bereft of their Ancient
masters for the first time. Over the millennia, Zdetl evolved gradually into
its modern form, which was universally adopted as the official language in
the 300th Olympiad, the Imperial year -6055.
A distinguishing feature of modern Zdetl is its emphasis on standardization
in morphology, grammar, syntax, and structure. Zhodani culture is
fundamentally assimilative in nature; in other words, the Consulate is not
interested in conquest by force but by acculturation. To this end, the
Consular language has been simplified over time to make it easy to teach
and learn (or at least less difficult than other languages). This does not
mean that Zdetl lacks complexity – like the ancient Terran game of Go, its
fundamentals can be learned in minutes, but it can take a lifetime to truly
master, and few non-native speakers ever reach that level.
This dictionary is not intended to be complete; indeed, this would be an
impossible task as words are always being added to the overall Zdetl
lexicon. Instead, it is meant to be a starting point for learning the language
and vocabulary. As such it is a companion to the Zhdantia Language and
Cultural Institute’s other publications, Beginning Zdetl and
Conversational Zdetl. The first section contains a brief discussion of the
grammar of Zdetl; the rest of the book is a Zdetl-to-Anglic word list,
organized by the Zdetl phonemes in approximate Anglic order for easy
reference.
While the ZLI research staff have endeavored to produce an accurate and
precise publication, errors and inconsistencies are often unavoidable.
Questions, requests, and suggestions may be addressed to the ZLI at the

 Pronunciation Guide

The phonemes (sounds) of Zdetl are differentiated and distinct

and follow predictable patterns. Multiple vowels rarely appear together,
and syllables consist of Vowel (V), Consonant-Vowel (CV), Vowel-
Consonant (VC) or Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) groupings.
Words are accented, and the placement is usually predictable.
The accent usually falls on the penultimate syllable. If the word is two
syllables, the accent falls on the final. In the case of longer words there
may be a secondary accent on the first syllable.

 Grammatical Concepts

Sentence Structure
The basic sentence structure of Zdetl is object-leading; in other words,
the word order is Obj - Verb – Subj.
Fevr`anzh moch`i·tio’d.
(A book is being read by you.)

Adjectives precede the noun they modify: Adj - Obj – Verb - Adj – Subj.
Vrien`a ka`fi tla`pa·ens ka`yo·tle ziefr`i.
(Hot coffee is being drunk by the pretty woman.)

The same rule applies to adverbs: Obj - Adv - Verb – Subj.

Fevr`anzh a`chan·e mo`chi·tens.
(A book is still being read by her.)

The Indirect object follows the subject: Obj – Verb – Subj – Ind Obj.
Tlan`qil ki`lo·ik ai o’d.
(A letter was written by me to you.)

Sentences using verb infinitives take the following order: Obj – Verb Inf –
Verb – Subj.
Mi`to·tle’ i`ko·tik.
(To dance desire I.)

Prepositions precede the word they modify the same way adjectives and
adverbs do: Prep – Obj – Verb Inf – Verb – Subj.
Kon ens mi`to·tle’ i`ko·tlik.
(With her/him to dance desire I.)

Interrogative statements are either by the question word JDO:

JDO ka`fi i`ko·tlio’d?
(Do you want coffee?)

They can also include the word suffix AQLE:

Ka`fi i`ko·tlio’dAQLE?
(Do you want coffee?)

Conjunctions are placed between the nouns they refer to (i.e., Do you
want coffee or tea: O - Con - O - V - S (JDO Coffe OR tea/desire/you)
Jdo ka`fi pra kotl i`ko·tlia de?
(Do you want coffee OR tea?)

x
Posession and Agency
In Zdetl, agency or ownership of an action (verb) or noun is indicated by
appending a pronoun suffix to the word:

1st person singular -ik -IK

1st person plural -(d)ish -(D)Is
2nd person (all) -o’d -O`D
3rd person (all) -ens -EŃ
The above forms indicate actions or agency in the present tense. Other
aspects are indicated using an aspect modifier:
Past daz DAZ
Future/Potential chtenz cEU
Habitual/Continual tsench yEÑ
Completive/Punctual toz TOZ
Imperative zhda xA
Conditional ek EK
Optative (hopeful) pri` oI`
Participle (is *-ing) -enzh -Eu
Perfective (has *-ed) -ej -EJ
The aspect modifiers follow the verb in the following ways:
Did you want coffee?
Kafi kotlio’daqle dazenzh?
KAFI KOtIO`DAqE DAZEU?

Will you want coffee?

Kafi kotlio’daqle chtenzenzh?
KAFI KOtIO`DAqE cEUEu?

Had you danced?

Mitlo’daqle dazej?
MItO`DAqE DAZEJ?

And so forth. The grammar presented in Beginning Zdetl is still valid and
recognizable Zdetl; the forms presented here are supplemental and
considered more “formal” than the simplified versions.
