Native To W.A.T.T.
Speaking Population ~20 circa July 2024
Language Family Anglic

Jyberian, often known as Jyblas, is the official spoken and written language of W.A.T.T. It is derived from standard English, and has other elements from languages such as Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese.

History

Wang began to call Linux "Linuggers" in the beginning of the CPXVI season, and early Jyberian vocabulary grew mainly through Wang and Gu's additions. These included "real", "smartest", "worst", and more. After "gus" entered the language in the latter half of the XVI season, the language continued to spread, and later spread to the mentors and coaches of W.A.T.T.

Jyberian Structure

The Suffix

Jyberian distinguishes itself through its many suffixes. Of these, there are a few things one should know.

  1. -ugg
    1. Etymology: Came from the moniker for the Linux operating system as “Linugg.”
    2. Often added to the end of nouns. Proper conjugation is required.
    3. Starts on the last vowel of the word: For some words, the last vowel is converted to a “u” and the suffix follows. For words that end with “l”, “c”, “ck”, “k”, “b”, “p”, “t”, or “d”, “ugg” is directly added.

Jyberian Vocabulary

Some words are unique to Jyberian, and thus are exempt from most suffixes. Jyberian also introduces a new word form, the fluid word, which can be used in any form or as a generalist abstract form. This will be abbreviated as fl. Here is some Jyberian vocabulary.

Word Order, Grammar, and Tone

  1. Unique Grammar Element: The Standalone Sentence
    1. Unique to Jyberian is the Standalone Sentence, consisting of one word. There are two tones:
      1. Drawl. Indicated by the following notation:
        1. `smartest
        2. Presents the palms towards the target audience, and speaks in a low, extended drawl.
      2. Inflected. Indicated by the following notation:
        1. <smartest!
      3. The speaker must Present the Ugg.
      4. Marked. Indicated by the following notation:
        1. [smartest]
        2. Requires air quotes.
  2. Mid-word Order Switching
    1. In words with two or more syllables, the speaker can take the first syllable and move it to the end of the word. This is done to particularly emphasize a word.
    2. The word “Nacionales” will be used as an example:
      1. In MwOS structure, this word can be said as follows:
        1. Ionales [Nac]
        2. Ionales <Nacugg!
        3. Ionales de Nac
      2. There is no particular standard here whatsoever.
  3. Grammar Structure
    1. Jyberian maintains a fluid grammar structure. Most of the time it is spoken in Chinese or Spanish word order, and adjectives are placed after nouns.

Accompanying Hand Movements

  1. Presenting the Ugg | Notation: ^
    1. Stand at attention. Raise your right index finger, perpendicular to the deck, parallel to your right shoulder. The center of your index finger should be two inches from the temple.
      1. On the command of “Left UGG!” the left hand shall be used.
  2. Drawl Hands | Notation: -
    1. Wave your hands parallel to the deck, palms up, slightly below chest level.

Sentence Structure

Jyberian seeks to minimize more complex sentences, and sentences with conjunctions do not exist. They are split into their counterparts. For example, sentences with “Because A… then B” format are done as follows:

  1. A issue - this is a “contextual” fragment
  2. B

So “Due to contractor problems, the breakfast buffet has been moved downstairs” is the following:

  1. Construciones issue
  2. Buffet de stairs “downugg"

Sample Text

Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Jyberian:

what human "allugg" are born liberaciones and equalidad in dignitugg and rightenen. are endowugg in raison and conscience real and like what would be smartest and most real if they actugg in espriri de brotherhugg.

Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in English:

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Reception

Jyberian has generally been received rather positively by newer speakers of the language, however, post-ugg Jyberian has faced critics, including Narsina.
