Toli Fakeworld Evolution

This page is a stub

This article is about the changes to the project known as Toli in the real world. For information about the influences that Toli recived or had given, see Toli Influences; For the language used on the server, see Toli.

Toli Fakeworld Evolution is the process of evolution and morphing of the Toli language in the fakeworld. The information is presented in chronological order, to the best of the reaserch ability.

Nomenclature

The titles of particular Toli instances are written in square brackets [ ], and are the page titles that most entries posses. </X/> is the grapheme of the phoneme in the Toli script, so that </m/> refers to the letter "m" in the Toli script.

Prima Black Tablet Era

Time period: 13 IX 2024 - {...}

The Prima Black Tablet Era is describing all written records of the Toli language on an A4 format black sketchbook (baptized to a notebook) bought from Action. Two other Black Tablets exist, but they don't posses any Toli reaserch value as of yet.

[ Toli spah ]

Dated 13 IX 2024 and with a 14 I 2024 annex (Possibly this version was based on a version from that date; Verification needed). A later date, 29 IX 2024, is also present, as an addition to this entry.

Phonology

The Toli spah has 5 vowels (/a i~j ɛ~ə ɔ u~w/; [sic!]) and 12 consonants (/s p t h~x~ɣ l k n m r f ɕ ɬ/). Notably, the schwa is an allophone of /ɛ/, and /ɕ/ and /ɬ/ are present. Information is also present about the gemination of double consonants (as in, double letters), and the semivowels exisitng in VI/U I/UV positons.

Orthography

Vowel letters are identical to their modern equivalents; </s/> still retains its historic "dense snake" shape, </p/> is the letter pi from greek (as oposed to the Modern Toli version that looks like cyrillic П), </t/> lost its lower case form, as well as being still the historic "mirrored t". </m/> is still written as the character for /n/, but with a dot, </r/> is written with the historic "streetlamp" grapheme, and </f/> is most likely addopted from greek alongside </p/>. Two new letters are present, one for /ɕ/ and the other for /ɬ/.

Grammar

Nouns have only one inflection - "as/s suffix" for plural forms. It is assumed that "as" is placed after words ending in consonants, and "s" is placed after vowels. [29 IX 2024] Verbs conjugate by tense - "Past Far/Close: sar/sir before a word; Present: -; Future: me after a word".

Adjectives have a process of graduation [sic!; as in, gradation], and adverbs :3 [sic!].

Other

SOV word order; Free stress.

[ Toli aprum halis ]

Dated 08 XI 2024.

Phonology

The Toli aprum halis has 6 vowels, devided into two groups: open - /a ɛ ɔ/ and closed - /i ʏ u/, alongside longer forms of all these vowels. The number of consonants is at 16 (/s z p t d x l k n m r f ts ɬ j w/).

Phonotactics

The phonotactis of this version of Toli are as follows: (P)(C)V(C)(P) Syllable structure, where P - plosives, C - Other consonants and V - vowels; "Vowel open-close alteration in multiple syllables", that is, a process described as vowel rythm in Modern Toli; Free stress; "the alt. [alteration] can reapeat with same vowels or clc. [undecipherable]".

Orthography

Long vowels are marked with an accute (which is used to mark voicing in Modern Toli); </p/> is transformed into its modern form, and </t/> is in a transitionary form between historic and modern </t/> (being almost identical to latin T; the lowercase is a smaller version of the uppercase). </s/> lost its historic look, alongside </r/>. /d/ and /ɬ/ have unique letters, alongside /z/ (which will later be repurpoused to represent /m/) and </ts/> is written as a </t/> with an accute. Long /u/ and /ɔ/ are written with a hollow circle on top of characters for </u/> and </ɔ/>, and /j/ and /w/ have unique symbols.

Phrases on the left side of the pages

"Rosminasykwen" is written on the side, translating to pine, which is broken up to "rosmina" - needle, spike; Su - orange (colour); Kwen - corniferous tree [logicaly, almost all (see: Ginkgo biloba) corniferous trees have needles, therefore rosmina is not needed]. This is agglutination, and not fusionality, but regardles, an attempt at tones is made: ros-mi-na-sy-kwen has an rising-faling-rising-faling-rising tone patern, indicated by arrows pointing north-east and south-east.

The phrase "Ich bin nicht wie andere mädchen. Ich bin bröt" from german is translated into this version of Toli as "Ik elwfyn [sic!; w > i if a spelling mistake] efel horiỽamiỽ ny esm [sic!]. Ik fly esmi.]

Other

Punctuation is described with a dot character for "fullstop", comma for comma, aphosthrophe for quote, and hyphen for "word-joining". SOV word order, fussional, adjectives and adverbs are placed before nouns and verbs, mention of the vowel rythm, ny as negation of a verb; Mention that only a subject is allowed to tak a defintive article (the article in question is not present anywhere on the page, but is present on the previous page alongside the word for pine - T'Rosminasykwen, therefore the article is t), and that adjectives take the article of their nouns.

Toli script as a cipher

The Toli script has been used at various points in time for encoding information. It spelled phrases in Polish and English, both one word and whole sentences. In recent months, it has been used to cipher informations and notes on the sides of notebook pages that otherwise could've not been written.
