'''Polyashi Sign Language''', usually called '''LGP''' ([ɛl d͡ʒiː piː] or [ɛl ɡɛː pɛː] in [[wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]) as a shortcut of ''"Lingua gesticulatoria Poliacorum"'' is a [[wikipedia:Sign language|sign languages]] used by deaf communities in southern and southwestern [[Thuadia]], in general areas influenced by the [[Kento-Polyash languages|Kento-Polyashi culture]]. It is a [[wikipedia:Logogram|logographic]] language with signs for most common [[wikipedia:Phoneme|phonemes]] in local languages for possible spelling of words with no set symbol.

It is a [[wikipedia:Logogram|logographic]] language with signs for most common [[wikipedia:Phoneme|phonemes]] in local languages for possible spelling of words with no set symbol.
==History==
The origins of the languages are unclear, but it is expected, that the language developed in perpetua as the diverging [[Kento-Polyash languages|Kento-Polyashi tribes]] tried communicating with neighboring cultures, especially [[Mokhavic languages|Mokhavic]] and [[wikipedia:Germanic languages|Germanic]] in the southern [[Thuadia]] and [[wikipedia:Romance languages|Romance]] on the [[Anteria Triumvirate|Canterian peninsula]].
 
The first recorded mention of the language comes from present-day [[Zhousheng]], where a local [[Bogmia|Proto-Bogmian]] [[wikipedia:Catholic Church|Catholic]] priest during the times of early [[Kaȝin Christianity|Kaȝin reformation]] complained, that a [[Kaȝin Christianity|Kaȝin]] priest used a sign language among local Tghok populace to spread their belief onto the pagan populace rather than using a language (there was a strong belief in the [[wikipedia:Gift of Tongues|Gift of Tongues]] at that time).
 
First codified form can be found in present day [[Kentalis]] from 1650, where a community of [[wikipedia:Rusyns|Ereskans]] codified a standart for communication with a local field hospital, where a lot of people were shellshocked and temporairly lost their hearing because of a loud explosion in their proximity.
 
[[File:Flagofthedeaf.png|thumb|left|{{Hover title|dotted=no|Global Flag for the Deaf Communities on crwflags.com|[https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/int-deaf.html#flag Global Flag for the Deaf Communities]}}]]
The language got international codification only by the mid of 18th century after the establishment of the [[Mustelaria#The Empire of Three Kings|Empire of Three Kings]], where local deaf communities in [[Gadorien|Gadorieni states]], the [[Mustelaria#The Empire of Three Kings|Empire of Three Kings]], western parts of [[Prei Meas]], southern [[Qazhshava]] and [[Speke]] started coordinating in creating a sign lingua france for possible cross-border communication. Although the first codified language was incoherrent to many deaf communities, further changes allowed its development to the extend in which it exists today.
 
On the 1912 congress (shortly after the [[Great War (Anteria)|Great War]]), communities from 16 countries codified the unified language as the official sign language of their respective countries, which started to be educated on deaf schools.
 
First country to officially declare the codified LGP as an official sign language was [[Zhengia]] in 1905.

==Pronouns==
<!--The language still has preserved remnants of [[wikipedia:Dual (grammatical number)|dual]] in the form of strictly [[wikipedia:Clusivity|inclusive]] we (That is "I and you, but not anybody else"), which is considered to be the 5th person plural (4th person is exclusive we)-->
The language uses the 4th person in plural for the [[wikipedia:Clusivity|exclusive]] we.

==Word Order==
The LGP has a heavily controlled [[wikipedia:Word order|word order]], which works as following:
[[wikipedia:Grammatical modifier|MODIFIERS]] — <small>''Further adverbials''</small> — <big>'''[[wikipedia:Subject (grammar)|SUBJECT]]'''</big> — [[wikipedia:Adverbial|ADVERBIALS]] — POSSIBLE NEGATION — <big>'''[[wikipedia:Predicate (grammar)|PREDICATE]]'''</big> — POSSIBLE QUESTION — <small>''Object modifiers''</small> — [[wikipedia:Object (grammar)|OBJECTS]]
For example, the [[wikipedia:Pangram|pangram]] "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" would have the order of "Quick - brown - fox - to jump - lazy - over dog"
If we were to modify the sentence to "The very quick light brown fox doesn't steadily jump over a somewhat lazy dog", we would have to follow the word order to: "Quick - very - brown - light - fox - to jump - steadily - not - lazy - somewhat - over dog"

Polyashi Sign Language, usually called LGP ([ɛl d͡ʒiː piː] or [ɛl ɡɛː pɛː] in IPA, Sign language L.svgSign language G.svg LGP P outline.png in LGPA) as a shortcut of "Lingua gesticulatoria Pœliacorum" (which is the name in Latin), sometimes written in other scripts: ЛГП (Govoric), ⲖⲄⲠ (Protopolyash), ឯល្គេពេ (Preimeai) or BotoEA.pngBotoLS.pngBotoGM.pngBoto&L.pngFile:BotoPE.pngBoto&A.png (Boto) is a sign languages used by deaf communities in southern and southwestern Thuadia, in general areas influenced by the Kento-Polyashi culture. It is a logographic language with signs for most common phonemes in local languages for possible spelling of words with no set symbol.

History

The origins of the languages are unclear, but it is expected, that the language developed in perpetua as the diverging Kento-Polyashi tribes tried communicating with neighboring cultures, especially Mokhavic and Germanic in the southern Thuadia and Romance on the Canterian peninsula.

The first recorded mention of the language comes from present-day Zhousheng, where a local Proto-Bogmian Catholic priest during the times of early Kaȝin reformation complained, that a Kaȝin priest used a sign language among local Tghok populace to spread their belief onto the pagan populace rather than using a language (there was a strong belief in the Gift of Tongues at that time).

First codified form can be found in present day Kentalis from 1650, where a community of Ereskans codified a standart for communication with a local field hospital, where a lot of people were shellshocked and temporairly lost their hearing because of a loud explosion in their proximity.

The language got international codification only by the mid of 18th century after the establishment of the Empire of Three Kings, where local deaf communities in Gadorieni states, the Empire of Three Kings, western parts of Prei Meas, southern Qazhshava and Speke started coordinating in creating a sign lingua france for possible cross-border communication. Although the first codified language was incoherrent to many deaf communities, further changes allowed its development to the extend in which it exists today.

On the 1912 congress (shortly after the Great War), communities from 16 countries codified the unified language as the official sign language of their respective countries, which started to be educated on deaf schools.

First country to officially declare the codified LGP as an official sign language was Zhengia in 1905.

  • Polyashi Phonetic Manual Alphabet

There is a special phonetical sign alphabet, called the Polyashi Phonetic Manual Alphabet, or simply referred to as the LGPA, ([ɛl d͡ʒiː piː ɛj] or [ɛl ɡɛː pɛː ɑː] in IPA, Sign language L.svgSign language G.svg LGP P outline.png Sign language A.svg in LGPA, shortcut for Linguæ gesticulatoriarum Pœliacorum Abecedarium).

The language has special signs for:

  • Consonants: /b/, /p/, /t͡s ~ ʈ͡s/, /t͡ʃ ~ t͡ɕ ~ t͡ʂ/, /d͡z ~ ɖ͡z/, /d͡ʒ ~ d͡ʑ ~ d͡ʐ/, /ʃ ~ ɕ ~ ʂ/, /ʒ ~ ʑ ~ ʐ/, /d ~ ɖ/, /t ~ ʈ/, /tʲ~ c/, /dʲ ~ ɟ/, /h ~ ɦ/, /x ~ χ/, /z ~ zʲ/, /s ~ sʲ/, /ð ~ θ/, /ɡ ~ ɢ/, /k/, /q/, /v ~ β/, /f ~ ɸ/, /r ~ ɾ/, /ʀ ~ ɹ ~ ʁ/, /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, /nʲ ~ ɲ/, /l ~ ɫ ~ ʟ/, /ʎ ~ lʲ ~ ȴ/, /ɰ ~ w/, /j ~ ʝ/
  • Vowels: /a ~ ɑ/, /ɛ ~ e/, /æ ~ ə ~ ɤ/, /ɔ ~ o/, /i ~ ɪ/, /ʊ ~ u ~ ʏ/, /ɨ ~ y/, /ø ~ œ/

Which are used for spelling untraditional words, shortcuts, and names, that do not have a classical symbol, or which are not understood by the other speaker.

Signs for classical phonemes and numbers
All signs can be done with a single hand (in this example right hand, left can be used also)

Word Order

The LGP has a heavily controlled word order, which works as following:

MODIFIERSFurther adverbialsSUBJECTADVERBIALS — POSSIBLE NEGATION — PREDICATE — POSSIBLE QUESTION — Object modifiersOBJECTS

For example, the pangram "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" would have the order of "Quick - brown - fox - to jump - lazy - over dog"

If we were to modify the sentence to "The very quick light brown fox doesn't steadily jump over a somewhat lazy dog", we would have to follow the word order to: "Quick - very - brown - light - fox - to jump - steadily - not - lazy - somewhat - over dog"
