(I don't know the IPA yet, but the Faeran phonetics are fairly similar to English.)
This is letter public to the fat resembling, arrogant, rude national embarrassment seen as by his peers as ruler JohnAdams.
I really like Hamilton, I'm currently in the process of translating the entire cut rap in the Adams Administration :)

Re: "An open letter to the fat, arrogant, anti-charismatic national embarrassment known as president John Adams."
Interesting translation challenge What do you think "anticharismatic" means? Urban Dictionary tells me "anticharisma" is when one enjoys the benefits of charisma (attention, popularity …) without actually being charismatic. I decided to translate that in my conlang as "overrated".

One note to the text: you might have seen the monster word urdasǽcadarcenacaprésèdreinènatal, consisting of no less than 34 letters. Let me explain something to that. Long-time lurkers of Yélian might know that adjectives and most adverbs never appear as their independent words, but rather as a word class called "classifiers", bound morphemes to verbs and nouns.
While in theory you can concatenate as many of these classifiers to a noun as you like, usually you limit yourself to one or two for stylistic purposes and resort to subordinate clauses instead. However, if you do it, it's almost always for dramatic purposes, and it's never meant positively.
Therefore, if a Yélian ends up seeing such a monster word in a headline, he immediately knows this is going to be a rant and he is immediately interested!

So it's just a coincidence that the end of the word, -présèdreinènatal, looks like "president"?

Actually, yes! President is presidént in Yélian. The word can be broken down as follows:Khemehekis wrote: ↑07 Sep 2020 09:05So it's just a coincidence that the end of the word, -présèdreinènatal, looks like "president"?

None of the tree words nacaprés "eloquent, articulate", drei "arrogant" or natal "fat" was coined for the challenge, so yes, it was a complete coincidence I haven't even realized.
