Editing Roshan Variant English

RoVE is my dialect of English. It is meant to interoperate with English where it can with some differences. This page is meant to be [[wikipedia:Linguistic_description|descriptive]], not prescriptive.

== Literally ==

The word 'literally' may be used to mean 'figuratively' in RoVE. In fact, no RoVE speaker has ever failed to use this word unification.

== Loan Words ==

Loan words from foreign languages are pronounced as they are in that language. Most RoVE speakers would consider you pretentious if you did not do so.

== Pronoun Gender ==

Just like English moved on from most other European languages by removing noun gender, RoVE moves on from English by removing pronoun gender. Current candidate replacement for pronouns is ne/nim. When speaking English, RoVE speakers will usually go along with whatever pronoun people prefer, but strictly RoVE has no gendered pronouns.

== Retard ==

The word "retard" etc. are acceptable to refer to people who are acting stupid. Just like [[wikipedia:idiot |"idiot"]] and other phrases before, it’s completely acceptable to use as a reference to a foolish person. One does not usually refer to actually medically intellectually impaired individuals this way, however.

== Which-Eth ==

In order to identify the index of a specific element in a list, RoVE permits asking the question as [[எத்தனாவது|"which-eth"]]. e.g. "Which-eth President was Donald Trump?" has the answer "The 45th".
