About
Batbia is a new conlang developed by various BotBrs. In the future, hopefully all BotBrs will know this language and communicate in it. Right now, it is in beginning development stages.
It's a phonetic, simple, conlang based on English, Finnish, and Japanese structures made to evolve quickly and to be as simple as possible.
Batbia is pronounced phonetically if you understand Latin consonants and vowels.
Letters
There are 21 letters in the Batbian alphabet. 5 are vowels and 16 are consonants.
Vowels:
Each vowel possesses the beat and rhythm of the word. For example "aa" is prounounced "ah-ah" fluidly and quickly with two beats/syllables.

some large numbers would be a bit unwieldy in normal so a form of e notation can be used:
for example:
1000 (1e3)
aneri
1300000 (1.3e6)
andotrieset
50000000 (5e7)
foevir
When deciding between using e notation and normal notation for large numbers, pick the form that has less characters.
Pronouns
ek - first person
ul - second person
da - third person
To indicate multiple (plural), add num before the word (for example, "we" is num ek). If you know specifically how many people there are, it is best to just specify how many ("fo ek" = 5 of us).
