Слайд 2In the year of 2500, when humans will easily travel from
Earth to other planets of the universe, Maaks will no longer be able to bear the daily routine of huge skyscrapers, flying cars and multifunctional robots in the environment he will be living in and so he will decide that it is the right time to make a change in his life. One day, after much hard work, he will build up his own rocket and wave goodbye to the old planet Earth. As he will fly around the Milky Way for 5 years, at first, Maaks will not find any planet to land on as they will be all inhabited.
Слайд 3Searching through hundreds of other galaxies, Maaks will feel like he
is losing hope and think that maybe he should return to planet Earth. But that is when his eyes will be drawn to a far, far away glitter shining remotely. He will feel as there is something very special about that tiny, sparkling dot so he will dive in towards it with great determination. While approaching it, the dot will get bigger and shinier. And it is not a galaxy that he will see, it will be a lonely, far away planet glowing in the darkness and emptiness of the universe. He will be mesmerized by its multicolored shining structure, and by his landing, Maaks will feel the happiest.
Слайд 4He will discover a planet of tiny, colorful, welcoming people whose
number will be very small – around 50. The only way of communicating between each other is through signs and facial expressions. They will greet him merrily and think that he was sent to rule their world. And so it will be. Knowing that other people could discover this wonderful planet and invade it with their dirt, together with his peers, Maaks will build up a doorway that would not let others come in easily. He will teach them how to talk by inventing a totally new language – Miioka. He will name the planet “Mika”, and its residents – the Miiokas. Maaks will also strive to keep it secret, both the planet and the language.
Слайд 6Maaks will reverse the whole English alphabet and add some other
details to the letters. It might seem similar to the English one, but its phonetics differs.
Слайд 8As the sounds of letters are based on vocals, Maaks will
tend to make the words short, but it will not be the case. He will introduce most of the words spoken on a daily basis, but afterwards, the language will develop without his acknowledgment.
Слайд 9How are the words created?
Basically, it’s simple. He will take the
first 4-5 letters of the words derived from English and spell them by their sounds.
Слайд 10Pronouns
Pronouns are mostly exceptions.
I – ( ii)
We – (duvei)
You – ( iaiuou) You – ( iaiuouei)
He – ( haei) They – (tiaha)
She (sha)
But because he wants it to be secret, he will “codify” the alphabet. What you’ve seen above is the pronunciation, but the actual pronouns look like this:
Слайд 12The planet will have no buildings or cars, just pure nature.
That is why Maaks will introduce the most common words used in the environment that surrounds them. Here are some of them:
River – raiivieira Rain - raaiiini
Ocean – uoukaieiaini Water - duvaitiaei
Sun – suani Land - laeinid
Star – stiaaira Stone – stiauoumiei
Mountain – miuouuanitia Giraffe - giiiraaifi
Elephant – eilaeipiha Bird – baiirad
By adding “z” to any noun, we form the plural.
Raiivieiraz (rivers)
Stiauoumieiz (stones)
Eilaeipihaz (elephants)
Слайд 14Maaks will teach the Miiokas how to count because of the
love they share with the many wonderful living beings around them. Also, they would count the stars at night.
Numerals:
0 – zieirauou
1 – uouniei
2 – tiaduvuou
3 – tiaharaei
4 – fiuouuara For the rest of numerals above 9, you just have to add
5 – fiiiviei the other numbers, for example:
6 – siigze 10 = uouniei + zieirauou
7 – seivieni 11 = uouniei + uouniei
8 – eiiigihatia 23 = tiaduvuou + tiaharaei
9 – niiiniei 55 = fiiiviei + fiiiviei
100 – hauounidra 89 = eiiigihatia + niiiniei
1000 – tiahauouuas 1050 = tiahauouuas + fiiiviei + zieirauou
1 000000 - miiilalaiiuouni
Слайд 15Verbs:
To go – giuou
The present form stays as the infinitive.
To come – kaiuoumiei To form the verbs in the past,
To feel – fieieila you add “ki”, for example:
To give – giiiviei “Ii eiaitiaki” – I ate
To build – bauaiilad For future tense, you add “ba”:
To eat – eiaitia ex. “Haei kaiuoumieiba” – He will come
To drink – draiinikia
Слайд 16Possessive pronouns:
Mine – miiiniei
Yours – iaiuouuara
His – haiis
Hers – haeiras
Ours –
uouuaras
Theirs –tiahaeiiira
Слайд 17The most common words/phrases used among the Miiokas:
Hello – haeilalauou
How are
you? – Hauouduv airaei iaiuou?
I love you – Ii lauouviei iaiuou
I am hungry – Ii aimi hauanigira
I see the moon – Ii seiei tiahaei miuouuouni
He is sleeping – Haei iis slaeieipiiinigi
Wow, comet! – Duvoduv, kaiuoumieitia!
Слайд 18It is not difficult to translate from English into Miioka. The
basic rule is to use the first 4-5 letters of the English word and transform them into sounds. This can be possible only by having the special sound alphabet.
Maaks will teach Miiokas the pronunciation and they will learn it by heart. The alphabet will be hidden deep under land, so that if anybody tried to invade their planet, they would never understand their language.
Слайд 19Translation from English into Miioka:
NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers
have discovered the first Earth-size planet orbiting a star in the "habitable zone" -- the range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on the surface of an orbiting planet. The discovery of Kepler-186f confirms that planets the size of Earth exist in the habitable zone of stars other than our sun.

Слайд 20 Translation of the poem “Stars Are Beautiful”, that will
soon become Miiokas’ planet anthem, which they will be singing to their significant other every night.
Stars Are Beautiful
Stars are beautiful
They represent all the lives lost
Stars are incredible
They come with no cost.
You are just like a star
You took all my heart
You are just like
A priceless piece of art.
You aren’t like a star
You are one
You shine just
As bright as the sun.

Слайд 22After 2 years of spending his life on planet Miioka, Maaks
will fall in love with the beautiful Airata and they both will become “Miuoumi” and “Daid” of wonderful, tiny Miiokas. Together, they will improve their language and make it accessible only for their little, secret world.
