Equestricorn

Unicorns are magical creatures and can understand all languages. They can also be understood in what appears to the receiver as their own language. But there are an exception to this rule, and that is Equestricorn. The language seems to be immune to unicorn magic and must be learned.
All Unicorns know some words and phrases in Equestricorn, and some words has even trickled down to humans and other sapient spicies. For example the word bimbo. However the unicorns that knows more than that are definitely fewer, and those who can talk it fluently are fewer still.

Writing System

The writing system is phonemic system like the alphabet called hoofes, which means that there are sets of symbols that represent consonants and vowels. It was based around markings made on the ground in lose soil (therefore its name), and has evolved from there. Hoofes are the source to the human Greek Linear A writing system, that contemporary human scientist yet has to decipher. Thus is it also the great great great great ancestor to the Latin alphabet that most western cultures uses some variation of.
Today hoofes are viewed as old fashion, unwieldy and cumbersome. Instead a Latin alphabet of the same model as in English are being used in most situation and contexts.

Tenses

Tense is a grammatical category that expresses time references. The different tenses are usually shown by the use of specific forms of the verbs, mainly in their conjugation patterns.
The main tenses in Equestricorn is past, present and future. There are also a ultima tens, which is a extreme form of future tense, but it is seldom used, (it is believed to be an archaic remnant from the time of the Gods).
The conjugation of verbs in past, present, future and ultima in Equestricorn follows the patterna of -ed, -et, -etat and if the verbs ends with an e, the sound changes from an /e/ to an /ɪə/ sound (as in near).

	Past	Present	Future	Ultima
English	have jumped	jump, jumping,	will jump	-
Equestricorn	almed	alma, alming	almet	almetat
English	have fought	fight, fighting	will fight	-
Equestricorn	globbed	globb, globbing	globbet	globbetat

The above mentioned tenses express time in relation to the moment of speaking. In some contexts, there isa need to relate to a point int the past or future that is established in the discourse (ie a moment being spoken about). These tenses are called for relative, since they are put in relation to what's is talked about (as opposed to absolute tense, ie past, present, future, ultima). These are pluperfect (or past perfect) which is a finished action in past sense, for example

• Sassy Tiny Prancer had written a book
• Fancy Dilly Dally had been writing to Anders Sparrman

And a future in the past tense that often are used in narrations of past events, like

• I told you he was going to come to the party - (a plan)
• I knew Lacy Dildo Dream would make dinner - (a voluntary action)
• Lacy Dildo Dream said Cenneth Centaur was going to bring his sister with him - (a plan)
• I had a feeling that the vacation was going to be a disaster - (a prediction)
• He promised he would send a letter from Booty Crack - (a promise)
