2. In 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.

3. Searching 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 somet

Searching 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.

4. He 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 t

He 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.

5. About Miioka

6. Maaks 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.

8. As 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.

9. How 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.

10. Pronouns 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 pr

It 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.

Translation 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.

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.
