Overview
Gerudo
Info
Gerudo is an ancient language spoken by the Gerudo race and is known for its heavy use of the 'v' sound that is not found in the Hylian language.
Phonology
"Sav'otta" (sah-voh-tah): Good morning
"Sav'aaq" (sah-vahck): Good day/afternoon
"Sav'saaba" (sahv-sah-bah): Good evening
"Sav'orr" (sah-vore): Good night
"Vasaaq": (vah-sahck): Hello
"Sav'orq" (sah-vorck): Good bye
"Sarqso" (sark-soh): Thank you
"Vaba" (vah-bah): Grandmother (note: "vaba" is the informal version of "vababa")
"Baba" (bah-bah): Mother
"Vehvi" (veh-vee): Daughter
"Vai" (vaye): Woman
"Voe" (voh): Man
"Vatiti" (vah-tee-tee): King
"Vure" (voo-er): Bird
"Aaq" (ahck): Day
"Vatnu" (vaht-noo): Festival/Celebration
"Basso" (bah-soh): Warrior
"Sa'oten" (sah-oh-ten): an exclamation of surprise, e.g. "Good heavens!"
Grammar
The apostrophe in between words indicate a brief pause in the word (like a space), or the word "and". E.g. "Sav'saaba" means "good evening", whereas "orr'aaq" means "night and day"
"Sav" is usually added onto everyday greetings, but can be also used to greet people during holidays. For example, "Sav'naboor'aaq" literally means "Good Nabooru Day", but more generally translates to "Merry Nabooru Day".
Entities
The usage of only two single numbers (1 and 5) suggests that the Gerudo numerical system is a simplified variation of Roman numerals. It is possible that counting would consist of the two available numbers being used consecutively to reach the desired number. For example, 6 would be written "5 1", ten would be written "5 5" and fifty five would thus be written with eleven consecutive 5's.
Vi (vee): one (1)
Vi'vi (vee-vee): two (2); literally 'one and one'

Vi'l (vee-eel): ten (10)
Ve'l (veh-eel): fifty (50)
Vi'li (vee-lee): one-hundred (100)
