The Ífrantan or Ívantian language is pronounced the same as french, but, has some words pronounced like German and some like Italian too. A sort of MIX!

Jö suí plûçe bümo, médanc. - Jö suí plû bémo, grâtsa. - Jü suí müle biëm, Maçù. - I am very well, thanks.




*A small smaple of another form of Ífrantan or Ívantian. Taken from an actual letter to the President of France. This is just a small sample: (*Not the entire lettre, as it was private and did get a very nice response)...

Méjën Président, comt staïva, ménér d'éxélence? Lütfâste que jë çteu écríde âv-vzí. Jë suí zérre grâtíffiêt pùr vùra pfôto ânc vùra chraïffe. Vzí avèç ívé plûçe chérâble, fâ, jö vôlte à tízèné que vzí adëve saïne plûçe straïfë mevèc çírtène pôpeurçe vinz vùra lânt. Ëçe fôt saïne plûçe straïft mevèc dí Musalëmi! Onè dùrès-tûs, u que môçe plûçe slècta üvré orta. Ha cûrâggeu! Tôçé lûsè sâjír alors que vzí avèç pü pôteré. Façeut pùr la France!

You will notice the difference between the two versions; Above and below,


Méjien Prézidenta, commat staïllva, méneer? Longteurp que jö çeu écríde âv-vùzí. Jö suí zérre graatsin pùr vùra pfoto ân vùra zêttre. Vùzí adrâve ívé plûft chérrâble afâ, jö wôle à ùliggte que vùzí adëve saïne plûft straïffë mevec sírténe männte vinz vùra lant.
