They are words that replace nouns in general. They can work as pronouns or adjectives according to their function in the sentence. The pronominal functions end in e. Similar to what happens in Hindustani, these words follow a pattern of formation and may be called "derivatives". 

​

The radicals, with the exception of un and in, ar of Latin origins, (Italian, uno and French "un") and Yoruba (ènìyàn), the rest is of a priori creation, but when joining with its Derivative prefixes they may sound a posteriori based on natural language words. There are seven:

​

• Un, “object” or “thing”; 

• In, “person”;

• Ën, “place”;

• Ët, “number” ou “quantity”;

• Üt, “time”;

• Yum, “mode”; e 

• Im, “reason”, "motif".  

​

There are seven possibilities to be added in front of them. Among those, four consonantal initials and other 3 stems. The consonants, alone, have no meaning, but form new stems when coupled to the base stems. They are:

​

• H: means proximity. Inspired in the initial sound of the word هنا / hunā /, "here" from the Arabic, and hier from German and "here" from English; 

• K, for making question words. It is inspired in interrogative words from several Indo-European languages such as Latin, Hindustani and Persian as well as in Japanese and Thai question words;

• N, used to make negative meaning. It is inspired by the negative words in several Indo-European languages; and

• S: means distance. Inspired by the first consonant of the Japanese word そこ /soko/, “there”. 

 

Radicals, however, have meanings of their own, but they work alike. They are:

• Al, means "everything" or "all", inspired in Germanic languages;

• Ok, meaning "some" or "something". Inspired in Latin languages; and 

• Öt, means "auterity". Inspired in Indo-European languages, mainly Germanic and Latin. 

​

By putting the initials to the base stems we have the following types of replacing words of easy predictive meanings:

​

• Of auterity: they begin with öt, meaning "other",  forming the sequence: ötune, "other thing", ötine "other one (person)", ötëne, "other place" ötëte, "other amount", ötüte, "another moment", ötyume," another form"or "other way " and ötime," another reason ".

• Of distance: they begin with s, meaning "distance", forming the sequence: sune, "that (thing)", sine "that person", sëne, "that place" (in order to mean "there" it is necessary to use locative case: sënen), sëte, "That quantity", süte, "that moment", syume, "that form" (to make the expression "that way" the use locative case: syumen) and sime, "that reason."

• Proximity: begins with h, meaning "proximity", forming the sequence: hune, "this (thing)", hine "this person", hëne, "this place" (in order to mean "here" it is necessary to use locative case: hënen), hëte , "This amount", hüte, "this moment" (for meaning "now" use the locative case: hüten), hyume, "this form", "this way" and hime, "this reason"(for the word" because " use dative: himev).

• Some: "something", okine "someone", okëne, "some place" okëte, "some amount", oküte, "some time" "or" sometimes ", okyume, "somehow" and okime,"some reason".

• Interrogatives: they begin with k, meaning "distance", forming the sequence: kune, "what", kine "who", këne, "what place" (in order to mean "where", use the locative: kënen), këte, "how much", küte," when ", kyume,"what way" and kime," which motive "(necessary to apply the dative case kimev in order to mean "why" ).

• Negatives: they begin with n, meaning "negation" or "absence", forming the sequence: nune, "nothing", nine "nobody", nëne, "no place" nëte, "no" or "no amount", nüte, "Never", nyume, "no form" and nime, "no reason".

• Totalizing: they begin with al, "all", forming the sequence: alune, "all", aline "everybody", alëne, "all places", alëte, "all amount", alüte, "always "alyume," every form "or" every way "and alime," every motive "or" every reason. "

 

Regarding the grammatical functionality it is important to highlight:

​

1. When replacing words of object un precede nouns, they receive the adjective ending ü. Kune becomes kunü and means "which".

2. Time replacing words are usually used in conjunction with grammatical cases. The form küte, nüte etc, is only used in nominal phrases.

3. Mode substituents are not normally used with the ending and, but become adjectives with the ending ü - kyumü, nyumü etc; and

4. Reason replacing words are used in the dative case.

 

Personal Pronouns

​

Allamej personal pronouns contain the stem in which means "person". The first persons have the initial m, the second have t and the third have l based on the pronouns from most Indo-European languages as well as in other languages. For comparison purposes, the first, second and third persons in the singular are presented in different languages as follow:

​

Allamej: mine, tine, line

​

1º) Indo-European Languages 

·       German: ich, du, er ou sie

·       Hindi: मैं /maĩ/, तू /tu/, यह /je/   

·       Irish: mé, tú, sé

·       Italian: io, tu, lui and lei

·       Persian (Farsi):  من /man /, تو /to /, او /u /

·       Romenian: eu, tu, el e ea

·       Russian: я /ja/, ты /ty/, он /on/ e она /ona/

​

2º) Non Indo-European Languages

·      Finnish: minä, sinä, hän

·      Yoruba: mó, o, ó

·      Swahili: mimi, wewe, yeye

​

There is an important presence of the letter m in the first persons in the languages presented. This presence tends to increase if the person is analyzed in other cases such the accusative or oblique, for example, in German, mich, and Italian me. The same incidence occurs with t for the second persons. L tends to occur more in Latin languages, especially in cases other than the nominative.

​

As for the the plural of personal pronouns the rule is the same of the nouns, it is formed by adding y after e. The collective stem mün from Chinese pronounciation mēn / mən /, may also be added instead. In Chinese the plural version of nouns and personal pronouns is constructed in the same way. For example, the plural of 我 wǒ, "I" is 我们 wǒmen. In Allamej we have:

​

• Mine: I

• Tine: you

• Line: he or she

• Miney, minmün: we

• Tiney, tinmün: you (plural)

• Liney, linmün: they
