	'''Omonkwi''', [o.ˈmoŋ.kʷi], is a naturalistic [[a priori]] [[artistic language\|artlang]] ~~lightly~~ inspired ~~in some~~ Mesoamerican aboriginal languages. It features ergative-absolutive alignment, and tends to form poetic compounds for words in a manner not unlike [[w:kenning\|kennings]]. The construction of these new poetic compounds is often preferred and will even go on to replace a common word for an object. Speakers of Omonkwi are encouraged in this way to come up with new aesthetically pleasing new words and terms.

	Omonkwi started as an early attempt to capture the sounds I liked from mesoamerican indigenous languages via a poorly pronounced (by my high-school teacher) version of deity names in the [[w:Popol Vuh\|Popol Vuh]]. Names such as ''Vucub Caquix, Cabrakán, Zipacná'' and ''Chimalmat''. It can be viewed as a weird kind of homage, trying to create a language out respect for it but not having the materials to know more about it, something common before the rise of the internet as we know it. As such it exhibits an odd mix of different features, many word choices reflect [[w:Kʼicheʼ language\|Quiché Maya]] (although the 'x' is pronounced as in English/Spanish, and 'v' as English), some others are reminiscent of [[w:Yucatec Maya\|Yucatec Maya]] and still parts resemble [[w:Nahuatl\|Nahuatl]], such as the plural formations in ''-tin/-in''.

In particular names taken from Quiché such as Zipacná, Chimalmat and Xibalba are the most inspirational, as well as words like ''pipiltin'', ''teotl'', etc.
