'''Varrkkún''' (temporary name; natively ''Varrkkún-ŋó'' or ''Bhearcún-ngeo'') is a Sino-Xenic language spoken to the north of the Korean peninsula.


Middle Chinese ''-t'' > ''-r/-rr''
Inspirations: Mandarin, Semitic languages, Old Irish


No initial clusters
==Todo==
Proto *f v -> h?


Sino numbers: ''laŋ, ir, njí, ssám, ssí, ŋŋó, lúk, sir, ffér, kú, djif''
''yēni'' = laurel
==Phonology==
[PAGENAME] has 22 consonants:


''Hánkkuk'' = Korea
/p t k p’ t’ k’ b d g m n/ ''p t k ṗ ṭ ḳ b d g m n''


''Tjúŋkkuk'' = China
/s ʃ ɬ ts’ tʃ’ ʔ h l r w j/ ''s š ś ṣ ṣ̌ ʔ h l r w y''


''Njirffun'' = Japan
Verapamil non-ejective stops ''p t k b d g'' become spirants, written ''φ θ χ β δ γ'' respectively, when after a vowel and not geminated. This process is similar to Hebrew begadkefat, and some dialects even lenite ''m n r'' to /w̃ ð̃ ɾ/ in addition.


''Yurnnam'' = Vietnam
The consonants /ʔ h/ and ejectives can't be geminated.


''Lláŋyé'' = Rangya
==Morphology==
==Sample texts==
ttúŋttaŋ or béŋttaŋ = equal
