+Inspirations: Mandarin, Semitic languages, Old Irish
+==Todo==
+Proto *f v -> h?
+''yēni'' = laurel
+==Phonology==
+[PAGENAME] has 22 consonants:
+/p t k p’ t’ k’ b d g m n/ ''p t k ṗ ṭ ḳ b d g m n''
+/s ʃ ɬ ts’ tʃ’ ʔ h l r w j/ ''s š ś ṣ ṣ̌ ʔ h l r w y''
+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.
+The consonants /ʔ h/ and ejectives can't be geminated.
+==Morphology==
+Nouns in [PAGENAME] come in three numbers: singular, dual and plural, and three states: indefinite, definite and construct (marked with suffixes and/or sometimes with vowel changes). Furthermore there are six cases marked with prepositions:
+*nominative
+*accusative
+*lative
+*ablative
+*locative
+*instrumental/comitative
+===Verbs===
+Verbs don't inflect for person or tense, but they have two forms: absolute and conjunct, used as in Old Irish.
+==Syntax==
+[PAGENAME] syntax is SVO and head-final like Mandarin.
