Sohcahtoan(外事語, sō-kato-gū pronounced [ˈsoːkatogɯː]) is a Japonic conlang spoken on the fictional island of Sohcahtoa. Its phonology, lexical base and grammar are all firmly Japonic, although more recently loanwords from other languages such as Portuguese(ッアスカ, 'asuka([ˈʔasɯka]) from Portuguese açucar, meaning "sugar") and modern Japanese(共和国, kū-a-gugeō([ˈkɯːagɯgeoː]) from Japanese 共和国, kyōwakoku, meaning "republic").
Phonology
Orthography
Modern Sohcahtoan uses all three scripts used in the Japanese language today: Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji, and each script more of less retain their original purpose as in Japanese. However, some hiragana are pronounced differently than in Japanese, most notably <を> being pronounced [(w)o] in Japanese and [oː] in Sohcahtoan, and <は> being pronounced [ha] or [wa] in Japanese and [aː] in Sohcahtoan.
Additionally, while Japanese kanji have two ways to read a kanji(onyomi and kunyomi), Sohcahtoan kanji have only one way to read a kanji.
Ancient Sohcahtoan uses the Latin script, as some sounds like [ə] can not be represented using solely Hiragana or Katakana. The Ancient Sohcahtoan alphabet is heavily based on the Portuguese alphabet, such as how <ã> is used to represent [ə].
