Endeqwo (endonym: ndeqʷo; Endeqwo: [n̩.de.qʷo) is an isolate language, it's mainly inspired by Caucasian languages like Ubykh and Georgian, as well as many other Polysynthetic languages, and despite its appearance of efficiency, Ithkuil had no influence in its creation, though there is a separate version that was, ndq̀o

Etymology

ნდეჸჳო is a compound of (n; life) + -დე (-de; of our kind (like -ish)) + ჸჳო (qʷo; language), so it literally translates as 'The language of life of our kind', thus 'language of our people'

Labialization always acts as a /w/ like sound, even in the labial series, where /pʷ/ is not protruded.

Consonants distinguish length, as can be seen in the 2nd person object marker, "-qqe" (/qːe/)

There are a few consonants that can syllabic, /n/, /nʷ/, /ŋ/, /ŋʷ/, /l/, /r/, and most ejectives.
