| | |
| {{PAGENAME}} is a zonal auxlang<ref>http://conlangery.com/2013/01/14/conlangery-80-zonal-auxlangs/</ref> intended to be quickly learnable, readily comprehensible, and mutually communicative between persons of the [[w:East Asian cultural sphere]]. It uses Chinese characters for much of its writing, with some forms being simplified according to the [[w:Shinjitai]]/新字体 standards of Japan. The Japanese syllabary [[w:Katakana]] is used for all other sounds. It is non-tonal, nearly analytic, SVO, topic-prominent, uses classifiers, is pro-drop, copula-drop, and uses postpositions.
| |
| | |
| == Phonology ==
| |
| {{PAGENAME}} has 5 vowels and 10 consonants.

| While there is a great deal of consonantal allophony (see below), every language speaker will experience some sounds as difficult, especially in achieving consistency.

| Again, a great deal of tolerance is required when listening to others. Non-Mandarin speakers will have the hardest time being patient with Chinese vowels, but accents are part of being international!
| |
| | |
| === Phonotactics ===
| |
| The three allowable syllable structures are V, CV, Cya, and CVn. There are gaps in all these series, and allophony.
