'''Rencadian''' (เร็งกาทฃวงฃ์ว ''Rengkaatkhwong'', เท็งขะมิฬก ''Rengkaatmilok'') or '''Raxic''' (รกข- ''Rokkha-'' from Thens. ''Raxa-'') is an a priori conlang inspired by Thai, spoken in the Irquhadoonian country of Rokkhachhaam. It is unrelated to its main superstrate languages, [[Thensarian]] and [[Ramanujan]], which it borrows from with phonotactic restrictions similar to Indic vocabulary in Thai. These strata in the Rencadian lexicon are  natively termed เฒงษรพกษภ ''Thengsornphoksop'' and งอมอณุยณพกษภ ''Ngormornuyonphoksop'' 'Thensarian/Ramanujan borrowings' respectively, or informally เฒงษรมิฬก ''Thengsornmilok'' and งอมอณุยณมิฬก ''Ngormornuyonmilok'' 'Thensarian/Ramanujan words'.

== Phonology ==
=== Consonants ===
{{angbr|''k kh ng ch chh d t th n b p ph m y r l w s h''}} /k k{{h}} {{ng}} t{{ś}} t{{ś}}{{h}} d t t{{h}} m b p p{{h}} m j r l w s h/
 
=== Vowels ===
{{angbr|a aa/ar i ee u oo ue ûe e ê ae ai o ô ao or}}
=== Intonation ===
Unlike Thai, Rencadian is not tonal; however, it uses some intonational patterns inspired by Thai, like pronouncing pausal long vowels as [VːV]:
* ''Bôthadee!'' /boːtʰadiː/ [boːtʰɐdíːì] 'Listen!'
* ''Rengkaatkhwong ongmaikhwongkhwamorn.'' /tʰeŋkʰakʰwoŋ oŋmajkʰwoŋkʰwamɔːn/ [tʰeŋkʰɐkʰwoŋ ʔoŋmajkʰwoŋkʰwɐmɔ́ːɔ̀n] 'Rencadian is my mother tongue.'
 
== Orthography ==
Rencadian uses the Thai script. Native /d t t{{asp}} n l s/ use the dental series, while Thensarian and Ramanujan loanwords use the retroflex series for these sounds.
 
== Morphology ==
=== Nouns ===
Plural ''-orn'', from ''*-ar'':
* ''milok'' 'word, speech' (from Thensarian ''milacus'') → ''milakorn''
* ''khwong'' 'language' (from Thensarian ''quhanquhus'') → ''khwongkhworn''
* ''phon'' 'human' (from older native Rencadian ''*vala'') → ''phalorn''
Pluralization is optional and is not used with numbers or quantifiers, but is near-obligatory with animates.
 
The copula is suffixed ''-am-'' or postposed ''am-'':
''Yong Rokkhaphalamorn. / Yong Rokkhaphon amorn'' = 1SG Raxan_person(-)COP-PRES = 'I am a Raxan.'
 
== Verbs ==
*The present tense is marked with ''-orn''.
*The imperative is ''-dee'' or dialectally ''-thee''.
 
Example: ''Ongmilok bôthadee!'' 'Listen to what I say!'
== Pronouns ==
(independent/possessive):
* 1sg ''yong, ong-''
* 1sg+2sg ''phiboon, boon-''
* 2sg ''phee/phanee, phi-''
* 3sg ''lai, ra-''
* Plural is marked with a(n)- affixed to the singular: anong/anong-, aphee/aphi-, alai/ara-
