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.

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.

Syllable structure

The maximum is (CC)V(CC), this only occurs in compound words like 'tʷʼen' (/tʷʼen/; good life), consonants can only cluster as 'stop-fric' or 'fric-stop' and voicedness must match, so a valid cluster would be /zd/ of /ft/, but /zt/ or /qd/ are invalid.

The only other allowed clusters are (S for stop) /Sr/, /Sl/, and /Sj/, /Sw/ is not possible because this would turn to /Sʷ/.
