'''Endqwa''' ([[w:endonym|endonym]]: ''ndq̀a''; <small>Endqwa:</small> [[w:IPA chart|[n̩d.qʷa]]) is the experimental version of its sister, [[Endeqwo]], it works a lot like Ithkuil, except with a much larger sound inventory, allowing for even more distinctions, this language makes little attempt at pronouncability, instead favoring efficiency.
'''Endqwo''' ([[w:endonym|endonym]]: ''ëq̀eꞌīꞌc''; <small>Endqwo:</small> [[w:IPA chart|ø.qʷe.ʔiːʔc]]) is the experimental version of its sister, [[Endeqwo]], it works like, and takes large inspiration from, Ithkuil.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
ნდეჸჳო is a compound of {{term|n}} (life) + {{term|-d}} (of our kind (like -ish)) + {{term|q̀o}} (language), so it literally translates as 'The language of life of our kind', thus 'language of our people'
ëq̀eꞌīꞌc is from the root -q̀ꞌꞌ- (Our language), it literally means "A made up system of sounds and rules coming together to form a language"

===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/.
