'''Endqwo''' ([[w:endonym|endonym]]: ''ëq̀e'ī'c''; <small>Endqwo:</small> [[w:IPA chart|[]]) is the experimental version of its sister, [[Endeqwo]], it works like, and takes large inspiration from, Ithkuil, except with a much larger sound inventory, allowing for even more distinctions, this language makes a very small attempt at pronouncability, favoring efficiency.
