'''Quququqquq''' (/ku:ku:'kʊkkʊk/, natively ''quququqquq qaqqaäa'' /kùkùkùkːùk kàkːàáà/ [kʰùvūvūkūɰˀ kʰàkǣǽǣ]) is the most phonologically minimalistic [[Kawenic languages|Kawenic]] language, with just one consonant /k/, two vowels /u a/, and two tones (high, Romanized ''ä ü'' and low, Romanized ''a u'').

Quququqquq grammar is mainly inspired by Finnic languages. Like Estonian, Quququqquq is a partially fusionalized agglutinative language with a large noun case system.

~~Quququqquq is the lingua franca of modern Angai.~~

== Todo ==

auääuauüuauüq - a word like õueaiaäär

~~== The Quququqquq-speaking world ==~~

~~=== Quqqaäa ===~~

The official name of the country is ''Quqqaäau Uqaqaüquaqquq'' (Republic of the Commons). It is an eco-fascist country controlling most of the natively Kawenic-speaking area. It is allied with Furnifoo against Āínkiīaánịạkàì theocracies.

~~=== Aqqaüqüququq (Philopolis) ===~~

~~Aqqaüqüququq, also called Philopolis in English, is a liberal democracy unlike Quqqaäa.~~

It plays a pivotal role in Timeline 3: to the rest of Angai, Aqqaüqüququq is regarded as very ethically progressive and a role model for society, especially in the way they're able to stand up to Quqqaäa (and threats of annexation)

~~=== Alliance ===~~

~~=== Differences between Quqqaäan, Philopolitan, and Alliance Quququqquq ===~~

Modern-day spoken Quqqaän Quququqquq can totally ditch the second person singular and use the plural for the new singular, and the plural with -uqqaqq for the actual plural (c.f. "y'all" and "all y'all")

so, i'm thinking that Quqqaäans may not even get into poetry that doesn't serve the ecofascist purpose so the 2nd person singular form is completely obsolete, and the -uqqaqq suffix carries political connotations of communality

but the people of Aqqaüqüququq really love their art, and they kept the T-V distinction in their dialect, so there are even spontaneous movements to generalize the old 2nd person singular to all formality levels like the Quakers

~~the association of the 2nd person singular with art rather than disrespect makes people want to prop it up~~

~~The pragmatics of the plural verb suffix ''-uqqaqq'' in Philopolitan Quququqquq are:~~

* inclusive when used with 1st person

* plural (rather than respectful) when used with 2nd person

* distanced/obviative/"the crowd" when used with 3rd person

~~the Alliance dialect of Quququqquq is closer to Quqqaäan Quququqquq but without some of the Quqqaäan pragmatics (-uqqaqq follows the Philopolitan standard)~~
