This article contains IPA phonetic symbols. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Unicode characters. For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA.

Endqwo (endonym: ndq̀o; Endqwo: [n̩d.qʷo) 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.

Etymology

ნდეჸჳო is a compound of n (life) + -d (of our kind (like -ish)) + q̀o (language), so it literally translates as 'The language of life of our kind', thus 'language of our people'

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/.
