A "dual-accent" English giblang with Wyacker loans; an isolate spoken in Angai Madagascar
<ow> in initial syllable position always means MOUTH; GOAT is oa or -ow in native words
Some old place names can be Wyacker-derived (e.g. Wạnchụrch /ˈwɔnt͡ʃət͡ʃ/ ~ wangkirkkai, Nónganẹy /nɑŋgəniː/ ~ eNa:ngoäinnai)
Grammar
Ideophones
Accent alternation functions like Korean ideophone vowel harmony
Some ideophones are Wyacker-xenic (e.g. ạrrạnkạ 'flagrantly' from Wyacker arangka), some native (spáng and spạng 'revealing a secret')
Don't overuse -le and -er! This is not Germanic
