Endqwo (endonym: eq́dïc; Endqwo: [eqʼ.dyc) 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.

Etymology

eq́dïc is from the root -q́d- (Our language), it literally means "An intentionally made up system of sounds and rules that form a language"

Grammar

Credit to John Quijada and Ithkuil for much of what is here, I based a very large amount of grammar off that, and for many things I took Itgkuil documentation, simplified down the wording for my sake, and used that, so lots of credit to his work.

Morphology

This language has a complex and expansive grammar system, just as Ithkuil, this system is arguably more complex because it has all the distinctions of Ithkuil, plus some.
