Strangely, orthography of Hlou words in Wug Nlab did not change at all, resulting in several inconsistencies in it.

'''Wug Nlab''' is a loglang. In its setting Technoquintlan, it is one of the two main academic languages spoken around fT 2700 (around 2450 in the Gregorian calendar), alongside Akademiesprache.

'''Wug Nlab''' (Wug Nlab: ''Wuk Nlam'', or ''oo Ntsok əə as as p ek p yn øþ as Ljaum Ndom ad ad иd i as ə t ek t yn øþ as i ad ad иd i as ə k ek k yn øþ as и ad ad ad'') is a loglang. In its setting Technoquintlan, it is one of the two main academic languages spoken around fT 2700 (around 2450 in the Gregorian calendar), alongside Akademiesprache.

Some linguists classify this not as a separate language, but as a dialect/sociolect of Schlaub. However, fT 2700 Schlaub is not mutually intelligible with Wug Nlab, causing this classification to fail. In addition, due to the dizzying number of grammatical particles it can be difficult to understand Wug Nlab for a purely Schlaub speaker.

==External history==

To mirror the Hlou-Shum languages being spoofs of Indo-European languages under a somewhat Hmongic framework, Cole decided to spoof his old conlang [[Riemannic]] in this manner. His first idea was a slightly divergent Hlouic language with loans from [[Windermere]], but it was shortly scrapped because he felt it wouldn't work (and also partly due to his inexperience with Windermere).

===Phonotactics===

Wug Nlab has (C)VT phonotactics, with the sole exception of variable names, which are almost always syllabic fricatives/nasals.

==Morphology and grammar==

Wug Nlab, like fT 2400 Schlaub, is essentially SVO, head-final, and analytic.

===Particles===

Arguably, fT 2400 Schlaub can be considered a 'register' of Wug Nlab as almost every word in the former is contained in the latter. This holds with the exception of Wug Nlab's system of grammatical particles.

It can also be considered a kind of relex of Terran mathematical notation as the infix notation works well with the overall-SVO structure of Schlaub. Some Wug Nlab users support the use of VSO word order for the language, however, the SVO order is much more common.
