Samanasphuore (native name 𑀲𑁆𑀲𑀫𑀡𑀲𑁆𑀲 𑀪𑀸𑀲𑀸 ßamaṇaßa bhäsä /samanaspʰuorɛ/) is an Indic language spoken all over User:IlL/Lõis's Southeast Asia. It has many unusual features for a modern Indic language:

• preaspirated stops and prestopped nasals, but no retroflex consonants;
• a completely SVO word order;
• a highly conservative nominal morphology and verbal morphology, preserving 4 out of the 8 cases of Sanskrit as well as active and middle paradigms for verbs

It's typically written in either Brāhmī or its own native alphabet, which is a descendant of the Mon script.
