'''Séd''' (''sayd''; natively ''Séd-ŋó'' /s(ʲ)eːd(ʲ) ŋ(ʲ)oː/) is a Sino-Xenic language spoken to the north of the Korean peninsula. It's inspired by Irish, Arabic and Farsi.


Stress: first long vowel, if no long vowel then initial
Inspirations: Mandarin, Semitic languages, Old Irish


Middle Chinese ''-t'' > ''-r/-rr''
==Todo==
Proto *f v -> h?


No initial clusters
''yēni'' = laurel
==Phonology==
[PAGENAME] has 22 consonants:


Sino numbers: ''laŋ, ir, njí, ssám, ssí, ŋŋó, lúk, sir, ffér, kú, djif''
/p t k p’ t’ k’ b d g m n/ ''p t k ṗ ṭ ḳ b d g m n''


''Hánkkuk'' = Korea
/s ʃ ɬ ts’ tʃ’ ʔ h l r w j/ ''s š ś ṣ ṣ̌ ʔ h l r w y''


''Tjúŋkkuk'' = China
Verapamil non-ejective stops ''p t k b d g'' become spirants, written ''φ θ χ β δ γ'' respectively, when after a vowel and not geminated. This process is similar to Hebrew begadkefat, and some dialects even lenite ''m n r'' to /w̃ ð̃ ɾ/ in addition.


''Njirffun'' = Japan
The consonants /ʔ h/ and ejectives can't be geminated.


''Yurnnam'' = Vietnam
==Morphology==


''Lláŋyé'' = Rangya
Nouns in [PAGENAME] come in three numbers: singular, dual and plural, and three states: indefinite, definite and construct (marked with suffixes and/or sometimes with vowel changes). Furthermore there are six cases marked with prepositions:

Verbs don't inflect for person or tense, but they have two forms: absolute and conjunct, used as in Old Irish.
 
==Syntax==
 
[PAGENAME] syntax is SVO and head-final like Mandarin.
