'''Iliaqu''' (IPA: /ˌɪljəˈʔuː/), also known as '''Ngolu''' or sometimes '''Qu''' (endonym: ''iliaqu'' IPA: [ìʎàʔú]) is a language isolate spoken throughout the known regions of the space habitat [[Qu]] by the Ngolu people, whose number is estimated to be around 100,000. As the Ngolu are almost entirely monolingual, and while voluntary travel to and from Qu remains impossible, the language is not in any danger of extinction. At this stage, little is known of dialect differences within Qu. There are estimated to be somewhere between 50 and 100 Iliaqu speakers on Earth who have simply mysteriously appeared in various locations. Small communities of Ngolu speakers been brought or have found their way together, the most well-known and well-studied of which is a group of about 15 living in and around Berlin, Germany. | '''Iliaqu''' (IPA: /ˌɪljəˈʔuː/), also known as '''Ngolu''' or sometimes '''Qu''' (endonym: ''iliaqu'' IPA: [ìʎàʔú]) is a language isolate spoken throughout the known regions of the space habitat [[Verse:Qu|Qu]] by the Ngolu people, whose number is estimated to be around 100,000.

Iliaqu is an isolating/fusional, head-initial (right-branching) language with VSO word order and nominative-accusative alignment. Verbs (verbals) make up the only open class of word, with nouns (nominals) constituting a closed class of heavily fusional words that fill the roll of pronouns and articles in other languages, marking grammatical person, number, definiteness and specificity, gender, accessibility, and case. | Iliaqu is an isolating/fusional, head-initial (right-branching) language with VSO word order and nominative-accusative alignment.
