[[File:iaskyon. | [[File:iaskyon 2.0.png|thumb|256px|'Iaskyon' in Iaswü handwriting.]]'''Iaskyon''' (IPA: /ˈjas.kjɔn/) is an Yosic language native to an island nation Iaskáca. It is notable for its handling of ergativity, heavy verb conjugation, as well as synthetic noun compounding. Iaskyon can be written in two left-to-right scripts called [[Conscript:Iaswü|Iaswü]] (IPA: /ˈjas.βy/, literally Ias writing) and [[Conscript:Xogwü|Xogwü]] (IPA: /ˈɣɔg.βy/, literally rock writing). | ||
