Introduction
The language is inspired by a mixture of the Touhoku dialect of Japan (Zuzuben, nicknamed so due to its merger of high vowels /i/ and /u/ and the result that has on consonant allophones with, in this example, //dZ// and //dz// merging into /z/) and the harmony-neutral notation used in Turkic languages to describe affixes affected by vowel harmony (e.g., -lI would imply -li, -lï, -lu, -lü, and -lA would imply -la, -lä, and so on).
The vocabulary is mostly inspired by the many Wanderwörter of Eurasia and some lexical coincidences, e.g. English goose vs Turkish kuş (cf. Old Turkic kuş, Azerbaijani quş, P.Turkic *Kuĺ).
