{{Main|単亜語/Anthropology}}
Dan'a'yo returns a shared world of the [[w:East Asian cultural sphere]]. The ancient [[w:Imperial examination]] ({{Ruby|科挙|콰교}}) created a common experience across the region. Everyone read the same [[w:Chinese classics]] and learned the same law codes.  Peoples from various language families were united and could communicate.  With the advent of the internet and Unicode, there is an avenue for peaceful interaction, a reunification of shared cultural and linguistic norms. By taking [[w:Classical Chinese]] and updating it, Dan'a'yo can serve as a bridge for those who have drifted apart.
The language communities that Dan'a'yo seeks to incorporate and unify are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and to a lesser extent, Vietnamese.  Korea and Japan have long formed a sprachbund already, and have many calques and grammatical features in common.  They even share some vocabulary.  There are those who think they are genetically related, but that has yet to be conclusively proven.  There will be some additional similarities that must occur with southern Sino-Tibetan languages, but that is not a design goal, merely a consequence.  There is no proto-language which all our source languages are supposedly descended from.  Our ancient form is Classical Chinese, which is well-known and actually exists in documented form.
=== Phonologies ===
Korean has a tense/lax system which is completely unknown to the others in the region.  Japanese alone contrasts voiced/unvoiced, instead of aspirated/un-aspirated like the rest.  The Chineses have contour tones which are much more complicated than JK pitch accent system.  All these features must be ignored, as they have no common parallels.  Korean has the most robust phonotactics, with CVC syllables allowing many kinds of consonants in the coda.  Mandarin has only /n/ and /ŋ/ there.  Japanese has gemination – which doubles the next voiceless stop, and a homorganic nasal – which can be /m/, /n/, or /ŋ~ɴ/.  In short, a rough compromise is possible, with everyone having to learn ''something'', but nothing like what it would take to learn any other language.


[[File:East_Asian_Cultural_Sphere.png|right|300px]]
Chinese characters have roughly stayed the same for 1,000 years, but some changes have crept in.  The most overreaching is the Simplified characters of mainland China, which are utterly dependent upon Mandarin pronunciation and incompatible with the region as a whole.  Korean uses ancient versions, which are sometimes grossly out of date and far more obtuse than what others write.  A strong, compromise position is to use Japanese Shinjitai, which has mild updates and simplifications to some characters.  A phonetic alphabet is hard to agree upon.  Japanese hiragana and katakana are not capable of indicating precise coda consonants.  Korean Hangul is generally well-suited.


{{PAGENAME}} is a zonal auxlang<ref>http://conlangery.com/2013/01/14/conlangery-80-zonal-auxlangs/</ref> intended to be quickly learnable, readily comprehensible, and mutually communicative between persons of the [[w:East Asian cultural sphere]].  It uses Chinese characters for all of its native writing, with some forms being simplified according to the [[w:Shinjitai]]/新字体 standards of Japan.  [[w:Hangul]] is used for foreign sounds or phonetic spelling.   It is not [[w:Tone (linguistics)|tonal]], mostly [[w:Analytic language|analytic]], [[w:Subject–verb–object|SVO]], [[w:Topic-prominent language|topic-prominent]], uses [[w:Classifier (linguistics)|classifiers]], is [[w:Pro-drop language|pro-drop]], and uses postpositions.
Multilingual dictionary sources – such as Wiktionary – already document much of the vocabulary in common across the Far East Asian region.  Selection of a limited number of Chinese characters must involve a kind of voting process. Japan is well-positioned to begin education of Dan'a'yo at an early age.  Korean politics are unfortunately embroiled over a senseless debate about the national character of learning Chinese characters, a holdover from the war and the product of pride.  Chinese standard education frowns upon teaching grammar, but there is a revival of Classical education. Many teaching resources are still needed.

{{PAGENAME}} has 5 vowels and 12 consonants.  Immediately upon seeking a common ground across East Asia, one encounters a great deal of diversity.  Japanese is definitely the outlier, with the most restrictive sound inventory of all.  Only Japanese does not contrast aspirated and unaspirated stops<ref>http://wals.info/feature/4A#4/28.77/115.93</ref>, instead opting for the more European-sounding voicing contrast<ref>http://wals.info/feature/5A#4/25.40/121.38</ref>.  This distinction is difficult for Japanese-speakers to learn, but if the feature is not contrastive in affricates, it is easier<ref>http://www.conforg.fr/acoustics2008/cdrom/data/fa2005-budapest/paper/505-1.pdf</ref>.  The operating principle of sound selection is, '''no other sounds than Japanese has, but including Japanese allophones'''.  Japanese and Korean speakers will experience the same difficulty with /l/ vs /ɾ/ as they do with Europeans.
{{PAGENAME}} has 5 vowels and 16 consonants.

Vowels are also difficult to achieve consensus on.  Mandarin and Japanese have the most limited systems<ref>http://wals.info/feature/2A#4/24.37/120.06</ref>.  The world's most common and usable system -- with five, cardinal vowels -- was chosen for maximum compatiblity, and some combinations are excluded (see below). Again, much allophony and tolerance will be used and needed between parties.  There are two ways to write /u/, but only one (우) is used in native transcription.  The other (으) is used in transliteration, to break up consonant clusters.  It is whatever epenthetic vowel is common for the speaker.  Japanese will realize these as /ɯᵝ/, Koreans as /ɯ/, Mandarin-speakers as /ɨ/, Cantonese as /ʊ/, and Vietnamese as /ə̆/.
(W and Y are achieved with special glyphs.)  While there is a great deal of consonantal allophony (see the table), every language speaker will experience some sounds as difficult, especially in achieving consistency.

Again, a great deal of tolerance is required when listening to others.  Non-Mandarin speakers will have the hardest time being patient with Chinese vowels, but accents are part of being international!


Because tone is not present in all languages<ref>http://wals.info/feature/13A#4/25.72/126.39</ref> and learning tone is extremely prohibitive, tone is not phonemic in {{PAGENAME}}, and prosody is not specified.  Sentence Final Particles (SFPs) are mandatory to indicate any modality other than simple, declarative sentences.


=== Phonotactics ===
=== Phonotactics ===
Across the region, there is no clear majority position on syllable structure.  WALS misleadingly labels all our languages as "moderately complex"<ref>http://wals.info/feature/12A#4/25.80/112.06</ref>.  Hence, there are many gaps in the phonetic system.  A syllable may start with any sounds except /ŋ/ (Japanese /ɴ/)<ref>http://wals.info/feature/9A#3/25.80/130.61</ref>.  The rime must be a plain vowel, or /ya/.  The coda can be /i/, /u/, an underspecified nasal, or a stop. The coda nasal assimilates before subsequent consonants in order to be homorganic.  A coda stop can do one of three things
Maximally, a Dan'a'yo syllable consists of an ONSET consonant, an ON-GLIDE, a VOWEL, and an OFF-GLIDE or CODA CONSONANT.  The ONSET can be ø or any consonant except ŋ, the ON-GLIDE can be ø, y, or w, the VOWEL must exist, and the CODA CONSONANT can be ø, y, w, b, d, g, m, n, or ng.
# before any non-identical consonant, it is realized as a glottal stop
 
# before an identical stop, it is realized as gemination of that stop
== Syntax ==
# before a syllable with no onset, it moves to be the onset of that syllable.
Like Chinese and Vietnamese (and unlike Japanese and Korean), {{PAGENAME}} is SVO, subject-verb-object. The subject of an intransitive verb and the actor of transitive verb come early in the sentence (before the verb), and the accusative argument must come after.  There are no particles to mark subject or object.


Off-glides will be pronounced as separate syllables by everyone except Chinese and Vietnamese speakers, but again, tolerance is indicated.  Syllables that begin with /w/ must have /a/ as a rime.  Syllables that begin with /y/ may not have /i/ as a rime.  ㅈ-initial syllables cannot take /ja/ as a rime (since many with pronounce /t/ + /j/ that way).  Remember also that some will say /s/+/y/ and /s/+/i/ as /ɕ/.

== Writing ==
===Sentence Final Particles===
{{PAGENAME}} recognizes that while Chinese characters may be common in Japan and China, they are less so in Korea and absent from Vietnamese popular education.  Therefore, the total number of logograms in use in {{PAGENAME}} is kept to under 2000.  Pronunciations are regularly derived from Middle Chinese, and then adapted to a consensus position between Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese.


The form of Chinese characters have changed in the last century, with the development of Simplified Characters in Mainland China.  However, these are not taught in Korea and elsewhere.  Therefore, a medial position has been chosen, that of Japanese [[w:Shinjitai]] (新字体).


Because Chinese characters do not contain enough phonetic information, and because transcribing sounds is also needed, a phonetic alphabet is also needed.  Katakana is useful, but is not helpful in spelling foreign words.  The Latin alphabet is not indigenous enough.  Hangul was chosen because it required the least modification.  Whenever possible, in order to facilitate learning by newcomers, Hangul should be written as Ruby, like this:  {{ruby|東京|동공}}.  Only words which are not {{PAGENAME}} should be written as 韓文 alone: 도오교오 (日本).  Foreign words maybe spelled with Korean characters and combinations not used in {{PAGENAME}}.

|}


The {{PAGENAME}} system of Hangul is slightly different from standard Korean.  Some syllables must be written with one of two diacritical marks.  Syllables may end in an off-glide, which has to be written as as &nbsp; ̩ (\0329) or &nbsp; ̞ (\031E).  When these special characters are unavailable, the simple Korean vowels ㅣ (\3163), ㅜ (\315C) may follow the text.  As a last resort, a Latin capital 'T' and a "pipe" may be used.

Plants, animals and things that may have hanji beyond our corpus or are nation-specific, should be spelled out phonetically, but appended with a "determiner", a hanji that shows what class of being the creature is. This is helpful, as it gives a hint to those unfamiliar with the being.

Demonstratives occur in the 此 ''ji-'', 其 ''ki-'', and 彼 ''pi-'' series. The 此 ''ji-'' (proximal) series refers to things closer to the speaker than the hearer, the 其 ''ki-'' (mesial) series for things closer to the hearer, and the 彼 ''pi-'' (distal) series for things distant to both the speaker and the hearer. With 何 ''ha-'', demonstratives turn into the corresponding interrogative form.

{{PAGENAME}} is has a subject-verb-object (SVO) word order.  The languages of Asian are split SVO/SOV<ref>http://wals.info/feature/81A#4/27.29/130.08</ref> but because SOV requires making the nominative '''''and''''' accusative, SVO was chosen.  Adverbial phrases and oblique arguments must precede the verb<ref>http://wals.info/feature/84A#4/25.80/126.04</ref>.  The language uses postpositions, genitives precede their noun, as do adjectives, numerals, and relative clauses.  {{PAGENAME}} is a topic-prominent language, featuring pro-drop, wh-word in situ, and copula-drop.
== Lexica ==
{{Main|Dan'a'yo/Lexicography}}
Dan'a'yo forcibly limits the number of Chinese characters which can be used to around 2,000.  Each character is like a letter and may or may not be a word on its own.  Characters which are not words (denoted below with an asterisk) have a two-character word which is deemed to be the same as the solo character.  Every character – in theory, all 45,000 Chinese characters which have ever been used – is assigned to one of four categories: Common, Advanced, Name, and Illegal/Alternate. ''Alternates'' are unacceptable versions of legitimate character and may not be used at all.  ''Name'' characters are supposed to be used only in Proper Names.  ''Advanced'' character should only be used after the are introduced and/or defined.  ''Common'' characters are grouped by levels, to help aide learning.

Unlike English, most of the languages of Asia are verb-centric.  This can be discerned by the fact that adjectives are stative verbs, not substantive nouns.  In all the languages of our region, nouns are not marked for number, gender, or case.

==== Pronouns ====
The most polite thing to do is drop the pronoun.  This is humble if you are speak about yourself, and it is middle-ground for speaking to another.  To be polite, use the person's title.  Using their name or "you" is much more intimate.
