 '''Ancient Sohcahtoan''' is a [[w:Japonic languages|Japonic]] language that is the precursor of [[Sohcahtoan]]. Nowadays, it is used for solely ceremonial purposes at festivals, and no one actually uses it in everyday speech. Much of Ancient Sohcahtoan has been documented verbally, however some words have been comparatively reconstructed from modern Sohcahtoan. These comparatively reconstructed words are marked with an "'''*'''"(asterisk) at the beginning of a word.

 <!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
 Ancient Sohcahtoan, contrary to its more widely spoken descendant, uses the structure of '''(C)V(C)''' for syllables, which is quite different from modern [[Sohcahtoan]]'s '''(C)V''' syllabic structure.
+Additionally, the [ɾ] sound can only be succeeded by a vowel, hence the word ''kãkã''-'''''rã''''' does not fit in the (C)V(C) structure.
 ====Examples====
-Ancient Sohcahtoan ''*kak'' -> [[Sohcahtoan]] '''kā'', meaning "red".
+Ancient Sohcahtoan ''*kak'' → [[Sohcahtoan]] '''kā'', meaning "red".
-Ancient Sohcahtoan ''ãko'' -> Sohcahtoan ''eōko'',  meaning "blue".
+Ancient Sohcahtoan ''ãkom'' → Sohcahtoan ''eōko'',  meaning "blue".
-Ancient Sohcahtoan ''ūnu'' -> Sohcahtoan ''ānu'', meaning "dog".
+Ancient Sohcahtoan ''ūn'' → Sohcahtoan ''ānu'', meaning "dog".
+[[w:Proto-Japonic|Proto-Japonic]] ''*kəkərə'' → Ancient Sohcahtoan ''kãkãrã'' → Sohcahtoan ''kokora'', meaning "heart".
-[[w:Proto-Japonic|Proto-Japonic]] ''*kəkərə'' -> Ancient Sohcahtoan ''kãkãrã'' -> Sohcahtoan ''kokora'', meaning "heart".
-===Morphophonology===
 ==Morphology==
-<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
+Most words in Ancient Sohcahtoan originate in [[w:Proto-Japonic|Proto-Japonic]]. Indeed, there are many similarities between the two languages; both languages have the [ə] sound, which other languages that derive from Proto-Japonic lost(and indeed, modern [[Sohcahtoan]] also lost the [ə] sound).
-<!-- Here are some example subcategories:
-Nouns
-Adjectives
-Verbs
-Adverbs
-Particles
-Derivational morphology
--->
 ==Syntax==
+Ancient Sohcahtoan and modern [[Sohcahtoan]] both have very similar grammar to [[w:Japanese language|Japanese]].
 ===Constituent order===
+Ancient Sohcahtoan uses an '''S-O-V'''(subject-object-verb) format as in Japanese, however when asking a question the language uses a '''V-O-S'''(verb-object-subject) structure, e.g. ''ūn ã *mārã kã ēdus''(The dog has a ball) and ''Ēdus kã *mārã ūn?''(does the dog have a ball?)
 ===Noun phrase===
-===Verb phrase===
+'''"The dog" - "ūn"'''
-===Sentence phrase===
-===Dependent clauses===
+Ancient Sohcahtoan, like Japanese, doesn't have a word for "the", unless you are also specifying the '''location''' of something, e.g. if you wanted to say "the dog", it would be simply "ūn"(literally "dog"), but if you wanted to say "this dog" or "that cat" it would be "gēn ūn" or "gān nūrã" respectively.
