History

Phonology

All vowels can be long. The vowels in paratheses are borrowed from other languages and are not native

Ortography

Kõraakii uses the English alphabet, but with a few extra letters added and a few removed.
a ã ä b c d e f g h i j k l m n o õ ő p r s t u ũ ű ů v w (y) z
The double letters in words (e.g tuuka) are used to indicate a long vowel, and a double consonant usually represents a short vowel (e.g hitta). Some of the special letters have their own short or long version.

Long Short Pronunciation
Õ Ő [ø:]; [œ]
Ũ Ű [y:]; [ʏ]

Grammar

Pronouns

English Kõraakii
I Ikka [ɪka]
You Tuuka [tu:ka]
He Hitta [hɪta]
She Siika [si:ka]
It Ässa [ɛsa]
One Mäka [mɛ:ka]
We Vűkka [vʏka]
You (pl.) nůkka [nɔʏka]
They täika [tɛika]

To indicate posession, the suffix -sse is added

English Kõraakii
Mine Ikkasse
Your Tuukasse
His Hittasse
Her Siikasse
Its Ässasse
Ones Mäkasse
Our Vűkkasse
Your (pl.) nůkkasse
Their täikasse

Articles

There are, technically, no articles in Kõraakii. There is an ending for "the" and an ending for "a". If you want to, for example, say "a cool house", then you write "kuusinon kuulikki" (a house cool), or "the cool language" is "taalinũn kuulikki" (the language cool). And these endings are the same for every word. If you want to have a plural "the", then you simply use the plural form of a noun (by adding -neen) and add (n)ũn. An example, "the languages" would be "taalineenũn".

Conjugation

There is no conjungation, that means, if there is a verb, you do not change it for any person. Let's take the word wõri [wø:ri] (to be). If you want to say "You are", you write "Tuuka wõri" [Tu:ka wø:ri] and so on. To indicate past and future, prefixes are added. These are cã- for past and ců- for future. An example: "Ikka cãgjőrikka" [ɪka t͡sæ'gjoerika] = I did.

Negation

To negate a sentence, the prefix nää- is added to the verb. An example: "Ikka nää-wõri" [ɪka nɛ:'wø:ri]= I am not.

Questions

To indicate a question, the word order is changed (like in English) and the suffix -zõ is added onto the verb. An example: Ikka wõri = I am
Wõrizõ ikka? [wø:ri'zø: ɪka] = Am I?
