Adzaac (or Adɮāc) is an a priori, possibly non-terrestrial language whose phonology, morphology, grammar, and really whose entire weltanschauung is inextricably tied to sets of three. Their number system is nonal (3×3); there are three vowels; there are three of each type of consonant; there are three noun classes (or “genders,” but that word really isn’t useful here); there are even three finite grammatical moods.

====Liquid Harmony====

*(Still working this out...)
*''(Still working this out...)''
*'''Dissimilation'''
**When two identical liquids occur in the same or adjacent syllables, the right-most liquid changes: l → r → z → l, e.g.:
***bzaukzi → ''bzaukli''
***graar → ''graaz''
***brulaaul → ''brulaaur''
**In words where three liquids appear, all liquids are dissimilated even if a different liquid separates two of the same. This may cause chain shifting in compound words until the order described above can be observed, e.g.:
***bratluir → ''bratluiz''
***raagraz → raagzaz → ''raagzal''
***dravglal → ''dravglar'' (but regularization does not wrap, so here, two /r/s are acceptable.)

===Orthography===
===Orthography===


Adzaac has three distinct orthographies. There is a native writing system (patent pending...); a “presentational” orthography, which uses some diacritics and some non-standard characters to present the language a little more compactly and with a few slightly more intuitive graphemes; and a “utility” orthography, which uses only 21 letters of the standard Latin alphabet. (The letters E, O, W, X, and Y are not used.)
