==Introduction==
==Todo==
 
add some Korean phonological influences? like final devoicing
Rõktiap -> dative: Rõktiabel
fewer CVC syllables / more CVCV... words
maybe even stop+nasal -> nasal+nasal (could be in the Zienruol dialect?)

Rõktiap uses a syllabic alphabet called ''Rõktiapma Rõethar'' [r̝ɤktʰi̯ɒpmɒ r̝ɤɜthɒr̝̥ ~ ʒɤktʰi̯ɒpmɒ ʒɤɜthɒʃː], which resembles Hangul. The same script is used for a modern descendant called Zienruol, but not for Hʻõelmriusi, another modern descendant, which uses the Rietz alphabet.

<!-- 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. -->
===Nouns===
Nouns inflect for case and number. There are two numbers, the singular, which is unmarked, and the plural, which uses the suffix -''i'' for nouns ending in ''s'' and -''s'' otherwise. For example:
* ''qiim'' (flower), ''qiims'' (flowers)
* ''ᴋol'' (language), ''ᴋols'' (languages)
* ''ʜeik'' (shark), ''ʜeiks'' (sharks)
* ''lias'' (mound), ''liasi'' (mounds)
* ''ttões'' (beaver), ''ttõesi'' (beavers)
There are 18 cases in Rõktiap:

==Verbs==
 
[To be revised]
 
There are only two verbs in Rõktiap: ''qua'' (to do) and ''tre'' (to be). These are extremely irregular, and ''tre'' is defective in that it doesn't have progressive forms:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! !! Simple !! Progressive !! Perfect
|-
| Past || ''ȝuum'' || ''ȝuon'' || ''ȝiums drun''
|-
| Present || '''qua''' || ''quan'' || ''ȝiums tre''
|-
| Future || ''uᴋor'' || ''uᴋõn'' || ''ȝiums nrup''
|}
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! !! Simple !! Perfect
|-
| Past || ''drun'' || ''triis drun''
|-
| Present || '''tre''' || ''triis tre''
|-
| Future || ''nrup'' || ''triis nrup''
|}

Rõktiap is almost completely head-final, except for complementizer phrases, such as those using the word ''lo'' (whether, interrogative marker) and ''met'' (if), which are head-initial.
