'''Sohcahtoan'''(外事語, ''sō-kato-gū'' | '''Sohcahtoan'''(外事語, ''sō-kato-gū'' <small>Sohcahtoan:</small> [[IPA for Sohcahtoan|[ˈsoːkatogɯː]]]) is a [[w:Japonic languages|Japonic]] conlang spoken on the fictional island of Sohcahtoa. Its phonology, lexical base and grammar are all firmly Japonic, although more recently loanwords from other languages such as Portuguese(ッアスカ,'' 'asuka''([ˈʔasɯka]) from Portuguese ''açúcar'', meaning "sugar") and modern Japanese(共和国, ''kū-a-gugeō''([ˈkɯːagɯgeoː]) from Japanese 共和国, ''kyōwakoku'', meaning "republic"). | ||

Modern Sohcahtoan uses all three scripts used in the Japanese language today: [[w:Hiragana|Hiragana]], [[w:Katakana|Katakana]] and [[w:Kanji|Kanji]], and each script more of less retain their original purpose as in Japanese. However, some hiragana are pronounced differently than in Japanese, most notably ⟨を⟩ being pronounced [(w)o] in Japanese and [oː] in Sohcahtoan, and ⟨は⟩ being pronounced [ha] or [wa] in Japanese and [aː] in Sohcahtoan. | Modern Sohcahtoan uses all three scripts used in the Japanese language today: [[w:Hiragana|Hiragana]], [[w:Katakana|Katakana]] and [[w:Kanji|Kanji]], and each script more of less retain their original purpose as in Japanese.

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. ''ānu ā bōru ka adosata''(犬はボールかあどさた, The dog has a ball) and ''Adosata ka bōru ānu?''(あどさたかボール犬？, does the dog have a ball?) | 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. ''ānu ā bōru ka adosata''(犬はボールかあどさた, The dog has a ball) and ''Adosata ka bōru ānu?''(あどさたかボール犬？, does the dog have a ball?) | ||

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 "ānu"(犬literally "dog"), but if you wanted to say "this dog" or "that cat" it would be "げん犬"(gen inu) or "がん猫"(gan nero) respectively. | 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 "ānu"(犬literally "dog"), but if you wanted to say "this dog" or "that cat" it would be "げん犬"(gen inu) or "がん猫"(gan nero) respectively. | ||
