About Mugui Mugui should resemble a mix between Japanese and bantu languages. Like most of my conlangs, it tends to be agglutinative in some of its features, especially verbs, but with a different flavour. Possession or similar relationship is expressed by uniting words: mugutaka "the tongue of the people", minám "my name" Tiyumugu "Diyan (inhabitant of D'j)". Sometimes in spoken Mugui syllables are fused, creating new unique words, as in mfuku "friend of mine" from mipuku, but this fusion is really rare and only occures with possessive pronouns.
Conjunction and disjunction between single words is expressed by attaching -ʔe and -ʔo to the closing noun: tubu katuʔo "dog or cat".
Adjectives always end in -i.
Complements are introduced by a clitic particle. A few basic verbs like to be, to go etc. don't need these prepositions anyway.
Word order is SOV
Verbs are prefixed with mood and tense and suffixed with the aspect.
