About Kunarian
The language of the United Tribes of Kunaria, an agglutinative language, with a particle system, taking some inspiration from Malay in terms of using affixes for everything under the sun. Roots, which can be verbs or nouns, can be modified with various affixes to change their meanings. Word order is Subject-Verb-Obligue-Object. Particles tend to be used for grammatical functions, like Ny, which roughly translates to "of" and other such things.
On the nation side of things, Kunaria is a Mongolian style tribal union, where five tribes hold almost all of the population, originally being classical tribes, who grew through conquest, diplomacy or other means, until they formed the basis of the Kunarian government, the five chiefs having permanent seats on a council, advising a democratically elected Grand Chief.
