About Rannyei
another desanlang but with a twist
• SOV, nom-acc, head-final, just the regular Desanian stuff
• three grammatical verb aspectsbecause my Slavic ass has a hard time living without such things apparently
• lots of word-initial consonant clusters, like in
Standard Keranian and 
Saridzani
• however, the twist is: no voiced stops and affricates, only plain vs. aspirated
• uses the Zetaha script – but is rarely written within the conworld, as it is a language of semi-nomads living in the steppe
