About Yolkarthian
Şajꜵk! [ˈʂɑjɑ̃k]
Hello!
> This the page of my personal language,
Yolkarthian! It is an isolate spoken in the fictional alternate world of Yolkarthia, a realm full of anthropomorphic fox-looking creatures! Humans not being allowed for various reasons, the Yolkarthian language kept its isolation in its universe for millennia.
> Having 8 vowels and 19 consonants, it also has two unicameral alphabets: one for function words and content word ; as well as another one, only reserved for given names, proper nouns and loanwords from human language (since the Sixth Era - history coming soon! 😉).
> Regarding its grammar, it is an agglutinative language with stress pattern. It has a nominative–accusative alignment and has an SOV (subject-object-verb) order, though the subject could be omitted during casual speech.
