| - | ===== Digraphs, Biliterals, or just " | + | Yivalkes’ tongue has 3 numbers-agency-conflation, 4 cases along with a radical stem, a hard to separate use of verb, noun, and adjective, and a lot of leeway in interpretation that can be clarified with the use of a plethora of postpositions. |
| + | * It usually follows a **S.(C.)O.V.** order. | ||
| + | * **V.(C.)O.** is used when the subject is pronominally included in the verb. | ||
| + | * **S.(C.)V.O.** denotes an indefinite object. | ||
| + | * **S.(C.)O.** is the most common form when dealing with phrases for which the verb is unnecessary and understood. Verbs are few and far between. The C, if present, is the causer that makes the subject do their thing, if there is any. | ||

| Biliterals are remnants of old symbols that were slotted and parsed into a 8 by 8 set of sounds that sort of mirror each other in a 4 by 4 manner. | Biliterals are remnants of old symbols that were slotted and parsed into a 8 by 8 set of sounds that sort of mirror each other in a 4 by 4 manner. | ||
| The biliteral guides the phoneme for sure, but learning the actual way to pronounce novel or obscure words means there is a need for phonetic markers from time to time, especially at school.

| The eight root sounds are always in pair for a total of 64 biliterals. B, D, G, L, W, Y, X, N.

| - | B can be pronounced p, or v, f, or ph. Same goes for D (t, th, s, z), G (K, ɣ, zh, sh), L (ɾ, ɻ), N (m, ŋ). X can be pronounced h, a, a, e, ɛ, e, the Y as ɨ or ʉ or ɪ or i, the W as u, ɔ, o, a, œ...

| + | ==== Phonotactic Rules ==== | ||
| + | * Reduplicated biliterals tend to have the onset as voiceless and ending as voiced with both usually being fricative, like Shazha, or Paba, or Kelger. | ||
| + | * The second written sound in a pair is usually voiced fricative and the first one voiceless stopped like <span class=" | ||
| + | * N gets thrown around and modified to match with its surroundings. | ||
| + | * Intermediary vowels tend to have a timbre with the most open syllable being the second on three- and two- syllable words. | ||
| + | * L sounds like L at the beginning of words, before a hard consonant, flapped r between vowels, and retroflex r at the end unless after a flapped r where it is L again. | ||
| + | * Words ending in <span class=" | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Logograms: Making it mean something, or sound like something else? ===== | ||
| + | Biliterals are essentially a historical rebus that is still somewhat relevant for many of the root words, but some words are just alien to the language, are homophones, or simply shorthanded. In simple, the same 64 roots can be used to indicate meaning detached from pronunciation rather than pronunciation alone, and the opposite is just as true. | ||
