UniquenessThis is the Babel text for a language I've spent a while developing. The language is called jiVoqu (that's j i V o q u , pronounced "jee-voe-koo"), and it employs grammar coding for everything except pronouns, proper nouns, the negator, and other little particles and articles. To prevent confusion if you're trying to figure it out word for word, jiVoqu uses postpositions, not prepositions. Pronounciation notes, jiVoqu->English: uu->w, c->sh, x->ch, zj->zh (French j), q->k or c or q, s->s or c ng->song sound also, all vowels are pronounced separately, therefore aa->ah-ah uu->w is distinguished from uu->oo-oo by a mark, therefore uù or úu or u'u -->oo-oo th->t-- (the 'h' after t denotes a lengthening of the t sound, almost like pronouncing 'h' right after 't').
