| Uniqueness | Mikiana is the native language of Mika City. It was spoken by Mikianans many years ago, and today by Shawna Hart and her sister Terri. The grammar rules are similar to English. It is easy to learn because there are no irregular verbs or conjugations or genders or subject-verb agreement or stem changes or other stuff like that. |
