Okaikiar - Conlang Profile   Advanced
Language NameOkaikiar
Language AuthorMark Reed
SiteOkaikiar
Broken LinkNo
Site LanguageEnglish
Language Typefictional language
UniquenessMark Reed writes, "Okaikiar has a relatively small set of phonemes: only fifteen. What is more unusual is that the majority of these phonemes (eight) are vowels, with only seven consonants... Okaikiar has a syllabic writing system - that is, one glyph per syllable [1,152 glyphs] - called Orendiar."
Design PrinciplesMark writes, "Okaikiar is a highly inflected language, and this shows up most dramatically in the nouns. Each noun changes form to show one of two numbers (singular and plural), nine cases, and three modes. There are three different declension patterns, each identified by a set of distinctive endings.... Okaikiar verbs inflect to indicate person, number, tense, mood, and aspect. There is one regular conjugation and a few irregular verbs."
