The Orian language takes inspiration from many languages, as well as using new purpose-built rules to separate it from existing languages. The sentence order is mostly fixed, albeit with a few exceptions. __TOC__ == Phonology == :''Main page: [[Phonology]]'' Phonology-wise, the Orian language is mostly consistent, even in case of accents, which usually affect very little of the pronunciation. Most common phonemes are used, with very few affricate and fricative sounds as a way to make it sound smooth and easy to speak. There are some exception to the rules, such as foreign names and words borrowed from other languages. == Writing system == [[File:Orian_example_kiaorile_btt_rtl.png|150px|thumb|right|An example of hand-written Oria'ke. The word is "kiaorile", which means "Orian" or "The Orian Language". Reading order is bottom-to-top, right-to-left, as indicated by the start marker.]] The written Orian language can be written in a [[Wikipedia:Latin alphabet|Latin]] (also called Roman) alphabet, with use of accentuation in some cases to denote different phonemes of a given vowel or syllable, as well as a purpose-built writing system inspired by runic design and Korean [[Wikipedia:Hangul|Hangul]], separated by syllables and partly inspired by the Japanese [[Wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]] and [[Wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]] writing system. These forms of writing, in Orian, are called Roma'ke and Oria'ke respectively. === Roman writing (Roma'ke) === Written Orian in Roma'ke can use most, if not all, of the basic Roman alphabet characters (a to z), as well as accentuation in certain vowels (Γ¨ and Γ²). Reading order is always left-to-right or top-to-bottom with this writing system, so as to not confuse readers. === Orian writing (Oria'ke) === :''Main page: [[Word Formation|Word Formation and Writing]]'' As mentioned earlier, the Orian language has a purpose-built writing system inspired by runic design, as well as Korean Hangul. It's separated by syllables and its concept is inspired by the Japanese hiragana and katakana writing systems. == Syntax and grammar == :''Main pages: [[Grammar]], [[Syntax]] Much like the Japanese language, the Orian language uses a subject-object-verb (SOV) sentence order. As a fixed rule, the penultimate syllable in each word is always emphasized, regardless of syllable count. TODO: excerpt about grammar. == See also == * [[Thesaurus|Lexicon]]
