	Kardonian's punctuation is somewhat similar to Latin. Phrases are connected with {{kard\|}}. Sentences end with {{kard\|}}. Notably, though, paragraphs end with a double stop {{kard\|}}. There is also a question mark, used in place of the sentence end punctuation or the first line of the paragraph end punctuation: {{kard\|}}.		Kardonian's punctuation is somewhat similar to Latin. Phrases are connected with {{kard\|}}, which will also be called a comma for clarity. Sentences end with {{kard\|}}. Notably, though, paragraphs end with a double stop {{kard\|}}. There is also a question mark, used in place of the sentence end punctuation or the first line of the paragraph end punctuation: {{kard\|}}.

	Kardonian also has ~~brackets {{kard\|}} which are used to set aside clarifying information, and~~ a "semicomma" {{kard\|}} used in enumerating a list, including one's address as that functionally is a list of places that your home is in. For example, 1 Ironwood Road, [[Kriseon City]], [[New Maeksikeo]], [[Nguhcraft]]<ref>The address of the Kriseon Central Mall.</ref> is written as {{kard\|      }} ''Zuirraegtzya Ngaostae, #1, Griseuenkanh, Aewal Maeksikeo, Ngeoth''. Note that normally, a space is not included after the semicomma, or any punctuation except the four variations of sentence end; they've been added to this list for readability.

Note that normally, a space is not included after the semicomma, or any punctuation except the four variations of sentence end; they've been added to this list for readability.

			Finally, Kardonian has brackets, {{kard\|}}. These are used to set aside clarifying information, much as a pair of commas or dashes would do in typical English text. Notably, it's not used for quotes, instead, dialogue is supposed to be typeset using a double or triple semicomma {{kard\|}} before or after the quote; the exact use varies, and a double or triple semicomma is also used in general for a long pause or as a replacement for the normal comma.
