			Quadripalpebral consonants are those produced with two sets of eyelids. The bipalpebral percussive /👀/ is the act of blinking.

			Pedal consonants are those produced with the foot. The pedal percussive [🦶] is the act of smacking a foot against something. Ketchup uses the solarized pedal percussive /🦶<sup>🩴</sup>/, which means the foot must be wearing a shoe.

			=== Exact Pronunciations ===
			These are detailed instructions on how to pronounce each single-articulation phoneme because KWMs has a very atypical phonology.

'''Ketchup''', natively spelled '''ĸ𰻞ɘʜup''', is [[Suqi|Suqi's]] first cursed conlang, and it's comin' to [[Nguhcraft]], baby! Obviously spoken in the [[Madlands]], the wacky language of Ketchup is imbued with chaos due to random, unrelated situational facts being crucial to understanding information; the requirement of intense cognition during phoneme placement; and shifty language when every case becomes taboo.

Ketchup originally comes from an alternate Earth called Ert. It is spoken by a human-adjacent species, still called humans, within the Ketchupian culture.

== Phonology ==
Ketchupian phonology uses a variety of unnaturalistic, unusual, and phonetically complex articulations for no reason.

=== Vowels ===
Ketchup has 8 vowel inventories that can be used in three different ways.

The first usage is determining the grammaticosocial gender of a conversation. Specific combinations of the vowel inventories by the collective speakers in a conversation determine a specific gender for the conversation. The gender formed for the conversation determines how the speakers feel about having the conversation, which can impact their attitude and interactions with the other speakers. This also determines the grammatically correct way to refer to the conversation in the future. If speakers fail to collectively give a conversation one of the genders that exist, the conversation will be impossible to ever refer to again.

The second usage is similar, it determines the grammaticosocial gender of a word. It also involves determining gender by combining multiple vowel inventories, but it only occurs within the syllable(s) of that word and done solely by the speaker. Like the conversation gender, it determines the correct way to refer to that word's referent in the future and failure results in never being able to refer to that referent ever again.

The third usage i dont fucking remember because i have horrible memory
