Itulankom (Itulankom: [i.tu.laŋ̊ˈkom]) is an indigenous language of [[Shingtsun]], [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]]. Formerly spoken in most of that area, it is by now spoken only in the eastern fringes near [[Woclêw]] and [[Mount Xoran]].
'''Yakkanogi''' is a language spoken by the Yakkanogi people in eastern [[Shingtsun]], more precisely around the [[Svérigé]], [[Nagil]] the [[Yakkanogi Nation]] in northern [[Cistsaia]].


== Phonology ==
== Orthography ==
Itulankom has 17 consonants and 6 vowel qualities, 5 of which may be long or short, as well as 5 diphthongs.
Like [[Kyawcenni]], Yakkanogi uses the [[Tanswaiy]] script. But due to the phonotactics of Yakkanogi being much less restrictive than the one of Kyawcenni, the coda consonant letters are not only used for the coda, but for any consonant not followed by a vowel.

Nasals assimilate to the place of articulation of following consonants (except for /j, w/), and are pronounced voiceless when before voiceless consonants.
The plosives p, t and k can be geminated.
 
/h/ cannot appear after another consonant.


The consonants /t͡ʃ, d͡ʒ, ʃ, j/ are written <ch, j, sh, y>

In addition, the diphthongs /a͡i a͡u e͡a o͡a u͡i/ are present in the language.


Long vowels are written with a circumflex, and the high central vowel is written <ë>
Every vowel can be geminated. This is written by adding a {{script|script=tanswaiy|t=󰮹}} after the vowel in the Tanswaiy script and with an acute accent on the vowel in the Latin alphabet. In syllables that don't have a coda, monophthongs become geminated.

It is mostly head-initial, with prepositions, SVO word order, and adjectives that come after nouns.
==Syntax==
Yakkanogi usually uses SVO word order, but other orders are common due to the case system. Adjectives come before nouns.
