Kyawcenni is an analytic language spoken in Kyaw Cen and written in the Mon-Burmese and Latin scripts. Its early speakers originated from Marcyland.

Due to Kyaw Cen's continued centralization and standardization efforts, the language is very prone to change and likely to undergo a reform in the near future. Because of that, and also Marcy's lack of Wiki coding knowledge, there is no standardized phonology table shown here.

However, there are some key characteristics of Kyawcenni, such as the strict phonotactics and the use of letters with circumflex, and E with ogonek (for /ɚ/) in its official romanization.

Phonology and Orthography

I'm really too lazy to write the phonology tables here right now.

Stress

Stress in Kyawcenni mostly depends on the vowel. If a word includes one <ai> or <au>, the stress is on that vowel. If the word instead has one <ê> or <ô>, the stress is on that vowel. If the word doesn’t have any of the previously mentioned properties, stress is on the first syllable.

Phonotactics

Excluding vowels, a syllable can start with the following consonants:
p b t d m n s ts z l ʃ tʃ ʒ ç cç k χ ɡ j w ɻ
Excluding vowels, a syllable can end in the following consonants:
m n s ts z ʃ tʃ ʒ ç χ ŋ j w ɻ
If none of them appear directly before or after each other, following consonants can be used between consonant and vowel:
j w ɻ
A syllable can also begin with vowels, but it cannot begin with:
y i ɛː ɔː
/cç/ and /ç/ in coda position are only possible before /eː/, /y/ and /i/ or a consonant.
/cçj-/ or /çj-/ in one syllable are not allowed before /eː/, /y/ or /i/
/cç/ and /ç/ are not allowed before /w, ɻ/ in the same syllable
/ɻ/ or /ɚ/ next to /l/ is not possible
A postalveolar consonant before /j, w, ɻ/ is not possible
/ɻ/ and /ɚ/ cannot appear in the same syllable

Syntax

The Syntax of Kyawcenni follows OaVOdS word order, with Oa being the Accusative and Od the Dative object. Adjective and adposition appear after the noun they modify.

Morphology

Kyawcenni words can be combined without a space, with the first word often being shortened to only one syllable:
Jongyitęnar = Ætérnalism
(First syllable of jonggyaw = religion + nominative of yitęnar = Ætérnal)

Nouns

Kyawcenni has four cases in total: Nominative Genitive-Dative Accusative Vocative

Nominative

The Nominative case doesn’t have any ending, not sure what else to say here:
cun, bwis, bim, awč, kyaw, nawiy, gešeng

Genitive-Dative: The Genitive-Dative case is formed by adding a -ne suffix:
cunne, bwisne, bimne, awčne, kyawne, nawiyne
Except for words ending in -ng, which changes to -nne
gešenne
and for words ending in -na, which is shortened to -n-
Botswaunne

Accusative

The Accusative case is formed by adding a -ni suffix:
cunni, bwisni, bimni, awčni
Except for words ending in -ng, after which -gi is added:
gešenggi
And words ending in -w or -y, after which just -i is added:
kyawi, nawiyi
and for words ending in -na, which is shortened to -n-
Botswaunni

Vocative

The Vocative case is formed by adding a -ne suffix:
cunne, bwisne, bimne, awčne
Except for words ending in -ng, after which -ge is added:
gešengge
And words ending in -w or -y, after which just -e is added:
kyawe, nawiye
and for words ending in -na, which is shortened to -n-
Botswaunne

Verbs

There are three suffixes that can be added to verbs in the following order:

Assumption: -si benzang → benzangsi x ≈ I assume x calculates
Subjunctive: -ga benzang → benzangga x ≈ x would calculate
Past: -dah benzang → benzangdah x ≈ x calculated

Those can also be combined:
benzang → benzangsigadah ≈ I assume x would have calculated

Transitive verbs usually end in -em, -en or -me. Those suffixes are omitted in the conjugated form.

Exceptions: There are some exceptions for verbs that don’t just add suffixes, but change their stem:
bęč (walk) → bih in Past tense, not bęčdah
