Naikian

Naikian is the official language of the kingdom of Naiki, a nation located among a tropical archipalego with deep roots in the mythologies of their primordial fire gods and modern moon goddess.

This is a fictional language and and for aesthetic purposes, it has sounds, grammar, and other features of both japanese and hawaiian, giving it the appearance of a fusion of the two, but in actuality, it is its own independent language in a fictional world, but the kingdom would be located somewhere in the Eastern Philippine Sea, northeast of the Philippines and south of Okinawa.

Phonology
Generally speaking, emphasis in words is usually placed on the second to last syllable:

In two syllable words, the emphasis is placed on the first syllable.

In three syllable words, the emphasis is placed on the second syllable.

In four syllable words, the emphasis is placed on the third syllable.

So for example, Naiki is pronounced "Na'iki", with emphasis on the first "i". It is not pronounced like the American Sportswear Brand, Nike. :(

Spelling
Naikian has its own writing system, called Nakami:

When you click on the link, it will show you the PDF file of the writing system. The writing system is an abugida style, and when written, no spaces are placed between words, making Naikian a particle-heavy language. Also, you may notice that the morpheme "Yi" does not exist, and it replaced with "Ji". However, in the "J" row, "Ji" is replaced with "Chi". This is intentional, as the sound is but amplified from the first row. In this sistuation, if you wanted to say "Ja", you have your own character for it, but if you want to say "Cha", you have to write "Chi" plus the character for "a", and this is true for the other vowel sounds as well. Also, if you can't see, "N" is the only one that is not accompanied by a vowel, and is the only consonant that can be placed next to others. For example, you will find words just as "Tanji" and "Hanga", but you will never see words with "Tr", "Kh", or any other consonant pairings. "Ch" is an exception because it accounts for it's own IPA sound.

When it comes to the romanization, pretty much all the ipa sounds are the same as written, except for the following:

Basic Verb Forms
I personally believe that you cannot use language without the amazing world of verbs, so I will explain the conjugation and usage of verbs in Naikian.Verb conjugation is mostly the modification of suffixes, as shown below: Naikian follows an SOV pattern, so verbs will always be placed at the end of the sentence. Naikian does not alter verbs based on POV, so for example, here are the conjugations of basic verbs, with "I" just as an example:

As you can see, the verb "Pawanu" has irregular conjugations. In fact, most verbs that end in "nu" will have this irregular conjugation in the past and future forms, which is the dropping of the "nu" and conjugating with the rest of the stem. Other examples are:

To have - Umunu     I had - Uminai

To play - Achinu       I will play - Achinoi

Negatives
Negatives are also very simple. To make a sentence negative, you simply add the particle Ike to the end of the sentence, after the verb. Also, in many cases, since the verb conjugations end in "i", many people will fuse the two together and write it as one word.

EX:

I don't go - Luki ike. / Lukike.

I didn't eat - Makatinai ike. / Makatinaike.

I won't be - Masuminoi ike. / Masuminoike.

Pronouns/Subjects
Although many will omit pronouns due to the use of context, they still can be used, and are mostly used when necessary or for emphasis. In order to use subjects, you follow it with the subject particle, "Ha". This subject particle is used with all subjects, although it is often pronounced as "ya", and subjects that end with the vowel "a" will casually be said with the subject particle following it.

EX:

She doesn't eat - Somi ha makati ike.

You don't see - Ji ha pawani ike.

I didn't know - Au ha sakinai ike. (Sakanu - To know)

And although the subjects do not have an influence on the conjugation of the verb, some of these pronouns and other subjects cannot be used without certain particles. When speaking in a formal setting, pronouns like Mea and Omai cannot be used without adding these particles: They are put after the verb in sentences like the particle "ike", but they are placed before the negative particle. General speak does not require a particle of formality.

EX:

You eat - Omai ha makati kuji.

I do not know - Mea ha sakani kuji ike.

(Unlike the verbs, the formal particles culturally cannot be combined with the particle "ike", like the verbs in casual speech. This would negative the formality of the sentence, and many would find it disrespectful.
