Taznak

Taznak is a language spoken by approximately 237,000 people in the nation of Tazna, located off the east US coast. Its location is shown to the right. It was discovered and inhabited by the English in 1647, and its close proximity to the United States has given it a lot of influence by the English language. Example: Good - Gŭtas. It has a similar phonetic inventory as well, making it relatively easy for English speakers to learn. The Taznak alphabet has 27 letters. Most represent one sound, but "ae" and "ie" represent the diphthongs eɪ and aɪ respectively, and "ii" represents the vowel i. The consonant and vowel inventory can be found below.
