Ahoreni

Classification and Dialects
The Qi Yu language is a somewhat agglutinative language which was once found from Manchuria to Shandong. Two thousand years of occupation by Chinese, Manchu, Korean, and Mongolian rulers has vastly changed even the simplest morphemes in this language. There is only one dialect of this language left, the Kisha dialect.

Vowels
* This language also exhibits the "empty rime", as in Mandarin Chinese. This results in syllabic retroflex consonants, as well as in alveolar fricatives and affricates.

Phonotactics
This language has a similar syllable structure to Japanese. That is, the syllables are usually (c)v. There is one major exception to this rule, however. Some nasal consonants could be treated as syllabic, similarly to some southern Chinese languages; the nasal may represent a single syllable. This occurs predominantly in Chinese and Mongolian loanwords, however, and rarely occurs in native words.

Ex: Aga (observe) + na (First person singular) + ng (thoughtfully) + xi (present tense) +ya (continuous) = Aga/na/ng/xi/ya = Aganangxiya

In the word Aganangxiya, the morpheme ng is a syllabic consonant.

Writing System
This language usually uses a modified variation of the Mongol alphabet.

Grammar
The language is VSO.
