Boicha

General information
Boëtsha (boicha translated) is a constructed language designed to be free of 'quirks' and to be easy and quick to learn. Boicha is written using a syllabary consisting of 42 characters and is capable of producing 126 different syllables. If Boicha was written with an alphabet, it would have 24 distinct letters. Boicha is designed so that every phoneme has only one phone within it, so that every written word's pronunciation can be easily guessed, even if the word is not known by the speaker.

Syllabary
The mods modify the beginning of the sounds. I.e you get 'tsha' when you put a mod. 1 after 'a'. You get 'dë' when you put a mod. 2 after bë. Take a look at the picture of the syllabary if you don't understand.

Verb Conjugations
Verbs are conjugated by adding affixes to the verb. Suffixes define tense, prefixes define aspect. In Boicha, tense and aspect are two different things. Tense is what it normally is, and aspect works kind of like adverbs. Aspect describes the verb, except it is part of the verb. That's really all there is to say about verbs. You will find some of these affixes in the vocabulary section.

Noun Declensions
Really, the only thing you can do with a noun is tell it if it is plural or not. Please note that a noun is NOT plural if a number is already defined. Instead of 'three pizzas', you would say 'three pizza'. But, if you don't know how many pizzas there are, it is okay to say 'pizzas'. To make a noun plural, add 'tëtshu' to the end of the word.

Word Order
Boicha word order is always S-O-V. No exceptions.

Particles
Particles just do random grammatical stuff. Find them in the vocabulary section.

Adjectives
While adverbs are built-in, adjectives like to stand out, so they have their own group. Just place them before said noun and everyone will know what you're talking about.

Questions
Boicha is loosely based on Japanese, so naturally, the way to form a question is to add 'ca' to the end of the sentence. Boicha has no question mark.

Interjections
Interjections are single words that can mean a whole lot. The famous 'hello' is an interjection. There is no exclamation point in Boicha.

Names
Most names mean nothing in Boicha. And yes, the name 'Boicha' does not have a meaning. It's just a name. A set of sounds used to refer to an object that does not have a specific word.

Prepositions
If you're looking for prepositions, you can find them lumped in the 'adjectives' category. Use them like such.

Articles
Boicha has no articles. What does an article even do, anyway?

Numbers
Treat numbers like nouns.

Nouns + Verbs + Adjectives
If the word's type is unclear, it will be put after the meaning in parenthesis.

This should give you a nice little idea of what written Boicha looks like. If anyone knows how to get these characters typed, that would be great.
