Wangachon

Wangachon is a simple constructed language spoken by the Wangachonese.

Vowels
(Each vowel also has a long vowel version.)

Style
When you write with the Wangachon Alphabet, the consonant shapes are affected by the shape of the vowel. There is an example of the sounds: Deh, Du, Da, Di, and Do on the right side of the screen to show you examples of this rule being used.

Sister Letters
On the right side of your screen, you can see the alphabet of Wangachon. What's interesting about this alphabet, that each letter has another 'sister letter.' This is because each phonetic sound in the alphabet (not including the Glottal Plosive/Stop) has a similar sound to it.

Vowels
In contrast to the consonants, the vowels look much smaller. This is because vowels are attached below/above the consonants when writing. In the right side of the screen, you can see the word PuGaTsuDé. As you can see, the vowels are drawn below the consonants as it is in the language.

Long Vowels
Differently from short vowels, long vowels go above the consonant instead of below. An example of this is with a picture on the right side of the screen. The word example is Winaang (Uinaang), meaning Intelligible. (Root word: Wina (to Hear) + adj. marker -ang = Winaang.)
