Stage 1 Proto-Kagan==

General information
It is with out a doubt the Kagan is inherantly related to Japanese. This proto language examplifies the first round of changes that help turn Kagan into what it is. There is clearly a Sanskrit influence, too. The language must have been spoken before the early Kagans had settled in Bali.

Phonology
Like Japanese imitating Sanskrit, the language contains a large abundance of phonemes quite alien to Japanese, but retains many important features. The destinction between asperated & unasperated, just as it is in Sanskrit, is important.

Consonants

Vowels
Long vowels are prounced twice as long as short vowels are.
