Kitonese

Kitonese (Kithanika) is the co-official language of Kiton alongside French. It is a Kithano-japonic language and is native to the northeast of the country (Alawa, the Saihan states and the northern Hwakahan states).

Syntax
Despite its status as a Kithano-Japonic langauge, Kitonese can be described as having a VSO word order due to influence from Austronesian languages such as Old Malay and Javanese. Though most sentences follow this word order, it only applies to simple clauses. In proto-Kithano-Japonic, verbs always came at the end of a sentence. Hence, verbs tend to the end of a clause when it is not a main clause.
 * Nya Kekârejei ekula ni. Kakarejei goes to school.
 * BUT: Kekârejei ekula ni nyâi-hwa, sa wâ nidra. When Kakarejei goes to school, I'll sleep.

Verbs
The verb forms the core of the sentence. Kitonese has strict and complex word order, with verbs being either at the beginning or the end of a clause.

Conjugation
The Kitonese verb undergoes conjugation, allowing it to conjoin with various affixes by adding stem vowels. The various stems are the: ''Hiema Ajira nga. ''Ajira reads. ककारजय पयक अरुक। ''Kekarajaya payaka aruka. ''Kekarajaya walks quickly.
 * Conclusive. Occurs only at the beginning of a sentence or clause.
 * Adverbial. The adverb form for adjectives and connects the verb to other verbs, including the past affixes.

अहार इतरि नि। ''Ahara itari ni. ''The food has reached. (ni is the conclusive of the perfect affix -n-) फुकि को। Phuki ko. A large tree. (Phuko is name)
 * Adjectival. Standard form to modify nouns for adjectives and the participle form of verbs. An adjective may rid itself of its -si/ki affix and connect directly to a noun, which would be used for nouns of a more specific nature.

(Inscription on the Gates of the Four Gospels on the border of Kota Shri Nakanejra, the capital.) कु ने नगर सुकसाम​। Ku Ne Negara Sukasama. May this please the city. (Kitonese national motto)
