Anda is a western coastal language isolate.

General Info
The Andarh language (from Ktarh Andarh, from an unknown source) is a language isolate spoken on the northernmost end of the Salty Bay. It shows several conservative western coast areal features that have since been mostly lost among its neighbours. Due to its former spread, traces of it in the form of loanwords or calqued sayings remain in a number of western languages. A majority of its current speakers are also bilingual in Kti.

Phonology
It is characteristic of Anda to almost completely lack labials, and that is a distinguishing feature of most western languages. It is written with an abjad.

All vowels can be either short or long. The ultimate long vowel in a world is stressed, except if the last two vowels are long, in which case the stress shifts to the penultimate. If there are no long vowels, stress is by default penultimate.

Grammar
Anda has a root-consonant system, with roots that range from extremely irregular monoconsonantals to pentaconsonantals. Many conjugational and derivational processes combine vowel alternations with affixation.
