Uknavian

General Information
Uknavian is an Eastern Romance language spoken primarily in the Republic of Uknavia and also widely spoken in most of Uknavia's ex-colonies in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, from when Uknavia was a colonial empire.

Uknavian has a rule where the words "he", "she", "you", "me", "him", and "her" are always pronounced with the specific word it's used with, and always with a dash separating the 2 words in writing/typing. In Uknavian literature, the 6 words listed above are called "Goze words". For example, "love you" in Uknavian would be "brä-va" and "for me" would be "ítor-ne". However, when two Goze words are used with only one other word in a sentence, the other word will connect with the first Goze word. For example, "You or me?" would be "Orčo-va ne?"

Goze Words
- Va (You); Ne (Me); Hí (He); Ya (She); Hío (Him); Iya (Her)
