Yolon (natively iolon [ˈjoʟ̠ɤn]) is an intergalactic language used by many civilizations in the Local Group. It was created in a planet called Yanizz ([ʝanyʑ]), approximately in the year 3700 B.C., as an easy-to-learn language, so that civilizations could communicate easily, on the same language.
Yolon is used by 143 civilizations in the Andromeda galaxy, 73 civilizations in the Milky Way, 52 civilizations in the Triangulum galaxy, 12 civilizations in the LMC, and 5 civilizations in the SMC.
Some of its vocabulary was inspired by Lapizyol, which was, and is, the most used language in Yanizz.
Writing
Yolon follows SOV (Subject Object Verb). In formal Yolon, uppercase letters are used to denote proper nouns or words that don't exist in the language (actually they're just normal letters with a bar over it, and I'm too lazy to put macrons over them)
Putting a dot over a consonant voices or unvoices them.
Rules
"C" cannot be at the start of a word. It also can't be used twice in a row.
Syllables
The syllable structure is C(K)(Y)V(Y)(D)(N).
K is either Z, V, R or N; Y is either I or U (making a [j] or [ɰ̠ʷ] respectively); D is any consonant except R, and N is an additional n at the end of a syllable, making the code nasalized, or making it a nasal stop, in the case of plosives.
It is needed to use either C, V or both.
Proper nouns don't need to follow these rules.
Stress
The stress of a word is in the longest syllable of it's root syllable/word.
Pronunciation
Yolon does not have very complex pronunciation. The pronunciation is very different among dialects. The language is usually written, not pronounced, so it remains consistent among civilizations because the writing is very consistent.

Dialects
Yolon split into dialects early into it's history. Dialects can mostly be understood by other dialects, and usually change how words work.
Iulun: Old Yolon, used by 6 civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy. It's unevolving nature was intentional.
Yolon-Kez: Yolon-Kezz makes it so that word grouping always has a dash. It is used by 62% of civilizations in the Milky Way, and also includes the letter "y".
- Yolono(-Kezo): Yolon, but coda consonants are not allowed. Only 8 civilizations use this.
Dictionary
Math
Yolon uses base 12. Numbers are mostly written in their short form (like 12 intead of twelve). However, numbers still have a pronunciation.

0 = Pui, 1 = Pi, 2 = Pzi, 3 = Pza, 4 = Pa, 5 = Pzu, 6 = Pu, 7 = Pze, 8 = Pe, 9 = Po, 10/A = Pə, 11/B = Pzo
Pzal = equation
Pipzal = addition, Vupipzal = subtraction
Pzipzal = multiplication, Vupzipzal = division
