Auranaurukshuket

Auranaurukshuket is the language of the Aurukshukan people. It's a conlang I came up with myself and is a bit scary looking at first because it has a tendency to glue words together. The Aurukshukan language (=Auranaurukshukshet) can sound like garbled gibberish because a lot of the words are made up from glued together smaller words. The writing may be similar to the writing in the Tri-River city-states due to cultural exchange but the language mechanics are vastly different.

Grammar

Possession

To show that something belongs to someone or something else, you add a connector sound of possession to the end of the first word and join it to the next. it is always the last syllable in a word or word section.
For example: if I want to say that the apple is yours, because an apple is not considered a living object, the connector sound of possession is sh. Meaning, it would look like this: (apple)sh(you).
However, if I want to say that he is your son, because people are considered living things, the connector sound of possession is n. Meaning, it would look like this: (son)n(you).

Singilar/Plural

To make something plural, you an a sound at the end like an extra s in English.

Tenses

All the verbs are in the same tense. So, there are tense syllables which are added to the very end of a word, after singular/plural but before possession.

Writing System

The writing system is character based (like Chinese, Imagine spelling all these complicated words!), and it is very similar to the one used by the people in East Hu-Balai City States and the Mankans. Each simple word has it's own unique character that is called a Yimumenetci or visual spoken language symbol. Nouns bear similarities to what they represent while verbs and adjectives are more abstract. Yimumenetcia for grammatical or possession syllables and the like are displayed above or below their intended spot. The system works right to left.
