Djezzi Phonemes
The Djezzi speak Common as most others in Ludia do, but they developed a series of words and combinations of phonemes for naming their towns and their children. Three of these phonemes is the standard, though some people may stick with two to indicate a sense of humbleness or more if they're feeling extravagant. The order the words are in is important, with the one most desired being put first, followed by the second and third. Sometimes, they are meant to modify the original word, but other times the idea is that you want each of the traits individually. The distinction is in the order, though it is open to some level of interpretation. A word that describes something will always come before the thing it is describing.
