Intro
Akodjo (Akodjonian: Akojomã Kãli, litterally language of the State of Akodjo, the name of the country pre-colonization and the name of the Ancient Village at where is now located Arténie-Ville) is one of the official languages of 
Artenia island country alongside Franquese and in some parts of the country Ingerish.
It's a conlang, inspired by RW Baoulé language (one of Akan group languages) with many made-up words, or words from Franquese and Ingerish languages.
The local population speaks de facto Akodjo, and 80% speak another language (Franquese or Ingerish).
Akodjonian Alphabet and phonology
Since XXXX, Akodjo language uses Romantian alphabet, including many diacritics which count as proper letters, and few symbols as letters. No digraph, trigraph or quadrigraph for Akodjo: the "one letter, one song" motto is what matters to Artenians.
