User:Zhenkang/Kanglapolish language

Kanglapolish (Kanglapolish: ᥐᥣᥒᥚᥣᥖᥔᥣ Kangpatsa) is a language isolate spoken in Kanglapo, where it is an official language and the language of the Katayans, the country's principal ethnic group. Beyond Kanglapo, the language is a recognised minority language in its neighbouring countries such as the Bai Empire and Huaxia. The common dialect spoken is the Nanson dialect, though other dialects are spoken in other parts of Kanglapo.

While Kanglapolish is a language isolate, the language has seen influences from Baiyu and plenty of Axiatic and Ardentic languages spoken in the Northern Archanta region. Modern Kanglapolish is written in Fahannok, believed to be derived from the Nakah script.

Script

Kanglapolish uses the Fahannok script, derived from the Nakah script. Historically, Bai characters have also been used and adapted especially during periods of Bai tributary rule. Kanglapolish then was written in a mixed Bai-Fanhannok script, where most lexical roots were written in Baiyu and grammatical forms in the Kanglapolish alphabet. Under Surian occupation, an attempt was made to use the Slevic script for the language; due to the difficulty in adapting the script for the language, this policy was abandoned. By the time of its independence, Baiyu characters had been phased out and Kanglapolish only use Fahannok to this day.
