Phnom Language

The Phnom speak a language completely unique in style and there are no similar languages anywhere else in Prei Meas or the surrounding nations. The Phnom language also uses a unique writing system where words are chain written top to bottom and sentences written on lines left to right.

Grammer

Basic structure

Here is an example sentence to give you an idea of the Phnom grammar transliterated into latin characters. O̅nák̈ ko̅nă:l poo̅ äẗko̅taẽẽr poo̅ kka o̅laf klye:. This may seem daunting at first but the meaning of this sentence is simply "Men ride red horses." The reason it is so long comes from a few reasons. The first is you will notice the word "poo̅" being used twice. Phnom does not have plural forms for nouns and instead will insert a word "poo̅" meaning plural after nouns. If someone is just refering to the state of something being in plural without making a noun plural they would say "poo̅ra" the second reason for the length is the word "kka". This is a marker meaning that the noun preceding it will be described. Think of "kka" like the English word "is" except "kka" is used whenever a noun will be described by an adjective. the third and final reason for the length is the word "klye:" at the end. "Klye:" is similar to the English word "a" and can be also used for nouns in plural but not for subjects in plural but it is optional for the prior. Broken down the sentence would read as "Ride(v)|man(s)|[plural]|horse(n)|[plural]|[kka]|red(adj)|[klye:]|." As you can see the plural marker supersedes "kka" for being after a noun.
