Vealphk language is a Slavic language out of Kento-Polyash language group, which is a minority language spoken in mountainous parts of the Ukadsk Region of Zhousheng and the Dei Neak in Prei Meas

Introduction

The language has a slavic root and grammar, but has developed along with strong preimeai influences, which helped to develop its vocabulary, phonology and multiple grammatical rules. Unlike other Slavic languages, Vealphk has integrated the inflection suffixes of all numbers into a single system and denotes the number by adding a prefix. Vealphk has four grammatical numbers (Singular, Dual, Paucal and Plural), and 8 Indo-European grammatical cases (Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Locative, Instrumentative, Ablative & Vocative).

The change from Ө to Ȣ

Ȣ ȣ ; Ө ө
Ȣ ȣ ; Ө ө

In 1970's, the development of the unified alphabet was created, replacing the Zhoushi letter Ө with a symbol Ȣ, which is a lignature of U and O. This change happened due to the similarity to the symbol Ә.

The alternative proposal to use Borelian orthography and use capital-miniscule pair of &-ε for /ə/ and pair Ө-ө for /u͡o ~ u͡ɔ/.
