Kedusiyn Language

Kedusyn (/kʰɛdʊsɨn/), or Kedusiyn, also known as asiMuqvi (/ə̆sɨmʷɯqᵛɨ/), is an Aruanian language spoken by the Muk'uvi people in the north-eastern lowlands of Muqoñja Island. Its relationship with Neruañ is heavily debated, if there is any relationship it has been obscured by separation, conflict, and long periods of post-divergence contact. Unlike Neruañ, Kedusyn preserves several presumed Proto-Aruanian features, including aspirated stops /pʰ tʰ kʰ/, /ɣ/, and affricates /t͡s d͡z t͡ʃ d͡ʒ/. Ordinary clauses are mainly SVO, with a dedicated S–V–IO–DO pattern, while older head-final structures survive in conservative registers. Nouns mark three genders, and time reference is mostly analytic or contextual rather than fully inflectional. Its conservative block script masks heavy vowel-colour harmony, inherent-vowel pressure, epenthesis, breathy voice, and register-based allophony, giving spoken Kedusyn its unstable, broken cadence.
