Sengolu Language

Sengolu (/se.ŋo.ɮɯ/) is a small analytic language designed around a compact phonemic inventory and a light, particle-driven grammatical profile, with a predominantly simple syllable rhythm favouring open forms and limited nasal codas. Its consonant inventory is /p t k ɮ m n ŋ s g h l j w/, and its vowel system is /i e o ɯ/; lexical tone is contrastive and commonly represented with numeric tone marking in citation forms and IPA tone letters in phonetic transcription. Morphosyntactically, Sengolu is largely isolating, with weak inflectional morphology, basic SVO order, post-nominal adjectives, prepositions, and a lexicon that relies heavily on short roots, compounding, and particles rather than case marking or dense verbal agreement.
