In-Universe History
Akanā was developped after the introduction of the printing press and is currently the official language of Agmār. Agmārian is still used for poetry, fancy writting, and all academic texts, but there's an effort to translate old texts from Agmārian to Akanā for accessibility.
Structure
Strict VSO order; OSV on questions.
Syllabary of 78 symbols; 54 of them are pronounced differently depending on if it's at the beginning or the end of a word. Two additional symbols exist: one to mark a silent vowel; the other to mark the consonant is pronounced the other way than what the rules would dictate (words using both of these are old words, sometimes archaic, or loan words).
3 genders (or maybe 5, i'm still thinking it through)
Modifier before noun; structure is reversed for questions. Agreement only marked on modifier.
Formal conjugation agree with the gender of the object.
Casual doesn't bother with verb agreement.
