<!-- Design goals, inspiration, ideas, who speaks it?, when was it created?, where does it come from?, any peculiarities? -->
This page should be an IN-UNIVERSE description of the language. It is also NOT the primary documentation site of your language. This is not your descriptive grammar, this is a wikipedia style page for (for the most part) non-linguists, which means I don't want pages of paradigm tables or hour long write ups of the intricacies of relativisation on demoted inverted objects in locational clauses.


<!-- Example categories/headings:
Start writing your page here, with a general introduction and basic facts about the language (when and where its spoken, by who and how many, a brief history)

==Classification==
<!-- what language family is the language in? why is it classified in that family? -->


<!-- ***Phonology*** -->
== History ==
<!-- What sounds does your language use? -->
<!-- Here are some example sub-/other categories:


Vowel inventory
<!-- What is the history of the language?
Consonant inventory
Where did it come from, who spoke it originally, how has it spread, what contact has it had with other languages ? -->
Syllable structure
Stress
Intonation
