eZamanyk: Language of eKüvaananyom

azJürvaan! These webpages present the grammar of eZamanyk, a constructed language designed to be the lingua franca in so-called "eKüvaananyom" (lit. The Fertile Land from East), in which is a region in my con-world, ezAvlöntyöxöm.

The grammar of which posted here is actually the fifth revision of my conlang—in which I desired the most than it's predecessor. The name of revisions are eMyxMhaan (I), eZaman (II), eZamanyk (III & IV), and eZamanygyok (V) in which I made in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2023 respectively. As you can see, the "eZamanyk" formative is already outdated in the fifth version of this language, yet I like it so much, hence all the version got named as "eZamanyk [roman numeral]".

eZamanyk was derived from "Zam" (lit. Utterance), then "-ny- / -nyad" were added to indicate that the previous subject is being different to itself, word-initial "-k" formative then added to indicate that the subject is on repetitive, lastly, the ART "e-" component were added to word-initials to indicate the subject is not a verb, adjective, or so on, but noun; Thus, that's the rough definition of "Language".

Outline

This language is considerably an artlang since it was made for artistic purpose, e.g. lore in the worldbuilding. The grammatical structure was inspired by some languages of Africa, such as isiXhosa, while the vibe was inspired by Hungarian. The phonology rely so much on certain vowel harmony rule—in which will explained further on next page—so the vowel value should be considered while putting certain grammatical aspect that makes undesired combination. The writing system used was derived from Hanzi-like script, yet unlike Hanzi, it is abugida. It also have some-sort of drunked writing direction, not because it is from top to bottom, but because each glyph was written in И-like direction; Hence, I call this writing system as "Cyrillic I-oriented Abugida Hanzi!", yet the formal name is "eTykhidzs".

Sample text of eZamanyk V, taken from chapter two of eKyväänäkünek (lit. A story of life now and then), a sacred book from my conworld. Yes, this is actually a non-existent literature so don't expect to find this text anywhere else :P
