Kandaxangg

Background

Kandaxangg is the language of the Nggang, the human inhabitants of the Nangah-Riki, the Northern Archipelago, who dwell in villages upon the shores while the Nggang-Ara live within the mirror-world of the glaciers. Tangg-Nggang culture is paleolithic and illiterate.

Nouns

Kandaxangg lacks grammatical gender, although some nouns have a natural gender.

Numbers

Kandaxangg numbers are quinary. After the initial binary system (the Nggang have no concept of zero), the system operates with a central focus number flanked by two lesser subtractive numbers and two greater additive numbers. It is rare that a Nggang needs to count discrete objects higher than fifteen (15).
