XÁT 


ko viki gĕu mŭng Xát. chay xa ko phrá vĕi.

Xat is an a priori conlang with rather simplistic grammar and phonology. It tends to be isolative and accusative with little or no tendency towards inflection whatsoever. Most of the words consist of one syllable, which can have four different structures (CVC "làp" big, CV "ko" that/this, CCVC "próm" five (a loanword from Khmer), CCV "tlá" grass).

Phonology

Xát has 8 basic vowels (a, e, i, o, u, ŭ, ĕ, ă) which can differ in length and tone. There are, however, only three tones (low, mid and high) which are not used very often (unlike in Chinese).
