Introduction
Introduction
The language spoken in Aisiakrhi, my personal conlang. The language has been shaped a lot by tsacek (hasaqai taboo), adjective ordering in compounds, the creation of words and roots, as well as removal of influences. As a result, this language has vastly changed over time.
Iikrhian has gone through stages of natural and artificial change as the language has been used by me for a long time.
One sound change that has happened as a result of the merger of finals into velar consonants is the process of paragoge. Words that would produce homonyms had an -a suffixed to them. After p or m, it would become -u (Later -ii).
Languages are often highly influenced by its speakers and Iikrhian contains words for many things that I found important.
Dialects
(Cannonical lore for Shumekayne as well as some other stuff. Not true for Earth).
Different dialects emerged especially through Iikrhian isolation which affected Aisiakrhi internally. However, due to the rapid decline of Aisiakrhi's power in the Shumekayne as well as in other places, dialectal variation only survives in Iikrhian Iikrhiahrhiisla. The rerise of Aisiakrhi was very quick and limited in size, so there wasn’t much time for change. Most dialects also have nearly the same phonology as standard Iikrhian due to isolation and purification.
Note that not all words are dialectal; some are just variants used in the main language. However, some dialectal variants were loaned into main language and vise versa, so it is unclear where many variants originated.
|ſ͔ɭ| is main dialect. |ꞁȷ̀ɜ| is known variant (Often used in compounds or names or other stuff).

ſןɹ j͑ʃɔ > ſןɹ ɽ͑ʃ'ɔ
The variants that are often used for compounds and other usage can be derived by a set of rules which mainly have to do with their ending. For example ֭ſɭᴜ ɭʃᴜ/֭ſɭᴜƽ ｡ ꞁȷ̀ɔ ſᶘᴜ ɽ͑ʃ'ᴜ/ꞁȷ̀ɔ ſᶘᴜƴ ｡ and ſɭᴜ }ʃᴜƴ/ſɭᴜ }ʃᴜ ɭl̀ɔ. Sometimes, this doesnt even have to be related to a sound change; ſɭᴜ ſןɹ/ſɭᴜƽ.
Sometimes words ending in -ꞁȷ̀ᴜ (if ɘ/c̭ then -ꞁȷ̀ɹ) are shortened in affixes. This is a result of sound changes partially reverting.
ſɟᴜ ɭʃᴜ j͑ʃᴜꞇ > ſɟᴜƨ j͑ʃᴜꞇ
ſɭɹ ſןɹ }ʃꞇ > ſɭɹɘ }ʃꞇ
Some dialects however preserve the old forms in affixes.
ſɟᴜ ɭʃᴜ j͑ʃᴜꞇ > ſɟᴜƨ ꞁȷ̀ᴜꞇ
ſɭɹ ſןɹ }ʃꞇ > ſɭɹ ſןɹ }ʃꞇ
In fast speech, sometimes the -j͑ʃᴜꞇ suffix is shortened and the word is combined (ʌ shows word separation).
