Since the "pays d'outre mer" are Countries of the French Republic, I'm going to go with Marquesan - a non-Indo European language native to the soil of the French Republic, sensu stricto. Name a language that uses a velar lateral ejective affricate and isn't Zulu. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Korean is wrong, as Hangu is used by Cia Cia. Japanese is wrong, because of Ainu, etc. I'll stick to Klingon or another Conlang. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

As for Ainu, Arekkusu explicitly talked about the Japanese writing system as a whole, while Ainu uses only katakana. One could suggest Okinawan, although classical written Okinawan (from the time of the Ryukyuan kingdom) used hardly any katakana and modern Okinawan writing isn't standardized. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Wow, I did not know about that one, thanks for bringing it to my realm of awareness! I was thinking of the infamous Enochian! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I'd go with Cherokee. EDIT: Talk about being late for the party. This is what happens when you don't read the entire thread. So sorry, everyone! Edited by Ari on 14 February 2012 at 8:43am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Okay, consider me sufficiently remorseful to eat one less dried squid covered in chocolate. Thanks for the details. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Montana Salish (according to Wikipedia)
And now we are in that part of the world, could you name a language which according to a strict phonemic analysis only has one vowel (3 if you disregard the lack of phonemic pairs), and which uses this one vowel so sparingly that it just as well could have dropped it completely. Actually the one I'm thinking of also has pharyngal consonants. Edited by Iversen on 15 February 2012 at 3:51pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
