Arodjun

Arodjun (Arodjun: Kat djArodjunx) is a Cahilan language spoken predominantly in the Fwonnel Peninsula but also throughout Permechiko, Kleo, Aukahrus, and in some parts of the Unorganized Territories.

As of 2067 AR, there are approximately 9.5 million native speakers and 14.8 million second-language speakers.

There are several dialects of Arodjun and at least two confirmed daughter languages (Zessis Creole and Oasis). Since 2021, there has been no centralized enforcement of language standards, though the Roox City dialect is considered the most prestigious and is taught throughout Reuxalusia, Fwonn, and Sarbisi.

The glottal stop is used on this phoneme table because of the /b'/ cluster that sometimes appears. Native Arodjun speakers consider /b'/ to be the third in a series of "ejectives" along with /k'/ and /t'/. However, due to voiced ejectives technically being impossible, it saves space on the table to simply include a glottal stop and consider /k'/, /t'/, and /b'/ to be a series of consonant clusters including a glottal stop. Phonemically these are the only situations where the glottal stop occurs, however the letter <'> can sometimes be seen separating two vowels to imply a syllable boundary instead of a diphthong.
