Mukako Buzo

Mukako Buzo is a language spoken by Merfolk in a group called Mukako which translated literally means "Red People" with buzo translating to tongue or speak. It is spoken in areas the Sea of Pearls, the Atsyllean Sea and other surrounding large bodies of water. While other languages spoken by Merfolk certainly exist, Mukako Buzo is currently the only known one. There is no evidence to support the hypothesis that these languages are somehow related.

The alphabet and phonetics shares a distinct similarity to that of the Traveler's Tongue with the omission of the letters , ,, and  along with the inclusion of distinct symbols for .

Mukako Buzo is a subject–object–verb language with adjectives following after the word they are attached to. The language lacks terms for "the", "am", and "are" merely implying their existence. For example a sentence such as "the red frog jumped over the blue toad while a green newt watched" would realign to "frog red toad blue jumped over while watched newt green" in the rules of Mukako Buzo.

Verbs and suffixes
All verbs in Mukako Buzo end in a vowel which allows for a system of suffixes to denote variations on the base verb where it only needs to include a single new letter.

Numbers
Opposed to the more common decimal system of Traveler's Tongue, Mukako Buzo uses a ocal system. Numeral adverbs are formed by adding an "A" to the start of a numerical adjective. For example, Chaso means "one" while Achaso means "once".

Pronouns
Most pronouns and honorifics derive from the word Mu which translates to "people". And one thing to keep in mind for he grammar specifically referring to pronouns is the use of the word for He/Her in it's use in Traveler's Tongue and in the role as the noun boy/girl, as well as the distinction of they/them as a pronoun from they/them when referring to a group of people.

Loan Words
Mukako Buzo being a language spoken by Merfolk does not have native words for most things above the water, thus in the past they would describe literally what they see like they would call a boat a "Bako Wosat" but in modern times with more exposure to languages such as travelers tongue loan words have grown in use. There are two main steps in the process of taking a travelers tongue word and fitting it in the linguistic style of Mukako Buzo, first is the substitution or exclusion of any  phonemes  would be replaced with a  in the case that it is at the start of a word seen in "leopard" becoming "teopard" and if the  isn't at the beginning it becomes an  in the case that it is not a part of a consonant cluster such thus a word like "deliberate" would become "deriberate", if an  is part of a consonant cluster it is excluded such as in "flower" becoming "fower".

The second step is simply changing the lettering of a word to be in line with Mukako Buzo which entails spelling it as it sounds so "teopard" would become "teperd" but in the case of a verb changing it further to have it end with a vowel so if a vowel is only one letter away from the end the ending consonant is excluded as seen with "run" becoming "ru" and if there are two or more consonants in the way it takes the first vowel and puts it at the end so something like "jump" would become "jumpu".
