Info
Constructed language, or Conlang is a language that it's made by someone instead of being evolved natrually like Engrish and German. The examples are Esperanto, toki pona and Lojban etc.. I made several languages, which are...Pater (lost unfortunatly, but still have some knowlege about it; started in summer(?) 2019)Hanzo/Anzõ (started in Jul 6 2022)...and the newest, Sänjaxom (started in May 9 2024).In this page, as in phonology and grammar tab, I'm going to be focusing on talking about Sänjaxom Language.
And also the language is unfinished, so I may change anything about Sänjaxom in this page.More infos in this page coming soon.

Phonotactics
Phonotactics is a "rule" of how words should be formed in a language. Here are some restrictions of Sänjaxom that I defined:1. The max syllable of Sänjaxom is (C)V(C) (consonant; vowel; consonant), meaning there's only one consonant at the start fo the syllable and at the end, which is a relatively a simple syllable structure compared to Engrish (C)(C)(C)V(C)(C)(C)(C).2. all consonats can be on onset, the start of a syllable and on coda, the end of a syllable (except /h/, so syllable such as /tah/ is not permitted because there's the /h/ is at the end of a syllable).3.Stop consonants (p b t d k g) cannot be before nasal consonants (m n), so consonants combinations such as /pn/ or /dm/ are not permitted.4. Here are all illigal syllables (I'm way too lazy to explain all):
/ji/, /wu/, /xi/, /hi/, /hu/, /si/, /wo/, /wø/, /wy/, /jy/ If you don't know how to read IPA:

GrammarWord order
The basic word order is SOV (Subject, Object, Verb), one of the most common word order after SVO (subject, verb, object). So if you want to say "Koraidon eats the sandwich", you would say "Koraidon the sandwich eat.". The verb is at the end, always, no matter in which context. So in Sänjaxom, it would be...
ranagigoradagkäprägiruk pasoxomopasonlin janäm.Subject Object Verb
However, if auxiliary verb is used in the sentence, the main verb goes before the subject. Here's the example sentence with an auxiliary verb:
janädi ranagigoradagkäprägiruk pasoxomopasolin kynnym.Koraidon wants to eat the sandwich.
Here you see that the main verb has successfully moved away from the auxiliary verb because the verb doesn't want to be next to the auxiliary verb!
Nouns
Nouns in Sänjaxom are not really that special, but it features animate and inanimate grammatical gender, plus dual and plural forms. Unlike Engrish, there are no irregual nouns in Sänjaxom. And there are word suffixes for articles...definite, animate: -ru
definite, inanimate: -liindefinite, animate: -ta
indefinite, inanimate: -te... and case affixes can be attached to articles.
Verbs
Verbs are conjucated in person, number and sometimes tense. Here is the table of conjucation below:
