The 1990 census found that 168,600,000 people live in Bergonia. Minidun is a isolating language, with little inflection, like English.
Objects precede subjects, and verbs usually come at the end of sentences.
Most basic words are one syllable, but a lot of concepts are expressed by compound words. Hardly any have more than 3 syllables. Vowels are simple and crisp, with few diphthongs. It is an inflective language with agglutinative features, where sometimes a single complex word represents an entire sentence idea. Verbs can either precede or follow subjects.
