Suhai

Suhai, also known by outsiders as Quraklhaw', is the standard language of the Quraklhaw' Hierarchy, where it is also sometimes referred to as Low Suhai, Common Suhai, or Prophet's Suhai, in order to distinguish it from High Suhai, which is now largely a liturgical language, and Proto-Suhai, which was the language spoken by the earliest creations of the Angels. It is related to numerous other languages on Quxigh', with all known Quraklhaw' tongues deriving from Proto-Suhai.
== Etymology ==
Suhai comes from the proto-surai word nesSuhai, literally "to be clear"
== History ==
Suhai displaced High Suhai as the standard language of the Quraklhaw' following the overthrow of the priest queens by the Prophet Kaxurin.
Proto-suhai was head-initial rather than head-final.

Vowels are ass, and I refuse to IPA them. Those that exist are broadly equivalent to a, i, u, e, and y (as in russian), although this last is falling out of use and will likely disappear within a few centuries, replaced by i in most cases; this is a general trend in Suhai; High Suhai and proto-suhai had a relatively simple vowel harmony scheme, but this system in modern Suhai is only extant in some words, and is not followed grammatically.

Valid syllable formations are V, CV, and CVV. CVC is allowed only in loanwords.
It should be noted that ŋ is a valid syllable on its own
