## Trivia

* In njêN- -âe - (irrealis/conditional), the N is an n by default. It can be assimilated to l, m, r, or ž if it is followed by these respectively.
	+ N > with b, m, p > always m
* Nandegakkovian's pronunciation was influenced somewhat by Italian, Hungarian, and Quenya, and its usage of accent marks was based on Greek and Spanish diacritics.
* Nandegakkovians boast that while Igarin was as "harsh as the jagged rocks", their own language "is a smooth stream of water".
* Like most Igarinoids, all Nandegakkovians are born into either one of four physical sexes: male (he), female (she), drone (xe), and carer (ze). Therefore, even though the male pronouns are commonly-used, the neuter form of pronouns is considered more polite when addressing a crowd.
* (R) - native Resparin word
