It is a relatively simple and yet flexible language, based on six key sounds -- <I>a </I>(ah), <I>i </I>(ee), <I>e </I>(eh), <I>o </I>(oh) and <I>n</I> -- making up two sets of syllables, and a grammatical order of subject-object-verb (as opposed to the subject-verb-object formula of English.) So let's begin.
