Voeng'za (or Voeη'za) is the common intergalactic language that emerged as different species began interacting across the universe. It uses a system of particles and affixes to indicate grammatical relationships, making it relatively straightforward to learn.
The language is structured logically, with root words and affixes combining to create complex concepts. This systematic approach has made it particularly effective for expressing both everyday concepts and advanced technological terms across different cultures.
Looking at the root words, we can see how names are constructed using meaningful elements:
ka, ga (beauty/appeal)
ki (air/wind)
zu (communication/exchange)
ne (network/connection)
mu (memory/data)
wa, ya (light)
kya (male/masculine)
na (shade/obstruction)
e (inner/central)
to (tough/durable)
pfa (sight/vision)
bu, vu (plant/tree)
tso (story, tale)
nyo (female/feminine)
Names in Voeng'za generally follow the consonant-vowel pattern characteristic of the language. They can incorporate distinctive sounds, including the moraic nasal η' (”ng”) and palatalized consonants. Words in the language have roots with static meaning.
