Kanzarian Introduction and Ancient Kanzarian Phonology

    Welcome to the Kanzarian blog. Here I will be discussing the Kanzarian conlang and conculture. 

    For my first post I thought it appropriate to discuss Ancient Kanzarian the first language spoken in the world and the language of the wind god Karana, specifically I thought I could discuss the Phonology of Ancient Kanzarian.
