Okay, so I wanted to expin how the Kenos nguage works a little deeper.
In the world of Bishingo, the Kenos already had a spoken nguage long before humans ever showed up. They communicated perfectly fine — but they didn’t have a writing system.
Everything was oral.
History, rank, commands, traditions — all spoken and memorized.
When humans arrived and Kenos started interacting more and building around each other, that changed.
Humans write everything down.
So the Kenos adapted.
They began using American English letters to represent their sounds. But they didn’t copy English itself. They kept their original pronunciation style and just used the letters as tools.
That’s how Shanese developed.
I built Shanese by mixing Japanese phonetics with English sentence structure.So:
It’s pronounced like Japanese.
Every vowel is clear.
Every sylble is spoken.
But sentence order follows English grammar.
It’s written with American letters.
And it’s spoken louder and more aggressively than Japanese.
The Kenos culture is intense and structured, so the nguage reflects that.
It isn’t soft.
It’s projected.
Even casual speech sounds firm.
The nguage was officially standardized in the early 480s in the Keno world timeline. The current year in the story is 5027, so it has evolved for thousands of years.
The Number System RulesNow here’s where it gets more interesting.
Shanese has structural number rules built directly into the nguage.
For example:
50 = grovono
You add “no” at the end for certain base forms.
But numbers like 500, 5,000, and 50,000 shift differently:
500 = Grovepo5,000 = Govero50,000 = Groveso
Every zero added makes the ending shift down one letter in a structured pattern.
In one example I used the sequence: N → P → R → S
Each additional zero moves you forward in the pattern.
Numbers With Additional DigitsWith numbers like:
507 = Goveno-bun5,007 = Govero-bun50,007 = Groveso-bun
After forming the base (no / ro / so), you attach the first three letters of the remaining number structure.
For example:580 = grove-hano
The number in front modifies the final three letters depending on pcement and zero count.
Numbers after 10 combine structurally.Example:
11Usu + (modified ten form)→ Usonosu
The base number attaches to a modified ten structure.
The pattern: Base number + “no” + adjusted ending.
It makes the number system feel yered and intentional instead of just transted math.
I designed it this way because I didn’t want Shanese to feel like
“English with weird spelling.”
I wanted it to feel like it evolved independently — and then adapted when humans entered the picture.
I also wanted to show you how Shanese actually works in a real sentence.
When I transte from English into Shanese, I don’t just randomly make up sounds.
I actually keep a running dictionary where I log words and their meanings. Every time I create a new word, it gets written down and reused consistently.
Because I don’t want the nguage to feel fake or inconsistent.
It takes a long time.
When I transte, I go word by word. I break down the English meaning first, then rebuild it using Shanese structure. Sometimes I have to adjust phrasing slightly to make it flow naturally.
It’s slow.
Example:
English: “You’re perfect, how do you do that?”
Shanese: Yamate Kanfect, Doyoha Sudo yama sudo soche?
Pronunciation (spoken clearly and projected):
Yah-mah-teh Kahn-fehct,Doh-yoh-hah Soo-doh Yah-mah Soo-doh Soh-cheh?
Breakdown:Yamate – You areKanfect – PerfectDoyoha – HowSudo – DoYama – YouSoche – That / This action
Also the next Bonus chapter will be up to yall, if no one Votes/Comments i will choose:)
(Chapter 3 will be coming (02/18/2026)
