The three tones are high, neutral, and low. There are two lengths, long and
normal. I know my orthography might be a bit... unsightly, but I like it. It

it grammar, I can never remember.) but nothing serious. It's a playlang for
when I'm bored during school. (Alas, I am bound by those shackles of study and
teacher, oh woe is me!)
