This part will be an (rather long) abstract from /The Ñyqy People/ from my

|
colleague Q. Rhęte, a book about the culture of this people compiling all
|
||||||
|
knowledge available at that time on the subject. I strongly encourage you to
|
||||||
|
read it if you intend to study Ñyqy in order to know in which context this
|

|
language was use. Below you will only have a short version of this work which
|
||||||
|
is the absolute minimum any Ñyqy student should know, but again, you should

definitively get the book itself.

basic morphemes, {{{nyqy(ñy)}}} and {{{nyqy(qy)}}}. The former is the first person

As mentioned earlier, Ñyqy is the subject of constant linguistic research,

first by linguists from the Old Era, most of them who unfortunately are

anonymes ayant vécus lors de l’Ère précédente. Leurs connaissances étaient

Énanonn language to Ñyqy, and Pr. Lero who compared the evolution of Ñyqy

with the evolution of Tãso (3601). This work will mostly rely on their

papers, although many more will be used, mainly from the University of Ðbńo
