Consonants

Munchiyon consists of 15 consonants, otherwise known as a konchi base. These consonants are

b "ba"

c "cha"

d "da"

g "ga"

h "ha"

k "ka"

l "la"

m "ma"

n "na"

p "pa"

r "ra"

t "ta"

v "va"

w "wa"

z "za"

Vowels

Munchiyon consists of 9 vowels, 5 single vowels and 4 "y" vowels (not sure what they're actually called, that's just what I've been referring them as), otherwise known as konchi marks. The single vowels are

a "a"

e "e"

i "i"

o "o"

u "u"

and the "y" vowels are

f "ya"

j "ye"

q "yo"

s "yu"

Syllables

There are 2 allowed syllable patterns. These patterns are

• CV(C): a consonant followed by any vowel

• CVV(C): a consonant followed by a single vowel then a "y" vowel, this order cannot be changed

A second consonant may be added to the end of the syllable, but it is not common.

A syllable may not start with any vowel by any means.

Writing

Munchiyon was originally created to be written vertically for convenience, and still is. This way of writing also allows each word to be connected by one line. However, it is impossible to show that on such a site, so each word is just written horizontally.

Usually, a word would be written as a line of consonants, and beside each consonant would be a vowel that the consonant is followed by.

For example, this is how the word "chya" (meaning "you") would look:

cf

Each combination of a consonant and a vowel like this is called a "konchi." If the word would be CVV, though, like the word "miyu" (meaning "mind"), then the first vowel would be written above the second vowel (I would show you an example, but sadly I can only do that on paper with a pen or pencil).
