	Kaidu is currently three years old as of August 2015. I started making this language when an older language of mine died. Kaidu is used mainly as a personal artlang, there is currently no specific conworld for it, but I use it in a number of stories. I have drawn inspiration from several languages, namely English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, and some Bantu languages. Conlanging has been my hobby for many years. Kaidu’s grammar is simple for English speakers; the hardest parts are the verbs and adjectives because they are different from English. Kaidu’s syllable structure is simply (C)V(C). Kaidu has a lot of the basic consonants, but it has some unique consonants as well. For instance, it has prenasalized consonants that can occur in initial positions. I have designed Kaidu’s lexicon to be somewhat more minimal than English. Kaidu words are created in the style of Chinese compounds.		Kaidu is currently three years old as of August 2015.

In most cases, it will be [ɨ], but in a few others it is different. /t/ /f/ have the /i/ be [j] and the second element is syllabic.

			Kaidu has four potential settings, three of which are currently realized in at least some capacity. For the most part Kaidu is spoken in Fu Kaibeni Venmiowio, the Kaibeni Republic.

			This first is one that occurs in a nebulous location on Earth in the past. I like to imagine an equatorial archipelago somewhat like Indonesia but not quite as big. There is not particularly a republic in the historical setting, instead loose tribes inhabit the various islands but they trade and interact often enough that a coherent single language exists.
	===~~Kaidu~~===		====Current Real World====
			The second is one that is contemporaneous with the modern day. This is the one where I like to build up the idea of Cantias, the capital, as a metropolis. In the historical one, there are no big cities. It's location on Earth is similar or maybe identical to the historical setting.

			The third is a fantasy setting, which is on the planet Sinwio. The Kaiben still live in the Kaibeni Republic, and there is still Cantias, which is still huge but isn't modern, more like an anachronistically advanced large Asian city. In this setting there is a magic called miosi, the control of the elements.

	In Kaidu ~~all~~ syllables ~~can be a maximum of CVC~~. C can be ~~ANY~~ consonant, including prenasalized stops in initial positions. When a prenasal stop is syllable final, it becomes a homorganic cluster of nasal+stop. Certain consonants become palatal versions when before the diphthongs ia, io and iu. When compounding causes two like consonants to meet (except for prenasalized consonants ~~which follow their own rules~~), the first of the two is deleted. This is reflected both in Latin and Kaikak. A further exception to this is verbal endings, which can cause double r, m, and w, which is not deduplicated.		In Kaidu syllables are (C)V(C).
