The Mami had many iterations IRL, the first being more of a variation of English rather than its own language. But it was then revisited when I was working on Orla for the first time in 2022.

	~~I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).~~
	~~II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)~~

	~~==Introduction==~~		'''Mami''' (''mami'', IPA: /ˈmami/) is an Ulwîf language in the Mami language family, mainly spoken in the Mami Empire, where it is the majority and official language. It is also an official language of the Ninkhergasi governorate in Kergasia, and there are also notable Mami-speaking communities in the Ebatyanan Horde.

Mami is one of the major languages of the world, with more than 300 million native speakers as of 1900. It is the most spoken native language within the Mamis region, and 2nd in the world. Mami is the most widely spoken Mami language.

	~~The Word Order in~~ Mami is ~~SOV~~, Adjectives go before the noun, and ~~there are postpositions instead of prepositions~~.		Mami has free word order, SOV is the dominant order (SVO in subordinate clauses), but a part of a sentence can be emphasised by moving it to the beginning of the sentence (Emphasising a subject can be done by adding 'ogh' after it, though this is uncommon in formal speech). Postpositions are used. Adjectives, demonstratives, and numerals go before the noun, relative clauses go after the noun phrase, possessives and genitives go before the noun they modify, and adverbs go before adjectives.
