This is the second conlang of Marvin Johanning, created in 2015. He considers it a creole language between Germanic and Uralic. It is designed to be a language that looks like a Uralic language, but which is easier to learn and with Germanic words. | |||

The language was created in school, during biology class. Marvin had an idea to make a Uralic-looking language for quite some while, so he decided to start. The first words created were: "Ikka [ɪka], paalika [pa:lɪka], mõri [mø:ri], tuukaa [tu:ka:]" (I, to speak, with, you), and the first sentence was "Ikka paalikka mõri tuukaa". Because his last language [[Jeïos]] was quite complicated, he tried making this one easier to learn. The name for the language does not have any meaning and was just created. | The language was created in school, during biology class.

== Ortography == | |||
Kõraakii uses the English alphabet, but with a few extra letters added and a few removed. <br/> | |||

The double letters in words (e.g tuuka) are used to indicate a long vowel, and a double consonant usually represents a short vowel (e.g hitta). Some of the special letters | |||
have their own short or long version. | |||
