The language was made to create a language for the Mamis in my worldbuilding project, it was inspired by German, Latin, and a little bit by Turkish. 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. The Mami language received its last iteration in June 2023, and I've been developing it since.

===Orthography===
===Orthography===
Mami's Latin orthography is explained below, except for the difference between the circumflex and the h in long vowels. The circumflex is used when the vowel occurs initially or medially, and the h is used when the vowel occurs finally; the only exception is 'ü', which uses h in all positions when it's long.

====Writing System====
Mami uses the Mami script, which is an alphabet. As of August 5th 2025 I have only developed 3 characters (plus 1 diacritic) within the script.
