Introduction

PaePae La'a MooyaMooya is a picto-syllabic language spoken by the Ryanic peoples throughout the world. It was invented by Ryan DeMoon in the 2020s. Currently, as a language, it is still a work in progress, and will probably never be finished fully, if finishing it is even possible.

The main feature of PaePae La'a MooyaMooya is that each word carries both phonetic and real-world meanings, as opposed to the one or the other found in alphabets and pictographic scripts, respectively. This, however, has the side effect of causing many sentences to be longer that they could theoretically be if preservation of either of these two features was abandoned.
