UYSEʔIC

Uyseʔic [uj 'sɛʔ ɨk] is a family of languages in southern Arcél. All its members are monosyllabic and head-final. It's one of the dominant families of the continent along with Beic, its best known member of course being Uyseʔ. Uyseʔ itself is notable for having no voiced stops or fricatives, though this is not true of the family as a whole.

The Uyseʔic peoples were anciently known as Uyram, which can still be used for their ethnic group, though loyalties are now largely directed at specific nations; even Uytainese no longer consider it their manifest destiny to rule Nyan or Ťrim.

There is a shared writing system, which arose out of the astronomical, genealogical, and accounting systems of Tsopwan, perfected by the 1000s. The system is logographic, though with heavy use of homonyms as phonetic markers, and though the graphemes have simplified the system continues in use today, and has been adopted to write the Beic languages.
