Kyo language

Kyo Gao-Showan is one of the Gao-Showan languages, and as such it is a member of the Gao-Indralan branch of the Super Seleyan language family. It is spoken by the Kyo people of Deulatoji and the Kyo diaspora in Sekowo

Status
Until the Dranian Zen Revolution, the Kyo language had no recognized official status. During the revolution, the language was the only official language of the revolutionary government, and afterwards it became co-official with Welsh and Draniano. For the first 20 years of the Zen Socialist regime in Deulatoji there was an official polity of assimilating the other people of Drania into the Kyo ethnicity, and as such there are many non-native speakers of the language.

Writing System
Kyo uses two main alphabets, the Gao-Showan pictographic script, also known as Gaoja, and the native Kyo featural alphabet, known as Kyogul. Both of them were adopted for writing the Kyo language before arriving to Drania in the 7th century. Gaoja was in the past, especially during the Kyo Kingdom, the main writing system for Kyo, but due to its complexity it was largely abandoned. Now very few people, mostly highly educated, are able to read this script.

Far more popular, and much simpler, is the native Kyo script, Kyogul. Originating from Kazulian rune writing, just like Gao-Showan kana, Kyogul is a phonemic alphabet organized into syllabic blocks. Each block consists of at least two of the 24 Kyogul letters (jamo), with at least one each of the 14 consonants and 10 vowels. These syllabic blocks can be written horizontally from left to right as well as vertically from top to bottom in columns from right to left. It has been statistically proven that the switch to Kyogul has significantly increased literacy.
