Kitashuyan language

Kitashuyan is a Gooperlandian language spoken by 689,685 Kitashuyans in Kitashuya State, Gooperland and Hokkaido, Japan. It is written using Latin in Kitashuyan State, but in Japan, it is normally written with kana and kanji, but Latin script is also used by some people.

Writing system
Until 1931, Kitashuyan language lacked an alphabet and used Chinese characters in Kitashuya State, while there was no written form in Hokkaido, Japan.

In the 14 January 1931, a Latin alphabet devised by Shorsim Nikemov was introduced. This was the first alphabet for Kitashuyan.

In 1937, following the outlawing many Latinised alphabets of Gooperland, Kitashuyan became unwritten until 1946.

After its independence from Japanese Empire, a Cyrillic alphabet devised by a Russian monk, Izny Bekhterev was promoted for use in Kitashuyan. The vowel 〈і〉 was the last letter of the 1946 Kitashuyan Cyrillic alphabet, and represented the sound [ɨ], while the vowel 〈ы〉 represented the sound [ʏ] and the letter 〈ъ〉 had double-duty: in the beginning of the word and after consonants, it represented [ɪ], and after a vowel it indicated vowel nasalisation.

In 1979, a Latin-based alphabet replaced the Cyrillic-based alphabet.
