About Hy
Hy is the funky little language isolate outside of the main 
Cybertronian language, that was spoken by the Jet twins and Blitzwing in a very hypothetical fanfiction I was thinking about making a lot.
It currently features:
* Typically has a very simple syllable structure, (C)V(V)(C). Consonant clusters are used in some Cybertronian loanwords. A way you could describe it is that while Cybertronian relies on consonants, this language relies on vowels.
* VSO and SOV word order.
* Second (fyu/fyu7en (respectful), fye/fye7en (casual)) and third person pronouns (myu/myu7en (respectful), mye/mye7en (casual)), are gendered by respect and casualness. They're not affixed like Cybertronian is.
* Vowels can come in regular, long, and nasalized forms.
* Definiteness in animate nouns is most often marked by splitting the l and adding the -as suffix for singular and -ush for plural. (anarchist is sashol, and "this anarchist" is sasho las, and "these anarchists" are sasho lush) If an animate noun has no l at the end (which is rare), lush is used as the general suffix with no splitting.
* This language is not in any way inspired by German or Eastern European languages and I am sincerely sorry.
