The Aden Language was invented by Aden Vanderbush. This was inspired by Japanese, Vienamese, English, Spanish, and many scripts. Like Chinese, Aden has radicals.
Classification and Dialects[]
Rule: All consonants(except approximants) are merged into pairs. In each pair, both consonants will have the same place and manner, but one is voiced and the other is voiceless. ñ is not siblings with any letter, and neither is h; so those are exceptions.
