To-do list (Yaettengma)

 * Can we prepare a table like the ones in Seriyedang? Are we borrowing more from  or from ? Is  at all relevant? What features of  are good to borrow without overdoing it?  and Seriyedang are seemingly poorer than Japanese in phonemes, so there shouldn't be anything notable to borrow. (I wonder if  will be of any use here.)
 * A list of all the translated Chinese characters thus far (AKA all non-native Japanese/Yaettengma words) as well as their original form would be very much appreciated. We can then use the clarified phonemic inventory to revise and perfect the loanwords. While Old Japanese is too old for inspiration, this corpus of Old Japanese could help us with identifying, which I believe should outpower Chinese loanwords due to distance and conservatism. Let us try to keep Chinese loanwords to (for a lack of a better word) "advanced terms" (society, architecture, warfare, culture, politics, valued goods) and outside of the "basic realm" (food, animals, feelings, tradition, occupations, spirituality). Ainu loanwords can definitely be more commonplace; see digital dictionary here.
 * Things about Japanese and Japonic languages: Subject-Object-Verb order, head-final (means the main meaning of a noun comes last, is preceded by other nouns or adjectives) and is thus left branching (e.g. "book the of cover the"; "table the underneath"; "me than bigger" are to be grammatically sound). Topic prominence. I'm really just citing here. Respect forms; do we keep or throw away? Suffixes is where Yaettengma's originality can shine; we can simplify or complicate Japanese grammar where we see fit. Let's cover the first two bullet points, then discuss grammar more intensively.

=Fuinam=

The Second Republic of Fuinam (: 第二惠南共和國; Miéu Fúinàm Khiungfòkoet) is a country in west Jungju. It is bordered by Mincang to the northeast and Lanxieu to the southeast. Since the establishment of the Second Republic, by Cong Fa-cai in 1987, Fuinam has been a member of both the Sinju Union and Congress of Nations

Prior to the Fui-Fu Todam Independence Movement, the region that is now Fuinam was a region of Mincang, and had been for hundreds of years. In 1580, only a couple of decades following the establishment of the Second Mincangan State, the majority of the present-day Fuinam area was annexed into Mincang. Throughout the 16th-19th centuries, ethnic Todam peoples in Mincang worked as merchants, and later during the industrial revolution many of these people moved north into urban areas to work in factories. Under the rule of Mincang, ethnic Todam peoples were heavily discriminated against, and were forcefully assimilated into Mincangan culture. By the mid-1870’s, most Fui Todams were poor and could not easily find work, so many Fui Todams immigrated to Namju to escape poverty and discrimination.

During the Great Eulhae War, radicalists arose in southern Mincang, particularly in areas with heavy ethnic Todam populations. Violent protests and riots broke out across the country during the Eulhae War. Following the end of the Eulhae War, the Todam Independence Movement became a contentious topic in Mincang. By the late 1940’s, the riots and political protests by the Todam Independence Movement became so violent that they possibly threatened the political stability of Mincang. In Chirwol of 1949, Mincang granted Fuinam independence.

In 1950 the First Republic was established, from 1950-1989 Fuinam was governed by a dictatorial government, one vehemently opposed to Mincang. The presidents of Fuinam during the First Republic Period passed laws that often made it impossible for citizens of Fuinam to travel to Mincang and vice-versa. Schools in Fuinam often taught strictly Fui Todam culture, anything pertaining to Mincangan culture and Mincang in general was outright banned in schools throughout the country. Fuinamese media produced extreme anti-Mincang propaganda, and such propaganda was often implemented into schools, as well as other facets of every-day life.

The laws and policies enacted by the government left many Fuinamese dissatisfied. Beginning in the 1970’s Fuinam would see a shift in political and societal beliefs. In 1988 Cong Fa-cai was elected president, and one year later founded the Second Republic. Many reforms in the education system, and Fuinamese media were made. During the 1990’s roughly ¼ of Fui Todams, who left Mincang during the Eulhae War, immigrated to Fuinam. Since Fuinam joined the Sinju Union and Congress of Nations, relations between Fuinam and Mincang have improved, though there is still a large anti-Mincang bias in Fuinam.
