If you PM me your email addy, I can email you the list as I have it tweaked up right now. You'll get lots of animal and plant names, plus a whole lot more (colors, prepositions/postpositions, food and drink, vehicles, weapons, thinking verbs, speaking verbs, verbs of movement, kinship terms, words for physical description, body parts, clothing, medicine, nature, etc.)
I'd prefer if you could PM me the list [:)]

A while ago, MrKrov made this post, saying I didn't need to use email. As you'll see in that thread, it turned out the list was too big to fit in a PM. [:(]

Counters With Money
Since I'm back in school I won't be able to post as much so here's a small grammar note in the meantime [:)]. As the word for money, 萡 (Nan), is uncountable, when before words that require counters, counters for specific currency have to be used instead. For example:

In Vietnam:
咦𠇍銅罖?
Xi·haom đunh nãnh?
How much money is it? (literally how much đồng is it?)

In China:
伵固𠇍圓。
Hũnh a đỉt yúin.

I have some money. (literally I have some yuan)

Last post for awhile I swear [xD]. I got snowed in today and managed to have some time to conlang
邊 (Hãnh/Pưnh/Pen/Men)
The character 邊 is a very common character and as of right now is the only character to have at least 4 different pronunciations depending on the situation

Hãnh
When the character has this pronunciation it means riverside/river bank

Pưnh
Only occurs in the Ởnh·Vú word for Phnom Penh: 岑邊 (Sũm·Pưnh)

Pen
This pronunciation is the form used in Sinic loanwords. When used alone it means the edge/side of a shape

Men
Only occurs as a suffix in the words below where it turns prepositions into nouns:
Spoiler:
𤲂邊 (÷Men)- Below/Bottom/Downside
𨕭邊 (Ả·Men)- Above/Top/Upside
行邊 (Ánh·Men)- Across/The Opposite Side
𠓀邊 (Ãp·Men)- The Time Before
𠓀梗邊 (Ãp·Khã·Men)- Front/Façade
自邊 (Đì·Men)- The Time Since
𥪝邊 (Đrãm·Men)- Interior/Inside
梗邊 (Gã·Men)- Side (Area Beside Something/Someone)
𧵆邊 (Gè·Men)- Vicinity/Nearby
耒邊 (Húy·Men)- The Time After
外邊 (Nio·Men)- Exterior/Outside
除邊 (Sả·Men)- Exception

To show how important tones and Chữ Nôm are to Ởnh·Vú here's some pretty far fetched sentences to illustrate the point [:)]

今夏爸磨黃𧶮𦮲於𨑗𧶮亞洲。啊!亞、固𨕭𦮲吧固𤲂爸吧啞𧶮鴨固。
Gim·ã ã ả ả mờ á đi ả mờ à·chu. Á! À, a ả á đãn a ã ã đãn ã mờ ã a.
this-summer father sharpen orange PART root PREP upper PART Asia EXCLAM yes is above root PART is below father PART mute PART duck is
This summer, my father sharpened an orange root in upper Asia. Ah! Yes, there was a mute duck that was above the root but below my father.

Well to be fair I get that feeling with any language written in Quoc Ngu. The really astounding thing to me is trying to get my head round how this is even Austronesian.

Actually thinking about it, have you shown us the sound changes yet All4Ɇn? Cause I'd really like to take a look at what's got the language to this point.

Names of Latin Letters
Surprised I haven't done this yet. Unsurprisingly, letter names are typically based on their pronunciation in French.
Aa- /a˦˧˥/
Bb- /ɓe˦˧˥/
Ꞗꞗ- /βe˦˧˥/
Cc- /se˦˧˥/
Ch- /t͡ɕe˦˧˥/ (Formerly considered it's own letter of the alphabet, this isn't the case anymore but it's still sometimes used in spelling aloud)
Dd- /ðe˦˧˥/
Đđ- /ɗe˦˧˥/
Ee- /e˦˧˥/
*Ff- /ep̚˧˥/
Gg- /d͡ʑe˦˧˥/
Hh- /hac̚˧˥/
Ii- /i˦˧˥/
*Jj- /d͡ʑi˦˧˥/
Kk- /ka˦˧˥/
Ll- /lə˧˥/
Mm- /em˧˥/
Nn- /en˧˥/
Oo- /o˦˧˥/
Ơơ- /ə˦˧˥/
Pp- /pe˦˧˥/
Qq- /ku˦˧˥/
Rr- /eɻ˧˥/
Ss- /et̚˧˥/
Tt- /te˦˧˥/
Uu- /u˦˧˥/
Ưư- /ɨ˦˧˥/
Vv- /we˦˧˥/
*Ww- /ɗup̚we˦˧˥/
Xx- /ic̚˧˥/
Yy- /i˧˩ɣet̚˧˥/
*Zz- /zet̚˧˥/

*Not usually considered part of the Ởnh·Vú alphabet. Only used in direct borrowings.

Re: Ởnh·Vú- Chamic Language

I love that you actually use 廿.

But why are there two different ways to count to 10? And - follow up - why would you require first graders to learn both at the same time or shortly after? I personally would say you should postpone the second series (if there is any connotation to it, like business counting) to the second grade at least.
Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Thanks! [:D]. It's only used a few situations but I think it's a great character personally

The second series is the one inherited from Proto-Chamic and is used alone or with many counters up to 1000. The first series is borrowed from Middle Chinese and is used in a large number of counters (often related to time or measurement but not always). The first system is also used for all numbers above 1000 in all cases. Take for instance the counter for animals 𡓋 (Y) which uses the native numbers: 𠃩𤾓𠃩𨑮𠃩𡓋 (Lảnh·Rãch·Lảnh·Sủ·Lảnh Y)- 999 animals; 𠦳扜𡓋 (Ri·Ꞗo Y)- 1000 animals; 千一𡓋 (Tén·It Y)- 1001 animals.

As both number sets are incredibly useful it makes sense to me that both would be learned around the same time. Plus the Chinese number set's characters are some of the easiest Hanzi out there for children to learn and their potentially more used Chữ Nôm counterparts are written using those Chinese numerals as radicals.

I've always found it sad that there weren't more conlangs with Hanzi. This is awesome!

西 (Yủ/Xí/Ga)
Thought I'd continue talking about some of the common characters with varied pronunciations and 西 is by far one of the most common characters in Ởnh·Vú

Yủ
This is the pronunciation used when the character is alone. With this pronunciation the character means west


This is the pronunciation used in Chinese loanwords such as in the word for Southwest: 西南 (Xí·Nơm). In addition to occurring in Chinese loans, this pronunciation is very common as a phonetic character in non-Sinic words such as the following below:
𨫊西 (Bơ·Xí)- Iron
𣷷西 (Ta·Xí)- Ocean
粓西 (La·Xí)- Cooked Rice or Meal
西子 (Xí·Tứ)- Saw

Ga
This pronunciation only occurs in one of the few Ởnh·Vú instances of a jukujikun phrase. As the words for Breakfast: 𤎜粓西 (Gữ·La·Xí) & Lunch: 𣊿粓西 (Sảm·La·Xí) translate literally to Morning Meal and Afternoon Meal, the word for Dinner: 𣎀粓西 (Ba·Mỡnh·Ga) is written with the characters for Night Meal despite the pronunciation for all 3 characters being completely different.
