Aeséni languages

The Aeséni languages is a group of genetically unrelated languages that are spoken by the Aeséni people. Besides some shared vocabulary, they don't have much in common, and are only grouped together for biological and cultural reasons.

Shared features
Despite being genetically unrelated - thus having different core vocabularies - the Aeséni languages share several features. Common features among the Aeséni languages include:
 * All Aeséni languages are ergative and feature incorporation.
 * Aeséni languages are typically either polysynthetic or agglutinative (or a combination of both).
 * Lack of distinction between voiced and voiceless plosives and fricatives, albeit voiced plosives and fricatives may occour as allophones of their voiceless counterparts
 * Lack of (phonemic) aspiration.
 * Lack of labiodental consonants (Northeast Aeséni and North-Central Aeséni do have bilabial fricatives though)
 * Presence of tones (with Northeast Aeséni being the only notable exception)
 * Aeséni languages don't have words for red and pink, instead they have several words for different shades of red.
