this language is a work in progress. i add stuff here as i come up with it. this has the unfortunate side effect that i will sometimes rewrite this page in its entirety, when (not if) i decide i don't like what i came up with.
this is not a naturalistic language, nor is it developed for any fictional culture. i may make a culture around it in the future.
this section describes the different domains the language is used in, and the relationship therebetween.
first of all, this language is a spoken one, and hence it has a sound inventory. there is also an improvised sort of body signing language for the beings that speak it in-universe. both of the aforementioned have written versions.
what are the sounds used in this language? well, glad you didn't ask! have a table or two.
| labial | alveolar | , post- | |
|---|---|---|---|
| nasal | m | n | ɲ |
| plosive | p | t | k |
| fricative | f | s | ʒ |
| liquid | w | ɾ | j |
| modal | creaky | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| front | back | front | back | |
| close | i | u | ḭ | ṵ |
| open | a | a̰ | ||
a few sounds are in free variation, no distinction is made between them: the alveolar trill and approximants, central as well as lateral, with the flap; the voiced alveolo-palatal and retroflex fricatives with the post-alveolar one; mid-glottalized vowels as in [aʔa] with creaky ones, such as [a̰].
