Change vowel system?
I am thinking of having just 9 vowels instead of 36.
I think that would be more realistic.
I am thinking of using a vowel system like Somali's.
I am thinking of having close, close-mid, and open-mid front unrounded and back rounded vowels, and close, mid, and open central unrounded vowels.
Thus the vowels would be:
close: [i], [ɨ], [u];
close-mid: [e], [o];
mid: [ə];
open-mid: [ɛ], [ɔ];
open: [ä]=[ɐ̞]=[ɑ̈].
Same vowels, different order:
front unrounded: [i], [e], [ɛ];
central unrounded: [ɨ], [ə], [ä]=[ɑ̈]=[ɐ̞];
back rounded: [u], [o], [ɔ].
