A place for my langs that aren't complete enough for a page.

Current project:

Vowels: /a e i o u y/

Light consonants: /b_j dZ J\j\ p_j tS cC/ /f_j v T_j D_j S Z C j m_j J l/

Dark consonants: /b d g p t k/ /f w T D s z x G m n 5/

Orthography: <a e i o u y> <f v tt d s z ch j m n l>

The light/dark value of a consonant is determined by the next vowel: C + <a o u> is dark, C + <e i y> is light. To write a light consonant after a dark vowel or a dark consonant after a light vowel: L + a = <ea> L + o = <io> L + u = <iu> D + e = <ae> D + i = <ui> D + y = <uy>

A light consonant (except /tS dZ cC J\j\ l v S Z j/ after a dark vowel is pronounced with a /j/ glide: <bio> is /bjo/. A dark consonant after a light vowel (except /t d s z w 5/ is pronounced with a /M\/ glide, or a /w/ glide for labials: <bae> is /bwe/, and <kae> is /kM\e/.

Stress is always on the first syllable of a word. There are five vowels possible in unstressed closed syllables: /@ E~I i U Y/, written <a e i u y>.
