===Diphtongs===
===Transcription===
Teycil is full of diphtongs. Nonetheless the only diphtong pattern allowed is '''Vj''' or '''Vw'''. While Vw-type diphtongs can be found in every position inside a word, Vj-type diphtongs can be found only inside a stressed syllable.
Qihep uses a logographic script, but it can be transcribed in Latin form:


As the stress can move on every syllable of the word as it undergoes morphological changes, the Vj-type diphtongs can undergo something like a reduction process, turning into the so-called '''weak vowels''':

Examples:

* Glayc [ˈglɑiʧ] → glæjcīne [glæˈʧiːne]
 
Diphtongs with long vowel ('''V:j''') are very rare. When unstressed they simply get shorter.

Qihep (in Qihep: Qixēp) is a constructed fantasy language

Phonology

Consonants

Consonants
Bilabial Labio-
dental		 Dental Alveolar Post-
alveolar		 Palatal Velar Labialized
velar		 Labialized
velar
Plosive p b t d k g kʷ (ʔ)1
Nasal m (ɱ)2 n ɲ (ŋ)3
Vibrant r
Fricative f v s ʃ x h
Affricate tʃ
Approximants j w
Lateral
approximants		 l

Note:

  • [ʔ]1is not recognised as an independent phoneme but it is interposed between two vowels, or between two identical consonants.
  • [ɱ]2 and [ŋ]3 are considered allophones of the normal nasal phonemes in front of [f]/[v] and [k]/[g]/[kʷ] respectively.

Vowels

Vowels
Front Near-
front		 Central Near-
back		 Back
Close i(ː) u(ː)

Close mid e(ː) o(ː)
Mid ə(ː)
Open a(ː)

Every vowel can be distinctively short and long.

No dipthongs are allowed. If two vowel are adiacent in a compound word, a glottal stop ([ʔ]) emerges to keep them separated.

Transcription

Qihep uses a logographic script, but it can be transcribed in Latin form:
