Syllable Structure
Status: Completed / In the works (C)V(N)
C is a consonant or affricate V is a vowel N is a nasal or liquid
Affricates
Status: Completed / In the works
These are the possible affricates: /ts, dz, dʒ, tθ, bv, pf/
Consonants
Status: Completed / In the works
- Stops: /p b t d k g/
- Nasals: /m~ɱ n ŋ/
- Fricatives: /f v θ s z ʒ/
- Liquids: /l/
Vowels
Status: Completed / In the works
Our vowels are /i, u, a, y, e/ and /o/.
All vowels are pronounced separately. E.g., "Naeso" is syllabized as /na.'e.so/.
One vowel cluster is allowed in a single root word or affix, and any combination of two of Naeso's vowels forms a valid cluster.
Does "any combination of two of Naeso's vowels" mean two different vowels, or also two instances of the same vowel?
The restriction on vowel clusters applies only to roots.
I.e., when two or more clusters occur in a compound or derived word, that's OK; they don't get simplified.
Liaison
If a compound or derived word would have a sequence of three or four vowels (if e.g. the first element ends in a vowel cluster and the second element begins with a vowel or vowel cluster), insert a consonant after the first or second vowel of a three-vowel sequence or after the second vowel of a four-vowel sequence. The liason consonant is glottal stop /ʔ/. Vote on how it is transliterated.
