Cheyoon (an [mis-]anglicization of its native name cayû) is spoken by pinnapoid creatures often mistaken for mermaids and mermen.
Phonology
Although the phonemes below are divided into consonants and vowels for convenience of pronunciation, the archiphoneme for each consonant/vowel pair is a semivocalic. Cheyoon phonology is divided into Crests and Troughs, which roughly correspond to consonants and vowels. Cheyoon is a difficult language for humans, and rapidly wearies the throat.
