Parseltongue referred to in this article refers to Stilio, a reconstructed form of Parseltongue. A script for this language is forth-coming. This language is an Fluid Alignment language, preferring SOV word order

Phonology

Snakes have vastly simplified mouths compared to human-being. We are capable of making every sound they make, though some are easier than others. Snakes have no lips, but their labial scales can contract and produce "lip-rounding", which is very important is Parseltongue. Their palate is occupied with the vomeronasal organ or Jacobson's organ, which acts as a sense of smell. Snakes have no uvula. Their glottis is where our pharynx is, but it can move aside when eating large prey. They have no epiglottal region.

Sentient and non-sentient snakes hiss their entire volume of air without interruption, so a Parseltongue cannot be longer than about ten seconds. Whatever vocal-cords they are graced with by magic, snakes cannot speak very loudly or vary pitch beyond very low frequencies.

Given their anatomy, even with the aide of magic, Parseltongue

  • has no labial consonants
  • has no retroflex consonants
  • has no palatal or alveolar-palatal consonants
  • has no uvular, pharyngeal, or epiglottal consonants
  • has no voiced consonants
  • is all spoken in creaky-voice
  • has no corarticulated consonants
  • of the clicks, has only the dental
  • may begin an utterance with a stop, but they are not permitted elsewhere in speech.
  • affricates can appear anywhere and are common
  • must end an utterance with a sibilant/fricative
  • has ejective forms
  • contrasts lip rounding on consonants
