This is my conlang, Tejnaxi. Its core has been worked for almost six years, but a few months ago it went through a massive reboot. Tejnaxi es a proto-language of sorts, more conlangs will be developed using it as a base. All the stuff included here is provisional and may be redesigned in the future.

Allophony

Long e and o are actually produced as ej and ow in all contexts. Short a is produced as schwa in unstressed enviroments. Short e and o are raised to i and u when unstressed.

Phonotactics

Long vowels can only occur in open syllables. Any consonant can be syllable onset, which is obligatory. An epenthetic glottal stop can be inserted. The biggest syllable structure alloved in Tejnaxi is CVRK, where R stands for aproximants, liquids, the glottal fricative and the homorganic nasal. K stands for obstruents (plosives and s).
