Haswaraba is a language family located at the northern edge of Outer Poswob territory on the large tropical island of Nī. Its speakers have bled out into Paleo-Andanese lands and influences have gone in bhoth directions. Haswaraba is the name of the parent language; its descendants are called Haswarabic languages.
Phonlogy
Haswaraba is notable for the collapse of all short vowels (which were much more commonm than long vowels) into /a/ and the loss of length distinctions. Haswaraba had three major vowels: /a i u/, of which /a/ was far more common than the other two, and some marginal vowels: /â/ (seen as /aa/), and /wo/ (which comes from POP3 /oo/).
Consonants
The consonants systsem is very asymmetrical. /p b bʷ m w t d dʷ s sʷ š ś ñ j k gʷ h hʷ/
