Solaric is an Anglic Language spoken predominantly in North America, centered along the middle and upper Mississippi River valley, the Ohio and Missouri River valleys, the American High Plains, the central Rockies, Pittsburgh, and the central Atlantic coast from Washington to New York. Solaric dialects are also spoken in many orbital colonies and on Luna.
Phonology
Solaric has a very complex phonological system. Ejectives and implosives are dervied from fusions of glottal stops and plosives.
Syllable structure is (F)(C)(C)(F|L|N|w|y)V(C)(C)
Every word is mildly stressed and pitch-accented on the ultimate, penultimate, or antepenultimate syllable, whichever is heaviest because of vowel length and coda consonants.
