Nytal is a costructed fantasy language, born to be isolated and not related to any linguistic family in the world.
Phonology and Pronounce
Basical pronounce
- a = like a in father
- b = as in English
- c = always like ch in church
- d = as in English
- e = like open e in lady or close e in men
- f = as in English
- g = always like g in get
- h and ' = these two graphemes represent a phoneme which is unknown to the most European languages: the glottal stop. Danish language has it and use it very often for distinguishing words but does not give it an alphabetic sign. Semitic languages use it more and more largerly, in fact it is considered as a single consonant. It is not easy to pronounce, in English we can find some example in the stop we make when we pronounce Bat'man. The real glottal stop is a fast movement open/closed of the vocal cords, but for the speakers who do not know how to pronounce it we advise to pronounce it as a little stop during pronunciation.
- i = always like ee in meet
- j = always like ee in meet
- k = as in English
- l = always like 'l in lane
