Phonotactics
The general description of the syllable unit in Vưng Ḍác Tǫ is the following: (C)(F,R)V(P,N). There are, of course, some provisos that go along with that generic description. One of which is that a nasal or implosive consonant cannot form a cluster.
Allophony
Some general allophonic rules:
- If /k/ appears in a syllable before a vowel belonging to the o-group, it becomes /q/ (and is written as such).
- If /z/ forms a cluster with another consonant, it becomes /ð/.
- The o-group's diphthong's two realizations are in free variation and depend on the speaker.
- Whenever an implosive appears second in a two-syllable compound, it laxes the vowel in the first position of the compound (i.e. the language name).
- When initial, the rhotic is trilled, when it appears in compounds it is tapped.
