Elimyen is an agglutinative conlang.

Phonology

Elimyen is written using an abugida script (an abugida is a script where each character represents a consonant and vowel together). There are characters for each consonant-vowel pair (and lone vowel) below, except for 'du', 'tu' and 'yi', which do not appear in the language. There is also some overlap between s/z and dh/th, which are considered individual phonemes. The absence of a vowel following a consonant is indicated explicitly.
