'Etaŕo' is a naturalistic conlang. It is not intended to fit into any of Earth's linguistic families

Phonology

Etaŕo is represented with the following alphabet:

  • "A" is pronounced "ah" as in "spa" (open back unrounded vowel)
    • "Â" is between "a" (cat) and "e" (net), so is close to a near-open front unrounded vowel.
  • "B" is pronounced "b" as in "bed" (bilabial plosive)
  • "C" is pronounced like "sh" (shop) but further back (voiceless retroflex fricative)
  • "D" is pronounced "d" as in "dog" (voiced aveolar plosive)
  • "E" is between "a" (play) and "e" (bed) (mid-front unrounded vowel)
  • "F" is pronounced "f" as in "face" (voiceless labiodental fricative)
  • "Ƒ" is like "F", but between two lips (voiceless bilabial fricative)
  • "G" is pronounced "g" as in "ground" (voiced velar plosive)
  • "H" is like a "g", but not closed all the way (voiceless velar fricative)
    • "Ĥ" is pronounced "ch" in "chutzpah"
  • "I" is pronounced "ee" as in "free" (close front unrounded vowel)
  • "J"
  • "K" is pronounced "k" as in "key" (voiceless velar plosive)
