Twetho (Tveðo) is a Tsimulh language in the Twethoic branch. The Twethoic languages are inspired by North Germanic languages and the Niso-Burmic branch of Sino-Tibetan: Twetho is inspired by Burmese and Icelandic, and Adatsim is a Twethoic language that is phonologically a Nuosu-Swedish hybrid.

Phonology

Word structure

Preinitial + initial + rime, like Germanic and Khmer; how long should preinitials and rimes be?

Preinitials

Initials

  • /(0|s)/ + /k⁼ kʰ ŋ ŋ̊/ + /(0|w|l|n)/
  • /(0|s)/ + /c⁼ cʰ ɲ ɲ̊ ʎ ʎ̥/
  • /(0|s)/ + /t⁼ tʰ n n̥ l l̥/ + /(0|w|l|n)/
  • /(0|s)/ + /l l̥/ + /(0|w)/
  • /(0|s)/ + /p⁼ pʰ m m̥/ + /(0|j|w|l|n)/
  • /j ç/
  • /(0|s)/ + /w/
  • /(0|s)/ + /h s ts θ tθ ʔ/ + /(0|j|w|n)/

Rimes

Todo: Develop Proto-Twethoic, and use umlaut to get more vowels from Proto-Twethoic rimes.

Structure of rimes

Rimes may be monosyllabic or polysyllabic, but the first syllable of the rime receives primary stress by definition.
