'''Tluh-buhd-tahch''' (''ƛəbədt̓ač'') is an Indo-European language spoken in Lõis' Romania and Ukraine. It's inspired by Lushootseed and Romanian.

==Phonology==

The phonology is almost that of Lushootseed. The differences are that there are two liquids, /ɹ/ and /l/; and that there's no phonemic contrast between rounded velar /kʷ, kʷ’/ and rounded uvular /qʷ, qʷ’/. The phoneme /xʷ/ is often pronounced [ɸ] while /χʷ/ is pronounced like the English [ʍ] with more friction.
