A conlang with an Icelandic, Scandinavian, PGmc and Tamil aesthetic
[[Xeno-Mandarin]] (''Putongyu'' or ''Putonglawas'') is an Altaic conlang with a "nontonal Mandarin" aesthetic, spoken in northern China and parts of Mongolia and Siberia in [[Verse:Irta]]. It's a hypothetical answer to the question "What if Mandarin were an Altaic sprachbund language?"


* retroflexes
==Todo==
* more consonant clusters (lC, nC, mC, fricativeC)
* preaspiration (including /ʰʈ/)


r and zh both pronounced [r ~ r̥], from Old Tiruttazhai *r and *z
Derive from existing "reconstructions" of Proto-Altaic
 
Chinese words in this language should sound so Mandarin they're even polysyllabic, like ''taiyang'' "sun" instead of ''ri''
 
''-zi'' is quite productive and works even with Altaic words
 
Andalusian Spanish-style vowel harmony?
