Zvetanda /dzʋɛtaⁿda/ is a language inspired by Swahili, Shona, and Czech. In-universe it is considered musical due to its vowel system. (Languages in Zvetanda's family are the most widely spoken languages in the south of Avishviya)

Syllabic /m ŋ/?

Vowels are pronounced as in Czech: y ý e é a á o ó u ú (in the rom, i í is used to represent palatalizing i in Ilithian loanwords which are spelled as if it were modern Czech)
