Bright languages are constructed languages intended to be aesthetically pleasing and stable in utterance.

  • Assimilation: alba-val > albabelë; silma-val > silmemalë
  • Voicing: consonants between vowels are voiced.
  • Devoicing: initial and final consonants are voiceless.
  • Mutation: voiced consonants extend grade

Velar stops such as /k/ are problematic, therefore removed. Palatalization /ku/ for example has the tendence to inevitably change to /kʷ/ and /b/, whereas /ki/ will lead to /t͡ʃi/ and /ʃi/.
