I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

The phonology is almost that of Lushootseed. 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.
