 ===Phonotactics===
-<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
+Íscégon phonotactics are rather simple, especially by Evandorian languages' standards, as the syllable structure is (C<sub>1</sub>(C<sub>2</sub>))V(C<sub>3</sub>). '''C<sub>1</sub>''' may be any consonant; '''C<sub>2</sub>''' may be /r/, /ʋ/, or /j/ (but only after a stop or fricative (and /sr/ is not possible anyway)), and '''C<sub>3</sub>''' may be one of /m n s r l/. The vowel may be short, long, or a falling diphthong.<br/>
+Íscégon phonotactics are one of the easiest noticeable differences with its most famous daughter language, Cerian, where the maximum syllable structure is strictly CVn — something that can often be easily seen by comparing an Íscégon word with its Cerian descendant, e.g. Isc. ''rípsercé'' and ''irnéma'' (both meaning "city") → Cer. ''refusécé'' (castle), ''ínéma'' (city).
