| This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
| |
|
| |
| 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.

| *Voiceless plosives and affricates are lightly aspirated.
| |
| *The medial consonants /ɲˁ, cˤ, ɟˤ, çˤ, ʎˁ, jˤ/ vary by idiolect and may be retroflex or sulcalized retroflex [ɳ, ʈ, ɖ, ʂ, ɭ, ɻ] or pharyngealized pre-velar/"bunched" [ŋ̟ˁ, k̟ˤ, g̟ˤ, x̟ˤ, ʟ̟ˁ, ɰ̟ˤ]. The medial consonants are characterized by a low third formant (F3).

| {{PAGENAME}} is topic-prominent, like Japanese and Korean.
| |
|
| |
| Final ''b, d, ḑ, g'' are lenited to approximants ''v, d̆, r, ğ'' before a prefix beginning with a consonant.
| |
| *''-nU'' = plural (''nȧx'' = person, ''nȧxni'' = people; ''med'' = house, ''med̆nı'' = houses; ''suḑ'' = woman, ''surnu'' = women; ''''ŋꜵ'' = head > ''ŋꜵwor'' = as for the head)
