'''Idosian''' (''ee-DOH-see-ən''; natively ''səyIdosm'' /səjiˈdosm̩/ lit. 'the language of the eastern people') is a major [[Tsimulh]] language mainly spoken in [[Verse:Tricin/herIdosm|herIdosm]], a country in East [[Verse:Tricin/Txapoalli|Txapoalli]]. It is one of the more innovative Tsimulh languages.
==Todo==
*intervocalic ʔ, h after a, e, o, i, u > ɹ
*intervocalic ʔ, h after î > y, after û > w
*high/fricated î, û > i u
*First get some hiatusing vowels
*''im, in'' in closed syllables > ''am, an''
*p-less: p becomes glottal stop?
there could be a rule where every unstressed syllable gets lenited
that would reduce the number of possible initial consonants
and if you couple that with post tonic syncope you could get some crazy phonotactics
like no initial clusters or even initial stops but weird tibetan like clusters in the middle of a word

===Consonants===
Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids. Idosian gained /ɹ/ via [[w:Linking and intrusive R#Intrusive R|R-intrusion]], influenced by an [[Old Shalian]] substrate; /ɹ/ may even occur word-initially (coming from words with null initial).
Modern Idosian has 25 consonants:

No initial clusters or stops are allowed, but after a stressed syllable anything goes.
