===Dialects===
In Dyimkumt, you naturally group subject and verbs together as well as tense identifiers. All of  of these you do with an apostrophe, which, verbally, can be spoken different ways. One way is to "invert" the aspiration on the next constant,(common to [[Dyimkumt/Dialects|cyangeuhen dialect]]) like 't would be pronounced [tʰ], 'c, the exception, would now not be aspirated because it naturally is aspirated. Another way is to pronounce a glottal stop, common to most [[Dyimkumt/Dialects|hebertan tribe dialects]]. The most uncommon way is to pronounce a bilabial click, ([ʘ]) which can be found in the [[Dyimkumt/Dialects|unkisa dialect]], a very small and weird dialect.

Writing to Phonotactics

The alphabet for Dyimkumt is relatively simple:

Upper case A C E F G H I L M N O P R S T U Y
Lower case a c e f g h i l m n o p r s t u y
IPA Normal IPA [a] [ɕʰ] [e] [f] [g] [h] [ɪ] [l] [m] [n] [o] [p] [ɹ] [s] [t] [u] [i]

Phonotactics

The syllable pattern is "C[yV/r[V/D]/V/D]N"(using awkword syntax), where C is a constant, V is a vowel, D is a vowel diphthong, and N is a nasal.

Basic grammar

Dialects

In Dyimkumt, you naturally group subject and verbs together as well as tense identifiers. All of of these you do with an apostrophe, which, verbally, can be spoken different ways. One way is to "invert" the aspiration on the next constant,(common to cyangeuhen dialect) like 't would be pronounced [tʰ], 'c, the exception, would now not be aspirated because it naturally is aspirated. Another way is to pronounce a glottal stop, common to most hebertan tribe dialects. The most uncommon way is to pronounce a bilabial click, ([ʘ]) which can be found in the unkisa dialect, a very small and weird dialect.

Another mix up between dialects is whether you have a apostrophe before every tense identifier, or in between every tense identifier. For my purposes, I will use the cyangeuhen standards, having an apostrophe before
