M-Clofabylin is a tonal language inspired by generic drug names and [[User:IlL|IlL]]'s [[Clofabylin]]. The phonology is a little like Hmong.

Covalent Greek has the following diphthongs: '''æ, ei''' /ɶi̯/ '''au''' /ɶu̯/ '''eu''' /eu̯/ '''œ''' /oi/ '''ue''' /ui/
 
M-Clofabylin phonotactics are really simple: monosyllables may be CV or (if not glottalized) CVC. Disyllables are CVCV or, again if not glottalized, CVCVC.
 
So for example "zu-mâb" and "zu-mä" are allowed but "zu-mäb" isn't.


Syllables may also begin with consonant clusters though only some clusters are allowed [list].
