===Tones===
what about /əː/?
high modal = tone 2, high breathy = tone 3; low modal = tone 4, low breathy = tone 1
i'll merge it with /aː/
 
i might write the /aː/ from /əː/ as <ahr>
 
/j/ /w/ <-j -w> (ai and au are true nuclei)
 
qei sounds good
Partartian will have breathy voice btw
i'll give the rzaimy-like language a different name
final fricative > breathy (with compensatory lengthening) > falling tone
Qêi


there's no glottalized tone class unlike in RW (treated the same as breathy tone)
==Grammar==
(high, low ) x (modal, breathy) = 4 tones
===Derivational morphology===
====Erhua====
'Erhua' with the suffix ''-er'' / ''-r'' /-ɐ/ may occur.


nice
maybe 4 tones as in mandarin
high modal = tone 2, high breathy = tone 3; low modal = tone 4, low breathy = tone 1
