'''Iskel''', pronounced [ískel] natively or /ˈɪskəl/ in English, is [[User:Suqi|Suqi's]] first and most developed conlang. It was originally heavily based on Italian, Spanish, Korean, English, and Latin (creating the acronym ISKEL), but has been leaning much more ''a priori'' as development has progressed. Iskel first originated from a much more relex-like, or even code-like language called Lanesil, which only combined elements of English and Spanish in a transparently jumbled way, but was quickly replaced with a new language structure as Suqi learned more about linguistics. Some remnants of Lanesil still exist in Iskel, such as the word ''kire'' (to want) based on the Spanish word ''quiere'' (he/she/it wants), or the word ''to'' (two) based on the English word ''two''. | '''Iskel''', pronounced [ískel] natively or /ˈɪskəl/ in English, is [[User:Suqi|Suqi's]] first and most developed conlang.

There is a (C)(C)(C)V(V)(V)(C)(C)(C)(ʰ) syllable structure (where C excludes /ʰ/), with only 3 consonants and 3 vowels (triphthongs or three nuclei) being able to be adjacent at a time. All phonemes can be adjacent to one another except for Lanikel and Kliqel's /ɾ/s and Duskel's /r/. Geminate consonants or long vowels count as one instead of two. No phoneme can occur three times in a row. Long vowels cannot be part of polypthongs. Syllabic consonants cannot be adjacent to a vowel or another syllabic nucleus. | ||

Duskel is the second oldest, created much closer to Lanesil than Lanikel's current phonology. It was created to be an "evil" version of Iskel, but only for aesthetics. Duskel was never prioritized, so it only changed once after it was created, which was upon the creation of this wiki when it was finally updated to have sounds corresponding to all the new Iskel phonemes that have been added. | Duskel is the second oldest, created much closer to Lanesil than Lanikel's current phonology.
