Idosian (səyIdotsm lit. 'the language of the eastern people') is a major Tsimulh language mainly spoken in Idosia, a country in East 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 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:
