Zēsti(Ζήστι, pronounced [ˈzɛːˌsti]), a.k.a Rizzish(Ρίζι) is a Romance jokelang made to be as zesty as possible. It uses the Greek alphabet, which I personally consider the zestiest script of all time.
A signed version of Zēsti also exists, called Unspoken Rizz(ρίζι τασίτε).
Phonology
Orthography
Zēsti uses the Greek alphabet, because its zesty as hell.

The Zēsti alphabet is identical to the Greek alphabet, although pronunciation differs. For example, 〈Χχ〉(chi) is pronounced [ˈt͡ʃi], although the modern Greek pronunciation would be [ˈxi].
Consonants
All plosives in Zēsti are aspirated depending on whether they are voiced or not, e.g. /tʰ/(unvoiced) or /dʱ/(voiced).
Vowels
Prosody
Stress
Like in Greek, the tonos(´) is used to indicate where stress is placed, although by default stress is paroxytonic, meaning stress is placed on the penultimate syllable of a word.
