Introduction

Covalent Greek is a language inspired by Greek, Hmoob, chemical names and IlL's Clofabosin.


Phonology

The phonemes are as follows:

Labial Dental Retroflex Velar Uvular Glottal
Unaspirated plosive p /p/ t /t/ r /ʈ/ c /k/ k /q/
Aspirated plosive ph /pʰ/ th /tʰ/ rh /ʈʰ/ ch /kʰ/
Voiced plosive b /b/ d /d/ g /g/
Nasal m /m/ n /n/
Lateral l /l/
Lateral fricative ll /ɬ ~ ɬ̢/
Fricative f /f/ x /s/ s /ʂ/ h /h/
Voiced fricative v /v/ z /z/
Front Front rounded Back
High i /i/ u /y/
Mid e /e/ y /ø/ o /o/
Low a /ɶ/

Phonotactics

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].
