'''Kliqel''' is a dialect of [[Iskel]] which is primarily distinct from the others in its phonology. Therefore, its orthography differs from other dialects for both romanization and native script. Its orthography is quite similar to [[Lanikel orthography|Lanikel's orthography]], another dialect of Iskel, but has crucial differences.

THIS PAGE IS INCOMPLETE AND INACCURATE PLEASE DISREGARD

Kliqel is a dialect of Iskel which is primarily distinct from the others in its phonology. Therefore, its orthography differs from other dialects for both romanization and native script. Its orthography is quite similar to Lanikel's orthography, another dialect of Iskel, but has crucial differences.

Romanization

Consonants

Some consonants can be written with either digraphs or a non-ASCII monograph. Syllabic consonants are always written as digraphs, however.

Occlusive Consonant Phoneme m n ɲ ɴ ɲʷ p t q b t͡s d͡z ŋ͡ʇ ŋ͡ǃ¡ ŋ͡ǂ k͡ʇʰ k͡ʇ k͡ǃ¡ k͡ǁ k͡ǂ
Grapheme m n ny ng nẙ p t q b ts dz cn kn cs ct kr kl ky
m n ñ ŋ nẙ p t q b ĉ cn kn cs ct kr kl ky
Continuant Consonant Phoneme ɸ θ s ɬ ç χ h β ð z ʝ w ɾ l j r ʀ
Grapheme f th s lh ch x h v d z j w r l y rr g
f þ s ł ç x h v d z j w r l y ř g

Vowels

Vowels with the circumflex diacritics change diacritics based on suprasegmentals, specified later in this article.

Toneless Vowel Phoneme i ɯ u e ɤ o ɛ ɔ a ɑ
Grapheme i î u e û o ê ô a â

Syllabic Consonants

Toneless syllabic consonants are written with an overdot. On digraphs, the underdot is written only on the first letter (e.g. /ɴ̩ ʀ̩/ get written ⟨ṇg ṛr⟩). The toneless syllabic consonants /ʝ̍ j̍/ are instead written ⟨ẏh ẏ⟩.

Toneless Syllabic Consonant Phoneme ɲ̩ ɴ̩ m̩ʷ n̩ʷ ɲ̩ʷ β̩ ð̩ ʝ̍ ɾ̩ ʀ̩
Grapheme ṇy ṇg ṃů ṇů ṇẙ ṿ ẏh ṛr

Tones

High tone on vowels is marked with an acute accent on vowels without a diacritic. On vowels with a circumflex, the circumflex is replaced with a grave accent (e.g. /í ɯ́/ are ⟨í ì⟩).

Mid tone on vowels is marked with a breve on vowels without a diacritic. On vowels with a circumflex, the circumflex is replaced with a tilde (e.g. /ī ɯ̄/ are ⟨ĭ ĩ⟩).

Low tone is marked with an apostrophe before the nucleus.

Because word-initial high tone words are most common, Iskel romanizes them differently to avoid extensive diacritic use: a high tone on a multisyllabic word is not written if there is only one high tone and it's word initial. Multisyllabic words with no tones are written as if they have a word-initial high tone.

For polypthongs, tone (not including low tone because it has unusual romanization) is always written on the first vowel grapheme, so every vowel with a tone diacritic begins its syllable's nucleus. It is therefore unnecessary to use a diaerisis on such vowels.

High Tone Vowel Phoneme ɯ˥ ɤ˥ ɛ˥ ɔ˥ ɑ˥
Grapheme í ì ú é ù ó è ò á à
Mid Tone Vowel Phoneme ɯ˧ ɤ˧ ɛ˧ ɔ˧ ɑ˧
Grapheme ĭ ĩ ŭ ĕ ũ ŏ õ ă ã
Low Tone Vowel Phoneme ɯ˩ ɤ˩ ɛ˩ ɔ˩ ɑ˩
Grapheme 'i 'u 'e 'o 'a

High tone syllabic consonants /ḿ̩ ń̩ ɲ̩́ ɴ̩́ ḿ̩ʷ ń̩ʷ ɲ̩́ʷ ź̩ ʝ̩́ ẃ̩ ĺ̩ j̩́ ɾ̩́ ʀ̩́/ have their underdots replaced with the acute accent ⟨ḿ ń ńy ńg ḿů ńů ńẙ ź ýh ẃ ĺ ý ŕ ŕr⟩. High tone /ð̩/ is written with ⟨ð⟩ instead of ⟨d́⟩, and high tone /β̩/ is written with a ⟨ŵ⟩.

Mid tone syllabic consonants are written similar to their toneless forms, but with overdots instead of underdots. The mid tone /β̩̄ j̩̄/, however, are written ⟨ẅ ÿ⟩.

High Tone Syllabic Consonant Phoneme m̩˥ n̩˥ ɲ̩˥ ɴ̩˥ m̩ʷ˥ n̩ʷ˥ ɲ̩ʷ˥ β̩˥ ð̩˥ z̩˥ ʝ̍˥ w̩˥ l̩˥ j̍˥ ɾ̩˥ ʀ̩˥

Gemination

Geminated single-letter phonemes are written by doubling their letter. Geminated digraphs are written by doubling their first letter.

Geminated syllabic consonants are marked by doubling the letter with the syllabic or tone diacritic. The syllabic geminate consonant /ʀ̩ː/ is only written with two marked ⟨r⟩s instead of two marked ⟨r⟩s and an unmarked one.

Disambiguation

Many consonant phonemes are expressed with multigraphs that have an equivalent cluster. They are differenciated orthographically with apostrophes placed between consonant graphemes in a cluster.

Polyphthongs are written by simply juxtaposing vowel letters together. Since all two- or three-vowel clusters contrast with a polypthong, a diaerisis is placed on the non-first grapheme(s) of such clusters to distinguish them.
