==Phonology== | ==Phonology== | ||
Rówok's phonology is fairly conservative, a result primarily of the author's desire to be able to actually speak it. | |||
All of the sounds are found in English, save for /r̝/. | |||
Notable absences from the phonology are /f/ and /h/, especially noting that /p/, /b/, /v/, and /g/ and /k/ all exist. | |||

Rówok is written using largely the Latin alphabet as extended for South Slavic, with the addition of <ŧ> for the voiceless interdental fricative [θ], and <đ> is used for the voiced interdental fricative [ð], instead of for [dʑ] in South Slavic. | |||
There is also <ř> to indicate the same sound as in its inspiration in [[:w:Czech language|Czech]], namely [r̝]. | There is also <ř> to indicate the same sound as in its inspiration in [[:w:Czech language|Czech]], namely [r̝]. | ||

===Prosody=== | ===Prosody=== | ||
Prosody is not unlike something you'd here in the South Slavic languages. It is not particularly singsongy, and a lot of consonant clusters perhaps give Rówoka a bit of a rough sound. Nonetheless, there is a lot of epenthesis, augment, and other interesting vocalic patterns that nonetheless give the language an aesthetic flow and lends itself to mellifluous constructions, even if they might not be a characteristic of common speech. | |||
