Phonology:

  • consonants (word-finally, unstressed): t (θ), p (ɸ), k (x) and (l)
    • stressed syllables end in ejectives, otherwise mildly aspirated
  • vowels (rounded): a /a/ (/ɶ/), o /ɑ/ (/ɒ/), e /e/ (/ø/), y /ɤ/ (/o/), i /i/ (/y/), u /ɯ/ (/u/)
    • initial-only: æ̃, ẽ, (ɔ̃), (ũ)

Phonotactics:

  • Onsetless language which only uses nucleus and coda
  • Vowel-harmony with roundedness --> only one rounded-mark: aei vs. :aei

Script:

  • vowel-abugida in which consonant codas are marked onto vowels:
    • aei /ˈat'.etʰ.iθ/, áéí /ˈap'.epʰ.iɸ/, àèì /ˈak'.ekʰ.ix/, :àeí /ˈɶk'.øtʰ.yɸ/, â /ˈal/, ã /ˈæ̃θ/
  • stress is marked only if it's not on the first syllable: ae /at'.eθ/ vs. a'e /atʰ.et'/
  • diphthongs: .aie /aɪ̯t'.eθ/, .ei, .oy, .ae, .ui
  • written from top to bottom in columns from left to right
