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
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].

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.
