Wīäkkarung (Thackish: Wỵạckẹríng wụttle) is a head-final language inspired by Tamil, Pama-Nyungan, Polynesian, Danish, Arabic, and German.
Phonology
Consonants
m /m/ nq /n̪ˤ/ n /n/ ng /ŋ/ ngq /ɴ/ p /p˭~b/ tq /t̪˭ˤ/ t /t˭~ɾ/ k /k˭~x/ kq /q/ w /ʋ/ d /ð̞ˤ/ r /ʁ~ɐ̯/ rr /ʀː/ l /l/ lq /dental emph. L)/ h /h/ (d is lowered Arabic Zaa')
Vowels
i /i/ ī /iː/ e /e/ ē /eː/ a /a/ ā /aː/ o /o/ ō /oː/ u /u/ ū /uː/ ei /aj/ au /aw/ By default, these vowels sound like [i e æ o u ɛj ɛw]; in RTR environments, [ɪ ɛ ɑ ɔ ʊ ɑj ɑw]. An RTR envionment is any vowel adjacent to an emphatic consonant (a cluster containing d, r, or rr).
Phonotactics
Initial dentals (<nh, th, d>) are not allowed. Vowel hiatus is.
