Shalaic

Netagin (Nydoghin) is an Ashkenazi Hebrew- and Welsh-inspired Shalaic language. It is related to Shalaian but phonologically is less conservative.
About
External history
This is the fifth reincarnation of Netagin (my past Hebrew-inspired conlangs). I'm probably going to take a lot of aesthetic influence from Windermere and Skellan.
Phonology
A "Polish Welsh"
Vowels:
- full: i ə u e~ai o~au ɛ œ ɔ a eə oə i y u ae ao e ö o a ea oa
Consonants:
- soft mutation:
- p b t d h tʂ dʐ tɕ dʑ k g q (p b t d h cz j ć j́ c g q) -> b v d ð z dʐ ʐ dʑ ʑ g ɣ ɴ (b v d ð z j ż j́ ź g gh l)
- ejectives and geminates (from creaky voice) become fricatives: p’ t’ tɬ’ tʃ’ k’ q’ h -> f θ ʃ ʃ x χ s (f þ sz sz ch ħ s)
- fricatives: s ʂ ɕ h (s š ś h)
- others: m n ɴ (historical L~historical ʕ) r w y ʔ
Stress is always penultimate.
