A Méich Bhaonnáiqh non-human language by Aoife Ní Fhlaithbheartaigh spoken by uplifted crows

Phonology

"how close to Tiberian Hebrew can I get with an avian vocal tract anatomy and still sounding bird-like" (Assume similar constraints as C'aar)

• No rounded vowels; i e ɛ a ʌ ɤ ɯ (assuming backness is possible), with short, long and overlong
• "Rostral" (beak) instead of "labial"? Should I have these sounds at all? conventionally transcribed as if they were labials
• Glottal won't make sense
• Rostral: /p b pˁ f v ʙ/
• Apico-palatal: /t d tˁ θ ð s z tsˁ l r/
• Lamino-palatal: /c ɟ cˁ ç j/
• Pharyngeal: /ħ ʕ/
• Syringeal: /h ʔ/ (one syrinx), /h² ʔ²/ (both syrinxes)
