Silōs

The Silōs language is an a priori micronatlang spoken exclusively within the Cœlophycian Interim Diarchy. It is largely an isolating language, with occasional productive affixes and compound words. Silōs belongs to the Sinos-Koelic language family, therefore related to the Carichendan and Sinushyeinametiniq languages, moreso to the former. Silōs has a standardized Latin alphabet, but the language is natively written in the Silōs abugida.

Phonology

The phonology of Silōs is simple, indeed very limited, having no velar consonants, no secondary articulation, and no phonemic voicing besides for the labiodental fricative. There are five phonemic vowels. In total, this makes for only 15 distinct phonemes, not counting the palatal approximant, which is considered a mere allophone of the vowel /i/, nor the glottal fricative, which is an allophonic epenthesis in back-vowel hiati.
