It is the third most widely spoken Nabŋaic language after [[Nabbrzé]] and (Sino-Korean inspired language).
+'''Řeuŋnie''' is an a priori conlang inspired by Czech, Dutch, and Cantonese.

+'''m n ŋ l r''' can be syllabic; when syllabic they are written '''ḿ ń ŋ́ ĺ ŕ''' and have the same length as long vowels.
+Voiceless stops are unaspirated as in Dutch and Czech.
+Obstruent voicing assimilation as in Slavic.
+Glottal reinforcement, but no gemination
+/l/ has the same l~ɫ allophony as in RP; vocalization of dark L to [w] possible
+In the Oeljanian accent, '''r''' is always a tap [ɾ]. In the Lo'edjeuan accent, '''r''' can be uvular.
+In the Oeljanian accent, '''ř''' is realized as a voiceless trill [r̥] in voiceless environments (word-finally and adjacent to a voiceless consonant). In the Lo'edjeuan accent, '''ř''' is always voiceless [r̥]. In dialects, '''ř''' is variously pronounced like [r̝] (the Czech ''ř''), [ʐ], [ʂ], [ʒ], [ʃ], or [ð], or merges with '''r'''.
+====Notes on consonant diachronics====
+Řeuŋnie shows debuccalization of Proto-Idavic *g to '''h''' /ʕ/; compare Dutch, Czech and Ukrainian. Proto-Nabŋaic *b has shifted to '''v'''. /p b g/ are loan phonemes.
-'''m n ŋ''' can be syllabic
+Proto-Idavic *ť ď has shifted to '''*č dž''' > '''c z'''.
-Glottal reinforcement
 ===Vowels===
-Dutch-like spelling:
+The spelling of Řeuŋnie vowels reflects a shift similar to the Great Vowel Shift (cf. Common Czech and Dutch), which also affects loanwords borrowed before the shift, such as most Netagin loans in Řeuŋnie.
-'''a e/ě i/y o u aa/ar ee/er/ěr ij/ei oo/or uu eu/ui ie/ir oe/ur ou r rr'''
+'''a e/je i/y o u á é ij/ei ó ú eu/ui ie oe ou''' /ɐ ɛ ɪ ɔ ɵ aː ɛː ɛɪ~ɪj aː yː~ʉː œː ɪː oː~uː əʊ~əʏ/
-Czech-like spelling:
+Closer allophones [ɪj~eɪ] of /ɛɪ/ are more common after palatals /c ɟ ɲ/.
-'''a e/ě i/y o u á/ar é/er/ěr ij/ei ó/or ú ő ie/ir ů/ur ou r rr''' /ɐ ɛ ɪ ɔ (Japanese u) ɑː(ɹ) ɛː(ɹ) ɪj~ɛɪ ɔː(ɹ) (Japanese ū) œː eː(ɹ) oː(ɹ) əʊ ə(ɹ) ɜː(ɹ)/
+*'''je i ie í eu''' are palatalizing; all other orthographic vowels are nonpalatalizing.
+**For C = '''b p v f''', '''Cje Ceu Cí''' denote /Cjɛ Cjœː Cjɛɪ/; '''mje meu mij''' denotes /mɲɛ mɲœː mɲɛɪ/.
+**For C = '''d t n''', '''Cje Ci Cie Cí Ceu''' denote /ɟ c ɲ/ + vowel.
+*'''ó''' mostly occurs in loanwords from [[Netagin]].
-'''ъ ь''' = devoiced u/i
+====Notes on vowel diachronics====
+Řeuŋnie has lost Proto-Nabŋaic vowel length. Pre-Proto-Nabŋaic i u e a ī ū ē ā become e o e a i y ě o when not lengthened. Some vowel devoicing has occurred (cf. Japanese), which gave Řeuŋnie more consonant clusters.
-'''ě i ie ij eu''' are palatalizing; all other orthographic vowels are nonpalatalizing
+Long vowels result from open-syllable lengthening (OSL): **čettijn > *četijn; **četijn > *čétijn. OSL occurred before the devoicing, making the Ourefr distribution of long vowels somewhat similar to Czech.
-Long vowels take two morae; downstep as in Japanese
+Modern '''ie ý/í oe ú''' result from older 'ää ý/í ó ú. Old Řeuŋnie u, ú has shifted to i, ij after soft consonants ''j č ž š ň *ľ ř''.
+Palatalizing '''eu''' /œː/ is common in native words. Common sources are:
+*Old Řeuŋnie /æː/ before velars or /l/: for example, ''řeuŋ'' /rœːŋ/ 'wind' comes from Old Řeuŋnie ''řa̋ŋ'' < PNab ''*rěŋu'' < PId ''*renwi''.
+*Old Řeuŋnie long /juː/, coming from PId /ew/ or /iw/.
+Non-palatalizing '''ui''' /œː/ comes mostly from historical ''*ujV'' or loanwords.
+Most speakers today are in the process of merging /ɜː/ into '''á''' /aː/.
+As suggested by the spelling, '''ŕ''' /ɜː/ comes from syllabic ''r''.
 ===Historically hard-soft vowel pairs===
-Some vowel letters denote palatalization of the preceding consonant. For example, dě tě ně is read as if it were spelled ďe ťe ňe.
 *hard y ~ soft i
 *hard u ~ soft i
 *hard a ~ soft ě
-*hard o ~ soft ě
 *hard ei ~ soft ij
+*hard á ~ soft ie/eu
 *hard ou ~ soft eu
 *hard ui ~ soft eu

 *hard ú ~ soft ij
-Long vowels result from OSL?
+Long vowels result from OSL ćettijn > cetijn; ćetijn > cétijn
+==Syntax==
+Lifted from Korean and Japanese; completely head-final except in poetry.

+Piyyut-like rhyming (i.e. last syllables agree) is the most common way to rhyme two words.
