Xeno-Mandarin

Xeno-Mandarin (Putongyu or Putonglawas) is an Altaic conlang with a "nontonal Mandarin" aesthetic, spoken in northern China and parts of Mongolia and Siberia in Verse:Irta. It's a hypothetical answer to the question "What if Mandarin were an Altaic sprachbund language?"

Chinese words in this language should sound so Mandarin they're even polysyllabic, like taiyang "sun" instead of ri

-zi is quite productive and works even with Altaic words

Andalusian Spanish-style vowel harmony?
