Hwnic is an a priori semi-naturalistic agglutinative language. It attempts to broadly delineate what natural languages might look like in the future, influenced by sources as diverse as Internet slang, mathematical notations, and programming languages.

Overview

The phonology of Hwnic is mostly unremarkable. Hwnic is a pitch-accent language, and it has 5 vowels, 3 nasals, 7 plosives, 6 fricatives, 1 phonemic affricate, and 3 liquids. The continuants may be syllabic. Syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C)(C), with most word roots taking the form of C(C)V. Connected speech is subject to a set of more complex rules involving use of non-modal phonation.
